A Good Show.

Passing the stunts to attract the
populace, the show that opened in the
Coliseum, Chicago, November 9, is good
enough to win the praise of flower
lovers. From the point of view of the
critic, perhaps, it is deficient in big
stuff, but the arrangement is so good
non-professionals are not likely to no-
tice such a shortcoming. Lincoln park
sent a fine group of palms, but the
other parks held_aloof because of the
commercial flavor of the-show. Poehl-
mann .Bros. Co. and George Wittbold
Co. each put in well arranged large
groups of decorative plants that helped
greatly. As one enters, the place of
honor is held by an excellent table of
orchids by Poehlmann Bros. Co. Back

with pool and lawn showing evergreens.

that they were asked to buy space for

their non-competitive displays. They
responded well in both directions.
The big feature of the opening day
was the class for display of chrysan-
themums arranged for effect. The pre-
miums were $200, $150, $100 and three
of $50 each. The class brought out
five entries, from George V. Wien-
hoeber, O. J. Friedman, John Mangel,
Schiller and the George *Wittbold Co.,
the premiums being placed in the order
named. So keen was the competition
that a protest resulted and the entire
board of jurors rejudged the class, sus-
taining the original awards by a vote
of eig to three. Both the Wien-
hoeber and Friedman displays were
large, costly and splendidly arranged
and the class went a long way toward
making the show an artistic success.
Six retailers bought space for non-
competitive exhibits. Five of these
each used one of the sections between
the steel girders of the building as
they come down through the baleony,
but O. J. Friedman used two spaces.
The exhibitors were the E. Wienhoeber
Co., the George Wittbold Co., W. H.
Kidwell & Son, Simpson & Le Mer and
Schiller. In each case a background
was erected and decorated, the public
roped off and tables, baskets, vases,
novelty receptacles, etc., installed.

The Cut Mums.

Seldom if ever has a Chicago show
been stronger on big cut chrysanthe-
mums, but much smaller shows have
had larger showings of pompons and
singles. Turner is the king of the big
fellows, but for yellow old Bonnaffon
holds its place. Enguehard does not
take a back seat for Chieftain, which
seems light in color this year. Splen-
did big vases in many varieties are
shown by Mt. Greenwood Cemetery,
Poehlmann Bros. Co., Wietor Bros.,
E. G. Hill Co., Bassett & Washburn,
Fred H. Lemon, E. D. Smith & Co.,

The Roses.

The rose classes were not staged until
the second day, but at the opening
Wellworth Farm, Downers Grove, IIl.,
through the Chicago Flower Growers’
Association, staged fine vases of Kil-
larney Brilliant, Killarney and White
Killarney for exhibition only.

The competition on roses November
10 was the closest seen in many a day.
There was the largest number of con-
testants a Chicago show ever has
brought out and prizes were well dis-
tributed. A perusal of the list of
awards will show the appearance of
several new exhibitors and the advance
to the front of others who have not

heretofore gone in for this form of ad-

vertising. Beauties were few in num-
ber and two out-of-town growers _car-
ried away the first premiums! Milady

and Hoosier Beauty put Richmond out

of the running.

Among new roses, Tipperary, Champ
Weiland and Gorgeous made their de-
but, while Lady Alice Stanley also
was staged as a novelty, all in such
form as to indicate their value. The
quality of all the rose exhibits was un-
usually high. The awards were as fol-
lows: :

Lincoln, Ill, first; Bassett & Washburn, second;
Peter Reinberg, third.

Chrysanthemum Plants..

Western shows never are strong on
chrysanthemum plants—vunless_ they
import some big specimens from the
east. Curiously, in this show the largest
plants are from John Reardon, of the
Iowa State College, Ames, Ia. The
gardeners from Lake Forest and Lake
Geneva have fine plants, but not large.
Poehlmann Bros. Co. and Vaughan’s
Greenhouses exhibit specimens and
groups of commercial pot plants. _

The following were the awards in
the commercial classes:

One specimen plant, any color—lIowa State
College, first on George W. Childs; Vaughan’s
Seed Store, second.

Specimen plant, white—lIowa State College,

General View of the Chicago Grand Floral Festival as it Appeared the Opening Day, November 9.

Miscellaneous Pot Plants.

There have been other Chicago shows
stronger in palms and ferns, but none
so strong on cyclamens and crotons.
There are six excellent groups of cycla-
mens, from the Merriam Park Floral
Co., St. Paul; A. H. Sehneider, Oak
Park; Aurora Greenhouse Co., Aurora,
Ill.;. Frank Oechslin, Anton--Then and
Poehlmann Bros.Co. The latter ‘ex-
hibitor has a notable group of crotons
and Vaughan’s Greenhouses one of
smaller pieces, while in the private gar-
deners’ section William Allen, gar-
dener for J. S. Tilt, has a group of
splendid plants well arranged.

The Gardeners’ Exhibits.

The private gardeners hold a more
prominent place in this show than in
any heretofore held in Chicago, one of
the features being a competition be-
tween the gardeners of Lake Forest
and Lake Geneva for collection of veg-
etables. These and the fruits were
staged on two long tables, 3x75 feet,
back to back, and afforded Chicago peo-
ple a new idea of the perfection to
which articles of food from the garden
ean be grown by one who knows how.
The exhibits from Lake Geneva occu-
pied three express cars.

The awards to non-commercial grow-
ers were:

Six white mums, cut—J. J. Mitchell, A. J.

tion. There is a lecture each evening
as follows:

The Management.

The management was in new hands
this year and the infusion of youthful
energy has had its usual result. The
chairman of the executive committee
is A. Henderson, the secretary, N. P.
Miller, with August Poehlmann han-
dling the funds. Guy W. French is
manager, his first experience, but he
has proved himself well fitted for the
difficult task. The press work has been
exceptionally good, in the hands of H.
B. Kennicott, Robert Brenton and K.
M. Patterson.

TOLEDO, 0.

Toledo’s first annual flower show,
held November 7 to 9, was credited as
a grand success. On the day of the
opening, 10,000 people passed through
the turnstiles.

The Museum of Art, which was se-
cured for the occasion, was handsome-
ly decorated, the main entrance and
lobby being trimmed with southern
smilax and large banks of palms and
crotons. To the right and left of the
main entrance the wholesale florists
had their exhibits of chrysanthemums,
pompous, carnations and roses. Here
the choicest of these blooms, staged in
groups of twenty-five, made an excel-
lent showing and display. Many new
varieties were among those exhibited
and the visitors certainly wondered at
the size and perfection of the large-
flowering chrysanthemums.

The show was free to the publie and
the building was crowded with spec-
tators at all times. Thé smaller rooms
leading from the main display room
were used by the retail florists. for
displays of fancy table decorations, cor-
sages, wedding bouquets and fancy
baskets.

Among the most unique table decora-
tions was one by Metz & Bateman, con-
sisting of a large table with covers laid
for six. The center of the table was
covered with a plat of Ophelia roses,
from the center of which there was a
miniature Maypole, with strands lead-
ing to six dolls, which were dressed

Sweetheart roses.

The Lindley Floral Co. table con-
sisted of a setting for six, with dishes
and flowers carried out in a unique
gold effect. The centerpiece was a
basket of Sunburst roses and bronze
pompons. Corsage bouquets, as favors,
were carried out in the same color ef-
fect and tied with gold lace and cord.

The 8S. N. Peck table, named ‘‘ Gold-
en Wedding,’’ was handsomely set with
dishes painted by Mrs. Peck, and
trimmed with small yellow pompons.
There were favors to harmonize with
the centerpiece.

A table handsomely trimmed with
Ophelia and Sunburst roses, with lace

cups filled with Sweetheart roses, won
honors for Miss Helen Paiten.

The largest exhibit in the retail flo-
rists’ division was that of Schramm
Bros., who had an entire room for their
entry. The table decoration consisted
of a cornucopia on a base. The two
separate parts of this were filled with
Ophelia roses and lilies of the valley,
with a shower of .fine ribbon falling
to the base. The favors were corsages
and boutonnieres of the same flowers.
The table was styled the- ‘‘Bride’s
Table’’ because of the showers. From
this centerpiece to each plate there
were streamers of Adiantum Farley-
ense, covered with valley and orange
blossoms. To the left of the table a

was the ‘‘Living Picture.’’ This was
a large picture frame; with a back-
ground of green velvet, containing a
group of twenty-five gaged chrys-
anthemums. Two figures of boys were
placed in front of the frame, as though
gazing at the flowers.; This was the
finishing touch to the- display, which
was noteworthy because of the exact-
ness in the pose of the;figures and the
resemblance in the two?faees.

A corsage of orchids’ and: valley, an

Maine’s first state-wide chrysanthe-
mum show, held under the auspices of
the recently organized Maine State Flo-
rists’ Society, opened November 1 for a
two days’ display with large and varied
entries of Maine-grown mums.

The predominating variety was
Chrysolora, with blooms averaging
seven inches in diameter. There were
several entries of William Turner,
which were grown at Portland. As the
show was held for the purpose of show-
ing Maine people what wonderful mums
could be grown in the. Pine Tree state,
it may well be counted a success, for
the blooms certainly ‘were of extra
quality and the attendance larger than
what was expected. {

Among the exhibiters were C. 8.
Strout, of Biddeford; J. W. Minott Co.,
of Portland; Mt. Desert Nurseries, of
Bar Harbor; P. M. Ohm, of Bath; E.

NEW YORK MUSEUM SHOW.

Viewed by Many Thousands.

The annual autumn exhibition of the
Horticultural Society of New York was
held November 4 to 7, at the Amer-
ican Museum of Natural History, as
usual, where no admission fee can be
charged. It was the greatest flower
show, as to attractiveness and attend-
ance, ever seen in New York. Up to

Saturday night over 100,000 visitors -

had been counted. The doors were
opened Sunday at 1 o’clock and at that
hour a crowd of many hundreds had
assembled, the line in the street reach-
ing a block away. The big building
was filled to its capacity for four hours
and 88,593 persons passed the counter,
bringing the total attendance to 194,024.
No such interest and enthusiasm has
ever been seen at a flower show in this
country. It is a promise of a great
success at the spring exhibition here.

The special feature of the show were
Join Canning’s enormous bush chrys-
anthemums. A. A. McDonald, gardener
for J. B. Duke, had a wonderful bank
of palms and ferns, fruits, vegetables,
roses, orchids, mums, lilies and autumn
foliage built up from floor to ceiling.
Special prizes and gold medals were
awarded these gentlemen and they were
richly deserved. Canning’s big plants
were R, F. Felton, Lady Lydia, Black-
hawk, Greystone and Ramapo, the larg-
est, Felton, being seventeen feet in
diameter and carrying over 1,400 per-
fect flowers.

The bush plants filled the rotunda
and the general exhibits occupied near-
ly all the available space of the entire
ground floor of the museum. A visitor
in making the rounds and ‘‘keeping to
the right,’’ was first greeted by P. W.
Popp’s extensive display of dahlias.
A. L. Miller’s Otaheite oranges and
Salvia Greggii were next in line. R. G.

ilson’s new fern was greatly ad-
mired; it is a distinct novelty and
8ives every promise of general ac-
ceptance.

Guttman & Raynor staged Laura

Veber carnations, which received spe-
Cial mention. Cottage Maid won for

Scott Bros. L. G. Forbes showed Yel-
low Prince and R. Hughes, of Flushing,
received a silver medal for his carna-
tion. exhibit.

Max Schling, not for competition,
had a Thanksgiving table decoration of
fruits and flowers. He staged Totty’s
new rose, Gorgeous, effectively in vase
and basket and also showed his pre-
served autumn leaves; baskets of mums,
orchids, frames and plaques, all greatly
admired by the crowds.

W. A. Manda had fine exhibits of his
new dahlias, junipers, golden privet and
ferns.

The orchid display was excellent.
Lager & Hurrell and Joseph Manda
were the trade exhibitors and Clement
Moore and George Schlegel sent splen-
did groups. Mr. Milosy, gardener for
Mr. Schlegel, also staged his beautiful
new seedling anemone. One of the
most interesting exhibits of the show
was James Stuart’s collection of cut

nerines, in beautiful shades from pink
to crimson, rivaling the orchid.

L. A. Noe was there with his first-
prize American Beauties, as_ usual.
F. RB. Pierson Co. staged a grand lot of
roses in variety. Wm. Tricker’s new
hardy mum, Arlington, seems to be a
valuable novelty. He also showed
everblooming Nymphea Panama-Pacific
and winter-flowering hybrid tuberous
begonias. The Julius Roehrs Co. dis-
played outdoor mums only.

C. H. Totty’s magnificent chrysan-
themums were up to his high standard.
R. Vincent, Jr,, & Sons Co., of White
Marsh, sent an extensive collection of
hardy mums, not in competition. James
Stuart’s single mums, in twenty-four
varieties, were superb.

A. N. Pierson, Inc., had a table of
their new single and pompon mums
and some splendid roses, including Ra-
diance, ‘Hoosier Beauty, Ophelia and
Mrs. Hearst.

WORCESTER, MASS.

The liveliest spot in Worcester No-
vember 4 and 5 was Horticultural hall,
where the Worzester County Horticul-
tural Society had its annual chrysan-
themum skow. Lovers of flowers
packed the,hall both days. °

The general idea of the exhibition
was a garden, with walks banked with
bay trees and palms. Other greens
outlined the displays, each presenting a
small garden. In the center of the
hall there was a 6-foot vase of chrys-
anthemums banked with ferns,’ dis-
played by Harry Randall. The. orches-
tra was screened from view by palms
and foliage plants furnished by H. F.
A. Lange.

A new carnation called Miss Theo
was exhibited there by Littlefield &
Wyman, of North Abington, Mass. The
table decorations were a center of in-
terest. H. F, A. Lange, who received
first prize, had a table with a reflector
in the middle, banked with maidenhair
fern, valley and Mrs. Ward roses, with
silver vases of valley and Sunburst
roses resting on a glass plate. The

All the stock not of amateur produc-
tion was donated by well known trade
firms, probably out of compliment to
Mr. Rye. Charles H. Totty, Madison,
N. J., showed some of his 1915 crea-
tions, such as Mrs. J. P. Mitchel, Mrs.
L. J. Ruter, Bob Pulling, Ear! Kitchen-
er, A. S. Baldwin, Mrs. G. L. Wigg
and many varieties of pompon mums.
Elmer D. Smith & Co., Adrian, showed

of preservation. George Rye promises
the public of Fort Smith that the suc-
cess of this exhibition will assuredly
stamp it as an annual event.

AMERICAN INSTITUTE SHOW.

The American Institute’s eighty-
fourth flower show, or ‘‘ fair,’’ was held
in the Engineering building, 25 West
Thirty-ninth street, New York, Novem-
ber 3 to 5, and, as usual, proved a
splendid success. Unfortunately, New
York was called on to welcome two
large flower shows on the same dates,
but it is a big city and equal to all calls
made on it.

The institute show was a gem as to
quality of exhibits and lacked only
space to make it the Mecca of all
flower lovers; its fruits and vegetables
and plants and cut flowers being in
keeping with its almost century-old
reputation. Charles H. Totty. carried off
the honors in the mum sses, Peter
Duff in specimen plants, old Cottam
in fruits, Lager & Hurref in orchids
and Max Schling and G. E) M. Stumpp
in floral novelties, baskets, plaques,
bouquets, ete. The prize-winners were:

BOSTON.

The annual fall show of the Massa-
chusetts. Horticultural Society, former-

ly known as the chrysanthemum show,
was held November 4 to 7 and proved
to be one of the finest this society has
yet held. Chrysanthemum blooms of
specimen size were fewer than usual,
though of splendid quality, and trained
plants were not so numerous as usual,
but they were not missed particularly,
for the huge blooms and plants have
long ago ceased to attract Bostonians.
In their place were shown large num-

‘bers of single, pompon and anemone

chrysanthemums, splendid groups of
flowering and foliage plants, orchids of
grand quality, superb carnations, nu-
merous decorated dinner tables and
mantels, and fruits and vegetables of
superb quality; in fact, if the big
blooms had not been shown at all, the
would have been but little missed.
Thus tastes change!

For the best group of flowering and foliage
plants covering 300 square feet, A. M. Daven-
port won with a well-arranged group, in which
splendidly flowered Mrs. Heal begonias were a
feature, in addition to chrysanthemums; . the
W. W. Edgar Co. was a close second with another
fine arrangement. William Thatcher, gardener
for Mrs. J. L. Gardner, was first for the private
gardeners’ group. Lilium speciosum. was freely
used in this. F. J. Dolansky and Wheeler & Co.
were first and second for group of orchids. Both
were beautifully arranged and contained a splen-
did lot of plants, the best ever seen“here at a
fall show. 5

For six orchids F. J. Dolansky wonm:with Cat-
tleya labiata, Dendrobium formosum *;
Cypripedium insigne, C, Sander, C.
marmoratum and Phalsnopsis am
Dolansky also led for single specimen
a fine Cattleya labiata; Henry Stewar#, gardener
for Miss C. Warren, second, with a grandly flow-
ered Oncidium varicosum Rogersii.

William Thatcher won first prize and a silver
medal for a-fine 200-foot circular group of chrys-
anthemums, single-flowering varieties predominat-
ing; A. M. Davenport, second, For six trained
specimen chrysanthemums Williatm Watson, gar-
dener to J. 8. Bailey, was first with Theo, Mrs.
Duckham, Dr. Enguehard, Lady Lydia, Annie
Laurie and Yellow Garza. For one trained speci-
men, white, A. E. Griffin, gardener for G. L. Stone,
was first with a beautiful plant of Garza. This
also secured a silver medal, offered for the best
chrysanthemum plant in the show; W. C. Rust,

ardener for Mrs. C. G. Weld, was second with
arza. :

For specimen yellow W. C. Rust was first and
second with Yellow Garza and Mrs. Duckham.
For eepaggt pink A. M. Davenport was first with
Chieftain; William Watson, second. For twenty-
five commercial plants, W. H. Elliott and A. M.
Davenport won in the order named. Their plants
were finely flowered, bushy and not staked at
all. For twelve specimen, single-flowering va-
rieties, E. H. Wetterlow, gardener for Mrs. L.
Leland, won with Snow Queen, Amber Queen,
Tom Carr, Joan Edwards, Excelsior, Charles
Kingsley, Sylvia Slade and Isabel Felton, as his
best plants. ’

There was a strong entry for six plants of Be-
gonia Gloire de Lorraine and its varieties. W. C.
Rust won with huge specimens four feet across;
A. E. Griffin, second. For six piests of any other
winter-flowering variety, A. . Davenport was
first with a grand lot of the brilliant scarlet,
Mrs. Heal.

tinct, D. F. Roy, gardener for H. E. Converse,

Meudon, Wm. Meade, James Fraser, Wm. Turner,
Madison, Marquise de Venosta, Mrs. Foote, W.

it was difficult to move around the

PHILADELPHIA.

That the Pennsylvania Horticultural
Society was able to put up, November
9, so good a show in the face of dis-
couraging conditions is commendable.
Many things are against it. The war

has caused retrenchment and the Great
Reaper has been at work. John Hob-
son did not feel like exhibiting on ac-
count of his great loss; Joseph Hurley
could not come, out of respect to his
employer’s memory, and, worst of all,
at the last moment William Kleinheinz
withdrew the Lynnwood Hall entries
on the death of Peter A. B. Widener.
These defections caused a gap, but the
ranks closed up bravely. The show
is a good exhibition, though not a large
one.

The central floor arrangement com-
prises groups of handsome specimen
chrysanthemums, with a central Cibo-
tium Schiedei or Kentia Forsteriana
in each. There are pergolas covered
with smilax, autumn foliage and ferns
on each side, where visitors may sit
and look and listen.

Dreer has filled the stage with one
of those carefully chosen collections of
foliage plants that give a comprehen-
sive idea of what is grown at River-
ton. Opposite is Louis Burk with his
orchid case, with an addition this time,
and his charming orchid picture. Near-

by is a fine group of foliage plants and
crotons from John Wanamaker.

Cater-cornered from this’ exhibit is
the Robert Craig group of highly col-
ored crotons and dracenas edged with
early cyclamens in bloom. The show
has always been noted for-its fine ferns
from the private greenhouses in and
about the city. Quite a number of
these are here in their old-time glory.
There is a commercial addition in the
shape of a beautiful table of Asple-
nium Nidus-avis from William K.
Harris.

The cut chrysanthemums are superb,

though not numerous in the Japanese -

The pompons, including singles
and semi-doubles, are evidently. in-
creasing in favor. They afford a wide
range of color, in many lovely shades.
Stroud, Meehan, Vincent and Michell
have added beautifully arranged col-
lections to those of the private gar-
deners. The Meehan collection was
arranged in baskets as well as in vases.

minder that it is time to plant Mich-

MISS WINDMILLER’S SHOW.

The traveler familiar with the high-
ways and byways of the Gopher state
will remember, at this prompting, the
enterprising town of Mankato, situated
on a bend of the Minnesota river. The
traveler probably also may recollect
that this place is the home of the Wind-
miller Co., a concern consisting of a
live-wire corps of workers, headed by
the energetic Miss Pauline Windmiller.

Always with a keen eye for schemes
that will create sales and new custom-
ers, Miss Windmiller every little while
startles the other members of the com-
pany by putting over a topnotch, busi-
ness-getting stunt.
was born to be a florist and saleslady.
Just by way of diversion one season
she captured first and second prizes for
exhibits at the Minnesota state fair
and won a diploma at the South Da-
kota state fair, the sweepstakes cf the
show.

The latest achievement of Miss Wind-
miller and her fellow-workers is the
Mankato flower show, held in the Na+
tional Guard armory, November 2 to
4. To say that the show was a success
would be putting it mildly. It not only
was profitable to the Windmiller Co.,
but also advertised the concerns that
sent exhibits.

Now, large flower shows, to which ad-
mission is charged, are, as everyone

knows, quite common in large cities,
where they are usually sponsored by
trade societies. It has remained for
the Windmiller Co. to show how a flower
show on a fairly large scale can be a
success even when held under the au-
spices of only one member of the trade.

As the Mankato flower show simply
had to win and pay for itself, Miss
Windmiller and her fellow-workers did
things thoroughly. They went after
retailers and growers alike, asking them
to send ‘exhibits to the show. A week
previous.\to the show, the Windmiller
Co. came

was 25 cents.
The returns from, the show were so
gratifying to the Wimdmiller Co. that

Miss Windmiller °

plans are being made for a bigger show
in 1916. The company received columns
of space in the local papers, which was
one of the things desired. If other
florists were to follow. suit along this
line there would be an appreciable ad-
vancement of the florists’ business and
a liberal education in flowers for the
publie.

The following concerns sent compli-
mentary exhibits to the show:

M. Rice Co., Philadelphia, artificial wreaths.
-~ A. N, Kinsman, Austin, Minn., chrysanthe-
mums,

©. C. Pollworth Co., Milwaukee, Wis., roses
and chrysanthemums.

A. Henderson & Co., Chicago, plants.

E. C. rs Co., Chicago, orchids.

E. W. McLellan Co., San Francisco, violets and
calla lilies.

The Windmiller Co. also feels indebt-
ed to the following for advice and co-
operation: L. L. May. & Co., of St.
Paul, Minn.; Penn the Florist, of Bos-
ton; Clark the Florist, of Mt. Vernon,
N. Y.; W. L. Rock, of ‘Kansas City;

HOUSTON FLOWER SHOW PLANS.

All plans for the state flower show,
which will open at the Auditorium,
Houston, Tex., November 17, directly

after the carnival festivities, are now

completed. The show will be intro-
duced by a great flower parade on the
morning of the opening day, headed
by fifty automobiles containing pretty
girls and great bunches of chrysanthe-

mums. It is arranged that all those
who are participating in the home gar-
den contest, embracing some 150 en-
tries, will be included in the parade,
. together with many women’s clubs
which are interested in the flower show.

R. C. Kerr, of the committee on ar-
rangements, states that the Audito-
rium will be packed to capacity with
exhibits and that 200 florists within
the state and fifty florists from other
states are expected to attend the show.

Special features have been arranged
to attract the crowds. There will be
living models wearing elaborate gowns
and showing the uses of made-up cut
flower pieces, such as shoulder sprays,
corsages, tango bouquets, ete. The
anklet bouquet, the latest scream in
bouquets, will be specially featured.
There also will be mock marriages, in
which the bride, bridegroom and
bridesmaids will demonstrate the flo-
rists’ wares used on those occasions.
Mr. Kerr thinks this year’s show will
be 100 per cent better than the one
of last year and that the attendance
will be twice as great as that of last
year.

ECHOES ON GODFREY CALLAS.

The article on Godfrey callas which
appeared in The Review for September
2 brought several comments from suc-
cessful growers of this calla in this
country. Now there comes an echo
from the originator of the Godfrey
calla, W. J. Godfrey, of Godfrey & Sons,
Exmouth, Devonshire, England, who
wrote to the Horticultural Advertiser,
The Review’s contemporary in Eng-
land, as follows:

“In a recent issue of the Horticultural Ad-
vertiser you give a note from The Florists’ Re-
view, of Chicago, Ill., U. S. A., respecting the
Godfrey calla. It was my fortune to perfect
the Godfrey calla, which is now fairly well
krown throughout the United States, several
continental countries, but especially in the
Channel Isles, as well as in this country. In
Jersey and Guernsey it is grown by the acre.
and growers there claim for it that in addition
to its other good qualities, it is semi-hardy.

“Many who grow the Godfrey calla allow
their stocks to remain in the ground throughout
he winter. However, the main -object of pen-
ning these lines (we have no stock to dispose
of), is to draw attention to the fact that the
variety has not been honored in any way by
the Royal Horticultural Society.

Twenty years ago I placed blooms and plants

before the floral committee on three occasions,
but their merits were ignored. Some of the
committee asserted the variety was the Little
Gem, a quite useless and shy-blooming variety.

‘“‘However, by merit alone, the Godfrey calla
has forged its way to the front and has prac-
ticelly ousted the older and once popular variety,
for ninety-nine out of 100 blooms we find in Covent
Garden just now or before Christmas are of
the variety mentioned. It is, nevertheless, to
be regretted that the Royal Horticultural Society
allowed the Godfrey calla to pass without
recognizing its merits.’’

ARISTOLOCHIA SIPHO.

Will you please advise me as to the

propagation of Aristolochia Sipho?
A. D—S. D.

I have tried propagation by both half
ripe and mature wood, but only a small
proportion have rooted. As A. Sipho
produces seed freely, this is the general
method of propagation. Sow the seed
as soon as it is ripe, or, if you have
no seed, procure it from a firm special-
izing in seeds of trees, shrubs and climb-
ers, and sow in heat in pans of sandy
loam. Pot off singly and later plant out
in the field. It can be propagated by
layering, but not readily. - C. W.

FREIGHT ON MOSS.

The Interstate Commerce Commission
has decided that the carload rate and
minimum weight applied to the trans-
portation of sphagnum moss in carloads
from City Point, Mather, Sparta, To-
mah and other points in Wisconsin tak-
ing the same rate, to Oklahoma City,
Okla., are unreasonable. A reasonable
rate and minimum weight are pre-
scribed for the future and reparation
is awarded to the complaining company,
the Barteldes Seed Co., of Lawrence,
Kan., and the Oklahoma Traffic As-
sociation.

The moss is pressed into bales 14x18x
40 inches, weighing 25 to 35 pounds
and worth at the shipping point 50 to
60 cents per bale. The railroads, in
the argument of the case, said no good
reason could be assigned. for the old
rate on moss, which was 3 cents higher
than the rate on lumber, and it was
canceled. The fifth-class rating was
adopted by the classification committee.
The western carriers established a
fourth-class rate, with a car minimum

weight of 15,000 pounds from Chicago
territory, and applied the rate to Kan-
sas City, Springfield and Joplin, and
other points at which the complainants
allege they encounter competition with
dealers and distributors of moss. The
railroads said they were willing to ap-
ply the same basis to Oklahoma City,
but opposed the establishment of a com-
modity rate. The record showed no
movement to Oklahoma City since 1913
and only an inconsiderable movement
previously. The complaining company

_ Said.a reasonable charge for a 50-foot

car would be between $135 and $150.
They suggested the present fifth-class
rate of 68 cents, minimum 15,000

pounds, or that moss be given the bene-

fit of the western classification rating
for moss not otherwise indexed by

name, fifth-class, minimum weight 20,-

000 pounds for cars of any size.

The specific shipment complained of
was moss over the Green Bay & West-
ern railroad, 15,079 weight; 4914-foot
car used, the minimum weight thereon
being 33,360 pounds. The fifth-class
rate of 68 cents per hundred pounds

‘was assessed, the charges amounting to

$226.

The commission says the rates and
minimum weights complained of were
and are unreasonable to the extent that
they exceed from City Point, Mather,
Sparta, Tomah and other points in Wis-
consin taking the same rate the fourth-
class rate of 87 cents per hundred
pounds, and from Phillips the fourth-
class rate of $1.01 per hundred pounds
with a minimum weight of 15,000
pounds per 36-foot car. For the future
the rates will not be in excess of the
fourth-class rates concurrently in effect,
says the commission, which awards $45
refund to the complaining company.

E. H.

Streator, Ill—The cucumber stock
of the Davis-Steiner Co. was damaged
by fire and smoke October 27 to the
extent of -$3,000. The fire was caused
by burning grass along the railroad
tracks, which had crept to the: green-
houses and started the flames while
the workmen were at lunch. This
branch of the Davis-Steiner Co. is in
charge of Charles Elliott.

STEM-ROT AND OTHER DISEASES.

Noticing so many references in. The
Review to stem-rot and ether diseases
of carnations, I thought I might ven-
ture to say something about my meth-
ods, as they have produced good re-
sults here, near San Francisco, Cal.
Out of 5,000 plants I believe I have.
not lost one; neither are any of them
diseased in any way, as far as I know.

When transplanting to the field in
early spring, I use hydrated lime on the
soil at the rate of about 1,500 pounds
to the acre. After the ground has been
spaded or plowed, the lime is applied
and thoroughly raked or harrowed in.

When lifting in the fall, I dip the
tops of the plants in a fungicide pre-
pared as follows: Put twenty-five
pounds of quicklime in a 50-gallon bar-
rel; add enough water to slake, and —
while it is boiling add ten pounds of
flowers of sulphur. Keep this well
stirred with a shovel or paddle until
it is thoroughly slaked; then fill up the
barrel with water and stir thoroughly
again. Then let it settle and it will
form ‘a golden-colored liquid. Use one
part of this liquid to one part of water.
For mildew on roses and all fungous
diseases, I spray the foliage and the
ground around the plants, as well as
the plants in the houses, with this so-
lution. Dipping field-grown plants in
this fungicide kills all red spider and
the spores of most of the diseases that
the carnation is heir to.

This liquid will not evaporate in the
barrel, as it forms a scum over the top.
After using the first mixture, fill the
barrel again with water and stir thor-
oughly. After it has settled, use the
resulting liquid clear, not adding any
water. Geo. N. Tyler.

GRUBS IN CARNATION FIELD.

Last season we had a considerable
number of grubworms in our carnation
field, the white kind, with reddish
heads. They have not done a great deal
of damage, but when we lifted the
plants we found a great many, of dif-
ferent sizes, which, of course, we de-
stroyed. We intend to plant our carna-
tions in the same ground next season,
and should like to know whether there
is anything we can do to kill or drive
away some, at least, of those which we
did not find at lifting time. What is
the average life of the grubworm and
into what sort of insect does it develop?
What is the life of the cutworm, the
kind which feeds at night, and into
what insect does it develop?

C. B.—Ohio.

The grubworm you complain of is thee
common white grub, which is more de-
‘structive than any other of the nu-
‘merous varieties of that species. It is
usually found only in limited numbers,
so that, by digging around the roots
of a plant that shows injury, we can in

IONS

a short time ‘find all that happen to be
in a bench. In aggravated cases, it is
recommended to use a poisoned bait,
like bran, arsenic and sugar. Carbon
bisulphide, applied to the soil, is also
supposed to destroy them. In the field,

-however, a different problem presents

itself, because it is practically: impos-
sible to treat a field in the same way
as one would a bench. If you have
chickens, one of the most effective
methods is to plow the field and allow
the chickens to follow the plow. They
will find more than you could possibly
reach in any other way that I could
suggest. I would also advise that you
plow this field. as late as possible this
fall, in November or later. The life
cycle of this grub ‘is supposed to be
three to four years.

The variegated cutworm produces at
least two generations annually. The
eggs are. laid by a rather large-sized
moth, and these go through the several
stages, one of which is the cutworm you
refer to. Poisoned baits are the best
remedies. Ay Pd. B.

POOR GROWTH AFTER BENCHING.

Under separate cover, I am sending
two White Perfection carnation plants
which have some sort of disease. Will
you kindly let me know what the
trouble is? We planted them inside
about September 15. They were shipped

to me with no soil on the roots. They
wilted badly at first, and then one
branch after another would wither un-
til the whole plant was dead. I have
lost 1,000 out of 3,000 so far, and about
half of the rest look as if they might
die. They are planted in the same kind
of soil as the rest of my carnations,
most of which were grown by myself,
There are 12,000 to 15,000 of these and
they are doing well.

The soil was plowed down outside
early in spring, after spreading cow
manure on it. Nothing has been used
on the soil since then, except a light
sprinkling of air-slaked lime. The roots
were dipped in water -before being
“planted and the house was shaded. The
beds have had just the right degree of
moisture since planting time, but the
roots did not take hold well.

Cc. 8S. L.—Pa.

Though I would not. be justified in
giving a positive opinion, the behavior
of your White Perfection plants may
be due to the ordeal of being lifted and
shipped. If the plants were soft from
excessive rains, or if the weather condi-
tions were unfavorable, such results
might be brought on. You state that
they wilted severely. That fact would
tend to prove the correctness of my
conjecture, unless they were neglected,
and you say they were not. The loss
of foliage and even of branches and
whole plants could result from this
severe wilting.

I notice that these plants are throw-
ing numerous breaks from the hard
wood, which shows that the plants are
taking hold now. If you trim out the
dead stuff, they will probably make a
fair growth. The crop, of course, will
be late and _ possibly unprofitable.
Whether it would pay you to trouble
with them, is a question you will have
to determine for yourself. A. F. J. B.

SEASONABLE SUGGESTIONS
FOR SOUTHERN FLORISTS

TMM

AZALEAS IN THE SOUTH.

Azaleas intended for Christmas flow-
ering should be in a house with a night
temperature of 65 degrees. The vari-
eties mostly forced in the south are
Mme. Petrick, Deutsche Perle, Simon
Mardner and Verveneana. Six weeks
in the temperature mentioned will bring
these varieties into flower and allow
for hardening them off in a cool house.
They keep a long time at this season
of the year; so let the’flowers develop
well before removing them to a cool
temperature.

The newly imported plants are the
only ones that can be forced in the
south. Plants carried over from the
previous year begin to throw scattering
flowers during summer, so that when the
fall comes the plants haye almost fin-
ished blooming. This is more particu-
larly true of the early varieties. The
later varieties, especially in the north-
ern section of the south, do well. In the
southern section none of these plants
can be held till Easter. To have them
make an even head of bloom, it is nec-
essary to give them a little fire heat at

/

night, so as to provide a temperature
of 50 degrees. This tends to maintain
a kind of average between the high
and low temperatures which prevail in
the south, and causes the plants to flow-
er evenly. -A’ lower temperature, on
account of the vagaries of the weather,
will result in ragged-looking plants.

There are some parts of the northern
section of the south, however, where
freezing weather is common, and the
plants can be wintered successfully in
deep coldframes, specially constructed
to exclude frost. In extremely cold
spells an additional covering of long,
strawy manure can be laid on top of the
sashes. A cold spell in the south rarely
lasts over two or three days, and the
covering can safely be left on the
sashes as long as the cold spell lasts.
Remove the sashes entirely when the
weather is warm and give plenty of air
on all favorable occasions.

To earry the plants during the sum-
mer, plunge the pots in ashes in a
frame, or plant them out in a light soil
containing plenty of leaf-mold and a
little well rotted manure. They do
much better when planted out. L.

STARTING SWEET PEA PLANTS.

I am erecting a small greenhouse, in
which I wish to grow sweet peas this
winter. The house will be completed
about November 15. About ten or fif-
teen days ago I planted the sweet peas
in paper pots and placed them on the
cellar floor, where I thought they would
develop root growth and not be too
warm. I now find that they are up
about one inch and are quite delicate
looking. I placed them under glass in
a coldframe, but fear they have come
up too soon. Do you think the ones
started will come out all right? If
not, how shall I proceed with another
planting so that I shall have blooms, if
possible, in January or early in Feb-
ruary ? E. S.—Pa.

The sweet peas should not have been
placed on a cellar floor. It would have
been far better to stand them in a cold-
frame or on a greenhouse bench, It is
probable that your plants are not
spoiled, however, and will harden up
after a few days in the light. If they
show signs of deterioration, start an-
other batch at-once. Sow in flats of
sand in a temperature of 55 degrees at
night. If your house is not ready for
them when they are fit to transplant,
pot off singly in 38-inch pots and later
transfer to the beds. Ce Wi,

SWEET PEA VINES DYING.

We are sending you under separate
cover a few stalks of our sweet peas,
to see whether you can tell us what is
wrong and what to do for them. We
potted the seeds August 15 and put
the seedlings in the house September
26, but they do not seem to make
much headway. Some of them are
growing fairly well, while others are
at a standstill, like the ones we are
sending you.. The lower leaves begin
to turn yellow; this discoloration
works gradually toward the top of the
plant, and the stalk becomes hard. We
are carrying a night temperature of
about 45 degrees. We took out all the
old soil and replaced it with new soil
when they ‘were planted in the house.
We have been fumigating them twice
a week and spraying with nicotine for
aphis, but we do not seem to get re-
sults. The plants are practically clean
of insects. B. L.—Ohio.

_The sample vines sent were certainly
Sickly, and, if they are a fair sample
of your plants, I am afraid they will
prove to be of little value. It is not
at all easy to tell why the vines have

manure added, as well as some fine

Sweet peas need
The ideal one con-

bone. In solid-beds they should have a
foot of soil, but of course they can be
grown successfully on raised benches in
half this depth. The drainage should
always be liberal. Sometimes growers
allow their seedlings to get somewhat
leggy before planting them, and then
bury several inches of the stems to im-
prove their looks. Stem-rot follows, of
course. Your fumigating should keep
the plants clean, and the night tem-
perature is all right. It should be 5
degrees higher at flowering time, how-
ever.

If the majority of your peas are like
the samples sent, I would suggest sow-
ing again in flats of sand, transplant-
ing from the sand to the beds. Per-
haps none of the foregoing suggestions
may fit your case, though they are
given in the hope that some one of
them may help you. C. W.

FERTILIZER FOR SWEET PEAS.

Instead of stable manure, how much
pulverized sheep manure and bone meal
can be used in an 800-foot row for
sweet peas, the fertilizer being placed
in the bottom of the row before sowing
the seed for outdoor culture and the
planting being done in the fall for
spring blooming? Last season I had

good results from 100 pounds of pul-
verized sheep manure and 100 pounds of
bone meal scattered in the row, har-
rowing them in before sowing the seed.
I used this amount in an 800-foot row.
Is this enough fertilizer to grow good
sweet peas? In the spring I top-dressed
the row with 100 pounds of sheep ma-
nure. What kind of bone meal is best
to use for this purpose, dissolved or
raw ground bone? Also, how much
bone meal will the peas stand without
being affected? W. R. D.—Pa.

You can safely use 500 pounds of
sheep manure in the drills for a row 800
feet long, if it is well harrowed in, and:
150 pounds of fine, raw ground bone.
For a top-dressing I would use only the
sheep manure. Spread it eighteen
inches on each side of the drill and
work in with a hoe or cultivator. A
moderate top-dressing would be given
with 250 pounds, but double the amount
would be even better. Sweet peas root
deeply and, therefore, the deeper down
you can work some of the sheep ma-
nure, the better results you will have.

Cc. W.

MILDEW ON SWEET PEAS.

Enclosed you will find some leaves
from sweet pea plants. The white sub-
stance on the leaves, I think, is mildew.
It appeared on some of the plants about
four weeks ago. It seems to check
their growth and it now seems to be
spreading all over the plants. Can you
give me a remedy for this?

M. M. 8.—Il.

It will be a difficult matter to get
rid of mildew when it is present in so
virulent a form. The usual cause is
cold drafts, but careless spraying, par-
ticularly on dull days, and allowing the
plants to remain wet over night, will
pave the way for it. Use greater care
in ventilation. Keep a drier atmosphere
and a more even temperature. Spray
your plants with Fungine, one quart to
twelve and one-half gallons of water,
or you could, if preferred, dust them —
with flowers of sulphur. Cc. W.

Cyclamens.

Do not keep the cyclamens as warm
as the begonias; 50 degrees at night is
ample and even now, in the hottest
part of the day, a little shade is bene-
ficial. Let this be a removable shade,
as a permanent one will only have a
tendency to draw up the plants. The
red varieties are the best sellers for
Christmas. Give these a light bench,
merely breaking the sun a little from
1l a. m. to 3 p. m. By the early part
of November no further shading should
be necessary in the northern states.

Plants wanted for spring flowering
must be kept cool; 40 degrees at night
is all they need in winter and in such a
temperature-the plants are much stock-
ier than when grown warmer.

Do not overlook the little seedlings
coming on for next season. If they are

still in the seed flats, keep the surface
soil pointed over. As soon as the
plants have made their second leaf it
is time to prick off into flats contain-
ing a light, sandy soil. Use plenty of
leaf-mold and a smaller proportion of
loam. Do not use any manure at this
first shift unless it be old and much
decayed, such as will crumble up in the
hand. These small cyclamens should
have a shelf in a house kept at 60 de-
grees at night for some months yet.

Cinerarias and Calceolarias.

Now that we have cool nights,
cinerarias and calceolarias are making
rapid headway. Look them over from
time to time and keep them potted
along before the roots become at all
matted. Use a light but rich compost.
The cinerarias need stronger soil than

the calceolarias, but both want as cool
treatment as possible. While mums and
other plants crowd the houses, there is
no need to move phem from the cold-
frames. If they have a good layer of
coal ashes below them to exclude
worms and the frame is tight, they
can easily be kept without fire heat
until December, using matchboard shut-
ters and mats, of course, on frosty
nights.
Early Bougainvilleas.

Where some bougainvilleas are want-
ed in flower early and the: plants have
been kept tolerably dry for some weeks,
they can be placed in a warmer house,
62 to 65 degrees at night, freely
syringed and given a light location.
It will not pay to start too many plants
now, as the major portion sell better
for Easter.

Hydrangeas.

We have had an open fall so far and
quite tender plants are blooming early
in November. A cold snap is likely
to come at any time and it will not pay
to take any chances on plants of at all
a tender nature after this time. Hy-
drangeas will withstand quite a little
frost if they are fairly dry at the roots

favor and the demand has increased-

greatly in the last three years, They
are impatient of heat and must never
be subjected to warm treatment, except
it may be when they are making their
growth. For Christmas they are ex-
cellent sellers and growers should aim
to flower as“many as possible at that
time. If the buds seem.a little back-
ward, move them into a slightly warm-
er house,: but not oyer 50 degrees at
night. Spray once }a day in clear
weather. This helps to swell the buds
and keep the foliage clean, but spray
no more once flowers are a

Half Hardy Perennials.

There are some varieties of peren-
nials which are quite hardy in the
warmer states, but doubtfully so farther
north. Much depends on the nature of
the soil they are growing in and their
location. ‘Anemone Japonica, knip-
hofias, rehmannias, incarvilleas, pom-
pon chrysanthemums and a few other
varieties may winter in light, well
drained soil if well mulched, but in
heavy soil the majority would probably
die. It is safer, therefore, to lift and
store these in a cellar or coldframe be-
fore freezing weather arrives. Helian-
thus multiflorus plenus is another sub-

and the wood is firm and well matured,
but if the foliage is still dark green
they are easily damaged. After this
date they should be stored in cold-
frames, pulling the sashes over them
on cold nights and during rainy spells.
Keep the plants tolerably dry, to assist
in ripening the wood, and give all pos-
sible sun8hine. The French varieties
are more tender than Otaksa and must
be kept a little warmer than that vari-
ety.

Mahernia Odorata.

Mahernia odorata, the small yellow-
flowering plant, has a most delightful
odor and is sometimes seen well grown
at small country establishments. It is
easily propagated and is certainly a
good seller. To have plants in the best
condition, it should have a eool green-
house, and I find the best way to get
shapely plants is to tie the shoots over
a small wire frame and suspend them
from the roof. This is an old-fashioned
plant, but it is just this kind of plant
that many people are asking for today.

Camellias.
Camellias are steadily growing in

ject of doubtful hardiness which it is
safer to store. Any perennial seedlings
which may be classed as at all tender
should be placed in coldframes. Can-
terbury bells, sweet williams, foxgloves,
etc., will withstand severe weather if
they have a mulch of dry leaves which
can be held in position, but in many
places it is safer to winter these in
frames. Now is the time to do any of
this work.

Buddleia Asiatica.

In order to have Buddleia Asiatica,
commonly called the white winter lilac,
in flower at Christmas, the plants must
be placed in a temperature of 55 de-
grees at night. This makes a nice ad-
dition to the list of holiday plants.
Red is the color much sought after at
that season, but this buddleia is still
a comparative novelty and should sell
well. Like all buddleias, it is of easy
propagation, and from cuttings rooted
as late as June nice plants in 6-inch
pots may be had for Christmas.

Speaking of buddleias reminds us
that now is a suitable time to get in
a good batch of cuttings of the various
forms of B. variabilis, such as mag-

nifica, superba, Veitchiana, etc. Quan-
tities of suitable cuttings are now ob-
tainable and these will be well rooted
in a fortnight in a warm propagating
bench.

That little habit we have of uncon-
sciously hitching a certain thought with
other thoughts is what the psychologist
fondly terms the association of ideas.
This mental process is said to occur in
the mind of everyone, woman, man or
child. -For instance, what child can

think- of Christmas without an immedi-.

ate afterthought of Santa Claus?
This scientific fact, the omnipresent
association of ideas, is one of the prin-
cipal weapons of the advertising man.
It is that intangible factor of adver-
tising which has made our great com-
mercial institutions. Advertising men
have used the association of ideas in
training American minds to instantly
associate certain articles with the names
of the manufacturers and the trade-
marks of the articles. Then when one
goes to the store to buy soda crackers
one unconsciously says’ Uneeda.

Getting Down to Brass Tacks.

In the florists’ business there is one
form of advertising in which the flo-
rists seem to act in disregard of this
fundamental law of advertising, the as-
sociation of ideas. Hundreds of florists
every year participate in parades by
entering decorated floats. In most cases
these floats are automobiles or wagons
expensively bedecked with flowers. In
thinking of flowers, one woman will
have afterthoughts of sweet odors, an-
other will recall her flower garden of
last summer and a third probably will
think of her wedding day, when there
were hundreds of flowers. Therefore it
logically follows that if flowers do not
represent the florists’ business they do
not advertise the business, at least not
on a trade float.

As large sums of money are spent in
this form of inefficient advertising, it
is gratifying to note that several florists
are getting into line and designing
trade floats that toe the mark from an
advertising standpoint. The latest and
best that has come to the attention of
The Review is the recent trade float
of Gullett & Sons, of Lincoln, Ill. The
float is illustrated herewith.

Bight-Cylinder Advertising.

As can be seen in the illustration, the
float of Gullett & Sons consisted of
a display of flowers and plants within a
miniature greenhouse mounted on a
large truck. The greenhouse was 15x17
and constructed true in every detail.
The interior of the small house was
electrically lighted. Two boys went
about the duties of a florist in the min-
iature greenhouse, potting and watering

This float was a splendid advertise-
ment for Gullett & Sons. It unmistak-
ably and immediately informed the
spectators that Gullett & Sons were

florists, growers and sellers of flowers. |

SEASONABLE NOTES.

Cattleya Percivaliana.

Cattieya Percivaliana immediately
follows C. labiata and pays well if it
can be flowered before C. Trianz
comes into season. Owing to its small-
er size, it is handicapped when placed
in competition with labiata or Triane.
C. Percivaliana is a good grower and
blooms with great freedom. In order
to secure as many flowers as possible
for the holidays, give the plants a nice,
light position and a few degrees higher
temperature. It is possible to get $4
and $5 per dozen at wholesale for this
cattleya_at Christmas; C. Triane makes
$9 to $12, but Percivaliana pays better
than Triane, even if these prices can
be had. Every grower needing a con-
stant supply of cattleyas should try a
few of this variety.

Cattleya Bowringeana.

Many of the flowers of Cattleya
Bowringeana are now passing. It is
one of the small-flowered varieties.
The plant is a robust grower, the bulbs
being of the long, slender type. It is
a more desirable variety to use for
table centerpieces than any of the
large-flowered ones. It can be cut with
a longer stalk. As a rule, ten to
twenty-five flowers are carried to the
sheath. On one occasion forty-seven
flowers have been produced and I have
a@ vivid remembrance of one grand old
plant which produced 600 to 800 flow-
ers annually. This is not one of the
standard commercial cattleyas. It is
rarely or never seen in the flower mar-
kets. It is more decorative than any
other cattleya, is a good grower and
worthy of culture. Bowringeana is not
imported so heavily as other sorts, but
can usually be had in an established or
seml-established state. One good thing
about it is that when given a good, ele-
vated location with plenty of light, it
will improve from year to year and
not run out, as do other varieties.

Robert Sanderson, one of the employees
at the greenhouses, It was entered in
the industrial parade recently held at
Lincoln and won the first prize of $25.
The judges of the floats must have been
unusually capable men, for they judged
from an advertising standpoint as well
as from the standpoints of ingenuity
and originality of design.

The prize and bouquets are due Gul-
lett & Sons. Every florist who follows

‘in their footsteps can: charge. the ex-

pense. up to advertising with a clear

CHIDS

Cattleya Portia.

Cattleya Portia is a hybrid cattleya
and is a remarkably good grower. It
is a cross between C. labiata and C.
Bowringeana, two full-flowering varie-
ties, but it flowers a little later than
these varieties.
at its best for Christmas. The flowers
on good plants are as large as those of
C.’ Percivaliana and are of a much
better color, carried six to ten on a
stalk, and held up well. This hybrid is
now fairly common, and those wanting

a first-class and easily grown cattleya -
“would do well to try one or two plants.

Cattleya Triane.

Cattleya Triane is the florists’ cat-
tleya par excellence. Its flowering sea-
son extends from December until the
end of March, at which time Schre-
dere arrives. It is an inexpensive cat-
tleya to buy compared with labiata,
and everyone handling orchids should
grow more of Trianew than any other
variety. The growths are completed
and the sheaths well made up on the
plants. Never shade this cattleya

heavily, or the plants will bloom disap-
pointingly. Big bulbs sometimes will
carry only one or two flowers, but if
the plants had been grown tougher by
exposure to stronger light, four to five
flowers would be common to the sheath.
It will pay to remove a few of the
plants with sheaths most advanced to
a warmer house. If they can be opened
for the holidays there will be greater
financial returns. These cattleyas, in
common with all others not in flower,
will be benefited by a light spraying on
all clear, sunny days.

Dendrobiums.

D. Phalenopsis Schrederianum and
D. formosum giganteum are splendid
fall bloomers. The first named makes
long, graceful spikes; the latter carries
large, pure white flowers, almost equal
to cattleyas in size and sometimes sell-
ing almost as high. Each of these va-
rieties needs a brisk, moist heat dur-
ing the growing season, but, as the
flowers expand, it is’ best to move them
to cooler and drier places. For anyone
who can give it the necessary heat, D.
formosum is a.productive and _profit-
able variety, sometimes carrying
twelve, occasionally more, flowers per
bulb.

D. Wardianum and many of D.
nobile and its hybrids should now be
resting in a cooler and drier house. Al-
ready nodes are showing on some
pseudo-bulbs of D. Wardianum. These
will require little water from now until
the nodes are well advanced, but can
be given an occasional spraying.

A REAL RED VERNON.

For ten years E, A. Groman and
R. E. Groman, who do business at
Saginaw, Mich., as Groman the Florist,
have been selecting and reselecting their
strain of Begonia Vernon until they
have a stock of a real red type, with
bronze foliage when grown outdoors,
which they are confident will come true
from seed; they say they have not had
one come pink or white in five years.
Visiting florists this summer have com-
mented on a bed of it on the lawn, as

- shown in the accompanying illustration,

which has been in fine flower all season,
from July 1. The plants were about
a foot high when the photograph was
made.

GOOD COMMERCIAL VARIETIES.

Please tell me what varieties of
chrysanthemums are best for commer-
cial use, as I intend to grow them for
the market only. Mention the best
early, midseason and late sorts, in
white, yellow and pink. F, C.—Ind.

I can answer your question in no

better way than by giving you a list
of the varieties we are growing. We
grow for commercial purposes entirely
and confine ourselves to varieties which
make what is known as commercial
blooms. Here they are, and they bloom
in rotation as named:

White — Smith’s Advance, Early
Frost, Arlette Dubois, Alice Salomon,
Mrs. Chas. Rager, Lynnwood Hall,
White Dean and W. H. Chadwick. Yel-
low—Golden Glow, Comoleta, Chryso-
lora, Robt.Halliday, Lena Baum (Yel-
low Rager), Major..Bonnaffon, Dolly
Dimple and Nagoya. Pink—Unaka, Fe-
dora, Chieftain, Mayor Weaver and
Maud Dean.

Wm. Turner is a large white, really.

better for exhibition than for com-
mercial purposes. This is also true of
the yellow Nakota and the pink El-
beron. They must be grown into fancy
blooms, to be of value. A. F. J. B.

CARE CF STOCK PLANTS.

I wish to ask you a few questions
about chrysanthemum stock plants. We
have some plants that were grown in
the field and were lifted and potted
about the end of August. We have sold
most of them, but have some left which
did not become nice and bushy and we
wish to keep them for stock. Would
these stock plants do well if put in a
_ coldframe until about the middle of

January? Or, when do you think would ©

be the best time to bring them into a
temperature of about 45 degrees, to get
cuttings from them? These plants have
been allowed to grow in their natural
way, making many branches. Would it
be advisable to wait until they have
finished blooming before cutting off
their branches? After bringing them
into a temperature of 45 degrees, I
think it would be best to take them
out of the pots and plant them on the
bench, so as to give them more vigor
and a chance to make new roots and
make better cuttings. Would this cold-
frame treatment also be good for stock
plants of single-stem mums, most of
which we wish to propagate in March
or early in April? A. L.—Mo.

The stock plants will be all right if
put in a coldframe, and lifted in the
middle of January or whenever you
wish to commence propagating. It
would be well to cut off the branches
that are blooming, in order to throw
all the strength into the cuttings, unless
the flowers happen to be worth money,
in which case it may be worth while
first to get all the flowers you can.
When they are brought. into the house,
if space is available, it would be bet-

ter to take the plants out of the pots*
or whatever they are growing in and
plant them in the bench, as they will
then make stronger and more healthy
cuttings. Coldframe treatment is also
good for the single-stem mums. In
fact, any type of mum will come
through well if handled in this manner.
Chas. H. Totty.

GREEN FLY IN MUM HOUSE.

Please tell me what is the best way
to kill green fly on chrysanthemums.
I have tried many different remedies in
my greenhouse and cannot banish the
pest. I have used boiled tobacco-leaf
juice, slaked lime and hellebore, but
none of these does any good.

G. S.—N. Y.

The only sure way to kill green fly
on chrysanthemums in a house is to
fumigate with tobacco powder or nico-
tine extract, but the tobacco powder
is the cheaper. Make little heaps of the
powder on the ground, put just a little
kerosene on ;top and light it; this will
insure the perfect combustion -of the
tobacco dust, which will burn slowly
the greater part of the night. Of course
the house must be tightly closed to get
the best results, and the fumigating
must be done after the sun goes down.
As to the proportion, it varies, of course,
with the style of the house. A pail of
tobacco dust, for instance, divided into’
heaps, will be ample for a house 100
feet long and eighteen to twenty-four
feet wide.

Nicotine papers are excellent and the
proportion to use is given on the cans,
but these papers are more expensive
than the powder and the latter is just as
effective. Chas. H. Totty.

GOOD DWARF VARIETIES.

Do you know of a few varieties of
dwarf-growing chrysanthemums that
would not grow much more than one to
two feet tall and about one to two feet
in diameter, if left growing in their
natural way, or if they received a few
pinchings as evenly as possible on top?
We would want the flowers to be about
one to three inches in size. As to the
colors, we want white, yellow, pink, and
a reddish color if there is any. Please
let me know about a few varieties of
each color, as the stock plants we have
left would not give us enough young
plants to meet next year’s sales. These
varieties are wanted in bloom about
the middle of October. A. L.—Mo.

For dwarf-growing varieties, there is
nothing better in the world than the
Caprice mums, which come in all colors
—Butler’s Caprice, Caprice du Prin-
temps, Lilac Cap, Mrs. Greening, Pur-
ple Cap, White Cap and Yellow Cap.
Some of the early-flowering types that
would be fine for this purpose are:
Cranfordia, Etoile d’Or and Carrie in
yellow; A. Barham, Billancourt, Luci-
fer and Firelight in bronze and crim-
son; Marie Dufour, Debutante and
Cranford White in white; Hortense Mal-
gat, Cranford Pink and Miss Burchfell
in pink. All of the foregoing are first-
class and they embrace all the colors
known in chrysanthemums.

WILSON’S COAL BLACK MASCOT.

Do you believe in luck? No? Well,
we concede that most luck follows work
of the same degree and kind, but J. J.
Wilson, president of the company at
Newark, N. J., that bears his name is
so fond of his ‘‘mascot’’ that he is
willing to accord it all the proverbial
powers to influence one’s fortunes that
go with a coal black pussy. You can
see Mr. Wilson and the cat in the pic-
ture. The feline first crossed his path
when days were dark and customers
scarce, but that good luck has come in
the form of a fairly steady stream of
buyers is shown by the footprints in

THE CHICAGO FLOWER GROWERS.

In moving into its new quarters in
the Le Moyne building, the Chicago
Flower Growers’ Association is, in a
way, celebrating the success of a rather
unique business venture in the florists’
trade—a cooperative association of a
large number of growers for the pur-
pose of maintaining a general commis-
sion business as well as selling their
own products. The accompanying illus-
tration shows the present officers and

directors of the association. They are:

portant asset is 3,000 chrysanthemums,
which must be grown on for market

by the receiver, as Mr. Kleinhans has
left Easton.

NEW YORK.

The Market.

Last week was not a satisfactory one.
Shipments were heavy, especially of
chrysanthemums and roses, and prices
fell below the average of the preceding
week. Saturday’s trade was only or-
dinary, the demand being light notwith-
standing football requirements, and
there was much left-over stock with
which to begin the present week. Im-
provement from now on is expected.
The big game November 13 between
Yale and Princeton should clean up
all the accumulations of yellow mums
and violets.

Chrysanthemums certainly are abund-
ant. Every wholesaler has his iceboxes
and windows full of them. The flood
is seemingly at high tide. The re-
ceipts of outdoor mums are enormous.
Of the selected flowers too much can-
not be said in their praise; they are
equal to those of any year, and worth
far more than they bring.

Carnation shipments are increasing
daily. Last week it was hard to get
over $2 per hundred for them, although
ay few Matchless and specials touched
$3. If prices remain steady during the
next few weeks it is all that can be
expected. Quality is rapidly improving,
but until the mums have vanished there
can be little if any rise.

Roses are in overwhelming supply,
and prices are lower than a week ago.
These, too, must wait for the passing of
the mums. Some of the new roses are
superb. Prima Donna seems to be a
wonderful acquisition. Orchids are look-
ing up and choice cattleyas touched 50
cents November 6. Longiflorums do not

, move above $6 per hundred, nor Valley

above $3. Gardenias have risen to $3
and $4 per dozen for perfect flowers

and more are needed to meet the demand.
Violets are said to be coming back to
their old-time popularity, but 40 cents
was top figure last week. Again we
have sweet peas and daisies with us,
also callas and bouvardias.

Club Meeting.

The meeting of the Florists’ Club
November 8 was well attended. Chair-
man Miller, for the flower show com-
mittee, reported encouraging progress
and urged the attention of the mem-
bers to the subscriptions to the special
prize fund. F. R. Pierson read the
final report on the show of 1915, show-
ing receipts of $33,000, with a final
surplus of $2,297.44 placed to the club’s
credit.

Resolutions were read on the death
of Lawrence W. Kervan and a com-
mittee appointed to draft resolutions on
the death of Edward Walz.

J. W. Henshaw announced a total of
thirteen reservations for the Cleveland
show this week, including himself and
Messrs. May, Totty, Duckham, Dick,
Guttman, Lewis, Marshall, Reuter,

CUCUMBERS FAIL TO DEVELOP.

average about seven feet in height and
are growing nicely, but the cucumbers
fail to make any growth after blos-
soming. They are all hand-pollinated.
I used a mulch of about five inches of

manure and notice that the roots are

working through the manure nicely. Is
it advisable to water them lightly every
day and is it necessary to spray the
vines every day? In a bed five feet wide
I have five 4-inch tiles lengthwise of
the bed, with about five inches of soil
on them. Is this sufficient drainage?
If the bed is kept too moist, will the
cucumbers fail to develop?
E. C. S.—TIl.

Your mulch, five inches thick, is far
too heavy. You probably have rich soil
and the additional mulch is more than
even cucumbers can digest, particu-
larly at this season, when solar heat
and light are steadily declining. Your
drainage should be ample. Cucumbers
need a moist heat, with a night tem-
perature of 65 degrees at this season
and a corresponding rise in the day-
time. It is not necessary or advisable
to spray except on clear days, nor is
it wise to water a little daily. These
constant dribblings keep the top moist,
but if you examine a few inches below
the surface, you will probably find the
soil quite dry. When you do water
them, give a soaking which will wet
the whole border well. Wait until this
dries out moderately, then soak again.
I think you are giving too much mulch
and are not wetting your border suffi-
ciently. If the mulch is full of active
roots, it is not advisable to remove it,
but remember it will need a good deal
of water to soak through both this and
the soil below it. Hereafter, I would
advise you not to mulch until the fruit
is setting and then use only half the
thickness of manure. C. W.

MINNEAPOLIS, MINN.

The Market.

Stock of all kinds is becoming more
plentiful and prices are regulated ac-
cordingly. Chrysanthemums are cer-
tainly the favorite flower of the flower-
loving Minneapolitans, as there is a
constant demand for them. They are
bringing from $1 to $3 per dozen. Car-
nations are abundant and the market is
decidedly overstocked with them, due
to the popularity of chrysanthemums.
Carnations of the best quality are sell-
ing for from $2 to $3 per hundred. Roses
of good quality are in demand, bringing
from $3 to $6 per hundred. Violets are
beginning to come into the market,
bringing from 75 cents to $1 per hun-
dred. Christmas plants are making a
fine headway, and the growers are an-
ticipating some fine stock to supply the
demand.

Various Notes.

W. H. Bofferding cleaned up entirely
on his bulbs this year and reports a
Satisfactory seed trade for the passing
Season. Although the seed business is

Practically over, he is kept busy filling

numerous party and wedding orders in
the flower department.

The La Crosse Floral Co., of La
Crosse, Wis., is sending into this mar-
ket some extra choice chrysanthemums
and its William Turner are on display
in the downtown stores.

The silver loving cup, which was won
by the Minneapolis Florists’ Club in
competition with the St. Paul Florists’
Club at the last Minnesota state fair,
is at present on exhibition at Oscar E.
Amundson’s store.

O. C. Swanson is sending in some
fine violets from his greenhouses at
Lake Minnetonka.

William Desmond left to attend the
fall flower show: at Chicago this week.

Mr. Ruedlinger, the landscape archi-
tect, has received several large orders
recently.

The growers in general are complain-
ing about the condition of bulbs on
arrival, a large percentage of them be-
ing overheated during transit. Sev-
eral concerns estimate their loss to be
quite heavy.

H. Rosacker will add two more large
greenhouses to his establishment, for
roses. A small house will be erected
for potted plants.

The azaleas and palms which are ar-
riving from Belgium are in excellent
condition and the growers are well sat-
isfied. The Minneapolis Floral Co. re-
ceived three carloads of palms and
azaleas and all arrived in good condi-
tion.

Cal Rice, in company with J. R. Van
Bochove, of Kalamazoo, Mich., will
leave soon for northern Minnesota to
hunt moose and other big game.

The florists’ supply business for
October was far ahead of that for 1914,
according to A. Rice, of Rice Bros.

Mrs. Hugo Will met with a severe
accident the morning of November 1
at the Y. W. C. A. swimming pool. She
slipped on the tile floor and fell on her
wrist, breaking it in many places. When
taken to the hospital she was uncon-
scious.

Superintendent Theodore Wirth, of
the park board, is now busy with a
force of about twenty-five men plant-
ing shrubbery and evergreens around
the several lakes.

The park board greenhouses are now
advertising their annual fall chrysan-
themum show, commencing November
7 and ending November 2]. The col-
lection consists of about 400 varieties,
all grown in pots. The greenhouses are
electric lighted and the public is in-
vited to visit them at night as well as
in the daytime.

The committee of the annual fall
flower show, to be held at the West
hotel, December 7 and 8 inclusive, has
its program well in hand, and is prom-
ised by the growers a bountiful display
of cut flowers and Christmas plants.

Among the visitors last week were
L. E. Metcalf, of the A. L. Randall
Co., Chicago; 8. K. Meyerhoff, of the
Pompeian Art Ware Co., Brooklyn, N.
Y., and Frank Farley, of the M. Rice
Co., Philadelphia. G. W. A.

Warren, O.—Last spring A. M. Camp-
bell erected a greenhouse 25x100 and
hung out his sign. Now there is ma-
terial on the ground for another house
of the same size and a third one is
scheduled to go up next spring. This
year Mr. Campbell places an exclama-
tion mark after big business!

OBITUARY

Dennis Dwyer.

Dennis Dwyer, of Brooklyn, N. Y., a
member of the firm of Dwyer Bros.,
formerly at 81 Summitt street, died
October 30 at the St. Anthony’s hos-
pital, Woodhaven, N. Y. The deceased
was born in Brooklyn and was a mem-
ber of the Church of St. Mary, Star of
the Sea. He is survived by two
brothers.

George Gartner.

George Gartner, aged 85 years, one
of the oldest florists of Lancaster, Pa.,
died at his home on East Strawberry
street, November 5. The deceased had
been in failing health for a number of
years, suffering with a complication of
diseases, but his condition only became
serious a few weeks ago.

Mr. Gartner wus a veteran of the
Civil war, having served an enlistment
in Company B, Seventy-fifth regiment,
Pennsylvania infantry. He igs survived
by one son, George E., of Lancaster,
and three daughters: Mrs. J. W.
Hopkins, of Dallas, Tex.; Mrs. Ben-
jamin Zeizert, of Lancaster; Mrs. W. H.
Hartman, of Elizabethtown. He also is
survived by eight grandchildren and
one great-grandchild.

Interment took place November 9 at
St. Joseph’s cemetery. H. K. R.

Marvin L. Barrett.

Marvin L. Barrett, 24 years of age, a
clerk in the store of Van Bochove &
Bro., Kalamazoo, Mich., died suddenly
October 30 as he was waiting on a cus-
tomer. Mr. Barrett had complained to
members of his family of severe pains
in the region of his heart for several
days. Death was due to heart failure.
He is survived by his mother, two sis-
ters and five brothers.

John Lamb.

John Lamb, 74 years of age, for
twenty years grower of roses at the
John M. May greenhouses, at Summit,
N. J., died at his home on Prince Grove
avenue, Summit, November 4. He came
to this country from Ireland about forty
years ago. He is survived by ten chil-
dren. R. B. M.

Syracuse, N. Y.—Members of the
Syracuse Rose Society soon will start
a campaign to double the membership
of their organization. The effort will
be preliminary to welcoming the larg-
est and most important gathering of
“ose growers ever held in this section.
he meeting, according to E. FE. Mill,
president of the local society, will take
place in June, 1916, and it is probable
that Admiral and Mrs. Aaron Ward,
of England, will attend.

Richland, N. J.—On the old state
road® the favorite speedway for auto-
ists to and from Atlantic City, are
the Wayside Dahlia Gardens, owned by
Mrs. May Hallett. Every summer hun-
dreds of autoists are treated to the
unusual spectacle of thousands of
dahlias of many varieties and colors.
So pleasing is the sight that many
must stop and buy Mrs. Hallett’s flow-
ers. Last summer was a most pros-
perous one for Mrs. Hallett and many
improvements and additions to the
gardens are planned for 1916.

Results bring advertising.
The Review brings results.

STRANGE so many of the lady florists
have monogrammed personal stationery
and no printed business letter-heads.

THE growers and buyers of quality
stock all agree there is nothing to com-
pare with William Turner chrysanthe-
mum. Stock plants will be in request.

THE Michigan red berries should sell
well this season, for we are told most of
the holly will need some assistance. to
get by with the buyers who don’t get
their wreaths from the grocer.

CONSIDERING general business condi-
tions, 1915 has seen a rather large
amount of greenhouse building and indi-
cations now are that 1916 will be a big
building year.

THE Federal Horticultural Board rules
that palms are included in the term
‘‘nursery stock’’ and that, consequently,
permits are required when kentias, etc.,
are to be imported from any European
country.

Curious how many people, sending
apparently simple and reasonable inquir-
ies, take such apparent pains to remove
every mark by which their identity can
be traced. Anonymous inquiries can not
be answered.

THERE will be no scarcity of azaleas
this season; indeed, the arrival of so
large a percentage of the usual impor-
tations after they had been given up as
hopeless has resulted in overcrowding
many an establishment, as other stock
had been arranged for.

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:

TWO YEARS.

Evergreen Nursery Co., Ft. Myers, Fla.
Rieman, C. A., mnersville, Ind.
Sakata, T., Rokkakubashi, Japan.
Burton, Alfred, Philadelphia, Pa.

Mass, R. B., Vinita, Okla.

Van Name, F. M., Fishers Island, N. Y,.

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 are sent.

PREMIUM PREFERENCES.

Curiously, the regular exhibitors at
flower shows indicate a preference for
cash premiums instead of cups and med-
als of even value. One can appreciate
that a grower selling only through a
commission house, after he had won
enough silverware so that the novelty
was gone, might prefer cash to trophies,
but for a retailer the possession of an
ornate silver mug would appear to have
several times the value of its cost in
cash. One could not put currency in
the window, with a green velvet drape,
and exploit its winning for best bride’s
bouquet—but one would be neglecting
golden opportunities if he did not make
such use of a silver cup. The number
of retailers who have exhibited and
won cups is not large enough so that
such advertising use of the trophies
has lost its novelty.

So long as a considerable proportion
of the premiums of our shows are pro-
vided by subscription, silver cups will
be offered in numbers. Many a man
who declines to give cash will donate
a cup, because he can inscribe his name
on it and feels he is getting a return
in permanent advertising he could not
get with any other donation.

BUSINESS IS BOOMING.

In the fifteen months since war broke

out in Europe the business of florists
has been at least as good, on the av-
erage, as the business in any other line.
Therefore it is reasonable to suppose
the business of florists will boom as
other lines boom. Consequently there
is trade interest in these words by the
president of Chicago’s largest bank:.
- **At a meting of our board of direc-
ters.a few days ago I was impressed
with the statements made. In the mem-
bership of .thirty-five there are repre-
sentatives of the largest industries in
the west. The presidents of the rail-
roads spoke of the marked increase in
traffic which has developed in the last
few weeks. The significant thing
about this increase in traffic is that it
is largely of the package variety. This
seems. to indicate that merchants and
others have cleaned up supplies on hand
and that the current orders which have
brought about enlarged traffic go back
to the factories. ,

‘A representative of the largest lum-
ber concern in the west said there was
a new cash demand for lumber in the
Mississippi valley region and that prices
have advanced $4 and $5 a thousand
feet. Northwestern bankers say of the
wheat movement that the unusual de-
velopment is the demand of millers for

grain. It is being. ground and shipped

as flour. In the business of the bank
directly there is now trustworthy: evi-
dence of substantial--activity, and it
all shows that the present talk of in-
crease in business is not merely an ex-
pression of a wish, buta statement of
conditions.’’

THIS WEEK’S COVER.

When The Review prints the picture’
of a pretty girl on its Special Number
covers there are sure ‘fc be inquiries
as to the fair one’s identity. Usually
it is possible to reply \with truth that
the editor does not knows but this time
so many will recogmze Miss Lillian
Walker, sometimes known as Queen of
the Movies, that it mjay as well be
stated that the photograph was made
in the greenkouses of R P, Atwell, the
well known florist at Fort Dodge, Ia.,
on the occasion of one of! Miss Walker’s
visits there to admire~the chrysanthe-
mums.

BELGIANS DESERVE CREDIT.

Last week we received from Belgium
458 packages of azaleas, etc., per steam-
ers Ryndani and Oosterdyk. This week
we received 666 packages more per S. 8.
Martensdyk and Rotterdam. This list
excludes shipments of Holland origin.

When we consider the position of the
Belgian growers, the difficulties of get-
ting permits to ship, first. from the Brit-
ish and then from the German authori-
ties, the problem of getting transporta-
tion, etc., we conclude that the Belgian
growers deserve great credit for their
energy and resourcefulness.

' ° -MeHutchison & Co.

The reason small Classified ads in
The Review bring such good results is
that buyers have learned to consult
them when in need of stock. Of course
there are other ways of obtaining what
one wants, but nowhere is there any-
thing like so large a number of offers
—and buyers always go where the
greatest range for choice is afforded.
Then it works like this:

We are out of vincas, thanks to The Review
and its readers. You will hear from us again
as soon as we have anything to offer.—Chas.
Werner & Son, Shelbyville,-Ind., November 1,

York and Pennsylvania who would get
a new conception of the efficiency of
Classified ads if they,;would offer their
surplus in The-Review..

The Market.

Market conditions for the last week
have been controlled by freak weather

‘absolutely anomalous for the month of

November. The end of last week saw
nothing clearing satisfactorily but
valley. Quality of stock, however, was
excellent. Then came, November 7, a
day of unparalleled heat for this time
of -the year, a fact that. resulted in large
quantities of stock being rushed to the
market the beginning of this week. As
a result, prices are down and the de-
mand, though fully as lively as it
has been for two weeks, is unable to
handle all of the receipts. This condi-
tion, however, is by no means alarming
at this time of the year, for any hour
may bring a cold snap which will throw

Flower Show at our

Store This Week

T IS with no wish to disparage any public eX=

hibition that we call atten-
tion to the Flower Show at
our store (open to the trade only)
this week-=-and every week.

QUALITY As for quality, retailers who know the flower

markets of the United States know there is
no finer stock than. ours; that it compares favorably with most of
the prize winning exhibits at the shows; indeed, that many of the
awards are won with stock purchased of us.

VA RIETY We have a full list of stock; everything that
is to be found in any wholesale house and
many things not to be found elsewhere.

QUANTITY Every day we handle as large a quantity

of cut flowers as one finds in any except
perhaps the very largest flower shows ever given in this country.
We can supply the goods.

Because of the fine weather, everything is in full
crop this week. We invite inspection—and orders.

Thanksgiving Orders

We are ready to book your orders for Thanksgiving.
You will need a lot of stock—and we can supply it.
We do not expect to have to advance prices, except
perhaps on Carnations. Plenty of fine Mums, Pom-
pons and fancy Peas. Glad to quote on your needs.

everything onto the short side of the
market.

Beauties are easily sufficient to meet
the present demand. Other varieties
of roses are in abundant supply, and
though of good color, much of the stock
received the beginning of the week was
somewhat open and not well suited for
shipping purposes. Quite fortunately,
there was enough excellent stock to
take care of the shipping tradé, which
formed by far the greater part of the
entire business.

The receipts of carnations are heavy
and there are reports of. job lot sales at
midsummer prices. The warm weather
caused many shipments to look sleepy
on their arrival. Both double and sin-
gle violets may be had in any quantity.
Valley has a penchant for the short
side of the market, and though not ac-
tually scarce at present, is so close to
it as to be watched with interest.
Sweet peas are in evidence, as are
daisies and mignonettes. Demand for
them, however, is altogether desultory.
There are enough cattleyas to supply
all wants.

Chrysanthemum receipts were unusu-
ally heavy the first of the week, but
unfortunately only a small part con-
sisted of the yellow varieties. Unfor-
tunate, as the demand for them far
exceeds that for the other colors. Pom-
pons and anemones are plentiful and
are moving slowly. If the cool wave
does not come soon most of the mums
and pompons will be forced onto the
market before Thanksgiving.

Easter lilies and rubrums are fully
equal to the demand, which is not in
any degree blatant.

Greens, with one exception, are also
abundant and move, or rather fail to
move, accordingly. Thé exception is
Asparagus plumosus sprays.

Baskets bring more
sales and added profit

More than ever before, baskets of flowers are given not only at be-
Soele, weddings, receptions and other functions, but as ordinary
gifts.

People unable to purchase the very expensive blooms are now seeking
variety by purchasing cleverly filled baskets—though at greater cost.

Wise is the florist who caters to the whims of the public—and fat
grow his money-bags.

Various Notes.

Already there are indications that
Schiller’s advent in the loop will do
much to add to the factor widely known
as the life of trade. To avoid confusion,
it should be clearly stated that the
store Schiller acquired is the one at 36
South Wabash avenue recently opened
by William Lubliner, not the one at
41 South Wabash formerly conducted
by Lubliner & Trinz, where George
Wienhoeber now does a prosperous busi-
ness. Around the corner on Monroe
street are the stores of Mangel and
Bohannon, while in the other direction,
on Madison street, is ‘Lange.

There are too many kinds of pompon
and single chrysanthemums, according
to N. J. Wietor, who predicts growers
will realize better average returns by
cutting the list down to a few of the
better sorts, just as has been done with
carnations.

A new delivery auto, with body in
purple and gold, brings the name of
H. N. Bruns to the attention of west-
siders.

The E. C. Amling Co. comments on
the number of trade visitors early this
week as greater than usual during the
opening days of a show.

Miss Ida Evert has made her annual
appearance on the market, at 56 East
Randolph street, selling the stock of
her brother, John Evert, who grows
midseason and late mums in large quan-
tities. Miss Evert’s return always is
looked for by the buyers who remem-
ber her supplies of White Enguehard,
on which John Evert has had a
monopoly for four seasons. Golden
Dome is another fine but little seen va-
riety he grows in quantity.

An important addition to the glass
of the Stielow establishment at Niles
Center will be made this season.

the last few years, it will be of interest
to note that last week there were 220
names on the payroll of the A. L. Ran-

Benora is a carnation little seen in

noted, however, that he made his first
shipment of it this season November 5.

The warm weather has been pushing

familiar with conditions in the grow-
ers’ section around Peter Reinberg’s,
tells him the supply for Thanksgiving
is likely to be the lightest in years.

John P. Degnan, of Winterson’s Seed
Store, says that never in his lifetime
experience in the business have Dutch
bulbs been so thoroughly cleaned up at
this date.

Some of the local growers have not
yet received their azaleas, although
most of them are in. Frank Oechslin’s
force is busy potting up their lot, which
arrived a few days ago.

At Mt. Greenwood cemetery one sees
probably the largest batch of Cypripe-
dium insigne to be found in this part of
the country. Mr. Rudd expects them to
be in good crop for Thanksgiving.

Burglars broke into the store of Fred
Fischer, 2737 North Clark street, a few
nights ago, but aside from taking some
small change left in the cash drawer,
they did no harm.

A new Overland delivery car now
adds much to the service afforded to
his patrons by William H. Hilton, 1509
East Fifty-third street.

A splendid cut of Bonnaffon chrys-
anthemums is being sent by George
Bayer, of Toledo, to the Kennicott

is little variation from year to year in
the quality of stock received from Mr.
Bayer.

Club Meeting.

The Pittsburgh Florists’ and Garden-
ers’ Club met Tuesday evening, Novem-
ber 2, in the Dutch room of the Fort
Pitt hotel. There was a large attend-
ance and the meeting was most enthusi-
astic.

The subject for the evening was
chrysanthemums and there was a splen-
did display of blooms. The general
opinion was that it was by far the
finest lot ever exhibited in this city.
The greatest interest was shown when
two lots of Wm. Turner, grown by
Manus Curran and Herman Rapp, were
up for judgment. They were the finest
ever shown here and the decision went
to Manus Curran, gardener for Mrs.
Elizabeth Horne, though the decision
was nothing to the discredit of Mr,
Rapp. Messrs. Curran and Rapp also
exhibited a number of other varieties,
all of magnificent quality. Mr. Rapp
is gardener for David F. Watson.

John Jones, gardener at Schenley
park, showed fine flowers in several va-
rieties, including a splendid vase of
Mrs. Gilbert Drabble, in which the in-
dividual flowers were not only large,
but well done and shapely, with strong

stems and with foliage well up to the
flowers. This vase of blooms seemed to
sustain Mr. Jones’ comment that ‘‘this
is the finest white in cultivation, the
aristocrat of all chrysanthemums.’’

James Moore, gardener at Phipps
Conservatory, in North Side park,
showed some splendid flowers. Though

grown right in the heart of the city,

they compared favorably with those

grown under much better conditions.
The Crissman Greenhouse Co., Punx-

sutawney, Pa., sent a collection of com- °

mercial varieties, such as the firm grows
regularly for its trade. These were ex-
cellent flowers, though small, of course,
compared with the giant blooms in the
show classes.

A. A. Leach, gardener for H. J.
Heinz, who has been conducting a show
for the public, had creditable flowers of
eleven different varieties.

Mr. Keeler, gardener for A. R. Pea-
cock, had one plant bearing small yel-
low flowers.

Henry A. Dreer, Inc., of Philadelphia,
sent nineteen pompon varieties, which
were grown outdoors and had stood two
frosts which killed cannas and dahlias.
It was a fine collection, all worthy of
a trial and all desirable in color either
for the private place or for indoor cul-
ture for more exacting patrons.

A number of those present signified
their intention of going to the Cleve-
land show. Among these were Messrs.
Curran, Murphy and Thompson, of Se-
wickley Heights; also Fred Burki, E. C.
Reineman, Carl Beckerer, E. C. Ludwig,
De Forest Ludwig and James Moore.‘
There will be others, as the intention
is to make up a party.

A. A. Leach and Walter Jordan were
elected to membership.

As William Falconer was not present
and it was learned that he was at home
celebrating his birthday, the club in-
structed President McCallum to go to
the telephone and extend to him the
congratulations and best wishes of the
club.
President McCallum then gave one of
his original and interesting talks on the
chrysanthemum, thus closing one of the
best meetings the club has ever held.

Various Notes.

As the time for the Cleveland show
approaches, interest seems to grow.
Among others who have decided to at-
tend, in addition to those mentioned
in a preceding part of this letter, are
Samuel McClements, T. P. Langhans,
G. P. Weaklen and Henry Heil.

PHILADELPHIA.

The Market.

Ice, sufficient to destroy the remain-
ing outdoor flowers, came on the night
of November 6, compelling the market
to depend on greenhouse-grown flowers
for the next five months. Despite this
fact, there is an oversupply of flowers
for the business, not an unusual condi-
tion for show time, but one that taxes
the ingenuity of the wholesalers to find
an outlet for the stock. There can be
no question as to the quality of much
that is offered. Any flowers not up to
the mark have little chance in the
crush. Even the finest flowers find it
difficult at times to realize value.

William Turner, the great white, is
probably the leading variety of chrys-
anthemum this week. Its magnificent
size, fine form and foliage and purity
make it an effective show sort; it is,
however, hardly satisfactory for ship-
ping. Yellow is the leading color;
Bonnaffon is the leading yellow. Pink
comes next in point of popularity. This
color is not so well represented. White,
which comes last, is splendidly repre-
sented by several good varieties and
is rather in oversupply. Pompons sell
moderately. The bronzes and pinks go
better than the yellows. Outdoor-
grown pompons are of little value now.
Roses and carnations have suffered de-
cidedly. They are good and cheap, the
standard varieties of roses being par-
ticularly so. Of the finer flowers, or-
chids are becoming scarce. Cattleya
labiata is nearly done; Cattleya Triane
is just beginning. Dendrobiums are
quite plentiful; oncidiums are not.
Violets are selling a little better. Cyp-
ripediums are coming in more freely.
Gardenias are scarce indeed. Valley

Current Events.

The membership committee of the
Florists’ Club, Leo Niessen, Fred Hah-
man and Fred Cowperthwaite, is ex-
pected to offer a resolution at the De-
cember meeting, reducing the initia-

tion fee for membership in the club
from $5 to $2. With the annual dues
of $3 this plan, if adopted, would make
the membership cost $5 for the first
year. Each member of the Florists’
Club is entitled to a season ticket for
the National Flawer Show, to be held
at Convention hall next spring. This
is an unusual inducement that should
bring every florist in the city under the

The office of the committee is on the
same floor as the large Chamber of
Commerce room, where meetings that
are too large for the committee office
can be held on brief notice, without
additional cost.

A home anniversary of first impor-
tance is offered as an excuse for fail-
ure to attend the lively meeting of the
Florists’ Club last week. This explains
an error which, for the moment, de-
prived Robert Craig of credit for the
victory he won for the ‘‘Street Sale
of Plants and Flowers,’’ over his re-
doubtable opponent, John Westcott.
Robert Craig handled his subject ad-
mirably, but the retailers insist that
they were outnumbered.

Germantown Society Show.

The annual chrysanthemum show of
the Germantown Horticultural Society
brought out a good attendance and
keen competition, on the afternoon and
evening of November 8. The show was
held in the Library building at Vernon
Park. The exhibitors were chiefly pri-
vate gardeners from the large sub-
urban places in the neighborhood. Most
of the exhibits were well-grown chrys-
anthemums in pots and cut. The
Wertsner silver cup, the chief prize of
the show, for twelve cut blooms in four
varieties, was won by I. Newton Kulp,
gardener to Miss J. G. Mason.

A lecture was given in the evening
by 8S. Mendelson Meehan on spruces,
firs, cedars and pines. The judges were
Chester Davis, Stephen Ager and J. G.
Scott.

The Market.

Chrysanthemums flooded the market
last week. Many of the growers say
they will soon be cleaned out, except
for a few yellow varieties for Thanks-
giving. White and yellow mums lead
in demand, while the pink varieties are
far behind. Carnations are plentiful
and those arriving are of good quality.
Roses are of fine quality, but are too
plentiful and consequently are sold at
low figures. Especially is this true of
the yellow varieties. Violets, valley
and narcissi are seen on the market.

The Florists’ Review

Frederick P. Wolfinger left last week
for a hunting trip in the Blue Ridge
mountains of North Carolina. . He will
return the week before Thanksgiving.

Philips Bros. are. busy with a great
deal of funeral and wedding work and
a lively counter trade. =

Strobell & Co. find business somewhat
improved but not yet as good as it
ought to be. There still is a tendency
for business to be spotty, but it is
thought that the coming season will
prove a good one.

F. A. Kuéhn states that business is
developing nicely. He has had much
wedding and funeral work. The addi-
tion to his greenhouses has been com-
pleted.

August Begerow intends to erect a

‘private residence at 2 Girard place, at

a cost of $10,000.

The Newark Shade Tree Commis-
sion ‘will soon plant 3,000 trees along
the curb of some*of the streets.

Ernest Radany anticipates good busi-
ness during the winter months. He
makes many sales of artificial flowers

~ and wreaths, and supplies large amounts

of evergreens for the cemetery near his
store.

The Manda Floral Co., of West
Orange, recently sent shipments of or-
chids to Japan and to Cuba.

William Weismantel recently secured
a contract for decorating a large float
for the great white way parade at
Harrison. Mr. Weismantel used large
quantities of flowers and hundreds of
small electric lights: This decoration
was given the first prize by the judges.

Peter Penek, of 6 Academy street,
said that while business has been im-
proving there is a lull at present. The
outlook for the approaching season is
bright. ‘R. B. M.

The Market.

For_ some unknown reason, business
was quiet last week. The weather has
not been of the best. Dull, rainy, cold
days do not help trade any and this may
be the chief reason. The local grow-
ers are supplying the stores with ele-
gant chrysanthemums, all of which
bring good prices. The stores present
a pleasing appearance with such a
wealth of flowers. around. Outdoor
stock is gone, except white and laven-
der cosmos. All stock. is of the choicest.
Major Bonnaffons have made their first
appearance and are unusually good.
Chadwick, Queen, Chieftain, Touset and
Chrysolora are among the finest, al-
though many other varieties are seen.
Pompons are selling exceptionally well.
Garza and Mrs. Buckingham, the rich
pink, are especially popular. In roses,
the stock is large and of good quality.
At this season the stems and foliage are
fine. American Beauties are selling

The Florists’ Review

NovEMBER 11, 1915.

Various Notes,

The flower shop recently opened on
Plymouth avenue, under the manage-
ment of Lars Goranson, has been closed
and the fixtures and supplies sold. Mr.
Goranson’s illness has made this move
necessary. ;

George B. Hart, who was, Republican
candidate in the Sixteenth -ward for
supervisor, was elected November 2 by
a large majority. All his friends are
much elated over his election and wish
him success during his term of office.

E. C. Armbrust, on East avenue, had
an effective window display last week,
consisting of pink and yellow mums and
a large quantity of cosmos. Ferns and
palms made a good background. Mr.
Armbrust says business is good.

According to reports from the up-
town stores, the month of October was
satisfactory and a larger amount of
business was done during that month
than during any October of previous
years. {

George C. Saltford, of the Saltford
Flower Shop, Inc., Poughkeepsie, N. Y.,
was in town last week. This is his first
western trip, which will terminate at
Cleveland. He visited all the stores and
has become well acquainted.

Returning from a 4-day trip through
western Pennsylvania, Arthur Elder, of
the Lord & Burnham Co., reports that
the growers are most optimistic about
the coming year and are talking green-
house building in earnest. Building
contracts received last month at the
local office of this company have been
far in excess of any other month of this
year.

E. R. Fry has purchased a handsome
McCray icebox for his new store on
West Main street. His window is at-
tractively arranged with baskets of
flowers.

George T. Boucher reports business as
being good. He has had a large amount
of funeral work.

Purcell is cutting fine pempons, for
which he finds a ready sale. His other
mums are good.

Charles Suhr is doing a nice business
in chrysanthemums. He is cutting large
quantities of some of the best com-
mercial varieties.

The fixtures of the store of H. E.
Wilson are now complete. During the
week a new showcase has been added.
The shelves of the case are nicely ar-
ranged with vases, jardinieres, bud

vases and ferneries. It is an elaborate

case and is a big attraction as well as
a good advertisement.

Schuyler Arnold spent the week end
with his parents, Mr. and Mrs. George
Arnold, Jr., at Ensenore, N. Y.

Morris Cohen, of New York, was in
town Thursday and had a good display
of new fall ribbons and ‘chiffons. He
captured several good orders. He in-
tends to visit the Cleveland show.

A large party is planning to leave
October 10 for the Cleveland flower
show. H. J. H.

EVANSVILLE, IND.

The Market.

Last week the florists were unusually
busy with funeral work and a number
of social affairs resulted in many or-
ders for decorations. Plenty of flowers
of a large variety were on the market.
Mums are at their best, but the season
for them will be shorter this year un-
less cooler weather comes early. It

day was a big day for Mr. Elspermann,
when he sold a large number of designs
made up of boxwood and artificial
flowers.

Miss Nellie Goodge is able to be up
and about again, though unable to do
much. She has been unfortunate, for
her grower also has been sick and un-
able to work for several weeks.

Royston & Fenton report a good de-
mand for roses and mums. They have
had many shipping orders for coleus,
sultanas and Sprengeri.

Austin Wallace has returned. He ex-
pects to plant his place to lettuce for
the winter, but will have Russell roses
in the spring.

The next meeting of the newly or-
ganized florists’ club will be held at
William Halbrooks’, at Oak Hill ceme-
tery, November 17. It is expected that
all details incidental.to the new club
will be completed at this meeting.

Frank D. Posey, of Reckport, Ind.,
died last week. A number of years ago
he began to grow plants in an aban-
doned coal mine, and produced chrys-
‘anthemums that’ were of such excep-
tional quality that he made a present
of some to Mr. Taft, who was Presi-
dent at that time. He used acetylene
lamps te furnish light. BE. LL. F.

A Bowling Contest.

Thursday evening, November 4, a
dozen members of the Omaha-Council
Bluffs Florists’ Club met at one of the
local bowling alleys, where a contest
was staged between the members from
across the river and the home con-
itingent, the former bowitig to defeat in
three straight games. Lunch and re-
ifreshments were served and everyone
present seemed’ to enjoy the occasion
‘immensely.

There was great disappointment in
not seeing more members present, but
it is hoped that there will be a better
representation at the next contest, to
be staged the first Thursday in Decem-
ber. -Reservation of the alleys once a
month for the entire winter has been
made and some good'times are looked
for. Now, do not forget the date, the
first Thursday in December, for the
C. B. boys are out for revenge and
say they are going to have it.

MOTT-LY MUSINGS.

Thomas Joy II, of the Joy Floral Co.,
Nashville, Tenn., is a strong advocate
of publicity—‘‘making the best possi-
ble use of one’s name, with the goods
to back it up.’’ The company has adopt-
ed a trade mark, ‘‘The Joy of Flow-
ers,’’? and has a clever conceit in an
electric sign, placed on the tile floor of
the display window, where it attracts
the attention of passers-by. Mr. Joy
smilingly remarked, ‘‘We are a joyful
quartet; four generations in the busi-
ness. Father is 76 years of age and is
often taken for me. When there is a
mix-up of joy it makes him feel young.
See him yonder, with the boys, bring-
ing in that load of Cobbler potatoes.
The potatoes are yielding heavily and
will bring a good price. Come and look
at the Champion potato digger, which
digs about six inches below the surface
and throws up the tubers easily and
with ne’er a miss. It is a great ma-
chine.’’ A peep through the houses
found stock in fine shape, with plenty
of blooms and foliage. Thomas Joy Ill
has charge of the store and said that
the dahlia exhibition they gave this
year was the biggest yet. For several
days the place was crowded, the free
display and distribution of flowers be-
ing a big attraction. The climax came
when a large party of young women,
who had been attending a demonstra-
tion class nearby, swooped down in a
body and demonstrated their apprecia-
tion by taking not only the blooms but
also the labels, and, in several in-
stances, the vases which held the flow-
ers, presumably with the endeavor to
preserve the dahlias as long as possible.
Mr. Joy said it might be called en-
thusiasm, but a trifle overdone.

Geny Bros. retain the old range at
North Nashville, awaiting a rise in real
estate values. In the meantime, ferns
galore flourish there. The new range
at West Nashville is in excellent shape.
Large quantities of lilies are carried in
cold storage. It has been discovered
that giganteum forces better after hav-
ing been stored for a while, even for
early use.

The craft at Louisville, Ky., is mak-
ing autumnal displays, all the windows
being attractive. Jacob Schulz has
blooming cattleyas in pots, together
with Oneidium varicosum. Mrs. C. B.
Thompson reports much funeral work.

F. Walker & Co., William Walker and
F. Haupt were busy with decorations.

John Karsten, of Chattanooga, Tenn.,
has discovered that it does not pay to
grow the earliest mums. For second
early he has Eaton, Dolly Dimple, Chad-
wick, Roman Gold and Appieton. Chief-
tain he considers the finest ineurved
shell-pink mum. Business is picking
up, but it has been:quiet for some time.

William Blackman & Sons, of Evans-
ville, Ind., occupy a unique position in
the profession, with four generations of
growers, present and prospective. The
founder is approaching the eightieth
milestone and while not so active as
in the past, his mind is fully alert. To
spend a few minutes in his company
is of pleasure and profit. The founder
handed the reins over to his son, George,
who has developed the business to its
present satisfactory condition, being
ably assisted in turn by his son, Walter,
who will in his turn be assisted by the
young man whose name I failed to ob-
tain, but who will doubtless prove to
be a chip from the original block.

The Lawrence Floral Co., of Atlanta,
finds a good sale for pompons in small
baskets, as centerpieces. Large blooms
in large baskets for presentations are
selling lively. Walter Lawrence had
just returned from his cotton planta-
tion and said it paid him to give his
best attention to that, considering the
present price cotton is bringing.

Wachendorff Bros., of Atlanta, were
busy judging the mums exhibited by
several leading Atlanta amateurs, at
Inman park. By good judgmient they
manage to please all interested, as is
evinced by the annual call for their
services as judges. They have a pret-

The Market.

Trade has been about all that could
be expected during the last two weeks.
Stock has been quite plentiful, with
mums in the front rank. The supply
of mums has been heavy, but the flow-
ers have been worked up so that there
has been no great surplus at any time.
Bonnaffon is fine, both in white and
yellow, and is really the best seller on
the market. Some good Rager, Engue-
hard, Blackhawk, Roman Gold, Maud
Dean, ete., are to be seen. There have
been a few Chadwick cut, but it will
be a week or so before it comes in.
Chadwicks are not going to be so large
as they usually are. Roses are arriv-
ing nicely and meet with a demand
about equal to the supply. Beauties
have been rather scarce and the de-
mand for them has been light. ~

Carnations are more plentiful and
their quality is improving. Violets are
moving better and some good stock is
to be had of both single and dou-
ble varieties. The demand for valley
has kept the supply down and there
has been no surplus. Some good cycla-
mens, primroses, begonias and a few
good potted mums are to be seen. The
demand for these is fair.

Various Notes.

The Fifth Avenue Floral Co. has a
fine lot of roses and carnations coming
into crop.

The Art Floral Co. is making a nice
display of mums and the sales for
them are increasing.

The Columbus , Floral Co. is cutting
heavily of mums and is disposing of
them easily.

Sherman Stephens has been busy
with funeral work and has had. many
orders for mums. Mr. Stephens is on
the job most of the time and is re-
gaining his strength by degrees.

BALTIMORE.

The Market.

A fair volume of business was done
last week. In spite of the ‘increased
supply of mums, there was no sur-
plus at the close of business Saturday.
Mums are now in heavy supply and
prices for them are only fair. There
was rather a larger quantity of white
than was needed, but other colors sold
well. Roses are not in as heavy a crop
as usual, nor is the demand for them
heavy. The same may be said of car-
nations. Violets have been selling
well; the doubles are arriving in bet-
ter quality, as the weather becomes
cooler. Valley is overplentiful and is
moving slowly. The green supply still
is heavy and it is hard to move all that
finds it way to the markets. Pompon
mums are selling slowly even at low
prices. The large quantities of out-
side stock cut into the market of the
better kinds.

Club Meeting.

The regular meeting of the Garden-
ers’ and Florists’ Club, November 8,
was the best attended and most inter-
esting held for some time. The main
topic of discussion was the flower show,
which will be held in conjunction with
the Maryland Week exhibition at the
Fifth Regiment Armory, November 16
to 20. The committee in charge of the

flower exhibit expressed its disappoint-
ment at the delay of exhibitors in
sending in their entries. The club de-
cided to appropriate $100 toward de-
fraying the expenses of the exhibit.
Many new members were enrolled for
the Maryland Horticultural Society,
under whose auspices the show will be
held.

It was reported that Henry Hess, a
retired florist and a member of the
club, had died since the last meeting.

Two of the new roses being intro-
duced by A. N. Pierson, Inc., of Crom-
well, Conn., namely Red Radiance and
Mrs. W. R. Hearst, were on exhibition
through the local branch of the S. S.
Pennock-Meehan Co.

Various Notes.

Thomas and Edward Stevenson, of
Towson, recently spent several days in
the vicinity of Philadelphia, visiting
some of the rose growers there.

Samuel Feast & Sons have purchased’
a new auto truck and are having a
specially designed body built thereon.
They intend to use the machine for serv-
ice between the greenhouses and the
city store.

P. B. Welsh has a fine lot of Aspara-
gus plumosus and smilax at his Glen
Morris greenhouses. Much of his stock
is shipped regularly to the S. S. Pen-
nock-Meehan Co., at Washington.

Charles Siegwart is cutting fine
blooms of William Turner mums. In
addition to being a successful mum

grower, he has had great success in
handling carnations and cattleyas.

The Market.

The cut flower market during all of
last week showed an immense cut of
seasonable stock. To say the market
was crowded would be putting it mild-
ly. The extremely warm weather all the
week caused a slump in the retail busi-
ness. Colder weather is badly needed,
also a good rain. Prices on all stock

&@~ Largest individual retail dealer in Cur FLOwERs
and PLants in the world,

were greatly reduced, and, outside of
mums and sweet peas, the retailer
could almost name his own price in big
lots. As chrysanthemums are the pop-
ular flowers at present, the trade bought
quite heavily of these, at prices rang-
ing from $4 to $25 per hundred. Extra
fine Bonnaffon, Turner and Appleton
are now seen daily. This demand for
mums caused a great depression on
other stock. Roses are plentiful in all
grades, but find few buyers. Fine Rus-
sell, Hadley, Ward and _ Kaiserin
abound, and to quote correct prices on
these would be a hard proposition.

Carnations are a glut in all varieties
and, as prices are low on fancy stock,
the ordinary ones are being dumped.
Violets also are wasted for lack of de-
mand. The warm weather has killed
their quality. Sweet peas, valley and
lilies share in the demand for mums
and hold their price. Some extra good
cosmos is coming in, but experiences
little demand, if any. All greens are
in demand and hold their prices.

Various Notes.

The St. Louis members of the trade
going to Chicago and Cleveland to at-
tend the flower shows at those places
left November 8, at 9 p. m., on the
Chicago & Alton railroad. They spent
the opening day at Chicago, leaving
there Tuesday night for Cleveland for
a few days. The party was composed
of Mr. and Mrs. Henry G. Berning, Mr.

products. H. C. Irish, vice-president of
the society, says that the annual meet-
ing will take place at the Planters’
hotel, December 21 to 23. Mr. Way-
man is busy preparing papers that are
to be read before the meeting.

The twenty-sixth annual banquet to
be given by the Missouri Botanical
Garden to gardeners, florists and nur-
serymen, will take place at the Linder-
kranz Club, Friday, November 19, at
7 p.m. This is in accordance with the
will of the late Henry Shaw, the
founder of the garden.

Chairman J. F. Ammann, of the_Car-
nation Society committee, has ap-
pointed the chairmen of the various
sub-committees. They are as follows:
Reception committee, Frank J. Fill-
more; financial committee, Charles
Beyer; ticket committee, Frank Wind-
ler; exhibition committee, William C.
Smith; decorations committee, Charles
Young. Each man is to appoint his own
committee to work with him.

The local trade put in several busy
days with work for the funeral of the
late president of the German-American
Press Association. Many orders from
all parts of the country were reported
by those advertising in The Review’s
telegraph delivery department.

The chrysanthemum show at the Mis-
souri Botanical Garden, which is free
to the public, has been attracting thou-
sands daily since the opening, Novem-
ber 1. The show was beautifully staged
by Max Schiller. The new Dove or-
chid in the big orchid house, where
George Pring presides, attracts many
of the visitors.

Charles Beyer is out with a delivery
truck of attractive appearance. The
large show house on Grand avenue is
filled with fine blooming plants.

Miss Julia Delway, until recently with
the Springfield Seed Co., of Springfield,
Mo., called last week and said she would
remain in St. Louis.

Windler’s Flowers, at 2300 South
Grand avenue, attracted many last week
by beautiful window displays. Red
autumn leaves and yellow mums made a
fine combination. dward Guntly was
the artist.

The special meeting of the St. Louis
Florists’ Club, held November 4 at the
store of the Windler Wholesale Floral
Co., was largely attended. The object
of the meeting was to change the date
of the regular meeting from November
11 to November 18, and this was so de-
cided. The next meeting will be held
on that date, in the lecture room at the
Missouri Botanical Garden. This meet-
ing should be largely attended by the
members, as the flower show will be in
full swing and will be viewed after the
meeting. Regular notices will be sent
by the secretary.

Oliver K. Sanders, manager of the
Sanders Nurseries, on Clara avenue,
says the large supplies of cut mums
that come in from their Henley road
greenhouses are of extra fine quality,
and that business has been extraordi-
narily good this season.

The Riessen Floral Co. store, on
Broadway, experienced a busy week in
funeral pieces of large size, with sev-
eral orders to telegraph to eastern
towns. Mrs. Buechel says they are
much pleased with the business so far
this season.

Henry Ostertag, of Ostertag Bros.,
reports trade as being good in all
branches, especially in funeral work.

BOSTON.

The Market.

There has been a decided slump in
business since my last report. Chrys-
anthemums have reached their flood
tide and the inevitable result, an an-

nual affair and one always expected,
need not be dilated upon. A _ great
many mediocre and poor mums _ have

appeared and these are sold cheaply.
Good flowers of Chieftain, Eaton, Bon-
naffon, Rager, etc., bring good prices,
but the retail demand has not been
sufficient to take care of the increased
supplies. Roses have had a somewhat
hard week and have been cleaned up
with difficulty at low prices. While
the Killarneys have slumped the most,
all varieties have suffered. Carnations
are in even a worse position than roses.
A few fancies have made $3 and $4
per hundred, but far the greater por-
tion go at $1 and $1.50. The quality
for the season is splendid.

Violets are abundant and sell cheap-
ly. Valley is also much lower, with a

weak demand. Lilies have declined
with the rest. Yellow marguerites sell
quite well, but they are not yet abun-
dant. Sweet peas go slowly; so do

callas and all snapdragons but pink
ones. Quantities of good pansies are
coming in. Cattleya labiata is in good
supply, but the demand is weak. There
is a good supply of other orchids. Gar-
denias are good and sell better than
eattleyas. Demand for green stock has
not been robust.

Boston Bowlers’ Scores.

strong score.
Various Notes.

The fall show of the Massachusetts
Horticultural Society, just closed, was
one of the most successful shows ever
held in Boston. It was especially pleas-
ing to see how the commercial men
came out, while the retailers of promi-
nence in the city were nearly all repre-
sented. People have had a surfeit of
big blooms and big plants, but they
still love chrysanthemums.

A. M. Davenport made an enviable
record for himself at the Boston show.
His Mrs. Heal begonias created some-
thing of a sensation. This is not at

all a new variety, having been popular
in Great Britain for years, but it is un-
common here still. Mr. Davenport
says it propagates from leaves as eas-
ily as Cincinnati, while its brilliant
color places it away ahead of all the
smaller-flowered pink varieties. This
is bound to become a popular market
sort here, and there are quite a num-
ber of other fine varieties of this type.

Andrew Christensen says that Match-
less and White Enchantress carnations
are good with him, but he still finds
more money in the old Queen. Pink
Delight, Alice and Mrs. Ward are all
good.

A bowling league has been formed
at Carbone’s, comprising both the
wholesale and retail departments. Play
will commence this week at the Castle
Square alleys.. Mr. Carbone will not
be home from Europe until the end of
the month, but importations of pur-
chases made by him are coming in on
practically every boat. For thé wed-
ding of Miss Bradley at All Saints
church, November 6, the bride’s bou-
quet was of white orchids, the brides-
maids’ bouquets of yellow oncidiums
and the boutonnieres of gardenias.

William A. Riggs, of Auburndale, is
cutting a fine lot of Chieftain, Pink
Ivory, White Ivory, Savannah and
Fairy Queen mums. Carnations are do-
ing particularly well. The leaders are
Peerless Pink, Beacon, Rosette and En-
chantress.

The National Association of Garden-
ers will hold the next convention in
Boston December 8 and 9. Boston has
not previously had a convention of this
kind and great interest is being mani-
fested in the coming one. Many visi-
tors from a distance are expected and
entertainment plans are already under
way.

R. T. McGorum’s roses and mums are
now being handled by B. J. McGinty
at the Cooperative Market. John Me-
Farland is selling his flowers through
H. M.*Robinson & Co. at “the same
market.

F. H. Houghton and Samuel Kravatz
have withdrawn from the Houghton-

ered as a likely location.

The Budlong Rose Co. is receiving
some splendid Charles Rager, Bonnaffon
and Eaton mums. Mock, Stanley,
Ophelia and Killarney Brilliant are
noteworthy among their roses.

Wax Bros. report business as good
indeed. In October receipts were far
ahead of the same month in any pre-
vious year. Wedding and funeral or-
ders continue to come in freely.

The sympathy of both of the whole-
sale markets goes out to C. R. Dane,
of Roxbury, a much esteemed retailer
of long standing, who lost his wife at
the age of 76 years, November 1.

F. W. Holbrow, of Brighton, is cut-

which meets with a quick sale. His
Bonnaffon mums came in season this
week.

Geo. H. Noyes is receiving from S8. J.

Edward Stout has left the employ

Seed Trade News

AMERICAN SEED TRADE ie ee

President, John M. Lupton, Mattituck
G@ecretary-Treasurer, O. . Kendel, Cleveland, 3

Amone other shortages claiming the
attention of quite a few seedsmen is that
of well berried Delaware holly.

CARTER’S TESTED SEEDS, INc., of Lon-
don, England, has established a Chi-
cago agency with A. L. Berry & Co.,
230 South La Salle street. J. Fisher
has charge of the seed department.

THE seed trade within the week has
received the wholesale catalogue of a
world-famous seed grower at Quedlin-
burg, Germany, bound in special cover
bearing the name and address of a Hol-
lander.

THE imports of European seeds will
not be cut off, but they seem almost cer-
tain to be reduced, particularly those of
known pedigree. It will not mean a
seed famine, but it justifies good prices
for reliable stock.

J. W. MACHIN, doing business as the
Wamego Seed House, Wamego, Kan.,
has complained to the Interstate Com-
merce Commission against the rates of
the Union Pacific railroad on corn from
Valley, Neb., to Wamego, Frankfort,
Manhattan and Emmett, Kan., and asks
for a refund of $233 on recent ahip-
ments.

SEED corn in Iowa has made excellent
progress in the last few weeks of unusu-
ally favorable weather and is out of
danger, but Iowa seedsmen declined to
be alarmed at the danger of frost, one of
them stating that ‘‘in any case, we
would have plenty of old corn to fall
back on. The country here is full of old
corn of first-class quality and if the
worst comes to worst, we can use that
for seed.’’

THE press agencies last week sent out
from San Francisco a neat little story
beginning: ‘‘When Mrs. Grace G. Cut-
ler, a comely widow living at the Hotel
Court, dared Howard Patrick, a wealthy
seedsman of Kansas City, to accompany
her to the top of the Tower of Jewels
yesterday, she reckoned not with Pat-
rick’s daring, for before the couple
had descended to the ground Patrick
himself had made a dare that resulted
in their marriage at the topmost bal-
eony of the tower.’’ It is said they had
been engaged for some time.

THE MICHIGAN BEAN CROP.

Wet weather may have affected the
Michigan bean crop more than $8,000,-
000, according to Professor Vv.
Shoesmith, of the State Agricultural
College. ‘The crop will probably not
be more than thirty to thirty-five per
cent normal,’’ he is quoted as saying,
‘fand as the crop is usually worth
$10,000,000 to $12,000,000, you can fig-
ure out the loss for yourself. No sec-

DANISH VALLEY.

Because a part of the valley pips
shipped from Denmark always have
been of German origin, it is difficult to
determine exactly how many pips are
grown in Denmark or how many actual
Danish pips are brought to America.
The best available information, how-
ever, indicates that about 11,000,000
Danish pips were exported to the United
States last year, of these between 7,-
000,000 and 8,000,000 by one shipper,
who also is a grower and buyer. The
Danish crop this year is about the same
size as last year, but probably English
demand for the guaranteed Danish ar-
ticle will be rather stronger than usual,
so the countries at war with Germany
may be rather strong competitors of
the United States for it. The keen-
ness with which the Danish exporters

are seeking orders in this country (a
fortnight ago one agent claimed to have
booked orders between New York and
Chicago for 6,000,000 Danish pips) leads
to the belief ‘that the Danes are ‘count-
ing on filling them in considerable part
with German pips masquerading as of
Danish origin. It is well known that
moderate quantities of German goods of
all kinds are getting past the English
blockade, via both Rotterdam and Dan-
ish ports, but how far it can be worked
with such a typically German article
as valley pips remains to.be seen.

Incidentally, pips that were sold at
$10.50 and $11 f. 0. b. Copenhagen last
year, now are quoted at $12 per thou-
sand.

BULB SHIPMENTS SLACKENING.

Consignments of Dutch bulbs are
slackening, as the end of the season
draws near, and the small shipments
which reached New York October 31,
on board the steamers Rotterdam and
Westerdyk, are probably the last im-
portations of the 1915 crop. The total
number of cases of Dutch bulbs re-
ceived this season, to date, as given
in the New York manifests of Dutch
steamers, is 33,420, which is about 500
cases less than the 1914 imports
through the port of New York, approxi-
mately 34,000 cases. This year’s im-
ports, however, include the Canadian
imports of Dutch bulbs, which have
come through the United States because
of the great reduction in ocean car-
riers to Canadian seaports.

The consignments on board the steam-
ers Rotterdam and Westerdyk, as list-
ed in the manifests on file at the New
York custom house, were as follows:

Of course these crops had to be re-
fused. In the section where this corn
was grown, they had not only a frost,
but a freeze, about a month ago. This
freeze caught the corn while in the
dough; therefore it was not sufficiently
hard to stand the freeze. Their crops
grown for them farther north, along
the shore of Lake Erie, were more for-
tunate, as, while they had frosts there,
the frost was not nearly so severe as in
Paulding county.

FREIGHT RATE ON ONION SETS.

Northrup, King & Co., seedsmen of
Minneapolis, have filed a complaint with
the Interstate Commerce Commission
against the advance by the Chicago &
Northwestern and other roads of the
class rate on onion sets in baskets, from
the third-class to the first-class freight
rating, which means an increase in the
rate. Heretofore the same rate applied
on onion sets in baskets as in bags,
boxes, barrels or crates. It is charged
that the proposed first-class rate on
onion sets in baskets is unreasonable.
The railroads were petitioned in oppo-
sition to the new rating, but said that
the first-class rate was justified because
a basket was not considered as good a
container as a crate. Northrup, King &
Co. had considerable correspondence
with the railroads, but their request
that the third-class rating be retained
was denied and then complaint was
made to the commission at Washington,
Dat:

It is pointed out in the petition that
baskets in which onion sets are shipped
are easily handled, because they are
equipped with handles and are con-
structed of wood the fiber of which is
tough and rigid, and because the cover
is attached to the basket by four stout
wire fasteners which are securely fas-

THE BEST
EASTER SELLER

has always been and always
will be Easter Lilies. It is
the most appropriate article
you can offer your trade at
Kaster time. They will give
more satisfaction then than
at any other time; and they
are the most profitable
plants you can handle. You
should have plants suitable
for all pocketbooks. The
best all-around size for you
is the 7/9 Giganteum. This
size in Horseshoe Brand
bulbs affords from three to
seven flowers per plant.
They cost only $15 per case
of 300 bulbs and will prove
very profitable to you when
Easter comes. The _ profit
you can make is large in per-
centage, and in extent is only
limited by your ability to
market quantities. It al-
ways pays to have some over
rather than not enough, so
have plenty of Easter lilies
in the spring, for the 1916
Kaster will be one of the
best florists have seen in a
long while. If you grow
them yourself, be sure and
get Horseshoe Brand Gigan-
teum, because they are the
best bulbs you can get and it
don’t pay to grow any other
kind. Easter comes late—
April 23rd, in 1916—and
there is plenty of time yet to
plant Giganteum this year.
Prices for fresh crop Horse-
Shoe Brand Giganteum as

The Florists’ Review

tened to the cover and to the basket
proper, making it impossible for the
basket to be opened without an imple-
ment for that purpose. The basket is
also reinforced inside and equipped with
a specially strong top or cover. ‘‘It
certainly cannot be broken in the or-
dinary method of transporting to and
from depots and in and out of cars with-
out being subjected to unusually rough
handling,’’ says the complaint. ‘‘The
possibilities for loss and damage to the
contents of a container of this kind
are practically nil. The average crate
is constructed of pine boxwood, one-
quarter of an inch or less in thickness,
and this cheaper grade of wood is more
apt to crack or break with rough hand-
ling. It is more or less of a temptation
to freight handlers to throw the crates
about, as they are not equipped with
handles.

‘*Since the change in classification,’’
the petition continues, ‘‘the complain-
ants have shipped many hundreds of
bushels of onion sets, and where there
have been a great number of serious
complaints of loss and damage in transit
with regard to shipments in crates, the
number of similar complaints with re-
gard to shipments packed in baskets
are not worth mentioning in compari-
son. Also, from an economical stand-
point, shipping in crates entails an en-
tirely useless waste of material, the
erates being worthless for anything but
kindling after unpacking, while the
basket has a multiplicity of uses. The
cost and weight of the two containers
are practically the same. Complainants’
shipments since the change in rating
have reached over 400,000 bushels, dis-
tributed over the northwest, a large
part of which business was developed
by their method of shipping in baskets
prior to the change in rating. It would
be in every way desirable, from the
railroad standpoint, to increase rather
than curtail this trade.

“‘The placing of a first-class rating
against onion sets in baskets will result
in the discontinuance of the shipments
in that kind of a container and increase
the crate shipments, which does not
work to the mutual benefit of the com-
plainant and defendant,’’ concludes the
petition. ‘‘It is a matter of great con-
cern to the complainants, as it vitally
affects the development of an import-
ant branch of their business.’’ The
commission is asked to establish the
third-class rating on onion sets in
baskets, or, if not, to make the third-
class rating subject to meeting certain
requirements as to the construction and
durability of the baskets. EE. H. P.

LOS ANGELES.

The Market.

The wholesalers say that the ship-
ping business has been unusually good,
but that local demand has slackened.
This probably is not chargeable to-busi-
ness generally, but to the fact that
local growers have been long on cer-
tain grades of stock. Taken generally,
this indicates a better tone. In speak-
ing of the out-of-town trade, it is en-
couraging to find that florists at a dis-
tance are getting more and more into
the habit of depending on ‘Los Angeles.
The stock grown here is excellent in
every way; the wholesalers are ship-
ping along the most up-to-date lines
and the old order of taking all the
traffic will bear is changing for the
better.

Regarding the stock offered on the
market, there still are large quantities
of mums of first quality, and pompons
are plentiful. The sprays of Japanese
varieties do not cut much of a figure
except as fillers in funeral work. Roses
are plentiful and of good quality, the
decline of the outdoor crop helping the
sale of the indoor stock. Carnations of
good quality are not any too plentiful.
Dahlias are practically over and the
cocl nights are causing a reduction in
the cut of centaureas. Most of the lily
of the valley comes from the north
now, but the stock from our local grow-
ers is fine in every way. Orchids are
scarce and the demand for them is not
great. A few early sweet peas and
myosotis in the smaller items are use-
ful, while the pretty yellow rose,
George Elger, helps out the scarcity in
Cecile Brunner. The name Yellow
Cecile Brunner is a misnomer, but this
charming little rose is welcome under
any name. Irish Elegance and Irish
Fireflame are among the novelties for
which the demand is increasing.

Various Notes.

S. Murata & Co. are shipping many
lath house carnations, the quality be-
ing of the finest. Mr. Murata is well
pleased with the way business has
started and looks forward to a big
season.

Paul Miller, of the L. A. Floral Co.,
has been away from the store for sev-
eral days, suffering from a carbuncle
on his arm.

The monthly meeting of the Los
Angeles County Horticultural Society
was held November 2, at Kruckeberg’s
hall. The attendance was good. The
subject for the evening was ‘‘ Dahlias,’’
Z. H. Sherart being the speaker. Mr.
Sherart began with an interesting his-
tory of the dahlia and passed easily to
cultural matters, nomenclature and
other points. He showed a close knowl-
edge of his subject. Nomination of of-
fiers was commenced, but as there had
been no notice of this given, the
nomination was postponed to the De-
cember meeting, on motion of Jas.
Grant.

C. Gutting, of the Superior Nursery
Co., has had to take another course at
Murrietta springs for rheumatism. He
has returned feeling much better but
still suffering some.

The Sierra Madre flower show opened
November 4 and an excellent lot of
flowers were exhibited. The cut chrys-
anthemums were exceptionally good,
competition being strong among local
growers. Mrs. French, of Pasadena,
showed a magnificent lot of blooms, in-
cluding many novelties and the best of
the popular kinds. The staging of the
exhibits was under the direction of
W. W. Felgate and Mrs. J. H. Wright,
and the arrangement of the entries was
excellent, the judges being able to carry
out their work easily. This is quite
the exception at these smaller shows.
Miss Sadie Thomas, of Pasadena, had
a good showing of mums. The judges
were W. Shield, H. R. Richards and
W. W. Felgate.

Among the funeral pieces carried out
by Frank Lichtenberg last week was a
pall containing violets and George
Elger roses, an exquisite combination.

John Morley, superintendent of
parks of San Diego, and D. MacRorie,
of San Francisco, were among the visi-
tors last week. H. R. Richards.

The Market,

Business is better, some of the flo-
rists having quite a rush of funeral
work. A sprinkle of rain ‘November 4
settled the dust and made things look
more like fall, adding the little touch
that will greatly help the violets. Those
who hoped for a storm to curtail the
flood of mums were disappointed. The
violets were already fine, especially
Princess and Giant, with good color
and unusually long stems.

The shipping business in violets has
been active, with larger and more or-
ders every day. In this way the cut
is easily disposed of. Chrysanthemums
also are shipped out in large quantities,
going all over the country. The pres-
ent cut, however, exceeds the demand
and prices are painfully low for such
fine stock. The early varieties still are
in full crop and most of the later ones
are arriving in good shape. This con-
dition promises to last well into the
month unless heavy storms come. Bon-
naffon keeps all its old popularity,
Hunter is much in evidence and fine
Nonin mums are appearing. Pompons
are moving almost by the ton, but large
sales hardly make an impression on the
supply of outdoor mums in the Chinese
market. Only a few scattering lots of
dahlias and. gladioli were seen last
week, but there still is plenty of cos-

mos, mignonette and other summer
stock.
Carnations are becoming plentiful

and good, but move slowly. Some of
the larger growers are bringing in a
fine cut of roses, good, clean stock,
with fine foliage and blooms. Beauties
still are held back, but Russell and
Shawyer are fine and find a good sale.
Cecile Brunner roses are of high quality.
Valley and cold-storage lilies are rather
scarce. There are enough cattleyas to
fill all requirements. Shipments of

Ladies’ Auxiliary Entertains.

October 28 the Ladies’ Auxiliary of
the Pacific Coast Horticultural Society
gave a reception at Red Men’s hall,
on which occasion the members of the
Pacific Coast Horticultural Society
were guests. The reception was a most
enjoyable affair, the attendance of
about forty, most of them well ac-
quainted, being just enough to make
a pleasant party. The evening was
spent in part at cards and dancing, and
a number of musical selections, given
by friends of the members, were highly
appreciated. The winner of the whist
contest was Mrs. Rose, who was pre-
sented with a handsome vase.

Menlo Park Flower Show.

The annual fall flower show of the
Menlo Park Horticultural Society, held
in the Menlo Park school building, fol-
lowed closely the show in San Fran-
cisco, beginning October 29 and closing
October 31. The attendance was rather
light and the exhibits covered hardly
as great a scope as those of the San
Francisco show. Everything was well
staged and the chrysanthemum exhibits
were about as good—in fact, some say
better than those at the San Fran-
cisco show. There was a good showing
of greens, many of the commercial
growers, nurserymen and amateurs of
San Mateo county and San Francisco
taking part. The committee in charge
consisted of D. Bassett, J. M. Daley,
G. Nunn, P. Ellings and D. W. Dale.
Among the most notable exhibits of
mums were those of the Lynch Nursery
Co. and Henry Goertzahn. The latter
has been making a great hit with some
new bronze mums.

Various Notes.

Mark Ebel, the Sacramento florist,
spent a few days in San Francisco last
week. He says things are quiet at
Sacramento, where a good rain is need-
ed to start the regular fall activity.
Mr. Ebel has been attracting a great
deal of attention by exhibiting in his
windows a large collection of the prize-
winning chrysanthemums from _ the
Lynch Nursery Co., of Menlo Park.

Charles Navlet, of San Jose, on one
of his recent visits remarked that busi-
ness at his home establishment is keep-
ing far ahead of last year, while sales
at the San Francisco branch, in the
Emporium, surpass those of last year
by over 100 per cent. He attributes
this largely to his good luck in getting
a large proportion of his Dutch bulbs
through, as the bulb sales have been
exceptionally heavy. He is also doing
unusually well with California bulbs.

C. Kooyman got all his Dutch bulbs
in late last month and has shipped prac-
tically all of them. He reports a de-
mand in excess of the supply.

For several weeks the E. W. McLellan
Co. has been making heavy shipments,
consisting of a considerable variety of
stock, to points all over the west and
some ‘points in the eastern states. The
great bulk of the shipments consists of
mums, but many orders are received
every day for violets, Cecile Brunner
roses and greens, all of which are in
excellent shape to ship. A popular item

PORTLAND, ORE.

The Market.

The volume of sales last week was
considerably greater than that of the
first week of November last year. Still,
the expectations engendered by the
good business of October have not been
fully realized. The slackening has
been general in Portland and the calls
from outside points have decreased. So
far, there has been no waste to speak
of, but supplies of carnations and mums
are increasing and they will be in
oversupply unless business becomes bet-
ter. In mums, William Turner and
Bonnaffon are leaders. Only a few
flowers are coming from California.
The cut of violets, both single and
double, is heavy and the quality of the
blooms is the finest ever seen. The cut
of roses has decreased on account of
several rainy days. Nurserymen are
rushed with orders and are lifting and
shipping stock.

Various Notes.

F. E. B. West has sold his interest
in the Agricultural Chemical Co. to R.
McKay and Peter McIntosh, and has re-
turned to England. The office of thé
company has been moved to the fac-
tory, at 80 North Tenth street. E. S.
Streeter has charge of the laboratory,

The Halloween display of Clarke
Bros. attracted a good deal of atten-
tion. The window represented a rural
scene with a large scarecrow, shocks
of corn and farm animals. Several fig-
ures and vehicles well known in the
comic supplements were in the fore-
ground. The entire display was worked
out with farm products in an ingenious
manner by F. V. Sanders, of the store
force.

A new flower store was opened No-
vember 5 at 148 Fourth street, by
Henry Clemmens, Florist, a corporation.
C. R. Langstaff and Henry Clemmens
are the managers. In the window were
some fine William Turner mums and
greenhouse sweet peas, grown by Mrs.
Henry Kahn.

John Holden is manager of the
Holden Floral Co., which is operating
the Sibson range of glass and part of
the outdoor area. Mr. Holden takes
personal charge of the carnation houses
and has a foreman in charge of the
pot plant section. The carnation
plants show excellent foliage and are
beginning to produce. He grows En-
chantress Supreme, Matchless, which he
favors as a white variety; Gorgecus,
The Herald, White Wonder, Champion,

being cut. One house is stocked with

son, and a lot of a sport which Mr.
Holden thinks promising. The whole
range is kept in excellent order and all
the stock shows evidence of careful
culture. Considerable outside ground is
set to delphiniums and _gaillardias.
Early mums were grown under cheese-
cloth. Mr. Holden takes special pleas-
ure in showing his houses of begonias
and poinsettias, which are unusually
ood.

The Tonseth Floral Co. has some pot-
ted Adiantum O’Brienii, which meets
with favor as a pot plant. In the win-
dow display were some fancy wicker
baskets filled with violets. One basket
was cradle-shaped and a miniature fig-
ure nestled among the violets.

The Fruit and Flower Mission sold
flowers on the streets November 6, for
the benefit of the society. The grow-
ers furrished the flowers at wholesale

The Market.

There are probably more flowers on
display in the florists’ windows at pres-
ent than there have been at any time
this year. Business is taking an up-
ward turn, after a protracted quiet
spell. Chrysanthemums are here in
endless variety and are the flowers most
in demand. There are more of the sin-
gle and pompon kinds in the stores
than in former years, but while they
have a grace and charm all their own,
the older, larger-flowered varieties still
are in popular favor. Many of the
blooms are being imported from Cali-
fornia and, as far as quality goes, they
leave little to be desired, while their
keeping qualities are fully as good as
locally-grown flowers. It looks as if
the local growers were not attempting
to grow such good mums as formerly
and, with the southern, outdoor-grown
flowers to eempete with, probably there
is some justification for their abandon-
ing efforts in this direction. Carna-
tions are now of first quality and are
arriving on the market in liberal quan-
tities. Some of the larger stores are,
however, advertising them at 25 cents
per dozen, so that it is a difficult mat-
ter for grower and retailer to secure
any remuneration from their culture or
sale of carnations. Roses are plentiful
and the local stock is of better quality
than usual from now until Thanksgiv-
ing. The local supply of roses should
be fully up to the demand. Probably
after Thanksgiving the stores will have
to depend on imported roses. Cali-
fornia violets are here and are being
advertised at 10 cents per large bunch.
Possibly the absence of that most de-
sirable adjunct to a violet, its perfume,
makes this price about the true value.
There are no local violets, consequently
persons with discriminating tastes do
not make use of the imported ones.

There still are quantities of fine dah-
lias selling and this season more of
‘the really useful decorative varieties
are being sent in, so that the demand
for them has been and continues good.

site the site of her old store on Second
avenue. This time she has a corner
on Marion street. From the start, the
wisdom of the move has been abundant-
ly proved and, while not losing any of
her former clientele, the management
declares business is far better at the
new place.

Rosaia Bros. have been having a
dahlia show in their new store at Third
and Madison streets. It proves much
for the mildness of our climate when a
constant supply of superior blooms can
be kept up at this season. Judging by
the large concourse of visitors and the
interest shown in the new varieties of
dahlias displayed, the dahlia is fast
becoming one of our most popular
flowers.

Felix Rosaia, of the Orpheum Floral
Co., has always a fine showing of good
flowers and says he finds business im-
proving. Visitors from the east have
been heard to state that all the busi-
ness is in the west, founding their judg-
ment on the lavish expenditure on new
stores during the last few months.

The Hollywood Gardens are getting
a good share of business and C. E. Sul-
livan, the manager, is reaching out for
more of the popular trade than in
former years, when few but the upper
ten were doing business at this store.
Growing most of their own flowers,
they are probably better: situated to
cater to the trade than are some of
their competitors.

The Paris Store is now under entirely
new management and Montreal Chris-
tessen, who is in charge, is finding busi-
ness good. Improvements in arrange-
ments, lighting, etc., are being planned.

As Frank Chercenka, foreman at the
Thomas greenhouse, of Rosaia Bros.,
John Karleck, another of the em-
ployees, Mrs. Chercenka and P. F. Ro-
saia were going to the greenhouses from
the interurban train on the night of
October 30, they were held up by two
highwaymen. Messrs. Chercenka and
Karleck put up a desperate fight, but,
being unprepared and unarmed, they
were forced to give up their money and
valuables. During the struggle Mr.
Chercenka was shot. Fortunately, a
Sunday paper in his pocket deflected
the bullet and he was not seriously
wounded. The highwaymen made good
their escape.

Under the management of the Seattle
Florists’ Club, a florists’ information
bureau has been inaugurated at the
manufacturers’ exhibit in the Stuart
building, the object being to place the
possible purchaser of flowers or other
greenhouse produce quickly in touch
with the producer. Miss Fowler, well
known to the trade here, has assumed’
management. It is hoped this institu-
tion will receive, as it deserves, the
support of everyone in the business.
All florists in the state are invited to
participate in the benefits. The tele-
phone number is Elliott 2681.

J. W. Lewis, of Brighton Beach, has
recently installed an automatic feeder
to his boiler. This apparatus automat-
ically conveys the coal to the furnace,
stirs the fire and ejects the refuse and,
to all appearances, is an ideal arrange-
ment for a moderate-sized range.

trade that the business in ornamentals,
and in landscape work, for 1915 shows
up far better, comparatively, than does
the business done with apple, peach and
other big sellers.

JoHN C. CHAsE, of the Benjamin
Chase Co., Derry, N. H., who has been at
Coronado, near San Diego, Cal., since
June, has added nearly forty pounds
since his illness of last spring. He will
return to New Hampshire in a few
weeks.

ALL property of the Alvin Japanese
Nursery Co., of Houston, Tex., includ-
re an orchard at Alvin, Tex., has been
ordered sold by the Eleventh District
court, on application of the receiver,
Paul W. Joplin. The assets include
crops valued at $23,500.

ARTICLES of incorporation have been
filed by the Glassacres Gardens & Nur-
sery Co., of Sioux City, Ia., growers and
dealers in trees, shrubs and plants. The
capitalization is $20,000. The officers
are: President and treasurer, J. L.
Hanchetti; vice-president, J. Kroone-
meyer; secretary, A. F. Hanchetti.

THE case of the Riverside Nursery
Co., of Fulton, Ill., versus the Chicago,
Milwaukee and St. Paul railroad has
been settled out of court. The railroad
company, which was charged with hav-
ing caused daimage to nursery stock
through delayed delivery, has paid the
aaa asked by the Riverside Nursery

THE Interstate Commerce Commission
has decided that the rates on nursery
stock from Geneva, Dansville and
Brighton, N. Y.; North Abington, Mass.,
and Dresher, Pa., and the rates on
wooden tree labels, from Derry, N. H.,
to Lakeland, Minn., are unlawful be-
cause they exceed the rates in effect on
like traffic from the same points to
Stillwater, Minn. L. L. May & Co., en-
gaged in the nursery business at St.

aul, complained against the rates.

THE Western Association of Nursery-
men meets the second Wednesday of
December at the Coates House in Kan-
sas City, attracting many wholesale
nurserymen from the east. It is hoped
this year to secure at that time and
place a fairly full mecting of those
charged with working out the innova-
tions provided for when the new con-
stitution and by-laws of the American
Association of Nurserymen were adopted
at Detroit last June. Thus far.no great
progress has been made because of the
widely scattered homes of the officers
and committee members.

RUST ON CRATZGUS.

Under separate cover I am sending
some small branches of a scarlet haw-
thorn tree which is diseased. Please
tell me what can be done to get the
tree clean. L. G.—Wash.

The crategus, or hawthorn, is badly
affected with rust. If you have any
plants of Juniperus Virginiana, the
common red cedar, growing in prox-
imity to your hawthorns, you are sure
to have this disease, as the cedars act
as host plants for the rust. Either
plant the hawthorns away from this
evergreen, or, if you have good haw-
thorns and want to retain them, cut
down the cedars. I do not know of a
full cure for this disease, but if you
give your trees a thorough spraying
of lime-sulphur when dormant, and
sprayings of Bordeaux both before and
after flowering, it will help a great
deal. Cow,

Gather the fruit any time after it
is ripe. Stratify in sand and sow in
either fall or spring. The fall sowing
insures a better germination. Sow
either in coldframes or in prepared
beds in the open. When sown out-

MILWAUKEE.

The Market.

The weather last week was ideal for
growing purposes, for there was. sun-
shine every day and it was quite warm
for this time of the year. Business has
been good and the volume has increased
materially. The supply of stock is
large and no one is going short on
having his orders filled. Despite the
fact that there is a large cut, business
has been sufficiently good to keep the
market cleaned up at fair prices. Roses;
are coming in heavily and are in ‘fine
' shape. Some exceptionally fine stock is
to be had at reasonable prices and the
cut is moving freely.

Chrysanthemums seem to be at their
height. While this condition limits the
sale of other stock to some extent, the
prices have held up wonderfully and
other stock has not suffered as much
as it would have, had business not been
so good.

Carnations are plentiful, but there is
no glut on the market. Prices for
them are good, considering the supply,
and this stock is moving quite well.
Fancy stock is bringing around $3 per
hundred, and, of course, short stock is
selling for somewhat less. The supply
of violets is about equal to the de-
mand, possibly because the demand is
not so large as it might be. This
stock has been backward this year and
the quality has been somewhat off.
From present indications, it is quite
safe to predict a fine Thanksgiving
trade and good stock in sufficient quan-
tity to fill all orders.

Various Notes.

Guy W. French, superintendent of
the Chicago Grand Floral Festival, was
in town last week and attended the
monthly meeting of the local florists’
club, November 4.

William Rayner, of Oconomowoc,
Wis., was in Milwaukee last week,
combining business with pleasure.

Mrs. J. Freytag recently left on a
trip through the west. She expects to
be gone about three weeks and will
take in many places of interest.

The Holton & Hunkel Co. is cutting
some Mrs. Wm. Turner mums that are
exceptionally fine. H. V. Hunkel has
bought a roadster, which he will use
principally for trips to and from the
two establishments of the Holton &
Hunkel Co.

The address, entitled ‘‘The Garden
City,’’ with which C. B. Whitnall en-
tertained the Florists’ Club, at the
meeting November 4, was interesting
indeed. Mr. Whitnall’s talk was force-
ful and full of wholesome truths. He
spoke at length on the benefits ac-
cruing to humanity from garden spots
in the manufacturing districts and ad-
vocated a garden for the working man,
to be attended to during leisure hours.
It is a regrettable fact that so few of
the ladies attended this ae

INDIANAPOLIS,

The Market.

Trade has been only fair during the
last week. The weather has been warm
and unusually: fine, which does not help
the florists’ business. Funeral work
has also been slow. The bright weather
for the last few-weeks has had a tend-
ency to bring a great deal of stock out
ahead of time. Thousands of flowers
that should have come two weeks hence
are in full bloom. Prices of stock have

suffered accordingly. — ae

Mums are plentiful, with a fair
mand. The numerous kinds of pom-

ons are plentiful and find a good sale.
Rome first-class carnations are to be
seen, prices ranging from $1.50 to $2.50
per hundred, wholesale. Roses are
plentiful at $3 to $10 per hundred, re-
tailing at 75 cents to $3 per dozen.
Beauties are unusually fine, retailing
‘from $3 to $8 per dozen. Easter lilies
are plentiful at $10 per hundred, re-
tailing at 75 cents to $3 per dozen,
Valley, orchids and single violets are.
plentiful, with a fair call.

Pot plants are in better demand,
some first-class pot mums, cyclamens,
primulas and the Lorraine type of be-
gonias being available.

Various Notes.

Mr. and Mrs. George —_— are

attending the flower show in Cleveland
this. week.

The E. G. Hill Co. had a mum show
at its store last week. Mr. Thomas de-
serves a great deal of credit for the
taste used in the display. One of the
attractions was a live model, which
proved to be a handsome young lady,
showing the latest effects in arm bou-
quets, corsages and ankle bouquets.
This feature proved quite attractive.

to visit my establishment and see my stock of

DECORATIVE and BLOOMING PLANTS

BRAMPTON, ONT.

The Market.

Business continues in a healthy fash-
ion, the demand for mums exceeding
the supply and the prices ruling some-
what higher than last season. From
what can be learned, the florists
throughout the Dominion seem doomed
to disappointment in connection with
the prospect of azaleas for Christmas.
The authorities at Ottawa are not in-
clined to take any chances, and the
powers—of persuasion—that be have
not been able to alter the decision of
the government so far.

Various Notes.

E. Dale and J. E. Cooper are both
attending the flower shows at Cleve-
land and Chicago this week, with other
florists from Toronto.

The Dale greenhouses were thrown
open to the public October 31, and
as everything is looking particularly
well, full advantage was taken by the
flower lovers. Men continue to leave
to join the new regiments forming. A.
Ray and Charles Hotchkiss, from the
mum section, were the latest to don the
khaki.

Some of the wholesale growers in the
vicinity were rather hard hit last week
through the failure of one of the
Toronto drug stores. A meeting of
creditors was held November 5 to ar-
range matters. The firm was the first
drug store in Hamilton to go into the
cut flower business, and on moving
headquarters to Toronto worked up a
large trade. War and high rental al-
tered conditions somewhat during the
last twelve months, and creditors at
the meeting decided to allow the firm
an extension of time. W. Gd. P.

Knightstown, Ind—The West View
Greenhouses, owned until recently by
Russell J. Richardson, have been sold
to Elmer E. Holloway.

Racine, Wis.—Harry Benz, formerly
of the flower department of the Boston

Store, Milwaukee, is now associated
with The Flower Shop.

The Florists’ Review

NoveMszer 11, 1916.

PROVIDENCE, R. I.

The Market.

Business is improving almost daily,
cut flowers being especially in demand,
while pot plants are moving well. In-
dications are that the coming season
is to be an active one.

Chrysanthemums, which have been
on the short side up to a few days ago,
are coming in lively and will be the
leader from now until after Thanks-
giving. Carnations, which have also

been scarce, are beginning to come.in.
fast enough to take care of such’ de-:

mand as there is, while roses are pleuti-
ful. Violets are in fine condition, but
the demand will not be especially brisk
until after the mums are gone. Prices
are good all along the line.

Various Notes.

The Budlong Rose Co., of Auburn, is
shipping somé fine mums to the Boston
market. The company’s crop of roses
also is heavy.

George Johnson & Son had the land-
scape work for the small park in front
of the new building of the Eagles, at
Columbia square.

F. T. Remieres, Bristol, reports a
heavy call for bulbs.

Charles Hunt is considering opening
a retail store in the downtown section.

James Hay, of Potowomut, East
Greenwich, recently finished a $1,000
order for shrubs, etc., for the estate
of Charles Davol, North Kingston.

A fire broke out about midnight, No-
vember 2, in the greenhouse of Le
Baron Bradford, Bristol. The wood-
work was badly charred and Mr. Brad-
ford estimates his loss at several hun-
dred dollars. W. H. M.

RICHMOND, IND.

In my report on the outing at Rich-
mond, published in The Review of No-
vember 4, I failed to mention Neumann
& Thomas, who were visited during the
day. This firm started only a year ago
last summer. They have two large
houses, devoted to roses. These they
are doing in great shape and the pros-
pects for a large cut of fancy stock
during the coming winter are bright.

Mr. Neumann is a Richmond boy,
having been connected with the estab-
lishments of the E. G. Hill Co., Chas.
‘Knopf Floral Co. and Fred H. Lemon
& Co. at different times. He is known
as a successful rose grower. Mr. Thomas
was not connected with the trade be-
fore the organization of this firm, but
a lifelong friendship for Mr. Neumann,
with a strong confidence in his ability
as a grower, induced Mr. Thomas to
throw in his fortunes with him.

LOUISVILLE, KY.

The Market.

Business continues to improve, even
though weather conditions are poor for
the handling of stock. We have had
summer heat here for nearly three
weeks and the outdoor stock that es-
caped the one and only frost is grow-
ing and blooming. Chrysanthemums
are coming with a rush, and varieties
that should come at Thanksgiving are
now in. If relief from this excessively
warm weather does not come soon, the
local supply of chrysanthemums for
Thanksgiving will be much curtailed.
Roses also show the effeets of the
weather; they are smaller than usual at
this time. Carnations are improving
steadily.

Business on All Souls’ day was di-
vided this year; one of the cemeteries
celebrated the day October 31, the
others, November 7. The weather was
favorable for this, for it allowed every-
one who desired to visit the cemeteries
on these days. An immense business
was done by those whose places of busi-
ness are near the different cemeteries
and those who make a practice of car-
rying stock out there to sell. Only the
cheapest stock brought its value. Good
stock would not bring the price that
would be asked wholesale. This day
does not help the principal stores much,
for they do not handle the class of
stock that is mostly wanted.

Various Notes.

The Nanz & Neuner Co. has been
sued for $117, for damages done to a
horse and wagon struck by the de-
livery automobile.

William Walker and his sons, Lee
and David, of the William Walker Co.,
accompanied by Louis Kirch, left No-
vember 8 for a visit to Indianapolis,
Richmond, Ind., and the big show at
Chicago.

The Kentucky Society of Florists held
its November meeting at the store of
the secretary, November 3. Only
routine business was transacted. The
next meeting takes place December 1,
at the greenhouses of A. Rasmussen,
and is an important one, as the annual
election of officers takes place.

John Schulz, aged 71 years, well
known among the older of the local flo-
rists and a brother of Jacob Schulz,
the dean of Louisville florists, died No-
vember 7. A. R. B.

It is still good after over six monthsof hard

their pressure is high and the men kink

Greenhouse Heating.

SUBSCRIBERS are invited to write the
Editor of this Department with regard to
any details of greenhouse heating that
are not understood. But please do not
ask The Review to make a choice of ap-
paratus for you. The greenhouse heating
equipment advertised in this paper is, we
believe, the best for the trade to buy,
and each article the best in the speci
field of its adaptation.

TWO PLANS SUGGESTED.

Will you please tell me how to pipe
an even-span greenhouse, 21x50? It
runs north and south and is twelve feet
high to the ridge. The walls are six
feet high, with thirty-two inches of
glass and the rest sheathing and siding.

he house is exposed, except that half
of the north gable is protected by a
shed. I want a temperature between
50 and 60 degrees in zero weather. I
shall heat with steam from the boiler
that is to heat the residence. The
greenhouse is ten feet from the resi-
dence, with which it is connected by
a shed. Will you kindly tell me what
size and quantity of pipe to use?

H. W.—Mich.

To heat the house described, I would
suggest running a 2-inch supply or flow
Pee through the house about three feet

elow the ridge, giving ita slight fall.

Then drop it down to a point below
the plate and connect it with two coils,
one running in each direction to the
corners of the house, and along the
side walls back to the boiler end of
the house, where they should connect
with a 14-inch pipe to carry the drip
water back to the boiler. Each of the
coils should have four 114-inch return
pipes.

If raised benches are used in the
houses and crops are to be grown for
which bottom heat is desired, I would
make a slight change in the arrange-
ment of the return pipes. Instead -of
carrying the flow pipe to the extreme
end of the house, at a point just be-
yond the ends of the benches put in
@ cross and carry a 14-inch pipe each
way, putting in a 1%-inch tee look-
ing down over the middle of each bench.
Under each of the benches run two
1%4-inch returns, which should be united
and connected with the tee at the
farther end of the bench. Extend a
1%-inch pipe from the cross to the
end of the house, and, after dropping
down to the plate, connect with coils
running on the walls back to the heater.

where and this is going to mean a
clamorous demand for it later. Coal
operators appreciate this fact and also
the fact that car and labor supply will
interfere with deliveries. They are not
sacrificing their coal now in order to
pass it on an unwilling market, but are
holding it in reserve to get the better
prices which are unavoidable.’’

As to smokeless coal in the Chicago
market, it is said that ‘‘the situation
is almost precisely the same as it was
a week ago. That is, the major oper-
ators are holding for $140 for mine-
run coal and are getting it. Some off-
grade coal is on the market occasionally
and this sells from $1.20 to $1.25. None
of the better grades can be had at any
such figure. Lump has been a little
soft in the country, selling at $1.90 to
$2. Egg, on the contrary, has been
firm, selling from $2.10 to $2.25.’’

HOUSE ATTACHED TO PORCH.

I have built a small greenhouse and,
being a beginner, do not know how
many return pipes are needed to heat if
to a temperature of 50 or 55 degrees.
It is 16x24 and is sunk three and one-
half feet below the ground level. It
extends southward from a southwest
porch and the porch is used as part of
the greenhouse. It is entirely protected
on the north. It is eleven and one-
half feet high to the ridge. The walls
are six feet high and contain two and
one-half feet of glass; the rest of the
walls is under the ground. The south
gable is glass.
cellar. I intend to run two 14-inch
flow pipes from the boiler, one on each
wall at the eaves, and I wish to use
1%-inch returns. Would four returns
on each wall, under the benches, be suf-
ficient? If placed on the walls instead
of under the benches, how are they con-
nected? A. K.—Neb.

In the house described, I would not
care to risk less than two 114-inch flows
and twelve 1%4-inch returns, and if a
temperature of 55 degrees is desired in
the coldest weather, thirteen or four-
teen returns would be safer, unless a
mercury circulator is attached, in which
case ten returns would answer. Unless
a circulator is used, I would prefer 2-
inch pipe for the flows and 1%-inch
pipe for the returns. Two 2-inch flows
and ten 1%-inch returys would give
better results than two 114-inch flows
and twelve 14-inch returns, with an
open system.

Various forms of pipe hooks and
hangers are used for supporting the
coils and are supplied by any of the
greenhouse manufacturers whose adver-
tisements appear in The Review. Short

WASHINGTON, D. C.

The Market.

Good business continued through last
week. The weather has turned cooler
and the oversupply of flowers has de-
creased. The cheaper grades of chrys-
anthemums are overplentiful, but in the
‘better grades conditions are more fa-
vorable and better prices prevail. These
have’ served to keep down the price
and demand for Easter lilies. Valley
is quite plentiful and can again be had
at $4 per hundred. The supply of or-
chids is less heavy and fair prices pre-
vail. Some excellent snapdragon was
to be had during the week, but as yet
the demand is light. The sale of both
single and double violets has jncreased
with the coming of cool weather.

Various Notes.

Less difficulty is being experienced
by those who import plants from Bel-
gium than was at first expected, accord-
ing to Fred H. Kramer, who states that
he is getting in all his plants and bulbs
with but little, if any, delay. ‘He has
just received 2,622 azaleas.

A visit to the city greenhouses re-

I had the pleasure of meeting the
grower, Mr. Houlton. Thousands of
people visited the greenhouses Novem-
ber 8, when the annual chrysanthemum
show was held. Several new varieties
are seen this year, including the yellow
Daily Mail and Lady Carmichael. The
new, deep red carnation, Princess
Dagmar, also was shown to advantage.

The New York Floral Co. reports a
busy week. The display windows are
attractively trimmed with chrysanthe-
mums, roses and carnations. This com-
pany last week offered great bargains
in flowers—roses at 2 cents each; car-
nations at 29 cents per dozen.

Baldwin reports a busy week with fu-
neral pieces and counter trade. One
of his Halloween windows was banked
solidly with yellow mums, while the
other had a dinner table of Halloween
favors. The centerpiece was a large
pumpkin filled with yellow pompon
mums. Mr. Baldwin received his ship-
ment of azaleas last week. He is cut-
ting fine carnations and William

PLANT TUBS

EVERLASTING VIRGINIA WHITE CEDAR

ERYBODY agrees that Plant Tubs made of

everlasting Virginia White Cedar will
best resist rot or decay. The ‘‘ Keystone’’ brand
of White Cedar Plant Tubs are made of this cele-
brated wood, and these goods are painted inside
and out with best oil paints, a rich green.

They are bound with heavy steel hoops for the large
size, and electric-welded wire hoops (galvanized
on the small size. The large sizes are trimm
with handsome drop handles and metal feet, and
have perforated, removable bottoms.

These Cedar Tubs are made in all sizes, from 243
inches top diameter down to 6 inches, amply large
for a Bay Tree and small enough for a Hyacinth.
Every one guaranteed. Booklet in colors, with
prices, furnished upon request.

The Market.

There is a good demand for nearly
all kinds of stock and the supply is
sufficient. Beauties are always cleaned
up and seem to stick to the close side.
Other roses sell well, although the sup-
ply exceeds the demand. The newer
varieties are always cleaned up at good
prices. There are no indications of
an accumulation of carnations. Single
and double violets are available. Cat-
tleyas are sufficient. Valley is some-
what scarce. Sweet peas have not made
any impression. Chrysanthemums con-
tinue strong in all colors and sizes. Yel-
low is mostly called for at present
and is somewhat scarce. Pompons are
also largely called for and extensively
used for table decorations. Easter lilies
are quite plentiful. Mignonette, pan-
sies, daisies and calendulas may be had.
Greens of all kinds move in a satis-
factory manner.

Various Notes.

Buffalo was well represented at the
Cleveland show that opened November
10. The Buffalo bowlers left full of
vim and vigor, with hopes of attaining
a high score. Special interest attaches
to the contest between Buffalo and
Rochester to decide the championship.

de

DETROIT.

The Market.

Business has been increasing nicely
and the demand for stock is heavy.
November 6, the day of the big foot-
ball game at Ann Arbor, the call for
yellow mums was exceedingly heavy
and resulted in big prices for mums,
both at wholesale and retail. In some
of the stores in the heart of the city
there was a line of young people wait-
ing to buy one or more yellow mums.

Various Notes.

Michael Bloy has formed a partner-
ship with Joseph Streit, formerly of
Buffalo, the firm name being Bloy &
Streit. Mr. Streit, who is an expert
grower, with all due respect to Mr.
Bloy, will be in charge of the growing
end of the business, while Mr. Bloy will
devote his time to the retail end.

The Andrews Flower Shop, formerly
known as the Delray Flower Shop, has
been moved to its new quarters at
Grandy avenue and Pierce street. The
new store was specially built to ac-
commodate this business, which is
owned by Mrs. Julia Andrews.

The Florists’ Review

NASHVILLE, TENN.

The Market.

Another week has given us continued
good weather. There is still plenty of
bloom on the cannas and other bedding
plants, but there will be no more out-
door flowers.

The chrysanthemum season is at its
height and, while there is an abundance
of all varieties, there seems to be
enough demand to take everything. In
fact, the larger retailers agree that
there has been no really salable stock
lost this season. This is certainly a
welcome contrast to last fall, when lit-
erally wagon-loads of as fine mums as
could be grown went to the dump. The
quality of the greater part of the mums
this year does not seem to be up to
that of last season. Of course there
is plenty of stock that is as good as
anyone can grow, but last year it all
seemed to be of this quality.

Roses are. still plentiful, especially
the new varieties. One sees more
Ophelia than he does Killarney, and
more Hoosier Beauty than he does
Richmond. These two new roses are
certainly making a record both as pro-
ducers and as sellers. Beauties are
rather on the scarce side again. Oar-
nations are hardly so plentiful as they
were a month ago, but the quality is
better. All are glad there are no more
of them at present, as they are little in
demand. Orchids are scarce, most of
the stock being shipped in. Valley is
plentiful, perhaps more so than it has
been in months.

There seems to be a larger supply
of Easter lilies this season than is
normal, but they are selling well. In
fact, the trade is more buoyant at
present than it has been for a long
time, going ahead of the best of two
years ago.

Various Notes.

The Joy Floral Co. set a new high-
water mark in brides’ bouquets last
week, for the Caldwell wedding. The
other decorations were equally elabo-
rate. nen >

Floyd Bralliar, of the Hillcrest
School Farm, was out of the city on
business last week.

McIntyre Bros. have their salesroom
full of excellent pot chrysanthemums.
Their carnations are beginning to
show the same. extraordinary quality
that they carried all last winter.

Haury & Sons have their place well
filled with good single chrysanthemum
plants. They are always strong on pot
plants.

Leslie Littell has finished the foun-
dation work on the new house and is
at work on the superstructure. He is
hoping for another fortnight of good
weather.

Frank Cornell is using one of his
houses for carrying pot plants through
the winter for his customers. This is
a profitable line where one has room,
as they require little attention. F. B.

NOVEMBER 11, 1915,

CINCINNATI.

The Market.

Business last week was not any too
brisk. There was so large a supply of
stock that it was impossible to move
it entirely. As a result, somewhat low
prices were the rule. Shipping business
is good. Roses are in heavy supply and
generally are of good quality. Carna-
tions are plentiful. Lilies are not meet-
ing with an active market and have
accumulated in the wholesale houses.
Chrysanthemums, including pompons,
are abundant and of excellent quality.
Other offerings include valley, violets,
sweet peas and orchids.

Club Meeting.

The regular meeting of the Cincin-
nati Florists’ Society was held at J. A.
Peterson’s. The florists first inspected
the greenhouses and found everything
in first-class shape. A new red seed-
ling begonia, unnamed as yef, made a
favorable impression on the visitors,
while the other begonias, Mrs. J. A.
Peterson, Melior and Cincinnati, were
up to their usual high standard. Other
stock that-won praise included Peter-
son’s own strain of cyclamens, Pan-
danus Veitchii and bird’s-nest ferns.

After the meeting and a luncheon
served by Mrs. Peterson, she and Clar-
ence Peterson showed lantern slides of
pictures taken on the trip of Mr. and
Mrs. Peterson to the coast during the
summer,

Frank Schramm was elected a mem-
ber of the society. Robert Newcomb
honored the society by his presence.
The hosts received a hearty vote of
thanks for their generous hospitality.

Various Notes.

C. E. Critchell, Max Rudolph, Fred
Gear and George Tromey expect to at-
tend the Cleveland show this week.
J. A. Peterson says that he does not
intend to go, but the odds are fifty to
one that he will.

Mr. and Mrs. Clarence Ohmer and
Master Jim Ohmer left for their home
at. West Palm Beach November 6.

A Greenhouse on Broadway
Built on the Roof

Another Jacobs Greenhouse was
completed for C. C. Trepel, at 89th
Street and Broadway, New York.
This was an undertaking few
greenhouse builders would have
attempted. Our plans were ac-
cepted by all Departments of the
City of New York, and the finished
job was approved by them.

Besides building a very modern and
up-to-date Greenhouse, we also in-
stalled an electric elevator which
runs from the store to the roof,
making it easily accessible for cus-
tomers.

No matter how difficult your green-
house problems are, we have
engineering brains to solve them—
besides, we can save money for you.

The full iron frame Metropolitan Patented

Huguenot Park, Staten Island, N.Y. One of the
many striking examples of Metropolitan effi- ©
ciency.

While it is our iron bound custom to live up
to every term and condition which we might
arrange with our customers, we strive never-
theless, whenever possible for our patrons’
benefit, to even go beyond them when an oppor-
tunity arises whereby we can effect an extra
saving in either the construction, heating or
maintenance of the greenhouse.

This is but part of our service, and despite
the fact that we consider every contract a
pledge to do as we have promised, there is, how-
ever, a personal pride we take in doing our work
as nearly perfect as possible.

There is a personality about the Metropolitan
organization which is ever on the alert for any-
thing that might benefit our clients.

The Market.

Business during the first week of No-
vember was all that had been expected.
Orders were numerous and stock was in
prime condition and commanded good
prices. Outdoor plants are about gone,
hardy chrysanthemums and a_ few
cosmos being all that is left of the
autumn flowers. The flower shops pre-
sent attractive sights, with the many
mammoth chrysanthemum blooms on
display in the windows and in the
stores. Chadwick and Jones are the
latest varieties to arrive on the mar-
ket. Pompons, both cut and in pots,
are selling well and are exceedingly
plentiful. Carnations still are scarce
and the prices for them remain rather
high. Roses are in good supply and
are of first quality, especially Sunburst,
Shawyer and Russell. Violets are be-
ing shown, but there is not much de-
mand for them. In the greenhouses,
the Christmas stock of blooming plants
is making a good showing and cycla-
mens, begonias, poinsettias and prim-
roses are in splendid condition. Sev-
eral concerns have received their aza-
leas.

Various Notes.

Will J. Vesey, Jr., accompanied by
his father, Judge W. J. Vesey, were at
Chicago this week to attend the flower
show. W. J. Vesey, Jr., is preparing
to remove from his present home to
his handsome new residence on Thomp-
son avenue, near the Vesey greenhouses.

The Bradley Flower Shop enjoyed a
brisk business last week, the demand
centering on cut flowers for parties, re-
ceptions and weddings. The store is
showing excellent Jones chrysanthe-
mums and Wells’ Late Pink. The sale
of pompon chrysanthemum plants has
been large.

A new store has been opened at 828
Calhoun street, under the name of the
Fort Wayne Flower Shop.

“HARMONY AND ae __
HARD WORK”

When the Cleveland craftsmen adopted their motto for. the autumn
show they had it in mind to demonstrate to the trade what intelligent, con-
certed effort can do to arouse popular interest: in flowers, but the re-
sults achieved surpassed even the most .sanguine expectations.

The

show was in many respects the most successful ever held in America.

HE Cleveland flower show
was a really wonderful ex-
hibition, but the most re-
markable part of it was
the success that attended
the efforts to attract a
crowd. While the show
was unquestionably good,
there have been many
others equally strong in
competitive exhibits and in non-com-
petitive retail displays, but there never
as been an exhibition in America that
was viewed by anything like so large
a percentage of the people of the city
in which it was held. Nor has there
ever been a local autumn show that
attracted so large a number of trade
visitors. Indeed, the attendance of
the trade was larger than in the case
of any of the S. A. F. conventions since
the one held at Chicago four years ago.
How well the trade was pleased with
the show was evidenced by the num-
ber of cases in which one member of
a firm attended early in the week and,
returning home, sent his partner or
employees. There were many such
instances. :

A Big Crowd.

The Cleveland flo-
rists had an early start
on their show—it was
announced more than
a year ago—and they
obtained the codpera-
tion of the Chrysan-
themum Society of
America, the American

the other fourth to the retailers’ ex-
hibits,, which constituted, as frequent-
ly happens, the most attractive part of
the show. It: was in the retailers’
quarter that the largest crowd always
was. to be’ found. The big posts that

cedar bark, with a big bunch of wild

ter effect than anybody prevfously has
obtained in the room.

In size the show came up to the most
sanguine expectations; there was all
the stock that could be used;. indeed,
after the first day much of the effect
of the splendid mums was lost by the
necessity of crowding them to make
room, first for the roses and then for
the carnations. This was regretted, as
it was recognized on every hand that
the showing of mums was unusually
strong—probably it deserves to. be
called the best. ever seen in this coun-
try, for the growers from all sections
seem to have reserved their best blooms
this year for the Cleveland show. The

The Retailers.

Cleveland long has
been noted for the way
its many first-class re-
tailers have turned out
and worked together.
while meeting in the
keenest kind of compe-
tition for prizes. In
other cities the retail-
ers have not been so
interested. But it ap-
pears that there has
been, even in Cleve-
land, some heart-burn-
ing over the distribu-
tion of blue ribbons,
for this time the retail
section was non-com-
petitive. A large sec-
tion of the hall was
transformed as much
as might be into a gar-
den, with arbor. en-
trances through a
hedge of boxwoods.
Here eleven retailers
maintained dinner ta-
ble decorations
throughout the show.
By -common consent,
nothing elaborate was
undertaken, but a fresh
decoration was put on

HE Cleveland flower show

was a really wonderful ex-

hibition, but the most re-

markable part of it was

the sueecss that attended

& the efforts to attract a

crowd. While the show

was unquestionably good,

there have been many

others equally strong in

competitive exhibits and in non-com

petitive retail displays, but there never

has been an exhibition in America that

was viewed by anything like so laree

a percentage of the people of the city

in which it was held. Nor has there

ever been a loval autumn show that

attracted so large a number of. trade

visitors. Indeed, the attendance of

the trade was larger than in the conse

of any of the S. A. F. conventions since

the one held at Chicago four years ago.

IIow well the trade was pleased with

the show was evidenced by the itm

ber of cases in which one member ot

a firm attended early in the week and,

returning home, sent his

employees. There were
instances.

A Big Crowd.

The Cleveland _ flo-
rists had an early start
on their show—it was
announced more than
a year ago—and they
obtained the coopera-
tion of the Chrysan-
themum Society of
America, the American
Carnation Society and
the American Rose So-
ciety. These helpet ‘to
make the show and, in
a measure, the attend-
ance of the trade, but
it was the local hustle
that made the public

each day. The following cards ap-
peared: Jones-Russell Co., Knoble
Bros., J. M. Gasser Co., Smith & Fetters
Co., Westman & Getz, James Eadie Co.,
T. J. Kegg Co., A. M. Albrecht, E. A.
Wilhelmy, C. M. Wagner and Christine.

In the other end of the garden each
retailer was offered space for a table
and here the most beautiful corner of
the whole show was found. Some of
the tables were extremely elaborate and
each day they were redecorated with
fresh bouquets, baskets, hampers and
novel arrangements of flowers. The
colors here were bright and gay and
the display quite the most pleasing of
anything seen this season. Those whose
cards were on these tables were:
Knoble Bros., J. M. Gasser Co., Smith
& Fetters Co., Jones-Russell Co., West-
man & Getz, James Eadie Co., A. M.
Albrecht, G. W. Mercer, W. A. Calhoun,
D. Charlesworth & Son, C. M. Wagner
and T. J. Kegg Co.

The Big Cut Mums.

There was a splendid showing of
cut chrysanthemums; so good, in fact,
that it was impossible to stage them
properly and they were badly crowded
together after the first day, so that
much of the effect was lost. Turner
was easily the leading variety; nothing
in the show that showed size and finish
to compare with it. For a commercial
white, White Chieftain was the variety
that looked most worth the average
grower’s attention. In yellow, Odessa
carried off the honors as an exhibition
variety, but those who sought a com-
mercial yellow that might prove an
easier doer than Bonnaffon saw little of
promise. The McCallum Co., Pitts-
burgh, showed a yellower sport of Yel-
low Eaton, named Mrs. M. R. Morgan
after the foreman’s wife, that will be
disseminated next year and which
should make a place for itself on its
color. In pink, Elberon, Wm. Duckham
and Meudon were fine for show, but
Chieftain, which was shown by many
exhibitors, seemed to hold the most
interest for the commercial growers.

The collections of the disseminators
of novelties contained some fine blooms,
but the raisers of new varieties of late
years seem to have given their atten-
.tion to exhibition varieties rather than
to those the average florist can grow
to make money.

The awards in the open classes for
cut mums were:

Singles and Pompons.

The show was notably strong on
single and pompon chrysanthemums.
Several disseminators had offered spe-
cial premiums and the entries were ex-
tremely numerous, the varieties shown
including many that still are without
name. The impression created was that
there are far too many varieties of
this class and that the average grower
will content himself with a few kinds
adapted to the trade he caters to, with-
out ‘trying to keep up to the times.
The awards were:

Twenty sprays any pink single—E. G. Hill Co.,
Richmond, Ind., first.

Twenty sprays any white single—Dale Estate,
Brampton, Ont., first.

The Roses.

This seems to be a rose year, for
the stock shown is extremely fine and
the competition is keen, the awards
well scattered. This was the case at
Cleveland, where the roses were one
of the special features of the show.
Exhibits came from Wisconsin, Michi-
gan, Indiana, Massachusetts, Connect-
icut, Rhode Island, Pennsylvania, New
Jersey, New York and Canada, as well
as from Ohio. Mrs. Russell was the
variety that attracted most trade in-
terest, but Ophelia seemed to get more
notice from the public. The number
of varieties represented in the awards
was unusually large. It gave F. R.
Pierson special pleasure to win on vase
of 150 blooms arranged for effect, over
several other good entries.

The class for novelties brought out
five entries. The medal went to Waban
Rose Conservatories, for Mrs. Bayard
Thayer, which had special interest for
western growers who are doing Russell
so well, it being a light pink sport of
that variety. E. G. Hill Co. showed
Tipperary, yellow, seedling. C. H.
Totty entered Gorgeous, a sport of Mrs.
Shawyer. A. N. Pierson put in two

new ones, Mrs. W. R. Hearst, a darker
sport’ of Maryland, and Red Radiance,
what its name implies, Prima Donna,
shown by Florex Gardens, also was new
to most of the trade visitors.

The awards on roses were:

Twenty-five blooms, any variety not yet in
commerce—Waban Rose Conservatories, Natick,
Mass., first, on Mrs. Bayard Thayer.

Prettiest exhibit of roses in thé show—J. H.
Dunlop, Toronto, who staged eight varieties,
all notably fine.

The judges scored the new roses as
follows: Tipperary, 74; Red Radiance,
81; Gorgeous, 83; Mrs. Hearst, 87; Mrs.

Bayard Thayer, 90.
The Carnations.

Considering the strength of the show-
ing in other lines and the number of
growers who are in position to exhibit,
the entries for carnations were not so
numerous as one would have expected.
But whatever was lacking in quantity
was fully made up for by quality; the
carnations certainly were superb and
it is probable no better showing ever
has been made in November. Mrs.
Ward easily was the leader in its color
and, indeed, it is doubtful if that vari-
ety ever has been so well shown in the
fall of the year as was done by the
Cleveland Cut Flower Co. Matchless
was ahead of all other whites, but Pink
Delight and Enchantress Supreme were
more nearly on an even footing as to
quality.

When it came to novelties, the Cot-
tage Gardens, Queens, N. Y., had a
splendid thing in Crystal White, which
won the A. C. 8. silver medal. The
same exhibitor showed Cottage Maid,
light pink. The J. D. Thompson Car-
nation Co., Joliet, Ill., won the A. C. S.
bronze medal with Aviator and ob-
tained a silver medal for Superb, a
light pink exhibited for the first time
at Indianapolis a year ago. Comet,
white, was the third of the Thompson
trio of novelties. Certificates of merit

the whole show was found. Some oft
the tables were extremely elaborate and
with

fresh bouquets, baskets, hampers and
novel arrangements of flowers. The

the display quite the most pleasing of

The Big Cut Mums.

There was a splendid showing of
eut chrysanthemums; so good, in fact,
that it impossible to stage them
properly and they were badly crowded
together after the first day, so that
much of the effeet was Jost. Turner
was easily the leading variety; nothing
in the show that showed size and finish
to compare with it. For a commercial
white, White Chieftain was the variety
that looked most worth the average
grower’s attention. In yellow, Odessa
carried off the honors as an exhibition
variety, but those who sought a com-
mercial vellow that might prove an
easier doer than Bonnaffon saw little of
promise, The McCallum Co., Pitts-
burgh, showed a vellower sport of Yel-
low Eaton, named Mrs. M. R. Morgan
after the foreman’s wife, that will be
disseminated next year and which
should make ww place for itself on its
In pink, HKiberon, Wm. Duckham
and Meudon were fine for show, but
Chieftain, which was shown by many
exhibitors, seemed to hold the most
interest for the commercial growers.

The collections of the disseminators
of novelties contained some fine blooms,
but the raisers of new varieties of late
years seem to have given their atten-
tion to exhibition varieties rather than

Singles and Pompons.

The show was notably strong on
single and pompon chrysanthemums.
Several disseminators had offered spe-
cial premiums and the entries were ex-
tremely numerous, the varieties shown
including many that still are without
name. The impression created was that
there are far too many varieties of
this class and that the average grower
will content himself with a few kinds
adapted to the trade he caters to, with-
out trying to keep up to the times.
The awards were:

Twenty sprays any pink single—E. G. Hill Co.,

The Roses.

This seems to be a rose year, for
the stock shown is extremely fine and

the competition is keen, the awards
well seattered. This was the case at
Cleveland, where the roses were one

features of the show.
Exhibits came from Wisconsin, Michi-
gan, Indiana, Massachusetts, Connect-
icut, Rhode Island, Pennsylvania, New
Jersey, New York and Canada, as well
as from Ohio. Mrs. Russell was the
variety that attracted most trade in-
terest, but Ophelia seemed to get more
notice from the publie. The number
of varieties represented in the awards
was unusually large. It gave KF. R.
Pierson special pleasure to win on vase
of 150 blooms arranged for effeet, over
several other good entries.

The class for novelties brought out
five entries. The medal went to Waban
Rose Conservatories, for Mrs. Bayard
Thayer, which had special interest for
western growers who are doing Russell
so well, it being a light pink sport of
that variety. KH. G. Hill Co. showed
Tipperary, yellow, seedling. C. H.
Totty entered Gorgeous, a sport of Mrs.
Shawyer. A. N. Pierson put in’ two

of the special

new ones, Mrs. W. R. Hearst, a darker
sport of Maryland, and Red Radiance,
what its name implies. Prima Donna,
shown by Florex Gardens, also was new
to most of the trade visitors.

The awards on roses were:

Twenty-five blooms, any variety not yet In
commerce—Waban Rose Conservatories, Natick,
Mass., first, on Mrs. Bayard Thayer.

The Carnations.

Considering the strength of the show-
ing in other lines and the number of
vrowers who are in position to exhibit,
the entries for carnations were not so
numerous as one would have expected.
But whatever was lacking in quantity
was fully made up for by quality; the
carnations certainly were superb and
it is probable no better showing ever
has been made in November. Mrs.
Ward easily was the leader in its color
and, indeed, it is doubtful if that vari-
ety ever has been so well shown in the
fall of the year as was done by the
Cleveland Cut Flower Co. Matchless
was ahead of all ether whites, but Pink

more nearly on an even

Chrysanthemum Plants.

It was in chrysanthemum, plants that
the Cleveland show was weakest, but
with the large quantity of material in
the hall no one noticed that the mum
plants were few and small. Appreciat-
ing that big plants are not grown
around Cleveland, the management had
arranged with John Canning for one of
the monster specimens grown on the
Lewisohn estate at Ardsley, N. Y., and
the big plant was one of the features of
the show and probably the best adver-
tising card the management had. Mr.
Canning and two dssistants came with

cial aspect, to bring in other interests
and to lend variety to the show, special
provision was. made for exhibits from
private growers. A full list of classes
was provided. open only to private peo-
ple and a special space approximately
one-quarter of the hall was set apart
for the exhibits. The result was a fine
display in this section, almost a com-
plete flower show in itself.

The rule was that entries be made
in the name of the owner, but the
jeader in this départment of the show
was Robert Weeks, gardener for the
Misses Holden, who took nineteen pre-
miums. Another exhibitor with many
entries was Herbert B. Rapley, gar-
dener for Mrs. Price McKinney, Wick-
liffe, O., who took seventeen premiums.
George Jacques, gardener for W.~-G.
Mather, took seven awards. Other
leading exhibitors and prize winners
were F. S. Drury, Cleveland; H. 8.

Cleveland; Woodside Farms, West Park,
O.;. Mrs. Chas. A. Otis, Willoughby, O.;

J.; C. B. Raymond, Akron, 0.; Frank
Allan, Grosse Pointe, Mich.; Chas. W.
Euston, Buffalo, and Anna Dean Farm,
Barberton, O. The display of fruits
and vegetables was a center of interest.
The most curious plant in the show
was Mr. Rapley’s Polypodium aureum
on a stump of tree fern.

The Judges.

The judging was a difficult task, by
reason of the constantpresence of large
crowds as well as because of the, lose
competition in many-¢lasses, but’ was
expertly done by the following board:

Emil Buettner. Park Ridge, Ill. :
Eugene Dailledouze, Flatbush, N. Y.

J. F. Ammann, Edwardsville, Il.
J. H. Dunlop, Toronto, Ont.

M. Bloy, Detroit, Mich.

R. Witterstaetter, Cincinnati, O.
Wm. Nicholson, Framingham, Mass.

The Management.

The executive secretary of the show
was. M; A. Vinson, a man of experience
in arousing the interest of the public,
but he had a staff of splendid workers.

lows:

General Committee—H. P. Knoble, general

Flower Show Small Talk.

The managers, exhibitors and trade
visitors, instead of tickets, all had
badges to admit them to the show.
Each badge had a little card in a frame
at the top, in which the wearer’s name

sprinted. If you were not too near-
sighted you could make believe you
knew everybody real well, and get
away with it the way the good sales-
men do.

Alongyall. Cleveland’s principal busi-
ness streets the:show management cov-
ered the lamp. posts with birchbark and
tied on a big bunch of wild smilax,

hig bay tree. A big green arrow on

each ‘‘tree’’ pointed ‘‘This way. to
the flower show.’’ It was a clever ad-
vertising idea and one that shows how
well the show stood with the municipal
authorities.

Wallace R. Pierson made his first ap-
pearance away from home since his
illness and operation at San Francisco
during the 8. A. F. convention. He
looked as well as ever and certainly was
as active. Incidentally he picked up a
half-dozen novelties that in a year or
two will come out under the Pierson
banner. From Robert Weeks he ob-
tained one plant of the single yellow
pompon that won the sweepstakes in
the gardeners’ classes; there are only
nine plants in existence, Dale Estate
having got seven, the other to be re-
tained by Mr. Weeks. From Fred
Pautke, Grosse Pointe, Mich., Mr. Pier-
son obtained all the stock of a set of
five pompons to be disseminated in
1917. Of one of these, a fine light pink,
it is related that Mr. Pautke received
an automobile for naming it Geraldine
Dodge, after the daughter of the manu-
facturer of the machine.

John D. Rockefeller made a goodly
donation to the show (not the fabulous
sum the press reports said) and it was
announced it was to ‘‘let the school
children in.’’ The first day the police
arrangements failed and the streets
were blockaded, but’ other mornings
plenty of officers were on duty and for
hours the youngsters poured along a
roped-off line of march through the
show. In a great many thousands of
homes the flower show was described
by youngsters who never had seen one
before. It made the show the most
talked of event_in Cleveland that week.

During the show C. H. Totty’s new
pink rose was named Cleveland, as the
result of a voting contest. It is a
Dickson seedling. Near it stood a half

dozen blooms of the new Smith mum
for which President Wilson suggested
the name Tiger because of its resem-
blance to the Princeton color. ‘‘ Well,
they don’t look a lot different from a
good many others we’ve seen,’’ was
the comment one of the lady visitors
was heard to pass.

Just after the show opened the news-
papers printed big scare heads about
the big storm coming out of the north-
west. As the show ran along with
beautiful weather, the management

sent a big bouquet to the weather office:

with a note of appreciation for side-
tracking the blizzard.

C. H. Totty appeared with a thumb,
on his right hand, that looked like a
ham. On the way out a lurch of the
train threw him into a closing door just
in time to get badly-crushed. After
a night sleepless with pain, a Cleveland
surgeon removed several pieces of bone
and dressed the injury, but Mr. Totty
will eat with his left hand for some
time.

Ad Qa eA

Because so many of the exhibitors
at 8. A. F. conventions were prevented
from making their usual August dis-
plays, the Cleveland show managers de-
cided to admit strictly trade displays
to their show and to permit those whose
purpose was purely commercial to help
meet the expenses of the show. The
result was that a space fifteen feet
deep extending clear around the great
hall was sold to those whose intention
it was to take orders, and even then
it was necessary to locate several of
the exhibits out on the floor among the
competitive entries. The sale of space
brought in $5,600, or a little more than
one-third the cost of the show.

A curious combination resulted, some
of the exhibitors having no interest in
the public, addressing their appeal to
the trade visitors only, while others
sought retail business exclusively;
some sought both trade and public pat-
ronage. For those dealing with trade
visitors only, the crush in the aisles
the greater part of the time shortened
the hours during which business could
be done, but nearly all reported enough
orders to make the week a profitable
one. The trade exhibitors were:

A. N. Pierson, Cromwell, Conn., had
a corner of the building for a large
display featuring hardy pompon and
single chrysanthemums. Among _ the
many varieties shown, the pompon
Peace and the new bronze single, Ra-
mona, also the new pompon, Hilda
Canning, bronze button type, were
given conspicuous places and highly
commended. Golden Gleam, a new
large-flowering yellow, was featured.
Among roses Mrs. W. R. Hearst, Red
Radiance, Hoosier Beauty and Hadley
were to the front.

Charles H. Totty, Madison, N. J.,
had a large display of single, semi-

first appearance at this show, of which '

F. A. Friedley was manager. The in-
terests heretofore in the James Eadie
Co. have been divided. Frank Schoen
will retain the retail store and the
old name. Mr. Friedley takes the green-
houses and will grow for the wholesale
market. ~ ‘

R. Vingent, Jr., was busy proselyting
for the American Dahlia Society. Of
its 300 members sixty are in the S. A.
F. and he wants forty more, so the
dahlia president can sit with the 8S. A.
F. directors. Incidentally, Mr. Vincent
claims great credit for having intro-
duced hardy pompon chrysanthemums
in this country some fifteen years ago.
He says that they met with little favor
at first, but now hold a place fully as
important as the big mums.

double and pompon chrysanthemums, all
hardy in New Jersey. Among some
fifty varieties he featured the new sin-
gle, Excelsior. His novelties for this
season in large-flowering mums are Yel-
low Turner, Morris Kinney, white, and
Mrs. J. Gibson. In his exhibit were
Gorgeous, the sport of Mrs. Shawyer,
and the Dickson seedling that was
named Cleveland at this show. Mr.
Totty also staged several vases of sweet
peas grown by George T. Schuneman.

Robert Craig Co., Philadelphia, had
a large display of-Christmas flowering
plants and of decorative plants, with
dracenas and crotons, as usual, well to
the front. The crotons were large, fine

pieces in the best varieties and there
were three good seedlings that were at
this time given the names of some of
Cleveland’s leading women. The ex-
hibit and the first prize competitive
entry were sold to Smith & Fetters Co.

F, R. Pierson Co., Tarrytown, N. Y.,
made its usual fine display of ferns,
from Boston on down to the youngest
of its progeny; also of Sunburst roses
and the new pink mum, Lillian Doty.

Henry A. Dreer, Philadelphia, showed
a large line of palms, ferns and other
plants, including a fine display of Adi-
antum California, a variety that re-
cently has been attracting attention in
the trade the world around.

Roman J. Irwin, New York, had.a
large display of plants, principally of
such varieties as florists buy for grow-

the trade’s section, the greenhouse de-
partment being represented by palms,
ferns, flowering and decorative plants,
while the nursery department was to
the front with a large line of ever-
greens in tubs.

J. L. Schiller, Toledo, O., had a large
display of his seasonable specialties for
the trade, hydrangeas, ericas, solanums.
and primulas.

an exceptionally pretty display, a play-
ing fountain surrounded by aquatic
plants, the principal one being his new

Bowling Tournament.

Taking advantage of the fact that
there was no intercity bowling match
at the 8S. A. F. convention, the Cleve-
land flower show managers arranged
for one November 11, but the response
was not so large as anticipated, indi-
cating that the younger generation are
not so greatly interested in this form
of sport as were their fathers, Four
teams entered, rolling the following
scores in three games:

Buffalo. Rochest

The ten high men, each of whom re-
ceived a prize, in the individual con-
test were:

The five high individuals and the
high man on each of the city teams
then rolled three games for a life mem-
bership in the 8. A. F., to be paid for

The Banquet.

The Cleveland Florists’ Club enter-
tained. the trade visitors at a banquet,
November 12, at the Hollenden hotel,
when the enjoyment of the menu was
heightened by a cabaret, the four young
ladies who passed between the tables
as they sang gathering up most of the
flowers in the room, presented by the
impressionable, let us say, bachelors
among the diners.

At the conclusion of the repast and
the musical entertainment the hour had
grown so late that many of those called
on for ‘‘remarks,’’ not speeches, al-
ready had gone, either to catch trains

or to bed. Frank Williams, who made
an excellent toastmaster, obtained re-
sponses from the following: Herbert
Bate, president of the Cleveland Flo-
rists’ Club; Wm. Kleinheinz, president
of the Chrysanthemum Society — of
America; Joseph Hill, president of the
American Carnation Society; A. S.
Baldwin, who spoke for the amateurs;
R. Vincent, Jr., president of the Amer-
ican Dahlia Society; Wm. F. Gude, who
spoke for the 8. A. F.; Irwin Berter-
mann, president, and Albért Pochelon,
secretary, of the Florists’ Egy ity
Delivery; J. F. Ammann and Wm. Nich-
olson, who spoke for the judges, and
from several others.
Telegrams of greeting and felicita-
tion on the success of the exhibition
were read from President Welch, of the
8S. A. F., and from A. Henderson, chair-
man of the Chicago show management.

The Smoker.

The festivities of the week closed
with a smoker at the Moose Club Sat-
urday night at which more than 300
were present. There was an abundance
of smoke and refreshments and the
same aggregation of vaudevillians that
appeared at the banquet the night be-
fore, with the addition of one or two
numbers specially for the late-stayers.
George Washington Smith, who had not
had an idle moment in many days, was
master of ceremonies.

Pt

The Chrysanthemum Society.

The Cleveland show was a celebra-
tion of the silver jubilee of the Chrys-
anthemum Society of America and at
the twenty-fifth annual business meet-
ing of the organization, held at the
Hollenden hotel November 11, Presi-
dent Kleinheinz spoke in his address of
the debt due to the first corps of offi-
cers, all passed away. They were:
President, John Thorpe; vice-president,
Wm. K. Harris; treasurer, John Lane;
secretary, Edwin Lonsdale. President
Kleinheinz also asserted that there is
a ery that the demand for the chrys-
anthemum is waning and refuted it
with force, saying, ‘‘ Why should mums
become less popular? See in the ex-
hibits the progress being made; the
large-flowering type is increased year-
ly in size and the present pompons and
singles are superior to the varieties of
the past.’’ Secretary Johnson . and
Treasurer May submitted their annual
reports.

An animated discussion followed the
report of the registration of new vari-
eties and action was taken to prevent
the renaming of old varieties or the
use of different names for similar sports
from two or more sources. On motion
of Elmer D. Smith it was voted to
strike the name Ivory Supreme from
the records of the society on the ground
that the variety is identical with Chas.
Rager.

The election of officers resulted as
follows:

President—Wm. Kleinheinz, Ogontz,
Pa., reélected.

MANY TRADE SOCIETIES
MET AT CLEVELAND .

Vice -president— Wm. Vert, Port
Washington, N. Y.

Secretary—Chas. W. Johnson, Mor-
gan Park, IIl., reélected.

Treasurer—John N. May, Summit, N.
J., reélected.

It was decided to hold the twenty-
sixth annual meeting at Philadelphia
in November, 1916, in conjunction with
the autumn show of the Penmsylvania
Horticultural Society.

Florists’ Telegraph Delivery.

At Cleveland, November 11, the F.
T. D. held the best meeting in its his-
tory. There were forty-five retail flo-
rists present. After a few words of
greeting, President Irwin Bertermann
turned over the chair to J. A. Valen-
tine, of Denver, who was the founder
and first president of the organization,
but who has not been able to attend
its recent meetings.

The principal matter before the meet-
ing had to do with the failure of the
members to report, in accordance with
the requirements of the by-laws, all
accounts with other members unpaid
after thirty days. It was well known
that the failure to take prompt action
has resulted, in certain cases, in mem-
bers accumulating liabilities in excess
of their deposit with the society. After
a long discussion it was decided to seek
to remedy the condition by an amend-
ment to the by-laws by virtue of which
a debtor shall forfeit his right to twen-
ty per cent discount on any bill per-
mitted to go unpaid over thirty days;
and providing that any debtor shall be
dropped from the membership if he

does not pay his bills immediately the
secretary notifies him of a delinquency.
It also was voted to make it the duty
of the secretary to inquire into the re-
sponsibility of applicants for member-
ship.

The secretary was authorized to pre-
pare a demonstration exhibit for the
Philadelphia national show for the pur-
pose of acquainting the public with the
method by which flowers are delivered
by telegraph.

There were reports by Secretary
Pochelon and Treasurer Rock, showing
the organization’s condition, and sev-
eral hours were devoted to discussion
of means of extending the work.

American Carnation Society.

A meeting of the board of directors
of the American Carnation Society was
held at Cleveland November 12, Presi-
dent Joseph Hill, Vice-president J. F.
Ammann and Secretary A. F. J. Baur
all being present. The premium list for
the annual exhibition at St. Louis in
January was adopted as submitted and
a tentative program for the convention
was arranged. Vice-president Ammann
reported on arrangements and predicted
a most successful meeting.

The premium list for the carnation
section at the national show in Phila-
delphia also was submitted and ap-
proved. Inasmuch as this is the silver
jubilee of the society, it was decided
to have a special die made and to offer
a silver medal in addition to the cash
first premium in each class for 100 car-
nations and for fifty carnations in the
Philadelphia exhibition.

American Rose Society.

There was an excellent meeting of
the American Rose Society at Cleve-
land November 11, President S. 8. Pen-
nock, Treasurer Harry May and Secre-
tary Benjamin Hammond and nineteen
other members present, including Ex-
president Pierson. After general dis-
cussion of the society’s work it was
decided to modify the rule prohibiting
more than one pinch in producing stock
exhibited at the society’s exhibitions,
to allow two pinches on roses used for
arrangements for effect.

The premium list for the rose section
of the Philadelphia national show was
discussed and approved. Philip Breit-
meyer announced an offer of $225 as
first prize for a group of rose plants
in pots or tubs to be competed for at
Philadelphia.

THE GRAND FLORAL FESTIVAL.

Attendance a Disappointment.

The story of the opening days of the
excellent Chicago show was told fully,
in text and pictures, in The Review for
November 11. The attendance during
the last four days of the show increased
steadily, but did not come up to the
sanguine expectations of the manage-
ment, although it culminated November
14 in the largest Sunday attendance a
Chicago flower show has ever attracted.
The last day was set aside as working-
man’s day, with a reduced admission

Ohio Gladiolus Society.

The Ohio Gladiolus Society held an
adjourned meeting at Cleveland Novem-

election of officers, which resulted as
follows:

President—C. B. Gates, Mentor, O.

Vice-president—Joe Coleman, Lex-
ington, O.

Secretary-treasurer—Wilbur A. Chris-

fee, and the returns showed that the
experiment fully justified its trial.

Carnations.

The carnation proved it had lost none
of its popularity by the enthusiasm
the large and fine display evoked. The
entries of the older varieties attracted
much attention because of quality unu-
sually good for November, but the chief
interest was held by the new candi-
dates for favor. Among these, Belle
Washburn, staged by Bassett & Wash-
burn, called forth many expressions of
admiration. This exhibitor also showed
Helen Washburn, dark pink, in good

form. A vase of Nebraska, the new
red to be disseminated this winter by
C. H. Frey, of Lincoln, Neb., attracted
much attention. The new scarlet, Avi-
ator, a production of the J. D. Thomp-
son Carnation Co., Joliet, Ill, caused
much discussion among the commercial
growers and found many champions.
Superb, light pink, also shown by the
Thompson Carnation Co., was looked
over as a possible successor to En-
chantress. Thompson’s Comet was the
best white seedling. A red seedling
grown by Anton Then, and introduced
by John Then as No. 701, was the cen-
ter of an admiring crowd from the time
it was staged. It took the sweepstakes
prize.

The awards in the carnation classes
were:

Fifty blooms White Wonder—Bassett & Wash-
burn, Chicago, first; J. D. Thompson Carnation

HOLYOKE, MASS.

The fleeting wings of time are sight
brought foreibly to mind by the oceur-
rence of another annual flower show
under the auspices of the Holyoke and
Northampton Florists’ and Gardeners’
Club. This. year’s show, the third an-
nual exhibition given by the club, was
held November 3 and 4, at Windsor
hall, Holyoke, Mass., and, as is proper,
it surpassed the previous ‘exhibitions in
the matter of attendance and in quan-
tity and quality of exhibits.

Easily the:chief interest of the show

was centered in the judging of the spe-

cial: class of chrysanthemums for: the
silver loving cup offered by Miss Isabel
Skinner, to be won three times in sue-

NEWARE, N. J.

Nearly 10,000 people attended the
first annual chrysanthemum show of the
Essex County Florists’ Club, which was

held November 11 and 12, in the audi-.

torium of Bamberger & Co., Newark.
This was the first big public show to
be held under the auspices of the club
and was quite creditable for a first at-
tempt, being highly commended by the
general public and the trade. Bam-
berger & Co. not only donated the use
of the hall, which is conveniently lo-
cated in the center of the business sec-
tion of the city, but also two fine silver
cups as sweepstake prizes for the best
growers’ and retail dealers’ exhibits.
While chrysanthemums predominated
in the display, there were fine exhibits
of other flowers, as well as mantel deco-

the exhibits were from growers and re-
tailers in Essex county, there were sev-
eral from firms in New York and else-
where. Guttman & Raynor, Inc., of
New York, had a number of exhibits,
among which were some seedling carna-
tions which they have been exhibitin

in several shows. Roman J. Irwin, o

New York, had a display of Bird’s-nest
ferns. Charles H. Totty, of Madison,
N. J., had:a fine collection of pompons.
Frank N. Eskesen, of Madison, N. J.
displayed a group of ferns, and Charles
Weber, of Lynbrook, N.’Y., a bunch of
carnations. The Elizabeth Nursery Co.

of Elizabeth, N. J., also had several”
: exhibits; James Wa

N. J., had a display of roses. McLaugh-
lin & Murphy, of Newark, exhibited a
fine collection of pink Chinese lilies.’ CO.

consisted of the. following: Jacob

secretary; Fred Philips, Augustus Bege-
row and William G. Muller, of Newark;
Joseph Manda, of West Orange, and W.
W. Adams, of East Orange.

None of the stock shown was grown

especially for exhibition purposes. The
show was arranged for with less than
a month’s notice, so the exhibits were
taken from the best as’ grown in the
greenhouses of the county or from the
stock of the retailers.
- One of the objects of the show was to
introduce the work of the Essex County
Florists’ Club to the public in a larger
measure than heretofore, with the spe-
cial thought in mind of paving the way
for something bigger next year to be
held in connection with the celebration
of the two hundred and fiftieth anni-
versary of the founding of Newark.
According to present plans, there will
be an exhibition under the auspices
of the club in the spring, at which there
will be exhibits of window boxes, porch
boxes, hanging baskets and bedding
plants. It is probable that the commit-
tee of 100 in charge of the anniversary
celebration next year will try to get
the people of Newark to use window
boxes and other floral decorations much
more freely than usual next spring and
summer, when, it is expected, many
thousands of people will visit Newark.
The florists of the county will back such
a& movement in every way possible, and
it is with this in view that the show
which the club will hold next spring
will take the line indicated.

The Essex County Florists’ Club,
which was organized a couple of years
ago, now has a membership of seventy-
five. Its regular meetings are held on
the third Thursday of each month, in
the Krueger auditorium. The business
meetings are always followed by a so-
cial hour, with light refreshments.

The awards at the show held last
week were as follows:

Conclusion of Four-day Show.

A marked improvement came over
the annual chrysanthemum show in
Horticultural hall after last week’s is-
sue of The Review went to press. The
exhibits were rearranged; more, many
more came in and the general effect
was excellent. Perhaps the most not-
able arrival was a half dozen plants of
Canna Firebird from Vaughan’s Green-
houses, at Western Springs, Ill. They
were large, evenly developed plants,
carrying immense trusses of bloom of
a bright, rich scarlet that was in strik-
ing contrast with the deep green foli-
age. Just how they arrived in such
perfect condition is a puzzle, for the
canna is by no means a good shipper
ordinarily. Whether it is the fine
quality of Firebird or the way they
grow them out west, or whether they
were grown here, in some quiet cor-
ner, remains to be learned. Anyway,
they were extremely fine. Then,
Nephrolepis John Wanamaker arrived
in splendid form to enhance the beauty
of the exhibit of the Robert Craig Co.

Five blue ribbons were awarded
Louis Burk for his handsome collection
of orchids. His electrically lighted
picture frame, containing the cream of
the collection, will suffice for descrip-
tion. There were two choice plants,
both in bloom; on the left Vanda
Sanderiana, a native of the Philippine
islands; on the right Brasso-Cattleya
Marone, a cross between Brasso Dig-
byana and Cattleya gigas.

The prize offered by the Lord &
Burnham Co. for the three largest
chrysanthemum cut blooms was cap-
tured by John Dunn with a trio of won-
derful flowers. William Turner is a
mighty good subject for such competi-
tion. The lemon yellow sport of this
great white variety topped a _ half
dozen beautiful plants that were much
admired.

Speaking of the Lord & Burnham Co.
brings us to the excellent building ex-
hibits that took up one side of the
lower hall. The King Construction Co.
was at the entrance with garden hose
valves, miniature violet frames, with
Mrs. Sarah I. Smith’s own product
blooming in them, and sundry other
building requisites; the whole edged
with golden pompons, and supervised
by William J. Muth. D. T. Connor
was in charge of the Lord & Burnham

a

The far side was filled by Hitchings &
Co. with an exhibit of building mate-
rial of substantial merit.

Harry 8. Betz put up two fine ex-
hibits across the end of the hall, one
of evergreens, the other of foliage
plants. Strafford, a medium-sized orange
cross between Roman Gold and Charles
Rager, was the feature of Edward A.
Stroud’s exhibit, which was beauti-
fully staged; Strafford is a great com-
mercial: variety, shown for the first
time. The completion of the exhibit
of Richard Vincent, Jr.. & Sons Co.,
White Marsh, Md., brought out some
fine varieties of hardy pompons. The
arrangement of Thomas Meehan &
Sons’ exhibit of hardy varieties clearly
fore-shadowed the removal of this class
to the upper floor; it was too fine to be
placed with the vegetables.

There were three rose exhibitors,
The Joseph Heacock Co. received a

- bronze medal for five vases of well

grown varieties that attracted much at-
tention. They were, in the order
named, Killarney, Hadley, Radiance,
Hoosier Beauty and Killarney Brilliant.
The retailers said Hadley had one on
the western rose; the growers said
Hoosier Beauty was a doer, with 3-foot
stems and no blind wood. The Florex
Gardens, of North Wales, staged
Prima Donna, new here, though not a
new rose; it had magnificent substance,
vivid color and strong stems. Edward
Towill, of Roslyn, staged Hadley, My
Maryland and a yellow seedling, a cross
between Harry Kirk and Lady Hilling-
don. They all made a fine showing.
The four days of the exhibition
brought together many friends, among
those engaged in various branches of
the profession, who rarely meet. These
hearty greetings and comparisons of
ideas afford encouragement and bright-
en work. Phil.

THE AVIATOR RECEPTION.

Announcements were sent out last
week by the J. D. Thompson Carnation
Co., of Joliet, Ill., inviting members of
the trade to visit the greenhouses of
the company November 11 and be the
guests of the new scarlet carnation,
Aviator. At 11 a. m. the visitors met
at the salesroom of Zech & Mann, in
Chicago, and proceeded to the train.
They were: Allie Zech, A. F. Longren,
N. J. Kruchten, J. Ristow, J. A. Paul-
sen, M. H. Mann, H. C. Tilton and
James Morton, all of Chicago; J. B.

After an inspection “of the Aviator
range, which of course-was in excellent
condition, the visitors were entertained
at a luncheon. During this, several
short talks were given by members of
the party. W. H. Amling in his talk
said they had all expeeted to be en-
tertained by a beautiful carnation, but
they had not anticipated a reception by
American beauties. Mr. Amling’s ref-
erence was to the fair members of the
reception committee.

SPRINGFIELD, MO.

The Market.

Business in general shows a steady
improvement. The weather was excep-
tionally fine last week and this brought
stock out in much larger quantities.
The chrysanthemum crop is arriving al-
most too fast and cold, cloudy weather
is necessary to hold back the cut.

Various Notes.

The Summerfield Floral Co. has a
fine cut of all kinds of stock. One
day last week this firm cut from one
house 2,990 carnations. The flowers
were as fine as one would care to see.
The mum crop also is good. This com-
pany held open house at the green-
houses Sunday and had a large ad in
the daily papers to advertise the event.
There was a large crowd on hand Sun-
day morning. Mr. Summerfield has
been under the weather for a few days,
but is now out again.

The Springfield Seed Co. is moving
large quantities of stock. The “roses
and mums are fine. Out-of-town busi-
ness was extra heavy last week.

Rauch Bros. report business much
improved in the new location and be-
lieve that colder weather will make
trade much better.

Visitors last week were: T. H.
Kaptein, of Maltus & Ware, New York;

Visitors at the Establishment of the J. D. Thompson Carnation Co., Joliet, Ill., November 33, 1915.

Thé J. W. Stoked Floral Co. had‘

houses last week. This concern reports
® brisk sales for last week.

MOTT-LY MUSINGS.

Tipton & Hurst, of Little Rock, are
looking for good business and have a
well grown stock in anticipation.

Paul M. Palez will have three stores
on Main street when he opens the lat-
est and finest addition. Little Rock is
a progressive city.

Kramer & Son, of Cedar Rapids, Ia.,
find the strawberry crop a profitable
one. This was an especially long sea-
‘son for strawberry plants. A larger
area will be planted next year. Early
mums sold slowly, but liberal advertis-
ing brought about better returns.

Joseph Haube, of Charleroi, Pa., has

been growing some prize mums. Mr.
Haube was one of the: florists who
visited the Cleveland flower show

last week.

I. V. Kinder, of Charleroi, had a
unique display in his window some time
ago, which caught the eyes of old and
young alike. The display consisted of
two guinea pigs in a garden of flowers,
moss and stones. Bulbs and ferns were
featured.

D. C. Hogan, proprietor of the Idle
Hour Nurseries, of Macon, Ga., was
absent at the time of my visit, being
on the grand jury. Store Manager W.
R. Gibson, lately of the Quaker City,
expressed agreeable surprise at the con-
ditions here. The latest ideas in flower
baskets, for arrivals to and departures
from this busy sphere, are in high
favor. Corsage bouquets of the choic-
est flowers are popular. The catchy
ecard in The Review is credited with
bringing good business from practically
all: parts of the country.‘ By the way,
the banjo-player ofthe. ad has devel-
oped into a floral artist.. The superin-
tendent of the greenhouses, Carl Shatz-
man, brother-in-law of Mr. Hogan,
takes pride in the 100,000 feet of glass
under his supervision. He tells me his
greatest feat is to grow the carnation
right, it being subject to many dis-
eases. Roses are a success, as is shown
by the record of Killarney. From 1,100
grafted plants, 59,000 blooms were cut
in one season, ending in May. Russell
is making so good a showing that more
space will be given to it. Chrysanthe-
mums must be grown for big blooms
to compete with outdoor stock. The
public will pay $3 per dozen for speci-
men blooms.. Five varieties of cattleyas
are grown. Percivaliana pays best, for
it comes into bloom when most needed.
Valley is forced in pots, it being found
most convenient to handle in that way.
A weekly batch of 4,000 is disposed of,
chiefly at retail. Cyclamens and be-
gonias are in prime condition for the
holidays. A house of winter-flowering
sweet peas, in addition to large num-
bers of bulbs, was noted.

C. Warren Kinder, of Donora, Pa.,
has opened a well appointed store. Mr.
Kinder is assured of success if the store

appearance has anything to eh Xt:

The Florists’ Review

Martin B. Lechner, of Lechner Bros.,
Webster Groves, Mo.; R. Alexander, of
the Lindley Box & Paper Co., Gas City,
Ind.; George A. Samter, of the St.
Joseph Paper Box Co., St. Joseph, Mo.;
H. Habben, of the Thatcher-Kerwin
Glass Co., St. Louis, Mo.

The J. W. Stokes Floral Co. had
large receipts of mums from the green-
houses last week. This concern reports
g brisk sales for last week.

MOTT-LY MUSINGS.

Tipton & Hurst, of Little Rock, are
looking for good business and have a
well grown stock in anticipation.

Paul M. Palez will have three stores
on Main street when he opens the lat-
est and finest addition. Little Rock is
a progressive city.

Kramer & Son, of Cedar Rapids, Ia.,
find the strawberry crop a_ profitable
one. This was an especially long sea-
son for strawberry plants. A larger
area will be planted next year. LEarly
mums sold slowly, but liberal advertis-
ing brought about better returns.

Joseph Haube, of Charleroi, Pa., has
been growing some prize mums. Mr.
Haube was one of the. florists who
visited the Cleveland flower show
last week.

I. V. Kinder, of Charleroi, had a
unique display in his window some time
ago, which caught the eyes of old and
young alike. The display consisted of
two guinea pigs in a garden of flowers,
moss and stones. Bulbs and ferns were
featured.

D. C. Hogan, proprietor of the Idle
Hour Nurseries, of Macon, Ga., was
absent at the time of my visit, being
on the grand jury. Store Manager W.
R. Gibson, lately of the Quaker City,
expressed agreeable surprise at the con-
ditions here. The latest ideas in flower
baskets, for arrivals to and departures
from this busy sphere, are in high
favor. Corsage bouquets of the choic-
est flowers are popular. The catchy
card in The Review is credited with
bringing good business from practically
all parts of the country.’ By the way,
the banjo-player of the ad has devel-
oped into a floral artist. The superin-
tendent of the greenhouses, Carl Shatz-
man, brother-in-law of Mr. Hogan,
takes pride in the 100,000 feet of glass
under his supervision. He tells me his
greatest feat is to grow the carnation
right, it being subject to many dis-
eases. Roses are a success, as is shown
by the record of Killarney. From 1,100
grafted plants, 59,000 blooms were cut
in one season, ending in May. Russell
is making so good a showing that more
space will be given to it. Chrysanthe-
mums must be grown for big blooms
to compete with outdoor stock. The
publie will pay $3 per dozen for speci-
men blooms. Five varieties of cattleyas
are grown. Percivaliana pays best, for
it comes into bloom when most needed.
Valley is forced in pots, it being found
most convenient to handle in that way.
A weekly batch of 4,000 is disposed of,
chiefly at retail. Cyclamens and be-
gonias are in prime condition for the
holidays. A house of winter-flowering
sweet peas, in addition to large num-
bers of bulbs, was noted.

C. Warren Kinder, of Donora, Pa.,
has opened a well appointed store. Mr.
Kinder is assured of success if the store
appearance has anything to aye it.

William C. Young.

| OBITUARY

William Christopher Young.

William C. Young, for many years
connected with the concern of C. Young
& Sons Co., of St. Louis, died suddenly
November 11 at 5:45 p. m. at his home
at 5553 Waterman avenue. Heart dis-
ease was the cause of his death, but he
had been ill for about a year, though
not confined to his bed. Mr. Young was
born in Toronto, Canada, in 1865, and
is survived by his wife, a daughter and
two sons, and was the brother of James,
Harry and Charles Young and Mrs, Wil-
liam Ellison and Mrs. Helwig. Mr.
Young was a cousin of John and
Thomas Young, of New York.

September 1 this year Mr. Young sev-
ered his connection with the old com-
pany and started with his two sons a
new business known as the Young Bros.
Floral Co., on Waterman avenue. Mr.
Young had many sterling qualities
which made him a successful business
man and everyone in the trade was his
friend. He was president of the St.
Louis Florists’ Club in 1908 and again
in 1909.

The funeral took place Saturday, No-
vember 13, at 2:30 p. m., from his late
residence, and was under the auspices
of Lambskin Lodge, A. F. & A. M.

The members of the club attended
the funeral in a body. The club sent a
floral wreath, and many othe beautiful
floral emblems were sent by his many
friends, who extended their sympathy
to the bereaved family. J. J. Bz

John H. Miller.
John H. Miller, aged 61 years, a re-

tired florist, died of Bright’s disease
at his home, 1414 Catalpa street, Chi-
cago, Ill., November 9. He was born
and lived all his life in that city. Mr.
Miller was a member of St. Matthew's
Court, Catholic Order of Foresters. He
is survived by his wife and six chil-
dren. Interment was in St. Boniface
cemetery, November 13.

James Petty.

James Petty, 74 years of age, a re-
tired florist of Baltimore, Md.,. died
November 8 at his home, 1110 Riverside
avenue, after an illness of about a year.
Death was due to the infirmities of age.
Mr. Petty was born in Ireland and came
to the United States when a young man.
He is survived by three daughters, an
adopted son and eleven grandchildren.

W. W. Thomas.

W. W. Thomas, of Anna, Ill. who
was said to be one of the largest grow-
ers of strawberry plants in the country,
died at his home November 13 of
typhoid fever. Mr. Thomas was only
in his forty-fourth year. He was a
leader in southern Illinois polities and
was prominent in Masonic circles, be-
ing a member of the Mystic Shrine of
East St. Louis, Ill.

West Grove, Pa.—The Conard &
Jones Co., Robert Pyle, president, has
received word that each of the Cali-
fornia expositions has given a _ gold
medal for the company’s exhibits of

pleasant months spent at his country
home in the cottonwoods, George H.
Wray has returned to town and opened
his flower section in the Keith O’Brien
department store.

RESULTS.
We give them. You get them.
We both have them.

Every few days The Review receives
photographs with no marks; sometimes
not even a postmark by which they can be
identified and receipt acknowledged.

PINK chrysanthemums have not met
with the usual call thus far this season,
while white has enjoyed increased de-
mand, although yellow still is the most
popular color.

It takes about three years for a new
variety to get a real hold in the trade
and by next season Chieftain and White
Chieftain will be found in nearly every
establishment that grows Bonnaffon.

Now that the carnation growers have
stem-rot under control for the season,
inquiries reaching.The Review indicate
they are turning their attention to red
spider, which apparently has obtained a
good lead.

BACK UP.

November business scarcely is com-
ing up to the high hopes engendered
by the banner business in October.
Not that November is bad, by any
means, but that October was so excep-
tionally good that a great many people«
thought the abnormal demand would.*
last much longer than it did.

Even though November is not show-
ing the same gains made in October, it
is better than a year ago with nearly
everyone and the height of the’chrysan-
themum season has been. passed, some-
what earlier than usual, without the

The Florists’ Review

bad glut that frequently occurs. The
growers of mums have every reason to
be pleased with the prices they have
been getting, and the prices of other
stock, while not strong, scarcely have
been hurt so much as usual while the
mums are on.

Last year Thanksgiving was unex-
pectedly good; if it turns out as well
this time, and there is every reason to
suppose it will, November’s record will
be satisfactory, even though it does
not show so good a gain as did October.

Incidentally, there has been a slow-
ing down this month in many other
lines of business not so dependent on
weather conditions as are we.

BUILDING A BUSINESS.

Says one of the largest institutions of
its kind in America:

‘The more we labor for the future,
the more we profit in the present.

‘¢‘The more we strive for character,
the greater the reward in money.

‘The more we put into our product,
the more we take out in sales.

‘*Perhaps, after all, there is more
than one sense in which it is good to
make a god out of business.’’

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.

Bohrman, J. V., Louisville, Ky.
Watson, B. M., Plymouth, Mass.

TWO YEARS.

Benson, Andrew, Hinsdale, Il.
Whitcomb & Son, Lawrence, Kan.

Rufle, John, Poughkeepsie, N. Y.
Grossart, G. W., Belleville, Ill.
Jencek, Frank, Jamestown, R. I.
Stroh, L. C., Batavia, N. Y¥

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 are sent.

INDIANA SOCIETY CONVENTION.

William J. Vesey, president of the
State Florists’ Association of Indiana,
announces that the annual convention
of the society will be held at Fort
Wayne December 7. Headquarters will
be at the Anthony hotel.

ELECTRIC LIGHT FOR FORCING.

Evidence accumulates that before
long a practical commercial method will
be discovered by which electric light
can be employed to accelerate plant
growth. In The Review for November.
4 as veracious a contributor as Charles
H. Totty recorded the chrysanthemum
‘*Wm. Turner does not flower naturally
until the end of the first week in No-
vember, but Mr. Fraser cleverly utilized
an electric light in his greenhouse at
night .directly over the blooms of Wm.
furner, and in this way had them suf-
ficiently developed to win’’ a prize Oc-
tober 28.

Now comes, also, the report that ex-
periments by the General Electric Co.,
at the lamp works in East Cleveland,
have resulted in the production of a
Mazda lamp.that, as a newspaper writer
put it, offers the suggestion that ‘‘be-

fore long flowers and plants that have
led decent, night-resting lives since Ad-
am was appointed héad gardener in
Eden, will have to turn in and work
and bloom twenty-four hours a day!’’

IMMORTELLES.

This year is a different year again
when it comes to immortelles. Instead
of a scarcity, a stiff and rising market,
such as has been the case as Christmas
approached in recent years, we now
have a supply adequate to meet the
demand and prices on the easy side
because Europe is not using its usu:
quantities this year.

New York November 10 brought the

The Market.

The inevitable has happened. A
touch of real winter has arrived, which
has quite effectually checked the large
shipments that last week threatened to
swamp the market. As a result, the
market has stiffened appreciably and
quality is all that can be desired, stock
arriving in firm condition and in excel-
lent form for shipping. Demand, too,
has experienced a change for the better,
engendered by the snappy weather.
This, however, has not yet developed
to the point where it cannot be taken
care of in almost every line. As yet,
the demand is primarily out of town,

so those houses profiting most from the

change in weather are those enjoying
a substantial shipping trade. Thanks-
giving orders are already being booked.
It has been remarked, though, during
the last week that local demand has
been gathering strength for the holi-
days.

Beauties are most decidedly on the
short side of the market and are clear-
ing daily. Their quality is the best
that has been seen in the market for
weeks, Other varieties of roses, though
by no means as short as Beauties, are
shortening rapidly. ‘The variety most
plentiful on the market is Killarney.
The supply of Russell, still the most
popular rose of the: year, is declining
sharply. To such a degree is this true
that eastern houses have been wiring
to the Chicago market for them all the
week, as Chicago is regarded as the
largest Russell market in the ceuntry.
As a result, the number of Russell to
be disposed of on this market has been
still further curtailed.

Carnations are by far the most plen-
tiful flowers on the market, but their
excellent quality in connection with the
increased demand is a sufficient guaran-
tee of their clearing without any great
difficulty. Violets, double and single,
are enough to satisfy the demand,
which gives evidence of increased life.
Valley, which has been flirting with the
short side of the market for two weeks,
has at last gone over to it. Sweet
peas, daisies and mignonette are avail-
able in fair supply.

The receipts of chrysanthemums
have shortened materially since the ad-
vent of winter weather; cheap mums in
particular, are scarce. Chadwick ard
Golden-@hadwick are-on the market in

According to N. J. Wietor, the re-
tailers like Golden Climax better than
any other yellow pompon in season at
the same time. It is a fine golden yel-
low, making Zenobia seem lemon-col-
ored by comparison.

The Market.

Business last week was not so good
as that of last month. The weather
has been bright and, while not warm,
has brought in most classes of stock
heavily and consequently there has
been a sharp decline in prices.

Chrysanthemums last week arrived
in larger quantities and were largely
responsible for the crowded condition
of the market. The quality of the
mums is fine and some choice stock is
being disposed of. Prices are not main-
taining the same standard as the qual-
ity, however, and the surplus is being
moved only with considerable effort.
Roses are plentiful and are in fine
shape. The stock is selling fairly well
and is bringing medium prices. There

supply, while heavier than heretofore,
is far short of that of last year, and
this helps to move stock that would
otherwise have little sale because of
the quality, which is not yet up to
standard. The quality, however, is show-
ing marked improvement. Orchids are
somewhat scarcer and the cut is being

The Market.

Business has improved slightly, but
is still dull. The weather does not
help it any. Warm days at this time
of year affect business disastrously.
There are fewer social functions than
usual. Weddings are not numerous and
are usually small. There has been lit-
tle funeral work and it has consisted
chiefly of sprays of mums, ete. Stock
has been more than plentiful for the
amount of trade.

Chrysanthemums are abundant, but
in some cases are being held back for
Thanksgiving. There are many large
and rich looking Turners on the market.
Bonnaffons are good and sell well.
Chieftain, Queen and Rager also sell
readily. There is an abundance of
roses and they are cheap. Ward and
Sunburst are good; so, also, is Russell,
which is meeting with a growing de-
mand. Carnations are improving, but
reds are not overplentiful. Violets are
fine and sell well. Orchids are plenti-
ful and of good color. Valley is in
good condition, but the demand is
small. Callas and. Easter lilies are
scarce. Paper Whites have made their
appearance. Bouvardias are much used
now. There is a growing demand for
dollar baskets of flowers and most of
the stores are making a specialty of
them. Greens are plentiful.

Various Notes.

The monthly meeting of the Roches-
ter Florists’ Association was held No-
vember 8, at Musicians’ Headquarters.
Mr. Zoller, a chemist for the Eastman
Kodak Co., delighted the audience with
about cighty pictures. They were his
latest achievements in color photogra-
phy and included scenes from several
of the city parks, as well as a large
number of European views.. In accord-
ance with the wishes of Mr. Zoller,
ladies were invited and the program
was both interesting and educational.
The business was postponed until the
December meeting.

the usual business was finished, a happy

PHILADELPHIA.

The Market.

The cut flower market is not in a
satisfactory condition. The retailers
assert that business is below normal
for the season of the year. The whole-
salers are unable to realize good prices
on much of their stock. The growers
find the returns low except in a few
cases where certain varieties are scarce
or the quality is unusually fine. The
supply of flowers, the best judges think,
is smaller than, that of a week ago.
The most difficult flowers to market to-
day are white chrysanthemums and
white roses. Of course, these conditions
will always prevail more or less during
the fall, when there are enough chrys-
anthemums to do all the business, with
little or no help from other flowers;
throw the other flowers in and an over-
loaded market is the result. Indica-
tions, however, point to an improve-
ment.

The oversupply of white chrysanthe-
mums is most seriously felt by that
sterling exhibition variety, William
Turner. While fine for exhibition, Wil-
liam Turner is not up to market re-
quirements, strange as this may seem.
Ivory and Charles Rager also have suf-
fered, to a lesser degree. The strength
of the mums lies in the yellow. The
strength of the yellow lies in Major
Bonnaffon. This old-time variety is
facile princeps. Maud Dean is in;
Crane, the Chadwicks and Yellow Mrs.
Jerome Jones and, in fact, all of the
mid-season and late varieties of note,
save one or two, are in. There has

Current Events.

Everybody who went to Cleveland
speaks highly of the great flower show
that is just over. Robert A. Craig says
that it was a wonderful show in every
respect. Fine exhibits, a splendid at-
tendance—both due to the untiring
energy of the show committee, which
left nothing undone that could aid in
success. Elmer W. Gaehring admired
the..way the show was advertised and,
arranged, and especially the loyalty of
the retailers. All who exhibited kept
their exhibits in perfect condition

throughout the show. Joseph G. Neid-
inger said that it was the best paying
show that he had ever attended. Gen-
erally, shows, Mr. Neidinger said, he
considered as advertising expense, and
many of them were poor advertising at
that, but this show was a profitable in-
vestment, most encouraging to the ex-
hibitor. Samuel 8. Pennock commented
on the original method of labeling, so
to speak, each member of the profession
so that any one of the 500 might know
any other, should they chance to meet.
Philadelphia salutes Cleveland. May
our spring show be a worthy successor
to her fall one.

Mr. Westcott’s Views.

The question, ‘‘Can Philadelphia re-
tail florists be induced to exhibit at
the National Flower Show in Conven-
tion hall next spring?’’ was put to
John Westcott. As a former member
of the firm of Pennock Bros. and a life-
long retail florist, John Westcott is
peculiarly fitted, to answer, this query.
Here is his reply:

‘*You cannot expect the retail flo-
rists of Philadelphia to exhibit in the

National Flower Show with a space
charge of $1 per square foot. The éx-
hibits should not be considered as trade
displays, but as drawing features that
will add to the interest of the show.
The way to get them is to go to each
one and ask him, personally, to make a
display for his own sake and for the
credit of the town. Do not charge him
anything for the space, but, on the con-
trary, guarantee him one-third of the
amount that he expends on his display.
This plan, properly carried out, will
bring a good retail exhibit that will
draw florists and their employees from
all over the state to the show. These
people will take more interest in such
displays than they will in all the rest
of the show put together.’’

The Chestnut Hill Show.

The sixteenth annual exhibition of
the Chestnut Hill Horticultural Society
was held in the Lutheran Parish build-
ing on the evening of November 9 and
throughout the following day and eve-
ning. The hall proved inadequate to
accommodate the fine stock offered for
exhibition. Crowding was necessary;

also-small aisles. Still, a party, or a
show, or anything else always seems
better crowded than empty. The Chest-
nut Hill show was no exception to this
rule and everybody said that it was a
great success. There were fine chrys-
anthemums, potted and cutted, as a
good dominie once solemnly put it.
There was sharp competition in the
decorative classes for so many square
feet of foliage and flowering plants.

The leading prize-winners were
Stephen Ager, a silver cup; G. Hans
Reuter, a gold watch. John Seule,
James Williams, James Bell, Hugh
Scott and James Thompson were first
prize-winners. Roses, carnations,
fruits and vegetables vied with each
other in adding interest to the show
and glory to the growers. The Henry
F. Michell Co. had a handsome seed
exhibit.

Chestnut Hill was justly proud of its
effort, an effort so well conceived and
executed that it is calculated to stir
envy in the hearts of the Main Liners.
For was there not a list of patronesses
on the program that would have done
credit to the assemblies themselves,
and that did much to bring the flower-
loving spirits of the 400 to see the
show, and of the 400,000 to see them
and see the show? The judges were
George E. Campbell, George Burton,
Thomas Brown, William Morton, Wil-
liam Boice, Edward Cox and William
Woltenmote.

Two fine exhibits were accidentally
omitted in the lists giving the entrants
at the Pennsylvania Horticultural So-

The Market.

The proverbial Indian summer days
were with us last week. The chrysan-
themum growers are busy harvesting
the mid-season varieties. Chieftain
gave a good account of itself. Alice
Byron and Chas. Rager in white and
Bonnaffon in yellow are standards. The
Chadwicks, Nonin and Seidewitz give
promise of first-quality blooms.

Various Notes.

Miss Catharine Siebert, formerly
manager of the B. F. Barr store, has
accepted a position with Mrs. George G.
Goldbach, of North Duke street. Miss
Siébert had been in charge of the B. F.
Barr store for several years and had
been employed by that eoncern for more
than eight years.

The property of George G. Goldbach
was offered at public sale November 13,
but was suddenly withdrawn.
greenhouse property includes green-
houses covering 37,150 feet of glass.

Ira H. Landis, of Paradise, is install-
ing a new Kroeschell boiler.

(Last week’s local papers give much
eredit to Mrs. Albert M. Herr, who, as
chairman of an executive committee,
successfully conducted at Hotel Bruns-
wick a card party, which was attended
by more than 300 women, for the bene-
fit of the Lancaster Free Kindergarten
Association.

Edward Marshall, of Kennett Square,
called on the trade November 11.

A recent call on W. B. Girvin, of
Leola, revealed a splendid crop of car-
nations. Some choice Mrs. Akehurst
are being cut. Pink Delight, Gloriosa
and Matchless were specially well
grown. Chas. Rager and _ Bonnaffon
mums are grown in quantity, as well as
Nonin, for later blooming.

At the Harry B. Weaver place, at
Bird in Hand, several beds of Gorgeous
are producing extra choice blooms. A
house of Benora looks like a good in-
vestment. Nelrose snapdragon is as
fine as can be seen at this time of the
year.

Carnations are in good supply and fine

was highly successful.

Henry Smith loaned his window to
a local candy faetory during Made in

flowers made a pleasing combination.

The Benjamin Avenue Nursery Co.

greenhouses, 30x100 feet, and has in-
stalled new boilers.

extravagant displays, now that chrys-
anthemums are plentiful, and several
large funerals helped them out last
week.

Various Notes.

The Cleveland show attracted about
every grower and retailer from this dis-
trict. They all report a splendid show.
A. W. Smith and his sons went by
automobile, which gave them an op-
portunity to visit many of the green-
houses along the road, including their
own.

Pittsburgh has had a few visitors,
among them §. S. Pennock, Philadel-
phia; L. J. Reuter, Westerly, R. I.; Mr.
Baumgarten, Milwaukee; B. J. Dudley,
Parkersburg, W. Va.

Phipps Conservatory, Schenley park,
opened its chrysanthemum show Novem-
ber 7. Henry Phipps, who presented
the city with these houses, was a visi-
tor, with a number of friends, and had
the opportunity of seeing how Pitts-
burgh appreciates a good thing, as
there were thousands standing in line.

The latest gossip among the private
gardeners is of a new club. They
call themselves, I believe, the Western
Pennsylvania Horticultural Association.
The president is Mr. Allen, superintend-
ent of Homewood cemetery; David
Fraser, gardener for H. C. Frick, is
vice-president.

Ray Thomas Page, who has been audi-
tor for the Pittsburgh Cut Flower Co.
for seven years, died November 9. Mr.
Page was 29 years of age and was well
known among the trade. He had been
in bad health for about a year and left,
for a good vacation September 1, but
had been confined to bed ever since.
He leaves, besides his wife, his
mother, sister and a brother. Clarke.

charge of the landseape work of the
Louisville & Nashville railroad for
years.
the south, being the author of a book
on gardening that has had a wide circu-
lation. He recently purchased a place
near Sylvan park, on which he has
erected a range of three houses, each
23x100 feet. He will grow vegetables
this fall and in the spring the houses
will be filled with vegetables and pot

plants. Mr. Trichler also will hustle
for landscape work, in which he is
proficient.

L, Savage, who has a range of green-
houses near Riverside park, is con-
templating adding bedding plants to

his list. He has grown only vegetables

The Market.

Last week the retail demand was
exceedingly light and the market was
forced to handle tremendous shipments.
Chrysanthemums came in so fast and
so many it was ‘‘high tide’’ all the
time. Saturday night every icebox was
crowded and enough stock remained
unsold to supply any possible require-
ments of the present week.

The mums are perfect, but few com-
mand the values of other years. Flow-
ers that last season were bargains at
$4 per dozen now are fortunate to be
chosen at half that figure and $2.50
seems to be the top for anything but
the big prize blooms. The favorites
now are Glenview, Harvard, Brutus,
Roman Gold, Wm. Turner, ‘Appleton,
Enguehard, the Chadwicks, Alice By-
ron, Bonnaffon and Timothy Eaton.
There remain also no end of anemones,
pompons and hardy mums, for which
the demand is light.

The rose supply is enormous. It is
a shame to see fine flowers of Rich-
mond, Shawyer, Kiepey, Qphelia and
even American Beauty and Sunburst
remaining unsold; or else disposed of
to the bargain hunters at summer rates.
Carnations are selling at from 50 cents
to $2 per hundred, the higher figure
obtainable only for the specialties and
the novelties.

Orchids have sold at better prices

The Florists’ Review

NOVEMBER 18, 1915.

and valley are steady. Sweet peas are
improving. Violets, for which a large
demand was anticipated November 13,
because of the Yale-Princeton football
game, were a tremendous disappoint-
ment. The market was flooded with
them and the early figure of 75 cents
per hundred, which was asked by com-
mon consent, fell rapidly to 50 cents
and then to 30 cents, and even at this
concession thousands remained unsold.

Various Notes.

H. E. Froment says Ophelia is the
most popular rose on the list at present.

L. B. Coddington, at Murray Hill, is
cutting one of the heaviest rose crops
on record at this season.

Percy B. Rigby, of the Pennock-

Meehan Co., comments that there now |

are twenty-five varieties of roses regu-
larly received in this market.

Arthur Herrington has been appoint-
ed manager of the spring show.

Frederick K. Dressel, Jr., of Jersey
City, was married last week, his bride
being Miss Lillian Primout, of Union
Hill, N. J. Mr. Dressel’s retail store
is at 188 Newark avenue, Jersey City,
and his wholesale interests are associ-
ated with those of his father, Fritz
Dressel, at Weehawken Heights, N. J.
The honeymoon of the young folks was
enjoyed at Saratoga Springs, N. Y.

Robert Raymond Frank, the 4-year-
old son of F, R. Frank, 1561 Third
avenue, has recovered from a serious
illness. ; ; .

Adam Trepel, buyer for his brother,
C. C. Trepel, has added a new auto to
his equipment, so he can quickly visit
the fifteen stores of this big enterprise.

N. Lecakes has just added to his
facilities a new automobile from the
Republic Motor Co.

Harry A. Barnard, with Stuart Low
& Co., sailed for England November 13
after a most successful trip.

The MacNiff Horticultural Co. has
been obliged to enlarge its office force,
so great is the volume of its auction
and retail business. Large importa-
tions of nursery stock still are arriv-
ing from Holland. °

The New York visitors to the Cleve-
land flower show cannot say too much
in praise of the exhibition.

Frank H. Traendly is recovering,
much to the satisfaction of his many
friends, and after‘a narrow escape from
pneumonia.

The horse show decorations at Madi-
son Square Garden called for 100 cases
of wild smilax, furnished by the Kervan
Co.

President Bowe of the Retail Flo-
rists’ Association says that the organi-
zation now has nearly 200 members.

The Market.

The market for last week was satis-
factory, although business was not ex-
actly rushing. Chrysanthemums, the
large-flowering types, and the pompons,
are in good supply and there is no
trouble in disposing of this stock, as
they are being used for most of the
social functions and decorations.

Carnations are plentiful, but have
moved rather slowly. The glut on car-
nations is caused by the popularity of
pompons, which are taking their place.
The growers are hoping that the chrys-
anthemum season will soon be over, as
it will be if we have much more warm
weather. Good carnations can be had
from $2 to $3 per hundred. Roses of
good quality are selling well, bringing
from $4 to $10 per hundred. The vio-
let season is in full sway and the grow-
ers are sending in some excellent
bunches, but several retailers are order-
ing from California. Although the Cal-
ifornia violets are between four and
five days on the road, they arrive in
good condition. The California violets
are without any odor whatever. Lily of
the valley is selling well and the supply
is sufficient to meet the demand.

Various Notes.

The regular meeting of the Minne-
apolis Lady Florists’ Club was held at
the home of Mrs. F. Busch, November
9. An enjoyable time was reported.

On a visit to Will Bros. this week,
the stock was found to be in the pink
of condition. The greenhouses are de-
voted mostly to carnations and violets,
although a considerable number of roses
and chrysanthemums are grown. Their
violets are extremely good this year.

iL. 8. Donaldson’s greenhouses sent
in the first Paper Whites of the season
this week.

The Whitted Floral Co. was busy this
week with numerous party and other
decorations. Pompons were used ex-
clusively.

The Minneapolis Floral Co. is cutting
some fine valley, which finds a ready
market.

The Lakewood Cemetery Greenhouses
have been cutting some extra fine
chrysanthemums this fall and Mr.
Boyce, the foreman, says that they are
bringing good prices.

Henry Rosacker, son of Hans Ro-
sacker, has ‘‘taken unto himself a
wife,’” who was Miss Lena Graff. The
trade congratulates Mr. Rosacker.

Perl Bros., landscape architects and
florists, have discontinued their store
at 1722 Hennepin avenue and have sold
the fixtures. They will devote all their
time to landscape work.

J. J. Lindsay, of the Hiawatha Gar-
dens, left for a hunting trip this week.

Carl Christensen, of the Minneapolis
Floral Co., was taken suddenly ill No-
vember 11 and he was rushed to the
Swedish hospital, where he was oper-
ated on for appendicitis, His condi-
tion is as good as can be expected.
Mr. Christensen was formerly with
Poehlmann Bros. Co., Morton Grove,
Til.

The florists’ ‘school, which is under
the direction of the Minneapolis Flo-
rists’ Club, is progressing rapidly. The
new Central High school, where the
meetings are being held on Thursday
evenings, is well adapted for this work,
because of its classroom, which is con-
nected with the experimental green-
and laboratories. The _ topic
under discussion this week was ‘‘ Potted
Plants for Christmas,’’? and Wm. Va-
satka, of Donaldson’s, handled the sub-
ject well. The topic for next week
will be ‘‘The Selling of Thanksgiving
Stock,’’ with other papers in connec-
tion with the selling end of the busi-
ness.

The Park Board’s chrysanthemum
show opened a blaze of color, and Su-
perintendent Wirth is to be congratu-
lated on his excellent display of over
400 different varieties. This is the
sixth year of the show.

PROVIDENCE.

The Market.

Notwithstanding the ideal weather of
last week and the holding of the annual
fall show of the Rhode Island Horticul-
tural Society, there was a falling off in
the volume of business. There were no
large social functions of any kind and
no prominent funerals, so that on the
whole the market was unsatisfactory.
Chrysanthemums are coming in rapidly.
Carnations are becoming more plentiful
and of better quality; violets are short
in stem and moving slowly. Next to
the mums the favorites are tiny rose-
buds, yellow and pink, and bouvardias,
especially the double pink.

Horticultural Exhibition.

The annual fall exhibition of the
Rhode Island Horticultural Society was
held November 11 and 12 at the Nar-
ragansett hotel. There were about
forty exhibitors, representing displays
numbering more than 300, including the
amateur and professional classes. Along
the line of popularizmg the exhibition
the committee had arranged numerous
‘‘settings’’ that were novel and attrac-
tive. One of the most conspicuous of
these was a bridal scene in which mums
formed the chief feature. Awards were
made as follows:

On roses, firsts to Burke & Burns and
Warwick Greenhouses; on carnations,
firsts to Fred Hoffman, Warwick Green-
houses, Maplehurst Greenhouses, R. J.
Taylor and John Marshall; on violets,
firsts to Warwick Greenhouses; on

The Market.

Last week mums were plentiful, the
bright, warm days having brought them
out in full force. While the demand
was not so brisk as it should have been,
it was steady throughout the week.
There was a large supply of cut stock
all the week, which had to be sacrificed
in order to be disposed of. This even
applied to the mums.-The five wholesale
houses taxed the capacity of their re-
frigerators to hold unsold stock after
the morning sales. Among the fine cut
mums seen were Eaton, Golden Wed-
ding, Chadwick, Golden Chadwick,
White Bonnaffon and Bonnaffon. The
pompons did not sell well and the mar-
ket became glutted with them by the

In roses only the extra fancy sold at
fair prices. Some excellent stock in
Killarney and Richmond were left over
daily, selling only in big lots and at low
prices. Carnations, too, were far too
plentiful to be consumed by the local
trade. When the downtown retailers
sold them at 10 cents per dozen the
question was, ‘‘ What did they pay for

Various Notes.

The St. Louis florists who visited the
flower shows at Chicago and Cleveland
are home again and say that both shows
were of a high order and that the hos-
pitality shown them on every hand was
most pleasing. The members of the
show committee, who saw both shows,
say they will have a good report to
make on the shows at this week’s club
meeting. W. W. Ohlweiler and Adolph
Jaenicke, heads of this committee, say
they never saw such well staged shows
—and they have seen many.

Miss Matilda Meinhardt was married
November 11 to William M. Boaz at
her home, 7637 Florissant avenue, with
only the immediate relatives present.
The bride was given in marriage by her
brother, Fred H. Meinhardt. Mr. and
Mrs. Boaz departed on an extended
honeymoon trip through the south and
west. They will be at home to their
friends after December 15 at their home
on Benny road and Chester avenue,
Kirkwood.

The Retail Florists’ Association did
not hold a meeting on its regular night,
November 15, according to the report of
Fred C. Weber, Jr., the secretary, the
reason being that most of the members
were away.

The Lady Florists’ Circle was enter-
tained at the home of Mrs. George B.
Windler November 10 and spent a most
enjoyable afternoon. Mrs. Fred W.
Bruenig will entertain them at the next
month’s meeting.

Frederick G. Grossart, son of Gustave
Grossart, of Belleville, Ill., who has
been a student at the Missouri Botanical
Garden, having received his scholarship
through the St. Louis Florists’ Club, has
completed his term with honors and is
now head gardener at the Valhalla
cemetery.

Abraham Newland, landscape gar-
dener and florist, of Pittsburgh, spent
last week in the city. Mr. Newland
says he may make his home here.

Roland Hammer, who is with his
father-in-law, Fred C. Weber, was the
buyer in the wholesale district last
week in the absence of Fred C. Weber,
Jr., and showed good judgment for a be-
ginner in the selection of stock.

Mr. and Mrs. Edward Guntly took in
the big shows at Chicago and Cleveland
last week. Mr. Guntly is a brother-in-
law of the Windler boys and is quite a
hustler in the decorative art.

Paul Scheider, one of our Clayton
growers, had a big success with pot
mums this season in the pompon varie-
ties. Mr. Scheider says he sold the
last of them last week at good prices.

W. A. Rowe, of Kirkwood, is cutting
heavily of mums this season, all of
which are fine quality blooms. Mr. Rowe
will have a big crop of fancy sweet
peas and carnations this winter.

W. S. Wells and his family were in
Oxford, O., last week attending the

Kapp, who was an old and retired florist
at that place. Mr. Kapp was 71 years

The overabundance of cut stock at
the ‘wholesale market every day last
week caused the downtown retailers to
buy heavily at low prices, making great
window displays. The show windows
of Grimm & Gorly, Mullanphy, Riessen,
Foster and Siegel weré the downtown
attractions. Prices displayed were: Two
dozen carnations for 25 cents; roses, 25
cents per dozen; mums, from 5 to 10

cents each. A large transient trade
was reported by all. J.J. B.
BOSTON.
The Market.

The annual November slump is not
yet over, but the chrysanthemum wave
must soon recede and then florists will
see better prices. I hear from many
salesmen the remark that business was
never so poor; their memories, how-
ever, fail them, for trade is decidedly
better than a year ago, when prices
for chrysanthemums were ruinously
low. Business is fully as good at this
season as that of two years ago, so
that there is every reason to feel cheer-
ful. There has been an unwieldy sup-
ply of chrysanthemums of late and the
clean-up has not been so good as could
have been wished. The leading sorts
are Bonnaffon, Rager, Chieftain, Eaton,
Yellow Eaton, Patty and Shrimpton.
The new and strictly show varieties are
little seen in the wholesale markets.
Large quantities of pompons and sin-
gles are coming in. These grow in
favor yearly. Roses have had @ rather
har@ week. Most growers are off crop,

which relieved conditions somewhat.
Beauties have moved slowly; so, in
fact, have nearly all varieties, a good
many short-stemmed flowers going at $5
per thousand.

Carnations have not improved in
price, but have sold as low as 50 to 75
cents per hundred. Violets are in
shorter supply and prices have stiffened.
Lilies are low and move sluggishly; so
does lily of the valley. Yellow mar-
guerites, which generally sell easily,
have declined to half last: week’s prices,
good flowers making only 50 cents per
hundred. Sweet peas are not yet
abundant. Their sale is hurt by the
abundance of other flowers. Cattleyas
are fewer in numbers, but prices run
low. Gardenias are scarce, but sufficient
for the demand.

There is an abundant supply of
pansies, but sales are slow except for
fancy stock. Owing to the mild fall,
these have continued to bloom abun-
dantly outdoors. Bouvardia Hum-
boldtii is always a good seller; the pink
varieties move more slowly. Narcissus
Paper White appeared this week, but
there is no great call for it as yet. In
the way of pot plants, camellias, ericas,
oranges, solanums, cyclamens, begonias,
crotons, dracenas and ferns are the
leaders after chrysanthemums.

William R. Morris, of Wellesley
Hills, is getting a fine lot of Killarney,
White Killarney and Richmond. He
has just finished a good crop of Ward
and Russell, and Killarney Brilliant
leaves nothing to be desired.

Among the pot mums coming in from
W. H. Elliott, which are always well
flowered, bushy, dwarf and free from
stakes, are Garza, Brutus and Pink
Caprice.

Frank Edgar, of Waverley, has a
grand lot of the old but brilliant pom-
pon mum, Julie Lagravere, which is al-
ways in keen demand for the Harvard-
Yale football game. Shrimpton is also
grown for the same purpose. Bon-
naffon is grown more heavily than any
other variety.

Penn had a charming window Novem-

Gecretary-Treasurer, ©. E. Kendel, Cleveland, 0.

CHARLES J. BOLGIANO has been elected
a director of the Merchants’ Club, of
Baltimore.

THE record of the speeders’ court at
Chicago for November 16 reveals the
name of John C. Leonard, of the Leon-
ard Seed Co. He must have been after
onion sets.

JOSEPH EDMUNDSON, manager of the
California. Seed Growers’ Association,
was a visitor in Chicago this week. Mr.
Edmundson, who is on his annual east-
ern trip, reports easy selling.

THE capital stock of the Nebraska
Seed Co., of Omaha, Neb., has been in-
creased from $50,000 to $150,000, ac-
cording to amendments to the articles of
incorporation. Henry G. von Windheim
is president.

THE executive board of the Idaho
Pure Seed Association held a meeting at
Caldwell, Idaho, October 23, to outline
plans for the annual state seed show.
The members of the board present at
the meeting were: J. W. Sessions, of
Pocatello; H. W. Hochbaum, of Boise;
K. A. Gypson and C. C. Tobias, of Cald-
well; L. L. Young, of Nampa.

WILLIAM W. BarNnarD, president of
the W. W. Barnard Co., Chicago, be-
came suddenly quite ill while at dinner
November 14 at his home, 1924 West
One Hundred and Third street, Morgan
Park. He was unconscious for several
hours and his condition is regarded as
critical, although latest reports from
the Presbyterian hospital are to the
effect that he is somewhat improved.

AccorDING to 8. F. Leonard, president
of the Leonard Seed Co., Chicago, the
bean situation is still critical. By way
of making the condition more apparent,
he cited the fact that the normal white
bean crop in Michigan is from 10,000,000
to 12,000,000 bushels. This year the loss
of navy beans in that state is 8,000,000
bushels. The situation in Michigan may
be taken as typical. Navy beans are now
bringing $4.75 per bushel in that state
and none are allowed to be shipped that
are not hand-picked.

BERMUDA ONION.

Consul George K. Stiles has made
the following report on Bermuda onion
seed shipments from Teneriffe:

‘*The 1915 export season for Canary
Island onions and onion seed closed, so
far as shipments to the United States
are concerned, August 28, showing a
small reduction from last year’s fig-
ures in the quantities of seed exported.
However, a slight increase in prices has
made the values approximately the
same, so that shippers and growers are
well satisfied with the general results.

Announcement to the Seed Trade |

Starting with the 1916 growing season, Stokes Seed Farms |
Co., Inc., will grow the following New Jersey Seed Crops |
under annual contract:

| PEPPER TOMATO |
| EGG PLANT SPINACH |
| KALE TURNIP |
OKRA SWEET CORN |
| RADISH FIELD CORN |

We are growing these for our own Market Garden Trade, and have every reason to feel that we can
be of service to other seed houses whose trade demands the very best. Our qualifications for this
work include: First, men who thoroughly understand seed growing; Second, unrivaled climatic and
soil conditions, and Third, the viewpoint of retail seedsmen. The last named qualification is perhaps
the most important, for we are in a position to realize the necessity of true stocks. When men save
seed as a by-product of some other industry, sometimes this point is lost sight of. Inquiries will
receive close attention.

TIME CLAUSES IN CONTRACTS.

for claimed breach of a contract to
buy a quantity of ‘‘strictly prime
clover seed, imported 1912 crop, at $8.50
per hundred pounds, f. o. b. cars New
York; July shipment from Europe; to
be delivered in New York as early as
possible in August, maybe on the fifth.’’

When goods subject to trade fluctua-
tions in price are contracted to be sold,
and time for delivery is specified, de-
livery within that time is an essential
element of the contract.

Before a seller can recover damages
on the theory that the buyer broke his
contract to purchase, he must show that
he was able, ready and willing to per-
form his part of the contract. In other
words, repudiation of a contract to
buy seed does not subject the buyer to
legal liability unless the seller shows
that he had the goods from which he
could have made delivery in fulfillment
of the contract.

When a buyer wrongfully repudiates
his agreement, the seller may sell the
goods in the open market at the best
price. reasonably obtainable, and hold
the buyer for the excess of the agreed
price above the net proceeds of such
resale.

WITH THE CANNERS.

A meeting of the Indiana State Can-
ners’ Association was held in the Clay-
pool hotel, Indianapolis, November 11
and 12. The meeting was well attend-
ed, several of the large seed houses
being represented. Among those in at-
tendance were A. H. Smith, of the
Leonard Seed Co., Chicago; Arnold
Ringier, of the W. W. Barnard Co.,
Chicago; Charles Guelph, of Jerome B.
Rice Seed Co., Cambridge, N. Y., and
Detroit, Mich., and Alec Mather, of
the Everett B. Clark Seed Co., Milford,
Conn. The canners report that canned
sweet corn is practically cleared up
and the present market stands at about
90 cents. Canned tomatoes are also
scarce, selling at 70 cents, with a pros-
pect of higher prices. The contributing
cause to this condition is the European
war situation, which is taking care of
all the available canned corn and
canned tomatoes procurable. As a re-
sult, the growers of sweet corn and
tomatoes for canning purposes will
greatly increase their plantings for next
year.

MOTT-LY GLEANINGS.

The Cumberland Seed Co., of Nash-
ville, is opening a retail store in the
Market square and intends to use the

_ present building as a warehouse. The
store undoubtedly will be of great con-
venience to the company’s patrons.

Mann & Hodge, successors to Reed &
Hodge, of Palatka, Fla., have received
a shipment of garden peas from the
north—plump seed, free from weevil
and, with one exception, a full deliv-
ery. Mr. Mann is a brother of Repre-
sentative Mann and is working hard
to keep the farmer posted by means
of government bulletins.

Crenshaw Bros., of Tampa, Fla., are
making a drive on Bermuda onion seed,
which, being rather scarce, will soon be
wanted by their retail trade.

~~Albert Walton, of the Walton Seed
Co., Jacksonville, Fla., says the injunc-
tion, ‘‘In the morning sow thy seed,’’
was difficult to carry out owing to the
heavy rains. This was the first season
he experienced a setback, but he be-
lieves this winter will be a good one
for Florida produce. L. Cameron speaks
along similar lines. He is a pioneer in
the seed trade here. Reports from the
citrus lands bespeak a rather short
crop of fruit.

The KE. A. Martin Seed Co., of Jack-
sonville, is preparing an elaborate cata-
logue, being much encouraged by the re-

has always been and always
will be Easter Lilies. It is
the most appropriate article
you can offer your trade at
Kaster time. They will give
more satisfaction then than
at any other time; and they
are the most profitable
plants you can handle. You
Should have plants suitable
for all pocketbooks. The
best all-around size for you
is the 7/9 Giganteum. This
size in Horseshoe Brand
bulbs affords from three to
seven flowers per plant.
They cost only $15 per case
of 300 bulbs and will prove
very profitable to you when
Easter comes. The _ profit
you can make is large in per-
centage, and in extent is only
limited by your ability to
market quantities. It al-
ways pays to have some over
rather than not enough, so
have plenty of Easter lilies
in the spring, for the 1916
HKaster will be one of the
best florists have seen in a
long while. If you grow
them yourself, be sure and
get Horseshoe Brand Gigan-
teum, because they are the
best bulbs you can get and it
don’t pay to grow any other
kind. Easter comes late—
April 23rd, in 1916—and
there is plenty of time yet to
plant Giganteum this year.

shoe Brand Giganteum as

turns through last year’s catalogue, the
first one issued.

The Georgia Seed Store, of Macon,
Ga., made a fine display during State
Fair week, of products from seed sup-
plied by them. Manager C. H. Milam
is much encouraged with the season’s
showing. W. M.

KANSAS CITY.

The Market.

Flowers are more plentiful than at
any time this fall, but prices have not
declined as expected. Chrysanthemums
were strongest last week. Bonnaffon,
Chadwick and Eaton were the princi-
pal varieties. Yellow, according to all
reports, will be scarce for Thanksgiv-
ing, on account of the warm weather.
Even the Frick mums are now half de-
veloped. Roses are not in as heavy
supply as they have been, but prices
remain the same. There are enough of
them to meet the demand and the qual-
ity is of the best. The receipts of car-
nations were heavier than in previous
weeks and there was an improvement
in the quality, in both size and color.
Violets and valley are plentiful and
there is a good supply of Easter lilies.
The demand is light in comparison with
the supply. Greens of all kinds are
plentiful. Chrysanthemum plants were
in good supply and the demand for
them was strong.

Various Notes.

C. E. Grey, who now has the W. A.
Ruhl greenhouses, is sending in a nice
lot of carnations and sweet peas. He
says that next year practically the
whole place will be devoted to cut flow-
ers. He now has part of the place in
vegetables. Claude Huckleberry is in
charge of the carnations and sweet
peas.

Three large funerals last week kept
the florists busy and saved the market
from a glut of flowers. There were a
good many wagon-loads of cut flowers
sent to the cemetery.

T. J. Noll & Co. are receiving a large
quantity of stock and the demand at
times makes them hustle to fill the or-
ders as they come in. There now are
over forty consignors who send all of
their stock to the company. Orders
for supplies are heavy.

Henry Kusik & Co. report that they
are receiving a good supply of stock
and that the shipping business was es-
pecially good last week. A fine lot of
mums from the north are on sale this
week.

Samuel Murray had a heavy run of
funeral work the last three days of the
week. A mistake was made in a pre-
vious report which stated that Mr.
Murray had 100 plants of the new be-
gonia, Mrs. Peterson. It should have
read fifty plants. Mr. Read, who is
with the store force, attended the flower
show at Cleveland last week.

Arthur Newell was busy last week
with decorations for hotel parties. The
sale of cut flowers.over the counter
was the best he ever had.

The W. L. Rock Flower Co. reports
that last week was the busiest the firm
ever had in funeral work. Mr. Rock
attended the Chicago and Cleveland
flower shows.

The Geo. M. Kellogg Flower & Plant
Co. had a heavy run of out-of-town
funeral work last week. Stock from
the greenhouses is coming in heavily.

Jacob Hepting is sending in some of

The Exposition Gardens.

A copious rain, followed by warm
sunshine, made doubly _ brilliant the
wonderful gardens at the San Diego
Exposition. This was possibly a fit-
ting rejoicing of Mother Nature over
the completed efforts of the good peo-
ple of Los Angeles, who, appreciating
the wonderful work of their sister city,
San Diego, have raised a fund that
will insure the continuance of the San
Diego Exposition for another year from
January 1, 1916.

All trees, shrubs and plants of the
gardens are as fresh and as bright as
when the exposition opened at the first
of the year, all stock showing a mar-
velous growth and perfection. The
poinsettias, interspersed with shrubs
along each side of the avenues, are
showing color; many will be in bloom
at Thanksgiving, all of them at Christ-
mas. In the meantime other plants
and shrubs keep up a riot of color:
Salvia, bright and gay; pentstemon in
its prime; ageratum a mass of bloom,
with stalks full. of color, running up
two and one-half to three feet.

Dahlias in second crop are as good
and as perfect as the first crop. The
geraniums are better now than during
the summer. Although this is not the
season for the queen of flowers, roses
still are splendid in every way. Can-
nas, planted among the trees and
shrubs, are bright and showy. Canna
Firebird, planted as an exhibit by a
seedsman, has.attracted unusual atten-
tion. People who have not cared for
the canna have been greatly interested
in this variety. Firebird does more
than well in this climate.

The formal gardens planted out and
eared for by Captain Gray, for the
seven southern counties of California,
have been awarded the grand prize.

The acacias planted both in San
Diego and at the exposition are full
of buds, promising to burst suddenly
into showers of gold.

Seemingly, all plants and shrubs are
making an unusual effort, putting their
best foot forward to surpass, if pos-
sible, in 1916, their marvelous show-
ing of 1915. F. E.G.

SAN FRANCISCO.

The Market.

Probably nowhere in the western
hemisphere, outside of San Francisco,
would the coronation of the new mikado
of Japan have any distinct effect on the
flower market. Here, however, this
event resulted in the closing, November
11, of the California Flower Market,
through which is moved the great bulk
of the chrysanthemums and carnations
grown around San Francisco. The trade
felt little inconvenience, however, as
there was ample opportunity to put in
extra stock the previous day, and, ex-
cept for the one day, the offerings have
been quite heavy. In general, the mar-
ket is in a little firmer condition. The

last week brought a nice rain, followed
by the first touch of frost, which has
already finished the dahlias and will
soon put an end to all outside summer
flowers, though rather beneficial to the
violets. At retail there are still many
decorations, and the small house and
counter trade is picking up, while the
eastern shipping movement is as large
as ever.

hurt but little by the rain and have
been moving well, especially while the
Japanese market was closed. Roses uf
nearly all varieties are good, but the
cut is hardly so large as last week,
while a larger demand cleans up all of-
ferings early, at advanced prices. Ce-
cile Brunner is much sought for, being
wanted for shipment as well as local
use, and Ophelia is in fair supply and
immensely popular. Valley is coming in
better again. The cut of orchids con-
tinues fine and includes a fair num-
ber of varieties, though Cattleya labiata
predominates. Some cypripediums are
used to good effect in basket work. The
eut of gardenias is limited. Offerings
of flowering plants are not yet plenti-
ful, and they, as well as ferns and foli-
age plants, are in increasing demand.

Horticultural Society Meeting.

The monthly meeting of the Pacific
Coast Horticultural Society was held
November 6. As at the previous meet-
ing, one of the matters of greatest in-
terest was the increasing number of
members from the trade outside of San
Francisco. Those proposed for member-
ship at this meeting were: Fred Howard,
Los Angeles; H. Kruckeberg, Los An-
geles; John Young, secretary of the
S. A. F.; Henry W. Turner, Montebello;

H. Plath, reporting for the program
committee, said that all the souvenir
convention programs had been mailed
to the 8. A. F. members, and all bills
in connection therewith had been paid.
On behalf of the flower show commit-
tee, he reported a successful show, espe-
cially from the standpoint of attend-
ance.

The matter of affiliation with the So-
ciety of American Florists came up and
mention was made of the membership
requirements. It was decided to ap-
point a committee to look over the mem-
bership list and see whether the re-
quirements could be met. Frederic
Bertrand, John Gill, Eric James, W. A.
Hofinghoff and Mr. Eldred were ap-
pointed as this committee.

It was announced that nominations of
officers for the following year would be
made at the December meeting, and the
society voted to hold the annual smoker
at that meeting instead of in January,
as in the past. As December 4, the reg-
ular date for the meeting, will be the
closing day of the Panama-Pacific Ex-
position, it was decided to hold the
meeting a week later. James Keegan
was appointed chairman of the smoker
committee. High appreciation was ex-
pressed of the recent reception given by
the Ladies’ Auxiliary, and it was hoped
that such affairs would be of frequent
occurrence. Dr. D. E. Van Dyke, of the
University of California, gave a lecture
on ‘‘The Insect Enemies of Trees and
Shrubs.’’ As an exhibit for the even-
ing, H. Plath brought a large 4-year-
old specimen of Asplenium Nidus-avis,
which was given ninety-five points.

that the judges are nearing a final de-
cision, which will be announced soon
after the close of the exposition.

T. A. Monroe, who has been in charge
of the exposition nursery, has been ap-
pointed salesman of the stock to be re-
moved from the grounds. He will have
a vast amount of material to dispose of
and it will probably take a good while
to clean it all up. Mr. Monroe was for-
merly one of the Golden Gate park
force.

During the closed day of the Cali-
fornia Flower Market, C. Kooyman,
whose store is over the market, had the
distribution of a large part of the day’s
cut of carnations. However, he handled
only the better grades, the cheaper
stock being discarded.

Burns & Co., of San Rafael, have
given the name Alaska to their new
white seedling dahlia, mentioned in The
Review a few weeks ago.

F. Pelicano says his dahlia crop is all
over. He will soon begin digging the
bulbs, of which he has sold a much
larger number than usual.

The famous Liberty Bell left San
Francisco as it came in, bedded in
flowers, and the flowers were furnished
on both occasions by Pelicano, Rossi
& Co. The decoration for the depar-
ture, November 11, consisted principally
of yellow mums. About twenty auto-
mobiles for the escort were decorated
with the same flowers, two big sprays
to each machine.

November 16 will be the first anni-
versary of B. M. Joseph’s flower shop,
on Grant avenue, and arrangements are
being made to celebrate in a fitting
manner the end of a highly successful
year.

A. O. Stein had several decorations in
the Palace hotel last week. A notable
one was for a Japanese affair in cele-
bration of the mikado’s coronation, on
the evening of November 10, with
tables for 250 people. All shades of
yellow mums were the feature. The
following night a somewhat similar dec-
oration was put in for a National Guard
affair.

The E. Gill Nursery Co., of Berkeley,
is exceedingly busy with shipments of
nursery stock, and is also getting a fine
eut of Irish Elegance roses, most of
which are coming to the San Francisco
shops.

The Francis Floral Co. takes great
pride in its new delivery automobile,
the body of which was built and deco-
rated according to a special design
worked out by F. Schlotzhauer, the pro-
prietor. The body is painted a moss

vinced that every florist ought to have
one, as it'saves an immense amount of
time and trouble. His scheme is to
teach all the boys in the store to run it,
so it can be kept in almost constant
use. For Thanksgiving, he is getting
up a line of Dutch market baskets in
shades of old ivory, old rose and golden
brown, in which he will make up pack-
ages of fruit and flowers.

A reward of $25 has been offered for
the recovery of two trophies stolen from
the Menlo Park flower show. One of
the cups was bronze and one silver,
won by George, Dunn and A. Bassett,
respectively. An additional reward of
$25 is offered for the arrest of the
thief. 8, H. G.

LOS ANGELES.

The Market.

While one or two favorably placed
retailers say they did more business
during October than usual for . that
month, the majority agree that the
month was a disappointing one. One
of the most prominent retailers of the
city says that his sales this season are
smaller, both in number and value, by
at least twenty-five per gem. Another
reports that October was the first one
that did not show an advance over
October of the year previous, since his
concern started in business. The whole-
salers, on the other hand, say that the
shipping business has been more than
brisk, while the growers say they have
nothing to complain of.

The flowers generally are better now
than for some time back, with the ex-
ception of mums. The later varieties
of chrysanthemums are not so good as
the earlier ones. Roses are excellent
in every particular and carnations are
good. Orchids are coming in much
more freely and the quality is above
the average. Valley is scarce and of
fair quality. Plant and nursery sales
have been benefited by the recent rains
and the stock is greatly improved in
appearance. Asparagus plumosus is a
little on the short side, but other greens
are plentiful. Violets are at their best
now and the supply is about even with
the demand. Catalina holly has already
made its appearance and an attempt is
being made to popularize it for Thanks-
giving. The berries are ripening unu-
sually early this year and this holly is
likely to be plentiful. Another green
likely to be drawn on for decorations
this year is the native juniper. Its
grayish berries on the deep green foli-
age are especially attractive. A branch
of this juniper on my desk has been cut
nearly a month, yet the foliage still is
fresh and the berries persistent.

Various Notes.

L. H. Freeman, of the Freeman-Lewis
Co., has returned from his honeymoon
trip to Honolulu and is at home at
Hollywood. He reports having a most
enjoyable time both at the islands and
at the San Francisco fair, which he and
Mrs. Freeman visited on their return
trip.

Reeve Darling, of Darling’s Flower
Shop, said that at the recent opening
of a large store nearby he had the
largest amount of work his concern has
ever carried out at a single opening.

C. Gutting, of the Superior Nursery
Co., who has been twice at Murrietta
Springs for a cure for rheumatism, is

tial paralysis of both legs. When seen

The Florists’ Review 75

by the writer he said he was suffering
little pain. This confinement comes
hard to a man of his active habits,
especially at the time when his Christ-
mas plants, of which he makes a spe-
cialty, need attention. Mrs. Gutting,
who is always active in the business, is
keeping things going smoothly.

Polder & Groen are propagating car-
nations more heavily than ever. Last
year, owing to the excellence of their
stock and packing methods, repeat or-
ders kept them cleaned up and Mr.
Groen says they had to turn down
orders towards the end of the season.

Fred Sperry, manager of the 'L. A.
Floral Co., says his concern is now
shipping to points far east, including
Rochester and Minneapolis. It will be
interesting to see how these shipments
arrive. Mr. Sperry is delighted with
the change in quarters, for much more
business has been done at the new
place.

The Germain Seed & Plant Co. has
received a large consignment of new
and rare herbaceous stock from Europe.

The H. N. Gage Co. is shipping a
fine line of ferns and other pot plants
to the local retailers from the Monte-
bello nursery. Mr. Gage says that
business is improving and that the
bungalow on Whittier boulevard is
about complete.

Howard & Smith are digging and
balling roses from the new field on
the Whittier road, which has been a
great attraction to autoists. Judging
by the way some of the lines of roses
are thinning out, business must be
good.

Inspector Edouart, of the horticul-
tural commissioners’ office, is one of the
best posted men we have in the state
on insect life and the means of destroy-
ing obnoxious pests, such as the vari-
ous scales, mealy bug and other ‘‘crit-
ters.’’? For this reason there should
be a big crowd at the December meet-
ing of the Los Angeles Horticultural
Society, when Mr. Edouart will speak
on this subject. Readers will kindly
note that I am referring to Mr. Ed-
ouart’s lecture as promised and, as the
well known ad reads, ‘‘there’s a rea-
son.’’ A flowery writer in one of ‘‘our
*steemed contemporaries’’ occasionally
refers in the past tense to events to
come and gets early reports of things
that never happen. I should be greatly
embarrassed if anything of that kind
appeared in this column, which is get-
ting quite a reputation for absolute and
unpardonable veracity.

S. Murata & Co. say that the violets
are improving both in color and fra-
grance. This house is handling large
consignments of orchids, and Mr. Mu-
rata says that the shipping business is
quite brisk. H, R. Richards.

PORTLAND, ORE.

The Market.

Business conditions show an improve-
ment over those of the two preceding
weeks. Several prominent social events
and funerals have cleaned up the sur-
plus stock and nothing has been wast-
ed. Chrysanthemums are the leading
flowers and are now in their prime.
The most prominent varieties are
Golden Eagle, Chas. Rager, Chieftain,
Pennsylvania, Jerome Jones, Mrs.
Weeks, Chadwick, Yellow Chadwick,
Eaton and numerous varieties of pom-
pons.

with cyclamens and begonias next on
the list. Some azaleas are shown and
celestial peppers are seen everywhere.
Nurserymen are moving an unusually
large quantity of stock. Seedsmen re-
port a fair demand for bulbs. Florists
are securing normal prices for their
stock and little price-cutting is being
done. There has been no frost in the
vicinity of the city and salvia, cosmos
and other outdoor flowers are still
available.

Various Notes.

Samuel Roake was seen in town No-
vember 12 pushing the sale of his wild
greens and moss.

J. H. Dundore, president of the Ore-
gon Sweet Pea Society, was elected
one of the directors of the 1916 rose
festival. J. O. Convill, park superin-
tendent, was appointed to the board
by the city commissioners.

At one pf the department stores
standard varieties of 2-year-old Oregon-
grown rose bushes are offered at 12%
cents each. The grower evidently did
not figure on any profit when he sold
the bushes to the store.

The Martin & Forbes Co. handled
three large decorations November 10.
One was for the banquet given by the
Japanese in honor of the coronation of
their mikado. The company has de-
veloped a pompon sport that has a
pleasant odor, resembling honey. The
new pompon is proving popular.

R. C. Cook said his business in potted
plants had increased since the Wool-
worth store across the street had opened
a plant department. S. W. W.

SEATTLE, WASH.

The Market.

The dull, rainy weather last week
militated against the selling of many
flowers and business, accordingly, has
been dull. Several society functions
and one or two large funerals have,
however, tended to alleviate things a
little and at no time has there been
any glut of flowers. Chrysanthemums
continue to occupy most attention and
there is a good supply of them in all
grades, with improved quality in the
locally grown mums. There are fewer
of the California blooms now being of-
fered. Carnations are of better quality
and, while the,demand for them is sub-
sidiary, there are more of them moving
than heretofore. Outdoor flowers are
now almost of the past, with the excep-
tion of dahlias. Of these good blooms
still are being shown. Roses in large
variety are arriving in fine condition,
the demand for them being somewhat
moderate. Pot plants are not over-
plentiful and are not in much variety.
Orchids are in good supply and valley
fairly plentiful. There is a demand
for stevia, but none has appeared on
the market.

Various Notes.

At the Florists’ Club’s meeting No-
vember 9 an interesting discussion took
place regarding the enforcement of the
new horticultural bill, and a committee
was named to help the local inspector
in procuring an assistant. The recent-
ly formed florists’ information bureau
also came up for discussion and the
hope was expressed that florists in all
parts of the state will lend their assist-
ance in establishing this laudable insti-
tution. T. W.

NURSERY NEWS.

AMERICAN ASSOCIATION OF NURSERYMEN,.
President, E. 8. Welch, Shenandoah, Ia.; Vice-
president, John Watson, Newark, N J.; Secre-
tary, John Hall, Rochester, N. Y.; Treasurer,
Peter Youngers, Geneva, Neb.
Forty-first annual meeting, Milwaukee, Wis.,
June 22 to 24, 1916.

THE Pacific northwest is steadily com-
ing forward in the matter of nursery
stock, production.

Over the.greater part of the country
the 1915 growing season was exception-
‘ally favorable, with the result that stock
today not only is plentiful but good.

NURSERYMEN, when they meet, con-
_gratulate each other that the fall plant-
ings by customers are making so much
better a showing than was expected.

W. C. Stocock, Woking, Surrey, Eng-
land, says the season is rendered a dif-
ficult one, even for business with Amer-
ica, by high ocean freights, insurance and
other factors.

In spite of a rather good fall busi-
ness, retail nurserymen are not pushing
the wholesalers about stock for stor-
age. Not only are the orders a bit slow
in coming forward, but they are light.

V. A. VaNIcEK, of the Rhode Island
Nurseries, Newport, R. I., has added fif-
teen acres on the East Main road, in Mid-
dletown, to the property purchased a year
ago. He will plant the new holdings to
evergreens.

PETERSON NurRSERY, Chicago, has an
unusual quantity of ‘‘addition’’ plant-
ing tais season. For Kaiser & Co., to
whom a tract of Peterson Woods was
sold, a tract of 314 acres has required
street planting. And there are numer-
ous other new additions to the city that
have come on the market this year,
calling for many street trees.

ROOTING PRIVET AND SPIRZA.

I should like to know how and
when to root cuttings of Amoor River
privet, Spirea Van Houttei and the
pink rambler, Dorothy Perkins, Any
information will be ge a air

. K.—Mich.

Make the cuttings any time after the
leaves have fallen. In the case of
privet it may be necessary to strip the
foliage. Make the cuttings of privet
and spirea eight to twelve inches long;
even shorter ones will answer. Tie
these in bundles of 100 each and pack
in damp soil on a cellar floor over
winter. They will be calloused before
spring, when they can be run out in
lines, allowing only two or three inches
to remain above ground. Dorothy
Perkins can be treated in the same
way, although you will have better suc-
cess in rooting it in a close frame in
July or August, from half ripened
wood; also under glass in winter from
forced plants. C.

The Market.

_ Business last week showed a decided
improvement over that of the preced-
ing seven days. ‘Roses, while not so
plentiful, are of better grade. The
prices obtained for them are not what
they should be, for chrysanthemums
have knocked the bottom out of all
sales. Good carnations are to be had
at $1.50 to $2 per hundred, these also
feeling the effects of an overloaded
chrysanthemum market.

Some exceptionally fine American
Beauty roses are being offered and
these are in fair demand at $3 per
dozen. Shawyer is good and the new
rose, Mrs. Moorfield Storey, is attract-
ing considerable attention. Violets are
moving better. Easter lilies hang fire

flowers are disposed of one way or an-

The Florists’ Review :

For the Commercial Grower
for Winter and Spring Delivery

Plants from those who back up the reputation of growing

and shipping, properly packed, the best plants that can be
produced, :

GOLDEN GLEAM. Asa novelty of the year we are offering a
seedling of our own raising. It is a bright, glistening yellow in color;
medium dwarf in growth. Fully as good two to a plant as single.
Matures Oct. 20th to Nov. Ist. Second crown buds were the best.

24-inch, $1.50 per doz., $12.00 per 100, $100.00 per 1000.

NEW MUMS OF THIS SEASON

Rooted Cuttings, $7.00 per 100, $60.00 per 1000.

Marigold. The best yellow mid-season chrysanthemum that has ever
been introduced, when grown right. It must be planted early and the bud
should be secured by the 10th to 15th of August. It will be the first
crown. On later buds it is by no means the equal of the early ones.

Crystal Gem. A fine, large, mid-season commercial white. Follows
Oconto, the best early white.

Early Frost. For real early white plant Early Frost. Take the first
crown bud. Start cutting in early October. Pure white and a good keeper.
It is of equally good quality from later planting but matures later.

odello. A fine, early November bronze. Good from any planting, and
an easy doer. Sensational color. Pretty as a cactus dahlia.

Golden Queen. A fine, early, light yellow. Best with us as a second
crown from early June planting.

FINE COMMERCIAL VARIETIES
Rooted Cuttings, $3.00 per 100, $20.00 per 1000.
Golden Eaton. Will replace Yellow Eaton in our general list. As
good as Yellow Eaton in every way, better in color.
White Chieftain. Pure white on the second crown buds.

Harvest Moon. Our introduction of last season. A fine, mid-
season yellow Pompon. Eugene Langaulet. A fine, late yellow.
Both good and both money making varieties. 2%-inch, $5.00 per
100, $40.00 per 1000.

growth, producing heavy heads. They are potted up in August and are thoroughly rootbound in

from the dormant buds at the base. They cannot be better and will satisfy the most critical.

The Market.

Business: has ‘taken a decided. turn
for the better since the c@ming of freez-
ing weather... Market: conditions are
excellent and stock is plentiful enough
to meet all demands. Chrysanthemums
are the ruling. flowers at present and

the preference is given them. Dolly
Dimple, Eaton,g(hieftain and Bonnaf-
fon are the varieties. There are

a few Golden Wedding appearing on
the market. Single and pompon mums
are overplentiful. Roses are in fine
shape but in oversupply. Many grow-
ers, however, are holding back their
rose stock for the Christmas trade, on
account of the light demand during the
chrysanthemum season. Carnations are
more plentiful and the demand for them
is fairly good. There are some fine
orchids, mostly Cattleya labiata and
dendrobiums. Gardenias are scarce at
present. Sweet peas are favorites and
violets are more plentiful and of good
quality. There are some fine offerings
in Easter lilies.

Blooming plants in all varieties can
be had and a good trade in them is
expected. Greens are plentiful. A
number of prominent funerals and
social functions called for a _ large
amount of decorative work last week.
Shrubbery from Belgium is arriving at
the greenhouses and the azalea stock
is already acclimated.

Various Notes.

The new building of the Doswell
Floral Co., on West Main street, is
rapidly nearing completion .and a
formal opening of the store will be held
November 19 and 20. This store is
under the management of Miss Max-
well. A branch store has just been
opened on the south side under the
management of Miss Rhoda Doswell,
who had charge of the Main street
store for a number of .years.

The Bradley Flower Shop executed
an elaborate decoration for a reception
last week. Wells’ Late Pine and Bon-
naffon chrysanthemums were _ used,
keeping the color scheme in mulberry,
yellow and white. Yellow roses were
used for the tables. Miss Marjory
Bradley is in Chicago for a few days.

EMMMINNER of the Silver Medal at the last exhibition of the

¥

.

American Carnation Society, Buffalo, N. Y.; January
27th and 28th; First Prize.at the IHinois State Fair, at
Springfield, Ill., September 22d and 23rd. It has never been

beaten at any exhibition. The color is a most brilliant red. The size. *
of the flower is 34% to 4 inches. Stems 24 to 36 inches long, strong
and stiff. We have never had a burst calyx, all flowers grading firsts;
and, best of all, it is a constant bloomer, ging a steady run of flowers
equal in number to the Enchantress family. It has-a!/very spicy odor,
much greater than the average Carnation. It comes in full flower by the Ist
of December and then continues steadily through the balance of the season.
The present sharp competition in business requires the grower to
plant a variety that always produces high-grade flowers, never bursts
the calyx, has strong, long stems, is a steady and continuous bloomer, no
cropper. The color is the most brilliant red of any Carnation now in mar-
. ket. We have grown this variety for five years, it being one of our own
— seedlings, and we now have 30,000 plants benched in our greenhouses at
Greggs, of which 12,000 are for the cut flowers and 18,000 devoted to
rooted cuttings. We will have 100,000 strong, well rooted cuttings, guar-
anteed all first-class, ready for delivery during December. The price of
the rooted cuttings will be $12.00 per 100, $100.00 per 1000.

The Market.

Business conditions remain fair, but
the supply of mums is larger than the
demand and, in fact, everything is
plentiful, with the exception of gar-
denias, cattleyas and valley, which were
hard to secure last week even at an
advanced price. Cattleyas were ex-
ceedingly high. Mums, of course, hold
the center of attraction at present and
are abundant, except the yellows, which
are only in limited supply. Medium-
grade stock can be bought at low prices
and an oversupply of white caused the
price on these to drop to a low figure.
The oversupply of mums hurt the sale
of roses and carnations greatly, and at
the end of the week the street fakers
had innumerable quantities of both and
were selling them at low prices. The
demand for Beauties was good during
the first half of the week, but during
the second half Beauties were seldom
called for. Pompon. mums still com-
pete with the cheaper outdoor-grown
stock. The green goods situation re-
mains the same—a good supply and
demand light.

The Market.

A killing frost, accompanied with
eight inches of snow, has put an end
to all outdoor stock. The weather is
cold and it looks as if winter had set
in carly. ‘The sunshine will be more
than welcome to help push the flowers

along for Thanksgiving. The florists .

are somewhat short on cut flowers and
there seem to be none around. It is a

known fact that funeral orders had-

to be turned down.

Roses, carnations and chrysanthe-
mums are in large demand, but there is
an unusual shortage of roses and car-
nations. Due to the cropping of roses
for Christmas, it is almost impossible
to purchase the shorter-stemmed grades.
It is a rare treat to obtain some
Ophelias, Hoosier Beauties or Hadleys.
The Helen Taft is a fine specimen and
has proven itself so commercially. The
plant produces long stems and a large
bloom. It has an attractive cerise-pink
color and the foliage is first-class. The
American Beauty roses have been plen-
tiful in supply and excellent in qual-
ity; only the shorter-stemmed grades
could not meet the demand. Prices
average 60 cents to $3 per dozen. Car-
nations still are scarce, but the qual-
ity is improving rapidly. Any grade
or color can be easily disposed of.
Chrysanthemums are abundant and the
quality is all that can be desired. Bon-
naffon and Chadwick are the two best
sellers. There arene fine Timothy
Eaton and Colonel Appleton mums, but
the medium-sized chrysanthemums are
called for most. The pinks are scarce.
Sweet peas are scarce. In potted stock,
cyclamens, ferns and potted chrysanthe-
mums prevail. Orders for Thanksgiv-
ing are being placed, but the present
shortage of stock will check the sales.

Various Notes.

W. T. Gray has opened a flower de-
partment in the Auerback department
store, at the corner of Broadway and
State streets, and says that the outlook
for business is good.

E. A. Lambourne expects to open a
flower store for himself near the corner
of Main and Second streets, south.

The Cache Valley Floral Co., of
Logan, has taken over the business of
the Marvold Floral Co., of that city.

The Miller Floral Co. finds the de-
mand for roses and carnations in ex-
cess of the supply. A fine lot of aza-
leas has just been received. Oo. F.

Helena, Mont.—Referring to an in-
quiry in a recent issue of The Review

The Market.

Business last week at the best was
rather disappointing. The supply in
all lines was heavy, while the sale of
stock was only large enough to take
up the larger part of the receipts. The
shipping business, particularly in greens
and supplies, is good. The first freez-
ing weather arrived November 15.

The rose supply is even larger than
at the last writing, The same is true
of carnations. Laster lilies, too, are
plentiful and more than able to take
care of all present requests for them.
Chrysanthemum receipts are heavy and
include a good assortment of all varie-
ties and sizes, as well as pompons and
anemones. The supply is so large
that it is impossible to realize the
full value on anything because of the
indifferent demand. The first calla
lilies in quantities made their ap-
pearance last week, but in spite of
their newness they found a poor sale.
Violet offerings include doubles as well
as singles. Other offerings are lily of
the valley, orchids and sweet peas.

Greenhouse Heating.

SUBSCRIBERS are invited to write the
Editor of this Department with regard to
any details of greenhouse heating that
are not understood. But please do not
ask The Review to make a choice of ap-
paratus for you. The greenhouse heating
equipment advertised in this paper is, we
believe, the best for the trade to buy.
and each article the best in the special
field of its adaptation.

TEMPERATURE NOT SPECIFIED.

I should like to get some information
about the piping of my greenhouse. I
intend to heat with hot water and I
wish to use 3-inch or 4-inch flows. What
size of returns will be suitable? My
house is 17x100 and nine feet high in
the center. There is one foot of glass
in the sides; the ends are glass down
to the eaves. H. L.—Ohio.

For a house 100 feet in length there
is no occasion for using flow pipes larg-
er than 24-inch, and with these I
would use 2-inch returns. The num-
ber of flows and returns will depend
upon the temperature desired. For a
temperature of 60 degrees I would use
three 214-inch flows and nine 2-inch re-
turns. For 50 degrees it will answer
if two flows and six returns are used.
If the 3-inch pipe is on hand, it can
be used in place of the 2%4-inch as
flows, and in that case two flows would
probably answer for 60 degrees.

THE COAL MARKET.

If this week’s reports, as received
from the coal market, differ noticeably
from the reports of a week ago, the
difference is not so much in the facts
themselves as in the manner of stating
them. Now, as a week ago, the news
of the coal trade may be summarized
thus: The eastern markets show a sat-
isfactory degree of activity, in accord-
ance with the recent improvement in
other lines of business; in the west the
mildness of the weather has a retarding
influence, though the mine owners are
maintaining a fairly ‘healthy tone in
the trade by controlling the output and
otherwise managing matters conserva-
tively. In the export trade there has
been a slight decline, due chiefly to
the extremely high freight rates
charged by the ship owners. In some
districts of the middle west the short-
age of cars is increasingly apparent,
and may cause serious trouble if the
demand for fuel becomes more urgent.

Place of two cast iron boilers, and one 60 H.P. tubular boiler. As we
were the first to install one of your boilers on Long Island, it might in-

NEW KROESCHELL—HOT WATER AND STEAM

Kirkwood, Mo., May 22, 1915

Now that the firing season is over and after a long cold winter, the
coldést night being 6° below zero, I want to say I am well pleased
with the No. 46 WATER TUBE STEAM BOILER and the No. 14 hot
water boiler, they are doing all you claim for them and more. The No.
14 hot water boiler heating that large house to 62° with the greatest
sage in zero weather without the help of the steam boiler. THIS STEAM
BOILER I THINK IS A WONDER, a quick steamer and holds the
steam, the easiest boiler in the world to clean and to keep clean. The
boiler tube hot water system is the winner, the rapid circulation and
even temperature obtained from this system is wonderful.

It may be remembered that last
week’s report referred to the trade in
smokeless coal as being exceptionally
dull, as compared with the movement
in other grades of fuel. Now, says the
Black Diamond, ‘‘the demand for
smokeless for the time being has van-
ished. Some shippers are paying de-
murrage, hoping that the thermometer
will come to their rescue. Mine-run
is held firm at $1.40. Lump and egg
have been moved at $1.90 and $2.
This coal was sacrificed to avoid the
payment of additional demurrage.’’

you advise the use of ground beds for
cucumbers? In that case, what method
of piping would you suggest? We are
troubled here with a great deal of rain.
J..S.—Ore.

While it would be preferable to use
2-inch pipe for the returns in a 100-foot
house, good results can be obtained
with 114-inch pipe. By using five 2-inch
flows and twenty 114-inch returns, there
should be ‘no difficulty in securing the
temperature desired, under the condi-
tions mentioned. Even better results
may be obtained by using five 21-inch
flow pipes and fifteen 2-inch returns.
Ordinarily it answers to use solid beds
for cucumbers, but where there is any
danger from water, either from below
or as drip from the glass, it is safer to
grow the plants either in pots or boxes
or on raised benches.

STICKY MATTER IN TUBES.

I have considerable trouble with an
accumulation of sticky matter in the
tubes of my boiler; it is like tar and
difficult to remove. My regular tube
cleaner will not do the work. Can you
tell me of any tool that will do it? I
am sure such information would be of
great benefit to many of your subscrib-
ers. K.—Ia.

A special device is manufactured by
the Kroeschell Bros. Co., Chicago, to
remove the accumulation you describe.

COUPLING TWIN BOILERS.

I am enclosing a sketch of my boiler
and some of its connections. The
sketch also shows another boiler, which
I wish to couple with the one already
in use. Please tell me what is the best
method of coupling them. The capacity
of the boiler now in use is inadequate;
so I expect to build a new boiler room
next year and purchase a large boiler.
For this winter, however, I intend to
get along by using the two small boil-
ers which I already own.

Both the boilers, as you see, are
round and upright. The extra boiler
is forty-six inches high to the top out-
let. It has a 19-inch grate, a 34-inch
flow opening, a 24-inch return open-
ing and a 7-inch smoke pipe. Its esti-
mated radiation is 585 square feet. The
expansion tank is three feet long and
eighteen inches in diameter, and is
about eight feet higher than the top
of the boilers. The returns all come
in at one side of the boiler now in
use. J.0O. S.—N. Y.

The sketch shows two boilers set side
by side and about two or three feet

THE HEATING PROBLEM SOLVED

cateine strictly according to mechanical merits, it's]:
METROPOLITAN PATENTED BOILER you want.

Because of their proven scientifically perfect con-
struction, Metropolitan Patented Boilers will heat a
given amount of water quicker, with less fuel and
less attention than any other boiler on the market.

The remarkable heating efficiency and quick
steaming qualities of these boilers are due to their
large and effective heating surface.

Just a few points of Metropolitan Patented Boiler
merit:—Smooth, perfect flaished castings. Push nip-
ple connections.

We also make soft coal boilers which are smoke-
less, and save 50 per cent in coal.

apart, but it gives but a faint idea of
the arrangement of the flow and return
connections with the boiler.

There are two methods of coupling
twin boilers. One way, which is used
when there is a main flow and return,
is to connect the new boiler to both
flow and return in as direct a manner
as possible. In the present instance I
would use a 3-inch flow and a 2%-inch
return. The other method is used when
several flows and returns connect di-
rectly with the boiler. In that case the
first step is to yoke or couple the boil-
ers themselves, connecting the flow and

' ASSOCIATION OF GARDENERS.

The annual convention of the Na-
tional Association of Gardeners will
take place in Boston, December 9 and
10. The first session will open in Hor-
ticultural hall, at 2 p. m., December 9.
A number of papers will be submitted
by gardeners prominent in the profes-
sion, which should provoke a good dis-
cussion, Among the subjects will be:
**Ig Gardening a Profession?’’ ‘‘The
Gardener’s Place in the Public Serv-
iee.’’ ‘*The Management of a Private
Estate, as Viewed by a College Grad-
uate.’’ ‘*The Young Gardeners’ Op-
portunity in This Country.’’ ‘‘Is Co-
operation Between Garden Clubs and
Gardeners’ Societies Desirable?’’
President Everitt has appointed W. N.
Craig, Duncan Finlayson and W. J.
Kennedy a committee on convention
arrangements and they promise that
the meetings will be made interesting,
entertaining and instructive to all who
attend.

An invitation is extended to all gar-
deners to attend the Boston convention,
so that they may familiarize themselves
with the scope of the work the na-
tional association has undertaken.

Owing to the small number of arti-
cles received in the essay contest, which
closed October 1, the winners of which
were to be announced at the conven-
tion in December, the essay committee,
William H. Waite, W. N. Craig, Edwin
Jenkins, Arthur Smith and Theodore
Wirth, has decided to reopen and con-
tinue the contest, so that gardeners
may participate in it during the winter
months, when they have more time
than in any other season of ‘the year to
devote to the writing of essays. The
contest will close February 1 and the
winners will be announced at the asso-
ciation’s meeting during the National
Flower Show in Philadelphia, in March,
1916, There are four classes, as follows:

Class 1—Prize $35 gold. Subject, ‘‘Hortt-:
culture as a Profession, from the Standpoint of

a Gardener.”’

Class 2—Prize $25 gold. Subject, “The
Proper Grouping and Culture of Trees, Shrubs,
Perennials and Annual Bedding Plants in the
Ornamentation of Private Grounds.”’

Class 3—Prize $20 gold. Subject, ‘‘Prepara-
tion of Ground for and General Treatment of
Hardy Herbaceous Perennials,"” naming a list of
species, limited to 100, providing a succession of
flowers thronghout the entire season.

Class 4—Prize $20 gold. Subject, “How to
Secure a Year’s Vegetable Supply with the Ald
of Coldframes or Hotheds, but no Greenhouses,
Including Sotl Preparation.’

The essay contest is open to profes-
sional gardeners who are engaged in
the capacity of superintendents, head
gardeners or assistant gardeners. Con-
testants will address William H. Waite,

chairman, essay committee, National’

ulars.

and quantity than heretofore this sea-
son. The prices of chrysanthemums
remain steady, but roses, carnations and
other flowers are cheaper than they
were, All flowers bring good prices,
however. Pompons are much more
abundant and find a ready sale. The
larger and more expensive varieties of
chrysanthemums sel] readily at high
prices. The most popular varieties are
William Turner, Bonnaffon, Minnie
Bailey and others. Orchids still are
plentiful and cheap. Sweet peas and
violets are arriving in small quantities,
Roses are more plentiful and there has
been a slight drop in prices. Carna-
tions are more abundant and the qual-
ity is improving week by week. The
prices of carnations now are reason-
able, the blooms selling at $2 to $3 per
hundred, though a few weeks ago. they

The Florists’ Review

Novemamn 16, 1046.

SCRANTON, PA.

The Market.

Business was uneven last week; the
first half was slow. but the second half
found everybody busy. Stock is more
plentiful than during the last few weeks
and the demand has fallen off greatly.
Prices are low. Roses are plentiful and
are sold as low as 24 cents per dozen.
Chrysanthemums are especially fine,
William Turner, Bonnaffon and Eaton
being the best varieties. Sweet peas
are arriving.

Club Meeting.

The regular meeting of the Scranton
Florists’ Club was held at the home of
T. B. McClintock November 12. There
was a large attendance and much busi-
ness was transacted.

C. W. Baldwin, William MacDonald
and Anton Schultheis were appointed a
ways and means committee for the
spring flower show. A motion that the
committee has the power to call on any
member for assistance was carried. Nine
large exhibitors have already taken
space at the spring show.

The following officers were elected for
the ensuing year: President, Ray Mac-
Donald; vice-president, John W. Beagle;
secretary, T. B. McClintock; treasurer,
Miss Gertrude Schultheis. The trustees
are Mrs. J. J. Wade, Miss A. L. Besan-
con, B. E. Cokely and Jacob Webster.
The following were proposed for mem-
bership: James Ramson, of Morel Bros.;
James McAndrew, Walter Hoover, Wil-
liam Perry and John Butler, all of Bald-
win, Florist. Luncheon was served by
Mrs. T. B. McClintock. The next meet-
ing will be held at the Schultheis store
on Linden street. A motion that the
club hold its meetings on the first Mon-
day of each month was carried.

Various Notes.

Baldwin reports business as being
fair. His windows are attractively
trimmed with mums.

Mrs. M. Muir, of Muir & Oo., is on
duty after a week’s illness.

A. L. Besancon & Co. have had a good
trade in cut flowers and plants, espe-
cially ferns, palms, primroses and cye-
lamens. They report that sales on
mums exceed those of any year they
have been in business.

T. B. McClintock has one of the finest
collections of mums in the city. He is
cutting good carnations. ¥F. J. M.

q THIS IS NOT THE TIME
to build greenhouses, but
it is a good time to think
about it. Dietsch construc-

years. Not only are Dietsch
houses among the oldest
standing today,. but you will
find each house an improve-
ment over the last. Our con-
struction is advancing with
the times. We advocate
nothing that has not proved
its value. There will be bet-
ter houses than we are now
building, and they will be
built by us.

Hausman Bros.’ Sweet Pea

House, at Hilton, N. J.

7 HIS is another one of our re-
cently erected jobs, within
short distance of our factory.

It’s one of the ones we will show
you on that motor trip we have asked
you to come and take with us—any
day we can arrange it for your con-
venience.

We can tell you about our houses
in these ads till the cows come home,
but, after all is said and done, there
is nothing like actually seeing the
houses.

This Reconstructed Construction
of ours does not begin to show up
its advantages in photographs.

When you go into one of the houses
and see the wide rafter spacing; the
20-inch glass; the absence of a third

o' the posts and columns; and then
look carefully into all the d:tails of
all the construction features; then
you begin to see why we have been
making so much noise about it.

This house of Hausman Brothers
is 40x125 feet. The rafter spacing
happens to be 8 feet 4 inches and the
glass 16 inches. Itgiv s you a splen-
did opportunity to compare the nar-
row-spacing house with the wide
ones we will show you.

Perhaps you may prefer the nar-
row.

We believe, however, that the wide
one has distinct advanta es in its
favor. .

When can you take that motor
trip with us?

BUFFALO.

The Market.

Buffalo has been enjoying some beau-
tiful weather, unusually warm for No-
vember. The stores have a pleasing ap-
pearance and many of them have dimin-
utive chrysanthemum exhibits, the most
popular mum being William Turner.
Some good Eatons and Yellow Eatons
were seen last week; in the pinks, Maud
Dean made its annual appearance. Ma-
jor Bonnaffon still draws the attention
of the public as a good yellow. Pom-
pons are greatly in demand, especially
Noveltoma and Garza. Roses are sell-
ing well, although not up to the stand-
ard. Better sales are expected after
the mum season is over. Beauties are
somewhat searce. Sunburst, Mock and
Shawyer roses are remarkably good in
color and length of stem. As a whok,
roses are becoming quite plentiful.
Violets are better and enjoy an increas-
ing demand. Valley and orchids are
sufficient for the demand. Carnations
are more abundant and of good quality.
Easter lilies are about the same as last
reported. Snapdragons are few but un-
usually good. Pansies and cosmos still
are to be had, but they are of inferior
grade. The sales of all greens are as
good as usual.

Various Notes.

At the South Park Conservatories,
distinctive chrysanthemums have been
on display for the public. It was re-
ported that November 9 15,000 people
attended the exhibition, and a larger
attendance is expected November 16.

Good begonias and Boston ferns were
noticeable at the greenhouses of 8. A.
Anderson, on Elmwood avenue.

Lehde & Galley, whd opened a flower
shop on Seneca street, October 23, find
business quite satisfactory at the new
stand, as well as at the other store on
Triangle street.

C. F. Christensen is cutting good
Maud Dean mums, for which he finds
a ready sale at a good price.

At the branch store of W. J. Palmer
& Son, W. F. Kasting has on display
a Boston fern measuring eight feet in
diameter.

C. F. Hale, of East Orange, N. J.,
stopped off at Buffalo on his return trip
from the Cleveland flower show. Mr.
Hale was much pleased with the show
in general.

Arthur Kirchhoff, of Batavia, was in
town November 13. A. E.

Upper Sandusky, O.—Constien Bros.
have a sport of Enchantress almost
identical in color with Beaute Poite-

vine.

We have been asked why we persist in
speaking of the many jobs we bave al-
| ready completed. Our reason for doing

this and embodying the names and ad-

dresses of our customers is that anyone
interested in a greenhouse might verify,

| to his complete satisfaction, all our
| claims by correspondisg direct with

any of them.

The one really sure way to secure best
results in your contemplated green-
house is to select the builder whose
claims to superiority are confirmed by
| what he has accomplished for others.

When anyone makes his selection on
the above basis, he will find that the
service we are rendering to others is
just the service that is so vitally impor-
tant to him.

If you are contemplating the erection
of a greenhouse, write us—we can save
money for you. -

HEAD LETTUCE FROM SEED.

Will you kindly tell me what is a
good variety of head lettuce to grow,
and how long it takes to grow, from
seed, a crop ready to cut?

H. S. T.—Mont.

Good varieties are May King, Hit-
tinger’s Belmont and Boston Forcing
Tennis Ball. By starting seed early in
September, three crops can be secured
through the winter. Of course, succes-
sive batches of plants must be started
and be ready to be set out as soon as
each crop is cut. The time required to
mature a crop varies according to the
season. You cannot get over two crops
between now and May 1, but you could
follow the last crop with tomatoes, if
desired. Cc. W.

THRIPS ON LETTUCE.

I am sending you a small vial full
of what I think are thrips. My let-
tuce house is alive with them. ster-
ilized with steam and thought I had
done the job thoroughly. I placed 1-
inch pipes two feet apart, with three-
sixteenth holes every two feet, under
forty pounds of steam, but I did not
get rid of them. My house is about
24x110 feet, with 514-foot sides and
1l-foot gables. I have used seven
ounces of cyanide, fourteen ounces of
sulphuric acid and twenty-eight ounces
of water for this house. The fumiga-
tion was strong enough to burn the let-
tuce a little. I shall appreciate any
advice on this. C. J. S—Pa.

You certainly have a bad dose of
thrips on your lettuce. Sterilization
would be useful for the extermination
of soil pests and fungoid diseases, but
thrips will come and spread in spite of
these precautions if your atmospheric
conditions are too arid, as yours must
have been. I am afraid you cannot
save your present crop, as it appears to
be in an almost hopeless condition. You
cannot use poisonous sprays on plants
if the foliage is to be eaten, and hydro-
cyanic acid gas is the only other real
remedy.

Injury from gas is most likely with
a high temperature. Select as cool a
night as possible when fumigating
again; 40 degrees will not harm the let-
tuce. Give an all-night exposure and
use an equal weight of sulphurie acid
and water. I would suggest using four
jars, each of which should contain two
ounces of cyanide of ninety-eight per
cent quality, and four ounces each of
sulphuric acid and water. Do not fumi-
gate until evening. Use great care in
locking doors, etc. Open them for a
time before entering in the morning;
then ventilate freely. One dose may
not clean your house, so four days later
give it another application. C. W.

HE florist who devises nifty

have to go far for his
idea. He choses something
of timely interest to the
general public, something
the people are thinking
about and talking about,
such as Thanksgiving day,
football season, elections,
horse-races, motor shows, and so on
ad infinitum, whereupon he studies its
relation to his business and, likely
enough, hits on a clever plan of show-
ing it to the buying public, in his win-
dow.

over the mdnager of a movie in one
respect: His window is a means of let-

them to buy, and he can bring custom-
ers into the store, figuratively speak-

picture exhibitor must require his cus-
tomers to pay their money first and

Not so with the florist. His best
chance of winning a customer is to
show him something he wants. The
moving picture man can offer his com-
modity to the public only by the indi-
rect means of posters and lurid illus-

grows. Barnum made a fortune with
circus and sideshows. But why use a
show window for a sideshow unless
you’re in the circus business? Some
merchants make this mistake in their
well-meant endeavor to profit from the
public’s curiosity. They get people to
notice the window, but if they them-
selves have overlooked the primary
principle of window advertising, which
is to direct the spectator’s attention
to the store itself, or the line of mer-
chandise it handles, it will not be sur-
ara if the spectators also lose sight
of it.

A Misfire.

Bad calculation of this sort is com-
mon. Some decorators regularly get
off on the wrong foot. Perhaps you
know a florist who does. An illustra-
tion of publicity that misses its mark
—for the retailer, at least—is the use
of news-pictorial posters and war pho-
tographs pasted on the pane in the ae
that passers-by will stop to look at the
pictures and, while doing so, look in
the window also. So many stores use
the same pictures, or similar pictures,
that they fail to attract notice to any
one store more than another. The only
advertising value the posters ever could
have lies in the fact that they cause

people to stop in front of the window,
and this value diminishes in propor-
tion to the number of stores in the
vicinity which use the same device.

Current news or ideas drawn from
the news of the day, when used for ad-
vertising purposes by individuals, offer
a highly desirable source of publicity,
not to be confused with the sort just
described. Originality goes a long way
in getting up a successful window dis-
play and the florist who contrives to
advertise his own business by utilizing
the public interest in current events is
apt to be the man who sets the pace
for his competitors. So long as his
window does not become a mere side-
show, either by lack of relation to the
florists’ business, or by unduly subor-
dinating the advertising element. just
for the sake of novelty, there is) no
better way of putting a ‘‘pull’’ into
the window.

An Indianapolis War Window.

War, politics, conventions, any sim-
ilar timely subject, affords ideas for
the versatile window decorator. The
illustration on page 15 shows a win-
dow with ‘‘war paint’’ all over it. It
was arranged not simply for the sake
of the timeliness of a war display, but
also to meet the needs of a special occa-

sion. It was one of numerous windows
recently rigged up in military fashion
in Indianapolis, when the state militia,
assisted by United States army officers,
conducted a spectacular fete named
‘¢War in Indiana.’’ Prizes were given
for the windows which carried out the
idea most successfully.

This window was in the store of the
E. G. Hill Floral Co. It was the work
of ©. C. Thomas. A temporary foun-
tain was built in the window, giving
water effect, with background of stone
and bark, making a fort. Cannons ‘pro-
truded over the water, and in the: water
were mines, a submerged submarine, a
torpedo boat, also a battle ship. In
maidais were several aeroplanes and
Zeppelins, while on the land the in-
vading army had a_ sunken fort,
trenches filled with soldiers and can-
nons, the red cross ambulance and tent,
a wireless station and the cavalry. A
6-foot cannon made entirely of flowers
with several stacks of rifles, complete
the window, but Mr. Thomas was care-
ful that the stage setting did not mo-
nopolize the attention to the exclusion
of the things he had for sale, as the
background of ferns and American
Beauties led the eye from the picture
to the interior of the store, as every
topical window decoration should.

HOUSTON, TEX.

Fashions Combined with Flowers.

If the ghosts of the departed florists
had visited the Texas flower show, it
is safe to say they would have shaken
their heads and whispered that things
are not ‘‘as they used to was.’’ For
instead of just plain flower show, like
in the days of old, the Houston show
brought in living models parading
about in elegant gowns and wearing all
manner of bouquets; it saw brides,
bridegrooms and bridesmaids demon-
strating how the flowers and ceremony
go; it saw a demonstration of the lat-
est fashions and frills for ladies and
mere men.

But while the Houston flower show,
which was held November 17 to 20,
was combined with a fashion show,
jewelry show and vaudeville show, the
flower show still remained, and was a
great success because of the large at-
tendance attracted by the special fea-
tures. This show, the second annual
one given by the Texas State Florists’
Association, was scheduled to be a great
hit by its sponsors, and nothing was
left undone that would advertise the
event. Everyone in Houston knew of
the show and itched to pay the single
admission price of 25 cents, or $1 for
the entire show.

The show opened with a parade of
100 decorated automobiles, containing
hundreds of pretty girls, all of whom
had flowers.

The Exhibitors.
While the greater part of the exhib-

its were by amateurs, local florists and
growers from all parts of the country
were represented. Among the exhib-
itors were the Poehlmann Bros. Co., of
Chicago; Joy Floral Co., of Nashville,
Tenn.; Alvin Cape Jessamine & Floral
Co., of Alvin, Tex.; Stuppy Floral Co.,
of St. Joseph, Mo.; E. E. Stone, of Dick-
inson, Tex.; Vaughan’s Seed Store, of

BALTIMORE.

Maryland Week Flower Show.

The annual exhibition of the Mary-
land Horticultural Society opened at
the Fifth Regiment Armory November
16. Governor-elect Harrington and
Mayor Preston, of Baltimore, were in
attendance and spoke before the soci-
ety on that evening. The flower ex-
hibit was in charge of a committee ap-
pointed by the Florists’ Club, to whom
credit must be given for the able and
efficient manner in which the arrange-
ments were carried out. The exhibition
space was well filled and while the num-
ber of exhibits was not so large as for-
merly, the quality of the entries more
than offset the fewness of the exhib-
itors.

Chief among the exhibits must be
mentioned the well grown mum plants,
both standard and in bush form. Mack
Richmond, gardener for. Mrs. W. B.
Cochrane, and Chas. Siegwart divided
the honors. In the cut chrysanthemums
a fine display was made.
son, gardener for Mrs. Henry B. Jacobs,
showed a vase of twenty William
Turners and one vase of twenty
Odessas, which were all that could be
desired. Gustave Lotze showed twenty
Nerissas, which carried the honors in
pinks, and also won on twenty Apple-
tons. He also showed a fine seedling of
a light lemon color. M. J. Hannigan
showed good Chadwicks, both white
and yellow. The R. Vincent, Jr., &
Sons Co. exhibited fine pompon mums,
well arranged in rustic baskets, for
which a blue ribbon was awarded.

The plant division was large. The
groups were well arranged and attract-
ed much attention. The exhibit by
George Morrison was awarded first in
this class, and in the cut mum ¢lass for
private gardeners Mr. Morrison cap-
tured most of the honors. I. H. Moss,
Harrison’s Nurseries, and F.C. Bauer
had good displays of hardy evergreens.
Samuel Feast & Sons showed .a speci-
men cibotium, which was awarded a
blue ribbon, as was a large specimen
of Harrisii, also exhibited by Feast &
Sons.

Roses were shown on the second day
and they were all of extremely good
quality. Stevenson Bros. exhibited
Prince E. ©. d’Arenberg, Sunburst,
Ophelia, Richmond and Killarney. This
firm was winner of prizes for a vase of
Mrs. Russell and a vase of Killarney
Brilliant. Lehr Bros. showed Thora, a
sport of Maryland; White Killarney,
Maryland and Ophelia, all of which

were good. James Hamilton showed
Hoosier Beauty, which would have been
awarded first in its class if the vase
had contained the proper number of
blooms. Lohr & Fritze exhibited Kil-
larney, White Killarney and Maryland.

The classes for carnations brought
out some good competition. They were
staged November 18. Gustave Lotze
was the largest winner. James Hamil-
ton, Joseph Merritt, IL. H. Moss, Charles
Siegwart and A. S. Richmond were
winners.

In designs, some fine exhibits were
staged. obert L. Graham won first
on a wreath of, white carnations, red
roses and valley, but a wreath of
Ophélia roses and cattleyas, by Mrs.
Mary Johnston, was a close second.

In the class for basket arrangements,
Mrs. Mary Johnston won on a beautiful
basket of. Bonnaffon mums. Samuel
Feast & Sons were second with a bas-
ket of cattleyas, pompons and violets.

NovwpMBerr 25, 1915.

An automobile covered with yellow
mums, which won first as the most orig-
inal design, was entered by Robert W.
Johnston.

The Florex Gardens, of North Wales,
Pa., showed a vase of Prima Donna
roses, which was awarded a certificate
of merit. The South Park Floral Co.,
of Newcastle, Ind., sent a short-stemmed
pink rose, with a sulphur yellow re-

‘ verse, which was named Baby Doll. The
carnations shown by the J. D. Thomp-
son Carnation Co., of Joliet, Ill., were
Aviator and Superb, a good light pink,
somewhat darker than Enchantress Su-
preme. Bassett & Washburn, of Chi-
cago, exhibited a vase of the new Belle
Washburn carnation. C. H. Frey, of
Lincoln, Neb., sent a vase of his new
red carnation, Nebraska. Miss Theo,
shown by Littlefield & Wyman, of
North Abington, Mass., is a dark pink
of a good shade. The carnation that
attracted as much attention as any was
Morning Glow, a pleasing shade of
light pink, of the fringed-petal type,
which was sent by Edward Winkler,
of Wakefield, Mass. An exhibit of seed-
ling mums was sent by Elmer D. Smith
& Co., of Adrian, Mich., which: arrived
in bad shape, although some of the
pompons came through all right.

The judges during the first days of
the exhibition were Messrs. Gude and
Field, of Washington, D. C., and S. S.
Pennock, of Philadelphia.

THREE EASTERN EXHIBITORS.

It is apparent from this year’s flower
shows that .exhibitors are spending
more thought, time and money on the
staging of their exhibits. Every up-to-
date exhibitor nowadays aims to stage
his display in an original or unusual
manner. This spirit is commendable,
for it has been largely responsible for

Johnston Bros. were;*winners of the
first prize. The second illustration gives
a view of an exhibit by Philips Bros.,

of Newark, N. J., at the first annual
mum show of the Essex County Florists’
Club, held at the ev ge ad store,

best all-round display by a retailer.
The third illustration shows the flower,
fruit and vegetable exhibit of Duke’s

this exhibit, which was awarded a spe-
cial prize and gold medal.

THE CLEVELAND ROSE.

Regarding the new rose named Cleve-
land as the result of a voting contest
during the recent show, ©. H. Totty
says: ‘‘We are distributing this
variety in 1916. It is a seedling from
Hugh Dickson, Ltd., of Belfast, Ireland,

‘and we believe will make its mark as

a forcing rose on account of its wonder-
ful color. It produces a tremendous
quantity of medium length blooms,
large and full, and the color is a won-
derful shade of rose pink, with an un-
derlying base of orange which will
hold the color even in the hottest
weather.’’

SOLANUM SHOOTS WITHERING.

We are enclosing a twig from one of
our Jerusalem cherry plants. It may
be quite dry when you receive it, as it
is already pretty dry and qprled, before
being mailed. We have two batches,
one in a warm house and the other in
a cool one. They are field-grown and
bushy and apparently healthy, but
every little while one of them begins
to wither and curl up its leaves. Cut-
ting off the affected twigs does no good,
so we throw the plants out. What is
the cause of the trouble?

G. W. H. & S.—Pa.

This is not at all an unusual occur-
rence. The plants in question suffered
more or less in the lifting. Probably
all the soil fell away from their roots,
and unless treated with great care they
would not establish themselves like
plants which had even a small ball of
earth when potted. I think if you will
examine the wilting plants you will find
them to be poorly established in the
pots. Such plants need a shaded loca-
tion and should be sprayed once or
twice a day until they are strong
enough to stand direct sunshine without
wilting. This is not a disease, as you
may have imagined. About everyone
who is in the habit of potting up
solanums has had similar experiences.

GOOD COMMERCIAL VARIETIES.

I am interested in the reply of A. F.
J. B. to F. C., under the title of ‘‘Good
Commercial Varieties,’’ in The Review
of November 11, page 42, and I am
submitting herewith a list of the va-
rieties we grow, so that A. F. J. B.
may revise it, if that is deemed ad-
visable. I should like, also, to have
him state his reasons why any particu-
lar variety he may suggest is better
than the one we grow. Also, will he
kindly give the approximate height?

For instance, in his list Mayor
Weaver follows Chieftain, where we
have Dr. Enguehard. Is Weaver su-
perior to Enguehard, and why? We do
not grow Golden Glow, as it is too
early and of decidedly inferior quality.
As to the magnificent Wm. Turner, this
is easily the best of all the varieties
we grow, even for commercial purposes.
I presume the criticism of this variety
by A. F. J. B. has more particular ref-
erence to growers who ship their flow-
ers. We sell directly to the consumer
and rarely ship any. For this reason,
would A. F. J. B. recommend Nakota
and Elberon? If so, where would he
place them in my list—I mean, as re-
gards the season of blooming?

The varieties we grow are: White—
Smith’s Advance, Early Snow, Charles
Rager, Wm. Turner, White Chadwick
and Timothy Eaton. Yellow—Chryso-
lora, Ramapo, Appleton, Golden Chad-

wick and Yellow Eaton. Pink—Unaka,
Chieftain, Dr. Enguehard and Maud
Dean. J. R.—Pa.

There is perhaps no floricultural sub-
ject on which there can be a greater
diversity of opinion than on the ques-
tion under discussion. There are a
great many mighty good varieties of
chrysanthemums. There is also a great
diversity in the taste of individuals, be-
sides the differences in markets and
the conditions under which the blooms
are sold. We grow almost entirely for
the local wholesale market. This mar-
ket will consume large quantities of
medium-sized blooms, a grade that will
sell at wholesale for $1 to $2 per dozen
blooms. The compact, incurved blooms
are preferred, to the exclusion of such
varieties as Golden Wedding, etc.

Smith’s Advance is reflexed and is
accepted because there is no other in
the market at that time. If Early
Frost will come in as early, it will be
grown in place of Advance. Arlette
Dubois is incurved and Alice Salomon
is also a loose incurved bloom. Your
Early Snow would sell here and might
be easier to handle than Salomon, which
has a tendency to be uneven. Mrs.
Rager is our ideal of a commercial
mum. It is one of the easiest varie-
ties to grow, always produces a good
bloom and can be grown with equal
success with one to six blooms per
plant, the only difference being in the
size of the bloom. Lynnwood Hall pro-
duces large, pure white blooms, with
good stem and foliage. White Dean,
like its parent, Maud Dean, has won-

derful substance and comes near the
ideal commercial mum. W. H. Chad-
wick is par excellence, when well done,
but is a little hard to propagate. We

do*not grow Timothy Eaton any more.

When well done, this variety 1s good,
but we found that when grown to a
medium-sized bloom, there were too
many of those dirty white flowers
among them. It bears too many culls
unless it is grown especially well.

The pink section is the weakest of
the three. Unaka is far from satisfac-
tory, but the best at its date. Fedora
is a pretty, straight-petaled bloom.
We are looking for better varieties to
displace these. Chieftain is an ideal
commercial sort, but somewhat lacking
in size when grown to more than one
flower. Mayor Weaver has a beautiful
color, a gagod stem and fair size. Dr.
Enguehard produced so many off-colored
blooms that it became unprofitable.
Maud Dean fills the bill for a Thanks-
giving day pink; it can be grown to
either large or small size successfully.

In yellow we want only a few Golden
Glow for extra early. Our main early
yellow is Comoleta, which is of fine
color and ideal form, and can be grown
to as many as three blooms per plant.
Chrysolora makes a fine bloom. Robert
Halliday is one of the best commercial
yellows, in spite of the fact that it has
been grown for about twenty-five years;

- it is of good commercial size and has

good form, bright color and a high per-

SALT EXTERMINATOR OF GRUBS.
The inquiry by C. B., of Ohio, in The
Review for November 11, seeking an

“exterminator of the grubworms in his

carnation field, has interested me great-
ly, for I have been troubled by this pest
and have found a reliable insecticide
for it. Common salt sprayed over the
field at the rate of twenty barrels to an
acre, directly after fall plowing, will
help to rid the field of grubworms and
other insects. The salt also acts as a
mild fertilizer. T. M. Fitzgerald.

TWO QUERIES ON STIGMONOSE.

You will see that the enclosed carna-

tion leaves are. affected with some sort

of disease. Please give me the name
of the disease and suggest a remedy.
A. R.—Ind.

Can you tell from the looks of the en-
clused leaves what is the matter with
my White Enchantress carnations? I
have never before had any experience
with this sort of trouble. The plants
were benched about September 1, but

centage of perfect blooms; it can be
grown to two flowers. Ramapo pro-
duces too many culls and is quite sus-
ceptible to red spider. The spider loves
it. Appleton has the same faults.
Lena Baum is a sport from Mrs. Rager,
identical in every respect except the
color, which is a straw yellow. Major
Bonnaffon needs no description; many
are discarding it, as it seems to be los-
ing vitality. Dolly Dimple is a reflexed
bloom; it is so fine and such an easy
doer that grower and retailer alike ac-
cept it as one of the best. Nagoya is
a deep yellow of medium size; it can
be grown two flowers to the plant and
always makes a well-shaped flower; this
is also true of Dolly Dimple. Golden
Chadwick is fine when well done, but is
not so easy to manage as the last two.
Yellow Eaton meets with the same ob-
jections as the variety it sported from.

We grow Wm. Turner, Nakota and
Elberon in limited quantity. As stated
previously, they must be grown to
fancy blooms, or the blooms will lack
finish and the stems are likely to be
weak. Nakota always has good stems.
Our market will consume a _ limited
quantity of these large fellows, but not
nearly as many as of the medium-sized
grade. Naturally, we encourage the
sale of these large ones, but we have
found that an oversupply of them has
a tendency to reduce values all along
the line.

have never grown as the others have.
What few blooms they bear do not look
as they should. What can I do for
them? They are too woody and grow
too slowly. What ‘would be the best
solution to spray them with? The
foliage is speckled all the way to the
top. G. W. B.—N. Y.

A. R.’s plants are suffering from ‘the
disease known as stigmonose. For this
he can do but little until he succeeds
in getting the plants into an active
state of growth. Avoid overwatering
and overfeeding. If the soil was good
to start with, there is probably enough
plant food in it to run along until
toward spring. Keep the surface open
by frequent slight scratching. When
propagating avoid all plants which show
many of these light spots on the foliage.
It is necessary to use great discrimina-
tion in this respect, however, as some
varieties, such as the Enchantress fam-
ily, are sure to show it to a greater or
less extent, according to the cultural
conditions.

G. W. B.’s plans seem to show the
effects of both stigmonose snd red
spider. Those light spots inside of the
leaves are caused by the stigmonose,
while that scurfy appearance on the
surface is caused by the spider. If G.
W. B. will examine the leaves closely
he will be able to see the tiny insects.
For the stigmonose the treatment will
be the same as has just been recom-
mended for A. R.’s plants. Salt water
sprayed on the foliage is the most effec-
tive remedy for red spider. Get an
Evans salt sprayer and use it accord-
ing to directions. A. F. J. B.

THE VARIETY IS MATCHLESS.

We are sending you, under separate
cover, a sample of carnations which we
bought last spring and for which we
paid a good price. The flowers ought
to be large, but we have had none
larger than the ones sent. The plants
are strong and vigorous and yield fairly
well, but the stems are short and the
flowers are small. If you can tell us
the name of the variety, we shall great-
ly appreciate the favor. These are
growing in a house where other kinds
are doing well. 8. G. C.—Wyo.

The variety in question is Matchless.
This carnation, as it is grown in these
parts, has fine, large blooms. The stems
would, at this date, be short or fairly
long, according to the way in which
the plants were handled. If you plant-
ed later than the second week in Au-
gust, they would likely be short now.
The foliage enclosed with the blooms
seems healthy and, with ordinarily good
care, these plants will give you first-
class stock in due time. A. F. J. B.

FUNGOUS DISEASE.

Enclosed you will find some diseased
carnation shoots. The branches are
drying up and dying, and we cannot
find the cause or a remedy. .We have
used two applications of lime on the
soil in the bench, but have not allowed
any of the lime to get onto the plants.
There were signs of stem-rot, but the
lime checked it. The leaves of some
of the plants have light streaks on
them. What can we do to stop this
trouble? Most of the plants are healthy
and have a.good crop of shoots in all
stages of growth. S. B.—N. Y.

Applying lime to the soil will have
little or no effect on the disease which
is troubling your carnations. It is a
fungous disease, which must be treated
locally, and the best remedy is Bor-
deaux mixture. One or two thorough
applications will probably check it. Cut
out what affected branches you see be-
fore you apply the Bordeaux, as they
will die anyway. A. F. J. B.

CARNATION SUPERB.

In The Review for November 18 the
following paragraph appeared in the
report of the Chicago show:

‘*Superb, entered in the flesh pink
classes by the Thompson Carnation Co.,
was ruled out as being too dark to com-
pete in this color, and a protest was
filed. Superintendent P. W. Peterson
pointed out that at the Cleveland show
Superb won two firsts and two seconds
in classes open only to flesh pink.’’

With reference to this N. P. Miller,
secretary of the Chicago show, states:

Church Wedding Decoration by W. D. Salmon & Co., Grenada, Miss.

‘A protest was entered by G. M.
Fish, manager of the J. D. Thompson
Carnation Cco., on this carnation, and
I wish to state through your paper that
the judges decided as follows: ‘We
scored the three entries in this class,
and your entry lost out by one-half
point.’ This was signed by J. S., Wil-
son, W. A. Kennedy and August Koch.
It was not a case of color, but of
points.’’

SALMON’S DECORATION.

What may be done by an enterprising
florist in a small town in the way of a
wedding decoration is shown by the two
accompanying illustrations. This was
one of several large wedding orders
turned out during the month of June
by W. D. Salmon & Co., Grenada, Miss.,

which ran into the hundreds of dollars.
This particular: decoration was in the
First Baptist church at Grenada for the
Brown-Brewer wedding, and was the
work of E. J. Weyneth.

The pulpit was occupied by a white
Italian pergola, over which were twined
yellow rambler roses. The white lattice
which screened the organ was also deco-
rated with yellow ramblers, as were the
arches and windows of the church.
Palms and ferns filled the baptistry in
the background. Along the aisle were
white columns decorated with ramblers
and supporting French baskets filled
with Sunburst roses. The color scheme
was further carried out by yellow and
blue candles. This was in keeping with
the gowns of the bridesmaids and ma-
trons, half of whom wore blue and half
yellow.

a SUGGESTIONS

Hardy Lilies.

The importations of Lilium speciosum
and L. auratum will soon be here. Flo-
rists doing a retail trade can hardly
afford to be without some of each va-
riety. Use good-sized pots for them.
Those eight to ten inches in diameter,
containing four to eight bulbs each,
will give better returns with less labor
than smaller pots containing one or two
bulbs each. If the soil is fairly moist,
do not water for some time. The pots
can be stored in a cool house, below
a bench clear from drip, or on a cellar
floor. They will naturally flower from
June until September, according to how
they are forced or retarded. L. speci-
osum album is invaluable in design
work. L. speciosum Melpomene, or
magnificum, are also extremely useful
colored forms.

Lilium auratum is an uncertain lily.
It starts irregularly. Some large bulbs
will never flower at all. This: may be
due to premature digging or to disease.
It is a good plan to put the bulbs sing-
ly in 4-inch pots and, after they are
well started, a number can be placed
together in large pots. If this is not
done, the different spikes will not flower
uniformly.

For outdoor planting it is well to pro-
tect the ground where they are to go,
using a mulch of straw or leaves. In
pees cover nine or ten inches deep.

ut some sand below and over the
bulbs. Do .not bring any fresh manure
in contact with them, but you can, if
you wish, give the surface a mulch of
such material. It is much more safis-
factory to plant now than to pot the
bulbs and plant them out in the spring.
Do not keep any variety of lily out of
the soil any longer than is absolutely
necessary, as they soon shrivel and lose
much of their vitality.

Planting Late Dutch Bulbs.

At this season there are always some
tempting offers of left-over Dutch
bulbs, and, with the ground still open
and in fine condition for planting, the
present is a good time to purchase any
narcissi or tulips, planting either out-
doors or in coldframes, for spring flow-
ering, to follow stock which has been in
the flats for some time. The idea that
bulbs will not do well if planted at
this date is all wrong. A few years
ago I planted thousands of narcissi and
tulips in Christmas week and they
bloomed satisfactorily. It will pay to
try a few in coldframes. In these it
is possible to advance or retard them
easily; in fact, by using board shut-
ters over them during hot spells they
can be kept back later than bulbs in
the open air. Try some of the Darwin
and cottage tulips in frames and they
will prove extremely serviceable when
the forced bulbs are over.

Pentstemons.,

Pentstemons raised from winter or
spring sown seeds are late in flowering.
To. secure strong plants, put in a good

’ batch of cuttings now in a cold green-

house. Seeds may be sown, if-preferred,
but if stock plants are on the place,
cuttings, which root easily, will be
found the more satisfactory. Pentste-
mons are splendid border plants, good
for bedding and excellent for cutting.
I wonder if any enterprising florist has
tried them in benches as a spring’ crop.
There seems no good reason why they
would not succeed if treated in the
same way as snapdragons, and certainly
they would prove a pleasing addition
to our list of spring-flowering plants,
where something out of the common is
always asked for.

Antirrhinums.

To follow chrysanthemums, there are
few better crops than snapdragons.
Far the best selling color is pink. A
more limited number of white and yel-
low and a still smaller number of red
can be sold. Do not dig up and plant
any cut-back, field-grown plants; they
are not worth the candle. Young plants

SEASONABLE NOTES. —

Calanthes.

The foliage of calanthes should be
retained as late as possible. Do not,
therefore, withhold water too suddenly,
but give it in much reduced amounts
from this time on. Calanthes want a
warm house, not less than 60 degrees
at night, and 65 degrees is better. As
the flowers develop give them, if possi-
ble, a drier heat and a lower tempera-
ture, but not below 58 degrees at night.
The spikes are now pushing up and,
given warm treatment, many plants
should be well flowered for the holi-
days.

Vanda Cerulea.

Some of the Vanda cerulea have al-
ready flowered; others are just showing
their spikes. These latter will bloom
at a time when such flowers are valu-
able. As soon as spikes are percepti-
ble be sure to protect them from
marauding snails with a band of <ot-
ton-wood. Plants of this vanda do

from 2%-inch or 3-inch pots, seedlings
preferred, should be used. There are
times of glut in the wholesale markets,
but many growers do not ship there and
can move all their flowers at home.
There is no better paying crop for the
average country florist than snap-
dragons. Seed from a reliable strain
comes from seventy-five to ninety per
cent true to color. Seedlings are more
vigorous than cuttings and will flower
profitably over a longer period. We
have had plants benched early in Au-
gust which were full of flower when
pulled out the following July, and
these had only four and one-half inches
of soil. Careful watering and feeding
kept them going. For planting out now,
allow the plants 10x12; later in the
season they can go as close as 8x8, but
the wider space now gives the best re-
turns.

Let the young plants come right into
flower before heading them back. If
you pinch them while the shoots are
soft, the plants will break weakly and
most of the shoots will fail to flower.
As soon as a crop is cut off, do not de-
pend on any grassy growth which has
not flowered, but on shoots which start
from the base of the plants. Leave a
little of the upper growth on until these
get well started, then remove it. Keep
a night temperature of 45 to 50 de-
grees for snapdragons. The lower fig-
ure gives somewhat fewer winter flow-
ers, but a much heavier crop of finer
quality in the spring.

CHIDS

not need a high degree of heat; the
cool end of the cattleya bouse with
good light will suit them admirably.
Keep some live sphagnum on the sur-
faces of the pots. The plants seem to
thrive better with this moss covering.
To flower this beautiful blue orchid
successfully, the plants must not be
heavily shaded in the summer. Often
the finest, dark-leaved plants will not
flower at all.

Phalenopsis.

Phalenopsis, the beautiful East In-
dian orchid, is not so greatly appre-
ciated in the east as in California, but
it is pleasing to see how its culture is
increasing. The plants must have a
warm, moist house. They need more
shade than probably any other orchid,
to prevent the beautiful shiny leaves
from burning, and they must be ven-
tilated with extreme care. All air
must be well warmed before reaching
the plants; anything in the nature of a
draft is injurious. P. Schilleriana,
pink suffused with lavender, and P.
amabilis, pure white, are the two most
profitable varieties to grow, the last
named being most in demand. When

occasion permits, sponge the plants
with tepid water. This, if done care-
fully, not only keeps the foliage clean,
but also prevents red spider from get-
ting a foothold, and it is in winter,
when much fire heat is used, that this
sponging is most necessary. To grow
' phalenopsis well, a house should be
provided with tanks of water in order
to prevent aridity.

WHEN CATTLEYAS ARE BULBS.

The United States Court of Customs
Appeals has sustained the contention of
Maltus & Ware that certain orchid
*‘bulbs’’ imported through the port of
New York, which were assessed with
duty by the collector of customs at
twenty-five per cent ad valorem, were
mother flowering ‘‘bulbs,’’ imported
exclusively for propagating purposes,
and were therefore entitled to free en-
try under paragraph 210 of the tariff
act of 1913. The Board of United
States General Appraisers at New York
had overruled the protest of the im-
porters.

The decision of the court is impor-
tant, inasmuch as it sets at rest the
question as to whether or not orchids,
by reason of their peculiar method of
propagating, are to be considered strict-
ly as mother bulbs. The court says
that the evidence fairly shows that the
thickened portion of the cattleya is not
a true bulb, but is a pseudo-bulb. Noth-
ing is to be found, however, in the tariff
act of 1913, or in its legislative his-
tory, which would justify the conclusion
that Congress intended that the term
**bulbs’’ should be given a strictly
scientific or botanical meaning. That
such an intention can not be attrib-
uted to Congress, the court states, is
established by the fact that paragraph
210 of the act enumerates canna, dahlia,
herbaceous peony, Iris Kempferi, be-
gonia and gloxinia bulbs, which, ac-
cording to competent witnesses intro-
duced by the government, are not in
a botanical sense bulbs at all, but are
pseudo-bulbs, just as much as were the
bulbs which were here the subject of
controversy. The testimony rather
strengthens the view that it is not the
legislative purpose to confine the pro-
viso to true bulbs; that is to say, to
bulbs recognized as such by botanists.

The court does not decide whether
cattleya bulbs which have not yet flow-
ered are entitled to free entry under
the proviso to paragraph 210. The
bulbs in question had already produced
flowers and leaves. Cc. L. L.

ON A RICH MAN’S TOMB.

What is seen or not seen, in a pic-
ture or elsewhere, depends largely on
each observer’s habit of thought, on
the nature of his interest or curiosity.
For instance, a person who has no in-
terest in florists’ pursuits would see in
the illustration on this page an ele-
gant mausoleum, surrounded by strik-
ingly beautiful grounds. The object
on the door of the tomb would only be
one of the minor details. But the floral
designer with a sharp eye for business
would see a wreath, a large and ap-
parently well-executed wreath, with a
tomb and pretty scenery for a back-
ground, and he might remark regretfully
that the background was so big and im-
posing as to detract from the fine ef-
ect of the principal feature, the
wreath.

Wreath Placed Annually on the Tomb of Morosini.

At any rate, the illustration was in-
tended primarily to display the wreath.
Yet the background also has its signifi-
cance, as a testimonial to the wreath
and its maker, for a poor specimen of
the designer’s art would not be likely
to be placed in a position of such honor.

The wreath was the work of A. Kott-
miller, 426 Madison avenue, New York
city, and was made of orchids and
valley. The orchids were principally
oncidiums and vandas. The mausoleum
which the wreath adorned is situated
in Woodlawn cemetery, New York, and
is the last earthly resting place of C. P.
Morosini, a partner of Jay Gould. An
equally large and costly wreath—val-
ued at several hundred dollars — is
placed at the entrance of the tomb on
each anniversary of this rich man’s
death.

FOR NEPHROLEPIS GROWERS.

Aid from Botanic Garden.

At the Brooklyn Botanic Garden
there has been assembled a collection
of between sixty and seventy varieties
of nephrolepis, over fifty of which are
named, as shown in the lists given be-
low. The catalogues of English growers
offer about forty additional varieties,
which the Garden expects to purchase
within a few months.

In. addition to maintaining this col-
lection for the purpose of scientific
study, the Garden desires to make it of
value to American growers of neph-
rolepis, and makes herewith the follow-
ing offer: Small plants or runners of
any of the plants named will be fur-
nished to growers interested in trying
them out as fast as a limited supply
of stock plants will allow. Requests
for information regarding any of the
varieties listed below will be answered
by the writer of this note as completely
as available data will permit. Further-
more, the Garden is having reprinted
the writer’s article on nephrolepis pre-
pared for Bailey’s Cyclopedia of Ameri-
can Horticulture, and will be glad to
send a copy of this reprint to any
grower on request. This contains a gen-
eral discussion of nephrolepis, with de-
scriptions of all the varieties about
which information was obtainable.

In return growers are asked to send
in any new forms which they may pro-
duce, and also any old forms—such, for
example, as Barrowsii, which has ‘not
yet been obtainable in the United
States, although listed in English cata-
logues. In connection with the cyclo-
pedia article the writer will welcome
and greatly appreciate notification of
any mistakes or omissions or other in-
formation pertinent to the subject.

List 1. Varieties of N. exaltata of authenti-
cated identification, with two or three exceptions
noted, the stock plants having been obtained
from their original source:

N. exaltata (from Porto Rico).

Bostoniensis (Becker).

Piersoni (?), elegantissima, elegantissima im

Besides these, other forms to the num-
ber of ten or fifteen are being grown
at the Garden. Some of them are pos-
sibly of no commercial value, but others
are of value and are likely to be intro-
duced eventually. The latter have been
sent to the Garden with the understand-
ing that they will not be allowed to go
out. R. C. Benedict,

ODEN

TO MAKE HYDRANGEAS BLUE.

The discussion on how to make hy-
drangeas blue, begun in The Review of
October 14 and continued in the issues
of October 21 and November 4, has
interested me, and as a grower of hy-
drangeas I would like to give my expe-
riences in this respect. I have found
that hydrangea flowers will become
blue. if alum is used in the water; also
that if the soil does not contain iron,
nails and old metal placed in the soil
or water will make the flowers blue.
I have taken pink-flowering plants and
made them produce blue flowers by
these methods.

At Columbus, Ga., the hydrangeas are
all blue, due to the fact that alum is
used in purifying the water for drink-
ing purposes. Moreover, the soil at
Columbus contains iron.

On our ranch the soil contains iron,
but we have a private water supply,
in which alum is not used. As all the
hydrangeas not treated are pink, it
stands to reason that both alum and
iron are needed to change the color of
the flowers.

I start the treatment when the flower
heads begin to form, watering the
plants twice a week with the mixturé
of alum and water. To a 1-gallon can
of water I use as much alum as will
safely rest on two forefingers. When
the flowers are about to open, I dis-
continue this treatment and use clear
water. By these means—using alum
in water and the iron in the soil—I
have obtained all the blue hydrangeas
I wanted, and I am sure that anyone
trying this formula will have similar
results. J. C. Armstrong.

CONTROL OF HYDRANGEA COLOR.

I have become interested in the dis-
cussion in recent numbers of The Re-
view on the control of color in flower-
ing Hydrangea Hortensia. I fully be-
lieved that there was a_ practical
method in use that insured success, and
also that some of the expert growers
would submit the answer, but this has
not happened, and the replies from
competent correspondents lead me to,
infer that ‘‘there ain’t any _ sich
method.’’ If this is really the case,
it is not creditable to the profession.

By referring to a few sources of in-
formation, I found that the ‘‘ capricious
change of color’’ was commented on as
early as 1796, and it would thus appear
that we have been on the quest ever
since. As no further suggestions may
appear, it may prove of some interest
and possibly of some value to sum-
marize the matter I have found _re-
corded. Extended reference would no
doubt yield some modifying experience.

The observations refer about equally
to pot plants and outdoor garden plants.
Pot plants in composts of decayed or
decaying vegetable matter — leaves,
wood, muck, bog, marsh and peat soils
—yielded results varying in color and
roduced in varying periods of time,
rom six months to a number of years.

Where change of color was sought by
the use of alum or iron solutions, there
was like variability.

Of outdoor plants the same observa-:

tions are recorded. Some plants had
pink flowers, others blue ones, and still
others had both colors on the same plant
at the same time, in several tones of
color.

There was also reversion of blue to
pink and pink to blue after long periods.
This seemed to indicate that in some
soils the active agent was in such form
that it required a lengthy period to
become available; in other instances it
seemed to be existent in sufficient quan-
tity to produce color for a term of
years.

In outdoor changes credit is also
given to oxide of iron, sulphide of iron,
saline springs, fluor spar, etc., all of
which were present in various localities
where changes were observed.

Two positive statements appear from
individual experimenters. One of them
says that the use of liquid manure will
invariably produce pink flowers, no
matter what other agents may be em-
ployed therewith. The other says that
three parts of old, fine charcoal to one

art of soil produced handsome, deep

lue flowers in successive batches of

plants during a 3-year period. I believe

a year’s observations at an experiment

station would disclose the active agent.

The Market.

There has been a decided change in
the weather during the last two weeks.
Instead of pleasant, Indian summer
days we are having unusually bad
weather; at times it is rather cold, the
temperature going down to the freez-
ing point and below, with heavy rains.

Business for November so far has
not been as good as expected and is
rather disappointing after having such
good trade in October. However, it is
hoped that the Thanksgiving trade will
make up for the dullness during the
first part of this month. Stock is plen-
The cut of chrysanthemums is
heavy. Roses and carnations are plen-
tiful and are the best ever produced
at this season of the year. Chrysanthe-
mum day, which was observed Novem-
ber 13, did not come up to expectations,
although considerable stock was sold,
especially in the cheaper grade of

mums.

Club Meeting.

The Tri-City Florists’ Club held its
November meeting at the conservato-
ries at Vander Veer park, the chrysan-
themum show being at its height. A
novelty of merit was a chance seedling
of Primula obconica with double flow-
ers of a fine pink shade. Some half
dozen or more plants propagated from
the original seedling were shown and
should prove a good addition.

In addition to the regular order of
business, the question of holding a Tri-
City flower show was brought up and
the following committee appointed to
consider the matter and report at the
next meeting: Moline, J. Staack, A.
Anderson, C. Sorensen; Rock Island,
H. Gaethje, L. Stapp, Ed. Patten; Dav-
enport, Wm. Goos, H. Pauli, C. J. Rear-
don.

A. Anderson gave a talk on the Chi-
cago flower show, as did C. J. Reardon.
Chas. Schwake, of New York, a visitor,
also gave a short and interesting ad-
dress comparing the Chicago and Cleve-
land shows. John Williamson, of Bos-
ton, a visitor, favored the club with a
talk on clematis.

C. O. E. Boehm, superintendent of
pete anrouuced supper and the mem-

ers were unanimous in the belief that
the meeting was one of the best yet.

The Market.

Trade has been about all we could
ask, with plenty of stock to be had.
Mums are getting pretty well down and
this week will wind up nearly all except
a few stragglers. Mums have moved
much better this season than usual.
Roses are of extra fine quality and
there has been almost an oversupply,
owing to the heavy demand on mums,
but we are feeling easy now. Carna-
tions are more plentiful and are used
up rather closely right along. Valley
seems to be scarce. Sweet peas are
making their appearance and are wel-
comed for corsage work. There are @
few Paper Whites and they find ready
sale.

Various Notes.

Samuel Graff has opened a branch
store in the Hartman Theatre building,
and has nice quarters there. While it
is small, it has a good front for show-
ing stock.

The Evans Floral Co. has discontin-
ued its stand in thet Virginia hotel and
is looking after all business at the
greenhcuses.

MINNEAPOLIS.

The Market.

The market and business conditions
have not changed to any extent, al-
though the social functions and party
decorations have become more numer-
ous. There is plenty of all kinds of
stock and most of it is of first-class
quality. Carnations are exceptionally
slow and have been for the last three
weeks. Tho market is overstocked, but
a decided change is expected as Thanks-
giving approaches.

Chrysanthemums are fast ebbing
away and the Eaton varieties will soon
be the remaining flowers. The sales
of mums have been good this season
and some extra choice stock was sent to
the market by the local growers. Pom-
pons continue abundant.

Valley is not overplentiful. Violets
still are on the short end of the market,
but the near-by growers are shipping
in some excellent stock. California vio-
lets still are arriving, to supply the
ever increasing demand. Roses are be-
ginning to pick up, both in sale and
condition. Beauties are decidedly
scarce and the demand is far in excess
of the supply. They are commencing
to take the place of chrysanthemums to
some extent.

Big Doings in Prospect.

The Minnesota State Horticultural
Society will hold its forty-ninth annual
meeting at the West hotel December
7 to 9. Allied organizations will meet
with it and have part in the program.
Thomas E. Cashman, nurse
florist, of Owatonna, is president, and
A. W. Latham, of Minneapolis, is sec-
retary. The membership is 3,412. The
program of the meetings includes the
following subjects of trade interest:

lary and has on his program one nurs-
eryman, W. S. Higbie, of Eden Prairie.

During the state meeting, and in the
same hotel, the Florists’ Club will have
a flower show. The committee had a
final meeting last week, at the store of
Rice Bros., to complete all details of
the arrangements.

Various Notes.

The florists’ school session November

18 had Wm. Desmond, of the L. 8.
Donaldson Co., with an excellent paper
on salesmanship.
_ Hans Rosacher is planning the erec-
tion of five more greenhouses. He will
devote two to roses and two to carna-
tions, the fifth to be used for ferns.

Will Bros. are sending in some excel-
lent violets and chrysanthemums.

ST. PAUL.

The Market.

Conditions last week were satisfac-
tory to both grower and retailer. The
market on roses and violets is some-
what tight, but mums, carnations, bou-
vardias, orchids, etc., are plentiful and
of good quality. The demand readily
takes care of the supply. Mums will
be cleaned up for Thanksgiving. Pot
plants of all kinds for the Christmas
holidays are now in the best of condi-
tion and a good supply will be on hand,
from present indications.

Club Election.

The St. Paul Florists’ Club held its
regular meeting at the O. R. Eckhardt
store November 16. The annual elec-
tion of officers resulted as follows:
President, John Nyloff; vice-president,
William Keeling; secretary, O. R. Eck-
hardt; treasurer, N. C. Hansen.

The attendance was large and a num-

‘ber of important topics were discussed.

Various Notes.

Henry Puvogel has erected a 50-foot,
round, brick chimney, to replace his
old sheetiron smokestack. This con-
cern reports business good and stock
in the best of condition.

Messrs. A. Lauritzen and William
Swanson have purchased the old park
board greenhouses at Como park. The
range, which consists of eight houses
forty-seven feet long, will be wrecked
by the new owners.

The West Side Floral Co. reports
business good. The mums have nearly
all been cut. They were entirely satis-
factory. Bulb stock, carnations and
sweet peas look fine. This concern re-
cently purchased two adjoining lots,
a space badly needed by the growing
business.

The Market.

Business showed some improvement
last week. Orders for decorations are
increasing steadily. The cut stock was
well cleaned up last week, but towards
the end of the week yellow mums were
scarce, while other colors were plenti-
ful. The cooler weather has increased
the demand for carnations, roses and
other flowers. The price of stock has
advanced in all lines. Carnations are
steadily increasing in quantity. Lilies
and valley are plentiful.

Arthur Newell has entirely recov-

‘ered from his accident and is back on

ALONG with the great success of the
William Turner mum this season comes
word of at least three lemon-yellow
sports of that variety.

THE trade is buying for Christmas.

much larger quantities of stock than were
being ordered at this date last year. There
seems to be a unanimous belief that busi-
ness will be good.

THE apothecary has turned himself into
a merchant by adding an infinite variety
of wares to the stock in front of the
prescription counter. Why shouldn’t the
florist do more or less the same thing?

THOSE who mail plants or bulbs will
have to look out for the new postal regu-

lation regarding terminal inspection of:

plants or nursery stock sent to California,
Florida, Montana and Arizona. The new
rules are strict and someone is likely to
get caught.

THE manner in which a certain news-
paper states its circulation claims reminds
one of our friends of Hek’s Jerry &.,
which made a mile in 2:39, the best
time for a 9-year-old on a circular track
before 11 a. m., driven by a trainer with
red whiskers and wearing a fancy vest
with no buttons.

THE posterettes advertising the Na-
tional Flower Show are ready for distri-
bution. Anyone who will use them on his
correspondence will be supplied on re-
quest addressed to W. F. Therkildson,
chairman of the publicity committee, 475
North Fifth street, Philadelphia, or to
the general office of the show committee,

where Miss M. C. Hudome is in charge.

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:

Matthewson, J. E., Sheboygan, Wis.
Bauske, H. A., Ravenswood, Chicago.

TWO YEARS.

Holze, John, Seattle, Wash.

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 are sent.

BASKET OF POMPONS.

The Review would like to receive a
good, clear photograph of a basket of
pompon or single mums, not too elab-
orate; something that the average florist
can sell.

THE BIG DIVIDEND COLUMNS.

The classified ad pages at the back of
The Review are known as the big divi-
dend columns. They contain hundreds
of crackerjack salesmen for as many
concerns. At one stroke every adver-
tiser in the big dividend columns talks
to an army of good buyers. This de-
partment is the most thumbed section
of The Review—it is a buying bureau
for the greater part of the trade.

The grower who uses the classified
department is introduced to the trade
by a friend of the family. A trade
paper held in high esteem by its readers
naturally is the best business-getting
medium for the man who wants to sell
its readers.

Recently several growers who appre-
ciated these facts began experimenting
with classified ads in The Review—at
little cost to them. How solidly they
broke into the big dividend columns
they tell below. Listen:

We’ have received orders for all our surplus
stock advertised in The Review’s classified de-
partment, and we are much pleased with the
pulling power of your publication.—Oakland Gar-
dens Nursery, Detroit, Mich., November 15, 1915.

Our peonies were all sold through the classified
ads. Kindly discontinue the peony ad and insert
the following instead.—Babcock & Sons, Charle-
voix, Mich., October 25, 1915.

Here is persuasion that holds water.
It cannot miss the most skeptical seller.
Performance surely is the happiest proof
in the world. Who will be the next to
break into the big dividend columns?

BOUQUET GREEN.

In mid-November there is not much
doing in bouquet green, the season
really being encompassed in the three
weeks following Thanksgiving, but just
before the season opens there always
are a lot of inquiries from people who
are feeling out the market—‘‘ getting
hep,’’ as the saying goes. These in-
vestigators have been much in evidence
during the last week.

In Wisconsin green no longer is
picked in large quantity on speculation.
It is necessary to’ go farther and
farther into the woods each year and
the picking costs more. There are, of
course, moderate quantities still brought
into the general stores and offered for

“lyecopodium in

exchange under the old system, but the
bulk of the stock now is picked with a
definite understanding as to its disposi-
tion. The result is a considerably more
steady market and a somewhat higher
cost at the railroad. An oversupply now
results from misjudgment of the proba-
ble demand rather than from the ap-
pearance of unexpected quantities of
green.

Last year there was more green
picked than was needed. It seems that
during recent years of bad weather and
high prices, florists in general and many
others got out of the habit of using
quantity, and this,
coupled with the general business de-
pression last fall, cut the demand below
the point anticipated. With this in
view, no great amount of green has
been picked on speculation this season;
the weather has been favorable, but no
other condition has tended to stimulate
the shippers to pick green much beyond
definite engagements. There seems to
be enough green to meet all ordinary
demands, but not enough so that there
should be much danger of the market
getting out of hand.

At Chicago November 23 green was
quoted at $5.25 to $6, according to the
quantity wanted.

THE GLADIOLUS CONVENTION.

H. Youell, secretary of the American
Gladiolus Society, is asking members
to vote on the place for the next an-
nual meeting and exhibition. He has
sent out the following letter:

It is most important that the place of holding
the next annual show of the American Gladiolus
Society be decided upon as soon as possible.

We have been invited by the Rochester florists
to hold our show there next year, but as their
exhibit is held the end of August, this seems
entirely too late.

Cleveland has been suggested, and possibly
good arrangements could be made there to secure
a fine show.

An invitation has also been received from the
Massachusetts Horticultural Society to hold our
show in Boston next year, with the promise of
$400 in prizes being offered. Probably in no city
in the United States is there more interest in
flowers than in Boston.

Will you kindly mark the city of your choice
and return to me by November 30? Only those
whose dues are paid to 1916 are entitled to vote.

CHICAGO.

The Market.

As supply decreased, business im-
proved last week, business being ex-
tremely satisfactory in most of the
wholesale houses, although there was
complaint that carnations did not bring
what they should, probably because of
the competition of the pompon mums.
This week, with Thanksgiving ap-
proaching, the market opened strong.
The lower temperature has operated to
improve the quality of receipts, with
the exception of roses, many of which
are somewhat off color as a result of .
the preponderance of cloudy days. Sup-
ply in most lines is no more than suf-
ficient to meet the demand, while in
some there is a decided shortage. With
the Thanksgiving demand superimposed
upon such conditions, the market is
clearing in a manner that leaves no
room for complaint. A feature of the
holiday demand is the large number of
unusually good orders from distant
points.

Beauties are scarce. Those who have
a few say their excellent quality is a
contributing cause of their popularity,
but it is pope the general shortage
of Russell and red roses has much to
do with it. White roses are practically

the only ones available in quantity.
Popular enough in the hot weather, the
white rose can hardly hope to compete
with its warmer colored sisters when
the days grow crisp; its only place is
in funeral work.

Carnations continue to arrive in
abundance, and so large is the variety
in color, size and length of stem that
they may be utilized for almost any
purpose. Demand, though good, is not
strong enough to handle the large vol-
ume of receipts. Valley is still short
enough to be an object of interest.
Sweet peas are more plentiful and
finer than ever before at Thanksgiving.
Easter lilies are inclined to hang,
though not in large supply. Rubrums
are practically out of the market for
the present. Violets, single and dou-
ble, are moving in a more satisfactory
manner than in several weeks. Daisies
and mignonette are available. Snap-
dragons are again with us. Cattleyas
are most unqualifiedly scarce and have
brought excellent prices.

Chrysanthemums have passed their
zenith. Supply is rapidly declining and
receipts move with a corresponding de-
gree of ease. All varieties, however,
do not move with the same facility.
The yellows always lead in this mar-
ket, with the whites and pinks trailing
behind in the order named. Pompons,
while less plentiful than a week ago,
still are so abundant the buyers hesi-
tate to pay advanced prices.

Greens are again coming into their
own with the approach of Christmas.
Orders for boxwood are gathering
strength, and winter berries and pine
branches make their holiday appeal.
Plumosus sprays remain well on the
short side of the market. Anything
green, however, is in order and the de-
mand grows with the passing of each
day.

The Amling Addition.

With reference to the plans of the
A. F. Amling Co., Maywood, to double
its range of glass, as reported in The
Review for October 28, it is announced

that a contract has been made with the
American Greenhouse Mfg. Co., for a
range of nine steel frame connected
houses, ridge and furrow style, each
house 44x550, nine feet to the gutters,
twenty feet to the ridge. The con-
tract, which approximates $100,000,
calls for labor and material to com-
plete the houses, with a vacuum steam
heating system. The total cost of the
plant, including a new brick and steel
service building, boilers and _ other
equipment, will be about $135,000. The
range covers 220,000 square feet of
ground and represents 275,000 square
feet of glass. This is the first contract
signed by the American Greenhouse
Mfg. Co. and is one of the largest ever
made for commercial greenhouses all
for immediate erection. P. L. McKee,
president, was the designer of the
plant. The erection will be in charge
of B. F. Dupre. The manufacturing
end will be looked after by J. E. Jones.

The parties to the deal on the
Amling side were Albert F. Amling,

The Then Seedling.

Crossing carnations has been the hob-

His experiments have been rewarded
with varying degrees of success. Mr.
Then, however, would not be satisfied
with anything of mediocre grade or
even common excellence, so he kept
quietly at work crossing carnations and
watching results until a brilliant red
seedling was evolved that as No. 701
took the first prize for any red seedling
and also the sweepstakes for the best
of the seedlings at the Chicago flower
show.

This is the third year the seedling
has been grown and there are now

avenue. These, according to John Then,
were benched July 20 and are now
blooming freely and throwing shoots
profusely. The flower is an intense
brilliant red of excellent size. The plant
produces an amazing number of
growths. One of its chiefest features,
recommending it as a commercial

should make it a first-class shipper.

strip off the lower leaves, so the loss
of a little foliage on the bench does
not count against it.

With the flower show and the balmy
days behind us, Allie Zech, of Zech &
Mann, feels confident the trade will en-
Joy a more or less uninterrupted run
of good business until the winter is
passed.

Nagoya chrysanthemums are giving
an excellent account of themselves in
the greenhouses of Hoerber Bros., Des
Plaines, Ill., according to Fred Hoerber,
who inspected the houses the other day.
Mr. Hoerber is a booster. He says that
in view of conditions prevailing in
other lines of business, he cannot see
where the florists have any room for
complaint.

on things that have come under his own
observation is A. L. Vaughan. He be-
lieves this rose is without a peer as a
keeper and shipper, as he sent a large
shipment to the Pacific northwest re-
cently and, although the box was de-
layed in transit, the roses reached their
destination in prime condition.

That cattleyas soon will be equal to
market requirements is predicted by
Charles Erne, who says a crop of gigas
will come in within a week to take the
place made vacent by the passing of
labiata.

Archie McNulty, brother of Miss
Marguerite K. McNulty, who presides
over Peter Reinberg’s books and cash

the forces of D. Hill Nursery Co. Mr.
MeNulty has had a thorough training
in forestry.

For twenty-seven years C. A. Sam-
uelson has sold flowers within half a

two absolutely clear farms in the Snake
river district of southern Idaho, one of
which is owned individually, the other
a partnership investment. Negotia-

already ninety acres of apple orchard
of bearing age and Mr. Samuelson is
looking forward to the day when he
can exchange the cares of city busi-

The Market.

There is an improvement, a decided,
unmistakable improvement, in the cut
flower market. We have almost reached
the beginning of the so-called social
season and things are commencing in
earnest. The supply has eased off a
little, adding zest to the demand. The
late varieties of chrysanthemums have
succeeded the midseason sorts. This
means that the quality of the flowers
offered is of the best. Bonnaffon is
king; then there are the Chadwicks
and the Eatons, both yellow and white,
with Maud Dean and Dr. Enguehard
in pink. Of course there are other
sorts, lots of them, but these standard
varieties lead in quality and in favor.
Less and less is heard of fancy prices.
There are, and probably always will be,
a few chrysanthemums of superlatively
fine finish that bring a little more, but
the tendency of the day is toward sell-
ing in the original shipping boxes. Han-
dling is expensive in such bulky goods,
and is to be avoided, so say the whole-
salers. Of course this does not apply
to shipping orders, where stock must
be selected carefully and as carefully
repacked. It does apply to the local
buyers, who take their stock with them
or want a quantity ‘‘p. d. q.’’ Pom-
pons have been rather in excess of the
demand. They are gaining in popular-

The shop occupies the ground floor. It

is Venetian. A conservatory occupies
the space in the rear of the shop. A
handsome display of cut roses in the

Carnations, violets and roses have all
shortened in supply and advanced in

higher. Cattleyas, gardenias and sweet

promises are made for all four. Pan-

were lots of people he would like to
see and who would like to see him.
This and a whole lot more, properly
handled, would make interesting read-
ing.
William C. Herbert, the well known
dahlia grower of Atco, N. J., tells a
rather curious story indicative of mod-
ern ideas in selling flowers. It seems
there was a certain red and white
dahlia, whose type and name shall be
left for the reader to determine. The
first name was not considered worthy,
so an enterprising salesman in one of
our well known flower centers rechris-
tened the variety George M. Cohan.
Everybody who knows the famous actor
bought a flower or a bunch to wear in
his honor, so that this dahlia brought
an ‘excellent average price, quite as
good as any, and decidedly better than
most of the other varieties. ‘‘What’s
in a name?’’ The question certainly
‘does not receive a negative answer in
this case.

The other day Phil was accosted by
a man in a dark corner of one of Phil-

adelphia’s leading stores. The man
gave some information for publication
with his name and hurriedly departed.
Phil approached the cashier’s glass-
enclosed desk. The cashier, a lovely
blonde, was examining the contents of

the cash drawer thoughtfully. ‘‘Can
you help me?’’ Phil began. The deli-
eate color left the cashier’s face. The

drawer was hastily shut—‘‘by telling
me,’’ Phil continued, ‘‘who that man
was just talking to me in the corner?’’
The soft color returned to the cashier’s
face. ‘‘I do not know,’’ she said.
Not long ago, Maurice L. Cooke, di-
rector of public works, stationed a man
in the City hall to count the people
passing through the entrance in one
day. Of course, there were assistants
and a thorough system to make sure.
The result of over 90,000 persons was
published in the daily papers at the
time. It so chanced that the depart-
ment of public’ works required a scale
for weighing heavy material shortly
afterwards. Director Cooke advertised
for bids. It happened that the man-
ager of Fairbanks’ seales had read the
90,000-people-in-a-day story, so he. put

in a bid offering to place his scales
worth $1,500 in position for the sum
of $1. In other words, he wanted to
have those 90,000 people see Fairbanks’
scales and was willing to pay $1,499 for
the privilege. Now you want to know
what possible bearing this story has on
flowers beyond the fact that some flo-
rists will see those scales? What
right has the story in this column?
Well, you see, it so chanced that Edwin
J. Fancourt thought it would be nice
to have a dictaphone in the National
Flower Show committee office, room
1205 of the Widener building. So he
talked to the dictaphone people, who
have had so much to say about letting
your stenographer earn his or her sal-
ary, and persuaded them that if they
wanted to stop people from doing busi-
mess the way it was done in 1898, it
‘would be a mighty good thing to put a
$275 machine into the committee’s of-
fice for five months, for the price of
three admission tickets to the National
Flower Show, to be held in Convention

hall, Broad street and Allegheny ave-—

nue, from March 25 to April 2, 1916.
Ladies’ Night.

The entertainment given by the Flo-
rists’ Club in honor of the ladies took
place in Horticultural hall Wednesday
evening, November 17. There were
about 125 persons present, members,
their wives and daughters. There was
a good program of operatic talent, re-
freshments and dancing. The affair
was well planned and carried out and
gave much pleasure. It was of the
sensible and early kind that does not
mar the day after.

Various Notes,

A high official objects to the statement
in this column that the National Flower
Show headquarters is in the Arcade
building. He says that the proper name
is the Widener building. Room 1205,
Widener building, Chestnut street above
Juniper street, is correct.

NEW YORK.

The Market.

Up to Friday, November 19, there
was absolute stagnation. A slight re-
covery then appeared, owing, perhaps,
to weddings and the debutantes and
to the football requirements, but Sat-
urday, which was expected to create
a wide demand, showed no signs of
real life and prices were barely steady
at the recent level of values. The pres-
ent week opened with well stocked ice-
boxes and a great abundance’ of roses
and chrysanthemums, left over, the
quality of the stock being exceptionally
' good.

There were few violets to be had
November 20. Growers must have
shipped direct to Boston, where Yale
was playing Harvard. Those _ that
reached the New York market sold at
75 cents to $1 per hundred. These
are the asking prices this week.

American Beauties were scarce and
strong, as high as 35 cents each being
asked for specials. Of the twenty-five
varieties of roses in the market, the
selects and novelties were steady.
Prima Donna, Key and Stanley are
especially favored, but Hoosier Beauty
and Ophelia also are popular. The
small and short-stemmed roses were, as
usual, the prey of the bargain hunters,
and could be had as low as $5 per thou-
sand. The quality of all the rose and

GET READY Festoon Winding
Machines Improved

Third year on the market. Two types. Makes all
kinds of Festooning. Type No. 1 will wrap on any
size wire used for its center. One turn with handle
gives two wraps on Festooning. Center wire is meas-
ured while Festooning is wound, which eliminates
measuring of Festooning. Type No.2: Fine wire is
used for the center, one turn with handle gives one
wrap on Festooning. Does equally as good work as
Type No.1. We furnish machines ready to work,with
enough wire to make 500 yards. Three days’ trial al-
lowed. Money refunded if machine is not what you
want. Prices:

Type No. 1, $10.00; Type No. 2, $5.00

SPRINGFIELD, MO.

The Market.

The cloudy, cold days arrived last
week, but remained only long enough
to check the mums. There has been a
great improvement in the mum market.
Thanksgiving trade looks good and the
demand will be heavy, but there will
be plenty of stock to meet it. Carna-
tions will be much shortened in crop
and prices have already increased.
Carnations which have been retailing
for some time at 25 cents per dozen
are now selling at 50 cents per dozen.

Various Notes.

The Summerfield Floral Co. will have
a large cut of mums. This company
expects to cut from 1,200 to 1,500
Golden Wedding mums, which certainly
are fine. The carnations also are good,
but they will not enjoy as brisk a sale
as those of the week previous.

The Springfield Seed Co. had a large
cut flower business last week. One day
the store force handled large orders for
six funerals. This company’s business
in this line has increased wonderfully
and the store is open day and night,
and the night man reports that there is
no time for sleep.

Rauch Bros. had a brisk business in
funeral work last week. Counter trade
was lively. They are receiving good

plants in readiness for the Thanksgiv-

order from St. Louis last week, calling

ROCHESTER, N. Y.

The Market.

The earlier part of the week, business
was somewhat quiet. November 17
started in with an immense lot of fu-
neral work and since then business has
picked up quite a little, though trade
November 20 was not so vigorous. The
quality of all the stock is exceptionally
good and there is plenty of all kinds.
The most popular flower, of course, is
the chrysanthemum, and there is no end
to the varieties. There is the usual
large assortment of singles in all shades,
and also pompons. Garza, in pink and
white, sells well. Roses have sold well
of late and some fine stock continues
to arrive. The Francis Scott Key is
most popular, and the Hearst and Rus-
sell also are disposed of«freely. Wards
are fine. Orchids and gardenias sell
well. Violets are of good quality and
are moving nicely. Valley is plentiful,
but receives no big demand. Carna-
tions are getting much larger and bet-
ter. They are quite plentiful. The
Alice and Philadelphia are being grown
a great deal.
mans are arriving daily, but in small
quantities. Red, pink,and white bou-
vardia are exquisite and enjoy a good
demand. A large quantity of primulas,
cyclamens, ardisias and cherries are be-
ing shown in pots. Palms and ferns
are selling well. The supply of greens
meets all demands.

Club Meeting.

The November meeting of the Lan-
caster County Florists’ Club was held
November 18. The topic for the eve-
ning was chrysanthemums. The discus-
sion was opened by B. F. Barr, Rudolph
Nagel and H. K. Rohrer, followed by
nearly all the members who grow mums,
of whom there are about twenty.
Charles Tuckers, an amateur grower,
gave a most interesting talk on many
of last year’s introductions, which he
has grown this year.

On exhibition were vases of Turner,
Harvard, Patty and Thanksgiving
Queen, by B. F. Barr. Fred Spinner,
of Lititz, showed a vase of handsome
Roman Gold. H. D. Rohrer showed
specimen blooms of Nakota, Dolly
Dimple and Turner.

President B. F. Barr appointed Frank
L. Kohr, David Rose and John R.
Shreiner to arrange for the club’s ban-
quet, to be held December 16. A short
business session will precede the ban-
quet, when nominations of officers for
1916 will be held. A trip to Lititz will
be made on the afternoon of the same
day, calling on C. 8. Loeffler and Fred
Spinner.

Club Trip to Manheim.

November 18 the club visited the
Manheim brethren. At the Monroe
Hostetter place the carnations were
found in fine condition. Sweet peas
gave promise of a good cut. Mr. Hos-
tetter has a large lot of Primula For-
besi, which he grows for cut blooms.

At the Phares 8S. Hostetter range
sweet peas and calla lilies are the prin-
cipal crops.

Emanuel P. Hostetter was the next
call. Houses of plumosus and Spren-
geri asparagus are in the best possible
shape. Mr. Hostetter’s Boston yellow
daisies, carried over from last year,
are producing choice blooms on long
stems. White and yellow snapdragon
occupy considerable space. A _ house
planted to orchid-flowering peas looks
most promising. Several houses of
grandiflora peas are giving nice blooms.
His carnation plants look well and large

The Market.
The first part of last week showed
great business improvement. The

weather, being cold, seemed to put life
into the buyers at the wholesale mar-
ket. Quality, too, improved greatly
Prices were
not -high and only the extra fancy
blooms in mums were held a little too
high. There were fine blooms of Eaton,
Golden Wedding and Chadwick. The
Bonnaffons were supreme in white and
yellow and had the greatest demand,
with prices running from $12.50 to $25
per hundred. Pompons have been a
glut and are not selling as well as last
season. A great supply is expected for
Thanksgiving day.

Roses and carnations still are suffer-
ing for want of demand and only low
prices in thousand lots move them.
The downtown retailers still display
cheap signs on these and the growers
will be glad when the mum :season is
at an end. Beauties have been scarce
in this market of late. Violets should
take a brace from now on, as the cold
weather should tone up the quality.

Mas and lilies had quite a fair de-
mand, but they hold up their price;

Florists’ Club Meeting.

The St. Louis Florists’ Club held its
monthly meeting Thursday afternoon,
November 18. The meeting was held
in the lecture room at the Missouri
Botanical Garden and the attendance
was one of the largest ever had by the
club, numbering eighty-five. When
President Bourdet called the meeting
to order, all officers were present.
After the routine business had been
disposed of, the various committees
were called upon to make reports.
Chairman Ohlweiler, of the show com-
mittee,” reported that they favored a
spring flower show, but, owing to the
fact that the American Carnation So-
ciety would hold its annual meeting
and exhibition the last of January,
they thought it advisable not to hold
a spring show next year, but that in
1917 a spring flower show would be
held on a large scale. This was ac-
cepted and the committee was con-
tinued. Chairman Ammann, of the
American Carnation Society, made a re-
port of the meeting of the executive
committee of the society, held at Cleve-
land, and named all the chairmen of
the various committees. These mem-
bers were all present and assured the
chairman that they were ready for any
kind of work to make the meeting a
success. The following florists were
elected to membership: Alfred Werner,
of Werner Bros., rose growers of Clay-
ton, Mo.; E. D. Emme, of the Missouri
Botanical Garden, and Arthur Wald-
mann, a retailer. The chair appointed
Messrs. Ammann, Guy and Fillmore a
committee to draw up resolutions on
the death of our late fellow-members,
William C. Young and Edward G.
Eggeling, and report at the next meet-
ing. On motion the club subscribed
$100 to the fund to bring the
national political ‘¢onventions to our

city. According to ‘the treasurer’s re- °

port, the club is well off financially.
The chair then called on Messrs.
Jaenicke and Ammann for a report on
the Chicago and Cleveland flower
shows. These reports were quite
lengthy and, according to them, both
shows must have been grand affairs. A
vote of thanks was extended the gar-
den staff for the use of the meeting
hall. The next meeting will be held
in our old quarters, December 9.

The Shaw Banquet.

The twenty-sixth annual banquet
given by the Missouri Botanical Gar-
den took place at the Liedercranz club,
November 19, at 7 p. m. This banquet
is given yearly in accordance with the
will of the late Henry Shaw, to flo-
rists, gardeners and nurserymen. The
attendance numbered about 200. Among
these were twenty-five members of the
St. Louis Florists’ Club. Dr. Moore,
as usual, was toastmaster. After cigars
he introduced J. K. M. L. Farquhar,
of Boston, who lectured on bulb cul-
ture in Holland. The lecture was ac-
companied by lantern slides and was
most pleasing to all. The twenty-sixth
banquet was a decided success.

Various Notes.

The Retail Florists’ Association held
its postponed meeting Monday evening,
November 22, at the Missouri Inn Gar-
den, Grand and Magnolia avenues.
One of the interesting features of the
meeting was the talk of the coming
méeting of the American Carnation So-
ciety, in which this society will take
a leading part, as President Young, of
the association, was made chairman of
the decorative committee and he is to

select his own committee from the
membership of his association.

Robert Aull, former park commis-
sioher, who was well known to all in
the trade and to park commissioners
and superintendents throughout the
country, died at St. Luke’s hospital
November 20, at 12:30 a. m., from par-
alysis. Mr. Aull was 62 years of age
and leaves a wife, daughter and son
to mourn his loss.

M. F. Widmer, of Highland, Il., says

he has had splendid success with his
mums this season. He cut some grand
blooms of the leading varieties, which
were all in before the glut came on.

Vincent J. Gorly, head of Grimm &
Gorly, was appointed chairman of the
florists’ committee to secure subscrip-
tions among the trade to bring the two
national political conventions to this
city. The appointment was made by
the Business Men’s League and, if
hustling will bring -the conventions,
Mr. Gorly will do his part.

At ‘the French war-relief bazaar,
which will take place December 13 and
14 at Dreamland, Mrs. Jules Bourdet
has been given charge of all the floral
arrangements. The bazaar is given by
the women’s auxiliary of the Societe
Francaise.

Leo Eberenz, a landscape gardener,
while planting trees at 5352 Cabanne
avenue, was attacked by an employee
with a spade, and is now in the city
hospital in a serious condition. This
took place November 16.

Among the grand mum blooms that
were seen this season at the wholesale
houses, none were finer than those
grown by Pierre Schneider, of the Oak-
Jand Floral Co., at Kirkwood, Mo.
C. A. Kuehn handled the cut.

The Market,

The near approach of Thanksgiving is
giving the market a firmer tone and the
outlook for that well-known New Eng-
land holiday is quite promising. There
is still an unwieldly supply of chrysan-
themums. They are flowering later than
usual and a heavy Thanksgiving cut is
assured. This, it is feared, will tend to
unbalance the ’market. The mum leader
now is Bonnaffon. No other chrysan-
themum in any way approaches this
quarter-century-old mum in favor. Other
favorites are White Bonnaffon, Patty,

Enguehard, White Eaton, Yellow Eaton,

tinue in abundant supply. Roses are sell-
ing better and prices show a decided
improvement. Especially good now, and
to be classed among the good sellers, are
Ophelia, Russell, Stanley, Mock, Hadley,
Key, Sunburst, Taft and Ward. Beauties
have improv ed in price. Colder weather
is needed to tone up prices still more.

Carnations have much improved in
price. November 20 reds and crimsons
made $3 and $4 per hundred. The bulk
of other colors made half these prices.
Violets are more abundant and a con-
siderable surplus was left November 20.
A good many Rhinebeck doubles ap-
peared November 19, but did not sell
well in competition with local singles.
Pink snapdragon has been selling better,
as have yellow marguerites. Some stevia
and Paper White narcissi are available.
Of calendulas there is a good supply.
Cornflowers are not abundant and sell
well. Lilies continue in good supply and
valley is in excess of the market’s needs,
Cattleyas are scarce and have made a
sharp advance in price. Only a limited
number of Cypripedium insigne is com-
ing in as yet. Gardenias are scarce.
Bouvardia Humboldtii sells much better
than the small-flowered varieties. Trade
in asparagus and ferns is improving. |

Various Notes,

For the Harvard-Yale football game
in Boston, November 20, there was a
heavy call for red chrysanthemums and
violets. White chrysanthemums, with
the letters Y and H in blue or crimson,
were also much in evidence. As it turned

60 years’ experience in the florist business guarantees
efficiency to take care of all orders. 20 per cent allowed

out, there was a considerable surplus
left over of both violets and mums. Red
roses and carnations also got a good up-
lift in values.

Herman Waldecker, of Braintree, re-
ceived word last week of the death of
his brother, Carl, on the Russian fron-
tier, where he was fighting with the Ger-
man army. The deceased was on a visit
to Europe when war broke out. He en-
deavored to return to America, but was
detained and drafted into the army. He
was for a number of years associated
with his brother at Braintree, and was
well liked. His premature passing has
brought forth many expressions of sin-
cere regret.

Albert Roper, of Tewksbury, had some
superb Intensity chrysanthemums No-
vember 20, which realized fancy prices.
His new carnations, Alice Coombs, Grace
and others, are just coming into their
true form. Some of the latest are won-
derfully fine.

Norris F, Comley, of Lexington, had

15,000 single violets November 20. Of
White Bonnaffon and Bonnaffon he has
70,000, a great proportion of which were
in for Thanksgiving.
. The Budlong Rose Co. has a sport
from Sunburst rose of a rich coppery
color,, which takes well. Stanley is
superb, quite the finest pink sort on the
place. Francis Scott Key is doing well.
Ophelia remains a great seller, as do
Hadley and Russell. In mums Patty,
White Eaton, Yellow Eaton and Bon-
naffon are the leaders now.

The Halifax Garden Co. is cutting
heavily this week on Enguehard, Chief-
tain, Bonnaffon and Savannah mums. In

At Penn’ s a beautiful window was ar-

The National Association of Gardeners

The sanctioning of street venders of
flowers, which has been discussed and
favored in Philadelphia, is again at-
tracting attention here. There is no
question but that a number of boys on
the streets could dispose of a lot of flow-
ers which would otherwise be wasted,
and the purchasers would be, in the
main, those who rarely patronize a retail
store. The question is one worthy of
renewed discussion.

J. Newman & Sons, the old and re-
liable Tremont street florists, did a
good business for the Harvard- Yale
game, and anticipate good Thanksgiv-
ing trade. Funeral orders continue to
come in satisfactorily.

B. P. Winch, of Framingham, grows
carnations chiefly, but has this season
had a good many mums. His leading

Seed Trade News

AMERICAN SEED TRADE mre tale

President, John M. Lupton, Mattituck
Secretary- Treasurer, oO. B . Kendel, Covelaad 3

W. ATLEE BurPEE is critically ill at his
home near Doylestown, Pa.

THE Iowa production of timothy and
clover will be unusually light this year.

CONSIDERABLE quantities of seeds gre
reaching New York on each steamer from
Copenhagen.

GEORGE DEyo, with the Crossman Bros.
Co., Rochester, "and Miss Grace Slocum,
also of Rochester, were married recently
at Salt Lake City.

FARMERS will have less seed stock
than usual to trade with among each
other this year. There will be more
buying than usual.

THE first shipment this season of val-
ley pips from Copenhagen arrived at New
York November 16. It consisted of 360
cases, consigned to Loechner & Co.

THE annual rains in the California seed
growing districts have begun, rather later
than usual, but in time to relieve any
anxiety on ‘the part of the growers.

No one seems to be able to decide yet
just what the price of sweet clover should
be. It is certain to be lower than last
year, but the question is, how much lower?

Louis B. Reuter, of New Orleans, re- ;

cently took unto himself a bride in the
person of the daughter of a leading local
florist and has been honeymooning in New
York.

A. H. SmitH, treasurer of the Leonard
Seed Co., Chicago, now spends his days
listening to tales of murder, robbery and
arson. He is serving on the. regular jury
panel of the criminal court.

THE government of Bermuda last sum-
mer sent a representative to Long Island
and Maine potato growers who were
growing stock under contract for export
to Bermuda for seed. His report has
been published in the Royal Gazette.

Field inspection of stock for import now
is required by the Bermudian regulations.

THE man who is writing the retail cata-
logue has decided not to worry; he will
shove up the price of beans to the point
where nobody will order more than a
handful, and give onion a boost, but
other items he will leave with little change
in spite of the reports of scarcity, taking
care, however, to reduce prices on the few
items that are abundant.

W. W. BaRNarD, of the W. W. Barnard
Co., Chicago, who was reported in last
week’s issue of The Review as seriously
ill in the Presbyterian hospital, is im-
proving slowly, though still confined to
the hospital. A. H. Goodwin, who has
been in the Wesley hospital for some
time, is convalescing as rapidly as can be
expected and has been removed to his
home.

THE American Mutual Seed Co. is a
new organization, incorporated for $60,-
000 under the laws of Illinois, with head-
quarters-at Forty-third and Robey streets,
Chicago. John F. Summers is: secretary
and manager. Mr. Summers was engaged
in the seed business at Malvern, Ia., sev-
eral years ago, is a graduate of the Iowa
Agricultural College, and for the last few
years has been conducting the large farm

BULB RECEIPTS ON DECLINE.

Another drop in the receipts of Dutch
bulbs occurred last week. The total of
each arrival falls a little behind that
of the week previous, showing that the
end of the shipments is not far off for
this season. The receipts last week
came on the Rotterdam steamer Noor-
‘dam, arriving at New York November
15. The consignments on board. the
Noordam, as listed in the New York
manifest of the vessel, were as follows:

HOLLAND VIEW OF BULB TRADE.

Certain Holland firms have aroused
the wrath of the trade in England by
advertising in an undignified and, it is
alleged, untruthful way in the British
newspapers, with the result that the
trade raised a fund to advertise a
refutation of the statements to which
exception was taken. A Holland firm
of bulb exporters, J. J. Grullemans &
Sons, of Lisse, has contributed $50 to
the fund and in so doing sent a letter
from which the following was taken:

‘‘The miserable, begging advertise-

ments appearing lately in some of the
English papers have created a disgust
among the bulb exporters of repute here
generally, and we now enclose a cheque

‘The railway admits a lack of uni-

state that the rates on flax, cane and

commodity rates were published from

VITALITY

There is a certain quality
possessed by some men which
we call vitality. It is being
greatly alive—living each minute
in full and keen consciousness—
using the senses constantly and
to full capacity. Men of vitality,
living as they do more fully than
others, exercise their acute facul-
ties in choosing the accessories
of their daily lives and the means
for their pleasure and comfort.
It is among such men that
Horseshoe Brand Giganteum is
used mostly. This is because of
their superior quality and free-
flowering capacity, due to the
careful cultivation given them.
You cannot get lily bulbs better
than Horseshoe Brand Gigante-
um and you might get worse
ones. The best insurance ‘a

The Market.

Business conditions last week were
vastly different from those of the week
previous. The weather was cloudy and
cold; in fact, Saturday we had the first
real glimpse of the sun, which had been
hidden all the week. Of course all kinds
of stock shortened tremendously and
prices in consequence began to soar.
The week before it had been necessary
to dump surplus stock, but as soon as
the shortage manifested itself last week
the demand seemed to be stimulated
and in a few days orders were turned
down that would have more than made
up for the stock thrown away last week
were the stock obtainable now. Thanks-
giving promises to be a good holiday
this year. Heretofore Thanksgiving has
not amounted to a great deal, but from
present indications and taking the ad-
vance orders and inquiries into consid-
eration, this year will show a marked
‘improvement, provided, of course, there
is sufficient stock to take care of the
orders.

Roses are scarce. The cut has dimin-
ished greatly and great difficulty is ex-
perienced in filling orders satisfactorily.
The stock is in fine shape and prices
‘have come back to about normal. Car-
nations have shortened quite a bit and
prices have gone up to some extent.
The market is cleaning up well and no
effort is necessary to dispose of the
daily cut. Chrysanthemums still are a
big factor in the market. They are
probably sgmewhat past their zenith,
but, some extra fine stock is to be had
every day. Prices on good stock are
satisfactory. The mums are taking the
place of roses and carnations to some
extent. While mums will, in all proba-
bility, be in for Thanksgiving, in
neither supply nor quality will they

not diminished, but the demand has in-

are cleaning up every day, there will
be a limited quantity for Thanksgiving,
part of the supply being already
ordered up. Valley is extremely scarce
just now and few orders are being

supply will be somewhat greater this

SEATTLE ARMORY DECORATION.

Steel girders and whitewash quickly
lose their forbidding appearance when
a florist uses them to hang decorations
on. At least this was true when
Rosaia Bros. decorated Armory hall, in
Seattle, for the convention of the
American Bankers’ Association. The
accompanying illustration shows how
really useful an unsightly steel girder
may be to a florist. Evergreens, ferns
and foliage were generously used and
the tempting effect is evident in the
illustration. There is often an advan-
tage in the use of a few flowers rather
than many and Rosaia Bros. profited
from this fact in the armory decora-
tion. Many of the pleasing details es-
cape the eye unless the photograph is
studied closely. For instance, the ab-
sence of chairs about the sides of a
ballroom floor is something out of the
ordinary. A second look at the illus-
tration shows that arbors and benches
were built back of the front decora-
tions. Through the arches of the lat-
ticework in the background will be
seen banquet tables. The effect of this
resembles the Italian gardens of some
of the fashionable outdoor dining
places of famovs American resorts.

LOS ANGELES.

The Market.

A sudden drop in temperature, reach-
ing below freezing point in some of the
less favored localities, checked the sup-
ply of outdoor roses considerably last
week. The frost does not appear to
have damaged the plants sufficiently to
prevent their going on and flowering,
especially should the present warm
weather continue. In some places tender
plants like coleus and lantanas were
damaged a little, but in others the
plants are as fresh looking as in mid-
summer. Carnations have been checked,
but there is quite a large number
grown under glass and cloth, which help
keep the supply full. Already some
Christmas plants, or rather plants that
are usually grown for Christmas, such
as Begonia Gloire de Lorraine and cyc-
lamens, are making their appearance.
Growers of azaleas are beginning to be
worried about their plants, eastern ship-
pers apparently being of the notion that
any old time is good enough for the

becomes all the more apparent that
some coalition of nurserymen and whole-

as we used to see so many yéars ago
that we hate to think of it.

Every once in a while—to use an
overworked and rather vague expression
—Tom Wright disappears from the pur-
lieus—another one—of West Fourth
street, and if any one asks where he is,
Manager W. Wern says he is gone up
Bakersfield way to his-hog ranch. But
his last visit being longer than usual
led to inquiries, and these in turn led to
the information that Mr. Wright and
Mrs. Wright had enjoyed a pleasant
auto trip'on the valley route to San
Francisco and home by the coast, re-
porting an excellent time everywhere.
Meantime business has been good at
the store, several wedding decorations
and a good deal of funeral work being
reported.

Arthur Gleave, formerly manager for

the late J. Whipple, of Santa Barbara,-.

has been visiting in the city, having
just returned from San Francisco.

H. W. Turner says that his roses are
cleaning up daily and on some occasions
he has to cut down his orders. Large
orders for plants are already coming
in for future delivery, and I noticed
that more benches are being devoted’ to
propagating. One-of the points that are
agitating Mr. Turner is the proper way
to spell the name of the rose Elger.
Elgar is the way many people spell it,
but Mr. Turner stands for Elger.
Whichever is right, it surely is a beauti-
ful rose as grown here and much in de-
mand among the better class of re-
tailers.

M. LL. Germain, president of the Ger-
main Seed & Plant Co., wrenched his
back recently and had to retire for a
day or two. Extra large consignments
of Holland and Belgian nursery stock
and azaleas are arriving here in good
shape, rather later than usual.

J. Menasco, of Covina, says that not-
withstanding the cold snap he hopes
to have outdoor roses along about
Christmas. H. R. Richards.

SANTA BARBARA, CAL.

_ Business conditions have been improv-
ing and there is a decidedly better
transitory trade. Inquiries for Christmas
orders are already coming in.

A. Gleave, for more than five years
manager of the J. Whipple retail store,
has secured a good location on State
Street and will start in business at once.
Mr. Gleave is well known in the city and
Surrounding country. He recently re-
turned from a trip to Los Angeles and
San Francisco, where he visited the fair
and secured ideas for his new store.

the Chinese are better and move in
large quantities. Prices are, of course,
higher. Turner is all gone, Nonin is
fine, but not a good shipper. Street
venders have made Bonnaffon rather
common, and Hunter, Enguehard and
other pink varieties are more popular
at the shops. Pompons continue both
plentiful and popular. Frost reduced
the cut of violets for a few days, but
they are coming in freely again and
are in prime shipping condition, being
one of the leading features in the out-
of-town business.

Carnations are better and move fair-
ly well. Plenty of marigolds, gypso-
philas, cosmos, etc., still appear. There
is a good large cut of most roses, and
sales for. them are increasing, with a
fair northern demand. Red varieties
are a little scarce, Hadley leading in
popularity. There are not. enough
baby roses to meet both local and ship-
ping demands. Radiance moves well
locally. Gardenias are coming in more
freely and are of better quality.
Phalenopsis is scarce, but other or-
chids are in good supply, including
many dendrobiums, odontoglossums and
lelias, as well as several kinds of cat-
tleyas. The plant supply has been aug-
mented by the appearance of a large
amount of Scotch heather and a few
nice primulas. Small chrysanthemums
still are popular and more cyclamens are
coming into bloom. A good many fern
and plant specialties have been pre-
pared for Thanksgiving. No great
quantity of madrona berries has ap-
peared, but a little of the so-called
California holly is already coming in.

Various Notes.

The E. W. McLellan Co. is beginning
to cut gardenias from its young plants
and is getting some fine, large blooms,
with prospects of an excellent cut for
the holiday trade.

N. Peterson, of the Peninsula Nurs-
ery, San Mateo, has installed a new
heating system. He is bringing in
about the finest carnations that can
be found around the bay, some of his
best varieties being Champion, Princess
Dagmar, Alice and Benora.

For the last week or so the exposi-
tion has brought into play a large num-
ber of smudge pots, or crude oil heat-
ers, to save the large outdoor plantings
of begonias, dahlias, etc., from the
frost. So far the heaters have done
their work well, though a few of the
dahlias have been nipped a little.

A new store has been opened at 404
Market street by the Bay Counties Seed
Co., a new concern. The company is
headed by Mr. Field, of 203 California
street, and Milton Tonini, formerly as-
sociated with C. C. Morse & Co., is
manager. A general stock of bulbs,
seeds and plants is handled and Mr.
Tonini is considering entering the
wholesale cut flower business with cer-
tain classes of stock. This makes at
least five seed and garden supply
stores catering to the commuters’ trade
on lower Market street.

The Lynch Nursery Co., of Menlo
Park, is bringing in good cyclamen
plants and has quite a number of them
coming on for the holidays. This com-
pany has ready for shipment about
30,000 strings of smilax, said to be the
largest batch of smilax on the coast.
It is grown in the open air under oak
trees, which give it protection from kill-
ing frosts.

N. Peterson, of the Haight Street
Floral Co., says that business is pick-

Haprovement from now until Christmas.
* Thomas Wright, of Los Angeles, was
@ recent visitor to this city.

There is an impression among the
local florists that the supply of spring
bulbous flowers is going to be much
smaller than last year, at least in im-

orted lines, and possibly in some Cali-
ornia-grown varieties, as it is under-
stood that California bulbs have been
closely cleaned up. In imported stock,
the supply of bulbs has been light, arid,
while early orders are said to have
been well taken care of, late buyers
find it hard to get anything.

The Menlo Park Horticultural So-
ciety held its annual banquet Novem-
ber 20, when cups for the best exhib-
its made by members during the year
were presented. The committee, con-
sisting of Percy Copp, John Daly and
Percy Ellings, made sure that there
was something to put in the cups.
John Daly acted as toastmaster.

Under the name of the Floral Shop,
Mrs. Frank Smith started business No-
vember 9 at 926 Tenth street, Modesto,
Cal. Mrs. Smith has had consider-
able experience in the business and is
kegping a nice store. She ordered a
good stock of bulbs, plants, etc., as
well as cut flowers, from San Francisco
»edealers.

Business last week was affected some-

checked the counter trade. The dark
days held back the flowers so that the

The Florists’ Review

NovEMBnR 25, 1915,

Almost all the outdoor blooms have been
rendered useless by the storms, though
there has been no frost in Portland.

Club Meeting.

The Portland Floral Society November
16 held one of the best attended meet-
ings of the season. The growers’ com-
mittee held a meeting earlier in the
evening and further organized by nam-
ing F. H. Van Kirk secretary. It was
decided to direct the efforts of the com-
mittee toward the matter of credits, and
a committee was named to draft a let-
ter to be sent to all the retailers in the
Pacific northwest whose names could be
obtained. This letter was brought be-
fore the society and was fully approved
and authorized. It was signed by thirty-
four concerns and individuals who
wholesale stock. Its principal feature
was the following resolution:

Whereas: For several years past the system of
eredits in use by the growers and shippers in this
vicinity has given poor collection results, and

ereas: The principal growers in this vicin-
ity are members of the Portland Floral: Society,
we deem it proper and advisable that a date be
set in each month for the settlement of accounts;
and it is therefore

Resolved: That a settlement of each month’s
accounts be requested not later than the fifteenth
day of the month following such date, affording
ample time for the retailer to make his collec-
tions, and, further, it was unanimously resolved
that a report of delinquents in this matter be
rendered to the growers’ committee of the society
at each monthly meeting.

Representatives of several foreign
bulb dealers were present and in the dis-
cussion over codperative buying it was
suggested that their governments assist
in an advertising campaign to induce
the public to purchase bulbs at the
proper time, as some of the seedsmen
stated that about half of their yearly
sales of bulbs were made after they
were in bloom in the market, a date too
late for any good results from outdoor
penne, and that the sale of bulbs was

eing seriously hurt by such failures.
Ladies’ night was set for December 13
and the committee reported all arrange-
ments completed for a fine program.
Members of the society, their families
and employees, with now and then a
friend, will be welcome.

Various Notes.

John Willius, lessee of the Pfunder
range on East Forty-ninth street, has
finished the demolition of the house
which had to be removed on account of
the improvement of East Forty-ninth
street,

The Tonseth Floral Co. featured the
F. T. D. in its window display. A minia-
ture railroad with telegraph lines along
a hillside and with suggestive messages
on telegraph blanks attached to the
window glass, which were connected with
the wires by baby ribbons, formed a
neat display.

The civic bureau of the Chamber of
Commerce has awarded prizes in the city
beautification contest totaling nearly
$3,000.

Only a few members of the floral so-
ciety were able to accept the invitation
of Prof, A. L. Peck to visit Corvallis
November 17 during the meeting of the
state horticultural board. The writer
was in Seattle and several others who
had intended to go were prevented by
various causes.

The flower store at 430 Washington
street, which was opened about a year
ago by Clark & Breeze and since the re-
tirement of Mr. Breeze has been oper-
ated by Mr. Clark alone, has gone out
of business.

NURSERY NEWS.

AMERICAN ASSOCIATION OF NURSERYMEN,
President, E. 8. Welch, Shenandoah, Ia.; Vice-
president, John Watson, Newark, N. J.; Secre-
tary, John Hall, Rochester, N. Y.; Treasurer,
Peter Youngers, Geneva, Neb.
Forty-first annual meeting, Milwaukee, Wis.,
June 22 to 24, 1916.

THE nursery business of the late George
H. Chase, at Malden, Mass., has been
purchased by his brother, Homer Chase,
a@ nurseryman at Augusta, Me. The
business will be carried on at Augusta
and the Malden office will be discon-
tinued.

In order to supply the rapidly increas-
ing demand for boxwoods, firs, junipers,
ete., J. B. Watkins & Bro., of Midlothian,
Va., have erected a large greenhouse,
which will be devoted to propagating
evergreens. Hydrangeas also will be
grown in large quantities.

ARTICLES of incorporation recently were
filed by the Rhinelander Nursery Co., of
Rhinelander, Wis. The directors are:
D. F. Recker, C. P. Crosby, J. Weisman,
A. E. Weesner, D. R. Hanford; the offi-
cers: President, D. F. Recker; vice-pres-
ident, A. E. Weesner; treasurer, J. O.
Moen; secretary, D. R. Hanford. The
capitalization is $10,000.

NURSERYMEN who send seeds or plants
by mail should remember that, under the
new ruling, they can send a larger pack-
age than formerly. The outside limit for
combined length and girth is now seven
feet, instead of six feet, thus permitting
a package a foot longer than could be
sent last spring. Also, the shipper now
ean get a receipt from the postoftice for
a parcel post package the same as from
the express people by paying 1 cent extra.

WESTERN NURSERYMEN TO MEET.

The Biggest Winter Gathering.

Except for the annual convention of
the A. A. N.,. the largest meeting of
nurserymen each year is the December
session of the Western Association of
Nurserymen, held at the Coates House,
Kansas City. This year the dates are
December 8 and 9. The plan is to
make the meeting the occasion for
meetings of the A. A. N. executive
body and the various committees
charged with putting into operation
the new methods adopted at Detroit
last June.

The Program.

Secretary E. J. Holman announces
the following official program for the
meeting, beginning on the morning of
December 8:

Address of welcome, Henry L. Jost, Mayor.
Response, J. W. Hill, Des Moines, Ia.

@q THE NEW CHRYSANTHEMUM shown as Smith’s Cameo was
awarded the sweepstakes prize in the seedling classes at both

ling of the year.

proof that it is inclined to shatter or drop its petals.

This serious

defect disqualifies it as a shipper, and for this reason alone we have
decided, much to our regret, that it is unworthy of our indorsement

and dissemination.

Justice to our patrons is justice to ourselves,

roots do not run deeper than three feet,

about twenty feet in width. Will it be
injurious if any of the roots are cut?

L. B. W.—Wyo.

The best time to move evergreens of
the size you mention is in winter, when
you can get a good frozen ball with

them. Dig around the plants before
freezing-up weather arrives. Let the
trench not only encircle the plant, but
go a little below the roots. Then grad-
ually pick away the earth below. the
roots. Endeavor to work one or two
short pieces of plank below the ball, so
as to detach it entirely from the other
earth. Start the trench a good distance
from the trunk, work toward it and
save the roots all you can. Leave as
large a ball as you think you can move,
and as the distance they are to be
moved is small, by the use of some

76

iron or stout wooden rollers you should
have no great trouble in moving the
trees if a pair of horses are used.

The balls must, of course, be thor-
oughly frozen, and a clean course must
be dug out to the new location. The
new hole can be filled with straw. Re-
move this when sliding the tree into
the hole, later packing it closely around
the ball of earth. If necessary, guy
the trees through the balance of the
winter to keep them erect. When frost
has disappeared, fill around the trees,
firming thoroughly. If they are at all
dry, soak with water. Watering either
large or small trees or shrubs is bene-
ficial in fall or spring, unless the
ground is really damp. Be sure to dig
a hole of ample size. Cc. W.

We have a fine lot of plants in 5-inch pots, grown for
the retail trade. We have kept the buds and blooms
picked off until the plants have reached a good size and
they are now ready to burst into full bloom. They will
make fine stock for retailing from this time on and through
the winter. They will be in great shape for Xmas selling.

We advise that you have them shipped now and allow
them to come into bloom in your houses, as a plant in
bud will always ship better than one in full bloom.

A commercial bread and butter Carnation, winner of Certificates of
Merit from Massachusetts Horticultural Society and American Carnation
Society. Parentage, Winona by the Queen. In color it most nearly resem-
bles Winsor and Gloriosa—a light rose-pink, shading to a silvery pink in the
outer petals, resembling the tints of an apple blossom; the color deepens
during the summer; the plants stand the hot weather well, so that one dis-
likes to throw them out when the time comes. Its color is what firstattracts
customers, its keeping qualities hold them; it sells in the Boston market
in spite of its lack of size, which ranges from 21g to 2% inches in diameter.
Good for funeral work; makes plenty of cuttings, which root easily; a good
keeper and shipper; has paid me better than any standard variety. We
have confidence in it ourselves—with the exception of 800 plants of standard
varieties and a bed of yellow Marguerites, we have planted all space to this
variety, nearly 20,000 plants.

ore 27th and 28th; First Prize at the Illinois State Fair, at

beaten at any exhibition. The color is a most brilliant red. The size
of the flower is 34% to 4 inches. Stems 24 to 36 inches long, strong
and stiff. We have never had a burst calyx, all flowers grading firsts;
and, best: of all, it is a constant bloomer, giving a steady run of flowers
equal in number to the Enchantress family. It has a very spicy odor,
much greater than the average Carnation. It comes in full flower by the 1st
of December and then continues steadily through the balance of the season.
The present sharp competition in business requires the grower to
plant a variety that always produces high-grade flowers, never bursts

The Market.

Wintry weather has prevailed for
the last ten days and the florists’ trade
is being benefited by a more zestful
demand. Society events are numerous
and each affair demands its quota of
flowers. Business from near-by towns
has been exceedingly good and funeral
work is more than plentiful. The foot-
ball game November 21 created a big
demand for chrysanthemums, which are
now in their height, especially the
larger and finer varieties. The best. on
the marketi now are Eaton, Golden
Wedding, Chadwick, Wells’ Late Pink
and Enguehard. Pompons are moving
well. Chrysanthemum plants are in
splendid variety and quality, in both
singles and doubles. In fact, all sea-
sonable flowers are in heavy supply and
the outlook for stock for Thanksgiving
is encouraging. Roses are in plentiful
supply, notwithstanding the fact that
many growers have cut back their
stock for the holiday trade. Carnations
are of excellent quality and prices are
good. There is a large cut of lilies,
both Easter and calla. Sweet peas are
increasing in production, but do not sell
so readily because of the popular pref-
erence for pompon and single chrysan-
themums. There is @ good supply of
Beauties and the prices for them are
stiffer. Daisies, candytufts, antirrhi-
nums, mignonettes and bouvardias are
all in good supply.

Various Notes.

The retail store of A. J. Lanternier
& Co. has been redecorated and new
fixtures have been installed. Trade here
is unusually good and the stock excel-
lent. The Lanternier greenhouses are
sending in some extra fine carnations,
with large blooms and long, stiff stems.
The chrysanthemums are fine and the
potted mums in single, pompon and
double varieties are shown in a wonder-
ful variety of color. Miss Hilda Lan-
ternier has returned from Fort Recov-
ery, Huntertown, Ind., where she has
been for several months recuperating
from a nervous breakdown.

Miss Marjory Bradley has accepted

For the Commercial Grower
for Winter and Spring Delivery

Plants from those who back up the reputation of growing
and shipping, properly packed, the best plants that can be
produced.

GOLDEN GLEAM. As a novelty of the year we are offering a
seedling of our own raising. It is a bright, glistening yellow in color;
medium dwarf in growth. Fully as good two to a plant as single.
Matures Oct. 20th to Nov. 1st. Second crown buds were the best.

Rooted Cuttings, $7.00 per 100, $60.00 per 1000.

Marigold. The best yellow mid-season chrysanthemum that has ever
been introduced, when grown right. It must be planted early and the bud
should be secured by the 10th to 15th of August. It will be the first
crown. On-later buds it is by no means the equal of the early ones.

Crystal Gem. A fine, large, mid-season commercial white. Follows
Oconto, the best early white.

Early Frost. For real early white plant Early Frost. Take the first
crown bud. Start cutting in early October. Pure white and a good keeper.
It is of equally good quality from later planting but matures later.

odello. <A fine, early November bronze. Good from any planting, and
an easy doer. Sensational color. Pretty as a cactus dahlia.

Golden Queen. A fine, early, light yellow. Best with us as a second —
crown from early June planting. GOLDEN GLEAM

NOVEMBER 25, 1915,

BALTIMORE.

The Market.

Business conditions could only be
called fair last week, but the retail
trade was about up to the average.
The supply of stock at the wholesale
market was larger than could be taken
up by the stores; consequently, large
lots were sold to the street fakers at a
low figure. Mums, of course, are in the
largest supply and the retail trade used
a large number, but many were sold at
low prices. Roses, while a little off
crop, are too plentiful to bring good
prices. Carnations have been moving
fairly well; they are in good supply and
of good quality. Beauty was one of the
slow sellers of the week, numerous
mums hurting the sale of these. Valley
was in fair demand and the supply was
ample.

Various Notes.

J. P. King, of Mount Airy, is ship-
ping good Chadwicks, both white and
yellow, to the S. S. Pennock-Meehan

Mack Richmond, gardener for Mrs.
W. B. Cochrane, is cutting some good
gardenias and has a bench of splendid
Sunburst roses.

The Myer-Stisser Co. reports a good
sale of bulbs this fall.

Visitors last week included George
Hermann and J. Harrison Dick, of New
York; William F. Gude, of Washington,
D. C.; 8. 8. Pennock, of Philadelphia.

DES MOINES, IA.

The J. S. Wilson Floral Co. held its
annual chrysanthemum festival Novem-
ber 13 and again succeeded in attract-
ing a large number of people into the
store and houses, many of whom may
go there the next time they want flew-
ers. The visitors were particularly
pleased with Timothy Eaton and Yel-
low Eaton mums, which certainly were
as fine as any in the Hawkeye state.
Carnations were good in practically all
varieties.

A recent visit to the Pratt establish-
ment, formerly known as the J. F.
Marshall greenhouses, found the grounds
and range in good order, with Charles
McCanniff in charge. Carnations are
the principal crop. Godfrey callas,
Easter lilies and Asparagus Sprengeri
are given considerable space.

The Iowa Seed Co. is cutting high-
grade mums in many varieties, but for
size, William Turner is preéminent.
Roses, carnations and pot plants are
more than satisfactory. This company
has erected another greenhouse for the
retail department, making a total of
five houses devoted entirely to local
trade.

The Market.

A plentiful supply of flowers, with
the exception of orchids and gardenias,
is to be had for the Thanksgiving busi-
ness. Advance orders indicate that
this will be one of the best in recent
years, although prices may be a little
lower than usual. Last week the only
flower having an unvarying price was
valley, which stood at $4 per hundred.
Several killing frosts have cleared the
market of outdoor flowers, but pompon
chrysanthemums are to be counted by
the wagon-load and at prices which are
decidedly detrimental to trade in other
varieties of stock. (Last week extra fine
roses were to be had at from $2 to $6
per hundred. American Beauty roses
brought up to $3, with a limited quan-
tity of specials at $4 per dozen. Chrys-
anthemums were offered to buyers at
practically their own figures. Snap-
dragon is good and the sale on this is
improving. The weather is not quite
cold enough for violets and their sale is
decidedly draggy. Business during the
entire month has béen satisfactory and,
according to a number of storemen, the
future looms up bright. ‘The announce-
ment of the various diplomatic, official
and semi-official events to take place
at the White House is pleasing news to
retailers and wholesalers alike.

Various Notes.

Among the week’s visitors was James
W. Campbell, of Ardsley, N. Y., who
accompanied the chrysanthemum ’ plant
having 1,200 flowers, which was grown
on the estate of Adolph Lewisohn, to
the Cleveland flower show, where it at-
tracted widespread attention. While
in Washington Mr. Campbell visited the
places of national interest and spent
considerable time inspecting near-by
greenhouses. Other visitors were R. T.
Brown, of the Cottage Gardens, Queens,
N. Y.; Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Knight,
of New York; Robert Shoch, of M.
Rice Co., Philadelphia.

The next regular meeting of the Flo-
rists’ Club of Washington is scheduled
for December 7. Plans are being made
for a motion-picture exhibition on that
occasion. Some of the pictures to be
shown will be those taken on the battle
fields of Europe, depicting actual con-
ditions abroad. Refreshments will fol-
low the business meeting. Cc. L. L.

The Market.

Real winter weather made its first
appearance November 15 and wrought
a desirable change, for the market has
stiffened considerably and the quality
of stock now plays an important role.
The weather has checked long-distance
shipping to a certain extent. The de-
mand also experienced a change for
the better. Beauties are sufficient for
the demand, selling out every day.
The quality is as good as has been seen
this season. Other varieties of roses
are more plentiful, with the exception
of Mrs. Russell, of which there never
seems to be enough. The varieties
most plentiful are White Killarney and
Killarney. Carnations are more plenti-
ful than ever, but as their quality is
good, no difficulty is experienced in
clearing them. The supply of violets,
both double and single, is large enough
to supply the call. Valley is about the
same as last reported:

Chrysanthemum receipts are smaller
than those cf the week previous, be-
cause of the cold weather. Pompons
are about the same. The quality is
good, but the quantity is somewhat
small. Callas are to be had again.
Faster lilies are quite sufficient. Snap-
dragon and mignonette are available.
Stevia has made its appearance and
comes in handy in boxes of cut flow-
ers. Greens of all kinds are sufficient,
especially adiantum. '

Various Notes.

J. G. Pickleman has a handsome win-
dow display of white and yellow mums.
Business is not quite as lively as an-
ticipated.

Barney Myers is cutting some fine
lily of the valley. He has sent in his
first stevias of the season.

Joseph Sangster, of Jefferson street,
has acquired an automobile for deliv-
ery purposes.

E. Stroh: has been busy with. decora-
tions and funeral work.

A busy week was experienced by the
forces at both the Palmer stores, prin-
cipally with funeral work and wedding
decorations. A. E.

Greenhouse Heating.

SUBSCRIBERS are invited to write the
Editor of this Department with regard to
any details cf greenhouse heating that
are not understood. But please do not
ask The Review to make a choice of ap-
paratus for you. The greenhouse heating
equipment advertised in this paper is, we
believe, the best for the trade to buy,
and each article the best in the special
field of its adaptation.

STANDARD PIPE OR OLD TUBES?

I have two new greenhouses and
should like to get some advice on the
heating system. Some figures on. the
cost of the piping have already been
submitted to me, but seem to me to be
entirely unreasonable. You will find a
drawing of the houses enclosed. Would
it be preferable to use 2-inch pipe or
4-inch second-hand boiler tubes? I can
get the 2-inch pipe much more cheaply.
I shall use a Kroeschell boiler; will it
be necessary to pit this boiler? I in-
tended to grow carnations, but it is
now so late that I shall grow lettuce.
In that case will it be necessary to
have heat both under the benches and
at the side of them? As the diagram
indicates, there are five benches, each
five feet nine inches wide, in the two
houses, besides a 3-foot bench at each
outside wall. ‘

Will you give me an estimate of what
the piping should cost? I have had a
concern figuring on an outfit of 4-inch
second-hand boiler tubes and such other
material as is necessary to complete the
piping system only, without the boiler,
and the price charged, in the proposi-
tion submitted to me, was $1,550 for
3,750 feet of the second-hand tubes.
Would that be enough piping?

Cc. G. C.—TIll.

The sketch shows two houses, each
2114x184, with three feet of glass in
one wall of each house. A temperature
of 60 degrees is desired in zero
weather. The estimate of 3,750 feet of
4-inch second-hand boiler tubes and
other material is not far from correct,
so far as the amount of radiation
needed is concerned, but the price would
seem to be much too high, especially
if the labor of installing the system is
not included.

However, I would prefer to use 2-inch
pipe for the radiating surface, with one
38-inch flow pipe on the outside plate
of each house, together with three 21%4-
inch flow pipes additional in each house.
One of the 2%4-inch flows should be on

Engineering Advice

We have assisted many growers in the development of successful heating systems and our
engineering department offers a service? and the benefit of a knowledge and experience of
incalculable value to those who contemplate the erection of heating plants no matter how
small or how large, hot water or steam.

KROESCHELL CENTRAL HEATING SYSTEM

Installed for John G. Frisz, Vincennes, Indiana.

This plant at present covers over two and one-half acres of ground space and was
formerly heated by a large number of boilers located in different parts throughout
the plant.

Two years ago Mr. Frisz contemplated an addition of a new block of houses. and
as the heating systems in use were not successful, Mr. Frisz called on us for advice.

We suggested‘a central heating system and recommended that all boilers be torn
out and disposed of, and in place of same advised that the new power plant be located
at the extreme northeast corner of the plant alongside of the railroad tracks.

The new equipment consists of two No. 18 Kroeschell hot water boilers (central
station type), one 60 H. P. steam boiler, two 8 inch circulating steam boilers, and
steam condenser. Only one of the hot water boilers was required to heat the entire
Plant although the temperature had reached 20° below zero, the coldest winter in this
section for many years.

: In planning this heating system the equipment installed allows for a great increase
n glass.

With our system there is no expense on the operation of the circulating pumps, as
the exhaust steam from same is utilized to reheat the water coming from the green-
houses. With this system there is absolutely no waste.

The same season the new heating system was installed 20,000 sq. ft. of glass was
added to the plant, and in spite of this the new system made a saving of over 12 car-
loads of coal over the amount of fuel consumed the season before; and remember, the
new Plant heated 20,000 additional glass besides.

The Florists’ Review

Le Me

HERE’S A WHOLE lot of science to the

proper raising of flowers.

Ability to do it properly doesn’t come in a

lay—it takes many years.

But even the shrewdest veteran finds help in
the convenience and economy of the ‘* More-

He knows that with it installed in his plant,
he can always be sure of easily controlled,
uniform temperature in ALL of his growing
houses—

—that he will be forever free from the com-
plications and never-ending bother of steam
pumps—that he will have a dry, cheerful place
in which to work.

in one of the houses, and the remaining
4-inch flow may be used for the other
house. The 4-inch flows should be car-
ried at about the level of the purlins.
When the 4-inch flow reaches the mid-
dle of the second bench in the first
house, a 214-inch flow pipe should be
taken off. Then reduce the main flow
to 38-inch, and over the middle of the
third bed take off another 244-inch flow.
The main flow may then be reduced to
21-inch and carried to the inside plate
of the first house, where it should con-
nect with the flow pipe. In the other
house the connections will be the same,
except that the flow pipe on the inside
plate shouldbe connected first.

Carry the flow pipes through the
house, giving them a fall of one inch
in twenty feet, and at the farther ends
of the benches drop them down and
connect with the 2-inch return pipes,
distributed under the benches as already
directed. The returns also should, be

given a slight fall, and when they reach’,

the boiler end of the house they should
be connected with the main return
pipes, which should be of the same size
as the main flow pipes.. Each of the
main flow pipes should be connected
with the expansion tank at its highest
point, which will be not far from the
boiler. :,

Unless it is possible to sink the boiler
so that it will be about as low as the
returns, I would install a mercury gen-
erator, or some similar means of placing
the system under pressure.

A system such as has been described
will require about 1,200 linear feet of
2%4-inch pipe, 500 feet of 3-inch for the
outer wall flows, about 3,700 feet of
2-inch for the coils, and fifty feet of
4-inch for the main flow and return
pipes. Using new pipe throughout, the
cost for the pipe and fittings should not
be more than $1,500. About one-half
that amount would be enough to pay
fdr good second-hand pipe.

ABOUT BOILER CAPACITIES.

F have two greenhouses, each 15x38,
containing 1,800 square feet of glass.
I also have a 7-section Gold boiler, with
a grate 19x28 inches. Will this boiler
heat the two houses? Can you tell me,
also, the number of square feet of glass
that a 20-horsepower steam boiler will
heat, if used as a hot water boiler?

C. B. W.—N. Y.

The amount of glass that can be
heated with a given boiler depends to
a great extent upon the temperature to
be maintained, since the boiler would
have to be fifty per cent larger for 65
degrees than for 50 degrees. If the two
houses are well built and have about
an average exposure, they will require
a boiler with a rating of approximate-
ly 500, 600 and 800 square feet of radia-
tion, respectively, for 40, 50 and‘60 de-
grees, when the temperature is 10 de-
grees below zero outside. The actual
radiation needed in the houses will be
about twenty-five per cent less for each
of the temperatures mentioned than is
specified as the capacity of the boilers.

I' do not know enough of the actual
performance of a Gold boiler of the
size mentioned to make positive state-
ments regarding its efficiency. Although
a good deal depends upon the size of
the grate, the results will be considera-
bly modified by the nature of the heat-
ing surface of the boiler. I am of the
opinion, however, that the boiler men-

Business is rather quiet. Chrysan-
themums are coming at their best, with
a large supply of all sizes of blooms, but
the prices so far this season have not
ruled as good as last year. Roses have
been scarce, especially white, and prices
have been slightly stiff. Violets, which
are beginning to come better, both in
quality and quantity, were short No-

The Florists’ Review

NOVEMBER 25, 1915,

NASHVILLE, TENN.

The Market.

Last week was cold and rainy, the
coldest weather of the season thus far.
At present it is clear and everything
points to another spell of fine weather.
It is to the interest of all that we have
fine weather this week, for it should
bring the heaviest business of the year,
with the exception of that at Christmas.

Carnations are now the most plenti-
ful flowers, but few of them are going
to the dump. The quality is fine at
last; they wholesale at $2. The out-
of-town orders for carnations are
heavy. Roses are not so plentiful as
they were, but the quality is good.
Ophelia, Kaiserin, Russell and Hoosier
Beauty seem to be the most plentiful,
though there are plenty of Wards and
some good Killarneys. It is surprising,
however, how largely the Killarneys
have been displaced in this market by
the newer and, I think, better roses.
Roses are mostly retailing at about
$1.50. Few are sold at wholesale.
Lilies are not so plentiful as they were
a short time ago, though there is a
fair supply of both rubrum and Easter
lilies. Valley is on the short side.
Chrysanthemums are the show feature,
of course, but there is no surplus of
any kind this season. For a few days
when the weather was too warm, they
came in rather faster than they could
be sold, but that is all changed.

I am informed that the bulb stocks
in this city were never so closely
cleaned up as they are at present, this
early in the season. Many items are
sold out entirely, despite the fact that
imports were heavier than those of last
year and thousands of home-grown
bulbs have been sold. I have noticed
many irises in bloom during the last
two or three weeks. They were either
of the intermediate type or the west-
ern variety, Sylvan Fairy. I saw many
outdoor hyacinths in bloom last week.

Various Notes.

The Joy Floral Co. has its refrigerat-
ing plant in operation in one part of
the storeroom and is#rapidly install-
ing the system in the other. The com-
pany will have room enough to do most
of the cold-storage work as soon as
the plant is completed.

Geny Bros. seem to have had an un-
usually heavy fall business, keeping
sold out most of the time. Their pot
chrysanthemums have been unusually
good.

McIntyre Bros. are cutting good or-
chids. They bid fair to have the heav-
iest cut of orchids ever grown in this
city.

Haury & Sons continue to sell quan-
tities of good pot mums. Their singles
and pompons are exceptionally fine.
They are doing a good cut flower busi-
ness. F. B.

NovEeMBER 25, 1915.

NEWARE, N. J.

The Market.

Flowers are overplentiful and reasona-
ble in price. Orchids are scarcer and
the price has gone up again. The
chrysanthemums now coming in are of
excellent quality and find a ready sale.
Pompons and anemones are abundant.
Valley is arriving in large quantities
and is of good quality. Potted primroses
and cyclamens are coming in and form
part of the window displays at some of
the stores. Sweet peas are more plen-
tiful and of better grade. Carna-
tions are fast becoming more staple,
both as to quality and price. Roses are
good and arrive in sufficient quantities
to supply all demands. Ophelia and
Stanley seem to be the best sellers.
Violets are more plentiful and are not
at all high-priced for this season of the
year. There is a good sale for ferns in
pots and in baskets.

Club Meeting.

The monthly meeting of the Essex
County Florists’ Club was held Novem-
ber 18 at the Krueger auditorium. The
committee in charge of the recent
chrysanthemum show reported. It was
the consensus of opinion that the show
was a great success, considering that it
was the club’s first show. From the
experience gained in the presentation
of this show it is expected that the
club members will be able to present a
much better one next year. The attend-
ance at the meeting was the largest
the club ever had. Charles Schenck, of
New York, was elected a member, and
three applications for membership were
received. The entertainment commit-
tee, of which Richard Youell is chair-
man, was authorized to arrange for a
ladies’ night under the auspices of the
club. A nomination committee was ap-
pointed, consisting of August Begerow,
W. W. Adams and John Crossley. The
committee will make its report at the
January meeting and the new officers
will then be elected.

EVANSVILLE, IND.

The Market.

Two or three good frosts have killed
all the outdoor stock. Business during
the first part of last week was rather
quiet, but toward the end of the week
things brightened up somewhat. More
roses, carnations and mums were on
the market than could be sold. So far,
November has not come up to the Octo-
ber record of sales., Thanksgiving busi-
ness will help some.

' Club Meeting.

The second monthly meeting of the
newly organized florists’ club was held
at the William Halbrooks place. The
attendance was good and five new
members were taken into the club. The
new members are Miss Nellie Goodge,
C. E. Gysemen, William M. Halbrooks,
Jr., Isaac R. Mills and Otto Kuebler,
of Newburg. Miss Goodge was unable
to attend the meeting, but wanted to
be put down as a member.

Theodore Kuebler gave an interest-
ing and instructive talk on the mum.
Carl Elspermann will talk on Christ-
mas plants at the next meeting, which
will be held at the J. C. Elspermann
store, December 15. After adjourn-
ment the members were invited to Mr.
Halbrooks’ greenhouses, a short dis-
tance away, where lunch was served.

Various Notes.

Julius Niednagel & Sons are cutting
excellent roses, carnations and violets.
The mums are extra good. As fast as

the mums are cleaned out the benches.

are filled with other stock. Emil Nied-
nagel and C. L. Niednagel attended the
Chicago flower show.

The Blackman Floral Co. is enjoying
a good business. Its roses, carnations
and mums are excellent. The men are
cutting lilies, snapdragons and greens.
George Blackman attended the Chicago
flower show.

Miss Nellie Goodge says business was
good during the second half of last
week. She is hardly able to be about
yet since ier fall, but she says she
just has to go to the greenhouse to help.

J. C. Elspermann has been confined
to his bed for some time. Business is
excellent at the store.
mann has all of the stock, including
the carnations, in nice condition.

Range of greenhouses which we
designed and erected for
Mr. N. Grillo, of Milldale, Conn.

We have been asked why we persist in
speaking of the many jobs we have al-
ready completed. Our reason for doing
this and embodying the names and ad-
dresses of our customers is that anyone
interested in a greenhouse might verify.
to his complete satisfaction, all our
claims by corresponding direct with
any of them.

The one really sure way to secure best
results in your contemplated green-
house is to select the builder whose
claims to superiority are confirmed by
what he has accomplished for others.

When anyone makes his selection on
the above basis, he will find that the
service we are rendering to others is
just the service that is so vitally impor-
tant to him.

If you are contemplating the erection
of a greenhouse, write us—we can save
money for you.

heavy run of business.

Atlantic City, N. J.—Driving up to
the Hendrickson. greenhouse on the
Shore road in a high-priced touring car,
a smooth individual representing him-
self as an Atlantic City florist left an
order for choice blooms amounting to
$100. He returned an hour later, load-
ed the flowers into his car and told the
attendant in charge of the greenhouse
to forward the bill. Not until several
days had elapsed was it discovered that

That is a safe general rule; in the case of CYPRESS as THE Greenhouse Lumber it is an absolute

truism. Small wonder that those who urge the ‘‘substitute’’ have but the one cry, ‘‘cheaper.’’ But the

substitute is NOT ‘‘cheaper,’’ except as to initial cost. ;

The only businesslike way to figure material costs in Greenhouse building is BY THE YEAR.

There’s nothing consolingly ‘‘cheap’’ about repair and replacement bills. The truly cheapest green-
house is the one that shows the least totals—at the end of a term of years—first cost and up-keep together.

By that rule CYPRESS for greenhouse construction has all other woods beaten at the start. It is the
absolute cheapest, figured by the year of its life. If built of heart Cypress, with ‘‘Pecky’’ Cypress for cer-
tain parts, the wood cannot be substituted by any other material ever grown or made. Talk of a ‘‘substitute’’
is worse than bosh. It is not quite square. If contractors would say: ‘‘We can build you a greenhouse of
cheaper wood,’’ that would do, for the so-called ‘‘substitutes’’ are all cheaperin first cost. BUT MORE EX-
PENSIVE IN THE END. Do you care? You bet you do—you’re a business man as well as a flower grower.
‘‘The Building Age,’’ August, 1912, issue, page 409, in specifications for a small f ghar says: ‘‘ These
timbers should be made of Cypress, for on account of its straight grain, strength and durability, this has been
found to be THE WOOD BEST ADAPTED FOR GREENHOUSE CONSTRUCTION.’’

Another fine increase in sales brings Thanksgiving to
the front as one of the important special flower days

T is a case of ‘‘just a few flowers for the table’’
at Thanksgiving. But there are 20,000,000
tables in the United States! So is it any

wonder the fourth Thursday in November is
one of the important special flower days? No,
§ 8 not always has been, but is. Getting better
every year. So we florists have a double reason
(ea) to be thankful—the same reason everyone else
has and the added, special, extra reason that
ours is one of the few trades that profits by
a holiday that has been looked on as set apart for football
and gormandizing. Indeed, we should be thankful, ex-
tremely, humbly thankful. Things are coming our way!
Flowers Have Become a Necessity.

People in the provision trades once spoke to us patron-
izingly, commiseratingly, because, as they said, flowers were
‘‘a luxury’’; it was to be expected that a florist would have
harder sledding than almost anybody else, for almost every-
thing was more necessary than flowers. But we are en-
titled to look with sympathy on, to deal gently with, the
man who says as much today. Poor fellow;
he doesn’t know! Flowers graced many a
<a Thanksgiving table that saw no turkey.
Flowers have become a necessity—if not to
all the people, at least to a great many, and
not by any means all of them wealthy.

If you look .back over your records for
several years, probably you will find a fairly

: here and there you will find a day
that shows up with an increase
that keeps getting better and
better as compared to the
daily run.

One Is Thanksgiving.

course, stands out as

crease, for it is comparatively new. And there’s Memorial
day, big only in recent years. But how Thanksgiving looms
up these last few seasons! In 1913 it was better than ever
before; in 1914, an oasis in a desert, comparatively speaking
better than either Christmas or Easter. And then, in 1915!
Well, just read the reports in this issue of The Review!

It is apparent everybody, everywhere, had a big Thanks-
giving. There were plenty of flowers; they could be offered
at moderate prices; everybody bought some. It was quite
turning the tables on the provision man, who had to pay
so much for his turkeys he could only sell a few even thoug.
he cut his profit small. It’s an object lesson for us.

Medium-priced Stock in Request.

Anyone reviewing the Thanksgiving business will be sure
to note that it was the moderate-priced stock that was in
demand. It always is so when people buy flowers for their
own use.

‘‘You know before a customer tells you,’’ commented a
thoughtful retailer the other day, ‘‘what is to be done with
the flowers selected. The long-stemmed Beauties, the 4-foot
Russells and the 10-inch Eatons are gifts for
somebody who might think one ‘cheap’ if
more useful flowers were sent. But the flow-
ers to go to one’s own home are 15-inch
roses, a few carnations or a bunch of pom-
pons.’’ It’s so all the time and at Thanks-
giving it is an important factor, because
ninety-nine out of every hundred purchases
at this holiday are flowers for the .
buyer’s own family table.

But what a splendid aggregate
of sales it makes when almost every
family in town spends from 50 cents
to $1 for flowers! How well worth
the effort to keep the people coming!

Put It on the Tab.

Memory is as a broken reed
when used as a guide for busi-
ness plans. So write it in the
record that next Thanksgiving a
special effort is to be made to
obtain and sell flowers at a popu-
lar price. Not flowers that only
the wealthy can afford,
but flowers that can be
sold like the _ proverbial
hot cakes, and to the same
class. of people—the men
with the 650-cent pieces
going home from work.

Make a note right
now that Thanksgiving
sales made a big increase

But to the trade there is a more im-

The people again have money, it is

fear! It won’t; not after such a fine

Many horticultural books bear the
plain evidences, as plain as if stamped
on the cover in big red letters, that they
are suitable for the use of only one
class of readers, either the amateurs
alone or the professionals alone. This
book, however, is so written as to be in-
teresting and instructive to both classes.
It is neither so elementary as to be
useless to the practical expert, nor so
technical as to bewilder or repel the
poorly informed beginner. It is not a
dreary or difficult book to read. Its
ideas are presented in such a form as
to be easily assimilated, like food that
is both palatable and wholesomely nu-
tritious. The illustrations partake of
the same character as the text, being
both attractive and helpful.

FERTILIZER FOR ASPARAGUS.

I have about 2,400 asparagus plants
that do not develop so well as they
should. I kept the plants, which are
3 years old, on the dry side all summer.
During the last. week of August I began
to water them abundantly, but they did
not appear to respond. Last winter
they did not do so well as some I saw
in other houses. Would a small amount
of nitrate of soda stimulate the plants?
Granting that it would, how much
nitrate would you advise me to use on
a bed 6x100 feet? I could grind the
nitrate of soda fine, spread it on the
bed by hand and wash it in with the
hose. Kindly advise and oblige a sub-
scriber in trouble. F. C.—Pa.

Nitrate of soda would be a rather
strong stimulant to apply to a bed of
asparagus that is not in active growth,
and I do not advise its use.

A top-dressing of cow manure about
two inches thick would be more likely
to give permanent results, provided that
a proper night temperature is main-
tained—about 60 to 65 degrees. It is
quite possible that the asparagus has
been kept too dry during the summer
and that this is one of the reasons for
the poor start it is making. W. H. T.

FERTILIZER FOR SMILAX.

What is a good fertilizer for smilax
that has been planted a short time, and
how soon shall I start feeding the
plants? In the bench of young plants
I also have some older plants from last
year. Please advise as to the fertilizer
to use. W. G. F. G.—Mo.

As soon as the roots are active in
the soil the feeding can commence. You
can apply liquid cow or sheep manure,
or, if preferred, use a mulch of old
manure. Feeding can be more liberally
carried on as daylight increases, toward
spring. Cc. W.

nati begonia leaves. My plants grow
well, but every leaf on them is affected

and I wondered if they were burnt and
if I ought to knock them out of the soil

any of this type of winter-flowering
begonias. Well decayed cow or horse
manure is a perfectly safe potting
medium to add to the loam. Also, if
you have any leaf-mold that is not too
much decayed, add sufficient. to make
one-fourth of the whole compost. -These
begonias delight in a light, moderately
rich soil, sufficiently porous so that water
passes through it readily. I would sug-
gest shaking out the plants and giving
them a compost as recommended.

TULIPS FOR CHRISTMAS.

October 4 I planted the following
single tulips: Artus, Rose Grisdelin, La
Reine, Yellow Prince, Thomas Moore
and Keizerskroon. Are there any among
these, besides Yellow Prince and La
Reine, that I can have in bloom for
Christmas, and what time must I bring
them inf Our house is cool and I do
not know how much time to allow.

A. K.—Neb.

You may be able to get a few La
Reine and Yellow Prince for Christmas
if you plant them sufficiently early, but
such bulbs always come quite short-
stemmed and I doubt if there is any
money in them. October 4 is not an
early date to plant these tulips, and it
‘would be of no use for you to attempt
forcing them for Christmas. Tulips
should be started a couple of inches be-
fore being placed in heat. Then, early
in the season, they should be put in a
warm, dark place to draw them up be-
foré gradually exposing them to the
light. Bulbs potted early in October
would be better if not started before
January. Then allow a month to flower
them in your cool house. Cc. W.

PANICULATA, NOT SERRATA?

‘*T have tumbled across one of those
curious instances of where a plant has
for years masqueraded under a name
not belonging to it, and for this little
contretemps our American friends are
entirely to blame,’’ says W. A. T., in
the Horticultural Trade Journal (Brit-
ish). ‘*As stated in some previous
notes, the Stevia serrata I grew twenty
years ago bore large panicles of pure
white, starry flowers, and for this rea-
son I have never been able to recon-
cile the statement in my dictionary that
Stevia serrata was flesh-tinted. More-
over, the form of leaf was not edged
sufficiently to warrant the term serrata.
My tests this season have brought out
the fact that the plant the Americans
list and grow so largely for cutting is
not Stevia serrata, but Stevia panicu-
lata. More than ever convinced that
the plant I have been growing is of
market value, I brought it to the no-
tice of several market friends, not one
of whom had ever seen it. Carrying it
further, I showed it to many botanical
and horticultural experts. Most of the
latter jumped to the conclusion that the
Stranger was an asperula or a eupa-
torium. A botanist from Wisley, how-
ever, scouted this idea, and, convinced
that it was a stevia, thereupon investi-
gated the matter and duly informed
me that it was Stevia paniculata, a spe-
cies that he had never seen and had no
knowledge of whatever. Like myself,
he at once realized its value for cut-
ting, more so as it flowers after Gypso-
phila paniculata has finished.

‘“To me it is amazing that Americans
should have nursed this plant for so

many years without realizing their er-
ror. Still more astonishing is it that
no one on this side had ever troubled
to try out seed obtained from an Amer-
ican source, for in many United States
catalogues it is described as a white,
tiny, starlike flower, borne in large
panicles.’’

PESTS ON POINSETTIA PLANTS.

We have a fine lot of poinsettia
plants that are forming their bracts.
We notice that. white fly and mealy
bug are appearing in spots on these
and we are afraid to use nicotine
fumigation as a remedy. Would you
suggest using hydrocyanic acid gas, or
is there any other remedy with which
we can combat these pests until we
are ready to cut the flowers at Christ-
mas? J. W. R.—Ohio.

Nicotine fumigation will not harm
poinsettias in the least, but it will not

give a light dose.

Hydrocyanic acid gas would kill both
white fly and mealy bug, but, though
this is a splendid remedy, I would hesi-
tate to recommend its use unless you
Poinsettias will not
stand anything like heavy fumigation
without showing a loss of foliage or
burning, and they need a comparatively
high temperature while the bracts are
opening, which makes the likelihood of
damage greater than in a low tempera-
ture. You can get rid of the bug by
using a spray nozzle attached to the
hose, while a soap spray will take care
of most of the white fly, if properly
directed. C. W.

single tulips: Artus, Rose Grisdelin, La
Reine, Yellow Prince, Thomas Moore
and Keizerskroon. Are there any among
these, besides Yellow Prince and La
Reine, that I can have in bloom for
Christmas, and what time must I bring
them in? Our house is cool and I do
not know how much time to allow.

A. K.—Neb.

You may be able to get a few La
Reine and Yellow Prince for Christmas
if you plant them sufficiently early, but
such bulbs always come quite short-
stemmed and I doubt if there is any
money in them. October 4 is not an
early date to plant these tulips, and it
would be of no use for you to attempt
forcing them for Christmas. Tulips
should be started a couple of inches be-
fore being placed in heat. Then, early
in the season, they should be put in a
warm, dark place to draw them up be-
fore gradually exposing them to the
light. Bulbs potted early in October
would be better if not started before
January. Then allow a month to flower
them in your cool house. C. W.

PANICULATA, NOT SERRATA?

‘*T have tumbled across one of those
curious instances of where a plant has
for years masqueraded under a name
not belonging to it, and for this little
contretemps our American friends are
entirely to blame,’’ says W. A. T., in
the Horticultural Trade Journal (Brit-
ish). ‘*As stated in some previous
notes, the Stevia serrata I grew twenty
years ago bore large panicles of pure
white, starry flowers, and for this rea-
son I have never been able to recon-
cile the statement in my dictionary that
Stevia serrata was flesh-tinted. More-
over, the form of leaf was not edged
sufficiently to warrant the term serrata.
My tests this season have brought out
the fact that the plant the Americans
list and grow so largely for cutting is
not Stevia serrata, but Stevia panicu-
lata. More than ever convinced that
the plant I have been growing is of
market value, I brought it to the no-
tice of several market friends, not one
of whom had ever seen it. Carrying it
further, I showed it to many botanical
and horticultural experts. Most of the
latter jumped to the conclusion that the
Stranger wd@man asperula or a eupa-
torium. A anist from Wisley, how-
ever, scouted this idea, and, convinced
that it was a stevia, thereupon investi-
gated the matter and duly informed
me that it was Stevia paniculata, a spe-
cles that he had never seen and had no
knowledge of whatever. Like myself,
he at once realized its value for cut-
ting, more so as it flowers after Gypso-
phila paniculata has finished.

“To me it is amazing that Americans
should have nursed this plant for so

many years without realizing their er-
ror. Still more astonishing is it that
no one on this side had ever troubled
to try out seed obtained from an Amer-
ican source, for in many United States
catalogues it is described as a white,
tiny, starlike flower, borne in large
panicles.’’

PESTS ON POINSETTIA PLANTS.

We have a fine lot of poinsettia
plants that are forming their bracts.
We notice that white fly and mealy
bug are appearing in spots on these
and we are afraid to use nicotine
fumigation as a remedy. Would you
suggest using hydrocyanic acid gas, or
is there any other remedy with which
we can combat these pests until we
are ready to cut the flowers at Christ-
mas? J. W. R.—Ohio.

Nicotine fumigation will not harm
poinsettias in the least, but it will not
avail against the two pests you name.

Hydrocyanie acid gas would kill both
white fly and mealy bug, but, though
this is a splendid remedy, I would hesi-
tate to recommend its use unless you
give a light dose. Poinsettias will not
stand anything like heavy fumigation
without showing a loss of foliage or
burning, and they need a comparatively
high temperature while the bracts are
opening, which makes the likelihood of
damage greater than in a low tempera-
ture. You can get rid of the bug by
using a spray nozzle attached to the
hose, while a soap spray will take care
of most of the white fly, if properly
directed. C. Wi

NATIONAL FLOWER SHOW.

When the National Flower Show
committee took a lease of Convention
hall, the building in which the National
Flower Show’is to be held in Philadel-
phia Marth 25 to ‘April 2, 1916, the
committee had some misgivings as to
whether’ thé ''shéw could occupy the
tremendous aitlount of floor space pre-
sented.. Subsequent preparations, how-

f

ever, have shown that instead of being

too big, the hall is really too small.

Consequently, the floor plan as origi-
nally arranged has had to be altered to
accommodate the promure already felt
upon the space. The space set apart for
the trade exhibits has been minimized
and every available inch has been rele-
gated to the area required for the com-
petitive exhibits. It is not too soon
to state that the exhibition will fill
the building completely. The National
Flower Show committee advances the
idea of ‘‘show first;’’ therefore other
interests must give way. Those who
have already taken space in the trade
. section have acted wisely, for even at
this early date the space available for
trade displays is nearly all reserved and
it is only a matter of a few weeks be-
fore all the space will be taken up.

Among those who have contracted for -

space are the following:

WHAT COLOR IS SUPERB?

A question of fact has*arisen over
the action of the judges regarding Car-
nation Superb at the Chicago show. In
The Review’s report of the show it was
stated that the Thompson Carnation Co.,
had protested because
Superb was disquali ed when entered
as a flesh pink, as being too dark.
N. P. Miller, secretary of the show
committee, came back with a letter in
which he quoted the judges as saying
the variety scored too low to get into
the awards. Now Charles M. Fish,
manager for the exhibiting corpora-
tion, says:

‘“We notice in The Review of No-
vember 25 a statement by Mr. Miller,
concerning our carnation, Superb, and
the ruling of the qcagee at the Chicago
Grand Floral Festival.

‘*We wish to state that Superb was
ruled out by the judges at the Chicago
show on account of its color, and for no
other reason, as it was said to be too
deep a pink to go in the flesh pink
class. °;This statement was made to
our supérintendent, Mr. Peterson, by
Mr. Kennedy and Mr. Hess, two of the
judges, and up to 7 o’clock in the
evening no action had been taken by
the re fle on our protest against the
ruling out of Superb from the flesh
pink class:on account of color.

‘*We have never yet made any com-

the same will be made three weeks from
this date.

Canna Lafayette—In some respects it re-
sembles the famous Meteor, but ‘the flowers are
a more intense scarlet. The heads of bloom are
carried erect above the healthy, green foliage,
producing a brilliant effect in mass planting.

Canna Windmar—This canna is rather dwarf
in habit; the flowers are medium fh size; fine,
rounded petals; color, clear, distinct orange,
broadly margined with canary-yellow; an early
and free bloomer; self-cleaning; erect trusses,
carried well above the foliage, which is a marine
shade of green; parentage, Buttercup x seedling.

GLADIOLI IN MARCH.

H. Youell, Syracuse, N. Y., secretary
of the American Gladiolus Society, in-
vites correspondence from all who are
interested in the forcing of gladioli,
as a fine list of premiums has been of-
fered the members of the society for
a display of flowers at the Nationa)
Flower-Show in Philadelphia in March.
Almost identical classes are to be pro-
vided for commercial growers and for
amateurs. The full schedule will be
included in the premium list, shortly to

prizes at flower shows and the only rea-

that we wanted a ruling on the classi-
fication of color on Superb so we would

will publish the protest we made it will
be easily understood why we made it.
It was for no other reason than dis-

CARNATION PHILADELPHIA.

I am forwarding to you a sample of
my Philadelphia carnation plants. They
were planted about the end of August.
The soil I have is a sandy loam. The.
plants seem to be growing too slowly.
Please tell me what can be done. I
am also sending you a sample of the
soil. A. A.—TIl.

Your Philadelphia carnations are
probably coming along at their natural
gait. We find that this variety, unless
planted quite late, will not come into
crop as early as most varieties. Strange
as it may seem, early planting does not
affect it in the same way as other sorts.
The only beds I have seen come into
crop early in the fall were planted late

in September. We consider it just as
well to have it come into crop about
December 1, because the blooms seem
to have poor texture up to that time.
During the winter, however, there seems
to be no complaint along that line and
the color is certainly fine. We top back
any stray shoots that start up during
August and September, in order to
throw the crop into December and later.
Those light spots are caused by the
disease known as stigmonose, which can
be eliminated only through selection
of the cuttings. This variety seems to
be more susceptible to the disease than
most other varieties are. <A. F. J. B.

BUD-ROT AND BRANCH-ROT.

I am sending you by mail some dead
and dying branches from my carnation
plants. On some of the plants from
one to four branches die. In most cases
the bud seems to rot and then the whole
branch dries up, but a few of the
branches dry up all over at the same
time, without the rot in the bud. If
you can inform me what the disease is,
and the remedy, I shall greatly appre-
ciate the favor.

G. L. B. & C.—Va.

_You have two separate and distinct
diseases to contend with. The decaying
of the buds is what is known as bud-
rot. This is due to a tiny mite, which
gets into-the bud and causes the petals
to stick, thus preventing them from de-
veloping and causing them to rot. Con-
tinuous spraying with one of the nico-
tine preparations will destroy the pest.
Keep these decayed buds picked off and
burn them. .

_The other damage is caused by th
disease commonly known as branch-rot.
It differs from the better known stem-
rot in that it ddes not attack in the
Same manner. Neither is it a wet form
of decay, but is known as a dry rot.
Almost any fungicide may be used to
combat this disease; our favorite rem-
edy is Bordeaux mixture. Get it right
into the heart of the plant, as that is
where the disease harbors and attacks.
Bordeaux can be used as often as once
each week until the disease is under
Control, without injury to the plants.

WITHERED LEAVES AND BUDS.

Enclosed you will find a few samples
of Pocahontas carnations. The leaves
at first become dry at the ends and
finally wither entirely. Some of the
buds are like the one I am.sending you.
I have the same trouble with the leaves

of Philadelphia carnations. Can you
suggest a remedy for this?
E. L.—Mass.

The discoloration of the leaves on
your Pocahontas is caused by the dis-
ease known as_ stigmonose. Many
growers are misled by the color of the
spots, which is a purplish brown in
most of the crimson and scarlet varie-
ties, instead of the lighter brown as
in the light-colored sorts. There is no

remedy for this disease, as has been
frequently stated in these columns. The
only escape from this trouble, as far as
is known at present, is elimination at
the time the cuttings for propagation
are selected.

It is nothing unusual to see a few
buds blasted in the fall, especially: if
the plants were benched late or if they
suffered a good deal at the time. It
will probably disappear in due time,
if normal culture is given.

SPIDER AND. SPOTTED FOLIAGE.

Enclosed you will find some foliage
of Champion carnations. The foliage
has been coloring from the tips down
to the stem. Will you kindly inform me
what the trouble is? Will you tell me,
also, what is the best way to get rid of
red spider? J. G. L.—Minn.

The leaves submitted were so badly
dried up that it was impossible to tell
much about them. They looked merely
like dead leaves, although one leaf
showed what looked like a single leaf-
spot. If these round spots are what is
trpubling your carnations, I can suggest
a remedy. Get some Bordeaux mixture.
You can procure it in a paste state or
you can get a recipe and make it your-
self. Spray the plants thoroughly with
it, after having picked off.all the leaves
that show any of these spots. Paint
one of the heating pipes with a mixture
of one-half sulphur and one-half lime,
and enough water to make a thick
paint. Give plenty of ventilation and
water moderately until you have the
disease under control.

For the red spider get an Evans salt
sprayer and use it according to diree-
tions. By using it once every week or

ten days, you can keep your plants free
from spider. A. F. J.B.

EDUCATING THE PUBLIC.

According to all the accepted stand-
ards, the value of a flower show is meas-
ured by the number of people it inter-
ests, so the South Dakota State Col-
lege at Brookings must be doing good
work for the trade.

Fully 10,000 people visited the recent
eighth annual chrysanthemum show, in
the three houses 41x115 feet, where an
unusually attractive display of more
than 7,000 plants had been arranged by
the college florist, F. C. Stoltenberg, a
display comprising 340 varieties and
over 40,000 blooms.

The State Collége chrysanthemum
show is becoming an important educa-
tional feature in eastern South Dakota.
On one day more than 300 auto loads
of visitors came from a radius of sixty
miles to see the display. During the
evenings of the 10-day exhibit, music
was supplied by the college orchestra
and members of the music faculty.
Many visitors who had attended sim-
ilar displays in the east stated that
Mr. Stoltenberg’s decorations were as
good as they ever had seen.

STEMS CRACKED UNDER BUDS.

What causes chrysanthemum buds to
crack in the neck, just before opening
into full flower? E. F. E.—N. J.

The cause of stems cracking under
the bud, before flowering, has been
many times discussed in these columns.
This, of course, only happens in the
ease of strong-growing varieties, such

as Wm. Duckham and Wm. Turner.
When the plant. is growing vigorously
and receives a heavy dose of fertilizer,
the roots start. working and push the
sap up more quickly than the bud can
assimilate it. Nature then steps in and
checks*the flow of sap to the bud by
snapping off part of the stem at the
neck. here this snapping off is noted,
it is a danger signal, showing that the
plant is getting more feed than it can
take up. It does not necessarily fol-
low that the flower will not finish be-
cause the bud is snapped, as I have
seen flowers finish perfectly though
only hanging by a shred.

A GOOD COMMERCIAL WHITE.

We desire a good white commercial
mum for next season, one that is a good
keeper and showy. We shall appreciate
any information you can give us on this
subject, as we wish to add to the whites
we are now growing. We are‘ growing
William Turner and Mrs. Robinson and
a few Western King, but would like to
add a few more. We do not want Chad-
wick or White Eaton, but would like
to know about the White Bonnaffon. Is it
as good as the Yellow Bonnaffon? We
have never seen White Bonnaffon grow-
ing, and would appreciate any informa-
tion you can give us in regard to varie-
ties and when to take the bud on each.

DATE OF FLOWERING.

Please state the average height of
these chrysanthemums: Oconto, Unaka,
Chrysolora and Early Frost. How
early can these be flowered, and what
are the right dates for taking the buds?

E. F. E.—N. J.

The chrysanthemums mentioned will
grow to a height of two to four feet,
depending a good deal on when they
were propagated. With us they aver-
age about three feet and come into
flower the first week in October, if we
take the buds that show early in
August. Chas. H. Totty.

SOME OF THE NEW MUMS.
At the fall flower shows, beginning

. at Madison and concluding at Cleve-

land, C. H. Totty exhibited a number
of new things in chrysanthemums, some
of which are illustrated on page 21.

First in order of interest Mr. Totty
considers a yellow sport of Wm. Turner;
next a yellow sport of Mrs. Gilbert
Drabble. This is a good shade of yel-
low and likely to be grown extensively
by exhibitors who grow the parent suc-
cessfully. It has been given the name
William Rigby and Mr. Totty thinks it
will prove an ideal exhibition flower,
as the color is good and the fact that
it was awarded first for the largest
flower in the show at Cleveland, where
quality was the distinguishing feature,
will give an idea of its size. As for
the foliage, anyone who has grown Mrs.
Drabble knows the wonderful foliage
of that variety.

Another variety that is of large size
is Mrs. J. Gibson, the prevailing color
of which is. a light shade of pink,
which deepens towards the edge of the
petals. This is larger than any pink
ever distributed and when it comes out
will be likely to appear in all exhibi-
tion sets.

Morris Kinney is an incurved flower
of pure white. It is as large as Wm.
Turner and even on the earliest buds
is without the topknot which so often
makes Turner objectionable from the
finished bloom standpoint on the ex-
hibition table. Kinney is said to be
an easy doer and the stem is as rigid
as in the old Golden Wedding, which
for years has set the standard for stiff-
stemmed varieties.

For commercial use Autocrat has been
certificated by the C. S. A. It is an
English seedling, sent over by Lowe &
Shawyer, and is one of their best late
bloomers. It is in the place on the
lists where most growers now have only
Jeanne Nonin. The shape is good and
the foliage medium in size, which per-
mits of rather close planting. By
planting this variety late, Mr. Totty
says it can be brought in for Thanks-
giving or Christmas, as desired.

Pompons and singles occupied an un-
usually conspicuous place this year. In
Mr. Totty’s new set the pompon Nippon
is described as a handsome grower,

forming fine pot plants without pinch-
ing. The color is a delicate flesh, with
yellow center, which fades as _ the
flower gets older. Among the many ex-
cellent singles is Mrs. E. H. Wells, the
color of which is a creamy lavender.
Richard Delafield is a _ stiff-stemmed
flower, the color terra-cotta, shading to
scarlet, almost startling in its bril-
liancy. Another promising variety is
Mrs. John A. Stuart, Jr., bronze, with a
yellow zone around the center disk.
Isabel Felton was classed in Europe as
the finest single. It is bright yellow.

MOTT-LY MUSINGS.

F. L. White, store manager of the
Mills Co., Jacksonville, Fla., says the
fall opening last year was such a big
success they then planned to repeat the
occasion this year during Thanksgiving
week, because of the lateness of chrys-
anthemums. In conjunction with the
leading local paper, Mr. White cre-
ated interest in that important event.
The Mills Co. was a heavy loser of
stock through the recent rain storms. At
this time of writing, Jacksonville is
aglow with bougainvillea, hibiscus,
plumbago, hardy passifloras, etc.,
against backgrounds of Cocos australis,
Phenix Canariensis and Latania Bor-
bonica.

ness, still find a good demand for ficus.

tion successfully and will soon be
around as usual.

A. W. Richardson, of Savannah, who
is proud of his carnations, remarked
that there was not a straw growth to
be seen, which conveys an idea of the
vigor of his carnations. Chrysanthe-
mums are grown with an eye to qual-
ity rather than quantity. Radiance is
the favorite rose.

John Wolf, of Savannah, speaks
highly of Radiance. The conditions
seemed to be ideal for this rose. Mr.
Wolf says that he conducted a con-
tinuous show until Thanksgiving, stock
being in first-class condition. The mat-
ter of azaleas is a puzzle. Rumors of
shipments, without anything positive,
at this late date, mean considerable
risk.

Robert Lockerbie, grower for the
Scholtz Co., of Charlotte, N. C., called
my attention to two beds of Enchant-
ress carnations, one bed being in soil
two years old and the other bed in
soil three years in use. It was impos-
sible to see any difference in the plants
and both beds were in prime condition.
A house of roses, five years planted,
will be replanted with Radiance or
Russell. Chrysanthemums were fine, but
there are not enough high-grade blooms
to meet the demand; last season it was
vice versa. A fine crop of Eaton was in
sight, to sell at $5 per dozen. Nephrol-
epis Smithii is doing splendidly and is
a good seller. This fern requires care

in watering. The store has been re-
decorated in white enamel and equipped
with full-length mirrors.

Charles A. Moss, Spartanburg, S. C.,
remarked that when two of his men,
who held responsible positions, left at
a critical moment, it reminded him of
the story of the teacher who, during
the question period at school, noticed
one little boy deep in thought and
asked him to give an interrogatory
sentence. The boy, with a grave face,
recited: ‘‘If you was in a soft mud
heap up to your neck and I was to
throw a brick at your head, would
you duck?’’ Mr. Moss did not duek,
but with true Spartan spirit rose to
the occasion, with the result that hid
stock was never in better shape.

Howard Gardner, proprietor of the
Summit Avenue Greenhouses, Greens-
boro, N. C., is of the opinion that his
mums have not received the proper
medicine, as they were not up to the
usual high mark, although a batch of
William Turners were top-notchers.

G. M. Edwards, superintendent of the
Von Lindley greenhouses, Greensboro,
says that the placing of evergreens
outside the principal stores has not only
added to the beauty of the town, but
also created much outside business.
Among the good things supplied the
store is Hadley rose, of fine quality,
and in excellent demand, according to
Store Manager Edgar Sutton, who also
pays high tribute to the F. 7. D. as a
means of extending the shipping trade.

Spireas, cr astilbes, are now due. On
their arrival, soak the clumps well in a
tub of water and leave them in a frame
so that they can have one or two mod-

that equally fine sort, Peach Blossom.
These will not force as early as the
white varieties, but they are fine in the
spring. The cut sprays realize double
the price of the white ones for Memorial
day.

Lily of the Valley.

Pots of valley are readily salable at
the holidays. It does not seem probable
at this time that there will be any spe-
cial scarcity of pips the coming season,
as Denmark seems to have suddenly ac-
quired a tremendous crop of them.
Though many of these perhaps were
not grown in that country and may be
subject to seizure, yet there seems to
be no likelihood of any shortage the
coming winter. Use 6-inch pots for the
pips, placing eighteen to twenty in each
pot. Distribute the pips as evenly as
possible, leaving the points showing
above the soil, which should be fine and
preferably sandy in nature.’ See that
the soil is well shaken and _ pressed
among the pips. Cold storage valley
needs but little bottom heat, and if al-
lowed a month from the time of potting
will be in nice condition for Christmas.
The plants must be kept in the dark
until the stalks are well drawn up;
then they should be gradually exposed
to the light. If given a somewhat
lower temperature when open they will
keep better.

Schizanthus.

Schizanthus has jumped wonderfully -

into favor since the advent of 8. Wise-
tonensis. It can be flowered from Feb-
ruary until May, but is at its best in
March and the first half of April. From
an early batch sown late in August
plants are now in 4-inch pots and ready
for a shift. There is still ample time to
sow a batch of seeds. These gérminate
quickly, and when of sufficient size
should be pricked off into flats; later
pot off singly. Always grow them in
a cool and airy house, as they are im-
patient of heat and are soon spoiled in
a warm house. Schizanthus is a strong
feeder and should have a rich soil,
abundant supplies of water and plenty
of feeding.

A Winter Supply of Loam.

We now may expect winter soon, and
it behooves every owner of greenhouses
to lay an adequate supply of loam, sand,
leaf-mold and well decayed manure
under cover at once. Never mind if
there is merely a roof over the com-
post; that will be vastly better than
having to dig it out of a bank of frost

‘ y
and snow a little later. We never have
quite all the outdoor operations com-
pleted before winter sets in, but we
should plan to have the soil supply
under cover and convenient of access.
Doing this work now ‘will save consid-
erable hard, disagreeable work later.

Plow Vacant Land Now.

Probably the land on which asters,
sweet peas, carnations and other crops
have been growing is now bare. In such
a case it is good policy to plow the
ground deeply in the fall and leave it
rough over winter. If some barnyard
manure can be turned in, all the better.
This plowing mellows the soil and kills
lots of soil pests. In the spring such
land, when well harrowed, will be in
fine shape for early planting. Where
vacant ground was seeded down with
winter rye it is better to defer the
plowing until spring. Far too much
plowing is usually left until, spring.

Birch or wild cherry. twigs stuck

stalks, a light stake should be tied to
each growth. Another plan is to use
four or five stakes around the outsides
of the pans, or a larger number where
flats are used, and a few others inside,
running green twine or raffia from stake
to stake. Still another plan, and one
which holds up the plants surprisingly
well, is to cut pieces of ordinary
chicken wire netting to the shape of the
flats or pans, lay these over the plants
while they are small, and as they grow
raise the netting by attaching it to a
few stakes around the sides of the re-
ceptacles. Continue to raise the net-
ting as the plants grow; it will hold

Care of the Stock Plants.

The season for chrysanthemums in
the south is now over and there re-
mains only the care of the stock from
which to get good, strong cuttings in
the spring. Many growers in the south
practice the plan of setting out enough
plants of each variety in a frame or
bed, outside at planting time, and these
plants, so grown, give the finest kind
of cuttings. Plants grown in this way,
and. not disturbed, need no protection
in winter, even in the coldest sections
of the south. Where this plan is not
practiced, enough stock plants of each
variety can be replanted, after the
flowers are cut, in fresh soil on a table
or solid bed in a cool house, or in a
coldframe outside. In the latter case,
in the colder sections, sash protection
is necessary in freezing weather; other-
wise a good:many of the plants would
be winter-killed.

The season has been quite favorable
for chrysanthemums, though the ab-
sence of an early frost brought out a
great many in private gardens in good
shape and this interfered considerably
with the sale of the greenhouse stock.

The best all-round seller with us this
season was White Bonnaffon. This va-
riety also made the best average flow-
ers. We grew three flowers to each
plant, in a space 8x10 inches, and none
of the flowers of this variety retailed
for less than $3 per dozen; a good
many reached $4 and $5 per dozen.

Closely following this as money-makers
are Virginia Poehlmann, Major Bonnaf-
fon, Golden Wedding, T. Eaton, Lynn-
wood Hall, Ramapo, Pres. Roosevelt
and Silver Wedding.

An Annual Problem.

The taking of the bud is an annual
problem with many. Below is a list
of the varieties we grow, showing when
the first bud was taken on each and the
date of cutting the first flower. It is
hoped that the table may serve partly
as a guide to some growers for next
season. Of course, all the buds on any
one variety were not taken on the date
mentioned, as the operation extended
over from seven to ten days, but all the
buds developed into satisfactory flow-
ers. The fact that there were no bull-
heads among them shows that the bud
was not taken too early.

SCALE ON NEPHROLEPIS.

We notice that W. H. T., in The Re-
view of September 9, recommends a
solution of fish oil soap with nicotine
extract for scale on nephrolepis. His
directions are as follows: ‘‘If the
plants are in pots, the best treatment
would be to dip them in a solution of
one ounce of fish oil soap and one tea-
spoonful of nicotine, forty per cent solu-
tion, to one gallon of water, repeating
the dose at intervals of one week for
a time. If the ferns are planted out,
they could be sprayed with the same
solution. After dipping, the plants
should be laid down to prevent the drip
from draining into the soil. As this
pest is a persistent one, several treat-
ments may be needed to overcome it.’’

Now, we have some scale on Boston
and Roosevelt ferns and wish to treat
them effectively, but our druggists
know nothing of fish oil soap and so
we are at a loss to know where to get
it. Will you please tell us where it
can be purchased, and also state
whether any other remedy can be used?
We have the nicotine extract and can
get whale oil soap here. Could we use
it instead of fish oil soap?

Do any of the manufacturers of in-
secticides make a preparation suitable
for such use? ' We generally have great
difficulty in securing any of the newer
ingredients, as mentioned in formulas,
from our local druggists, and we do not
know the name of any firm that can
supply us. For instance, we had to
give our druggist a week’s notice when
we wanted some cyanide of potassium
and then we did not get what we or-
dered, and we could not get potassium
sulphide at all. Y. P. C.—Mo.

The whale oil soap is the proper svap
to use for such a purpose, but from the
fact that practically all the so-called
whale oil soap now in the market is
manufactured from fish oil, the more
correct expression, ‘‘fish oil soap,’’ was
used in the article referred to.

The nicotine may be had in the forty
per cent solution from any of the larger
dealers in horticultural. supplies. he
difficulty in getting cyanide of potas-
slum is due to the European war, as
Germany has been the chief source of
supply, but cyanide of sodium is equally
efficient for fumigating and is now
manufactured in quantity in this coun-
try. WH. .

FIGHTING FERN SCALE.

We are sending you under separate
cover a few leaves of our ferns, which
are diseased. We would be pleased if
you could tell us the trouble. We have
sprayed them with nicotine.

W. E. P.—Okla.

The ferns in question are badly in-
fested with the white fern scale, an
insect that is not easy to overcome.

Cut off the worst fronds and burn them,
then dip the plants in a 1 to 300 solu-
tion of nicotine, after adding one-half
ounce of fish oil soap to each gallon of
the solution. Repeat the dip two or
three times, at intervals of one week,
always protecting the plants from the
sunshine for at least twenty-four hours
after they ‘have been dipped.
WB. T,

HE DIVIDED OLD NEPHROLEPIS.

I am sending you fronds of a de-
ceased fern, which was one of many
that died in the tubs. Please diagnose
the trouble:for me. We have to use
deep well water. Would that cause
death to the ferns? As the plants had
been in the tubs for about three years,

Ghent, Belgium.—It is stated that
Count Joseph de Hemptinne, widely
known as an orchid grower and as one
of the managers of the 1913 quinquen-
nial show here, has been executed by
the German military government. The
charge against him is not named.

Paris, France——A comparative test
of rose novelties will take place in the
park at Bagatelle, in 1916-17 as in for-
mer years. Plants should, as far as
possible, have been raised in pots, and
at least five specimens must be sent
to the committee before April 15. The
new plants will be put in the ground in
the public rosary as soon as they reach
Bagatelle. They will remain there until
October of the second year, so that the
jury may be able to study them during
two seasons. A similar exhibition has
been held at Bagatelle every year since
1907. Gold medals are awarded for the
most meritorious novelties.

Hillegom, Holland.—Over the signa-
ture of W. Warnaar, chairman, the
Dutch Bulb Exporters’ Association has
promulgated resolutions adopted at its
meeting November 4, expressing ‘‘in-
dignation at the utterances of some
traders and growers in their catalogues,
price lists and advertisements in Dutch
and foreign papers, giving misleading
impressions of the state of the bulb
trade—serious as it may be at present
—and making thi; a ground for undig-
nified appeals to the kindness of the
public. Considering this to be in-
jurious to the interests of all and to
the reputation of the Dutch bulb trade,
the association expresses its strongest
disapproval of the same.’’

I divided each of them and repotted in
fern pots. This may have some bear-
ing on the case. C. M. H.—Tenn.
The condition of the specimens en-
closed with this query would indicate
that the old central crowns of this
nephrolepis had been potted after they
were divided, with the result that these
crowns did not start growth readily.
Young plants from 4-inch pots would
make more satisfactory stock and by
otting two or three of them together
in a 7-inch or 8-inch fern pot, one may
have good plants in a short time. The
division of old plants of nephrolepis
is not a practicable method of propa-
gation. W. iH. T.

Southampton, England.—Toogood &
Sons, who do a large export trade, say
the uncertainties of the present season
make it extremely difficult to ship per-
ishable stock and that the business of
exporting houses is seriously affected.

London, England.—The new British
postal law bars seeds from distribution
through the so-called sample post and
it is feared will work great hardship
on the trade. The Horticultural Trades
Association and leading seedsmen have
worked hard to obtain the concession,
now denied.

Hillegom, Holland.—Certain of the
growers who are not exporters have
united under the managing director-
ship of C. Reim to dispose of their sur-
plus of bulbs and roots. In their an-
nouncement they say: ‘‘In August,
1914, at the time when the great war
started, nearly everyone of us was
lucky enough to have sold the greatest
part of their bulbs to the large ex-
porters, who always used to send our
bulbs to England, America, Russia,
France, Germany, etc., but this season
it was not so easy to sell out again,
because every one of our old buyers
would not take half the quantity of
hyacinths, late flowering tulips, narcis-
sus, crocus, etc., which they did before
and therefore we are still overloaded
and we have now united ourselves, to
offer our enormous stocks.’’

liness she had made many friends who
will mourn her untimely death.

Mrs. Critchell was a life member
and a former president of the Ladies’

August Gontram.

The news of the sudden death of
August Gontram, of Holmesburg, Pa.,
was received with deep sadness in Phil-
adelphia. Mr. Gontram was in the
prime of life, and in full vigor of health
until ten days ago, when pleuropneu-
monia attacked him. He died Novem-
ber 28.

Mr. Gontram was a native of Alsace-
Lorraine. He came to this country
when a young man and soon accepted
the position of gardener at the Cath-
olic convent near Holmesburg. There
he grew fine plants, flowers and vege-
tables for many years. Mr. Gontram
embarked in business as a commercial

—all devoted to these three varieties of
cut flowers for the Philadelphia whole-
sale market.

Mr. Gontram’s funeral took place
December 2, from his home in Holmes-
burg. He was about 55 years of age
and is survived by his wife and their
three children. Phil.

Otto Stumpp.

Otto Stumpp, of West Hoboken, N.
J., whose death took place recently, in
his sixty-ninth year, was a well-known
figure in the seed trade of New York
and its vicinity. Up to September 20,
1915, for thirty-two years, Mr. Stumpp
had been with Peter Henderson & Co.,
as their selling agent at 88 Gansevoort
street. Since that time Mr. Stumpp
had been in business with his son, Otto
J. S. Stumpp, at the same location. The
son will continue the business in his
own name.

Otto Stumpp was born in Wiiyttem-
berg, Germany, March 9, 1846. His
father and grandfather were seedsmen,
and two of his brothers are in the seed
busihess in Germany. Mr. Stumpp came

W. Atlee Burpee.

W. Atlee Burpee, founder of the fa-
mous house that bears his name, died
Friday, November 26, after a long ill-
ness, at his home, Fordhook, near
Doylestown, Pa.

Mr. Burpee was 57 years of age. He
was for years one of the leading figures
in the American and in the .interna-
tional seed world. His rise to the high
position he held was in part due to his
keen appreciation of merit in plants;
he was able to select the best types of
vegetables and flowers almost at a
glance and persistently strove to im-
prove them. He was far-seeing in all
his business arrangements and never
attached his name to anything that was
not the best of its kind. But most of
all Mr. Burpee owed his success to his
wonderful facility of description; he
described vegetables and flowers so
that the reader could see them while
reading and, so seeing, wanted them.
The descriptions were never overdrawn,
never untrue; they were perfect. It is
said that Mr. Burpee wrote his entire
Annual—it frequently took him six
months—year after year.

So much for the cause of Mr. Bur-
pee’s eminence in the seed world.
Among men Mr. Burpee won hosts of
friends. He was big-hearted, sympa-
thetic and easy of approach. Strangers
who came to him for the first time felt
at home at once in his presence. The
messenger boy who was in trouble re-
ceived counsel and comfort, while im-

“portant matters were put aside for the

moment. That was W. Atlee Burpee.
Do you wonder that he had friends
everywhere?

W. Atlee Burpee was born at Shef-
field, in the province of New Bruns-
wick, Canada, April 5, 1858. His par-
ents brought him to Philadelphia when
a child and educated him at the Friends”
school and at the University of Penn-
sylvania. Mr. Burpee preferred busi-
ness to medicine, leaving college at the
end of his second year to raise chickens
and fancy stock in an experimental
way. He founded the firm of W. Atlee
Burpee & Co. in 1878, at 221 Church
street, Philadelphia. There he dealt in
seeds. His farm was on Long Island,
where an expert grew many of the
seeds he sold. It took hard work and
was pretty slow at first, but Mr. Burpee
stuck at it and things steadily im-
proved. When his seed-growing ar-
rangement on Long Island ended, he
looked about for a seed farm of his
own. The late E. D. Darlington, who
had joined Mr. Burpee, interested him
in the country near Doylestown and in
1888 a farm of 125 acres was purchased.
It was named Fordhook. The year
prior to this, January 10, 1887, Howard
M. Earl came to Mr. Burpee and has
remained with him ever since, rising
to the most important position with
him. Mr. Darlington was made man-
ager at Fordhook and Mr. Earl, who.
moved out to the farm, was manager of
the newly acquired building at 475
North Fifth street, Philadelphia. The
present Burpee building was built on
this location in 1898 and it was in-
creased in 1911 to three times its orig-
inal size.

Although he is said to have intro-
duced more new varieties and improved

types of vegetables than any other man
jin America, Mr. Burpee is, perhaps,
best known to the seed world through
his development of the sweet pea. It
came about in this way. The Rev. W.
T, Hutchins, an enthusiastic amateur
grower of and writer on sweet peas re-
siding at Indian Head, Mass., inter-
ested Mr. Burpee in his hobby. That
was in 1892. Mr. Burpee admired the
sweet pea, saw its possibilities and
went to work. The grandiflora type
then led. Selection and hybridizing
were diligently followed. Meanwhile
Mr. Hutchins wrote about sweet peas
and interested people in them. Then
Mr. Burpee went out to California, saw
the wonderful possibilities of the coun-
try and its climate and interested the
great seed house of C. C. Morse & Co.
in the work. Lester L. Morse gave the
improvement of the sweet pea his per-
sonal attention for years. The Cupids
followed; then the bush varieties; then
the Spencers. People became interested
as the types improved and Mr. Burpee’s
rise was rapid. In 1899 Mr. Burpee
arranged that his friend, Mr. Hutchins,
should go to the bicentennial of the
sweet pea held in England to commemo-
rate the bringing of the first sweet pea
seed to England from Italy. In 1900
Mr. Burpee arranged with his compet-
itor, Henry Eckford, of England, with
whom he was on the most friendly
terms, that all the Eckford sweet pea
novelties should. be sent out simultane-
ously in England and in America. The
vegetable seed growing farm at Swedes-
boro, N. J., was added and then, in
1909, the sweet pea growing farm
called Floradale, in the Lompoc valley,
California, where the late Edwin Lons-
dale was manager. The fame of the
Floradale sweet peas was such that be-
fore the war great quantities of the
seed were exported, in addition to the
immense quantity used in this country.
The scope of the mailing seed busi-
ness of W. Atlee Burpee & Co. is too
well known to need description here.
It is said to be the largest in the world.
Mr. Burpee was a man of many in-
terests. He was a director of the Mar-
ket Street National bank in Philadel-
phia, of the Northwestern Trust Co.,
and the Colgate Co. He was a director
of the Wholesale Seedsmen’s League,
ex-president of the American. Seed
Trade Association, ex-president of the
American Sweet Pea Society and vice-
president of the National Sweet Pea
Society of Great Britain. He was a
member of the Trades League of Phil-
adelphia, the Board of Trade, a trustee
of the Howard Hospital and Sanatorium
Association, and of the National Farm
School. He was also president of the
Vanadian Society of Philadelphia and
a life member of the Royal Horticul-
tural Society of Great Britain and the
Societe Nationale Horticulture de
France. He was a member of the Union
League, Art, University, City, Racquet,
Bachelors’, Barge, and Poor Richard
clubs of Philadelphia, and of the
Merion Cricket Club, Country Club of
Lansdowne, and National Arts and City
lubs of New York city.

Otto Stumpp.

Otto Stumpp, of West Hoboken, N.
+., whose death took place recently, in
his sixty-ninth year, was a well-known
figure in the seed trade of New York
and its vicinity. Up to September 20,
1915, for thirty-two years, Mr. Stumpp
had been with Peter Henderson & Co.,
as their selling agent at 88 Gansevoort
street. that time Mr. Stumpp
had been in business with his son, Otto
J. 8. Stumpp, at the same location, The
son will continue the business in_ his

Otto Stumpp was born in Wurttem
Germany, March 9, 1846. His
father and grandfather were seedsmen,
and two of his brothers are in the seed
business in Germany. Mr. Stumpp came

W. Atlee Burpee.

W. Atlee Burpee, founder of the ta
mous house that bears his name, died
Kriday, November 26, after a long ill-
ness, at his home, Fordhook, near
Doylestown, Pa.

Mr. Burpee was 57 vears of age. He
was for years one of the leading figures
in the American and in the interna:
tional seed world. His rise to the high
position he held was in part due to his
keen appreciation of merit in plants;
he was able to select the best types of
vegetables and flowers almost at a
glance and persistently strove to im-
prove them. He was far-seeing in all
his business arrangements and never
attached his name to anything that was
not the best of its kind. But most of
all Mr. Burpee owed his suecess to his
wonderful facility of description; he
described vegetables and _ flowers so
that the reader could see them while
reading and, so seeing, wanted them
The descriptions were never overdrawn,
never untrue; they were perfect. It is
said that Mr. Burpee wrote his entire
Annual—it frequently took him six
months—vear after year.

So much for the Mr. Bur-
pee’s eminence in the world
Among men Mr. Burpee won hosts of
friends. He was big-hearted, svmpa-
thetic and easy of approach. Strangers
who came to him for the first time felt
at home at once in his presenee. The
messenger boy who was in trouble re
eeived counsel and comfort, while im-
portant matters were put aside for the
moment, That was W. Atlee Burpee.
Do vou wonder that he had friends
everywhere?

the bother of annual renewal by sending
The Review $2, $3, or sometimes $5, in-
stead of the dollar-bill that insures fifty-
two visits of the paper.

Goop holly will be scarce this season. .

According to a florist at Laurel, Del.,
who also deals in greens, the summer
drought is responsible, as it caused the
berries to fall off while still green.

WHILE a few lots of azaleas still are
missing, on the whole the importations
have arrived safely and all dan of a
scarcity is passed. Indeed, the opposite
condition now confronts the trade, as
Easter is so late much the greater part
of the azaleas will have to be disposed
of without the assistance of any speciai
demand.

Except for special purposes, the pub-
lic prefers colored flowers and naturally
yellow chrysanthemums have the prefer-
ence over white; but pink would sell as
well if good, clear, bright colors were of-
fered. There was a large increase in the
supply of pink mums this season, due
to the advent of such a promising sort
as Chieftain, but in many cases the color
was not all it should have been and, also,
the trade was not sufficiently well in-
formed as to the increased supply in this
color, so that sale was slower than it
should have been.

BUSINESS IS GOOD.

How can business be otherwise than
ood when new high records in the
oreign trade of the United States con-
tinue to pile up the greatest favorable
trade balance the country has ever
known? The movement of merchandise
and gold shown in figures made public
this week by the Department of Com-
merce discloses how decidedly the
United States has been converted from
a debtor to a creditor nation.

During the twelve months ending

‘with October, the foreign trade ex-

ceeded $5,000,000,000. Imports were
$1,691,748,013 and exports $3,318,634,-
636 as compared with imports $1,880,-
414,501 and exports of $2,140,847,829
during the twelve months previous.

During the twelve months ending
with October, $326,528,779 in gold came
to the United States to pay the debts
of other nations.

How can the flower business be other-
wise than good this season?

NEW YORK SPRING SHOW.

In recognition of the public interest
attaching to New York’s big- flower
show, to be held April 5 to 12, 1916,
the park department, through Commis-
sioner Cabot Ward, has communicated
to Secretary John Young its intention
of staging an exhibit at the fprthcom-
ing show which shall at least equal
the magnificent display made at last
spring’s show. It goes without saying
that Superintendent J. H. Beatty will
seek to eclipse his former staging by
making the ‘‘people’s exhibit’’ one of

the most noteworthy in the exhibition. |

Space in the trade section is being
taken up readily and this section of the
show bids fair to be larger than in
former years. The following have made
reservation for space:

The preliminary schedule should con-
vey the idea that the management is
making a feature of displays. The rose
garden display will be most notable in
the classes looking to the artistic end
of the show. Considerable interest also
attaches to the rock garden class. Dur-
ing the fall planting*season, growers
intending to compete in this class were
busy over the problem of what to grow,
and it is safe to say that we shall see

many plants strange to American flower
shows.

What was perhaps the most interest-
ing feature of the last show, the table
decoration class for hotels only, will
be given similar prominence the
forthcoming show. Judging from the
interest taken in this class, the stagings
will be much more magnificent in their
appointments than at the last show.

It is to be pointed out that the class
calling for New Holland plants is not
to be interpreted literally. The mean-
ing is that the plants to be offered in
this class are to be what are known as
New Holland plants, such as tree ferns
and the flora of Australasia. Why this
term should continue to be customary
is beyond comprehension. Australia, as
a name, needs little explanation nowa-
days. John Young, See’y.

KLEINHANS NOT EMBARRASSED.

George W. Geiser, attorney for A. B.
Kleinhans, Easton, Pa., states that there
is no truth in the report which has been
in circulation that a receiver has been
appointed for Mr. Kleinhans and that
Mr. Kleinhans has left Easton. Quite
the contrary, he states, Mr. Kleinhans
is still on the job, managing his own
affairs and not in any way embarrassed
except by the report that he is involved
in matters which do not concern him.
The Review is pleased to assist in cor-
recting what Mr. Geiser brands as a
wholly false report.

THE GARDENERS’ CONVENTION.

Everything is in readiness for the
annual convention of the National Asso-
ciation of Gardeners, which will be held
in Boston next week, December 9
and 10.

The committee on arrangements,
W. N. Craig, Duncan Finlayson and
William J. Kennedy, announces that
the convention will be opened in Horti-
cultural hall promptly at 2 p. m., De-
cember 9. That day will be devoted
to the disposing of the business before
the convention. Friday will be given
up to visiting points of horticultural
interest in and around Boston. The
Copley Square hotel has been selected
as the headquarters of the association.

A committee of the horticultural in-
terests of Boston and the Gardeners’
and Florists* Club of Boston is plan-
ning to make the visit of the gardeners
to their city a memorable one.

CHICAGO.

The Market.

Taking it by and large, the Thanks-
giving business was quite satisfactory.
Roses, with the exception of the
white varieties, were short of the de-
mand. Russell, as a matter of course,
cleared with great rapidity in all but
the extra lengths. These were inclined
to hang, as the demand manifested a
strong tendency toward the shorter
grades. Milady proved its wonderful
popularity as a winter rose by clearing
everywhere and leaving unsatisfied de-
mands in every house. Richmond, with
its dark, rich color and its excellent
quality, made an appeal that cleared
it from the tables soon after its re-
ceipt. Carnations were in oversupply
and prices fell rapidly after the ship-
ping orders had gone out. There was
a shortage of yellow mums. Of pinks,

also, there were not enough to go
around. Whites were available in quan-
tity. Pompons did not fare so well as
many anticipated, and the closing hour
November 25 found many hundreds of
bunches still unsold. Neither did vio-
lets seem to be‘a commodity with which
to conjure. Cattleyas were at a
premium.

_ Market conditions during the week
immediately following Mfhanksgiving
have exhibited no material change.
Good Beauties are a little more plenti-
ful, but are clearing splendidly. Poor
ones are difficult to move. Russell,
Milady and Richmond continue to fall
short of the demand, while Killarney
is demonstrating its worth as the old
reliable variety. For the season of the
year, white roses are not selling badly,
but the fact remains that they are not
moving with a degree of celerity caleu-
lated to arouse enthusiasm.

Carnations seem to have overleaped
themselves. Their cue is to come on
heavily immediately following chrys-
anthemums. Chrysanthemums are still
here and carnations are abundant.

One or the other must suffer in con-’

sequence. The flood of carnations is a
bit ahead of the demand, so they
suffer,

Chrysanthemums are still here, to be
sure, but in greatly reduced numbers.
Their day has passed, and they cease
to be an important factor in the mar-
ket. Pompons have experienced some
regeneration, but it is only slight. Cat-
tleyas have a way of creating popular-
ity and demand by absenting them-
selves from the market. It does not
always work, but it did this time.
Lilies in large numbers are on the
market, and there they are likely to
stay, judging from present indications.
Violets are not creating any furor.
Paper Whites have arrived and sell
fairly well. Romans are just feeling
their way. Gladioli and snapdragons
may be had if desired. Mignonette is
gaining favor. The supply of valley is
again meeting the demand.

Plumosus and Sprengeri cleared eas-
ily. Winter berries and pine branches
are arriving in abundance. Boxwood is
selling well. In fact, anything in the
way of greens will sell now.

The indications point to an unusually
large supply of flowering plants for
Christmas. Weather conditions have
favored the plantsmen and a surpris-
ing number of azaleas will be ready
for the holidays.

The Amling Range.

Material already is arriving in large
quantities at Maywood, for the big
range to be erected for the Albert F.

house Mfg. Co. The glass, 5,400 boxes,

ing been placed through a Cincinnati

Greenhouse White paint and a large
quantity of putty will be furnished by

Mr. Pyfer’s {‘Patent.’’

Talk about care in keeping the books
of a bank; it’s nothing to the painstak-
ing exactness required in a commission-
house. Once let the growers’ accounts
get mixed and one never hears the last
of it. The usual method is to keep
with each lot of stock a wood label
bearing the grower’s number, but it is
impossible to provide a numbered label
to go with each bunch of carnations

from the minute of its arrival to the
moment of its departure. So A. T.
Pyfer ‘‘invented’’ a better scheme:

Pyfer & Co. supply the twine with
which their growers bunch their carna-
tions. Each grower gets a different
color or kind, always the same. The
result is that no matter how the stock
is mixed, each grower’s bunches can be
instantly identified; labels can not be
lost or mixed.

There has been a lot of talk about the
advantage a good grower would get if
he could trade-mark his stock. The
string does that, too. At Pyfer’s place
buyers frequently ask for the Enchant-
ress with the blue string or the Winsor
with the white tie!

Various Notes.

The vacant store space on the ground
floor of the building located on the
southeast corner of Lake street and

Mention The Review when you write.

Wabash avenue has been rented tem-
porarily by Joseph Ziska & Sons for
additional storage space. In the same
building is the wholesale cut flower
house of Miller & Musser. Joseph
Ziska is at present negotiating for a
permanent addition to their space. This
has been rendered imperative by the
growth of business.

Has ‘Mrs. Russell been overtouted?
Albert F. Amling says no rose ever
had the steady boosting that has been
given this new favorite and that if it
should prove to be overdone next sea-
son The Review will be largely respon-
sible, because it has been the chief
means by which Russell has been
pushed to the attention of the trade.

Having cut all his mums for Thanks-
giving, Emil Buettner is filling the
space with stevia and Paper Whites, to
take out a crop before the houses are
needed for Easter lilies.

Subject to market changes.

Its annual importation of boxwoods,
etc., reached the E. Wienhoeber Co., on
Elm street, November 26, a month later
than usual. It was exceptionally fine
stock, but a few of the cases evidently
had come over in too close proximity
to the ship’s boilers. Mr. Wienhoeber
commented that the costs of transpor-
tation showed an increase of about fifty
per cent over those of other years, on
this shipment packing, freight, insur-
ance, duty, etc., amounting to 195 per
cent of the invoice cost of the plants.

There was a meeting of the flower
show executive committee at the Morri-
son November 26, A. Henderson in the
chair, at which bills were audited. The
guarantors in due time will receive a
report from Treasurer Poehlmann.

It is reported that the E. G. Hill Co.,
Richmond, Ind., shipped nearly 700
eases of stock, principally large mums,
into this market during Thanksgiving
week.

At the W. J. Smyth establishment, at
Thirty-first street and Michigan avenue,
where the automobile traffic flows past
in a never ending stream, business is
said to be fair this season, but erratic,
some days big and some days dead.
Thanksgiving was good.

There is interest in the Chicago mar-
ket regarding the whereabouts of Oscar
Schwartz, formerly in business at Basic
City, Va. Anyone who can give his
present address is invited to correspond
with F. S. Webb, 30 North Dearborn
street, Chicago.

How quickly some growers decide
against a variety is shown by Erne &
Klingel, who say they hear of growers
who already have decreed Hoosier
Beauty shall go to keep company with
Hadley, and that right speedily.

An automatic reminder, a strange al-
liance between sentiment and card in-
dex efficiency, has been devised by
Oscar J. Friedman, 522 South Michigan
avenue. There is no longer any excuse
for a husband permitting the wedding
anniversary to pass by unmarked by
some token of remembrance. Victor
Bergman has devised a card with blanks
to be filled out with the date of the
wife’s birthday, date of wedding anni-
versary, and many more blanks for
other occasions of which'a man might
wish to be reminded. The card is filled
out and filed with the florist, who noti-
fies the customer twenty-four hours in
advance of the important date. This
scheme should assist any florist to add
materially to his orders.

Carnation Alice steadily gains in
favor, both with buyers and growers.
N. J. Wietor says it makes about the
nicest plant that ever grew on the
benches of Wietor Bros.

The month of November has been the
largest in the history of the A. L.
Randall Co., says F. M. Johnson, who
says the supply department is working
nights and Sundays.

When sizing up the Thanksgiving
business it is not enough to say merely
that it was ahead of last year, accord-
ing to John Michelsen, of the E. OC.
Amling Co., unless it be recalled that
last year’s Thanksgiving was an excep-
tional one and relatively better than
any of the other special flower days last
winter.

The Richmond rose, all things consid-
ered, is the best winter red rose on the
market, in the opinion of Allie Zech,
of Zech & Mann. One thing greatly
in its favor is the fact that it crops
right for the Christmas market. Mr.
Zech, who is captain of the florists’
club bowling team, should be particu-
larly fit for the contest December 9,
as he will celebrate his thirty-first
birthday on that date.

At Winterson’s seed store J. P.
Degnan says the baby Christmas tree
for the table already is in demand, the
trade having found it a good seller,
whatever may be said of large trees.

While holiday business grows regu-
larly, C. W. McKellar notes that the
orders come later and later, thereby
increasing the florist’s difficulties.

A large importation of azaleas has
been received by the Poehlmann Bros.
Co., and Thomas Conlin, superintendent
of the plant department, says he. will
have fully 5,000 of them in bloom for
Christmas.

As vice-chairman of the Chicago
Greenhouse Manufacturers’ Club, Al-
fred Dietsch states that ‘‘it was re-
solved at the last meeting to disband
the club, as it had fulfilled its purpose.
This organization was originated with
the idea of contributing $500 worth of
silverware for premiums at the Chicago
Grand Floral Festival November 9 to
14. It was also resolved that we meet
again when the occasion arises for such
a worthy cause.’’

of his fellow florists he was enabled
to take care of his holiday business.
Last week his son was here buying new
fixtures and a large quantity of Christ-

The duty of laying in a heavy supply
of Christmas stock was responsible for

last week.

Olaf Johnson, of Johnson’s Green-

PHILADELPHIA.

The Market.

The first week of ‘‘the season,’’ from
Thanksgiving until the opening day of
December, has been moderately satis-
factory. There were too many flowers
to make it wholly satisfactory, because
with such an immense number of chrys-
anthemums to sell there was some cut-
ting in prices. When you come to look
over the situation the number of chrys-
anthemums disposed of at Thanksgiving
was surprising; prices were fairly satis-
factory on the good stock, but poor on
the low-grade stock and on the pom-
pons. Some of the wholesalers report
that chrysanthemums are well cut out,
while others assure big cuts for three
weeks to come. There were some sur-
ane figures on the scarce varieties.

or instance, cattleyas brought $1, a
few $1.25 each, which takes your breath
away, while Hadley reached 30 cents
each, but little below the price of the
best Beauties. Roses generally sold
well, except white, but it was noticed
that in the standard varieties the fan-
cies were overabundant. Carnations
were shy and reached $4 for Gorgeous
and Mrs. C. W. Ward; light colors
would not bring that price, nor would
short or weak stems. Violets started
out well, but failed to keep the pace.
The price of $10 to $12 per thousand
prevailed at Thanksgiving, but it re-

ceded immediately afterwards. Valley
has been selling well. Sweet peas are
welcome but not plentiful. Paper

Whites have arrived.

The market was barer of flowers No-
vember 29 than at any time since the
exciting week in mid-October, with in-
dications of fair business ahead.

Henry A. Dreer places, at Riverton,
Riverview and Locust Farm, in the
fore. No improvements are made with-
out careful consideration; no plan is
discarded unthinkingly. The result is
that the places year by year keep
abreast of the times, in equipment and
in quality of product. It may be that
when you see those Cocos Weddelliana
houses, those ranges of Phenix Rebe-
lenii and those kentias, you will say:
‘Ahead of the times.’’ Let that pass.
What I want to speak of today is the
building improvement that Mr. Hisele
is carrying out at Riverton. Just three
propagating houses—but the _ walls!
Have you seen the walls? They are made

of building tiles covered, inside and out,
with concrete. A drier, less expensive
wall than solid concrete. It is said that
R. O. King himself was surprised. Prac-
tical, enterprising builder that he is, it
was new to him. I have it on good
authority that Joseph Heacock was so
much pleased with this wall when he
saw it that he plans adopting it when
he next builds.

The Market.
Thanksgiving week will be long and

favorably remembered. If the rain had’

not spoiled a good Saturday, the record
would have been above expectation.
The holiday, for most of the retailers,
was an unexpected success, the stores
everywhere being closed in time for the
subjugation of turkey, hardly a desir-
able flower being left unsold. Prices
were not advanced unreasonably. The
public seemed to appreciate the appro-
priateness of table and home decora-
tion as never before.

Chrysanthemums and lilies were the
only surpluses. The latter seldom sold
above $5 per hundred. The supply was
still large when the week closed. Every
chrysanthemum grower seemed to have
saved his largest shipment for Thanks-
giving. Prices were kept to a level
that appealed to buyers and decorators,
leaving only a reasonable surplus for
the remainder of the week and for the
Sunday trade. Shipments of chrysan-
themums are growing lighter daily.
Another week should see them practi-
cally shelved, though there will doubt-
less be occasional receipts of the late
varieties until after Christmas. Some
grand Chadwicks, Bonnaffons, Eatons
and Golden Weddings are still arriv-
ing. The selects, worth $5 per dozen,
seldom sold above $3. Most of the
arrivals were disposed of at $10 down
per hundred. November 27 the top
price was close to 12 cents. Pompons
still were in evidence, the outdoor stock

being abundant, no frost having visited .

New York and vicinity.

Few carnations sold above $3 per
hundred, at which figure almost all the
novelties were distributed. The de-
mand will not become marked until the
mums are gone. But the quality rap-
idly is approaching perfection and
early in December their usual popu-
larity will materialize. For most of
the present arrivals $2 down is asked.
November 27 the week’s accumulations
‘ were cleaned up at $10 per thousand.

Cattleyas still are scarce and prices
high. Fopthe best, $1 per flower was

Thanksgiving business was all that
could be desired—weather conditions,
good; stock, plentiful; demand, excel-
lent; prices, good. Business continues
good, especially for flowers for wearing
purposes, such as valley, violets, sweet
peas and the small roses. Mums are
about played out, the few coming into
the market showing that they are near
the end. Spencer sweet peas have
made their appearance in limited quan-

Show Exhibitors.

The following concerns had displays
at the recent poultry and pet show held
at the Armory:

Jacob Schulz had a choice lot of
palms, ferns and other decorative stock.

The Nanz & Neuner Co. showed a
fine collection of boxwoods.

Anders Rasmussen exhibited a fine
lot of the cut flowers he grows for the
retailers.

The Jacob Schulz Co. had a display
of pedestals, pottery ware and other
accessories tastefully arranged by
means of cut flowers.

August R. Baumer showed a choice
lot of cyclamens, begonias, ferns and
other plants suitable for the holiday
trade.

These exhibits were non-competitive,
being staged for their advertising value
only, and were principally testimonials
to the popularity of George E. Schulz,
of the Jacob Schulz Co., who is one of
the members of the Poultry and Pet
Stock Association. A. R. B.

main feature of last week’s business
and nearly everything in the cut flower
line sold up well, with the possible ex-

good supply of mums, but, while many
were sold, no large prices were realized,
the smaller and medium-sized blooms
selling most easily. Pompons sold rea-
sonably well, but only at fair prices.
The small yellow button pompon was
in good demand. Chadwick, Bonnaffon,
White Bonnaffon and Frick form the

The Market.

There has been a decided improve-
ment in the local market. Weather
conditions are ideal and there is a feel-
ing that greater prosperity is at hand.
Stores are busy with wedding and din-
ner decorations, and for these prices
are better. The business incident to
the social seasons for the last two years
has been a disappointment. The com-
ing White House nuptials, it is ex-
pected, will create a heavier demand
for flowers this winter than has been
the case for several previous winters.
Thanksgiving business was exception-
ally good. All stock sold well, al-
though ‘prices were not so high as was
to be expected. Valley cleaned up and
some of the houses were unable to fill
their orders. This was brought about
by the entire absence of orchids. It
is reported that a single order for two
dozen white orchids last week was
turned down by both growers and ex-
changes.

American Beauty roses sold up close-
ly, bringing up to $4 per dozen for ordi-
nary stock, with some choice lots mov-

Third year on the market. Two types. Makes all
kinds of Festooning. Type No. 1 will wrap on any
size wire used for its center. One turn with handle
gives two wraps on Festooning. Center wire is meas-
ured while Festooning is wound, which eliminates
measuring of Festooning. Type No.2: Fine wire is
used for the center, one turn with handle gives one
wrap on Festooning. Does equally as good work as
Type No. 1. We furnish machines ready to work,with
enough wire to make 500 yards. Three days’ trial al-

daisies, as well as snapdragon, which
is always popular in Washington for
dinner decorations. Cornflower is in
some demand but scarce. Chrysanthe-
mums still rule the market. Nagoya,
yellow and white Timothy Eaton, Dr.
Enguehard, Black Hawk, Roman Gold,
golden and white Chadwick, and Chad-
wick Supreme, white and yellow Bon-
naffon and Turner are among the pres-
ent offerings. Poinsettia has made its
appearance and sweet peas are to be
had in limited quantities.

Various Notes.

A wedding took place at the home of
Mr. and Mrs. M. F McCabe, in Ana-
costia, just before Thanksgiving day,
when Miss Marie Lott, who had been
in their employ for several years, be-
came Mrs. W. C. Fry. The young
couple have gone to Miami, Fla., where
Mr. Fry is in business.

Harry McCabe, who is with his father
in the florists’ business in Anacostia,

has returned from Detroit.

GRAND RAPIDS, MICH.

The Market.

The arrival of cold weather has given
business a much needed boost and has
shortened the supply to a marked de-
gree. There still is, however, plenty
of stock to go around, and there has
been no marked increase in prices.
Society dances and dinners are begin-
ning and each registers a call for flow-
ers which, along with funeral work,
keeps trade healthy. Thanksgiving day
helped to round out a rather quiet
month in good shape. Everyone re-
ports good business and everything
cleaned up well, with the exception of
carnations, which was due to the large
call for pompons, of which there was
a decided shortage. Next year will see
several growers increase their space of
pompons for this market.

A few sweet peas are coming in, but
not in quantity to amount to much.
They are mostly white. Mums still
are plentiful in such varieties as Gold-
en Wedding, Wells’ Late Pink, the
Chadwicks and Enguehard. A football

Club Meeting.

At the meeting of the Houston Flo-
rists’ Club November 22, the election
of officers for the ensuing’ year resulted
as follows: President, C. L. Brock;
vice-president, H. H. Kuhlmann, Jr.
secretary, A. L. Perrin; treasurer,
P. M. Carroll. The latter two were re-
elected. The executive committee con-
sists of S. J. Mitchell, H. H. Kuhlmann,
Sr., H. Dirken and R. C. Kerr.

Preliminary plans for entertaining
the 8. A. F., which will hold its annual
convention at Houston next Aygust,
were discussed. A bowling tournament
will be held during the convention.
H. H. Kuhlmann was appointed chair-
man of the bowling committee.

Thanks were extended to those who
helped to make the recent flower-
fashion show a success. Particular
mention was made of out-of-town ex-
hibitors, including the Stuppy Floral
Co., of St. Joseph, Mo.; J. F. Wilcox &
Sons, of Council Bluffs, Ia.; Poehlmann
Bres. Co., of Chicago; A. L. Randall
Co., of Chicago; Pikes Peak Floral Co.,
of Colorado Springs, Colo.; Park Floral
Co., of Denver; Furrow & Co. of
Guthrie, Okla.; Joy Floral Co., of Nash-
ville, Tenn.; Rosemont Gardens, of
Montgomery, Ala.; C. H. Frey, of
Lincoln, Neb.

At the next meeting of the club R. C.
Kerr will read a paper on ‘‘The Best
Greenhouse for the Southern Climate.’’

SAGINAW, MICH.

Business in general for Thanksgiving
was better than ever it has been previ-
ously on that day. Demand had all
the salable and half-open mums ex-
hausted by noon. Roses were probably
the only flowers left over. Pompons
are a big factor now, being used for
every occasion. Carnations are in-
creasing in quantity and improving in
quality and big crops are expected for
Christmas, providing the weather con-
tinues to hold fair.

The Holly

Society held a chrysanthemum show at

Frueh’s. The results were as follows:
Charles Frueh & Sons, first, 92 points;
Boehringer Bros., second, 84; Martin

Keit, third, 80; John Marsh, fourth,
73; J. B. Goetz Sons, fifth, 68; William
Roethke Floral Co., sixth, 46. Twelve
large blooms in a vase for competition.
The pompons were shown in a wide
range of colors, in which Boehringer
Bros. received first, Charles Frueh &
Sons second, J. B. Goetz Sons third,
William Roethke Floral Co. fourth. The
society’s next meeting will be held at
the William Roethke Floral Co.’s green-
houses, Gratiot avenue, December 6, at
7 p. m.

Grohman the Florist had a set table

decoration in his window last week
which attracted a great deal of atten-
tion.

Charles Frueh & Sons had an ex-
tremely large run on funeral flowers,
which kept the store force working
early and late last week. ,

The William Roethke Floral Co. has
an exceptionally choice lot of pompon
chrysanthemums. They are _ being
eagerly picked up by the flower lovers.

J. B. Goetz Sons are cutting some
choice long-stemmed orchid-flowering
sweet peas and single violets, which are
not plentiful enough for the demand.
Their cyclamen plants, of which they
have a houseful, are a fine sight, and
just right for Christmas. Gee.

North Wales, Pa.—The management
of the Florex Gardens, Inc., is greatly
pleased with its success this season with
the Prima Donna rose, introducéd from

the Pacific coast. Daily shipments
have been made to the New York and
Philadelphia markets since October and
the prices returned by the commission
men are said to have run as high as
30 cents for the longest stems the few
days before Thanksgiving.

Nazareth, Pa.—A settlement has been
reached in all the cases brought by
Mrs. Mary L. Geiger against cement
companies operating in the vicinity of
her range. She sued the companies for
an aggregate of $60,000 damages for in-
juries to her houses and stock. Mrs.
Geiger stated that the dust from the
cement works made the propagation of
plants impossible and that the heavy
blasting in the quarries broke steam
pipes and cracked the walls of the
boilers. The terms of settlement were
not made public, but it is reported that
one of the companies may buy Mrs.
Geiger’s property.

Dallas, Tex.—At the recent debu-
tantes’ ball given by the Idlewild Club,
where the Rische-Chollar Floral Co. had
charge of the decorations, the entire
ballroom was encircled by 1,000 yards
of scenic tapestry. Limned against the
chalk-white skyline of the tapestry
were evergreens done in black, giving
the eerie appearance of a dense forest
at the witching hour. The ceiling was
covered with white canvas, the panels
being outlined with wild smilax. The
somberness of the scene was relieved
by numerous mums, which filled the
window boxes and the curve of the
large stage. The black and white motif
was continued in the banquet room,
where supper was served at midnight
to the 459 guests. Each table had as a
centerpiece a slim basket filled with
pompons. The walls of the redeption
room were banked with arborvites,
palms and ferns, with doorway arches
festooned with southern smilax. The
decorative motif also was carried out in
the programs, which were enclosed in
black and white-striped folders bearing
formal bouquets.

Geneseo, Ill—W. S. Tyner, proprietor
of the Tyner Floral Co., has a lemon
yellow sport of William Turner, of
which great things are expected. It is
said to possess all the attributes of
Turner, including great size. His stock
now consists of twenty-four plants,
propagated from the original sport,
which appeared last season.

Are you sending and receiving your share of these orders? You can send your share (and make
20 per cent profit without effort) if you let your customers know you can perform this service for
them. To receive your share—well, The Review’s department for Retailers’ cards remains the one

To be represented costs only 70 cents per week on a yearly order.

ST. LOUIS.

The Market.

Business last week, which included
Thanksgiving day, was satisfactory to
wholesaler, retailer and grower. Ac-
cording to reports from the trade in all
parts of the city, Thanksgiving busi-
ness was excellent. The wholesalers
report a clean-up of all fancy and first-
grade stock at satisfactory prices.
There was an abundant supply of mums,
which had first call, and many of the
blooms were extra fine, but the season
for mums is rapidly closing. Roses are
arriving in large quantities and the
demand for them is good. Killarney,
White Killarney and Richmond are in
the majority. Other varieties are not
so plentiful as they will be later. Car-
nations are selling well at advanced
prices. Extra good quality is seen.
The supply of violets is not as heavy
as in former years. Sweet peas are
in fine shape and soon will be plenti-
ful. Paper Whites and calla lilies now
are conspicuous. Good valley and
Easter lilies may be had in quantity.
Greens are plentiful. Ferns have ad-
vanced to $2 per thousand. Asparagus
and smilax have an excellent demand.

Various Notes.

At the meeting of the Retail Flo-
rists’ Association, November 22, at the
Mission Inn Garden, the following were
elected to membership: O. K. Sanders,
Nathan Kingsley, Alexander Siegel and
John Connon. The next meeting of the
association will be held December 20.

The forty-second annual convention
of the Southern Illinois Horticultural
Society was held November 30 and De-
cember 1, at Cairo, Ill. There were a
number of speakers from all parts of
Illinois. A few of the members of the
Missouri State Horticultural Society
were present. :

Members of the St. Louis Florists’
Club should remember that the next
meeting of the club will be held De-

York, addressed the me nnets at the
same meeting.

Martin Reukauf, of H. Bavermentat
& Co., Philadelphia; Julius Dilloff, of
Schloss Bros., New York, and Samuel
Seligman, of Wertheimer Bros., New
York, were recent visitors. They re-
port that trade is coming into its own
in all branches.

Fred W. Bruenig, of Columbia, Il,
should produce a large crop of extra-
quality carnations this winter, accord-
ing to recent visitors to his place. By
the way, Mr. Bruenig is fast master-
ing French under the tutorship of Jules
Bourdet.

Windler’s Flower Store had a charm-
ing Thanksgiving window display last
week. A large cornucopia, from which
fell a wealth of fancy fruit, filled the
center of the window and was sur-
rounded by vases of pink, white and
yellow mums. This concern reports an
excellent Thanksgiving business.

The poultry show at the Coliseum
last week, as usual, had its charm for
some of the florists who are chicken
fanciers. Among them were George
Waldbart, W. C. Smith, W. J. Pilcher,
Frank Weber, Frank Fillmore, Jr., and
A. G. Fehr. They were almost daily
visitors.

John Held has a fine lot of extra-
quality cyclamen plants which will be
just right for Christmas. He says his
mum crop this year was a big success,
both in cut stock and pot plants.

The St. Louis County Growers’ Asso-
eiation held its monthly meeting De-
cember 1, at the Eleven Mile House.

Fred C. Weber, Kalisch Bros., John
Boerm, Sanders’, Young’s, F. H. Weber
and Joseph Witek, west end florists, re-
port Thanksgiving day business large
and beyond their expectations.

The steady increase of business at
the Smith Wholesale Floral Co. place
calls for the help of Oscar Kuehn from
the wire shop to the cut flower depart-
ment during the morning hours. He
assists William Ossick and Paddy
Patton in packing deliveries.

Grimm & Gorly, Alex. Siegel and Fred
Foster, concerns located in the down-
town district, say they have had a
most satisfactory Thanksgiving day
business. The volume of business done
was greater than that of last year.

George Walters, wire worker, at Six-
teenth and Pine streets, left for Minne-
apolis November 27, when he received
a telegram stating that his mother was
at the point of death.

George Waldbart, the Grand avenue
florist, who is a confirmed bachelor,
takes daily trips to his farm in the
country, where he has a number of
fancy chickens and ducks. He says his
efficient store help makes it possible
for him to take such pleasures daily.

The Ayres Floral Co. attracted a
great deal of attention last week with
an excellent Thanksgiving window dis-
play. It consisted of a large plaque,
on which a design of natural fruit was
shown. The artist was Fred Stroh-
meyer, an expert in this line.

The officers of the St. Louis Florists’
Club met at the home of W. C. Smith

and mapped out a program for next

week’s meeting. The officers spent a

most pleasant evening as guests of Mr.

BOSTON.

The Market.

Dark, gloomy weather the day be-
fore Thanksgiving had a somewhat de-
pressing influence on the cut flower
market. Prices on chrysanthemums,
which appeared in immense quantities,
were low in the morning, but improved
considerably in the afternoon. Good
stock was all cleaned up, but a good
many second-rate flowers were carried
over. Thanksgiving day was, fortu-
nately, clear and fine and there was
considerable business at the wholesale
markets. The retailers also did a large
business. Bonnaffon, as usual, was the
predominant Thanksgiving mum. Pom-

ons had a large sale also. Roses were
in short supply and were cleaned up
easily. The best Beauties made $50.
On other roses the prices varied from
$3 to $20. Carnations in a few cases
made $5, but the regular price was $2
to $4. The whites, as usual, were the
poorest sellers. Violets sold well at an
average of $1 per hundred. Yellow
marguerites, cornflowers, pink snapdrag-
ons, valley and gardenias all sold fairly
well. In pot plants the calls were not
heavy, but a fair number of cyclamens,
begonias, azaleas, chrysanthemums and
poinsettias were sold.

Since Thanksgiving there has been
a fair market. Mums still arrive in
large numbers and unbalance the sales

of other flowers. They are likely to
be abundant until Christmas. Roses
are selling well and are not abundant.
Carnations do not move ahead any as
yet; with many growers they are in
light crop and high Christmas prices
seem probable. Violets are a little
lower. Orchids continue scarce and
gardenias are in short supply. There
is an abundant supply of lilies, but the
demand is somewhat weak. Valley has
been selling well. Paper White nar-
cissi and stevia are now fairly abun-
dant. Asparagus is not selling as well
as it did before stevia made its ap-
pearance.

Club Meeting.

There was an attendance of 150 at
the club meeting November 23. W. J.
Kennedy, for the legislative committee,
reported on a number of bills of im-
portance to gardeners and florists,
which would soon come up at the state
house. Some discussion took place over
the landscape classes, which it was de-
cided to start at Horticultural hall No-
vember 29. The teachers will be L. G.
Van Leeuwen and Paul R. Smith, and

it is hoped to have twenty-five sessions:

during the winter. Thomas Roland
read a financial report on the Boston,
1914, convention. The report showed a
balance on hand of nearly $1,000. J.
K. M. L. Farquhar, P. Welch, William
Downs, F. E. Palmer, W. J. Stewart
and others spoke on the report and
various matters connected with it.
Eight new members were elected. A
communication was read from Richard
Vincent, Jr., asking dahlia specialists
in the club to identify themselves with
the new dahlia society. A communica-
tion from John Young, secretary of
the S. A. F., ‘regarding a renewal of
affiliation, was favorably acted upon.
M. C. Ebel spoke on the convention of
the National Association of Gardeners,
to be held in Boston December 9 and

10, and, after some discussion, the ar-
rangements for the entertainment of
visitors were left in the hands of W. N.
Craig, D. Finlayson and W. J. Ken-
nedy, to codperate with a committee
to be appointed by the ‘‘horticultural
interests’’ of Boston.

The lecturer of the evening was
George B. Gallup, president of the
Pilgrim Publicity Association, who gave
a most delightful talk on ‘‘ Advertis-
ing, the Light that Serves and Saves.’’
A number of questions were asked the
speaker, after which he was given an
enthusiastic vote of thanks.

The following were nominated as
officers for the ensuing year: President,
James Methven; vice-president, W. J.
Patterson; treasurer, Peter Fisher; sec-
retary, W. N. Craig; executive com-
mittee, H. H. Bartsch, Peter M. Miller,
W. J. Kennedy, A. K. Rogers, George
W. Butterworth, W. C. Rust, L. G. Van
Leeuwen and William H. Judd.

The exhibits included specimen chrys-
anthemum blooms of grand quality; Be-
gonia Ensign, from Alexander McKay,
the latter awarded honorable mention;
a good collection of flowering plants,
from the W. W. Edgar Co.; Bouvardia
Humboldtii and Solanum Capsicastrum,
Montreal type, from W. N. Craig; Car-
nation Miss Theo, from Littlefield &
Wyman, and a new pink seedling rose
of a promising character, from Charles
E. Holbrow.

Various Notes.

William R. Nicholson finds Alice a
wonderfully free carnation, which is
going to give Pink Delight a tussle
for supremacy. Matchless he likes well,
but it is a slow opener in winter. He
still finds Beacon the best scarlet, hav-
ing discarded Champion. He has sev-
eral plants of a pure white Benora
which should prove a winner. Good
Cheer, among the new varieties, is well
liked; also, a white seedling of A.
Roper’s. His chrysanthemums are
practically all cut now.

The W. W. Edgar Co. sold a large
number of azaleas, poinsettias, cycla-
mens and (Lorraines for Thanksgiving
day. They have quantities of Mme.
Petrick azaleas in bloom and also some
nice Verveneana. All their Christmas
plants are looking extra well. This
week their stock of giganteum lilies
will be potted up.

Mrs. HE. K. Farr, of Stoneham, is
sending in an extra fine grade of carna-
tions, the flowers being far superior
to the general average seen here. Fenn,
Benora, Yellow Prince, Ward, Match-
less, Beacon and White Wonder are the
leaders. Spencer sweet peas also are
grown, for a late winter and spring

The Boston Cut Flower Co. reports
good Thanksgiving business, with a
good clean-up in nearly every line.

R. E. Wadsworth & Co. are unusually
successful carnation growers. Some of
their favorite sorts are: Pink Delight,
White Wonder, Matchless, Gorgeous,
Benora and Beacon. They still have a

The convention of the National As-
sociation of Gardeners, in Boston, De-
cember 9 and 10, is the leading coming
event of local horticultural interest.
The ‘‘horticultural interests of Bos-
ton’’ have appointed a committee con-
sisting of J. K. M. L. Farquhar, Thomas
Roland and J. B. Shea to codperate
with the committee appointed by the
Gardeners’ and Florists’ Club to care
for visiting members. Plans are under
way for a sight- seeing trip to points of
horticultural interest on the second day.

The Sutermeister Estate, of Read-
ville, is cutting fine crops of stevia and
Paper White narcissi. Their Freesia
Purity is already well budded and they
will have a large batch in flower for
Christmas.

J. Leach & Son, of North Easton, are
cutting a splendid lot of their new
carnation, Pink Supreme. They also
have their usual fine lot of lily of the
valley.

J. W. Foote, of Reading, has the
market largely to himself here with
Bouvardia Humboldtii, which always
meets with a quick sale. His carna-
tions look remarkably well. His fa-
vorites are Beacon, Pink Delight, White
Wonder and Benora. He is marketing
some good solanums and well flowered
geraniums.

nations never looked better, but are
not at present in heavy crop.

Owing to Thanksgiving day falling
on the regular Florists’ League bowl-
ing day, there were no contests last
week. Competitions will be renewed
December 2.

Thomas Capers, of Wellesley Hills,
has some splendid mignonette, the best
I have seen this season. He likes Car-
nation Alice particularly well, while
in the older sorts he finds Beacon, Pink
Delight, White Wonder and White En-
chantress reliable.

Thanksgiving business at Penn’s
was heavy. Enormous quantities of
chrysanthemums, roses, violets and val-
ley were sold. Work is being pushed
ahead on the new store at 124 Tremont
street, which will be in active opera-
tion before Christmas.

J. W. Simpson is already getting a
fine pick of English primroses and sin-
gle and double violets. He still finds
White Lawson a profitable carnation
for retail trade. Other varieties grown
are White Wonder, White Enchantress,
Beacon and Pink Delight.

Paul F. Brigham, of Westboro, has
Pink Delight with wonderful stems and
flowers for so early in the season. He
likes Eureka, which he finds a satisfac-
tory scarlet. Matchless, Beacon and
White Wonder are other favorites.

H. J. Borowski & Sons, of Roslindale,
recently acquired an additional piece
of land adjoining their greenhouses and
have started work on a Moninger all-
steel house 40x150; also, a steel-frame
service building thirty feet square. The
whole will be completed by January
15. _The stock of cyclamens, azaleas
and Cincinnati begonias’is in fine con-
dition; no better plants are to be found
in this section.

Thomas Roland says there is a won-
derful improvement in the call for flow-
ering plants compared with a year ago,
and salable stock moves as fast as it is
ready. He will have one of his big rose
houses at Revere in full crop about the
middle of January. Another house of
sweet peas will start flowering about
the middle of December.

November has quite belied its repu-
tation here. The skies have been clear
nearly the whole month. We have had
far less rain and fog than the average
and the month has been a remarkably
open one. It is unusual to see gera-
niums and other tender plants blooming
outdoors at Thanksgiving, as they were
this season. W.N. Cz

PLANT BASKETS

Our Plant Baskets have been so well received
that they are now a very important feature of
our Christmas business, Last year we offered
only one style in three sizes. This year we have
about twenty-five different numbers. All are
first-class, both as to style of basket and filling.
Nothing but highly-colored, well-grown stock is
used, such as Dracaenas in variety, Crotons, Pan-
danus, Ferns, etc. On account of being filled
early and becoming established, they are bound
to give you and your customer satisfaction. We
cannot recommend them too highly. Many of
the baskets and window boxes are in two-tone
effect. All baskets have zinc (not tin) liners.

Window box shape, 18 inches long, 6 inches
wide, 6 inches deep, $3.50 and $4.00 each.

Window box shape, 12 inches long, 6 inches
wide, 6 inches deep, $2.50 and $2.75 each.

Handle baskets in variety, $3.50, $4.00, $5.00
and $6.00 each.

CYCLAMEN (30,000)

This has been one of our specialties for over
twenty years. This year we grew upwards of
125,000 plants. At this time our stock is bet-
ter than ever before and sure to be a money-
maker for any one buying now. Plants in all
sizes, exceptionally well flowered.

color is a little lighter than the original Bego-
nia Gloire de Lorraine.

The Croton, with its highly colored foliage, is
indispensable during fall and winter. We have

tons in the world, carrying at the present time

400 varieties, all of the very highest quality
and brilliantly colored.

Every retail store and grower should feature
Crotons this fall and winter. We know our stock
will please you and your customers.

NEW SEEDLING VARIETIES

Our new Seedling Crotons, some of which we
disseminated in June, 1911, are varieties that
should be in every grower’s and private person’s
collection. They are far superior to many of
the older varieties of Crotons and the types
range from narrow to very large leaf. We par-
ticularly call your attention to our set of thir-
teen, named after the ‘‘Thirteen Original
States,’’ which have won highest honors wher-
ever shown.

4-inch pots, strong plants, $3.00 each; $30.00
per doz.; $200.00 r 100

6-inch and 7-ine
$4.00 and $5.00 each.

CROTON LEAVES AND SPRAYS

Cut Croton leaves and sprays have been sup-
plied by us in the past few years to some of
the leading retail florists, who have featured
them in mantel, table and funeral work. They
are also especially attractive to use with Chrys-
anthemums. Cut Crotons will last in a cool
place from three to four weeks. We can supply
them every day in the year.

Very highly colored sprays at 25c, 35c and 50c.

Cut leaves, $3.00 and $5.00 per 100.

When you have orders for funeral or table
work out of the ordinary, order ‘‘Craig’s Cut

Crotons.’’
DRACAENAS

There is no Variety of foliage plants as attrac-
tive as the highly-colored Dracaena. The small
and medium sizes can be used to great advantage
in making up the popular Christmas baskets,
while the large specimens have always been in
great demand for decorative purposes. We are
now growing more Dracaenas, in greater variety,
than any firm in this country.

NEPHROLEPIS JOHN WANAMAKER

the variety and repeat orders have been coming
in daily. We have a very large stock. A
‘“‘sport’’ from Nephrolepis Scholzeli, with longer,
narrower, gracefully drooping fronds. It is not
so compact in growth as Scholzeli and therefore

house fern. It is a rapid grower, making an
abundance of fronds, and is quite distinct from
any other Nephrolepis. The following prices are

As a result of the Dutch embargo on
spinach seed, the price already has
reached 25 cents per pound.

THE death of Otto Stumpp, of West
Hoboken, N. J., is reported in the obit-
uary column this week.

JosEPH W. EDMUNDSON, manager of
the California Seed Growers’ Association,
left Chicago Thanksgiving night for the
east.

Beet is one of the items that the cata-
logue man may well think about. There
are offers of stock that look tempting,
but the non-warranty applies, strictly.

THE people who have been cherishing
last year’s valley pips as with the idea
they might never get any more are be-
ginning to indicate a willingness to let
go.

THE market for bouquet green firmed
up at Chicago at the opening of this
week, due to wintry conditions. Some
suppliers of bulk green are reported to
have withdrawn all offers.

THE acreage of onion in the Santa
Clara and San Juan valleys of California
will be increased this season, bulbs being
shipped in from the northwest and from
Colorado for the purpose.

Tue letters from European growers
indicate rather more than the normal
eagerness to book contract orders for
seeds of 1916 crop. There seems to be
no fear, either of labor shortage or in-
terruption of business.

THE death of W. Atlee Burpee, al-
though his illness was of many weeks’
duration, has come as a shock to the
trade, for he was probably as widely
known as any man in the business. An
account of his life and a group picture
of the Burpee family appear in the
obituary column of this issue.

THE cool weather of the last two weeks
has been favorable for onion sets, but the
shrinkage in the warehouses will be
heavy, owing to the wet weather that
prevailed during the harvest time. They
are not keeping well. It will be necessary
to hand-pick them and throw out a
large per cent of them before shipping.
Present indications are that there will
be a fifty per cent loss by January 1 in
white onion sets.

THE European seeds have come to hand
in a way that has been a pleasant sur-
prise. Orders from Holland, England,
even France, have been filled, if any-
thing, more promptly than usual and
important quantities of German seeds
have arrived via a neutral port. While
certain items have for a time been put
under embargo and are not permitted
to be exported, the situation has worked

out better than most seedsmen thought
possible.

THoMAS CHISHOLM, of the Braslan
Seed Growers’ Co., left Los Angeles
Thanksgiving day for his annual winter
trip east.

JoHN F. Geary, who has charge of
the pea and bean growing station of the
Leonard Seed Co., Chicago, at Colum-
bus, Wis., was in Chicago a few days
last week.

Says W. E. Haile, Monticello, Fla.:
‘We have had lots of inquiries from our
little ad in The Review and have ‘en-
tirely sold out our surplus stocks of
both watermelon and okra seeds.’’

In an English trade paper we read
Holland correspondence to the effect that
‘‘bulb growers are at their busiest plant-
ing their stocks and many millions of
bulbs are again being entrusted to mother
earth for propagation. Nevertheless, from
the present outlook it may safely be pre-
dicted that considerably less will be
planted out compared with last year, as
the results of this year’s trading are dis-
astrous, owing to the prevailing low
prices, which are in nearly all cases less
than the cost of production. Besides this,
the cost of labor has been going up ow-
ing to the higher cost of living, and this
of course cuts both ways.’’ This seems
scarcely to accord with the situation as
understood in this country, where the de-
mand for bulbs has cleaned up the heavi-
est imports ever recorded, prices paid
having been about the same as those of
other years. Except for his European
trade the Hollander has no reason to com-
plain.

The directors were reélected except
that Howard M. Earl was elected to
the vacancy caused by the death of
W. Atlee Burpee. . Resolutions of re-
gret and sympathy on the death of
Mr. Burpee were adopted and spread in
the minutes.

and C. M. Wolf & Co., of Washington,
are all sanguine regarding future seed
business.

B. Sweeney, one of the largest mar-
ket gardeners in the District of Colum-
bia, estimates that there are 250 truck
farms in his vicinity producing stock
for home and foreign markets. Many
of these gardens soon will be absorbed
by the city of Washington.

T. W. Wood & Sons, of Richmond,
Va., are preparing for a banner seed
season. The problem of getting stocks
that are held in Holland, such as
spinach, for instance, is keeping the
dealers guessing.

The Alexander Seed Co., of Augusta,
Ga., has secured a farm which will be
used chiefly for trial purposes. Man-
ager C. E. Brush commented that
‘“demonstrations are the order of the
day.’’

SARAH BERNHARDT’S LEGS

O

They say Sarah Bern-
hardt has 26 legs—25 of
which are cork, 24 of them
of foreign make and one
American manufacture. And
she likes the American leg
best. Of course, 26 legs are
not many compared with the
number she has pulled in the
good old U.S. A. during her
last fifteen farewell tours,
but still the number is un-
usual. The reason we men-
tion this is because the sub-
ject is more attractive to the
average reader than is
Ward’s bulbs; and as the
first duty of an ad is to get
attention, we must begin
with something that will be
most apt to get.your atten-
tion. So now we want to
tell you that-if you grow lily
bulbs it is best to get Ward’s
bulbs. They are grown by
experienced lily growers in
a way to insure the greatest
efficiency for the commercial
florist. You can make more
money with them than with
any other brand. If you
need some for Easter flower-
ing we offer a few cases of
Formosum of desirable size,
which, if planted soon,
should flower well for Eas-
ter. Prices for Lily Bulbs

CUCUMBERS WITH TOMATOES.

Will cucumbers and tomatoes do well
under the same conditions? What night
temperature should they have?

‘L. A, W.—Mo.

The same house will grow both cu-
cumbers and tomatoes, but if you want
the best results stick to one or the
other. Cucumbers want a warm, close,
moist atmosphere, with a winter min-
imum of 65 degrees. Tomatoes, on the
other hand, need a dry, buoyant. atmos-
phere and 60 degrees as the lowest tem-
perature, although they can be grown
five degrees cooler. Tomatoes also set
better in winter with a limited root
run. Cucumbers require’ syringing,
while no water should ever be sprayed
on tomatoes. C.. W.

WINTER STRAWBERRIES.

Enclosed you will find some sample
strawberry plants, with which I have
a large space planted. Is there any
chance of getting a winter crop frow
such plants as these? If not, would it
be too late to plant potted ones for a
winter crop? L. A. W.—Mo.

If your strawberry plants average no
better in quality than the sample for-
warded, I am afraid your winter crop
will be a small one. The season is now
‘ so far advanced that plants from pots
would have no time to develop sizable
crowns before cold weather. It would
be better now to wait until spring be-
fore doing any planting. You would
then be sure to have strong plants,
which would yield a good crop the fol-
lowing winter. For forcing purposes,
strawberries must be thoroughly estab-
lished in their pots, which should be six
or seven inches in diameter, and they
should be.kept outdoors as late as pos-
‘sible without running any risk of frost
breaking the pots. Cc. W.

CAPA SAS:

WEST INVADING THE EAST.

Californians, always noted for the
modesty with which they view and
point out the progress of their state,
are in reality delighted with the prog-
ress they are making in the florists’
businéss, especially in the matter of
shipping flowers east. As yet this busi-
ness is in only a few hands, as there
are not many places large enough to
supply stock regularly in quantity and
the commission man is only beginning
to be a factor. But it has been proved
that flowers from the coast cities can
be shipped long distances as an every-
day business proposition and plans al-
ready are on foot for the inevitable in-
crease in the supply.

In recent issues of The Review there
has been frequent comment on the pres-
ence of California flowers as a factor
in the markets of other cities. It was
noted that Los Angeles greens were re-
ceived in Rochester; that many Los
Angeles mums were used in New Or-
leans at All Saints’ day, where for-
merly Chicago supplied all the stock
not grown locally. In the Minneapolis
notes it has been said that San Fran-
ciseo violets have relieved a local short-
age and Mrs. R. E. Darbee, of San
Francisco, reports that she has been
shipping mums regularly to florists as
far east as Des Moines. It was Mrs.
Darbee who sent two big boxes of
mums, ten dozens of them, from San
Francisco to President Wilson, at
Washington. The flowers reached the
White House on the afternoon of the
fifth day and were refused because of
the lateness of the hour, whereupon
they were taken to the store of Gude
Bros. Co., and opened but not un-
packed. As the stock was in good
condition, the boxes were stored in
the cold room till morning, when they
were delivered. Mrs. Darbee now
prizes a nice little note of thanks from
the White House.

One of the aids in building up the
shipping trade out of the coast cities
has been the interest of the express
companies, which have established a
number of refrigerator car routes for
handling perishable articles.

The Market.

Thanksgiving cleaned up quite a lot
of stock and retailers report better
business than usual for that holiday.
The weather has been so perfect for
outdoor sports, motoring, etc., that
probably decorations were less numer-
ous than usual. More plants than
usual were sold.

A shortage of azaleas for Christmas
is likely, the plants having arrived late
and in some cases in smaller quantities
than ordered. A number of plants were
held over from last season, it is true,
but these do not, as a rule, flower regu-
larly all over and are often poor or de-
ficient in foliage. This season, with a
possible shortage in view, growers have
taken a little better care of their
plants, so possibly there will be some
of them in fair condition. Begonias

are plentiful, the Lorraine type being
helped out by Chatelaine, a variety
likely to become popular here. Cyela- |
mens will be good; are good now, in®
fact, and will be far better by
Christmas.

Cut flowers are fine, especially in-
door’ roses, and unless the nights be-
come colder, a considerable cut of out-
door roses is likely. .Last week I no-
ticed some fine pots of Frau Karl
Druschki, from outside, which were as
good as those usually seen in May.
Red. carnations are on the scarce side
of the market, but pinks are plentiful.
The supply of valley is uncertain and
the quality is not of the best. Orchids
are plentiful, but the demand for them

is better.
Various Notes.

There was a large attendance at the
meeting of the Pasadena Horticultural
Association, November 19, when various
matters connected with the recent
flower show were taken up. The show,
as already reported, was a success in
every way and the only regret was
that the tents were not twice the size
they were. After the usual meeting,
there was a meeting of the stockholders
of the Pacific Garden to consider in-
formally what was best to be done in
regard to the resignation of P. D.
Barnhart as editor and manager of the
paper.

T. Chisholm, well-known representa-
tive of the Braslan Seed Growers’ Co.,
of San Jose, and Mrs. Chisholm were
in town for a few hours November 20,
Mr. Chisholm leaving next morning on
an eastern trip. rs. Chisholm will
stay in Los Angeles for a time, visit-
ing friends. Mr. Chisholm reports busi-
ness good and it is pleasant to find a
man so optimistic as he is, notwith-

standing the mildew and pest troubles
seed growers in the San Jose district
have encountered. Probably this cheer-
ful manner has had a lot to do with
his success. Mr. Chisholm’s father is
our old friend, T. Chisholm, of: Pasa-
dena, so long identified with everything
making for the good of the nursery and
seed business. The younger Tom had
a good’ grounding with his father, with
the Germain Seed & Plant Co., and
with other local concerns before taking
the flights that have béen so eminently
successful.

Robert Murdoch, son of Duncan
Murdoch, well known landscape gar-
dener, recently was cut about the face
and his knee hurt in a taxicab accident.

Tom Wright, of Wright’s Flower
Shop, says that many orders for wed-
ding bouquets are being received, but
that the decorations for weddings are
not so elaborate and costly as usual.
His is about the only local concern
growing Beauties in any quantity.

SEATTLE, WASH.

The Market.

There was more than the usual stir
in business previous to Thanksgiving
day and the buyers for the stores in
some cases had their troubles in procur-
ing stock in anticipation of that event.
The chrysanthemums are now mostly of
local origin and some good flowers are
coming in, while second-grade stock is
as plentiful as usual. The sale of the
best grades improves and will reach its
maximum this week. The best carna-
tions are in demand and wholesalers
have raised the prices accordingly, but
even now the flowers are not bringing
their usual winter prices. There is
more than the usual variety in carna-
tions this year, as most of the growers
have added new kinds, but this does
not appear to add to their merits as
sellers. Roses are not any too plentiful
and the demand is good. Chrysanthe-
mum plants, of which there is a fair
supply, are selling well and some of
the single varieties are moving with
unusual rapidity. Cyclamens and obco-
nicas are the other pot plants offered,
and of these there is a good supply.

SAN FRANCISCO.

_ The Market.

Apparently, the Thanksgiving retail
trade ran far ahead of that of last year.
Several of the leading retailers so re-
ported and others were too busy to be
approached. The stores were piled up
with outgoing packages, including a
good proportion of fine stock. Flowers
were in sufficient, but far from exces-

sive supply. Many growers had held

back stock for the occasion, but even
then all offerings cleaned up readily at
fair prices. As Thanksgiving wholesale
shipments were finished several days be-
fore, that department had a little lull.
Mums continue to be the principal fea-
ture, but it is said there will be no
more heavy offerings. Nonins were
fine; there was a fair amount of good
Appletons; Bonnaffons were abundant
and well up to standard. There also
were some good red, pink, and bronze
varieties, all of which found a strong
demand. Pompons moved in large
quantities. Carnation offerings were
the largest and best of the sea’on, and
the price of medium-grade stock was
boosted, but practically everything
moved early. Violets have been a little
short-stemmed, but otherwise are fine,
and the market is in good shape both
here and for shipment. Roses are bet-
ter, most lines bringing satisfactory
prices. More baby roses and Beauties
could be used, but both show good qual-
ity. The movement of orchids is un-
usually heavy, including many kinds,
and gardenias have been a bigger item
this year. There is no shortage of val-
ley and more Easter lilies are selling
than for some time. Flowering plants
have been fairly plentiful and have
found a heavy demand. Many small
local poinsettias came in and a lot of
the large cut flowers came from San
Diego, being a prominent feature in the
downtown stores. Cyclamens, both
plants and cut flowers, have done well.
A few azaleas came in last week.
There were nice primulas and Lorraine
begonias to be had. Heather is fairly
plentiful and quite a bit of it is cut.
California holly is not so prominent
as last year, supplies being within mod-
eration. No English holly has appeared
so far. Greens sell heavily; smilax,
plumosus and Sprengeri are all promi-
nent.
Various Notes.

William 8. McLellan, a brother of
E. W. McLellan, of the E. W. McLellan
Co., was stabbed to death November 19

L. Piccetti, manager of Charles
Navlet’s branch in the Emporium, has
had a large display in the front win-
dows of the department store lately
and, as a result, notes a marked gain
in both flower and nursery departments.
He got in quite a nice lot of poingettias
for Thanksgiving, as well as some fine
cyclamens, and both cleaned up well.

C. Kooyman is now getting in a nice
cut of roses from his own place, includ-
ing some good Richmond, Killarney and
a few Beauties. He expects to have a
fine cut of the latter for Christmas.

PORTLAND, ORE.

The Market.

In spite of the inclement weather
which prevailed all of last week, the
Thanksgiving business proved quite
satisfactory. Wholesale growers moved
all of their cut stock and had to re-
fuse several orders from interior points
for carnations and mums. None of the
stores increased the prices on high-class
stock, as they usually do, and the pub-
lie showed its appreciation by taking
everything offered except a few orchids,
yellow button mums and California-
grown violets.

The best grades of mums sold from
fifteen to twenty-five per cent cheaper
than usual at Thanksgiving, and, while
more flowers were moved, the amount
taken in was but little greater than
last year. The bulk of the business
was in small lots, single dozens or
broken dozens. The sales for cemetery
decorations were few. Potted stock did
not sell well. Arranged baskets made
to cost more than $1 moved slowly.
Pompon mums were the best sellers,
with Mrs. Frank Beu as the leader.
The call for ferns and foliage plants
was light. Several stores showed tempt-
ing baskets of fruit in their window
displays. But little outdoor work was
done, on account of the heavy rains.

Forty-first annual meeting, Milwaukee, Wis.,
June 28 to 30, 1916, |

THE death of R. F. Mann, salesman for
the Georgia Nursery Co., is reported in
this week’s obituary column.

THE cost of imported stock is being
materially increased this season by ad-
vances in freight and insurance.

THE Iowa Railroad and Warehouse
Commission has ordered a change in the
ratings on nursery stock to make the
Iowa Classification correspond with the
Western Classification.

TAKING time by the forelock, the Hotel
Wisconsin has been selectéd as_head-
quarters for the forty-first annual con-
vention of the American Association of
Nurserymen, to be held at Milwaukee
; June 28 to 30, 1916.

DISCUSSION indicates that in the Brit-
ish Isles Sanders’ White is considered
the best white rambler rose now in com-
merce; finest flower, most fragrant and
almost immune from mildew. It is listed
in only a few catalogues, but eventual
wide popularity is predicted.

THE Western New York Horticultural
Society will hold its sixty-first annual
meeting at Rochester January 26 to 28.
Many nurserymen will attend. William
C. Barry has been president of the or-
ganization for many yearg and its sec-
retary is John Hall, who also is secretary
of the A. A. N.

NURSERYMAN WINS LIEN.

Under a decision lately handed down
by the District Court of Appeal of Cali-
fornia, when a nurseryman contributes
to permanent improvement of real es-
tate in a city or town by furnishing
seeds, trees or shrubs, he is entitled
to a mechanic’s lien. This holding,
which was announced in the case of
Grom vs. Center, 146 Pacific Reporter
186, depends upon the clause of the
California lien law which gives a lien
to any person who, at the request of
the reputed owner of a lot, improves
the same, to secure payment for work
done or materials furnished. Since the
decision turns on the question of
whether the furnishing or planting of
seeds, trees, shrubs, etc., constitutes an
‘‘improvement,’’ the opinion will prove
to be an important precedent in other
states in which the right to a mechan-
ie’s lien is based on the making of im-
provements, without restriction as to
buildings.

In this case, plaintiff sued to enforce
a lien for planting a vineyard, and the
Superior Court at Napa decided that
the lien law was not broad enough to
entitle him to that security, but the

District Court of Appeals reversed the
judgment. It appears that the parties
agreed that plaintiff should plant the
vineyard at a price of 2 cents per vine,
he not furnishing the vines. After re-
ferring to the fact that no case just
like this one had been found in the
appellate courts of the country, the
Court of Appeals refers to the following
judicial precedents as bearing on the
question:

In the case of California Portland
Cement Co. vs. Wentworth Hotel Co.,
108 Pacific Reporter 103, it was held
by another branch of the District Court
of Appeals that a lien was properly
allowed for the furnishing of trees,
shrubs, plants, flowers, seeds, bulbs, etc.,
for a hotel lot in Pasadena; the court
saying:

‘The furnishing and planting of
seeds, trees and shrubs, and the caring
for same for such period of time as
would insure that the seeds had become
well started and that the plants and
trees were thoroughly settled in the
ground, would seem to be an improve-
ment to the real estate, which was

INNER of the ns Medal at the last exhibition of the
American Carnation Society, Buffalo, N. Y., January
27th and 28th; First Prize at the [Illinois State Fair, at
Springfield, Ill., September 22d and 23rd. It has never been
beaten at any exhibition. The color is a most brilliant red. The size
of the flower is 34% to 4 inches. Stems 24 to 36 inches long, strong
and stiff. We have never had a burst calyx, all flowers grading firsts;
and, best of all, it is a constant bloomer, giving a steady run of flowers
equal in number to the Enchantress family. It has a very spicy odor,
much greater than the average Carnation. It comes in full flower by the 1st
of December and then continues steadily through the balance of the season.
The present sharp competition in business requires the grower to
plant a variety that always produces high-grade flowers, never bursts
the calyx, has strong, long stems, is a steady and continuous bloomer, no
cropper. The color is the most brilliant red of any Carnation now in mar- |
ket. We have grown this variety for five years, it being one of our own
seedlings, and we now have 30,000 plants benched in our greenhouses at
Greggs, of which 12,000 are for the cut flowers and 18,000 devoted to
rooted cuttings. We will have 100,000 strong, well rooted cuttings, guar-
anteed all first-class, ready for delivery during December. ‘The price of
the rooted cuttings will be $12.00 per 100, $100.00 per 1000.

The Market.

Most of the Newark florists had an
entirely satisfactory Thanksgiving
business. There was a large sale of
flowers and plants, both for home affairs
and for social events. The sale of
chrysanthemums was so great that it
nearly cleaned many of the stores of
their .supply. In addition to the
Thanksgiving day demand for flowers,
there was a good call for funeral deco-
rations. The chrysanthemums were of
fine quality last week, as were most of
the other flowers. Sweet peas are not
plentiful as yet. Violets also are
scarce. Roses are of good quality and
of medium price. Carnations are plen-
tiful and of excellent quality. There
is a large sale of chrysanthemums in
pots. Pompons are plentiful. A few

rdenias are in the market. Laster’
ilies are arriving in fair quantities and
some callas are seen. Orchids are still
high-priced. Primroses in pots sell
fairly well. Cyclamens are becoming
more abundant. Valley is quite reason-
able in price for this time of year, and
of good quality. The general condition
of trade is excellent, being on the gain
all the time. Local florists look for
good business during the season of

1915-16.

The Thanksgiving window of Henry
Leahy, in Elizabeth, was an unusually
attractive one. By the use of green-
ish oil paper, such as is used to wrap
flowers, the floor of the window was
made to represent the sea. A large
ship, about four feet long and with
masts three feet or more high, was
‘‘sailing’’ in this sea, The hull was

painting representing a dock, which
gave the ship the appearance of just
having left the dock for its trip to
sea. At the sides and the back, with
the exception of the space occupied by
the dock, were banked large jars of
chrysanthemums, outlining the sea-
shore. On a card hung from the bow
of the boat were these words: ‘‘Thanks-

The Market.

Business was good last week, there
being much funeral work and many
orders for decorations. Thanksgiving
business was good, but it would have
been at least ten per cent better had
it not been for the rain at noon.on that
day. However, the general report was
that Thanksgiving trade was as good
as, or a little better than, that of last
year. The demand for pot plants was
about the same as that of a year ago.
Fancy mums were scarce for Thanks-
giving; in fact, they were more scarce
than in former years. This was due to
the warm weather, which brought the
mums in a week before their time.
Good mums of medium size also were
scarce. The mum season is about over,
the Fricks and a few other late varie-
ties being the only ones left in the
greenhouses in this vicinity.

Roses are especially good, but there
are not enough of them to meet the
demand. Beauties were scarce, a direct
result, no doubt, of the shortage of
other red roses and good mums. Car-
nations were not so plentiful last week,
being cleaned up at all times. Violets,
sweet peas, lilies and Paper Whites
meet a ready sale at a fair price.
Green goods were somewhat scarce
during the week. Christmas greens
have arrived.

Various Notes.
Samuel Murray had one of the larg-
est decorations of the season on

Thanksgiving day, when he used more
than 1,200 cut mums for the Smith ball.

Arthur Newell says that Thanks-

of last year and that the demand for
pot plants for that day was beyond his
expectations.

W. J. Barnes had an unusual run in
basket work for Thanksgiving. Fu-

August Luther, Jr., has a fine lot of
cyclamens and Lorraine begonias. He

The Market.

Thanksgiving week, as usual, wit-
nessed the zenith of the chrysanthe-
mum season. There was an ample sup-
ly and some grand blooms were seen.

ith the exception of choicest stock,
mums brought up to $4 per dozen at
Wholesale. Thousands of blooms retail-
ing at 10 cents each commanded ready
sale. Carnations were in better quality
aud quantity than is generally the case
t Thanksgiving, while roses showed
some improvement over the previous
week. Orchids, bouvardia and valley
came in for generous call, while the
first sweet peas, cut by Albert Holscher,
went with a rush at big prices. As a
rule everybody cleaned up before noon
on the holiday and the trade for the
remainder of the week was sufficient
to hold supplies in check.

oleae attended the recent annual meet-

ng of the New England Park Superin-
tendents’ Association at Lynn, Mass.

A new white, pink-tinged chrysan-
themum of the exhibition type, large
and fluffy, originated by Charles H.
Totty, of Madison, N. J., has been

wife of the Westerly florist.

One man was killed and another in-
jured when a horse attached to a wagon
loaded with tree-trimming apparatus,
owned by George Johnson & Son, of the
Elmwood Nurseries, became unmanage-
able a few days ago and ran away.
John Sharkey died instantly from a
fractured skull, when thrown from the
wagon, while his companion, John J.
Brophy, had three ribs broken. Two
other men who were in the wagon es-
caped injury by jumping. All four men
were employed by Mr. Johnson.

The W. R. Barrett Co., following a
custom of several years, supplied its
employees with turkeys for Thanks-
giving.

Bros. was badly damaged a few days

SPRINGFIELD, MO.

The Market.

The weather is still fine, although one
rainy day, with some snow, made it
look as though winter were here in ear-
nest; but the next day the sun came
out, and it is Indian summer again, The
rain of November 25 put a stop to
single mum sales. Up to that time this
line. was brisk. The rain started late
in the forenoon, and the football game
that all look forward to was a disap-
pointment as far as goes the sale of
mums, However, other flowers brought
good prices. Fancy mums sold for $4
per dozen, but most buyers wanted a
$3 grade. The call for carnations was
surprising. Roses, sweet peas and vio-
lets: also had a good demand. Some
mums are on hand.

Various Notes.

Florists had a chance to try out co-
operative delivery service for the first
time during the Thanksgiving rush.
This service is new here, but it worked
well. Fine covered trucks are used.
The business was handled in great

shape. This is a big help to the flo- —

rist. The charge is small.

The Summerfield Floral Co. reports a
fine Thanksgiving business, with sev-
eral large funeral orders the day fol-
lowing. Among the orders was a
casket blanket of roses and chrysan-
themums. . 1

The Springfield Seed Co. reports a
big holiday business. It kept the co-
operative delivery service busy up to
about noon that day. It also had large
funeral orders.

The J. W. Stokes Floral Co. had a good
business Thanksgiving. It had large
orders for the football game, but the
rain kept the crowd away, so that sev-
eral orders were canceled. This com-
pany reports a good business at its
branch store. ;

Rauch Bros. report a fine business for
Thanksgiving. George Rauch, of
Monett, was called in to help in the
rush.

E. C. Pruner, of Poehlmann Bros. Co.,
Chicago, reports having booked several
nice orders here for cyclamens and other
plants.

WACO, TEX.

In the trade’s display contest given
by the Young Men’s Business League at
the Cotton Palace in November, Wolfe
the Florist was accorded first prize for
a unique entry consisting of an urn-
shaped basket, which was about ‘hve
feet high and mounted on ball-bearing
rollers so that it could be easily pushed
about the hall. The basket and base
were elaborately decorated with ferns,
Easter lilies, valley and Cecile Brunner
roses. At the start it appeared as if
the large basket was empty, but when
the massive decoration reached the cen-
ter of the hall, up popped Mr. Wolfe’s
charming little niece, Miss Hannah
Brigance, like a jack-in-the-box, so to
speak. The crowd was taken by sur-
prise and applauded vociferously. Lit-
tle Miss Brigance made such a pretty
picture in her little bower that the
qudges couldn’t help but give Mr.

olfe the first prize, which was $25 in

old. In the Women’s day parade, Mr.
olfe’s two sons, Thomas; and George,
won first prize for a decorated float, on
which was mounted a facsimile of the
Liberty Bell, artistically decorated. Fol-
lowing in father’s footsteps, as it were.

FPARMINGTON, UTAH.
The Market.

. The large call for cut flowers during
Thanksgiving has quieted down. The
demand this season was unexpectedly
heavy; ever
flower craze.) The growers are glad
that Thanksgiving day has come and
one. It is a big worry off their minds,
or who should get the stock they
cut, and in what proportion? The or-
ders were placed conditionally; that is,
the retailer would place an order with
the wholesaler, the wholesaler taking
the order on. the condition that he
would fill it as nearly as possible.

The cut of roses was good, but the
demand was so extremely large that
there were not enough of them to go
around. Until the day before Thanks-
giving, the weather conditions were en-
tirely in the growers’ favor. The day
preceding Thanksgiving was stormy,
but the following day was clear. The
Shawyer, Helen Taft, Hadley and
Ophelia roses were advanced in price
to 5, 8 and 10 cents each, while the
Killarneys, Richmond and Hillingdon
sold for 4, 6 and 8 cents. The Amer-
ican Beauty roses sold at 60 cents to
$4 per dozen, but not enough of them
could be obtained.

Carnations were scarce and nothing
more than standing orders could be
filled. They were sold at 2, 3 and 4
cents each. The local growers could
not begin to satisfy the demand for
chrysanthemums. Large shipments
were brought in from the Pacific coast,
which continues to deminate the mar-
ket. Violets were plentiful and sold as
low as 15 cents per bunch. Rubrums are
practically out of the market. Easter
Jilies and Paper Whites are used exten-
sively for funeral work, which has been
heavy. Plants sell well, especially pot-
ted chrysanthemums, cyclamens, Cincin-
nati and Chatelaine begonias and Bos-
ton and Whitmani ferns.

Various Notes.

Miss Clara Henderson is manager of
the flower department of the Willis-
Horne Drug Co., at 8 South Main street.
Miss Henderson had a large Thanks-
giving trade.

The Miller Floral Co. reports a gen-
eral shortage of stock during Thanks-
giving. The outlook for the holidays is
exceptionally bright. Receipts for
Thanksgiving greatly surpassed those
of any previous year.

Charles Soter had a fine window dis-
play of chrysanthemums. He reports a
satisfactory Thanksgiving business.

The B. C. Morris Floral Co. reports
an exceptionally good business during
Thanksgiving.

The Market.

Ideal weather characterized Thanks-
giving. Flowers were abundant and of
fine quality. Chrysanthemums were
most prominent and handsome speci-
mens of late varieties brought excellent
returns. The varieties most in demand
were Eaton, Golden Wedding, Bon-
naffon, Chadwick and Wells’ Late
Pink. Pompons in all colors and the
single chrysanthemums came in for
their share of holiday popularity. Roses
were in excellent demand, especially
Mrs. Charles Russell, Sunburst, Rich-
mond, Killarney and Aaron Ward for
corsages. The trade for corsages was
heavy.

Carnations had a good demand and
were fine. Valley and orchids were in
big demand for wedding bouquets, and
Beauties, Easter lilies and the small
flowers all met with a fine demand.

The business following Thanksgiving
has been good and stock normal.

Various Notes.

Markey Bros., of Washington boule-
vard, west, report a record sale of
blooming plants for Thanksgiving.
Their fine new delivery car came into
good use last week. They also have
purchased a new five-passenger tour-
ing car recently.

W. J. & M.S. Vesey featured some
charming corsage combinations of pink
begonia blossoms and valley for the
Shriners’ dance and other prominent
events. Miss Catherine Vesey was home
to spend the holidays with her father,
Judge W. J. Vesey.

Miss C. B. Flick has gone to Toledo,
to remain for some time with Miss
Helen Patten, of the Patten Flower
Shop.

The George W. Doswell Floral Co. had
an excellent trade at its two stores,
Chrysanthemums were in prime condi-
tion and sold well.

Knecht & Co. cut a fine lot of Major
Bonnaffon mums for their Thanksgiving
trade.

Edgar Wenninghoff had a pretty win-
dow display of chrysanthemums and
novel baskets of roses and pompon
chrysanthemums. R. F

Greenhouse Heating.

THE COAL MARKET.

The recent cool weather has supplied
the one missing factor that was neces-
sary to render the coal trade entirely
prosperous. The arrival of the desired
sort of -weather, coupled with the in-
creased activity in general business,
has so stimulated the coal market that
it is now, we are told, ‘‘in a much bet-
ter condition than it has been at any
time in several years.’’ ‘‘The situa-
tion,’’ says one .coal man, ‘‘is quite
encouraging when viewed from the oper-
ators’ standpoint, but quite the oppo-
site when viewed with the eyes of the
consumer. ’’

In the foregoing quotation the word
‘‘florist’’ might be substituted for
‘¢consumer,’’ were it not for the fact
that florists now seem to be specially
favored by some peculiar combination
of circumstances. For some weeks, while
almost every other kind of fuel has
been moving rapidly, the florists’ fa-
vorite, smokeless coal, has been an ex-
ception. Says a prominent coal journal:
‘‘The smokeless situation is none too
strong. The demand for mine-run has
been just about fair and some sales
agents have wished that the car supply
might be a little tighter. Even so, the
i on mine-run has held firm at $1.40.

ump and egg continue to be a trifle
easy, with $1.65 as a minimum, $1.75
as a common price, and $2.00 as a top
figure.’’

ONE ADDITIONAL GREENHOUSE.

I am building an addition, 20x100
and twelve feet high to the ridge. The
house runs east and west. There are
thirty inches of glass in the side walls
and glass in both ends. How many
lineal feet of 2-inch pipe will be needed
to heat this house to 60 degrees in zero
weather? H. E. A.—Pa.

To heat a house 20x100, with thirty
inches of glass in each wall, to 60 de-
grees in zero weather, using hot water,
I would put in three 24-inch overhead
flow pipes and twelve 2-inch returns.
Two of the flows should be placed on
the wall plates and should run with a
drop of about six inches to the farther
end of the house, where they should
each be connected with four returns
running back to the boiler, either on the
side walls or under the side benches.
The other flow pipe should be carried
to the end of the middle bench, about
three feet below the ridge, and there
connected with the other four returns,

A Heating Record at 52° Below Zero

Has the Kroeschell given entire satisfaction? Yes! Perfect. Our winter
temperature ranges as low as 45° below zero. Last winter we had six weeks of
steady cold. The maximum temperature at noon 12° below, the minimum tem-
perature at 4 2. m. 52% below zero. This was a god test of the heating capacity
of a Kroeschell. Pusiic Park Boarp, Winnipeg, Man.

READ WHAT THE USERS SAY:

The Kroeschell Is Better than Cast Iron

In 1911 I purchased a No. 1 Kroeschell Boiler for my uptown greenhouses. At
my other range we had a cast iron sectional boiler. In two y: ars we cracked two
sections. That experience was enough for me. This year I thought I would not
take any more chances, so we have just installed another No. 5 Kroeschell Boiler.
I believe if the Kroeschell Boilers were known to all, they would use no other.

If the flow pipes can be arranged so
that the highest point in each pipe will
be near the boiler, they should be con-
nected with a common pipe running to
the expansion tank, thus doing away
with any occasion for using air valves.

I have a small greenhouse, 12x24,
five feet high to the eaves and eight

SLUGGISH CIRCULATION.

I have just installed a new boiler, in
a shed at the west end of my_green-
house. It stands on a level with the
ground and there are two flow pipes
running from the boiler to the east end
of the greenhouse, one flow on each
side, on a line with the purlins. There

By simply turning the rod or han-

readily pass into the flue. Then by
turning the handle in an opposite

are four lines of pipe under the bench
on each side, running a distance of 106
feet from the east end to the boiler,
with a fall of one foot in that dis-
tance. The bottom of the expansion
tank is even with the top of the flow
pipes and connects downward with the
return.

For some reason, I get hardly any
circulation.’ I cannot put the expansion
tank any higher without putting it out-
side, above the roof of the shed. If I
enlarge the expansion tank, will that

answer the same purpose as raising it?
The piping throughout the system is 2-
inch. The smokestack-is eighteen feet
high and twelve inches’in diameter. I
shall appreciate any suggestions that
you can offer me in regard to any de-
fects in the arrangement of the piping.
I do not wish to put the boiler in a pit
if I can avoid doing so. A. G.—Okla.

The principal reason for the trouble
is because the return pipes are so near
the level of the bottom of the heating
surface of the boiler. Increasing the
size of the expansion tank will not im-
prove the circulation. Unless you can
drop the boiler at least two feet—and
four feet would be better; or, which
amounts to the same thing, unless you
can raise the return pipes, it will be
necessary to put on a mercury genera-
tor, or in some way place the system
under pressure.

When used as an open system it will
not be possible to obtain satisfactory
results with 2-inch flow pipes supply-
ing four returns of the same size, 106
feet in length, and they should be re-
placed with 24-inch pipe, unless a
closed system is used.

The Market.

Thanksgiving business was satisfac-
tory. There was plenty of stock dur-
ing the week, but the market was well
cleaned up. There was a slight short-
age in yellow mums, but the quanti-
ties of other stock easily offset this
shortage.

The last few days have seen quite a
change in the weather, which now is
decidedly colder. This change has had
a tendency to tighten the cut flower
market. Beauties are arriving in good
supply, but the prices on them are
tightening. Other roses are plentiful;
so.are carnations. The varieties of
mums are fewer and will not last much
longer. Sweet peas are becoming more
plentiful, but the demand for them is
light. Orchids, valley and violets have
been finding a good sale. Pot plants
have been having a good sale and the
market is well supplied in this line,
which, no doubt, will find a ready sale
later on.

Because of their proven scientifically perfect con-
struction, Siena geet Patented Boilers will heat a
given amount of water quicker, with less fuel and
less attention than any other boiler on the market.

The remarkable héating efficiency and quick
steaming qualities of these boilers are due to their
large and effective heating surface.

Just a few points of Metropolitan Patented Boiler
merit:—Smooth, perfect finished castings. Push nip-
ple connections. Large fire box, 9 piece) ample
combustion chamber, and permitting a sufficient
charge of fuel to require attention only at long inter-
vals. Deep ash pit, making the removal of ashes a
slight task. Large flues, making the boiler easy to
clean. Grates that are made for hard usage and long
service. And above all, they are Fuel Saving, not
Fuel Wasting.

We also make soft coal boilers which are smoke-
less, and save 50 per cent in coal.

PITTSBURGH.

The Market.

Thanksgiving trade was good, much
better than last year. There were plenty
of flowers, with many more chrysanthe-
mums than we have had so late in the
season for some years. Orchids were
not in evidence at all and it was hoped
violets would get the call instead, but
they were not helped much. There were
plenty of good roses and carnations to
supply all demands, except in white
roses, which are not usually so much in
demand at this season of the year, but
when they were not to be had everyone
wanted them.

The wholesale houses look bare this
week, as chrysanthemums are done and
there is nothing large to take their
place, except lilies, which will come
into their own again. Good sweet peas
would be quite acceptable, but there are
few coming in at present. Society do-
ings have taken a spurt and a number
of good-sized affairs have called for
special stock. The retail stores all
look busy, and, now that Thanksgiving
is past, one can see evidences of get-
ting ready for Christmas.

Various Notes.

George Marshall, of the McCallum
Co., is soon to become a benedict. He
has not made known the date, but he
has the girl and she has said ‘‘ Yes’’
and he is looking pleasant.

Fred Burki has been called to jury
duty, but will be through with it in
time to look after the-Christmas cut.

The Florists’ Club will meet Tuesday
evening, December 7, at the Fort Pitt
hotel. There will be reports from the
various flower shows by members who
attended them, and there will also be
exhibits of Christmas plants and deco-
rative materials. A splendid meeting
is assured.

Among the out-of-town people who:

have been here to look for Christmas
novelties were Mr. McGrath, of Fischer
& McGrath, New Castle, Pa. and
Thomas Fitzgerald, of Beaver, Pa.
While trade in nearly all lines is
booming in the lower Ohio valley, the
florists complain that they are not get-
ting their share. Some of the towns

say they are doing worse than a year
ago.

The Florists’ Review

DecemBerR 2, 1915.

SEDALIA, MO.

The Market.

Thanksgiving was well observed here
generally. Trade was much better than
usual for that holiday. Cool weather
has prolonged the mum crop and, from
the condition of them, may extend the
mums’ usefulness two or three weeks.

Funeral work has been heavy the
last month. Then, too, the long eve-
nings are giving society more time.
Consequently flowers are moving faster
than they mature.

Various Notes.

The Archias Floral Co. is having its
‘‘tropical séason.’’
fruiting. A member of the firm says
he may have to go to Chicago to sell

the crop. It is certainly a novelty for
Sedalia to have bananas producing
fruit.

Several florists recently went coon
and possum hunting. After the hunt,
which proved successful, luncheon was
served. The hunting was done from
automobiles.

Dr. J. E. Cannaday, of the State
Fair Floral Co., has returned from a
short stay in Kansas City.

Charles Pfeiffer had an automobile
accident recently. J. H. H.

“ OYSTER BAY, N. Y.

The monthly meeting of the Oyster
Bay Horticultural Society was held at
Fireman’s hall November 24. John
Sorosick reported that the mum show
was a success. John T. Ingram report-
ed that the lecture recently given by
Dr. Felt at the Oyster Bay high school
was well attended.

George Wilson, George Walker,
Charles Moulti, Charles Valentine,
Charles Young and. William Ritchie
were elected to active membership.

The exhibition tables were well filled
and prominent among the exhibits was
Mr. Robinson’s collection of vegetables,
of which there were twenty-nine vari-
eties. Judges Milburn, Gale and Hoth-
ersall reported as follows: Three heads
lettuce, Joseph Robinson, society’s
prize; fifty violets, Princess of Wales,
George Wilson, society’s prize; seedling
chrysanthemum, J. Bell, certificate of
merit; collection of vegetables, J. Rob-
inson, cultural certificate.

James Bell gave an interesting talk
on his new type of mum, to be known
as the cactus type. J. J. De Vyver
talked on hickory bark beetles.

Exhibits for next meeting are one

mushrooms. A. R. K.

The Florists’ Review

DeceMBeER 2, 1915.

ROCHESTER, N. Y.

The Market.

Everybody seems to be well satisfied
with the Thanksgiving trade. Business
did not really start until November 24,
when it came with arush. This year’s
trade compares favorably with that of
last, but more stock was on the market
this year. Local growers sent in some
choice stock, most of it of the highest
quality. There was too much yellow
on the market. The huge quantity of
pompons, as well as the larger yellow
mums, hurt their sale. Eaton in white
and yellow, Chadwick, Bonnaffon, Gold-
en Wedding, Patty and Queen were all
good sellers. There is a scarcity in all
kinds of roses, barely enough of which
were shipped. Pink and red carnations
are plentiful, but there is a shortage in
white. The trade called for a lot of
valley, but there has not been sufficient
to go around. Orchids are scarce and
in fair demand. Bouvardia is in fine
condition, but is shortening up. Violets
are plentiful and of good quality at $1
per hundred.

Large quantities of yellow, bronze
and red pompons, are on the market
and are fair sellers. Christmas greens
have arrived and appear to be in good
candition. Potted plants and ferns
move well. Asparagus plumosus, adian-
tum, smilax and galax leaves move
more briskly. Christmas novelties are
being displayed and are selling well.

Various Notes.

Frank R. Bohnke has opened a flower
store on Monroe avenue. It is the only
flower store in that vicinity. It seems
to be a favorable location. Mr. Bohnke
is doing a good business at his other
store. He is growing good stock.

Among recent visitors were James
Karins, of Henry A. Dreer, Inc., Phila-
delphia; Stephen Green, of H. Bayers-
dorfer & Co., Philadelphia; F. Murphy,
of N. F. McCarthy & Co., Boston; W. P.
Craig, of the Robert Craig Co., Phila-
delphia, and R. E. Blackshaw, of the
A. L. Randall Co., Chicago.

A Thanksgiving dinner table in the
window of J. B. Keller Sons was taste-
fully arranged with napery and a pro-
fusion of yellow and bronze pompons.
At each plate was a basket of lilies of
the valley. A bank of palms in the
back of the window formed a striking
contrast.

EK. C. Armbrust’s Thanksgiving win-
dow was prettily arranged with mums
‘and small baskets of other flowers. An
exquisite blanket of white mums and
pink roses recently was sent from this
shop to an out-of-town funeral.

The Rochester Floral Co. had a pretty
decoration in its window for Thanks-
giving. The color scheme was in yel-
low. On mats of the same shade on
the floor of the window were dainty
baskets of yellow pompons. The cen-
ter of attraction was a large arch of
yellow button mums and smilax, from
which was hanging a quantity of silk
ribbons. A large jardiniere of yellow
mums was beneath the arch.

Mr. and Mrs. William H. Dildine and
family spent Thanksgiving at Harri-
son Valley, Pa.

James Vick’s Sons say that their
bulbs are clearing fast and that they
expect to make a clean sweep in a few
days. Their large office staff is work-
ing on the 1916 catalogue.

The Florists’ Review

DzucymBer 2, 1915.

BUFFALO.

The Market.

A complete change was noted in the
market last week. Everything in the
line of flowers became extremely scarce,
especially roses. Business was good, in
many instances considerably better
than at this time last year. Large con-
signments of mums and pompons ar-
rived, and cleared rapidly at good
prices.

The receipts of chrysanthemums are
now rapidly declining, although many
nice, large varieties are still arriving.
Pompons are not as plentiful as a week
ago, but still the buyers hesitate. Car-
nations in the first part of last week
were abundant, but as Thanksgiving

approached they cleared and there has’

been no difficulty in selling them since.
Some extra nice carnations are arriv-
ing, with good color and stem. The
oversupply of roses disappeared last
week and they have been scarce ever
since. Orchids and valley are about
equal to the demand. Violets are mov-
ing satisfactorily. Lilies are inclined
to hang, although not in large supply.

Various Notes.

S. A. Anderson has added another de-
livery car. Both his cars are finished
in white, with light green trimmings.
Mr. Felton, formerly with S. A. Ander-
son, has resigned the position and has
opened a store at Main and Utica
streets.

Among the visitors this week were
W. Preisach and Wm. Ehmann, both
of Corfu.

On visiting the greenhouses of F. J.
Baum, I saw some excellent azalea
plants which will be ready for the
Christmas market. He also has a large
quantity of geraniums for Easter. All
his stock looks well.

While rushing his Thanksgiving or-
ders, J. V. Metz met with an accident
which delayed his delivery.

The Thanksgiving business at W. G.
Palmer & Son’s was better than last
year. A. E.

Chester, N. J—The Morristown, N. J.,
Record recently gave a full column
write-up to F. W. Rochelle, of F. W.
Rochelle & Sons, who believes in peace.
Last summer Mr. Rochelle wrote to 252
United States senators and representa-
tives, asking their views in this respect.
Interesting extracts from the replies of
the statesmen were printed, 118 of
whom were opposed to war.

MILWAUKEE.

The Market.

Market conditions for Thanksgiving:

day trade were poor. The shortage of
stock was so acute that hardly an order,
especially of roses, was filled complete-
ly. The slump in the rose crop during
the previous week was even more
marked and it was impossible to do
anything on most orders. This condi-
tion helped the sale of chrysanthemums
to a great extent and, although there
was a large crop of mums, they cleaned
up entirely. Taken all in all, Thanks-
giving trade was satisfactory. There
was a general clean-up and the demand
was brisk to the last minute.

Mums are on the wane and will not
last much longer, with the exception of
some Bonnaffons, which are arriving in
fine shape. Carnations were in abun-
dant supply, but the stock was excep-
tionally fine and the demand was larger
than the supply, thus cleaning up the
market daily at good prices. Lilies are
scarce at this time. There is not much
demand for this stock and the dark
weather has retarded the crop greatly.
Valley remains extremely scarce and the
demand is quite heavy. Orchids are
short in supply and are cleaning out at
top-notch prices. The charity ball will
create an extra large demand for valley
and orchids.

Violets are not increasing in number
and the d@mand still far exceeds the
supply. This stock is steadily improv-
ing in quality and some exceptionally
fine stock is being disposed of. From
présent indications, the shortage on
roses will not be alleviated for some
time. Prices are holding up well; every-
thing that looks like a bloom is being
disposed of with no trouble. During
Thanksgiving the shortage was princi-

ey in’ Russell, Ophelia, Hoosier
eauty and the other fancy roses.
Various Notes.

Alfred Schiller, of the Schiller Floral
Co., is ill and it is expected that he
will be taken to the hospital to under-
go an operation. His many friends send
him best wishes for a speedy recovery.

At the regular meeting of the Mil-
waukee Florists’ Club, December 2,
Thomas Kennedy will give a talk on
his western trip, taken this summer,
and will illustrate his talk with stere-
opticon views.

It might be well to mention the fact
that Thanksgiving day was about 10
degrees warmer than the Fourth of
July. It can be seen from this that
this year has not been normal and has
interfered with greenhouse work to a
great extent. BB. 5.8,

The Edlefsen-Leidiger Co. last week
sent out an engraved and embossed
folder announcing the opening of its
east side store, 419 Milwaukee street,
December 1. Miss Semler is in charge.

SUMMIT, N. J.

William Death reports that business
is excellent at present and the outlook
for the future is bright. He has had
a great deal of funeral work of late.

The greenhouses of M. MacDonald now
make a fine appearance from the street.
The leading greenhouses are connected
and the ends are of glass, so that
passers-by can see into all parts of the
range Mr. MacDonald reports that busi-
ness is first-class.

The Florists’ Review

o Supply

Are you running to full capacity?

and Demand

DECEMBER 2, 1915.

Profit is realized

only when a full volume of business is being done. Do
you supply the demand or is it met with the aid of

flowers purchased from other sources?

Ask yourself the

above questions and then decide if you are reaping the
profit that rightfully belongs to you.

THE TIME OF BIG PROFIT IS ALMOST HERE

Winter is the time when greenhouse profit is the highest
and the man who is prepared to meet the full demand

is the man who can write success after his name.

threatened to spread to the greenhouses,
The fire, however, proved more spectacu-
lar than disastrous. Claude E. Culley,
secretary of the company, stated that
the damage did not exceed $400 and
that the burned building was covered
by insurance.

Beatrice, Neb.—Twenty-five years ago
Mrs. Sophie H. Dole launched into the
florists’ business with the munificent in-
vestment of $1 for flower ghia 75 cents
for seeds and a hotbed sash for a green-
house. Despite this inauspicious begin-
ning, Mrs. Dole prospered exceedingly,
and in 1904 the business was incorpo-
rated under the name of Dole Floral
Co. The hotbed has become a range of
21,000 square feet of glass and there is
a large building downtown which con-
tains the retail store and wholesale
salesroom. On the occasion of its
twenty-fifth birthday, the Dole Floral
Co. held a flower show and invited
everybody to participate in the cele
bration.

Tiffin, O.—Because none of the civie
associations has seen fit to establish
and sponsor a flower show is no reason
why Tiffin should continue to go with-
out one. At least so thought E. J.
Ullrich, of the Ullrich Floral: Co., and,
being a man of action as well as
thought, Mr. Ullrich held a flower show
in his store just before Thanksgiving.
The event was a success from start to
finish. More than 4,000 carnations and
roses were distributed as souvenirs, at
the rate of one to each feminine visitor,
Mr. Ulrich says: ‘‘We were so much
pleased with the interest the
ple took in the show and the advertis-
ing received from it that we intend to
hold another show at Christmas and one
at Easter.’’

PLEASE MENTION THE REVIEW WHEN WRITING ANY OF THESE ADVERTISERS

Who doubts that for Christmas there will be Plants and Cut
Flowers in plenty? The problem is to sell so much in so few hours.

OT in many years, if ever before, has the trade

taken hold of Christmas with the enthusiasm now

apparent. Last year’s conservative view of the

situation is a thing wholly unknown today, for

buyers are stocking up with evident confidence

P || that the Christmas demand for 1916 will suffice

to clean up all the plants, cut flowers and acces-

sories the stores will hold. It is quite the usual

thing to hear a retailer say he is planning to buy

twice as much stock as he did for Christmas last

year and it seems probable that the demand will clean up the

wholesale sources of supply unless it be that the wholesale

dealer depends too much on the buyers hunting him up. Today

there are so many sources of supply that the man who does not
speak up is likely to be overlooked.

While the trade is buying more heavily than ever before,
still the supply in most lines is larger than in any previous
year. It is true of cut flowers, due to a steady increase in glass,
and it is especially true of

lants, of which it is well

own the supply this Christ-
mas will break all records.
Consequently the principal
problem the retailers will have
to solve will be how to sell
such large quantities in the
few short hours of the Christ-
mas rush,

Retailers’ Capacity.

One of the chief weaknesses
of the retail end of the busi-
ness is that our facilities are
inelastic—they do not permit
of more than a limited in-
crease in the volume of busi-
ness, either in time of glut,
when stock is pressing for a
market, or at a holiday, when
the public would buy more
flowers if itcomfortably
could.

Probably the condition is
general, but it affects our
trade more seriously than most
others because the average
person puts off buying flow-
ers until the last minute,
thereby throwing all the holi-
day business into a few enor-
mously busy hours. We all
know how it is.

This year Christmas comes
on Saturday, probably the
most favorable day of the
week, unless it be Sunday.
With Christmas on Saturday
it gives five possible days for
selling—if we can get the peo-
ple started. There won’t be
anything doing up to the Sat-
urday be fore—the business
practically all will be done

A Nifty Novelty is Easily Sold.

in Christmas week; most of it in the afternoons of five days.

Sunday will be spent in making the store attractive and
the selling will begin Monday, only there will be little doing
until Wednesday. And Wednesday is the shortest day in the
year, according to the almanac! Really, the two following
days will be shorter as compared with what we shall try to
crowd into them. Perhaps twenty-four selling hours to do
the whole Christmas business!

Is it any wonder that after a holiday you will hear many
a retailer say, ‘‘I could have sold more if we could have
waited on the people’’? ;

The trouble is we have not given sufficient attention to get-
ting the selling started early.

The growers have placed themselves in a position to supply
all the stock the retail stores can handle under the present sys-
tem—if not just the stock called for, either cut flowers or
plants, at least some kind of good, salable stock.

Does not, then, the future increase of the Christmas trade
depend, more than anything
else, on the ability of the re-
tailers to develop a system
that will permit the move-
ment of a greater quantity of
stock than can be done by the
present methods of handling
the holiday rush?

Increase Is Difficult.

The consideration of this
and other trade problems by
retailers who have not been
content to drift with the tide
—which is well known to flow
in and out, and get nowhere—
has led to the conclusion that
it is easier to increase the
every-day turnover than it is
to increase the holiday busi-
ness. At ordinary times the
store is overmanned—nobody
sells as much as he might.
But at Christmas each one
goes the limit of his ability
during the shopping hours on
each of three days. And the
reason the holiday business
does not increase faster is that
the retailers have for some
years been doing about all
that was humanly possible in
the few hours in which the
business is handled. If they
could get the people in earlier,
they could do more, but the
orders usually come as a
grand rush at the last minute
and how they will compare
with the stock on hand the
Lord only knows! Perhaps
they won’t clean it up. Per-
haps they will run to one item
so that it runs short, while
something else is unsold. Per-

haps they will come out even—everything
sold. Let us hope!

In looking back over a holiday rush it
is apparent that the store facilities are
taxed for only a few hours—perhaps not
more than two or three hours on two or
three days. Of course it is possible to
increase the holiday capacity by renting
near-by vacant stores for the overflow, by
opening branches in various parts of
town, and by similar means, but in gen-
eral extra space and capable extra help
both are difficult to secure and command
a premium at such a time, so that the
easiest way, really, is to begin prepara-
tions in season and work with the defin-
ite object of booking early orders from
one’s regular customers.

Early Orders Important.

A retailer who has figured long and
carefully on the system of handling his
holiday sales has a neatly printed card
ready for mailing December 14 to all his
regular customers. This is the way it
reads:

In the three days before Christmas there
is a large increase in our transient trade.
It therefore is urged that regular customers
Place their orders during the previous week.
During these days there will be an advance
showing of holiday plants and cut flowers
and our regular customers can be waited
on without being inconvenienced in their
selections by the presence of those who buy
flowers only at holidays.

If necessary to postpone Christmas selec-
tions until the last days, we urge shopping
in the morning hours.

This retailer has sent out a similar
notice each holiday for several seasons
and says he notes an appreciable increase
in the number of advance orders booked
each year, both at Christmas and Easter.
He always is careful to see that the early
orders are taken excellent care of, to ask
the customer if the flowers pleased, and
to comment that it pays to give orders
early.

The Newspaper Ads.

The newspaper advertising this year
should appear not later than Sunday,
December 19, or Monday, December 20,
and the copy should be written with a
view to getting people to leave their
orders early. Any space used after De-
cember 18 should emphasize the advan-
tages of buying early in the day, avoid-
ing the afternoon rush, especially of
avoiding the rush and depleted stocks of
the last day.

The codperative advertising that is
being done in a number of cities offers
one of the best means of correcting the
tendency to crowd all the business into

one or two days. One of the advantages
of the codperative advertising is that it
not only permits the use of larger space
than the individual ordinarily feels he
can afford, but it seems to carry a greater
weight from the fact that it is the con-
certed action of the leading members of
the trade in a given locality. This extra
weight should by all means be turned
toward starting the business early, as

ASHES EXTERMINATE GRUBS.

In The Review of November 11, C. B.,
of Ohio, asks for an exterminator of
the grubworms in his carnation field.
If C. B. will procure some unleached
hardwood ashes and place a small hand-
ful in each hole before planting, he will
have no further ‘trouble from grubs.
Two or three light top-dressings of good
ashes during the growing period will
free the plants from all dangerous in-
sects. Potash exists in ashes in a read-
ily soluble form and, being caustic, it
kills the larve of all insects. It will
not destroy the foliage of the plants.

FORCING BY ELECTRIC LIGHT.

Noticing your comments on page 34
of The Review for November 18, on
Charles H. Totty’s report of my using
electric lights to accelerate the develop-
ment of William Turner mums for the
Madison, N. J., show, October 28 and
29, it occurred to me that some of your
readers might be interested in this mod-
ern method of hastening plant growth.
I give a few of the details:

I used five Mazda 115-volt lamps for
this purpose. These I strung on a
board, twelve inches apart, and sus-
pended them across the bench, directly
over the Turner mums: The light was
so strong and dazzling that one could
not remain in close proximity to it for
any length of time without discomfort.
I kept the light going all night for a
week before the show and succeeded

well as toward arousing interest in, the
use of flowers as gifts. As a matter ef
fact, under the conditions of the past it
is more important to get the buyers

started early than it is to increase the
volume of business offered at the last
moment.

A complete clean-up depends on get-
ting orders early enough so one may
know where he stands.

in attaining the desired result, for the
blooms so treated finished at least a
week ahead of those in another house.
I, as well as. Mr. Totty, think that this
treatment had something to do with
the favorable decision given me at the
show.

Mr. Totty did not speak of the ex-
citement occasioned by. a fire alarm
sounded on the village fire gong at 1
a. m. of a morning when the lights
were in full blast, which suddenly
brought 200 guests to view the mums
at that unearthly hour and roused all
hands to subdue the supposed flames.
It was quite a surprise party.

RESURRECTION PLANT DUTY.

The Board of Customs Appraisers has
decided that resurrection plants, or
moss, imported from Mexico, are .ad-
missible free of duty. Henry S. Beach
imported some moss at El Paso, Tex.,
and was assessed for duty by the cus-
toms collector at fifteen per cent ad
valorem. He made a protest and the
board sustained him in the following
decision by Appraiser Waite:

‘‘The merchandise under considera-
tion here is described in the invoice
as sixteen bales of ‘musgo,’ which we
understand to be the Spanish word for
moss. It was imported from Mexico
City into the port of El Paso. It was
assessed for duty at fifteen per cent ad
valorem under paragraph 211, tariff act
of 1913, the last part of which para-
graph provides for ‘stocks, cuttings, and
seedlings of all fruit and ornamental
trees, deciduous and evergreen shrubs
and vines, and all trees, shrubs, plants,
and vines commonly known as nursery
or greenhouse stock not specially pro-

vided for in this section.’ The collec-
tor-reports as follows:

‘¢ ¢This article is regarded as a plant
and classified for duty under the latter
provision of paragraph 211, tariff act of
1913, following the practice of the port
heretofore in classifying this article
under the tariff acts of 1909 and 1897,
the provision referred to being the same
in the several tariff acts.’

*‘It is claimed to be free of duty
under paragraph 552 as a moss.

‘“Mr. Sharp, the examiner of the port
of El Paso, was called, identified the
sample which is before us, and stated
that this article had been classified as
here classified for the last twenty or
twenty-five years. It does not, how-
ever, appear to have been ever before
the board for classification. The evi-
dence really furnishes little assistance
except the light thrown upon the ques-
tion by the sample. The sample on in-
spection resembles a club moss. It is
rolled up somewhat in the shape of a
ball, and on being dampened or wet it
spreads out and becomes flat, with
branches and leaves radiating from a
common center, supported by a very

thick clump or cluster of roots. The
entry describes it as moss. It is known
as one of the resurrection plants. The

New Standard Dictionary gives the fol-
lowing regarding the resurrection plant:

Resurrection plant.—1. The rose of Jericho
(Anastatica Hierochuntina). When the leaves

fall off the branches fold into a ball, having the
seeds inside. If put into water, the seeds will
germinate long after the plant’s death. 2. Any
of the several club mosses, especially the bird’s-
nest moss (Selaginella lepidophylla), a native
of Texas and Mexico.

‘‘We think the merchandise here be-
fore us is described by the latter defi-
nition, and is undoubtedly a club moss
and might be characterized as bird’s-
nest moss. We do not consider it nurs-
ery or greenhouse stock. There is
nothing to indicate that it is ever cul-
tivated or sold by nursery or green-
house men. As imported, we have no
means of knowing what use it is to be
put to except what may be gathered
from the protest. We are of the opinion
that it should be classified under para-
graph 552, which provides for ‘moss,
seaweeds, and vegetable substances,
crude or unmanufactured, not otherwise
specially provided for in this section.’
The protest is therefore sustained.’’

CHRISTMAS PLANTS

SOME OF THE MOST SALABLE VARIETIES, WITH TIMELY
SUGGESTIONS ON MAKING THEM READY

eC

HRISTMAS is the banner
plant holiday in the busi-
ness calendar of retailer
and grower. The sale of
plants on that occasion is

being particularly strong
for plants with bright colored flowers,
foliage or berries. Plants shown with-
out pot covers still may sell in some
places, but the man who puts up or
arranges attractive combinations of
plants in baskets, with the aid of rib-
bon, will be in line for more sales and
bigger profits. Moreover, in these artis-
tic plant gifts the florist can charge
for his knowledge of. the business.
Following suggestions are especially
for the man who grows the plants he
will sell for Christmas, but some of the
plants named are the biggest sellers on
this holiday and, after reading these
suggestions, many a retail store man
will want to take another account of
his stock.

Primulas and Cyclamens.

The primulas are favorites with pur-
chasers of moderate means. Both P.
Sinensis and P. obconica should now be
in nice flower, provided they have been
grown on a shelf or light bench in a

steadily increasing, the call .

sunny house. P. malacoides, the most
decorative and charming of all the
greenhouse primulas, is never seen at
its best for Christmas. It dislikes heat,
and, for that reason, it is far better to
grow it cold and use later in the winter.
Cyclamens for Christmas may be grown
a little warmer than primulas. From
now on any sun we may have will not
harm them. It is a mistake to shade
them at this season, as it will only mean
drawn foliage and flowers. Half the
beauty of a cyclamen is lost when the
flowers fai] to stand up rigidly. If your
plants are late and not yet showing
color, it will be far better to place them
in a cool house—40 to 45 degrees at,
night suits them—and flower them
toward spring.

Begonias.

Many thousands of begonias are sold
at Christmas and the smaller sizes are
usually in undersupply. While Cin-
cinnati is a much better house plant
than Lorraine, many of the latter still
are sold. Then, Gloire de Chatelaine is
not to be ignored. Nicely flowered
plants of this perpetual-blooming va-
riety will bring as much money as
Cincinnati or Lorraine, and it is a de-
cidedly better house plant, for, if given

anything like reasonable care, it will
flower the whole winter in the average
home. This year, I believe, for the
first time, some of the beautiful English
winter-flowering varieties, such as Mrs.
Heal and Winter Cheer, are being of-
fered in small quantities. These are of
real Christmas color, with flowers
equaling those of the tuberous section
in size. There are now quite a variety
of these begonias raised by Veitch &
Son, of London, and Clibrans, of Altrin-
cham, England. When more of these be-
gonias have been imported and then
propagated and culture is mastered,
these will jump into the front rank as
Christmas favorites. Growers who are
looking for something out of the com-
mon should secure some of these plants.

Poinsettias.

The present fall has been an excep-
tionally warm and bright one and, as
a consequence, it has been a compara-
tively easy matter to get the poinsettia
bracts developed in good season for the
holiday trade. If, perchance, any are
somewhat backward, give them more
heat at once; 60 to 62 degrees at night
will suffice. A higher temperature will
tend to make them drawn and lacking
in substance. Cool them off gradually,
as sharp drops in temperature will soon
cause a crop of golden foliage to ap-
pear. Careless watering will achieve
the same object. It is better to under-
water than the reverse. Do not use
any stimulants after the bracts are one-
fourth expanded.

Poinsettias have their ups and downs
in favor, but they have the real Christ-
mas colors and are not likely to be dis-
placed for many years to come. While
in the store, give them a location free
from drafts and do not let them stand
in saucers containing any water, or
they will soon lose their leaves. In
cutting the bracts it is a good plan to
gradually drop the temperature of the
house for a few nights. As the stems
are cut have some water as near boiling
as possible and dip the ends in it for a
few seconds, or sear them on a hot iron
or some hot coal to stop bleeding. Then
plunge in a deep vase of cold water
and keep in a temperature of about
45 degrées. An ice chest is too cold for
these flowers.

Freesias.

We do not see many freesias at
Christmas, either in pots or in the cut
state. Not being of a Christmas color,
it pays much better to cut them than
to run any risk of left-over plants. The
bulbs which were placed in the soil
about the middle of July now have
growths twenty-four to thirty inches
high and buds are showing quite dis-
tinctly. The bulk of these will be on
time for the holidays. These plants
have for some weeks had a minimum
temperature of 52 to 54 degrees and
have been on shelves close to the glass.

The Retailer Who Seeks Individuality Makes Use of Material that is Not Seen in Every Store on the Street.

Christmas prices are always good for
freesias and any laggard plants should
get a little more heat at once. Purity
is far ahead of all other freesias for
Christmas forcing.

Euphorbia Jacquinieflora.

Euphorbia jacquinieflora is an old
plant and, like many other old plants,
it has come much into favor of late.
Its brilliant color makes it a grand
Christmas plant. While it may be
grown in an ordinary greenhouse, it
succeeds best in the same house with
poinsettias and does not at all object
to a brisk heat. This plant is specially
desirable when grown in pans contain-
ing six to twelve plants, each grown to
a single stem. The graceful drooping
stems, each thickly studded with little,
bright, orange scarlet bracts, are most
effective.

Camellias.

There has been a most decided return
of camellias to favor and indications
are that more than ever will be sold
this Christmas. They are plants whicli
need cool treatment and object to bright
sunshine. They cannot be subjected to
anything like warm treatment without
suffering a loss of buds, but, if they are
a little late for the holidays, they will

stand 50 degrees at night, but do not
expose them to bright sunshine or the
flowers are liable to be burned. If one
or two flowers can be even half ex-
panded, the plants will be in good con-
dition for selling. When fully open
they need careful packing; each flower
must be wrapped in cotton-wool and
tissue paper to prevent bruising. Ca-
mellias can be kept in a cold part of
the store, being of a tough nature. They
will withstand a temperature which
would soon prove disastrous to tender
plants like poinsettias.

Early French and Dutch Bulbs.

Paper White narcissi have been on
the markets for some weeks. It is a
simple matter to have these in flower
for Christmas by simply standing the
flats below the benches in a warm house
until flowers start to open and then
placing them on a bench. There is often
a glut of this flower in the wholesale
markets, but the country florist with
a retail trade will find them valuable,
and any uncut flowers can be held for
some days on the floor of a cold cellar.
Roman hyacinths can be had without
much trouble for the holidays. They
also prove useful. In 6-inch pans, nicely
flowered and neatly trimmed, they are

salable. French Trumpet majors and
Golden Spurs do not carry flowers of
anything like the size and quality of
the Guernsey and Dutch, but are a wel-
come addition to the list of Christmas
flowers. I doubt, however, if there is
much money in them. The same is true
of tulips, such as White Hawk, La
Reine and the little Due van Thol. Crit-
ical customers are willing to pay a
good price for these harbingers of
spring. The tulips all need a good top
heat and must be kept dark until the
flowers start to open, or the stems will
be short.

Bulbs placed in flats in September
are now all well rooted and where
growths have started a couple of inches
the following sorts can be started: Tu-
lips—La Reine, White Hawk, Yellow
Prince. Narcissi—Golden Spur, Dutch
and Guernsey; Silver Spur and rugu-
losus. In addition, Spanish iris and
gladioli of the nanus type, such as
Blushing Bride and Peach Blossom, can
be started in a cool house.

Berried Plants.

Christmas is the one season when
berried plants will sell. For some vari-
eties fancy prices are necessary, but
there are others which can be profitably
sold at moderate figures. Imported ber-

ried hollies are good this season, with
plenty of dark green foliage and an
abundance of fruit. One or two of
these in tubs at the entrance to the

allowable, are effective and will at once
attract attention. Be sure to keep these

they are a little tardy, give them
all the heat you can and full sun; also,

chasers of moderate means there are
Christmas peppers and Jerusalem cher-
ries. The latter are the hardier and
more satisfactory. Plants propagated
from cuttings are low-habited and do
not make nice, bushy plants like seed-
lings. Furthermore, they ripen so early
that berries will often fall before the
holidays, even when grown cold. Give
the Jerusalem cherries lots of water and
tell purchasers that they will last much
longer in a cool than in a warm house.

Christmas Greenery.

It does not pay the average florist to
make up pine, laurel, hemlock and other
forms of wreathing, or to make up
wreaths which can be bought by the
yard or barrel, as the case may be, at
reasonable prices. When supplies are
received, keep no more of them than is
necessary in the store where there is fire

coldframes from which all but a little
frost can he excluded are ideal storage
places. In addition to the evergreen
we have the beautiful deciduous hollies,
such as Ilex verticillata; some varieties
of roses, such as Rosa multiflora, rugosa,
Carolina and Setigera; Berberis Thun-
bergii and vulgaris; the various crate-
gus and cotoneasters, to mention some
of the more prominent red fruited
plants which are most valuable for
use in wreaths and for various deco-
trative purposes. The common snow-
berry, Symphoricarpos racemosus, with
white fruit, and S. vulgaris, the Indian
currant or coral berry, with its smaller
purplish red fruit, are other valuable
Christmas-fruiting shrubs. It is well to
lay in a good stock of these in a cold
storage shed while the weather holds
good. It is a difficult matter to secure
these when frost and snow hold full
sway.”

The pots will burst with the frost, the

possible. While selling the spruces for
Christmas trees, why not have a porch

have a few retinosporas, hemlocks, juni-
perus and other varieties in tubs and
suggest their use in locations where
they will get little or*no fire heat.

THE FIRST WOMAN CHAUFFEUR.

The London Flower Shop, Ltd., of
1800 Chestnut street, Philadelphia, has
the distinction of having in its employ
probably the first commercial woman
chauffeur in this country. She is Miss
Blanche Ferree, 23 years old. The Even-
ing Ledger considered this departure
from the ordinary of sufficient news
value to reproduce a photograph show-
ing the masculinely attired young lady
standing by her truck ready to mount to
the driver’s seat. Miss Ferree thinks
that driving a delivery truck for a Phil-
adelphia flower shop is the finest kind of
a job for a girl, and says that in a dozen
different ways it beats biti, ® in a
store. Incidentally, the London Flower
Shop will find that hiring a woman
chauffeur beats hiring a man in the
same capacity by a dozen different
ways, especially in regard to publicity
of the kind that spells success.

IMPATIENS NOT THRIVING.

What kind of treatment do sultanas”
need that grow to be good plants and
then begin to look brown and diseased
at the ends? M. F. T.—Kan.

I suppose you mean Impatiens Sul-
tani, and not sweet sultans. If the
plants are impatiens, I should say that
the trouble comes from starvation at
the root, or too low temperature and
an insufficient water supply. In win-
ter, to keep these in good condition,
they must have a warm house.

ANTIRRHINUM MOST SUITABLE.

Please tell me of some good flower
for cutting that I could grow on a
ground bench, 5x150. I would like a
good commercial variety, which will
bloom from February to June. I have
sweet peas. F. C.—Ind.

Seeing that you already have sweet
peas, I do not know of any other con-
tinuous bloomer that would give you
better returns than antirrhinum. Pink
varieties are decidedly the best sellers.
You will find some good varieties of-
Ramsburg’s Silver Pink and

SWEET PEAS DROPPING BUDS.

Kindly tell us what is the matter
with our sweet peas. They have a fine
start, are about seven feet tall, grow
rank, show good foliage, and are free
from insects, but recently they began
to drop their blooms before ‘they
opened. They come with two or three
blooms to a stem, but lately many of
the buds have been turning yellow and
dropping off.

Could it be possible that they have
been overwatered or overfed? We
have been feeding them twice a week
with liquid cow manure. They are
planted in a solid bed in the ground.
There is no tile running through under
the bed, but we intend to do this next
year. The soil is dark and somewhat
heavy.

On two or three occasions, through
the carelessness of the night man, the
temperature has run up to 65 degrees,
but we aim to keep the temperature
from 50 to 55 degrees.

H. J. V. H. & 8S.—Ohio.

Sweet peas usually drop more or less
buds in the dark weather of early win-
ter, but you are both overwatering and
overfeeding your plants. To feed

twice a week at this season is exces-
sive. The plants should not need any
stimulants until the flowers are open-
ing, if your soil has a good depth and
good drainage. Keep your plants drier
at the root and do not feed them. If
the plants show that they need some
stimulant, give them a top-dressing of
cow or sheep manure and wash it in.
During midwinter feeding must be done
with extreme care or the buds will con-
tinue to drop. Erratic night tempera-
tures are bad. Before the flowers open
45 to 48 degrees is a suitable night
reading. Later keep the minimum as
near 50 degrees as you can, and cer-
tainly not over 52 degrees if you want
good results. Sweet peas like a deep,
rich soil into which a heavy coat of
well decayed cow manure has been
worked. A little fine bone can be
used with the animal manures when
top-dressing. Cc. W.

TEMPERATURE FOR LILIES.

Please give us some information on
giganteum lilies. Some say to put
them immediately in a temperature of
60 degrees, and some say 50 degrees.
We intended to put them in a rose
house. What is the proper temperature
and when should they be started? Do
they need any shade to draw the stems?

A. & 8.—TIa.

A temperature of 55 to 60 degrees is
better than 50 degrees. Give them this
temperature right from the start.
Later, as the plants become well rooted,
a higher temperature, say 60 to 65 de-

grees, can be given. Giganteums need
a good heat from start to finish. A
little shade helps to draw them up and
give the necessary stem. Give this shade
after the plants are six to eight inches
high. Co Wi

TO HOLD BACK POINSETTIAS.

On account of the warm weather and
hot sun in this locality, my poinsettias
are quite far advanced. What shall 1
do to hold them back so that they will
still be in good condition for Christ-
mas? I shall greatly appreciate any
information you can give me.

M. F. T.—Kan.

Gradually lower the temperature in
your house to 50 degrees. Place the
ev where they can be given some
shade from the rays of the sun. Do
not keep them too cool, however. Be
sure to water them carefully, or they
will soon lose their foliage. It is safer
to run the plants a little on the dry
side when they are in a lower tem-
perature. Cc. W.

BOOSTING THE BUSINESS.

The Old-Fashioned Idea.

Not so long ago, as time is measured
by years, the florist in the smaller cities
took himself a little bit too seriously
in many ways. He prided himself on
his artistic, mechanical and botanical
knowledge rather than on his ability as
a merchant or tradesman. He consid-
ered himself more of a scientist than
a salesman. According to his way: of
thinking there was only about so much
business in town anyway. He had no
faith in what were to him new and
unproved methods of stimulating de-
mand. What trade he did not get his
competitors would, and that’s all there
was to it. He did not even believe in
meeting the customer halfway. He
thought he could not have a separate,

downtown store, yet his greenhouse was
so far from the general line of travel
that his fellow townsmen looked upon
it as a sight-seeing spot. They some-
times made it the objective of a Sun-
day walk, on which occasion they would
do a great deal of looking but little
buying.

Even the little room at the green-
house in which customers waited while
being served was dingy and cluttered.
The old-time florist could do a piece of
landscape gardening for a leading citi-
zen in a way to make the townspeople
rub their eyes in astonishment and to
grudgingly admit that Smith certainly
knew his business. But this same Smith
was in the kindergarten class when it
came to making a selling display at his
own place; that is, he would have been

‘feverything comes to him who waits.’’

Possibly, a day or two before Christ-

mas, he would insert an inch ad in the

local daily; something like this:
JOHN SMITH, FLORIST

Special attention given to the Xmas trade.
Tel. No. Central 24, o. 2700 Out of the Way Pl.

Of course, a business card of this de-
scription had about as much pulling
power as a Phytomyza chrysantha at-
tached to a furniture dray would have.

Some Modern Methods.

Happily, the John Smith type is now
something of a rarity, even in small
towns. The average florist is up and
doing. He no longer relies on people
visiting his inaccessible greenhouses,
but has a store in a busy section of
the town. Both greenhouses and store
are neat and clean. There is an ap-
parent effort to show the stock in such
attractive ways that people will wish to
buy, and many florists have become
large users of newspaper space. Not all
retailers are in position to use full
pages in widely circulated dailies, but
here and there pioneers are blazing
publicity trails that will result within
a few years in a truly marvelous expan-
sion of the Christmas trade.

How Boston Does It.

Note the ad of Penn, of Boston,
photographically reproduced on page 39.
So far as space—exceedingly generous
for a florists’ ad—will admit, each arti-
cle is priced. A cleverly worded intro-
duction to the ad concentrates the
reader’s attention on the suggestion
that Christmas is essentially a time of
good cheer, and that no gift of human
workmanship, regardless of expense, can
so well express this sentiment as a sin-
gle flower of nature’s handiwork. It
is a suggestion that should carry a stir-
ring appeal to everyone who is himself
a flower lover.

Some Typical Examples,

In direct contrast to the foregoing
is the dignified Wienhoeber ad that
makes no mention of prices, but im-
plies quality and service in every line.
It gives an idea of exclusiveness, of
prestige, of a highly reputable house
of long standing and unblemished repu-
tation, like the ad of a high-class bank
or jewelry or furniture store.

Then there is the ad that makes a
colorific splash; a full-page, 2-color dis-
play in a Sunday edition, as was that of
the Jones-Russell Co., reproduced here-
with. Its first appeal is to the eye and
then to the pocketbook.

Last is the codperative ad, usually
engineered by an enterprising news-
paper solicitor. It is argued that in
union there is strength and that every
advertiser in this venture gets the bene-
fit of a full-page display although only
paying his proportion of the expense.
The reader simply cannot ignore such
a page.

What Will You Do?

The retailers’ advertisements repro-
duced in this issue are to illustrate
modern types—there are ideas here that
can be adapted to the needs of any busi-
ness. The question, then, is ‘‘ What are
you going to do about it?’’ Shall you
be content to serve what trade naturally
comes through your door, or are you go-
ing to do your mite to put flowers be-
fore the gift buyers in at least as strong
a fashion as other specialty stores do
their wares?

The most skilful labor of the master craftsman, the richest gifts

PLANTING EASTER LILY BULBS.

We are about to plant three cases of
Easter lily bulbs which came from
Japan. We should like to get some ad-
vice as to what fertilizer to use and
how to care for them, as this is our
first attempt. D. B.—La.

You do not state which variety of
Easter lily you have. There are several,
but the one mostly grown is longiflorum
giganteum, and I assume this is what
you have. Use a compost of decayed
turfy loam, to which is added one-fourth
of well-decayed manure and some sharp
sand. Do not use any commercial fer-
tilizer or fresh animal manure. Pot the
bulbs singly in 5-inch or 6-inch pots, ac-
cording to size of bulbs. The larger size
of pots is most in use. Only half fill the
pots with compost at planting time.
Leave an ample space to fill in as the
bulbs grow. Remember that many of
the roots come from the top of the bulb,
and if you do not cover the bulbs well
the results will not be so good.

After potting, give a good watering.
Then stand them in a frame, or below
a bench in a greenhouse where a min-
imum temperature of 55 to 60 degrees is
maintained. When the growths push,
stand the plants on a bench where they
will get lots of sun and not less than
60 degrees at night. Giganteums need
warm treatment all the time. They
usually come quite dwarf. About the
time the buds show, shade the house
well and keep them warm. This helps
to lengthen the stems. Stand them in
a cool house as soon as the first flowers
open. Be careful to water sparingly
until the pots contain plenty of live
roots. W

RISE AND FALL OF THE VIOLET.

Fixing the Responsibility.

Many growers, or those who have
kept in touch with the wholesale cut
flower market situation, may recall the
almost phenomenal rise in favor of the
double violets about fifteen years ago
and how, especially in certain districts
in the east, many persons of both sexes
started to specialize in this flower ex-
clusively. Some were successful and
made comfortable fortunes in the ven-
ture in the space of a few years, but
the apparent ease with which this was
done acted like a will-o’-the-wisp to
lure others, who proved less successful,
to the bog of destruction, or failure.
Perhaps more failures were noted than
successes, so that after a time violet
growing was regarded as a more or less
hopeless thing to attempt, especially
during the last few seasons, when vio-
lets, as a commercial proposition, have
been at the lowest ebb.

Personally, I consider this rise and
fall of the violet in public favor as
most justifiable, under the attending

conditions. I do not blame the violet
for its fall so much as I do the grow-
ers, or the men who handle them in the
market. The violet of ten seasons ago
was, on an average, of splendid type.
The fine, large double blooms, on long,
firm stems, bunched well and carefully,
were worth the good prices asked and
obtained in the market. I can recall
seeing bunches of 100 blooms that were
a foot in diameter, with stems six and
seven inches long, and plants that were
ideal types, free from disease and pro-
ducing the maximum number of blooms
per season, without any apparent trou-
ble to themselves or to their growers.
These flowers had splendid keeping
qualities, too, lasting in water for a
week in a cool temperature, losing their
fragrance but not their color or shape.

The Decline of the Double Violet.

Growers who started to cultivate vio-
lets usually had success the first season,
beginner’s luck, as some called it, and
being encouraged, built more houses and
went into the game extensively, only
to find that after a few seasons, for
some reason, their stock was not up to
standard. It was apparent that the
plants did not have the vitality they
formerly had. This situation, instead
of improving, grew steadily worse; one
by one violet growers dropped from
the running, either to take up another
branch of floriculture or to enter a
profession of less uncertain nature than
violet growing. Those who continued
to propagate violets have generally con-
ceded that, taken alone, violet grow-
ing is no longer a paying proposition
and that the successful culture of the
double varieties is a thing of the past.

Another reason for the failure of the
double violets in the market was the
great carelessness which characterized

the bunching and shipping methods of
some of the growers. Consignments
numbering thousands of blooms would
be sent in day after day with flowers
so loosely bunched that the slightest
shake would send a dozen or more from
the center of the bunch. Inferior
blooms would be bunched with good
ones and often muddy, ill assorted
foliage would be used. As the whole-
sale merchant could not take time to
remedy this, the good, bad and indiffer-
ent violets were sold together. The
grower was probably notified, but mean-
while his stock had been given a black
eye. This could not fail to have a
bad effect on the violet trade, espe-
cially as this inferior stock arrived in
an increasing quantity. The demand
decreased rapidly.
The Single Violet.

The commercial development of the
single violet, notably Princess of Wales,
has been a less rapid one, but bids fair
to be more lasting. Some years ago
the principal value of this variety was
to provide foliage for the double vio-

26-28 Broadway

lets, but even then it was at first ac-
cepted as a doubtful substitute for
California. However, Princess of Wales
has now outdistanced California, both
from a cultural and commercial point
of view. While I doubt if the Princess
will ever equal the popularity of Lady
Campbell or Marie Louise, it has a se-
cure and constantly advancing position
in the market.

Although several years have elapsed
since I have been interested in violets
from a commercial point of view, I
have made a few experiments with
Lady Campbell plants that have been
interesting to me. I will tell of one ex-
periment in particular, which may in-
terest others who grow this variety.

In the early fall of 1914 I took a
few plants from a grower who com-
plained that his stock was going back
on him for no apparent reason; the
plants, after having been properly
eared for through the summer, seemed
to reach a point where all growth
stopped. The leaves became a sickly
yellowish color and while the plants

were not dead, they gave no evidence
of vitality. It was with little hope of
their even being able to stand the
transplanting that I took them to my
own violet bed. Every known care was

i lants, but it, was not until

bee the

anuary that the plants really -.
peared to have an interest in life. At
that time they sent out a few thin
shoots and buds, which I removed as
soon as they appearéd, until the first

of February, when I let them grow as
they would.

Experimenting with Lady Campbell.

At this time the plants were send-
ing up a strong, fine, healthy crown
growth. The foliage was bright green,
on long, firm stems. Before long,
blooms appeared that were the largest
I had ever picked. Immediately after
Easter I took the few cuttings there
were from the plants and divided the
crowns, putting all of them in the regu-
lar cutting bed, later transferring thém
to the freshly made greenhouse bed.
Here they have remained and have
proved to be ideal types of plants, show-
ing a decided tendency to produce ear-
lier and better blooms this season than
any of the other stock.

Whether this is a solution for the
improvement of Lady Campbell stock
I cannot say until the experiment has
been given a more thorough test. My
theory is, however, that this violet has
been forced—it is almost impossible to
grow Lady Campbell without forcing it
—to such an extent that it needs a rest
every few seasons, not in a coldframe,
where it is subject to wide variations
of temperature, but in a place where
all the conditions for it are as ideal as
possible.

From a personal standpoint, luck
plays but a small part in the successful
culture of violets. My failures to get
good plants and blooms were always
traceable to some carelessness in details
that appeared insignificant at the time,
but which proved fatal later. From
the time the cutting is taken from the
plant in the spring, constant vigilance
will prove to be the price of success.

Probably a day will come when vio-
lets will bask in the sunlight of public
favor, but do not forget that there is
always a certain demand for this par-
ticular flower, which no other flower
can fill, A conscientious care in mar-
keting as well as in growing them is
likely to bring its own reward to the
grower, when that day comes.

NATIONAL FLOWER SHOW.

Premiums Increased.

With a view to adding to the attrac-
tion of some of the display classes, the
schedule committee of the National
Flower Show has decided to increase
the prizes in the class covering rose
gardens to $1,000, offering $500 as first,
$300 as second, and $200 as the third
prize. The prizes in the class for the
best display of rose plants to cover 200
square feet have been increased from
$125 and $75 to $200 and $100. The
show will be held in Convention hall,
Philadelphia, March 25 to April 2.

The second preliminary schedule has
just been mailed. It comprises forty-
four pages, and the prizes offered ap-
proximate $20,000. It is the largest
schedule ever put out for a flower show
in America.

New Rose Ruling.

Exhibitors of roses in both commer-
cial and private classes are reminded
that under a new ruling of the Amer-
ican Rose Society all roses with more
than two growths (one pinch) will be
disqualified, except in the classes call-
ing for displays, and for 100 or more
blooms in a vase, when two pinches
will be allowed.

The rose section, as prepared by the
American Rose Society, contains an un-
usually liberal list of premiums, which
aggregate considerably over $4,000. Al-
most all the varieties of roses used
eommercially as cut flowers are classed,

$150 and $100. Prizes of $50, $35 and
$15 are offered for the best vase of
carnations, not to exceed 300 blooms,
one or more varieties, greens and rib-
bons allowed.

The retail classes in the carnation
section are somewhat novel. In the
class for table decorations, $50 will be
awarded to each table scoring not less
than 90 points; $40 to each table scor-
ing not less than 80 points, and $30 to
each table scoring not less than 70
points. Another class covers basket ar-
rangements, and the same idea prevails
as to awards. To each arrangement
scoring not less than 90 points, $25
will be awarded; $20 to each arrange-
ment scoring not less than 80 points,
and $15 to each arrangement scoring
not less than 70 points. Only six en-
tries will be accepted in either of these
classes. Immediately following the
judging the secretary will remove the
entry cards from all the exhibits in
these classes, and only the regulation
display cards as prescribed by the man-
agement will be permitted on the dis-
plays. The reason for this ruling is ob-
vious to retailers.

Carnation Jubilee.

The carnation display will really form
the jubilee exhibition of the American
Carnation Society, celebrating that so-
ciety ’s twenty-fifth anniversary. In its
commemoration the society will award
a special silver jubilee medal to each
winner of one or more first premiums in
the vase classes.

Mignonette.

The earliest sowing of mignonette is
now giving us some splendid spikes;
not so fine, however, as we shall have
later in the winter, for mignonette is al-
ways of the best quality when the tem-
perature outside is low. The plants love
cool, moist weather and abominate heat.
For that reason the house where they
are planted must be kept cool and given
an abundance of fresh air. The night
temperature must not exceed 45 degrees,
and 40 to 42 degrees is better.

There is not any great call for mig-
nonette while mums are in season, but
from Christmas until late spring it sells
well. See to it that the plants are
properly supported, either by using
cross strings, or by using short pieces
of brush. Rub off all weak side growths,
and, if really fancy spikes are wanted,
reduce the number of spikes to be car-
ried by each plant. Mignonette will
not tolerate bottom heat, and for that
reason it should not be sown in benches
above heating pipes. Its roots love to
be in cool, moist material, and, if the
drainage is good, the water will pass
freely through the soil. Now that the
benches are full of active roots, a light
mulch of old manure will be beneficial.
If this is not available, apply liquid
manure once a fortnight, but be care-
ful that it is moderately weak. Sow
mignonette now for a late spring crop.

Lilium Candidum.

An early batch of Lilium candidum
always comes in useful. L. candidum
cannot be subjected to hard forcing
without being, in a large measure,
spoiled. Place the plants intended for
early blooming in a temperature of 45
degrees and never grow them in a
higher minimum than 50 degrees if
flowers of the finest quality are wanted.
Keep the plants wanted for Easter flow-
ering in a coldframe for some time yet.
Keep the sashes off except to prevent
hard freezing, which might crack the
pots. This beautiful lily needs radically
different treatment from L. longiflorum,
to grow it successfully.

Lilium Giganteum.

The longiflorum lilies should all have
been potted before now if they are
wanted for Easter flowering. It is true
that Easter comes unusually late in
1916, but it is a mistake to assume that
for this reason the potting can be put
off a month later than usual. Giganteum
is the lily par excellence for Easter and
needs heat from start to finish. Some
growers still make the mistake of
placing the bulbs, when potted, in cold-
frames or pits. This treatment will an-
swer well for some lilies, but not for
giganteums. Give them not less than

55 degrees at night at the start, and
later in the season increase this by 10
degrees. Then the plants will be seen
at their best. Water sparingly until
the growths are several inches high and
the roots are active in the pots.

. Poinsettias.

The warm fall has been favorable for
the development of the poinsettia
bracts. Many were fully open at
Thanksgiving and must be kept mod-
erately cool for the next two or three
weeks; not too cool, however, or a loss
of leaves will soon ensue. From now
on careful watering plays a great part
in the successful care of poinsettias.

It is more dangerous to keep the plants
extremely wet than the reverse. Strive
to strike the happy medium. Plants

with undeveloped bracts will need 60
degrees at night. Such as are well
opened must be kept 10 degrees cooler,
but be sure they are watered with care
and not subjected to cold drafts.

Gladioli.

The small-bulbed gladioli of the
nanus type, such as Peach Blossom, The
Bride, Blushing Bride, ete., should have
been in the soil some weeks ago. If
not, get them in at once, as they natur-
ally start to grow early. The large-
flowered varieties, such as Augusta, Chi-
cago White, America, Mrs. F. King, etc.,
make a useful crop te plant after chrys-
anthemums. They succeed well in a
carnation temperature. They are often
seen dotted among carnations—a bad
practice. There is no objection to plant-
ing them where carnations may have
died out, but they do far more harm
than good if dotted here and there
among the plants. America still seems
to hold its own as the best seller among
forced gladioli.

DATES TO START NARCISSI.

Please state the earliest dates on
which the following bulbs can be
forced; I mean the dates when the
flats can be brought into the houses:
French Golden Spur, Guernsey Spur
and Trumpet Major. J. H.—R. I.

French Golden Spurs can be placed
in heat the first week in December,
provided they were planted in the flats
by the middle of September. These
may be had in flower for Christmas.
Guernsey Trumpet majors and Golden
Spurs come a little later than the
French, and it does not pay to start
them earlier than from December 15 to
December 20. These are much superior
in quality to the French stock. C. W.

ROSES IN THE SOUTH.

Hints on Their Propagation.

No time should be lost in getting the ~

cuttings of such varieties as Radiance,
My Maryland, Kaiserin and other roses
of that type into the sand. In the
south the cuttings will root much bet-
ter now than a month later. Varieties
like Killarney, Richmond, etc., which
bloom freely through the winter, will
root easily for a few months yet.
The cutting bed should be deep

‘enough to hold about two inches of

rough cinders for drainage, and three
inches of sand when it is pounded firm-
ly. Enough bottom heat to keep the
sand at a temperature of 60 degrees is
essential to success.

The wood for cuttings should be care-
fully selected and not cut haphazard.
All the varieties mentioned throw a
good many short, blind shoots, and
these shoots, taken off with a heel
when a little more than half ripe, make
the best kind of cuttings. Do not crowd
the cutttings in the sand bed, or they
will probably lose lots of foliage.
When this happens, although the cut-
tings will make roots, the chances for
getting good plants are slim. See also
that your knife is sharp enough to
make a clean, even cut.

Water the bed well after inserting
the cuttings, and keep them shaded
until rooted. A light spraying once, or
perhaps twice, on bright days will keep
the wood and foliage fresh and give
just enough water to keep the sand
moist without its being clogged. The
temperature in the propagating house
should run the same as the houses in
which the roses are growing.

CARNATIONS IN THE SOUTH.

Begin Propagating Early.

To have well branched plants when
the southern planting-out time comes,
in March and April, it is necessary to
make an early start in the propagation.
I like to have the main batch of cut-
tings ready to come out of the sand
just as soon as the Christmas rush is
over. To have the cuttings well rooted
by that time, they ought to be in the
sand as early as possible. There is no
need of a special propagating house;
a side table in any of the carnation
houses will answer just as well. Pre-
pare the bed in about the same way
as for rose cuttings.

To have plenty of good cuttings at
this time, it is always necessary to
have a table or so planted with batches
of all the varieties wanted. Allow the

The Florists’ Review

flowering shoots to run up to bud; then
pinch it out and in a short time you
will have a wealth of fine cuttings.
Where this has not been done, you will
have to depend on the wood on the
flowering shoots of the plants you are
picking flowers from. These cuttings
are somewhat small yet, but will root
readily enough. Select only the, best
cuttings, from healthy stock. Cuttings
carefully severed from the stems need
not be touched with a knife, but can
be inserted in the sand as they are.
Water thoroughly at first; thereafter
keep the bed only well moistened. The
quantity of water will depend on the
quality of the sand, as coarse sand
takes a great deal more water than
sand of a fine grain. The cuttings
should be well rooted in thirty days.
They will need some shade the first
three weeks. Maintain a night tem-
perature of 50 to 52 degrees. L.

GIGANTEUMS IN ALABAMA.

When should Lilium giganteum bulbs
be planted in Alabama to secure blooms
at Easter? We sometimes have rather
warm weather in March and Easter next
year is unusually late. F, B.—Ala.

In Alabama, giganteum bulbs should
be planted as soon as they can be se-
cured from the dealer. There is noth-
ing gained by delaying the time for
planting. Early planting allows time
for making many roots by the time
forcing is needed. If you have not yet
planted your bulbs, lose no time in do-
ing so, and place them in a night tem-
perature of 50 degrees. A good place
for them at first is under a carnation
bench. About January 1 bring them
into a night temperature of 60 degrees.
In Alabama this probably will be all
the forcing needed. If you can see the
buds five weeks before Easter, you will
have them in flower on time, with a few
days to harden them off in a cool house.
You will have to increase your tempera-
ture at least 5 degrees to do this. These
plants will stand a night temperature of
75 degrees if needed to hurry them. I
have always found it wiser to push them
a little at the finish, as it is difficult to
hold them if they are too early. L.

COLD. WEATHER NOTES.

Protecting Hardy Roses.

The word hardy seems somewhat im-
proper when applied to roses in the open
air. Probably a better word would be
outdoor. Only a limited number of
roses, even in the hybrid perpetual
class, can be considered perfectly hardy
in the northerly states. Tie the shoots
of the individual plants up together;
then draw earth up to them to a depth
of at least six inches of the last sea-
son’s growth. Wood thus covered will
invariably come through the winter
fresh. As a general rule this protection
suffices for hybrid perpetuals, and in
the more favored states it answers well
for hybrid teas also, if a mulch of
strawy manure or leaves is added.
Where hybrid teas are likely to be
killed back badly, the best plan is to
dig up the plants and bury them in a
trench on any well drained ground.
This is far preferable to storing them
in a cellar. Coldframes may also be
used to store them in. Sometimes
climbers cannot be depended upon; in
this case it is a good plan simply to
lay them on the ground, after they

I should know it’s close upon us, though my calendar denied it,

That it means to strike a week ’fore Christmas day.

Protecting Miscellaneous Plants.

Bulb beds and borders should have a
mulch of leaves when the ground is
well frozen. ‘The aim should be to
keep this frost in the bed rather than
try to exclude it, as many are still at-
tempting to do. If bulb plantings are
covered while the land is soft, mice
and other rodents will raise havoc, and
in spring it will be found that the bulb
growths have pushed so far through
the leaves that the mulch cannot be re-
moved without breaking many growths.

Pansies, daisies, forget-me-nots, etc.,
in coldframes, need a coating of per-
fectly dry leaves. Place the sashes
over these, but, of course, give air on
all possible occasions. Outdoor pansies
will need a mulch of straw or leaves.

Hardy herbaceous perennials should
have a mulch, especially newly planted
ones that are not properly established;
use boards, brush or a scattering of lit-
tery manure. All herbaceous and al-
pine plants need a good mulch and now
is the time to apply it. All newly
planted deciduous trees and shrubs are
benefited by a mulch. . This, however,
will not save them. The manure on
the surface will leach down and do
good, but manure mixed with the soil

roots would do much more harm than
good.

Broad-leaved Evergreens.

Thousands of rhododendrons, laurels
and others of the broad-leaved ever-
green class died last spring, the cause
of death being, in practically all cases,
dryness at the root and not winter’s
severity. To make absolutely sure that
none of your plants are dry, draw a
ring around each plant and let the
hose run in it. Fill up more than once
if necessary. Treat all valuable ever-
greens in this way before the ground
freezes up, and spring losses will be
small. Give rhododendrons a liberal
mulch of leaves as soon as you are sure
none have dry feet. It is a common
blunder to give this mulch of leaves
before fall rains set in at all. The
leaves keep practically all rain from
the roots, and the owners in spring
will be found counting the number of
losses among the evergreens which had
been so liberally mulched.

Galesburg, Ill—wWalter Pillsbury, of
Pillsbury’s Flower Stores, reports the
autumn trade as the best for them in
four years. The plant business has
been particularly good. As a proof of
this, he says the firm is making prepa-
rations for the construction of three
houses, which will be devoted to pot
plants.

BLACK SPOTS ON ROSE LEAVES.

I am sending you a few leaves of
Killarney and American Beauty rose
plants, which seem to be affected by
some strange insect or disease. The
blooms of these are fine. Recently I
dusted the plants with sulphur to kill
mildew and also gave the plants a top-
dressing of rather fresh cow manure.
Do you think this treatment could have
caused the trouble? Kindly tell me
what the disease is and how to get rid
of it. W. H. R.—Pa.

The black spots on the foliage sent
me were caused by the application of
fresh manure. It is a fungus carried
up by the moist air, and has the ap-
pearance of soot sprayed over the
plants. The spots disappear in a few
days and do not seem to damage the
plants. No doubt the spots have dis-
appeared by this time. W. J. K.

ROSES FOR MAY FLOWERING.

I have received some roses which I
wish to have in bloom the last week
in May. They came in 2%-inch pots
and I have placed them in 4-inch pots.
They are greenhouse-grown stock of the
following varieties: Clothilde Soupert,
Countess of Shaftesbury, Coquette de
Lyon, Erna’ Teschendorff, Dorothy
Perkins and Crimson Rambler. They
show some signs of mildew and leaf-
spot. Should their leaves be stripped
off, and should the stems be dipped in
some sort of solution? What varieties
would you suggest to use in place of
the foregoing, and what is a good red
in the Soupert or C. de Lyon type?

G. A. E.—TIIl.

Roses such as you have, I am afraid,
will not give you many flowers at the
time referred to. Remember, the wood
now on the plants must produce the
flowers. How much wood have you on
your plants of sufficient strength to
produce flowers? The fact that the
foliage is mildewing is also against the
plants. If they are kept cold, such
foliage as they have should naturally
fall. If you want roses for May flow-
ering which are sure to give satisfac-
tion, do not depend on the small plants
you have, but buy some field-grown
stock and pot them up. With these
you are virtually certain of a good
crop of flowers. Keep the plants in a
cold pit or cellar; never mind if they
get a little frost. Place them in the
greenhouses about the middle of
March. If they are started at that

time, hard forcing will not be needed
to flower them.

The varieties you mention are good.
One or two others to be recommended
are: Tausendschon, Hiawatha, Mme.
Norbert Levavasseur, a red baby ram-
bler; White Dorothy; Baby Dorothy,
pink; Mrs. Cutbush, cerise pink, and
Leonie Lamesch. C. W.

HARD, UNDEVELOPED BUDS.

I am sending a rose plant under sepa-
rate cover. What is the reason for
the hardened buds and what is the rem-
edy? The trouble seems to spread, for
at first it appeared on only a bud or
two on each plant, but now whole
plants are affected. G. G.—Mich.

The rose branch was pretty well dried
up on arrival, as no provision had been
made to preserve it during shipment,
but it seemed to be a branch of Kais-
erin Augusta Victoria. This variety,
being strictly a summer rose, always
gets bull-headed as soon as cold weath-
er arrives, and the only way to prevent
this as long as possible is by keeping
the house warm during the fall, at a
temperature of 65 degrees at night and
75 to 80 degrees in the daytime. In
this way it is possible to cut fair flow-
ers until Christmas. After that time
it is advisable to let the plants rest
until about the middle of February,
when they may be started up for an-
other season by taking off part of the
soil, giving a good dressing of bone

meal and then placing on. tep of this
some soil and manure in -equal parts.
If the plants are in a house by them-
selves, the temperature may be allowed
to drop to the freezing point during the
time the plants are resting. This will
save fuel and harden the plants off, and
they will start more strongly when the
heat is applied again. W. J: K.

WINTER PROTE(TION OF ROSES.

We have several hundred rose bushes
planted out for summer blooming. We
have a piece of ground that is high and

sandy. Would this be a suitable place

in which to bury them. If so, would
it be necessary to have them below

frost? Any information will be ap-
preciated. M. B.—Ohio.
The location you mention should

winter the roses well. You can bury
them. Merely covering the shoots will
answer as well as burying them deeply.
You can mulch the surface with straw,
meadow hay, leaves or some other ma-
terial, which can be held in position
with brush or boards. This will ex-
clude nearly all the frost. Even if a
little reaches the shoots, it will not
harm them. O..'W.

THE CHAMP WEILAND ROSE.

The accompanying illustration shows
the house in which the new Champ
Weiland rose is growing at the estab-
lishment of Weilond & Risch, at Evans-
ton, Ill. The variety was registered
with the American Rose Society last
May, when the following description
was recorded as that of the intro-
ducers:

A sport of Killarney, originating in our estab-
lishment at Evanston, Ill., and under deepest
scrutiny for the last three seasons. Buds lar,
and full. Color a bright, clear, glistening pin
inner and reverse side of petals identical and
fadeless. More free than the parent and more
sweetly scented. Foliage remarkable, of a glow-
ing reddish character prevalent from planting
time to end of season. It may be said that this
rose represents a distinct advance in growth and
grandeur over any of its predecessors.

It is the belief of John Risch that
Champ Weiland will create a new
standard. The rose is certainly most
pleasing in color. Mr. Risch, whose
firm was the first to go into Killarney
extensively for the Chicago market,
says the Champ Weiland is more pro-
lific than Killarney or Killarney Bril-
liant, and far more sweetly scented.

BRANCH-ROT AND LEAF-SPOT.

I am sending you, under separate
cover, some carnation stems and leaves.
A great number of our plants are af-
fected in the way indicated by the sam-
ples. Please give us the name of the
disease and suggest a remedy.

E. G.—Ind.

Your carnations are affected with
what is known as branch-rot. There
are also a number of leaf-spots on the
foliage. For both of these you should
use practically the same remedy. Pick
off all the leaves showing these round
spots. Cut out all the branches that
seem to be dying. Then give the whole
bench a thorough spraying with Bor-
deaux mixture, getting it well into the
crown of the plants, as that is where
the branch-rot operates. A.F.J. B.

A READY PREY TO DISEASE.

We are sending you some samples of
carnation plants which are stunted and
unsatisfactory in growth and cracked
in the stems, and which seem to be suf-
fering from some sort of disease. Can
you tell us what is the matter and
what we can do for them?

J. 8. W. F. C.—TIa.

The submitted specimens show plainly
that they have not had a fair deal. The
cuttings may have been properly made,
but they appear to have been of the
long, many-jointed kind. Perhaps, also,
the leaves were pulled off carelessly
when the cuttings were being prepared
for the sand. They may have been
Pores when properly rooted, but more
ikely they were not. They appear to
have been allowed to become hard in
the sand; if not, they were allowed to
become hard and stunted in the small
pots. That made stem and bark hard,
and when they were either shifted into
larger pots or planted in the field, the
bark was not in condition to expand
with the swelling stem and therefore
it burst in places. These are the finest
possible opportunities for fungi to

lodge and that seems to have happened’

in your case.

You may expect plenty of trouble
from these plants before spring. I
would suggest that you spray them thor-
oughly with Bordeaux mixture or some
other good fungicide, getting right into
the crown of the plant with the nozzle.
Repeat the application every week or
so, for some time. Be careful to avoid,
as far as possible, atmospheric condi-
tions that would be favorable to the de-
velopment of fungous diseases.

A,B. J. B,

BLOOMS BECOMING SMALLER.

Until now our carnations have been
first-class and of large size, but they
seem to be getting smaller. We do not
think the soil needs fertilizing, as the
plants are healthy and strong. There

ANIONS

are numerous new shoots on every plant;
could these be the cause of the decrease
in the size of the blooms?

J. H. C.—Mich.

The fact that your carnation blooms
have been of good size and quality
would indicate that there is a lack of
nourishment, if the blooms are dimin-
ishing in size. Ordinarily, when carna-
tions are benched in August, in good,
rich soil, there should be little call for
extra feeding until after the holidays,
but that cannot be laid down as a hard
and fast rule. If your plants were
benched in July and have made a vig-
orous growth, they might appreciate a
little light feeding now. Expert grow-
ers begin light feeding as early as Octo-
ber or early November, and when this
is properly done it gives excellent re-
sults. There is great danger of over-

doing it at that time of the year and I
have refrained from advocating it gen-

erally for that reason. The danger is
not so much in giving too much at that
time as in not knowing when to stop,
as during the dark days of winter the
plants are easily surfeited.

I would suggest that you apply sheep
manure at the rate of a 3-inch potful
to the row, halfway across a 5-foot
bench. Dried blood is also a splendid
article to use applied in slightly smaller
quantities. A dose of each, a month
apart, might be just what your plants
want. After that you will have to be
guided by weather conditions and the
apparent needs of the plants. 5B,

A BAD CASE OF RUST.

I am enclosing some carnation leaves
which seem to be affected with rust.
Please tell me whether that is really
the trouble and also state what is the
best remedy. J. W.—Minn.

oo

Judging from the specimens sub-
mitted, you have a bad case of rust on '
your hands. The first thing to do is
to pick off the diseased leaves; then
spray with Bordeaux mixture, which I
have found valuable in checking this
disease. Dispense with overhead water-
ing or syringing, unless you find it nec-
essary in fighting spider. Give all the
ventilation consistent with weather con-
ditions and follow a moderate course of
culture. AV Pde B,

LEAF-BLIGHT ON GERANIUMS.
Under separate cover we are sending
you some leaves that were sent us by
one of our customers. Can you tell us
what is the trouble with them?
A. N. K.—Minn.

The canna leaf was so much dried up
that it was impossible to tell what had
affected it. The geranium foliage was
attacked by leaf-blight. This fungoid
growth, when it appears outside, is
usually caused by damp, muggy and
sunless climatic conditions. Dry, sunny
weather usually improves the plants.
If the trouble is serious, it may be
somewhat relieved by one or two spray-
ings of Bordeaux mixture or Fungine,
applied on a warm day when the fo-
liage is dry. Any badly diseased plants
would better be burned, to prevent the
trouble speading. C. W.

PROPAGATING OUTDOOR PLANTS.

Will you kindly describe the best
method of rooting field-grown geranium
cuttings? Would it be advisable to
give them a gentle bottom heat when
first put in sand? Any advice will be
appreciated. J. G. B— Mass.

Outdoor cuttings this season are un-
usually soft. After making them, let
them lie on a bench over night. They
may then look a little dry, but the dry-
ing out makes them less liable to damp

off. Cuttings do not need any bottom
heat at this season; in winter they pre-
fer it. Root them in clean, sharp sand.
Place them either in a cutting bench, or,
if preferred, in flats. The cuttings can
go in quite thickly. A flat 12x24
inches will contain 120 to 150 cuttings.
Soak after planting; then water only
moderately until the cuttings are
rooted. Pot off before the roots be-
come too long. Cc. W.

STEM-ROT ON GERANIUMS.

I am enclosing some rooted cuttings
of geraniums, many of which were rot-
ting above ground. Is this a conta-
gious disease? Can you suggest a
remedy? The cuttings are some I
bought. Those I have grown from my
own stock do not seem to be affected,
although the conditions are the same.

C. A. P.—Me.

I think the cause of the cuttings
damping off has been that they were
allowed to stand too long a period in
the cutting bench before reaching you
and the stem-rot probably developed
there. In potting up any of those
bought in cuttings, do not use soil
containing decayed manure unless it is
well rotted. Give the plants the full-
est light possible and water sparingly
until they are established. Avoid bury-
ing the stems, when potting, to any
greater depth than they had been in
the cutting bench. Cc. W.

AMERICAN-GROWN BULBS.

Experiments in Northern Tennessee.

The last season we carried further
our experiments in bulb growing at the
Hillcrest School Farm, where bulbs are
grown for the trade. Thanks to the
liberality of several of the seed houses,
we had a better assortment of bulbs
for these experiments than ever before.
The bulbs were not planted, with the
exception of a few, till after January
1, and, owing to the unusually dry win-
ter and spring, the season did not per-
mit a fair test. Yet there was such a
measure of success ‘as to enable us to
form conclusions which, we believe, will
be of value to the trade.

Last season’s results in the forcing
of home-grown bulbs add greatly to
the value of our experiments. We
planted approximately an acre and a
half of the bulbs commonly known as
Dutch, planting them on heavy, yellow
clay soil that had been manured well
with barnyard manure at least twice,
and used in gardening two or three
seasons. Part of the land had received
three annual dressings of manure and
so was in a reasonably good state of
fertility. Most of it would have been
classed as rather poor clay loam. One
small plot had been used as a dumping
place for both wood and coal ashes for
several years and had afterward been
well manured and tilled. The work was
done with the hope of demonstrating
that bulbs can be produced in this coun-
try at a profitable figure and yet com-
pete with imported stock. The experi-
ments have been carried on in a small
way for from five to seven years, but
not to any extent till the last two
years. Last season’s tests were more
than twice as extensive as previously.

The bulbs were all planted in drills,
much as we set onion sets, and the
rows were planted forty inches apart,
so as to allow horse cultivation in the
same way as with corn. The bulbs
planted were either surplus bulbs that
had deteriorated considerably, or were
small offsets broken from double-nosed
bulbs, and so would not have been sal-
able at any price. A few were bulbs
that we had grown two or more years,
selling each season the mature bulb and
planting the small offsets. Of course
these did better by far than the others.
A few were mature bulbs of our own
growing and were planted in September,
when all should have been planted to
give them a fair chance, and it is from
these that we feel warranted in draw-
ing our conclusions.

Early Hyacinth Blooms.

Five years ago we planted a few off-
sets in mixture, bulblets no larger
than a half-inch in diameter, taken in
the latter part of January from the base
of regular bulbs that were yet unsold.
These have matured into full-grown

bulbs and were forced or else bloomed
outdoors this season. In the house they
proved ten days to two weeks earlier
than imported stock and had as good
blooms. As we do not grow pot or
cut flowers commercially, of. course
these tests were of only a few pots and
hence the results were inconclusive.
Outdoor stock of this lot, and another
lot of about 500 Distinction planted
three years ago, not only bloomed fully
ten days before the imported stock, but
produced better spikes and more of
them.
The bulbs produced are not so beau-
tifully symmetrical as the imported
stock, probably because they were
grown in clay instead of sand, but they
are not diseased in any way. They are
of good size and as solid as any bulbs
we have ever seen. We have not fol-
lowed the Holland practices to cause
them to reproduce rapidly, but have al-
lowed them to increase naturally. We
are not yet convinced that they can
be produced cheaply enough to com-

pete with regular Holland-grown stock,
but we are convinced that they can be
grown successfully in this country, and
that where there is a market for the
blooms, or where it is desirable to get
bulbs that can be forced earlier than
the Holland stock, they can be grown
profitably.

For four years we have conducted a
small varietal test of something over
100 varieties and we find that many of
these lack vitality and do not take to
our climate and soil. Others seem per-
fectly at home here. Fortunately,
those that do the best here are among
the best for florists’ use.

We have grown tulips of all of the
races, or nearly so, and find they can

all be propagated here, but not with
equal ease and profit. The parrots and
the double earlies are the hardest to

' grow well-here, and we doubt whether

they can ever be profitably produced in
this part of the country. They divide
readily enough, but we have not yet
hit on a method of culture that brings
mature bulbs freely.

Varied Results from Tulips.

The single earlies do much better and
some of them are easily produced. We
believe that as soon as we learn their
requirements better, they can be made
profitable. We have not forced any of
them as yet and so are not prepared
to tell of their value to florists. For

~ bedders they are fully equal to im-

ported bulbs. — ;

Byblooms, breeders and Darwins,
with the newer Rembrandts, can all be
grown readily here and they seem to
increase rapidly without any special
treatment. They bloom earlier than
the imported stock. The bulbs are of
excellent size and appearance.

The cottage garden sorts, especially
the Gesnerianas, are the easiest of al}
to handle here. They seem to stand
any amount of neglect and will still
bloom and even increase. We have one
lot that have been planted in the grass
for five years and they are still bloom-
ing fairly well. Where cultivated they
increase rapidly and produce better
bulbs than the Holland-grown ‘stock.

Good Success with Narcissi.

Narcissi have constituted the greater
part of our stock for trial thus far, and
if there is any variety of these, out-
side of the polyanthus sorts, that is not
hardy enough to stand our winters or
that cannot be grown here as well as
abroad, we have not found it. In a
test we have grown nearly 200 varieties,
and all do well.

Emperor, Empress, Sir Watkin, prin-
ceps, Barrii conspicuus, the Poetaz va-
rieties, Golden Spur and the different
varieties of poeticus have been grown
long enough and in large enough quan-
tities to prove that they are a success
from every point of view, and that they
are both earlier and better for forcing
than stock produced in a colder and
more northern climate. Besides, they
can be ready to plant in June, thus in-
suring their earliness. In the latter
part of May we had already begun
digging the first bulbs, and in June
latest varieties were entirely dormant.

None of our bulbs have been given
the careful tillage they receive abroad,
and when they receive this the results
should be even better. It has been our
plan at first. to grow them under more
adverse circumstances, to be sure that
they were a success. We predict that
before many years a large part of the
bulbs that are used in this country will
be grown in America.

This year, for the first time, we gave

WADSWORTH’S INTENSITY.

Intensity still is hard to beat when a
crimson mum is wanted—as hard to
beat as the wearers of the Crimson
proved to be for the Blue this year-—
you know the trade in New England

grows Intensity for the followers of ~

Harvard’s eleven. William P. Marshall,
who sent the photograph reproduced on
this page, alleges that this house of
Intensity was so fine it was one of the
reasons why Harvard beat Yale in the
big final game this season and we must
concede him the point, because it is
certain most of the flowers were on the
grounds at the time play was called.

This house of Intensity was grown
by R. E. Wadsworth & Co., at North-
boro, Mass. The illustration will be of
interest, not only because it shows the
best all-round commercial mum of its
color, but because it shows that in
common with many other growers Wads-
worth & Co. had to deal with an unusu-
ally tall growth this season, probably
due to the cool summer.

MUMS IN THE SOUTHLAND.

Far south, on placid Tampa bay, Flor-
ida, chrysanthemums grow in the open
all the year round under a semi-tropical
sun. The grower in the southern part
of the Peninsula state is no respecter of
seasons. No need for greenhouses has
he. Mums can be propagated there at
little expense, but this does not indi-
cate that their culture in Florida is a
mere song—no trouble at all. As
everyone knows, the chrysanthemum is
a cool-growing plant and balks when
placed under a hot sun like that of
Florida. Moreover, the state abounds
with all manner of insects and pests,
the green fly and aphis being the most
destructive.

Arthur Dervaes, of Tampa, however,
has overcome the disadvantages attend-
ing the culture of mums in _ semi-
tropical Florida, and sends as proof of
his success a view of some of his mums
as they appeared in October. The il-
lustration is reproduced on page 48. In
his letter Mr. Dervaes states that ‘‘the
photograph was taken October 20, when
fifty per cent of the mums were in full
bloom, ready to be cut, and the remain-
der due a week or fifteen days later.
As can be seen in the picture, there
is no shortness of stem, for some of
the mums are as tall as my daughter,

results have been satisfactory. We are
sure that along the gulf coast these
bulbs can be produced as well as in
France. We shall give them another
and more extensive trial here next sea-
son..

To sum up, we believe that most of
the bulbs we are now importing from
Holland can be grown in the southern
half of the United States with profit.

Flora, who stands four feet six inches.
At the time of writing, November 5,
all the blooms have been cut and dis-

the last six months prices have ranged
from $2 to $3 per dozen.

‘¢From start to finish, everything is
done in the open. The insects and
plant diseases in Florida are numerous,
but by frequent sprayings of tobacco
extracts and clear water, the danger is
considerably diminished. We do not
have to build greenhouses, nor do we
need any heat, for there is always
plenty of: that, often too much,
in fact. We may not attain the per-
fection of bloom and foliage that the
growers of the north and east and west
do, but the queen of autumn flowers
certainly can be grown successfully in
the most southerly part of cotton land,
and at little expense.’’

CHRYSANTHEMUM ALICE DAY.

Among the new mums staged by
C. H. Totty at the fall shows were an
unusual number of sports. Of chief
interest, of course, was the yellow
sport of William Turner, on account
of the showing its parent has made.
This variety is identical in every re-
spect with the parent, the only differ-
ence being in color, which is a light
yellow. If the color was a little deeper
it would be better and, as often hap-
pens, in this case doubtless in a year or
two the deeper color will manifest it-
self. Others of his set were a white
sport of Wells’ Late Pink, that has
been called Elvia Scoville, and a blush-
white sport of Patty.

A commercial variety that was cer-
tificated by the C. S. A., both in New
York and Philadelphia, is Alice Day, a
white of good form and absolutely
pure in color. It is said every bud
produces a perfect flower and it comes
in from October 10 to 20. It is a
seedling raised in Oregon and there-
fore can qualify without any hyphen,
under the heading of ‘‘ Pure American.’’

CALANTHE VEITCHII.

Will you please give me full cultural
directions for Calanthe Veitchii, stat-
ing what material to use for potting,
the temperature required, when and
how long they should be rested and
when they flower? P. V.—Pa.

Calanthe Veitchii flowers in Decem-
ber and January. If kept in a mod-
erately cool house, the flowers may re-
main in good condition until nearly the
end of February. After flowering, the
plants should be kept in a warm, dry
place until signs of growths appear at
the bases of the last season’s bulbs,
when the bulbs should be placed in flats
of sharp sand with some finely chopped
moss mixed with it, and started in a
warm, moist house. Spray lightly once
a day, but do not water the sand unless
it gets quite dry. As soon as the roots
start to push out, potting must be done.
One good-sized bulb is sufficient for a
5-inch pot; three will go in a 7-inch
half pot or deep pan.

A suitable compost consists of one-
half fibrous loam with the finer particles
shaken out, one-fourth dried cow
manure and one-fourth lumpy peat,

coarse sand and broken charcoal. This
insures’ a porous compost. Firm the
bulbs well in the pots or pans. Water
eng until the roots are active,
then gradually increase the supply.
When the pots are full of active roots,
apply liquid cow manure once a week.
Reduce the water supply as the leaves
start to decay and keep them quite dry
while in bloom. Calanthes need a brisk
heat, not below 60 degrees at any time,
and in summer it can run up to 90 or
100 degrees. They dislike violent
changes in temperature and do their
best when a little fire heat, just suffi-
cient to warm the pipes, can be given

what order it belongs. I have been
calling it a periwinkle.

The plant is a variety of impatiens.
As no flowers were enclosed, I cannot
tell which variety it is, but probably it
is Sultani. According to some botanists,
this belongs to the natural order
Geraniacee, but others place it in Bal-
saminacese. The name impatiens, Latin
for impatient, was undoubtedly given
to these plants on account of the
tendency of the ripe seed pods to fly
open and scatter their contents when
touched. Cc. W.

course, good bulbs are produced when
this is not done.

MEALY BUG ON FERNS.

What will kill mealy bug on ferns?
We have about 5,000 Bostons, Roose-
velts, etc. We got them only lately.
Most of the plants are free from bugs,
while others have three or four in the
tips of the fronds. We do not know
where we got them, but they are here.

T. J.—Pa.

Dipping or spraying with nicotine
solution is the best remedy for mealy
bug on ferns; the solution to consist of
one part of forty per cent nicotine to
500 parts of water, by measure.

If the plants are in pots, dipping
would be the most satisfactory treat-
ment, the plants to be laid down on the
bench after the dip, so as to prevent
the solution from draining down into
the soil; also that they may be pro-
tected from the sun for at least twenty-
four hours. If the stock is planted out,
it would be necessary to depend upon
spraying, this method being less satis-
factory, however, from the fact that it
is more difficult to reach all the insects
and that it would probably require
several sprayings to get the desired re-
sult. W.H, T:

The Market.

Conditions up to December 4 were
fair, with a good supply. The end of
the week was featured by a heavy de-
mand for the better grades of stock for
the first ‘‘Monday German,’’ the for-
mal opening of- the .social season in
this city. The demand for stock was
confined to the usual line, such as Beau-
ties, valley, cattleyas, fancy roses and
novelties. Beauties were fairly plenti-
ful and sold well. Valley was in good
demand and cattleyas sold well, even at
a high figure. The rose supply was
hardly sufficient. Fancy red roses were
in special demand, as were fancy pink
and white. Killarney was plentiful
but rather off color. Novelties in col-
ors, such as Ophelia, Ward.and Sweet-
heart, all were in good demand.

There was an unsupplied demand for
gardenias, but few of good quality were
to be had. Peas sold well, but there
was not a large supply. Violets were
only in average demand. Cypripedi-
ums were slow movers, even at a low
figure. The mum crop is_ getting
smaller in size, quantity and demand.
There was a surplus of white. Other
colors sold up fairly well, but prices
were nothing fancy. The supply of

large enough to supply the demand.

Various Notes.

Mrs. Elizabeth Lehr, wife of Wil-
liam F. Lehr, a retired florist, died
at the home of her daughter, 19 East
Twenty-first street, December 3, at the
age of 84 years. Mrs. Lehr was the
mother of William G. and Henry Lehr,
both well known members of the local
trade. The funeral ‘services were held
December 6 and interment was in Cedar
Hill cemetery, close to her former home
in Anne Arundel county.

C. E. Akehurst & Sons have recently
put in service a handsome delivery
truck of large capacity. The body has
paneled sides and is finished in olive
green. It is used between the firm’s

eenhouse establishment at White
farsh and this city, and is the best ap-
pearing truck in the service of the
trade.

Pierce & Co. report a brisk business
for the German. Novelties, both in
flowers and arrangements, were fea-
tured by them. Bouvardia, yellow
marguerites and cornflowers were some
of the novelties used. A light delivery
car with special body was recently put
in service.

Samuel Feast & Sons had a heavy de-
mand for Beauties and cattleyas, as
well as for the more staple P wialatien

E. <A. Seidewitz is u many

John Cook had a heavy business on
roses and valley for the German. Some
good Francis Scott Key are being cut.

Henry Bestér, of Hagerstown, was a
recent visitor.

The Hamilton Flower Shop is show-
ing some good cut poinsettias, some of
the bracts measuring fourteen to fif-
teen inches across.

Mrs. Charles Klutch, aged 41 years,
died at her home on Gittings avenue
December 1, after a short illness o
pneumonia. She is survived by her
husband and six children. The funeral
services were held December 3 from
her home and were largely attended.
A large number of handsome floral of-
ferings were received, which speaks
well for the esteem in which she was
held by her many friends.

Mrs. M. P. Johnston, in addition to
having a good share of the trade for
the German, was called on to decorate
the private car of President Williard
of the Baltimore & Ohio railroad, for
the conveyance to New York of the
body of Vice-president Bacon, who died
December 2 in a local hospital. Palms
were used extensively in connection
with cut mums.

The next club meeting will be held
December 13. Many interesting topics
will be up for discussion and it is
hoped every member will be on hand.

ROCHESTER, N. Y.

The Market.

Business was good last week, follow-
ing, as it did, a brisk Thanksgiving
trade. Colder weather has set in and
conditions appear more seasonable.
This should have a good effect on trade
in general. According to the local
growers, flowers for Christmas will be
fairly plentiful, excepting carnations,
which are shortening in quantity.
There is a great quantity of mums on

WHO'S WHO_ AND WHY

FRED BREITMEYER.

HERE are a lot of reasons why Fred Breitmeyer is ‘‘who’’ in the trade. In

the first place, perhaps, is the fact that he is proprietor of one of the oldest

and probably the largest greenhouse establishment in the state of Michigan. And,
at this time when Carnation Philadelphia is making good, there is the fact that
he was one of the three men who pinned their faith in that variety, invested

their money and won out.

But the fact that counted first of all was that he is

one of the sons of John Breitmeyer, a brother of Philip, and a good fellow. Few
florists visit Detroit without calling at the Breitmeyer store and running out to

Mt. Clemens on the interurban for a look at the Breitmeyer greenhouses.
what makes a man ‘‘who’’ in this trade.

the market, especially in yellow, and
it is hard to move them. They are sold
at the buyer’s figure. Good Yellow
Eaton, Timothy Eaton, Patty, Pacific
Supreme, Golden Queen and Bonnaffon
are seen. The rose supply was some-
what heavier than that of the week
previous and it satisfied all demands.
Ophelia, Sunburst, Ward and Francis
Scott Key are of fine quality and each
variety possesses good foliage. The de-
mand for violets is increasing a little.
They are good and fragrant. Orchids
and gardenias are not prominent. Val-
ley is extra good and plentiful. Bou-
vardia is slackening up some, but sells
easily. Mignonette is large and good
and is found useful in basket work
together with yellow and white daisies,
which are plentiful. Paper White nar-
cissi are coming in now and sell well.
Roman hyacinths are here and sell
nicely. Carnations are good and are
good sellers, but they are becoming
scarcer. Easter and calla lilies are

That’s

scarce, but there is not much call for
them.

Potted plants sell well and a good ecol-
lection is found, including begonias,
Romans, primulas, cyclamens, poinset-
tias, etc. Ferns and palms have been
selling unusually well.

Various Notes.

Sincere sympathy is extended to
Ransford W. Wilson in the loss of his
wife, whose death occurred suddenly
November 28, at the age of 36. A baby
boy was born two weeks previously and
both mother and child were doing well.
The end came suddenly and unexpect-
edly. The funeral took place from the
home, 825 Hudson avenue, December 1,
and interment was made at Mount Hope
cemetery. There were many beautiful
flower pieces, which included those from
the three stores and from several of the
florists.

H.’'E. Wilson has placed a new counter
icebox in his store, which will be used
exclusively for roses.

The Rochester Floral Co. had a unique
window decoration for the week end.
It advertised flowers by telegraph by
means of telegraph poles strung with
wires from each corner of the window.
In the background was a map of the
United States, with ribbons attached
from a small:sign bearing the name
of the company. Several original tele-
grams and night letters were shown.

WASHINGTON, D. C.

The Market.

The first week of the new month
opened well. Business shows a contin-
ued though slight improvement, for
November was satisfactory. The cold
weather has curtailed stock to some ex-
tent and while there are more than
enough chrysanthemums to fill all or-
ders, the supply has slackened up and
better prices prevail for good stock.
Cattleyas are again to be had in small
quantities. The price remains at from
$7.50 to $9 per dozen. Roses and car-
nations clean up well daily. The for-
mer are now bringing from $3 per hun-
dred up, with a marked scarcity of
stock in the cheaper grades. There has
been a large amount of wedding and
society work of a high grade, calling
for large supplies of roses. Hadley,
Mock, Moorfield Storey, Sweetheart,
Radiance and American Beauty have
been in heavy demand and good prices
have prevailed on choice stock. Amer-
ican Beauty roses are bringing from $3
to $5 per dozen. Both the local and
northern crops are excellent.

Gardenias are improving both as to
size and quantity, and are in good de-
mand. There is an oversupply of double
violets and while the prices on these
and the good single violets of local pro-
duction are quoted at from 60 cents to
$1 per hundred, yet doubles are to be
had in large quantities at far below
the former price. Valley has been
selling well. Paper Whites have made
their appearance. Sweet peas are being

réceived in larger quantities and move
fairly well.

Various Notes.

The announcement of the desire of
President Wilson that no gifts be sent
on the occasion of his marriage to Mrs.
Edith Bolling Galt will mean that the
florists of Washington will lose the
large amount of business which would
ordinarily result from such an event.
It is said to have been the intention of
the Latin-American diplomats, the
heads of embassies and legations to ac-
company their letters of congratulations
to Mrs. Galt with flowers. This mode
of recognition was carried out to a
large extent on the occasion of the mar-
riage of Miss Jessie W. Wilson. At that
time the attaches of the White House

A Kottmiller Creation.

faced a problem as to what to do with
the large pieces that were sent.

The big float of the Gude Bros. Co.
was one of the features of the parade
held in connection with electrical pros-
perity week in Washington. A plat-
form twenty feet in length was built on
a motor truck. The bottom of the truck,
including the wheels, was covered with
colored bunting and from the front of
the machine there was an arch, covered
with flowers which extended over the
entire platform. That part of the truck
back of the chauffeur’s seat was used
to advertise the firm’s telegraph busi-
ness. Two poles were set up with wires
stretched between them. On the plat-
form were a number of boxes, some of
which were open at the ends, showing
the contents. A double sign visible
from both sides of the machine read,
‘“Flowers by Telegraph Everywhere,’’
while another sign stood easel fashion
above the space between the chauffeur’s
and footman’s seats, and bore the name
and address of the concern and its crest.
All of the signs were of blue glass and
electrically illuminated. The float was
not entered in competition, but the firm
was awarded honorable mention and a
letter to that effect was sent it by the
committee of judges.

Another attractive float was that en-
tered by J. H. Small & Sons. One of

their large delivery wagons was
trimmed with bunting and roses and
carnations. The truck was outlined
with miniature electric lights and
strings of these were hung in festoons
among the flowers.

A large number of Philadelphians
were among the visitors in Washington
last week. Those seen at the, stores
were I. Rosnosky, representing the H.
F. Michell Co.; James F. Smith; Joseph
J. Goudy, rOpseneer ne Henry A. Dreer,
Ine.; 8S. H. Bayersdorfer.

George L. Freeman, of Fall River,
Mass., called on a number of the trade
last week. Mr. Freeman states that
this has been a good year with him and
that his business in the west has been
satisfactory.

Miss Frances Kingsbury, who is em-
ployed at the F street store of Fred H.
Kramer, was declared the winner of
the beauty contest held at Laurel, Md.,
of which place she is a resident, and as
a result is wearing a handsome watch,
the prize offered in the contest by the
Mount Rainier, Md., Times.

The Gude Bros. Co. had the decora-
tive work incident to the national con-
vention of gas men at Hotel Willard
last week. The eighty-one booths were
decorated with flowers and there were
a like number of vases, which were re-
filled daily, alternately with Glory
of Cincinnati begonias and pink cycla-
mens, Large quantities of chrysanthe-
mums, a number of standards of Amer-
ican Beauty roses and huge palms com-
pleted the display. On the night of
the reception there was sent to each
lady who accompanied a delegate, and
there were 151, a box of specimen Tim-
othy Eaton and Nonin chrysanthemums.

FLOWERS FOR THE FAMOUS.

Now that the grand oper& and con-
cert seasons are in full blast in the
larger cities of the country, some of
the luckier florists will be commissioned
to make up bouquets for admirers of
the performing artists. An evening at
the opera rarely passes without some
of the vocalists being the gracious re-
cipients of bouquets.

A Gotham florist, who mixes brains
with his business and is highly appre-
ciative of originality in designs, re-

cently was commissioned to prepare a

decoration for an ardent admirer of
Josef Stransky, the distinguished vio-
linist of the Metropolitan Grand Opera
organization. Our craftsman put on his
thinking cap and produced an arrange-
ment that was distinctive because of
its beauty and peculiar fitness as a gift
to a master of the violin. The design
is illustrated on this page.

The piece was nine feet high and
created a sensation in the auditorium
when it was presented to the artist. As
can be seen in the picture, the decora-
tion consisted of a horn of plenty, made
of gold leaves. The mouth of the cornu-
copia was filled with 300 roses of all
colors. This part of the decoration was
further embellished by broad silk rib-
bon, on which ‘‘Josef Stransky’’ and
the date of the occasion were richly em-
broidered. The master touch of the
artist-florist, however, is in the violin
shown at the right and below the horn
of plenty. This was made of bronze
pompons and small yellow roses. The
violin strings and bow were not for-
gotten by the designer, who was Adolph
Kottmiller.

flowers sold well. The demand for red
carnations was heavy. Florists are be-
ginning to realize that with the aid of
advertising, Thanksgiving business can
be made to pay unusually well. The

and was in charge of decorations for

NOTES AND COMMENTS

Greenville, 8S. C—The Graceland
Greenhouses, which are owned by the
Greenville Cemetery Association and
take their name from their location op-
posite Graceland cemetery, are devel-
oping a considerable wholesale business,
especially in ferns. J. Melvin Clark is
the mana 4 director of the corpora-
tion and F. F. Gilliam the manager of
the greenhouse department.

Champaign, IlL—C. F. Swayger has
been made head of the gardening de-
partment of the Illinois Central rail-
road. The I. C. has just finished re-
building four large greenhouses. The
site on which they formerly stood has
been leased to the Alexander Lumber
Co., which will erect storage houses
thereon. The removed greenhouses
have been set on brick foundations and
furnished with an entirely new heat-
ing system. The I. C. also has a green-
house in Louisville, Ky., in charge of
George Hillebrand, division gardener.

tricks of your trade?’’ said Mr. Slowe,
with considerable heat. ‘‘Do you think
I have run a florist’s business for
twenty years for nothing?’’

‘“Well,’’ replied the solicitor, calmly,
‘‘T shouldn’t be at all surprised.’’

Results bring advertising.
The Review brings results.

Ir is time for the growers to begin to
figure on what they will plant for next
season.

THE man who follows mums with sweet
peas wastes valuable time if he does not
have his peas started in pots.

Don’r put the chrysanthemum stock
plants ‘‘any old place’’ and expect best
results from next season’s propagation.
Give the stock plants a chance.

CoNDITIONS today are quite different
from a year ago. Then the future was
regarded with uncertainty; today there
is general confidence and a big Christmas
business is regarded as assured.

GLADIOLUS blooms have appeared in the
wholesale markets much earlier than
usual this season and large quantities are
nearly ready to cut. It looks as tnough
the gladiolus may have joined the sweet
pea as an all-the-year flower.

Those who are interested in the con-
tinued growth of The Review will note
that this is the largest Christmas Num-
ber thus far issued. For its printing
12,480 pounds of paper were required,
or six and a quarter tons!

EXTREMELY high prices do not make
for a large volume of flower sales, but
living prices for the florist are not neces-
sarily high prices when viewed from the
standpoint of the public. General con-
ditions seem to warrant a concerted ef-
fort on the part of the trade to put all
prices on a profit-making basis.

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.

GENERAL BUSINESS IS BOOMING.

Business in the United States last
week, measured by the number and
amount of checks drawn on banks,
reached a greater pitch of activity than
was ever before experienced.

Reports from all sections of the coun-
try telling of freight blockades on the
railroads, enormous output of factories,
mines and mills, and liberal purchases
in advance of the Christmas holidays,
established a pretty general tale of
prosperity every day, but it remained
for December 4, when returns were com-
piled of the summary of checks drawn
on banks and passing through clearing
houses, to show that the immense vol-
ume of trade had increased the drawing
of checks to an unparalleled amount.

The total clearings for the country
last week, according to the Financial
Chronicle, were $4,936,000,000. More
than half these clearings were at New
York city, with $2,620,000,000. Chicago
showed the next largest total, with
$318,000,000. -

In comparison with every other week
of American history, the checks drawn
showed an increase. The gain over a
year ago equaled sixty per cent. At
New York the increase was nearly 100
per cent, owing to important financial
operations.

With general business so prosperous
there is no question that the people will
buy flowers. |

BOSTON GETS GLADIOLIANS.

sery laborers, male, 8,645; female, 272.

IMMORTELLES.

The steamer from Marseilles that ar-
rived at New York November 28
brought 178 cases of immortelles, 95
cases for H. Bayersdorfer & Co., 8 cases
for the S. S. Pennock-Meehan Co., 63
cases for the M. Rice Co., and 12 cases
consigned to a forwarder.

GOLDFISH AND BIRDS.

Among the scarce items this year,
which interest an increasing number
of retail florists, are goldfish and
canaries. It has been several seasons
since the supply of goldfish has been
large enough to call for an effort to
dispose of them and this year the war
has reduced the supply of canaries. The
best houses handle,only imported stock,
of German origin, and one of the larg-
est dealers states that the supply in
America today is not more than twenty-
five per cent as large as it usually is
at this date. The matter is of interest
in the trade because so many retail
florists found fish and then birds appro-
priate and profitable side lines.

THIS WEEK’S COVER.

The Review’s special number covers
almost always are a subject of admiring
comment. The first question asked usu-
ally is, ‘‘Who is she?’’ but the second
thought commonly is, ‘‘Where do you
get so many pictures of pretty girls
with flowers appropriate to the sea-
son?’’ Perhaps no cover has made a
greater hit than did the one on the
Autumn Number, showing the , movie
star, Lillian Walker, visiting a sub-
scriber’s greenhouse; so with this
Christmas Number the second of the
screen favorite series is presented. It
will obviate all necessity for the inter-
rogation as to the lady’s identity, as
nearly all readers will recognize Mary
Pickford as readily as they will recog-
nize her roses, the most popular variety
for Christmas gifts. ‘‘Where do you
get them?’’ Well, as for that, it is pop-
ular report that Miss Pickford is the
highest salaried person in the United
States, so it can be left to the readers
to imagine the fabulous sum that in-
duced her to pose for the picture.

CHICAGO,

The Market.

Under the stimulus of the continued
cold weather and its attendant effects,
such as increased demand and decreased
supply, the Chicago market is extremely
active. There is practically nothing
with the exception of Easter lilies that
does not move in a satisfactory way.
The shipping business is more than usu-
ally brisk, and the scramble to secure,
for out-of-town orders, some variety
in particularly strong demand is ex-
tremely keen. The natural winter crav-
ing for life and color is markedly mani-
fest in the call for flowers, red being
the first choice in everything.

Choice Beauties are enjoying a good
demand. In fact, everything in the
way of a rose has been clearing during
the last week. Some varieties, how-
ever, have cleared more rapidly than
others. Russell, Milady, Richmond,
Killarney Brilliant and Killarney have
been too short to fill all orders. Milady
and Richmond in particular have been
in great demand. Ophelia, Sunburst
and Hillingdon have sold well. The
shorter grades have had the first call
in all varieties. White roses, though
not enjoying the popularity of the
bright ones, have yet moved unusually
well.

Carnations, which were in such abun-
dant supply a week ago as to create
a condition bordering on glut, have
performed a right-about-face and now

are not only clearing, but are in some
varieties too short to meet the demand.
As early as December 4, red carnations
were at a premium. Now, orders re-
quiring them are filled short as a matter
of course.

Mums are still in the market and are
selling well, but their numbers and
appearance plainly indicate that the
end of their season is upon them. Pom-
pons are practically done for, though
still available in moderate quantities.
Violets have recovered wonderfully in
the last week and both double and sin-
gle are clearing satisfactorily. Valley
is not scarce, but it is not more than
sufficient to meet the demand. Gladioli
and snapdragons are also making a good
showing. Mignonette, too, is growing
in favor. Sweet peas of excellent qual-
ity have little difficulty in selling at a
fair price. Cattleyas remain scarce and
in strong demand. Poinsettias have ap-

eared and sell well. Easter lilies alone

ave failed to reach the buyers with
their appeal and the large supply only
serves to aggravate the case.

Mistletoe has made its appearance on
the market. Plumosus, Sprengeri and,
in fact, all varieties of greens are prov-
ing good property these days.

The flowers for which it is most diffi-
cult to realize old-time prices are those
principally used for corsage bouquets.
It seems that fewer flowers than usual
are being worn at the opera, for the in-
creased call heretofore felt at the open-
ing of the opera season has not mani-
fested itself this year.

time to foot up the November totals
and make comparisons, it appears that
the month makes a showing almost as
good as did October. While the in-
crease is not so good in percentage, in
many cases it was about as good in
dollars, November ordinarily being a
much bigger month than October. The
month was in most cases the best No-
vember thus far recorded.

Taking October and November to-
gether, this market has only cause for
satisfaction. In general, business has
been the best ever known for the cor-
responding sixty days, not only beating
last year’s record but also that of 1913,
which heretofore has stood as high-
water mark.

Christmas Prospects.

The prospect for Christmas has be-
come the principal subject for conver-

sation in the market. There is no doubt
that a large demand is to be met, a
demand that nearly everyone expects
will be larger than ever before.

The consensus of opinion is that there
will be an adequate supply of stock.
Of course there will not be enough red,
but if there were there surely would be
too much white. Beauties will not be
so plentiful as in other years, but prices
are to be started lower. On the other
hand, there will be many times the
quantity of long Russell, to take the
place of medium Beauties and at a
lower price. The wholesalers nearly all
have come to the conclusion that, with
so many cut flowers and, especially, so
many pot plants as in recent years, the
Christmas prices of roses have been too .
high and they are booking orders, ex-
cept for certain varieties, at lower
prices for the same goods or giving bet-

ter goods for the same prices. It is
hoped in this way to make a better
average. The same is true of carna-
tions, of which the supply is expected
to at least equal last year and much
exceed that of two years ago.

Cattleyas will be the only short item.
The miscellaneous flowers’ always are
abundant unless a shortage develops in
one or more of the big staple items. -

Of plants it seems quite certain the
supply will be the largest ever. All
the growers have their houses full and
the weather has been such as to assist
in getting them into fine shape. Many
already have placed a large part of
their stock.

Greens will not cut so much figure as
usual, good holly and lycopodium being
scarce.

Various Notes.

Commenting on the business situation,
E. C. Amling says the attitude of the
trade is just the opposite of a year ago:
Then everyone was cautious, whereas
today buyers are not afraid. Manager
Michelsen says the Amling concern in
the first sixty days of its business year,
from October 1 to December 1, in-
creased its sales a little more than $30,-
000 as compared with the same period
of last year.

Another store has been opened at
Ninety-second street and Commercial
avenue by Sullivan Bros., 871 East
Sixty-third street.

The family of Emil Buettner are do-
ing their social duties via a new Mar-
mon limousine that in the garage occu-
pies the place of the Rambler that had
made its hundred thousand miles. For
lighter use Mr. Buettner has a Haynes
touring car.

Among those who think Mrs. Russell
the finest rose that ever happened one
should not count E. Wienhoeber. While
acknowledging its merit when perfect,
Mr. Wienhoeber says it shows unfa-
vorable weather conditions more than
most roses, turns blue quickly and fails
to open if cut in other than the right
stage of development. He says the
public buys the rose, all right, but notes
the tendency to turn blue and any
failure to open.

That the returns on American Beauty
in the Chicago market have been stead-
ily growing less and less for years is
the showing made by the figures kept
by Albert F. Amling, who declares he
believes it has come to a point where
it no longer pays to grow Beauty. But
his company will not drop it just yet.

A retail store is to be opened at 1239
North Clark street by Victor Young.
Mr. Young at one time was manager of
the Clark street store of the Geo. Witt-
bold Co. and more recently was with

Fred Ronsley, in the Westminster build-
ing. The fittings for the new shop will
be designed and manufactured by Buch-
binder Bros., of Circassian walnut with
art glass.

It will take a really good white car-
nation to displace Matchless, according
to N. J. Wietor, who says the houses
of it show up particularly well just now
at the establishment of Wietor Bros.

It is the belief of Erne & Klingel
that the carnation is not so popular as
a few years ago. To restore it, Charles
Erne believes growers and retailers
should strive to improve the keeping
quality, so that the public always will
get satisfaction.

Those interested in the Meyer &
Dramm Co., Elmhurst, are all smiles
these days. The reason is that the com-
erred has just begun to cut a crop of

illarney Brilliant that is expected to
make December the best month in the
history of the concern.

A new telephone switchboard is be-
ing installed in the store of the A. L.
Randall Co., the capacity of the old one
having been reached.

Red carnations were planted in larger
quantity than usual this season at the
Peter Reinberg establishment, the vari-
eties numbering four: Beacon, Cham-
pion, The Herald and Blameuser’s new
one, Joy. At the greenhouses Cham-
pion, a Dorner production, is thought
especially well of, but Felix Reichling,
at the store, says The Herald is gain-
ing many friends among out-of-town
buyers because of exceptional keeping
qualities.

The range of the National Plant &
Flower Co., S. Freund, secretary, will
be thoroughly remodeled in the spring
and, if Christmas and Easter business
comes up to expectations, more glass
will be added during the summer. This
was the C. V. Abeele place, at Sixty-
first and Throop street.

A switchboard and five telephones
will in the future facilitate the rapid
conduct of business in the office and
store of the John Kruchten Co. Two
sound-proof telephone booths have been
installed in the salesroom.

It is unfortunate that the regular meet-
ing of the Chicago Florists’ Club falls
on the same night as the bowling tour-
nament in which the club’s team partic-
ipates, December 9, but Captain Allie
Zech has good hopes of creditable
scores, even though the team works
without its rooters.

The gies rose has many boosters
among the growers in and about Chi-
eago. One of the most enthusiastic is

Fred Hoerber, of Hoerber Bros. He
thinks Ophelia is here to stay, for its
delicate coloring renders it a popular
flower with the buying public, and
it has proved itself a prolific variety
and a good shipper for his house.

The directors of the Chicago Flower
Growers’ Association will hold their
first meeting in the association’s new
quarters in the Le Moyne building,
December 14.

The Richmond rose has found another
stanch champion in the person of
Philip C. Schupp, manager of the J. A.
Budlong wholesale cut flower house.
For this time of the year he thinks its
color is better than Beauty, and, in
fact, it has no other rival in his af-
fections than Milady rose.

December 3. They went to the E. G.
Hill Co., Richmond, to be used, so Bas-
sett & Washburn understand, on orders
for export to Europe. C. L. Washburn
is well pleased with the reception the
variety has received at the many shows
to which it has been sent, and with the
way mail orders for cuttings have been
coming in.

Daniel Branch, 313 East Fifty-first.

street, has invented a non-oil-leaking
cylinder ring for use in gasoline en-
gines. He has not yet put it on the
market, but fills a special order now and
then. The rings are made in his shop
back of the greenhouses.

C. W. McKellar indicates his belief
that December will be the best month
this market ever has known.

The number of estimates being made
has compelled the American Green-
house Mfg. Co., in the Masonic Temple,
to secure a large additional room for its
drafting department. P. L. McKee was
at Redfield, Mich., last week and took
an order from A. J. Stahelin for 800
boxes of glass for the new house to be
built this season. The company is rap-
idly assembling the material at May-
wood for the Amling contract, which
has been increased to cover the com-
plete range and service building, all
except the boilers, for which Kroeschell
Bros. Co. has the contract, as reported
last week.

In the future, Poehlmann Bros. Co.
will propagate its own rubber plants,
according to August Poehlmann. The
company recently has received a large
shipment of French hydrangeas. Its
Cattleya Trianz are in fine crop for
Christmas.

At Winterson’s Seed Store the annual
job of winding green and making holly
wreaths has been started.

To judge from the facial expressions
of John and Joseph Ziska, Jr., of Joseph
Ziska & Sons, there is nothing like be-
ing on the right side of a stiffening
market. It is all in keeping one eye
on the indicator when buying, they say.

Visitors.

C. W. Ward was in town several days
last week, on his way to his home at
Eureka, Cal., going via New Orleans.
His new Cottage Gardens at Eureka
soon will be as famous as the older one
at Queens, and perhaps much in the
same way, for Mr. Ward plans further

PHILADELPHIA.
The Market.

The week ending December 8 was
active in the main, with a decidedly
smaller supply of flowers. It began
badly. The first snow of the season,
December 2, appeared to take the life
out of business, but the demand im-
proved after that day and conditions
now are much better. A comparison
with business of last year is favorable,
but business is hardly so brisk as it
was two years ago at this time.

Carnations are decidedly scarce. The
best flowers have advanced in price, as
every wholesaler in the city feels the
smaller supply. Those who had heavy
stocks of chrysanthemums after Thanks-
giving have worked them off; today it
is difficult to get orders filled in full
unless they are placed in advance. Even
the late varieties are nearly over with
most of the growers, although there
will be some mums throughout this
month.

Roses are increasing in supply; they
sell well. The standard varieties go
best in the short and medium grades.
The novelties are the reverse of this,
the fancy grades bringing fancy prices.
Cattleyas are much more plentiful, of
course at lower prices. Triange is com-
ing into full crop. Cypripediums are
plentiful. Easter lilies have been sell-
ing well and there is activity in valley.
Violets go rather slowly. Snapdragon
has improved, a little long-stemmed
stock being offered. Bouvardia and
mignonette are popular, while greens
have become a staple with every buyer.

The affirmative was assigned to Charles
H. Grakelow, admittedly one of our
leading lights in debate; the negative
to W. F. Therkildson. After a lively
debate, the club voted it best not to
depend absolutely on the retailer, but
to help him create a demand for the

reduce the initiation fee, but the advo-

The New Twelve-Twenty.
Bids have been asked for the erection

of a large building on the south side of
Spring Garden street, west of Twelfth
street. It will occupy the site of three
buildings, Nos. 1220, 1222 and 1224.
The new building is to be of concrete,
six stories high and a basement. It
will have a 54-foot front, be 100 feet
deep and have about eighty feet of up-
right handsome appearance. The ground
has been purchased and the building
will be erected by Bernard Eschner, for
the M. Rice Co. This is made necessary
by the rapid growth of the M. Rice Co.
business in florists’ supplies, and will
give the company three times its pres-
ent space and, as Mr. Eschner claims, it
will be the finest florists’ supply build-
ing in the world when completed. No-
vember, Mr. Eschner says, was the
largest month in the M. Rice Co. his-
tory, due, he thinks, to the success of
its made-in-America goods. It is hoped
that the new building will be completed
by next summer. There is a bit of
sentiment about the number, 1220, that
being the number of the present build-
ing on Race street, which it was espe-
cially planned to retain on Spring Gar-

den street. Furthermore, the house, No.
1220 Spring Garden street, was the
scene of the wedding of Mr. Eschner’s
grandfather fifty-six years ago, a fact
that gave the purchase additional value
to Mr. Kschner.

Current Events.

I am indebted to J. D. Eisele, vice-
president of Henry A. Dreer, Inc., for
information as to how the Belgian
azaleas, palms, bay trees and araucarias
have reached this country. It seems
that the governments of Germany and
of Great Britain were able to agree on
this, if on no other point. The plants
grown in that portion of Belgium con-
trolled by Germany were permitted to
pass through both the German and the
allied lines to Rotterdam, a neutral port.
From there they were shipped to this
country. The money for them must be
paid in January to a specified bank in
England, where it stands to the credit
of the Belgian shippers until after the
war is over.

A great change has come over the
residence-looking flower shop on the

they arrived at this particular time no-

thought prospects encouraging. The

The Market.

The market all last week was dull
and spiritless, as is customary just be-
fore the Christmas holidays. Shipments
were lighter toward the end of last
week, especially of mums and roses.
Prices of Thanksgiving week were con-
sequently fairly well maintained.
American Beauties and the best of the
new roses sold at last week’s prices.
The quality of the carnation arrivals is
improving daily, but prices remain be-
low the average of other years. Few
even of the selected sold last week at
over $2 per hundred.

Chrysanthemums of all kinds still are
here. It looks as though there would
be some late ones at Christmas. There
has been a fine lot of Bonnaffons, Chad-
wicks and Eatons. Almost every win-
dow is adorned with yellow mums.
Prices do not go above $2 per dozen.
Orchids have resumed their old place at
the head of the procession. The sup-
ply is not equal to the demand.
Cypripediums sell at $2 per dozen. Vio-
lets sold at 75 cents per hundred. The
singles seem most popular, especially
Princess of Wales. Gardenias are still
few and high, the best commanding $9
per dozen. Valley sold at $6 per hun-
dred, the high tide for many a day.
Lilies have not advanced above $5 per

Dayton, O.—At a recent meeting of
the Florists’ and Gardeners’ Club, the
members unanimously decided to re-
serve the entire north end of the sixth
floor of the Delco building, in which
the Dayton industrial exposition will be
held in January, for a flower show dur-
ing the exposition. The committee in
charge of the space consists of Horace
M. Frank, J. W. Rodgers, W. G. Matth-
ews and C. O. Siebenthaler.

San Antonio, Tex.—The trade exhib-
itors at the flower show held during the
recent home-coming celebration were:
Stuppy Floral Co., of St. Joseph, Mo.;
Furrow & Co., of Guthrie, Okla.; F
Wilcox & Sons, of Council Bluffs, Ia.;
Thomas Wolfe, of Waco, Tex.; Mrs. C.
Jung, F. C. Suchy and the Star Floral
Co., all of San Antonio. The affair was
a great success, the exhibits of ama-
teurs being extremely numerous and at-
tracting an attendance so large as to
give the florists an exceptional oppor-
tunity to bring their stock before the

public.

kinds of Festooning. , Type No. 1 will wrap on any
size wire used for its center. One turn with handle
gives two wraps on Festooning. Center wire is meas-
ured while Festooning is wound, which eliminates
measuring of Festooning. Type No.2: Fine wire is
used for the center, one turn with handle gives one
wrap on Festooning. Does equally as good work as
Type No.1. We furnish machines ready to work,with

NEPHROLEPIS JOHN WANAMAKER
Introduced August, 1915

The Wanamaker Boston has more than made
good. Everyone who has received early ship-
ments from us has been greatly pleased with
the variety and repeat orders have been coming
in daily. We have a very large stock. A
‘‘sport’’ from Nephrolepis Scholzeli, with longer,
narrower, gracefully drooping fronds. It is not
so compact in growth as Scholzeli and therefore
does not decay in the center, and is a durable
house fern. It is a rapid grower, making an
abundance of fronds, and is quite distinct from
any other Nephrolepis. The following prices are
for immediate and spring delivery:

2%-inch pots, strong plants $10.00 per 100;
$90.00 per 1000.

4-inch pots, strong plants, $25.00 per 100;
$225.00 per 1000. ;

NEPHROLEPIS TUBEROSA |
PLUMOSA

This beautiful fern is quite distinct from all
of the other varieties of the Boston Fern, inso-
much that it has been raised from the Japan
species Nephrolepis Tuberosa, which ty is
much hardier than the Exaltata. The fronds
are long and narrow, the pinnules beautiful
plumose, which are of light color, giving the
fronds a beautiful effect on account of the two
distinct shades, as well as its graceful waviness,
and will be found a great and distinct addition
to collection ferns.

NEWARE, N. J.

The Market.

The autumn, on the whole, has been
good with most of us. The chrysanthe-
mum season has been especially good.
These blooms have been of fine
quality; the flowers have been abun-
dant, yet the prices have kept up well,
though of course they have been much
lower recently than they were early in
the season. Not only have the retailers
profited by this, but the growers have
been able to sell their goods to better
advantage than a year ago. The late
varieties are beginning to come in. It
is probable that fine mums will be in
the market until after the first of the
year.

Carnations are coming along well.
Growers of them have ample stocks, the
quality of which is improving. Valley
is a little higher. Callas and Easter
lilies are more plentiful in the retail
stores than they have been. Sweet peas
continue to come into the market in
small quantities. Orchid sweet peas are
beginning to appear. Snapdragons are
not plentiful as yet. Potted begonias
are beginning to be used more freely
in window displays, as are cyclamens,
primroses, etc.
considerable quantities.

Roses are abundant and of medium
price. Florists are busy decorating
graves for the winter. There is con-
siderable activity in various flower
shops in preparation for Christmas.
Christmas greens, holly, ete., are begin-
ning to arrive. Quantities of red frieze
roping are being made into wreaths
and other Christmas decorations.

Stevia is arriving in

Various Notes.

Davis & Davis, wholesale growers,
East Orange, report a fine Thanksgiving
business. The chrysanthemum season is
lasting well. The late varieties are
coming into bloom. They promise to be
of as fine quality as the earlier vari-
eties. Snapdragons are developing well.
Geranium cuttings will be potted soon.

John Crossley has had considerable
funeral work, a fair counter trade and a
number of weddings, five coming in one
week.

Ernest Radany is busy with Christ-
mas preparations and has done a great
deal of winter decorating in Fairmount
cemetery.

Charles J. Connolly finds business
fair. Funeral work is just now the
most active.

Henry Hornecker, of East Orange,
has used several tons of cedar within
the last few weeks in decorating graves
in Fairmount and Holy Sepulchre ceme-
teries. He has enough work ahead of
this kind to keep him busy for several
weeks, in addition to his regular store
trade.

Ferdinand A. Kuehn is busy prepar-
ing wreaths and other Christmas deco-
rations. He also has much grave deco-
ration work. R. B. M.

The Market.

The cut flower market since Thanks-
giving has shortened greatly and all
seasonable stock has become scarce,
with prices greatly advanced. The
leading retailers say the cold weather
of late has made a steady improvement
in business, but that the business is not
what it should be or what it was at
this time last year in the wholesale
houses. We find a limited supply of
roses at present and there is no trouble
in clearing them early at good, stiff
prices for all grades. The Killarney
varieties are at present in best supply
and the quality is excellent.

Mums are of the past for this sea-
son; there were, however, a few good
Bonnaffons arriving in the latter part
of the week. This week, no doubt, will
see the end of them. The carnation
now is in better supply than any other
flower and is up to $5 per hundred for
the extra fancy; the ordinary grade
brings $2 per hundred. As violets are
not in so good supply as in former
years, they clean up quickly on ad-
vance orders. The same may be said
of sweet peas, with fancy stock up to
$1.50 per hundred. Easter lilies, valley
and a few callas come in daily and have
a good demand at usual prices.

Christmas wreathing, ruscus and sup-
plies of like nature are moving at the
wholesale houses. Should the clear,
cold weather continue, there should be
no doubt as to a good supply of every-
thing for Christmas.

Various Notes.

Joseph Deutschmann, secretary of the
St. Louis County Growers’ Association,
says that the attendance at last week’s
meeting of the association was large
and that the meeting was made inter-
esting with good talks on the coming

says business has been satisfactory.

Fred Ammann, of the J. F. Ammann

Ammann says they are specializing this
season in Ophelia and Sunburst roses,
also in orchids.

Henry Emunds, of Belleville, IIl.,
says this is the first season he failed
to have a good mum crop and had to
buy in this market, but his other stock
is coming on well and will stand ‘him
well in hand for the holidays.

day here last week. This was Mr.
Vaughan’s first visit to St. Louis since
1904, and his many friends were glad
to see him. H. C. Neubrand, represent-
ing A. N. Pierson, Inc., Cromwell,
Conn., and Frank J. Farney, represent-
ing the M. Rice Co., Philadelphia, also
were recent visitors.

Werner Bros., rose growers at Clay-
ton, Mo., have been off crop on roses
of ‘ate, but made up with good con-
signments of chrysanthemums and val-
ley. According to Hugo Werner, they
expect to be just right for Christmas,
and that is when they are most needed.

The Young Bros. Floral Co., on
Waterman avenue, has its large ‘show
house filled with fine blooming plants
for Christmas. John and William are
hustlers and they have a great run of
excellent business in this fashionable
section.

Fred W.-Ude, Jr., of Kirkwood, presi-
dent of the St. Louis County Growers’
Association, will leave this week to
spend the winter in Florida, where his
son, Emil, has a large tract of land
under cultivation. Mr. Ude’s other two
sons will look after the Kirkwood place
during his absence.

Julius Schaeffer is now the official
window decorator at Mullanphy’s down-
town store. Arthur Ellison, who is also
with this concern, is in the designing
department.

W. W. Ohlweiler, chairman of the
flower show committee, says his com-
mittee will hold monthly meetings from
now on. Any suggestions from mem-
bers in the trade for the good of the
‘show will be given prompt attention
if sent to any member of the committee.

The Charles Beyer place on South
Grand avenue is ablaze with excellent
Christmas stock. The large show house

Store and Greenhouses,

along Grand avenue is one of the big
attractions of this busy thoroughfare.

The O’Leary Floral Co. has moved its
store from Grand and Lucas avenues to
the Humboldt building, just a block
away from the old location, the store
being on Washington avenue.

The Bourdet Floral Co., at Tower
Grove and Magnolia avenues, has a
good display of Christmas plants. The
boys say their poinsettias and cycla-
mens were never so fine. They have
heavy bookings for Christmas deliv-
eries.

The December display at the Mis-
souri Botanical Garden is deeidedly a
Christmas show, the prevailing colors
being red, green, pink and white. There
are fine specimen plants of Gloire de
Lorraine begonias, poinsettias, Chinese
sacred lilies and heather. A group of
Begonia Erfordii in shades of red, white
and pink, of which Adolph Jaenicke is
the originator, is a sight worth seeing.
The display was staged by Max Schiller
and is attracting large crowds daily.
This ae is.educating the people as

to what to buy of the florists for Christ-
mas. J. J. B.
BOSTON.
The Market.
The week following Thanksgiving

proved to be an unsatisfactory one.
The arrivals of cut flowers were not
especially heavy, but business at the
retail stores fell off and the demand
was feeble. As a consequence, prices
weakened all around. The continued
arrivals of quantities of chrysanthe-
mums has a bad influence on the mar-
ket. Many of the mums are of poor
quality and show visible signs of old
age, but it will be New Year’s before
they make their final bow. Bonnaffon
is easily the leader. Enguehard hangs

fire. A few Jeanne Nonin and Chad-
wick are.seen, also Jerome Jones and
the old Maud Dean. Prices are, on the
whole, satisfactory. Roses have cleaned
up, but prices have declined on all
grades. At present there is a shortage
of good red roses, the growers timing
their crops for the holidays. Carna-
tions have been sluggish and the gen-
eral average has been no more than $2
per hundred.

Violets hold up well. Growers are
holding most of their pick for the holi-
days. Good pink snapdragon is selling
well. Callas, lilies and valley are all
somewhat slow. Yellow marguerites
only sell moderately well. Stevia and
Paper Whites are now plentiful. As-
paragus moves slowly. Cattleyas are
scarce and expensive. Some Percivali-
ana and a few Triane have appeared.
Gardenias are scarce. The best make
$6 per dozen.

There is increased activity in pot
plants, of which a fine assortment now
is coming in. The leaders in favor are

He still has a good lot of chrysan-

William H. Elliott finished selling his
pot mums this week. He has a grand
Christmas crop of roses in sight. At
present Miller, Double White Killarney,
Ophelia and Sunburst are good. He
has quantities of Mile. C. Brunner.

The first forget-me-not of the season
appeared December 1, from R. P. Peter-
son, of Saxonville.

The Welch Bros. Co. is busy with
preparations for Christmas and advance
orders indicate that business will be
far ahead of that of a year ago.

Of the various pink snapdragons
seen in the wholesale markets none is
more popular than Virginia, from
Paul E. Richwagen, of Needham. He
has a large cut of stevia.

Inquiries at the various bulb stores
show that nearly everything has been
cleaned up, sales having been heavier
than ever before.

The death of W. Atlee Burpee
brought out numerous expressions of
regret. Mr. Burpee was a familiar fig-
ure at the conventions of the Amer-

and his presence was much missed at

Send us your retail orders. We

learn that the company will continue
as heretofore.

At Carbone’s business is good and
decidedly ahead of that of a year ago.
Practically all of Mr. Carbone’s recent
European purchases have arrived.

There seems to be no regular hour for
closing at the stores. Some continue
open until 8, others until 8:30 p. m.;
some much later. A recent evening
visit to some of the leading stores
showed numerous employees simply
wasting time, and few customers. Does
this late closing pay? Are enough
flowers sold after 6 o’clock to pay for
light consumed? Would it not be vast-
ly better to close at 6 or 6:30, except
on holidays? Are not the hours for em-
ployees, which average from 7 a. m.
to 8 p. m., needlessly long and would
they not work with more zest if they
had the additional two hours to them-
selves? Flowers are perishable com-
modities, but there are other commodi-
ties equally perishable which are not
purchasable after 6 p. m. This is a
question worthy the attention of all
retailers.

H. M. Robinson & Co. have a large
staff working practically night and day
on Christmas orders and have never
before been so rushed at this season.

The Florists’ Review

DECEMBER 9, 1915.

Seed = News

AMERICAN SEED bre ASSOCIATION.
Presiden John a em ag oem L. 13

THE steamers from Havre are this
season bringing unusual quantities of
French seeds.

THE seedsmen who attended the meet-
ing of canners at Milwaukee last week
had a pleasant outing, but found no
one specially worried about his supply
of peas for 1916 crop.

THE United States Civil Service Com-
mission will hold an examination in
various cities January 5, to secure lab-
oratory aids in seed testing in the De-
partment of Agriculture, at $600 to
$720 a year.

THE Arthur T. Boddington Co., New
York, is preparing to move downtown,
into the district of the other retail
seed stores, and has leased quarters at
128 Chambers street, which it is ex-
pected to occupy about January 1.

AFTER spending three and one-half
years in Europe, Knud Gundestrup has
returned to Chicago and plans reéstab-
lishing himself in the seed business, mak-
ing a specialty of supplying market
gardeners’ seeds and of onion sets.

THERE is only a nominal market for
bouquet green at Chicago, practically all
stock in sight being required to fill
orders taken some time ago. It is
thought the arrivals of late picked stock
will not: be sufficient to change the situa-
tion materially.

THE difference in conditions between
this year and last is well illustrated by
the bulb market. Last season, it will be
remembered, there was a surplus and the
market was demoralized, while this sea-
son, with imports nearly 1,000 cases
heavier, it has been impossible for late
buyers to fill all their needs.

THERE should be a brisk demand for
tomato seeds this season, as the total
tomato pack for the 1915 season was only
8,469,000 cases. This is about fifty-five
per cent of the pack that was made dur-
ing the 1914 season and about sixty-five
per cent of the pack that was made
throughout the United States in 1913.

A. KRUHM, now sales manager for the
Page Seed Co., Greene, N. Y., under date
of December 2, sent the first 1916 seed
catalogue to reach The Review this sea-
son. It is a well-printed stock book of
forty-eight pages and cover, with a space
for imprinting the name and address of
an agent handling Page seeds. The
prices are on small quantities only and,
of course, are on the safe side.

THE government advises that lists of
importers of seeds at San Jose, Punta-
renas and Cartago, the leading cities of
Costa Rica, Central America, may be ob-
tained from the Bureau of Foreign and
Domestic Commerce, Washington, D. C.
Before the European war, probably fifty
per cent of the seeds imported into Costa
Rica came from Europe, but now nearly
all seeds, vegetable and flower, must
be imported from the United States. The
leading importer at San Jose buys chiefly
in bulk and uses his own labels and pack-
ets, containing cultural instructions in
Spanish. Prices f. 0. b. on large ship-

ments are well understood by the im-

vantage of the discounts.

ALREADY Texas is calling for seeds for
1916 spring truck crops.

Just where to turn to acquire the usual
quantity of spinach for 1916 is puzzling
many a seedsman.

THE Illinois Seed & Nursery Co., of
Makanda, IIl., has been incorporated by
J. H. Bradley, A. L. Bradley and H. J.
Bradley. Capitalization is $10,000.

AT the outbreak of the war Kelway
& Son, Langport, England, had sixty em-
ployees of military age, of whom forty-
five, or seventy-five per cent, have joined
the colors.

Conpon Bros. and the Rock River Val-
ley Seed Farms, of Rockford, Ill., have
complained to the Interstate Commerce
Commission against the freight rates of
the Chicago & Northwestern railroad on
peas from Brimley, Mich., to Rockford.
They think 17 cents per hundred pounds
instead of 30 cents, as at present charged,
would be a fair rate.

A REPORT from Holland in a British
trade paper says: ‘‘The export trade
in bulbs to both England and Germany
has just about reached one-half the usual
quantities, but any of the other coun-
tries at war have drawn little or nothing,
and if the export to the United States
had not made up for this deficiency the
results of this year’s trading would have
proved most disastrous. Under the pres-
ent circumstances we may take it for
granted that bulb stocks planted’ out
have been so considerably reduced as to
make up nearly for the reduced buying
power of the civilized nations.’’

These shipments probably are the tail

LADELPHIA,

Forty Years of Burpee Service

IOR forty years we have aimed to render faithful service. For forty years we have
F tried to make each year’s service more nearly ideal. This untiring effort has built

" for us, not only the world’s largest mail order seed business, but a world-wide
reputation for efficient service and undisputed leadership.

More opportune than anything we ourselves may say about Burpee Quality Seeds
are the many remarkable things our thousands of customers and friends have said and
continue to say about them. These customers return to us year after year, not because
seeds cannot be found elsewhere, but because of our superior quality and service.

THE HOUSE OF BURPEE

Has introduced more distinct new varieties of vegetable and flower seeds that are
now in general cultivation than have any three other American firms, but never have we
catalogued any one of these varieties until it had passed all the exacting requirements of
the Burpee-Standard. This Burpee-Standard is maintained by rigid tests at Fordhook
Farms, America’s largest and most complete trial grounds. These tests are made each
year for the purpose of strengthening this Bond of Confidence between our customers
and ourselves.

THE FORTIETH ANNIVERSARY EDITION of BURPEE’S ANNUAL

The Leading American Seed Catalogue is unlike any other. The front cover illustrates
the greatest novelty in Sweet Peas, “Fiery Cross,” and the back cover the two famous
Burpee Bantams, Golden Bantam Corn and Blue Bantam Peas. It is a safe guide to
success, and of real value to everyone who plants seeds either for pleasure or profit.

Alexander Buchanan Scott. Eventu-
ally nearly the whole estate goes to
the two sons, David Burpee and W.
Atlee Burpee, Jr. One-third of the
personal estate and a life interest in
the Bucks county and Philadelphia
properties goes to the widow. The sons
receive the seed business, subject to
the one-third interest of the widow, a
share to a sister, Sarah Coburn Burpee
Scott, wife of Alexander Scott, the
well known rose ‘grower, and one- sixth
interest to the manager of the seed
business, Howard M. Earl.

To allow for an advantageous dis-

posal of the seed business, with the
sons given power to incorporate it, the
testator provides that the tinie for the
settlement of the estate shall be ex-
tended for five years from his death.
Miss Beatrice Kennedy, of San Fran-
cisco, a niece by marriage, and three
cousins, Helen Burpee, L. Kate Burpee
and Charles L. Atlee, share in trust
funds.

An Appreciation.

W. Atlee Burpee is no more—the pen
reluctantly records the sad message.
Hundreds of personal friends will re-
gret the untimely passing away of the
most conspicuous personality in the
American seed trade during the last
quarter century. Thousands of his cus-
tomers, who have become acquainted
with him through his inimitable letters,
will mourn the passing of this master
mind. Hundreds upon thousands will
gratefully cherish the memory of the
benefactor to mankind who gave the
world more really valuable new vege-
tables and flowers than any other man
except one.

Three characteristics stand out
boldest in connection with W. Atlee
Burpee—his honesty of purpose,

broadmindedness and liberality. With
untiring energy he scoured the nooks
and corners of the plant _ breed-
ing world for more of better vegeta-
bles and flowers. It mattered little
where he found the novelties which he
decided were worthy of becoming fa-
mous—he gave just credit to the origi-
natdrs. And money was no object in
acquiring what he wanted for America
—European as well as American grow-
ers can testify to his liberality.

The Burpee business has, become a .-

national institution. It will always be
the lengthened shadow of W. Atlee
Burpee. Associated with Mr. Burpee
are a fine set of younger men, who will
make it their duty to preserve those
sacred principles of r. Burpee’s,

‘LILY BULBS. FOR SALE.

It is a fine but true distinc-
tion that no florist ever
begins a lily growing propo-
sition for the purpose of

putting money into it, but

rather for the purpose of
taking money out of it. And
inasmuch as income runs in
inverse ratio to investment,
it is very important that flor-
ists get bulbs that will give
a maximum number of
blooms per thousand bulbs
planted. If you grow lilies
long enough and experiment
with various brands, you will
finally come to the only logi-
cal conclusion—that Horse-
shoe Brand Giganteum are
superior to anything you can
plant. If you want to save
yourself the cost of experi-
menting, follow the trail of
the largest growers, and al-
ways insist upon Horseshoe
Brand bulbs—because they
are standard and are de-
pendable.

Prices just now are as fol-
lows:

be fall wheat, whereas it was sold on
a representation that it was spring
Fife wheat. (Keeler vs. Green, 149
Pacific Reporter, 286.)

The buyer alleged that April 1,
1913, the defendant sold him 145
bushels of wheat for spring seeding,
warranting the wheat to be spring Fife
wheat. After preparing the ground, he
properly sowed the wheat upon ninety-
seven acres, and used care to produce
a crop. The wheat, however, did not
produce a crop because it was fall
wheat, which the defendant knew at
the time of the sale, or could, with rea-
sonable diligence, have ascertained.
The court said: ‘‘The allegations are
clearly sufficient to charge a warranty
of character and quality by the seller.
It was the seller’s duty to know that
the goods delivered were of that charac-
ter and quality, and, if they were not,
the responsibility is his, in the absence
of an acceptance with knowledge by the
buyer.’’

It is to be noted that this sale was
not made under any disclaimer of war-
ranty on the part of the seller, within
the well settled rule of law that a
seller of seed may avoid liability by
inserting in the contract a disclaimer
of warranty. t 8.

LOS ANGELES.

The Market.

As Christmas approaches, the retail
stores begin to take on a holiday ap-
pearance. Plants are more in evidence
and in demand. Business is better,
but there is room for improvement
still. Good shipping roses are on the
scarce side according to the wholesal-
ers, who have difficulty in filling or-
ders for long distance shipments. There
are plenty for the retail home trade
when they can be handled quickly.
Prima Donna and September Morn are
both showing their quality as keepers,
while Shawyer runs them closely along
the same line. Dahlias are about over,
though there still are a few to be seen.
Mums also are past their best. Pom-
pons and singles have been more free-
ly used this year than usual. Pretty
little baskets of pansies made a dainty
show in one store and the waxed
orange blossoms again are appearing.

Various Notes.

One of the most beautiful of our
parks is Elysian park, northwest of the
city. A good deal of money has been
spent on new roads and, while the
scenery and views opened up are dif-
ferent from those of the more~moun-
tainous parks, there still are magnifi-
cent views of the great San Fernando
valley, the Sierra Madre mountains
and the surrounding country. The
plantings of cedars, pines and other
trees, undertaken some years ago, are
now developing and a little thinning out
here and there will probably be needed
both for the sake of opening up de-
sirable vistas now closed and for the
sake of the trees. An experiment was
tried with thousands of yuccas on one
hillside, but it can hardly be called
successful. The yucca is not at its best
in big groups and the great single
spikes thrown up from rocky places
among chaparral and sage brush look
better than large masses, because it is
more natural. But this seems to have
been the only weak spot in the more
recent plantings. In the nursery,
Superintendent Lambert is doing good
work preparing large stocks of many
rare and useful trees and shrubs for
planting in the various city parks. A
new lath house has been built, but
neither in this nor in the new propagat-
ing house have up-to-date construction
methods been followed.

F. R. Hills certainly has hustled his
new house to completion and has it

working in double-quick time. It is
now full of fine stock of ferns that
will be ready for Christmas sales and
the lower benches are largely planted
to the new adiantum, California, one
of the finest, if not the finest, adian-
tums ever sent,out for cutting. In the
older plants grown by Mr. Hills, the
fronds are from eighteen inches to two
feet in length and broad in proportion.
The new Glory of Mordrecht is a great
success here and far ahead of Farley-
ense as a market fern, because it is so
easy to handle. Mr. Hills has selected

a novel type of nephrolepis after the-

style of a glorified Piersoni, which
makes immense plants in a surprising-
ly short space of time. This will surely
be heard from in the future. The
whole of the new land taken in a
short time ago is now covered with
healthy nursery stock, including some
especially good Cocos plumosa, which
does remarkably well on the soil here.

The Germain Seed & Plant Co. han-
dled over a carload of azaleas last week
and, in spite of many orders being can-
celed on account of the late arrival
of the stock, reports a heavy demand.
As a large percentage of the stock was
the early-flowering Mme. Petrick, this
house will probably be well supplied
for Christmas even should Verveneana
and Mardner not make the holiday.

C. Gutting, of the Superior Nurs-
ery Co., was so far recovered as to be
in town last week, but inquiries of
Mrs. Gutting led to the information
that he still was far from well and
would probably have to return to the
hospital for further treatment. As Mr.
Gutting makes a specialty of Christ-
mas plants, he naturally feels that he
has to be on hand at this time.

Paul Howard, the well-known land-

COSCO COO CO co eOesusaui

scape artist, has opened a store at 1521
West Seventh street. The present ar-
rangement seems to be that Mr,
Howard will make this his office head-
quarters and will show samples of
plants. He does not, at this time, in-
tend to go into tlie cut flower end of
the business. -

The California Cut Flower & Ever-
green Co. has a big stock on hand of
all classes of greens and supplies. Ex-
tensive alterations have been made at
the Broadway store, opening it out in
order to show the stock. Rumors of a
coalition between J. Rolleri and a well-
known man in the trade here are cur-
rent, but at the time of writing there
is nothing absolutely settled.

Wright’s Flower Shop has received
a consignment of azaleas, transshipped
by water from San Francisco. While
the season is late, the resources of the
plant of this company are well known
and there is no doubt that they will be
there or thereabouts when Christmas
comes around.

Some of the finest pompon mums
coming to this market are those from
the H. N. Gage Co. Mr. Gage has his
bungalow at Montebello about finished.

Dr. A. D. Houghton is doing a good
work in begonias, having made a
wonderful collection of living plants
at his home place, as well as classified
many hundreds of species from botani-
cal specimens and data secured from
all kinds of sources. Mrs. Houghton
is as much interested as the doctor and
a great deal of the research work falls
to her share. Two species’ Dr.
Houghton is anxious to obtain are Be-
gonia asplenifolia and the native B.
Californica.

Quality Has First Consideration

—AT THE—

Home of Asters

The quality of seed you buy is of utmost importance
to you. Your most careful cultivation, your liberal
application of fertilizer and your diligent attention to
details will never produce a good crop from poor seed.

It takes time and thought and much hard work to
produce the best results in any line, and in no busi-
ness is the general public more deceived than in the
buying of various seeds.

The poor quality of asters produced from seed sent
us from time to time has caused us to take up the
work of aster seed growing as a protection against
crop failures; and, as a result, the H. & F. Quality
Asters have become well known to all the leading flo-
rists of the Pacific northwest as first-grade stock.

Owing to the location of our plant, only a small per-
centage of the traveling public see our fine fields of
asters and are therefore not in position to accept the
facts so readily as one visiting the place and seeing
actual results. However, many satisfied users of this
seed have done us the kindness to write concerning
their unusual success, and we feel sure the seed we
offer will make friends for us of a large populace in
the near future.

We trust that you may have the confidence to at
least test the H. & F. Quality Aster Seed next year.

play at all times at his Hill street

proving.

When the present depression in nurs-
ery business departs, it surely looks as
though Jacob Dieterich is in line to
make money. He has an immense
amount of stock in his nursery and
lath house at Montebello that is of a
quality much above the average. Dur-
ing a hasty. look through the place re-
cently, a few prominent things seemed
worthy of notice. There is a grand
lot of Erica melanthera, nice bushy
stock in 7-inch, that will be a mass of
bloom by Christmas. An immense
number of Phenix Rebelenii is al-
ready tubbed up and there are many
more in the beds. Kentias are here by
the thousands, from 2-inch stock to
fine specimens. Probably the finest lot
of Rhapis flabelliformis in the trade is
here, while ‘ferns, asparagus and other
green stock galore are on hand. It
is wonderful stock, well handled by Mr.
Dieterich’s clever foreman, Gebhart

rior flowers are expected to sell on an
equality with first-grade stock.

There is a shortage of roses; few of
local growth are coming in and most of
the flowers shown are southern-grown.
California violets are cheap and not in
great demand. Good cyclamens are
plentiful, and they almost monopolize
the stock of flowering plants. Ferns are
overstocked by almost every green-
’ house, and prices are by no means re-
munerative.

Various Notes.

J. O. Hankins, of the Seattle Pottery
Co., has his hands full. Orders never
have been so plentiful. The company
has lately installed machinery to turn
out better and more pots.

The state horticultural commissioner
is enforcing the new laws with respect
to nurserymen’s licenses for all those
who import stock into the state. These
laws are for the help and protection of
all dealers in plants in this state and
the sooner they are observed the better
it will be for all in the trade.

J. J. Bonnell has received two
carloads of European nursery stock.
He also has benched a shipment of 30,-
000 Paper White narcissi from Van-
couver, B. C., in one of his greenhouses.
This should go far to make orders for
Paper Whites scarce next peer

Mrs. L. W. McCoy has removed her
retail store from 912 Third avenue to
a larger and more central location in
Second avenue, at Marion street, where
she has one of the finest stores in the
state.

SAN FRANCISCO.

The Market.

The Thanksgiving rush was followed
by a slump in local demand. Last week
conditions were governed by the expo-
sition, as apparently everybody in the
city wanted to get a last look before
the final closing, December 4, and as a
result all regular business has lan-
guished. At the same time, funeral
work has been rather light and the
shipping business has not been enough
to clean up the market, though supplies
are dwindling. Comparatively speak-
ing, violets are about the most plentiful
item now and the stock is good, though
rain might improve the quality. Mums

show signs of playing out, though
there will be a fair cut until Christmas.
Bonnaffon is rather scarce, while there
is plenty of Appleton, the demand for
which is limited, and some nice pink
and red stock is appearing. Pompons
retain their popularity and offerings of
outdoor mums are fairly liberal. A few
belated dahlias and even gladioli are
coming from frostless sections. A good
many Paper White narcissi and a few
freesias appeared last week.
Carnation prices are down again, with
supplies moderate, but larger than the
week’s demand. Dark weather has
shortened the cut of roses a little,
though a few more Beauties are appear-
ing and are well taken. Hadley is fine,
but moves rather slowly, while Ophelia
as usual cleans up readily. Baby roses
are as strong as ever. Some of the
local growers are offering fine, long-
stemmed poinsettias and an excellent
cut is expected for Christmas, in addi-
tion to a lot of good potted stock, some
of which is now coming in. Orchids
are not so plentiful, but cypripediums
are more prominent and there are
enough cattleyas. Gardenias are grad-
ually improving and will be exception-
ally fine for Christmas. In flowering
plants, cyclamens are about at their
best and many nice begonias and prim-

ulas are coming in. Offerings of azaleas
are limited. Heather is taking a more
prominent position. Greens of all kinds
are in strong demand.

Various Notes.

This has been a remarkably late fall
in the San Francisco district, there hav-
ing been no continuous rains and little
frost. The result is that outdoor stock
in many lines has lasted well. The ex-
position gardens made a good appear-
ance right up to the close. With a little
help from oil heaters, the extensive
beds of begonias have suffered practi-
cally no damage, and most of the dah-
lias showed complete recovery from the
touch of frost of a few weeks ago. Even
the cannas were not entirely gone.

During the last week of the fair, con-
siderable interest was taken in an ex-
hibition of hardy plants and flowers,
held under the auspices of the Cali-
fornia state and Alameda county floral
societies, in the north lobby of the
Palace of Horticulture.

G. Rossi & Co., 670 Geary street, who

sized business in Christmas trees, of

Charles Abraham, proprietor of the
Western Nursery, has the speed bug.
He has added an auto truck to his de-

laid out a number of fine estates.

A. J. Rossi, formerly with J. Seul-
berger, of Oakland, recently opened a
shop on Twelfth street, in the Bacon
block, that city. -

F. G. Cuthbertson, of C. C. Morse &
Co., has been sending out preliminary
notices of the sweet pea show, to be
held in this city next June under the
auspices of the American Sweet Pea
Society. It is expected that the time
and place will be decided and a definite
pret list prepared within a few weeks.

eanwhile growers are being urged to
begin planting and prepare to partici-
pate.* Many prizes have already been
promised. C. C. Morse & Co. offer $30
in three prizes for twelve vases of sweet
peas from their grand prize collection;
W. Atlee Burpee & Co. offer prizes for
the best single vase of their new sweet
pea, Fiery Cross, and for Spencer sweet
peas; the Braslan Seed Growers’ Co.,
of San Jose, has offered a prize; and
prizes and other support have been
ale by Waldo Rohnert, L. D.

aller Seed Co., Hallawell Seed Co.,
Mrs. Scannavino and others.

Mrs. R. E. Darbee has been doing
some moving picture advertising locally.
She is still shipping large lots of Cecile
Brunner roses and reports some large
eastern inquiries for violets for Christ-
mas. California greens, she says, are
finding great populagity with the trade
as far east as New York state, and she
has had good results from mixed ship-
ments of mahonia, Mexican ivy, statice,
etc.

The next meeting of the Pacific Coast
Horticultural Society will be a week
later than the usual time, but a big
meeting is expected, as James Keegan
of the smoker committee has everything
fixed for a big time. Officers are to be
nominated for the new year.

The Market.

The rainfall last month equaled the
general averages of September, October
and November combined. The unusual-
ly inclement weather tended to depress
the sales of flowers and, while the
amount of business about equaled that
of November of last year, the hopes en-
gendered by the good business of Octo-
ber were not fully realized. The calls
of charity for the relief of local and
foreign sufferers have been heavy and
the most charitably inclined have been
forced to economize. Many of them
are customers of the flower stores and
as they have given their charities the

reference, the loss of their trade has

een felt.

High-grade cut stock and the more
expensive classes of potted plants have
been the hardest to move. Cheaper
grades had the strongest call. The dull
weather has cut down the output of
carnations, roses and mums, so that
there has been no glut of flowers.
Prices on all high-grade stock have been
from fifteen to thirty per cent lower.
Lower grades have brought a normal
figure. (Last week was as might be ex-
ea after the Thanksgiving rush.

he cycle of varieties of chrysanthe-
mums has been completed and the latest
are now here. Considerable stock is
being held back for the holidays, but
there is no need of retarding roses or
carnations, as the indications are that

It is most gratifying to note the reports in the trade papers, and espe-
cially those of the great Cleveland Show, where Prima Donna won hands
down for best vase of 50 roses. We had every confidence in introducing it

as a forcing rose, knowing if it had a fair trial it would make good. Note

THE FLAG IN A CARPET BED.

I expect next season to plant a car-
pet bed representing the American flag,
and I am taking the liberty of asking
you for a few hints on the subject. My
location, you will notice, is northern
California. What plants are the best
to use for the white and blue colors? I
intend to use Alternanthera Jewel for
the red stripes and inwreathe the flag
with lobelias, The size of the flag will
be 6x9 feet, and the entire bed will be
11x54 feet. How closely shall I plant
the Alternanthera Jewel?

N. O. P.—Cal.

There is nothing better for a dwarf
white bedding plant to flower over a
long season in California than the white
verbena, and it is easily grown and
propagated. A good dwarf blue plant
is not so easy to find, aside from the
lobelia. There is a verbena that is
almost blue, but the purplish tint is
against its use. Then we have the blue
marguerite, Agathea celestis, but the
color is a little too pale. Plumbago
Larpente is good if sufficient stock can
be obtained. Salvia patens is also ex-
quisite, though not as dwarf as the
other plants noted. There are plenty of
good blues in pansies that could be
used in spring, and some up-to-date
seedsmen are offering tufted pansies or
violas that stand sunshine well. Con-
volvulus Mauritanicus is an elegant blue
creeping plant, free blooming, but possi-
bly more suitable for baskets than for
bedding. Plant the alternantheras six
inches apart. H. R. Richards.

Spokane, Wash.—Burnett Bros. state

WESTERN NURSERYMEN MEET.

Kansas City, Mo., December 8.—The
annual winter 2-day meeting of the
Western Association of Nurserymen,
which opened here this morning, has
brought together one of the largest
gatherings of nurserymen in the his-
tory of the trade in the west. In addi-
tion to the meeting of the western peo-

and there are more than the usual num-

THE WHITE PINE BLISTER RUST.

The alarming character of the white
pine blister rust and the economic loss
which it threatens in the northeastern
and western United States are sharply
emphasized by four recent serious out-
breaks on pine trees and currant bushes
in Massachusetts and New York, says
the United States Department of Agri-
culture. This disease was introduced
on imported white pine nursery stock
and first appeared at Geneva, N. Y., in
1906.

In 1909 extensive importations of
diseased white pine nursery stock were
located and destroyed in New York
and other eastern states, and warnings
were issued against further importation
of white pine from Europe. In spite
of these warnings importation contin-
ued, even from the particular nursery
in Germany which was definitely
known to be the main source of dis-
ease, until finally in 1912 all such im-
portation was stopped by federal
action.

white pine, the sugar pine and indeed
all of the so-called 5-leaf pines, produc-
ing cankers on the stems and branches,
killing young trees and maiming and
disfiguring old ones. It also produces a
leaf disease of currant and gooseberry
bushes. The fungus causing the dis-
ease must live for a part of its life
on pine trees-and part of its life on
currants and gooseberries. The dis-
ease cannot spread from one pine tree
to another, but must pass first to cur-
rant bushes and then back to pine.

The disease has made the culture of
American white pine impracticable in
England, Denmark and Holland and
has seriously handicapped its cultiva-
tion in Germany. Since the _ trees
which it attacks include three of the
most important timber trees of the
United States, the loss which this dis-
ease will produce if unchecked is great.
Fortunately, the disease is not known
to be present west of Buffalo, N. Y.,
but if it is not checked in the eastern
states its ultimate spread to the vast
forests of the Rocky mountains and
the Pacific coast is certain. The dis-
ease now occurs in three localities in
New Hampshire, two in Vermont, ten
in Massachusetts, two in Connecticut,
five in New York, one in Pennsylvania
and three in Ontario, Can.

The disease could be coutrolled now
by the destruction of the diseased
white pines or the complete destruc-
tion of all currant and gooseberry
bushes in the vicinity of infected pine
trees. Whether or not this simple ac-

the legal authority possessed by the

armed with authority to destroy cur-

TRANSPLANTING EVERGREENS.

Can hemlocks, junipers and spruces,
of the evergreen family, which grow
wild in our woods, be transplanted suc-

trees, which are three to five feet high,
to my new tract about a quarter of a
mile away. The soil is practically the
same. Could the trees be moved now.
or when would be the best time?

F. N. B.—Pa.

If the evergreens are of considerable
size it would be better to dig around
them before the ground freezes and re-
move them with frozen balls during the
winter to prepared holes. Straw or hay
can be packed around the roots for the
winter and the filling in can be done
when the ground has thawed. Most of

the plants would move successfully in

and water well to settle the soil about
the roots. Firm the soil thoroughly
around the roots and nearly all should

will lift better and be more likely to

The Market.

The supply of stock is rather lim-
ited, but apparently sufficient for pres-
ent needs. The shipping business is
good. Roses generally clean up nicely,
the receipts including excellent Kil-
larney, White Killarney, Taft, Rich-
mond, Hoosier Beauty and American
Beauty. Carnations experience a ready
sale. Lilies continue plentiful and en-
joy a much better market than during
the chrysanthemum season. Valley and
orchids meet with a steady demand,
while violets and sweet peas sell mod-
erately. Other offerings include nar-
cissi, snapdragons, callas, forget-me-
nots and baby primroses. Greens are
plentiful.

Various Notes.

The regular meeting of the Cincin-
nati Florists’ Society will be held
Monday, December 13.

The flower tributes at the funeral of
Mrs. C. E. Critchell last week sur-

assed anything ever seen in this’ city.
Wricwars came from all parts of the
country and transformed the Critchell
residence into a veritable bower. The
casket was enshrouded in a blanket of
violets.

Gus Adrian, Max Rudolph and Roy
Rudolph went to Richmond and New-
castle, Ind., this week.

P. J. Olinger has been rushed with
shipping business.

C. E. Critchell has been having a
strong call for Christmas greens and
novelties.

THE THIRD EDITION

OF THE

Album of Designs

(A Book Every Retailer Needs)

HE original Album of Designs was published in response to many
requests from florists who felt the need for an up-to-date book that
could be used in taking orders for Funeral Designs, Wedding Decorations
and Bouauets, Table Decorations and all cut flower work where it was not
practicable to show the customer the finished article as it would be when
ready for use. With the publication of this album it became possible to
show the finished work in beautifully printed pictures. The first
edition sold like hot cakes, and a second edition went quickly. Now a
third edition is off the press. Everything is in it—all the standard
designs and many new and heretofore unpublished pieces.

96 pages, nearly 300 designs and decora-
tions, beautifully printed on heavy glazed paper,
handsomely bound in a cover that will stand wear

MILWAUKEE.

The Market.

Business was good last week. Sales
have more than maintained the stand-
ard of previous years and stock has
been good. Cuts of the different vari-
eties have increased to some extent and
the prospects are bright for a good
Christmas business.

Roses are becoming more plentiful
from day to day and White Killarney,

Killarney and Hoosier Beauty are more.

plentiful than the other varieties. Rus-
sell and Ophelia still are somewhat
scarce, being considerably short of the
demand. Carnations have not short-
ened as much as roses and, in conse-
quence, are in large supply at this time.
Red appeared to be somewhat scarce
last week. The demand has increased
with the supply and there has been
nothing like a glut on the market. Val-
ley is arriving in larger quantities and
is in sufficient supply to take care of
all orders. Lilies are not so plentiful,
because the demand has shown some
increase. There has been a sharp de-
mand for cattleyas owing to the char-
ity ball, which called for numerous cor-
sages. The supply was limited and all
orders could not be taken care of.

Bouvardia has had quite a call for
corsage work, but soon will be out of
the market entirely. Mums are just
about gone, although there still are
some Chadwicks and Bonnaffons to be
had. The mum season has been good,
which has been partly due to the short-
age of other stock. Stevia is appearing
in bigger quantities and is finding a
ready sale.

Last week marked the first appear-
ance of Paper Whites. The quality is
excellent and the stock is moving as
fast as it appears on the market. There
has been a heavy demand for calendula
and the supply has not been large
enough to go around. The supply of vio-
lets shows no increase and there will
probably be a big shortage for Christ-
mas. At present the stock cleans up
each morning.

There is at present no thoroughly satisfactory scarlet carnation.
We believe we have such a variety in AVIATOR, and we have
decided to disseminate it, beginning delivery January 1, 1916.

THIS IS THE FIRST TIME A NEW CARNATION HAS BEEN SENT OUT BY US SINCE
WE INTRODUCED ENCHANTRESS, AND YOU MAY BE SURE WE ARE CONFIDENT
IT’S GOOD OR WE WOULD NOT PUT OUR NAME AND REPUTATION BACK OF IT.

Description—Parents, red sport of Maceo and red seedling. Color, intense scarlet, very bright.~ Stem, thin, wiry
and stiff. Flowers, fine, full and nicely fringed. Habit, clean; upright growth; every break makes a rapid advance, pro-
ducing a profusion of fine flowers ina very short time. The most prolific carnation ever offered to the trade, barring
none. No disease, no grass, easy to propagate. There are larger reds offered, but Aviator will outbloom them 3 to 1.
We have plants of Aviator on which we can count 24 buds for the first crop and the houses easily average 15 buds per plant.

WE HAVE PLANTED 40,000 AVIATOR

One house is to be devoted exclusively to the production of cuttings.
The other houses are to produce blooms. INSPECTION INVITED.

At the Illinois State Fair, Springfield, September 21 to 23, on 11 entries we took 8 first prizes, 2 second prizes,
third prize. If you want first-class cut carnation blooms, order of us.

ing the big plant of Mr. Rasmussen,
at 5 o’clock the business of the society
was entered into. The routine part of
it disposed of, the election of officers

dent, Louis Kirch; vice-president, Her-
man Kleinstarink, Jr.; recording secre-
tary, August R. Baumer; financial

Thomas Christiansen; trustee for three
years, Miss Clara Stuessy.

R. E. Jones, of the Advance Co.,

Rasmussen, spoke on ventilation. Fol-
lowing the meeting a buffet luncheon
was served in the large packing room.
Thence the guests went to the recrea-
tion rooms, where some spent their time
at the billiard table, some at crokinole;
the majority went to the bowling alleys,
where Miss Emma Kleinstarink and
August R. Baumer won the prizes.

The Market.

The last two weeks have been the
best for the trade for many months.
The Thanksgiving trade was heavier
than last year; perhaps the heaviest
local florists have experienced. The
two features of this business were, first,
@ more general demand, not merely a
heavy chrysanthemum day; second, a
decided tendency to make the holiday a
gift-sending occasion. The trade in
pores plants and made-up boxes was
eavy for several days previous to
Thanksgiving.

There has been a heavy demand for
funeral flowers and for flowers for so-
ciety functions, a condition not usual
immeciately following Thanksgiving.
More good mums are on the market
than it is usual to see after Thanks-
giving. They are selling well. A
month ago it was feared mums would be
in too early, but a decided change in
temperature held everything back.

Roses are less plentiful than a fort-
night ago, but there is enough of the
ordinary grade for the demand. Wal-
ley is on the short side, as are lilies,
though rubrums are fairly plentiful.
Carnations are in heavy supply, but
they have been cleaned up.

Begonias and other Christmas plants
are making their appearance, as are
made-up boxes. They are selling well.
There is every prospect of early Christ-
mas shopping, the streets being crowd-
ed. Greenhouse conditions are good,
assuring a heavy supply for the holiday

business.
. Various Notes.

Wagon peddlers, few in number, re-
port good sales of ferns and pot plants.

The writer has been especially im-
asia by some of the new begonias.

hatelaine appears to be about the best
money-maker of the family, owing to
its rapid, easy growth, freedom of
bloom, and ease of propagation. Prima
Donna is another good commodity.

The Joy Floral Co. will cut out Bon-
naffons and some of the other chrys-
anthemums next season, and substitute
newer varieties that, in its belief, will
ship better.

L. Haury & Sons will move nearer to
the heart of the business district after
the first of the year.

The Market.

Business the last two weeks showed a
general improvement in all lines. From
all reports, Thanksgiving business was
better than it was the previous season.
Chrysanthemums are about done for.
Carnations and roses are plentiful and
are bringing good prices, with Russell
the best seller.

Various Notes.

Baldwin reports a busy week in fu-
neral work. This concern executed an
order for a blanket of Killarney roses
and valley and a number of large de-
signs for the funeral of Miss Harriet
Hand. Mr. Baldwin has added a motor-
cycle to his delivery equipment. The
box on the side is six feet long and

tracted a lot of attention on the streets
on account of the large side car.

The New York Floral Co. has, some
fine poinsettias and azaleas on sale. It
reports a big increase in business, re-

1 QUALITY

Quality is a word of variable degree, whether applied to men or plants.
Happily, it can be determined, and the test which brings out the best is the
one that we seek. Last week we presented good evidence that our SILVER
PINK SEEDLINGS were the best snapdragons to grow, and now comes the
quality of the seed that we grow and sell:

East Patchogue, N. Y., Nov. 20, 1915.

G. S. Ramsburg, ;

Dear Sir:—Please send one packet seed Silver Pink Snapdragon. Both packets
we got before averaged between 700 and 800 plants, which we sold for $5.00
per 100 right on the place, and ran short. Find enclosed check for $1.00.

Very truly, WILLEY’S FARM.

Not a bit too early to sow seed for plants for early spring sales. Snap
plants from four-inch pots in full bloom will bring double the price of gerani-
ums at one-half the cost. Order today. New crop seed of our original Silver
Pink Snapdragon $1.00 per pkt.; 3 for $2.50; 7 for $5.00. Fresh seed of Nelrose,
Garnet, Yellow, White, and. mixed, at 35c per pkt.; 3 for $1.00.

Plants of Silver Pink and Yellow at $5.00 per 100; $45.00 per 1,000. Other
varieties later.

Remember us for.snapdragon. All orders cash. Free directions.

NATIONAL PLANT & FLOWER CO.,

FORT WAYNE, IND.

The Market.

Business has been good, the demand
active for funeral work and decorations
for large social functions. The mum
seasou is just about over, except for
a few late varieties. Lilies are taking
the place of mums as showy flowers
for decorative and funeral work. Roses
are in big demand, but are not abun-
dant, owing to the close cut for Thanks-
giving and the fact that many growers
are holding back their stock for Christ-
mas.

Carnations are scarce and, from the
outlook, they will not be plentiful for
the holidays. Orchids are scarce and
gardenias are hard to procure. Violets
are plentiful and sell readily. Valley
sells well. Narcissi and stevia meet
with a good demand. Asparagus plu-
mosus is scarce.

The business during November was
far better than for the previous No-
vember. The Thanksgivi ing trade netted
fine returns, far surpassing those of
the Thanksgiving of 1914. The flower
stores are showing signs of Christmas
activity. Many are displaying Christ-
mas baskets, wreaths and _ novelties,
which are selling well.

KANSAS CITY.

The Market.

Business last week was satisfactory
to the grower, wholesaler and retailer.
Everyone reports a clean-up in every
line of stock. There was a large quan-
tity of lilies of good quality, which
helped to offset the shortage in other
cut flowers. Chrysanthemums made a
small showing towards the end of the
week, Clay Frick and Helen Frick be-
ing the only two left. Roses were
scarce but of good quality. Carnations
are arriving in larger numbers, but
there are not enough of them to fill
the gap left by the mums? Paper
Whites are more conspicuous. Pot
plants were a big help to the cut flower
departments, for a great many of them
were used instead of cut flowers.
Greens were scarce last week.

Various Notes.

Acting as a custodian of a green-
house is vastly different from calling
jurors and witnesses in a courtroom.
H. Donnelly, deputy sheriff, discovered
this the other night. He spent a night
taking care of a greenhouse against
which a judgment was rendered in the
Cireuit court. He had to act as fire-
man. He lost sleep and his hands
were covered with blisters. Perhaps
hereafter it will be an easier matter
for florists to escape jury service.

The report from across the state line
speaks of good business, a rush in all

lines and enough stock to meet the de-
mand. Funeral work was heavy last '
week,

Gloire de Chatelaine

We have a fine lot of plants in 5-inch pots, grown for
the retail trade. We have kept the buds and blooms
picked off until the plants have reached a good size and
they are now ready to burst into full bloom. They will
make fine stock for retailing from this time on and through
the winter. They will be in great shape for Xmas selling.

We advise that you have them shipped now and allow
them to come into bloom in your houses, as a plant in
bud will always ship better than one in full bloom.

Greenhouse Heating.

WrRoucGHT iron boiler tube makers in
the Pittsburgh district have notified the
trade of an advance in price of tubes
of $2 per ton. This is in harmony with
the action of the steel tube makers,
who took the same step earlier in the
week,

SUBSCRIBERS are invited to write the
Editor of this Department with regard to
any details of greenhouse heating that
are not understood. But please do not
ask The Review to make a choice of ap-
paratus for you. The greenhouse heating
equipment advertised in this paper is, we
believe, the best for the trade to buy,
and each article the best in the special
field of its adaptation.

THE COAL MARKET.

After nearly a month of lively de-
mand, the coal market is experiencing
its regular December reaction or relapse.
Many coal dealers hoped that in the last
few weeks the trade had acquired enough
momentum to bear it at full speed over
the period of the annual lull, especially
since the purchase of coal had been
below normal all summer, but the lull
is here, without any clear explanation
or plausible excuse.

During the recent activity in the
market, when most kinds of fuel were
moving rapidly, the trade in smokeless
was off at one side of the hurly-burly,
maintaining a sluggish existence in a
‘‘Sleepy Hollow’’ of its own. Now the
smokeless market at Chicago is still
further demoralized by the dumping
there of huge shipments of lump and
egg. ‘‘For a good part of the week,’’
we are told, ‘‘lump and egg have been
sold at mine-run prices of $1.40 and
dealers who had contracts for mine-run
coal have canceled them in ‘order to
get the lump and egg to improve the
quality of their mine-run. This threw
a lot of mine-run coal back into the
market which had to be disposed of at
a cut in price. Sales were made freely
at $1.25 and some few instances are re-
ported where sales as low as $1.15 were
accepted.’’ Perhaps this was a final
opportunity granted by Providence to
florists whose coal bins were not yet
chock-full.

PIPING A SMALL SASH HOUSE.

I am building a small greenhouse,
914x19 feet, running north and south.
There is a double-boarded base, rising
one foot from the level of the ground
and banked with earth to the top. On
this base the house stands. The east
side contains glass four feet high. In
the two ends and west side there are
three feet of glass and one foot of
siding, lined with heavy rubberoid. This
glass is in window sashes, fitted care-
fully in frames. The roof is made of
twelve sashes, each three feet two and
one-half inches by six feet, and the
gables are three feet higher than the
side walls.

The entrance is in the center of the
north end, which is protected by a small
shed of the same width and height as
the main house. I am placing a good-
sized coil, tank gas heater in this shed,
and wish to know how to pipe the
building for hot water. Can I use pipe
all of one size, 1%4-inch or 1%-inch?
Should the flow pipes be horizontal or

liberating surface, and dry steam.

Thorough circulation to produce highest
possible efficiency and rapid steam gener-
ating power.

Automatic self-cleaning, by which all
seale forming material is deposited out
of reach of the fire and where it can be
readily removed. (Power plant owners
who are forced to use bad water will
appreciate the vital importance of this
feature.)

Accessibility for inspection, cleaning, and
repairs.

Perfect combustion under ordinary draft
conditions.

Maximum heat absorption.

Absolute prevention of burnt or sagged
plates.

A setting independent of boiler walls.

Freedom for expansion of all parts and
equal expansion between shell and tubes
so that there can be no leakage at tube

There are several methods of piping
which would give good results in a
house like the one described. A 2-inch
flow pipe could be run a foot or so below
the ridge and then dropped down at the
farther end of the house, where it
could be used to supply two coils of
1%-inch pipe. They should start near
the middle of the south end of the
house, and run to the corners and then
back along the side walls to the heater.
Another way would be to place a 1%4-
inch flow pipe on each wall plate, and

USING 114-INCH RETURNS.

I am about to erect a greenhouse and
should like to get the right idea of the
piping. The house will be 22x100 and
twelve feet high to the ridge, and will
contain about 3,000 square feet of glass,
including the glass in the side walls.

134

The Florists’ Review -

DecemMsBer 9, 1915.

The house will run east and west, with a
store 16x20 in front. The west end will
be fully exposed. The boiler shed wili
be at the north side, and the north
and south sides of the house will be
partly protected. The temperature
wanted is 55 to 70 degrees, for miscel-
laneous pot plants. I have a lot of 144-
inch pipe on hand and should like to
use it for the piping. Kindly specify
the size of boiler that will be needed.
J. V.—Iil.

——

For a house 22x100, with 3,000 square
feet of glass, to be heated to 60 de-
grees, I would use a boiler with a ca-
pacity for supplying 1,250 square feet
of hot water radiation.

I would use three 24-inch flow pipes,
placing one on each wall plate and the
other about three feet below the ridge.
While better results would be secured
by using 2-inch pipe for the returns,
_ fairly good results will be obtained by
using fifteen 144-inch pipes in three
coils, locating one coil on each wall
and the other under the middle bench.
If a temperature of more than 60 de-
grees is desired, one or more additional
pipes may be placed in each of the
coils,

THE RIGHT BOILER.

. Can a tubular steam boiler be used

for hot water? How many returns of
2-inch and 1l-inch will be required to
heat a house 22x50 feet to 65 degrees in
zero weather? Would like to know,
also, if the returns can be hung on the
side walls instead of running them
under the benches. M. B. S8.—Ky.

A tubular steam boiler can be used
for a hot water heater. The size of the
boiler required will depend on its grate
surface, but a 10-horsepower boiler
would be large enough for the purpose;
and, in fact, if you can get a smaller
boiler with a grate containing four
square feet of surface there should be
no trouble in heating the house as de-
sired.

We would prefer to use at least 144-
inch pipe for the returns unless they
are well above the boiler, or a mercury
generator is attached. We would use
three 2-inch flows and ten 1%%-inch or
eighteen l-inch returns, unless a gen-
erator is used, in which case the number
of l-inch returns might be reduced to
fifteen. The foregoing estimate is with
the understanding that there is no
glass in the side walls and that the
house is well built.

MOTT-LY MUSINGS.

Julius Eger, of Schenectady, N. Y.,
pointed to a window in his store that
was filled with empty vases, in front
of which was placed a large card which
read, ‘‘Thank you,’’ mute and satis-
factory evidence of a big Thanksgiving
business. M. P. Champlin, the Rosen-
dale Flower Shop and J. W, Grupe all
were busy. Hatcher’s was taxed to the
limit at Hoffman’s to supply the stores
at Schenectady and Amsterdam.
E. V. B. Felthousen, of the Sunnyside
Greenhouses, was glad of his release as
a postoffice official for the day, to give
his time at home. Altogether, it was
the best Thanksgiving this city has ex-

erienced, in every respect.

Fred Goldring, of Slingerlands, N. Y.,
had a fine cut in prime shape for
Thanksgiving and is well pleased with
the returns. :

The Market.

Business has been quiet, so every-
body has had a chance to get ready for
the Christmas rush. Mums are just
about gone. Roses and carnations are
off crop, with prospects for a good cut
for Christmas. The weather is bright,
with freezing temperature at night,
which is about ideal for growing.

Various Notes.

The greenhouses of the William
Blackman Floral Co. are in nice shape.
This concern has a fine stock of Christ-
mas plants, including poinsettias, ferns,
azaleas, bulbous stock, primulas and
cyclamens. Carnations ‘are full of buds
and will be just right. Roses will not
be on for a large crop. Ed. Blackburn
has bought a touring car and disposed
of his horse.

Julius Niednagel & Sons have a fine
lot of Christmas stock. The ferns,
primulas, begonias and poinsettias all
are excellent. The roses and carnations
will be in nice crop for Christmas.
Mums are about gone. Of the many
thousand flowers they cut, there was
only a small loss, the sales being extra
good.

Miss Nellie Goodge has pneumonia.

Karl Zeidler and his son, Kunze,
have returned from their hunting trip
and report a great time. The party
killed some big game.

The Florists’ Club will meet Decem-
ber 15 at J. C. Elspermann’s.

Fred Chapman has a big batch of
carnation cuttings in the sand.

J. C. Elspermann is still confined to
his bed. His Christmas stock is in fine
shape. He will have an excellent cut
of carnations. E. L. F.

DeceMBeEr 9, 1915.

BUFFALO,

The Market.

Business naturally has not been so
good as for the previous week, being
about the same as the week prior to
Thanksgiving. Consignments, although
not so large, are of good quality. Good
Beauties continue about the same, sell-
ing well. Poor ones are difficult to
move. Russells and Richmonds are not
so plentiful as they were. The old
standard variety, Killarney, is more
abundant. White Killarney is not sell-
ing so well. Carnations are arriving
in large shipments, but they are none
too plentiful and sell at a fair price.
Although carnations usually have been
overabundant after Thanksgiving, it
has not been that way this season.

Chrysanthemums are still here, but in
greatly reduced numbers. Their days
have passed for the season. Pompons
are also on the wane, but there still
seems to be a call for the Wilcox.
Easter lilies are on the market in large
numbers. Callas are not so plentiful
as they were. Paper Whites are here
again and selling well. Violets of both
kinds are about the same, only more
plentiful. Some nice mignonette is on
the market. Gladioli and snapdragons
may be had if desired. Greens of all
kinds clear easily. Boxwood and pine
branches are arriving in abundance.

Various Notes.

John Schweichler, of North Tona-
wanda, is having. marked success in
marketing his begonias. They are as
fine as can be had.

Charles Netsch reports that this
year’s business has been better than
any of the past.

The Lenox Flower Shop had an at-
tractive window. The business for
Thanksgiving was good. To sum up,
business for Thanksgiving in general
was good, from the grower to the con-
sumer. A. E.

The Florists’ Review

DecEMBER 9, 1915.

COLUMBUS, 0.

The Market.

Trade has been heavy, with stock a
little scarce in most lines. A few
mums are to be seen, but they make lit-
tle impression on the market. Conse-
quently the demand for other flowers
has increased accordingly and at times
it is hard to get enough of certain
kinds to go around. This is especially
so with red carnations, which are far
from meeting the demand.

Roses are of fine quality and are
coming in about right to meet the
heavy demand. The bulk of them are
Killarney and White Killarney, Mary-
land, Richmond, Sunburst and Ophelia.
Some growers are sending in Ward, but
not in quantity. Beauties have been
scarce. Carnations are coming in heav-
ily. They find a ready market and are
its mainstay at present. Valley has
been somewhat scarce, with fair de-
.mand. Sweet peas are fine and heavy
cuts are coming in from most growers.

Paper Whites are a favorite and,
while large supplies of them are com-
ing in, they are used up closely at all
times. Violets are in heavy demand,
both single and double, and the qual-
ity is about all that could be asked,
unless for the stems on the singles,
whieh are somewhat short.

Various Notes.

The Munk Floral Co. is putting in
a new front, which will add greatly
to’ the attractiveness of its store. It
is also painting the interior.

T. J«Ludwig has a new delivery car.
He looks for heavy business during the
holiday season.

The. Livingston Seed Co. has an at-
tractive red window, the decorations
consisting of red roping, ruscus and
red azaleas.

Samuel Graff, of the Art Floral Co.,
has some nice gladioli, the first seen
heré.:-He still is handling a few mums.

The Fifth Avenue Floral Co. is cut-
ting heavily on roses, carnations and
narcissi

(Leo Miller has a heavy cut and re-
ports trade good. ;

Plans are being made to have the
florists undertake codperative advertis-
ing in the local dailies. The initial ad-
vertisement will probably appear in
season for the Christmas ene

Club Election.

The Florists’ and Gardeners’ Club of
Rhode Island is instituting a campaign
for membership. At the last monthly
meeting the annual reports of officers
and committees were presented, show-
ing that while the organization has
made no gains during the last twelve
months, it has suffered no material
losses. The attendance was one of the
largest that the club has had in a long
time and the enthusiastic spirit augurs
well for the successful carrying out of
the recruiting campaign. The matter
of holding the annual banquet was dis-
cussed. The following officers were
elected: President, James Dillon;
vice-president, William Steele; treas-
urer, James Hockey; secretary, Wil-
liam E. Chappell; executive committee,
Cornelius Hartstra, Owen McManmon
and John Marshall.

Various Notes.

Joseph A. Foster, a grandson of
Alonzo Vose, of Woonsocket, is one of
the alternates selected by Congressman
Kennedy for possible appointment to
Annapolis.

A delivery car belonging to Joseph
Koppelman, and driven by Frank Bush,
was badly damaged in a collision with
another machine a few days ago.

At the opening of the new Shea the-

INTENSIVE FLORICULTURE

R. P. Atwell has graduated into the newer type of
growers that uses the aid placed within its reach by _
modern science. Instead of “doping” his benches
with one mixture, he has found, through tests, the
exact requirements of each and treats it in accord-
ance. The soil of each bench has been gotten into a
sweetened condition by the use of MAGIC special
“steamed bone meal” and is kept that way with
MAGIC 95% pure carbonate of lime. Each bench
is treated as an individual case with our special food.
Thus Mums, Sweet Peas, Roses, Greens, etc., are
producing as they should.

Use special MAGIC preparations all the:way thru.

You can’t afford to take any chances. Buy “MAGIC

and about meet the demand. The qual-

—first the growing and
then the shipping—cannot
be reversed, of course. Yet
board of trade speculators,
® || and even conservative
seedsmen, frequently buy
and sell crops, supposedly
ripe crops, long before
harvest time or even be-
fore the seeds are sown. They ‘‘deal
in futures.’’ And in this article the
last—the shipping—shall be first, be-
cause it probably has first place in the
reader’s interest. Cyclamen shipping
is so seldom discussed that there is no
present danger of its being a stale or
uninteresting subject. If the reader
continues to read, however, he will find
that the ‘‘growing end’’ gets due con-
sideration farther on.

The Shipping of Seedlings.

In packing cyclamen plants for ship-
ping, it is necessary, of course, to con-
sider the time of year, but most cycla-
mens, from seedlings to blooming
plants, are shipped in
winter. Remembering
that the plants are
handled by inexperi-
enced and often care-
less express em-
ployees, we _ should
try to do at least a
little better packing
than is really neces-
sary, thus providing
for emergencies.

Seedlings are
packed five to ten in
a package, with the
roots surrounded by
moist, not soggy,
sphagnum moss. They
should be wrapped in
paper up to the end
of the leaves and tied
with fine string or
rubber. These little
packages are set or
laid side by side, not
too tightly. Between
the layers of seed-
lings is placed a
double layer of pa-
per. Not more than
three layers of the
plants should be al-
lowed in a box. Use
also a layer of paper
to separate the va-
rieties. The _ ship-

HOW TO MAKE MONEY
WITH CYCLAMEN

When a successful specialist tells how he won, his words are worthy of
alert attention. In the main his manner of work may not be distinguish-
able from that of others, but somewhere in his methods lies the secret of
his success. In this article a successful cyclamen specialist describes his

ping box should be well lined first with
strong, heavy express paper and from
six to twelve newspapers, placed all
around in such a way that the paper
doubles up at the corners. Cleat the
plants well, to prevent them from fall-
ing. Use newspapers and _ express
paper on the outside of the box, to
prevent damage from frost or other
cause. Such a package will travel
seven to ten days without injury to
the plants.

Shipping Specimen Plants.

Specimen or blooming plants should
be shipped in paper pots, as the roots
of cyclamens are not strong enough to
hold a pot-ball intact. Wrap the plants
well up above the flowers, in news-
papers, and tie at the pot as well as
above. Use well nailed boxes, eigh-
teen to twenty-four inches high, of %4-
inch lumber, with the ends of 1-inch
lumber, to nail the lid to. ‘Line the
boxes with heavy express papers and
newspapers, according to the weather.

do not forget the invoice. A prominent
sign, ‘‘ Valuable Plants—This Side Up
—Keep from Frost,’’ printed in large
letters and, if possible, in two colors,
on a plainly addressed shipping label,
is essential for the protection of your-
self and the buyer.

As to shipments in warm weather,
open boxes or crates are used. The
plants are put in paper pots and
wrapped in paper so the leaves are free
on top, to insure a circulation of air
through the plants.

We should endeavor to let the ex-
press companies know that plants are
not common merchandise, that they
should steadily move onward on fast
express trains and should be handled
with special care. It is well, therefore,
to have a sign on the box which reads
like this: ‘‘Notice! If shipment is
frozen or damaged in transit, notify
express company at once. They are re-
sponsible.’’

From Shipping to Sowing.

And now let us mutter, magician-
like, these words of
the old song: ‘‘ Back-
ward, turn backward,
O Time, in your
flight! ’’ For we shall
pass backward from
the shipping to the
sowing.

Nice, large bloom-
ing plants can be had
by sowing well sea-
soned seed as early
as the end of July
and in _ successive
batches till January.
Some of those sown
early in the season
may be in bloom for
Thanksgiving, but
the larger percentage
will certainly _ per-
form a_ profitable
part in the Christmas
trade. Of those sown
later in the season,
some may bloom for
the holidays, but the
majority will bloom
continuously until
March and April, so
that the plants, if
kept in a cool tem-
perature, about 40 to
45 degrees, will be of
good service for the
Easter trade.

The Florists’ Review

DrceMBeErR 16, 1915.

Many disappointments will be
avoided by selecting the best strains of
seed, as on this depends, to a great ex-
tent, the future of the blooming plants.
The soil should be of a light, porous
kind, containing two-thirds loaf. mold,
some loam and some old hotbed soil,
with plenty of sand added. If you
have no leaf-mold, old hotbed soil will
be a good substitute. Under no circum-
stances use soil that will pack hard
after a few waterings.

We sow in flats 3x12x20 inches, in-
side measurement. We fill the flats
with soil, press it down lightly, make
small trenches one-fourth of an inch
deep, distribute .the seed about one-
fourth of an inch apart, and then fill
the trenches and the general surface of
the flats one-fourth of an inch above
ths seed. On top of this we place a
thin covering of washed river or lake
sand, to keep the surface free from
moss.

The Seedlings in Flats.

The seed flats can be set in a cold-
frame or a mild hotbed, preferably the
latter, or they can be set in a green-
house where there is not too much ven-
tilation. It is advisable to put them
under a greenhouse benth until the
seeds start to germinate and then to
set them on a bench where there is
sufficient light to prevent the plants
from growing spindly. Keep them well
sprayed and loosen the soil between the
little plants frequently.

After the seed leaf is well developed,
they should be transplanted into flats.
Plant the seedlings about one and a

with from six to ten leaves, when they
will be ready for a shift into 24-inch
or 3-inch pots. For this and the fol-
lowing shifts, it is well to use more
loam each time.

Potting and Placing in Frames.

I prefer to grow cyclamens in pots
after the first transplanting, as they
can then be handled to better advan-
tage; they also make stockier plants,
and, last but not least, they set more
buds. When they are shifted along
into larger pots, they enjoy about one-
fifth drainage of washed cinders or
gravel, with a mixture of some coarse,
shredded cow manure and broken up
leaves.

Now, as the plants grow on, they can
be potted so that the bulb extends
above the soil about half, as the leaves
will now shade the bulb and aid in re-
taining the moisture which is so essen-
tial in growing good stock. If the
plants are potted too deeply, the leaves
and buds may rot off and the plants
will be flabby. In April or May they
ean be placed on a mild hotbed or on
a greenhouse bench, and in bright
weather they should be shaded. The
shade should not be too dense. We use
sashes 3x6 feet, the frames of which
are 1x2 inches and strengthened by
corner irons. To the trames we nail
cypress laths one and a half inches wide,
with 14-inch openings. These sashes,
dipped in paint, are durable, strong,
and easy to handle.

The Culture in Midsummer.
Plenty of fresh air, with one to four

half to two inches apart in the flats.
As to the depth, plant so that the
bulblets will be just covered with soil
after the first good watering. This rule
applies also to the next transplanting.

Set the plants near the glass, on a
shelf or bench, preferably the former,
as it insures finer root action. A night
temperature of 50 to 55 degrees, with
an increase of 8 to 10 degrees in
the daytime, is about right. Here they
will soon become sturdy little plants,

syringings, depending on the brightness
and heat of the day, produces healthy

‘and sturdy plants.

Cyclamens are somewhat particular
about the watering. The man with the
hose can help a great deal in producing
nice stock. Do not make the mistake
of keeping the plants wet and soggy;
they should dry out fairly well between
waterings. Thus the soil will be kept
sweet, which is an important point in
growing choice cyclamens.

If the plants are wanted in bloom
early, the final repotting should be done
not later than August. ;

In growing cyclamens during the
summer in frames, we use only the
shades on them. The glass is not used
except in excessively heavy rains. Here
it is important to state that plenty of
room is essential to the growing of
good, well built plants. Do not make
the great mistake of crowding the
plants at any time, as this would mean
poor, flabby, unsalable plants, If room
is scarce, then dump some of the poorer
plants and give the better ones more
space.

Housing the Plants in Fall,

We commence to house our cyclamens
in October. Here, again, it is necessary
to give the plants plenty of room, all
that can be spared, as now is the time
when cyclamens make their strongest
growth. Shade should not be required
now. In fact, it would have been well
to get the plants used to the bright
weather while they . were outside.
Maintain a free circulation of fresh
air all the time, to keep them stocky
and strong. Water carefully, not drop-
ping any water into the head of the
plants. Syringe on bright days.

While cyclamens can be forced to
some extent, it is poor policy to do it
unless the most forward plants are
taken into some other house which has
a higher temperature. Do not try to
force a few at the cost of all, or all of
them will be a sorrowful looking lot a
few weeks after the forcing. They are
easily held back in a temperature as
low as 40 degrees. Well rooted and
potbound plants in their blooming pots
appreciate a weekly application of
cow manure and soot water; it gives
them beautiful, glossy foliage and
larger flowers, well colored.

To have extra choice specimens, it is
well to select from the start the
strongest and best built plants, with
the finest foliage. Keep on selecting
the best until you have the desired
number, giving them the best place and
care possible, and you will rejoice in
the end in having some plants worthy
of taking first prize at any notable ex-
hibition.

Fighting Green Fly and Thrips.

As to insects, the green fly and
thrips are the only ones that bother
cyclamens. The green fly is easily kept
in check with a nicotine solution, care-
fully applied once a week. This can
be used as a spray, or the nicotine can
be dropped on the hot pipes with a
small oil can, or fumigating papers can
be used with good effect.

Look out for thrips, the worst of all
the cyclamens’ enemies. You may
have the finest batch of plants and yet
the flowers will be unsightly, crippled
and unsalable if the thrips get busy.
Their nesting place is usually in the
calyx of the flowers. It is hard to de-
tect them with the unaided eye; yet
they are there and it is well not to
postpone fighting them until the flowers
begin to open. The following solution,
used once a week, especially before the
blooming time, is sure death to thrips:
Take five pounds of brown\sugar and
one pound of Paris green; mix dry; run
through a fine screen to take out lumps.
To apply, use two ounces of the mix-
ture to two gallons of water. Apply
this late in the afternoon. If the next
day is clear, syringe the plants to pre-
vent the leaves from burning. Do not

mix lime or alkali with the solution, as
these would keep the thrips from eat-
ing the sugar and would kill the effects
of the poison.

Cutworms and Other Pests.

Cutworms are another pest that must
be well looked after. As soon as you
find that cutworms are doing any harm,
use four ounces of Paris green with one
pound of molasses and one-fourth pound
of middlings; mix well and drop the
mixture ,in small lumps where you ex-
pect the worms to feed.

Mice are fond of the flower buds and
may spoil a fine batch of plants before
you know it. Look out for them. The
price of a cyclamen plant invested in
those small but effective spring traps is
well spent in getting rid of these little
fellows.

In the course of this article I have
advised growing cyclamens in hotbeds
or coldframes during the summer. Here
I wish to say that it is more convenient
to grow them inside if you have a well
ventilated house, and by giving the
plants plenty of room and the same care
as they would have outdoors, you can
produce just as fine a lot of cyclamens
in an airy greenhouse as you would out-
side in the frames, but you must give
them an abundance of room.

There is no winter-blooming plant
that the florist can sell with more as-
surance of its being satisfactory than
the cyclamen, and the growing of it is
not difficult. A good strain of seed
and the proper care should insure suc-
cess and make the cyclamen one of the
finest and most profitable plants on the
market. Christ. Winterich.

SCOVELL’S SAMPLE CYCLAMEN.

A’s a convincing sample of what may
be accomplished, and is regularly being
accomplished, in the production of
cyclamens, a plant grown by W. C. Sco-
vell, of Malta, O., is shown to the
reader by means of the illustration on
page 14. The picture, of course,
cannot furnish any proof as to one of
the most satisfactory qualities of cycla-
men plants—the great length of time
they remain in bloom. That quality,
however, is so well known and so thor-
oughly appreciated that it would be
easy to collect evidence about it. Mr.
Scovell himself bears testimony on that
point.

The photograph was sent to The Re-
view last spring. In the letter that
accompanied it Mr. Scovell said: ‘‘The
photo was taken March 11. At that
time the plant carried forty-eight
blooms, fourteen buds and a number of
seed pods. It has been in bloom ever
since the first week in December. It
has now—March 26—twenty-nine flow-
ers and two buds. Measured across the
foliage, the plant is twenty inches wide.
It has been a beauty all winter. My
orchid-flowering cyclamen which was

- mentioned by The Review some time

ago, as having one 5%-inch flower, had
at one time this winter twenty-seven
flowers that measured from four to five
inches and had three 5-inch flowers.’’

CELOSIA PLUMOSA FROM SEED.

I wish to get some information re-
garding the sowing of the seed and tlie
care of the growing plants of Celosia
plumosa Pride of Castle Gould. I have
tried for several seasons to grow this
plant into a good-sized specimen, but

it always blooms when several inches
high. I used a loose soil, with the addi-
tion of rotted manure and a little bone.
Any information will be gladly re-
ceived. R. E. E.—Cal.

Celosia plumosa for fall flowering
should be sown in May in pans. Pot
off before the seedlings become crowd-
ed. Use a light but moderately rich
soil. Keep the plants potted on before
they have any chance to become pot-
bound, or they will be of little value.
Never mind if the plants show some
flowers early, if you keep potting them
along and use a suitable soil, which at
the last shift should consist of one-half
loam, one-third decayed cow manure
and the balance leaf-mold and sand.
Apply liquid manure freely when the
flowering pots are full of roots. Any
ordinary greenhouse will answer
through the summer, but as the nights
get cooler give them a minimum tem-
perature of 55 degrees. Our plants,
sown about May 15, are always in fine
shape from the early part of October
until the end of November and prove
useful, coming in, as they do, when
flowering plants are scarce. CW.

Lexington, Mo.—Fall openings are
the usual thing with department stores,
but J. H. Eggleston is the first local
florist who has instituted an autumn
celebration as an annual event. For
the occasion, F. R. Hoffman, manager,
had an elaborate display of roses, mums
and carnations, all of which were hoine-
grown. A miniature wedding decora-
tion was the hit of the display. Busi-
ness has been unusually good. The
warm weather, however, has’ been
rather severe on the early violets.

WHAT THE LEADERS IN THE TRADE ARE DOING

LILIES FOR BRIDE’S BOUQUET.

A wedding bouquet, or any bouquet,
for that matter, never is commonplace
if taste is observed in the making of
it. Not even the plainest or poorest
bouquet could properly be called com-
monplace, for to say this would be to
declare the flowers themselves uninter-
esting and ordinary. The difference in
bouquets, therefore, is largely a ques-
tion of the care and good taste exer-
cised. The illustration printed here-
with, of a bouquet that was arranged
by N. O. Selby, of Middletown, O., for
a wedding at Muncie, Ind., tells its
own story. The bouquet was in close
harmony with the decorations of the
bride’s home, where the ceremony took
place. Hundreds of lilies were used
about the house. The bouquet consists
simply of valley and lilies, with a
streamer of chiffon and showers of rib-
bon. The photograph was taken by
Mr. Sherman, a photographer, in tye
store of Mr. Selby.

PENN’S NEW STORE.

The following is from a Boston daily:

‘*December 15 the most modern and
artistic home of flowers in New England,
if not the whole United States, will be
opened to the public by Penn, the flo-
rist, at 124 Tremont street.

‘Not long ago Penn secured the store
at the corner of Tremont street and
Bosworth place, opposite Park Street
church, and at once determined to have
this new store ready for his friends’
Christmas visit. The whole store was
torn to pieces, and by the magic of
human endeavor the most original
flower shop possible begun and _ will
not be completely finished until it is
time for the doors to open this morn-
in

Then the crowds that pour out of
the subways at Park street will see
before them the new store front of
Penn, the florist, glowing in its gold
trimmings and the new old_ gold
marquee. The all-glass windows will
afford a clear view into the shop, which
is entirely surrounded by crystal win-
dows or mirrows, except at the back,
where marble pillars lead to the foun-
tain court, a truly beautiful innovation
in flower stores.

‘*Those who go down Bosworth place
will pass by the broad window which
fills all one side of the fountain court
and offers a charming view of the
interior.

‘The selling section of the shop is
tiled like all the rest in soft buff-colored
stone, and the walls are of Caen stone
blocks. The show windows are so fash-
ioned as to make the interior of the
store elliptical at the front with the
door in the center, over which there is
a white marble clock. The windows
themselves are inclosed at the top with
a green latticework, which affords all
sorts of possibilities for artistic win-
dow decoration. Both the front and

back of the show windows are of all
glass construction, which practically
makes the whole shop open to the light
and to the view of passers-by, a verit-
able crystal palace of flowers.
‘“Probably the most unique thing and
the most important improvement from
the strictly practical viewpoint is the
system of refrigeration. On either side
of the store will be a refrigerating
system of the newest type established,
which is: strictly hygienic in that it
neither uses ice nor ammonia. This
sort of refrigerator has never been used
in a florist shop before, although gen-
erally adopted by the newer hospitals.
‘At the back the visitor will see
the crowning feature of it all, the foun-
tain court. There, in the center of the

Bride’s Bouquet of Easter Litfies.

tiled floor, spurts a wonderful Italian
fountain by a Boston sculptor. The
court is surrounded by ejght marble
pillars topped with an ornamental
frieze. Above it is an iron and leaded
glass ceiling which will light the court
day and night, for at night there will
be electric lights above the ground glass
to take the place of the sun.

‘‘This new flower shop, with its many
beautiful features, will doubtless be a
center of attraction during the holiday
shopping season.’’

WEDDING DECORATING.

One of the discouraging features with
which tradesmen in some of the smaller
cities and the towns have to contend is
a lack of the spirit of community enter-
prise or cooperation. Hundreds of com-
munities in these United States, accord-
ing to the statisticians, are slowly being
wiped off the map because of lack of
civic pride.

The experts who have made a study
of community ills and their cure say the
large cities—the metropolises — are
growing more populous and wealthier
at the expense of the smaller places.
Looking at the matter in this light, a
large city might be likened to an octo-
pus, which, as it name implies, has a
sac-like body, to which are attached
eight long, snaky arms that feel out in
all directions for sustenance. In the
case of the large city its arms are the
transportation lines, the telephone and
telegraph lines, which reach out. and
draw trade from all the surrounding
territory within a radius of fifty, 100
or more miles.

The best way to put a stop to the
species of dry rot from which so many
communities are suffering is for their
people to buy at home. If he can’t
boost it, the man who is loyal to his
home town won’t knock it. He will try
to think that the merchants of his town
are just as good as or a little better than
the merchants of the next town. And
he will buy from them, for he will be-
lieve in keeping the money in circula-
tion, as much as possible, where he
made it. This_is the pith of the com-
munity development idea. It is an idea
that is fast spreading into a nation-wide
movement that is bound to put every
last one of the decadent towns of this
country on its feet.

Hitherto it has been taken too much
for granted that every man is a prophet
save in his own home town, as applied
especially to the butcher, the baker and
the candlestick maker; the doctor and
the dentist, the lawyer; and, yes, the
florist. As community dwellers we, all
of us, are comimg to realize more and
more that the shoes of Brown, of our
town, are of good average quality and
assortment; that Goldsmith is really an
expert dentist, even though he is a next-
door neighbor; that Jones, our grocer,
can keep our larder supplied as well as
can the average metropolitan store of
the kind; and, to get right down to
brass tacks—to the point about which
this article should revolve, even if it
does not—the public ought to realize,
or, rather, the people of Bloomsburg,
Pa., ought to appreciate that there are
first-class florists at the J. L. Dillon es-
tablishment, equal to any emergency in
their line; the people of Sedalia, Mo.,
ought to do the same by the Archias
Floral Co.

Evidently they do, for the two illus-
trations herewith point the moral that
should adorn this tale. The one illus-
tration shows the photographed interior

of the South M. E. church, of Sedalia,
on the occasion of its being decorated
by the Archias Floral Co. for the Knell-
Meuschke wedding; the other, the in-
terior of the First Presbyterian church,
of Bloomsburg, decorated by the Dillon
forces for the Thanksgiving day Bier-
man-Somerville wedding. In the latter
instance the decorations consisted of
palms, bronze and red oak leaves, bitter-
sweet berries, and chrysanthemums. All
over this broad land are scattered thou-
sands of florists, outside of the larger
centers of commerce, who have reached
the standard of excellence attained by
the Dillon and Archias concerns and ‘the
practice of going away from home for
talent when a church is to be decorated
is becoming less and less prevalent.

LOZIER’S NEW STORE.

In the words of its proprietor, the
new store of H. E. Lozier, at 521 East
Locust street, Des Moines, Ia., ‘‘is
the result of a good many years of
study and hard work in planning an
ideal flower shop; one that is artistic
as well as practical—one in which we
can conduct our business on the highest
plan and give complete and prompt
service, and also keep an attractive and
up-to-date display.’’ The front and
rear interior views of the Lozier store,

duced on page 18, are visual proof

; of. the. proprietors claim that ‘‘it is

perhaps\ one of the best stores in the
country.’’

The old store was at 410 East Sixth
street. The new property was bought
about a year ago and the building, of
three stories and a basement, completely
remodeled. This new store, 20x110
feet, has the best of equipment through-
out, with ample room to handle a large
amount of business. The fixtures are
of quarter-sawed white oak and fin-
ished in natural forest-green+stain. All
the bases are of green Italian marble,
and the tables and counter tops of
glass in white.

The windows are of copper, glass and
tile, no wood being used, for the reason
that it might cause trouble by rotting
out. Back of the windows are large
plate glasses, which slide back and
forth on fiber rollers, there being no
frames; consequently there is no ob-
struction to the sight of passers-by and
those entering and leaving the store.

Three refrigerators are used when
running to capacity. The large display
refrigerator is similar in finish and
style to the other fixtures. It is
equipped to use either ice or artificial
refrigeration and has a cold-air venti-
lating system that can be used during
cool weather. This, Mr. Lozier finds, is
one of the store’s best features, as it

§

keeps the stock better with practically

no expense. The size of this box is
10x10, In the back room is another box
of equal size, which is used for regular
stock. There is a cold-storage room
5x22 feet in the basement. It is used
on special occasions, such as holidays,
for reserve stock, being convenient on
all occasions for greens.

A paragraph is made here for the
especial purpose of calling the read-
er’s attention to the hand-painted pan-

-els high up on both sides of the store.

THE MINNEAPOLIS FLOWER SHOW.

An Excellent Success.

The Minnesota State Horticultural
Society held its forty-ninth annual
meeting at the West hotel, Minneapolis,
December 7 to ‘10, attracting a large
number of people, and the Minnesota
State Florists’ Society, which is an
auxiliary, took advantage of the favor-
able opportunity to stage an excellent
flower show. W. H. Bofferding was su-
perintendent.

The Outside Exhibits.

The exhibits of outside florists were
the special feature of interest and the
Chicago concerns were more numerously
represented than ever before, showing
some extra choice stock.

W. B—II.

The propagation of Ficus elastica by
means of cuttings is generally consid-
ered a somewhat uncertain process, as
the cuttings sometimes fail to rout when
there is no apparent reason for such
failure. Late spring is a favorable time
for the work. Some growers prefer
single-eye cuttings, with only one or

¢

two leaves. Other growers advise the
use of cuttings seven or eight inches
long, always the latest growth and cut
just below a joint, retaining several
leaves. These cuttings are inserted in
2-inch pots of sand and loam. The
pots are plunged in some suitable ma-
terial, and a steady bottom heat of 75
to 80 degrees is maintained. The leaves
are drawn up and tied to a small stake,
so as to save space and facilitate water-
ing. After the first watering, the cut-
tings are kept only moderately moist.
They should be well rooted béfore be-
ing shifted.

However, a much more common and
more successful method of propagating
rubber plants is the so-called mossing
or ringing operation, which is performed
on the tops of the stock plants, so that
the roots are formed on the ‘‘cuttings’’
before the latter are severed from the
parent plant. This system can be em-
ployed at almost any season of the year,
but spring and early summer are the
most favorable periods. The process
consists simply of cutting the stem part-
ly through, at any desired length, pref-
erably below a leaf. Stick a couple of
toothpicks or any small pieces of wood
into the incision to keep it open. Then
bind sphagnum moss tightly over, above
and below the cut made. Keep it con-
stantly moist, and to ensure this keep
the stock plants in a warm, moist and
shaded house, where they can be freely
syringed. Just as soon as roots are
seen peeping through the moss, cut the
tops off and pot them.

The forcing of Easter lilies has been
discussed in recent numbers of The Re-
view. For instance, in the issue of De-
cember 9, page 39, you will find an
article on the subject, and there are
further hints on page 42 of the same
issue.

ton, the annual report of Secretary Ebel
showed that the National Association
of Gardeners has nearly 1,000 members.
The attendance at this meeting was
largely local, but the affair was a pro-
nounced success. The first day, Decem-
ber 9, was devoted to indoor affairs, the
second to sight-seeing.

The business session, in Horticultural
hall, was opened by President Far-
quhar, of the Massachusetts Horticul-
tural Society, who, at the conclusion of
his own remarks, introduced Mayor
Curley and then John H. Dillon, chair-
man of the park board, each of whom
had something pleasant to say of gar-
deners and gardening. J. W. Everitt,
president of the association, then took
the chair and conducted the afternoon’s
proceedings, the essays and discussions
on topics pertaining to the occupation
of private gardener being full of in-
terest.

ended a pleasant day’s enjoyment, al-
though the maximum temperature of
the day did not exceed 20 degrees and
a strong wind was blowing.

Side trips were made by members of
the association to Thomas Roland’s,
Nahant, and to Waban Conservatories,
and to some of the private estates,
while quite a number stopped off with
John F. Huss, at Hartford, Conn., on

the home journey, later visiting A. N.

CHICAGO.
The Annual Meeting.

For the.number present, which was
not large, and for an unqualifiedly
business session, the meeting of the
Chicago Florists’ Club at the Hotel
Morrison, December 9, was marked by
a most unusual display of good-natured
badinage. In fact, it afforded more real
enjoyment to the members than many
of those in which elaborately planned
entertainment programs featured large.
This, perhaps, was due to the spon-
taneity of the wit and chaff that so ef-
fectually kept everyone in a continual
state of jollity.

As all applications for membership
submitted at the last meeting were acted
on at the time, there remained nothing
to be done in that direction. Three
applications were presented during the
evening. They were those of J. E. Poll-
worth, 6943 South Park avenue; W. W.
Randall, 174 North Wabash avenue,
both of Chicago, and Michael Stachnik,
Niles Center, Ill. Two reinstatements
also were reported by the secretary.
They were A. T. Hey, Maywood, and
Samuel Pearce, Chicago.

Secretary French reported for the
benefit of those who wished to attend the
annual exhibition and convention of the
American Carnation Society, to be held
at St. Louis, January 26 and 27, that
they can secure the advantage of a one-
way fare amounting to $5.80. The mat-
ter was referred to the transportation
committee.

Secretary N. P. Miller, of the flower
show executive committee, made a re-
port on the recent Grand Floral Festi-
val, which was not acted on, as it is not
yet complete.

A communication from Richard Vin-
cent, Jr., was read inviting the members
of the club to become members of the
American Dahlia Society. The secre-
tary was instructed to acknowledge its
receipt and place it on file. Next, a
communication from Willidm Amling,
of Maywood, one of the nominees for
the office of club president, was read.
This letter should rank as a master-
piece among encomiastic documents. It
abounded in terms laudatory of A. Hen-
derson, the other nominee for the office,
and urged the acceptance of the
writer’s withdrawal and the unanimous
election 6f Mr. Henderson. Not to be
outdone in generosity, Allie Zech, who

THREE LIVELY
w6 (CLUB MEETINGS

was perforce absent, as he is captain
of the club bowling team, which was in

action, was the author of a-letter in ~

which he apprised the club of his with-
drawal as a nominee for the office of
secretary and said many things highly
complimentary to Guy W. French, the
other nominee.

The next order of business was the
election of officers. A. Henderson was
elected amid much clapping of hands,
the secretary casting one ballot for the
club. In like manner William E.
Tricker was elected vice-president, Guy
W. French, secretary, and Paul R. Kling-
sporn, treasurer. After the casting of
each ballot by the secretary there were
loud calls of ‘‘Speech! Speech!’’ Mr.
Henderson thanked the club for the

confidence reposed in his good judg-
ment, and said he would endeavor to
live up to the specifications. The vice-
president-elect also thanked his fellow
members for the honor conferred upon
him. Guy French said he could not
promise to bring in as many members
during the following year as he has
brought in during the last year, but
that he would promise to do his best.
Paul Klingsporn expressed himself as

SIO

willing to stand watch over all- the
money the members would undertake
to bring in.

H. N. Bruns repeatedly urged upon
the officers his withdrawal as a candi-
date to succeed himself as trustee, but
they either turned a deaf ear or found
him out of order at every attempt, with
the result that he was reélected trustee
in spite of himself. After the various
successful candidates were duly con-
gratulated there was a liberal exchange
of pleasantries from which few escaped.

PHILADELPHIA.

The December Debate.

The new essay committee of the Flo-
rists’ Club under the leadership of G. C.
Watson, is infusing real ginger into
the club meetings. Its idea seems to
be that. an essay committee need not
confine itself to essays; something more
stirring, by way of variety, would be
of advantage. So the committee thought,
or so it is supposed to have thought
when it opened the season by announc-
ing a series of debates on live topics.
The second of these debates was held at
the December meeting, a brief account
of which was given in last week’s
Review.

A curtain raiser, so to speak, in the
shape of a resolution to cut down the
initiation fee, brought on a lively skir-
mish. The election committee wanted to
bring every good florist in the city un-
der the club’s banner by next spring
and so favored the change. Fred Cow-
perthwaite opened the fight in a vehe-
ment talk supporting the measure.
Adolph Farenwald replied, ridiculing
the committee’s move toward cheapness.
Fred. Hahman followed in support of
the measure with one of those carefully
thought out speeches that always have
won the approval of his fellow mem-
bers. W. F. Therkildson opposed the
resolution, believing the price moderate
and that once lowered it would be diffi-
cult to raise it again. Leo Niessen
closed the committee’s side of the argu-
ment in good style. The motion was
lost, however, two to one, but its sup-
porters received recognition in the adop-
tion of Mr. Therkildson’s motion that
the initiation fee be suspended during
January, February and March.

President Burton promptly called for
the subject of the evening—‘‘Is it Wise
for the Producer to Depend Entirely on

the Enterprise of the Retailer for Mar-
keting His Products?’’ Charles H.
Grakelow appeared to take the affirma-
tive side of the question with that air
of aplomb that his friends know and
admire. Aplomb, of course, is a*French
word that is said to describe something
that English fails to do; easy confidence
is the nearest we can come to it. To
resume, Mr. Grakelow said that he
felt absolute certainty as. to his
being on the right side of the argument.
He skillfully outhned the result of a
producer’s action in selling some ‘of his
flowers to chance buyers and by so do-,
ing disappointing his regular customer,
. the retailer. With clever. anecdote Mr.
Grakelow showed that there should be
sympathy between the grower or, his

agent, the wholesaler, and the retailer, ©

so that they might work together for
the common 'good. :

When Mr. Grakelow sat down, the re-
tailers looked jubilant, the growers un-
easy—some a trifle guilty.
Therkildson took the floor for the nega-
tive—his maiden effort at the club—
with confidence that matched Mr.
Grakelow’s. He. avoided the treacher-
ous sands of the retailer expecting the
flowers that his faithless grower never
sent, and took a different line. He
ridiculed Mr. Grakelow’s idea of sym-
pathy, saying that the retailer’s sym-
pathy depended largely on the public
favor shown the stock offered. The
retailers liked, Mr. Therkildson insisted,
to pick out what they wanted and let
the rest go to the ash barrel; it mat-
tered little. The thing for the grower
to do, Mr. Therkildson said, is to cre-
ate a demand for his product. Turning
to the president, he dramatically ex-
claimed, ‘‘Make them want Burton’s
roses! Let people know these roses
are the best and every first-class re-
tailer will have them for his custom-
ers.’’ Continuing, Mr. Therkildson
pointed out the value of advertising,
with examples from the dailies, of Vic-
trolas and razors that every big re-
tailer offered because people wanted
them, not because they were better than
other machines or blades of the same
kind.

Mr. Grakelow regained the floor in
rebuttal. His aplomb increased as he
saw victory within reach. ‘‘The com-
parison,’’ he said, ‘‘ between machines
and perishable goods is absurd. Imag-
ine a grower spending time and money
to advertise a rose, for instance, that
he might not be able to grow the next
season! Take Meteor, the leading rose
in its color fifteen years ago; it is un-
known today; so with Bride and Brides-
maid, and many more. Anyone would
be foolish to spend money in this way.
What he should do is to keep in touch
with his retailer; work with him and
depend on him to find a market for his
product.’’

Mr. Therkildson rallied for his clos-
ing argument in surrebuttal, and did
not allow himself to become dismayed
from start to finish. The claim of his
opponent that perishable goods could not
be compared with those that were not
perishable was without foundation, he
announced. ‘‘ Was not milk perishable?
What about various kinds of food?
Was not money spent in making people
familiar with the merits thereof, and
so encouraging demand for them in the
retail shop?’’ Mr. Therkildson de-
scribed the methods used in stimulating
the demand for various products and
urged that many of these methods might

be advantageously adopted by growers
of cut flowers and plants.

Mr. Farenwald said that he believed
both speakers were right. He instanced
Robert Simpson, of Clifton, N. J., who
advertised his product every day of the
year by aiming to get it to his whole-
saler in the best possible condition for
the retailers’ use. After considerable
discussion by other speakers, the club
voted in the negative, believing that
some effort should be made by the
growers to increase the demand for
their product, not in the tricky way of
taking flowers from the retailers when
they wanted them, but in the broader
way of doing something to increase
public interest in their product.

NEW YORK.

The Annual Meeting.

Notwithstanding the blizzard Decem-
ber 13, the attendance at the annual
meeting of the New York Florists’ Club
was up to the average, about 100 of its
450 members braving the rigors of win-
ter and taking part in the election of
officers for 1916. The balloting resulted
as follows:

President—Henry Weston.

Vice-president—G. E, M. Stumpp.

Secretary—John Young.

Treasurer—W. C. Rickards.

Trustees—Charles Schenck,
Wilson, Max Schling.

Interesting addresses were made by

Robert

each of the new officials present, pledg-
ing loyalty and enthusiastic service.

H. F. Winter and C. H. Allendale
were elected to membership.

A. L. Miller suggested that the Na-
tional Flower Show at Philadelphia
appoint one day as New York day and
Messrs. Miller, Duckham, Traendly,
Totty and Manda were appointed a
committee to complete arrangements to
this end, including a special train for
the New York delegation.

Messrs. Traendly and Miller reported
progress in the way of cups and cash
prizes for the New York spring show,
and President Bunyard suggested con-
tributions and prizes from all the club’s
members. The prospects for a great
success seem already assured.

Resolutions on the deaths of E. Molz
and Mrs. Dorval were read and ordered
spread on the minutes. Messrs. Vick,
Sperling, Deamud, Rickards and Bun-
yard were appointed a committee to
draw up resolutions on the death of W.
Atlee Burpee, of Philadelphia.

R. Vincent, Jr., of White Marsh, Md.,
addressed the club on behalf of the
American Dahlia Society, already hav-
ing a membership of nearly 300. He
reported a widespread interest in this
society, of which he is president, and
which he said will win a record of over
a thousand members before the close of
its first year’s existence. The prospect
for representation on the executive
board of the 8S. A. F. is encouraging,
he said. Mr. Vincent will give a stere-
opticon lecture December 16, before the

International Garden Club, Pelham
Park, N. Y., on ‘‘The Dahlia and the
Geranium.’’ :

The exhibits were most interesting.
R. J. Irwin staged pompon chrysan-
themums and Charles Smith’s Sons, of
Woodside, showed their new mum, Mis-
tletoe, a large late white with pink
shading; also a fine vase of their new
single mum, unnamed, pink and greatly
admired. These were staged by Philip
Kessler. Ao

A. J. Guttman staged a seedling car-
nation, Emma, from Frank Dinda, of
Farmingdale, and a vase of Gorgeous
from B. Willig, of Poughkeepsie. The
club’s thanks were accorded these.

Mr. Guttman also placed on exhibi-
tion the rose from the Florex Gardens
which has been exhibited before as
_Prima Donna. It was asserted that this
rose has been known to rose growers
for years as Mme. Paul Euler. At the
last meeting of the clib an award of
merit was accorded the rose under the
name Prima Donna‘and after some dis-
cussion by Messrs. Totty, O’Mara and
Wallace R. Pierson it was voted to
rescind this award and place the ex-
hibit of the rose under its original

WANTS MORE VARIETIES.

Will A. F. J. B. give me some help
in the selection of carnations to be
added to my stock? I can judge their
merits only by comparison with the
Enchantress varieties, which are the
only ones I grow. I wish especially to
get particulars about the comparative
productiveness of the proposed varie-
ties, their quality, their ease of propa-
gation and the size which they attain
in the field. The Enchantress varieties
do excellently for me, but I wish to
try some others. J. D.—Pa.

Perhaps there has never been a fam-
ily of carnations more peculiarly
adapted to the wants of the smaller
grower than Enchantress and its sports.
They make good plants in the field,
propagate easily and thrive under ordi-
nary culture, giving a fair grade of
blooms where other varieties would be
almost worthless. That does not mean,
however, that this strain is perfect, be-
cause, after being tried thoroughly, it
was found to be wanting in some essen-
tial points, and expert growers are turn-
ing to other varieties to a large extent.
They have found that by giving each
variety the little special treatment re-
quired, just as the rose grower and mum
grower do, they are able to turn out an
article far superior in some of the es-
sential qualities. Here are some of the
best varieties:

White Wonder will outbloom White
Enchantress nearly two to one. The
color is better and there are fewer
splits. It makes a fine plant in the
field and comes into bloom early, with
long stems, and the production is steady
through the season.

name, to which Mr. Guttman readily
assented. The committee then gave the
rose a standing of eighty-six points and
a preliminary certificate.

The New President.

Henry Weston was born at Enfield,
London, England, in 1866. He served
four years’ apprenticeship with H. B.
May, at Edmonton, and came to New
York in 1888. In America his first‘ en-
gagement was with W. C. Wilson, of
Astoria, L. I., where he was foreman
for two years. . He left Astoria to take
the management of the L. L. Lorillard
estate. After two years with Harry
Chappell, of Williamsport, Pa.,; he ac-
cepted a position with the late Herman
Dyer, of Woodside, L. I. Twenty-two
years ago he commenced business on
his own account in both the wholesale
and retail line and has now 85,000

square feet of glass devoted to a great

variety of stock, sweet peas and carna-
tions being his specialties. For seven
years he was president of the Growers’
Cut Flower Co. He is president of the
school board in his home district, was
grand master of the Shield of Honor
Society, and is a prominent Odd Fellow.

IONS

Matchless will give just about the
same number of blooms as White En-
chantress. The form of flower is bet-
ter, and it will keep twice as long and
ship twice as far without bruising or
going to sleep. There are no splits and
the stem is wiry. It sometimes shows a
pink flake in the petal.

Enchantress Supreme is a sport from
old Enchantress. It seems to excel the
parent variety in all particulars except
the keeping qualities, which are about
the same in both. Enchantress Su-
preme has a better color and does not
split the calyx.

Pink Delight is a much better shipper
and a freer bloomer. The bloom when
it opens is smaller, but it grows until
almost as large as Enchantress. Grow-
ers who ship their stock are planting
this variety in increased quantity from
year to year.

Alice is making friends by its per-
sistence in blooming. The blooms are
hardly as large as those of Enchant-
ress, but almost twice as plentiful. It
seems to keep well and should be a
good one for almost any grower.

Mrs. C. W. Ward is conceded to be
near perfection as a medium pink, as
far as quality is concerned, but anyone
who has ever grown it will agree that
it is not as free as Enchantress.

Good Cheer seems to be one of the
best, if not absolutely the best, of last
spring’s offerings. It is a lively me-
dium pink, with a fine stem. It has no
splits and is a free bloomer. It should
make a fine shipper, as the blooms have
exceptional keeping qualities.

Champion is making good here as a
commercial scarlet. It will come into
bloom just as early as you will let it
and will bloom freely. The flowers
have good color and size, and last well.

Pocahontas is conceded to be the best
of all the crimsons. It is of high qual-
ity, has a good, stiff stem and never
splits. It is as free as Enchantress
and is a steady bloomer.

Yellow Prince is the only yellow to
grow. <A limited quantity should prove
valuable to any grower.

Benora is the variegated sort that is

_grown to the exclusion of all others.

It is free-flowering, has a good stem
and calyx, and keeps exceptionally
well, .

J.D. should plan to buy a limited
quantity of each of the new varieties
as they are offered to the trade. He
will not get a good one every time,
but he will get what good ones are
offered and. his list of varieties will al-
ways be up-to-date. It is not best to
wait until after a variety has beeh on
the market long enough to make sure
of its worth. By that time it has spent
at least two years of its life and the
life of a variety is short enough at
best. You want the good ones just as
soon as you can get hold of them and
you can afford to put up with a few
failures to get the good ones. And,
after all, the failures are really not so
many, if we would only have patience
to give them a thorough trial and a fair
chance. A. FS. B.

DO NOT USE TOBACCO STEMS.

I wish to get a little information
about the fumigation of carnations
with tobacco stems. I have carnations
and sweet peas in the same house, The
sweet. peas are in bud and the carna-
tions need fumigating. Could I fumi-
gate the carnations without affecting
the sweet peas in any way, or would
they be caused to drop their buds?
There is another question, also, which I
should like to have you answer. When
I filled my propagating bench, I put
some ashes at the bottom, but I wa-
tered the ashes well before putting on
the sand. Will the ashes injure the
cuttings in any way? I understand
that there is an acid in the fresh ashes,
but I believed that if I watered them
well I could get the acid out.

W. G. F. G.—Mo.

It is better not to fumigate with
tobacco stems at all. There is danger
of getting the smoke too strong and
causing the sweet pea buds to drop.
Up-to-date growers do not employ this
method of fumigation any more. Those
who do fumigate that way seem to
labor under the false impression that
they are saving money because they
can buy tobacco stems for next to
nothing. They do not take into ac-
count the inconvenience and loss occa-
sioned by their use. The modern method
is to use a nicotine extract, either
spraying it on the plants with a com-
pressed air sprayer or vaporizing it by
putting it on the steam pipes. ‘

Those ashes will not injure your cut-
tings, but I do not understand why
they should be required. A. F. J. B..

POISONOUS GAS IN HOUSES?

Every grower has trouble of his own,
but we seem to have more than our
share of it. Our trouble is rust, or what
appears to be rust. The disease first
attacked the mums, the leaves showing
the ravages quite plainly. Then a bed
of 1,000 lettuce plants wilted, turned
black and succumbed. Following this,

DECEMBER 16, 1915,

The Florists’ Review

&

a batch of potted tomato plants, which
were scheduled to follow the mums,
went down to defeat. It appeared as
if more moisture was needed in this
ease. Then a new lot of roses wilted
and turned black. Four varieties of
primulas went by the same route. Our
begonias, geraniums, ferns and miscel-
laneous plants do not give any evidence
of being touched by the disease.

As remedies we have used lime, sul-
hur and tobacco dust in the soil, and

ave fumigated the houses with sul-
phur. All affected stock has been dis-
carded. The beds not planted to any-
thing have been treated with lime, sul-
phur, tobacco dust and salt. We use
hot water heat and the houses are well
ventilated. Is there anything else we
ean do to check the disease? Any in-
formation will be appreciated.

C. F. C.—Kan.

I can readily understand the rust be-
ing on the mums, but I do not under-
stand why the lettuce and tomato plants
wilted and turned black. This would
indicate that the water is strongly im-
pregnated with alkali, or that there is
poisonous gas in the house.

According to your description, the
rose trouble probably is due to gas, but
you are in a position to know whether
there are gas pipes through the houses
or-in the immediate vicinity. Plants do
not wilt and turn black without some
well defined cause. I would not recom-
mend the use of lime, sulphur and to-
bacco dust in the soil, as the roots will
never work freely through a soil that
has either sulphur or salt in it.

I think C. F. C. has tried too hard
to rectify the trouble on his plants and
that the cure has been as bad as the
disease. I would suggest that he throw
out the soil that has received the ap-
plications of sulphur, ete., and fill in
with new loam. With new soil and, as
before stated, seeing that no poisonous
gas is escaping from pipes, there is no
reason why C. F. C. should not have
success. Chas. H. Totty.

DICKSON WINS.

The widely advertised prize of $1,000
for novelty roses offered by the Pan-
ama-Pacific Exposition Co., San Fran-
cisco, has been awarded to Alexander
Dickson & Son, Belfast, Ireland. The
successful variety is rich yellow, with
long, full bud.

MORE IMMORTELLES.

In common with other horticultural
supplies from Europe, shipments of im-
mortelles from France continue as in
other years. Instead of being scarce
and high-priced, as one would at first
thought believe, immortelles are in suffi-
cient supply to meet the demand, and
prices are on the easy side, because the
foreign markets have not been able to
dispose of their usual quantity this
year.

rived at New York last week brought

BUSINESS EMBARRASSMENTS.

Chatham, N. J.—Bids for the real
estate and other property of Samuel
Lum, who was declared bankrupt last
July, will be considered by creditors of

Chrysanthemum Elvia Scoville.

the bankrupt at a meeting to be held
before Referee Atwood L. De Coster, in
the Bankruptcy court, at Newark, De-
cember 20. A private bid of $14,250
recently was made for three acres of
the Lum property, the homestead, green-
houses, barn, plants, flowers and other
property, but the attorney representing
creditors with claims of $23,000 pro-
tested in behalf of his clients, against
the acceptance of the offer. The cred-
itors’ counsel stated that the green-
houses alone cost $52,000 to build and
the residence is worth at least $25,000.
Moreover, he said, the creditors them-
selves offer $22,500 for the property.
The arguments for and against the ac-
ceptance of the bid of $14,250 were
heated and a lively session is expected
December 20.

ANOTHER WHITE SPORT.

How does it H€ppey that so many of
the new things’ this year are sports?
Can anybody tell®

At any rate here’s another. It is
Chrysanthemum Elvia Scoville, a white
sport of Wells’ Late Pink, which origi-
nated with Walter Angus, a private
gardener at Chapinville, Conn. The en-
tire stock recently was acquired by A.
N. Pierson, Inc., Cromwell, Conn., and
will be disseminated as an exhibition
variety.

Just as an item of interest, the flower
used for the photograph reproduced on

this page was received on the Pierson
place the day W. R. Pierson, the official
photographer, left for the Cleveland
show, so it was photographed nearly
two weeks later, showing the excellent
keeping qualities of the variety.

OBITUARY.

William H. Johnson.

William H. Johnson, for many years
a florist at Worcester, Mass., died at
his home in Worcester December 6. Mr.
Johnson was born in England seventy-
six years ago and came to this country
when a young man. He is survived by
his wife, two daughters, Miss Grace
Johnson and Mrs. Oscar Hoyle, and two
brothers, Charles and Henry.

Samuel Bide.

To many Americans the name of Sam-
uel Bide is familiar through the pur-
chase of his rose novelties and nursery
stock. He was head of the firm of 8S.
Bide & Sons, Alma Nurseries, Farnham,
England, and died November 25 at the
age of 73.° He died in harness, as he
was busy on the previous evening with
various matters connected with the busi-
ness. His sons, A. R. and H. E. Bide,
have taken a prominent share in the
management, so that the control of the
business for the future will be in able
hands.

RESULTS.
We give them. You get them.
We both have them.

Was it a florist who first wrote Christ-
mas as Xmas, with the X large, as on
ten-dollar bills?

THE, question who is and who is not
entitled to trade prices never can be set-
tled by rule, but always will be deter-
mined by the exigencies of the seller. ,

THE prediction is made that the call
for cuttings of Matchless carnation this
season will be even stronger than a year
ago. It is gaining new friends every
day.

THERE have been times and places, of
course, where chrysanthemums did not
do well, but on the whole the trade has
enjoyed one of the best mum seasons of
recent years.

NEW FLOWER-HOLDER PATENTED.

A patent has been granted to Antonio
Salari, of Bisbee, Ariz., assignor of one-
half interest to William Ledgerwood,
also of Bisbee, for a novel flower-holder
that is designed to contain flowers worn
on the person. The holder is attached
to the garment of the wearer by means
of a pin and has a novel device whereby
moisture can be supplied tv the flowers.
The receptacle containing the moisture
is so constructed that the contents can-
not escape, thus avoiding the possibility
of soiling the garment to which the
holder is attached. Mr. Ledgerwood
states that the invention will be manu-
factured and marketed later on.

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:

THREE YEARS.

Groschupf, Ernest B., Trinidad, Colo.
Cremer, Frank, Hanover, Pa.

TWO YEARS.

Perkins, George, Fulton, N. Y.
Paulsen, J., Rogers Park, Chicago.
_Phillips, V. V., Brigham, Utah.
Thiemann, Herman, Owosso, Mich.
Magnuson, aay Kane, Pa.
Siebold, qa , Lancaster, Pa.

The povien 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 are sent.

A. C. 8S. PREMIUM SCHEDULE.

Secretary A. F. J. Baur, of the Amer-
ican Carnation Society, announced under
date of December 9 that the premium
schedules covering the exhibits at the
annual meeting of the society, to be
held at St. Louis, January 26 and 27,
1916, would be mailed in a few days.
In Mr. Baur’s own words, ‘‘the delay
was caused by mouth disease’’—there
is no trouble with the secretary’s foot
—an ulcerated tooth, which had con-
fined Mr. Baur to his home for a week.

PLANTS SELLING WELL.

From all reports, the growers who
specialize in blooming plants for the
holidays have been having wonderful
business during the last few days.
Dozens of advertisers have written The
Review to omit items from advertise-
ments ordered for publication this issue
and in so doing have commented on the
flood of orders that have come in dur-
ing the week following the appearance
of the Christmas Number, the arrival of
which seems to be the signal for the
buyers to get busy.

The cyclamen appears to be the popu-
lar plant. While other things sell well,
the cyclamen sells best of all and many
a grower is cleaned out. The azalea
does not seem to be in such large de-
mand as one would have expected from
the anxiety over the arrival of the stock
from Belgium this season.

TELEGRAPH DELIVERY.

Albert Pochelon, secretary of the F.
T. D., under date of December 10, has
issued the following notice to members:

‘At the meeting of the Florists’
Telegraph Delivery held at Cleveland,
O., it was decided by officers and mem-
bers present that on bills not paid with-
in thirty days from member to member
the discount of twenty per cent shall
be forfeited. This would help to do
away with a lot of unpleasant feeling
and also would help us find out people
who are negligent in paying their bills.
If we wish to have any further success
in the F. T. D. we must have prompt
paying members on our list.

‘«The responsibility of the F. T. D.
through this act becomes a much
greater value than it has been hereto-
fore, so please do not let bills to F. T.
D. members hang fire, but settle them
as quickly as possible.

‘“When you make out your statement
on January 1, send the secretary a list
of all bills overdue and owed to you by

members of F. T. D.; these bills will
have to be settled immediately and
members refusing to do so will lose the
twenty per cent and their names are
liable to be taken off our list.

‘‘The tone of this letter may seem
harsh, but it is the only way to uphold
the prestige of the F. T. D.’’

HERE, TOO.

While the United States does not
share the British view of things Ger-
man, the war has resulted in stopping
imports of many florists’ supplies for-
merly obtained exclusively from Ger-
many and, on the question of develop-
ing home manufacture, the United
States is in position to endorse in its:
own behalf the British view as ex-
pressed in the following clipping from
the Horticultural Trade Journal:

‘‘Plorists are feeling the suspension
of importations of preserved flowers,
foliage and grasses which came from
Germany. There’s no disputing the
fact that the Germans are past masters
in the drying, preserving and dyeing of
these things, but must it be said that
the British are incapable of catering
for their own requirements in this direc-
tion? There’s a grand opening for any-
body who will turn out really creditable
stuff, and I cannot see why we should
have to depend upon .Germany for such
things as statice, echinops, butcher’s
broom and physalis, nor indeed for pre-
served maidenhair and asparagus or
beech and prunus, or even gnaphalium.
We certainly can grow all these things,
and it is only for the want of trying
that we haven’t equaled the Germans
in preserving them.’’

CHICAGO.

The Market.

Even the most exacting man in the
trade could ask for no better market
conditions, taking it by and large, than
those now existing. Stock in practical-
ly every line is scarce enough to be
selling clean at market quotations.
Quality, with but a few exceptions, is
up to the standard. As for the de-
mand, if the weather has anything to
do with it, and we.all believe it has,
it should be most excellent, for Chi-
cago has been enjoying a week of real
old-fashioned winter.

A year ago business was™ decidedly
unsatisfactory in the east and, as a
result, the eastern growers, finding their
home market unable to handle their
output, dumped thousands of American
Beauties, a large number of orchids and
quantities of general stock onto the
Chicago market. This year the eastern
demand is sufficient to take care of
eastern grown stock, and, though east-
ern Beauties have arrived in some quan-
tity during the last fortnight, several
Chicago wholesale houses have received
eastern wires ordering large quantities
of roses, thus practically reversing the
present situation from that of last
year. In addition to this change, the
demand in this market is at least nor-
mal for the time of the season.

Though there is no longer any fear
of a decided shortage of roses for the
Christmas demand, they are yet scarce
enough to clear daily at quoted prices.
Naturally enough, the colored varieties
have a long lead over white, but these
are generally cleared before the day
ends, though not at a high figure.

DECEMBER 16, 1915.

shipments.

f A.L. RANDALL CO.

Many Russells show the effect of the
dark days and Killarney has suffered
in color.

The supply of carnations is far short
of the present demand and the compe-
tition to secure sufficient to fill shipping
orders is accordingly keen. The red va-
rieties are usually snapped up as soon
as they are unpacked, but nothing in
the shape of a carnation stays on the
tables long. Paper Whites in fair quan-
tity and excellent quality are clearing
regularly. Of single violets there are
not enough to meet the demand, and
doubles are none too plentiful. Pansies
are available, but the demand for them
is erratic. There is still a scattering
of chrysanthemums on the market, but
they hold no appeal for the buyer.
Easter lilies are in good supply and
move with a little more ease since
mums have withdrawn from the spot-
light. Callas remain more nearly sta-
tionary. Mignonette and stevia are
selling well. The supply of valley, by
way of a change, is easily sufficient to
meet all demands. Choice sweet peas
remain good sellers. Cattleyas are
scarce and where obtainable bring a
fancy price without a quibble. Per-
civaliana is not wanted if Triane can
be had, but sells for lack of a larger
flower. The excellent poinsettias on the
market attract much attention and
many buyers.

Green goods of all kinds are in evi-
dence everywhere. Winter berries,
holly and mistletoe give a holiday dress
to the market, while the number of
boxwood wreaths continues to grow.
Sprengeri is clearing right along and
plumosus is selling well, though there

is enough for the demand. Smilax,
however, seems to be moving a trifle
slowly, but perhaps this is the effect of
comparison. Boxwood enjoys a splen-
did demand.

Christmas Prospects.

Several days of dark weather gave
the growers and wholesalers a chill last
week and warmed up the buyers quite
perceptibly, but bright, cold weather
at the opening of this week has served
to restore confidence in the Christmas
supply, both as to size and quality.

It is quite generally the opinion that
roses will be equal to all requirements.
Orders are coming in nicely since the
appearance of the Christmas Number
of The Review with the advance quota-
tions and there are those who note that
an unusual proportion of the orders call
for the better grades of roses. The
orders are being booked at lower prices

than last year, with the idea that
cleaner sales and better average re-
turns to the growers will result.

Many wholesalers have begun to fear
that carnations will be short, some of
them having decided they will be less
plentiful even than two years ago, and
in a number of cases advance quota-
tions have been withdrawn and higher
lists substituted.

It is thought single violets also will
be scarce, and cattleyas will not be in
large supply. Other seasonable stock
is expected to equal the demand.

completion, and Mr. Henderson be-
lieves the new store will be ready for
occupancy before Christmas.

December 14 was celebrated at 4248
Hazel avenue as the birthday anniver-
sary of Emil Buettner, but the number
of his years is not of record. Though
only in the prime of life, Mr. Buettner
is one of the oldest men in the trade
in point of years spent in the occu-
pation. ;

It was December 15, °1867, that
George Stollery, now one of the heavy-
weights of the trade, first looked upon
the world. Today he is so successful
a flower merchant that he is president
of the Chicago Retail Florists’ Asso-

Various Notes.

In making planting plans for 1916 at
Peter Reinberg’s it is contemplated
that ten of the twenty-two houses now
given to Beauties will be used for
larger quantities of Russell, Milady and
Ophelia. There are many thousands of
rose and carnation cuttings already in
the sand.

The Florists’ Review

DECEMBER 16, 1915.

‘‘his wealth passed the million mark
some time ago.’’, Now, what do you
know about that?

After canvassing the Christmas situa-
tion, O. W. Frese, of Poehlmann Bros.
Co., says the demand will be the larg-
est ever known, with enough stock in
all lines except carnations, which he be-
lieves will be decidedly scarce.

After visiting a number of growers
in the Rogers Park section, N. J.
Wietor has decided that carnations will
be in decidedly short supply for Christ-
mas. He says it will not surprise him
if they turn out, compared to demand,
as shorter than at any Christmas in
ten years.

Not only is fragrance one of the
popular points of Carnation Matchless,
but C. L. Washburn says the pink tinge
in some of the flowers is liked by many
of the customers of Bassett &
Washburn.

A scheme for keeping his display
windows clear of frost and at the same
time well illuminated has been worked
out by H. C. Mulder, doing business
as the University Florist, 1121 East
Fifty-fifth street. He has installed a
row of gas jets at the lower front of
the window. The heat from these
keeps the glass ¢lear, and he says the
additional heat thrown back into the
store more than makes up for the ex-
pense of running them by reducing the
fuel bill.

A. C. Kohlbrand was at Minneapolis
last week to stage the display made at
the show there by the E. C. Amling Co.
He speaks highly of the affair, which
was a thorough success, and brought
back a number of Christmas orders for
his house.

Growers in and about Chicago re-
ceived a visit from Paul Klingsporn,
manager of the (hicago Flower Grow-
ers’ Association, last week. He reports
stock in fine shape for Christmas, but
is inclined to believe it will not be
overplentiful.

If it were not for the Christmas ac-
tivity in the plant department of the
John Kruchten Co., Miss Agatha M.
Greeley would be home with a severe
cold. As it is, she is on the job willy-
nilly.

The sales force in J. A. Budlong’s
is obliged to work harder than ever,
with its old standby, Fred Price, at
home with a severe cold.

By some lucky chance, Arthur Paster-
nick, 1354 Catalpa avenue, one of the
old guard in Bassett & Washburn’s
wholesale house, still has something to
spend for Christmas. One afternoon
last week, in the absence of his fam-
ily, an attempt was made to enter his
apartment. The thieves had almost
succeeded in cutting away the wood
about the front door lock when dis-
turbed. Had their efforts been success-
ful Mr. Pasternick would have been in
a disagreeable position, as rent and
Christmas money and other articles of
value were on a table, ready for them.

Those who have eccasion to visit the
Chicago wholesale market regularly will
learn with sincere regret of the untime-
ly death of Frank H. Timmerhoff, for
three years cashier -with the A. L.
Randall Co. Mr. Timmerhoff, who had
been sick but eleven days, died at 10
a. m., December 12, of autotoxemia.
He was 25 years of age and had been
married but three months. His wife,
his mother and an unmarried sister
survive him. The funeral was from his
late residence, 2527 Ballou street, De-

A display of Indian berries in the
window of George Weiland, Evanston,
is attracting no little attention. The
berries seem to grow on the branches
in thick clusters of a most brilliant
red and are in great demand for Christ-
mas decorative work.

The florists’ trade was represented in
the Rotary Business Show, held in the
Sherman hotel, December 9 and 10, by
the Charles Schneider Floral Co., 32
West Washington street, which staged
an attractive display of roses and mis-
cellaneous stock. As only one man

plantsmen are correspondingly happy.
As to cut flowers, the promise is for an
abundant supply. Prices are reason-
able. American Beauty roses are of
splendid quality and the best are firm
at 35 to 40 cents each, with a rising
tendency. The usual advance for these
to 75 cents and $1 is expected.

Last week there was a scarcity of
almost every variety of rose. Larger
shipments have been promised for this
week, but the supply, it is believed,

sponsibilities growing daily in his three-
fold office, has had a busy December
to date. With the big flower shows
demanding constantly greater atten-

thing is moving upward and onward.

There are no downtown windows in

artistic display in the Stumpp &
Walter Co.’s big show section. The
Japan and China display has vanished
and the first snow storm is depicted.

The stores of the MacNiff Horticul-
tural Co. are appropriately decorated
for the holidays.

Harry A. Bunyard lectured Decem-
ber 10 at Barton before the Interna-
tional Garden Club. He was accom-
panied by Arthur Herringtow, of Madi-
son, N. J., who is its manager.

William J. Elliott is still confined to
his home, his injuries being greater
than at first reported.

The Associated Retail Florists en-
joyed a harmony dinner last week at
the Hotel McAlpin. The New York
and New Jersey Association of Plant
Growers will have a banquet there.

The Kervan Co. has had a wonderful
shipping season. Its show windows dis-
play a score of southern evergreen spe-

cialties. The firm’s force has been
doubled and work goes on night and
day.

Guttman & Raynor are disseminating
their new pink mum, the Alex. Guttman.

Woodrow & Marketos have filled their
big store with a fine collection of flow-
ering and foliage plants, palms and
ferns, and have doubled their force for
the holiday business.

LL. B. Coddington, of Murray Hill,
N. J., was in this city last week as a

The Market.

There was a noticeable change in the
condition of the market last week.
Chrysanthemums are nearly over with.
A few late Nonins and Chadwicks seem
to constitute the stock now to be had.
These are selling well. American Beau-
ty roses are more plentiful and are
bringing better prices, selling up to $5
~ per dozen. Some fine locally grown
cyclamens, azaleas, begonias and pans
of poinsettias now are to be had. All of
these are meeting a good demand. The
supply of gardenias has increased con-
siderably. These flowers are bringing
from $3 to $6 per dozen. The supply of
carnations seems to have shortened ma-
terially. Carnations are quite back-
ward this year and there are not enough
of them to go around. They are bring-
ing from $3 to $6 per hundred as
against $2 and $3 per hundred late
last month.

The prices on roses have stiffened
considerably and some of the better
grades are bringing up to $15 per hun-
dred. All varieties now to be had clean
up well daily. The weather has been
cloudy of late, but despite this fact

Mock and Radiance are among the
leaders in long stems, large flowers,
good foliage and, incidentally, high
prices. Some extra fine Richmond roses
are offered at $15 per hundred. Single
violets have increased in quantity and
are overshadowing the doubles, for they
are by far the favorites in this sec-
tion. Snapdragon is increasing in popu-
larity for table decorations. Valley is
holding its own. There are plenty of
Easter lilies on the market.

Importers of florists’ supplies are
chafing at the delay experienced in get-
ting through shipments of German and
Austrian goods held up by the British
blockade. <A representative of several
of the Philadelphia houses, when seen
by The Review’s correspondent, de-
clared that considerable fault could be
found with the officials of the British
embassy and of the British foreign of-
fice, because applications for permits for
the movement of such goods, submitted
three or four months ago, have not yet
been acted upon. ‘‘It is strange,’’ he
declared, ‘‘that no steps have been tak-
en to either grant my clients the neces-
sary permits guaranteeing the safe pas-
sage of the goods, which were bought
and paid for prior to March 1, or to re-
ject the applications. Some of the
goods involved will be of little use un-
less received soon. It is far too late
now to expect them in time for the
Christmas business and there is no tell-
ing just when they will be allowed
shipment from Rotterdam.’’

The Market.

The holiday trade has become vigor-
ous. All the stores have been compelled
to engage extra help. The growers are
well contented. There is plenty of ev-
erything except carnations. Quantities
of good blooming plants are to be had,
as well as Christmas greens, which are
exceptionally satisfactory this season.
The holly is well berried and boxwood
is good and fresh.

The cut flower stock is satisfactory
as to supply and the quality is fine.
Roses are in good condition and sell
well. Pink and white varieties are
more plentiful. Yellows are fairly so.
Reds are scarce. Prices are somewhat
better than of late. American Beauties
are good. Fancy grades bring fair
prices. Carnations are of excellent qual-
ity and scarce. Violets are plentiful
and sell well. Sweet peas are arriving.
They are good and sell well. Although
orchids and gardenias are not over-
plentiful, the demand is fair. Cypripe-

George T. Boucher has an attractive
holiday window in which he is making
a specialty of automobile wreaths. He
has a good display of red azaleas that
are selling rapidly.

Ed. Ogston, of the Kimball conserva-
tories, has a large crop of cypripediums.
He has cut over 1,000 of them within
the last few weeks. His collection of
carnations includes many of the latest
varieties.

J. C. Brown, of the Eggleston, says
trade is picking up wonderfully.

Arthur Zirkman, of M. Rice Co.,
Philadelphia, was here December 11.
He said business is rushing with his
house.

The uptown florists had a busy day
December 7, owing to the funeral of
Lieutenant Force, whose death resulted
from an accident on a United States

Salter Bros. are making a good dis-
play of vases, ete., of a new kind of art
ware. They are also showing in their
window the large silver cup and the
five individual cups won in the bowling
competition of the Cleveland, Buffalo
and Rochester clubs. The cups are the
property of the Rochester Florists’
Bowling Club.

J. B. Keller Sons have a large quan-
tity of beautiful baskets on display.
They are made of needle pine and bal-

sam, with cones of red and bronze.
Their business is exceptionally good.
An effective window display in Wil-
son’s for the last week end had a large,
gayly decorated Christmas tree as the
center of attraction. At the base of
the tree were flower boxes tied with
Christmas ribbons, and with address
tags attached. Other seasonable bas-
kets and wreaths were nicely arranged.
Hugo Teute is growing a large quan-
tity of Melior begonias. They will be
in their prime for Christmas. About
800 eyclamens in full bloom also are
ready. His poinsettias are in big de-
mand. Business with him has increased

PHILADELPHIA.

The Market.

The market is tight. That rather
rapid language is purely technical. It
implies that, the vast wave of chrysan-
themums having passed, there are not
enough flowers to fill the void. The ex-
tremely cold weather and the snow
storm have cut down the supply, as
such weather always does, until the
supply is insufficient for the demand.
Good judges say that we will have a
good supply of flowers next week; we
have them not now, and the prices have
advanced. The most pronounced fea-
tures of the market of today are the
absence of carnations and the shortage
of short roses. Nobody thinks carna-
tions are being saved for Christmas;
prices preclude that, for they are bring-
ing nearly as much now as they often
have brought at Christmas, except on
red. They are simply scarce—the
flowers do not develop in dark, cold
weather. Good bright colors are bring-
ing unusual prices—see list—and even
white sells well. The funny thing
about it is that the poor grades of
carnations often sell better than the
top grade, price considered. This con-
dition will not last, because the best
will sell best at Christmas. The same
fact applies to roses. The _ short-
stemmed stock, though not necessarily
poor, sells better than the long-stemmed
stock and has done so for a fortnight.
Valley is about the only flower in ex-
cess of the demand. Everything else
goes quickly save violets; their pace
is moderate. Sweet peas are a trifle
more plentiful. French trumpets have
reénforced Paper Whites, which are
active. Stevia is good and poinsettias
can be had on orders. The Christmas

Christmas Plants.

The market of this city, which sup-
plies a vast territory with blooming
and foliage plants for the holidays, is
unusually well supplied with fine
stock. ‘‘Craig has cyclamens’’ is what

the florists here say. That is the ver-
nacular; translated into plain, everyday
English, it means that the Robert
Craig Co. has finished its cyclamens
extremely well. The finish and timing
are a little better than ever before, and
the fact that large as well as me-
dium sizes are well represented makes
the stock most attractive. It is often
said that the begonias at the Craig place
at Norwood are bouquets—each plant

a bouquet in itself. This is true today
of the cyclamens as well as of the be-
gonias. The poinsettias are nicely flow-
ered and showy. The Christmas color
on Dracena terminalis is rich. The
other dracenas, the crotons and the
ferns are fine.

The claim of the Godfrey Aschmann
place that its stock is larger and finer
than that of other years is substanti-
ated by the appearance of the place.
The carried-over azaleas, in six of the
best varieties, are fine, while the be-
gonias, including those ever-popular,
free-blooming sorts of the Erfurt type,
and the ferns, are prominent in a com-
prehensive collection of the best vari-
eties of flowering and foliage plants.
Araucarias are favorites.

Aschmann Bros. have built up and
are increasing their plant business by
producing quantities of good stock of
the kinds that are wanted. Their Christ-
mas stock is well grown and varied,
including cyclamens, grown more large-
ly than in the past, poinsettias, azaleas,
primulas, ferns, etc.

Current Events.

Bernard Eschner spoke a few days
ago of the interesting effect of the war
on supplies. A number of cases of im-
mortelles just received from France fur-
nished the subject. Formerly, immor-
telles came in boxes of uniform size,
125 bunches to a case, twenty-five
bunches to a layer, five layers in each
case, with waterproof paper between.
This time the cases were of uneven
size, lined with newspaper and the im-
mortelles thrown in any way. Nothing
could more clearly show the absence of
the regular packers, who are at the
front. By the way, Mr. Eschner says
it was his father-in- ‘law, not his grand-
father, who was married in the new
1220, where the big Rice Co. building
is going up on Spring Garden street.
While the wedding occurred in this
house fifty-six years ago, Mr. Eschner’s
father-in-law is hale and hearty and
proud of the interest taken in the
place. °

An interesting discussion took place

in the big concrete building at the
northwest corner of Twelfth and Race
streets the other day. Robert Craig
said that the future of our cut flower
business depended on the wholesalers,
for unless they could get better prices
this season than those obtained last
season, many growers would be obliged
to give up their calling. He suggested
that if the large growers could agree
to devote one-half their places to flow-
ers and the other half to vegetables, such
as cucumbers and lettuce, the desired
result might be achieved. ‘Leo Niessen
doubted whether this plan would work,
believing that restricting the output
would be harmful. He thought that
system would go a long way toward
overcoming the disadvantages of war
prices.

There are two lively, hard-working
youngsters at the Joseph Heacock Co.
salesroom. Their names are Joe Coz-
zens and Jimmy Lodge. They are full
of business and full of life. Business
was discussed first of course, graphic-
ally and rapidly. Then came Jimmy

—and the fellow didn’t have far to go
to find him. The Old Man piped up
and said, ‘I am he.’ Then the fun be-
gan. The reporter said, ‘I am from
the Dunstreet Mercantile Agency, and
would like to talk with you for a few
moments.’ The Old Man didn’t seem
to like it particularly well when the
fellow mentioned Dunstreet, because
he sort of flushed up and replied, ‘I
haven’t anything to say, sir.’ They
had it back and forth for a while and
then the reporter handed the Old Man a
iece of paper, with the request that
e fill it out and mail it to the office.
Guess it made the Boss sore, because
he tried not to take it. The reporter
wouldn’t be bluffed, however, and laid

it on the bench as he went out. What
on earth was it all about, anyway?
There must have been a lot of per-

sonal matters connected with it, be-

cause the Old Man said afterward he
wished he had ‘thrown the cuss out.’ ’’

I tried to explain to the young man

the reasons for the existence of the
mercantile agency, and he went on to

tection also for the man who pays his
debts promptly. He is the man who
is most benefited. The man who is
prompt is, of course, given the prefer-
ence by the credit man. His trade is
looked after carefully, as no house
wants to lose his business. How about
the man who is slow, fairly prompt, oc-
casionally behind, or always behind
time in meeting his obligations? His
account is also carefully !ooked after,
to see that he does not overreach his
limit. Before opening an account with
new customers, the credit man wants to
know something about them. He
doesn’t dare extend to them a line of
credit. unless he feels fairly certain
they will keep the account in hand.
How is he to gain this necessary in-
formation? He can send out an em-
ployee to interview them, but the em-
ployee may not understand just what
is wanted; so the credit man turns to
the mercantile agency to investigate
their affairs for him.

The Reporter Makes His Rounds.

Just for an illustration, suppose that
I am a reporter and go to my desk in
the agency’s office at eight o’cloek in
the morning. The chief reporter hands
e several tickets, on which are writ-
en the names of the parties I am to
interview during the day. Once in a
long while, perhaps, I will find the
name of an ac uaintance, but usually
not. After having arranged my route,
I start out. The first man interviewed
is a saloon-keeper, the next a baker,
or a grocer, a dry ae merchant, a
lumber dealer, a wholesale wooden ware
company, a machine shop, and in the
number a florist. I shall use the latter

What do I try to find out? After
the usual formalities of introduction, I
try to assist him in giving me a de-
tailed statement of his financial af-
fairs. The important fact is that he
is not telling me, personally, his af-
fairs, but is talking to the mercantile
company through me. If he is a new
man in the business, I ask him regard-
ing his former employment, so I pa
know where to apply for antecede
history. If he tells me all, well and
ood; if not, it is up to me to find out,
if I have to consult the whole frater-
nity of florists. Then we get down to
his financial condition. I ask: ‘‘ What

DEceMBER 16, 1915:

anyone outside these? Has anyone else
an interest in the business? How much
cash have you on hand? How much in
the bank, and where do you keep your
account?’’ These questions are among
those asked by the reporter when he
calls. How vital it is to one’s credit,
then, to give a correct answer!

Keeping the Reporter Straight.

' The person whom I am supposed to
interview may think he is doing the
right thing if he refuses to give any
information, but he is not. I, as a re-
porter, feel under obligations to ry
company to hand in as correct a repor
of his affairs as possible. If he de-
clines, I am not obliged to argue a
moment with him. It is to his interest,
as well as the company’s, that he shall
give a correct reply. I ask him to si
the statement I have made out. if he
refuses to do so, I ask, ‘‘Of what alee
is your statement without your signa-
ture? Your signature gives it weight.’’
In addition to the other questions
ask where he buys. I do this to dnd
out how he is paying his bills. If he
gives fictitious names he only causes
the reporter a lot of unnecessary labor,
because all the reporter kas to do is
to look up the firms he has mentioned,
to ascertain the truth.

Let us suppose, then, that he has
given me, the reporter, all the infor-
mation requested. What do I do with
it? First, I corroborate, as nearly as
if is possible to do so, his own valua-
tion of his establishment. I learn
something of his reputation as a man;
whether his statements are conserva-
tive. I consult the wholesale houses
that are likely to sell to him; find how
he is paying his bills; whether the
amount of money is approximately cor-
rect; whether the prospect of his suc-
cess is good or doubtful. In fact, I try
to ascertain everything that will assist
me in preparing a fair and impartial
report.

After I have secured all the infor-
mation possible, I return to the office
and turn in the report. It is after-
ward filed, and a copy forwarded to
the subscriber making the inquiry.

Does it Pay to Antagonize Him?

There are many things which work
against the reporter when he is on his
rounds seeking information, and he

ignorance and says nothing about it. If
he should report anyone as being abus-
ive, what would the credit man think?
I fear the brusque and disobliging man’s
account would not be held in as high
esteem as that of his obliging neigk-
bor. Suppose a signed statement is
made and every possible assistance is
given toward the issue of a true re-
port? Will not those who ask for the
report be better able to judge as to
the credit of the man in question?
Would they not feel more disposed to
extend credit than if the necessary in-
formation had been refused?

To sum it all up, it is simply a mat-
ter of business. It is no more than
right that something should be known
about the customer who asks for
credit. How many times does the busi.
ness man grant an extension of credit
and regret it afterward! However,
every business has its sheet of bad ac-
counts, though the florist seems to have
more than his share.

No one should imagine that his com-
petitors are the only persons likely to
ask about his affairs, for in this he
would be badly mistaken. For _ in-
stance, his own bank may send the in-
quiry. Maybe the company to which
he applied for insurance may ask about
him. Even if he has reason to believe
that his competitors are inquiring
through curiosity, why should he care?
They cannot do him much harm in a
business way. Neither should he
imagine that the inquirers want to
know only of his worth in a financial
way. They may be interested in know-
ing what sort of man he is personally;
how he is regarded in his community;
whether he carouses around at night,
and a hundred and one other things
Which go to make a reputation.

The Market.

The Newark flower shops are as busy
as beehives in preparation for the
Christmas trade. Most of the retailers

are optimistic and are preparing for
‘large holiday sales.

They are stocking
heavily with ferns, palms and potted
plants and are making wreaths, crosses,
etc. Some of the Christmas decora-
tions are beginning to appear as part of
e window displays of the various
stores. There has been considerable
fuheral work the last two or three
weeks and a few wedding decorations.
The sale of evergreens has been good.
business is
slower than it was for several weeks
before Thanksgiving. This condition is
not uncommon, for there usually is a
lull between Thanksgiving and Christ-
mas. One thing that makes the local
florists anticipate a good Christmas
trade is the fact that people are already
placing orders for Christmas flowers
and plants in larger number than is
usual so early.

Poinsettias have made their appear-
ance within the last week, but the de-
mand for them is not large. Potted
azaleas also have appeared within the
last ten days and are fine plants, clean,
full-flowering and moderate in price, the
best selling at $1.50 and up. <A few
potted hydrangeas were seen in the mar-
ket. Some sweet peas are arriving, but
they are not at all plentiful. Carna-
tions are more abundant, but still are
not arriving in the quantities that
might be expected. Growers complain
that the cloudy weather of the last few
months has held the stock back. Chrys-
anthemums are beginning to give way
to other flowers. Violets are more plen-
tiful, though not yet abundant.

Philips Bros. expect a big Christmas
trade. More orders for Christmas plants
have been booked than usual at this
time. They have a good supply of Bos-
ton ferns, palms, azaleas and other
plants.

Fred P. Wolfinger reports a large sale
of evergreens. He has a large supply
of azaleas, poinsettias and other Christ-
mas plants. Several pots of dwarf
orange trees helped to make his window
display more attractive.

George Penek had several pots of
splendid hydrangeas in his window last
week, the first that have been seen in
the market here this season.

Charles Luthy says that business with
him has greatly improved during the
last few months. He has had much
funeral work and many wedding deco-
rations.

M. Gahr states that fall business has
been exceptionally good and that indi-
cations point to a good Christmas busi-
ness.

Joseph D. Kroehl, Jr., has enlarged
his window to permit larger displays.
The improvement makes the store look
more attractive both from the outside
and inside.

Henry Breninger remarked that while
fall business has been good, it has not
been good enough to boast of. He is
expecting a fine Christmas trade.

Wilbur N. Baumann, of Rahway, has
lost the case which he brought against
George R. Sloane, of Elizabeth, charg-
ing him with illegally collecting $500
on the representation that he was exe-
cuting an order of the District court.
Mr. Sloane was awarded judgment of
$362.73 on a counter claim. April 1,
last, Mr. Sloane was deputized to exe-
cute a judgment of about $150 granted
against Mr. Baumann in favor of Hitch-
ings & Co., of Elizabeth, greenhouse
manufacturers. Mr. Baumann stated
that Mr. Sloane remained at the store
daily until November 1, under pretense
of acting for the court, and collected
$500. The latter claimed that Mr. Bau-
mann had employed him at $2.50 per
day to remain at the store and had given
him a bill of sale for the business as
security for his wages. R. B. M.

The Market.

There seems to be something of a
lull in business previous to the Christ-
mas rush. The quantity of the flowers
arriving is not large, but the demand
has been moderate. Flowers, due to
colder weather, are opening much more
slowly and, with a brisk demand, prices
undoubtedly would rise sharply. "Every-
one is hopeful over the Christmas out-
look. It is expected that the Christmas
trade will establish a new record.
Roses have cleaned up with difficulty
the last few days, but prices have
shown a slight hardening tendency, ex-
cept in the case of Beauties, which are
somewhat weak. Ophelia, Russell,
Hadley, Sunburst and Taft are all popu-
lar. Red roses are somewhat scarce,
but the holiday crop will be abundant.
Carnations are appearing in fewer
numbers and as a consequence prices
have hardened. Many growers are hold-
ing back flowers for their home retail
trade. Violets sell up to $1.25 per
hundred, but the general average has
been $1 for Christmas; $2 is the prob-
able figure for good flowers.

Many chrysanthemums still appear.
Some are of good quality, but many
have an effete appearance. Lily of
the valley sells well. Yellow margue-
rites move better than almost any other
flowers. Sweet peas might sell better.
The majority, so far, are of the old
grandiflora type, which do not realize
over half the money of the Spencers.
Pink snapdragons of good color realize
excellent prices. Cattleya Percivaliana

ties of C. Trianz bring $9 to $10 per
dozen. Cypripediums sell at $8 to $12
per hundred. Stevia is abundant; so
are Paper Whites. A little Freesia
Purity appeared this week. Asparagus
is in somewhat better demand. A
heavy call for evergreens keeps the
wholesale houses exceptionally busy.
Holly and mistletoe are arriving in good
condition, well berried. Boxwood
packed in bags arrives in an inferior
condition as compared with the same
article in crates. For laurel and other
wreathing the call is big.

The plant trade is brisk and the avail-
able stock of some varieties already is
exhausted. Probably half the azaleas
that growers planned to flower for the
holidays are too late. Cyclamens and
begonias are well sold out. Poinsettias
have been affected by the cold weather.
Berried subjects, ericas and camellias
are in good demand; so are fern pans,
assorted pans of foliage and flowering
plants and nephrolepis.

Auburndale, Mass. F. W. Fletcher
leaves December 16 for a business trip
to Florida.

Neil E. Boyle, of Malden, is getting
a fine lot of Sunburst, Ophelia, Kil-
larney, White Killarney, Richmond and
Hadley roses. The last named variety
is doing much better. Mr. Boyle has
potted 10,500 bulbs of giganteum lilies
for Easter.

A. M. Davenport, of Watertown, is
strong on poinsettias for the holidays.
His plants are compact and well leaved.
His cyclamens and begonias are also
extra good. There are also large
batches of azaleas, camellias, ferns and
other plants. Asplenium Nidus-avis is
still largely grown here.

The convention of the National Asso-
ciation of Gardeners December 9 and
10 attracted a large attendance and
proved a great success. A large number
of new local members were enrolled.
The membership is now close to 1,000.
The papers presented and discussed were
far above the average presented at
gardeners’ conventions. The one on
‘*Is Gardening a Profession?’’ was a
gem. The committee of the Gardeners’
and Florists’ Club and that of the hor-
ticultural interests of Boston had
marked success in making the visitors
welcome.

Kidder Bros., of Wakefield, perhaps
grow as high a grade of single violets
as are to be found in America. At
present the flowers open slowly and
their pick does not exceed 10,000
weekly. Of stevias they have a heavy
cut of fine quality.

J. W. Foote has finished cutting
Bouvardia Humboldtii for the season.
The flowers have sold extremely well.
Carnations here are in fine condition.
The leaders are Pink Delight, Beacon
and White Wonder. Mr. Foote has a
splendid batch of geraniums in bloom
for the holidays.

The W. W. Edgar Co. is almost sold
out of cyclamens and begonias and its
azaleas, poinsettias, etc., are cleaning
up fast. It has a nice batch of Freesia
Purity coming into bloom. Of
giganteum lilies 20,000 have been
potted recently.

At the meeting of the Gardeners’
and Florists’ Club December 21, in ad-
dition to the regular lecture, will be
held the annual election of officers.
There will be other business of im-

portance for the closing meeting of the
year.

John McFarland, of North Easton,
has sold practically all his poinsettias.
Galvin’s Back Bay and Park street
stores took a large part of them. He
will have 25,000 valley for Christmas.

The principal recent happening in re-
tail circles was the opening of Penn’s
handsome new store at 124 Tremont
street. The store is the last word in
up-to-dateness and will set a new high-
water mark for this city.

Edward Winkler, of Wakefield, is
still busy on building operations. He
has 20,000 Morning Glow carnations.
The plants suffered outdoors during the
wet weather of July and August and
are hardly as large as usual, but this
is a true bread-and-butter carnation,
being wonderfully productive.

Charles Rapp, of Melrose Highlands,
is cutting a fine crop of Cattleya Per-
civaliana. He will have a good cut of
C. Triane for the holidays, also.

The George R. White medal of honor
for distinguished services in the field
of horticulture was voted December
4 by the Massachusetts Horticultural
Society to Ernest H. Wilson, of the
Arnold Arboretum, who, as the result

of several expeditions to western China,

has introduced a wealth of hardy trees,
shrubs, herbaceous and bulbous plants
for the enrichment of our gardens. Pre-
vious recipients of this medal have been
Prof. C. 8S. Sargent, Victor Lemoine,
Jackson Dawson, the park department
of Rochester, N. Y., and Sir Harry J.
Veitch.

Carnation Miss Theo is flowering
freely at Littlefield & Wyman’s in
North Abington, and is eagerly bought
in the local wholesale market. Good
advance orders for rooted cuttings are
coming in.

Among the standing committees of
the Massachusetts Horticultural Society
appointed for 1916 are the following:

The Market.

There has been a decided scarcity of
stock in this market. The wholesalers
are cleaning up nicely on everything ex-
cept roses. Business is fair among the
retailers, but nothing extraordinary is
going on and the salespeople are not
rushed with work. There is a fine lot
of roses arriving daily, all varieties
looking well. Some splendid Russell,
Ophelia, Sunburst and Milady are to
be had; also long, fancy Beauties. The
carnation is the flower that troubles the
wholesaler at present. <A scarcity of
these is looked for by Christmas, with
prices high. At present extra fancy
stock brings $5 and $6 per hundred,
while the ordinary grades are sold at
$3 and $4 per hundred. The supply
of valley, Paper Whites, sweet peas,
violets and lilies should equal the local
demand. Cut poinsettias will be plen-
tiful. Roman hyacinths have not made
their appearance yet. Greens will be
plentiful. The wholesale establish-
ments report Christmas supplies in big
demand.

lows’ hall. It was a highly interesting
meeting to the sixty members who at-
tended. All the officers were present,
and after the opening preliminaries the
various committees were called upon
for reports. The trustees stated they
had arranged for a ladies’ night at the
February meeting.

Chairman Ohlweiler made a lengthy
report for the flower show committee,
in which chairmen for the subcommit-
tees were named. President Bourdet
was named chairman of the executive
committee and manager of the show.
Suitable resolutions on the deaths of
William C. Young and E. G. Eggeling
were read and accepted. J. F. Ammann,
chairman of the Carnation Society com-
mittee, reported everything progress-
ing nicely, according to reports received
by him from the various subcommittees.
A large expense fund has been sub-
scribed for.

Applications for membership were
made by Fred C. Weber, Jr., and
Stephen Beer. It was decided that the
officers, at their next meeting, should
draw up amendments to the by-laws
and present them at the next club meet-
ing. The question box became a feature
of the meeting when nine important
questions were put up for discussion.
The first meeting in the new year will
be held January 13.

Various Notes.

The Retail Florists’ Association had
to advance its meeting one week, the
regular meeting being too near Christ-
mas. The meeting was held December
13, at the Mission Inn Garden. The
main discussion of the evening was the
work to be done at the coming meet-
ing of the American Carnation Society.
President Young appointed his decora-
tion committee from the members of
the association.

The Missouri State Horticultural So-
ciety will hold an important 3-day ses-
sion at the Planters’ hotel. H. C. Irish,
vice-president of the society, announced
the dates to be January 12 to 14. Janu-
ary 13 will be florists’ day, when sev-
eral prominent florists will read papers.
It is expected that many florists
throughout the state will attend. The
visitors will be invited to attend the
Florists’ Club meeting in the afternoon
of January 13.

The Lady Florists’ Home Circle was
entertained at the home of Mrs. F. W.
Bruenig December 8. All members
were present and an enjoyable time

The trade extends its sympathy to
George Walters, who has just returned
from Minneapolis, where he attended
the funeral of his mother. Mr. Walters
reports things busy with him for the
holiday.

John MHebenthal, 4753 Margaretta
avenue, lost his houses by fire Decem-
ber 5. The loss is quite heavy, the
stock being a total loss. The ground
was leased from John Bentzen.

The announcement made by the
spring flower show committee that
Jules Bourdet was appointed manager
of the show pleased the trade through-
out the city. No better or more popu-
lar selection could have been made.

Christmas window displays along
Grand avenue prove great attractions.
The displays made by George Waldbart,
the Ayres Floral Co., Windler’s Flow-
ers, the Schoenle Floral Co. and C.
Bergstermann are most artistic. Red
is the prevailing color. These shops re-
port a number of advance orders
booked.

J. F. Ammann, chairman of the ex-
ecutive committee of the A. C. 8. meet-
ing, has ordered a meeting of the com-
mittee to be held December 30 at the
store of the W. C. Smith Wholesale
Floral Co.

Henry Berning handled a _ splendid
lot of fancy Beauties, Minnetonka,
Ophelia, Russell and Sunburst roses
last week. He expects a large supply
of these for Christmas, but there will
be a searcity of carnations.

The C. Young & Sons Co. has rear-
ranged its show windows with a back-
ground of white latticework. They re-
port an excellent run of business last
week.

Wm. Schray & Sons made a specialty
of orange trees, fruited. Emil Schray
says the trees made a great hit with
the trade, as all of them are sold for
Christmas delivery. A house of fine
poinsettias was seen here.

Albert Scheidegger, a Kirkwood
grower, is at a loss to know what be-
came of two bags of potatoes he placed

The bags were on the truck when they
started for home. Mr. Scheidegger
thinks a joke was played on him, but
to date he has not heard of the pota-
toes’ whereabouts.

In the notes of The Review’s Boston
correspondent, Mr. Craig hits the nail
on the head when speaking of early
closing. According to employees in es-
tablishments here, to keep open until
11 p. m., when there’is little or nothing
doing after 6:30 p- m., does not pay for
the light used. The sooner the em-
ployers realize this the better it will be
for all concerned.

able advance in prices of all other cut
flowers." Business has been good, bet-
ter than usual for several weeks before
Christmas. The reason for this is the
unusual amount of funeral work for
this time of year. Roses are scarce and
prices are high; $10 per hundred is the
lowest price at present. Carnations are
in better supply, although they, too,
have advanced in price. Narcissi had
their run last week. Everyone thought
they had plenty, but found it necessary
to cut some before they were fully
opened. Sweet peas and violets are not
in so good supply as usual. Easter
lilies, valley and other flowers are com-
ing in daily, but not enough of them to
hold down the prices. Greens of all
kinds are coming in better than a week
ago.
Various Notes.

December 10 a baby boy weighing
seven pounds arrived at the home of
A. F. Barbe. The trade sends congratu-
lations. Mr. Barbe has his houses in
fine shape for Christmas, with plenty
of pot plants of all kinds. He will
have a large cut from his carnations.

We are glad to hear that Mrs. T. A.
Moseley is able to be about again. For
the last week she has been able to go
to the store for a little while each day.

Samuel Murray has his begonias al-
ready tied up in fine shape. Most of
them are in 6-inch, 7-inch and 8-inch
pots. He has some fine specimens in
tubs that are too large to go through
ordinary doors.

Arthur Newell reports business as
being good. He is selling many pot
plants and is making larger plans for
this Christmas than ever before. He
says holiday trade will surpass that of
any other year.

The W. L. Rock Flower Co. will have
a fine crop of both roses and carna-
tions for Christmas. Both ranges of
houses are looking well. The potted
stock is fine and there is plenty of it.

T. J. Noll & Co. have been receiving
large consignments of cut flowers of all
kinds, but the demand is so heavy that
they are sold out most of the time.

Henry Kusik & Co. report that stock
is scarce and that the shipping busi-
ness has been good; plenty of valley
and violets, but short on other stock.

The Kellogg Flower & Plant Co. had
a good run on funeral work this week
and stock will be a trifle scarce with
them for Christmas.

Adolph Mohr had a fine lot of Christ-
mas plants in 6-inch and 7-inch pots.
He has sold out entirely. He had be-
gonias, poinsettias and azaleas.

Business across the state line has
been good. Funeral work was the lead-
ing feature.

A number of florists have received
many orders for Christmas delivery and
some say they have more orders than
last year at this time. W. J. B.

PLANT BASKETS

Our Plant Baskets have been so well received
that they are now a very important: feature of
our Christmas business. Last year .we offered
only one style in three sizes. This year we have
about twenty-five different numbers, All are
first-class, both as to style of basket and filling.
Nothing but highly-colored, well-grown stock is
used, such as Dracaenas in variety, Crotons, Pan-
danus, Ferns, etc. On account of being filled
early and becoming established, they are bound
to give you and your customer satisfaction. We
cannot recommend them too highly. Many of
the baskets and window boxes are in two-tone

NEW SEEDLING VARIETIES

Our new Seedling Crotons, some of which we
disseminated in June, 1911, are varieties. that

collection, They are far superior to many of
the older varieties of Crotons and the types
range from narrow to very large leaf. We par-
ticularly call your attention to our set of thir-
teen, named after the ‘Thirteen Original

DRACAENAS

There is no variety of foliage plants as attrac-

tive as the highly-colored Dracaena. The small
and medium sizes can be used to great advantage
in making up the popular Christmas baskets,
while the large specimens have always been in
great demand for decorative purposes. We are
now growing more Dracaenas, in greater variety,
than any firm in this country.

NEPHROLEPIS JOHN WANAMAKER
Introduced August, 1915

The Wanamaker Boston has more than made
good. Everyone who has received early ship-
ments from us has been greatly pleased with
the variety and repeat orders have been coming
in daily. We have a very large stock. A
‘‘sport’’ from Nephrolepis Scholzeli, with longer,
narrower, gracefully drooping fronds. It is not
so compact in growth as Scholzeli and therefore
does not decay in the center, and is a durable
house fern. It is a rapid grower, making an
abundance of fronds, and is quite distinct from
any other Nephrolepis. The following prices are
for immediate and spring delivery:

2%-inch pots, strong plants $10.00 per 100;

$90.00 per 1000.
4-inch pots, strong plants, $25.00 per 100;

The Florists’ Review

DECEMBER 16, 1915.

Seed Trade News

President, John M, L Mattituck, L. 1;
acrinsident, John M,, ve Rondel Cleveland, O°

THE Chicago market was practically
bare of bulk green December 11. Good
holly is arriving in fair quantity.

Stuis & Groot, Enkhuizen, Holland,
recently have turned their partnership
into a limited liability company.

THE pea situation is becoming much
easier as far as canners’ varieties are
concerned, but dwarf varieties are not
yet any too free.

THE Texans should have much better
results with their onion crop this season,
which will help the sale of Teneriffe Ber-
muda seed in the closing part of 1916.

S. F. Lronarp, of the Leonard Seed
Co., Chicago, is suffering with a severe
cold, but his condition is in no way
serious and he expects to be at his desk
in a few days.

MANY a man is burning midnight oil
in the effort to get the catalogue ready
for the printers, the work having been
started later than usual because of the
perplexities of the season.

THE representatives of the California
seed growers, nearly all of whom are in
the east, are having the time of their lives
—everybody thankful for past favors and
hoping for a continuance of the same.

EUGENE SCHAETTEL, of Vilmorin-An-
drieux & Co., Paris, France, who has
been visiting the seed trade in this
country for the first time in several
years, sailed for home December 11 on
the Lafayette. He was in Chicago for
five hours December 9.

A. H. Goopwin, of the W. W. Barnard |

Co., Chicago, who ‘has been quite seriously
ill for several weeks, is again able to be
at his desk. W. W. Barnard is still con-
fined to the Presbyterian hospital, but is
reported to be making an uninterrupted
recovery. ,

ONE of the valley exporters near Ham-
burg has written that it is not easy to
find a ‘‘light hearted’? Dane or Dutch-
man while the steamers at Copenhagen
and Rotterdam peremptorily refuse to load
anything not accompanied by a British
permit or an affidavit that it is of neu-
tral origin.

THE Commissioner of Agriculture in
North Carolina is determined that all
dealers in seed in the state shall promptly
renew their licenses to do business or
suffer the penalties of the law. He is
sending out notices to the trade inform-
ing them that they should take out their
licenses at this time. The cost of the
license is $25 for the year beginning Jan-
uary 1, next.

Witas J. FosGate, of Santa Clara,
Cal., arrived in Chicago December 9 on
his annual eastern trip. It has been Mr.
Fosgate’s custom for several years to
spend Christmas in Macon, Ga., but this
year he will forego that pleasure to hasten
his return to California. In his opinion
the California onion. seed prospect for
next year is good. The acreage is fully
as large as last year’s, and the Santa
Clara district has just been favored with
a rainfall of two and one-half inches. ~ He
reports an increasingly strong European
demand for California seeds.

THE Kilgore Seed Co. is in receipt of
an order for seeds from South Africa,
which is the champion long distance order
for this concern.

THERE were a few cases of valley pips
on the boat from Rotterdam that reached
New York last week, supposedly Holland
grown, as importers who have applied for
British permits to import Hamburg pips
have, so far as reported, not been able
to get action,

THOSE who are specially interested in
cantaloupe seed will find a chart show-
ing acreage of melons for market in
Bulletin No. 315, recently issued by the
U. 8. Department of Agriculture. The
shipped crop in 1914 is estimated as
16,401 carloads.

A MOST unpleasant condition in field
corn for feeding purposes has developed.
Reports from various points in Iowa and
Illinois are to the effect that it is souring
and can hardly be cribbed, as it has not
hardened. This is attributed to the fact
that there has been practically no curing
season this fall.

JOHN F. Dickinson, of Bellefontaine,
O., has purchased the interest of his
brother, R. P. Dickinson, in the business
of R. P. Dickinson & Bro., and is plan-
ning to incorporate the business under
the name of Dickinson Seed Co. M. B.

the selling end of the business at Chicago.

SPINACH EMBARGO RAISED.

As the result of the representations
made by the State Department at Wash-
ington, the Dutch government has ex-
pressed a willingness to permit the ex-
portation of a certain quantity of round
spinach seed, on which, as is well known.
an embargo had been placed. To obtain
the actual permits of exportation, it
will be necessary for the Dutch growers
to apply to the Dutch Minister of
Agriculture. Curtis Nye Smith.

The Florists’ Review

DecemsBeEe 16, 1915.

A BAD BILL BOBS UP AGAIN.

Senator Gronna of North Dakota in-
troduced, December 7, 1915, a bill (8S.
578) ‘‘To Prohibit-the Interstate Ship-
ment of Impure Seeds.’’ This is identi-
cally the same bill filed by Mr. Gronna
in the Sixty-second Congress (February
5, 1913), S. 8382, and in the Sixty-third
Congress (April 8, 1913), S. 480, the
former being unacted upon, the latter
unfavorably reported by the Senate
Committee on Agriculture and Forestry.
The present bill is thoroughly unwise,
impracticable and would, if enacted,
wholly prohibit the shipment in inter-

state commerce of certain seeds. It.

applies to all field, vegetable and flower
seeds, arbitrarily defining adulterations
which no expert can detect, and mak-
ing all seeds unfit for sale which are
under ninety per cent germination.
Curtis Nye Smith.

MACNIFF’S NEW LEADERS.

The MacNiff Horticultural Co., New
York, has two notable accessions to its
staff in the seed department, James
Stirling and John M. McCauley.

Mr. Stirliftg lately has been with
Weeber & Don and for twenty years was
a department manager for Dickson, of
Edinburgh, Scotland. Mr. McCauley
was with William Henry Maule, of
Philadelphia, for twelve years and for
the last five years has been manager of
the New York branch of S. D. Woodruff
& Sons, Orange, Conn. He will be man-
ager of the seed department of the
MacNiff concern.

Sweet clover is rapidly gaining in
favor as a cultivated crop. This is
due, according to the United States De-

for soil improvement, for pastures, and
for hay. There are three species of
sweet clover commonly found in the
United States. The biennial yellow-
flowered species, Melilotus officinalis,
and the biennial white-flowered species,
Melilotus alba, are valuable over a

flowered species, Melilotus Indica, is of
little economic importance except ir
the extreme south and_ southwest,
where it is grown as a winter-cover
and green-manure crop. With the ex-
ceptions of a few localities, white
sweet clover is grown almost entirely.
This is due to the fact that it yields
more forage and produces larger roots
than the other species. The white-flow-
ered species is ordinarily referred to as
sweet clover, while the other two spe-
cies are called yellow sweet clover.

In harvesting the seed it is impor-
tant that the plants be cut before the
seed is fully matured. One must watch
the seed crop carefully, and as soon as
the lower racemes or spike-like arrange-
ments of flowers are dry and mature it
is best to cut the crop. Even where it

is mowed and the seed flailed. out, prob-
ably not more than three-fourths of the
racemes should be allowed to become
fully mature. Sweet clover seed can
be threshed most easily by the ordinary
threshing machine, but if it is to be
hulled a regular clover huller with spe-
cial rasps is used. In semi-arid and
irrigated sections the hulls are so dry
that an ordinary grain thresher will
remove most of them. Since the seed
shatters very easily, sweet clover should
be cut when it is wet with dew. If
the first growth be cut for hay when
it is two and one-half feet tall, leav-
ing a 6-inch stubble, the seed crop
will come on much more evenly. Care
should be taken to cut the stubble of
the preceding hay crops as high as pos-
sible, so that there will be sufficient
stems remaining to resume growth, as
this plant, unlike alfalfa, does not form
new crown shoots. Seed yields vary
from two to eight bushels to the acre.

CATALOGUES RECEIVED.

illustrated catalogue of gladioli. The alphabetical
list is followed by offers of various sorts of mix-
tures and assortments.

Ebbert Seed Co., Rocky Ford, Colo.—An illus-
trated catalogue of vegetable, flower and forage
seeds, with the vegetable seeds heavily predo\mi-
nating. Though the book contains fifty-eight
pages, it bears every evidence of persistent con-
densation; it is printed compactly on thin paper
of good quality and the pages are closely trimmed.

Ratekin’s Seed House, Shenandoah, la.—Thirty-
second annual seed catalogue, a book of 112 good-
sized, densely packed pages. The illustrations
are numerous, but are closely surrounded by the
text. It contains a condensed list of the more
popular flower seeds, but by far the largest pro-
portion of the space is occupied by the vegetable
and farm seeds. Implements for the farm and
garden are also listed.

USINGER’S UTTERANCES.

W. H. Brouse & Son, of Tyrone, Pa.,
contemplate building a few more green-
houses in the spring. They will then
grow cut flowers. At present their out-
put consists mostly of plants and bed-
ding stock.

Adolph Engelman, of Tyrone, Pa.,
was unable to finish building his green-
house, owing to the cold weather. The
unfinished part, about sixty feet of
space, will be completed as soon as the
weather permits.

Frank Luhr, of the St. Marys Green-
houses, St. Marys, Pa., has at the pres-
ent writing shipped about 20,000 pounds
of ground pine this season. Joe
Schloder is also a heavy shipper of
ground pine in St. Marys.

H. W. Girton, of Ridgway, Pa., is off
on a hunting trip. His party has al-
ready bagged two deer and a bear.

The Kane Greenhouses, at Kane, Pa.,
have some extra fine mums, of the late
varieties, which they will offer to the
Christmas trade.

Seth Roper, of Oliver’s Greenhouses,
Bradford, Pa., will have cut poinsettias
four and five feet long for Christmas.

After twenty-five years in one store,
George LL. Graham, of Bradford, has
moved into more commodious quarters.
With the added room, Mr. Graham will
make a larger display of plants and
novelties. At present the store is in
holiday attire. Mrs. G. L. Graham is
in New York city visiting friends,
prior to the holiday rush.

The Red Rock Rosery, of Bradford,
has on display, for the holidays, baskets
of plants and cut flowers, besides
wreaths, boxwood, baskets made of
ruscus, and other seasonable novelties.

The accompanying illustration was
prepared from a photograph taken on
the slopes of Mount Rainier. It shows,
on the left, C. Hoffmeister, of the
Washington Greenhouses; in the center,
John Holze, of the Queen City Floral
Co., and on the right, H. Rasmussen, of
the Seattle Floral & Nursery Co., all
of Seattle. The view is unusually in-
teresting, showing as it does the summit
of the highest mountain peak in the
United States.

LOS ANGELES.

The Market.

As Christmas approaches the inquiries
for stock of all kinds naturally increase
and once again the wisdom of being
forehanded in ordering plants is appar-
ent. Sooner or later, retailers will ab-
sorb the idea that. the business of this
city is a staple entity that will have to
be brought down to a business basis.
Then the unseemly scramble for stock
when it is short and the beating down
of growers when it is overplentiful
will cease automatically. The mossback
nurseryman who depends on local pull
and the equally hidebound retailer who
regrets the passing of the good (#) old
times, will enjoy each other’s company
in the discard and still another instance
of the survival of the fittest will be
shown. It is far better to deliver the
goods than to tell customers that the
shipments of import stock were turned
back at Podunk or some other way sta-
tion. There must be enough azaleas
and other stock left between Los An-
geles and New York, if all accounts are
true, to make the desert bloom like a
rose—that is, provided the water was
turned on as freely as the hot air (in
the desert).

There is every indication of a good
cut of roses, carnations and other sta-
ples for the holidays. Pickling has not
been elevated to a fine art here, as in
some other places. Consequently, be-
tween now and the holiday, out-of-town
dealers may depend on our up-to-date
wholesalers finding stock to fill orders.
It is certainly gratifying to note the
great increase in these out-of-town ship-
ments and to read the encomiums of
satisfied customers at far-distant cen-
ters.

The duty of the wholesaler to the re-
tailer is much the same as that of the
latter to the ultimate consumer, and
just as important. It is not wise to
prophesy, but there is every reason to
think that there will be plenty of cut
stock for everybody.

Society Meeting.

The meeting of the Los Angeles
County Horticultural Society, held at
Kruckeberg’s hall, December 7, was a
crowded and interesting one, the dual
attraction of nomination of officers and
an address by W. Edouart on ‘‘ Mealy
Bug’’ being responsible. Mr. Edouart
spoke for about a half hour on the best
methods of eradicating this troublesome
pest and others, his remarks being fol-
lowed with the closest interest by all.

lecture Mr. Edouart undertook to an-

there is a general feeling that one term
as president is enough.

L. Edlefson, under the heading of
the good and welfare of the society,
made some able suggestions as to the
lines of work that should be taken up
by the society, proposing among other
things that the society secure an acre
of land at Montebello or some other
section, where a garden could be started
and possibly a hall built, eventually.
Sundry other matters were advised and
on motion duly seconded; it was decided
to look into these matters in the near
future.

George Roeding, of the Fancher
Creek -Nurseries, of Fresno, was prés-

anything Mr. Roeding says, was listened
to with interest. An unusually large
attendance is looked for at the January
meeting, when H. W. Turner is slated
to speak on ‘‘ Rose Culture.’’

Various Notes.

K. Groen having withdrawn from the
firm of Polder & Groen, this house in
the future will be known as Polder
Bros., John Polder still being at the
head of affairs. His brothers will as-
sist him as before. There will be no
difference in the conduct of the
business.

Inquiries into the cause of an ex-
ceptionally empty icebox at the store of
Freeman & Lewis brought out the fact
that the hiatus was owing to an ex-
ceptionally heavy funeral demand. Mr.
Freeman says that to date the season
has been above the average, and as our
old friend, Charlie Lewis, gets more
Falstaff-like than ever, in spite of
bending exercises, posing for the mov-
ing pictures and other ‘‘diversions,’’ it.
looks as though things must be coming
their way.

Letters from widely separated locali-
ties keep coming in to the Los Angeles
Floral Co., speaking of the excellent
condition in which the long-distance
shipments arrive at their destinations.

H. W. Turner is busy on his new
rose catalogue, advance proofs of which
show a business-like arrangement and
a long list of novelties. All are well
tried out at the Montebello plant be-
fore being recommended.

Geo. C. Roeding, of the Fancher
Creek Nurseries, Fresno, was a visitor
this week.

Large consignments of imported nurs-
ery stock continued to arrive at the
Germain Seed & Plant Co.; also a car-
load of plant tubs, the latter having
been delayed by the Panama canal
slides. Heavy shipments also are being
made from the nursery, the demand for
small ferns, rhododendrons and lilacs
being especially heavy. Truckload ship-
ments are now being made from this
nursery to Santa Barbara, San Diego
and other towns within a radius of
100 miles or so, the consignees thereby
saving packing charges and at least a
portion of the freight, which is no in-
considerable item.

fine stock of poinsettias, begonias and
other holiday plants coming in line.
Early on the morning of December
10 a serious fire occurred at the Ger-
main Seed & Plant Co. nursery, on the
Whittier road. It evidently had started
from the oil burner used for heating
and had burned the corner of the new
greenhouse before it could be extin-
guished. As yet it is impossible to say
how much damage has been done, as
the house was filled with smoke and gas.
It was thrown open at once, but it is
feared that the fine Christmas stock
of azaleas, ferns and other plants is
ruined. About $100 of damage was
done to the structure.
H. R. Richards.

SAN FRANCISCO.

The Market.

The shipping movement is heavy and
some special decorative work is being
done. A storm one day week before
last, with some showers since, has
tended to shorten the offerings, espe-
cially of mums, which are likely not to
last much longer. A fair quantity of
good Appletons and Nonins, with many
pompons and a mediocre assortment of
other varieties, is arriving, but Bonnaf-
fons are about gone. Shipping business
is principally in violets, baby roses and
greens. The rain helped the violets,
which are in good supply and as fine as
they ever have been. There are plenty
of greens of all kinds. The baby roses
are in such demand that there is hardly
enough.

The shortening of mums has turned
more attention to the more popular
roses, which clean up well. Really fine
stock is by no means plentiful, perhaps
because growers are holding back a
little for Christmas. Cosmos, stocks and

marigolds still appear at nearly all the

stores. Some large lots of Paper
Whites, hyacinths and freesias are com-
ing in and a little more warm weather
will bring a heavy supply. Valley is
about enough for requirements. Lilies
are scarce, but find no demand. Car-
nations are steady and, with a good
stock in fair supply, the demand is in-
creasing. Cattleyas are fairly plentiful.
Other orchids are less in evidence. Gar-
denias find a growing demand.

California holly is offered freely, the
quality being good. English holly
should be plentiful in another week.
Poinsettias are fairly plentiful, local
stock being better than southern; there
should be plenty for Christmas. The
azaleas do not look promising, but there
will be an abundance of fine cyclamens,
begonias, primulas and heather, the
present supply being sufficient. Small
potted mums continue popular.

Various Notes;

The Ladies’ Auxiliary of the Pacific
Coast Horticultural Society will give a
reception on the evening of January 4.

Albert O. Stein is busy, although
large decorations are not so numerous

many of them, but could easily dispose

It is understood that many growers

to American Beauty roses, in view of
which there should be a large supply
for the Christmas market.

Domoto Bros. have a large stock of
fine poinsettias, both potted and for

E. James, of Oakland, will have an
unusually good lot of begonias for the

cleaned up. The more exposed sections
of the city were visited by a light frost
December 9. The retailers ‘have «been
busy looking up supplies for the Christ-
mas trade and found ample quantities
of potted stock of all sorts ready.
Enough chrysanthemums and cut poin-
settias are in the growers’ hands to fill
all wants. The supply of carnations
and roses will be short. Holly and other
greenery is coming in plentifully.

Various Notes.

Father Schoener will continue his
work in plant breeding in Portland.
The committee from the Chamber of
Commerce has completed arrangements
and the lot of plants saved from the
fire at Brooks, Ore., are being brought
here and installed in the new gardens,
There are about 10,000 plants, including
6,000 rose bushes, many of which were
imported, besides a large quantity of
seeds. A society, nation-wide in its
scope and limited to 200 members, with
dues of $10 per year, has been formed
to finance the work. The society is
named Schoener Scientific Gardens and
the products will not be commercialized.
Members only who wish to-help with
the experiments can obtain specimens,
The new gardens will be established on
a 5-acre tract near the St. Johns car
line, the free use of which for five years
has been donated by the owner, Coe A,
McKenna. Improving existing varie-
ties of plants and creating new ones
will be the line of work pursued. The
Portland Chamber of Commerce will
give full particulars to inquirers.

William 8. Duncan, of Albany, Ore.,
was in Portland December 10, looking
up holiday stock. He reports his early
fall business better than he expected.
He supplies the flower wants of a num-
ber of towns in his section and finds
sale for all the stock he can produce.

James O. Convill, of the 1916 board
of rose festival directors, has been
placed in charge of the floral center
features, which will be repeated on a
scale larger than the last one, and the
board has voted enough money to ca
out the plan. The committee on exhi-
bitions of the Portland Floral Society
met with Mr. Convill December 8 and
discussed details. Julius Dossche, of
the committee, was selected to act with
Mr. Convill in preparing plans, which
will be brought before the society at its
January meeting.

The Portland Seed Co. has received
a carload of rhododendrons and other
stock from Holland. The stock came
through without any noticeable delay
and is in good condition. 58S. W. W.

Eugene, Ore.—William S. Duncan, of

Chico, Cal.—Miss Josie Bobbie, who

and good will to Mrs. 8. Bosdine, who
has been associated with her for some
time.

Seattle, Wash.—Fully 10,000 Seattle-
ites and visitors in the city accepted
the invitation of Felix Rosaia, proprie-
tor of the newly formed Orpheum
Floral Co., to visit his new flower shop
at the corner of Third avenue and Mad-
ison street. Souvenirs in the form of
small corsage bouquets were given all
the ladies who attended the opening,

NURSERY NEWS.

AMERICAN ASSOCIATION OF NURSERYMEN.

President, E. S. Welch, Shenandoah, Ia.; Vice-
resident, Jobn Watson, Newark, N. J.; Secre-
ary, John Hall, Rochester, N. Y.; Treasurer,
Peter Youngers, Geneva, Neb.

Forty-first annual meeting, Milwaukee, Wis.,
June 28 to 30, 1916,

A sTEAMER from London brought six-
teen cases of Manetti stock to McHutch-
ison & Co. last week. The shipments
from Great Britain continue, although
somewhat delayed.

SALESMANSHIP is becoming a factor of
steadily increasing importance in the nur-
sery business. With production at least
as large as demand, the sales manager
comes into command.

THE nursery stock imports are com-
ing along steadily, but several weeks
behind the usual schedule, the transpor-
tation delay frequently resulting in some
damage to the stock.

At the forty-ninth annual convention
of the Horticultural Society. of Northern
Illinois, W. J. Moyle, of Union Grove,

Wis., read ‘an interesting paper on
‘‘Hardy Perennials that Sell Them-
selves, ’?

THoMAS E. CasHMAN, of the Clinton
Falls Nursery Co., of Owatonna, was re-
elected president of the Minnesota State
Horticultural Society at its meeting at
Minneapolis last week. There are many
nurserymen among its 3,079 members.

SEEDSMEN have not founda way of sell-
ing seeds as Christmas gifts, but they
have found a means of acquiring their
share of the holiday money by handling
greens. If the nurseryman had a down-
town store he could do the same, but
without it perhaps the only chance is for
the salesman to convince Ma that it
would be fine for Pa to find some De-
licious trees in his stocking Christmas
morning.

WESTERN NURSERYMEN MEET.

Officers Elected.

At the twenty-sixth annual meeting
of the Western Association of Nursery-
men, held at Kansas City, December 8
and 9, the following officers were
elected:
eo C. Stark, Louisiana,

Vice-president — W. A.

Secretary—Geo. W. Holsinger, Rose-

Financial secretary and treasurer—

Executive committee—Peter Youngers,
Geneva, Neb.; D. S. Lake, Shenandoah,
Ia.; H. D. Simpson, Vincennes, Ind.;
J. H. Skinner, Topeka, Kan.; George H.
Johnston, Kansas City.

Large Attendance.

The attendance was the largest in
the history of the organization and was
augmented by the presence of many
members of the committees of the
American Association of Nurserymen,
who took this opportunity to hold ses-
sions to set on foot the work outlined
for them by the changes in the form
of organization adopted at Detroit last
June.

mirable method in that a preliminary
business session is held in advance;
then the routine of officers’ and com-
mittee reports is heard an hour before
the general open session, which is free
to follow whither it will any interest-
ing subject that is opened up by the
papers and discussions.

An amendment to the constitution
was adopted to provide for honorary
memberships for ‘‘those who have dis-
tinguished themselves as nurserymen,
and for those whose fellowship and
assistance have promoted the interests
of the association.’’ The by-laws also
were amended to fix the date of the
annual meetings of the future as the
fourth Wednesday in January instead
of the second Wednesday in December,
which will result in there being no an-
nual meeting in 1916, the next one oc-
curring January 24, 1917. The summer
meeting will be held as usual.

There was an interesting discussion
over the report by J. W. Schuette, E.
P. Bernardin and H. B. Chase, the com-
mittee on trade terms. There is a gen-
eral feeling that it is time for the trade
to tighten up on its business terms, but
it is difficult to secure concerted action.

Loss from So-called Poor Collections?’’ by Teter
Youngers.

The Market.

There was a brisk tone to the market
last week, due chiefly to the general re-
duction in the supply of stock. Busi-
ness conditions were good. The demand
was not exceptional, but all stock in
sight was cleaned up. The scarce ar-

ticle was carnations, and it seems as if
the supply for Christmas will be the re-
verse of that of last year, when the cut
was heavy. No doubt carnations will
be scarce and prices high this Christ-
mas. The mums are about over, the

poor. Roses have been fairly plentiful;
enough colored ones were to be had, but
there was no surplus, White was rather
hard to secure. Beauties were plentiful
and, moved nicely. Another condition
that is the reverse of last season’s is
the small quantity of Paper Whites on
the market. Last year they were to be
had in any quantity, while the few now
coming in meet with a ready sale.
Soleil d’Or is in larger supply and finds
a ready sale. Violets were none too
plentiful and moved fairly well.

Club Meeting.

A regular meeting of the Gardeners’
and Florists’ Club of Baltimore was held
December 13. William Feast presented
the final report of the show. It was
ordered put on the minutes. Mr. Feast
was tendered a rising vote of thanks.
A number of worthy suggestions per-
taining to the general welfare of the
show were embodied in the report. These
will be taken up and acted on at the
first meeting in January. A discussion
arose relative to the premiums. It was
agreed that the amounts should be in-
creased, to bring out more active com-
petition.

C. M. Wagner read a list of the most
suitable herbaceous plants and spoke
a short while on this topic. ‘‘Fertil-
izers for Outdoor Use and Their Rela-
tive Values’’ was also under discussion.

F. J. Michell, of Philadelphia, spoke
about the show to be held in that city
in March.

J. J. Perry acted as secretary, in the
absence of N. F. Flitton. The pres-
ence of Mr. Perry behind the desk re-
called pleasant memories of bygone
days when he capably filled that posi-
tion. After the question box was dis-
posed of the meeting adjourned.

Various Notes.

John McCormick is cutting some good
Christmas Pink and orchid-flowering
light pink peas.

Matthew Richmond has a fine lot of
cyclamens in good shape for his Christ-
mas trade.

Mr. and Mrs. William G. Lehr are re-
ceiving the congratulations of their
friends on the arrival of a bouncing
baby girl December 7. Mother and
daughter are doing well.

Erdman & Ulrich have their usual
good lot of plants for the Christmas
trade. Their poinsettias and cyclamens
are particularly fine.

J. J. Goudy, of Henry A. Dreer, Inc.;
Charles E. Meehan and William P.
Craig, all of Philadelphia, were recent
visitors.

John Wilheim, of Raspeburg, has a
fine lot of Mme. Petrick azaleas in good
shape for Christmas. His Chatelaine
begonias are good.

Samuel Feast & Sons received their
new auto truck last week. The body
is specially built to hold large plants
for decorative purposes, being large and
roomy.

August Tischinger reports a heavy
demand for ferns, having almost sold
out in this item. His azaleas were de-
layed in transit and he will be unable
to have them in flower by Christmas.

Halliday Bros. are showing their
usual good line of attractively arranged
Christmas designs. The crescent-shaped
wreaths of red cape flowers and stat-
ice, and another combination of mag-
nolia leaves, ruscus and statice, are

effective. W. F. £E.

INDIANAPOLIS.

The Market.

Trade was brisk last week. The dark
and cold weather has shortened stock
considerably. Carnations have been a
trifle scarce, prices ranging from $2.50
to $4 per hundred, the same flowers re-
tailing at 60 cents to $1 per dozen.
Fancy roses are bringing a stiff price,
making $8 to $15 per hundred. Seconds
and shorts are more plentiful, bringing
from $3 to $6 per hundred. Poinsettias
are doing well, wholesaling at $2 to $4
per dozen and retailing at $3 to $6
per dozen. Owing to the scarcity of
roses, carnations meet a ready market
at $3 per hundred.

Valley, lilies, orchids, violets and
small roses for corsages have had a good
eall. The trade in Christmas greens,
holly, laurel and Christmas trees is now
in full blast.

Various Notes.

Oliver Steinkamp and Herman Junge
were the only Indianapolis florists who
attended the meeting of the Indiana
State Florists’ Association at Fort
Wayne last week. At this meeting an
auditing committee composed of Her-
man Junge, Charles Pahud and L. Elder
was named to audit the books of the
secretary and treasurer. A committee
on entertainment for the annual meet-
ing of the association, which takes
place in Indianapolis, January 11, com-
posed of Homer Wiegand, Oliver Stein-
kamp and Clarence Thomas, also was
named. C. O. Wilcox, with the W. W.
Barnard Co., Chicago, and Charles
Treffenger, of Van Wert, O., were the
first associate members to be elected
into the state association. C. M. Freese,
of New Haven, Ind., was elected to
membership.

Chrysanthemums

POMPONS-— there are plenty of them—YES—too many varie-
ties for the growers.

SOME make small sprays—others large ones—costs the same to
grow either.

IF you are obliged to put more than six sprays in a 25c bunch there
is no profit to the grower.

THERE is a great difference in the shades of pink, yellow and bronze.

SOME are Early, others are Midseason and Late.

IF you contemplate planting POMPONS in quantity, let us submit
you a list of the best.

OUR experience is at your service and costs nothing but the asking.

MORNING GLOW

One of the strong features of this Carnation is its attractive color,
several shades lighter at this time of year than Winsor. This, with
the prettily serrated edge of petals, calls forth such expressions as
“charming,” “‘exquisite.”

Dorner’s Novelty for 1916

New Salmon Pink Carnation
NANCY

Color, light salmon piok, a little darker than, Pink De-
light and a more even c)lor. Blooms are good commercial
size, three inches and over, nicely formed and have never
shown a bursted calyx. Stems always hold the flower up-
right. The habit is a quick productive growth and as a pro-
ducer it stands highest among commercial varieties. Color
does not fade. Fragrance is very noticeable. Having an
excellent cerise pink and an improved yellow to offer in 1917,

we have decided to disseminate the variety NANCY this
year (1916). Fora light pink that will produce quantities

of bloom and is commercially good in every respect, plant ;

NANCY. The stock is limited and orders will be filled ‘in
rotation as reeeived. Price, rooted cuttings, $12.00 per 100,
$100.00 per 1000. First deliveries in January.

Various Notes.

Ralph Plebany states that he never
had a better chrysanthemum season
than the one passing. The flowers
were of fine quality and prices aver-
aged well during the season. He is en-
joying a heavy demand for Paper
Whites.

Charles Stormer, of 145 Union ave-
nue, has an unusually fine lot of
stevias. His orchid-flowering sweet
peas, which he planted for the first
time this year, are coming into crop.

Edward W: Fengar has a fine lot of
carnations coming on, of which he has
about 40,000 plants.

Edward Jacobi has the finest lot of
late chrysanthemums seen in _ this
vicinity. The Jeanne Nonin plants have
fine, large white flowers and good
foliage, and his Mrs. Seidewitz is
equally vigorous. He expects to be
eutting these until after New Year’s.

Ernest Helms smilingly remarked
that the chrysanthemum season this
year was the best that he has had in
fifteen years. He says there is a brisk
demand for calendulas. Mr. Helms has
75,000 pansy plants ready for spring
forcing.

John Pfeufer complains of too much
cloudy weather, which has retarded his

carnations to some extent. He is de-
veloping several varieties that he
originated.

Charles Deisler, 1287 Springfield ave-
nue, has enough mums to last him for
a week or two more. He makes the
common complaint that carnations are
developing slowly because of cloudy
weather. R. B. M.

thing. Prices have not commenced to
stiffen.

BRAMPTON, ONT.

The Market.
In comparison with last year, the

closing month of 1915, up to the pres-
ent, shows results that the most hope-
ful would not have dared predict. The
prospect of an exceedingly busy holi-
day season becomes brighter with
each succeeding day. Orders for or-
chids are coming in daily from across
the border.

such stock flourishes in Canada. If the
weather shall continue as favorable as
it has been so far, there will be some
magnificent Cattleya Triane and Q,
Percivaliana for the market. As for
violets, the blooms being picked at
the new 3-acre range at the Dale
Estate exceed in size, fragrance and
length of stem the best stock that ever
found its way from the south of
France. Quality must count, as Christ-
mas prices are fixed at $3 and $2.50
per hundred, wholesale.

The last of the mums are being cut.
The bulk. of this stock has proved a
satisfactory crop. Valley should prove
of better quality than usual, special
care having been shown in the selec-
tion of the pips. One or two ultra-
loyalists have been expressing them-
selves in strong terms in the Toronto
newspapers in an endeavor to show that
valley pips are grown only in Germany.
Ever since Adam’s time persons have
made mistakes and many have still to
learn that Denmark grows fairly good
pips. Carnations, it is feared, will be
exceedingly scarce during the busy sea-
son. However, the quantity and qual-
ity of the roses allows one to suppose
that trade will prove brisker than ever.

Various Notes.

I. Drury, C. Jenkins, C. Cassels and”

E. Armstrong have left the Dale Estate
to join the 126th Peel regiment. Lieut.
C. R. Duggan has gone to England to

15x150. He expects to have them in
complete operation by Christmas. J. C.
Schmidt, of Bristol, called on Mr. Moss
November 29, on his way to the fu-
neral of W. Atlee Burpee at Fordhook,
near Doylestown. Mr. Schmidt took a
load of Beauties with him. The Moss
place is halfway between Bristol and
Doylestown, on the main road. Mr.

seven houses last summer.

“Qut of the Trenches”,

This newly coined slogan will soon be a familiar one to every man on the
Globe, because of the sincerity of one man. Men will differ as to plans and
methods, but all acclaim ‘‘“GOD SPEED THE DAY.”

With America at peace it is for her to dig other kinds of trenches—trenches
that will yield beauty and profit—trenches that will be productive and not
destructive. The gardener and florist know trenches, and he who would enjoy
a full measure of profit must dig lots of them and keep them filled. One good
thing to use is snapdragon, and as all have ample evidence that our famous
Silver Pink is the best one, it is safe and proper to use it. It is now time to
begin sowing seed. We offer new crop stock as follows:

Our original Silver Pink, $1.00 per pkt.; 3 for $2.50; 7 for $5.00. Nelrose,
Buxton, Garnet, Yellow, White, and mixed, at 35c per pkt.; 3 for $1.00.
Plants of Silver Pink at $5.00 per 100; $45.00 per 1,000. Other varieties later.

All should try a few plants of SILVER QUEEN, a counterpart in color and
habit of Silver Pink, with flowers one-third larger than any variety of snap-
dragon. The price is 50c per plant; $3.00 per doz.

Snapdragon growing is our one hobby. We can supply your every need.

Greenhouse Heating.

THE COAL MARKET.

One of the features of greatest in-
terest in the coal trade this week is the
contrast between the eastern and west-
ern markets. In the east the market is
strong; in the west it is easy. This
marked difference is said to be due to
the searcity of labor and cars and the
obstruction of traffic in the east, while
the opposite conditions prevail in the
west. To trace the cause a step farther,
the obstruction of traffic in the east is
largely the result of the tremendous
movement of merchandise to the coast,
for transportation to Europe. As the
boats for the transatlantic trip are not
available in sufficient numbers, the rail-
road tracks are blockaded with long
lines of loaded cars.

In the smokeless coal market, which
has been abnormally quiet for the last
three weeks, the dullness continues, es-
pecially in mine-run, some of which has
been sold as low as $1.25, though the
major operators hold the price at $1.40.

WATER BOILS OVER.

What would you advise me to do to
prevent the water from boiling over
the expansion tank, in a hot water sys-
tem which works remarkably well ex-
cept in that one particular? The trou-
ble only occurs when the water gets ex-
tremely hot. The expansion tank is lo-
" eated three feet above the highest point
of the flow pipe and is connected with
the lowest point of the return pipe near
the boiler. The greenhouse is 30x175.
There are a 4-inch main flow and re-
turn in the center of the house; the
main flow is overhead. One 24-inch
flow pipe runs on each purlin to both
ends of the house and they return in
eight 2-inch pipes. Anything you may
suggest will be appreciated.

B. B.—Wash.

If the flow pipe runs downhill—that
is, if the highest point in the system
is near the boiler—the trouble will be
largely if not entirely prevented by
connecting the expansion tank with the
highest part of the system, or even by
runhing a l-inch pipe from the highest
part of the system, so that in case the
water in the heater boils, it will dis-
charge into the top of the expansion
tank. The foregoing alteration may also
suffice in case the flow pipe runs up-

hill, but, if it does not correct the dif-
ficulty, it will probably be an easy mat-
ter to change to a downhill system.
It sometimes happens that heaters
boil over owing to the use of a boiler
that is too large. In that case it can
be largely prevented by reducing the
area of the grate and fire-box, or by at-
taching a mercury generator. As we
understand the piping, the number of
square feet, excluding the main flow and
return, is not far from 1,100, and six
feet of grate surface should be ample.

tains about 300 square feet of radiat-
ing surface, which is more than can
be supplied properly by a 2-inch flow
pipe. We would prefer to use one 24%4-
inch flow pipe on each plate, or on the
purlins, with three 2-inch pipes in a coil
on each side wall, or under the side
benches, but fairly good results can be
secured by using one 2-inch pipe on each
plate and four 144-inch returns on each
wall. If the minimum temperature is
not much below 30 degrees, one return
less in each coil may be used, or two 2-
inch flows and six 1%4-inch returns.

IS PIPING IN STORE CLOGGED?

“ I have built a small greenhouse, 18x
28, at the rear of my store and have in-
stalled a hot water heating system. The
greenhouse piping, consisting of one 2-
inch flow and ten 114-inch returns, heats
finely. The boiler is next to the store,
which is 18x65. In the store I placed
one 14-inch flow and four 14-inch re-
turns. The water in the pipes in the
store will not circulate or become warm
until the water is almost boiling in the
main flow in the greenhouse. Can it
be that the piping is closed in some way,
or what is the trouble? All the flow
pipes have a slight fall from the boiler,
and the return pipes have a fall toward
the boiler. I use a stove to help heat
the store. C. H. T.—W. Va.

From the description given by C. H.
T., we are not able to decide just why
the circulation is so unsatisfactory in
the store. One cause of such trouble is
the pocketing of air in the pipes. If
the coil in the store is fed by an inde-
pendent pipe from the-boiler, a pipe
should lead from the highest ‘point in
this system to the expansion tank, or
at least there should be an air valve at
that point. If the store heating system
is -correctly vented and contains no
pockets for air, we would make sure
that this system is properly balanced
with the one in the greenhouse.

We note-that the store system has a
14-inch flow and four 1%4-inch returns,
but the length of the pipes is not given
either in the store or greenhouse. If
the coils are sixty or more feet in
length, we would run a 2-inch flow pipe
to supply the store, carrying it up to
a point as high as, or a little higher
than, the highest point in the flow pipe
leading to the greenhouse. In case the
coils in the store are not as high as
those in the greenhouse, and especially
if they are lower than the top of the
boiler, we would elevate them to a level
with the coils in the greenhouse.

Everything else being equal, the cir-
culation is better the higher the pipes
are above the boiler. Moreover, as the
friction in the small pipes in the store
is greater than in the 14-inch and 2-
inch pipes in the greenhouse, this would
tend to favor the circulation in the
greenhouse, especially when, as appears
to be the case in the store, the flow
pipe is too small for the radiation it
supplies.

NEW BEDFORD.

The Market.

The outlook for Christmas business
is highly encouraging; even this early
there is a call for plants of various
kinds. Azaleas and cyclamens, as usual,
are the most popular. At the present
time the market is short on cut flow-
ers. Last week there was little sun,
with the result that prices on roses and

carnations took a jump upwards. There

still are a few mums to be had, princi-
pally Bonnaffons and Nonins.

Various Notes.

Joseph V. Pierce & Co. have a fine
collection of potted plants for their
Christmas trade. The azaleas are ex-
ceptionally good.

A good call for wreaths is reported
by Ernest Chamberlain, of Sixth street.

H. A. Jahn had a big week in fu-
neral work.

William P. Pierce is doing his usual
good business. There is a growing de-
mand for blooming plants.

Post & Gray installed a refrigerator
last week in their department at the
Steiger-Dudgeon store. They will open
a temporary store for the holidays at
287 Union street and will have a stand
in the lobby of the Parker House.

E. G. Davis, of 191 Shawmut avenue,
is having serious trouble with his car-
nations. He has lost nearly two-thirds
of his entire crop from stem-rot. Mr.
Davis has some excellent Whitmani and
Roosevelt ferns, for which he finds a

been disposed of, the question of hold-
ing a fall flower show was brought up,
but this was defeated. C. O. E. Boehm,
superintendent of parks, started the dis-
cussion of the evening with a talk on
lawns, trees, shrubs, fertilizer, winter
protection, pruning, etc., other mem-
bers taking part in the discussion. This
was followed by refreshments, after
which a vote of thanks was extended to
the hosts of the evening. The next
meeting will be held January 13, at
the residencé of J. Staack, Moline, Tl.

Athenia, N. J— As business has been
brisk since September and stock for
Christmas selling is in splendid shape,
George W. Vreeland anticipates a ban-
ner holiday trade.

PLANT TUBS

EVERLASTING VIRGINIA WHITE CEDAR

ERYBODY nezeee that Plant Tubs made of

everlasting Virginia White Cedar will
best resist rot or decay. The ‘‘ Keystone’’ brand
of White Cedar Plant Tubs are made of this cele-
brated wood, and these goods are painted inside
and out with best oil paints, a rich green.

They are bound with heavy steel hoops for the large
size, and electric-welded wire hoops (galvanized
on the small size. The large sizes are trimm
with handsome drop handles and metal feet, and
have perforated, removable bottoms.

These Cedar Tubs are made in all sizes, from 243
inches top diameter down to 6 inches, amply large
for a Bay Tree and small enough for a Hyacinth.
Every one guaranteed. Booklet in colors, with
prices, furnished upon request.

The Florists’ Review

DAYTON, O.

The Market.

Interest is centering in the industrial
exposition in January in the new Delco
building, East First street. Few of the
florists will be represented. Coming at
a time when stock is scarce and prices
above the average would make it too
expensive an undertaking for most of
the local florists. Those taking space
are, so far, the Heiss Co., Miami Floral
Co., Dayton Floral Co., and, among the
nurserymen, John Siebenthaler, this
city, and the Bohlender Nursery Co., of
Sidney.

Chrysanthemums being over with,
roses and carnations are coming into
prominence. The demand for them is
already good and prices took a decided
jump last week, stock not being any too
plentiful. In potted plants some good
azaleas already are seen. Cyclamens,
among many of the growers, are not
so good as they were a year ago, the
warm fall weather being blamed.
Primula obconica and P. Sinensis are
coming in good, as are some nice speci-
mens of Chatelaine and Cincinnati be-
gonias. The stores are putting on their
Christmas appearance, in green and red.
Red ruscus is being used extensively,
especially for cemetery purposes. All
look for a good trade throughout the
holidays.

D. Rusconi, of Cincinnati, was a re-
cent visitor. G. W. B.

Cairo, Ill—H. W. Cade is proprietor
of the flower store formerly conducted
by his brother, H. H. Cade.

Van Wert, O.—Fire occasioned a loss
of $2,000 to the greenhouses of Scharff
Bros., on Miller street. Rebuilding has
been started.

Des Moines, Ia.—Immediately after
his return from the Chicago flower
show, James 8. Wilson began planning
for a fall flower show at Des Moines
in 1916. Mr. Wilson says he will have
the codperation of growers from all
parts of the country. Mr. Wilson was
one of the judges of the Chicago show.

this year on mums than for a long time.
Roses are coming in plentifully again
and there is every prospect of a good
supply for the holidays. American

have 4-foot stems and are of exception-

result of the popularity of Ophelia.
Carnations are plentiful and are sell-

the old stand-bys. No one here tried
any of the novelties last season. Poin-

made-up boxes. I have, thus far, seen
nothing novel in Christmas supplies for
the florists. There are a few Budd-

has not made its appearance thus far,
with the exception of a few Paper

during each growing season, will great-
ly aid matters, as the Epsom salts will
neutralize the effect of the lime in the
ordinary soil, and the lime is the ele-
ment that is death to the rhododen-
drons.

Keeping Them Green in Winter.

The covering of the foliage in win-
ter is not absolutely necessary, if the
winter sun is excluded, but old, dry
leaves should be packed around the
plants to a depth of a few feet, in the
late fall before the ground is frozen,
and weighted down to prevent them
from being blown away. In this way
the green leaves are exposed and their
beautiful effect gives cheer during the
long winter months; yet the plants are
perfectly secure from deep freezing
and are enabled to obtain the necessary
supply of soil moisture to keep the
leaves plump and fresh. Whenever
the soil is frozen at the roots, the mois-
ture supply is cut off and the plants
take on the dry, yellow appearance

tions. This point regarding moisture
supply can also be applied to every
evergreen tree or shrub, whether broad-
leaved, like the rhododendrons, or like
the ordinary cone-béaring or typical
evergreens.

Success or failure is largely depend-
ent on our skill in selecting suitable
varieties and in limiting ourselves to
what are known as the ironclad list,
and the best rule is that masses of a
few of the hardiest’ species and vari-
eties are more to be desired than a
larger variety of those of questionable
hardiness.

Choosing the Right Varieties.

The nuéleus of the rhododendron
collection should be the species known
as Rhododendron Catawbiense grandi-
florum, an improved form of the rho-
dodendron that grows wild from Penn-
sylvania to the south. This plant is
absolutely hardy and is perhaps the
most beautiful wild shrub in the United
States. The flowers in the budding
stage have a purplish color, but when
fully expanded they are a beautiful
rosy lavender. This species and its
white-flowered form, known botanically
as Rhododendron Catawbiense album,
can be absolutely de-
pended upon, under
proper conditions, to
thrive and give per-
ennial satisfaction.

Another species that
is useful for large
plantations, especially
on country estates, is
the giant laurel of the
south, Rhododendron
maximum. This spe-
cies is absolutely
hardy, growing in a
wild state as far north
as central New York.
Its flowers are white,
sometimes with a

touch of pink. Al-
though not as large
and conspicuous as

those of Catawbiense,
the flowers are quite
showy, and, as they
bloom later in the sea-
son, are desirable in
prolonging the season
of bloom.

There are a number
of useful hardy low-
growing species, such
as Rhododendron Wil-
soni, a pink-flowered
species from China,
and R. punctatum,

a species native to our own country;
also the two species from the European
Alps, R. hirsutum and R, ferrugineum,
well known to tourists of the Alps as
Alpine roses. All of these are well
adapted, by their low, compact growth,
for use as marginal plants in front of
the higher-growing species, and their
different style of foliage is remarkably
leasing when the plants are out of
loom,

The so-called ironclad list embraces
a number of thoroughly tried varieties,
which can be depended. upon for hardi-
ness, but great discretion must be used
in restricting one’s self to the few ab-
solutely hardy forms. It must be re-
membered that the hybrid forms have
in'them the blood of the Indian species,

tual advantage, provided care is taken
to prevent a clash of colors. “ The#dark
foliage of the rhododendrons’ forms a
splendid background for the brilliant
blossoms of the azaleas. On the coun-
try estate unexcelled combinations can
be secured by planting giant laurel,
our native Rhododendron maximum,
which is a tall-growing plant, for a
background, and grouping in front
large masses of these deciduous aza-
leas. As the giant laurel blooms a
month later than the azaleas, the season
of bloom is thereby prolonged for a
considerable period.

Treatment After Flowering.

The care of the plants after flower-
ing is of great importance, but is quite

Rhododendron arboreum, which is not
hardy in this country. It is this blood
which, im conjunction with that of
Rhododendron Catawbiense, gives the
great range of beautiful colors which
the florists show in their Easter dis-
plays.

Among the best are the following:
Rhododendron album elegans, blush

ink, changing to white; Lady Grey

gerton, silvery pink; Caractacus, rich
crimson; R. roseum elegans, rosy pur-
plish flowers; Boule de Neige, pure
white, and Kettledrum, purplish laven-
der.

Many others might be added to this
list, but we would simply be sailing
too close to the danger line and invit-
ing disaster.

Other Shrubs with Rhododendrons.

A number of highly desirable and
absolutely hardy plants of the same
family could be associated with the
rhododendrons in the same plantations.
Chief among these is the mountain
laurel, or Kalmia latifolia, which is
used in England by the thousands and
is there considered the most beautiful
plant ever imported from America. As
it is an evergreen, it is as useful for
its winter effect as the rhododendron,
and its graceful pink flowers, produced
in great abundance, place it in the first
rank of floral beauties.

The native and hybrid Ghent aza-
leas, which, although not evergreens,
have even a greater range of brilliant
colors than the hardy rhododendrons,
ean be planted with them to their mu-

simple. Immediately after the blos-
soms have faded, it is necessary to pick
them off to prevent their going to seed,
giving just the same treatment that is
accorded to lilac bushes, for when seed
is developed there can be no blooms
for the following year. It is also well,
when planting a new border in the
spring, to pick off about one-half of
the flower buds, so as to prevent too
heavy a drain on the constitution of

the plants. Enough buds should be
left to give a magnificent display and
the following year will well repay for
the slight sacrifice.

An abundant supply of water should
be given during the dry weather and
the foliage should be _ occasionally
sprayed to keep the breathing pores, or
stomata, open and in good condition,
especially in smoky ‘ities. or wherever
the atmospheric conditions are mot ‘the
best. George Edward McClure.

HIS SUGGESTION.

‘¢What do you think of our scheme
for the Christmas decorations?’’ she
inquired. ‘‘It is holly over laurel
leaves.’’

‘“*Very good,’’ he replied, ‘‘but per-
sonaHy I should prefer mistletoe over
yew.’’—Examiner.

So many florists have enjoyed the
hospitality of the J. A.)Evans home
at Richmond, Ind., that there will be
wide regret at the news that Mrs.
Evans was operated on at Mercy hos-
pital, Chicago, December 16, for ap-
pendicitis. The trip to Chicago was
made to obtain the services of one of
the most famous surgeons in America
and it will be noted with pleasure that
she is convalescing rapidly. Mr. Evans
expects to remain at Chicago until he
ean take Mrs. Evans home with him.

PAINT FOR GREENHOUSES.

Greenhouse structures, in addition to
being subjected to the action of the
elements from the exterior, are con-
stantly menaced by the warm, humid
atmosphere within. It is for this rea-
son that the greenhouse structure must
be adequately protected from rapid de-
cay, this being accomplished most eco-
nomically and efficiently by the appli-
cation of a sufficient coating of paint
to all surfaces ‘which are subjected to
interior or exterior exposure.

In an investigation of the special
requirements of greenhouse paint, made

~ :
Mr. Kallen, of Kallen & Lunneman, Inspects the Rhododendrons in Highland Park, Rochester, saying “I Never Saw Better.”’

by the Patton people at the request of
the Pittsburgh Plate Glass Co., it was
found that the most essential property
of a paint for greenhouses is imper-
meability to moisture. The paint must
be sufficiently impermeable to prevent
the penetration of moisture from within
or without. Moisture in the structure
will in time cause decay, or be drawn
to the exterior paint surface by the
heat of the sun, causing blistering and
peeling of the paint coating. In this
connection it would be well to call at-
tention to the fact that the structure
must be dry throughout before paint-
ing. If this important feature is not
carefully considered, the moisture will
in time be drawn toward the exterior
exposed surface, causing blistering and
peeling.

White is the most rational color to
use for greenhouse painting, since it
gives the maximum reflection of light.

Other features to be considered are
ease of application, elasticity of dried
coating, permanency of color, durabil-
ity and, last, but not least, is the mat-
ter of covering the maximum quantity
of surface with the minimum quantity
of material without losing the other
essential qualities. No! Paint is not
paint, by any means. There is as much
difference in the value of paint as in
the value of flowers.

BRIEF FACTS ON GIGANTEUMS.

We would appreciate some advice on
the best method of growing giganteum
liltes, both recently imported and cold
storage bulbs, for Easter. When should
they be started for that date?

Y. P. C.—Mo.

This is the latest date for potting
giganteum lilies for Easter, 1916. Give
them a temperature of 60 degrees from
start to finish. Be careful to run them
on the dry side until the pots have
plenty of active roots. Giganteums need
warm culture and some shade to give

them the necessary length of stem. The
cold storage bulbs require a much
shorter period than the recently im-
ported ones. Cc. W.

TIMING PLANTS FOR EASTER.

Kindly state the best time to bring
azaleas, rhododendrons, hydrangeas,
etc., into the house so as to have them
in bloom for Easter. R. K.—Md.

Allow azaleas eight weeks; rhodo-
dendrons, six to eight weeks; lilacs,
four to five weeks; genistas, four to
five weeks; spireas, eight to ten weeks
—the pink varieties require more time
than the white ones; lilies, six weeks

from the time buds can be counted;
rambler and other roses, nine to twelve
weeks; French hydrangeas, eight to ten
weeks; Hydrangea Otaksa, ten to twelve
weeks in a temperature of 60 degrees.
Much will depend on weather condi-
tions. The periods stated will each
allow time to give the plants a little
hardening off before they are used.

HIS POINSETTIAS ARE LATE.

My poinsettias seem to be a trifle late
this year and I wonder whether the
trouble is local or general, as I cut my
plants back at the same time as last
year and this is the first time I have
had this trouble. Can you advise me?

R. K.—Md.

The general trouble with poinsettias
this year has heen that they are too
early, many being fully developed for
Thanksgiving. I am afraid you have
been growing your plants too cool.
They need a temperature of 60 degrees
at night, which can be reduced some-
what when the bracts are well ex-
panded. Cc. W.

DISEASED HELIOTROPE PLANTS.

I am sending you a heliotrope plant
which I think is full of mite or is af-
fected with some sort of disease. Will
you please let me know what the trou-
ble is, and the remedy for it?

E. M.—Mass.

The sample plant was so dried up
that I could not possibly tell what had
been the trouble with it. I think possi-
bly your cuttings may have been over-
potted, or kept too damp and in too
low a temperature. Try keeping your
plants in a warm, sunny house and
they will grow well. A winter tempera-
ture of 55 degrees suits them. C. W.

that three years ago-we bought a num-
ber of plants of Prima~Donna, that
were sold to us and billed to us as
Prima Donna. In addition to this, it
was advertised all over the west, and is
so today, as Prima Donna. In our ecircu-
lar, which we are sending to the trade,
we have printed, in addition to Prima
Donna, the words ‘‘Mme. P. Euler,
Guillot, 1908,’’ without knowing from
our own experience that Euler and
Prima Donna are one and the same.

The strain which we are:selling under
the name of the Florex Gardens has
been produced after careful selection,
experimentation and thorough cultiva-
tion, and the success we now have in
producing this beautiful rose is by no
means the same as it was when we first
began to grow it. The fact that the
judges at the New York Florists’ Club
gave the exhibitor a vote of thanks
and the rose was awarded eighty-seven
points of merit, shows the value of the
rose, with which the name had nothing
whatever to do.

In addition, we think the name of
Prima Donna is much more attractive
to the general public, whom we all
want to serve. The French name would
have been contorted in all manner of
ways. If Euler and Prima Donna are
one and the same rose, that would be
nothing unusual in rose nomenclature.
From the action of Mr. Wallace R.
Pierson at the meeting of the New
York Florists’ Club, one would infer
that he is strongly opposed to this mat-
ter of change in rose nomenclature, but
opening one of the latest catalogues of
A. N. Pierson, Inc., we find Prince de
Bulgarie advertised as Mrs. Taft and
Mme. Ferdinand Jamain listed as
American Beauty. No doubt there are
many others in the same class.

It is not our intention to exhibit this
rose for awards of merit, which, of
course, are always acceptable, but it is
done to show the grower what this
beautiful rose can do. And it is our
intention to exhibit it at the meetings
during the dark months, as an impres-
sion has gone abroad that it will not do
well in the dark winter days. We have
never shown the rose as a new rose
and if it has been called a new rose in

newspaper reports, it was done with-
out our knowledge and authority.
The Florex Gardens.

THE MRS. THAYER ROSE.

The following clipping from the Hor-
ticultura e Journal (British) will
be ‘read with interest by many growers
here:

(Mr/ Harry A. Barnard, of Stuart

Low & Co., has just returned from his

usual business trip through the United
States, bringing back with him a num-
ber of blooms of a_fine new light pink
rose named Mrs. Bayard Thayer, raised
by A. Montgomery, of the Waban Rose
Conservatories, Natick, Mass. Unfor-
tunately, most of the flowers failed to
last out the fortnight of travel, other-
wise it was intended to exhibit them
at the R. H. S. meeting. Mr. Barnard
did, however, bring along a couple of
blooms, and we feel safe in hazarding

that the Mrs. Bayard Thayer is an im-
portant rose. It appears to have the
build and growth of. the Mrs. Charles
Russell, another of the Waban ‘Rose
Conservatories’ seedlings, and these
characteristics, coupled with its strong
perfume, should make it a serious rival
to the Mme. Abel Chatenay.’’

The Mrs. Thayer might be expected
to have ‘‘the build and growth of Mrs.
Russell,’’ since it is a sport of: that
variety. It. is understood ‘it is to be
disseminated next season.

HEARST AND RADIANCE.

A large number of growers who have
found My Maryland an excellent rose,
except for its color, will be interested
in the approaching dissemination of
Mrs. William R. Hearst, a sport said to
be identical in all respects except color,
which is a clear dark pink.

Radiance has succeeded admirably
with some, but not with all, of those
who have grown it under glass; but it
has been a great success everywhere
as a garden rose. Red Radiance is a
sport, described by the name.

Both these varieties were shown at
the Cleveland exhibition and at shows
farther east this season by A. N.
Pierson, Ine., Cromwell, Conn., from
which place they will be disseminated
in the spring. The photographs. used
for the accompanying illustrations were
made by Wallace R. Pierson.

lake glistening in the distance, but
what at subsequent and closer view is
nothing more or less than the green-
houses of the Butte Floral Co. Here,
under 90,000 square feet of glass, stock
is grown for sale in Butte and else-
where.

It was in 1900 that three energetic
men, William J. Day, James H. King
and Philo H. King, concentrated their
resources and launched the Butte Floral
Co. The beginning, as most beginnings
are, was modest, but by business acu-
men and enterprise the three owners in
sixteen years have developed the in-
auspicious beginning into what is one
of the largest greenhouses and retail
establishments in the state.

Roses are a specialty and Charles
Adams, the rose grower, particularly
likes Richmond, Killarney, White Kil-
larney, Shawyer, Hoosier Beauty and
Ophelia. These varieties in large quan-
tities are disposed of by the downtown
salesroom at 27 West Broadway. The
illustration herewith gives a view in
the rose house. There are 5,000 plants
and the Christmas cut is estimated at
7,500 flowers. It is the first Christmas
since the concern started business that
it was not necessary to send to some
distant market for roses.

AMERICAN ROSE SOCIETY.

The executive committee of the
American Rose Society held a meeting
in New York city December 13. It
was reported that the rose garden pre-
mium for the Philadelphia flower show,
March 25 to April 2, had been raised,
so that the first prize shall be $500 in
cash, second prize $400 cash and third
prize $300 cash.

The Henry F. Michell Co., of Phila-
delphia, offers a gold medal each for. the
best vase of twenty-five cut blooms of
American Beauty roses, of twenty-five
cut blooms of Mrs. Charles Russell
roses and of twenty-five cut blooms of

red roses. Special prizes have been re-
ceived from:

These prizes are all at the disposition
of the American Rose Society, to place
where they will be most useful.

The secretary was directed to notify
all affiliated societies that beginning
January, 1916, they will be required to
pay 25 cents for each member instead
of 10 cents as heretofore. The reason
for this action is that the furnishing
of medals and annuals as now proposed
makes it an impracticable arrangement,
based on 10 cents, for the American
Rose Society to carry out.

The committee appointed at the last
annual meeting to report on the stand-
ardization of stems of various cut flow-
ers for commercial sale reported prog-
ress. The committee was composed of
8S. 8S. Pennock, of Philadelphia; Pat-
rick Welch, of Boston; Frank H.
Traendly, of New York city. The ar-
ranging of standard lengths of stem
was brought up by former President
Elliott. From time to time such pro-
cedure has been requested by commer-
cial florists in various parts of the
eountry.

Rose Red Radiance.

A matter was referred to the execu-
tive committee asking if something
could be done in regard to preventing
the renaming of: ‘roses different from
the name under which they were first
disseminated. Action was deferred, the
report to be presented at the coming
annual meeting.

There are 114 members of the Ameri-

can Rose Society in good standing with
the Society of American Florists and
this entitles 8. S. Pennock, the presi-
dent of the American Rose Society,
to membership for 1916 on the board
of directors of the S. A. F.

The following roses were registered
and publication of the register directed:

Callas.

Callas in pots flower much more free-
ly in midwinter than those planted in
benches. Keep the pots well watered
nd, in addition to waterings with
liquid manure, give surface dressings
of fine bone or Clay’s fertilizer. It
is astonishing how the roots will come
to the surface and greedily devour these
top-dressings. Callas will bloom well
if grown as cool as 50 degrees at night,
but flowers will come more quickly at
55 to 58 degrees. As between the old
Calla AXthiopica and the newer Godfrey
there is absolutely no comparison. The
latter will outbloom the former three to
one and the flowers are more. purely
white. Sometimes callas are ‘troubled
with mealy bug, but not if the hose is
used judiciously among them.

Cinerarias and Calceolarias.

With the passing of chrysanthemums,
it is now possible to give cinerarias and
calceolarias some much needed addition-
al space. It is not possible to house
shapely plants of either of these where
they are allowed to crowd each other.
Elevate some of the larger plants on
inverted pots. Nice specimens can be
grown where this is done. Both of
these plants prefer a cold house, not
over 45 degrees at night. Neither likes
much sun, even in midwinter, and. each
appreciates a spraying over on clear
days. Green aphis is partial to ‘both
plants and will soon disfigure them if

STIGMONOSE AND LEAF-SPOT.

Enclosed you will find some Enchant-
ress foliage, which seems to be badly
affected by both stigmonose and leaf-
spot. What can I do to stop the
further progress of these diseases?
From the time of benching, about Au-
gust 5, until recently, I have sprayed
about every ten days with Bordeaux
mixture. (Lately I have sprayed with
Bordeaux about once in two weeks. I
have kept. the soil well loosened. The
plants have made good, strong growth
and the flowers are excellent, but in
several benches the entire foliage is
withering. I notice that the trouble
is also starting on my Ward and White
Enchantress. J. S—N. Y.

Bordeaux mixture is the proper rem-
edy for leaf-spot, but there is not much
of that disease on the specimens gub-
mitted. Apparently most of the trou-
ble is due to stigmonose, which, in ag-
gravated cases, causes the leaves to
‘dry up. Ordinarily there are only spots

already been done,
Canterbury Bells.

Canterbury bells are impatient of
hard forcing. They rarely are seen in
good condition for Haster, but, as the
coming Easter is unugually late, it will
be possible, to have them in good condi-
tion at that time, April 23. Plants
potted in September and being carried
over in a coldframe, can be placed, or at
least a part of them, in a cool, sunny
house. They will not start throwing up
spikes for some time, but you will only
spoil them if you give them a warm
house. The cooler, they are allowed to
start up, the better they will be. In
watering use care not to damp the cen-
ters of the crowns, or rot may set in. ~
The single variety is much the best for
pot culture.

Anemone Japonica.

Anemone Japonica, the beautiful fall-
flowering perennial, is not half suf-.
ficiently appreciated by florists. It is
valuable for cutting ‘and extremely use-
ful in floral designs... Propagation is
easy at this séason> Dig up a few
old plants, cut off the thicker roots and
cut these up into short lengths. Spread
ow a cutting bench where they can have
a good bottom heat and cover with a
light layer of sand. Give the bench
a watering once a day. It does not
take more than a few weeks for growths
to appear, and when these have made
two or three leaves, lift and pot them.
Grow warm for a while, and gradually
harden off toward spring. They can be
planted out about the end of April if
not sold to some of your customers.
There are many yarieties now in com-
merce, but for commercial growers

of dead tissue, but when a spot spreads
across the width of a leaf, that portion
above the spot is certain to dry up for
lack of nourishment. There is prac-

- tically no help for a plant when it is

as far advanced as that. Either pull
out such plants or cut away any
branches that are badly affected. When
you propagate your next season’s stock,
avoid such plants, and in course of
time you will be free from the trouble.

TEMPERATURE FOR CUTTINGS.

Kindly inform me what is the right
temperature for the sand in the cutting
bed, in rooting carnation cuttings.

W. S.—Mass.

It is a mistake to use much bottom
heat for rooting carnation cuttings. It
would no doubt hasten the rooting
somewhat, but it would also cause the
cuttings to soften. If you maintain an
overhead temperature of 50 degrees
and you have a 2-inch, pipe under the
propagating bench, there will be enough
bottom heat. We do not box up the

space under the bench to any extent,
but consider a board or curtain twelve
inches wide below the edge-board as
being enough. Of greater importance
than bottom heat is proper control of
the air currents and the shading from
the sun at certain periods. If you
have proper control over these, you will
be able to propagate carnation cuttings
successfully on any bench.
A. F. J. B.

INFESTED WITH RED SPIDER.

We are enclosing some carnation
leaves. The plants a month ago were
in first-class- condition. The soil was
not changed in the bed last year, but
was all spaded up well and cow manure
was mixed with it. We have been giv-
ing a considerable amount of ventila-
tion, but have had a great deal of
cloudy weather. Please let us know
what treatment to use. The houses con-
taining the carnations run north and
south, and the plants at the south end
do not seem to be as badly affected as
those at the north end. S. & S.—Ia.

Your carnations seem to be bady in-
fested with red spider. _ That securfy
appearance of the leaves is the result,
and if you will look closely you will
be able to detect the tiny insects. Get
an Evans salt sprayer and use it accord-
ing to directions. and you will be rid
of the spider in due time. Lose no
time in this, as the longer you put it
off, the harder it will be to exterminate
them. A. F. J. B.

INFESTED WITH NEMATODES.

We have begonia plants that are in-
fested with nematodes, which cause a
form of club-root. The roots become
enlarged and the plants begin to wilt
and finally die. We believe that our
carnation plants also have become in-
fested. We want your advice as to
how to kill out the nematodes and how
to prevent their presence. What plants
do they principally infest?

R. F. C.—Tex.

Several cases of this kind have come
to my notice during the last few years,
but I have heard of none that was
treated successfully. In each instance,
the plants either died outright or be-
came stunted and ceased to grow dur-
ing the winter months, much the same
as we have seen roses do. If your stock
is badly infested, I would suggest that,
as soon as they decline enough to be
unprofitable, you throw them out and
use the room for some other crop. I
do not know that the trouble is limited
to certain plants. Sterilizing is un-
doubtedly the surest and most prac-
tical remedy. If your soil seems to
be infested, it will pay you to install
a sterilizing plant and to treat all your
soil in the future. You will then be
practically safe from trouble along this
line. A. F. J. B.

VARIETIES FOR LOCAL TRADE.

We wish to plant 1,000 carnations
next year, but are undecided as to
which are the best varieties. What
varieties would you recommend, and in
what proportions should we plant the
different colors so as to have the most
salable flowers for local retail trade?
We already have Enchantress, White
Enchantress, Rosette, Bonfire and Lady
Bountiful, but thought that there might
be better varieties. In giving your

tt)

list, please state the° témperature at
which each variety will do-best. Would
this season’s lettuce soil be suitable to
use for carnations next fall?

‘ C. F. B.—Wash.

~Dividing’1,000 plants into the differ-
ent. colors, I would plant 300 White
Wonder, 300 Enchantress Supreme, 250

3@-pink Enchantregs*and 150 Cham-

“pion.” Z-would further suggest that you

get a-limited number of the following
varieties; as second ‘¢hoice in the same
colors: Matchless*m white, Alice in
flesh-pink and Good Cheer in bright
pink. You may like the latter three
better than those first recommended.
All the varieties you name are back
numbers except White Enchantress,
and that is not as good as either
White Wonder or Matchless. Last
year’s lettuce soil is not suitable for
benching the carnations in. Use new
soil, made up of sod and manure, using
about four parts of sod to one part of
manure. All these varieties will do
well in a temperature of 50 to 52 de-
grees at night. A. F. J. B.

WASHINGTON’S FLOWEBS.

A large percentage of the florists of
this country who believed in Booker
T. Washington, of Tuskegee, Ala., and
admired him for his heroic and success-
ful efforts to elevate his race, probably
will never find occasion to visit his
grave. For them, particularly, the
mountain has come to Mahomet, in this
issue of The Review, in an illustration
of his grave with its funeral flowers.

Funeral Swers on the Grave of Booker T. Washington.

Even the casual, uninformed visitor,
in nearing the grave of Booker Wash-
ington as it looked at the time the
photograph was taken, would have at
once realized that there reposed all
that was mortal of one who had been
esteemed far above the generality of
his kind, even though his skin was
black, He would see a pyramid of de-
signs, twenty feet at the base and
about twenty-five feet high.

Most of these designs were furnished
by the Oak Grove Greenhouse, of
Tuskegee. The pyramid, therefore,
stands not only as a monument, tem-
porarily, to the esteem in which the
deceased was held, but to the ability of
the florist to meet a sudden heavy de-
mand. The Oak Grove Greenhouse was
called on and found not wanting on an
occasion of nation-wide moment. Or-
ders came from florists all over the
United States.

GETTING THE ORDERS.

Those florists who have received tele-
graph orders from Hugo Schroeter dur-
ing the Christmas season will be inter-
ested in knowing how he got so many
of them. In everything that left the

cluded a neatly printed card that said:

The Florists’ Review

DECEMBER 23, 1915.

Legislation

Leg

RESTRICTING COMPETITION.

Rose, an alert florist who has a well
established business on a busy street,
desiring to restrict competition, sizes
up the situation, and decides that he is
safe against the establishment of a
rival business on his street unless
Gotrox, who owns a building half a
block away, should rent the ground
floor to Chris Anthemum, Rose’s main
competitor. Rose goes to Gotrox and
pays him $200 for a written agreement
that the building will not be rented for
a period of two years to any florist.
Later Gotrox violates the contract.
Has Rose any legal remedy against
him?

A decision handed down the other
day by the Texas Court of Civil Ap-
peals answers the question in the nega-
tive (Smith vs. Kousiakis, 172 South-
western Reporter 586). The gist of the
decision is that a person may acquire
a valid option on a building to be
rented for a-certain purpose; and that
a seller of a business may validly bind
himself not to reéngage in the same
line of business in competition with
his successor, if the agreement is made
as a part of the contract of sale; and
that an owner of a building, in leasing
part of it for a certain line of business,
may validly agree not to rent any other
part of the same building for use by a
rival of the tenant, but that a naked
promise by an owner of a building not
to rent it for a certain legitimate pur-
pose is violative of the antitrust laws.

AUTHORITY OF TRAVELERS.

A florist, dealing with traveling sales-
men, should remember the following
mentioned points of law, as recently
decided by the Supreme court of Ar-
kansas:

Third persons, in dealing with such
salesmen, act at their own peril, except
as to matters which are clearly within
the actual or apparent authority of the
salesman. For instance, the mere fact
that a traveling salesman is authorized
to take orders for goods does not give
him implied power to collect the price.
Unless the employer has in some way
manifested intention to authorize the
salesman to receive payment, the buyer
will take the risk of making payment
airectly to the salesman. If such pay+
ment is made to a salesman it certainly
should be made in the form of a check
payable to the seller, rather than to
the salesman individually. Even when
it appears that a salesman is authorized
to collect cash payments, that cannot
be relied upon by a customer as show-
ing authority to. take a note, check or
draft payable at some future time.

In the Arkansas case, a customer
accepted a draft payable in the future,
drawn by a salesman in the name of
his house, but payable to himself. The
salesman negotiated the draft, kept the
proceeds, and disappeared without ac-
counting for the payment. It now ap-
pears that the customer will have to

‘pay the bill again, merely because he

had no legal ground for believing that
the salesman was authorized to receive
the payment. 8.

FRANK DINDA’S EMMA.

Those of the New Yorkers .who
braved the stormy night of December
13 and attended the annual meeting of
the Florists’ Club, will -recognize- in
the accompanying illustration the new
seedling chrysanthemum, Emma, which
was exhibited by A. J. Guttman, in
behalf of Frank Dinda, of Farmingdale,
N. Y., with whom Emma originated.
This variety is described as being an
anemone .of the Garza type. Its full,
solid flowers are of a light pink color,
edged with a still lighter center. Chrys-
anthemum Emma comes.into crop about
November 10. It is said that this sea-
son more than 8,000 sprays were dis-
posed of at the average price of 6

Chrysanthemum Emma.

cents per spray. ‘‘Everybody liked
it,’’ aceording to Guttman & Raynor,
Mr. Dinda’s agents. It is planned to
disseminate the variety this season.

GARDENIA FOLIAGE IS PALE.

I have a number of Gardenia Veitchii
in pots. Three months ago they were
transferred from 3%-ineh to 6-inch
pots. The compost consisted mainly of
peat. Until about three weeks ago the
temperature was 50 degrees at night.
The soil remained wet so long that I
repotted them in a soil of sandy loam,
well sifted, and reduced the pots to

three-quarter sizes. They are now in
a night temperature of 60 to 62 degrees.
I spray them twice a week. They are
ventilated about 9:30 on sunny days
and I only give them water when the
soil shows signs of drying up. Now the
leaves, that is the young growths, have
a pale, almost white appearance and
look sickly. The growths from the
base of the plant seem to dry up and
die. Is the defect in the soil or in the
temperature, or should they be grown
in the bench instead of in _pots and
should the soil have manure mixed with
it? I shall appreciate it if you can
help me out with a few details as to
their treatment. C. R. W.—Mich,

Gardenias require a compost through
which water will pass readily. Evi-
dently yours is of a different nature.
A suitable potting medium is one com-
posed of two-thirds fibrous loam with
the finer particles shaken out, and the
balance lumpy, dried cow manure,
coarse sand, broken charcoal and half
decayed leaf-mold. Water will soon
pass through such a compost and soggy
conditions are unlikely. A temperature
of 50 degrees at night is low for gar-
denias. The plants may stand it in the
early fall, but they should have 62 to
65 degrees at night after the early part
of September. In shifting from 3%-
inch to 6-inch pots you made a mis-
take; a change from 34-inch to 5-inch
would have been far better.

It will be difficult to get your plants
back into condition now. If they are
well rooted, try the effects of an ocea-
sional dose of soot water. In using
peat as a compost you made a mistake.
Loam is preferable. The plants are
just as likely to have pale foliage in
benches as in pots, if the compost,
watering and temperature are not right.

C. W.

POT PLANTS ON SOLID BEDS.

We have some solid beds on which we
wish to place some material to provide
drainage for pot plants. In some of
the beds the pot plants will be fol-
lowed by chrysanthemums; other beds
will be used next year for carnations.
What shall we use for drainage? We
have cinders or ashes from soft coal,
sand and gravel. The cinders are fresh
and we have been told that they con-
tain sulphur, which will injure the
plants. We know that a great many
florists in this section will not use
cinders, but prefer a layer of sand on
board benches. Would sand be good
for solid beds? Aside from the drain-
age, we find it necessary to use some-
thing to keep the pot plants from root-
ing through. Y. P. C.—Mo.

I have always found coal ashes an
excellent covering to place on beds or
benches on which pot plants are to
be placed, and have yet to find any
injury they have done to any plants.
You will find that the roots will run
into the coal ashes just as greedily as
they will into sand or gravel. There
will be less trouble with worms in the
pots where ashes are used than with
sand. The latter is more inclined to
get slimy unless it is quite coarse, in
which case it makes an excellent mate-
rial to stand pot plants on. It will do
your plants no harm to root through
the bottoms a little. Such plants will
be found to be of better quality than
those placed on bare boards or slates.

NEW YORE.

The Market.

Last week will not soon be forgotten.
Added to the dullness that almost in-
variably precedes Christmas, the worst
snow storm in many years arrived De-
cember 13, delaying trains, making
streets almost impassable and _ para-
lyzing business of every kind. It was
especially discouraging to the cut flower
trade. These conditions were intensi-
fied as the week'closed by a blinding
rain storm that spoiled the Saturday
business and left the market. with much
unsold stock with which to start Christ-
mas week.

Business last week was not so good
as in the corresponding week of 1914.

The shipments of American Beauties
have been slowly increasing and there
is the promise of a good supply for
Christmas. The best did not go above
40 cents last week. Some. grand
Hoosier Beauty are arriving daily and
20 cents has been the asking price for
the best of them. Hadley, too, is ex-
ceptionally good. In fact, nearly all
the roses are at their best and the rose-
loving public never had such a wonder-
ful list to chose from. For Christmas
there will be enough of all varieties to
hold prices on a reasonable level.

Carnations have<not been overabun-
dant and quite an advance occurred
last week, the best bringing 5 cents and
even 6 cents, but it is doubtful if even
the best red sell above 10 cents for
Christmas.

Gardenias are lower, $4 per dozen
buying the best last week, and probably
the shortage is over. Valley remains
unchanged and lilies are selling at bet-
ter prices than for a long time. Sweet
peas are improving and the best sold
at $1.50 per hundred December 18. Vio-
lets are decidedly scarce and have been
holding at top quotations. This seems
to be a violet year and the old favorite
is coming to the front again.

In pots and pans and cut there is an
oversupply of poinsettias. Only the
best can be disposed of at paying prices.
There was a great surplus of stevia as
last week ended. It is surprising what
a display of chrysanthemums is being
made for the holidays. There will be
plenty of bouvardias, narcissi, pansies,
callas and daisies. Orchids are more
abundant, but good prices are being
obtained. The figures will doubtless be
maintained until the holidays are over.

Various Notes.

R. Vincent, Jr., of White Marsh, Md.,
celebrated his. seventy-third birthday
here December 15 by a dinner with his
friends and a sober and sedate theater
party. He lectured before the Inter-
national Garden Club and the society
ladies of New York December 16.

The horticultural banquet season has
opened. The Oyster Bay Horticultural
Society celebrated December 14, the
coldest and stormiest night so far this
winter. The Morris County Horticul-
tural Society has chosen January 17 for
its celebration. Glen Cove will open
its hospitable arms January 25. Tarry-
town, Mount Kisco, -Orange, Tuxedo,
Westchester and New York will all
have their place at the festive board
as winter progresses.

Twenty-eighth street, between Broad-
way and Sixth avenue, is fast becoming
the mid-city retail headquarters of the
florists’ business. In addition to Young

MISS PAULINE WINDMILLER.

O HAVE one’s picture and smile in the daily papers is no insignificant matter
these days—the war news and Christmas ads have placed space for other things
at a mighty high premium; one must accomplish something decidedly out of the ordi-

nary to attain the limelight even for one fleeting day.

By her good work did Miss

Pauline Windmiller win fame in her home town, Mankato, Minn., and this week she

graces The Review’s ‘‘ Who’s Who.’’

Miss Windmiller’s achievement was the Man-

kato flower show, or, rather, the Windmiller show, which, mind you, was not held in
the Windmiller store, but in a good-sized auditorium, to which admission was charged.
Miss Windmiller invited some of the leading growers and florists to participate in her

show, and thereby pleased a city.

It is said that Miss Windmiller sells flowers as

successfully as she manages exhibitions, which of course is the reason why the Wind-

miller Co. is forging ahead so rapidly.

& Nugent, Woodrow & Marketos and
C. C. Trepel, the J. N. Hills Co. has
just opened a store at 36 Twenty-eighth
street.

Samuel Salsberg announced his en-
gagement Saturday.

An epidemic of grip has followed the
storm. Among its victims last week
were J. K. Allen and Retta E. Rankin,
manager of the House of Ferns.

F. R. Pierson, of Tarrytown, has been
seriously ill of grip.

J. J. Coan, the latest addition to the
ranks of the wholesale florists of Twen-
ty-eighth street, says he is more than
satisfied with the volume of business he
is doing. Walter Singleman, formerly
with the Growers’ Cut Flower Co., is
the head salesman.

EVANSTON, ILL.

The Market.

While trade has been quite up to the
expectations of the most sanguine, up
to the end of last week it was not af-
fected by the holidays, which is a

fairly good indication that every florist -

will have as much Christmas business.
as he can conveniently handle. Bvery-
one was busy getting display windows
and stock ready, for Christmas, and as
Evanstonians betray a much stronger

enchant for plants than for cut flow-
‘eS, — seem to figure most promi-
nently.

“ The honors for first place among the
roses seem to be divided among Rus-
sell, Ward and Ophelia. All are ex-
tremely popular here, and all are ex-
cellent sellers. Ward and valley have
the call for corsage work. No one was
inclined -tosbook advance orders for
carnations. There is a good demand
for cattleyas, and bouvardia will al-
ways sell. Paper Whites and Roman
hyacinths are moving easily, while
sweet peas and violets meet with favor.

Azaleas and cyclamens are selling un-
usually well and the retailers last week
began to experience a call for poin-
settias.

Various Notes.

An unusual experience in the way of
F. T. D. orders fell to the lot of George
C. Weiland the other day. It was an
order for $5 worth of roses to be de-
livered in Buenos Aires, Argentina,
South America. Mr. Weiland wired to
Albert Pochelon, secretary of the
F. T. D., Detroit, Mich., to ascertain
the name of the florist in Buenos Aires.
He then cabled the order at an ex-
pense of $14.

An English shipment of $1,200 worth
of delphinium roots has just been re-
ceived by Richard F. Gloede.

A good corsage and basket trade is
reported by John Weiland, who antici-
pates an unusually heavy Christmas
business.

According to Philip Eichling, of
Fisher Bros., their patrons take more
kindly to plants than to cut flowers.
Many contend the plants give greater
satisfaction. Their cut flower demand
is strongest for Russell and Ophelia
roses.

_ The

Believing that it pays to get in the
best physical condition before a holiday
rush, N. K. Welter spent last week in
the southern pert of the state hunting
for quails and rabbits. :

The entire propagating force of
Weiland & Risch is hard at work on the
new rose, Champ Weiland, which this
firm wilt put out in the spring. The
last flowers have been cut and sent to
the Atlantic coast. From now on for
the next few months everything goes
into wood. Among the other new va-
rieties that are receiving close atten-
tion here are Russell and Mrs. Moor-
field Storey.

ITHAOA, N. Y.

E. C. Volz has recently been ap-
pointed an instructor in floriculture at
the New York State College of Agricul-
ture at Cornell University, in place of
R. H. Patch, who resigned to accept a
position in the Essex County (Mass.)
Agricultural School. Mr. Volz is a
graduate of the Michigan Agricultural
College, where he specialized in flori-
culture and“related subjects. He has
also had considerable commercial ex-
perience. uring the last year Mr.
Volz has had charge of instruction in
floriculture and- vegetable gardening at
the Agricultural College at Ames, Ia.,
where his work met with pronounced
success. ;

The short course is now well under
way and the commercial class is un-

“panplly promising. Nearly all in the
class have had experience in green-
house work, so that it has been possi-
ble to eliminate much elementary prac-
tice and devote the time to more
technical and scientific phases of the
subject. Those taking the course are
Charles Aubrey, Caldwell, N. J.; Mrs.
J. K. Burden Cazenovia, N. Fae BoP.
Corbin, Stamford, N. Y.; D. 8. Dunlap,
Altoona, Pa.; Frank M. Dunlop,
Toronto, Canada; Joseph Rosenthal,
New York city, And Charles E. Tefft,
Cambridge, N. Y. Immediately follow-
ing the Christmas vacation this class
will make an observation trip in the
vicinity of New York city. The trip
will include visits to large rose, car-
nation, orehid, potted plant and other
growing establishments, park and pri-
vate conservatories, also to retail,
wholesale, auction and seed establish-
ments, where careful studies will be
made of methods used in flower pro-
duction and marketing.

Men taking the four-year course re-
cently took an observation trip to Buf-
falo, which was immensely instructive.
The class, numbering fifteen, was most
hospitably entertained by W. J. Palmer
and W. F. Kasting. Mr. Palmer and
son, Mark, entertained the class at a
luncheon at the Ellicott Club, after
which automobiles were furnished and
Allbright’s private conservatories,
Delaware park conservatories, the com-
mercial ranges of Sandiford and
Neubeck and the retail stores of Ander-
son and Palmer were inspected. Mr.
Kasting also showed the men the work-
ing details of a large city post-office,
which was instructive. Saturday
morning an early visit was made to
the wholesale establishment of the
W. F. Kasting Co., where all details
of management were carefully ex-
plained. Automobiles were then pro-
vided for the trip to Lancaster, where
careful study was made of W. J.
Palmer & Son’s commercial ranges. The

foreman, B. F. Myers, gave the visitors
a vast amount of useful information.
After lunch the party visited the South
park conservatories, where they became
enthusiastic over the wonderful collec-
tion of unusual plants.

BALTIMORE.

The Market.

Business has been brisk during the
pee ee week, Stock-in general
as shortened up considerably. This
is especially true of carnations, which
seem to become scarcer as Christmas
approaches, The situation in roses is
good; there is a fair supply and a good
demand for all grades, except, possibly,
the specials. The short white and me-
dium white are in extra good demand
for funeral work, owing to the shortage
in carnations. Paper Whites are ar-
riving in larger quantities, but are still
selling well. Peas have been moving
well, with only a limited supply. The
prices of all cut flowers have increased
until normal Christmas prices are now
prevailing and they show a fair in-
crease over last year’s figures for the
same period.

Various Notes.

Mrs. Katherine B. Halliday, wife of
Wm. J. Halliday, died at her home on
Liberty Heights avenue, December 13,
of Bright’s disease. The funeral serv-
ices were held from her late home, De-

‘cember 16.

James Glass erected a miniature
greenhouse around his stand at Eutaw
and Lexington streets, for the protec-
tion of his plants and cut flowers dur-
ing the holiday season. The structure
consists of a number of glass-paneled
doors fastened together by bolts and
angle irons, and, is removable with lit-
tle trouble. The roof is of canvas, tent-
shaped, with a high center and low
sides. It is a decided improvement
over the usual open stand and it is
to be regretted that protection some-
what on this line cannot be had _ per-
manently by all the growers selling in
the market.

John B. Harmon is cutting some fine
Mrs. Siegwart carnations at his green-
houses in Catonsville. The stems are
long and strong and the flowers eclipse
anything seen so far this season.

W. F. Therkildson, publicity agent
for W. Atlee Burpee & Co., of Philadel-
phia, spoke before the Advertising Club
of Baltimore on ‘‘ Advertising Methods
as Applied by the Seedsman,’’ at its
meeting held in the Hotel Emerson,
December 16.

F. C. Bauer is cutting some fine Ra-
diance roses. The blooms are the equal
of Beauties in size and are of a good
color, due to being grown in only a
moderately warm house.

L. H. A. Klein is cutting some fine
orchid-flowering sweet peas and a later
crop also looks promising. His azaleas
are in good shape for Christmas trade
and should meet with a ready sale.

The next club meeting will be held
December 27.

The Leo Niessen Co. has been han-
dling some excellent single violets. A
fine cut of Ophelia has also been com-
ing in.

Stevenson Bros. have a lot of Rich-
monds that are just starting to give a
good cut and they promise a heavy crop
for the holiday trade. W. F. Ez

TOLEDO, 0O.

The Market.

The cut flower supply has shortened
considerably. There is a scarcity of
stock and prices have advanced in all
lines. Chrysanthemums are entirely
done with and this has helped the sharp
price advance of other cut flowers.
Only about enough flowers are on the
market each morning to enable the flo-
rists to take care of orders for that
day. This is proof positive that busi-
ness is good. Poinsettias are in fine
cut, as are roses. Carnations are good,
but the cut is not in proportion to the
demand. Narcissi are in demand, but
as yet are scarce. The wholesale price
shows an increase of 44 cent each over
the retail selling price a year ago.
Roses are exceedingly good and, with
plenty to be cut, florists may rest as-
sured of securing enough stock for or-
ders. Violets are scarce, due to a lack
of sun in this part of the state. Sweet
peas are in their prime.

Every florist in this city has been
exceedingly busy the last week deco-
rating show windows and interiors of
business places throughout the city.
All the florists have done an unusually
large amount of holiday advertising,
and have met with great results. A
‘‘Decorate your store for Christmas’’
campaign, started by prominent florists,
has done much to increase Christmas
sales. Decorative wreaths attractively
made up of ruscus, boxwood, holly, etc.,
have sold well and can be seen
throughout the residence as well as the
business district. To help make Christ-
mas business more spirited, came a
heavy fall of snow for several hours,
which gave people a desire for Christ-
mas greens and plants.

Various Notes.

Harry Heinl, a well known West
Toledo grower, is supplying retail
flower shops with perfectly grown poin-
settias and azaleas. Mr. Heinl, noted
as an expert grower, has had exceed-
ingly fine results with these plants.

Some fine Glory of Cincinnati and
Chatelaine begonias are for sale at
local stores. They were grown by
Christ Winterich, of Defiance.

George Bayer reports a scarcity of
violets for Christmas, due to the cloudy
weather.

Helen F. Patten has had a fine dis-
play of bird houses and cages in her
display window and has sold many of
them. Miss Patten is a member of
the Toledo Society for the Protection
of Birds.

Schramm Bros. have had the entire
front of their store covered with south-
ern smilax and studded with ruscus.
A reddish lighting effect in their win-
dows, harmonizing with the ruscus-cov-
ered front, produced a novel Christmas
decoration.

Mrs. J. B. Freeman has had a fine
window display of artificial baskets
for Christmas. Mrs. Freeman reports
that holiday trade is excellent.

Henry Klunder, of the Lindley
Floral Co., recently established, reports
a heavy Christmas demand for arti-
ficial baskets. Mr. Klunder is an ex-
pert in this line, and hence the demand.

Krueger Bros. are packing poinsettias
and roses for shipment to all points of
the state.

Mr. Breese, aged 60 years, a land-
scape gardener for the last thirty

years, died December 18. Many flower
beds and much landscape work in
Toledo’s public parks stand as a trib-
ute to his efficiency. The funeral was
held December 21 from his residence,
1127 Prospect street.

James McLeod, a landscape gardener
for Schramm Bros., has been confined
to his bed for several weeks, due to a
severe attack of rheumatism. aie

ROCHESTER, N. Y.

The Market.

Last week’s business was good and
compared favorably with that of the
corresponding period of last year.
Everything points to a busy and pros-
perous Christmas. Quantities of good
orders are coming in and most.of the
stores are well prepared for the grand
rush. There is an exceptionally fine
display of plants in all the stores, and

' a fine lot of Christmas baskets, which

have been selling well. Poinsettias are
wonderfully good this year, as well as
ardisias, which are well berried. A
large quantity of palms and ferns is
moving satisfactorily. Many outdoor
decorations have been made in laurel
and pine roping with pleasing effects.
In cut flowers the shipments have been
a little irregular, on account of the se-
vere snow storm in the eastern part of
the state. The quantity of flowers re-
ceived is about as ustal. Trade has
been good and a large quantity of flow-
ers has been disposed of. While there
is practically no glut on the market,
there is about all the stock the trade
demands. Roses are plentiful, with a
good supply of Ophelias, Wards, Sun-
bursts, Marylands, Russells and White
Killarneys. Scott Keys are becoming
more plentiful and some good stock is
seen. American Beauties are excep-
tionally good. Carnations are arriving
more freely and the scarcity that was
looked for will probably be overcome.
Some good white, lavender and yellow
chrysanthemums still are arriving and
the retailers find them most acceptable
at this time. Violets are plentiful.
Sweet peas are good and scarce. Lilies
and valley are good and sell well. Or-
chids and eypripediums sell casily.
Paper Whites, Romans, stevias and
bouvardias complete the stock. Greens
are quite plentiful, but Asparagus
plumosts has been somewhat inferior.

Various Notes.

The monthly meeting of the Rochester
Florists’ Association was held at the
Musicians’ Headquarters, December 13.
A. H. Secker gave an interesting and
practical talk on ‘‘ Advertising for the
Retail Florist.’’ It was a timely sub-
ject, being especially appropriate at
this season of the year.

The trade regrets to hear of the ill-
ness of Mrs. E. R. Fry, who has been
confined to her home for a few weeks.
At time of writing she is improving
slowly.

Hearty congratulations are due Mr.
and Mrs. Cecil Lester, as they are the
proud parents of a fine baby boy. Both
mother and son are doing splendidly.

Handsome Christmas window dis-
plays were seen at each of the flower
stores last week. Salter Bros. had a
large quantity of white and red cycla-
mens, poinsettias and a number of
flower dishes filled with: snapdragons
and bouvardias. H. P. Neun’s display
was conspicuous. Bells of all sizes, and

many of them, hung from the pergola,
which represented a belfry. A huge
basket of artificial poppies with col-
ored electric lights gave a pleasing ap-
pearance. The H. E. Wilson window
was being attractively filled with fancy
baskets. The J. B. Keller Sons window
was one big mass of poinsettias.

The Lord & Burnham Co. is enjoying
a good business, orders as well as nu-
merous inquiries arriving daily. The
last quarter has been especially good
and is far ahead of the corresponding
months of last year.

Harry Brush has opened a store on
Central avenue, at the corner of Clinton
avenue, north, and appears to be doin
a fair business. He is disposing o
many Christmas novelties.

About the busiest place in town last
week was the wholesale house of George
B. Hart. His staff of men have been
working into the early hours of the
morning. Mr. Hart is well pleased with
the holiday trade.

The Allen Fruit Co. has been busy
making up holly wreaths. Formerly,
most of the florists made them, but the
small margin and the immense amount
of extra work led most of the retailers
to discontinue the wreath-making end
of the business. H.

RESULTS.
We give them. You get them.
We both have them.

YESTERDAY, December 22, was the
shortest day of the year, according to
the almanac, but not until after Christ-
mas will retail florists note a difference
in the length of the working day.

THE premium list for the exhibition
of the American Carnation Society at
St. Louis, January 26 and 27, has been
issued. Copies may be obtained by ad-
dressing A. F. J. Baur, secretary, In-
dianapolis, Ind.

THE tendency toward curtailment of
credits, now apparent in this trade, is a
highly hopeful sign. If the time ever
comes that custom demands payment of
all bills in thirty days it will prevent
unwise expansion, curb unfair compe-
tition and cure insomnia.

IRWIN BERTERMANN, president of the F.
T.-D., succeeded in getting a half column

interview into the Indianapolis News
December 19, telling how flowers are
delivered ‘‘by telegraph.’’ The more

generally the matter is understood the
more generally the trade’s facilities will
be used.

Ir you do a mailing trade in plants,
write to your senators and representative
in Congress to oppose House Bill 636,
which, if it becomes law, wili require
zone rates on all parcel post shipments
above four ounces. At present those up
to eight ounces go at 1 cent for each
two ounces. We don’t want to lose this
rate.

HONORABLE MENTION.

Not a few subscribers save them-
selves the bother of annual renewal by
sending The Review $2, $38, 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:

Burton, George, Philadelphia.

Butchart, George, St. Joseph, Mo.

Downs, W., Chestnut Hill, Mass,

Mueller, A. J., Carlinville, 111.

Tossy, W. E., Detroit, 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 are sent.

A SMITH MEMORIAL.

The erection of a monument to per-
petuate the memory of the late William
R. Smith, former superintendent of the
United States Botanic Garden and
sometimes known as the father of the
S. A. F., is planned by Congressman
George S. Graham, of Pennsylvania,
who has introduced H. R. bill No. 6419
in the House of Representatives, pro-
viding for an appropriation of $50,000
for this purpose. The plans for the
monument are to be made in the Treas-
ury Department and the construction of
the memorial is to be under the super-
vision of the Secretary of the Treasury.

THE OFFICE STATISTICIAN.

There are a lot of people who take
much interest in the continued growth
of The Review—they seem to look on
the paper as affording visual evidence
of the progress and standing of the
business in which its readers all are
engaged.

Know, then, that the Christmas busi-
ness of The Review, counting the first
three issues of December, broke all
records. For the three issues a total
of 412 pages was printed. To print
these three editions 30,000 pounds of
body stock was required, and 1,560
pounds of cover stock, a total of 31,560
pounds of paper, or almost sixteen
tons.

THE BIGGEST PLANT SEASON.

The Christmas season of 1915 goes on
record as the best the wholesale plants-
men ever have had. If there is any
man who looks to florists for the sale
of his blooming plants who has not sold
out this Christmas, the reason will be
found within his own establishment
and not in trade conditions. Those who
look to wholesale growers for plants to
sell at the holidays have bought flower-
ing stock more heavily than ever be-
fore and all the growers whose stock
and methods are in line with the times

have enjoyed a banner business—they
had prepared larger stocks than ever
before and have sold out as closely as
it ever is possible to do, The number
of cyclamens offered this Christmas was
something prodigious; it has been the
season’s best seller so far as the grow-
ers are concerned.

Whether or not the retail florists will
be able to sell all the stock they have
bought will depend on their individual
ability to do a big volume of business
in an extremely short time. The pub-
lic will test the trade’s facilities in
the closing days of this week.

A WORD FOR THE WISE.

Here are two interesting letters—in-
teresting, not because they are unusual
but because one is from a grower who
depends on whoiesale trade while the
other is from florists who retail most
of their stock and only have an occa-
sional surplus to sell to the trade.

The regular wholesaler advertises
only in The Review. He says:

We had such splendid results from our ads of
cyclamen that we are entirely sold out.—Davis
Floral Co., Davenport, Ia., December 16, 1915.

The man with the occasional surplus
says:

We had no answer from our ad jin another
trade journal, but one insertion in The Review

cleaned up our surplus of 500 cinerarias.—John G.
Witt & Son, Chicago, I1l., December 20, 1915.

CHICAGO.

The Market.

There has been little time on the
market during the last week for a dis-
cussion of prevailing conditions, as all
wholesale houses doing a shipping busi-
ness have had their hands more than
full with out-of-town orders. In bold
contrast to last year’s Christmas sea-
son, the supply in any one line is not
more than sufficient to meet the de-
mand. Mail and telegraph orders are
arriving in constantly increasing num-
bers, and an interesting feature in this
connection is that not a few of them are
from eastern points. The fact that
there is no oversupply of stock, and
that instead of eastern growers ship-
ping to this market, as they did last
year, the contrary is true has resulted
in a generally stiff market. It remains
to be seen what the local demand will
be, for, as usual, local buyers are hold-
ing aloof until the bulk of the ship-
ping orders are on their way.

Really good Beauties are scarce and
are accordingly at a premium, but there
is a quantity of poor stock, altogether
unfit for critical Christmas trade. Other
roses are by far the longest item on the
market. Most of the local growers
timed their rose crops to come in for
the Christmas trade, and as a result the
daily receipts of roses are increasingly
large. This does not mean, however,
that anything in the shape of a glut
is threatened, for, on the other hand,
there is every indication that the de-
mand will be fully ample to take care
of all receipts. This view of the mat-
ter is strengthened by the correspond-
ing shortness in some other lines. Red
roses, and in their default the other
colored varieties, are always popular at
this season, and when carnations are
searce it is not a difficult thing to per-
suade a buyer to take more roses.
Ophelia, because of its dainty appear-
ance, is enjoying a particularly brisk
demand, and so, too, is Cecile Brunner.

It has become quite the usual thing

during the last week with many of the
wholesalers to decline orders for carna-
tions. Others, however, who feel in
duty bound to supply out-of-town
patrons, make every possible effort to
satisfy, at least in part, the demands
of their customers. This is not always
possible, for almost anything in| the
shape of a carnation is snapped up at
an unusually high figure, and even at
that cannot be had in any quantity. As
for red carnations, he may be consid-
ered fortunate indeed who can secure
them at even a fancy price. Violets,
both double and single, are on the short
side. Paper Whites and Romans have
been clearing regularly. Of pansies,
there are fully enough to satisfy a more
or less desultory demand. The supply
of orchids is insufficient to meet an
unusually strong demand. Valley, al-
ways on the opposite side of the fence,
is plentiful enough to take care of all
orders. Sweet peas, on the other hand,
are scarce. Stevia, mignonette and
daisies find their place in a fair propor-
tion of orders. Easter lilies do not
figure in the holiday demand to any
considerable extent. As a matter of
course, poinsettias make an appeal at
this season of the year that few buy-
ers can resist.

The flower market is doing all it can
to perpetuate the time-honored associa-
tion of green goods and Christmas.
Holly, mistletoe and boxwded are on
every hand, and winter berries, though
none too plentiful, add their luster to
the general effect. Sprengeri, plumosus
and smilax move well in spite of the
large quantities of purely holiday
greens.

useful in basket work but not suffi-
ciently striking to attract the atten-
tion of the non-professional buyer. On
the whole the stock is of excellent qual-
ity but not new.

There is no bulk green, but the de-
mand has subsided. Holly is reason-
ably plentiful and averages of unex-
pectedly good quality, considering early
reports of lack of berries. Boxwood
seems to be in less demand than in
other years.

The value of two boilers was well
jllustrated December 19 at the Elm-
hurst establishment of Meyer & Dramm
Co. The boiler that was carrying the
load blew out- the connection that is
used for cleaning scale, etc., with the
result that the steam and water were
emptied into the boiler-room so quick-
ly that the fireman did not wait to
try for the door but jumped through
the window. Two dogs were not so
successful and were scalded to death.
As soon as the discharge was over the
spare boiler was brought into use and
there was no loss whatever. But the
temperature outdoors was about 15 de-

saved the stock.

Before the week is over, 15,000 Beau-
ties will have passed through the
Wietor store, according to N. J. Wietor,
who counts it the most successful
Christmas crop in the history of the
firm. Most of the stems are long.

W. M. Tiplady, formerly in charge
of the Elmendorf Greenhouses at Lex-
ington, Ky., is assisting at C. A. Sam-
uelson’s during the Christmas rush.

One of the faults of the Sunburst
rose, according to Emil Buettner, is
the pithy character of the neck at this
season of the year; not sufficient wood
in the stem to keep it from snapping
off if handled a little carelessly by
wholesaler, retailer or customer—of
course the grower always is careful.

The telephone facilities at Peter
Reinberg’s city store have been dou-
bled by the installation of another line
and two stations.

Christmas is proving especially diffi-
cult this year, for the E. Wienhoeber
Co., because of the fact that business
has been so heavy there was no time
for special preparation for the rush.
December from the start has been de-
cidedly better than last year and
Christmas is all in the day’s work this
week.

A double store at 55 and 57 East
Lake street has been an invaluable as-
sistance in handling Christmas greens
for the E. F. Winterson Co. Mr. Win-
terson says he personally never has had
a busier fortnight than the last one.

The store at 1155 North State street,
opened last summer by the Jegen Floral
Co., the same interests long on Dear-
born and Washington streets, now is
doing a fair business in spite of the
proximity of the Wienhoeber store, with
its reputation for excellent stock, per-
fect service and moderate prices, a
combination against which more than
one man has found it difficult to com-
pete.

The first jonquils made their appear-
ance December 19, reports John Michel-
sen, of the E. C. Amling Co., who also
comments on the excellent sale for
Paper Whites, Easter lilies, callas and
other white stock last week.

It has been an excellent Christmas
for Frank Oechslin. His cyclamens
never were better and they sold clean.
Poinsettias for basket work also were
in good shape and in brisk demand.
Not many azaleas were in flower, but
these also sold readily. About every-
thing of a Christmas character was
sold and delivered early this week.

It is reported that Wendland &

approximately 60,000 roses this week.

George C. W eiland, a director of the
Chicago Flower Growers’ Association,
will replant all of his roses next year.
The greatest amount of space will be
devoted to Russell, the next, to Ophelia.
This is a sufficient commentary on his
opinion of these two new varieties. For
red he will plant Milady. Richmond he
will always have. Cecile Brunner will
also receive a fair proportion of space.
As for Hoosier Beauty and Hadley,
they have no place in his favor. Kil-

jections. It is spun in a solid sheet out
of brass or copper, with a small stop-
cock at the bottom, and is suspended
by three brass chains. The wire hang-
ing basket is to be placed in this metal
bowl, thus permitting a free circulation
of air without subjecting the plant
to the drying effect of a breeze. It
can be watered without removal and
the surplus water may be drained by
means of the stopcock. The metal bowl
is in itself quite ornamental. Mr.
Gloede has also a model placed on a
low tripod, which permits the bowl to
be tilted at any angle. This is to con-

tain azalea or other pot plants for dis-
play purposes.

In spite of a strong determination to
keep going and the constant press of
business, Miss Agatha Greeley, of the
John Kruchten Co., was compelled to
yield to a severe attack of grip, De-
cember 20, and go home. It is hoped
she will be in her accustomed place

The Market.

We do not want to know much about
the market just before Christmas—it
is the market at Christmas that holds
our attention. Still, in order to under-
stand things when they happen, it is
necessary to follow each change as it
occurs. The changes have been quite
marked; some extraordinarily bad
weather cut down the supply to an ex-
tent that kept flowers from accumulat-
ing in spite of the light business. The
improvement in the weather came too
late to overload the market during the
dullness so.apt to precede the holidays.
Many flowers are bringing close to holi-
day prices even during this period of
light demand, notably carnations. The
shortage of lower-priced roses con-
tinues; with it there is a strong de-

dings, but, alas, more due to sadder

events increased by the bad weather.
Gardenias have been particularly
scarce; we are told of crop failures as
the explanation: There still are a few
fairly respectable chrysanthemums,
mostly Nonin and Eaton and Jones.
Sweet peas are more in evidence and
of improved quality. The loss of some
boxwood in transit is severely felt.
The flowering Christmas plants have
met with a remarkable support, indi-
cations pointing to larger sales than
those of any other season; this prob-
ably is due to their fine quality.

A charming visitor arrived in town
on the day after the Florists’ Club
meeting. ‘‘A Peach From Peachville,’’
the boys would say, as a tribute to the
lovely pink and white complexion, the
tasteful garb and the erect carriage
of the visitor. Her name was Mrs.
Bayard Thayer, and she came all the
way from Natick, Mass., where she has
been staying with Alexander the Great

of our distinguished rosarians of an im-
promptu character at the S. S. Pen-

The general opinion seems to be that
the visitor was a winner, but, then, you
know that these rose men are so cau-
tious lest they may make a mistake,
which some unkind friend will remind
them of afterwards, that it is rather
hard to get an expression of unquali-
fied approval, even for the angel
Gabriel himself.

Harry W. Jones smilingly predicts
the best Christmas of four or five years,
a view that is shared by George Aeugle.

The Henry A. Dreer greenhouses at
Riverton and the new stable are built
of building tile, concrete covered. This
construction makes a dry wall, strong,
durable and inexpensive.

LANCASTER, PA.

Club Meeting and Trip to Lititz.

The Lancaster County Florists’ Club
held its annual banquet in Brenneman
hall, December 16. The banquet proved
to be one of the most delightful af-
fairs in the history of the club. More
than thirty members attended the
feast.

After cigars were lighted President
B. F. Barr reviewed the club’s work
during the year. H. A. Schroyer, D. T.
Connor and E. J. McCallum, the last-
mentioned of Pittsburgh, addressed the
members. D. T. Connor and T. J.
Nolan were appointed to captain the
bowling teams for the evening. L. S.
Landis’ strikes and F. L. Kohr’s
curved balls were features of the eve-
ning. W. B. Girvin, of Leola, won the
garden rake for high score. Alphonse
Peters, Edward Hardy and E. Beck
furnished the music. A number of the
members indulged in 500, while others
tried billiards.

A short business session was held
prior to the banquet, when officers for
1916 were nominated. The result of the
balloting was as follows: President,
H. A. Schroyer; vice-president, Elmer
J. Weaver; secretary, Frank L. Kohr;
treasurer, H. K. Rohrer. The nominees
will be elected at the January meeting.
The committee in charge of the ban:
quet consisted of Frank L. Kohr, David
¥F. Rose and John R. Shriner.

On the afternoon of December 16,
at 1 o’clock, a party of florists visited
their brethren at Lititz, Pa. Fred
Spinner was the first to be called upon.
He grows Gorgeous and Comfort car-
nations, which look well. He had a
fine crop of mums, the space of which
now is planted to sweet peas and let-
tuce. He grows large quantities of
vegetable plants in season.

At the C. 8. Loeffler establishment
the visitors saw some fine orchid-flow-
ering sweet peas, snapdragons, calen-
dulas, delphiniums and primulas. In
carnations, Mr. Loeffler grows Match-
less, Enchantress, Mrs. Ward and
Champion. He has four houses, each
35x150. Mr. Loeffler surprised the vis-
itors with a treat in the beiler shed,
which treat consisted of Lititz pretzels,
delicious apples and fudge, made from
the famous Lititz chocolate.

The next call was at the range of
Enos W. Kohr, on the Lititz turnpike,
near Lancaster. Mr. Kohr planted
most of his carnations directly in the
beds in June and they look fine, with
promise of a nice cut for Christmas.
Mrs. Ward and Matchless leave little
to be desired in their respective col-
ors, as grown here. Gorgeous also is
grown and it was interesting to note
that the variety comes more true to
color than it did last season. White
Perfection does remarkably well and
will be grown another season. A bench
of Alice is being tried and looks well.
About 45,000 Paper White narcissi
were in exceptionally good shape. Mr.
Kohr has his establishment equipped
with a wireless telegraph apparatus and
is right up to the minute in all he
does.

The next meeting of the club will be
held January 20, in the Chamber of
Commerce rooms.

Various Notes.

E. J. McCallum, of the McCallum Co.,
Pittsburgh, visited a number of the
fiorists last week.

HIS little card is written to wish you a Merry Christmas
and a Prosperous and Happy New Year. It is also writ-
ten to thank you for the liberal orders that have helped

to give us such a splendid Christmas.

If you did not

send the orders—why, the good wishes are yours anyhow; we
know that you will want the Craig Quality stock some day, and
when you once get it you will always want it.

The Market.

Business was quiet last week, due
to the fact that three out of the six
working days were stormy; walking
was decidedly unpleasant. The retail-
ers, therefore, will have to do all their
Christmas selling this week, and most
of them have prepared for a big trade.
With several days of pleasant weather
before Christmas, they expect to do a
fine business. .

On account of the cloudy weather,
carnations have been unusually slow
in opening. While nearby growers have
thousands of carnation buds nearly
open, the flowers are developing so
slowly that only a small part of them
will be available for Christmas trade.
Carnations have been selling at from
$6 to $8 per hundred in the wholesale

market. Many complaints are heard
concerning the poor quality of the
flowers. Last year there was a glut of
Paper Whites and many of the growers
sustained such heavy losses that this
year they either did not plant Paper
Whites at all or planted greatly re-
duced quantities of them. A few, fore-
casting this situation, planted more
than last year and now are reaping a
harvest, for there is a great demand

gen street, near Clinton avenue, who
was obliged to move because of the
wrecking of the building in which he
had his store, now is located at 480
Clinton avenue, about two minutes’
walk from his former location. He has
erected greenhouses at the rear of the

The Market.

Business last week was good and,
according to some of the larger deal-
ers, the months of November and De-
cember will greatly exceed those of
last year. There is no overstock in any
line and all varieties of flowers clean
up well each day. There is a shortage
of carnations, the crop in this locality
being backward, and these now are
bringing $5 per hundred and for the
Christmas trade this price will be
doubled.

The price on white roses now is more
normal. The great scarcity of two
weeks ago has been overcome and the
grade which at that time brought $6
per hundred can be had at $3. The
prevailing prices will be doubled by
the end of this week. The locally
grown American Beauty roses have
not the full-sized flowers of the north-
ern production and seem to send all
of their value into stems and foliage.
While the former are bringing only
from $1 to $3 per dozen, the latter type
sell readily at $5. The Richmond roses
now to be had are as fine in quality as
have ever been seen in this market.
There is a lively demand for these, at
an average of $15 per hundred, and
there is a possibility that there will
not be enough to go around, despite
the fact that Richmonds with some of
the local growers are right on crop.
This flower takes the lead over all
others in Christmas sales and it is ex-
pected that the price will soar to $30
and more per hundred for the best.

There has been a heavy demand for
cattleyas at $6 and $9 per dozen; van-
das are bringing $6. Valley is excep-
tionally fine, but no variation in price
is noted. There will be plenty of

Easter and rubrum lilies offered at $15

to the retailers to make all purchases
and place all orders for stock early if
they desire to eliminate possibilities of
disappointment. With the amount of
supply and the strength of the demand
for some of the varieties, it is said that
there will not be enough of these to fill
all orders. This will be particularly
true of orchids, valley, Richmond and
other red roses, and carnations.

President’s Wedding Decorations.

The wedding of President Wilson
and Mrs. Galt was a decided disappoint-
ment to the local florists from a com-
mercial standpoint, as the quantity of
flowers sold on this occasion was small.
Some time prior to the ceremony, the
President and Mrs. Galt let it be known
that it was not their desire that gifts
of flowers or of more lasting remem-
brances be sent them, and aside from a
basket or two of roses or orchids, the
orders placed with the stores were not
worthy of mention.

The decorations at the home of the
bride were by J. H. Small & Sons, or-
chids being used in profusion. For the
wedding, the salon parlor and the din-
ing room, which adjoins, were thrown
into one. The wedding bower, which
was set off by a background of Far-
leyense and maidenhair ferns, extend-
ing from the floor to the ceiling, was
located in a bay window at the back
of the latter room. Overhead, in the
bower, there was arranged a canopy of
green in the form of a shell with the
inner side of Scotch heather in full
flower. In the center of the back-
ground was a mirror framed with cat-

tleyas. Across the top of the mirror
and in the corners of the canopy were
sprays of orchids. The varieties of
orchids used in this decoration were
Cattleya Triane, Dendrobium Phale-
nopsis, Vanda cerulea and Lelia an-
ceps alba. At both sides of the canopy
were standards of American Beauty
roses, the bottom of the standards be-
ing masked with cibotiums.

A prie-dieu, used upon several occa-
sions at the White House, on which the
President and his bride knelt, was or-
namented at either side with clusters
of orchids and placed before the bower
and canopy. Opposite to the wedding
bower, in the far end of the salon, the
mantel was decorated with Farleyense
and orchids. <A large mirror in the
entrance hall was banked with ferns
and twined about with Asparagus plu-
mosus, in which were intermingled
large American Beauty roses.

The general decorations of the dining
room were carried out in pink. At one
end of the room was a mass of ferns
and clusters of pink roses. Growing
ferns and pink roses were on the buf-
fets,.while the table on which the wed-
ding feast was spread was decorated
with Lady Stanley roses and ferns.
The wedding cake was ornamented with
orchids. The stairway in the entrance
hall and the newel post were decorated
with ferns, vines and American Beauty
roses. ;

Aside from furnishing a portion of
the greens used in the decorations, the
several departments of the government
devoted to the production of plants
and flowers had nothing to do with
the work, despite the fact that it was
said in the local press that the whole
was accomplished under the supervi-
sion of one of these.

however, it is clear and cool, and with
a few days of sunshine the cut of roses
and earnations will be quite good.

Funeral work has been brisk of late.
Christmas orders are coming in and in-
dicate a splendid holiday business.
Bulbous stock, azaleas, begonias, poin-
settias, etc., are in heavy supply and
of good quality.

Various Notes.

The Evansville Florists’ Club held
a meeting December 15. All present
enjoyed themselves immensely. It was
an extremely wet night, which kept a
few away, but those that attended cer-
tainly did not regret their wet journey
to the meeting. President Halbrooks
was sick and could not attend. As
Vice-president Zeidler was absent be-
cause of the weather, Emil Niednagel
was made chairman for the evening.
After the business meeting an excellent
lunch was served. The next meeting
will be held at the C. L. Niednagel
place January 12.

Karl Zeidler has a fine lot of azaleas
in excellent shape for Christmas sales.

James Blackburn, of Mount Vernon,
Ind., was in town December 20, buying
plants for his Christmas trade.

The Blackman Floral Co. anticipates
a good holiday business and has a fine
lot of Christmas plants. Bi: dis.

ST. LOUIS.

The Market.

The wholesale cut flower market was
in a fairly good condition last week.
There was no abundance of stock like
that of last year and, unless we have
sunshine this week, great scarcity of
stock is predicted for Christmas. I am
advised that all carnation growers are
off crop and the stock that came in
last week showed this plainly. The
prices of these flowers are sky-high, as
4 cents is asked for anything that looks
like a carnation and 10 cents is wanted
for the extra fancy flowers.

Roses have been fairly plentiful and
these promise to help out for Christmas.
This stock, too, is rather high in price.
Specials in Richmond, Hadley and Mi-
lady will go to $15 and perhaps to
$20 per hundred; Russell as high as $35
per hundred. Beauties are scarce and
will run from $9 to $12-per dozen for
long, fancy stock. The wholesalers say
they expect quite a lot of other stock.
Valley is extra fine. Violets are up in

price and are not any too plentiful.
In stevia, Paper Whites and sweet
peas, a large supply is expected at little
advance in price. It is said the supply
all depends upon the weather. Every-
thing in greens will be in as large sup-
ply as usual.

The retailers say it surely will be a
big plant Christmas, for the cut stock
is too high and all the leading stores
will be pushing plants.

Various Notes.

The French relief bazaar at Dream-
land last week was a great success
The flower booth, presided over by
Mrs. Jules Bourdet, was beautifully
decorated with plants and cut flowers
At the top of the booth two large flags,
the American and the French, were
worked out in flowers. The sale of
cut flowers and plants was large. All
were donated by the local trade.

Vandervoort’s flower department, of
which David Geddis has charge, had a
big business week. Mr. Geddis says an
extra force is on this week, as advance
orders indicate that the rush at Christ-
mas will be great.

George H. Angermueller’s foree in
the supply department had to work
overtime all of last week. December
15 marked the biggest day; 108 boxes
of supplies were sent by express to flo-
rists in the southwest. Local demand,
too, has been large.

The next meeting of the officers of
the St. Louis Florists’ Club will take
place at the home of Vice-President
Wells, 4258 Flag avenue, January 6, at
8 o’clock, when plans will be made for
an interesting meeting of the club
January 13.

Marion Uhlschmidt, manager for the
east side branch of Grimm & Gorly,
says they had a busy week with an
unusual quantity of funeral work. No
store along Collinsville avenue is more
attractive than this one since Mr.
Uhlschmidt has put up his Christmas
display.

The W. C. Smith Wholesale Floral

Co. last week marketed a fine lot of

and A. 8. Cerny, all of St. Louis county.
This stock in all varieties is of extra
fine quality.

The Kalisch Bros. Floral Co., at
Delmar and Taylor avenues, is show-
ing a magnificent lot of blooming
plants in the big show house. John
Boerm, a neighbor, also has a splendid
Christmas show. Both concerns expect
a large run of trade for the holidays
and both are pushing plants.

The St. Louis Seed Co. has a grand
display of Christmas novelties at its
Washington avenue store. Holly and
Christmas greens are in big demand.

Ostertag Bros. opened their annex
last week, next door to their store at
the corner, in which everything can
be had in the line of Christmas deco-
rations. Henry Ostertag, head of this
concern, says business never was bet-
ter than at present.

Max Pelletier, H. Schaad, W. H.
Kruse, Max Herzog and A. Meyer,
south end florists, were busy last week
preparing for the holidays, and, from
advance orders, they expect a big rush
of business this week.

The Sanders Nursery store, on Clara
avenue, of which Oliver K. Sanders has
charge, reports heavy advance orders
for plants. The big show room in the
rear is ablaze with fine Christmas plants
of every description.

A big fire in commission row on the
morning of December 18 destroyed
quantities of holly, green roping,
wreaths and Christmas trees. The fire
started in the wreath house of the
Corcoran Produce Co., 805 North Third

street. The damage is estimated at
$2,000. Other commission houses close
by suffered considerable damage.

Business during the week ending De-
cember 18 was quiet. Cut flower ar-
rivals were comparatively light, but
ample for the demand. Wholesalers
and retailers have been busy preparing
wreaths, festoons, baskets, ete., of
evergreens, berries, ruscus, artificial
poinsettias, etc., for which the demand
this Christmas seems likely to be the
greatest on record. Laurel wreathing

is meeting with an immense sale, while
holly and other greenery are selling re-
markably well. Plants are more of a
feature than ever and, as a conse-
quence, cut flowers have not yet come
into their own.

Among flowering plants, poinsettias
sell better than those of a year ago.
Others in heavy demand are begonias,
cyclamens, azaleas, ericas, Otaheite
oranges, ardisias, crotons and nephrol-
epis. Mixtures of foliage and flower-
ing plants in large pans, baskets and
other receptacles are selling well.

American Beauties are abundant and
have been somewhat weak in price, but
are firmer at present. Among other
roses the leaders in popularity are
Hadley, Richmond, Scott Key, Russell,
Shawyer, Ophelia, Killarney Queen and
Sunburst. The last named is seen in
greater numbers here than ever before.
All roses, including Killarney and
White Killarney, show a good advance;
reds, as usual, sell best; then pinks,
and, lastly, whites. Carnations are
holding their heads up and promise to
become quite strong toward the last
of the week. They are not in heavy
crop with most of the growers. Vio-
lets have practically doubled in price;
so have yellow marguerites.

Quite a few chrysanthemums, such
as Bonnaffon, Jeanne Nonin, Maceo,
Chadwick and Maud Dean, have been
on sale, but the present week should
see their finish. Some nice Freesia
Purity is coming from one or two grow-
ers; also small lots of yellow daffodils.
There is an ample supply of valley of
fine quality. Few gardenias are seen.
Cattleyas sell at high prices, Per-
civaliana making $5 and Triane $9 to
$12 per dozen. There is an improved
demand for asparagus and ferns.

Penn’s Store Opening.

What is undoubtedly the finest and
most up-to-date flower store in Boston
threw open its doors for business De-
cember 18, when Penn’s new store at
124 Tremont street was visited by
crowds of people in spite of the
driving rainstorm that persisted the en-
tire day. The opinions of many well
qualified to speak was that it is the
finest flower store in America, with its
beautiful and expansive show windows,
while the tiled floors, mirrors, sculpture,
fountains, ceilings, etc., are in perfect
taste. The Johns-Manville refrigerat-
ing machine on the lower floor is a
decided innovation.

several vases of Sunburst roses and

window produced a fine tropical effect,

and dotted with cattleyas and other
orchids. There were many handsome

Club Meeting.

Although coming so near Christmas,
when nearly everyone connected with
the business is rushed to the limit, there
still was an attendance of 120 at the
club meeting December 21. Officers
for 1916 were elected as follows: Pres-
ident, James Methven; vice-president,
William J. Patterson; treasurer, Peter
Fisher; secretary, W. N. Craig; execu-
tive committee, W. J. Kennedy, H. H.
Bartsch, W. C. Rust, P. M. Miller and
A. K. Rogers.

There was no contest except between
the eight candidates for the executive
board. Four new members were ad-
mitted to the club. It was reported
that the landscape class was holding
weekly meetings. A report on the re-
cent convention of the National Asso-
ciation of Gardeners was made. The
executive committee reported that there
would be a public installation of offi-
cers and ladies’ night January 18, while
the annual banquet of the club would
be held at the New American House
February 9.

A committee consisting of D. Finlay-
son, R. Cameron and W. N. Craig was
appointed to draw up resolutions on
the death of W. Atlee Burpee. There
was some discussion on the National
Flower Show, to be held in Philadel-
phia. A good-sized Boston representa-
tion seems assured. There was an in-

HENRY R. COMLEY, Florist, 6 Park St.
‘60 years’ experience in the florist business guarantees
<fhleacy to take care of all orders. 20 per cent allowed

teresting discussion on the opportuni-
ties for advancement for young gar-
deners in America.

The exhibits for the evening were a
splendid group of Moschosma Riparium
by James Methven, which was given
a cultural report of merit; a large col-
lection of plants by the W. W. Edgar
Co., of Waverley; Miss Theo carnation,
by Littlefield & Wyman, of North Ab-
ington; solanums, by William Watson;
a new seedling rose, Tausendschon. x
Ethel Malcolm, by J. Dawson, received
honorable mention.

Various Notes.

William H. Elliott is strong this sea-
son on. the single Irish roses. He
a dg chiefly Old Gold, Irish Beauty,

ish Harmony and Glory. In the way
of polyanthas, Mlle, Cecile Brunner
sells much better than the yellow
Elger. Among the larger types,
Ophelia and Sunburst are fine, as are
Hadley, Killarney Queen and Christie-
Miller.

William Hannan & Son, of Dorchester,
had 8,000 Christmas plants, chiefly
azaleas, Cincinnati begonias and
solanums, and hardly a plant was left
December 18.

Charles Roberts, formerly with.P. R.
Quinlan & Co., Syracuse, N. Y., is now
employed by the Boston Cut Flower Co.
Business here is brisk this week, sev-
eral large decorations in addition to
the store trade keeping the staff busy.

The Budlong Rose Co. has had a
heavy crop of My Maryland recently,
receiving an average of 2,000 flowers
of fine quality daily. They have heavy
crops of Hadley, Ophelia, Russell, Scott
Key, Milady, Stanley, Sunburst and
Shawyer for the holidays.

William J. Patterson, of Wollaston,
is bringing in the earliest Trumpet
major narcissi, in addition to Roman
hyacinths, stevias and Paper Whites.

R. T. McGorum, of Natick, still has
a fine lot of Bonnaffon mums for
Christmas. His roses are looking ex-
tremely well. The principal varieties
grown are Ophelia, Killarney, White

A. A. Pembroke, of North Beverly,
has a fine lot of long-stemmed pink
and white sweet peas. His carnations,
always of grand quality, seem better
than ever this season. The following
are fine: Champion, Lady Northcliffe,
which is well liked; Pink Delight,
Benora, Matchless, White Enchantress,
Rosette, Alice and Gorgeous.

R. & J. Farquhar & Co., at the
Dedham nurseries, have a fine batch of
Erlangea tomentosa with heads of
heliotrope-like, lavender-blue flowers.
This plant belongs to the composite
family, is of a habit similar to the
eupatoriums and requires similar treat-
ment. It should be a welcome addition
to our winter-flowering plants.

H. W. Vose, of Hyde Park, has a
splendid cut of Bonnaffon, Maceo and
other mums for Christmas, in addition
to good cuts of bulbous flowers and
stevias.

The Mann Co. received a fine ship-
ment of beautifully berried hollies
from Europe December 17 on the Nieuw
Amsterdam. The plants were only nine
days in transit and arrived in perfect
condition. Several plants of the gold-
en-fruited holly were included.

F. W. Holbrow, of Dorchester, has
the best Jeanne Nonin and Bonnaffon
mums for Christmas to be seen locally.

@ Retail Florists
Flowers for All ana from Cradle to Grave

the Sutermeister estate, of Readville,
were the first to bring in Freesia Pur-
ity. Early shipments have realized as
high as $12.50 per hundred stalks.

At Carbone’s, fine vases of pale blue
English iris, grown by Frank P.
Putnam, of North Tewksbury, have
been something of a novelty. Plants of
Spirea Queen Alexandra are well flow-
ered and there are many other novel-
ties at this always attractive store.

William Capstick, of Auburndale, is
one of the few trade growers with a
good batch of Strelitzia regina. His
specialties are Asparagus plumosus
nanus and Sprengeri.

The force of Welch Bros. Co. is on
the jump this week to keep pace with
the orders coming in. Roses are extra
fine and no shortage of flowers is an-
ticipated.

Albert Roper’s seedling carnations
are all doing remarkably well and some
of them will be heard of at the next
carnation convention. Extra fine just
now are Commonwealth and Grace, each
flesh pink; Alice Coombs, rose pink, and
a pure and heavily fringed white of
fine substance.

The Fruit Hill Greenhouses, of
Providence, are sending quantities of
fine Spencer sweet peas to W. H. Carr.

S. J. Goddard has recovered from an
attack of the grip. He is enthusiastic
over the next carnation convention and
indications are that Boston and vicinity
will be well represented there. -

A. N. Eaton, of South Sudbury, is
having excellent success with his car-
nations this season. His best varieties
are Pink Delight, Matchless, Alice,
Beacon, Benora, Mrs. Ward, White En-
chantress and Fenn.

A. F. Coolidge has a fine: lot of Be-
gonia Gloire de Chatelaine for Christ-
mas. This is a splendid keeping be-
gonia, always in bloom. W.N.

SASABDASAS:

SEATTLE, WASH.

The Market.

Business was brisk last week and in-
dications pointed to a much better
Christmas trade than has been the case
in any of the recent years. For one
thing, stock is not too abundant, so
that prices should be advanced accord-
ingly. Chrysanthemums are not plen-
tiful and it seems likely there will be
a few good ones left at Christmas, these
being principally Maud Dean, which is
a good keeper in this district. Carna-
tions are scarce and good prices will
prevail from now on. The same may
be said of roses, for which there always
is a large demand at Christmas. There
is a good supply of violets coming from
California, but some locally grown vio-
lets were seen last week.

Poinsettias are hardly as plentiful
as last year, but their quality is ex-
cellent and they are likely to be closed
out early. Some giganteums and speci-
osums from cold storage were used in
displays. Cyclamens are good and ex-
perience a ready sale. Of other flow-
ering plants there is a scarcity. The
retailers are busy preparing for a good
holiday trade. There is the usual quan-
tity of Christmas greens, etc.

Various Notes.

Miss Schnapp, who had to return
from the east because of the indisposi-
tion of her mother, who has happily re-
covered, now is assisting in the Holly-
wood Gardens store.

A visit to the university district last
week showed the stores in that locality
brightly decorated and they compared
favorably with the downtown shops.

The weather is mild and open and
good roses still are to be seen bloom-
ing outdoors. T. W

LOS ANGELES.

The Market.

At the time of writing, the prospects
for Christmas do not look any too rosy.
The principal retailers say that their
inquiries do not compare well with
those of equal date last year. Stock
will be plentiful, according to present
appearances, especially in cut flowers.
The failure of many of the azaleas to
make the market has led to a larger de-
mand for cyclamens and other pot
plants. Good, deep -red carnations,
Beauty roses and lily of the valley look
like being on the scarce side, but other
roses and carnations will probably be
up to the demand. One of the finest
roses here for Christmas is Hadley, of
which some splendid flowers are shown,
while a few Crimson Queen in one of
the principal retailers’ windows caused
considerable comment. Good English
holly is scarce so far, though heavy
shipments are said to be coming.

Various Notes.

In February of the coming year the
Redondo Floral Co. will move from its
old location, at Third and Spring
streets, to the Lankershein building, at
218 West Seventh street. Business is

—_——— TT

rapidly going south and it is thought
by Messrs. Borden and Knopf that al-
though the store has been a landmark
for years, yet their old trade will fol-
low them and there will be a much
larger transient business at the new
place. The Redondo Flower Shop was
probably the pioneer of the Los An-
geles retailers and was originated by
one of the big railway interests here,
to find a market for the flowers grown
at the old Redondo carnation gardens,
which have been out of existence for
several years. F. Borden at one time
ran these gardens, and then, after run-
ning his own business, at Third street
and Hollywood, for a good many years,
he went into partnership with Albert
Knopf, who was then proprietor of
the Redondo. As prophesied in this
column, the partnership has turned out
to be a great success and it is per-
fectly safe to prophesy still greater suc-
cess for these two thoroughly straight-
forward business men. The good wishes
of everyone will be with them. PF. Bor-
den, unfortunately, just now is down
with a severe case of grip.

Geo. W. Smith reports excellent busi-
ness at the Figueroa street store, with
plentiful inquiries for Christmas stock.

He is also busy in the landscape end
and does a great deal in what he terms
‘‘perpetual care’’ of places which he
plants. For a moderate charge, he
sends men at regular intervals to do
everything necessary in the places he
plants, thus insuring a constantly at-
tractive appearance and incidentally
keeping out the inexperienced and al-
ways harmful tramp gardener.

Poinsettias are arriving in fine shape
from A. Ecke, of Puente. He has the
extra large-flowered, highly colored
type so popular among the best florists.
He is supplying them to many of the
leading wholesalers and retailers, and
announces the fact that he will have
them until some time after Christmas.

Wallace Boyd, who was formerly
with O. C. Saakes, but for some time
has been in Honolulu, has returned to
Los Angeles. He is helping out at
Darling’s Flower Shop.

The L. A. Floral Co. is doing every-
thing possible to make shipping to long-
distance points a success, and is using
the refrigerator express car service re-
cently put on by the Salt Lake road for
eastern shipments.

A pleasant time was spent at the first

chair. About twenty sat down to an
elegant dinner at the Bristol cafe, after
which many points of interest to the
trade were brought up. J. Meriweather,
manager for Roeding & Wood, gave
some interesting data on shipping and
freight rates. Fred Howard made some
timely remarks on the assessment of
nursery stock. F. Warner, of South
Pasadena; T. D. Robertson, of Fuller-

interest to say and the chairman called
for adjournment about 10:30.

As usual at this time of year, the
writer is getting a large number of
letters from men who want to come to
California to work. The labor market
is overstocked here now and men who
are holding down good positions will
be wise to secure something certain

SAN FRANCISCO.

The Market.

Cut flowers have been scarce. Last
week opened with a heavy storm, fol-
lowed by a touch of frost; the effect
of this was intensified by the disposi-
tion to hold back stock for the Christ-
mas market. Retail business was a
trifle quiet until the last cf the week,
but some good funeral orders, gradua-
tion bouquet work, etc., have caused
quite a firm feeling. The Christmas
trade acceleration could be felt in cut
flowers as well as in plants. The ship-
ping business is extremely heavy in
violets, baby roses and greens. The
mums are not in good shipping condi-
tion, besides being rather scarce; with
fair weather, however, a good cut is
predicted for Christmas. Wells’ Late
Pink is about gone and there are only
a few Bonnaffons. Winter Cheer, O.

the most prominent varieties. The car-
nation supply is light and prices on
regular market stock have been boosted
in all grades. Violets temporarily were
a little scarce, but are coming out
again, and their condition could hardly
be better. Orders for Christmas sur-
pass all records.

The rose cut is light, but of good
quality, and everything cleans up close-
ly. Ophelia is in demand. Russell is
fine and brings good prices. Hadley
roses are popular, but seem hardly as
good as those of a few weeks ago.
Local conditions do not encourage heavy
rose shipments at present. Freesias
are a little slow, but the stock of Paper
Whites is fair for this season. More
Easter lilies are offered and there is
enough valley. There is a fine cut of
orchids, including several varieties of

cattleyas and cypripediums. Gardenias
are excellent and move in considerable
quantity.

Attention is turning more strongly
to plants and there now is some anxiety
over a possible shortage. Some large
local plantings of poinsettias are said
to be turning out badly and it is not
likely that any great quantity of aza-
leas can be brought out in time; some
fear that there will not be enough other
stock to meet the shortage. There was
no large showing of cyclamens last
week, though plenty are expected this
week. Primulas are in strong demand.
Begonias sell nicely and peppers are
moving well. A few fine lots of Eng-
lish holly and mistletoe arrived last
week and an abundance of holly is
offered, but the trade is cautious in
placing orders unless the quality is
assured.

Horticultural Society Smoker.

The Pacific Coast Horticultural So-
ciety held an interesting meeting on
the evening of December 11, followed
by a jolly smoker, and, while there were
hardly so many members present as
had been expected, in view of the fes-
tivities, a fair crowd came out and
made up in enthusiasm what it lacked
in numbers.

Once more an important feature of
the meeting was the admission of new
members, Fred Howard, H. Kruckeberg,
John Young, Henry W. Turner, Wil-
liam Hertrich and F. Burns, proposed
at the previous meeting, being ad-
mitted, and the rules were suspended to
admit a number proposed at this meet-
ing. The latter were: George Webster,
of San Mateo; Max Horn, M. Susko,
John Patterson and F. Staples, with
the MacRorie-McLaren Co.; William
Scott, of Beresford; Peter Rock and F.
Hammerstrom, of Golden Gate park;
E. Schwerin and N. Baldocchi, of San
Francisco; A. Laing and Gus Sturm, of
San Mateo. ‘‘Progress’’ was the re-
port of most of the committees called
upon, but something of interest is ex-
pected before long, particularly from
the committee on affiliation with the
8. A. F.

The exhibits for the evening were:
Nephrolepis Superior, by H. Plath, 90
points; a fine vase of the latest vari-
eties of carnations, with long stems, by
N. Peterson, of San Mateo, 92 points;
a good specimen of Cibotium Schiedei,
by F. Pelicano, 95 points. Announce-
ment was made of the score on exhib-
its at meetings for the year, the three
prize-winners being: H. Plath, first,
with 980 points; F. Pelicano, second,
762 points; the MacRorie-McLaren Co.,
third, 444 points.

The business meeting closed with the
nomination of officers for the coming
year. Eric James was unanimously
nominated for president, to succeed H.
Plath, who has worked hard and ef-
fectively in that office for a long time.
For vice-president Thomas Fenton was

Walker, welcomed the visitors and an-
nounced that the floral center was an
assured feature of the rose festival for
next June. He then gave a brief ad-
dress, calling the attention of the
ladies to the strong influence they exert
on. the trade, and expressed the hope
that a women’s auxiliary soon would be
formed, so that they might assist the
society in an organized manner.
President Walker said that the aim
of the society is to elevate as well as
promote the business of its members,
and placed the florists in a class with
artists, musicians and others whose
chief endeavor is to satisfy the yearn-
ing of humankind for the beautiful in

art and nature. The florists are not
the real manufacturers,. he claimed,
but simply assistants to nature; hence,

no evil can enter into their product,
nor can the business degenerate. He
pointed out the difficulty of attaining
the high aims of the society, but ex-
pressed a firm belief that they could be
reached with the active assistance of
the ladies.

The program that followed was
heartily enjoyed. Several times the
entertainers had to respond to more
than one encore. The numbers were:

ers’ Association practically has decided
to make Des Moines a permanent meet-
ing place and to change the date to the
first or second Wednesday and Thursday
in June.

cember 16. R. F. Lyon, secretary, states
that the edition is 600,000, distributed
only in the southern states.

Davip BURPEE, who under the terms
of his father’s will now is head of W.
Atlee Burpee & Co., has been elected a
director of the Market Street National
bank, of Philadelphia, filling the va-
cancy caused by the death of the senior
Mr. Burpee, November 26.

THE federal quarantine against ship-
ments from foreign countries of Irish
potatoes affected with powdery scab is
removed by an order of the Department
of Agriculture, effective January 1, 1916.
The quarantine against certain countries
on account of the potato wart disease,
promulgated September 12, 1912, re-
mains in full force and effect.

MUST FIGHT AGAIN.

W. F. Therkildson, chairman of the
committee on postal laws of the
A. 8. T. A., sounds a warning: against
proposed legislation that will deprive
seeds of their present rate in the parcel
post. He writes to The Review:

‘‘As you are perhaps aware, Repre-
sentative Anderson has _ introduced
House Bill H. R. 636, which purposes
to subject seeds, plants, etc., to the
same rate of postage as other mer-
chandise.

‘‘You know it was by considerable
effort we were able to keep seeds at
the old rate of two ounces for 1 cent,
up to and including eight ounces. It
would be a mistake to let this bill slip
through at this time, after so much
effort. I will depend on you to use
every means in your power to prevent
this from becoming a law.

‘‘Please furnish me carbon copies of
the letters you will write to the sena-
tors and representatives, so as to. pre-
vent duplication. It is also well to
have these on file.

“You can readily understand the
matter of having to zone over four
ounces is going to add a considerable
burden. Please let me hear from you
at your earliest convenience.

‘‘T will depend on you to give pub-
licity to this in your paper, and assist
us in every way possible to have the
trade use codperative effort to kill this
measure. ’’

That the present rate was obtained
was due largely to Mr. Therkildson’s
efforts and it is too much to ask that

CUTHBERTSON ON BURPEE.

W. Cuthbertson, of Edinburgh, stands
as the representative head of the horti-
cultural trades in Great Britain. On
receipt of the news of the death of W.
Atlee Burpee he wrote:

‘*When I received a message from
Philadelphia that W. Atlee Burpee had
passed away, I felt that one of the
finest men I have ever known had
passed out of my life. He was a great
personality and a great friend. There
was not, there could not be, anything
small or mean about Atlee Burpee. He
was cast in a big mold.

‘*A Britisher by birth (he was born
in Canada), he gave his adopted coun-
try all he had to give, but was a loyal
friend to Britain to the end. I know
that the war and the sufferings of Bel-
gium caused him intense anguish.

‘*In 1876 Mr. Burpee started the
business which has grown to be so large
and so famous. Much of his success
was due to his prescience, and much
to his literary taste and ability. Illus-
trative of the former, he said regard-
ing sweet peas in 1893, ‘I think the

The Florists’ Review

DecemMBeER 23, 1915.

at Reading, arm in arm with Mr.
Burpee, we began discussing the
speeches which had been made. I had
spoken, and said it was surely possible
that good feeling should exist among
us though we were opponents in busi-
ness. He said, ‘I didn’t like your word

‘“ opponents. ee | said, ‘Why?’ ‘Be-
cause ‘‘competitors’’ is a better word
than ‘‘opponents,’’ ’ he answered. That
illustrated his fine, discriminating taste,
even in the choice of a word.

‘A feature of Mr. Burpee’s charac-
ter—one which is often characteristic
of truly great men—was this: He could,
and did, appreciate the work of others,
and was never slow to give expression
to his appreciation.

‘He has left two sons, who, I am
sure, will worthily bear the honor and
the responsibilities associated with
their name.

‘“Those of us who were admitted to
his close friendship feel that we shall
not look upon his like again.

“Best seem’d the thing he was, and joined
Each office of the social hour
To noble toanners, as the flower
And native growth of noble mind.’’

THE BURBANK COMPANY.

The creditors of the Luther Burbank
Co., of San Francisco, Cal., are in re-
ceipt of a letter from W. F. Pitts, the
general manager, which says, in part:

“TIT recently took charge of this company’s
affairs and, while matters were found in a rather
chaotic state, I feel quite confident that our
present difficulties can be surmounted and worked
out if we have the codperation of all parties
concerned. I have taken charge of the matter
of refinancing our company and am making an
effort to get matters in shape within the next
thirty days, although the time is rather short
and it may require sixty days to complete the
work. We anticipate being able to refinance
the company by not later than February 1 next,
and at the latest we will be in a position to
take care of all our creditors by March 1.”

H.-G,

GOVERNMENT ACTIVITIES.

In the annual report of the Depart-
ment of Agriculture there occur the
following paragraphs on subjects of in-
terest to the seed trade:

‘*Denia onion seed.—It has been de-
termined that in several important lo-
calities high-grade onions of the Denia
type can be produced from imported
seed. Several lots of American-grown
seed have been produced, and from this
seed bulbs of high quality have re-
sulted, thus indicating that it may be
possible to successfully produce in this
country a grade of Denia onion seed
which will give results quite as satis-
factory as have been obtained from im-
ported seed. '

‘“New and rare seeds.—The distribu-
tion had for its object the dissemina-
tion of seed of new and rare field crops,
seed of improved strains of staple crops
and high-grade seed of crops new to
sections where the data of the depart-
ment indicate such crops to be of con-
siderable promise. Each package con-
tained a sufficient quantity of seed for
a satisfactory field trial, and the re-
cipient was urged to use the seed for
the production of stocks for future
plantings. A report card and a circu-
lar, giving full directions for the cul-
ture of the crop, accompanied each
package of seed. Only seed of new
crops or of improved strains of stand-
ard crops were distributed, including
the following: Canadian, Grimm,
Peruvian, Baltic and Kansas-grown
alfalfas; Bromus inermis; alsike, red,
sweet and white clovers; New Era,

‘‘During the year, 275,814 packages
of new and rare field seeds were dis-
tributed, including 106,770 packages of
cotton seed. The results obtained have
been gratifying, indicating the value
of a distribution of this kind. Such a
distribution enables a farmer to pro-
cure seed of new and improved crops
in sufficient quantities to produce sim-
ilar stocks for future seeding, thus re-
sulting in materially improving the
crops of the country. The appropria-
tion was $100,000.

disturbed condition in Europe, there
has been a shortage in the supply of

MERRY XMAS
HAPPY NEW YEAR

For several years business
has not been as good for
florists as in the past because
of conditions prevailing
throughout the country.
From now on, however, busi-
ness will be better—in fact,
we believe it will be better
than it ever was. So we con-
gratulate those who have
weathered the storm and are
sorry for those who have not.
We are not without faults—
we make many mistakes, so
we offer a little prayer of

forgiveness for those who

have an ill-feeling toward us,
and we ask forgiveness from
those whom we have rubbed
the wrong way. We have no
malice toward anyone, and
we wish the entire trade, in-
cluding all our competitors
and the Dutchmen, a very
Merry Xmas and Happy
New Year.

tation containing only five per cent of
hairy vetch seed. At present there is
no way to prevent the importation of
adulterated hairy vetch seed, as it is
not subject to the seed-importation act.
More than 1,000,000 pounds of the
crimson clover seed imported during
May and June, 1915, germinated less
than sixty-two per cent, the lowest ger-
mination determined being only twenty-
nine per cent. While much of this dead
seed may be mixed with better seed
before going to the consumer, it will
eventually all be paid for by the
farmer and seeded in the vain hope of
securing a stand.’’

nominated. W. A. Hofinghoff was re-
nominated for secretary. B. E. Meyer
was nominated for financial secretary;
J. A. Axell for treasurer; Prof. Gregg
as librarian; D. Raymond and F. Poss
as ushers. John McLaren was renom-
inafed as trustee. Nominations for
the exhibit committee included Messrs.
Plath, MacRorie, Pelicano, Taylor, Po-
desta, Fenton, A. J. Rossi, Bertrand, P.
Ferrari, Gill, Hofinghoff, Goertzahn,
James, Munro, Kittlewell, Peterson,
D. McLaren, Stein, Meyer, Poss and

others.

The meeting adjourned at 9:30, when
James Keegan took charge. Tables had
been placed in the room and excellent
cigars, beer and sandwiches were quick-
ly distributed. Mr. Keegan also had
provided for musical entertainment, a
number of professionals making things
lively with piano, banjo and vocal se-
lections when the conversation lagged,
which was seldom. A few left early
to cross.the bay, but most of the crowd
smoked and talked over matters of in-
terest until well along toward midnight.

Various Notes.

Richard Diener, a member of the Pa-
cific Coast Horticultural Society and
formerly a partner in the Metzner Flo-
ral Co., of Mountain View, is associated
with Congressman William Kent, of
Kentfield, near San Rafael, in a new
enterprise, under the name of Richard
Diener Co. The company has been in-
corporated with a capital stock of $25,-
000, which will be shared equally by
Mr. Kent and Mr. Diener, and a large
tract of land near Kentfield is being
prepared for propagating and hybrid-
izing gladioli, petunias, pansies and
carnations. Mr. Diener’s new seed-
ling gladioli have attracted a great
deal of attention this year at the Hor-
ticultural Society meetings, at the ex-
position and among the exhibits at the
S. A. F. convention, the flowers being
large and showing remarkable colors.
He now has enough stock of this kind
to plant about three acres.

Daniel Raymond, manager of the
Garden City Pottery Co., will leave in
a few days for an extended eastern
trip, with the particular object of visit-
ing the leading pottery plants of the
country to see if they are making bet-

J. A. Axell, of the E. W. McLellan

ter pots than those made here.
Co., says he is fairly swamped with
orders, mostly for violets, both for
Christmas and current shipment, and,
while the supply has at times seemed
without limit, he is beginning to won-
der whether there will be enough. His
cut of gardenias for the holiday season
is fully up to expectations and finds an
excellent market. 8. He @.

Since Easter in 1916 will be so late—April 23rd, everybody can
get Lilium Giganteum in good time. Lilies are still the Easter
flower, and Giganteum the Easter lily. Ours may not be the best,

but they don’t come any better.

THE private office of the H. J. Weber

& Sons Nursery Co., of Nursery, Mo.,_

which also is the post-office of Nursery,
of which Frank Weber is postmaster,
was robbed last week of money and post-
age stamps to the amount of $200.

THE county commissioners of Osceola
county, Florida, will establish a nursery
at Kissimmee, Fla., directly after New
Year’s. B. E. Evans and J. Davis, of
Kissimmee, have been authorized to pur-
chase nursery stock and materials for the
establishment.

Ir you do a mailing trade in plants,
write to your senators and representative
in Congress to oppose House Bill 636,
which, if it becomes law, will require
zone rates on all parcel post shipments
above four ounces. At present those
up to eight ounces go at 1 cent for each
two ounces, We don’t want to lose this
rate.

OUR PROBLEM.

A-nurseryman who had waited-in
vain for payment on a bill of shrubs
that he had sold to a smaller dealer,
finally wrote and demanded some sat-
isfactory answer in regard to the set-
tlement of the account. The answer
came and the delinquent was surprised
that there should have been any doubt
as to his ability to pay. ‘‘We are not
dishonest. We are not hard up,’’ he
wrote. ‘‘If we could just convert our
stock into cash, we would be able to
meet all our bills,’’

And it didn’t seem to strike him that
he was stating every dealer’s problem
in citing his own case. M. F

FIGHTING THE MOTHS.

Over 12,000,000 specimens of two
parasites that prey on the gipsy moth
and brown-tail moth were released in
201 towns in Maine, New Hampshire,
Massachusetts and Rhode Island dur-
ing the fall of 1914 and spring of 1915,
according to the annual report of the
bureau of entomology, United States
Department of Agriculture.

As a result of the successful estab-
lishment of colonies of these and other
parasites that feed on the gipsy and
brown-tail moths, marked progress is
being made in reducing these pests.
Effective codperation is being afforded
by the states, which carry on as much
work as possible within the infested
areas, thus allowing the federal au-
thorities to carry on field work along
the outer border of infestation. °

As a result of scouting work car-
ried on by the entomologists in 223
towns in New England, the gipsy moth
was found in four towns in Maine,

twenty-three in New. Hampshire, three
in Vermont, ten in Massachusetts, and
ten in Connecticut, making a total of
fifty towns where the insect had not
been previously reported; This scout-
ing consists in an examination of all
roadsides, residential sections, orchards
and woodlands. Where colonies are
found the egg clusters are treated with
creosote and the trees are banded with
tree tanglefoot and sprayed with ar-
senate of lead.

The spread of the brown-tail moth
during the last year has been inconsid-
erable, the indications being that this
pest has not infested any territory
other than that already reported. In
cooperation with the United States
Lighthouse Service, the work of col-
lecting moths at night ng the coast
of Connecticut and Long Island has
been continued.

Other activities of the bureau in
relation to the gipsy moth include
the inspection of forest products, nurs-
ery stock, and stone and quarry prod-

PROVIDENCE.

The Market.

The last week has been a busy one
for the florists in their final prepara-
tions for the Yuletide. It is several
years since there has been so general a
demand for wreaths of all kinds, as
well as roping of laurel, evergreens
and holly. Palms, ferns and all kinds
of potted plants, especially those bear-
ing red blooms or berries or red foliage,
have sold almost as fast as offered and
at slightly better prices than a year
ago. Red cut flowers of all kinds are
being ordered freely, causing a mate-
rial stiffening in prices; some of the
dealers are taking orders only condi-
tionally. A slight crispness to the
weather created a more decided holi-
day atmosphere.

Various Notes.

wich, has just received more than 100

The Florists’ Review

DECEMBER 23, 1915.

ENOXVILLE, TENN.

The Market.

The weather during the first half of
December was disagreeable, with little
sunshine, and the consequence is that
stock is scarce. This seems to be the
condition everywhere, for it is almost
impossible to buy stock at other mar-
kets. If the cloudy weather continues
for a few days, Christmas flowers will
be at a premium, and the demand prob-
ably will be heavier than ever. A large
crop of carnations is in the state of
opening, after a few days of sun, but
if the crop does not arrive in time for
Christmas sales there probably will be
a glut soon after.

Trade during the first half of Decem-
ber was good. Funeral work has been
heavy, while the continuous round of
social affairs has created a demand for
bouquets and decorations.

Society Election.

At the annual meeting of the Knox-
ville Florists’ Society, December 13, the
following officers were elected for the
ensuing year: President, A. J. Me-
Nutt; vice-president, Mrs. W. R. Ryno;

second vice-president, Brockway
Crouch; secretary-treasurer, <A. H.
Dailey.

Members of the society were agree-
ably surprised to learn of Mrs. Edith
Crouch’s marriage to Mr. Goetz, a
Co young business man of

emphis. The wedding was a quiet
one and it was only the day before the
nuptials that members of the society
heard the news. As a token of ap-
preciation of her services rendered as
vice-president of the society during the
last two years, Mrs. Goetz was pre-
sented with a handsome silver baking
dish and silver bread tray bearing the
engraving: ‘‘From members of the
Knoxville Florists’ Society.’’ Mrs.
Goetz was associated with the concern
of C. W. Crouch for some time and
was store manager for several years.

Various Notes.

H. C. Neubrand, representing A. N.
Pierson, Inc., of Cromwell, Conn., was
in Knoxville December 11. This was
Mr. Neubrand’s first visit to Knoxville
for his concern. F. G. Slowey, repre-
senting the Sefton Mfg. Co., of Chi-
cago, was a visitor last week.

The Crouch store has prepared for a
heavy Christmas trade. The stock in-
cludes a large number of some of the
best poinsettias grown in this section.

Charles L. Baum is showing a fine
line of plants and cut flowers, and if
the sun shines for a few days he will
have splendid stock for Christmas
sales.

Addison J. McNutt has been exceed-
ingly busy during the last two weeks
and everything indicates a fine Christ-
mas trade. He recently purchased a
fine 5-passenger Overland car, and has
mastered the art of driving without
an accident.

A. H. Dailey was busy last week.
Funeral work has been unusually heavy
and preparations for Christmas necessi-
tated a great deal of work. His new
store on North Gay street, managed by
R. M. Speer, is proving a success.

Mrs. W. R. Ryno complains of stock
being scarce. Friends are glad to hear
of her recovery from a recent attack
of the grip.

Florists’ Society will be held at the

THE THIRD EDITION

OF THE

Album of Designs

(A Book Every Retailer Needs)

‘THE original Album of Designs was published in response to many

requests from florists who felt the need for an up-to-date book that
could be used in taking orders for Funeral Designs, Wedding Decorations
and Bouauets, Table Decorations and all cut flower work where it was not
practicable to show the customer the finished article as it would be when
ready for use. With the publication of this album it became possible to
show the finished work in beautifully printed pictures. The first
edition sold like hot cakes, and a second edition went quickly. Now a
third edition is off the press. Everything is in it—all the standard
designs and many new and heretofore unpublished pieces.

COLUMBUS, 0O.

The Market.

Trade is about all that can be rea-
sonably expected. Stock is more plen-
tiful and is cleaned up about as fast
as it comes in. Funeral work has been
heavy and has used up a great deal of
the output. Roses are fine. Carna-
tions are in heavy demand, but there
will be a fair cutting for Christmas.
Some growers, however, report a
scarcity.

There will be a good supply of
narcissi, both in white and yellow.
Valley is in good supply, as are sweet
peas. Violets ara coming in well and
many early Christmas orders were
booked for them. Some fine poinsettias
are to be seen in the cut ones, and
are meeting with ready sales. Those
in pans do not seem to be up to the
standard, but are fair. .There is a good
supply of azaleas, which are finding a
ready sale, and it is doubtful if there
will be enough to go around. Cincin-
nati begonias are much in evidence,
but move somewhat slowly in this mar-
ket. Primulas are to be seen in quan-
tities and some extra good plants are
on the market. Pans of valley will be
plentiful. They always find a ready
sale at Christmas time. There seem to
be quantities of trees, holly and Christ-
mas greens of all kinds, and all report
good sales of them.

Various Notes.

The Livingston Seed Co. is making
its usual good run on Christmas goods.

Richard Winters is having a fine cut
of sweet peas, with quality just about
right. He says he is sorry his crop
is not heavier, as he could dispose of
them easily.

The Market.

The prospects are for only a fair
Christmas supply, but prices are not
any too good. or the last fortnight
receipts have been extremely light and,
as the holidays approach, the receipts
show only a small increase. American
Beauties are of excellent quality and
in good supply. The cut of other roses,
particularly of Killarney and White
Killarney, has increased and these are
again in fair supply. Carnations are
exceedingly scarce. Both Easter and
magnificum lily receipts are heavy.
Poinsettias are plentiful. Valley, or-
chids and violets apparently are in suf-
ficient supply to meet all requirements.
These have an active market. Other
offerings include stevias, calla lilies,
sweet peas, narcissi, forget-me-nots and
primroses.

Various Notes.

C. E. Critchell reports that this
year’s sale of boxwood has been the
largest he has ever had.

Friends of C. A. Peters, now of
Huntington, W. Va., and formerly of
this city, are sorry to hear of the
death of Mrs. Peters, which occurred
December 11.

Henry Koester has the sympathy of
his many friends in the loss of his
father, who died December 14, in his
seventy-first year.

Recent visitors included E. J. Fan-
court, of the S. S. Pennock-Meehan Co.,

NEWPORT, RB. I.

The regular meeting of the Newport
Horticultural Society was a busy and
an important one, as plans for next sea-
son were discussed. The report of the
committee on the revision of the con-
stitution and by-laws was adopted and
ordered printed after several amend-
ments had been made thereto.

The society voted to codperate with
the Newport Garden Association in
holding a rose and strawberry exhibi-
tion at the garden and grounds of the
association, in June, at which time
sweet peas will be given a prominent
place. The premium list for the mid-
summer show, to be held August 11 to
13, in conjunction with the Newport
Garden Club, was presented by the ex-
ecutive committee. The list was thor-
oughly discussed and, finally, after
some additions had been made, it was
adopted. It is understood that there
will be a number of special premiums
added later. W. H. M

The Market.

Stock will be exceedingly scarce for
Christmas. The cold, dark weather
has held back the cut to a great extent
and the orders have been coming in
so fast that the entire stock was
booked almost two weeks in advance.
Plants have had an exceptionally good
sale and are becoming more and more
prominent as a factor in the holiday
sales. Roses are in fine shape and those
who purchased the better grades of
stock will have something exceptionally
fine this year.

Red stock, both in roses and carna-
tions, is in heavy demand, as usual,
and of course the demand far exceeds
the supply. The crop of carnations is
good, but white seems to predominate

and the call for this color is the light- .

est. Violets will be scarce this year.
The quality of the singles isygood and
the doubles, while not so good as they
might be, are readily disposed. of.
Prices have soared and still orders will
have to go unfilled regardless of price.
Orchids will cut more of a figure in
the market than heretofore and there
is some fine stock to be had. Valley is
about equal to the demand and is in
fine shape. Business seems to be get-
ting over the depression which has been
in evidence for some time and it is
almost safe to prophesy a banner year
for the trade.

Greenhouse Heating.

SUBSCRIBERS are invited to write the
Editor of this Department with regard to
any details of greenhouse heating that
are not understood. But please do not
ask The Review to make a choice of ap-
paratus for you. The greenhouse heating
equipment advertised in this paper is, we
believe, the best for the trade to buy,
and each article the best in the special
field of its adaptation.

THE COAL MARKET.

It is perhaps hardly necessary to say
that the weather, with its change to
real winter conditions, has been one of
the strongest influences in controlling
the coal market during the last week
and has greatly benefited the trade.
The weather, though ordinarily the
subject of commonplace small talk, is
sometimes the chief arbiter in men’s
affairs—in the florists’ trade, the coal
trade and elsewhere. In the east the
fall in the temperature was accom-
panied by a blizzard, which added to
the other interruptions of transporta-
tion and intensified the demand for
fuel. Already the expansion of trade
has been sufficient to clean up the un-
wieldy accumulations of coal, and it
is predicted that the severe weather,
if it continues, will soon force the mine
operators to increase their output.

The point of chief interest to the
florists is that there are no more pros-
pects of bargain sales of smokeless coal.
The smokeless market, which of late
has been exceptionally lax, ‘‘has right-
ed itself quickly’’ under the stimula-
tion of the weather. The circular price
on mine-run, $1.40, is now maintained.

ONE HOUSE IS PARTITIONED.

I have two greenhouses, running east
and west, with a service house, 20x24,
connecting them so that the combined
buildings form one continuous line.
One greenhouse is 20x50 and has a 30-
inch concrete wall all around, with
thirty inches of glass in the side walls
from the concrete to the eaves. The

‘ DeceMBER 23, 1915,

supposed to give a night temperature |

of 50 degrees.

' The boiler is situated at the west
end of the service house, in the base-
ment, The top of the boiler is eighteen
inches below the lowest point in the
pipes, which rise five and one-half
inches in fifty feet. The boiler is a
Metropolitan, 1911 patent. It stands
three feet high, exclusive of the base.
The grate is 22x38, Is this boiler, with
the system of piping described, suf-
ficient to give the temperatures stated,
when the outside temperature is 10 de-
grees below zero? C. R. W.—Mich.

From the description given, we are

not positive regarding the amount of
pipe in the two sections into which
the house first described’is divided. As
we understand it, a 3-inch flow pipe
runs through the ‘first section and sup-
plies eight 2-inch flows and a similar
number of 2-inch returns in the end
section. This will give about 180
square feet of radiation, which should
furnish a temperature of 60 degrees in
the section 18x20 feet.
: In addition- to the 3-inch flow and
réturn which pass through the other
house, there are two 2-inch flows and
two 2-inch returns. If, besides this,
the four returns fromthe end section
also pass through this" section, there
will be about 225 square feet, which
should be sufficient for 50 degrees.

Our method of piping the two sec-
tions would be to run three 214-inch
flow pipes to the farther end of the
farther section, placing one flow. on
each plate and «the other under the
ridge. At the farther end of the
house, drop’the central flow down and
supply two coils.of two 2-inch returns.
These should start at the middle of
the end of the house and run in either
direction to the corners of the house,
and then on the walls back to the
boiler. Each of the other flows should
feed two 2-inch returns on the walls.
All of the pipes, both flows and returns,
should run through the other section,
where they will give a temperature of
50 degrees. In the other house there
will be four 2-inch flow pipes on one
side and three on the other, with the
same number of 2-inch pipes as re-
turns. This should give 50 degrees.

There will be not far from 1,000
square feet of radiation in the system,
for which the boiler should have a
rating of 1,200 square feet. This is
approximately the size of the boiler
which has been installed.

FORT WAYNE, IND.

The Market.

We are experiencing real Christmas
weather, with the thermometer regis-
tering 10 degrees above zero, and plen-
ty of snow and ice underfoot. The
Christmas spirit of buying gifts has
been prevalent the last two weeks and
business is exceedingly brisk in every
department of the trade. Owing to the
severely cold weather and the almost
<ontinuous snow storm, the supply of
<ut flowers has shortened considerably.
Then, too, many of the growers are
holding back their stock of plants for
Christmas ordering. Carnations are
scarce, and a great shortage is expected
for Christmas, especially in red. Red
roses are also at a premium, and can-
not be had in very large quantities at
any price.

Prices for Christmas already have
gone into effect. Roses are in better
supply in Killarney, Mrs. Chas. Rus-
sell, Shawyer, Sunburst, Ophelia and
Ward. White roses are scarce. Sweet
peas are more plentiful. Stevia is in
excellent condition. American Beauties
are good, and the prices quoted for
Christmas are high. Violets are plen-
tiful, and are having a good demand.
Easter and calla lilies sell well for fu-
neral work, of which there is a great
deal. Lily of the valley is in splendid
condition and the demand is good. Only
a few stragglers are left of the chrys-
anthemums, and these are mostly yel-
low, although a few white ones are be-
ing used for funeral work.

The variety and quality of Christmas
plants are exceptionally good. Poin-
settias are proving great favorites, and
azaleas are close seconds. Cyclamens,
narcissi, primulas, ardisias and Jeru-
salem cherries are going well. Heather
plants in both the Scotch and French
varieties are a novelty in this locality
and are selling well. ‘The business in
Christmas greens and novelties is active.
Baskets of boxwood, Scotch heather,
ruscus, Diana grass and immortelles
are proving popular and wreaths of
holly, boxwood, heather, ruscus and im-
mortelles are in great demand. The
quality of mistletoe is unusually good.

Various Notes.

Miss Catherine Vesey is at home for
the holidays, from Glendale College,
Delaware, O.

Mr. and Mrs. Aaron Shive, of the
Flick Floral Co., motored to Decatur
last Sunday, in a lively snow storm.
They covered fifty miles.

The decorations in the downtown
florists’ windows are unusually attrac-
tive, with their Christmas sugges-
tions. Red and green are the prevail-
ing color schemes, while many novelties
are displayed to attract the public’s
eye and lure its purse. Striking Christ-
mas decorations have been carried out
by the Wolf & Dessauer department
store. They consist of evergreen, laurel
and holly roping, draped from the top

The Florists’ Review

DreceMBER 23, 1915.

¢

KANSAS CITY,

The Market.

Business conditions in every line are
satisfactory. The books show an in-
crease over last year by a large margin.
The total of bank clearings each week
has shown an average increase of twen-
ty per cent over each corresponding
week of last year. Stock has been
scarce. One reason for this is that the
growers have been letting flowers hang
on the plants to help meet the demand
for Christmas. This especially applies
to carnations, which are the easiest to
hold and the hardest flowers on the
market to buy today. Other cut flow-
ers are plentiful and up to the stand-
ard in quality; good prices are being
obtained for them.

Pot plants of all kinds are plentiful.
This market never has seen better pot
plants in such large numbers. Azaleas
were all easy to get in flower this year
and all blooms are coming at one
time. Cyclamens have increased three-
fold over last year and all plants are
of better quality. Poinsettias are more
numerous than last year. Begonias of
all kinds are of good quality and in
sufficient supply to meet all demands.
Basket work has been prepared for and
a large number of plants has been
grown for that purpose.

Various Notes.

For several years Arthur Newell and
Samuel Murray owned jointly some
valuable ranch land in the Texas pan-
handle. A deal for this land was
closed last week by Mr. Newell. The
land sold for cash at a good profit over
the original cost. A trip to the orient
is being planned by Messrs. Newell
and Murray.

W. J. Barnes has the best pot plants
for Christmas he has ever fad, espe-
cially in Lorraine begonias and cyela-
mens. He has hegonias that measure
thirty inches across and large cycla-
mens in 8-inch pots. The poinsettias
are three to a pan, and from six to
eight inches above the pan.

The commission houses have plenty
of holly and mistletoe of excellent
quality. They report that business in
that line is a great deal better than,
and consignments not so heavy as, last
year.

T. J. Noll & Co. report plenty of
stock of all kinds. Consignments of
holly and peppers are of first quality.
Orders are a great deal heavier than a
year ago for Christmas cut flowers and
supplies, due, he says, to honest deal-
ing and the help of The Review ads.

The W. L. Rock Flower Co. had a
busy week in decorating. It has re-
ceived a fine line of novelties for the
holiday trade.

The George M. Kellogg Flower &
Plant Co. had a busy week in funeral
work, out of town. A good crop of
cut flowers and plants is expected from
the greenhouses for the Christmas
trade. 5

There was plenty of funeral work in
this city last week. Practically every
florist had a good share of it.

Horace Cheeseman, representing
Ralph M. Ward & Co., of New York,
was in this city last week.

Business across the state line has
been good, with plenty of funeral work,
an increase in decorating, and exten-
sive preparations for Christmas.

The Market,

Business last week was not so good
as that of any of the several weeks
previous, for the reason that buyers
were waiting for the holidays and also
because of the cloudy weather. Roses
are becoming scarce, but if we have
sunshine this week it will help mat-
ters. It looks as if the heavy crop the
growers have planned for the holidays
might arrive just after the heavy de-
mand is over. There are plenty of
good pot plants for the trade, poin-
settias being especially plentiful and
good. Roman hyacinths are in good
supply, as are Paper White narcissi in
pots.
the best quality. Some growers have
more good azaleas than usual, while
others have none.

There_is little statice on the market,
but as there is plenty of other similar
stock there will be few who will miss
it. I have seen few immortelles thus
far. Christmas decorations are selling
well, especially at wholesale. There
seems to be nothing new this season.
There is plenty of the regular stock
we have had for years, but what is
needed is a few good novelties each
season. While holly has appeared on
the streets and in the market house, it
is not up to the usual standard in qual-
ity. It has been claimed that Tennes-
see holly is unusually good this year,
but its appearance does not warrant
the statement. Mistletoe, however, is
berried better than I have ever seen it
here. None of the florists handle
either of these items except in a few
made-up wreaths,

On the whole, prices are satisfac-
tory and everyone will boost them this
week. The general expectations are
that holiday business will be better
than ever this year. Perhaps more ad-
vance orders have been booked this
year than last.

Various Notes.

The Joy Floral Co. is doing a good
wholesale business in Christmas goods.
This company’s American Beauties are
as good as I have ever seen on this
market.

McIntyre Bros. say they will have a
good line of cut flowers this week, as
well as a heavy supply of pot plants.
They are doing most of their retailing
from the Broadway store.

Geny Bros. have an unusually fine lot
of azaleas this year and their roses are
at their best. At no time have they
had a larger cut than now. They have
a good line of bulbous stock.

Most of the small growers are not
attempting to do much at Christmas
this year, though all of them will have
nice assortments of plants at their
greenhouses. ad Fr. B.

The Market.

The fore part of last week was
rather dull, but at the end of fhe week
business became livelier. Friday and
Saturday it was much like the starting
of the holiday rush. All kinds of
plants continue to come in and the
stores have the Christmas spirit about
them. Much extra help is required and
longer hours are necessary.

The supply of roses is about equal to
the demand. with the exception of
white, which is more plentiful. Red,
of course, is scarcer than any other
color. Beauties are selling well and
bring good prices. Carnations are
rather scarce and seem to sell out
every day. The red carnations are in-
sufficient for the demand. Mums of
all descriptions are done for; they are
no longer called for.

Violets are selling nicely, the singles
being scarce and the doubles having
good quality. Valley at present is
quite sufficient for the call and mig-
nonettes .are plentiful. Orchids still
cling to the scarce side of the market.
Calla and Easter lilies are not selling
well. Holly and laurel wreaths are ex-
periencing a large demand; likewise
the immortelle wreaths, which are be-
ing used more than ever. All kinds of
plants are appearing on the market,
with azaleas, cyclamens, ardisias, poin-
settias, begonias and heather in the
lead. Greens of all kinds are selling
well.

Various Notes.

David Scott, of Corfu, is shipping

good as any that can be seen here-
abouts.

streets, has a unique Christmas window

COMBATING WATER HYACINTHS.

The water hyacinths that flourish in
the fresh-water streams and lakes of
Florida, and at times become a serious
obstruction to navigation on the Saint
Johns, Withlacoochee, Caloosahatchee
and Kissimmee rivers and their tribu-
taries, are destroyed by a peculiar proc-
ess, which is described in the report of
the officer of the War Department of

| the Jacksonville district.

The water hyacinth is said to have
been introduced to Florida waters in
1899. It spread rapidly, and before
operations for its removal were started
the rivers were not infrequently so
blocked with floating masses of the
plant that navigation ws seriously im-
peded and the rafting of logs was at
times entirely stopped.- In 1899 Con-
gress authorized the engineers to re-
move the hyacinths, which, while varied
in color, are not used commercially
because of their inaccessibility.

The engineers crush the plants with
a mechanical device installed on a
steamer, using log booms to close
sloughs and backwaters as an auxiliary
means. The cost of equipping the ves-
sel and operating it for one year was
$36,000. As an outfit like this had been
used in Louisiana with but little satis-
faction, the plan of spraying the plants
with a chemical solution was used until
Congress stopped it on the ground that
the chemicals might injure cattle. The
plan of breaking up the packs of hya-
cinths and floating them out with the
current, using log booms to confine the
plant to waters outside the channel,
was then adopted. In 1909 a hyacinth
elevator, consisting of a catamaran
scow carrying an inclined conveyor,
was placed in service and has been used
since with success.

Under these operations the Saint
Johns and other rivers have been prac-
tically cleared of the hyacinths so far
as they obstructed navigation. About
$140,300 has been expended in this
work. To continue the removal of the
hyacinths on these rivers, an appropri-
ation of $10,000 has been asked of
Congress. E..H.P.

YOU MAY WANT TO SELL.
BUILD SO YOU CAN SELL.

Suppose, Mr. Greenhouse Man, you want to sell your property after a few years—how about that? If it is built
of Cypress, the recognized wood for greenhouse construction, you will not have to meet the objection of the proposed
purchaser that the building will not last—that it is not standard-built. You will not need to go into an argument
to try and convince him that the substitute wood is as good as the recognized standard wood—CYPRESS.

In other words, Cypress is so firmly established as the definitive greenhouse wood that a structure built of it is
as standard as gold dollars. A Cypress greenhouse will sell—it is an asset. Everybody knows what Cypress stands
for in greenhouse construction; if anybody knows what the substitute woods stand for, we would be glad to hear
from him.

It seems to us worth while for you to accept the verdict of time, test and all worthy experience in greenhouse
work and build of Cypress, the greenhouse wood. That is your only course for securing a real asset in the under-
taking.

If you built with anything but Cypress and ever want to sell, you would need to hunt around and find some pur-
chaser who was wholly ignorant of the universal standard practice in greenhouse construction—which is Cypress
from ridge-pole to foundation, with ‘‘Pecky” posts, benches and standards. You wouldn’t be abl to sell to any-
body who knows Cypress or who knows anybody else who knows. These suggestions are worth while, even though
you don’t expect to sell out. They simply mean making the most of your investment, for your own sake.

Think them over.

GOOD-BYE THOU #
ws GOOD OLD YEAR

We are ringing down the curtain on a year that has ended much better
than tt began; on a year that has turned out far better than the most san-
guine of us dared hope; ona year that has given us much reason to be
proud of our occupation, our business, our profession; on a year that_has
proved flowers more staple than steel.

TANDING on the thres-
hold of 1915, in the shadow
of the misfortunes that
befell us all in the latter
half of the year then clos-
ing, he was a man of un-
usual foresight who could
discern the course of events
in this trade during the
twelve months now draw-
ing to a close. Then, if ever, when we
voiced the salutation, ‘‘Happy New
Year,’’ was the wish father to the
thought—we hoped for it, but scarce
expected it to come true.

In common with almost every other
line of business in the United States,
we had been hard hit by the war. By
the beginning of 1915, however, it be-
gan to be apparent that
florists as a class were not
suffering so greatly as many
other classes of business
men; indeed, by spring it
was evident that in certain
sections florists were not
suffering at all, while many
other lines still felt keenly
the depression.

It was in October that
the boom began. There are .
communities in which the
florists have not yet felt
the pulsebeat of business
above normal, but in the
middle west the _ tenth
month of the year was the
best October this trade ever
has experienced and in
many places as much may
be said for November and
for December. While flor-
ists had not suffered so seri-
ously as many others dur-
ing the months of depres-
sion, the boom in other
lines was reflected promptly
in an increased call for
flowers. The revival, felt
first in the agricultural
west, soon spread to the
manufacturing east.

Our Position Today.

It can be said for the
florists’ business that today
we stand in a better posi-
tion than ever before. It
has been demonstrated that
flowers are more staple
than steel, as necessary as
food and clothing to a con-
siderable and constantly in-

creasing proportion of the population.

Having weathered the storm of the
first year of war in Europe with busi-
ness failures scarcely so numerous as in
normal times, it may be assumed that
the greater caution now habitual has

‘ put the trade on a footing where it-is in

safer shape than ever before. We are
growing more stock than ever before,
better stock, and have a wider outlet.
We are, today, in position to wish each
other a ‘‘Happy New Year’’ with the
conviction that it will come true.

The Staple Flowers.

Considering the staple flowers, it must
be said 1915 was a rose year. Under
the depressed conditions of the first part
of the year roses did not suffer in price
to the same extent as other flowers and

“We all have Welcomed the Weekly Visits of The Review.”

—George W. Haas, Meadville, Pa.

under the improved conditions of re-
cent months they have maintained their
lead in salability. Aside from this, the
special feature of the rose year has been
the meteoric rise of that prophet-like
variety, Mrs. Russell.

The year has been marked by the
spread of the opinion that the great
bread-and-butter flower, the carnation,
is declining in popular favor. Those
who so hold point to the way it suffered
in price last season and explain recent
stiff prices by the assertion of reduced
supply, while those whose special in-
terests are bound up in the flower con-
tend that the experiences of 1915 were
due’ to unusual business and weather
conditions and that they prove nothing
at all. Really, the carnation shares the
workingmen’s fortunes.

The violet did so poorly
in the early part of the
year that production was
considerably reduced in the
latter part. The result has
been a recently improved
status for the flower. In
parts of the middle west
outdoor violets from San
Mateo county, California,
now compete with the in-
door violets from the Hud-
son river district and violet
growing has almost ceased
to be a local industry.

The business accelera-
tion of the autumn was
most timely for chrysan-
themums, which, although
produced in greater quanti-
ties than ever before, on
the whole had the most
successful season in years.

The longiflorum lily be-
came an every-day flower
in 1915 and there were few
days on which the princi-
pal markets did not afford
sweet peas, with the result
of lower average prices for
both these flowers, indepen-
dent of other conditions.

The summer was poor for
asters, because of weather
conditions, and for gladi-
oli, because of greatly in-
creased production.

Special Flower Days.

Taking the special flower
days by the calendar, it
will be noted that some of
the heretofore unimportant
ones have improved much

faster than have the biggest days. For
instance, St. Valentine’s day, Mothers’
day and Thanksgiving were relatively
better than Easter, Memorial day and
Christmas.

McKinley day was forgotten, except
in a few places. St. Valentine’s day pro-
duced a notable sale for corsage bou-
quets and boxes of loose flowers. Easter
was good, but is limited by the diffi-
culty of getting advance orders. — Moth-
ers’ day showed another big gain; the
fastest growing special flower day.
Memorial day is more generally ob-
served each year, but the demand for
flowers varies with local weather con-
ditions. All Saints’ day called for
many mums in the south, many shi ped
from California as well as from the
north. Thanksgiving was ahead of ex-
pectations; the best yet. Christmas has
become the big day of the year, pos-
sibly because of the more moderate
prices that have accompanied increased
supply, but assisted by the “Do your
shopping early’’ campaign.

Credits and Collections.

Possibly the most important event of
the year, so far as the general good of
the trade is concerned, has been the
inception of a national movement for
closer credits and collections. Without
concerted action, it chanced that the
subject was considered in the. conven-
tions of all three of the leading na-
tional trade organizations, the American
Association of Nurserymen and the
American Seed Trade Assvciation at
their conventions in June and the So-
ciety of American Florists at its annual
meeting in August.

In the nursery and seed trades for
years there have been recognized trade
customs with regard to due dates of
accounts, but the settlement dates have
been so infrequent. that the impression
has become general that reform is desir-
able, if not absolutely necessary; in-
deed, some of the more progressive
houses already have come to enforce
special terms much shorter than the
trade custom. In the florists’ business
there never has been such a thing as
a recognized trade custom with regard
to credits and collections, with the re-
sult that those who have sought to
establish business terms in their own
selling have had more or less difficulty
in getting their terms taken seriously.

With conditions as they are, and have
been for many years, it is of course
difficult if not impossible to secure con-
certed action, but the fact that the
three big national trade bodies are dis-
cussing the subject and appointing com-
mittees to dig deeper into it indicates
the general interest that is being taken
in putting this trade on a footing where
each will do business on his own capi-
tal instead of on the capital of those
from whom purchases are made.

The Shows.

There were not so many trade shows
in 1915 as in some previous years. In
part this may have been due to the
general unsettlement of the times, but
it appears to be increasingly difficult to
make large flower shows self-supporting,
especially in communities where they
now lack the element of novelty. It
seems quite general, too, and not re-
lated to the unusual conditions of 1915,
that the periodical exhibitions of the
endowed horticultural societies are be-
coming smaller rather than larger, that
they are becoming more and more pri-

vate gardener and amateur in character
and that the trade, outside of a limited
number catering to this class of cus-
tomers, is taking a less and less active
part in them. The reason seems to lie
in the difficulty of achieving distinct-
iveness year after year. |

In spite of these conditions 1915 was
notable for two outstanding successes
in the way of trade shows, one at New
York in the spring, the other at Cleve-
land in the autumn. The New York
show took in over $33,000, more money
than any local show ever did before,
while at Cleveland, with a lower admis-
sion fee, the attendance represented a
higher percentage of the city’s popula-
tion than ever has been achieved else-
where. It is to be noted that the finan-
cial success of each of these shows was
due to the income derived from the
sale of space to trade exhibitors. In
neither case did the net profits equal
the sum paid for space.

Conventions of the Year.

The meetings of the national trade
societies several years ago ceased to
keep pace with the growth of the trade,

so that the fact that most of them
fell short of expectations was not
wholly due either to times or location.
The problem before the officers of the
national as well as the local trade or-
ganizations, as emphasized by the ex-
perience of 1915, is to revive the in-
terest that has been submerged by fa-
miliarity and the development of many
fresh interests in the lives of florists.

The nurserymen, facing almost the
same problems and conditions as flo-
rists, at their national convention re-
shaped their organization on the basis
of dues according to the annual gross
business of the member, which will, of
course, imply in most cases a direct
financial gain or a lapse of the mem-
bership.

For some years it has been said,
‘“‘There are too many trade societies;
no man can afford time or money to at-
tend more than a few of their. meet-
ings.’’ But the only apparent check
on their increase in number seems to
lie in the fact that with the birth of
the Dahlia Society in 1915 the special
flower interests seem to be pretty com-
pletely covered.

Greenhoyse Building.

Plans for new glass usually are made
some months in advance, so that the
virtual cessation of greenhouse building
in the east in the early part of 1915
reflected the conditions of the closing
months of 1914. There was a marked
revival in the manufacturing east dur-
ing the latter part of the year, while
in the agricultural middle west the new
glass equaled the record of any pre-
vious year. With this difference, how-
ever: In 1915 the additions weré- to
the country establishments catering to
home trade, rather than to the places
that grow cut flowers for the whole-
sale. markets of the big cities. With
improved markets the last quarter of
the year, builders now are busy on

plans for 1916 greenhouses.

PROPAGATING MARGUERITES.

Will you please tell me the proper
time to take marguerite cuttings? 1
want to grow them in beds for winter
flowering. When is the best time to
plant them? How closely should they
be planted and which is the best va-
riety to grow? J. G—N. J.

The best time to propagate mar-
guerites, both yellow and white, is from
September to April. During the warm
months all the shoots run to flower,
and, while they can be rooted, they do
not make desirable plants. The yellow
marguerite, Chrysanthemum frutescens
Etoile d’Or, is the most popular one
in the market. There are several
forms of this marguerite. In the vi-
cinity of Boston these yellow mar-
guerites are extensively grown and are
popular, realizing nearly as much
money as carhations.

Cuttings taken now should be potted
and planted in beds in August, twenty-
four inches apart each way. It makes
the plants more floriferous in midwin-
ter if the root action is somewhat re-
stricted. For this reason some growers
grow their plants in large pots and al-
low them to root through the bottoms,
carrying them over for a number
of years. However, I have seen just
as fine flowers produced from youn
plants benched in August, from cut-
tings taken the preceding spring. Yel-
low marguerites make a useful crop to
plant in carnation houses where any
plants have failed or where any par-
ticular batch of carnations is pulled
out early. Cuttings rooted now, plant-
ed out in February and grown right
along will give a wealth of flowers the
same season. While marguerites will
flower in midwinter, they do not
produce a really heavy crop until
towards spring and they probably
produce more dollars in May and June
than in any other months.

The white marguerite, Mrs. F.
Sander, meets with a fair demand, but
is not so much in demand as the yellow
varieties. Its flowers are partly single
and partly semi-double in summer. It
is a splendid summer bedding plant and
produces its double white flowers all
through the hot months. Cc. W.

SOCIETY OF AMERICAN FLORISTS.

New Year’s Greeting from President MacRorie.

) HERE is no day in all the
} year that brings more ex-
pectant joy to the heart of
every man than the advent
of a new year. The privi-
lege, as president of the S.
A. F., of extending to its
members and to their families the sin-
cere wish for a happy and prosperous
New Year, gives me extreme pleasure.

There is no doubt whatever in my
mind but that it will be a prosperous
year and, inasmuch as prosperity and
happiness go hand in hand, I can read-
ily assume that it will be a happy one.
Trade conditions throughout the coun-
try are very healthy. We have har-
vested the largest crops in our history
and this is the backbone of prosperity
in any country.

We have more to hope for in the year
1916 than we have ever had before.
Our country has been saved from the
horrible calamity which has_ over-
whelmed Europe and we are hopeful
that we will be spared from such a
fate, not only this year, but for all
years to come.

It is with great personal gratifica-
tion that I can look upon the 8S. A. F.
as more truly a national body than it
has ever been. The convention held in
San Francisco in 1915 was, in my opin-
ion, a step forward. Its "
convening in Houston,
Tex., in 1916 will be an-
other step toward making
it a really national organi-
zation in every sense of
the word. By extending
our conventions to the
west and south we not
only benefit those sections,
but the society itself
gains much by securing
large numbers of recruits
from the new territory
which has thereby become
attached to it. Every sec-
tion of the couitry is ben-
efited and the members
are already drawn closer
together than ever before,
forming a universal broth-
erhood for the promotion
of all that is beneficial to
the individual and to the
society as a whole.

As the president of this
worthy organization I am
proud to be able to send
a kind greeting to all the
craftsmen of the society.
Our membership is_ in-
creasing steadily and I
know that it will continue
to do so. This larger
membership will make it
possible for us to under-
take in the future many
things that would be oth-
erwise impossible. I am
particularly desirous that
every man associated with
our profession should havé
the opportunities which
our society affords, and as
a slight stimulant toward
increasing our member-

I hope that the vice-president in

order that these heads may attain the

Keep your rhubarb in a frost-proof
cellar until you can plant it-out, usually
in March or April. It will be of no
use for forcing the following winter.
It should have two seasons’ growth to
be of any value. Personally, I think
the best thing to do would be to throw
away the forced stock and either raise
seedlings or keep dividing your clumps
to give the necessary stock for forcing.

GLOBE ARTICHOKES.

I raised some artichokes from seed
this year and planted them outdoors.
They were nice, strong plants, but I
did not know how to handle them.. I
took one out of the ground this fall and
found nothing but roots. Do they grow

‘like; the sweet potato, or do they have

to ,be..tied, like celery, or do they
bear the second year? Should they be
left out all winter, or brought in? I
covered mine with straw and manure.
J. P—N. Y.

I-presume you refer to globe and not
Jerusalem artichokes. The latter grow
tall and produce edible tubers similar
to potatoes. The former produce heads
Which are sometimes boiled, and the

bottoms of the scales are eaten with

butter and salt, or baked with a butter
dressing.. These artichokes are not re-
hiably hardy in the northern states,
and it is better either to sow seeds an-
nually in December, grow the seedlings
on in a fairly warm house and plant
out early in May from 5-inch or 6-inch
pots, or lift a few old roots and store
these in a cool, dry pit or cold green-
house and divide in the spring. Plant
them out a yard apart, in warm, rich
soil, and the plants should produce the
same summer. It is necessary to have
strong stock in 5-inch or 6-inch pots
at planting-out time if fruit is wanted
the same season. Cc. W.

VIOLET SPOT.

I am sending you a violet leaf with
some light-colored spots on it. Can you
tell me what is the cause of this?
Please let me know as soon as possible,
so that, if it is a disease, I may be able
to stop it. Also, please tell me what
is a good fertilizer for violets that have
been planted two months without any
fertilizer. W. G. F. G.—Mo.

let spot. The leaf appears to be from

one of the single varieties. These pos-
sess much greater vigor than the dou-
bles and are more disease-resistant.
Taken in hand now, the trouble will
probably not prove serious. I would
advise the picking off and burning of
the affected7ieaves and giving them a
spraying twice a week on bright days
with Fungine, according to the direc-
tions on the can. Keep a night tem-
perature of 40 to 45 degrees, and, later
in the season, run it as near 40 de-
ress as possible for a minimum. Air
reely on every possible occasion.
There are no days and few nights when
the ventilators need to be closed.

Chemical fertilizers are not to be
recommended for violets. Use some
well decayed cow manure or pulverized
sheep manure as a mulch, but go slow-
ly on feeding at this dull season. Your
plants would have done much better if
you had incorporated a liberal coating
of decayed animal manure in the soil
before planting. Early in February,
waterings with liquid manure would
prove beneficial. *

TIME TO SOW SALVIAS.

When shall I sow salvia seed to have
good, bushy plants in 3%-inch pots
May 1, and how much seed will be re-
quired to make sure of having about
2,000 plants? _ J. H. H.—Mich.

Use an ounce of seed and you will
have an abundance, as salvias are. of
easy germination. , Sow about the end
of February and the plants will be of
ample size by May 1. C. W.

HOW TO STORE ROSE PLANTS.

Please let me know how to store 2- :

year-old Killarney and Richmond rose
plants which are now ‘growing in a
bench. I want to. take.them up and
use the space for spring stock and do
not want to. pot them up. How shall I
do this? I want to set the plants out
next summer. H. A.—Iil.

The present is quite. an early date to
take up the rose plants intended for
outdoor work. As you:do not want to
go to the trouble of potting them, and
as it would be folly to plant them in

any unheated-frame or\pit at this sea-
son, I would’ suggest that you take
them up carefully, head them back well
and heel them in, on a bed or bench
in a greenhouse kept at 45 degrees or
thereabouts... You cannot plant out-
doors before April in your latitude and

the plants will not be in so good a con-

dition, of course, as those potted and
kept in a somewhat warmer house.

STARTING SPRING STOCK.

What to Do in the South.

The bedding out season starts at any
time from the end of February to the
middle of April, according to location.
The growers in some sections will have
finished planting out before Easter,
while those in other sections will do
their spring bedding at the time of
the Easter plant sales. In the latter
case it will require good management
to handle the situation.

All seeds of verbenas, phlox, pe-
tunias, vincas, etc., should be sown
without delay, being careful not to
cover the fine seeds but merely press-
ing them into the soil with a board.
Place the boxes of seed in a night tem-

perature of 60 degrees, except the
vineas, which require 65 degrees, and
the seeds will germinate more quickly
and freely than those in a tempera-
ture of 50 degrees. After the seed is
well up the boxes can be moved to a
cooler temperature, so that the plants
will not become spindly. Prick off the
young seedlings into boxes as soon as
they are large enough and later pot
them in 24-inch pots, which will carry
them until sold. In all these opera-
tions be sure to keep the colors of
each variety separate. Probably the
greater number of bedding plants are
sold before they bloom, and as the
customer takes the grower’s word for
the color, the latter should make it a
matter of honor to respect this con-
fidence.

Rs W.. J. Keimel, of Efmhutst, Ilf., Director of the S. A. F.

Antirrhinums in separate colors are
good sellers and also are good for the
growers to plant out for cut flowers;
do not neglect to sow plenty of seed.
The trailing vinca is probably the most
important vine for boxes and baskets,
but the cheaper tradescantia exceeds
it in quantity sold and should be propa-
gated in great numbers. The geraniums
first propagated should be shifted into
3-inch pots as soon as there is room
for them, and into 4-inch pots a month
before time for bedding out. These
plants generally retail in the south for
$1.50 per dozen from 4-inch pots, so
that it pays to give them a little room
while growing, in order to have nice,
shapely plants. In the drier sections
of the south, geraniums, to do well
when planted out, require frequent and
thorough waterings. The sales of these
plants would be increased if the grower
would often bring the importance of
sufficient moisture to his customers’ at-
tention. Keep putting in cuttings of
these until the end of the season. The
late-rooted cuttings will make good
stock planted out.

Vinca Rosea and Alba.

Vinca rosea and alba give more satis-
faction in the south than any other
bedding plants I know of. They flower
continuously until cut down by frost
and are not affected by long, dry spells,
like most of the other bedding plants.
Their glossy foliage and bright flowers
command attention. The flowers are
useful, too, in design work, when other
kinds are not to be obtained. The
plants are better when not “pinched.
Try a bed of each color and note their
value as an advertising medium. L.

SEASONABLE 2
ax SUGGESTIONS

Bedding Geraniums.

Be eareful not to leave geranium cut-
tings in the sand too long, or it will
only mean stunted plants and, possibly,
bacteria after they are potted. Keep
the plants on a light, sunny bench.
Look them over once a week and give
more space where necessary, at the
same time removing decaying foliage
and weeds. On early propagated plants
in 2%-inch or 3-inch pots it may now
be possible to get suitable cuttings.
Also, if you have carried over some
stock plants, a good stock of cuttings
will be available, and these will root
readily now that a steady bottom heat
in the cutting benches can be com-
manded.

Schizanthus.

The schizanthus must have cool
treatment from start to finish; the tem-
perature should not be over 45 degrees
at night.’ Never allow the plants to
become potbound until they are in
their flowering pots. Pinch young
plants to induce a bushy habit. Use
a light, rich soil, as the schizanthus is
a stronger feeder. The plants from a
batch of seed sown now will flower for
Easter. The best variety for pot cul-
ture is S. Wisetonensis.

Poinsettias.

Do not forget to reserve an armple
supply of poinsettia stock plants. These
can be laid on their sides under any
fairly dry benches or stored away on
shelves in any frost-proof shed. They
will do well below greenhouse benches.
The plauts can be kept perfectly dry
at the root until started again in April
or May. Do not dry off Euphorbia
jacquinieflora as severely as you would
E. pulcherrima (the poinsettia), or the
plants will be killed. It is safer to
give them a little water all winter.

Lilies for Easter.

No further time should be lost in
potting giganteum lilies for Easter. It
is true that April 23 is a late date for
the great floral festival, but there is
always a tendency on the part of grow-
ers to delay potting too long when this
is the case. Any lilies potted at this
late date must have a temperature of
62 to 65 degrees at night from pot-
ting until flowering. Do not waste
valuable time in trying to start these
lilies cool. If you do so, you will spoil
them, besides making them too late.

Rambler and Polyantha Roses.

Well ripened rambler and polyantha
roses, especially such as have been pot-
grown through the summer, can now be
started in a temperature of 50 degrees;
this temperature should be raised 10 de-
grees when the growths have started
nicely. Any of the polyantha or Baby
Rambler varieties can be started now,
while Tausendschon will come _ into
flower more quickly than any others of
the true rambler type. Cut away all
dead and weak wood and bend strong

shoots around break

better.

Nerines and Belladonna Lilies.

Nerines and Belladonna lilies make
their growth after the flowering season
has passed. Both bloom much better
when well potbound, and, for this rea-
son, potting should be avoided until
it is an absolute necessity. Give them
a cool, airy house to make their growth
in, water freely and apply liquid ma-
nure once a week in addition. In May
the foliage starts to mature. When the
leaves have mostly turned yellow, lay
the pots on their sides where they can
get a thorough baking all summer long.

Amaryllis.

Look over the plants of hybrid
amaryllis and you will probably find
some which are already pushing up
their flower spikes. Remove such
plants to a bench where they can get
the benefit of some bottom heat. Be-
fore doing so, examine the drainage
and repot, if necessary.-.Usually, how-

so they will

ever, removing some of the old sur-
face soil and giving a top-dressing will
suffice for another season. Unflowered
seedlings should be kept growing con-
tinuously until they flower.

Sowing Asparagus Seed.

The present is a good time to make
a sowing of both Asparagus plumosus
nanus and A. Sprengeri. Use pans or
flats of light, sandy soil and place in
a warm, moist house to germinate.

Propagating Begonias.

If a sufficient number of leaf cut-
tings of Cincinnati and Lorraine be-
gonias- have not yet been placed in
the cutting bench, get them in with-
out delay. The leaves are less liable
to damp off at the base and root better
if broken off with a rough surface,
rather than cut with a knife. <A brisk
bottom heat and sand through which
water passes readily are necessary to
successful propagation. Be sure, also,
to use iarge and well matured leaves.

Antirrhinums.

The larger part of the first crop of
antirrhinums will now be cut from the
early benched plants. This does not
assume that the plants will be without
flowers for some time, for snapdragons
planted in early August will bloom
from October until the following July
if given the proper treatment. Cut

starting from the base have a chance
to develop. On some plants, especially
seedlings, which possess greater vigor
than cuttings, far more shoots appear
than it is advisable to leave. Reduce
these according to the class of spikes
you want. If fancy stalks are desired,
leave three to five to a plant. If spikes
of medium quality are preferred—and
these are usually more valuable to
country floristsleave as many as eight
or ten on each.

A night temperature of 45 to 50 de-
grees suits snapdragons. In a higher
temperature they will become weak
and spindling and lacking in substante.
If they are grown in shallow benches,
a light mulch of well pulverized old
manure will now be beneficial. Go
slowly on feeding for a féw weeks
longer.

Where late mums have been cleared
and some stock in 2%-inch -or 3-inch
pots is at disposal, it will pay. to make
a planting of snapdragons now. They
will ‘bloom well from March onward.
Be sure to add some cow manure, sheep
manure or fine bone to the old mum
compost and give it a good spading
over before planting.

BUSINESS EMBARRASSMENTS.

Chatham, N. J.—The real and per-
sonal estate of Samuel Lum, who was
declared bankrupt last July, was sold
for $26,800 in the Bankruptcy court,
at Newark, December 20. The real es-
tate, appraised at $40,000 and consist-
ing of the Lum homestead, green-
houses and forty acres of land, was sold
to Elmer King, of Morristown, repre-
senting the creditors, for $26,050. The
personal effects of. the bankrupt were
auctioned at $750. The claims of all
the creditors, with the exception of

those of three mortagees, aggregated
$39,054.

DUTCH HYACINTHS FOR EASTER.

We have about 500 Dutch hyacinths
and have been asked to have them
ready for Easter. Can these be potted
and placed in a dry cellar until they
make roots? When should they be
potted? O. K. R. 8.—Ia.

It is extremely late now for potting
hyacinths, or, for that matter, any
other Dutch bulbs. You cannot expect
those planted at this late date to pro-
duce spikes of anything like the quality
of those placed in the soil a couple of
months ago. Pot the bulbs at once,
barely covering them. Water thor-
oughly and place in a cool cellar; one
with a moist, rather than a dry atmos-
phere is to be preferred. Do not store
them where they will be subjected to
any drying, artificial heat. The pots can
be given a mulch of sand or fine coal
ashes, and will need water in sufficient
quantities to keep them moist at the
root. When they have grown to three
inches long they can be placed in the
greenhouse. Allow three to four weeks
from housing to flowering, in an aver-
age temperature of 50 degrees. C. W.

TREATMENT OF POINSETTIAS.

Where is the native place of the
poinsettia? Can it be grown in a
carnation temperature and can it be
grown outside in California as a deco-
rative plant? Do you not think that
a temperature as low as 42 to 46 de-
grees will, in a few nights, cause them

that the night temperature should be
not lower than 60 to 65 degrees. I use
soil composed of a heavy turf loam,

a little bone meal at the last shift,
about the middle of October. .I place
all the old plants, or enough for stock,

them there until the last of April, when
I repot them and place them in a warm,

Poinsettias, or Euphorbia pulcher-
rima, as they are called by botanists,
are natives of moist, shaded parts. of
Mexico and Central America, often be-
ing found at considerable elevations.
They were introduced into America in
1833 and sent out by Buist, of Phila-
delphia, as Euphorbia Poinsettiana,
which would have been a good name
to stick to. While poinsettias do spe-
cially well in a temperature of 60 to
65 degrees, they can be successfully
grown even 10 degrees cooler. In
the lower temperature, however, greater
care in watering is necessary, and
sometimes the plants may need more
heat to develop them fully for Christ-
mas. Your culture of poinsettias could
hardly be improved. C. W.

STOCK PLANTS.

Do not stand the chrysanthemum
stock plants in-pots.er boxes below the
benches: “If wanted in the spring, a
goodeplan is. to plant them in cold-
rames that can be protected and kept
frost-proof. .In the spring a big crop
of strong cuttings will be available. If
a cold house has a’ vacant bench, it will
be an- ideal place for the stock, and
the nearer the light it can be, the bet-
ter. A violet house suits them to per-
fection. There are-some varieties that
may have.sold especially well and of
which it may be desired to increase the

stock, Propagation of these can be

started at once, in order to work up a
good batch of thrifty young plants
from which to take cuttings at the
proper propagating time, prior to bench-
ing. Do not overlook:the single, anem-
one and pompon varieties. These have
jumped wonderfully into favor, espe-
cially the pompons.

CHRYSANTHEMUM MRS. MORGAN.

Chrysanthemum Mrs. M. R. Morgan
originated in the.greenhouses of the
McCallum Co., of Pittsburgh, and was
named for the wife of the foreman. It
was shown for the first time at Cleve-
land, where it attracted attention for
its deep yellow color. The Morgan mum
is a sport of Yellow Eaton, much deeper
in color than any other sport the Eaton
family thus far has developed. The
McCallum concern thinks so well of the
variety that it was made the principal
late yellow this year and will be dis-
seminated this season.

WHITE FLY ON PELARGONIUMS.

Will you kindly ‘tell me the best way
to get rid of white fly? Not long ago
I purchased a lot of pelargoniums and
found they were infested with white
fly. I tried tobacco in different forms,
but without success. I suppose the last
resource is gas, but I am not familiar
with its use. As two houses are in-
fested, I shall have to fumigate both.
One house is 22x100 and twelve feet
to the ridge. The other is a lean-to,
10x60 and nine feet high at the high-
est point. I grow bedding stock in
both houses, and I also have carnations
in one house and lettuce in the other.

M. B. S8.—Pa.

The only sure cure for white fly is
hydrocyanic acid gas. If you want to
use the gas, secure some cyanide of
potassium, ninety-eight per cent pure;
also some sulphuric acid. You will also
need some stone jars, as the acid would
eat away any metal ones. The length
of the house, multiplied by the breadth
and this again multiplied by the aver-
age height, will give the space in cubic
feet. Select a cool evening for fumigat-
ing. Be sure all ventilators are tight.
Stand the jars twenty-five or thirty
feet apart, or farther apart than this
if the house is narrow. Divide the
materials into portions for the jars, ac-

<j x TS em 9 rt

cording to the area and.’the number
of jars’ to be uséd....For, each'’3,000
cubie feet use: one and one-fourth ounces
of cyanide, two’ and one-fourth ounces
sulphuric acid:-and ‘three and one-half
ounces water, Place the water first in
the jars;.then add the sulphuric acid;
then start ‘at. one end of the: house
and drop in the eyahide, wrapped in
oil paper. Walk toward ‘the exi g-Gr0R-
ping in the cyanide as you go. Lock
the door securely and allow wo one to
enter until morting. The gas is:déadly
to all human - beings, as well As*to all
forms of animal Iie « The “house can
be entered with safety in the morning
‘and should .then™ be ventilated and
sprayed over.: Two applications may
be necessary to.clean out the white fly
completely, i .F
Nicoting-preparations are of no avail
in -fighting- white fly. If you: do not
wish to ase-gas, you can keep the fly
pretty well in check by spraying the
affected plants with Aphine or some
soapy spray. Keep this up and you

_ will ‘soon get the pest under subjection.

SWEET PEA BUDS DROPPING.

What causes the buds on my sweet
peas to blight and drop off? They are
planted in raised benches in a carna-

tion house, with a night temperature
of 50 degrees. The soil is about six
inches deep and contains one-fourth
well decayed cow manure. The vines
are about four feet high and look
healthy and strong. The rows are three
feet apart. The flower stems seem to
develop perfectly, but the buds shrivel
and drop. This is my first experience
with sweet peas and any information
will be appreciated. G. I.—IL

Your temperature seems to be all
right. Are you feeding the plants too
much? An excess of nitrogen at the
roots will cause the buds to fall at
any season, either outdoors or indoors,
and especially at this season, when tem-
peratures are low and the sun is at a
low angle. You do not say whether or
not you are feeding. If you are, dis-
continue it now and be moderate when
recommencing its use. Maintain a tem-
perature as near 50 degrees as you can,
water carefully and I think your plants
will- soon grow out of this trouble,
which is a common one. Cc. W.

NEW YORE.

The Market.

Christmas is again a memory, and a
wonderful Christmas for the retail flo-
rists it was; the best, they tell me, in
twenty years. Some of the veteran
wholesalers say the same. And the
plantsmen? Only smiling faces and fat
pocketbooks!

The supply of American Beauties was
not equal to the demand. I know’ of
one advance order by a prominent re-
tailer for 4,000 and there were many
orders for 1,000 and over. No wonder
Beauties rose to $1.25 each Friday eve-
ning and later could not be found at

all! Such figures as above, of course,
were exceptional and $1 each may fairly
be quoted as the price for the. best.
The rose novelties also were much in
demand and 75 cents was the asking
rice for the longest Hadley. Hoosier
eauty and Ophelia also rose to record
prices and others of the newer sorts
were in wide demand. Prices for most
of the roses receded perceptibly after
midnight Christmas eve, at which hour
the buyers for the large retail stores
were much in evidence. About the bot-
tom figure for No. 2 roses was 4 cents.
This also was the low limit for carna-
tions, which went from that up to 8
cents for the best, with an occasional
sale of red at $10 per hundred. Violets
were scarce again and some fine specials
sold at $1.50 per hundred. The prevail-
ing quotation, however, was $1 per hun-
dred. The supply of sweet peas was
light. Some of the cut poinsettias were
enormous and sold for $5 per dozen.
So also did some of the late chrysanthe-
mums, as finely preserved stock as has
been seen this season. Valley did not
advance above 4 cents at any time last
week, Gardenias were held at $6 per
dozen. The surprise of December 24
was the drop in price of orchids. The
supply was larger than expected.
Arrivals of the week were forced lilac
and acacia and southern gladioli. There
was an abundance of lilies, Paper
Whites, Romans; stevia and mignonette.

R. J. Irwin moved last week into his

The Market.

Christmas business nearly tripled that
of 1914. The unusually large supply of
cut flowers was completely exhausted
by 1 p. m. December 24. Long-distance
telephone calls for more stock were of
little avail, as business out of town was
about the same as in this city. Florists
took pains to note the ready sale for
Beauties despite their high price. Poin-
settias, however, were in the lead, and
sold for from 35 cents to $1 each, and
the supply was soon gone. A heavy
snow the day before Christmas, with
cold and snappy weather, helped to give
zest tothe buying of gifts, and the
stores of florists seemed to be the goal
of most shoppers,

Fancy baskets/filled with crotons, and
various decorative plants, sold well at
downtown shops, ‘as did baskets of
ruscus and boxwood. Several leading
florists had special sales on Christmas
decorations. One florist sold more than
450 baskets, and another more than 600
wreaths of boxwood, ruscus and statice.

It was pleasing to florists to see how
far beyond their expectations codpera-
tive advertising for the holiday created
attention and sales for all Christmas
novelties. Never before had Toledo flo-
rists made such preparations for this

holiday and their efforts were doubly
rewarded. Every florist had his store
decorated in original style with greens
or the like; and, with a superabundance
of wreaths, business was bound to come.
Few graves were unmarked, and all
around, in the cemeteries, boxwood and
ruscus or statice and Diana protruded
through the snow, producing a pleasing
effect.
Various Notes.

Max Spanner had some of the most
finely decorated windows of Christmas
novelties to be seen. They sold well.

8S. N. Peck got rid of a lot of excep-
tionally fine primroses and azaleas. Mr.
Peck reports business better this year
than during any other year since he
began business forty years ago.

Harry Heinl boasts of having dis-
posed of 1,000 potted poinsettias and
500 azaleas. Mr. Heinl, an expert in
this line, was much pleased with the
condition of his plants for Christmas
week.

Schramm Bros., through a page ad in
one of the daily papers, disposed of sev-
eral hundred baskets made of ruscus,
boxwood and poinsettias. The sale was
held December 22 only and was a suc-
cess. Mr. Schramm plans for more
extensive sales on these lines for other
holidays.

Metz & Bateman were snowed under
with a rush of orders.

Harry Turvey, of West Toledo, re-
ceived the order at Christmas for the
decorating of Trinity Church.

Helen F. Patten, who had begun to
wonder how she could dispose of such a
quantity of cut flowers as she had or-
dered from local and out-of-town flo-

The Market.

Last Christmas unfavorable weather
played a part in curtailing sales; this
year fair and unseasonably warm
weather prevailed the latter part of
Christmas week; the early part was
cold but clear, and business in general
was better than for any of several sim-
ilar periods.

Stock was not overplentiful, but
enough was to be had for nearly all de-
mands. Store buyers bought heavily
earlier in the week and Christmas eve
saw no unusually heavy buying. The
increased holiday express business de-
layed many shipping orders and- stock
that arrived after Thursday noon did
not sell to as good advantage as that
which arrived earlier in the week. The
expected shortage in cut flowers caused
the stores to push plant sales and a
heavy business was done in this line.
Poinsettia plants, azaleas—of which
many fine ones were about—cyclamens,
primulas and combination baskets made
up the bulk of the sales. ,

Roses were in fair supply, with
enough good red, but short and medium
red were not too plentiful and possibly
some orders on these could not be filled.
Carnations, while no shortage occurred,
were sold up well at good prices. Beau-
ties moved well, as did novelties, such
as Sweetheart roses, valley, cattleyas
and mignonette. Peas were only fairly
plentiful and sold up well. Red carna-
tions hovered around 10 and 12 cents
each, white and light pink around 8
cents, and shorts sold at 6 cents. Cut
poinsettias were only in fair demand,
with no large quantities on the market.
Smilax and asparagus sold up well.

Various Notes.

The Hamilton Flower Shop had some
effective combination baskets, in addi-
tion to an attractive window display.
It had a heavy cut of roses of good
quality and the Hoosier Beauty roses
grown by it were hard to beat. Its cut
poinsettias averaged sixteen inches
across and were the finest seen this
year. The company reports a heavy
trade for the holidays, it having been
necessary to work all through the two
nights preceding Christmas.

Otto H. Guerth reports a heavy de-
mand for designs of immortelles and
prepared flowers for cemetery use.

C. E. Akehurst & Co. had a good cut
of carnations for the holidays. Mrs.
C. E. Akehurst is cutting some good
blooms.

P. B. Welsh had a fine lot of azaleas
in shape for Christmas, and easily dis-
posed of them.

M. J. Hannigan had an exceptionally
fine lot of Richmond roses in addition
to a he cut of other varieties. His
red sold readily at top prices.

The Leo Niessen Co. had some fine

peas and a large quantity of single vio-
lets of good quality, with freesia and
pussy willows that were the first seen
this season,

L, H. A. Klein had a fine lot of aza-
leas in large and medium sizes, which
he sold up well. His peas were also
fine, but he did not have enough to meet
demands,

The rose crop of Stevenson Bros. was
in good time, their Richmond being es-
pecially fine. W. F. E.

NEWABRE, N. J.

The Market.

Christmas business exceeded that of
a year ago with many of the florists,
and with some others was fully up to
that. The weather was fair all through
Christmas week and large crowds
availed themselves of the opportunity
to shop. ‘There was a rush the last
two days and the florists, who had
planned for a good holiday business,
were generally cleaned out. More
money was in circulation than for a
long time. Poinsettias sold fairly well.
A few late chrysanthemums were in
the market. They did not play much
part in the total business. Demand for
carnations was active, but the supply
was short, owing to cloudy weather for
several weeks previous to Christmas
week. Potted azaleas were in great
demand and their quality was excellent.
Roses of good quality were fairly abun-
dant. Easter lilies were fine and
more plentiful. The supply of stevias
equaled the demand. Some fine be-
gonias were seen, but the poor keeping
qualities of these flowers prevented the
ordering of a large supply. A few gar-
denias and a fair number of orchids
were in the market. Sweet peas have
been in the market for several weeks,
but are not yet abundant. Cyclamen
and potted ferns have been in active
demand.

Various Notes.

Fred P. Wolfinger, on account of ill-
ness, is on a trip to Bermuda, accom-
panied by Mrs. Wolfinger. A good
Christmasy trade was reported at Mr.
Wolfinger’s store.

Philips Bros. report that their Christ-
mas trade far exceeded that of last
year. They had an unusually attractive
window.

Davis & Davis, wholesale growers,
East Orange, have a fine lot of rooted
chrysanthemum stock. They report a
big demand for carnations and are cut-
ting some good snapdragons.

Charles J. Connolly reports an active
Christmas trade, including the sale of
a large number of trees.

August Begerow had a striking Christ-
mas window display—a study in red,
green and white.

‘*An unusually fine Christmas trade,
especially for azaleas,’’ was the opinion
expressed at Henry Hornecker’s, in
East Orange. Small trellis boxes of
English ivy sold as fast as they could
be prepared.

F. A. Kuehn says his Christmas busi-
ness was fully fifty per cent better
than that of last year.

Ernest Radany had a good Christmas
business. Cyclamen and _ artificial
wreaths were in active call.

Peter Penek used a window in a va-
cant store, next his flower shop, for a
part of his Christmas display.

Henry Leahy, of Elizabeth, had one
of the most distinctively Christmas

windows ever seen in or around
that city. The main feature of the
exhibit was a miniature church, with
its doors invitingly open and giving a
good view of the illuminated interior.
Sister Helen Marie, of the order of
Sisters of Charity, a teacher in St.
John’s parochial school, Paterson, sis-
ter of Henry Leahy, of Elizabeth, is
dead. R. B. M.

BUFFALO.

The Market.

Buffalo florists are well satisfied with
the results of the busy week of the year.
Some of the stores had a force working
day and night, so as to give ‘all the
needed attention to the orders. Stock
in the first part of the week seemed to
be plentiful, but it was soon found to be
the reverse in almost everything.

Beauties were never better. They

‘have been clearing every day at a good

price. Other roses were sufficient for
the demand early in the week, but were

. scarce at the end. Even white ¢oses

were all sold for more than normal
prices. Of course, red roses were scarce
from start to finish. Carnations were
as scarce as usual for the Christmas sea-
son, selling at a good price. Red car-
nations were particularly scarce. Vio-
lets were much in demand, but the
supply was adequate. Mignonette was
plentiful and was much called for. Gar-
denias and orchids were more than sufii-
cient for the demand. Funeral work
cleared the Easter lilies at a good price
and in some instances it was impossible
to get them. The supply of valley,
sweet peas and hyacinths was about

equal to the demand,

Plants sold well. On account of the
shortage in the azalea supply, other
plants, such as begonias, camellias, ar-
disias, heather, poinsettias and foliage
plants, sold much better than usual.
There seemed to be an unusual call for
boxwood and immortelle wreaths. There
was no lack of greens.

Various Notes.

F. J. Baum had some excellent aza-
lea and begonia plants, which sold like
hot cakes. He is much pleased with
the Christmas season of this year. In
fact, the entire year proved to be a
profitable one to him. A. E.

OBITUARY.

George Dobbs.

George Dobbs, founder of Dobbs &
Son, of Auburn, N. Y., died December
19 at his home, 134 South Division
street, Auburn, a few hours after a par-
alytic stroke.

The deceased was born in England in
1851 and came to this country when a
boy. Early in life he showed an apti-
tude for gardening. In 1876 he visited
England and was married. Upon his
return he entered the employ of John N.
May, of Summit, N. J. It was during
this period that tea roses were grown
for trade for the first time, in Mr. May’s
greenhouses, In 1893 Mr. Dobbs moved
to Auburn and took over the Dunning
greenhouses, on South Division street.
Subsequently the house of Dobbs & Son
was formed, William G. Dobbs, a son,
being the junior partner.

The deceased is survived by his son,
W. G. Dobbs, a member of the 8, A. F.;
a daughter, Mrs, William Hoag, and four
sisters,

DECEMBER 30, 1915.

Cromwell, Conn.—During the geceat
heavy snows two greenhouses of A. N.
Pierson, Inc., partly collapsed under
the excessive weight, which also broke
some glass in other houses,

Montgomery, Ala.—W. C. Cook, who
is employed by the Rosemont Gardens,
says that concern supplied sixty designs
of an average value of $9 each for the
recent funeral of Booker T. Washing-
ton at Tuskeegee; also many cut flow-
ers to other florists who had work for
the same funeral.

Pontiac, Il—‘‘A humdinger!?’’
That’s the kind of a Christmas sales
period W. J. Miller & Son say they
had. Although they had prepared for
an active trade, it far exceeded their
expectations. Their entire force had
to work far into the night during the
final rush. Everything was cleaned up,
the total sales eclipsing those of any
previous Christmas period.

Danvers, Ill—Fire damaged the
greenhouse property of Wellenreiter &
Son, December 22, to the extent of
$5,000, with insurance of $200. All the
stock was either cooked or frozen, ex-
cept that of two houses, which was
saved from freezing, after hard work,
by putting in small stoves. A year ago
the day of the fire the-boiler return
pipe burst and the whole plant froze.

Beacon, N. Y.—James McCall is dead.
He had been foreman for the Hammond
Paint & Slug Shot Works. His body
was taken to Westchester county to be
buried beside that of his wife. As a
young man, in 1884, Mr. McCall came to
Fishkill Landing, as Beacon was for-
merly called, with his family. For these
thirty-one years, without a break, he
was an example of faithful, intelligent
service.

Sioux City, Ia—John O. Freeburg,
manager of J. C. Rennison’s green-
houses, says business was about twenty-
five per cent over that of the previous
Christmas, Poinsettia pans with ferns
were the leading sellers. Cyclamens,
primroses and cinerarias were in good
demand. Roses and carnations were of
good quality and brought fair prices.
Delivery was facilitated by the mild
weather.

De Kalb, Ill.—J. L. Johnson says the
1915 Christmas trade was the largest and
best the florists of this city ever had.
Pot plants were in heavy demand, par-
ticularly poinsettias. The cut flowers
were plentiful, but there were not too
many of them by any means. As every-
thing sold out, the trade has reason to
be thankful.

Niagara Falls, N. Y.—E. A. Butler &
Son had_a double-page advertisement in
the Journal of December 20. It was the
largest florists’ ad that has ever been
run in a Falls paper. The Journal takes
about four inches of space in its reading
columns to comment on this and other
features connected with the ad and the
firm, which is the largest in the city.

Clifton Forge, Va.—The Alleghany
Horticultural Co., Ine., has been ac-
quired by O. C. Ports, who formg¢rly
was general manager of the company.
The establishment consists of four
acres and four greenhouses, each 25x50.
Mr. Ports will operate his range in
connection with the store at Clifton
Forge. The name of the business has
heen changed to Clifton Forge Cut
Flower & Plant Co.

Canal Dover, O.—In the words of C.
Betscher, in reference to the Christmas
trade, ‘‘Everything fit to sell went.’’
Carnations were scarce but of fine qual-
ity; more of them could have been sold.
Roses and violets followed in demand.
Plant sales were much larger than. for
Christmas, 1914. They sold in this or-
der: Cyclamens, begonias, primroses and
ferns. Total sales were decidedly
greater than for the similar period of
1914; prices were about the same.

Fort Smith, Ark.—‘‘One thing nice
about it was that two-thirds were cash
sales, something which never happened
before in my experience,’’ remarked
George Rye, in commenting on his
Christmas sales. Mr. Rye carried a
larger stock than he had ever carried
before, but cleaned up both on plants
and cut flowers. Not only that, but he
had to reorder several times owing to
four funerals that were held either
Christmas or the Sunday following. He
also had two funerals December 27.

Sedalia, Mo.—The greatest Christmas
for florists in the history of this city
has just passed. The Archias Floral Co.
not only has had an unusually profitable
holiday trade, but business throughout
December has been exceptionally brisk,
with as high as ten funerals in one day.
The State Fair Floral Co. had a good
run, its new store being a center of
attraction. Holiday flowers brought
fancy prices in Sedalia. Carnations were
at high-water mark and scarce, retailing
at $1.50 to $2.50 per dozen. Roses sold
freely at $1.50 to $8 per dozen; poin-
settias, $3 to $6.

NEWS NOTES AND COMMENTS

Denver, Colo.—C. F. Maler is erect-
ing a greenhouse at 3914 West Twenty-
ninth avenue, at a cost of $4,000.

Colorado Springs, Colo.—William
Foster, formerly associated with J. F.
Wilcox & Sons, of Council Bluffs, Ia.,
has purchased the Broadmoor Green-
houses and moved his family here. The
change was made on account of Mrs.
Foster’s poor health.

Zanesville, O.—C. L. Humphrey had
to press two auto trucks into service
to help get out deliveries during the
Christmas rush. Little wrapping was
needed for the stock, as the weather
was mild. Mr. Humphrey says it was
the biggest Christmas trade he ever has
had.

Falmouth, Mass.—H. V. Lawrence is-
sued a unique booklet for Christmas.
The cover in red and gold was folded
twice, so that it served as the container
for two separate 8-page leaflets tied
in with ribbon, one leaflet listing
greens, the other cut flowers and plants,
one printed in green ink, the other in
red.

Minneapolis, Minn.—On the occasion
of his tenth anniversary as superintend-
ent of parks of Minneapolis, Theodore
Wirth was tendered a dinner by 200
prominent citizens. The speakers eulo-
gized Mr. Wirth for his ‘‘achievement
in bringing Minneapolis to the foremost
place in the world by the beauty and
art of its park system.’’ Plans for
more neighborhood parks and _ play-
grounds were made after the dinner,
and $200,000 a year for ten years, to
finish the improvements, was recom-
mended by C. M. Loring, who has been
styled the father of the Minneapolis
park system.

Mitchell, S. D—W. T. March, man-
ager for The Newburys’ Mitchell Nurs-
ery & Floral Co., is of an opinion con-
trary to that of those who consider
Chrysanthemum William Turner of
comparatively poor commercial value.
His company had a great deal of suc-
cess in growing this variety last season
and disposed of most of them at from
$5 to $6 a dozen, which is considered a
good price hereabout. This company’s
November trade showed an increase of
almost thirty per cent over November,
1914. It has recently completed a con-
tract with the state of South Dakota
in which it landscaped, planted and
cared for the state capitol grounds for
the last twelve months. ‘‘We consider
this job of more than usual import-
ance,’’ said Manager March, ‘‘ because
of the advertising we derived in hav-
ing it known that in filling the con-
tract we planted 6,000 trees and shrubs,
comprising about 300 varieties; some-
thing unusual for this part of the
ecountry.’’

Wuart can be done to restore the violet
to its old-time popularity as a corsage
flower? Will someone suggest a method?

WITH those who have learned to do
Hadley and Hoosier Beauty well there
seem to be no more popular roses. The
money is in knowing how.

ONE by one buyers are learning that
rarely is the best stock offered with the
lowest price. There are plenty of people
who stand ready to pay for quality.

THERE will not be many retail florists
who will succeed in getting through 1916
without a motor for delivery. Indeed,
there is no other line of business in
which the automobile has been so gener-
ally adopted.

THERE is one legitimate and sure way
of holding competition in check. It is
to give such good stock and such good
service at such reasonable rates that
competition can make no _ headway
against your trilogy.

A PRIORI.

Given a definite factor as cause, the
effect is fairly certain. At least it is
so in publishing. Make the publica-
tion worth while from a reader’s point
of view and at the same time it be-
comes of real value to advertisers.

HONORABLE MENTION.

Not a few subscribers saye 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:

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 are sent.

CHRISTMAS A RECORD.

The Christmas trade reports from the
leading cities, which occupy so large a
part of this issue of The Review, show
that the Christmas business in all parts
of the country has established a new
high record. Indeed, it seems a con-
servative statement that the florists of
the United States did a larger volume
of business last week than in any other
week in the history of the trade.

The best part of the showing is that
the good business was so general; that
all departments of the trade obtained
‘the benefit of a demand that was so
strong-as to clean up practically every-

* thing in sight.
, Everybody is satisfied; yes, more than
satisfied, delighted!

THE CHRISTMAS PLANTS.

The plantsmen have every reason to
be pleased with the Christmas business.
Not only did the growers sell out more
closely than seemed possible, in view
of the extremely large production, but
the retailers who bought the stock also
cleaned up in a wonderful way, assuring
their willingness to take hold again
when the time comes.

Reports show the cyclamen to have
been the most popular as well as the
most abundant plant; it was the sea-
son’s best seller. The primula was sec-
ond choice, but not in large supply.
Azaleas were more numerous than would
have been expected in view of the late
arrival of many shipments. They sold
well, but not so well as the smaller and
less expensive plants. Poinsettias were
largely used in made-up baskets, but by
themselves had to be sold to buyers who
seemed somewhat reluctant to take
them. The flowering plant that required
most pushing was the begonia, from
which an increasing number of buyers
hold aloof. While the call was first for
blooming plants, large quantities of
ferns were sold.

ARE YOU BUSY?

We wouldn’t give a hoot about the
government statistics except that when
other people have good business we flo-
rists get our share. So here goes:

The greatest prosperity message ever
recorded was issued last week when the
Department of Agriculture at Washing-
ton made public the revised crop re-
ports. Never before in the history of
the country have Uncle Sam’s harvests
reached such enormous figures, both as
to production and value, as those of
the 1915 garnering. Based on prices
paid farmers December 1, the total
value of the leading farm products

reaches the astounding figure, $5,280,-
000,000. This exceed& last year’s rec-
ord yield by $415,000,000 and is greater
than the average value of crops during
the five-year period 1909 to 1913 by
$615,000,000.

The value of the 1915 crops as com-
pared with those of last year follow:

And last week imports set a new high
record for the period since Europe
went to war, while exports also sur-
passed any that have gone before, so
that the balance of trade in our favor
wag the largest yet known. Here are

the figures:

CHICAGO.

The Market.

As a fitting climax to what has un-
doubtedly been the best December in
several years, the Christmas business
proved to be the largest in the history
of the Chicago market. This statement
is true, not only with reference to grow-
ers and wholesalers, but applies with
equal force to retailers. As nearly as
can be ascertained at this early date,
there were few retail establishments
that did not make a clean sweep of all
stock. Some of them were obliged to
send buyers to the market repeatedly,
both on Christmas day and the day fol-
lowing, while December 27 found them
all on the market again hunting for
stock.

In striking contrast to the conditions
that prevailed a year ago, there was no
oversupply of stock in any line, while
in carnations it was almost unprece-
dentedly short for this season of the
year. Under conditions such as these,
it was to be expected that many would
find their wants unsatisfied. But it is
safe to say that in the large majority
of cases those who found themselves
unable to secure stock in certain lines,
and stock of but indifferent quality in
other lines, were the ones who make a
practice of not sending in their orders
until the eleventh hour. They invari-
ably suffer when the market is stiff.

The supply of Beauties was, perhaps,
a trifle short of normal and the demand
was strong. Stock, however, had to be
of first-class quality to sell. Fortu-
nately, the greater part of that on the
market could qualify without difficulty.
Eastern Beauties were handled in quan-
ae by two of the wholesale houses.

ontrary to the expectations of many,
the supply of roses was not more than
sufficient to meet the demand, and in
some grades it could not do this. Short-
stemmed stock in particular was not
plentiful enough to go around. As a
matter of course, the Christmas demand
was almost exclusively for the colored
varieties, Russell, Milady, Richmond and
Killarney being in particular favor, but
owing to the epidemic of pneumonia now

raging throughout this part of the coun-
try, funeral work has been heavy enough
to take care of a large proportion of
the white stock received.

The extreme shortage of carnations
had much to do with the way stock in
general cleared. This shortage was so
pronounced that it cannot well be said
that this or that variety was most in
demand, for, as a matter of fact, during :
the last week the demand was for car- 7 . :
nations without regard to variety or Season 8 greetings, friends:

was of little avail as Christmas drew M h ° b f

urged their patrons to order principally
other stock. eae THE HOUSE OF KENNICOTT.

Violets, both double and_ single,
cleared easily. Some houses report dou-
bles as in the lead; others report singles.
The demand for poinsettias was suf-
ficient to handle the supply, which was
not heavy, and all stock was cleared
by Christmas. Orders for sweet peas
were generally cut during the last days
of the rush, as the supply was insuf-
ficient to meet the demand. Valley
cleared daily. Although a week ago
Easter lilies were moved with difficulty,
they cleared without trouble during the
two or three days preceding Christmas.
Callas, too, sold fairly well. Mignonette
and stevia moved satisfactorily. Paper
Whites fell short of the demand.

Romans cleared. Though in good sup- RA
ply, pansies cleared nicely.

C. L. Washburn, of Bassett & Wash-
burn, who says New Year’s orders in
large numbers are being booked. He
believes there will be no surplus of
stock, unless it be in the white flowers.
Although they had a good cut of Belle
Washburn, he says they could not fill
more than one-quarter of the orders for
it. Hugh Woel, one of the stand-bys
in this establishment, is confined to his
home with the grip.

It is not so many years ago that
Easter was the big day of the year, so
it will be interesting to note that the
E. C. Amling Co. did sixty-five per cent
more business for. Christmas than for
last Easter.

The street floor store at 211 North
State street, between Lake and South
Water streets, now is headquarters for
A. Henderson & Co. The move is sig-
nificant because of the opportunity it
presents of entering the retail field. It

is possible ‘‘Henderson’s Seeds and
Plants’? now may become a household
phrase among north-siders.

Richmond was largely responsible for
the record business at Peter Reinberg’s,
where, it is said, 1,200 boxes were
shipped out last week. The store was
open practically continuously from
Wednesday morning to Saturday noon.
Manager Felix Reichling did not go
home for four nights.

The many friends of Mrs. Charles W.
McKellar will learn with regret she did
not have a merry Christmas, having
been attacked the day before by a se-
vere case of the grip.

That Christmas week gave his firm a
total of sales nearly twenty per cent
ahead of the best previous record, with
the same area of glass,,N. J. Wietor
credits to a fine crop of Beauties. Mr.
Wietor says he is having the Beauties
left on the plants to develop quite a

little more than has been the custom in
this market and believes the retailers
thereby get best results with the stock.

The house of Kennicott Bros. Co. cele-
brates the rounding out of its thirty-
second year this winter. The celebra-
tion is most opportune, according to
H. B. Kennicott, for last week was the
best week in the best December of the
best year the house has enjoyed in its
long existence. Surely, this is saying
much. Mrs. Flint Kennicott and her
daughter, mother and sister of H. B.
Kennicott, have completed arrangements
to leave during the second week in Janu-
ary for the Kennicott winter home in
Florida.

In the opinion of W. J. Keimel, of
Wendland & Keimel, Elmhurst, the last
three months of 1915 were as good as
the first nine months put together. If
this can be accepted as any criterion of

may expect 1916 to average at least FLORISTS ATTENTION |
fifty per cent better than this year. —— a

A report comes from Charles A. John-
son, 3205 Fullerton avenue, of a com-
plete Christmas clean-up. He not only
disposed of all stock purchased for the
occasion, but succeeded in selling a
Canned of accessories held over from

hristmas a year ago.

This has proved, not only the best
December the Chicago Flower Growers’
Association has had, but the best month
in its whole experience, according to
Manager Paul Klingsporn.

Miss Anna O’Neil, bookkeeper for
George Reinberg, has the sympathy of
the trade in the loss of her father by
pneumonia just before Christmas. Man-
ager Robert Northam’s little daughter
is slowly recovering from a siege of
scarlet fever. Frank Hagen has been
home for several days, suffering with
the grip.

First prize for Christmas increase
probably goes to Erne & Klingel, who
say their sales last week were a little
more than double those of the same
week in 1914.

The greatly increased volume of
Christmas business enjoyed by Sinner
Bros., according to John Sinner, has
more than justified their judgment in

The Buettner lilies always are good,
never late and never too early. Fore-
man Earl, who has been on the job
twenty-seven years, knows how to get
the whole batch ready to cut at one
time.

In connection with the construction
of a unique community building at Sher-
idan road and Grace street, to cost over
$400,000, Albert Fuchs, well known for-
mer florist, has arranged with the Hiber-
nian bank for a loan of $290,000 for ten
years at five and one-half per cent.

Record has been made of the transfer
by Joseph Trinz, former florist, to the

North Edgewater Amusement Co., of the
theater property in Broadway near
Granville avenue, for an indicated con-
sideration of $120,000, subject to an
incumbrance of $100, 000.

That good may be derived from a
mistake has been discovered by Philip
Schupp, manager of the J. A. Budlong
wholesale house. December 23 a ship-
ment of carnations, consisting of En-
chantress, Perfection and Ward, left
the house for a point in a neighboring
state. By some inadvertence the box
was missent and returned December
28. When the box was opened the flow-

ers were in excellent condition, stiff
and of good color. Mr. Schupp says
that it pleased him to see how well his
stock had traveled.

The opening of the new year will
probably find Miss Agatha Greeley in
her accustomed place in the office of
the John Kruchten Co., where she has
been greatly missed. This company re-
ports a most gratifying Christmas
business.

C. B. Le Mer, of Simpson’s Flower
Shop, 3656 Ogden avenue, went home
Christmas with an attack of the grip,
but the rush of business became so

Speaking of high Christmas prices,
Joseph Foerster, of Kyle & Foerster,
says he can remember when there were
more Beauty orders than could be filled
at $1.50 per flower.

Work was started December 27 on a
big boarding house, 20x80 feet, being
erected by the American Greenhouse
Mfg. Co., to accommodate its workmen
engaged in building the new Albert F.
Amling Co. greenhouses at Maywood.
This temporary boarding house will
contain beds for forty men and eating
room for fifty. To make it homelike,
it will be heated and electric lighted.
A cook and two assistants have been
engaged. On the afternoon preceding
Christmas the last post for the new
houses was set. The constructors are
to be congratulated on this, for it looks
like a speed record, as there are about fi

The Christmas Market.

It was not a white Christmas. It
came near being one, though, so nearly
so that the children got a little sledding
the day after. That it was not a white
Christmas was a great blessing to the
workers, for it made delivery easy. Be-
sides, there was so much warmth in the
air that little wrapping was needed. It
was an old-time Christmas—one of the
kind that seemed unlikely to return.
Nobody thought of whether plants or
cut flowers sold best, of what was in
oversupply or what dragged. Every-
body had just as much to do as he
could possibly manage; he did it and it
was a great Christmas. Everything sold
at satisfactory prices. That is the big,
broad way of putting it. A Christmas
that was equal to anything that we have
ever had, with a little added. There is
the truth in a nutshell. The weather
during the days preceding Christmas was
remarkably favorable: Clear and cold
without being severe. It became a good
deal warmer on the day before Christ-
‘mas, but that made no difference. The
‘usual dullness that precedes a holiday
‘was not noticed in the cut flower mar-
‘ket this time. There was no accumula-
tion of flowers on Wednesday or Thurs-

red rose. The price was from $30 to

grades at $12, $15, $20 and $25 per
hundred in most active demand. Good
judges thought that red roses did not
command so strong support as in
former years, Hadley, though popular,
was not an important factor. Killarney
was the leading pink rose. The prices
ruled lower than formerly, $6 to $12 be-
ing the popular prices for the salable
grades, ranging from short through me-
dium to long. A little fancy stock well
finished brought $15 per hundred, while
some specials from Roelofs and from
Yardley brought $20. White Killarney
sold rather better than usual this sea-
son, but did not bring the high price of
Killarneys. Ophelia and Sunburst did
well at from $6 to $15, while Ward was
in favor from $6 to $12. Maryland was
popular at about the Killarney figures,
though less plentiful.

varieties, in all colors, were popular at
from $2.50 to $3 for the former and
$1.50 to $2 for the latter. Chrysanthe-

finished. Stevia was in heavy supply.
Snapdragon was well liked at from 75
cents to $2 per dozen in long-stemmed
flowers. Paper Whites, mignonette.
daisies and narcissi, the two latter in
yellow, were eagerly taken. Callas ad-
vanced to $2.50 per dozen, occasionally
making $3. Poinsettias were marketed
in large numbers at from $1.50 to $3
per dozen; it took fine stock to bring
high prices. There seemed to be rather
more demand than usual at the holiday
for asparagus and for smilax.

Christmas Plants.

The improvement in strain and in
culture has placed the cyclamen at the
head of the list of Christmas plants.
The demand for this variety of flower-
ing plant was extraordinary; the quan-
tity sold was simply enormous. Poin-
settias and the various types of bego-
nias came next, while there were plenty
of azaleas and primulas to lend variety.
Berried plants and oranges of the Ota-
heite variety were in much favor.
Brightly colored foliage plants, like cro-
tons and dracenas, had a great run,
especially the crotons. Ferns were re-
sponsible for heavy trading. The speci-
men and the basket sizes were pre-
ferred to the medium-sized plants. The
plants suitable for making up in ham-
pers, vases, jardinieres and baskets were
in strong demand. Taken all in all, the

The Serious Side.

There was one unfortunate feature of
the cut flower business at Christmas
that cast a shadow over the general
satisfaction. This was the delay in
transit that caused a number of orders
to be lost. They arrived too late. Most
of these orders were shipped December
22 and most of them should have reached

most cases due to the congestion caused
by heavy Christmas traffic. The blame
is placed on the Pennsylvania railroad
for its failure to give the Adams Ex-

and thus save thousands of dollars.

The Market Since Christmas.

There is a much healthjére- fone in the
market at present than is:often seen
during the Christmas holidays. There
is a fair demand with only a moderate
supply of flowers. Prices are a little
lower than at Christmas, but not nearly
so low as might be expected. Medium
grade roses and carnations have held
up well.

culine employees at dinner at the Bing-

29. The occasion was the twenty-eighth
anniversary of the company’s business

livery facilities simply could not do the
work, even though there was more ad-
vance buying this season than I have
ever seen before. The stock in most
cases was moved to the stores on Tues-
day, when the delivery of early orders
began. Wednesday was a rush from
morning until night and many of the
help did not go to sleep until morning.
Thursday and Friday were the big days.
Every retailer was well prepared for the
heavy business and, aside from cut flow-
ers, there was no shortage of stock. By
noon December 24 roses became scarce
in most of the stores and carnations
were about sold out.

Begonias were not so numerous as
formerly, some of the largest growers
having discarded them entirely. Aza-
leas were plentiful, but did not sell so
well as cyclamens. The latter were
plentiful and, in general, were of ex-
ceptional quality. Many of the best
cyclamens sold at $2 and up. Poinset-
tias were plentiful and sold well, but
they were not cleaned up. Still, no one
can complain, for there were not so
many of them left over that they cannot
be disposed of later. One feature this
Christmas was the small number of
made-up baskets as compared with re-
cent years. Another thing that was no-
ticeable in all of the stores was the
large number of men employed for the
rush, Usually girls have been employed,
but this year men were the rule.

Various Notes.

The Hillcrest School Farm was some-
what disappointed in the results of
Christmas, having sold a few home-
grown hyacinth bulbs to be in bloom for
the holidays. Some of the growers had
them in good shape, while others were a
week too late. As the matter stands,
they cannot be sure whether Tennessee-
grown hyacinths will make Christmas
or not.

McIntyre Bros. had their large plant
sales house filled to overflowing a week
before Christmas, making the best dis-
play of plants I have ever seen in the
city. It pays to have a house for this
purpose where it can be erected in con-
nection with a retail store. This con-
cern’s roses were exceptionally good,
especially Hoosier Beauty. They sold
this rose on 4-foot stems and cut more
than 20,000 carnations for Christmas
week,

The Joy Floral Co. had two houses
full of the best cyclamens ever grown in
Nashville. There was the usual show-
ing of high-grade poinsettias and the
American Beauty roses on display were
fully up to requirements. The Ophelia
rose was another. strong feature with
this company. In spite of an exception-
ally heavy supply, the carnations and
roses were sold out long before the holi-
day business closed.

Geny Bros. were strong on azaleas and
roses. Azaleas were the feature of their
business and they certainly moved them
easily. Leo Geny said that they never
had a better cut of high-grade roses for
the holiday trade than this year and
that they had to wire for more before
the Christmas trade was over.

Haury & Sons had a good run of busi-
ness as a swan song at the old stand.
They will move this week to what ap-
pears to be a better location.

J. F. Corbett cleaned up every cut
flower and most of his pot plants two
days before Christmas. He sold them
mostly at wholesale. F. B.

The Market.

This Christmas goes on record as the
best the trade ever had. Everyone has
a report of an increase in sales, both
wholesalers and retailers. Pot plants
brought a good price. There was small
demand for pot plants of the 25, 35 and
50-cent stock, which had a big run last
year. Plants at 75 cents and up
had the heaviest call and plants at
from $2 to $4 were the favorites. It
is hard to say what pot plant was the
most popular; cyclamens, azaleas and
begonias all were cleaned up. Poin-
settias were a little slow, but they were
bought up quite closely toward Christ-
mas day. There is a report that the
growers have increased their pot plant
space this fall about one-third over
that of last year.

There was a large supply of cut flow-
ers on the market and all were cleaned
up at.a favorable price. As a whole,
stock of all kinds was good and fresh,
except that there were a few pickled
carnations which brought only a low
price. The delivery service was inter-
fered with somewhat by the three
inches of snow that fell early on the
morning of December 24. With the
thermometer at 36 degrees all day,
plants required little wrapping. One
thing the retailers had to be thankful
for this year was the early delivery.
One-third of the orders were delivered
December 23, which has never before
happened in this city. One reason for
this was that a great many people
went out of the city and took plants
or cut flowers with them, and a great
many cut flowers and plants went to
sick people. There was too much holly
in this market, although a fair price
was obtained for each case. Several

cars more Christmas trees could have
been sold. Holly wreaths sold well and
were all cleaned up. The red frieze
wreaths sold well, more than twice the
amount of last year.

Various Notes.

Samuel Murray had a fine Christmas
‘business and sold more baskets of cut
flowers and pot plants than in any
previous year, especially orchid baskets,
which went better than was antici-
pated. Begonias sold well.

The W. L. Rock Flower Co. had
about one-third more pot plants than
ever before and all were sold. The cut
flowers were plentiful, but were cleaned
up before noon.

Arthur Newell reports an increase in
the sale of pot plants, while cut flow-
ers went about the same, or a little
better than last year. He says the new,
large delivery car is the one that gets
orders out in good time and that com-
plaints about time of delivery are un-
heard of.

The Geo. M. Kellogg Flower & Plant
Co. had a fine run on all lines of stock.
A slight increase was noted all the way
around. Funeral work made them hus-
tle to get it out and attend to Christ-
mas orders at the same time. Cycla-
mens and azaleas were thé main pot
plants with them.

The Alpha Floral Co. reports a
twenty-five per cent increase in the
Christmas business. Both the delivery
and sales forces were increased to take
care of the orders.

Miss Lou Boggess had a fine line of
basket arrangements and all were sold.

Miss Jennie Murray reports that she
had all the business she could attend

to and was glad to see Christmas night
come.

W. J. Barnes had a busy week. The
first of the week he made a large
blanket of violets and stevia. His
Christmas trade was the best he ever
had, and he had a fine lot of pot plants
to do the business. All cyclamens sold
out quickly, some of the plants having
as high as forty blooms on them,

Edward Humfeld also had a busy
week. He put out a design in which
he used over 300 orchids. Azaleas were
the chief seller with him. Basket work
was more in demand than last year.

J. Austin had a good run on the
luminosa type of begonias. He had a
fine lot of them in 5-inch pots and‘ they
sold themselves. A big business was
done at the greenhouses as well as at
the store.

Mrs. T. A. Moseley reports that the
$1 to $3 plants were the chief sellers
with her. W. J. Bz

FORT WAYNE, IND.

The Market.

A beautiful white Christmas, with
ten inches of snow, and the thermometer
around the freezing point, describes the
holiday we enjoyed in this locality. I
say ‘‘enjoyed’’ advisedly, for nothing
could have contributed to our Christmas
business so much as the Christmas spirit
the snow brought with it on Christmas
eve, and the facility and absence of
anxiety caused by the moderate tem-
perature in delivering flowers and plant
orders. Business was lively a full week
before Christmas. People were never
known to have done their Christmas
shopping in the flower stores so early.
This eliminated much of the rush of
the last day cr two.

The general opinion expressed of the
Christmas business is ‘‘The best for
years.’’ After this profitable holiday
trade even the most pessimistic of flo-
rists must acknowledge the great im-
provement of conditions over the last
year and a half of apparent depression.
While there was a record sale of plants
for the holiday, the cut flower business
was enormous. With the exception of red
carnations and red roses, in which sup-
ply was just equal to the demand, there
was a good assortment of all kinds and
varieties of flowers. Roses outdid every

other flower in popularity, especially
the Shawyer, Richmond, Rhea Reid and
Russell varieties.

American Beauties were exceedingly
high and Russell roses in many instances
were sold in their stead at more rea-
sonable prices and in greater quantities
than Beauties could have been sold,
thereby benefiting the local growers of
this magnificent rose— Beauties are
shipped in. Carnations met with a fine
demand and the variety boxes were
popular. Corsage work has been ex-
ceptionally heavy the last year; espe-
cially was it so before Christmas, as
there were several large receptions and
dances. Violets were in great demand
for these, and brought $4 per hundred.
Valley and orchids met with a heavy
call and were plentiful. Sweet peas,
rose buds, hyacinths and swainsona were
heavily in demand for corsages.

In the plant trade azaleas, cyclamens
and poinsettias took the lead, although
there was a big demand for Scotch
heather plants, the French variety of
Erica Japonica, Glory of Cincinnati be-
gonias, primulas, hyacinths, Jerusalem
cherries and Dutch holly. Foliage
plants, crotons, ferns and small palms
sold extremely well. In Christmas
greens many cases of southern smilax,
holly, silatlotos: boxwood and large
quantities of heather and ruscus were
sold. Wreaths were as popular as ever,
and baskets of Christmas greens sold
like hot cakes. Altogether it was an
unusually satisfactory Christmas, and
the florists are tired but happy.

Various Notes.

Mrs. Cecil Max, of Mobile, Ala., is
spending the holidays here, the guest of
her father, Judge W. J. Vesey. The
W. J. & M. S. Vesey greenhouses had
a rushing Christmas in both the whole-
sale and retail departments. Over 1,000
orchids were cut from these houses, in
the Cattleya Triane and Cattleya Per-
civaliana varieties. Their fine lot of
roses were Shawyer, Richmond and Sun-
burst. Carnations were also plentiful
in all colors. In the retail department
corsage work was in great demand. The
plant trade in poinsettias, Cincinnati
begonias, cyclamens and baskets was ex-
ceptionally good.

The Doswell Floral Co. reports a fine
Christmas trade at both stores, averag-
ing far above the receipts for last year.
It was completely sold out of plants,
and its stock embraced many hundreds
of cyclamens, begonias and poinsettias.
The corsage work was unusually heavy.

The Shawyer, Sunburst, Killarney and

The greenhouses of Frank Knecht &

surpassing the Beauties.

D. W. Bitner, of the south side, had

The Christmas Trade.

The Christmas business of 1915 may
be recorded as the most satisfactory of
recent years. Some of the leading flo-
rists say it went beyond expectations.
The weather was splendid up to Decem-
ber 24, when a heavy snow storm set
in. This caught many retailers with
deliveries to make and called for con-
siderable wrapping of packages.

The demand for plants far exceeded
the call for cut flowers, and brightly
colored plants, such as poinsettias, Lor-
raine begonias and azaleas, had first
call, Fruited orange and dwarf holly
trees had a big demand. Fine holly
was plentiful; ground pine sold well

the greater call. These seem to have
replaced the usual holly wreath in
many of the fashionable homes. The
demand for small-sized wreaths for au-
tomobiles far exceeded the supply.

The cut flowers had a big demand.
Stock of all kinds was scarce and prices
high. Everybody wanted carnations,
but the supply was far short of the de-
mand. The carnations, however, were
fine and some made $10 per hundred.
Some extra fancy.zed brought $12 per
hundred. Roses were fine and equal in
supply to the demand. Some good Rus-
sell, Hoosier Beauty, Hadley, Ward and
Ophelia were seen and a splendid lot
of Killarney were brought to this mar-
ket. Only a limited number of home-
grown violets came in, but most retail-
ers were well supplied with these direct
from California. These arrived in splen-
did condition and when rebunched
brought good prices, Bulbous stock came
in for quite a demand. Extra fine Paper
Whites were plentiful. Valley sold well
at its usual price; some extra fancy,
however, brought $1 more per hundred.
These, with a good supply of lilies, com-

osed the bulb stock that arrived for
hristmas. Romans for the first time
in years were absent. Sweet peas had
an unusually lerge demand at high
prices. Cut poinsettias sold readily at
$3 per dozen. There was the usual good
supply of greens. Asparagus had the
greatest demand and adiantum also
sold well.

The high prices asked for cut stock
caused many of the retailers to push
plants, which will continue to be done
as long as the high prices prevail for
the holidays. Retailers protested when
the wholesalers announced they would
close Saturday noon and not open until
Monday morning, as many were sold
out Christmas day and were caught
short on Sunday.

Christmas Notes.

Among the west end florists, the show
houses of F. C. Weber, Kalisch Bros.
Floral Co., F. H. Weber, Sanders and
Young were all cleaned out by noon
Christmas day. They say it was the
best plant Christmas in years, with
poinsettias leading, though anything
choice sold rapidly.

Floral. Co., on Grand avenue, report
being cleaned out completely, while

Schoenle say they had all they could
possibly handle during the last three
days.

The Bentzen Floral Co. and the Mul-
lanphy Florists report extraordinary
business in all lines.

Miss Neuman reports a big holiday
trade, especially in plants.

Ostertag Bros. said: ‘‘We had all
we could attend to all the week.’’

The C. Young & Sons Co. had a grand
display of stock and report plenty of
business.

Grimm & Gorly, Mullanphy and the

‘Riessen Floral Co., downtown retailers,

say this was surely one of the best
Christmases in years, notwithstanding
the big snow storm December 24, which
caused many to shop nearer home.
They look forward to a good business
for New Year’s.

Various Notes.

Prof. H. C. Irish, vice-president of
the Missouri State’ Horticultural So-
ciety, is a busy man these days, making
preparations for the meeting of the so-
ciety to be held January 12 to 14, at

the Planters’ hotel. Programs have
been mailed to all florists. January
13 will be Florists’ day. Jules

Bourdet, Adolph Jaenicke, W. W. Ohl-
weiler and Frank A. Weber will read
papers that day.

Carl Doerflinger, gardener for James
T. Keller, Overland, Mo., has his new
conservatory, recently completed by
the Robert Thomson Co., stocked with
decorative and blooming "plants.

The County Growers’ Association
will hold its new year meeting Janu-
ary 5 at the Eleven Mile House. Secre-
tary Joseph Deutschmann says there
will be a general review of the Christ-
mas business. Vice-president Edwards
will preside over the meeting in the
absence of President Ude, Jr., who is
in Florida.

Mrs. Jules Bourdet wishes, through
The Review, to thank all the florists
who donated plants and cut flowers to
the recent French bazaar held at
Dreamland. The sale of these dona-
tions greatly increased the funds of the
relief association.

J. F. Ammann, of Edwardsville, IIl.,
vice-president of the American Carna-
tion Society and chairman of the local
executive committee, says his commit-
tee will hold weekly meetings until the
opening of the Carnation Society’s con-
vention, January 26. W. J. Pilcher’s

The Christmas Market.

Christmas trade was a surprise to
everyone, and a pleasant surprise at
that. I have failed to find a solitary
grower, retailer or wholesaler who does
not report splendid trade, and in prac-
tically every case far ahead of all pre-
vious records. The week ending Decem-
ber 18 was decidedly dull, but Christmas
week started in with improved buying
and, as the great holiday drew nearer,
a perfect cyclone of orders poured in,
far ahead: of all expectations. On
Christmas morning a visit to the whole-
sale markets and retail stores showed
hardly any flowers and only a small
number of plants left over.

The plant trade was splendid. Com-
paratively mild weather greatly favored
shippers, rendering heavy wrapping
needless for short shipments. Azaleas
sold in great quantities; so did cycla-
mens, Cincinnati begonias and ericas.
Poinsettias sold vastly better than a
year ago, when severely cold weather
hurt their sale. Oranges, solanums and
ardisias cleaned up well. Of hollies in
tubs there were a few unsold, as usual.
Made-up pans and baskets of foliage,
flowering and berried plants were in
good demand. All plant growers declare
it was easily the best Chyistuins they
ever had,

Coming to cut flowers, there was a
fine clean-up of practically everything.
Select Beauties made $9 to $12 per
dozen, and were not abundant. Other
grades sold at from $8 to $50 per hun-
dred. Ophelia, Russell, Hadley, Crim-
son Queen, D ’ Arenberg, Francis Scott
Key, Shawyer, Stanley and Sunburst
made from $6 to $32 per hundred, some
select reds going higher. Double White
Killarney, Killarney Queen, Ward, Taft,
Killarney Brilliant, etc., made from $5
to $24 per hundred. There was a good

all good flowers sold as high as $3.
Chrysanthemums made their final bow.

Valley sold all the way from $3 to $6.
Cattleya Percivaliana made $6 and C.
Triane $9 to $12 per dozen. Gardenias
sold at $6. Asparagus and adiantum had
only a moderate call. For wreathing,
holly and laurel wreaths, the demand
was the best ever.

December 27 saw a fair supply of
flowers, thanks to the remarkably mild
weather prevailing over the holidays.
There was considerable recession in
prices and not a good demand, but. this
is something always to be looked for
after a holiday, and everyone is opti-
mistic.

Various Notes.

H. M. Robinson & Co. say they never
saw anything like the demand at this
Christmas. Not only were they cleaned
out of flowers, but supplies of greens
which they had bought proved quite in-
adequate and they had to buy right and
left to try to fill orders.

The W. W. Edgar Co. had hardly a
salable flowering plant left over. Buy-
ing started with a vengeance earlier

than usual and the men had hard work
to cope with the orders.

F. J. Dolansky had about 2,000 gar-
denias and several thousand Cattleya
Percivaliana and Triane and all cleaned
up at first-class prices.

The Welch Bros. Co. ice chests on
Christmas morning looked as though a
cyclone had struck them. They were
never so bare; business proved a record-
breaker in all lines,

Harry Quint said he did nearly treble
the business at his Boylston street store
as compared with that of a year ago on
Tremont street.

Peirce Bros., of Waltham, had a fine
lot of Ophelia, D’Arenberg, Crimson
Queen and Mile. Cecile Brunner roses;
also, azalea plants and a nice cut of
cattleyas.

The annual inaugural meeting of the
Massachusetts Horticultural Society will
be held January 8. The president’s ad-
dress, treasurer’s report and reports of
the committees will interest all members
who can attend. A large attendance is
hoped for.

The Budlong Rose Co. handled 60,000
roses for Christmas and could have sold
many more. They had a splendid cut
of red varieties.

At Penn’s two stores a remarkable
business was done. It was a case of
night and day work with a largely aug-
mented staff to get out the avalanche of
orders. A. L. Boch, formerly with Wax

Flowers for All Occasions, from Cradle to Grave

Bros., is now at Penn’s Bromfield
street store.

J. T. Butterworth still had a good
lot of Cattleya labiata for Christmas, in
addition to Percivaliana and. Triane;
also Vanda cerulea, Lelia anceps and
cypripediums.

The mild weather and clear skies fa-
vored business and the plantsmen ap-
preciated it. On Christmas day, 1914,
the maximum was 18 degrees and the
minimum +6 degrees below zero. In
1915 the maximum was 60 degrees and
the minimum 45 degrees. What a con-
trast!

The Boston Cut Flower Co. did a
splendid business. Azaleas were the
leaders in plants, but all flowers sold
well, as did made-up Christmas baskets.

At Patrick Welch’s, as elsewhere in
the wholesale section, the avalanche of
buying cleaned up practically every-
thing, hardly a flower being visible on
Christmas day. The shipments of Rus-
sell, Hadley, Sunburst, Mrs. Moorfield
Storey and Mrs. Bayard Thayer from
the Waban Rose Conservatories were
of magnificent quality, and Killarney
and White Killarney were the finest
seen here.

The store of Wax Bros. on Christmas
day was a hive of industry. To fill or-
ders it was found necessary, to sell
ractically every plant, flower and

asket in the large, beautifully ar-
ranged windows.

The installation of officers and la-
dies’ night at the meeting of the Gar-
deners’ and Florists’ Club of Boston,
January 18, will attract the usual
bumper attendance. A fine entertain-
ment is being arranged for.

At Galvin’s Back Bay and Park
street stores trade in both plants and
cut flowers exceeded all previous
Christmas records. Purchasers were
willing to pay higher prices all along
the line.

Thomas Roland sold everything in
the way of flowering and fruiting

A FULLERTON GROWER.

Bigger business at the old quarters
of the Robertson Nurseries, Fullerton,
Cal., placed elbow room at such a high
premium that T. D. Robertson was
obliged to erect a new range on Com-
monwealth avenue. The illustration on
this page gives the street view of the
new establishment, which consists of
three greenhouses and a lath house of
one acre.

Mr. Robertson for many years was
associated with the Orange County
Nursery & Land Co., but in 1910 he pur-
chased the nursery, seed and flower de-
partments of the company and founded
the present business.

BEWARE OF SULPHUR FUMES.

We are sending you under separate
cover a leaf taken from one of our
kentias and a portion of the soil in
which the palms are grown. During
the last two months the kentias have
suffered from a sudden death of
the foliage, and as we have been un-
able to ascertain the cause of the trou-
ble we would like to have you diagnose
the case. :

The plants are on the shady side of
a rose house, in a temperature of 58 to
70 degrees, and are grown on a raised
bench covered with cinders. The soil
was taken from an old orchard near
the range. The steam pipes in the
house have frequently been painted
with sulphur and the water used con-
tains some alkali.

_ The trouble, however, has not been
confined to the kentias; Primula ob-
conica, P. malacoides, solanum, Chinese
pepper and the Whitmani fern have
been subject to the same attack. The
azaleas, carnation plants and cuttings
have dead points on their foliage. Our
cyclamen appear to be affected by the
same trouble. The flowers have black
spots; in fact, some are so black that
they are unsalable. Do you think our
trouble can be attributed to the alkali

in the water? A. F. H.—Wash.

Your trouble is undoubtedly due to
using too much sulphur on the steam
pipes, the kentia leaf showing just such
an injury as could be expected from
such a cause. It is easy to overdo the
sulphur treatment on the pipes, par-
ticularly so where steam is the heating
medium. If the sulphur is not already
burned off the pipes, it probably would
pay you to wash it off, or scrub the
pipes with a stiff brush.

Sulphur is an excellent mildew rem-
edy, but the majority of foliage plants
will not stand exposure to its fumes.

LOS ANGELES.

The Market.

Hopes and fears for the holiday trade
soon will be all over and the Christmas
of 1915 looks like a breaker of records
for business done. The shortage in aza-
leas was, in'a manner, an advantage, for
it showed the value of other plants for
Christmas use. Incidentally it also
showed the value of held-over plants.

New Establishment of T. D. Robertson, at Fullerton, Cal.

The growers who took care of the latter,
instead of allowing them to lie around
and be neglected all summer, reaped the
advantage in a useful lot of stock.
Erica melanthera, both locally grown
and from a distance, was good and found
a ready sale. Poinsettias generally were
not so good as usual, though there was
an excellent lot of small, showy stock
in 4-inch pots and even smaller. Be-
gonia Glory of Cincinnati and Chatelaine
proved to be good sellers and some of
the former kind seen in the best retail
stores were far and away the finest ever
seen in this city. As usual, there was a
lack of mixed baskets of quality, the

taste apparently running to single, large
plants rather than to made-up combina-
tions. Cyclamens were excellent as a
whole, though probably the finest plants
shown were not quite up to the high
average of those of a year ago.

Ferns were in great demand both as
specimens and small stock for dishes.
The Bird’s-nest fern is popular and the
old Piersoni seems to be gaining lost
ground, though for general purposes the
Boston fern is still: hard to _ beat.
Araucaria plumosa is one of the best
sellers of the excelsa type and a good
many plants changed hands this year.

Cut flowers were equal to the demand

in almost every case, the only shortage
being in good roses. Carnations were
good and there was in some cases little
to choose between the indoor and the
outdoor-grown flowers. Although a
shortage was predicted, there seemed to
be none in valley, a good deal of potted
stock being sent in as well as cut flow-
ers. There was a brisk demand for
orchids and apparently plenty of flowers
to fill it. In greens there was appar-
ently enough for everybody. Good Eng-
lish holly was high. in price, but the
material was fine indeed, well berried
and with the true deep glossy green,
prickly foliage. Mahonia or Oregon
grape, as it is locally termed, was in
evidence.
Various Notes.

Now that H. W. Turner can make no
further improvements in his houses, he
has begun work outside and planted a
large collection of trees, shrubs and
conifers. These in a short time will
make a pretty feature and it is notable
that he has secured as many dis-
tinct kinds as possible. Mr. Turner re-
ports an immense demand for the
Prima Donna rose this season. Those
who have found fault with the name
will probably recall the fact that for
a long time Mr. Turner bracketed the
original name—Mme. P. Euler—with
the more widely known one, under which
it was shown and certificated at New
York.

At the Wolfskills’ & Morris Golden-
son store there will have to be an ad-
dition made if the business keeps on in-
creasing. The Christmas showing of

One of the most pleasing features of
the plant business this holiday was
the exquisite plants of Erica melan-
thera brought in by J. Dieterich. They
were not extra large and, consequently,
not high in price. They were sym-
metrical, full of flower and nicely fin-

with proper care, be made to do good

course, in addition to this year’s im-

Just as F. Borden, of the Redondo

siege of grip, his partner, Albert Knopf,
was taken down with it, or with some-

SAN FRANCISCO.

The Market.

The retailers are congratulating them-
selves on a successful Christmas season;
some of the large shops had to add
many extra hands. Plants and greens
have been the heaviest items in the
sales. Asparagus Sprengeri, smilax, cut
adiantum, Mexican ivy, etc., as well as
redwood greens, have moved in great
quantities. English holly of excellent
quality has been plentiful and cheap,
largely replacing native red berries at
the better shops. Good mistletoe also
is abundant. As for plants, excellent
cyclamen, begonias and primulas were
in good supply and no serious shortage
of other stock was experienced, most
of the retailers having placed their or-
ders in good time. Poinsettias and aza-
leas were far from plestiful, compara-
tively few of the former coming from
San Diego. Much of the stock offered
was fine and brought good prices. A
small lot of bush bougainvilleas was
well received. All ferns sold well and
many small holly trees were disposed of.

Cut flowers of most kinds are plenti-
ful, but prices hold fairly firm. Carna-
tions, however, have dropped, with a
big cut, and retailers are buying heav-
ily. There were more mums last week
than the week previous, including some
fair stock, but they moved slowly and
few were shown in the larger stores.
Supplies of stocks, marigolds and mig-
nonette are ample and there is a nice
cut of freesias, Paper Whites and daffo-
dils. More Easter lilies have appeared.
The Christmas supply of valley, both
cut and in flats, was fair. Rose busi-
ness has been active. Ophelia fully
held its own, the extra cut of Beauties
was well absorbed and Killarney was in
good demand. Cecile Brunner was in
heavy demand, with only a limited cut.
Favorable weather brought out plenty
of violets for the shipping trade, which
was really enormous, and there was a

ood stock left for the local market.

ardenias showed further improvement
and sold readily, and orchids of many
kinds, both plants and flowers, were
strongly featured by several shops.

Various Notes.

One of the most interesting events of
the week was the breaking up of the
so-called carnation trust, or pool, of the
Japanese growers, which has been prac-
tically in control of the market for the
greater part of the year. This event
took place December 22 and resulted in
comparatively easy prices for the holi-
day trade, as it was every man for
himself among the growers.

B. M. Joseph’s second Christmas sea-
son was a great success. Fred Bertrand,
who manages the flower and plant end
of the work, worked out an efficient de-

interior of the store was rearranged for

were arranged in great banks in the

branch store, as was done last year, but
an extra storage room in a basement
across the street was occupied with a
big stock of plants, which were well
sold out before Christmas.

Pelicano, Rossi & Co. opened a branch
for the holiday season at 133-135 Sutter
street, with a fine assortment of plants,
in addition to their large stock at the
Kearny street store. Orchids, both cut
and plants, were an important part of
this shop’s decoration and many of them
were sold. These were mostly from the
J. A. Carbone place. Frank Pelicano
expects within a few weeks to bring in
a good cut of the new violets which he
showed for the first time last year,
having planted enough to make a nice
showing this season. .

Mr. Ishida, of Shibuya & Ishida, of
Menlo Park, comments on the extent
to which plants have taken the place
of cut flowers in the Christmas trade
here within the last few years. For-
merly, he says, it was possible to sell
a good cut of chrysanthemums on the
holiday market, but now nobody seems
. to want them. This firm has a plant-
ing of about 25,000 freesias from which
they will soon begin cutting.

E. James, of Oakland, sent in a nice
lot of potted bougainvilleas in bush
form, which are rather a novelty here
and have attracted some attention, the
glossy foliage and brilliant mass of

bloom making them attractive for.

Christmas.

The E. W. McLellan Co.’s holiday
shipments of violets were so heavy that
the express company had to put on an
extra car.

Milton Tonini now has full control of
the Bay Counties Seed Co., which re-
cently started on Market street, his
partner, J. H. W. Field, having with-
drawn from the business.

M. H. Ebel was down from Sacra-
mento last week arranging for shipment
of stock for the holidays.

Charles Navlet, of San Jose, got in
a nice stock of azaleas in time for the
Christmas trade, and Mr. Piccetti, of
the San Francisco branch, got his share
of these as well as of other plants, and
reports a fine holiday trade in both
departments. 8. H.. G.

Akron, O.—James Norton has been
ill for several months.

Oregon City, Ore.—Mrs. R. G. Pierce
has closed her flower store and retired
from the business.

Whittier, Cal—Mrs. Sarah A. Pleas,
who achieved fame at Dunreith, Ind.,
as a pioneer collector of peonies, now
is located in the milder climate of this
town.

Lincoln, Neb.—Fred Miller will leave
for the east January 1. He will enter
an Adventist seminary, where he will
prepare to become a foreign mission-
ary. Fritz, as he is commonly known
among his many friends, has been in
the employ of C. H. Frey for several
years.

Salem, Ore.—Florists here complain
of the practice at one of the public
institutions, which is said to give away
stock the trade has for sale. Says one
florist: ‘‘One bad thing for us florists
to contend with is the State Insane
Asylum furnishing people with free
plants, which I think is wrong. We all
pay taxes to keep up those state in-
stitutions and then for them to distrib-
ute plants in the spring is not fair to
us florists.’’

Seed Trade News

AMERIOAN SEED TRADE hp ag
President, John M. L Mattita L. 1.3
Gecretary-Treasurer, 0 ot Renae! tioheve oO.

THE Philadelphia Seed Co. has filed
notice ofan increase of stock from $25,-
000 to $50,000.

THERE is a lot of last’ year’s corn
that is good for seed purposes, so no
famine is to be feared.

Here and there small surpluses of the
Globe varieties of onion have developed,
but the holders think they know the
value.

LrEsTER L. Morse and Mrs. Morse, who
have made their headquarters in New
York for a month, are on their way home
to San Francisco.

Ir Congress decrees that all seed
parcels over four ounces must be zoned,
perhaps Congress will in return cut off
the free seeds that now burden the
mails!

THE U. S. Department of Agriculture
recently has issued Bulletin No. 276,
‘‘The Pea Aphis with Relation to For-
age Crops,’’ by J. J. Davis, in which
seedsmen will find much of interest.

THE early catalogues confirm the be-
lief that the average mail order seeds-
man is not only disinclined to take ad-
vantage of market conditions, but that
he will go the limit to keep from raising
his prices. Whether it is fear of com-
petition or belief in a policy is not
apparent.

Frep H. Hunter, of the Hunter Seed
Co., San Francisco, who recently recov-
ered from an attack of pneumonia, had
only been at his office a few days when
he received word by wire from his sis-
ter in Spokane, Wash., that his mother
was not expected to live, and he and
Mrs. Hunter have by now about reached
Spokane. This will delay Mr. Hunter’s
annual eastern trip. He will be east
sometime in January, however.

THE premium list of the North Da-
kota Improved Seed Growers’ Associa-
tion, covering the cash prizes to be
awarded the seed exhibitors at the an-
nual meeting, to be held January 18 to
22, has been printed and is ready for
distribution. The prizes aggregate $2,000.

THE BURPEE BOYS.

W. Atlee Burpee early began to train
his boys“to carry on his business When
it should come time for him to free him-
self of cares. That they now, through
the untimely death of the founder, find

themselves in control of the largest mail
order seed business in America and prob-
ably in the world is merely putting the
responsibility on their shoulders some-
what sooner than was expected and the
trade looks forward with approval to
seeing them ¢arry on the work most
successfully. As for the young men
themselves, they count themselves for-
tunate in having the assistance of two
such strong and energetic men as How-
ard M. Earl and W. F. Therkildson, on
whom their father had been accustomed
to rely.

A CENTURY OF SEEDSMEN.

Just 100 years ago, in the year known
to Englishmen as Waterloo year, was
born James Kelway, the first of the
three generations who have conducted
the firm of Kelway & Son, of Langport,
Somerset, England. In a life devoted
almost entirely to horticulture, the
founder of this noted house raised and

improved many varieties of flowers and
vegetables. He was particularly fa-
mous for his success with gladioli. His
work with calceolarias, hollyhocks and
delphiniums was also notable. He is
known as the originator of the florists’
cineraria and of Cucumber Kelway’s
Victory, the forerunner of the present
improved varieties. He received a sil-
ver medal at the Paris Exposition Uni-
verselle in 1878, and the thirty-seventh
volume, for 1910, of The Garden, a Lon-
don horticultural publication, was dedi-
cated to him ‘‘in acknowledgment of
his work among garden flowers.’’ He
died in 1899.

The eldest son of the founder of the
firm, the present senior member there-
of, William Kelway, was born in 1839.
He was a great raiser and exhibitor of
gladioli, peonies, delphiniums, pyre-
thrums and other hardy flowers, as well
as of vegetable and farm seeds. He,
together with his foreman, the late
Peter Drummond, was the originator
of the present form of florists’ delphin-
ium and of the perennial gaillardia.
At the Paris Exposition Universelle in
1889 he received a gold medal. He was
county councilor for Somerset, and
several times visited the United States
anu Canada.

The work of the grandfather and
father is continued by James Kelway,
the eldest son of William Kelway, born
in 1871. He was educated at London
University College and Sherborne
School. He has made famous the Kel-
way borders, of hardy plants, of which
he was the inventor, and is the intro-
ducer and raiser of new varieties of

editor of Kelway’s Manual of Horti-
culture and the author of Gardens of
Delight, unique forms of catalogues,
he has done notable work. For many
years he was captain in the volunteer
(territorial) army, commanding the
local company. He acted as a member
of the horticultural executive com-

WATERMELON TO GO HIGHER.

It is impossible to grow watermelons
in any quantity for seed purposes or
otherwise without the use of more or
less commercial fertilizer. Responsible
growers of melon seed in the south are
hard hit on account of the enormous
advance of the principal ingredients
used in the manufacture of a complete
fertilizer. The present price per ton
exceeds the last 5-year average fully
100 per cent. The contemplated ad-
vance of around 2 and 3 cents a pound
on growing contracts for 1916 will
hardly cover half the actual increased
cost of production.

The condition of the melon crops
from which seed is to be saved in the
south is of vital importance to the best
trade, and buyers of low-priced con-
tracts for 1916 will meet disappoint-
ment all the way around.

Last week’s imports of bulbous stock
through New York consisted of 125
cases of valley pips, consigned to a for-

This shipment of bulbs pushed the re-

000 mark, and more bulbs are coming
along, though few at a time. Last
week’s batch was consigned as follows,

THE GRONNA BILL,

The bill of Senator Gronna of North
Dakota, ‘‘To prohibit the interstate
shipment of impure seeds,’’ introduced
December 7 as_ S. 578, provides as fol-
lows:

That the shipment for seeding purposes from
one State into another State of seeds of alfalfa,
barley, Canadian blue grass, Kentucky blue
grass, awnless brome grass, buckwheat, clover,
field corn, kafir corn, meadow fescue, flax, oats,
millet, orchard grass, rape, redtop, rye, sorghum
timothy, wheat or any other cereal or grass seeds
or any vegetable seeds or flower seeds, or mix-
tures of seeds containing any of such seeds as
one of the principal component parts, which are
adulterated or unfit for seeding purposes under
the provisions of this act, is hereby prohibited;
and the Secretary of Agriculture shall make such
rules and regulations as will prevent the ship-
ment of such seed from one State, Territory,
or District_into another State, Territory, or
District: Provided, That this Act shall not
operate to prohibit the shipment of seeds for
the purpose of cleaning them before offering them
for sale, but such shipments shall be made in
accordance with and be subject to such regila-
tions as the Secretary of Agriculture may deem
necessary to prevent the misuse of this privilege;
and the Secretary may, if he considers it ad-
visable, demand of the owner or consignee a
bond that such seed, before it is offered for sale,
will be cleaned to the standard of purity specified
in this Act or such standard as may subsequently
be established by the. Secretary of Agriculture
under the provisions of this Act; and such bonded
seed shall not be released until the screenings
and other refuse shall have been disposed of in
a manner prescribed by the Secretary of Agri-
culture,

The Florists’ Review

have the power after proper investigation to pre-
scribe additional standards of purity and viabil-
ity, gepereor ine those specified in sections two
and three of this Act, but such standards shall in
no case be lower than those specified in sections
two and three.

Sec. 5. That any person or persons who shall
knowingly violate the provisions of this Act shall
be deemed guilty of a misdemeanor and, pos
conviction, shall pay a fine of not exceeding
se and not less an $10 for each offense:

rovided, That any person or persons who shall
knowingly sell for seeding purposes seeds or
grain transported in violation of this Act shall
be deemed guilty of violating this Act.

This is the third time this bad bill
has bobbed up, the first time being un-
acted upon, the second time unfavorably
reported by the Senate Committee on
Agriculture and Forestry. The bill is
thoroughly unwise, impracticable and
would, if enacted, wholly prohibit the
shipment in interstate commerce of
certain seeds. It applies to all field,
vegetable and flower seeds, arbitrarily
defining adulterations which no expert
can detect, and making all seeds unfit
for sale which are under ninety per cent
germination. Seedsmen should advise
their senators and representatives of
the impractical character of the bill.

HOW ABOUT THIS?

Conversation between a Landreth
seed traveler and a salesman for
leather goods:

Leather Salesman:
selling?

Landreths’ Traveler: Seeds.

Leather Salesman: Oh, ——! I
wasted ten years selling seeds, not one-
third of which were shipped out, on
account of crop failures. Now if I
sell more than my leather factory has,
they just put two dozen extra machines
at work and quickly make up the goods,
but no seed firm can manufacture seeds
—when there came along a general
crop failure they were dead stuck.

trated catalogue of seeds, bulbs and plants;
ninety-six pages and cover. The lists of vege-

the beginning are some suggestions on color har-
mony; then follow the lists of flower seeds, bulbs,
plants and sundries. The sundries include spray-
ers, seed flats, stakes, moss, peat, fertilizers, in-
secticides, etc.

California Nurse Co., Inc,, Niles, Cal.—
‘‘Semicentennial Edition, Descriptive Catalogue

Neither the sizes nor the prices of the stock are
stated, and the company draws attention to
the fact that the book ‘‘is not for gratuitous
distribution, but is sold for 25 cents per copy.’’

ever, and are mailed without charge.

The fifty-six pages of garden seeds in our 96-

PRECAUTION

For the lack of a nail the
shoe was lost, for the lack of
a shoe the horse was lost,
for the lack of a horse the
rider was lost—and for the
lack of Horseshoe Brand
bulbs the crop was lost. Thus
precaution would have saved
your crop of lilies. At any
rate it would have bettered
your crop, because there are
no lily bulbs grown which
will net as high average
flowering results as Horse-
shoe Brand Giganteum.
Some growers do not dis-
criminate in their buying.
Some do, and those who do
always buy Horseshoe Brand
lily bulbs because they know
they are better bulbs. You
can profit by the experience
of successful lily growers
by getting Horseshoe Brand
bulbs to start, thus saving
yourself the loss due to ex-
perimenting with various
brands of unknown standard

value. The prices are as fol-
lows:

Giganteum
7/9 ‘$18 per case 300 bulbs
8/10 20 per case 250 bulbs
9/10 20 per case 200 bulbs

for which the Burpee house has long been famous.
This one ‘celebrates the company’s fortieth an-'

tive colored cover. Among the illustrations are!
four full-page pictures in colors, showing spe-
cialties in beans, tomatoes, melons, gladioli andj;
‘sweet peas. Farm seeds, as well'as flower and
vegetable seeds, are included.

Charles‘ H, Totty, Madison, N. J.—Thirteenth
‘annual illustrated catalogue of chrysanthemums
roses, carnations, hardy perennials an
miscellaneous plants. This book of sixty-eight’
pages is the largest and most elaborate cata-
logue that Mr. Totty has yet issued and is bound
in a strong cover of new and artistic design. Of
course the chrysanthemums, headed by the Wells-
Pockett-Totty novelties, still have the first and
ehief place in the book, as in the Totty busi-
_ness, but roses occupy much more space than in
former editions. Included in both chrysanthemums
and roses are certain novelties which, says Mr.)
Totty, ‘‘will more than uphold our reputation of
the past.’’

The Market.

Christmas business proved to be
good. The supply was larger than ex-
pected, and all the storekeepers had
adequate quantities of stock for their
trade. Shipping business, of course,
was good.

Roses are fairly plentiful. The re-
ceipts include an exeellent lot of red
as well as American Beauty and Killar-
ney. The American Beauties, espe-
cially. the larger sizes, have only a fair
market. Carnations are scarce and are
not of the highest average quality.
Easter and magnificum lilies are plen-
tiful.. The supply of narcissus is equal
to the. demand.

Lily ot the valley, violets and. or-
chids, all in heavy supply, failed to
clean up in the Christmas rush and
have only a fair market. Other offer-
ings include poinsettias, stevia, callas,
sweet peas and baby primroses,

Various Notes.

The Cincinnati Cut Flower Exchange
reports. a business much greater than
that of the Christmas before.

P. J. Olinger had as large a single
lot of fine red roses as ever have been
seen in this market at Christmas.

Recent visitors were W. E. Gardner,
Newcastle, Ind.; Fred Rupp, Lawrence-
burg, Ind.; Emile Uhl, Greenfield, O.,
and Charles Winner, Lebanon, O.

C. E. Critchell finds the demand for
wild smilax greater than it has ever
been. C. H. H.

BRAMPTON, ONT.

No one would have believed that
Christmas would result in such a highly
satisfactory business. The fact remains
that the turnover of the 1914 holiday
season was exceeded by thirty per cent
and the record Christmas of 1913
eclipsed by the sales of the holiday week
just passed. Everything was in fine
shape as to quality and quantity, except
that there was a heavy shortage of car-
nations and American Beauties.

With the shipping-room staff at the
Dale Estate working till midnight most
of the week, orders were got out in
time. The weather was fair until
Christmas morning, when twelve inches
of snow began to fall, followed by rain
and a heavy wind. The demand for

THE THIRD EDITION

OF THE

Album of Designs

(A Book Every Retailer Needs)

HE original Album of Designs was published in response to many
requests from florists who felt the need for an up-to-date book that
could be used in taking orders for Funeral Designs, Wedding Decorations
and Bouquets, Table Decorations and all cut flower work where it was not
practicable to show the customer the finished article as it would be when
1eady for use. With the publication of this album it became possible to
show the finished work in beautifully printed pictures. The first
edition sold like hot cakes, and a second edition went quickly. Nowa
third edition is off the press. Everything is in it—all the standard
designs and many new and heretofore unpublished pieces.

96 pages, nearly 300 designs and decora-
tions, beautifully printed on heavy glazed paper,
handsomely bound in a cover that will stand wear

AMERICAN ASSOCIATION OF NURSERYMEN.

Rochester, N. Y.; Treasurer,
, Geneva, Neb.
annual meeting, Milwaukee, Wis.,

June 28 to 80, 1916.

F. W. Drxon, of Holton, Kan., has
had to turn down orders aggregating
half a million Everbearing strawberry
plants. He will plant twenty-five acres
of them next season. Recently he re-
ceived an order for 80,000 plants of the
Everbearing variety from a Japanese
gardener in California.

In his annual report, Attorney Gen-
eral Gregory states that four violations
of the plant quarantine act were re-
ported to U. 8. attorneys during the
year, and $415 was collected in fines.
Nine cases were pending at the close of
the year for which the report was made,
ending June 30, 1915.

A NURSERY that now never loses rhodo-
dendrons during the winter has them
planted on a hillside, with several per-
forated water pipes running across the
patch. If the autumn is dry, before the
ground freezes the water is turned on and
the soil given a thorough soaking before
it freezes up. Before this trick was ac-
quired losses were large; since then they
have been negligible.

REMINDER TO NURSERYMEN.

Hotel Wisconsin has been chosen
headquarters of the forty-first annual
convention of the American Association
of Nurserymen, to be held in Milwau-
kee, Wis., June 28 to 30, 1916. T. J.
Ferguson, of Wauwatosa, Wis., is the
local representative of the association
in the matter of arrangements, enter-
tainment, etc. Membership and other
questions should be sent to the under-
signed, 204 Granite building, Rochester,
N. Y., who will respond promptly. It
is the hope of the executive committee
that every nurseryman in the country
actively engaged in the business but
not yet identified with the association,
will take the necessary steps to become
a member. John Hall, Sec’y.

NURSERY TRADE TERMS.

At its annual meeting in Kansas City,
December 8 and 9, the Western Associa-
tion of Nurserymen accepted the report
of the special committee on trade terms.
This committee, composed of J. W.
Schuette, chairman; E. P. Bernardin and
H. B. Chase, had been appointed by the
association at its annual meeting in
December, 1914. Its purpose was to
formulate terms of payment in the
nursery trade, and it was under instruc-
tion to report to the American Associa-
tion of Nurserymen.

The national organization met in De-
troit in June, 1915, and at this conven-
tion the report of the trade terms com-

mittee was duly read and referred to
the executive committee. E. P. Ber-
nardin made the report for the com-
mittee at the recent meeting of the
western body. It follows:

‘‘The following are the recommenda-
tions made by the special committee on
trade terms appointed by the Western
Association of Nurserymen at its
Kansas City meeting, in December,
1914, to formulate terms of payment
in the nursery trade and to make its
report to the national association in
Detroit, with a view of having that
association adopt a specific schedule of
terms, to be used universally in the
nursery trade in the United States.

‘‘These recommendations were made
and referred to the executive com-
mittee:

‘‘The understood trade terms in
vogue in the wholesale nursery business
for the last twenty-five years or more,
are: Settlement December 1 for fall
shipments, and June 1 for late fall ship-
ments intended for spring trade and
for spring shipments.

‘*Why should we have two pay days
in a year, and why select December 1
and June 1? Let us forget that such
days as December 1 and June 1 exist.

‘*Many of us do not begin to make
any shipments until after the middle
to the last of October in the fall, and
the majority of our shipments are made
early in November. Fall payments De-
cember 1 are too early. In the spring
we begin from the first to the middle
of March, and payment June 1 is later
than it should be. Northern and east-
ern nurserymen do much of their busi-
ness in May. Surely June 1 is too early
for them to comply with June 1 pay-
ment.

the main expense of which is labor—a

cash proposition. Payments for buds
should be made before December 1.

‘‘Every wholesale business has under-
stood trade terms, with discounts for
prompt payments. We have not. There
is no inducement for a buyer to pay
his bills promptly, as we allow no cash
discount.

‘*It would be more satisfactory to
make terms to nurserymen as follows:

“Net sixty days from date of invoice, with
discount of two per cent ten days, one per cent
thirty days.

‘“‘When cash in advance is demanded, allow
three per cent cash discount, but never allow free
packing for cash in advance. All wholesale prices
are for goods in nursery—packing extra.

“Late fall ——" intended for spring trade,
June 1 net, or four per cent discount if paid in
thirty days from date of invoice.

“This would allow ample time to get returns,
be an inducement for the prompt-paying cus-
tomer to discount his bills, and, in our opinion,
would improve collections.

‘“‘We issue wholesale price lists which are
sent broadcast to the trade. The quotations
are generally made r hundred and per thou-
sand. Again, quotations are made per each.
These prices get into the hands of all classes
of buyers. The buyer wants twenty trees. He
expects them and gets them at the lowest quoted
each rate, or from concerns quoting only per
thousand,

“Some concerns offer thirty plants or trees at
the hundred rate, 300 at the thousand rate;
others twenty-five and 250 respectively; still
others fifty and 500 at the hundred and thousand
rate. There should be uniformity in this matter.
In justice to the good of the trade, printed quo-
tations should always be made per hundred and
per thousand, never per each, and published
quantity privile es should be the same in all
wholesale price lists; viz., fifty at the hundred
rate, 300 at the thousand rate.

“A great ors | abuses are sr in among
local dealers and small nurserymen in the way
of complaints. They accept shipments of stock,
and some of them do not attempt to make pay-

LAST WEEK’S IMPORTS.

Shipments of nursery stock from
Europe reached New York last week on
three boats. The Noordam, from Rot-
terdam, arrived December 19, and the
St. Paul and Den of Ogil, from Eng-
land, came to port the following day.
The ‘consignments were unusually small,
both in size and number. The record
for the three boats was as follows:

Columbus a Scandinavian navigator by
the name of Eric the Red, who flour-

is nothing new under the sun, when you
stop to think of it. Some of us are
hoggish about our discoveries; others,
like the Gardners, Charles F. and
Clark E., who do business in Osage,
Ia., as the Gardner Nursery Co., be-
lieve in passing a good thing along.
The Gardner nursery is situated in
the blizzard belt of northern Iowa,
about fifteen miles from the Minnesota
line, and where the thermometer goes
30 and even 40 degrees below zero, with
the other extreme, in summer, of long,
hot, dry spells. But about the discov-
ery. And, perhaps, in telling of it, we
may be permitted to use the words of
Charles F. Gardner, who is president
of the company. ‘‘ We find,’’ said Mr.

Gardner, ‘‘that people like good-quality
ripe strawberries just as well during
late summer and the fall as they do in
the regular strawberry season. In fact,
we find that our strawberries topped
the markets in preference to all other

fruits. We are planning greatly to in-
crease our plantings this coming
spring.’’

The Everbearing strawberries are
rapidly coming to the front with the
Garden Nursery Co. It picked and sold
22,563 quarts of these berries, all fine,
during August and up to the middle of
October, when the first severe frost
came. These berries were all picked
from newly planted fields, set in April
and May of the same year.

WASHINGTON, D. 0.

Christmas Business.

The retailers are well satisfied with
the volume of business done for Christ-
mas, and, while many of the stores have
not yet assembled their figures, all are
positive that 1915 will show a healthy
increase over the same period of last
year, which in turn showed an increase
over 1913. Cut flowers and pot plants
have grown in favor as Christmas gifts,
largely replacing more expensive articles.

Everything in the way of plants
moved well, and the stores soon found
themselves outsold on azaleas. Cycla-
men came a close second, and poinsettias
were in good demand. The sale of cut
flowers was heavier than ever before
and it is said that better prices pre-
vailed, both wholesale and retail. Amer-
ican Beauty roses, long-stemmed Rich-
monds, double and single violets all

moved readily. The supply of orchids |

and gardenias was insufficient. ;

The retail quotations on single vio-
lets were $2 and $3, while doubles main-
tained a price of $3 per hundred. Gar-
denias brought $1 and orchids made $1
and $1.25 each. Cut poinsettias sold well
at from $3 to $6 per dozen. Valley sold
at $1.50 per dozen and carnations
brought from $1 to $2.50. American
Beauties sold readily at up to $18 per
dozen, the cheapest to be had being $5.
There was some demand for Sweetheart
roses at $1 per dozen. Mock and Ra-
diance brought up to $9, while Enchant-
er, Shawyer, Killarney, Ward, Sunburst
and Hillingdon reached a top price of
$5 per dozen. Extra fine Richmond
roses brought up to $12 per dozen the
bottom price being about $5. Fireflame
was offered at $1.50 per dozen. ~

Various Notes.

In commenting on the week’s busi-
ness, William F, Gade, of Gude Bros. Co.,
said: ‘‘We had more trade than we
could attend to for three or four days
before Christmas and this despite the
fact that our sales and delivery force
was more than doubled. Everything
moved well. We were completely cleaned
out of azaleas early in the rush. Prices
were better and stock was exceptionally
fine; s0, all told, the business was satis-
factory.’’

The next regular meeting of the Flo-
rists’ Club is scheduled to be held at
1214 F street, northwest, January 4.

The Gude Bros. Co. was given the
order for the elaborate decorations at
the Pan-American Union on the occa-
sion of the Second Pan-American Scien-
tific Congress, which is being attended
by notables from all of the South and

The Florists’ Review

DacemsBer 30, 1915.

PITTSBURGH.

The Market.

Pittsburgh had fine weather for the
holiday business, until Christmas morn-
ing, when a cold, miserable rain began,
culminating at night in a snow storm.
Stock had been scarce for two weeks
preceding Christmas, but the crops got
in just right on everything except car-
nations, and two bright days late in
the week helped even the carnations
considerably. Roses were fine and in
perfect condition, with enough of all
grades for everybody. Richmonds were
especially fine and plentiful. Cattleyas
were in great demand, but there were
enough for all. Early in the week it
looked as if violets might be coming
into their own again, but the demand
for them slumped off toward the end of
the week and small rose buds, sweet
peas and orchids took their place.

Plantsmen all report that this was
the best plant Christmas ever known.
All of them cleaned up everything that
looked like a blooming plant, and
toward the end of the week were sell-
ing palms and ferns.

The retailers all have the same re-
port—that Christmas was one of the
old-fashioned kind and that the pros-
perity which seems to have been reach-
ing other kinds of business has at last
reached the florists. All were worked
to the limit and the flowers and plants
handled were .finer than ever before.
It was unusual to see anything that
was' not strictly up to the mark.

Various Notes.

Randolph & McClements, with their
large conservatory attached to their
store, on one of the most prominent
corners of the east end, ntebably did
the greatest plant business, for they
seemed to have thousands of baskets,
pans and other arrangements of plants
and the demand seemed to exceed their
ability to keep up the display.

Mrs. E. A. Williams, whose store is
not so large, made a display of special
arrangements of plants, and by Friday
noon there was not a plant in the store,
so that all the room was available for
handling the cut flower business, which
was the best they ever had.

The A. W. Smith Co., with special
opportunity for display, certainly took
advantage of it and moved more plants
than ever before at Christmas. The
company reports that both the plant
and flower business were the best ever
experienced.

The establishment of the Blind
Floral Co., with its new French decora-
tions, looked exceedingly artistic and
beautiful and the Christmas trade sur-
passed expectations.

In Wilkinsburg Miss E. B. Maxwell
and her efficient force worked day and
night to keep up with the demands on
them, but they did such a nice business
that they did not complain of the
strenuous labor.

William Turner says there was a
wonderful increase in his business. He
does not know whether this was chiefly
due to his personal attention or to the
better trade conditions, but it was
highly satisfactory at any rate.

iss Nellie G. King reports that her
business was so much ahead of her ex-
pectations that she and her helpers
were almost worked to death trying to
keep up with it.

Samuel Cape, the Butler street flo-
rist, had things all his own way out
there. While he does not say much,

one can see that he is getting there
with both feet and his Christmas busi-
ness was the kind that pays.

Harry Hamm, with his two stores,
was well satisfied with his business.

The E. C. Ludwig Floral Co. was do-
ing the usual business except that the
Christmas tree department was dropped
and all time and attention were given
to flowers and plants, and this proved
to be no mistake.

The Ludwig Floral Co., on Federal
street, was greatly pleased with the
Christmas business, and the _ smiles
of the members of the firm seemed

to prove that they must have made
money.

Gilbert Ludwig was in bad shape
with the grip, but stayed in the fight
all through the holiday season.

Hard luck hit the A. W. Smith Co,
force just before the holidays. A. W.
Smith, Jr., met with an accident that
nearly put him out of the running. One
of the errand boys was struck by an
automobile and his skull was fractured,
but his life was saved by a delicate
surgical operation. Another member of
the force was injured in some way and
was disabled for a week. Clarke.

ROCHESTER, Nv Y.

The Christmas Business.’

Christmas appears to have been an
exceedingly profitable holiday for the
trade. Starting as it did, at the be-
ginning of the week, the business be-
came more and more active until it
reached its zenith December 24. We
can assure the trade that Rochester has
experienced one of the best Christmases
on record. Scarcely a plant was to be
seen at 6 p. m. Friday, but plenty of
cut flowers were available. The stock
of plants and cut flowers was heavy in-
deed, but the market cleared nicely.
Had there been more sun, plants would
have been more plentiful, but a sunless
week held back a large quantity of
stock. American Beauties were in first-
class condition and brought good prices.
Other reds, such as Francis Scott Key,
D’Arenberg, Hoosier Beauty and Mi-
lady, all sold splendidly. Other varie-
ties, such as Ophelia, Sunburst, Ward,
My Maryland, Russell and Radiance,
were good and sold nicely. Prices were
in accordance with the season. Violets
sold well and retailed at $3 to $4 per
hundred. Sweet peas were extra fine
and moved satisfactorily. Carnations
in pink and white were plentiful, but
reds were on the scarce side. Orchids,
gardenias, cypripediums, pink and white
bouvardias—all sold well. Valley was
good and met all demands. Calla and
Easter lilies were not overplentiful. Yel-
low narcissi, Paper Whites, stevia and
Shasta daisies were all useful as small
flowers and sold nicely. Chrysanthe-
mums are slackening considerably now,
but they were useful for the holiday.
A fine supply of Dutch hyacinths was
on the market and sold well. Poinset-
tias never appeared to such good advan-
tage as this season. Azaleas were fine
and sold fast; in fact, every available
plant was sold out. Greens were plenti-
ful throughout the week.

Various Notes.

Miss Lillian Wheeler, of J. B. Keller
Sons, has been home for the last few
days, suffering from internal poisoning
caused by primulas. She is making sat-
isfactory progress.

The funeral of Miss E. E, Keller, sis-
ter-in-law of George Keller, was held
from the latter’s home December 23.
Miss Keller was a widely known writer
and philanthropist. Many telegraph or-
ders for flowers were received by the
local florists for the funeral.

MILWAUKEE.

The Holiday Trade.

Christmas trade on the whole was emi-
nently satisfactory. Stock was quite
scarce and prices soared. The prices
have more than maintained the standard
set by those of last year and the big
feature this Christmas was the absence
of a drop just before the holiday, as was
the case last year.

Carnations were scarce and their qual-
ity was quite good. Some exceptionally
fine stock was sold and there were some
inferior grades that brought more than
they were worth, owing to the shortage.
Roses were in fine shape, but they were
even scarcer than carnations. This
tended to increase the demand and some
choice stock was moved at fancy prices.
Russell roses were in great demand;
long stock brought $6 per dozen and
upward. Violets were so scarce that
they could not be figured on, as the lim-
ited quantity that reached the market
was but a drop in the bucket compared
with the demand. The quality of the vio-
lets was good and the Wisconsin-grown
stock was cleaned out at around $2.50
per hundred.

Callas were not to be had and orders
were turned down on this item. Valley
was in medium supply and was cleaned
up with no effort. The demand for
orchids was strong and the supply, while
larger than usual, was not sufficient to
satisfy the demand. Plants are becom-
ing a bigger factor every year and this
year showed a larger increase than ever
before. The orders began to come in
early and most places were entirely sold
out by December 20. The cut flower
shortage may have been responsible for
the large sale to some extent, but it
would not account for the heavy ad-
vance sales in the plant end of the
business.

Various Notes.

The G, H. Hunkel Co. has built a new
office in its establishment. The new
office is about double the size of the
former one and will give the company
greater facilities for handling the vol-
ume of business that passes through each
year. This concern reports a large stock
of seeds that are quite scarce at this
time. H. J. 8.

SS BE READY WITH THE GOODS

‘With another important holiday out of the way,
every hustling florist should follow the warrior’s
cry: “Close up ranks, throw out the dead, make
ready for a new battle.”

No profit in “dead ones,’’ whether it be men or
plants. Crowd your space with new stock for the
next big flower days—Easter and Memorial. Don’t
sit ’round sucking your thumb until these holidays
arrive and then go out to buy needed blooms, but
grow them yourself. “Be ready with the goods.”

Besides, spring will soon be here, and you will
need a lot of bedding stock. For all of these occa-
sions nothing will equal snapdragon. Buy plants
for Easter and Memorial and sow seed now for bed-
ding stock. A few hundred snapdragon plants in
bloom in 3% or 4-in. pots in May will do both your
a and pocket-book good. ‘“Be ready with the
goods.”’

Seedling plants of our famous Silver Pink at
$5.00 per 100; $45.00 per 1,000. Plants of Nelrose
same price. Other varieties later. Plants of Silver
Queen, our new mammoth flowered snapdragon, 50c
each; $3.00 per doz.

New crop seed as follows: My original Silver
Pink, $1.00 per pkt.; 8 for $2.50; 7 for $5.00. Nel-
rose, Buxton, Garnet, Yellow, White, and mixed,

Greenhouse Heating.

HOUSE MAY BE EXTENDED.

I have a greenhouse 12x13 and nine
feet high to the ridge, and I wish to
heat it with hot water. The house
runs north and south. The side walls
contain twenty-seven inches of glass
and the south end is glass. At the
north end there is a building 14x14,
in which I shall put the boiler, and
this building is protected on the north
by a stable. The boiler is a Little
Gem. It has 2-inch and 2%-inch open-
ings and a 14-inch firebox, and is rated
at 230 square feet of ‘radiation. 1
should like to know how to pipe this
house for a temperature of 60 degrees
in zero weather. What size of pipe
would be the best to use? If I should
add thirteen feet to the south end of
the house, would the boiler be large
enough to heat it? Should I use the
same size of pipe in the enlarged
house? W. T. J.—Me.

To heat the house described, we would
start with a 2%4-inch flow pipe at the
boiler and carry it to a point in line
with and about eighteen inches below
the ridge. At the point where it turns
to enter the house, connect a 5-gallon
expansion tank, using a %4-inch pipe.
Continue the flow ipe through the
house, giving it a fall of about two
inches, and at the farther end connect
with the return coils on the side walls
by means of 2-inch pipes. In each of
the side coils there should be five 1%4-
inch returns. These, of course, should
also be given a slight fall and should
be connected to the return outlet in
the boiler. While a 2-inch return con-
nection will answer for the present
radiation, if the size of the house is
to be doubled it will be well, if possi-
ble, to ream out the outlet so that a
21-inch main return may be used. If
this cannot be done, it will suffice if the
coils are connected by means of 2-inch
pipes to a 2%-inch main return and
this may be reduced to 2-inch close to
the heater.

If the house is lengthened as pro-
posed, it will only be necessary to ex-
tend the 2%4-inch flow pipe to the end
of the addition and connect it with the
return coils of 14-inch pipe, which
should also be lengthened. A boiler
with a capacity for 230 square feet
of radiating surface will heat the house
’ after it has been lengthened to twenty-
six feet, but the grate is rather small
and in zero weather the fire will re-
quire frequent attention.

home strictly modern in every respect.

Realizing that upon the heating sys-
tem will depend so much of your com-
fort and enjoyment during the long win-
ter months, THE BOILER—the heart
of the heating system—should be the
best that money can buy.

We have designed a New TUBE-

used for Hot Water, Low Pressure
Steam, Vacuum Steam, or Vapor Steam
Heating Systems.

It will be to your advantage to ac-
quaint yourself with the sterling merits
of this boiler.

OUR GUARANTEE
We guarantee The Kroeschell Tubeless Boiler to be superior to
any heating boiler on the market of its rated capacity, and propose
to deliver this boiler to any purchaser with the agreement that if
after one year’s firing the purchaser is not satisfied with the boiler,
it may be returned to us, and we will refund the price paid us for the
boiler, and pay the return freight charges.

a regular supply of steam through the
entire season. Of course, if there is
a regular attendant in the filtering
house all of the time, this should se-
cure proper attention to the fire at all
hours of the day and night.

A steam heating plant should have at-
tention at least once in five hours in
zero weather, and. with such a plant
it is always desirable to have a night
fireman. For this reason we prefer to
use hot- water for heating greenhouses
that @re too small to warrant a regular
fireman, with perhaps 10,000 square feet
of glass as a minimum for steam.
While the cost of a hot water plant
will be about fifty per cent more than
for a steam plant, owing to its requir-
ing more radiating surface, the cost of
fuel, in a small plant where hard coal
is used, will be less.

WILL USE GAS FOR FUEL.

I have just finished building a green-
house, 20x100. I have a Wilks hot water
boiler, 30x48, and will use natural gas
for fuel, with a 2-inch gas pipe up to
the boiler. I wish to get the best
natural gas burner in the market, and
also a thermostat to regulate the heat
in the greenhouse. Please advise me
what to do. H. D.—Tex.

For heating the greenhouse we would
suggest the use of three 2%4-inch flow
pipes and nine 2-inch returns. This
will give a temperature of 60 degrees
in zero weather if there is no glass in
the side walls and if the house is well
built, with an average amount of ex-
posure to high winds.

Our experience with gas burners is
not sufficient to warrant our recom-
mending a special form as the best, and
we would invite any readers of The
Review who are using natural gas for
greenhouse: heating to give their experi-
ence with gas burners. If you will cor-
respond with the thermostat manufac-
turers whose advertisement appears reg-
ularly in the Heating Department of
The Review, you will probably be able
to secure the kind of thermostat that
will best suit your purpose.

FROM STEAM TO HOT WATER.

We are planning to change the heat-
ing system in our two greenhouses
from steam to hot water. Will you
kindly state the number of additional
2-inch returns and additional flows that
will be needed? The houses run east
and west. The north one is 26x100, fif-
teen feet high to the ridge and seven
feet high to the eaves. The north
wall is boarded. There is glass in the
west end to within four feet of the
ground; the east end is boarded to a
height of seven feet. This house al-
ready has one 2%4-inch flow and twelve
14-inch returns. We wish to retain
the present 1%4-inch pipes. In this
house we want a temperature of 60 de-
grees when the outside temperature is
10 degrees below zero.

The south greenhouse is 26x100 and
eleven feet to the ridge. It has three
feet of glass in the south wall. There
are 7-foot board walls at each end,
with glass above. This house now has
six 2-inch returns and one 3-inch flow,
and it needs a temperature of 50 de-
grees in below-zero weather. There is
a glass partition between the two
houses. G. F. F. C.—Mont.

the METROPOLITAN PATENTED BOILER you want.

Because of their proven scientifically perfect con-
struction, Metropolitan Patented Boilers will heata
given amount of water quicker, with less fuel and
less attention than any other boiler on the market.

The remarkable heating efficiency and quick
steaming qualities of these boilers are due to their
large and effective heating surface.

Just a few points of Metropolitan Patented Boiler
merit:—Smooth, perfect finished castings. Push nip-
ple connections.
combustion chamber, and permittin
charge of fuel to require attention only at long inter
vals. Deep ash pit, making the removal of ashes a

service. And above all, they are Fuel Saving, not
Fuel Wasting.

We also make soft coal boilers which are smoke-
less, and save 50 per cent in coal.

The Florists’ Review

PROVIDENCE.

The Market.

It was a green Christmas and the
weather conditions were such that
plants of all kinds could be delivered
without danger or inconvenience. It
also was a satisfactory Christmas as far
as business was concerned; from all
sides reports indicate that an unusually
large volume of business was done. Not-
withstanding the extra large stocks of
cut flowers, as well as of pot plants and
evergreens, all the stores cleaned up
well. As a whole it was said to be the
best Yuletide trade of several years.

Prices ruled about one-third higher
than ordinarily, but this proved no bar
to business. In pot plants, azaleas took
the lead, although araucarias, ardisias
and begonias were much in demand.
The real novelty was the poinsettias,
and in single blooms or in pone they
sold readily. Orchids and valley brought
good prices.

Various Notes.

J. Koppelman & Co. had a big sale
of fancy baskets and other supplies at
wholesale.

Johnston Bros. employed six extra au-
tomobiles in connection with their own
delivery department.

Edward Brooke, of T. J. Johnston &
Co., reported one of the best holiday
trades ever experienced by his concern.

M. Maenair, in addition to regular
business, sold several hundred bowls of
partridge berries.

Samuel Resnick has nearly recovered
from his recent operation for appen-
dicitis. W. iH. M.

PLAINFIELD, N. J.

Brooks Carson, at Norwood and Man-
ning avenues, has built an office build-
ing and store in connection with his
greenhouses. He has also bought an
enclosed delivery truck. Business has
been good with him.

W. H. Forristel, of the Belleview
Nurseries, 1382 Belleview avenue, says
that since the cold weather business
with his concern has been better than
it ever was. Mr. Forristel has com-
pleted an addition to his greenhouses,
21x40 feet, for ferns.

For L. B. Coddington, of Murray
Hill, four rose houses, each 65x500,

DecumBue 380, 1915.

EVANSVILLE, IND.

The Christmas Trade.

This year’s holiday business was con-
siderably greater than that of last year.
The weather during the big week was
fine until Friday, when we had a bad
day for delivery. It rained most of the
day and a strong wind prevailed.

Plants of all kinds sold well at good
prices. Poinsettias, Paper Whites, aza-
leas, cyclamens and begonias were the
leaders. Roses and carnations were in
heavy demand. Sweet peas, snapdrag-
ons, violets and cut poinsettias also sold
nicely, Everything considered, it really
was the best Christmas the retailers ever
had. Many were short on cut flowers
and had to buy heavily.

Various Notes.

J. C. Elspermann had the best Christ-
mas business he ever recorded. He had
extra help, but still was rushed to get
everything in shape and delivered on
time. He had an extra fine lot of plants
and sold out completely, His azaleas
and begonias were especially good.
Bulbous stock, especially narcissi, was
in demand. He had eighteen cases of
holly and used all of it. The holly was
extra good, well berried and of dark
green foliage.

Julius Niednagel & Sons began work-
ing overtime December 20 and worked
every night during the week preparing
for the rush. They had fine cuts of
roses and carnations. Their stock of
plants was excellent, especially the Cin-
cinnatti begonia and the cyclamen.
They had poinsettias with 6 to 8-foot
stems.

The William Blackman Floral Co. had
an immense stock of Christmas plants
and had just about enough left in the
store at the finish to indicate that they
had a flower shop. Business was far
ahead of the usual Christmas trade.
They were short of roses of their own
and had to buy heavily. This stock was
long-stemmed and had extra good flow-
ers. The carnation crop was large, but
extra carnations had to be bought to
fill the orders. George Blackman has a
bruised arm and shoulder as the result
of a fall on the basement stairway a
day or two before Christmas.

Karl Zeidler reports his Christmas
trade as being far ahead of that of last
year. He had a fine lot of plants, espe-
cially ferns, begonias and azaleas. The
or ha were unusually good and all were
sold.

Miss Nellie Goodge had a good holi-
day trade. She had a big lot of holly
made up into wreaths. She still is un-
able to get about much or to do any-
thing and she has the sympathy of the
Evansville florists.

The next meeting of the Evansville
Florists’ Club will be held at the C. L.

Niednagel place, January 12. Curt
Niednagel will give a talk on roses.

Gentlemen: In reply to your query would state
that I planted seedling stock plants and snap-
dragon cuttings in the first lot of bands that I
received from you early in January.

We took some of these out and planted them
where they are to remain about the 15th of
February. They made GOOD GROWTH while
in the bands, and transplanted AS THOUGH they
had never been moved at all.

I have now about 14,000 carnation plants
started in 2-in. bands which are making a RAPID
GROWTH, scarcely losing a plant in transplant-
ing from the sand.

I also have about 20,000 aster plants trans-
planted in 2-in. bands which can stay there till
time to plant out of doors WITHOUT FEAR OF
BECOMING ROOT BOUND, as would be the case
if I used 2-in. pots.

Plants SELDO BECOME ROOT BOUND

enough to injure them IN THE DIRT BANDS,

and DO NOT REQUIRE NEAR THE AMOUNT

OF ATTENTION that a pot plant does, in water-

ing, shifting, transplanting, etc.

I make my bands and set them in flats, as I
make them up, each flat holding 117.

When we get crowded indoors it takes but a
short time to move the flats to a cold frame,
where we harden them off before setting them in
the field.

One man can set MORE THAN ANOTHER
TIME AS MANY (twice as many) plants in the
field from these bands and flats than he can from
here and after he is through DOES NOT HAVE

HE BOTHER OF GATHERING UP, CLEAN-
ING, and STORING AWAY A LOT OF POTS.

I believe anyone using these bands ONCE
WILL BECOME A REGULAR CUSTOMER.

NE of the really funny things about
business is, that so many business
men think their business has noth-

You and I, however, know that every
business, in one way or another, affects
every other business.

Of course, there will always be the so-
called ‘Lucky Devil,” or the man who
accidentally falls into the soft things;
and thinks he did it all himself. But
more and more, success in business is
being reduced to an exact science.

Take the Bankers, for instance; they
have the most exasperating way of shut-
ting down on loaning a fellow money, at
times when the sky seemingly never
looked bluer, or business better. .

Then they also look on the bright side,
when business, for all you and I are get-
ting out of it, is still very much to the

ad.

DECEMBER 30, 1915.

SYRACUSE, N. Y.

The Market.

The Christmas business was the best
ever experienced. All the plant grow-
ers sold out. Pot plants were in great
demand, the leaders being azaleas,
poinsettias and cyclamens. Ferns were
not so popular as in other years.
Carnations were scarce; red were not
to be had. Roses sold well and were
plentiful.

Various Notes.

Chester Harris had a fine Christmas
business. He found azaleas to be the
best sellers. in plants. He showed some
fine made-up baskets of azaleas, cycla-
mens, poinsettias and dracenas, which
sold well.

The Baker Floral Co., the only whole-
sale house in this city, was sold out
of its large stock of plants December
19. The most active call was for poin-
settias in pans and for azaleas. It is now
cutting French Golden Spur. Its car-
nations are looking well, and it is busy
putting in carnation cuttings.

Charles Bourne, of Rich street, had
a lot of nice chrysanthemums for
Christmas. He said they sold well.
Business is good. He is cutting a crop
of fine carnations,

At the store of P. R. Quinlan well
grown poinsettias in pans with ferns
were all sold. In blooming plants, poin-
settias and azaleas were the best
sellers. A fine, large cut of Richmond
roses from the Quinlan greenhouses
went well. Business, in brief, was fine.

The store of Henry Morris was filled
with pot plants. His dwarf poinsettias
and table ferns made up in pans sold
well.

W. E. Day & Co. carried a big stock
of pot plants; only a few were left De-
cember 25. Ardisias and large cycla-
mens were the best sellers, with poin-
settias and azaleas following in order.
In cut flowers roses were the most popu-
lar. The force worked all night Decem-
ber 24 putting up cut flower orders.
The firm reports business thirty per
cent better than last year.

Warner Bultmann made a specialty
of azaleas and sold them all. He says
business was better than ever.

Robert Bard says his Christmas busi-
ness was fine, besides which he had a
lot of funeral work, December 23.

Gus Bartholme, on Manlius street,
had a fine lot of cyclamens for Christ-
mas. He is cutting some excellent car-
nation blooms.

The Syracuse Florists’ Club will
meet January 3 at Warner Bultmann’s
store. H. F. B.

WINNING OUT AC
az THE ROSE MIDGE a

In this article one of the most successful of the younger generation of
rose growers tells how he applied the copy-book motto, ‘‘Cleanliness Is
in hand and fought a winning fight

against that hitherto invincible foe, the Rose Midge.

~ TREATMENT of
~ a plant, I have ob-
| served, will depend
altogether on your
estimate or appre-
ciation of its na-
ture and character.
By observation, I
© have learned that

“i. in many respects a

plant is much like

an infant of tender age, only those
characteristics that are usually eopgid-
ered as peculiar to the infant are even

more accentuated in the plant. The
advantage lies with the infant. It can
apprise you of its sufferings by means

of its cries. The plant must suffer until

ou recognize its condition, which may
Gs too late. No one in this enlightened
age expects to rear healthy children in
unsanitary surroundings. This is the
era of hygienics. Clean houses, clean
yards, clean streets—pure food, pure
water and pure air—these we demand
for ourselves and our children. How
about our rose plants? If we permit
our homes to become: unsanitary, what
will follow? Disease and death! If
we permit our greenhouses to become
unsanitary, what will follow? Just as
surely as in the first case—disease and
death. The result is inevitable.

Beating the ‘‘Bug.’’

I have been asked
times without number
to tell how I have
been successful in
combating a _ certain
pest, known in - the
trade as the Reinberg
bug— a. pest that has
swept like a plague
through innumerable
rose houses, causing a
loss as great as $10,-
000 in a single year in
some ranges. So at
last I have decided to
tell, through the pages
of The Review, my
method of eradicating
every trace of this in-
sect from the Reinberg
ranges.

The- bug, or, more
correctly speakingy the
worm, so small as to
be scarcely recognized
by the naked eye, is
hatched from an egg
deposited by a fly un-
der the sepals of the-

By EMIL’ REICHLING.

blossom buds and, in their absence, and
then only, in the unfolding leaf buds.
The fly, which is the author of all the
trouble, makes its appearance as early
as the middle of February and does not
lay off work until as late as November
1. One marked peculiarity of this fly,
that attracted my attention early in my
acquaintance with it, is that it first at-
tacks the buds nearest the glass.

Entomologists’ Remedies.

The worms, soon as hatched, cut
into the pith™or heart of the -blossom
or leaf bud, completely blasting it. And,
although the general growth of the
plant is not impeded, the blossom buds,
and in their absence the leaf buds,
droop to one side, turn black and in
time fall off. So sweeping is the dev-
astation wrought by this microscopic
insect that in my own field of observa-
tion one man has been able to carry to
+9 market on a street car a day’s cut-
ting ffom one of the largest rose ranges
in the, country.

There have appeared at various times
in different publications quite learned
articles on the best methods of eradi-
cating this so-called bug. One of these
is known as the rotation method. It is

Larvae of the Rose Midge (much enlarged) and their Work.

AGAINST

assumed in the discussion of this
method that the rose is the only plant
subject to the attacks of this particular
insect. Arguing from this premise it is
easy to convince oneself that the way
to get rid of the trouble is to throw
the rose plants, root and branch, out of
the infested houses, clear the benches
of all soil, whitewash them and plant
them to carnations or some crop other
than roses for the period of a year.
It must be understood that during this
period no rose plant is to be brought

Y ¢into this house, much less grown there.

At the end of a year the house may
again be planted to roses, supposedly
without danger.

A second method consists in giving
the houses a thorough renovation in
midwinter. Both soil and plants must
be removed from the benches and hauled
to a distance, the benches sprayed with
a strong insecticide and new rose plants
and fresh soil placed in them. An-
other method, not so strongly advo-
eated, however, is ftmigating with
hydrocyanic acid gas. The objection to
this treatment is that.te do efficient
work in exterminating the insects, the
gas must be strong enough to injure the
plants.

I tried all of these methods and not
one of them proved practical. And
right here I began to think for myself.

A Practical Plan.

My thinking result-
ed in the conelu-
sion that the need of
the plant for sani-
tary surroundings is as
great as that of a
human being. I did
not rotate, nor did I
throw out any plants.
The first step was to
order a rake and a
broom for every man
in the section. Armed
with these tools, it was
the work of only a few
hours for them to have
every particle of trash
cleared from under the
benches—it is remark-
able what a variety of
things will find their
way under a bench—
and the walks swept as
clean as a parlor. The
surface of the ground
was scratched over to
let in the air.

The next thing in
the campaign for sani-

The Florists’ Review

JANuUARY 6, 1916.

Collapse of the Central Park Greenhouses, ‘Tilton, Iil.

tation was to get a quantity of air-
slaked lime. If that is not to be had,
get the unslaked lime and make it
into a bed from six to seven inches
deep and pour enough water on it to
slake it. When it has become thor-
oughly slaked and is in a mealy con-
dition, say next day, throw it under
the benches and on the soil on the
benches until everything looks white.
You need have no fear of injuring the
plants.

We were now ready for the final step
in extermination. In a house 285 feet
long, I made four small piles of tobacco
stems. On each pile I placed a table-
spoonful of red pepper and half a tea-
spoonful of powdered arsenic. If, how-
ever, your plants are soft and young,
the proportion of arsenic and pepper
will have to be slightly reduced. In
instances where the plants are badly in-
fested, it may be necessary to make it
stronger. The smudge created by burn-
ing these piles quite effectually killed
the fly.

The final step in my method was to
spray everything with a strong solution
of nicotine. This spraying destroyed
the worms or bugs on the infested
plants. This treatment and this alone
will completely eradicate this pest.

Success Is Lasting.

The rose range of which I am super-
intendent was, I believe, the worst in-
fested in the country a few years ago,
but during the last four years there has
been no slightest indication of the re-
turn of the pest. This fact I am bound
to attribute to my treatment as de-
scribed in this article and to its repe-
tition semiannually since then. It is
necessary, however, to add a few cau-
tions. Be on your guard during rainy
or cloudy weather. This is the time
when the pest is most likely to manifest
itself. Apply the treatment then. It
is a preventive as well as a remedy.
On light, clear days, spray freely with
water. Another point of importance to
remember is this: The use of the rake
and the broom should not be restricted
to any certain time or season. They
should be used as regularly as the
broom and dust cloth in a well regu-
lated house.

If you would grow good, strong rose
plants, if you would have sure crops,
if you would have your plants free from
pests—then first, last and always keep
your houses clean. Emil Reichling.

The rose midge, of which Mr. Reich-

ling writes so interestingly and forci-
bly, has been named by the scientists
Neocerata rhodophaga, and these same
scientists have declared that ‘‘it is
without doubt, when present,,the worst
pest, with which the rose grower has
to deal.’’?’ In America its ravages
were first observed in 1886, in the
eastern states. Eleven years later it
had traveled to Chicago, probably on
rose stock shipped from the east.

As its common name, midge, implies,
it is almost microscopically small.
The adult insect, or fly, is only about
one-twentieth of an inch long. The
egg, shown in the upper right-hand cor-
ner of the illustration on the preceding
page, and designated by the letter b,
is about one-seventy-fifth inch long.
In the upper left-hand corner of the
picture, and marked ¢, is the newly
hatched larva; below it is the fully
grown larva, d; then, to the right, is
the immature pupa in the cocoon, e.
The length of the full-grown larva is
about one-twelfth inch. The eggs, the
larve and the bodies of the flies are
all of a yellowish color.

John J. Davis, in a bulletin which
originally formed a part of ‘‘The
Twenty-seventh Report of the State
Entomologist of Illinois,’’ gives the
life history of the rose midge as fol-

_ lows: ‘*The female fly deposits its eggs

beneath the sepals of the flower buds
or between the folded leaves of the
leaf buds, and for this purpose is pro-
vided with a long, hairlike ovipositor.
The egg period is only two days, and
the young maggots, as soon as hatched,
begin their destructive attack upon the
buds. They grow rapidly, reaching
maturity in five to seven days, at the
end of which time they drop to the
soil, pupating there about two days
later within an almost transparent co-
coon. The adult fly emerges about six
days after pupation occurs, and eggs
are deposited for another generation
of maggots. The total life cycle in
summer is therefore about two weeks.’’

Mr. Reichling states that treatment
with hydrocyanic gas has failed be-
cause, ‘‘to do efficient work in exter-
minating the insects, the gas must be
strong enough to injure the plants.’’
A similar opinion is expressed in the
bulletin just quoted, but the bulletin
adds: ‘‘Notwithstanding the small
benefit so far realized from the use of
hydrocyanic acid gas for this insect,
it may prove to be effective if used
from the first to the middle of March,
or just as the first generation of flies
is appearing, and while the growth of
the maggot is slow. Any grower under-
taking this March treatment should
make continual close observations to
determine just when the flies begin to
emerge, at which time the gas should
be used without delay, and twice a
week for two weeks thereafter, and
once a week for the two weeks follow-
ing. As a rule the flies will begin to
emerge about a week and a half after
the maggots are first found. In addi-
tion to the fumigation, the plants
should be gone over carefully every
day and the infested buds cut off and
burned.’’

HAS HAD PLENTY OF GRIEF.

The holiday season was not one of
unalloyed joy at the Central Park
Greenhouses, Tilton, Ill., for the fail
of snow proved too heavy for one of
the houses to bear. The illustration
shows the result. The collapse oc-

curred during the evening of December
30; the photograph was made next
morning. ‘‘The greenhouses were of
the King truss roof type,’’ writes the
concern, ‘‘and that is what caused
such a complete collapse, as the north
house was pulled down by the one next
to it. We have had damage by fire,
by wind and by hail; now we have
suffered everything but a boiler ex-
plosion. While our insurance does not
cover a case like this, we intend to
save what we can and put up a smaller
temporary house for spring business.’’

DELIVERY UNDER DIFFICULTY.

The old-fashioned white Christmas
may be a fine thing to put the holiday
spirit into the buyers, but it adds im-
measurably to the difficulty of delivery,
especially for florists whose every-day
needs do not call for the maintenance
of an automobile. When Wm. Terrell &
Son tackled their deliveries on Christ-
mas distribution of purchases, the heav-
iest on record, they found Warsaw, Ind.,
under a blanket of ‘‘the beautiful’’ at
least six inches thick. The deliveries
are the task of George E. Terrell and
the illustration at the bottom of page
14 shows him on his holiday rounds.

GOLDEN GLEAM.

Although few concerns have intro-
duced a greater number of novelties
than has A. N. Pierson, Inc., of Crom-
well, Conn., it is not often that the
Pierson novelties are of Pierson rais-
ing; usually they are good things

PREPARING FOR SPRING.

Now that the holidays are over,
southern growers have a busy after-
math in cleaning and straightening up
the houses in preparation for the plants
intended for Easter. Clean the tables
lately occupied by the Christmas flow-
ering plants and put on a layer of fine-
ly sifted ashes. Left-over plants of

cyclamens, primulas and begonias can
be rearranged, giving them room to de-
velop properly. Stock plants of poin-
settias can be laid on their sides under-
neath a table in a carnation house, and
they will need no more attention until
time to start them up again in the
spring. Small plants of these, however,
in 3-inch or 4-inch pots, will need a
little water occasionally; otherwise

The Florists’ Review

JANUARY 6, 1916.

Collapse of the Central Park Greenhouses, Tilton, Ill.

tation was to get a quantity of air-
slaked lime. If that is not to be had,
get the unslaked lime and make it
into a bed from six to seven inches
deep and pour enough water on it to
slake it. When it has become thor-
oughly slaked and is in a mealy con-
dition, say next day, throw it under
the benches and on the soil on the
benches until everything looks white.
You need have no fear of injuring the
plants.

We were now ready for the final step
in extermination. In a house 285 feet
long, I made four small piles of tobacco
stems. On each pile I placed a table-
spoonful of red pepper and half a tea-
spoonful of powdered arsenic. If, how-
ever, your plants are soft and young,
the proportion of arsenic and pepper
will have to be slightly reduced. In
instances where the plants are badly in-
fested, it may be necessary to make it
stronger. The smudge created by burn-
ing these piles quite effectually killed
the fly.

The final step in my method was to
spray everything with a strong solution
of nicotine. This spraying destroyed
the worms or bugs on the infested
plants. This treatment and this alone
will completely eradicate this pest.

Success Is Lasting.

The rose range of which I am super-
intendent was, I believe, the worst in-
fested in the country a few years ago,
but during the last four years there has
been no slightest indication of the re-
turn of the pest. This fact I am bound
to attribute to my treatment as de-
scribed in this article and to its repe-
tition semiannually since then. It is
necessary, however, to add a few cau-
tions. Be on your guard during rainy
or cloudy weather. This is the time
when the pest is most likely to manifest
itself. Apply the treatment then. It
is a preventive as well as a remedy.
On light, clear days, spray freely with
water. Another point of importance to
remember is this: The use of the rake
and the broom should not be restricted
to any certain time or season. They
should be used as regularly as the
broom and dust cloth in a well regu-
lated house.

If you would grow good, strong rose
plants, if you would have sure crops,
if you would have your plants free from
pests—then first, last and always keep
your houses clean. Emil Reichling.

The rose midge, of which Mr. Reich-

Jing writes so interestingly and forci-
bly, has been named by the scientists
Neocerata rhodophaga, and these same
scientists have declared that ‘‘it is
without doubt, when present, the worst
pest with which the rose grower has
to deal.’’ In America its ravages
were first observed in 1886, in the
eastern states. Eleven years later it
had traveled to Chicago, probably on
rose stock shipped from the east.

As its common name, midge, implies,
it is almost microscopically small.
The adult insect, or fly, is only about
one-twentieth of an inch long. The
egg, shown in the upper right-hand cor-
ner of the illustration on the preceding
page, and designated by the letter b,
is about one-seventy-fifth inch long.
In the upper left-hand corner of the
picture, and marked ec, is the newly
hatched larva; below it is the fully
grown larva, d; then, to the right, is
the immature pupa in the cocoon, e.
The length of the full-grown larva is
about one-twelfth inch. The eggs, the
larve and the bodies of the flies are
all of a yellowish color.

John J. Davis, in a bulletin which
originally formed a part of ‘‘The
Twenty-seventh Report of the State
Entomologist of Illinois,’’ gives the

life history of the rose midge as fol-

lows: ‘‘The female fly deposits its eggs
beneath the sepals of the flower buds
or between the folded leaves of the
leaf buds, and for this purpose is pro-
vided with a long, hairlike ovipositor.
The egg period is only two days, and
the young maggots, as soon as hatched,
begin their destructive attack upon the
buds. They grow rapidly, reaching
maturity in five to seven days, at the
end of which time they drop to the
soil, pupating there about two days
later within an almost transparent co-
coon. The adult fly emerges about six
days after pupation occurs, and eggs
are deposited for another generation
of maggots. The total life cycle in
summer is therefore about two weeks.’’

Mr. Reichling states that treatment
with hydrocyanie gas has failed be-
cause, ‘‘to do efficient work in exter-
minating the insects, the gas must be
strong enough to injure the plants.’’
A. similar opinion is expressed in the
bulletin just quoted, but the bulletin
adds: ‘‘Notwithstanding the small
benefit so far realized from the use of
hydrocyanic acid gas for this insect,
it may prove to be effective if used
from the first to the middle of March,
or just as the first generation of flies
is appearing, and while the growth of
the maggot is slow. Any grower under-
taking this March treatment should
make continual close observations to
determine just when the flies begin to
emerge, at which time the gas should
be used without delay, and twice a
week for two weeks thereafter, and
once a week for the two weeks follow-
ing. As a rule the flies will begin to
emerge about a week and a half after
the maggots are first found. In addi-
tion to the fumigation, the plants
should be gone over carefully every
day and the infested buds cut off and
burned.’’

HAS HAD PLENTY OF GRIEF.

The holiday season was not one of
unalloyed joy at the Central Park
Greenhouses, Tilton, Ill., for the fall

the houses to bear. The illustration

curred during the evening of December
30; the photograph was made next
morning. ‘‘The greenhouses were of
the King truss roof type,’’ writes the
concern, ‘‘and that is what caused
such a complete collapse, as the north
house was pulled down by the one next
to it. We have had damage by fire,
by wind and by hail; now we have
suffered everything but a boiler ex-
plosion. While our insurance does not
cover a case like this, we intend to
save what we can and put up a smaller
temporary house for spring business.’’

DELIVERY UNDER DIFFICULTY.

The old-fashioned white Christmas
may be a fine thing to put the holiday
spirit into the buyers, but it adds im-
measurably to the difficulty of delivery,
especially for florists whose every-day
needs do not call for the maintenance
of an automobile. When Wm. Terrell &
Son tackled their deliveries on Christ-
mas distribution of purchases, the heav-
iest on record, they found Warsaw, Ind.,
under a blanket of ‘‘the beautiful’’ at
least six inches thick. The deliveries
are the task of George E. Terrell and
the illustration at the bottom of page
14 shows him on his holiday rounds.

GOLDEN GLEAM.

Although few concerns have intro-
duced a greater number of novelties
than has A. N. Pierson, Inc., of Crom-
well, Conn., it is not often that the
Pierson novelties are of Pierson rais-
ing; usually they are good things
picked out by the discriminating eye of
Wallace R. Pierson on his travels. But
Golden Gleam is a new mum that origi-
nated as a seedling raised in the
Cromwell greenhouses. It is a fine yel-
low in color, of excellent form and sub-
stance, coming in season during the last
ten days of October, second crown buds

they are liable to rot. Any plants
that were grown on tables for the cut
bracts can be dried off, lifted and put
in boxes or potted and placed under
the bench. Any unsold azaleas, which
are through flowering, may as well be

dominating, with a little clean sand
added.

GIGANTEUMS FOR EASTER.

In the northern sections giganteum

the benches and placed on top. They
will require a temperature of not over
60 degrees at night for a week or two.

black spot from the plants. Any
lumps of manure that has been used
for mulching can “be broken up and
the whole surface worked over, using
only the palm of the hand for this
operation. Use some care not to over-
water. When the plants begin to
break freely, another mulch of good
cow manure can be applied. Place this
in ridges between the rows, rather than
spreading it evenly all over. Keep a
careful watch on the ventilation, as
each fluctuation in the weather must
be met with a change in the ventilating
* machinery. Keep the plants tied up
neatly, but avoid crowding the foliage.

PROPAGATING BEGONIAS.

Leaf cuttings of Lorraine and Glory
of Cincinnati begonias should be in-
serted in the sand without delay. Se-
lect the healthy, medium-sized leaves
for this purpose. Any other kind will
probably root readily enough, but are
almost certain to die before the suck-
ers appear from the bottom. I have
tried splitting the big leaves of Cin-
cinnati down the middle of the stem
and also cutting them like a Rex be-
gonia and, while I have had fair suc-
cess with both plans, I do not recom-
mend either, as the results are too un-
certain. They root readily in a tem-
perature of 60 degrees or a little over,
in twenty to twenty-five days. The
suckers do not appear for a long time
after. Some growers allow the cuttings
to ain in the sand until the suckers
aver. and others pot them in 24-inch
pots as soon as well rooted. I prefer
the latter method. The mixture for

if the plants are too far advanced it
is almost impossible to hold them. I
prefer always to have to push them
towards the finish. If the buds can
be seen five weeks before Easter they
can be forced on time, with a week
to harden off, in a night temperature
of 68 to 70 degrees, with a good rise
during the day. They may require
some handling to get them all just

right, some having to be. hurried and
some held back, so that. houses with
different temperatures are needed to
handle them properly, especially towards
the finish, When they need to be re-
tarded, do not lower the temperature
too suddenly, as a change of 10 degrees
is liable to check their growth and,
when this happens, they are rather
difficult to start off ayain. Rather
drop by degrees for a few nights until
the desired temperature is reached.
Of course, when the buds are just
ready to crack open a big drop will
not affect them much. In the southern
sections of the south an ordinary rose
temperature of 56 to 58 degrees will
be about right. They may require a
little manipulation towards the finish,
but this is more than likely to be on
the holding back end. The plants at
first will not take much water at the
roots, especially if the pots are set
close together, but when the buds are
formed they will drink it up freely.
Spray freely, especially in the higher
temperatures, and do not let the aphis
get a start. The plants now run from
three to eight inches in height. pS

CYCLAMENS DYING OFF.

I would like té6 find out why my
cyclamens are dying off in suchsa queer
fashion. On some of the plants part
of the leeves get limp and soft, droop

and ually die. One plant I have
has é flowers left, but they still
are sta g up stiff and straight.

Some plants seem to lose only a few
leaves at a time and on others one-half
of the plant, including leaves, flowers
and buds, wilts down at one time. The
trouble did not show until the plants
were in the final pots, a 5-inch size.
They are being grown in a carnation
temperature, the same as I have always
used. The soil was composed of about
two-thirds loam, mixed with well de-
cayed cow manure and sand, and one-
third leaf-mold, also well decayed. I
have never had this trouble before and
always used the same proportion, with
possibly a little more leaf-mold in the
compost this year than in former years.

Examine the soil in cne or two pots.
Note if there are any grubs there.
These are often the cause of the trou-
ble you refer to, eating off practically
all the roots. These grubs come in
cow manure, which it is always safer
to sterilize before using, and are the
larve of the May beetle. Your com-
post and treatment appear to have
been all that they should be, so I think
the grubs are the cause of the injury.

NEAR THE WORLD’S TOP.

The accompanying general view of
the greenhouses of the Pikes Peak
Floral Co., of Colorado Springs, Colo.,
was taken since the damage to them
last summer by a hail storm had been
repaired. As the head of one of the
largest concerns-west of Chicago, Presi-
dent William H. Evans needs no in-
troduction to readers of The Review.

Another accompanying illustration
will give some idea of the excellent
facilities of this company’s greenhouse
packing room.

The third and last of the illustra-
tions herewith depicts the interior of
the retail store. One cannot imagine a
customer going dissatisfied from a shop
so well appointed as is this one.

TO ROOT BOXWOOD. -

Can you give me any idea of what it
is worth to root boxwood per thousand,
and the easiest way to do it? Any
information in regard to this will be
appreciated. T. H.—Mich.

I presume you refer to the dwarf
boxwood used for hedges. Cuttings
four to six inches long can be taken
in the autumn and rooted in flats of
sandy soil in a cold greenhouse. They
ean also be inserted in coldframes,
where a good mulch of dry leaves in
winter is necessary, sashes being used
to keep these dry, to exclude frost and
prevent the soil from heaving.

In April or the first half of May old
hedges may be pulled to pieces and
the divided portions planted in rows,
’ burying the stems well and not leaving
over one-fourth of the shoots above
ground. Soak well and tramp firmly.

If dry weather comes, an occasional
watering will be of benefit. Far the
largest part of the shoots will root
if they receive any sort of attention,
but it is hard to fix a price on rooting
them. So much must depend on who
is doing the work and the quantity
inserted. A small number will cost,

of course, proportionately more than a
large number. Even in the eastern
states it is quite feasible to tear old
hedges apart, replant them and get a
good catch, always provided that the
stems are well buried, watered and
firmly tramped. The firming is im-
portant.

MR. KUNDERD’S SUCCESSES.

Noticing in a recent copy of The
Review an article stating that A. E.
Kunderd, of Goshen, Ind., had sold his
stock of Gladiolus Myrtle at a high
price, reminded me of the wonderful
success this specialist has achieved dur-
ing the last few years. The originator
of a new ruffled type of which Glory
was the forerunner, he has also ad-
vanced to the front rank of hybridists,
with a larger amount of commercially
successful productions than any other
American grower.

Among the best known of his seed-

lings are the beautiful Mrs. Frank
Pendleton, Ruffled Glory, Chicago
White, the earliest white to date;

Myrtle, soft pink; Rajah, deep red;
Mongolian, yellow; Ida Van, cerise
scarlet, and Red Amaryllis, all awarded
highest honors in such shows as those
of the American Gladiolus Society, the
Massachusetts Horticultural Society,
the National Gladiolus Society of Eng-
land and the National Society of Horti-
culture, Paris.

The culture and selection of seedling
gladioli has been taken up so exten-
sively of late that a new introduction
must possess extraordinary merit in or-
der to create much of a sensation among
the many highly improved sorts that
have already made their mark in the
gladiolus. world.

The Kunderd introductions, owing to
the fact that they are distinctively
American, should be fully appreciated
by the American public, as until com-
paratively recently practically all the
leading named varieties, with few ex-

ceptions, were originated by foreign
growers.

Referring to an article published in
The Review of September 4, 1913, the
writer describes a visit to the gladiolus
gardens of Chamberlain & Gage, part
of which reads as follows:

‘‘A new variety of Kunderd’s, of
which Mr. Gage informed me he had
purchased the entire stock, will create
a sensation in the trade when intro-
duced, as it is a superb florists’ variety,
color a_ delicate cream-pink, with
creamy yellow throat and six enormous
blooms open at once on a tall, straight
stem.’’

This prophecy bids fair to be ful-
filled, as the variety mentioned, shown
by L. Merton Gage at the show of the
American Gladiolus Society at New-
port, R. I., last August, and named by
him Mrs. Dr. Norton, won first award
as best seedling never before exhib-
ited. This variety and a large flower-
ing lavender seedling named Julia T.
Fairbanks, also a Kunderd production,
were surrounded by admirers through-
out the show.

Mr. Gage, himself a hybridist of
note, is to be credited with a large
amount of business acumen and far-
sightedness in securing the stock of
what promises to be one of the best
selling varieties ever disseminated. It
is understood it will be distributed not
earlier than 1917. H. E. Meader.

TO KEEP BRUNNEBR IN BLOOM.

Please inform us, at your earliest
convenience, how to treat Cecile Brun-
ner roses. This is the first year we
have had them. At first they were fine
and bloomed by the hundred every day.
Now, however, there are only a few
flowers, though they are still of good
quality. J. A. C.—Mich.

J. A. C. does not state how his Cecile
Brunner roses were treated, but, judg-
ing from my own experience, I would
advise him to grow them in a tempera-
ture of 62 to 64 degrees at night. They
cannot be grown successfully in a Kil-
larney temperature; we have found the
heat insufficient. In a warmer atmos-
phere they carry through the short days
satisfactorily. In other respects their
treatment should be about the same as
for Killarneys. Fred C. Meyer.

A good sight for sore eyes are the
interiors—and especially have they been
so the last month—of the rose houses
of George A. Kuhl, of Pekin, Ill. All
told, there are 1,800 Richmond plants

Mr. Kuhl says the daily cut for De-

172 feet long, has run from 300 to 500.
In the illustration, Mr. Johnson, the

center of the house. He has been suc-
cessful with Richmond for Mr. Kuhl
for the last three years, bringing them
in just right for Christmas trade.

SOME OF LEAVES ARE BLACK.

We are sending you a few leaves
from Richmond rose plants. Some of
the leaves are black, while other leaves
on the same plant have a good green
color. Kindly tell us what is the cause
of this, if you can. J. B—ITl.

It is difficult to form an opinion as to
the trouble with a lot of plants by
simply examining a few wilted leaves.
Hence any opinion given in this case
must be guesswork to a great extent.
If roses are planted fairly close to-
gether and have made good growth, so
that the foliage is pretty heavy, and if
they are given a mulching of fresh ma-
nure or a commercial fertilizer contain-
ing a large percentage of ammonia, the
lower leaves are almost sure to turn

black from the free ammonia arising
from the ground, while the upper leaves
will not show any bad effect. This will
be the more noticeable if the soil
was on the dry side at the time the
feed was applied. Heavy sulphuring
will sometimes have this effect, but in
that case the leaves on the outside of
the benches will show the discoloration
most, while those nearer the center of
the bench, being more protected, will
show little bad effect. W.. J.B.

ANGLEWORMS A BLESSING.

We are enclosing samples of a worm
that got into the soil of our roses. This
worm was in the manure that we put
on the benches. We have taken off
all the manure, but a number of the
worms still are in the soil. We put
on a good application of air-slaked lime,
but that has failed to kill them all.
Kindly advise if these worms will dam-
age the plants and how we can get rid
of them. They are all through the soil
in places. G. F. F. C.—Mont.

The soil was as dry as a brick on
arrival and so were the worms, but
from the appearance of what was left
of them they were the common angle-
worm, which is considered indispensa-
ble in successful rose culture. These
worms will take the manure down into
the soil and digest it, making it im-
mediately available to the plant; be-
sides, through working in the soil, they
keep the pores open and thereby pre-

vent the soil from becoming sour. We
always have found that roses make
strong and vigorous growth when there
are plenty of these worms in ‘the soil.
We encourage them by applications of
manure. If they should grow too plen-
tiful it would be an easy matter to
reduce their number by an application
of air-slaked lime. As the worms die
in the soil, they will act as a fertilizer
to the plants. Taking it all in all, we

. consider this worm a great blessing to

PENN’S STORE PICTORIALLY.

An interesting account of the appear-
ance of the new store of Penn the Flo-
rist, at 124 Tremont street, Boston, ap-
peared in The Review for December
16—but there were no pictures of it.
Here are two.

One of the views is of the spacious
front on Tremont street, and was taken
December 18, 1915, the opening day.
The all-glass windows afford a clear
view into the shop. From this broad
entrance one enters the main business
lobby, the walls of which are entirely
of glass, plain and mirrored. On either
side of this pace are the great display
refrigerators, electrically lighted by
concealed bulbs.

The other view is that of the Italian
fountath court, the store’s main feature.
To quote from a Boston newspaper, this
court ‘‘is set off from the rest of the
shop by eight marble shafts, supporting
a frieze picked out in delicate relief in
keeping. with the spirit and design of
the court, and a decorative “glass ceil-
ing through which daylight enters. At
night exterior lights flood the court
with brilliancy.

‘(In the center of the tiled floor,
done in pattern of three colors, is a
delicate dolphin fountain, more than
five feet high, from which streams of
water -play continuously. Flanking the
fountain, in the four corners of the
apartment, are lamps of rare beauty,
done in black and gold.

‘‘The walls of the court are of Caen
stone finish on three sides. The Ham-
ilton place side is entirely of transpar-
ent glass, allowing a splendid view from
the street.’’ .

The color scheme of the store in gen-

eral is designed to show off the stock
to advantage and to enable customers
to make selections with a minimum of
difficulty, thereby helping to achieve
rapid and careful service.

MOTT-LY MUSINGS.

Julius Eger, of Schenectady, N. Y.,
reports a satisfactory holiday business,
both the Christmas and the New Year’s
trade being above the average. He
has the decoration for the Elks’ ball,
which is expected to be the best yet
attempted.

J. G. Hatcher, of Schenectady, ex-
perienced a big call for plants both at
the Schenectady and Amsterdam stores.

M. P. Champlin, of Schenectady, had
a good holiday trade, although many of
his patrons are students, who were
away for the holidays. Many orders
through the F. T. D. kept him busy.

The Sunnyside Greenhouses, of Sche-
nectady, experienced a phenomenal sale
on pot plants, especially in ferns. The
general shortage in carnations in this
section strengthened the price and
helped the sale on flowering and foliage
plants.

W. W. Grupe, of Schenectady, said
that the amount of business done was
the largest in his experience.

The Rosendale Flower Shop, of Sche-
nectady, enjoyed a large share of the
holiday business. The nursery depart-
ment is a valuable adjunct to the cut
flower section.

W. C. Eger, of Schenectady, had a
fine display of Dutch and Roman hya-
cinths and Paper White narcissi in
en in pots, which met with ready
sale,

Barney’s department store, of Sche-
nectady, made a fine showing of bloom-
ing plants and cut flowers, with the
season’s greetings conspicuously dis-
played.

E. V. B. Felthousen, of Schenectady,
predicts a banner call for geraniums in
season and is preparing for it.

The Schenectady Seed Co. of
Schenectady, cleaned out completely in
holiday greens and is preparing’ for
the seed season. This company is one
of the Burpee agents for this neigh-
borhood.

Fred Goldring, of Slingerlands, N. Y.,
said that the new year finds him pre-
pared and waiting for a share of the
good things the craft is promised—
big sales, prompt payments, small prof-
its and quick returns. His experience
of last year makes him optimistic.

Alfred Goldring, of Cobleskill, N. Y.,
reports an excellent holiday business,
with no salable stock left over. ‘‘And
now,’’ says he, ‘‘ prepare for the spring
rush,’?

The Yuess Gardens Co., of New-
burgh, N. Y., reports a banner holiday
trade. While the recent storm was at
its height, a chimney took a tumble,
but, fortunately, little damage was
done.

Valentine Burgevin’s Sons, King-
ston, N. Y., made their usual attractive
holiday display, both in the handsome
store and at the houses, with most sat-
isfactory results.

Henry Hansen, of Catskill, N. Y.,
had his usual satisfactory run of holi-
day business. There was a steady call
for well grown stock.

F, A. Danker, of Albany, N. Y., had
one of the finest holiday windows in
the city and had the stock at the houses
to suit all classes of patrons.

H. G. Eyres, of Albany, made a dis-

Tremont Street Front of Penn’s New Store, Boston.

TO KEEP BRUNNER IN BLOOM.

Please inform us, at your earliest
convenience, how to treat Cecile Brun-
ner roses. This is the first year we
have had them. At first they were fine
and bloomed by the hundred every day.
Now, however, there are only a few
flowers, though they are still of good
quality. J. A. C.—Mich.

J. A. C. does not state how his Cecile
Brunner roses were treated, but, judg-
ing from my own experience, I would
advise him to grow them in a tempera-
ture of 62 to 64 degrees at night. They
cannot be grown successfully in a Kil-
larney temperature; we have found the
heat insufficient. In a warmer atmos-
phere they carry through the short days
satisfactorily. In other respects their
treatment should be about the same as
for Killarneys. Fred C. Meyer.

A ‘‘PEEK-IN’’ ON RICHMOND.

A good sight for sore eyes are the
interiors—and especially have they been
so the last month—of the rose houses
of George A. Kuhl, of Pekin, Il. All
told, there are 1,800 Richmond plants
in the house the radiant interior of
which is represented in the illustration.

Mr. Kuhl says the daily cut for De-
ecember from this one house, which is
172 feet long, has run from 300 to 500.
In the illustration, Mr. Johnson, the

The Market.

‘*Clean as a hound’s tooth’’ fits the
local market to a nicety right now.
There is some stock to be had, but one
must be up early in the morning to
get it. Anything that looks like -a
flower sells on sight. Funeral work is
heavy. Carnations are being sold at
$5 to $6 per hundred; Paper Whites at
$4; lilies at $12.50; roses at $5 to $15
per hundred. A few freesias sell at $6
per hundred. Short tulips are scarce.
There is no large supply of any cut
flower promised for January. The
present condition doubtlessly will con-
tinue for several weeks.

then decided to celebrate by holding a
get-together jubilee banquet. All flo-
rists throughout the city, with their
wives and sweethearts, are invited to
attend.

The committee in charge of the ban-
quet promises to have something out
of the ordinary by way of entertain-
ment—not just like the flower show
smoker, but good, high-class entertain-
ment.

The Holiday Business.

Business during the holidays, espe-
cially at Christmas, was good. Every-
body seemed satisfied, and practically
everything in cut flowers and bloom-
ing plants was sold. Carnations took
the lead over roses in demand, and I
hear some fancy prices were obtained.
Roses, because of the cloudy weather,
were off color. Good poinsettias, both
cut and in pots, were offered; also aza-
leas, which found a ready sale. Cycla-
mens, begonias and primroses moved
well. The cloudy weather which has pre-
vailed for some time has shortened the
supply of roses and carnations. Lilium
giganteum seems to have disappeared
all at once. A few weeks ago one could
buy at one’s own price; now none are
to be had. Last week kept the florists
busy getting stock enough to fill orders,
as the high death rate has resulted in
much funeral work. New Year’s trade
was not up to expectations.

It Points
the Way

i

No man concerned with the publica-
tion of The Review is so foolish as
to believe it impossible for a florist
to do a wholesale business without the
use of this paper’s advertising columns.

But this much is certain: The man
who sells his stock by other means
chooses a more costly way of getting
business. And the extra cost:he takes
either from his profits or from his cus-
tomers.

There lies ahead of the craft a won-
derful opportunity for the development
of the wholesale plant trade. Thou-
sands of florists have large facilities
for selling to the public and few
facilities for producing what they sell.
They must buy. For the man who can
grow the stock the retailers need there
is no limit to the business that can be

The Market.

The New Year’s trade was brisk.
Owing to cloudiness, flowers were not
so plentiful as had been hoped and
many of the consignments were several
hours late. Two or three large consign-
ments of orchids from Canada arrived
in a frozen condition. Consequently or-
chids were obtainable for New Year’s
only from a few local growers. In fact,
most of the stock of flowers was cleaned
up New Year’s eve. Several balls and
parties have called for large numbers of
corsages, and this has kept the trade
busy. Funeral work has been heavy and
the market has been cleaned up every
day. Prices were a little advanced, but
are resuming their normal range.

Roses have been plentiful and of good
quality. Reds have received the big-
gest call, but other colors of all grades
have sold well. American Beauties have
been of splendid color and quality.
Lilies are slowing up. Valley was plen-
tiful and moved actively during the hol-
idays. Bouvardia, in pink and white,
sells well. Stevia also is found useful.
Paper Whites sell to advantage. Car-
nations, pink and white, are not over-
plentiful, but the darker shades of pink
drag a little. Violets are good and
meet with a fair demand. Mignonette,
daisies and snapdragons are on the
market, but the supply is limited.

Good business has been done in potted
plants. Some excellent Dutch hya-
cinths, jonquils, azaleas and primulas
have been disposed of. Greens of all
kinds are plentiful.

store of George T. Boucher. It meets
every requirement and is about the
only one of its kind here. The wood-
work is attractively finished in white
enamel.

The window display of the Rochester
Floral Co. last week was called ‘‘The
Steps of Time.’’ Twelve steps repre-
sented the twelve months, on which
flowers in various forms were placed.

The Market.

The end of 1915 saw a most satis-
factory condition of the market, and
if it is a criterion of what is in store
for us in 1916 we surely have a tre-
mendous year to look forward to.
Prices did not take the customary
drop right after Christmas, but held
firm. All stock remains quite scarce
and it is extremely difficult to fill regu-
lar orders satisfactorily. The present

shortage has existed longer than is
usually the case and there will have
to be a radical change in the cut be-
fore present market conditions are in-
fluenced to any extent. All stock is of
geod quality and there are no hold-
overs from day to day.

The demand for corsages seemed to
be stronger than that of previous
years and the prices were high. Added
to this was a large quantity of fu-
neral work. Although there was a
general clean-up on plants before
Christmas, quite a few orders were re-
ceived after that time. One big ad-
vantage of a shortage, such as existed
at Christmas, is that the usual com-
plaints are conspicuous by their ab-
sence. The stock last year was ex-
ceptionally fine, and as it was neces-
sary to bring stock into the market
every day there was little or no
pickled stock. Some of the stock did
not reach its destination in good shape,
but this was mostly the fault of trans-
portation.

Mr. Lubliner Weds.

William Lubliner, who _ conducts
flower stores at 123 and 225 Grand
avenue, took unto himself a wife Janu-
ary 2. Inasmuch as the engagement
was made public some time ago, there
is no chance for the assumption that
it was a leap-year proposal. The lady
was Miss Evelyn Blumenfeld, of 782
Cramer street. The nuptials were
solemnized in the red room of the
Hotel Pfister at 5:30 p. m.

The bride and groom left directly
after the ceremony for a honeymoon
trip through the south. There were
about fifty guests and a special train
brought most of them from Chicago,
as most of the relatives of both con-
tracting parties make that city their
home. The newly married couple ex-
pect to be gone about two weeks, after
which they will be at home to their
friends at 740 Prospect avenue. The
home is already prepared for their re-
turn and it is to be hoped that friends
will add the finishing touches while
they are in the enchanting southland.
It goes without saying that there were
flowers in abundance. Hed; 8.

BALTIMORE.

The Market.

Business during the first few days
after Christmas was rather slow, as
was expected, but during the latter
part of the week trade became better.
While there was no extraordinary de-
mand at New Year’s, sales were up
to the average. The demand, of course,
was mostly for red. A few cut poin-
settias were to be had and the red
roses were in fair supply, while the
red carnation cut was larger than that
at Christmas. Prices have dropped
somewhat in most lines. There are
many calls for blooming plants.

From present indications it seems as
though the flower-buying public does
not take kindly to the much advanced
prices prevailing on cut flowers during
the holiday season, and for that reason
are turning more and more to the
plants, which make a larger showing
for the same amount of money. The
increased plant sales must be at-
tributed to this condition.

carnations, about a week late for the
Christmas trade.

Pierce & Co. report the best holiday

last year’s committee acted upon. Some
interesting matters will be brought be-
fore the meeting and it is hoped all
those interested will be on hand.

The Market.

Shipments during the final week of
1915 were light and Christmas prices
were maintained. New Year’s orders
used everything in blooming plants
that remained unsold at Christmas.
The splendid business of the holidays
will long remain an _ inspirational
memory. .

American Beauties hold their place
at the head of the rose procession and
for the specials a dollar was the quota-
tion December 31. Hoosier Beauty,
Ophelia and Prima Donna brought
Christmas prices for New Year’s.
There was a surplus of long-stemmed
roses of some of the older varieties, De-
cember 31, but before noon of January
1 the demand had left the market about
bare.

Carnations were unexpectedly strong,
and the quotations for December 31
were $10 per hundred for reds and $8
per hundred for the best whites and
pinks. The supply, of ccurse, was lim-
ited. There was an abundance of val-
ley and lilies, the latter finding top at
$10 per hundred. The selected valley
sold at $4 per hundred.

Primulas and hyacinths in pots and
pans were in many of the wholesalers’
windows. A few poinsettias remain.
Violets appear to have grown greatly
in public favor. The wholesale market
could use a much larger quantity daily
than is arriving. For first-quality flow-
ers prices were firm at $1 per hundred.
Daisies, bouvardia, stevia, forget-me-
nots, pansies, wallflowers and mignon-
ette complete the list of offerings.

The orchid market was demoralized
through excess of arrivals and Decem-
ber 31 dollar values fell to 50 cents and
under. The top offer as the old year
passed was $40 per hundred.

Various Notes.

The New York Florists’ Club will
open its season for 1916 the evening
of January 10 at the Grand Opera

The Market.

The week following Christmas was
a rather trying one, because of the un-
usual shortage of flowers. The demand
for everything for the holiday required
an unusually close cut all along the
line. This, with the dark, stormy
weather which prevailed during the
closing week of the year, occasioned
the shortage. Carnations, usually 2
and 3 cents at this time, were short
at 6 and 8 cents; roses were from 10
cents up, as against 4 cents up, nor-
mally. It has been many years since
the death lists have been as large as
at present and the demand for flowers
has accordingly increased.

Various Notes.
A blizzard December 26, although

lasting but a short time, did consid-
erable damage. There were few green-
houses that did not lose§more, or less
glass, but the temperature was hot low
enough to occasion much loss of. stock
before repairs could be made. At the
Hampden Meadows Greenhouses, near
Warren, the wind blew over the large
chimney, but the bricks fell away from
the houses, which escaped damage. The
end of one of the houses of the Nor-
wood Floral Co., at Norwood, was torn
out by the wind, carrying with it a
portion of the roof.

Joseph E.. Koppelman has decided to
give up his farm of several acres at
Oaklawn and to remove the six large
greenhouses there to his place on
Pawtuxet avenue, near Riverside,
where he already has half a dozen mod-
ern houses.

A well attended meeting of the Flo-
rists’ and Gardeners’ Club of Rhode
Island was held in Swarts’ Lodge hall,
December 27, when plans were made
for holding the annual supper and the
installation of officers January 24. It
was announced that the secretary, Wil-
liam E. Chappell, is slowly convalescing
from serious injuries received about
ten days previously, when he fell down
the cellar stairs, badly straining his
left leg. A committee consisting of .
Robert Johnston, Eugene A. Appleton
and Alex. Macrae was appointed to
have charge of the arrangements for
the supper and entertainment. Plans
are being perfected for the conduct of
a membership campaign with the view
of securing the active affiliation of
every eligible person in the state.

William Cohen, formerly with Hoff-

OBITUARY

‘Mrs. Bertha Hendrichs.

Following an illness of several years’
duration, Mrs. Bertha Hendrichs, of
Dayton, O., 63 years of age, who con-
ducted a store at 808 East Fifth street,
Dayton, for twenty years, died at her
home December 26. The end had been
expected for several days.

Mrs. Hendrichs was a native of Ger-
many, but came to America when a
child. The flower store was started by
Herman Hendrichs, the husband, who
also is deceased. In 1896 Mr. and Mrs.
Hendrichs visited Mount Clemens,
Mich., with the view of improving the
health of the latter. A short time
afterwards Mr. Hendrichs suddenly
died from a stroke of apoplexy. Mrs.
Hendrichs took charge of the business
immediately after her husband’s death
and was active manager until a short
time ago, when her surviving daughter,
Mrs. L. D. Johnson, assumed manage-
ment of the business. ;

Burial was made at Woodland ceme-
tery. The members of the Dayton Flo-
rists’ Club, of which Mrs. Hendrichs
was a charter member, sent a large
decoration in appreciation. G.W.B.

Alexander Chisolm.

Alexander Chisolm, one of the old-
est and best known private gardeners
in New England, died at the Sturdy
Memorial hospital, Attleboro, Mass.,
December 21, following an illness of
several weeks. He was in his seventy-
fifth year. Forty years ago he entered
the employ of H. F. Barrows, at

Attleboro, and recently completed a re- -

layout of the grounds surrounding Mr.
Barrows’. new home. A_ son and
daughter survive him. Wests MM.

Daniel J. Hurley.

Daniel J. Hurley, 52 years of age, a
nurseryman of Springfield, Mass., died
December 25 after a long illness. Mr.
Hurley is survived by two sisters, Mrs.
C. Hickey, of Springfield, and Miss M.
Hurley, of Plymouth.

Major Frank Holsinger.

Major Frank Holsinger, Kansas
pioneer and authority on horticulture,
died suddenly last week at his home
at Rosedale, a suburb of Kansas City.
He was 80 years old.

Major Holsinger was born in Penn-
sylvania. He first went to Kansas be-
fore the Civil war and located south
of Lawrence. He took part in several
of the border war engagements and
when the Civil war broke out he re-
turned to his native state and enlisted
in the Eighth Pennsylvania Reserve.
He was promoted to the rank of major
during the Virginia campaign and
after the war he had charge of the
Freedmen’s Bureau of Texas. In 1868
he returned to Kansas and settled on
the 160-acre farm at Rosedale, where
he lived until recently. He has filled
the offices of president and treasurer of
the Kansas State Horticultural Society,
being one of its organizers. Several
years ago, in order to interest children
in fruit growing, Major Holsinger gave
away young fruit trees at the close of
the school year, with instructions as
to how to care for them.

Major Holsinger was prominent in
politics, being candidate for governor

of Kansas in 1900 and for state sen-
ator on the Prohibition ticket in the
780s. -He is survived by his wife and
six children: Mrs. George Rose, George
Holsinger, C. V. Holsinger, professor
of horticulture of the Milwaukee Hor-
ticultural College; Gerald Holsinger,
Mrs. Maude Wilson and Miss E. Hol-
singer. Two of the sons conduct a
nursery business at Rosedale, under the
name of Holsinger Bros.

Charles L. Gole.

After being confined to his bed four
months with cancer, Charles L. Gole
died recently at his home in Shenan-
doah, Ia. Previously to coming to
Shenandoah six years ago he had con-
ducted a seed business for a number
of years at Crystal Lake, Ill. On re-

moving to Shenandoah he became inter-

ested in growing gladiolus bulbs and
hardy plants. Interment was at Crystal

- Lake.

William J. Foster.

William J. Foster, of Westerly, R. L,
died December 25 of heart disease at
the railway station in Westerly, while
awaiting a train that brought a sister
on a visit to Westerly. Mr. Foster was
born in Westerly about forty-seven
years ago, although he appeared to be
much older. He was the only son of
the late J. B. Foster, who was the head
of the defunct Pawtucket bank. Mr.
Foster until recently was proprietor of
the Riverside Greenhouses, which he
conducted for a number of years after
his father’s failure. He was unmar-
ried and is survived by four sisters.

N. Y.—Miss Ella E.
Kirchhoff, daughter of the Pembroke
florist and bulb grower, is a student in

Pembroke,

the class in horticulture at Cornell
University, Ithaca.

Bangor, Me.—‘‘Christmas business
in Bangor was the best since 1913,’’
according to J. Martin, Jr., who, in
speaking of his own trade, said that
everything sold remarkably well.

Whitneyville, Oonn.—Hubert Grove
had a close call recently when the
wagon in which he was sitting was
struck by an automobile. Mr. Grove
was‘hurled to the ground and sustained
bad bruises, but was not seriously in-
jured.

Yonkers, N. Y.—The store of the New
York Floral Co. has been purchased by
Gus Massas, who has been assistant
manager of the branch for a long time.
Charles Rovatzos, the former manager,
has taken charge of another store oper-
ated by the concern.

Westboro, Mass.—The severe wind
storm that visited Westboro December
26 broke several hundred panes of glass
in the greenhouses of Paul F. Bingham,
who telephoned to the fire department
to bring canvas to spread over the open-
ings in the greenhouses, under which a
large quantity of carnations were com-
ing into crop.

Wichita, Kan.—aA fire which orig-
inated in the boiler house of the range
of William Shick played havoe in six
of the greenhouses. Considerable glass
was broken by the heat and a large
quantity of stock was ruined. The
heating system was completely wrecked
and most of the stock was injured
by exposure to the weather.

Grand Rapids, Mich.—The result of
the balloting at the annual meeting of
the Michigan State Horticultural So-
ciety was as follows: President, C. A.
Pratt, of Benton Harbor; vice-presi-
dent, C. A. Bingham, of Birmingham;
secretary, Robert A. Smythe, of Benton
Harbor; treasurer, Henry Smith, of
Grand Rapids.

Anderson, Ind.—Klus & Son felt so
sure that Christmas trade would be
unusually active that they opened a
second and more centrally located
store at 922 Meridian street. The old
store at 1100 Main street did a much
larger business than it had done the
previous Christmas, but still it did not
eclipse the new store in the volume of
sales. The store of Williams & Mat-
thews did well, and Stuart & Haugh,
the largest growers here, reported an
increased trade over a year ago.

Rantoul, Ill.—H. M. Morris has rented
his 10-acre fruit and truck garden and
his greenhouses to S. D. Miller. Mr.
Morris will remain on the place until
Mr. Miller, his son-in-law, shall have be-
come fully acquainted with his new pro-
fession. Mr. Morris is 70 years old and
says he wants to take a rest. He has
thirty colonies of Italian bees and con-
siders that the taking care of these
should furnish sufficient recreation for
him ‘‘Work,’’ he says, ‘‘is the only
road to contentment and long life.’’

Madison, N. J.—M. C. Ebel, secretary,
of Madison, N. J., states that the na-
tional codperative committee of the Na-
tional Association of Gardeners has is-
sued a communication to local horticul-
tural societies offering to supply free
of charge a series of papers on horti-
cultural subjects for discussion at their
monthly meetings during 1916. This of-
fer is also extended to any other horti-
cultural organization or educational in-
stitution. At the national convention
of the association in Boston recently,
a number of papers were read which
elicited the comment that they were
among the best essays ever presented in
Horticultural hall. The subjects re-
lated to the profession of gardening,
country estate management and the
young gardener’s opportunity in this
country. It was proposed, with the fore-
going result, that some provision be
made to give general publicity in gar-
deners’ circles to the contents of these
papers. ‘‘Is Gardening a Profession?’’
by W. W. Ohlweiler, of St. Louis, is
the title of the first paper of which
copies are to be supplied.

A Goop New Year’s business almost al-
ways follows a good Christmas, and vice
versa.

SoME people are too easy-going to dis-
criminate in their buying, but the day
usually comes that shows the need for dis-
crimination.

THE call for funeral flowers during the
last month has exceeded anything hereto-
fore known in the trade and has been ap-
parent in practically every part of the
country. :

It will be a fine, long season this year,
Easter being unusually late, April 23, but
the bedding plant people will have their
own troubles to find space for two crops
so close together as they will be needed
this spring.

RETAIL florists should not seek to de-
feat wholesalers’ efforts to prevent cut
flower prices from slipping back to the
low levels of last season. Almost every-
thing a grower uses has gone up in price
and the grower is entitled to the assis-
tance of the retailer in maintaining a
higher price for flowers. By charging
the public a little more one can afford
to pay a little more,

PUSSY WILLOWS.

Will you please tell me how to treat
pussy willow spikes after cutting them
in order to make them open?

J. L. R.—Va.

Stand the spikes in wide-mouthed
vases of water in a warm, moist green-
house. You can treat sprays of
forsythia, Spirea arguta and Thun-
bergii and other shrubs}in the same
way and they will open their flowers.

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.

Anderson, A. C., Columbus, Neb.

THREE YEARS.

Fraser, James, Morristown, N. J.
Oppenhine, Manuel, Olean, N. Y.

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 are sent.

‘BRINGING THEM INTO LINE.

A certain town not a great distance
from one of the big-city wholesale mar-
kets possessed special attractions for
growers because of low realty values,
low tax rate and the unpretentious
character of its citizens. Within a year
half a dozen new establishments of
moderate size came to join the grow-
ers’ colony there, in the aggregate ac-
quiring considerable street frontage.
But in the course of time a demand
developed for water, sewers, lights, pav-
ing and other municipal works. And
the florists, finding that the special as-
sessments for improvements that would
be of little immediate benefit to them
would run into thousands of dollars,
one and all joined the ranks of the ob-
jectors. Whereupon the village board
passed a law requiring that before a
greenhouse can be built in the village
written consent must be secured from
the owners of all property within a
quarter of a mile. Virtual prohibition!
And several of the growers planned
additions this spring.

THE PRAIRIE SPIRIT.

The College of Agriculture at the
University of Illinois has issued a hand-
somely printed and heavily illustrated
pamphlet entitled ‘‘The Prairie Spirit
in Landscape Gardening,’’ which,
although it might almost as well have
been called an appreciation of the work
of Jens Jensen and O. C. Simonds, un-
doubtedly will have a large influence
on the rural aspect of Illinois. The
monograph is from the pen of no less
an authority than Wilhelm Miller, of
the division of landscape extension in
the university’s department of horti-
culture, and is a plea for the restora-
tion of ancient Illinois through the
planting of native ‘‘stratified’’ ma-
terial, or that which ‘has strong hori-
zontal branches or flower clusters. The
text is excellent, but the illustrations
are even better as affording inspiration
to ‘‘go and do thou likewise,’’ except
in the cases of certain ‘‘horrible ex-
amples.’’ While the pamphlet is too
elaborate and expensive to be dis-
tributed broadcast, it is stated that a
copy will be sent ‘‘free to anyone in
Illinois who will sign a promise to do
some permanent ornamental planting
within a year.’’ The Review suggests
that each of its subscribers in Illinois
write to Urbana for a copy, read it,
and pass it on to a neighbor.

CAPRICIOUS QUALITY CAUGHT.

Quality is pot a new word in the
lexicon of the business man. He can
roll it off his tongue as glibly as he can
his endless stream of figures. But qual-
ity as it applies to the actual efficiency
of a trade journal, as an advertising
medium, has been given a new Signifi-
cance. It has been brought down to
earth and plucked of its fine plumage
and verbiage. Stripped down to its
bones and sinews, the quality of a trade
journal as an advertising medium sim-
ply means the pulling power of the ad-
vertisements. As an example, the pull-
ing power of The Review’s advertise-
ments is vouched for by the testimonials
sent in by those who insert ads. Here
are two letters, unsolicited, that arrived
in the course of a day’s business:

We sold out all our sweet*peas as a result of
the classified ad, and still are getting orders for
them, on which we have to return the money.—
J. ee Edwards, Coatesville, Pa., December 31,
1915

My ad in your recent issue brought good re-
turns.—E. G.
29, 1915.

The grower represented by a classi-
fied ad has a sales map as wide as the
country. His ad is a silent but effi-
cient salesman that talks to a host of
good buyers, each of whom has done a
big holiday business. The year 1916
has already been designated Prosperity
Year. The classified section is the path
that leads to a share of the good things
—easy, quick sales, at little cost to the
advertiser.

The Market.

Market conditions during the week
following Christmas were the direct
antithesis of those existing a year ago.
Then, everything was plentiful and
prices were weak. This year, there
was a scarcity in everything and
prices were stiff. Practically all
houses have been filling cut flower or-
ders short and in many cases declining
to accept orders from other than regu-
lar customers until conditions change.
As to the New Year’s business, it was
much the best this market ever has
enjoyed, in spite of the fact that the
supply was so extremely short that a
normal demand would have cleaned
it up.

Beauties are more plentiful than any
other item, and the shorter grades clear
promptly. Quality, on the whole, is
fairly good. Roses with short and me-
dium stems are at a premium without
regard to color or variety. The longer
grades do not move with the same de-
gree of celerity as the shorter ones, be-
cause a large part of the stock is used
for funeral work. Killarney and
White Killarney are in larger supply
than other varieties, with Russell as a
close second. To say what particular
varieties have been most in demand
during the week would be a difficult
thing, for the demand did not resolve
itself into that question, but rather
into the one of getting any stock at
all. White roses have cleared with un-
usual speed as a result of the heavy
run of funeral work.

The supply of carnations continues
as short as it was a week ago. The
few that find their way to the market
are sold at the top dente without a

singles are short. Sweet peas, as a

There are not many jonquils on the
market as yet, and those that have
put in an appearance are undersized,
but they are moved without difficulty.
Valley, to maintain its reputation, is
again on the short side of the market.
The demand for funeral stock quite
easily takes care of the Easter lily
receipts. Daisies and mignonette are
moving nicely. Bouvardia and stevia
are decidedly short. Paper Whites
clear as fast as they reach the market.
Romans, also, sell well. Tulips have
put in an appearance. There are not
enough pansies available to cut much
of a figure, but they are picked up at
once. Gardenias and orchids continue
scarce.

As a result of the general shortage
in cut flowers, greens are moving with
greater dispatch. Good’ plumosus is
unusually scarce, but, for the matter
of that, all kinds of greens lean toward
the short side.

December Weather.

December was almost normal in the
matter of mean temperature, but it
was unfavorable for growers because it
had only thirty-four per cent of the
possible amount of sun; usually Decem-
ber gives forty per cent. There were
only five clear days; nine partly bright;
seventeen cloudy, the sun not appear-
ing at all in twelve of the latter.

Gardeners Turn Florists.

Possibly the most interesting news
of the week is the report that the L. A.
Budlong Co., said to operate the world’s
largest market garden, is to build a
range of rose houses this spring.

J. J. Budlong, president of the L. A.
Budlong Co., also is president of the
Lake View Trust and Savings Bank.
He states that the plans are not suffi-
ciently complete to permit of an an-
nouncement, but that it is the purpose
of his company to make a start this
season with a range of greenhouses that
can be added to as the new department
develops. He expects at least thirty
days to elapse before all details are
settled.

Push Freesia

It is one feature of service to let your patrons know what
you have to offer them that is of exceptional value. That
is why we are telling you that we havea supply of Freesia
such that you can make it your leader this week.

The quality of the stock is of the best. and the shipments
that we are receiving daily enable us to furnish you any
quantity you want. The price is right.

On other stock, we are as well prepared to take care of
you as conditions permit. There is no oversupply of any-
thing, so prices are fairly stiff, but we always meet the
market price. We never overcharge.

ness. It, has large acre holdings north-
west of the city and it is here, just
north of Howard avenue, outside the
city limits, that the greenhouses will
be built. It is understood that a 250-
horsepower Kroeschell fire and water
tube steam boiler has been ordered,
which would have a capacity of four
600-foot houses at a rose temperature.

Various Notes.

It is stated that in the five days pre-
ceding Christmas the Wells-Fargo ex-
press took 123 wagon-loads of cut flow-
ers out of the Chicago market. Both
the other companies also carried away
large quantities of stock.

Now that there has been sufficient
time for a more careful casting up,
Christmas business looks better, even,
than it did before. For instance, R. B.
Brenton states that Kennicott Bros.
Co., on making comparisons, finds the
1915 Christmas total twice as large as
in 1913, the best previous record, and
three times the sales for Christmas,
1914,

On account of the holidays, the meet-
ing of the Chicago Retail Florists’ As-
sociation scheduled for Monday eve-
ning, January 3, will be held the eve-
ning of Monday, January 10, at the
offices of Payne Jennings & Co., 123
West Madison street.

It is stated that about February 1
the George Wittbold Co. will close the
branch store on Clark street. This store
is one of the oldest retail stands in
Chicago and always has had a good
trade, but owing to an increased busi-
ness at the main establishment on Buck-
ingham place, and increased facilities
for handling orders from that place, it
is the desire of Louis Wittbold to con-
centrate the business under one roof.

A novel, but logical, reason for the
increased local demand has been of-
fered by Joseph Foerster, of Kyle &
Foerster. He says there is a large
proportion of Chicago’s population
that has been in the habit, from time
immemorial, of spending goodly sums
of money to slake its thirst. The Sun-
day closing law taught many hitherto
daily imbibers that they could pass a
day without drinking. If one, why not
more? As a result, more men spend

their Sundays at home. And when a
man is going straight home, what more
natural than a bunch of flowers for
the wife?

For the opening of the new building
of the South Shore Country Club, New
Year’s eve, C. Clemensen, 7801 Railroad
avenue, decorated 350 tables. He had
R. J. Parker as his chief assistant.

Although he has no records for com-
parison, A. T. Pyfer gives it as his
opinion that many growers are cutting
more stock this season than last,
which makes the higher prices espe-
cially profitable.

Having at last secured a location on
which he has had an eye for many
months, F. C. Mendonza, 436 East
Forty-third street, soon will remove to
the southwest corner of Grand boule-
vard and East Forty-third street.

Sam Pearce, who for a fortnight
had been sending jonquils to the E. C.

Amling Co., began shipping tulips, the
first of the season, in the closing week
of 1915.

A new building has been put up at
9457 South Winchester avenue, by
Edmund D. Watkins, who will open a
flower store there before Easter.

Daily shipments of roses_ to
Rochester, N. Y., are reported by Felix
Reichling, of the Peter Reinberg city
store.

Society affairs are less numerous than
usual this season, according to C. A.
Samuelson, who adds that funeral
work has been exceptionally heavy
during the last month.

J. Hartwick, architect and engineer.
He has already begun work on the new
standard design that the firm will put
out for 1916. Mr. McKee says the
new houses will be a surprise.

Mortuary affairs have kept W. J.
Smyth and his staff on the jump since
Christmas, which gave him the largest
three days’ sales he ever has had.

An unusually successful run of holi-
day ‘business is reported by H. P.
Gerhardt, of Wilmette, who says prac-
tically all of his trade was in azaleas,
begonias and cyclamens.

A most satisfactory holiday business
in pot covers and baskets is reported
by the Johnson Basket Co., 3205 Fuller-
ton avenue.

When it comes to physically tough
nuts to crack, Paul Klingsporn, of the
Chicago Flower Growers’ Association,
ranks among the hardest on the mar-
ket, and yet the grip got him down
December 30. He is on the job again
this week.

According to F. O. Franzen, his
Christmas business showed a fifty per
cent increase over that of a year ago.

January 4 William Homburg joined
the sales force of Perey Jones. :

To make more space for the cut
fluwer department, which was feeling
the need of additional elbow room, a
general rearrangement has been made
in the store of the A. L. Randall Co.
The entire Wabash avenue frontage,
with the exception of that used for the
office, is now devoted to baskets, pot-
tery and garden accessories. The cut
flower department is immediately back
of this, running from the alley to the
middle of the floor. From the middle,
where the cashier’s cage now stands,
to the office is occupied by general sup-
plies. According to Frank M. Johnson,
under the new arrangement the second
floor, other than space used for cut
flowers, will be used for purposes of
display and sales only.

Joe Marks, of the A. A. Arnold
Paper Box Co., left January 6 on his
semiannual western trip.

George Mohn, who has been with
George Wienhoeber for some time, has
returned to Vaughan’s Seed Store,
where he was formerly employed.

At Maywood, the A. F. Amling Co.

already has begun to replant some of
its Beauty houses.

In the opinion of Philip Schupp,

| manager of the J. A. Budlong whole-

sale house, the rose supply is likely to
remain on the short side for some time.

Another victim has been added to
the list of those suffering with grip.
The unfortunate is J. R. Quallich, of
the A. L. Randall Co.

The last three days of 1915 were de-
voted by D. D. P. Roy to removing
from room 908 Federal Life building
to room 1005. The new quarters are
fully five times as large as the old
ones and are particularly pleasant, as
they overlook Grant park and the lake
front.

Stielow Bros. Co., which is putting
up some new Garland houses at Niles
Center, for roses, has ordered a new
Kroeschell fire and water tube high
pressure steam boiler to heat the range.

If the closing weeks of 1915 seemed
to bring ill fortune to the employees
in George Reinberg’s salesroom, the
new year has made reparation. Man-

A. J. Stahelin, of Redford, Mich.,

NEWARBE, N. J.

The Market.

Business kept up well during the
week following Christmas. There was
a considerable call for flowers for va-
rious New Year’s events, some of the
stores having large orders for decora-
tions. There has been much funeral
work during the last ten days.

All Newark florists are optimistic.
Now that the holidays are past, there
will be a round of social events until
Lent. While only a small part of these
will be big affairs, there will be quite
a demand for decorations.

The price of flowers has kept up well
for several weeks. Many persons have
purchased plants, instead of cut flow-
ers, because of this. Carnations are
scarce. At one time red carnations
cost 15 cents each at wholesale and
roses cost 15 cents each. They are
somewhat cheaper at present. Azaleas
have been selling well and are of ex-
cellent quality. Marguerites in pots
now are seen in the market. Sweet
peas are a little more plentiful than
they have been, but are not yet offered
in large quantities. Violets have been
scarce. Orchids are somewhat more
plentiful again. Mignonette has ap-

peared.

Immediately after Thanksgiving the
weather cleared and real warm weather
prevailed until noon of Christmas, when
the snow began falling. Naturally, the
good weather conditions should have
brought along a fine quality of stock
and in abundance. Both were the re-
sult, but the supply in any line, and at
any time, was not more than sufficient
to meet the demand. All the whole-
salers did a large out-of-town business,
and a large demand for flowers is fast
being developed in nearby towns.

and bloom. The greater part of the
stock was of the long and medium
grades. Few shorts could be obtained,
which was a bad feature for the re-
tailer. Killarney and White Killarney
sold lower than other roses, the best
going at $15 and the shorts at $5 per
hundred. Richmond, Shawyer, Taft,
Killarney Brilliant and other special
varieties brought from $7 to $25 per
hundred. Immediately after Christmas
the prices dropped, but not so low as
they formerly were. Not nearly enough
American Beauty roses could be ob-
tained. They sold well at from $2 to
$10 per dozen.

Utah carnations were scarce, but what
were placed on the market were supe-
rior to any others. The best red carna-
tions sold as high as $10 and the pink
and white at $9 per hundred. Large
shipments of carnations were brought

in from California and everybody had
plenty. After Christmas, carnations
sold for $5, $4 and $3 per hundred.

Plants are one of the big features at
Christmas. Everybody wanted them
and the fine weather conditions made
it easy to make large shipments be-
cause of not having to protect the
plants against frost. A large stock of
cyclamens, peppers, poinsettias, azaleas,
Cincinnati and Chatelaine begonias and
ferns were disposed of. The unceasing
call for plants soon found the growers
without stock.

Funeral work was heavy, thus increas-
ing the holiday rush. For a few days
immediately after Christmas the retail-
ers felt a general slump in business, but
the wholesalers disposed of their stock
on account of resupplying the retailers.
New Year’s created a little larger de-
mand for flowers than usual.

Various Notes.

The Willis-Horne Floral Co. reports
that Christmas business was exception-
ally good and says the outlook is en-
couraging.

The Huddart Floral Co. had one of
its greatest Christmas rushes, with little
time for rest for two days and two
nights.

Ernest A. LLambourne recently opened
at 73 South Main street one of the

reports having done an exceptionally

PHILADELPHIA.
The Market.

There is a dearth of flowers quite
surprising at this season. The New
Year’s business was all that could be
desired; everything was consumed at
satisfactory prices—consumed so eager-
ly that the wholesalers have been won-
dering whether they asked enough for
their stock, and consoling themselves
with the thought that if they did not
they at least encouraged business. Gen-
erally speaking, prices are about the
same as they were immediately after
Christmas, though there are some nota-
ble exceptions. . One wholesaler is get-
ting Christmas prices for his roses
even now and disposing of them with
less pressure from the buyers on his
grading. The activity is due primarily
to the short supply. The bulk of the
flowers now offered are roses and the
rose crop is lighter than it was just be-
fore Christmas. There are other rea-
sons: The large amount of entertain-
ing socially; the large amount of sick-
ness and even of death; the heavy ship-
ping, and, on January 3, the political
offerings to the new city administra-
tion.

There are several features of the
market that are of especial interest.
Most important among them is the val-
ley shortage. Lily of the valley is
forced by a few large growers, who
calculate with extreme nicety the needs
of the market. They deal.out the fra-
grant spikes with a liberal hand when
unhampered. Now, however, they have
their troubles. Much of the valley has
remained in Hamburg, tied up by the
British. That which has arrived is in
bad shape, we are told, being heated
in transit, a fatal mishap. Anyway,
the large proportion of the valley in-
tended for flowering at this time did
not flower. There seems little chance
of relief. The next odd feature of the
market is the oversupply of gardenias.
They could not be promised when need-

ed, before Christmas; afterwards they
came in a great wave that swept the
demand before it. Gardenias are the
only flowers in oversupply.

The remainder of the market may be
best described by saying that the whole-
salers are devoting all their energies
to getting flowers into town in time
to fill their orders. They meet with
moderate success. White lilac has ar-
rived, as well as freesia; both are good.
This cannot be said of the tulips; Mon-
tresor, Scarlet Duc and La Reine are
poor. There are a few Trumpet Majors,
with indications of more soon to follow.
The poinsettia is about over. Aspara-
gus is in fair demand.

Club Meeting.

The third of the series of debates
scheduled for the Florists’ Club was
held at the meeting of January 4, in
the club rooms in Horticultural hall.
The subject was, ‘‘Is the Grower or His
Agent Entitled to Sell Both at Whole-
sale and Retail?’’

The affirmative was assigned to Wil-
liam H. Taplin, and the negative to
Arthur A. Niessen. After the debate
the club voted that it was all right for
members to sell at wholesale and re-
tail if they so desired.

The following names were proposed
for membership and were favorably re-

rice for its stock, it quits when its
imit has been reached; it will ‘‘ buy
its head off’’ if the middle class can
get a show for its money. I have a
recollection: of a Christmas about twen-
ty-five years ago, when the New~ York
wholesalers supplied this market. They
put their heads together. and shoved
prices so high on Christmas ofders- that
when the goods came we could not get
the wholesale price for them. They re-
duced the bills before they collected
them. New Yorkers will remember that
they let the wholesalers keep the stock.
It probably was the worst year i
wholesalers and growers ever had.
Pittsburgh keeps its limit down to a
people’s pocketbooks and does business.

The Market.

Business following Christmas was;

good and there were many orders. for | :

large decorations and funeral pieces.
There was not much of a drop in prices
of cut flowers. Carnations remain
scarce. Single violets also are scarce,
but the crop is doing well and in a few
days there will be plenty of them.
Valley and sweet peas are abundant.

Various Notes.

The W. E. Day Co. was busy New
Year’s day, with decorations for-a
large ball in the Onondaga hotel. This
concern had an attractive window of
Lilium speciosum, daffodils and orchids.

The Baker Floral Co. is cutting some
fine Cattleya Triane and C. Perci-
valiana.

The P. R. Quinlan greenhouses are
producing a fine cut of roses. A house
of sweet peas looks promising and the
carnations are on full crop. . Dwyer,
the manager, is well pleased with the
holiday trade.

cialty of press, agen. has his houses
full of fine sto He says he sells them
out of 2%-inch and 3%-inch pots,

DIRT BANDS—Experience in Using Them

Bird-in-Hand, Pa., March 23, 1914.

F. W. Rochelle & Sons,

Chester, N. J.

Gentlemen: In reply to your query would state
that I planted seedling stock plants and snap-
dragon cuttings in the first lot of bands that I
received from you early in January.

We took some of these out and planted them
where they are to remain about the 15th of
February. They made GOOD GROWTH while
in the bands, and transplanted AS THOUGH they
had never been moved at all.

I have now about 14,000 carnation plants
started in 2-in. bands which are making a RAPID
GROWTH, scarcely losing a plant in transplant-
ing from the sand.

also have about 20,000 aster plants trans-
planted in 2-in. bands which can stay there till
time to plant out of doors WITHOUT FEAR OF

BECOMING ROOT BOUND, as would be the case

if I used 2-in. ae

Plants SELDO BECOME ROOT BOUND

ap 2 to peo them IN THE DIRT BANDS,

and DO NOT REQUIRE NEAR THE AMOUNT

OF ATTENTION that a pot plant does, in water-

ing, shifting, transplanting, etc.

I make my bands and set them in flats, as I
make them up, each flat holding 117.

When we get crowded indoors it takes but a
short time to move the flats to a cold. frame,
soa _ harden them off before setting them in
the field.

One man can set MORE THAN ANOTHER
TIME AS MANY (twice as many) plants in the
field from these bands and flats than he can from

ts, and after he is through DOES NOT HAVE

HE BOTHER OF GATHERING UP, CLEAN-
ING, and STORING AWAY A LOT OF POTS.

I believe anyone using these bands ONCE
WILL BECOME A REGULAR CUSTOMER.

Yours truly,
H. B. Weaver.

Mr. Weaver grows carnations, mignonette,
sweet peas, asters, etc. He ordered 5,000 Dirt
Bands the first year, 60,000 the second year, and

The Market. ut

New Year’s business was good and
used up practically everything in the
market. Since then business has been
fairly brisk.

Roses are in good supply and, with
the exception of American Beauties,
clean up each day. Carnations, while
a°little more plentiful than they were,
still are short of requirements. Easter
lilies continue plentiful and _ good.
Daffodils, Roman hyacinths and freesia
have been added to the list of bulb-
ous stock. The cut of narcissi is about
equal to the demand. Valley, violets
and orchids are fairly plentiful. They
had a good demand for New Year’s.

Other offerings include poinsettias,
eallas, stevia and sweet peas.

The Market.

The year of 1915 passed out as a
record-breaker for the amount of busi-
ness done. Large preparations are be-
ing made for 1916; several florists have
bought larger cars for deliveries and
several have planned to buy new cars
in the spring. It is reported that many
large additions to greenhouses will
start in the spring.

Market conditions have been espe-
cially favorable to the growers during
the holidays. A good crop of flowers
was cut and all sold at a hear price.
Red carnations and roses were the lead-
ers throughout the week, being some-
what short of the demand. White
and pink roses and carnations were all '
cleaned up at good prices. Aaron Ward
roses were the leaders in the yellow
class. More orchids were sold during
the holidays than have ever been sold
before. Violets had a heavy demand
Bulbous
stock of all kinds was scarce for the
first time in several years. Miscella-
neous stock cleaned up at fair prices.

Various Notes.

A. F. Barbe is contemplating the
erection of large greenhouses south of
the old range. The new houses will be
devoted to roses. He plans to build
the full depth of the property and each
irty-four .feet.. wide.

cleaned up. Out-of-town trade was
heavy.

Arthur Newell had he best New
Year’s business he ever had. Pot plants
sold well and the corsage :-work was
the heaviest he ever experienced.

Mrs. Juvenal, who was painfully in-
jured by the fire which started in her
display window December 17, is get-
ting along nicely.

Patrick Larkin had such a run on cor-
sage work that it seemed for a while
oe he was making a specialty of that
ine.

The W. L. Rock Flower Co. reports
the best New Year’s business it ever
had, with plenty of work of all kinds.
This concern will go in more heavily for
pot plants next year. W. J.B.

ST. LOUIS.

The Market.

Now that the holiday rush is over
and things are back to their normal, I
can say that florists in all parts of
the city are unanimous in reporting
that there was a decided increase of
business over that of any of the for-
mer years. All are especially pleased
with the New Year’s business, in which
cut flowers had the call.

The wholesale market was well sup-
plied last week with a good quality
of stock in most lines. There was quite
a shortage in carnations and Christ-
mas prices were demanded, but- the
growers say that there will be a great
crop coming on shortly and that by
the end of the month a decided drop
in prices will be experienced.

Roses have been in good supply and
all varieties coming in have been of
fine quality. With bright weather,
roses will show a drop in price. Kil:
larney is the bulk of the supply so
far this season. The crop of sweet
peas has been short of late and many
of the growers complain of the buds
dropping off, which will make the
shortage more noticeable later on.
Violets, too, are not nearly so plentiful

as at this season in former years. A
fine crop of Paper Whites is coming
in. The best command 4 cents.
Romans seem to have dropped out of
the market this year. There is a good
supply of Easter lilies, also extra fine
valley. Smilax, asparagus and ferns
have the call among the greens.

Various Notes.

Prof. H. C. Irish, vice-president of
the Missouri State Horticultural So-
ciety, states that an invitation is ex-
tended to all florists to attend the an-
nual meeting of the society at the
Planters’ hotel, January 12 to 14, es-
pecially January 13, which will be Flo-
rists’ day, when papers of special in-
terest to florists will be read by sev-
eral prominent florists of the city.

The E. G. Hill Co., of Richmond,
Ind., marketed a quantity of long,
fancy Hoosier Beauty here for Christ-
mas and New Year’s through H. G.
Berning.

Charles Fullgraf, the well known
landscape gardener, surprised his many
friends by his marriage with Miss
Laura Goode. The wedding took place
at Vandalia, Ill., recently. Mr. and
Mrs. Fullgraf are south on a honey-
moon.

I have found out why Paddy Patton,
of the W. C. Smith Wholesale Floral
Co., wore ear muffs all through the
holiday rush. He couldn’t hear the
kicks on the high prices of stock and
said that in this way he saved a great
deal of time.

Martin B. Lechner, of Lechner Bros.,
Webster Groves, has returned from a
successful southern trip and reports
prosperity among the southern florists.
Mr. Lechner announces that his firm

The Lady Florists’ Home Circle will
be entertained at its first meeting of
the new year by Mrs. Fred C. Weber,
Sr., at her home at 6238 Berlin avenue,
at which a full attendance is expected.

The St. Louis Florists’ Club will hold
its first meeting of the year January
13, in Odd Fellows’ hall. A large at-
tendance is expected because of the
importance of this meeting, which will
open promptly at 2 o’clock, so as to
give the suburban members time to get
an early start for home.

David Geddis, of | Vandervoort’s
floral department, says the Christmas
and New Year business was far be-
yond his expectations. The sale of au-
tomobile wreaths ran into the thou-
sands, while plants and cut stock
cleaned out early.

Charles Young, of C. Young & Sons
Co., reports a few good-sized decora-
tions for receptions and dinners right
after New Year’s. The combined holi-
day business was the best in years.
The large quantity of stock carried
was cleaned out.

The florists along Grand avenue ex-
press great satisfaction over the New
Year’s business and say it seems that
old times are coming back, when this
day’s business was equal to that of
Christmas. They are looking forward

‘to a good, steady run of business from

now until Lent.

With much regret I announce the
retirement of Mrs. M. M. Ayres from
the florists’ business. A year ago Mrs.
Ayres sold her interest in the Ayres
Floral Co., and her agreement to stay
with the purchasers one year ended De-
cember 31. For fifteen years she was
head of the M. M. Ayres Floral Co.,
and for ten years previous to this she
was manager for Luther Armstrong;
in all, thirty-five years in the florists’
business. She was the only lady mem-

ber of the Florists’ Club and resigned
a few months ago. Her resignation
was accepted and the members voted
her an honorary life membership. Mrs.
Ayres has the good wishes of all in
the trade, with whom she was on most
friendly terms.

The executive committee for the
American Carnation Society conven-
tion, of which J. F. Ammann is chair-
man, held a meeting at the Smith
Wholesale Floral Co. place, December
30. The nine members of this commit-
tee were present and a report from
each showed good work by all sub-
committees, and if the twenty-fifth an-
nual meeting of the American Carna-
tion Society, to be held January 26 and
27, is not a success, it will not be the
committee’s fault.

A Few New Year’s Resolutions.

Jules Bourdet: ‘‘Let us all pull to-
gether to the end that 1916 may be
the greatest in the history of the Flo-
rists’ Club.’’

W. C. Smith: ‘‘There is no such
thing as a New Year. The good reso-
lutions a fellow makes all the time
should, like the lady who faints, be
carried out.’’

J. J. Beneke: ‘‘While I expect to
live along in the even tenor of my

way, this year’s efforts of the Florists’
Club will’ be carried out as in the
past.’’

Frank Fillmore: ‘‘That I resolve
not to miss a Florists’ Club meeting
in 1916 and that I hope all members
will follow my example.’’ J.J. B.

The Market.

Since Christmas we have had much
dark weather, accompanied by rain or
snow, and, as a consequence, flowers
have opened slowly. The almost com-
plete clean-up at the holidays left the
markets all but denuded of flowers and
high prices still exist for almost every-
thing. Not for years has there been such
a scarcity of flowers. It has not been
necessary for growers to solicit. orders

at the stores; on the contrary, a num-
ber of buyers have been eagerly await-
ing the arrival of boxes at the whole-
sale markets. How much longer these
conditions will continue depends al-
most wholly on the weather. <A few
clear days with mild temperatures will
start a general drop.

Roses continue to clean up with re-
markable speed. On some days $6 per
hundred has been easily obtained for
short stems and as high as $12 per
hundred for flowers on 12-inch stems.
Prices have receded a little this week,
but still are satisfactory to the grow-
ers. Carnations last week sold as high
as $8 and $10 per hundred, with ordi-
nary grades at $5 and $6. With all
growers there has been a light pick
since the holidays. Violets sell at
$1.25 to $1.50 per hundred and are not
equal to the demand. Valley sells well.
Sweet peas might sell better. Yellow
marguerites sell at better than Christ-
mas prices—$4 to $5 per hundred for
the best.

Easter lilies are in good supply and
little changed in price. The same holds
good of L. speciosum and callas. Some
Henry Irving and Trumpet major nar-
cissi sell well. There are some tulips,
but not as yet of good quality. Paper
Whites sell at fancy prices. Growers
are glad to get fancy prices, but state
that only about sixty per cent of t
bulbs are flowering this season. Yel-
low marguerites have been making as
much as $4 and $5 per hundred for the
best. Snapdragons are selling well.
Good spikes have made as much as $2
and $3 per dozen. Cattleya Triane is
more abundant. Prices vary from $6
to $7.50 per dozen. Gardenias are not
abundant. Of cypripediums there is
now an adequate supply. The demand
for asparagus remains about the same.

Various Notes.

William H. Ward, of Montvale, is
bringing in some fine long-stemmed
Spencer sweet peas, forget-me-nots,
freesias and carnations.

Business at Penn’s two stores con-
tinues active. The tastefully decorated
windows at the Tremont street store,
by John Wilson, receive much favor-
able comment.

Peter Fisher had a splendid Christ-’

mas trade and a fine crop of carna-
tions. Alice, which he grows in large
quantity, proves wonderfully free and
a much better producer than Pink De-
light. Mr. Fisher finds Matchless a

HENRY R. COMLEY, Florist, 6 Park St.
60 years’ experience in the florist business guarantees
eliclvecy to take care of all orders. 20 per cent allowed

slow winter variety compared with
White Wonder and White Enchantress.
He says there will be no splitting of
the latter when the plants are in solid
beds.

The Boston representation at the St.
(Louis carnation convention will leave
South station, Boston, January 24, at
2 p. m., on the Wolverine express, due
in St. Louis the following day at 9:55
p.m. The fare is $28.50; party of ten
or more, $26.35 each; lower berths, $6.50 ;
upper berths, $5.20; drawing room, $23.
Flowers can be carried on the train, as
the Boston party will reserve the draw-
ing room. Anyone planning to make
the trip should notify S. J. Goddard,
of Framingham, as soon as possible, so
that necessary reservations may be
made. The route selected is the best
from Boston, being the following rail-
roads: Boston and Albany, New York
Central, Big Four, and Buffalo, Cleve-
land & Indiana. Boston will make a
good showing at the meeting and will
have some fine exhibits.

R. E. Wadsworth & Co., of North-
boro, are having excellent success with
Carnation Pink Sensation. Good Cheer
also is well liked. Other favorites are
Matchless, Pink Delight, Alice, Beacon,
Champion, Benora and Yellow Prince.
They have two fine seedlings, one sim-
ilar to Gorgeous in color, the other an
improvement on Philadelphia. Their
earliest batch of mignonette will soon
be in flower. Of freesias they have a
fine cut.

H. R. Comley, of Park street, states
that he had a fine Christmas business,
especially in plants. The existing high
price of cut flowers he considers detri-
mental to business and uncalled for.

Mr. and Mrs. Ernest Watson, of
Dorchester, left Dorchester January 3
en route for Turkey. They hope to
travel by rail from Berlin to Constan-
tinople. Mrs. Watson is the youngest
daughter of Samuel Neil, the well
known Dorchester florist, and has al-
ready spent some time in Turkey. Her
husband is a teacher in an American
college near Constantinople.

I am glad all are now somewhat
better.

At Carbone’s the Christmas business
easily broke all records, the demand be-
ing equally good for plants, cut flow-
ers and the wide variety of fancy
ware specialized in by this concern.

William T. Walke, of Salem, is mar-
keting a fine lot of well flowered Purity
freesia in pans. He had a splendid

Christmas trade in begonius, cycla-
mens and poinsettias.
E. H. Wilson, of the Arnold Ar-

Japan,’’ at Horticultural hall, January

with the 8S. A. F., there being a large
lapse among the new members enrolled
here at the time of the 1914 conven-
tion, which reduced the glub’s num-
ber of S. A. F. members below the

100 mark.

William R. Morris, of Wellesley
Hills, is having excellent success with
his roses this season. All are handled
by Irving Stewart. At present his
leaders are Hadley, Richmond, Killar-
ney, White Killarney and Ophelia.

William H. Elliott hit the Christmas
and New Year celebration with a fine
crop of roses. Specially fine now are

Ophelia, Killarney Queen,
Sunburst, the Irish singles,
George Elger and Mlle. Cecile Brunner.

While Boston had a fair business on
New Year’s day, it would have been
better but for a snow storm which pre-
vailed all day. The day is not kept
as a holiday here, as in many other
places.

John Barr, of South Natick, is one
of our most successful local carnation
growers; his establishment is always
kept in perfect condition. He likes
Matchless well as a white. Both Alice
and Pink Delight are grown as flesh

pinks. Beacon and Champion are
equally good. Fenn and Winsor still
prove to be money-makers. Benora

and Mrs. Ward are also grown.

A. BA CAS7 er

McMinnville, Ore—S. H. wares
owner of the Pioneer Greenhouses, re-
ports that December was a busy month
with him. The Christmas trade in
both cut flowers and plants was about
double that of the preceding year.
There was more funeral work last
month than common, he said. This has
kept flowers well cleaned up. Carna-
tions have been in full crop and have
been of good quality, but they are be-
ginning to split. Paper Whites,
Romans and callas are plentiful. Vio-
lets are scarce. Sweet peas were a
failure. Up to Christmas day there
had been two months of dark weather,
with a great deal of rain, but warm.

THE MONTEBELLO ROSARIAN,

The portrait reproduced herewith is
an excellent one of H. W. Turner, the
well known rose grower of Montebello,
Cal. Mr. Turner is one of the best
known men in the trade, east and west,
but it is in California that he is best
known and universally liked. Coming
to California some years ago on account
of his health, he has not only regained
that but also has founded what is prob-
ably the most up-to-date rose growing
range in the west. Roses constitute his
long suit. He grows roses better, knows
them better and, I believe, loves them
more than any other man I have met.

It is said that when seriously ill
some years ago and almost unconscious,
some one asked Mr. Turner’s doctor to
mention a new rose, and this had the
immediate effect of bringing Mr. Turner
back to life. He obtained his outdoor
raiments, climbed aboard his car and
was on his way with his check book to
the owner of the novelty before the
medico could mention the amount of
his bill. Mr. Turner denies this, but
the facts as stated are true.

The Montebello establishment has
been too often described to need any-
thing but a passing reference. The
range consists of five houses, 60x300
feet, and four new ones, 60x150 feet.
Every inch of the range is given to
roses. There is not a novelty of Amer-
ican or European origin that Mr.
Turner does not try out, if it is obtain-
able. He may not retain the new rose,
but it is given a trial, and unless it
proves worthy it is thrown out, no mat-
ter what the cost. The number of va-
rieties grown is over 300, while the
quantities of some of the most popular
varieties that are grown and shipped
are enormous, often running into six
figures. The last few years Mr. Turner
has been making a specialty of baby
roses and ramblers, both for cutting and
selling as plants, and he has probably
one of the most complete collections in
the country today.

If I were asked to mention the one
thing most responsible for Mr. Turner’s
success, I should say that it was a
stick-to-it-iveness that never dies.
Work is life to him and when it is said
that he designs and constructs his own
houses, sets his own boilers and steam
apparatus and superintends personally
every detail of his big business, his ca-
pacity for work will be better under-
stood. A big man who, in the face of

The Market.

Heinz methods were resorted to for
the first time to any extent for the
Christmas market, and our oriental
friends, who are such good imitators,
were the principal operators along this
line. But it did them little good; in-
dividually and collectively the whole
trade suffered. This market is rapidly

gaining an enviable reputation for
sending out fresh stock properly
packed, and any tricks of this kind will
only set back the wheels of progress.
The .sooner this truth is thoroughly di-
gested the better. There are no better
flowers grown anywhere than those
grown in Los Angeles county, and as
long as good business methods prevail
the demand for them will keep on in-
creasing, to the benefit of the trade

-generally.

Among the scarce items have been
red carnations, the lighter colors and
white being plentiful. Roses are in
good demand, with ample stock to fill
all orders. Beauties of good quality
still are scarce. Valley is uncertain,
both as to quality and quantity. Cecile
Brunner roses are now plentiful and
they, as well as violets, are selling
freely. Orchids are more plentiful
since Triane and Percivaliana came in.
Large Boston and Piersoni ferns are
selling well and flowering plants meet
with a fair demand. A large quantity
of the cheaper grades of flowers were
needed last week for the Pasadena
tournament of roses.

Various Notes.

J. Dieterich, since the dissolution of
his partnership with George Smith, has
not been actively engaged on either
Wall street or Seventh street, and this
leaves him free to give more attention
to the Montebello nursery. He has
splendid stock of all kinds, notably
kentias, Cocos plumosa and other palms,
of which he is shipping large quanti-
ties.

made at the store of the California Cut

and later in business at the Washington

is of exceptionally good quality. Dur-
ing the Christmas rush the whole store
force worked for two days and nights
straight.

Walter Garbett, for several years
manager for Darling’s Flower Shop, re-
signed his position at New Year’s to
go into partnership with J. Rolleri,
proprietor of the California Cut Flower
& Evergreen Co. Mr. Garbett has the
best wishes of all for success in his
new venture.

George Watson may now be seen go-
ing the rounds in a new automobile.
The new range is a little farther away
from his home than the old one, and
these welterweights do not like long
walks. The stock is looking fine in
the new greenhouses.

H. W. Turner will probably not be
satisfied until all his ground is covered
with glass. As fast as the new houses
are built they are filled and it becomes
a question of doing less business or
building more houses. Who can guess
the answer? .

From occasional shipments of a few
flowers each, the output of orchids by
the L. A. Floral Co. has kept on in-
creasing until now the entire cut of
at least one grower is taken. Ship-
ments keep up well here.

The demand for azaleas at the Ger-
main Seed & Plant Co. has kept up
well since Christmas. At the time of
the holiday, Mme. Petrick was the prin-
cipal variety in flower, but Verveneana,
with its larger, lighter-colored flowers,
sold better at New Year’s.

The Christmas Business.

Not for a number of years has Seat-
tle’s Christmas business been so good
as that of 1915. All the stores reported
phenomenal sales and few of them had
any stock left over. Many of the stores
could have sold more if they had had
the stock. Prices were slightly ad-
vanced along most lines, and if there
was possibly a smaller amount of stock
than usual at Christmas the enhanced
values compensated for the fewer sales.

to be desired and sales were good. Car-
nations were scarce and in strong de-
mand; higher prices prevailed accord-
ingly. These was a fair supply of roses,
but they were quickly cleaned out. Bulb-
ous stock was principally represented by
Paper Whites and a few Romans. Val-
ley was scarce and violets much as
usual, There was a fine showing of
begonias in nearly all the stores and
the sales for them showed marked im-
provement over those of recent years.
Cyclamen sold well, but there was not
enough of it. Made-up baskets were
quickly disposed of. Business since
Christmas has been excellent, but there
is a shortage in most lines of stock.

Various Notes.
Mrs. L. H. McCoy, at her store on

Second avenue, did a large business for

Christmas. That the move from Third
avenue was a good one is daily becom-
ing more obvious.

The Hollywood Gardens had the big-
gest Christmas business in their history.
Even with additional warehouse stor-
age for their plants, they had barely
enough stock to fill all the orders.

Rosaia Bros. did, as usual, their share
of the business. The artistic arrange-
ments of their large display windows
were a great attraction.

Felix Rosaia, of the Orpheum Floral
€o., had his hands full looking after
the numerous assistants required to
handle thé business at his store,

The outlying stores and greenhouses
did good business and the growers got
good prices for anything worth han-
dling. ZT. Wi

SAN FRANCISCO.

The Market.

The San Francisco florists are clos-
ing what undoubtedly has been the
best year of their experience. While
most flowers have been plentiful prac-
tically all of the year, the average
prices have been remunerative and the
quantity of stock sold in all depart-
ments has been enormous. With the
exposition over, the outlook for the
new year is uncertain and the next
two months no doubt will bring some
contraction of business. The San Fran-
cisco district is in every way more
prosperous than it was a year ago, and
the florists may expect to share in the
good times that are predicted.

Growers are congratulating them-
selves that last week’s weather came
after, not before, Christmas, as the
week opened with a heavy rain, which
was followed by freezing temperatures.
This immediately shortened the cut of
mums, which practically went out with
the old year; carnations also were af-
fected and few will be offered for some
time, as many of the houses had no
heat. Violets also have been nipped,
but there still will be plenty of them,
unless colder weather follows. Outdoor
bulbous stock, which was showing up
in considerable quantity, has been
sharply checked. For several days
there was a fine cut of freesias and
they no doubt will be back soon. The
general shortage has greatly stimulated
the demand for roses, which are in good
supply and attractive quality. The
prices on roses are rather high, which
will make up for the extra coal bills.
There are plenty of Beauties; Ward,
Sunburst and Hadley are fine and Cecile
Brunner is in much better supply. A

Harry Short, of Napa, visited the
market a few days ago. He reports an
extraordinarily good Christmas busi-
ness.

Jack Olson, of the New Roserie,
Sacramento and Devisadero streets,
had the room adjoining his store filled
with plants for the holidays, and re-
ports a complete clean-up, doubling the
volume of business of Christmas, 1914.
He reports a heavy sale of cyclamen,
with less attention given to poinsettias,
and found large Boston ferns popular.
_ The Western Orchid Co., of Alameda,
cleaned up a good-sized cut for Christ-
mas, but still is bringing in good cat-
tleyas.

Arthur Cann, of San Jose, has had a
busy month, starting with a rush sev-
eral weeks before the holidays.

The big cut of Cecile Brunner roses
expected by the E. W. McLellan Co.
is turning out in fine shape, and there
seems to be a ready market for all the
roses brought in by this company.

M. J. Peterson, of the Haight Street
Floral Co., reports an unusually heavy
run on plants and cut flowers at his
establishment for the last month, at-
tributing the successful season largely
to the pleasant weather.

Cleis & Jacobsen are well satisfied
with their holiday business and, while
business has been quiet since, they an-
ticipate a good year.’

Mark Ebel, of Sacramento, visited
the wholesale houses just before New
Year’s. He reports a rushing business
in flowering plants and is especially
pleased with the movement of begonias,
which he found to be one of the most
popular items.

The Francis Floral Co. has had much
decorative work lately, the largest be-
ing the Palace hotel Christmas decora-
tion. Several thousand yards of gar-
lands of wild cherry and red berries
were used. For New Year’s eve, this
concern decorated the tables in a large
eafé, using many . different color
schemes. A novelty tried by this com-
pany with much success for Christmas
was a line of rustic fern baskets, the
handles of which were ornamented with
clusters of the green fruit of date
palms. The baskets contained pots with
large Boston ferns and small adiantum
and asparagus-plants.

It was better than that of last year by
a noticeable margin. Stormy weather

and the buyers came out in bunches,
causing a big rush. The business an-
ticipated by the growers was unusually
close to the actual sales and every-
thing ready was in the hands of the
retailers.

There was a shortage in all sorts of
cut flowers, especially carnations. The
newly imported azaleas did not arrive
early enough to bring them into flower,
but there were some carried-over plants
offered, which sold readily at $4 and

The Florists’ Review

JANUARY 6, 1916.

to be desired and sales were good. Car-
nations were scarce and in strong de-
mand; higher prices prevailed accord-
ingly. These was a fair supply of roses,
but they were quickly cleaned out. Bulb-
ous stock was principally represented by
Paper Whites and a few Romans. Val-
ley was scarce and violets much as
usual. There was a fine showing of
begonias in nearly all the stores and
the sales for them showed marked im-
provement over those of recent years.
Cyclamen sold well, but there was not
enough of it. Made-up baskets were
quickly disposed of. Business since
Christmas has been excellent, but there
is a shortage in most lines of stock.

Various Notes.
Mrs. L. H. McCoy, at her store on

Second avenue, did a large business for '

Christmas. That the move from Third
avenue was a good one is daily becom-
ing more obvious.

The Hollywood Gardens had the big-
gest Christmas business in their history.
Even with additional warehouse stor-
age for their plants, they had barely
enough stock to fill all the orders.

Rosaia Bros. did, as usual, their share
of the business. The artistic arrange-
ments of their large display windows
were a great attraction.

Felix Rosaia, of the Orpheum Floral
Co., had his hands full looking after
the numerous assistants required to
handle thé business at his store,

The outlying stores and greenhouses
did good business and the growers got
good prices for anything worth han-
dling. T. Wi

SAN FRANCISCO.

The Market.

The San Francisco florists are clos-
ing what undoubtedly has been the
best year of their experience. While
most flowers have been plentiful prac-
tically all of the year, the average
prices have been remunerative and the
quantity of stock sold in all depart-
ments has been enormous. With the
exposition over, the outlook for the
new year is uncertain and the next
two months no doubt will bring some
contraction of business. The San Fran-
cisco district is in every way more
prosperous than it was a year ago, and
the florists may expect to share in the
good times that are predicted.

Growers are congratulating them-
selves that last week’s weather came
after, not before, Christm4is, as the
week opened with a heavy rain, which
was followed by freezing temperatures.
This immediately shortened the cut of
mums, which practically went out with
the old year; carnations also were af-
fected and few will be offered for some
time, as many of the houses had no
heat. Violets also have been nipped,
but there still will be plenty of them,
unless colder weather follows. Outdoor
bulbous stock, which was showing up
in considerable quantity, has been
sharply checked. For several days
there was a fine cut of freesias and
they no doubt will be back soon. The
general shortage has greatly stimulated
the demand for roses, which are in good
supply and attractive quality. The
prices on roses are rather high, which
will make up for the extra coal bills.
There are plenty of Beauties; Ward,
Sunburst and Hadley are fine and Cecile
Brunner is in much better supply. A
few marigolds, mignonettes, forget-me-

popular and small heather plants find
a good sale.

Various Notes.

Harry Short, of Napa, visited the
market a few days ago. He reports an
extraordinarily good Christmas busi-
ness.

Jack Olson, of the New Roserie,
Sacramento and Devisadero streets,
had the room adjoining his store filled
with plants for the holidays, and re-
ports a complete clean-up, doubling the
volume of business of Christmas, 1914.
He reports a heavy sale of cyclamen,
with less attention given to poinsettias,
and found large Boston ferns popular.
_ The Western Orchid Co., of Alameda,
cleaned up a good-sized cut for Christ-
mas, but still is bringing in good cat-
tleyas.

Arthur Cann, of San Jose, has had a
busy month, starting with a rush sev-
eral weeks before the holidays.

The big cut of Cecile Brunner roses
expected by the E. W. McLellan Co.
is turning out in fine shape, and there
seems to be a ready market for all the
roses brought in by this company.

M. J. Peterson, of the Haight Street
Floral Co., reports an unusually heavy
run en plants and cut flowers at his
establishment for the last month, at-
tributing the successful season largely
to the pleasant .weather.

Cleis & Jacobsen are well satisfied
with their holiday business and, while
business has been quiet since, they an-
ticipate a good year.’

Mark Ebel, of Sacramento, visited
the wholesale houses just before New
Year’s. He reports a rushing business
in flowering plants and is especially
pleased with the movement of begonias,
which he found to be one of the most
popular items. |
. The Francis Floral Co. has had much
decorative work lately, the largest be-
ing the Palace hotel Christmas decora-
tion. Several thousand yards of gar-
lands of wild cherry and red berries
were used. For New Year’s eve, this
concern decorated the tables in a large
eafé, using many different color
schemes. A novelty tried by this com-
pany with much success for Christmas
was a line of rustic fern baskets, the
handles of which were ornamented with
clusters of the green fruit of date
palms. The baskets contained pots with
large Boston ferns and small adiantum
and asparagus plants.

J. I. Jewell and Guy Grosse have
taken the agency for the Fancher
Creek and Kirkman nurseries, at Santa
Rosa. S. H. G.

PORTLAND, ORE.

The Market.

Everybody seems to be well pleased
with the result of the holiday business.
It was better than that of last year by
a noticeable margin. Stormy weather
prevailed Christmas week until Decem-
ber 24, when the clouds cleared away
and the buyers came out in bunches,
causing a big rush. The business an-
ticipated by the growers was unusually
close to the actual sales and every-
thing ready was in the hands of the
retailers.

There was a shortage in all sorts of
cut flowers, especially carnations. The
newly imported azaleas did not arrive
early enough to bring them into flower,
but there were some carried-over plants
offered, which sold readily at $4 and

The Florists’ Review

JANUARY 6, 1916.

higher. Few potted plants are left in
the retailers’ hands, and those that
remain are mostly culls of various
sorts and a few large begonias of the
Lorraine type. Plants and combina-
tions which sold from $3 down found
the rgadiest sale, and from the ex-
perience at Thanksgiving the retailers
avoided arranging many expensive
specimens. A brisk demand for funeral
work, with a shortage of flowers and,
of course, poinsettias out of the ques-
tion, increased the retailers’ troubles.
Probably it is well within the limits of
truth to say that more money was spent
with the florists than ever before dur-
ing the holidays.

Last week a cold snap struck Port-
land, the minimum température to the
time of writing being 20 degrees. This
has killed the remaining geraniums and
other bedding stock, which had been
left in place in hope of a mild season.

No great rush for New Year’s was
looked for, but a good run of business
continued the entire week and a large
volume of stock was sold. Shippers
had good orders from outside points
and were able to fill the greater part
of them. Several stores opened
branches as usual, some of which were
used for delivery purposes only.

Various Notes.

Otto Reuble, of the German Floral
Co., spent the holidays with relatives
living near Seattle, Wash.

J. A. Wilson, of the Wilson-Crout
Co., is happy over the arrival of a
brand new member in his family.

Mrs. Rachel Lewis, mother of H. A.
Lewis, of the Russellville Nursery, died
December 28. She came to Oregon in
1872 and had lived in the home in
which she died for forty-two years.

The continued absence of C. R.
Langstaff, managing owner of Henry
Clemens, Florist, a corporation, which
recently opened a store at 148 Fourth
street, has alarmed a number of credi-
tors, who are anxiously awaiting his re-
turn. An attachment suit was filed De-
cember 27 by two of the largest credi-
tors and the store probably will be
closed out.

W. L. Crissey was married December
27 to Mrs. M. B. McCullough, who at
one time held a position in the Cham-
ber of Commerce promotion bureau, of
which Mr. Crissey was chief correspond-
ent. They will make their home at
the gladiolus ranch which Mr. Crissey
operates near Bullrun. S. W. W.

NURSERY STOCK IMPORTS.

THERE is some surplus of flower seeds
of 1915 crop among the California grow-
ers.

CONSIDERABLE quantities of German
valley pips are said to be reaching New
York via Rotterdam.

A FIRE of unknown origin destroyed the
offices and warehouse of the Gate City
Seed Co., of Keokuk, Ia., causing a loss
estimated at $26,000.

DETAILS relative to the case of Luther
Burbank versus the Burbank Co., of San
Francisco, are given under the head of
Business Embarrassments.

Miss JENNIE Cox, of Delaware, O., has
sold the J. C. Cox Seed Store to J. H.
Cunningham, who will continue the busi-
ness in connection with his flower store.

THE Kirby Seed Co., of Gaffney, 8S. C.,
has been incorporated with a capital of
$10,000. The petitioners were A. B.
Kirby, D. C. Ross and Maynard Smyth.

THE Dutch bulb salesmen are not so
numerous this season as last, but they
wear smiling faces, for business is better
than for a long time. Last year’s con-
servatism is forgotten by the buyers.

AT Chicago A. Henderson & Co., who
heretofore have sold only to the trade,
start the new year at 211 North State
street, a location which will permit them
to enter the retail seed and plant field.

Louis L. DE VILMORIN, senior midship-
man of the French navy, has just been
appointed chevalier of the Legion of
Honor. Mons. L. L. de Vilmorin is the
third of the five Vilmorin brothers now at
the front.

In spite of the recent post-office an-
nouncement of the discontinuance of the
parcel post service to and from Germany
via Holland, German seeds are regularly
reaching American seed houses through
the mails. The parcels bear Dutch
stamps, indicating that they are remailed
in Holland.

A New YEar’s dinner was given De-
cember 28 at the Minneapolis Athletic
Club by Northrup, King & Co. to the
sales force and to the heads of depart-
ments. Cash prizes were awarded in a
contest that has been conducted among
the salesmen the last six months. The
first prize was won by Harold O’Brien,
second by E. F. Wright and third by W.
C. Bracken. Twenty-six persons were
present. C. C. Massie was toastmaster.
The menu card was a humorous affair,
bringing into play the names of many of
those present.

THE board of the Dutch Bulb Export-
ers’ Association, with headquarters in
Haarlem, informs The Review that it has
been resolved, subject to penalty, to in-
voice in the future in the wholesale trade
charges for cases and packing at the cost
price, so that it is no longer allowed to
sell ‘‘packing free.’’ ‘‘As this was al-
ready a general method of business, to
which sometimes exceptions were made,
owing to which ungrounded differences in
price occurred, this resolution no doubt
will contribute to increase fair trade,’’
says the board.

D. W. THAYER, J. W. Cuykendall and

porated the Nishna Valley Seed Co., at a
capitalization of $10,000.

THE Holland bulb growers assert that
in no case can the crop of hyacinths in
1916 be so large as that of recent years,
the plantings having been considerably
reduced.

Mrs. M. W. JOHANSEN, secretary of the
Victor Johansen Seed Co., Los Angeles,
who is on her second annual contracting
trip of three months, spent New Year’s at
Rockford, Ill.

WHILE important quantities of Sean-
dinavian seeds already have arrived, it is

flower, cabbage, brussels sprouts, carrots
nor parsley is as large there as usual this
season.

WOMAN VERSUS MYSTERY

@ Yes, it is a long time since I had time
to think of our friend Fattie, his gay dis-
position, and all the good times I have
to miss, because I prefer the hard bumps
of business knocks to the frivolous pas-
times extended by our good-natured ‘‘man
of the moment.’”’

@ Have I been worried for the past few
months? Well, it goes without saying, I
had my share of the war troubles. There
is always war in business anyway.

@ Now for a little confidential chat. Let
me tell you if the frivolous pastimes
offered by such good scouts as our friend
Fattie would appeal strongly to a business
girl. Well, she would think it over, then
think again, and DECIDE her course of
pursuit, because the opportunity to follow
the gay, glimmering and sparkling lights
comes so strongly and so often that she
must decide just what she intends to do,
and make her own pace. I advise girls
strongly that the craze of Career Mad-
ness is far from being all fun, when
you are building up a career, a business or
ahome. It is WORK, and the joy comes
as we see ourselves making progress.
We must make sacrifice, yes, even tears
and heartaches, to be a success, either as
a stage woman, business woman or a good
wife and mother. I have talked long and
deep with good women, as they are the
models I try to follow, and we all agree it
takes all the good that is in us to meet the
exacting demands we put on ourselves.

The Florists’ Review

JANUARY 6, 1916,

In the old days in New York it was
thought that the only location for a seed
store was on a street west of Broadway
leading to a ferry. But the tubes have
changed all that. As leases expire a num-
ber of shifts into new thoroughfares are
likely to take place.

BRITAIN BARS VALLEY!

It is reported that the British gov-
ernment has placed a prohibition upon
the importation of lily of the valley
pips. This in effect covers all pips,
whether Dutch, Danish or German.
Everything in the nature of valley is
suspected and is held up. Importers
have only succeeded in getting ship-
ments released after persistent writ-
ing and visits to the Home Office. Many
English consignees are said to have
abandoned their consignments because
of the difficulties in their way, the
Duteh and Danish senders naturally
having to stand the loss. Even valley
clumps, a class of goods recognized as
Dutch, have been held up about three
weeks and only released after repeated
appeals to the Home Office. The latter
has made it plain that it does not de-
sire any one to import valley from Hol-
land, as the customs have been given
to understand that all valley is more
or less German. At the present time
a big shipment of valley taken from
cold storage at Amsterdam is in cold
storage in London awaiting decision.

DUTCH BULBS.

On the steamer Rotterdam, from Hol-
land, which reached New York Decem-
ber 24, were the following consign-
ments of bulbs, as given in the mani-
fest at the New York customhouse:

Seouting in Iowa the other day, a

ately.

WAS THE SEED MERCHANTABLE?

The right of a grower to recover
damages for claimed breach of contract
by a seed house to buy seeds grown by
him was the subject of the case of
Gainey vs. Mauldin, 83 Southeastern
Reporter 276, which came before the
Georgia Court of Appeals for consider-
ation. Flaintiffs contracted with de-
fendants, Mauldin Bros., to plant ten
acres in collards for seed, and to sell
the seed obtained from the crop to
defendants at 20 cents per pound ‘‘f. o.
b. nearest railroad station.’’ Defend-
ants were to furnish sacks to hold the
seed, and the growers agreed to see that
the seed was ‘‘ well cleaned and in mer-
chantable condition.’’ Claiming that
they tendered 6,650 pounds of seed in
good merchantable condition to defend-
ants in conformity to the contract, that
defendants refused to receive the same,
or pay the agreed price, and that plain-
tiffs were compelled to sell the seed
at 8 cents per pound elsewhere, involv-
ing a loss of $798, they brought suit.
The trial jury awarded plaintiffs a ver-
dict, but upon defendants’ appeal to

TESTIMONIALS

We get many letters from
customers pertaining to the
excellent quality of our lily
bulbs. As a rule we do not
use them, as they savor so
much of cure-all medicine ad-
vertisements, but some are so
good that they deserve pub-
licity. Here is one dated Dec.
2, 1915 (name upon applica-
tion):

“On or about Sept. 15th ‘Blank’s’
salesman visited us. He offered
Gigs at $17.00 a case. We received
one from you Sept. 1st and had
another coming Oct. lst. Well, we
told him if he could ship at once
we would try a case, as we had room
in sight. Well, they came. We
don’t want to tell you that yours are
worth twice as much, but we will
say that we would rather have them
than the others for half of what
yours cost. The Sept. lst case is a
peach and Oct. Ist is apparently of
the same quality. The Sept. 1st case
is just beginning to flower and the
Lilium Magnificum sent us are
blooming now and coming along fine.
We grew them in pots. Yours truly.”

This is just one incident
where a responsible grower
has carefully noted compara-
tive results. It came unsolic-
ited in any way and as an ap-
preciation of good bulbs. No
matter what may be said of
lily bulbs, there are none bet-
ter than Horseshoe Brand
Giganteum, and most grow-
ers think there are none as
good. Just try them—prices
as follows:

GIGANTEUM
7/9 $18.00 per case of 300 bulbs

8/10 20.00 per casé of 250 bulbs
9/10 20.00 per case of 200 bulbs

The Florists’ Review

JANUARY 6, 1916. ~

‘*Plaintiffs were not entitled to recover
damages based upon a breach of the
contract by the defendants until they
had shown that their cross-obligations
under the contract had been complied
with. Properly construed, the words
‘well cleaned,’ in the contract, would
seem to have to be qualified by the
word ‘merchantable,’ used in the same
connection, and it devolved upon the
plaintiffs to show that the seed was so
cleaned as to be merchantable in ac-
cordance with the usages of the trade
in selling seed. There was evidence
that Cairo was a seed market, and that
generally seed cleaned and delivered
by farmers was necessarily recleaned
in preparing it for the wholesale trade.
What txe parties meant by the words
«well éleaned’ may be demonstrated by
evidence outside the contract. After
aH, the question as to whether the seed
was well cleaned and in merchantable
condition is a question of fact for a
jury, in the light of the evidence sub-

mitted. ’’ Ss.
BUYER’S RIGHT TO INSPECT.

When a contract to sell goods re-
quires them to be of a certain grade,
and contains no provision concerning
inspection or time for payment of the
price, the buyer is entitled to an oppor-
tunity to make an inspection, to deter-
mine whether the goods come up to the
contract, before paying for them. Ac-
cordingly, the California District Court
of Appeal has held in the case of M. A.
Newmark & Co. vs. Smith, 146 Pacific
Reporter 1064, that where a contract
was made by defendant for delivery
of a large quantity of ‘‘choice, re-
cleaned, small white beans,’’ and the
agreement was silent concerning the
right of inspection and time of pay-
ment, defendant had no right to draw
on plaintiff, the buyer, for the price
with attached bill of lading in which
the goods were consigned to the seller’s
order, and that plaintiff properly re-
fused to make payment before being
given an opportunity to inspect the
shipment. s.

Not freaks— or even quite what you will call novel-
ties—but good sensible productions such as will find a
hearty welcome in garden and greenhouse for years to

come,

In Cyclamens we have one that is really quite a marvel.

If you haven’t posted yourself on our all-the-year-
round Stocks, then there’s an eye-opener for you.

And when it comes to Asters, we sincerely believe that
you will find a list in our catalogue that will surprise you,
not alone in numbers, but in unusualness.

We received from America last year many enthusias-

tic letters about our Asters.

So great is the cost of our 1916 catalogue of 190 pages
that you can well understand why we are asking you to

send 35c with your request for one.

It will, however, be

promptly refunded with an order for $5.00 or over.

LOCATION OF GRAPE HOUSE.

I am enclosing a sketch of my new
range of even-span houses, which have
just been completed and are modern
‘in every way. As the sketch indicates,
the houses do not run straight east and
west, but slant a little to the south
at the east end. For convenience of
description, however, I will suppose
that they run east and west. There
-are three main houses, .but each house
‘is divided, crosswise, into three sec-
, tions. The east section of the north
house will be used for tomatoes; the
middle section of the same house will
be used for grapes; the west section,
for cucumbers. The sections in the
next house, mentioned in the same
order, from east to west, are for chrys-
anthemums, beans and palms. The
south house will be used for carnations,
roses and pot plants; that is, the carna-
tions will be at the southeast corner of
the range.

You understand, then, that the mid-
dle section of the north house is to be
used as the grape house. I wish to
know whether the proposed location of
the houses will have any effect on the
growing of the grapes in the winter
season. The heating and watering sys-
tems are perfect. J. W. S.—Mich.

I do not quite gather from your
sketch whether or not the houses are
closely connected. If they~- are, the
location of the grape house is not of
the best for winter forcing, if by that
you mean extremely early forcing. The
section intended for roses, in the south
house, would have been much better
for extra early work. If, however,
you do not wish to start your vines be-
fore February 1, the present location
will answer well. It will answer also
for earlier forcing, but will not be quite
so good as if located at the south side
of the range. Cc. W.

FORMALDEHYDE INJURIOUS.

Will you kindly inform me how to
apply formaldehyde to soil infested
with eelworms, in which tomatoes and
cucumbers ure growing? Our benches
are four feet wide by six inches deep.
We though it would be cheaper to treat
the soil with formaldehyde and save
the crop, rather than lose the entire
crop. How much formaldehyde would
be required? How far apart would you
make the holes in the soil, and how
much formaldehyde should be placed in
each hole? I have heard of growers
treating soil with formaldehyde, but as
I have never done so myself, I would

appreciate your instructions.
E. 8.—Idaho.

Formaldehyde cannot be used in
treating infested soil in which plants
are growing. The only satisfactory
way of treating soil infested with eel-
worms in the greenhouse is by steam-
ing the soil before planting. Treating soil
with formaldehyde for eelworms is not
so satisfactory as with steam. There are
no methods known of killing eelworms
in the bench without injuring the
plants. G. L.

Wir Congress and many state legis-
latures in session this winter, the nursery
trade is threatened with another deluge
of bills providing for the regulation of
plant shipments.

THE James Nursery Co., of National
City, Cal., after two years of business,
has been obliged to move to larger quar-
ters. E. James, the proprietor, was at
one time associated with the Kew Gardens,
of London, England.

As a Christmas present to the school
children of Houston, Tex., all the trees
and plants of a nursery at Spring Branch,
ten miles west of Houston, were placed at
their disposal for school uses, by Otto
Burkhardt, the owner, who is retiring
from the business. Mr. Burkhardt, in
explanation of his gift, stated that he
could think of no better method of dispos-
ing of his stock.

PETER F. BOHLANDER, of Bohlander &
Sons, Tippecanoe City, O., has made ar-
rangements for the reservation of space
on the sixth floor of the Delco building,
at Dayton, in which the Dayton Indus-
trial Exposition is held, January 14 to
22. Mr. Bohlander will have an elab-
orate exhibit of trees and plants, be-
lieving that the exposition affords an ex-
<ellent opportunity to advertise his stock.

STATE NURSERY LAWS.

[Tbe following is an extract from an address
by Curtis Nye Smith, association counsel, en-
titled ‘‘The State Nursery Stock Laws and Inter-
state Commerce,’’ delivered at the annual meet-
ing of the Western Association of Nurserymen
in Kansas City, December 9, 1915.]

It is the object of this discussion
to point out in ordinary language the
relationship of state nursery stock laws
to interstate commerce in such mer-
chandise.

While the Congress has control of in-
terstate commerce, there are two ap-
parent and in practice real exceptions
to the general rule. By the federal con-
stitution the states have reserved to
themselves the power to inspect im-
ports or exports. The other power, not
mentioned in the constitution but re-
served to the states, is the police power
of the states to enact reasonable and
appropriate laws to protect the morals,
health, safety and general welfare of
their citizens, and to prevent fraud and
deception.

Under these two powers only can
interstate commerce be affected by
state laws. The United States Supreme
court has recognized these state rights,
but only with certain limitations; such
as, for example, that the state laws
must be reasonable, must not unfairly
discriminate against interstate com-
merce, must not, under the guise of in-

spection laws, be in effect revenue
measures and a direct regulation of in-
terstate commerce.

Inspection Costs.

As a result of the Supreme court de-
cisions it may with some assurance be
stated that the states, with the prob-
able exception of New York state—
which, except in certain particulars,
has by its constitution prohibited in-
spection laws—may enact these nursery
stock laws in order to provide inspec-
tion for the detection and elimination
of injurious plant diseases and pests,
and for the sole purpose’ of paying the
cost of such inspection may charge such
reasonable fees as have a proper and
direct relationship with the costs of
such inspection.

These laws may in direct terms pro-
hibit or restrict the introduction of
nursery stock affected by such diseases
or pests. The practical effect is that
interstate commerce is regulated by
this class of laws just described. On
the other hand, these nursery stock laws
have been very carelessly drawn by
persons unacquainted with the consti-
tutional limitations, or, indeed, with
little knowledge of proper statutory
construction. It is, of course, impossi-
ble in this brief discussion to catalogue
all the faults of the numerous state
nursery stock laws.

present to cite a few examples of state
nursery stock laws which appear to of-
fend constitutional requirements.

A Maine nursery stock law required
agents who wished to sell nursery stock
to take d6ut a license fee of $10, these
fees going into the general treasury of
the state. An agent of a New York
nurseryman, not paying this fee, was
arrested, tried, found guilty, but, on
an appeal, the Supreme court of Maine
reversed the judgment on the ground
that the agent was not selling nursery
stock. The court did not discuss the
constitutional question raised; namely,
that the license fee was a revenue
measure, and so a burden on interstate
commerce. However, this law was
promptly amended to conform to the
criticisms on the constitutional ques-
tion, thereby recognizing the justice of
the nurseryman’s contention. Cannot

Oklahoma’s Fix.

The state entomologist of Okla-
homa has recently requested ex-state
nurserymen to file a bond, one of the
conditions of which is that the nursery-
man desiring to selicit orders for nurs-
ery stock shall buy, sell, etc., only such
nursery stock as has been duly in-
spected and certified by an official state
inspector of the state of Oklahoma. In
the first place this bond appears to
have a fatal defect because the statute
from whi¢h it must derive its force and
effect wholly fails to provide what this
bond is for and what shall be its con-
ditions,

To give it life by judicial construc-
tion or administrative regulation would
practically be a usurpation of legisla-
tive functions. Another rather amus-
ing defect of far-reaching results is
that the bond is required of one who
desires to sell. Now, the criminal and
civil law is not interested in an intent
harbored in the mind and it is not pun-
ishable, as the Main Supreme court de-
cided in the nursery stock case above
cited, in which the objectionable law
penalized one who desired to sell nurs-
ery stock.

This Oklahoma bond raises a consti-
tutional question which is unanswer-
able. It requires the agent of ex-state
nurserymen desiring to solicit orders in
Oklahoma, a purely interstate transac-
tion, to buy and sell, ete., only Okla-
homa inspected stock. This, of course,
is physically impossible. Under the
limitations imposed by the federal Su-

preme court as above mentioned this
requirement is thoroughly unreason-
able, and for the further reason, pro-

homa officials, a new form of bond has
been offered to the nurserymen, but
still fatally defective, though omitting

pounded by the Supreme court, that
the inspection would necessarily be be-
yond the jurisdiction of Oklahoma.
The regulation is an unwarranted
burden on interstate commerce. These
objections being presented to the Okla-

San Jose Scale.

The Michigan nursery stock law pro-
vides, in one section, that all nursery

76

stock imported into Michigan must, be-
fore entry, be fumigated by hydro-
eyanic acid gas, while Michigan-grown
stock is only required to be fumigated
if grown within one-half mile of where
San Jose scale exists. This is an ob-
vious discrimination against interstate
commerce, which, under some decisions
of the United States Supreme court and
in the opinion of some attorneys, is un-
constitutional. Even if, as is the opin-
ion of some lawyers, the writer being
one, there can be discriminations
against ex-state products under certain
conditions, we still have the question
whether this is a reasonable regulation
of interstate commerce. From opinions
of those competent to give advice as
to the effect of this gas on nursery
stock if used in sufficient quantities to
kill the San Jose scale, it is alleged
that certain kinds of nursery stock
would be destroyed by this fumigation
process. It is also stated by these ex-
perts that not all forms of nursery
stock are affected by the San Jose
scale.

These facts being true, the Michigan
law requiring the ex-state nurseryman
to fumigate all nursery stock offered
for importation into Michigan is bur-
dened with conditions not imposed on
the Michigan nurseryman. Some of his
stock which is never affected by the
San Jose scale has to be fumigated;
some of his stock though it is free
from the San Jose scale cannot, be-
cause the fumigation process destroys
it, be imported into Michigan. The only
possible reason whereby this discrimi-
nation can be upheld is that this ex-
treme regulation against interstate
commerce is the only means by which
this obnoxious San Jose scale can be
kept out of Michigan. This is not the

case.

Compared with Cattle.

This scale can be readily detected by
inspection without any difficulty and
by a perfectly feasible system of in-
spection of imported nursery stock. If
such inspection discloses the presence of
San Jose scale, let the authorities take
proper action to prevent further ship-
ment, or let there be penalties for the
introduction of nursery stock affected
with the San Jose scale. The situation
is somewhat comparable to the Missouri
statute which absolutely prohibited the
introduction of all cattle from certain
states for a large part of the year.
The statute was designed to keep out
of Missouri the dreaded Texas fever.
The United States Supreme court held
this statute an unreasonable burden on
interstate commerce, because, as is evi-
dent, it prohibited interstate traffic in
healthy cattle.

The obvious conclusion of this discus-
gion is that the state’s interference
with interstate commerce by means of
the state’s police power and its consti-
tutional right of inspection is one of
great difficulty, and that these laws
should be carefully drawn. Nursery-
men admit, I believe, that state nurs-
ery stock laws are entirely proper and
necessary to protect the farms, or-
chards and woodlands of this country
from devastating diseases and pests
likely to be introduced on _ nursery
stock. I am equally positive that these
nurserymen do mot agree that this
means a license to state legislatures
and more particularly to overzealous in-
spection officials to enact or promulgate

COLUMBUS, 0.

The Market.

Trade has been brisk since the
Christmas rush and everyone is well
satisfied with the results. December
27 flowers were extremely scarce, with
a great deal of funeral work, and there
was a genuine scramble for stock. For

a time it looked as though trade would .

be rather light for New Year’s, but
by Friday noon things were humming
again.

The cloudy weather has kept the
supply of stock down, so that there
has been no opportunity to get ahead.
The opening of this week again found
the market shy on stock, with busi-
ness heavy. Potted plants are being
sold in great numbers. Azaleas have
been offered in great quantities and all
that were far enough advanced have
been disposed of. Begonias were a
close second, with cyclamens, primu-
las, etc., coming next.

Cut stock is of fine quality, espe-
cially roses, which are much _longer-
stemmed than the stock generally is
here. As soon as we get sunshine again
the cut of carnations will be heavy,
but at present stock is being cut
closely and there is hardly enough to
go around.

The epidemic of grip has taken sev-
eral of the craft for a few days and
all business here has been hampered
greatly. J. M.

INDIANAPOLIS.

The Market.

The Christmas trade was highly satis-
factory, in most cases much better than
that of 1914. Almost everything in
blooming plants was cleaned up. Poin-
settias and azaleas probably had the
best demand.

In cut flowers, roses had the best call,
carnations being a poor second. De-
spite predictions of scarcity, there was
more than enough of this latter flower
to meet the demand. Poinsettias found
a good demand. Orchids, valley, vio-
lets, sweet peas and other corsage flow-
ers found a ready market. Trade in
general during the holidays was steady,
there being the usual calls for decora-

tions. Various Notes.

The annual meeting of the State Flo-
rists’ Association of Indiana will open
at 2 p. m. at the Chamber of Commerce,
Tuesday, January 11. The usual dis-
play of cut blooms will be staged. Com-
petition will be keen for the rose and
carnation trophies. The entertainment
committee, Homer Wiegand, Oliver
Steinkamp and Clarence Thomas, has
arranged for the usual dinner, at 6
o’clock, and a theater party at Keith’s
at 8 p. m. The out-of-town florists will
be the guests of the Indianapolis flo-
rists. Local florists can secure tickets
from the committee.

Adolph Baur has been ill with the
grip.

Clarence Thomas, of Hill’s, reports a
busy week.

The Bertermann Bros. Co. is highly
pleased with the service of its new de-
livery car.

The A. Wiegand’s Sons Co. was busy
with decorations last week. H. L. W.

Delaware, O.—J. H. Cunningham has
purchased the J. C. Cox Seed Store,
which he will continue in connection
with his florists’ business. The seed
store was established twenty-six years
ago by Mr. Cox and at his death ten
years later his daughter, Miss Jennie
Cox, conducted the business with great
success. Miss Cox will take a much
needed rest, after which she will open
a gift shop at her home,

YAKE UP!

The new year dawns bright and is full of hope and profit to the
optimistic hustler. But you can’t reap unless you sow. A painful

sight is a florist idling his time away until need arises and then going
gut to buy the blooms he should be growing. ‘‘Wake up” and produce
something. It will do both soul and pocketbook good. - Nothing will
equal snapdragon whether wanted for plants sales in spring or for cut
flowers at Haster or Memorial.

THE COAL MARKET.

In this vast and varied country there
are opportunities for decided contrasts
in the market conditions in widely
separated localities. Only a week or
two ago the coal trade was full of
activity in the west, but was compara-
tively sluggish in the east. Now the
situation is reversed; in the west the
market is quiet, but in the east it has
acquired so much momentum that it is
described as having ‘‘runaway tend-
encies.’’ The present rapid movement
of coal in the east is supposed to be
due to the recent obstruction of traffic
there. The former traffic congestion,
caused by storms and by lack of cars
and boats, is now partly relieved, and
the natural consequence is a rush to
make amends for lost time.

Smokeless coal this season has had
many ups and downs—chiefly downs,
as viewed by the coal men, though pur-
chasers cannot see the matter in just
the same light. Now, we are told,
smokeless coal in Chicago is ‘‘recover-
ing from one of the worst periods of
demoralization it has had in four years.
For a while standard mine-run was
down to $1 and quotations of $1.05
were frequent. The market, due to a
change of .the weather, has recovered
this week to an average of $1.25 for
mine-run, while some are holding for
$1.40.7?

USING ONLY 2-INCH PIPE.

Please give me a little information
-on greenhouse heating. I have a small
greenhouse, 11x60 and six feet high at
‘the ridge. The side walls are three
feet and three and one-half feet high,
respectively, and contain no glass. I
‘wish to maintain a temperature of 50
{degrees when the outside temperature
is 5 degrees below zero. I should like
‘to pipe the house entirely with 2-inch
‘pipes, as I have 500 feet of these on
‘hand. How many pipes will be needed
jand how large should the boiler be?
W. V. H.—N. Y.

If the house is of good construction,
with a fairly tight roof, it can be
heated to a temperature of 50 degrees
by running a 2-inch flow pipe on each
of the wall plates and connecting them
at the farther end of the house with
coils containing three 2-inch returns
under each of the side benches. The
pipe on hand will just about suffice
for piping the house. If the flow pipes
are given a slight fall, there will be no

THE HEATING PROBLEM SOLVED

Judging strictly according to mechanical merits, it's
the METROPOLITAN PATENTED BOILER you want.

t~

Because of their proven scientifically perfect con-
struction, Metropolitan Patented Boilers will heata
given amount of water quicker, with less fuel and
less attention than any other boiler on the market.

The remarkable heating efficiency and quick
steaming qualities of these boilers are due to their
large and effective heating surface.

Just a few points of Metropolitan Patented Boiler
merit:—Smooth, perfect finished castings. Push nip-
ple connections. Large fire box, providing ample
combustion chamber, and permitting a sufficient
charge of fuel to require attention only at long inter
vals. Deep ash pit, making the removal of ashes a
slight task. Large flues, making the boiler easy to
clean. Grates that are made for hard usage and long
service. And above all, they are Fuel Saving, not
Fuel Wasting.|

We also make soft coal boilers which are smoke-
less, and save 50 per cent in coal.

occasion for using air valves, provided
the expansion tank is connected with
the highest point in the system. There
will be about 300 square feet of radi-
ating surface in the system, and for
economy of operation it would be well
to use a boiler rated for 400 square
feet, which will require a grate about
twenty inches square.

LARGER RETURNS PREFERABLE.

How many feet of pipe will be re-
quired to heat a greenhouse 45x130
and twenty-one feet high to the ridge?
The house runs east and west and has
a concrete wall, which rises three feet
above grade, with twenty-eight inches
of glass above the concrete wall all
around. There are seven benches, each
four feet five inches wide. We shall
heat with hot water and we wish to
use 114-inch pipe, as we have some of
that size on hand.

A. H. W.—Mass.

The temperature desired in the house
is not stated, and that omission makes
it impossible to give an entirely satis-
factory answer. We do not favor the
use of 14-inch pipe as returns in houses
more than fifty feet in length with an
open, gravity hot water system, unless
the returns are ten feet above the top
of the boiler, which is hardly likely in
this case. If the 14-inch pipe is used,
we would install a mercury generator
or some other attachment for placing
the system under pressure.

To pipe the house for a temperature
of 50 degrees, we would use five 214-
inch flow pipes and twenty 14-inch
returns. Carry one flow on each plate,
another about eight feet below the
ridge, and the others over the second
bench ‘from each wall. The returns
should be in five coils of four pipes
each, underneath the flow pipes. If a
temperature of 60 degrees is required,
use seven 21-inch flows and twenty-
eight 14-inch returns. This will give
a return coil of four pipes under each
bench, with the flows overhead.

We prefer, however, to use 2-inch
pipes for the returns in houses more
than seventy-five feet in length, and
for the house in question would ar-
range the radiation as follows: For a
temperature of 50 degrees, use five
2144-inch flow pipes and fifteen 2-inch
returns, in five coils of three pipes
each, locating the flows and returns
in the same relative places as sug-
gested for 14-inch returns. To main-
tain a temperature of 60 degrees, we
would suggest the use of seven 2-
-inch flow pipes and twenty-one 2-inch
pipes, in seven return coils.

The pipes should all run downhill,
with the expansion tank connected with
the highest part of the system, unless
a mereury generator is used, when the
tank may be located at any ‘convenient
place. To adapt the circulation to
weather and crop requirements, there
should be either angle or gate valves
on two of the return coils.

FORT WAYNE, IND.

The Market.

The volume of New Year’s business
was unusually large and was almost, as
some of the florists termed it, ‘‘a little
Christmas.’’ The business was mostly
in cut flowers and corsage bouquets,
although there was a brisk plant trade
and a quantity of funeral work. Roses
in all grades, but particularly the long-
stemmed flowers, were in demand, and
valley, violets, swainsonas, orchids, gar-
denias, Cecile Brunner and Aaron Ward
roses were used extensively in corsage
work. Easter and calla lilies, Russell,
Shawyer and Richmond roses and
greens were used for the better funeral
orders.

The weather during the week between
Christmas and New Year’s was ex-
tremely cold, with twelve to fourteen
inches of snow. There was much gayety
in social circles during the week, and
the demand for decorations was greater
than at any other holiday.

The great quantity of snow made de-
livery difficult after New Year’s, and
all were thankful that the weather had
not turned a day or two earlier. Since
New Year’s the market has quieted
down considerably and steck of all
kinds is normal.

Various Notes.

The Fort Wayne Flower Shop, which
opened two months ago under a Chi-
cago manager, has gone out of busi-
ness.

A cut flower department will be
opened in A. C. Aurenty’s confec-
tionery store on West Wayne street.
This stand will be in charge of Mr,
Aurenty’s brother, S. A. Aurenty. The
flowers and plants will be supplied by
the New Haven Floral Co., of New
Haven, Ind.

The first lilacs of the season were
shown in the store of the Flick Floral
Co. They are the Charles X variety.
Some fine rhododendrons in white and
of the Pink Pearl variety also were ex-
hibited.

Mrs. Lydia Auger, formerly of the
Auger Flower Shop, is at St. Joseph’s
hospital in a serious condition, follow-
ing an operation for gall stones a few
weeks ago.

The Florists’ Review JANUARY 6, 1916.

DETROIT.

The Market.

Stock of every kind has been kept
well cleaned up on this market the
last two weeks. The demand for the
holidays was unusually heavy and, in
addition, there was a big call for fu-
neral flowers. The demand for corsage
bouquets used up an enormous quan-
tity of choice stock. New Year’s busi-
ness developed a shortage in many
things.

Various Notes.

_ The cyclamen, which always plays an
important part in Christmas trade, was
an exceedingly scarce article, owing to
the heavy losses experienced by several
large local growers. Poinsettia plants
were not plentiful, many having lost
every vestige of foliage long before
the holidays. There was a good supply
of azaleas at the right price, and many
fine begonias.

Charles Plumb had an exceptionally
fine stock of begonias and azaleas for
the holidays and cleaned up to the last
one. He was one of the unfortunate
growers whose cyclamens were prac-
tically a total loss through thrips.

B. Schroeter, although a retailer, has
the reputation of growing some of the
finest cyclamens on this market. Last
year he disposed of something like
1,000 plants at wholesale to other local
retailers, but this year he lost prac-
tically every plant through thrips.
Every known method of overcoming
thrips was resorted to, but to no avail.

Hugo Schroeter was confined to his
bed last week with a severe cold, which
settled in his right foot, causing a
swelling which resulted in an abscess.
For over a week Mr. Schroeter could
not stand on his foot.

John Dinser had a fine supply of
Christmas plants and sold out com-
pletely. He was fortunate in having
a goodly supply of well grown and well
flowered cyclamens and by Christmas
had every plant sold and delivered.

Among the holiday displays which
were especially appropriate was a
Santa Claus workshop in E. A. Fetters’
window. H. 8.

Springfield, O.— Expressions from
florists and growers relative to holding
a flower show here in 1916, developed
the fact that such a show may be
given. A meeting of the Florists’ Club
will be called for the purpose of dis-
cussing the matter. A number of flo-
rists advocating the show have got the

The Florists’ Review

JANUARY 6, 1916.

WASHINGTON, D. C.

The Market.

The heavy holiday business contin-
ued until the close of New Year’s day.
With the exception of the early part
of last week, when the stores found it
necessary to use such cut flowers as
had been left over, the business of the
wholesale and commission houses was
satisfactory and fairly good prices
were maintained.

There was a heavy call for valley
and the stores cleaned up on this to
such an extent that it was impossible
.to fill all orders. The market has been
flooded with American Beauty roses,
good stock, but the demand for them
slackened after December 25. The
movement of orchids was draggy.
Richmond roses have been moving well.
They are plentiful and all of the grow-
ers seem to be on crop. Carnations are
not selling well.

The shipping business during the
week was heavy and it took care of
the many. violets, with which: the mar-
ket was almost glutted. It also proved
a good outlet for other surplus stock.
Pink roses have been scarce and have
cleaned up well daily.

Various Notes.

Among the visitors in Washington
last week were Joseph J. Goudy and
I. Rosnosky, of Philadelphia, Pa.;
Julius Dilloff and Milton Alexander,
of New York; E. L. Tanner, of Rich-
mond, Va.

Fred E. Miller, of J. H. Small &
Sons, welcomed, New Year’s day, the
arrival of a baby girl.

The feature of the week was the
New Year’s reception at the Pan-Amer-
ican Union. The building always is
decorated with plants, but on this oc-
casion its beauty was heightened by an
attractive decoration, by J. H. Small &
Sons, in which large quantities of
Mrs. Moorfield Storey and Lady Stan-
ley roses and poinsettias were used.

The Gude Bros. Co. furnished the
decorations at a theater attended by
the Pan-Americans. Cr Nas S53

HIS greenhouse, which is being used for
Sweet Pea growing, was a repeat order.

The first Metropolitan greenhouse erected for
Mr. T, F. Polbos, of Sea Cliff, Long Island, had
demonstrated to his complete satisfaction the
thoroughness of our style of construction.

THOROUGHNESS is the key note of Metro-
politan workmanship, not merely the thorough-
uess of our force right on the job, but the thor-
oughness of our entire organization—the work
of many units whose knowledge and experience
enable eur field forces to carry their work of
erection to a successful completion, with the
least expenditure of the owner’s time an@
money.

Hyde Park, Mass.—Stricken with
blindness three years ago after twénty
years of work as a florist, deprived of
his occupation and forced to re-edu-
cate his faculties so that he might
renew his calling; that, in brief, is the
history of Harry Brinkgreave, grower
of mums at Hyde Park. After becom-
ing blind Mr. Brinkgreave realized that
he must, first of all, educate his sense
of touch. He went about this system-
atically, first learning cane-seating,
then simpler forms of weaving, and,
finally, when his fingers had become
trained to act as a medium for con-
veying to his brain the mental picture
formerly produced by sight, he took up
again the duties of a florist and grower.

r. Brinkgreave has worked up a good
retail and wholesale business at Bos-
ton.

oR FLORISTS’ SPIRAEAS

scarcely fail with them, and yet they respond fully to the best efforts of

the expert.

S.A FIRST precaution in
the writing of this article,
it may be well to estab-
lish the identity of the
plant which -forms the
subject of discussion, since
the plant, though com-
Us § monly called a spirea, is

really an astilbe, accord-

ing to the botanists. And
the botanists insist on having the last
word on such matters. ‘‘But what’s
in a name?’’ says some impatient, per-
haps scornful, reader. ‘‘The plant,’’
this reader avers, ‘‘will grow as well
under one name as another.’’ Perhaps
so, but names are sometimes of vital
importance. For instance, a judge
might say, ‘‘I condemn
John Smith to be hanged
by the neck till dead,’’
when he really meant to
say, ‘‘I condemn John
Jones.’’ Such mixing of
names might be fatal—to
the wrong man. And a
method of forcing that
would agree finely with an
astilbe might be fatal to
some of the spirgas.

The Japonica Group.

Astilbe Japonica, for
years the favorite species
for forcing, formerly bore
the name Spirea Japonica
and is still generally known
in the trade as a spirea,
though the true Spirea
Japonica is a shrub, not a
herbaceous plant. The va-
riety of Astilbe Japonica
that is shown in the illus-
tration, A. Japonica Glad-
stone, is more frequently
referred to as Spirea astil-
boides Gladstone, or simply
Spirea Gladstone.

Not only are the _ so-
ealled florists’ spireas
usually astilbes, but most
of the favorite varieties,
such as Gladstone, Queen
Alexandra, grandiflora,
compacta and floribunda,
are direct ,descendants of
our old acquaintance, As-
tilbe Japonica. Of course
a few of the real spireas,
of the early-flowering class,
also are forced.

It should be understood
that the foregoing state-
ments are not intended—
perish the thought! — for
the enlightenment of the
experienced majority of flo-

. rists, to whom the facts have long been

familiar, but are recorded here in
justice to the small but deserving
minority, who may not be so well in-
formed.

What More Could Be Desired?

Astilbe Japonica and its posterity—
Gladstone and the rest—are generally
agreed to be remarkably easy to force.
Indeed, they ought to be highly es-
teemed by members of the trade who
prefer crops that can be grown with
the least risk of failure. So great and
revered an authority as William Scott
has said something like this, in speak-
ing of these astilbes: ‘‘The nature of
the soil is of small importance, if only

Spiraea Gladstone, a Favorite Forcing Variety.

Could
any reasonable person ask for greater
freedom than that in the selection of
soil? It may be added, however, that
the soil should be at least fairly rich,
for the astilbe is a hearty feeder.

it is light and easily handled.’’

And Scott continues after this
fashion: ‘‘Neither is the temperature
at all a particular matter. Anything
above 50 degrees at night will do, but
it is not well to flower them in a higher
temperature than 60 degrees, or the
blooms will wilt too quickly.’’ Again
he says: ‘‘The astilbe is not troubled
by aphis, spider, thrips, or any other
of our pests.’’ That may seem too
good to be true; a plant unmolested
by pests may seem to be an impossi-
bility anywhere outside of
the Garden of Eden. But
it is Scott that has spoken
and he clenches his remarks
with this final declaration:
‘“TIt is the simplest of all
plants to force.’’

Care of the Clumps.

Moreover, in the treat-
ment of the clumps or roots
before the forcing process
begins, it seems to be diffi-
cult to inflict serious injury
on them. The _ imported
roots should be unpacked as
soon as received, and may
then be thoroughly soaked
with water and placed in a
frame where they will be
subjected to one or two
moderate freezings before
being potted. Or they may
be potted as soon as re-
ceived, and then plunged in
ashes or fiber outside or in
a frame, where they will
have an _ opporttinity to
form roots before being
wanted in the greenhouse
for forcing.

Still another method of
caring for the newly re-
ceived clumps is to place
them in flats or boxes with
a little soil or moss_be-
tween and above the roots
and a thin covering of
straw or litter over all.
‘*Then,’’ says Scott, ‘‘ give
them a good soaking and
plave the boxes outside,
anywhere.’’ Notice the
liberty in choice of loca-
tion—he says ‘‘ anywhere,’’
but he explains that he
means any place where the
roots will be exposed to the
elements and will ‘‘have

10

The Florists’ Review

JANUARY 13,1916.

the full benefit of rain or snow to, keep
them from drying.’’ He adds the com-
forting assurance that ‘‘they are not
injured in the least by any amount of
freezing.’’

What think you of that, you who
are looking for a plant which is not
too finicky or sensitive or cantanker-
ous, which does not need to be con-
tinually petted and protected? How-
ever, the easier an act is, the better
an actor is expected to perform it, on
the stage or in everyday life. The
easier a plant is to grow, the better
must be the crop, if the grower would
compete successfully with his fellow
craftsmen. Though the astilbe may re-
fuse to die under an almost ingenious
perversity of mismanagement, and may
bloom in spite of misfortune and neg-
lect, yet it will yield richer rewards for
the right sort of culture. Though it is
not quick to resent injury or insult, it
appreciates fair treatment—adn agree-
able quality in plant or person.

A Thirsty Lot.

One of the principal facts to be
borne in mind is that astilbes are a
thirsty lot; they are veritable ‘‘soaks.’’
Whether in the border, on the forcing
bench or in the private home, they
must have plenty of water, and in
some stages of their growth, at least,
they relish something stronger than
clear water. When they prove disap-
pointing as house plants or decorative
stock, the chief cause of failure in most
cases is lack of moisture. It is ad-
visable, therefore, when selling them
for use in a private home, to instruct
the purchaser to place a saucer under
the pot and keep the saucer filled with
water.

In forcing the plants, also, the easi-
est and most satisfactory method is to
put each pot in a saucer, maintaining
a supply of water in the saucers dur-
ing the early stages of growth, but
later substituting weak liquid manure
for the water. The use of the liquid
manure should start as soon as the
sprays begin to show color, if not
sooner,

For Easter and Memorial Day.

Astilbes are not so popular as they
once were, but they are likely to re-
gain their lost favor, as they are really
among the most desirable of early spring
flowers, whether cut or in pots. They still
are in good demand at both Easter and
Memorial day. As already stated, it
is not advisable to force them hard,
but they thrive in a temperature of 55
to 60 degrees at night. The length of
time required to flower them varies
widely—from eight weeks, or even less,
to fourteen weeks— according to the
earliness or lateness of the season.
Memorial day is so near the natural
flowering period that plants intended
for use on that occasion need not be
placed in heat till near the middle of
April.

For Memorial day some of the pink
varieties, such as Queen Alexandra and
Peach Blossom, are especially suitable,
because they are later bloomers than
the white sorts and also because the
cut pink sprays are then in better de-
mand than the white ones.

Beware of Tobacco Smoke.

The young, immature growths on
astilbes are easily injured by tobacco
smoke, but, as already intimated, there
is no necessity for subjecting them to

the action of tobacco smoke, as they
are immune from the attacks of most
of the insects. When other plants in
a house are to be fumigated, the
astilbes should be protected, either by
covering them or by spraying them
thoroughly. Of course, a still better
plan, when practicable, is to have the

astilbes in a house where tobacco
smoke never is needed.

Astilbes are also satisfactory for use
in the perennial border, where they will
endure more than the average amount

‘of neglect, but they flourish best in

rich, moist soil, especially if partly
shaded by trees.

MR. HAYES’ RAPID RECOVERY.

At midnight, November 23, fire com-
pletely demolished the handsome down-
town store of James Hayes, at Topeka,
Kan. Nothing was saved from the
flames and the loss was only partly cov-
ered by insurance. Mr. Hayes, how-
ever, was not discouraged by his severe
loss, for on the following morning, at
8 a. m., he opened a store directly across
the. street from the still smoldering re-
mains of the former one. Business in
the new quarters was carried on under
many difficulties, but Mr. Hayes did a
good Thanksgiving business and enjoyed
good trade during the twenty days he
was forced to remain there. +

When the Thanksgiving business was
disposed of, Mr. Hayes immediately
concentrated his energies on plans for
a-new store at the old location. Hav-
ing a keen eye for the big Christmas
business due a few weeks later and be-
ing determined to get his share of it,
Mr. .‘Hayes was confronted with the
problem of outfitting his store and hav-
ing everything in tiptop shape in the
course of two weeks. Mr. Hayes placed
the entire order for new fixtures with
a Kansas City company, giving it
just fifteen days to complete the manu-
facture and set the fixtures in the new
store. He had to persuade the com-

pany to lay all other work to one side
and devote all its facilities to his fix-
tures. Mr. Hayes says that a tidy bit
of extra cash was required to swing the
deal, but that he simply had to be
back at the old stand in time for Christ-
mas. Mr. Hayes remarks: ‘‘I returned
to the old location in time and did the
largest Christmas trade in the history
of the business—and we have had a
store for the last twenty-five years.’’
The accompanying illustration gives a
view of the interior of Mr. Hayes’ new
store, at 107 West Eighth street.

MR. BRYANT’S BRIDE’S BOUQUET.

The florist who is incessantly on the
watch for good bouquet arrangements
perhaps will find food for thought in
the illustration on page 11, which de-
picts a bride’s bouquet made of 150
valley. As will be noticed, the bouquet
is not round, but falls naturally and
gracefully over the arm of the bearer.
It was the work of J. L. Bryant, de-
signer for,A. C. Brown, of Springfield,
Ill., who contends that in only one case
is the round ‘‘cauliflower’’ arrange-
ment. permissible, and that is when it
is strictly colonial in style. Mr. Brown
says:, ‘‘The illustration is not sub-
mitted because there is anything par-

ticularly striking about the bouquet,
but because the florist in the small town,
who has infrequent calls for such a
bouquet, perhaps would like to know
how it should look. The bride would
know where to take hold of the bouquet
and how to carry it.’’

CHICAGO CLUB MEETS.

That cold has no terrors for the flo-
rists of Chicago and vicinity when a
club meeting is in prospect was proved
by the goodly number in attendance at
the protracted session in the Morrison
hotel, January 6. With the exception
of the installation of officers, there was
no special feature scheduled for this
evening. But one marked peculiarity
of the Chicago Florists’ Club meetings
is the fact that when nothing in par-
ticular is slated, something of unusual
interest is almost sure to occur.

In his annual report President Keimel
spoke of the gratifying growth of the
club in the last twelve months—sixty-
seven new members exclusive of those
becoming members through the amalga-
mation of the Chicago Florists’ Club
and the Cook County Florists’ Associa-
tion. The reports of the secretary and
treasurer were deferred till the next
meeting.

George Asmus, speaking for the trus-
tees, suggested a novel plan for con-
verting into liquid form the silver
punch bowl which, in default of its
being won at the recent flower show,
was donated to the club by the green-
house manufacturers of Chicago. The
plan is to raffle it on the sale of 500
tickets at $1 each. Mr. Asmus said
that each of the three trustees had de-
clared a willingness to take twenty-five
of these tickets. As to the remaining
tickets, it was suggested that one be
mailed to each member of the club with
a request that he retain it and send the
money to the secretary. It is to be
- fullv- understood that.the sale of these
tickets be confined to members of the
' trade. The club voted to leave the
_ matter to the, discretion of the trustees.
A report of the transportation com-
- mittee recommended the Wabash rail-
road to those wishing to attend the con-
, vention of the American Carnation So-
_ ciety, in St. Louis, January 26 and 27.
- The one-way fare is $5.80 for a party
‘of ten or more traveling on one ticket.
The train leaves Chicago at 11:55 p. m.,
arriving in St. Louis at 7:53 a. m.

With these matters out of the way,
the ceremony of installing officers was
begun by President Keimel. Escorting
Alexander Henderson, president-elect, to
the chair, he introduced him with words
of strong commendation, bespeaking for
him the hearty support of the club.
After a few forceful remarks by Presi-
dent Henderson, George Asmus moved
that a rising vote of thanks be given
Mr. Keimel for his valuable services
to the club while acting as its president.
The motion was acted upon with much
enthusiasm. Mr. Keimel, with his usual
modesty, disclaimed any credit attach-
ing to the club’s advance during the
last year and attributed it rather to the
work of others. William E. Tricker,
when introduced as vice-president, ex-
pressed his appreciation of the honor
and gave assurance that he would do all
in his power to support the president.
Guy French, of course, when his turn
came, couldn’t keep off the subject of
the dues for the ensuing year. He said
his motto is ‘‘Do it now.’’ Paul

Bride’s Bouquet of 150 Valley, by John L. Bryant.

Klingsporn, having the treasury in
mind, quite naturally adverted to the
matter of dues, also.

E. G. Hill, of Richmond, Ind., the
guest of the evening, made application
for membership and paid therewith a
full year’s dues in advance, thus es-
tablishing a precedent for 1916. He
also entered an application for Joseph
Hill, of Richmond. On motion, the
rule was suspended and they were bal-
loted upon and elected to membership,
together with W. W. Randall and J. E.
Pollworth, of Chicago, and Michael
Staclonik, of Niles Center, II.

George Asmus drew attention to the
fact that there are now eighty-seven
members of the club who are also mem-
bers of the 8S. A. F., and urged others to
join the national body to secure repre-
sentation for the Chicago club on its
board of directors. He also suggested
that the next meeting night, February
10, be designated for a novelty exhibi-
tion. The suggestion was acted upon
and W. J. Keimel was appointed chair-

man of the committee in charge. He
selected as his aids A. Miller, W. E.
Tricker, A. T. Pyfer, E. Ollinger and
H. Nichols. E. G. Hill was asked to
give a talk on roses at the February
meeting. His acceptance was condi-
tional. Mr. Hill in this connection said
that one of the most hopeful signs of
the day is the growing desire in the
younger members of the trade for a
knowledge of cultural methods. He
dwelt on the necessity of buying new
varieties and trying them out. The
public is hungry for something new,
he said, and we must feed it.

C. W. Johnson seized the opportu-
nity to call attention to the meeting of
the Illinois State Florists’ Association
in Rock Island next March.

Guy French brought greetings to the
club from John Poehlmann, president
of the Poehlmann Bros. Co., who was
taken to the German hospital January
6 for treatment of a chronic stomach
trouble. E. G. Hill recommended that
a letter be indited in behalf of the club,

wishing Mr. Poehlmann a speedy re-
covery. The recommendation’ found
ready acceptance.

George Asmus in a short talk told of
the work being done to boost the Na-
tional Flower Show and advised imme-
diate consideration by the club of a
flower show next fall. His stand found

many supporters and, after discussion,

LIME-SULPHUR FOR’ SPIDER.

In The Review of November 11, 1915,
page 38, under the title of ‘‘ Stem- rot
and Other Diseases,’’. Geo. N. Tyler
gave his experience in usjng lime and
sulphur for stem-rot of campations. The
subject is exceedingly esting to
many of us and we should be glad if
Mr. Tyler could be persuaded to enter
further into the details.

“We have controlled red spider on car-
nations by means of the regular lime-
sulphur solution, as it is commonly used
for spraying fruit trees. We used it
at the rate ef one gallon of the solu-
tion to sixty gallons of water, spray-
ing the plants thoroughly. We used
two gallons of the mixture for a bed
5x150 feet, with good results, but it
will spoil the open flowers; therefore
care is necessary. The best time to ap-
ply it is soon after the plants are
housed and before the flowers begin
to open. Isaac A. Passmore.

POINSETTIA STOCK PLANTS.

I have read with interest the query
and reply, under the title of ‘‘Treat-
ment of Poinsettias,’’ on page 17 of
The Review of December 30, and I
agree with the answer by C. W., but I
cannot see why E. M. 8S. should wish
to pull his old stock plants out of the
bench in October, when by letting them

stand he would be able to cut fine flow- °

ers from them for Christmas.

I bench my stock plants during April
and take cuttings from them as fast as
they are produced, or until September
1. After that I let all the shoots grow
for cut flowers, getting from three to
eight good blooms from each stock
plant. These flowers bring me $3 to $6
per dozen at Christmas and I never
have had enough of them. When the
plants are properly treated the blooms
are highly satisfactory to my cus-
tomers, keeping about ten days or two
weeks. After cutting all the flowers
from the plants, I dry them off grad-
ually in the same soil. Then, about
February 15, I store them under a dry
carnation bench, covering the roots
with dry sand, and there they remain
until April again arrives.

THE GROWERS’ NEED.

The paragraph in The Review for
January 6, saying that the retailers
should not try to force the prices on
cut flowers to as low levels as those of
the last two years, struck me as hit-
ting the nail squarely on the head.

It seems a pity that in our busi-
ness there is no fixed price for our

the American Carnation Society. This
support was promised with a will.

product. We know to a certainty what
it will cost us to produce our wares,
and we know how much we must get
for them to make us sure that the bal-
ance is not on the wrong side of the
ledger, and ‘yet we are at the mercy of
people who do not know the growers’
side of the business.

The retailer could, and, I think,
should, work hand in hand with the
grower. He-can help the grower in
many different ways. When there is a
large cut of flowers he should come
down with his price and sell more and
in that way help move the glut.

I said that we growers know how
much we must receive for our flowers.
I have kept records for four years of
my cut from each bench in my green-
houses and I know the average cut per
rose plant I can expect. I claim that
if one takes all into consideration
(some benches must be thrown out early
to make room for young plants and
many other things you must consider),
you can not do better than twenty
flowers to a plant. Now, I know some

HOW TO GROW GLADIOLI ERECT.

Please tell me how gladioli should
be grown in the field to keep them up-
right without staking. The staking
would require a great amount of work
and expense. Would rather deep plant-
ing and massing them in rows overcome
this difficulty? K. F. C.—Minn.

In order to have your gladioli stand
erect in the field you should plant them
six inches deep. With shallow planting
you may get an earlier growth, but
droughts will affect the plants more
and they will droop over a great deal
from the action of wind and rain.

will say they can do better than that.
Yes; I can, too, but only in a few in-
stances and when you come to figure
averages you find a different story.
Now, as to what should be the lowest

_price-per flower the grower should get,

my records of the expenses of running
my greenhouses show that the lowest
price should not be below 4 cents aver-
At that price a grow-
er makes his living and manages to get
through and that’s all. The last two
years there were times when the aver-
age price went as low as 50 cents per
hundred. The big growers who whole-

_ gale their flowers seem better off than

the smaller men, and yet they are the
first ones to cut the prices. I know of
four large growers who do not keep a

_record of anything they grow and how

they can fix the prices for all the mar-
ket I can not understand. Let us be
frank with each other and tell the
truth. Everyone is talking about doing
more business every year, but not the
small grower who grows for the whole-
sale market. Now, he should be the

. first to notice any increase in business,

because whatever is sold must come
from him, and yet at the end of a year

Who gets the money? There
is something wrong somewhere, or else

_ the talk is all humbug.

There are many other points that I
would like to speak about, but as this
article is getting a little too long and

‘many a busy man would not take the

time to read it, I will say only a few

. more words about our wholesalers. I

think they are trying to do the right

‘ thing with us growers, but the condi-

tions under which they find themselves
are wrong. No united action; every-
body trying to make a sale, and the

_one who gets it in the neck is the

grower.

_ Pink Perfection is comparatively new

and when grown outdoors the petals
lack ‘substance. Halley, I find, has a
slender spike which tends to crook. I
also. would like to know if Peace is a
good forcing variety. I have grown it
outdoors, where it seems to be an ex-
ceptionally strong grower.
E. W. F.—N. J.

Hollandia is not a good forcing va-
riety. Pink Perfection is a good forcer.
Its name, however, is largely a mis-
nomer; the flower is not of a taking
eolor and it will never prove popular.
Halley succeeds better outdoors than
indoors. None of these varieties is at
all equal to America or Mrs. Francis
King as an indoor variety; none of
them will sell as well as either of the
last two sorts. I have not tried Peace
indoors. Perhaps some grower who has
done’so would favor us with his experi-
ence. Augusta is not so good a white,
but is popular commercially, as it is a
good forcer. C.

AMERICAN GLADIOLI LEAD.

I have read with interest Mr. Mead-
er’s article in The Review for January
6 and I appreciate all he says about Mr.
Kunderd’s work in introducing ‘some
good varieties of gladioli, but from a
rather intimate knowledge of the gla-
diolus business of -the last ten or fif-
teen years I feel that I must take ex-
ception to what Mr. Meader says when
he states that ‘‘until comparatively
recently practically all the leading
named varieties were originated by for-
eign growers,’’ unless Long Island is a
foreign country.

Out of curiosity I have looked up
the sales of one grower for the last five
years on a few varieties that were orig-
inated on Long Island, which are as
follows:

I could, if necessary, name twenty-
five to fifty more varieties that have
been originated on Long Island, the sale
of which has been extensive during the
last ten years.

In addition to the above I can cite
the variety America, which originated
in this country, was introduced ten
years ago, and has had a phenomenal
sale, for two or three years during its
prime the sales of one firm alone reach-
ing a million bulbs a year. Then there
are the varieties May and Shakespeare,
which were produced in this country,
sales of which have been enormous dur-
ing the last ten years. As a florists’
variety, Shakespeare still is one of the
best. Of more recent introduction I
might mention Niagara and Panama,
two. more varieties originated in Ohio.

I think I am safe in saying that until
only three or four years ago more va-
rieties were sent to Europe from Long
Island than were exported from Europe
to the United States, as unless I am
much mistaken, the number of varieties
imported until the last four or five
years was limited indeed, the variety
Brenchleyensis being the chief impor-

tation outside of the Colvillei type. I
believe I am also safe in saying that
up to eight years ago more gladiolus
bulbs were shipped from this country
to Europe than were sold in the whole
United States, but this condition has
been changed during recent years.

many bulbs should I use at each plant-
ing? When should the first planting be
done, and at what times should the sub-
sequent plantings take place? What
size of bulb is best and how far apart
should the bulbs be planted? How
should the soil, which now is being used
for growing truck, be treated?
G. 8S. W.— W.Va.

As your ground now is being used for
growing truck, it probably is in good
shape and will not require any addi-
tonal fertilizer; if it does, there is

nothing better than stable manure,
plowed in. Do this now if possible;
if not, then do it as early in the spring
as the ground can be worked. As soon
as the ground is well harrowed, the sim-
plest way to plant the bulbs is to line
out the rows about three feet apart
with a plow. Set the bulbs about six
to eight inches apart in the rows and
cover them by means of the plow. The
growths can be worked with a horse
thereafter more economically than by
hand.

The first and biggest planting should
be made as soon as the frost is gone.
A month should elapse before the next
planting and the plantings thereafter
should be only two. weeks apart. It is
easy to calculate the number of bulbs
to plant, but always plant a good many
more than you require. There is little
difference between thea size of the
blooms from small or iarge bulbs, but
if you want the finest blooms plant the:
best bulbs. We find the best sellers
here are America and Mrs. Francis
King. The bulbs will mature their flow-
ers the next season if you leave them as
late as possible in the fall before dig-
ging them up. Let them get dry and
store them in a cool, dry place, out of
reach of frost, and they will give per-
fectly satisfactory results the next sea-

‘ son.

IN THE MONTANA MOUNTAINS.

Up in the northwest corner of the
state of Montana, among the mountains,
is the establishment of W. E. Mills, at
the county seat of Kalispell. Twenty
acres of land produces all the outdoor
flowers the surrounding territory can
use, and 36,000 square feet of glass is
used to furnish the neighboring mar-
kets with greenhouse flowers and vege-
tables. For next autumn, 5,000 carna-
tions and 3,000 chrysanthemums have
been planted. A wide variety of other
flowers is grown. Lettuce in great
quantities is marketed through the
northwest.

For the greenhouses at Kalispell Gar-
dens, Mr. Mills obtained the material
from halfway across the continent. The
houses are from the A. Dietsch Co., Chi-

SEASONABLE NOTES.

Bedding Geraniums.

There will now be bench space to
spread out the little bedding geraniums
properly. The early potted ones in
2-inch or 2%4-inch pots should go into
3-inch pots. The strongest ones will
give a nice cutting each within a few
weeks, which can be rooted and sold
in 3-inch pots in May. Keep the stock
plants in a light, sunny house. The
stockier the cuttings are the less lia-
bility there is that they will damp off.

This treatment should apply to all
\ geraniums. They do not want shade
at any time, not even when in the cut-
ting bench. Keep them at 48 to 50
degrees at night, in a dry, buoyant
atmosphere. Ventilate freely and let
the sun have full play and there will
not be much chance for leaf disease or
stem-rot to develop. Do not hose the
plants overhead, as you would a house
of foliage plants. Do not let them
crowd one another; give them a/ fresh
stand from time to time, at the same
time removing weeds and decaying
foliage and removing any sliminess
from the surface of the soil. The most
probable causes of stem-rot are leaving
the cuttings too long in the sand after
they are rooted, too deep potting and
improper soil. By the latter I mean
soil which contains manure not suffi-
ciently decayed. Any manure used for
geraniums should be old, and it is best
when it will crumble in the hand. That
secured from old hotbeds or spent
mushroom beds is good, provided it has
been well dried out in the sun and is
free from worms. Fine bone at the
rate of a 3-inch pot to each bushel of
loam, or a 4-inch pot if other manure
is not used, makes an excellent food
for geraniums. It is also good on the
surfaces of the pots to assist estab-
lished plants. It is surprising how the
roots will come up and devour this
stimulant, and it builds up a stocky
growth, which means floriferous plants.
Everyone knows that at bedding-out
time the average buyer demands plants
with a flower truss open, no matter if
they are smaller in size than others
not in bloom.

Winter-fiowering Geraniums.

Sometime within the next three or
four weeks cuttings should be put in
of geraniums wanted in flower next
Thanksgiving or Christmas. A good
plan is to pot the cuttings singly in
2-inch pots of sandy loam. Stand them
on a bench where they will get some
bottom heat. Do not shade them at all,
and only water them when really nec-
essary. When rooted, shift them into
3-inch pots and later into 44-inch and
6-inch pots. The latter size will give
splendid plants, which, if properly cared
for, will carry anywhere from six to
fifteen trusses each, according to the
variety. While the singles make much
the finest and freest blooming pot

plants for winter and are the best for
home trade, the doubles are to be pre-
ferred where plants have to be shipped
some distance. Scarlet, crimson, sal-
mon and clear pink are the best selling
colors, in this order.

Scented-Leaved Geraniums.

About everyone who has a small gar-
den wants one or two sweet-scented
plants, and of these scented geraniums
and lemon verbenas have first call. ‘If
you have carried over a few stock
plants of the various scented geraniums,
get a batch of cuttings in now. They
will soon root and can be grown along
more rapidly than the ordinary bedding
geraniums, so that in most cases you
can have them in 4-inch pots in time
for spring sales.

CARNATIONS IN THE SOUTH.

In the south the days are lengthening
appreciably and the carnation plants
are- beginning to show their heavy
spring growth. A top-dressing of sheep
manure can be applied now and lightly
raked in. Great care should be taken
to keep the temperature of the houses
just right. The next six or eight weeks
are generally the coldest of the year,
and usually show great changes. The
weather must be watched both day and
night to avoid rapid changes in the
temperature of the houses, otherwise
a heavy crop of split carnations is
sure to be the result. It is advisable
in the south to run the carnations just
a little warmer than do the northern
growers. I have found few split car-
nations in a temperature of 54 degrees
at night, if this temperature can be
fully maintained during the few extra
cold snaps. I do not remember ever
having seen a single split calyx farther
south, where the houses were run at 56
degrees. With this higher temperature
some night ventilation was given, ex-
cept during unusually cold snaps. At-
tend carefully to the disbudding and
spend some time in keeping the plants
growing straight in their proper spaces.

The top-dressing of sheep manure may
be renewed every three weeks. Spray
the plants with the tobacco extracts
regularly once every week or ten days
as a precaution against thrips, which
may soon be expected to develop their

I would make a lump price to cover

Dallas, Tex.—The decorations at the
recent ball of the Columbian Club were
executed by the Rische-Chollar Co.
Palms, ferns and bay trees decorated
the halls and southern smilax formed
an arch over the stairway. A myriad
of colored lights were strung across the
ceiling and intermingled with the
greenery, smilax and autumn leaves.
A quaint Thanksgiving scene in a New
England cabin was an artistic achieve-
ment. In the banquet room the columns
were wrapped with smilax, holly and
leaves. In the upper hall, punch was
served from an elaborate arbor made of
Mexican ivy and smilax. This was the
second large decoration handled by the
Rische-Chollar Co. since its formation
a short time ago.

into a warmer temperature, say 55 de-
grees at night, for a couple of weeks,
when they can be raised to 60 degrees.
Twelve weeks in the latter is gener-
ally all that is considered necessary to
flower the Otaksas, but two weeks more
is better. Easter is quite late this
year, so that there should be no trou-
ble in having them on time. If they
need hurrying, the temperature can be
raised 5 or 10 degrees. They require
quite a lot of water. A few doses
of liquid manure when the flower first
shows will swell the size and help the
color. If you can see the flower heads
six weeks before Easter they will make
it in the lower temperature.

The French varieties will come two
weeks or more earlier in the same tem-
peratures.

BULBS IN THE SOUTH.

The first boxes of Golden Spur nar-
cissi and early tulips now should be in
a brisk heat under a table. Give them
plenty of water. The tulip as a cut
flower seems to sell rather poorly in the
south, but I find here that when they
are potted into pans they sell more than
readily and at a greater profit. For
this purpose you want them rather
dwarf; after the season is more ad-
vanced they need not be given any
shade during the forcing period.

Dutch hyacinths are better left in
the frame until the beginning of Feb-
ruary, when they may be brought into
the heat to develop their flowers. Keep
them on the dwarf side. They are more
easily handled and sell better when
dwarfed. Box all these bulbs and pot
them into pans as they develop. L.

WORK OF THE PROPAGATOR.

The Best Bench.

The fact that many carnation spe-
cialists have been propagating for a
month or more need not disturb the
average grower. Their early cuttings
will make fine stock if properly cared
for, but unless they are shifted from
time to time, the cuttings put in dur-
ing this month or early February will
make better plants and with far less
worry. No doubt you have selected
your propagating bench, which should
be so located that you have complete
control over the sunshine and air cur-
rents. We find a north bench espe-
cially well adapted to this use, as a cur-
tain hung in front will serve to keep
off both sun and draft. We like the
curtain better than the old method of
laying newspapers on the cuttings, al-
though good results are had that way.
We also prefer a bench with a brick
or tile bottom, but frequently use a
bench with a board bottom when the
others are overcrowded, and with good
results.

Put on a scant four inches of sand
and pack it down firmly to about three
inches. Use sharp sand and be sure it
is clean. Change the sand for each
batch of cuttings, as it is poor economy
to use sand over and over. A load of
sand will suffice to propagate about 10,-
000 cuttings and a few cuttings will
pay for a yard of sand.

The Best Cutting.

Many specialists, particularly those
who make a business of selling rooted
cuttings, grow part of their stock es-
pecially for cuttings. There is prac-
tically no difference in the quality of
the cuttings taken from this cut-back
stock and those taken from the bloom-
ing stock, but there is less danger of
poor cuttings being taken. If you
propagate from your blooming stock,
be careful to select only strong cut-
tings from near the base of the flower
stems. Those growing high on the
stems are weak and will not make
strong plants.

You will likely take the cuttings
with a heel, which you will find advis-
able to cut away in trimming the cut-
tings for the cutting bench. We find
that many varieties will not root read-
ily from the heel and we are able to
make a more even lot of cuttings by
cutting away the bottom. We cut
right through a joint, as that enables
us to get enough stem for inserting in

the sand, without having to tear away
any more leaves.

The Best Treatment.

Cut back any leaves that stand out-
ward and shorten back slightly the cen-
ter leaves. There will be less wilting
and less crowding in the cutting bench.
Have a vessel of water to throw each
cutting into as it is trimmed, leaving
them in the water a half hour or so.
This plumps them up, so that wilting
will not take place before the cuttings
begin to draw water from the sand.
Give a good watering after the cut-
tings have been inserted in the sand

Such friendly assistance is thoroughly
appreciated,

Give us the name of anyone from
whom you are buying, not an adver-
tiser. We especially wish to interest
those selling articles of florist’s use
not at present advertised,

and give plenty of water until rooted.
Do not crowd too closely in the sand.
Medium-sized cuttings will do nicely if
placed about an inch apart in the row,
with the rows two and one-half inches
apart. If the sand is packed down
firmly, three-quarters of an inch in the
sand is sufficient to hold the cuttings
upright and that is all you want.
Keep the sun off entirely for the first
week and be sure to keep drafts off, as
they are worse than sunshine. A badly
wilted carnation cutting might as well
be thrown out and you will find that
success will depend on keeping the cut-
tings in a fresh condition for four
weeks with as little overhead spraying
as possible. A. F: J. Baur.

WELLS WINS AMERICAN CUP.

Whatever foundation, or lack of
foundation, there may be for the opin-
ion that the carnation in this country
has recently been declining somewhat
in popular favor, there is no indication
that the flower is suffering such a re-
lapse in England, if we may judge by
the demonstrations of public sentiment
at the winter show of the Perpetual
Flowering Carnation Society, held in
London in December. In spite of the
fact that the exhibition, on account
of conditions created by the war, was
below its usual standard, the attend-
ance was much larger than at any-of
the recent shows of the Royal Horti-
cultural Society. There were other at-
tractions besides the carnations, but
there were unmistakable evidences that
the carnations were the great center of
interest.

It is worthy of note, also, that
though the competition in some of the
classes was meager and some of the
best awards are said to have ‘‘gone
begging,’’ there was a fair showing of
blooms in the contest for the American
cup, for three vases of American novel-
ties. The cup was won by W. Wells &
Co., Merstham, with Champion, Laura
Weber and Pink Sensation.

BISULPHIDE FOR SOIL PESTS.

I have a bench of fine, healthy look-
ing carnations, but some of the plants
recently began to wilt. On investigat-
ing, I saw that the roots were rotted
off and I found a considerable number
of small white mites, which seemed to
be exceedingly active among the roots.
I purchased some carbon bisulphide,
made a hole in the ground near each
plant, poured in a teaspoonful and
closed the hole. This seemed to kill
the mites and fishworms, but the plants
died also. Is the bisulphide injurious
to the plants, or was the treatment
entirely proper? JI have lost about
twenty plants. H. M. K.—Ind.

Inasmuch as you seem to have de-
stroyed the mites and angleworms in
the carnation soil, I would consider
the treatment successful. When a
vigorously growing plant is injured
seriously enough at the roots to cause
wilting, the chances for saving its life
are usually rather slim. The only way
to insure against losing more plants
from this same cause is to go over the
whole bed and apply the bisulphide at
stated distances apart. A. F. J. B.

Seed Sowing.

Quite a variety of seeds may now be
sown. It is well to remember that in
midwinter, before the sun has much
power, germination is better than later,
when flats and pans dry out more rap-
idly and when a little neglect may
mean a heavy loss of seedlings. Fine
loam, leaf-mold and sand make an
ideal compost for seedlings. It should
be passed. through a. fine screen and
firmed evenly once the seeds are sown.
Be sure also that the drainage is ample.
A few fine seeds, such as petunias,
tuberous begonias, fibrous begonias' and
gloxinias, are better if sown without
any covering except a fine dusting of
sand. Itjs also well to water the pans
with a fine rose before these are sown.
All newly sown seeds must be pro-
tected from the sun. The more suscep-
tible ones, such as those already named,
should have sheets of glass laid over
the pans and all should be covered with
paper or cloth, which can be removed
at night and on sunless days and gradu-
ally be dispensed with as the seedlings

germinate.

A few other seeds to sow now are
verbena, canna, Asparagus plumosus
and: A. Sprengeri, torenia, Dracena
australis, Grevillea robusta, lobelia,
Vinca rosea, Centaurea gymnocarpa
and musa.

Many hardy perennials also can be
started now and in a number of cases
these will flower the same: season. A
few varieties of proved commercial
value are Lupinus polyphyllus, lychnis,
delphinium, Lobelia cardinalis and L.
syphilitica, primula, gypsophila, core-
opsis, gaillardia, pentstemon, physos-
tegia and dianthus. These perennials
can be transplanted into shallow flats.
They can be gradually hardened off be-
fore setting the plants out in nursery
rows, or, if preferred, a number may be
potted off and later plunged in cold-
frames where there is a call for pot-
grown hardy perennials, and it is a
well known fact that there is a rapid
increase in the sales of this hardy
stock.

Bulbous Plants.

Many of the Dutch bulbs are now
well started. If they have been prop-
erly taken care of and not allowed to
get too dry at the root they should all
flower satisfactorily, always provided
they have not been heated in transit
from Holland. If flats and pans are
full of live, active roots, and top
growths are not less than two inches
high, they are in good condition to
force. At this early season all of the
narcissi and tulips, especially the lat-
ter, are better drawn up in a warm,
dark place until the flowers show color,
then gradually inured to more light.
Same varieties which can be housed
at once are Henry Irving, Trumpet
Major, Golden Spur, Silver Spur and
ornatus narcissi, Campernelle jonquils,
La Reine and White Hawk tulips. Of
course some of these have already ap-

peared on the markets, but the average
country florist will not find much money
in the early forced stock.

Lilacs.

For early forcing, lilacs are better if
started in a dark, warm cellar. After
this time a warm greenhouse, kept at

SEASONABLE NOTES.

Renanthera Imshootiana.

Renanthera Imshootiana has been
freely exhibited the last two or three
seasons at the late winter and spring
exhibitions and has attracted much fa-
vorable notice. It is of easy culture
and quite inexpensive, and can be de-
pended upon to flower freely each sea-
son. The plant in habit is not unlike a
small-leaved Vanda cerulea, and it suc-
ceeds well with the same treatment ac-
corded that charming orchid. Some
growers may remember the old R. coc-
cinea, which has been in cultivation for
a century. This used to be considered
a hard subject to flower. It grew well
and attained a great height tied to
stumps in warm, moist houses, but
would not bloom unless given plenty of
sun. R. Lowei is another variety still
occasionally. seen in warm houses. R.
Imshootiana, even in a 3-inch pot, will
carry a large and much branched spike
of its red, gold-suffused flowers, and
these keep fresh for a number of weeks.

used to plant in shrubberies.

The Propagating Bench.

At the coldest period of the year,
which we have now reached, when we
cannot ventilate houses freely and when
the heating pipes are constantly warm,
we are assured of a steady heat in the
propagating bench, and at no season of
the year can we be more certain of cut-
tings rooting than now. Given sand
of good porosity, which is clean, and
proper: watering and shading, few cut-
tings should fail to root. Careless wa-
tering, neglect in shading and too much
ventilation are responsible for most of
the failures in propagation.

In the warm cutting bench many

plants can now be rooted, including
crotons, dracenas, acalyphas, diffen-
bachias, coleus, alternantheras, helio-
tropes, begonias, lemon verbenas, which
should be rubbed off with a heel, using
new, soft growths; impatiens, agera-
tums, etc.
- Where it is cooler, say, a bottom heat
not. over 60 degrees and 10 degrees
lower above, chrysanthemums, English
ivies, .ericas, genistas, boronias and
geraniums will root nicely. In addition
to- the foregoing there are other bed-
ding plants, such as’ fuchsias, agera-
tums, salvias, petunias, verbenas, lobe-
lias and that useful decorative "plant,
Pandanus Veitchii, not forgetting the
old rubber plant, Ficus elastica.

HIDS

It likes a compost of fern fiber and live
sphagnum. Some of the sphagnum can
be kept growing on the surfaces of the
pots.

Cypripediums.

At this season cypripediums are es-
pecially attractive, as sO many varie-
ties are in flower. Of course, some of
the lady’s slippers are always ‘to be had
in flower, but in midwinter there is a
wonderful assortment of fine varieties
in season. Commercially, C. insigne is
about the only sort grown in quantity.
This old sort stands a lot of hard treat-
ment and will flower well each season
in spite of it. The yellow forms will
some day be the leaders in the markets.
As yet they are not grown in sufficient
numbers, but the prices of the plants
have steadily declined until now they
are within the reach of all. Of the
yellow forms Sandere is still the ‘best
by long odds, with Sanderianum, Doro-
thy, Laura Kimball, Brightness and
Luciana as other leaders. The yellow
forms grow well and flower freely, and
anyone with a suitable house for cypri-
pediums should secure some. The flow-
ers realize much higher prices than the
ordinary types. All cypripediums like

shade all the time, but insigne can be
qpegtlly grown even in a dwelling
‘ehouse. "

Flowering now is C. Leeanum, an-
other fine florists’ variety, with broad,
attractive dorsal sepals. The best of
many fine forms is C. Leeanum Clinka-
berryanum, in which there is a remark-
able breadth to the dorsal sepal. C.
villosum is another old variety that is
flowering now or will bloom within a
few weeks, with rich, shiny leaves. The
flowers are attractive and never fail to
sell. The same holds true of C. Sallieri
aureum. OC. Harrisianum is often seen
in the markets. It is seen in bloom at
a variety of seasons. The variety su-
perbum is an immense improvement on
the original type. C. aureum Hyeanum
is another fine florists’ variety. Plants
of the selenipedium section are espe-
cially valuable where orchid flowers are
wanted at all seasons. These flower
continuously from the same spikes for
six to nine months in many cases.

The repotting of cypripediums which
are done flowering can be started now.
It is well to remember that the season
after repotting the plants will not flow-
er so freely, so it is not advisable to
pot too many in one season. Drain the
pots or pans efficiently with coarse
cinders, broken crocks or charcoal. I
have also seen the rough portions of
fern fiber used advantageously. Fern
fiber, with some new sphagnum added,
makes a good potting medium. The
insignes do better with some fibrous
loam added, with all the fine particles
shaken out. Water sparingly after re-
potting, but the plants can be sprayed
on clear days.

Vanda Cerulea.

The flowering season for Vanda ceru-
lea extends for about six months where
a fair-sized batch is grown. The
plants will not flower freely unless
they are given plenty of winter sun and
are shaded only moderately’ through the
hot months. Where the plants have
become quite leggy they can be cut
down and the tops, with roots attached,
will soon reéstablish themselves in a
compost of fern fiber and sphagnum in
well drained pots or deep pans. It may
be noted that plants with beautiful
dark green foliage have not bloomed
at all. That shows their treatment has
been wrong. Another season give them
more light and they will show the bene-
fits of the change by flowering satis-
factorily. Vanda cerulea does not need
a hot, moist, stuffy house, like some
other East Indian orchids; 55 to 60 de-
grees at night, with plenty of air, such
as there should be in a cattleya house,
suits it to -a nicety.

Deciduous Dendrobes.

Dendrobium nobile and its many
forms, with D. Wardianum and some hy-
brids, will now be resting. A good many
will have their flower nodes showing
conspicuously and a few, if not in flower
now, will bloom soon. These dendrobes
are usually, but not always, deciduous.
On D. Wardianum the bulbs are always
leafless at flowering time, but some
forms of D. nobile flower on pseudo-
bulbs, produced the preceding season,
and these retain their dark green foli-
age, which adds greatly to their at-
tractiveness. Water these dendrobes
sparingly until the nodes show that
they really carry flower buds. An over-
supply of moisture will cause a large

proportion of the nodes to emit roots
and produce growths. Where plants
carry these growths produced a season
ago, the present is a suitable time to
cut them off. Put several together in
small, shallow pans in pure, fresh
sphagnum. They will make splendid
plants in a single season, especially if
given a little liquid manure during the
summer.

NEW HOME OF THE M. RICE CoO.

The illustration on this page is a re-
production of the architect’s drawing
of the new home of the M. Rice Co., of
Philadelphia, as it will appear when
completed in July of this year. The
building will occupy three fronts, Nos.
1220, 1222 and 1224, on Spring Garden
street, which is one of the widest streets
in Philadelphia. The building will back
on Nectarine street, and the rear will
afford ample facilities for heavy freight
shipments. The site is only five min-
utes’ distance from the Pennsylvania
and Reading railroad terminals.

The building will be of the latest
form of reinforced concrete construc-
tion, and will consist of five stories and
a basement. There will be excellent
light from all four sides. The building
will be equipped with all the latest im-
provements for an up-to-date florists’
supply business. The first floor will
contain the office, show rooms, packing
and shipping departments. The base-
ment will be used for bulky stock. The

second floor will contain additional show
rooms and stock rooms. The third floor
will be devoted to stock. The fourth
and fifth floors will be used exclusively
for manufacturing, comprising the de-
partments of basket making, wreath
making, pan making, sheaf making,
painting, dyeing, ete.

It will be a modern building in every
respect and the facilities thus afforded
the M. Rice Co. will enable the com-
pany to materially increase its line and
handle its fast growing business to bet-
ter advantage than ever before.

The Florists’ Review

JANUARY 13, 1916.

CAN THE VIOLET COME BACK?

A paragraph in The Review for De-
cember 30, asking ‘‘What can be done
to restore the violet to its old-time
popularity as a corsage flower?’’.strikes
a sympathetic chord in my mind and,
while I do not think it possible to sug-
gest an infallible method whereby this
restoration could be accomplished, I
shall at least give my views and shall
be eager to hear others on the subject.

Having been associated with the
violet-growing business for upwards of
fifteen years, it was my privilege to
see the prosperous times resulting from
the high prices these flowers brought
when they were at the crest of their
popularity, as well as the results of
their gradual and steady decline in
favor and price. Naturally I felt in-
terested in the reasons for this and
gave the situation some thought and
study. My investigations resulted in
placing the blame, not on the violet,

ut dividing it pretty evenly between

the grower and the men who handle the
flowers after they reach the market:
The grower who, in his effort to pro-
duce quantity, sacrifices the quality
of his flowers and the market man who
disposes of the inferior or stale bunches
to street venders, thus placing the vio-
let, an aristocrat by nature, on a low
commercial plane.

Violets appeal more especially to peo-
ple of the better class and a fine bunch
of these blooms nestling among mi-

lady’s laces and furs, as she takes her
afternoon drive or promenade, adds a
note to the ensemble of her costume
that no other flower could, or ever will,
quite equal. But when she happens to
meet her waitress or maid on the street
with a bunch of violets, purchased from
Tony-on-the-corner for 10 cents, it
makes her think twice before pinning
on her own 3-dollar bunch the next time
she starts out.

So, for this reason I think, the violet
corsage gradually became a thing of
the past; now it is unusual to see any
woman wearing them. But I firmly be-
lieve that if the violet was standard-
ized, only the best blooms shipped to
market, and these, bunched in the most
approved way, were given every care
necessary to preserve them until they
reached the consumer, the old-time
prices *would come back and stay as
long as these conditions continued.

Keep the standard of any flower high
and the prices will take care of them-
selves. This should be particularly true
of the violet. H. G. McCallum.

BLAMES LACK OF FRAGRANCE.
In the editorial notes in The Review
of December 30, 1915, there were the
following questions: ‘‘What can be
done to restore the violet to its old-
time popularity as a corsage flower?
Will someone suggest a method?’’
From the point of view of one in
this part of the world, the state of
Washington, the reason for the loss of
the popularity of the violet is not hard
to find. When local violets were pro-
curable, they were sold at a price that
brought some remuneration to the
grower until the imported ones brought
such low prices that it was not possi-
ble to compete with them. For a time
women were seen wearing huge bunches
of violets on the street, but the violets
always were lacking in their essential
quality, that is, the fragrance; and,
gradually, it dawned on the better
stamp of flower buyers that violets
were cheap and common. The women
ceased to wear them. The violet at
one time was considered a modest

Ladysmith, the Mum, and Lady Loucks, the Lassie.

flower, but when bunches of them the
same size and aroma of a cauliflower
constituted the corsage of our sisters,
cousins and aunts, the qualification
could hardly be said to be accurate.
The soil and climate in Washington
are admirably adapted to the cultiva-
tion of the violet and, barring cheap
foreign labor, they can be grown and
sold here profitably. If retailers would
insist upon not selling and buying
scentless violets, and put up moderate-
sized bouquets, the violet would soon
resume its old-time popularity as one
of the finest and best corsage flowers.

BUSINESS EMBARRASSMENTS.

Dansville, N. Y.—A voluntary peti-
tion in bankruptcy was filed January 3
by G. Walter Williams individually and
as surviving partner of the firm of
Denton, Williams & Denton. He lists
his liabilities at $17,338.29 and his as-
sets at $34,948.88, of which about $25,-
000 is stock in trade.

ruptcy, has called the first meeting of
the creditors for January 18, at the
Federal court room.

LOUCKS’ ‘‘TWO PRIZE PLANTS.’’

Whenever a grower produces a plant
or flower of unusual size he usually
photographs the achievement, in order
to have a pictorial record of it. Not
infrequently the photographer will in-
clude his daughter, his son or himself
in the picture, thinking that one may
as well show two growing things as
one. In the illustration on this page
the reader is introduced to the ‘‘two
prize-winners’’ of W. E. Loucks, of
Sapulpa, Okla. The one is a single
chrysanthemum plant, Ladysmith; the
other is Mr. Loucks’ daughter. Little
Miss Loucks is the apple of her
father’s eye, and the close observer
will admit that she certainly is some
apple dumpling. In his letter Mr.
Loucks states that the mum plant ‘‘is
a single pink of the Totty-Hill collec-
tion, is one year old and has produced
as many as 3,487 blooms. The plant
wintered outdoors and last season made
a growth six feet in diameter and five
feet in height. The other ‘plant’ is
my 24-year-old daughter, who recently
took first prize in our healthy baby
contest.’? Apparently Mr. Loucks’
long suit is prize stock.

Chicago, died at his home, 801 Sheridan
road, January 6, at the age of 57.

Mr. Halle was a native of Denmark,
but came to this country when 25 years
old and soon after entered the retail
florists’ business in Chicago, buying the
old Klimmer place at old number 548
West Madison street. Here he became
the leading florist of the west side, and
one of the leading florists of Chicago.
Several of the most prominent retailers
of today worked at one time or other in
his establishment. He remained in this
location until late in 1907, when he re-
moved to 3900 North Clarendon avenue.
This location proving unsatisfactory,
he soon moved to 801 Sheridan road,
where he remained until his death.

Mr. Halle was a member of the Ma-
sonic order, Garfield lodge, and the
Oriental Consistory. He is survived by
his wife, Anna, who will make her home
in the future with her brother-in-law,
H. N. Bruns. Funeral services were
held in the home of Mr. Bruns, 3023
Warren avenue, January 9, at 2 p. m.,
the Reverend Bailey, of the Oak Park
Lutheran church, officiating. There was
later a Masonic service at Graceland
chapel.

The store will be sold, Mrs. Halle
not feeling able to continue it, al-
though she has had an active part in
the business for many years.

Charles Federle.

Charles Federle, of Hamilton, O., died
unexpectedly January 2 at his home on
the Mount Pleasant pike, near St.
Mary’s cemetery. Mr. Federle had not
complained of being ill until about 4
o’clock in the afternoon, when he re-
turned to the house from an inspection
of his greenhouses. His condition
alarmed his family and a physician was
called, but death had marked him for
its own and at 6 o’clock he passed
away. Mr. Federle was 56 years of age.
He is survived by his wife and four
eee Catheryn, Jennie, Joseph and

arl.

Charles W. Smith.

Charles W. Smith, for more than
thirty-three years secretary of the
Rhode Island Horticultgral Society and
for more than a qua of a century
prominently active in _ horticultural
affairs of New England, died at the
home of his son, 389 Angell street,
Providence, R. I., Thursday afternoon,
January 6. He was 86 years of age.

W.-M.

Charles Ottinger.

Charles Ottinger, a young man about
19 years of age, and an employee of
the Pittsburgh Cut Flower Co., of
Pittsburgh, Pa., was drowned January
9, while skating over thin ice on a
lake near the city.

TENNESSEE FLORISTS TO MEET.

The meeting of the Tennessee State
Florists’ Association will be held at
Nashville January 24. An elaborate
program is being arranged and a large
attendance is expected.

INDIANA FLORISTS MEET.

Officers Elected.

At the annual meeting of the State
Florists’ Association of Indiana, held
at Indianapolis January 11, the follow-
ing officers were elected: ,

President—W. J. Vesey, Jr., of Fort
Wayne, reélected.

Vice-president—Irwin Bertermann, of
Indianapolis.

Second vice-president — Theodore
Dorner, of Lafayette.

Secretary—O. E. Steinkamp, of In-
dianapolis, reélected.

Treasurer—Homer L. Wiegand, of
Indianapolis, reélected.

There were about sixty members pres-
ent, a majority, of course, being resi-
dents of Indianapolis.

The brief business meeting was fol-
lowed by a dinner at the Commercial
Club, after which the party, which me
been joined by a number of the loca
ladies, adjourned to Keith’s theater,
where 100 seats had been engaged.

The Trophies.

The feature of the meeting was the
contest for the association’s trophies,
which are held only from year to year
by the winners.

The rose trophy was won by W.
Frank & Sons, of Portland, Ind., who
showed a vase of stock that deserves to
be ranked with the best ever staged
before the association.

The carnation trophy again was won
by Baur & Steinkamp, their flowers
showing extremely fine finish. Berter-
mann Bros. Co., the E. G. Hill Co.,
Hartje & Elder and Stuart & Haugh all
staged fine exhibits in this class.

Miscellaneous Exhibits.

A vase of the light pink rose, Mrs.
Bayard Thayer, a sport of Russell
shown by the Waban Rose Conserva-
tories, of Natick, Mass., attracted much
attention. This rose is a pink of the
Bridesmaid type.

The E. G. Hill Co. showed a basket
of the yellow rose, Tipperary, a vase of

fine Ophelia, a vase of Russell, a vase
of the small rose, Tip Top, and one of
Hoosier Beauty, all of which were fine
stock.

A vase of the rose, Prima Donna, was
shown by Guttman & Raynor, Inc., New
York.

A vase of Carnation Aviator, grown
by the J. D. Thompson Carnation Co.,
Joliet, Ill., was shown.

A vase of the red seedling carna-
tion grown by John Eitel, Greencastle,

- Ind., was shown, and a vase of mixed

carnations, from Stuart & Haugh, which
were good stock.

There was a nice vase of mixed car-
nations from W. A. Bitler, Kokomo,
and also primroses in pots.

Bertermann Bros. Co. exhibited a col-
lection of blooming plants, which
showed the fine quality of their stock.

Frank Morris, of Bloomington, ex-
hibited a geranium sport, Beauty of
Poitevine, which looks good.

The Roepke Floral Co. had two fine
pots of cyclamen.

Good primroses came from F. H.
Lemon & Co., of Richmond.

Baur & Steinkamp showed a fine vase
of mixed carnations, which spoke well
for the ability of the growers.

F. Dorner & Sons Co. exhibited Car-
nation Nancy, which is being dissemi-
nated this year. This variety is a
bright salmon pink, a little darker than
Pink Delight and of a more even color.
The variety is of quick, productive
growth and the fragrance is penetrat-
ing. Old Gold, yellow with crimson
stripes, and Rosalia, a dark pink, were
also exhibited by the Dorners. These °
varieties are to be disseminated next
year. Seedling No. 125, salmon pink, a .
seedling of Pink Delight, was shown.
The blooms are exceptionally large,
averaging four inches and over. Seed-
ling No. 148, salmon pink, is a fine
flower. Seedling No. 113 is a good
crimson. Seedling No. 8, variegated,
white with scarlet stripes, is claimed to
be a much freer variety than Benora.

The cut flower exhibits were made
into bouquets and passed over the foot-
lights at the theater party. H. L. W.

ton, Tex.; secretary, John Young, 53 W. 28th

Thirty-second annual convention,

RESULTS.
We give them. You get them.
We both have them.

WHEN somebody sprinkles your path
with soft soap, get ready for a fall.

AFTER the boom the flower business has
enjoyed the last three months it will be
nothing more than natural if there is
some reaction.

THE man who has competent assistants
will do well to hang on to them during
the remaining weeks of winter. Capable
help will be scarce this spring.

He is a foolish florist who tries to
compete on price. Compete on quality
and service. There are plenty of people
who are ready to pay for the best.

THE way to build a business is to grow
quality stock and charge what the qual-
ity is worth. It is a true saying that
«*Quality is remembered long after price
is forgotten.’

From present indications the spring
season of 1916 will be a record-breaker
for this trade. But don’t crowd the
greenhouses so badly as to impair the
quality of your stock.

Arter the fine Christmas and New
Year’s business, January 20 will be a
fine settlement day for overdue accounts.
Take a look at your ledger today and
make plans for getting your money in.

Scarcity of cut flowers and the ac-
companying we prices are not for the
best interests of the flower business. They
are likely to be followed by a glut and
unusually low prices because a lot of buy-
ers have got out of the habit during the
time flowers were too expensive for them.

HONORABLE a

Not a few subscribers Save ther
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:

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 are sent.

“IT’S THEIR LOOKOUT.’’

Two men named Flynn and Friedman
are soliciting subscriptions north of Chi-
cago, calling their paper ‘‘ The Review. ’’
Certain cases have come to light in
which florists have paid money to these
men under the impression they were
subseribing to the Florists’ Review,
only to discover after the canvassers
were gone that the receipts given stated
they had subscribed to the Farmers’
Review. The Farmers’ Review, whose
circulation manager’s name is Ellen-
baum, acknowledges the men are its
representatives, but says ‘‘the receipt
is plain and it’s the subseriber’s own
lookout.’? Happily, most publishers
take a quite opposite view of their
subscribers’ welfare.

Florists are asked to remember, and
to tell friends in the trade, if there are
any non-subscribers among them, that
the representatives of the Florists’ Re-
view all are well known members of
the trade; that no traveling solicitors
are employed, for the simple reason
that it is not necessary to canvass to
maintain this paper’s circulation, and
that no money should be paid to stran-
gers for its account.

Nearly every time a florist gets
caught on a subscription deal he is
offered a premium—a gift—if he will
subscribe. The Florists’ Review never
gives premiums and the offer of one
with this paper is a plain sign that
something is wrong.

PROSPERITY ABOVE NORMAL.

General prosperity for the people of
America means individual prosperity
for the florists who read The Review,
so it is important to note that ‘‘ prosper-
ity reigns in all lines of industry in all
parts of the country,’’ according to the
bulletin issued last week by the board
of the Federal Reserve Bank. ‘‘ Particu-
lar gains have been made during the
last few months in the railroad and
lumber industries,’’ according to the
report, ‘‘as well as in the retail lines
of all general supply businesses, par-
ticularly dry goods.’’

‘‘Another feature of the situation
which is prevalent throughout the coun-
try,’’ according to the bulletin, ‘‘is an
increasing demand for money for in-
vestment in business enterprises of all
kinds, particularly manufacturing, mer-
chandising and farming.’’

‘*In addition, there is increasing evi-
dence,’’ says the bulletin, ‘‘that the
railroads are about to enter on a great
period of purchasing for the improve-

JANUARY 13; 1916.

ment of their equipment as well as for
its dncrease.’’

‘*Conditions in the central west are
particularly good, according to the re-
ports from the Chicago, St. Louis,
Cleveland, Kansas City and Minneap-
olis reserve banks. Manufacturers,
wholesale houses and retail stores,’’ the
report says of the Chicago district, ‘‘ are
doing business on an even more than
normal basis.’’

‘‘IN TIME OF PEACE.”’

Preparedness—unlovely word—is on
everybody’s tongue these days, so what
more natural than that a florist should
use it to express his failure to ac-
curately estimate the pulling power of
an ad in The Review? Here is what he
says:

The first mail following the publication of the
ad in The Review brought more orders than I can
take care of and I am wondering what is going
to happen to me the rest of the week, and the
week after. I hate to admit my lack of pre-

paredness. Next time I shall have more stock.—
H. J. Potomkin, Muncie, Ind., January 8, 1916.

FLOWER SHOW PUBLICITY.

Of course the big effort to secure at-
tendance at the National Flower Show
in Philadelphia is to be made. through
the local dailies, but the publicity,
under the direction of W. F. Therkild-
son, already is working. Quantities of
flower show stickers are being used and
many publications are taking note of
the preparations. In a day or two the
committee will be ready with an eight-
sheet poster for the billboard ad-
vertising that it expects to do. There
will be 830 of these posters in
the Philadelphia and New York dis-
tricts, together with 1,000 single sheet
posters 28x42. Many thousands of
window cards of two sizes will be dis-
tributed.

The committee hopes to get the mayor
to declare March 25 to April 2 Flower
Show Week. ‘‘We are anticipating a
line of publicity such as has never been
equaled before, and if the present plans
go through without a hitch we will
have some real publicity,’’ says Mr.
Therkildson.

CHICAGO.

The Market.

The Chicago market continues un-
qualifiedly short. Perhaps the best way
to arrive at a proper appreciation of
existing conditions is to compare them
with those of a year ago. To begin
with, demand was altogether erratic
then—brisk one day and dead the next.
This year the demand is unwaveringly
good. A year ago supply, too, was in-
constant, but none the less it was
overabundant for the demand. This
year the supply in practically all lines
is far short of requirements. All whole-
salers are filling orders short—most of
them are cutting them in two, and
many still decline to accept orders from
other than regular customers. Last
January prices ruled low, while now
the market is decidedly stiff.

Long-stemmed Beauties are an excep-
tion to the general rule of scarcity,
but that is due more to the high price
asked for them than to anything else.
Anything in the shape of a rose, other
than those of extra long stem, is at a
premium. So heavy is the funeral de-
mand that the question of color ceases
to rule, the only condition being that

fortnight, all right, but N. J. Wietor
predicts the situation will be still worse
during the next two weeks. Ordinar-
ily the last half of January sees the
shortest supply of the winter and Mr.
Wietor believes this year will be no
exception, taking the market as a
whole.

During the Christmas and New Year
holidays Weiss & Meyer Co., Maywood,
cut 60,000 Beauties, or practically two
flowers from each plant on the place.
The expectation is to get another crop
for Easter, but not much in between.
Paul Weiss, of this concern, is occu-
pying his leisure in driving a recently
acquired Moline-Knight ear.

There will be an excellent party from
Chicago at the St. Louis carnation
show. A. T. Pyfer will represent Pyfer
& Olsem and Pyfer & Co.

In a review of present conditions,
C. L. Washburn, of Bassett & Wash-
burn, called attention to the fact that
as a result of the warm fall, carnations
came in heavy crop for Thanksgiving

and roses for Christmas. Now both are
off crop and the cloudy weather has
helped to reduce the supply to subnor-
mal. As the same conditions obtain in
the country tributary to Chicago, all
out-of-town florists are sending their in-
creased wants to the Chicago market.
This is superimposed upon the normal
demand, together with a demand that is
gradually gathering strength in various
manufacturing centers where the peo-
ple are receiving more money and hence
are spending more. Result, an almost
unprecedentedly short market.

The day before Christmas H. C.
Wendland, of Wendland & Keimel Co.,
Elmhurst, received delivery on a new
7-passenger -50-horsepower Moline-
Knight car that since has been afford-
ing him much pleasure.

The market does not at all suit John
C. Michelsen, of the E. C. Amling Co.,
who believes the difficulty buyers meet
with in finding stock is laying up trou-
ble for the wholesalers when conditions
change so that there are more flowers

than buyers. Mr. Michelsen’s notion of
an ideal market is one in which every-
body’s needs can be met.

After a look in at some of the green-
houses north of town January 9, Felix
Reichling says a few warm, bright days
will relieve the scarcity of carnations,
but that it will be some little time be-
fore rose cuts increase.

The present market situation is great-
ly to the advantage of the producers
of green goods, according to Charles
Erne, of Erne & Klingel.

According to P. L. McKee, of the
American Greenhouse Mfg. Co., work
will be begun on the Cudahy green-
houses at Cudahy, Wis., about Janu-
ary 20. All post holes, which have
been dug, are covered with manure to
keep out the frost. Work on the Albert
F. Amling greenhouses at Maywood is
progressing rapidly. Seven half sec-
tions, 275 feet long, are now ready for
woodwork. Forty-five men are at work
on this place and almost 100 tons of
steel were set up last week. Mr. Me-

The catalogue of Winterson’s Seed

some fifteen days earlier than last year.

Notice has been reeeived by H. N.
Bruns of the arrival at New York of
a large shipment of valley pips. He
has been expecting them far several
weeks.

For two weeks the magnophone, an
instrument to assist the telephone oper-
ator page. individuals wanted on the
telephone, has been on trial by the
A. L. Randall Co. It has proved such
a success that its use is to be continued.

John Poehlmann, president: of the
Poehlmann Bros. Co., who was taken
to the north side German hospital Janu-
ary 6 and operated upon the day fol-
lowing, is doing remarkably well con-
sidering the severe shock to which his
system has been subjected. His condi-
tion, though quite serious, is not con-
sidered alarming.

Visitors on the wholesale market
January 11 were accorded most hos-
pitable entertainment in the establish-
ment of Zech & Mann, the occasion be-
ing the celebration of his twenty-first
birthday by Joe Erringer.

The wife: of Arthur Schutz, Ham-
mond, Ind., was operated on in Chicago
last week for chronic stomach trouble.
She is convalescing as rapidly as could
be expected. —

According to John Risch, of Weiland
& Risch, the firm will discard Killarney
and Killarney Brilliant this year. They
have already prepared to bench four-
teen houses with Champ Weiland.

The flower store at 1802 West
Eighteenth street, operated by F. J.
Triska, was closed this week. It is
reported that the high price of stock
had much to do with Mr. Triska’s leav-
ing the florists’ trade.

Another store has been opened by

feature of the transaction is that the

yearly rental of $6,500.

Spring work in the Morton Grove
greenhouses of the Poehlmann Bros.
Co. is progressing rapidly. Already
there are 250,000 carnation cuttings in
the sand. Akehurst, light pink, and
Alice, an Enchantress pink, will receive
considerably more bench space this
year. According to Tony Gabel, these
two varieties have proved among the

best producers. The space for Match-
less will be increased by two benches.

It is possible that high prices are a
bad thing for the trade, thinks Wil-

lieves the public is much the same with
flowers as a man is with his morning
paper. While the price is in reason,
a man will not feel right without his
favorite daily, but raise the price too
high and he will discontinue it. And
when he has been without it for a few
weeks, the habit has lost its force and
the man no longer misses his paper.
Mr. Amling believes the chances are

Business has quieted somewhat. The

BALTIMORE.

The Market.

Since the advent of the new year
business has been steady. The supply
of stock is, with a few exceptions,
about enough to meet demands, but
there is no surplus. While prices are
lower than those of the holiday sea-
son, they still are holding up well.
Carnations were a little shy during the
early part of the week, but larger
quantities arrived later; all carnations
sold well. The rose crop was plentiful
enough in the long and special grades,
which did not move any too well, but
medium and short stock for funeral
work was scarce. Violets have not
been selling any too well.

Valley is a scarcity even at a high
figure, with a good demand for all com-
ing in. Lilies sold well during the
week and the supply was fair. Cat-
tleyas were in fair demand and cypri-
pediums were hard to move at any
price. The plant trade continues to
hold up well and many good azaleas,
cyclamens and primulas are being sold.

Club Meeting.

The regular meeting of the Garden-
ers’ and Florists’ Club was held Jan-
uary 10, President Hamilton presiding.
The attendance was not so large as was
expected, but it was an interesting
meeting nevertheless. William G. Lehr
gave an interesting talk on the methods
of rose culture as applied by him, which
was followed by a discussion on the
same subject. Mr. Lehr was extended
the thanks of the club for his instruc-
tive talk.

The annual show came in for much
discussion and the following committee
was appointed to arrange a schedule for
the next show, copies of which will be
gotten out at an early date: Chairman,
William Feast; William J. Johnston,
William G. Lehr, Fred C. Bauer, George
Morrison, Mack Richmond. It was
deemed advisable to hold a spring show
at the club rooms, a matter which will

of good roses and orchids, but shorter
roses and carnations have been far
short of the demand. Paper Whites,
which have always been plentiful at
this season, are not in evidence. Every-
one seems to have dropped them this
year. Snapdragon and other small flow-
ers are not coming, so that the market
cleans every. morning at fair prices.
The retail stores are busy with funeral
work, as there has been a great increase
in the death rate; in fact, the average
is almost doubled. There has been a
fair quantity of decorations for social
affairs.
Various Notes.

The Florists’ Club met January 4, a
large number of the members being
present. Nomination of officers for the
ensuing year was the business of the
evening. Neil McCallum and Carl
Beckerer were nominated for president,
and H. P. Joslin and August Frishkorn
for secretary. There were exhibits of
primulas and mushrooms by the Sewick-
ley Heights gardeners. The only out-
side exhibit was the new rose, Mrs.
Bayard Thayer, from the Waban Rose
Conservatories. The box of Mrs. Thay-
er roses arrived in splendid condition
and was heartily received, the blooms
at once making a friend of everyone.
It is certainly a splendid flower, having
just the right shade of clear pink to
be used under any condition, splendid
stem and fine foliage. The flower has
form and body enough to insure its
being a good keeper and shipper, so if
it is a free bloomer, though I am not a
prophet, I can assure it a future. There
also was a splendid lecture, with pic-
tures, closing a pleasant evening.

Carnations and roses are much in de-

PHILADELPHIA.

The Market.

The market is easing a trifle after as
lively a fortnight as the bulls could wish
to see. It was’the more remarkable be-
cause the two weeks immediately fol-
lowing New Year’s are looked upon as
likely to be dull; nothing like what
we have seen was expected by anyone.
The easing is due to heavier receipts
of carnations; to a few more sweet

eas; to the coming of Golden Spurs to

join Trumpet Major; to the freesias.
The bears took prompt advantage by
using each and all of these facts to
lower prices, but so far the lowering
has been insignificant. A point on
carnations here and there and slight
concessions elsewhere, sum the result of
their efforts so far, because there is so
little stock in sight that to lower prices
much at this time would seem foolish.
The cold, hard fact remains that the
business has gone through an uncom-
monly bad period, and unless better
times bring better priees it will cease
to attract men whose efforts will raise
the standard of excellence.

While there is probably less funeral
work now than for some time past, short
roses continue in active demand at un-
usually high prices. Easter lilies, too,
have gone up above their usual winter

The Valley That Came.

Walter P. Stokes, sometimes styled
the Valley King of Philadelphia, ex-
plained how he secured so many pips
at this time of scarcity:

‘*When the British government de-
clared the embargo on German goods,
permitting only those to be exported
that had been ordered prior to March 1,
1915, I looked over my valley orders

to see whether any of them had been
placed before that date. I found that
one order for a large number of pips
had been given to the representative
of a Leipzig concern before March 1.
I carefully made out my statement, at-
tached to it a carbon copy of the order
and the original acknowledgment from
the grower in Germany, and sent them
to the State Department at Washing-
ton. I did not go in person as others
did, but simply trusted the papers to an
envelope and a 2-cent stamp.

‘¢In about a month a telegram came
from the State Department asking
whether I would guarantee cables to
England. I wired back, ‘Yes.’ In

about another month came another tele-
gram saying that the British govern-
ment had allowed my claim and that I
might have the goods forwarded. I
wrote to Leipzig at once, but it seemed
as though the British government had
forestalled me, for a few days after I
wrote the valley arrived. It had evi-
raat been packed in extreme haste,
but the quality appeared to be excellent
and I am looking forward to having a
good supply of valley for months to
come. I attribute my success in get-
ting the pips to the fact that I asked
only for the valley ordered before
March 1, which I was entitled to under
the ruling, and did not attempt to slip
in the order that I had given after
March 1.’’

Habermehls Surpass Themselves.

The first assembly ball was held on
the evening of January 7, in the hand-
some ballroom of the Bellevue-Stratford
hotel. For it, J. J. Habermehl’s Sons
arranged one of their charming decora-
tions, consisting of plants and flowers
and electric lights and shades and
tapestries, and arbors and curtains of
green, which have so often delighted
Philadelphians. The description given

in the Public Ledger of the following
morning was extremely good.

Various Notes.

Eugene Bernheimer is pleased with
the interest taken in Prima Donna by
rose growers. He says the variety is
looking remarkably well in the houses
of the Florex Gardens, at North Wales,
despite the heavy propagation for next
month’s delivery.

Clarence Alwine, of Aldan, Pa., is
erecting one greenhouse 40x200 feet,
which he hopes to have completed in
six weeks. Mr. Alwine is one of our
hardest workers, who deserves to suc-
ceed.

The annual poultry show of the
Henry F. Michell Co. took place at its
store January 11 to 13. It was lively
there during those three days; the crow-
ing was terrific.

Louis Goff, once a well known figure
in flower circles, made his reappear-
ance on the scene last week with J. J.
Habermehl’s Sons, at the Bellevue-
Stratford.

The Philadelphia Wholesale Florists’
Exchange sprung a surprise on the mar-
ket in the shape of a batch of chrysan-
themums, which were quickly taken.

Clarence W. Moore says that the pros-
pects are that good Spirea Gladstone
will bring a particularly good price at
Easter; many of the clumps heated in
transit were useless.

A prominent grower laments the fact
that when he had plenty of Paper
Whites last year, they went slowly at
$5 per thousand, whereas a few days
ago he saw a faker leave a leading
wholesale house empty-handed because
he declined to pay over $4 per hundred
for Paper Whites.

The information comes from the M.
Rice Co. that J. P. McCarthy, who has
been associated with Carbone’s, of Bos-
ton, for the last eight years and has
represented his line in most of the
largest cities of the United States, will
represent the House of Rice in New
England and the middle west territory.

ments and to an abundance of func-
tions, public and private, that have
caused continuous demand for decora-
tions.

The beginning of a retrograde move-
ment was evident January 8, when spe-
cial American Beauties fell to 50 cents
and under and the best carnations to
6 cents, while orchids continued abun-
dant and prices fell to even lower quo-
tations than the discouraging level of
a week ago. The rose supply of late
has not kept pace with the demand,
especially for the lower grades, and
prices for these have averaged from $4
to $6 per hundred. The selected stock
of the novelties has sold well at fair
prices, especially Hadley, Ophelia, Hoo-
sier Beauty, Prima Donna, Key, Killar-
ney Queen and Sunburst.

A good many carnations were sold
at $5 per hundred and under at the
close of last week, $6 being the ex-
treme value for the best Ward and
the novelties January 8. Cattleyas
of excellent quality could be had for
$40 per hundred or less. Gardenias are
in larger supply and prices are down to
$4 per dozen for excellent flowers, with
an occasional sale at $5. From this down
to $1 a dozen covers the several grades.
Longiflorums hold well at $10 per hun-
dred, some asking $12 January 8. A
few sold as low as $8 in large lots and
the shipments are increasing. Ru-
brums sold at $8 per hundred. The
best valley brings $4. The low grades
move slowly at $1 to $2. The supply
is quite sufficient. Violets are selling
at about half Christmas prices; 75
cents per hundred was top as last
week closed. They should touch $1
if the cold snap is not quickly broken.
The single varieties seem most popular.
Sweet peas are improving fast and
command good prices, especially the
Spencers. Paper Whites have sold well
and are abundant. Tulips -are here,
plenty of them; also callas, daisies, for-
get-me-nots, lilac, pansies, wallflowers
and stevia. Of spring flowers there is
a good assortment, including double-
flowering plum and forsythia.

Some splendid primulas and cycla-

mens in pots and pans adorn the whole-
salers’ windows.

the house committee provided an excel-
lent lunch.

Peter Beuerlein showed two Enchant-
ress sports that received cultural cer-
tificates. W. A. Manda was given the
club’s thanks for a dark pink seedling
of brilliant color. John Loppe dis-
played two grand vases of: Freesia

awarded cultural certificate. James
Duthie exhibited Primula malacoides in

New York and New Jersey Association
of Plant Growers will be held in the
Hotel McAlpin February 23. The next

Florida.

The monthly meeting of the directors
of the Growers’ Cut Flower Co. was

PRESIDENT WESTON’S ADDRESS.

[The following is the address of Henry Weston,
on the occasion of his taking office as president
of the New York Florists’ Club.]

In taking the chair as your presiding
officer for 1916, let me again express
my grateful appreciation of the honor
you have done me in electing me to
this high office, the duties of which it
shall be my endeavor to discharge in a
manner satisfactory to you, and in the
best interest of the club.

The work of our organization is well
and favorably known, not only through-
out our own country, but abroad. It is
known for the business-like features
which characterize its management, and
insure a continuous growth of its mem-
bership. It is known for the great har-
mony and good-fellowship which exist
within it, making its motto ‘‘ All one,’’
truly a descriptive one. And it is known
for the excellent work it has done and
is doing for the uplift of floriculture
and the welfare of all connected with
the art. It is an organization to which
all of us are proud to belong, and with
whose work we feel honored to be con-
nected.

The club’s work has been so well or-
ganized and conducted, so well thought
out, and opportunities for action so well
conceived, that little, if anything, can
be suggested at the present time as
likely to increase the usefulness of the
club, or to work out to our advantage.
Our greatest work at this time, of
course, is to be found in the prepara-
tions for our forthcoming spring flower
show in New York, and this work, I am
glad to say, is in most capable hands,
and the indications are that we shall
score another great success, thereby en-
hancing the reputation of our club
among our fellow workers the world
over.

Last year we invited the 8. A. F. to
hold its thirty-second annual convention
in our city this year, but, unfortunately,
prior claims made by the southern city
of Houston prevailed, and our invita-
tion failed of acceptance. The desira-
bility of making an effort to induce the
national society to hold its 1917 con-
vention here is a matter which should
early be discussed. I understand that
the society will at the Houston conven-
tion also decide upon the city in which
to hold its 1918 convention, in order that
more time may be available for the
establishment of the convention garden.
This being the case, our chance for se-
curing at least one of these conventions
should be good.

In appointing our standing commit-
tees for the year I have deemed it ad-
visable to return to the custom of the
years preceding last year as regards
the numerical strength of the commit-

FULL SUPPLY CUT FLOWERS AT ALL TIMES

We have entered upon a year which
it is fervently hoped will prove to be a
good one for our trade, and there is
every reason to believe that our hopes
may materialize. Indications of a con-
dition of prosperity among our great
industries are not wanting, and when
prosperity reigns the florists’ trade is
sufficiently active to insure good busi-
ness.

From the bottom of my heart I wish
you all a- most happy and prosperous
year, and I trust that at its close I shall
take into retirement with me a remem-
brance of your loyal and unstinted help
in the administration of the office you
have reposed in me, and the assurance
that we together have added another
to the many successful years of our
club’s existence.

GREENHOUSES VS. EXPLOSIVES.

While munitions of war may afford
splendid opportunities for get-rich-quick
speculators and incidentally provide in-
teresting material for pleasant after-
dinner discussions, it is a vastly differ-
ent matter to be forced to live and
operate greenhouses in close proximity
to three warehouses filled with high
explosives intended for European con-
sumption, especially when so much is
printed about the mischievous opera-
tions of bellicose ‘‘pros’’ and ‘‘antis’’
at McCarney’s Point, N. J., and Wil-
mington, Del., where recent powder
mill explosions resulted in heavy loss
_ of life and property. At any rate, the
citizens at Niles Center, Ill., particu-
larly the growers, who, of course, have
many feet of glass that could not be
expected to survive heavy explosions,
have combined in a war against a pow-
der company which has stored a large
quantity of high explosives and muni-
tions of war at Niles Center. An ex-
plosion, it is said, would endanger
greenhouses in the vicinity valued at
$1,000,000.

Last week legal proceedings were
threatened against the powder company
and the mayor of Niles Center ordered
the railroad to remove a carload of high
explosives standing within the village
limits. At a mass meeting the town’s
justice made a fiery speech in which he
said that the warehouses should be
torn down and described the situation
as being so critical that bloodshed might

D. S. CRUM & CO.,

The florists and growers at Niles
Center, assisted by those at Morton
Grove and Tessville, nearby towns, have
been instrumental in drawing up an
ordinance founded on an Illinois statute
that forbids the ‘‘keeping, giving away,
or selling’’ of explosives within half a
mile of a town without the consent of
the town’s authorities. The board de-
mands that the powder company de-
stroy at once the buildings already con-
structed and give assurances that no
other buildings will be erected to re-
place them. It was pointed out that
the company had been forbidden to
build in Wisconsin and had chosen Niles
Center as a good site.

Among the growers and florists in the
danger zone at Niles Center are the
following: Christ Blameuser, Adam
Harrer, Albert Lies, Jacob Meyer,
Charles Schweigert, F. Stielow, John
Betz, William Kutz, Ludwig Schmitt,
Heinz & Houpt, Cornelius Kellen, Emil
C. Blameuser, Edwin H. Blameuser,
John Blameuser, A. Furmana and sev-
eral others,

San Antonio, Tex.—William E. Hess
now is sole proprietor of the San An-
tonio Floral & Nursery Co., having
acquired all the interests in the busi-
ness.

Baraboo, Wis.—William Toole, Sr.,
Wisconsin’s veteran pansy grower, of
Wm. Toole & Sons, has written an in-
teresting semi-autobiographical sketch,
showing that he can wield the pen as
skillfully on occasion as he does the
gardener’s trowel. The article appears
in the orchard and garden department
of the Wisconsin Agriculturist for De-
cember 16. A part. of the article is
full of meaty hints in regard to Mr.
Toole’s specialty, pansy growing. An
excellent likeness of the author accom-
panies the contribution, which, it is
needless te say: to: those who know the
inborn modesty of the man, was
solicited.

The Market.

The new year started nicely and near-
ly everybody had a busy week. Many
receptions at the city hall January 1
and 3 resulted in orders for baskets,
horseshoes and bouquets. The demand
seemed even greater than that of last
year. The weather is gloomy most of
the time and flowers on the whole are
quite scarce, especially in the shorter
grades, but as soon as sunshine comes
flowers will be plentiful. There is
every evidence of large crops. The
demand for corsages was large last week
and prices ran fairly high. Besides this,
there was a large quantity of funeral
work. Stock in general was of good
quality and sold well. Prices are well
advanced, owing somewhat to the scar-
city of some kinds. Roses are good in
the better grades, but scarcely any-
thing can be obtained in short-stemmed
stock. The Francis Scott Key roses are
exceptionally good and sell easily. Rus-
sell, Shawyer, Ophelia and Sunburst
have been of good quality. Easter and
calla lilies are slowing up and few are
arriving on the market. The supply of
valley is not large but meets the de-
mand. Orchids and gardenias sold
splendidly last week for corsage work.
Violets are good and sell well. Freesia
has arrived and moves fairly well. Car-
nations are not at all plentiful; the
supply has been limited. Paper Whites,
mignonette and snapdragon come in

was noticed during the week.

Various Notes.

The nominating committee of the
Rochester Florists’ Association met at
the office of the Lord & Burnham Co.
January 7, W. T. Logan presiding. It
was unanimously agreed to run two
straight tickets for each office.

Charles H. Vick, of James Vick’s
Sons, is visiting Boston and Philadel-
phia in the interest of the seed trade.

Edwin C. Armbrust has given up his
store on East avenue and returned to
his former position with S. A. Ander-
son, of. Buffalo, with whom he was con-
nected for some time. He had a good
Christmas trade and enjoyed a large
patronage, but the transient trade was
poor in his location. Rather than move
to another location, he resumed his
former position at Buffalo January 11.

The grip has surely invaded this city;
Miss E. M. Foster, Miss Brown, Miss
Bishop, Charles Gow and Edward
Gleude were all ‘suffering from this
contagious disease last week.

E. J. Murphy, of N. FP. McCarthy &
Co., of Boston, Mass., called on the
trade last week.

Paul Campas reports business as be-
ing good. He expects to leave in a few
days for Canada, on a hunting trip of
two weeks’ duration.

H. E. Wilson is growing some excep-
tionally fine lavender and white hya-
cinths, which are disposed of readily.
Embellished with a handle and fancy
trimmings, he finds them splendid sub-
stitutes for funeral designs, and the
public is well pleased with such a large
showing at such a nominal cost.

Matthews the Florist

Established in 1883
Greenhouses and Nurseries in Riverdale.

Y., son of George Arnold, formerly
with James Vick’s Sons, has entered
into a partnership with J. G. Stettner,
of Spencerport. This gives him more
land, better adapted to the growing of
flower seeds than he has had heretofore.
The firm is specializing in growing the
varieties used by the florists, giving
special attention to the needs of the
local florists. Mr. Arnold has had val-
uable experience in the selection and
breeding work among annual flowers
and he is an enthusiastic believer in
stock improvement. Mr. Arnold has
started to work up a trade in perennial
seeds, as he feels there are good oppor-
tunities in this field. H. J. H.

KNOXVILLE, TENN.

Business was good last week, but the
supply of stock easily exceeded the de-
mand; much of it was consigned to
nearby markets.

The Knoxville Florists’ Society held
its annual midwinter banquet at the
Atkin hotel, January 10. A full at-
tendance was expected and several out-
of-town florists were invited.

The Tennessee State Florists’ Asso-
ciation will hold its annual meeting at
Nashville, January 24, at the Maxwell
House. The membership committee,
Karl P. Baum, Prof. Bentley, of Knox-
ville, and W. H. Lewis, of Nashville, is
doing everything in its power to have
all the florists and nurseries of the state
represented. The committee is much
pleased with results so far, and every-
thing seems to point toward a success-
ful meeting. Members of the society
congratulate C. L. Baum on his appoint-
ment as a director of the 8S. A. F,,
which, no doubt, will act as a stimula-
tion to the local and state societes.

A. J. McNutt suffered a heavy loss
from fire December 26, when a confla-
gration started in his section of the
city market house. The flames ruined
practically all of his store fixtures and
burned some of his Christmas bills,
which had been overlooked and left
out of the safe.

Friends of Mrs. McNutt regret to

Clayton.

ST. LOUIS.

The Market.

Business last week was up to ex-
pectations. The supply hardly equaled
the demand of the local retailers, and
the shipping orders had to stand aside.
Funeral work was exceedingly heavy.
Prices remained high. While carna-
tions were in somewhat better supply,
the demand cleaned the market daily.
Fancy stock is selling at $5 per hun-
dred. Roses seemed plentiful, but the
demand for them was strong and daily
clean-ups were reported. Prices re-
mained high on extra fancy stock. The
supply of sweet peas and violets is
small compared with that of former
years. A good supply of Paper Whites
is arriving and meets with a heavy de-
mand. Romans have made their ap-
pearance and choice stock sells at $4
per hundred. Valley, too, was in heavy
demand. The supply of calla and
Easter lilies equals the call. Greens
had a large demand, with bronze galax
and asparagus in the lead.

Various Notes.

The meeting of the St. Louis County
Growers’ Association was held Janu-
ary 5, at the Eleven Mile House. Vice-
president William Edwards conducted
the meeting and much important busi-
ness was disposed of. The coming
meeting of the American Carnation So-
ciety was fully discussed.

T. C. Wilson, president of the Mis-
souri State Horticultural Society, says
he expects the attendance at this
week’s meeting of the society to be
the largest in its history.

The grip seems to have a strong hold
on many in the trade, according to the
absentees reported. Some of the bosses,
too, have quite severe attacks, but
seem to be able to stick on the job.

The officers of the St. Louis Florists’
Club held a meeting at the home of
W. S. Wells, January 6. A program

for the January meeting of the club
was made. After the meeting the offi-
cers were entertained by Mr. and Mrs.
Wells.

E. W. Guy, of Belleville, Ill., was a
visitor here January 7. He reports
that Belleville florists were well pleased
with business done during the holidays.
His appointment as S. A. F. state vice-
president for southern Illinois greatly
pleased Mr. Guy.

The roses sent in by W. J. Pilcher,
Werner Bros. and A. 8. Cerny to the
W. C. Smith Wholesale Floral Co. are
of extra fine quality, especially Hadley,
Ophelia, Richmond and the Killarney
varieties. These have been selling at
top prices.

Pierre Schneider, of the Oakland
Floral Co., Oakland, Mo., is having his
usual success with carnations. The cut
is consigned to C. A. Kuehn, where
standing orders dispose of large daily
supplies.

Joseph Hauser, of Webster Groves, is
cutting a fine lot of violets this season.
Mr. Hauser has an excellent novelty
in his new red dahlia, which he ex-
pects to put on the market this year.

Carl Beyer and August Hummert, on
the finance committee, were out daily
last week in the interest of the coming
meeting of the American Carnation So-
ciety. They report excellent success
for their efforts.

The Young Bros. Floral Co., on
Waterman avenue, of which John and
William Young are proprietors, reports
that the demand since the holidays has
kept up nicely. The show house is
again filled with fancy blooming plants.

Jabez Gadd, well known in florists’
circles, but now in other _ business,
called on the trade last week and re-
ported that he had handled 500 Christ-
mas trees this year at good prices.

Charles Young and Secretary Fred C.

efforts to have all members present at
this meeting, as matters of great im-
portance will be discussed.

Frank X. Gorly, of Grimm & Gorly,
has purchased property in the west end.
He is one of the hustlers on the banquet
committee for the meeting of the Car-
nation Society and Vincent Gorly, the
other member of the firm, is on the
decorative committee.

Henry Young & Son, on Maryland
avenue, report a splendid run of trade
since the holidays. A nice line of deco-
rative plants was seen in their con-
servatory.

William Seegar, head of the Mullan-
phy downtown store, says that business
has been remarkably good since the
opening of the new store at Eighth and
Locust streets. The window displays
at this store draw large crowds of
shoppers.

Oscar Ruff and Edwin Niebling, of

cause any decided recession in prices.
Roses are off crop with the majority of
growers and are quickly cleaned up at
high prices. American Beauties vary
in price from $5 to $60. There is not
a large supply of the fancy grades.
Red roses, such as Hadley, Richmond,
Francis Scott Key, Black Beauty and
Prince Sarena | are all in light sup-
ply and realize high prices. Ophelia
remains a leader in popularity; also
Russell, Shawyer, Sunburst and Mock.
Both Killarney and White Killarney
are eagerly snapped up. The demand
for funeral work has been heavy of
late, owing to an exceptionally heavy
death roll. Carnations have broken
somewhat in price, but growers remem-
bering conditions a year ago are well
pleased with returns. Cold weather al-
ways affects the sale of violets. Fancy
flowers make $1, but a good many now
go at 75 cents.

More bulbous flowers are now ap-
peering: including a good supply of

rench and Guernsey daffodils, Cam-
pernelle jonquils, tulips, freesias,
Roman hyacinths and Paper Whites.
Small lots of anemones and irises are
seen. Valley continues to sell well;
also, calla and longiflorum lilies. Fine
spikes of mignonette are coming in.
Snapdragons sell well. More white and
yellow are seen at present than pink.
More sweet peas are seen, but the
weather caused a heavy loss of buds.
Calendulas are somewhat too plentiful,
but pansies, yellow marguerites and
blue cornflowers all sell well.

Cattleyas have softened in price, the
best Triane now making $6 per dozen.
Gardenias are less abundant and the
cold weather has hurt their sale some-
what. Demand for ferns and asparagus
remains about the same. Among flow-
ering plants, ericas, azaleas, cyclamens
and begonias lead in favor. Some tulip
pans can be had, but the quality is not
yet of the best.

Various Notes.

The annual meeting of the Massa-
chusetts Horticultural Society was held
at Horticultural hall January 8. The
retiring president, J. K. M. L. Farquhar,
who retired after three years as chief
executive, introduced Richard M.
Saltonstall, who made an _ excellent
presidential address. He spoke of the
suggested internal reconstruction of
Horticultural hall. Three noted archi-
tects had furnished estimates of the
probable cost, which would be from
$150,000 to $200,000. The directors,
having considered the matter most care-
fully, did not feel that the society
should go to this expense. The land
values where the present building stands
have greatly increased of late years,
and it would be a better policy to wait
a few years and build a new hall
which would fill the needs of the so-
ciety, on another site. Mr. Saltonstall
advocated greater efforts to increase
the membership, which now is 930. He
thought the aim should be to add 100
new members a year. For the big show
to be held in May, 1916, special prizes
amounting to over $1,500 had already
been promised, additional to the sum of
about $4,000 on the schedules issued.
The receipts from the two pay shows
of the society in 1915 showed net re-
ceipts nearly $2,000 larger than those
of 1914. The business report showed
that receipts and expenditures prac-
tically balanced. The reports of the
various committees were read and ac-
cepted and some discussion arose over
the best plan to adopt to attract
larger annual meetings.

H. H. Rogers, of South Sudbury, one
of our large carnation specialists, has a
splendid looking lot of plants this sea-

James Wheeler’s large carnation
house, at Natick, had a severe shaking
in the great gale of December 26. He
has called in the Lord & Burnham Co.,
who were not the builders of his house,
to so strengthen it that further trou-
ble will be improbable, and this work
is now well advanced. His yellow
marguerites are looking well and he al-
ready has a good cut from them. In
carnations his leaders are Pink De-
light, Matchless, Alice, Beacon and
Benora. The latter proves to be a won-
derful producer.

N. F. Comley, of Burlington, is cut-
ting a fine lot of high-grade Spencer

planned to ask for the 1917 convention,
will withdraw its claim in favor of In-
dianapolis, but probably will make a
strong bid for the 1918 convention.
Among Mr. Goddard’s* carnations some
carried-over plants of Gloriosa are giv-
ing grand flowers. Pink Sensation and
Good Cheer are each doing well, while
Matchless, Rosette, Pink Delight,
Beacon and Benora are his other
leaders.

Edward Winkler, of Wakefield, is
now cutting heavily of his new carna-
tion, Morning Glow, and the flowers are
all quickly snapped up.

William Sim, of Cliftondale, is one
of our most wide-awake growers and
invariably has something new up his
sleeve. This season he has made a
great hit with mignonette. His pansies
are as fine as ever. Violets look well,
but, as with other growers, the pick is
not yet as he would like. He will have
sweet peas in quantity next month.

Paul F. Brigham, of Westboro, is
sending in some fine sweet peas to
H. T. Capers. His great specialty is

carnations. Of these he grows quite a
variety, but finds Alice, Eureka, Match-
less, Pink Delight, Beacon and Benora
the best.

Robert Montgomery recently acquired
a new delivery car. His roses never
looked better and the quality is such
that they are all cleaned up early each
morning.

Edwin Jenkins, of Lenox, will lec-
ture at Horticultural hall, January 15,
on ‘‘ Vegetables for the Home Garden
and Exhibition Purposes.’’ Mr. Jenkins
is a noted grower of vegetables and,
being an interesting speaker, will un-
doubtedly have a large audience. There
was a large attendance at E, H.

The Florists’ Review |

January 13, 1916.

BASAS*

. QA

VEY

Los Angeles, Cal—The K. & M. Pot-
tery Co. has purchased a half-acre site
near Fifty-second and Santa Fe ave-
nues, and is building kilns for the
manufacture of flower pots.

Marshfield, Ore-—Edwin G. Scott, do-
ing business under the name of the
Marshfield Florist Co., is the successor
to the Drew Floral Co, having recently
acquired the greenhouses and store.
Mr. Scott formerly was part owner of
a florists’ business at Moscow, Idaho.

A HAYASHI HOUSE.

Hayashi & Co., of Elmhurst, Cal.,
are among the progressive growers for
the San Francisco market. Their
houses are of the best eastern type of
construction and they seek to compete
with the other establishments in their
section on the basis of quality rather
than price. The accompanying illustra-
tion shows one of: their houses of poin-
settias when ready for market this sea-
son.

LOS ANGELES.

The Market.

An abundance of funeral work, turned
what would have been a quiet week
into a fairly good one—the first week
of the new year. Had it not been for
this—the weather having spoiled much
of the transient trade—there wotld
have been mighty little doing after the
rush of getting out the plants for the
Pasadena tournament of roses on New
Year’s day. Plant trade fell absolutely
flat after the holidays, which was all
the more unfortunate because of the
fine stock on hand. Although a good
deal of stock is sold for the decoration
of the various floats for the above-men-
tioned festival, there is usually little
profit in it for the retailer, as the dis-
position among the managers seems to
be to buy from growers direct. The
day proved dull and rainy, but this did
not daunt the thousands of sightseers
who make their annual pilgrimage to
the Crown city the first of every year.

Later in the week brighter weather
appeared and business picked up in
plants and cut flowers. Among the
scarce items were good roses and red
carnations. There was plenty of the
lighter colors in the latter and quite
enough short roses. Violets are plenti-
ful and help to offset the shortage in
Cecile Brunner roses, which have become
a staple in this market. Bulbous stock
is coming in somewhat slowly owing to
the cool weather, but the spikes of Nar-
cissus Tazetta are magnificent for the
time of year. Paper Whites are be-
coming a feature and a few yellows are
seen. Valley is still an uncertain item,
difficult to get one day and overplenti-
ful the next. The absence of Roman
hyacinths has been marked this year.
Cut cyclamens help out with the scar-
city of roses; also, incidentally, with
the growers who were long on plants
for the holidays, for the cut flowers
bring often as much as the plants.
Heavy, well flowered rhododendrons
which failed to make the holiday mar-
ket are selling freely now. Large

ferns have, keen good property all
through and even now are selling
freely. Greens of all kinds are plenti-
ful and of fine quality, especially As-
paragus plumosus. Nursery sales are
picking up since the rain and will un-
doubtedly improve from now on.

Various Notes.

The sympathy of many friends is ex-
tended to George Watson, who has re-
ceived news of the death of his mother
in London, England, at the age of 74.

At the January meeting of the Los
Angeles County Horticultural Society,
W. W. Felgate took the chair in the
absence of H. R. Richards, the retiring

president. The subject for the meeting
was ‘‘Roses,’’ by Henry W. Turner,
who handled his subject in an able
manner. His temarks were, as may be
expected, concise and much to the
point, and created great interest among
those present. The attendance was
good and the election of officers re-
sulted as follows: President, W. W.
Felgate, of Sierra Madre; vice-presi-
dent, James Taylor, of Hollywood;
treasurer, James McGilvray, of Los
Angeles; secretary, Hal Kruckeberg.

rhododendrons offered by this company
are somewhat of a novelty at this time
of the year.

Wright’s Flower Shop reports bigger
business and better stock than at any
previous time in the history of the es-
tablishment. (Large consignments of
orchids arrive at the store daily from
the Gardena greenhouses, phalenopsis
being particularly good. These are
largely used for corsage bouquets.

E. Hunt, of Ramona Acres, hopes to
have his new greenhouses ready for
planting to roses this spring. He in-
tends to grow cut flowers of these and
carnations.

The Market.

A glance back at the -year 1915 re-
veals the following features: The flower
stores handled more stock than during
any previous year. The number of
sales was the greatest ever. There was
a tharked falling off in the demand for
high-class stock and an increase in the
demand for lower-priced goods. The
total sales equaled in value those? of?
any former year except possibly 1911.

The result is that the stores were unus-
ually busy, taking care of a multitude
of orders of a lower cash value, and the
net profits did not show as high a per
cent on gross sales as those for some
of the former years.

Nurserymen and seedsmen have had
a satisfactory fall—better than that
of 1914—and they all seem _ pleased
with the outlook for spring business.
The growers have had no waste and,
while the prices obtained on stock were
lower. than those of other.years, they
have done fairly well. All hands take
an optimistic view of the future.

Various Notes.

The Portland Floral Society will hold
its meeting January 18, at the Masonic
Temple. The plan for the floral center
at the rose festival will be shown and
all who wish to put in an exhibit should
be on hand to select their locations.

Several changes have been made by
the officers of the Swiss Floral Co. since
its leasing of the Burkhardt business.
Charles Welty has taken personal
charge and has moved his family to
the premises at Twenty-third and Glisan
streets. J. J. Bacher, who lived in the
residence adjoining the range at East
Seventh and Hancock streets, has
moved his family into the residence left

vacant by Mr. Welty, and has trans-’

formed the lower rooms of his old resi-
dence into an addition to his office
space. Mr. Bacher takes personal charge
of the east side range, where much
of the stock offered at the west side
store is grown. Considerable bedding
stock is being prepared for spring trade.
Mr. Bacher exhibited some good spe-
cimens of an imported pink poinsettia,
the only ones seen in Portland.

C. R. Langstaff, whose disappearance
was announced in last week’s issue of
The Review, has not returned and the
flower store which he opened under the
name of Henry Clemens, Florist, a cor-
poration, was closed, and the stock sold
under attachment. It is reported that
Mr. Langstaff left other debts than
those resulting from the florists’ busi-
ness and that his family, consisting of
a wife and child of 5 years, are with-
out means of support. Beyond allow-
ing the use of his name, Henry Clem-
ens had nothing to do with this com-
pany.

Clarke Bros. had the first display of
potted tulips last week.

Blooms from plants of Primula mala-
coides, both white and pale lavender,
are found useful and durable in all

SAN FRANCISCO.

The Market.

The year opened with a heavy wind
and rain storm, followed by rather se-
vere weather; the cut of violets, bulb-
ous stock, etc., has been greatly re-
tarded. There are enough violets for
the local trade, but it is hard to get
enough good shipping stock. Some fine
freesias appeared a few days ago, but
the cut now is short, and Paper Whites
and Chinese lilies are scarce, the latter
bringing unusually high prices. An-
other fortnight, with passable weather,
will bring plenty of all such stock.
Callas in many places were frozen
down. Carnations came through bet-
ter than was expected. There is no
real shortage of trashy stock, but the
market cleans up readily and anything
extra fine will bring 75 cents or even
$1 per bunch. Retail business at pres-
ent consists mostly of funeral work,
which absorbs a good deal of the
cheaper stock. Roses are given more
prominence since mums went out, but
they also are off crop with many of
the growers, and good values are real-
ized for most offerings. Beauties are
somewhat easier, especially short stock,
which is plentiful. Ophelia, Ward and
Sunburst sell freely, and Killarney does
unusually well. Baby roses are in

cleaned up and the supply of primulas
is light. Small poinsettias are going
rapidly, the large ones being already
sold out. Small heather is quite popu-
lar, and azaleas, still in fair supply,
move well for the midwinter season.
Potted ferns of all sizes do well.

Various Notes.

While the azaleas imported for the
holidays arrived rather late on the Pa-
cific coast, everything received by the
San Francisco buyers was accepted and
disposed of. More time was required,
however, to get the stock to Los An-
geles by rail. A local warehouse con-
cern is now holding, on behalf of east-
ern brokers, shipments of Belgian stock
amounting to over 1,000 plants, which
were rejected by the consignees in the
south and sent to San Francisco. They
reached here in rather poor shape and
several nurserymen who have been
asked to bid on them have declined. It
appears as if the plants are-not wanted
by anybody in this immediate vicinity,
though it may be possible to find a
buyer in some other part of the state.

The MacRorie-McLaren Co. is cut-
ting many orchids, which, with other
flowers scarce, are in good demand.

Joseph Proietti, of San Lorenzo, has
a good-sized crop of daffodils and other
early bulbous stock due in a couple of
weeks, and has arranged to bring in
stock from several other growers in his
vicinity. He will handle the stock in
the E. W. McLellan Co. quarters.

F. Burns, of San Rafael, has been
selling many dahlia tubers from last
year’s planting and reports a lively
business at retail. Most of his Delice
and Geisha dahlias have been sold.

A meeting of the creditors of the
Luther Burbank Co. was held January
3, when it was decided to appoint a
committee of five to work out a reor-
ganization plan.

that some of the stock will fully hold

its own beside the European valley.
The sweet pea show, to be held under

the auspices of the American Sweet
. Pea Society, now is assured for next

une,'and an attractive lot of prizes
have been offered, the list being now
practically complete. Frank G. Cuth-
bertson, with C. C. Morse & Co., who is
attending to the local arrangements, is
looking for a suitable location.

On opening a temporary plant and
flower store on F street, between Fifth
and Sixth, Eureka, H. F. Perkins, vice-
president of the Cottage Gardens Nurs-
eries, announced that after C. W.
Ward’s return to Eureka arrangements
would be made to open a permanent
downtown store, which would be the
finest flower shop in the state north
of San Francisco. '

C. C. Morse & Co. have sent out their
new 1916 catalogue, thé mailing list
amounting to 65,000. The catalogue
contains 128 pages, well illustrated,
and is considered the best they have
ever issued. The back cover design
shows a large colored print of the giant
snapdragons from their bed at the ex-
position, together with a small view
of the company’s gardens at the ex-
position. H. 8. G.

SEATTLE, WASH.
The Market.

It is a long time since there has been
such a small quantity of cut flowers on
the market as at present. Afi ygrie-
ties are exceedingly scarce and, as
usual when this occurs, seldom as it
does, the demand is above the average.
The weather during last week was ex-
ceedingly severe, with more snow than
we have seen for a number of years,
and, as a consequence, local flowers
are few in number and the supply from
outside points is limited. There still
are a few poinsettias on the market
and, while’ not bringing good prices,
they tend to enliven the appearance
of the stores. Bulbous stock is arriv-
ing in larger quantities, but it does not
go far in offsetting the general scarcity
of stock. The available supply of pot
plants was well depleted by the Christ-
mas trade, so that there will not be
more than the market will require for
the next few weeks. Several growers
have no carnations in their houses,
which condition is attributed to the
por prices on carnations during the
ast few years. At times like these,
the stores scarcely feel the loss of this
source of supply. T.. W,

CARRYING OVER CYCLAMENS.

Can cyclamen tubers be carried

Can I get another season’s bloom out
of them, or are they worthless?

H. H.—TIll.

Cyclamens are not infrequently car-
ried over. I doubt, however, if. it
would pay you to do so. It will be
far better to sow seed next August.
The seedlings will give you more sat-
isfaction than any carried-over stock.
On private estates, where large speci-
men plants are wanted, plants are
often carried over and flowered in
large pots. Cc. W.

THE early catalogues, sent into the
south, are pulling well, the mails of
early January being as heavy as ever
before.

Mace & MAnsFIELD, seedsmen, of
Greenville, O., have sold their good will
and business to McCartney Bros., who
took possession January 1.

Burnett LANDRETH, of D. Landreth
Seed Co., Bristol, Pa., secretary of the
Wholesale Seedsmen’s League, has gone
to Cuba for a winter vacation.

Epwin N. CrumBaueu, president of
the Crumbaugh-Kuehn Co., seed brokers
of Toledo, O., died December 29, after a
long illness. He was 52 years of age.

KNuD GUNDESTRUP, who recently re-
turned to Chicago after three years in
Europe, has opened a seed store at 4908
Milwaukee avenue, near his former loca-
tion.

Wittiam H. Bowker, of Boston,
widely known as a fertilizer and insecti.
cide manufacturer, died January 4. He
was the first graduate of the Massachu-
setts Agricultural College:

THE Page-Clark Seed & Nursery Co.,
of Billings, Mont., has been incorporated
with a capital stock of $100,000. The
trustees of the company are Hugh D.
Page, S. T. Clark and B. E. Upton.

BEcAUSE of the uncertainties of the
“season, many of the smaller seed houses
have held their catalogues to a later date
than usual, but the books of nearly all the

larger mail-order houses now are in the
mails,

THE Gate City Seed Co., of Keokuk,
[a., will rebuild in the spring, according
to Alexander Davidson, president of the
company, which recently lost its elevator,
warehouse and offices by fire. The loss
was estimated at $30,000, which was

partly covered by policies aggregatin
$21,000. .

THE Holland growers of spirea clumps
for forcing have had difficulty in dispos-
ing of the usual quantities the last few
years. In addition to the curtailment
caused by the war, it is considered that
the plant has lost some of its erstwhile
popularity. American seed houses still
have moderate quantities of this sea-
son’s imports on hand.

IT seems evident that there will be
large losses of valley pips whenever they
are imported in steamers that do not have
cold storage facilities. It was so in the
season of 1914, when the German pips
first came via Denmark and Holland, and
it develops that considerable losses are
being sustained again this season through
heating of the pips on their journey via
devious routes.

THE West Virginia pure seed law,
which became effective January 1, re-
quires that all seed packages be labeled
as to contents; that the packages bear
the name and address of the seedsman,
agent, importer or dealer; that a state-
ment accompany the package giving
the purity and germinating power of the
seeds; that there be an indication of
where the seeds were grown.

APPARENTLY the light seeds, such as
can come from Europe in the mails, will
all get here in fairly prompt fashion, even
those from Germany.

THE stockholders of the Planters’ Seed
Co., of Americus, Ga., have elected the
following officers for 1916: President,
T. M. Furlow; secretary-treasurer, 8. F.
Howell; general manager, W. C. Gardner.

FIRE AT WACO.

The Mel L. Webster Co., Waco, Tex.,
was burned out January pte the loss
being considered total, although well
covered by insurance. "The corporation
was formed in January, 1912, to con-
duct a general seed business at Waco in
egnnection with the Rush Park interests

The Texas corporation is capitalized at

members.

It was voted to hold the next conven-
tion, June 20 to 22, 1916, in Chicago,
headquarters to be announced later. A
tentative program was arranged and
the following resolution was adopted:

Resolved—That the executive committee of
the American Seed Trade Association in annual
meeting assembled recommends to the association
that, beginning January 1, 1917, this asso-
ciation and its members use the cental system
exclusively by offering all grass, clover, garden
and field seeds, potatoes and onion sets by the
pound and hundred pounds and abolishing the
listing or trading in quarts, pecks and bushels.

SEED TESTING.

Vitality or Only Germination.

The proprietors of this seed estab-
lishment are surprised, after correspond-
ence with a number of seed merchants
in all parts of the country, to learn
how few make any practical germina-
tive tests of the seeds they sell. They
mostly pursue that fallacious and de-
luding system of testing in wet blot-
ters or seed sprouting machines, which
may be compared to incubators, both
showing a sprouting capacity, but: not
a capacity for a continuance of growth,
not an ability to sustain life and grow
into a green plant, which alone indi-
cates the germinative value of seed.
This seed establishment has been mak-
ing earth tests for over 100 years and
is glad to record that some few others
do the same, but nine-tenths in number
of seed merchants in the United States
are deceiving themselves and deluding
the public.

The subject of seed germinative tests,
that is the practical test of the power
of a seed to project its delicate sprout
through the surrounding earth and
above the earth’s surface into the day-
light, is so crucially important to all
seed purchasers that the United States
Department of Agriculture. could not
enter into a better crusade for the pro-
tection of the agricultural public from
misleading information than to take up
the active promotion of the subject of
the strength of seeds to make plants,
for no practical test whatever can be
made except in earth, in a greenhouse
during inclement weather, or in the
open field when the climatic conditions
are favorable, but even in the open
ground disaster often results to seed
tests because of dashing rains—conse-
quently a greenhouse test is the best,
as conditions there are always normal.

Reports of seed vitality made in in-
cubators or vitality-testing machine
are never reliable, be they high or low,
and generally are absolutely worthless
for practical purposes. Consequently,
reports of these misleading trials in
testing machines or incubating ovens
are nothing less than shams laid be-
fore the agricultural public. The ma-
chines are designed to get every sprout
possible out of the seeds, and every-
thing is counted. From a given sample
there may be ninety-five white sprouts
counted, when not over thirty sprouts
are able to continue their growth under
any circumstances whatever. Conse-
quently, that particular lot of seed
should only be counted as equal to
thirty per cent strength and not ninety-
five per cent. At a scientific station

DEFERRED CONCLUSIONS

Time is the great avenger as well
as educator; only the education is
usually deferred until it is too late,
except for advice—and nobody
wants advice. Death-bed repent-
ances may be legal tender for sal-
vation in another world, but her:
they are below par, and regenera-
tion that is postponed until man
has no further capacity to sin is
little better. Sin is only perverted
power, and a man who has no ¢a-
pacity to sin has no ability to do
good. Therefore if you would be
successful in business, use your
power for good purposes—reason
with reasoning men and do not
wait until you are good only to
give advice while waiting to shuffle
off this mortal sphere. Men of ex-
perience, men of capacity, smart
growers in the business do not give
advice unless asked. Avoid the fel-
low with inexperience and canned
advice; but advice from an experi-
enced grower is worth years of
labor. You will find experienced
lily growers using Horseshoe
Brand Giganteum—they know by
hard knocks that they are the best
lily bulbs produced. If you get
these bulbs it is so much saved, as
it costs money to experiment with
various brands of unknown value.
Horseshoe Brand Giganteum are
now ready for delivery at the fol-

lowing prices:

BURPEE’S FORTIETH YEAR.

This is the fortieth year of the Bur-
pee seed business and to commemorate
the anniversary a ‘‘Supplement’’ of
eighty pages called ‘‘Forty Years of
Burpee Service’’ accompanies the cata-
logue. Eighty pages! As much space
as many a big house uses to list its en-
tire line! But the Burpee ‘‘Supple-
ment’’ is devoted exclusively to gen-
eral publicity. Not a single sales offer
in it, much less a price. The greater
part of the text is reprint of write-ups
of the Burpee business that have ap-
peared in various publications, but there
are scores of cuts showing how Burpee
seeds are grown, tested and distributed.
The cover and arrangement are taste-
ful but striking. Both are the work
of W. F. Therkildson, who says he
‘feels a pardonable pride’’ in the book
because it is ‘‘so vastly different from

anything we have put out heretofore.’’

The covers and inserts of the An-
nual this year are manufactured by the
offset method of printi This process
was first employed on the Silent Sales-
man’s Assistant sent out last season as
a follow-up. It proved so attractive
that it was decided to use it this year
in the preparation of the general cata-
logue.

Another unique piece of Burpee gen-
eral publicity literature for 1916 is ‘‘A
Fortieth Anniversary Souvenir’’ en-
titled ‘‘Best Ways to Cook Fresh Veg-
etables,’’ a handsomely printed pam-
phlet of forty pages by Mrs. Anna B.
Scott, a cooking expert and food econ-
omist of more than local reputation.
The first edition is 50,000 copies.

While a busy man will give the
‘‘Supplement’’ a glance and forget all
but thé favorable general impression
created, a busy woman will lay the
‘¢Souvenir’’ away against a time its
Lchaenagg recipes can be tried in her

itchen.

Another Burpee publication of the
week is ‘‘Sweet Peas Up-to-Date,’’ re-
vised to 1916, by George W. Kerr. In
addition to cultural matter, etc., it con-
tains lists of all varieties in commerce,
including in an appendix a list of the
varieties introduced since the previous
edition of the book, in 1914.

NORTHRUP, KING & CO. PROTEST.

A petition in the form of a letter
from Northrup, King & Co., of Minne-
apolis, addressed to Senator Knute Nel-
son, has been presented in the Senate
by the latter, in protest against the
proposed change in the postal laws af-
fecting the rates on seeds. Such a
change is contemplated in the bill re-
cently introduced in the House of Rep-
resentatives (H. R. 636) by Congress-
man’ Anderson.

Northrup, King & Co. take exception
to the statement of Congressman An-
derson that within the first two zones
the postage would be considerably less.
Under existing law merchandise sent
by parcel post takes a rate of 1 cent
per ounce up to four ounces, and above

the latter weight pound rates apply,
with a minimum charge of 5 cents. The
rates at present applying on seeds per-
mit of their transmission by mail up
to eight ounces at the rate of 1 cent
for each two ounces. Above eight
ounces pound rates, corresponding to
the present parcel post zone rates,
apply. Thus it is readily to be seen
that instead of a saving in the local
zones there would be an increased cost
to shippers of seeds. Beyond the first
two zones there would be no difference
over present rates.

They further point out that addi-
tional expense would be entailed. by
the extra labor which would be required
in zoning packages weighing from four
to eight ounces. This, at present, is
unnecessary. A large proportion of
orders for seeds received by seed houses,
they state, are for quantities under the
eight-ounce limit.

The bill would result in largely in-
creased charges, as where it is now pos-
sible to mail two ounces for 1 cent,
the new rate would be 2 cents, and in-
stead of 2 cents for three or four
ounces, the cost would be 3 and 4 cents,
respectively.

GOVERNMENT OPENS SEED BIDS.

The bids for supplying the govern-
ment with seed for the congressional
distribution of 1917, subject to the
usual appropriation being made, were
opened at the Department of Agricul-
ture January 11. The oft-repeated for-
mula was employed. The bids were
opened and read aloud in the presence
of interested parties, the quantities of-
fered only being withheld. In spite of
the scarcity of seeds this season, there
were about the usual number of offers
of surplus stock by growers. The seed
dealers, as a rule, no longer bid for
the government’s order. The awards
will not be announced for some weeks,
but when made will aggregaté about
the same value and quantity as last
year.

For forcing under glass it-has no
equal; as a.producer it stands alone
at the top of the forcing list. The
fruit is smooth, large, bright red.
Ripens all over at once; an ex-
tremely early setter. The skin is
firm, but still thin, making it an
ideal shipper: Goetz’s Best Yet
is offered to all who desire some-
thing especially choice for green-
house forcing. The success with
Best Yet as a forcer with the
grsenhousemen will be most aston-
ishing.

THE nursery trade never was more
optimistic than now. The feeling is that
1916 will be a banner year.

THE firm of Denton, Williams & Den-
ton, of Dansville, N. Y., has filed a peti-
tion in bankruptcy. Further details are
given under Business Embarrassments.

THE first carload of strawberry plants
that ever crossed the continent recently
was received by H. A. Hyde, of Watson-
ville, Cal. The plants were grown in
Maryland and will be reshipped by Mr.
Hyde to points in central California.

AT the annual meeting of the Massa-
chusetts Nurserymen’s Association, held
at Boston January 4, the elimination of
the parasite evil was the principal subject
discussed. G. Howard Frost was elected
president, to succeed Charles Adams.

WHAT IS INTERSTATE COMMERCE?

Curtis Nye Smith, counsel for the
American Association of Nurserymen,
has put into a nutshell, as follows, what
the United States Supreme court holds
to be interstate commerce:

*“(1) When goods are shipped f. o. b.
by the vendor in one state to purchasers
in another state. Method of payment
for goods is not a determining factor.

‘“(2) When orders for goods are so-
licited in another state by advertise-
ments, catalogues, traveling salesmen or
other methods.

‘“(3) When, as a result of acceptance
of orders secured by traveling salesmen,
advertisements, catalogues, etc., the
goods are delivered at sellers’ risk and
cost at purchaser’s residence in another
state, method of payment of goods not
being a determining factor.

‘*Tn these circumstances or when ship-
ment is bill of lading to shipper or
order, draft attached, there is technical-
ly a retention of title in vendor until
after arrival of goods in the other state,
but the United States Supreme court
has stated that this is merely an inci-

dent of collection of payment, the con- ;

tract of sale being consummated in the
vendor’s state.

‘<(4) When vendor in one state ships
goods to a factor or broker in another
state for sale on commission, the title
to remain in the ex-state owner until
goods are sold.

**(5) When ex-state persons estab-
lish and maintain branch offices or
agencies in another state, provided the
agents merely solicit orders which are
sent to the home office for acceptance.

**(6) And these branch offices may
also act as distributing agents for the
interstate shipment and delivery of
the goods on orders previously sent.

‘*(7) When an ex-state vendor main-

The Market.

Business last week showed a falling
off and the usual after-the-holiday dull-
ness was noted. While prices remain
good, it is said by growers and whole-
salers that they are much lower than
they should be, considering the quality
of the stock and the time of the year.
This, it is claimed, is due to the low
retail prices prevailing.

Exceptionally fine carnations are to
be had at from $4 to $6 per hundred.
There is a slight shortage of roses, par-
ticularly of white roses. American
Beauty roses are so plentiful that they
constitute a glut and can be had at low
prices. There are plenty of good Rich-
mond roses to be had at from $8 to $12

A scarcity of flowers of all kinds and
top-notch prices featured the opening
week of the new year. There was a
general scurrying to secure needed sup-
plies. Coupled with the shortage in
supply was an unusually large quantity
of funeral and social work. Many of
the growers, however, are promising
good cuts and after a few sunny days
expect to place the market in a normal
condition as regards the supply.

Various Notes.

Frederick B. Luther has added an
automobile to his delivery department.

A fire January 4 caused considerable
damage to a building owned by George

BELLE WASHBURN

THE BEST RED CARNATION

Winner of the Silver Medal at the last exhibition of the American Carnation Society,
Buffalo, N. Y., January 27 and 28; First prize at the Illinois State Fair, at Springfield,
Ill., September 22 and 23. It has never been beaten at any exhibition. The color is a
most brilliant red. The size of the flower is 3% inches. Stems 24 to 36 inches long,
strong and stiff. We have never had a burst calyx, all flowers grading firsts; and, best
of all, it is a constant bloomer, giving a steady run of flowers equal in number to the
Enchantress family. It has a spicy odor, much greater than the average Carnation. It
comes in full flower by the 1st of December and then continues steadily through the
balance of the season.

During the present holiday season the Belle Washburn was shipped everywhere, from
Texas to Winnipeg, and from Denver as far east as Pennsylvania. It sold at the highest
price of any red Carnation and was the most in demand, being the premier red of any
variety that was in the Chicago market.

The color is the most brilliant red of any Carnation now in the market. We have

rown this variety for five years, it being one of- our own seedlings, and we now have
30,000 plants henched in our greenhouses at Greggs, of which 12,000 are for the cut
flowers and 18,00 evoted to rooted cuttings. Rooted cuttings now ready for delivery.

Price of the-rooted cuttings is $12.00 per 100, $100.00 per 1000. We will bill 500
at the 1000 rate price.

Every cutting guaranteed strong and well rooted. ©

The Florists’ Review

JanuaRky 18, 1916.

NEWARE, N. J.

The Market.

The continued high prices on cut
flowers last week caused a great deal
of complaint, because when prices pass
a certain point people refuse to buy.
Carnations last week sold at $8 per hun-
dred, while good roses could be pur-
chased for $7 per hundred. There has
been an unusually large amount of fu-
neral work, which has made the florists
feel the high cost of stock more than
usual, for cheaper flowers would have
been used if they had been procurable.

There is a good sale of azaleas, ferns
and other potted plants. The demand
for Paper Whites has been good, but
they are rather scarce. A large number
of bulbs were planted for this season
and both growers and retailers look for
good business in this line. Some of the
retailers had large decorations as a re-
sult of the organization of public bodies
during the first days of the new year.

Various Notes.

J. Rose has installed benches in his
new greenhouse in the rear of his store.

George Muller, of 435 Clinton avenue,
has had an unusually large amount of
funeral work, due to the high mortality
caused by the epidemic of grip and
pneumonia. The high prices on cut flow-
ers leave smaller profit on this class of
work,

McLaughlin & Murphy had a large
number of large decorative pieces in
connection with the organization meet-
ings of several of the city and county
administrative bodies.

J. W. Blakely, of Elizabeth, last week
had two old photographs in his window
that attracted considerable attention.
One was a picture of Broad street as
it looked forty years ago; the other was
a picture of Broad street as-it looked
just after the blizzard of 1888.

The S. S. Rogers Nursery Co., which
opened a store at 14 Branford place
just before Christmas, reports a good
business.

The first national convention of the
American Academy of Arborists was
held in the Newark city hall January 1.

H. C. Strobell & Co. last week made
an unusual piece for the funeral of a
prominent telephone engineer. The
decoration stood nearly four feet high.
It consisted of a base of lilies and
green with a large circle at the top,
in the middle of which hung a large
bell, similar to the one on the adver-
tisements of the Bell telephone. The
bell and the circle were made of im-
mortelles.

The Violet Floral Shop, of Elizabeth,
reported a large amount of funeral
work and many orders for flowers for
the hospitals of the city. R. B. M.

Mechanicsburg, O.—Charles B. Wing,
of the Wing Seed Co., takes much in-
terest in the collection of irises his
concern is working up and is gathering
varieties from the ends of the earth.

Des Moines, Ia.—A number of the
local florists convened last week for the
purpose of forming a florists’ society
and to arrange for an annual flower
show to be held at the Coliseum the
first week of November. Applications
were received from growers and florists
of California, Florida and other states,
offering to participate in a show if ar-
rangements could be made for holding
it.

The | Florists’ Review | January 18, 1916.

FORT WAYNE, IND.

'The Market.

We had several days of sunshine las
week and they did much to improve the
condition of the market by increasing
the supply of flowers. Prices have
dropped. Killarney is the most plenti-
ful of roses. Other pink varieties are
more abundant than red and white,
which are unusually scarce. Carnations
are in fair supply. There is a short-
age in sweet peas; violets also are scarce.
Easter lilies are in good supply and there
is a variety of miscellaneous flowers, such
as antirrhinums, Paper Whites, poeticus
narcissi, baby primroses and swain-
sonas. Valley is rather scarce, as well
as orchids.

A number of rhododendrons and late
azaleas are being shown in the stores.
The rhododendrons arrived just a few
weeks too late to force in time for the
holiday business. Some handsome
Marie Legraye lilacs are appearing.
Cyclamens are selling briskly, as are a
few leftover poinsettias. Poinsettias
have lasted remarkably well for cus-
tomers this year and this will, no doubt,
favorably affect the sales of poinsettias
next Christmas. Begonia and primrose
plants are selling well.

The new year’s business has started
under favorable conditions, as business
has been booming in all departments
of the trade. Florists are almost
unanimous in their reports that business
during 1915 far exceeded that of any
of the last five years, and all are be-
eons the new year in an optimistic

rame of mind. ;

Various Notes.

At the annual suffrage luncheon, at
the Anthony hotel, January 8, there

were covers laid for 180 persons. The.

decorations for the tables were Kil-
larney roses in white Germanware
vases. The work was carried out by
the Flick Floral Co. Among the suf-
fragette florists present were Mrs.
Cecil Max, of Mobile, Ala., and her
sister, Miss Margaret Vesey; Mrs.
Aaron Shive, of the Flick Floral Co.;
Mrs. Richard Blossom and Miss
Margaret Flick. : ;

The Doswell Floral Co. closed its
south branch store at 1808 South Cal-
houn street January 1, having decided
to concentrate its efforts at the Main
street store and open an extra sales-
room at holiday times.

Elaborate decorations for a large
banquet last week were executed by
W. J. & M. 8. Vesey, consisting of
Shawyer and Killarney roses in hand-
some vases. A feature of the decora-
tion was a miniature aeroplane which
flew from the musicians’ balcony over
the banquet tables to the head table,
where it deposited a shower of roses
over the place of the president of the
company which was giving the ae

os es

North Vernon, Ind—An up-to-date
greenhouse, 35x100 feet, recently was
completed by Warren Huckleberry.

The Market.

The business done during the week
was a great deal better than expected.
There was a large demand for pot

lants and basket work. The retailers

ave begun to realize that a line of
pot plants must be kept on hand at all
times, for about one-fourth of the busi-
ness done is in the handling of pot
plants or plants in baskets. Begonias
and cyclamens were first in. demand.
In cut flowers, carnations were the best
sellers. Roses cleaned up fairly well,
but were a little irregalar in demand.
Stevia and bulbous stock sold readily.

Various Notes.

Henry Kusik purchased a marriage
license last week. He is the last among
the wholesalers to join the benedicts.

The Geo. M. Kellogg Flower & Plant
Co. has been busy taking an inventory,
both at the store and greenhouses.
Business was good last week. Funeral
work was plentiful. Stock was some-
what scarce, but a good wholesale busi-
ness was done.

William Murray is now in the em-
ploy of his brother, Samuel Murray.
He expects to remain in the flower
business.

Arthur Newell had a good week in
the general line of stock and has been
selling an especially large number of
plants in pots and baskets.

The W. L. Rock Flower Co. had a
sted window display last week. A

ge standard bougainvillea was placed
in the center of the window, surrounded
by hydrangeas and made-up baskets.

The Walnut Hill Greenhouses have
been sending in the finest stevia seen
on this market. E. G. Bunyar says he
grows stevia in preference to mums,
because the stevia nets more money.

W. J. Barnes decorated the show
rooms of the International Harvester
Co. for the annual sales show.

Allen Sexton, manager of St. Mary’s
Greenhouse, reports business good. He
deserves a good deal of credit for the
way he has handled the place. It is in
excellent shape and Mr. Sexton has
only been there about six months.

Beginning and Ending

No matter how the proverb, ‘‘Beginning and ending,” goes, every
live florist knows that if he don’t begin right and on time the odds are
strongly against him.

By sowing seed of snapdragon now a good beginning is made, and
plants can be had in bloom in 3% and 4-in. pots for early sales.
They will gell themselves and make more clear money than anything
on the place. Get busy this month. Every seed that we offer was
grown under glass, in separate houses, on our premises. The quality
is the highest and our prices are as follows:

Seed of our famous Silver Pink, $1.00 per pkt.; 3 for $2.50; 7 for
$5.00. Seed of Nelrose, Garnet, White, Yellow, Buxton, and Mixed,
35¢c per pkt.; 3 for $1.00.

We have plenty of snapdragon plants that will make good at Easter
and Memorial—-the two big flower days. Plants now ready:

Silver Pink Seedlings, Nelrose, Garnet, White and Yellow, at $5.00
per 100; $45.00 per 1,000. Silver. Queen, 50c each; $3.00 per doz.

Begin today. All orders cash or C. O. D. Free directions.
Look up the new Band on page 93. Great for little ‘snaps.

Greenhouse Heating.

SUBSCRIBERS are invited to write the
Editor of this Department with regard to
any details of greenhouse heating that
are not understood. But please do not

equipment advertised in this paper is, we
believe, the best for the trade to buy.

THE COAL MARKET.

The coal men are pleased with the
present and optimistic about the future
‘*The outlook for -profitable business,’’
they say, ‘‘was never better. The im-
proved industrial situation gives every
indication of full running time for all
mines until April 1.’’ ‘These expres-
sions of satisfaction seem to apply to
the entire country, in spite of the fact
—or is it partly due to the fact?—that
railroad transportation in the east is
still considerably obstructed. In the
west, however, traffic is not seriously
hindered, by car shortage or otherwise.
The market is strengthened by the ac-
tion of some of the large manufactur-
ing concerns, which, it is said, are stor-
ing large quantities of coal in anticipa-
tion of a possible suspension of mining
operations in April.

Smokeless coal, it is stated, ‘‘is grad-
ually getting back to the position occu-
pied before its recent somersault. Mine-
run prices range from $1.25 to $1.40.’’

TO IMPROVE THE CIRCULATION.

In a greenhouse 20x85 I have three
2-inch steam mains. Each of these
mains runs the length of the building
and is connected to a 1l-inch return. All
the pipes are well above the water
level of the boiler. While I am able to
keep the house warm in the coldest
weather, the circulation does not seem
to be what it should. Would more re-
turns for each main give better re-
sults? If so, how many returns should
be attached to each 2-inch main?

W. M.—Wyo.

Although the statement is made that
the return pipes are well above the
water level of the boiler, this is not en-
tirely definite and it is possible that
the poor circulation referred to is be-
cause the returns are too near the water
level. In a gravity system we prefer
to have the returns three or four feet
above the level of the water in the
boiler, and would not expect satisfac-

tory results unless there is a difference
of two feet at the lower end of the
returns.

Nothing is said about the amount of
exposed wall space, or of the glass in
the sides and ends of the house. It
is also essential, if one is to make an
accurate estimate of the amount of pip-
ing required, that some idea be given of
the minimum winter temperature and
the exposure to the prevailing cold
winds.

If the returns are high enough above
the water level to prevent the backing
up of the drip water, we would expect
to maintain a temperature of 50 degrees
in zero weather with the amount of
radiation now in the house, provided
there is no glass in the side walls. The
addition of one return to each of the
three coils would give a temperature of
about 60 degrees, under the conditions
mentioned. For 10 degrees below zero
we would use two additional returns in
each coil, making nine returns in the
house.

We do not favor the use of more than
one main in a house no larger than
20x90, and instead of using three 2-inch
flows we would use but one, with ten

WANTS HIGHER TEMPERATURE.

I wish to increase the capacity of
my heating system. I have four houses,
each 2314x90, with a height of seven
feet to the gutter and thirteen and one-
half feet to the ridge. I also have one
lean-to house, with a southern exposure;
it is eighteen feet wide and fourteen
feet high to the ridge. There are no
partitions under the gutters.

I now have a hot water system, with
the pipes all under the benches. As
far as my present requirements are con-
cerned, the system works splendidly,
but I am planning to grow different
stock and therefore wish to increase the
temperature. With the present piping,
I am unable to hold a temperature of
more than 45 or 50 degrees in zero
weather, and I wish to increase this to

1%-inch flow through the center of each
house, and four l-inch returns under
the gutters, be sufficient? If not, please
state the amount of extra piping re-
quired. R. F. @— il.

The description of the houses is so
incomplete that we do not feel war-
ranted in giving any really definite and
unqualified advice in the matter. It
will make considerable differenge
whether or not there is glass it the ex-
posed walls of the houses, and we would
be better able to offer helpful sug-
gestions if a description of the present
heating system had been given, since
much depends upon the size and ef-
ficiency of the boiler and the piping,
and whether it is an open or closed
system.

The suggestion that 11-inch flows
and 1-inch returns be used leads us to
think that it is proposed to put in a
supplementary steam system, or that in
the present system the water is under
pressure. The installation of one 1%4-
inch and four 1-inch pipes would add
160 square feet of radiation to a 90-

THE HEATING PROBLEM SOLVED

Judging strictly according to mechanical merits, it's
the METROPOLITAN PATENTED BOILER you want.

a

Because of their proven scientifically perfect con-
struction, Metropolitan Patented Boilers will heata
given amount of water quicker, with less fuel and
less attention than any other boiler on the market.

The remarkable heating efficiency and quick
steaming qualities of these boilers are due to their
large and effective heating surface.

Just a few points of Metropolitan Patented Boiler
merit:—Smooth, perfect finished castings. Push nip-
ple connections. Large fire box, providing ample
combustion chamber, and permitting a sufficient
charge of fuel to require attention only at long inter-
vals, Deep ash pit, making the removal of ashes a
slight . Large flues, making the boiler easy to
clean. Grates that are made for hard usage and long
service. And above all, they are Fuel Saving, not
Fuel Wasting.

We also make soft coal boilers which are smoke-
less, and save 50 per cent in coal.

foot house. This would add about 20
degrees to the temperature if steam
is used, or would raise it from 45 to 65
degrees.

While it is possible to carry water
under pressure at 212 degrees, or even
highcr, we do not favor doing so ex-
cept during short periods of exception-
ally cold weather. Moreover, we do
not favor using a flow pipe as small as
1%4-inch or returns as small as 1-inch
in 90-foot houses. If the heating sys-
tem is under pressure we would sug-
gest the addition of one 2-inch flow and
four 14-inch returns in each house.

However, our choice would be to use
an open-tank system with three 2%-
inch flow pipes and twelve 2-inch re-
turns, for 60 to 65 degrees, in houses

like those described, with an additional
return for each two feet of glass in
the exposed walls. Two flows and ten
returns should answer for the lean-to,
unless there is glass in the outer wall.

GOOD AND BAD CONNECTIONS,

I am installing a hot water heating
system in a greenhouse 30x100. The
boiler pit is at the west end of the
house. I am using 4-inch pipe for the
main flow and 1eturn. I shall use a
gravity system and I intend to connect
the expansion tank to the return where
it connects with the boiler. The tank
will be ten feet above the boiler. I in-
tend to run one 2%-inch flow and one
3-inch flow to the east end of the house,
one on each line of pipe posts, conneet-
ing these flows at the east end with
six 2-inch returns on each side of the
house. The return coils will drop back
to the west end, where they will con-
nect with the 4-inch return pipe.

Would it be advisable to connect the
flows with the return coils at the west
end of the house also, and put valves
in the branczes that would be used to
make the connection, or would it be
best to make oxly the one connection
between the flows and the return coils,
at the east end of the house?

; M. W. B.—Kan.

Nothing will be gained by connecting
the flow and return pipes at the west
end of the house, as proposed. On the
other hand, while it would make no
difference whatever so long as the
valves are closed, whenever the valves
are open it would tend to hinder
the circulation in the coils. In this
hindrance we can see no object to be
attained, unless it is to reduce the heat
given out by the coils, and this can be

done by closing the draft and opening.
the fire door of the heater, if necessary.

We can see nothing in particular to
criticise in the plan outlined for in-
stalling the piping, although we would
connect the expansion tank to the high-
est part of the main flow pipe. This
may be done when the flow pipes run
downhill, and will do away with the
need for air cocks, besides giving a bet-
ter circulation than when the flow pipes
run uphill.

If the house is well built and has
only a moderate exposure to prevailing
cold winds, we would expect to main-
tain a temperature of 55 degrees with
the two flows and twelve returns, un-
less there is glass in the side walls, in
which case we would not expect. to
keep the temperature above 50 degrees
in severe weather, except by heavy
firing.

The Market.

Last week’s business commenced
briskly, slackened during the middle
of the week and became unusually ac-
tive at the close. Practically every-
thing cleaned up. The general supply
is fair in size and the demand is about
equal to it.

Rose offerings are fine and include
excellent Killarney, White Killarney,
Ophelia, Sunburst, Hadley, Hoosier
Beauty and American Beauty. Carna-
tions still are rather scarce, but are
apparently sufficient for present needs.
Easter lilies are plentiful. The line of
small bulbous offerings includes Paper
White narcissi, daffodils, freesias and
Roman hyacinths. Valley is scarce and
sells well, while violets, sweet peas
and orchids are all fairly plentiful.
Other offerings include callas, stevia,
magnificum lilies, baby primroses and
forget-me-nots. The supply of greens
is sufficient for all present requirements.

Club Meeting.

The attendance at the club meeting
of January 10, held at Labold & New-
burgh’s, was the best and largest that
has been recorded for some time.
Joseph Hill, Roy Rudolph, Henry Shep-
perd, Richard Koots and Otto Geiser
were elected to membership. Joseph
Hill gave an interesting talk on the
coming American Carnation Society’s
silver anniversary meeting at St.
Louis. The first steps toward a big
fall flower show were taken when a
preliminary committee was appointed
to plan for the exhibition. This com-
mittee consists of C. E. Critchell, chair-
man; Joseph Hill, J. A. Peterson,
W. Ray Murphy and Henry Shepperd.
After the meeting refreshments were
served.

Various Notes.

William Speck has been sending fancy
narcissi and daffodils to C. E. Critchell.
At a recent meeting of the William
Murphy Co., which took over the busi-
ness of the late William Murphy, W.
Ray Murphy was chosen president and
manager; Miss Cora Pherson, assistant

dent; L. L. Murphy, secretary-treas-

WHITE FLY ON LETTUCE.

I am troubled with a little insect,
something like a white fly, which works
mostly on lettuce. Will you tell me
what this is and how to get rid of it?
I fumigate with tobacco stems twice
-a@ week, but this does not seem to af-
fect the fly. Cc. H.—IIl.

You undoubtedly have the real white
fly, which is a bad pest on tomatoes,
lettuce; and some flower crops. Nic-
otine fumigations are of little avail in
fighting it. The only certain remedy
is hydrocyaniec acid gas. The formula
for this has often been given in The
Review. Remember that this gas is a
most deadly one and use extreme care
when employing it. It is an inex-
pengive and valuable fumigant, clear-
ing out all forms of insect life, and,
when properly used, will not harm such
crops as tomatoes and lettuce. It is
much more liable to cause damage in
a high than a low temperature.

C. W.

TOMATOES FOR SPRING CROP.

I should like to grow tomatoes to
follow lettuce in the spring, but I
have not had much success with them
the last two years. Any information will
be appreciated, as to the kind of soil,
the varieties to grow and the training.

Should the tematoes be grown in
boxes, to confine the roots and so
hasten fruitfulness? I have some

Lorillard started and at. present the

plants are about two inches high. Are

they all right for spring growing?
H. B.—Ohio.

For spring planting, tomatoes suc-
ceed best in solid beds. In late fall
and in winter they fruit much better
in a greatly restricted root run. For
& spring crop give them soil which
has been well manured with rotted cow
or horse manure. Also, feed with
liquid manure when the crop is well
set. Train the plants erect to single
stems. This necessitates rubbing off
all side growths or laterals. Five or
six good bunches of fruit are sufficient
for plants to carry. Pinch the tops
out when you have the requisite
number.

Lorillard is still a fairly good fore-
ing tomato, but there are others that
are much better. There is nothing
better than Comet. Other good sorts
are Carter’s Sunrise, Stirling Castle,
Early Jewel and Lister’s Prolific.
Place your plants eighteen inches apart
in the rows and allow eighteen to twenty
inches between the rows, with wider
paths at intervals. The Lorillard you
have will-be all right for a spring
crop. Give a dry atmosphere at all
times and a night temperature of 60
to 62 degrees. CG. 'W,

forelock, but is extremely bald behind, will now make preparations for
St. Valentime’s day the same as though stock had been abundant this month.

There will be plenty of flowers in February. Get ready now to sell them.

HAT flowers have heen

scarce in January is no

sign there will be any

shortage for St. Valen-

tine’s day. Quite the con-

® trary, in fact. Given half-

way decent weather, all

the growers who went off

crop around Christmas, or

before, will be on again

early in February. Then, too, there are

the spring flowers, the sweet peas,

freesia, jonquils, daffodils, tulips and

others that come in heavily at this sea-

son. All these will be along as usual
for St. Valentine’s trade.

Get Ready Now.

If a florist has had more trouble get-
ting stock than getting orders thus far
in 1916, it is no sign it will be so for-
ever. In fact, the general shortage
of cut flowers in the last month indi-
cates the opposite condition when crops
come on again. There will be a splen-
did opportunity for profit available to
the man who has planned in advance
to take advantage of it.

St. Valentine’s day will be the first
and best of these chances.

Next to Mothers’
day, St. Valentine’s
day has put more

money into the pock-
ets of the trade than
anything The Review
ever has exploited.
Just by way of re-
freshing memories, it
may be well to look
back to January 30,
1913, when The Re-
view published a St.
Valentine’s Day Num-
ber in which it was
conspicuously stated:
‘‘The purpose of this
issue is to get 10,000
florists each to do at
least a little something
to attract the atten-
tion of the public to
the appropriateness of
flowers for use as val-
entines.’’ That was
the real beginning of
St. Valentine’s as a
special flower day.
Perhaps that St.
Valentine’s Number of
The Review fell short
of its purpose to get
10,000 florists to ad-
vertise flowers for use
as valentines, but the
results really were sur-
prisingly good. Hun-

dreds took up the suggestions, with
great success. Again in 1914 attention
was called to the opportunity, many re-
cruits joining the ranks of the pushers,
while last year literally thousands lent
their assistance. The way sales have
jumped is a matter of common knowl-
edge.

So far in 1916 retailers have made
scarcely any attempt to get business.
Stock has been too scarce. So the pur-
pose of this article is to emphasize the
fact that a change in market condition
is due—that stock will almost certainly
be plentiful by St. Valentine’s day—
that now is the time to prepare to ad-
vertise ‘‘For a Valentine, Send Her
Flowers.’’

Don’t let the St. Valentine’s day
sales fall behind for lack of realization
that there will be plenty of flowers to
sell.

Plan the Publicity.

Pretty nearly everyone in the trade
realizes that the St. Valentine’s day
business, which has increased many fold
in the last three years, like the Moth-
ers’ day business, has come as the di-
rect result of advertising by retail

Cleveland Florists’ St. Valentine’s Display at an Industrial Fair.

florists. It shows how publicity pays.

Of course there are innumerable ways
to advertise—the one way practically
every retailer uses is the show window
—but advertising by any method is of
one of two kinds:

One kind is designed to enable the
advertiser to increase his share of the
business resulting from an established
demand; it makes its chief appeal
through price. The other kind is de-
signed to awaken additional demand;
it makes its chief appeal to sentiment.

The More the Merrier.

Of course the florist who buys news-
paper space does so with the idea of
increasing his own individual sales, but
advertising the appropriateness of flow-
ers for use as valentines has the effect
of stimulating business for all dealers
in flowers—everyone in the trade reaps
a benefit. Consequently, no _ florist
should discourage a competitor’s pub-
licity efforts. Each helps the other.

Put one retailer’s ad in a newspaper
and results will be slow for him, while
not felt at all in other stores. But let
a dozen retailers in a city each use
space in a paper and the showing is so
strong it attracts wide
attention; each gets
far greater results than
as though he advertised
alone, and those who
do not advertise at all
get a share of the new
demand the publicity
creates.

Out of this situation
developed the sugges-
tion made in The Re-
view’s St. Valentine’s
Day Number in 1918,
for codperative adver-
tising — advertising
paid for by subscrip-
tions from a number of
florists in a commu-
nity. This suggestion
has been taken up in
many cities and used
many times with splen-
did effect, for experi-
ence has shown that,
in the average city of
a dozen or more flo-
rists, better results are
to be had by pooling
the funds than by in-
dividual advertising.
Also, it has been shown
that the best success
has been had where the
florists, instead of act-
ing for _ themselves,
ealled in the advertis-

ing manager of the leading paper, put
the business in his hands and followed
his advice. One of the things the news-
paper man tries to avoid is getting his
advertisers ‘‘serapping’’ among them-
selves, as a cut price’ war such as fre-
quently results where each uses a sepa-
rate space usually results in quickly
knocking the profit out of the business

Chicago retailers and give an excellent
idea of the several ways of going at
it. There also are some examples from
smaller cities.

As illustrating the codperative meth-
od, two ads are shown, both from not
large cities. Referring "to the one from
Bloomington, Ill, A. Washburn &
Sons wrote:

‘‘This is the ad the Bloomington
florists took for two days in one of
our local papers, at an expense of $80.
The results were most gratifying and
brought a largely increased business.

‘¢We read with interest the items re-
lating to the selling end of the business
and consider it one of the important
parts of the paper. With the immense
ranges of glass going up, it would seem
that the problem which confronts the
trade is one of selling rather than of
production. ’’

In speaking of the ad used at To-
peka, W. A. Bolinger, of The Rosery,
said:

equally divided the cost. The illustra-
tions were furnished by the newspaper
and the typographical arrangement
made by them. The copy at the top
was ‘borrowed’ from an article in The
Review of January 21 and the verse
below was once used, with the excep-
tion of-a few words changed by neces-
sity, by an eastern florist.’’

The Topeka ad is reproduced as an
example of how not to do it. The illus-
trations are inappropriate for the pur-
pose, all right, perhaps, for a clothier’s
ad but no good for flowers. It would
be better to omit the cuts if they do
not fit the goods to be advertised and
rely on good, readable type display.

Show Window Effects.

If a florist feels he is not in a posi-
tion to use newspaper space or to send
out printed matter to his mailing list,
he can at least trim his show window.
The red heart-shaped boxes are indis-
pensable in the store and with them
alone a suggestion of St. Valentine’s
day can be given the window. Every
store can do at least that much.

layout of the show is presented. The

delphia, the building which is to house
the National Flower Show, March 25
to April 2.. As everyone who has vis-
ited the building knows, the irregular
floor presents problems in the staging
of exhibits likely to prove bothersome
and, in addition, render the extensive
stage area valueless for the chief pur-
poses of the show.

The Automobile Association solved
these problems most heroically by in-
stalling a complete, removable floor,
which provided an even and almost
level surface from the entrance to the
extreme rear of the stage.

Through a contract made by the Na-
tional Flower Show committee with the
Automobile Association this floor has
been secured for the use of the Na-
tional Flower Show, and a certain short-
age of space for exhibits has been obvi-
ated. Many other conditions which in
the nature of them were causing the
committee trouble are now so improved
that the show can be installed without
a hitch.

Secretary Young is greatly elated
over the new order of things. Prospec-
tive exhibitors in the trade section
who could not adapt themselves to con-
ditions can now be suited to their com-
plete satisfaction. Others whose ex-
hibits were not of a nature to harmo-
nize with the exhibits displayed to gen-
eral view, and consequently were not
considered when the shortage of space
became apparent, may now find quar-
ters well adapted to requirements. In
fact, all reasonable demands can be

met, and the secretary’s discretionary
powers are greatly increased.

The contract also covers the heating
system put in by the Automobile Asso-
ciation and the decorations as used for
the automobile show.

The committee was in session alfnost
constantly throughout the two days,
“the sessions being held at the execu-
tive office of the National Flower Show
in the Widener building, at Convention
hall and at the Bellevue-Stratford ho-
tel. Those present were: Chairman
George Asmus, of Chicago; Secretary
John Young, of New York; Treusurer
Wn. F. Kasting, of Buffalo, N. Y.; C.
H. Totty, of Madison, N. J.; Thomas Ro-
land, of Nahant, Mass.; Patrick Welch,
of Boston; William P. Craig, of Phila-
delphia. Adolph Farenwald, of Roslyn,
Pa., was absent through illness. <A
meeting of the committee in conjunc-
tion with the local executive committee
was held on the second day, at which
many of the chairmen of the local com-
mittees were present, including S. 8S.
Pennock, Louis Burk, Wm. Kleinheinz,
W. F. Therkildson and A. A. Niessen,
secretary of the local committee.

At Convention hall the committee
apportioned a large space to the left
of the main entrance for the use of the
ladies of the Garden Club of Philadel-
phia as a tea room, where light refresh-
ments can be enjoyed and dancing in-
dulged in. In connection will be a
counter for the sale of flowers. The
profits from both tea garden and flower
stand will go to some charity or chari-
ties to be determined upon later. An
adjoining space was set apart for use
as a booth for headquarters for the
Garden Club of America. The south-
west corner of the building was set
apart for a lecture room and excellent
quarters for the aquarium exhibits were
located beneath the stage.

At the meeting of the two committees
favorable reports were forthcoming
from the chairmen of the local com-
mittees. Mr. Kleinheinz announced the
donation of several special premiums;
Mr. Craig announced that Louis Burk
had donated $300 to cover the two
prizes in the commercial section for a
group of orchid plants in variety. He
also reported additional prizes amount-
ing to $300 as coming through M. C.
Wright. Secretary Young reported the

donation of $100 from the Alphano
Humus Co. as a special prize.

The great interest already shown by
the Philadelphia people in the show is
most gratifying and augurs well for a
splendid success. Jchu Young, Sec’y.

AMERICAN CARNATION SOCIETY.

Next week, January 26 and 27, we
will hold our twenty-fifth annual con-
vention in St. Louis, Mo. Everything
points to a successful convention and
exhibition. If you have not planned
to attend, you will miss a pleasant and
profitable meeting. Delegations are
coming from as far as New England
and several thousands of blooms are
entered from that section.

There will be a discussion on fer-
tilizers for carnations which it would
pay you to travel many miles to hear.
Come and contribute your mite. That
is not all there will be, either. The
banquet will be held Thursday evening.

The exhibition and business sessions
will be held at the Planters’ hotel.
Make your hotel reservations early.

The secretary will leave home Mon-
day night. All mail that will not reach
Indianapolis by Monday morning should
be addressed in care of Planters’ hotel,
St. Louis, Mo. A. F. J. Baur, Sec’y.

SPLIT CALYXES.

Will you kindly tell me what is the
most common cause of the splitting of
carnations? I had no trouble with
splits until the fireman was changed, a
little over a month ago. I was run-
ning the carnation houses at a night
temperature of 48 to 52 degrees, with
excellent results, but since the owner
put the new man on the job I have
found three or four dozen splits every
morning.

The required temperatures are
marked on labels and placed beside
the thermometers, but the fireman dis-

regards these altogether and runs the

twice the temperature rose to 62 de-
grees. I have made several complaints
to the owner, but he refuses to inter-
fere. Two of the houses run north
and south and two of them east and
west, but the trouble seems to be as
great in one place as another. The
owner says the difference in the light
has something to do with the splitting,
but I fail to see any proof. of the cor-
rectness of his idea. T. E.—Mo.

Of course, every proprietor considers
that he has the right to run his place

-according to his own ideas, but this is

the first instance I have heard of,
where the night man is allowed to run
the temperatures according to his own
judgment. There may be other condi-

tions, not stated in your letter, to cause
the splitting, but there can be no ques-
tion about the variable temperature at
least contributing its share. At this
time of year, when all growth is likely
to be soft, any check followed by a
spurt in growth will cause splitting of
the calyxes, and extreme changes in
temperature will cause just such checks
and spurts. A. F. J. B.

A COMPLICATION OF DISEASES.

Will you please tell us how the treat-
ment we. are giving our carnations can
be improved? We have a few benches
of the plants, mostly Light Pink En-
chantress. They are badly affected
with leaf-spot and stigmonose, and
have short, uneven and weak stems.
We have propagated from our own
stock for the last three years. Last
year our grower started taking cut-
tings in December and continued do-
ing so until March, selecting both soft

and hard-wooded cuttings. Some of
the cuttings were affected at that time
with rust and stigmonose. Some of
them were left in the sand for eight
weeks or more before being potted, and
then were poorly rooted.

We planted in the field in April,
from 2-inch and 3-inch pots. We irri-
gated and cultivated, and also sprayed
with Bordeaux mixture several times
before housing. The plants had made a
fair growth. We benched them in
July, in extremely hot weather, using
new soil prepared early in the spring,
with about one-fourth cow manure. In
benching, our grower used a flatiron,
firming the soil solidly about the roots.
This, we think, may have damaged the
small and tender roots. Still, the plants
took hold and ew nicely, and we
lost only a few in each bench. Now,
however, the plants are uneven and
our cut of blooms is late, with short
and -weak “stems, and affected with
stigmonose, dry spot and dry stem, es-
pecially in the center of the benches.

We have sprayed often since bench-
ing, using Bordeaux mixture about
every two weeks. We have given them
three applications of slaked lime, and
a thin sprinkling of wood ashes to
stiffen the stems. We have kept them
as much as possible on the dry side.
We have cultivated the top soil and
given them as much ventilation as pos-
sible, running the temperature between
48 and 50 degrees at night and at 70
to 75 degrees on bright days. We be-
lieve, as does our present grower, that
the trouble started in the cutting
bench, through the carelessness of our
former grower.

Would you advise us to throw out
the benches that are badly affected,
and plant with lettuce, of which we
should be able to take off possibly

three benches at a wholesale price of
20 cents per pound, or plant with stock
for Memorial day, of which we have
never had enough? I. B. S.—Ore.

Judging by your letter, that grower
of yours seems to have had some ideas
all his own, abont growing carnations.
Nothing seems to have been done ac-
cording to approved methods and one
need not wonder why the results were
unsatisfactory. Cuttings should not
have been taken from badly diseased
plants, and to leave them in the sand
as long as eight weeks would ruin even
good cuttings. Whether you tear out
some of the beds and replant with other
crops, is a question you will have to
decide for yourself. If the plants are
now making a good growth, it might
pay you to leave them in. But if they

are doing poorly, your beds may pay
better in lettuce.

I am inclined to the opinion that you
have overdone the spraying and the
lime and wood ashes, and that might
be partly the cause of the poor show-
ing made. Instead of giving any more
of these, go over the plants and pick
off all the spotted leaves. Cut away
any dried up branches or pull out the
plants so affected. Then give the beds
a light mulch of fairly well rotted cow
manure. They will probably respond to
this little feeding and you will soon
see an improvement. A half inch of
this mulch will be enough. When you
propagate, select your cuttings care-
fully. Take cuttings of uniform size
and in about the same stage of growth.
Pot as soon as rooted and shift along
as needed until planting-out time.

SEASONABLE #
sw SUGGESTIONS

Sa 3S...) SSaaanlSssaSas—_—~0

Spireas.

It is as yet much too early to start
any of the spirmas, or astilbes, for
Easter, which comes at an unusually
late date this season, but a few may be
started in a brisk heat at any time.
Even if the plants do not sell, the
flowers will be useful for cutting and
in funeral designs work in to good ad-
vantage. It is a little early to start
such pink varieties as Queen Alexandra
and Peach Blossom, but Gladstone and
other white varieties can be started
now.

Give the spireas plenty of heat and
moisture. Spread them out well as
they grow and remember that the foli-
age is susceptible to injury from fumi-
gation.

_ The pink varieties have generally ar-
rived in quite bad condition from

abroad this season, some varieties be-
ing worthless, so anyone who has ear-
ried over old stock in the field fur a
couple of seasons will find these clumps
useful this season. We can grow just
as fine spireas as the Hollanders if we
merely plant them out on good ground.
Clumps will often be found so large
at the end of this period that they can
be divided into three clumps, each large
enough for 6-inch or 7-inch pots.

Smilax.

Smilax is an old favorite not grown
to anything like the extent of former
years. It always sells well, however,
when it appears on the markets. Sow
the seeds now in pans in a warm, moist
house. Pot off singly and later shift
into 3%-inch or 4-inch pots. By the
early part of June the seedlings will be
excellent plants to set out in the beds

and this is the proper time to plant to
get a fine crop of strings in the late
eae Adiantums.

As the crop of fronds is removed
from such adiantums as cuneatum and
Croweanum, keep the plants dry at
the root for two or three weeks. This
rest is helpful. Necessary repotting
should be done before starting the
plants up into growth again. For com-
post at potting time use fibrous loam
and sand with some leaf-mold added.
Also, about one-sixth of the whole com-
post can be well decayed and screened
cow manure. The popular idea that
adiantums will not stand this manure
in the soil is all nonsense. Try a batch
with and without it and prove the dif-
ference. When well rooted, soakings of
liquid cow manure are also beneficial.

Cyclamens.

Keep the young cyclamen seedlings
in flats well stirred. They will be mak-
ing good growth now and should be
potted before they become crowded.
Use a soil containing equal parts of
leaf-mold and loam, with a little fine,
decayed manure and sand added. Keep
the plants on a light, sunny bench in
a night temperature of 55 to 60 de-
grees. A spraying overhead on all
bright days will be found advan-
tageous. Old plants which are coming
into flower and which it is desired to
hold back as late as possible should be
kept in a cold, airy house; 40 to 45
degrees at night will suit them.

Pennisetums,

The pennisetums are _ invaluable
grasses for edging subtropical beds. If
you did not carry any old plants over,
which can be torn to pieces and re-
potted at this season, sow a flat or
pan of seeds now. They germinate
readily and, when of sufficient size to
handle, can be potted off singly into
24-inch or 3-inch pots in good loam
which contains a little old manure.

The Florists’ Review

JANUARY 20, 1916.

WOULD GROW HIS OWN ROSES.

What varieties of roses would-you ad-
vise a beginner to plant, and at what
time should they be planted and how
far apart? How many blooms can I
reasonably expect per hundred plants
the first season, and when is a rose
plant at its prime? How many years
are the plants profitable? Will roses,
or any other plants, do well if planted
in solid beds raised about eighteen
inches, with heating pipes run close to
the bed in the walk? In making this
kind of bed, should it be filled in with
cinders or with gravel? I planned to
use about four inches of cinders, a
layer of old manure and about six
inches of good, sandy garden soil. Will
it be necessary to feed the plants the
first year? In the following years,
what will be the best fertilizer to use?

C. F.—Ohio.

A few good roses are Killarney,
White Killarney, Ophelia, Sunburst and
Hadley or Richmond. The planting
can be done in May or June; sometimes
it is done even later. Some growers
prefer solid beds, others raised benches.
As you are a beginner, I think it would
pay you to buy your roses and devote
your benches to carnations, chrysanthe-
mums or some crops more likely to give
you satisfaction. I donot think it pays
small growers to bother with green-
house roses. It is far better to buy
them from the big specialists. C. W.

PROBABLY NEED FEEDING.

Please give us some information as to
whether it would be advisable to feed
our Killarney roses with liquid cow
manure and cut out the blind wood, of
which there is a considerable quantity.
We also wish to know how many roses
each plant should average per year.

X. Y. Z.—W. Va.

If Killarneys or their sports have
any quantity of blind wood, it is usual-
ly a sign that the plants are starved.
Killarneys are heavy growers, needing
frequent feeding, and liquid manure is
one of the best means of feeding them,
especially at this time of year. As a
rule, if Killarneys are given enough
feed, these blind shoots will start a
new shoot from the second eye and give
a good flower. So, unless the blind
shoots are long and weak, I would only
cut the top eye off. Treated in this
way, the plants will give a crop at the
time when roses are scarcest. A Kil-
larney plant, if grown right, should

‘were carefully gone over.

-give thirty to thirty-five good flowers
_per season. W. J. EK.

AMERICAN ROSE SOCIETY.

Executive Committee Meetings.

An executive committee meeting of

the American Rose Society was held
at New York January 10, at which
time the proofs of the Annual for 1915
The book
is to be illustrated in colors and to
go to every member of the Rose So-
ciety.
The prizes agreed upon for the ex-
hibits of rose gardens at the coming
exhibition at Philadelphia are: $500,
first prize; $300, second prize; $200,
third prize. Forty-one special prizes
have been offered in addition to the
regular schedule.

A motion will be’ brought before the
annual meeting as to what action is
best to take in regard to renaming
roses with established names, and the
committee upon the standard length of
rose stems for commercial sale also will

AMERICAN VERSUS EUROPEAN.

Referring to Mr. Meader’s letter in
The Review for January 6, and Mr.
Hendrickson’s article in the issue of
January 13, I trust I am not presuming
too much to ask you to publish a few
facts from personal experience, which
I think may be of interest to your
readers.

For several years prior to 1912 my
export trade was nearly, if not quite,
as large as my domestic trade, but
more mixtures were required than
named varieties, except such as Ceres,
Augusta, Mme. Monneret, etc., and it
was largely price and not quality which
moved the immense quantities which
were shipped.

In 1909 the tariff upon gladiolus bulbs
was reduced from twenty-five per cent
ad valorem to 50 cents per thousand,
specific, with the result that foreigners
began to pick up planting stock of
American varieties where they could do
so, realizing that with their cheap labor
8nd practically no tariff, they could
grow and return to us at prices below
the reach of American growers, who

report at the approaching annual
meeting.

The next meeting of the executive
committee will be held February 1, at
Philadelphia, to go into the details of

preparation for the annual show.

Premiums at Philadelphia.

It is well understood, no doubt, that
premiums of $500, $300 and $200 are
offered for rose gardens at the Phila-
delphia spring show.

were handicapped by the difference in
the cost of labor.

In the meantime scores of gladiolus
specialists sprang up about the country,
who seem impressed with the idea that
the growing of this bulb and flower
will be ‘‘easy money,’’ and, on the look-
out for stock, they are attracted by the
low prices quoted by foreign growers,
and buy and offer for sale. This ac-
counts for the seeming advance in pop-
ularity of foreign varieties.

I dare say, however, that if all gla-
diolus bulbs imported during the last
three or five years could be tabulated
under their proper names it would be
found that the bulk of the stock was of
American origin.

It is beyond contradiction that the
best foreign varieties have come from
V. Lemoine & Sons and Vilmorin-An-
drieux & Co., from whom at no time
within my recollection could large quan-
tities of their best varieties be pur-
chased, hence could not be catalogued
to any great extent in this country.

With comparatively few exceptions,
varieties from other countries are lack-

ing in one or more valuable attributes
which contribute to a perfect and prof-
itable plant. The one variety which
has held its own is Brenchleyensis and
this is on account of its earliness and
-ecolor. For many years I have pur-
~;ehased European novelties as they have
been introduced and I have failed to

eration beauty, form, foliage, strength

THE CONVENTION GARDEN.

The accompanying illustration shows
the convention garden in contemplation
at Houston, Tex., for the S. A. F. meet-
ing in August, 1916, and was prepared
from a drawing by George H. Kessler,
landscape architect, who is doing work
at Houston this year and whose services

are available for the success of the -

garden..

A part of the drawing is designated
as city blocks, to show the relative dis-
tance from the Rice hotel convention
hall to the garden.

Those in the trade who wish to ex-
hibit in the garden may address C. W.
Brock or J. 8S. Kerr, Houston, Tex.,
or Secretary John Young, 53 West

NEW YORK.

The Market.

January 15 the cold wave came out of
the west, but prices remained steady,
the only severe break being in orchids,
which were selling at 25 cents each for
selected stock. Roses were lower dur-
ing the week, because of light demand
and rain. The lower grades of roses
have been most in demand and prices
for these were strong, with no surplus
for the bargain hunters. Prima Donna,
Hadley, Hoosier Beauty and Ophelia
are much in favor in millionaire row.

Carnations dropped during the week
to 3 cents and advanced again January
15 to 5 cents. There seemed to be an
abundance of them in the market, how-
ever, and lower prices are again antici-
pated. Lilies hold at 10 cents and val-
ley at 4 cents for the selects. Gardenias
are lower and so are the Paper Whites.
Tulips, freesia and Golden Spurs are in
good supply, with light demand. Daisies,
pansies, lilac, wallflower, sweet peas,
forget-me-not and all other seasonable
flowers are sufficient in quantity. Vio-
lets are more abundant and lower in
‘price.

PITTSBURGH.
The Market.

Pittsburgh is in the midst of a bliz-
zard, with the thermometer registering
zero in the city and 10 dégrees below
zero at Bakerstown. The quantity of
stock is much short of the demand.
Although the supply in most lines is
equal to that of last year at this time,
the unusual number of funerals is caus-
ing a shortage in everything. The
wholesale house has no use for cooling
boxes, as everything is cleaned out
early in the day. The prices have held
up well since New Year’s.

Horticultural Society.

The Horticultural Society of West-
ern Pennsylvania held its first meeting
for this year in the East Liberty branch
of the Carnegie library, with President
David Fraser in the chair. James
Scott, of Scott Bros., Elmsford, N. Y.,
was the speaker of the evening. He
gave an interesting talk on the sub-
ject of organization for floricultural
men. He also spoke on chrysanthe-
mums, indicating the important points
of difference between plants grown for
commercial and for exhibition pur-
poses. The latter subject was espe-
cially appropriate, as the society has
decided to hold a chrysanthemum ex-
hibition next fall.

Certificates were issued for the fol-
lowing exhibits: To Mr. McNamara,
superintendent of the Pittsburgh Coun-
try Club grounds, for celery, beets, car-
rots and onions; to Mr. Murphy, of
Sewickley Heights, for cyclamen; to
Neil Forsyth, gardener at the J. J.
Fisher estate, for Spirea Venus; to
Walter James, gardener for W. Henry
Hilliard, for Farquhar’s giant pink
and white Primula Sinensis and Lor-
raine begonias; to Secretary Thomas
Tyler, for orchids.

It was a splendid meeting. An invi-
tation is extended to :any and all
friends to attend the next meeting.

Various Notes.

Geo. Marshall, of the McCallum Co.,
and Miss A. J. Thomas were married Jan-
uary 12 and left for Florida for an
extended visit. They will be at home
to their friends at their new home in
Knoxville on their return.

Herman Orth, of the Pittsburgh Cut
Flower Co., slipped off January 17 to
take unto himself a wife, but did it
so quietly that the boys have not found
out her name.

Fred Burki has gone for an extended
stay in Florida. He just missed this
cold snap, which was just the kind of
thing that he wanted to miss.

Samuel McClements has just returned
from Atlantic City, where he went to
recuperate after an extremely busy
holiday season. He says Atlantic City
is ‘‘such a quiet, restful place.’’

Frank Stafford, of the Randolph &
McClements force, is still confined to

his home. He has been ill since New

Year’s. Miss McKinley, of the same

firm, has also been ill since New Year’s.

FAHRENHEIT OR CENTIGRADE?

A bill has been introduced in Con-
gress to abolish the Fahrenheit ther-
mometer scale, now in general use in
this country, and substitute therefor
the centigrade scale as the standard in
United States government publications.

As the proposed change has an im-
portant bearing on the work of the
Weather Bureau and many lines of
commercial and other activities, the
bureau desires to obtain an expression
of opinion as to desirability of the
change from the standpoint of business
requirements.

With this end in view the Weather
Bureau has sent to business firms a list
of questions, asking whether business
men favor the change; whether the use
of the centigrade scale would affect
business favorably or unfavorably, and
whether the change would involve addi-
tional expense to business men. An-
swers to the questions should be sent
to the Weather Bureau, Whitehall build-
ing, 17 Battery place, New York city.

MOTT-LY MUSINGS.

A. H. Woeppel, of Corning, N. Y., is
ever ready to extend the glad hand
to the traveling salesman. Just now
Old King Sol would receive an extra
welcome. Business was excellent, with
a shortage in carnations but an abun-
dance of plants. P The cyclamen is
superb. .

W. A. Wettlin, of Hornell, N. Y.,
has just finished a handsome bungalow,
warranted by a most profitable season.
‘‘Our stocks of asparagus, cyclamens,
cinerarias and dracenas will be up to
our high standard,’’ remarked Mr.
Wettlin.

The United States Cut Flower Co.,
of Elmira, N. Y., reports a banner sea-
son and an excellent crop coming on.
Superintendent Richard King expects
to represent the establishment at the
Philadelphia show with some choice
stock.

J. G. Barrett, of Troy, N. Y., has
been busy with funeral work. Some
splendid designs in standing crosses and
wreaths on bases were noted.

Sambrook Bros., of Troy, find the
additional space in the new store wel-
come, especially with the steady in-
crease in business. George Sambrook
was delighted with his tour of the
western continent last summer -and
marveled at the progress of our crafts-
men. John Sambrook has the sympathy
of his friends in the loss of a splendid
son. The young man was home on a
vacation from Cornell, where he was
studying landscape work, when he was
stricken with diphtheria, which carried
him off quickly.

Alfred Goldring, of Cobleskill, N. Y.,
says one of his most profitable crops is
Bougainvillea Sanderiana, planted at
a north wall of a house. It blooms
freely and continuously and is fine for
bouquets. It is valuable for the man
who grows for his own trade.

Joseph Traudt, of Canajoharie, N. Y.,
was an interested guest at the annual
supper of the Albany Florists’ Club
and caused some of the boys to open
their eyes when he spoke of the busi-
ness transacted at the home of the
Beechnut products. W. M.

BALTIMORE.
The Market.

Almost an entire week of ‘cloudy
weather had the effect of keeping the
supply of stock still short of the de-
mand. Roses, especially the short and
medium grades, were in good demand,
but longer stock was only salable after
the supply of other sizes had been ex-
hausted. Carnations are still in short
crop, with everything in sight bought
up. Valley is none too plentiful, but
the demand is only fair, the high price
no doubt causing the use of other flow-
ers where a substitution can be made.
Lilies, both callas ‘and Easter, were
sold up well, owing to the heavy de-
mand for funeral work. Single and
double violets were only in fair demand,
with plenty in sight. The weather has
had its effect on peas, by causing many
to drop the buds, and those coming in
are not of extra good quality; neither
is the supply any too large. Cattleyas
have been moving slowly, but gardenias
have been selling well. Some bulbous
stock is coming in and is bought up
eagerly. Freesia is more plentiful and
sells well, but stock in general is scarce,
business good and prices rather high.

Various Notes.

The Leo Niessen Co. had some of the
first jonquils of the season this week.

John McCormick has been marketing
some fine bouvardia and some good
Roman hyacinths.

P. B. Welsh this week shipped the
first tulips of the season to the Pen-
nock-Meehan Co.

At the next club meeting, January
24, there will be a lecture, ‘‘Landscape
Gardening,’’ by F. G. Pratt.

The C. E. Akehurst Co. is cutting
some fine carnations in the White
Marsh greenhouses, the Enchantress and
Mrs. Akehurst being specially worthy
of mention. The recently installed auto
truck is giving efficient service.

F. W. O. Schmitz, of Prince Bay,
N. Y., was a visitor during the week.

USINGER’S UTTERANCES.

John A. Bopp, who recently purchased
the flower store of Fred Ruppert, at
Cumberland, Md., reports that business
is unusually good. Mr. Bopp has not
been active in the retail end of the
business for a number of years, having
devoted most of his time to the whole-
sale.

That 1916 will be a good year for
the florists is the opinion of John Paul,
of Cumberland. His business has taken
wonderful strides during the last few
months and is improving every day.

Mrs. W. F. Zane, of Wheeling, W.
Va., wa's confined to her bed last week
with a severe attack of the grip.

John Deickmann, of Elm Grove,
W. Va., is one of the best rose growers
in this section of-the state. His Rich-
mond roses are exceptionally fine.

John Hellstern, of Wheeling, W. Va.,
who has been on the sick list for about
three months, now is recovering rapid-
ly and is able to be about again.

Although Frank Seibert, of Wheeling,
is no wagon builder, he can build a
wagon that puts a smile on the face
and a twinkle in the eye of his son.

novelties. Mr. Langhans finds an ever
increasing demand for this sort of
goods.

George Stanley Wehrley, manager of
the Virginia Flower Shop, is making a
feature of the dollar box. He finds
that this brings in the loose dollars
which ordinarily would not be spent for
flowers.

Albert Lash, of Warwood, W..Va.,
who recently completed a greenhouse,
will add another to his range in the
spring.

The H. Weber & Sons Co. stores in
West Virginia, at Clarksburg and Fair-
mont, report an unusually good trade.

The Huntington Seed & Floral Co.,
which recently opened a store at Hunt-
ington, W. Va., has built a small green-
house in the rear of its store.

B. Dudley, of the J. W. Dudley Sons
Co., who should be an authority on
business conditions in West ‘Virginia,
having three stores in West Virginia
and one in Ohio, says that business this
year is beyond expectations. Mr.
Dudley last week visited his branch
store at Huntington and the trade at
Charleston. W. T. U.

SYRACUSE, N. Y.

The Market.

Business last week was good and
could not help it, for orders for funeral
pieces were unusually numerous. Roses,
carnations and Paper Whites were con-
spicuous by their absence—they were
exceedingly scarce. Tulips and hya-
cinths have made their appearance.
Flowering plants continue to enjoy a
good demand.

Various Notes.

At the P. R. Quinlan greenhouses the
men are cutting a good batch of roses.
There is a bench of splendid calla lilies
and a good lot of tulips coming into
crop.

Charles Browne, who was rushed last
week with funeral work, said it was
almost impossible to buy roses or carna-
tions.

The Baker Floral Co. is finding a
ready sale for a fine lot of cyclamens.

There was a handsome display win-
dow consisting of cyclamen and azaleas
at the Chester Harris store last week.

Jonquils and tulips were near the top
of the list of the good sellers at the
store of Henry Morris last week.

Out at the Peter Kay greenhouses the
Gorgeous carnation held the center of
the stage. All other stock is in first-
class condition.

Alfred Bellamy, superintendent of the
Oakwood cemetery, is busily engaged in
preparations for the plant business this
spring. H. ¥..3B.

THE KNOXVILLE DINNER.

The Knoxville Florists’ Society held
its midwinter banquet at the Atkin
hotel January 10, and it proved to be
one of the most enjoyable gatherings
the florists of that city ever held.
There were about fifty persons present,
most of them members of the society.
Dr. Sam Boyd, an honorary member,
presided and did so well that he will
probably be made permanent toastmas-
ter. Among the guests were John Van
Zonneveld, of Sassenheim, Holland, and
Judge Robert P. Williams. Mr. Van
Zonneveld spoke of business conditions
in his country and in the United States.
He stated that while business in the
old country is suffering greatly from
the effects of the war, the florist
is still making a legitimate living, and
that in the United States the florists’
business is flourishing-as it never did
before. Judge Williams spoke strongly
on the value of codperation and com-
mended the Knoxville florists for the
advancement made along this line.
Prof. G. M. Bentley, a member of the
Knoxville Florists’ Society, and secre-
tary of the Tennessee State Florists’
Association, spoke in behalf of the
state society and insisted on everyone
who could possibly do so attending the
state florists’ meeting in Nashville
January 24. He announced that R. C.
Kerr, of Houston, Tex., vice-president
of the S. A. F., would be present and
make an address. C. L. Baum and
A. J. McNutt made interesting talks
along kindred lines. Karl Baum gave
an interesting lecture on his recent trip
through the west. Brockway Crouch
furnished some fine music with his
violin. R. E. M.

NEW BEDFORD, MASS.

The Market.

Prices are unusually high and most
flowers are scarce, particularly “arna-
tions. There are a few bulbous flowers
to be had, among which are Paper
Whites, Golden Spurs and the first

freesias. Funeral work has been heavy
and flowers have sold well despite the
high prices.

a night temperature of 60 degrees. Do
you think they will come too early for
Easter, and, if so, will it hurt them to
move them into a cooler house?

F. H. L.—Ind.

Your plants are not much too early.
In order to be sure of their being in
flower for Easter you want to see the
buds so that they can be counted by
March 15. Giganteums succeed far the
best if allotted a temperature such as
you are now giving yours from start
to finish. I would prefer to leave the
plants where they are until the buds
are well advanced. You can open them
in a somewhat lower temperature if
this is found necessary, and when one
or two flowers are open they can be
kept in a comparatively low tempera-
ture. Ce W:

Hittinger’s Belmont makes a solid
head, while Grand Rapids produces
more curly leaves and a much smaller
head. Belmont succeeds well at 45 to
50 degrees at night, but should not go
higher. Grand Rapids will do well in
the same temperature, but seems to
stand a little more heat and be im-

TOMATOES UNDER GLASS.

I should like to get some information
in regard to the growing of tomatoes
under glass, with particulars as to the
temperature, the most profitable varie-
ties to use, when to plant, how far
apart to plant and the proper way of
pruning. Also, please tell me the ap-
proximate yield during the season.

R. F. G.—Il.

Tomatoes may be planted over a long
season under glass. For a Christmas
crop, the seed must be sown about Au-
gust 1. For a spring crop, which you
probably have in mind, the seed can
be sown now, while for a summer crop,
to precede the outdoor one, the sowing
may be done as late as March. Suitable
winter varieties are Comet, Lister’s
Prolific, Carter’s Sunrise and Best of
All. For later work, Comet, Chalk’s
Early Jewel and Bonny Best are good.

If you prefer tomatoes of larger size,
try Livingston’s Stone. For winter and
spring crops the smaller-fruited sorts
are preferable.

A night temperature as near 60 de-
grees as possible should be given toma-
toes. They must also have a dry at-
mosphere at all times. It is best to
grow the plants to single stems, rubbing
off all side growths or laterals as they
appear. For a late spring or- summer
crop, the plants can go in rows eighteen
to twenty inches apart, allowing the
same space between the plants. Paths
twenty-four to thirty inches wide should
be left at intervals. The plants can
be supported by cane stakes, but a bet-
ter plan is to attach a piece of soft
brown twine to each stem, fastening
this to overhead wires running directly
over the rows. As a rule it is best to
pinch the plants after they have made
five or six bunches of fruit. The
weight of fruit per plant depends on
the season and also on the kind of cul-
ture the plants get. It will vary from
six to ten pounds per plant, sometimes
more, but not infrequently less.

In winter the plants fruit best in a
restricted root area, but after April
they succeed better in solid beds and
in ground that is well enriched. At
this latter season, especially, they also
need watering with liquid manure. The
plants must be fumigated to keep aphis
in check. For green or black fly to-
bacco extracts answer, but for white
fly hydrocyanic acid gas is necessary.
A cold, drafty and clammy atmosphere
will develop mildew. It will not ap-
pear if you keep your house warm and
dry. You cannot expect to make a com-
plete success of tomato growing the
first season. Do your best and try
again. Cc. W.

OBITUARY

Henry Behrens.

The death of Henry Behrens, of Mid-
dletown, O., occurred January 12. Mr.
Behrens was born in Germany and was
83 years of age. When only 17 years
old he came to this country and found
employment in greenhouses at Cincin-
nati. When he reached his majority he
went to Middletown, O., and started in
the florists’ business for himself, con-
tinuing to be actively engaged in the
business for nearly sixty years. When
he was 80 he turned the business over
to his son, Henry Behrens, Jr., who is
continuing it. Another son, Theodore J.
Behrens, was raised in the business and
now is employed by the George Witt-
bold Co., Chicago. Two daughters also
survive.

John Jacob Ehrhardt.

John Jacob Ehrhardt, for many
years a florist of Brooklyn, N. Y., died
January 12 after a brief illness at his
home, 1953 Broadway. He was born
in Brooklyn forty-nine years ago and
is survived by his wife, two sons, Henry
and William; two daughters, Charlotte
and Mildred.

Alfred W. Baxter.

Alfred W. Baxter, a prominent flo-
rist of Waterloo, Ia., died suddenly
January 4, at the home of friends, 139
Hoyt street, New York. Mr. Baxter
was in New York on a visit when
stricken. The remains were sent to
Waterloo for interment. The deceased
is survived by a stepson, E. A. Me-
Cullough.

Abner Branson.

Abner Branson, pioneer settler and
nurseryman of New Sharon and Oska-
loosa, Ia., died at Oskaloosa January 8,
after several months of illness from
cancer. Mr. Branson was 79 years of
age and had been a resident of Iowa
since 1853, coming to the Hawkeye
state only seven years after it had
been admitted to the Union. He at
one time was president of the State
Horticultural Society and had been an
officer of the Iowa Nurserymen’s Asso-
ciation.

During the latter years of his life
Mr. Branson was totally blind, having
lost his eyesight through an accident.
His blindness, however, did not retard
him in his work at the nursery. He is
survived by four daughters.

W. B. Durie.

W. B. Durie, for many years doing
a general florists’ and nursery business
at Rahway, N. J., while he was princi-
pal of a school in Jersey City, died
January 16, aged 75 years.

Prof. Durie’s venture into the flo-
rists’ field was first as a recreation,
but soon his two sons and his foreman
and manager found enough local pat-
ronage to utilize all the stock that can
be grown under 10,000 square feet of
glass and on ten acres of scientifically
cultivated land. He still was young
mentally, and physically active, when
he retired from pedagogy a few years
ago, leaving a position at the head of
a corps of seventy teachers, since which
time he has devoted all his energies to
the business. He has been a resident
of Rahway for nearly fifty years and

was widely esteemed. The sons will

continue the business.

Albert McCullough.

Albert McCullough, one of the lead-
ing figures in the seed trade of the
United States as well as in the business
life of his home city, died January 13,
at Christ hospital, Cincinnati, follow-
ing an operation for an intestinal dis-
ease.

Mr. McCullough, born in 1851, was a
native of Cincinnati, his paternal
grandmother having been the first white
girl to have set foot at that place.
Upon the completion of his school ca-
reer Mr. McCullough embarked in the
seed business with his father, J. M.
McCullough. When his father died Mr.
McCullough and his brother, J. Charles,
assumed charge of the business, but
later the latter established the J.
Charles McCullough Seed Co. Albert
McCullough then incorporated the com-
pany of which he was the head at the
time of his demise.

Although Mr. McCullough was prin-
cipally known in the trade as a seeds-
man, his business included wholesale
cut flowers and everything in the line
of horticultural supplies for both the
wholesale and retail trade. He was
a pioneer member of the Society of
American Florists and a charter member
of the Cincinnati Florists’ Society. His
membership in the American Seed
Trade Association dates from 1884, the
second year of that organization’s ex-
istence. He took great interest in its
affairs and served as secretary-treasurer
for three years, 1886 to 1889. In 1890,
at the Saratoga meeting, he was elected
president, and again at the Chicago meet-
ing in 1900, the honor of two terms in
the presidency never having been given
any other man. For nearly a quarter of
a century he was chairman of the associa-
tion’s membership committee and thus
in large measure shaped the course of
the seed trade’s organized efforts. He
became its first president when the
Wholesale Grass Seed Dealers’ Asso-
ciation was formed.

At the time of his death he was a
director of the Fourth National Bank
of Cincinnati. He formerly was presi-
dent and a director of the Chamber of
Commerce. He was a member of the
nominating committee last year. He
was a familiar figure at the affairs of
the Queen City, Hyde Park Golf and
Business Men’s Clubs.

Surviving him are his widow, two
daughters, Misses Ella M. and Josephine
McCullough; a son, Harrie B. MecCul-
lough, who is secretary and treasurer
of J. M. McCullough’s Sons Co.; a
brother, J. Charles McCullough, and one
aaa Mrs. M. T. Drake, Palm Beach,

la.

Funeral services were held at the
residence on Cypress avenue, Pleasant
Ridge, January 15, Revs. W. L. Schmal-
horst and Gervaise Roughton officiat-
ing. There was a large attendance,
including many members of the trade,
and an elaborate showing of flowers
sent as a tribute to his loyal friendship
and sterling worth. Burial was in
Spring Grove cemetery.

MAMARONECK, N. Y.

The Westchester and Fairfield Horti-
cultural Society held its first meeting
of the new year in its home in the
Isaac Hubbard hall, January 14. The
principal features of the meeting were

the installation of officers for the en-
suing year and the competition for the
prize offered by Mr. Grierson for the
most meritorious exhibit. Thomas Ryan
captured the prize with a fine vase of
Carnation Pink Sensation. The color
was good and the blooms were of un-
usual size. The thanks of the society
were accorded the following exhibitors:
James Stuart, Euphorbia jacquiniefiora ;
William Graham, Carnation Princess Dag-
mar, Violet Princess of Wales and Cauli-
flower Snowball, P. W. Popp, Narcissus
Grand Soleil d’Or.

The officers of the societ
dent, W. J. Sealey;
Owen A. Hunwick; secretary, J. B.
McArdle; treasurer, Robert William-
son; corresponding secretary, P. W.
Popp; executive committee, William
Whitton, Oscar Addor, John T. Burns,
Anton Peterson, Thomas Ryan.

Resolutions on the death of George
Lander, Jr., were adopted and ordered
spread on the books. It was voted at
this meeting to hold the annual sum-
mer and fall exhibition as in the past,
location and dates of the exhibition to
be decided upon later. A committee
was appointed to arrange the details
for the annual entertainment and dance.
The date of this affair will be an-
nounced later, as well as the location
of the hall. A communication was re-
ceived from William Kleinheinz, of
Ogontz, Pa., chairman of the exhibition

are: Presi-
vice-president,

National
Show which is to be held in Philadel-

committee of the
phia in March. Mr. Kleinheinz makes
an earnest plea for support and un-
doubtedly the society will be well rep-
resented at the show. A communica-
tion from the secretary of the codpera-
tive committee of the National Asso-
ciation of Gardeners offered the mem-
bers of the society copies of the splen-
did essays read at the convention of

the association at Boston. The offer
was unanimously accepted.
During recess Messrs. Stuart and

Popp entertained the members with an
account of the proceedings of the gar-
deners’ convention. The next meeting
will be held February 11. A sociable
session is in order and a large: attend-
ance is expected.

Providence, R. I—January 17 Cros-
well Whittier shot and killed his sweet-
heart, Melissa M. Budlong, 22-year-old
daughter of James A. Budlong, and
then fired two bullets into his own
head. He died several hours later at
the Rhode Island hospital. The police
believe jealousy the cause of the shoot-
ing. Both the Budlong and Whittier
families are well known socially in
Providence and Cranston. Mr. Budlong,
father of the slain girl, is a member
of the firm of James A. Budlong &
Son, market gardeners and florists.

STRANGE what a difference a few weeks
of good business makes. The trade never
was more optimistic than now. The
clouds have all rolled by.

ONE of the reasons why the price of
flowers should be maintained all along
the line is that the cost of labor is bound
to advance in this trade as it is advanc-
ing in other trades.

FLORISTS are prone to forget that a
sale is not complete until the money is in
the till—that a purchase is not complete
until the bill has been paid. Don’t let
your interest in growing, selling or mak-
ing up result in neglect of office detail.

THE Classified ads in The Review show
an increase each season, the number and
space this January being nearly thirty
per cent gain compared with a year ago.
And, it should be remembered, each and
every one is charged for at the uniform
rate of 10 cents per line; none are printed
free as a bonus to the advertiser who uses
display space.

SUPPOSE every person in any way con-
nected with the trade—grower, wholesaler,
seedsman, plantsman, supply house, re-
tailer—suppose each one puts up a big
sign beginning February 7—a sign that
all who see may read—saying this, and
nothing more, ‘‘ Let flowers be your val-
entine.’’ Would it triple, or only double
the demand that day? Think it over.
Do your part.

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:

THREE. YEARS.

Windler, R., Rogers Park, Chicago.

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 are sent.

‘‘WATCH YOUR STEP.’’

When certain florists subscribed to
‘‘the Review’’ and later found it was
not the. Florists’ Review, as _ they
thought, the Farmers’ Review declined
to refund the money, its manager,
named Ellenbaum, stating, ‘‘The re-
eeipts are plain; it’s the subscribers’
lookout.’’ -

The Florists’ Review does not do
business on the Ellenbaum principle,
but it warns its subscribers against pay-
ing money to strangers for its account.

THE RIBBON MARKET.

Ribbons have come into such general
use in the flower business that the trade
will be interested in the following
summary of the situation by an au-
thority in the ribbon business:

‘*There is less unsold merchandise in
first hands than at any time during the
last decade; all stocks are cleaner than
ever before; the value of goods woven
is at least twenty-five per cent above
the prices ruling three months ago; and
the value of goods to be woven is sub-
ject to so many probable additional ad-
vances in the elements of cost that
manufacturers are not yet sure of their
figures.

‘*In this connection the trade should
remember that during the low mark
months of last year most ribbons
were being sold at cost or even below.
The recent advance, therefore, is
partly a reinstating of values. In fact,
all classes of merchandise are moving
up to a normal prof‘t-paying basis.

Ribbons are merely falling into line.
There is none, however, who can say
with authority that the spring of 1916
will bring ribbons into general use
again and tax the mills to their full
capacity as did the spring of 1914; but
all believe that great improvement in
demand is close at hand and that Jan-
uary buying will lift the market to a
higher level of values than has been
known for years and, if indications are
correct, to a ‘higher pitch of activity.’’

SENT TO SIX STATES.

It is one of the oddities of human
nature that the man who can do busi-
ness away from home, bringing outside
money into his town, has a standing
unattainable by means of even the best
of service to his own community. So it
has come about that orders from outside
are everywhere specially welcome—and
specially impressive.

Get yours by means of a classified ad
in The Review. Like this:

The Review has.entirely cleaned us out of tulip
bulbs, our stock having been shipped into six
different states as the result of the ad in The
Review.—The Crest Nursery, Riddle & Peterson,
proprietors, Piqua, O., January 5, 1916.

The man who can keep up a constant
supply of good stock can do a steady
mail-order business through classified
ads in The Review. There seems to be
no limit to the demand.

CHICAGO.

The Market.

So pronounced has the general scar-
city in the Chicago market become
that the daily papers are commenting
on it. Wholesalers are still obliged to
fill orders short, and a large number
of them are confining their activities
to their regular customers. The un-
usually high death rate continues, creat-
ing an abnormally large demand for
stock for work. However, several of
the larger growers say that the crisis
in the market conditions has passed and
that gradually increasing ease may be
expected.

Beauties, which have been holding
out during the last two weeks as the
longest item on the market, are rapidly
approaching their annual shortage. Al-
ready ,a marked scarcity is noted.
Other roses continue as short as ever,
but reports are reaching the market
that several rose crops will be ready
for cutting in the near future. It now
is possible to supply most of those
who can use the more costly grades;
the scarcity is in the medium and, es-
pecially, the short stems.

Carnations, too, continue scarce,
though an increase in the supply of
white is in sight. Jonquils and tulips
are rather more plentiful than they
were, but so great is the general short-
age and so voracious the demand, that
this fact is scarcely noticed. Excellent
sweet peas are reaching the market,
but most of them are sold before they
are well unpacked. Violets, Paper
Whites and valley go in much the same
way. The funeral work affords a suf-
ficient outlet for Easter lilies. The
demand for orchids is strong enough
to keep the prices well up. Violets are
the weakest feature of the market.
There have been numerous losses
through freezing en route from the east
this week.

Galax and ferns continue the long
items on the green goods list. Other

The Trade’s Bankers.

The annual bank elections have just
been held and there is an interesting
sprinkling of trade names in the re-
ports. The trade holds two bank presi-
dencies, one vice-presidency and a num-
ber of directorships.

E. C. Amling was unanimously re-
elected president of the State Bank
of Oak Park.

Joseph J. Budlong was reélected
president of the Lake View Trust -and
Savings Bank, in which, it is said, he
is the largest stockholder.

Albert F. Amling has been a director
and vice-president of the Maywood
State Bank for several years.

The name of Peter Reinberg appears
in the lists of directors of two banks,
one national, one state. The former
is the Ravenswood National; the latter,
the Lincoln Trust and Savings.

The Bowmanville National Bank has
J. C. Vaughan as one of its directors.

Just a Suggestion.

There are five wholesale florists in
the Lemoyne block, passed by all the
north and west bound elevated trains,
affording an unobstructed view to close
to 300,000 passengers a day. Suppose
these wholesalers ‘‘chipped in’’ a cou-
ple of dollars apiece and across the
front of the building a big banner read
for a week, ‘‘ Let flowers be your valen-
tine.’’ How much would it increase
the demand in the stores of their cus-
tomers, the retailers throughout the
city?

NOTICE

While the present phenomenal scarcity continues,

probably for the next two weeks, be sure to get

” in your orders early in the morning, or day before
shipment is to be made; then we have a better

chance to fill them from our own Growers’ stock.

If, however, your order arrives after our supply

has been exhausted we will not turn you away

without stock, unless all Chicago is sold out.

stimulated him to make a thorough in-
spection of the Bassett & Washburn
greenhouses, in the course of which he
walked from Greggs to Hinsdale, Ill.

Thanks to a particularly rugged con-
stitution, John Poehlmann, president of
the Poehlmann Bros. Co., is gaining
ground, though not yet strong enough
to sit up. He is, however, well enough
to see friends who call at the north
side German hospital.

The authorities in charge of supplies
for the allied armies in Europe, in look-
ing about for some one capable of han-
dling the water supply in such a manner
as to assure the soldiers of chemically
pure water, selected Cass L. Kennicott,
of Chicago, one-time city chemist, and
a cousin of H. B. Kennicott, of Kenni-
cott Bros. Co., as the logical man. Mr.
Kennicott has not determined whether
or not he will accept the position.

The Market.

The opening day of the week, Thurs-
day, January 13, was the third day of
mild rain. Its effect on the. market
was trying. Business slackened and
the buyers felt that now was the time
to lower the unusually high prices.
These prices were more apparent on the
poorer grades of stock than on the bet-
ter grades. The stock that everybody
could use was high—out of proportion
to the fancy stock that few wanted.
Carnations fell a point; roses sold slow-
ly in some quarters. January 14 and
15 saw a rush that came with the clear,
cold weather, putting the market back
where it was the week before. Carna-
tions regained lost ground. Both car-
nations and roses were short of the de-
mand. The extremely cold weather
that followed kept the market at a
high level, with only a few weaklings.
Gardenias, violets and cattleyas were
all dull, with light demand and low
prices. It was extremely odd to find
buyers who were unable to obtain white
carnations or short-stemmed white roses
taking gardenias as substitutes. Daf-
fodils are eagerly sought, freesia is
selling well and tulips are improving.
Besides the yellow and white tulips,
we now have a few of the orange
Couronne d’Or. Easter lilies and callas
are scarce and high. Daisies, both yel-
low and white, are in fair demand.
Poinsettia is completely over, after a
wonderfully good season. Nearly all
the peas now offered are of the Spencer
type; the early blooming or ordinary
varieties are less and less grown. White
lilac is‘in demand. Greens are becom-
ing scarcer.

member of the committee was present.
To meet them, some fifty of the local

step in advance was made, a step that
overshadowed all the others in impor-
tance. This was the leasing of the

the decorations left in Convention hall

paid for these advantages was $2,500.

cost the automobile show $6,000.
Against this liability the committee has
already leased these improvements to
John Wanamaker for one night for
$500. There are further plans, not yet
completed, that are expected to reduce

the cost of the improvements for the
National Flower Show. This arrange-
ment supersedes the proposed plan of
heating the building by a vacuum ex-

The Market.

There was a considerable change in
market conditions last week. Stock of
all kinds, with the exception of double
violets and orchids, was scarce and
prices were correspondingly high. Car-
nations jumped from $4 to $6 per hun-
dred and there were not enough of them
to go around. The greatest scarcity is
in the lighter colors and these are in
large demand. White and pink roses
of all varieties form a considerable

not of good quality at present.

Various Notes.

Fred Burki, of Pittsburgh, Pa., was
a visitor during the week, stopping over
while en route to Florida points, where
he will spend the next three or four
weeks, or, as he said, possibly more if
he likes it. During his short stay in
Washington he motored over to Ana-
costia, where he looked over the green-
houses of the Gude Bros. Co., and
expressed himself as highly pleased with
the trip. He stated that the stock he
examined was good for this time of
the year. Other visitors were C. W.
Tolman, of Bangor, Me., and George W.
Evenden, of Williamsport, Pa. Joseph
Goudy, representing Henry A. Dreer,
Inc., of Philadelphia, made one of his
periodical visits to the local stores.

Miss J. Ballinger, manager of the
Z. D. Blackistone store, is again on the
job, following a week ’3 absence. Miss
Ballinger was suffering from an attack
of the grip.

George H. Cooke had a fine decora-
tion at Richmond last week, on the oc-
casion of a reception at the executive
mansion. Large quantities of Ameri-
can Beauty and long-stemmed Radiance
roses, orchids and other high-grade flow-
ers were used in the work. Mr. Cooke
superintended the work in person and
added the many novelty features to the
decoration of which he is a past master.

INDIANAPOLIS.

The Market.

Trade continues brisk and funeral
work is heavy. Stock is scarce. Roses
are cleaned up daily, as well as carna-
tions. American Beauties have some
demand, but their quality is poor.
Paper Whites have a good call for fu-
neral pieces. Valley, lilies, Roman hya-
cinths and lilacs are not sufficient for
the demand. Yellow jonquils are hav-
ing a good call, but the supply is short.
Calla and Easter lilies are short. There
is a good sale for blooming plants,
such as azaleas, cyclamens, primulas
and lilacs.

time on it will make a better showing
from week to week. The demand for
Paper Whites continues, and many
growers who planted but few of these
bulbs this year, owing to the glut in the
market last year, wish they had put in
a larger supply.

Carnations and roses are a little
cheaper than they were a week ago, but
the quality is not what it ought to be
and the prices are still higher than
usual. There continues to be an unusu-
ally large amount of cloudy weather,
and-to this fact the slowness of the
growth of the carnations is attributed.
This undaubtedly affects. the roses also.
Agaleas are selling well and there is a
good demand for Boston ferns. Aspara-
en took.a jump last week. Valley and
vidlets “are still high-priced and have
a:tendency to short stems. Orchids are
plentiful and are reasonable in price.
Potted cyclamens form part of the win-
dow display of many stores. Potted be-
gonias in flower also are plentiful. There
eontinues to be an unusually large
amount of funeral work, as a result of
the epidemic of grip and pneumonia.
General business conditions are encour-
aging and this should mean a good busi-
ness all through the season.

Various Notes.

The monthly meeting of the Essex
County Florists’ Club will be held this
week at the Krueger auditorium. Offi-
cers will be elected for the ensuing year,
and plans for the ladies’ night program
will probably be announced.

There was a special sale of Paper
Whites at the flower department of
Hahn & Co. last week at 50 cents a
dozen. A year ago they were selling
for 29 cents a dozen. Business is re-
ported as excellent and the outlook is
encouraging.

Henry Hornecker, of East Orange,
states that he is surprised at the way
business has kept up since the holiday
season. He reports an unusually large
sale of baskets and a fine demand for
azaleas.

J. H. Harvey has been ill with the
grip at his home for more than a week.

F. A. Kuehn states that there is a
large amount of funeral work at
present.

East Orange, are making big prepara-
tions for the spring trade, as they think
business will be unusually good this
year. They have considerable bulbous
stock that will be ready for the market
about February 1.

PROVIDENCE.

The Market.

A slight improvement in the supply
of flowers was noticeable last week,
but the quantity did not reach the nor-
mal. As a result prices have main-
tained a ‘slightly higher level than
usual. There is but little relief in sight
for the next few days. On the other
hand, there has been a decided increase
in the demand for decorations and fu-
neral pieces. The deaths are unusually

numerous. Roses and carnations, which
are most in demand, are especially
short.

Various Notes.

Burt L. Hartwell, of the Rhode
Island College, lectured on ‘‘The Chem-
istry of the Garden’’ at the annual
meeting of the Rhode Island Horticul-
tural Society, January 19.

Miss E. O’Connor, of Thayer street,
is expecting a new delivery auto. She
reports an unusually large business.

land, has a force of men engaged in

The Westminster Greenhouses, Inc.,
of 1205 Westminster street, is defend-
ant in two suits filed a few days ago in
the Superior court, in which the dam-
ages asked aggregate $2,000. It is al-
leged that G. Silvio was hit and in-
jured by the defendant’s automobile
October 12, 1915. The injured is a
minor. He sues for $1,000 and his
father sues for a like amount as com-
pensation for the loss of his son’s
services.

The Hoxsie Nurseries, of Hoxsie sta-
tion, are cutting their first Golden
Spurs, which they are shipping to the

The Market.

Market conditions last week showed
no improvement over those of the week
previous. Stock remains scarce and it
is next to impossible to take care of
orders as they should be handled. The
weather man decided that we were due
for a cold spell and we got it to the
extent of 15 degrees below zero. As
the cold was preceded by rain, which
turned into soft, heavy snow, the glass
on the greenhouses has a coating of ice
that goes a great way toward keeping
the cold out. No trouble has been re-
ported in this locality and things are
moving nicely. The sun has come back,
but does little good in increasing the
supply of stock, on account of the ex-
treme cold.

Roses remain quite scarce and the
shorter grades and even the medium
stock is cleaned out early each morn-
ing. Carnations have increased some-
what in supply, but continue to move
at high prices. Conditions indicate
that the present shortage will stay with
us for some little time and relief from
this state of affairs is still quite dis-
tant.

Various Notes.

Alfred Schiller was operated on for
intestinal trouble January 13 at St.
Joseph’s hospital. It is reported that
he is getting along nicely and will prob-
ably leave the hospital within three or
four weeks.

Walter Holton, with the Holton &
Hunkel Co., left work Saturday, Jan-
uary 15, to undergo an operation for
stomach trouble. He has been ailing
for some time and his friends all hope
that this operation will bring him back
to excellent health.

Richard Salm, of French & Salm,
Union Grove, Wis., and Mr. Benke, of
Loeffler & Benke, Watertown, were vis-
itors last week. By d..8.

Bridgeport, Conn.—Miss May S&S.
Beach, daughter of James E. Beach, was

“WE NEVER SLEEP”’

The Market.

The extremely cold weather of last
week put the local market in such con-
dition that the demand far exceeded the
supply. All consignments were short
of the usual quantity. The retailers
had a busy week in funeral work and
have not been able to get the desired
stock in this market since the first of
the year. The promised large crop of
carnations right after the holidays did
not come. While good quantities of
carnations were received daily, the de-
mand was such that all were cleaned
out early each day, with the top price
for extra fancy at 6 cents.

Roses are in short supply and ad-
vance orders have cleaned them up
each morning. The quality is fine and
prices are holding up to top notch.
These conditions make it easy for the
wholesaler to dispose of all stock in
the bulb line, and Paper Whites, Rom-
ans, valley, freesias and _ lilies also
clean up before the day is half over.

most interesting. J. F. Ammann re-
sponded by saying that the chairmen of
the various committees were doing
great work and the success of next
week’s meeting is assured.

The committee reported favorably on
the applications for membership by
Fred C. Weber, Jr., and Stephen Beer,
and their election followed. The fol-
lowing florists made application for
membership: Edwin Juengel, Fred G.
Grossart, L. P. Jensen, Carl Doerflinger,
H. W. Endress, Richard Jaenicke and
Albert Senger.

H. C. Irish introduced Prof. J. C.
Whitten, of the State University of
Missouri, at Columbia, for a _ talk,
which was most interesting to all the
members. <A vote of thanks was ex-
tended to Prof. Whitten. Treasurer
Smith reported the finances of the club
in healthy condition. The question box
again brought out interesting discus-
sions at the close of the meeting. The
next meeting will be held February 10.

Horticultural Society.

The Missouri State Horticultural So-

to by Prof. J. C. Whitten, of the State
University of Missouri, after which
President T. C. Wilson delivered an ad-

Jacob Stocke, of St. Louis, on ‘‘The
Vegetable Gardening Profession’’ and
‘‘The Forestry Problems for Mis-
souri.’’

On Thursday the attendance was
larger. The paper by W. W. Ohlweiler
on ‘‘Hardy Ferns, Shrubs and Herba-
ceous Plants for the Missouri Home,’’
and the paper by Adolph Jaenicke on
‘“Novelties in Fruits and Flowers,’’
were highly interesting. Frank A.
Weber’s paper on ‘‘Storing Fruits for
Home Consumption’’ was also pleasing
to the members. On Friday, the last
day, L. A. Goodman’s apple-judging
demonstrations were among the inter-
esting features.

The election of officers resulted as

President, H. C. Irish, St.
honorary vice-president, L. A.
Goodman; vice-president, G. T. Tippen;
second vice-president, A. D. Kilhan;
secretary, H. S. Wayman, Princeton,
Mo.; treasurer, W. T. Folurney, Marion-
ville, Mo.

Miss Goodman, President Irish and
Secretary Wayman were appointed a
committee to select a state flower for
Missouri. During the meeting there
was a nice exhibition of apples grown
in Missouri.

Various Notes.

Louis;

The Lady Florists’ Home Circle
spent a pleasant afternoon at the home
of Mrs. Fred C. Weber, on Berlin ave-
nue. The cold weather did not seem
to have any terrors for the ladies, as
all the members were present. Mrs.
Theo. Miller will entertain the circle at
next month’s meeting.

The local seed houses are busy with
their spring catalogues, which will be
mailed out soon. Among these firms
are the St. Louis Seed Co., the Schisler-
Corneli Seed Co. and C. Young & Sons
Co. They report a splendid sale of fall
and winter bulbs.

Planters’ hotel. Chairman W. C.
Smith, of the exhibition committee,
has his plans all ready.

Joseph Marx, representing the A. A.
Arnold Paper Box Co., came into our
midst last week after a long absence.
He is a great favorite with the local
trade.

Lechner Bros. had an exhibition of
bulbs last week at the Planters’ hotel
during the meeting of the Missouri
Horticultural Society and_ reported
good business results from it.

C. Young & Sons Co. furnished the
big floral decorations for the Imperial
ball, which is a yearly event for the
bon-ton society people. The company
has had the decorations for this ball
for a number of years and each year
the display is becoming more elaborate.

The cold weather last week, with the
temperature below zero, taxed the ca-
pacity of the boilers at the local green-
houses. Some of the smaller growers
had a hard time keeping the frost out.
A few consignments to the wholesale
market came in frozen.

George Angermueller reports that his
shipping trade in florists’ supplies has
kept up remarkably well since the first
of the year.

Mrs. M. M. Ayres, former head of
the Ayres Floral Co., made friendly
calls on the trade last week. She has
nothing at present to report as to her
future plans, but admits being some-
what lost in not being able to handle
flowers.

Windler’s Flowers, on South Grand
avenue, is doing a lot of street car ad-
vertising, from which good returns are
received. The latest is a sign reading
‘*Windler’s Flowers are Love’s Right
Bowers. Grand and Shenandoah.’’

Max Herzog, the south end florist,
had a bouquet to make last week which
contained 500 carnations. With carna-
tions up to 6 cents wholesale, he had
a pretty good job on his hands.

Floral Co., in the southern part of the
city, report an exceedingly busy week
in funeral orders and other lines of
work,

The stork paid a visit to the home of
John Connon, in Webster Groves, and
left a fine baby girl just before Christ-
mas. Last week Mr. Connon’s mother-
in-law, Mrs. Watson, died at his home.
The funeral took place Thursday, Jan-
uary 13.

The retail florists held a meeting at
the Mission Inn Garden, January 17,
and discussed the work before them for
next week’s American Carnation So-
ciety meeting, in which they are to
play an important part.

A large number of suburban florists
were seen at the wholesale market last
week. Among them were J. F. Am-
mann, George Madsen, M. F. Widmer,
E. W. Guy, W. E. Ogle, W. J. Pilcher,
Joseph Hauser, A. 8S. Cerny, Hugo
Werner, Chas. Meyer, W. A. Rowe, A.
Jablonsky, Phil Goebel, Jr., W. J. Ed-
wards, F. Vennemann, Gus Hartmann,
John Connon and Edwin Denker.

Vincent Gorly and Marion Uhl-
schmidt, of the firm of Grimm & Gorly,
are daily buyers at the wholesale mar-
ket. They say the cold weather cut
off a great deal of transient trade last
week, but business was good, neverthe-
less. J. J. B.

The Market.

There is no great change to report
in market conditions. Flowers continue
scarce and prices in nearly all cases are
as high as ever. The arrivals are not
large, both carnations and roses being
off crop with nearly all of the growers.
The demand is not brisk. The extreme-
ly high prices have seriously affected
retail business and were it not for

heavy calls for funeral work there
would be little to buoy up the market.
Neither growers nor retailers remem-
ber any such previous spell of scarcity
and high prices in January. While
prices are double or treble those of a
year ago, many growers say their re-
ceipts are no larger. The rose men in
this respect have an advantage over
the carnationists.

The call for Beauties is not robust,
owing to high prices. Specials make
$50 per hundred, a small number of
fancies going a trifle higher. Russell,
Hadley, Richmond, Ophelia and Stanley
make $6 to $25 per hundred. Yellows
are not abundant and sell well, Sun-
burst being easily the best seller. Kil-
larneys sell remarkably well, there be-
ing no trouble in getting $6 for short
stems. Carnations continue to sell

splendidly, the majority making $4 to
$6, with fancies at $8. Violets remain
about the same. Sweet peas vary from
$1 to $2.50 per hundred, the latter be-
ing the price on the best Spencers.

Longiflorum lilies are in good supply
and there are quite a few speciosums.
Callas make $2 per dozen. Some fine
mignonette is coming in. This sells at
from $6 to $12 per hundred. The sup-
ply of bulbous flowers increases, but
clean-ups so far have been easy. Daf-
fodils have made $5 and $6, and tulips
$4 per hundred. Paper Whites con-
tinue to make $3 to $4 per hundred.
Pansies sell well, making $1 to $2 per
hundred, but they are quite short-
stemmed. Specialists should endeavor
to breed a race with longer stems.
Yellow marguerites vary from $2 to
$4 per hundred and lily of the valley
from $2 to $5. Stevia continues to
sell well. Cattleyas are somewhat
weaker, but gardenias are scarce. The
best flowers easily make $6 per dozen.
There is not much demand for green
stock.

Club Meeting.

There was a large and enthusiastic
meeting of the Gardeners’ and Flo-
rists’ Club January 18 at Horticultural
hall, the occasion being ladies’ night
and the annual installation of officers.
The new officers all had something of
an optimistic nature to say.

The committee on resolutions on the
late W. Atlee Burpee, of Philadelphia,
consisting of W. N. Craig, Duncan
Finlayson and Robert Cameron, gave
its report. The resolutions were
adopted and ordered spread on the
records. ;

President James Methven appointed
the following committees for the cur-
rent year: Exhibits—Kenneth Finlay-
son, chairman; Robert Cameron, James
Wheeler, William Downs, S. J. Goddard,
F. E. Palmer, T. H. Westwood, D.

60 years’ experience in the florist business guarantees
efficiency to take care of all orders. 20 per cent allowed

of the club to be sound. The secre-
try’s report showed the largest at-
tendance in 1915 to have been 410,
the smallest eighty-four, average 160.
There were thirty-three new mem-
bers admitted during the year. Four
field days were held; at Waverley
in March, the Arnold Arboretum in
May, Newport in July and Lexington
in September, with an average attend-
ance of seventy-eight. During the year
there were fifty-four exhibits made at
meetings and two reports of highest
merit, seven reports of merit, six cul-
tural reports of merit, five honorable
mentions and thirty-four votes of
thanks were awarded.

An excellent entertainment was pro-
vided and much enjoyed, followed by
a collation and dancing. Tickets for
the banquet at the New American
House, February 9, sold at a lively
rate. It was announced that February
15 the annual carnation night of the
club would be held. There was some
discussion over the transportation to
the Philadelphia show, also on the de-
sirability of starting a class in floral
art for the benefit of retailers’ as-
sistants.

Guttman & Raynor, New York, made
a fine display of its novelties, including
Mme. Paul Euler rose and Laura Weber
and Peace carnations.

Nine new members were received
during the evening and at the close the
secretary announced that the attend-
ance was 400 persons, a showing any
florists’ club could be proud of.

Various Notes.

C. B. Johnson, of Woburn, who
bought the Woburn establishment of
Arthur Griffin, is one of our largest
and most successful carnation special-
ists. His houses are always kept in
perfect condition. Especially fine with
him this season are Matchless, White
Wonder, White Enchantress,
Benora, Ward and Pink Delight. Some
3-year- old plants of the last named are
eye-openers. Alice is largely grown
and well liked. Smaller batches are
planted of several novelties. Many
thousands of cuttings have already
been potted and more recently planted
in beds. Mr. Johnson has bought ma-
terial for a new house, 46x225, and
may decide to build another of similar

size. All his flowers are handled by
Moses Leibman at the wholesale flower
market.

Newman SS. Wax, the oldest of
Boston’s pioneer retailers, who formerly
operated a store on Winter street, cele-
brated his eighty-sixth birthday Janu-
ary 11, and was remembered by a num-
ber of his confreres. Mr. Wax is in
good health. His sons, Martin and
Samuel Wax, constitute the well known
firm of Wax Bros. Business at.the Tre-
mont street store continues good, al-
though prevailing high prices are detri-
mental to business. Wax Bros. had a
large decoration at the Beaconsfield,
January 11, for the Parry-Knowlton
wedding. The bride’s bouquet was of
white orchids and valley, the brides-
maid’s was of pink orchids and the
maid of honor carried Sunburst roses.

dling large quantities of Guernsey

Albert Roper, of Tewksbury, handles
as many high-grade carnations as any-
one in the market and he has had no
trouble of late in getting $8 per hun-
dred for all his best blooms. He will
go to the St. Louis convention and
carry blooms of a number of his nov-
elties, but owing to the long journey
he is doubtful of scoring high on the
exhibition tables.

Peter Hylen, of Randolph, this sea-
son is growing a new forcing tulip
named Christmas Scarlet. It can be
flowered for the aap but, unfortu-
nately, lacks substance. e has quan-
tities of Guernsey Glien Spurs, La
Reine tulips and calendulas.

The Welch Bros. Co. reports a good
demand for flowers, but an inability to
secure sufficient stock to fill orders.
The members consider the present high
prices injurious to business.

P. J. Donahoe, of the Boston Rose
Co., is receiving fine shipments of
Beauty roses from Scarboro, N. Y. He
says the high prices on Beauties hurt
trade in them. From the Montgomery
Co., Hadley, Mass., splendid Hadley,
Russell, Sunburst and Ophelia are be-
ing received.

John McFarland is sending in fine
shipments of valley, which are handled
now at the Codperative Market by
Maurice Hambro for H. M. Robinson
& Co.

H. W. Vose is still sending in some
nice chrysanthemums, the only ones
now seen here. He has a lot of excel-
lent cinerarias of the large-flowered
type.

J. Newman & Son, on Tremont street,
are being kept unusually busy with
funeral orders. There is a heavy in-
crease here in the death roll as com-
pared with that of a year ago.

H. M. Robinson & Co. report an ex-
ceptionally strong demand for flowers,
but great difficulty in securing flowers
to fill orders, though they have good
shipments of carnations and roses daily.

W. R. Nicholson, of Framingham, is

At the Penn stores business is good.
One of the windows at the Trerront

Scottish, nm honor of Robert Burns,
whose great celebration here comes
January 25. They have received a
great quantity of heather from Kil-
marnock, Scotland, for distribution.

The sweet pea show, to be held at
Bar Harbor, Me., in July, is already at-
tracting attention here and a large
representation from this section is plan-
ning to attend it.

Some beautiful acacias are features
in Carbone’s windows this week. Busi-
ness in all departments here is reported
as being exceptionally good.

Wheeler & Co., of Waban, have a
grand show of Cattleya Trianz now.
They have a splendid house of phale-
nopsis. Quite a few of P. amabilis are
now coming into bloom.

Edwin Jenkins, of Lenox, Mass., de-
livered a splendid practical lecture at

LOS ANGELES.

LOALSASCASASGA‘SA

The Market.

Stock cleaned up finely last week. As
an addition to the regular business there
was a great deal of good funeral work,
owing to the death of several promi-
nent citizens. There still is a scarcity
of good roses, especially for shipping;
much of the stock arriving is too fully
developed for long distance work. Jonk-
heer J. L. Mock is becoming more and
more of a favorite with the better class
of retailers, while Hoosier Beauty and
Hadley are extremely popular among
the reds. Bulbous stock is coming in
more freely and since the last writing
white Roman hyacinths have appeared
in quantity, helping out the valley sit-
uation. A number of fine carnations are
in, all colors being included, while the
violets were never better than this year.
Doubles are not extra popular, but the
beautiful Undine, wherever shown, is
far and away ahead of Marie Louise, its
flowers being larger and holding their
fragrance longer. Cecile Brunner roses
are not any too plentiful and the pretty
yellow George Elger helps out for cor-
sage bouquets.

Outside of these items, good cut flow-
ers are scarce and retailers are looking
more to plants for good window dis-
plays. This is a healthy sign, for it
has long been a recognized fact that
when customers can obtain good plants
at reasonable prices they are going to

keep on coming. Ferns have sold re-.

markably well in the larger sizes; also
small made-up pans and baskets. In
the principal cafes and hotels there is
a disposition to use bright-flowering
plants rather than the ubiquitous ken-
tias, aspidistras and Boston ferns.
This is also a good sign, as it familiar-
izes the public with the beauty of this
class of stock and leads to inquiries
about the plants and to subsequent
business.

Greens continue plentiful and good in
quality.

A slight frost January 11 and a
rather heavier one January 12 led to a
good deal of smudging among the citrus
fruit growers, but apparently little
damage was done. Heavy rains previ-
ously had soaked the ground well, but
put a stop to balling operations in the
nurseries; consequently, orders are pil-
ing up.

Various Notes.

The second quarterly smoker and ban-
quet of the Los Angeles Horticultural
Society, held at the Bristol cafe the
evening of January 8, proved a great
success. About sixty participated in
the excellent supper, after which a few
speeches, many good stories and an occa-
sional visit from the cabaret perform-
ers livened things up. There was a
good representation from the Pasadena
association, including President Shields,
prince of story-tellers and king of
good fellows. President W. W. Felgate
made his first appearance and worthily
upheld his reputation. Business is en-
tirely dispensed with on these occasions,
which are given over to good times.
Unfortunately, the weather was stormy,
which led to the absence of many well

known persons, including Vice-president
Taylor, but everyone enjoyed every
minute of the time and some wanted to
buy tickets for the April smoker, ‘‘lest
they forget.’’

sf Dieterich has been confined to his
bed with a severe cold and grip. At
this writing he is out again, but looks
far from well.

Walter Garbett, of the California Cut
Flower & Evergreen Co., says he is well
pleased with the way business is pan-
ning out and thinks his change is going
to be a good one. A new delivery car
has been put on and is of great assist-
ance in getting out rush orders.

Morris Goldenson has been a big
buyer of azaleas, rhododendrons and
other choice plants this season. Man-
ager J. Gordon has made some elegant
window displays of them, and says me-
dium-priced plants make a cheaper and
more lasting window display than cut
flowers; also, they give greater satisfac-
tion to customers.

Karl von Leekwick, a Belgian gar-
dener who has been in the city for some
time, is expecting his brother from
Europe shortly. The latter’s business
has been ruined by the war and he and
Karl are going to try their fortunes in
business here.

LOE OUD,

The California Rose Co., of Pomona,
is going to move from its old quarters
to other acreage near the city limits,
the present ground having been under
roses for a long time and now being
subdivided.

The L. A. Floral Co. is constantly en-
larging its scope and shipping more and
more stock to distant points. A con-
stant study by the management to ob-
tain the class of flowers that ship well
and the utmost care and up-to-date
methods of packing for long distance
shipping account for this.

J. W. Wolters had an effective win-
dow decoration last week with Primula
malacoides and Rhododendron Winter
Cheer.

A greatly increased demand is noted
by the Germain Seed & Plant Co. nurs-
ery department for small, bright, plants
of salvias. Bonfire and Glory of Stutt-
gart are two of the best sellers. Not-
withstanding the late arrival of the
early-flowering azaleas, this firm is en-
tirely sold out of all but Easter vari-
eties. Rhododendron Winter Cheer has
been a fine seller this season from
Christmas on. Sales in deciduous and
citrus fruits are starting in well.

SAN FRANCISCO.

The Market.

Last week ’s weather was a succession
of storms and frosts, and counter trade
was dull, but the monotony was relieved
by a fair run of funeral work and a
few good decorations. Several kinds of
the more expensive flowers are in good
supply, while the commoner varieties
are scarce. Most of the orchid grow-
ers are getting a magnificent cut now,
both of cattleya and phalenopsis, with
a few of the other varieties. White
phalenopsis, it is expected, will replace
some of the valley, which is scarce and
rapidly growing scarcer. Gardenias are
coming in fairly well and their quality
is fine. There are enough good Amer-
ican Beauty roses for all requirements,
but the general cut of other roses is
light, the Chinese and Japanese grow-

much firmness in prices for ordinary
stock. Good violets are scarce, most
of those that escape frost being water-

The Florists’ Review

JaNuARY 20, 1916.

of the Pacific Coast Horticultural So-
ciety, held January 8, was the annual
election of officers. Eric James, who
was nominated for president, expressed
the desire to withdraw in favor of
H. Plath, incumbent, but was _pre-
vailed upon to accept the office. The
secretary cast the ballot of the society
for Mr. James. The other officers are:
Vice-president, Thomas Fenton; record-
ing secretary, W. A. Hofinghoff; finan-
cial secretary, H. Maier; treasurer,
J. A. Axell; trustee, John McLaren;
librarian, Prof. Gregg; ushers, Messrs.
Raymond and Pos. The vote on the
flower show committee resulted in the
election of Messrs. Plath, MacRorie, D.
McLaren, Pelicano, Maier, Taylor, Kit-
tlewell, Gill, Rossi and Podesta. The
new officers were then formally in-
talled, and the retiring president, Mr.
Plath, was given a rising vote of thanks
for his conscientious service to the so-
ciety during his term of office.

Next in importance was the discus-
sicn of life membership, the committee,
consisting of Messrs. MacRorie and
James, reporting in favor of a fee of
$25, of which $20 should go to a sink-
ing fund. As members wanted further
enlightenment as to what the fund was
to ‘‘sink,’’? that matter was referred
back to the committee. A motion es-
tablishing life membership on payment
of a fee of $25 was passed. President
Daniel MacRorie, of the S. A. F., was
the first to pay the life membership
fee, putting it down immediately on
passage of the motion.

An interesting announcement was
made by Mr. James, to the effect that
there are now 105 members of the so-
ciety as members in good standing of
the 8S. A. F., entitling the Pacific Coast
Horticultural Society to official repre-
sentation in the national body.

Action was taken with a view to in-
creased social activity in the society
for the new year. Owing to Mr.
Keegan’s success in getting up a smoker
last month, it was suggested that he be
authorized to repeat the performance
every few months, a committee was
appointed to look into the matter. A
committee was appointed to decide on
the advisability of holding a dance in
the near future.

The evening’s exhibits included a
hybrid odontoglossum in a 6-inch pot,
awarded 99 points; four sprays of
white phalenopsis, by the MacRorie-
McLaren Co., 98 points; three schizan-
thus plants, by F. Pelicano, 85 points.

The Ladies’ Auxiliary of the Pacific
Coast Horticultural Society gave a so-
cial on the evening of January 6, at
the home of Mrs. H. Plath, and not-

The Market.

This column could be more .appropri-
ately headed ‘‘The Weather,’’ for the
worst storm since 1909 visited Portland
last week and brought business nearly
to a standstill. A snowfall of 9%
inches, accompanied by a strong wind
which wafted low temperatures from
the snow-capped Cascade mountains,
caused the trouble. The official ther-
mometer up to the time of this writing
has registered a minimum of 16 degrees,
but in various exposed sections a record
of several degrees lower was unoffi-
cially reported. So far no damage has
resulted, except to the fuel piles.

The severe weather brought on an
epidemic of colds and croup, and the
death rate was increased so that there
was an unusually large quantity of fu-
neral work, with no more than suffi-
cient stock to meet it. Carnations, roses
and valley were scarce. Violets could
hardly be had at all, as the Calfornia
crop was affected by frost and the local
growers cut but few bunches.. Paper
Whites, Romans, freesias and other
bulbous stock were fairly plentiful, or
the shortage of blooms would have been
serious.

Various Notes.

The preliminary plans for the 1916
festival center have been completed
and accepted by the festival board of
governors. Julius Dossche, of the com-
mittee on exhibitions of the Portland
Floral Society, has been appointed as-
sistant to J. O. Convill, who is in
charge of the festival center.

Great satisfaction is expressed over
the act of government officials in open-
ing several thousand acres of land in
the Cascade reservation for public use.
The tract lies along the Columbia river
canyon and is accessible from the
Columbia highway. The act was the
result of the efforts of the Portland
Chamber of Commerce and it adds a
large area of scenic territory to the
tracts already donated to public uses
in the same region. 8. W. Ww.

TENDERS TO THE GOVERNMENT.

The law requires the public opening
of bids on government supplies, but
with the tenders of the seeds to be
used for the congressional distribu-
tion the custom is to give as little
publicity as possible and still ‘comply
with the law. The fear apparently is
that the market will be affected. The
name of the bidder, the kind of seed
and the price—so much is read and no
more. The quantity offered is with-
held. No one is permitted to exam-
ine the bids or to correct his notes.

CHICAGO

WOMAN VERSUS MYSTERY

We were last talking with the Mov-
ing Picture Star. She is a wonderful
success and greatly admired; very few
of her admirers realize the hard work
she does, the terrible risks she has to
take in her work; in one play she is
scantily clad, she dashes down the snow
covered mountains, plunges into an ice-
covered lake, and does some rescue
work; her attendants are ready with
woolen blankets and fur robes to wrap
her up, to save her from one moment’s
unnecessary exposure; her life is at
stake; if the picture is a failure in one
point she must do all the work over
and take the chances again and again
until she makes good, or down she goes
with the list of failures. I say again
painful struggle and untiring efforts are
absolutely necessary to meet the re-
quirements to make a success. Work,
enthusiasm, inspiration plus perspiration
all go in the grind to make the wheels
of prosperity go around. I know it.

When I started in business I had very

little money, but that caused no worry,
for I knew if I was given a chance I
would do my best, and be a success to
those who coéperated with me. I knew
how to buy, I knew where to buy equal
to the best in the trade and knew I
could deliver the goods, but, thank
Heaven, I boarded the ‘‘Fast Flier’’
of GO TO IT that gets you there, and I
never dropped off either. And I’ll stick
to the finish. Deliver the goods, treat

your customers right, and you can’t go
wrong. And our skirts are not a cover
for business, they are—well—

We are booking orders now for Cala-
diums and Cannas; last year we had a
big shortage to worry about, so get
ready.

The Florists’ Review

You might ride all day long among our test plots, and would yet have as much again to see.

If any seed will grow, Sutton’s will -- you

can depend on High Germination and
be sure they are True to Name.

OU can depend on Sutton’s Seeds, be-
cause Sutton & Sons test their seeds
more exactingly than anyone else.

This is not a bragging statement. Those
of you who have visited our plant at
Reading, England, and ridden along our
miles and miles of test plots, know all
this full well.

From every single batch of seeds we re-

ceive we grow a test, to check up germina-
tion, quality and trueness to name.

It’s an expensive method, but it’s the
only way our hundred years in the busi-
ness have proven to us is sure.

Our 1916 catalogue contains 190 pages.
In it you will find many fine, new things,
and many things long known over here,
but yet little known in your country.

If you are in search of unusual things
to liven up your sales, send us 36c for the
catalogue. We will return this amount to
you with your first purchase of $5.00.

One of the recent purchases of the
State Nursery Co. was an entire crop of
Grimm alfalfa. Concerning this pur-
chase, F. B. Carpenter, county agricul-
tural agent, made the following state-
ment: ‘‘The purchase by the State
Nursery Co. of Dr. W. M. Williams’ en-
tire crop of 3,232 pounds of Grimm al-
falfa seed brings the merit of this va-
riety of alfalfa under wide discussion.
In 1857 Wendelin Grimm brought over
from the duchy of Baden, Germany,
about twenty pounds of what he called
‘everlasting clover.’ He settled in
Carver county, Minn., and in the spring
of 1858 planted this seed. The variety
proved unusually hardy, withstanding
severe winters and long, dry spells bet-

The hardiness of the plant is due to its
sunken crown and its extensive root
system. For the last ten years the su-
periority of Grimm alfalfa has been
well known, but the seed was difficult
to obtain. At the present time Dr. W.
M. Williams, of Harlem, is one of the
few producers of this kind of seed in

Goetz’s Best Yet

We especially recommend this new
forcer as the vest yet introduced.
For forcing under glass it has no
equal; as a producer it stands alone
at the top of the forcing list. The
fruit is smooth, large, bright red.
Ripens all over at once; an ex-
tremely early setter. The skin is
firm, but still thin, making it an
ideal shipper. Goetz’s Best Yet
is offered to all who desire some-

to say that seeds have ninety-nine per

The H. H. Gordinier & Sons Co., of

as problematical, some of the growers
finding it more profitable to grow a

house is hedging on prices, but it is a
difficult matter to have the customer

Thirty-ninth annual issue of ‘‘The Maule Seed
Book,’’ containing 176 good-sized pages, fully
illustrated. ‘The book starts with thirteen pages
of vegetable specialties, ‘‘not all new sorts, but

seeds, occupying nearly 100 pages, and last are
the flower seeds, bulbs, plants and nursery stock.

W. W. Johnson & Son, Ltd., Boston, England.
—tTrade catalogue of flower, vegetable and farm
seeds; ninety large pages, clearly printed on
enameled paper and excellently illustrated. For

end of the book, following the general lists, seed
potatoes and root seeds are featured.

Black’s Seeds, Albert Lea, Minn.—A catalogue
of vegetable, flower, farm and grass seeds, poul-
try supplies, etc.; thirty-two pages, with no
illustrations.

Tue death of Abner Branson, of New

this week’s obituary column.

Wituiam A. PETERSON, proprietor of
Peterson Nursery, was reélected a direc-
tor of the big State Bank of Chicago at
the annual meeting last week.

Tue Elkon Nursery Co., Huntsville,

is E. Elkon, who until recently has been

FLORIDA NURSERYMEN PROTEST.

A petition signed by a number of
nurserymen of Florida has been sent to
the state’s plant board, protesting
against the rules on canker-infected
zones. The petition reads as follows:

We, the undersigned, growers of ornamental
and flowering shrubs, plants, vines and non-citrus
trees, present this petition to the plant board of
the state of Florida for its earnest consideration
and decision, as follows:

We ask an amendment or change in the rule in
which a canker zone is declared, which will
permit growers of ornamental and flowering
shrubs, plants, vines and non-citrus trees who
are in a zone the same privilege to sell their
stock as the citrus fruit growers and market
gardeners in the same zone enjoy; provided that
their stock is found by the inspectors to be free
from all injurious insects, pests and diseases.

In support of the above article we respectfully
present for your consideration the following rea-
sons:

That an undue hardship is placed on the nurs-
erymen affected; also on the growers who desire
to replace destroyed citrus trecs with ornamental
and flowering shrubs, plants, vines and non-
citrus trees.

Your present ruling destroys a profitable in-
dustry and does not permit the grower to attempt
to cover his loss.

At present, only one non-citrus nursery—hav-
ing avocado and mango nursery stock—is outside
the quarantine area. Hence under the present
ruling, we are unable to develop groves to re-
place the ones destroyed.

If ornamental and flowering shrubs, vines and
non-citrus trees before leaving a zone were
sprayed with the regular bichloride solution the
danger of carrying citrus canker would be no more
than it is from your inspectors—and your in-
spectors claim there is none—and the danger
would be far less than from the fruits and vege-
tables under present ruling which are sold in
our local market from infected groves into non-
infected territory.

George T. Boucher reports a continu-
ance of the good business which started
at Christmas. He had a fine display
of heather in his window, together with
a good assortment of bulbous plants.

Henry P. Neun reports satisfactory
business. He is cutting some fine
stevia at his greenhouses. This is a
great help at this time, owing to
scarcity of the finer flowers.

A pretty window display was seen
at Wilson’s last week, consisting of
delicate combinations of yellow, pink
and lavender flowers in baskets tied
with chiffons of the same colors. A
canopy effect of yellow and lavender
chiffon was drooped from the top of
the window.

THE WM. MURPHY CO., 329 Main Street, Cincinnati, Ohio

FORT WAYNE, IND.

The Market.

Business was exceedingly active last
week, but there was marked scarcity of
cut flowers, notably roses and carna-
tions. This shortage has been due to
the exceptionally low temperature, the
thermometer registering at times sev-
eral degrees below the zero mark. The
weather has been dark, with only an oc-
casional day of sunshine, and the flo-
rists are forced to pick the carnations
when only half open. The conditions
regarding roses are only a little better.
The smaller flowers have not been so
vitally affected by the weather.

Spencer sweet peas are arriving in
fine quantities and they are of excel-
lent quality. Violets are pléntiful.
Cattleyas are more plentiful than they
were the week previous. (Lilies are in
good supply and a variety of spring
flowers are appearing on the market, in-
cluding Golden Spur narcissi, freesias,
tulips, jonquils, antirrhinums, pansies,
primulas and Paper Whites. There also
are a few daisies and forget-me-nots.
Lilacs are selling well, mostly for
corsage work. Killarneys are the most
plentiful of the roses, but many of them
are off color because of the dark
weather. Shawyers are next in num-
bers. The yellow varieties are in good
supply, such as Sunburst, Hillingdon and

ard.

The demand for funeral work last
week was heavy. Decorations for large
receptions have been numerous and
corsage work has been proportionately
heavy, while there has been a big call
for loose flowers for the hospitals.
Adiantum and smilax are rather scarce,
but there is a good supply of Aspara-
gus plumosus and Sprengeri.

Various Notes.

Miss Mildred Flick spent last week at
Toledo, O., the guest of her aunts, Miss
C. B. Flick and Miss Helen Patten, of
the Patten Flower Shop.

The Doswell Floral Co. is cutting fine
Spencer sweet peas and single violets.
This company is experiencing a great
shortage of carnations at present and
the roses are in almost the same condi-
tion.

The Flick Floral Co. has been busy
with large funeral orders.

A. J. Lanternier & Son have been
showing an excellent line of blooming
plants.

The Fort Wayne Flower Shop, which
recently closed its doors at 828 Calhoun
street, has rented a store room several
doors north of its previous location.
This store has been remodeled to suit
its needs and a fine show window has
been installed.

BUFFALO.

The Market.

The demand for flowers since the
first of the year has been exceptionally
good—the trouble is to get the stock.
Instead of increased stock after the
holidays, the conditions are reversed
this year. There certainly is no chance
for anyone to complain, as everything
in the shape of a flower sells at a good
price. Everyone from the grower to
the retailer is getting his share.

Beauties are fine and scarce; other
varieties also are scarce. Killarney is
somewhat pale in some instances, but
it sells readily. There seems to be
much funeral work at present and all
kinds of roses are necessary. Carna-
tions have not caught up yet. The
growers are in hopes of more sunshine
in the near future. Single violets are
not so plentiful, but they are much in
demand. Double violets are sufficient
and sell well. Sweet peas, jonquils,
narcissi and freesias are clearing rap-
idly. Mignonette is much in demand
and good stock can be had. Yellow
daisies are in evidence and orchids are
plentiful. Cypripediums and gardenias
are experiencing a-great demand.

Greens of all kinds are clearing fast.
Croweanum and asparagus are selling

nicely.
_ Various Notes.

Mr. and Mrs. Herman Ehmann, of
Corfu, were in town last week.

Friends of Edward Walthers regret
to hear of the death of his oldest
daughter.

At Palmer’s branch store last week
general business was a little dull, but
there was an unusual quantity of fu-
neral work. This company made a
bride’s bouquet of 300 valley and

SAN FRANCISCO NOTES.
[Continued from page 60.]

withstanding the wet and disagreeable
weather the affair was a success. There
were nearly thirty present, including
quite a number who came from a con-
siderable distance across the bay and
down the peninsula, and all felt well
repaid for their journey.
Various Notes.

Dr. Parker, the Santa Cruz orchid
grower, made a special trip to San
Francisco to attend the meeting of the
Pacific Coast Horticultural Society. He
states that he had a large crop of
orchids last season and cleaned them
out by the close of the year.

The MacRorie-McLaren Co. did a big
shipping business in phalenopsis during
the holidays, besides supplying quite a
lot of stock to the local trade. The
company now has several large houses
coming on and the cut is beginning to
come in well. The stock includes some
good oncidiums.

Angelo J. Rossi, of Pelicano, Rossi &
Co., has been elected treasurer of the
Downtown Association, in which he has
always taken ‘a prominent part.

N. Peterson, of the Peninsula Nurs-
ery, is bringing in a nice cut of carna-
tions and his stock is in strong demand
by the first-class trade, bringing a
premium above the regular market. His
stock of rooted cuttings is showing up
well and many orders from nearby
growers have already been received.

Alfred Hammersmith, a salesman at
Joseph’s, has the sympathy of his nu-
merous friends in the death of his
mother last week.

Mrs. Brett is a new member of the
sales force at Joseph’s.

Mark Ebel, of Sacramento, says
there has been quite a lot of snow
there since Christmas. He reports a
good business, both in funeral and
other work. He says the. camellias,
which are popular at Sacramento, are
now blooming in great shape.

The Florists’ Review

JANUARY 20, 1916.

KANSAS CITY.

The Market.

Business was up to expectations last
week, The supply, however, fell far
short of the 5 A Funeral work
was heavy and caused the big demand
for stock. Pot plants sell well and in
most cases take the place of the high
priced cut. flowers. From reports the
cut of carnations will be heavy next
week and bulbous stock, too, will be in
larger supply. Roses are at a premium;
some exceptionally fine stock of these
was seen. The supply of carnations in-
creased slightly. The supply of lilies
and stevia slackened somewhat, but
violets, sweet peas and bulbous stock
were plentiful. There was a good de-
mand for bulbous plants.

Various Notes.

The zero weather that was with us all
the week made it hard for delivery, but
there was more sunshine, which helped
to make the cut flower end look better,
as every grower reported an increase in
the cut during the last of the week.

E. H. Frandsen, of Independence,
met with bad luck. Trouble in the
heating system caused by the low tem-
perature resulted in the loss of a house
of sweet peas and part of two houses
of carnations.

Jacob Hepting is cutting over 1,000
carnations a day. He reports business
better than ever.

Harry Smith is sending in some ex-
cellent sweet peas. The stems are
about a foot long and there are several
flowers on each stem.

Adolph Mohr is getting ready for
spring trade. He has about 25,000 gera-
nium plants in 2-inch pots. He also
has a number of Cincinnati and Lor-
raine begonia cuttings ready to pot.

T. J. Noll reports a scarcity of stock.
““Not enough to fill the orders,’’ he
says. Roses especially are a scarce
item.

I have at last succeeded in securing
the name of Henry Kusik’s better half.
It was Miss Anna Surma, of New York.

The Rosery reports business good and
plenty of funeral orders. The place is
now being filled with bedding plants
for the spring trade.

J. Stevens is cutting about 5,000 car-
nations daily and obtains a fair price
for them. He expects to grow about
100,000 carnation plants in the field
next summer. He has almost 9,000
lily plants for Easter.

Xr. and Mrs. Arthur Newell have
left the city to spend a week at Ex-
celsior Springs.

William Foith has a big crop of car-
nations in bloom. He reports a big
business in funeral work. Basket trade
has been good.

J. B. Masson is resting his rose crop
for a large Easter cut. He says that
Kaiserin and similar varieties pay him
better than the other kinds.

Arthur Zirkman, of the M. Rice Co.,
Philadelphia, was in town displaying
his line of chiffons and florists’ sup-
plies. W. J. B.

Greenhouse Heating.

TOO MUCH NIGHT FIRING.

Kindly give me your opinion on the
following heating problem: The pres-
ent system is arranged for low-pres-
sure steam, but it requires too much
attention during the night and the tem-
perature is too fluctuating. As I do all
my own work and attend to the firin
at night, I thought that it might be a
good idea to change to hot water, using
2-inch returns. Do you think it advis-
able to use a mercury generator? I
have made several inquiries in refer-
ence to a generator, but have been ad-
vised not to invest in one.

I am enclosing a sketch of my
house, which is of Lord & Burnham
semi-iron construction and runs’ east and
west. It is 30x200 and fifteen feet
high to the ridge. The side walls are
five feet four and one-half inches high
and contain thirty inches of glass above
a concrete base. The boiler is at the
west end of the house, in a pit eight
feet deep. It is a Lord & Burnham
steam boiler, No. 840. The piping con-
sists of a 4-inch overhead main and
nine 14-inch returns. All the piping
must be arranged along the side walls
and outer columns, owing to the use of
ground beds. Kindly let me know how
many mains and returns will be re-
quired, and of what size, for a hot
water system. I wish to use the same
boiler, with the steam trimmings taken
off. I have been using pea coal for
fuel. W. M—N. Y.

We would not expect to keep up a
temperature of more than 50 degrees in
a house 30x200, with thirty inches of
glass in each wall, by means of a 4-inch
main and nine 14-inch returns, using
low-pressure steam, in zero weather.
Two additional returns would be need-
ed for 55 degrees.

It would have been easier to keep up
steam at night if run-of-mine or steam
lump coal had been used, with pea coal
for banking the fires at night. How-
ever, the work of night firing is greatly
lessened, except in places large enough
to warrant employing a regular night
fireman, if hot water is used as the
heating medium.

For the house described, we would
put in a second 4-inch flow pipe and
would carry the flows on the center
rows of posts, eight or nine feet from
the ground. The pipes should have a
slight fall away from the boiler and
l-inch pipes should connect the highest
point of each main with the expansion

THE HEATING PROBLEM SOLVED

Judging strictly according te mechanical merits, it's
the METROPOLITAN PATENTED BOILER you want.

~

Because of their proves scientifically perfect con-
struction, ber gi gone n Patented Boilers will heat a
alae amount 0 waler quicker, with less fuel and
less attention than any other boiler on the market.

The remarkable heating efficiency and quick
steaming qualities of these boilers are due to their
large and effective heating surface.

Just a few points of Metropolitan Patented Boiler
merit:—Smooth, perfect finished castings. Push nip-
ple connections. Large fire

service. And above all, they are Fuel Saving, not
Fuel Wasting.

We also make soft coal boilers which are smoke-
less, and save 50 per cent in coal.

water systems, and may be used to ad-
vantage under the following circum-
stances: First, when the amount of
radiation is too small to maintain the
desired temperature with an open-tank
system, in occasional cold periods; sec-
ond, when the size of the pipes, either
flows or returns, is too small for the
length of the house; third, in cases
where it is not possible to place the
return coils above the top of the heater;
fourth, as may be seen from the fore-
going statements, when it is desirable,
in order to lessen the first cost of the
system, to reduce the size or number of
the pipes, or both, below what would
be necessary with an open-tank system.

The use of a mercury generator makes
it possible, virtually, to place the water
in the system under pressure and thus
raise the boiling point so that it will
be as warm as low-pressure steam, or
even warmer. This has a tendency to
increase, to the extent of ten to twen-
ty-five per cent, the expenditure for
fuel, and, since the increase in the tem-
perature may only be obtained when
the water is heated above that in an
open-tank system, it will require about
the same attention in the way of firing
as a low-pressure steam system if the
full benefit of the generator is obtained.

The use of a mercury generator, or
some other method of placing a hot wa-
ter system under pressure, seems to be
entirely logical and especially helpful
in sections where the winter tempera-
ture is fairly even, but where once or
twice during the winter, for a day or
two at a time, it may drop 10, 20 or
even 30 degrees below the usual mini-
mum. In such a case, instead of go-

to heat the house in ordinary winter
weather, and then by connecting a mer-
cury generator it would be possible to
withstand the coldest weather.

By putting in a by-pass when install-
ing the generator, the piping may be
used as an open-tank system, but in a
minute’s time the water may be placed
under pressure. The extra labor of
firing and the additional cost of the
fuel will, if anything, be less than would
be required for maintaining a forced
circulation with an open-tank system,
while there will be a considerable
saving in the first cost of the system.

BRAMPTON, ONT.

The Market.

The demand for stock is exceedingly
heavy, but, unfortunately, everything
was cut so.glosely at the holiday season
that everyone has to go short, in roses
particularly. In other years the bulb-
ous stock proved of great assistance to
growers at this time of the year, but
as there is only a small percentage of
bulbs flowering this season, the market
is séverely handicapped in consequence.
On their arrival in the fall, the bulbs
appeared to be above the usual stand-
ard, but something serious must have
happened to them shortly after they
were taken out of the ground, and the
results so far seem to augur unfavor-
ably for all concerned.

Orchids continue in strong favor and
large quantities are being cut every
day. Violets also find a ready sale at
$1.50 per hundred for first-class stock.

Various Notes.

Several of the old- benches at the
Dale Estate have been demolished, and
new ones erected in their places. The
entire propagating department has been
altered in this fashion. Cold weather
has set in for the first time this season
and the temperature reached 8 degrees
below zero last week. Men continue
to leave their work to join the various
new regiments being formed, and the
problem of labor apparently is going
to be a troublesome one in the early
spring. W:.'G; -P;

Even the little “lean-to’’ greenhouses
such as the one illustrated above, which
we built at Plandome, Long Island, are
planned and erected with the greatest
care, as they require all the fine details
that make for the successful operation
of the professional growers’ structures.

The reputation we have gained for
fast. work is only to be eaualed by our
reputation for fine work, and the par-
ticular feature of our service is, that we
can give both at the same time.

DIRT BANDS—Experience in Using Them

Gentlemen: In reply to your query would state
that I planted seedling stock plants and snap-
dragon cuttings in the first lot of bands that I
received from you early in January.

We took some of these out and planted them
where they are to remain about the 15th of
February. They made GOOD GROWTH while
in the bands, and transplanted AS THOUGH they
had never been moved at all.

I have now about 14,000 carnation plants
started in 2-in. bands which are making a RAPID
GROWTH, scarcely losing a plant in transplant-
ing from the sand.

also have about 20,000 aster plants trans-
planted in 2-in. bands which can stay there till
time to plant out of doors WITHOUT FEAR OF
BECOMING ROOT BOUND, as would be the case
if I used 2-in. pots. }

Plants SELDOM BECOME ROOT BOUND
to injure them IN THE DIRT BANDS
and REQUIRE NEAR THE AMOUNT
OF ATTENTION that a pot plant does, in water-
ing, shifting, transplanting, etc.

I make my bands and set them in flats, as I
make them up, each flat holding 117.

When we get crowded indoors it takes but a
short time to move the flats to a cold frame,
waere br harden them off before setting them in

e field.

One man can set MORE THAN ANOTHER
TIME AS MANY (twice as many) plants in the
field from these bands and flats than he can from
pots, and after he is through DOES NOT HAVE
THE BOTHER OF GATHERING UP, CLEAN-
ING, and STORING AWAY A-LOT OF POTS.

believe anyone — these bands ONCB
WILL BECOME A REGULAR CUSTOMER.
Yours truly,
H. B. Weaver.

Mr. Weaver grows carnations, mignonette,
sweet peas, asters, etc. He ordered 5,000 Dirt
Bands the first year, 60,000 the second year, and
70,000 last year.

Gentlemen: * * * We would say that we
used all the Paper Pots we got from you to raise
tomato plants.

Our weather is often very severe late in May,
therefore we have to keep them inside and we
were eertainly very satisfied with the splendid
results obtained from the Paper Pots.

In fact, WE DID NOT HAVE HALF ENOUGH
TO FILL OUR ORDERS. WE CHARGED EX-
ACTLY TWICE THE AMOUNT we did other
years and yet our CUSTOMERS INSISTED ON
HAVING THOSE IN PAPER POTS.

In our hot sun they never wilted.

We reserved a few for Primulas and certainly
have some fine ones.

It was easier to keep them watered and grow-
ing during the hot months.

Wishing you success.

Yours truly,

Gentlemen: I used some of your Paper Pots
last spring, which were highly satisfactory.

I grew Roses, Salvias, Verbenas, Petunias and
Geraniums in the Paper Pots for retail trade.

THEY NEARLY DOUBLED MY SALES.

I always had fine thrifty plants to send out and
I delivered them in the pots, which insured them
reaching my patrons in good condition.

I never had a complaint of flowers dying or
wilting.

I buy some of my plants, which I set right in
the pots.

They are ready for delivery within a few days.

When plants are set out there is no collecting
pots or watering to be done.

I intend to use them altogether next season.

Yours very truly,
Mrs. W. T. Barber.

The Florists’ Review

JANUARY 20, 1916.

TARRYTOWN, N. Y.

The seventeenth annual dinner of the
Tarrytown Horticultural Society was
held at the Florence Inn, January 11,
and was in every way equal to any of
the former delightful affairs given by
the society. At 7:30 Secretary E. W.
Neubrand announced that dinner was
ready. The feast was served in one
and one-half hours, so that by 9 o’clock
all was ready for the speechmaking,
which is a feature of these dinners.

The members of the society and the
guests were welcomed by President
Featherstone, who pointed out that his
position was not an enviable one, for
he had three clergymen on his right
and an undertaker on his left, while
he himself represented the cemetery.
Frank R. Pierson was the first one
called upon. He supplemented the wel-
come of President Featherstone and
spoke of the society. He said that he
had seen many flower shows last year,
but none better than the one at Tarry-
town. The society has 207 members
and $2,380 in its permanent fund. Last
year it paid out $776 in premiums.

After Mr. Pierson’s address the
toastmaster read letters of regret from
J. Austin Shaw, J. A. Young and
others. Dr. Carroll Dunham, of Irving-
ton, the next speaker, gave an interest-
ing talk on plants and trees. Mr.
Dunham was followed by W. R. Bull,
who gave many ‘‘pleasant words.’’ Mr.
Bull, in speaking of Tarrytown’s
wealth, referred to Mr. Pierson ’s beau-
tiful flower shop. He said he brought
a shrewd New Englander over one day
to look at it and when he explained
what it was, the New Englander re-
plied: ‘‘Well, there must be a lot of
easy guys around here.’’

The speechmaking continued until
11:30, when everybody joined in ‘‘ Auld
Lang Syne.’’ The evening was voted
one of the most enjoyable affairs the
society has ever held.

The Market.

Trade was heavy last week, with fu-
neral work in the lead. Stock is scarce
and carnations have set a new record
for high prices. The stock that does
arrive is good in quality and is cleaned
up early every day; there is no possible
chance for a surplus. Roses have slack-
ened in supply, but the demand is
heavy and they are cleaned up daily.
Beauty has been a scarce article and
the prices have been high. It is risky
to take any advance orders for
Beauties.

Narcissi have been helping out won-
derfully in funeral work ahd great
quantities of them are disposed of at
good prices. Jonquils are scarce and
the few that come in are picked up
early. Romans are moving nicely,
principally in funeral pieces. Lilies
have been scarce, both calla and
Easter, and the demand has been quite
heavy. Sweet peas have fallen off in
quantity and there are not enough of
them to go the rounds. Violets are
meeting with a good sale. Valley is
cleaned up quickly. A few tulips are
making their appearance and are soon
disposed of. Potted plants are moving
nicely.
Various Notes.

The Florists’ Social Club held a
Dutch lunch at the residence of O. A.
Munk, January 17. The club has been
having several affairs and reports good
times and good attendances.

The Columbus Floral Co. reports
stock scarce and everything sold out
early.

Frank C. Vierick has moved to a
new location at 150 East State street.

The Livingston Seed Co. says its buy-

ness. Mrs. Stephens is getting along

The Market.

There is a pronounced shortage of
flowers on this market. All lines seem
to have been affected by the cold
weather and receipts are below actual
requirements.

The cut of roses fell off greatly at
the end of last week. Relatively speak-
ing, carnations are in fair supply, but
many more could be used to advan-
tage. Easter lilies, too, are short, as
well as valley. The latter meets with
a good demand. Double violets are
fairly plentiful and the sweet pea sup-
ply shows signs of improvement. Other
offerings include Paper White narcissi,
daffodils, callas, freesias, single violets
and orchids. Greens are plentiful.

Various Notes.

C. E. Critchell, J. A. Peterson and
R. Witterstaetter expect to go to St.
Louis for the American Carnation So-
ciety meeting. Max Rudolph, Henry

may go.

DON’T TAKE ANY CHANCES

There is no need of you, Mr. Florist, taking any chances if you feed the
‘‘Magic Way.”’

One plant food will not do for all plants and vegetables. A strong man
can’t thrive on the food that a weak man can.

Therefore, each distinct plant you are growing needs a special plant food, if
you are to obtain the most cuttings and the best quality.

Tell us what you are growing, and how much bench space you devote to

The Florists’ Review

JANUARY. 20, 1916;

GLEN COVE, N. Y.

A well attended meeting of the
Nassau County Horticultural Society
was held at Pembroke hall, Glen Cove,
January 12, at 2 p. m., president James
MacDonald presiding. Chairman Ernest
Brown, of the dinner committee, re-
ported that all arrangements for the
annual dinner had been completed. The
dinner will be given at the Oriental
hotel, Glen Cove, January 25, at
6:30 p. m.

A communication was received from
M. C. Ebel, secretary of the National
Association of Gardeners, offering on
behalf of that body to supply the so-
ciety with an essay on some subject of
interest to the profession for each
month of the year, so that the essays
could be read at the monthly meetings.
It was unanimously decided to accept
this generous offer.

The essay received from Mr. Ebel
for this meeting was: ‘‘Is Gardening
a Profession?’’ by W. W. Ohlweiler.
The paper was interesting and the es-
sayist handled his subject in masterly
style. It was thoroughly enjoyed and
appreciated by all present, and if the
society is to consider this essay as a
standard for those which are to follow
we are assured of an interesting an
instructive course of lectures for the
year.

Valentine Cleres, George Hutton and
George Wilson were appointed as judges
of the exhibits and made the follow-
ing awards: Twelve sprays of freesias,
Harry Goodband, first; three poinset-
tias, Robert Jones, first; three heads of
lettuce, Robert Jones, first; plant of
Primula malacoides, exhibited by John
Everitt, cultural certificate. James
Duthie exhibited six plants of Prim-
ula malacoides Townsendii, an improved
form of Primula malacoides, which was
much admired and was awarded a cer-
tificate of merit by the judges. This
orig which originated with Mr.

uthie, forms a more compact plant
than the older type, the individual
florets are much larger and the color is
a@ most distinct and pleasing shade of
pink. Mr. Duthie reports that the seed
of the variety, which he has saved and
sown, comes almost uniformly true to
the type, the percentage reverting to
the old type being so small as to be
almost negligible.

Mr. Johnson, of R. & J. Farquhar &
Co., Boston, and Mr. Earnshaw, of the
Bon Arbor Chemical Co., Paterson,
N. J., were visitors at the meeting.

HYDRANGEAS IN OKLAHOMA.

Are the new French hydrangeas and
Otaksa good for planting out in lawns,
etc. and how hardy are they? If
these are not suitable, what varieties
would you recommend? I want varie-
ties that make large bushes and have
white flowers. Our lowest tempera-
ture is about 12 degrees above zero.

E. W.—Okla.

The French hydrangeas are too ten-
der and would not succeed outdoors in
your locality. H. Otaksa, if well cov-
ered with soil or other material, should
winter satisfactorily. For a really
hardy, pure white hydrangea, which
makes a fine show on the lawn or in
shrubbery, I would suggest trying
Hydrangea arborescens grandiflora
nivea, or the variety Hills of Snow.
These bloom earlier ‘and through a
much longer season than the over-
planted H. pdniculata grandiflers. =

Iola, Kan.—J. W. Primmer says his
business for all of 1915 was entirely
satisfactory. Carnations have been
slow in coming into bloom after the
fall crop and all in the trade in this
section had to buy an unusual quantity
of stock for Christmas, New Year and
later, most of the flowers coming from
the Chicago market.

THE NEW BAND

Not the jingo brass band, nor
the melodious string band, but
the up-to-date RAMSBURG
DIRT BAND.

The use of square dirt bands in
growing plants is no longer a
question of economy or advan-
tage, it simply turns to the point,
“where can I get the best band
for the least money?” If time is
valuable, buy our _ ready-use
bands. If there is spare time for
folding, buy our plain bands.
They are made from special stock
and are scientifically right. Note
low prices and send for free
samples.

one enthusiast puts it.

If you don’t know the valué of
dirt bands begin by putting your
carnation plants into size two or
two and one-half inch. You will
forever sing praises to the square
band. They take care of all plants
just as well, and anything that
grows in a pot will grow better
in a band.

wisi!

The American Carnation Society, organized twenty-five years ago in
Philadelphia, this week held its first convention and exhibition on the west:
bank of the Mississippi, where the quarter-century's wonderful improvement
in the flower was brought home to many patrons of the florists of St. Louts.

HE convention of the
American Carnation Soci-
ety held at St. Louis this
week was the twenty-fifth

annual meeting, but the

® || silver jubilee is not to be

celebrated until March,

when it is to be one of the

features of the National

Flower Show at Philadel-

phia, the city in which the society was

born. No doubt the foreknowledge of

this fact was in large part responsible

for the small eastern representation,

for this was the first time in the organi-

zation’s quarter-century of active work

that it has met so far west as the
banks of the Mississippi.

Then, too, the state of the cut flower
markets, in which for a month it has
been impossible to procure all the car-
nations required,
had the effect of
somewhat reducing
the size of the ex-
hibition, but noth-
ing could obscure
the fact that since
the society’s birth
its flower has ad-
vanced from the
plebeian position of
the ‘‘pink’’ to the
place where some
of us exalt it by
calling it ‘‘divine.’’
It certainly is a far
ery from’ Heinze’s
White .to Matchless,
from Daybreak to
Pink Sensation,
from Portia to Ju-
bilee and then to
Champion.

Public Appreciative.

One of the chief
benefits of the cus-
tom of moving the
meeting from city
to city is that in
the course of time
a large section of
the public comes to
know, and to de-
mand, the carnation
at its best. The
admission of the
public during cer-
tain hours of the
exhibition seldom
fails to produce a
prompt effect on
the character of the
demand in that city

der one roof, the famous Planters hotel.

Of recent years quality rather than
size has been the predominant feature
of the shows of the American Carna-
tion Society. As the quality of the
exhibits has advanced the size of the
show has come down a little, the gen-
eral growers as a rule not caring to
compete with the specialists. And cer-
tainly the St. Louis show was of high
quality—if carnation blooms have been
searce thus far in 1916 they have at
least been good.

Dominant Varieties.

Again this week the predominance
of the flesh pink class was apparent.
It seems that for some years the rais-
ers of seedlings have been using En-
chantress, with the result that, just as
flesh pink is the most abundant on the
market, so is that
color most in evi-
dence among the
varieties on the ex-
hibition table. But
there is no one va-
riety that stands
head and shoulders
above the rest. The
average grower still
uses Enchantress as
his chief variety,
but the specialists,
the men who grow
for quality, use
something else,
some one, some an-
other, though man
favor Pink Delight.

In whites Match-
less stands out as
the finest sort for
the exhibition table
and, therefore, for
the quality trade,
whatever the less
painstaking growers
may think of it asa
money-maker. Mrs,
C. W. Ward has a
long lead in its eol-
or; there is no me-
dium pink to touch
it. Gorgeous is the
quality dark pink,
with Rosette the
quantity growers’
favorite. Champion
is the finest red of
the older sorts, with
Pita? the most
generally grown
but this year might
be called the year

of the reds and scarlets.
three candidates for this year’s orders
and another in line for 1917. Of the
reds coming out this year each has
points that win friends: Belle Wash-
burn, shown by Bassett & Washburn,
Chicago, has been seen at, many recent
shows and at the Buffdio convention
of a year ago was a medal winner. It
grades asa fancy. Not so large in size,
but excellent in color, was Aviator,
shown by the J. D. Thompson Carnation
Co., Joliet, Ill. Nebraska, from C. H.
Frey Co., of Lincoln, is one of the
few varieties from west of the Missouri
that has successfully invaded the east.
John Then, of Chicago, staged the un-
named red seedling that attracted so
much favorable attention when exhib-
ited at the Chicago show in November.
Among several good things from Mt.
Greenwood Cemetery, Morgan Park, IIl.,
was a red seedling, which won a first
over Champion.

Other New Varieties.

Chief of the Cottage Gardens novel-
ties was Cottage Maid, although the
knowing ones who attended the Cleve-
land show asked first of all for Crystal
White. The latter is an improved
Matchless! But its dissemination is for
the future. Cottage Maid is a clear
shell pink sport of Mrs. C. W. Ward,
identical, apparently, in all respects
save color. This variety is to be dis-
seminated next season and is so well
liked in the New York market, where
the blooms have been offered in in-
creased quantities each season for sev-
eral years, that the exhibitor antici-
pates for it an unusually large demand.
It is the variety that won the award

for best condition at the end of the
Cleveland show. ;

F. Dorner & Sons Co., La Fayette,
Ind., had three varieties that are to be
figured with so soon that they attracted
much attention. First of these was
Nancy, a new claimant in the salmon
pink class, a little darker than Pink
Delight and notable for its evenness
in color. The introducers state that
their reason for putting this on the
market this season, with a limited stock,
is to make room for two others next
winter, one a cerise pifik, the other an
improved yellow. In addition, the
Dorner concern also showed a number of
seedlings that are under test.

The E. G, Hill Co., Richmond, Ind.,
staged Alice Coombs, a flesh pink a
little deeper in color than Gloriosa. It
was raised by Albert Roper, of Tewks-
bury, Mass., who showed it at Buffalo
last year and sent a part of his stock
to the Indiana grower to be propagated
for joint dissemination.

Guttman & Raynor, Inc., of New
York, staged several vases for the grow-
ers whom it represents. Laura Weber,
being disseminated this season, is quite
well known, having been exhibited
many times. It originated with and is
being grown by Charles Weber, of Lyn-
brook, N. Y. It is in the salmon pink
class. The flower is large, well formed
and borne erect on strong stems. An-
other variety staged by this exhibitor
was Peace, a white seedling raised by
Frank Dinda, of Farmingdale, L. I.
Both these varieties were in good shape
considering their long journey.

The Awards.
Although the eastern representation

was not numerous, each man brought
some flowers and the way they cleaned
up“'the prizes, after their blooms had
traveled from 1,000 to 1,300'miles, made
the western growers open their eyes.
The Cottage Gardens Co., C. 8. Strout,
Ernest Saunders, 8S. J. Goddard and
others from the east have reason to be
proud of the showing their blooms
made.

CARNATION YELLOWS.

{A paper by George L. Peltier, of the Depart-
ment of Floriculture, University of Illinois, read
before the American Carnation Society at its
meeting at St. Louis, January 26, 1916.]

A study of carnation yellows was un-
dertaken at the Illinois experiment sta-
tion in 1912, when little or no attention
was given to this disease by carnation
growers. However, since that time it
has become so serious that it has been
called by a number of carnation growers
one of the most serious diseases with
which we must contend today. Al-
though we have spent some time on
this problem each season for the last
four seasons, the cause of this disease
remains unknown. However, at the
present time we have several promising
clews which may lead to its solution
and control. It is not my intention, in
presenting this paper today, to give
anything new, but to bring this prob-
lem of yellows directly before you and,
together, to go over the situation and
discuss the problem from all stand-
points.

Yellows starts in the young leaves
and is first noticed as small pale green
spots varying in size and shape. On
holding an infected leaf up to the light
the dots are more plainly detected.
These spots become more distinct and
turn yellow, while the tissue beneath
collapses. The trouble is not confined
entirely to the leaves, but in badly in-
fected plants the branches and flower
stems also may be covered with the
yellow, elongated spots.

Three Forms of Yellows.

Apparently: several distinct forms of
yellows can be recognized, which differ
in general appearance and subsequent
behavior. The early stages of the first
type consist of these small dots, scat-
tered irregularly through the leaf. At
first they are a paler green than the sur-
rounding tissue, but distinctly deline-
ated upon it. The spots increase more
or less rapidly until they reach a diam-
eter of one-thirty-second to one-fourth
of an inch. Most of these spots are
approximately circular, but may be ir-
regular in outline, and rarely elongated.
A single leaf may have from one to
fifty or more spots, depending on the
extent of infection. Another charac-
pea ae of this first type is that the
spots do not tend to make the leav
brittle. ae
_ The development of the second form
is similar to the one above, except that
while still in the early stages the spots
unite and become so elongated that a
single spot may be one to two inches
or more in length. On badly infected
leaves these elongated areas run parallel
to the midrib and have a sort of flaky

appearance. The leaves become brittle
and are easily snapped off. In the
later stage the cells beneath the in-
fected areas collapse, the spot becomes
sunken and finally turns brown as the
leaf dies.

A third form may be mentioned here,
which is found only on the colored va-
rieties. Here the spots in the earlier
stages are yellow, but # they grow
older and larger the spots become col-
ored, the intensity depending on the
color of the flower. For example, old
spots on the light pink or scarlet vari-
eties are slightly colored, while in the
dark red varieties the spots are deeply
colored.

Yellows Difficult to Recognize.

Microscopical observations show no
rupture of the leaf surface and with
a lens the bloom on the leaf above the
spots appears to be undisturbed. No
bacteria or fungi are present except
when the surface or epidermis of the
leaf is broken down. No insect punc-
tures, as have been described for stig-
monose, have been observed in the true
yellows; in fact, no collapsed tissue
can be traced to the epidermis except
in the later stages, when the epidermis
has been broken down.

This trouble should not be confused
with bacteriosis and stigmonose. Bac-
teriosis is caused by bacteria, while
stigmonose is due to insect punctures.
The spots produced are distinctly dif-
ferent from those of yellows.

After examining many plants of all
the standard varieties on the market, I
can safely say that all varieties grown
today have yellows. The question of
the amount of loss resulting from this
disease is hard to solve. As all vari-
eties are more or less subject to this
disease, we can run no record tests to

determine the actual amount of loss,
so that we must resort to mere observa-
tions, which is not always satisfactory.
The direct loss, as figured from the
standpoint of flower production, is not
great. However, the quality of the
flower is lowered directly as the vital-
ity of the plant from yellows is lowered.
The indirect loss from yellows is con-
siderable. Observation shows that this
disease lowers the vitality of the plant,
and with lowered vitality fungi, espe-
cially branch-rot, attack the plant,
causing a noticeable loss. Branch-rot,
which is primarily a wound fungus, can-
not attack a healthy plant, but is able
to kill a weak plant in a short time.

Yellows on Cuttings.

During certain seasons of the year
this disease appears to be more notice-
able than at others. In the cutting
bench, cuttings showing yellows as a
rule do not take root easily, while ap-
parently healthy cuttings taken from
plants showing this disease root poorly.
The disease is marked when the rooted
cuttings are potted up and for several
weeks the young plants show consider-
able yellows, which apparently disap-
pears by the time they are planted in
the field. During July and August the
plants in the field again show this
trouble more. During the winter months
yellows increases on the plants in the
house until spring, when the disease is
at its height. At the time of making
cuttings the disease is evident and so
can be avoided to some extent in the
selection of cuttings.

Cuttings have been selected now
through three seasons, and the results
show that by selecting cuttings from
healthy plants only we can control the
trouble to some extent. One objection
to this method is that we are unable to

recover and there is always*some of the
stock so infected. The weeding out
process is a slow one, but the returns
should more than pay for the trouble.
It has been observed that seedlings
rarely show yellows. However, after
cuttings have been propagated from
seedling plants for two years they in-
variably show this condition. This
brings out the interesting fact that the
disease may first originate in the cut-
ting bench where cuttings are without
any vitality until the roots form and
that a breaking down of some sort
occurs in the tissue, which later de-
velops into yellows. This point is one
of the leads we intend to follow out in
our work. Another factor which lowers
the vitality of the cutting and so may
induce yellows is overpropagation.

Experiments in Grafting.

To determine whether yellows is in
the ‘‘blood’’ of the plants a number
of grafting experiments were carried
out. Cuttings, layers and shoots were
taken from seedlings which had not, up
to the time of the experiment, shown
any yellows. The shoots were grafted
on stock badly diseased. The grafted
stock today is badly yellowed, while
the cuttings and layers from the same
plant show little or no yellows. There
seems to be no question whatever, that
the disease can be communicated to
healthy plants by grafting. A point
which we hope to determine this year is
whether this disease can be carried
through the seed. We have made a
number of crosses with plants showing
different stages of this trouble and hope
to obtain some clew. As can be seen,
the solution of carnation yellows is a
long task and is just as slow as produc-
ing good commercial varieties.

A Summary.

Carnation yellows is due to causes
still unknown. It is inereasing in seri-
ousness rapidly and is found today on
all the standard varieties on the market.
Some varieties appear to be more sus-
ceptible to this disease than others.
Cuttings from plants showing this dis-
ease, and overpropagation tend to in-
crease the trouble. Selection of, cut-
tings from entirely healthy plants will
help decrease the trouble. Yellows does
not spread from plant to plant, but can
be communicated to healthy plants by
grafting.

mmaS your presiding officer, I
41 bid you welcome to this, our
twenty-fifth annual meet-
ing. Just a quarter of a
century ago, in the good,
old Quaker city of Phila-
delphia, a small body of
earnest carnation enthusiasts saw the
possibilities of the flower from which
we derive our name and issued a call
which was sent broadcast over the
land. All who were interested in car-
nation growing were invited to join
them in organizing a permanent society.
With your permission I will read their
eall of 1891.

The Call to Organize.

‘‘To American Carnation Growers:
You are cordially invited to attend a
meeting to be held at Horticultural
hall, Philadelphia, Pa., Thursday, Octo-
ber 15, at 2 p. m., for the purpose of
organizing a society of American car-
nation growers. All those who are un-
able to attend, kindly send their names
for enrollment. The object of this so-
ciety will be to materially benefit car-
nation growers and to advance the
popularity of the divine flower so that
it shall stand second to none. ‘Let us
all step to the front and put our shoul-
ders to the wheel.’’

The call was signed by

C. W. »Ward, George
Creighton, C. E. Allen,
William Swayne, R. T.

Lombard, Fred Schneider,
Charles T. Starr, C. J.
Pennock, George Han-
cock, A. M. Herr, Edward
Swayne, E. B. Jennings,
John McGowan, George
W. Love, Alexander Me-
Bride, H. E. Chitty, Isaac
Larkin, Edwin Lonsdale
and W. R. Shelmire.

From every section of
the country, east, west,
north and south, came ap-
plications for membership
and at the close of that
memorable meeting in
Horticultural hall there
were enrolled forty-nine
stanch champions of our
fair flower. And _ thus
was conceived and
ushered into existence the
American Carnation So-
clety.

Youthful Push.

It is fitting to mention
at this time the name of
Edwin Lonsdale, the first
presiding officer of our
body. During the last
year he has answered the
final call and leaves a
place in the ranks that is
difficult to close. It is
with regret and sadness
that we are compelled to
note the dropping off,
one by one, of the old

guard of pioneer florists to whom we
all owe so much.

Now, gentlemen, are we, after a
lapse of twenty-five years, putting the
same amount of push and of strenuous
effort into the work of our society as
did the charter members? Are we Car-
rying forward the work cut out for us
with the same e¢arnestness and unity of
purpose that marked their early en-
deavors?

The Successful Man.

To accomplish our work and to keep
up interest in the society it is neces-
sary for us to attend its conventions
and its meetings, even though to do so
means a personal sacrifice. William
Scott once said at a carnation meeting:
‘‘These conventions are productive of
the greatest good; we learn to know
each other better, and one of the great-
est pleasures of life is an exchange of
ideas with our intelligent fellow man.’’

It is a noticeable fact in our pro-
fession that the man who attends con-
ventions, flower shows and meetings of
associations of florists, is the man who

is successful and progressive in his
business.

Your president would suggest to the
society that we adopt a badge of neat
design to be worn at our conventions,
upon which can be written the name
of the wearer. In this way we can
more readily identify one another and
get acquainted. This method was used
at the Cleveland flower show last fall
with success and satisfaction to all.

Our secretary has suggested that we
abolish the use of individual address
placards on our exhibits after the
judges are through with their work.
It is true that in rearranging the vases
the cards often are lost or misplaced
on someone’s exhibit. We invite the
society ’s deliberations on this point.

Participation in Shows.

_The cardinal principles of this so-
ciety are to materially benefit carna-
tion growers and to advance the popu-
larity of the carnation. To do this it
is absolutely essential that we co-
operate, if so requested, with any well
managed flower show, and towards this
end the following are given by your
presiding officer as suggestions:

First, that any flower show manage-
ment desiring our support must give
us a positive guarantee
that the premium money
in the carnation section
will be paid to exhibitors.

_ Second, that the exhibi-
tion management choose
two from our list of duly
elected judges to serve
with the third, who may
be selected by them with-
out restriction. Poor
judging by inexperienced
men tends to make dis-
satisfied exhibitors and
consequently reduces the
number of entries at suc-
ceeding shows.

Third, that they be al-
lowed the use of the go-
ciety ’s vases with the un-
derstanding that they re-
imburse the society for all
loss and breakage and
pay all the expense for
packing, carriage, etc.

To the Front.

These simple rulings will
safeguard the Carnation
Society. Let us resolve
to lend a helping hand to
all flower shows, no mat-
ter where held, and dis-
miss the idea of self-ag-
grandizement from our
minds; let us exhibit with
the definite idea of bring-
ing the carnation out of
the _background and of
putting it on the same
high plane as the rose and
the popular chrysanthe-
mum.

It is an admitted fact

that in most parts of the country the
carnation is marketed in a crude way
compared withthe rose. The idea
seems to prevail, in many quarters, that
' a carnation is a carnation, regardless of
variety, but it is not so with the up-
to-date commission merchant; he knows
the different varieties by name and can
explain to the buyer why one variety
has a higher market value than an-
other. So can the live retailer, and he
in turn advises his customers to select
the kinds that have texture and that
last and give satisfaction.

It would seem that the grower is in

a measure responsible for the fact that
some of the largest retailers sell a com-
paratively small quantify of carnations,
because the grower insists on holding
to the idea of quantity instead of
quality. Stock that will not hold up
in the retailers’ display case will surely
hurt the cause of the carnation gen-
erally.

To the grower who depends upon fig-
ures for facts, the apparently shy
blooming varieties sometimes exceed in
money returns the prolific kinds, with
their serious shortcomings.

Let the varieties be known by their
names, then their characteristics and
their good qualities will eventually en-
hance their value and make regular
buyers of intelligent customers.

The National Flower Show.

In closing I would like to say a few
words regarding the National Flower
Show to be held in Philadelphia this
spring. In addition to the generous
cash premiums offered for carnations
by the management, the society will
award in a good many classes silver
jubilee medals to commemorate the
twenty-fifth anniversary of our found-
ing.

Let every, grower here make up his
mind to put up an exhibit at Phila-
delphia, so that the carnation section
of that grand show may be a credit to
our favorite flower and that our repu-
tation of being the ‘‘live wire society’’
of all the affiliated societies of the
S. A. F. will not be open to question.

We must, with renewed vigor, put our
shoulders to that same wheel mentioned
in the ¢all of@1891, sent qutto t
American carnation growers-by th
honored band of enthusiastic men in
Philadelphia who saw the hidden possi-
bilities of our divine flower, the carna-
tion.

THE LOCAL MANAGEMENT.

It is on the local management, at
least as much as on anything else, that
the success of a trade meeting depends
and in the instance of the convention
of the American Carnation Society this
week the local matters were in the
hands of an unusually competent execu-
tive committee. At the head of the
committee, of course, was the vice-
president of the society, J. F. Ammann,
of Edwardsville, with J. J. Beneke,
perennial secretary of the St. Louis
Florists’ Club, as secretary of the com-
mittee. The other members of this
body of workers were Carl Beyer,
Charles Young, Frank Windler, W. C.
Smith, W. J. Pilcher, Jules Bourdet
and F. J. Fillmore. There were several
strong subcommittees.

The Finances.

The books of your secretary and
treasurer have been audited, as has
been customary: We are pleased to
state that the society’s finances are in
a sound condition. All bills are being
met as they fall due and all accounts
are beingycollected without loss. The
secretary’8s books, up to January 17,
when the audit was taken, show collec-
tions as follows:

Membership dues

All of which has been turned over
to the treasurer and his receipts taken
therefor.

We are pleased to report that twenty-
four and one-half pages of advertising
space in the premium schedule was
taken by our members and friends.
The schedule appeared a few days late,
owing to the lateness of the meeting
of the board of directors. The annual
report also’ was printed and distributed
among the members at the usual time.

Eleven new varieties were offered
for registration by American growers
and some twenty-three European varie-
ties were added to the list. The name
Peace was offered by both American
and European growers. It having been
offered first on this side, the European
registration was withdrawn.

were in the hands of our worthy vice-
president, Mr. Ammann, who _ has
worked diligently for the success of
this convention. The entries for the
exhibition are rather lighter than
usual, due, no doubt, to the scarcity of
flowers and the high prices realized on
high grade stock in the cut flower

markets. The society owes a debt of
gratitude to those growers who were
willing to sacrifice their personal inter-
est to help make this exhibition a suc-
cess. We suggest that, in the future,
no display cards be permitted on vases
entered in the competitive classes;
that display cards on non-competitive
exhibits be limited to 5x7 inches in
size and that only one card be allowed
to each exhibit, except by special per-
mission.

Besides the arrangements for table
displays, permission was granted for
the display of other made-up work. The
enterprise of the St. Louis retailers
along this line is to be commended.

One hundred and eighty-four of our
members are also members of the
8.:A. F. We, therefore, continue to be
represented on the executive board of
that organization.

Directors’ Meeting.

The board of directors held the usual
post-convention meeting at Buffalo last
January. The midsummer meeting was
postponed to ‘November and was held
at Cleveland, O., November 12.

Arrangements were made to hold the
silver jubilee at Philadelphia at the
same time as the National Flower
Show. The $1,500 appropriated for car-
nation premiums by the National
Flower Show committee was spread
over a schedule of premiums, which
was submitted to the above named com-
mittee and approved by them. It was
decided to have a special silver jubilee
medal struck and to award one of these
medals to each winner of one or more
first premiums on carnations. W. L.

Rock and F. C. W. Brown were invited
to assist in judging the retail displays
at the Philadelphia show and both have
accepted.

The board recommends that this so-
ciety codperate with local organizations
in promoting local flower shows and
suggests the following conditions, i. e.:
A flower show, which desires the co-
operation of the American Carnation
Society, shall agree to submit its sched-
ule of premiums and the selection of
its, judges, for the approval of the
president and secretary of the A. C. 8.
They shall further agree to satisfy the
above named officers of the proper un-
derwriting of the show.

The trade press has kindly given
space for all matter sent in for publica-
tion. To them is due our thanks.

TENNESSEE FLORISTS MEET.

program; to the Nashville florists for
their entertainment of the association;
to trade concerns which made exhibits
before the association. It was further
resolved that members of the associa-
tion make an effort to secure every
florist in the state as a member of the
body before 1917. The officers of the
association were requested to take under
advisement the matter of holding a
state flower show. On motion the fol-
lowing were elected honorary members
of the association: R. Ewing, mayor of
Nashville; L. J. Tackett, of Fort Worth,

The Trade Exhibits.

The E.G. Hill Co., of Richmond, Ind.,
exhibited Tipperary rose and Alice
Coombs carnation. Tipperary is a rose
with a flower somewhat like Radiance
in type, but with a deep brimstone
color. It is said to be a stronger grower
and a better doer than its nearest rival,
Lady Hillingdon. Alice, Coombs .is- a
fringed carnation of good size and color,
being one of the best rose-pinks I have
seen.

The Joy Floral Co., of Nashville, en-
tered a large vase of Killarney Queen
roses on 4-foot stems, and another vase
of White Killarney of good quality.
This company also showed some fine
potted cyclamens.

J. A. Peterson & Sons, of Cincinnati,
staged Begonia Melior, B. Glory of Cin-
cinnati and B. Mrs. Peterson, and five
vases of cut cyclamens. The feature
of the entire exhibition was‘the Mrs.
Peterson begonia, a true Christmas red.

EFFECTS OF NITRATE OF SODA.

Please tell me what are the effects
of nitrate of soda on plant life. Does
it affect all plants in the same way?
I am sending you some diseased carna-
tion plants. Will you please state the
cause of the trouble, and the cure?

D. G.—Mo.

The specimens forwarded were too
badly dried up to permit the forming
of any opinion of what might be trou-
bling your plants. Nitrate of soda sup-
plies nitrogen, which is one of the
three chief elements required by all
plants as food. Nitrogen produces size
and, unless used in connection with
potash and phosphoric acid, will cause
a rank, soft growth. It affects all
plants in more or less the same way,
but shows its effects most markedly on
soft-growing plants. A. F. J. B.

CARNATIONS TOO DRY?

We are having some trouble with our
carnations and would like to have A. F.
J. B. help us. We have a house of
carnations consisting of one bench of
Champion, one bench of Enchantress
and one bench of White Enchantress
and Peerless Pink. The plants were
benched August 20 in a sandy loam,
which had been taken from a city lot
and which had been piled all summer.
We mixed this loam with about one-
sixth of manure. The sod was well
broken up and before we planted we put
on a light coating of bone meal. —

The plants took hold of the soil nice-
ly, made a fine growth and produced
good flowers all fall, but the buds
seemed to be extremely slow in opening
and we did not get the number of flow-
ers we expected. Since December 1

about seventy-five per cent of the flow-
ers have been splits. They split in a
peculiar way. They do not push out
of the calyx at all. The small buds are
split and the flower pushes out through
the split. This is something we have
never seen before. The plants are clean
and healthy, with a fine lot of shoots
coming, but the buds do not seem to
have the strength to bloom. The flow-
ers that are not splits are not as large
as they should be.

We gave the soil a top-dressing of
slaked lime about November 15. We
have kept the temperature between 50
and 55 degrees at night and between
60 and 75 degrees during the day. We
have watered carefully and given plenty
of fresh air, but no drafts. We have
given the carnations the same treatment
we always have, and we have always

had fine carnations. We have a bench
of White Perfection in another house
that was planted about the same time,
in the same soil. These carnations are
fine and give many good blooms.

We are going to give all of them a
top-dressing of dried blood, bone or
tankage, but we thought we would
have A. F. J. B. advise us first.

Also please inform us of the number
of blooms we should receive from the
following per week: 300 Champion;
500 Enchantress; 200 Peerless Pink;
300 White Enchantress; 300 White Per-
fection. W. J. T.—S. D.

Your letter gives one the impression
that your carnation beds were allowed
to become dry at the bottom, at some
time during early November. This

would have caused the carnations to be
severely checked. Then when you ap-
plied the lime and gave them a good
soaking it started them up again and
the splitting resulted. The lime released
an excessive supply of food, which tend-
ed to aggravate the case instead of cor-
recting matters. This drying out might
have been caused by steady firing, with-
out careful attention being paid to see
that the water reached to the bottom
of the soil.

I would not apply that blood and
bone for the present. Wait until con-
ditions are normal again. Water and
ventilate carefully, and see that the
water reaches to the bottom of the soil.
No harm is done if a little water runs
through the bottom of the bench.

The number of blooms you should cut
per week, from the number of plants
you name, would vary according to a
great number of things that have direct
bearing on it. You should receive about
fifteen blooms per plant during the sea-
son. Just how these would be distrib-
uted through the season would depend
on how you handled the plants and on
weather conditions. I would not hazard
even a guess on this part of your letter.

TO DESTROY ANGLEWORMS.

My carnations are not doing well and
I find, on examining the soil, that it
contains hundreds of angleworms. I
think these are so excessively numer-

ous that they injure the roots. Can
you tell me how to get rid of them?
The soil was put in new this season
and should _be all right in other re-
spects, but it was not sterilized.

M. E. R.—Mich.

We have never found any difficulty
in destroying angleworms with slaked
lime. Apply a 3-inch potful to each
row across a 3-foot bench and water it
in well. A few days later, go over the
beds and scratch the surface lightly.

A. F. J. B.

FAILED TO START GROWTH.

I am sending a sample of some carna-
tions which I planted last October and
which suddenly went into the condi-
tion shown by the sample. Can you tell
me what to do to stop the trouble?

G. L. B.—N. Y.

The trouble with your carnation
plants is that they never started growth
in the new soil. Spraying them under
those conditions caused the foliage and
stems to decay, thus producing that
moldy appearance. There is no help
for plants.in this condition at this
time of the year. Better tear them out
and replace them with some other spring
crop. There is some root aphis on
them, too; so do not plant anything in
that soil. A. FP. J. B.

STEMS ARE UNUSUALLY WEAK.

I am enclosing some leaves of my
carnations, which do not seem to be in
a healthy condition. They are not all
like these, however. Can you tell me
what is wrong with them? The stems
of my carnations have all seemed to
be unusually weak this year. The flow-
ers are of good size, but the stems are
so weak that they flop over. Is there
anything I can do to help them? I
put some bone meal on one bench, to
see whether it would be of any benefit.
All my carnations are of the Enchant-
ress varieties except the red ones, and
they seem to be stronger, but I notice
that they are becoming streaked with
white. What causes this?

A. G.—Okla.

The specimens submitted were cov-
ered with red spider, which is partly
responsible for the weakened condition
of your carnations. All the Enchant-
ress varieties and a few others become
weak-stemmed in winter unless the cul-
tural conditions are correct. If a cool
temperature is carried and an abun-
dance of ventilation is given, supple-
mented with a little stem-strengthening
food, such as bone or wood ashes, no
trouble should be experienced. Do not
expect, however, to correct matters at
once by liberal applications of these
things, which should have been given
in moderation right along. It is diffi-
cult enough to keep the plants right,
even with a fair start, and it is almost
impossible to get them into good con-
dition under adverse weather condi-
tions, when once they have gone wrong.
Just carry them along the best ‘you can
until toward spring, when matters will
right themselves.

You can clear out the red spider
now, by using salt water. Get one of
John Evans’ salt sprayers’ and use it
according to directions. There is no
excuse for red spider these days, with
such an efficient device at your service.
Thrips-specks will show white on the

A WEAKNESS IN THE VARIETY.

I am having trouble with a bench -

of White Perfection and am coming
to you for advice. The plants were
benched August 15, when I benched
my other plants, but they have not
yielded me over 200 blooms up to this
time. As soon as the buds Papin to
open, part of them turn brown and
the rest. are ragged and useless. The
other plants, benched at the same time,
are doing finely, bearing blooms of
good substance, with few splits. The
other varieties are Enchantress, Rose-
pink Enchantress and Mrs. Ward.
When I received the plants, I noticed
that the roots were long and straggling
and looked as though they had been
grown in an extremely light soil, as
black as coal dust. The plants look
healthy now and are making fairly
good growth. I had a little trouble
some time ago with my heating system,
but this is working well now, so I do
not believe it had anything to do with
the carnation trouble.
H. E, F.—W. Va.

Your heating troubles have nothing
to do with the trouble on your White
Perfection. It is caused by a weakness
in the variety, which may be aggra-
vated by a deterioration of its vitality.
Ever since we first knew this variety,
it produced a small percentage of this
kind of bloom. With us the trouble
never became serious, and our reason
for discarding it was the superiority
of White Wonder. We have heard
other growers complain of it, however,
just as you are doing. I know of
nothing that can be done to correct
the trouble. It will disappear com-
pletely as spring approaches. If you
ean afford to wait until that time for
your returns, I would suggest that you
treat the plants liberally, in order to
insure flowers of good quality. Do
not propagate from these plants, but
buy new stock for next year. While
you are buying, why not buy the newer

and improved _ varieties? White
Wonder or Matchless should give better
satisfaction. A. FP. J. B.

TWO QUERIES ON NEMATODES.

We are troubled with nematodes on
our carnations in the greenhouses. What
causes them and how may they be best
controlled? H. B.—Ala.

I am sending you a carnation plant
taken from one of my beds. This is a
fair sample of what they are. These
plants were taken from the sand, put
in flats and allowed to stay there eight
or ten weeks. They were put in the
benches June 1. The soil in the benches
was soil in which roses were grown last
year. The carnations were cultivated
and were fed with bone meal and sheep
manure, and they did well till about
thirty days ago. Then they showed a
tendency to wilt, and on examination I
found the condition of the roots which
you will observe. Can you tell me the
cause and the remedy? Would cuttings
taken from these plants be healthy?

J. F. C.—Tenn.

These nematodes are presumably the
same as those which caused such havoc
among the roses some years ago. I

Carnation ‘Alice Coombs.

do not recall that any remedy was
found except soil sterilization. . There
is no hope for the plants which have
been attacked, but you may prevent
trouble in the future by sterilizing your
soil. I would not propagate from these
plants, because they could not be other-
wise than in a weakened condition. Buy
new stock and be sure that your soil is
right.

It is a mistake to plant carnations in
old rose soil. Some twenty-five years

F

ago, when carnations were still known
as ‘‘pinks,’’ almost any soil was con-
sidered good enough, until a few pro-
gressive specialists demonstrated that
the best soil obtainable was none too
good and that the carnation will repay
any favors shown in the way of good
soil, careful culture and proper food.

CARNATIONS IN THE SOUTH.

As soon as the carnation cuttings are
well rooted they should be potted in
2%4-inch pots, using some care not to
pot too deeply. We use about two
inches of the top soil from an old chrys-
anthemum bed, passed through a half-
inch sieve, as potting material, to which
is added a little sheep manure. Place
the young plants in a good, light house,
running the night temperature as close
to 50 degrees as possible. The plants
will need a shading the first week until
they are established. Water thoroughly
after potting, thereafter using care- not
to get the plants water-soaked. These
pots will carry the plants until after
they are topped and putting out new
breaks. Instead of potting them into
larger pots, plant them out on a bench
in about two and one-half inches of
soil and set them rather close together.
This is quicker than repotting and
saves much space. At planting time
you will find the plants have used all
the soil and you only need to pass a
trowel under them and divide them.
Spray them every bright day and water
them moderately. I need hardly say,
watch out for aphis and keep the beds
clean of weeds. The plants may re-
quire one or two light stirrings of the
surface. :

SPIRAZZAS IN THE SOUTH.

It is a remarkable fact that in some
sections of the south spirwas sell like
the proverbial hot cakes, while in other
sections, no matter how fine they are,
they cannot be given away. The plants
give satisfaction in a house or else-
where if they only receive plenty of
water. If this fact wepe impressed on
a customer, perhaps spireas would meet
a readier sale. In most sections of the
south, if the plants are wanted for
Easter, it is imperative that they be
held in cold storage until time to pot
them, which is from eight to ten weeks
before Easter. Let the soil be rich and
give the plants plenty of water, espe-
cially after they are well started. They
should have cool treatment the first
two weeks and then be brought into a
heat of 60 degrees at night. They can
be hurried or held back as desired by
raising or lowering the temperature.
In those sections where frosts are fre-
quent they can be potted as soon as
received and plunged in an open frame.
A light covering of soil over the tops
is necessary, for alternate freezings and
thawings may kill the flowers. L.

THE SOUTH IS GETTING READY.

My subject was left to my own choos-

vention, which meets next summer in
Houston.

We florists are a conservative people.
We believe in holding on to the things
that have been found valuable. Some-
times we hold on to some of those
things until they have lost their real
worth. The progress in usefulness and
in influence of any trade or profession
depends more on the vigor with which
new ideas are developed and used. than
upon mere industry in following long
established practice, and I believe,
from the present spirit of our society,
as shown at the Texas convention and
flower show and at this convention,
and the work that has been done and
the action that has been taken, that
we are on the right road and are broad-
ening out.

An Awakening in the South.

I am glad to testify to the fact‘ that
the people of our entire southland are
doing the best that is in them, according
to the gifts that were given them.
That the florists of the south are wak-
ing up to the importance of organiza-
tion is demonstrated by the activities
of this society, the New Orleans Horti-
cultural Society, the Texas State Flo-
rists’ Association and other groups of
southern florists who are considering the
matter of state and local organization
at this time.. And the florists of the
south should be more strongly organ-
ized than in any other section of the
country, on account of the many ob-

‘attends a convention.

stacles that we have to overcome. Our
difficulties in our growing departments
are many; our stores, especially in the
lower southern states, are not up to
the standard; many of our so-called
large concerns show lack of good busi-
ness management. These conditions
are fast being remedied; modern stores,
modern greenhouses and, best of all,
modern business methods are coming in. |

What is bringing about this change
in conditions? Local and state organi-
zations are being formed; florists are
getting together, discussing these mat-
ters, exchanging ideas.

Progressives and Non-Progressives.

You walk into a poorly kept store or
a rundown greenhouse, where every-
thing appears to be ten years behind
the times, and you say to the manager
something about taking an interest in
a local or state organization; his an-
swer invariably will be that he never
He does not be-
lieve in organization, never attends the
flower shows or takes any interest in
them. He cannot figure out in actual
dollars and cents the good he will de-
rive. That man is short-sighted. He
thinks he is economical. He does not
realize that he can bring back from a
convention ideas that, if put into prac-
tice, will be money in his pocket.

Again, who are your progressive flo-
rists? I can pick them out. They are
the men who take an interest in the
local, state and national organizations.
They belong to the Chamber of Com-
merce, the Ad Club, the Merchants’
Association and other commercial or-
ganizations. All these are business

getters, to say nothing of the good to
be derived by coming in contact with
business men of other lines.

Florists all over the country have
been watching the work of the south-
ern florists for the last two years. At

tended an invitation for the S. A. F.
to meet in Houston in 1916. It was
unanimously accepted and now, fellow
florists, it is up to us to show our metal;
to show them we appreciate being af-
filiated with them, and show them we
are glad they are on their way to be
with us.

South Must Fulfill Expectations.

We must rally to the support of the
S. A. F., show the florists of the coun-
try that we do nothing by halves; that
we will make the convention come up
to the standard in every way. It will
take only two things from you, which
are not a great deal to put in, but if
left out would mean failure. These
two things are your membership in the
S. A. F. and your presence in Houston.
The Texas florists pledge the rest. To
request your membership and your pres-
ence is asking little of you compared
with the great good we shall derive
from this great gathering of men of
our profession.

We are going to have a record-break-
ing attendance, and I will tell you why.
It is the one opportunity for the flo-
rists from the north, east, west and
central states to see this grand old
southern country, and—may I as a
Texan add?—Texas, also. Houston, in
my great state, has many attractions
and never fails to meet her visitors
more than halfway, so as to assure them
a period of pleasant recreation.

Treats in Store for Visitors.

With the numerous points of his-
torical interest within easy reach of
our city, our entertainment committee
is arranging a most attractive trip
down our ship channel to the San
Jacinto battle grounds; also other trips
to our seashore attractions, which are
likewise unusually accessible, being
only twenty-five miles distant, with our
continuous sea breezes blowing day and
night, and to that famous summer re-
sort, Galveston. These and many other

attractions make the city an ideal one
from the visitors’ standpoint.

Right now we are planning the con-
vention garden, which promises to be
among the best. Mr. Kessler, the fa-
mous landscape artist of St. Louis, is
acting in an advisory capacity with
our own park superintendent, C. L.
Brock, who has this work in charge,
and you may rest assured that a great
treat is in store for you.

Our convention hall is one of the
largest in the south and present indi-
cations are that it will be packed to

the limit with exhibits. Our three-mil-
lion-dollar hotel, the Rice, will be the
headquarters. So, you see, it will be
worth while to attend this convention
in Houston.

And in conelusion, fellow workers,
let me repeat that the burden of my
message to you today is to put your
numerical and financial strength into
vour local and state organizations and
into the mother organization of them
all, the S. A. F., and you will get
much in return.

LESSONS OF NINETEEN FIFTEEN.

Varieties for Nineteen Sixteen.

The chrysanthemum season of 1915,
from a commercial standpoint, must be
classed, throughout the country gen-
erally, as a most successful one. The
individual markets seem to show a dis-
tinct slump in midseason, but this is a
condition that almost always occurs.
In reviewing our market, which is New
York, the early flowers were easily dis-
posed of at a good figure, though the
usual glut ensued the first week in No-
vember. It has been shown conclusive-
ly that singles were more profitable
than the pompons. This may possibly
be accounted for by the fact that there
were more pompons grown than single
varieties, but the latter have several
advantages over the pompons, one of
which is that they come in, or at least a
great many varieties do, earlier than
the pompons; and another, where varie-
ties are grown that have a good, stiff

stem and clear color, they are much
more graceful than the pompons, with
their hard, woody stems, and can be
arranged much more effectively.

The market did not develop this year
any newer varieties of superlative ex-
cellence, and I give herewith a list of
varieties it would be well to grow, with
their colors and seasons.

Early Varieties.

The following is my selection of com-
mercial early varieties:

White—Early Frost, White Gloria,
Alice Salomon. Early Frost seems to
have created a distinct place for itself,
and Alice Salomon and White Gloria
are two standard varieties that are well
known in the early market.

Pink—Unaka and W. T. MeNiece.
Unaka is by no means the ideal pink,
but it is better than Glory of Pacific
and Pacific Supreme, so I give it first
place.

Yellow—Monrovia and Marigold. I
do not class Golden Glow in this selec-

tion, as it has been grown by everyone
the last two years and is sometimes
seen in the market as early as July, so
I question if it is any longer a profita-
ble variety to handle. Marigold is a
fine color and, when grown well, should
loom up as a most profitable mum.
Crimson—Mrs. Ernest Wild
best variety of the early type.

The Outdoor Earlies.

While on the subject -of early varie-
ties, there is no question about the dis-
tinct place the types kngwn as early
flowering have created for themselves,
flowering, as they do, a great many of
them, outdoors the last week in Sep-
tember and first week in October, with
a minimum of expense for culture. This
type as yet is far from being well
known, but the market for them is in-
creasing rapidly. A good list of early
flowering varieties would run as fol-
lows:

White — Dorothy, Debutante, La
Cygne and Petite Jean.

Pink—Normandie, Hortense Malgat
and Cranford Pink. Of these three
Normandie is the earliest, being fully
in flower in many places by September
15. The earliest flowers, however, are
almost white, and it is not until the
latter part of September that they
come to their true delicate shade of
pink, so attractive in this variety.
Hortense Malgat is possibly the best
variety of this lot.

Yellow—Etoile d’Or,
Cranfordia. The latter
carry as high as twenty flowers to a
plant, on stems long enough for the
average cut flower, and is one of the
most profitable varieties we have ever
handled.

Bronze—A. Barham, Evelyn Vesuve,
Nellie Blake and H. H. Crane. The
bronze varieties are extremely hand-
some.

There are many other. varieties, but
the above are perhaps the best. The
varieties mentioned include none of this
year’s novelties. » 4

Some of my customers in the middle
west reported that the first heavy
frost, about October 1, nips these varie-
ties outdoors, but I am assured by good
commercial growers who have handled
them and given them slight protection,
either with frames or canvas, for a:few
days during the heavy frosts, that they
carry them through nicely and find
them a profitable crop to grow.

Midseason Varieties.

The following is my selection of com-
mercial midseason varieties:

White—White Chieftain and Anti-
gone. White Chieftain is the sport of
the well-known Chieftain and is a re-
liable variety. Antigone is a much
larger flower and, with us, much more
than paid its way.

Pink—Chieftain and Wells’ Late
Pink. The term Wells’ ‘‘Late’’ Pink
is somewhat of a misnomer, as in some
cases this variety comes into flower the
first week in November. In others it is
quite late in the month, depending on
when the plants were propagated.

Yellow—Ramapo, Chrysolora and A.
S. Baldwin. The latter variety is one
of the newer kinds, but can absolutely
be depended on to give 100 per cent
good buds, which is the acid test every
variety has to be judged by.

Bronze and crimson—Pocketts’ Crim-
son, C. H. Totty and Gertrude Peers.

Carrie and

is the

variety will

Late Varieties.

The following is my selection of com-
mercial late varieties:

White—Wnm. Turner, W. H. Chadwick
and Timothy Eaton. .

Pink—Patty, Dr. Enguehard and Ed-
win Seidewitz. The latter variety was
sent into the New York market, still in
excellent shape, for Christmas. Per-
sonally, I think mums at Christmas a

‘little out of place, since the people are

tired of them, but where a market is
available Seidewitz is the best variety
I know of to grow for it.

Yellow—Bonnaffon, Nagoya and Yel-
low Chadwick. These are all well-
known varieties. Another variety that
brought a phenomenal price in the New
York market was Gold Mine, but it is
only grown by one or two growers in
small quantities and staked when sent
in; otherwise it would not hold erect.

Crimson and bronze—Brutus, Hortus
Tolosanus and Antique. Hortus Tolo-
sanus is another name for the variety
catalogued as Greystone, and the former
is the proper name of the variety. While
the flowers of this variety are not large,
it is most attractive in color and sells
well in the market. Brutus is about
as well known as any variety in this
type, and Antique is the bronze sport
of Dr. Enguehard.

This list embraces all the different
sections and could be increased in-
definitely, but the above is a list that
can be relied on in almost any section.

The novelties this year in the com-
mercial section show three splendid mid-
season and late varieties in white,
Autocrat, Elvia Scoville, a white sport
of Wells’ Late Pink, and White Patty.
These will undoubtedly find their place.
The early white in the novelty section,
well worth looking into, is Alice Day.

Some Gdod Singles.

Singles, as before stated, are large
factors in the market, and as an excel-
lent list I would recommend the follow-
ing:

White—Mensa, Dorothy Duggan and
Gladys Duckham.

Yellow—Golden Mensa,
and Marion Sutherland.

Pink—W. Buckingham, Stanley Ven
and Mrs. E. D. Godfrey.

Bronze and crimson—Ceddie Mason,
Mrs. Whitehorn, Yvonne and Mrs. Hog-
ben.

With the shout of prosperity on
every hand, it looks as though the mum
growers should at least have a reasona-
ble share of the success that is coming
if they will grow varieties that will
line up the market requirements.

SWEET PEAS DROPPING BUDS.

My sweet peas are making fine growth
in solid beds, but are dropping their
flower buds. The night temperature
is 52 degrees. G. K.—TIll.

This trouble hds been general this
season, due to long spells of dark, sun-
less weather. It is the most aggra-
vated if your soil is rich in nitrogen.
With clearer skies and opportunities to
air more freely, this trouble will pass
away. Keep the night temperature for
plants flowering as near 50 degrees as
you can. C. W.

SWEET PEA FOLIAGE SCORCHED.

I am sending you two sweet pea
leaves that are withered and of a light
color. I have quite a few of these
leaves on my plants and the vines are
weak and spindly. Can you tell me the
cause? W. G. F. G.—Mo.

The leaves forwarded had the appear-
ance of having been scorched either by
the sun or by fumigation. It is hard to
express an opinion of the probable cause
without knowing anything of your cul-
tural conditions. Your temperature
should be 45 to 48 degrees at night
until the buds start to open; then run it
as near 50 degrees for a minimum .as
you can, with a rise to 58 to 60 degrees
on dull days and 65 degrees on clear
days. Preserve a buoyant atmosphere,
avoid cold drafts and, on the other

haud, do not coddle. Plants should stand
four to six inches apart in the rows
for best results. Perhaps your plants
are overcrowded and spoiling each
other. Remedy these conditions if they
exist. C. W.

MILDEW AND VENTILATION,

We are sending a few leaves of our
sweet peas. Can you tell us what is
the matter with them? Is it mildew?
This showed on the leaves about three
or four weeks ago in small spots, but
now shows nearly all over the house.
It begins on the lower branches, prob-
ably up as high as four feet. Our sweet
peas seem to be quite thrifty and have
given considerable bloom. They are
planted on a solid bed on the ground
in the center of the house, directly
under the ventilators. For the last week
or ten days, however, they seem not to
have done their best, for they did not
branch as we think they should, which
in course of time should produce more
blooms. V. H. & S—Ohio.

The foliage when received was much
dried up, but appeared affected with
mildew. This trouble is usually caused
by drafts, due to careless ventilation.
When ventilating, put on a little air
at a time. Do not wait until your tem-
perature has run up much too high and
then crowd on a foot or more of ven-
tilation. This is a sure way to get
mildew. Reduce the ventilation in the

your steam pipes, if you‘use steam. If
hot water is used, paint the sulphur on
one of the pipes. Cc. W.

DREER’S NEW WAREHOUSE.

The accompanying illustration shows
the new warehouse recently completed
at the Riverton nursery of Henry A.
Dreer, Inc. The building is 40x140
feet, located in a central position and
easy of access from the greenhouses.
The construction is of hollow tile with
slag roof, the floors being of hollow
tile, steel and concrete. The outer walls
are finished in rough concrete stucco
upon the tile, giving the building a
neat and substantial appearance.

The interior arrangements have been
carefully planned. One end of the first
floor, covering a space of 30x40 feet,
has been made absolutely fireproof and
will be used for storing the Dreer fleet
of automobile trucks. The cellar and
first floor are now being used for the
storage of bulbs, while the upper floors
will be used for the storage of packing
materials. The building is heated by
steam furnished from the central boiler

plant of the greenhouses. The hollow
tile has been found efficient in main-
taining an even temperature. A hy-
draulic elevator and electric lights are
being installed.

A new stable, replacing a frame barn,
also is of hollow tile and stucco and
presents a pleasing appearance in its
location at that portion of the nursery
in which the rock garden and lily ponds
are located.

Larkspurs.

The annual larkspurs, which are to be
had in a variety of colors, including
rosy red, pink, white and blue, are in-
valuable for cutting and make a useful
flower for country florists to grow
where there is a good retail trade. Seed
sown now in a night temperature of
50 to 55 degrees will soon germinate.
Pot the seedlings off singly, and before
they become too much potbound plant
them in a bench ten inches apart, with
twelve inches between the rows. They
succeed well in the same temperature
as snapdragons and will give a surpris-
ing quantity of long-stemmed flower
spikes for late spring or Memorial day
trade. The rosy scarlet, pink and
lavender colors are the most useful, but
be sure to purchase the annual and not
perennial varieties.

Tuberous Begonias and Gloxinias.

Start a batch each of tuberous be-
gonias and gloxinias now. The glox-
inias need a warmer growing house
than the begonias and will stand less
exposure to direct sunshine, but both
can be started in a warm, moist house.
Place the tubers in flats containing
pure sand, water moderately and pot
them before the roots become entan-
gled. These begonias and gloxinias
will flower for Memorial day. A couple
of months from now is sufficiently early
to start the main batch of each.

Canterbury Bells.

Start a batch of Canterbury bells
now in a house kept at from 45 to 50
degrees at night. One point to remem-
ber is that this campanula will be
ruined by hard forcing. To secure well
developed plants with flowers of great
Substance they must be grown moder-
ately cool all the time. If the crowns

are extra large you must exercise some
care in watering. If water is poured
over the center of the crowns there is
some danger of rot setting in. It is too
early to sow seed of Canterbury bells
for next year’s crop. April and May
are suitable months for this, and bear
in mind that while double Canterbury
bells are pretty and while the caly-
canthema, or hose in hose type, is beau-
tiful, the singles are the only kind
worth growing commercially. They re-
quire less supporting, as the flowers are
lighter than those of the other two
types.

ROCHESTER, N. Y.

The Market.

Last week good, brisk business was
transacted. With the temperature vary-
ing from zero to about 45 degrees above,
the greenhousemen met with a hard
proposition. Little sun has been seen
for a month now and market reports
show that stock is scarcer now than
for several years. It is perhaps a
little better than it was, but stock in
general is quite scarce. There is a
steady demand for roses, but American
Beauties are scarce. Roses are undoubt-
edly becoming more popular and the
public are educating themselves to the
names and habits of the different vari-
eties. Red varieties are selling splen-
didly now and the Francis Scott Key
rose is enjoying much popularity. Mi-
lady and D’Arenberg sell nicely. Aaron
Ward, Fireflame and Sunburst are used
extensively for corsage work. Carna-
tions are none too plentiful; in fact,
good grades of pink and white are quite
searce. Red and the darker shades in
pink are more plentiful, but there is no
large demand for them. Jonquils are

reaching us in good consignments and
sell quickly. Paper Whites and yellow
narcissi are good sellers. Stevia, which
is scarce just now, moves quickly.
Calla lilies are fairly good and sell well.
Tulips in yellow and white, Roman hya-
cinths and yellow daisies are useful Tor
basket work. Violets are plentiful, but
they do not move as fast as could be
desired. Valley is not plentiful, but
meets the small demand. Orchids and
cypripediums sell well. Greens of all
kinds sell well and are plentiful.

Various Notes.

Visitors to the trade last week in-
cluded W. H. Purdy, of Livonia, N. Y.
and Henry C. Heilemann, of the W. B
Lake Co., Philadelphia.

Harry Merritt, of Irondequoit, N. Y.,
is cutting some fine Delight carnations
with exceptionally strong stems. He
also is cutting a good crop of these
from about forty old roots and he finds
their quality practically as good as that
of the others. His White Wonder car-
nations are immense and full of fra-
grance. He has no trouble whatever
in disposing of his stock.

We learn with much satisfaction that
the park board is planning to erect two
or three greenhouses quite soon.

Last week was automobile show week
and a number of the flower stores made
window displays in harmony with the
occasion. Several of the stores fixed
up small automobiles and filled them
with flowers and other attractions. Yel-
low has been the chief color and jon-
quils have been prominent.

Fred Schlegel’s Sons report good busi-
ness for the season. They have been
busy with funeral work of late.

The Aster Candy Store is doing a
good business. Its window, though
small, is always clean and the stock
displayed is well cared for.

Miss Hattie Ellis and Malcolm White,
both of the Wilson store, have been
confined to their homes for a few days
with the grip. Mrs. M. MeNeil has
been added to the store force.

The Lord & Burnham Co. reports un-
usually active business at its office here.
Mr. Bates says inquiries are coming in
fast, particularly in the line of boilers.
This company received several good
greenhouse orders and has several more
on hand, but contracts are not yet
signed. Mr. Bates anticipates a far
better business this year than that of
either of the two previous years. W. A.
Elder expects to return to this office
early in February. He now is at the
Boston office.

Saturday was a busy day for funeral
work. Nearly every store was cleaned
up. There was nothing in flowers at
the wholesalers’ after 5:30 p. m.

The Florists’ Review

JANUARY 27, 1916.

NEW YORK.

The Market.

The market began to lose snap Jan-
uary 22 and the inevitable January
slump now is anticipated. Prices have
held up wonderfully since the holidays,
especially for roses, and even now many
varieties hold at Christmas quotations.
American Beauties have been in short
supply and the best sold at 75 cents
last week. The novelties continue to
sell at about the average of the last
four weeks, Hadley leading in popular-
ity. Some selected stock of this variety
was quoted last week by a leading
wholesaler at 40 cents. Hoosier Beauty
and Ophelia are much called for.

Carnations broke from 6 cents, which
was the week’s top, to 5 and even 4
cents. January 22 the quality of the
carnation supply is exceptionally good
and shipments are increasing rapidly.

The less said about orchids, perhaps,
tlre better. Every wholesaler who han-
dles them, and there are many, is at a
loss for a satisfactory reason for the
prices now prevailing. Hundreds of
them were sold at $1 per dozen. All
varieties, including even the cypripedi-
ums, are involved. The supply is far
ahead of expectations.

Lilies and valley are scarce and
strong. There is quite an abundance of
the lower grades of each, however, that
go slowly at large concessions. Single
violets sold at almost double the prices
of the double variety. All kinds of
bulbous stock are abundant. There are
tulips and jonquils in every wholesale
window, the latter being especially
abundant. Prices are falling. Of course
the usual variety of other flowers of
this season are to be had, but, apart
from orchids, all stock still brings bet-
ter prices than a year ago.

Various Notes.

A rose and earnation show will be
held under the auspices of the Country
Life Permanent Exposition at the
Grand Central Terminal, February 10
to 12. If interested, write Robert
Sexton, manager, for the prize schedule.

Several New Yorkers are planning to
accompany Secretary John Young to
Ithaca February 9, to attend the annual
meeting of the State Federation of
Floral Societies.

The death of Thomas Dixon, of Flat-
bush, is reported. For many years he
was connected with Holy Cross ceme-
tery, Brooklyn, and enjoyed the confi-
dence of all who knew him.

The first annual banquet of the As-
sociated Retail Florists, Inc., and the
Greek-American Florists’ Association,
will be held at the Hotel Breslin, Mon-
day evening, January 31.

H. Weiss has opened a wholesale store
at 106 West Twenty-eighth street.

George J. Polykranas is the proud
possessor of a delivery auto, gorgeous
in olive green and gold, a decided addi-
tion to his already excellent facilities.

Thomas Martin, of Traendly &
Schenck’s, and Adam Trepel, with C. C.
Trepel, were again in the wholesale dis-
trict January 22, after a severe expe-
rience with the grip.

The exhibition of the Horticultural
Society in the Museum of Natural His-
tory last week was a successful affair,
the orchid displays by Clement Moore
and Lager & Hurrell being especially
good. A large attendance demonstrated
a growing interest in these monthly
shows. W. N. Craig, of Boston, gave

an interesting lecture on ‘‘The Home
Flower Garden’’ to a crowded house.

A. J. Guttman is at St. Louis this
week, attending the carnation conven-
tion. He took along an exhibit of
Carnation Peace.

W. E. Marshall has commenced his
western trip, which will continue until
March.

R. J. Irwin is away on a long business
tour.

Maurice Fuld, while on his way home
from the last meeting of the Florists’
Club, was waylaid and knocked uncon-
scious.

February 24 the annual ball and en-
tertainment of the Greek-American Flo-
rists’ Association will take place. The
usual crowd of over 2,000 is antici-
pated. :

B. Rosens’ sales of Japanese red rop-
ing last year amounted to over 3,000,000
yards, he says.

Miss Conklin, bookkeeper for H. E.
Froment, is seriously ill in a Brooklyn
hospital.

Hugo Hoffman, formerly in_ the
wholesale business in New York, then
four years with J. K. Allen and after-
wards for several years with Reed &
Keller, died last week from a compli-
cation of diseases.

A. (L. Brown, of Kearney, N. J., has
been seriously ill for over a month.

Bowling.

January 20 a special bowling match
for the dinner was completed, Messrs.
Scott and Miesem against Messrs. Ford
and Fenrich, resulting in a victory for
the former, Miesem contributing the
high score of 242. The regular games
of the evening produced these scores:

NEW BEDFORD, MASS.

The Market.

Prices still are unusually high for
this time of year, principally because
of the scarcity of stock caused by the
continued dark weather. Nevertheless,
there is a steady call for all kinds of
flowers and there are few objections
made to the high prices.

During the week there was a good
eall for corsage bouquets. Nearly all
the retailers had a share of the orders.

Various Notes.

William P. Pierce last week made a
large horseshoe of carnations and roses
for the new Au Bon Marche store.

During the recent cold snap an ex-
pansion tank at the range of Molanson,
in the Mount Pleasant district, burst
and entailed considerable damage.

The fire that partially destroyed the
houses of William Pierce injured a num-
her of palms, but caused no other dam-
age to stock.

Ernest Chamberlain opened his new
store January 24. He has an attrac-
tive place, much larger than his former
store.

Post & Gray had a good call for vio-
lets during the week. They have veen

‘picking fine violets this winter.

W. H. Davenport now is settled in his
new store. He has an attractive win-
dow on Purchase street and a long,
narrow display window on Middle
street. Besides cut flowers, Mr. Daven-

port will carry a full line of canaries,
goldfish and supplies. W. MP.

NEWARK, N. J. °

The Market,

While there is considerable funeral
work, other business is a little quiet
in Newark and vicinity. It is prob-
able that the lull may be due to the
continued high prices of flowers. The
flower buyer hesitates in making a
purchase unless it is a case of sickness,
death or wedding. The retailer com-
plains of the high prices because they
cut down his profit. The growers have
many fine plants in bud, but the cloudy
weather has kept them from develop-
ing.

Paper Whites have been a boon to
those who had them, for they flowered
well and have been in great demand.
Because of the glut in the market last
year, many growers did not plant them
this year, and those who did are mak-
ing good money on them. Roses are
arriving in sufficient quantities to sup-
ply the demand. Carnations remain
scarce, but are improving in quality.
Valley is extremely high, though slight-
ly lower than it was two or three
weeks ago. Orchids are plentiful and
cheap, fine blooms bringing from 25 to
40 cents each. Gardenias are more
moderate in price. Freesias, of excel-
lent quality and fairly reasonable in
price, are coming to the market in
abundance. Sweet peas are more plen-
tiful than they were and are of better
quality. Violets are more numerous.
Tulips, daffodils and other potted plants
are more abundant than those of the
previous week, but it still is early for
this class of stock.

Florists’ Club Election.

The annual banquet and meeting of
the Essex County Florists’ Club was
held January 18 in the Krueger Audi-
torium. An _ excellent supper was
served. The officers elected are: Presi-
dent, Henry Hornecker, of East Orange;
vice-president, John H. Pfeufer, of
Irvington; secretary, E. J. Jacobi, of
Irvington; treasurer, Edward Pearson,
of Irvington; trustee for three years,
Jacob Hauck, of Orange. The secretary
and treasurer were reélected. It was
announced that the regular meeting in

February would be observed as ladies’

night. There will be an interesting
program and refreshments. An effort
will be made to secure as a speaker at
the March meeting one of the men in
charge of the New Jersey state experi-
ment station, at New Brunswick.

Various Notes.

William Weismantel reports an un-
usually big demand for Paper Whites.
He had a fine lot of them in his green-
houses in the rear of his store, and they
helped out greatly when other flowers
were high.

Kimmerle & Minder state that aside
from the funeral work business has
been quiet. Mrs. Minder has been ill
with the grip.

The Ivy Flower Shop reports busi-
ness as being good. This shop was
opened last May and has done better
than was expected.

Philips Bros., of 938 Broad street,
report that the volume of business done
is ahead of that of last year, but that
because of the high prices of flowers

it is not thought that the profits will
be much ahead of those of January a
year ago.

J. E. Crossley and George Penek have
been elected members of the New Jersey
Automobile and Motor Club.

SALT LAKE CITY, UTAH,

‘ The Market.

The market for roses and carnations
is decidedly good; most likely it is due
to the extreme shortage of stock. Jan-
uary has been a month of snow, wind
and cold weather. The flowers welcome
what little sunshine they get, but not
many of the bright rays have been seen.

The roses suffer most, chiefly because
of the heavy crépping for Christmas
and the weather conditions. The grow-
ers of roses are so few that the market
is affected to a great extent when the
crop is off. Even the standing orders
for roses have to be cut in two and
other orders are filled according
to the business done with. the whole-
saler. Small customers are cut off al-
most entirely. It does not do any good
to specify the kind or grade desired,
for the grower sends what he can. Most
of the orders read: ‘‘Send all the roses
possible.’’ American Beauties are en-
tirely off crop.

The supply of carnations is fairly
good, but it hardly meets the demand.
The price is not good for this time of
the year, the best selling at only $4.00
per hundred. Sweet peas are beginning
to come along nicely, but not nearly
enough of them to meet the incessant
demand. The orchid-flowering variety
prevails; the flower and length of stem
are good. Greens are scarce, with the
exception of smilax. It is a hard mat-
ter to get the ferns in from the coast.
Stevia is gone.

The cut of Easter lilies, Paper Whites
and freesias sells quickly. Bulbous
stock is beginning to appear on the mar-
ket, with the potted tulips in the lead.
Plants move slowly, due mostly to the
lack of variety. Cinerarias, cyclamen
and Primula obconica are in ee

CINCINNATI.

The Market.

The supply of stock is larger than
it was at the last writing, but it still
is barely sufficient for present needs.
The shipping business is good. Roses
still are scarce and, judging from re-
ports from the growers, it will be some
time before they are again plentiful.
Fine American Beauties may be had.
Carnations are more plentiful than they
were. The cut of lilies, callas and
rubrums was about the same as that
of the week before. Jonquils and daf-
fodils are coming into the market in
fair-sized quantities and are proving to
be good sellers. Lily of the valley is
scarce. Violets and orchids are plen-
tiful and the sweet pea cut is much
better than it has been. Other offer-
ings include freesias, narcissi, mar-
guerites and primroses. Greens are
plentiful.

Various Notes.
Mrs. Louise Witterstaetter, mother of

R. Witterstaetter, died last week at
her son’s home at Price Hill. She was

80 years of age. The burial took place
January 17 at the mausoleum in St.
Joseph’s cemetery. Mr. Witterstaetter
has the sympathy of his many friends
in his bereavement.

C. E. Critchell is finding a good call
for hanging baskets and green sheet
moss this early in the year.

P, J. Olinger has been ill for a few

days with the grip.

William Taylor, of Price Hill, has
been sending some fine, large jonquils
to L. H. Kyrk.

Recent visitors were I. Bayersdorfer

The Market.
Market conditions are gradually

changing and assuming a more normal
trend. The weather has moderated to
a great extent and we have had several
days of the kind of weather that helps
to bring on the malady known as spring
fever. It appears as though the extreme
scarcity of stock is soon to be over and
a return to normal conditions appar-
ently is imminent.

Roses are beginning to pick up, but
the supply shows no noticeable increase
as yet. Carnations, however, have in-
creased in quantity sufficiently to meet
all demands, with a consequent drop in
prices. ‘The quality is good and sales
show no falling off; that is, in the lump
sum realized. Violets continue plenti-
ful, but they are moving well. The
quality is good and fair prices are being
realized. Sweet peas are coming into
their own and also are helping to ease
up the market.
quite heavily and is selling well. Val-
ley is neither plentiful nor of good
quality. There is a large demand for
valley that can not be satisfied. There
is no indication that this particular con-
dition will be alleviated in the near
future. The supply of orchids is about
equal to the demand, which is not par-
ticularly strong at this time. Tulips,
daffodils, freesias, Romans, ete., are be-
ginning to arrive in quantity and are
cleaning up well.

Various Notes.

Sunday evening, January 23, a party
consisting of N. Zweifel, H. V. Hunkel,
William R. Schroeder and Gustave Pohl
left Milwaukee, bound for the American
Carnation Society show at St. Louis.
They will be away about a week and
will visit Cincinnati, Richmond, La
Fayette and other cities, to view estab-
lishments making specialties of various
kinds of stock.

William Lubliner has returned from
his honeymoon and wears a perpetual
smile.

Archie MacDonald, with Gimbel
Bros., spent January 18 at Chicago.

Walter Holton, who was operated on
for intestinal trouble, at the Radium
hospital January 18, is improving, al-
though he still is in a precarious condi-
tion.

Sunday, January 23, the annual flow-
er show at the Mitchell park conserva-
tory was opened to the public. A fine
collection of orchids is on exhibition
and will remain as long as the flowers
are in bloom. There are about thirty
different varieties of orchids shown and
among them are many specimens of the
rarest varieties. H. J. S.

Results bring advertising.
The Review brings results.

Ir no one knew your name you would
not have many friends, so until your
business name is known, how can you
expect many customers?

Not in years have Paper Whites re-
turned the forcers so good profit as this
season. Lucky, or astute, the man who
did not cut down his order.

THERE are many reports that the fine
looking Dutch bulbs, spoken of so en-
thusiastically last fall, so tar are not
giving the results expected.

JANUARY has been a month of ex-
tremely light crops in almost every part
of the country, but February probably
will see the other swing of the pen-
dulum.

HIGH prices are not an advantage
when one has nothing much to sell.
Give us, rather, a liberal supply and
fair prices; then everybody does busi-
ness atid makes money.

- BEYOND question, many flower buyers
have discontinued purchases because of
the abnormally high prices since Christ-
mas. It will be necessary to notify them
promptly of the return to normal condi-
tions, else prices soon will drop abnor-
mally low. Supply and demand are like
the swing of a pendulum.

BEFORE the sweet pea can be truth-
fully called winter-flowering, the growers
will have to find a means of keeping the
buds on the plants, during dark weather,
until they open. Some sweet peas are
winter-budding, all right, but it is a
stretch of the imagination to call them
»winter-flowering; the buds have been
falling before they opened.

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:

TWO YEARS.

McFarlands, Florists, Akron, O.

Owen, F , Roseburg, ‘

Falconer Floral Co., Falconer, N. Y.
Wright, J. H., Waverly, Ia.

United States Nursery Co., Roseacres, Miss.

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 are sent.

HOOSIERS TO MEET.

The February meeting of the State
Florists’ Association of Indiana will
be held Tuesday, February 1, with
F. Dorner & Sons Co., at La Fayette.
Indianapolis florists will leave the trac.
tion terminal station on the 8:15 limited
car. Remember the date, members, and
join the party.

O. E. Steinkamp, Sec’y.

WORTH THE MONEY.

One of the not too numerous satis-
fying things about the newspaper busi-
ness is that if one succeeds in attract-
ing readers he at the same time at-
tracts and pleases advertisers. Like
this:

In sending $2 for another year of The Review
(to Canada) I must say that if it cost $10
I still should subscribe. I consider I save at

. least $100 per year in buying from its adver-

before me_ the
Walker,

tisers and in its ads I have
largest assortment of offers.—W. W.
St. Catharines, Ont., January 18, 1916.

And this is from the other party to
the deal:

Although the ad appeared in the January 13
issue for the first time this season, we are
already getting orders from it.—J. B. Goetz
Sons, Saginaw, Mich., January 17, 1916.

AFFILIATED.

The Pacific Coast Horticultural So-
ciety, the trade body at San Francisco,
now has 105 members who also are
members of the S. A. F., which will
entitle its president for 1916, Eric
James, to a seat on the S. A. F. board
of directors, under the plan of affilia-
tion adopted at the Boston convention.

CASH CHANGE FOR BAD CHECKS.

The bogus check swindler has turned
up again; this time at Baltimore, where
he perpetrated his iniquitous scheme on
W. Muhly, of 1127 South Charles street.
The man came to the store and said he
had been commissioned by the Bartlett-
Hayward Co. to purchase a _ funeral
piece for an employee who had died the
day before. After selecting his design
the buyer pulled a check from his
pocket with which to pay the bill,
which amounted to $6, The check, which
was for $10, had the name ‘‘Thomas
Bartlett’’ affixed to it and was made
payable to the bearer. Mr. Muhly gave
the man $4 cash change, but later on,
becoming suspicious, he telephoned the
Bartlett-Hayward Co. His suspicjons
were confirmed; the check was a forg-
ery. A good rule is not to cash checks
without proper identification and few
florists would except with the bait of a

sale; then most of us give cash change
to total strangers as guilelessly as
though the fake had not been reported
scores of times.

GLASS IS ADVANCING.

Both window and plate glass ad-
vanced last week. Since the first of
the year changes amounting to twenty
and twenty-five per cent have taken
place in this community. The increase
is due to the fact that America is sup-
plying practically the entire world, Ger-
many and England manufacturing only
sufficient for their own needs and Bel-
gium, formerly a large producer for ex-
port, being no longer a factor. There
is a heavy South American trade, al-
though the domestic movement is said
to be mainly responsible for the heavier
orders. The erection of munition fac-
tories covering large acreages and us-
ing tremendous quantities of window
glass has forced an upward movement.

CAUSE AND EFFECT.

There is no use leading a horse to
water if he does not wish to drink. And
there is no use sending a man a paper
he does not care about enough to pay
for; one can not make him read. But,
given subscribers who are interested,
the results for advertisers are assured.
Like this:

In sending my subscription for another year
I will say I can not keep greenhouse without
The Review. Trying to do business without it
would be like sitting down to the table and no
bread. Long may you prosper.—J. W. Primmer,

done its duty, as usual.—Otto Sylvester & Sons,
Oconomowoc, Wis., January 10, 1916

The Market.

The peak of the scarcity passed last
week. To be sure, the market still is
stiff on most items, but nothing to com-
pare with the last few weeks. The
milder weather has brought with it a
gradual but steady increase in supply
and, though the wholesalers are not
yet courting new business with any
degree of keenness, they are, in most
instances, able to take care of all orders
from regular customers.

Beauties are rapidly going off crop
and many of those that find their way
to the market are of decidedly inferior
quality. There is a fair supply of
other roses’ in the longer’ grades.
Though there is as yet no pronounced
increase in the supply of the short and
medium grades, the end of this week
will probably find a marked change in
these conditions, as many large growers
report crops nearly ready for cutting.

The large increase in the supply of
carnations is the feature of this week’s
market. Whereas, a week ago whole-
salers were declining orders for carna-
tions, or filling them short, they now
are able to fill in full practically all
orders received. This, in spite of the
fact that short roses are scarce, has a
tendency to give the whole market an
easier tone.

Miscellaneous stock is far more
abundant than it was a week ago, but
valley is again found far on the short
side. As a result of the heavy funeral

on Sixty-third street, are said to have

work, good lilies are not more than
sufficient for the demand. Violets are
moving well, as are sweet peas. Light
receipts January 24 made it impossi-
ble to fill all orders for double violets.
Of peas there is a splendid supply of
most excellent quality. Bulbous stock
has at last made its appearance on the
market in sufficient quantities to be-
come an important factor. Paper
Whites are in liberal supply and move
rapidly. Jonquils, too, find a ready
sale. Several colors of tulips afford a
fair range of selection to the buyer.
Bulbous stock has always been accord-
ed a warm -reception in the Chicago
market and this season is proving no
exception. Cattleyas are not plentiful
enough to meet the demand. Stevia is
nearly all cut.

Greens, though not short in any par-

ticular, are yet moving in a most sat-
isfactory manner.

Various Notes.

Everyone in the east is enthusiastic
over the prospects for the coming sea-
son, according to Frank Johnson, of the
A. L. Randall Co., who has just re-
turned from a hurry-up trip through
that part of the country. Eastern sup-
ply manufacturers, he says, find it ex-
tremely difficult to get sufficient labor,
with the result that many articles are
bound to be scarce in the near future,
and the question of the buyer must
inevitably be, not ‘‘How much will it
cost?’’ but ‘‘When can I get it?’’ A
new telephone booth for the accommo-
dation of customers has been placed
near the Randall elevators.

The two stores of Arthur F, Keenan,

done, in the first three weeks of Janu-
ary this year, one-third more business
than in the whole of January in 1915.
But Mr. Keenan, in common with other
retailers, asserts that the price of cut
flowers has been so high good business
has profited one little. Magnolia
leaves have been the life-saver, he says.
This item may be just a bit prema-
ture, but readers of The Review are
entitled now and then to be let in
on the news before it happens. Note,
then, that McKinley day, January 29,
also is the anniversary of our popular
fellow-townsman, Otto W. Frese. If
it were a wedding it would be golden,

Within a few days Henry M. Hirsch
will open his new store in the basement

avenue.

‘‘In the opinion of a carnation
grower,’’ says Guy W. French, ‘‘the
Mrs. Russell rose has made good.’’

John Michelsen, of the E. C. Amling
Co., now drives a Moline-Knight.

Probably it is because the same peo-
ple own the Rubel candy store on State
street and the Fleischman flower store
on Jackson boulevard that the latter
has been featuring table centerpiece
vases that have the bases filled with
chocolates. Flowers and candy always
make a good combination.

It takes 210,000 plants to stock the
benches at Peter Reinberg’s carnation
range. It is expected to plant about
600,000 in the field this spring, which,
with the rooted cuttings sold, means
that close to a million cuttings must
be taken, or from four to five from
each plant on the benches.

The new rose Champ¢Weiland has
found another champion in the person
of A. H. Budlong, superintendent of
the J. A. Budlong greenhouses. Mr.
Budlong waxes quite enthusiastic over
its delightful color and fragrance.

One of the handsomest cars in the
auto show this week, a Packard Twin
Six, bears the monogram ‘‘C. L. W.’’
Mr. Washburn denies it soon will make
its appearance in Hinsdale.

An improvement in demand has al-
ready been noted by Tony Pekarek,
proprietor of the California Floral Co.,
3402 West Twenty-sixth street, as a
result of the easier market conditions.
High prices, he says, have a tendency to
paralyze business, as the general pub-
lic cannot be made to understand the
cause of the scarcity.

Safe arrival at his prune ranch at
Red Bluff, Cal., is reported by Fritz
Bahr. He left Chicago January 19.

If you meet A. Henderson at the auto
show this week it does not mean he is
buying a car, but simply that the bug
has bitten deeply. Mr. Henderson re-
cently acquired an Enger.

Fred Lautenschlager, of Kroeschell
Bros. Co., left for St. Louis January
24, to attend the carnation convention.

The many friends of Fred Strail will
be pleased to learn that he has fully

pelled him to give up the flower busi-

last nine months he has been employed
by the company operating the Union
Loop, but he is beginning to think of
getting back into the trade.

At Winterson’s Seed Store J. P.
Degnan says the early call for cata-
logues has exceeded anything he ever
has known in January. The last page
of copy went to the printer January
24, fully three weeks earlier than usual.

The work of superintending the in-
stallation of ice machines in different
down-state towns has been keeping
Henry Koellner, of the Koellner Re-
frigerator & Ice Machine Co., out of
the city the greater part of the last
three weeks.

After a severe attack of grip, George

Weiland, of Evanston, is again able
to be on the job.

As reported in last week’s Review,
J. C. Leonard, of the Leonard Seed Co.,
Chicago, went to Rhinelander, Wis. As
a result, he is now suffering with a
frosted foot, though still on the job.

The sales force of George Reinberg
is again short a man. Adam Kasper
is on the sick list.

The next time anyone wants to ac-
company F. L. Otto, 2131 North Kedzie
avenue, into his greenhouse after dark
on the pretext of buying a plant, he
will probably keep his eyes on the pros-
pective customer. The evening of Jan-
uary 22 a man desired to see a plant,
and when well into the greenhouse
struck Mr. Otto on the head with a
dull instrument. The man then fled,

leaving his victim alone. Though not
seriously injured, Mr. Otto was not able
to be in his store or greenhouse until
January 25. The report in the daily
papers that he was shot by a former
employee is untrue.

The many friends of John Poehlmann,
president of the Poehlmann Bros. Co.,
will be glad to learn that he is able to
walk about his room in the north side

tending physicians, he may be taken to

The Market.

The Buffalo market continues exceed-

experience much difficulty in filling their
orders. The demand is rather irregular
—brisk one day and dull the next.

. Beauties are like other roses—they
sell on sight at good prices. Anything
like a rose sells at a good price, for that
matter, from the shortest to the best.
Of course, short roses are in extra heavy
demand because of the great quantity
of funeral work. Colors are entirely
forgotten in this work and everybody
is mighty glad to get anything. The
carnation supply continues even shorter
than that of the week previous, and
with the continued absence of sunshine
there is no immediate relief. The stems
of the carnations are somewhat weak.

nicely. The singles cling to the scarce

the same as that of the week before.
Narcissi are extremely short, and
tulips, freesias and Romans clean up
daily. Easter lilies are like carnations
and narcissi—unusually scarce. There
is an exceptionally heavy demand for
lilies on account of so much funeral
work. White and yellow daisies, pan-
sies, stevia and myosotis sell quickly.

PHILADELPHIA.

The Market.

The January thaw has had its effect
on the market, increasing the supply
of flowers and moderating the prices.
This moderation is noticed mostly in
carnations and in _ daffodils. Other
flowers are simply easier; that is, the
poor and indifferent no longer go in
with the good without question. Long-
stemmed roses with inferior flowers,
weak necks or poor foliage do not go
with the first-class stock. Split carna-
tions have dropped a point lower than
the better grades. Daffodils have be-
come plentiful. The best now are of-
fered at $4 per 100; these are nearly
all Golden Spurs and nearly all are of
splendid quality. Sweet peas have im-
proved with the bright sunshine; the
orchid varieties are far in the lead.
They are more plentiful than a week
ago. Violets continue dull. Valley is
active at $5. Easter lilies sell well,
though most of them have far from
large flowers and are inclined to be
weak in the stems. Cattleyas—they are
all Triange now—are less plentiful and
are in better demand at a shade higher
prices. Snapdragon is getting into mid-
winter form. Some really superb yellow
and pink is offered that sells quickly.
American Beauties are becoming ex-
ceedingly scarce. White roses no longer
sell as quickly as during the last four
weeks. The medium and short roses
are increasing in number, but their in-
crease is not nearly so marked as that
of the carnations. Daisies, both yellow
and white, are popular.

The Club’s Carnation Night.

Tuesday evening, February 1, will
be the annual carnation meeting of the
Florists’ Club. It will be held in the
eclubroom at Horticultural hall, Broad
street, below Locust street, at 8 p. m.
The star attraction will be the appear-

Mr. Brown’s treatment of this subject
at the club’s last carnation meeting was
considered by William Swayne, of Ken-
nett Square, as one of the best practical
talks on carnations ever given.
Growers of carnation novelties and
standard varieties of merit are cordi-
ally invited to send exhibits in time for
this meeting to the secretary, David
Rust, Horticultural hall, Broad and Lo-
cust streets, Philadelphia. The carna-
tions will be carefully staged, and
passed upon by the exhibition commit-

tee. All out-of-town florists interested
in carnations are cordially invited to
attend the meeting.

Current Events.

Some of the growers have been as-
suring the wholesalers in this city that
if they had shipped their flowers to
New York at the holidays they would
have realized much better prices for
their stock. These statements received
a cruel blow last week, when one of the
local growers chanced to accost a street
merchant on Market street, who was
offering some particularly scarce flowers
on the curb. ‘‘ Where did you get those
flowers?’’ the grower asked. ‘‘I bought
them over in New York,’’ was the
prompt reply.

Philip Freud, who knows a lot about
bulbs and tells it clearly, explains the
situation of the last few months in this
way: ‘‘The Hollanders went around
taking orders for Dutch and French
bulbs. They delivered the Dutch bulbs
all right, but fell down on the French.
We were able to get quite a lot of
French bulbs and so helped out many
good people who needed them, but there
were not nearly enough to go around.
It has been a great bulb year.’’

THE GREATEST QUALITY WE'VE EVER SHOWN!
THE GREATEST QUANTITY WE'VE EVER MADE!
THE GREATEST VALUE WE’VE EVER GIVEN!

The tremendous growth of our basket business is due to just two things—the Quality

and the Price.

When you buy your baskets from the Neidinger Co. you can feel satisfied that you
have bought the best and paid the least.

If you have never bought any baskets from the Neidinger Co., let us convince you on
our small cut flower baskets for St. Valentine’s Day.

They range in price from $1.50 per dozen to $6.00 per dozen.

numbers. Paper Whites are more
plentiful and are not moving as well
as formerly. The lily and, in fact,
anything suitable for funeral work was
in good demand last week. Pot plants,
such as azaleas, primulas and cycla-
mens, have been in good demand. Busi-
ness in general is good and prices in
the wholesale market are above the
average for this time pf the year.

Club Meeting.

A well attended meeting of the Gar-
deners’ and Florists’ Club of Baltimore
was held January 24. Many interest-
ing topics came up for discussion and
the meeting was late in adjourning.
The transportation agent of the Balti-
more & Ohio railroad was present and
invited the club to travel over this
road to the National Flower Show, to
be held in Philadelphia March 25 to
April 2. The fare is $2.16 for a one-
way ticket. For a party of forty or

fail to attract attention and
create new business.

These special heart boxes are
of strong, lasting construction,
made of heavy, high-grade stock
and covered with a special red
cover paper. Each one is
packed in a container of its own.

QUALITY is the big word in
the SCHULTZ organization.
SCHULTZ creations are widely
imitated and sold by other
manufacturers, but SCHULTZ
QUALITY is rarely equaled
and never surpassed.

SCHULTZ QUALITY is well known
throughout the florists’ trade, and
can be compared with no other. The
question of price is never considered
where QUALITY is demanded.

WE HAVE FOR SALE

On the 8th day of February, 1916, a splendid
greenhouse with several acres of land in the
town of Lapel, Ind., eight miles west of Ander-
son, and in one of the finest farming communi-
ties in the world. Lapel is a little town of
probably 1500 people. The sale will be held on
the place on the 8th of February, and the real
estate will be sold either as a whole or in par-
cels, there being about 35 town lots in addition
to the greenhouse. The terms of the sale are
one-third cash, one-third in nine months, and
one-third in eighteen months. Mr. Barnes, who
founded this business, had worked up a magni-
ficent business, but unfortunately he died and
there is no one in his family that can take his
place. It is a splendid opening for someone
desiring to engage in the business.

tion of officers for the ensuing year
resulted as follows: President, Harry
A. Schroyer; vice-president, Elmer J.

elect Schroyer took the chair and in a
neat inaugural address thanked the
club for the high honor conferred upon
him. He suggested lines of work to
be taken up by the club during the
coming year. The committees for the
year are: Program—Harry K. Rohrer,
Thomas R. Fries, Willis B. Girvin,

It was decided to pay the secretary
for his duties each year. S. 8. Pennock,
of Philadelphia, was present, and
showed a number of vases of the newer
carnations. In the reds Aviator, Belle
Washburn and Nebraska looked fine.
In light pink Dorner’s Nancy showed
well and seemed to be an improved

in all its glory and it certainly is a
beautiful pink. In the Mrs. Ward

pressions of the variety’s habit of
growth, etc. The new members elected
were H. S. Williamson, amateur, and
B. H. Sterneman, grower for H. A.
Schroyer. James Brown, of Coates-
ville, was a welcome visitor.

A Trip to Strasburg.

The meeting was preceded by a trip
to Strasburg to inspect the carnations
there. Amos N. Rohrer was first called
upon. He grows the standard varieties
of carnations and all were in the
best possible condition. Mr. Rohrer is
one of the best growers in the county.
At the Chas. B. Herr range, Mrs. Ward
and Mrs. Akehurst are grown as the
pink varieties. The latter does well

here. Matchless is grown for white and
Mr. Herr’s batch was a sight not easily
forgotten. For red Mr. Herr still
grows Beacon, and the beds of it look
as robust and thrifty as the day it was
disseminated, and, as far as profit is
concerned, it may be placed close to
the top of the column. A bed of Cham-
pion is in bloom, but I doubt its abil-
ity to displace old Beacon. Alice does
well and is liked. A bench of Dagmar
showed remarkable quality. Last, but
not least, is the planting of Enchant-
ress Supreme, which is much thought
of by Mr. Herr. The establishment
throughout is a model of order and
cleanliness and reflects the ability of
a master of the profession.

The next meeting of the club will be
held February 17, and the Willis B.
Girvin greenhouses, at Leola, Pa., will
be visited on the same day.

Various Notes.

D. T. Connor, of the Lord & Burn-

order for two large greenhouses from
B. F. Barr.

Mr. and Mrs. Emanuel P. Hostetter,
of Manheim, Pa., entertained at dinner

Elmer J. Weaver and H. K. Rohrer.
Mr. Hostetter’s greenhouses were in-
spected. ‘There are immense plantings
of orchid-flowering sweet peas of the
highest quality in bloom, and many
blooms with 24-inch stems were noted.

8ST. LOUIS.

The Market.

The market was in a poor condition
last week because of the shortage of
stock. The demand was steady and the
volume of trade satisfactory. The
cloudy weather is blamed for the ex-
treme shortage of stock. The supply
of carnations increased during the lat-

ter part of the week and orders for/

them are again being filled in full. A
glut in carnations is predicted for the
end of the month. Roses, too, have in-
creased somewhat in supply, but still
bring high prices. A drop in prices
is looked for by the end of this week.
Violets are coming in more plentifully
and are of good quality. Sweet peas
are fine, not yet plentiful, but sufficient
to fill all orders. The dark weather
has hurt the quality of these. Valley
and lilies sell well and maintain their
usual prices.

January 20, and completed all arrange-
ments for receiving and entertaining
the visitors. The chairmen of the va-
rious committees reported all work
completed and ready for the opening.

The attendance at the meeting of the
Retail Florists’ Association, held Janu-
ary 17, at the Mission Inn Garden, was
large. A lecture with lantern slides,
given by the National Cash Register
Co., was much enjoyed by the members.
The election of officers resulted in the
renomination of the present officers.
The members of this association play
an important part in this week’s carna-
tion convention and they agree to do all
in their power to assure its success.

The St. Louis County Growers’ Asso-
ciation will hold its meeting February
2, at the Eleven Mile House. Accord-
ing to Secretary Deutschmann, the
members will attend the carnation ex-
hibition this week. A general discus-
sion of the exhibition will take place
at this meeting and a full attendance
is expected.

W. C. Smith, of the W.
Wholesale Floral Co., commenting on
the shortage of stock, says he never
before saw so great a shortage at this
time of the year on roses. All local
growers are off crop at the same time,
but the big cut is coming soon.

W. W. Ohlweiler, chairman of the
spring flower show committee, says the
committeemen are working hard on
plans for the show and that a lengthy
report will be given at the next meet-
ing of the Florists’ Club.

The St. Louis Seed Co. has a pe-
euliar fish on exhibition this week. The

lets and bulbous stock has been quite
large this season and the quality has
been excellent.

Carl Doerflinger, who has charge of

The officers of the St. Louis Florists’

David Geddis, manager of Vander-

pects to take in the National Flower
Show at Philadelphia in March. He is
making efforts to induce others to make
the trip with him and has hopes of
quite a large representation from St.
Louis.

Martin B. Lechner, of Lechner Bros.,

start next week on a two months’ trip

its new location in the Caxton building.

F. C. Weber, the Kalisch Bros. Floral

BOSTON.

The Market.

At last a break in prices has come.
It is doubtful if Boston ever had so
long a spell of high prices as the one
which started a few days before Christ-
mas and ended January 22. The cause
of the drop, which had been expected,
was a warm wave which sent the tem-
perature up to 66 degrees January 22,
the highest ever recorded in January
in this city. Carnations were the first
to decline, roses suffering January 24.
There is no real slump, however, such
as we had a year ago, and the pros-
pects for a fine winter’s trade are ex-
cellent.

Roses still are selling well, but lower
than a week ago. All short-stemmed
stock made $6 per hundred until Jan-
uary 24. Beauties are moving a little
better, with lower prices. There is a
shortage of short-stemmed stock, which
keeps prices up on this grade. Hadley,
Hoosier Beauty, Richmond and D’Aren-
berg are all good and sell well. Sun-
burst is somewhat off color and in short
supply. Russell, Shawyer and Stanley
are all eagerly bought and, as yet, there
is no surplus of either Killarney or
White Killarney. Carnations are on
the decline. Up to January 22 noth-
ing had sold below $4. The quality is
fine. Violets are lower. The habit of
wearing these flowers on the streets
died out a few years ago and they have
not sold so well since that time.

Sweet peas are much more numerous
and sell well, especially the Spencers.
Dutch bulbous stock is arriving in much
larger quantities and has dropped in
price. Freesias are lower; so are callas
and lilies. Yellow marguerites and
bachelor’s buttons sell well. Mignon-
ette now is abundant. Of calendulas
there is a heavy supply. Pansies con-
tinue to clean up well, as well as for-
get-me-not and English primroses.

Valley is more abundant and some-

.what lower in price; so are cattleyas.

Gardenias still bring $6 per dozen for

Various Notes.

On and after January 28 Penn’s store
at 43 Bromfield street will be closed
and all business transacted from the
new store at 124 Tremont street. The
Robert Burns window at the Tremont
street store, arranged by J. Eisman, has
been attracting crowds of visitors and
is the finest thing of the kind to be
seen in Boston. It practically trans-
ports one to the land of Burns and one
can almost smell the heather of the
moorlands when viewing it.

Edward Bingham, of Dedham, the
well known violet specialist, had a nar-
row escape from drowning January 16,
when skating with his children on the
Charles river. It was getting some-
what dusk when he skated into a hole
where the water was thirty to forty
feet deep. Fortunately, he managed
to support himself by the arms on the
ice until he was pulled out. As the
temperature was 14 degrees above zero,
he was well chilled when he got home,
several miles distant.

John J. Fee, of Jamaica Plain, is cut-
ting splendid La Reine tulips and Gold-
en Spur narcissi. His cold storage lilies
have a high reputation here.

Harry Quint says business at his
Boylston street store is good, but he has

Chatelaine begonias are becoming
quite popular on the market here. A. F.
Coolidge, of Cambridge, well known as
a nephrolepis specialist, has a splendid
lot of this begonia.

John Newman and J. Shannon & Son,
of Woburn, each has splendid single
violets this season. Mr. Newman is
strong on calendulas, mignonette and
Paper Whites.

A. R. Smith, of West Newton, has an
excellent lot of calendulas, English
primroses and Asparagus Sprengeri.
Burgess & Cooney, of Maplewood, also
have English primroses, in addition to
their bulbous stock and carnations.

Cahill & Beasley, of East Milton, and
W. E. Turner, of Woburn, are large
shippers of pansies at present.

A. G. Lundquist is another of our ca-
lendula specialists who grows them well.
He also has single violets, Paper Whites,
Campernelles and Asparagus plumosus
and Sprengeri.

From H. Johnson, of Woburn, Paper
Whites and calendulas now are of ex-
cellent quality.

The Mishawum Flower Co., of Wo-
burn, is the largest shipper of cut longi-
florum lilies to the wholesale market at
present.

J. Streiferd & Son, of East Braintree,
are having good success this season with
Killarney and White Killarney roses,
as well as with carnations and callas.

H. 8S. Rogers terminates sixteen years
of continuous service with Penn’s this
week. A. L. Brock also leaves. Both
have been in the Bromfield street
store.

John McFarland, of North Easton,
has a grand lot of giganteum lilies com-

ily on valley now.

A. E. E. Koch, of Nobscot, is one of

The Florists’ Review

‘

JANUARY 27, 1916.

LOS ANGELES.

The Market.

The cutting off of many small towns
by flood naturally made business quiet
last week, and express shipments were
held up both ways, causing much in-
convenience. The non-arrival of The
Review was looked upon as one of the
chief inconveniences to the trade last
week, but as even first-class mail from
the north and east did not arrive, The
Review’s delay was explained. From
nearby towns the reports of flood dam-
ages make rather sad reading—acres of
fine orange and other orchards were
washed away. In Los Angeles and im-
mediate vicinity we have been singu-
larly fortunate and the good work done
by the city and county authorities is
bearing fruit. Possibly because people
were driven indoors by the rain, cut
flowers and plants were in good de-
mand, while funeral work was brisk.
Roses still are scarce and naturally all
outdoor stock has suffered and is short.
At the time of writing the weather is
clearing and the water receding, but
it is unsafe to prophesy anything. We
have, however, had about three times
as much rain to date as fell at this
time last year, so we have hopes of
fine weather soon.

Various Notes.

With three nurserymen directors on
the board of the Montebello Land &
Water Co., it appears as though the rest
of the trade in that rapidly advancing
section ought to be well looked after,
especially when the directors are three
live wires like Fred Howard, J. Die-
terich and H, W. Turner. This is sure
some combination on the water wagon
—no!—board.

Friends who knew G. W. Newman,
late of the 8S. Murata Co., were greatly
shocked when a rumor reached the city
that he had been shot in Mexico. So
far no contradiction of the report has
been received. If this is true, Mr.
Newman leaves a wife and several chil-
dren.

R. Garland, of the force of Wright’s
Flower Shop, is handing the cigars
around, the occasion being the arrival
of an 8-pound boy.

John Fincken has joined Paul Staiger.
The partnership between them is set-
tled. The business in the future will
be known as Staiger & Fincken. Mr,
Fincken is a skilled grower and clever
decorator, and with two practical men
like these there ought to be a good busi-
ness done. Several changes are to be
made at the salesyard at Washington
street and a new lath house is to be
built. The stock, both here and at the
Lomita growing quarters, is in excel-
lent shape.

One of the most beautiful roses ever
grown at the H. W. Turner place un-
doubtedly is ‘Willowmere. The soft
pink with the golden yellow base is a
superb color combination. This variety
has the vigor necessary to a good forc-
ing rose and plenty of petalage.
Hoosier Beauty is extra fine here and
a great favorite with retailers. A single
or semi-double rose called Old Gold—
something in the way of Irish Fireflame

but larger—is unusually taking in the
bud, while among the baby roses the
pure white Schneewittchen is especially
beautiful. H. R. Richards.

SEATTLE, WASH.

The Market.

Business continues good, and while
there is not quite such a scarcity of
flowers as during the last two weeks
there are none too many, which condi-
tion makes for better business for all
concerned. Carnations have loosened
up a little and more of them are coming
to town, but not enough for the de-
mand, which is a good thing. Paper
Whites are plentiful, but sell well, and
Romans are abundant. Not much other
bulbous stock is on sale. A few pots of
tulips and hyacinths are coming in.
Roses are selling well and the supply of
them seems to be adequate. There is
plenty of valley, and orchids are in most
of the stores. Of pot plants many good
cyclamens are here and cinerarias are
fairly plentiful. Azaleas come in slow-
ly and good ones are hard to procure.

Various Notes.

Owing to alterations in the building
lately occupied by the Crescent Flower
Shop, Thomas Rhoades, the owner, has

,given up his store and has accepted

AMAA A oh ak ok ek

the position of manager of the Flower
Shop, on Pike street.

H. E. Rasmussen, who for a number
of years has conducted a nursery on
Broadway, combining this’ business with
landscape gardening, has relinquished
the ground occupied by him and has
secured an important position near
Tampa, Fla., where he is to be engaged
in laying out an estate for Mrs. Potter
Palmer. Mr. Rasmussen has had con-
siderable experience, having been em-
ployed at this kind of work for a num-
ber of years in the north of England,
prior to which he gained considerable
knowledge on the continent. During
his sojourn in Seattle Mr. Rasmussen
was a strong advocate of the best in
city improvements. He has laid out
several places which bear witness to his
taste and skill and he has always been
a helper in anything that stood for
betterment in matters connected with
the trade. His friends here, while re-
gretting his departure, wish him every
success in his new line of endeavor.

Monte Christensen, who has_ been
managing the Flower Shop, on Pike
street, has had to go to California on
account of Mrs. Christensen’s poor
health. It is hoped the change may
prove beneficial.

Rosaia Bros. have rebuilt the boiler
house at their greenhouses, which re-
cently was destroyed by fire. The new
structure is of corrugated iron and

Many shops are making a fine orchid

oncidiums and odontoglossums. The
forced azaleas are less in evidence and
rhododendrons still are scarce and
rather poor. Camellias and heather do
fairly well and a few first-class prim-
ulas are offered. Potted ferns find no
great demand, but considerable quanti-

wanted.
Various Notes. —

Most of the growers have been out
of valley, but P. Ferrari still is bring-
ing in a good cut and is not cleaned

The E. W. McLellan Co. has been re-
ceiving large shipments of galax leaves
and has done a good business on this
item. This company has a fine crop of
smilax under lath, which is moving

out in good shape, and its cut of roses:

is about the only really large offering,
the Beauties being especially good.

J. A. Carbone, the Berkeley orchid
grower, has been holding back a large
crop of phalgnopsis, which now is be-
ginning to come in. He also has some
good lelias and other varieties, all of
which are in good demand.

A. O. Stein reports considerable deco-
rative business. He had the Prager
wedding decoration at San Mateo Jan-
uary 16, for which the color scheme was
yellow, and he took about all the daffo-
dils he could find, besides oncidiums
and acacia.

Emile Serveau, of Fillmore street,
says sales have been good for this
time of year, at which time he never
looks for any rush.

The Sunset Nursery, of Oakland, re-
cently received a large shipment of
oriental plants.

Podesta & Baldocchi have installed
an ‘‘orchid tree’’ in one of their win-
dows and are using it effectively for
displays of orchids, of which they now
are keeping a considerable variety on
hand.

The Jordan Park Floral Co., at 323
Clement street, reports a fair: business
ever since the holidays, though the scar-
city of stock is found to be quite a
handicap.

H. J. Kessel, of the Richmond Fern-
ery, reports a strong demand for Adian-
tum California, keeping his plants close-

PORTLAND, ORE.

The Market.

Trade brightened noticeably after the
cold spell broke on the night of Janu-
ary 19. There was a general increase
in orders for decorations and funeral
work. Consequently, during the latter
part of the week there was a most
acute shortage of stock. Shipping or-
ders could be filled only partly and it
took close figuring to make the flowers
cover the local demand.

Growers of bulbous stock complain
that a high percentage of the bulbs are
non-productive, or yield inferior blooms.
In some cases there have been total
losses and one large shipment was con-
demned and never taken out of the
customhouse. It is claimed that the
bulbs were heated in transit because
of the careless stowing on steamers
and delays en route.

There are hardly any locally grown

Club Meeting. °

At the meeting of the Portland Flo-

the floral center, a feature of the rose
festival to be held here June 6 to 9,
were presented. James O. Convill, the
festival director in charge of the floral
center, stated that the plans prepared
by Julius Dossche had been officially
accepted by the board of directors and
that Mr. Dossche had been appointed
his assistant to carry them out. He
said the directors were depending on
the floral center to form one of the
most prominent features of the festival
and had appropriated enough money to
produce a larger and more perfect cen-
ter than that of last year.

Mr. Dossche called attention to the
expectations of the festival board and
stated that it would require the best
efforts of all the growers to furnish

AMERIOAN SEED TRADE ASSOCIATION.

President, John M. Lupton, Mattituck, L. I.;
retary-Treasurer, O. EH. Kendel, Cleveland, oO.

THE Oriental Seed Co., of San Fran-
cisco, has discontinued business.

THERE is no alarm about the supply
of peas, partly because of the absence
of any market for them last spring.

THE Alton Seed Co., of Sidney, O., has
been incorporated by -W. B. Alton .and
others. The capital stock is $15,000.

THE referee in bankruptcy will sell
the assets of the Griswold Seed Co., Lin-
coln, Neb., at public auction January
29. An upset price seventy-five per cent
of the appraised value has been set.

THE 1916 Seed Growers’ Directory of
the South Dakota Experiment Association
is ready for distribution and may be had
free of charge upon request to the
Agronomy Department, State College,
Brookings, S. D.

THE convention of the National Can-
ners’ Association to be held in Louis-
ville, Ky., February 7 to 11, will be at-
tended by S. F. Leonard, J. C. Leonard,
A. J. Coleman, W. A. Sutherland and J.
F. Gary, of the Leonard Seed Co., Chi-
cago.

THE newly organized Oklahoma Seed
Growers’ Association has elected the fol-
lowing officers to serve during 1916:
President, George Bishop, of Cordell;
vice-president, Harold Robertson, of Sum-
ner; secretary-treasurer, M. A. Beeson,
of Stillwater.

THE good will and interests of the
McVay Seed & Floral Co., of Birming-
ham, Ala., have been purchased by Mrs.

S. S. Mobley, R. V. Harris and L. E. |

Harris. The concern will continue oper-
ations under the same name. R. V. Har-
ris, who has been connected with the
business for some time, has been named
president, and L. E. Harris secretary.

Worp has been received by Arnold
Ringier, secretary of the W. W. Bar-
nard Co., Chicago, that W. W. Barnard,
president of the company, who left for
Santa Barbara, Cal., last week, was
held up two days at Fort Yuma by
washouts, but has reached his destina-
tion safely and is feeling much im-
proved after his long illness.

THE letter from Congressman Towner
to his constituent, Henry Field, published
in this issue of The Review, is a com-
mentary on our legislative system. The
congressman expresses the hope that the
session may do more good than harm,
and, where bills affecting vitally our im-
portant industry are introduced ‘‘by mis-
take,’’ unintentionally, ‘‘hope’’ seems
the right word to use.

THERKILDSON CAN REST.

In The Review for December 23,
W. F. Therkildson sounded an alarm
to the seed trade over H. R. 636, in-
troduced by Congressman Anderson,
the purpose of which would be to ap-
ply to seeds the same parcel post zone
rates as apply to other merchandise in
parcels above four ounces in weight.
Both Mr. Therkildson and The Review
asked seedsmen to write to their con-
gressmen asking the defeat of this bill.

one of those who wrote promptly. This
is the reply he received, under date of
January 17, from Congressman Horace
M. Towner:

‘At once upon receipt of your let-
ter with regard to H. R. 636, I took the
matter up \with Mr. Anderson, who in-
troduced the bill. He did not seem to
know anything about it, but after look-
ing the matter up told me that the bill
was introduced by mistake; that it had
been drafted in the last Congress, and
that when he told his secretary to re-
introduce his bills this one was by mis-
take included among them. He says
that he does not want it passed and will
withdraw it, so there is no danger of
the bill being passed.

‘‘We are facing an unusual number
of hard problems this session, and it
seems as if matters are getting worse
all the time. However, I suppose we
will blunder through in some way or
other, and sincerely hope that we will
not do more harm than good.’’

‘‘WHATEVER YOU THINKE.’’

Congressmen are coming to recognize
that a considerable percentage of the
public does not approve of free seeds.
The editor of The Review, who lives in
the district represented by James R.
Mann, found this circular letter in his
home mail the other day:

I have requested the Agricultural Department
to mail to you sometime later under my signa-
ture a small package of the flower seed which
the government is distributing this year. These
are good seeds and ought to be used. If you can
not make use of them yourself, give them to
someone who will. Whatever may be nae
of the propriety of the government doing this
kind of thing, these seeds if used will afford
someone instruction and pleasure, if planted, and
add beautiful flowers where otherwise there
might be vacant space or ugly weeds. Help
to make Chicago beautiful. The planting of seed
by the children should be particularly encouraged.

Is ‘‘SHOWING’’ THEM.

The University of Missouri College
of Agriculture is doing the trade a
service in showing planters that it pays
to patronize seedsmen~of established
reputation. ‘‘Cheap garden seed is
often dear at any price,’’ says its bulle-
tin. ‘‘A high price is not necessarily
a guarantee of high quality, but it
does not pay to buy cheap seeds which
may not grow, or may not produce
vegetables of a good variety if they
do grow. The loss of time and ground
is so great that the slightly higher cost
of seeds furnished by reliable. firms
saves the planter money in the’ Yong
run.

‘¢The buyer must depend entirely
upon the reputation of the seedsman to

insure his getting seed of the variety {

No, you are all wrong if you think
wearing skirts makes business a cinch.
Oh, no, business is business on strictly
business principles, that is, if you want
to compete with the best competitors,
and they are none too good at times;
knocks and bumps all develop when you
touch the other fellow’s dollar; and I
can tell a few confidential stories on the
combination of business-girl, sweetheart
and competitor in one little person. It
takes some temperament, I know it
from experience, but it’s great to be
in the swim, anyway; sometimes. I
think my nerve and confidence are
made of cork, they can’t sink; but I
sure have had some battles.

- May the Lord love the men! Most of
the live ones like women, but some of
them wouldn’t trust their own mother,
but bless their good hearts, most of
them trust me as much as they do the
other Bulb Peddlers. I know: this, I
can only fool them once and then be
ancient history if I fail to please; a
man is not so forgiving at times; I must
deliver the goods, if I want a good

come-back. What can I do for you,
please ?

LILY BULBS

The quality of lily bulbs
differs Gore than the quality
of most other bulbs and as
growers’ profits are regulated
so largely by that quality, it
is most necessary to get the
best there is. Now, there are
no better lily bulbs grown
than Horseshoe Brand Gi-
ganteum. They cost more
to grow than’ most other
brands, and they are worth
more to a grower than any
brand we know of, consider-

You

can rely upon this brand

ing the average results.

more than most brands be-
cause it is more uniform year
in some

after year. Price

bulbs is
factor in the profit, but the

a very important

fellow who buys lily bulbs by
price, will get burnt forty-
nine times out of fifty. Prices
fluctuate in bulbs just as they
do in wheat, potatoes, or any
other commodity. Send for
prices on lily bulbs before
buying elsewhere, especially
if you want quantities.

me Seeds Grow'

Burpee-Quality Seeds Help
Solve the Market Problem

It is our pleasure to record a greatly improved market condition, and
we confidently predict that 1916 will prove a most prosperous season
for the Market Grower.

Many causes contributed to the unsatisfactory vegetable market of
1915, and it is also true that these same causes created a most
profitable market for Staples, such as Wheat, Corn, Oats, etc.

During 1915 we attended many meetings where market growers
gathered to formulate plans to overcome the then prevailing unfavor-

‘able conditions. Much good resulted from these conventions, as they

have proved beyond question that inferior produce in large quantities,
dumped without thought of quality or condition, has done more to
demoralize the markets than any other factor.

The discussion at these meetings have brought the invariable con-
clusion that Quality Produce did sell—and sell
well—at the highest price obtainable.

Quality Produce can no more be the harvest of
inferior seed than high-bred cattle can be the
produce of inferior or diseased stock

Burpee’s Seeds are known the world over as
the American Standard of Excellence. When
you buy Burpee’s Seeds the element of doubt is
removed so far as is possible by human care.

A careful canvass of our Market Grower friends
has brought this answer: ‘‘Yes,*we certainly grew first-class crops
from Burpee’s Seeds.’’

The conclusion is inevitable: Burpee’s Seeds grow Quality Produce,
and Quality Produce brought good prices. Burpee’s Seeds help solve
the market problem,

Did you use Burpee’s Seeds in 1915? If not, we “earnestly solicit
your orders for 1916. The profit is mutual.

Burpee’s Annual for 1916, our complete retail catalogue of 182 pages,
has already been made. If you have failed to receive it, please write
us at once and a duplicate copy will be forwarded.

Agriculture has_sent. to Congress a de-
tailed statement of the purchases, of
which the above is a recapitulation.
The place, quantity, price and date on
each purchase is given, but not the
name of the seller. For instance, Feb-
ruary 4, 1914, 30,000 pounds of radish
seed in five varieties at 8% cents per
pound was purchased on one order from
someone at Chicago, Ill. Those who
care for such information should ask
their congressman to send a copy of
Senate Document 234.

MOTT-LY GLEANINGS.

The Holmes-Letherman Seed Co., of
Canton, O., will celebrate its anniver-
sary by moving into new quarters, a
short distance from the old stand.
Manager H. L. Holmes piloted me
through the new building now almost
completed, which will lack nothing to
make it thoroughly up-to-the-minute
in every respéct. It is fire and vermin-
proof. The ground floor is 32x103 and
the basement is much larger. The up-
per floors will be used temporarily as
offices.

The Botzum Bros. Co., of Akron, O.,
is busy packeting and filling early or-
ders for its extensive counter trade.

The Van Gorder-Hapgood Co. and
the Masters-Dougherty Co., of Warren,
O., have their full complements of seed.
The scarcity in some insecticides is
causing anxiety. WwW. M.

HOW TO APPLY FORMALDEHYDE.

We are taking the liberty of writing
you in regard to the use of formalde-
hyde in sterilizing lettuce soil. If you
can advise us, we shall appreciate it
greatly. 8. B.—N. Y.

While formaldehyde is not so satis-
factory as steam for sterilizing soil,
it is more convenient. In my experi-
ments with stem-rot of carnations, one
part of formaldehyde to 150 parts of
water, applied at the rate of one gallon
per square foot of bench, gave fairly
good results. After drenching the
bench, newspapers were placed over the
soil for forty-eight hours to retain the
fumes of formaldehyde. Under normal
conditions the soil will be dry enough
to plant about three days after the
solution is applied. It will cost in the
neighborhood of 1% cents per square
foot to sterilize your soil with formalde-
hyde. G. Ti. FP,

TOMATOES.

I want to grow tomatoes inside in
the spring and would like some light
on the subject. I will start them
about March 1. I grew some Earliana
last year and succeeded quite well, but
I do not know how to trim them up.
What I had grew all over the place.
I have seen them trained up and would
like some information about this.

G. S.—N. J.

Train your tomatoes to a single stem.
This simply means that you must let
the main stem grow unpinched and rub
off all side shoots, or laterals, as they
appear. Grown to single stems, your
plants can be set twenty to twenty-
four inches apart. in the row and they
can be run up to any necessary height.
Usually, however, it is best to pinch

than usual. We have not suffered the

The Florists’ Review JANUARY 27, 1916.

try have, however, but no one has had
anything to throw away. It was hard
to get stock from out of town that was
fit to offer.

We have had much rain for January
and a week of winter weather during
which the thermometer registered near-
ly zero. It is warm again and snow-
drops and winter aconite cheer up the
~ lawns. We have had them in plenty
the last three or four days. Daffodils
are well up and, should it not turn cold
again, there will be blooms in a fort-
night. There is a good supply of every-
thing, especially carnations and roses.
Carnations are good in quality and the
growers are making good wholesale
shipments daily. Prices'on carnations
are better. Violets are scarce and most
of those used are shipped in. This is
unusual for this city at this season.
Peas are scarce, few having been
planted early. Those offered clean up
quickly. Orchids have been slow in
coming in and it is becoming a ques-
tion whether they will be here in
sufficient quantities to meet the demand
for Valentine’s day. Roses are of bet-
ter quality and the assortment of vari-
eties is good. Plant trade is opening
nicely at wholesale and everyone is busy
propagating as rapidly as he can, for
a heavy plant business is expected this
year.

Various Notes.

Mrs. Tanner, sister of Floyd Bralliar,
was killed in an automobile accident
near Macon, Ga., January 6, and Mr.
Bralliar’s father was severely injured
in the same accident. Mr. Bralliar
went to Macon at once and brought
back his father to a Nashville sani-
tarium and took his sister’s remains
to Iowa for interment.

The Tennessee Florists’ Association
met here January 24 in conjunction
with the Tennessee State Nurserymen’s
Association.

The Joy Floral Co. is doing a good
wholesale business, being sold out most
of the time. The company is doing
more business this January than it has
ever done during any corresponding
month.

Geny Bros. are cutting the best Ra-
diance roses that I have seen this sea-
son. They also have good potted
azaleas.

Haury & Sons have moved into their
new quarters on Church street. The
new store has more display room, better
windows and a better location. This
is a big step for this concern and should
be the beginning of bigger business.

McIntyre Bros. had a good display
of pot plants in their show room. They
are cutting roses and carnations of good
quality.

Joe Browne has his place in splendid
shape for spring business. He is hav-
ing good business this winter. F. B.

Fort Smith, Ark.—Probably the heav- |

iest loser in Fort Smith during the re-
cent cold wave was George Rye, ‘‘Some
Florist,’’ who sustained a damage of
about $500 to plants and spring seed-

lings.

June 28 to 30, 1916.

G. Howarp Frost, proprietor of the
Brae Burn Nursery, of West Newton,
Mass., has been elected president of the
Massachusetts Nurserymen’s Association.

JAMES M. FRYE, a widely known
nurseryman of Winchester, Va., passed
away last week after a lingering illness.
During the Civil war, Mr. Frye was a
member of the Eleventh Virginia Cav-
alry of the Confederate army and while
in that service was severely wounded by
a bullet passing through his body. He
was about 80 years of age and is sur-
vived by a widow, three daughters and
one son.

REcorD recently has been made at
Chicago of the sale of forty-nine acres
of the Peterson Nursery holdings for
an expressed consideration of $83,600.
The purchaser will subdivide, William

IMPORTS OF 1914-15.

It is interesting to note that in the
fiscal year of the government ending
June 30, 1915, the imports of nursery
stock were almost the same in quantity

as in the year ending June 30, 1914,
before the war. The imports for 1914
were 57,525 cases, as against 57,192
cases in 1915, a year of war.

Federal Horticultural Board, showing
the count of nursery stock imports, to-

When the two greatest exhibitions ever held on the Pacific Coast send their
gold medals all this way east, it means something more than success at a local
show. It means that, of all the world’s greatest growers, not one could pro-
duce Cannas to equal Swas-teekas, let alone to beat them.

The Review for December 10, 1914.

In this issue the table covering last
year’s imports is printed in full, with
the imports from the principal import-
ing countries for the year before.

WHITE PINE BLISTER RUST.

The Secretary of Agriculture deems
it necessary, in order to effectively pre-
vent the introduction into the United
States of the white pine blister rust
(Peridermium strobi Kleb.), to extend
the provisions of Notice of Quarantine
No. 7, issued May 21, 1913, to forbid
the importation of all five-leafed pines
from the Dominion of Canada and
Newfoundland.

Because the white pine blister rust

exists in the states of New Hampshire,
Vermont, Massachusetts, Connecticut,
New York and Pennsylvania, the Fed-
eral Horticultural Board deems it neces-
sary to quarantine said states, or such
portions thereof as may be found to be
essential, in accordance with Section 8
of the Plant Quarantine Act of August
20, 1912, to prevent the movement
from said states to other states and ter-
ritories of five-leafed pine nursery stock
and black currant nursery stock.
Because of the rust the authorities

the stem and root of young seedlings.
The loss from this source is not gener-
ally appreciated, for the poor stand of
seedlings is frequently laid to poor
germination. While the loss in one year
from this cause may amount to only
ten per cent, yet in the next year damp-
ing off may cause a total failure of the
stand. This uncertainty of crop has
resulted in the‘ high cost of coniferous
trees for forest planting and has in''the
past caused American numserymen to
purchase their seedling stock in Europe.
On account of the white pine blister
rust and the pine shoot moth intro-
duced on imported pines from Europe,
an embargo has been placed on all pine
nursery stock grown in Europe. This
makes it doubly important that the
damping off of seedlings be controlled.

A measure of control has been se-
cured at some nurseries by the use of
sterile subsoil, but this is not alto-
gether practicable when considered on
a large scale. Excessive moisture and
shade in the seed bed should be
avoided. Seeds should not be sown
more thickly than necessary to secure
a good stand, for a crowded stand
makes it easier for the damping-off
fungi to spread from one plant to an-
other. Sowing in summer or late fall
has resulted in decreased losses at some
nurseries and is worthy of trial.

Soil disinfection, however, has proved
the best method of combating the dis-
ease. Sulphuric acid, copper sulphate,
zine chloride and formaldehyde have
given better results than a large num-
ber of other chemicals used, in experi-
ments carried on in twenty-one different
localities.

It is only possible to learn by trial
just which chemical agent will best
control damping off in any given local-
ity or on a given soil, but any nursery-
man who contemplates the use of soil
disinfectants should write to the De-
partment of Agriculture, for specific
advice adapted to his particular loca-
tion, and keep the department informed
of his experience.

Buffalo, N. Y.—W. J. Smith is pleased
with his crop of Golden Spur narcissi.
He expects to cut about 75,000 of these
during the next three weeks.

central feature will be some large beds
of roses about a rose fountain. There
are sixteen booths for community ex-
hibits arranged along the sides of the
plat. The plans were officially accepted
by the society and Mr. Convill was
assured that the members would unite
in an effort to make the floral center
come fully up to expectations.

F. A. Van Kirk was added to the
membership of the committee on ex-
hibitions, which has the rose festival
matters in charge. Complying with the
provisions of the by-laws, the chair ap-
pointed a nominating committee con-
sisting of the following: John Holden,
chairman; E. H. White, F. A. Van Kirk,
J. Feser, A. J. Clarke, Otto Lemke,
H. A. Lewis. The committee will re-
port at the May meeting and candi-
dates will be elected at the June meet-
ing.

H. <A. Lewis, president of the
Multnomah County Fair Association,
stated that. more money would be set
aside for floral beds on the fair grounds
at Gresham, and asked the assistance
of the society in getting growers to
make exhibits. A committee with
power to act was authorized by motion
and the president appointed Otto
Griessel, R. R. Routledge and J. G.
Bacher to look after the matter.

One new member was elected and one
application for membership presented.
A short discussion of fuels and experi-
ences during the recent high winds and
low temperatures occupied the time un-
til luncheon was announced. Attend-
ing the meeting as visitors were: A.
Appledorn, a florist from California,
and E. Nyden, landscape architect for
the school board.

E. T. Mische said he had a call to
Eugene, Ore., to examine and criticise
the plans for a rearrangement of the
buildings and landscape features of the
Oregon State University, which had
been prepared by the students of the
landscape department. Several grow-
ers told of the pleasures (?) they ex-
perienced in cutting off a crumpled
smokestack or replacing lights of glass
in the most exposed parts of their
ranges, with the wind blowing a gale
and the mercury in the ‘‘teens.’’

F. A. Van Kirk will act as secretary
of the festival center managers. Ap-
plications should be made to him by
growers who want to put in exhibits.

The society’s new letterhead was
much admired by the members. It is
printed from a cut specially prepared
under the supervision of Treasurer
Forbes and Secretary Niklas, and was
pronounced by all to be an artistic de-
sign.

Various Notes.

Mrs. G. Gooch, of San Francisco,
called ‘on the trade last week.

O. E. Panzer recently was pleasantly
surprised to receive by parcel post a
package of seeds from Germany. Be-
ing long overdue, he had about lost
hope of getting the seeds. The pack-
age contained novelties which he is
anxious to try.

During the recent storm heavy icicles
formed on the copings of some of the
tall buildings in the business district,
and the sidewalks had to be closed to
pedestrians in some places. The 8S. G.
Lubliner store in the Portland hotel
was one of the sufferers, having his
sidewalk roped off for a couple of days,
until the icicles could be removed.

E. J. Steele reports his pansy seed-
lings in fine shape, having been pro-
tected against the cold by the heavy
snow.

R. C. Cook had to abandon his open
stand on Fourth street and transact

business from his basement during the
cold days. The flower stands at the
public market were not opened.

Due to the loss of trade and the in-
crease in the cost of production, the
cold spell has put a bad. crimp in the
florists’ profits for the first month of
the year. Ss. W. W.

Morris, Ill.—Bad luck in the form of
a cold snap descended on the Morris
Floral Co. recently, when two houses
of sweet peas and one of daisies were
badly frozen. The mercury registered
20 degrees below zero and the arctic
wind recorded fifty miles per hour.

KANSAS CITY.

The Market.

Business is excellent and everybody
is well satisfied with the sales made
last week. Stock cleaned up without
any trouble. There still is a scarcity
of roses and even inferior stock sells
at a good price. Bulbous stock is com-
ing in more freely. Tulips and Golden
Spurs have appeared in larger quanti-
ties. Carnations, violets and sweet
peas have arriyed in larger numbers
than heretofore. Good pot plants have
been a big help to the cut flower
scarcity.

Various Notes.

The Kellogg Flower & Plant Co. re-
orts an easier market in cut flowers.

he supply of carnations, violets and
sweet peas has increased. This concern
reports a good out-of-town business.

Samuel Murray had a good window
display of oncidiums and other orchids,
which were attractively arranged in
baskets. After being confined to his
home for several weeks, Mr. Murray is
again able to be about. He reports a
good trade in table decorations.

A new store will be opened about
February 1-on East Eleventh street
under the name of Gilday & Kidmor.

Richard Jarrett is the proud father
of a baby girl, born January 21. Nel-
son Jarrett now is a grandpa.

T. J. Noll had a vacation last week
in the form of a term on the jury. He
reports a larger supply of violets and
sweet peas.

A. Elberfield left for New Orleans on
a few weeks’ vacation. He reports a
heavy run of funeral work.

Edward Humfeld reports that he has
made more blankets since the first of
the year than during any two months
he has been in business. He has a nice
lot of azaleas that will be in good shape
for St. Valentine’s day.

A. F. Barbe is now cutting a bumper
crop of carnations. Funeral work has
been heavy.

The W. L. Rock Flower Co. is cut-
ting 3,000 to 4,000 carnations every
week and their roses are the best this
company has had this season.

Henry Kusik & Co. had a heavy run
in wire work last week and report that
they are now receiving a-nice lot of
bulbous stock.

W. R. Barnes, son of W. J. Barnes, is
selected as a candidate for alderman
of this city. If elected, he will be one
of the youngest men to hold such a
position. W:. J.B.

F. DORNER & SONS CO.,

THE FREEPORT, ILL., DISASTER.

After an all-night fight to obviate
the danger of freezing at the John
Bauscher greenhouses, of Freeport, IIl.,
which was successfully accomplished,
the range caught fire the following
morning, January 18, entailing a dam-
age estimated at not less than $40,000.
The fire had -its start in’the packing
house, which was in the center of the
range of fifteen houses. No one knew
how the fire started. Mr. Bauscher was
of the opinion that the packing house
may have caught fire from sparks of a
passing engine or from sparks from his
own heating plant. The fire was not
discovered until it blazed as high as the
roof of ‘the packing house, from which
it spread to the greenhouses. Seven of
the fifteen houses were destroyed, as
well as their contents.

The packing house was a 2-story
frame structure and the damage to this
building was estimated at from $3,000
to $5,000. The greenhouses destroyed
included three large rose houses which
contained from 30,000 to 40,000 rose
plants; two houses with 100,000 gera-
niums; one house with about 750 palms.
Another large loss was the damage to
the heating plant. The gasoline plant,
in close proximity to the packing house,
was not damaged, but the garage was
touched by the flames. There may have
been additional losses from frozen stock
in the remaining eight houses. The
main pipe from the boiler room, supply-
ing radiation to the entire range, was
broken, and it was said that immediate
repairs were out of the question.

Mr. Bauscher cariied only a small
amount of insurance on the greenhouses,
which he estimated at not more than
one-fiftieth of the total loss. The pack-
ing house, however, was insured, and
on this Mr. Bauscher will realize. The
absence of fire protection for Mr.
Bauscher’s extensive interests, after he
has repeatedly petitioned the authori-
ties, has caused him to consider bring-
ing a suit against the city. Being a
heavy taxpayer of Freeport, he feels
that his property should have been pro-
tected by extended water mains and
fire hydrants. The hydrant closest to
the range, which was used during the
fire, is more than 3,000 feet from the
houses.

a Florists’ Review

JANUARY 27, 1916.

SCRANTON, PA.

The Market.

Since the-holidays business has kept
up remarkably well. Much funeral
work has been done and the dealers
have had a hard time to obtain enough
flowers. Stock of all kinds is scarce
and prices still hold high. Carnations
sell from $1 to $2 per dozen. Roses
are unusually scarce and are sold at
$1.50 to $5 per dozen. Daffodils are
arriving, but not enough of them to
meet the demand. Sweet peas and
violets are plentiful. There has been
a big demand for sick-room flowers.

Club Meeting.

The regular meeting of the Scranton
Florists’ Club was held January 13, at
the residence of William MacDonald,
of Moosic. At 7 o’clock dinner was
served, covers being laid for thirty.
At 8:30 the meeting was called to or-
der by President Ray MacDonald. The
spring flower show, to be held March
30 to April 1, was the chief topic of
the meeting. The following commit-
tees were appointed: Ways and means
—C. W. Baldwin, William MacDonald,
Anton Schultheis; to visit private grow-
ers—Miss A. L. Besancon and Mrs.
T. B. McClintock; to visit wholesale
growers — D. . W. ’ Evans, L. E. Me-
Clintock, W. R, MacDonald. The speak-
ers of the evening were T. J. Nolan,
of the King Construction Co., North
Tonawanda, N. Y.; Chas. A. Goudy, of.
H. F. Michell Co., Philadelphia. The
next meeting will be held February 7,
at the A. L. Besancon store.

Various Notes.

A. L. Besancon & Co. will move to
their new quarters in the Life Insur-
ance building about April 1.

Gottlieb Baumann, of Wilkes-Barre,
is making extensive improvements in
his store, including a new icebox and
automobile delivery.

The marriage of M. S. Rusch and
Miss Edith Samson, of Scranton, was
solemnized January 25. Mr. Rusch is
well known to the trade, being mana-
ger for Baldwin’s.

William MacDonald, of Moosic, has
completed a new storehouse and a large
eee adjoining his greenhouses.

B. & J. T. Cokely report business
good. yack Cokely is traveling through
New York state. T. J. Judge, after
an absence of two years, is again trav-
eling for this firm.

The New York Floral Co. last week
had a great display of Beauties and
orchids. This company has opened a
branch store at Wilkes-Barre, which is
said to be one of the finest in north-
eastern Pennsylvania. An Overland
ear has been added to the Scranton
store service. P..Jd. M,

The Florists’ Review

JANUARY 27, 1916.

MOLINE, ILL.

Preparations for State Meeting.

On the call of Chairman John Staack,
of the general committee of arrange-
ments of the Tri-City Florists’ Club,
the various committees in charge of
the arrangements for the coming con-
vention of the Illinois State Florists’
Association, to be held in Moline, March
7 and 8, met at the office of the Julius
Staack & Sons greenhouses, Tuesday,
January 18,

Notwithstanding the inclement
weather there was a good attendance
at this meeting, mainly due to the great
interest taken by the members in the
forthcoming convention. The Daven-
port, Bettendorf and Rock Island mem-
bers are as unselfish and as enthusi-
astic in their efforts for the success of
this meeting as are the Moline florists.
Each of the cities named is repre-
sented on the various committees hav-
ing charge of the arrangements for the
convention.

The name, Tri-City, is somewhat mis-
leading, as properly it should be Quad-
City. Bettendorf, Ia., which contains
several of our hardest working mem-
bers, is directly across the Mississippi
river from Moline. Rock Island, ad-
joining Moline on the west, sustains the
same relation to Davenport, Ia., that
Moline does to Bettendorf. These four
cities have a population of about 125,-
000 intelligent, progressive and beauty-
loving people. As an evidence of this
it may be mentioned that during the
recent holiday season one local con-
cern disposed of an entire carload of
holly at good prices and, at that, had
to disappoint late buyers. These cities
are all linked together by as fine a
street car service as there is in the
west. Moline is connected on the south
in Illinois with Galesburg, Monmouth,
Aledo, etc., by the interurban electric;
with Clinton, Ia., on the north, and
Muscatine, Ia., on the south, by an-
other electric road.

At this meeting it was decided to
hold weekly meetings of all committees
in charge of the arrangements. The
chairmen of the various committees are
as follows: General chairman, John
Staack, Moline; entertainment commit-
tee, C. O. E. Boehm, Davenport; hall
committee, Wm. Knees, Sr., Moline;
publicity committee, W. C. Wilson, Mo-
line; privilege committee, A. Anderson,
Moline; recording secretary, Wm.
Knees, Jr., Moline. A. A.

Greenhouse Heating.

SUBSCRIBERS are invited to write the
Editor of this Department with regard to
any details of greenhouse heating that
are not understood. But please a not
ask The Review to make a choice of ap-
paratus for you. The greenhouse heating
equipment advertised in this paper is, we
believe, the best for the trade to buy,
and each article the best in the special
field of its adaptation.

THE COAL MARKET.

The recent periods of cold weather,
though sandwiched between mild spells,
have had the effect of cleaning up the
available supplies of coal and creating
a condition that approaches a short-
age. The supply of fuel in dealers’
storage and in transit was almost ex-
hausted, and the mines, it is said, ‘‘ were
down to the point where all they had
to sell was a mortgage ‘on their future
output.’’ Perhaps that is an exagger-
ated statement of the case, but it is
evident, at least, that the coal market
is strong and that full circular prices
are maintained. ‘‘The market in the
territory reached through _Chicago,’’
says the Black Diamond, ‘‘is stronger
than it has been at any time since
1912.’’ Smokeless coal is included in
this estimate of the situation. Mine-
run, though less called for than other
grades, is barely sufficient for the de-
mand and is firm at the circular price
of $1.40, f. o..b. the mines.

It is especially worthy of note that
the miners and operators have decided
to hold their first joint conference Feb-
ruary 1, at Mobile, with reference to
the wage scale, as the present wage
contract expires in April. Though it
is hoped there will be no suspension of
mining operations this year, the mere
possibility of trouble in April is lead-
ing some large users of coal to put huge
piles of it in storage.

USING ONLY 2-INCH PIPE.

Please give me a little information
on greenhouse heating. I have a house
1744x50, with four feet of glass in the
side walls, above one foot of concrete
blocks. The rafters are ten feet long.
The workroom is at the east end. I
want a temperature of 55 to 60 degrees.
I shall use no benches. The house is
new and is of Lord & Burnham con-
struction. I have some 2-inch pipe on
hand. Can I use that size of pipe for
both flows and returns?

method of heatingeto be used, it is in-
ferred, from the question about using
2-inch pipe, that the house is to be
heated by means of hot water, especially
as this is generally to be preferred for
small houses. To heat the house de-
scribed to 60 degrees, we would use
three 2-inch flow pipes, placing one upon
each plate and carrying the other about
two feet below the ridge. Connect
three 2-inch return pipes with each of
the flow pipes on the plates and carry
them back to the boiler underneath.
The other flow pipe should be used to
feed four 2-inch returns, two of which
should be carried on the walls back to
the boiler on each side of the house.
The return coils may start directly un-
der the end of the flow pipe, or the coils
may be on the side walls only, and con-
nected with the overhead flow pipe by
means of 2-inch pipes.

ble exception of roses, which are off
crop. Carnations are more plentiful
and about equal to the demand.

Various Notes.
J. C. Elspermann is enjoying a good

business. All his stock is in excellent
condition. /
Miss Nellie Goodge is improving

slowly from her attack of pneumonia.
Julius Niednagel & Sons are having
a nice cut of carnations. Business is
excellent with them. The Florists’
Club met January 18 at the C. L. Nied-
nagel place. At this meeting it was
decided not to attempt to hold a flower
show in this city next fall. Ernest
Lutz, of Boonville, and Otto Kuebler,
of Newburg, were the out-of-town
members at the meeting. The next
meeting of the club will be held at the
Karl Zeidler store, February 9.
Joseph Fritsch, father of Louis
Fritsch, was killed by a train on the
C. & E. I. railroad January 23. He
was walking the tracks into the city,
it. being a short cut for him. He evi-
dently became confused and stepped in
front of the passenger train. He was
63 years of age. E. L. F.

CLEVELAND.

The Market.

The market, for the first time since
December 15, shows an inclination to
ease up. Bulbous stock, including tulips,
Golden Spurs, etc., is coming in quan-
tity and helps out the roses and car-
nations, which still are scarce. No
great change, however, is looked for
before St. Valentine’s day. The de-
mand for that day, no doubt, will be
enormous and will take up all the stock
offered. Easter lilies are in good sup-
ply, as is valley. :

Various Notes.

The entertainment committee, Frank
Ritzenthaler, Walter E. Cook and Chas.
J. Graham, is planning for a banner
meeting of the Florists’ Club February
7. They speak of organizing a glee

DON’T WORRY

if your Carnations are splitting to beat the band. Every flower counts, to
be sure, in these days of scarcity, but you have a simple and easy remedy if
you use the BAUR CARNATION CLIP. If you are not using this clever device

Send for a Trial Outiit Today

No money need be paid in advance and you need not keep the outfit if you are not perfectly satisfied
that it is the best thing in its line. No other device mends SPLIT CARNATIONS so quickly and easily,
without injuring the flower or impairing its keeping qualities. We have hundreds of testimonials like these:

‘They are the best on the market. We have used them for five years.’’—Maumee
Greenhouse Co.

“These Clips are fine.’”,—Crabb & Hunter Floral Co.
‘‘A safe proposition to send on trial.’’—Bird Forrest.
“They are certainly fine; they work like magic.’’—I. Dunford.

Perhaps the best testimonial of all is the host of growers, large and small, who send us their orders re-
peatedly for Clips and say very little about it to anyone. Can’t we count YOU among our customers? Re-
member, it costs you nothing if you are not satisfied.

Horticultural Society Meeting.

The Newport Horticultural Society
has started an active membership cam-
paign under its new constitution, and
at the last meeting six applications
were received in the associate class.
This class includes assistant gardeners,
assistant florists, amateurs and non-
residents. The fee is $1 per year. The
dues for active membership have been
changed to $3 per year, payable annu-
ally in advance instead of quarterly.

The meeting last week was an un-
usually busy one, a discussion being
held regarding the nursery inspection
laws. It was contended that Newport
suffers more from the laws than it does
from the gypsy or brown-tail moths.
A committee of three was appointed to
look into the matter..

The new classification of ‘dahlias, as
adopted by the American Dahlia So-
ciety, was discussed and referred to
the executive committee. The final re-
vision of the premiums for the June
and August shows was made and a
number of additional premiums were
announced.

A large vase of Buddleia Asiatica
was exhibited by Andrew J. Dorward,
who was awarded a first-class certifi-
cate of merit. Mr. Dorward gave an
instructive talk on the cultivation of
this plant, which is one of the Wilson
novelties recently introduced from
China.

Various Notes.

A prompt response to the alarm of
fire in the basement of the establish-
ment of T. J. Gibson, on Washington
square, a few days ago, probably
averted a heavy loss.

Carl H. Jurgens began cutting his
annual supply of ice from the Green
End pond last week. W. H. M.

F. W. Rochelle & Sons,

Gentlemen: In reply to your query would state
that I planted seedling stock plants and snap-
dragon cuttings in the first lot of bands that I
received from you early in January.

We took some of these out and planted them
where they are to remain about the 15th of
February. They made GOOD GROWTH while
in the bands, and transplanted AS THOUGH they
had never been moved at all.

I have now about 14,000 carnation plants
started in 2-in. bands which are making a RAPID

GROWTH, scarcely losing a plant in transplant-
ing from the sand. 5

also have about 20,000 aster plants trans-
planted in 2-in. bands which can stay there till
time to plant out of doors WITHOUT FEAR OF
BECOMING ROOT BOUND, as would be the case
if I used 2-in. pots.

Plants SELDOM BECOME ROOT BOUND
enough to injure them IN THE DIRT BANDS.
and DO NOT REQUIRE NEAR THE AMOUNT
OF ATTENTION that a pot plant does, in water-
ing, shifting, transplanting, etc.

I make my bands and set them in flats, as I
make them up, each flat holding 117.

When we get crowded indoors it takes but a
short time to move the flats to a cold frame,
pose be harden them off before setting them in

e field.

One man can set MORE THAN ANOTHER
TIME AS MANY (twice as many) plants in the
field from these bands and flats than he can from

ots, and after he is through DOES NOT HAVE

HE BOTHER OF GATHERING UP, CLEAN-
ING, and STORING AWAY A LOT OF POTS.

I believe anyone using these bands ONCB
WILL BECOME A REGULAR CUSTOMER.

Yours truly,
H. B. Weaver.

Mr. Weaver grows carnations, mignonette,
fweet peas, asters, etc. He ordered 5,000 Dirt
Bands the first year, 60,000 the second year,
70,000 last year and has just ordered 50,000 more.

Gentlemen: * * * We would say that we
used all the Paper Pots we got from you to raise
tomato plants.

Our weather is often very severe late in May,
therefore we have to keep them inside and we
were certainly very satisfied with the splendid
results obtained from the Paper Pots.

In fact, WE DID NOT HAVE HALF ENOUGH
TO FILL OUR ORDERS. WE CHARGED EX-
ACTLY TWICE THE AMOUNT we did other
years and yet our CUSTOMERS INSISTED ON
HAVING THOSE IN PAPER POTS.

In our hot sun they never wilted.

We reserved a few for Primulas and certainly
have some fine ones.

It was easier to keep them watéred and grow-
ing during the hot months.

Wishing you success.

I always had fine thrifty plants to send out and
I delivered them in the pots, which insured them

I never had a complaint of flowers dying or

I buy some of my plants, which I set right in

They are ready for delivery within a few days.

ly cut. He has had several inquiries -
for the remaining stock, but he is not
disposed to give it away.

EK. Moechel is now operating the
Geary Street Nursery, 5318 Geary
street, formerly conducted by F. H.
Buss, who now is on the Golden Gate
park force. Mr. Moechel has as assist-
ant John Martin, who was connected
with the exposition plant propagating
department last year.

The Misses Hannon, on Polk street,
have persuaded their landlord to post-
pone rebuilding until spring, which will
give them time to get suitable quarters
during the rebuilding period.

Chas. C. Navlet, of San Jose, recently
issued an attractive seed and plant
catalogue and has been getting a heavy
run of mail order business in these de-
partments. He reports a good trade at
his flower store.

Mr. Piccetti, manager of the C. C.
Navlet branch in the Emporium, says
nursery stock is the main thing at pres-
ent, the flower section in that depart-
ment store being at a disadvantage
when stock is so high. He put on a
special sale of rose bushes and fruit
trees last week and moved a remark-
ably large amount of stock, notwith-
standing that the weather was too wet
to permit of planting.

State Forester G. M. Homans is pre-
paring to publish an extensive bulletin
dealing with ornamental trees suitable
for planting in California. The book
will be largely the work of A. W. Dodge,
deputy forester, and will be free.

WASHINGTON, D. C.

The Market.

The heavy shortage of stock contin-
ues, while the demand has increased
‘considerably. The capital is in the
midst of a social season that bids fair
to eclipse that of recent winters. This
is making good sale for high-class stock
and prices have gone up according to
the supply and demand. American
Beauties, which are none too plentiful,
are bringing from $6 to: $9 per dozen.
These are exceptionally fine and move
well. Valley has been a staple flower,
which seldom varied in price, but-last
week the retailers were willing to pay
any price for it and $5 instead of $4
per hundred prevailed, with some or-
ders unfilled. There are few colored
carnations on the market and these are
much sought after. They clean up at
$5 and $6 per hundred, with the price
of white carnations at $4 and $5.
There are only two flowers on the mar-
ket that are really plentiful. Orchids
have been offered in quantities at $35
per hundred, and there is more than
enough white lilae to go around.

The wholesalers are meeting with
considerable’ difficulty in securing
enough Paper White narcissi to fill or-
ders. Jonquils are to be had, but these
are also in short supply and $5 per
hundred is readily paid for good stock.
Pussy willow is exceptionally fine and
is used largely in spring flower deco-
rations.

Various Notes.

What was perhaps the most elaborate
decoration of the season was to be seen
at the Pan-American Union building
on the oceasion of the Pan-American
ball. The work was by J. H. Small &
Sons.

David Fairchild, in charge of the
foreign seed and plant introduction bu-
reau of the Department of Agriculture,
-has gone for a month’s trip to points
in Georgia, Florida and Louisiana.

At the annual elections of the local
banks J. Henry Small, Jr., was re-
elected as a director of both the Union
Trust and the Farmers and Mechanics
bank. William F. Gude was reélected
to the directorate of the Lincoln Na-
tional and the National Metropolitan
banks; Frank W. Bolgiano to the Conti-
nental Trust, and Fred H. Kramer to
the Union Savings bank. GC. L. L

The Market. |

Trade last week was exceedingly ac-
tive. Decorations and funeral pieces
have been the principal demand. The
supply of roses continues to be short
and carnations are hardly to be had at
all. We have had a few days of sun-
shine, but there has not been any sub-
stantial increase in the quantity of
flowers at this writing. We are hoping
that another week of sunshine will
help to open the roses and do away
with the extreme shortage. The spring
flowers are coming to market in large
quantities. Jonquils, daffodils and
sweet peas are quite plentiful. Freesias
and cut tulips are in good supply.
Good potted treesias are being shown
in the downtown stores. Snapdragon
is of splendid quality, but is not plen-
tiful. Lilies, both calla and Easter,
are equal to the demand. Yellow nar-
cissi are selling’ well. Russell,
Shawyer and Killarney roses are mak-
ing the best showing in the pink va-
rieties, while Richmond leads the best
of the reds. White roses are hardly
to be had at any price. Violets are
plentiful, but the demand for them last
week was good. Potted plants con-
tinue to sell well. This is probably due
to the extreme shortage of cut flowers.
Green goods are plentiful.

Various Notes.

The Flick Floral Co. last week had
an order for a large blanket of Shawyer
roses. Mrs. Aaron Shive, of the store,
is planning to attend the National
Flower Show at Philadelphia in March.

A. J. Lanternier & Son were the
decorators of the rooms at the Com-
mercial Club last week. Shawyer roses,
palms, southern smilax, carnations and
narcissi were effectively used.

Will J. Vesey, Jr., is recovering from
a short illness.

F. J. Kmecht is sending some fine
Russell roses to the market. His
Shawyer and Killarneys are few and
far between at present.

The Auger Flower Shop was rushed
with funeral work last week.

The decorations in the Anthony hotel
ballroom for a musicale last week were
executed by Miss C. B. Flick and Miss
Helen Patten, of the Patten Flower
Shop, Toledo. Miss Helen Patten has
returned to Toledo. She reported busi-
ness as being good, especially funeral
work. R. F.

p)

Even the little “lean-to” greenhouses
such as the one illustrated above, which
we built at Plandome, Long Island, are
planned and erected with the greatest
care, as they require all the fine details
that make for the successful operation
of the professional growers’ structures.

The reputation we have gained for
fast work is only to be equaled by our
reputation for fine work, and the par-
ticular feature of our service is, that we
can give both at the same time.

We owe our success not only to the
efficiency of our methods, but also to
the quality of our work.

DIRT BAND. ‘‘The best band in
the land,’’ is the way one enthusiast
puts it.

If you don’t know the value of dirt
bands begin by putting your carnation

to the square band. They take care of
all plants just as well, and anything
that grows in a pot will grow better
in a band.

W ATER—that’s what you gam-
ble on. Water in right quanti-
ties at the right time. :

Your fertilizer problem can be
solved in several ways. :

Your labor problem is flexible.

But this depending entirely on
nature tofattend to your watering
is taking a long gamble.

85% of those carnation plants
you will set out in the field is
water.

If that 85% falls down to 75%,
your plants suffer. Your next
winter’s profits are hit.

The Skinner System’ cuts the
gamble out of field growing. You
can have water in right:amounts at

the right time, right under your en-
tire control.¢

At planting time alone, it will
pay for itself. At lifting time, you
again get valuable service from it.
All the season through it will be
your surest insurance.

It’s the kind of insurance policy
that pays for itself the first year,
and gives you protection and in-
creased profits for years and years
to come.

PROVIDENCE.

The Market.

There was a slight easement in the
supply of cut flowers last week, the
cut being larger than that of any of
several previous weeks. ‘The. prices,
however, were maintained at about the
same scale that has ranged since
Christmas. It has been a long time
since the demand has been as active
as that of last week. There was a
heavy run of funeral work. The scar-
city of flowers and the high prices have
caused an increase in the use of galax,
ivy and magnolia leaves for funeral

pieces.
Society Meeting.

The seventy-first annual meeting of
the Rhode Island Horticultural Society
was held January 19. The attendance
was large. Reports of a satisfactory
nature were submitted by the officers
and committees, and following the busi-
ness session an address was delivered
by Dr. Burt L. Hartwell, director of
the experiment station at the. Rhode
Island State College, at Kingston. Dr.
Hartwell spoke on ‘‘The Chemistry of
the Garden,’’ pertaining to the feeding
of plants and the best methods of add-
ing plant food to the soil.

The election of officers for 1916 re-
sulted as follows: President, Prof.
Harlan H. York; first vice-president,
Dr. Henry W. Heaton; second vice-
president, Marcus Burdick; secretary,
Edward K. Thomas; treasurer, Harold
L. Madison; trustee, Frederick 8.

IN THE MONTANA MOUNTAINS

*

Up in the northwest corner of the state
of Montana, among‘*the mountains, is
the establishment of W. E. Mills, at the
county seat of Kalispell. Twenty acres of
land produces all the outdoor flowers the
surrounding territory can: use, and 36,000
square feet of glass is used to furnish
the neighboring markets with greenhouse
flowers and vegetables. For next autumn,
5000 carnations and 3000 chrysanthemums
have been planted. A wide variety of other
flowers is grown. Lettuce in great quanti-
ties is marketed throughout the northwest.

For the greenhouses at Kalispell Gardens, Mr. Mills ob-
tained the material from halfway across the continent.
His choice came after a careful study of the most modern

methods of construction.

The same painstaking care from the time we figured the
estimate until the last shipment was made is yours for the

asking.

Danville, Va.—Eldrige, the Florist,
says that the florists’ business in the
south is forging ahead rapidly. He
says that trade is far above that of
the corresponding period of last year
and that the demand now is more for
pe eres flowers than for low-priced
stock.

THE NEW

HIGH PRESSURE KROESCHELL

FOR STEAM PLANTS, 100 HORSE POWER AND OVER

Our New Steam unit develops a much
greater efficiency than is possible with the
Horizontal Tubular Boiler on account of the
many improvements embodied in this form
of construction.

KROESCHEL

1. Three (3) pass fire travel 50% longer
than any tubular boiler.

2. A large storage capacity of water,
affording abundant heat storage energy to
respond to sudden demands for increased
steam supply.

3. Large steam storage ‘space, free steam
liberating surface, and dry steam.

It will generate quickly high overload
capacity at any time sudden requirements
demand an increased supply of steam.

FIRE & WATER TUBE

PATENTED !912

A FEW POINTS OF MERIT

4. Thorough circulation to produce highest
possible efficiency and rapid steam generating
power.

5. Automatic self-cleaning, by which all
scale forming material is deposited out of
reach of the fire and where it can be readily
removed. (Power plant owners who are
forced to use bad water will appreciate the
vital importance of this feature.)

Early-flowering Branching Aster
No Aster has been esteemed more
highly by the florist trade than this
variety; it has good size and, by reason
of excellent habit. long stems and
blooms, it comes between our Queen of
the Market and Hoheovollern Asters.

We cannot emphasize too strongly the

Lavender Gem

Truly a gem and easily the finest early lavender. Full double flower;
the feathery effect of the ostrich-feathered type, to which it belongs, is
enhanced by the fact that it bears a large proportion of long, partly
tubular florets that are irregularly cut and slashed, so that the flowers
resemble ragged chrysanthemums. Pkt., 10c; %4-0z,, 50c

Early Upright White

One of the best selling novelties of last season. Plants grow com-
pactly, with long, erect flower-stems, which are quite free from side
shoots. Plants yield eight to twelve flowers. For an early variety the
flowers are unusually large and have a solid, compact, ball-shaped ap-
pearance, with petals of medium length. Pkt., 10c; s-o0z.,

White Perfection

_ Finest midseason white Aster in cultivation. The flowers are four
inches in diameter and exquisite in form, and the plants are taller than
those of the late upright Asters. When first open the entire flower is
whorled, producing a charming effect; the broad petals are slightly
folded lengthwise, making them appear rather narrow. The plants are
extremely vigorous; they carry about twelve large flowers on strong
stems free from side branches. Pkt., 15c; 48-0z., 60c; 44-0z., $1.00; 0z., $3.00.

of numerous large exhibition blooms. The flower is always full double;
petals are of medium length and very broad; those toward the center
fold in very regularly, while gradually, toward the outer edge, the petals
stand out more and more until those on the outside recede from the cen-
ter, thus increasing the diameter of the flower, which compares very

Do You See

the Point?

You'll not only want the Nebraska Carnation because it’s a crackerjack
grower; because it’s a real scarlet that gives two blooms to one of Enchant-
ress; because it has no disadvantages, no splits, no culls;—but also because
Nebraska Carnation wins the “ahs” and “ohs” of the ultimate buyers in
the stores. That’s the point every wise buyer considers. The merchandising
advantage of the Nebraska Carnation counts; it means easier profits for _
you. That’s why we repeat, with emphasis:

Nebraska Carnation
for You!

—the best scarlet in sight—bar none

NEW CARNATION

Cottage
Maid

—A Sport of Mrs. C. W. Ward

Did you go to the Carnation
Show at St. Louis?

If so, did you see our beautiful
new Cottage Maid, for it
was Queen of the Novelties?

The public here in New York is crazy over the color of this beautiful new
carnation. It is a clear shell-pink, deep in the center and lighter toward the
edge. It is a color your trade demands.

Its plant is identical with its well known and widely grown parent, Mrs. C.
W. Ward, and it has the same wonderful keeping and shipping qualities as
this variety. In fact, at the Cleveland Show this fall, Cottage Maid, besides
the first prize in its class, won the prize for the vase of carnations in the best
condition at the end of the show. And these flowers were shipped from New
York.

We have grown this variety for six years and tried it out thoroughly. It is
not our policy to let buyers of our novelties do the experimenting.

We believe in Cottage Maid, and we are going to back up our belief by plant-
ing 50,000 of it next year for blooms, besides the stock plants.

It will be sent out next winter. Send in your order early.

‘
And keep your eye on Crystal White, our sensational pure white, which is
larger and more productive than Matchless. It will probably be disseminated
in 1917-18.

is one that we must all learn in Politics, Religion
and Business.

It is with your business and our business for 1916
that we are particularly concerned, Mr. Grower.

You want a prosperous year for 1916. You must be prepared for it.

The wisest preparation is to have growing on your benches a
new Pink Forcing Rose, that is easy to grow—prolific in bloom
and one that has demonstrated its success—the

Champ Weiland

It is exquisite in color, remarkable
in size, beauty and foliage.

A wholly desirable rose for the man who grows for profit— because

THE BEST
RED CARNATION

Winner of the Silver Medal at the last exhibition of the American Carnation Society,
o Buffalo, N. Y., January 27 and 28; First prize at the Illinois State Fair, at Springfield,

<(UUNUUNUUU0UUUULEUELUEUUTL
<UULLTUAULLULLLLLLUALUULL

Ill., September 22 and 23. It has never been beaten at any exhibition. The color is a
most brilliant red. The size of the flower is 3% inches. Stems 24 to 36 inches long,
strong and stiff. We have never had a burst calyx, all flowers grading firsts; and, best
of all, it is a constant bloomer, giving a steady run of flowers equal in number to the
Enchantress family. It has a spicy odor, much greater than the average Carnation. It
comes in full flower by the 1st of December and then continues steadily through the

balance of the season.

During the present holiday season the Belle Washburn was shipped everywhere, from
Texas to Winnipeg, and from Denver as far east as Pennsylvania. It sold at the highest
price of any red Carnation and was the most in demand, being the premier red of any

variety that was in the Chicago market.

The color is the most brilliant red of any Carnation now in the market. We have
grown this variety for five years, it being one of our own seedlings, and we now have
30,000 plants benched in our greenhouses at Greggs, of which 12,000 are for the cut
flowers and 18,000 devoted to rooted cuttings. Rooted cuttings now ready for delivery.

Price of the rooted cuttings is $12.00 per 100, $100.00 per 1000. We will bill 500
at the 1000 rate price.

Every cutting guaranteed strong and well rooted.

We have 1500 plants growing in our greenhouses at Hollywood, Cal., devoted exclusively

to rooted cuttings.

Orders for Pacific Coast States will please be sent to our Western Branch,
care of E. B. Washburn, 252 South Orange Grove Avenue, Pasadena, Cal.

Yellow
Trailing Queen

In introducing this valuable plant to the trade, we
feel confident that it will make a place for itself. A sport
from TRAILING QUEEN, another grand plant for
boxes, vases, hanging baskets and bordering beds. It
droops or hangs down 2 feet or more, not one little vine,
but a clump of them. Center of leaves bright yellow,
bordered with olive green, with deeply serrated edges,
intermingled with yellow. Has all the good qualities of
TRAILING QUEEN except color, which makes it a
fine trailing mate. This is a very attractive novelty.

Do you buy with the
idea of selling?

HEN you purchase new rose stock do you consider that
intangible but important factor: The SALABILITY of the
blooms at retail—prices considered? Where are your big profits

on a magnificent grower if the blooms yielded take a back seat in the ©
retailers’ stores? Avoid hazards, invest your money in Totty’s New
Roses—roses produced only after a careful study of disease resistance,
growing advantages and merchandising factors. Stock limited this
year, so early orders will have the best attention.

Let this be impressed on
your mind: The shrewd
grower invests his money

A splendid rose that was named

The Clark Wagon Heater

Height 9 inches Diameter 8 inches Price $2.00

This indestructible steel wagon heater is admirably suited to the needs of all who operate
delivery wagons for articles subject to freezing.

OPERATION: It burns our Carbon brick. Two or three of the bricks are sufficient in
the coldest weather. They yield a strong, steady heat without flame, smoke or odor, and one
filling is enough for ten hours’ use.

Heater occupies very little space and can be hung in the top of wagon, if desired.

Adjustable ventilators permit perfect regulation of heat. Strong, safe, practical; in use by
florists, bottlers, etc., everywhere.

FUEL: We supply our Clark or ABC bricks for this and our other heaters.

Every brick of our Clark Carbon is guaranteed to yield 25 per cent more heat than any
other brick on the market.

Our ABC bricks are guaranteed to equal any brick made but our Clark.

PRICES
Clark Carbon, per dozen bricks in carton...... $0.75 ABC Coal, per dozen bricks in carton......... 80.60
Clark Carbon, per 100 bricks in box........... 6.00 ABC Coal, per 100 bricks in box.............. 4.80

Above prices are for large, full-size bricks. Bricks may be had in halves or thirds if so
specified.

Gentlemen: =
In regard to our White care, I would say that we
are greatly pleased with them. Our Truck now has been running

for two years and we have not had any breakdowns yet. The

only expense so far has been tires and repainting the body of

the Truck. It has not missed a day going to town since we
have had it. The blizzard made no exception.

We also have a large White touring car which is just
as satisfactory as the Truck. We do not regret the money we
have invested in these cars, and the next car we get will be
another White.

Yours truly,

GLOEKLER FLOWER REFRIGERATORS

Tic essential part of the preservation of

cut flowers is a cold, dry circulation of

air. That is the fundamental principle
of Gloekler Flower Refrigerators. It keeps
the refrigerator sweet, clean and sanitary,
and at the same time results in a saving of
ice consumption. It requires perfect insula-
tion to produce this condition, and the Gloek-
ler method of reinforced cork insulation has
been proven by test the only practical way of
producing such a result.

And then, the selling quality of the refriger-
ator—that is a big point for consideration.
These refrigerators display flowers so at-
tractively that they almost sell themselves.
They are as valuable as an extra salesman in
your store. They present an insistent argu-
ment to the customer to buy, but in an unob-
jectionable way. And, after all, the first aim
of the florist is to sell.

Gloekler Refrigerators are made of selected
materials, finished to exactly harmonize with

—— your store interior, and completed with our
Gloekler Fixtures in Store of A. W. Smith Co., Pittsburgh own heavy, attractive hardware.

Many splendid styles and sizes in stock for quick ship-
ment. We build any size or style to order. Any finish.

You pay for it and you really get it. You get
quality all the way through, down to the little things
like bolts and screws.

‘The Florists’ Review

How We
Frame the
Gables in
Our Big
“All-Steel”’

Greenhouses

Also a Few Other
Important Points

ICE the heavy steel I beams extending
from concrete foundations clear up to the
angle gable rafter. Notice how many

of these heavy steel I beams we use.

Then again, these I beams are tied together
with 3-inch channel purlins and the whole
framework double-riveted together.

Before these gables are shipped all of the
separate parts are assembled on the floor in our
factory. By doing this we insure accuracy and
simplicity of erection.

Another point, and a very important one,
about our steelwork is that all our steel members
are painted at the points of contact before
being riveted together. Afterwards we paint
another coat before shipping. And don’t forget,
we paint with red lead—not any substitute.
Red lead is the best steel paint to use on struc-
tural work. We neglect absolutely no detail in
designing, manufacturing and building our“ All-
steel” houses. No “skyrocket effects,” mind
you, but good, substantial, careful workmanship.
