The inexorable decree of nature,*' says the writer of this article, *'is
thai plants must have a period of rest. A complete rest is essential to life.
No halfway measures will suffice." And the writer proceeds to show how
nature's methods should he imitated in lulling the roses to sleep.

OF US must sleep,
as rest in the
form of sleep is es-
sential to the con-
tinued physical and
mental welfare of the
human race. It is
nature's method of
repairing the tissues
worn by exertion dur-
ing the hours of
wakeful activity, and
of replenishing the
system's store of vitality.

Without sleep, physical and mental
exhaustion would ensue and decay re-
sult.

Vegetable bodies, being similar to
animal bodies as far as the vital force
called life is concerned, must likewise
be able to secure for themselves a pe-
riod of rest of sufficient duration to
permit a complete rejuvenation of their
vital parts.

Mother Nature's Methods.

Under natural conditions Mother
Nature, with her capable assistants,
Autumn and Win-
ter, sees that all her
children, large or
small, are lulled to
sleep at the proper
time, and takes
measures to prevent
their awakening be-
f o r e the proper
time.

Plaiits that are
cultivated for their
commercial utility
under artificial con-
ditions, by g^oss
man, do not always
receive the amount
of rest that is nec-
essary for their fu-
ture well- being.
This dereliction is
caused either by a
lack of knowledge
concerning the rest
requirements of the
various plants, or
by a mercenary de-
sire to enjoy a
longer period of
productivity, or,
worst of all, by
downright careless-
ness and indiffer-
ence. But, whatever
the cause, that un-
pardonable crime,
once committed

By CHARLES N. COTTER,

of Lake View Rose Gardens, Jamestown, N. T.

against nature, must be expiated and
the penalty will be decreased vigor and
consequent decreased productivity.

The Period of Best.

Of all the plants cultivated under
artificial conditions, and carried over
from year to year, the rose is the moat
exacting in regard to a period of rest
of sufficient duration following a period
of activity. If it is denied rest and
the benefits to be derived therefrom,
its future activity will be more or less
unsatisfactory.

What is the best method to follow in
resting roses preparatory to another sea-
son of activity? That is a question
that perplexes the minds of some grow-
ers. The only satisfactory answer is,
rest them as thoroughly as Mother Na-
ture rests their less pampered relatives,
that dwell amid natural conditions.
That is, rest them until they are en-
tirely defoliated, or as nearly so as
possible; until, in the natural course of

nature, their buds show signs of ex-
pansion.

But how shall I proceed to bring my
plants to such a condition t That is
the question that will follow the answer
to the first. Again the answer is, emu-
late Mother Nature. In the temperate
zone, autumn, with its cooler weather
and frosts, is accompanied by a marvel-
ous change in vegetation. Vegetative
growths begin to die down gradually
to the crown of the plants. Trees and
shrubs show a wonderful change of
color in their leaves.

This change of color is followed by a
gradual but steady loss of foliage, until
in a short time their branches are en-
tirely defoliated and stand bare before
the cold winds of late autumn and
early winter.

A Gradual Awakening.

They have gone to sleep and will
remain asleep until Spring, with her
warm breezes and gentle rain, gi-ad-
ually awakens them, and, eag§r to
please her, they rapidly don their new,
glistening green garments and so sig-
nify their readiness to resume the du-
ties which the
great Architect of
the universe intend-
ed them to perform.
From observation
of natural condi-
tions it can be seen
that a period of
rest must follow a
period of activity
if continuity of life
is to be had.
Leaves, as the or-
gans of respiration,
digestion and as-
similation, can per-
form their functions
for so long and no
longer. Provisions
must be made for
their replenishment,
or life must cease.
And Nature, in her
divine wisdom, does
not intend to per-
mit life to cease
while there is a
possible chance to

firevent it. So she
uUs her children to
sleep, and, while
they are going to
sleep and also while
they are sleeping,
she provides the
means for a new
garment to cover

their nakedness. So quietly and effec-
tively does Nature do her work.

One interpretation of her method is
as follows: The leaves, like the stom-
ach of man after a certain amount of
digestion and assimilation has taken
place, contain a residue of waste mate-
rial which must be removed. If it is
not removed, improper functioning will
be the result and eventually death. It
would seem that the maximum capacity
of the leaves to take care of waste mat-
ter is for six months. After that length
of time assistance must be given. In
^ the natural scheme of life, spring and
summer, with their congenial atmos-
pheres, are the periods in which vege-
tative life expands to its utmost ca-
pacity and discharges all of its obli-
gations to man. Then the great cleans-
ing of the system must take place.
Autumn comes to the rescue. Cold sup-
plants the heat of summer. The soil
in which the roots of plants reside is
affected. The chill decreases the abil-
ity of the roots to imbibe sufficient
moisture to nourish the cells of the
leaves. A general contraction and with-
drawal of the vital elements takes
place, for nature is economical and
will not allow the organized compounds
in the leaf cells to be wasted. The
. escape of moisture by transpiration
through the leaves is greater than the
intake, with the result that protoplasm
and all stored up organized materials
contained in the leaves are withdrawn
to the stems and branches, leaving
nothing but waste material in the cells
of the leaves, which subsequently fall
and thereby consummate the cleansing.

Wholesome and Adequate Best.

The materials withdrawn from the
leaves are concentrated at the points
from which expansion will take placo
under the beneficial influences of spring
environment, and so the continuity of
life is provided for.

That is the program that must be
followed by the grower of roses if he
desires to secure maximum success from
carried-over plants. No halfway meas-
ures will be acceptable to nature, even
if proof of their efficacy is offered by
growers who have derived a measure
of success from their application. The
inexorable decree of nature is, that
plants must have a period of rest. Difi-
ferences as to individual interpretation
of that law will not obtain. Rest is
essential to life and a complete rest
must be had. There is as much differ-
ence between partial rest and complete
rest in plants, when results are consid-
ered, as there is between a fretful, nerv-
ous sleep, indulged in sometimes by
man, and the wholesome, 8-hour, tissue-
repairing sleep he should have. As the
man will arise from the fretful sleep
in a fatigued condition, so will the
plant awaken from a partial rest.

Under Artificial Conditions.

Let us in fancy apply nature 's
method to rose plants which are grown
under artifi.cial conditions in green-
houses, and which are to be carried
over for another season. In outside
plants the maximum degree of growth
is achieved just prior to autumn. There-
fore roses in greenhouses should be in
full crop prior to the drying off. The
foliage should be abundant and entire-
ly free from mildew and red spider. In
outside plants the sleep or drying off
is produced by a decrease in the mois-
ture imbibition of the roots. Likewise

in greenhouse-grown plants moisture
must be |^adually withheld from the
roots. This decrease in moisture supply
in both cases will cause a withdrawal
of the vital contents of leaf cells to
the points where eyes are located on
stem and branches, where future growth
will spring forth. Defoliation will fol-
low these changes in both cases, and,
when the plants are thoroughly rested,
activity will commence again of its own
accord, in outside plants this resump-
tion of activity is timed to occur in
the spring, while in greenhouse-grown
roses it will occur after sufficient rest.
Ample moisture in the root regions
must then be afforded, and forthwith
growth will start off with great vigor.
To supplement the foregoing natural
methods, a rose grower adhering to the
following program, with only necessary
deviations to meet local exigencies, will
be sure to be successful in carrying
roses over from year to year.

Ripening the Wood.

When starting to dry off the plants
about the beginning of June, decrease
the water applications to once a week
for the first two weeks. After that, do

not water again for ten or twelve days,
and then not again for two weeks; after
that, not again until right befose prun-
ing, unless local conditions demand it.
By this time defoliation should be rap-
idly taking place and the wood slowly
ripening. Great watchfulness should at
all times be exercised to guard against
too rapid drying. This condition may
be discerned by a withering of the
bark of the flower stems and a burning
of the foliage. Water should be ap-
plied to spots where the plants are
showing tendencies to become so afflict-
ed, and care should be taken that the
condition is ameliorated, for, if it is al-
lowed to become general, great damage
to the plants will result.

The time required for a proper dry-
ing is from six to eight weeks, and at
the end of that time the plants should
be almost entirely defoliated and the
eyes should be swelling. If such is the
case, they are now ready to be pruned
and awakened. If all details have
been properly carried out, the plants
will rapidly respond to increased water
applications and will give, in return for
the care exercised, maximum produc-
tivity and disease resistance.

LIABILITY OF TELEPHONE CO.

The florist who looks to efficient tele-
phone service as a means of bringing
business to his establishment will be
interested to hear that a Nebraska
court has decided that a telephone com-
pany is liable for loss sustained by a
subscriber through its omission of his
name and number from the telephone
directory. Although the case is a novel
one as to facts, so far as court records
go, the legal principle upon which it
rests is old — the principle that one who
breaks a business contract is liable for
all damages, sustained by the other
party as a natural consequence of the
breach. The ordinary telephone serv-

ice contract binds the telephone com-
pany to maintain the subscriber's name
and address in directories issued by the
company, and breach of such obliga-
tion certainly is a serious matter to a
florist, especially in a large city, where
extensive business depends upon repre-
sentation in a telephone directory.

SMAUEi'S NEW NEW YOEK STORE.

J. H. Small & Sons, for twenty-four
years on Broadway, have just completed
the remodeling of the old Vanderbilt

Sroperty at Tifty-second street and
[adison avenue, which they have con-
verted into one of the finest flower
stores in America. The accompanying
illustrations are reproduced from photo-
graphs made a few days ago, at the
time of the opening.

The idea is to maintain the semblance
of a miniature sunken garden rather
than the appearance of a typical sales-
room. In the center of the room there
is an Italian art fountain. On the
Madison avenue front there is an ex-
quisite reception and writing room. A
mezzanine gallery affords an oppor-
tunity to look down upon the garden,
while a broad stairway leading up to
a porch-like effect, with doors and
windows, represents the exterior of a
dwelling, and makes the garden seem
as real as if it were outdoors.

In one of the illustrations J. Henry
Small, of Washington, is seen, with
0. Albert Small, the partner resident in
New York. J. H. Small, 3d, recently
has joined the firm, after two years
spent in Europe following completion
of the course at Cornell. Landscape
gardening is his specialty and Small &
Sons now will develop this department
of the business, jnaking it one of the
leading features.

J. H. Small, Ist, established the busi-
ness in Washington in 1855. The New
York branch was started almost a quar-
ter of a century ago. The firm has
been for years widely known, especially
for its decorations; it has done six
inaugural balls, as well as many other
famous ones.

That Small & Sons never do anything
by halves is shown by the pictures of
the new store, but another evidence is
that, though not advertisers in the gen-
eral sense, they took the whole first
page of one section of the Herald, May
7, for an illustrated "Special Notice"
of their new establishment and business
history.

CONTKOL or THE BOSE-CHATER.

The rose-chafer, one of the most
widely distributed and troublesome in-
sects with which the florist or gardener
has to contend, is the subject of a new
Farmers' Bulletin (No. 721) of the De
partment of Agriculture, by F. H. Chit
tenden and A. L. Quaintance, The in-
sects appear as long-legged beetles of
a yellowish brown color, usually in the
month of June. They strip all kinds of
vegetables, fruits and flowers of blos-
soms and foliage, and where especially
plentiful do great damage. In from
four to six weeks after their first ap-
pearance they leave as suddenly as
they came. Eoses and grape vines es-
pecially suffer from attacks of the in-
sects, but the beetles are almost equal-
ly destructive to fruit, shade and other
trees and shrubs. When the rose-cha-
fers are especially numerous they at-
tack nearly all garden fruits and vege-
tables.

Garden Effect in the New Store of J. H. Small & Sons.

A thoroughly effective remedy against
this insect is yet to be discovered. Any
application that may be made is unsuc-
cessful unless applied almost continu-
ously, for as often as the beetles on
a plant are killed, others arise from
the ground or from neighboring fields
to take their place. Many so-called
"sure" remedies, including compounds
of copper, lime, kerosene and tobacco,
have failed to give results when put to
a rigid test. Whatever practice of a
remedial nature is undertaken, whether
collecting or spraying, it should be be-
gun at the first onset of the insects'
attack and continued until they disap-
pear.

Ornamental plants that are hardy
may possibly be protected by a heavy
application of arsenate of lead, using
four or five pounds to fifty gallons of
either water or Bordeaux mixture.
Thorough applications should be made

when the insects first appear, and re-
peated applications should be made as
found necessary.

The rose-chafer is extremely sensi-
tive to disturbance when it is in the
pupal stage in the soil. Numbers may
be destroyed by simply stirring the
breeding grounds at the proper time to
a depth of three or more inches. In
northern Ohio the most favorable time
for the application of this remedy is
from May 25 to June 10. In the south
the operation should be commenced ear-
lier. All ground which might serve as
a breeding place should be plowed and
harrowed at the proper time. The least
possible light sandy soil should be left
in sod, only the heaviest land being
used for grass.

SYSTEM IN THE OFFICE.

The letter of the Livingston Seed Co.
in the issue of The Eeview for May 4,
setting forth the errors often attending
the settlement of F. T. D. orders, owing
to a lack of proper billing and account-
ing, and 'requesting The Eeview to
open its columns to a discussion regard-
ing better methods for handling this
«lass of business, is a step in the right
direction; an exchange of ideas and a
frank discussion on any subject will
prove beneficial.

It is to be presumed that no florist
would willfully make such blunders as
were referred to, but many firms, and
some of the larger ones, seem to give
the accounting end of their business
little thought toward improvement and
evidently deem it of minor importance,
when in fact small leaks here and there,
■directly and indirectly, occasioned by
an inadequate system of bookkeeping,
"will make a big hole in the net profits
in the course of a year's business. This
is an age of advancement and improve-
ment in all departments of the florists'
business and the accounting department
should be given as careful attention
and consideration as any other.

When an F. T. D. or mail order is re-
•ceived it should be carefully filled and
promptly delivered as specified, a
proper entry made charging same and
an invoice mailed as soon as delivery
bas been made; always being particu-
larly careful to make the charge against
the firm ordering, and not against the
person whose card was enclosed, as was
•done in the case cited. In sending an
order, the telegram or letter should be
specific and a copy of it should be re-
tained and filed under a special index.
When an invoice or statement of bill
is received it should be remitted for
promptly and copy of the order
stamped "Paid," and refiled.

Frequent errors in accounts are an-
noying to customers and have a tend-
■ency to lead them to expect the same
methods to be employed in the filling
of their orders, so naturally their busi-
ness will eventually go to the ones who
have an established reputation for ef-
ficient service.

The maintenance of a reliable system
of accounting does not necessitate a

cost disproportionate to its value, but
is a live asset to any business, large or
small.

Owing to its wide circulation. The
Eeview is an excellent medium for an
exchange of ideas and methods em-
ployed by diflferent florists throughout
the country, and a general discussion
along these lines will tend to establish
a more uniform system of handling or-
ders and accounts and will prove bene-
ficial to all concerned.

THE IMPOST SITUATION.

As is remarked in The Eeview, issue
of May 4, the importing game becomes
more and more bothersome and difi&cult
and we are one of the wholesalers seri-
ously thinking of discontinuing business
until more opportune times.

The ocean freight, insurance and ad-
ditional costs on account of lost papers
(we have not seen consular invoice or
bill of lading on our last four or five
shipments) increase the cost of import-
ing to a great extent, while the flo-
rist has been educated up to buying
f. 0. b. an American port.

It seems to be impossible to get this
extra expense out of the florist, as com-
petition has increased noticeably since
the beginning of the European war.
This is due, of course^ to a decreased
consumption of bulbs in Europe.

Whether or not we will fill fall, 1916,
orders depends on conditions existing
in July.

It would be interesting to try to
find out what the consequences would
be should no Dutch bulbs be imported
next fall. It spells big money for some-
body. Who will be the lucky dog?
Carnation or rose grower! Or perhaps
the plant specialist! Give us your
views in your valued paper, please.
Lechner Bros.

The Eeview is of the opinion that
there will be plenty of Holland bulbs
in the autumn. There is a prospect that
the British market will be closed by
act of the government there and that
the Hollanders will have to look else-t
where for a market for about twice as
many bulbs as come to America.

The only difficulty in shipping to
America will be because of the reduced
and irregular service of the Holland-
America line and the freight congestion
that has resulted. But the line values
the bulb business too highly to fail
to take care of it as long as its boats
are running.

Should the Holland-America line sus-
pend sailings, which now seems unlike-
ly, The Eeview predicts that the Dutch
Bulb Exporters' Association will find
a means of putting at least one large
shipment into this country.

to carry out its agreement with the

British government, but in spite of this
its ships experienced considertlble de-
lays in British waters on the homeward

this caused some prejudice to the com-

Orpington, England. — The Carnation
Yearbook for 1916, edited by J. S.
Brunton, of Burnley, recently made its
appearance, published by the secretary,
T. A. Weston, of this place. The vol-
ume, with its records of work accom-
plished by the Perpetual Flowering
Carnation Society during 1915, makes
its appearance at a time when Europe
is still engaged in warfare. Accord-
ing to the preface, "the depleted roll
of members is partly accounted for
through many members and carnation
growers being actively engaged with
the forces of His Majesty at home and
in foreign lands, and partly on account
of the stress of the times in which we
live. Nevertheless, considering all cir-
cumstances, the society's records are
praiseworthy, and the determination to
carry on amply justified by the meas-
ure of success attained." The organi-
zation has 410 members.

a sweet potato hotbed with this ma-
terial. Also, how many bushels of
seed sweet potatoes will be needed for
a bed 4x16 feet, and how many slips
can be taken from the seed sweets
every other day? Any information
will be appreciated. C. JJ. H. — 111.

One bushel of medium-sized seed sweet

' The Yellow Nansemond and fellow
Jersey varieties average about 3,000
plants to the bushel. The Big> Stem
Jersey, Early Golden and Nancy Hall
varieties are not so productive, and
we consider 2,500 plants from a bushel

five per cent of the plants usually are
ready for drawing in six weeks after
bedding, and the balance ten days later.

WANTS LARGER TOMATOES.

In The Review for April 13, on page
50, there appeared an article under the
heading "Tomatoes Under Glass," by
r. E. B. The method of artificial polli-
nation described certainly is the proper
one, as it never fails to set the fruit,
but there are several questions I would
like to have F. E. B. answer. Here
they are:

What variety of tomatoes do you
grow? I have mostly grown the Comet,
but I find that the fruit, while it sets
well, is small; it averages about six or
seven to the pound. My market wants
about four or five tomatoes to the
pound.

How far apart do you set the plants?
I plant two rows in a bench three feet
six inches wide, and set the plants four-
teen inches apart in the rows.

How often and what do you feed the
plants? I mix four pounds of nitrate
of soda with eight pounds of sulphate
of potash and twelve pounds of super-
phosphate. I feed two ounces of this
to the square yard, one application eacli
week. When I first plant I use a little
more soda and less potash. My fruit
is always of excellent flavor.

When do you stop your plants? I
generally allow mine to grow about
seven feet. The jilants have seven to
nine fruit bunches.

Do you have any trouble in obtain-
ing large tomatoes? This is my great-
est trouble. My blossoms set well, but
they will not swell to a good size. This
year they are better, but still not so
large as I want them. If I fed the
plants more, would I obtain better re-
sults? C. D. O.— Cal.

I grow the variety known as Balch 's
Fillbasket. It is a smooth variety and
produces four or five tomatoes to the
pound. Also, it is the earliest variety
I know. I am sending you a little of
the seed. My house is 25x200 feet;
the output is seven tons of fruit.

I WHO'S WHOlliSI- AND WHY j

Siiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiimiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii?

JOHN POEHLMANN.

IT would be a fine thing for the trade if there were more men in it lield in the
esteem accorded John W. Poehlmann. Everyone acquainted with trade history
knows the outline of Mr. Poehlmann 's business career; how as young men from
Milwaukee three brothers started, in 1890, a greenhouse business at Morton Grove,
111., on a combined cash capital of $80; how today the corporation that eventuated
has the largest investment in greenhouses and equipment to be found anywhere
in the United States, its assets being appraised above a million. John Poehlmann,
the eldest of the brothers, is president and in charge of the Chicago wholesale
store. He is a man of few words, but with a keen sense of humor and his advice
frequently is sought by outsiders, because of his well known conservatism. Mr.
Poehlmann recently has not been in good health and has freed himself of business
details, with the result that he has had time to keep in still closer touch with trade
aflfairs in general.

The distance between the plants
should be at least eighteen inches. If
grown too close the plants come drawn
and weak, and carry poor fruit.

Your feeding is quite wrong. Never
mix nitrate of soda with acid phos-
phates or sulphate of ammonia. The
mixing of superphosphate with nitrate
of soda liberates the free nitric acid.
The use of large quantities of nitrate
of soda on the tomato plant before it is
balanced would give you excessive
growth at the expense of the fruit. A.
larger quantity of phosphate or bone
flour would be infinitely better. The
potash is all right and would give you
quality and flavor.

The question of when to stop the
plants depends on how you want the
fruit. If you require an early crop,
stop the plants at the third bunch, one
leaf above the bunch of fruit. Remove
the leading lateral bud and take up

the lateral bud below the top bunch of
fruit. To have a full crop, run the
plants to the roof and then lay in all
side growths.

When the tomato commences to swell
you should begin to feed — never give
a young horse corn. Possibly the best
you could use for this purpose would
be fish or blood fertilizer. Both are
organic and contain fourteen to six-
teen per cent of ammonia. A liberal
dressing once a week, with an occa-
sional soaking of cow manure liquid,
would be about right. Never feed a to-
mato plant with nitrogenous manures
until it is balanced and fruiting;

HOW TO FIGHT
THE RED SPIDER

A SCIENTIST'S ADVICE.

' [The following Is a paper by Parker Thayer
Barnes, assistant zoologist of the Pennsylyanla
State Department of Agriculture, Harrisburg,
Pa., read before the Philadelphia Florista' Club
May 2.]

^he red spider is a pesky pest, with
which everyone who grows plants under
glass has a tussle sooner or later, usually
sooner. It also at times gives much
trouble to shade, trees and even to fruit
trees. There really seems to be no
limit to the extent of its ramifications.

The red spiders are mites. They be-
long to the great class of arachnida,
to which spiders, scorpions and the
daddy-long-legs belong. They bear to
the more highly developed and com-
plex insects, such as the moths and
flies, a position somewhat similar to
that of the ferns to flowering plants,
although this is rather a poor simile.

The red spider is not a new insect
in any way one may look at it. New
species are being found from time to
time, but that is because but few spe-
cialists have worked in this branch of
the animal kingdom, and they are so
much alike that it is really hard to dis-
tinguish them. They have four pairs
of legs — only three when born, but the
other pair develops while they are
young.

Habits of the Bed Spider.

They winter outside under stones, in
leaves and other rubbish, and when
warm weather returns, about the time
the leaves appear, they climb into the
trees and plants and start laying eggs.
Each female can lay from five to ten
eggs a day for a period of eight to
twelve days. In five days they become
adults. Brood after brood is produced
all summer, unless the weather inter-
feres. Much the same conditions exist
in the greenhouse, except that the
spiders do not hibernate, because it is
warm there the year around.

The mites do not travel fast except
when disturbed; ordinarily they move
slowly, and for a greater portion of the
time they are stationary, sucking the
sap from the leaf on which they are
resting. The removal of the sap from
the cell causes the cell to dry out and
die, which gives the leaf that peculiar
look always associated with a severe
attack. A similar appearance is caused
in the fruit trees sometimes by a little
leaf hopper.

By Its Web It is Known.

The genus of mites that includes the
common red spider is tetranychus, and
all the members of this genus spin a
fine thread. In severe attacks these
threads are so abundant as to form a
web, either upon the upper or lower
surface of the leaves or covering the
branch or a number of leaves. I have
seen this occur in greenhouses where
things were allowed to run in a hap-
hazard way. The use of this web no-
body seems to understand. It affords
no protection to the mites. Dr. Baulea

suggests that its chief use is to hold
the eggs, while another scientist sug-
gests that it keeps the eggs from fall-
ing off the plant while they are molt-
ing. Experiments have proven that it
does not in any" way serve to aid their
progress.

The spinning organs that produce
this web are supposed to be situated in
the spider's head, the threads coming
out through the palpi or feelers, but
some delicate dissection work under a
high-powered microscope still is neces-
sary in order to locate the red spider's
spinning mill.

The Greenhouse Species.

The common species of the green-
house is T. bimaculatus. They are sup-
posed to be red in color, but anyone
who has ever examined them under a
hand lens knows that some of them
have a washed-out color, much like the
crushed strawberry -colored shirt that
has gone through the laundry. But the
color does not vary in a colony; all of
one colony are the same shade of color.

This species is by no means confined
to greenhouses, as I have already inti-
mated, nor to our northern climate. It
is common in the south, at first on vio-
lets, but it now has spread from this
humble plant to the cotton plant. On
this it works such damage that it has
been necessary for the federal bureau

of entomology to detail men to learn
how it can be easily and cheaply com-
bated. In California it has threatened
the hop crop -and again the government
has come to the aid of the beer drinkers
and saved the backbone of their staple
beverage. From this you can see that
the grower of plants under glass is not
the only sufferer from the mites or red
spiders.

The orange groves of Florida and
California are infested with a couple of
species. It was a serious pest as far
back as 1889, for the report of the en-
tomologist of the United States De-
partment of Agriculture of that year
said it was a menace to the crop.

Others of the Tribe.

A pale greenish species, T, pratensis,
is abundant in the west on alfalfa and
other crops. A bright red species, T.
opuntisB, plays hide-and-seek on the
prickly pears of Texas. A short-legged,
short-haired European species is found
on the spruce trees of Canada. An-
other species is common on the leaves
of the oak and chestnut, and a com-
paratively recent arrival from Europe is
T. pilosus, which much prefers the fruit
trees of our orchards. The European
plum seems to be the favorite food
plant of this species.

The array of species is no doubt
uninteresting and to the average person
a red spider is a red spider and just
as much of a pest as Elias Butler
Parker 's guinea pigs of ' * Pigs Is Pigs ' '
fame.

How are we to get rid of themf That
is the question, and I suppose it was
upon this point that our friend Watson
hung the word explosion — "A Bed
Spider Explosion." He thought that
maybe I would blast all your precon-
ceived ideas about the subject of red
spiders.

CHICAOO CLUB MEETS.

President Gets Gavel.

The notable feature of the meeting
of the Chicago Florists' Club, May 4,
at the Morrison hotel, was the expedi-
tion with which it was conducted when
once started. The start, however, owing
to the dilatory arrival of many of the
members, was deferred until the even-
ing was fairly well advanced. The at-
tendance, though not large, was good
considering the fact that there was no
fixed program.

When the usual routine of business
was disposed of, a package was handed
to President Henderson, together with
a letter. Both were from Anton Then.
The letter set forth that as every com-
mander of an army must have a sword,
so every president of a club should have
a gavel. And having the utmost faith
in Mr. Henderson's abilities and capa-
bilities, he took pleasure in sending the
accompanying package. This contained

a most unique and artistic gavel, ingen-
iously contrived out of a wild smilax
root from Magnolia Springs, Ala. In-
scribed on it are the words, "To the
president of the Chicago Florists' Club.
A strong root will grow to be a strong
plant. A. Then." After trying it out,
Mr. Henderson passed it around the
room for examination. A vote of thanks
was given to Mr. Then for the gift.

Friedman's Show Plan.

O. J. Friedman took advantage of
the opportunity to express himself rela-
tive to the annual Easter fiower sale
at the Congress hotel for the benefit
of the Home for Destitute Crippled
Children. He has conferred with Qeorge
Marcey, president of the board of direc-
tors of the home, and is now in position
to state that the directors of the home,
as well as the society women who sup-
port it, are willing to waive the siue
providing the Chicago Florists' Clnb
and the Horticultural Society of Chi-
cago will cooperate with them during

Mat 11. 1916.

the annual flower show. Briefly stated,
the tentative plan suggested by Mr.
Friedman to both Mr. Marcey and the
club is that the presidents of all three
institutions confer on the matter as a
committee; that the club and the so-
ciety agree to give all the net receipts
of the 1916 flower show to the home
for crippled children in return for the
active and hearty cooperation of the
society women of Chicago and the direc-
tors of the home in the sale of the
flowers exhibited as soon as they are
judged; that the directors of the home
appoint all auditors, cashiers and ticket
sellers; that Mr. Marcey be authorized
to have some wealthy citizen or citizens
send tickets of admission to all public
school pupils of Chicago, good for ad-
ipission on Saturday morning only, and
that 10 cents be paid for each ticket
taken up at the door; that, in case the
plan proved profitable, the triple al-
liance be made perpetual. The sugges-
tions, which were made in writing, to-
gether with a list of questions pro-
pounded to the club by Mr. Marcey,
were placed on file, and Mr. Friedman
put his suggestion, that A. Henderson
and W. N. Budd be appointed a com-
mittee to confer with George Marcey,
in the form of a motion, which was
carried without opposition.

Miscellaneous Business.

Secretary French read a communica-
tion from Robert Kift, of Philadelphia,
urging the florists throughout the coun-
try to show in some substantial way
their appreciation of the work done by
Miss Anna Jarvis, founder of Mothers'
day. After some discussion, the club
voted that the secretary write to Mr.
Kift assuring him that the Chicago
florists are willing to do their part, and
asking for a statement as to the action,
if any, being taken by other clubs.

The following applications for mem-
bership were made during the evening:
W. E. O 'Morrow, 558 Fulton street;
Chester P. Guion, 2730 North California
avenue, and Carl Eismann, Maywood,
El.

Guy French talked entertainingly
about the Philadelphia and New York
shows.

Among the guests of the club were
Walter Mott, of Hammond's Paint &
Slug Shot Works, Beacon, N. Y., and
Charles R. Dewey, of the soil improve-
ment committee of the National Fer-
tilizer Association.

NEW YORK CLUB MEETS.

Mr. Guttmaa Beads Essay.

The feature of the meeting of the
New York Florists' Club May 8 was
a lengthy paper prepared with great
care by A. J. Guttman. The title
was "A Review of the Economic Con-
ditions in Our Business," but it was in
fact an exposition of the speaker's
views on life in general, with extended
comment on the recent flower show as
it appeared to Mr. Guttman. It was
well understood that Mr. Guttman 's
criticisms were voiced in the most
friendly spirit and in the discussion
which followed several of those closely
identified with the management agreed
that many of his points were well
taken, although means to achieve some
highly desirable and well recognized
ends are not easily found. The address
and discussion were so highly enjoyed
that, on motion of C. B. Weathered, Mr.
Guttman was given a vote of thanks.

Frey's Freesias at Montebello> Cal.

A. L. Miller gave details of New
York day at the National Flower Show
and P. O'Mara, W. H. Siebrecht, C. H.
Totty and F. H. Traendly spoke of the
many friendships cemented by the un-
dertaking. Chairman Miller and his
committee were given a vote of thanks.

T. B. De Forest made a highly satis-
factory report for the din-dan commit-
tee, especially crediting Walter Sheri-
dan for efforts in its behalf. P. O 'Mara
and A. L. Miller spoke of the success of
the affair. Thanks were voted the Lord
& Burnham Co. for the silver cups
donated as prizes for the best dancers,
and Charles Schenck, winner, invited
the members to his home to test the
cup's capacity. Donors of decorations
were thanked.

Secretary Young read the names of
those who donated prizes for the spring
show, the total value exceeding $1,400,
and Chairman A. L. Miller stated a
complete report on the show will be
ready for the June meeting, the last of
the season. An interesting discussion
as to the date and other details of the
next show was participated in by
Messrs. Traendly, Manda, Miller, Burns,
O'Mara, Totty and others. Mr. Totty
especially was strong in his commenda-
tion of the management of the recent
show and the wisdom of harmonious
cooperation with the Horticultural So-
ciety. A vote to this effect was carried
unanimously. The president was au-
thorized to appoint the necessary com-
mittees, and the decision to have a
flower show in 1917 was carried with
enthusiasm.

Miscellaneous Business.

W. H. Siebrecht addressed the club
on the risks of importers of bulbs and
said the leading exporters will not in-
sure the bulbs unless the club appoints
a competent committee to report accu-
rately upon their condition on arrival,
thereby preventing law suits and dis-
satisfaction. The chair was authorized
to appoint the necessary committee,
also a transportation committee for the
S. A. F. Houston convention. C. H.
Totty referred to the invitation con-
templated for the S. A. F. convention
for 1917 and progress was reported in
its behalf.

Albert Lahodney, Brookville, L. I.;
Cecil Davis, Flushing, N. Y.; A. Brun-
dage, Rockville Center, N, Y.; John R.
Walsh, Dennis Kenna, George Jenkins
and Charles Brandt, all of New York,

were elected to membership. Applica-
tions were received from George Cohen
and Peter Butterbach.

Preceding the club meeting there
was a meeting of the executive com-
mittee of the American Rose Society at
the oflSce of Traendly & Schenck and a
dinner for members of the Ex-Presi-
dents' Association.

PREY'S FIELD OF FREESIAS.

There have been several references
in The Review to the freesia-growing
of Alois Frey, of Crown Point, Ind.,
at Montebello, Cal., the plantation ad-
joining the H. W. Turner greenhouses
being shown in the accompanying illus-
tration. When Mr. Frey had worked
up his stock of colored freesias to th«
point where his greenhouses at Crown
Point would no longer suffice, he made
a trip to the S. A. F. convention at San
Francisco, later visiting the freesia-
growing districts and picking out a suit-
able piece of land at Montebello, where
one of his men from Crown Point has
been in charge of operations ever
since. Mr. Frey himself recently re-
turned from another trip to Montebello
to inspect the crop in bloom.

Springfield, HI. — A. C- Brown was
represented in the industrial parade
May 6 by a decorated car that was a
breath of spring: Butterflies, beautiful
girls, hawthorn, wild crab apple, roses,
snaps, iris and carnations. It was the
work of John L. Bryant, who com-
mented: "I am frank to say this was
my first attempt on a car and I would
rather handle a big wedding any time. ' '

Aberdeen, S. D. — April 12 Benjamin
F. Siebrecht was united in wedlock at
Mankato, Minn., the other contracting
party being one of Mankato 's society
belles. The ceremony was a fitting cli-
max to the brilliant prenuptial parties
tendered the couple by their friends.
The scene of the wedding, Mankato 's
Lutheran church, was elaborately deco-
rated. The groom came to Aberdeen
in August of last year, from his home
town, Winona, and started a florists'
business. So successful has he been
that three houses, each 22x150 feet,
and one 20x150,- are being erected on
the 5-acre plot east of the city. The
A. Dietsch Co., of Chicago, is the build-
er. Louis Voigt, formerly of Missoula,
Mont., will have charge of the growing
end of the business.

Memorial Day Crops.

The weather during the present year
has been quite erratic. In spite of the
late date of Easter, many growers
faildd to flower many of their lilies and
other plants on time, and it will need
dosV-att^mtion from now on to time
Memorial day crops properly. Gladioli
can be cut when the first flowers show
color and held in a good, cold cellar for
eight or ten days.

Spiraeas, or astilbes, will stand much
heat, and if at all late should have it
now. They can scarcely be over-
watered. Double feverfew will advance
rapidly if given a brisk heat, and
candytuft can be similarly forwarded.
Stocks are an important Memorial day
crop. They can be kept cool and
shaded well if sufficiently advanced.
Failing this, give them more heat at
once. It is important to attend to these
crops now. They net excellent money
if they can be had for the holiday, but
are largely unsalable when it is passed.

Outdoor Fests.

Outdoor pests will soon give consid-
erable trouble. Green or black aphis
can be easily controlled by the use of
whale oil soap, kerosene emulsion,
Aphine or one of the nicotine extracts.
On fruit trees Black Leaf 40, a highly
concentrated form of nicotine, proves
more effectual than any other remedy.
The lace-wing fly will soon appear on
the under sides of the leaves of rhodo-
dendrons. To properly control it sev-
eral sprayings will be necessary and
the spray must be directed below the
foliage. Aphine, Imp soap spray and
whale oil soap are all good for the lace-
wing fly.

Cutworms have already appeared. A
good poisoned mash is the best remedy
for them. Take one-half bushel of fresh
shorts and mix one pound of Paris green
through it thoroughly. Squeeze the
juice of three lemons over the mix-
ture and cut pulp and rind fine and add
to it. Then add a couple of quarts of
molasses and three and one-half gallons
of water. Add the two last quite
gradually, while stirring. Lay this mix-
ture aronnd the haunts of the cutworms
towards evening, so that it will be nice
and fresh for these night marauders.

Window Boxes.

The use of window boxes increases
yearly and florists can further boom
this branch of their spring trade by
filling one or two sample boxes and
having them on exhibition at their
store or greenhouses. Try to secure
orders for these and do the filling now.
Even a few days in a greenhouse will
wonderfully improve them. Be sure
you use a generous compost. If there
are plenty of drainage holes, you need
no regular drainage. A layer of well de-
cayed manure should be placed in every
box and let the balance of the compost
contain some well rotted manure and
fine bone.

Eemember that these plants will
have but a limited root run and will
be expected to grow, flower and thrive
the whole summer. A great quantity of
plants is available for window boxes,
but, as a general rule, geraniums of
one variety look and succeed best. For
drooping plants variegated and green
vincas and English ivy are the moat
satisfactory.

Sowing Hardy Annuals.

Quite a few of the hardier annuals
should have been sown before now, es-
pecially mignonette, lupines, sweet peas
and bachelor's buttons. Many other
varieties should be sown at once, such
as larkspurs, Gypsophila elegans, hun-
nemannias, salpiglossis, sweet sultans,
nemesias, Shirley and other poppies,
scabious, coreopsis, everlastings in va-
riety, annual sunflowers and celosias.
Be sure the soil is well pulverized
where these annuals are to be sown
and do not sow too thickly, or, if you
do, be sure to thin them judiciously.
Two or more sowings should be made
of Gypsophila elegans and Shirley pop-
pies if a succession of flowers is wanted.

Lily of the Valley Outdoors.

Lily of the valley is at present in
somewhat short supply in the markets.
It is one of our most popular flowers
and every small country florist should at
least have a bed of it outdoors, even if
he does not force any of it. In the
more northerly states it is usually in

good condition outdoors for Memorial
day. The ground should be deeply
spaded and well manured for a bed of
valley, as it must stay undisturbed for
five or six years after planting.

If you can procure Fortin's varietj',
you have the best for outdoor culture,
the bells being larger than those of the
ordinary Berlin variety. It is not too
late to plant a bed or row now, and
once planted it needs no more atten-
tion than to be kept clean and given
a mulch of decayed manure each fall.
Valley succeeds well in the open, but
does better where it can have a little
shade from overhanging trees and
where it is fairly moist at the roots.

Cleveland, 0. — Cleveland's voters, in
an avalanche of public approval, in the
April election passed the $2,500,000
bond issue for the erection of a magnifi-
cent convention hall seating 15,000.
Cleveland's mayor has promised to use
every effort to get the work started at
once and M. A. Vinson, secretary of
the Cleveland flower show, believes tho
building will be finished in time for the
next National Flower Show in the
spring of 1918.

Springfield, 111.— The T. P. A. had a
large parade September 6, in which
about eighty-five decorated automobiles
participated. The car decorated by
Hembreiker & Cole was awarded first
prize. The body of the car was cov-
ered with ferns, over which were Easter
lilie§ and Ophelia roses. On the fen-
ders of the car were three large baskets
of roses, while rising above the engine
was a large vase filled with lilies. In
the back of the car stood two large
vases of Ophelia roses and two baskets
•of lilies. William Hembreiker and lies
Cole were much pleased at their suc-
cess. The local papers published illus-
trations of the decorated car, consti-
tuting altogether an excellent advertise-
ment.

square feet of land, several green-
houses, a small cottage and outbuild-
ings, was sold a few days ago by
Duncan A. Hazard, commissioner, to
Joseph and John W. Gibson, for $7,000.
The sale grew out of a decree of the
Superior court in the equity suit of
Margaret E. Gibson against Joseph
Gibson, by which a commissioner was
appointed to dispose of the property.
The land is now occupied by the pur-
chasers under the name of Gibson Bros.

OBITUARY

Alfred Mltting.

From San Jose, Cal., comes word of
the death there, April 30, of Alfred
Mitting, known to florists, seedsmen
and nurserymen the country over
through the extent and diversified char-
acter of his business dealings.

Mr. Mitting, a native of England,
was 58 years of age. He first became
known to the trade when he conducted
a greenhouse establishment at Morris,
111., specializing on young stock for
growing on, in which line he was one
of the pioneers. Removing to Cali-
fornia, he located at Santa Cruz, where
he quickly built up a large business in
bulbs, especially callas and gladioli,
shipping great quantities to the trade
in the east. Encountering what he con-
sidered a favorable opportunity to
capitalize the results of his efforts, he
sold out and removed to Holland, Mich.,
where he did business in the nursery
line under the title of the Berrydale
Experiment Gardens. Returning to
California after a few years, he again
started in business at Santa Cruz, this
time with his son. This venture, how-
ever, was short-lived and the family
removed to San Jose, where an effort
was being made to resuscitate the fam-
ily fortunes.

Mr. Mitting had some loyal friends
in the east. He is survived by his wife
and two children, Ernest De Eoo Mitt-
ing and Flora Birdie Mitting.

Robert Haentze.

Robert Haentze, mayor of Fond du
Lac, Wis., "a big friend of the people"
and head of the E. Haentze Co., died
at his home in Fond du Lac on the
morning of May 5, after an illness of
nine weeks from kidney disease. When
Mr. Haentze was elected Fond du Lac 's
mayor, the first executive to put into
effect the commission form of city gov-
ernment, he relinquished active man-
agement of the E. Haentze Co. It is
said the sudden change of occupation,
from hard work at the greenhouses to
the office of mayor of Fond du Lac, in
which position he was unable to exer-
cise sufficiently, was instrumental in
making the disease more acute.

The deceased was born in Fond du
Lac, February 29, 1868, a son of Ernest
Haentze, one of the pioneer florists of
Wisconsin. He attended the public
schools until he attained the age of 14
years, when he laid aside his books and
assisted his father in the florists' busi-
ness. The work proved so interesting
to the young man that he decided to
make it his vocation. Upon the retire-
ment of his father some years ago, lie
became manager of the business, and
through his untiring skill and zeal the
business prospered greatly.

In 1892 Mr. Haentze married Mary J.
Binning. It was not until 1906 that
he became interested in politics. In
the spring of that year he was made
alderman and subsequently served on
several important city boards and coun-
cil committees. In 1911 he became Re-
publican candidate for the office of
mayor, but was defeated. Four years
later, however, the people having by
popular vote approved the commission
form of government, Mr. Haentze was
urged to run for office again as an

advocate of the new form of municipal
management. After a whirlwind cam-
paign Mr. Haentze was elected by a
good majority.

Mr. Haentze at the very start of his
term won the respect and friendship of
the people he served, by his thorough-
ness, his honorable practices and fair
dealings. So popular did he become
during his brief period of office that his
illness of nine weeks was watched with
almost a personal interest by everyone.

The funeral was held May 8 and was
one of the largest attended ever held
in the crty — the entire city participated.

Fraternally Mr. Haentze was identi-
fied with the B. P. O. E., the I. O. O. F.
and the L. O. O. M. Besides his wife,
he is survived by his father, one sister
and four brothers, Edward, Charles,
Richard and Ernest.

Herman Newbold Bradshaw.

Herman Bradshaw, of Ossining, N.
Y., who for forty years wholesaled his
stock in New York city, died last week.
He was born at Madison, N. J., and
learned the business with his father,
who died in 1902. Mr. Bradshaw spe-
cialized in lilies.

fair body of soil on the lawn, I would
simply (lig up the bare spots and re-
seed them at once. You will find Ken-
tucky blue grass a splendid grass to
use. Add a little fancy redtop and
Rhode Island bent to it. The fact that
the lawn burns out in spots may be
due to thin soil at these particular
places, or to rocks coming near the
surface. Occasionally white grubs, the
larvae of the May beetle, attack lawns,
eating the roots of the grasses and
making the lawns perfectly bare in
spots. Frequent rolling with a heavy
roller will kill many of these, as they
come quite near the surface. Feed the
lawn well, using a mi;cture of fine bone
and wood ashes, or pulverized sheep
manure. Each of these is cleanly and
an excellent grass fertilizer. C. W.

LAWN BABE IN SPOTS.

We have- a good customer whose lawn
is dying out in a great many places.
It is located on fairly high ground and
there is not enough shade to keep the
grass from growing. The grass does
not seem to turn yellow, but there arc
a great many bare spots. What can be
done for this? Manure was put on the
lawn over winter, but did not seem to
help any. - F. & F.— Wis.

GLADIOLUS SHOW SCHEDULE.

The greatest gladiolus show in the
history of the trade in America and
quite possibly the largest exhibition of
the flower ever staged anywhere in tho
world, will take place at Boston August
11 to 13, when the American Gladiolus
Society will join with the Massachu-
setts Horticultural Society in demon-
strating the wonderful advance the gla-
diolus has made in recent years. It will
be the seventh annual exhibition of tho
national organization. A preliminary
premium list has been issued. Intend-
ing exhibitors may obtain copies by
addressing H. Youell, secretary, 538
Cedar street, Syracuse, N. Y.

Laying manure on lawns is poor
policy. It furnishes some nutrition,
but at the same time fills the lawns
full of noxious weeds. It is also un-
sightly and unsanitary. If there is a

Utica, N. y.— The first thing E. T.
McQuivey did after leasing a branch
store for Easter week was to call at
the newspaper offices and order good
display ads telling of the arrangement.
Mr. McQuivey believes in keeping his
own customers as well as his competi-
tor's customers posted as to his doings.

Fort Worth, Tex. — A florists' busi-
ness has been established at 413 Hemp-
hill street by Mrs. M. B. Jones.

Mount Sterling, Ky. — David Harris,
who left several months ago to take
charge of a large greenhouse at Jack-
son, Tenn., has returned to town with
his smile to stay.

Memphis, Tenn. — Johnson & Son,
Memphis, have placed an order with
the American Greenhouse Mfg. Co.,
Chicago, for two houses 35x125 feet
and four 20x75 feet, of pipe-frame con-
struction.

Asheville, N. C. — Allison's Flower
Shop will hereafter market home-grown
stock, for it has secured the West Ashe-
ville Greenhouses and the services of
Shelby Griffith, formerly of Pittsburgh,
who will be in charge of the houses.
Work has been begun on a number of
improvements to the property and re-
pairs and additions will be made.

Blackwell, Okla. — Paul Winkler, for-
merly with Bobbink & Atkins, of Ru-
therford, N. J., and A. J. Burt, of Spo-
kane, Wash., expects to go into busi-
ness for himself here about June 1.

Faducah, Ky. — Inasmuch as William
Lydon supplies gravestones of granite
and marble for cemeteries, Jie may as
well supply plants and flowers for the
graves. This occurred to Mr. Lydon
last winter, and now there is a green-
house near his stoneyard well filled
with stock for Memorial day business.

Lexington, Ky.— J. F. Keller, presi-
dent and manager of the John A. Kel-
ler Co., is chairman of the florists' di-
vision of the Board of Commerce and
recently gave a talk before the asso-
ciation on the extent of the florists'
business in Lexington, in Kentucky and
in the United States. His facts and
figures gave many of the local business
men a quite new idea of the impor-
tance of the trade.

Thirty-second annual conTention, Houston,
Texas, August IS to 18, 1016.

Results bring advertising.
The Beview brings results.

The value of Mothers' day again is
demonstrated by the fact that the supply
of cut flowers is the largest of the cur-
rent season.

If collections are not good, the reason
is that credit has been extended unwisely
or else debtor and creditor have been so
busy selling that office detail has been
neglected.

Business in retail flower stores never
is of the best during the week that first
lets the people into their gardens; this
is the turn of the florist who has some-
thing to go into the soil.

The neatest Mothers' day ad of the
many that have come to The Review is the
little booklet received from E. P. Krei-
mer, of the Duluth Floral Co., written by
Charles Henry Mackintosh.

Prices of paint have, been advancing
steadily for several months and the mar-
ket now has reached a condition that has
necessitated the withdrawal of quotations.
Prices now quoted are from day to day
only.

Letters have been sent out by many
of the leading box manufacturers to the
effect that the cost of paper boxe^ has
advanced fifty per cent. Quotations on
orders not in the mails prior to May 4
were canceled.

Taking it by and large, it can be said
the trade never has had a better season.
Business has been good ever since the
early autumn and there have been only
brief and relatively unimportant gluts,
so that average prices have been excel-
lent.

Ophelia is easily the most popular rose
on the markets today, Hadley the most
talked of.

The cost of glass is nearly 100 per
cent greater than a year ago and steel,
now an important item in greenhousb
construction, has advanced about as
much. But cypress has not gone up a
great deal and the material mUls are se-
curing great economies by standardiza-
tion and large volume, so that a com-
plete greenhouse can be had for only
five to ten per cent more than a year ago.

NO, YOU CAN NOT BEAT IT!

Under the head, "Can You Beat
It?" there have appeared in this col-
umn a large number of letters from
users of The Review, telling of the
profitable results obtained, either
through reading The Beview or through
advertising in it. Here is one in the
same line, but a little different:

Those three little lines sold out my stock and
we have had some orders we could not fill. The.
Review not only has proven a good advertising'
medium for me, but the best; in fact, the only
one that has paid me. — C. D. Otis, Lake Charles,
La.. May 2. 1916.

The advertisement that sold out Mr.
Otis' stock cost 90 cents.

When you hear a man complain of
the cost of advertising you can be
pretty sure he spends a good bit of
money elsewhere than in The Review.

BEVEBSINQ THE OUBBENT.

Since the beginning in this trade, as
probably in most others, the general
direction of the movement of merchan-
dise has been from east to west. This
has been specially true of cut flowers,
many of which have gone west from
eastern markets and few of which have
moved far in an easterly direction. But
a current from west to east has been
set up through the enterprise of certain
California shippers and the cooperation
of the express companies. Last autumn
large quantities of mums moved east
from Los Angeles and San Francisco,
during the winter greens and violets
have been shipped and now freesia and
many other flowers are being shipped.
A San Francisco grower is sending
Mile. Cecile Brunner roses regularly to
New York, although as a general rule
the California flowers do not yet cross
the Mississippi in any important
numbers.

The enterprising Californians have
had the assistance of both the Amer-
ican and Wells-Fargo express compa-
nies, which have established regular
through refrigerator car service from
coast to coast.

THE CONVENTION OABDEN.

The spring months step lively and
before we are aware of it midsummer
and the Houston convention will' be
upon us. And surely no one knows this
better than C. QLi. Brock, the man re-
sponsible for the big convention gar-
den, at Sam Houston park, Houston,
Tex. Mr. Brock has been working hard
whipping things into shape at the gar-
den and it is said there will be some
real surprises for the visitors. Every-
thing is being taken care of and
nothing forgotten — a winning way the
efficient Texans have. Just one of the
little features of the garden will be
the greetings of Houston to the visi-
tors, made of blooming and foliage
plants, on a hillside at the entrance to

the gardens, saying, "Welcome, Amer-
ican Florists."

Although most of the space for ex-
hibits in the garden has been allotted,
there still is room for a few more ex-
hibitors and the Texans really will not
be completely satisfied until all the
space has been parceled out. Vice-
president R. C. Kerr, under date of
May 6, writes as follows:

I wish to call the attention of the trade to
the fact that it is not too late to arrange for
exhibits in the convention garden at Houston.
Our garden now is an assured success. We have
a grreat many substantial exhibits. The mem-
bers of the trade should avail themselves of this
opportunity of putting their stock before the
florists of the south. Remember that we will
have a record-breaking attapdance from the
south. f^

The soutb^fA' florists are heavy b^jyers, and
this is possibly the richest field for thtf'miolesale
of any sections of the country. The space chaise
for shrubs, evergreens, etc., is 5 cents per
square foot; blooming plants 10 cents per square
»foot. A plot 150 to 260 square feet will make
an attractiV'3 medium-sized exhibit.

Make shipment of exhibition material to C. L.
Brock, park superintendent, at Houston, Tex.
Remember the florists of the south expect your
co-operation.

HONOBABLE MENTION.

Not a few subscribers save them-
selves the bother of annual renewal by
sending The Beview $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.
Wolfe the Florist, Waco, Tex.
THREE YEARS.
Kummer Floral Co., Milwaukee, Wis.

TWO YEARS.
Stockdale, E. E., Kansas City, Mo.

Kerms Floral Co., Portsmouth, O.

WolfT, Joseph, Menomonie, Wis.

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.

CHICAQO.

The Market,

Chicago market conditions since
Easter would seem to indicate that the
trade is about to enter a period of un-
equajed activity. Not but what there
will be periods of inactivity, for these
at times are seasonable, but business
on the whole seems to be on a broader
and firmer foundation of popular de-
mand. Last week showed no abate-
ment of business — only a change of di-
rection. Demand everywhere was for
short and the cheaper grades of stock.
This, however, has reference only to the
demand for present consumption. As
early as the end of last week Moth6r8'
day orders began to bulk large in the
mail of every wholesaler who caters to
the shipping trade. So great is the de-
mand for carnations in these advance
orders that many of the wholesalers
have declined to accept further orders
for them. And everyone with the in-
terests of the trade in mind is recom-
mending the use of other flowers as
the only solution of an otherwise hope-
less situation.

Only the shorter-stemmed Beauties
find a ready sale, and, as a result, it
requires no little effort to move those
in the other grades. Practically the
same thing may be said of all other
varieties of roses. Short stock is not
sufficient to fill requirements, while
long-stemmed stock is inclined to hang.

Quality is generally good. It is not
easy to say which varieties lead, though
it may be said the newer ones arc
moved with much greater ease.

Carnations, as a matter of course, are
far, far short of the demand. Peonies,
however, are beginning to arrive on the
market in ever-increasing numbers. The
chief arrivals are Old Red, Festiva and
Queen Victoria. As usual, valley may
be depended upon to be short. The
last week has managed to do away
with the surplus of Easter lilies. The
Easter crop is about done for and the
next crop is not yet ready. Callas are
plentiful, a fact which does not facili-
tate their movement. Cattleyas con-
tinue unusually scarce and prices are
accordingly high. Popular favor still
focuses on the sweet peas for corsage
use and places this item on the short
side of the market as far as first-class
stock is concerned. A good supply of
snapdragon clears daily. Daisies are
plentiful enough, but meet with a fickle
demand. Calendulas and mignonette
are available in moderate quantities.
Jonquils are about done for and daffo-
dils are singing their swan song. Gar-
denias of excellent quality are in the
market and they meet with a ready
demand. Always popular, Spanish iris
is not in sufficient supply to meet the
demand. The supply of gladioli is not
large, and this fact, coupled with the
general excellence of the stock received,
results in regular clearings. Pansies
are selling well. The lilac supply is
so erratic this spring that no de-
pendence can be placed on it.

The situation in greens is little al-
tered. Smilax is again on the short
side.

Quality Cuts from Kennicott's

It is possible that the market might be flooded with Peonies, but
they would be the back-yard variety. You don't go to a farmer to
purchase your Roses and Carnations, do you?

No, you buy stock that is grown by experts who produce better
stock than ever grew wild.

Why buy wild Peonies?

Kennicott's Quality Cuts are not just planted and expected to take
care of themselves — they are carefully tended by men who have
studied the Peony for years. These experts know just what to do
and why it is done. In fact, it is a business with them to know
how to grow Quality Peonies.

Buy Kennicott's Quality Cuts, cut from the best of stock properly
planted, and taken care of according to the up-to-date methods of
Horticulture and - Floriculture. They are bound to ship well and
last after the man you sell to gets them.

Do not waste good money on the back-yard stock, buy Kennicott's
Quality Cuts.

bottom up. Mr. Amling's second daugh-
ter, Miss Gertrude Amling, also has
business ideas and is studying short-
hand, typewriting and bookkeeping
with the intention of becoming a regu-
lar assistant in the office.

Two temporary stores now are being
conducted by George Perdikas, in addi-
tion to his regular stand at 407 South
Wabash avenue. One is in the neigh-
boring store at Van Buren and Wabash,
the other at Jackson and Plymouth
place, both too large rooms for regular
flower store use.

All the carnation plants at the
Wietor establishment have gone into
the field, except those that are to be
grown indoors all summer, a method
that meets with steadily increased favor
in the eyes of these growers.

The chain of stores operated by John-
son & Chronis now numbers four:
Forty-seventh street, the Alpha, the de-
partment at The Fair, and the store at
Des Moines. But Andrew Chronis is
quoted as having stated the Des Moines
store will be disposed of because of
the illness of the partner in charge
there.

All the old Beauty plants have been
jettisoned at the Peter Reinberg estab-
lishment, reports Felix Reiehling, and
the 1-year Beauties are being rested.
The space gained has been planted prin-
cipally to Russell, Ophelia, Maryland
and Champ Weiland.

Another man in the person of Jack
Byers has been added to the floor
force in the cut flower department of
the Poehlmann Bros. Co.

With every trip to California Fritz
Bahr gains enthusiasm for the coast.
He has an interest in a property there
to which he has planned to retire in a
few years and since his spring trip he
has found the intervening period looks
longer each day instead of shorter.

According to Manager Paul Kling-
sporn, the Chicago Flower Growers'
Association did forty per cent more
business in April than it did during the
same month a year ago.

Miss Erna Teegen, daughter of Wil-
liam Teegen, of Kroeger & Teegen,
Morton Grove, 111., is the latest victim
of the scarlet fever epidemic. Fortu-
nately, there are no complications and
the young lady is doing nicely.

E. J. SHEEEIELD, Alvin, Texas

A fair proportion of the spare time
of Philip C. Schupp, manager of the
J. A. Budlong wholesale house, is spent
invoking the weather man to send good
weather for the week ends, that he may
gratify his hobby of hunting for arti-
facts in the hidden corners of the
neighboring country.

A e-passenger Oakland touring car
will help Joseph Zima, 3053 West
Twenty-second street, to enjoy the
pleasant days to come. His Overland
touring car is being converted into a
delivery truck.

The arrival of a large shipment of
Blushing Bride gladiolus from a Mis-
souri forcer leads A. T. Pyfer to
comment on the diversified sources from
which this market draws its supplies at
this season of the year.

"Ours is a live neighborhood and we
are doing a splendid business," says
J. J. Kolar, Jr., of J. J. Kolar & Son,
5136 West Twenty-fifth street, and 30
satisfied with business and life gener-
ally is he that such a trifle as being
cited into the speeders' court May 8
does not bother him.

In speaking of the after-Easter busi-
ness, Miss O. A. Tonner, of O. A. &
L. A. Tonner, said she gave to a grower
for the week following Easter a check
for exactly the same amount as that
given him for Easter week, only it
was in payment for a different line of
stock. She reports an unusually heavy
demand for Spanish iris.

The southern farms of Kennicott
Bros. Co. are now sending regular ship-
ments of peonies to the Chicago market.

Mathias Mann, of Zech & Mann, has
sold the vacant property, 125x125, at
the southwest corner of Clark street and
Pratt boulevard, for a reported con-
sideration of $25,000.

Speaking of things being seasonable,
a T-passenger Paige touring car was
delivered to W. H. Amling, of May-
wood, May 3.

If the Mothers' day and the Memo-
rial day business is proportionately as
good as the Easter business, Frank J.
Krai, 1907 South Halsted street, says
he will not complain.

This is the big week of the season
in the seed stores^ where counter trade
is taxing all facilities. Arnold Bingier
says May 6 was the largest day since

The Market.

Business continued to be brisk last
week. Weddings and funerals created
a lively demand for flowers and Tues-
day a large banquet called for numer-
ous table decorations and corsages. The
latter part of the week the weather
became hot and orders came in thick
and fast for boxwoods, shrubs, etc. Cut
flowers are in plentiful supply. Roses
in all grades are in full supply and the
warm weather is expected to increase
the supply greatly. Carnations are in
good supply and prices hold up well,
with Mothers' day almost here. Local
growers say they will have a good crop
of carnations for May 14. American
Beauties are scarce and hard to obtain,
but the demand is light. Orchids arc
short. Valley was in better supply
than the week previous, the demand be-
ing good. Snapdragons continue plen-
tiful and are used in decorative work
and funeral sprays. Sweet peas are in
large supply in the Spencer varieties
and sell extremely well. Bulbous stock
is of the past for this season. Spanish
iris is not plentiful as yet and is
cleaned up each day. Violets are over
for the season. Daisies and marguer-
ites are plentiful, as well as pansies
and forgpt-nie-nots. Easter lilies and
callas still come into the market in
large quantities.

The demand for Mothers' day is ex-
pected to be good, as florists have ad-
vertised the day. Business for the
month of April exceeded all expecta-
tions. Although the weather was de-
cidedly unfavorable, it seemed to have
little effect on the florists' business,
either before or after Easter, while
the Easter holiday business was the
best of years.

Various Notes.

Visitors last week were Harold Lion,
of Lion & Co., New York; F. W. Tre-
dup, representing the A. L. Randall Co.,
Chicago; B. Rosenbaum, of Wertheimer
Bros., New York.

Thirty students of agriculture at Pur-
due University, of La Fayette, Ind., vis-
ited the various greenhouses in this
city May 8.

The Roebuck Greenhouses, southwest
of the city, on the Bluffton road, are
sending some fine Spencer sweet peas
to the local market.

W. J. & M. S. Vesey report business
good since Easter. They are cutting
some splendid orchids ' and Shawyer,
Ophelia, Sunburst, Killarney and Rich-
mond roses, but have not nearly enough
to supply the demand. They have or-
ders that were booked at Christmas
time for Mothers' day by patrons who

McCray Florists'
Refrigerators

The McCRAY construction keeps flowers cool and fresh longer
than by any other system of refrigeration. It provides an even
temperature of the correct degree for cut flowers and stops the
great waste and profit loss that is caused by imperfect r^rigeration

The various compartments in a McCRAY are of different
sizes to accommodate the different lengths of cut flower stems and
your flowers are given an inviting display.

For interior linings you have your choice of either handsome
bevel plate mirror or beautiful white enamel, which are very easy
to clean. The exterior may be of any finish desired to match the
interior of your store woodwork or other fixtures.

Invest in a McCRAY. Make it a partner in your business.
You will value it more highly than its mere intrinsic dollar-and-
cents value. Investigate anyway!

The Market

There was no market during the week
ending May 10. The growers will agree
with this statement when they read
their returns. They will say Phil be-
lieves in calling a spade a spade and
they will kick or grin and bear it as
seems best to each and every one. The
retailers most likely will object to such
a sweeping statement, calling attention
to the stock purchased during the week.
But when these orders were picked out
they made such a little, such a very
little impression on the avalanche that
swept down on the wholesalers, filling
their iceboxes and piling their counters
mountain high with flowers, that it
seemed there was no business. But
what became of those flowersf People
want to know — they ought to know.
They are not salted away, kept for a
season of demand, as the daily papers
so frequently assert. They are gotten
out of the way at some price, no matter
what, as quickly as possible. When
this is not possible they are lost. The
wholesalers work like beavers to pre-
vent waste. That is their sole aim at
such a time, when, with a full crop on,
the bottom drops out of the market, as
it did during this terrible week.

With the regular channels closed or
partly closed, new channels became
necessary. These are made by a class
of buyers who come into the market
only on such extreme occasions. They
will use hundreds, nay thousands, of
bunches of sweet peas or carnations
and unheard-of numbers of roses, pro-
vided the price is right. They load their
purchases on wagons chartered for the
occasion, usually a Friday or a Satur-
day, and haul them to certain favored
districts, thickly populated, where they

are distributed right from the wagon.
Kensington, Ridge avenue, in front of
Baldwin's on pay afternoon, these are
some of the favored spots where the
street men have been known to unload
so large a number of flowers in a
couple of hours, that, were I to name
the number, you would undoubtedly
consider me a full-fledged member of
the Ananias and Sapphira Club. The
prices that the street men pay for this
stock depends, as Robert Kift once

aptly expressed it, on the abilities of
buyer and seller, but the seller is fear-
fully handicapped by the mountain of
flowers behind him and the open door
in front, through which the buyer may
at any moment vanish and drive off.
So the price is low and the work is
hard.

This is a true picture of the worst
week that the cut flower market in this
city has experienced this season.
George Aeugle assures me that it is the

A Oonfession.

When Parker Thayer Barnes read his
carefully prepared paper on the red
spider before the Florists' Club's May
meeting, he scored a decided success.
Perhaps this success would have seemed
to Mr. Barnes more pronounced had he
known that he faced at least one mem-
ber who had planned a little surprise
that did not come off. That member
had, in the breast pocket of his coat,
a panacea or cure for red spider that
he proposed springing upon the meeting.
"Gentlemen," he had planned to say,
"here is a sure cure for red spider in
the greenhouse. All you have to do ia
to put it at regular intervals at the end
of your hose, turn on a 40-pound water
pressure and don't be afraid to stoop."
The Rainbow syringe was to have been
held aloft, but it wasn't. Mr. Barnes

seemed so serious, so thorough in his
exhaustive analysis, that it seemed that
such action might be misconstrued into
poliing fun at a scholar and a gentle-
man. This would be such abominable
taste that the member decided to allow
the Eainbow syringe to remain quietly
in its resting place. Instead of pre-
senting it he heartily applauded Mr.
Barnes and then kept still. Don't you

The Market.

As usual, there has come the reaction
that makes stock worth only what the
buyer chooses to offer. All kinds of
flowers, with the exception of orchids
and valley, are present in such abun-
dance that they completely strangle the
market. Prices have receded far below
actual worth, quality considered.

Gardenias are for sale on the streets
at 10 cents each, and in some cases at
three for 25 cents. Of course, the best
stock is bringing $2 per dozen, but the
people content themselves with patron-
izing the fakers. Orchids are worth
their weight in gold; the price contin-
ues high, often $1.25 each at wholesale.
The scarcity of valley is marked, and
scrawny, small outdoor stock sold well
last week at $3 per hundred; last year
it went begging at 50 cents. Indoor
valley, what there is of it, moves rap-
idly at $6. One nearby grower has cut
his consignment forty per cent.

American Beauty roses that brought
$10 per dozen half a month ago now
may be had in hundred lots at that
price, and still there is little sale.
Roses ordinarily worth $12 and $15 per
hundred hang fire at $2. Last week
carnations slumped to $15 and $20 per
thousand. Calla lilies, which with
Easter lilies are being thrown away by
the hundreds, are expected to be in
good demand the end of this week for
church decorations incident to Moth-
ers' day. Early orders find the quota-
tions at $12.50 per hundred.

Snapdragon is as good as has ever
been seen here. America and Augusta
gladioli are exceptionally fine and are
selling well at $8 and $10 per hundred.
Some good irises are also oflfered. Lu-
pines, white and yellow daisies, cowslips
and other spring flowers are in fair de-
mand. Sweet peas are so plentiful that
fakers refuse to buy them at $2 per
thousand. Lilacs and fruit blossoms
are further demoralizing the market.
An unusual feature of the market is
the continued availability of violets and
daffodils.

Club Meeting.

Mothers' day was the principal topic
of discussion at the May meeting of
the Florists' Club of Washington, D. C.
It was declared by several speakers that
the requirement of a white carnation in
memory of mothers should be modified
so that any white flowers would be ap-
propriate for the occasion.

The question of a testimonial to Miss
Anna Jarvis, founder of Mothers' day,
■was brought before the club members
in a letter from Robert Kift, of Phila-
■delphia, asking the local men to con-
tribute to a fund for that purpose. The
following resolution was adopted:

Besolved, That It is the sense of the Florists'
Club of Washington, D. C, that some suitable
recognition should be made on behalf of Miss
Anna Jarvis on account of the Idea advanced,
and the labor and effort expended by her In the
promotion of Mothers' day, which has already
proven beneficial to all of the florists of the
country, and that the subject is one which should
receive the attention of the S. A. F. to the end
that this object may be accomplished.

of pink rambler roses, as yet unnamed.

Z. D. Blackistone has added a fine
display case to the equipment at his
store, Fourteenth and H streets, north-
west. The top, one side and the ends
are of plate glass, while the woodwork
is finished in French gray and white.
The case is about twelve feet long and
is divided into three sections, the cen-
tral one being for ice. In this is stored
the surplus stocks of orchids and other
expensive flowers. The other two can
be utilized for the display of other
stock. Formerly orchids were kept on
a shelf at the rear of the icebox, where
they were hard to reach.

Albert Goldenson, formerly with
George C. Shaffer and at one time with
Z. D. Blackistone, is again in Los An-
geles, where his brother, Morris Gold-

Washington because of the illness of
his mother, who lives in the California
city. He is expected to return to "Wash-

cents each and less. Hadley and
Brunner roses fell to the same level,
as well as Prima Donna; in fact, the
high figures were only for the few se-
lects— $5 per hundred was the average
top price for nearly all the novelties —
and new varieties, and from that on
down to 50 cents per hundred. It is
not often roses fall to a level below
that of carnations. The veterans last
week said we would see even lower
prices, until the influence of Mothers'
day was felt. Some were prophesying
$5 per hundred for white carnations be-
fore May 13 and $3 per hundred for
the other colors.

There was an exceedingly large sur-
plus of carnations May 6. In large
lots $10 per thousand was the figure
at which they were offered, and for
anything mediocre or sleepy 50 cents
per hundred was not refused. Orchids
held their heads high during the week,
but the best of them receded in price
to 40 cents. Valley has joined the
general price retreat, and $3 per hun-
dred is high, except for some of ex-
ceptional size.

There is nothing encouraging to tell
of the gardenia. The corner merchants
ofifer it to the public at 5 cents and
even lower. Longiflorum lilies are on
every counter and in every icebox —
splendid stock, but selling down to $4

The J. H. Small & Sons' new store on

is a revelation, even to New York,
where a score of retail flower stores
have each acquired a reputation for
size, beauty and originality. Madison
avenue, from Dards' to Hession's, and
even farther north, is almost an avenue
of flower shops and now takes prece-
dence of all other streets in the me-
tropolis, there being a flower store on
nearly every corner.

Business has broken all records with
the Stumpp & Walter Co.

A. T. Bunyard was fortunate last

BAYERSDORFEB WINS CASE.

The United States Court of Customs
Appeals has upheld the contentions of
H. Bayersdorfer & Co., of Philadelphia,
Pa., in their appeal from the assess-
ment of duty on immortelles, dried and
dyed, and wreaths composed of immor-
telles, but having straw frames. Duty
was assessed on immortelles at the
rate of sixty per cent ad valorem
under paragraph 347 of the Tariff Act
of 1913, as ornamental flowers, and as
wreaths wholly or in chief value there-
of. This assessment was upheld by the
Board of United States General Ap-
praisers. They were claimed by the
importers, however, to be dutiable under
paragraph 210 as cut flowers, preserved
or fresh, either directly or by simili-
tude, or as unenumerated articles under
paragraph 385. In the higher court the
importers relied chiefly on paragraph
210. It was conceded that immortelles
are ornamental but not artificial.

The real question was whether the
term "artificial and ornamental flow-
ers," in paragraph 347, requires flowers
classifiable thereunder to be artificial
and ornamental, the contention of the
importers being that both characteris-
tics are indispensable to such classifi-
cation, while the government insisted
that the word "and" was used in the

opinion handed down by Judge Barber:
"We have no hesitation in concluding
that these dyed immortelles are
erly classifiable by similitude
served cut flowers.

"As to the wreaths composed of such
dried and dyed immortelles, the evi-
dence is that the straw frame is of lit-

prop-
as pre-

tle value as compared with that of the
flowers composing the wreaths and the
wreaths themselves are without doubt
unenumerated manufactured articles. ' '
This places immortelle wreaths in the
same classification as the immortelles
themselves for duty purposes.

I MOTT-LY MUSINGS I

rillllllllllillllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllliliiiiiiiiii^niillllllllllillllllllllillillllllllilllllj^

The early morning of May 1 found
John Van Bochove, of Van Bochove &
Bro., Kalamazoo, Mich., enjoying the
relaxation of tempting the speckled
beauties, but with only fair success.
"Fishing is a game of chance," he
remarked, looking over a batch of state-
ments in anticipation of more satisfac-
tory returns.

A run out to the Dunlop range at
Richmond Hill, Toronto, found every-
thing in order, nothing lacking in de-
tail, and construction and heating care-
fully planned with a view to expansion.
"We are 700 feet above the level of
the city," observed J. H. Dunlop,
"have splendid soil, an abundance of
light and water and," looking towards
the clouds, "plenty of wind. This
estate of some thirty acres, with the old
homestead and orchard, appealed to me
as an ideal spot, and we made no mis-
take in locating here. Stock ably grown
under such favorable conditions is of
the highest grade." The carnations
grown are Matchless, Good Cheer, Sen-
sation, Champion, Eosette and Enchant-
ress Supreme. Eoses, both grafted and
on own roots, are Mrs. Eussell, Shawyer,
Lady Alice Stanley, Ophelia and
Hoosier Beauty, all much at home. Had-
ley produces too much blind wood to
be regarded as a profitable commercial
sort. There are some seedlings of great
promise, among them a real red Eus-
sell. Ophelia, budded on Antoine Ei-
yoire, is another surprise, an innovation
in grafting in that, when planted deep,
three sets of roots are obtained, so that,
while slow in taking hold, the plant
makes a strong growth and, consequent-
ly, a more vigorous bush. Snapdragon
Dorothy, growing with the Eamsburg
variety, shows itself to be fully twice
the size in plant and flower, which is
of a delicate shade of pink. Mr. Dun-
lop, like most growers of seedlings, is
strong on pedigree and has looked up
his own. He traced his lineage back to
the time of William the Conqueror. The
coat of arms has been emblazoned on
the windows of the Dunlop store and
is rather nifty. Locally he is known
as the squire of Eichmond Hill.

Philip Breitmeyer, of J. Breitmeyer 's
Sons, Detroit, in commenting on the ab-
normally good business conditions exist-
ing in Detroit, of which the trade ap-
pears to be enjoying a full share, pre-
dicted a continuance, for a time at
least, of these flourishing times. "We

are continuing along the highest plane;
consequently we expect to retain and
increase the high-class patronage we
now enjoy," said Mr. Breitmeyer.

Albert Pochelon, of Detroit and the
Florists' Telegraph Delivery, remarked
that, although the wires were working
nicely and even the wireless was pro-
ducing results, there were some who at
the start were a little shy of the pretty
houses built for birds. Now the bird
houses are so popular that the Bemb
Floral Co. is busy filling orders coming
from all directions.

William Dilger, Detroit's landscape
architect and geologist, recently dis-
covered some rare specimens of the
stone age. They will be used in the
construction of a fine rockery for a
leading Detroiter, Mr, Dilger was ex-
pecting Philip Foley, of Chicago, to
accompany him on one of his periodic
tours across the border.

Harry Balsley, of Detroit, says his
slogan is " 'Rah for Peace!" The
initials stand for his red flower pots
and every pot is intended for a flower
or olive branch, as it were.

Hugo Schroeter, of Detroit, says the
storekeeper must enlarge his lines now-
adays to keep pace with the many
changes. He is adding a line of fertil-
izers and insecticides, having many
calls from out-of-town patrons.

M. Bloy, another Detroiter, believes
this season will find the plant men ex-
tremely busy. His experience with short
help is being shared by others. With
stock so abundant and of superior qual-
ity, it is to be hoped everyone will be
able to get in his best work in good
time.

Charles Plumb, of Detroit, has de-
cided to give up growing roses m town.
Ferns have been a specialty with him
many years, in addition to a general
line for retail trade.

Joseph Streit is the latest addition
to the plant growers in Detroit. He
takes over the G. Taepke newer range
June 1 and expects to grow pot plants
exclusively.

The Thomas Mansfield estate, at
Lockport, has decided to hold for an-
other year the stock of its two seedling
geraniums, one a clear, brilliant orange
and the other a rose-pink, both entirely
distinct and extremely striking. The
habit of growth and freedom of bloom
are all one could wish. W. M.

All the growers are as busy as bees
preparing for Memorial day; large
stocks of plants in fine condition are
to be found in all the greenhouses. It
is a custom here to place vases filled
with plants in the cemeteries Decora-
tion day. This item requires a large
quantity of high-grade plants. Phoenixes
and dracaenas are used in the centers,
hydrangeas, geraniums, fuchsias, mar-
guerites, begonias, petunias, heliotropes,
cannas, coleus and crotons for filling.
This class of work calls for the best
stock.

The Minneapolis Floral Co. has an
immense stock of all kinds of bedding
and window box plants. The French
hydrangeas are especially handsome and
comprise all the leading varieties. This
concern expects extra heavy work in
funeral orders, both local and out-of-
town.

Thomas Hall has been hustling with
funeral orders. His spring stock is in
fine shape and he looks forward to an
increased business.

The L. S. Donaldson Co. intends to
discontinue growing and will tear down
the remainder of its greenhouses.

There is a keen cut-price competition
among the Greek florists, of whom there
are many in this city. As a Saturday
special one store was quoting roses at
60 cents per dozen; a block away an-
other store offered them at 75 cents
per dozen. What a pity!

The Dayton Flower Store has been
carrying a fine variety of stock. This
establishment has been in operation
nearly a year and is rapidly extending
trade.

The contracts of the Minneapolis
Civic and Commercial Association for
the filling of plant boxes on 300 elec-
tric standards now nray be- bid on.

The New York Florists had a nice
display of rhododendrons "and azaleas
in bloom. The background was of
palms and Boston ferns. The effect
was, excellent. ...

pieces and corsage work.

The Lake Street Florist Shop has
made alterations in the store. A new
icebox has been installed and the
counter shifted to a more advantageous
position.

J. West, on Fourth avenue, had a fine
display of flowers and plants. He car-
ries a fine side line of goldfishes. Mr.
"West recently invested in a delivery
van. He applies the same push and
energy to his business that he displayed
when in charge of Powers' floral de-
partment.

The window displays last week were
splendid. The Mazey Floral Co. had a
good showing of spring flowers.

The Sunshine Florists gave an at-
tractive display. Here the bright
spring colors predominated.

usual, a mark of good taste. Here one
always finds the most elaborate crea-
tions in vases and other receptacles,
which contain the finest grades of flow-
ers. Last week a large basket of pink
gladioli stood out finely against a back-
ing of greens.

Miss H. B. Whitted's two stores
were charmingly decorated. Much of
Miss Whitted's time last week was de-
voted to entertaining friends who were
in Minneapolis in connection with an
exposition at the National Guard
Armory, Business at the two stores
is good.

Northrup, King & Co. are extremely
busy. The warm weather has made
people consider their flower gardens.
The seedsmen in all parts of the city
are busy night and day.

The Hiawatha Gardens are doing
well. Business is good in all lines.

The Market.

The market last week was in an ex-
cellent condition. Cut stock accumu-
lated and clearances were not easily
made. The quality of the stock wa3
affected to a great extent by several
exceedingly warm days. The demand
was far from rushing and it was oniy
on Friday and Saturday that stock was
cleared. The bulk of the week's busi-
ness was funeral work. Light-colored
stock was in excellent demand. Easter

lilies and callas were abundant all week
and the prices obtained hardly aver-
aged 4 cents.

Carnations will be in great demand
for Mothers' day and prices are ex-
pected to double those of last week.
Sweet peas are becoming poorer daily
and the supply is falling oflf rapidly.
Roses are in good supply and not high
in price. Some excellent stock of Rus-
sell, Ophelia, Richmond and Killarney
roses was seen. Valley, daisies, mignon-
ette, pansies, forget-me-nots, snap-
dragons, tulips and calendulas are seen
daily and have a good demand. Aspara-
gus, smilax and ferns are the greens
in good demand.

Various Notes.

The St. Louis County Growers' Asso-
ciation held its monthly meeting and
annual election of officers May 3, at the
Eleven Mile House, President F. W.
Ude, Jr., presiding. A general review
of the Easter business was made and
discussed. The election of officers re-
sulted as follows: President, William
Winter; vice-president, Thomas Kirk-
wood; treasurer, Hugo Gross; secre-
tary, Joseph Deutschmann, reelected.
The next meeting will take place
June 7.

The officers of the St. Louis Florists'
Club held the monthly conference it
the home of W. A. Rowe, in Kirkwood,
May 5. An interesting program for
this week's meeting was prepared.

good representation to the meeting at

Edward Buechel, secretary and treas-
urer of the Biessen Floral Co., says he
had a busy week of funeral work. The
new members of the recently reorgan-
ized company have added considerable
strength to the concern with new and
good business.

posed of a cut of 30,000 Darwin tulips

Fehr, H. Emunds and the St. Clair
Floral Co., leading Belleville florists,
are at present in the throes of the
busy plant season. All report a big
demand.

A heavy demand is expected for
Mothers' day, as much publicity has
been given the day this year. Many
advance orders have been booked,

Thomas Carr, at the Union Market,
experienced a heavy plant trade last
week. Miss Marie, who has charge of
the cut flower department, says the de-
mand is quite satisfactory. Frank
Gutgesell has charge of the plant
stands.

Frank Weber, of the H. J. Weber &
Sons Nursery Co., says they have had
a busy season in nursery stock. Mr.
Weber is looking for a large St. Louis
representation at the annual meeting
of the American Association of Nurs-
erymen at Milwaukee next month.

Carl Doerflinger, private gardener for
Mr. Keller at the Overland park, says
he will have a large pick of tomatoes
soon, as some are already ripening.
Some additional glass will be built here
this summer.

Visitors last week included Walter
Garbett, of the California Cut Flower
& Evergreen Co., Los Angeles, Cal.;
Guy Eeburn, of A. Henderson & Co.,
Chicago; Frank Farney, representing
the M. Eice Co., Philadelphia, and
M. Le Vine, of Lion & Co., New York.

The Market.

Commencing May 3, the market went
to pieces completely. Warmer weather
sent in a flood of flowers and the de-
mand was not at all robust. As a con-
sequence there was an all-around slump
in prices, which lasted until May 9,
when conditions improved somewhat,
particularly in the case of carnations.
Boses had a hard week and clearances
were hard to make, and then at almost
unquotable prices. The best sellers con-
tinue to be Hadley, Ophelia, Eussell,
Francis Scott Key, Stanley and Beauty,
but prices are now unstable. The slump
was not unexpected, as there had been
a long, uninterrupted spell of good
prices. Carnations sold poorly last
week, but braced in anticipation of
Mothers' day, whites especially having
a tendency to soar. Violets, except for
small lots of doubles, are done. Sweet

peas, after selling finely for several
VFceks, went to pieces on heavy ship-
ments and the prices came down with
a dull thud. Flowers which had been
making $1 per hundred slumped to 25
cents. All grades suffered in like ratio
and returns to shippers must have been
discouraging.

Callas are a drug, fine flowers going
as low as 40 and 50 cents per dozen.
Easter lilies are in the same position;
so are snapdragons, which are in over-
whelming supply at last. Even yellow
marguerites havet fallen heavily in
value. Spanish irfs is abundant and of
superb quality, but does not sell as it
should. Gladiolus nanus is in larger
supply and quite a few of the large-
flowered section have appeared, princi-
pally America. Of indoor tulips and
narcissi the supplies will finish this
week, but plenty of these are now ob-
tainable outdoors. Darwin tulips from
outdoors are late and will not be in
good condition for at least ten days.

Gardenias are abundant but of poorer
quality. Cattleyas are much more abun-
dant; some gigas as well as Mossise now
are obtainable. GLiily of the valley is
not abundant. Asparagus continues to
sell well. The bedding plant trade is
just commencing. Owing to the cool,
damp season, the demand has started
much later than usual. Hydrangeas
and ramblers, which usually have been
in heavy demand early in May, are
moving slowly as yet.

Various Notes.

The big May exhibition of the Massa-
chusetts Horticultural Society, which
is being staged as these notes are writ-
ten, promises to be the finest of its
kind ever held in Boston. The unusually
cold and late season has made it im-
possible to flower some plants on time,
but the display of orchids, azaleas, rho-
dodendrons, wistarias, pelargoniums,
campanulas, fuchsias, heliotropes, cal-
ceolarias, roses, carnations, sweet peas,
bulbous flowers, etc., promises to be
the best ever seen in Boston. The show
comes at a most strenuous period for all
horticulturists, but large attendances
are certain May 10 to 14, while the
show continues. Governor Samuel W.
McCall formally opened the exhibition
on the evening of May 10.

BO years' experience in the florist business guarantees
efficiency to take care of all orders. 20 per cent allowed

to 40,000 sweet peas daily at his stand
in the wholesale market. Two of his
largest shippers are John Marshall, of
the Fruit Hill Greenhouses, Providence,
R. I., and A. B. Hanson, of South Eoyal-
ston, Mass.

Herman WaJdecker, of Braintree, is
sending in quantities of fine Spanish
irises. His Hydrangea Otaksa is splen-
didly grown.

A large attendance is anticipated for
the field day of the Gardeners' and Flo-
rists' Club, to be held May 15, at the
estate of General S, M. Weld, of
Dedham. Members and friends are
asked to take a train for Dedham, leav-
ing South station at 2 p. m., or take
elevated trains to Forest Hills and
transfer there to a Dedham car. All
should endeavor to reach Dedham as
near 2:30 p. m. as possible. Barges
will convey passengers from Dedham to
General Weld's estate. The beautiful
rock gardens will be in splendid con-
dition.

I am glad to report that George Cart-
wright, the genial treasurer of the
Boston Flower Exchange, who has been
at the Peter Bent Brigham hospital for
ten days, is much improved in health.
An operation was not considered
necessary.

Harry Quint has opened a temporary
store at 34 Bromfield street, where he
has a large force of men busy making
up Memorial day wreaths, which he will
make on a larger scale this year than
ever. He has planted a neat privet
hedge around the garden fronting his
Boylston street store and continues to
make attractive bulbous displays there.
Business is good.

with the several wholesale markets con-

tising flowers for Mothers' day in the
Boston dailies.

William Hannan & Son, of Dorchester,
have 50,000 spiraeas coming along in
beds for Memorial day. They also have
15,000 roses, mostly Dorothy Perkins.

The wholesale store of the Welch
Bros. Co. is a scene of activity at any
time, but particularly in the morning.
They handle an immense number of
flowers, and now when prices are low
and flowers unusually abundant they
seem able to dispose of great quantities.
They anticipate a record Memorial day
trade.

Francis Scott Key, Hadley, Ophelia,
d'Arenberg, Russell and a deep sport
from Sunburst are specially fine now
with the Budlong Rose Co. The daily
cut now averages 35,000 to 40,000
blooms.

At Penn's business continues good.
They are making big preparations for
Memorial day and now have forty-three
men on the staff. They are making a
fine exhibit at the big Boston show
this week.

Robert T. McGorum, of Natick, is
growing Ophelia rose remarkably well.
He has excellent success with Hadley,
Russell and Sunburst, all grafted stock.

J. Koppelman & Son, of Providence,
R. I., and F. W. Holbrow, of
Dorchester, are in the market with ex-
cellent America gladioli.

The Houghton-Gorney Co. is special-
izing in dormant deciduous shrubs, in
addition to cut flowers and plants. This
concern is among the exhibitors at the
Boston show this week.

At the next meeting of the Garden-
ers ' and Florists ' Club, May 16, Thomas

this fascinating branch of horticulture,
which is becoming popular here, and
he undoubtedly will have a large au-
dience.

William R. Morris, of Wellesley
Hills, now has a heavy cut of roses.
His principal varieties are Ophelia,
Hadley, Killarney, White Killarney,
Ward and Richmond.

Ellery Briggs, of Dighton, has had
splendid success with Yarrawa sweot
peas this season. His other varieties
are equally good.

W. B. Southworth, of West Stoughton,
has Spanish irises of grand quality.
The stems are remarkable, some being
forty inches in length. He also has
success with Spencer peas.

Paine Bros., of Randolph, finished
their season with tulips and narcissi
from indoors this week. They have
sold uniformly well right through the
season.

Morning Glow carnation, which Ed-
ward Winkler decided not to introduce
this season, has become one of the
most popular carnations in the Boston
market, and his decision to hold the
stock himself undoubtedly was a wise
one.

Jackson Dawson, of the Arnold
Arboretum, who has been confined to
the house for about three weeks, now
is much improved. In the Arboretum
the forsythias are now at their best;

cerasus and pyrus are also attractive.
The nialus and lilac displays promise to
be unusually fine later.

The season here is a somewhat be-
lated one. The ground has been so
wet from frequent rains that carnation
specialists are later than usual in plant-

growers are getting out their plants
this week. W. N. C.

PACIFIC Coast Department

San Francisco, Cal. — The final pre-
mium list has been issued for the
"Great San Francisco Sweet Pea Ex-
hibition ' ' to bo held under the auspices
of the American Sweet Pea Society, in
the concert room of the Palace hotel
June 9 and 10. There are twelve
classes, with another special class for
florists to be added later, with liberal
premiums in each class. Copies of the
schedule or other information can be
had by addressing Frank G. Cuthbert-
son, assistant secretary, 749 Front
street, San Francisco.

Stockton, Cal. — The bad check man,
with a new line of talk, operated in
this city several days ago and counted
among his victims the Valley Floral
Co. and the California Florist. After
buying the flowers the man would speak
of several San Francisco florists, with
whom he appeared to be personally ac-
quainted. This surprised the local
men, who also were acquainted with
those of whom he talked. Finally the
customer brought up the subject of pay
for the flowers, and agreed to have it
charged, unless the florist would care
to cash a check. Well, the forged
checks were cashed in both stores, each
for $20.50.

Tacoma, Wash.— The Tacoma Dahlia
Society has decided not to accept the of-
fer of the National Dahlia Society to
hold this year 's show at Tacoma, * * We 're
not knocking the national body, but
the fact of the matter is our Tacoma
show is more satisfactory," President
Love said. "There is a membership fee
of $5 and an entrance fee of $1 for the
national show, which would keep out
many of the small exhibitors who help
to make our own Tacoma show a big
one." It was decided to hold the show
in the roof garden of Bhodes Bros.,
the dates to be flxed later. No admis-
sion will be charged. Only members
may exhibit.

LOS AKOELES.

The Market.

Contrary to expectations, business
has continued good since Easter, not
only in funeral work but also in deco-
rations. Weddings and other social
functions have cleaned up stock finely.
The gladioli now coming in are extra
fine; America still holds its own as a
good standby in pinks and the hybrids
also are popular. The comparatively
cool weather of last week helped all
outdoor stock, and roses, carnations
and hardy flowers generally are arriv-
ing in good shape. The delphiniums
are showy and good, and there is quite
a demand for the scarlet Transvaal
daisy.

During the early part of the week
the stores were crowded with left-over
lilies, cut and in pots, but these are
gone and most of the growers are far
from satisfied. Ferns are selling well
and there is a certain demand for
palms. All greens are plentiful.

Various Notes.

The L. A. Floral Co. says that the
extra call for stock from out-of-town
points has cleaned up everything daily,

W* ar« muck pleased with the
results of our plant advertisements
in The Review ; orders have come
in freely and from a wide range of
territory.

and, from the inquiries that come in for
Mothers' day and now for Decoration
day it looks as if the clean-up will
continue.

The monthly meeting of the Los
Angeles County Horticultural Society
was postponed from May 2 to May 3
on account of election day. There w^s
only a moderate attendance to hear
Theodore Payne lecture on wild flow-
ers, but everyone who came was well
repaid. Mr. Payne has a wide knowl-
edge of native plants and he sent in a
large number of specimens from Ex-
position park, where he has charge of

some experiments along the line of
educating the public to the beauties of
nature. Why a flat, uninteresting tract
like this park was selected for the pur-
pose, when we have so many hundreds
of acres of more suitable mountain
parks, is hard to say, but city officials
in their wisdom are not like the com-
mon clay.

H. W. Turner certainly has landed
another coup with his baby roses. A
demand has already appeared for these
beautiful varieties and Mr. Turner is
already there with the stock. Many
thousands of all the popular varieties
and many novelties are here. Some
benches of light pink Shawyer plants
this season are making a wonderful
growth; in fact, Mr. Turner's place
never looked better than now.

Charles Lewis has left the Freeman-
Lewis Co. He inteids making a trip
east before settling down to business
again.

The Market.

At the stores business last week was
no more than normal. Several bright,
warm days brought on heavy cuts of
roses and for the first time this year
there were enough roses to meet all
demands. There were plenty of lilies,
irises, stocks, Darwin tulips, sweet peas,
carnations and snapdragons.

Funeral work was a little slack, but
social events and counter trade took
enough stock to prevent any waste.
The advent of clean-up week, a cam-
paign covering the entire city, stimu-
lated the movement of bedding stock,
and all hands were busy h&ndling porch
and lawn decorations.

SAN FRANCISCO.

The Market.

Preparations for Mothers' day de-
manded the attention of the florists
last week and there was evidence on
every side that this comparatively new
flower day would receive wider recog-
nition than heretofore. The observ-
ance of Mothers' -day started in the
east and western florists were a little
slow to take it up, but last year it was
exploited with considerable success and
this year it promises to get a stronger
foothold.

Business is seasonably good, but
there is such an abundance of flowers
that it is difficult to clean up every-
thing. Roses are plentiful and the
quality is excellent. Beauties are par-
ticularly fine, bringing $1.50 to $2 per
dozen. Other good roses can be had
for 25 to 75 cents per dozen. Ulrich
Brunner roses show up well and are
to be seen everywhere. Fine Irish Ele-
gance roses find a ready outlet. Carna-
tions are too plentiful to maintain firm-
ness in prices, but fancy stock is in
the minority and sells well at rather
high prices. There are enough sweet
peas for all requirements, the quality
averaging fair; otherwise they would
be a drug on the market.

Gladioli are coming in quite freely,
there being many of the small varie-
ties and a fair offering of the large
specimens. There is a heavy cut of
Spanish irises and Easter lilies continue
in ample supply. A few good scabiosas
appear and there are large quantities
of gypsophilas, statice, straw daisies,
sweet Williams, mignonette, cornflow-
ers, coreopsis, marigolds, stocks, etc.
Peonies are plentiful. Potted stock has
been rather Scarce since Easter, nearly
all of it having been cleaned up closely
at that time. A few late wistarias ap-
pear, as well as a few ramblers, a lim-
ited supply of French hydrangeas and
some hawthorn. Spiraea is the only
thing that is really plentiful in the
line of flowering plants. Orchids con-
tinue plentiful and of excellent quality.

Various Notes.

The Fairmont Floral Co., which was
succeeded by the MacRorie-McLaren
Co., has filed an application for volun-
tary dissolution. The hearing will be
held June 1.

B. M. Joseph has returned from a
week's automobile trip down the San
Joaquin valley, combining business and
pleasure. He says the florists he vis-
ited seem to be doing a normal busi-
ness. Mr. Joseph planned to exploit
Mothers' day more extensively this
year than last.

Frank D. Pelicano has been confined
to his home for two weeks with rheuma-
tism and expects to go to the springs
as soon as he is able.

The rear of the basement of the
California Flower Market building, on
Bush street, is being fitted up as an an-
nex to the present market. The addition
will accommodate a number of growers
who have been selling flowers on the
sidewalk.

John R. Fotheringham is expected
soon with his usual large line of flo-
rists' supplies.

The E. W. McLellan Co. still is
bringing in a fine cut of Beauties, aver-
aging sixty or seventy dozen per day.
J. A. Axell says they are having suc-
cess with the Ulrich Brunner rose.

Podesta & Baldocchi are featuring
American Beauties at their store on
Grant avenue and are using about
twenty-five dozen a day. They had a
special display of them last week.

to describe it except to say that the bunches figured measure nearly three feet
tall, not including the vase. It is much larger and stronger in every way than

TO THE SEED TRADE:

This is to advise that I have sold
my seed growing farms, buildings and
equipment to The Everett B. Clark
Seed Company, of Milford, Conn.

In retiring from the seed growing
business I wish, while expressing my
appreciation of the patronage with
which you have favored me during the
past many years, to bespeak for The
Everett B. Clark Seed Company, as my
successors, a continuance of your pat-
ronage. Ygj^ ^j.yjy y^^yg^

Members of the seed trade, especially
those who handle California callas, will
pause to note the passing of Alfred Mit-
ting, recorded in this week's obituary
•column.

While seed corn of the 1915 crop has
been unreliable, there appears to have
been enough good stock of the 1914 crop
on hand so that none who was willing to
meet the sellers* views as to price has
been compelled to do without. And some
of the 1914 crop still is on offer.

Eeport has come of the death in action
of Lieut. Eric G. Sutton, second son of
Leonard Sutton, of Sutton & Sons, Bead-
ing, England. The young man was known
personally by many American seedsmen,
as he made a tour of this country a few
years ago, just before he entered his
father's firm.

According to A. H. Smith, of the Leon-
ard Seed Co., Chicago, members of the
trade are already making reservations in
the Sherman hotel for June 20 to 22,
the dates of the thirty-fourth annual con-
vention of the American Seed Trade Asso-
ciation. As the convention will be held
in this hotel, it behooves those who an-
ticipate attending to take immediate ac-
tion.

The Everett B. Qark Seed Co., Mil-
ford, Conn., announces the purchase of
two adjacent establishments, including
farms, buildings and equipment, of Alber-
tus N. Clark and Clifford E. Clark, seed
growers of long standing. The two prop-
■erties are so located between the original
Everett B. Clark farms and the Fenn
farm purchased a year ago that the pur-
chase makes one property of the four.

Further particulars are to hand
through British sources respecting the
accusations of enemy trading made
against certain seed growers at St.

Jacques Hasslach, as already report-

WONDERFUL NEW RACE of COLORED FREESIA INTRODUCED LA.ST YEAR for the FIRST TIBIE

^^^^^^^^H^BBB^^^^Sil^^l

€L Grown and hybridized for a number of
years by Mr. A. Frey, of Crown Point,
Ind. The colors are varied and include
several shades of yellow, orange, lavender
and pink, all, however, harmonizing with
each other, even when bunched together.

€L Habit of plant is branching, each bulb
giving two to three flowers with stems
long enough for all floral purposes.

€t BiUbs offered are of good blooming size
and in a mixture of colors. Separate
colors cannot be offered as yet.

Delivery in July, as soon as bulbs are harvested an€ cured.

TENERIITE-BEEMUDA ONION.

Owing to the lack of rains this win-
ter in the Canary Islands, a consider-
able part of the onion seed crop has
been irretrievably lost and what re-
mains of it is in a rather precarious
condition.

On the other hand, the fact that the
yield of Bermuda onions in Texas has
been smaller than expected, and the
difficulties in transporting^ the Egyptian
onions, will have the effect, so I antici-
pate, of maintaining satisfactory prices
in northern and eastern markets of the
Union and as a consequence the demand
for our seed will be brisker than usual.

With our little crop we will not be
able to face half of the demand from
different countries.

CHIPS

A carpenter is known by his
chips — a bulb house by its trade.
Among the customers of this
house are the largest and most
progressive and prosperous
growers in the world. Real,
permanent success is founded on
knowledge, and not on haphazard
vagaries of chance. The few
who succeed by accident are ever
in peril of reaching failure by
the same route. Large grower^,
buy Ward's lily bulbs because
they know from years of exper-
ience that it pays them best to
do so. This is because Ward's
lily bulbs average more flowers
per thousand bulbs than other
brands. And the reason for
that is due to a thorough knowl-
edge of the lily bulb growing
business in Japan by an organi-
zation of lily growers of long
experience and proven reliability.
If you grow lily bulbs, no matter
what kind, no matter how small
or large the amount is, it will
pay you to get Ward's lily bulbs
for many reasons.

The Florists' Review

^ .•>- ■■•">■•/. V _ ■. ^_ ■;'■_ ->*■'-.

Mat 1.1, 1916.

crop has baffled the expectations of the
growers. Damage has oeen done to the
extent of forty per cent and, as usual,
the poor thrips and the much abused
weather conditions have got the blame
for it. Next to this, the blame for
the ultimate bad result of the sales be-
cause of the onions arriving at distant
points in a "wasty" condition will be
eventually shifted to the shoulders of
the railroad company, the steamship
company, or the negligence of the
broker who sold the onions. But the
fact is that a considerable quantity of
the commercial seed bought and dis-
tributed by the majority of dealers in
America is mainly responsible for the
damage continuously observed in the
last four or five years. These dealers
are involuntarily killing this industry
at both ends and doing a real harm and
injury to the growers and to their own
country at large, by importing, un-
awares, badly degenerated seed.

Commercial seed is degenerated seed
and, although cheap to the American
dealers, it comes out terribly expensive
to the onion growers, in view of the
considerable loss it brings about. Such
seed is no good anywhere and cannot
produce good keeping onions. Hence
the great number of cars which arrive
in a bad condition at northern points.

American seedsmen and dealers have
introduced in Teneriffe such a chaotic
state of affairs, establishing the keen-
est competition among the dealers and
so-called growers here, from bankers
and general provision merchants down
to barbers and tailors, in order to get
the seed at cheap prices, with the
natural increase in their profits, that
the real victim is the onion grower in
the United States.

I am positive that the shortage of
our onion seed will give rise to the
same ridiculous position of the market
over here that happened for similar
reasons in 1912, when everybody in the
trade lost unnecessarily heaps of
dollars.

To avoid the recurrence of such
things, I have devised a common-sense,
practical business plan whereby I hope
seedsmen and dealers in the United
States will secure the seed at moderate
prices under the abnormal circum-
stances of the present fall.

other titles in California, is recorded in
this week's obituary column.

The large wholesale nurserymen are be-
ginning to get their breath again. With
frost, embargo, car shortages, freight

The British authorities have placed re-
strictions upon the exportation of jute
from British territory. Bagging may
hereafter be exported only when each ex-

the approval of the British Embassy at

held at New York May 5 to discuss the
details and put the plan into operation.

the serious difficulties arising from the
action of the British censor in holding
up shipping documents of seed and
nursery stock shipped from neutral

STABK VERSUS STARK.

A bill was filed in the Court of Com-
mon Pleas at Louisiana, Mo., by Stark
Bros.' Nurseries & Orchards Co.,
against the Wm. P. Stark Nurseries, of
Neosho, asking that they be restrained
from using alleged unfair methods of
competition, alleged misleading adver-
tising and the use of certain trade-
marks. It also is asked that a referee
be named to hear the case in the St.
Louis Court of Appeals.

The grievances mentioned have been
considered by associated advertising
clubs of the world. They are contained
in the following statement by Stark
Bros.:

"1. That the defendants be ordered
to cease their present methods of com-
petition against Stark Bros., of Lou-
isiana, Mo.

"2. Stark Bros, state that W. P.
Stark, while still in the employ of
Stark Bros.' Co., attempted to build up
a new business started by his son at
the expense of the Stark Bros.' Co.,

The color is unusual, being an attrac-

edge of bright golden yellow. The
flowers are very large, with an immense
spread of individual blooms.

Wintzer's Colossal

This is without doubt the largest
flowered Canna in commerce. The color
is a strikingly vivid scarlet that re-
tains its brilliancy. It is the most
prolific of its class.

These three head-liners reflect the
quality that won Gold Medals for Swas-

THE BEST RED CARNitTIOII

Plants in 8^-inch pots, ready for bench or field

WINNER of the Silver Medal of the American Carnation Society, at Buffalo, 1916; also WINNER of the SAME
MEDAL in the same class at ST. LOUIS, 1916; also of Silver Medal of S. A. P. and 0. H., at St. Louis,
1916. The color is a most brilliant red. The size of the flower is 3^2 inches. Status 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.

Price o! 2i-inch plants is $12.00 per 100, $100.00 per 1000. We will bill 500 at the 1000 rate

The Market.

Flowers are abundant and cheap,
though some kinds hold at a fair price
for this time of the year. Boses, which
have been high this spring, are much
cheaper. The ordinary grades can be
had at $4 per hundred, the extra qual-
ity blooms at $5 and $6 and the best
at $7. Southern lilacs arrived in larger
quantities last week and found a ready
sale. The many tulips, hyacinths, jon-
quils, etc., in bloom outdoors have re-
sulted in a smaller demand for the flo-
rists' bulbous stock. The flood of
pansy plants in baskets for transplant-
ing is rising higher and there is an
increasing demand for them, but doz-
ens of grocery stores, tea stores, etc.,
are selling them. The pansies are gen-
erally of good quality. Valley is good
and in considerable demand.

A few potted geraniums are appear-
ing here and there, but most of the
growers are saving them for the Memo-
rial day trade, which, it is believed,
will be large this year. Stocks are of
extremely good quality. Spiraea con-
tinues to sell well.

There have been several large deco-
rative orders and considerable funeral
work of late. General business condi-
tions continue to improve and this prob-
ably means that florists may look for-
ward to at least a normal business.

Various Notes.

Fred P. Wolfinger has enlarged his
oflBce. Last week he was busy with
decorations for several large weddings.

Philips Bros, report that business has
been good since Easter.

The store of Peter Penek last week
was decorated with the American and
celebration colors, for the two hundred
and fiftieth anniversary of the founding
of Newark.

The window of the store of August
Begerow was trimmed with the Newark
anniversary colors last week. These
colors are orange and black. On an
orange background Mr. Begerow dis-
played a fine line of black vases, bas-
kets, etc. In the center was a crow
with an orange bow tied around its
neck. * E. B. M.

SAN FEANCISCO NOTES.

[Continued from page 63.]

a few days ago that measured about
six feet high and six feet wide, and had
300 sprays averaging two feet in
length, in fuU flower to the bottom.

Frank T. Schlotzhauer, of the
Francis Floral Co., says business has
been particularly good since Easter. He
has been using the vacant store next
door to increase his display facilities.

The Misses Eothschild and Cohn, who
operate as the Bellevue Florists, in
the Bellevue hotel building, anticipate
a good summer business. Already, they
say, many tourists from the east and
middle west, who were here during the
exposition last year, are beginning to
arrive for the summer, and this is
bound to help the florists.

Pelicano, Bossi & Co. did much to
widen the observance of Mothers' day
in this vicinity. This year they sent
out a neat folder to customers, advo-
cating flowers for Mothers' day.

As evidence of the strong appeal of
the sentiment of Mothers' day and
what a little publicity can do is the
following incident: About three months
ago, "K. C. B.," who writes Ye Towne
Gossip in one of the local daily papers,
made a mistake in announcing the
date of Mothers' day. The public re-
sponded so generously that florists had
an unusually large day's business.

C. Kooyman brought in the first of
his greenhouse-grown gladioli last
week. He has about 10,000 Francis
King, America and Halley.

The MacRorie-McLaren Co. has
moved its wholesale oflices to its retail
establishment on Powell street and will
shortly be comfortably settled in the
new place. Improvements are now be-
ing made in the packing room at the
rear of the store.

The San Rafael Armory has been se-
lected as the flower show house during
the Marin Flower Pageant in San
Rafael, Cal., May 18 to 21. A flower
parade will be held May 20.

The florists of Sacramento, Cal., par-
ticipated in the big celebration there
this week, commemorating the comple-
tion of a 3-mile concrete causeway,
uniting the east and west sides of
Sacramento valley. The carnival lasted
four days and an elaborate program
was carried out, a feature of which
was a floral parade.

The Market.

Stock is plentiful in all seasonable
lines. The demand is fair. Advance
orders for blooms for Mothers' day are
unusually heavy this year.

Koses of all kinds, including Amer-
ican Beauties, are in good supply.
Carnation receipts easily can take care
of all present needs. Easter lilies are
too plentiful, if anything, and have ac-
cumulated. Sweet peas continue to be
abundant. Both orchids and valley
again are in good supply. Snapdragon
has a fair market.

New southern ferns and wild smil.ax
are having a heavy call.

Various Notes.

C. E. Critchell has been having an

excellent demand for southern smilax.

BALTIMORE.

The Market.

The warm weather last week brought
out an extra large supply of cut flowers
and, other than funeral work, litHe
business was done in this line. Conse-
quently the market was oversupplied
and prices reached the low level of the
season. Eoses in particular were too
plentiful and at the close of the week
the street boys had innumerable quan-
tities. Lilacs are in their prime and
are to be had on every street corner.
Lilies, both calla and Easter, were hard
to move at any price. Some good Dar-
win tulips are coming in. Peas have
shortened in stem and dropped in price,
and keep poorly. Sales of bedding
stock are increasing daily and those
who handle this line are busy.

Various Notes.

Edward Kress is proudly exhibiting
the silver medal awarded him by the
American Eose Society for his red out-
door rose. Defiance, which scored eighty-
five points at the Hartford test garden.

Isaac H. Moss reports an extraordi-
narily busy season in shrubs and has
extra men working to keep up with the
orders.

Fred C. Bauer had a house full of
garden roses in pots, but he has moved
them all at this early date.

Word was received here of the death
of William B. Sands, Jr., which oc-
curred at the ranch at Haswell, Colo.,
May 6. Mr. Sands was the son of the
late William B. and Florence M. Sands,
and formerly was in business with his
father near Lakeside, After the death
of his father, a few years ago, Mr.
Sands attempted to carry on the busi-
ness, but his health failed him and he
was compelled to give it up and seek a
more favorable climate. He was born
in Baltimore. He is survived by his
wife, three brothers and one sister.

The regular meeting of the Gardeners '
and Florists' Club was held May 8,
President Hamilton in the chair. The
night was warm and the attendance
light. No business of importance was
transacted. W. F. E.

Altoona, Pa. — During Easter week
Myers Bros, rented a vacant hotel and
cleverly arranged each room with one
kind of plants. There was a rose room,
a tulip and narcissus room, etc., all of
which pleased the people and helped
greatly to move the stock.

USIN&ER'S UTTEEANCES.

Sixty thousand geraniums and an
equal number of ferns, besides thou-
sands of other plants, now are ready
for shipment from the greenhouses of
John Walker, of Youngstown, O.

The Park Flower Shop, of Cleveland,
has opened a store at 7 West Federal
street, Youngstown.

Maiden Lane, No. 35, is the location
of the new home of the Kay-Dimond
Co., Youngstown. Ample floor space and
a spacious window permit a better dis-
play of plants.

Heepe's Sons, of Akron, O., had a
display of rose bushes and hydrangeas
in their window last week. If more of
the florists devoted some time to their
windows, more sales would be made of
the higher class of plants.

The owners of the North Hill Green-
houses, of Akron, have finished build-
ing a new house 30x100 feet. This
will be devoted to bedding stock for
the present season.

The McFarlands, of Akron, have had
quite a rush of funeral work and busi-
ness has held up well since Easter,
which was one of the largest this con-
cern has enjoyed.

W. H. Hutchings, of the Akron
Flower Shop, Akron, had a good dis-
play of potted plants in his store last
week. A truck has been added to the
delivery equipment.

The Imperial Greenhouses, of Akron,
report an unusually busy season follow-
ing Easter.

Williams Bros., of Lorain, 0., have
given up their store on Broadway and
will conduct all business from the
greenhouses.

After twenty-five years of business
at Oberlin, O., V. E. Eice has retired.
Ill health and a desire to "see Amer-
ica first" was the reason. He will
shortly visit his son in the west and
perhaps later on make his home there.
W. Humm and P. Wainright have taken
over Mr. Eice's greenhouses and will
conduct them under the name of Humm-
Wainright Floral Co. Paul Wainright
formerly was with W. Scott, of Lisbon,
0. As for William Humm, this is his
first venture as a florist, but it looks
as though he will make things hum.

THE COAL MARKET.

Since the settlement of the anthracite
wage controversy, which occurred about
the time the last issue of The Review
went to press, the market has been in
a more tranquil condition. There is
still an abnormal degree of uncertainty
about prices, but the tension is re-
lieved. Watchful waiting is now the
policy of a large proportion of the
buyers.

According to the terms of the new
anthracite agreement, which will con-
tinue in force for four years, the day
workers receive an increase of three
per cent in wages, and the contract
workers an increase of seven per cent.
An 8-hour day also is granted. On
the other hand, the miners waived
their demands for the check-off and
the closed shop. In the new bill of
expenses, certain boosts in freight rates
must also be included.

For a short period, at least, while
the sages among the coal men are esti-
mating the additional cost of opera-
tion and transportation, and are decid-
ing as to the wisest way of distribut-
ing the increased burden, the present
prices are likely to remain unchanged.
Then — but prophecy at present is espe-
cially hazardous.

It is expected, of course, that tlie
future rise in the cost of anthracite,
which is already so high-priced that
the name "black diamonds" is no mis-
fit, will result in an enlarged use of
bituminous coal, with a consequent up-
ward trend in the price of the latter
fuel, in accordance with the law of
supply and demand. As yet, however,
there are no signs of change in the
soft coal market. As to smokeless coal,
it is said that some off-grade lots have
been sold at prices ranging from $1.10
tip, but that the true mine-run smoke-
less is not sold much below the circu-
lar figures, $1.35 f. o. b. the mines and
$3.40 f. o. b. Chicago.

MOBE ABOUT OH. AS FUEL.

Neither a desire to argue the case,
nor to defend my statements concern-
ing the use of oil as fuel, prompts me
to answer R. W. Kersey's letter in The
Review of April 20, page 78, in which
he took issue with my reply to C. F. B.
That his letter might easily lead others
into diflSculties is my chief reason for
"talking back."

I challenge Mr. Kersey to point out
a single statement made by me that

Open to Your Perusal from Practical Growers in
Every Section of the Country— MEN WHO KNOW

The Edgar Establishment, Waverley, Mass. Famed for Quality
Entire Plant Heated by Krocschell Boilers

"Regarding the Kroeschell, it is the best we have ever had and satis-
factory beyond our expectations. It heats up especially quick and has saved
us considerable already in the price of fuel. When we are in need of another
boiler, we will give the Kroeschell the first consideration."

(Signed) WM. W. EDGAR CO., Waverley. Mass.

The KROESCHELL has replaced hundreds of cast iron boilers.
In every case higher temperatures are secured with the KROE-
SCHELL with the same piping and with less fuel.

The KROESCHELL is making the most wonderful greenhouse
heating record in the world. Our boilers were installed to heat
2,304,450 sq. ft. glass in 1914. Florists who have used other
makes are constantly giving the KROESCHELL the highest praise.

THAT CONTENTED FEELING

When the KROESCHELL is on duty, -your mind is at ease. The
longer you have it the more you believe in it. THE KROE-
SCHELL IS ITS OWN BEST REASON.

conflicts in any manner with his own
experience. It is evident he did not
understand me. C. F. B. asked about
"fuel oil"; my answer concerned fuel
oil only.

Mr. Kersey says he is burning * ' crude
oil." Crude oil may mean anything
from a heavy lubricating oil, which
could not be burned, to a light oil that
would run seventy-five per cent or more
kerosene and gasoline. It is undoubt-
edly this light crude to which he re-
fers. I have two burners in my scrap
pile, with either of which he could oper-
ate his boiler — provided he has a strong
draft — and discard his motor, blower
and pump, thereby eliminating three
sources of probable trouble. In fact, I
had in mind practically the same burner
he is using when I mentioned burning
distillate, the lowest grade of which is
almost as cheap as fuel oil.

Fuel oil, proper, is the residue of
any or all crude oil after all the com-
mercial oils have been extracted, and
at 40 degrees most of it is about as
thick as common axle grease, besides
having more or less dirt and fine parti-
cles of coke in it. Now, just imagine
forcing this stuff through a pinhole at
the rate of three quarts per hour!

His statement as to the quantity of
oil he burns is indefinite, but if we
suppose he means the standard oil bar-
rel of forty-two gallons, then he is heat-
ing 6,000 feet of glass in zero weather
with less than a gallon of oil per hour,
or about the equivalent of twelve
pounds of good coal. Perhaps I would
understand better if I could see his
plant.

I must admit that my meaning might
be obscure in the way I used the term
"too hot," but by the time Mr. Kersey
ruins two or three boilers with his oil
fire he will understand exactly. We
know well that few, if any, manufac-
' turers would be willing to admit it,
but the fact remains that any inter-
nally fired boiler, regardless of make.

UPPOSE every morning during the cold season you entered your green-
house, you found a nice, clean, new TWO DOLLAR BILL on the bench,
and it was yours to keep,

HOW WOULD YOU FEEL?

The cold season would probably have 150 mornings.

THEN you would have 150 nice TWO DOLLAR BILLS, $300.00.

DO YOU WANT IT? Listen!

Manufacturers of other Greenhouse Boilers admit that $3.50 per day per
ten thousaud feet of glass heated to 60 degrees in zero weather is a reasonable
fuel cost.

WHAT IS YOUR FUEL COST?

WE SAY it ought to be $1.75 per day and can prove that fuel for our boilers
costs but this amount.

IF YOU use another boiler and have 11,500 square feet of glass, your cost
per day is probably $4.0iJ. Change to our bo ler and your cost per day will
probably be $2.0 \ so 150 days gives you the $300.00. Agaia we say:

DO YOU WANT IT?

WHY the difference? It's in the CONSTRUCTION and draft travel.

Besides, you cut out the NIGHT WATCHMAN and save his WAGES.

DO you want to save $100.00 on the FIRST cost of a boiler or $300.(0

size or pattern, is short-lived when oil
is used as fuel,

Mr. Kersey could put his oil supply
tank six or eight feet higher than his
burner, arrange to keep it warm or hot
as the oil he used demanded, discard
his pump, get a burner of the Billows
type — if there is one on the market
small enough — attach his blower to the
steam pipe of the burner and, possibly,
burn fuel oil. At that, his burner would
be independent of his boiler and would
need the same attention as now. On
the other hand, he could install a steam
system, connect up his burner, put an
electric alarm in his bedroom, connect-
ing it to the steam gauge, to guard
against low steam through an accident
to the glass or foreign matter in the
oil, go to bed and forget he had a fire,
as I do. A burner operated with steam
from its own boiler is positively self-
regulating. Further, he could burn any
kind of oil he wished.

I have had some experience with a
number of burners under widely differ-
ent conditions and with many grades of
oil, and to the man using a hot water
system, under average conditions, I do
not hesitate to say, let it alone. To
those using steam or able to change
from hot water to steam, I would say,
by all means burn oil if you can get it,
but do not buy any gold bricks in the
shape of burners; make your own.

BUFFALO.

The Market.

Business averaged good last week,
considering that it -was after-Easter
business and that there was a large
supply of all kinds of stock. Many
weddings and funerals helped to clear
everything rapidly. Prices on some
items dropped, but in general the quo-
tations have not declined so much as
in previous years during the after-holi-
day period.

Beauties undoubtedly have changed
as much as any other item, although
the prices have not varied to any ex-
tent. The supply of other roses was
large, but this has diminished some-
what during the last few days. The
demand has been good, Ophelia lead-
ing, with Russell, Killarney, Richmond
and Sunburst following. Francis Scott
Key is in high demand, but the supply
as yet is rather small.
"^ Considering the weather, carnatioA
are holding up extraordinarily well in
both price and demand. Enchantress
shows the effect of the weatier some-
what. Sweet peas are as popular as
ever and they continue of good quality,
the stems still being satisfactory as to
length. The demand for Easter lilies is
small and the supply easily exceeds the
demand. Iris has made its appearance,
but the supply is limited. Good daisies
sell readily, but the inferior grade is
inclined to drag.

Gardenias are sufficient for all needs,
but cattleyas are the same as last re-
ported— exceedingly scarce. Of jon-
quils and daffodils there is a sufficient
supply, but the quality is not good.
Miscellaneous stock is plentiful and of
good quality, including pansies, calen-
dulas, heliotropes, myosotis and mi-
gnonette.

Gladioli are becoming plentiful; they
sell quickly. Lilacs, either white or
purple, have made no impression on the
market, and, according to the experts,
they will be scarce for the next three
or four weeks. Greens of all kinds are
sufficient, including adiantum.

Various Notes.

The rose bushes are here again.
Every spring W. J. Palmer & Son offer
rose bushes in such varieties as Bon
Silene, Safrano, Killarney, White Kil-
larney, Richmond and Hadley. There
is always a great demand for these, as
there is no difficulty in getting nice
blooms from these. A. E.

ROCHESTER, N. T.

The Market.

Bright, sunny days helped business
considerably last week and trade on
the whole was good. There appears to
be a good quantity of blooming plants
in the -market, including some fine ram-
bler roses, laburnums and hydrangeas.
These have sold well. Bedding stock is
arriving now in good shape, but it was
a little too cold for outside work last
week. Little has been done with porch
boxes thus far.

Judging from the general outlook,
cut flowers will be plentiful for
Mothers' day; the growers are cutting
heavily. There is an abundance of cut
flowers on the market that move fairly
well, but none too brisky. Large ship-
ments of roses arrive dail.v. They are
in good form and sell well. Eadiance,
Sunburst, Ward, Mrs. Taft and the
Killarneys are among the best sellers.
Sweetheart roses and bachelor's but-
tons are being used for corsage work.
American Beauties move nicely, but
none too freely. Valley is good and
moves well. Sweet peas are of excel-
lent quality and have good, long stems.
They are plentiful, but sell well.

Forced bulbous stock is steadily
slackening in supply, but some good
outdoor jonquils, narcissi and daffodils
are arriving and selling easily. Orchids
and gardenias do not move extra fast.
Carnations are plentiful and good, but
they do not bring large returns. Easter
lilies are of good quality and are used
freely for funeral work, of which there
was a large quantity last week.

Various Notes.

Paul Berkowitz, of H. Bayersdorfer
& Co., Philadelphia, was a visitor last
week. He says business is more than
good.

J. B. Keller Sons had a pretty win-
dow display last week, consisting of
laburnum trees in full bloom, arranged
in groups', with baskets of roses and
jonquils in the foreground.

The Lord & Burnham Co. at its local
oflBce reports good business during the
last month. The men are working on
several good-sized contracts.

The Eochester Floral Co. had an at-
tractive window of carnations last
week. A special sale was held of these
at 40 cents per dozen.

W. Gallentyne, of Greece, N. Y., is
cutting some good stock these days.
He is bringing a good quantity into
the market and is doing a lively busi-
ness at home.

Schuyler Arnold, of Spencerport,
N. Y., is advertising extensively his
^' Aster Plants by Parcel Post." He
is offering some of the best varieties,
put up in differently priced collections.
Undoubtedly the public will take ad-
vantage of the novel and practical way
they are offered.

Frank McLuis, who operated a part
of the Unique Candy Store, will open
a flower store in a few days between
Water and St. Paul streets. He has
done a large business at the former
place and finds he needs more room.

Harry Brush, of North Clinton
street, report's a satisfactory spring
business. He was on the jump last
week with funeral work.

A. W. Oilman reports a heavy seed
business this spring and some of his
own strains have been in extra demand.

A NETROrOLITAN rRONISE
IS AS GOOD AS A BOND

Promises, even though made with the best
intentions, are usually very uncertain, unless
the source of the promise is backed up by a
firmly established reputation for reliability
and dependability.

Everything should be incorporated in the
contract. We seldom make a promise, but,
when we do, our reputation proves conclusively
that its fulfillment can always be depended
upon.

The New Jersey Agricultural Experiment
Station, at New Brunswick, N. J., placed their
greenhouse building operations with us, and
the following is what Dr. J. O, Lipman, the
director, wrote after it was completed :

"In so far as I know, the work done
by you was eminently satisfactory,
and I trust that we shall have occa-
sion in the future to request your
company to bid on other work."

Your customers buy potted plants. Often
they wither and die and you are blamed
for the failure. It's simply because plant
food is lacking. Your customers don't
want fertilizers with offensive odors. They
need Odorless Fertile that does not mar
the fragrance of the flowers. Just the material
for Lawns. Flowers. Shrubs and Small Gardens.
You can sell several cans of Odorless Fertllo
to each customer who buys potted plants and
several bags to those with gardens. Make them
more successful and they will become flower
enthusiasts.

FKRTILO is nature's pure plant food and com-
bines all the essential elements required by
plant life: Ammonia, Phosphoric Acid. Bone,
Phosphate of Lime and Potash. Makes the
necessary Humus for enriching the soil and is
also an excellent Insecticide.
FERTILO is odorless, will not get hard and
lumpy. Putupin handy containers in 1 and 6-lb.
sizes, and in 10 and 80-lb. bags. The 1-lb. pack-
age will fertilize 10 gallons of eartb for potted
plants or 50 sa. ft. of surface. Retails for 2Sc.
Full and simple directions printed on each
package.

Florists, truckers and landscape gardeners
recommend Odorless Fertllo.

HOLYOKE, MASS.

The regular meeting of the Holyoko
and Northampton Gardeners' and Flo-
rists' Club was held May 2 in the park
commissioners' office, City hall, Hol-
yoke. There was but a small attend-
ance, due to the fact that many were
badly hit by the spring fever. L. E.
Wilson, of Springfield, was a visitor
and spoke entertainingly of the pur-
poses of the Eastern States Agricul-
tural Exposition, which is to open in
West Springfield, Mass., in October.

Permanent buildings for the exposi-
tion are now in course of erection, and
the speaker suggested the possibility of
arranging for a big flower show there
at some future date. There was but
one exhibit, an exceptionally fine plant
of Hydrangea Otaksa in a 9-inch pot,
grown and exhibited by George Strug-
nell, who was awarded a certificate of
merit. Mr. Strugnell has promised to
tell how to grow exhibition hydrangeas.

Pontiac, Ill.^"Our Easter business
was a humdinger, the largest ever,"
says W. J. Miller & Son in speaking of
last week 's trade. ' ' Everything cleared
nicely. We sold more Easter lilies this
year than any previous year, but potted
plants were slow, compared with their
sale during former years."

North Bergen, N. J. — Mrs. Olga
Schmidt, wife of Henry Schmidt, the
Weehawken florist, died April 18 at
her home here, in her thirty-ninth
year. She was a well known vocalist
and appeared in concerts in New York
and many New Jersey cities. Mr.
Schmidt and two children survive.

South Bethlehem, Pa. — Francois A.
Morse, formerly associated with the
H. F. Michell Co., at Andalusia, and
now employed here, was one of the
guides of the bureau of information at
the Philadelphia National Flower Show.
Mr. Morse was detailed to conduct the
classes of children from the orphan
homes and school for the deaf through
the hall, and tells of pathetic incidents
that occurred during his discharge of
duty.

Have you a Dietsch Greenhouse? If not, you ought to have, and it is not
too late to order your first one now. If you have, your next one will
probably be a Dietsch.

It is never too late to make a change for the better, and a better green-
house than we build has never been built and never will be. Dietsch
houses represent the best — absolutely tried and true from start to
finish and at a fair price, too.

PROVIDENCE.

The Market.

The growers and landscape gardeners
are hustled with outdoor work. Last
week was clean-up week and pruning
work was plentiful. Funerals and May
weddings kept the store people mov-
ing. The sales of pansies, daisies and
bedding stock have been brisk. There
is a plentiful supply of everything in
cut flowers and, as usual, prices are
sagging gradually.

Various Notes.

C. W. Morey, proprietor of the Woou-
socket Hill Nurseries, reports an un-
usually heavy demand for evergreens
and Californig, privet.

M. J. Leach & Sons, of Pawtucket,
have added a car to their delivery de-
partment.

Edward O'Brien, of the T. J. John-
ston Co., who has been confined to his
home, is reported to be improving.

James Annis, of the Hampden
Meadow Greenhouses, has the sympathy
of the trade in the death of his wife,
Mrs. Ada M, Annis, May 4.

Swan Peterson, of East Providence,
has completed a greenhouse 25x100.

Albert Holscher is emptying several
houses of sweet peas at his range on
Hartford avenue and putting in
tomatoes.

Swanson Bros., of 14 Stanton avenue,
are completing a house and intend
erecting another at once.

Joseph Koppelman & Co. are making
rapid progress in removing their range
of greenhouses from Oaklawn to River-
side. Already two houses are under
construction at the new site.

Field daffodils in large quantities are
being cut by the Hoxsie Nurseries, at
Hoxsie station.

The old Longmeadow Gold Club prop-
erty, consisting of eighty-two acres of
land, has been purchased by the Maple-
hurst Greenhouses, Inc., of Warwick,
and will be used as an extension to the
range. The property adjoins the two
acres previously occupied by the green-
houses. A specialty is made of carna-
tions, pansies and shrubs. W. H. M.

REMEDY FOR CUTWORMS.

When cutworms are foimd to be
abundant, the use of poisoned bait is
recommended. This may be prepared
as follows: Mix fifty pounds of wheat
bran, two pounds of Paris green, and
six finely chopped oranges or lemons.
Then bring the whole mixture to the
consistency of a stiff dough by the ad-
dition of a cheap molasses, such as is
used in cattle rations, adding water
when necessary. Distribute this bait
over the infested field in small lumps.
In case bran can not be readily ob-
tained, middlings or alfalfa meal may
be successfully substituted. During the
warmer spring months cutworms do
most of their feeding at night and
burrow into the soil to the depth of an
inch or two during the day, so that the
bait will usually be more effective if
applied during the late afternoon or
early evening hours.

Frequently cutworms migrate to cul-
tivated fields from adjoining grassland,

and in such cases the crops can be pro-
tected by running a narrow band of
the poisoned bait around the edge of
the field or along the side nearest the
source of infestation.

PUBLICATIONS RECEIVED.

["Plant P-opagation; (Jteenhonse aad Nursery
Practice," by M. G. Kalns, professor of horticul-
ture at Pennsylvania State College. Published
by the Orange Judd Co., New York. Sise, 6%x7%
inches- 342 pages; fully illustrated. Price, bound
in cloth, $1.50 net.]

This book will be useful to both nur-
serymen and florists, but especially to
nurserymen. Within the scope of its
purpose it is a most excellent work,
deserving unstinted praise. And that
statement does not imply that the scope
of the book is narrow. But every book
must have its limitations, such limita-
tions as are imposed by lack of space
and by the directness or singleness of
the author's aim. If an author has in
mind a specific, clearly defined theme
or succession of ideas, which he wishes
to treat as completely and intelligibly
as possible within the bounds of the
book's 300 or 400 pages, he should not
be blamed for excluding from the dis-
cussion anything which would hinder
him too greatly in the attainment of
his object.

Let it be distinctly understood, then,
that if a florist wishes to find a com-
prehensive, detailed description of the
propagation of carnations, or chrysan-
themums, or other greenhouse plants, he
must look elsewhere than in this vol-
ume. If, however, he wants clear en-
lightenment on the general subject of
plant propagation — propagation by
seeds, buds, layers, cuttings, grafts or
otherwise; if he wants both a practi-
cal and scientific explanation of the
fundamental principles which underlie
all the processes of propagating, then
he will obtain what he wants in this
book. Moreover, the systematic body
of facts gathered from this book will
form a good basis for the carnation
grower's, or rose grower's, knowledge
of his own special plant.

In other words, the light from this
book will illuminate the entire subject
of propagation, the whole field of oper-
ations, guiding the propagator aright
and preventing many mistakes which
he would be likely to make if groping
in the darkness.

The book is written in textbook form,
with a textbook's logically progressive
development of the subject, and the
reader may either peruse it from cover

be the main constituent of many text-

In describing the various methods of
propagation, the author usually haa

distinctively florists' stock. Hence, as
already stated, the book will be espe-
cially helpful to nurserymen, forming
for them almost a complete working
handbook.

MEMORIAL DAY

i^ A MONEY MAKER

Wi/fe Memorial day little more than five weeks after Easter, and with
Mothers' day in the interim, this i3 a record season for the trade. And
of the three special flower days in five weeks, the one yet to come, with
many, is the mx)st important, hecause the most profitable.

HERE are low spots, of

^ I day cuts little figure with

JL florists, but in that part
of the country where flo-
rists are most numerous
May 30 has come to be the
big day of the year — the
big day because it calls
for the use of more flow-
ers than are sold at Christmas or Eas-
ter; the big day because it marks the
culmination of the bedding season, the
season of cemetery work, the season
when the florist works from dewy dawn
to deepening dusk and does not then get
the day's duties done.

Memorial Day's Many Merits.

It will pay every, member of the trade
to think over the various aspects of the
business, the regular business and the
special features of each special flower
day. Nine chances out of ten a careful
consideration will show up places where
money is being lost instead of gained,
or where opportunities are being neg-
lected. But there's nothing to the dis-
advantage of Memorial day unless it
be that there is too
much to do, and even
this is more easily got
around than at any
other day of unusual
demand.

Think it over and it
will appear to you that
Memorial day has many
strong claims on each
retail florist 's regard,
but that its best fea-
ture undoubtedly is
that the profits are
greater than they are
at any other big day.
The reason for this,
first, is that stock of
one kind or another is
plentiful, so that if one
flower is higher than
ordinary in the mar-
kets another can be
used instead; and, as
an important second
consideration, there is
the fact that most of
the Memorial day sales
are to people who take
the flowers with them,
thus saving much work
for the florist and quite
a little on the delivery
expense.

Then, too, there is
that matter of get-

ting ready. Many a man has been put-
ting in spare time for days, making up
magnolia wreaths against the expected
demand. If he overestimates the quan-
tity he can sell, they will go out for
funerals the next few days and there
will be no loss, which cannot be said by
all of those who overguessed their ca-
pacity on Easter plants.

Yes, from every point of view Me-
morial day is specially worth our at-
tention.

Everybody Interested Now.

Of course the flags and the stacked
muskets still are the window symbols
of Memorial day, but if anyone looks
upon it as principally an old soldiers'
observance, why, either one of two
things is the matter: Either little at-
tention has been paid to what the public
does that day or else the florists in that
town have been neglectful of their op-
portunities.

Memorial day dates back to 1868,
when it was established by the G. A. R.,
but in recent years, as the ranks of the
veterans thinned, the general public be-
gan to observe the day in the same way.

Dress up the Window with Flags, Guns and— Wreaths.

by carrying flowers to the cemeteries.
There still are parts of the country to
which Memorial day has not yet pene-
trated, but in nearly all northern cities
and towns Memorial day in the ceme-
teries calls for the same general use of
flowers that marks All Saints' day in
the cemeteries of the south.

So long as May 30 belonged specially
to the old soldiers it did not really count
in flower selling, but when the general
public began to take hold the trade
naturally got a big boost.

Those who delight to argue have had
warm discussions over the question
whether florists' newspaper advertising
created the demand or whether florists
began to advertise because the public
had discovered it could share the fine
sentiment of Memorial day.

But What's the Difference!

We all know that the demand for
flowers has grown most rapidly as flo-
rists have made known their ability to
meet it.

The first thing one runs up against in
studying the Memorial day demand is
that the public will not stand high
prices; people will not
buy expensive flowers
to leave in the ceme-
teries. However, the
man who is suitably lo-
cated to be reached by
the buyers can sell
large quantities of the
showier kinds of flow-
ers offered at moderate
prices. That's why the
peony is so preemi-
nently the flower of
the day — it makes a
big show for little
money.

The greater part of
the cut flowers sold at
Memorial day go to
the cemeteries in the
form of large, low-
priced bouquets. This
is especially true in
the country towns and
small cities. In the
metropolitan stores

that cater to a higher
class of trade wreaths
sell well and there are
possibilities in low-
priced sprays. One of
the curiosities of the
trade has been the
vogue of the magnolia
wreath trimmed with
artificial flowers. Noth-

ing can be said in its favor except that
certain florists, more particularly in
New England, have built up a big busi-
ness in these, a business now large
enough to attract the attention of covet-
ous department stores. There are locali-
ties, too, where the demand runs to
metal wreaths or wreaths of wax
flowers.

It is the business of the florist, first
of all, of course, to make a living,, by
the sale of pots and baskets as well as
plants and flowers, but there are many
in the trade who never have been able
to bring themselves to handle artificial
stock.

Study; Then Act.

Yes, most decidedly Memorial day is
well worth pushing.

So it behooves each of us to study his
special field, to note what we have ac-
complished in other years, and what our
competitors have accomplished; to note
what others outside our local field are
doing with success and to figure out a
plan of operations that fits our special
needs. It must be a plan, moreover,
that covers three distinct phases of the
business: Arrangement for stock, a
method of apprising the public of the
merits and location of the supply, and
means for sale and delivery.

While a few florists in a still fewer
cities have become large and successful
users of newspaper space, nine out of
ten still content themselves with laying
in a stock and putting a sign in the win-
dow— not always the sign. The man who
does not advertise should be careful not
to overbuy.

Let us resolve now to dress up the
window several days before Memorial
day. This year May 30 falls on Tues-
day, so we should have the decoration in
the window by the Thursday before. We
must use plenty of flags, if nothing more,
suggestive of the day. After that, each
one can go as far as he likes.

BEYOND THE PALE.

One Peter Tremulis, who sells flowers
in a store at Aurora, 111., is quoted as
follows in a newspaper published in his
city:

Carnations, the Mothers' day flowers, are sell-
ing as high as ?1 a dozen and they should be sell-
ing two (ii>zon for 2a cents.

Mind you, I will make as much money regard-
less of the price of the flowers, but I am opposed
to charging exorbitant prices. I believe that a
person slioiild wear any flower he wishes next Sun-
day. If his mother is fond of roses, wear a rose,
etc.

The greenhouse people boost the prices of flow-
ers for Kaster Sunday and then, with the aid of
the special days for wearing flowers, they keep
the price up. Tliey hold back thousands of flow-
ers for as long as two weeks. Many of them
are rotted when they are sold to the Individual.

Let's, quit having these special days for wear-
ing flowers unless the prices arc reduced.

Of course florists all know what kind
of a man it is who says carnations
should retail "two dozen for 25 cents,"
but what are we to think of a person
who gives to the public such unwar-
ranted statements concerning the source
of his livelihood!

Saginaw, Mich.— During the Easter
rush at the Charles Frueh & Sons store,
Theodore Ahrcns fell three stories in
an elevator loaded with plants. The
actual falling of the elevator did not
appear to cause any injuries to Mr.
Ahrcns, but a large iron cog wheel fol-
lowed the drop from the top and struck
Mr. Ahrens on the head, crushing his
skull. He was taken to the hospital
unconscious and an operation was per-
formed to remove the pressure from the
brain.

OPEN LCTTCI^^'- DEADEEid

PBICE IS NO BAB.

In The Eeview for May 11 Charles
Helm expresses the opinion that $7 per
hundred for carnations is in the ex-
treme. Although the wholesale price
for Mothers' day did not quite reach
that figure, any retail florist, by using
good judgment, can easily dispose of
from fifteen to twenty times the usual
number on this day, besides the same
average increase for all other blooms.
Our experience at this writing shows,
and the writer can vouch for this, our
net profit per dozen was as great — yes,
greater than on aiiy dozen throughout
the year, and we were taking no chances
of the disposal of our stock. Mr.
Helm probably has not considered that
many only wear a single carnation,
while few purchase more than they can
afford. This day is not used to
show who can purchase the most, nor
does it resemble a Christmas gift; any
trifling expenditure will express one's
reverence for his mother and any mother
will appreciate a single flower from her
loved ones. Our writer must also re-
member that our better class of buyers
are protected and it leaves an opening

for the spirit of Mothers' day to enter
more homes by having purchases made
in smaller quantities. We had several
churches purchasing carnations, ranging
from fifteen to twenty-six dozen, in our
small villages and we have not heard
a word as to prices being too high,
which shows the sentiment and willing-
ness of the general public.

We carry a policy of one price to
all, regardless of quantity purchased.
Give your customers quality and they
will appreciate it. They may not come
as often or may make smaller pur-
chases, but you have a good and regular
patronage if you follow this up.

We can assure Mr. Helm that no
Sherman law can alter the conditions
under which a grower is moving his
stock or a retailer is selling it. The
Sherman law does not regulate the sun-
shine, germinate the seeds or pay our
fuel bills. Every florist knows we need
such days to make up for our dull sum-
mer months. Besides, we are 'not ped-
dlers, forcing our goods on people, but
place our goods on the open market
for the public's approval.

A STABT IN BOSE GBOWING.

Please tell me how to prepare the
soil for roses and when to bench them.
I intend to plant a house of assorted
varieties of roses for commercial trade,
and will use only the best grafted
stock. A. L. R.— N. J.

Soil for roses should be prepared the
fall previous to planting. It should
consist of fibrous loam and cow manure,
one part of the latter to three parts
of the former, and if it can be turned
over and well mixed once or twice be-
fore using, all the better.

You can plant roses in May, June
and July. I would suggest June if
your beds or benches are ready. You
can get plants in either 2i^-inch or
4-inch pots. As a general rule grafted
plants, worked on Manetti, are superior
to own-root stock. Such varieties as
Ophelia, Double White Killarney,

Hadley, Sunburst and' one of the pink
Killarneys should give you sufficient
variety for commercial trade. Do not
try too many varieties. C. W.

BAMBLEBS FOB NEXT SPBING.

Which are the best varieties of baby
rambler, or dwarf polyantha, roses, in
white, pink and red? Can they be
forced in a temperature of 45 to 50
degrees? Would it be proper to plant
young stock in the field now for potting
in the fall, and would you advise cut-
ting back the young stock when plant-
ing it in the field? A. L. — Mo.

Good varieties of polyantha, or baby

cerise-pink; Mme. Levavasseur, or
Baby Dorothy, clear pink; Orleans,
cherry red; Erna Teschendorff, deep
crimson, a splendid sort; Orleans, deep
pink.

These roses will force well in a night
temperature of 50 degrees, but to have
them flowering for Easter, which comes
early, they would need a little more
heat. For Memorial day trade 45 to 50
degrees would suit them well. You

"them in the field now to pot up in the

FOOB DBAINAGE RESPONSIBLE.

Last July I transferred some rose
plants to concrete benches. Now the
plants seem to be somewhat stunted in
growth. The blooms are poor and the
stems weak. Do you think this condi-
tion can be charged to either under-
feeding or overfeeding? When I
benched the plants I had the usual com-
post; one-fourth well rotted manure,
three-fourths loam and a good sprink-
ling of bone meal. Since that time I
have given three top-dressings of bone
meal. I had some fine flowers this fall,
but the plants did not make much
growth.

The beds do not seem to dry quickly;
the benches appear to be wet all the
time. The benches, which are of con-
crete, have i/^-inch holes every twelve
or fifteen inches. The drainage is un-
usually poor. Do you think this can
have much bearing on the condition of
the plants? Also, is nitrate of soda a
good fertilizer. W. G. — Kan.

From your description of the mixture
of the compost and fertilizer used, your
plants can hardly have suffered from
lack of food, especially as they only
made a weak growth. Your trouble is
more likely to be due to poor drainage.
Cement benches have not proven a uni-
form success for growing roses. While
some good roses are grown on concrete
benches, it takes greater care to do so.
Your drainage is insufficient. There
should be at least a %-inch opening
every ten inches across the bench.

Nitrate of soda is a good fertilizer
for roses if used intelligently, but a
most dangerous one in the hands of a
novice. Your plants do not need such
a strong fertilizer in the state they are
now*in. Keep the water oflF until they
get dry, even if it takes four weeks.
Then give the plants a thorough water-
ing and syringing, to clean both the
soil and foliage. Leave all the growths
on the plants until they start to make
good, strong growths. Water them only
when the soil is dry, and then do it
thoroughly. Use liquid manure after
the plants have made good growths.
Above all, get more drainage in your
benches as soon as it can be accom-
plished. W. J. K.

THE BOSE APHIS.

The rose aphis passes the winter in
the egg stage on the stems and dormant
buds of the rose bushes, according to
A. D. Hopkins, entomologist in the
United States Department of Agricul-
ture. The insects hatching from these
eggs reach maturity in about fifteen
to twenty days, all being wingless.
They are pear-shaped and either bright
green or pinkish in color. At this stage
they begin to produce living young,
each individual in course of about
twenty days producing fifty to 100
young, which, on maturity, are either
winged or wingless and in turn either
green or pinkish. Thus the tender
growth soon becomes crowded with va-
rious sizes, colors and shapes of
aphides. Many generations may follow
one another, covering every bit of
green vegetation on the bush with their
bodies, their cast skins, honeydew, and
the resulting sooty fungus.

The presence of ants on the rose
bushes is an indication that the aphis

Looking Toward the Door at Podesta & Baldocchi'it San Francisco.

is present, because the ants collect the
honeydew from the aphides and, to a
certain extent, protect the aphides
from their insect enemies.

Fortunately the rose aphis readily
succumbs to artificial methods of con-
trol and, with the different styles of
spray pumps on the market, there is no
excuse for allowing garden roses to suf-
fer from these insects. The best rem-
edy is a forty per cent nicotine ex-
tract diluted at the rate of one part
to 1,000 to 2,000 parts of water, with
fish oil soap or laundry soap added at
the rate of one pound to fifty gallons of
the spray mixtures. The simplest way
to prepare the spray in small quanti-
ties and secure satisfactory proportions
of the ingredients is to put one tea-
spoonful of the nicotine sulphate in
from one to two gallons of water and
then add one-half ounce of laundry

soap. One spraying is usually 100 per
cent effective, but if the first applica-
tion has not been thoroughly made, a
second one may be necessary.

HOW TO FIGHT |

THE RED SPIDER I

If

A SCIENTIST'S ADVICE.

[A paper by Parker Tbayer Barnes, assistant
zoologist of the Pennsylvania State Department
of Agriculture, read before the Florists' Club of
Philadelphia and begun in The Review for May
11.]

An Old-Time Bemedy.

The first thing I learned about red
spiders while* serving my novitiate in
the greenhouse was that as the cold of
winter begins to strengthen, making
hard firing necessary, with the result-
ing drier air, the red spider commenced
to flourish and so we all believed that
an arid condition was congenial to the
red spider. I suppose it is in a meas-
ure, but it is not absolutely necessary.
Last summer was far from being a dry
summer, there were no long droughts
in it, and yet I found red spiders in-
festing shade trees in the vicinitv of
Harrisburg, Pa., to such an extent that
the trees had lost their green color
and had taken on a grayish or brown-
ish color, which gave them the appear-
ance as if much road dust had settled
on the leaves and branches.

We were taught that water was the
only remedy. It will wash the spidei-s
oflf, but do they have time to drown be-
fore the water has drained away from
the soil where they fell under the plant,
and so are they or are they not ready
to crawl back on the plant! I do not
know. I have not had sufficient time
to watch them to find out.

Sulphtir Best Exterminator.

Sulphur is the one best bet with
which to fight the pest. You can blow
it on by means of a blow gun; you
can use a lime-sulphur wash such as is
used to kill the San Jose scale on the
fruit trees, but, of course, much
weaker; you can use potassium sulphite,
or liver of sulphur, one-half ounce to
the gallon of water. This last you all
will probably recognize as a standard
remedy for mildew of roses.

Instead of blowing the sulphur on,
you can spray it on. One pound of
sulphur mixed in three gallons of water
and just enough soap to make it stick,
is a standard remedy on fruit trees ns
a summer spray, but in the greenhouse
I would use it much weaker at first,
to make sure of not burning the
foliage. Prof. S. T. Maynard reports
having successfully killed the red
spider in a house of grapes by boiling
the sulphur, but this is a rather dan-
gerous and tedious method.

If I were called upon today to fight
a case of red spider in a greenhouse
or on fruit trees, I would do one of two
things. The first thing would be to
spray the plants with a flour paste.
That sounds like a reckless procedure,
but you will find the paste is so thinly
spread out that when it dries you can-
not see it.

A Government Beclpe.

W. B. Parker, of the federal bureau
of entomology, invented the flour paste

method of fighting red spider while
working on the hop problem on the Pa-
cific coast. It is made as follows, and
these directions are for use in the open;
you should modify them and figure the
amounts for use in greenhouse prac-
tice:

"Use a cheap grade of fiour. Take
eight pounds and make the fiour into
a thin batter by adding a little cold
water at a time, until eight gallons of
water are used. Mash out all lumps.
Cook until a paste is formed, stirring
constantly to prevent caking or burn-
ing. Cooking slowly until the paste
just begins to boil will usually be about
right. If the paste is not sufficiently
cooked, the resulting spray will not be
effective, and if overcooked the paste
will harden when thoroughly cool and
will not mix with water readily. Add
cold water to the paste when done to
make 100 gallons of material in the
spray tank. Keep it constantly stirred
while spraying. Apply thoroughly to
both the upper and under surfaces of
leaves. Use a nozzle making a coarse
spray, and not under 150 pounds pres-
sure, as the driving force is necessary
to penetrate the webs and reach the
spiders. An extra fine spray will not
be effective. This is a contact insecti-
cide and the liquid must actually toucli
the spider. The materials are cheap; so
apply the paste liberally. Watch the
plants carefully, and if newly hatched
spiders are appearing repeat the spray-
ing in about seven days. No spray will
kill the eggs without injurying the
vines."

Barrel of Paste Only 7 Cents.

I have usffd this spray successfully
against red spiders on plum trees in the
Pittsburgh district and I see no reason

why it would not work in greenhouses.
It is cheap and effective and will not
in any way damage the foliage or fiow-
ers. We used Eed Dog flour when mak-
ing our paste. This is a cheap brand
of flour that is a favorite food for hogs,
and my recollection is that it cost us
in actual cash outlay for materials
about 7 cents per barrel (fifty gallons),
ready to apply to the trees.

We bought some potassium sulphide
to try at this time, as this material had
been successful in the cotton experi-
ments in the south, but the fiour paste
was so effective that our experiment-
ing stopped.

The Sulphur Cures.

My one other safe bet would be
sulphur, blowing on the dry sulphur;
or I would use atomic sulphur. This
latter is a paste of finely divided sul-
phur, manufactured and sold by the
Thomson Chemical Co., of Baltimore. I
have not used it, because at Harris-
burg we have no facilities for experi-
menting. This material now is used in
large quantities as a fungicide on peach
trees for the scab and brown rot. In
California Prof. W. M. Scott tells me
that it is used against the red spider
on citrus trees and a great variety of
plants with success. Use, when you
commence to experiment with this form
of sulphur, about one-half to three-
fourths of a pound in ten gallons of
water and a little soap, say one-fourth
of a pound. Dissolve the soap before
putting it in the solution. Soap acts
both as a spreader and sticker.

I have spoken of lime- sulphur wash.
I do not recommend it, because it is
violent stuff and there is danger of
burning the foliage until more experi-
mental work is done. Prof. E. D. Whit-
marsh in a recent bulletin from the
Ohio Experiment Station makes the fol-
lowing recommendation with regard to
its use on violets: "In twenty-five gal-
lons of water mix one-half pint of
Nico-fume and two quarts of concen-
trated lim^sulphur wash." I have no
doubt that it will work like a charm,
but at that strength of lime-sulphur I
am sure some kinds of stock grown
under glass would rebel,' for it is strong
enough to burn peach foliage in the
open.

COMMERCIAL FEBTILIZEBS.

As Compared with Animal Manures.

Having been furnished with a sum-
mary of reports of experiments in the
fertilization of soils for roses and car-
nations grown under glass by a firm en-
gaged in the manufacture of fertilizers,
and having been asked by this concern
to give my opinion on the subject, I
thought that perhaps a general discus-
sion by practical growers in the pages
of The Review might be of 'interest to
the readers at large.

The real gist of the reports seems to
lay stress upon the efficacy of phos-

phatic fertilizers for both roses and car-
nations in increasing production and
seems to favor the use of acid phosphate
rather than that of bone meal. The re-
ports also seem to favor the use of such
commercial fertilizers as acid phosphate,
bone meal, dried blood, blood and bone,
etc., in preference to stable manures, ap-
parently placing the commercial fertiliz-
ers, so called, in competition with stable
manures.

The Needs of Different Soils.

While the reports from experimental
stations regarding fertilization are of
great value to us as growers and in a

1- . »

May 18. 1916.

The Florists' Review

majority of cases emphasize the fact
that every grower, to be successful, must
make a study of his soils and the best
methods for maintaining constant fer-
tility, is it not true that the reports are
often misleading to the average grower?
When we consider the great variety of
soils in use by florists in different sec-
tions of the country, it is apparent that
any series of experiments carried on in
the fertilization of one type of soil will
not always be applicable to other and
entirely different types of soil. Again,
different methods of growing in iden-
tical types of soil will bring about great
variations in the results obtained from
any given method of feeding.

We know that the mechanical struc-
ture and the physical condition of soils
in general have practically as great an
influence in crop production as has the
actual proportion of the three essential
elements necessary to plant life — nitro-
gen, phosphorus and potassium — that a
soil may contain. We know that if the
sole benefit to be derived from the appli-
cation of animal manures to the soil
were in the minute addition of these
three elements, the benefit would be
practically nil.

Two Distinct Purposes.

In view of these facts, why should
we, as growers, confuse the uses of ani-
mal manures, and commercial manures
or fertilizers? Why should we consider
them in competition with each other at
all? We know that by the judicious use
of animal manures, even though we do
not increase materially the total con-
tent of nitrogen, phosphoric acid and
potash, we are bound to produce in the
soil an improved physical condition, de-
rived from the addition of humus and
certain resultant changes in mechanical
structure, such as increased friability
and water-retaining capacity, and in-
crease^ availability of the plant food
elements contained in the soil.

We know that by the use of the more
powerful and more concentrated fertil-
izers, such as acid phosphate, bone meal,
dried blood, etc., we can add to our soils
the three essential elements of plant
food in larger quantities and more eco-
nomically than we can with animal ma-
nures, but commercial fertilizers will
not perform the same work and should
not be used with a view toward dis-
placing entirely the use of animal ma-
nure. To the successful grower of to-
day both forms of fertilizer are prac^
tically indispensable and they do not
conflict with each other, but rather
should be used in conjunction with each
other, performing other separate offices
and aiding each other in the mainte-
nance of fertility in the soil.

Acid Phosphate or Bone Meal?

Personally, I do not favor the use of
acid phosphate in greenhouse soils
rather than good grades of bone meal.
While bone meal may be slower in ac-
tion and, under certain conditions, more
dangerous to handle than acid phos-
phate, I am of the opinion that phos-
phoric acid added to the soil in the form
of bone, phosphate of lime, results in
more permanent benefit than can be ob-
tained through the use of acid phos-
phate and there is less danger of the
soil breaking down in midseason.

I am also of the opinion that we un-
derestimate the real value of judicious
applications of the carbonates of lime

venter of acidity, but is of great value
as an agent in releasing both nitrogen
and potash. In certain soils it also pre-
vents, to a great extent, a chemical com-
bination of phosphoric acid with other
elements, such as iron and alumina,
which would thereby become unavail-
able to plant life.

A Common Cause of Failure.

After years of experience in practical
growing and the use of fertilizers of all
kinds, as well as calling on the trade in
the interests of fertilization, I have
found that one of the most potent causes
of failure in the use of fertilizers is a
habit of underestimating the quantity of
water required by plants, particularly
roses and carnations, during periods of
heavy feeding. Plants that are not in
a condition of growth to permit liberal
watering are in no condition to accept
feeding to any great extent.

Finally, would it not be of inestimable
value to growers at large to invite a
general discussion among growers re-
garding these topics? Many of us are

confronted with an ever-increasing diffi-
culty in obtaining suitable soils. There-
fore the conservation of the soils, and
getting the most out of our investment
in the way of soils and fertilizers, are
matters of utmost importance to all of
us. H. E. Humiston.

IDEAS FROM PARK SHOW.

The semiannual shows at Phippa Con-
servatory, in Schenley park, Pittsburgh,
where John W. Jones is foreman, al-
ways develop somethLog of interest.
Big crowds of Pittsburghers are at-
tracted and one effect is to deter the
trade in Pittsburgh from attempting ♦a
large show to which' an admission must
be charged.

In the spring show this year some
different ideas were worked out which
may be of service to the trade, as they
are readily adaptable to use in window
decorations. Two views in the conserv-
atories are shown in the accompanying
illustrations.

THE A B C OF CUCUMBERS.

I would like to find out what is the
trouble with my cucumbers. I have
650 plants on a bench with bottom
heat, in paper dirt bands. Some of
the plants are all right, while others
rot at the top of the ground and grow
spindly. Should the glass over the cu-
cumbers be whitewashed, and what
kind of fertilizer would be the best?
I keep the temperature at 65 to 70 de-
grees at night. W. P. B. — Mass.

return pipes are under the benches. My
house is 20x48 feet, has three feet of
glass on the sides and is twelve feet to
the ridge. I fumigate with nicotine
papers once or twice a week, using four
papers to the house. I ran out of let-
tuce plants early in the fall and bought
1,000 more. Do you think this may be
the cause of the trouble? I grew good
lettuce with this treatment in 1915, ex-
cept that I used no nitrate of soda.
My house is now filled with lettuce
and it all seems to be affected. Please
tell me the cause of this trouble.

E. H. W.— Neb.

BOSTON'S MAY SHOW.

' Use a light loam for your cucumber
seeds. A little well decayed and brok-
en manure can be added, but no chem-
ical fertilizer must be used under any
consideration, or your seedlings will
be ruined. Cucumbers like a good bot-
tom heat to start them and you should
use muslin to shade them while small,
or a coating of whitening or kerosene
and white lead on the glass will answer
the same purpose. Water somewhat
sparingly kt first. Good seed should
germinate evenly, provided the temper-
ature, soil and watering are right.

MTLDEW ON UITTUCE.

Under separate cover I am sending
some lettuce leaves. Something white,
like mildew, forms on the under side of
the leaves and brown spots appear on

Your plants are attacked by mildew
and, if it has spread all over your
house, I am afraid the crop will be
practically a failure. Mildew is
usually caused by cold drafts. Once
it makes its appearance measures must
be taken -tq check it. The remedial
measure is usually sulphur dropped on
one of the heating pipes or painted on
same. Flowers of sulphur can be iJlown
through a powder bellows on the af-
fected plants. The atmosphere should
be kept dry, and sharp fluctuations in
temperature carefully avoided. A
night temperature of 48 to 50 degrees
is all right, with a rise to 56 or 58 de-
crees on dull days and 10 degrees
higher on bright days. Be sure to give
and reduce ventilation gradually. If
you allow your house to become quite
warm and then rush on a lot of air
you are courting mildew.

Nitrate of soda I do not consider a
necessary or safe fertilizer for lettuce.
It makes the plants soft, and such fall
an easier prey to mildew and leaf-

the upper side. I noticed this first
about two weeks ago. I have picked
off all the affected leaves, but this
trouble seems to be spreading. I keep
the temperature from 45 to 50 degrees
at night and am growing the third
crop. I take off from two to three
inches of soil after each crop and en-
rich with rotted cow manure. I have
used nitrate of soda about once a
week, at the rate of one ounce to two
gallons of water. I do not water the
soil unless it is dry; then I give it a
good soaking and leave it until it is
dry again. I wash the lettuce several
times while it is small. On bright days
the temperature goes up to 60 and 70
degrees. I use hot water heat and the

burn. While cow manure answers well,
I have found that partly decayed stable
manure makes a more satisfactory ma-
nure for lettuce under glass, working
it well into the soil. C. W,

Superior, Wis. — In a lawsuit last
month William Berg charged that T. J.
Tjenswold was violating an agreement
made between them when Mr. Tjens-
wold sold his business to the plaintiff
last December. According to the al-
leged agreement, Mr. Tjenswold was not
to engage jn the florists' business in
Superior for two years. Shortly after
the sale Mr. Tjenswold became man-
ager of a rival flower store. Hence the
action.

Show Too Late; Trade Too Busy.

The Massachusetts Horticultural So-
ciety, in courtesy to the managers of
the Philadelphia National Flower Show,
this year held a much reduced spring
exhibition and scheduled a larger one
for May, somewhat as an experiment.
The postponed show was held May 10
to 14, at Horticultural hall. While the
show was a large and attractive one,
it failed to come up to expectations.
The time selected was most unfortu-
nate. Commercial men were well
cleaned out of plants for Easter and
both they and the private gardeners
were rushed to the limit to keep
abreast of their work, with a shortage
of labor all around. Furthermore, in
the middle of May, when trees, shrubs,
bulbs and rock plants are blooming in
profusion outdoors, the general public
cannot be blamed for preferring the
open-air displays. Boston, after this
experiment, hereafter is unlikely to
postpone its regular . spring show.

In some classes there was no compe-
tition; in fact, several should never
have been included in the schedule.
Early May is no time to have classes
for achimenes, Campanula pyramidalis,
gloxinias or amaryllis. The walls in
the main exhibition hall have just been
painted a grayish color. This is better
than the previous horrible brick color-
ing and it appears well under artificial
light, but is mildewy and sepulchral
under natural light.

Other Displays of Merit.

Among the miscellaneous displays
W. C. Eust had some nice hanging
baskets of fuchsias. Donald McKenzie,
gardener to E. B. Dane, had an excel-
lent group of foliage and flowering
plants, such as gloriosas, amaryllis,
hydrangeas, lilies, etc. Charles Sander
received a first-class certificate for a
well flowered Cyrtopodium punctatum.
He also showed standard wistarias and
a fine group of imantophyllums. For
a group of hybrid azaleas, crosses be-
tween amcena and Hinodegiri, he re-
ceived a gold medal, and for a batch of

Behmannia angulata Pink Perfection
and a fine pink seedling rhododendron
he received honorable mention.

The Blue Hill Nurseries received a
silver medal for a collection of 100
varieties of hardy evergreens, the finest
lot ever staged here. Esty Bros, had
ranunculi and izias. Donald McKenzie,
William Thatcher, W. N. Craig and
others had hydrangeas. Thomas
Boland received a silver medal for
bougainvilleas, beautifully flowered.
The Albert Eoper estate, for the new
deep pink carnation, Albert Roper, re-
ceived a silver medal. This is un-
doubtedly the finest and freest deep
pink carnation yet introduced. S. J.
Goddard received a certificate of merit
for his crimson seedling, Doris.

Only One Retailer Comes Out!

Pierce Bros, received honorable men-
tion for their rose, Tip-Top, and similar
awards went to T. D. Hatfield for
Lseliocattleya Waban; to F. W. Fletcher
& Co. for Delphinium Cliveden Beauty;
to E. H. Wetterlow for Geranium Mrs.

Lester Leland. T. D. Hatfield showed
some large Acacia armata. B. & J.
Farquhar & Co. furnished an attractive
garden arrangement. James Wheeler
received a silver medal for superior
culture of yellow marguerite, Etoile
d'Or. Alex. McKay had fine plants of
Astilbe Philadelphia and Henry
Stewart had large specimens of
Dendrobium nobile and Oncidium
flexuosum.

Thomas T. Watt had standard hy-
drangeas, azaleas and Medinilla mag-
nifica. J. L. Smith, gardener to A. W,
Preston, received a silver medal for
Brassocattleya Maronse. The Julius
Eoehrs Co. contributed a group of
orchids. Penn the Florist was the only
retailer to make a display. He was
awarded a silver medal for the best and
most pleasing display yet arranged
here by any retailer. His display at-
tracted much attention and other re-
tailers should wake up and advertise
themselves in a similar way.

Walter Hunnewell received a silver
medal for a beautiful group of yellow
rhododendrons, or Azalea Sinensis.

H. R. Comley on the closing day put
in a nice table of exhibits. Frank
Edgar had a large group of specimen
hydrangeas.

There was a large attendance at the
show, but not equal to what Boston
usually sees at its earlier spring shows.

PROPAaATINO GENISTAS.

How shall I take rooted cuttings
from genistas, and how are they
started? H. A. M. — Minn.

Genistas are easily propagated, win-
ter being the best time for this work.
Rub off small side shoots with heels,
such as, in many cases, will not bloom.
Insert them in a clear, sharp sand in
a cool propagating house, with a bot-
tom heat of 60 to 65 degrees. The
cuttings should be watered lightly
once a day until they are rooted. Then
decrease the supply. Lift and pot the
cuttings in small-sized pots. Propa-
gation is less satisfactory when warm
weather has set in, but is quite easy
from October to March. C. W.

HATCHER'S WORK ON YARRAWA.

Winter Tjrpes in Australia.

In far-away Australia there is a man
who is to the sweet pea world what
Thomas W. Pockett is to the chrysan-
themum. He is William H. Hatcher.
Writing for a Sydney paper, he says of
his recent breeding work:

"One glance at Yarrawa was
enough. I scrapped the whole of my
summer peas for good and all. The lot
went straight on the rubbish heap. I
have never regretted that vandalism.

"Arthur Yates claims, and rightly,
to be the first to cross Yarrawa. He
had it two years before allowing us
ordinary mortals to see it. I quickly
recognized its possibilities and classed
it a true Spencer. In fact, it is Coun-
tess Spencer itself, as far as I can
judge, sported early for the benefit of
Australians in particular and the world
in general.

"It is true that we had some early-
flowering sweet peas before this; but
while good in color, earliness and free-
dom of growth as ypell as perfume, they
lacked size and form. Only a few were
of the open type, the great majority
being badly hooded. Having a few
such growing about the place, I crossed
them with the first flowers on my Yar-
rawa. I was afraid an accident might
deprive me of the most magnificent
thing I had seen to date. Every pod
so crossed set and filled with good seed.
I saved everything, and I rowed them
out next year, taking care to sow each
pod of seed separately.

Fine Blues Not Fixable.

"The result delighted me. One cross
made with the Marquis gave me six
plants, displaying the finest shade of
blue I had ever seen in sweet peas.
Allied to the color was the perfect
Spencer form, with large flowers and
long stems, and that without any show
cultivation.

"Saving the whole lot, keeping each
color by itself, I harvested about 1,000
seeds of the blues and sowed them all,
with great expectations of raising a
huge crop of the best winter-flowering
varieties in existence. Alas! how green
I was in those days! Things are not
quite so simple. They bloomed surely,
but instead of having a crop^ as I ex-
pected, repeating the colors of the seed
I sowed, with only one exception 1
never saw those first flowers again.
The thousand plants from the Marquis
and Yarrawa cross gave me every color
except white and cream. These I got
by another cross with Earliest of All.
I had at least thirty or forty shades
and colors, besides numerous flakes and
picotees. The only color to reproduce
itself from the first year was the blue.

but of course mixed as I have shown
with innumerable others.

"Besides colors, the forms were also
varied, ranging from the old hooded
type through the open to the Spencer
type. Here was another dilemma.
Providence has a knack of coming to
our aid in such moments.

' ' Knowing nothing of fixing peap and
less of the laws of heredity governing
such matters, I well remember, while
pondering over the matter, picking up
one of the daily papers and reading an
article on the subject, being referred
to books on the subject which were
procurable in Sydney. You can weU
imagine that I lost no time in making
an extended study of this subject,
which I still continue, and a most in-
tricate one it has proved. So much
light was shed on the question that I
was enabled to proceed with confidence,
knowing what I was about and not
groping in the dark after the unob-
tainable.

Many Good Novelties.

"I succeeded in fixing from the prog-
eny of the Marquis cross, several reds,
red flakes, purples and pinks, but the
original blue I could not fix. Every
time I sow it, and I have tried thirty
or forty different plants, it breaks into
its original color and a proportion of
blue flakes and a purple-violet of the
old type. I am still trying and hope
for success, especially as I have repro-
duced it from another distinct cross.

"Some of these on fixation, although
of the same color, were better then
others, carrying stiffer and longer
stems, larger flowers, more upright
standards. I dislike the overcurled

and waved ones. In some cases only
trivial differences were in evidence, but
there was quite enough to place one
ahead of the others. Those were saved
and the others discarded.

"Exactly the same routine was gone
through with all my crosses and then
the intercrossing of fixed varieties of
my own raising, and also of the best of
other raisers, was begun. Here lies the
greatest hope of advance in the future.

What He Is Working to Obtain.

"There seems to be great diversity
of opinion among horticulturists as to
the best type of Spencer peas, or even
as to the correct type. All sorts and
conditions of sweet peas are sold as
such, ranging from the enlarged gran-
diflora with flat standard, to varieties
in which the standards are so distorted
backwards as to almost touch. Both
types, to my mind, are wrong; the first
because it has not -the grace, the light-
ness and daintiness of the waved vari-
ety, the second because it exaggerates.
No one wants to turn a flower sideways
to see it and then only have half of it
visible. It loses greatly in size and
form when bunched and can never give
the same artistic effect as the true
form.

"To me the ideal lies midway be-
tween these. The standard or back
should be upright, as it is in the gran-
diflora type, but it must be waved and
curled gracefully, with great width; the
wings or inner petals should be waved
in such a way that they do not open to
show the keel. The keel is the seed
pod. This fault is common in some of
our best summer Spencers.

"Looking at a bunch of such, one is
struck by something incongruous, in-
definite, which one hesitates to name
and yet knows to exist. Closely scru-
tinized, you will find that the fault lies
in the open keel. Their color under-
neath is of quite a different shade, and
does not harmonize with the rest of the
flower. The keel coloring is generally
a dirty creamy-white, which detracts
from the whole and is the reverse of
pleasing.

' ' I am quite aware that few varieties
exist combining all the good factors as
set out above. Still that is no reason
why they should not. Time and work
will bring those we seek. All God's
mills grind slowly."

Hardy Perennial Seeds.

Probably you have a few frames un-
occupied now. If so, you can use them
to good advantage by sowing seeds of
hardy perennials in them. If they are
started now, you will have nice field
stock of nearly all sorts before fall,
and some of them will flower. If your
trade calls for any considerable number
of these hardy plants, it will be money
well invested to sow liberal batches of
the delphiniums, aquilegias, lychnis,
poppies, especially the oriental types;
campanulas, Shasta daisies and other
popular varieties.

Perhaps some of your customers have
got a touch of the rock garden fever,
which is spreading fast, especially in
the eastern states. A few easily raised
and cultivated varieties for this purpose
are the following: Viola cornuta, arabis,
aubrietias, primulas, alyssums, sedums,
Phlox subulata, Iceland poppies, Dian-
thus plumarius, dwarf varieties of cam-
panulas, linums, linarias, armerias and
ajugas. This is only a partial list, but
it will be better not to start with too
many varieties.

Stevias.

Have you a suflScient quantity of

stevias propagated? If not, there still
is time to put in a batch of cuttings.
These plants are indispensable to the
small country florist and; as they can
be had over a long season, a generous
batch should be grown. Stevias may
be grown in pots through the summer,
or planted out. While the plants in the
open ground will attain a large size,
there is always a probability of their
getting more or less broken and dam-
aged at potting time. For that rea-
son, pot culture through the summer
has some decided a^dvantages.

Show Pelargoniums.

•

Show pelargoniums are now coming
into flower nicely, and during the next
six or eight weeks will make a splendid
show. Be sure to give them a fumi-
gation once in ten days, to keep them
free from aphis. They need a cool, airy
greenhouse, from which the direct rays
of the sun can be excluded. This is
not the time to propagate show pelar-
goniums. Wait until the flower season
has passed and the plants have had a
little rest; then you will get good cut-
tings in abundance.

Hunnemannias.

Of the various annuals grown for cut-
ting, the hunnemannias, or Mexican
poppies, are among the best. The seed
can be sown outdoors any time during
May. Sow rather thinly and in an
open, SHuny spot. The plants grow
slowly at first, but assert themselves as
hot weather comes along. They bloom
late in the fall and do not mind a tem-
perature a few degrees below freezing.
They are splendid for cutting and the
flowers remain fresh several days in wa-
ter. The flowers are of a rich butter-
cup yellow color and the foliage is
feathery and glaucous. The flowers re-
semble those of the eschscholtzia; hence
the common name, bush eschscholtzia.

Faoicy-Leaved Caladiums.

In repotting fancy-leaved caladiums
use a somewhat lumpy compost contain-
ing equal parts of fibrous loam and
peat, adding some partly decayed
leaves, old cow manure and sharp sand.

Of course the plants will grow well in
pure loam, but with us they do better
in the compost given. They will grow
in an ordinary greenhouse once we get
really settled warm weather, but as yet
they do best where it is somewhat
warm and close. Do not shade them
heavily, or the leaves will lack sub-
stance. When well rooted, feed them
with liquid manure. These beautiful
caladiums are not of much value for
bedding out north of Philadelphia, but
they are splendid for house decoration
and succeed well on piazzas that are
not too exposed and too wind-swept.

AcMmenes.

While achimenes are not seen much
nowadays and there are only a limited
number of commercial plants, they are
useful summer-blooming plants, good
alike in pots, pans or baskets. In
baskets they are seen at their best and
make a really beautiful show, not un-
like well flowered baskets of petunias
in the distance. Like other greenhouse
bulbous plants, they will not stand
bright sunshine. They succeed well in
the average greenhouse and make
salable plants. The stems should be
staked in pots or pans. The stakes
should be thin and, if painted green,
will never be seen once the shoots have
overtopped them. Try achimenes as
basket plants on sheltered piazzas and
you will be agreeably surprised at the
long season of bloom.

SOCIETY OF AMERICAN FLORISTS.

Houston Convention Garden.

Superintendent C. L. Brock of the
convention garden now being installed
on city property at Houston reports that
the exhibits received so far are small
in number. Intending exhibitors are
requested to send their exhibits at once,
as the convention dates are rapidly ap-
proaching.

The liberal treatment accorded our
society by the city of Houston, in set-
ting apart a splendid site for the gar-
den, and arranging to take upon itself
the burden of furnishing labor and ma-
terial in order to make the installation

a success, deserves more than the scanty
recognition at present forthcoming.

All who can exhibit plants and
shrubs are urged to do so. The cost, 10
cents per square foot, is ridiculously
small — insufficient to prevent anyone
from exhibiting on the ground of ex-
pense. In making an exhibit there sure-
ly is some pleasure to be found in aid-
ing the society to carry out its plans
to have a convention garden wherever
the annual convention may go.

Superintendent Brock would be
pleased even if only fifty exhibitors
would take 100 square feet each. He
points out that, although the date is
late, potted stock can be plunged and
a creditable showing made.

HOUSTON IS HUSTLINO.

The Houston florists, now that their
busy season has passed, are giving their
attention to preparations for the Au-
gust convention of the S. A. F., firm
in the belief that a great and lasting
benefit is to be had from this meeting
in the south. There is every reason to
suppose this will be the largest gather-
ing of southern florists ever held and
that many from the north ;ill take this
favorable opportunity for a first south-
ern trip. A trades' display of fair size
is assured by the number of concerns
that have many good customers in
Texas.

E. C. Kerr, vice-president of the S.
A. F. and leader of the Houston forces,
has begun a campaign of publicity to
let the trade know that the convention
city affords accommodations second to
none and facilities equal to a greater
test than by any chance will be put
upon them. The Eice hotel, known as
one of the best in the country, will be
S. A. F. headquarters convention week.
It has 600 outside rooms, is three blocks
from Convention hall and eight blocks
from the Convention Garden in Sam
Houston park. The illustration on this
page shows San Jacinto battlefield park,
on the Houston ship canal, where the
S. A. F. outing will be held August 18,
an affair that will be unique in trade
annals.

MILWAUKEE.

The Market.

Mothers' day certainly caused some
excitement in the local market this
year. Stock was scarce and great diffi-
culty was experienced in taking care
of orders satisfactorily. The supply ex-
ceeded that for Easter, omitting, of
course, the plant end of the business.

The plant sales^ while they showed
some increase, are yet in their infancy,
but the possibilities are wonderful and
this occasion will sometime be one of
the biggest days of the year. Some of
the florists got together this year and
placed advertisements in the different
local papers, boosting Mothers' day.
From the sales it would seem that the
plan was highly successful, and there
will in all probability be a permanent
fund for advertising, to keep flowers in
the minds of the people.

Carnations were scarcer than at
Easter time, for, although the cut was
larger, the demand more than kept pace
with the increased supply. From $6 to
$8 per hundred was the price realized on
this stock and it was entirely cleaned
up. Boses sold exceptionally well, but
did not move as freely as carnations.
The quality of the roses was better
than the carnations and the prices were
just as low or lower for short-stemmed
stock. Mrs. Eussell roses were in abun-
dant supply and sold readily, finding
more favor than any other variety in
the market. Sweet peas also sold well.
The crop was fine and the supply was
large. Immense quantities were readily
disposed of at satisfactory prices.

This surely has been a gala season
for bulbous stock, as it still is with us
and selling well, although the quality is
steadily deteriorating. Greens sold ex-
ceptionally well and the supply, while
large, fell short in meeting the big de-
mand. A few orchids were in the mar-
ket and sold readily at the usual prices.

Wild smilax has had an exceptionally
good season this year and the stock
has been uniformly good, with a few
exceptions.

Easter, Mothers' day and Mtemorial
day, coming so close together this year,
have made the greenhouse men go some
to get the stock shifted and in shape in
time.

Various Notes.

The Shriners' ball, an annual affair
of the Masonic order, was given at the
Auditorium May 6. The decorations
were composed mainly of smilax and .
palms. The ball, which is always elab-
orate, called for large numbers of
corsages, which kept some of the local
florists busy S^iturday afternoon.

William Lubliner, 225 Grand avenue,
was operated on for appendicitis at a
local hospital May 8. Dan Lubliner re-
ports that his brother is in fine shape
and will be out in about a week.

L. L. May, of St. Paul, Minn., is in
town at the Mount Sinai hospital un-
dergoing treatment. Mr. May has been
in poor health for some time and it is to
be hoped that these treatments will
help him quickly.

C. C. Pollworth went to Fond du Lac,
Wis., last week to attend the funeral
of Robert Haentze. H. J. S.

The business heretofore conducted un-
der the firm name of J. M. Fox & Son
has been incorporated, the stock of
which now is owned entirely by the
members of the old partnership. The

business will be carried on under the
corporate name of J. M. Fox & Son.

MINNEAPOLIS, MINN.

Various Notes.

Rice Bros, had a busy time with large
orders for Mothers' day. They had
difficulty in getting enough first-class
stock. Carnations sold at $6 to $8 per
hundred and roses brought $4 to $8 per
hundred.

The daily papers carried a handsome
advertisement for the Minneapolis Flo-
rists' Club. It represented a young
man presenting his mother with a box
of flowers.

are shipping out large orders of chrys-
anthemum cuttings. The manager
said: "If you have anything to sell,
advertise it in The Review and you
will get all the customers you want."

The Minneapolis Floral Co. had a
record business in work of evefy de-
scription. The staff has been enlarged
and an immense stock of plants is be-
ing prepared for Decoration day. This
concern usually does a fine lot of plant-
ing for the trade exhibitors at the state
fair.

W. H. Bofferding is making a special
offer of gladioli. He had a fine win-
dow display of gladioli and cosmos last
week and reported an increased busi-
ness all around.

Max Kaiser has an exceptionally fine
lot of rambler roses, hydrangeas and
general bedding stock. He is cutting
some fine lilies and orchids.

Oscar Carlson is cutting a fine lot of
roses and carnations.

Wessling's Greenhouses are looking
quite gay with a large stock of potted
plants of many kinds.

Hans Rosacker had a good cut of
carnations for Mothers' day. His stock
is in a fine, healthy condition.

The Eldridge Floral Co. made a spe-
cial effort for Mothers' day. The store
was a mass of fine carnations and roses.

Oscar E. Amundsen's taste for deco-
rating runs in baskets. He always
uses them in window displays, but the
variety and tasteful arrangements of
the baskets make the displays unique.

J. Hayden, of the Florist Shop, is
pushing the sale of spring stock. He
is adapting himself to the requirements
of the particular trade. Adaptability
means utility; utility of space in quiet
times means increased returns.

Mr. Mitchell, proprietor of the Lake
Street Florist Shop, does his local ad-
vertising through the "movies." A
picture of the store was featured for
Mothers' day.

R. A. Latham has a fine lot of box-
wood and clipped trees. He has on
exhibition a good assortment of French
hydrangeas.

O. C. Swanson never fails to have his
display windows so attractive that
passers-by stop and admire. He fea-
tured special boxes of carnations for
Mothers' day.

Miss H. B. Whitted had a good dis-
play May 11. The color scheme was
yellow, yellow irises predominating. At
the time of writing. Miss Whitted is
seriously ill with heart trouble. She
had an acute attack May 12, while out
in her touring car. The doctors have
ordered her to take a twelve months'
rest. F. E. B.

London, England. — James Carter &
Co. have been making fine displays of
that glorious golden daffodil, King
Alfred. Their shop windows have had
some good flowers lately and the big
show the firm put up at the R. H. S.
hall attracted a great deal of attention.
The bulbs are getting fairly cheap now,
and we hear some good orders have been
booked for next planting season.

Sydney, Australia. — A recent confer-
ence of those in the trade, held to formu-
late a plan for the protection of mutual
interests, resulted in the adoption of
low minimum prices for all standard
lines of stock and an agreement to de-
stroy such quantities as can not be
sold at the specified prices. Apparently
the trade is living up to the agreement
and cut price offers and auctions have
practically ceased.

Yokohama, Japan. — There seems to
be a revival of interest in fern balls
and shapes, a considerable quantity
having been exported this season, espe-
cially to England. While balls are sold
in greatest number, the odd shapes take
well. Monkeys with porcelain faces are
a novelty, also elephants with bone
tusks, squirrels with bushy tails, and
other animal forms. All are filled with
Davallia bullata for green.

London, England.-r-With reference to
the recent show of the Perpetual Flow-
ering Carnation Society, American
growers will be interested to note that
Beacon captured the medal for the best
vase in the show, while Pink Sensation
beat Philadelphia for one vase of any
variety.

London, England. — The U. S. consul
general has information that the British
Board of Trade proposes shortly to issue
rules restricting the importation of a
considerable list of articles, among them
bulbs, flower roots, plants, trees and
shrubs. As England has been a large
consumer of Belgian, Dutch, French and
Japanese stock, the closing of this mar-
ket will have an important bearing on
the supply from the 1916 crop to be of-
fered in the United States.

Ollioules, France. — The bulb growers
are meeting with much difficulty be-
cause of labor shortage, but it is ex-
pected the crop can be harvested in
sufficient quantity to take care of all
export orders. The railroad at Mar-
seilles has been nearly monopolized by
the military, but if this condition pre-
vails at shipping time it will be possi-
ble to team the bulbs to the dock, as
was done in a small way in 1915. The
Fabre line steamers to New Y'ork are
sailing quite regularly.

WORCESTER, MASS.

FORT WAYNE, IND.

Mothers' Day Business.

Mothers' day now is one of the big
days of the florists ' business here. That
was demonstrated by the huge business
done by the florists May 13. The car-
nation supply became exhausted and
lilies, tulips, hyacinths, marguerites
and, in fact, everything that could be
had, was in great demand. Never be-
fore did the public make such an out-
lay for flowers.

Three of the prominent florists com-
bined and ran a page Mothers' day ad-
vertisement in the papers. The returns
were wonderful. How badly the public
wanted carnations was shown by the
experience one florist had. A customer,
after trying everywhere to buy carna-
tions, saw a few wilted blooms on this
florist's work bench. He immediately
wanted to buy them. The florist ex-
plained that the flowers were wilted
and of no use, adding that he would
not sell them. The customer, however,
wanted them, and flnally suggested that
if the carnations were not for sale,
could he have them for nothing?

The Annual May Exhibition.

The Worcester County Horticultural
Society's spring exhibition. May 11,
was declared one of the best the society
has had in years. The exhibits, espe-
cially the potted plants, were of ex-
ceptionally fine quality and the table
decorations were particularly artistic
in arrangement.

In the center of the hall was a large
garden of rambler roses, hydrangeas,
pelargoniums, rhododendrons and green-
ery. The centerpiece was a large
palm, exhibited by H. P. A. Lange.

In front of the stage E. W. Breed
had a similar garden, and along the
sides of the hall were tables of tulips,
hyacinths, pansies, roses, carnations, etc.

Mr. Lange had a unique table deco-
ration. In the center was a novel ar-
rangement of Ophelia roses and valley
in a high-standing shower bouquet.
The corsages and boutonnieres were
made of Ophelia roses, and hand-tinted
butterflies, held by cupids, were used
as place cards.

Lucy M. Coulson's table had Aaron
Ward resell in a cut glass basket as a
centerpiece, with sprays of adiantum,
and bouquets and boutonnieres at each
« plate. Four candle-holders with golden
shades were effectively used.

The awards were:

Cut flowers — H. F. A. I.ange. first; A. Jenkins,
second.

Round basket — H. F. A. T^ange, first: L. C.
Mldgley, second; Mrs. I'ercy Forbes, third: Lucy
M. Coulson. fourth.

Hyacinths— E. W. Breed, first; Mrs. H. L.
White, second.

TuUps— H. F. A. I.ange. first: W. D. Ross,
second; Mrs. W. E. Sargent, third; Mrs. H. L.
White, fourth.

Pansies— E. W. Breed, first; L. C. Midgley,
second; L. M. Coulson, third; Mrs. K. Warren,
fourtli.

Zonale geraniums — H. F. A. Lango. first; W. D.
Ross, second: Lucy M. Coulson. third; A. W.
Hixon, fourth.

Table decoration — H. F. A. Lango. first: Lucy
M. Coulson, second; Mrs. L. C. .Mldgley, third;
Mrs. P. B. Forbes, fourth.

Plant display— H. F. A. Lange. first: E. W.
Breed, second; Mrs. II. L. White, third.

Table of wild flowers — Mrs. M. A. Maynard,
first.

Various Notes.

H. F. A. Lange cleaned up everything
he had for Mothers' day. He had a
good window display for the occasion.

Harry Kandall was another florist
whose Mothers' day business was im-
mense. He advertised the day and re-
ceived good returns. H. L.

The Market.

Trade last week was enormous, on
account of the Mothers' day demand,
which began two days before Sunday,
May 14, and continued until 5 o 'clock
Sunday afternoon. The general report
is that Mothers' day business far ex-
ceeded that of last year. Most of the
florists state that they were entirely
sold out of both white and colored car-
nations and could have used many more.
This was, no doubt, the result of sys-
tematic and effective advertising by the
local retail florists in the daily news-
papers and also the mailing of folders.
Not only carnations sold well, but roses
also, both white and colored. Prices
were good. Carnations were $6 to $8
per hundred. There was an especially
good sale of blooming plants, which
were, delivered Saturday and Sunday,
while the cut flower orders were mostly
counter trade.

The florists are now turning their at-
tention to Memorial day business, and
the growers are busy getting the bed-
ding stock ready. Business in the bed-
ding plant line has been somewhat slow,
as the weather has been uncertain and
several frosts in exposed places oc-
curred last week, making the public
wary of buying too soon. However,
the temperature has risen considerably
within the last few days. Outdoor bulb-
ous stock is in full bloom and shrubs
are flourishing. Stock is rather scarce
since the big clean-up for Mothers'
day. Roses are more plentiful than
carnations, of which there are only a
few on the market. *' Lilies and snap-
dragons are plentiful. There is a good
supply of small flowers in variety.

Wedding orders are plentiful and com-
mencement exercises are beginning.

Various Notes.

The Pandell Flower Shop donated the
gross proceeds of its counter sales of
Friday and Saturday last week to the
new open-air school projected by the
Anti-tuberculosis League. Considerable
publicity was .received in the daily
papers.

Miss Margaret Vesey is spending sev-
eral days in Burlington, la., where she
went as an Indiana council member to
attend the convention of King's Daugh-
ters. W. J. & M. S. Vesey report a
booming business for Mothers' day,
with the supply, although large, not
nearly equal to the demand in either
white or colored carnations. Saturday
they refused wholesale orders for thou-
sands of carnations.

Over 2,000 applications have been
made in the contest for beautiful back
yards, for which a prize of $50 has
been offered by Mrs. Josephine Nesbitt,
who is conducting a civic beautification
campaign.

Mrs. Richard Blossom, of the Flick
Floral Co., will be hostess for the May
meeting of the Equal Franchise League,
May 19, at which Judge Wilson, of
Louisville, Ky., will speak on "The
Juvenile Court." The Flick Floral Co.
reports a record business for Mothers'
day. This firm had plenty of white
carnations to meet the demand, but
was short on red and other colors. The
sale of roses and blooming plants was
large. Considerable advertising for
Mothers' day was done. This firm also
had a large business in bouquets for
the graduation exercises of the nurses
of the Hope hospital. May 9.

R. P.

Savannah, Ga. — A. C. Oelschig &
Sons recently rounded out their thirty-
fifth year in the business. A. Carl,
Carl H, and Albert C. Oelschig are the
joint owners. »

Montgomery, Ala. — Roseniont Gardens
distributed a neatly printed Mothers'
day folder embodying a price list of
plants as well as cut flowers, and did
a record business. The couplet coined
by The Review, "For Mothers at home,
flowers bright; In Mother's memory,
flowers white," served to turn the de-
mand into general channels.

Alvin, Tex. — Conditions have been
more than usually favorable this season
and, unless for some freak of the
weather, the shipments of cape jasmine
buds for Memorial day will be the
largest that ever have left this center.
There are more people growing the
stock, and more shippers than ever be-
fore. Orders on file are fully up to the
best previous records and the indica-
tions are that no unusual quantity of
stock will be sent to commission houses.

Tucson, Ariz. — Charles E. Morton has
closed his store until next fall and
with Mrs. Morton will spend the sum-
mer in San Francisco.

Corinth, Miss.— The Corinth Floral
Co., recently established here, is mak-
ing extensive improvements. The con-
cern since its organization has built
large greenhouses and cold storage
buildings, but the rapid increase in
business has compelled the expenditure
of additional sums for the expansion of
the range.

Portsmouth, Va.— W. T. Cotton last
week was acquitted by a jury in Hust-
ings court of the charge of violating
the Sunday labor law. He had been
fined $5 and costs in the police court
for having sold flowers Sundays. In
the lower court the magistrate decided
that flowers do not come under the head
of necessities and, for that reason, the
sale of flowers Sundays should be pro-
hibited. The florist appealed from this
decision and acquittal followed in the
higher court.

KANSAS CITY.

The Market.

The condition of the market last
week was all that could be expected.
There were plenty of cut flowers of all
kinds and business was brisk. Mothers'
day business was beyond the anticipa-
tions for the day and everyone reported
an increase. If there "had been sun-
shine instead of rain, the business no
doubt would have doubled that of last
year. As it was, everyone cleared com-
pletely. Pot plants had an unusual call
— anything that had a flower sold. Car-
nations were the leaders and there were
not nearly enough of them to meet the
demand. Everybody sold out before
closing time, the prices ranging from
$1 to $2 per dozen.

Eoses did not move so quickly as ex-
pected. The late buyer bought them
hurriedly, as there were no carnations
to be had. Sweet peas were slow dur-
ing the week and there was no great
rush for them for Mothers' day sales.
Peonies were rather strong last week,
but the demand was slower than it
should have been.

Gladioli and snapdragons were well
cleaned up each day, both being of ex-
ceptional quality. Lilies and Spanish
irises are a great help in the funeral
work.

Various Notes.

Samuel Murray reports that his
Mothers' day business was an increase
over that of last year. He disposed of
many plants and filled baskets.

Arthur Newell is well satisfied with
the business done Mothers' day.

W. L. Eock reports this Mothers ' day
as being the largest he ever experi-
enced. He had enough of everything
to meet the demand. The cut of carna-
tions last week was 25,000, besides a
large quantity of roses.

The Geo. M. Kellogg Flower & Plant
Co. reports business for the day as ex-
ceeding its expectation. The store stafl!
sold everythirrg^y 12 o'clock; there
was not enough stock to take care of
the demand. This concern has been
filling porch boxes for customers this
year. Miss Fuller, the bookkeeper, was
confined to her bed last week. Mr.
Thomas, of the cut flower department,
announces the arrival of a big baby boy
at his home last week.

The Alpha Floral Co. reports that the
rainy weather spoiled an exceptionally
fine business Mothers' day, but as it
was they had at least a twenty per cent
increase over the same day last year.

Biedermann & Son had an automo-
bile accident on the last delivery May
14. Another car tried to pass in front
of Biedermann 's car. This forced the
driver to the curbing, damaging the
front wheels. Mrs. Biedermann has
been confined to her room for more than
five weeks and now is low.

T. J. Noll & Co. report that they had
more stock for Mothers' day than last
year, but nevertheless cleared it all,
doubling the business for the same day
last year. They received more than
20,000 carnations from Colorado, which
were especially fine and of large size.

Henry Kusik & Co. sold out corh-
pletely. They had a large supply of ev-
erything, including a big batch of baby
gladioli.

W. J. Barnes is well satisfied with
business for Mothers' day. He made a
clean sweep of cut flowers and had an
unusual run on pot plants. W. J. B.

the westetn air has benefited him, as
he looks hale, hearty and happy. He
will lead a more or less retired life,
having gained his desire in life — the
establishment of one of the finest flower
stores in the country. His two sons
come in for a share of his prosperity,
Thor Zetlitz having the retail store and
Eolf being at the head of a large range
of glass devoted to roses, carnations
and other flowers. During my visit to
the retail store there was a fine display
of outdoor tulips. Design work was
heavy and everybody was busy.

H. H. Cade, of Youngstown, is dis-
playing some fine carnations and roses.
Funeral work has been plentiful and a
general air of prosperity abounds.

The advance sale of bedding stock
is keeping Adgate & Son, of Warren,

a good showing of hydrangeas and lilies
for Mothers' day.

The Heiss Co., of Dayton, O., had a
complete clean-up for Mothers' day,
which was the largest it ever had. Busi-
ness was suspended Saturday noon in
order to fill delivery orders, and Sun-
day saw the clean-up of all odds and
ends. W. W. Horlacher and the Heiss
Co. cooperated in advertising Mothers'
day. W. T. U.

OBITUARY

Joseph Krug.

Joseph Krug, one of the best known
citizens of Alton, 111., died at the fam-
ily home May 8.

Mr. Krug had been ill for some time.
The greater part of the winter he was
confined to the house and a part of the
time to his bed. He began to improve
a few weeks ago and was able to get
about the greenhouses at times and
made a trip or two downtown, but two
weeks ago he suffered a relapse.

Mr. Krug was one of the early set-
tlers of Alton, He purchased the pres-
ent home when it was a woods. Clear-
ing off the land, he began in the vege-
table business and later began the flo-
rists' business, both of which lines
grew from time to time until more land
was needed and one greenhouse after
another was built. For many years he
was the only florist in his vicinity. He
was a good business man and made
friends as he went along.

Joseph Krug was born in Minster,
O. He would have been 80 years of
age November 22. He removed to
Alton fifty-five years ago and located
upon the premises which continued to
be his home until he died. He and his
wife celebrated their golden wedding
anniversary ten years ago. Besides his
wife he is survived by three sons and
seven daughters, all of whom reside in
Alton.

The funeral was held May 10, from
St. Mary's church. Interment was in
Greenwood cemetery.

Capt. Jolin H. Elliott.

Capt. John H. Elliott died Thursday,
May II, in his eighty-fourth year, at
Washington, D. C, and was buried Sat-
urday from Samson's chapel. He was
one of the best known men connected
with the florists' and nursery business
a generation ago. At one time he was
associated with his brother, B. A. El-
liott, who was one of the first men to
attain prominence in the trade in Pitts-
burgh. Capt. Elliott was born in
Brownstown, Pa., and was connected
with the flower business until the out-
break of the Civil war. Being a mem-
ber of the old Duquesne Grays, he was
among the first to be called out. He
afterward recruited a company of cav-
alry, having a building erected at the
corner of Fifth avenue and Wood
street. To this some of the business
men objected, but he only laughed at
them and kept his band playing until
he had formed his company, which
went right into service and few of its
members came back. He was wounded
twice and suffered from the effects of
the wounds all his life. He was of a
genial disposition and a friend of every-
body. He leaves two sons and one
daughter, all grown up. Clarke.

C. Fred Fauth.

C. Fred Fauth, 33 years of age, a
well known florist of Baltimore, Md.,
died May 13 at the Franklin Square
hospital, from the effects of a fractured
skull, sustained by falling from a mo-
torcycle three days previously. After
the accident he was taken to the hos-
pital, but he remained in a semicon-
scious condition until his death. He is

survived by his father, two sisters and
three brothers. The funeral services
were held from the residence of his
brother. May 15, under the direction of
the Masonic lodge. W, F. E.

Urlali B. Wakeman.

U. B. Wakeman, of the Detroit Cut
Flower Supply Co., Detroit, died May
1 in the Harper hospital, following an
illness of two weeks. Mr. Wakeman
was born at Fenton, Mich,, seventy
years ago. At the age of 20 he moved
to Detroit and engaged in the produce
business. Later he left for the interior
of the state, but returned to Detroit
fifteen years ago and started a florist^'
business. He is survived by two
brothers.

WiUiam G. Bowand.

Wm. G. Eowand, for many years in
charge of the warehouse of Henry A.
Dreer, Inc., Philadelphia, died May 10,
at his home at Haddonfield, N. J. He
had been a member of the Dreer force
for thirty years, and by his faithful
and loyal service had gained the confi-
dence of his employers and also the
high regard of his fellow workers.
Funeral services were held at his home
on Sunday afternoon, May 14.

FBESH OB STOBAGE BUIiBS?

If I do not have enough heat to bring
fresh bulbs, of Lilium giganteum into
bloom for a medium early Easter, would
I have less trouble with cold storage
stock? At what time must I plant
them when Easter comes about the
first week of April?

R. A. B.— Pa,

Careful attention is required to bring

fresh Lilium longiflorum giganteum
into bloom by the first week in April.
Less difficulty will be found with cold
storage bulbs.

The bulbs should be potted as soon
as received, using a light, moderately
rich, well-decomposed soil, and placed
in a frame or cool house where they
will have a temperature between 40 and
50 degrees. Early in December repot
them, and for a month keep them at a
temperature of 50 degrees. Early in
January raise the temperature to 60 de-
grees, and about the middle of Febru-
ary to 70 degrees. Use lukewarm wa-
ter for watering. After the flower
stalks start, begin making weekly ap-
plicationg of liquid manure.

Many of the failures both with Ber-
muda and longiflorum lilies result from
the use of too much manure in the pot-
ting soil and the use of cold water for
watering. T.

ADVEBTISEBS PI*EASE NOTE.

Advertisers will find it a means of
getting the best service for themselves
if they will remember that The Review
begins sending forms to press as early
as circumstances will permit after 5
p. m. each Tuesday.

Attention is given every advertising
order received up to the last delivery
of mail on Tuesday, but instructions to
insert, discontinue or alter an ad, if
not received by Tuesday, usually must
wait a week for attention.

No week passes that a number of
letters containing advertising instruc-
tions do not arrive Wednesday and
Thursday, one or two days too lato
to receive the prompt attention their
writers would have received if they
themselves had acted promptly.

Fred Holznagle believes he was one
of the first in Detroit to adopt the card
or record system for boarders, which
in box trees run into the hundreds.
My attention was called to several beds
of carnations, which were in fine shape.
There were Beacon, Enchantress and
Winsor. The last-mentioned, I under-
stand, is yet a profitable kind. Lady
Bountiful is admired for its perfect
shape and delicious fragrance.

F, G, Lewis, of Lockport, N, Y., said
he had but one kick to register, and
that was when he ran out of any line
of stock and saw it in the classified
columns of The Review, for unless he
wired the advertiser he usually was too
late.

Gottlieb Easier, of Black Rock, N, Y.,
has added an electric sign at the en-
trance to the greenhouses. It puts the
finishing touch to this up-to-date place.

Big strides have been made in the
growing of palms and decorative plants
in the' vicinity of Chicago, and, judg-
ing by the extensive additions being
made, this city will be quite a factor in
the market in the future.

Frank Oechslin, West Quincy street,
Chicago, has added a complete range.

The George Wittbold Co., Chicago,
is adding houses and extending the nurs-
ery at Edgebrook.

The Poehlmann Bros. Co., at Morton

Grove, 111., are adding to Plant A, for
palms and fancy stock. Earl Poehlmann,
until recently at school, is the latest addi-
tion to the staff and he intends making
the palm department his specialty.

The Thompson Carnation Co., of Jo-
liet. 111., reports an excellent season,
both in growing and selling. Aviator
has been widely disseminated and an
even larger distribution is looked for
next year. Superb then will be sent
out, now that its color is established.
Matchless is splendid; in fact, these
three varieties are growing as one in
growth and bloom. P. W. Peterson fig-
ures that there are almost half a mil-
lion plants in the field.

The J. F. Kidwell Co., of Downers
Grove, 111., is strong on geraniums. A
seedling named American Beauty, and
having a color similar to its namesake,
bids fair to become one of the most pop-
ular varieties. The Belmont plant is
cutting fine Killarney and Killarney.
Brilliant roses, while Milady, after hav-
ing been grown for two years, is con-
sidered more profitable than Beauty and
will supplant it next season. Mrs. Aaron
Ward is grown extensively. The range
at Downers Grove is old and well suited
to the raising of plants. The newer place
at Belmont is right up-to-date, even to
its own electric light plant. W. M.

There are those, especially araotig
those who deal exclusively in cut flov/eis,
who report that Mothers' day was "bet-
ter than Easter. ' '

Labor shortage has become one of the
diflSculties with which the trade has to
contend, especially in the east, where
munitions factories are offering rates of
pay for unskilled labor that are im-
possible to plantsmen and cut flower
growers.

Importers are awaiting anxiounly
some word regarding the spring ship-
ments of bay trees from Ghent. Cables fail
to produce a response. Shipment ia sup-
posed to have been made, but no word
has arrived regarding stock that usually
is in, unpacked and partly sold by this
date.

In Washington park, Chicago, instead
of massing the bulbs in large beds as
heretofore, they were scattered along at
the edges of the extensive plantations of
shrubbery. The effect this spring has
been admirable and the plan is to be
commended wherever the bedding method
has become monotonous.

The thirteenth annual meeting of the
American Peony Society will be held at
New York June 9 to 11, when the usual
exhibition will be staged at the American
Museum of Natural History in coopera-
tion with the Horticultural Society of
New York, Secretary A. P. Saunders,
Clinton, N. Y., has issued what he calls
an unofficial premium list, aimed to gain
amateur participation to a greater extent
than usual. When the complete list is
ready George V. Nash, secretary New
York Horticultural Society, Bronx park,
will supply copies.

RESULTS.

We give them. You get them.

We both have them.

As profit margins narrow credits
tighten up. It does not pay to sell to
the man who does not pay.

One of the excellent features of Me-
morial day business is that it makes
no demand on one's originality. Bou-
quets or wreaths for the cemetery are
what are wanted and one can focus his
effort on merchandising a quantity.

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:

individuals each did something indepen-
dently. The places where Mothers' day
cut no figure are the ones in which the
trade did nothing to arouse the public.

AMERICAN ROSE SOCIETY.

May 23, the members of the American
Rose Society are invited to meet at 9
a. m. at the store of Gude Bros. Co.,
1214 F street, N. W., Washington, D. C,
and proceed to the test rose garden. The
invitation to attend this examination of
the hundreds of outdoor roses is cor-
dially extended to all who may be able
to do so. Benjamin Hammond, Sec'y.

MOTHERS' DAY.

Mothers' day has been a great suc-
cess, greater, indeed, than the most san-
guine expectations.

But the success of Mothers' day, this
year the same as in other years since
The Review first advised the trade of
its possibilities, has been in direct pro-
portion to the effort florists put into the
work of apprising the public of the sig-
nificance of the day. While the id6a of
Mothers' day originated outside the
trade and the trade has had the assist-
ance of an act of Congress and numerous
proclamations by governors and mayors,
the real work of exploitation before, the
public would have remained undone
Avere it not for the trade — has remained
undone where the trade has not risen to
the occasion.

Mothers' day makes a strong appeal
to the public, but the day is of such re-
cent origin and so lacking in association
with history or religion that its sig-
nificance must be advertised time and
again before the date will become fixed
in the minds of the public. During re-
cent months literally dozens of mem-
bers of the trade have written or tele-
phoned to The Review, "What is the
date of Mothers' day this year?" If
the men who get the profit out of the
day can not remember that it always is
the second Sunday in May, how can the
public be expected to remember?

There are cities from which it is re-
ported that Mothers' day this year was
ahead of Easter on the sales of cut flow-
ers. Those are the cities in which the
florists got together and worked all the
avenues of publicity, or in which the

LOCK UP YOUE INSECTICIDES.

At Waukegan, 111., a murder trial waa
begun May 15, the turn of which will
hinge on the cyanide of potassium used
for fumigating in a greenhouse.

February 10 the body of Marian Lam-
bert, daughter of Frank Lambert, head
gardener on the J. Kuppenheimer estate
at Lake Forest, 111., was found in the
woods near her home. There were crys-
tals of cyanide of potassium on her
cheeks and right hand. Will H. Orpet,
son of. E. O. Orpet, superintendent of
the C. H. McCormick estate at Lake
Forest, was arrested and now is on trial.
There is no direct evidence against him
thus far disclosed and the jury appar-
ently will have to decide from the cir-
cumstances whether young Orpet gave
the girl poison from his father's stock
of fumigant or whether for the purpose
of self-destruction she took some from
her own father's supply. The state is
trying to prove murder, the defense,
suicide; but either side would fall could
it be shown the fathers' stock of fumi-
gating materials was inaccessible to any
but the man in charge, as it ought to be.

So far as the record goes, there is no
other case in which a charge of murder
has been based on the easily obtained
poison in a greenhouse, but several acci-
dental deaths have come about through
persons swallowing nicotine extract by
mistake. Near Chicago there have been
two cases in which children of florists
have thus lost their lives.

Our greenhouse insecticides are sud-
den death. They should be handled with
the utmost care. The time to lock them
up is NOW.

CHICAaO.

Special Notice.

The Review is advised that the sec-
tion north of Chicago is being can-
vassed by a person who offers The Flo-
rists' Review at cut rates or as a pre-
mium free to anyone who will subscribe
to the Farmers' Review. Any such
person is a swindler.

The trade is again advised that The
Review employs no solicitors other than
the regular members of its staff, whom
nearly all florists know; that the paper
never is sold at cut rates and that it
never is offered with or as a premium.

The Market.

Not one dissenting voice is heard on
the market when one advances the
opinion that last Mothers' da.y week
was the best the Chicago trade ever
has experienced. Some wholesalers say
it was sixty per cent better than last
year, others say twenty-five per cent,
so it may be safely assumed that the
increase was gratifyingly large. Many
of the out-of-town florists who operate
greenhouses in connection with a retail
store and depend on their own houses
for the major proportion of their sup-
plies were sorely disappointed, as the
warm weather the early part of the
week, followed by the cool weather the
latter part, greatly reduced their cuts
and threw them onto the Chicago mar-
ket as buyers. This went to swell the
already heavy shipping demand. The
retail trade, owing to weather condi-
tions, did not come off as handsomely

customers like every shipment.

PEONIES

There is, perhaps, greater difference in the value of Peonies than in any
other flower. Given the right varieties, grown and shipped by men ^ho
know how, there is nothing makes a better show for the money; but if from
men who never learned the "how," Peonies are likely to be absolutely worth-
less by the time the retailer unpacks them.

Our Peonies are RIGHT in every particular— you'll make good money
on* them.

as the wholesale fraternity. The flower
buying public did not bestir itself to
any great extent until the morning of
May 13. For a brief spell the demand
flourished luxuriantly, and then came
the rain. Of course there were inter-
missions in the downpour and of these
the buying public cheerfully took ad-
vantage. Mothers' day was a repeti-
tion of Saturday on an intensified scale.
All of this did not prevent the day
from being a really notable success, but
one cannot help reflecting on the possi-
bilities had it not rained.

Beauties in all lengths cleared dur-
ing tbe week preceding the holiday.
Quality was good, then. This week, as
a result of the weather conditions, qual-
ity leaves much to be desired. White
Killarney has been waiting many long
months for its day, but it came with

Mothers'. The strongest demand was
for short-stemmed White Killarney, and
when these were exhausted the longer
grades were seized upon eagerly. No
one variety of rose, however, could sat-
isfy such a demand as that of last
week, and by May 12 almost every va-
riety was rapidly tending to the short
side of the market.

Carnations, though decidedly scarce,
were not so short as the preceding
weeks had led the trade to expect.
Pickled stock was much in evidence.
The white varieties, it is needless to
say, were out of the question, generally
speaking. In spite of the glamour and
rush of the holiday, sweet peas lost not
one whit of their popularity. In direct
contrast to them, callas dragged their
long lengths into the market, but could
not drag them out. Easter lilies fared

somewhat better. Valley remained
close enough to the short side of the
market to be interesting. There was a
wonderfully good demand for cattleyas,
but there was no supply. Peonies
served in many cases as a life-saver.
The supply, though by no means large,
was sufficient to mark peonies as one
of the features of the market. This
week the greater part of the receipts
are going into, storage. Daisies, daffo-
dils, calendulas, snapdragons, iris and
gladioli found a reasonably good mar-
ket, but were necessarily subordinate
to the standard items. Gardenias sold
well. So' too did pansies. Lilac, both
purple and white, is arriving on the
market in large quantities. As to de-
mand, there is no difficulty in moving
all that reaches the market.

Demand for green goods was in every

The Peony stands shipping well, and lasts after it reaches

The Peony makes the best display for the money, though
not "showy" or "cheap" in appearance.

The Peony is remarkably popular this year.

Express Drivers Strike.

Tuesday morning,- May 16, the busi-
ness of the market was thrown into
confusion by a strike of the drivers
for the express companies. Incoming
stock was delivered, but after that the
wholesalers were left "to their own re-
sources to get shipments to and from
the various depots. Up to the hour of
going to press it has been possible to
handle nearly everything, although an
occasional shipment has missed its train
because of delay in getting through the
picket lines. The strike of course has
added greatly to the wholesalers' trou-
bles and costs, but it has not tied up
business. The dispute seems to be
largely one over the recognition of the
union and promises to be of consider-
able duration. In that event the whole-
salers probably will organize a coopera-
tive cartage service, several meetings
looking to that end already having been
held. As in the case in May eleven
years ago, Fred Lautenschlager proba-
bly will be placed in charge. At that
time the cooperative service was kept
up for weeks at a cost of only 6 cents
per piece handled, which is less than
the express companies' costs in normal
times.

Agemeo Buys Factory.

Negotiations for the purchase of a
manufacturing plant in Cicero have

equipped with machinery and tools and
is exactly suited to the company's pur-
pose. A railroad switch runs into the

May have seen more flowers sold than
in any other week of the year, but it
has become a well recognized fact that,
no matter how strong the demand, there
is a price limit beyond which the buy-
ers will not go. The result is that quo-
tations on low-priced stock are advanc-
ing while those on the best grades are
being shaded to tempt the buyers.

There is no likelihood of a heavy sup-
ply of carnations for Memorial day.
Conditions are such that the only in-
crease over the Mothers' day supply
will be such as brighter and warmer
weather may make. Koses will be in
large supply, offering excellent values,
especially in the longer grades. Sweet
peas are between crops, but these never
are in special request for Memorial day.
There will be plenty of giganteum and
calla lilies, snapdragon, Spanish iris,
cape jasmine, etc.

But the most important flower of the
occasion is the peony. The season seems
to have been exceptionally favorable
for the growers at the south end of the
state and they are sending large quan-
tities of stock that looks good and which
is being put away in the warehouse of
the Western Cold Storage Co., awaiting
the week of special demand. The sea-
son is so backward there will be no

local peonies this Memorial day. The
belief in the market, however, is that
the supply from south of Chicago will
equal all Memorial day demands, with
an unwieldy quantity to be contended
with when the local crops come on.
There is only one concern planning to
carry any in storage beyond June 30.

Various Notes.

The Chicago retail florists did more
to push Mothers' day than ever before,

and consequently had a better trade.
The Fleischman Floral Co. and the
Alpha Floral Co. published especially
strong advertisements in the leading
daily. A majority of the better class
stores put in special Mothers' day win-
dow decorations.

There has been an unusual call for
high class funeral work, three successive
days being marked by the funerals of
leading citizens: Chauncy Blair, of the
Corn Exchange bank; W. A. Gardner,

president of the Northwestern railroad,
and Bryan Lathrop, capitalist. The re-
tailers had difficulty ins getting as many
orchids as they needed.

Discussion of the plan for a flower
show along the lines suggested by O.
J. Friedman, at the May meeting of the
Florists' Club, has brought out the
opinion in influential quarters that it is
too late to start a show for this year,
but several gardeners have started a lot
of plants they may not know what to
do with and some sort of a show may
eventuate.

A new store with splendid opportuni-
ties is that of F. L. Eagleston, 1514
Hyde Park boulevard, near the corner
of Lake Park avenue. The room is
large, well furnished and makes a show
in keeping with the neighborhood,
which is one of family hotels, high
grade apartment buildings and well
kept specialty shops. There is no other
flower store in the vicinity. Mr. Eagles-
ton is a new man in the trade, the
artist of the establishment being Rich-
ard Rolston, formerly of the Fleisch-
man staff.

The big peonies from Evansville be-
gan arriving in considerable quantity
last week, but it was not until after
Mothers' day that there were any to
put away in the cooler, according to
the E. C. Amling Co., at which estab-
lishment the belief is held that the
Memorial day supply will be less than
some people expect, because of the late-
ness of the season.

F. J. Munzing, 6101 Broadway, has
found one truck insufficient for his
needs and May 15 supplemented his
Overland with a light car that he in-
tends to use a year ob two with a tour-
ing body before having a panel body
put on.

The sales at Peter Reinberg's for
the three days before Mothers' day
equaled those of the three days before
Easter, according to Felix Reichling.

The bulbs in the parks, especially at
Garfield, Washington and Lincoln, have
been making a gorgeous show of more
than the usual duration because of fa-
vorable weather conditions.

Mothers' day now is second in im-
portance on the trade calendar, accord-
ing to N. J. Wietor, who says his firm's
sales last week exceeded those for Eas-

developed enough new business to keep
everybody busy.

cerns, including several in the trade,
now is taken care of.

firm did a most satisfactory business
Mothers' day, working from early morn-
ing until late at night.

PHIIiADELPHIA.

The Market.

Mothers' day was the feature of the
market for the week ending May 17.
The supply of carnations was heavy
and the demand fully kept pace with
the supply. White carnations were
drawn in from all points within reach.
Their price advanced to $5, $6 and $8
per hundred, with some Matchless at
$10 and some poor flowers at $3 to $4.
Colored carnations advanced to $4 per
hundred for the best. The wholesalers
were generally satisfied to move their
colored sorts with the whites. It was
noticed that the larger stores both in
and out of town bought white carna-
tions more gingerly ttan the smaller
stores, while the street men bought
freely of all. Those street men, with
cases that approach the dignity of a
small store, bought the finest white car-
nations in quantities, at top prices.
The local press, forgetting that the
price of fiowers is ruled by supply and
demand, devoted space to scathing ar-
ticles and even editorials on the greed
of the middlemen. This was most un-
just.

The demand for white carnations had
an inspiriting effect on other flowers,
particularly roses. The wholesalers
varied in their opinions as to whether
these other flowers were used for hon-
oring our mothers. Some said they
were; some said they were not. Any-
way, they all agreed that Mothers' day
was generally observed and that the
whole market was much, very much,
better than the week before. Easter
lilies, calla lilies and white daisies were

wallflowers — nobody wanted them.
There is good outdoor valley, but even
at the low price it is passed by when
greenhouse-grown spikes can be ob-
tained.

Peonies are coming in more freely
from the south. While good, they are
not so satisfactory as locally grown
stock when keeping qualities are a fac-
tor. There is a lot of gladioli in the
market, fine greenhouse-grown northern
and outdoor-grown southern. Spanish

iris, blue, yellow and white, is popular.
Sweet peas have been damaged by the
heat of a week ago; there are some fine
flowers and more are promised soon.
Beauties are quite abundant. Cattleya
gigas is coming into bloom. Darwin
tulips are good. Daffodils are nearly
over. The lilac season is waning. There
are Peach Blossom baby gladioli to be
had.

this busy season, jiermits our seeing
what others are dorhg in the middle
of May, that a description of what is
going on in the. packing shed at the
H. A. Dreer place at Kiverton may be
of interest. Personally, I must confess
it was new. Of course, we all know
that no matter to what our greenhouses
are devoted, they are run at full steam
now, but the extent of the operations
at Biverton was a surprise.

The cement-covered courtyard in
front of the office and packing shed
suggested a great picnic about to start
on an all-day trip. There were cars

packing table. Nearby, other packers
were nailing up the boxes and marking
them ready for shipment, while every
now and then a young man with a box
or two on a truck went rapidly past to
the scales outside, where the shipments
were turned over to the Adams Express
Co. agent, to be weighed and hauled
away. So great was the crush that the
shed beyond the packing room, gener-
ally used as a wagon shed or garage,
was called into service for the overflow
of orders, mostly perennials at the mo-
ment, waiting their turn on the pack-
ing bench. Getting the orders together
was often no small job — many of them
called for one or more of each of a
good many varieties of plants; some-
times a good many varieties of the
same plant. Every plant was carefully
labeled, showing a degree of system
that is admirable and that has done
much to place the business on a sound
footing. J. D. Eisele stopped long
enough to say: "Well, you have seen it
now, and the office is completely filled
with orders yet to go out" — with a
glad hand he was oflf. George A. Stroh-
lein seemed as happy and light-hearted
as though there was nothing on his
mind. He also seemed to be every-
where at once. W. H. Taplin said that,
despite every effort ^rom 7 a. m. to 10
p. m., they were not gaining on the
orders yet, though they soon hoped to
do so. Continuing, Mr. Taplin spoke of
the extraordinary demand for every
kind of plant for use in garden and
border. He said that this demand was
ahead of previous seasons in all varie-
ties of plants, without exception; that
roses were in strong request, due, in
part, to the fine display made at the
National Flower Show, and that palms,
while they were running low, were still
holding out in practically all sizes.

The Market.

As has been the case in previous
years, the florists were early sold out
of white carnations for Mothers' day
and were unable to replenish their
stocks to any great extent. The heavy
demand caused the price on all good
carnations to go to $8 per hundred.
Colored varieties cleaned up well and
the business was declared to be satis-
factory. The shipping trade to the
south was heavy. The weather has been
fairly cool and this made the carna-
tions better this year than usual at
this seasoh.

There was not the glut of flowers last
week that had been present for some
time. Business was good in all items,
although prices were low. An addition
to the market are the peonies that are
beginning to come in from the south,
and these are moving well as a novelty
at from $5 to $10 per hundred. Violets

at wholesale; on the streets they are
oflfered at 10 cents each, three for a
<]uarter, and it is a hard matter for
people who dislike patronizing street
men to jolly themselves into believing
that the opportunity to buy in the
«tores is worth the difference.

There has been some relief from the
tense situation involving the produc-
tion of valley. The shortage of green-
house stock continues, but there has
been a good supply of outdoor stock
and this has been used to fill many or-
ders. Some of it comes with from
twelve to fifteen bells and is as good
as at least the indoor stock produced
from low-grade pips. The one regret is
that the season does not last long and
conditions will shortlyNbe again as they
were.

There are plenty of roses to be had.
The whites were in heavy demand for
Mothers' day, but there were enough
of them to go around. Orchids still are

NEW YORK.

The Market.

The present week opens gloomy, damp
and chill, but with just the kind of
weather the seedsmen and nurserymen
want to prolong their season.

In the' cut flower market there were
no white carnations left Saturday eve-
ning and if Miss Jarvis and her cham-
pions in the trade will get together and
drop the color obstruction everyone will
be the gainer. New York does not en-
thuse over Mothers' day and the
smaller cities absorbed most of the
white carnations, some, it is said, even
realizing $8 per hundred and anything
white, of merit, bringing $5 to $6. The
best of other colors did not sell above
$3 per hundred.

Until Saturday of last week there
was practically no business, so Mothers *
day was at the foundation of a fairly
good week end, but a review of the
market in the evening found an abun-
vdance of nearly everything, with a vir-
jual flood of roses. Prices of roses in
'big lots last week actually dropped to
25 cents per hundred. It is easy to
imagine it was harvest time for the
street merchants and the department
stores. The best Beauties last week
sold at 15 cents. Hadley was down to
12 cents.

Of carnations there is an enormous

Quality is excellent. Outdoor valley is

were never so abundant at this time of

The Market.

Weather conditions made business bet-
ter last week and a large quantity of
outdoor work was accomplished. The
bedding season is well under way and
stock is moving satisfactorily. Eains
and sunshine are bringing things along
in good shape. , . .

The cut flower trade was good last
week and it is thought that business for
Mothers' day was in excess of that of
any previous year. Stock on the whole
was in splendid condition and plentiful.
Roses were exceptionally fine and sold
well. Long-stemmed varieties sold well,
among them being Maryland, d'Aren-
berg. Sunburst, the Killarneys and Rus-
sell. Ward roses were in heavy demand.
Carnations were fine and we received a
good supply. Good calla lilies are on
the market and sell well. Easter lilies
are in fine condition and are used heav-
ily in funeral work.

Valley was exceptionally fine and a
few large weddings last week created
an extra demand for it. Sweet peas are
of good quality and the Spencer varie-
ties are splendid; they sell well. Some
good lavender pink and white stocks are
arriving. Jonquils are holding on well
and sell well. Orchids sold nicely dur-
ing the week end. Yellow and white
daisies move freely. Greens are plenti-
ful and meet all demands. Potted plants,
ferns and palms sold freely during the
week.

Various Notes.

The monthly meeting of the Rochester
Florists' Association was held at the
Musicians' hall, Monday, May 8. The
principal speaker was Lewis A. Toan,
manager of the Monroe "County Farm
Bureau, who gave an interesting talk
on * ' The Farm Bureau and the Farmer. * '
It was decided to postpone the discas-
sion regarding a fiUl flower show until
the June meeting. Frank Newell ex-
tended an invitation to the florists to
visit his studio on East avenue to view
paintings of English and American gar-
dens, by Wyatt. The invitation was ac-
cepted and many promised to attend.

business good.

The Aster Candy and Flower Store
had a pretty window display last week.
It consisted of baskets of sweet peas
and yellow jonquils suspended from the
ceiling by ribbons. There was a mass
of roses and carnations in the back-
ground.

Max Lehmann now is in the employ
of H. P. Neun, at the North street store.

Visitors last week were Julius Berg,
of Lion & Co., New York; Robert
Shoch, of the M. Rice Co., Philadel-
phia; Milton Selinka, of Schloss Bros.,
New York. The travelers said that busi-
ness is good.

George B. Hart has been away on a
fshing trip. There are stories of some
good catches.

J. B. Keller Sons had an exceptionally
fine window display of American Beauty
rosfcs during the week.

Mrs. McNeil, of Wilson's, is away
from the store for a week or two on
account of an accident that befell her
mother.

The Rochester Floral Co. had an at-
tractive window arrangement for Moth-
ers' day — "Flowers to Everywhere,"
by telegraph. There was a large map of
the U. S., with white ribbons connecting
the principal cities with Rochester. A
number of Western Union telegraph
forms for Mothers' day were used
alongside the ad.

Crosman's Seed Store is a busy place
these days. The new location is diagon-
ally across from the former store. They
are doing a fair business in bedding

OMAHA, NEB.

In a hard-fought and closely con-
tested bowling match the Omaha boys
went down to defeat at the hands of
the Council Bluffs boys, but at that it
was only to the tune of thirty-five pins.
The principal reason for the victory by
Council Bluffs was the heavy bowling
of Gardner and Myers and the poor
showing of Hines for Omfaha.

The score was:

The Market.

Trade was somewhat quiet the greater
part of last week. Stock arrived in
great quantities daily, but no clearances
were reported. Saturday, May 13, there
was a big demand for carnations and
prices on these averaged about $4 per
hundred. Extra fancy white, in some
cases, brought $8 per hundred, but these
were scarce, while colored stock was
plentiful at all times. Boses were abun-
dant and prices went low on left-over
stock. The fresh-picked stock held high
prices. Bussell, Ward and Ophelia were
the best sellers in this market. Sweet
peas were hard to move all week and
the counters at the wholesale houses
were filled to overflowing with these.
Peonies are arriving and promise to be
heavy in supply. Shipments of Texas
cape jasmines will help to crowd an al-
ready crowded market.

Lilies do not seem to move at all and
prices on these are as low as $3 per
hundred for extra good stock. Outdoor
valley affected the sale of greenhouse-
grown stock to a certain extent. Gladi-
oli dropped down in price; $5 and $6
per hundred is now being asked for ex-
cellent stock. A heavy crop of gladioli
is promised by the county growers.
White and yellow daisies and snapdrag-
ons in all colors are plentiful. Fancy
ferns are not of the best quality at $3
per thousand. The market affords
plenty of other greens at regular prices.

Club Meeting.

The St. Louis Florists' Club held its
monthly meeting May 11, in Odd Fel-
lows' hall. Owing to the busy plant-
ing season, the meeting was not well
attended. In the absence of President
Bourdet, Vice-president W. 8. Wells
presided.

W. W. Ohlweiler, chairman of the
trustees, reported that the meetings of
June, July, August and September
would be held outdoors and that invi-

tations from members would be ac-

vitation to the members to hold the
June meeting at his place in Kirkwood.
The invitation was accepted with
thanks. Mr. Ohlweiler also reported
for the spring flower show committee.
The applications of Oscar Ruff, J. Man-
deville, Alex Lorie, George Schmidt
and Martin Lechner were reported fa-
vorably and their election to member-
ship followed.

John 8. Carter brought up for discus-
sion the creation of an associate mem-
bership. After a lengthy discussion
the chair appointed a committee of
three, Messrs. Carter, Jensen and Ohl-
weiler, to report^at the next meeting on
this subject.

Alex Lorie, of the Missouri Botanical
Garden, gave an interesting lecture on
"The Development of the Carnation."

He used a number of blooms of recent
varieties to demonstrate. The mention-
ing of some of the old varieties, such as
McGraw, Lizzie McQowan, Grace "Wil-
der, "William Scott and Portia, brought
smiles from the old-timers who worked
with these good old varieties years ago.
Mr. Lorie was given a vote of thanks.
The question 'box brought out some
good discussions. The trustees were
given full power to arrange the club's
annual picnic, to take place the latter
part of July. The usual $50 for ex-
penses was allowed. The next meeting
of the club will be its thirtieth anni-
versary, as it was June 28, 1886, that
the club held its first meeting.
Various Notes.

The wholesalers furnished display
cards for Mothers' day to the retailers
free of charge. Several thousands were
distributed among the retailers and
large business houses, which greatly
helped in getting the business.

L. P. Jensen and Dr. J. H. "Whitten
were the judges at the spring flower
show held at Columbia, Mo., May 5.
Mr. Jensen says the show was nicely
staged and many novelties shown. The
attendance was quite large.

The students of the Missouri Botan-
ical Garden, under the directorship of
Alex liorie, recently visited the green-
houfle establishment of "W. J. Pilcher, at
Kirkwood. The next visit vnll be to
J. F. Ammann's place at Edwardsvllle,

Jules Bourdet May 9 and made reports
of the workings of their committees.
The preliminary list will be mailed the
latter part of June.

William C. Smith is some worker. He
built a bridge in less than two hours
over a stream near his farm in St. Louis
county. This week he is directing the
building of a concrete dam near this
bridge.

All the hard work fell on the shoul-
ders of Frank Windier, of Windier 's
Wholesale Floral Co., last week. He
had plenty of it, as A. Gumz took things
easy doing jury duty, which he claims
is harder work than waiting on the
trade.

J. J. Karins, representing Henry A.
Dreer, Philadelphia, spent a few days
here last week. He is always a wel-
come visitor right after Easter, when
the leading west end establishments are
in need of stock for their show houses.

W. W. Ohlweiler, general manager of
the Missouri Botanical Garden, now
makes his rounds on a bicycle and in
this way covers the ground in a great
deal less time than formerly.
_ Fred C. Weber has had a busy time
since Easter with decorations. A num-
ber of fine window boxes were noted
here ready for delivery to special cus-
tomers. Mothers' day business was ex-
ceptionally good.

C. C. Sanders, head of the Sanders
Nursery Co., on Clara avenue, was head
and shoulders in work with plants for
bedding out. Several wagon loads of
window boxes kept the enlarged deliv-
ery force busy all week. The cut flower

department was busy with advance or-,
ders.

Fred H. Weber had a number of good
sized wedding decorations last week
that kept the force busy. Mr. Weber's
show house faces fashionable Maryland
avenue and always attracts a great deal
of attention.

W. S. Wells, chairman of the commit-
tee to organize a state florists' associa-
tion, says he has arranged for a meeting
at Columbia, Mo., the latter part of this
month and expects a good-sized repre-
sentation from St. Louis.

Joseph Krug, the oldest florist in
Alton, 111., died May 9 at the age of 80
years. The funeral took place May 11
from his home in Alton. Mr. Krug was
well known in the wholesale district.

Mr. and Mrs. Fred C. Weber, Jr., re-
ceived the sympathies of their friends
on the death of Julius Beyer, father of
Mrs. Weber, who died May 9 after a
lingering illness.

E. Kalisch, of the Kalisch Bros. Flo-
ral Co., is making preparations for an
early summer fishing trip and can hard-
ly wait for the season to end. Alex
Siegel is another in the trade who will
take his usual northern fishing trip at
the end of June.

John Connon, head of the Connon Flo-
ral Co., at Webster Groves, -will leave
for his yearly visit to Twin Falls,
Idaho, at the end of the season. He
has a clover seed farm at Twin Falls,
of which he is quite proud.

W. A. Rowe reports a visit from the
stork May 10. Mr. Rowe installed a
new delivery car. His business and the
duties of alderman keep him busy early
and late.

Wiliiam A. Seeger, head of the Mul-
lanphy Florists, says he will return with
Mrs. Seeger from a several months'
stay in Florida, where he went for his
health. He is greatly improved.

Ernest Strehle, superintendent of
parks, says the local parks will need
twice the quantity of bedding stock
used last year. They are rushing the
work. J. Moriz, head of the big green-
houses in Forest park, is furnishing"
ample stock of fine quality.

Windier Schoenle, Bergstermann, Eg-
geling and Beyer, all South Grand ave-
nue florists, report a satisfactory Moth-
ers' day business. Carnations had the
call. Other stock, too, came in for
some demand.

A heavy rain, hail and wind storm
swept our city May 13 and played
havoc with the greenhouses in the
southern part of the city. The loss of
glass will run into the thousands of
dollars. The greatest loss fell to the

Bourdet Floral Co. and the Missouri
Botanical Garden escaped, as the heavy
l)art of the storm did not reach any
farther north than Arsenal street. The
heavy wind did a lot of damage to
trees and flower beds. The heavy losers
say the storm came so suddenly that it
was impossible to guard against the
damage. All are now busy figuring the
losses, as nearly all carried insurance
in the Florists' Hail Association. B.

BOSTON.

The Market.

After several days of poor business
a welcome, if temporary, improvement
manifested itself May 12 and 13, the
demand for Mothers' day being ac-
countable for a sharp stiffening in car-
nation prices and a little, advance in
medium and shoi^t-stemmed roses. White
carnations made $5 and $6 per hundred
and colored varieties $3 and $4. There
was no special jump in rose prices, but
the clean-up was much better. Other
flowers, such as sweet peas, marguerites,
snapdragons, irises, etc., made no ad-
vance.

Roses this week are in heavy supply,
with prices unstable. American Beau-
ties are abundant, but the demand for
them is only moderate; from $10 to $20
is as much as the best grades are bring-
ing. Hybrid teas are selling from 50
cents to $8 per hundred, a small num-
ber only reaching the higher figure.
Carnations^ which had a temporary
boom for Mothers' day, harve declined
sharply and are now cheap. I have
never seen flowers of better quality at
this season. Sweet peas iare seen in
great numbers and prices continue low.
Yellow marguerites are in the same po-
sition. Snapdragons are not . in good
demand, excepting pink. Tulips and
narcissi are now grown outdoors; the
season for them will soon end. Lilies
and callas are still glutty. Mignonette
is practically unsalable. Pansiea are
cheap. Of Spanish iris there is a heavy
supply. Gladiolus nanus finds a fair
sale so far, as does the larger-flowered
America.

tleyas have been selling exceptionally
well. Asparagus meets vvith a good de-
mand and all growers of bedding plants
are on the jump.

Club Field Day.

The field day of the Gardeners' and
Florists' Club at the estate of General
S. M. Weld, at Dedham, May 15, was a
great success, there being an attendance
of more than 100. The special feature
here at present is the rock garden, un-
questionably one of the finest of its
kind in America. A rocky stream, open-
ing out here and there into pools and
spanned by rustic bridges, well pro-
tected and adequately shaded by trees,
makes an ideal spot for the culture of
great numbers of rock and alpine plants,
and at the present time the showing of
aubrietias, alyssums, primulas, violas,
arabis, gentianas, silenes and a host of
other beautiful spring plants, all taste-
fully planted, is most attractive.

There are other features of interest
here, such as splendid specimen rhodo-
dendrons and standard wistarias, and
many fine outdoor specimens of trees,
shrubs and bulbous plants. A lunch
was served by General and Mrs. Weld
and short speeches were made, thank-
ing them for their hospitality and the
pleasure and profit derived from an in-
spection of their estate, which Thomas
Coles, the superintendent, has in splen-
did shape.

Club Meeting.

The meeting of the Gardeners' and
Florists' Club, May 16, the day follow-
ing the club's field day at the estate of
General S. M. Weld, at Dedham, was
well attended, there being about 100
present. A report was made of the
field day and Thomas Coles, gardener
to General Weld, was given a vote of
thanks, as well as a cultural report of
superior merit for his work in creating
what is undoubtedly the finest rock gar-
den in the country. As scheduled, Mr.
Coles gave a splendid practical lecture
on rock gardening, which was followed
by a lengthy, animated discussion. The
interest in the subject of the evening
was unusually keen.

The exhibits included Statice Suwo-
rowi and Begonia knowsleyana, by
Thomas Coles, who was given a report
of merit for each. Eobert Cameron, of
Cambridge, received a report of merit
for an exhibit of Fritillaria rubra
maxima. W. N. Craig had a collection
of hardy primulas and aubrietias.

The club voted a message of good
cheer sent to Jackson Dawson, who is
seriously ill. Three new names were
added to the roster.

Various Notes.

Mothers' day brought a larger de-
mand for flowers in Boston than in pre-
rious years, but it was noted that few

people were wearing flowers. It is
something of a rarity now to see any-
one wearing flowers. One or two flo-
rists, one especially, advertised heavily,
and a cooperative advertisement ap-
peared in one of the Boston dailies, the
money for this being collected by
a representative of the paper and not
by the growers, retailers and whole-
salers themselves, as had better been
the case. With one or two notable ex-
ceptions, all the mention of Mothers'
day to be seen in the stores consisted
of a cheaply printed poster pasted in
the windows, which would hardly at-
tract business.

The May flower show of the Massa-
chusetts Horticultural Society attracted
a fair number of visitors from a dis-
tance, but the season was too strenuous
a one for many to attend. Now that
the experiment of holding a large May
show has been tried out fairly, the
management responsible for the show
are no doubt convinced that, while the
exhibition was a good one, it was not
superior to the March show, where only
one-third the money was offered in pre-
miums. The general public will not
take the same interest in exhibitions in
a hall when the public gardens, park-
ways, arboretum and private estates
have more attractive open-air displays.

Thomas F. Qalvin did some Mothers'
day advertising and had a good call
for flowers. He made special features
of Beauty rdaeB, Spanish irises and
white carnations.

S. J. Goddard finished planting out
his carnations in the field May 15. He
has purchased another parcel of land
adjoining his carnation field. At the
recent Boston show he exhibited some
fine standard geraniums and fuchsias.

At Penn's the demand for Mothers'

day was exceptionally heavy. The
newspaper and attractive window ad-
vertising combined to boom sales re-
markably. Their silver medal exhibit
at Horticultural hall was the best of its
kind I have seen there. Other retail-
ers, I hope, will follow this example at
other big succeeding shows.

Henry M. Robinson & Co. report a
strong call for all colors of carnations
and a fairly good call for roses for
Mothers' day. Other flowers were not
in special demand. This concern is
making great preparations for Memo-
rial day, which they expect will be a
banner one for flower sales.

Yellow marguerites are seen in great
numbers now in the Boston markets.
Specialh' fine shipments are coming
from James Wheeler, Natick; G. W.
Simpson, Woburn, and William R. Nich-
olson, Framingham.
. The Welch Bros. Co. states that Moth-
ers' day gave a decided fillip to cut
flower, business and helped to clean up
stock nicely.

Business at the seed stores is now
slackening, but everyone had a strenu-
ous time for some weeks. Local nur-
series all had far more business than
usual, but the scarcity of labor, added
to freight embargoes on the railroads,
made it hard to deliver orders. Quite
a number of orders have been canceled
for landscape work, owing to the high
cost of labor.

May 14 was tulip day in the Boston
public gardens, the beds being at their
best. Specially fine were Pink Beauty,
Proserpine, Duchess of Parma, Couleur
Cardinal, White Joost van Vondel,
Chrysolora and Keizerskroon.

main classes in these exhibitions will
be for tulips and roses, as the case may
be, there also will be classes provided
for other seasonable flowers, plants and
vegetables.

Secretary Gibson read a large num-
ber of letters which he had received,
offering prizes for our autumn exhibi-
tions. The essay, "Horticulture as a
Profession, From the Standpoint of a
Gardener," by John Johnson, from the
National Association of Gardeners, was
well received by the members.

The judges of the exhibits for the
evening wero Henry Gaut, James Glad-
stone and Harry Goodband, who turned
in the following report: Gladioli, John
W. Everitt, first; cauliflower, Eobert
Jones, first; pansies, Thomas Twigg,
first; roses, honorable mention to John
W. Everitt. Frank Dinda, of Farming-
dale, exhibited cut flowers and plants
of his novelty chrysanthemums, Alex
Guttman and Emma, for which he was
given the thanks of the society.

James McCarthy, Cor. See'y.

DAYTON, O.

Mothers' day business in Dayton and
vicinity broke all records for that day
since its inception, carnations, of
course, being the favorites. These soon
disappeared and flowers of all kinds
were used. Many potted plants also
found a lively sale. The florists all re-
port a clean-up of everything salable
early in the day.

The demand for bedding plants has
commenced in earnest. The season
promises to be the largest this city has
ever had. Good geraniums are not any
too plentiful here; many inferior ones
are seen in the market. G. W. B.

Germain Seed 8t Plant Ce.

fe°l Ajl^tn^?- B J M' L. Germain. Pres.

reb. 25. 191C. ;

Auburn, Wash. — 'Eobert Filby, for-
merly grower for Hopkins Bros., has
been succeeded by Koy E. Erb, who
until recently was propagator for Mrs.
L. W. McCoy.

Seabright, Cal. — W. E. Woodard is a
newcomer in the freesia bulb business.
He is preparing to market his first com-
mercial crop, with the intention of go-
ing in more extensively next year and
of adding gladioli and other bulbs to
his list.

Los Angeles, Cal, — Announcement is
made of the marriag«^ of Hilda Alice
Richards and Clarence Vandeburg, at
Montebello, May H. The bride is the
daughter of H. E. Eicharda, of the Ger-
main Seed & Plant Co., who has many
friends in the trade in the east as well
as on the coast. Mr. Vandeburg is a
rancher at PuUerton, where the couple
will reside after a honeymoon in the
mountains.

A SELECTION OF VARIETIES.

If you were planting 300 or 400
chrysanthemums, what varieties would
you use so as to cover the full season?

C. F. B.— Wash.

I would suggest the following varie-
ties: White — Smith's Advance, Early
Frost, Mrs. Eager, Wm. Turner, iLynn-
wood Hall and White Dean. Yellow —
Comoleta, Chrysolora, Eobt. Halliday,
Lena Baum, Nagoya and Dolly Dimple.
Pink — Unaka, Chieftain and Maud
Dean. These will follow each other in
the order named and will cover the
season. A. F. J. B.

A. V. AMET'S HEART.

Nowadays the clever designer in pre-
paring a piece for any occasion tries
to have, if possible, some sort of motif
or idea embodied in his design that will
harmonize with the circumstances of
the occasion. This rather abstract
phase of the designer's art is clearly
typified in the design pictured in the
accompanying illustration, which shows
a heart-shaped piece made entirely of
wild flowers and shrubbery picked from
the hills around Santa Monica bay, in
California. The piece was one of the
floral tributes at the funeral of Judge
J. J. Carrillo, who was the first mayor
of Santa Monica. The deceased was a
native of California and the idea was
to produce a funeral piece that would
be truly representative of the Cali-
fornia outdoors near the late judge's
home. With this end in view, wild
flowers and shrubbery were gathered
from the country around Santa Monica,
and A. V. Amet, of Venice, Cal., made
from the material the heart-shaped de-
sign snown in the illustration. The
piece was 4x4*^ feet. The inner heart

was formed of bicolor lupines, blue, with
gray tips, and the outer whorl con-
sisted of Indian paint brush (painted
cup, or castilleja?) The top of the heart
carried native maidenhair and bro-
dotias, and even the moss about the
frame was from the Santa Monica re-
gion. The piece undoubtedly was strik-
ingly appropriate as a floral tribute to
a well-known and much respected Cali-
fornian. Perhaps the only thing it
needed was better arcs at the top, in
order to conform more accurately with

the lines of the proverbial St. Valen-
tine's heart.

the week was the sweet pea, some splen-
did flowers having been on the mar-
ket. Gladioli are increasing in quan-
tity and improving in quality. Herba-
ceous and hardy stock generally is in
good supply. Eoses are poor in quality,
extremely poor, in fact, for the season,
and the price is down. A large quan-
tity of outdoor stock was on the mar-
ket and really was better than stock
grown indoors. Carnations are of fair
quality but not first-class, and there are
enough of them to go around. In the
retail stores funeral work has been the
principal outlet for flowers and energy,
some good work having materialized. A
few weddings also have helped out. The
greens situation is clearing a little, but
there does not seem to be any great
supply in sight.

Various Notes.

George W. Eischeu was a visitor last
week, looking up stock for his new
store at Ocean Park. Mr. Eischen is
well pleased with the business already
done and says it is keeping up remark-
ably well.

George W. Smith has made many im-
provements in his store at Seventh and
.Figueroa streets. The new nursery at
Beverley Hills is taking shape, a fine
new lath house having been completed.
The Wall street place is gradually be-
ing cleared out and the stock is being
removed to the new location as fast as
possible.

There is a good deal of local interest
in a new rose called Los Angeles. It is
being sent out by Howard & Smith. It
is one of a number of seedlings grown
at the nurseries of this firm, not unlike
Willowmere in general appearance. It
attracted attention at a flower show
held at the Ninth and Olive streets
store, which, by the way, is one of a
series of clever advertising stunts ar-
ranged by Fred Howard. "Vyhile no
doubt they get the principal advantage
of this advertisings it is a good thing
for the trade all around, as it engenders
an interest in floriculture generally, the
value of which can hardly be overesti-
mated.

Murata & Co. have been shipping an
exceptionally fine line of America gladi-
oli and other popular varieties. They
report business fine for this season.

The California Cut Flower & Ever-
green Co. will be well supplied for Me-
morial day business. The Mrs. Francis
King gladioli offered here are of excep-
tional merit.

Everyone who knew him heard with
regret of the death of L. H. Fellows,

Show in Philadelphia and in New York, the Gold Medal of Honor at San Fran-
cisco, the Gold Medal in San Diego World's Fair.

lately of Fullerton, but more recently
of Tucson, Ariz., where he had gone to
try to regain his health. Mr. Fellows
came here from the east many years
ago and invested in land, as well as
running a nursery and florists' busi-
ness. He was for a time connected with
the L. A. Floral Co. A genial, com-
panionable man, well versed in horti-
culture and kindred topics, he will be
missed by the many friends he made
while here. His wife survives. The
remains were brought from Tucson to
Fullerton for interment.

Fine business for the season is the
report of the Los Angeles Floral Co.
The excellent system of packing and
icing followed here and the careful tim-
ing of shipments to meet trains make
the long-distance work successful,

H. W. Turner has put a new, hand-
some delivery car on the road. The
color is the same as that of the rest
of the equipment and the only decora-
tion is his trade-mark, as used in his
advertising.

The Radiance rose has proved a mag-
nificent outdoor variety in the nur-

A. V. AMET'S HEART.

Nowadays the clever designer in pre-
paring a piece for any occasion tries
to have, if possible, some sort of motif
or idea embodied in his design that will
harmonize with the circumstances of
the occasion. This rather abstract
phase of the designer's art is clearly
typified in the design pictured in the
accompanying illustration, which shows
a heart-shaped piece made entirely of
wild flowers and shrubbery picked from
the hills around Santa Monica bay, in
California. The piece was one of the
floral tributes at the funeral of .Judge
J. J. Carrillo, who was the first mayor
of Santa Monica. The deceased was a
native of California and the idea w^as
to produce a funeral piece that would
bo truly representative of the Cali-
fornia outdoors near the late judge's
home. With this end in view, wild
flowers and shrubbery were gathered
from the country around Santa Monica,
and A. V. Amet, of Venice, Cal., made
from the material the heart-shaped de-
sign shown in the illustration. The
piece Avas 4x4i{. feet. The inner heart

Heart Design of Indigenous Material for a Native Californian.

was formed of bicolor lupines, blue, with
gray tips, and the outer whorl cou-
sisted of Indian paint brush (painted
cup, or castilleja?) The top of the heart
carried native maidenhair and bro-
dotias, and even the moss about the
frame was from the Santa Monica re-
gion. The piece undoubtedly was strik-
ingly appropriate as a floral tribute to
a well-known and much respected Cali-
fornian. Perhaps the only thing it
needed was better arcs at the top, in
order to conform more accurately with

the lines of the proverbial St. Valen-
tine 's heart.

the week was the sweet pea, some splen-
did flowers having been on the mar-
ket. Gladioli are increasing in quan-
tity and improving in quality. Herba-
ceous and hardy stock generally is in
good supply. Koses are poor in quality,
extremely poor, in fact, for tlie season,
and the price is down. A large quan-
tity of outdoor stock was on the mar-
ket and really was better tlian stock
grown indoors. Carnations are of fair
quality but not first-class, and there are
enough of them to go around. In the
retail stores funeral work lias been the
principal outlet for flowers and energy,
some good work liaving materialized. A
few weddings also have helped out. The
greens situation is clearing a little, but
there does not seem to be any great
supply in sight.

Various Notes.

George W. Eisclien was a visitor last
week, looking up stock for his new
store at Ocean I'ark. Mr. Eischen is
well i)leased with the business already
done and says it is keeping up reinark-
ablj' well.

George W. Smith lias made many im-
provements in his store at Seventh and
.Figueroa streets. The new nursery at
Beverley Hills is taking shape, a fine
new lath house having been completed.
The Wall street place is gradually be-
ing cleared out and the stock is being
removed to the new location as fast as
possible.

There is a good deal of local interest
in a new rose called Los Angeles. It is
being sent out by Howard & Smith. It
is one of a number of seedlings grown
at the nurseries of this firm, not unlike
Willowmere in general appearance. It
attracted attention at a flower show
held at the Ninth and Olive streets
store, which, by the way, is one of a
series of clever advertising stunts ar-
ranged by Fred Howard. \yhiie no
doubt they get the i)rincipal advantage
of this advertising,, it is a good thing
for the trade all around, as it engenders
an interest in floriculture generally, the
value of which can hardly be overesti-
mated.

Murata & Co. have been ship2:)ing an
exceptionally fine line of America gladi-
oli and other popular varieties. They
rejtort business fine for this season.

The California Cut Flower & Ever-
green Co. will be well supplied for Me-
morial day business. The Mrs. Francis
King gladioli offered here are of excep-
tional merit.

Fine business for the season is the

The excellent system of packing and

cool days held back certain varieties
and a more active demand caused the
supplies to clean up fairly well. Many
"white flowers were held in reserve for
Mothers' day, although an effort was
made by the local florists to get awa^*
from any particular flower or color as
emblematic of that day. Ample stock
is in sight for Decoration day and the
local trade is looking forward to a rec-
ord business.

Little change has taken place in the
offerings. Boses are a drug on the mar-
ket, but the cut shows signs of a slack-
ening during the next week or two. As
it is, really fine roses of some of the
newer varieties are rather scarce.
American Beauties are holding their
own with remarkable persistency. Eus-
sell, Hadley, Ophelia and Hoosier Beau-
ty are all popular. Many Ulrich Brun-
ner roses are being used, but the Killar-
neys are not so popular as formerly.
The supply of carnations is holding up
well and prices remain fairly steady.
White carnations were a little scarce
for several days and everything cleaned
up well. A few dahlias are coming in,
but the limited supply and rather poor
quality keep them from being a fea-
ture in the market.

The America gladiolus is being re-
ceived and the supply is readily ab-
sorbed, while many small gladioli are
being shipped. Sweet peas are plenti-
ful and the demand is large enough to
leave no ground for complaint. Many
good peonies still appear, but the crop
is about over, after being in great fa-
vor for some time. There is plenty of
miscellaneous stock, such as gypsophilas,
cornflowers, mignonette, marigolds,
stocks, statice, sweet williams, etc.
Many fine lilies still are to be had. Span-
ish iris is going off crop. A nice cut
of gardenias is coming in, but the de-
mand is rather light. Potted stock
moves fairly well and the offerings are
not excessive by any means. They in-
clude a few rhododendrons, some fine
French hydrangeas, a few rambler roses,
primulas, etc.

invited the members of the society to
hold a field day any time, probably in
September, at the Garden City Pottery
Co. place at San Jose. A committee,
consisting of H. Plath and A. J. Bossi,
was appointed to confer with exposi-
tion officials about awards for exhibits,
which have not been received by cer-
tain members. An invitation was ex-
tended to the members by the E. Gill
Nursery Co., of West Berkeley, to at-
tend its annual spring rose show.

Plans for the fall flower show came
up for discussion and H. Plath and E.
James reported that they had drawn up
a provisional prize list, the schedule be-
ing the same as that of last year. The
committee hopes to get the use of the
Civic Auditorium free. Much interest
is shown in the show and it promises
to be one of the best ever arranged by
the society. Announcement was made
that the sweet pea show next month
will be held in the Palace hotel.

The question box provided food for
some interesting discussions at the close
of the business session. The evening's
exhibits made a good showing. The
MacEorie-McLaren Co. received ninety-
five points for some sprigs of Leptosper-
mum NichoUii, an Australian shrub,
which does well in California. A pot
of French hydrangeas, by H. Plath, took
ninety points, and a showing of several
varieties of snapdragons, by J. A. Shil-
ling; of San MateO; took eighty-five
points.

The Market.

An unusually late season has been
further retarded by a series of cold
rains, with several frosts — a condition
that prevailed nearly all of last week.
Serious damage was done to fruits, bed-
ding stock and early garden truck. The
florists' rule that May 1 is the proper
date to put out porch decorations and
beds did not prove a safe one this year.
The weather held back the cut of carna-
tions so that the shortage for Mothers'
day was unusually acute. The cut of
roses continued fairly heavy and the
blooms were of prime quality.

Business for the week was good, tak-
ing all the stock offered. Outdoor flow-
ers were more plentiful. Nurserymen
who have had time to glance back at
the results of the season's business ex-
press themselves as well satisfied. Col-
lections, perhaps, are coming in better
than last year. This is the last season
that long-time extensions of credit will
be generally permitted, as the new rules
of the national association will be put
into effect.

Various Notes.

potted schizanthus last week.

J. G. Kelly, of- the Kelly Homestead
Nursery, has been serving on the jury
panel of the Circuit court for several

Fourth and Main streets, the former lo-
cation of the Epperson Nursery Co.

Mrs. Rahn, the wife of Albert Rahn,
of the Rahn & Herbert Co., has been

one of the hospitals.

J. A. Wilson, of the Wilson, Crout &
Gehr Co., was hurriedly called to the
telephone a few days ago by Fred
Brotje, the driver of his delivery car,
who had taken a load of stock to town.
Fred reported that he had met with an
accident and could not get back as soon
as he expected. Mr. Wilson anxiously
inquired: "Where are you now? What
has happened?" "I am at the minis-
ter's and have just got married," was
the reply. It was the most surprising
' * accident ' ' Mr. Wilson ever heard of.
Fred is a nephew of Julius Brotje and
has the good wishes of his many friends.

The Market.

Mothers' day business was good.
Carnations were the greatest in de-
mand, roses next and plants third. The
bedding season is here and all the flo-
rists are extremely busy. Baskets and
boxes are being filled in large numbers.
Peonies have appeared in the market
and indications are for a large crop of
them for Decoration day.

Various Notes.

Julius Niednagel & Sons cut about
10,000 carnations for Mothers' day and
sold all of them; in fact, they had to
turn down orders. Business is good
in plants.

C. li. Niednagel is cutting roses of
fine quality.

Royston & Fenton report a lively
demand for coleus.

YOU CANNOT AFFORD TO BE WITHOUT THESE

Little Wonder Plant Irrigators

They are selling by the thousand— why not get
your share of this profit?

Order a hundred, put your plants on them and
see how fast they sell. We sold a hundred in
our own store in a week. Ninety per cent of
your customers are glad to pay the extra 25c
and get the plant irrigator with the plant.
They help sell your plants, because people
will buy more plants when they are so easy
to care for.

The latest reports from Ollioules in-
dicate that crops of merchantable bulbs
will be short.

The supply of lily of the valley pips
in good condition is so small and in so
few hands that prices are likely to ad-
vance steadily.

The bulbs in the open appear to have

bloomed as well as ever, in spite of the.

fact that bulb forcers complained of
much blind stock.

EousTAN, Servan & Cc, St. Remy,
France, one of the ten seed firms ac-
cused of enemy trading, have been ac-
quitted of the charge.

CATALOQUBe of Holland bulbs recently
received shoVmany price corrections with
pen and ink, all of them advances. The
increases on narcissi are especially nu-
merous.

Packers of peas in Utah, a compara-
tively new district for the packing of
peas on a large scale, are said recently
to have cleaned up a surplus of about
125,000 cases.

Business is good for May,- but never-
theless it is the fag end of a season
fraught with an unusual number of dif-
ficulties and not up to general expecta-
tions in the total sales.

The Albert Dickinson Ck)., Chicago, is
one of the claimants to the right of way
of the disused Illinois and Michigan
canal, on both banks of which the seed
concern owns property. A section of the
canal is being filled in by interests seek-
ing a test case in the courts.

There is a gradual departure from the
use of the disclaimer, the employment of
which was world-wide a few years ago.
Grass seed is offered from Europe subject
to a guaranteed analysis and now a Dan-
ish firm guarantees that all seeds in its
sealed parcels are true to name.

Ground has been broken for the first
two units of the new plant of Northrup,
King & Co., at Minneapolis. One of the
warehouses is to be 74x302 feet, two
stories and a basement. The main ware-
house will be 100x300 feet, four
stories, of concrete construction. In
addition to these buildings there will be
a cleaning house with grain tanks, a box
factory, a garage and heating plant.

William A. Taylor, chief of rhe Bu-
reau of Plant Industry, U. S. Depart-
ment of Agriculture, Washington, D. C,
states that there is no foundation for
the rumor wh'ich has been current for
some weeks that the government is to
discontinue its bulb-growing experiments
at Bellingham, Wash. Chief Taylor
states: "Local changes of location are
necessary to afford adequate facilities

work is not being considered."

Prices of the bett«r varieties of gladi-
oli are higher in Holland today than they
were before the war. Also, the supply is
smaller.

James Vick's Sons, Kochester, report
a heavy spring business. They are unusu-
ally busy at their wholesale store and are
employing extra help to cope with the in-
creased business. At the Stone street
store they are doing a good retail busi-
ness, both in seeds and plants, moving
large quantities of stock. They have
planned a more extensive acreage this
year at their seed farm at Ogden, N, Y.

PARCEL POST SEEDS RELEASED.

Hearings have been resumed in the
prize court at London, England, in re-
gard to parcel post packages seized by
the British authorities and a decision
was rendered May 8 releasing to Amer-
ican importers represented by A. G.
Hays consignments of garden and
flower seeds tak«n from the Danish
liner United States. The court followed
the recent decision under which it re-
leased gloves for America on the de-
posit of their invoice price pending
final determination of the facts con-
cerning their purchase.

"ROCKY FORD" MELONS.

Muskmelons of the Rocky Ford type,
grown in localities other than Rocky
Ford, Colo., may be labeled "Rocky
Ford," provided the name of the state
or territory where the melons are pro-
duced is stated on the principal label,
according to a recent decision of the
U. S. Bureau of Chemistry. This deci-
sion was reached for the reason that
the term "Rocky Ford," as applied to
muskmelons, has come to mean a par-
ticular type of muskmelon grown in
various localities of the Unite<l States.

MOTT-LY GLEANINGS.

S. M. Isbell & Co., Jackson, Mich.,
are reorganizing their business to
adapt it to the conditions of the period.
A large warehouse will be built ad-
joining the railroad, affording addi-
tional facilities for storage and han-
dling of garden seeds. "We feel the
loss of E. J. Sheap keenly," said Vice-
president E. R. Reithmiller. "He was
a loyal and earnest worker and wo
esteemed him highly."

The Mohrmann Seed Co., of Detroit,
Mich., reports exceptionally good busi-
ness at its two stores. The stores are
handling a full line of hardy roses and
shrubbery, but these require much time,
which is hard to spare during the busy
seed tide.

The Jones Seed Co., of Grand Rapids,
Mich., reports exceptionally good sales
of heavy seeds. The company is for-
tunate in having about 1,000 bushels
of seed corn of the 1914 harvest, which
tests out almost 100 per cent germina-
tion, whereas the crop of 1915 tests out
only about fifty per cent. "We shall
sell all our stock at retail, possibly
around $4 per bushel. Even at $5 per
bushel planters will get a more satis-
factory return, and I shall not be sur-
prised if $5 is not the average price
before the season is over," commented
Manager J. Beach.

George H. Hunkel, of Milwaukee,
said: "Hereafter we will let the other
fellow handle onion sets and let him do
the weeping." It is understood that

IMPROVEMENT

The biggest room in the
world is the room for improve-
ment. All of us know that
whatever our line of business
may be, there is room for im-
provement in it. Satisfaction in
business means business deca-
dence. This is especially true
m the florists' business. There
is more room for improvement
in the flower business than in
any business we know of. There
are many ways to improve the
business. One way is to improve
the quality of flowers sold. This
gives the public a better opinion
of flowers. It pleases them. A
florist in selling flowers must
sell satisfaction with them or he
is scheduled for the greased
chute. He must sell his custo-
mers flowers that are attrac-
tive, refined and that will keep.
One of the best flowers to sell
your customers is white and
pink lilies. They are beautiful,
make a good display, they keep
well and are the acme of refine-
ment. Of course, they must be
good lilies and good plants. If
you are a grower and want such
flowers and plants, get Ward's
lily bulbs by all means. You
can't get better and you might
get worse.

this has been an unprofitable seasoK for
onion sets for both the grower and
seller.

The Currie Bros. Co., of Milwaukee,
was exceedingly busy and expressed the
opinion that tne total business would
show up satisfactorily at the end of the
season. "Who says wax beans are
scarce!" queried James Currie.

The H. W. Buckbee Seed Co., of Eock-
ford, 111., is optimistic, while E. M.
Shumway, who has a large southern
mailing trade and is able to form an
earlier estimate of the total, reports an
advance over previous years.

The Olds Seed Cq.^ of Madison, Wis.,
reports excellent business' from the cata-
logue trade. Counter sales are later
than usual.

Piper Bros., of Madison, handle quan-
tities of seed potatoes, which appear to
be of good quality, considering the wet
fall. The circumstances reminded Henry
Piper of the story of a Mrs. Higgins,
who was always grumbUng. One day a
friend co^gratulated her upon having
the finest crop of potatoes in the village.
The old lady retorted: "They're not so
poor, but where are the bad ones for the
pigs'" W. M.

county, 2,250 cars; (Lower Eio Grande
Valley, 350 cars; Dimmit and Zavalla
counties, 1,550 cars; Lasalle, Frio and
Atascosa counties, 400 cars; and scat-
tering, 100 cars.

March 7 the bureau issued a report
as of March 1 on the Texas onion crop,
estimating the acreage at 10,657 acres,
the condition at 65.6 per cent of a nor-
mal crop, and the yield per acre at 230
bushels, indicating a total yield of
5,328 cars of 460 bushels each, and
stated that a revision would be made
as of April 1. Accordingly, April 4 a
revised report was issued, and it ap-
pearing that the-*ereage in Nueces and
San Patricio counties had been over-
estimated, owing to a lack of informa-
tion as to methods of planting, and that
a reduction of 200 acres seemed advis-
able in Webb county, such reductions
were madQ. The revised acreage was
stated to be 10,057 acres, the condition
fifty-five per cent, a reduction of 10.6
points, forecasting a yield per acre of
192.5 bushels, the equivalent of 4,200
cars of 460 bushels each.

The demand for a further revision
was so persistent that a special onion
condition schedtde was sent into Texas
to be returned April 15, and April 20
a revised condition report was issued,
the condition estimated at fifty-eight
per cent of a normal crop, an increase
of three points over April 1, forecasting
a yield per acre of 203 bushels, the
equivalent of 4,438 cars of 460 bushels
each.

C. R. Burr, manager of the C. R.
Burr & Co. nurseries, Manch^ter, Conn.,
recently found trouble in getting labor-
ers at $2.50 per day, so he consulted with
a state labor commissioner, who discov-
ered that there were idle men at Norwich.
Mr. Burr went to Norwich, engaged
seventeen men and carried them to Man-
chester by automobile. He could not find
a boarding place for the men, so the old
office building was fitted up as a bunk-
house. A cook was hired and the place
became a merry spot. Later Mr. Burr
went to "Waterbury for twenty more men.
When the Burr nurseries need men, they
need them badly.

such goods have been inspected and the

court decided that the information filed
by the government against the defend-
ant, charging that a shipment of unin-
spected "deciduous nursery stock" had
been received for transportation, was
incorrect, it appearing that there were
no quarantine regulations or notice
specifying such stock. The court said:
"The statute itself does not forbid
shipments of 'deciduous nursery stock,'
which is the expression used in the in-
formation. It provides, in substance,
that the Secretary of Agriculture shall
promulgate regulations specifying,
among other things, what classes of
nursery stoc4v are subject to quaran-
tine, and that it shall be illegal for a
common carrier to receive for transpor-
tation ' any class of nursery stock speci-
fied in the notice of quarantine,' ex-
cept such as has been inspected and
certified in the prescribed manner. The
quarantine regulations in question in
this case were issued by the Secretary
of Agriculture June 24, 1913. 'Decidu-
ous nursery stock ' was not specified
therein, nor was the notice sufficiently
broad to cover everything that could
properly be so described." S.

"While I was in Louisiana a constable handed
me a copy of what purported to be a petition and
summons to the Louisiana Court of Common Pleas
at the September term of tlie court. The so-called
petition was amusing and absurd.

years ago I went to Neosho, Mo., and some time
thereafter organized the William P. Stark Nurs-

MEDAL in the same class at ST. LOUIS, 1916; also of Silver Medal of S. A. F. and 0. H., at St. Louis,

strong and stiff. We have never had a burst calyx, all flowers grading firsts; and, best of all, it is a constant

"The relief which is asked in this suit is that
ray son and I be ordered to cease using our names
in the nursery business, and that we be ordered
to cease using the Starlc City address. Stark
City Is a postofflce established by the govern -
ment, fpr which my son and I are not responsible,
except that we have .M)0 acres of nurseries at
that place. Neither did we give ourselves the
names we bear, and we hardly think any court
would require us to change them."

William P. Stark for more than a
third of a century has been prominent-
ly engaged in American horticulture.
He formerly was president of the Amer-
ican Association of Nurserymen.

E. W. Stark, president of the Stark

sued the following statement in reply
to W, P. Stark's rejoinder:

"W. P. stark evades the vital issues of our
bill. We were forced to take this action after
continued infringements and damaging practices
against our business and our reputation. Briefly,
we have entered suit against William P. Stark,
of Neosho, Mo., to restrain him from practicing
methods of unfair competition, deceptive adver-
tising, infringement upon our trademark, 'Stark
Trees,' and asking that he be enjoined from so
doing and a referee be named to assess damages."

only fair. The demand for Mothers'
day was nothing extraordinary. Stock
in general was in good supply and
there was no shortage, even of white
carnations, of which there were enough
to supply all demands and still leave
a few. Prices ranged from $2 to $5
per hundred. The colored varieties sold
at $1.50 to $3 per hundred. Good whites
sold fairly well, but many of inferior
quality remained. Boses have short-
ened in supply and the demand for
them has fallen oflF. Peas are plenti-
ful, and they are moving slowly, even
at reduced prices.

There is quite a surplus of lilies,
both Easter and calla. These have held
on longer than usual this season and
both varieties are hard to move at
any price. Many Darwin and May-
flowering tulips are to be had at prac-
tically the buyers' prices. The market
of this city does not take kindly to
bulbous stock after Easter Sunday and
many florists find it hard to move.
Greens are becoming more plentiful and
prices have receded somewhat.

BUFFALO.

The Market.

Although preparations had started for
Mothers' day a week prior to the event,
there were not nearly enough carna-
tions for the occasion. As oth«r flowers
were substituted, they also cleared read-
ily. Beauties were a little more abun-
dant than in the previous week, but,
although the quality was not extra
good, they sold with no difficulty. Other
varieties of roses also cleared rapidly.
On Saturday night at the wholesalers'
closing time there was little more stock
to be had, with the exception of a few
daisies and some lilies. Carnations, as
was expected, were extremely scarce.
Peonies, however, have returned. Easter
lilies were plentiful and the demand
was rather slow. Callas were not so
abundant and they continued to clear
fairly well. Sweet peas were as popu-
lar as anything for corsages. They, too,
experienced a great demand. Snapdrag-
ons could be had, but were mostly in-
ferior in quality. Daisies were plenti-
ful, but the demand was irregular.
Calendulas, mignonette and myosotis
were available in moderate quantities.
Valley and orchids were on the scarce
side.

Jonquils and daffodils are done for.
The indoor stock is a thing of the past,
while the outdoor output is poor. Good
gardenias are available and the demand
is active. Spanish iris is always in
great demand, but the supply is not
large as yet. Pansies are selling well.
Gladioli are clearing daily. Greens of
all kinds are available, with the excep-
tion of smilax, which has been scarce
for the last three weeks.

"Sold out," was the Mothers' day
plea from the growers to the whole-
salers. Everything went along nicely
as long as the carnations lasted, but
these were sold out early Sunday morn-
ing and then the demand turned to
sweet peas and roses. As the supply of
those was none too large, they also
were sold out soon. The last resort was
gardenias. The price of these was a
trifle more than the average customer
cared to spend, but toward the last
there was no hesitation even about
them. In fact, all kinds of cut flowers

The Market.

Trade last week was fairly active,
with plenty of stock to meet the re-
quirements. Boses and carnations are
plentiful. Snapdragons and sweet peas
are in fair supply and prices are low.

The call for bedding stock is un-
usually large. The downtown stores'
demand for window boxes bids fair to
exhaust the local supply of potted
plants, ferns and vines.

Mothers ' day proved a record
breaker. Not only did white carna-
tions sell well, but the demand for car-
nations of all colors and for roses, as
well as other flowers, was greater than
formerly. Many persons preferred the
flower that individual taste suggested,
which made it easier for the florist and
more satisfactory for the purchaser.

Various Notes.

Mrs. Rose Waltman, of Davenport,
says she made a special effort on boxes
of spring flowers for Mothers' day,
with most satisfactory results.

Miss Tearney, of the Bills Floral
Co., says it was the biggest Mothers'
day they ever had, flowers of all kinds
and colors selling well.

Mrs. Forber, of Forber & Bird,
Davenport, reports a big sale of white
carnations, but found it easy to sell
other colors and other flowers. They
report the demand for window boxes
and bedding stock unusually large.

Henry Pauli, of Davenport, reports
business unusually good and, while

and he could have sold more if he had
had them, the demand for flowers of
other kinds was good. He reports bed-

well but cold, wet weather holding

A number of Davenport churches ob-

Wm. Knees, of Moline, reports
Mothers' day sales as big. White car-

CINCINNATI.

The ISIarket.

Mothers' day business was good. The
heavy demand cleaned up practically
everything in the market at a good
price. The demand from out-of-town
customers was exceptionally large.
Roses and carnations are each in heavy
supply. The Easter lily market is still
rather crowded. Sweet peas are in
good supply and Spanish irises meet
with a good demand. Gladioli are ex-
cellent and are selling wtell, the offer-
ings including both local greenhouse-
grown stock and outdoor cuts from the
south. Other offerings include orchids,
valley, snapdragons and cape jasmines.
Greens are plentiful.

Various Notes.

C. E. Critchell has been getting in
some fine greenhouse-grown gladioli
from William Gardner, of Newcastle,
Ind., and outdoor batches from the
south.

Mr. and Mrs. Fred Bruggemann spent
several days of this week in Cincinnati
and vicinity.

The William Murphy Co. reports that
last week's business was the largest
Mothers' day business it ever had.

Paul Berkowitz, of H. Bayersdorfer
& Co., Philadelphia, called on the trade
last week.

Mr. and Mrs. Herman Schlachter cele-
brated the silver anniversary of their
wedding May 13. C. H. H.

BRAMPTON, ONT.

A more awkward time could not have
been set for Mothers' day than this
year 's. All the growers were found short
of stock. The demand for flowers was un-
precedented and, although most of the
florists in the cities thoroughly com-
prehended the importance of the occa-
sion, those in the towns and smaller
places left ordering until the last mo-
inent and in most instances could not
secure five per cent of the stock they
needed. Orchids, valley and sweet peas
were much in demand and prices were
slightly better than those of last year.

Spring is moving slowly and rains
have been so frequent that planting out
has not yet begun. The labor problem
is troublesome and, although higher
wages are now paid than in the his-
tory of the flower business in Canada,
the conditions are anything but hope-
ful- W. G. P.

Columbus, O. — Four large greenhouses
are being erected on East Main street
by the John C. Moninger Co., of Chi-
cago. S. S. Myers is the buyer.

The Florists^ Review

May 18, 1916.

COLUMBUS, O.

Business was heavy here for Mothers'
day. While white carnations were in
great demand, there were not so many
orders for them booked ahead, which
was well, as a white carnation was the
one flower that was not much in evi-
dence. There was a large crop of roses,
with valley from outdoors. Sweet pea?,
lilies and roses were especially fine, and
when the people saw there was little
chance pf getting white carnations they
went after anything. From all reports,
each item was cleaned up in fine shape.

There was a good lot of potted plants
that came in for a share of the busi-
ness, such as hydrangeas, spiraeas, tube-
roses, begonias, potted roses and even
geraniums. There were a number of
porch boxes ordered up for the occa-
sion— it was not a day for white car-
nations alone.

The trade is exceedingly busy with
bedding plants, porch boxes, etc., and
most of the florists are swamped with
work. Geraniums are in great demand
and there are more of them than ever
before. Everyone reports business
heavy, with a number of June weddings
looming up to keep things moving after
planting time. J. M.

LANCASTER, PA.

The regular monthly meeting of the
Lancaster Florists' and Gardeners' Em-
ployees' Fraternity was held at the
Chamber of Commerce rooms with a
good attendance. Seven new members
were admitted, increasing the member-
ship to sixty.

Prof. John Weimer addressed the
members on "Fraternity" and Alphius
Peters, • who attended the National
Flower Show at Philadelphia as a dele-
gate of the association, gave a splendid
report. Mr. Peters firmly believes that
Lancaster county carnations can not be
beaten.

John Weiss, L. Brenner, E. Geiter, H.
Brenner and A. Peters, the committee
to arrange the Grand Flower Festival,
to be held May 27, at Third and Coral
streets, Lancaster, submitted a favor-
able report. The festival will be held
for the benefit of the death fund of the
society. A special meeting of the soci-
ety will be held May 23 for the final
arrangements of the festival.

Long Branch, N. J. — Walter Lind-
hart, of the firm of Lindhart & Sode-
mann, welcomed the arrival of a male
heir at his home April 23.

Morristown, N. J. — ^The members of
the Morris County Florists' and Gar-
deners' Association will assist in the
flower show to be given by the Garden
Club in June.

(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 Eeview 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.

MOSTLY FOB PROPAQATINO.

I have a house 36x75, which I have
been heating to a temperature of 52
degrees without forcing the boiler. I
wish to build another house, 15x30,
placing it so it will run parallel with
the present house, only it will be six
feet away and the east end of it will
join the boiler room on the west. I
wish to heat the new house to 60 de-
grees in zero weather. Please tell me
how to pipe it. It will be used for
propagating geraniums and coleus, for
starting vegetable plants, and for ferns.
It will contain two side benches and
one center bench. The walls will be
entirely of concrete and will be five
feet high. . The pipe to be used is all
2-inch and a hot water system is used.
Will gate valves be needed in each
house, and how many, to keep the right
temperature! F. C. F. — Ind.

To heat the proposed house, 15x30,
to 60 degrees, we would run a 2% -inch
flow pipe upon each plate and connect
each of these flow pipes at the farther
end of the house with a coil of four
2-ineh returns, placed under the side
benches. With a downhill system of
piping, there will be no occasion for
any air valves if the highest point in
each flow pipe is connected with the
expansion tank. Without knowing how
the pipes in the present house are ar-
ranged, we cannot advise definitely re-
garding the number and location of the
gate valves. It is generally a good
plan to have either a gate or an angle
valve upon each of the flows. Unless
a break in the system occurs, there is
seldom any occasion for valves on the
returns.

WOULD OVERTAX THE FLOW.

We have a greenhouse 32x100,
heated with hot water on the downhill
system. The piping consists of one
flow and six returns on each side, and
four flows and four returns in the cen-
ter. This piping heats the house with
ease. We should like to add a house

ing returns in it and connecting the
returns with one of the side flows in
the present house. We want a temper-
ature of 60 degrees in the new house,
in zero weather. Can this plan be car-
ried out and how many 2-inch returns
will be needed! The side flows are
214-inch. J. A. F. & S.— O.

The present radiation is well planned
so far as the side coils are concerned,
and we would not care to make the
change just as suggested. The flow
pipes now supplying the side coils are
providing for 450 square feet of radiat-
ing surface, which is the maximum
amount that can be handled to advan-
tage by a 214 -inch flow pipe. The new
house should have about 400 square
feet of radiation and for this two sepa-
rate 2V^-inch flow pipes should be pro-
vided.

, If there is no glass in the side walls
of the house 32x100, two of the flow
pipes in the middle of the house can be
spared and it is suggested that the
returns to which they are now con-
nected be joined to the other two flow
pipes. If these flow pipes are carried
overhead, the two spare ones can be

What Makes Merit?

The value of the advertising space in a
periodical depends first of all upon the way
that periodical is regarded by those for
whom it is published. Anybody who has
the price can print a paper — it is not so
easy to get it read. That is why letters like
these have a value :

I could not begin to tell you how much I enjoy
every issue of The Eeview, but I read every num-
ber from cover to cover. Your report of the Na-
tional Flower Show at Philadelphia certainly was
complete and I was able to enjoy the show almost
as much as if I had been there. As for the illus-
trations, well, they were fine! — Eobert W. Yeo,
North Bergen, N. J., April 12, 1916.

We have the pleasure to inform you that we
always are interested by The Eeview, as in it we
are able to see communications regarding the horti-
culture of the world. Indeed The Eeview is the
very best journal in this line. — Saitama Engei &
Co., Ltd., Tokyo, Japan, March 29, 1916.

Sending out free copies to those who
don 't care enough about a paper to pay for
it does not bring letters like the above. Nor
does a free circulation produce results for
advertisers like the following :

You receive so many compliments from adver-
tisers in The Eeview, about good results obtained,
that we are afraid you will not care very much
for our mite of acknowledgment. But to state
facts: We owe The Eeview the establishment of
our business. The kind information you have
given us at times has helped us along wonderfully
and last year, when the time came to offer our
stock for the first time, we concluded to advertise
in The Eeview only. The expenses for that year's
ads were $8.40, and this year $7.20. As for the
results: Last year we sold over 6,000 bulbs; this ^9|
-year so far, over 12,000, and the few we have left tg||
will surely go with another two insertions of a ^
classified ad. — Gerbing Floral Garden Co., Fernan- ,^
dina, Fla., April 12, 1916.

When you hear a man complain of the
cost of advertising you can be pretty sure
he spends a good bit of money elsewhere
than in The Review.

BenJ. Dorrance Greenhonses, Dorranceton, Pa.,
equipped with a "Detroit" System. .

Here is a device
you need

Are''you|wastiiig millions of heat units a year?

If you are not utilizing your condensation, you are
wasting heat and therefore money.

This waste can be easily overcome by the use of the
"Detroit" System— simple, automatic, economical.

There are thousands of gallons of water condensed in
your steam system each year. This condensation can
be returned to the boilers and converted into steam
again by a small amount of heating.

Here is a simple illustration of the importance of
condensation: First draw cold water out of a tap
into a teakettle, place it on the stove and watch how
long it takes before steam begins to issue from the
spout.

If you draw the water from the hot water tap very
near the boiling point, in an instant you have steam.
And it takes only one-tenth the time and fuel.

Stop and realize how much more fuel is used when a
great amount of cold water is drawn into the boilers
to be converted into steam.

There is no harder place to test the worth of a steam
trap than in the heating plant of a greenhouse.

With the "Detroit" System condensation is removed
from the pipes above or below the water level in the
boilar. There is no pumping necessary, and it is auto-
matically returned.

Choose the "Detroit" Svstem, because it has the most
efficiency. It delivers the condensation to the boilers
at a temperature at which it has been made liquid.
Unlike the pump, it does not wait for it to cool.

Let our experts show you how a "Detroit" System is
adapted to your particular needs.

They have had years of experience in the handling of
steam trap installations.

You can investigate the results of this device with-
out obligation or cost.

can be done without impairing the effi-
ciency of the system, and are run over-
head in the new house, it will only be
necessary to use six and five returns,
respectively, in the wall coils. We ad-
vise that the flows run downhill and
that the expansion tank be connected
with the highest point in the system.

BETTER USE LARGER RETURNS.

Please tell me how to pipe a green-
house 12x100, using 2-inch pipe for
flows and l^/^-inch pipe for returns, to
get a temperature of 50 degrees in zero
weather. There will be two feet of
glass in the sides, and three feet of
wall below the glass will be boarded.
The ridge will be about nine feet high.
How many square feet of radiation will
be required for 50 degrees at zero?
This is the way I figure the piping for
the house: Eun two 2-inch flows under
the ridge to the far end and then drop
them under the benches, so that one
flow will feed four runs of IV^-inch
pipe on the west side of the house and
the other flow will feed three runs of
1%-inch pipe on the east side. What
temperature would that piping give?
If that plan is not correct, please sug-
gest a better way. How should a boiler
for this house be rated?

W. R. D.— Pa.

The radiation suggested in the in-
quiry is exactly the same as we figurcMJ
it out independently from the data
given. The actual radiation will be not
far from 350 square feet, and, while
different makes of boilers are rated
differently, it will most likely be safe
if a boiler rated at 450 to 500 square
feet of radiation is selected. Unless
the top of the boiler is considerably
below the returns, or the water is car-
ried under pressure, we prefer to use
2-inch pipes for the returns in houses
over seventy-five or eighty feet long.
While the sizes suggested would give
good results, we would prefer to use
six 2-inch returns, and five would
answer for 50 degrees in all except the
coldest weather.

PITTSBURGH.

The Market.

Delightful weather for the last two
weeks seems to have had a good effect
on the flower business. Narcissi and
tulips are at their best; lilacs are in
bloom and this week will bring the
first of the local peonies, but it seems
that the sight of the outdoor flowers
only causes the people to buy more than
formerly. Mothers' day was a big day
for the florists. Each year it ^ets bet-
ter and it «an now be classed with St.
Valentine's day as a cut flower day.
Of course carnations were in greatest
demand and they were the only flowers
which advanced in price, but every-
thing that looked like a flower was
sold, and by Saturday night the whole-
salers closed with empty refrigerators.

The retail stores that do a plant busi-
ness are certainly busy, now that the
warm weather has arrived, and all want
their porch boxes at the same time. The
local growers were kept back in their
planting, as the wet weather prevented
them from getting the ground ready, but
all now have their stock of carnations
planted out. There is some diflfieulty in
getting labor, as the mills are paying
common labor much more than florists
can afford to pay, for there does not
seem to be so much money in the flower
business as in making ammunition.

Various Notes.

Schenley park has been a blaze of
glory since the tulips have come into
bloom. The delightful effects of -tulips
planted among shrubbery and in the
grass — colonies of them distributed all
over the park — certainly are showing
the people the proper way to get the
best results. This arrangement is much
more beautiful than planting in the
form of crosses, anchors and what not,
as one usually sees them.

William Turner, on Sunday, May 14,
helped his father and mother to cele-
brate their golden wedding. Every
member of the family was present, as
there has not been a death among the
children or grandchildren.

Mr. and Mrs. T. P. Langhans motored
to Washington, D. C, last week, to see
the graduation of their daughter, Miss
Marion, who has been a pupil at Chevy
Chase.

Capt. John H. Elliott, at one time in

NEWABK, N. J.

The Market.

There was a large sale of bedding
plants last week. Thousands of baskets
of pansy plants were brought into the
market and sold. Potted geranium
plants ■ are more plentiful than they
have been, as well as potted heliotropes,
double petunias, etc. Rambler roses
have been popular. Both yellow and
white daisies have been plentiful and
have sold well. Forget-me-nots were
more abundant during the last week or
ten days than at any other time this
season. There are some irises in the
market, but they are not at all plen-
tiful. Primulas, snapdragons and be-
gonias are in considerable demand.
Sweet peas are as popular as ever and
large quantities of them are sold. Their
quality is fine and their prices reason-
able.

Carnations were of excellent quality
last week. Whites brought a high price
for Mothers' day, making $8 per hun-
dred. The high prices of carnations on
special occasions of late have caused
much unfavorable talk on the part of
the retailers.

Purple lilacs now are coming in abun-
dantly. There is but little of the white
variety seen in the market here. Val-
ley is of fine quality.

Various Notes.

W. B. James reports business as be-
ing good. As a part of his window dis-
play last week he had a window box
filled with flowers and painted in the
city's anniversary colors, orange and
black.

Richard Youell has returned from a
two weeks' stay at his summer home at
Atlantic Highlands, where he went for
a short rest following the Easter season.

Joseph D. Kroehl, Jr., has been con-
fined to his home for the last three
weeks with an attack of rheumatism.

M. Gahr has moved from 311 Spring-
field avenue across the street to 312.
The new quarters are larger than the
former and are unusually well lighted
by means of a skylight in the rear.

Charles Luthy finds business slow
compared with what it was before
Easter. His Easter business was ex-
ceptionally good, however, only one
plant remaining of his large Easter
stock. R. B. M.

Las Animas, Colo. — A. C. Hartman
says the season now drawing to an end
is the best within his experience, the
spring trade having been particularly
good. Easter was satisfactory, the de-
mand for plants and cut flowers being
about even.

NASHVILLE, TENN.

The Market.

The last two weeks were record-break-
ers in the sales of bedding plants.
Salvias, good geraniums, petunias, and,
in fact, most of the bedders, are well
cleaned up, with the demand as heavy
as at the beginning. Stock was, on the
whole, better this season than I ^have
ever seen it before. This may be thq
reason why it moved so rapidly, but
the weather has had its effect. It
seemed as if summer never would come,
but now that it has it probably will
stay. The only complaints are of the
lack of rain.

This has been an iris and peony year.
I have never seen finer peonies at an
exhibition than in private gardens dur-
ing the last week.

The cut-flower trade keeps up well,
there being little that does not move at
a good figure. The spring entertaining
season is on and has helped business.
Then school commencements have cut
some figure. The best sellers in plants
this season have been salvias, Poitevine
geraniums, petunias, cannas and then
red geraniums and the general range of
plants. Snapdragons are growing in
popularity, while lantanas are on the
wane. The call for cannas is heavier
than it has ever been and many are
asking for varieties by name. Vincas
are among the plants that are losing
their popularity.

Various Notes.

The irises at the Hillcrest School Farm
are attracting many visitors. There
are more than 100 varieties in bloom at
present. They still have a few late
daffodils.

Tom Joy has been away with the
Boosters' Club for a week, making a
tour of the surrounding cities. His
brother, Harold, took his place as mana-
ger of the store while he was away.
They report a heavy plant business,
most of their good stock having sold.

I visited the Geny Bros, houses last
week and was surprised by their empti-
ness. Two weeks ago the houses were
full of plants of all kinds. Oscar is
much improved in health.

Floyd Bralliar has an acre or so
planted to up-to-date cannas. He plans
selling the plants to the trade.

I noticed great improvement in some
of the city parks this spring. Mr. Mc-
Bride is trying to make the parks more
educational as well as more beautiful.

Melntyre Bros, report a clean-up of
salvias in all but small-sized plants.
They tried this season to propagate
enough for all comers, but the trade
was too heavy. F. B.

The market was tiirned topsy-turvy
by Mothers' day. About $500 were
spent in advertising and calling this'
day to the attention of the people. The
advertisements were run in the daily
papers and any florist who cared to con-
tribute was assessed according to the
amount of business he did annually and
his location.

The carnation growers who supplied
the demand agreed among themselves to
insist on $8 per hundred for carnations
for Mothers' day. The price and the
idea of the growers forming this sort
of temporary combine did not appeal
to the retailers at all; many refused to
handle any carnations at all. Those
who did put in a supply, however, real-
ized well on them, as the blooms sold
like hot cakes at $2 per dozen. Still,
the writer is of the opinion that many
bad friends were made when such an
exorbitant price was charged for car-
nations, the quality of which was poor,
as the stock had been pickled.

The call, however, was not for car-
nations alone. Everything sold, even
to Boston ferns. By Sunday noon most
of the stores closed because of the lack
of stock or facilities with which to
handle the orders, as no special prep-
arations had been made. "A second
Easter," is how many retailers de-
scribed Mothers' day. Next year an
effort must be made to get the public
out of the notion that carnations are
the only appropriate flowers for the
day. H. S.

The lyiaxket.

Although weddings and funeral work
kept the trade busy last week, Mothers'
day gave a decided impetus to the busi-
ness of the week and caused a dearth
of white flowers. Notwithstanding that
the florists made little effort to adver-
tise the day, the occasion brought re-
sults that were highly satisfactory.

Potted and bedding plants were es-
pecially active. Prices ranged about
normal.

Various Notes.

The Quidnick Greenhouses were in-
corporated last week by Courtland C.
Earle, Marten Schoolman and Eobert
M. Lamont, all of Coventry. The cap-
italization is $30,000.

Florists donated generously to Baby
Flower day, Saturday, May 13, for the
benefit of a hospital.

Conrad Schultz, of Westerly, was a
business visitor to Boston last week.

A legacy of $5,000 was left to Fred-
erick C. Hoffman, of Pawtucket, by the
will of his late brother, William H.
Hoffman.

George W. Fraser has taken over the
Westcott greenhouses on Public street.

The foundation of a new office build-
ing and show room has been put in by
Laurence Hay, at Kumford.

E. E. HowardAas opened a store at
261 Weybosset street.

The Quidnick Greenhouses have start-
ed the erection of three new houses,
two of which each will be 35x250 feet
and the third, a propagating house, 20x
200 feet.

Oakley & Powers have opened a store

THE FUNNY SIDE OF LIFE.

Nearly every florist has been pestered
by the man or woman customer who
wants $2 worth of professional advice
for a smile or with a quarter's worth of
Beauties. It happens in the best of fam-
ilies. Some are tickled by such occur-
rences; others merely say: "And then
they shoot men like Lincoln." Here
are two stories, rather tame, by George
Hammer, of Van Horn, la., vouched for
by him as being true to life:

"One day a gentleman came in,
looked all over the place, priced many
things, taking up about two hours of
valuable time, and finally asked for a
bucket of 'dirt,' saying: 'I just re^
ceived some plants from Blank & Co. I
tell you they are fine.' The nerve of
some people! Why couldn't he pat-
ronize the home trade?"

"A young man recently ordered flow-
ers to be delivered at the home of a
bride. Time flew by, but there was no
payment of the bill. One day I met the
young man's father. I mentioned the
unpaid bill. Thereupon he turned on
me angrily and said: 'You're a fine
business man, you are! You send bill
after bill, although the account has been
paid long-ago.' A little inquiry, how-
ever, brought out the information that
the young fellow had obtained a money
order for the amount due and was care-
fully keeping it, thinking it was a re-
ceipt. The next day I received the
money order, and I mailed a receipt, as
customary. Now father, son and rela-
tives have declared a feud."

ROOTXNG BEGONIA CJHATELAINE.

Can you tell me what to do with
old Chatelaine begonia plants? How
and when should they be propagated?

A. F. J. — Mass.

If you have no special use for the
old plants, throw them away. They
cannot be bedded out with ^fi,tety in
your latitude before the last of May.
Cuttings of this splendid begonia can
.be rooted at almost any time, but it
roots freely from November until May,
in a cutting bench where there is some
bottom heat and a top heat of 60 de-
grees. C. W.

Tionesta, Pa. — A local improvement
association has been arousing interest
in the planting of flowers and shrubs
in vacant lots, along the streets, etc.
This has created a lively demand for
hardy perennials and annuals. "The
season has been backward, but stock of
all kinds is beginning to move out and
we anticipate a bigger business than
last year," says C. A. Anderson.

NEWS NOnS

Atlantic City, N. J. — The London
Flower Shop, of Philadelphia, has sent
out advertising matter announcing the
opening of a branch store here at 2517
Boardwalk, about June 1.

South Haven, Mich. — Mrs. Liberty H.
Bailey, mother of Liberty Hyde Bailey,
instructor, author and editor of the
Standard Cyclopedia of Horticulture,
died at her home here May 7. Her hus-
hand died four years ago.

Hannibal, Mo. — The real estate,
greenhouses and business of E. A.
H<)dge have been sold to Michael Sedl-
meier, formerly of Quincy, 111. Addi-
tional greenhouses will be built and
other important improvements made to
aggressively promote the business.

Lincoln, Neb. — Mothers' day busi-
ness certainly was an eye opener to the
florists here. Say Chapin Bros., of 127
South Thirteenth street: "Easter busi-
ness, with all the preparation and hul-
labaloo, only exceeded Mothers' day
business by three per cent, and if there
had been stock Mothers' day would
have beat Easter a mile. Believe us, it
was some business!"

Newcastle, Ind. — "When the roses
bloom in Newcastle, I'll be there."
This is the slogan developed at a recent
citizens ' meeting, at which Myer Heller,
of the South Park Floral Co., spoke on
"Rose Planting for Newcastle." New-
castle year^ ago was nicknamed the
' ' Rose City, ' ' but now when visitors ar-
rive to look over the roses they have a
hard time finding them, unless they
visit the greenhouses. To make the
city true to name, Mr. Heller and the
city's fathers have started a campaign
for the planting of roses outdoors. Mr.
Heller in his address gave cultural di-
rections and named a number of good
hardy climbers.

Butte, Mont.— A fortnight or so ago
the Butte Floral Co. had a large sur-
plus stock of ferns, about 1,700 plants.
It was desired to convert at least sev-
enty-five per cent of these into cash. The
idea was to move the lot in a jiffy, eco-
nomically, at retail. Now, William J.
Day, James H. King and Philo H. King,
the men who constitute the Butte Floral
Co., believe that advertising pays, and
pays big. So advertising space was re-
served in one of Butte's dailies and one
morning the people were informed of a
special fern sale at the Butte store.
The sale was a success — plant and flower
sales are not regular things at Butte.
"We sold everything offered. and had to
turn down many orders," says Philo
King in speaking of the coup.

"HERE COMES ^

s;^ THE BRIDE"

The bride is the most interesting figure in our social life and her
flowers are the finest feature of our business, affording undest scope for
the display of our artistic abilities and the competence of our designers.
It is on wedding flowers our best professional reputations rest.

OW many brides will there
be in your town in June?
"What, you don't know?
Surprisingly unscientific
management! Tell you how
to find out? Certainly, it's
the easiest thing imagin-
able and as exact as the
mortuary tables of an in-
surance company. Vital
statistics show that florists can count
on ninety weddings per year for each
10,000 population; that thirteen per cent
of these weddings will occur in June.

The distribution of weddings through
the year, not taking count of fractions,
is in the following percentages; Janu-
uary eight; February, five; March, six;
April, eight; May, nine; June, thirteen;
July, seven; August, eight; September,
ten; October, ten; No-
vember, nine; Decem-
ber, seven per cent.

June the Leader.

So anyone, interested
can "dope it out" that
there will be slightly
more than twice as
many weddings in his
city next month as there
were in March.

But the figures do not
convey the real impor-
tance of June on the
florists' calendar, espe-
cially not if the florist
chances to be one of
those favored by the
patronage of the social
element in his commu-
nity. For this reason:

While it may be true
that "in the spring the
young man 's fancy
turns to thoughts of
love," the fact is the
laboring man gets mar-
ried when he can, with
little regard for the sea-
son, while those more
fortunately circum-
stanced await the con-
ventional period, June,
or choose the months of
early autumn. Thus it
is that the weddings of
June, and of September
and October, avferage of
better quality than do
the weddings of the rest
of the year, considering
them from a florist's
viewpoint — they call for
more and better flowers.

However, the importance of June lies
no more in the extra quantity of work
it brings the florist than it does in the
opportunity to make or mar his profes-
sional reputation. A big wedding is an
advertising opportunity par excellence,

"Watch Your Step."

When a woman weds it is the most
momentous event of her life. Neither
she nor her family will overlook any
shortcoming in the wedding flowers, but,
on the other hand, the florist who gives
complete satisfaction with the flowers
for a bridal party, nine times out of ten
has made friends for life.

The reason perfection is so necessary
in wedding flowers is that next to the
bridal costume the flowers must stand
the most critical inspection. If they

meet with approval, well ahd good, but
if they do not measure up to the mark,
woe betide the florist, for he has caused
his patrons to humiliate themselves in
the eyes of their guests; he has wound-
ed their self-respect; he will see them
only once again if at all.

The fact that quality is paramount
affords a splendid argument for the
florist who is seeking to raise the char-
acter of his trade. With it he can
checkmate the competitor who seeks the
order on price alone.

If wedding flowers are subject to such
critical inspection, if they are more dis-
cussed and longer remembered than an^
other work turned out by florists, it
stands to reason that the retailer who
undersells and then skimps his work to
make up for it is cutting his own throat.
The wise policy is to
charge a fair price and
then in return give the
best obtainable.

Use Good Stock.

Not many men can do
good work without good
materials, and no man
can be sure of his wed-
ding decorations and
bouquets unless he uses
first-class flowers. Never
is it so well as in June
to sacrifice a dollar or
two of immediate profit
as an insurance against
the loss of much trade
and many fat checks
should a wedding job go
wrong through the use
of inferior stock. Buy
dependable flowers, even
if they cost a little
more.

Remember that each
wedding means a new
home — a new customer.
The florist who has the
wedding order has the
inside track: He can
cement the bride's fam-
ily to himself, and can
gain the new family as
his customer, or he can
lose them both, irre-
trievably. If ever it is
"better to be safe than
sorry" it is with wed-
ding flowers.

Once get a reputation
in the matter of wed-
ding flowers and the
work will come, includ-
ing orders from many of

14

The Florists' Review

Mat 25, 1916.

those who have patronized other florists
on less important occasions.

Provide All Accessories.

To gain a reputation for one's wed-
ding work something more is needed
than good stock and the will to please.
The florist should have a complete
equipment of the up-to-date accessories
and he should keep them in perfect con-
dition. "When not in use they should
be carefully protected from deteriora-
tion. A dirty, dusty kneeling stool is
neither an asset nor an advertisement.

The florist who has equipped himself
to take care of anything that comes
along in the way of wedding work has
a great advantage over the man who
tackles the orders catch-as-catch-can.

The Latest Styles.

There is little change, from year to
year, in the character or bouquets car-
ried by bridal parties. Since the ' ' cauli-
flower" type of bride's bouquet passed
out, being replaced by the open, loose
style of arrangement, there has been no
change except in the size of the bunch.
Increased size has characterized the
bouquets for the entire bridal party —
season by season they keep getting
larger and larger. Even if the ladies
are small, the bouquets are big. But
they are not heavy and do not appear
so. Wherein lies the test of the flo-
rist's skill. It takes a good man to
make a big bunch Ibok light and grace-
ful. •'*- 1'

Along with increased size and im-
proved arrangement has come the use
of finer flowers. Besides valley, there
are orchids in many of the wedding
bouquets of today.

The Illustrations.

Examples of the latest in wedding
bouquets are shown in the accompany-
ing illustrations. On the preceding
page a daughter of Gov. Dunne is seen
descending the stairs of the guberna-
torial mansion at Springfield, 111., and
on this page she stands with her bridal
party. The bouquets were the work
of George Wienhoeber, of Chicago.

Also on this page is a bride's muff
with a shower, a unique style so heavily

flowered that it conceals the "muff,"
by Max Schling, New York, who at
the same time contributes the bride's
shower bouquet on the opposite page
and the two bouquets of orchids on
page 17.

On page 16 is a bouquet by A. Kott-
miller. New York, that will be specially
interesting for the fact that the excel-

A Muff With Shower.

lent result is obtained by the use of
only 150 valley. Which leads to the
caution that an advance in the price of
brides' bouquets is necessary this June
for the excellent reason that valley
is scarce because of the war and will
cost the retailer from twenty-five to
fifty per cent more than it did last
year.

tion was organized at a meeting at the

sale florists have been trying it out.
Considerable opposition on the part of
the retailers and a few growers has
• developed, but gradually is disappear-
ing and in the end shorter hours for
the whole body of florists may. result.

As an indication that Sunday clos-
ings is gaining friends, the St. Louis
wholesalers were pleased to receive the
following letter from J. F. Ammann, of
Edwardsville, 111., who has beeA a ship-
per to the St. Louis market for over a
quarter of a century:

In this progressive age, as in all past ages. I
appreciate the amount of courage required and
the amount of abuse to withstand, to In only
a small measure inaugurate a reform in any line
of business.

1, too, appreciate the lack of compliments
coming even from those who fully agree with sufh
reform and who in many cases are largely bene-
fited thereby. I therefore take this opportunity
of congratulating you as a body of high-minded
business men for the courage of your convictions
and especially for the hearty cooperation on the
part of each one of you in recognizing Sunday as
the one day in seven to refuse to do business.

I fully appreciate the temptations you oiust
resist, and the abuse you surely receive, but I
predict you will win out in the end. And I sin-
cerely hope to see the day when all those who
are now heaping this abuse on you will thank you
for having taken the initiative in this great re-
> form.

The Eeview thiitks the use of the
word ' ' abuse ' ' in Mr. Ammann 's letter
perhaps is open to misconstruction; it
is unlikely that one business man will
"abuse" another to any serious extent
simply for the reason that the second
does not care to sell on Sunday. The
Sunday closing of wholesale houses
works no real hardship on retailers, for
nowadays every retailer doing any con-

INTERNATIONAL CLTTB'S SHOW.

Preparations are completed for the
first annual summer flower show of the
International Garden Club, to be held
at its grounds, Pelham Manor, Pelham
bay park. New York, June 1 to 4. Two
large tents and smaller tents have been
erected on the grounds. Sunken gar-
dens will be arranged in the tents for
the display of groups of plants, etc.
The schedules are ready, with entry
blanks, and may be had from the secre-
tary-manager of the show, Arthur
Herrington, Madison, N. J.

The grounder are easily reached by
automobile, as they are on the main
Boston road from New York. The park
also is on the Harlem division of the
New York and New Haven railroad.
Freight and express shipments should
be sent to City Island station, which is
nearest the grounds. People from the
east may change at New Rochelle, or
they may take the Third avenue ele-
vated trains to One Hundred and

The Bride's Bouquet De Luxe, of Valley and Orchids.

Twenty-ninth street, thence by train to
City Island station.

A generous prize list of nearly $5,000
is being oft:ered, about equally divided
between the trade and the prrvate
growers. Additional premiums will be
given to owners of meritorious exhibits.

Governor Whitman opened the
grounds last year for the club and it
is expected that Mayor Mitchel will
be on hand to open the flower show.

CLEVELAND TO HAVE FAIR.

Announcement has been made of an
industrial exposition and fair to be held
September 2 to 9 at Cleveland, under
the direction of the Cleveland Chamber
of. Industry Exposition Co. The exhib-
its have been divided into eight sepa-
rate shows, one of them being a flower
show. Committees representing organi-
zations in Cleveland interested in flori-
culture have been invited to cooperate
with the management in making the
flower show one worth while.

M. A. Vinson,^ who managed the big

Cleveland flower show last November,
has been secured to take charge of the
business end and the general promotion
of the event. Through his efforts the
Cleveland Florists' Club, the Ohio
Horticultural Society, the Cleveland
Garden Club, the Lakewood Garden
Club and the Shaker Heights Garden
Club have been asked to appoint com-
mittees to meet and prepare the flower
show premium list, which will be
printed early in June. Herman P.
Knoble, of Knoble Bros., and chairman
of the last Cleveland flower show com-
mittee, is on the board of directors and
a member of the executive committee
of the exposition company. As this or-
ganization was responsible for a suc-
cessful show four years ago, it is pre-
dicted that this one also will be a suc-
cess.

Those desiring to receive premium
lists are requested to send their names
and addresses to M. A. Vinson, care of

THE REST THAT
ROSES NEED ^

HOW HUMISTON BESTS ROSES.

Echoes of "Putting Roses to Sleep."

It was with more than usual interest
that I read the article in the May 11
issue of The Review entitled "Putting
the Eoses to Sleep," from the virile
pen of Charles N. Cotter. It brought
to my mind an earlier article written
by Mr. Cotter — "Whe» Lack of Light
Makes Roses Lag." Articles such as
these, written by one who is a prac-
tical grower in every sense of the word
and who substantiates his practical
knowledge with scientific data, are not
only of great interest but also of in-
estimable value to rose growers, and
it seems to me that the articles should
bring forth a general discussion on the
part of growers.

While not in the least presuming to
criticize any of Mr. Cotter's theories,
it seems to me that in certain in-
stances he takes rather too narrow a
view of Mbther Nature's ability to
provide rest for her children. In other
words, should we as growers assume
that Mother Nature has only one
method of providing rest for vegetable
bodies and that this method is the one
she uses in the northern temperate
zone in lulling her children to a sound
sl^ep for two, three or four months
during the year! Will the real facts
of the case, pfirticularly as regards
roses, hold good in this assumption!

Observations in the South.

From observations in the far south
and southwest, I find that the more
tender tea roses, and particularly is
this true of the hybrid teas, planted
outdoors, will go through practically
the entire year without being entirely
defoliated. I have seen Killarneys and
many other forcing roses in Texas and
New Mexico hold the old foliage or a
portion of it until new foliage the f ol- <
lowing spring was well developed, pro-
viding no pruning was done. I be-
lieve this same circumstance holds good
in southern California. At the same
time I find practically^ all classes of
roses thriving more vigorously in the
south than in the north. While all
forcing roses need and demand rest in
order that they may reach the highest
degree of productivity, I do not believe
they require that absolute rest of com-
plete dormancy that takes place with
outdoor roses in the north.

Methods Governed by Climate.

With our under-glass conditions, to
my mind partial dormancy — brought
about by withholding water, followed
by proper pruning and then, with the
advent of new growth and new foliage,
close attention in pinching the first
crop of buds — is of the greatest im-
portance, but the method used to ar-
rive at the given end must be governed
by local climatic conditions.

To return to Mother Nature's meth-

ods, I find that in the extreme south
roses will become partially dormant
during the mild winters, but they are
ready at any time to spring into active
growth with the first warm spell ac-
companied by sufficient moisture. In
the early spring the plants will throw
out a crop of flowers. With the arrival
of drier and warmer \7eather durii^
June they frequently seem to become
partially dormant again, practically
no growth being made and the plants
at times losing considerable foliago.
As the hot, rainy season of July and
August approaches they will spring into
the most active growth and, as this

A Fine Effect With 150 Valley .fi

growth matures, they will commence
flowering and sometimes continue flow-
ering until Christmas.

A Month's Rest Enough.

In my own experience the methods
used in resting roses under glass in
the northerly states will not always ob-
tain in climates such as we have in the
south and southwest. I find that it is
impossible to dry our roses so long or
SO severely here in Kansas as we did
at Chicago. I find that it is absolutely
necessary to spray nearly every day
and that we must watch the edges of
the benches carefully in order that the
plants may not dry too rapidly. I have

found that three to four weeks of this
drying process is sufficient, arid in this
ripening process I endeavor not to dry
the plants so severely as to cause any
great degree of defoliation, even though
most of the foliage may be taken off
when we prune. Our main object is to
stop the growth completely, thereby
th'rowing the strengfth of the plant into
tne lower eyes.

As soon as pruning has been accom-
plished, I see that the benches are thor-
oughly cleaned of all old mulching and
rubbish, using short-handled hoes for
this purpose. I am opposed to the re-
moval of any of the soil or the dis-
turbance of the root system in any way
whatever. After the benches are thor-
oughly cleaned and all rubbish removed
from underneath the benches, I give
the first watering, and this I consider
to be one of the most important opera-
tions in the whole process of carrying
over the roses.

Watering and Mulching.

The benches must be gone over with
the water again and again, until every
particle of soil is saturated. All cracks
and fissures in the soil caused by the
drying process are completely closed
and the water is soaked into the heart
of the root system of every plant, and
this causes the soil to form again into
one homogeneous mass.

Of late years I have followed the
practice of never applying mulch to my
benches until the first growth of new
foliage is out and has assumed a good,
healthy color. After the first thorough
saturation, the plants will only need
light sprayings for the most part, until
the first growth has been made and the
mulch put on. For mulch I prefer using
a thorough mixture of equal parts of
fibrous sod soil and cow manure that
is not too well rotted. Before applying
this mulch I give the benches an appli-
cation of bone meal, at the rate of ten
to twelve pounds per 100 square feet of
bench surface, following this immedi-
ately with the mulch. As soon as the
mulch is applied the benches get the
second heavy watering and this water-
ing should be as thorough as the first
one. In the course of a short time the
first growth will beg^n forming buds.

I believe it is an established fact
that, with the exception of the period
that a plant is flowering and ripening
a crop of seed, there is no period of
growth that taxes the vitality of the
plant to the extent of that of the devel-
opment of a crop of flowers. For this
reason I am of the firm opinion that if
we expect to reap the best results and
obtain the highest degree of produc-
tivity from the plants during the win-
ter months, it is essential to see to the
pinching of the first crop of buds at an
early stage.

The efforts from this time on should
be exerted toward producing a sturdy
growth of a large quantity of foliage.
During the early fall months I never
allow my plants to throw a full crop at
one time, but continue pinching them
until early November, allowing, of
course, enough buds to develop to give
me a fairly steady cut. It is during
this period in the fall that the greatest
care must be taken to retain all the
foliage possible on the plants. One
must be constantly on his guard against
conditions that will cause mildew, black
spot and yellow leaves.

careful attention to the little details
and never-ceasing vigilance — in fact, be-
coming acquainted with every plant in
the benches — we will reach the goal
of maximum productiveness and materi-
ally reduce the period of unproductive-
ness during the short, sunless days of
winter. H. E. Humiston.

VARIOUS UQUID MANURES.

In making a liquid fertilizer for gen-
eral use, with chicken or pigeon or
horse manure, what is the right propor-
tion of the fresh manure to use in fifty
gallons of water? I do not refer to
the use of all three manures together,
but each one separately, making fifty
gallons of each. M. B. — N. Y.

The general practice is to use one-
half bushel of fresh horse manure to
fifty gallons of water. Chicken and
pigeon manure, which are of the same
composition to a large extent, are about
three times as strong as horse manure
and so only one-sixth bushel of these
manures should be used with fifty gal-
lons of water. Great care should be
exercised to use the chicken and pigeon
manures in the right proportion.

cessfuUy, retaining Tnost of the foliage
in a healthy condition and all growth
intended for Christmas cutting begin-
ning to set bud freely^ by November 15
or 20, our prospects for a profitable
crop at Christmas are good. In grow-
ing roses for a retail establishment such
as ours, I never have considered it ad-
visable to attempt to secure a full crop
at Christmas, but have aimed to pinch
the plants in such a manner as to have
a succession of blooms during Jan-
uary. However, in spite of all our
efforts, we are bound to experience a

feriod of light cutting at this period,
n cutting our Christmas crop we have
removed immense quantities of foliage,
and have caused a retardation of root
growth. We have at this time used
practically all the stored energy in our
plants and, with weather conditions
against us, it becomes a delicate task
to bring our stock back to productivity.
I have always found it the safest plau
to allow them a partial rest at this
period. We do not gain time by being
impatient and trying to push the plants
to immediate growth. They are in no
condition to accept food and the hose
must be handled with care until the
eyes begin to swell. At the same time,
with the heavy firing at this time of
the year, we must not let the soil be-
come too dry at the bottom of the
benches.

Little * Details Important.

At this stage I prefer to have my
benches fairly clear of all refuse from
fall mulchings, as an excess of surface
moisture is apt to create trouble. With
the advent of increased sunshine, and as
the stock begins to take on growth,
we may s&fely increase the quantity
of water and may carry a slightly

higher temperature, f eediig ibghtly as
the plants seem to demalid " it. With

ROSE SOCIETY AT WASHINaTON.

r^

Inspects Arlington Test Garden.

The American Eose Society issued an
invitation for all those interested to
meet at Washington, D. C, May 23^ to
inspect the test rose garden at Arling-
ton Farm, conducted by the government
in cooperation with the society. The
weather proved to be inclement, the at-
tendance small and the affair something
of a disappointment. The collection of
rosea is large, is increasing and haS ex-
cellent care, but it was impossible to do
any judging under the conditions of the
day. W. F. Gude therefore was ap-
pointed chairman of judges, with au-
thority to Jorm his own board and to
make anotliar attempt to score the best
varieties aX a favorable time, probably
next week.

Following an automobile ride to Ar-
lington and such inspection as the rain
germitted, the entire party visited Twin
>aks on invitation of Charles Bell, to
see the rambler roses just coming into
bloom. These won favorable comment
.and the collection of German irises also
is of special excellence.

Discussions at Dinner.

Dinner was had in the Oak room at
the Hotel Kaleigh, President -S. S. Pen-
nock calling on many of those present
for remarks. Admiral Ward was the
first speaker and discussed bedding
roses. He said growers must qualify
their recommendations, taking into con-
sideration differences in soil and cli-
mate.

Prof. L. C. Corbett spoke on the
necessity of developing varieties spe-
cially suited to America and said that
when this is done America will lead the
world in rose production, as we have
every variety of climate. Prof. Cor-
bett said that we must use care in the
selection of stocks, securing first those
adapted to specific soils, seeking sec-
ondly congeniality of variety and the
stock which is to carry it.

E. G. Hill told of the interest taken
in English rose shows and predicted
that the Arlington test garden eventu-
ally will take its place on a par with
the Bagatelle garden in Paris and the
rose section of the Kew garden in iLon-
don.

J. H. McFarland urged that the serv-
ices of a pathologist be secured to make
a study of diseases of the rose. This
was favored by many and was referred
to the executive committee for action.

Eobert Pyle told of the indefatigable
industry and effective labors of W. F.
Gude and the latter welcomed the vis-
itors to Washington. Prof. F. L. Mul-
ford urged greater support of the rose
garden and more contributions of
plants, particularly from the west
coast.

Following dinner the visitors were
guests of Superintendent George Hess,
at the botanic gardens.

PITTSBURan.

The Market.

Pittsburgh has had some cool
weather, with frost several mornings in
the lowlands. Business generally has
been ^ood. As stock has not been plen-
tiful, it has cleaned up nicely ever since
Mothers' day and, from appearances,
will continoe to clean up for some time.
There is likely to be a shortage Me-
morial day. There will be no local
peonies, and the cool weather seems to
hold everything else back.

The wholesalers have cleaned up
nicely every day and stock is selling
at good prices for this season of the
year. There are no gluts on anything.
The retail stores are all busy. Those
handling plants are especially busy with
porch boxes. The landscape people are
rushing their work, so that they may
get their orders of trees and shrubbery
planted. The cold weather is a bless-
ing to them at least, as it holds stock
better for them, but it will keep the
cemetery planting back and make a
greater rush the last of the week.

Hortlciiltural Meeting.

The last meeting of the Horticultural
Society of Western Pennsylvania was
held in the Annex hotel. W. E. Mar-

shall, of New Yorkj was present and
gave an enthusiastic talk on flower
shows, especially a local flower show.
He suggested that the florists and others
get the vision and then talk on it until
it became a reality, as that was the ex-
perience of other cities. Mr. McCal-
lum, of the U-Bar Co., gave a talk on
vegetable growing, relating his personal
experience. Michael Curran, gardener
for Mrs. Elizabeth M. Home, read a
paper on vegetable growing, referring
especially to the best varieties to be
grown in this neighborhood, and. his re-
marks led to considerable discussion.
An interesting paper on annuals, read
by William Murphy, gardener for
Henry L. Mason, Jr., Sewickley
Heights, also called forth much discus-
sion. It was pretty generally conceded!
that Mr. Murphy's favorites, asters, an-
tirrhinums, salpiglossis, cosmos and
sweet peas, were the best suited to our
local conditions.

Walter James, gardener for W. Henry
Hilliard, was present with a collection
of hyacinths and a splendid plant of
Spirsea Gladstone, and for the latter re-
ceived a cultural certificate. Michael
Curran showed a splendid collection of
calceolarias, the best ever shown here,
and was awarded a cultural certificate.
After the reports from the member*
who visited the Philadelphia and New
York shows, the enjoyable meeting ad-
journed.

Ghent, Belgium. — ^The spring ship-
ments of nursery stock, especially bay
trees, have gone out under difficulties
and have not been so large as was ex-
pected in view of the unusual demand
from America. Business is slow and
vexatious, since all correspondence and
foreign transactions of every kind are
subjected to the scrutiny and pleasure
of both the British and German censors.

London, England. — A special meeting
of the council of the Horticultural
Trades' Association of Great Britain
and Ireland was held May 2 to receive
the report of a special committee ap-
pointed to consider the state of the
nursery and seed trades, and to frame
recommendations as to the best steps to
be taken to protect the interests of the
trade, now and after the war. The com-
mittee submitted a lengthy schedule of
recommendations, which was discussed
clause by clause, after which the coum-
cil passed a resolution approving gen-
erally of the proposals made and agreed
to submit same to the members at
a congress May 24,

Boskoop, Holland. — The reports of
damage to late shipments of bay trees,
boxwoods, araucarias, etc., are alarm-
ing the exporters here, who see a large
part if not all their season's profits
disappearing and an unprecedented
number of claims and disputes to ad-
just. The irregularity and uncertainty
of cable and mail communication makes
the full extent of the losses still a mat-
ter of conjecture, but there is no doubt
it is extremely large.

Amsterdam, Holland. — As an indica-
tion of the difficulty in obtaining space
for nursery stock, bulbs, etc., on the
boats sailing from Eotterdam for Amer-
ica, it can be noted that the total value
of the exports from the Amsterdam dis-
trict to the United States during the
first three months of 1916, according
to invoices certified at the Amsterdam
consulate, was $8,413,029. This total
exceeds all previous totals for the same
period. The amounts for the first three
months of the preceding two years were
as follows: 1914, $5,782,302, and 1915^
$3,009,724.

NEW YOBK.

The lilarket.

This week opened with clear, cool
weather, still most favorable for the
nurserymen and seedsmen, while the
long hours of sunshine will end speed-
ily the short shipments pf cut flowers
of' the last ten days.

There was no surplus of anything but
lilacs at the closing hour May 20 and
prices of nearly everything were satis-
factory to the growers and wholesalers,
while retailers generally reported a sat-
isfactory week and an especially good
weekend. Easter, Mothers' day and
the memorial celebration have been so
close together that the market between
times has not had opportunity to slump
seriously.

Prices for roses of all varieties are
steady or a little stronger, because of
short supply. Selected American Beau-
ties sold at 20 cents May 20, Hadley,
Brunner and Prima Donna at 12 to 15
cents each for the best, with Ophelia
as high as 8 cents for the long-stemmed
stock. Hoosier Beauty, Eussell, Stan-
ley, Key, Mock and Ward were not
overabundant and none, even of the
Killarneys, sold below $10 per thou-
sand.

Carnations have had a splendid sea-
son. Growers must be more than satis-
fied with their returns. Mothers' day
was a* big money-maker for them, as
its influence continued during the fol-
lowing week. There is a flood this
week of outdoor valley, the best of it
selling at $1 per hundred. Longiflorum
lilies have made no advance as yet,
anticipatory of Memorial day demand.
The supply is large and no great in-
crease in the asking price is expected.
Gardenias are scarce and there is no
demand for the few arriving. They
have had a poor season, as most of the
stock has depended on the street mer-
chants for relief. Orchids sell from 40
cents, for gigas, down to 15 and 20
cents. Some large funeral orders last
week aided in steadying the orchid
market, but the day of high prices is
over for the season.

Sweet peas, except the Spencers, have
to be sold at a sacrifice if at all. There
has been much waste of the low-grade
shipments. Some splendid tulips con-
tinue to arrive and prices for these are
well maintained. Daisies are too plen-
tiful, as are irises, pansies and lilac,
especially the latter. Peonies have been
slow, but are coming heavily this week
and are likely to dominate values in
most lines for the next month.

Various Notes.

June 11 the last meeting of the New
York Florists ' Club for the season takes
place. The club's annual outing is
shelved, but the Greek-American Flo-
rists' Association will make a special
effort to beat all records.

June 1 the open-air flower show opens
at Pelham Bay park and will continue
to Sunday. The location is ideal and
a large attendance of the social set
is a certainty.

The FfoHsts^ Review

May 25, 1916.

WASHINaTON, D. C.

BOCHESTER, N. T.

Tbe Market.

Business last week was good. Stock
was plentiful and there were many
large decorations and plenty of first-
class funeral work. The only sear-
cities noted were in orchids and valley.
Orchids sold quickly on arrival at 50
cents to $1 each. Greenhouse valley
continues to bring $5 per hundred, but
there has been more or less complaint
against its quality. Outdoor valley
still is to be had in good quality and
moves well at 50 cents to $2 per hun-
dred.

Gardenias are overplentiful. They
bring from $1 to $2 per dozen, but are
offered on the streets at 10 cents each.
There is an abundant supply of carna-
tions at $1 to $3 per hundred. The
market has been good and they clean
up well daily. There has been no
shortage in roses, and while a few move
at 12 cents each there are plenty to be
had at much lower prices. Short-
stemmed stock can be bought at $5 per
thousand.

The summer crop of sweet peas is
coming along in fine shape and these
flowers are in good demand at 50 cents
to $1 per hundred. Gladioli are selling
well at from $5 to $8, America, Augusta
and Brenchleyensis are good. Pink
snapdragon is plentiful and sells at $3
to $6 per hundred. Some extra fine
white and yellow snapdragon is fbeing
offered at $6 to $10 per hundred. The
local peony crop has shown up with a
vengeance.

Various Notes.

Growers are finding it difficult to
handle the enormous crop of peonies
which has made its appearance. The
Gude Bros. Co. had several men sort-
ing and packing these flowers as they
came from tfle houses, but they did not
seem to catch up. On one day alone
this firm sent more than 6,000 -.first-class
peonies to Philadelphia, New York and
Boston. Other growers are doing the
same thing, so that the local market is
materially lightened. A price of $4 to
$8 per hundred is being maintained.

The retailers are well pleased with
the business they now are enjoying on
account of commencements. Washing-
ton probably has more young ladies'
schools, seminaries, academies and col-
leges than any other city in the coun-
try. At a recent commencement one
order called for sixty-five shower bou-
quets of red roses, and another order
has been booked by a local house for
nearly 100 shower bouquets for a sim-
ilar affair.

The Brookland rose show, scheduled
for the latter part of this week, has
been postponed until Monday and Tues-
day next.

J. H. Small & Son has booked the
Grayson-Gordon wedding, which is to
take place in New York. It is expected
that the wedding will call for large
numbers of floral remembrances.

The colored population of Washing-
ton is staging a floral parade May 27.
Contestants must be colored, but any
firm may enter delivery cars with col-
ored drivers. If such cars win, the
drivers are to be awarded the prizes.

C. L. L.

The Market.

Heavy rain storms visited Eoehester
last week and did considerable dam-
age. The ground became so water-
soaked that farmers and growers were
at a standstill in outdoor work. The
weather cleared Friday and Saturday,
however, and business was quite good.
Business for the week was fairly good
and included some large wedding deco-
rations. Funeral work was heavy and
the stores were well occupied with
counter trade. The filling of window
boxes and jardinieres is well under
way and much bedding stock is being
sold.

The cut flower trade is brisk and the
daily shipments arrive in good order.
Some fine outdoor Pheasant's Eye nar-
cissi are in the market and sell well.
Darwin tulips, with stems about three
feet long | and with many shades of
color, sell Well. Jonquils are gradually
falling of(. American BeUuty roses
sell well, and they have a good, rich
color. Other varieties, such as Russell,
Taft, the Killarneys, Sunburst and
Ward, move freely. White and yellow
daisies sell well. Pink snapdragon is
selling nicely and is used freely in
basket work, but lilac moves slowly.
Sweet peas are plentiful in pink and
white and they sell easily. Easter
lilies are in good condition; callas
move freely. Valley and orchids are
used considerably in corsages. Greens
are plentiful.

Various Notes.

H. P. Neun, of North street, had

an effective window display last week
consisting of red azaleas and ciboti-
ums. Business at Mr, Neun's North
street store is good, as well as at the
store in Hotel Rochester.

George T. Boucher says electric
signs are the best means of advertis-
ing his business; so he recently gave
his order for an outdoor sign. He
has placed window boxes around his
East Avenue and East Main street
windows.

We now are confronted by Memorial
day. According to reports from local
growers, there is a large quantity of
stock ready for the day. As usual,
the school children will contribute
thousands of plants to be placed on
the graves of soldiers.

H. E. Rogers, of Spencerport, N. Y.,
is making a fine display at his green-
houses. Thousands of geraniums,
many in bloom, and a large quantity
of filled hanging baskets make a good
showing.

The good Easter experienced by
growers in Rochester and vicinity has
stimulated greenhouse building. J. B.
Keller Sons have contracted for a
pipe-frame cyclamen house, 21x58 feet.
Charles Curtis, of Irondequoit, has
material for an iron-frame chrysanthe-
mum and sweet pea house, 20x58 feet;
H. S. Morgan, of Auburn, two 26-foot
additions; D. S. George, of Penfield,
two cast-iron boilers to replaee a hori-
zontal - tubular boiler that proved un-
satisfactory. This last-mentioned or-
der was placed with the Lord &
Burnham Co. local office.

Salter Bros, report good business.
They are making a good display of '
bedding stock. H. J. H.

Decatur, HI. — The new greenhouses of
Daut Bros, are being rushed to comple-
tion. Peter Hus, of Chicago, is one of
the builders.

Paducali, Ky. — At a recent meeting
of the park commissioners a contract
was let to Schmaus Bros, to furnish
trees, shrubs, etc., for the park during
the present year.

McKinney, Tex. — Memorial day in
the south was May 13, but it rained and
the local committee postponed the ob-
servance a week, thereby inflicting a
considerable loss on florists who had
laid in a good-sized stock of cut flow-
ers. Even those of the public who had
ordered in advance did not want to
accept delivery after the postponement.
The call for flowers for Memorial day
is increasing annually.

Alvln, Tex. — The cape jasmine season
is in full swing, the first shipments
having gone north May 15 and in quan-
tity beginning May 22, The prospect
for Memorial day is excellent, as more
orders than usual are on file with the
principal shippers. The high prices of
carnations in some of the northern mar-
kets for Mothers' day has helped ship-
pers of cape jasmine buds, as offering
a cheap substitute for Memorial day.
The quality of the stock this season is
excellent and the crop large.

Bisbee, Ariz, — ^^L. Phillips, an east-
erner, has opened a handsome store on
Main street.

Fort Smith, Ark. — Every greenhouse
in the city sustained damage in a big
storm May 20. At George Rye's, on
the Plaza, nearly every pane of glass
was shattered. The same occurred at
his Grand avenue greenhouse. He car-
ried insurance. B. B. Freeman, 202
Towson avenue, sustained a loss ranging
from $175 to $200 as a result of the
hail smashing the glass and ruining the
plants.

, Dallas, Tex. — The trade still is talk-
ing of the splendid sucQess that attended
the cooperative advertising at Easter,
when a full-page ad was printed in the
Times-Herald. The copy was a general
boost for flowers for Easter, nothing
specific being possible where so many
participate, and the page carried the
names of the Dallas Floral Co., the
Lang Floral & Nursery Co., the McKin-
ney Nursery Co., the Lone Star Seed &
Floral Co., the Rische Floral Co. and A.
Harris & Co. It was the first time any-
thing of this kind has been done in
Dallas, but it will not be the last time.

OBITUARY

Patrick Larkin.

Patrick Larkin, or "Paddy," as he
was familiarly known, florist and poli-
tician of Kansas City, Mo., died May 16
at St. Joseph's hospital of injuries re-
ceived in an automobile accident twelve
days previously. The deceased, who
was in his thirty-fifth yea,r, was deliv-
ering flowers May 4 by automobile,
from his store at 1208 Baltimore ave-
nue. According to the press, Mr.
Larkin was standing in the body of
the car and was thrown head foremost
against the street curbing when the
car rounded a curve sharply. He suf-
fered concussion of the brain and was
taken to St. Luke's hospital, later be-
ing removed to St. Joseph's hospital.

For many years Mr, Larkin was a
power in Fifth Ward politics and prac-
tically controlled the Italian vote. The
Fifth is known as Kansas City's "OLit-
tle Italy." He was born and reared in
the ward and knew nearly every man,
woman and child there. Two years ago
he was' secretary of the city police
board.

Mr. Larkin supported a widowed
mother, who survives him. He was a
member of the Kansas City Athletic
Club, the Elks, Woodmen of the World
and the Eagles. Burial was at Mount
St. Mary's cemetery.

' John Eral.

John Krai, for twenty years mana-
ger of the wholesale cut flower business
of Moore, Hentz & Nash, New York,
after two weeks of intense suffering
from pneumonia, died at his home in
Port Chester, N. Y., Sunday morning,
May 21, leaving a wife and daughter.
His age was 42.

Practically Mr. Krai's whole busi-
ness life had been spent in the florists'
business. Commencing in the employ
of Hobson, a retail florist then on I^f th
avenue, and afterwards two and one-
half years with Alex, McConnell, he
began his experience in the wholesale
business over twenty years ago, with
the New York Cut Flower Co., going
with the firm of Moore, Hentz & Nash
upon its formation. He was held in
the highest esteem by the members of
the firm and by everyone who knew
him.

The funeral services, at Rye, N. Y.,
May 24, were largely attended by his
associates and many floral offerings at-
tested their respect and affection. Mr.
Krai was a thirty-second degree Mason,
and chief of the fire department of
Port Chester. He was buried with
Masonic honors. J, A. S.

Alfred Boss.

Alfred Ross, a pioneer of Wichita,
Kan., and head of the Ross Bros. Seed^
House, died unexpectedly of heart fail-
ure at his hom-e in Wichita on the morn-
ing of May 14.

The deceased was born July 23, 1849,
at Mill Creek, Va. His father, brother
and himself were millers. In 1884 Mr.
Ross and his brother, J. M. Ross, moved
to Widhita and opened a produce and
seed business at 319 East Douglas ave-
nue. Within three years the firm en-
gaged in the seed business almost ex-
clusively.

Alfred Ross never married. Until
three years ago he made his home with

his brother, J. M., and after the death
of the latter in 1903, with his sister-in-
law.

He was successful in the business and
owned considerable property in and
around Wichita. It is probable that the
business will be pontinued under the
old name, under the management of
L. B. McCausland, who has been with
the house seventeen years and now is
manager of the concern, which is a
member of the American Seed Trade
Association.

Funeral services were held May 16.
The pallbearers were L. B. McCausland,
F. W. Brose, J. Christopher, W. Christo-
pher, J. Crane, Charles Dye and M. J.
Koenigsman.

George Haigb.

George Haigh, of Saginaw, Mich.,
died May 16 of paralysis at the homp
of his son near Saginaw. Mr. Haigh
was born in Yorkshire, England, in
1840^and immigrated to America with
his parents in 1859. They located at
Hamilton, Ont., where he met and mar-
ried Miss Ruth Cull, in 1860. Shortly
after the marriage Mr. Haigh moved to
Detroit, where he found employment
as a gardener. In 1898 he engaged in
the florists' business at Evart, Mich,,
and carried it on successfully until 1911,
when he sold the business and retired,
moving to Saginaw to live with his son.
His son and two daughters survive.

Charles A. Marquet.

"Charles A. Marquet, formerly presi-
dent of the village of Rhinebeck, N. Y.,

and one of the most wid^^ly known
violet growers in that section, dropped
dead in a yard near his home May 13.
Death was caused by heart disease.
The deceased was in his sixty-fifth year
and is survived by his wife and one
daughter.

John Wright, V. M. H.
Many American gardeners of British
nativity will regret to learn of the
death. May 2, of John Wright, V. M. H.,
for many years editor of the Journal
of Horticulture, London, one of the old-
est of British gardening papers, Mr.
Wright was born in 1836, so that he
was in his eightieth year.

Carl Oilmore,
Carl Gilmore, a well known grower of
Kenton, O,, was found dead in his room
May 15. He had been in poor health
for a long time.

STAMP TAXES TO GO,

The administration forces are
thought to have decided to abolish the
stamp taxes provided for in the so-
called war emergency revenue law of
October 22, 1914, to take effect July 1,
This would do away with the necessity
for placing revenue stamps upon ex-
press receipts, bills of lading, convey-
ances, notes, telegrams and other legal
and commercial documents. The spe-
cial taxes will also be eliminated and
this will relieve commission florists and
florists' exchanges from the payment
of the tax provided for them.

I MOTT-LY MUSINGS |

^iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiimli

Pyfer & Olsem, of Wilmette, 111., re-
port a steady increase in local trade, in
addition to the daily city shipments.

The Holton & Hunkel Co., of Milwau-
kee, believe the sale of cut flowers for
Mothers' day exceeded that of Easter,
which is pleasing information. Mrs.
Russell roses, grown at the Deer Park
place, were of exquisite color and had
perfect foliage.

The C. C. PoUworth Co., of Mil-
waukee, handles considerable landscape
work, which provides an outlet for much
of the stock carried. Every department
was busy,

Sol Garland, of Des Plaines, 111., has
built a corrugated boiler shed 34x70
feet, to eliminate the risk of fire, which
created such havoc not long ago.

Frank Garland, of Des Plaines, finds
a demand for all the adiantum he can
grow, an improved type of A. decorum.

David Vogt, of Coldwater, Mich.,
has a snug place that bespeaks thrift.
It is situated in a small park and is
decidedly attractive at all seasons of
the year. Mr. Vogt is a veteran of the
old school, one of his pets being a
grand Marechal Niel rose. He is ably
assisted in the management of the busi-
ness by his wife and son.

W, J, & M, S, Vesey, of Fort Wayne,
Ind., consider cattleyas a leading fea-
ture of the business and give figures that
make interesting reading. Two houses,
each about 24x90 feet, produced 3,600
blooms of Cattleya Trianse during the
season; a total cut of 8,000 blooms was
recorded for the year. Samuel Hudson,
the grower, is particularly proud of a

specimen of Cattleya gigas, carrying
fourteen buds and blooms, in a 4-inch
pot. C. Mendeli, a beautiful flower, but
not commercially popular, is unique in
that it is not counterfeited as the
purples. White scale, the greatest
enemy, is kept under by careful watch-
ing and spraying.

W. D, Rettic, of South Bend, Ind,,
expressed the opinion that the demand
for Mothers' day flowers eventually
would be similar to that of any other
red-letter day and would depend largely
on what the retail.er has to offer. He
bases this opinion on this year's sales,
A shipment of carnations of inferior
grade was received. As the price was
high, he pushed the sale of flowering
plants to good advantage. The idea
is, he had the plants.

The Beyer Floral Co, and the South
Bend Floral Co., of South Bend, were
well pleased with saleS and have fine
stock for Memorial day business.

The West View Floral Co., of Elk-
hart, Ind., find the Hill range, recently
acquired, a big asset to the business.
At the present rate it will be necessary
to stall further expand. Landscape
work is heavy.

The Van Aken Bros, store at Elkhart
reports good business. The range at
Coldwater, Mich., is being enlarged to
meet the increasing business. Messrs.
Van Aken are giving up market garden-
ing and substituting the growing of
high-grade alfalfa-fed cattle, which they
figure will be more profitable. They
have a fine stand of this profitable
clover. W. M.

The trade is asked to contribute funds
for the use of Miss Jarvis and her Moth-
ers' Day Association, which exploits
the white carnation as the official flower
of the day.

Nearly everyone in the selling end of
the business approves of having special
flower days at intervals of two or three
weeks, like Easter, Mothers' day and
Memorial day this year, and votes to
make it custom.

One of the European items no longer
available because of the war is the sup-
ply of immigrating gardeners. Some of
the eastern concerns that, have been using
and placing these European-trained men
are said to feel the shortage keenly.

Not often » is a florist asked to pay
for glass a price that consists of a' single
discount, and that discount less than
ninety per cent. But current quotations
on the first three brackets, D. S. A., are
not below eighty-nine per cent off the list.

The committee on exhibitions of the
Massachusetts Horticultural Society be-
lieves in taking time by the forelock, as
it last week issued a pamphlet containing
the preliminary schedule of prizes for the
spring exhibition to be held March 21 to
25, 1917.

It is reported that one of the leading
Boskoop exporters of • florists ' plants
has a representative making headquarters
at Chicago, engaged with a stenographer
in adjusting claims for losses on spring
imports. It is said these claims exceed
200 in number, most of them being on
small lots, insured, and the effort is to
protect the exporter by transferring the
claims to the insurer.

CAN YOU BEAT IT?

The value of a publication to its ad-
vertisers is in direct proportion to its
value to its readers; if a publication
cannot maintain its circulation without
employing solicitors it will not have
the value to advertisers that is found in
the one that can command prompt mail
renewal of subscriptions. Like these,
from east and west:

The enclosed dollar for another year's sub-
scription to Tbe Review is being sent to you
with our heartiest congratulations and to show
you in a small way our appreciation of your
splended paper. — Lawrence A. Whitford, Stow,
N. Y., May 20, 1016.

In renewing -our subacription to The Review we
would like to say that we admire your up-to-
date publication.--Shenandoah Nurseries, Shenan-
doah, la.. May 17, 1916.

Please renew our subscription for one year.
We do not know how we would get along with-
out The Review, as it al'ways is up to the minute
with the news. — 6. L. Curry & Sons, Valencia,
Pa., May 17, 1016.

For many years The Eeview has dis-
continued sending the paper when the
subscription expires and it does not
employ subscription canvassers; a
smooth canvasser can induce almost
any kind of man to subscribe but can-
not make him read the paper or buy
the advertised goods.

FOR THE BLOOMINGTON SHOW.

At the recent annual meeting of the
Illinois State Florists' Association, at
Moline, it was decided to hold a fall
meeting and, if possible, a small show
in connection with it, at Bloomington,
111. Since then A. Washburn & Sons,
of Bloomington, have stated that they
will contribute $250 towards premiums
for a fall show to be held there. Secre-
tary J. F. Ammann considers this ex-
tremely liberal on their part and has
taken it upon himself to write the mem-
bers asking for a small contribution
towards raising a fund to the extent
of at least the same amount.

"We think," says Secretary Am-
mann, "a premium list carrying $500
will give us a creditable show for a
beginner. Won't you please pledge us
something? Just say on enclosed postal
card what you will agree to donate —
cash from $5 to $10 or a definite num-
ber of roses, carnations or mum blooms
by November 1, 1916." A reply postal
is enclosed with his letter.

CREATING DEMAND.

An interesting experiment is being
tried by French & Salm, of Union
Grove, Wis., who devote their entire
establishment to the Mrs. Russell rose.
Believing that better demand and bet-
ter prices, though both already are good,
will follow a wider acquaintance with
the rose, tbe growers have undertaken
the unprecedented work of populariz-
ing the rose through advertising it. A
means to this end was exhibiting to
the public at the Philadelphia and
New York flower shows. Later a trade
paper campaign to the retailers, in ad-
dition to what their commission man
does, was begun with a full page ad-
vertisement in The Review for May 4.
As a further step in the plan, French
& Salm participated in the Mothers'
day cooperative advertising of the re-
tail florists of the near-by city of
Racine, taking one of the spaces for
the same copy that had appeared in The
Review, only changing the phrases that
applied to trade buyers and substituting
a head directing that purchases be
made through Rehl & Benz, proprietors

of the Flower Shop, where the French
& Salm Russells ane a regular item
of stock.

Of course the grower can not go be-
yond certain limits in the effort to
create public demand on the retailer
and by him on the commission man,
but it is interesting to note that in the
Bacine attempt the results were so
good that Rehl & Benz wrote expressing
appreciation and stating that not only
did calls for Mrs. Russell increase
greatly for Mothers' day, but that since
then they havp handled more Russell
than any other rose. Other retailers at
Eacine also have been buying Russell
in larger quantity than before.

The factor that heretofore has de-
terred growers from attempts to in-
fluence the public and the retail dis-
tributors has been that there is as yet
no practicable way of branding or
trade-marking the grower's stock.
French & Salm have not been deterred
by the fact that they are not the only
growers of Russell and that others
also profit by the publicity.

CHICAGO.

The Market.

Business during the last week has
been good. That does not mean that it
could not have been better, but that
the tipie of the year, the quality of the
stock and the supply considered, there
is little room for any complaint. This
is more especially true of shipping busi-
ness; city trade in cut flowers is not
notably active for the season.

A touch of real summer weather the
first part of this week brought out the
street venders, who disposed of large
quantities of inferior lilacs and sweet
peas.

Good Beauties have experienced a
brisk demand, but quality, generally
speaking, is decidedly poor. Roses, re-
gardless of variety, were none too plen-
tiful. Russell, Ophelia and Sunburst
enjoyed their usual popularity, but, as
a matter of fact, it has not been neces-
sary to push any roses with the possible
exception of short Wards.

The supply of carnations was much
easier than during the preceding week,
but cleared regularly. Quality is gen-
erally good for the time of the year,
but there are still too many splits.
Valley continues on the short side of
the market. It is almost impossible to
get cattleyas. This crop of Easter lilies
is about done for and callas have re-
tired to the wings. Sweet peas are in
heavy supply. Really fancy stock
clears easily, but the numerous off-
grades are inclined to drag. There is
a good demand for daisies, particularly
yellow. The supply of snapdragons and
calendulas is not large and those re-
ceived meet with a normal demand.
Daffodils and jonquils have ceased to
figure in market considerations. Span- ,
ish iris clears with little difficulty.
There are a few greenhouse gladioli on
the market, but not enough to cut any
figure. Narcissus poeticus may be
found in small quantities, but it will
soon be off the market. White lilac is
in small supply and less demand. Pur-
ple lilac in large supply fares much
better.

Peonies, though not unusually plenti-
ful for this date, are seen on every
hand and meet with a ready demand.
Large quantities have accumulated in
cold storage in preparation for the big

WE HAVE PLENTY OF

Stock for You

ORDER ENOUGH FOR A BIG MEMORIAL DAY'S BUSINESS

ONT let anything keep you back
this Memorial day— it will give
you a chance to make a fine in-
crease over last year if you order enough.

SPENCER SWEET PEAS

We are western headquarters for Sweet Peas— a large supply in all
colors. They are making a hit everywhere.

A FINE CROP OF ROSES

Remember our Mrs. Russell— the largest supply in America. A won-
derful shipper. Also, you will find here a large and fine supply of Milady,
Killarney Brilliant, Ophelia and White Killarney. We are doing a splendid
shipping business on these Roses every day because our customers like every
shipment.

CARNATIONS

This is the time of year when you must be careful where you order Car-
nations. Nothing but the best will do. Ours are strictly high-grade.

PEONIES

$4.00 to $8.00 per 100

There is, perhaps, greater difference in the value of Peonies
than in any other flower. Given the right varieties, grown and
shipped by men who know how, there is nothing that makes a bet-
ter show for the money; but if from men who never learned the
"how," Peonies are likely to be absolutely worthless by the time the
retailer unpacks them.

Our Peonies are RIGHT in every particular — you'll make good
money on them.

good stock.

MAT 26. 1916. The Florists^ Review 25

We are making ALL shipments, so do not be afraid on
account of the express strike. If you will send in your
orders early it will help us, as everything has to go out
on special wagons.

Read This Carefully

Many points will not accept shipments to Chicago, therefore
there is a Peony shortage here, but in placing your orders
with us you will absolutely be taken care of, as we ALREADY
are assured of our supply, and will have even more than
last season.

You will not be taking any chances at all if you send your
orders to Peony Headquarters, which is KENNICOTT BROS.
COMPANY. Don't gamble on the other fellow's chances of
getting the stock in the last minute. We have our Peonies
and are ready now to take care of you.

Because we seem to plug Peonies, do not think that we have
^ not got all other flowers suitable for Memorial Day, too.
Try us on Cape Jasmine, Sweet Peas, Russell and all other
roses. Our flowers are all coming in by special trucks, and
we are getting every order out. We have one of the largest
supplies in this market and can take care of you right.

Memorial day demand. Cape jasmine
is the latest arrival and buyers on the
Chicago market are not slow to show
their appreciation of the excellent stock
being received.

Green goods are moving in a satis-
factory manner, but flat ferns are ex-
tremely scarce, owing to the refusal of
the express companies at many points to
receive perishable goods consigned to
Chicago.

The Express Strike.

Considering that all the drivers em-
ployed by the express companies in
Chicago struck without notice May 16,
leaving the market without either de-
livery or pickup service, the trade has
been doing wonderfully well. The first
day it was every man for himself, but
the trade promptly organized the
Wholesale Florists' Special Cartage
Service, with E. C. Amling as treasurer
and Fred Lautenschlager as general
inanager, the latter giving his time and
experience without cost, for the good
of the cause. May 18 it was necessary
to send motor trucks to Eiverside,
Harvey and Hammond to put outgoing
shipments on the trains, but since then
Heinlein cartage wagons have been
getting the outgoing shipments to the
depots without serious delay. The
strikers have permitted wagons marked
"Funeral Flowers" to pass their
pickets. It has not been possible to
make trains with the accuracy of the
regular express company service, espe-
cially the early trains, but by early eve-
ning everything gets to its depot.

More difficulty has been experienced
with the incoming shipments than with
the out freight. With the first tie-up
the express companies notified their
agents everywhere to refuse all ship-

ments of perishable stock for Chicago.
That made trouble. In the course of
time each wholesaler and grower com-
pleted individual arrangements for get-
ting the stock to market, many by
motor car, others by rail to a nearby
town and thence by motor truck to the

city and store. Almost before these
means were thoroughly organized Mr.
Lautenschlager 's wagons began hauling
freight from as well as to the stations
and arrangements with express compa-
nies and growers had to be revised in
the interest of speed and economy. On

the whole the situation was splendidly
in hand by May 22 and no trouble is
expected, although the quantity of
stock to be shipped out May 27 and 28
will be something enormous.

While there is little danger of the
Memorial day shipments being delayed,
wisdom will prompt most buyers to
order their stock shipped a few hours
earlier than usual — it will be unwise to
wait till the last train this time.

May 24 the indications were that the
drivers would return to work at any
moment, in which case service immedi-
ately would become normal.

Various Notes.

A flower store in which no detail is
overlooked that goes to the making of
a really first-class establishment will be
opened in the North Edgewater hotel
building, June 15, by .John Mangel.
The fixtures, which will correspond in
every particular with those in the
Palmer house store, are being furnished
by Buchbinder Bros. Mr. Mangel has
a way of never doing things by halves
and this latest venture will prove that
he makes no exceptions.

After applying himself most diligent-
ly to his business for twenty-five years
in the same location, Peter Sroczynski,
1523 North Harding avenue, has come
to the conclusion that it is time he was
taking a rest and enjoying the fruits of
his labors. With this end in view, he
is offering his place for sale and mak-
ing plans to retire to a picturesque
suburban home and spend his declining
years smoking his pipe in his chimney
corner or motoring about the country.

The Warren Park Floral Co., of
Cicero, was incorporated last week with
a capital stock of $2,500. Those named
as incorporators were .John Grant, Alex-
ander Grant and William Scott.

Elaborate preparations for the rap-
idly approaching season of fashionable
weddings is occupying the time of the
George Wienhoeber store force, 41
South Wabash avenue.

by the express drivers' strike Peter
Reinberg put his new light truck on
the road a little earlier than intended.
The Eeinberg trucks made several trips
to out-of-town junctions last week to
avoid strike-bound depots.

Charles Erne says the peony growers
will be the chief sufferers from the ex-
press drivers' strike, many of their
shipments having been refused "by the
express companies, while others lay for
days in the local express offices without
notice to the consignee.

One of the principal effects of the
strike of express drivers, according to
A. T. Pyfer, was a shortage of ferns
early this week. Incoming shipments
were lost sight of in the great accumu-
lation of freight in the express offices.

There has been such a steady growth
in the business of W. L. Palinsky, 2865
Palmer avenue, that another and a
larger delivery car will be necessary,
according to Herman Wallace. Funeral
work in particular has been unusually
heavy.

Strike or no strike, the E. C. Amling
Co. comments that its sales last week
exceeded those of a year ago by $3,500.

An excellent demand for corsages in
which cattleyas figure is reported, by
O. J. Friedman, in the Congress hotel.
He also finds a ready sale for the more
expensive conservatory and sun parlor
accessories.

War or no war, Winterson's Seed
Store had advices that its Belgian bays
reached New York May 19. They are
rolling westward now.

C. W. . McKellar, while far from be-
ing himself again, is once more able to
be out.

Work on the east half of the new
Wittbold apartment house is progress-
ing rapidly. The west half will follow
at once and will be completed during
the summer, so that by autumn the
Wittbold retail store will be in ex-
tremely fine new quarters.

E. F. Kurowski, president of the
John C. Moninger Co., May 20 received
delivery of a new Cadillac motor car
that gives him and his son, E. E.
Kurowski, much pleasure.

The floor space of the University
Florist, 1121 East Fifty-fifth street,
H. C. Mulder, proprietor, has been prac-
ticallj* doubled by the removal of a
partition. The depth of the store is
now seventy-five feet, with a separate
work room and cut flower room, while
new electric lighting fixtures add much
to the attractiveness of the place. The
surrounding neighborhood has been
building up rapidly during the last year
with high grade apartment buildings,
and Mr. Mulder reports an unusually
active general demand.

A new, panel-topped Vim auto truck
belonging to the Everette R. Peacock
Co. has appeared on the streets.

There can be no doubt that H. B.
Kennicott, of Kennicott Bros. Co., is
satisfied that the Saxon car is good,
as he bought his second last week.

A new touring car adds to the pleas-
ure being derived from life by Joseph
Weis, 3445 Southport avenue.

Complaint has been made that some-
one with a perverted sense of humor
has been annoying members of the re-
tail trade with counterfeit telephone
C. O. D. orders. So far, these fake or-
ders have been confined to cut flowers,
but even at that there is no joke in
delivering a box of cut flowers to a
residence only to be met with the state-
ment that no order had been given.

BALTIMOBE.

The Market.

The weather last week continued un-
seasonably cool and business in general
was fair. No large quantity of stock
is arriving and prices, while not high,
are fairly steady. Roses have shortened
in supply, but carnations are holding
up well; their keeping qualities, owing
to the weather, are rather above the
average. Sweet peas are in good sup-
ply, but their stems are shortening.
Peonies are to be had and are in good
demand. They come principally from
points south of this city. The local
crop is rather backward and, other than
red, few are coming in. Indications are
for a full crop about May 30.

The bedding plant trade is at its
height and every one engaged in this
line reports an extremely busy season.

Club Meeting.

The regular meeting of the Garden-
ers' and Florists' Club was held May
22. As the night was stormy, the at-
tendance was light.

Miss O'Neal, of the Women's Civic
League, was present and asked the club
to cooperate with the league in holding
an amateur rose show this spring. The
club heartily endorsed the project and
offered the use of the club rooms. A
committee consisting of I. H. Moss, F.
C. Bauer William F. Ekas, George Mor-
rison and William J. Johnston was ap-
pointed to assist in the affair. It is de-
sired to secure from club members suit-
able plants, both decorative and flower-
ing, tor the hall decoration at the show.
Those who wish to aid should get in
touch with Mr. Moss and advise him as
to what they may send.

Various Notes.

The Hamilton Flower Shop has been
using large quantities of Darwin tulips
for window displays and finds these are
in greater demand each year. The pub-
lic is becoming educated to the possi-
bilities of this late spring flower.

The Baltimore Cut Flower Co. has
been handling a fine lot of Eoosevelt
ferns in regular sizes and specimen
plants. These are of good quality and
sell quickly at a good figure.

Samuel Feast & Sons have set aside a
section of their display window for the
showing of a good line of bird houses.

Max Fierstein, of the Moore Seed Co.,
Philadelphia, was a visitor last week
and said the surest sign of good busi-
ness was the promptness with which
florists are paying their bills.

Mr. and Mrs. Harry Ekas celebrated
the twenty-fifth anniversary of their
marriage May 17, with a reception to
their friends and relatives at their

PHILADELPHIA.

The Market.

The cut flower market has undergone
a decided change not usual during the
second half of May. The supply of
flowers has decreased decidedly, caus-
ing a shortage at times. This is due to
a number of causes. Many growers
with houses not particularly well venti-
lated threw out their flowering plants
after the hot spell of a fortnight ago;
others devoted their space to bedding
plants or vegetables; still others are
off crop. The most potent influence of
all is the lateness of the peony, relied
on at this season, when showy decora-
tive flowers are needed. Usually by
May 24 local peonies are quite plenti-
ful; today they are scarce. This is par-
ticularly unfortunate, as the peony at
Memorial day is a necessity. There
will be peonies next week, but they
will not be plentiful enough to fill all
orders, and this means a certain amount
of dissatisfaction and loss of business,
although it also means a livelier market
for other flowers. Take it all in all,
the wholesalers are inclined to think
that the interests of the business are
best furthered by local peonies reach-
ing their height May 25; this will not
be the case this season.

To return to the cut flower market
for the preeent week, the May proces-
sions in the churches have had a stimu-

lating effect. The cool weather and a
certain amount of entertaining have
helped. There is no especial change in
the supply, excepting that carnations
seem to have gone off a bit and that
Spanish irises and outdoor valley are
nearing the end of their season. Prices
generally are better than usual at this
time; so, too, is the quality of much of
the stock, aided by the cooling.

The Brothers Midiell.

The problem that confronted the

Henry F. Michell Co. was how to fill
plant orders fully, and on time. The
policy of the house had been to buy
from its customers, a policy of reciproc-
ity that had borne fruit. Every cus-
tomer liked to have the house take some
of his product in part payment of his
account. There were, however, difficul-
ties. It was extremely hard to fill or-
ders properly. Sometimes the growers
were slow; sometimes it was necessary
to get stock from several of them to fill
an order. This required time and

blocked the store at busy seasons. In
this emergency, the Michell place at
Andalusia was planned. It had other
features — the development of the pereri-
nial, advertising value and so forth.

To put the producing end of the busi-
ness on its own merits, the place at
Andalusia was run separately from thf
store. It is owned and operated by
Henry F. Michell and Fred J. Michell,
and what it produces is sold to the
Henry F. Michell Co. Of course, this is
merely a matter of bookkeeping that is
given here only to show that the place
must be self-supporting. It is doubtful
whether either of the brothers knew

tainly the street did not. For instance,
the street expected that great quanti-
ties of vegetables would be grown there,
tomatoes, eggplants and so forth. Yet
today there are practically no vegeta-
bles on the place and Mr. Eichester as-
sures me that they play no part in the
production.

Do you want to know just what is
going on at Andalusia! It is extreme-
ly interesting, and I will try briefly to
give you an idea of it. There are a
dozen greenhouses, connected by a long

corridor house through the middle, that
are filled with pot plants. Most of
these plants are of the soft-wooded bed-
ding type — geraniums, including Helen
Michell, salvias, coleus, heliotropes, etc.
Then there are great quantities of roses,
cannas, dahlias, cyclamens and hardy
chrysanthemums. A large motor truck
makes daily trips from Andalusia to
the store and then delivers plant orders
in outlying districts. A team takes
the express orders to the Torresdale
station.

Outdoors active operations are in full
9>7ing. Frank B. Michell was hard at
work with a force of men planting gla-
diolus bulbs. Two hundred thousand,
I think he said, were to go in the
ground. Beyond these a field of peo-
nies— apparently last season's divisions
were coming up. Opposite was a large
field of Spanish irises, while beyond
lay the newly acquired 9-acre farm,
just being plowed. The advertising
value of the place rests in the hand-
some lawn, with its beds of choice ever-
greens and cannas, which lies along the
New York tracks of the Pennsylvania
railroad. The natural advantage is en-
hanced by a unique, white-lettered en-
ameled sign, which Mr. Eichester point-
ed out with a smile. It bore the fa-
miliar words: "Always Sow Michell 's
Evergreen Lawn Grass Seed." The
perennial bed contained specimens of
all the perennials grown on the place.
Only the early blue phlox, divaricata,
and the hardy golden alyssum were yet
in bloom.

has made it a lifelong rule never to
require that anything be said twice

Various Notes.

Adolph Farenwald^ vice-chairman of
the National Flower Show Committee,
believes that the profit on the show held
in this city March 25 to April 2 will
reach $12,000— not $2,000 as stated last
week.

A. H. Pike plans to sell his retail
flower store at Bryn Mawr, Pa., in order
to return to England to serve in the
British army. This will be a great loss,
as Mr. and Mrs. Pike have built up a
successful business with the Bryn Mawr
College during the last few years.

M. J. Callahan says that the cool
weather has retarded outdoor planting
until now. This week it is in full swing.
Mr. Callahan says that cut flowers have
been in active demand. His window of
blue irises, yellow daisies and ferns was
pleasing.

The Market.

In regard to supply, the market was
excellent, but the demand was not up
to what it should have been. It seemed
that retailers had only funeral orders
to work on, as light-colored stock was
in good demand. There was plenty of
it at most reasonable prices. Weather
conditions were fine. The consignments
of the week were heavy, especially in
carnations. The • prices of carnations
were considerably lower than during the
week before. All varieties were of fine
quality. Eoses, too, are in large sup-
ply, with prices somewhat low, except
on extra select stock of Russell,
Ophelia, Ward and Beauty. The daily
shipments of peonies are heavy and the
prices on these are down to $3 per
hundred. Texas shipments of cape jas-
mines began last week and from now
on there will be large daily supplies.
Callas and Easter lilies continue to ar-
rive in large supply. Splendid lots of
Shasta daisies arrive each day. Valley,
snapdragons, irises, sweet peas and a
fine lot of gladioli make up the daily
market. Extra good smilax brings 20
cents per string. Prices on other greens
are unchanged.

Various Notes.

The Retail Florists' Association held
its monthly meeting May 15, at the Mis-
sion Inn Garden. Much important busi-
ness was transacted and the Easter and
Mothers' day business was reviewed.
The attendance was fairly good.

Alex Siegel spent a day at Chicago
last week, looking over the wholesale
market. He reports splendid market
conditions there.

Frank X. Gorly, of Grimm & Gorly,
was confined to bed last week, but is
around again. During his illness the
buying at the market was done by his
brother, Vincent. This firm had a busy
week with funeral work.

According to Charles Young, C. Young

expects that this will be a banner year
in all branches of the business.

Martin Reukauf, representing H.

is at the southeast corner of Eighth
and Olive streets.

One of the busiest stores along Wash-
ington avenue is that of the St. Louis
Seed Co., which was taxed to its ca-
pacity last week. The large force of
salesmen could hardly serve the many
customers and Messrs. Bau and Hum-
mert were pressed into service.

The St. Louis County Growers' Asso-
ciation will hold its monthly meeting
June 1, at the Eleven Mile House. The
installation of the new officers will take
place and a program for the summer
meetings will be arranged.

David Qeddis, head of the flower de-
partment at Vandervoort 's, reports a
heavy sale of plants and bulbs last
week, especially in hardy perennials.

Frank Sanders, who has charge of the
Grand Leader flower department, says
business was good in plants and hardy
stock and never before have the sales
been so heavy as last week.

The Shackelford Nursery Co. will
start this week cutting thousands of
Coreopsis lanceolata grandiflora. This
is one of the best early sellers. The
Shackelford daisy is in so large demand
at present that the cut is confined to
local consumers.

The wire department of the "W. C.
Smith Wholesale Floral Co. has had a
busy season in wire trellises. "Billy"
Vogel also is kept busy with the manu-
facture of wooden easels, which find a
good market at all times.

week. He was on his way to spend a
week's vacation at Ms old home in
Indianapolis, Ind.

Carl Beyer, who did jury duty last
week, found a little time to visit the
market. He says business could hardly
be better and the enormous stock of
bedding plants will soon be cleaned out.

Geo. H. Angermueller has a large
number of shipping orders for Me-
morial day supplies already booked.
Business in this line has been excellent
all the season.

The Art League of this city will offer
a prize of $50 for the best exterior dis-
play of flowers during the Democratic
national convention, in the week of
June 11, open to all downtown business
houses. This is a splendid move and
should bring a lot of business to local
florists.

The leading hotels and banks in the
downtown district are making grand
window-box displays. Those of the Jef-
ferson hotel and the Mercantile Trust
Co., the latter put up by David Geddis,
are most noteworthy.

A visit to Edwardsville, 111., last
week to view the new greenhouse range
of Henry Blixen proved interesting.
One house, 40x150, is completed and two
others are under construction, each
35x150. All are, of Dietsch material and
have Evans ventilators. A large-sized
Kroeschell boiler will be installed. Mr.
Blixen will have nearly 20,000 feet of
glass. Koses, carnations and chrysan-
themums will be grown. Splendid of-
fices, storage rooms and cooling rooms
are being built. A large tract of land

around this neve place provides plenty
of room for additional houses. Mr.
Blixen was in the employ of the J. F.
Ammann Co. for the last twenty years.
The output of the greenhouses will be
shipped to this market and the place
will be known as the Woodlawn
Gardens.

W. S. Wells and his committee
mailed out 500 letters to florists in Mis-
souri asking them to be at Columbia,
May 24, to attend a meeting to or-
ganize the Missouri State Florists'
Association. About fifteen local flo-
rists left here May 23 to attend the
meeting.

A visit was also paid to the estab-
lishment of the J. F. Ammann Co., just
across the way from Mr. Blixen 's
greenhouses. In the absence of J. F,
,Ammann, Mr. Smith and Mr. Klein
showed us through the range. The big
rose and carnation houses still are pro-
ducing, as usual, a high quality of stock
and plenty of it. J. J. B.

NEWABE, N. J.

The Market.

The weather was unfavorable to the
growers in this vicinity last week and
there was a little jump in the price of
some kinds of flowers in consequence.
Carnations, eq)ecially, were affected,
and jumped to 4 cents each at whole-
sale. The cool, showery weather also
affected the retail trade, which, though
generally satisfactory, had a tendency
to sag. Tulips, hyacinths, jonquils, daf-
fodils and other bulbous stock have
practically disappeared from the mar-
ket, but other flowers and plants are
arriving for the first time this season,
keeping up the general supply. Violets
have disappeared and some florists sub-
stitute for them dark blue sweet peas,
when called upon for a blanket of that
color. Outdoor valley is beginning to
come to the market, and is generally
long-stemmed and of good quality.
These flowers cost 1 cent each now.
Excellent calla lilies are arriving and
are of moderate price. Easter lilies also
are plentiful. Sweet peas are abundant
and cheap, costing 50 cents per hun-
dred. Both white and yellow irises are
beginning to appear, and, considering
it is the beginning of the season, are
quite reasonable. White lilac has ap-
peared within the last ten days, and
sells for 15 cents per bunch. The purple
lilac is plentiful now, but continues in

good demand. Stocks are abundant.
Miniature indoor gladioli have just
made their appearance for the first time
this season.

Potted geraniums are daily growing
more plentiful and by the latter part of
this week the flood of these will be at
its height. By Monday, May 29, it is
probable that the large supplies which
the growers now have on hand will be
nearly exhausted because of the Memo-
rial day decorations on the next day.
Potted fuchsias are beginning to ap-
pear here, as well as potted verbenas,
marigolds, etc. Potted heliotropes are
becoming more plentiful. The season
for bedding plants has been a little late
this year, but large quantities of them
are being sold now.

Club Meeting.

On account of the hall being used
by the Tall Cedars of iLebanon on the
regular night for the May meeting of
the Essex County Florists' Club, the
meeting was called for the night before.
The change of night proved disastrous
as far as attendance was concerned,
there being a little less than a quorum
present. Those who had come, however,
talked over informally matters of in-
terest to the florists of Essex county.
Most of the discussion was in regard
to preliminary plans for the second an-
nual chrysanthemum show, to be given
next fall under the auspices of the
Essex County Club. Some of the mem-
bers of the club favor hiring some cen-
trally located hall for a period of two
or three days, planning to hold a big
show and charge admission. Others
think it is already too late to plan for
so elaborate a show, although heartily
in favor of trying to produce a some-

what larger show than the first one,
held last fall. While that was a credit-
able effort for a first affair, the mem-
bers want to see each year a bigger
and more attractive show. The June
meeting of the club will be held on
the regular meeting night.

Various Notes.

George Muller states that he has had
considerable funeral work, but business
otherwise has been rather quiet for the
last two weeks.

The S. A. Rogers Nursery Co., at 14
Branford place, reports a large demand
for rose bushes.

McLaughlin & Murphy report much
funeral work, and they believe the indi-
cations are that business generally is
picking up, though it has been a little
quiet for a few days on account of the
weather.

J. Rose complains that, on account
of the cold, cloudy weather, flowers in
his greenhouses have not developed as
they should during the last week or ten
days.

"Taken as a whole, business has been
excellent during the spring," is the
report given by Mr. McKnight, grower
for August Begerow.

Edward Jacobi complains of the scar-
city of help. Business has been good,
as a whole, during the spring, and at
present there is much funeral work. He
is crippled in getting out his stock be-
cause of his inability to get sufficient
competent help in the greenhouses.
R. B. M.

BOSTON.

Tlie Market.

A decided improvement of business
set in May 17 and it still remains. We
have had unusually cold weather for
May, with much rain and heavy skies.
As a consequence the arrivals of stock
have fallen off sharply and May 20 and
22 there were surprisingly good clean-
ups at much improved prices. Roses

BO years' experience in the florist busineaa guaranteea
efficiency to take care of all orders. 20 per cent allowed

have cleared without any trouble.
American Beauties drag somewhat, but
the price on specials shows an advance.
Hybrid teas are doing well. Hadley,
Russell, Shawyer and Francis Scott Key
roses make from $1 to $12 per hundred;
other varieties are somewhat lower in
price. Even the small varieties such
as Mile. Cecile Brunner and George
Elger, have sold well. Carnations have
been making better prices on the aver-
age than for Mothers' day, $4 to $6
per hundred for good flowers being se-
cured without trouble. Probabilities
are that growers are holding back many
flowers for local retail orders and in
anticipation of the higher prices nearer
Memorial day.

Sweet peas have come into their own
again and are bringing double last
week's prices. Marguerites, which had
been selling down to 50 cents per hun-
dred, advanced to $1.50, being selected
in lieu of carnations, owing to the high
price of the latter. The supply of bulb-
ous flowers is much reduced. Some good
outdoor Darwin and cottage tulips are
included. Valley remains stiff in price.
Snapdragon, lilies and callas remain
about the same. Cattleyas are a little
easier, but gardenias are in shorter
supply. Some of the regular Memorial
day flowers are beginning to appear.
These include feverfew, Gypsophila
elegans, stocks, candytuft and spiraeas.
Trade in bedding plants is good, but it
has been restricted somewhat by the
continued cool weather.

Various Notes.

Probabilities at the time of writing
are that many growers will fail to get
a large proportion of their Memorial
day crops in on time. A few warm
days would help, but so far we have

seen few of them. Indications are that
greenhouse flowers will be scarce aud
expensive. Outdoors there will be an
abundance of splendid lilacs, Darwin
and cottage tulips, Narcissus poeticus,
lily of the valley and German irises,
but pyrethrums, deutzias and other Me-
morial day favorites will not be in
flower. Eetailers have for weeks been
making larger preparations than ever
to supply an adequate number of mag-
nolia and artificial flower wreaths. But
for these, it would be impossible to fill
one-half the orders for Memorial day
stock.

A. A. Pembroke, of North Beverly,
cut 30,000 carnations for Mothers' day,
of which 20,000 were white. For Me-
morial day he will cut at least as many.
Matchless at this season proves espe-
cially profitable, owing to its good keep-
ing qualities on the plant.

A. H. Hews & Co. report tremendous
activity in the flower pot trade. They
have hard work to keep their customers
supplied with 2i4-inch, 3-inch, 3i^-inch
and 4-inch pots.

Eanson 's formerly among the largest
growers of greenhouse lettuce and cu-
cumbers near Boston, are planning to go
into carnation culture heavily and have
bought about 250,000 rooted cuttings.
They have formed a stock company, se-
cured a competent manager and prob-
ably will drop vegetable culture in
favor of flowers after this season.

A. E. E. Koch, of Nobscot, has a
nice crop of double feverfew in just the
right condition for Memorial day. His
yellow and white marguerites are doing
splendidly and net excellent prices.

At the meeting of the Gardeners' and
Florists' Club June 20 the regular lec-
ture will be omitted and the meeting

ilar to that made a year ago. Interest
in the club's Bar Harbor trip is grow-
ing. The steamer on vphich reservations
have been made leaves Boston July 14,
at 6 p. m., arriving at Bar Harbor at
10:30 the next morning. The show of
the American Sweet Pea Society and
the horticultural attractions of this
noted summer resort are sure to draw
a large attendance.

S. J. Goddard, of Fi.imingham, has a
splendid crop of Eosette, Matchless,
Beacon and Pink Delight carnations for
Memorial day, as well as a fine crop
from his new crimson seedlings.

Patrick Welch is well equipped for
Memorial day trade and his shippers
are sending him excellent lots of roses,
carnations, late tulips, sweet peas and
other seasonable stock.

At Penn's, heavy Memorial day ad-
vertising is being done and a large staff
is busily employed preparing thousands
of wreaths of magnolias and artificial
flowers, for which the flood of orders
is already coming in. Ladies' hats
trimmed with natural flowers are being
featured. Henry Penn says an increas-
ing number of ladies come in to have
their headgear trimmed in this way.

Some excellent prizes are oflfered in

the schedule for the show of March 21

to 25, 1917, which has been issued by

the Massachusetts Horticultural So-

' ciety. A gold medal and $300 for first

and $200 and silver medal are oflfered

An inspection of Harry Quint's spe-
cial Memorial day store at 34 Bromfield
street last week showed a large force
at work on artificial wreaths. Some
thousands of these are being made up
and a heavy advertising campaign is
being conducted. A wide variety of
make-ups were noted and the display
certainly was an imposing one.

Wax Bros., on Tremont street, report
heavy advance orders for Memorial day
and they have many extra hands work-
ing in anticipation of record sales.
General business has been good of late.

While the season here is ten to four-
teen days later than the average, due
to the cooler and more moist weather
prevailing — and while many growers of
vegetables and flowers are bemoaning
the absence of hot, dry weather — lawns,
trees, shrubs, hardy perennials and
bulbous plants have reveled under the
humid skies. Bulbs were never so fine
and they have lasted wonderfully, Kock
gardens are glorious and such a season
as this has naturally greatly boomed
this delightful branch of gardening.

F, J, Dolansky is marketing a fine
lot of ficus and nephrolepis. His Cat-
tleya Mossiae now is in good crop. He
also has a nice lot of Phalfenopsis ama-
bilis and miltonias. Gardenias are
somewhat off crop, W. N, C,

Jamestown, N. Y.— G, H, Heelas is
much pleased with his new delivery
truck. He bought the chassis of a light
touring car and had a special body
built, with glass ovals in the sides,
A rack below the "windows" brings
plants up where they may be seen from
the outside.

A STRIKING WINDOW.

The window of Pelicano, Boss! & Co.,
San Francisco, always is one of the
bright spots on Kearny street. Not
only is the window modern in its equip-
ment, but the decoration always is skill-
fully done. The overcrowding frequent-
ly seen in flower store windows is care-
fully avoided and striking effects are
obtained by the use of a small number
of large, bold arrangements of choice
flowers. The accompanying illustration
gives an excellent idea of the style of
decoration in vogue.

LOS ANGELES.

*■ The Market.

Funeral work has been the mainstay
of the market this week, helping to
clean up a lot of stock that was not
first-class by any means, and proving
profitable to the retailers. Really good
carnations and roses have been on the
short side and some orders for these
for Mothers' day had to be turned
down. Sweet peas are maintaining
their quality remarkably well, as the
cool nights keep the vines in good order.
No rain has fallen to date during May,
but the cool, dull weather is fine for
newly planted stock. It is not often
that the northern stock is superior to
that locally grown, but at present the
northern growers have a shade the bet-
ter of us. Some of the roses coming
from the San Francisco growers are
excellent. The Beauties, Kussells and
Ophelias are particularly good. A num-
ber of outdoor flowers are in the mar-
ket, but not as many as usual at this
season, especially in herbaceous stock.
There has been practically 90 valley on
the market for the last few days, the
supply being short and uncertain. Or-
chids are about equal to the demand.
Greens are plentiful. Good pot ferns
are scarce.

Various Notes.

A novel and attractive Mothers' day
window, representing a telegraph sys-
tem crossing a rough country in minia-
ture, was a great drawing card at the
store of the Redondo Floral Co., at 218
West Seventh street. Everything was
worked out in perfect detail, and in-
coming and outgoing telegrams were
also displayed in the window. As usual
when a thing is well done, it attracted
a crowd of interested onlookers, and,
what was more to the purpose, brought
in the shekels in the form of a big de-
mand for flowers "to be sent to
Mother."

A highly successful rose show was
held at Hamburger 's, May 15 and 16,
under the management of E. Hunt, who
runs the flower department there.
Though run primarily as an advertise-
ment for the firm, such shows do a
great deal of good to the trade gener-
ally, by arousing in amateurs a spirit
of rivalry. Several fine silver cups were
awarded. The judges were William
Clark, of the nursery department of
the Germain Seed & Plant Co., and
Fred Hills.

of the latter 's father, Mr. Eohde, who
died at his home at Glendale, May 15,
and was buried May 17. An immense
number of fine funeral pieces were sent
by friends, a large auto truck being
necessary to carry them.

Murata & Co. are featuring an ex-
ceptionally fine strain of double Shasta
daisies, which they say are wonderful
keepers and sell on sight. Mothers'
day trade was exceptionally heavy here.

At the store of the L. A. Floral Co.
there were some Mothers' day orders
that could not be filled, owing to short-
age of stock fit for shipping long dis-
tances. The first of the new-crop car-
nations are in and there are already

many advance orders for Memorial day.

At the new home of M. L. Germain,
president of the Germain Seed & Plant
Co., one of the features of the landscape
work is to be a California wild garden.
A miniature canon is to be worked out
and gradually planted entirely with na-
tive species. Several other large land-
scape contracts are being carried out
by the nursery department of this
house.

quired. A good deal of work still re-
mains to be done, but a good start has
been made in what will be a perfectly-
laid out nursery.

Bapid progress has been made with
the new greenhouses at the range of
Walter Armacost & Co., at Sawtelle.
At the time of writing, three of the
new houses are ready for the glass and
two others will be ready shortly. The
replanting of the new rose stock is fin-
ished, 10,000 young plants having been
set in the new houses. When all are
complete, the new additions will just
about double the area this firm has. in
glass.

Frank Lichtenberg reports a more
than usually good prospect for June
weddings, as inquiries and orders are
coming in freely. As soon as possible,
he expects to tear out the interior deco-
rations in the store and change it en-
tirely, making it one of the most at-
tractive stores in the country. He also
intends to take an eastern trip this
year.

H. W. Turner is completing a collec-
tion of fine conifers and flowering
shrubs around the greenhouses, a most
interesting and attractive feature. Sev-
eral lines and beds of the newer poly-
antha roses also give an excellent
chance to compare these and find out
wlich are best for this climate. Under
glass everything is in fine shape and
the newly planted stock is growing
rapidly.

H. Keeve Darling is trying out the
effect of a flower store on the eleventh
floor in the exclusive Brock Shoppes,
on West Seventh street. His new store
on Sixth street is also attractive, being
well lighted and containing an elegant
line of fixtures. Business • is reported
as fine here. H. E. Richards.

rially. White carnations were in par-
ticularly heavy demand, despite the ef-
forts of the trade to shift the call in
other directions. So great was the pop-
ularity of white carnations that prices
jumped from 25 cents to $1.25 per
dozen.

The weather has been freakish in
certain sections of California this sea-
son, which has inconvenienced the grow-
ers and nurserymen more or less, though
no large damage is reported. The heavy
frosts early in the month did some
damage to flowers, but this was com-

paratively light. The long drought has
been hard on nursery stock.

Many weddings and funerals made
business fairly active last week. Noth-
ing was too plentiful, unless it was
rOses. They continued to flood the mar-
ket, but a lighter supply is expected
from now on, as some of the growers
are drying their rose plants. Most of
them will keep going until Decoration
day, however. There are so many roses
of excellent quality in all varieties that
the shorter-stemmed stock is hard to
dispose of. Street venders are offering'

really fine roses at low prices. Carna-
tions have been scarce since Mothers'
day and ordinary stock sells for 75
cents per dozen. There is a heavy sup-
ply of sweet peas, Spencers showing up
particularly well. Many varieties of
gladioli are offered, including Mrs.
Francis King and America. Lilies are
on the wane. Pansies in flats are popu-
lar. Primulas, both cut and potted, sell
well.

Various Notes.

Jack Olson, of the New Rosarie, re-
ports much basket work for dinners,
etc. He is making a special feature of
this class of work and says it has
brought him many new customers.
Basket work, he says, is extremely de-
sirable in that it uses odds and ends
of everything.

Some of the growers have a griev-
ance in the treatment they at times
have received at the hands of the San
Francisco police. This applies to those
bringing in stock in wagons. This
method gets them into trouble on ac-
count of the license restrictions. The
police take some of them in at the
California Flower Market, on Bush
street, every few weeks. An arrest was
made a day or so ago.

Henry Maier, of the Burlingame
Nursery Co., who was operated on for
appendicitis recently, is reported to be
in a serious condition.

The annual spring flower show of the
Menio Park Horticultural Society was
held May 21.

Frank Pelicano, who has been at
Byron Hot Springs for two weeks on
account of rheumatism, is recovering
nicely and is expected back on duty
shortly.

John Gill, of the E. Gill Nursery Co.,
was called to Williams, Cal., recently
to act as judge at the annual rose show
of the Sacramento Valley Eose Society,
which he says was highly successful.

The rose show at the E. Gill Nursery
Co. place, at West Berkeley, May 12
and 13, was so successful that the com-
pany has decided to make it an annual
event. The packing shed near the main
entrance to the grounds was converted
into an attractive setting for the dis-
play by the use of white birch and oak
branches as a background. Dorothy
Perkins roses were banked along one
side of the room and a long table ex-
tended down the other side, on which

cial on potted roses during the celebra-

The Market.

A record-breaking business was done
by the florists Mothers' day. The pub-
lic gave more consideration to the use
of appropriate colors, and by careful
handling the supply of white carnations
met the demand fairly. It was the
most tiresome day of the year, as the
sales were largely restricted to half-
dozens or less, and a good deal of talk
was required to make the sales. The
proceeds were small compared with the
efforts expended.

Business last week was fairly good.
Counter trade was brisk and funeral
work normal. The cut of roses was quite
heavy and the quality good. MossisB
cattleyas are in oversupply. The sup-
ply of outdoor-grown valley is nearly
exhausted. Carnations come in freely.
Few kinds of blooming plants are
shown, the hydrangeas leading. Some
inferior cinerarias and obconicas are
seen. Snapdragons and sweet peas, with
a number of outdoor perennials, add to
the supply of cut stock.

reported that the stock being grown
for this event was in splendid condi-
tion and would receive official inspec-
tion in a few days. A brief discussion
of the methods of fixing prices for flow-
ers sold on the public market brought
out the fact that the market master

H. E. Weed invited the members to

was expected that thirty or forty mem-
bers would go. Growers of perennials
stated that there would be a shortage

ment.

ceived was not much more than needed
to pay for the repairs on the machine.
August Zitzewitz is cutting a heavy

E. J. Steele said his local sales of
pansies had fallen off this year. Street
venders and the public market are cut-
ting into this trade.

Thomas Bodley reports a good busi-
ness this season.

nies was more than three weeks later
than usual, and that many varieties
will be in their prime Memorial day.

Tlie Market.

The florists are busy with bedding
stock, all the stores more than ever
before making a specialty of this side
line. Roses were plentiful and this
week there will be good supplies of out-
door Brunner roses, etc., arriving much
later than last season, when roses were
in full bloom long before this. Carna-
tions are not any too plentiful. It is
hoped that fair prices may be main-
tained for some time to come. There
are quantities of orchids in the stores.
Cornuta violets are taking the place of
other varieties. Their lack of odor is
not much noticed, considering that the
imported violets have the same defect.
Sweet peas are fairly plentiful. The
outdoor crop is in good condition and
soon will be ready for the market.

Various Notes.

Charles Muench, well known to the
trade here, passed away last week. He
was ill for some time, so his death
was not unexpected. He had been em-
ployed in nearly all the flower stores in
Seattle. His wife survives.

The Hollywood Gardens are market-
ing tomatoes, of which they have an
excellent crop.

Bosaia Bros, are receiving a fine cut
of Hadley and Ophelia roses from the
Thomas Floral Co., the cut averaging
about 1,250 per day. The quality of
the stock leaves nothing to be desired.

McCray Florists
Refrigerators

The McCRAY construction keeps flowers cool and fresh longer
than by any other system of refrigeration. It provides an even
temperature of the correct degree for cut flowers and stops the
great waste and profit loss that is caused by imperfect refrigeration.

The various compartments in a McCRAY are of different
sizes to accommodate the different lengths of cut flower stems and
your flowers are given an inviting display.

For interior linings you have your choice of either handsome
bevel plate mirror or beautiful white enamel, which are very easy
to clean. The exterior may be of any flnish desired to match the
interior of your store woodwork or other fixtures.

Invest in a McCRAY. Make it a partner in your business.
You will value it more highly than its mere intrinsic dollar-and-
cents value. Investigate anyway!

Tbirty-foarth annnal conTention. Chicago, Jan*
ao to 22. 1916.

The British trade press is agitating
the question of an import duty on all for-
eign-grown bulbs.

Freight and duty will this year prac-
tically double the price of Japanese bulbs
between Yokohama and New York.

The H. G. Hastings Co., Atlanta, Ga.,
has received a cable from its grower of
Bermuda onion seed in Teneriffe stating
that he will make full delivery on this
year 's crop.

Alfred Eoss, of the Ross Bros. Seed
House, Wichita, Kan., died on the morn-
ing of May 14, heart failure being the
cause of death. Further particulars will
be found in the obituary column.

W. W. Barnard left Santa Barbara for
Chicago May 23. Mr. Barnard has been
in California since January and found the
climate so pleasing that in future he in-
tends to make his winter residence there.

A. H. GooDveiN, vice-president of the
W. W. Barnard Co., Chicago, is spending
week ends at his summer home at Lake
Wawasee, Ind. He is an ardent fisher-
man and started early in the season to
try his luck with the hook and line.

The J. J. Wilson Seed Co., of Newark,
N. J., has received a communication from
the State Department at Washington,
stating that word has been received by
the department that several packages of
seeds consigned to that company by a
Holland concern have been seized by the
British and are now before a prize court
in England.

Seed growers in Denmark are having
trouble to get labor without advancing
their costs too rapidly. The leading in-
dustry in Denmark is agriculture. The
general average in money payments to the
workers during 1915 was $121 per annum
to the men and $72 to the women. Board
and lodging are furnished by the employ-
ers. These wages are the highest ever
paid in Denmark for farm labor.

THE CHECAGO CONVENTION,

The thirty-fourth annual convention
of the American Seed Trade Associa-
tion will be held at the Hotel Sherman,
Chicago, June 20 to 22, In sending
out the call Secretary Kendel says:
"The program this year has been pur-
posely shortened, as matters of vital
importance to the association and the
trade will be up for discussion and it
was thought wise to allow sufficient
time to consider them."

The papers and addresses are as fol-
lows:

"Accounting and Business Methods," bv Robert
E. Belt, of the Federal Trade Commission, Wash-
ington, D. C.

"Corn Growing in the North^^est," by A. K.

"Advertising— Fair Play Seed." by FYanlc B.

tion, Chicago, 111.

The president's reception will take
place at the hotel on the evening of
June 20 and the annual banquet on the
evening of June 21.

An unusually large attendance is ex-
pected this year.

SNAPDRAGON POINTERS

To be most successful it is better to be governed by tested rules.
We give a few pointers regarding Snapdragon, taken from our ex-
perimental records:

Sow seed of our genuine Silver Pink Snapdragon before June 15;
follow directions on topping and benching, setting the plants 12x15.
The first crop of blooms will come in December, which should be
cut, leaving all other growth. The myriads of shoots left should
begin flowering in February and continue to flowet until June.
There should be from 30 to 50 shoots on each plant. If your trade
calls for heavy spikes, thin them out. If for medium spikes, let all
remain.

So much for the greatest and most productive Snapdragon in
existence. Treatment for other varieties will be about the same,
except they can be planted closer.

Snapdragon is our one business. No better seeds can be produced.
Each variety grown for seed is kept under glass in separate houses.
We offer pure seed as follows: Our original Silver Pink. II.OO per
pkt.; 3 for $2.50; 7 for $5.00. Seed of Nelrose, Phelps' White. Yellow.
Garnet Buxton and fancy mixed, at 85c per pkt.; 3 for $1.00. Free
cultural directions. All orders cash.

We have a few thoueand seedling plants of Silver Pink at $5.00 per 100.
Tbla ad will suide you to prosperity. 8avo It.

CROP FAILURE IN THE LAW.

The seed trade will be greatly inter-
ested in the fact that failure of crops
is no excuse for a canner to neglect to
make deliveries under his contracts, ac-
cording to a recent decree of the Mary-
land Circuit Court of Hartford county.
It made no difference in the court's
view of the packer's liability that the
packer had made every effort to pack
the goods by procuring the necessary
acreage to be grown for him, but by
reason of the excessively wet weather
prevailing before and during the can-
ning season, his crops were' ruined and
he was not able to pack the goods he
had contracted to sell. This defense

1^ ■ An entirely new and distinct strain of Pansies. The

I flnSlfiS ^^^^ advantage of these new Pansies over all hitherto
*""• existing Pansies is the extreme earliness of flowering
and their unusual hardiness. Sown at the same time as other Pansies, they begin
flowering the early part of March, or as soon as the snow is off the ground,
many times having four or five large flowers to a plant, when all other
Pansies are only showing buds. The flowers are large, well formed and
fragrant. They are highly recommended for autumn planting for early
bedding, and early cut flowers supplied in yellow, white, sky blue,
velvety purple, blue and mixture. Seed ready July 1.

The Florists' Review

Mat 25, 1916.

was interposed by way of plea to tho
declaration, but upon demurrer the
court held that the facts set up were
not available as a defense to the con-
tract.

The contract offered in evidence cov-
ered sales of No. 3 standard tomatoes,
designating the brand of the packer.
It was because of this designation that
the packer sought to invoke the failure
of his crops as a defense to the action,
but the court, by sustaining the de-
murrer and overruling the defense on
that ground, refused to recognize the
right of the packer to disregard his
contract and excuse his failure to make
delivery on the ground that he was un-
able to pack under his label because of
the failure of his crops.

In other words, the effect of the
court's ruling is to require future con-
tracts to be strictly fulfilled and to
take such contracts out of the class into
which there is sometimes read the im-
plication that the contract may be
avoided if the goods which are the sub-
ject of the contract are not at the time
of its execution in being and do not
thereafter come into being.

WHY SEED SALES SHRUNK.

Seedsmen who cater to the canners'
trade noted less than the expected de-
mand this season. The following is from
a canners' authority and refers espe-
cially to the situation in the tomato
packing district in Maryland: "The re-
duced acreage is due to many causes.
Tor instance, there is a desire on the
part of farmers to participate in the
higher prices prevailing for wheat, corn
and other cereals; there is the shortage
of potash for fertilizer; there is the
scarcity of labor, due to the attractive-
ness of higher prices in city factories,
and lastly there is the lateness of the
season. " •

MOTT-LY GLEANINGS.

The "Wesley Miller Seed House, of
South Bend, Ind., is experiencing a good
run of business.

S. Bach & Co. and Weigman & Zelt,
of Fort Wayne, Ind., report good busi-
ness. They report having placed con-
tracts for fall delivery of vegetable
seed at prices averaging about the
same as last year. Bean prices are
slightly higher and some varieties of
peas lower.

W. T. Phillips & Co., of Toledo, O.,
note an unusually late season that will
affect the average returns, which were
promising, owing to market gardeners
getting better prices for their produce
than last spring.

"This will be a good year for the
southern trucker," observed A. C. Ken-
del, of Cleveland, O. "The extreme
lateness of the season must cause a
great shortage in vegetables for the
fall crop. Not a potato has been
planted in this section at this date, May
20, fully four weeks later than the
usual date."

Johnson's Seed Store, of Cleveland,
disposed of a carload of seed potatoes
during the mild spell; the balance is
going slowly. The seed rush is over.
Plans are under way to increase store
and storage facilities against the be-
ginning of another season.

Wood & Co., of East Cleveland, O.,
are passing through a good season, not
depending upon seeds alone. Com-
mencing early ,with hardy plants, they
follow with annuals from May 20 until

Business in all lines was good last
week. There were plenty of funeral or-
ders and the bedding work was at its
height, despite the dark and cool
weather. It is conceded that this
spring's bedding season will surpass
that of any previous year, as some of
the florists already report as much busi-
ness now as for the entire season, with
plenty of orders still on file. Eetailers
report general business as holding up
better than expected, and they are busy
placing orders for Memorial day, which
is one of the big days here. Stock of
all kinds was plentiful last week, with
the exception of roses. Toward the end
of the week prices for the cheapest
roses went to $6 per hundred. White
roses were scarcest. Carnations and
peonies of good quality were in large
supply all week. These flowers will be
the main factors in the Memorial day
rush. Miscellaneous stock of all kinds
is plentiful and there will be a larger

quantity of it from now until after Me-
morial day. Pot plants of all kinds are
in abundance and there is no doubt that
there will be plenty for several weeks.
Outdoor annuals are coming into flower.

Various Notes.

Patrick Larkin, owner of a flower
store at 1208 Baltimore avenue, died
May 16 at St. Joseph's hospital.
Further details are given in this week's
obituary column.

Mrs. Charles Biedermann, 70 years
old, died at her home, 3339 Prospect
street. May 16. She had been a resi-
dent of Kansas City for fifty years and
leaves two sons and three daughters.

Billy Sunday gave a Mothers' day
sermon last week and the committee in
charge requested all the mothers who
came to hear to wear white flowers.

The first amateur flower show of
Kansas City was held last week at the
Muehlebach hotel. It was a success and

another will be held later in the sum-
mer. Mrs. Massey Holmes, not in any
way interested in the florists' business,
was sponsor of the show. The exhibi-
tion consisted of annuals and perennials.

W. L. Rock will have plenty of pot
plants of all kinds for Memorial day
trade. His cut stock was light last
week, on account of the cloudy weather.
A large cut is expected from the rose
and carnation ranges.

Edward Humfeld reports that he had
two Mothers' days in one week. One
occurred Saturday, May 21. As he i8

nacle, in whixjh the evangelist gave a
Mothers' day sermon, he had a big run.
on white cut flowers for several hours,
and he had all he could do. Mr. Hum-
feld has finished planting at Electric
park.

Arthur Newell reports that business
is keeping up with that of some of the
winter months. He had two large out-
of-town decorations last week.

A. F. Barbe had an especially heavy
week in cut flowers and bedding work
for the cemetery, surpassing that of
any other year. He has a fine lot of
pot plants ready to meet the demand
for Memorial day.

Miss Jennie Murray had a heavy run
of funeral work during the week.

W. J. Barnes has sold more than
three-fourths of his bedding stock and
he will have little left for Memorial
day. He has also disposed of a large
number of heavy ferns, selling thirty
hanging baskets filled with them in one
order.

■

Visitors last week were Martin
Eeukauf, of H. Bayersdorfer & Co.,
Philadelphia, and J. Karins, of Henry
A. Dreer, Inc., Philadelphia.

The nurserymen of this city have had
a good spring trade, due principally to
the length of the season. Several were
busy until last week planting out stock.
A large number of perennials were sold
this spring. W. J. B.

PEOVIDENOE, R. I.

The Market.

Following Mothers' day, business set-
tled down to normal conditions. Early
evidences of the approach of Memorial
day are seen in the increased number
of metal wreaths and crosses. The sup-
ply of potted plants is unusually large.
While funerals and weddings continue
to create a generous demand, the call
for outdoor plants is especially brisk,
giving the market a tone of activity
that is much appreciated. In cut flow-
ers roses, carnations, stocks and bulbous
blooms furnish an ample supply.

Various Notes.

At the monthly meeting of the Rhode
Island Horticultural Society, held last
week, Arthur Sellew gave an interest-
ing and instructive lecture on "The
Cultivation of Dahlias for Home Deco-
ration and for Exhibition." He de-
scribed the dahlia as an ideal plant
for amateur gardening. The difficulty
in keeping the flower after cutting was
said to be its only drawback, but this,
Mr. Sellew said, could be somewhat
overcome by cutting before the sun was
up and keeping the blooms in as dark
a place as possible. The speaker stated
that better results and bigger flowers
were obtained from cuttings and smaller
tubers than from larger ones. It was
announced that the annual June flower
show of the society will be held June
16 at the Narragansett hotel.

The Outlet Co. distributed free to its
customers on Mothers' day 10,000 white
carnations, Rhode Island-grown and
furnished by J. E. Koppelman & Co.
and O. H. Williams.

The Rhode Island Horticultural So-
ciety has sent oni its premium lists for
the summer show, June 16, and for
shows September 12 and 13 and Novem-
ber 14 and 15.

Frank O'Reilly, Jr., 94 Oak Hill ave-
nue, Pawtucket, has a large force of
men on outdoor work.

rOR AMERICAN NURSERYMEN.

A Spirit That Builds.

A spirit of true cooperation appears
to prevail among members of the Amer-
ican Association of Nurserymen and
the attendance at the forty-first annual
convention, to be held at Milwaukee,
Wis., June 28 to 30, will equal that of
any former gathering of representatives
of the nursery trade. With the adop-
tion of the new constitution at Detroit
last year, there is manifest a general
revival of determination to place the
organization on a higher plane than it
has ever before attained.

At the coming convention a report
by Curtis Nye Smith, of Boston, Mass.,
counsel for the association, will consist
of a review of his work for the last
year and of recommendations for the
future. The various papers to be read
will have that same spirit and effort to
raise the moral and commercial ethics
of the organization. The intention is
to make a membership in the American
Association of Nurserymen a guarantee
of all that is honest in the carrying out
of contracts, the handling of stock and
the execution of business transactions.

Iiast Call for the Badge Book.

The quality of the program for the
Milwaukee meeting, in variety of topics
and discussions, surpasses anything
ever before presented to nurserymen,
and the sessions will be full of life and
profit. The receipts for membership
dues are more than double those of any
previous year and the correspondence
accompanying renewals indicates satis-
faction with the new constitution.

Members of record of 1915 may re-
new their memberships without coming
under the new rule, and if this notice
should be read by such as have not yet
doae so, they may feel at liberty to

RULES OOVERNING IMPORTS.

May 15 the Federal Horticultural
Board issued a pamphlet containing re-
vised rules and regulations governing
the importation of nursery stock into
the United States, under the provisions
of the Plant Quarantine Act of August
20, 1912. This revision supersedes, ef-
fective on and after July 1, 1916, the
circular of June 23, 1914, entitled
"Eules and Regulations Under the

Plant Quarantine Act: General, Includ-
ing Nursery Stock."

These revised regulations are sub-
stantially the same as those now in ef-
fect. The most important change is the
provision that permits to import nurs-
ery stock from countries which main-
tain nursery-stock inspection, and per-
mits to import orchids and tree seeds
from countries which do not maintain
nursery-stock inspection, instead of be-
ing reissued each year, will be valid
until revoked. The list of plants, the
entry of which is prohibited, is brought
up to date. Amendment No. 1 to the
former rules and regulations, issued
April 19, 1915, providing for the im-
portation of orchids and tree seeds in

which do not maintain nursery-stock in-
spection, is incorporated in regulation 6.
Regulation 8 has been revised to indi-
cate more fully the requirements of the
notice of shipment. Old regulations 1
and 10 have been omitted as unneces-
sary. These regulations do not have
particular application to nursery stock,
but apply to all of the different regu-
lations issued under the Plant Quaran-
tine Act. Regulation 10 on hearings
merely repeats the provision of the act
itself on this subject. A new regula-
tion. No. 1, has been substituted, pro-
hibiting the importation of nursery
stock, except in accordance with the
provisions of the Plant Quarantine Act
and the regulations drawn thereunder.
The Plant Quarantine Act, which has
hitherto been published in connection
with these regulations, has been
omitted.

A list of state inspection officials is
included, together with a list of the
foreign countries which have provided
for inspection and certification, in con-
formity with the requirements of this
act.

one of the finest privets for shear work
in all shapes, but owing to the change-
able seasons during the last four years,
the privet froze to the ground. Es-
pecially during the last two years has
the beauty attained in former years
been lost, and in the early spring it
gives only an unsightly appearance. I
am dispensing with this variety and
shall try Ligustrum Amurense, north-
em type, or L. Ibota. Before doing
BO, however, I shall appreciate any ad-
vice as to which is the best for hedg-
ing purposes. I have used Ibota in
formal and shrubbery purposes, but
have not used L. Amurense, or Amoor
river privet. W. H. — Pa.

Either Ligustrum Ibota, Japanese
privet, or L. Amurense, Amoor river
privet, would be much more satisfac-
tory than L. ovalifolium, California
privet, which is unreliable and should
never be planted where minimum tem-
peratures of 10 and 20 degrees below
zero are recorded. I would personally
prefer L. Ibota, which will withstand
any degree of cold you may have. It
is a rapid grower and, while the foliage
is not so glossy green as that of the
California privet, it makes a splendid
hedge. While I admire a hedge of
L. Amurense, I consider L. Ibota a
better variety, and you will make no
mistake in planting it. C. W,

Toledo, O. — By training and occupa-
tion J. J. Lasalle is a doctor, but that
does not preclude his also being a mar-
ket gardener. At any rate. Dr. La-
salle now is building two houses for
vegetable forcing.

Topeka, Ean. — The new era of pros-
perity has settled down for a comfort-
able stay here, at least as far as the
florists' business is concerned. The
florists' Easter trade was most satisfac-
tory and several concerns are contem-
plating the erection of additional
houses. J. M. Kessler is making plans
for a good-sized house; the Hayes Seed
Co. will invest in a new range; A. G.
Clark has blueprints for a small range
and Frank Sachs has several important
improvements to be made after the
spring business.

THE BEST RED CARNATION

Plants in 8^-inch pots, ready £or bench or field

WINNER of the Silver Medal of the American Carnation Society, at Buffalo, 1915; also WINNER of the SAME
MEDAL in the same class at ST. LOUIS, 1916; also of Silver Medal of S. A. F. and 0. H., at St. Louis,
1916. The color is a most brilliant red. The size of the flower is 3^j inches. Stems 24 to 36 inches long,
strong and stiff. We have never had a burst calyx, all flowers grading flrsts; and, best of all, it is a constant
bloomer, giving a steady run of flowers equal in number to the Enchantress family.

Trice o! 2i-inch plants is $12.00 per 100, $100.00 per 1000. We will bill 500 at the 1000 rate

CLEVELAND.

The Market.

The market is good; that is, from the
wholesalers' standpoint. All kinds of
cut stock are short of the demand, ex-
cepting lilies. Carnations are of fine
quality and bring $8 to $4 per hundred.
A few peonies from the southern states
are arriving and are quickly picked up.
Irises, Darwin tulips and baby gladioli
find a ready sale. The market is prac-
tically exhausted of pot plants. A few
good hydrangeas and spira;as are left
for the Memorial day trade.

Various Notes.

C. Merkel & Son, of Mentor, are erect-
ing four large houses, which will be
planted to roses for cut flowers. The
balance of their large range they will
continue to devote to their specialties,
adiantum and pot plants.

The bedding out season has been
much delayed here. While there has
been no frost for the last three weeks,
the nights are cold and everything is
at a standstill.

Timothy Smith, in his bright, new
store at Forty-sixth street and Euclid
avenue, reports business as being fine
and greatly exceeding his expectations.

Walter Mott was a recent visitor,
busily selling Benjamin Hammond 's
specialties.

Walter E. Cook, resident representa-
tive of the Stumpp & Walter Co., is
off on another tour of the west and
central states.

* A few of the boys found time to help
Ed Helm open his new bowling alleys.
Twenty-eight alleys on one floor, side
by side, are quite a sight, and evidently
enough for an S. A. F. bowling tourna-
ment, without any crowding.

Gardeners Want Raise.

Some of the fine lawns and beautiful
gardens at Newport may go uncared for
this summer if their owners do not
meet the demands for an increase in
pay by the Gardeners ' Assistants ' Asso-
ciation. A meeting of the association
was held a few evenings ago at which
the members voted to ask for an in-
crease to $2.50 per day, to take effect
June 1. If the advance is not made
it is said a strike will be called. The
meeting, besides being for the discus-
sion of the wage problem, saw the in-

BUFFALO.

Tlie Market.

Does advertising pay? The much-
mooted question found an emphatic an-
swer in the affirmative in the business
done for Mothers' day. The day was
advertised and the returns therefrom
were large. If any other holiday, Easter
for instance, should be given as much
publicity as Mothers' day, its business
would be much larger. One florist re-
ported that his Mothers' day business
increased seventy-five per cent; some
say fifty per cent and others say twen-
ty-five per cent.

Beauties last week were sufficient for
the demand, but the quality left much
to be desired. All lengths are avail-
able. Other varieties of roses are clear-
ing daily. Francis Scott Key and
Ophelia are in large demand. White
Killarney is somewhat scarce, which is
largely due to the many wedding deco-
rations and funeral pieces. Carnations
have been out of the running entirely,
but now are slowly recuperating from
the Mothers' day clean-up. It does not
seem to be one color that is scarce, but
all varieties and colors. In spite of the
increased supply of sweet peas, these
are clearing daily. Lilies were rather
scarce last week and callas have been
substituted until they have become
scarce.

Valley is again on the short side,
selling at $6 per hundred. The supply
of cattleyas is increasing, but the de*
mand takes these as they arrive. Peo-
nies are plentiful, but as yet they have
cut no great figure in the market. Snap-
dragons, irises, daisies, calendulas and
gladioli were life-savers of the week.
Pansies are inclined to drag; baskets
of these are in the market. Lilac, both
white and lavender, is scarce, but the
demand is not any too encouraging.
Greens of all kinds are sufficient.

Vaxions Notes.

J. J. Karins, with Henry A. Dreer,
Philadelphia, stopped off at Buffalo last
week while returning from a six weeks '
journey. He reports that business is
more than good. F. G. Nelson, of the
Burlington Willow Ware Shops, Bur-
lington, la., was a recent visitor.

W. J. Palmer & Son had a large wed-
ding decoration last week consisting
of white lilacs and lavender snapdrag-
ons, with cibotiums as a background.

William Ehmann, of Corfu, is pick-
ing some splendid America gladioli,
which finds a ready market. A. E.

Butte, Mont. — Victor Siegel soon will
celebrate his nineteenth year as head
gardener of the Columbia Gardens.

The Market.

Business is fair and the supply of
stock is Jarge enough to take care of all
present demands. In addition to the
supply from regular sources, a large
quantity of stock is coming in from
other points. The Decoration day sup-
ply promises to be good.

Koses of all kinds, including American
Beauties, are in good supply. Carna-
tion receipts are heavy. The Easter
lily cut is so heavy that the blooms are
selling at buyers' prices only. In addi-
tion to the large quantities of green-
house-grown sweet peas, outdoor sweet
peas now are coming into the market.
The first cornflower came in last week.
Peonies are excellent in quality and
plentiful. Other offerings include callas,
snapdragons, irises, cape jasmines, val-
ley and orchids. All are in good sup-
ply. Greens of all kinds are plentiful.

Various Notes.

L. H. Kyrk was the first wholesaler
to offer outdoor-grown sweet peas this
spring. They came in last Wednesday,
from Charles Schuemann, at Delhi.

C. E. Critchell reports an unusually
heavy advance booking of orders for
Memorial day.

William Taylor has been cutting some
fine America gladioli.

William Gardner, of Richmond, Ind.
was in town May 15. C. H. H. '

LANCASTER, PA.

Thursday, May 18, the Lancaster
County Florists' Association held its
monthly meeting. There was a good
attendance, considering the rush of
work. Complying with the request of
the program committee, Albert M. Herr
read a paper on "Looking Backward
and Forward in the Florists' Business."
Mr. Herr reviewed his early days in
the business with A. D. Rohr'er & Bros.,
and then told of the establishment of
his own business and its growth up to
the present time, ending with an opti-
mistic prophecy of the future. His
paper contained valuable points for all
who would hear and was one of the
best ever presented at a club meeting.
The discussion that followed Mr. Herr's
paper showed the interest taken in the
subject.

The club voted to hold a flower show
November 9 to 11. While chrvsanthe-
munis will be the main feature of the
show, many of the members are already
starting to grow other stock for the
exhibition. President Schrover ap-
pointed as a picnic committee Elmer .T
Weaver, A. F. Strickler and Rudolph
Nagle.

The next meeting will be held .Tune
15, when a large attendance is desir-
able. Rudolph Nagle showed a fine
specimen plant of Pelargonium Easter
Greeting, of which he has a large stock
for propagating.

A. N. Rohrer will erect a Hitchings
greenhouse this summer. .T. W. Gavley
expects to add a large house to" his

Greenhonse 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.

EQUIPMENT FOR BUBNINO OIL.

I am greatly interested in an article
which appeared in The Eeview of April
20 page 78, under the title, "Favors
Oil as Fuel." The article was written
by E. W. Kersey, in reply to the argu-
ments of a previous writer, who had
discouraged the use of oil as a green-
house fuel. I am enough of a mechanic
to be able to follow Mr. Kersey's ex-
planation and I think I see my way
clear to equipping my heating system
with a similar contrivance. I shall
be under g^reat obligations to you if
you will kindly give me some informa-
tion on the following points: What
kind of burners and what size of motor
and pump would be needed to equip a
Moninger hot water, firebox boiler?

B. A. C— Wis.

We are burning crude oil under our
Lord & Burnham hot water boilers, No.
646, using as power a i/4-horsepower
self-starting motor, connected by a belt
to a No. 3 Root's positive-pressure
blower. The rotary oil pump is also
belt-driven; it pumps the oil from a
large oil tank sunk in the ground. The
oil pump has a three-quarter intake and
can be procured from the Crane Co.,
Chicago. We use about thirty to thirty-
five pounds of pressure on the burner.
We made the burner ourselves, but
can supply anyone with it and we
think it is one of the best on the mar-
ket.

As to the lining of the firebox, much
depends on its size and construction.
If we had more data about B. A. C. 's
requirements, we should be glad to give
him more definite directions. We find
that crude oil is the best, cheapest and
most convenient fuel we have ever used
and we would not consider any other.
In fact, our outfit will continue to oper-
ate and to maintain an even tempera-
ture in our greenhouses as long as
there is any oil and power to work on.

Now as to the way we operate our
system. The oil as it is pumped from
the tank is run through a CC strainer

before it reaches the pump; then
through a coil which we run into one
of the flues to heat the oil; then into
a water separator, as there seems to be
more or less water in the oil; then into
the burner, which is operated by a
needle valve, to give the desired force
of flame. We made the water separator
out of an old steam trap. Unless the
water is separated from the oil, it is
liable to cause trouble.

We shall be glad to give any further
information on this subject to The
Review or to any of its readers. We
feel grateful to The Review for the
many good suggestions we have received
from it and we should not like to miss

IMPERFECT CIRCULATION.

On a separate sheet you will find a
rough sketch of my greenhouse, in
which I recently installed a hot water
heating system. The house is 22x90
and twelve feet high to the ridge, with
two feet of glass and three feet of
boarding in each side wall. The boiler
is at the rear end. The house is pretty
well protected. There are two flow
pipes, each 3-inch for a distance of
about twenty feet from the boiler; then
they are reduced to 2^-inch. The rea-
son I reduced them is because I hap-
pened to have the pipe on hand to suit
that arrangement.

There are three 80-foot coils of 1%-

The coil on the north wall is giving
me trouble. The two or three lower
pipes never get warm enough to giv«
any heat. Is there enough piping to
heat the house to 60 degrees in zero
weather? The flow pipes run slightly
uphill and there is an air vent in each
flow pipe at the highest point. The
coils have a slight downward slant to-
ward the boiler. The expansion tank,
which is about four feet above the
highest point, has to be refilled about
every four or five hours; it holds about

The Florists' Review

Mat 25, 1916.

The best circulation can be secured if
the flow pipes run downhill, with just
enough slope so that they can free
themselves of air. It will also be help-
ful if the expansion tank is connected
with the highest point in each of the
flow pipes.

The Market.

The market continues to be largely a
sellers' market and conditions have not
changed much. The weather continues
cold and rainy and this is making the
stock scarcer than ever. Present con-
ditions indicate that the supply of car-
nations for Memorial day will not equal
that for Mothers' day, but that the
quality will show some improvement.
The crop of roses is excellent and the
quantity is large enough to meet all
demands. Bed carnations and red roses
are, of course, hard to supply, as this
color is more in . demand than usual.
The supply will be limited. The sale
of spring stock has been unusually brisk
and the stock is already cleaning up on
some kinds.

Memorial day business should show a
good increase over that of last year,
and the only reason that it may not do
80 will be the extreme scarcity of
stock. Owing to the strike of the ex-
press employees in Chicago last week,
diflaculty was experienced in filling or-
ders for greens, as a large part of the
local supply comes from the south.

While there were some fine peonies in
the market last week, the stock is mov-
ing only fairly well. There undoubt-
edly will be a big demand for this
stock, however, for Memorial day, be-
cause after the supply of roses and
carnations has been ordered up there
still will be a large gap to be filled,
and peonies will be the natural solu-
tion. Some fine outdoor tulips are be-
ing disposed of easily at fair prices,
and tliese also will cut a big figure in
Memorial day sales.

The trade in general has had an ex-
ceptionally good spring season. After
the .coming holiday, everyone will wel-
come a lightening of the tension under
which he has been laboring for the
entire season.

MINNEAPOLIS, MINN.

Various Notes.

Thomas Lynes reports one of the best
spriug trades he ever had. His store
was tastefully decorated last week for
the Baptists' convention.

The Mazey Floral Co. is developing
fine features in window decorations.
Masses of flowers are used with charm-
ing efifect. TJhese decorations are on
such a large scale that they compel
attention.

The Minneapolis Floral Co. sold all
its stock for Mothers' day. The old
staff now is scattered all over the coun-
try, only one of the workers being left
in the houses. It is understood that
the houses will be torn down and re-
built on another site.

The Lakewood Cemetery Greenhouses
are busy preparing to fill about 1,100
vases for Memorial day. It is real
hustling and heavy work, but every-
thing will be done in time.

Mothers' day certainly was a banner
one in carnations. Sunday saw them
all sold out and May 15 there were none
to be had. Large quantities of lilies
were used last week in funeral pieces.
All available stock was cleared at 8
and 10 cents.

Lippincott's Seed Store is gay with
all kinds of bedding plants. The seed
business is the best ever.

Northrup, King & Co. are doing a
good business in the wholesale and re-
tail seed departments. They are carry-
ing a fine line of herbaceous stock,
displayed in specially arranged bins in
order that the purchaser may see what
he is buying.

May 20 saw a change in weather; it
was warmer and more springlike. Flo-
rists' rigs soon were seen in all parts
of the city, loaded with marguerites,
vincas, fuchsias, geraniums, cannas and
dracsenas. Window boxes are trans-
forming the appearance of the city. In
outdoor decorations and gardens Minne-
apolis certainly leads.

O. E. Amundson had a distinctive
window last week. The display com-
prised a bank of large Boston ferns
in the rear. In the foreground were
baskets and vases with tulips, roses,
sweet peas, cosmos, daisies, etc.

The Eldridge Floral Co. had a busy
week of funeral work. This concern al-
ways has cut flowers of high-grade
quality.

The California Fruit Store made a
feature of irises, roses and Darwin
tulips last week.

A. Abdallah, of Lake street and Hen-
nepin avenue, has increased the size of
his flower department and installed a
large show case with a refrigerator at-
tachment.

Oscar Carlson says trade is good. His
carnations and roses are always of the
best.

One enterprising florist secured a
quantity of window-box decorations by
pointing out to the business man that
he could not afford to be without these
decorations when his neighbor had
them. F. E. B.

DAVENPORT, R. ISLAND, MOLINE.

The Market.

The business in cut flowers last week
was only moderately active. Eoses are
scarce, the local growers being mostly
oflf crop. Carnations are none too plen-
tiful and sell well at a good price.
Sweet peas are in fair supply. Easter
lilies are plentiful and low-priced. Bed-
ding stock is the big feature and every-
body is working overtime to fill orders.
Window boxes and hanging baskets are
in great demand and indications are
that it will be a record-breaking season
for everything in this line. Vincas and
other vines are becoming scarce, and if
the present demand keeps up local stock
soon will be exhausted.

Various Notes.

Joachim Koopmann & Bro., of Daven-
port, have purchased the Ewoldt Bros,
greenhouses and will take possession
about the middle of June. They ex-
pect to grow a full line of potted plants
for the wholesale trade and will con-
tinue their present establishment for
another year, when its grounds will be
laid out into city lots. The two brothers
have been at the present location for
about five years and have built up a
large trade. W. G.

EVANSVILLE, IND.

The Market.

There is an abundance of roses and
carnations in the market. Peonies are
coming in fast and are finding a ready
sale. Geraniums and other bedding
plants are eagerly sought after and will
be until Decoration day. All the flo-
rists are busy from early morning until
late at night.

Various Notes.

The William Blackman Floral Co. is

Mr. N. Zweifel, North Milwaukee,
Wis., says:

"The carnation plants would not
make much headway kiid they would
get full of red spider. Now that we
have our System of Irrigation, we
have no trouble in getting strong,
healthy plants to plant in the green-
house, free of red spider and other
insects. One can say, without ex-
aggeration, that the Skinner System
pays for itself several times in one
season."

Promises, even though made with the best
intentions, are usually very uncertain, unless
the source of the promise is backed up by a
firmly established reputation for reliability
and dependability.

Everything should be incorporatedl.in the
contract. We seldom make a promise, but,
when we do, our reputation proves conclusively
that its fulfillment can always be depended
upon.

The New Jersey Agricultural Experiment
Station, at New Brunswick, N. J., placed their
greenhouse building operations with us, and
the following is what Dr. J. O. Lipman, the

"In so far as I know, the work done
by you was eminently satisfactory,

The Florists'' Review

May 25, 1916.

FOET WAYNE, IND.

The Market.

The weather last week was unseason-
ably cold, dark and unproductive, the
growers being unable to supply the nor-
mal quantity of cut flowers for the
local trade. Business was good, wed-
dings and funeral work predominating.
The bedding season is furnishing a big
demand for bedding plants and for all
kinds of bulbs and flowering shrubs.
This work is keeping the florists busy,
although the demand is expected to
be much greater with the advent of
warmer weather. Boses are only mod-
erately plentiful, but they are of splen-
did quality. The shorter-stemmed stock
is more plentiful than the long-
stemmed blooms, which bring $6 and $8
per hundred. There are Eussell,
Shawyer, Ophelia, Sunburst and Rich-
mond. American Beauties are poor of
quality and not in great demand, the
Russell and Shawyer roses supplanting
them in most instances.

Carnations are in moderate supply
and prices hold up well. Miniature
gladioli are in the market and retail at
$1 per dozen. Some handsome an-
tirrhinums are seen in the retail shops.
Outdoor lilac is in and used extensively
for decorative effects in the local flower
stores. Deutzias, snowballs and spiraeas
are also available. May-flowering
tulips are in plentiful supply and the
quality is excellent. Yellow daisies are
abundant for corsages. Sweet peas are
not so plentiful as they have been, but
continue to sell well. Lilium longi-
florum is abundant and used consider-
ably in funeral work. Callas are in
moderate supply.

Memorial day business is expected to
be good this year. It is doubtful
whether there will be any home-grown
peonies in the market, as the season is
too late. Snowballs and Spanish irises
will be in good supply, as well as tulips,
mignonette, primulas and stocks.

There is a plentiful supply of smilax
and asparagus. Hardy greens are sell-
ing well.

Various Notes.

W. J. & M. S. Vesey held their an-
nual sale of rose plants last week and
disposed of several thousands. They
are cutting some fine cattleyas and have
a fine crop of Shawyer and Sunburst
roses.

Miss Mildred Flick, of the Flick
Floral Co., accompanied by her brothers,
spent last week at Toledo, 0., the guest
of Miss Helen Patten, of the Patten
Flower Shop.

Visitors to the trade last week in-
cluded A. F. Longren, representing the
Poehlmann Bros. Co., of Chicago, and
I. M. Bayersdorfer, of Philadelphia.

The Market.

Despite the cold, rainy weather pre-
vailing a few days prior to and on
Mothers' day, the demand for flowers
was far in excess of the supply. Car-
nations were scarce and brought good
prices, most of them retailing at $1.50

per dozen. Boses also were rather
scarce. From present indications, Me-
morial day will find similar conditions.
Bedding stock never was better nor
more plentiful, yet the demand is such
that a few of the florists fear they will
run short. Peonies are backward this
season and few, if any at all, will be
ready to cut before next month.

Various Notes.

Lewis Henderson has the contract for
the bedding work at the Carter Lake
Club. It is the biggest job of its kind
in this vicinity.

Mrs. Charles Faulkner, who was oper-
ated on for appendicitis last week at
St. Joseph's hospital, is progressing
nicely.

Mothers' day business at The Fern-
ery was almost equal to that of Easter.

The S. L. Faulkner range, on South
Fortieth street, is a busy place. Mr.
Faulkner's bedding plants are as fine
as may be found anywhere and he has
no trouble in disposing of them. Hang-

Independence, la. — With a brass
band, flying streamers and 700 visitors
to take care of, E. N. Whitney had a
busy time on the opening day of his
florists' business here.

La Crosse, Wis. — Mrs. A. Guillaume
miraculously escaped death recently
when a large tree suddenly crashed
through the glass of the greenhouse in
which she was working.

Gallipolis, O. — S. White will proceed
at once with the rebuilding of two of
his houses, one 18x104, the other 29x130.
In planning his heating apparatus he is
preparing to add another house 25x140.

Fort Recovery. — The brightest store
front in town is that of H. C. Schnei-
der's meat market, where the store is
gay with geraniums, pansies, begonias,
ferns, heliotropes, salvias, eannas, car-
nations, fuchsias and other plants. Mr.
Schneider sells plants from the green-
houses of George Popp, Jr., and has
done an unusually large business this
season.

Emlenton, Pa. — A suit to recover
$3,000 damages to hardy cut ferns in
storage has been started by G. Couvelas
against a cold storage company at Oil
City. In 1913 Mr. Couvelas sent a
large quantity of fronds to the re-
frigerating concern, to be stored until
he could find a sale for them; but the
ferns are alleged to have been kept in
too warm a room and were spoiled. It
is said that the exact temperature un-
der which the fronds were to be kept
was specified in the contract.

NEW BEDFOBD, MASS.

Tlie Market.

Warm weather has made the bedding
plant business good. Higher prices
prevailed on cut flowers, owing to
Mothers' day. The call this year for
Mothers ' day seemed to be a little more
for colored flowers than usual. The
trade in general reported a good week.

Varlotis Notes.

After five months of illness, William
E. Mosher is back in the ring. He has
leased the place on Court street for-
merly occupied by Fred Eeynolds, who
now has a store in the Olympia build-
ing. Everybody wishes Mr. Mosher
success.

Julius, the Florist, reports a good
week of business. He recently filled an
order for a blanket of Sweetheart roses
and sweet peas, with a fringe of
adiantum.

Ernest Chamberlain did a good busi-
ness for Mothers' day.

Edward M. Peirce, of the Peirce
Greenhouses, Cottage street, says he has
not the slightest fault to find with
business. Last week was unusually
good for this time of the year.

USINGER'S UTTERANCES.

G. W. Frisch & Sons, of Dayton, O.,
will enlarge their ofiice and store this
summer. •

J. F. Young, of Dayton, was making
preparations for a good Memorial day 's
business.

W. W. Horlacher, of Dayton, has
some fine specimens of Japanese wis-
tarias in bloom. Mr. Horlacher has a
I 'house of novelties," in which noth-
ing but the unusual is found.

M. D. Schmidt & Son, of Dayton, were
extremely busy with plants, featuring
porch boxes and hanging baskets.

The Heiss Co., of Dayton, was busy
with funeral work and table decorations.
Mothers' day sold all the stock obtain-
able and cleaned up everything that
looked like a flower.

C. P. Bethards, of Springfield, O., has
moved to a store in the Arcade.

Harriet Van Meter, of Springfield,
had a nice showing of cut fiowers. The
Ophelia rose is the favorite of Miss
Van Meter's customers.

An unusual window of bisque figures
filled with cut flowers was seen at T. J.
Ludwig's, at Columbus, O. These little
figures make an unusual displaj^ and are
appreciated by those looking for
novelties.

The Livingston Seed Co., of Columbus,
was rushed with work in the seed and
shrubbery departments. The cut fiower
department also is doing well.

ff -THE ^Ns,

THE FREESIA FAMILY

AND ITS FORTUNES

W/tew enumerating the evidences of recent progress in the florists'
trade, do not forget the freesia. As a culti/uated flower ii has had a
comparati/vely brief career, hut its improvement in so short a period
ha^ been remarkable. And its advance is only one of the symptoms
of the general advance in the trade.

HOUGH not so staple a
product as is the rose or
carnation or chrysanthe-
mum, yet the freesia is in
some respects a typical
florists' flower. Not only
is it typical, or truly rep-
resentative of florists '
stock in general, but it
serves especially well to
exemplify or illustrate certain trade
principles, on account of the brevity and
distinctness of its history. It clearly
illustrates a trio of important practical
truths.

A Trio of Trutlis.

In the first place, its rapid improve-
ment in quality demonstrates that the
trade is animated by a spirit of prog-
ress. The men who, as a body, have
performed such wonders with the free-
sia have thus shown unmistakable signs
of life. They are not somnolent; they
are not afSicted with suspended anima-
tion; they are not in need of a pulmo-
tor. They are not
Rip Van Winkles.
There is real en-
couragement and in-
spiration in that
fact.

But, coming to
the second truth in
the trio, the career
of the freesia also
draws attention to
the sobering and
admonitory fact
that a flower's pop-
ularity depends
largely — principally,
shall we sayf — on
th e maintenance
and improvement
of the flower's qual-
ity. If any grow-
ers fear that their
favorite flower is in
danger of eclipse,
let them get busy
and accomplish such
feats as have been
accomplished with
the freesia. O f
course, many grow-
ers are doing so, be-
sides the freesia
growers. The free-
sia is not alone in
its glory; it is sim-
ply a conspicuous
example of success.

Again, the meth-
od or order that has

been followed in the improvement of
the freesia — ^first the perfecting of the
flower in its original color, a so-called
white, and then the addition of varie-
ties in other colors — may contain help-
ful hints for the growers of other flow-
ers. So much for the trio of truths,
with their encouragement, warning and
guidance.

Its Family BelatlonsMps.

Something has just been said about
the freesia not being alone in its glory.
In one respect, however, the freesia may
be said to have been notable in its
early history for its lonesome, kinless
seclusion. According to the best ob-
tainable botanical authority, the freesia
family — or genus, to be precise — as na-
ture gave it to us, consisted of only one
species, F. refracta. The irregularly
formed, dimly colored, neglected little
F. refracta is said to have been the pro-
genitor of the entire modern race of free-
sia beauties — a bevy of dazzling belles
from plain, unfashionable ancestry.

This Vase of Rainbow Freesia Showed Many Distinct Colors.

But in a broader sense the freesia,
since the beginning of its history, has
had hosts of distinguished relatives. Its
family, or genus, is a member of the
iridacese, the same great order or group
of genera to which the iris and gladio-
lus also belong. The word "iris," you
know, means "rainbow," or "rainbow-
cclored, " and it might here be noted
that a certain successful experimenter
with freesias is now introducing a
strain of flowers which he has called
the Rainbow freesias, with even more
of a striking appropriateness in the
name than is apparent at first thought.

Work of Fischer and Frey.

It is strange that the humble, dull-
hued, patchy-white F. refracta con-
tained the potent germ of all the beau-
ty that has been developed in the mod-
ern freesias — in the clear white of
Fischer's Purity, and in the rich and
varied tints of Fischer's and Frey 'a
latest offerings. Great credit is due,
of course, to Fischer, Frey and others,
but all the beauty
was there, wrapped
up in the unprom-
ising F. refracta —
all the beauty un-
folded in the best
present varieties
and the still great-
er beauty to be re-
vealed in the free-
sias of the future.
Let us glance a
little more closely
at one or two of the
details of the free-
sia's history.
Though the flower,
a native of South
Africa, has been in
cultivation since
1816 or thereabouts,
it received little at-
tention until a quar-
ter of a century
ago. As already
intimated, the first
effort was to pro-
duce an improved
white freesia, a
purer white and of
better form than
the old F. refracta.
The first note-
worthy result of
this effort was the
arrival of F. re-
fracta alba — not
white enough to be
true to its name.

but having a clearer complexion than
its sallow and freckled parent. What
might be termed the climax or culmina-
tion of the effort was the advent of
Fischer's Purity. "Might be termed
the climax" — yes, might be, were it
not for the fact, as stated in a recent
issue of The Eeview, that Mr. Fischer
"now has a white that grows thirty
inches or more in height, with a large,
branched spike, any of the branches of
which are larger than the finest Purity.
The petals are like ivory; the individ-
ual blossoms are two inches across and
of the purest white." Perhaps that is
a real instance of capping a climax,
grammarians to the contrary notwith-
standing.

Freesias in Fancy Hiies.

Thus ends, as far as staged at pres-
ent, the first great act in the freesia
drama, the production of a well-nigh
perfect white flower. And now begins
the second act, the development of
freesias of other colors and with as
much as possible of the impi'oved form
of the latest and best white. For Mr.

Fischer this season offers to the trade
a lavender-tinted freesia which he has
named F. splendens, and other colors
are to follow. And Alois Frey, of
Crown Point, Ind., last year placed on
the market both bulbs and blooms of
his Eainbow strain. Like Mr. Fischer,
Mr. Frey grows the bulk of the bulbs
outdoors in California, where he has one
of his Crown Point men in charge.

It is well understood, of course, that
it would not be profitable for the or-
dinary, general florist to grow his own
freesia bulbs. It is usually more eco-
nomical, and more satisfactory in vari-
ous ways, to purchase them from spe-
cialists.

Since the freesia is easily grown, fra-
grant and attractive; since it endures
more neglect in private homes than do
most other bulbous plants; since its
season of blooming can be greatly pro-
longed; since the flowers last a long
time when cut and placed in water —
since it has all these good qualities,
perhaps some florists who arfe looking
for more varieties of flowers to grow
might do worse than try the freesia.

TO MABTIN MONEYMAKER.

Dear Martin: You have bought my
carnations for many years; darnations,
you pleasantly called them when there
were more than usual, or when business
was a trifle slack. You took them, and
you paid me a fair price. I have done
pretty well. The wife has had good
clothes for best and the children have
had good schooling for every day. Since
you put in that buyer, Martin, things
are not the same. I say "Darnation!"
every morning, sometimes out loud,
sometimes under my breath, for that
buyer has my goat. He has carnations
from every place you ever heard of.
He lays them all out side by side, com-
pares the price and takes the best, or
the lowest .priced. Sometimes when
business is off he will take six from
one of my bunches and hand me back
nineteen. The impudence of the thing
is startling. I have looked the matter
over carefully, Martin, and I find we

. .; -v.y

are going to split on this buyer fellow.
It just comes to this: He gets, or you
and he get. What makes life worth
while! The happiness of the wife and
children. You say things are changing,
Martin, and maybe they are, but the
enthusiasm needed to make a man work
early and late to raise good flowers
isn't produced by pulling him through
a clothes press every day. I won't be
in tomorrow.

Sorrowfully yours,

George Grower.

WHOSE THUNDER IS IT?

The newspapers the country over are
spreading the fame of Miss Jarvis as
being the originator of Mothers' day.
In The Review for May 18, on page 32,
under the heading of * ' Mothers ' Day, ' '
the editor says, in part: "The idea of
Mothers' day originated outside the
trade."

Now, with all due respect to Miss

Jarvis, I want to say that she is not
the originator of Mothers' day and I
am much surprised that The Eeview
is not posted as to its origin. Henry
Clark, deceased, of Omaha, who was a
florist, was the originator and it was
he who had the mayor of Omaha pro-
claim the day. Mothers' day was ob-
served in Omaha and Lincoln quite a
long time before it was ever heard of
in the east. If anyone is in doubt re-
garding the above, further information
can be given on the subject.

L. S. Hinea.

on. AS FUEL.

I have read with interest the discus-
sion in recent issues of The Review
concerning the use of fuel oil under
greenhouse boilers, and I am tempted
to give my experience in that line. I
find oil a most satisfactory fuel under
the standard type of horizontal tubular
boiler. I believe it will add nearly
twenty-five per cent to the heating ca-
pacity of a boiler of forty or more
horsepower.

A steam pressure of thirty pounds
per square inch is about as low a pres-
sure as will operate the system eco-
nomically. Although twenty-five pounds
will do, thirty or thirty-five pounds is
more efficient.

We use a homemade burner, plans of
which were published about three years
ago. From my knowledge of oil and
its peculiarities, I would not think of
using it for hot water heating, or for
steam under less than a 30-pound pres-
sure. W. H. Cuip.

NOT THE TBUE SHAMBOCE.

Under another cover I am sending
some foliage of a plant and would like
to know if it is from a real shamrock
or not. It does not look like the plants
the florists grow and sell as shamrocks.

E. J. L. — ^Mass.

The leaves had almost completely de-
cayed before they came to hand. This
is a species of trrfolium, probably T.
repens, the common white clover, which
is often sold as a shamrock. Trifolium
minus and oxalis are usually offered as
the true shamrocks. C. W.

MarysvUle, Kan. — H. E. Fisher has
been leader of the men's gospel team of
the M. E. church for the last two years,
during which the team tas been ex-
tremely active. He is planning a strong
campaign through the district during the
summer now approaching.

INSECTICIDES A DANOEK.

Another Accidental Poisoning Case.

At Louisville, Ky., last week a woman
of the class constituted by florists' best
patrons prepared to clear out the in-
sects that were troubling her plants —
she poured two teaspoonfuls of a stand-
ard nicotine extract into a quantity of
water in a discarded bottle that previ-
ously had contained mineral water. The
bottle and the sprayer were left on
the back porch until a convenient time
for use.

It was the habit of the lady's father
to take a glass of mineral water after
each breakfast. Next morning he saw
a bottle with the familiar label sitting
on a shelf on the cool back porch,
sought a glass, poured out his customary
portion and drank it down. But he
noted a peculiar taste! Investigation
and the doctors followed. Great pain!
Lapsing consciousness! Death in four-
teen hours!

These were persons of means; no re-
source of the medical profession was
neglected.

Other Deaths From Nicotine.

The Louisville case last week was one
in which diluted nicotine extract was
imbibed by mistake and proved fatal.
What, then, where the undiluted article
is taken? There have been several such
cases.

One of the earliest was recorded in
The Review for July 4, 1907, as fol-
lows:

"The 6-year-old son of Herman Loch-
man took a swallow of nicotine extract
Sunday afternoon and died before his
father could reach a physician two
blocks away.

"Mr. Lochman has charge of the sec-
tion of the Bassett & Washburn plant
which is devoted to smilax, asparagus
and other greens. He is one of their
oldest and most highly valued employ-
ees. He has a pleasant home at Hins-
dale, with some roses in the garden.
Sunday he procured a bottle of nico-
tine extract from the greenhouses for
the purpose of spraying the rose bushes.
Using only part of the contents of the
bottle, he hid the rest under the porch.
The boy went under the porch after
a baseball which had rolled there, and
found the bottle. Tasting its contents,
he screamed and the father, who was
only a few feet away, took him in his
arms and started for the doctor's. When
he reached there the boy was dead. He
had strangled. The shock to Mr. Loch-
man was so great that Sunday after-
noon it was necessary to restrain him
from doing himself violence. He has a
wife and two daughters.

"Keep the nicotine extract under
lock and key."

Another Child Meets Death.

During the following summer this
item appeared:

"The Chicago market was shocked
this week by the news of the tragic
death of Lambert Mann, son of Mathias
Mann, of Zech & Mann. It was caused
by drinking a nicotine extract used for
fumigating. The accident took place
the evening of July 29, shortly after
the supper hour, when Lambert, a
bright little fellow of 8 years, came
upon a bottle that had at one time con-
tained root beer, but had since been
■filled with the nicotine extract. Not
aware of the contents of the bottle, or
the danger that lurked therein, and
supposing that it was the usual bever-
age that he had been accustomed to
seeing around the house, the lad placed
the bottle to his lips and, without wait-
ing to taste or smell of the fluid, swal-
lowed a good portion. Crying out to his
mother, he fell into Mrs. Mann's arms
and expired before she could either lend
or call assistance. The same kind of an
accident occurred at the Bassett &
Washbm-n plant last year."

Cyanide Also Is Deadly.

Since these two early • cases there
have been others no less tragic. And
nicotine is not the only greenhouse
poison that holds danger for human
life; cyanide is as quick and as deadly.
One of the saddest happenings in this
connection is the trial now in progress
at Waukegan, 111., where one set of law-
yers is trying to prove the son of a
gardener administered cyanide to his
erstwhile sweetheart, the daughter of
another gardener, while a second set of
lawyers is trying to prove that the girl
took the cyanide with suicidal intent.
There is no direct evidence thus far
disclosed and the jury apparently will
have to decide from the circumstances

11

whether the young man gave the girl
poison from his father's stock of fumi-
gant or whether, for the purpose of self-
destruction, she took some from her
own father's supply. The state is try-
ing to prove murder, the defense, sui-
cide; but either side would fall could
it be shown the father's stock of fumi-
gating materials was inaccessible to any
but the man in charge, as it ought to be.
So far as the record goes, there is no
other case in which a charge of murder
has been based on the easily obtained
poison used in greenhouses.

Bestraint Is Coming.

But greenhouse insecticides soon will
be less easily obtainable if not more
carefully handled. Indeed, already it
is against the law in Illinois for any
seed store, florist or florists' supply
house to sell most of the standard
greenhouse insecticides and they lay
themselves liable to a fine of not less
than $10 or more than $150 with each
sale. The prohibition lies in the fact
that the labels on the packages of in-
secticide do not conform to the require-
ments of pharmacy law, which, in Sec-
tion 12, says:

"Nothing contained in this section
shall apply to the * * * sale of
Paris green or lead arsenate, or other
poisonous substances or mixtures of
poisonous substances, in unbroken pack-
ages, for use in the arts or for insecti-
cide purposes: Provided, They bear a
label with the name, or names, of such
poisonous substances and the word
'poison' printed thereon in prominent
type and the names of at least two
readily obtainable antidotes with direc-
tions for their administration."

Evidently the Kentucky doctors who
attended the gentleman who drank di-
luted nicotine knew of no readily ob-
tainable antidote, for the patient lived
fourteen hours. Bead the labels. How
many of them conform to the require-
ments of the Illinois lawt

Thus far there have been no prosecu-
tions of seedsmen or florists under the
Illinois law, and hence no demand on
the manufacturer that labels be made to
conform to the law, but the Board of
Pharmacy is working steadily toward
a strict enforcement of the law.

Hard- Wooded Plants.

Such plants as azaleas, ericas and
camellias can be carried through the
summer either planted outdoors or in
pots plunged to their brims. Planted
out stock seems to do best. Of course,
there is the additional labor of repot-
ting in the fall, but there is far less
labor watering through the summer
and the plants take on added vigor.
While they will grow well in ordinary
loam, they succeed much better if peat
and leaf-mold can be added to the soil
and well incorporated with it. If the
soil is naturally heavy, use some sharp
sand in addition. Plant out this class
of stock at once and be sure to have a
hose connection convenient, as they need

a good spraying once or twice daily in
hot weather. It is not necessary to
have these plants in the shade. They
will flower more freely if given full
sunshine.

Hydrangeas.

There still is time to take cuttings of
Hydrangea Otaksa and the French va-
rieties, but there should be no delay in
doing so, as propagation of plants is
more difficult in hot weather. Cuttings
taken as late as early September will
give plants which will produce one large
head each the following spring. For
early forcing it is much better to carry
the hydrangeas over summer in pots.
These will not produce so large plants
as those planted in the field, but they

will ripen their wood much earlier, as
in the case of pot-grown rambler roses.
Give the hydrangeas rich soil, keep
them constantly cultivated and pot or
tub them before the fall frosts are suf-
ficiently severe to blacken the leaves.
Any unsold plants, if cut back and
planted out, will make strong plants fit
for large pots or tubs before fall.

Tuberous-Booted Begonias.

For bedding out, tuberous-rooted be-
gonias are good when they can have a
fair portion of shade. It is, however,
of no use to plant them in the full
sun. If you are bound to have be-
gonias, be sure to use the fibrous-rooted
section, such varieties as Vernon,
Erfordii and Gloire de Chatelaine. Ee-
markably fine tuberous begonias may
be had outdoors if they have the needed
shade and are given a mulch of old
hotbed or mushroom manure and an
occasional soaking of water. It is,
however, as pot plants that these be-
gonias are of special value for the next
three or four months.

They need an ordinary, well ven-
tilated greenhouse where they have
sufficient shade to prevent burning.
They will keep green and fresh under
heavy shade, but will be much weaker
and the flowers will lack substance.
Use a light but rich compost for them
and apply liquid manure freely when

they become potbound. Seedlings
started in February, if kept potted
along, will make useful plants in 5-inch
or 6-inch pots by the end of July.

Hardy Boses.

Attend to the necessary disbudding
of hardy roses in good season. It means
much finer flowers. Green aphis will
make its appearance along with th6
flower buds and must be fought with a
soap or nicotine spray. For rose slugs
it is best' not to use arsenate of lead,
as it whitens and disfigures the foliage.
White hellebore, applied by means of a
powder bellows, while dew is on the
plants, serves well, and on dry foliage
it can be applied in liquid form. Look
out for any Manetti and briar stocks
starting from below the ground, or they
will soon cripple the plants. Ii you use
own-root roses you are all right. Un-
fortunately for those in the colder
states, own-root roses are lacking in
both vigor and hardiness compared with
budded stock. A top-dressing of^ dried
blood hoed in at this time will be
found beneficial.

Amaryllis.

The flowering season for amaryllis
passed some time ago. That too often
means that the plants will get little
attention during the remainder of the
season. Some growers even lay them

on their sides immediately after flow-
ering. This is absolutely wrong. The
plants should now be growing vigor-
ously in a greenhouse and should be
encouraged by a top-dressing of Clay's
or a soaking of liquid manure. After
June 1, if you need the greenhouse for
some other purpose, plunge the amaryl-
lis in an old coldframe, packing half
decayed leaves about them, and keep
the sashes elevated at the top and bot-
tom all the time. They will need a
hosing each day, but if the plants are
well plunged and the sashes are shaded
water will not be necessary nearly so
often as when in the greenhouse. Keep
the seedlings growing along; they
should have no rest until they flower.

Nerines.

The foliage on tl
Guernsey lilies, is now turning yellow
and the plants need not have any more
water until fall. Keep ijae plants under
sashes and do not alloliF^hem to have
any water whatsoever. What they
need in order to make them flower sat-
isfactorily is a thorough baking in the
sun all summer long. This may be
done on a greenhouse shelf, in a cold-
frame or, if preferred, outdoors, lay-
ing the plants on their sides on boards
in a hot, sunny location. They need
no further attention until spikes ap-
pear next September or October.

HABDY CHBYSANTHEMUMS.

fA paper by Chas. H. Totty, of Madison, N. J.,
read at the first monthly fiower show held In
connection with the Country Life Permanent Ex-
poeltion, in the Grand Central Terminal build-
ing. New York City.]

To the average lay mind, the term
* ' outdoor mums, ' ' until a recent period,
simply meant one thing, hardy pompons,
and while it is true that the pompons
are hardy enough, still the fact that
they do not bloom until so late mili-
tates considerably against their being
of much value to the cultivator, since
the foliage is often badly marked by
frost and cold winds before the flowers
develop.

The type of pl£*nt called early-flower-
ing, which has been largely developed
by August Nonin, of Paris, France, is
by far the most satisfactory for grow-
ing outdoors, and unless the situation
in which they are growing is too low
or exposed, they will come through the
average winter safely enough. This
early-flowering type, on which Mr. No-
nin has spent the best years of his life,
is a result of a strain of seedlings from
the old, ragged, hardy mums of our
grandmothers' gardens. The latter did
not have much beauty, but everyone ad-
mired their sturdy independence and
the fact that from year to year their
blooms braved the heavy rains and not
infrequently the early winter snows.
Their period of flowering is from Sep-
tember 15 to October 30.

Good Early-Flowering Varieties.

The number of varieties today of this
early-flowering type is legion, but a
dozen or so that I would suggest as be-
ing the most likely to give satisfaction
outdoors would be about as follows:

White — Cranf ord White, Dorothy,
Milka and Normandie. Normandie is
often classed as a delicate shade of
pink, but as a matter of fact the earlier
flowers are almost invariably white.
Normandie is the earliest variety we
have and, under average conditions, the
most satisfactory of this type. Yellow
— Cranf ordia, Etoile d'Or, Carrie and
October Gold. Pink — Beaurepaire, Eden,
Le Danube and Miss Burchfell. Bed
and bronze shades — Harvest Home,
Firelight, A. Barham and Billancourt.

There are many more excellent vari-
eties, but, as before stated, I am mere-
ly mentioning the best and earliest for
those who want to trim their list down
to a few varieties.

Hardy Pompons.

Hardy pompons are the type most
largely grown for outdoor flowering and
are valuable if one secures the right
varieties. By the right varieties I
mean those that will flower early enough
outdoors to develop perfectly before
the weather gets too cold.

The best of all the pompons is the
variety Lillian Doty, a large-flowered

pink which we introduced to the trade
in 1912, and which will make stems four
feet long. The color is delightful,
whether it is grown under glass or out-
doors, being the clearest bright pink
imaginable. The individual flowers meas-
ure approxiriiately two inches across,
and every stem will carry four to eight
of these flowers. »

A list of twelve or more of the best
varieties of pompons, in assorted colors,
would be about as follows:

Pink — Lillian Doty, Donald and Min-
ta. White — Queen of the Whites, Wa-
co, Grace and Myers' Perfection. We
might also include in this white section
the variety Garza. This is really an
anemone-flowered sort, but I am assured
by one of my customers, who has a sum-
mer home along the Jersey coast, that
it is entirely hardy and has bloomed at
her place year after year until Decem-
ber 1. Yellow — Jeanette, Wm. Sabey,
Golden Climax and Zenobia. Crimson
and bronze sorts — Julia Lagravere,
Urith, Tiber, etc.

Pompons That Bloom Too Late.

In addition to the varieties men-
tioned, there are many others that are
exceedingly beautiful and are well
known, such as Baby Margaret, a love-
ly white, and Baby, the tiniest yellow,
variety known, but I have omitted them
from the foregoing list of outdoor chry-

santliemums because they usually flower
too late for one to derive much satis-
faction from them.

The points on which the pompons suf-
fer in comparison with the early-flow-
ering varieties axe that the pompons
do not bloom until several weeks later
than the early-flowering varieties and
are not nearly so large when they do
come. There is, of course, a place for
both classes, since one type does not
bloom until after the others have gone
and the pompons have one advantage
in their cast-iron hardiness. I have
seen pompon blooms come through 10
degrees of frost, when the same tem-
perature blackened the open flowers of
the early-flowering type, though it did
not injure the buds.

Single Chrjrsantliemums.

It has been thought until recently
that the single mums would not develop
outdoors. This is a great mistake, as
some of you have perhaps discovered
by this time. A customer of mine,
Francis H. Bergen, of Summit, N. J., is
perhaps the most successful man I know
of in growing single mums outdoors.
He has a border on either side of his
front drive, leading to the front door
of his home; these borders from the
middle of October until late in Novem-
ber are things of beauty, and the most
striking types in the collection are the
single mums.

A list of a dozen of the best single
varieties would be about as follows:

White — Elsa, Gladys Duckham, Men-
sa and R. B. Burge. Pink — ^Ivor Grant,
Mrs. Southbridge, Mrs. Buckingham
and Miss Mary Pope. Yellow — Joseph-
ine, Golden Mensa and Marion Suther-
land. Crimson and bronze — Sylvia
Slade, Ceddie Mason, Brightness and
Margaret Walker,

In the single types, agaih, we have
many beautiful varieties, but they need
a greenhouse for their proper develop-
ment; therefore I have omitted them.

Planting and Transplanting.

Granted, then, that one has the best
varieties in their different types, in
each section, what is the way to handle
them in order to get the best results?
Get them from your dealer in the spring
as soon as the weather is warm enough

and the soil is in good condition' out-
doors. Set out the plants in rows eight-
een inches apart, with twelve inches
between the plants in the rows. They
should be kept pinched back during the
months of May and June, in order to
keep the stock dwarf and robust and
prevent the plants from growing too
high, necessitating considerable staking.
One mistake that beginners often
make is in assuming that the hardy
types do not require any attention in
the way of transplanting, from year to
year. If one is to grow these varieties
to the highest point of perfection, the
clumps ought to be taken up in the
spring and broken into individual
plants. These individual plants, when
planted in new soil, will invariably pro-
duce flowers of much finer quality than
the old clumps that have been left un-
disturbed. In this respect the mums do

not differ from many other perennial
plants of a like character, which are
benefited by this annual or biennial
moving and rejuvenation.

Summer Treatment.

Because you are not going to get flow-
ers until fall, do not neglect the plants
all summer and expect to have them ro-
bust when yon want them. If the sum-
mer is hot and dry, watering should be
resorted to once a week and the plants
should be sprayed in the cool of the
evening. In extremely hot weather this
will work wonders in keeping down the
black and green aphis, which are the
worst enemies of the chrysanthemum.

Begarding feeding, most of you, I
presume, are familiar with the fact that
the tremendous flowers one sees on ex-
hibition, from greenhouses, have been
fed with artificial fertilizer to bring

them to their high state of perfection.
Here, again, the advantage of the out-
door varieties is manifest, in that they
do not need this expert treatment as
the exhibition varieties do. If the
plants, when they are set out, are plant-
ed in good, rich, mellow, average gar-
den soil, they will get along satisfac-
torily. If the leaves on the plants are
not as large as they might be, a sprink-
ling of bone meal on the soil and sev-
eral inches of well decomposed stable
fertilizer, spaded in during the month
of August, will help wonderfully in fin-
ishing the crop.

As a rule, in the early fall the plants
are getting all the moisture they need
from the rains and therefore liquid feed-
ing may be dispensed with.

Winter Protection.

After the plants have flowered, the
question of protecting them through
the winter is of paramount importance.
Mr. Bergen, whom I have previously
mentioned, says that by his method he
has carried his plants over for years
and has yet to lose a root. After the
plants have finished blooming, he cuts
them down to about eight inches above
the ground and permits the autumn
leaves to blow in and fill up the beds.
If enough leaves do not blow in natu-
rally, he gathers them and covers the
beds to a depth of six or eight inches,
and then lays pine branches over the
tops of the beds to prevent the leaves
from blowing away. So treated, the
plants will not suflEer from freezing and
thawing in February and early March,
which is the cause of the death of so
much perennial stock that is usually
classed as hardy. The plants, being
kept covered from the sun, stay frozen
all winter and no harm results.

This method would not be so effective
in a position where the ground is low
and the plants are liable to stand in
water. I am convinced that a large
percentage of mums die in the win-
ter because they are affected with * ' wet
feet," but a well drained piece of
ground, covered in the manner de-
scribed, will bring through in good
shape any of the mums I have men-
tioned.

Hardy mums, while not as showy as
a bed of delphiniums or other blazing
summer beauties, are wonderfully at-
tractive and useful after all other flow-
ers are cut down by frost, and will
return to the cultivator results alto-
gether out of proportion to the labor
bestowed.

POISONED BAIT FOR OUTWOEMS.

Cutworms usually begin to damage
crops about this time in spring. Be-
tween this date and late June or early
July they often prove disastrous. The
worm, however, so closely resembles
the color of the soil in which it rests
during the day that the cause of the
crop injury is not always apparent. In
such cases a careful examination of
the soil surrounding the damaged plant
will probably reveal the worm curled
up in a little ball.

"When cutworms are abundant the
use of poisoned bait is recommended
by W. R. Walton and J, J. Davis, of
the U. S. Department of Agriculture.
The poisoned bait may be prepared by
mixing fifty pounds of wheat bran, two
pounds of Paris green, and six finely
chopped oranges or lemons. Low-grade
molasses is added until the whole mix-
ture attains the consistency of a stiff

dough. Water also may be added if
necessary, and middlings or alfalfa
meal may be substituted for the bran.
This bait should be distributed over
the infested area in small lumps, and
sprinkled sparingly around each plant.

MUST LET OUR MAILS ALONE.

"Delays in receiving shipping docu-
ments have caused great loss and in-
convenience by preventing prompt de-
livery of goods. In the case of the
MacNiff Horticultural Co., of New
York, large shipments of plants and
bulbs from Holland were, I am in-
formed, frozen on the wharves because
possession could not be obtained in the
absence of documents relating to them
which had been removed from the
Nieuw Amsterdam, Oosterdyk and Rot-
terdam," says President Wilson to the
British.

At last the government of the United
States has taken action in thei matter
of British interference with our mails,
which has been a cause of delay and
loss to many florists, seedsmen and
nurserymen ever since the British be-
gan removing for censoring the mails
on the Holland-America line boats.
In a note to the British and French
governments, made public May 26,
President Wilson calls on the allies to
cease at once their illegal acts. The
note says:

"The government of the United
States, in view of the improper meth-
ods employed by the British and French
authorities in interrupting mails passing
between the United States and other
neutral countries and between the
United States and the enemies of Great
Britain, can no longer tolerate the
wrongs which citizens of the United
States have suffered and continue to
suffer through these methods.

^^^'

"To submit to a lawless practice of
this character would open the door to
repeated violations of international
law by the belligerent powers on the
ground of military necessity, of which
the violator would be the sole judge.

"Manifestly, a neutral nation cannot
permit its rights on the high seas to be
determined by belligerents or the ex-
ercise of those rights to be permitted
or denied arbitrarily by the govern-
ment of a warring nation.

"The rights of neutrals are as sacred
as the rights of belligerents and must
be as strictly observed."

The President expresses confidence
that the allies will abandon their illegal
practices and then concludes the note
thus:

"Only a radical change in the pres-
ent British and French policy, restolring
to the United States its full right 'as a
neutral power, will satisfy this govern-
ment."

In just what manner the President
will manifest his intolerance if the
allies do not accede to his demand to
cease interfering with American mails
is a matter upon which administration
officials confess they have no informa-
tion. The President, it seems, has not
disclosed even to his closest advisers
whether he intends to back up his
strong words with equally strong ac-
tion, and, if so, what form that action
will take.

illlllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllinilllllllllllllllllllllllllllilllllllllllllllllllllllllllllS

MIIiDEW ON BAMBLEBS.

This is the season that many grow-
ers of rambler roses have trouble with
mildew and rust. In many places, espe-
cially in the south, this disease is so
bad that it is almost impossible to
grow good specimens of many of the
varieties.

Here at Nashville we have been ex-
perimenting with various remedies for
some time, in the hope of finding some-
thing cheap, odorless and nonpoisonous
that would clear up this difficulty. Last
season we hit upon permanganate of
potash and this season's further trials
have convinced us that we have found
the right thing.

We dissolve one tablespoonful of the
crystals of permanganate of potash in
two gallons of water and use it as a
spray. It is almost immediately eflfec-
tive. Plants that were so badly in-
fected that they looked entirely white
and moulded being effectively cleared
of the pest in two days. It is some-
times necessary to make two applica-
tions where the first job is not done
thoroughly.

We have never tried it on the roses
inside, but feel sure that what gives
such good results in the open cannot
but be helpful in the greenhouse. It
does not burn the foliage at all, even
where used much stronger than the
above directions. Floyd Bralliar.

PRIMUIiAS IN THE SOUTH.

Primula Chinensis and P. obconica
should be well started now in order to
have good-sized plants at holiday time.
P. malacoides need not be sown until
the middle of June, as this variety
grows faster than the other two. The
soil for all these should contain plenty
of leaf-mold and sand, to allow the
fine roots to work freely. Any outdoor
frame with a covering of lath sash will
suit them. They do not require so close
a shading as the cyclamens. What they
require most is plenty of room and a
good, moist atmosphere. P. malacoides,
after it is established in small pots,
may be planted out in the frame. It
will make finer plants when grown like
this and there is no difficulty in lift-
ing and establishing the plants in the
fall. L.

CYCLAMENS IN THE SOUTH.

Young cyclamen plants in the south
should be in their summer quarters
now. The best place for them is in a
frame in a lath house. During the hot
hours of the day they may require an-
other lath sash to prevent wilting, but
the sashes must be removed as early as
possible, or the plants are liable to be
drawn. When growing freely they need
a good deal of water. A fine, dew
spray at noon and another at quitting
time will keep them in good shape.

Thrips is the cyclamen 's worst enemy
and fresh tobacco stems should be
placed between the rows and renewed
every two weeks. Use leaf-mold free-
ly in the soil until the last shift in
October, when the soil can be much

stiffer. Shift the plants along as re-
quired, giving them only a small shift
each time. An occasional, stirring of
the surface soil will be of great benefit.
It is well to have some sashes at hand
to protect the plants from heavy rains.

L.

CARNATIONS IN THE SOUTH.

The prolonged drought in the eastern
and northern sections of the south is
having a ruinous effect on the young
carnation plants in the field, especially
where the soil is red clay. No rain has
fallen for more than a month and where
there is no irrigating system many
plants have died. To attempt to water
a patch of carnations with a hose is
mere folly; it is never possible to give
enough water by this method. Unless
you can soak the ground to a depth of
five or six inches it is better not to
water the plants at all, but keep the
surface soil well stirred.

Many growers now are planting the
young carnation plants rather closely
in frames, where they are easily reached
with the hose. In dry seasons this
method has a big advantage over the
field planting. We are trying a few
thousands this year in dirt bands as
an experiment against the spread of
stem-rot. The most serious objection
to these bands is the time required to
get them in position and filled, but if

A aOOD COMPOST.

One of the hardest problems I have
had to contend with since building my
greenhouse several years ago is how to
make good potting soil from the mate-
rial at my command. I want the soil
suitable for growing a general collec-
tion of plants. I have obtained a quan-
tity of soil from a fairly fertile loamy
field. To two wheelbarrows of this I
added one barrowful from a cow yard,
where there is twelve inches or more
of soil and manure. Please tell me how
to finish the compost into a good grow-
ing soil. Should bone meal be mixed
with it? If so, how much? I have
several bushels of sifted hardwood
ashes. I certainly shall appreciate your
advice. W. M. V. — Ga.

. Your soil as prepared will answer
well for many plants. Some varieties,
such as cyclamens, gloxinias, begonias,
calceolarias, cinerarias and most of the
bedding plants in the earlier stages of
growth, will do better if at least one-
fourth of the compost consists of leaf-
mold, or decayed leaves. Some sharp
sand also is beneficial. I would not add
the wood ashes to your compost for any
pot plants, but some could be advan-
tageously used in compost for carna-
tions. Pine bone meal may be added
for general bench crops at the rate of a
4-inch pot to each wheelbarrow load of
compost. This also will suit roses, cal-
las, chrysanthemums and geraniums. If
your soil is heavy, some sand and leaf-
mold will improve it. It is not possibly
to mix a compost to suit all pot or
bench plants. C. W.

Jackson, Tenn. — H. C. Brown origi-
nally came here from Hopkinsville, Ky.,
to manage the Metcalfe greenhouses,
but after a time he decided that he
might as well be owner and manager.
So a deal was arranged whereby Mr.
Brown became proprietor.

Nashville, Tenn. — In accordance with
its annual custom, the Mclntyre Floral
Co., May 22, made donations of fifty
plants to any of the city's charitable
institutions which would call at the
Hillsboro pike greenhouses. This is a
form of advertising the Mclntyre
brothers consider profitable.

Houston, Tex. — Memorial day in the
south is May 10, not May 30, as in the
north, and the trade had no special
rush to interrupt work on S. A. F. con-
vention preparations. The convention
garden is making progress and all the
plans for the convention are in an ad-
vanced state of preparedness except for
the outing of August 18, at the San
Jacinto battleground. This is to be
typically Texan and will be a decided
novelty to northern visitors.

Jacksonville, Fla. — Dr. H. Dux &
Bros., manufacturers of a widely used
brand of magnolia leaves, have incor-
porated at $30,000. The officers are:
President, H. M. Dux; vice-president,
M. M. Dux; secretary and treasurer,
John M. Dux.

Chattanooga, Tenn. — During the
Mothers' day rush W. F. Haeger took
pen in hand and penned his favorite
paper the following: "Mothers' day is
only half over, but Chattanooga flo-
rists have sold every blessed thing.
Flowers can't be had at any price."

Alvln, Tex. — The shippers of cape
jasmines here never have had a better
Memorial day since the industry at-
tained its present large proportions.
The high prices carnations commanded
at recent holidays and the lateness of
the peonies all helped to make an extra
good demand for the southern garde-
nias, so that excellent prices were real-
ized for large shipments. Most of the
stock went direct to retail florists, only
a small percentage being sold through
commission bouses.

COLOR CLASSIFICATION.

The American Peony Society is to
hold its thirteenth annual exhibition at
the American Museum of Natural His-
tory in New York, opening June 9.
Competition is not restricted to mem-
bers of the society and many trade
growers are expected to set up vases
of their best blooms in one or another
of the fourteen classes open to com-
mercial people. The amateur interests
are being specially well looked after
this time.

The society announces: "There al-
ways is some uncertainty about color
classification in peonies. For instance,
the variety Baroness Schroeder is some-
times entered as flesh-pink, sometimes
as white. The understanding in the
Peony Society is now that in cases
where there may fairly be a difference
of opinion, an exhibitor shall not be dis-
qualified on the ground of misclassiflca-
tion."

THE BOTRYTIS STEM-HOT.

Can you tell me the cause of the stem-
rot on the peony plants that I am send-
ing with this letter? For two years a
few plants have been affected in this
manner, beginning to rot just above
the roots, finally drying up and drop-
ping off while the tops still seem to be
healthy. What can be done to prevent
this? C. H. H,— Me.

An examination of the specimens
shows that they are affected with the
botrytis stem-rot, one of the commonest
and most destructive diseases of the
peony. H. H. Whetzel, collaborator in
plant-disease survey in the U. S. Depart-
ment of Agriculture, stationed at Cor-
nell University, Ithaca, N. Y., where the
American Peony Society has its test
grounds, has made an exhaustive study
of the stem-rot disease of the peony, the
results of which were incorporated in an
address before the Massachusetts Horti-
cultural Society, from which the fol-
lowing is quoted:

"The botrytis blight is by far the
most common and destructive disease
of the peony so far as known at pres-
ent. This disease is frequently epi-
demic, especially during wet springs. It
occurs wherever peonies are grown, ap-
parently the world over. It is well
known in Europe, especially in Holland
and England. Much in the way of scat-
tered notes and records of its occur-
rence have appeared in florists' papers
and experiment station reports for the
last twenty years. I published a short
article on the symptoms and destruc-
tiveness of this disease in the trade
press in September, 1912.

"The disease affects stems, buds and
leaves, appearing on these organs in the
spring and summer in the order given.
The first appearance of the malady is
almost always early in the, spring, as
the stalks are coming up. Shoots four
to eight inches tall, their leaves not yet
expanded, will suddenly wilt and fall
over. Examination shows them to be
rotted at the base or below the surface
of the soil. The lesions begin usually
at the base of the first leaf sheath and
spread down to the crown and up often
an inch or more above ground. The
rotted portion soon becomes covered
with a felty brown coat of Spores and
spore stalks of the fungus, thus distin-
guishing it from the similar stem-rot
caused by sclerotinia. While it is gen-
erally the young stems that are affected,
I have seen stalks with blossoms open-
ing, suddenly wilt and fall over from
botrvtis stem-rot at the base.

' ' The cause of thjp disease has long
been attributed to tft fungus, botrytis
found constantly aapociated with the
lesions on styem, bu^and lead. There
are many described species of botrytis
some of which are common on green-
house and garden crops. The botrytis
forms found on peonies have been re-
ferred usually to Botrytis vulgaris, or
Botrytis cinerea, and Botrytis pseonite
the last described by a Hollander as
the cause of the disease in that country.

"My own studies indicate that there
are at least two distinct species of bo-
trytis attacking and causing identical
symptoms in the peonies, both in this
country and in Europe. The species,
while quite distinct in structure, are
similar in their life habits and effects
on the peony. One forms large sclerotia
(resting bodies), while the other forms
minute ones. I have never seen the
sclerotia of the large form except in
my cultures, but the small ones are com-
monly formed in the diseased stalks
just beneath the epidermis and appear
as black pimples the size of a pinhead.
Presumably they serve to carry the
fungus through the winter on the old
stubble left by cutting away the tops.
There in the spring they probably give
rise to a new crop of spores, in just
the best position to infect the new
shoots when they come up. I have not
yet determined whether these pathogens
ever attack crowns and roots or not.

"Eradication measures offer the most
promise of success in the control of the
botrytis blight. To be effective, how-
ever, they must begin with the care-
ful removal of the old stubs in the
autumn or early in the spring and be
prosecuted persistently throughout the

season. To 'remove the old stubble
carefully, remove the soil from the
crown, 80 as not to injure the buds.
Cut away, the old stalks close to the
crown and burn. These old stalks har-
bor the fungus. Beplace the soil re-
moved with fresh, clean soil, preferably
sand, or at least a top coat of sand.

"When the shoots begin to appear,
inspect them daily and remove by cut-
ting close to the crown any that show
wilting. These should be burned. By
promptly removing these wilting shoots,
you prevent the crop of spores that al-
ways appears if the dead shoots are
left and so greatly reduce the chance
of infection of buds and leaves. The
daily inspection must now include the
young growing buds and any that begin
to turn brown or black and die must be
removed and destroyed. As the buds
grow older and approach the blooming
time, the infection will usually be first
evident at the base of the bud on one
side as a brown lesion, which will grad-
ually spread up, involving the entire
bud, turning it brown. Spreading
downward, it gradually involves the
entire circumference! of the stem,

"It will be important to detect these
lesions in the early stages and remove
the diseased buds, for spores are pro-
duced most abundantly on rotted buds
and are also in the most favorable posi-
tion for distribution by wind and in-
sects to healthy buds.

"Spotted leaves should also be
promptly picked off. However, if the
early spring inspection and eradica-
tion operations have been thorough and
there are no diseased peonies near by,
the foliage will probably suffer but
little. In wet seasons these inspections
should be made daily. In dry weather
less often will suffice. For the nursery-
man or the grower of large numbers of
peonies, this method of control may not
be profitable, but for the small grower
or in the private garden where a rela-
tively small number of clusters are
planted, it will be found entirely prac-
ticable and profitable. Even in a large
area I believe the eradication measures
I have outlined are worthy a thorough
trial."

THE NEW MISSOURI SOCIETY.

Florists Shape Body at Coliunbia.

The Missouri State Florists' Associa-
tion was organized at Columbia, Mo.,
May 24. The meeting was called by
Chairman Wells of the St. Louis Flo-
rists' Club committee and quite a num-
ber of tradesmen responded. The gath-
ering would have been larger if the
state's florists bad completed their
planting of bedding stock. On the ar-
rival of the organizers at Columbia,
they were met by Prof. H. F. Major and
Dr. Whitten, of the state university,
who escorted them to the Horticultural
building, where the meeting was held.
Dean Munford, of the university, made
an address of welcome, which was re-
sponded to by Alex Lorie, of St. Louis.
W. S. Wells appointed a nominating
committee of three, Jules Bourdet,
Frank Windier, both of St. Louis, and
G. A. Kaupp, of Nevada. Another com-
mittee, consisting of Alex Lorie, Mr.
Barnes and Edwin Denker, was appoint-
ed to draw a constitution and by-laws.
The visitors were then takeii on an
automobile tour of the university
grounds and later were the guests of
Prof. H. F. Major at luncheon.

G« A. Kaupp, Presidentt Missouri State Florisb'^ Association.

The Officers.

At the next session the nominating
committee presented the following
names for the various offices: Presi-
dent, G. A. Kaupp, of Nevada; vice-
president, Edwin Denker, of St.
Charles; secretary, W. S. Wells, of St.
Louis; treasurer, C C. Sanders, of Clay-
ton. It was moved that these be elected
to the offices as selected by the com-
mittee. It was then moved that the
president appoint four vice-presidents,
two to serve two years and two to serve
one year, these also to act as a board of
directors.

J. F. Ammann, secretary of the Hli-
nois State Florists' Association, who
accompanied the St. Louis florists to
Columbia, was called on to tell of the
work of the Illinois society. Mr. Am-
mann responded in his usual interest-
ing manner. He gave the officers of
the young organization much valuable
information to work on. He was given
a vote of thanks. The remainder of
the meeting was occupied with talks
on plans for 1917. The next meeting
will be subject to the call of the board
of directors.

Dr. Whitten, Dr. Lawrence and Pro-
fessor Major then led the way to the
Columbian Club, where a buffet supper
and smoker was held. The students
and officers of the university were
present. The party from St. Louis was
not so large as was expected, but the
few that made the trip were glad that
they did so. All are m favor of hold-
ing the next meeting of the association
at Columbia. Secretary Wells said the
annual dues will be $2 per year and life

membership $15. Florists in Missouri
wishing to apply for membership should
address W. S. Wells, 4158 Flad avenue,
St. Louis. J. J. B.

Leaders of the Missourians.

The man selected as the first presi-
dent of Missouri's state organization
of florists has been in the business at
Nevada for twenty-four years, having
joined his father in the work as soon
as he had completed his schooling. The
firm for many years has been G. P.
Kaupp & Son. It has a prosperous re-
tail business, growing the greater part
of the plants and cnt flowers used, espe-
cially carnations. G. A. Kaupp is sec-
retary of the Masonic lodge and Royal
Arch Masons and recorder of the
Knights Templar at Nevada.

W. S. Wells came into this existence
in 1885 at Oxford, O., and not long
after entered the florists' trade, for his
father was a grower. At the death of
the latter, Mr. Wells took over the
business, but disposed of it in 1908.
He was associated with H. Schmidt &
Co., in his home town, until 1911, when
he went to St. Louis to take up work
in the Missouri Botanical Garden. In
1913 he left the garden to establish
the Wells Floral & Landscape Co. He
has been an active worker in the St.
Louis Florists' Club, in which he has
held many offices.

Lancaster, Pa. — Arrangements are be-
ing made to hold the fall flower show
November 9 to 12, under the auspices
of the Lancaster County Florists' Club.

NUMBER OF MEN EEQUIBED.

How many men should be needed to
do th.e work in a range of greenhouses
containing 75,000 square feet of glass,
where the crops grown are 24,000 car-
nations, 10,000 chrysanthemums, 5,000
roses and a general stock of plants?
We have day and night firemen. There
are six houses, each 27x300, and they
are in good condition. I should like
to get some facts from the experiences
of other firms under similar conditions.
K. S.— Wis.

It would be utterly impossible for
anyone who is unfamiliar with your
place and the conditions prevailiiig
thereon to give you an intelligent esti-
mate of the number of men required
to run it properly. The class and as-
sortment of stock grown and the
adaptability of the place to the stock
that is being grown would make all
the difference in the world between the
economical operation of one place and
that of another. A much better method
for getting at your problem would be
to estimate a fair day's work in any
given operation, and then see whether
or not each individual does a fair day's
work while being employed in that man-
ner. If each man comes up to the
standard in hia particular line, you will
have no reason to complain.

For instance, a fair potter will take
up 2,500 to 3,000 rooted cuttings, pot
them into 2-inch pots and set them
away, in a day of ten hours. If he has
to screen and get in his potting soil,
do much cleaning on the cuttings be-
fore potting, or carry the potted plants
a long distance, the quantity will be
cut down proportionately.

One man will be able to care for one
of your houses planted to roses or car-
nations for cut blooms, doing the water-
ing, the ventilating and the cutting of
blooms, and propagating enough stock
to replant the house each year. In
fact, he would do everything except re-
filling the house for replanting. If
the house were planted with chrysan-
themums there would be times when
extra help would be required. Few
places are run in this manner, how-
ever. A grower is given several houses
to look after. He will do the watering
and ventilating, and in addition to that
he will do whatever other work he finds
time to do, selecting for himself those
things which require a greater technical
knowledge than is possessed by the
average helper, of whom the required
number are supplied him, whenever
they are needed.

If I had your place, I would employ
a rose grower, a carnation grower and
a plant grower. The plant grower
would take charge of the chrysanthe-
mums, because the houses in which the
chrysanthemums are grown are most
likely used to a large extent for the
potted plants. Give each of these
three men his department to look after.
Then I would employ a number of help-
ers, who would change around from
one department to another, according
to where extra help is needed. Still
another man should be in charge of the
packing, as this department requires
both knowledge and skill of its own
particular kind. Above all, one man
should be in supreme authority. On
this man, more than on anyone else,
will depend the economical operation
of the place. He will plan the work
and see that each department works in
harmony with the rest. He may be one

of the three growers named above, or
he may be extra, and be free from the
vexing little details of a department,
thus having an opportunity to achieve
the best possible results. A. F. J. B.

The Market. ^

Memorial day business was excef)-
tionally good with most of the local
florists. As usual, those located near
a cemetery or who for other reasons
have a large business in potted plants
did better than those whose trade is
principally in cut flowers, funeral and
wedding work. But all did a satisfac-
tory business. Tens of thousands pf
geraniums,, petunias, heliotropes, fuch-
sias, verbenas, ageratums and other
plants were sold. Large numbers of
foliage plants were sold. Hundreds
of graves r.which several weeks ago
were planted to pansies were replanted
with blooming and foliage plants. Each
passing year sees a larger number of
potted plants sold by the grocery stores
at such times as Easter and Memorial
day, and, while this makes business for
the growers, it cuts into the florists
who maintain stores.

Iris has been jnuch more plentiful
during the last week than heretofore,
and gladioli, which made their appear-
ance a couple of weeks ago, are arriv-
ing in considerable quantity. Weather
conditions were such the early part of
last week that the development of car-
nations and other flowers was some-
what retarded. Still there was a con-
siderable sup'ply. Sweet peas were
plentiful and cheap.

Now that the greenhouses have been
cleared of Memorial day and bedding
stock, . the growers are beginning to

plan more actively for fall. They are
repotting their chrysanthemum cuttings
and planting or transplanting their
other fall stock.

Various Notes.

A. Deisler & Son, 31 Holland street,
report business satisfactory. They have
had a large amount of funeral work
of late.

Charles J. Connolly, 319 Bank street,
has made alterations in his store which
enable him to make a much more at-
tractive display.

Davies & Davis, wholesale growers at
Central avenue and Grove street. East
Orange, report a fine Memorial day
business in bedding plants. They are
now making their last potting of chry-
santhemums.

Because of the inclement weather the
early part of last week, Henry Hor-
necker, 77 Central avenue. East Orange,
was unable to get all his cemetery work
done by Memorial day, such was its
volume.

F. A. Kuehn, 621 Central avenue, has
been busy with cemetery work and has
had a large sale of plants at his store
and greenhouses.

Ernest Eadany, 596 Central avenue,
reports that the volume of Memorial
day and cemetery work he has had this
spring goes far ahead of that of previ-
ous years.

Charles Witheridge, 532 Broad street,
complains of the high prices charged
for bedding plants this season, most
of the leading kinds costing as much
wholesale this year as they are often
sold at retail.

Charles Trauth, 475 Orange street, is
much pleased with this spring's trade.
Funeral work has kept up well and
there has been a large sale of bedding
plants. E. B. M.

Aaron Shive, manager of the Flick

notes an increasing demand for flower-
ing plants, which calls for more material
and labor.

Mrs. E. Suder, of Toledo, O., is ex-
periencing the best season on record.
Each year sees better prices; choice
stock finds readier purchasers. Mrs.
Suder still takes an active interest in
the business, in which she is ably as-
sisted by her son.

Schramm Bros., of Toledo, were com-
menting on the rush of business when
they were interrupted by a hail storm.
"Another setback," observed B.
Schramm, "but we will get there yet."

G. F. Hartung, of Sandusky, O., is
one of the most successful market
gardeners in that locality. He reports
a better season for prices and is of the
opinion that growers are in good finan-
cial condition.

The F. A. Friedley Co., of Cleve-
land, O., intends this to be the last
season for roses and carnations at this
location. They will transfer this
branch of the business to the new es-
tablishment at Newton Falls, O. "Our
cut for Mothers' day," said Frank
Friedley, "was 8,000 blooms from the
same number of plants of Carnation
Pink Delight. It is a good keeper.

but we believe that in specializing in
fiowering plants and forcing stock, with
our convenient nearness to the city
stores, we shall do even better than in
the past."

L. F. Darnell, formerly, of the J. M.
Gasser Co., Cleveland, is back in town
and is the subject of various rumors
in both store and greenhouse matters.
Certain it is that a well known and
popular man in the trade, as he is,
will not remain long inactive.

A. Graham & Son, of Cleveland, find
some diversion in dodging missiles
thrown by joy riders on freight trains
which pass the end of the greenhouses.
Adam Graham II showed me a col-
lection of iron spikes and sprocket
wheels that made up an interesting
exhibit. The police authorities have
advised watching for the culprits and
firing blank cartridges, but Charles
Graham thinks it a poor return. As
soon as the rush of business is over,
an organized force will be formed to
cope with what, to say the least, is a
dangerous pastime and may become
serious and expensive.

and the Wilson Floral Co. are among
East Cleveland's most prosperous and
contented retail plant growers. W. M.

OBITUARY.

Mrs. A. I. Simmons.

Mrs. A. I. Simmons, aged 39 years,
died of heart failure while telephoning,
May 27, at 11:30 a. m. in the store of
her husband at 242 West Sixty-third
street, Chicago, 111. The funeral was
held from the home. May 29, and inter-
ment was in Oakwood cemetery. The
deceased is survived by her husband,
a 17-year-old daughter, Kuth, two sis-
ters and a brother. She had been her
husband's chief assistant in the store
for years.

Jonatlian Nash.

Jonathan Nash, of the firm of Moore,
Hentz & Nash, 55 West Twenty-sixth
street, New York city, who had been
ill during the last two weeks with pneu-
monia, died at his home Saturday morn-
ing. May 27, aged 63 years. He leaves
a widow, one daughter and three sons.
The funeral services were held at Grace
church. Tenth street and Broadway,
Monday, May 29, and were largely at-
tended by his friends in the trade.

Mr. Nash came to this country from
Hillingdon, near London, England,
twenty-two years ago. The Hillingdon
rose was his favorite always. He was
a member of the English Yeomanry and
was in the horticultural business all his
life, being known as " a Covent Garden
man." His first experience in America
was with Slaughter, the rose grower of
Madison. He then was connected with
the New York Cut Flower Co. and two
years later formed a partnership with
F. L. Moore and Henry Hentz as Moore,
Hentz & Nash. This partnership has
continued for eighteen years. Among
the many beautiful floral pieces at the
funeral was a blanket of valley by the
surviving members of the firm, besides
dozens of wreaths from all sections of
the city and his hosts of friends in the
trade. J. A. S.

NEW YORK.

The Market.

There was a big Memorial day busi-
ness up to noon May 29. The latter
part of last week summer temperature
prevailed, but the peony season is a
week late and there was a large short-
age for Memorial day. The advance
orders for peonies were enormous, espe-
cially from the smaller cities, and the
few peonies that arrived were absorbed
quickly at $1 per dozen. A few days
after Memorial day, one of the special-
ists prophesies, $2 toM^S. per hundred
will be the price an d^P million flowers
will be sold before the first ten days of
June are over.

Last week's values were maintained,
many declare, only by the lighter ship-
ments. Carnations, however, held up
in price phenomenally, a few selected
flowers bringing 6 cents May 28, when
the average quotations ranged from
$2.50 to $5 per hundred. These steadied
the whole market. The price of carna-
tions, however, broke badly late
May 29.

Eoses are arriving in greater numbers
and the general quality still is superb.
The hot wave has not yet affected
them. American Beauties are none too
plentiful and there was no diflSculty
in securing $25 per hundred for the
selects. The rose demand was heavy
May 28, especially for the lower grades.
Hadley, Brunner and Prima Donna still

are great favorites. There are plenty
of orchids and prices range from $10
to $35 per hundred. Gardenias have
followed violets into the realm of "in-
nocuous desuetude." [Lilies rose to 10
cents each May 28, with a few selling
at $1.50 per dozen, but inferior flowers
sold as low as $4 per hundred. Valley
sells at $4 down to $1, the latter figure
for the outdoor stock. There will be
no drop while the June weddings last.
There are plenty of callas and gladioli,
less iris, but oceans of sweet peas, the
Spencers only selling rapidly. The
usual assortment of spring flowers,
plenty of ramblers and a glorious col-
lection of tulips in great variety and
beauty, are in evidence.

Many orders reached the New York
retailers from other cities, for Memo-
rial day delivery here.

Various Notes.

It was a great shock to his many
friends in the trade when the death of
Jonathan Nash was announced May 28,
as every hope had been entertained for
nis ultimate recovery. He was a man
of charming personality and universally
beloved. Further particulars will be
found in the obituary column.

The weekly exhibition of plants and
cut flowers took place May 27 and
28 at Bronx park. On Saturday Prof.

Mr. Hanfling, of Russin & Hanfling,
is recuperating for a week in the Cat-
skills.

The woman's suffrage folks had a
gala day May 28, with decorated autos
at every corner on Fifth avenue, where
many thousands of roses^and other flow-
ers were sold for the "cause."

A. A. Young, of Jewett City, Conn.,
is shipping some exceptionally good
carnations to the Growers' Cut Flower
Co.

William Kessler and wife have re-
turned from a week's rest in the moun-
tains. Now Mr. Kessler and his force
are busy completing the improvements
in his store, building a new icebox lOx
18 feet, enlarging the office and the
department for cut flowers and elimi-
nating the conservatory.

George Siebrecht's sales of lilies May
28 were over 4,000.

June 3 the bowling club will play a

Brussels, Belgium. — Large quantities
of nursery stock are being moved to
Germany under special permit, the min-
ister of agriculture at Berlin being ac-
tively prosecuting the work of hus-
banding and developing that efficient
nation's agricultural resources,

London, England. — Official notice has
at length been given of the long pre-
dicted action of the government in the
matter of bulb imports. By an Order
in Council, signed by the king May 10,
the importation into the United King-
dom of bulbs, fiower roots, plants, trees
and shrubs is restricted to cases in
which special license is granted by the
Board of Trade.

Paris, France. — The French govern-
ment since December 26, 1914, has com-
pensated those whose property suffered
from German air raids, but the peren-
nial disagreement has arisen over the
value of greenhouse property. The Na-
tional Horticultural Society of France
has been appealed to and insists that
each board of appraisal shall contain
at least one member competent to place
values on growing plants.

Yokohama, Japan, — While it does not
appear that freight on bulbs to the
United States will show an early de-
cline, there should be no great difficulty
in finding space for the movement of
the 1916 crop, since the Nippon Yusen
Kaisha is to add a seventh steamer to
its service. Four of these liners run
between Hongkong and Seattle, but
three will be employed solely between
Japanese ports and Seattle, giving
three steamers per month instead of
twice a month as heretofore.

London, England. — At the meeting of
the Royal Horticultural Society May 2
an award of merit was recommended
for Ribes cruentum, a Calif ornian species,
forming a dwarf, diffusely branched
shrub, spiny, and bearing three or five-
lobed leaves a little smaller than those
of the gooseberry. The pendulous flow-
ers are about an inch long, the re-
curving outer petals being crimson-
maroon, the inner ones tubular and of
shell-pink tint, with white tips. The
fruits are covered with long spines.
This is a highly ornamental gooseberry,
the flowers being like small fuchsia
blooms.

RESULTS.

We give them. You get them.

We both have them.

Secretary J. H. Dick, Brooklyn, N. Y.,
has issued No. 3 of the bulletins of the
American Dahlia Society, a pamphlet of
eight pages of interesting matter for
dahlia growers.

The opening of June finds the bedding
plant season in general two weeks late
and the trade exceptionally active for this
date. Usually the business in bedding
plants is nearly over by Memorial day.

In these days of rapidly changing
styles in everything the human uses,
beauty in flower is not enough; we must
have novelty. And novelty in plants and
flowers is not so easily obtained as is the
case with woman's raiment.

American Beauty is having a fight
for life, in the east against Hadley, in
the west against Russell; but it remains
to be shown that any considerable num-
ber of growers can do the newer varieties
well enough to give them place as con-
tenders for Beauty's popularity.

A SUBSCRIBER asks The Review to name
for him a fancy carnation in each color,
those that ' ' have good, big, fancy flowers
but do not require special treatment."
Would that we could; there are many
who would like to grow fancy stock with-
out special treatment.

A number of large growers of roses for
the Chicago market have come to the con-
clusion that, except for the Christmas
crop, it pays best to grow short to me-
dium-stemmed roses without pinching,
which bids fair to improve the opportu-
' nity for the growers who hold tha op-
posite view.

selves the bother of annual renewal by

times $5, instead of the dollar bill that

BOOMING THE WHITE CARNATION.

President J. F. Ammann and Secre-
tary A. F. J. Baur, of the American
Carnation Society, last week sent the
following letter to members:

There Is no need for us to tell you of the
origin and history of Mothers' day. Nor do we
need to remind you that Mothers' day has brought
to all of us a lot of business that was most wel-
come, at a period when formerly the markets
were glutted with stock. These facts are well
known to all of us. It also is a fact that this
demand for our flowers was created without our
aid. It has cost the trade practically nothing
in dollars and cents.

Now, however, the time has come when we are
asked to lend a hand, an appeal for funds having
come to us from those who are promoting the
day. In the face of the facts as stated below,
we can hardly afford to turn a deaf ear to this
appeal. At least such was the view taken by
the board of directors at Its meeting In Phila-
delphia, March 26, and by whose order this let-
ter is being sent out.

When the movement was started, the founder.
Miss Anna .Tarvis, supplied what funds were need-
ed. She did this gladly, besides giving a large
portion of ber own time to the work, taking
for herself only the satisfaction It gave her to
thus honor her mother. The movement has grown
to such proportions now as to require financial
assistance from other sources and, naturally, the
promoters are turning to those who most have
benefited financially.

On account of the white carnation having been
chosen as the official badge for this day, the car-
nation industry has benefited to a greater extent
financially than any other and It seems fitting
that we show our appreciation in a most substan-
tial way. Therefore we proposte that the mem-
bers of the A. C. S. each contribute $2 towawl
a fund, which will be added to whatever funds
the S. A. F. may raise. Will you contribute your
mite?

There Is such a beautiful sentiment In the ob-
servance of this day that everyone should be
willing to help perpetuate It, regardless of the
business aspect. But inasmuch as it does bring
to us such volumes of business, should we not be
all the more willing and ready to give a small
portion of our profits toward such a commendable
cause? Send In your contribution today. Make
check payable to the secretary and stipulate for
Mothers' day fund.

A CLOUD WITH SILVER UNINO.

There have been many and, in the
aggregate, heavy losses on imported
stock this season, especially on bulb
and plant shipments via Rotterdam,
and the remark frequently is heatd,
"Never again, for me." Probably
most of those who today declare the
risks of direct importing outweigh all
chances of profit will sooner or later
succumb to the sweet promises of the
ubiquitous salesman from across the
water, whose persuasiveness is equaled
only by his persistence, but what dark
cloud of disaster has a brighter silver
lining than is contained in that "Never
again"? Not that the trade will or
should attempt to do without, or with

less, European stock, for we naed it,
but that importing is a business of
itself and should be left in the hands
of the houses equipped for it. The
man who needs a case or two of plants
or bulbs never should order them from
a European traveler; he should order
of a good, strong American house that,
first of all, will see to it that he gets
stock in satisfactory condition and,
secondly, will be quickly getatable in
case anything goes wrong.

Of course it is the difference in
prices here and in Europe that tempta
so many men to place small orders
across the water, but they lose sight
of the many expenses of shipment.
(This season small lots are showing as
ipuch as 200 or even 225 per cent of the
invoice price for charges.) The big
house can do it cheaper and better;
it is entitled to and fairly earns its
profit by saving the buyer time, tem-
per and "tin."

The attitude of the Holland ex-
porters is in a way. explained by the
fact that many, if not all, of them
have been insuring themselves against
claims in Dutch companies that acdept
risks of this character, but which now,
because of the number of claims, show
a disposition either to discontinue
writing such insurance or to raise the
premium sharply. Some exporters in-
dicate they must be protected from loss
if they are to continue shipment. If
the shipper can not stand the losses,
how can the importer? The answer
is to put the business in the hands of
fewer and larger people and let them
systematize it. It will be to the ad-
vantage of all concerned.

CHICAGO.

The Market.

Although Memorial day, 1916, will
not be remembered iii the Chicago
wholesale cut flower trade as a record-
breaker, it nevertheless was marked by
a large volume of business; in the mat-
ter of quantity of stock moved undoubt-
edly the largest of the year. Two
things seemed to conspire to defeat the
efforts of the growers and wholesalers.
They were the express drivers' strike
and the unfortunate weather conditions.
Fear of delayed shipment is thought
by some to have kept many orders
out of this market in spite of assur-
ances that there would be no delay.
The unseasonably warm weather of May
26 caused a softening of all stock, with
the result that the close of last week
and the opening of this one saw the
market crowded with open and inferior
flowers of all kinds. • Then, too, it
rained steadily all day May 29, scaring
off many local buyers. The beautiful
weather May 30 was a help to an elev-
enth hour rush.

No one wanted Beauties, which was
altogether agreeable to most of the
wholesalers, as Beauties were not plen-
tiful and those available were of poor
quality. Of really good roses of the
other varieties there was a pronounced
shortage, but of medium and indifferent
grades there was an abundance.

Peonies were in great demand and,
though there was much "shaker"
stock to be seen, there was enough good
stock to meet requirements. The waste
on peonies was unusually heavy, many
entire shipments and storage lots being
unsafe to sell, so dependable stock made
excellent prices. First-class carnations

ROS

SPECIAL CROPS AT A TIME OTHERS ARE OFF

E FORESAW the present trend of the Rose
market — crops running out and quahty getting
poor at the time when the need for FINE
flowers is greatest— so we arranged for some
special crops for June. You can get here White Killar-
ney, Killarney Brilliant, Mrs. Russell, Sunburst, Ophelia,
Ward and Milady that will please the most critical June
Bride or Girl Graduate.

PEONIES

$3.00 to $6.00 per 100

There is, perhaps, greater difference in the value of Peonies
than in any other flower. Given the right varieties, grown and
shipped by men who know how, there is nothing that makes a bet-
ter show for the money; but if from men who never learned the
"how," Peonies are likely to be absolutely worthless by the time the
retailer unpacks them.

Our Peonies are RIGHT in every particular — you'll make good
money on them in your June Wedding and Commencement work.

SPENCER SWEET PEAS

We are headquarters for the best grade of Sweet Peas— a large supply
in all colors. They are making a hit everywhere.

CARNATIONS

This is the time of year when you must be careful where you order Car-
nations. Nothing but the best will do. Ours are strictly high-grade.

were scarce, but this helped in the
clearance of larger quantities that
otherwise never could have been sold.
"Valley, as usual, was on the short side.
Cattleyas lived up to their established
record of scarcity. Contrary to their
experience of a year ago, Easter lilies
played a small part in the holiday de-
mand. This, perhaps, was due to the
small supply. Baby gladioli enjoyed a
ready sale, as did sweet peas. The
latter, however, are not cemetery
flowers and consequently most of the
sales were in the line of regular busi-
ness. Some double white narcissi made
their appearance just in time to get in
on the rush. Cape jasmine was easily
one of the best sellers on the market.
Miscellaneous stock, though not clear-
ing in all cases, was moved with a fair
degree of celerity. Greens were in good
demand, particularly ferns, but these
were on the short side of the market.

Express Drivers' Strike Situation.

The strike of wagon men of the ex-
press companies is dragging its weary
way along without change, putting
wholesalers and growers to no end of
inconvenience and considerable expense.
Considering that the management had
all but lost the strike, a committee of
drivers was appointed last week to
fight the employers. Saturday evening,
in the midst of the Memorial day rush,
Manager Lautenschlager, of the Whole-
sale Florists ' Cartage Service, got word
that the permits to move perishable ar-
ticles past the pickets were to be can-
celed forthwith, especially as a whole-
sale florist had been seen loading peo-
nies on an American Express wagon.
Mr. Lautenschlager, accompanied by
Treasurer E. C. Amling, A. L. Randall
and F. M. Johnson, paid a visit to the
union headquarters and, after much soft

speech that put a severe strain on
tempers, succeeded in getting a renewal
of their permit from the new strike
committee.

The wholesalers' cartage service still
is operating and is the sole dependence
of the market. The express companies
send occasional strike-breaker wagons
into the market section and let them
stand around under police guard, but
no real effort is made to give service.
Each morning there are rumors that
the next day will be the last of the
strike, but so far as any shipper can
see the situation is absolutely un-
changed.

Dr. Enapp's Peony Plantings.

Dr. A. J. Knapp, of Evansville, Ind.,
who sends thousands of dozens of peo-
nies to the E. C. Amling Co. each May,
has been in town several days, "seeing
for himself how they come out of stor-
age, how they open up and how the
buyers take to them," as he told The
Review.

"There are certain stages of life com-
mon to all males of the genus homo,"
the Doctor said. "First comes marbles,
then tops, base ball, horse-racing and
motoring, but eventually paths diverge;
some take up golf, others flowers. As
for myself, the more 1 worry about my
practice the more peonies I plant."
And the evidence is the doctor must
have worried quite a bit of recent
years, as he increases his shipments
heavily each season. He now has two
places, one at Evansville, the other
twenty-five miles away at De Gonia. It
is a successful man's hobby, but run on
a broad commercial basis.

"We begin to cut about May 10 and
finish within three weeks, so that most
of the crop must spend several days in
cold storage, for there is no possibility
of selling so large a quantity so quickly
except in Chicago at Memorial day,"
he said. "Under these conditions the
important quality to be sought above
all others is keeping quality. If a
peony will not keep in storage and

Dolan wagon being used. Charles Erne
had a vision of 600 persons going down
street each with a bunch of free peo-
nies, but the police were so prompt that
only fifteen dozens were lost.

A peony annex in the adjoining va-
cant store in the south end of the Le
Moyne building has been operated for
a week by the E. C. Amling Co., mer-
chandising large quantities of the
Evansville peonies.

After all there were local peonies in
the market for Memorial day, the Ba-
tavia Greenhouse Co., forty miles west
of the city, cutting Old Red as* early as
May 28.

The strike of express drivers has de-
layed the completion of the planting
of roses in the new range of houses of
the A. F. Amling Co., Maywood. The
big houses, with their 250,000 feet of
glass, are not quite finished, but have
been planted as fast as enclosed, plant-
ers and builders working together.
There still are a few thousand rose
plants, part to come from Richmond,
Ind., and part from Lincoln, 111., that
Mr. Amling has hesitated to order
shipped while express service is uncer-
tain.

J. P. Degnan, of Winterson's Seed
Store, indicates a belief that the season
has been so backward during May that
the trade will find soft-wooded bedding
plants selling briskly during nearly all
of June this year.

At 183 North Wabash avenue, in the
same building with Miller & Musser,
H. Bornhoff has leased a room as agent
for the Crowl Fern Co., of New Salem,
Mass.

Alice, a carnation N. J. Wietor has
liked from the time he first saw it, is
steadily advancing in his esteem.

The National Plant & Flower Co., S.

Freund, manager, has completed its two

new houses, making eight in all, and

had them full of stock when the bed-

..ding season began. When the plants

.are turned into cash, the cash is to be

turned into a new boiler capable of

i handling the 23,000 feet of glass.

. The handsome new residence on the

Jackson boulevard frontage back ^f

the greenhouses now is occupied by

Frank Oechslin and wife and a house

warming is in early prospect.

This is the busiest year in the his-
tory of the John C. Moninger Co., ac-
co'-ding to R. E. Kurowski, who says a
night shift for continuous operation of
the factory is under contemplation.

There is a world-wide interest in
Frey's Rainbow freesias, according to
A. Henderson, who says orders for trial
quantities are being received from
widely scattered sources.

Our old business associate, John D.
Thompson, formerly of the Chicago Car-
nation Co., later founder of the Thomp-
son Carnation Co. at Joliet, who now
lives in Chicago, engaged in another
line of activity, had the great misfor-
tune to kill a 9-year-old boy on South
Halsted street May 24, by running over
him with his business auto. The cor-
oner's jury held Mr. Thompson blame-
less.

The business of the George Wittbold
Co., established sixty years ago next
spring, has grown to the point where
eight trunk lines now lead to the tele-
phone switchboard in the Buckingham
place office.

Sure It Is

Of course the PEONY is a good seller now, even though the big Memorial
clamor is over.

Why?

1st. PEONIES give your customer a greater display for the
money he spends than he can get any other way.

2d. PEONIES packed properly ship well and will arrive
at tbeir destination in A-1 shape.

8d. PEONIES will keep their natural freshness and that
sturdy but delicate beauty for a remarkably long time.

If you do want Peonies, it it just as easy to buy

PITTSBURaH.

The Market.

Pittsburgh has had extremely warm
weather and, although peonies missed
the holiday by a day, roses came in
with a rush. A week ago it appeared
as if cut flowers would be scarce for
Memorial day, but such was not the
case. There were so many roses that
the shortage of peonies was not severe-
ly felt. Carnations were fine for this
time of year and commanded good
prices. The demand was for low-priced
flowers, so that Beauties and the better
class of stock suffered at least in price.

Plantsmen are having a busy time of
it and the report is generally that this
has been a banner year for bedding
plants. Porch baskets and hanging bas-
kets are in greater demand than ever
before, and if the call does not diminish
too much after Memorial day it will
be the largest spring business ever done
in this line. The stores made a special
effort with hydrangea, rhododendrons
and other flowering plants for the ceme-
tery trade. There was the usual quan-
tity of wreaths. Memorial day is a
real flower day in Pittsburgh.

Various Notes.

The members of the American Car-
nation Socity and the S. A. F. are re-
ceiving letters regarding contributions
to the Mothers' day fund. This has
stirred up some discussion on the plans
adopted. Many think that a more ap-
propriate method would have been to
organize a club or association to further
the observance of Mothers' day. The
annual membership fee in the end
would amount to more than the con-
tributions received under the present
form of organization. Clarke.

NASHVIUiE, TENN.

The Market.

Commencements are on in earnest
and these, together with the numerous
social affairs, keep the demand for
flowers at a maximum. The weather
is excessively warm, reminding us that
we soon shall have the dull summer
months with us again. Rain would be
welcomed by all, especially those who
are not prepared to irrigate.

Peonies are practically gone, though
there is sufiScient stock in storage to
meet the demand for the next ten days.
Lilies are plentiful, in fact, rather too
plentiful, as they do not all clear.
Eubrums are making their appearance.
Peas are scarce; the outdoor stock is
not well in and it looks as though it
would be short this season, while in-
door stock is about gone. Carnations
are showing the effects of the heat and
will soon be gone. Roses are in good
supply and gladioli have come to the
front.

The main part of the bedding plant
season is over, but the demand con-
tinues fairly good. Nearly everything
cleared and there was not the shortage
w! saw a year ago. There are many
geraniums still unsold, as well as some
good salvias. A year ago one could
hardly find a dozen good salvias in the

season than last. This is a good indi-
cation, sure to lead to the production
of better stock, as the two things react
on each other.

I saw some first-class digitalis last
week. Why do not our florists grow
more of this perennial? It certainly
would prove a good seller as a cut
flower.

Dutch bulbs are ready and it is pos-
sible for Tennessee-grown daffodils to

PHILADELPHIA.

The Market.

Peonies and, next to them, carnations,
were the principal flowers ordered for
Memorial day. Unfortunately, neither
peonies nor carnations were in satis-
factory shape at the time. Local peo-
nies were late, generally speaking, com-
pelling the wholesalers to choose be-
tween declining the orders or filling
them with southern peonies. Some did
the one thing, some the other. The
difficulty about southern peonies is that
they have not the staying power of the
local stock, often causing disappoint-
ment when least expected. There were
a great many southern peonies and a
few local ones. They sold exceptionally
well at prices ranging from $6 to $8
per hundred, and occasionally $10 for
extra fine stock. The out-of-town or-
ders for peonies were heavy. Next to
them came the orders from the ceme-
teries and the suburbs. The stores in
the center of the city bought sparingly.

Encouraged by their success with car-
nations at Easter and at Mothers' day,
the growers attempted to hold their cut
for Memorial day, with disastrous re-
sults. A too large proportion of the
stock was spoiled by the hot wave that
arrived just before the holiday, render-
ing the flowers unfit for use. There
seemed to be a good many white carna-
tions about. This did not suit the de-
mand, which favored colored stock, par-
ticularly well grown blooms of Mrs. C.
W. Ward. Good, fresh carnations
brought $4 and $5, and the finest $6
per hundred. Rosea were helped by the
shortage in the favorites. This was
most apparent in the lower grades of
roses. They advanced in price under
strong demand. The better grades sold
fairly well at last week's prices. Beau-

ties were not in demand. Sweet peas
also were neglected; so, too, were or-
chids. Lily of the valley continues
scarce.

There was an active demand for
mountain laurel, which was handled in
large quantities. Yellow daisies were
in favor.

Larkspur, both the handsome Del-
phinium Belladonna and the pretty, but
more moderate, formosum, were popu-
lar. Gladiolus America was unusually
fine. Quite a lot of irises was marketed.

also some remarkable Ibrig-stemmed
feverfew, apparently greenhouse-grown,
which brought good prices. Greens sold
well.

Taking it all in all, the volume of
business was satisfactory, but the ina-
bility to fill orders for peonies and
carnations in good shape was extremely
trying.

not in the churchyard, nor yet was he
at sea. True — the number seven refers
to the varieties of roses he is growing
in the greenhouses today. To be can-
did, the number bothered me as much
as the story of ' ' the four fellows in our
gang," It runs like this: A little
chap was telling one evening of the
boys in his gang, and when asked to
name them he said, "Bill Jones was
one, the two McGinnises was two, I was
the third and who the dickens was the
fourth?"

In this case, without notes, I am in-
clined to think that Sunburst was one,'
Ophelia was two, Hadley three and the
Killarney sisters, an original sport, the
White, the Brilliant and the Double,
made up the remaining four. Mr. Mor-
tensen has grown the Sharon Hill Dou-
ble Killarney, sent out by Robert Scott
& Son, a year longer than anyone else
in this neighborhood. It has been a
great rose with him, but now, he thinks,
it is losing vitality and he will discard
it. An original or own sport from
White Killarney will be given more
space. It is a soft pink, most pleasing
in color, with all the good qualities of
the family. Hadley, too, will be in-
creased on the strength of its spring
performance. Much is expected of it
now that it is better understood. Mr.
Mortensen's keen perception of the de-
sirable qualities in roses for cutting is
shown in a little experiment he is try-
ing. Possibly I am telling tales out of
school, but he is such a thoroughly good
fellow that I guess he won't mind.
Down in the end of his last big green-
house are a few plants of the hybrid
rose, George Dickson. These plants
bore some superb flowers. They had
been used for crossing with Hadley. He
had seen with quick insight that Had-
ley would some day be considered too
deep a crimson — that the splendid color
of George Dickson combined with the
vigor, size and form of Hadley was
something to strive for in a rose of the
future.

A point of great interest brought out
in Mr. Mortensen's chat about roses is
that he no longer pins his faith on the
grafted rose. While he does not con-
demn grafted roses, he clearly shows
that the pendulum is swinging back
again. Roses on their own roots are

were on the wharves at Botterdam prior
to a certain date. Then this permit
was lost in. Washington, I think, occa-
sioning more wearisome delay, which
required no less than half a dozen spe-
cial trips for Mr. Bayersdorfer to Wash-
ington before the matter could be
straightened out.

At last a new permit has been issued
and honored. This was proved by a
cable from the Holland-America line
at Rotterdam, under date of May 26,
saying that the steamer Ryndam would
sail from that port on the following
day, May 27, with 1,291 cases of goods
for H. Bayersdorfer & Co. This is esti-
mated at about one-third of the total
number of cases covered by the permit.
The remainder are expected to come by
later steamers.

This is the first Memorial day that
Mr. Bayersdorfer has spent at home in
thirty years. He enjoyed the day with
his family at his cottage on the corner
of Vermont and Pacific avenue, Atlan-
tic City, N. J. When asked whether
he would remain at home this season,
Mr. Bayersdorfer smiled and said that
he might have to go to South America
or somewhere else to get what the flo-
rists needed for next season — or he
might not, should that great number
of cases supplemented by his factory
supply all that was needed.

variance in prices. The favorites are
picked as Mrs. Shawyer, Double White
Killarney and Killarney Brilliant, al-

There is little change in the valley
situation and this flower constitutes
practically the only scarcity. The pre-

more plentiful and are obtainable at
about $7.50 per dozen. American
Beauty roses are selling better. Those

these flowers cleaning up well daily. The
prices range from $4 to $6 per hundred.
A nice lot of baby gladioli was offered
during the week and met with quick
sales. Although the quality is excep-
tionally good, it IS getting rather late
in the season for snapdragon. This
flower, in pink, white and yellow, has
maintained great popularity for a con-
siderable length of time, its selling sea-
son this year having been greatly ex-
tended. Iris is pretty well over with.
Gardenias are plentiful and sold well
during the Memorial day period.

Although peonies have been coming
into this market by the thousands, the
demands from the north have been such
as to keep them moving in a satisfac-
tory manner and have resulted in keep-
ing the prices locally to $4 minimum.
Peonies seem to be late in the north
and the calls on "Washington have been
heavy. Added to this extra business,
shipments to southern points filling
commencement and wedding orders have
kept growers and exchangemen moving
to the limit.

Various Notes.

The next regular meeting of the Flo-
rists' Club will be held June 6. The
outing committee will have an Interest-
ing report, as it is understood Chair-
man William H. Ernest will get his fel-
low members together the latter part
of this week. Captain Ernest says the
outing will excel any previous effort
of the club.

The best wishes of the entire trade
for a speedy recovery are extended to
Gottlieb Supper, who is confined to his
home suffering from a serious attack
of erysipelas. Mr. Supper has been in
the employ of George C. Shaffer for
i>early fourteen years and in that time
he has previously lost but one day on
account of illness. Mrs. Supper, who is
also employed by Mr. Shaffer, is attend-
ing her husband.

Fred H. Kramer and Adolph Gude
will be seen in the parade which is to
be held at Sheepshead Bay, N. Y.,
June 3, for the purpose of showing to
American-born Americans what good
Americans the German-Americans are.

ever before and nearly every florist is
far behind in filling orders. It will
require two or three weeks to see day-
light. The demand for geraniums is
exceedingly heavy and, by the looks of
things, everything will be cleaned up
in fine "shape during the next two weeks.
Trade Decoration day was heavy and
stock was quite plentiful, excepting
peonies, which have opened slowly. As
a consequence there will be a heavy
glut of them during the next week or
so. The rainy weather has been a bad
drawback in planting and the ground
has been so wet that it was almost im-
possible to catch up with that branch
of the work.

Various Notes.

The Florists' Social Club held a re-
ception and dance at the Arlington
Country Club May 22. There were
about thirty present and all had a most
enjoyable evening. J. M.

MINNEAPOUSi MINN.

The Market.

Minneapolis is gay with Memorial
decorations. The town homes have their
window boxes planted up and the busi-
ness houses have announced their deco-
rations. One huge furniture store has
300 feet of window boxes, the work be-
ing done by the Minneapolis Floral Co.
The stores all stocked heavily with
peonies, roses, carnations, snapdragons
and sweet peas. Stock is generally
scarce locally, but large shipments are
made from Chicago and Milwaukee.
Every department store and every
Greek store is heavily stocked and they
cut the prices as against the florist
proper, who runs the florists' business
pure and simple.

Lakewood Bars Bedding.

The cemeteries are one mass of bloom.
Nowhere in the states are flowers used
so freely as in the Twin City ceme-
teries. The Lakewood Cemetery Asso-
ciation has passed a new rule and it
goes into force this month. It reads as
follows: "No flower planting is per-
mitted on lots or graves in Lakewood
cemetery. There may be a vase con-
taining plants and vines placed on each
lot, but any further decoration must
consist only of cut flowers placed on
graves." This will be of interest to
the trade from a business point. I un-
derstand that the association by this
rule loses $5,000 worth of business from
its greenhouses. General improvement
is, however, expected in the appear-
ance of the cemetery, which is the main
object. This innovation will be fol-
lowed with interest by many of the
local florists, who cordially agree with
the movement.

Various Notes.

Miss H. B. Whitted is as busy as a
bee. Large funeral orders and recep-
tion decorations have been the feature
of the week.

Max Kaiser had cleaned up th« bulk
of his Memorial day stock at time of
writing. Baby Ramblers made 35 cents
to 50 cents; marguerites, 20 cents; hy-
drangeas, 50 cents to $2 for useful
plants. He has been turning down
orders since May 26, on account of
shortage of stock.

Wessling's Greenhouses have in a
stock of new vases and are catering for
cemetery work.

The Market.

The general verdict is that Memorial
day business once more established a
new record. Weather conditions this
spring have been disappointing to those
who had planned to get large crops of
spiraeas, candytuft, feverfew, stocks and
other flowers used for baskets and bou-
quets, but prices were satisfactory all
around. The weather was comfortable
and florists have good reasons to be
satisfied with this, the greatest cut
flower holiday of the New England
year.

Eoses sold remarkably well. There
was a large crop available. Short and
medium-stemmed stock sold best. These
advanced in price, but on fancier stock
there was little change. Flowers selling
at from $3 to $6 per hundred were in
heavy demand, colored varieties like
Hadley, Richmond, Francis Scott Key
and Hoosier Beauty having first call,
then Ophelia and the colored Killarneys.
Carnations were in fairly good supply
and sold well at $4 to $6 per hundred,
light colors, as usual, making the most
money.

Sweet peas sold all the way from 50
cents to $2 per hundred. Lilies made
$8; callas the same. Double, colored
stock sold finely at $5 to $8 per hun-
dred. Even single stock went well.
Candytuft, feverfew and Gypsophila
elegans made 50 cents per bunch.
Spiraea Japoiiica made from $3 to $5
per hundred. Pink spiraea easily made
$6. Darwin and cottage tulips were in
prime condition and many thousands

A few retailers decline to handle this
class of stock, but there could be no
mistaking the fact that sales were tre-
mendous. It would be simply impossi-
ble to fill the great demand with natural
flowers. There may be something of a
sameness to these magnolia wreaths, but
they stand shipping well, are good keep-
ers and in economical hands are some-
times used for several Memorial daj'
decorations.

Various Notes.

William H. Elliott had a heavy cut
of Ophelia, Miller, Hadley, Sunburst
and Killarney Brilliant roses for Me-
morial day. For asparagus he had an
almost insatiable call.

J. W. Simpson, of Woburn, had 600
bunches of feverfew May 27, which
cleared quickly. He would have had
many more if Old Sol's rays had been
in evidence a day or two more. He
also had a fine cut of yellow mar-
guerites.

James Wheeler, of Natick, who now
can be fairly known as the New Eng-
land marguerite king, had 27,000 yel-
lows May 27, and 30,000 May 29. He
also had a grand crop of carnations.
Mr. Wheeler's marguerites now are as
well known in New York as in Boston.

The Houghton-Kravatz Co., which re-
cently opened a store at Melrose, is well
satisfied with business and states that
more money is being made there than
in Boston.

The Boston Cut Flower Co. largely
advertised Memorial day wreaths and

disposed of a great number. This con-
cern reports trade as well ahead of that
of 1915.

J. Streiferd & Son, of Braintree, had
a fine cut of annual larkspurs May 27.
Their Killarney, White Killarney and
Eichmond roses were in good crop.

Some of the finest double crimson
stocks noted were those from J. A.
Nelson, of Framingham. These readily
realized $8 per hundred. Mr. Nelson's
carnations were in great crop for the
holiday.

Darwin tulips appeared in unusual
numbers this year. Those from John J.
Fee, with stems twenty-eight to thirty-
six inches long, were easily the best on
the market. Mr. Fee cuts his stems
just above the bulbs and does not at-
tempt to carry them over. He had 1,000
pots of lilies, carrying four to seven
flowers each, which were just right.

The heaviest shipper of double fever-
few locally was A. S. Parker, of Stone-
ham, our well known aster specialist.
Feverfew never sold more quickly in
Boston than this year.

At Carbone's Memorial day business
cuts no special figure. This is a strict-
ly high-class store and no artificial
wreaths are handled. General business
is splendid, orders for seaside resorts
now coming in heavily.

R. E. Lassman, our octogenarian, had
a magnificent lot of outdoor valley.
This was vastly superior to any forced
valley I have seen the last season in
Boston, the spikes carrying thirteen to
sixteen flowers each.

William Sim, of Cliftondale, is con-

stantly springing some surpris^. This
year he put 25,000 Darwin tulips on the
market May 27 and 29, in all the best
colors. He also had an immense pick of
sweet peas and pansies.

The W, W. Edgar Co. had a splendid
lot of Tulip Gesneriana major, the finest
colored variety we have for Memorial
day. Their hydrangeas are later than
usual, but customers are buying them
before heads even show color. The bed-
ding plant trade is active.

The Welch Bros. Co. did the greatest
Memorial day business in its history.
Practically everything sold, orders pour-
ing in from all parts of New England.

W. E. Nicholson, of Framingham, had
a greater variety of high-grade cut
flowers for Memorial day than any oth-
er grower. It included yellow marguer-
ites in quantity, feverfew, stocks, can-
dytuft, Gypsophila elegans, snapdrag-
ons and a large cut of carnations.

John W. Foote, of Eeading, hit it
right with a big crop of stocks and
candytuft.

Malcolm Orr, of Saugus, formerly one
of our noted growers of sweet peas and
violets, has rented his establishment and
assumed charge of a private estate at
Cambridge, N. Y. Mr. Orr's health had
become impaired by constant working
under glass and the doctors decreed an
outdoor life to be necessary.

The annual lilac display at the
Arnold Arboretum this year was at its
best Memorial day, when many thou-
sands enjoj'ed it. Darwin and cottage
tulips were in prime condition at that
date. Outdoor valley was good. Some
German iris was in flower, but few
deutzias were available this year. Not
for twenty-five years have I seen vege-
tation more backward than this year;
on the other hand, it has never been
more luxuriant.

Penn, as usual, did a large Memorial
day business. Their heavily advertised
wreaths went to all parts of New Eng-
land, and basket? and bouquets of nat-
ural flowers sold heavily. One of the
floats in tl^e great preparedness parade
May 27, which symbolized the chil-
dren of Massachusetts, was a Penn
creation.

Robert Montgomery had his roses in
fine crop for Memorial day, Ophelia,
Hadley, Russell, Sunburst and the vari-
ous Killarneys all cleaning up quickly.

H. R. Comley, on Park street, is one
of the few local retailers featuring
window boxes. Too bad that more do
not take up this end, with its wonder-

Out-of-town orders for delivery in New York

ful possibilities of development. Mr.
Comley did not display any of the arti-
ficial wreaths; neither did Galvin's at
their Park street and Back Bay stores.

One of the busiest Boston retailers
was Harry Quint. His advertisements
were bold and catchy and he had a
great call for wreaths from all New
England points. His garden scene out-
side the Boylston street store always
attracts notice.

May 27 Boston had its largest pa-
rade, when 100,000 men and women
showed that Boston stands for ade-
quate preparedness. The closing of
the business center of the city for some
hours near Memorial day was not rel-
ished by the busy florists.

Wax Bros, featured both natural and
artificial fiowers, but did the heaviest
business in the former. They devoted
a window to each. They say they had
the best Memorial day business on
record. W. N. C.

The Market.

I am putting it mildly when I say
that the market last week was crowded
with stock of all kinds in season. Clean-
ups could hardly be counted upon, ex-
cepting where extremely low prices
were quoted. The retailers, too, say
that trade was slow, and owing to the
extremely hot weather window displays
had to be discontinued. A revival, of
course, is looked for this week, when
Memorial day should bring quite a de-
mand.

There was a big glut of peonies;
they seemed to come in from every-
where and caused the wholesalers much

inconvenience. Large consignments of
roses and carnations also taxed the
capacity of the display counters. Cape
jasmines arrived in heavy supply, with
no great demand for them. Valley is
in good demand and will be the greater
part of this month. There were heavy
shipments of sweet peas, but the major-
ity of these were not of first-class
quality. There has been a slackening
in the supply of lilies. Spanish irises
and gladioli are expected in quantity
soon. Prices will, no doubt, advance a
little on all stock this week, but if the
big shipments continue the advance will
not be much.

Various Notes.

The west-end florists say that up to
June 15 they expect a big demand for
wedding and school commencement
decorations. After this date the sum-
mer dullness starts, as society folks are
off for their summer vacations then.

Professor H. C. Irish, who has charge
of the public school gardens, has had a
great time instructing the children in
gardening. For the last month the
pupils have been out planting all va-
cant lots near the school buildings.

C. C. Sanders, head of the Sanders
Nursery Co., of Clayton, Mo., says the
company will start to build a house
3.5x150 feet next month, to be devoted
to carnations. Foley material will be
used.

George Waldbart is cutting a large
and fine crop of peonies, Shasta daisies,
yellow lilies and coreopsis from his
large farm at Clayton. He visits his
farm daily.

Tom Carr believes in preparedness.
The quantity of plants he had for' Me-
morial day business at his Union Mar-
ket stand was remarkable, but Tom sold
all.

The Ladies' Home Circle will hold its
.Tune meeting at the home of Mrs.
Henry G. Berning, 4211 Westminster
place, June 14. All members are ex-
pected to attend.

The trustees are preparing a suitable
program for the occasion. Automobiles
will be waiting at all the wholesale
houses to convey members to Kirkwood.

Spanish irises of various colors are
now the leading cut flowers of the
Shackelford Nursery Co. The fine qual-
ity of this stock pleases the west-end
florists, who handle the greater part of
the cut.

Frank Fillmore, Sr., celebrated his
thirty-sixth wedding anniversary May
26 with a dinner at his home. This is
one of the days when he proclaims he
still is a young man.

Emil Schray, of Wm. Schray & Sons,
is glad the big rush for plants is about
over. There still is plenty of business
in this line.

Grimm & Gorly, the Mullanphy Flo-
rists and the Riessen Floral Co. had
pretty window displays for Memorial
day. They report that advance orders
for this day were heavy.

Werner Bros., rose growers of Clay-
ton, Mo., say they had a heavy crop
of Richmonds, Killarneys and White
Killarneys for Memorial day. Their
rose and carnation crops were of ex-
cellent quality all season.

Charles Steidle, who is building a
range of rose houses at Olivette, says
he has all work well under way and
will begin stocking the houses some-
time in June.

A correction should be made in the
date of the monthly meeting of the St.
Louis County Growers' Association.
The date mentioned in last week's Re-
view should have read June 7, instead
of June 1.

two big cemeteries in north St. Louis.

C. E. De Wever, of Olivette, is con-
signing a fine and large cut of peonies
to the W. C. Smith Wholesale Floral
Co. A large cut of gladioli will come
soon from this place.

The long dry and hot spell had a bad
effect on the new bedding stock in all
parts of the city, but relief came May
27, in a good soaking rain that did a
world of good. J. J. B.

KANSAS CITY.

The Market.

The condition of the market is good,
there being plenty of pot plants and cut
stock to fill the demand. Funeral work
is up to the standard. Peonies now are
overflowing the market; they have
never before been so abundant and
every plant is loaded with blooms, not
one going blind. This condition is ex-
pected to last for several weeks. Car-
nations are plentiful now, but it is ex-
pected there will be a shortage before
the week ends. Roses are in good sup-
ply. Sweet peas are about off the mar-
ket; there will be no more greenhouse-
grown stock this season, as the weather
has become too warm. Outdoor Span-
ish iris is expected to bloom in a few
days. Gladioli were not so plentiful
last week. Snapdragons are coming in
heavily and are of good quality for
this time of the year.

cut about 25,000 pansies for the Me-
morial day trade. He reports that he

dahlias.

The W. L. Rock Flower Co. has an
extra heavy crop of roses, carnations
and snapdragons, and the largest crop of
peonies they ever had. They will have
a large quantity of potted hydrangeas
and other pot plants for the trade. This
company has all its chrysanthemums
planted in the benches.

T. J'. Noll reported that orders for

his first hydrangeas and now has a big
batch coming in.

The Geo. M. Kellogg Flower & Plant
Co. has sold 49,000 peonies, by actual
count. They were especially busy with
funeral work during the week.

The Mount St. Mary's Greenhouses

gonias to meet the demand from the
cemetery.

mencement exercises across the state

Seabrlght, Oal. — Bulb growing is be-
coming one of ^e important indus-
tries of this vicnnty. There now are
a considerable number engaged in the
business, several of thenf on a scale
large enough so that they are seeking
a trade outlet for their crops instead
of selling to larger growers. M. C.
Main has about two acres of freesias,
gladioli and callas this year, estimat-
ing his crop at about 300,000 bulbs.

LOS ANaEIJiS.

The Market.

The shortage continues in the best
grades of stock fit for long-distance
shipping, though there is still plenty
of second-grade material. Funeral
work again has been the mainstay of
trade this week, though the inquiries
and advance orders for wedding deco-
rations are distinctly encouraging. Eoses
are not by any mai^s ^rst-class, either
from outdoors or under glass. Carna-
tions are poor, with the exception of a
few new-crop flowers, just coming in.
The field-grown ones are poor in the
extreme. Gladioli were never better;
America and Mrs. Francis King still
hold their own as the best pink and
red, respectively. SM|eet peas are just
about as nearly perfect as they could
be, as the cool weather suits them ex-
actly. Cecile Brunner roses are a little
off crop. Valley is scarce. Orchids are
plentiful.

Various Notes.

The L. A. Floral Co. is again among
the first to take advantage of the latest
and best way of doing things. The firm 's
large shipments, containing often a
whole truckload of boxes, are going out
to many long-distance points in the ex-
press refrigerator fruit cars, of which
a great many leave the city daily.
Thus their customers are getting the
advantage of quick delivery, with the
stock in perfect condition.

The nursery department of the Ger-
main Seed & Plant Co. has just been
awarded another important landscape
contract, for the grounds of the new
Eedondo high school. This is one of
the largest and finest of the many^big
schools built in southern California,
and the contract will call for large
quantities of stock. ' The new nurseries
on the Whittier road will be well able
to take care of this work.

Oscar Johanssen, of the Johanssen
Seed Co., took a drive from Los Angeles
to San Luis Obispo last week. The
firm has about 250 acres in flower seeds
in that section and Mr. Johanssen was
up to look over the situation. He says
that while the stand is about perfect,
the lack of rain may prevent a full
crop of many varieties.

H. Eeeve Darling reports his May
sales as away above the average in the
new store in the Hayward hotel build-
ing. He has not been long enough in
■ihe other new store to be able to say
how things will go.

George Eischen reports business fine
at Ocean Park.

Good business is the report from
J. W. Wolters.

W« arc much pleased with the
results of our plant advertisements
in The Review ; orders have come
in freely and from a wide range of
territory.

Germain Seed & Plant Co.

By M. L. Germain, Pres.

Los Angeles,
Feb. 25. 1916.

Several good decorations at the out-
lying country clubs have helped the
business at Frank Lichtenberg 's.

Montebello, the home of the fiower
and nursery business in this section,
will hereafter be known officially as
Montei^ey Park. The reason is an in-
corporation of this place and i Eamona
Acres in order to head off a proposition
of Pasadena and other towns to start
a sewer farm ymt north of the town.
Probably the old name will still stick
for all practical purposes.

H. E. Eichards.

PORTIAND, ORE.

The ISIarket.

Last week the weather was cool, with
frequent showers and little sunshine.
Indoor and outdoor plants were held
back, so that the supply of blooms for
use Memorial day was short., Growers
who had timed their stock, depending
on some normal May warmth and sun-

shine, found their benches coming in
too late. But few varieties of outdoor
blooms were available. Hardly any
home-grown roses were ready on the

Earkings and lawns and the beds of
ardy perennials were nearly bare of
flowers.

Large quantities of cut stock were
shipped to interior points for use at
graduating exercises of high schools
and colleges. The local demand for
funerals and social affairs was good.
In fact, the supply was hardly sufficient
to meet all demands and some of the
largest stores had to use odds and ends
for their evening window displays.

Various Notes.

Frank W. Power, formerly associated
with the Orenco Nursery Co., died of
blood poisoning last week, at Salem,
Ore.

Max Smith has a Dodge and a Cadil-
lac motor ear. "With the twq^ in use he
says he can get through his deliveries
and now and then take a joy ride.

Clarke Bros, have been showing some
fine gloxinias and blooms of pyrethrum
hybrids.

Late frosts nipped some of the stock
plants set out too early by the growers.

Martin & Forbes Co. has a bench of
fine snaps about ready to cut.

Several large orders for outdoor flow-
ers were alliiyed in from California for
Memorial day.

Mts. Bahn has been seriously ill, re-

SAN FBANCISCO.

Tbe Market.

Shipping business for Memorial day
was particularly heavy this year. Quan-
tities of outdoor stock were sent to in-
terior points at a considerable distance,
thereby making it an easy thing to
clean up the surplus here. In addition,
the cool weather had a tendency to hold
back the stock. The north wind hurt
the sweet peas to a certain extent,
causing the edges to turn, but there is
quite a bit of first-class stock coming
in, including long-stemmed Spencers.
There is a good supply of fineS^ white
stocks, statice, coreopsis, marigolds and
gypsophilas. There are many corn-
flowers and a limited cut of good snap-
dragons. Spanish iris is on the wane.
America gladioli are coming in freely
and are much sought after. Francis
King makes a splendid showing and a
large batch of baby gladioli finds a
ready market.

Carnations are only in moderate 'sup-
ply, everything cleaning up without dif-
ficulty. Lilies are more than plentiful,
but the large percentage of trashy stock
hurts the demand materially. Some
fine Burgle dahlias are arriving, their
appearance being unusually early. Some
of the stems are two and one-half feet

hardly so abundant as they were a few
weeks ago. American Beauties show
good quality and have a good demand.
Ulrich Brunner is popular. The market
is well supplied with gardenias and the
demand leaves no ground for complaint.
The same may be said of orchids. There
is an excellent demand for potted stock,
but the supply is limited. Good French
hydrangeas are bought on sight and
rambler roses move freely. Primulas
are popular, as usual, and some pelargo-

Drake on the shores of California. It
had been well advertised and was well
attended, the flower 6how being one

Seed Trade News

AKEKICAN SEED XKADE ASSOCIATION.

President, John M. Lupton, Mattltuck, L. I.;
Secretary-Treasurer, 0. B. Kendel, Cleyelaud; -O.

Thirty-fourth annual convention, Chicago, June
20 to 22, 1916.

Peter Hollenbach, Chicago, cele-
brated his sixty-sixth birthday anniver-
sary May 26.

L. L. May, of St. Paul, who is in
Mount Sinai hospital, Milwaukee, is re-
ported as manifesting much cheerfulness.
He has many visitors and his room always
has flowers.

Why has it been that most seed houses
that cater to the local retail trade have
had a banner season while the mail order
season was not up to last year in most
of the houses ? ■ Of course it is to be taken
into consideration that a steadily larger
part of the counter sales are plants, not
seeds.

II* r'

In the Chicago district, where the

greater part of America's onion sets now
are grown, the acreage has not been re-
duced as a result of last year's bad sea-
son, but there is an unusual difference
in the present condition of the crop, due
to some pieces having been planted weeks
earlier than others.

May has in a measure made up for the
decrease in sales shown by the earlier
months of the year in the records of most
of the mail-order seed houses. One never
looks for much in the way of mail orders
after April,, but this year the first half
of May brought quite a little business,
due to the season being two to three weeks
late in many places.

M. AND W. H. LuGBX, farmers living
near Osseo, Minn., a suburb of Minne-
apolis, who, two years ago, achieved wide
fame through their ability to raise on
twenty acres an onion crop that sold for
$9,000, report that their efforts in 1915
duplicated the former feat. The last of
the crop was sold recently at slightly
above $9,000. The net profit is esti-
mated at about $7,000.

WHAT OF THE BULB MARKET?

As predicted in The Eeview some
weeks ago, the British government has
at length taken definite action to re-
strict the importation of bulbs into the
United Kingdom. The Order in Council
signed by the king May 10 also prohib-
its the importation of flower roots,
plants, trees and shrubs, except under
license from the Board of Trade.

The question at once arises as to the
effect on the bulb market in the United
States. Will the growers seek to un-
load their surplus on ust Especially in
the matter of Holland bulbs, the United
Kingdom normally has used more than
twice as many as the United States.
No figures are available showing the
bulb exports of last year; the latest
statistics are those of ante-bellum times
and show the following as Holland's
bulb exports for a normal season, in
kilos, a kilo being approximately two
and one-half pounds:

TRUTH

There are more things told than
are true, and there are more
things true than are told. There
are some things told that are un-
true and misleading, and there
are some things told that are
true but misunderstood. The
truth about Ward's lily bulbs is
manifest to those who under-
stand. When you bear in mind
the AVERAGE (and it is the
average in business that counts)
you will easily recognize that
Ward's hly bulbs are superior to
most other brands. We do not
say that every bulb is better
than every bulb of another brand
—but we do say that out of a
thousand bulbs you will average
better results under like condi-
tions, than from most other
brands. This is because the
Horseshoe Brand fields in Japan,
from which Ward's bulbs come,
are positively the best there are
anywhere in the World. The
prices of these bulbs are moderate
because of the volume of business
done, and it will pay you to buy
them. Your order, large or
small, will be appreciated. Send
for the prices.

The Florists' Review

JUKB 1, 1916.

Beason there was a large surplus of
bulbs in Holland, but they were not
dumped on the American markets. The
Hollanders seemed to have learned their
lesson. This year, because of the good
clean-up last season and the generally
prosperous conditions in this country,
the advance orders for Holland bulbs
are rather heavier than usual; the coun-
try has been covered by the Dutch
order-takers as a gardener uses a fine-
toothed rake. The prices at which these
orders have been taken, while they vary
considerably, are not low. To dump
the Britons' bulbs here in the autumn
and break the market will result in
buyers demanding the prices of delivery
date on all advance orders; indeed, in
many cases this already is agreed to.

In discussing this and other phases
of the situation now presented, Kalph
M. Ward & Co., New York, said
May 29:

"We should think that the principal
effect of the embargo on bulbs to Eng-
land will be in Holland bulbs. It must
be remembered, however, that there
was war last year and that the English
purchaBes at that time were much cur-
tailed. The growers of all bulbs have
shortened upr tljseif criups accordingly.

"The effect on the French market
will be to reduce the price of Eomans,
no doubt, but we do not think it will
affect Paper Whites, because England
in normal times does not take any large
quantity of this bulb, as the cut flowers
are sent there direct from France.

"Relative to Japanese bulbs, we
might say that the Japanese expected
this embargo in England, and we were
advised of the matter about four
months ago from there. The freight
rates between Japan and other countries
have increased so considerably that at
the present time the duty and freight
are a large part of the cost of their
product. Therefore, we do not think
the growers could be induced to ad-
vance money sufficient to send their sur-
pluses into this market at such a time."

lOWANS TO MEET.

The Iowa Seed Dealers' Association
will hold its annual convention at Des
Moines, June 7 and 8. June 7 will be
the business day and the meeting prom-
ises to be more largely attended than
any previous one. A splendid program is
being arranged and the association is
sending invitations to all Iowa seed
dealers and shippers to come in and get
acquainted and become members if they
desire. The meetings will be held at
the Savery hotel.

A. W. Eldridge, Sec'y.

MOTT-LY aiiEANINOS.

C. E. Kendel, speaking as secretary
of the American Seed Trade Associa-
tion, says he believes he is voicing the
general sentiment of the members that
no entertainment by the Chicago con-
freres is expected at the annual con-
vention. Mr. Kendel is of the opinion
that it will be decided to confine the
place of the annual meetings to the
north-central cities, taking in, by way of
diversion, such resorts as Atlantic City
and Niagara Falls. It is reasoned that
a member located in a small town
would be more readily attracted to the
gathering when held in a large city.
Indications are that the coming con-
vention will be one of the most in-
teresting ever held.

the optimistic manager. George F.

dorsed this prediction. W. M.

ANOTHER POT OF OOIiD?

For years Henry Field, of Shenan-
doah, la., has had a page in his cata-
logue headed "For the Kainbow
Chaser," devoted to the things Mr.
Field doesn't believe in, but can supply
if you want them. For the benefit of
"rainbow chasers" the U. S. Depart-
ment of Agriculture states that it
recently has been advised that a variety
of wheat is being advertised under the
name "Titanic." The assertion is
made that it is a new variety of wheat
discovered in England about four years
ago and that a small quantity of seed
was brought to the United States by
one of' the survivors of the ill-fated
Titanic. The wheat is represented as
having extremely high yielding power,
the returns reaching as high as 7,000-
fold. A photograph sent by a corre-
spondent, says the department, shows
a head identical in appearance with
the widely exploited "AJaska'^ wheat.
Five acres pf the wheat are said to be
growing in the state of Washington,
and the seed, it is believed, will be
offered at high prices after harvest.
The department has no further or more
definite information concerning this
variety, but farmers and dealers are
cautioned to be on their guard con-
cerning this new exploitation.

CANNEBS NEED MANY SEEDS.

The importance of the canners' trade
with those, seedsmen catering to this
special demand is shown by the state-
ment, issued last week, of the general
results of the 1914 census of manu-
factures for the canning and drying
of fruits and vegetables by the Bureau
of the Census, Department of Commerce.

Returns were received from 3,199
establishments engaged in the industry
in 1914, the products of which for that
year were valued at $158,015,893. The
products reported for 1909 were valued
at $96,943,273. The number of es-
tablishments in 1914 exceeded the
number reported for 1909 by 337, or
11.8 per cent; while the value increased
by $61,072,620, or 63 per cent.

The value of canned vegetables in-
creased from $53,307,791 in 1909 to
$84,413,667 in 1914, or 58.3 per cent.

AMEKICAK ASSOCIATION OF NX7BSESTKEM.

President, E. S. Welch, Shenandoah, la.; Vice-
president, John Watson, Newark, N. J.; Secre-
tary, John Hall, Kochester, N. Y.; Treasurer,
Peter Youngers, Genera, Neb.

Forty-first annual meeting, Milwaukee, Wis.,
June 28 to 30, 1816.

It has turned out an excellent season
for the nursery trade. There have been
many difficulties, incident to labor short-
age, freight embargoes, etc., but these
have been counterbalanced by the long
season, affording an opportunity to con-
tinue operations later than usual.

The public's knowledge of trees and
shrubs will be greatly increased by the
action of the management of Jackson
park, Chicago, where all the plants are
being labeled. A large number of ever-
greens recently have been planted on the
wooded island, in addition to the collec-
tion of perennials, roses and native trees
and shrubs for which the island long has
been famous.

THE IMPORT SITUATION.

The war in Europe, says McHutchi-
8on & Co., prevents Holland firms ship-
ping to Belgium or Great Britain and
reduces exports to most of the other
countries. This gives a fine opportu-
nity to stock up, as the ocean freight
rates from Holland remain quite rea-
sonable. Prices recently quoted are the
lowest import prices we ever quoted.
There is practically no doubt that fall
and spring shipments from Holland will
be made, and with the same dispatch as
last season, but all orders will be booked
subject to arrival while the war lasts,
as no one can say what is ahead of us.
As there is little doubt that prices will
be advanced sharply when peace is de-
clared, we advise our customers to order
at once on the present low quotations,
saying whether they wish fall or spring
shipment.

IllINNESOTA LAW ELUCIDATED.

An erroneous idea exists among some
Minnesota nurserymen and florists that
they are required by the Minnesota law
to purchase their stock from Minnesota
nurseries and not from nurseries or
dealers in other states. This impres-
sion is epitomized by the prominently
displayed paragraph on the letterhead
of a Minnesota nurseryman, reading:

"Nurserymen have to furnish their
customers with nursery stock from a
bona fide inspected Minnesota nursery,
jaccording to a law passed by the state
legislature at the 1913 session."

If this were true, the provision

would clearly be unconstitutional, as a
discrimination against stock grown in
other states. The Minnesota legisla-
ture in 1915 amended the law of 1913,
so that the Minnesota florist may sell
his stock freely, by filing an affidavit
that he will buy and sell only stock
duly inspected by an official state in-
spector— not necessarily a Minnesota
inspector — and filing with the state en-
tomologist a list of all sources of stock..

IMPOBTS VIA ROTTERDAM.

More than 2,000 cases of horticultural
supplies arrived last week at New York
on the Rotterdam steamers Nieuw Am-

sterdam and Beukelsdyk. The sailings
from Rotterdam this spring have been
few and far between, so that the trade
has an unusually large quantity of stock
on each boat that clears. The record
of last week's boats was as follows, ac-
cording to manifests at the New York
customhouse:

American Express Co., 1,146 bags seed.

American Shipping Co., C cases plants.

Inspection before reshipment is ex-
tremely difficult and the condition of
the stock will not be accurately known
until it reaches its destination, but it is
feared much of the Belgian stock and
some of the Holland goods will not be
any more satisfactory than in the case
of other late shipments this season.

THE LEAF BLISTER MITE.

Red or green blister-like spots ap-
pearing in the early spring on the
foliage of the apple and pear are
usually due to the leaf blister mite.
This is not an insect, but a small ani-
mal invisible to the unaided eye, which
attacks standard varieties of pear and
apple trees and often inflicts serious
damage. Where trees are seriously in-
fested, the premature fall of both fruit
and leaves may result. In such cases
a special application of lime-sulphur
wash or other spray may be necessary.
Ordinarily, however, the regular orchard
spraying is sufficient to control the mite.
Badly infested branches of the pear
trees may be cut off and burned. Care
should be taken not to confuse the work
of the mite with the leaf-spot disease
or the results of heavy spraying.

The leaf blister mite passes the win-
ter beneath the bud scales. There it
waits for the opening of the buds and
attacks the young leave? Vk9 sopn as

they push out in the spring. The tiny
animals bore small holes from the un-
der side of the leaves into the interior,
where they lay their eggs. This causes
the small, pimple-like gall on the upper
surface of the leaves. The spots later
increase in size, sometimes to one-
eighth of an inch, and on the pear tree
are red and often brilliantly colored as
they grow. In the case of the apple,
the eruptions lack the more brilliant
coloring and are found more along the
margin of the leaf. In both cases the
spots finally turn brown or black, and
if the pest is abundant the leaves be-
come ruptured and wrinkled.

More than 250 varieties of apples are
attacked by the mite, injury being es-
pecially eevere on some well known
commercial sorts, such as the Ben
Davis, the King, Baldwin, Ehode Island
Greening and the Williams Favorite.

Where orchards are seriously in-
fested, as has been noted in New York,
lime-sulphur washes give excellent re-
sults. They avoid the injurious effects
upon fruit buds which sometimes result
,from the use of oil sprays. The wash
should be applied thoroughly, coating
the twigs and branches.

A standard solution of kerosene emul-
sion also may be used. The stock solu-
tion should be diluted with five parts
of water for spraying purposes. One
application should be given in the late
fall, as soon as most of the leaves have
fallen, and another in the following
spring, before the trees put out foliage.
If it is possible to give only one treat-
ment, the sprays should be used in the
fall. At this time many of the mites
have not yet gone to the bud scales,
but occur in the down covering the

ioung wood, and hence are more easily
illed.

Describing the leaf blister mite,
showing how it may be recognized and
giving methods for its control, the U. S.
Departm^ent pf Agriculture has issued
a new farmers' bulletin, No. 722, en-
titled "The Leaf Blister Mite of Pear
and Apple. ' ' This may be had upon re-
quest.

OYSTER BAY, N. Y.

The monthly meeting of the Oyster
Bay Horticultural Society was held in
the Firemen's hall, May 24. President
Walker occupied the chair. The ex-
hibits for the evening were numerous
and the hall had the appearance of a
spring flower garden. James Duthie
had a table of tulips that made the
members sit up and take notice. J.
Robinson showed a vase of well grown
roses, of which he spoke later. The
society's prizes were well competed for,
J. Robinson winning with a vase of
flowering shrubs and James Duckham
with twelve Darwin tulips. The special
prize of $5 for carnations was won by
Thomas Moore. Many special and hon-
orable mentions were given those who
entered high-grade stock.

The secretary read several letters of-
fering prizes to exhibitors at the month-
ly meetings. The Alphano Humus Co.
posted a silver cup valued at $100 for
a collection of twenty-four vegetables,
to be won twice in succession or three
times before becoming the property of

gave an interesting talk on how he
grew tulips and read an essay furnished
the society by the National Association
of Gardeners. On account of the back-
ward season, it was voted to postpone
the show to June 22, instead of June 13,
as formerly announced. It was moved
and seconded that the society affiliate

was followed by a lengthy discussion on

The Market.

The wholesale market was well
stocked with all kinds of flowers last
week and a favorable amount of busi-
ness was done. The weather was un-
settled, but held quite warm. A great
deal of work in filling porch boxes and
baskets was called for in preparing for
Decoration day. Large quantities of
bedding stock have been disposed of.
The usual call for magnolia leaf
wreaths, with artificial decorations, was
there and it was somewhat larger than
usual. Several good-sized decorations
have called for much stock.

Outdoor-grown valley is arriving in
large quantities and moves freely. Good
outdoor irises arrive daily and sell well.
Callas and Easter lilies move nicely.
Boses are plentiful, Ward, Sunburst,
Russell, Taft and Milady being the best
sellers. Sweet peas move easily, but
their stems are shortening. Lilacs are
overplentiful. Pink and yellow snap-
dragons are in fine shape and sell finely.
A large quantity of yellow and white
daisies arrives daily and moves freely.
Orchids and gardenias do not move so
freely as they should. The local peony
crop is backward and only a few are
available. Tulips and narcissi are"r^-
idly coming to an end. Carnations hav^
had a splendid season and they continue
to hold up well. Greens are more than
plentiful.

Various Notes.

The Rochester Floral Co. had a dainty
window display for the week end. It
was composed of vases and bowls filled
with outdoor valley and cornflowers.

Lilac day was observed at Highland
park May 28. The weather was not at its
best, but thousands visited the display,
which consisted of more than 400 varie-
ties.

Fred Schlegel's Sons report business
as being good. They are doing a big
business in bedding stock. H. J. H.

BALTIMORE.

The Market.

The remarkably cool weather has
continued and business in general is
up to the average. This city is situ-
ated too far south for the inhabitants
to observe Memorial day as generally
as is done in the north, but neverthe-
less the stock of cut flowers cleaned up
fairly well. Prices were nothing un-
usual. Peonies formed the bulk of cut
flowers during the latter half of last
week and there were enough for all de-
mands. Carnations have been fairly
plentiful and the demand rather light,
even at low prices. Boses have de-
creased in supply and the demand has
gone down. In the street market, out-
door roses, peonies, daisies and other
outdoor flowers are being sold, and no
doubt cut in on the sales of indoor
stock to a certain extent.

Blooming plants continue in good
demand, with geraniums forming the
bulk of the supply.

Various Notes.

Stevenson Bros, have installed a new
delivery truck for service between this
city and their Towson greenhouses.

Lohr & Pritze have been cutting a
fine crop of Double White Killarney
roses.

Charles Siegwart has been marketing
an excellent crop of carnations. He
has a fine lot of cattleyas coming on
for next season and recently received
several cases of new plants, which ar-
rived in good condition.

The Broadway Florists recently in-
stalled a new light truck for delivery
purposes.

Henry Lehr, who has been ill since
early winter, has left the hospital and
is for the present living with his sister
at 19 East Twenty-first street. He still
is confined to his bed and his friends'
visits are greatly appreciated, as he
was an active man until the present
illness befell him and his confinement
is irksome.

George Morrison, who was appointed
chairman of the committee in charge
of the Maryland Week show, announces
the following as members of the com-
mittee: George Black, F. C. Bauer,
James Boone, William F. Ekas, William
J. Johnston and R. A. Vincent. The
preliminary schedule has been issued,
but many valuable premiums will be
added to those already offered.

The first amateur rose show will be
held in the Florists' Exchange hall
June 5, under the auspices of the
Woman's Civic League and the local
Florists' Club. It is the duty of every-
one in the trade to boost this affair
and to help make it the success it
should be. W. F. E.

Lansing, MIcIl — G. B. Smith and A.
Priggooris, joint owners of the Alpha
Floral Co., have acquired the old New-
ton property on Michigan and Grand
avenues. A 6-8tory oftice and store
building will be erected on the site.

WILMETTE, ILL.

FORT WAYNE, IND.

The Market.

The extremely hot weather last week
was hard on the greenhouse stock, but
brought out the outdoor flowers in fine
shape for Memorial day. There are
plenty of local peonies now on the mar-
ket, besides a great variety of other
outdoor flowers.

Business last week was good and con-
sisted mostly of sales of plants and
wreaths for Memorial day, while numer-
ous cut flower orders were taken for
delivery on Monday. Blooming plants
have sold exceptionally well in the
flower stores. The greenhouse men have
been rushed with orders for window
boxes, hanging baskets and bedding
plants for home grounds and for ceme-
tery planting.

Various Notes.

The Doswell Floral Co. made a hand-
some casket cover of roses last week
for the funeral of a prominent society
woman. It has also been busy with
decorations and had an attractive win-
dow decoration for Memorial day.

Many of the downtown flower stores
have special Memorial day windows,
which attracted the passer-by and lured
him inside. Ed. Hauswirth had a large
American flag made of red, white and
blue immortelles as a central figure in
his window, around which were bloom-
ing plants in variety.

A. J. Lanternier has been showing
some fine begonias and handsome vases
of Shawyer roses from the Walton ave-
nue greenhouses.

The Flick Floral Co. featured magno-
lia wreaths for Memorial day and sold
a large number.

The S. H. Knox 5 and 10-cent store
held a sale on small palms in 3-inch and
4-inch pots for 10 cents each May 27.

The Fort Wayne Flower Shop held a
special sale of roses May 28 for 35
cents per dozen and sold a large quan-
tity. E. F.

Carthage, Mo.— Stephen Hyde has be
gun the erection of a house 84x500 feet,
which amounts to almost a whole acre.
The house will be devoted to lettuce,
tomatoes and cucumbers. The building
will cost abojjj; $12,000.

SNAPDRAGON POINTERS

To be most successful it is better to be governed by tested rules.
We give a few pointers regarding Snapdragon, taken from our ex-
perimental records:

Sow seed of our genuine Silver Pink Snapdragon before June 15;
follow directions on topping and benching, setting the plants 12x15.
The first crop of blooms will come in December, which should be
cut, leaving all other growth. The myriads of shoots left should
begin flowering in February and continue to flower until June.
There should be from 30 to 50 shoots on each plant. If your trade
calls for heavy spikes, thin them out. If for medium spikes, let all
remain.

So much for the greatest and most productive Snapdragon in
existence. Treatment for other varieties will be about the same,
except they can be planted closer.

Snapdrags^is our one business. No better seeds can be produced.
Each variflv grown for seed is kept under glass in separate houses.
Ws offer pure seed as follows: Our original Silver Pink, tl.OO per
pkt.; 3 for $2.50; 7 for $5.00. Seed of Nelrose. Phelps' White, Yellow,
Qarnet. Buxton and fancy mixed, at 85c per pkt.; 3 for $1.00. Free
cultural directions. All orders cash.

We have a few thousand seedling plants of Silver Pink at $5.00 per 100.
Tills ad will Bulde you to prosperity. Save It.

Creenhonse Heating.

THKEi: FIiOWS PEEFEEABLE.

I have a greenhouse 34x104, six feet
high to the eaves and fourteen feet to
the ridge. The south wall contains one
row of 18-ineh glass. Aside from that,
the sides are covered with ship-lap and
lined with heavy tarred paper. About
one-third of the east end is glass; the
rest of it is lined like the sides. The
boiler room and potting shed are at
the west end of the house. It will be
heated with hot water and I want a
temperature of 60 degrees in zero
weather. I should like to have the
flows on each side. What size of pipe
and how many returns will be needed?
There will be one raised bench at the
south side; the others will be solid
beds. I may build another house, 18x50,
constructed the same as the larger house
and adjoining it on the north side. It
will contain three raised benches. How
should it be piped to maintain the same
temperature? What radiation should
the boiler have? D. W. L. — Ind.

For piping the larger house we would
use a 4-inch flow pipe on each plate,
with eighteen 2-inch returns on the side
walls and under the raised bench, if
all of the flows are to be on the walls.
We would prefer, however, to place a
3-inch flow on each plate and run a 2%-
inch flow four or five feet below the
ridge. Six returns should then be con-
nected with each flow pipe, those from
the overhead flow being placed in the
walks or on the sides of the beds. For
the house 18x50 jve would. use a 2%-
inch flow pipe upon each plate and five
2-inch returns on each wall, under-
neath. To heat the two houses, we
would use a boiler rated for about 3,000
square feet of hot water radiation.

THE INQUntY IS INDEFINITE.

I am building a greenhouse 30x300
and would appreciate a little advice.
What will be the necessary horsepower
of a boiler to heat this house using
high-pressure steam? What is the best
method of piping the house for steam?

B. L. J. — Conn.

The temperature desired is not stated,
but for an average of 60 degrees, when
the outside temperature is 10 degrees
below zero, a boiler with a rating of
thirty to thirty-five horsepower would
answer. In case there is a probability
that a second house of the same size
will be erected, we would suggest that
a boiler of fifty horsepower be installed.

for one house, the cost of fuel with the
larger boiler would be but little if any
more, and might be less in extremely
severe weather.

In order to give any really definite
suggestions regarding the piping of a
greenhouse, one should not only know
what temperature is desired at night
in the coldest weather, but the dura-
tion and intensity of the cold spells
sh«uld be considered, and the extent to
which the house is exposed to high
winds. The amount of glass in the roof,
sides and ends of the house should be
used as the basis for determining the
amount of radiation, and if there is
a great deal of wooden or other exposed
w^l surface, it should also be taken
into account. In order to make sugges-
tions for the location and arrangement
of the heating pipes, it is important
that data be at hand relating to the

It will be seen, therefore, that no
precise suggestions can be based upon
the information furnished, but under
average conditions, in a well built house
which does not have more than thirty
inches of glass in each of the side walls,
it should be possible to maintain a tem-
perature of 60 degrees with one 2^^-

through to the farther end of the house,

ilar increase in the number of returns
should be made. If there is more or
less than thirty inches of glass in the
walls, one return should be added, or
omitted, for each thirty inches of glass
in the cross-section of the house.

In case raised benches are used and
crops are grown for which bottom heat
is desired, we would advise the use of
a third flow pipe, four or five feet below
the ridge. We would then use four 1%-
inch returns on each wall, or under the
side benches, and would distribute five
returns under the other benches, con-

next to the outer walls and at each suia
of the center row of posts. The hous«i»
will be heated with hot water. The
returns will be under the benches. The
boilers will be in a pit and the highest
point of the heating system will be at
the boiler end of the houses.

According to our plan, three 4-inch
boiler tubes will be used as flows iu
•each house, with a gradual drop to the
farther end of the houses. Nine re-
turns will be used in each house, five
under the outer bench and four under
the inner bench. In connecting the
flows and returns, IV^-inch gate valves
will be used. Will the piping described
'be sufficient to heat these greenhouses
to a temperature of 60 degrees when
the outdoor temperature is 15 degrees
below zero? What should be the ca-
pacity of the boiler?

H. J. A. C— O.

From the foregoing letter, it is evi-
dent that it is proposed to use three
4-inch boiler tubes as flow pipes in ea<'h
of the houses, as well as nine returns,
but the size of the return pipes is not
stated. If they are to be 4-inch, they
will furnish the needed amount of radi-
ation. We would suggest the use of a
boiler having a rating of 5,000 square
feet of hot water radiation, to heat
the two houses.

From the size of the gate valves
mentioned, it would appear that 1^-
inch pipes are to be used for connecting
the flows and returns. Since each of
the returns provides nearly 200 square
feet of radiation, we would prefer to
use 2-inch pipes for this purpose. The
use of the boiler tubes as proposed will
give good results if 2-inch connections
are used.

BUFFALO.

The Maxket.

The man who specializes in filling
urns and goes after cemetery work
found himself busy last week. The de-
mand for cheaper grades of flowers was
large, but the largest percentage of re-
turns was from plants, particularly from
the sales of geraniums, dracsenas and
vincas.

Beauties were of good quality and in
large demand. Other roses were suf-
ficient for the demand. Carnations
were in heavy demand, the whites clear-
ing nicely with the others. Peonies and
lilacs seemed to be the features of the
market, selling at $8 to $10 per hundred.
Sweet peas, too, experienced a great
demand. The greenhouse valley is near-
ly done for, but the outdoor stock is
rather plentiful and sells at reduced
figures. Cattleyas are scarce and in
large demand. Violets are of the past
for this season.

Irises are clearing daily and gladioli
are selling easily. Miscellaneous stock,
such as pansies, myosotis, snapdragons
and daisies, acted as a relief during
the scarcity of carnations. The sales of
Narcissus poeticus are rather slow. The
supply and demand of all kinds of
greens have been about equal to the re-
ceipts and sales of cut flowers.

Vajious Notes.

Metropolitan Greenhouses

Thorough In Every Particular

The three things of utmost importance
after signing the contract to build a green-
house, are Quality, Speed and Economy.
This is a basic truth and absolutely es-
sential to the success of any greenhouse
building operation.

Our organization is letter-perfect down to
the minutest detail.

Along with many other prominent Metro-
politan Greenhouse owners, Mr. Martin
Metzner, for whom we built the above
greenhouse on his estate at Lake Ronkon-
koma, Long Island, will verify our claim
that we are capably equipped to build sat-
isfactorily, rapidly and economically.

Bay State Nurseries Use Skinner System
for Their Rhododendron Stock

'T'HIS is one of 'the few nurseries
that import their Rhododendron
stock and then acclimate it in their
own nurseries before selling. If it
can stand the rigors of their New
England climate, it will thrive
practically anywhere.

Early this spring, when talking
with Mr. Wyman. the owner of the
Nursery, he said that "the two great-
est elements in their Rhododendron

success were: semi-shady location,
and plenty of water supplied just the
right way by the Skinner System.

"Our general seedling fields are all
eauipped with it.

%"When you have the water problem
in your control." further said Mr.
Wyman. "you control the most vital
of all your growing problems."

The Market.

The market apparently •will have a
heavy supply for Decoration day. Be-
sides the regular shipments, consider-
able stock has been unloaded here,
■which has caused a crowding of stock
and some reduction in prices.

Eoses are in extremely heavy sup-
ply, but the warm weather has serious-
ly affected their quality. Carnations
are plentiful. The better ones have
met with a ready sale. Easter lilies are
abundant, as well as peonies. Sweet
peas continue plentiful and there are
some fine outdoor blooms available.
Cape jasmines are in a glut and do not
sell well. Gladioli are excellent and
move readily. Valley is rather scarce.
Other offerings include orchids, irises,
cornflowers, snapdragons, callas, stocks,
feverfew and narcissi. Greens are
plentiful.

Various Notes.

P. J. Olinger has started to rebuild
the house, barn and packing shed re-
cently destroyed by fire on his range
at Newcastle, Ind.

C. E. Critchell has been receiving
some fancy varieties of irises from J. A.
Peterson & Sons.

L. H. Kyrk has been offering splendid
sweet Williams from the range of
George Klotter.

Kecent visitors were Julius Dilloff,
representing Schloss Bros., of New
York; Frank Friedley, of Cleveland;
J. T. Herdigen, of Aurora, Ind.; Fred

GLEN COVE, N. Y.

Society Tulip Show.

The tulip show given by the Nassau
County Horticultural Society on the
evening of May 19, at Glen Cove, N. Y.,
brought forth a magnificent display of
these popular flowers. Although Darwin
tulips were in the majority, such types
as cottage, breeder and picotee were
well represented. Almost every class
was keenly contested and the judges,
James Bell, George Wilson and James
Duthie, had a rather difficult task in
making their decisions. John F. John-
stone, Ernest Westlake and Henry Gaut
were the principal prize-winners.

The Awards.

The Market.

Memorial day did not come up to
expectations. When advance quotations
•were to be made, conditions seemed to
indicate that there would be an acute
shortage of stock, especially carnations.
But the warm weather, which came
about a week before the holiday,
brought on the stock te such an extent
that prices broke and carnations were
sufficiently plentiful to be sold at really
reasonable figures. The demand for
stock was large; in fact, it seemed
larger than last year. All orders were
taken care of, but the quality of stock
in general was not so good as it would
have been had the weather remained
cooler.

Sweet peas arrived in large quantities
and were moved only at low prices.
Peonies did not come up to the standard
this year. Though large numbers of
them were sold, the business in this line
was not entirely satisfactory. Outdoor
tulips cut a big figure in the market
and some exceptionally fine Darwins
were to be had. The good stock moved
readily, but the poorer grade had to be
thrown out, as it could not be sold at
any price. Roses were in big demand
and the supply was just as big. Large
orders were well taken care of and the
stock was in fairly good shape. Plant
orders were extremely heavy and enor-
mous quantities were moved. The sale
of spring stock goes merrily on and
will probably continue for several weeks
yet. H. J. S.

Hutchinson, Ean. — Fay Smith and
Leonard Marston, who last fall pur-
chased the business of Charles Stamm,
have dissolved partnership, Mr. Marston
retiring. Mr. Smith will continue the
business at the present location. Cecil

TYPES OF FLOBISTS' SPRAYERS.

Bucket Pump and Knapsack.

Due to the arrangement of benches
in the greenhouse, spray pumps must
necessarily be small, easily handled and
not too cumbersome. In selecting one
of these pumps, care should be taken to
purchase only machines which are dur-
able and simple, and which have an air
chamber large enough to insure a
steady spray. The types of pumps suit-
able for greenhouse spraying are briefly
mentioned below:

The bucket pump is the simplest one
made and can be handled easily by one
man. The fact that it may be used in
any ordinary bucket gives it an advan-
tage over some other outfits. By means
of a foot rest, which extends over the
side of the bucket, the pump can be
held firmly. This type of pump will
do well where a small, convenient pump
is needed.

The knapsack sprayer is a portable
type of bucket pump and consists of a
tank, with straps so attached that it
can be carried on the back, like a knap-
sack. The handle is adjusted so that
it can be operated in front of the
carrier. This, also, is a one-man
sprayer, and, although rather tedious to
operate, is convenient for spraying
plants on the bench.

Compressed Air Sprayers.

In the compressed air sprayer the
tank is partly filled with the liquid,
closed, and air pumped in. This in-
creases the pressure on the liquid,
which is forced out through a nozzle
in the form of a fine spray. Some types
of these pumps are now made which
will empty the reservoir with one
charge, and so can be carried like a
knapsack sprayer. Usually these spray-
ers are inconvenient and heavy to carry.

The Wheel sprayer consists of a tank
and pump fitted into a tubular iron
frame with a wheel, so as to be easily
moved about like a wheelbarrow. The
pump proper has a good-sized air cham-
ber and a good mixer. This is the most
convenient sprayer for greenhouse pur-
poses where much spraying is done. It
is narrow enough to be wheeled be-
tween the benches, is convenient to use
and gives a good pressure,

Bauer is the complainant in a suit

FLOWERS AND FIGURES

Perhaps no one
system of accounts,
with all sources of
was intended for a
to a business of any

ETWEEN flowers and fig-
ures there is, figurativelj',
a wide gulf, but that gulf
must be spanned, for flow-
ers must be figured. Bus-
iness principles must dom-
inate the business of a
florist, surely. He must
figure flowers as accurate-
ly as the contractor fig-
ures cubic yards of concrete or the
number of board feet in lumber. And
those who have not learned this lesson
have not found flower grow-
ing profitable. Long ago the
three Good brothers, of
Springfield, O., learned this
important thing about their
business, for they have been
florists all their lives. Their
experience in solving unusu-
ally complex accounting
problems will interest any
concern that has a great
deal of bookkeeping to do.

In a Modem Way.

Becognizing long ago that
it paid to do things in the
most modern way, these flo-
rists have developed their of-
fice work as the business
grew, until now it is a model
of efficiency. By letting
modern office equipment do
everything that could be
done in that way better, the
proprietors have not only re-
duced the running expenses of their
office from month to month, but have
lightened the burden of figures and
routine with respect to the office em-
ployees.

One of the most
important things
in the business of
selling flowers is
that the money
received be prop-
erly credited and
outgoing consign-
m e n t s properly
charged. This is
especia 1 1 y true
with the Good &
Eecse Co., for
the company does
both wholesale
and retail busi-
ness in a large
way, many con-
signments going to
the most distant
parts of the world.
Starting with
this part of the
office routine, the

anns^pmiE

accounting work is carried on by logi-
cal steps up to a final conclusion in the
trial balance.

When the Good & Reese people get
an order, they make a memorandum of
it on a yellow debit ticket about the
size and shape of a No. 10 envelope.
The amount of the charge, the name of
the consignee, the date and other in-
formation are noted on this memoran-
dum, and the memorandum is passed to
the bookkeeper, who posts the proper
information to the ledger.

The Office Bulldiag of Good & RecM Co.

When cash or other credit comes to
the office, a notation is made on a white
memorandum slip, and from this the
bookkeeper posts directly to the credit

side of the customers' ledger. Near
the close of the day, after invoices
have all been made out and credits
practically all accumulated, the book-
keeper starts posting to the ledger.
This part of the work is one of the
most important and one of the most
valuable of the office practices in re-
spect to time-saving.

The ledger page is ruled for charges,
balance, date and credit on both the
right and left halves. Thus the book-
keeper may utilize the full capacity of
a ledger sheet 11x11 inches.
Taking a ledger page from
the post binder, the operator
posts charges and credits by
separate runs on an adding
machine. Dates are taken
care of by date keys on the
machine.

The Ledger's Testimony.

While debits and credits
are being posted, the
amounts are accumulating in
the machine, so that when
the posting is finished a
total of both charges and
credits may be obtained
from the adding machine.
By checking the total of
charges posted against a pre-
determined total of invoices,
also figured on the machine,
the bookkeeper may prove
his debit postings for the
day.
To get a proof of credit postings, the
operator checks the total of credit
postings against a list of credits made
by the adding machine on a special

form in duplicate.
In other words,
this is a summary
of cash receipts.

In order to get
greater speed in
making out in-
voices, this work
also is done on
the adding ma-
chine. The invoice
blank is dropped
into the machine
the same as the
ledger page, and
date, folio and
amount are print-
ed, so that an in-
voice bearing a
number of items
may be totaled
with every assur-
ance that the final
figure is correct.

up a trial balance, to say nothing about
getting out statements. When it comes
to making out statements, probably the
biggest saving of all is effected.

eral principles as the present "method, it
consumed a great deal more time be-
cause of the slowness of the pen and ink
method. Seldom did the statements go
out before the third of the new month,
and sometimes as late as' the fifth.
Since they have been made on the
machine, they have not gone out later
than the first in a single instance.

From 350 to 500 statements are sent
out each month. They are headed up
by a stenographer, who writes in the
names and addresses on a typewriter
in leisure time during the month, so
that when the rush comes on, the state-
ments are all ready for posting.

No matter whether the items on the
statement are all debits or both debits
and credits, the final figure or balance
is transferred to the lower counter of
the adding machine, where it is stored
along with balances from other cus-
tomers' statements. When the operator
has all the statements made out, be
gets a grand total of all the individual
statement balances that were previous-
ly transferred to the lower counter.

No Trouble with Trial Balance.

In this way, the operator's trial bal-
ance is ready for him as soon as his
statements have been made out, and
there never is any trouble about get-
ting the trial balance to come out right.

The adding machine is also used to
make out the company's bank deposit
slips. By inserting a sheet of carbon
paper between the forms, a duplicate of
the original may be made out and kept
in the office for reference.

BUSINESS EMSABRASSMENTS.

•Montgomery, Ala. — A petition in
bankruptcy has been filed in the United
States District court by H. E. Mitting.
His liabilities aggregate $6,729.11, with
assets consisting of stock in trade and
a crop of flowers on rented land. He

lists $242.90 worth of open accounts.
Mr. Mitting conducted the business un-
der the name of Morningview Floral
Co., on South Perry street.

Lawrence, B:an. — The affairs of the
Ince Nursery Co., which are now in
process of adjustment, indicate that the
stockholders will lose heavily. The as-
sets are estimated at $6,000 and there
is an indebtedness of $19,000 against
the concern, according to those inter-
ested in the business. In 1911 the com-
pany declared thirteen per cent on a
$20,000 valuation. It was capitalized
for $10,000 common and $10,000 pre-
ferred stock, the latter bearing seven
per cent interest. At this time, it is
said, all indebtedness was paid and

there was some money in the treasury.
In the four years that followed, how-
ever, the company not only spent all its
receipts but also expended $19,000 of
borrowed money. One of the officers of
the embarrassed company said that the
smash of the cotton market and the
bad times that followed were princi-
pally responsible for the present state
of affairs.

WUber, Neb.— William Bohacek, a
member of the village board of trustees,
is contemplating the erection of green-
houses this summer.

Cleveland, O.— Timothy Smith visited
Detroit last month to serve as judge of

FLOBISTS ENJOIN CEMETERY.

Declaring that the Wyuka cemetery
and its trustees can undersell them, the
C. H. Frey Co., Prey & Frey, the Land-
scape Nurseries Co., Hiltner Bros, and
C. B. Keller, florists of Lincoln, Neb.,
have secured a temporary restraining
order prohibiting the cemetery and its
trustees from selling flowers until after
the hearing June 28.

The plaintiffs declare that the state
of Nebraska gave the cemetery ground
for the benefit of the people, but that
the trustees have devoted a portion of
the grounds to greenhouses and have
gone into the florists' business on a
large scale. It is asserted that because
of the profit from lots, and the large
number of people who daily visit the
cemetery, the city florists cannot fairly
compete with the cemetery.

The cemetery's business is growing,
the plaintiffs declare, and they say they
are informed and believe that more
greenhouses and other equipment are
to be installed. The court will hear
the application for a permanent in-
junction, June 28.

AN IMPORTANT PRECEDENT.

The New Jersey Supreme court
handed down a decision the other day
supporting the right of a florist to can-
cel a contract to take advertising post
cards in monthly installments, when
the seller broke an agreement not to
sell the cards to anyone else in the
trade in the same town.

Notwithstanding the defendant 's
breach of his contract to take more
cards, because similar ones had been
sold to a rival florist, in violation of
the agreement, the plaintiff shipped ad-
ditional installments, which the de-
fendant refused to receive. Thereupon
the plaintiff brought suit to recover
for the cards. The trial court refused
to sustain the defendant's defense, be-
cause the cards sold the two florists
were not identical in appearance, but
the higher court reversed the judgment,
holding that the seller of the cards
broke his agreement by selling similar
cards to a competing florist. The court
said:

"The meaning of the agreement was
that the plaintiff should not supply
cards substantially similar in type and
make-up to anyone else within the pro-
hibited territory. The most cursory in-
spection makes it perfectly evident that
the similarity was so close as almost to
amount to identity." S.

EQUAIJTY IN WATER RATES.

Basing its decision on the legal prin-
ciple that a water company engaged
in supplying water to the public in a
town or city, or outlying districts, is
bound to afford all consumers who are
similarly situated the same service at
the same rates, tha Supreme court of
Alabama holds in the case of Brown vs.
Birmingham Waterworks Co., 67 South-
ern Reporter 613, that a consumer can-
not enforce a contract against a water

company if he would thereby derive an
unfair advantage over other persons.
The court declares that equality of
rates is more important to the public
than low rates.

Plaintiff and a few other consumers

handling Primula obconica, we reprint
herewith notes as to remedies which
have been published when the question
has previously been under discussion:

One reader writes: "As to a remedy
for poisoning by Primula obconica,
would say I have been poisoned several
times. I used Luy tie's Pinus ointment
as a local application and sulphur and
cream of tartar to purify the blood. I
used one-third cream of tartar and
two-thirds sulphur, mixed well. Dose,
one teaspoonful every morning in milk.
Also take good nourishment. I have
never known it to fail."

Another says: "Tell the sufferer to
^try good, thick, sweet cream, well and

in Birmingham were given contracts

calling for water service on a metered (frequently rubbed on as a lotion. This

basis, whereas consumers generally in has with us proved a sovereign rem

the same class were required to pay a
less favorable flat rate. The company
repudiated the contract and, on plaintiff
refusing to abide by the general rate,
discontinued service. Suit was brought
to enforce compliance with the meter
contract, but on the ground above
stated the Supreme court denied right
to relief.

In short, this decision is authority
for saying that florists and nurserymen,
as well as consumers in general, are
entitled to receive water service with-
out unreasonable discrimination, and if
one of them holds a contract which is
more favorable than that given other
consumers of water similarly situated,
the courts will not enforce it. This
does not mean, of course, that rates
may not be graduated according to
average consumption, for the validity
of graduated rates is well recognized
by all the courts. S.

edy."

A Connecticut reader writes: "It
seems to me that the action of Primula
obconica poisoning is similar to that
of the poison ivy. The cure in both
cases, as far as my experience goes, is
a free application of tincture of blood-
root. Apply the tincture with a sponge
or clean cloth to the parts affected.
I have known of several cures by this
tincture where the poisoning has been
caused by either the ivy or the
primula."

"A few applications- of peroxide of
hydrogen gave me relief," writes a
Pennsylvanian.

An alcohol solution of sugar of lead
is recommended by the Department of
Agriculture as an antidote for rhus
poisoning. It will probably cure prim-
ula poisoning as well. An application
of the juice of Impatiens fulva is said
to cure rhus poisoning.

REGEL'S PRIVET RECOMMENDED.

In The Review for May 25, on page
71, a subscriber asks for a hardier
privet than Ligustrum ovalifolium, a
variety that would be better suited to
the cold latitudes than the California
privet. I recommend liigustrum Re-
gelianum to the inquirer. This variety
is as hardy as L. Ibota and has a
brighter green foliage, with branches
that bear a resemblance to a fern frond.
I think it likely that L. Regelianum is
a sport of L. Ibota, as I once had a
batch of Ibota seedlings of which some
of the branches had the leaf arrange-
ment peculiar to L. Regelianum.
Regelianum is unusually compact and
bushy and therefore desirable in a
hedgA.

There are two plants of L. Regeli-
anum at Eaton, O., nine feet in height
and of greater width. Recently the
plants were covered with a, great pro-
fusion of white buds.

Amoor river privet, or Ligustrum
Amurense, is quite hardy in our loca-
tion, Preble county, Ohio. It has, how-
ever, a decidedly upright growth and
does not form so compact a hedge as
the California privet. My observations

lead me to conclude that a plant of
L. ovalifolium becomes hardier as it
grows older. E. Y. Teas.

PASTE FOR pED SPIDER.

I read with interQst the article in
The Review for May 11 and 18 on how
to fight the red spider. I have had fif-
teen years' experience in making the
paste remedy and am pleased to give
the trade an account of my method.
First, I do not use cheap flour, but the
best, as it makes more paste and a
clearer and more effective remedy. Sec-
ondly, I do not boil the paste. At the
start I add enough cool water to the
flour to make a thick mixture and then
stir it until it is even and free from
lumps. Then I thin it to the con-
sistency of cream and pour in boiling
water, stirring the mixture lively so
that it will not cook in lumps. The
water must be boiling, or the paste will
not cook thoroughly. I can have a pail
of the finest paste I ever saw five min-
utes after the boiling water has been
added. There is no need of making
the paste over a hot fire, a method that
frequently results in scorched paste.

General Views in the Tent Show of the International Garden Club, Pelham Bay Park, New York.

NEW YORK'S TENTED SHOW.

Few Trade Exhibitors.

The "open air" flower show June 1
to 4 at the Bartow mansion, Pelham
Bay Fark, New York, under the auspices
of the International Garden Club, was
a gratifying success to those concerned,
although the number of exhibitors was
less than one would have supposed in
view of the extremely liberal premiums,
aggregating $3,250 in twenty-four com-
mercial classes. The attendance, how-
ever, was ahead of expectations and
most encouraging to the originators of
the project.

A more beautiful park than Pelham
Bay, and a finer mansion than the
Bartow it would be hard to find. The
weather was ideal. The show was
staged in and around a large tent. The
first day of the show the admission
was $5, an innovation in values that
met with the anticipated recognition of
"The Four Hundred." In fact, there
were close to 400 autos on the grounds
and the cream of New York's society
circles attended. The admission was $1
the second day and 50 cents the third
day, while the grounds, mansion and
flower show were all free to the public
on Sunday.

Arthur Herrington was manager of
the show, assisted by H. A. Bunyard
and J. H. Pepper. The schedule was
arranged by a committee of the trade
consisting of Harry A. Bunyard, chair-
man; F. L. Atkins, Leonard Barron,
John Canning, W. H. Duckham, M. C.
Ebel, Benjamin Hammond, I. S. Hen-
drickson, John E. Lager, W. A. Manda,
F. R. Pierson, Wallace E. Pierson, P. W.
Popp, Julius Roehrs, George E. M.
Stumpp, Charles H. Totty, David Ward
and J. Harrison Dick, secretary. The
prospectus said the affair had the "co-
operation "of some twenty trade and
gardening societies, and of many lead-
ing firms, naming them, but there were
only seven trade exhibitors for the
$3,250 in prizes, and only about as
many private gardeners and amateurs.

The Awards.

The judges were C. H. Totty, chair-
man; F. H. Traendly, A. T. Bunyard,

The premiums in the gardeners'
classes were awarded to George N. Sul-
livan, gardener to Mrs. W. G. Nichols,
Rye, N. Y.; J. F. Mossman, gardener to
Clement Moore, Hackensack, N. J.;
James Linane, gardener to Mrs. George
D. Barron, Rye, N. Y.; E. Fordel, gar-
dener to Mrs. A. M. Booth, Great Neck,
N. Y., and the gardener for Mrs. J. H.
Flagler, Greenwich, Conn. Honorable
mention was accorded a number of ex-
hibits not for competition, including
hemerocallis from John Lewis Childs
and a collection of cut flowers from
H. A. Bunyard Co.

J. Canning, superintendent for Adolph
Lewisohn, Ardsley, N. Y.; Adam Peter-
son, gardener for Miss Scheflier, Sauga-
tuck, Conn., and P. Sorenson, gardener
for Wm. Shillaber, Essex Falls, N. J.,
were among those who showed good
stock but did not compete.

ahent, Belgium.— Mails from neutral
countries are slowly trickling through
the double censorship, British and Ger-
man, but in many cases delivery was
so delayed that shipment of stock was
impossible. In spite of the proximity
of the fighting front, conditions usually
are quiet here and nursery stock is be-
ing produced in greater volume than
necessary to fill orders with many mar-
kets closed and transportation chaotic.

Newtownards, Ireland.— Alex. Dick-
son & Sons, (Ltd., have a new rose called
Climbing Irish Fireflame, of which it
is said: "In all respects, excepting
growth, identical with the normal type,
from which it originated with us three
years ago. The growth is vigorous and
of true climbing habit. This will prove
a most valuable and important addition
to the climbing section; one that is
certain to be much in demand." It will
be sent out this year.

Haarlem, Holland. — Much interest is
taken here in the colored freesias devel-
oped in America. Several growers in
various parts of Holland and in south-
ern France had been working on bright-
hued freesias prior to the war, but re-
ports from travelers who have seen the
Fischer and Frey stock in America in-
dicate Europe has not equaled their
results.

Hamburg, Germany. — The areas of
valley pips in the district east of this
city that has produced the greater part
of the world's supply are considerably
reduced this year. The difficulty of ex-
porting last season's crop, with the
prospect of still greater obstacles next
season if the war continues, has re-
sulted in food crops being planted in-
stead of valley. The pips are grown
in small areas by a large number of
gardeners, who sell the crop to a dealer
before harvest.

The Florists' Review

June 8, 1916.

spells of warm, dry weather. The best
preventive or remedy is 'to spray your
plants freely with the hose, using a
spray nozzle, so as to secure a good
force, and directing it below as well as
above both foliage and buds. Once
the thrips have appeared, it is diflScult
to clear them out. Bed spider is an-
other small pest which is liable to at-
tack your roses during hot weather, if
the plants are indoors and if too arid
an atmosphere prevails. C. W.

FORCED BOSES IN THE FIELD.

Would you consider discarded stock
of forcing roses, grafted or budded, as
being of any value for outside ground
if the stock is well ripened off and
planted out about April 1 to 10? Can a
good crop of blooms be expected the
first summer? L. S. K. — Mass.

Forced roses, if gradually cooled off
and planted out in your latitude about
April 20, will give a good crop of flow-
ers the same season. They prefer some-
what light but rich soil and, if given a
summer mulch of old manure and an
occasional watering, will well repay you
for the additional labor. C. W.

BOSE SLUG AND LADY BUG.

My roses are being infested by a
small green bug that simply takes pos-
session of the buds, which soon turn
black and die. I also am bothered with
lady bugs, which give me considerable
trouble in shrubbery, etc. Can you
give me a formula for making an effec-
tive solution with which to spray?

W. S. E.— Fla.

The pest referred to is probably the
rose slug, which is destructive to leaves
and buds of outdoor roses. It is best
to anticipate its arrival and spray a
short time before its appearance. Use
a generous tablespoonful of white,
powdered hellebore to three gallons
of warm water, stir thoroughly and
spray when the liquid has cooled.
Direct the sprays below and above the
foliage. Usually one application will
suffice. Lady bugs are friends and de-
stroy great quantities of aphis; do not
destroy them on any account. C. W.

A MIXED BENCH OF BOSES.

Can the Mrs. Charles Eussell rose be
grown in the same house with Killar-
ney, Richmond and Sunburst? I am
to start resting my plants early in
June. Can I bench the Russells in the
same house and start them while the
others are resting? I would like any
information you can give in regard to
growing a mixed bench of roses.

A. J. P.— la.

While the temperature for Killarney
is all right for Russell, the man whose
space compells him to grow a "mixed
bench" of roses will do well to use
space for some other crop and order his
roses from larger source of supply. The
day has gone by when it will pay any

man to grow a few scores, or even a
few hundreds, of several varieties of
roses. Be he ever so expert he can not
cut enough to maintain a supply; he
might as well buy all he needs, as he
must buy most of them anyway.

Mrs. Russell is a rose for a specialist,
not for a "mixed bench." In the
hands of the average grower it is slow
and the quality nothing to brag of.
The specialist gets both quantity and
quality by the judicious use of extra
heat, extra fertilizer and extra water
after a fashion impossible to the man
with a "mixed bench."

PBIMULAS FOB IDENTIFICATION.

Under separate cover I am sending
a leaf and blossom of three primulas.
Please give me the correct botanical
name of each. W. H. G. — Wis

The flowers were much withered, but
one variety, with the largest flowers,
appears to be a form of Primula Poly-
antha. Another, with small yellow
flowers, looks like P. veris. The third
variety may be P. eortusoides or P.
rosea, but is too withered for positive
identification. C. W.

INSECTS IN THE BOSEBXTDS.

My roses are infested with tiny, mite-
like insects which cause the flowers to
blight. The plants are luxuriant and
they bud well, but about the time the
buds should mature they begin to
blight, and when they are examined and
torn to pieces it is seen there are nu-
merous white-looking, mite-like insects
at the base of the petals. Please tell
me what to do. B. D. C. — Ark.

Probably the mites you refer to are
the white thrips or hoppers which
often attack roses, particularly during

Anaconda^ Mont. — A ccording to
Charles Blank, Anaconda is not the
best place in the world to grow stock.
Said he one day last ^ week, perhaps
while feeling a little blue or out of
sorts: "After having grown stock suc-
cessfully at Anaconda for four years,
I feel quite safe and competent to
tackle floriculture anywhere outside of
Hades. The winds from the west mean
frost and snow; the winds from the
east bring smelter smoke. Between the
two of them it's an uphill job winter
and summer. I shall be glad to get
back to some country where things will
grow of their own accord, at least part
of the year." At the time of writing
Mr. Blank expected to visit his home at
Orange, N. J., and then locate on a
place of his own in the central west.

Gloxinias.

Gloxinias are among the most beau-
tiful of our summer tuberous-rooted pot
plants. The erect-flower types are far
the best and have ' all but displaced
the old drooping varieties. Gloxinias
are more tender than tuberous be-
gonias. They will do well in an ordi-
nary greenhouse in summer, but they
appreciate a little more warmth than
the begonia. They must not have di-
rect sunshine, or they will burn badly.
Be careful not to wet the foliage. If
the foliage is damp and the sun strikes
it the plants are likely to become dis-
figured. In order to secure strong
tubers the first season, try the plan
of planting out any seedlings you may
have in a coldframe, placing them in
a light, but well enriched compost. An
old hotbed will be ideal. Shade the
sashes and keep them tilted at top and
bottom. Fumigate the plants occa-
sionally to keep down the thrips. Much
finer tubers may be had by this method

of culture than b]^ pot culture alone.

Cyclamens.

This is a busy season and cyclamens
and other plants needed for early win-
ter blooming are liable to be neglected
under the pressure of other duties. Try
to find time to keep them potted
along, using a compost of equal parts
fibrous loam and fiaky leaf-mold, with
one-fifth or one-sixth of the whole of
dried cow manure. Cyclamens can be
successfully grown either in green-
houses or coldframes through the sum-
mer. If kept in greenhouses, spray
them freely in hot weather, fumigate
them once a week to keep down aphis
and thrips and ventilate the houses
freely. If placed in coldframes, tilt
the sashes at both ends and use lath
shades during bright sunshine. The

on nights when there seems no likeli-
hood of heavy rain. Be sure to spray
the plants freely with the hose on all

MAYWOOD, ni.

Close of a Successful Season.

On the whole the season now closing
for most of the Maywood growers, all
of whom loolc to the Chicago market, has
been the most successful in years. . A
few growers still are cutting quite a
few roses, but active preparations for
another season are under way and by
the end of June or early July shipments
will be at the low point of the year.
Maywood is a rose town. Several es-
tablishments produce only mums and
sweet peas, but there are only a few
carnations; the three largest places
have roses only. The general situation
is apparent from the fact that at prac-
tically every place building of some
sort is going on— greenhouses, chim-
neys, garages, etc.

The Maywood growers' colony is lo-
cated about two and one-half miles
northwest of the town itself. Albert
F. Amling was the pioneer and most of
the activities as well as the other
places center around the "Company's"
range. Its motor truck hauls the cut
to market for most of the others and
brings their supplies from the city; its
teams also haul the coal for most of the
community, which is quite a job. Also,
most of the growers are either mem-
bers of the Amling family or graduates
from the .original Amling establishment
and follow its successful methods, one
of which is to buy young stock rather
than propagate its own; scarcely any-
one in Maywood propagates roses or
mums.

The "Company's" Activities.

The American Greenhouse Mfg. Co.
is bringing to a rapid close the work of
erecting nine steel frame houses, each
44x550, on the north side of the original
range of the Albert F. Amling Co., and
right on the heels of the builders the
planters have been at work. The es-
tablishment now consists of nearly half
a million feet of glass and is devoted
exclusively to roses. The planting list
is of interest because of the small
number of varieties. At the beginning
of the year the following schedule was
made for the whole place:

Mrs. Charles Russell 80,000 plants

Ophelia 45,000 plants

Mrs. Aaron Ward 35,000 plants

White Killarney 30,000 plants

Killarney Brilliant 15,000 plants

Milady 6,000 plants

Mrs. George Shawyer 5,000 plants

Sunburst 5,000 plants

Mile. Cecile Brunner 5,000 plants

Space for others 10,000 plants

Total 235,000 plants

The diflSeulty of getting stock of cer-
tain varieties at the time wanted has
caused some changes. Shawyer and
Brunner were dropped and this with
unassigned space given to Milady and
Sunburst. The planting list for the
144 benches, approximately 4x270, in
the new houses is:

Mrs. Russell 40,000 plants

Ophelia 35,000 plants

Killa.-ney Brilliant 10.000 plants

White Killarney 10.000 plants

Mrs. Ward 9,000 plants

Milady 10,000 plants

Sunburst 15,000 plants

Total 129,000 plants

The new greenhouses are practically
finished, and in the benches first planted
the stock is taking hold nicely, but the
addition to the service building remains
to go up. It is to house two big Kroes-
chell steam boilers with mechanical
stokers. A new Heine chimney, 175
feet high, also is to be built.

HENRY PENN.

THIS is the Penn that put publicity into the retail flower business in Boston.
Like many of the most skillful advertisers, Mr. Penn is of unassuming disposi-
tion— it is his business, not himself he advertises — and it required no little
diplomacy to obtain the photograph necessary for the purposes of this note. Mr.
Penn was born in Boston, March 27, 1877. He started in the flower business as a
boy of 14 and had his own store when he was 21. Since his brother, William, ob-
tained an interest in the business it has been conducted under the title, Penn the
Florist. No other retail florist seems to understand so well converting one dollar
spent for newspaper space into two to put back in the cash register; certainly
no other retail florist spends anything like so much money for newspaper adver-
tising and few ever have enjoyed so large an increase in business as that which
has come to Penn these last few years.

Albert Amling, accompanied by Mrs.
Amling, went to the Battle Creek sani-
tarium last week for a rest, so that
Otto Amling and William CoUatz have
plenty to occupy their time for some
weeks. There are some 6,000 tons of
coal to be hauled in from the railroad
half a mile away.

At W. H. Amling 's.

Although the planting of 40,000
mums has begun, .W. H. Amling, with a
pick of 25,000 sweet peas daily, still is
three or four weeks away from the
end of the most successful sweet pea
season he ever has enjoyed. Mr.
Amling is at Defiance, O., this week.

' ' where I got my wife, " as he puts it.
He takes life considerably easier than
he did, for he has three sons who take
the greater part of the work and re-
sponsibility off his shoulders. Walter,
who has charge of the separate range
of five houses in roses; Herbert, who
looks after the mums and sweet peas,
and Martin, 19 years old but weighing
180 pounds, who has the carnations
and the two families of canaries rear-
ing their young among the flowers. At
the rose range a 75-foot Heine stack
has been completed; the 6x16 Kroes-
chell boiler that shortly will be in-
stalled was ordered by telephone.

garage and Walter has just bought a
Ford, 80 a new garage is being built
at the rose range. Its size, 20x24, is
not prompted by the size of Walter's
car, but by the foresight that suggests
a refrigerating plant at the time the
three or four more houses go up to
make the two places one. The addi-
tion would have been made this year
but for the high cost of materials.

Ernst C. Amllng.

The roofs of the Ernst Amling es-
tablishment shelter three strong boys,
the baby of six months just happily
recovering from a rather severe attack
of measles; 20,000 Mrs. Kussell, 5,000
Ophelia and a quite new Moline-Knight
car, not to mention Sport, the shepherd
dog, also glad* to see visitors. So it
is no wonder Mr. and Mrs. Amling are
thoroughly content. This range was
one of the first to try Bussell and the
original plants are still there. The
proprietor thinks he has done better
with it this season than any of
his neighbors have done with other
varieties and the plants are in such
good condition he is going right on
with most of them, only drying off
a few benches of the oldest. But Mr.
Amling admits the space occupied by
Ophelia has brought more money per
foot than has the space in Bussell, even
if Bussell has done splendidly. He says
the Ophelia plants will average thirty
flowers each for the season, the present
cut being the best yet. Ophelia has
brought better prices than any other
rose of its size this year.

The Eeauty Growers.

The one exception to the general sat-
isfaction with the season, so far as the
Maywood growers are concerned, is the
Weiss & Meyer Co., which devotes all
its space to Beauties. None of the
Beauty growers for the Chicago mar-
ket seems to have done specially well
this season. The Weiss & Meyer Co.
did splendidly with its Beauties up to
Christmas and it looked like a banner
season, for the heavy cut was realizing
good prices, but then black spot swept
in, the same disease, by the way, that
gave the Bussell growers of the neigh-
borhood some anxious moments. Since
then there have been few Beauties to
cut, only one house now being in crop.
About half the place has been replanted
with young stock, part from Poehlmann
Bros. Co. and part from the Batavia
Greenhouse Co. The other half is be-
ing replanted with old stock dried off
and cut back. There will be 35,000
Beauty plants on the benches when the
work is done. A big artesian well has
been put down a little over 300 feet
and a new water supply system is being
put in.

Everybody Busy.

The winter-blooming Spencer peas in
Henry Wehrman's south houses are a
sight, for picking ceased some days ago,
when the crop of spring bloomers be-
came so heavy it occupied all attention.
Mr. Wehrman never has had a better
season than the one now closing, the
pick having been steady and prices the
same. Preparations are now in progress
for filling the houses with mums, for
the usual autumn crop.

Walter Burhop is industriously pick-
ing sweet peas while preparing to plant
mums for a fall crop. The peas have
held out unusually well this season be-
cause of the cool weather and the pres-
ent pick is heavy.

Hugo Luedtke is one of the few
Maywood growers who has neither roses
nor sweet peas; his specialty is the old-
fashioned flowers. At present his prin-
cipal cut is double stocks that make a
sheet of snow of the benches not al-
ready emptied.

A 50-foot Heine chimney is William
Wichtendahl 's spring addition. He has
his place in excellent order.

Felsch Bros., on the south side, are
busy with bedding plants, the season
having started late.

The Albert T. Hey Floral Co., in the
west end of Maywood, is having an ac-
tive retail season.

RESOUBCEFUI.NESS.

In these days we hear a great deal
of talk about preparedness and little
about resourcefulness, an attribute of
greatest importance, especially among
country florists. It doesn't take much
ability to meet an unexpected demand
if one has . at his back the resources
of a big city, but with the cpuntry

When Stock Was Scarce.

florist it is quite a different matter:
It is impossible to be prepared, as
business does not warrant carrying
much stock, and resourcefulness must
frequently be called into play when a
hurry-up order comes in. In such a
case the hamper of prepared magnolia
leaves usually is called on, but some-
times it is not acceptable. Such was
the position of J. J. Utter, of West
Branch, Mich., the other day; the be-
lated customer would have nothing if
not a star on a base, while the stock
at hand was a bunch of carnations, two
bunches of marguerites and a little
swainsona. The illustration shows the
result. Many a man has done worse
with more.

as you can see by the enclosed speci-
men. Can you inform us as to the
cause! E. B. H. & C— N. J.

The double white gardenia-scented
narcissus, N. albus plenus odoratus, acts
in this way with the majority of grow-
ers. Its requirements are a deep, moist,
but well drained soil. In suQh a soil
it will still throw some withered buds,
but will give a good crop of flowers.
The best crop of this fine narcissus I
have ever seen was growing about three
feet above the water level of a large
pond in grass land. It is possible, how-
ever, to get a good lot of flowers im
any deep soil. Cover the bulbs to a
depth of four inches. Beplant once in
four years, taking up the bulbs when
the foliage has matured. It is well to
state that it is much easier to grow
foliage than flowers on this beautiful
narcissus. C. W.

BLiaHTED NARCISSUS BUDS.

We have a clump of double narcissi,
albus plenus odoratus, which were set
outdoors in the fall of 1913, but never
have bloomed satisfactorily. The
flowers develop partly and then dry up.

Memorial day in the Buffalo cut
flower market will not be remembered
as a holiday of record-breaking busi-
ness or as a holiday of scarcity of stock.
Weather conditions were tigainst the
day and more business was anticipated
in cut flowers. The sales of plants,
however, made up for it. Decorative
work for school commencements is in
full blast.

Beauties were more than sufficient for
requirements and other varieties also
were more than plentiful. What little
funeral work there was cut no figure
in moving the supply. Carnations were
held back for several days and Memo-
rial day all varieties in quantity were
available. The sales were rather slow.
The peony situation was much like that
of the carnations. Practically the en-
tire market was ruled by the large
quantity of lilac, which was substi-
tuted for other flowers. The supply of
valley fluctuates from day to day. Cat-
tleyas, as usual, were scarce. Eastern
lilies were abundant and considerable
difficulty was experienced in moving
them. Callas are gradually receding.
Baby gladioli and sweet peas enjoyed
a ready sale. Irises and yellow daisies
were in eager demand. Miscellaneous
stock did not move with much celerity.
Greens of all kinds were plentiful. The
supply of fancy ferns is smaller.

Various Notes.

F. Baum found himself more than
busy Memorial day and he cleared all
pot plants.

Miss A. A. Erckert is working early
and late filling porch boxes and urns.
Although the force has been working
overtime for the last two weeks, it
has not caught up with the orders.

The strike of the express drivers has
not had a bad effect on the Buffalo
florists, although there is some trouble
in receiving and sending shipments on
certain routes.

On visiting the greenhouses of the
city and suburban towns, I found in
many cases that there had been a com-
plete clean-up of spring stock; some-
times all orders had not been filled.

Harold Taylor, who is with John
Breitmeyer's Sons, of Detroit, was in
town June 4.

L. H. Neubeck has been busy filling
window boxes and urns. Memorial day
he was on the jump. A. E.

NEW YORK.

The Market.

The wholesale cut flower market is
subject to the usual conditions of June
aud the coming hot season. Fortunate-
ly, the spring to date has been excep-
tionally cool, but the anticipated reac-
tion after Memorial day arrived prompt-
ly. Bose shipments especially increased
and prices fell, even $5 per thousand
being accepted at times for the lower
grades. June 3 was exceptionally dull,
the market being overwhelmed by the
peony shipments. From $1 per dozen
the price receded June 3 to $20 per
thousand. Many thousands are being
put in cold storage daily. The quality
of the arrivals is generally good. Car-
nations find the flood of peonies and
roses too swift to stem and prices have
fallen to one-third the quotations of a
week ago; June 3 $5 to $20 per thou-
sand was the range; even the novelties
could be bought as low as $1.50 per
hundred. Lilies have fallen to 4 cents
each; a few touched 5 cents, but many
were sold at $3 per hundred. Valley
also is weak, owing to the great quan-
tity of the outdoor crop. Even the
best valley sold no higher than $3 per
hundred.

The lilac has fulfilled its mission and
practically disappeared. Immense quan-
tities were sold. The street men, with
loaded carts, were much in evidence at
the end. These sidewalk merchants
will have to do their share also in the
peony distribution.

The orchid supply is ample and prices
for the best gigas do not advance. In
fact, some were sold as low as 25 cents
June 3. Last week's tulip offerings
were light, but the quality was superb.
The Spencer sweet peas were in good
demand and sold readily, but anything
off quality was unsalable. Few irises
remain. Callas are abundant and so
are daisies, gladioli, snowballs and Kam-
bler roses.

The week opened with sunshine and
cool temperature. A fine volume of
June business for the retail fiorists is
anticipated.

Various Notes.

The final meeting of the season for
the Florists' Club will be held June 12,
at its rooms in the Grand Opera House
building, West Twenty-third street and
Eighth avenue. Exhibits will be wel-
comed, and the essay committee
promises to have much of interest on
its program.

The field day at the establishment of
A. N. Pierson, Inc., Cromwell, Conn.,
will be held June 21. Among the in-
vitations sent out are those to the mem-
bers of the National Association of
Gardeners and the American Associa-
tion of Park Superintendents.

Gustave C. Mickley, of the Waren-
dorff force, leaves this week for Wau-
chula, Fla., to remain until September.

Eugene J. Keenan, for eight years
with the Greater New York Florists'
Association, Brooklyn, has resigned his
position and will soon be enlisted with
one of the New York wholesalers.

Goldstein & Futterman say they dis-
posed of over 20,000 peonies for
Memorial day.

Samuel Woodrow has the contract for
the decorations at the Grand Central
Palace, during the continuance of the
great bazaar in behalf of the Allies.

B. Bosens and family and A. Waren-

dorff and wife again are located at their
summer homes at Averne by the Sea.

Wm. P. Ford spent June 4 at his
farm in Pennsylvania, where his peonies
are in full bloom.

The George W. Crawbuck Co. opened
its store at 57 West Twenty-eighth
street June 1 and had a busy Saturday
as an encouraging send-oflf. Mr. Craw-
buck and his associates are well and
favorably known in the trade.

William Kessler's rebuilt store is
complete and in the future will be de-
voted exclusively to his wholesale cut
flower trade.

The Greek-American Florists' Asso-
ciation will hold its annual outing early
in July, at College Point, L. I. A boat
has been engaged that will carry over
1,000 safely.

The showing of tulips in over 100 va-
rieties, recently seen in the display win-
dows of Stumpp & Walter Co., has at-
tracted much attention. The Darwins,
especially, have created comment and
many orders for autumn have been
booked. J. Austin Shaw.

NASHVILLE, TENN.

The Market.

Last week was a good one for the
trade here, as it was commencement
week in the schools. This is the best
flower event of the year, not considering
the regular holidays. The express
drivers' strike in Chicago incon-
venienced the trade here not a little, as
, shipments to meet the increased de-
mands were not delivered promptly. As
a result, everything worthy cleaned up,
each florist accommodating the others in
every way he cpuld. There was a bet-
ter spirit of cooperation than ever this

spring. It is a help to all in the end.

Both the national Decoration day and
the Confederate Decoration day re-
ceived attention this year, and these,
together with the preparedness parade
June 3, helped to clear every item.

Roses are fairly plentiful now. Most
of the winter varieties have been put
to sleep for their summer's rest. Rus-
sell easily holds the middle of the stage
at present and this variety will be more
largely planted this year. Carnations
are coming in freely. The quality is
better than is usual at this season.
There are a few English and Siberian
irises in the market and they sell well.
These varieties deserve more attention
from the trade, as both come late, when
there is need of flowers of their type.

This has been a great season for
outdoor roses. I have seldom seen bet-
ter stock outdoors. Bedding plants are
of the past, and as soon as the June
weddings and commencements are over
the trade can take a good nap until the
fall work starts. If summer business is
not what it should be, why does not
some one work up a business of de-
livering flowers to the various summer
resorts near the city?

Various Notes.

The Joy Floral Co. last week n^ade
the largest blanket it ever executed.
It comprised roses and valley, with a
huge cross of lilies in the center.
* The Hillcrest School Farm expects
to begin digging tulip and narcissus
bulbs next week. These have ripened
earlier than usual this year.

Mclntyre Bros, say they have moved
more good boxwood this season than
during any other year. They have the
best lot of home-grown specimens I have
seen in the south. F. B.

garage and Walter has just bought a
Ford, so a new garage is being built
at the rose range. Its size, 20x24, is
not prompted by the size of Walter's
car, but by the foresight that suggests
a refrigerating plant at the time the
three or four more houses go up to
make the two places one. The addi-
tion would have been made this year
but for the high cost of materials.

Ernst C. Amling.

The roofs of the Ernst Amling es-
tablishment shelter three strong boys,
the baby of six months just happily
recovering from a rather severe attack
of measles; 20,000 Mrs. Eussell, 5,000
Ophelia and a quite new Moline-Knight
car, not to mention Sport, the shepherd
dog, also glad' to see visitors. So it
is no wonder Mr. and Mrs. Amling are
thoroughly content. This range was
one of the first to try Russell and the
original plants are still there. The
proprietor thinks he has done better
with it this season than any of
his neighbors have done with other
varieties and the plants are in such
good condition he is going right on
with most of them, only drying off
a few benches of the oldest. But Mr.
Amling admits the space occupied by
Ophelia has brought more money per
foot than has the space in Russell, even
if Russell has done splendidly. He says
the Ophelia plants will average thirty
flowers each for the season, the present
cut being the best yet. Ophelia has
brought better prices than any other
rose of its size this year.

The Beauty Growers.

The one exception to the general sat-
isfaction with the season, so far as the
Maywood growers are concerned, is the
Weiss & Meyer Co., which devotes all
its space to Beauties. None of the
Beauty growers for the Chicago mar-
ket seems to have done specially well
this season. The Weiss & Meyer Co.
did splendidly with its Beauties up to
Christmas and it looked like a banner
season, for the heavy cut was realizing
good prices, but then black spot swept
in, the same disease, by the way, that
gave the Russell growers of the neigh-
borhood some anxious moments. Since
then there have been few Beauties to
cut, only one house now being in crop.
About half the place has been replanted
with young stock, part from Poehlmann
Bros. Co. and part from the Batavia
Greenhouse Co. The other half is be-
ing replanted with old stock dried off
and cut back. There will be 35,000
Beauty plants on the benches when the
work is done. A big artesian well has
been put down a little over 300 feet
and a new water supply system is being
put in.

Everybody Busy.

The winter-blooming Spencer peas in
Henry Wehrman's south houses are a
sight, for picking ceased some days ago,
when the crop of spring bloomers be-
came so heavy it occupied all attention.
Mr. Wehrman never has had a better
season than the one now closing, the
pick having been steady and prices the
same. Preparations are now in progress
for filling the houses with mums, for
the usual autumn crop.

Walter Burhop is industriously pick-
ing sweet peas while preparing to plant
mums for a fall crop. The peas have
held out unusually well this season be-
cause of the cool weather and the pres-
ent pick is heavy.

Hugo Luedtke is one of the few
Maywood growers who has neither roses
nor sweet peas; his specialty is the old-
fashioned flowers. At present his prin-
cipal cut is double stocks that make a
sheet of snow of the benches not al-
ready emptied.

A 50-foot Heine chimney is William
Wichtendahl's spring addition. He has
his place in excellent order.

Felsch Bros., on the south side, are
busy with bedding plants, the season
having started late.

The Albert T. Hey Floral Co., in the
west end of Maywood, is having an ac-
tive retail season.

BLIGHTED NARCISSUS BUDS.

We have a clump of double narcissi,
albus plenus odoratus, which were set
outdoors in the fall of 1913, but never
have bloomed -satisfactorily. The
flowers develop partly and then drjr up.

Memorial day in the Buffalo cut
flower market will not be remembered
as a holiday of record-breaking busi-
ness or as a holiday of scarcity of stock.
Weather conditions were against the
day and more business was anticipated
in cut flowers. The sales of plants,
however, made up for it. Decorative

rial day all varieties in quantity were

The peony situation was much like that
of the carnations. Practically the en-
tire market was ruled by the large
quantity of lilac, which was substi-
tuted for other flowers. The supply of
valley fluctuates from day to day. Cat-
tleyas, as usual, were scarce. Eastern
lilies were abundant and considerable
difficulty was experienced in moving
them. Callas are gradually receding.
Baby gladioli and sweet peas enjoyed
a ready sale. Irises and yellow daisies
were in eager demand. Miscellaneous
stock did not move with much celerity.
Greens of all kinds were plentiful. The
supply of fancy ferns is smaller.

Various Notes.

F. Baum found himself more than
busy Memorial day and he cleared all
pot plants.

Miss A. A. Erckert is working early
and late filling porch boxes and urns.
Although the force has been working
overtime for the last two weeks, it
has not caught up with the orders.

The strike of the express drivers has
not had a bad effect on the Buffalo
florists, although there is some trouble
in receiving and sending shipments on
certain routes.

On visiting the greenhouses of the
city and suburban towns, I found in
many cases that there had been a com-
plete clean-up of spring stock; some-
times all orders had not been filled.

Harold Taylor, who is with John
Breitmeyer's Sons, of Detroit, was in
town June 4.

L. H. Neubeck has been busy filling
window boxes and urns. Memorial day
lie was on the jump. A. E.

NEW YORK.

The Market.

The wholesale cut flower market is
subject to the usual conditions of June
and the coming hot season. Fortunate-
ly, the spring to date has been excep-
tidnally cool, but the anticipated reac-
tion af^r Memorial day arrived prompt-
ly. Kose shipments especially increased
;iiid prices fell, even $5 per thousand
iH'ing accepted at times for the lower
prudes. June 3 was exceptionally dull,
tiie market being overwhelmed by the
prony shipments. From $1 per dozen
tiio price receded June 3 to $20 per
thousand. Many thousands are being
)!ut in cold storage daily. The quality
ou the arrivals is generally good. Car-
ji.itions find the flood of peonies and
vises too swift to stem and prices have
fallen to one-third the quotations of a
week ago; June 3 $5 to $20 per thou-
sand was the range; even the novelties
could be bought as low as $1.50 per
liundred. Lilies have fallen to 4 cents
ouch; a few touched 5 cents, but many
were sold at $3 per hundred. Valley
also is weak, owing to the great quan-
tity of the outdoor crop. Even the
l)est valley sold no higher than $3 per
liundred.

The lilac has fulfilled its mission and
ju-actically disappeared. Immense quan-
tities were sold. The street men, with
loaded carts, were much in evidence at
the end. These sidewalk merchants
will have to do their share also in the
peony distribution.

The orchid supply is ample and prices
for the best gigas do not advance. In
fact, some were sold as low as 25 cents
June 3. Last week's tulip offerings
were light, but the quality was superb.
The Spencer sweet peas were in good
demand and sold readily, but anything
off quality was unsalable. Few irises
remain. Callas are abundant and so
are daisies, gladioli, snowballs and Eam-
bler roses.

The week opened with sunshine and
cool temperature. A fine volume of
June business for the retail florists is
anticipated.

Various Notes.

The final meeting of the season for
the Florists' Club will be held June 12,
at its rooms in the Grand Opera House
building, West Twenty-third street and
Eighth avenue. Exhibits will be wel-
comed, and the essay committee
promises to have much of interest on
its program.

The field day at the establishment of
A. N. Pierson, Inc., Cromwell, Conn.,
will be held June 21. Among the in-
vitations sent out are those to the mem-
bers of the National Association of
Gardeners and the American Associa-
tion of Park Superintendents.

Gustave C. Mickley, of the Waren-
dorff force, leaves this week for Wau-
ehula, Fla., to remain until September.

Eugene J. Keenan, for eight years
with the Greater New York Florists'
Association, Brooklyn, has resigned his
position and will soon be enlisted with
one of the New York wholesalers.

Goldstein & Futterman say thev dis-
posed of over 20,000 peonies for
Memorial day.

Samuel Woodrow has the contract for
Hie decorations at the Grand Central
Palace, during the continuance of the
great bazaar in behalf of the Allies.

B. Rosens and familv and A. "Waren-

dorfif and wife again are located at their
summer homes at Averne by the Sea.

Wm. P. Ford spent June 4 at his
farm in Pennsylvania, where his peonies
are in full bloom.

The George W. Crawbuck Co. opened
its store at 57 West Twenty-eighth
street June 1 and had a busy Saturday
as an encouraging send-off. Mr. Craw-
buck and his associates are well and
favorably known in the trade.

William Kessler's rebuilt store is
complete and in the future will be de-
voted exclusively to his wholesale cut
flower trade.

The Greek-American Florists' Asso-
ciation will hold its annual outing early
in July, at College Point, L. I. A boat
has been engaged that will carry over
1,000 safely.

The showing of tulips in over 100 va-
rieties, recently seen in the display win-
dows of Stumpp & Walter Co., has at-
tracted much attention. The Darwins,
especially, have created comment and
many orders for autumn have been
booked. J. Austin Shaw.

NASHVILLE, TENN.

The Market.

Last week was a good one for the
trade here, as it was commencement
week in the schools. This is the best
flower event of the year, not considering
the regular holidays. The express
drivers' strike in Chicago incon-
venienced the trade here not a little, as
, shipments to meet the increased de-
mands were not delivered promptly. As
a result, everything worthy cleaned up,
each florist accommodating the others in
every way he could. There was a bet-
ter spirit of cooperation than ever this

spring. It is a help to all in the end.

Both the national Decoration day and
the Confederate Decoration day re-
ceived attention this year, and these,
together with the preparedness parade
June 3, helped to clear every item.

Roses are fairly plentiful now. Most
of the winter varieties have been put
to sleep for thoir summer 's rest. Rus-
sell easily holds the middle of the stage
at present and this variety will be more
largely planted this year. Carnations
are coming in freely. The quality is
better than is usual at this season.
There are a few English and Siberian
irises in the market and they sell well.
These varieties deserve more attention
from the trade, as both come late, when
there is need of flowers of their type.

This has been a great season for
outdoor roses. I have seldom seen bet-
ter stock outdoors. Bedding plants are
of the past, and as soon as the June
weddings and commencements are over
the trade can take a good nap until the
fall work starts. If summer business is
not what it should be, why does not
some one work up a business of de-
livering flowers to the various summer
resorts near the city?

Various Notes.

The Joy Floral Co. last week made
tlie largest blanket it ever executed.
It comprised roses and valley, with a
huge cross of lilies in the center.
' The Hillcrest School Farm expects
to begin digging tulip and narcissus
bulbs next week. These have ripened
earlier than usual this year.

Mclntyre Bros, say they have moved
more good boxwood this season than
(luring any other year. They have the
best lot of home-grown specimens I have
seen in the south. F. B.

Birmingham, Ala. — The stork left a
young florist at the home of Hugh
Scales last month.

Birmingham, Ala. — Harry Miles, flo-
rist for the Greene Drug Co., has ac-
quired a motor car.

Roanoke, Va. — After a month of
serious illness from typhoid fever, Frank

to be out in a few days.

Prescott, Ark. — W. T. Hart, who here-
tofore has grown vegetables for the
market, is having a try at the growing
end of the florists' business.

Greenville, Miss. — L. A. Waas is de-
veloping so good a cut flower trade
that he is preparing to equip himself
with facilities for carrying stock at all
times.

Joneshoro, Ark.— P. L. Graves, "the
largest plant and cut flower grower in
northeast Arkansas," has erected
another house, 30x140 feet. Mr. Graves
is planning for a large crop of chrysan-
themums. *_ — \

Oneco, Fla. — Reasoner Bros., who
trade as the Royal Palm Nurseries, are
busy building up retail trade. This
season they have spent nearly $8,000
in advertising in the general periodicals
circulated exclusively in the south.

Muskogee, Okla. — Two greenhouses,
each 28x186 feet, are being erected by
the Muskogee Carnation Co. When
completed, the company will have 50,-
000 square feet of glass. Robert Beeb
is the owner and his son, M. R. Beeb, a
graduate from the horticultural depart-
ment of the University of Illinois, has
charge of the greenhouses.

High Point, N. C— Frank Ford, of
Frank Ford, Flowers, has purchased five
and one-half acres of land within the
town limits, on which he will erect a
Metropolitan house 13x100 feet, an oflice
building and a residence. His other
liouse, 25x100 feet, and coldframe will
1)0 moved to the new location. "Busi-
ness has been good," says Mr. Ford,
"easily double that of the corresponding
period of last year."

DAYTON, O.

The Market.

Business Memorial day broke all
records, both in the sale of plants and
cut flowers. All the florists are wear-
ing a broad smile. The next thing is
the collection of accounts.

Peonies seem to be the favorite
flowers, the prices ranging from 75
cents to $1.50 for fancy. Carnations
are next in line. There is little demand
for roses. A good many irises and
daisies were seen in the market last
week. The cemeteries are bright with
all kinds of blooms and the cool weather
has helped to keep the stock fresh
longer than usual. Plants in vases have
a better appearance than last year at
this time.

Various Notes.

John Boehner's home is bright with
a new coat of paint. He intends to
build two houses this summer, and will
tear down two of the old ones.

WASHINGTON, D. 0.

The Market.

Business last week was good. There
were many large orders for June wed-
ding decorations and funeral work was
heavy. The market is cleaning up bet-
ter than it has in previous years. Stock
is good, considering the lateness of the
season, and prices are holding up re-
markably well. Usually at this time
of the year stock is overplentiful and
there is a slump in prices.

Among the flowers given a new lease
of life because of the cool weathef pre-
vailing up to the present week are car-
nations. The quality of these is fairly
good, although the price has dropped
to $5 per thousand in quantities, with
better prices only for selected stock.
In previous years the first week in June
found them so poor in quality that they
were without price.

There are plenty of roses of good
quality to be had. Locally produced
stock still retains its value. The roses
from the north are good and in fair
demand. Sweet peas were not offered
in the large quantities seen the previ-
ous week. They have been in good
demand for commencement decorations
and bouquets. The many weddings in-
creased the call for valley and the price
remains at $5 and $6 per hundred. A
considerable quantity of outdoor stock
is being received from Connecticut and
Rhode Island. Some of this is good
and fills in well, but a large number of
the receipts are not satisfactory. There
are plenty of cornflowers and these sell
spasmodically. Easter lilies are hang-
ing fire, with $8 and $10 per hundred
the prevailing price. There are plenty
of peonies still to be had at $4 and $6
per hundred.

Various Notes.

Mrs. Carrie Monroe, formerly of
Phoebus, Va., has opened a flower store
at 649 H street, northeast. In the Vir-
ginia town, where she operated as the
Phoebus Progressive Florist, she main-
tained three greenhouses. She sold her
store and greenhouses to B. Hayden
Smith, for fourteen years or more a
prominent undertaker of that place.

There were more than 10,000 roses
exhibited at the most successful rose

show ever held by the Brookland Eose
Society. The judges were Prof. Pur-
man L. Mulford, of the Department of
Agriculture; George W. Hess^ superin-
tendent of the United States Botanic
Gardens; I. Wessel Staalman, of Oak-
ton, Va.

«. Milton Thomas, of the Center mar-
ket,'--«tti:piised his many friends last

Thomas and his bride. "^^

A bill has been introduced in Con-
gress providing for the increase of the
area of the United States Botanic Gar-
dens, by attaching to the present gar-
dens two parcels of land nearby. The
Florists' Club of Washington, D. C,
has recently gone on record as favoring
the extension of the gardens and for
the provision therein of a fitting monu-
ment to the late William R. Smith.

teen years was associated with George
C. Shaffer, died June 1 of erysipelas.

William F. Gude is chairman of a
committee of three appointed to make
plans for Washington's preparedness
parade, to be held Flag day, June 14.
Mr. Gude and his associates called at
the White House and invited the Presi-
dent to review the parade. The Presi-
dent replied that he not only would be
glad to review the parade but also to
march in it. After this conquest the
committee decided to personally ask all
members of the Cabinet to participate
in the demonstration for national de-
fense. The Senate became Interested in
the proceedings and passed a joint reso-

We had some good old summer
weather last week, the warmest for this
time of the year for several seasons.
It has been a dry spring, with only
occasional light showers and cool days
and nights. As a result the cape jas-
mines were slow to open, not giving the
dealers enough stock to fill out-of-town
shipments for Memorial day. Three
days prior to the holiday the tempera-
ture ascended, and directly after the
day there was an abundance of cape
jasmines.

The Decoration day business was un-
usually good, clearing the market of
both plants and cut flowers, which
were in large supply for the day.
Shasta daisies now are coming in freely
and there is a good sale of them. Sweet
peas are singing their swan song for
this season and the few that arrive
are short-stemmed and faded. Outdoor
roses are replacing the greenhouse
stock. Gladioli are coming to the front
and the indications are for a good cut.

Funeral work and decorations for
school commencements were plentiful
last week and most items were well
cleaned up. G. R. L.

Tbe Market.

Mrs. Albert Bahn.

Mrs. Martha Bahn, wife of Albert
Bahn, of the Eahn & Herbert Co.,
Clackamas, Ore., has passed away. Her
illness was reported by The Eeview's
forrespondent at Portland, Ore., a few
weeks ago. Her funeral was held May
31, the date that would have been cele-
brated as her forty-third birthday, had
she lived. The funeral was largely
attended, especially by members of the
Portland Floral Society. Besides her
husband, she leaves three children, all
(f school age.

Miss A. K Wilson.

Miss A. L. Wilson, of Montgomery,
Ala., who, with her sister, conducted a
florists' business at Mildred and Pleas-
ant streets, died Memorial day. Al-
though she had been in poor health for
some time, the end came unexpectedly.
For thirty years she was a successful
grower of bulbs, selling at wholesale as
well as retail.

William L. McKay.

W. L. McKay, 61 years of age, a
prominent nurseryman of Geneva, N. Y.,
where he did a large business under the
name of Van Dusen Nursery Co., died
of heart failure on the morning of
May 25, while working on his grounds
west of the city. Mr. McKay was born
at Warsaw, N. Y., in 1855. He was a
graduate of Cornell and completed a
course in law at the University of
Michigan. In 1882 he married Miss
Edith Van Dusen, of Geneva, and
moved to Geneva to engage in the nur-
sery business. Outside of his business
interests, Mr. McKay's principal activi-
ties were in connection with the New
York militia. He enlisted as a private
in 1892 and was later made lieutenant.
During the Spanish war he served with
his company.

The deceased is survived by his wife,
two sons, who were associated with him
in the nursery business, three daughters
and three sisters.

Ctottlieb Supper.

The death June 1 of Gottlieb Supper,
who for the last fifteen years was con-
nected with the retail establishment of
George C. Shaffer, of Washington, D. C,
came as a great shock to his many
friends in the business. He had been
ill buj; a short time, suffering from ery-
sipelas, and hope had been expressed
for his recovery. Mr. Supper was born
in Germany about thirty-five years ago.
He was brought to this country by his
parents when an infant and after com-
pleting a common school education he
started in to learn the florists' busi-
ness under the tutelage of his father,
who now conducts an establishment at
Lakewood, N. J, It was from that place
that Mr. Supper went to Washington
to engage in the business. He worked
for a short time for the Washington
Florists Co. and for Henry Pflster, prior
to joining Mr. Shaffer.

Mr. Supper is survived by his wife,
Mrs. Nettie Supper, who for some time
has been employed by Mr. Shaffer. In-
terment was at Walker's Chapel, Va.

C. L. L.

Memorial day business was the best
ever. Peonies were the leaders, the
supply being 100 per cent larger than
last year. Next in demand came mixed
flowers, such as daisies, pyrethrums,
cape jasmines and other outdoor flow-
ers. Carnations were a trifle high in
price and only a few were used in boxes
of mixed flowers. The cheaper grades
of roses were in great demand and a
large quantity of pot plants was moved.
Any kind of plant with a flower on it
sold well. Wagons loaded with flower-
ing plants were to be seen at the en-
trances of all cemeteries. The excel-
lent weather and the easier financial
conditions were important factors in the
large business done. The cemeteries
were crowded. Eetailers report large
increases in business for the day. Cut
flowers now are cheap.

Various Notes.

A. F. Barbe had an unusually large
business Memorial day. He sold 5,500
peonies, besides other seasonable flow-
ers. A fine lot of geraniums in 5-inch
pots cleared at 50 cents each.

Peter Martin had 500 large lights
broken in his greenhouse by hail June 2.
There was little damage to the stock.
William Foith lost about 250 lights.
Jacob Tobler, of the Bunker Hill Green-
house, also suffered from the hail storm.
He lost about one-tenth of his glass,
but had little damage otherwise.

T. J. Noll & Co. report that Memorial
day business was far ahead of that of

any previous year. Out-of-town trade
was heavy. They will handle a large
number of Colorado carnations.

Henry Kusik & Co. disposed of more
than 50,000 peonies and large quanti-
ties of other cut stock. A car of moss
has been ordered from the north.

The Geo. M. Kellogg Flower & Plant
Co. reports having had the largest Me-
morial day business ever, even exceed-
ing the Christmas trade.

Dry goods stores sold cut flowers for
Memorial day and all report that busi-
ness this year doubled that of last year.
Many of the stores were sold out by 10
o'clock May 29.

Arthur Newell was well satisfied with
business, as his books show an increase
of forty per cent. He says he did not
have to worry about stock being fresh,
as he could get plenty at any time.

The Alpha Floral Co. reports the best
business in five years. Out-of-town
trade was heavy.

Samuel Murray's receipts for Me-
morial day established a new record.
Pot plants as well as cut flowers sold
well.

The W. L. Rock Flower Co. reports
an increase in its out-of-town orders as
well as in local sales. This concern had
more cut flowers for Memorial day than
for the same day of any of the years
it has been in business.

W. J. Barnes sold out cut stock en-
tirely by noon and had only a few pot
plants left. He is getting his green-
houses ready for pot plants and mums
for the fall.

Business across the state line was
good. All report an increase over that
of last year. W. J. B.

niiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiimiiiimiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiis;

J. V. Laver, of Erie, Pa., said Me-
morial day would surpass any of its
predecessors in the total amount of
business done. "It was good last year,
but there seemed to be a hole in the
pocket. Though the volume was there,
the profit was not," remarked Mr.
Laver.

William Honeysett flnds the tone of
the market healthy. He believes this
is the best season of the many he has
experienced at Erie.

Charles Offerle put in a strenuous
time, having some large planting orders
for JErie's principal cemetery.

The Bauer Floral Co., at Erie, had
no complaint to make and was in line
with fine stock that the late season
favored.

C. W. Zuch & Sons were cutting the
last of a profitable crop of Lettuce
Grand Rapids. "We have put Erie
on the map from a vegetable stand-
point," remarked George Zuch, in nam-
ing the various towns to which they
ship. "We really have more business
than we can properly take care of,
hence the Ijord & Burnham house going
up this summer," concluded Mr. Zuch.
The cucumber crop is promising.

J. H. Dann & Son, of Westfield,
N. Y., have been somewhat handi-
capped by wet weather. Usually some
300,000 tomato plants grown for the
local planters are disposed of before
now. They were going out lively, how-
ever, and a good Memorial day business

fattened the exchequer most satisfac-
torily.

F. E. Selkregg, of North East, Pa.,
was finishing a hasty meal when I
called. "As we journey through life,
we must live by the way sometimes,"
observed Mr. Selkregg. I left him at
the entrance of a bank, where he was
to make a deposit, and concluded that
life for him was really pleasant.

The Tong & Weeks Floral Co., of
Ashtabula, O., is experiencing a good
run of funeral work. Herbert Toag,
well known to many in the trade as the *
superintendent for many years of the
Frontier Farm, at Erie, Pa., now is
enjoying the fruits of his labors in a
semi-independent way. He says he
cannot relinquish the reins entirely.

C. Merkel & Son, of Mentor, O., are
adding 75,000 feet of glass, to ac-
commodate the stock for an increasing
demand. This range is intended for
carnations and roses, the older range
to be used for pot plants, cyclamens to
figure prominently.

Carl Hagenburger, of Mentor, made
an important improvement at his range
last fall and is much pleased with
the advantage gained. A fine lot of
Nephrolepis Bostoniensis and N. Teddy,
Jr., was noted, as well as a double
pink geranium, Mrs. Barney. Mr.
Hagenburger says ' this variety is as
free as S. A. Nutt. It is not a new
variety, but is not so well known as it
deserves to be. W. M.

The hustlers of Houston are keeping
the trade well supplied with the printed
matter the south Texas boosters do so
well. If northern florists do not invade
Texas during August it wiU be no fault
of the publicity men.

As usually is the case, the later the sea-
son becomes the more abundant bedding
stock seems to be. The reason is that
many growers always are behind and
have quantities of stock that becomes
ready after the demand has begun to
wane.

It seems apparent that the closing of
the English market for bulbs and plants,
of whatever foreign origin, will have the
effect of insuring a large supply for
America. The only difficulty in getting
plenty of good stock this autumn doubt-
less will lie in transportation.

The replanting of roses is practically
finished for the season and there is only
a small quantity of surplus young stock
for the late buyers. The fact seems to
be that the rose markets were so insatia-
ble during the winter that those who gen-
erally grow considerable quantities of
young stock for the trade this season did
not care to sacrifice the usual number of
flowers to obtain wood.

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.
Blank, Charles, Orange, N. J.
THREE YEARS.
TempUn, S. C, Garrettsvllle, O.

TWO YEARS.
MlUigan, A. D., Springfield, Mo.
Hartman, A. C, Las Animas, Colo.
Bentzen Floral Co., St. Louis, Mo.
Purnell, W. Z., Snow Hill. Md.
Herrick, W. D., Downers Grove, 111.

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.

NEXT NATIONAL SHOW.

No action has as yet been taken by
the National Flower Show committee of
the S. A. F. with regard tp the loca-
tion and date of the fifth exhibition.
If the new exhibition building at Cleve-
land will be finished so that the S. A. F.
can open it with either a spring or a
fall show, the opportunity will be em-
braced, but at Cleveland it is as yet
impossible to say when the building
will be ready. The success of the open-
ing attraction is almost a foregone con-
clusion.

WANTED— OPINIONS.

William F. Gude, the energetic Wash-
ington, D. C, representative of the
S. A. F., whose difficult duty it is to
keep a keen eye on all congressional
or federal legislative matters touching
the trade, reports that a joint resolu-
tion was introduced in Congress June 1
for the purpose of making the mountain
laurel the national flower of the United
States. The bill was introduced by Con-
gressman Stephens, of Tennessee. Is
this not a matter in which the national
body should have a sayf Mr. Gude
iloes not want to commit himself one
way or another until he has an expres-
sion from the society. What is your
opinion?

WHAT IS A FLORIST?

The question who, what or which is
a florist at last seems likely to have a
legal answer in Pennsylvania. It is a
question many have sought in vain to
cover with an inflexible rule, especially
those who make an effort to grant
trade prices only to bona fide members
of the trade. The U. S. government,
in taking the last census, counted as
florists those who derived not less than
twenty per cent of their annual income
from the production of florists' stock,
but this definition obviously will not
suffice for business purposes. The
sellers' rule most commonly applied is
anyone who buys in trade quantities,
an easy rule to apply, but not exact.
The Review, in its efforts to limit its
circulation, classes as in the trade
those who grow to sell, those who buy
to sell again, and those who work for
wages at growing or selling, an elastic
rule, but more exact than any other
yet found.

But the courts of Pennsylvania will
have to decide, because the State Work-
men's Compensation Board, after long
deliberation, has given it up. Under
the compensation law it is necessary

to know what is a farmer, a florist a
nurseryman. A ruling by the board
did not exempt from the provisions
of the act those engaged "in the busi-
ness of fruit growing, poultry and stock
raising, dairying and horticulture
(which includes floriculture), as a busi-
ness and not merely as incidental to
general farming." This rule now has
been abrogated and the courts asked
to decide.

LESSONS OF MEMORIAL DAY.

An observer of conditions as they
developed during the last few days of
May can not fail to draw certain con-
clusions:

In the first place, the sources of sup-
ply have developed to the point where
no general scarcity of stock is possible
at this season except under most un-
usual circumstances. Many peony crops
usually on the market for Memorial day
were a few days late this year, but
there were enough other flowers so
that general 'conditions were not great-
ly affected.

In the second place, it is dangerous
to attempt to hold stock back at this
season. The only chance for old flow-
ers to realize more than they would if
marketed while fresh is in case of a
general scarcity. As ^no general scar-
city ever again is likely to appear at
Memorial day, the reason for holding
stock disappears. Also, more often
than not there is a hot wave in the
last days of May. Even if of short
duration it ruins the held-back flowers,
especially carnations. Therefore, while
there is no longer any chance of profit
by holding for Memorial day, there is
excellent chance of complete loss.

In the third place, high prices are
out of the question at Memorial day;
they restrain trade, and restraint of
trade everywhere is recognized as bad,
except perhaps by the man who is do-
ing the restraining — he has the dollar
so close to his eye he can not see what
is beyond. The needs of the markets
at Memorial day are best illustrated by
the general report as to roses; the
prices of the best grades fell while the
lower grades were advancing; short
roses made comparatively better prices
than long ones.

OHICAOO.

Tbe Market.

With the passing of the holidays,
there is a marked cessation of activity
on the market. Lt)cal buying is light,
but the volume of s*hipping orders is
holding up remarkably well. To be
sure, weather conditions have some
bearing on the situation, for though
last week ended in perfect weather,
the early part of the present week was
none too conducive to a large city trade.

There has been a strong demand for
really good Beauties throughout the
week, but first-class stock has been de-
cidedly scarce. Of unqualifiedly poor
stock there has been an abundance, but
hope is seen in the increasing receipts
of young Beauties. The demand for
other roses is limited to the best grades.
Cheap, short-stemmed stock meets with
little or no call. Poor stock is over-
abundant and is moved with great diffi-
culty. Perhaps the one exception to
the general conditions, both as to qual-
ity and demand, is Russell, but the sup-
ply is smaller than it was and the color
is off with some growers.

We Offer You Fine
Russell in Quantity

UT RUSSELL is not the only good Rose for
which we are the largest source of supply —
Ophelia, for instance. Order some of it; your
customers will come for more. And then there
are Brilliant, Ward, Sunburst, Milady, White Killarney and
Killarney — we have excellent June crops of each.

CARNATIONS

Our Crops Are Heavy

The quality of this crop of Carnations is unusually good for
this time of year — weather conditions have been favorable. Our
supply now is so heavy we can quote the lowest prices of the sea-
son— low prices when you consider the high quality of the. stock.

PEONIES

$3.00 to $6.00 per 100

There is, perhaps, greater difference in the value of Peonies
than in any other flower. Given the right varieties, grown and
shipped by men who know how, there is nothing that makes a bet-
ter show for the money; but if from men who never learned the
"how," Peonies are likely to be absolutely worthless by the time the
retailer unpacks them.

Our Peonies are RIGHT in every particular — you'll make good
money on them in your June Wedding and Commencement work.

SPENCER SWEET PEAS

We are headquarters for the best grade of Sweet Peas— a large supply-
in all colors. They are the leading corsage flower of the month.

Carnations at last have hit the to-
boggan. There is a large increase in
the production and much of the supply
is exceptionally good for the time of
year, so that poor stock sells at much
the lowest prices of the season, as there
is enough first-class stock to go around.

Cattleyas and valley again find them-
selves alone on the short side of the
market. Easter lilies are coming into
the market in increasing numbers and,
considering general conditions, are
meeting with a fair demand. Callas ap-
pear to be about done. Sweet peas are
plentiful, but, broadly speaking, qual-
ity is not altogether satisfactory, as
the close of the season is approaching.
There are quite a few daisies and snap-
dragons on the market and, though not
clearing, they are moving remarkably
well. The supply of Spanish irises is
more than sufficient to meet the de-
mand. Comparatively few gladioli are
in the market, but these move readily
enough.

Peonies of any desired quality, color
or kind may be had in any quantity.
Many of the crops that were too late
for Memorial day are now coming into
the market. Locally grown stock is
adding its bulk to the already large
volume. The stock that is in condition
to hold is going into cold storage. Gar-
denias are receding into the back-
ground. There are plenty of cape jas-
mines and the quality is unusually good,
but they have not been meeting with
the demand some dealers anticipated
for them. Candytuft has sold well.

New ferns are beginning to arrive;
otherwise the green goods situation is
little changed.

ice is working so smoothly that Man-
ager Fred Lautenschlager scarcely gets
the credit that is due him for it. There
seems to be no change in the strike
situation, with no prospect that the
wholesalers can give up their cartage
service and depend on the express
companies.

As an incident showing how busi-
ness has grown, Mr. Lautenschlager
managed a similar strike service for the
wholesalers from April 29 to June 4,
1905, thirty-seven days. The present
strike had been in progress only fifteen
days at June 1, but in that time the
number of boxes handled considerably
exceeded the number handled in the
entire time of the first strike. As the
time of the year was the same, it ap-
pears the shipping business of the mar-
ket must be about three times as great
as it was in 1905.

As the police admitted no teams to
the loop district after 9 a. m., June 3,
Preparedness day, the cartage service

was suspended and nearly all whole-
salers closed by noon.

- The Weather of May.

The weather of May always is im-
portant, both in the producing and the
selling end of the business. Cool
weather holds quality in the stock and
keeps the supply within bounds. This
year the daily average temperature was
nearly 3 degrees above normal and 5
degrees above last year. The hot wave
May 26, 90 degrees, was just at the
wrong time, but, fortunately, did not
last. The percentage of sunshine, fifty-
eight, was six points below normal, but
the rainfall, 2.93 inches, was slightly
less than normal and growers would
welcome moisture for their stock in the
fields.

and, now that the snaps are gone, there
is a special crop of forced Gladiolus
Myrtle, the first of this variety for
the season.

An Overland truck, recently added to
the equipment of the National Plant &
Flower Co., S. Freund manager, has
proved of great assistance in handling
the spring plant trade.

At the Wietor establishment rose
planting is well along, several houses
have been planted with mums and con-
siderable quantities of carnations have
been benched. This is one of the places
where excellent results have followed
growing carnations indoors all summer.

The express companies still are los-
ing considerable quantities of peonies,
report Erne & Klingel, who say the
trouble seems to lie with the freight-
house men, who bury the boxes under
non-perishable shipments.

May held many handicaps for the
market, but the E. C. Amling Co. re-
ports sales exceeding the best previous
May record by $11,400.

It is the opinion of A. T. Pyfer that
practically all carnation growers have
cut less flowers this season than usual,
but that the average price for the sea-
son has been the best ever. There have
been no cleanup sales at a few cents
per bunch, to pull the average down.

Downtown Chicago has more window
boxes this season than ever before, pos-
sibly due to encouragement by the Asso-
ciation of Commerce. In most cases the
Illinois self -watering box has been used.

Young rose stock has sold unusually
well this year, according to Emil Eeich-
ling, who says the plants grown beyond
Peter Reinberg's own needs are prac-
tically all sold at this early date.

L. H. Winterson recently severed his
connection with Winterson 's Seed Store
to go into the real estate business on
the northwest side. The firm is Winter-
son & Co., 4636 North Francisco avenue.

W. S. Gilbert, at Glen EUyn, has had,
and still is having, for that matter, a
most successful season. His specialty
is sweet peas, but he also has done un-
usually well with pansies and daisies.

Peter Pearson is preparing to fill
some of his vacant space with mums,
principally the Chieftain varieties. He
has had an excellent spring season.

This is the forty-fourth year of Fred
Kanst's connection with the south
parks. And the parks never looked bet-
ter than they do this spring.

Victor Young believes in advertising
and has demonstrated to his own satis-
faction that a well dressed window is
well worth while. Consequently the
window of Victor Young & Co. always
is up to the minute and attracts much
attention. Large Grecian columns of
terra cotta occupy the background and
make an ideal setting for plants and
cut flowers.

The marriage of S. Y. Bloom, 822
East Sixty-third street, and Miss Alta
Ijevy will take place June 18.

The lure of California proved too
strong for Mrs. E. L. Horton, of Bas-
sett & Washburn, and she started west

day business is reported by C. Frauen-

The Idarket.

Business last week was all that could
be desired. Peonies were not in time
for Memorial day, but other flowers
were plentiful and in good demand.
Carnations were not in oversupply and
prices held high fbr this time of the
year. Eoses were sufficient for require-
ments. Those who had a good supply

of outdoor flowers found a ready mar-
ket. As usual, one of the features of
the Memorial day business was the
large demand for flowers to decorate
the graves in the cemeteries. This is
becoming more general every year and
florists had many out-of-town shipments
for this purpose. Even people in mod-
erate circumstances now buy flowers to
decorate the graves of their departed.
Bedding stock, window boxes and
baskets still are in big demand, owing
to the backward spring, and florists are
riished to the limit of endurance. They
will be glad when the rush is over, so
that other necessary work may be at-
tended to.

lot of sweet peas of extra quality, for

The Market.

Summer, although somewhat belated,
is with us at last and the warm, bright
weather has knocked the bottom out of
the market. Stock in general is good,
but prices are down to normal and be-
low. Carnations are in good shape and
the cut is large enough so that selec-
tion may be made on all orders. Sweet
peas are good and are selling well.

Boses are having a good sale and the
supply is more than sufficient to take
care of the demand. Some exception-
ally fine stock is seen on the market,
but it is bringing only fair prices. The
market is long on lilies and they are
moving only fairly well. The crop of
outdoor peonies from this vicinity will
soon be in and other outdoor stock is
coming along nicely. This, of course,
will have a tendency to make business
more quiet, and from now on there will
not be much doing in the cut flower
line.

Spring stock continues to move well
and this month should still show some
good results in that end of the business.
The supply of orchids has increased
materially and they are to be had at
reasonable prices for wedding decora-
tions, which, of course, are numerous
this month. The demand for funeral
designs was large last week and the
retail trade has been busy with this
kind of work. Vacations seem to be
the main topic of conversation and each
one is planning his or her holiday with
much fervor.

The Market.

The wet weather undoubtedly is re-

has been disagreeable and business in
all ways has been much affected. A
large quantity of outdoor work still
remains to be done, but the ground is
thoroughly water-soaked. The planting
season has been much hindered.

There is an immense quantity of cut
flowers in the market and the sales are
not at all brisk. Prices consequently

of good size, but they do not move fast.
Calla and Easter lilies are in fine con-
dition and sell well. • The demand for
valley is about as usual for this time of
the year and the quality is quite good.
Orchids are quite plentiful, but do not
move readily. The supply of roses
is satisfactory, and meets all demands.
American Beauties are not extra good,
but then there is no large demand for
them. Maryland, Sunburst, Ward,
Taft, Kaiserin and the Killarneys seem
to have a steady sale. Outdoor peonies
are coming in slowly. There is a pro-
fusion of yellow, white and purple
irises, which move fairly well. There
was no great call for snapdragons dur-
ing the last week or so. Some fine
America gladioli and baby types ar-
rive daily and sell nicely. Good mari-
golds reach us daily. Wallflowers move
somewhat slowly, but lemon lilies and
lilacs sell well. Some extra good hy-
drangeas and Boston ferns are seen at
the wholesale houses.

The Market.

Peonies broke the market the first
week in June. They arrived in such
tremendous numbers that the moderate
call for them was wholly inadequate.
They simply overwhelmed everywhere,
broke the market and left it so weak
that all flowers were badly depressed. It
mattered little whether Pajonia festiva
maxima, the smaller, but better-keep-
ing, snow white or any of the best pink
varieties were offered; they sold at
ridiculously low prices if at all. Many
were put in cold storage; many were
left in the boxes; many were left on
the plants. The wholesalers advised
the growers of the bad conditions and
requested that shipments cease for the
present. This deplorable condition,
which caused heavy financial loss, was
directly due to the late season. When
peonies pay, half the crop is marketed
by Memorial day. This season hardly

any of the local peonies arrived until
June.

Beauties, orchids and valley have
been in demand for weddings and com-
mencements. They have brought ex-
cellent prices for the season; other
flowers have been badly depressed by
the surfeit of peonies, excepting the
finer grades of roses, which are none
too plentiful. A few Hadley, Russell,
Maryland and Kaiserin roses have been
in demand. Sweet peas were overdone;
those grown in violet houses or in cold-

frames are preferred. Iris is about
over. There are some nice pyrethrum
daisies. Good judges agree that, except
for some choice varieties or high-grade
flowers, the market is unlikely to re-
cover for some time to come. There are
enough peonies in cold storage to last
a long while, although the height of
the local crop has been reached.

noon and evening of June 3, when the
Natural History Club of Lansdowne
gave its seventh annual exhibition of
roses and outdoor flowers. The club
house is particularly well adapted to a
flower show. The hall is light and well
proportioned, large enough to hold a
good-sized show without crowding and
to set it off advantageously. A dark
red curtain at the rear of the stage made
an effective background for the peonies
and the non-competitive long-stemmed
roses and daisies that were used for
decorative effect. From it, to the right
and to the left of the stage, ran long
tables filled with roses and outdoor
flowers in the competitive classes, while
in the center were tastefully arranged
small tables with individual exhibits
of miscellaneous flowers.

It was surprising how large and how
fine a show could be held so early in
the season — not so early on the calen-
dar, but so early in the flowering sea-
son outdoors. It really seemed that
everything was in perfection, though

the critical noticed the green straw-
berries among their riper fellows and
the tendency toward what might be
described as buddiness in the peonies.
The rose exhibit for the American Kose
Society's silver medal brought out four
entries in the class for twelve hybrid
tea roses. They were four good entries,
all well staged and named.
Dr. Kobert G. Huey carried off the

medal. The handle baskets were a
pleasing novelty. The fair exhibitors
made excellent use of garden material
in these pretty receptacles. The table
devoted to children's flowers, mostly
wild flowers, was interesting. Competi-

in arrangement. In striking contrast
to the wild flowers was a handsome
exhibit of Cattleya Mossiae opposite,
safeguarded by two cautioners. Mrs.
Morton Bunting displayed a well ar-
ranged table of peonies, larkspurs,
irises, etc., which showed great taste.
A bank of shrubbery on one side and a
gorgeous vase of oriental poppies on
the other were in striking contrast.
The charm of the Lansdowne show 'v^as
enhanced by the total absence of com-
mercialism. It is an amateur's show
pure and simple, made possible by gen-
uine enthusiasm on the part of the
members.

The attendance was small at the
opening, owing to the counter attrac-
tion of a wedding in the square above,
but when the wedding was over the
smart set filled the flower show in all
their finery, and by the time the clos-
ing hour arrived the hall was as crowd-
ed as could be. Great credit is due
Samuel S. Pennock for his hard work in
promoting and managing the show. The
judges were Elizabeth K. Allen, W. M.
Thompson, W. H. Brown, Robert Pyle
and Casper Pennock.

Topic of the Hour.

There is a serious condition confront-
ing nearly every florist today. It is
how to get done on time the heavy
work that usually comes at this season.
The difficulty lies in the fact that the
munition factories are offering such at-
tractive pay for making their war sup-
plies that the greenhouse establish-
ments, in common with other indus-
tries, have suffered from the competi-
tion. Everywhere we hear the cry,
"We are short of men." It is gen-
erally conceded that legitimate busi-
ness cannot compete with the prices
offered by these munition plants, yet
the work in the greenhouses must be
done if this business is to be carried
on successfully. How to do it is the
question. Difficult as the situation is
today, it is much better than it was
a year ago. Then business was bad and
our product did not bring satisfactory
prices. Today business is good, in the
main, and we can reasonably expect
that it will continue so for some time

Eobert J. Gilmore was awarded dam-

How Much are Dead
Flowers Worth?

There is no market for them except the

garbage can. And that means not only loss of

sales and profits, but it represents money out,

because you must pay for your stock whether

you sell it or throw it away.

If you could realize on all the blossoms that now
wither in stock and are discarded, think how much
your profits would increase by stopping this loss. And
at no additional overhead or expense.

You can do it with a

McCray Florists
Refrigerator

The McCray patented system of refrigeration pro-
vides for a cool, even temperature and keeps your
flowers fresh and salable, preventing loss from with-
ered stock. ' * ^

The McCray Florist Refrigerators come with plate
glass doors and sides which show the flowers attrac-
tively. The different compartments vary in size to
accommodate the various lengths of stems.

The woodwork of the McCray may be had in any
finish to match your store's interior decoration. The
linings may be had in either bevel plate mirror or
white enamel, are handsome and easy to clean.

BALTIMOBE.

The Market.

Business conditions since Memorial
day have been rather poor. There has
been practically an unlimited supply of
stock and prices have reached a low
level. Large receipts of peonies and
other outdoor stock have augmented the
supply far in excess of the quantity ac-
tually needed. Roses are overplentiful
and can be purchased in many instances
at buyers' figures. Carnations have
receded in price, although they are of
good quality, considering the warm,
clear days. Spanish irises, roses and
peonies form the bulk of the out-
door stock, which of necessity must be
low-priced to sell at all. The street
boys have been handling large quanti-
ties of cut flowers at ridiculously low

prices.

Various Notes.

Edwin A. Seidewitz, as reward for
his efforts, was elected president of the
local Rotary Club at its annual meet-
ing and banqtiet in the Rennert hotel
last week.

P. Campbell Erdman has been cutting
quantities of greenhouse-grown gladioli
of good quality and reports a heavy de-
mand for garden roses, of which he has
made a specialty this season.

George H. Cook had a heavy cut of
good peonies for the Memorial day
trade.

Max Fierstein, of the Moore Seed Co.,
Philadelphia, was a caller last week.

Edward Kress was one of the judges
of the exhibits of the flower show given
by the Green Spring Valley Garden
Club last week.

The first annual amateur rose show,
given under the joint auspices of the
Women's Civic League and the Gar-
deners' and Florists' Club of Baltimore,
was held June 5, from 2 until 10 p. m.,
in the club rooms in the Florists' Ex-
«hange hall. The affair was promoted
on rather short notice and those in
charge deserve great credit for the
showing made. I. H. Moss, George
Morrison, Stevenson Bros, and Fred C.
Bauer, among other florists, staged
many non-competitive exhibits.

him and the would-be bandit fired twice
point-blank, but luckily missed both
times. He then darted out of the
store and, upon being pursued by police-
men, he kept up a running pistol duel
until finally cornered about ten blocks
from the scene of the attempted hold-

to his bad markmanship and not to
the lack of bullets fired. The police

The Market.

Since Memorial day, business has
been much more quiet, though not more
so than had been expected. There is
a good deal of social activity, but for
this an abundance of fine outdoor flow-
ers are now obtainable. Weddings are
numerous and will come more thickly as
the month advances. Taken all in all,
trade is not bad and the outlook for
good June business is most encourag-
ing. Eoses have dropped sharply in
value. The best sellers are Ophelia,
Ward, Double White Killarney, Russell
and Shawyer. Red varieties are harder
to sell and tliere is an overplus of short-
stemmed white flowers. Carnations con-
tinue of midwinter quality, thanks to
cool nights and the absence of excessive
heat. The prices are about half those
prevailing for Memorial day.

Sweet peas are abundant, but sell
fairly well. Yellow marguerites are in-
clined to be druggy. Snapdragons are
of poorer quality and there are few
calls for them. Darwin tulips and some
double white narcissi appeared as late
as June 5. Darwins never before sold
in such quantities here. Fine outdoor
valley is still available, but this'week
will finish it. For belated Memorial
day crops, such as stocks, feverfew,
candytuft, etc., there is hardly any de-
mand. Lilies are much lower in price.
Callas are practically over. Gladiolus
Peach Blossom and Spanish iris are in
heavy supply and hard to sell.

Cattleyas are going slowly. Gar-
denias are getting scarce. Local single

Various Notes.

William Lefeber, New Castle, N. H.,
is one of the largest shippers of Peach
Blossom gladioli and Spanish iris to the
local wholesale market. He has been
in business only a year, but grows ex-
cellent stock.

Norris F. Comley, of Lexington, says
his Memorial day trade was excellent.
He had a large house of candytuft in
prime condition and another of fever-
few. May 25 he started to pick from
two late houses of sweet peas. His
stocks made excellent money for Me-
morial day. He has some houses of
Terrace Hall and Comet tomatoes which

will soon start to ripen. The first
named proves much the better here.
Several houses are devoted to cucum-
bers. Those in beds sterilized with
hot water, nearly boiling, show a vast
improvement over those not similarly
treated.

Owing to the lateness of the season,
the annual peony and rhododendron
show of the Massachusetts Horticultural
Society, scheduled for June 10 and 11,
has been postponed to June 17 and 18.
Tree peonies are now in bloom. Some
singles are open, but the main crop of
doubles will not be well open before
the middle of the month. Thanks to
abundant rains and cool nights, peonies,
like all other perennials, are luxuriant
in growth.

Carnation Miss Theo, the new deep
pink variety of [Littlefield & Wyman,
is not of the largest size, but takes well
commercially here and proves to be a
splendid shipper. Patrick Welch says
no other variety has shipped to Cana-
dian points so well as Miss Theo, and
P. W. ought to know something about
shipping.

The Boston Florists' Bowling Asso-
ciation will hold its first annual outing
about the time June weddings have
ceased. They have not yet decided
whether it will be on land or water, but
most probably the latter, as some of
the bowlers are noted fishermen.

Bulb specialists all agree that last
season was a most excellent one.
Thanks to cool weather, the season was

longer than usual. Darwin tulips have
proved good sellers. Those from out-
doors sell much better than the forced
ones, which are not regarded as extra
profitable.

S. J. Goddard continues to ship in
quantities of carnations of midwinter
quality. His young plants in the field
are doing finely. His Memorial day
trade was exceptionally heavy.

William H. Ward, of Montvale, in
addition to his usual crops of carna-
tions, forget-me-nots, etc., is cutting the
finest Gladiolus The Bride I have seen
in a long time. This makes a splendid
flower for brides' bouquets.

In order to get the regular business
finished in good season, the meeting of
the Gardeners' and Florists' Club June
20 will commence at 7:30 instead of 8
p.- m., in order that there may be a
longer evening for entertainment and
dancing. Tickets can now be had from
all officers and from members of the
executive committee.

Patrick Welch had a splendid Me-
morial day business, his shipping trade
being large. He now has a fine lot of
peonies, valley, roses, orchids and other
seasonable flowers.

Late reports on Memorial day busi-
ness are that it was the best Boston
ever had. Almost every cut flower sold
well and the artificial wreaths went in
thousands. Some retailers had a con-
siderable surplus, but the demand was
remarkably heavy.

OF "THE FLOWERS"
939 Suporior St., TOLEDO, OHIO

March, 1917, has plans for a large June
show the same year, which will prob-
ably be held in marquees. Ehododen-
drons will be made a great feature, as
they were at a similar show on Boston
Common in the early seventies.

Penn is running attractive ads of
his wedding bouquets in the rotogravure
sections of the Sunday papers. He has
an unusually large number of wedding
orders for the present month.

May, while it seemed a damp and
cool month, only gave us 2.35 inches of
precipitation, or .65 below normal. The
mean temperature was given as 2 de-
grees above normal, but we had only
eleven clear days during the month.

ST. LOUIS.

The Market.

Last week's business, which included
that of Memorial day, was good. There
was plenty of stock on hand at the five
wholesale houses to supply all wants for
Memorial day. The retailers report
that the general run of trade for Me-
morial day fell short of that of last
year. Shipping orders to the surround-
ing towns were large and helped great-
ly to reduce the surplus stock on hand.
The retailers say that prices asked by
the wholesalers were too high for this
day and that the suddenly high prices
on flower days spoil a great many sales
of cut flowers.

The stores handling plants report a
splendid business in this line and they
cleaned up long before noon Memorial
day. The market afforded nearly every-
thing in season all week. The big glut
was in peonies, cape jasmines and car-
nations. Koses, too, were in heavy sup-
ply and demand. Sweet peas are not
so plentiful as a week ago. An abun-
dance of gladioli is expected from now
on. Valley has a large demand and
lilies are scarce. There are plenty of
snapdragons. Greens are in good
supply.

June 2, between the hours of 8 and 9
a. m. The hail was accompanied by a
heavy wind and rain. After the storm
was over it was found that the south
end florists again were the great suffer-
ers, but they were not alone this time.
Kij-kwood and Webster Groves, in the
county, suffered great losses, and in
some cases not a good pane of glass
could be found. In the south end they
had hardly gotten over their shock of
ten days ago; some had already repaired
their damage. Among these were
John Held, Meier Bros, and W. H.
Kruse. Their loss this time is even
greater than before. Frank Fillmore
and William Schray & Sons lost what
was left by the last storm. John M.
Walther and Charles Beyer also suffered
loss. 'Benjamin Albers, in the extreme
southern part, lost heavily, also John
Knoll and Emil Loewman.

The Bourdet Floral Co. and the Mis-
souri Botanical Garden were caught
this time with quite heavy losses. The
greatest loss was sustained by H. J.
Weber & Sons, George B. Windier and
all the market gardeners and cemeteries
who had more or less glass. In Kirk-
wood W, A. Rowe's loss will reach
eighty per cent. Others suffering dam-
age from the storm were A. S. Cerny,
Oscar May, W. J. Pilcher, F. Ude &
Son, Wm. Winter, Oakland Floral Co.,
Deutschmann Bros., W. J. Edwards,
Philip Goebel, Jr., A. F. Kopp, Hart-
man Bros., Hugo Gross, Frank Venne-
mann, L. Armstrong, Charles Meyer and
H. Meier. At Webster Groves the
Connon Floral Co, lost more than one-
half of its glass, as did Joseph Hauser.
At Old Orchard John Steinicke lost
heavily.

BROOKLYN, N.Y.

The loss of the glass alone in Kirk-
wood and Webster Groves will reach
nearly 100,000 feet, with over half of
this insured by the Florists' Hail Asso-
ciation. Together with the loss of the
city florists, it should amount to 60,000
to 75,000 feet more. The damage of
the county florists was not only to the
glass, but also to field stock, which
was beaten down and broken off by the
heavy wind, especially the gladioli and
carnations. The heavy crop of gladioli
expected this summer now will be
greatly reduced. According to the
daily press of today, the loss from the
storm in the city will reach $100,000.

Various Notes.

The five wholesale houses have agreed
to keep open doors until 5 p. m. Satur-
days this summer and to remain closed
Sundays, as usual. Beginning June 12,
from 12 o'clock until 5 p. m., they will
make no deliveries of goods, this rule
only to be in force until September 16.

T. Pfister, of New York, called on
the trade last week, taking orders for
natural preserved butterflies for floral
use. Mr. Pfister says his novelty has
taken a good hold with the florists.

From the reports of the local florists,
Memorial day business was not so good
as expected, but some report quite a
large business, especially the plants-
men, who say that business was heavier
than usual for this day.

Fred H. Meinhardt, state vice-presi-
dent of the S. A. F. for eastern Mis-
souri, says now that the biggest part of
the planting rush is over, he will get
at the duties of his office. Any florist
wishing to become a member of the
society should advise Mr. Meinhardt.

The W. C. Smith Wholesale Floral
Co. reports a splendid run of business
for Memorial day and had a steady de-
mand for cut flowers from Monday on.
Paddy Patton is over head and ears in
work in the supply department,

50 years' exi>erience in the florist bushiess guarantees
efficiency to take care of all orders. 20 per cent allowed

Seedsmen say they expect quite a
large party to attend the meeting of
the American Seed Trade Association,
which will hold its thirty-fourth annual

According to the reports of the leaders,
this was a most prosperous season.

Count von Hoffman, head of George
Waldbart's force, says they put in a
busy week with large funeral orders.
A number of big weddings are booked
for this month.

Joseph Matter has moved from "Wat-
son road to Walton and Olive streets,
at Clayton, Mo., where he has a splen-
didly equipped nursery. Mr. Matter re-
ports a good demand for landscape gar-
dening work this season.

W. W. Ohlweiler, general manager of
the Missouri Botanical Garden, recently
addressed the Lindell Boulevard Im-
provement Association on "Flowering
Plants for St. Louis."

George Angermueller says this year's
Memorial day shipping business was the
largest he ever had in cut flowers and
supplies. It kept his working force
busy packing long after working hours.

David Geddis, head of Vandervoort 's
floral department, says his big force
had all they could do to handle the
Memorial day trade. All plants had a
heavy call this year.

William Ossick, of Smith's wholesale
house, has sold his car and contemplates
the purchase of a Studebaker pleasure
car in the near fiittlre, so that he will
be in position to throw a little dust at

ular monthly conference June 2, and
prepared a suitable program for the
club 's thirtieth anniversary meeting
this week, which will be held at W. J.
Pilcher's place in Kirkwood.

A man posing as a revenue agent
collected quite a sum of money from
florists of St. Louis, by showing a badge
as special internal revenue collector.
He collected $1.25 on each automobile,
as a special war tax ordered by the
government. After collecting $2.50
from H. Young & Son, on Maryland
avenue, he asked the way to the Sanders
Nurseries. Mr. Young became sus-
picious and followed him to the C. C.
Sanders place, where he called a po-
liceman and had the crook arrested.
Afterward it was learned that he had
duped many florists throughout the city.

are arriving in quantity, particularly
the white and yellow varieties. Gla-
dioli are more plentiful than a week ago
and, while there is not a great variety
as yet, they are well received by the
public. Carnations are plentiful and
low-priced.

Sweet peas are abundant and there is
a greater variety than at any other
time this season. They are of fine
quality and quantities are sold at low
prices. Poppies have made their ap-
pearance. Thousands of baskets of
pansies have been sold, but they are
giving way to other flowers and plants.
A considerable number of potted
begonia plants are offered and there
continues to be a good sale of potted
geraniums. Fern baskets and porch
baskets are selling quite well. There
is a greater variety of hardy rose plants
in bloom, the rambler roses having for
the most part disappeared. Cosmos,
carnations, fuchsias, cannas and many
other plants for bedding purposes are
abundant. Arbor-vitse, boxwood and
other shrubs are offered.

Fred P. Wolfinger has had much
funeral and wedding work of late.
Transient trade has held up well, con-
sidering the lateness of the season.

Philips Bros, report business un-
usually good, the month of May being

business. Large funerals helped to
swell the total.

Henry A. Strobell had the decora-
tions at the new Robert Treat hotel
when Roosevelt visited the city last
week. Because of the limited number
of guests, the ballroom was reduced
one-third in size by palms, ferns, etc.

Peter Penek reports that business
continues good.

The name of the florists ' business con-
ducted at 435 Vose avenue, South
Orange, Rogers ' Floral Shop, has been
changed to Rogers & Pierson. C. T.
Pierson is in charge of the store.

The S. A. Rogers Nursery Co. re-
ports business as being good. This
spring the company has planted more
stock at its new nurseries at Liberty
Corners.

June 2 was floral day at the in-
dustrial exposition in the First Regi-
ment armory," held in connection with
Newark's anniversary celebration. The
various exhibitors decorated their
booths with flowers in honor of the day.

A flower show will be given June 15
by the home office of the Prudential
Insurance Co.

The window of August Begerow, dur-
ing the last two weeks, has attracted
much attention. It was a representa-
tion of "Port Newark, Past and Pres-
ent." Part of the window represented
the landing of Robert Treat and other
founders of Newark, with Indians
watching from a distance. The rest of
the window represented the new Port
Newark terminal development, with
great wharves at which are docked
large vessels. There were miniature
storehouses, railroads, factory build-
ings, etc. R. B. M.

Pacific Coast Department

"The city of Los Angeles has just
brought into bloom the largest man-made
wild flower garden in the world. Accord-
ing to the press agent einployed by the
Chamber of Commerce, it comprises near-
ly five acres in Exposition park, close to
the business district, and contains 230 ex-
amples of wild plant life of California.
The display is so complete that it is used
by the schools in horticultural class work.
The cost was $5,000, borne by the county.

SAN FRANCISCO.

The lAarket.

Memorial day business, taken as a
whole, was satisfactory. Flowers were
plentiful, but the demand was suflScient-
ly brisk to move practically everything,
at fairly firm prices. The downtown
stores did not come in for a large share
of the business, as a number of stands
were maintained near the cemeteries,
and people were not inclined to go
downtown for flowers when they could
buy good stock at the cematery gates.

June promises to be a record-break-
ing month as far as the sale of flowers
for weddings, commencements, etc., is
concerned. There have been restric-
tions at the city schools for some time
regarding the giving of flowers to grad-
uates, but the ban has been lifted this
season and the florists are taking full
advantage of the opportunity. Several
attractive windows have appeared, fea-
turing suitable baskets and other nov-
elties as graduation presents.

With the exception of orchids, which
are really scarce, flowers still are plen-
tiful. Some fine specimens of Sobralia
macrantha appeared last week, how-
ever. The cut of roses is rather large,
but everything cleans up fairly well.
Fine Beauties move quickly and there
is an excellent demand for the yellow
varieties of roses, such as Aaron Ward,
Sunburst, etc. Russell sells well and
Cecile Brunner maintains its popularity
with remarkable persistency, while
September Morn roses are popular at
aome shops. Some nice poppies are com-
ing in and they are readily absorbed.
The supply of gladioli is increasing
rapidly, but it moves well and the of-
ferings have not become excessive as
yet. Carnations show good quality and
the supply is about equal to tbja de-
mand. Sweet peas are plentiful and
there is considerable shipping* demand.
A large cut of Lilium giganteum con-
tinues to arrive. Peonies are about
gone.

Various Notes.

June is starting out auspiciously as
far as wedding business for the florists
is concerned. Some of the events are
of particular interest to the trade for
other reasons than good business, as
some of the principals are members of

The Market.

Good stock is still scarce, but the
new-crop carnations are helping the sit-
uation a little. There is no trouble in
getting plenty of stock fit for funeral
pieces and immediately use for decora-
tion, but the stock fit for loAg-distance
shipping takes some looking for. Fu-
neral work has kept up well, many fine
pieces being made during the week, but
it is still the rule with many retailers
to send out their pieces by boys on bi-
cycles. If they could see the condi-
tion the pieces often arrive in, they
would probably change their methods.

Among the more showy outdoor flow-
ers this week is the light blue Delphin-
ium Belladonna, a fine thing for deco-

rations. Gladioli are at their best and
are among the most satisfactory flowers
for shipping now. Dahlias are becom-
ing more plentiful and a few early as-
ters are seen, but the time of the latter
is not yet. Many pretty window effects
have been worked out in yellow and
blue, using delphiniums, cornflowers,
etc., in conjunction with yellow annuals,
chrysanthemums, marigolds and others.
The market for greens is good and there
is none going to waste. Ferns and palms
are in good demand.

trip to Bear lake. Instead of the usual
stories of the big ones that got away,
he has packed home photographs of his
daily catches and one of the photo-
graphs is here reproduced. The new
fern, he says, is selling finely.

At the store of the L. A. Floral Co.
a good number of Memorial day orders
had to be turned down owing to lack
of sufficiently good stock for long-dis-
tance shipping.

O. C. Saakes is showing an elegant

of the florists' end of the business.

SAN JOSE, CAL.

The fact that large fields of sweet
peas, growing for seed, are commonplace
sights in the Santa Clara valley does
not seem to dampen the enthusiasm of
San Jose flower-lovers for the sweet
pea. The San Jose Chamber of Com-
merce put on a three-day sweet pea
show, commencing May 17. Although
no prizes were offered, a large number
of exhibitors participated and the daily
attendance was large. Aside from an
exhibit of field-grown blooms by the
Braslan Seed Growers Co., all entries
were made by amateurs, chief among
whom was Emile Ealston, who entered
twenty-seven varieties of the Spencer
type, including most of the newly in-
troduced sorts.

POBTI.AND, OBE.

Tbe Maxket.

The cool weather continued till after
June 1. Outdoor flowers were available
only in limited quantities for Memorial
day and the growers of cut stock were
called upon to supply the deficiency.
This caused an acute shortage, espe-
cially in carnations. The situation was
relieved slightly by shipments of flowers
from California. Blooming pot plants
were in great demand and nearly every-
thing was sold or cut. ij^ery dealer
interviewed stated that his business
for Memorial day was the best for
several years, and that the month of
May showed a marked improvement
over last year.

Dealers in bedding stock have had a
brisk season so far, with prospects that
the demand will continue well into the
month of June. Seedsmen report their
May business better than last year.
One house claims an advance of thirty
per cent. Shippers of cut flowers have
not ofti^n been able to fill all orders
from outside points since the first of
the year, so the market has been slightly
on the short side. Shippers of growing
stock have had a normal business.
Wholesale growers of cut stock have
had no waste and have realized a profit
from their output.

Last week brought in the first pink.

200 for the erection of a mess hall and
kitchen at Camp Conoy, conducted by the
boys' department of the Baltimore
Y. M. C. A.

Such mail advices as are allowed to
come from European growers do not hold
out great encouragement as to seed sup-
plies for 1917 season. The indications
are that the conditions of last season will
be intensified.

In the Nashville district turnip seed
has been harvested, the yield being good
this season. The acreage of cow peas
there biSs fair to be the smallest of
years, The local seedsmen report that
thie season has been prolonged so much
this year that sales have about equaled
the normal, although there was no rush
at any time.

The war has resulted in the addition
of another clause in the terms of sale of
the European growers and wholesalers,
viz.: "Delivery to be made at usual
time unless prevented by war, blockade,
revolution, prohibition of export, riot,
civil commotion or force majeure. In
such case any order or unfulfilled part
of same to be canceled and no claim to
be made."

Many business, financial and fraternal
organizations of Rochester, N. Y., have
adopted resolutions on the death of F. A.
Stecher, May 23, in his sixty-seventh year.
Mr. Stecher had many personal friends
as well as business acquaintances among
seedsmen, as the lithographic company
founded by him has made many catalogue
covers and is the trade's principal source
of supply on colorfe^ 4US^ pockots.

What will the pansy seed situation be
this year? Of course, there are consid-
erable quantities of imported stock car-
ried over from late deliveries last season
that, if properly stored, are as good as
new seed, and there is an annual increase
in the production of American seed, but
the majority of the pansy seed used in
the United States still comes from Ger-
many. The British blockade is today
tighter than it was last year; then parcel
post shipments got through, but they are
not doing so now.

In the Bermuda onion seed business,
says H. G. Hastings, of Atlanta, Ga.,
there is nothing like the interest the seed
trade took in it a few years ago. The
growing of Bermuda onions in Texas has
passed' beyond the speculative stage and
has settled down to be a comparatively
steady business insofar as the acreage
planted each year is concerned and, judg-
ing from the results of marketing the
crop of 1916, there will be little varia-
tion, up or down, in the acreage planted
next autumn.

The seed trade convention at Chicago
will draw an unusually large attendance
this month, aa it is a long time since there
was a large gathering of seedsmen in the
central states.

Vernon Harris, of the McVay Seed &
Tloral Co., of Birmingham, Ala., has
made plans to attend the annual con-
vention of the American Seed Trade As-
sociation at Chicago this month.

lOWANS IN SESSION.

Des Moines, la., June 7. — The Iowa
Seed Dealers' Association convened
here today with an almost full attend-
ance, nearly every seed house of any
consequence in the state being repre-
sented. The excellent showing is due,
the members say, to the energy put into
his work by Secretary A. M. Eldridge,
of Shenandoah. The first day is de-
voted to business, the second to recrea-
tion and visiting, the officers of the
Iowa Seed Co. acting as hosts and
guides. The Iowa seedsmen are for the
upholding of the disclaimer and the
universal use of the cental system in
seed selling.

CONDONS GET SEED FARM.

Condon Bros., of Eockford, 111., re-
cently purchased the McFarland farm,
in Guilford township, adjacent to Rock-
ford, which will be known as Rock
River Valley Seed Farm and on which

New Early-flowering or Winter-bloomins;

^^, ■ ■* ■ An entirely new and distinct strain of Pansies. The
Riflllf PflnSlllft main advantage of these new Pansies over all hitherto
Viailft I ailOlOw existing Pansies is the extreme eariiness of flowering
and their unusual hardiness. Sown at the same time as other Pansies, they begin
flowering the early part of March, or as soon as the snow is off the ground,
many times having four or five large flowers to a plant, when all other
Pansies are only showing buds. The flowers are large, well formed and
fragrant. They are highly recommended for autumn planting f o r early
bedding, and early cut flowers. Supplied in yellow,white, sky blue,
velvety purple, blue and mixture. Seed ready July 1.

they will conduct extensive trials in
addition to growing stock seeds of
beans, corn, onions, peas, beets and rad-
ishes. In passing it is worth noting
that the original transfer of this farm
from the government, in 1839, was at
$1.25 per acre and today's value is
$250, which demonstrates conclusively
why seeds cost more than in years gone
by. L. E. Condon states that the 1916
season has been the best in the history
of the firm.

PRIORITY OF SEED IJENS.

The lien given by the North Dakota
statutes for the price of seed furnished
to grow a crop of grain is not superior,
but inferior, to other liens or mortgages
which attached to the land before the
seed was furnished, according to the
view adopted by the Supreme court of
the state in the case of Strand vs.
Marin, 152 Northwestern Reporter 280.
S.

BREACH or aROWINO CONTRACT.

The plaintiff sold to the defendant
150 barrels of seed potatoes for $300,
the defendant agreeing to plant them
and to deliver the yield to the plaintiff
on demand before a fixed date, at a
price of 50 cents per barrel higher than
the market price for table stock. It
was further agreed that the defendant
would pay an additional sum of $450
to -the plaintiff for the seed, if the
plaintiff should "fulfill this agree-
ment. ' ' The seed potatoes were planted
ajid the yield was harvested and stored,
but before the plaintiff demanded de-
livery of the crop and before the ex-
piration of the time in which he was
to make demand the yield was de-
stroyed by fire, which was not attribu-
table to the fault of either partyi, The
plaintiff then demanded delivery and,
that being impossible, brought suit to
recover the $450 agreed to be paid
him on his performance of the contract.
The suit was defended on the ground
that the destruction of the yield with-
out the defendant's fault exonerated
him from liability to pay the $450, but
the Maine Supreme Judicial court de-
cided in favor of the plaintiff, holding
that since there was no showing that
the seed potatoes were not worth $750
— the total price to be paid, including
the $1^00 paid* at the time of the pur-
chase— there was a valid consideration
for the defendant's promise to pay the
$450, and that the plaintiff, having per-
formed his part of the contract, was
entitled to the extra payment sued for.

Forty-first annual meeting, Milwaukee, Wis.,
June 28 to 30, 1916.

The death of William L. McKay, nur-
seryman of Geneva, N. Y., which occurred
May 25, is recorded in this week's obit-
uary column.

Feank W. Power, known to many in
the trade as formerly associated with the
Orenco Nursery Co., died at Saledi, Ore.,
last week, of blood poisoning.

The indications are that the new, now
1-year-old, plan of organization of the
American Association of Nurserymen will
add materially to the interest, if not to
the attendance, at the approaching Mil-
waukee convention.

Chairman Stark, of the program com-
mittee for the Milwaukee convention,
plans to have something doing every min-
ute. But in order to maintain the new
plan of assessment dues it will be neces-
sary to have some of the sessions execu-
tive.

The Nurserymen's Association of Mas-
sachusetts held a meeting at the estate of
General S. M. Weld, at Dedham, Mass.,
May 19. Growing conditions and legisla-
tive matters pertaining to the trade were
discussed. Luncheon was served by the
host.

DESTRUCTIVE SCALE INSECTS.

Specialists of the U. S. Department
of Agriculture report that the oyster-
shell scale and the scurfy scale are
more frequently the subject of inquiry
by orchardists than all other species
of scale insects combined, with the ex-
ception of the San Jose scale.

Although the insects winter in the
egg stage under the protecting scales
and are) therefore, less susceptible to
washes that are effective against the
San Jose scale, yet such treatment in
most cases will reduce their numbers to
a point where little injury from them
will result. Special spraying may be
necessary to hold them in check if
spraying for the San Jose scale is not
carried on.

The oyster-shell scale is the more
important of the two. It occurs in
nearly every state in the country and
attacks apple, maple, horse chestnut,
poplar, willow, lilac and more than a
score of other trees. Shade trees which
are not often sprayed are especially sus-
ceptible to attack. Maple and poplar

Jdnb 8, 1916.

trees in some cases are completely in-
crusted from top to bottom of the
trunk.

The insect owes its name to its re-
semblance to a long, narrow oyster
shell. The adult female scales are dark
brown in color and about one-eighth of
an inch in length. The eggs are con-
cealed beneath them. In the warmer
climates there are two broods each
year, but in the extreme northern part
of the country and in Canada there is
only one. The time of the hatching of
these broods varies greatly, but it
usually occurs through the months of
April, May and June.

The scurfy scale is especially com-
mon on apple, pear, cherry and peach
trees. It does not attack so wide a
variety of plants as the oyster-shell
scale and this fact, coupled with jts
being less widely distributed than the
latter, makes it the less harmful of the
two. The scurfy scale, like the oyster-
shell, winters in the egg condition un-
der the scales. The scale of the female
is dirty gray in color and of an irreg-
ular pear shape.

Where orchards are pruned and
sprayed regularly for the San Jose
scale during the dormant period, this
will usually be sufficient to hold both
the oyster-shell scale and the scurfy
scale in check. Where this is not done
and the scales prove troublesome, spe-
cific treatment is necessary.

The spraying is usually done in the
same manner as for the San Jose scale,
using the lime-sulphur mixture and ap-
plying it when the trees are dormant.
If an abundance of young scales hatch
in the spring notwithstanding such
treatment, additional spraying is neces-
sary. Kerosene emulsion or other con-
tact sprays may be used to kill the
newly-hatched insects. Only the insects
hit by the spray are killed; therefore
the effectiveness of this second spray-
ing depends largely upon whether it is
done at the time the scales hatch, and
whether the tree is thoroughly covered
with a uniform coat. The young insects
usually appear during ' the spring and
sometimes in the early summer. Trees
which have become infested should be
carefully watched during this period to
discover the insects when they hatch
and to apply the spray at this time,
when it will do the most good. The in-
sects are easily distinguished, are light
yellow in color, and are found crawling
over the trees in great numbers.

DETROIT, MICH.

The Market.

Business has been quiet since the be-
ginning of the month. The market is
well supplied with choice stock of every
description. Peonies and miniature
gladioli are in good demand. The baby
gladioli are not so choice as in other
years.

Memorial day business in Detroit was
nothing special. Of course, the florists
near the cemeteries sold considerable
stock, especially in potted plants, but
in cut flowers there was little doing.
Many of the downtown retailers, an-
ticipating a big demand and being en-
thusiastic, put in an extra large sup-
ply of stock, but these were doomed
to disappointment.

Vajlous Notes.

E. A. Fetters recently moved his
upper Woodward avenue store into the
building adjoining. Both the center
store and the store on the south are
occupied by a catering company, and
archways have been broken through,
these being closed with French doors.
This practically makes the three stores
as one.

Norman Sullivan, who has been on
the sick list for about four months, is
back in harness, although much handi-
capped at times by rheumatism.

Montreal, Canada. — The new branch
store of McKenna, Ltd., opened Novem-
ber 1 at Quebec city, has done well,

cers of the McKenna corporation are:
President, James McKenna; vice-presi-
dent and managing director, Frank J.
McKenna; secretary and treasurer,

The Market.

Peonies still are shy on the market;
only southern stock is to be had. The
local crop will be heavy about June 10
to 15, which is late for this locality.
Carnations are more plentiful than at
any time this year. Eoses are in good
supply, but their quality is poor. Val-
ley and lilies are scarce.

Various Notes.

George and Herbert Bate, of the
Cleveland Cut Flower Co., headed a
fishing party to their cottage on Turkey
Foot lake, near Akron, this week,

C. Betscher, of Canal Dover, has been
sending some cho'ice peonies to this
market from his plantings at Marietta,
on the Ohio river. May 15 he began
cutting, P. umbellata rosea, Duchesse de
Nemours, Jenny [Lind, Feliz Crousse,
Octave Demay and Floral Treasure.

M. A. Vinson is busy boosting the
industrial exposition and fair, which is
to be staged in ten large tents at Edge-
water park, September 2 to 9. The
show is promoted by the Chamber of
Industry. A flower show is to be staged
in connection with the other exhibits.

City Architect Betz has returned from
a tour of the west, where he has been
investigating public halls and coliseums
before completing the plans of Cleve-
land's big auditorium. The city of-
ficials say the building will be com-
pleted early in 1918. F. A. F.

Elkhart, Ind.— Suit for $50,000 dam-
ages has been filed in the Indiana Fed-
eral court by William and Ellis Currier
against the Chicago House-Wrecking
Co., of Chicago, and T. Hughes and S.
S. Stutsman, of Elkhart. The Curriers
allege that their florists' business was
almost destroyed by the defendants
through filing of an involuntary peti-
tion in bankruptcy. A receiver was
appointed, but the case ended in the
Curriers being declared solvent.

PROVIDENCE, E. I.

The Market.

Memorial day proved another busy
day for the florists and growers and al-
most everybody cleaned up on both cut
flowers and potted stock. A noticeable
feature this year was the greatly in-
creased demand for magnolia wreaths
with artificial flowers. Small potted
plants, especially geraniums, found a
ready sale. Prices were slightly ad-
vanced, but not so much as in previous
years, the strain being relieved by the
use of the artificials. Saturday, June
3, was preparedness day, and for this
occasion several of the enterprising
downtown florists offered red, white and
blue bouquets of carnations and
bachelor's buttons.

Various Notes.

The florists' business was well repre-
sented in the preparedness parade, about
100 men marching in the florists' di-
vision. Kobert Johnston, of Johnston
Bros., was the marshal of the division,
with James Dillon, L. Dickinson, Wil-
liam H. O'Connor, Laurence Hay, Alex-
ander Macrae and Herbert West as
assistant marshals.

Oakley & Powers is the style of a
new concern on Empire street.

E. E. Howard has opened an ofl&ce
at 267 Weybosset street for the sale

SNAPDRAGON POINTERS

To be most successful it is better to be governed by tested rules.
We give a. few pointers regarding Snapdragon, taken from our ex-
perimental records:

Sow seed of our genuine Silver Pink Snapdragon before June 15;
follow directions on topping and benching, setting the plants 12x15.
The first crop of blooms will come in December, which should be
cut, leaving all other growth. The myriads of shoots left should
begin flowering in February and continue to flower until June.
There should be from 30 to 50 shoots on each plant. If your trade
calls for heavy spikes, thin them out. If for medium spikes, let all
remain.

So much for the greatest and most productive Snapdragon in
existence. Treatment for other varieties will be about the same,
except they can be planted closer.

Snapdragon is our one business. No better seeds can be produced.
Each variety grown for seed is kept under glass in separate bouses.
We offer pure seed as follows: Our original Silver Pink, ll.OO per
pkt.; 8 for $2.50; 7 for 15.00. Seed of Nelrose, Phelos' White, Yellow.
Garnet Buxton and fancy mixed, at 36c per pkt.; 3 for tl.OO. Free
cultural directions. All orders cash.

We have a few thousand seedling plants of Silver Pink at 15.00 per 100.
This ad will (ulde you to prosperity. Save It.

Creenhonse 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 Ee'^iew to make a choice of ap-

• paratus for you. The greenhouse heating
'.^ equipment advertised in this paper is, we

' WILL NEED LARGER FLOWS.

I am building a greenhouse 15x40.
If I run two 1%-inch flows under the
ridge and five returns under each side
bench, can I maintain a temperature
of 60 to 70 degrees when the outside
temperature is not lower than 8 de-
grees above zero? The walls are solid
to a height of three feet; above that
there are two feet of glass in the side
walls. The height to the ridge is eight
feet. The house is well protected from
winds. L. A. W. — Miss.

So far as the question of radiation
only is concerned, the amount suggested
would be sufficient to maintain a tem-
perature of 60 degrees unless the out-
side temperature drops lower than 10
degrees above zero, but we do not ad-
vise carrying five 1%-inch returns,
forty feet in length, with one 1%-inch
flow pipe. We would use either two 2-
inch flows or one 2V^-inch flow in the
house. If a temperature of 70 degrees
is desired, we would add one return
upon each wall.

A TWO-SECTION GREENHOUSE.

Will you kindly give me the neces-
sary information in regard to the pip-
ing of the greenhouse shown in the en-
closed sketch? We wish to heat with
steam, using 114-inch or l^^-inch pipe.
Please state how many pipes will be
needed and how they should be placed
in each room. W. A. W. — Idaho.

From the accompanying sketch it
would appear that the house is 24x90,
running east and west. The walls are
five and one-half feet in height, with
three feet of glass in the north wall.
The south and west walls are con-
structed entirely of glass. A 20-foot
space at the east end is partitioned off
from the remainder of the house and
has an 8-foot basement underneath.
The boiler is to be placed in the south-
east corner of this basement. The
house has raised benches at each wall,
and three other benches through the

benches and will have a glass roof. The
building must face the south. Would
you recommend steam or hot water for
heating the house? We are eighty-
miles south of the Canadian border and
have about six months of steady winter
weather. Is it possible to grow carna-
tions successfully in a north and south
building? R. G. — Minn.

The letter states that "the building
must face the south ' ' and, although
the description is not entirely clear to
us, we infer that the salesroom is at
the south end of a north and south
house. Whether the boiler room is at
the same end of the house we are not
certain, but will consider that the
boiler and workroom are at the north
end of the house.

It really makes little difference which
way the houses run, so far as the suc-
cessful growing of carnations is con-
cerned, although in the extreme north-
ern sections of the country we find
that, in houses kept below 60 degrees,
the snow which accumulates on th«
north slope of the roof of houses run-
ning east and west is a serious objec-
tion. In the house described, if the
salesroom is at the south end, the shad-
ows formed by the partition will retard
the growth of the plants in the south
end of the carnation house.

If the salesroom is built in the same
way as the remainder of the house, we
would run a 2V^-inch flow pipe upon
each plate through both houses, and
connect each of them with four 2-inch
returns, placing two on each wall and
two under each side bench. We would

Miles of Steam Pipes
Millions of Heat Units

In the miles of steam pipes that heat your green-
houses, steam containing many dollars' worth of heat
units is condensing into water every season.

Of course, you are drawing this water off— for the
heating plant will not do its work unless the pipes are
kept clear— but in drawing it off. are you wasting the
heat units that remain in the hot water?

Water from city supply is usually about 60° F., but
from a well, considerably colder. The boiling point
of water is 212° F., and the temperature of the con-
densation in your pipes but a trifle below that.

In other words, if you are not utilizing the hot water
that condenses in your heating coils you are wasting
enough coal to raise the water almost 160°.

And when you consider the amount of water that must
be turned into steam to supply your heating coils, you
can see that this is no small item.

There is a way to remove the condensation from your
heating plant and "boost" it again into steam.

The "Detroit" System, once it is installed, will do
this automatically:- There are no pumps to watch, no
drain cocks to open, no power used in operating the
device.

The "Detroit" System has advantages over the pump
or other means of handling condensation.

It returns the water to the boiler just a trifle under
the boiling point; there is no waiting for the water
to cool.

There is a "Detroit" System to meet every problem of
condensation.

Just write the particulars about your greenhouse
heating plant, and we will send you full description
of the "Detroit" Systems and will advise you as to
which one best suits your needs. ■ - — . ,

The Florists' Review

JONH 8, 1»16.

MINITEAPOLIS.

The Market.

Last week was an extremely long one
for florists. The work of decorating
the cemeteries Memorial day called for
the best efforts of the entire trade in
the city. Attractive sprays, wreaths
and emblems were fashioned of flowers
popular at this time of the year. There
were elaborate fillings of vases, birch-
wood boxes and other receptacles of
plants.

There has been much business in dec-
orations for weddings, graduations and
other festivities occurring at this time
of the year. The retailers now are find-
ing it difficult to obtain flowers, more
especially plants, which are decidedly
scarce. Marguerites, vincas and gera-
niums of first-class quality really are
not to be had.

Various Notes.

Hans Eosacker has a splendid stock
of vincas, but, alas, these he requires
for his own orders.

The Lakewood Cemetery Greenhouses
sold most of the plants for garden
vases and window boxes. They had an
extremely busy week.

The city had splendid weather Deco-
ration day and all the stores put up fine
window displays.

"William F. Holmes had a handsome
appearing store last week. Among the
roses and carnations were many spring
flowers. Here, too, was a display of
unique novelties.

Miss H. B. Whitted had a fine dis-
play of sea plants, cut fiowers, ferns,
etc. Pretty effects were made with or-
chids, roses, lilies and palms.
- The Mazey Floral Co. store is a pret-
ty spot. Situated at Marquette and
Eighth streets, in a district of fine
buildings, the tastefully decorated win-
dows make a good showing.

O. C. Swanson had a splendid display
of gladioli last week.

Baskets of sweet peas, valley and
roses in the window of the Sunshine
Florist last week caught the eye of
every passer-by. F. E. B.

PITTSBUBGH.

The Market.

Conditions since Memorial day have
not been all that could be desired.
Large quantities of peonies and other
stock arrived May 31. There was an
avalanche of roses and carnations, so
that wholesalers were swamped, and
there was no important demand to re-
lieve the congestion. The retailers are
not complaining, as they are all fairly
busy, as well as the plantsmen. The
weather is quite cool and frost was re-
ported in low places June 2. Shippers
of sweet peas suffered a great loss dur-
ing the early part of the week on ac-
count of the hot weather.

Various Notes.

De Forest Ludwig appears to be much
improved and since his return has spent
most of his time on the farm. He has
been cutting large quantities of peonies
and fine outdoor valley.

Mrs. Samuel McClements, who has
been ill for some time, was taken to
the hospital last week.

The Florists ' Club met May 30 at the
Fort Pitt hotel. Dr. Jennings gave his
postponed illustrated lecture on "The
Flora of the State of Washington. ' '
Clarke.

BRAMPTON, ONT.

The Market.

Stock is becoming scarcer every day.
Fortunately, there has been no hot
weather to create transportation diffi-
culties. Planting out has begun in ear-
nest, although at this time last year it
was completed. Frequent rains and
shortage of labor have proved severe
drawbacks this season, but it is hoped
the work will be completed in time to
prevent inconvenience later.

Various Notes.

Men continue to enlist and the Dale
Estate has been greatly handicapped,
fifty per cent of its employees having
joined the various regiments going to
the front.

John Calvert, father of W. E. Cal-
vert, died suddenly of epilepsy on the
morning of June 2. Mr. Calvert was
a hearty old Englishman of 70 years
and came to this country to assist his
son in the greenhouse business about
eight years ago. W. G. P.

%. Make Customers Successful with i
^<5^«^^~:=::r-^ Your Plants — I

Your customers buy potted plants. Often
they wither and die and you are blamed
for the failure. It's simply because plant
food is lacking. Your customers don't
want fertilizers with offensive odors. They
need Odorless Fertilo that does not mar
the fragrance of the flowers. Just the material
for Lawns, Flowers, Shrubs and Small Gardens.
You can sell several cans of OdorlesB Tertilo
to each customer who buys potted plants and
several bags to those with gardens. Make them
more successful and they will become flower
enthusiasts,

FERTILO is nature's pure plant food and com-
bines all the essential elements required by
plant life: Ammonia, Phosphoric Acid, Bone,
Phosphate of Lime and Potash. Makes the
necessary Humus for enriching the soil and is
also an excellent Insecticide.

FERTILO is odorless, will not get hard and
lumpy. Put up in handy containers in 1 and 6-lb.
sizes, and in 10 and SO-lb. bags. Tbe 1-lb. pack-
age will fertilize 10 gallons of eartb for potted
plants or 60 sq, ft. of surface. Retails for 26c.
Full and simple directions printed on each
package.

Florists, truckers and landscape gardeners
recommend Odorless Fertilo.

Send us 6c in stamps to cover pottage and we will send
you free sample of the 1-lb. package, togreiher with full
particulars, and quote you our liberal terms to florists.

FOET WAYNE, IND. "

The Market.

Business last week was booming, ow-
ing to the Memorial day trade and the
large number of bedding plant orders.
The Memorial day business proved a
record-breaker, and the florists feel
well satisfied with the results of their
advertising campaign. The demand
centered chiefly on bouquets, although
the sale of blooming plants for this
occasion was larger than ever before.
Local peonies were exceedingly plentiful
and were in fine demand, although there
was no shortage in any other line.

This is Centennial week, during which
Fort Wayne will celebrate the one-
hundredth anniversary of Indiana's
statehood. Several florists have hand-
some booths in the exposition, and ex-
hibit not only plants and cut flowers,
but also wedding and graduation bou-
quets, table decorations and funeral
work. The celebration has called for
a great deal of planting. Many out-of-
town people are expected for the
pageant and florists are anticipating
a busy week in counter sales.

Various Notes.

W. J. & M. S. Vesey have been ex-
ceedingly busy in their landscape de-
partment. They are cutting some fine
Cattleya gigas and Shawyer roses.
This firm has a big booth at the in-
dustrial exposition.

Miss Marguerite I'lick will leave this
week for a visit at Terre Haute.

The Flick Floral Co. reports a tre-
mendous Memorial day trade. The
daily newspapers were used and at-
tractive folders and blotters were sent
out, advertising Memorial day flowers.
The planting trade this year has been
the best in the history of the company.

A. J. Lanternier & Co. are cutting a
fine lot of carnations. They had a rush-
ing trade for Memorial day, in which
plants were a big factor. They have a
booth at the exposition this week, in
charge of Miss Eleen Lanternier.

The Doswell Floral Co. reports a fine
Memorial day trade. Miss Rhoda Dos-
well had charge of the decoration of
the bird room of the women's build-
ing in the centennial celebration this
weak. The company has a booth at the
exposition. K. F.

water they wanted with practically
no additional expense. We sold the

Is Mr. Grillo pleased with his three new
Jacobs Greeahouses? Ask hlin— he has three.

Every Greenhouse wo build Is so planned
and erected as to attain the maximum of
satisfactory results at a minimum of cost.

The TentllatlnK and beatlDR systems, which
we perfected, have withstood the most rlRld
tests. They have nev«r yet failed to do their
share In produclnfiran abundant and healthy

stock.

WE KNOW WHAT TO 00 AND WHAT NOT TO DO

If you contemplate building a Kreenhouse
write us— we can save money for you.

BOSTON OFFICE: 113 STATE ST. PHILADELPHIA OFFICE: HARRISON BLDG., 15TH AND MARKET STS.

CINCINNATI.

The Market.

Last week found business excellent.
Memorial day and the various com-
mencements were the leading factors.
The supply of stock was large, and, al-
though prices were low, the sales ran
into a considerable sum.

Eoses are in heavy supply, but plain-
ly show the effects of the hot weather.
Carnations, too, are plentiful; so are
Easter lilies. Gladioli are excellent and
prove to be good property. The cut of
outdoor sweet peas is heavy. Water
lilies are now in the market. Valley
is meeting with a good call. Snap-
dragons sell fairly well. Other flowers
in the market are orchids, callas, corn-
flowers, coreopsis and peonies. Greens
are abundant.

Various Notes.

The regular meeting of the Cincin-
nati Florists' Society will be held June
12.

C. E. Critchell must leave the prem-
ises he is now occupying, as they lie
in the pathway of the Green Line ter-
minals. Mr. Critchell has had a good
call for wild smilax.

P. J. Olinger's new red carnation,
Radium, was greatly in demand for
commencement bouquets last week.

L. H. Kyrk was the first in the mar-
ket to offer coreopsis. It proved
popular.

Thomas Windram has left for a visit
to 'Leesburg, Fla.

Recent visitors included F. M. Peck,
of Toledo, O., and Pierce .Julian, of
Roan Mountain, Tenn. C. H. H.

Greenville, Mich. — The Greenville
Floral Co. has reorganized and capi-
talized at $40,000. Six acres of land
have been added to the range.

PEONY GROWERS ARE jur
iir AFTER THE AMATEURS

The American Peony Society, at its thirteenth exhibition and meeting,
held in New York city last week, made a special effort to interest amaieur
growers. Membership gains are steqdy.'Jmt participation in meetings and
exhibitions does not increase, Plan^for ij^xt; year show no change.

THIETEEN is a proverbially
unlucky number and may
in a measure be responsi-
ble for the lack of interest
displayed last week in the
thirteenth annual meeting
and exhibition of the
American Peony Society,
held in New York. On the
other hand, the absence of
trade interest may in some part have
been due to the announcement by Sec-
retary Saunders in the preliminary pre-
mium list that "a special effort has
been made this year to provide a list
that shall offer something attractive
to the amateur who has only a few
plants of peonies, and not alone to the
professional growers and to amateurs
with large collections. Those who have
only small collections will find in the
'Limited Amateur Classes' a place
where they may be almost certain of
winning something. It is earnestly
hoped that these classes will bring out
a large number of entries. If more
amateurs realized the interest and in-
centive in staging blooms for competi-
tion there would be no lack of exhib-
itors. Amateurs with large collections
should understand that they as well as
the professional grow-
ers may enter any of
the open classes."

Little Competition.

But no amateurs did
enter in the fourteen
open classes and there
were only four trade
growers who exhibited
in them; four of the
fourteen classes failed
to bring out a single
entry. The Harding
prize of $100 for an
American seedling of
outstanding merit was
not awarded.

The amateurs made
a slightly better show-
ing than did the trade
growers, numerically
at least, as seven par-
ticipated, three in the
regular amateur classes
and four in the "lim-
ited ' ' classes, where
only three blooms were
required. Only one
amateur class failed to
get an entry and this
was the amateur ar-
rangement for effect,
the prizes being cash

medals offered by a gardening magazine.
The appearance is that the trade's
interest in the peony has subsided with
the passing of the boom of a decade
ago, when florists and nurserymen were
planting peonies by the acre, for cut
blooms and for stock, and that the
amateurs have not been impressed with
the advantages that accrue with the

and

achievement'

Best Vase of 100 Peonies at the 1916 National Exhibition.

winning of from $3 to $6 with a dis-
play of only three flowers. It is the
fact, however, that the peony now
stands higher . in public appreciation
than it ever did before and that, on
the whole, florists are selling more cut
blooms and both florists and nursery-
men ^re selling more roots each year
than in the years before.. The Peony
Society has done much- good work, but
a change in direction evidently is need-
ed. For instance, all other exhibitions
nowadays feature the retail florists'
decorative displays and demonstrations,
but last week's peony show ignored
the retailer and his work; there was
no attempt to show the use of the
peony as a cut flower.

Nomenclature.

President Farr called the annual busi-
ness meeting to order at the Hotel
Astor, Friday evening, June 9. He had
prepared no address, but spoke extem-
poraneously on the needs of the society
and on the perennial question of no-
menclature. The society's trials at
Cornell University have pretty well
settled questions as to synonyms, most
of these now being matters of published
record, but President Farr suggested
there is a good work
to be done in the sim-
plification of names.
He deplored the habit
in Europe, whence have
come the majority of
our most generally
grown varieties, to use
long names, frequently
those devoid of mean-
ing, as in cases of the
use of names of per-
sons. He urged that
short, descriptive
names are much bet-
ter and suggested that
the secretary be in-
structed to write the
principal peony inter-
ests in Europe stating
the American society's
attitude, urging that a
name of one word be
used in most cases,
with never more than
two words in the name
for a new variety.

The Business Yoar.

Prof. Saunders, sec-
retary, reported that
thirty-four new mem-
bers had been added to
the list since last
year 's meeting. The

membership now stands at 150, an in-
creasing percentage being amateurs.

The treasurer's report, also presented
by the secretary, showed a cash bal-
ance of slightly over $1,700, against
$1,577.78 last year.

Officers Elected.

It has become custom in the Peony
Society to reelect its quartette of offi-
cers, as follows:

President — Bertrand H. Farr, Wyo-
missing. Pa.

Vice-president — A. H. Fewkes, New-
ton Highlands, Mass.

Treasurer — J. H. Humphreys, Phila-
delphia.

ture *' Collection of 100 named vari-
eties, one bloom of each."

A directors' meeting was authorized
for midwinter to arrange for the Phila-
delphia meeting, with a view to securing
increased attendance and more numer-
ous entries.

The secretary was authorized to pub-
lish two bulletins in the coming year,
the same as in the preceding year.

No action was taken following a dis-
cussion relative to admitting garden
clubs as annual or life members.

' Scale of Points.

At this meeting the society adopted
the following as the first official Amer-

Prize \7lnners in Qass for Six Specimen Blooms at National Peony Show.

Secretary — A. P. Saunders, Clinton,
N. Y.

James Boyd, an amateur, of Haver-
ford, Pa., was elected a director for
three years to take the place of John
M. Good, of Springfield, O., whose term
expired.

Philadelphia was selected for the
1917 meeting, in cooperation with the
June show of the Pennsylvania Horti-
cultural Society.

Miscellaneous Business.

Mrs. Sarah A. Pleas, who was a pio-
neer peony specialist in Indiana, now
resident at Whittier, Cal., was elected
to honorary membership, as was the
firm of Lemoine & Son, Nancy, France.

A vote of thanks was sent Mrs. Ed-
ward Harding, for her prize of $100
offered for a peony of American origin,
not yet in commerce, light colored, dou-
ble, to be awarded by the nomencla-
ture committee of the Peony Society
to such a variety as the committee
would wish to put in its list of best
sorts, open for competition until 1920
unless won before that date.

Life membership was created, the
fee to be $25 and to be placed in a
permanent fund.

Acting on President Farr's recom-
mendation, the society voted to renew
its effort to secure a complete collection
of varieties for the trial grounds at
Arlington Farm, near Washington,
which the government maintains as the
American Peony Society Collection.

In the past tlae gold medal first class
on the premium list has called for a
collection of not less than 100 varieties.
This was changed by the adoption of a
resolution striking out the words "not
less than," so that it will read in fu-

ican scale for judging cut blooms of
the peony:

Color 20 points

size 20 points

Stem 20 points

Form 15 points

Substance 15 points

Fragrance 10 points

Total 100 points

The Exhibition.

. While the exhibition was smaller than

many of its predecessors, it neverthe-
less made an e:^cellent showing in the
American Museum of Natural History.
It had received so little ^publicity that
the attendance was not large, even
after the weather cleared, and at first
it was handicapped by rains. The qual-
ity of the blooms was never better;
while the season has been backward,
the conditions seem to have favored the
peony, for the flowers were fine. The
collection of James Boyd, Philadelphia
amateur, was specially commendable.

Nothing new developed. There was
no award in any of the three classes
for new varieties. The best blooms in
the show were Kelway's Glorious, Mar-
guerite Gerard, Germaine Bigot, Tou-
rangelle, Humei carnea, Albatre, Mrs.
Pleas' Jubilee, La Tendresse, Primevere,
Duchesse de Nemours, Marie Crousse
and Venus.

The Awards.

The awards in the open classes, where

Ijeft-oyer Bedding Plants.

The season has been a somewhat cool
and backward one and some sales of
bedding plants will probably be made
until the last of the month. It is a too
common practice to leave small lots of
miscellaneous bedding plants scattered
here and there on benches or in frames,
entailing a needless amount of labor in
watering. If these are placed in frames

or close together on the benches, much
labor will be saved in watering and the
plants will be more likely to get the
water they need. Carry the empty pots
away each day and stack them up. Do
not leave them lying below or on the
benches.

Have you planted out all the stock
plants you need! If not, attend to it
even at this late date. Particularly

true is this of geraniums. You can buy
rooted cuttings and plants from small
pots at tempting prices, but home-
propagated stock is away ahead of
them. If you do not care to set the
plants out in nursery rows, why not do
a little ■ tasteful planting about your
home, or the approach to the green-
houses? Individual beds of a single
color are usually best, and geraniums,
cannas, heliotropes, verbenas, petunias,
salvias, ageratums, lantanas, fibrous be-
gonias and lobelias are all good for this
purpose. Also, do not omit the plant-
ing of some scented geraniums and
lemon verbenas, the two most popular
scented-leaved plants we have.

Poinsettias.

Poinsettia propagation should now go
on apace. Be sure to keep the stock
plants in a light and not too warm
house, where they get no shade. This
will insure strong, stocky, short-jointed
cuttings, which, when rubbed off with
a heel, will root without much trouble
if carefully watered and shaded. For
dwarf stock in small pans, cuttings can
be put in as late as the middle of
August.

Stevlas.

Stevias can be pot-grown through the
summer or planted out in the field.
They give no trouble when out in the
field, and are sure to make big, bushy
plants. At lifting time, however, they
need careful handling. They are easily
broken and unless they are sprayed
freely and shaded for some days they
are liable to "peter out." Pot-grown
plants plunged to their brims will take
considerable water in hot weather, but
there is no breaking or wilting, such as
we must anticipate in the field-grown
stock.

resolution striking out tlie words "not

many of its predecessors, it neverthe-
less made an excellent showing in the
American Museum of Natural History.
It had received so little publicity that
the attendance was not largo, even
after the weather cleared, and at first
it was handicapped by rains. The qual-
ity of the blooms was never better;
while the season has been backward,
the conditions seem to have favored the
peony, for the flowers were fine. The
collection of James Boyd, Philadelphia
amateur, was specially commendable.

Nothing new developed. There was
no award in any of the three classes
for new varieties. The best blooms in
the show were Kelway's Glorious, Mar-
guerite Gerard, Germaine Bigot, Tou-
rangelle, Humei carnea, Albatre, Mrs.

THE EAST TO HOUSTON.

John Young, 53 West Twenty-eighth
street, New York, has been named as
chairman of a committee to make plans
and receive reservations for those who
care to make the trip by water from
New York to New Orleans for the Hous-
ton convention.

This is considered an ideal trip and
all those going to the convention from
the east should take advantage of this
opportunity and write Mr. Young im-
mediately, advising him of their inten-
tion of making the trip by water.

All members will go on the same boat,
and it assures a most enjoyable time for
those who can spare the time to make
the trip this way. E. C. Kerr.

A CONITBENCE SUOGESTED.

The convention of the Associated Ad-
vertising Clubs of the World begins
Sunday, June 25, at Philadelphia. In
looking over the program I see no men-
tion of the florists having a depart-
mental in connection with this affair
and the thought occurred to me that
the florists' business is now on a plane
that entitles it to recognition among
the other big businesses of the country;
I believe that the wide-awake, up-to-
date florists should identify themselves
with this great advertising movement.

It seems to me that you, as leader in
the field, should take this matter up
with some of the leading lights among
the florists of the country and organize
a departmental meeting this year at
Philadelphia. I sincerely believe that
a call will be quickly answered, espe-
cially by the eastern florists around
Philadelphia.

I hope to hear some response to this
and to meet many florists at Phila-
delphia. J. F. Keller.

Lexington, Ky.

THE APPROAOHINO CONVENTION.

The southern florists are alive to the
importance of the meeting of the con-
vention of the S. A. F. in the south
this summer. We will avail ourselves
of the opportunity to discuss questions
that will promote horticulture in gen-
eral. We realize the great possibilities
that lie before the southern horticul-
turists for development of our profes-
sion. We also realize the wonderful
amount of good to be derived from the
members of this organization in our
midst, which will be a wonderful stim-
ulant and of great help to the southern
florists in discussing such matters as
will tend to promote the cause of hor-
ticulture in the south.

On the other hand, we believe that
the coming of the members of the
S. A. F. from other sections to the
south will be of great interest to them,
as they will have an insight into the
possibilities that lie before the southern
florists, and will, therefore, lay their
plans to cooperate with us in the de-
velopment of this section of the coun-
try.

But why should we lay aside the im-
portant business of this society at the
Houstoh convention? We will have a
large delegation from other sections,
together with a record-breakiiig dele-
gation from the south, who have the
interest of this society at heart, are
thdroughly familiar with the detail
work of this organization, and are
thoroughly prepared to vote on matters
that are of interest to the society.
Time is not so short but we will be
able to take up these questions and
vote upon them intelligently.

The membership will be a represent-
ative one and there is no doibt in my
mind but what it is only right and
proper that these questions should be
taken 'vtip at this time as they are
scheduied.

There ;\vas a feeling at the time the
convention went to San Francisco that
possibly the western members would
take things in their own hands and
vote upon such matterf^ i^ would be
to their own interest, ««id possibly not
to the interest oi t^ie 8a<Slety as a whole.
It was demonstitited at the San Fran-

cisco convention that the western boys
had the interest of the society at heart
and did not make any attempt at rail-
roading matters that were to their sel-
fish interest. You may expect the same
at the Houston convention.

The society may expect the southern
members to use their best judgment and
all to vote in such a way as to be to the
interest of the society as a whole.

I want to state here that insofar as I
am personally concerned, I expect to
work diligently to this end and I be-
lieve there will be no opposition from
the other members along these lines.
Any attempt to table such questions
as are scheduled for this meeting will
certainly hQ fought ito the liriiit.

PJEONIA UMBELLATA ROSEA.

It is hard to obtain' "^priies in the
northern states for Memorial day.
There may be a few hundreds for that
day, and two days after there may be
thousands. Pfleonia edulis superba is
often on time, but this year it was late.
After seven years' trial, we have found
that P. umbellata rosea net^er fails.
This season was so backward that we
thought the ^last-mentioned variety
would not be in time, but it woke up
and came in gloriously on the home
stretch. It is a beautiful, fragrant,
somewhat variegated pink. It is a good
multiplier and often doubles every year,
making it the most profitable of all
peonies. C. S. Harrison.

SWEET PEA SHOW AT FRISCO.

An Unprecedented Success.

Great satisfa(ftion is expressed in the
San Francisco trade over the unprece-
dented success of the sweet pea exhi-
bition held under the auspices of the
American Sweet Pea Society in the con-
cert room of the Palace hotel, Friday
and Saturday, June 9 and 10. It easily
surpassed the exhibition given at the
Panama-Pacific International Exposi-
tion last year in beauty, quality of ex-
hibits, number of exhibitors and even in
attendance, and that is high praise, as
the event last year was no mean suc-
cess. The displays were limited almost
exclusively to sweet peas, and probably
never before in this part of the coun-
try were the wonderful possibilities of
that particular flower demonstrated to
such advantage to the public. The
effect will no doubt be far-reaching in
its bearing on the future popularity of
the sweet pea.

Early on the morning of June 9 some
of the exhibits were in place, and the
news soon spread that something un-
usual was to be seen in the south wing
of the Palace. Visitors began to throng
the corridor long before the show was

ready for inspection. The location was
ideal, the rich red and gold hangings
of the concert room, red carpet and spe-
cial lighting effect being particularly
well adapted to the purpose. By 11:30 all
the exhibits were in place and visiters
were requested to retire while the
judges determined the prize-winners.
The judges were Jghn McLaren, super-
intendent xfit Golden Gate park; E.
James, president of the Pacific Coast
Horticultural Society; E. M. Sanborn,
of Oakland; Miss E. McLean.

Trade Exhibits, as Advertising.

The trade exhibits extended along
the north side of the room and nearly
across one end, the space being about
equally divided among W. Atlee Bur-
pee & Co., of Philadelphia; C. C. Morse
& Co., of San Francisco; Waldo Roh-
nert, of Gilroy, Cal.; the L. D.. Waller
Seed Co., of Guadaloupe, Cal. The ex-
hibit of C. C. Morse & Co., directly
opposite the main entrance, was the
first to catch the eye. This company
featured many new seedlings of early-
flowering Spencer sweet peas, several
of which will be put on the market this
coming season. Standing out promi-
nently in this display was a large show-
ing of New Miriam Beaver, Illumi-

nator, Culebra, Scintillator and Herbert
Owen, new 1916-1917 novelties. Spe-
cial attention was called to a new
duplex Spencer seedling, which has not
been named as yet, but which was pro-
nounced by the company about the
finest novelty they have ever produced.
In the Morse exhibit were more than
100 varieties of Spencers.

The exhibit of W. Atlee Burpee
& Co., which was arranged by Harry
F. Buckihan, of the company's Flora-
dale farms, at Lompoc, Cal., adjoining
the Morse exhibit on the left, embraced
about forty varieties of Spencers, with
a large cross of Fiery Cross as the
central feature. They showed five new
varieties of the winter-flowering class,
especially adapted to growing under
glass. They have been named Ford-
hook Countess, Fordhook Pink, Ford-
hook White, Fordhook Bose, Fordhook
Hercules and Fordhook King.

The exhibit of the L. D. Waller Seed
Co., joining the C. C. Morse & Co. ex-
hibit on the right, was arranged for
effect rather than for the number of
varieties shown, there being between
forty and fifty varieties of Spencers
represented. E. Cowdy, a new variety
of brilliant orange-scarlet, was fea-
tured, together with E. F. Felton, a fine
new lavender; New Buttercup, a deep
primrose, almost yellow; Edith Taylor,
with large blooms, and Constance Hin-
ton, a splendid white. All were field-
grown, without the aid of irrigation.

Waldo Eohnert showed about fifty
varieties of Spencers and a vase of
Frank Darby. He called special atten-
tion to an improved form of King
Edward, of which brightness of color
and size of bloom were both good.
The color of his Bobbie's Cream and
the size of bloom were especially fine.
Robert Sydenham, a bright salmon, was
another feature.

Those Who Won Prizes.

The schedule on which awards were
made included thirteen classes, and
competition was keen in most cases.
The jurors announced the following
awards:

Vase of Fiery Cross Spencer sweet peas, prizes
donated by W. Atlee Burpee & Co. — John W.
Altken, first: S. M. Spalding, second.

Six rases Spencer sweet peas, six distinct va-

rieties, prizes donated by W. Atlee Burpee &
Co. — John W. Aitken, first; Mrs. Lewis Stem,
second.

Twelve varieties of the C. 0. Morse & Co.
grand prize collection, prizes donated by C. C.
Morse & Co. — John W. Altken, first; Frank C.
Thompson, second; Emlle Ralston, third.

Five vases Spencer sweet peas, one vase each

One Class for Florists.

Class 13, for a bride's bouquet and
corsage, open to florists, with a prize
of $25 donated by C. C. Morse, was
won by the Art Floral Co. Other nota-
ble bouquets were shown in this class
by the Palace Hotel Flower Stand, the
Francis Floral Co. and the MacRorie-
McLaren Co. The latter company also
entered some handsome basket arrange-
ments and a bride's bouquet, not for
competition, which added greatly to
the show. A wax figure carried the
bride's bouquet, and her arrival about
noon of the first day created quite a
stir in the exhibition hall.

The only exhibit outside of sweet
peas was a beautiful showing of wild
flowers from^ the Golden Gate park,
which occupied considerable space in
one corner of the room.

Among the out-of-town visitors were:
L. D. Waller and Dr. Franklin, of the
L. D. Waller Seed Co., Guadaloupe, Cal.;
Harry F. Buckman, of W. Atlee Burpee
& Co., Lompoc, Cal.; Waldo Eohnert,
of Gilroy, Cal. Much of the success of

the show was due to the efforts of these
gentlemen: Frank G. Cuthbertson,
assistant secretary of the American
Sweet Pea Society, and T. C. Holmes,
of C. C. Morse & Co., the latter acting
as floor manager. S. H. G.

MONTGOMERY'S BOSE HOUSE.

The illustration on this page shows
the steelwork in place for the new
greenhouse, 50x350 feet, now being com-
pleted for the Montgoihery Co., Hadley,
Mass. This house is to be planted to
roses and is of the latest type of steel
construction, the steelwork designed in
accordance with rules of standard engi-
neering practice. Strength is not sacri-
ficed for lightness of construction; at the
same time there is less actual shade cast
than in older types of greenhouses. This
is chiefly due to the fact that the large
supporting arches are spaced twelve
feet six inches center to center, whereas
in older types of steel houses the arches
are spaced eight feet four inches.
There are eight 4-foot benches.

Considerable interest is being shown
in this particular house and a class of
students from Amherst, led by Prof.
Nehrling, is shown in the illustration,
making a study of greenhouse construc-
tion. The John C. Moninger Co., of
Chicago, has the contract to furnish
materials and erection of the entire
structure, A. Hammarstrom, manager
of the New York branch, representing
the company in the transaction.

A BEBGER WEDDING.

A Caxte Blanche Affair.

An exceedingly handsome home wed-
ding decoration was arranged at Fox
Chase, Pa., June 7, by William Berger
Sons, of Germantown, Pa.

The decorations were under the per-
sonal supervision of Louis Berger, who
occupied the position of the trusted
lawyer to his client^ Everything was
left in Mr, Berger 's hands. He origi-
nated, planned and submitted his esti-
mate, with sketch. The estimate ac-
cepted, he carried every detail into suc-
cessful reality. It required three days
of hard work for a force of men to
complete the job, besides the prelimi-
nary arrangements.

The house is a large suburban resi-
dence, surrounded by a large porch and
spacious grounds. The front door opens
into a wide hall of considerable depth,
with a broad stairway, leading to the
second floor, in the rear. This hall was
transformed into a rose garden and rose
arbor. Long sprays of Tausendschon
roses were trained up the sides and
over the ceiling above. White peonies
of great size were added to add to the
effect. With the peonies were beds of
the pale blue larkspur. Delphinium
Belladonna, covering screens that were
used to partly conceal the orchestra.

It was an early evening wedding and
the crowning glory of the hall deco-
ration was the varicolored electric
fountain, the water rising to a height
of five feet and falling back into a pool
surrounded by the lovely, pale blue
larkspurs. The newel post at the f«ot
of the stairway was surmounted by a
gorgeous bunch of over 100 American
Beauty roses. As the guests ascended
the tastefully decorated stairway, the
fountain afforded a different and no
less beautiful view from the landing
at the rear. From this point of van-
tage the falling water, with its colored
lights and around it graceful sprays
of yellow orchids, was charming.

In the Dining Room.

The dining room opened on the left
of the hall. Walls and ceiling alike
were embowered in pink peonies; sev-
eral shades of pink with mountain
laurel to soften the effect, the danger
of heaviness being avoided by skillful
use of material. The center of the din-
ing room was occupied by a heart-
shaped table, made expressly for the
occasion. On this heart-shaped table,
perhaps ten feet wide, was an espe-
cially made heart-shaped basket thirty
inches in diameter. This basket was
filled with Ward roses and graceful pink
snapdragons. To the sides of this cen-
tered heart-shaped basket were five
smaller baskets, also heart-shaped. They
were filled with Sweetheart roses and
yellow orchids. The dining room deco-
ration was finished with many tiny
electric lights that sparkled from among
the flowers and foliage on the walls and

from the ceiling above. Bows of rib-
bon were used on the heart-shaped
table, which was laid in buffet style.

Bayersdorfer Aida Berger.

The room where the wedding cere-
mony was performed was the scene of
the most splendid floral arrangement.
The room consisted of two rooms thrown
into one, equaling in size the hall and
dining room combined, about 22x45
feet. Across the upper end was a broad
bank of Easter lilies. Then^ came a
space for the clergyman who was to
perform the ceremony. In front of this
space was a lightly made reed fence,
twenty-two feet in length and about
three feet high, with gates in the cen-
ter. This fence, made for the wedding
by H. Bayersdorfer & Co., was adorned
with a few choice white peonies, de-
signed to enhance, not to hide, its ap-
pearance. The gates were festooned
with Adiantum gloriosum. Glory of
Mordrecht. The walls and ceilings
were covered with white peonies, with
this difference: The half nearest the

fence, or chancel rail, was of white
peonies only, while in the half farthest
away the white peonies were relieved
by a free use of mountain laurel. The
decorations were put in place by means
of wire frames nearly ten feet high,
reaching from floor to ceiling. These
frames, of perhaps a foot in width,
were nailed to the picture rail at inter-
vals of six feet. With the aid of pock-
ets, the open spaces as well as the
f ramea themselves were completely hid-
den from view by flowers and foliage.
The mantel in the room was banked
with white orchids and just a few pink
sweet peas. An aisle from the stairway
to the chancel was outlined with white
ribbons. Chiffons were used at points
of vantage here and there.

The Bouquets.

There were two extremely handsome
bouquets. The bride's was formed of
lily of the valley and white orchids in
shower; the bridesmaid's of pink sweet
peas.

The wide porch, lighted with elec-
tric lights in many colors, was richly
decorated with snapdragons and peo-
nies; gay colors in pockets and in
boxes, relieved by the deep green of
palms, that formed a stately back-
ground.

Despite the fact that rain prevailed,
the electrical and floral display planned
for the grounds was the most extensive
decoration ever arranged by William
Berger Sons. For its beauty and taste
Louis Berger received many congratu-
lations from the family and their
guests. . . . Phil.

London, England. — It was announced
June 6 that no more permits will be
issued by the British government for
the importation of German goods into
the United States.

Eotterdam, Holland. — When the Hol-
land-America line steamer Noordam ar-
rived here May 28, it was stated the
heavy Dutch, Belgian and German
mail brought from New York had been
taken off the boat at Falmouth by the
British authorities.

London, England. — The Chelsea
show, the largest annual affair in Eng-
land, which opened May 23, was a suc-
cess, although by no means up to ante-
bellum records, exhibits being less nu-
merous, less elaborate and attracting
smaller attendance.

London, England, — Two well-known
British rose growers recently, in the
presence of a trade scribe, were chat-
ting together over the outlook in the
rose world and both expressed the opin-
ion that next season and the year fol-
lowing roses will be more expensive
than has been the case for some years
past. The fact is a good many general
nurserymen were so short-handed last
summer that they budded less than
their usual quantity and, for the same
and similar reasons, they have planted
fewer stocks for the coming season's
budding.

Erfurt, Germany. — Since the seizure
of a large number of parcels of flower
seeds in the mails on board the Scandi-
navian steamer United States it has
been difficult for growers here to main-
tain business connections with Amer-
ican customers, as mails are censored
by the British, both via Rotterdam and
via Copenhagen. All steamers now call
at British ports en route.

Newtownards, Ireland. — "In spite of
the serious difficulties incidental to the
war," says Alex. Dickson & Sons,
Ltd., * ' wq^ have (Jone our utmost to
preserve the continuity of our business
and to develop it upon our accustomed

century we have concentrated our ef-
forts on the evolution of the rose on
scientific lines, and over this long period
we think we may claim to have added
something to the cult year by year."

London, England. — Steps have been
taken to draw the attention of the gov-
ernment to the inconsistency of the or-
der in council of May 10, which pro-
hibits the importation of bulbs except
those grown in France, but does not
prohibit the importation of cut blooms.
The prohibition against bulbs includes
those grown in Japan, Guernsey and
Holland, thus depriving British grow-
ers of the profits of flowering the
bulbs, handing that profit over to the
shippers of cut blooms.

OR BONE MEAL?

WH7 ACID PHOSPHATE LEADS.

Its Action Quick.

H, E. Humiston, in an article in The
Eeview for May 18, entitled "Building
Up Our Soils," while expressing his
personal opinion that the use of bone
meal is preferable to that of acid phos-
phate, has stated two qualities in which
acid phosphate is superior to bone meal.

That acid phosphate acts more quick-
ly than bone meal, is a fact which rests
on a sound chemical basis and is borne
out by numerous comparative experi-
ments, reports of which make up a con-
siderable portion of the agricultural
literature of the last two decades. And
its rapidity of action has a greater prac-
tical significance to the florist than to
any other agriculturist, since a layer
of soil in the bench five or six inches
in depth is used as a home for the plant
roots, and changing the soil wholly or
largely every year forces us to use
every means of drawing from it during
that year the maximum amount of nu-
triment for the plant.

The viewpoint of permanent benefit,
which can well be kept in mind in en-
riching the soil in the field, is hardly
one that concerns the florist under con-
ditions of greenhouse practice, so long
as the fertilizer applied can be de-
pended upon to give maximum results
during the limited time in which the
floil-fertilizer mixture remains the basis
of nutrition of the plant.

Safest of Commercial Fertilizers.

Acid phosphate has the advantage not
only of acting more quickly than bone
meal, but is safer to use. In the course
of rose growing during the last three
years, I have applied to the soil mix-
ture more than a pound and a half of
commercial acid phosphate to every foot
of soil in a 5-inch bench, equivalent to
more than thirty-five tons of it per
acre, with at most only slight indica-
tion of injury to the plants. Surely
among commercial fertilizers there is
not one, unless ground limestone be in-
cluded in the list, for which the same
guarantee of safety can be given. At
the same time, it is not my purpose to
advocate the use of acid phosphate in
preference to that of bone meal, but to
supplement Mr. Humiston 's opinion
with our eight years of experience with
acid phosphate. Choice between the
two is a question of whether the fiorist
is willing to accustom himself or his
men to the use of a new fertilizer and
of the relative price of phosphorus in
the two fertilizers.

If acid phosphate containing seven
per cent phosphorus sells for $14 per
ton and bone meal containing fourteen
per cent phosphorus sells at $28 per
ton, the price per pound of phosphorus
— 140 and 280 pounds per ton respec-
tively— is the same, the odds, so far as
freight is concerned, being in favor of
the bone meal, and, in consideration of
the more rapid action of acid phos-

phate, somewhat in favor of that fer-
tilizer. The calculation is equally sim-
ple for any content and price of the
two fertilizers. The introduction of
acid phosphate into the list of fer-
tilizers applicable to greenhouse use en-
larges possible sources of fertilizer
available to florists, thus keeping in
step with the rapid advance of the
floricultural industry in this country.

Permanent Benefits Not Essential.

Neither acid phosphate nor bone meal
puddles the soil; acid phosphate causes
it to become so pulverulent that proper
drying and satisfactory drainage condi-
tions are greatly promoted by its use.
This third advantage from the use of
acid phosphate, the effect on the phys-
ical properties of the soil, is one of im-
portance to the florist.

Commercial acid phosphate contains
some fifty per cent of gypsum, which is
known to hasten the decomposition of
organic matter in the soil and so result
in stimulation to plant growth. Where
immediate benefits of fertilizing are re-
quired, not effects of several years'
duration, stimulation of the soil is con-
sistent with good floricultural practice.

I am heartily in sympathy with Mr.
Humiston 's remarks regarding the ad-
vantage of applying animal manures,
apart from their strict fertilizing value.
Not only may organic matter be ap-
plied in this form to good advantage,

but the preparation of the soil in the
field by green manuring with legume
crops is, I believe, the cheapest and a
most satisfactory method of supplying
the soil which is intended for green-
house use with organic matter and rap-
idly available nitrogenous constituents.
I do not believe, however, that sufficient
phosphate for a good rose soil can be
applied by either method, but recourse
must be had to commercial fertilizers.

Umestone as a Top-Dressing.

In stating the benefits from applica-
tions of limestone, or carbonate of lime,
Mr. Humiston shows a thorough knowl-
edge of soils and of the function of
limestone, with the exception that one
disadvantage of applications of lime is
omitted, a disadvantage that in all
probability outweighs the advantages
which he has named. This is, that
where phosphate is in the form of cal-
cium compound the addition of lime-
stone tends to a marked degree to cause
it to assume an insoluble form, which
cannot be used by the plant.

In rose soils, where phosphate is add-
ed in the form of either bone meal or
acid phosphate, both of which are phos-
phates of calcium, it is the phosphate
of calcium that is depended upon to a
large extent to supply the plants, and
not phosphates of iron and alumina.
So that the use of limestone as a means
of releasing phosphate under these cir-
cumstances can hardly be recommended.
And I have found that limestone, when
mixed thoroughly with the soil, does
decrease the production of roses. At
the same time, limestone is of benefit
in neutralizing too great an acidity of
the soil and preventing fungous growths
on its surface. For this purpose lime-
stone should be applied as top-dressings
from time to time. This is the practice
I would regard as a judicious use of
limestone. F. W. Muncie.

THE ROSE FESTIVAL.

Tenth Annual Fete Best of All.

The tenth annual celebration of Port-
land's June festival began at 6 p. m.,
June 6; and continued until the eve-
ning of June 9.

The opening of the floral center and
crowning of the queen and king were
the features of the first day. The school
children's parade and dedication of the
Columbia highway June 7, the deco-
rated vehicle parade June 8 and indus-
trial parade June 9 were the main
events.

For the third time in four years the
decorated vehicle winning the grand
prize was the product of Clarke Bros.'
Outdoor roses were not so abundant
as usual and were not used so exten-
sively.

The car decorated with Gorgeous car-
nations by the Martin & Forbes Co.

won first prize in the class of private
vehicles. The weather was perfect and
all the events of the festival were
viewed by record-breaking crowds. It is
estimated that more than 400,000 peo-
ple entered the floral center during the
festival.

The Floral Center.

This year, for the second time, the
Portland Floral Society cooperated with
the festival governors in establishing
a floral center, in which all sorts of
flowers and plants were exhibited.
James O. Convill, superintendent of
parks and one of the festival gov-
ernors, was placed in charge of the
center and given authority to enlarge
it and make it the chief feature of the
festival. The accepted plan covered
the two park blocks used last year and,
in addition, the streets along both
sides. The Floral Society was repre-
sented by its committee on exhibitions.

The Florists' Review

JCMI 16, 1916.

James Forbes, chairman. F. A. Van
Kirk was added to the committee and
acted as its secretary. Julius Dossche
was selected to act as the executive
member of the committee and was ap-
pointed assistant by Mr. Convill, in
order that the designing and construct-
ing of the center would be his work.
The success of the center is largely due
to his ability and industry.

Soon after the first of the year plans
for the center were completed and ac-
cepted by the festival governors and
by the society's committee, and con-
tracts were let to growers for materials
to fill the plats. Over 184,000 potted
plants were required, besides consider-
able stock in flats. The main beds were
paid for at the rate of 15 cents per
square foot and the trade beds at 7%
cents. The beds were built up of wet
sawdust, and after plunging the- pots
were covered with sand. Pansies and
some of the border plants were lifted
from flats and did good service. The
entire center covered about two acres,
comprising 27,000 square feet of beds
and eight booths.

Six of the booths were occupied by
community exhibits of cut outdoor
roses, entered in competition. The
women's clubs distributed free roses to
wear from the other two.

The Bose Fountain.

The chief attraction was located in
the street intervening between the two
blocks. It was the rose fountain, sur-
rounded by beds of roses and tubs of
standard roses. The fountain was thir-
ty-five feet high and illuminated by
about 1,800 electric bulbs, operated to
produce a shower-like effect. The stand-
ard roses also held lights. More than
400 potted Dorothy Perkins roses, in 8
to 12-inch pots, were used, besides sueh
varieties as Lady Gay and Tausend-
schon. Forty standard rambler and 200
Ulrich Brunner roses in pots were used
alongside the promenades and at the
street ends. There were two beds of
Ophelia roses along the north prome-
nade and two beds of mixed roses along
the south promenade. Two beds of
mixed newer varieties in the street com-
pleted the rose setting for the fountain.
The effect at night was specially at-
tractive.

Members of the Floral Society who
prepared exhibits feel that this outdoor
flower show is much more effective in
drawing the attention of the public to
the decorative value of flowers than is
an indoor show, and, though the ex-
pense is considerably more than the
compensation, they expressed their wish
to take part again, if the center feature
is repeated.

The Exhibitors.

The following were exhibitors: The
Bahn & Herbert Co., spirseas, coleus,
snapdragons; the Wilson, Grout & Gehr
Co., cannas and geraniums; O. E. Pan-
zer, fuchsias and bedding stock; Clarke
Bros., cannas. Pelargonium Easter
Greeting, coleus, calceolarias, snapdrag-
ons, lantanas, marigolds, mixed roses,
hydrangeas, stocks and heliotropes; G.
Indermuhle, nursery stock; August
Zitzewitz, cannas, geraniums, coleus and
Ulrich Brunner roses; Niklas & Son,
miscellaneous stock; the Tonseth Floral
Co., dahlias, hydrangeas and geraniums;
the Van Kirk Floral Co., new seedling
geranium, Old Glory; the Eoutledge
Seed & Floral Co., Canna Portland; the
Scott-Wood Co., red geraniums; the

Mountain View Floral Co., tubbed peo-
nies and hydrangeas, wistarias, roses
and the festival slogan in an alter-
nanthera border; Max M. Smith, mis-
cellaneous stock; the Martin & Forbes
Co., Ophelia roses, rhododendrons, hardy
asters and snapdragons; John Zimmer-
man, perennials; E. J. Steele, Mastodon
pansies; the Swiss Floral Co., miscella-
neous stock, purple and mixed petunias
and pink Pride of Portland petunias;
iT. B. Pilkington, tubbed ornamentals,
flowering shrubs and newer roses; the
Holden Floral Co., cannas and most of
the potted and standard roses used in
the fountain and promenades; George
Goos, hydrangeas and miscellaneous
stock; Zimmerman Bros., perennials;
the Willamette Dahlia Co., dahlias and
miscellaneous stock; Russellville Nur-
sery, ornamentals. S. W. W,

MOTT-LY MUSINGS.

The Storrs & Harrison Co., of Paines-
ville, O., has been badly handickpped
by the late season and the freight
embargo. However, it is expected the
total business will equal, if not sur-

pass, the best record. An example of
the great strides made in labor-saving
machinery was shown to me by Ben.
George, who explained the workings of
a 12-horsepower tractor, which has
"fitted" 200 acres of nursery land
this season, saving the work of ten
horses and several men. It is pro-
posed to purchase a still larger ma-
chine. "We can easily find use for
another," observed Mr. George. E.
George spoke about the marked in-
crease in calls for hardy stock; many
orders may have to be carried over.
Hardy Ghent azaleas are in high favor.
The seed and bulb departments have
done well.

The L. C. Hecock Floral Co., of
Elyria, O., is located some distance
back from the main thoroughfare, but
has a splendid frontage, which, while
only recently cultivated, is a foretaste
of what it will be later. An approach
of about 1,000 feet is bordered with
Bose Crimson Bambler, planted last
season. It is strong stock and will
soon make a grand showing. At the
store some artistic funeral work was
noted. W. M.

BOSES AT ABLINOTON.

The long delayed scoring of the roses
at the Arlington trial gardens main-
tained by the government in coopera-
tion with the American Eose Society,
was accomplished Jtfne 12, when a, com-
mittee consisting of Adolph Gude, chair-
man; George H. Hess, superintendent
United States Botanic Gardens, and
George E. Anderson, superintendent of
Twin Oaks, accompanied by Prof. F. L.
Mulford, landscape gardener of the De-
partment of Agriculture, who is in
direct charge of the gardens, and the
correspondent of The Eeview, inspected
more than 100 varieties and scored
thirty-three.

Unlike the trips made by the mem-
bers of the American Rose Society, this
visit to the gardens was under the best
conditions, except that hail June 10 had
damaged some of the plants. Only
such plants as showed characteristic
bloom were scored, the scoring being on
the basis of: Flojiferousness, 20; vigor,
20; color, 15; size, 15; form, 10; sub-
stance, 10; fragrance, 10.

When the members of the American
Eose Society gathered in Washington
some time ago it was found impossible
to do this work and accordingly William
F. Gude was directed to appoint a com-
mittee of men versed in rose culture to

act as the official scoring committee of

the society, and it was in pursuance of

these instructions that the judging was

done at this time. The scoring resulted
as follows:

The Florists^ Review

19

NEW YORK.

The Market.

June 12 gave us the first glimpse of
the Bun in five days. Such weather was
bad for the cut flower business, but the
rain and chill brought profit to the
seedsmen, the plant-auction houses and
nurserymen still filling late orders.

In the wholesale cut flower section
peonies dominated. The cold storage
walls are bulging with the thousands in
reserve and cellars and iceboxes are
tightly packed. The flood of peonies
will end this week and the clean-up
should materialize Saturday. It was a
harvest for the department stores, the
florists with chain stores and the side-
walk and peddling merchants, the latter
carting the flowers around and dispos-
ing of them at "a centa each" in all
parts of the city.

There are few good American Beau-
ties. These sell readily at 25 cents.
The best Hadleys are firm at 20 cents,
Brunner and Prima Donna at 15 cents.
The other popular roses have maintained
the quotations of a week ago, Double
White Killarney and Ophelia being
most in demand. The short-stemmed
and lower grades of roses sell at from
$2 down to 75 cents per hundred, and
even lower in thousand lots.

The close of last week found a larger
orchid supply than was demanded and
prices fell to 25 cents for selected gigas.
Longiflorums were selling at $3 per hun-
dred June 10. The best valley touched
$4 per hundred. It was the only scarce
article. The quality of carnations is
deteriorating rapidly and only the best
blooms sell above $1 per hundred.

Some grand sweet peas were offered
last week at prices far below their
actual value. The Spencers are long-
stemmed and perfect. Most of the in-
ferior shipments go out to sea, together
with the overripe peonies. The usual
variety of summer flowers is seen, espe-
cially daisies, gladioli, irises, stocks and
pansies. Great quantities of cut
branches of ramblers are in all the
wholesale windows.

Club Meeting.

June 12 the final meeting of the club
for the season took place in its rooms
in the Grand Opera House building,
President Weston in the chair. Next
year's flower show committee was an-
nounced as follows: Charles Weath-
ered, chairman; F. H. Traendly, Charles
H. Totty, William Duckham, Max
Schling, G. E. M. Stumpp, L. F. Eeuter,
H. Weston, John Young and Wallace
Pierson. A meeting of this committee
and that of the Horticultural Society
is scheduled for June 19.

Chairman A. L. Miller's report of
the 1916 spring exhibition showed total
receipts of $41,721.76 and total expenses
of $10,305.55, leaving a profit of $31,-
416.21. One-half of this amount went
to the Grand Central Palace, leaving
$15,708.11 to be divided between the
Florists' Club and the Horticultural
Society.

The secretary read Mr. Totty 's re-
port and communications from railroads
and steamer lines with regard to the
route to the S. A. F. convention at
Houston, cost of the trip averaging be-
tween $80 and $85. The majority fa-
vored the all-water trip.

Anticipating the visit of the S. A. F.
in 1917, the committee announced the
certainty of securing the Grand Central
Palace or Madison Square Garden for

OEOBOE W. CRAWBUCK.

IF ever you are feeling down-in-the-mouth, out of sorts, not sure that a better
day is coming, just drop in at 57 West Twenty-eighth street, New York, and
scrape acquaintance with George W. Crawbuck, natural born optimist, believer in
humanity and ardent advocate for the flower business. Mr. Crawbuck has only
recently moved over from Brooklyn, but that makes no difference — he was as full
of enthusiasm during all his eight years as manager of the Greater New York
Florists' Association, at the other end of the big bridge, as he is now; in fact, it is
the enthusiasm that accounts for the recently organized George W. Crawbuck Co.,
named for its president, with Herbert T. Phillips as vice-president and secretary
and H. W. Gallaer treasurer.

the trade exhibition and the meetings.
A communication was read from Dr.
Britton, of the New York Horticultural
Society, with reference to the conven-
tion garden, looking to its location in
Bronx park and its being made a per-
manent feature there. H. A. Bunyard
announced that an available site can be
secured in Pelham Bay park.

Nicholas Butterback and George
Cohan were elected to membership.
Mr. Kenna, a new member, pledged
loyalty.

Arthur Herrington gave an interest-
ing address on the International Gar-
den Club's exhibition last week at Pel-
ham Bay park.

W. C. Rickards spoke in behalf of
the dahlia show at the rooms of the
American Institute in September, and
Secretary Bunyard for the meeting of
the Sweet Pea Society at Bar Harbor
July 12 or 15, where $3,000 will be
given in prizes.

The next meeting will be September
11.

Various Notes.

at auction headquarters last week from
the Flatbush, L. I., and Jersey growers.
This is about the last opportunity to
dispose of surplus stock. There is a
probability that plant auctions will con-
tinue until July.

A large shipment of cycas plants from
Bermuda was received at the MacNifE
Horticultural Co. rooms last week.

George Vocke, at one time gardener
for Ludwig Nessen and the Brooklyn
navy yard, died recently at his home
in Brooklyn. He was 66 years of age
and some years ago operated green-
houses at Dutch Hills, N. Y. His wife,
three sons and three daughters survive.

June 21 is field day at the A. N. Pier-
son establishment, at Cromwell, Conn.
New York will be well represented.

The retail florists who have opened
summer branches this season at New-
port are Wadley & Smythe, Bunyard,
J. G. Leikens. and Armstrong. At
Southampton, L. I., G. E. M. Stumpp is
already busy.

Samuel Woodrow opens his branch at
Narragansett Pier, R. I., July 1, with
Miss Florence Cadieuz in charge. Mr.
Woodrow and family will spend July
and August in the Catskills.

Daniel E. Weage, a peony grower of
Coldwater, Mich., was a visitor last
week.

July 6 is the day chosen for the
Greek- American Florists' Association's
tenth annual outing at Witzel's grove,
College Point, L. I. The steamer Ajax
will carry the crowd. Tickets may be
had at the stores of George Cotsonas,
103 West Twenty-eighth street, and J.
J. Fellouris, 116 West Twenty-eighth
street. The price is $3 for adults and
$1 for children.

Miss Adelaide Callahan, bookkeeper
for Joseph S. Fenrich, was married
June 14 to John McLaughlin at the
church of Our Lady of Good Counsel.
The bride will resume her place in the
office on her return from her honey-
moon.

The George W. Crawbuck Co. has
added an auto to its delivery depart-
ment, the Brooklyn trade demanding it.

The new manager and secretary of
the Greater New York Florists' Asso-
ciation, Brooklyn, is F. G. Van Mater.

Pitot & Marcres, retail florists, now
have eight stores or hotel branches in
New York. L. Constant, formerly of
their force of salesmen, is participating
in the European war.

The stork left another boy June 9
at the residence of A. Tishman, who is
salesman for George C. Siebrecht.

Guttman & Eaynor say there has been
a great demand for 3-year-old rose
plants.

W. A. Sutherland has been appointed
eastern representative of S, D. Wood-
ruff & Sons. Mr. Sutherland was for-
merly with the Leonard Seed Co.

Among the visitors last week was
A. E. Kunderd, of Goshen, Ind.

J. Austin Shaw.

WASHINQTON, D. C.

The Mai^et.

Business is holding up remarkably
well and the stores are receiving some
good decorative orders for weddings and
school commencements. In addition,
there is the usual demand for cut flow-
ers, and funeral work is heavier than it
has been.

Carnations are good, considering the
season, for usually at this time of the

year they are of little value. They
bring from $5 per thousand up to $2
and $3 per hundred, according to qual-
ity. There has been a good demand for
American Beauty roses at $3 per dozen.
Eoses of all kinds are moving well. Some
fine America gladioli are offered at $6
to $8 per hundred and the sale of these
has been satisfactory. The season is
practically over for white and yellow
daisies and, although as fine as one
could desire, those now coming in are
hanging fire. Indoor sweet peas are
exceptionally good, holding their own
as to quality, and they are moving well.
Usually at this time of the year sweet
peas are in the discard.

This season the local growers enjoyed
exceptional business on peonies. Due
to the lateness of the season in the
north, the shipping orders were heavier
than ever before. Buyers came here in
the hope of being able to make pur-
chases, but the growers were tied up
with more orders than they could really
hope to fill. Prices remain good through-
out, and had there been more peonies
the sale and price would still have re-
mained as good as they were. This,
however, would not warrant increasing
the production next year, as it is felt
that the increased demand was due
wholly to climatic conditions. There
still are some local peonies to be had,
but the north is having its turn now in
shipping into this market. The north-
ern peonies are bringing $4 to $6 per
hundred.

There are plenty of small flowers, all
of which are of good quality. Mig^non-
ette is as fine as at any time during
the season; pansies, forget-me-nots and
other flowers of similar type are good,
but none are in special demand.

A severe rain storm June 10, accom-
panied by hailstones up to three-quar-
ters of an inch in diameter, did consid-
erable damage to outdoor stock. More
than one and a half inches of rain fell
in an hour. Plants were beaten down
and some glass was broken. The north-
east section of the city and Anacostia
were hardest hit.

Club Meeting.

Plans for the entrance of the mem-
bers of the Florists' Club in the pre-
paredness parade June 14 were dis-
cussed at the monthly meeting of the
club at 1214 F street, northwest, June
6. Harry B. Lewis was designated
chairman of the committee charged with
carrying out the provisions of the reso-
lution unanimously adopted at the meet-
ing, under which the club would be
largely represented. Several of the
members present stated that they would
have their employees in line, and C. A.
Jackson stated that rose growers of
Petworth were anxious to participate
with the florists. It was estimated that
the trade would have 250 marchers.

Captain W. H. Ernest rendered a re-
port for the outing committee, of which
he is the chairman, stating that the an-
nual event will take place at Great
Falls, Va., July 19. By reason of sub-
scriptions said to have been pledged,
the committee will be able to keep the
price of the tickets down to 50 cents
each and still offer refreshments. There
will be the usual number of prizes in
the athletic events.

The regret of the members at the
death of Gottlieb Supper, formerly with
George C. Shaffer, and their sympathy
for his widow, Mrs. Nettie Supper,
found expression during the meeting.

Various Notes.

Henry Witt, George C. Shaffer, Fred
H. Kramer, Alex. B. Garden and the
Gude Bros Co. were represented in the
floral automobile celebration at Ana-
costia last week. Adolph Gude was one
of the assistant marshals of the parade.
The festivities were marred to a con-
siderable extent by a heavy rain storm.
One of the Gude Bros. Co. floats fea-
tured the Florists' Telegraph Delivery.
At either end were telegraph posts, with
wires strung between. Placards told
of the nature of the display.

R. W. Taylor, of the A. Langhans
store, of Wheeling, W. Va., and C. D.
Miller, of Jacksonville, Fla., were
among the week 's visitors. C. L. L.

Tbe Market.

The disagreeable and cool weather
of last week did not help business any.
The market is glutted with stock and
there is no great rush; in fact, business
is remarkably quiet for this time of the
year. There is plenty of outdoor stock
in the market, tind it, moves slowly.
Peonies, which are much later this year
than last, are becoming plentiful. Some
fine red and white varieties are seen.
Carnations in white and colors are over-
plentiful and are sold cheaply to clear.
Hoses, too, are plentiful; there are more
than the present trade demands. Amer-
ican Beauties are good and sell well.
Outdoor roses are making their appear-
ance. Easter lilies are in good condi-
tion and sell finely, while callas are
slowing up a bit. Valley is unusually
good, including the outdoor-grown stock,
but the demand is not so large as usual.
A few tulips are seen, but they are
about over for the season. Sweet peas
are plentiful and some fine varieties are
seen. Pink and white sell in preference
to other colors or shades. The demand
for orchids is not overlarge; some choice
blooms arrive every other day. Ten
weeks' stocks are used extensively in
basket and funeral work. Yellow and
white daisies, bachelor's buttons, myo-
sotis and baby primroses are used large-
ly for decorative purposes. Palms and
ferns, as well as good hydrangeas, are
selling fairly well. Bedding plants and
hanging baskets are moving satisfac-
torily.

Various Notes.

The secretary of the Rochester Flo-
rists' Association announces that at the
next monthly meeting the members will
be addresses by John Dunbar, assistant
superintendent of parks.

The Aster Candy and Flower Store
reports business as being good. The
force has been busy with bouquet work.

The Shakespeare pageant held at Ex-
position park was in every way a
marked success. Some of the florists se-
cured bouquet orders for this event.

Schuyler Arnold, of the Crescent Seed
Farm, says that business is more than
good. He has been busy with bedding
stock and much planting has been ac-
complished of late on his seed farm.

June 10, Rochester had the largest
parade ever held in this city. Nearly
35,000 people were in line. Decorated
with flags and accompanied by many
bands, they showed that they were for
national preparedness. To celebrate the
occasion, florists decorated their win-
dows and store fronts with bunting, etc.

OBITUARY

J. M. Fox.

J. M. Fox, founder of the business
J. M. Fox & Son, of Milwaukee, passed
away at his home June 7. His son,
J. F., who had charge of the flower
department, will continue the business.

Nicholas Kruchteu.

While riding in a friend's automo-
bile the night of June 13, Nicholas
Kruchten, Jr., 5308 North Western ave-
nue, secretary of the John Kruchten Co.,
wholesale florists, Chicago, met a most
untimely death. The car in which he
was seated was going west in Lawrence
avenue at high speed and struck a steel
upright at the river bridge approach,
overturning on its occupants. Mr.
Kruchten died shortly after being re-
moved from the wreck. The two other
occupants of the car were severely in-
jured.

Mr. Kruchten was a native of Chi-
cago, 29 years of age, and had been
married five years. He began working
in the greenhouses of his father, N. J.
Kruchten, 5308 North Western avenue,
at an early age, and continued there un-
til March, 1916, when he became secre-
tary of the John Kruchten Co., of which
his brother is president.

The deceased is survived by his wife,
Dolly, both parents and two brothers.

Elias A. Seymour.

Elias A. Seymour, florist and gar-
dener of Herkimer, N. Y., since 1877,
died unexpectedly of a stroke of paral-
ysis on the evening of Memorial day.
The deceased, who retired from busi-
ness a number of years ago, was born
at Paris Hill, N. Y., in 1846. He is
survived by his wife and four children.

Mrs. G. M. Brldgef ord.

The friends of G. M. Bridgeford, at
Eagle Bock, Los Angeles, Cal., were
greatly shocked by the entirely unex-
pected announcement of the death of
Mrs. Bridgeford, which occurred June 5.
She was apparently well when her hus-
band and daughter left, as usual, for
town, but on their return they found
her dead. Mrs. Bridgeford was truly
a home woman, seldom going away from
there, but always giving a hearty wel-
come to visitors. She will indeed be
sadly missed, both by her husband and
daughter, to whom she was devoted. In-
terment was at Glendale, June 8. A
large number of beautiful floral pieces
were sent to the funeral. . H. R. R.

GRAND RAPIDS, MICH.

The Market.

As usual, weddings have greatly in-
creased business this month. Business
along other lines is keeping up well.
Peonies are to be had in quantity and
are of good quality. Gladioli are show-
ing up well. Sweet peas, snapdragons,
etc., continue to be of desirable quality,
a condition attributed to the cool
weather that has prevailed. School
graduations have started and for a time
will help to increase business.

The average verdict is that Memorial
day business this year was not what
could be called a "rush." The reason

therefor is said to be the large quan-
tity of outdoor flowers available. Many
had plenty of stock left.

Various Notes.

Arthur F. Crabb was busily occupied
with wedding and funeral orders last
week.

Henry Smith had some extra fine gla-
dioli to offer.

Alfred Hannah has been exceedingly
busy with church decorations and Miss
Hartnett had a good week of bouquets
for weddings.

The Crescent Avenue Floral Co. haa
purchased an Overland delivery car.

Eli Cross is cutting about 2,000 peo-
nies per day. A. F. C.

HOUSTON, TEXAS.

Various Notes.

W. T. Hauser, of the Houston Floral
Co., is busy getting another house ready
to plant roses. He has four houses in
now; two he is carrying over another
year; one he is going to throw out for
this season; one house of young plants
and another he is going to plant later.
His outside stock is looking well, al-
though his gladioli are beginning to
burn on account of the extremely hot
weather. Several panes of glass were
broken by high wind the early part of
the week. Dead limbs were blown from

trees near the north end of his houses
onto the glass. Because the August
storm blew down several houses, his
spray green has been cut pretty clo,sely
and the plumosus and Sprengeri are just
beginning to grow after a severe winter
cut. He has had a successful calla cut
this year but it is over for the season.

The Glenwood Florists have had a
good spring business, with considerable
funeral work, and now there are a few
wedding decorations.

Mrs. F. L. Cotney, of the Cotney
Floral Co., while not doing decorating
this year on account of the severe loss
in the storm last August, says business
has been good all spring but is begin-
ning to slack up now. A few tuberoses
are being cut and in another week or
ten days there will be plenty of them.

Mr. Carlisle, of Carlisle & Son, of
Alvin, Tex., was in town June 10 with
some nice America and Mrs. King
gladioli. He says cape jasmine trade
was exceptionally good this year.

C. L. Brock is having exceptionally
fine luck in moving trees on Main street,
which is being widened about eight feet
to make a boulevard to Bellaire, about
nine miles, which when completed will
be one of the finest in the south. Some
of the live oaks are as much as ten
inches in diameter and have been
planted fifteen or twenty years. He is
moving some of them with as much as
ten or more tons of soil on the roots
and so far has not lost one. G. R. L.

Jackson, Miss. — The southwest cy-
clone that cut a 200-foot path of ruin
through the city on the morning of
June 6 is reported to have completely
demolished the range of the McKay
Floral Co.

Paducah, Ky. — After an absence of
fourteen years from his native home,
John Van Aart, the Broadway florist,
will sail June 17 from New York on
the steamer Ryndam, for Lisse, Holland,
to visit his mother and brothers. Mr.
Van Aart expected to visit H. H. Cade,
of Youngstown, O., and Joseph Thomas,
of Greensburg, Pa., en route to New
York.

Richmond, Va. — Richmond is to have
a new wholesaler. Fritz Sitterding, a
prominent financier of the city, has pur-
chased the business, stock, fixtures, etc.,
of Ratcliffe & Tanner, who have been
in the hands of receivers. Mr. Sit-
terding paid $20,000 for the business,
which includes fourteen greenhouses
and considerable stock. Eight acres
are embraced in the purchase and Mr.
Sitterding will erect two large houses
this summer, making a total of sixteen
houses to be operated by the new or-
ganization. The concern will continue
to be known as Ratcliffe & Tanner, Inc.
Frederick Sitterding, son of the owner,
and E. L. Tanner, former joint owner,
are oflScers. An up-to-date wholesale
establishment will be opened shortly.

Chicopee, Miss. — A new automobile
truck on its maiden trip ran amuck here
recently and crashed into the green-
house of William Paul. Then it con-
tinued on its mad journey until brought
to a sudden stop by Mr. Paul 's benches.
The framework and glass of the house
were considerably damaged, but the
driver of the car said he would make
good the loss.

Birmingham, Ala.— One of the finest
appointed flower stores in the city is
the floral department owned and oper-
ated by the Greene Drug Co. in con-
nection with its drug business, in the
Empire building. John A. Lambert is
manager of the department, which is
an important part of the "famous floor
below." An orchestra furnishes music
three hours daily; there is a rest room
for tired shoppers, telephone booths and
many other features that nowadays are
included under the general head of
"customers' service." J. C. Greene
was the founder of the business, and
everything is done in green — carpets,
draperies, flower pot covers, flower
boxes, tags and ribbons, even the de-
livery boys are outfitted in green. Mr.
Lambert says that his department and
the "fioor below" are the talk of the
town and that business is brisk. If
any of the local florists are looking for
a few ideas on what's what in art and
store distinctiveness, they should drop
in and examine Mr. Lambert's stand.

Besults bring advertising.
The Heview brings result.

The growers of sweet peas under glass
have had an excellent season, possibly the
best since the sweet pea became an im-
portant greenhouse crop.

A FLORIST in New England recently
wrote to The Eeview to ask, ' ' How can I
send flowers by telegraph ? ' ' And yet
most of the retailers seem to suppose the
public knows all about it!

That fad for canary birds in flower
stores struck us at the wrong time. Be-
cause the war shut off the Harz mountains
supply, good singers are hard to get at
from two to four times normal prices.

The plantsmen should not complain.
Although the spring bedding season was
right on the heels of Easter and many
did not have their crops ready, a benign
Providence postponed much of the de-
mand two or three weeks, thereby letting
the growers get ready.

Apparently the geranium stocks
through the country are badly mixed.
Dozens of inquiries reach The Keview
each season from subscribers who want
to ascertain the name of some variety
that has appeared in a batch of some-
thing else. And naming geraniums from
a fragmentary specimen is not without
its difficulties!

One of the features of the replanting
season with the rose growers has been the
ready sale for the old plants cleared from
the benches. Not so many years ago these
went to the brush heap and were burned,
but now there is a sale at good prices for
bench plants of whatever variety. This
season the demand, from seed stores and
florists who sell beddiirg stock, was
greater than the supply.

HONORABLE MENTION.

selves the bother of annual renewal by

times $5, instead of the dollar bill that

QUICK ACTION.

If you have a surplus do not wait
until the season is over before you try
to clean up. True, there is a Eeview
reader somewhere who is pretty sure
to be looking for the stock whenever
you want to let it go, but now is the
time to get quick action. Like this:

Please omit our pelargonium and fern ads, as
one Insertion sold out 2500 plants. — Helnl &
Weber, Terre Haute, Ind., June 12, 1916.

Please discontinue our ad for feverfew, as the
two Insertions sold every plant we had. Orders
came from near-by New Jersey and from far-away
Maine and Tennessee. — L. M. Smith & Co., Lau-
rel, Del., June 7, 1916.

When you hear a man complain of

the cost of advertising you can be

pretty sure he spends a good bit of

money elsewhere than in The Review.

THE PHILADELPHIA SUCCESS.

Treasurer W. F. Kasting has mailed
to those who guaranteed the National
Flower Show checks refunding the sums
advanced, which were half the amounts
subscribed, together with twenty per
cent additional. The checks were ac-
companied by the following letter:

The gratifying result of the recent Fourth
National Flower Show at Philadelphia has en-
abled the committee. In behalf of the Society of
American Florists, to return to the guarantors
a ten per cent profit on the full amount of
money subscribed to the guarantee fund, instead
of the ten per cent of tihe amount paid as per
call. '

The Immensity of the National Flower Show
was such that we feel that thanks are due you
as one of its supporters, and surely the object
is being achieved when 100,000 people view the
fruit of skill and labor of America's most prom-
inent growers and merchants.

Philadelphia has received a horticultural bene-
fit which could not be had by any other means.
One-half million lines of reading matter were
published In the newspapers and magazines, be-
sides the paid advertising. More people paid
admission to this show than to any two llower
thows ever held In this country.

OUR CRATT.

The flower business is a business
based on sentiment, conducted by senti-
mentalists. Few men engage in the
flower business solely because of its
financial rewards and still fewer remain
in it for the one reason that it pays.
The fact is, flowers make their strongest
appeal to men and women of tempera-
ment, as an avocation as well as an ob-
ject of virtu. What more natural, then,
that the cold rules of the unsentimental
business world do not always fit the
needs of a group of temperamentalistsf

But because one has temperament it
is no excuse for the display of temper.
Self-restraint and toleration, a willing-

ness to consider the other man's neces-
sities and viewpoint, are as necessary in
an artist as in a bricklayer. We are
not to consider that because we are tem-
peramental we also always are right;
nor are we privileged to feel that tem-
perament places us above criticism or
releases us from the necessity of meet-
ing such obligations as other men must
meet.

We of the craft are the richer for our
temperament just in so far as we possess
it in addition to the qualities that make
the man in another walk of life.

AMERICAN ROSE SOCIETY.

The rose test garden established by
the American Rose Society at Cornell
University, Ithaca, N. Y., will be
opened for judging by the society
Thursday, June 22. Members are in-
vited to assemble in the offices of the
department of horticulture, Roberts
hall, and to go from there to the gar-
den. The Syracuse Rose Society is
planning to attend in a body. A cor-
dial invitation is extended to all.

Benjamin Hammond, Sec'y.

JOY'S ENJOYMENT.

'Labor of certain classes has been
scarce this spring and growers have
been looking for it in unaccustomed
places. The Joy Floral Co., Nashville,
recently advertised in a Tennessee farm
paper for laborers and a man to run
a steam pump. Some of the applica-
tions were a delight, if they possessed
no other value. Like this one:

Dear sir: I see your Add In Tennesean wanting
2 Labores and man to run steam pump What
will you pay to run your pump. I never have
run a pump but have run steam Engine. I owned
and run an Auto near 4 weaks for hire and had
one puncture and put in 2 felt washers so I
think I could run your pump: how many hours
in day do yon work Would like to hear from
you

The Market.

Though a pronounced shrinkage has
taken place in the volume of business
being done, the Chicago market, taking
it by and large, is in good condition.
To be sure, the long, cold rain the latter
part of last week and the first of this
week caused a sharp recession in local
demand, but it also operated to check
the heavy flow of supply to the market.
A week ago the market was so flooded
with stock of poor quality that the situ-
ation began to assume an unpleasant
aspect, but June 9 and 10 the depart-
ment store buyers appeared on the scene
and the market was practically cleared
of all surplus stock. With the begin-
ning of their activities the market
stiffened perceptibly, and the opening of
this week found a satisfactory, if a
somewhat quiet, market. Commence-

m\i

tomers will like them, will come back for more
and will tell their friends. Specially strong on
Mrs. Russell, Ophelia, Brilliant, Milady, Ward
and White Killarney.

Here's a Nifty Novelty

Did you ever see Bachelor's Buttons in any other color than
blue? Well, we offer a good supply in two shades of pink* and
moderate quantities of other colors. They are fine; 50c to $1.50
per 100.

CARNATIONS

The quality of this crop of Carnations is unusually good for
this time of year — weather conditions have been favorable. Our
supply now is so heavy we can quote the lowest prices of the sea-
son— low prices when you consider the high quality of the stock.

PEONIES

There is, perhaps, greater difference in the value of Peonies
than in any other flower. Given the right varieties, grown and
shipped by men who know how, there is nothing that makes a bet-
ter show for the money; but if from men who never learned the
"how," Peonies are likely to be absolutely worthless by the time the
retailer unpacks them.

Our Peonies are RIGHT in every particular — you'll make good
money on them in your June Wedding and Commencement work.

SPENCER SWEET PEAS

We are headquarters for the best grade of Sweet Peas— a large supply
in all colors. They are the leading corsage flower of the month.

VALLEY FOR THE WEDDINGS

Order Valley of us with the assurance we always can supply
good stock.

merits have a marked effect on demand
this -week, good shipping stock, of
course, being in strongest request.

The Beauty market is practically nil,
as there will be few good ones until the
new crop is on. The cold weather, quite
fortunately, reduced the cut of other
roses to fit the demand. Eussell and
Sunburst are the favorites of the week,
with any good yellow as second choice.
Killarney "Brilliant, too, enjoys a whole-
some demand, as does Ophelia. The cut
from young rose plants is seen here and
there.

Carnations are slipping rapidly,
though the market hardened at the end
of last week. The supply is fair and
the quality is unusually gpod, consider-
ing the fact that these are the decadent
days for this flower. Valley is more
scarce than it has been in many weeks.
Many of the wholesalers, finding it im-
possible to secure valley, are substitut-
ing gypsophila, which is beginning to
come into the market. The preponder-
ance of dark days last week has reduced
the supply of good sweet peas to the
minimum. At best their end is rapidly
approaching. Orchids are at a premium,
with practically no supply. The express
companies refuse orchid shipments in
the east, for Chicago. Lilies are to be
had if one wants them. Yellow daisies
are selling particularly well, while snap-
dragons and calendulas meet with a fair
demand. There are far less gladioli on
the market than is usual at this time of
the year. Gardenias are almost off the
market, and another week will see the
end of the jasmines.

The quality of the peonies coming
into the market this week is much bet-
ter than that of a week ago. Local
crops are being received in splendid
form. The best, of course, goes into
storage at once, but demand is good
enough so that the open flowers have
been kept cleaned up at fair figures.
The peony season will last well into
July this year.

Greens are moving In a highly satis-
factory manner. Good Asparagus plu-
mosus is scarce. So, too, are good ferns.

Clulx Meeting.

With no announced program, the Chi-
cago Florists' Club's meeting of June 8
was not a large one, and adjourned at
an early hour. The following were
elected to membership: Chester P.
Guion, 2730 North California avenue;
W. E. O 'Morrow, 558 Fulton street;
Carl Eisemann, May wood, 111.; John
Ganger, with John Mangel, and Thomas
AV. Head, of Lake Forest, 111.

After some little discussion the club
voted to abandon the annual picnic and
also to adjourn club meetings until
September 7. A communication from
J. F. Ammann, secretary of the Illinois
State Florists' Association, relative to
the flower show to be held in Blooming-
ton, was read, which contained the in-
formation that A. Washburn & Sons, of
Bloomington, had contributed $250 to
the premium fund, and suggested that
further contributions would prove ac-
ceptable.

The final report of the special com-
mittee on the flower show proposition,
as suggested by O. J. Friedman at the
last meeting, has been deferred.

The members will be entertained and
instructed at the September meeting by
the reading of a paper by Allie Zeeh,
of Zech & Mann, on selling flowers
to the department stores.

Various Notes.

A large number of young women sold
carnations and other flowers on the
streets June 9 for the benefit of Willard
hospital. Large quantities of stock
were disposed of, mostly as boutonnieres,
to men who never before in their lives
had bought a flower, so the retail fio-
rists were not hurt beyond such dona-
tions as they made. Most of the stock
was paid for at slightly above the mar-
ket rate.

The newly appointed vice-president
and general manager of the Garland
Mfg. Co., Loyd E. Shirley, has taken
hold of the affairs of that company with
much energy. Among orders recently
booked is one from the United States
government. H. W. Strietelmeier, who
designed the mammoth Davis & Steiner
house, is chief engineer, and Louis Witt-
bold, president of the Geo. Wittbold Co.,
is president.

The public spaces of the Congress
hotel were thronged last week with dele-
gates to the conventions, and O. J.
Friedman reports that the politicians
are remarkably good spenders, having a

Confidence is the Basis of All Business

If you have confidence in your cut flower supply — confidence based on experience — you can safely
promise your customers satisfaction, and, what is much more, you can give them satisfaction. A rep-
utation for giving satisfaction creates confidence in you. And if you gain the confidence of those
who buy from you, your business is an assured success.

By creating and retaining confidence we became the always reliable house we are today.

OPPORTUNITY.

A Pathetic Fallacy.

Foi* years humanity has labored under
the delusion that opportunity knocks
but once. Who ever started that fal-
lacy I'm sure I don't know, but it's
with us, in a very healthy condition,
too. But don't let it disturb you.
Though we do believe in popular gov-
ernment, the good judgment of the
masses, we must admit that the people
are wrong at times. There really are
quite popularly believed untruths. You
know that. But to continue. Do not
feel too badly if you did not order
KENNICOTT'S Quality Cuts last week,
because your chances are not all gone.
See, here we are, chief assistants of
opportunity, knocking again.

An Explanation.

Now, do not misunderstand our use
of the term "knocking." We are not
trying to discredit any of our compet-
itors— they are all well enough in their
way — but the House of Quality Plus —
KENNICOTT BEOS. CO. — for over
thirty years loved and respected by
hundreds in the trade, long recognized
as the first ' ' Carnation House ' ' and the
biggest "Decorative Greens House"
and "Headquarters for Peonies," has
now for the past year been recognized
as "Headquarters for Quality Roses"
as well. The Kennicott Bose Depart-
ment has won much praise from satis-
fied customers. Whyt Because it
handles the stock of quality growers
ONLY.

A Bit of Advlco.

Try some of the famous KENNI-
COTT stock and .iudge it for yourself —
turn not opportunity away. The
House of KENNICOTT is especially
well supplied with the best quality of
Ophelia. Try some. You'll want more.
Suitable for all occasions and every
purpose.

Deal with the House of KENNICOTT
at all times. Whatever you want you
can get it at KENNICOTT'S; then you
will never be disappointed and always
have the opportunity of getting the best
on the market.

ness on Irving Park boulevard as the
North Shore Floral Co., is planning to
enlarge his facilities during the summer
to enable him to handle a steadily in-
creasing trade.

Miss L. A. Tonner, of O. A. & L. A.
Tonner, reports a brisk demand for
wedding accessories.

B. E. Gage and family are summering
at Crystal Lake.

C. W. Outhwaite, of New Iberia, La.,
was a visitor last week, combining busi-
ness with pleasure.

With the passing of the holiday rush,
Max Eingier, of Kennicott Bros. Co.,
has gone on a vacation. He refused to
go last year.

There are ways and ways of adver-
tising. Customers and trade visitors
who chance to drop into the Bohannon
Floral Co., 57 East Monroe street, at
the psychological moment may be en-
tertained with a particularly choice
cigar, neatly incased in a sanitary
wrapping bearing the legend "Spe-
cially selected for " and here fol-
lows the name of the florist.

With the advance of the season,
Martha C. Gunterberg has begun to lay
plans for the summer vacation. She
is an indefatigable worker during the
season, but takes a long rest after the
growers have replanted.

Among those noticed in the Audito-
rium last week was Ed GuUett, of
GuUett & Sons, Lincoln, 111. Mr. Gul-
lett was a delegate to the Progressive
convention.

CHESTER, PA.

Chester had its first flower show
June 8. It was a success, private gar-
deners having beautiful displays of all
kinds of seasonable flowers. The
Michell seed house, of Philadelphia,
exhibited seventy-six varieties of per-
ennials, grown at its nurseries in Anda-
lusia. Hart's Flower Shop, of Chester,
had a real wedding and a fine dusky
bride. Mr. Bloom, of South Chester,
had a number of brides' bouquets and
plants. The Kosary Flower Shop had a
table decoration of orchids; Bickley, a
fine lot of lilies and blooming plants;
Macaw Bros., of Norwood, ferns. The
Michell seed house gave as first prize
a large silver medal, with a bronze
medal as second prize. The judges were
Frank B. Michell, Fred Cowperthwaite
and D. J. Keohane.

DAVENPOET, E. ISLAND, MOUNE.

Tlie Market.

Business last week was active. Eoses
and carnations are plentiful and of
good quality, the carnations being un-
usually good for this time of the year.
Peas are in fair supply, as are Easter
lilies. Gladioli are arriving in small
quantities and peonies have been in
oversupply. Demands in all lines have
been good and stock, with the excep-
tion of peonies, has cleaned up well.

Club Meeting.

The Tri-City Florists' Club met at
the residence of Henry Pauli June 8,
President Ludwig Stapp presiding.
The meeting proved to be one of the
most interesting of the year. Out-of-
town visitors were Max Basmussen, of
Pontiac, HI., and A. F. Longren, of
Burlington, la. A letter from Eobert
Kift, of Philadelphia, in regard to Miss
Jarvis and Mothers' day wxis read, and

PHILADELPHIA.

The Market.

There is a slight improvement in con-
ditions, owing to a lighter supply of
flowers. Not a marked improvement,
just enough to make way for hope later.
The peony cut from local fields is nearly
over; some fine flowers are coming here
from eastern growers and some are com-
ing out of cold storage, whenever they
are required. Flowers have been so

!>lentiful that prices continue extremely
ow. Easter lilies have been awfully
overdone; with so many fine white peo-
nies the market for Easter lilies has
been limited, while the supply is heavy.
Even valley was depressed by heavy
"receipts from frames down east, but
now this crop has passed. There is so
little that is good to be said of the mar-
ket that perhaps the less said the better
this week.

The Campbell-Stroud Deal.

Alfred M. Campbell, wholesale florist
of 1510 Sansom street, Philadelphia, has
purchased the Strafford Flower Farm
from Edward A. Stroud, of Overbrook,
Pa. The Strafford Flower Farm, situ-
ated at Strafford station, on the main
line of the Pennsylvania railroad, about
fourteen miles from this city, consists
of twenty-two acres of ground, 60,000
square feet of glass, a dwelling and
buildings. The greenhouses are of the
finest construction; one range was built
by Hitchings & Co., the other by the
King Construction Co.

The houses are devoted to carnations,
grown for the wholesale market, and to
chrysanthemums and to a miscellaneous
collection of plants, grown for retail
business on the Main Line. While the
consideration is not made public, it is
understood that Mr. Stroud, who has
been anxious to retire from active busi-

ness, will retain an interest for the pres-
ent at least. It is further understood
that Mr. Stroud was so impressed by
Mr. Campbell's enterprise in pushing
the Collingdale Greenhouses that he of-
fered the Strafford Flower Farm to the
new owner, with the idea of insuring its
continued success in producing high-
grade stock. The sale will go into ef-
fect July 1.

The retirement of Edward A. Stroud
will be a serious blow to horticulture in
this city. Mr. Stroud has always taken

an active part in all our shows and
meetings and could be counted upon
whenever brains and energy were need-
ed. The advancement of Alfred M.
Campbell to so important a position in
the flower world is looked upon hope-
fully. Mr. Campbell has energy, enthu-
siasm, broad ideas and the courage of
his convictions — qualities that go a long
way toward achieving success.

were the guests of the Bell Telephone
Co. at a luncheon in its new Parkway
building, 1631 Arch street, Friday, June
9. President George Burton and about
fifty members of the club were present.
They were cordially received, hospitably
entertained and then shown over the
entire building. Taking the elevators
to the seventeenth floor, the party
slowly descended, going carefully over
the most interesting parts of the estab-
lishment.

There are some 700 employees in this
main building, which contains only one,
the Locust, exchange. Everything was
in perfect order, neat as wax — despite
the great quantity of machinery — light
and cheerful. The operators have rest-

allowed a half hour to themselves be-

uous work at the switchboards. They
are furnished excellent meals at less
than cost, in the building.

Besides decorating the meeting hall,
the many exhibitors' booths were
adorned with plants. Eight carloads of

Fifteen men went down to the shore
several days in advance to do the work.
John P. Habermehl and Edwin N. Ha-
bermehl took personal charge of the ar-
rangement. The effect was extra fine.

Topic of the Hour.

May 17 an arrangement was reached
between the coal miners and operators
in the anthracite regions of Pennsyl-
vania. This arrangement gives the
miners an increase in wages and time
concession that amounts to a further
increase. It is binding on both parties
to the agreement for four years. This
increase of pay to the miners increases
the cost of coal to the consumers. In
addition to the higher price, the coal
will be more difficult to obtain than
usual. This is because the miners are
largely foreign born. Owing to the
European war they are receiving no
additions to their numbers from abroad;
on the contrary, some of them have
gone home to fight for their country,
on whichever side it may be. Another
reason for the probable difficulty in
getting coal next fall is the likelihood
of a car shortage. It has often been
talked of and sometimes felt. This fall
and winter it is more than likely to be
troublesome on hard coal. While the
summer price is higher than last year,
it will undoubtedly advance in the
fall, making purchase earlier than us-
ual a wise move for economy and for
protection. In addition to this, there
IS no question that coal purchased now
is better prepared in the steam sizes
than that purchased later in the season.

Many of our most far-seeing florists
are already placing their orders for coal
for June and July delivery, believing
that it will save money and worry to
commence storing the winter's supply,
early though it be.

that is, the best coleus. One of our
smart growers, James Griffin, of Frank-
ford, grows a block of these, usually
5,000. He grows them well, with a
little room between the 4-inch pots, gets
10 cents for them and finds it a good
thing. When told this was a point of
interest, Mr. Craig laughed. ' ' You have
a way," he said, "of describing little
things seriously, as though they were
most important." "I never kill
space, ' ' his visitor protested. ' * No, but
give your imagination play. Don't for-
get to give your imagination play, ' ' was
Mr. Craig's parting shot.

Cold Storage Peonies.

Charles E. Meehan says that the
whole secret of putting peonies success-
fully into cold storage, after they have
been properly cut, is never to allow
them to heat at any stage. This is more
difficult than it seems, because peonies
heat easily. The most successful pack-
ers take the flowers from the fields to
the shed, sprinkle the foliage and pack
with ice. This is necessary, because it
takes many hours of the cold storage to
thoroughly penetrate the boxes of
peonies. They are often found to be
heated away down underneath, long
after they have been put into storage.
Peonies properly packed can be safely
kept in cold storage for a long time,
even as late as August, while those im-
properly packed are nearly always un-
satisfactory when taken out.

Various Notes.

Charles P. Poryzees has closed his
retail store at the northeast corner of
Fifteenth and Chestnut streets, causing
gloom among the wholesalers and grow-
ers. This is Mr. Poryzees' second fail-
ure. The first occurred some years ago,
when he did business, as do many of
the Greeks, under his first name,
Charles Pandella.

Washington, O. — Shortly after 11
p. m. June 1, Washington and vicinity
were visited by one of the heaviest rain
storms of the season, followed by vio-
lent hail. The Kobert Buck & Co. green-
houses suffered the most serious dam-
age, there being about 3,000 lights
broken. After the glass had been shat-
tered, the hailstones, some of them as
large as hen eggs, pelted the flowers
inside.

EIDLET PARK, PA.

The ninth flower show was held June
10, with 165 entries. Michell 's Nursery,
of Andalusia, had a large collection of
perennials, 137 vases, staged by Frank
B. Michell, which was greatly admired,
being the first large collection of peren-
nials ever seen in Eidley Park.

The Michell seed house presented the
exhibitor securing the largest number
of points with a silver medal and the
second largest number of points with a
bronze medal. Frank B. Michell was
one of the judges.

BOSTON.

The Market.

The week closing June 10 was, gen-
erally speaking, an unsatisfactory one
both climatically and for business. It
was a week of almost continuous fog,
drizzle or drenching rain, with low
temperatures for the season. Good
buying of flowers under such adverse
weather conditions was hardly to be
expected, and while receipts, owing to
the cold, damp week, were not specially
heavy, they proved far above the mar-
ket's needs, and many flowers found
their way into the rubbish barrels.
Hoses, except two or three varieties like
Ophelia, Russell, Ward and Hadley, are
not selling well. The stores want one
or two particular colors and others are
neglected. American Beauties are now
of good quality, but the demand is not
robust. Carnations had a serious slump
last week and prices dropped as low as
$2.50 per thousand. There now is some

quality of the flowers, prices are low.
At this season, however, many people
are tired of carnations and much pre
fer the many outdoor flowers now avail
able.

Lily of the valley is selling well;
the outdoor brand is already gone.
Yellow marguerites are only selling
moderately. Sweet peas of every imag-
inable quality are seen; good ones sell
well. There is a heavy supply of lilies,
with a feeble demand for both these
and callas. Stocks, feverfew, candy-
tuft and spira?as, belated Memorial day
crops, are seen in abundance, but no
one wants them. Large-flowered gladi-
oli sell moderately well. America is
easily the leader, with Mrs. Francis
King next in favor. Peonies are not
abundant yet. The season for these is
unusually late, but the quality promises

$3 per dozen for C. Mossise and $6 for
C. gigas are prevailing prices. Adian-
tum sells well, but Asparagus Sprengeri
moves more slowly. The trade in bed-

report a considerable unsold surplus, es-
pecially of geraniums.

Beorganization of Welch Bros. Co.

At a meeting held June 1 a reorgani-
zation of Welch Bros. Co. was effected,
following the resignation of David
Welch and E. J. Welch, who have
opened a new wholesale commission
house at 280 Devonshire street.

Patrick Welch retains oflBce as presi-
dent and treasurer. Henry Haas was
elected manager and Frank J. Eeynolds
becomes assistant manager.

Henry Haas has had a long experience
in the wholesale handling of cut flowers,
having acted as salesman for William
H. Elliott for several years and of late
for N. F. Comley, of Burlington. He is
extremely popular among the flower
buyers of Boston and is considered one
of the most capable and energetic young
men connected with the wholesale
flower business.

Frank J. Eeynolds has traveled exten-
sively in New England, New York and
Canada and knows practically all the
commercial florists in this large terri-
tory. He started twenty years ago with
Welch Bros., remaining with them eight
years. He was later for a number of
years with N. F. McCarthy & Co., as

manager. For two years he acted as a
salesman for a number of growers in the
Boston Flower Market and has until re-
cently been with McAlpine & McDon-
ald. He is one of the best versed men
in Boston's wholesale flower business,
if not in the entire country.

Various Notes.

This week sees the opening of one
more wholesale commission house in
Boston. David Welch and E. J. Welch,
brothers of Patrick Welch and formerly
of Welch Bros. Co., opened a splendid
new wholesale store June 12, at 280
Devonshire street, right in the heart of
the wholesale flower district, near the
south terminal station and within easy
reach of the north station. The new
firm, to be known as Welch's, has an
up-to-date store in every respect, and
the two members of the firm are so well
known and respected by everyone con-
nected with the local flower industry
that they can hardly fail to succeed.
The name of Welch has 'always been
intimately associated with Boston's
flower business, and we look to see the
new firm become one of the leaders of
its kind in New England.

The cold and damp weather, while
hard on business, has caused peonies
and other herbaceous plants, rhododen-
drons and hardy azaleas to bloom with
wonderful profusion, and at the post-
poned exhibition of these popular flow-
ers in Horticultural hall, June 17 and
18, there should be a grand display.
For the rose show, scheduled for June
24 and 25, the dates selected should

prove about right. Hardy roses have
reveled in recent climatic conditions.

John McFarland, of North Easton,
is sending in fine shipments of sweet
peas, lilies and adiantums. He will
commence benching chrysanthemums,
over 100,000 in all, about the end of the
present month.

Special flower days in various cities
in Massachusetts have used a good
many flowers of late. Carnations have
been the best sellers. Everett took
15,000, Springfield 30,000, Brockton 20,-
000, and other cities considerable num-
bers. Except for these purchases, there
would have been a heavy waste of car-
nations.

There promises to be a rousing at-
tendance at the meeting of the Gar-
deners' and Florists' Club June 20, in
Horticultural hall. Business will com-
mence at 7:30 sharp, in order to allow
a longer social evening. Tickets are
selling fast, but may still be pur-
chased from the club officers or at the
door June 20.

Wedding «orders booked at Galvin's
are more numerous than in any preced-
ing year. The display of aquatic flow-
ers at the Park street store is attrac-
tive, cool and restful.
, Chandler Bros., of Tewksbury, are
cutting a splendid lot of America and
Mrs. Francis King gladioli.

James Philbrick, of Woburn, knows
how to grow bachelor's buttons. He is
displaying them with 24-inch stems and,
of course, flowers of such quality find
ready purchasers even in periods of
glut.

F. J. Dolansky has a splendid lot of
miltonias, in addition to Cattleya
MossisB, C. Mendelii, C. gigas and
Phalasnopsis amabilis.

Holm Lea, the beautiful estate of
Professor C. S. Sargent, in Brookline,
was thrown open to the public June 10
and 11, for the annual inspection of
the beautiful displays of rhododendrons,
azaleas, irises and other hardy flower-
ing plants. Unfortunately, the weather
was on its worst behavior and visitors
were much fewer than usual.

The Market.

Conditions in the cut flower market
last week were unsatisfactory. There
was an oversupply of stock and low
prices were the rule. The retailers were
buying sparingly and stock was hard to
move. Business opened well the first
of this week, the supply being some-
what lighter than previously.

Peonies are about over; only a few
are coming in. Taken as a whole, this
year's crop of peonies was unsatisfac-
tory, both as to quality, the inferiority
of which no doubt was due to the un-
favorable weather, and sales, which
were not up to the average. Roses are
in the usual supply, as well as carna-
tions. Peas are short-stemmed and of
none too good quality. There are a
few outdoor roses, irises, etc., and they
move slowly.

ClvLb Meeting.

The regular meeting of the Garden-
ers' and Florists' Club was held June
12. There was nothing of much impor-
tance scheduled and the attendance was
light. It was decided to cancel the
regular summer outing and to hold more
social affairs in the clubrooms during
the winter season. The schedule com-
mittee presented the final list of prizes
for the show to be held in connection

vpith Maryland week, November 14 to
18. The list was adopted by the club.
The committee which had the amateur
rose show in charge reported, and a
vote of thanks was extended its mem-
bers for their good work in connection
with the show.

Various Notes.

L. L. Lancaster, who formerly re-
sided in this city, is here visiting rela-
tives.

Charles Uffler, who for many years
has been in charge of the J. Harrison
Garrett estate, near Glencoe, has re-
signed his position and accepted an-
other in California.

P. B. Welsh recently was noticed rid-
ing around in a new 6-cylinder touring
car. Business at Glen Morris must be
booming.

Sidney Bayersdorfer, J. J. Goudy and
D. T. Connor, of Philadelphia, called on
the trade this week.

George Fauth is closing out the stock
of his son's greenhouses and will offer
the place for sale in the fall.

George S. Kalb is confined to his bed
with a severe attack of rheumatism.

Charles Siegwart is cutting some fine
Cattleya Mossia?. A specimen plant,
which he says is only in its second sea-
son, carried thirty-two blooms and a
few buds.

The name of William E. McKissick
was inadvertently omitted from the list
giving the members of the show com-
mittee. ^W. F. E.

The Market.

Business last week was reported good
by the leading retailers. The many wed-
dings, school commencements and fu-
neral work caused a big demand for
stock. After another week of good
business, perhaps trade will begin to
recede toward summer's dullness. The
Democratic national convention, to be
held here this week, should bring extra
business to florists.

Continuous rains and high winds
have caused a shortage of outdoor

60 years' experience in the florist business guarantees
efficiency to take care of all orders. 20 per cent allowed

stock. Last week roses were not too
plentiful and they had a good sale. The
same may be said of carnations. Good
sweet peas sell well at all times. Gla-
dioli and candidum lilies have a good
demand. Growers say the gladiolus cut
will be greatly reduced this year on
account of the heavy rains. Coreopsis
and hardy phloxes are good sellers at
present. Shipments of cape jasmines
from Texas are not so heavy as for-
merly. Fancy ferns and good, long
smilax are scarce. Other greens are
plentiful.

Club Meeting.

The Florists' Club held its monthly
meeting June 8 at Kirkwood. W. J.
Pilcher, who invited the members to
hold the meeting at his place, had
everything in readiness to receive the
members. Nearly fifty members met in
the wholesale district and made the trip
to Kirkwood in automobiles gayly deco-
rated with flags.

After an inspection tour of the big
rose houses, which were found in the
usual splendid condition, the meeting
was called to order by President Bour-
det. After disposing of the prelimi-
naries, the trustees reported that the
annual picnic would be held July 19 or
20, at Eomona park. All arrangements
will be perfected by the next meeting.

John S. Carter, chairman of the as-
sociate membership committee, pre-
sented his report. He favored an asso-
ciate membership and advocated a
change in the by-laws to create such.
The first reading was favorably voted
upon.

W. W. Ohlweiler, of the spring
flower show committee, reported the va-
rious committees doing good work. A
meeting of all chairmen of the com-
mittees was set for June 13.

FLOWERS FOR THE STATE OF WASHINGTON

SMITH FLORAL CO., 1112 Broadway

W. S. Wells reported for the com-
mittee appointed to organize a Missouri
State Florists' Association. He stated
that such an organization had been per-
fected May 24, at Columbia, Mc,
through the efforts of his committee and
that his committee had no further work.
On motion the committee was dis-
charged with ^ vote of thanks for its
good work.

Several communications were read
and filed. The St. Louis convention bu-
reau asked the members of the club to
name an official flower of the city or
state, to be worn by members of the
various conventions coming to St. Louis
this summer. Geo. Pring, H. C. Irish,
C. C. Sanders, W. W. Ohlweiler and
David S. Geddis were appointed a com-
mittee to act on this suggestion. The
committee took counsel and named the
coreopsis as the official St. Louis flower.
Applications for membership were filed
by H. M. Studdard, Henry Ochs, Ed.
G. Sedvic, Emmett McDonald and
Alexander Volkman.

Treasurer Smith 's report on the finan-
cial standing of the club brought smiles
from the members. President Bourdet
invited the club to hold its next meet-
ing at his place. This invitation was
accepted with thanks. W. J. Pilcher
then invited the membevs to partake
of an excellent lunch and before leav-
ing cheers were given the host and
hostess. The tMrtieth anniversary of

the club will long be remembered by
the members.

Various Notes.

The St. Louis County Growers' Asso-
ciation held its monthly meeting at the
Eleven Mile House June 7. President
Winter and all other officers were pres-
ent. David S. Geddis gave a "get-
together" talk, which proved quite in-
teresting. The members voted Mr.
Geddis their thanks for the speech.
The next meeting of the association
Avill be held July 12.

The Retail Florists' Association will
liold its meeting June 19, at the Mission
Inn Garden. As the busy season will
then be at an end, President Young
and Secretary Weber expect to have all
members present. Much important
business is to come up for discussion.

Miss T. Badaracco has completed the
redecorating of her store. Other im-
provements will follow during the sum-
mer months. Miss Badaracco has had
splendid business this season.

The loss from the storm of June 2 at
the H. G. Berning place, Columbia, 111.,
was heavy. A large quantity of glass
was broken, a windmill was blown over
and plants in the field were badly
broken.

to"young trees by storm. Frank Weber
says the wind and hail of June 2 broke
about 75,000 young peach trees and the
bark of thousands of shade trees was
struck off. The loss in this line ap-
proximates $50,000.

W. A. Eowe, of Kirkwood, had a big
force of men at work repairing the loss
from the recent storm. A fine batch of
carnation plants in the field were badly
cut. Mr. Rowe is making preparations
to build two houses, 300 feet long, this
summer. He expects material from
Chicago soon.

The spring flower show guarantee
fund committee met at the office of
August Hummert, who is an officer of
the St. Louis Seed Co. and chairman
of the committee. It was announced
that the fund of $10,000 was more than
half subscribed at that time.

Ludwig Zimmer, the Biddel market
florist, reports that he has fallen heir
to a large sum of money through the
death of a relative, who recently died
in Germany. Mr. Zimmer hopes the
war will end soon, in order that he may
again visit his old home.

The Shackelford Nursery Co. is cut-
ting a fine lot of candidum lilies; also
extra fine white phloxes. The latter
are in big demand by the west end
florists.

City Forester Koenig's force of men
was busy last week repairing the heavy
damage done to city trees by the recent
storm. Many of the fine old trees were
blown down.

W. S. Wells, • secretary of the Mis-
souri State Florists' Association, says
the local florists are rapidly joining the
association. He looks forward to many
applications from all parts of the state
the latter part of this month, when the
busy season is at an end. J. J. B.

The daily papers for June 10 re-
corded the incorporation of the St.
Louis Cut Flower Co., authorized to do
a general florists' business. The capital
stock, fully paid, is $20,000. Twenty
shareif'are held by D. S. Geddis, ten
shares by .L J. Beneke, and 170 shares
by F. P. Maid.

Fresno, Cal. — Miss Kate Parsons has
moved her store from the Holland build-
ing to 1136 J street.

San Jose, Cal. — Mrs Alma C. Leh-
mann reports a good season's trade,
the Memorial day business far exceed-
ing that of the same day last year.
The only complaint is against the
weather, which has been unseasonably
cool during the day and unusually cold
at night.

PACIFIC COAST SHOWS.

Lack of space in this department
makes it necessary to print in another
part of the paper this week accounts of
two Pacific coast exhibitions, the sweet
pea show at San Francisco and the rose
festival at Portland.

For the sweet pea report see page 14.

For the rose festival see page 17.

SAN DIEGO'S FINEST.

Capt. F. Edward Gray sends The Re-
view a photograph of a bed of excellent
lilies and says:

"The picture is a partial view of a
bed of 2,000 Lilium longiflorum in the
formal garden of the southern Califor-
nia exhibit at the San Diego Exposi-
tion. The lilies are planted among
Cryptomeria Japonica, having as a
parpet blooming ivy-leaved geraniums
of the variety Charles Turner.

"It is a remarkable growth of longi-
florum, one plant having fifteen blooms;
about 200 had fourteen flowers each;
of the remainder, plants each bearing
twelve blooms predominated. They
started blooming May 1 and at this
date, June 1, they are in full, glorious
bloom."

AN AI.AMEDA BUSINESS WOMAN.

Ordinarily the idle rich, particularly
those whom the novelists classify as
"social butterflies," are spoken of by
the vast, hard-working, producing mid-
dle classes in terms not in the least
complimentary. But not infrequently
one of these, born with a silver spoon
and bred in affluence, will emerge from
his or her sphere and tackle a difficult
business proposition so capably and
with such success that the business
world again is compelled to admit that
brains, practicability and common sense
are no respecters of class distinctions.
?3ie case in point is well exemplified by
one Miss Edna Siegfried, a society girl
of Alameda, Cal., but better known as
owner and manager of the Western Or-
chid Co., one of the largest of its kind
in the west.

Miss Siegfried probably is the first
woman to invade this particular line
of industry, the cultivation of the or-
chid on a large scale. She is said to
be the only woman importer on the
west coast and is the sole agent for
Pacific orchid peat, which the eastern
trade is awakening to the value of.
She not only knows how to cultivate
many varieties of cattleyas, phalsenop-.
sis, vandas and cypripediums in her
greenhouses at Alameda, but also knows
the selling end of the game, in which
she is sometimes assisted, by Albert O.
Stein, the San Francisco florist.

LOS ANGELES.

The Market.

Although funeral work for some
weeks has been the mainstay of the
business, the amount that developed
during the last week was greatly in
excess of anything for a long time.
This and a few weddings helped to
clean up a great deal of stock, of which
there has been an unusually large quan-
tity. Gladioli are extra fine this week,
and the red dahlia, Minnie Burgle, has
made a great hit with the public. Roses
are still a little off color, but are better
than a week ago. The only outdoor
rose arriving in any quantity is Ulrich
Brunner, which delights ^in the cool
nights and misty mornings that we
have had of late. Mrs. J. Laing also
has appeared in a few places, and this
rose is always a favorite when obtain-
able. Carnations have shown consider-
erable improvement in the last two
weeks, the new crop from the beach
towns helping out. Sweet peas also like
the cool weather and are still coming
in fine shape.

The Mexican poppy, or hunnemannia,
is a good, showy flower for window dec-
orations and looks fine when used in
conjunction with the blue delphinium.
Valley is an uncertain quantity. At
times there is more than the market
will absorb, while at other times it
cannot be had. Orchids are letting up
a little, but there seems to be enough

to go around. Greens are plentiful and
good.

Various Notes.

Arthur Gleave, of C^ave's Flower
Shop, Santa Barbara, paid a flying visit
to the city last week. He reports busi-
ness good.

Norris & Son say they' are well satis-
fied with the business ^one so far at
their new store in ther Rosslyn hotel
building.

Albert Goldenson is now back with
his brother, at Wolf skills' & Morris
Goldenson 's. Manager John Gordon
reports that June 5 they had one of the
biggest days in their experience.

The monthly meeting of the Los An-
geles County Horticultural Society was
postponed from June 6 to June 7 on ac-
count of election day, and was held in
the evening of the latter date, at
Kruckeberg's hall. No special speaker
had been decided upon, so the welfare
of the society was the topic up for dis-
cussion.

More than a fair share of misfortune
has certainly been coming to E. Hill,
nurseryman of Alhambra. He had lost
his baby and his wife was in the hos-
pital, seriously ill. Then he took his
6-year-old daughter for a ride in his
side car. A large automobile struck
him, killing his daughter instantly and
seriously injuring him.

The sympathy of everyone in the
trade goes out to G. M. Bridgeford, of

SAN FBANCISCO.

The Market.

Market conditions were satisfactory
last week. The closing of the city
schools created a large demand for
flowers for commencements; a large
number of weddings absorbed a great
many more and funeral work was quite
active, all of which, in addition to a
liberal quantity of decorative work for
other functions, and a good counter
trade, cleaned up nearly everything
without much difficulty. The quality
of the present offerings is good. Out-
door stock is in excellent shape, owing
to favorable climatic conditions in prac-
tically all the growing sections that
supply this market. The recent severe
winds did slight damage in certain
neighborhoods, but its effect was not
far-reaching.

Quantities of small stuff, such as
statice, gypsophilas, coreopsis, mari-
golds, etc., are being used to good ad-
vantage. Outdoor gladioli are plenti-
ful and find a good derpand. Dahlias
are coming in nicely. Some of the fin-
est zinnias ever seen here are arriving.

My Winter Orchid-flowering

SWEET PEAS

were the besjt paying crop with many thousands of growers who have purchased
my seed in time. They have received the highest awards at the National Flower
Show in Philadelphia and in New York, the Gold Medal of Honor at San Fran-
cisco, the Gold Medal in San Diego World's Fair.

My new price list of Winter Orchid-flewering; Sweet Pea Seed has
been mailed. If you have not received a copy, send postal for it. Part of new
crop will be ready early in July. I am the originator of every Winter Orchid
Sweet Pea but one, which was ever seen or shown.

They have stems two feet long and well
formed flowers, some as large as dah-
lias. Sweet peas are fine and have a
good sale. The same may be said of
carnations. The rose situation is all
that can be desired; there is plenty of
stock and enough demand to absorb it.
Russell shows exceptionally fine quality
and it maintains its popularity well.
Hadley, Ophelia, Prima Donna, George
Elger, Irish Elegance and Cecile Brun-
ner also are favorites. Potted stock is
not overplentiful, although there still
are many fine French hydrangeas, a
fair supply of begonias and some
spiraeas. Pansies are having a splendid
run in basket arrangements. The sup-
ply of orchids barely meets the require-
ments of the trade.

ing of the Pacific Coast Horticultural

that the only other field dav in view is
a visit to the plant of the Garden City

that it will make its final report at the

Xhc Florists' Review

June 15. 191G.

An invitation was tendered to the
members of the society to attend the
annual meeting of the Ladies' Auxil-
iary, to be held at the home of John
Gill, in West Berkeley. Those present
were glad to welcome Charles Abraham,
who has not been attending the meet-
ings for a year or more on account of
poor health. He appeared quite hearty.
The evening's exhibits were somewhat
lacking, the only exhibit being a large
pot of Nephrolepis Amerpohlii, by H.
Plath, which took ninety-eight points.

Various Notes!

The wedding of Miss Tillie V. Peli-
cano, daughter of Frank Pelicano, to
A. Costa, was one of the pretty church
affairs of last week. The happy couple
are motoring to San Diego as a honey-
moon trip.

W. D. Fraser, owner of a large seed
farm at Seattle, Wash., was a recent
visitor.

The California State Floral Society
held a meeting on the afternoon of
June 9. Mr. Wilson, of the weather
bureau, entertained the members dur-
ing the afternoon at his headquarters
in the Merchants' Exchange building.

H. Plath has a large house of Primula
obconica in flats about ready for pot-
ting. His old stock is about cleaned
out.

Schwerin Bros, are building another
house, 26x150 feet, to be devoted to
adiantum.

Appleby & Letts, near Haywards, in
Alameda county, are completing two
greenhouses, each 18x150 feet, for cycla-
mens and flowering plants.

E. James has a fine lot of celosias
coming on, mostly Pride of Castle Gould
and some new Scotch varieties just im-
ported. He is about cleaned out of hy-
drangeas, but says spirreas have sold
poorly this spring. He had success
with Tausendschon roses this year and
still has a few left, although the de-
mand is about over now. They lasted
unusually well.

The E. Gill Nursery Co. has an ex-
ceptionally fine stand of roses at its
Edenvale place in Santa Clara county.

John Gill and John Vallance plan to
go to Medford, Ore., about June 20, to
attend the convention of the Pacific
Coast Association of Nurserymen.

Included in the estimates filed by
various municipal departments of Ala-
meda, Cal., for the next fiscal year was
$2,500 for a new greenhouse for Mc-
Kinley park. S. H. G.

FOBTLAND, OBE.

The Market.

-Last week was a busy one for the flo-
rists. Establishing the floral center and
decorating floats for the parades re-
quired extra help and used all available
stock. A grand lodge convention of the
Eastern Star added to the strong de-
mand for flowers and many roses were
sent to friends during festival week.

The Bose Show.

The annual show of the Portland Kose
Society was held on the fifth floor of
the Meier & Frank department store,
June 7 and 8. The lateness of the sea-
son caused "ITie quality of the roses to
be better than usual, and added to the
success of the show. Although a sepa-
rate event, the rose show is financed
by the festival association. The grand
prize for the best flower was awarded

ing C. T. Kipp and G. Bjorkman into
the Society of the Yellow Dog.

Clarke Bros, sent more than 1,000
flats of potted stock to the floral center.

Julius Dossche, "Seottie" and Tom
PoUuck worked all night placing the
potted roses on the rose fountain.

Yellow shrubby calceolarias will be
in great demand next year. They were
much admired in the exhibits.

The regular meeting of the Portland
Floral Society will be held June 20.
Final reports on festival matters and
the annual election of oflBcers will be
the features of the session.

The new rose, George Arends —
Pink Druschki — is mentioned as a
strong competitor of Mme. Caroline
Testout, now the official rose of Port-
land. Some fine bushes of the new rose
were exhibited by the Mountain View
Floral Co.

The "flower lady" in the trade ex-
hibit of the Swiss Floral Co. attracted
much attention.

Among the prize-winning floats was
one by the Jefferson high school, deco-
rated by Max Smith; one by Washing-

Floral Studio. Several fine floats were
decorated by the florists and entered as

entered his car, as he had too much
work on hand.

lOWANS HAVE GOOD MEETING.

Officers Elected.

At the highly successful meeting of
the Iowa Seed Dealers' Association,
now held annually at Des Moines, June
7 and 8, the following oflicers were
elected:

President — W. C. Grote, of the Youn-
kerman Seed Co., Council Bluffs.

Vice-president — E. M. Cole, of Cole's
Seed Store, Pella.

Secretary — A. M. Eldridge, of Henry
Field Seed Co., Shenandoah, reelected.

Treasurer — John T. Hamilton, of
||Hamilton Coal & Seed Co., Cedar Eap-
•^jids, reelected for the tenth consecutive
time.

Three Sessions Held.

There were three business sessions
and a day of recreation. Matters per-
taining to the welfare of the organiza-
tion were discussed at an executive
session and the matter of pound and
bushel weights was taken up, it being
thought advisable to adhere to the for-
mer ideas, and so far as possible sell
seeds by the pound instead of by the
bushel.

The officers of the Iowa Seed Co. did
themselves proud as entertainers and
decorators. The annual banquet was
held in the assembly room of the
Savory hotel. Mel L. Webster, who was
for a time in Waco, Tex., arrived in
time for the banquet.

The association members were given
a lunch by Successful Farming and also
visited the new plant recently con-
structed by the Iowa Homestead. Not
all of the members availed themselves
of the opportunity to inspect the col-
lege and test grounds at Ames, la., the
second day, on account of unfavorable
weather conditions.

Secretary Eldridge, who is given
credit for infusing new life into the
association, went home filled with fresh
enthusiasm. "Next year we will try
to make the convention bigger and bet-
ter and we want as soon as possible to
really do things," he told The Review.
"We are increasing our membership
as rapidly as consistent. We were much
disappointed in not having H. G. Hast-
ings, of Atlanta, Ga., with us, this year
as expected, but he was detained on ac-
count of the illness of Mrs. Hastings.
Other speakers whom we were expect-
ing were unavoidably detained, but we
had a good 4^ime anyway. ' '

Those Present.

The following firms were presAit or
represented at the meeting:

J. r. Sinn, Harry Sunfleld and C. E. Peck,
of A. A. Berry Seed Co.. Clarlnda, la.
E. M. Cole, of Cole's Seed Store, Pella, la.

fendant in the negotiations for the sale
that the seed would be of the "usual
first-class germinating quality that we
have furnished in the past," the letter-
head contained this statement: "Guar-
anty: While we try to procure the best
seed on the market, we give no guar-
anty, either expressed or implied. Sam-
ples will always be furnished when ap-
plied for. If the seeds are not ac-
cepted on these terms, we must be noti-
fied at once. If they are kept it will
be taken as proof that they are satis-
factory."

On receipt of the shipment, the de-
fendant placed the seeds in a creek,
where they soaked for about a week,
after which they were placed in an ice-
pack for several weeks. Before the
plaintiff made the shipment, the seeds
were given the usual test to determine
their character, and this test showed
that they were good and would ger-
minate. On the other hand, the only
evidence offered by defendant to show
that the seeds were not good was the
fact that they were planted in good
soil in the usual manner, but did not
grow.

An expert testified that two days at
the longest was the time required for
wetting seeds, and that if they are
placed in an ice-pack, which is per-
mitted to melt, the seeds will heat and
destroy their germinating quality. Un-
der these circumstances, the Supreme
court said:

'•^We think it is apparent from these
facts that there were at least two causes
for the destruction of the germinating
quality of the seeds after they were
received by the defendant. If the seeds
were left too long in water, they would
germinate, and ice would then destroy
the germination; and, secondly, if they
were properly placed upon the ice, and
the ice was permitted to melt, the seeds
would heat, and the heat would destroy
the germinating quality. Both of these
conditions are present in this case.

"Assuming, without deciding, that
there was an express warranty of the
quality of the seeds, the testimony is
not disputed that the usual test was
applied to the seeds by the plaintiff
to determine the germinating quality
of the seeds, and the test showed the

THE KENILWORTH Giant Pansy

Seeds are all grown by myself and are offered in the following mix-
tures and separate colors:

22. GIANT KENILWOKTH STRAIN. The flowers are of perfect form
and substance; many of the immense flowers are from 3% to 4
Inches. It is a striking collection of beautiful colors and markings,
rich with shades of red, brown, bronze, mahogany and many others
too numerous to mention. Light, Medium or Dark Mixtures.

24. GIANT KENILWORTH SHOW. An extra fine strain of large flow-
ers; the Immense flowers are of circular form and great substance.
A beautiful collection of colors and markings.

26. GIANT KENILWORTH CUT FLOWER MIXTURE. Is a distinct class
by itself, surpassing all other strains as a cut flower or for exhibi-
tion purposes, for inside or outside growing; the large flowers are
carried erect above the foliage on heavy stems, 7 or 8 inches long,
in the mo.st graceful manner, and stand the hot, dry weather well.

28. GIANT MASTERPIECE. A remarkable type; the curled, wavy petals
giving the flower a double appearance; large flowers of great sub-
stance, on long, strong stem.

30. GIANT THREE AND FIVE BLOTCHED PANSIES. A superb mix-
ture. Flowers large and of circular form and of great substance.
The display of coloring Is unsurpassed. A combination of almost
every shade of rich, velvety colors; reds are particularly conspic-
uous; the petals being distinctly marked with three or five large,
dark blotchee.

32. GIANT PARISIAN. The flowers are of enormous size and beautifully
marked, mostly fine dark blotches on white and yellow ground;
an unusually showy mixture.

34. GIANT BRONZE. A fine mixture of all shades of velvety brown,
bronze, Havana brown, mahogany and copper shades.

45. GIANT APOLLO (Masterpiece type). New bronze, veined and
blotched. Strongly frilled petals. A superb Pansy.

47. GIANT ERFORDIA (New Red). Of the Masterpiece type. The largest
and best red. The result of ten years of selection. The color is of a
deep, smooth, velvet red shading to scarlet, with curled petals and
sweet scented.

49. GIANT MERCURY. New. A deep blackish purple, really self-col-
ored, without blotches or spots. The flowers are extraordinary in
size and substance, being the largest flowers of all self-colored

S2. ORCHID n.,OWERED, Mixed. A dwarf, free bloomer, with a range
of delicate colors that do not exist in any other Pansies; a re-
markable combination of light rose, shell pink, blush mauve,
fawn, light brown, orange and chamois.

New Early-flowering or Winter-blooming Giant Pansies •*™«s»f Kenilworih Pansy Seed

An entirely new and distinct strain of Pansies. The main advantage of
these new Pansies over all hitherto existing Pansies is tlie extreme earliness
of flowering and its unusual hardiness, which enables them to withstand quite
severe Winters, and to bloom right on into the Summer. Sown at the same
time as other Pansies, they begin flowering the early part of March or as soon
a.s the snow is off the ground, many times having four or five large flowers
to a plant, when all other Pansies are only showing buds. The flowers are
large, well formed and fragrant. They are highly recommended for Autumn
planting on gtraves and for very early bedding, as well as for early cut
flower.s.

14. WIITTEB SUN. Golden yellow, with dark eye.

15. ICE XnrO. Silvery white, with dark blue eye.

16. CEIiESTIAi; QUEEN. Light or sky blue.

17. CHASM OF KABCH. Dark velvety blue.

18. MIXED. The above four colors with other shades and variations.
500 Meds 50c., 1000 seeds 91.00, % oz. 92.00, V4 oz. 93.75, 1 oz. 915.00

20. FBI2TCESS. The New Uprlfflit Paniy.

This strain is entirely distinct from all others. It is absolutely compact,
upright growing, and extremely weatherproof, enduring many storms with-
out damage to its flower. The flowers are mostly blotched and frilled like the
Masterpiece, of good form and heavy, velvety texture, on heavy stems carried
well above the foliage. Attractive by the brilliancy of its colors.

500 Seeds 20c., 1000 Seeds 35c., Ya oz. 91'00, y^ oz. 92.00, 1 oz. 97.50.

FRFF flFPFR R'^INBOW is a mixture of the most beautiful, gorgeous
1 lUili m I un. colors, blotched, striped, veined, margined, etc. With
every $1.00 worth of Pansy seed I will send, free, 1000 seeds of Rainbow
and with other amounts in like proportion.

All sorts and mixtures except the new Pansy
Princess and the Early Flowering or Winter
Blooming are $5.00 per oz., $1.25 per % oz. ;
5000 seeds $1.00; trade pkt. of 1000 seeds 25c;

seeds to be good. There is no evidence
to dispute the good quality of the seeds,
except that the seeds when planted did
not grow. But the method of handling
the seeds by the defendant after he re-
ceived them is sufficient to show that it
was through his own neglect and failure
to properly treat the seeds that their
germinating power was killed. We are
satisfied, therefore, that the plaintiff
was entitled to recover the agreed price
of the seeds, and that a judgment should
have been entered in his favor." S.

CUCUMBER WILT.

I have eight greenhouses in which cu-
cumbers are growing. Two of the
houses contain solid beds and the other
six have raised benches. I grow Kaw-
son's Hothouse and Vickery Forcing
varieties. We started these plants in
pots from January 1 to 20, and planted
them in the beds from March 1 to 20.
They are grown in a good field loam,
with some rotted horse manure, and we
had a fine lot of lettuce in these houses,
using nitrate of soda between the rows.
After planting the cucumber.s, about
two feet apart, wo gave about a gallon
of well rotted cow manure to each hill.
When the plants were twelve to
eighteen inches high we gave an ap-
plication of fresh horse manure, one or
two inches thick. We sprayed them
with nicotine to kill green fly and the
foliage is bright and clean. The trou-
ble is that some of the plants, with
cucumbers nearly ready for the market,
suddenly wither, and we are at a loss
to know what causes this trouble and
how to prevent it. We gave the beds
a coat of slaked lime, which seemed to
help a little. We cut back some of the
wilted plants and they made new
growth. The roots of the plants are
healthy looking and white. We have
been careful in watering, so as not to
get the plants too wet and soggy or let
them become too dry. We have used
Bordeaux mixture, but have not yet
had time to see any eflFect. Some of our
friends have said the trouble is cucum-
ber wilt, but no remedy has been sug-
gested, except to remove the affected
plants so that the disease will not
spread. Any information will be ap-
preciated. L. H.— Tenn.

For cucumber blight or wilt there is
as yet no known remedy. That it is

MentloB T1i« ReTlwr whwi yen wrtte.

infectious the majority of cucumber
men are agreed, and pulling out affected
plants, or at least cutting out wilted
portions as soon as they appear, is to
be recommended. This and other bac-
terial affections are largely prevented
by sterilizing the soil well before plant-
ing. This applies to both cucumbers
and lettuce: Do not use any nitrate of
soda on cucumbers. There is no better
food for them than cow manure, either
as a top-dressing or in liquid form, if
you can procore it.

Your treatment of the cucumbers
seems to have been as nearly correct as
possible, but this wilt appears in the
houses of our most expert growers from
time to time, so do not get discouraged.

Forty-first annual meeting, Milwaukee, Wis.,
June 28 to 30, 1916.

Herbert E. Latter, Norman P. Coffin
and C. L. Eimlinger, of Wilmington, Del.,
have incorporated the W. B. Davis Green-
house Co. at $200,000. Fruit and shade
trees are the principal products.

The season has been most favorable
for the nursery trade. The late spring
gave excellent opportunity to get orders
out and planting done, while recent rains
have helped greatly in giving the stock
a good start.

The McKinney Nursery Co., of McKin-
ney, Tex., has been a successful bidder
for government contracts covering the
planting of shrubs and trees on the
grounds of federal buildings in several
southern cities.

The D. Hill Nursery Co., Dundee, 111.,
has found so good an opening in the
florists' trade for evergreens and other
ornamentals, that it is going in on im-
ported forcing stock, azaleas, aucubas,
lily bulbs, etc.

Nurserymen will be interested in the
decision of the Washington Supreme
court in the case of Meehan vs. Ingalls,
reported in the Seed Trade Department
of this issue. It concerns the recovery of
the price of apple and pear seeds that
failed to germinate.

William A. Peterson, Chicago, is ab-
sent from home in peony season for the
first time in many years. The Peterson
family for a part of this week is at Rich-
mond, Ind., where the eldest son, Harold,
is graduating from the Quaker college
of Earlham. Harold Peterson purposes
to become a missionary. The younger
son, Norman, is in the office of Peter-
son Nursery.

first annual convention of the American

LAST WEEK'S IMPORTS.

According to a manifest on file at
the New York customhouse, the Dutch
steamer Maasdyke, from Rotterdam,
which arrived at New York June. 5, had
on board only five consignments for the
trade, as follows: J. Roehrs Co., 130
tubs trees; A. Rolker & Sons, 2 cases
trees; Wadley & Smythe, 254 tubs
trees; Maltus & Ware, 1 case plants;
Gray Bros., 13 packages bulbs.

PITTSBURGH, PA.

The Market.

Pittsburgh has been experiencing cool
weather, with a few rains every day.
Flowers have been arriving in great
quantities, especially roses and carna-
tions. There was not enough business
to move the daily cuts, and by Saturday
the street boys were able to buy stock
at a song, and nearly every downtown
doorway was occupied by a flower mer-
chant Saturday night. It looks now
as though the worst was over. Peonies
are done. The outdoor roses are at
their best, but a few days will finish
them, and after that good flowers will be
more in demand and harder to obtain.

Some fine Spanish irises are coming
in and are in great demand. Cattleyas
have been fine, especially C. gigas,
which brings $9 per dozen without any
trouble. There are a few large wed-
dings in view to close the month, and
these, combined with school commence-
ments, will put life in business during
the remainder of the month. After
that time all hands probably will expe-
rience the usual summer business, or
lack of business.

The Market.

Trade is diminishing somewhat now
that the bedding season is drawing to
a close, but there still is plenty of
work to be disposed of. The demand
for porch boxes, etc., has been unusu-
ally heavy and has broken all records.
Bedding stock as a rule has cleaned up
in good shape and there has been much
hustling done to obtain enough vincas
to meet all demands. The demand has
been heavy for potted roses, and there
still are many of them moving. The
frequent rains have made it difficult
to finish outdoor work and the cool
weather has retarded the development
of most outdoor stock.

Boses are of fine quality and are
moving nicely. Beauties are more
plentiful and the demand for them has
been increased by the school commence-
ments. Carnations are of inferior
quality and there is an abundance of
them. Sweet peas are moving nicely,
for corsages, as valley has been par-
ticularly scarce. Some good gladioli
and Spanish irises are to be seen at
this time.

There are a number of prominent
weddings booked for this month, and
it is likely that some of the craft will
be working overtime. According to re-
ports, everyone is well satisfied with
this spring's trade. J. M.

MERRY CHRISTMAS

FIVE YEARS AGO we offered you Pocahontas, with the assurance that it would soon displace all other
crimsons. Some of you bought it and were glad. Others turned it down and later on regretted having done
so. That is why the demand for the cuttings was fully double the supply this past winter. This is not
meant for a complaint, but merely to caution you not to make the same mistake with Merry Christinas. We
believe that Merry Christmas will take the same place among scarlets that Pocahontas holds among the
crimsons. If you have confidence in our judgment, send us your order now and get in on the early deliveries. Dissemina-
tion begins next December.

The Market.

The market, which was glutted with
stock at the beginning of the week,
was in somewhat better condition at
the close of the week. The four days
of steady rain shortened the cut to some
extent and kept the surplus down so
that it was not troublesome. Good
stock cleaned up well and, taken as a
whole, business was good last week.
Shipping trade was exceptionally good
and the stock was in fine shape. Both
carnations and roses are plentiful and
good, but the receipts of sweet peas
fell off tremendously and these were
really scarce for a time. The weather
has improved, but the needed drop in
the cut brought the supply down so
that it could be handled without diffi-
culty.

Valley and greens are having a large
sale, on account of the June weddings.
The supply is sufficient to take care of
the demand. Outdoor peonies are be-
ginning to come in, but the supply is
small and easily handled. Orchids are
in good supply and are selling well.
Plant sales continue large and a large
quantity of stock is being moved. The
late spring will probably carry this
business through to the end of this
month. ^^^^ jj^g

William Lubliner, of 225 Grand ave-
nue, has attracted much attention with
his display window this spring.
Mothers' day he had a model of a
benevolent lady, with a messenger
bringing her a box of flowers. Memo-
rial day a grave, with models of an old
soldier and a little girl, made quite an
impression. He now has a replica of a
blushing bride for the merry month of

The Florists' Review

JUNB 15, 1916.

OMAHA, NEB.

The Market.

Irises and gladioli, which made their
appearance a couple of weeks ago, are
arriving in large quantities. Sweet
peas are plentiful and cheap. Funeral
work has been heavy during the last
few weeks and has helped to keep the
supply fairly well cleaned up. Now
thatt the greenhouses have been cleared
of bedding stock, the growers are be-
ginning to plan more actively for fall.
They are planting mums and roses, of
which some excellent stock is to be
seen.

Various Notes.

Eudolph Timmler is sending in the
first Shasta daisies of the season.
They are especially fine, having stems
fifteen to eighteen inches in length.

Paul Floth did the bedding work for
King park, and it was a good job.

The Stewart Seed Store is experienc-
ing the best season it ever had. Mrs.
Stewart still takes an active interest
in the business.

Memorial day business was exception-
ally good with most of the local flo-
rists. Eoses and carnations were in
good supply, but peonies were some-
what scarce. Shipped-in stock of the
latter in most cases was of poor qual-
ity. The home-grown stock arrived
three days too late.

John Bath has been busy of late with
funeral work. He says that the total
business of the passing season will be
far in excess of that of last year.

At the Hess & Swoboda range rose
planting will be finished this week.
The young stock of mums never looked
better, and as fast as the benches can
be cleared of left-over bedding stock,
etc., young stock will be put in.

Rosenfeldt's peony farm is one of
the show places of Omaha just at pres-
ent. The thirty or forty acres are one
mass of bloom from one end to the
other. These peonies, arriving a few
days too late for Memorial day, re-
suited in a loss of several thousand
dollars.

The Bowlers' Scores.

Only a few of the boys turned out
for the bowling match June 7, which
was won by the Council Bluffs trades-
men by the small margin of eighty-eiKht
pins. The score follows:

NORTHAMPTON, MASS.

The regular meeting of the Holyoke
and Northampton Gardeners' and Flo-
rists' Club was held June 6 at the bo-
tanic garden of Smith College, North-
ampton, Mass. Before settling to busi-
ness members found many things of
interest in the herbaceous .garden and
greenhouses of the college. The prin-
cipal business transacted was the adop-
tion of a schedule for the annual flower
show, to be held in Northampton, No-
vember 1 and 2.

George Strugnell read a paper on hy-
drangeas, in which he is a specialist.
G. J. Canning exhibited sprays of an
interesting collection of flowering
shrubs, including some of the little
known kinds. In the greenhouses the

The Market.

The market is well supplied in all
seasonable lines. The receipts of flow-
ers are so heavy that buyers practically
dictate prices. Eoses are plentiful.
The offerings of Taft, My Maryland,
Ophelia and Sunburst, as well as
American Beauties, are of tolerably
good quality. Carnations, too, are
plentiful, but there is only a limited
quantity of first-class stock. Gladioli
are fairly abundant and sell well. The
cut of Easter lilies is large. Excellent
valley and orchids may be had. Snap-
dragons have a fair market. Sweet
peas are in moderate supply. Other
flowers in the market are callas, corn-
flowers, water lilies and coreopsis.
Greens are plentiful.

Various Notes.

One of the interesting events of last
week was the marriage of Miss L.
Rosalia Gillett, daughter of Mr. and
Mrs. E. G. Gillett, to William F. May-
hall. The ceremony took place at 5:30
a. m. at the Holy Family church, at
Price Hill. Only the immediate mem-
bers of the families were present. The
wedding breakfast was servpd by the
Sinton hotel. The happy couple left
at noon Saturday, June 10, on an ex-
tended honeymoon trip to the east.
They will be at home July 1," at 560
Purcell avenue, Price Hill.

week were: Arthur E. Becker, the pop-
ular Avondale florist, who married Miss
Hannah M. Baer; Neil Forder, the Hyde

"Ward, and Miss Muriel J. Murphy, a
daa^hter of the late George Murphy,

ask The Eeview 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 Ijuy,
and each article the best in the special
field of its adaptation.

MAEINQ A COIL BOILER.

My greenhouse is 10x80 and ten feet
high to the ridge. My present heating
system consists of a furnace and a sin-
gle row of stovepipes running the length
of the house, under one bench, but this
arrangement is unsatisfactory. The
furnace is about 3x4 feet and about two
and one-half feet high. "Would I get
better results by putting coils in the
furnace? If so, .what size of pipe would
you suggest for the purpose and how
many coils should the furnace contain?
What piping would be needed in the
greenhouse, to maintain a temperature
of 60 degrees in zero weather?

P. W.— Wash.

We would prefer to put in a regular
hot water boiler, rated for 480 square
feet of radiation, or even to use a sec-
ondhand tubular steam boiler with a
grate twenty to twenty-four inches
square. However, if the furnace de-
scribed is so located that the top will
be below the lower ends of the return
<;oils, it will be possible to put heating
coils inside and use them as a hot
water boiler.

We would use eight 2-inch pipes for
the coils, with the necessary ells and
close nipples, and would have the pipes
the length of the inside of the furnace.
Start one coil on each side of the fur-
nace at the back end and about eight
inches above the grate. Carry these
pipes to the front end of the furnace,
and return each of them to the back
df the furnace along the side, about
three inches above the first pipes.
There connect each of these pipes with
other pipes running to the front of the
furnace over the fire-box, and then re-
turn these to the r^r end. You will
then have two separate coils in the fur-
nace, each consisting of two pipes, one
above the other, on each side of the
furnace, and two others on their re-
spective sides overhead. Connect the
lower end of each of these coils with
the returns from each side of the house
and the upper ends with the flb-W pipes.

Ca4t Iron Cannot Be Compared with
Kroeschell

We bought a No. 2 Boiler in 1904.
It takes care of 5000 sq. ft. of glass,
and we could add 2000 more. We are
very well satisfied. We used a cast
iron boiler before we had yours. It
cannot be compared Vith the Kroe-
schell boiler. Your boiler has cer-
tainly a great capacity for heating

Cast Iron Boilers Break Down
Have fired greenhouse boilers since
1885, both steam and hot water.
Yours suits me the best. I have two
of your boilers. At one time I had
two cast iron boilers working to-
gether, and during a blizzard the
rear section of one boiler gave out
and the front section of the other
sprung a crack a couple of months
later. No more cast iron boilers for
me. 1 came very close to freezing
out In both instances.

Cast Iron Boiler Cracked in Two
Years

We have a No. 4 Kroeschell Boiler.
It takes care of 7000 sq. ft. of glass;
It would take care of twice that
amount.

I first had a new cast iron boiler
which lasted two years, when it
cracked to pieces. The second was a
second-hand boiler.

I consider your boiler the best pay-
ing investment I ever made.

You can refer anyone to us.

Cast Iron Boilers Cause Freeze-out —
Kroeschell Boilers No Worry

I bought a No. 2 boiler in 1902.
Takes care of 7000 sq. ft. of glass —
would take care of 2000 more. I have
had a cast iron boiler, but it broke
down twice in four years, always in
the coldest weather. It broke down
Dec. 29, 1904, and I lost all my stock
in consequence. I have now two No. 2
and one No. 6 Kroeschell boilers and
do not worry about their breaking
down.

The No. 7 Boiler I bought from you

I do not have any trouble to keep up

For the heating system in the house,
for a temperature of 60 degrees, use a
2-inch flow pipe on each plate and two
2-inch returns on each wall, or under
each side bench. Join the lower ends
of the pipes in the return coils and
connect each coil with one side of the
furnace by means of a 2-inch pipe. Ar-
range the pipes so that they will run
downhill, with the highest part of the
system at the heater, and connect each
of the flow pipes with a pipe leading
to a 5-gallon expansion tank, which, if
possible, should be placed ten feet or
more above the boiler, although it will
answer if it is located just under the
ridge of the greenhouse.

Josh Billings' Cow

HOW IT CONCERNS YOUR HEATING

Tosh had a way of saying serious
-^ things in an amusing way. One of
them was: "Always take hold of a cow
by the tail, and then you can let go
when you want to."

Some growers follow Josh's advice and
completely let go their greenhouse
heating the minute their fires go out.

They let it go so completely that they
never take hold again until Jack Frost
tells them it's "firing time."

Such fellows ought to take hold of
their heating by the horns and then
they wouldn't dare let go.

We have a notion you are one of the
never-let-go kind; in which case you
will, right now, want to talk heating
with us.

And in which case we are right now
ready to talk heating with you.

is the best way to arrange the piping?
Will you also name a few roses that
I can grow in pots? Will the house
be too small for growing a few carna-
tions for local customers? I wish to use
the house for general purposes in con-
nection with a retail trade. If my
plans are carried out, I shall enlarge
the space under glass until the whole
lot is occupied. J. M. — Ind.

The description and sketch are not
entirely clear and we cannot be sure
whether the addition is to be a lean-to,
like the original house, or an even-
span house. The sketch shows three
feet of glass in the side wall of the
lean-to, but whether there is glass in
either side of the new house is not
stated. However, we shall consider it
even-span, with glass in one wall. Had
the size of the grate been stated, we
should be able to make some estimate
of the capacity of the boiler, but we
can only say that if it has a grate
twenty inches in diameter it should
heat the two greenhouses to 60 degrees
in zero weather, with the new house
fourteen feet wide.

The heater can be placed in a cellar
under the kitchen, and from it one 2"^-
inch flow pipe should lead into the
present greenhouse. If the new house
is even-span, we would run this flow
pipe overhead, just under the ridge, and
would connect it at the farther end of
the extension with six 2-inch pipes, of
which three should be on each side
wall and should be carried as far as
the door at the southwest end of the
present house and the one in the north-
west wall leading to the basement. At
those points connect each coil with a
2%-inch main return leading to the
boiler.

This will give sufficient heat for
growing carnations and bedding plants,
but we would discourage giving much
attention to roses. A few Baby Eam-
blers might be bought in the fall, either
field-grown or from 3-inch pots, and
brought into bloom for sale as house
plants at Easter.

A NEW SEMI-IBON HOUSE.

I expect to build a greenhouse, 21x40
and five and one-half feet to the eaves.
There will be twenty-eight inches of
glass in each side wall; the lower part
of the walls will consist of concrete
blocks. One of the gables will be ex-
posed; the other will adjoin the service
building. I shall use hot* water heat.
The house will be a semi-iron frame
stock house, of Lord & Burnham con-
struction. The roof will have a 6-inch
pitch. How much pipe will be needed
for the flows and coils? Will a Rippley
hot water boiler heat this house to 60
degrees in zero weather, or will it bo
necessary to use two, yoked together?
Should the coils be hung on the walls
or placed beneath the benches? If be-
neath the benches, please state the dis-
tance from bench to pipes.

MINNEAPOLIS.

The Market.

All the growers had a fine trade in
spring plants. It is impossible now to
buy hydrangeas or marguerites in the
Twin Cities. Vincas, too, are nearly
sold out. Eoses in pots are done and
the florists are at their wits' end to
get presentable stock together for vases
and window boxes. Some splendid dec-
orations are to be seen. Color schemes
are followed out with great taste. Out
stock in general is scarce and high-
priced.

Various Notes.

Max Kaiser is busy preparing for fall
business. A fine lot of Pteris tremula
were being potted up. In the cold-
frames were a few thousands of cycla-
mens in many sizes. They were a fine
lot of plants. No doubt our Chicago
friends will remember Mr. Kaiser's
cyclamens at the Chicago exhibition last
fall. French hydrangeas were in evi-
dence.

The Chicago Avenue Greenhouses
have cleaned out the spring stock and
are busy planting asters in the benches.
They have two nice houses of Boston
ferns.

Thomas Hall has a fine lot of roses
and sweet peas. He is working a 16-
hour day trying to keep up with orders.

The Lakewood Cemetery Greenhouses
are cutting a fine lot of sweet peas.
The varieties grown are Yarrawa, King
Edward VII, Lady Spencer, Fordhook
Pink and Christmas Pink.

The Minneapolis Floral Co. has
cleaned up the stock in several houses
and is now busy planting chrysanthe-
mums. The firm will shortly tear down
part of the greenhouses.

Will Desmond, formerly manager of
the flower department of the L. S. Don-
aldson Co., is making things hum at the
Lyndale Nursery, which he has taken
over from Mr. Cargill. He proposes to
develop and enlarge the business. His
long association with the L. S. Donald-
son Co. has made him well known
throughout the Twin Cities. He can
succeed if he will, and I guess that Will
will. At the Donaldson greenhouses
there is a fine lot of Boston ferns. All
spring stock has been sold out and
about twice the quantity could have
been sold if available.

The California Fruit Store has had
a fine showing of roses and irises.

Wm. F. Holmes has had his usual
splendid window displays.

The Mazey Floral Co. has had a fine
ghowing . of peonies and roses during
the week.

Thos. S. Lynes has a splendid stock
of roses, carnations, etc. He always
endeavors to have plenty of the best
stock. He is exceedingly busy with de-
sign work.

The New York Florists have a special
line of ferns and are doing a splendid
business.

O. C. Swanson has a beautiful show-
ing of unusually artistically arranged
baskets.

The R. M. Chapman Co. always has
splendid window decorations of cut
flowers, ferns an<i— JwNBkets. The firm
has a large'tetail trade and does a great
deal of decorating of homes, churches,
etc.

The Florists' Review

JCNB 15, 1916.

I, -POET WAYNE, IND.-

The Market.

The weather last week was unfavor-
able to the florists' business. There was
almost a continual rain from Monday
morning until Saturday noon, with the
result that centennial week, for which
great preparations had been made, was
exceedingly poor as far as business was
concerned. Counter trade was exceed-
ingly slow, despite the many out-of-town
visitors in the city. The pageant, rep-
resenting the history of Indiana and
Fort Wayne, was postponed several
nights and the industrial exposition, in
which many of the local florists had
booths, was so poorly attended that the
merchants have extended the time of
their exhibits to this week.

Wedding work was good last week
and there were decorations for recep-
tions and a goodly quantity of funeral
work. School graduation exercises, as
usual, are creating a demand.

Stock of all kinds is exceedingly
plentiful. Peonies are the flowers most-
ly in evidence at present, the retail
stores displaying them to fine advantage
in window decorations. They sell at $1
per dozen. Eoses are plentiful and of
superb quality. The short and medium
lengths meet with a better demand than
the select grades. American Beauties
are scarce. Carnations are of fine qual-
ity for this season of the year, due prin-
cipally to the cool weather. Giganteum
lilies and callas are plentiful and bring
$8 and $10 per hundred. Snapdragons
are good and retail at 75 cents to $1
per dozen. Gladioli bring $1 per dozen.
Cattleyas are in fine supply and are of-
fered at $1 to $1.25 each. The supply of
sweet peas is moderate, and the outdoor
flowers are in large supply. Yellow dai-
sies, forget-me-nots, German iris, pan-
sies, sweet Williams and oriental poppies
are plentiful. Green goods of all kinds
are in large demand.

Various Notes.

The annual flower festival of the Fort
Wayne normal school will be given Sat-
urday, June 17, at 3:30 p. m.

Miss Georgia Flick appeared in the
pageant as a dancing girl in the Irish
group of ballet dancers. Mr. and Mrs.
Aaron Shive, Mr. and Mrs. Richard
Blossom and Misses Mildred and Alice
Flick motored to Rockf ord, O., last Sun-
day. The Flick Floral Co. has a number
of large wedding orders booked for this
week.

Judge W. J. Vesey, Miss Margaret
Vesey and Mr. and Mrs. Will Vesey, Jr.,
left June 12 for Delaware, O., where
they will attend the commencement
exercises of the Ohio Wesleyan Univer-
sity, from which Miss Catherine Vesey
will be graduated. R. F.

BUFFALO, N. Y.

The lilarket.

The weather has been playing havoc
with outdoor stock, especially peonies,
and the growers have had a rather
hard time trying to get the carnation
stock planted in the fields. Last week
Buffalo and vicinity had a continuous
downpour of rain. Beauties are poor
in quality, with the demand none too
large. Graduation exercises are creat-
ing a large demand for yellow roses, of
which the supply is limited. Wedding
decorations consume all white roses ob-
tainable. Carnations are becoming
smaller in size and some varieties are
showing the effects of the weather.
Easter lilies are sufficient in supply for
present needs. The only occasions on
which they are used are funerals and
weddings. Valley is uncertain; the out-
door stock is poor and somewhat
scarce, while indoor stock leans to the
short side. Cattleyas are scarce. Baby
gladioli are popular and meet with
ready sales. Sweet peas are used ex-
tensively for corsages. There was
quite a big demand for yellow daisies
for school commencements. Marigolds,
too, were used for that purpose. Corn-
flowers are arriving in larger quantities.

Various Notes.

Barney Myers, of Lancaster, is send-
ing in carnations of superb quality,
considering the time of year. They
actually are as good as in winter, when
at their best.

Mr. Allen, of Onondaga, was a recent

Following an exceptionally busy Me-

June saw the florists on the hustle, not-
withstanding the long spell of rainy
weather. With the large number of
weddings and the usual school grad-
uations, the month is expected to
be one of unusually good business.
There is an abundance of stock at mod-
erate prices. In addition to large sales
of cut flowers, the demand for potted
plants continues especially lively.

NEWARK, N. J.

The Market.

Inclement weather several days last
week affected business adversely, espe-
cially transient trade. As a whole, the
florists' business in Newark is good for
this season of the year. There con-
tinues to be much funeral work and the
wedding season has arrived. Notwith-
standing the fact that the weather has
been cold, there is an abundance of
flowers in the market and the prices
are low. Eoses, which were scarce and
high, now are plentiful and cheap. Car-
nations and sweet peas are abundant.
Orchids are selling three for $1. Calla
lilies are quite plentiful, but the qual-
ity of some of those coming into the
market is not up to standard. Easter
lilies are arriving in good numbers and
are of good quality. Iris is rapidly
passing away. The blue and white va-
rieties have practically disappeared
and the yellow will last but a few days.
Lilacs have gone for this season. Peo-
nies are coming to their own, each week
seeing a larger quantity and a larger
variety. They sell readily at medium
prices. Gladioli are of fine quality and
more abundant. Snapdragons are suf-
ficient for the demand. Fine marigolds
are on sale and ragged sailors are plen-
tiful. Foliage plants are in great de-
mand and there still is a fair demand
for bedding plants, such as geraniums,
fuchsias, heliotropes, etc. Some of the
florists are closing out their last hardy
roses, and, although a little late in the
season, considerable numbers are being
sold. There is a fair demand for Bos-
ton and other ferns.

Various Notes.

The new Newafk directory lists the
names and addresses of fifty-six florists
and nurserymen.

The company heretofore known as
Kimmerle & Minder, at 488 South
Orange avenue, now is Kimmerle,
Minder & Son. The company reports
good business.

William Weismantel is bidding for
the graduation trade. He reports that
business has been good. No cut prices,
but fair proflts and quick sales, is his
motto.

The Ivy Flower Shop reports a large
quantity of funeral work. Many orders
for wedding decorations have been
booked.

Hutchinson's, of Elizabeth, are much
pleased with the general condition of
trade and report that it has been a
most satisfactory season. There has
been some graduation trade, but not so
much as a few years ago, before the
giving of flowers was prohibited at the
graduation exercises of some of the
schools. B. B. M.

Slouz Falls, S. D. — Coleman the Flo-
rist is the successor to Joe Tossini, one
of Sioux Falls' pioneer florists. .Mr.
Coleman has remodeled the store and
made improvements at the range. Mr.
Tossini is retiring — "he brought home
the bacon," says Mr. Colemen.

SHOULD A MOURNER

^ SEND A BASKET?

Should we encourage the use of baskets for floivers at the sad affairs?
Will the frequent use of baskets at funerals have the effect of destroying
their popularity for presentation purposes f Would it be well to hold this
style of arrangement in reserve for joyous occasions?

OBODY -will dispute that
"^|k ^ a man gets to be known
R^j^L I by the company he keeps.
1^^ What, then, is the status
"^ of the basket found fre-

^ ^ quently in association
-^— ' with the calla, the tube-

rose, or that taxidermists',
pot-boiler, the snow white
dove with outstretched
wings and beady eyes? What, it is
repeated, will be the fate of the basket
if it comes to be associated with the
men with the white cotton gloves?

But, you say, the basket is not known
as a receptacle for funeral flowers, that,
on the contrary, it is not seen often
amid the sad surroundings. True, but
-listen.

Its Use Increasing.

Florists have got so into the habit
of using baskets, a basket for this,
a basket for that, a basket for every-
thing, that they are recommending bas-
kets for funerals — one sees them there
much more frequently than in the quite
recent past. If it isn't custom, it's
growing.

The day was when a wire frame was
the first thing that flashed to mind when
funeral flowers were mentioned. If it
is not so today it is
because of the creation
of the spray. But who
would think of sending
a spray to any affair
but a funeral? Do we
want it to be like that
with the basket?

Take the case of the
calla. Why do the
callas go to waste if
there is not enough
funeral work to use
them up? Do you
know any finer flower
than the calla? No,
but it's white, you
say. Sure, and in the
early days there were
so few suitable white
flowers that, no matter
what else there was at
a funeral, there always
were some callas. So
people got to associat-
ing callas with funer-
als, until today callas
can be used for no
other purpose.

To get the basket
into the same class as
the calla we have only
to fill one with the
other and perch a dove
on the handle. Do it

often enough and the result is certain.
This is not an argument against it;
it is merely a statement of fact.

A Wonderful Popularity.

It is fair to say that no accessory
ever placed in flower stores has had
the wonderful popularity of the basket.
The trade was slow to take it up and
the brainy men in the supply business
met many obstacles in their efforts to
get retailers to try to sell baskets as
well as flowers, but, once fairly started,
the vogue of the basket quickly be-
came general. It is really marvelous
what great quantities of baskets some
of the stores now use and in practically
all of them there is a good stock, with
glass or tin liners to hold water. Some
large retail stores even have their own
decorating departments, with air
brushes for staining in any desired color
baskets bought in the natural. In many
a store the dollar basket of flowers has
run a dead heat with the dollar box.

The great increase in the sale for
baskets has been coincident with the
fall in prices; realizing that the earlier
costs were too high for the average
store, the supply men sought materials
and manufacturing processes that would
permit the pricing of baskets "within

Callas and Doves Suggest the Men wHh White Cotton Gloves.

the reach of all," until today baskets
are to be had in exchange for pennies
as well as for dimes and dollars, a
"price for every pjirse."

But the best part of the big sales of -
baskets has not been the profit thereby
made, but has been found in the oppor- .
tunity afforded to diversify the re-
tailer's offerings to the public.

Try as we will, flowers are much
alike from year to year, but there is in-
finite variety in baskets.

Variety the Spice of Sales.

Prior to 1915 practically all the bas-
kets used by florists were of foreign
manufacture, principally the product of
German hearthstone industry. When it
was seen that the war had shut off this
supply there was consternation and a
scramble, but the alarm was needless —
American ingenuity has met the emer-
gency and today American supply
houses are manufacturing all the bas-
kets American florists need. As a fur-
ther gain, besides keeping the money at
home, American baskets are better than
imported baskets; they are as well
made, are only slightly more costly and
are more "classy" in appearance.
Then, too, there is a distinct gain in
the way ideas can be worked out. The
Europeans never
changed a style — as
long as a basket could
be sold, they made it.
The new styles almost
all were originated by
th6 buyers, who in the
ease of American sup- ^_.
ply houses, after they
had written describing
the basket they had in
mind, had to wait
months for a sample
and then other months
for stock, if the sample
had embodied the idea.
Now all this is
changed. The supply
man gets an idea; he
goes to his factory
foreman; the foreman
calls in a workman; in
an hour or two the
sample is ready; there
is a conference; a sec-
ond sample is made;
next day the new num-
ber is on sale; it is a
hit.

The retailer who has

ifj/^jk & happy thought goes

^SHP to his supply man, tells

what he wants and in

a few days has a nifty

novelty all hia own.

Let Us Boost.

The basket business is so fine an ad-
junct to the flower business that we all
should boost. But will it prove a boost
to the basket business to recommend
the use of baskets for funeral flowers?
Will it increase the sale of baskets for
presentation and decorative purposes or
will it curtail the sale through the asso-
ciation of unhappy ideas? It is a ques-
tion to which this article does not pro-
fess to afford an answer. Who can tell?

KIGHTS OF CEMETERY.

I have a few questions on which, if
it is possible, I would like to have your
opinion and also the opinion of the
trade.

There is a greenhouse located in the
cemetery in a city under 35,000 inhab-
itants. The greenhouse does not pay
taxes to the city, because it is located
in a cemetery which is not taxable.

No outside florist is allowed to make
and fill flower beds, urns or plant shrub-
bery for any of the lot owners. As
near as we can estimate we could plant
between 100 and 150 beds if we were
allowed to plant inside the cemetery.
Some of these beds are planted by the
association, while other lot owners will
not have them planted unless we do
the work, and so no one profits by not
allowing us to plant them.

Inside the cemetery they charge for

outside the cemetery without paying
taxes; also, if they come out and pay
taxes on the greenhouses only, whether
they would have any more right to sell
inside than any other florist.

We feel that it is a burden to compel
us to pay taxes when another who en-
ters into competition with us does not
pay a cent and besides will not let us
sell inside the cemetery to people who
will not patronize them.

We wish to get what information or
opinions the trade has on this subject.
Please omit the name of the town and
person inquiring. You may mention the
state if you wish; it is Ohio. B.

The rights of a cemetery association
are based on the law of the state in
which the cemetery is incorporated and
on local laws not in conflict with the
law of the state. The scope of the
cemetery's operations under the law are
defined and limited by its clfarter and
by its constitution and by-laws. No
man could pass an intelligent opinion
in any case without a full knowledge
of the facts in that case and the study
of the state law and the association's
charter and by-laws. Most of the states
make special and liberal provision for
cemeteries in spite of the fact that in
recent years many cemeteries are no
more than private corporations, con-
ceived, organized and operated for in-
dividual profit, just as is a florists ' busi-

making the beds, but the cemetery flo-
rists will go outside and not charge a
cent outside of the actual cost of the
plants. They sell shrubs, cut flowers,
potted plants, vegetable plants or any-
thing else in the florists' line to be
used outside the cemetery.

We would like to know if, in your
opinion, they have a right to sell plants

ness. But, liberal as are the laws, ceme-
teries in some cases doubtless exceed
their legal rights, for the simple rea-
son that no restraint is put upon the
managers. It was reported in The Ee-
view for June 8 that the florists of
Lincoln, Neb., have joined in injunc-
tion proceedings in the effort to check
a specific instance of cemetery compe-

tition and The Review will be pleased
to publish letters from readers giving,
not opinions, but definite information
of how cemetery competition and re-
strictions have been met in other in-
stances.

SUCCESSFUL ADVEBTISINQ.

[An extract from an address by Frank B.
White at the Seedsmen's Convention, Chicago,
June 20, that affords "food for thought" for
those In every branch of the horticultural
trades. ]

Good advertising is a plain, honest
statement of fact. Good advertising is
truth-telling. Good advertising is in-
tended to acquaint the man in need with
the man who has to sell.

The advertising should square up with
the article. If it is good, it will, but
it is more important to have the article
support the advertising — in fact, it is
best to give a little better than you
promised to. Better underrate in your
statements than to exaggerate. I am
talking about good advertising — Fair
Play Advertising — the kind that, will
make your customer happy and satisfied
to remain a customer.

Various Kinds of Advertising.

There are various kinds of advertis-
ing. One kind is for those who wish to
make themselves or their product famil-
iarly known, thus inducing the purchas-
er to inquire for it when he buys
through the regular established channels
of trade. Another is what is known as
mail order advertising and is intended
to reach out and find the customer, in-
ducing him to send his money and his
order by mail. He must be instructed
in a different way. In either case the
goods themselves will prove to be the
best or the worst advertisement. If
they are according to representation,
they will make a lasting impression and
prove to be the best kind of advertis-
ing. If they are not as represented,
woe betide the man who sold, so far as
this particular customer is concerned.
Honesty in advertising is not different
from honesty in business in any other
capacity.

One of the things to be hoped
for is that the true-to-name principle
may obtain and that many of the high
sounding names applied to common va-
rieties may be dispensed with.

There are laws affecting advertising.

Justice McKenna recently commented

upon a decision of the Supreme court in

the following terms:

Mere "pufltog" might not be within Its mean-
ing— that Is, mere exaggeration of the qualities
the article has; but wlrten a seller goes beyond
that, assigns to the article qualities it does not
possess, invents advantages and falsely asserts
their existence, he engages in false representa-
tions and pretenses.

The decision construes only the act
against unlawful use of the mails and
directly applies to schemes worked
through that medium of publicity, but
it is evident that the same reasoning
would apply to other modes of adver-
tising. In short, it is unlawful to put
into an article in word description what
it does not possess in fact. Too much
advertising is done thoughtlessly or
without due regard for the conse-
quences.

Too Much Expected.

Another difficulty is that too much is
expected from advertising copy. You
plant the advertising today and you ex-
pect to reap a profitable crop tomorrow.
Time is an element to be reckoned with
in business as in all things else. It is
particularly so in advertising. An ob-

stacle to be overcome is that of preju-
dice. Here the element of time, as well
as constant application of advertising,
must do its work.

Advertising is a growth. Your adver-
tising may require years of continuous
effort in order to make it 'as profitable
as it should be. It requires years of
skillful effort to perfect a new plant.
You expect to wait in your own busi-
ness. You must be just as patient and
reasonable in considering the time ele-
ment in advertising. Success ultimately
comes to the man who waits, and works
while he waits.

I have yet to hear of an advertiser
who has persistently, judiciously and
intelligently advertised for any consid-
erable length of time, and has supported
that advertising in the proper conduct
of his business in other directions, who
has not succeeded. Loss through adver-
tising is largely due to inadequate sup-
port, indifferent or useless extravagance.
Your business, like your soil, must not
be robbed. It is a law of nature that
where we receive much, we must give
something in return. Your soil will
wear out if you do not fertilize and
properly care for it. Your business will
run down if you do not advertise and
keep it in a healthy state of cultiva-
tion.

Warmth and Zeal.

It is activity that causes growth and
development; in fact, it is activity that
makes us strong. An active advertis-
ing campaign will make your business
healthy and strong. Plan your adver-
tising campaign wisely during the

quieter months, so that proper time can
be given to every phase of it, and be
sure that you eliminate guesswork and
uncertainty as much as possible. Put
warmth and zeal into every phase of
your business and make your advertis-
ing of a warm, inviting nature, so that
customers will not only buy but be sat-
isfied when they have bought.

Do not overadvertise. Too much food
is injurious to the body. To pass be-
yond your ability to properly assimilate
is unwise. It is equally unwise to ex-
pect your advertising to return yOu full
service on half rations. The advertis-
ing should be made to fit the business.
Do not try to make your business
fit somebody's ready-made advertising
plan. Do not be satisfied with any-
thing short of the best and then use
just enough of it to make a good bal-
anced ration, and your business will
grow and flourish.

THE AEMY WORM.

At this season of the year, in the
eastern half of the United States, the
army worm frequently does much dam-
age to field crops. The worm gets its
name from its characteristic of travel-
ing in masses. When an army of these
worms is at work in a field the champ-
ing of their jaws is plainly to be heard,
as they greedily devour every blade in
sight. If the infested spot be small,
the crop can be mowed off and straw
scattered over the spot and burned,
thus, destroying the worms. If the
caterpillars have become distributed
over a considerable area, this can be

marked off by stakes and the crop
sprayed heavily with a mixture of Paris
green at the rate of one pound to fifty
gallons of water. Poisoned baits of
varying composition have long been
used as a means of destroying the many
different species of cutworms and also
the army worm. An efficient bait of
this kind may be prepared and used
as follows: To fifty pounds of wheat
bran and one pound of Paris green or
two pounds of arsenate of lead add the
juice of one-half dozen oranges or
lemons. Then bring the mass to a stiff
dough by adding low-grade molasses
and scatter the mixture broadcast in
small pieces throughout the infested
field.

A SAN FEANCISCO WINDOW.

The retail flower stores in San Fran-
cisco are famous all over the country
for the striking but artistic quality of
their window displays; travelers com-
ment on them as one of the sights of
the city.

Cedar Bapids, la. — This is the season
when the florists meet with their great-
est competition, many growers of out-
door flowers being in the market with
considerable quantities of stock. Charles

Trust building, is a large grower of
peonies and has been marketing a fine

Asters.

Keep the cultivator constantly at
work among the early asters. Particu-
larly is this necessary when the weather
is warm and dry. The amount of
drought these annuals will stand when
the soil about them is kept constantly
tickled is surprising. The disturbance
of the soil and the creation of a fine,
dry soil mulch also acts as a deterrent
to soil pests. Birds are always to be
found actively at work on newly stirred
land, and the numbers of earthworms,
cutworms, wireworms and other pests
destroyed by our feathered friends are
enormous. The present month should
see the planting out of the main batch
of asters, such as American Branching.
They are robust in habit and need more
space than Comet, Queen of the Market
or Victoria. There is still time to make
a final sowing of aster seed, but it must
go in without delay.

Sweet Peas.

Outdoor sweet peas are liable to be
attacked by green aphis in early sum-
mer and, unless prompt measures are
taken to check it, great harm will be
done to the plants. Spraying with a
nicotine or soap spray will be found
effective. In addition, the plants will
be benefited and pests discouraged by
occasional sprayings with the hose,
especially if a spray nozzle is used. As
the plants approach the flowering stage
they will be much benefited if they are
given a mulch of lawn mowings, old
manure, meadow hay or straw. If the
mulch contains some manurial property,
all the better, but it should not be too
strong, as this would put too much
nitrogen in the soil and, while the

Slants would grow robustly, they would
rop many of their buds. This is espe-
cially true where plants are grown
thinly, for flowers of exhibition quality.

Primula Malacoides.

Primula malacoides is the most useful
of the whole family as a pot plant. It
is light, graceful and decorative. It is
a rapid grower and for that reason the
seed must be sown much later than in
the case of P. obconica, Sinensis, Kew-
ensis and other winter-blooming sorts.
About the end of June is sufficiently
early to sow this charming primrose.
It is now obtainable in several distinct
colors, of which the bright, clear pink
form is decidedly the best. One shown
at a number of exhibitions by F. H.
Lemon & Co., Bichmond, Ind., is partic-
ularly good.

Nephrolepis.

After Memorial day has passed, bench
space is more abundant. Probably a
space which had been occupied by
stocks, feverfew, spiraeas or even carna-
tions may be at disposal. In such a
case it pays to bench a good number of
nephrolepis from small pots, allowing
a foot each way between the plants.
These ferns do not need any special
compost; old carnation compost, with
the addition of some well-decayed ma-

nure, or even leaf -mold, will make an
excellent beneh medium. . Give the
glass some shade, but do not let it be
heavy. The ferns will be much stockier
when not heavily shaded.

Winter

fe^lrrhinums.

Seedlings *sBould be ready to prick
off now where you are planning to grow
winter snapdragons. There are tall,
intermediate and dwarf varieties. The
first named carry much the finest spikes,
but the intermediate forms are usually
grown commercially, as they can be
grown on side benches. The earlier in
August the benchiAjg can be done, the
better. Therefore, if you have forgot-
ten to sow seed, do so now. As between
seedlings and cuttings, I have. a decided
preference for the former, as they pos-
sess far greater vigor than cuttings and
are more disease-resistant. Fungoid
affections were particularly bad last
year, thanks to a cool, wet summer.
They are always worse on outdoor than
on indoor plants. For that reason, keep
all plants under glass protection. It is
sometimes asked how long these early

snapi^ragons will bloom. They 'Wi^ start
to bloom in October and, if given proper
treatment, will continue to bloom until
July, after which time it does not pay
to keep them under glass. Much finer
spikes at this season will be produced
under glass.

Palms.

With the rush of the bedding season
over, it would be well to devote at least
a few hours on a rainy day to such
palms as may be in stock. Many retail
florists grow a few kentias, arecas,
phoenix or latanias to rent for decora-
tive purposes, and in the course of a
winter they will get pretty well used
up. During the next three or four
months palms make their maximum
growth, and if they are at all starved
they should be repotted or at least top-
dressed. Any which may not require
repotting will be benefited by an occa-
sional application , of liquid manure.
Keep the plants freely syringed and
be sure the glass is well shaded. If
you have no suitable house which you
can give up to your 'palms, try the plan
of standing them outdoors below large
trees, on which the branches do hot
come down too near the ground. Partly
plunge the pots and be sure that the
location is convenient to a hose. Small
lots of other miscellaneous foliage
plants, such as aspidistras, ficus, arau-
carias, etc., will do well with the palms,
and they will put on a fine, dark green
color during the summer, far ahead of
the appearance they would present if in
a poorly shaded greenhouse.

ATTENTION, AD VEETISERS !

As a suggestion to advertisers, we
call their attention to the fact that
some advertisements are placed in The
Review too late to be of value on the
Pacific coast. Advertisers wait for
holiday numbers to make announce-
ments, and these numbers rea(ih us too
late for us to order. Especially is this
true of baske|;s, novelties, etc., which,
if advertised a month or six weeks be-
fore a holiday, would, we tUMk, pull
many orders from the west. Ifce coast
as well as the middle west is dependent
upon The Review in this line.

MOTHEBS' DAY PRICES.

We agree with Charles Helm in his
article in The Review for May 11, in
which he says that $7 per hundred for
carnations on Mothers' day, or any
other day, is an unreasonable price, and
we take exception to William Schaef-
er's article in the issue of May 18, in
which he says the public will be de-
lighted to pay the advanced price. If
this is his experience, the reverse is
ours.

Mr. Schaefer speaks about the better
class of buyers being protected. We do
not know what he means by a "better
class of buyers," as all our buyers look
alike to us, with the exception that
some kick harder and longer than others

at the advanced prices on these special
occasions. If they did not make an
audible protest, one could tell by the
look of disappointment on their faces
that the advanced prices did not make
a hit with them.

It is the retailer more than anyone
else who has created the demand for
flowers for Mothers' day, find it is the
retailer who is blamed for the advance
in prices and who hears all the com-
plaints. If the growers insist on kill-
ing the hen that lays the golden egg,
they have taken the proper course. I
have talked with several small growers
and retailers, and they are ready to dis-
continue making any special effort to
assist in the hold-up.

We agree with Mr. Schaefer that we
cannot be regulated by the Sherman
law, as people do not have to buy our
wares any more than they have to buy
airships or automobiles. Carnations at
$1.50 per dozen and roses at $2 and
$2.50 per dozen are as far out of some
people's reach as are airships and auto-
mobiles. Mr. Schaefer would have us
believe that his customers, if given the
opportunity to buy shoes on Friday for
$5 and on Saturday for $7.50, would
wait until Saturday, because they could
pay more. The more they have to pay,
the better they like it. Our customers
are made of different material. We
would like to hear from the trade in

feneral what we can expect in the
uture. H. F. Powell.

PlNCpiNa YOUNG MUM PLANTS.

I have some nice plants of .the
• Oaprice chrysanthemum, about four
inches high, which are ready for plant-
ing out in the field as soon as warm
weather arrives. Would you advise
pinching them in order to get good,
bushy plants, with even tops?

A. L. — Mo. >

Your plants should be pinched now
and will be better if an additional
pinching be made a little later to make
the plants bushy. C. W.

rOR OUTDOOR CULTURE.

I have the following varieties of
chrysanthemums in stock: Timothy
Eaton, Yellow Eaton, Maud Dean, Har-
vard, Sensation, Ramapo, Wm. Turner,
Enguehard, Bonnaffon, Robinson, Duko
of Aberdeen, and some white and yel-
low pompons. Are any of these hardy
enough to be sold to customers for out-
door planting! C. P. L. — 111.

The varieties mentioned, aside from
the pompons, are useless for outdoor
cultivation, since they are not hardy
and in any case are mostly late varie-
ties, which would not flower until after
the season has passed when they could
flower satisfactorily outdoors. The
white and yellow pompons, if they are
true pompons, will be all right. The
newer French types, such as A. Barham,
Carrie, Normandie and Etoile d'Or, are
the proper kinds to recommend to your
customer for outdoor blooming, as they
will flower early and, unless the place
they are growing in is low and wet^
they will come along year after year
with little protection. The single mums
are also well adapted for outdoor cul-
ture. Among the best of these would
be Louise, Mrs. Chas. C. Mickle, Mensa,
Golden Mensa, Irene, W. Buckingham
and Yvonne. Chas. H. Totty.

PINCHING CAPRICE MUMS.

I would appreciate some advice re-
garding the second pinching of Caprice
chrysanthemums. How many sets of
leaves would you allow a shoot to
makef Would it be advisable to allow
the side shoots to make more growth
than the center shoots, which are
stronger, or is it best to pinch all the
shoots at one time? What would be
the latest date to pinch the plants, so
as not to have them bloom any later
than mid-October? A. L. — Mo.

The idea of pinching chrysanthe-
mums is to induce them to become
bushy. After the shoots commence
growing, they can be pinched back at
each first pair of leaves. The center
shoots will naturally be stronger and
may be pinched more closely. If the
side shoots are not showing far enough
to produce well balanced plants after
they are pinched back to each leaf,
they may be permitted to run to two
or three leaves before pinching. They

may be pinched until the end of June,
after which time they should be al-
lowed to grow, if the shape of the
plant is right. The Caprice family is
much superior to any other type of pot
plants, because unless the plants are
large they will not need any staking
and the cost of looking after them is
therefore considerably lessened.

Chas. H. Totty.

MUMS FOR OUTDOOR GROWING.

Please name some of the best chrysan-
themums for outdoor growing and state
when they should be planted. My plan
is to plant them outside and later to put
sashes over them. When should the bud
be selected? H. Y. S.— 111.

The chrysanthemums that are in great-
est request in the east for outdoor grow-
ing are the type known as early-flower-
ing, most of which are of French origin.
The time to plant outdoors is right now
and many of the varieties I mention will
flower satisfactorily without any protec-

tion whatever, though naturally a sash
over them will help to keep the flowers
clean from dust and rain. In this case
the question of bud selection is not a
vital one; the beautiful, graceful sprays
of this type are ripally its principal
charm. In a selection to be used for cut
flowers, with disbudding chiefly in mind,
I would suggest the ::ollowing:

White, Cranford White, Debutante
and Petite Jean; yellow, Cranfordia,
Cranford Yellow and Etoile d'Or; pink.
Petite Louis, Hortense Malgat and Chas.
Jolly; crimson, Vesuve, Firelight and
L'Argentuillais; bronze, A. Barham,
Nellie Blake and Harvest Home.

Smajl plants set out early, and
pinched up to the middle of June, will
produce twelve to twenty stems to a
plant. These can be disbudded at the
will- of the grower. In discussing the
subject of early-flowering mums, a good
grower from the vicinity of Chicago
recently expressed a doubt as to these
varieties flowering satisfactorily in his
section without any protection'. I am
inclined to question his opinion, be-
cause, though the first flowers might
freeze in the cold snap in the latter
part of September, the following flow-
ers might come along perfectly, if the
buds were uninjured. In any case, if
H. Y. S. proposes, as he eays, to put
sashes on them, this phase of the ques-
tion need not bother him.

COMPOST FOR CARNATIONS.

Please advise me how to treat the
compost described below, which I in-
tend to use in benches for carnations
about July 15. Last fall I plowed a
plot of ground 18x30 feet, ten inches
deep. The soil is unusually light, being
a sandy clay. I manured the plot in
September and five weeks later plowed it
again, and then left it for the winter.
Early this spring I manured it lightly
and worked the fertilizer in. Two
weeks ago I put on three-quarters of a
barrel of hardwood ashes, unleached
and not of the best. Now, should I
add bone meal and lime at this time,
or should I apply lime a short time be-
fore the planting, about July 15? I
have plenty of sheep manure on hand.

The soil undoubtedly is poor, but it
is the only thing available here. I
used the same kind of soil last year,
but my carnation crop was light. Any
information will be appreciated.

W. A.— Wis.

I would advise you to procure two or
three wagon loads of half-rotted cow
manure and mix it with the soil. Inas-
much as your soil is already light, the
cattle manure will enrich it without
making it any lighter. As stable ma-
nure would lighten the soil, it is not de-
sirable in this case.

Cow or cattle manure is difficult to
obtain in many localities, and as a gen-

eral thing we do not consider it worth
the trouble. With our soil we find that
we can grow as good carnations by the
use of stable manure, supplemented by
sheep manure, dried blood and the va-
rious commercial fertilizers, as we can
by the use of cattle manure. That,
however, does not mean that it can be
done in all cases, and yours probably is
one of the exceptions. ' As stated above,
soil which is extremely light needs cow
manure. It would pay you to go to al-
most any trouble to' procure the cow
"lanure. A. F. J. B.

A CASE OF THRIPS.

I am sending under separate cover
some of my carnation buds. Nearly half
of the buds are like the ones I send you.
Will you please tell me the trouble with
them, and the remedy, for it is quite a
loss to me? S. E. I. N. Y.

Your carnations apparently are badly
infested with thrips. These suck the
sap from the petals while the flowers
are in the bud stage, causing the petals
to stick together. Ordinarily the
blooms will unfold and show numerous
blotches of dead tissue, which turns
brown in the light colored varieties
and white in the dark colored sorts.
In aggravated cases the petals will
stick so badly as to prevent their un-
folding and the buds will rot, as yours *
are doing. If they are syringed much it
will aggravate the rotting.

It is late in the s^son and it would

14

hardly pay to start a fight against the
■pest on the present crop of blooms.
By the time you get them under con-
trol, if you succeed at all, it will
be time to throw out the stock and re-
plant. Better throw the plants out
right away and get ready for an early
start with your next season's stock.
Clean out the plants and soil, taking
everything out of the house. Then
burn sulphur in the house, or fumigate

a couple of times with cyanide, before
bringing in the new stock. After the
new stock is benched, spray regularly
with one of the tobacco extracts,
whether you see any insects or not.
Bear in mind the old adage, "An ounce
of prevention is worth a pound of
cure." Success in the business of
growing plants and cut flowers depends
largely on prevention; prevention of dis-
ease and the ravages of insects.

TEN BEST BEDDINQ Q^BANIXTMS.

What are the ten best varieties of
geraniums for bedding! A. L. — Mo.

The best bedding geraniums in dou-
bles are: Alphonse Eicard, vermilion
scarlet; La Favorite, pure white; Jean
Viaud, mauve rose; Beaute Poitevine,
salmon; S. A. Nutt, deep red; Mar-
quise de Castellane, soft crimson; Miss
F. Perkins, rose-pink; Mrs. Lawrence,
salmon-pink. Splendid singles are:
Paul Crampel, dazzling scarlet; Snow-
drop, pure white; Jacquerie, crimson-
scarlet; Mrs. E. G. Hill, light salmon.

GERANIUMS BLOOM TOO SLOWLY.

Can you give me any information as
to what is the trouble with my gera-
niums? They bloomed nicely up to
about four days before Memorial day,
but since then they have been slow
in flowering. Each Saturday we sell
all geraniums that are in bloom, and
then it will be nearly a week before
the plants begin to show even signs of
color. As other florists seem to have
plenty of these plants in bloom about
this time, I do not understand what is
the matter with mine. I have grown
all of them in the same house and have
kept them at the average temperature
at which geraniums should be grown,
keeping them a little on the dry side.
They are all fine, stocky plants and
quite healthy. One cause of the trou-
ble may be that the plants were not
disbudded in the early spring.

S. A. C— Pa.

As your plants appear to be healthy
and the cultural treatment seems to
have been as near ideal as possible, I
think the most probable causes of your
plants not flowering better at this time
are that you allow them to flower too
much early in the season and that the
soil contains too much decayed manure.
A little well rotted manure, such as ob-
tained from a spent hotbed or mush-
room bed, is good to add to the soil, but
it should not be over one-fourth of the
whole.

I do not know whether you use fine
bone or not. It helps to build up a
firm, stocky growth that will flower
freely, whereas an excess of manure,
especially if it is not extra well rotted,
will make the plants produce a strong,
soft growth and flower sparsely. Firm

potting should also be done. If loosely
potted the plants will not flower nearly
so well. C. W.

GOOD DOUBLE GEBANIUMS.

Will you please give me a list of
about ten of the best varieties of dou-
ble geraniums, good strong growers and
bloomers f Jean Viaud suits me in its
color. What other varietiies in other
colors are as goodt C. C. — Okla.

Good varieties to grow in addition to
Jean Viaud are: S. A. Nutt, Beaute

F. C. Bauer's Products,

Poitevine, Alphonse Eicard, La Fa-
vorite, Jphn Doyle, Marquise de Castel-
lane, Mme. Barney, Mrs. Lawrence,
Marquise de Montmort and Berthe de
Presilly. C. W.

IMPERFECT GERANIUM BLOOMS.

Under separate cover I am sending
an imperfectly developed geranium
bloom. Many of my plants are af-
fected in the same way. Can you ac-

count for this trouble, and suggest a
remedy 1 ^^^ J. G. B.— Mass.

The most probable cause of imper-
fectly developed flowers is unsuitable
soil and a lack of nourishment at the
root. Grow your geraniums in good
loam containing a little well decayed
manure, preferably cow manure, and
fine bone. Geraniums in such a com-
post can hardly fail to grow well and
flower freely. Give them a nice, sunny
house. If greenhouse space is limited,
partly plunge them in a gentle hotbed
any time after May 1. In such a frame
they will not dry out as in the green-
houses and will make far better plants.
C. W.

GERANIUM FLANTS DISEASED.

Under " separate cover I am sending
you two diseased geranium plants. I
would like to know what is the matter
with them. Of 1,500 plants only twelve
or fifteen plants were in this condition.

F. E. F.- '^

The plants forwarded had stem-rot,
as well as bacteria on the foliage, but
they were not in the hopeless condition
that many geraniums are when we re-
ceive them. If you have no more than
one diseased plant in a hundred, you can
congratulate yourself, as few establish-
ments can show a better record. The
disease on your plants may be due to
an excess of moisture overhead and
at the roots, which is more likely to
be harmful if your plants are stand-
ing too close together on the benches.
Keep them separated and picked over
occasionally. Maintain a dry, buoyant
atmosphere, with some ventilation
night and day. Keep affected plants
isolated and drier at the roots. If con-
ditions show signs of getting worse,
spray with Fungine or Bordeaux
mixture. C. W.

BAUER'S "PINK BEAUTIES."

This is the age of nicknames. A
certain make of automobile is known as
tL "flivver;" a 5-cent piece now is a
"jitney" and a silver dollar an "iron
man;" pacifists are called "slackers"
by the war party and a fondness for
the movies is diagnosed as "Chaplin-
itis." At the Baltimore fiower market
retailers stroll in and inquire if there
are any "Pink Beauties" to be had.
"Pink Beauties" is a nickname the
boys have invented for Eose Eadiance,
as grown by Fred C. Bauer out at Go-
vanstown, meaning that Mr. Bauer's
Eadiance roses have attributes in com-
mon with American Beauties. Mr.
Bauer knows every" whim of Eadiance
and produces blooms of a color, size
and length of stem hard to beat. When
they reach the market they sell them-
selves, as "Pink Beauties."

Mr. Bauer has a house of this variety
and grows it at a temperature lower
than the regular rose temperature. The
illustration on this page shows a few of
his Eadiance in the arms of his son,
William, another Bauer product. In
the absence of a yardstick, William was
put in the picture to give the reader
an idea of the length of stems of the
roses, although the young ladies of the
neighborhood consider William himself
not at all hard to look at.

the first year and $250 the second year -would
be for traveling and other special expenses.

If the American Rose Society desires to avail
itself of this opportunity, I must know of it
before .Tune .SO, 1916, in order to properly ar-
range with Mr. Massey.

It is the belief of the executive com-
mittee of the American Eose Society
that the opportunity thus presented is
one which rose growers generally will
be willing to support by the special
contribution necessary, information as
to which must reach the president,
as noted, before June 30. Let us act
together to help to put rose growing in
as safe a condition as is carnation grow-
ing or apple growing.

S. S. Pennock, Pres.

AMERICAN ROSE SOCIETY.

Plaji to Study Rose Diseases.

When the editor of the 1916 Eose
Annual of the American Eose Society
was assembling the material for that
notable volume, he discovered that in
America there had never been any or-
derly study of the diseases of roses. It
was found that even the new Bailey's
Standard Cyclopedia, in its second vol-
ume (1914), listed but one other rose
disease than mildew, and that the other
books and rose catalogues either skipped
the subject or glossed over it.

Knowing how s*erious to rose growers
was at least one of these diseases, the
all-too-familiar black spot, the editor
canvassed the various colleges and ex-
periment stations and the Department
of Agriculture at Washington, only to
learn that the rose had never had the
attention that had been given to car-
nations or cabbage or cutworms, to
apples or potatoes. Prof. H. H. Whet-
zel, the noted plant pathologist of Cor-
nell University, wrote that none of his
brethren had ever studied the diseases
of what he termed "man's oldest and
most widely cherished ornamental,"
and that, therefore, no means of con-
trol of some of these destructive rose
diseases had been worked out.

Cornell Wants to Help.

The American Eose Society believes
that this condition is a disgrace. It
has therefore undertaken to organize a
careful inquiry into rose diseases,
which, if supported by those interested,
ought to result in the proposal of meth-
ods for the prevention and control of
rose diseases as efficacious as those that,
through similar study, have given fruit
growers courage to proceed profitably in
defiance of brown rot and similar dis-
eases.

Much correspondence, following au-
thorization at the recent Washington
meeting of the society, has developed
an exceptional opportunity to have the
proper study begun and carried through
at a small part of the expense, Cornell
University sustaining most of the cost.

A 'Tlorlsts' Disease Investigator."

Professor Whetzel states the situation

thus:

What is needed first Is a rather careful study
of the rose disease situation as represented in
the gardens and houses of the members of the
American Rose Society — a survey, In order that
we may determine just what the chief diseases
of the rose are. • • • We propose that Mr.
Massey, who has worked on florists' crops and
who is, in my opinion, the man for this job.

should be- employed by the American Rose
Society under my direction, to spend three
months of each year for two years in rose
disease survey and investigation work, traveling
as may be required; and that during the re-
maining nine months of each year his special
line of investigation with us would be of the
diseases of roses. That Is, If the American Rose
Society can support him while in the field, one-
fourth of the tftne. The Cornell department of
plant pathology will have him make rose disease
Investigations the chief line of his work, as a
florists" disease investigator for the remainder
of two years.

We would provide such ordinary laboratory
apparatus as he may need and also give him pro-
fessional aid and counsel, together with our
hearty interest in the Rose Society's activities.

This would give the American Rose Society .
the services of a thoroughly trained investi-
gator of florists' crop diseases, at a cost small
in comparison with that required to finance the
work indei)endently.

The cost would not exceed $1,000 each year
upon a 2-year arrangement, of which sum $S00

Detroit, Mich. — John Breitmeyer's
Sons, one of Detroit's oldest and most
modern establishments, have incorpo-
rated at $50,000. Philip Breitmeyer,
H. G. Breitmeyer and Frank Danzer are
given as the officers.

Batavla, N. Y. — Eecently Thomas H.
McGuire, the New York Central rail-
road florist, with a special train and a
large force of men, set out plants at
stations along the Canandaigua branch.
Later foliage and flowering plants were
set at East Buffalo, North Buffalo and
Tonawanda. The railroad greenhouses
at Batavia pi^odiuced almost 100,000
plants this year for planting along the
right of way. Tentative plans have
been made calling for large additions
to the Batavia range, the only one of
the Central system east of Bufffllo.

.Mews' from

roQ

Liverpool, England. — As a result of
trade conditions in Great Britain, some
of the leading nurserymen are seeking
export trade. Merryweather, of South-
well, and Bees, of Liverpool, already
have established resident representa-
tives in Canada.

Haarlem, Holland. — A first-class cer-
tificate recently was awarded C. G.
Van Tubergen, Jr., for, Freesia Tuber-
geni Apotheose, white and lilac, raised
from seed, said to be extremely florifer-
ous, exhibited before the committee of
the General Bulb Growers' Society.

Woking, England. — While war pro-
duces conditions sometimes wholly un-
expected, American rose growers who
prefer English Manetti stocks need
have little fear of a shortage. While
it is true the scarcity of labor has in
a measure reduced the quantity grown,
the home demand also has fallen off in
at least an equal proportion, so that
there should be the usual quantities
for export.

Wandsbek, Germany. — Many Amer-
ican forcers of lily of the valley will
loam with regret of the death of Emil
Neubert, whose name is connected with
the valley pip trade of Hamburg. De-
ceased, who was 85 years of age, had
been in his early years a member of the
staff of Dippe Bros., the Quedlinburg
seedsmen. About sixty years ago he
removed to the Hamburg district and
established the nursery at Wandsbek.

Sassenheim, Holland. — Perh?'is it is
not the jarring of the heave i . that is
going on nearby, but this '. been a
season of continuous and f< avy rains
over the bulb district, as Hie quality
of the crop harvested u .d.vtbtedly will
show. First quality bulbs are not pos-
sible where the fields got an almost
daily drenching.

London, England.— The largest meet-
ing of the horticultural trades ever re-
corded was held May 24 for the pur-
pose of considering the state and fu-
ture of the busines.". Three special
subjects were up: Tin; prohibition of
imports, restrictions on imports after
the war, and the fixing of minimum
prices both during and after the war.
Before adjournment a committee was
appointed to obtain authoritative infor-
mation as to the durability of the re-
cent prohibitions and to urge that they
be extended to include cut flowers; also
to urge the government to take steps
to prevent the dumping of foreign stock
on English markets after the war. In
the matter of fixing minimum prices no
action was taken beyond authorizing
the committee to proceed with the de-
velopment of its plan for county com-
mittees, to report at another meeting.
It was felt that some degree of unanim-
ity of action must be assured to make
the method successful, else those who
adhered to the minimum prices would
be holding the bag for those who re-
fused to be bound by them.

Washington during the last two weeks
has seen all kinds of V||pather apd only
now is beginning to feel the presence
of summer. Reports are coming in
covering the damage done by the several
hail storms and the heavy rains. The
hail storm of June 10 was- severest at
the United States propagating gardens,
where something like 3,000 panes of
glass were broken. The greenhouses at
the Arlington farms also were badly
damaged and the commercial growers of
Anacostia and Alexandria met with loss.

The cool weather has been good for
business and the retailers and wholealal-
ers alike are well pleased with the re-
sults. While pri^jes have dropped con-
siderably, the returns are comparatively
food. Carnations are selling as low as
5 per thousand, while only selected
stock brings $1 and $2 per hundred.
Sweet peas nave been moving weU. Their
quality is| excellent and they have re-
tained their popularity. Gattleyas have
been selling better. Some excellent
gigas have been coming from northern
points and these have maintained an
average price of $6 per dozen.

Pennsylvania growers have been send-
ing in good peonies, which are bringing
about $4 per hundred, but it is late for
these and they will soon be off the mar-
ket. There are no local peonies to bo
had. There are good outdoor delphin-
iums to be had, but it is difficult to
find a buyer for them. Gladioli are sell-
ing well. Pansies and mignonette, still
to be had, are in little demand. Ram-
bler roses! are more plentiful and are in
fair demand. Valley is scarce; at least
there is not enough coming into the
market to cause waste. Gardenias are
plentiful.

Various Notes.

All talk now is of the outing of the
Florists' Club of Washington, D. C,
to be held at Great Falls, Va., Wednes-
day, July 19. Captain William H. Ern-
est is chairman of the committee having
the outing in charge. He reports that
there will be more events thigi year than
ever before and the program will be so
alluring that it will call out a larger at-
tendance than last year, when all rec-
ords were broken.

. President R. L. Jaf^kins has an-
nounced that, on accovAt of the next
regular meeting of th^ Florists ' Club
falling on July 4, tl^e meeting will be
postponed until the following Tuesday.

Mrs. Mary McCabe, who handles the
retail end of the business conducted by
her hysband and hej^lf, sailed June 13
for Miami, Fla., where she will spend
a month as the guest of Mrs. Marie Fry.
The latter, before her. marriage, was
Miss Marie Lott, whff*for some time
assisted Mrs. McCabe at the Center
market stand. Mrs. McCabe was ac-
companied by Mrs. Lott, mother of Mrs.
Fry.

The death of William F. Kasting has
brought forth many expressions of sin-
cere regret. Perhaps in no city other
than his own home town was Mr. Kast-
ing so well known as in Washington,
where, because of his political affilia-
tions, as well as his position in the flo-
rists' business, he was a familiar figure.
It was not more than three weeks ago
that he visited the stores of the Gude
Bros. Co., F. H. Kramer and others, and
was seen by The Revie^ correspondent.
His death was a great shock to all who
knew himi here.

Wilson, at the head of 60,000 citizens
of Washington, marched down Penn-
sylvania avenue from the Peace monu-
ment to the White House, in the most
notable of all the preparedness parades.
The florist who marched beside Presi-
dent Wilson was William F. Gude. It
was a great day all around for the flo-
rists and there were many complimen-
tary remarks made of their showing.
It was the first time in the history of
the country that a President of the
United States marched at the head of a
procession; it was the first time that
a florist had the opportunity to hobnob
with the leader of the country. Great
credit is due Mr. Gude for the wonder-
ful work he accomplished in getting the
people together for a representation
equal to twenty per cent of the entire
city population, and for the manner in
which the parade swung along on time,
passing the stand at the rate of nearly
15,000 an hour. Aside from heat pros-
trations, and despite the thousandsl that
lined the avenue, there was but one
accident. In appreciation of all of
this. President Wilson has sent to Mr.
Gude an autogi;aph letter in which he
compliments the latter on the splendid
work he did.

Washington florists are using safety
first methods with respect to trying to
effect deliveries in Virginia on Sunday.
The new Virginia ouster law, which
provides for the summary retirement of
any officer of the state government
who fails to enforce the law,, has
brought to life the ancient blue laws,
which have been allowed to slumber
on the statute books for years. This
makes illegal all unnecessary work and
allows for the placing under arrest of
chauffeurs and teamsters on duty Sun-
day. Test cases are to be made to see
whether or not telephone exchanges are
exempt from the provisions of the law.

nr^HE\]^w treasurer of the S. A. F., appointed by President MacRorie, after a
1 telegraphic poll of the directors, has a recognized talent for making a dol-
lar do the work of at least 106 cents. He was born in Germany in 1863 and spent
his minority in learning the trade there and in Switzerland. He came to America
in lS84 and found employment with C. Rieman, at Indianapolis. In 1886 he re-
moved to Omaha, and two years later started in business for himself with George
H. Swoboda as a partner. The firm is widely known in the west, having started
with nothing and built up a greenhouse establishment of over 100,000 feet of
glass, with valuable real estate holdings and a fine retail trade; each partner
also having acquired many outside holdings. Mr. Hess was appointed a director
of the S. A. F. in 1914, by President Wirth.

made for Houston on the Sunset Lim-
ited, leaving New Orleans at 11 a. m.,
which will fetch our party in at Hous-
ton at 10 p. m. the same night. This
will give a beautiful ride through the
Louisiana sugar and cotton belt, which
is an especially scenic route.

If the party desires to stop over at
New Orleans for a day or so, connec-
tions can be made with train No. 9,
leaving at 11:30 p. m., due in Houston
next morning at 11:30. Sleeper rates
between New Orleans and Houston are
$2. If the trip is made from New
Orleans by daylight the party can be
accommodated in a large, commodious
coach, unless parlor cars are preferred.

The steamship Momus will leave New
York August 9, arriving at New Orleans
Monday, August 14, in the morning; by
taking rail service there, the passen-
gers would arrive at Houston at 10
p. m. the same night. Any of our
members desiring to leave earlier may

take the S. S. Creole, leavinjr New York
August 5 and arriving at New Orleans
August 10. If arrangements for the
trip are made promptly, we will ar-
range so that the delegates and visitors
will have "the time of their lives."
Our southern brethren are making
every effort to have this convention
one of the most successful in the his-
tory of the society, not only from a
business standpoint, but also from the
great amount of pleasure and valuable
information derived from our visit to
the south.

Some of the leading firms of the
country, alert to the opportunity of the
southern market, have made early book-
ings for large blocks of space in the
trade exhibit. Among these we find
the Lord & Burnham Co., John A.
Evans Co., M. Eice Co., A. L. Randall
Co., Burlington Willow Ware Works,
J. A. Peterson & Sons and H. C.

The Market.

The conditions of the last two weeks
have been little different from those
of the rest of the spring, for truly we
h|ave not had summer weather at all,
ait least not for more than a day or two
alt a time. School commencements are
about oV6r, but business continues up
to the high mark set during the earlier
part of the year. It has probably been
the best six months of business that
we have ever had in this city, taking
it by and large. No one has had much
stock of any kind go to the dump.

Carnations are holding out well this
spring. They will be thrown out of
the benches during this week and next,
to make room for next fall 's crop. They
are still of good quality. Koses are
none too plentiful, but their quality is
good. Eussell has been especially fine
this summer. This rose is growing more
popular here every day and there will
be fewer Beauties grown in this city
next season than ever before. Most of
the mums are being benched now and
everyone finds he has plenty to do, with
labor more scarce than it has been in

the past. There will be few carnations
left in the field within a fortnight; in
fact, most of them are already in the
benches. Growers here plant many of
their carnations directly in the benches,
but they say some varieties must be set
in the field for a short time in order to
acquire vigor.

Sweet peas have been plentiful of
late, amateur growers employing boys
and women to peddle them on the
streets, but the quality has been far
from the best this year. Asters bid
fair to be a success in the field again
this season because of the cool spring.

Various Notes.

The Joy Floral Co. has had its houses
thoroughly renovated. The roses have
been cut back for their summer's rest.
The men are finishing benching the
carnetions at present. The store re-
ports no let-up in the demand for cut
flowers and a good sale of hanging
baskets. 1

Haury & Sons have a good display of
gladioli in their windows at present.

Gteny Bros, have been having unusu-
ally attractive windows of late. Oscar
Gheay has been confined to his home on
account of his health.

J. F. Corbett has a batch of roses
in the field that are furnishing more
good blooms than the same number of
roses usually do in the house in the
summer time. Why are there so few
who grow roses in this way?

Mclntyre Bros, have been having a
nice run of wedding work of late. I
saw some Chinese wool flowers at their
place a week ago. This plant looks as
though it might prove a valuable pot
plant, especially if it can be had in as
good shape at Christmas as it is at
present. F. B.

The vegetable growers at Ashtabula,
O., are passing through a successful
season. The lettuce crop finished in
April brought good prices. Now the
first crop of cucumbers is being mar-
keted, with good returns. These, with
tomatoes, constitute the trio of vegeta-
bles grown in this locality, under glass.
The leading growers are Gallup Bros.,
Dunbar & Hopkins, whose range of
modern houses makes an imposing sight
from the railroad; the Griswold Green-
house Co., E. A. Adams & Sons, who
have a compact and most conveniently
arranged plant; C. C. Phelps & Son,
last, but not least in size. All bespeak
prosperity.

The Adams boys imparted some in-
teresting information regarding the
variations of cucumbers. The most
popular variety grown is named Hop-
kins' Choice, a dark green, solid fruit;
a prolific bearer and preferred by the
market vaen chiefly for its evenness of
growth, especially during the early
crops. Arlington White Spine is con-
sidered by the growers a superior sort,
as it produces more seed and is, conse-
quently, more tender, but not so profit-
able to market. Gas has practically
been abolished now that a spraying
substitute has been discovered, and the
vines bear witness to the improved

method. "The labor problem is caus-
ing us considerable anxiety and mak-
ing us adopt all sorts of schemes to
combat the shortage," said Messrs.
Adams.

A. H. Davis, of Syracuse, N. Y., has
plans for an oflSce and salesroom, 24x24
feet, to be built into the greenhouse at
the northwest corner of the property.
It will add much to the appearance of
the establishment, as the addition is to
be ornamental as iirell as useful.

The Hike & Allen Co., of Cortland,
N. Y., reports a busy season. "Recent-
ly Mr. Hike withdrew his interest in
the business. That gives me double
work," remarked Mr. Allen, "but it is
good for the system, and the increase
of business is encouraging."

Adolph Frost, of Cortland, is of the
opinion that working hours at present
are from dawn to dewy eve. Much
work is to be completed that remains
over from Decoration day. There were
many in the same boat with Mr. Frost.

Passing the noted Randall homestead,
at Cortland, I noted the beautiful effect
of three trees planted close to each
other. One was Paul's double scarlet
thorn, in full bloom ; the second a golden
cut-leaved pak and the third a copper
beech, each about thirty feet tall and
of perfect proportions. W. M.

WUliam F. Kastlng.

William F. Kasting, president of the
W. F. Kasting Co., of Buffalo, treas-
urer of the Society of American Flo-
rists and of the National Flower Show
committee, active worker in all that has
tended toward the advancement of
trade interests and probably as widely
known and as well liked as any florist
in the United States, was found dead
in his room at the Maryland hotel, St.
Louis, on the morning of June 15. Mr.
Kasting, who was postmaster and a
leader in politics in Buffalo, was a* dele-
gate to the Democratic national con-
vention, holding the proxy of Mayor
Fuhrman, of Buffalo. Death was due
to heart failure.

It was at the town of Sachsenhausen,
in the principality of Waldeck, Ger-
many, that William F. Kasting came
into mortal existence, July 27, 1870. He
was the son of John and Maria (Gross)
Kasting. At the usual age he became a
pupil in the public scRools of Sachsen-
hausen and attended his studies regu-
larly until his fifteenth year, when he
decided to try his fortunes in America,
where a sister had preceded him, to
Buffalo, where William found tempo-
rary occupation and went to night
school to acquire the rudiments of the
new tongue. Shortly afterwards he
commenced his apprenticeship in the
florists' business, on the estate of
George H. Lewis, who was proprietor
of the Niagara hotel and the conserva-
tory connected therewith. After two
years of service with his first employer,
the young Kasting put in eight years
of work in greenhouses at Cleveland,
Erie, Pa., St. Louis and Steubenville,
O. Upon his return to Buffalo in 1892,
he entered the employ of Daniel B.
Long, at that time a well known Buf-
falo wholesaler, who was prominently
identified with the S. A. F. of that
period, in whose service Mr. Kasting
put a finishing touch to his mastery
of all departments of the florists' in-
dustry. Two years later he succeeded
Mr. Long in the business, which even-
tually became the foundation of the
William F. Kasting Co. Along about
this time, in 1894, Mr. Kasting entered
Bryant & Stratton's business college, of
Buffalo, and graduated with honors in
1895.

Mr. Kasting became interested in
pelitics early in life. He was an un-
swerving Democrat, always loyal and
striving his best for the interests of his
party. He was a delegate to the Demo-
cratic national convention in 1896 and
in 1900. In the latter year he was ap-
pointed park commissioner by Mayor
Diehl, in which oflBce he served the. city
well for almost a decade, twice being
president of the board. Subsequently
he ran for the oflBces of councilman and
county treasurer, and, although he was
defeated in his contests with the other
party, he was a strong and dangerous
candidate, running far ahead of his
ticket.

In May, 1901, Mr. Kasting married
Laura La Tour, who died four years
ago, three children surviving, William,
now aged 14; Laura L. and John R.
Mr. Kasting 's sister, Mrs. Mary Bixon,
also survives.
The deceased was eminently success-

ful in his wholesale business, which he
operated individually from 1895 until
about five years ago, when it was in-
corporated under the name of Wm. F,
Kasting Co. W. N. Eiss, secretary, and
E. C. Brucker, treasurer, were Mr.
Kasting 's associates in the corporation,
which has its headquarters at 383 to 387
Ellicott street. In December, 1914, Mr.
Kasting purchased the Newmann green-
houses, at Akron, N. Y., and he also
had interests in several other trade es-
tablishments, including the Erie Floral
Co., of Erie, Pa. He also had many
other business interests, being president .
of two local insurance companies when
he died. It is said his estate will in-
clude $70,000 of life insurance, $20,000
of which was taken out only a few
weeks "ago.

The pinnacle of Mr. Kasting 's career
was reached in January, 1914, when he
was appointed postmaster of Buffalo by
President Wilson, at a salary of $6,00b
per year, undoubtedly as a reward for
his share of the work in bringing the
Democracy to victory at the polls in
the last presidential election. When he
took oflSce he was given an ovation by
his numerous friends.

Mr. Kasting 's tenure of office as post-
master, of which he was the incumbent
at the time of his death, was marked
by the reorganization of the postoffice
department of Buffalo. The position of
assistant postmaster was abolished and
the local department was shaped into
two divisions, namely, the division of
finance and the division of mails.
Under Mr. Kasting 's supervision, the
postoffice at Buffalo boasted of greatly
increased business. The postal receipts,
money order business, postal savings
and other branches showed great gains.
Several branch postoffices and numer-
ous substations were established as a
direct result of the economy of the new
system, supplying a much-felt want in
various sections of the city.

Fraternally Mr. Kasting was promi-
nent. In number of years as an offi-
cer of the Society of American Florists
he has served longer than any other
present office-holder. He was elected
president of the national body at its
twenty-first annual meeting, at Wash-
ington, D. C, August 15 to 18, 1905.
In 1910 he was .appointed treasurer of
the S. A. F. to succeed H. B. Beatty
and at each succeeding convention he
was reelected treasurer. He was a
member of nearly all the special flower
societies and active in their councils.
He was president of the New York
State Federation of Floral Clubs, had
served as president of the Buffalo Flo-
rists' Club and was a member of many
local florists' clubs in other cities, in-
cluding New York, Chicago and San
Francisco. He was a member of all the
Masonic bodies, Odd Fellows, Elks,
Maccabees, Red Men and Heptasophs.
While postmaster he became a member
of the Rotary Club, and he was one of
the best known and best liked members
of that large organization. He had
been president of the Orpheus and be-
longed to other German singing so-
cieties.

The funeral was held from the fam-
ily home, 700 Ellicott street, Sunday
afternoon, June 18, with interment at
Forest Lawn cemetery, and was one of
the most remarkable demonstrations of
friendship and respect ever seen " in
Buffalo. The attendance so far ex-
ceeded the capacity of the home that
a large tent was erected on the lawn

for the reception of notables and friends
from out of town. It was estimated
that 2,000 persons were grouped about
the house during the brief service there
and that 3,000 were at Forest Lawn
when the funeral cortege arrived. In
both instances automobiles were parked
for blocks around.

The services were Masonic. The pall-
bearers were seven Masonic florists:
S. A. Anderson, W. J. Palmer, Felix
Alberts, Joseph Sangster, Charles
Schoenhut and J. B. Wiese, of Buffalo,
and Charles T. Guenther, of Hamburg.
The Florists' Club attended in a body,
as did each of the other organizations
of which he was a member. There were
300 mail carriers in uniform and 200
non-uniformed postoffice employees.
The mayor and leading men of the city
and state acted as honorary pallbearers
and to this list was added the name of
each out-of-town florist who made his
presence known. Among them were:

AsmuB, Georire, Chicago.
Barker, M., Chicago.

Five auto trucks were required to
carry the flowers from house to ceme-
tery, there being over 200 prieces, from
trade societies, lodges, business houses
and individuals. The florists of Buf-

falo, instead of sending flowers indi-
vidually, got together and sent per-
haps the handsomest blanket ever made.
There were wreaths from the S. A. F.,
the State Federation of Floral Clubs,
and from the florists' clubs of New
York, Pittsburgh, Toronto, Washington,
Denver, Minneapolis, Chicago, St. Louis,
San Francisco and other cities.

Rarely has a florist had so many
friends as had this one and rarely has
a man, from so humble a beginning,
risen so far in the respect of his busi-
ness associates and in the esteem of
his neighbors.

Julian T. Duquette.

Julian T. Duquette, of Albion, N. Y.,
died June 18, while eating supper.

Mr. Duquette had been in failing
health for some time and was sitting
up in bed while his nurse was feeding
him. He declared to the nurse that
he was suddenly stricken blind, then as
he completed his meal fell over dead.

Mr. Duquette was born at Clarkson,
N. Y., and was 72 years old. When a
young man Mr. Duquette went to Lock-
port, where he resided until about
twenty years ago, when he moved to
Albion to take up the florists' busi-
ness of his father at the latter 's death.
He was recognized throughout the state
as an expert and for several years was
superintendent of flowers at the Syra-
cuse state fair.

Mr. Duquette was a veteran of the
Civil war. He was a member of Curtis-
Bates post, G. A. R.. No. 114, and the
Masonic and Odd Fellow fraternities.
He was a Presbyterian. He leaves his
wife, Mrs. Margaret Duquette.

Besults bring advertising.
The Eeview brings resulte.

The two carnations that gained most in
reputation last season were Matchless and
Alice.

Fragile as is the petunia, it is proving
extremely popular for window box pur-
poses.

Fortunate is the florist who still has
command of an adequate supply of cow
manure. Several large growers have gone
into the dairying business for the pur-
pose of making for themselves a portion
of their fertilizer necessities.

The Want ads in The Eeview are an
excellent index to the state of the trade.
Note how the For Sale ads have decreased
in number in the last year or so. Evi-
dently business is much better than it was.
The turn of the seasons can be noted in
the Help Wanted and Situations Wanted
columns; the former is shrinking, the lat-
ter increasing.

Mrs. Eussell most certainly is not a
rose for everybody to grow and least of
all is it a rose for everybody to graft.
Large propagators have again this season
failed to fill orders in full because of the
percentage of grafts that failed to take,
the loss in some cases being as much as
one-third. Is it any wonder good plants
of Eussell command a good price?

There is a noticeable uplift in progress
in the trade. To begin with, the water
wagon is becoming a popular conveyance,
and, as the sons of the pioneers take
hold, they are bringing to bear such qual-
ities as come with higher education, for
nearly every florist sees to it that his
children get a more thorough schooling
than was thought necessary in the olden
times.

DON'T.

Don't spell it "Lillies" on the bill;
one "1" meets the custom in our best
families.

Don't speak of the "dirt" in the
pots; there may be some on the outside,
but the contents is soil.

Don't send your customers bills for
"boquets;" some of them may think
there also were omissions from the
bunches.

Don't forget that in a business that
depends largely on service the small de-
tails of speech and orthography are
important.

THE 0OI.DEN BUItE.

Every advertiser should practice the
golden rule — indeed, dealing with a per-
ishable article, not readily returnable
in case the customer is not fully satis-
fied, it is especially important that
each seller do as he would be done by.

There probably is no line of business
in which disagreements are so difficult
of adjustment as is the case with
plants and flowers — the non-standard-
ized, perishable, unreturnable character
of the merchandise makes it so. No
man who cherishes his good name, who
hopes' to receive repeat orders, who
hopes to profit by the valuable free ad-
vertising that passes from mouth to
mouth through the trade, or who cher-
ishes the good name of florists, as a
class, will ever send out any other stock
than he would be satisfied to receive
were he in the buyer's position.

The man who invariably applies the
golden rule will never want for cus-
tomers.

THE MODEBN METHOD.

The modern method of doing business
is the exact opposite of the method
employed in this trade by an increasing
number of sellers. The theory that
prompts getting the order away from
the other fellow, even if there is no
profit in it, long since has been aban-
doned in other lines of business. The
later and better idea is to get together
and charge the dear public what the
traffic will bear.

The florists' business has been one
of excellent profits for a few men spe-
cially endowed with faculties for han-
dling large affairs, and for conserving
their money, but the average florist
never has made profits in proportion to
the time, labor^ skill and risk involved.
The reason usually has been that he
and his neighbors were trying to see
which one could sell the cheapest.

COMMODITY PEICES.

Within the last year commodity prices
in America have been the highest in
history. The pinch has been felt by
nearly all florists, who found practi-
cally everything needed for the business
costing more than it ever had before,
with the closeness of competition pre-
venting a corresponding rise in the
florist 's own selling prices. It has been
a year of good business for florists,
without a correspondingly good profit.

But commodity prices appear to have
made a turn. In almost every line of
business demand has visibly slackened.
While markets were rising so rapidly
everyone was buying to cover future
requirements, so that of late the de-
mand has fallen off. Also, many arti-
cles have reached a price sufficiently
high to curtail consumption. Brad-

street's Index, which is recognized as
the authority on such matters, shows
that the high point was April 1, 1916,
since which date there has been a slight
but steady recession, prices for June 1
being slightly lower than for May 1,
and May lower than for April.

The outlook is not for a rapid decline.
Conditions are such that high prices are
almost sure to rule for a number of
years, with the probability ^itiat never
within the lifetime of th
the business will prices on m;
get back to the level thai
before the war.

CLEABINO THE SU^WITS.

Plant sales are unusually ij&tive for
the closing weeks of June, due to the
lateness of the season, but it is not to
be expected that the demand will con-
tinue indefinitely.

In many places stock has been cleaned

up before the demand has been satisfied

and there still exists a ready outlet

for surpluses from other localities. The

time to clean up is now. Lake this:

POT MAKERS ORGANIZE

Another of our allied industries
buried the hatchet last week, on the
beach at Atlantic City. June 17 there
was a meeting of manufacturers said
to represent ninety per cent of the pot
output of the United States, at which
the Pot Makers' Credit Association was
organized. The prime movers seek to
make it clearly understood that they
have in mind no purpose other than to
reduce the cost of pots by the elimina-
tion of losses and the expenses inci-
dental to slow collections.

CHICAGO.

The Market.

The Chicago market during the last
week has been decidedly spotted. Short
periods of activity have been inter-
spersed with periods of sluggishness.
Shipping trade has been quite good.
Local trade, on the contrary, though
especially good the end of the week, is
on the whole distinctly quiet.

Beauties have been selling fairly
well, but at low 4)rices. Though the
average quality is better than last week,
there is far too much inferior stock.
The supply has been materially reduced
by planting, and few young Beauties
are seen on the market as yet. Good
roses of the other varieties are clearing
nicely, but there is a large volume of
poor stock that can find its way out of
the market only through department
store channels. Eussell, as usual, leads.
Sunburst and Ophelia find a good de-
mand, while the reds of really first-class
quality move easily. Good carnations
sell fairly well, but the supply of good
stock is so large that soft flowers meet
with poor sale.

There is such a quantity of open peo-
nies on the market that it has a tend-
ency to lower prices on other stock.
Good peonies, however, may be had in
almost any quantity. Valley is still
short, though not so much so as it was

The Best of Summer
Roses Here for You

|E did a big business in Roses last summer because
our customers found their customers would
buy good Roses whenever they saw them— it
paid the retailers to carry all varieties in stock.
So we arranged with our growers for a still larger supply
for this summer — roses grown specially for your summer
trade— Russell in quantity. Milady, Sunburst, Ophelia,
Ward, Brilliant.

A Pleasing Novelty

Did you ever see Bachelor's Buttons in any other color than
blue? Well, we offer a good supply in two shades of pink, and
moderate quantities of other colors. They are fine; 50c to $1.50
per 100.

CARNATIONS

Commoo, $10.00; fancy, $15.00; aztra fancy, $20.00 per 1000

The quality of this crop of Carnations is unusually good for
this time of year — weather conditions have been favorable. Our
supply now is so heavy we can quote the lowest prices of the sea-
son— low prices when you consider the high quality of the stock.

PEONIES

We still are able to supply fine Peonies in all colors — stock
that is grown and handled by men who know how. It will reach
you in good shape.

SPENCER SWEET PEAS

The cool weather has been greatly in favor of the Sweet Peas— the
stock is the best we ever have handled so late in the season.

VALLEY FOR THE WEDDINGS

No disappointment if you order here— we ALWAYS can supply if
we have your order a few hours before train time.

last week. Orchids continue extremely
Bcarce. No difficulty is experienced in
moving Easter lilies. Sweet peas are
in limited supply and sell well. Daisies,
though nearing their end, continue to
experience a degree of popularity. Gla-
dioli would probably sell well but for
the fact that they are coming into the
market in poor condition because of
heavy rains. Pansies are about out of
the running.

Greens are again in ample supply, a
large quantity of new ferns having
reached the market this week.

Tbe Express Strike.

The strike of express drivers grad-
ually is wearing itself out. Many of
the men have returned to work and a
partial service has been given in the
market for several days. The Whole-
sale Florists' Cartage Service, man-
aged by Fred Lautenschlager, still was
operating June 21, but expected to be
able to discontinue within a day or
two, things being that near normal.

Later: The drivers declared their
strike off at noon June 21.

Tbe Peony Season.

Except for a few late varieties the
local peony crop was nearly all cut last
week. The growers had their troubles,
as usual. While favored by cool weath-
er, the frequent heavy rains made the
work difficult and in some cases de-
stroyed hundreds of dollars' worth of
flowers that were too far along to stand
such peltings. This, combined with a
June market rather better than any
previous year, has resulted in the quan-
tity put in cold storage being consid-
erably less than last year. But there
are peonies enough on hand, coupled
with late receipts from the north, so
that it will be impossible for the mar-
ket to be cleaned by July 4, as it usually
is. In recent years Klehm's Nursery
has been the only holder to carry peo-
nies into July, but this year quite a
number of wholesalers expect to have

Reichling's Big Task.

A half day's work June 19 finished
the replanting operations at Peter Eein-
berg's principal place, a task begun in
March. There are 102 houses in this
establishment and Superintendent Emil
Reichling has replanted forty-two of
them with young roses, besides replant-
ing a number of houses and filling with
chrysanthemums the space later to be
used for propagating. At the carnation
range farther in the country half the
houses have been replanted. It is earlier
than the work ever before has been

done and it has been accomplished with
surprisingly little help, for the payroll
last week carried only eighty-eight
names, which included the chauffeurs
and several others not employed direct-
ly in greenhouse work.

The Beauties have been cut down
sharply; only seven houses remain. Tbe
principal iftcrease has been in Bussell,
ten additional houses containing 38,000
plants; the total planting of Bussell,
seventeen houses, now runs to 65,000
plants. The planting of Sunburst has
been increased from three houses to six
and one-half, 6r by 27,000 plants; ah
entire range is given to yellow roses.
Other increases are three houses of

How well the plants have taken hold

Peterson's Peonies.

The peak of the peony season at
Peterson Nursery was passed last week,
when there was a steady stream of vis-
itors from dawn to dusk. The greater
part of the several large fields was cut
over steadily, about 10,000 flowers per
day being sent to the A. L. Eandall Co.,
but the first ten plants at the driveway
end of each row were left untouched
for the benefit of visitors. Also along
one of the drives there is a 4-year-old
plantation that includes every variety
on the place, grouped by colors and
in the order of blooming, each variety
labeled, that gives a splendid opportu-
nity for comparison. Another sample

collection has been planted, three plants
of each variety in line behind an easily
read label. Next year visitors will find
the first plant disbudded, the second
grown naturally, the third with the
crown bud taken out to prolong the
season.

The trade visitor noted, perhaps first
of all, the large stock of such high
priced varieties as Karl Rosenfield,
only on the market eight years, and M.
Martin Cahuzac, the darkest of the
reds, although for display nothing sur-
passed the showing made by Felix
Crousse and Mr. Peterson said the lat-
ter is the ideal cut flower red from the
wholesaler's and retailer's view. Of
the rose-pinks Claire Dubois is extreme-
ly good for late work. The whites af-

ford an interesting study, but the aver-
age person comes back to Festiva max-
ima until its season is past.

The Peterson collection of irises has
been greatly enlarged in recent years
and a selection of the best would con-
tain many unfamiliar names. In the
lute varieties Monsignor, violet; Lore-
ley, yellow; Archeveque, reddish purple,
and Loute, bronze, are as handsome as
orchids. For some unknown reason flo-
rists have paid little attention to Ger-
man irises, although they are as easy
to grow as an onion.

Various Notes.

The news of the sudden death of W.
F. Kasting at St. Louis last week was
a shock to his friends in Chicago. Mr.

pasting had arranged to visit this city
on his way home from St. Louis to
Buffalo after the Democratic conven-
tion. He -was interested with A. F.
Poehlmann, N. J. Wietor, George As-
mus and others in the United Ferti-
lizer Co., originally organized here.
Among those who attended the funeral
Sunday in Buffalo were Arnold Ringier,
W. J. Keimel and George Asmus. The
Chicago Florists' Club, of which Mr.
Kasting was a member, sent a wreath.

The mobilizing of the National Guard
for service on the Mexican frontier
called out A. I. Simmons, who is a cap-
tain in the Seventh regiment; Edward
Martin, of A. Henderson & Co., and
Harry Gardener, of A. T. Pyfer & Co.,
who are members of the First regfiment.
The latter had just started on a vaca-
tion.

A most striking window illumination
has been seized upon by George Wien-
hoeber. In the center background, sus-
pended midway between the floor and
the ceiling, is an American flag made
of electric lights. With no other illu-
mination in use, this flag, framed in
greenery and set in darkness, creates a
most striking spectacle through the
night.

The corsage rose, George Elger, has
proved a profitable specialty with Wie-
tor Bros., who this season are adding
Hill's Baby Doll as a running mate.

Such a firm believer in the merits of
the Winton' Six is Adolph Poehlmann,
of the Poehlmann Bros. Co., Morton
Grove, that he ordered another last
week. The company has added a 1%-
ton truck to its delivery fleet.

That first-class roses will be unusu-
ally good property during July is the
opinion of John Michelsen, of the E. C.
Amling Co., who says he sees signs that
summer business will make another new
record this year.

Boland Poehlmann, son of August
Poehlmann, of the Poehlmann Bros. Co.,
graduated from the Western Military
Academy, Alton, 111., last week. Mrs.
Poehlmann, Miss Virginia Poehlmann
and Earl Poehlmann att«n^jd-the exer-
cises.

If a grower sees a streak of color
flashing down the road it will be W. P.
Kyle in his new Mercer, delivered last
week.

The best tonic in the wprld, accord-
ing to M. C. Gunterberg, is to spend the
.week end motoring in the country. As
she does this regularly, she should be a
competent authority.

Members of the trade may be sur-
prised to learn that Miss Wanda Lyons,
who opened an engagement in "A
World of Pleasure ' ' at the Palace Music
Hall, June 19, was working in a florist's
store in Salt Lake City just one year
ago, for $6 a week.

Joseph Ziska, Jr., and Mrs. Ziska
spent the week end motoring in the
Fox river district.

D. E. Freres and Jack Beyers en-
joyed a fishing trip last week. They did
not go far from the city, but report
unusually good luck.

Vacation time is with us. Tony Ada-
mitis, of Zech & Mann, starts his days
off June 24.

To facilitate the handling of florists'
shipments, George Heinlein has pur-
chased another auto truck.

These are certainly lively days for
Louis Heckner. He returned from
Council Bluffs, la., June 15 and left for
Madison, Wis., June 16. He is plan-
ning a visit to Bichmond, Ind., next

Visitors.

A visitor on the market this week
was John Stuppy, of the Stuppy Floral
Co., St. Joseph, Mo.

The market was visited this week by
A. T. Bushong, proprietor of the Gary
Floral Co., Gary, Ind.

Robert Blake, of the establishment
of Mrs. J. B. Freeman, Toledo, 0., was
a visitor on the market this week.

KANSAS CITY.

The IVIarket.

There is a change in the condition of
the market. The supply of cut flowers
is lighter and business is a little heavier
this week, especially in wedding deco-
rations. Roses of all kinds are less
plentiful; the higher grades are going
up in price, as the demand for them is

large. The lower grades are not so
scarce. The home-grown carnations are
still good. They have lasted longer this
spring than in previous years, due to
the cool weather. Peonies are practi-
cally out of the market. There are
large quantities of gladioli of fine qual-
ity, which are quickly sold. Gypsophila
now is plentiful and the demand for
this flower is heavier this spring than
ever before. Large spaces are devoted
to this flower and some of the growers
say that more will be grown next year.
Shasta daisies, coreopsis and other per-
ennials are in full bloom. A large
quantity of larkspurs is in the market
and these are among the best summer
flowers for all-around work. The per-
ennials this year are better than ever
before.

Various Notes.

Adolph Mohr is glazing two of his
new houses and will have them ready
to plant next week with mums, of which
he will have 5,000 plants. He has about
4,000 asters in the field. He expects

to have about 1,000 Lorraine and Cin-
cinnati begonias in 6-inch, 7-inch and
8-inch pots; 1,500 in 3-inch and 4- inch
pots, and 500 cyclamens. Mr. Mohr
reports business as being better than
in any previous year. He will give up
the old range, which he had under a
lease. He owns the new place.

T. J. Noll & Co. now are receiving
from Colorado some well grown carna-
tions of large size. They have no
trouble in disposing of them. They also
receive large quantities of gypsophilas
from Oklahoma. This concern will
handle all orders in this section of the
country for the Johnson Basket Co., of
Chicago.

A. F. Barbe is getting his houses in
shape. He sold his entire bedding stock
and has had an excellent spring busi-
ness. He has his chrysanthemums in
the benches and will plant carnations
this week. His carnations in the field
are looking fine.

W. J. Barnes was busy during the
week with funeral work and sold many

The Market.

So far this week has been a splendid
one for business, and from all indica-
tions every florist received his share of
wedding decorations and orders for
school commencements. The unusually
heavy demand for good peonies cleaned
up the season's supply with satisfac-
tory results. A renewed demand for
hardy blooming stock is gratifying.

Never before have we had such a
good "quality of flowers from under
glass. Eoses of exceptional quality,
such as Eussell, Ophelia, Mrs. Ward,
My Maryland and Richmond, are re-
ceived in quantities and bring good
prices. This may also be said of carna-
tions, and there are enough valley, or-
chids, Easter lilies and irises to meet
the demand. Beauties are fine and in

The Market.

Conditions in the cut flower market
have changed from those of a week ago.
The quantity of flowers has fallen off,
while business continues fair for so
late in the season. Really good flowers
find a market at times); mark that, at
times, as sometimes even good flowers
are hard to sell. Peonies have entirely
ceased coming in from local fields. This,
of course, relieves the market. Valley,
cattleyas and good roses are the best
stock. Peonies do not sell particularly
well; there are still too many of them.
They still form the mainstay of the
decorations. There are no other special
features of the market beyond the ex-
cellent shipping orders and the demand
for school commencements and wed-
dings.

hard work in earning success. This is
beyond contradiction, despite the great
importance of hard work. Take for
example the rose, as grown under glass.
Any rose grower will tell you that we
are nearing what may be best described
as the end of the Killarney period in
forcing varities. First we had the little
rose period, when Bon Silene, Safrano,
Perl and Niphetos flourished. Then
came the period of hybrids at Easter.
Then Catherine Mermet, Bridesmaid and
Bride had their day. Beauty came and
is still here. The greatest period of
all came with Killarney, within the last
decade. Nothing like it has ever been
seen in the expansion of rose growing.
The Killarneys have done well, more

or less, everywhere. They have given
roses, fine roses, at a time when roses
were scarce, and they have done it over
and over again. It is a yellow piece of
floral work, indeed, that cannot be done
with one of the Killarneys at a pinch.
Today there is strong evidence that
the Killarney period is nearing its end.
This does not mean that Killarneys "
will be thrown out and disappear from
our greenhouses and from our shops.
By no means; Killarneys will be grown
for a long time to come. But the day
of their leadership is over. A larger,
finer rose is taking the lead. A rose
which is not so free-flowering, perhaps,
but which is superior in many other

respects. The signs of this change are
numerous. Many of the growers found
their returns, the average receipts per
plant they call it, are a little smaller
each year than they were the year be-
fore. This is not true of a few excep-
tionally clever growers, but it is true
of the great majority of growers; so
true that they are dropping Killarney
more or less rapidly and will continue
to do so as they prove that other vari-
eties are more profitable though less
productive. Then, again, it is an inter-
esting fact that many of the leading
retail shops throughout the country wiU
not offer Killarney to their customers.
They can and do send out something

better, except in times of scarcity. They
know that Killarney can be had any-
where and is certain to be offered by
their competitors who like whatever is
most plentiful. So they seek some-
thing else. Again the argument of over-
production strikes the wholesale com-
mission houses in the great cities. It
is the Killarneys that wilt, that require
most effort to sell them.

These things clearly show the trend
of public taste. The judgment of nearly
all well informed florists is that the new
type of roses, with large flowers, fine
foliage, heavy stems, is gradually super-
seding the Killarneys. The new leader
will be a type, not a variety, for the
present, at least. No one variety as
grown today is good enough to outclass
the others and give its name to the new
rose period. It seems that this type
boasts, a larger proportion of hybrid
blood than our forcing roses of the past.
The effort to develop varieties of this
type, varieties that will command sup-
port sufficient to make them profitable,
is extremely interesting. It will re-
quire judgment of a high order in selec-
tion and hard work and skill in develop-
ing varieties of this new type.

Market conditions did not present a
bright appearance last week. Trade in
general is not good and orders usually
placed in June have not been forth-
coming. June did not open with the
usual briskness of wedding work, nor
does it appear to be improving any.
The unsettled season is much to blame
for these conditions. There are large
quantities of flowers in the market and
prices now are low. There are many
peonies on hand and they have to be
cleared at low figures. A large variety
of all grades of roses arrives daily.
The stock moves satisfactorily. Spanish

Valley is of extra quality and sells

The attractiveness of the store is en-

John Dunbar, assistant superintendent
of parks, met with an automobile acci-

his automobile broke. The car gained

The car was wrecked.

The Market.

Business last week was not encour-
aging to the wholesalers, and it was a
serious problem to secure anything like
real values. The street venders have
become a menace to the retail trade
and there is much dissatisfaction over
the city's failure to suppress them. Still,
what would the wholesale market be
without themf After a week of rain
they helped to clear at least some of
the surplus stock Saturday afternoon.
Good Saturdays are expected, even if
the first five days of the week are poor,
but last Saturday was an exception to
the rule. The storemen were all com-
plaining. This week there are many
weddings and school commencements.
The remainder of June should show an
improvement, especially as the rose
shipments are lighter and the peonies
are becoming less numerous.

Special American Beauties were not
selling above 20 cents last week, and
Hadley, Euler and Brunner roses were
shaded below the previous week's quo-
tations. The other roses arriving are
readily absorbed, except the short-
stemmed roses, which, in large pur-
chases, have sold as low as $10 per thou-
sand. The best price for the best car-

Any flowers or plants give a lot of pleasure if they're nice and fresh; and the way
to keep them fresh is to pack them in ,

Sefton Flower Boxes

The Ferres Type of Design Style Box is specially made for shipping live plants,
roots, bulbs or flowers packed in wet moss or ice. It's the perfect box for that
purpose.

Look for the Anchor Brand trade-mark;
and ask your paper jobber.

Mention The Review when you write.

Longiflorum lilies are selling at sum-
mer rates — fow above $3 per hundred.
Valley is the one strong underpinning
of the cut flower market. The select
sold at a high figure during the week
and June 17 $5 to $6 per hundred was
the general quotation. One company
claimed sales at $8, but this was ex-
ceptional. There is no rise in values
for orchids. The demand does not equal
the supply. The finest gigas sold at
$25 per hundred.

The market is fully supplied with
callas, daisies, stocks, gladioli, sweet
Williams, coreopsis, phloxes, snowballs
and laurel. There is an overflow of
rambler rose branches. The peony is
king and probably will exert its influ-
ence on the general market until July.
There are thousands in cold storage.
Let us hope they will come out well pre-
served and salable.

Various Notes.

This week will see the close of the
plant auction season, which has been

a remarkable success. The season's
sales of the MacNiflf Horticultural Co.
exceed those of any other year of the
company's successful career. John P.
Cleary has charge of the auction depart-
ment of C. C. Trfepel, on the roof of the
Bloomingdale store, at Fifty-ninth
street. At Elliott 's the season has been
satisfactory in all departments.

F. G. Van Mater, manager and see-
retary of the Greater New York Flo-
rists' Association, Brooklyn, says he is
much pleased with his new position and
the increase in the volume of ship-
ments since he assumed office.

Eobert Woodrow and family are at
Morristown, N. J.

The home of John Kervan, of the
Kervan Co., received a visit from the
stork June 2.

July 6 is the date of the Greek-Amer-
ican outing. The managers say that
arrangements have been made to ac-
commodate 1,000 picnickers. The prizes
in the athletic contests are more de-
sirable than those of former years.

TOLEDO, O.

The Market.

Cut flowers of all kinds are plentiful
and the demand is easily satisfied.
Roses are in good supply and their
quality is fine at present. Carnations
are plentiful, but first-class stock is
hard to procure, as the floweral are be-
coming more imperfect every day. Dai-
sies and gladioli are in fine cut and
the trade seems to admire these flowers,
as calls for them exceed all other sales,
excepting roses. Peonies still are to
be had, good stock, at that.

The weather in this vicinity is any-
thing but favorable to the florists. Ex-
ceptionally cool weather, with inces-
sant showers, seemed to take the buy-
ing spirit out of the trade. An unusual
call for weddings and graduations has
kept the florists busy and has helped to
keep June sales about equal to those of
the same mouth a year ago. Funeral
work also has been a great factor in
keeping refrigerators in first-class order
and in disposing of gluts of certain
flowers. Florists who have greenhouses
report an unusual sale of bedding plants
for this time of the year. This may
be attributed to the cool weather.

Varlc^us Notes.

Metz & Bateman, who have a store on
the ground floor of the Ohio building,
have leased a large portion of the base-
ment, which is being converted into a
first-class work and display room. Mr.

The Florists' Review

Jwira 22, 1916.

heavy expenses recently incurred by the
club, it was agreed to drcfp the picnic
for this year.

A committee was appointed to co-
operate with the city workers in the
planting of shrubbery in the parks/ and
public places. This committee is to
make a report at the next meeting.

The Lindley Floral Co., formerly lo-
cated in theater row on St. Clair sitreet,
has discontinued business. The princi-
pal reason for retirement is said to be
the failing health of the proprietress,
Miss (Linfiey.

N. Nusbaum, ex-president of the Flo-
rists' Club, now is foreman of the Im-
oberstag greenhouses. Mr. Nusbaum
formerly had charge of the greenhouses
of S. N. Peck, which were sold last
month.

Miss Helen Patten, proprietress of
the Patten Flower Store, on Madison
avenue, is preparing for a two months'
vacation in California.

Schramm Bros, are making prepara-
tions for their annual field day at
Strieker 's farm, near Sylvania, O. Elab-
orate plans are being made for the
event, as the club has decided to drop
its annual picnic.

Theodore Shobelsky, formerly en-
gaged by Schramm Bros., has accepted
a position in the store of C. Kaminsky,
on Lagrange street.

S. N. Peck reports that business has
resumed its old-style order. Mr. Peck's
store was damaged to a great extent
some weeks ago by a cave-in of the
building. G. B. S.

USINGEB'S TJTT£BAKCES.

A novel method of delivering bedding
stock has been devised by the Mount
Gilead Floral Co., of Mount Gilead, 0.
A trailer is attached to a touring car.
The trailer has three layers of shelves,
fifteen inches apart. This is convenient
for most bedding stock in pots. The
trailer will carry 1,500 pounds over
any kind of road, in addition to what is
placed in the automobile itself.

Charles Tracht, of Gallon, O., reports
a heavy demand for bedding stock. The
quality of the stock surely merits easy

William Farnsworth & Son, of Gallon,
have a good lot of seasonable stock.
The plant sales have been large.

Mrs. A. Hoflfstadt, of Shelby, 0., had
a run of funeral work last week and
the sales of bedding stock were nu-
merous.

E. B. Hayes, of Shelby, has several
houses of fine carnations, from which
5,000 blooms were cut the week be-
fore Mothers* day.

The Mansfield Floral Co., of Mans-
field, O., is working short-handed. Man-
ager Lintot attends to both the green-
houses and the store.

"Happy" Dow, of Mansfield, keeps
all his workers and customers happy
with his well known smile. It seems to
be his one desire to keep everybody
in good humor, and he succeeds.

Stuhldreher Bros., of Mansfield, dis-
posed of about 50,000 geraniums last
week, besides large quantities of other
bedding stock.

W. H. Zimmerman, of Ashland, O.,
said he had the most successful season
of his business experience, which seems
to be the general report of most of the
florists this year.

The production of his own vegetables
this summer is going to be the diver-
sion of W, Grant Kintigh, of Irwin,
Pa., during the dull months.

Owing to the backward season, Wil-
liam Cromack, of Irwin, has many or-
ders for outdoor planting, which will
keep him busy for some time.

Bedding stock and funeral work have
kept Koerbal Bros., of Jeannette, Pa.,
on the move. It has been the heaviest
season this firm has enjoyed for years.

Joseph Thomas, of Greensburg, Pa.,
likes to see his greenhouses and retail
store running under full pressure, as of
late.

W. W. Bortz, of Greensburg, recently
installed a nifty ribbon case, which
puts the finishing touch to the store.

The centennial celebration at Indi-
ana, Pa., brought several large deco-
rative orders to Mrs. Geo. Straley, of
the same town. W. T. U.

The Market.

There has been a decided improve-
ment in business during the last few
days. The week closing June 17 proved
to be an encouraging one, there being
a tolerably good clean-up of nearly all
flowers, and the present week, with
college commencements, school gradua-
tions, weddings and various social func-
tions, is a satisfactory one. June has
quite belied its reputation for weather.
Up to June 18 we had only two days
that were really clear and free from
rain, the climax coming June 17 with a
fall of two inches. Outdoor flowers are
extremely late. Not until this week did
peonies appear in any quantity, and no
outdoor roses are this year available
for college exercises.

Hoses have been selling well at $1 to
$10 per hundred for hybrid teas, some
fancies making more. American Beau-
ties at $15 to $25 per hundred have
been in good demand, owing to the lack
of peonies. Hadley, Ophelia, Killarney
Queen, White Killarney and Russell are
prime favorites. Carnations have va-
ried from $1 to $2.50 per hundred.
While they are moving better than a
week ago, outdoor herbaceous flowers
now are preferred by many. There is
a good supply of sweet peas, and these
and lily of the valley are selling well.

Peonies so far have realized splendid
prices, but now are on the down grade.
The quality is grand, and it is too bad
that, owing to the late season, a great
proportion of them are too belated for
wedding decorations. Snapdragons now

are quite small. Gladiolus America sells
better than any other of the large-flow-
ered type. Mrs. Francis King comes
next in favor. Pink Perfection proves
the least popular. A good number of
Peach Blossom and Blushing Bride gla-
dioli still come in, but they sell only
moderately well. For such flowers as
stocks, candytuft and feverfew, there
is an uncertain call. Good bachelor's
buttons, however, sell well. A good
cattleya supply is available at last
week's prices; also a nice assortment
of other summer orchids. Gardenias
are scarce. Asparagus plumosus and
Sprengeri each have been selling re-
markably well and the few growers of
smilax have easily cleared all they had.

David and E. J. Welch, at 280 Devon-
shire street, known as Welch's. The
average wholesale flower store is, as a
rule, dark and dingy, with artificial
light a necessity all the time, but at
Welch's on the darkest day none will
be necessary. On the main floor the
15-foot windows, front and back, and
white walls and ceilings make this the
lightest flower store in Boston. The ice
chest, forty-five feet long, is a splendid
one, and everything is up-to-date. The
fact that there are no steps to climb
when entering the store is also a great
advantage. Th« favorite carnation here
at present is Winkler's Morning Glow,
which is a grand summer variety. A
number of the old hands of the Welch
Bros. Co. are to be found here. The
genial Frank Connolly is liked by every-
one. J. E. Smith has charge of the
supply department and Christopher
Donovan is also here.

Wax Bros, report they never had so
many weddings in June as this year.
There are few especially large events,
but there is a great increase in the num-
ber using $40 to $50 worth of flowers
each.

The Boston Florists' Bowling League
has decided that a salt water picnic
would hardly be the correct thing for
its members and therefore has arranged
for an outing June 25 to Lake Boone,
near Hudson, Mass., going by automo-
biles from the wholesale flower markets
at 9 a. ni.

serious damage done to their carnations,
pansies and other plants hj fumes from
the plant of the Avery Chemical Co.
If the company does not settle damages,
there will be a strong effort made to
have its plant closed.

Charles E. Evans is getting a fine lot
of America and Mrs. Francis King gla-
dioli. His peonies are now in good crop,
festiva maxima being particularly good.
Hydrangea Otaksa meets with a good
sale here.

N. E. Boyle, of Maiden, has com-
pleted a rose house 36x135 feet. In
addition to Ophelia, Hadley, Sunburst
and the Killarneys, he will grow Hoosier
Beauty next season.

The annual rhododendron displays in
the Arnold Arboretum, on parkways and
on private estates was at its best here
June 18. Thanks to the copious mois-
ture of the present season, the plants
have bloomed magnificently and the
show is a glorious one. Kalmia latifolia
is this week coming into flower, a little
late for June weddings, in which it is
always popular.

In one of Penn's windows this week
a winding stream, with rocky sides and
pebbled bottom, tumbles -into a pool in
which there are fishes and water lilies.
The planting along the sides is sugges-
tive of a rock garden. I hope to see a
real rock garden here at some early
date. Another window is entirely de-
voted to Penn's brides' bouquets and
shows a wedding scene. The entire
force has been kept on the jump with
wedding orders.

this season than any other grower. He
had 100 dozen Pseonia officinalis rubra
a day before others had a flower in the
market.

At the store of Patrick Welch June
17 I noted vases of picotee tulips still
in fine shape. Valley, Beauty roses,
gladioli and peonies are specialties at
present, and business is good.

Mrs. Zan Brunnen, of North Stough-
ton, is cutting some nice Canterbury
bells, bougainvilleas, calendulas and
peonies.

The Welch Bros. Co., under the new
management, is running along in good
shape. Messrs. Haas and Reynolds, the
new members of the firm, are sparing
no effort to make good and are bound
to succeed. W. N. C.

ST. LOUIS.

Tlie Market.

The market last week was in a splen-
did condition. Seasonable stock was
plentiful, but it did not move so well
as was expected, although there seemed
to be plenty of work among the retail-
ers. The weather was remarkably cool
and the quality of the stock was bene-
fited by it. There still are extra fancy
roses coming in from local growers, with
prices ranging from $2 to $6 per hun-
dred. Carnations in all varieties are
plentiful and prices on these are down
to $2 per hundred for the best. Sweet
peas continue to arrive, but they are
not in oversupply. They are not of
prime quality, but the demand for them
is good. Valley is scarce at present
and choice stock brings $5 per hun-
dred. Some good lilies are seen. Out-
door stock is arriving in large quanti-
ties. Gladioli are in good demand. Ex-
tra fine stalks of America, King, Au-
gusta and Pink Beauty bring $6 per
hundred. Ferns are scarce, but other
greens are plentiful.

souri State Florists' Association, re-

the membership to reach fifty shortly.

The St. Louis Seed Co. has put up
for demonstration at the Missouri Bo-
tanical Garden a Skinner system of irri-
gation, to which the new revolving de-
vice is attached. This concern is the
local representative of the Skinner Irri-
gation Co.

The St. Louis Convention and Pub-
licity Bureau, in a letter to the Flo-
rists' Club, says it desires to bring the
1917 meeting of the S. A. F. to St.
Louis and will cooperate with the club
members to bring this about. This
matter will come up for discussion at
the July meeting of the Florists' Club.

Frank Weber, of the H. J. Weber &
Sons Nursery Co., of Nursery, Mo., says
he will leave June 26 for a northern
trip. He will be in Milwaukee in time
for the meeting of the American Asso-
ciation of Nurserymen.

Pierre Schneider, manager of the Oak-
land Floral Co., of Kirkwood, had a
most successful season in carnations
and sweet peas. His stock is always
classed among the fancies. C. A. Kuehn
marketed the season's output.

Count Andrew von Hoffman, of
George Waldbart's force, reports that
he will take his family for a few weeks'
vacation trip to St. Paul and other
northern points the latter part of this
month. This should be of great bene-
fit to Mr. Hoffman after a season of
hard work.

Henry Ostertag was in his glory last
week, being surrounded by Democrats
on all sides. His place is across from

tional convention was held. Many of

Carl Beyer, Jules Bourdet, F. H.
"Weber and Frank Fillmore took an au-
tomobile trip to Olivette June 15. They
paid a visit to the establishments of
John and Charles Steidle.

The chairmen of all the committees
met with the executive committee of
the spring flower show June 13, at the
store of Jules Bourdet. According to
reports, all are doing fine work. Man-
ager Bourdet, who will have charge of
the show, says it will be one of the,
largest shows St. Louis has ever held.

Emil Rothenheber, who for years has
been in the nursery business at Clayton,
has sold his business, including the
land, to H. W. Endres. The price was
$35,000. Mr. Bothenheber has no plans
for the future, but he says he will take
a good rest. Mr. Endres is a landscape
gardener and a member of the Florists'
Club.

Peter Reinberg, the well known
wholesale florist of Chicago, spent a
few days here last week as delegate
from Illinois to the Democratic national
convention. O. B. Stevens, Mrs. Ste-
vens and daughter, of Shenandoah, la.,
and Mr. Lee, of the Chattahoochee
Floral Co., Hatcher Station, 6a., spent
a few days visiting the trade.

The Lady Florists' Home Circle held
a pleasant meeting at the home of Mrs.
H. G. Berning, June 14. Mrs. A. Meyer,
Jr., will entertain the ladies July 12.

William Schray & Sons, Charles
Beyer, John Held and F. Fillmore say
the season was most successful in all
lines. The spring plant season was es-
pecially large. At present all have
their forces repairing damages done by
the recent hail storm.

Thomas Carr, who handles thousands
of bedding plants at his Union market
stands, says it has been the best season
since he has been in business. The cut
flower department, under the super-
vision of Miss Marie, showed a great
improvement in business.

The local trade received a great shock
last week in the news of the sudden
death of William F. Easting, of Buffalo,

Kasting was a New York delegate to
the Democratic convention. This being
Mr. Kasting 's old home, he expressed a
wish to meet his old friends, so a visit
was paid to the wholesale district and
other places June 14. That evening he

The large amount of rainy weather
has been a great handicap to the grow-
ers in Newark and vicinity. The
nights have been cold, the ground is
cold and the sun is out but a small
part .of the time. Growers are com-
plaining that stock planted in the fields
is not grov^ng well, and the foliage
is often yellow. The only things that
do grow well are the weeds. Besides
the great amount of inclement weather,
the growers have been hit hard by the
scarcitv of labor. It is next to impos-
sible lor the majority of growers to
secure enough help to keep up with
their work, and practically everyone is
behind.

This being the season for flowers,
there are many in the market, regard-
less of adverse growing conditions.
Prices have kept up pretty well during
the last ten days. Outside valley is
gone, and the greenhouse varieties are
high-priced and not of first quality.
Valley went as high as $5 per hundred
at wholesale last week. Sweet peas are
less plentiful, because of the cloudy
weather. Many buds dried up for lack

of sunshine. Carnations are abundant
and reasonable in price. Peonies are
more plentiful and the larger varieties
are coming to the market. There was a
large increase in the quantity of flow-
ering sweet William plants last week,
and they seem to be in good demand.
MarigMds are more plentiful. Mar-
guerites are not so abundant as they
were, but mountain daisies and yellow
daisies are still equal to the demand.
Some of the stores have mountain laurel
on sale. Callas are unusually good for
this season of the year. There are some
bluebells in the market.

Olub Meeting.

At a meeting of the Essex County
Florists' Club at Krueger's auditorium
June 15, it was voted to give $10 to
the fund which is being raised for Miss
Jarvis, the founder of Mothers' day.
The committee on the summer outing
made a report of its tentative plans,
which were informally discussed by
those present. While many details have
not yet been decided upon, the plans
contemplate an outing similar to the
one held last year. It will be held at
Gillette, N. J., the first week of August,
though possibly at a different location
from that of last summer. There will
be athletic games, sports, etc., and a
good dinner. The members will go
from Newark and surrounding places' in
automobiles.

Various Notes.

J. J. Wilson, of the J. J. Wilson Seed
Co., reports that business is fairly good,
coming up to last year, but that it
would have been much better if people
were not so busy. Many instances have
come to his notice of people who were
too busy this year to make gardens.

A cage of waltzing mice last week
attracted much attention in the window
of George Penek.

Greeks with push carts filled with
flowers made their appearance in New-
ark again last week. While common
in parts of New York, this is the first
time they have been seen in Newark
this season. They sold peonies at 3
cents each and carnations at 2 cents.

Fred P. Wolfinger reports a large
amount of funeral work and many
weddings.

Henry A. Strobell, on Broad street,
states that business is excellent for
this time of the year. He has had
work for a number of weddings and
social events.

Philips Bros, say business is good now
and payments more prompt than they
were a while ago. Frank and Fred
Philips, of this firm, went bass fishing
at Weequahic lake when the bass sea-
son opened last week.

There was a unique floral display at
the firemen's parade in Newark last
week, in connection with the aoHiver-
sary celebration of the city. Among
the visitors were a number of the fire
department of Madison, N. J., with the
chief's automobile and one piece of
apparatus. These advertised the fact
that Madison is a rose growing city as
much as they did its fire department.
The chief's automobile had a large

bunch of Beauty roses, with extra long
stems, on each corner of the windshield,
while the radiator of the machine was
covered with asparagus and Beauties.
The sides and running board were a
mass of asparagus. The back of the
auto was covered with asparagus and
red, white and blue flowers, each color
in a strip by itself, so as to give the
appearance of the national colors.
Along the top of the other machine
was a shelf filled with pots of pink
roses. The sides were decorated with
asparagus and roses, and at the rear an
extension was built which was banked
with hundreds of roses. Two firemen
stood on the extension and threw these
roses to the crowds. In large letters
along each side of this piece of appa-
ratus were the words, "The Eose City,
Madison, N. J."

ANNANDAUB, N. Y.

The nineteenth annual rose exhibition
of Annandale, the tented show of
Dutchess county's millionaires and
* ' leading citizens ' ' — Astor, Sargent,
Eoosevelt— 'opened on the afternoon of
June 13 with a fine display of cut flow-
ers and plants. Had the weather been
more June-like, the 2-day exhibition
would have surpassed any of its prede-
cessors, as the only thing lacking was
a large attendance.

There were classes for amateurs, chil-
dren, private gardeners and commercial
growers. Those of the latter class were:
Bobbink & Atkins, of Eutherford, N. J.,
entries comprising cut rose blooms and
herbaceous plants; Elmer Coon, of
Ehinebeck, N. Y., cut flowers and
plants; Saltford Flower Shop, of Pough-
keepsie, N. Y., carnations and sweet
peas; Jul von der Linden, of Ehinebeck,
carnations; William Wildey, of Barry-
town, carnations and ferns. The judges
were F. IL. Atkins, P. O'Mara, L. Bar-
ron and F. E. Pierson. Among the
donators of prizes were Peter Hender-
son & Co., of New York, and the Amer-
ican Eose Society.

La Jolla, Cal. — M. C. Elliott, former-
ly associated with the La Jolla Floral
Gardens, has started a florists' business
here on his own account.

Santa Cruz, OaL — R. A. Lounsbury is
another of the number in this vicinity
who recently hava gone into freesia
growing. Last autumn he planted near-
ly 500,000 bulblets of Freesia Purity
and now is preparing to harvest and
market his crop.

Elmhurst, Cal. — Harry Hayashi was
granted a patent May 16 on a device
for wrapping potted plants described
as designed to permit the use of inex-
perienced employees and to reduce the
expense of wrapping plants. The de-
vice consists of a stand around the
center of which is a nest of paper, fun-
nel-shaped wrappers that can be drawn
up one at a time around the pot and
plant to be wrapped. In wrapping a
plant the operator is to choose a wrap-
per of the proper size so that the pot
will not pass through the lower end, the
upper end requiring only to be gathered
and tied above the plant.

LOS ANQELES.

Tlie Market.

The present week has been a de-
cidedly good one, despite the fact that
one day was spoiled by the prepared-
ness parade. Funeral work has again
been plentiful. Not only have the re-
tailers had about all they could handle,
but the wholesalers also have been busy
shipping pieces, already made up, to
outside points. This is a business that
is not pushed as much as it might be,
for many small retailers in outlying
districts have not the best of facilities
for making up their own work.

Stock has cleaned up fairly well.
The most abundant items are gladioli
and second-grade carnations. Cen-
taureas are plentiful and, as usual,
meet with a good demand as fillers for
funeral work. Asters are not as yet
a big factor in the market, but they
are of fair quality for so early in the
season. The two beautiful dahlias,
Minnie Burgle and Delice, are well
represented, and the various types of
Golden West also meet with favor.
Sweet peas are excellent; it is seldom
that such fine flowers are seen at this
time of year. RoBes are about as last
noted. Some good carnations are in,
besides a large quantity of second-rate
ones. Valley has been in big demand
and some days in poor supply. Orchids
are plentiful. Ferns and pot plants are
on the short side, but the demand is
not great. There are plenty of greens
of all kinds.

Variotis Notes.

Manager W. Wern, of Wright's
Flower Shop, says the June business
has been excellent so far, and that the
numerous rush orders for weddings
have led to trouble in obtaining stock
at times. The rose stock from the
Gardena ranch is arriving in good shape
for this time of year.

A good many large specimen trees
and shrubs have been sold lately at

W* ar« muck pleased with the
results ef eur plant advertisements

in freely and from a wide range ef
territory.

Germain Seed & Plant Co.

the Coolidge Rare Plant Gardens, of
Pasadena. Mr. Coolidge is away on an
eastern trip, intending to visit all the
principal cities.

Oscar Roessner, of Pomona, was at-
tacked by thugs at his nursery early in
the week and seriously injured.

J. Dieterich is shipping another car-
load of palms to the east. He is fast
filling up the Wall street place again
with fine stock from the Montebello
nursery.

The Germain Seed & Plant Co. is han-
dling a fine lot of 4-inch cyclamens,
grown at their nursery on the Whittier
road. Large landscape contracts are
making heavy inroads on the finished
stock here. About fifty of the male
employees of this house joined in the
preparedness parade June 13.

A full attendance is looked for at the
joint picnic of the Los Angeles County
and the Pasadena Horticultural Socie-
ties in the Santa Monica canon. Hal
Kruckeberg will lead the Los Angeles
baseball team, as usual.

A contract has been let for the build-
ing of a new citrus experiment station
at Riverside, at an estimated cost of
$119,500. The old site at the foot of
Mount Rubidoux will be abandoned
when the new one is completed. Three
main buildings, residences, shops, barns
and greenhouses, will be included, as
well as a library and offices. The sta-
tion will be under the jurisdiction of
the University of California and will
contain facilities for research into the
plant life of the state, as well as the
special work on citrus and other fruit.
Work will be started at once and it is
hoped that the buildings will be fin-
ished this year.

With the beautiful native vegetation
running wild all around them, it is sad
to see the efforts being made by the
authorities to keep the wretched looking
roses alive along the state and county
highways. In the beautiful foothill dis-
trict, especially, where the whole coun-
try is like an immense natural garden,
men are engaged in chopping around
the hideous fences to clear away the
weeds (?), and are followed by the
water cart to give a driblet to each
poor, puny plant. The Los Angeles
street palms have gone into limbo and
will soon be forgotten. It is to be
hoped that the rose trellises will soon
follow; then we can forget the foolish
expenditure that only made the county
the laughingstock of every visitor and
every thinking resident.

J. Rolleri, of the California Cut

present clip they will have to move to
larger quarters.

The Eedondo Floral Co. has had quite
a run on baskets since June 10. It was
necessary to wire east for a large con-
signment, which arrived on time to fill
the hiatus. In recognition of its per-
sonnel favoring national preparedness,
the store was closed June 14, and the
entire staff joined in the parade. The

The Market.

Business seems to have been a little
spotted last week, as some of the down-
town florists report unusual activity
for this time of the year, while others
say things are quiet. All agree, how-
ever, that funeral work has been the
principal feature. Stock is plentiful
and is good for the most part, although
the average quality of roses and other
flowers is not so good as it was a short

time ago. American Beauties are
neither so good nor so plentiful as they
were, as the growers are preparing for
the next season. Klllarney is plentiful.
There is an abundance of sweet peas,
as well as carnations, and both are
cheap, in competition with the bounti-
ful supply of all kinds of outdoor stock,
such as Shasta daisies, marguerites,
mignonette, marigolds, gaillardias, co-
reopsis, gypsophilas, statice, stocks,
etc. Gladioli show fair quality, but
they are not at their prime as yet.

cosmos is being used and good snap-
dragon finds a ready outlet. Some of
the florists are using a good deal of
Spanish broom, the bright yellow
sprays being effective in the stores.
In other stores a feature is made of
cockscomb. Dahlias are improving rap-
idly. French hydrangeas are still in
good supply, both cut and potted, and
they maintain their popularity well.
A good deal of Lilium giganteum con-
tinues in the market, but it manages to
clean up fairly well. There is plenty
of everything, with the exception of
orchids. These are really scarce, but a
better supply is expected in about two
weeks. A few nice gigas can be seen
and there are some phalffiuopsis, but
cattleyas are at a premium.

Various Notes.

The E. W. McLellan Co. is bringing
in a fair cut of American Beauty roses
and reports a good shipping business
both in roses and carnations.

The MacKorie-McLaren Co. has had
splendid success with French hydran-
geas this season and still is bringing
in a good deal of potted stock.

Jack Olson, of the New Rosarie, re-
cently handled a good-sized wedding
decoration, which was rather unusual
in color scheme, pink and lavender
chiffon, sweet peas and whi'te roses 'be-
ing used. Mr. Olson expects to go to
Vallejo July 3 to decorate some of the
automobiles for the big floral parade
on the Fourth.

A, J. Rossi, of Pelicano, Rossi & Co.,
says business gives no ground for com-
plaint, June bidding fair to be one of
the best months of the year so far.
Frank Pelicano is still at the springs
on account of rheumatism. He intends
to remain there this time until he is
entirely cured.

Vacations are in order at Joseph's,
on Grant avenue. Mr. Hammersmith,
designer, is away this week. B. M.
Joseph, proprietor, expects to leave
shortly for Lake Tahoe, probably to be
gone a month, and immediately upon
his return Manager F. J. Bertrand
plans to get away.

Mr. Picetti, manager of the flower
and seed stand in the Emporium, which
is operated by Charles Navlet, of San
Jose, Cal., says this has been the heavi-
est spring trade he ever saw. He has
held several special sales of nursery
stock, during which large quantities of
stock were moved. Mr. Picetti plans to
leave in a few days on a month's vaca-
tion. He has been on the job steadily
for two years and needs one.

Podesta & Baldocchi made several
elaborate pieces for the funeral of Mrs.
Easton, a prominent resident of Bur-
lingame, which took place June 14.

The Market.

Summer weather began in earnest
last week and cut stock showed the
effect of the heat. Unless used when
quite fresh, many varieties were wast-
ed. The grammar schools held graduat-
ing exercises and considerable stock
was used in bouquets for the students.
Counter trade fell off somewhat, due to
the hot weather and the large quan-
tities of garden flowers available. The
bedding season is about finished and
the growers are filling their benches
with summer stock.

AHEBICAN SEED TRADE ASSOCIATION.

President. John M. Lapton, Mattituck, L. I.;
Secretary-Treasurer, C. E. Kendel, Cleveland, O.

THE SEED TRADE CONVENTION.

In Session at Chicago.

The goodly attendance, numbering
over 100, at the opening of the thirty-
fourth annual convention of the Amer-
ican Seed Trade Association wafe no-
table as being highly representative.
From Marblehead, Mass., to San Fran-
cisco, Cal., and from the gulf to Mani-
toba they foregathered in the Hotel
Sherman, Chicago, June 20. It is a
business convention and no time was
spent on preliminaries. The meeting
was called to order by President Lup-
ton, who introduced J. C. Vaughan, of
Chicago. Mr. Vaughan delivered an
address of welcome which was received
with enthusiasm. The president then
called on F. W. Bolgiano, of Washing-
ton, the second vice-president. Mr.
Bolgiano addressed himself primarily to
the Chicago seedsmen. In his opening
remarks he said: "The last time we
were here you almost blew us away with
your winds — now we get the cold shoul-
der from your climate."

Following Mr. Bolgiano 's talk the
president read his address to the asso-
ciation. The reading was accorded the
closest attention and on motion a com-
mittee consisting of J. C. Vaughan, of
Chicago; S. F. Willard, Wether sfield.
Conn.; C. C. Massie, Minneapolis,
Minn., and H. M. Earl, Philadelphia,
was appointed to consider the recom-
mendations embodied in the president's
address.

J. C. Robinson, of Waterloo, Neb.,
was nominated by F. W. Bolgiano to
fill the vacancy in the membership
committee caused by the death of Al-
bert McCullough. Mr. Robinson tried
to pass the nomination to S. F. Willard,
but the latter refused to accept it, and
on motion the rules were suspended and
•Secretary Kendel cast a ballot electing
Mr. Robinson. Then followed the re-
port of the secretary-treasurer. Acting
on the suggestion of the secretary, the
president appointed the following to act
as an auditing committee: S. F, Leon-
ard, of Chicago; W. S. Woodruff, of
Orange, Conn., and Burnet Landretb,
Jr., of Bristol, Pa.

In the absence of W. F. Therkildson,
chairman of the committee on postal
laws, E. C. Dungan, of Philadelphia, re-
ported on work done by that committee
during the year.

The Disclaimer.

By an almost unanimous vote it was
decided to support thii usp of the dis-
claimer as urged in the president's ad-
dress. The use of any modification of
the established form, as 5>anctif>ned by
the associatjou, was strongly discoun-
tenanced.

Besolntlons Adopted.

A resolution was adopted supporting
all reasonable seed legislation, but in-
sisting that such legislation shall be
both workable and universally appli-
cable, considering neither the merchant
nor the producing farmer as above the
law.

John M. Lupton.
(President American Seed Trade Association.)

A resolution expressed the members'
satisfaction with the gain made by the
cental system during the year and
recommended it for universal use.

Action was taken to retain Curtis
Nye Smith, of Boston, Mass., as coun-
sel for the association.

Social Features.

While the men were wrestling with
great problems during the afternoon of

June 21, the ladies were invited by the
Chicago seedsmen for an automobile
ride. The route taken was along the
north shore, with a stop at the Moraine
hotel in Highland Park for tea.

The president's reception on the
evening of June 20 was a most enjoy-
able affair.

The annual banquet was held at the
Sherman during the evening of June 21.

Com in the Northwest.

A. K. Bush, of Northrup, King & Co.,
Minneapolis, presented a paper discus-
sing the evolution of corn growing in
the northwest. "The pioneers of fifty
years ago found in the great northwest
only the small eared, eight to twelve
row Flint corns," said Mr. Bush. "The
Dent corns for the north were intro-
duced in the early seventies. Pride of
the North, a variety which is still
standard, was originated by H. G. God-
dard, of Fort Atkinson, la. In 1876
Mr. Goddard sold his crop of seed corn
to the Hiram Sibley Seed Co., of Chi-
cago, this company giving it its name.
This has formed the foundation stock
for a g^eat many of the present north-
ern corns.

"The first White Dent corn grown in
the north was introduced by Northrup,
Braslan, Goodwin Co. in 1888. From
this variety has .been bred a consid-
erable number of White Dent strains
for northern growing.

"Statistics of 1879 show the area
devoted to corn in Minnesota, North
and South Dakota, and Montana as a
trifle over a half million acres. In less
than thirty-five years the acreage in
these four states has been increased
more than ten fold."

^ ^'CLIPPER'' CLEANERS

Successfully Handle All Kinds of FLOWER, GARDEN and FIELD SEEDS

12^^';;^^^

|F you are interested in a ma-
chine for screening and grad-
' ing any kind of seeds, grain,
beans, peas or bulbs, you
might do well to investigate our claims
in regard to our machines.

The Clipper Cleaners are used by
all the large seedsmen in the United
States, also in many foreign countries.

The No. 39 Cleaner, shown herewith,
is equipped with our new Variable Air
Regulator. A perfectly uniform air
blast, absolutely under control and en-
tirely free from fluctuation, is one of
the most essential and important con-
siderations in cleaning seeds and grains.

Different kinds of seeds and grains, and different conditions of the seeds or grains, call
for varying strength of the air blast used in separating the dust, chaff and light, shrunken
seeds or grain from the heavy, perfect seeds and grain. The Clipper Variable Air Regula-
tor gives exact control of the air blast at every desired point. " From a zephyr to a
hurricane" (and every intermediate point between) exactly describes the range of air
blast that can be se-
cured by this mechani-
cal device. We can
produce a blast strong
enough to blow out the
heaviest grain, or peas
or beans, and by an
adjustment requiring
but an instant reduce
the blast sufficient for
handling the lightest
seeds, such as timothy,
red top or blue grass.

The Florists' Review

JUMB 22, 1916.

Mr. Bush then described cultural
methods and instanced results that had
come under his observation. "Now,
what does this indicate! First, that
good seed has much to do with the yield
and, second, that by proper care of the
land, combined with good seed, larger
and better crops can be raised, thus in-
creasing land values.

"Southern grown seed com, regard-
less of variety or its earliness in the
south, is quite sure to disappoint north-
western planters. For example, corn
raised in the middle tier of counties in
Iowa will not give satisfactory results
in the latitude of Minneapolis. Also
southern Iowa grown corn can not be
'depended upon to mature anywhere in
Minnesota. Seed corn from the north,

son Spencers are "fixed." They are
remarkable for their floriferousness
and length of blooming period. They
produce handsome flowers with long
stems and in every way are recom-
mended for florists.

These flrst-class novelties should
not only be grown by florists, but will
be valuable for all the Southern States,
Hawaiian Islands and all countries with
hot and tropical climates. The season
of flowering is a long one and we have
had them in flower from February to
June and still flowering.

All catalogue houses should have
these splendid new Sweet Peas.

Seed will be supplied by Seed Deal-
ers, whom we are supplying direct.

and we expect to make early delivery to
the Trade.)

Florists are requested to get further
information concerning these grand
novelties from the Trade.

PRESIDENT LUPTON'S ADDBESS.

[In opening the Chicago convention June 20
President F. M. Lupton spoke in part as fol-
lows. ]

If the earlier years of this associa-
tion did nothing else, they certainly
promoted a spirit of good fellowship
throughout the trade, without which all
efforts at cooperation in any line must
fail and which in itself has laid a good
foundation for the more serious work
which in recent years it has been called
upon to do.

The Seed Trade Association today
has a mission. It is not merely protec-
tive, but constructive as well. We
need no protection beyond that which
justice and equity ought to provide,
but justice and equity may be ob-
scured through misunderstanding; there-
fore we find a united work on the part
of the whole seed trade necessary to
secure them, and there never was a time
in the history of the seed trade when
cooperation has been more urgently
needed, not only because of its pro-
tective features, but to promote those
higher business ideals for which this
association avowedly stands.

A business convention seems to be in
order at the present time, one which
will strengthen the bond which binds
the trade together through the medium
of this association, and I am free to
confess that I feel my responsibility.
My experience in the seed business has
been that of a grower only; my prob-
lems those of the field, rather than those
of the office. While fully mindful of
the honor conferred by election to the
highest place within the power of this
association to bestow, I am conscious of
a lack of knowledge of the retail busi-
ness, which must be made up by the
hearty cooperation of those more fa-
miliar with it, if we are to work out
the problems before us for the greatest
benefit of the seed trade.

Seed Legislation.

I shall refer only to the general sub-
ject of legislation, as our counsel and
legislative committee will later on treat
of the specific legislation of the year.
If seed legislation is honestly intended
to better seed standards, to get rid of
impurities, and result in the production
of better seeds for the benefit of the
farmers of the country, there are no

seedsmen, so far as I know, but would
be glad to see that result accomplished,
with absolute honesty of purpose on the
part of all concerned. It would only re-
main for us to seek out the most prac-
tical way of accomplishing that most
desirable result. But all of the seed
legislation of which I have knowledge
seems to be predicated upon the as-
sumption that a merchant is always the
responsible party. The term "adul-
terated seeds" is not used to imply that
the seeds have actually been adulterated,
and that the seeds of weeds, the pres-
ence of which are forbidden by legisla-
tive mandate, have really been mixed
in to make weight. As a matter of
fact, we all know and nobody will
deny, that the weeds grow in the fields
with the crop from which the seed is
harvested, that the weed seeds are har-
vested with the good seed, and that we
are depending on some machine to sepa-
rate the weed seeds from the good seed
until it reaches the standard set by our
several state legislatures.

Wliy Not Go to the Fields?

Now, if the activities of government
are to be invoked in an honest effort
to make seeds better, why not go to

New Early Flowering Giant Pansies

Or Winter Blooming

An entirely new and distinct strain of Pansies. The main advan-
tage of these new Pansies over all hitherto existing Pansies is the
extreme e^trliftess of flowering and its unusual hardiness, which enables
them to withstand quite severe Winters, and to bloom right on into
the Summer. Sown at the same time as other Pansies, they begin
flowering the early part of March or as soon as the snow is off the
ground, many times having four or five large flowers to a plant, when
all other Pansies are only showing buds. The flowers are large, well
formed and fragrant. They are highly recommended for Autumn
planting on graves, and for very early bedding, as well as for early
cut flowers.

the fields t I am inclined to believe
that the weeds can be taken from a
growing field of grass seed with more
certainty, while it is growing, than we
can expect to attain in removing the
seeds by means of cleaning machinery,
after they have been harvested, and if
the field is so full of weeds that they
cannot>-be removed without excessive
cost, th» fWWuct should not be saved
for seed. ~ ,

We may perhaps assume that our law-
makers are actuated only by a desire
to preveni .the spread of noxious weeds,
a desireSrfell worthy of our active sup-
port, but the attempt to exempt farm-
ers from" the operation of all such
statutes may go far to defeat the real
purpose of the statute itself.

I believe that an inspection of the
growing fields by competent authority,
the certification by such authority of
those fields found suitable for seed pur-
poses, and the condemnation of such
fields as contain too many of those
plants which we are trying to guard
against, would be the most practical
way in which the resources of govern-
ment could be employed to improve
seeds.

tem exclusively by offering all grass, clover,

ing the listing or trading in quarts, pecks or

This subject is one which has been
discussed from time to time, but up to
the present I know of no definite action
being taken. I bring this resolution to
your attention with the recommenda-
tion that such action be taken as would
seem most likely to result in the final
adoption of the cental system as a
standard of this association.

The Disclaimer.

During the last year conditions have
arisen in connection with the use of
the disclaimer which call for most care-
ful consideration of the whole subject
by this convention. I feel that I may
not content myself with the mere
recommendation for the continued use
of the disclaimer, but that the whole
situation should be thoroughly gone

into at this session. I think I may as-
sume that the circumstances which
have led to the present situation are
fairly well understood by the members
of this association and that it is un-
necessary for me at this time to go
into them in detail. The passage of a
seed law in the state of Wisconsin, the
effort, and eventual success of the can-
ners of that state, in securing growing
contracts, with the disclaimer clause
stricken out, seems to have led, or at
least seems likely to lead, to an or-
ganized effort to destroy the efficiency
of the established custom of the trade,
in marketing goods under the condi-
tions named in the disclaimer, which

62

The Florists' Review

are generally -regarded -hy>- «eedsmen.A8
essential to their protection.

An informal conference was called
March 2, and a number of seedsmen met
in this city, at which time the situation
was carefully discussed and resolutions
passed, but this action, which was in-
tended to meet what seemed to be a
pressing emergency, was not and could
not be made the action of this asso-
ciation.

The past is behind us, the future is
before us. We are at present con-
cerned in seeking a solution of the
problem which will preserve the terms
of sale under the disclaimer as an es-
tablished custom of the trade in its
dealings with the public, for such a
custom must be maintained or the dis-
claimer is of no value.

Now, in looking over the terms of
sale made by the trade, as they appear
in catalogues and elsewhere, this cus-
tom seems to be well established, but
it is used in a great variety of ways;
on th'e letter-heads it sometimes appears
at the top of the page, sometimes be-
low the business heading, sometimes at
the bottom, and sometimes not at all;
in the catalogues it is generally used,
but usually in connection with other
matter intended to explain its use,
which in some instances seems to as-
sume a rather apologetic tone. There
seems to be no clearly defined rule gov-
erning its use and from the manner of
its use by some dealers I should say
they were a little apprehensive as to its
effect upon the buying public.

I recommend that this convention
formulate a set of rules -governing the
use of the disclaimer; that it define
clearly any class of trade in which its
omission would not affect its value to
the trade as an established custom, and
that these rules, with an explanation
of their necessity, and an urgent re-
quest for their adoption be sent to all
members of this association.

Trade-marking Membera

All presidents who have come and
gone before me have expressed a hope
that this association might be made
stronger. It is of course obvious that
any benefit which may result from its
work must benefit all dealers in seeds
and can in no way be confined to our
own membership. I believe that this
association stands for a square deal and
that the fact of membership if placed
before the public might have an influ-
ence of value. An idea occurs to me
in this connection which may be worth
considering, and in order that it may
have such consideration I recommend
that a trade-mark be adopted which all
members in good standing may use to
indicate their membership to the gen-
eral public. This custom obtains in
many similar bodies and has to my
knowledge been beneficial, particularly
among those whose patronage is largely
found among farmers.

Forty-first annual meeting, Milwaukee, Wis.,
June 28 to 80, 1916.

Next week's A. A. N. meeting at Mil-
waukee promises to be the most interest-
ing in the history of the organization.

The U. S. Department of Agriculture
recently issued Bulletin No. 742, "The
White Pine Blister Bust," of interest to
nurserymen who have had trouble because
of this disease.

The National Apple Growers' Asso-
ciation, the first of its kind in the United
States, which was formed at a meeting
at the Planters ' hotel, St. Louis, June 6,
will hold its first annual convention at
St. Louis, August 2 and 3. The purpose
of the association is to prevent some mar-
kets from being flooded with apples,
while others do not have enough. Among
those at the meeting were: P. C. Stark,
of the Stark Bros. Nurseries & Orchards
Co., Louisiana, Mo.; Prof. H. C. Irish,
president of the Missouri State Horticul-
tural Society; WUliam Perrine, president
of the Dlinois State Horticultural So-
ciety; H. M. Dunlap, of Savoy, 111.; E.
A. Simpson, of Vincennes, Ind. ; F. H.
Simpson, of Flora, 111.; J. M. Tanner,

PLANTS VIA ROTTERDAM.

Only 325 cases of plants arrived last
week at New York on board the Hol-
land-America steamer Eyndam, from
Botterdam. The shipment was unusu-
ally small, considering the fact that
arrivals from Holland have been few
and far between and that it probably
marks the close of the season. The
consignees of the Byndam cargo, ac-
cording to the New York customhouse
papers, were as follows:

Downing & Co., 39 cases plants.
P. C. Kuyper & Co., 9 cases plants; 2 cases
trees.

R. F. Lang, 6 cases plants.
H. Langeler, 19 cases plants; 2 cases bulbs.
Loechner & Co., 71 cases plants.
Lunham & Moore, 77 cases plants.
McHutchlson A Co., 80 cases plants.
Maltua dc Ware, 25 cases plants.

PLANTINa BY MACHINERY.

A machine which plants from 10,000
to 15,000 forest tree seedlings a day is
being usei at the Letchworth Park for-
est and arboretum, in Wyoming county,
N. Y. Previously the planting has
been done by hand at the rate of 1,200
to 1,500 trees each day per man.-

The machine was designed to set out
cabbage and tomato plants, but works
equally well with treees. It is about
the size of an ordinary mowing ma-
chine and is operated by three men and
two horses. One man drives the team
while the other two handle the seed-
lings. The machine makes a furrow, in
which the trees are set at any desired
distance, and an automatic device in-
dicates where they should be dropped.

Two metal-tired wheels push and roll
the soil firmly down around the roots.
This is a desirable feature, it is said,
because the seedlings are apt to die if
this is not well done. Two attachments
make it possible to place water and fer-
tilizer at the roots of each seedling.
Another attachment marks the line on
which the next row of trees is to be
planted.
No cost figures are available yet, but

These grand ornamental trees are "coming into their own" in the middle and west-

there is nothing to be compared with them for beauty and producing an immediate effect.
Our stocks have been specially selected by a specialist in Europe. We carry an immense

MINNI!APOLIS, MINN.

Incessant rains are our chief trouble
at present. Vegetation is flourishing.
The bulk of the planting-out work is
finished.

The Civic and Commerce Commission
has decided to place another 100 win-
dow boxes to add to the city's hand-
some appearance. The New York daily
papers are commending the hanging
gardens of Minneapolis. It is a fine
boost for the trade and it surely would
pay florists in other cities to take up
the matter of embellishing their home
towns.

The Franklin Gardens, at Sixtieth
and [Lyndale avenues, have a magnifi-
cent show of herbaceous plants and cut
flowers. This concern specializes in
pyrethrums, irises, peonies, delphiniums,
roses and other stock. The sweet peas
are exceptionally good, considering the
poor climatic conditions.

The Minneapolis Floral Co. has
planted a good grade of asters in its
greenhouses. Funeral and wedding
work was heavy last week.

The Hiawatha Gardens Co. has a fine
lot of young chrysanthemums. This
company makes a specialty of ferns
and I saw several houses of Bostons
in fine condition. An increase in busi-
ness is reported. A good deal of space
is devoted to young poinsettias.

Wm. F. Holmes had a pretty window
display last week. Many little lace
ferns, tied with dainty pink tulle bows,
made a fine display. Artistically ar-
ranged baskets were set off by a back-
ground of ferns and palms. Business
is reported good.

The Lake View, a new store recently
opened and operated by Geanokaplos
Bros., has a splendid flower department.

A short distance from the Lake View
A. Abdallah is working up a steady
trade in cut flowers and plants. He
carries a good assortment of stock and
has a good trade in funeral and corsage
work.

John Martens, at Lake street and
Bloomington avenue, has a fine display
of baby rambler roses, geraniums and
double marguerites. He has been busy
with wedding and funeral orders.

The West Floral Co. cleared most of
its stock and now is preparing to plant
the autumn stock. Spring trade here
has been the best ever.

William Desmond is working hard to
get the Lyndale range into .first-class
shape. Among other things, he will

has already handled with good success.

The supply of stock last week, al-
though short, was suflBcient for the de-
mand. The rainy weather curtailed the
sale of cut flowers somewhat. Lilies
sold at $6 to $9 per hundred; maiden-
hair ferns, $1 to $1.25 per hundred;
roses, $4 to $6 per hundred; carnations,
$2.50 per hundred for the best. The
supply of peonies is becoming heavier
daily.

The Sunshine Florist had an artis-
tically decorated window last week.
Large masses of deep pink peonies were
used. Baskets of gladioli, sweet peas,
daisies, roses and carnations were used
to good effect.

JCNB 22, 1916.

BUFFAIjO.

The Market.

Business showed no marked improve-
ment during the last week. At the be-
ginning of the week stock was some-
what on the short side, especially roses,
but later these began to arrive more
heavily and the receipts have not.
stopped. Beauties are plentiful and of
good quality, taking the weather and
the lateness of the season into consid-
eration. Yellow roses still are in great
demand and Ophelia enjoys a r^ady
sale. Both White Killarney and Kil-
larney have been clearing. Carnations
are beginning to accumulate. Although
the demand for them is brisk, the sup-
ply is too large.

Valley, as usual, continues to cling to
the short side. The continual dark
weather has played havoc with the
sweet peas. It seems as if their end is
near. Lilies are sufficient for all de-
mands. Yellow daisies are selling with-
out any difficulty, while snapdragons,
centaureas and calendulas meet with a
fair demand. Gardenias have been out
of the question entirely.

Peonies are more than plentiful;
their quality is much better than last
week. The peony season is prolonged
this year. Many are used in funeral
work, especially the whites. Good As-
paragus plumosus is rather scarce; so,
too, are good ferns. The Sprengeri con-
dition is similar to that of plumosus.

Various Notes.

Werner Bultmann, of 151 James
street, Syracuse, N. Y., was a visitor
here last week, as well as S. D. Greene,
of H. Bayersdorfer & Co., Philadelphia.

Nearly every florist in the city
worked late Saturday night and all of
them labored Sunday morning prepar-
ing pieces for the funeral of William F.
Kasting.

Wedding orders booked by W. J.
Palmer & Son have been more numer-
ous than in any preceding year.

The death of William F. Kasting, re-
corded in this week's obituary column,
caused deep sorrow throughout the city,
for Mr. Kasting was a leading spirit in
many activities other than those of the
trade. Barely, if ever, has a funeral
in Buffalo brought such an outpouring
of citizens or such a gathering of not-
able men. The funeral flowers were
wonderful. A. E.

AMKEBST, MASS.

The department of floriculture of the
Massachusetts Agricultural College is
closing its work for the college year
and has been able to place fourteen
men for summer work. Prof. A. H.
Nehrling, head of the department, is
to be married June 29, at South Bend,
Ind. The couple will go to Colorado
on their wedding trip. A. S. Thurston,
assistant in the department, is to teach
floriculture in the courses to be given
in the summer school.

Under the direction of A. S. Thur-
ston, the perennial garden has been en-
larged and quite a number of new
plants have been added. The garden
at present includes a representative
collection of herbaceous perennials. It
contains about 3,000 plants, represent-
ing 450 species and varieties. The
perennials are planted in large beds,
each genus and species being correctly
labeled.

MERRY CHRISTMAS

FIVE YEARS AGO we offered you Pocahontas, with the assurance that it would soon displace all other
crimsons. Some of you bought it and were glad. Others turned it down and later on regretted having done
so. That is why the demand for the cuttings was fully double the supply this past winter. This is not
meant for a complaint, but merely to caution you not to make the same mistake with Merry Christmas. We
believe that Merry Christmas will take the same place among scarlets that Pocahontas holds among the
crimsons. If you have confidence in our judgment, send us your order now and get in on the early deliveries. Dissemina-
tion begins next December.

Tlie Market.

The retailers continue busy. School
graduations take their usual quantities
of flowers, and many weddings, both
large and small, are booked for this
month. Several of the stores have had
some large decorations, both in and out
of the city. Roses and carnations con-
tinue scarce and of poor quality, owing
to the cool, cloudy weather. Outside
flowers, such as peonies, irises, etc., are
arriving and the cool weather is pro-
longing the blooming period and hard-
ening the . flowers. The demand for
these is good. The planting season is
about completed and most growers re-
port a good, big season, with their
stock well disposed of.

Various Notes.

The regular meeting of the St. Paul
Florists' Club was held at O. R. Eck-
hardt's, June 13. The picnic in con-
junction with the Minnesota State Flo-
rists' Association and the Minneapolis
Florists' Club was discussed and a com-
mittee was appointed to attend the
meeting of the Minnesota State Flo-
rists' Association at Holm & Olson's,
June 22, when a Minneapolis delegation
would also be on hand. The program
for this meeting includes a stereopticon
lecture on "The Minneapolis Park Sys-
tem," by Theodore Wirth, of Minne-
apolis, and an address on "Outdoor
Rose Culture," by Ernest Meyers.

Among recent visitors were Frank M.

The Florists^ Review

JDNB 22, 1916.

BALTIMORE.

The Market.

Business conditions last week were an
improvement over those of the week
previous. Cloudy weather shortened
the supply and many school commence-
ments created a good demand for stock.
Prices, owing to the increased demand,
have advanced a little and everything
is more satisfactory.

There were quantities of cold storage
peonies offered and, while many were
sold, many were to be had at the close
of the Saturday's business. Boses, on
account of replantings, decreased in
supply. Long-stemmed stock moved
well and even shorts sold better than
usual. Sweet peas generally sold well,
but lavender was hard to move. Lilies
are moving well. Some (Lilium candi-
dum blooms are coming from outdoors,
but they are being sold cheaply. The
first outdoor phloxes were in the mar-
ket last week. Carnations are coming
in satisfactorily, which is attributed to
the cool weather that has prevailed.
They have been selling well. Eambler
rose sprays have been in good demand,
but the local supply is somewhat lim-
ited as yet.

Various Notes.

Edwin A. Seidewitz, monarch of the
local lodge, is attending the convention
of the Mystic Order Veiled Prophets of
the Enchanted Eealm, which is being
held in Detroit, Mich.

The excessive rainfall of last week
put almost a complete stop to out-
door planting, many places being cov-
ered with water at times. The K. Vin-
cent, Jr., & Sons Co. reports some dam-
age to its White Marsh dahlia farm.
The plants were beaten down by the
rain and in some instances whole rows
of plants were washed out. The com-
pany reports a good spring trade.

George M. Cook has discontinued at-
tending the markets, having cleared
his entire stock of bedding plants.

Patrick Doyle, of Westminster, Md.,
and I. Edsnosky, of Philadelphia, were
in 'town last week. W. F. E.

Lancaster, Pa. — A bench of pure
white begonias is a sight that attracts
many visitors to the establishment of
J. P. Siebold. It is presumed to be a
sport of B. magnifica and appeared two
years ago. So much praise has been
given the variety that Mr. Siebold plans
to put it on the market in a short time.
Mr. Siebold for many years has taken
special interest in begonias and the
bench of the new white has been Mrs.
Siebold 's special pride, her care of it
being no less solicitous than that of
her husband.

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 Beview 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 iDuy,
and each article the best in the special
field of its adaptation.

FIVE POUNDS OF FEESSXTBE.

We are building a new greenhouse
and should like to get your advice in
regard to heating it. The house will be
32x170, running north and south. It
will have thirty-six inches of glass in
the sides, with two and one-half feet of
concrete wall in the sides and ends.
The gables will be of glass and will
be exposed. The roof pitch will be
26*^ degrees. The house will contain
four benches. The temperature desired
is 50 degrees. The lowest outside tem-
perature is about 5 degrees below zero.
The steam pressure will be five pounds.
Please state how many 1^-inch pipes
will be required to heat this house. If
one flow pipe is used, what size should
it bef If two are used, what should
be their size? W. H. K. — Pa.

With five pounds of pressure, the
house can be heated by using one 2%-
inch or two 2-inch overhead flows, and
ten 1%-inch returns. In case overhead
or wall flows are not desired, we would
start the coils at the boiler end of the
house and use six 1^-inch pipes upon
each wall, with the bottom pipe in each
arranged to answer as a return for the
drip water, if it is sufficiently above
the water level to drain quickly; other-
wise an additional pipe should be pro-
vided as a return pipe for each coil.

In case bottom heat is desired for the
benches, we would advise the use of
an overhead flow pipe, which would fa-
cilitate the distribution of the returns.

BETTEB USE OVEBHEAD FLOWS.

Will you give me some advice about
the piping of my greenhouse, which is
30x100? The height to the gutters is
six feet; to the ridge, sixteen feet. To
heat this house I have a 25-horsepower
Kewanee horizontal tubular boiler,
which stands under the greenhouse.
The top of the boiler is level with the
greenhouse floor. The firebox is in the
shed; so the boiler extends fourteen
feet under the greenhouse. There are

WHEN YOU BUY-QET A KROESCHELL

'THE BOILER OF UNEQUALED FUEL ECONOMY'

BUY DIRECT- FACTORY TO USER PRICES

The Kroeschell

is making the most
wonderful creenhouse
heating record in the
world. Florists who
have used other makes
are constantly giving
the Kroeschell the
highest praise.

18,468,880 SQ. ft.
of glass was eauipped
with the Kroeschell
Boiler during the past
five years.

The Kroeschell

is used by hundreds
of Florists' Review
readers and mighty is
their praise. The year
of 1915 brought an
enormous number of
new customers who
saw our boilers in
operation at other
places. We attribute
the large sales of this
season to the good
work the Kroeschell
Boiler is doing every-
where.

With our policy—" the customers' interest first"— perfection of construction
—factory to user prices— honest and "true blue" boiler ratings— you simply
cannot lose.

READ WHAT THE USERS SAY:

A Heating Record at 62^ Below Zero

Has the Kroeschall 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 a. m. 52° below zero. This was a good test of the heating capacity
of a KroeaolieU. Public Park Board, Winnipeg. Man.

READ WHAT THE USERS SAY:

The Kroeschell Is Better than Cast Iron

In 1911 1 purchased a No. 1 Kroeschell Boiler for my uptown greenhouses. At
my other range we had a cast iron sectional boiler. In two Tears 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, 6 Kroeschell Boiler.

The Florists' Review

JDNB 22. 1916.

four benches in the house. I intend to
put two 2-ineh pipes — that is, one flow
and one return — under each bench.
This will make, in all, eight lines of
2-inch pipes.

I want the expansion tank to be
placed in the upper story of the boiler
shed, which is about fourteen feet
above the main return. I want a
night temperature of about 50 de-
grees. The outside temperature never
drops below zero. The outlet of the
boiler is 4-inch, but I would reduce the
main flow about eight feet from the
boiler. Please let me know what you
think of my plan. C. E, M. — Ore.

Although nothing is said about glass
in the walls, from the fact that they
are six feet in height it would seem
that there must be at least three feet
of glass in one wall and preferably in
each side wall, as well as probably in
one end below the level of the plate or
gutter.

The statement regarding the outside
temperature is also rather indefinite. It
is stated that it never drops below
zero. If it goes as low as zero three
or four times each year, it will be ad-
visable to provide for a zero tempera-
ture, while if 10 degrees above zero is
the usual minimum temperature, con-
siderably less piping will answer. Even
with an outside temperature of 10 de-
grees above zero, we would not care
to risk the house with less than ten
2-inch pipes, and for zero twelve should
be used. This will make it possible to
place two pipes on each side wall of
the house. In case there is glass in
the walls, an additional return should
be provided for each three feet of
glass.

While the arrangement of pipes sug-
gested may be used to good advantage,
we would prefer to run a 2%-inch flow
pipe upon each plate and another five
or six feet below the ridge, with seven
to nine 2-inch returns. Of these, two
might be upon each wall, or under the
side benches, and the others under the
middle benches. If it is preferred to
use 2-inch pipe, we would place the
flows on the plates and overhead, and
eonnect two returns to each flow. Run
the flow pipes downhill and connect
the expansion tank with the highest
part of the system.

MILWAUSEE.

Tlie Market.

The weather was exceptionally wet
last week. The downfall of rain was
continuous, retarding outdoor work en-
tirely and enforcing idleness when there
was plenty of work to do. The weather
did not affect the supply of stock to
any appreciable extent, and the cut of
both roses and carnations was more
than equal to the demand. Carnations
are exceptionally fine at this time and
the prices are somewhat low. The sup-
ply is not great enough to cause either
bargain sales or a glut of stock. Eoses
are of unusually good quality and are
having a good sale. Shorter stock, of
course, is in the greatest demand, but
long, fancy stock is moving well.

Sweet peas are deteriorating. This is
especially noticeable in the length of
stem, which is shortening and hindering
sales to a great extent. Valley is scarce
and the quality is only medium. It is
hard to supply the demand with first-
class stock and, considering the June
weddings, this works quite a hardship.

Greens are becoming more plentiful
and are in fine shape. Adiantum is ex-
ceptionally!?' fine and in great demand.
Business in general has been good and
the late spring has helped the sale of
stock tremendously. Quite a few or-
chids are being used and some fine
stock is to be had every day.

Various Notes.

Graduation exercises at the Milwau-
kee Downer College brought several
days of strenuous work to the florists.
A large number of flowers were used
and corsages were purchased by the
score.

Eobert Baerman, who was injured in
an automobile accident June 10 while
returning from a dance, is reported to
have fully recovered.

June 6 saw another visit of the stork
to the home of Mr. and Mrs. Kichard
Lietz. This is the fifth time the stork
has appeared. This time it was a bounc-
ing baby boy.

JUNB 22, 1916.

rOET WAYNE, IND.

The Market.

Business -was exceedingly lively last
week on account of the numerous wed-
dings and commencement exercises. Fu-
neral work also was plentiful last week
and utilized a good quantity of stock.
Stock of all kinds is plentiful, but there
has been no oversupply, as the demand
is fully equal to the receipts. There is
a fair supply of American Beauties and
the demand is better for these than it
has been for some time. Other roses
are abundant, especially Ophelia, Sun-
burst, Ward, Shawyer and the Killar-
neys. The supply of Eussell and Kais-
erin is not so large. Cecile Brunner,
George Elger and Sweetheart roses are
in good demand for corsage work, and
these varieties are moderately plentiful.
Carnations are excessively plentiful, but
of good quality on account of the cool
weather. The demand for them is not
extra good. Peonies are in large sup-
ply and may be said to dominate the
market at present. Many of these are
used in decorations for church and
home weddings. Syringa, which has
been used extensively in decorative
work, is about gone. Orchids and val-
ley are meeting with a fine call for wed-
ding work and are equal to the de-
mand. Prices are good. Sweet peas
are plentiful and the Spencers meet
with a good demand. Easter lilies are
in good supply. Snapdragons are al-
most gone. The supply of gladioli is
increasing. Many outdoor perennials
are coming into bloom. Candidum
lilies are appearing in the market, as
well as larkspurs. Irises are favorites
at present. Greens are in fair supply,
and experienced a good demand.

Your customers buy potted plants. Often
they wither and die and you are blamed
for the failure. It's simply because plant
food is lacking. Your customers don't
want fertilizers with offensive odors. They
need Odorless Fertilo that does not mar
the fragrance of the flowers. Just the material
for Lawns. Flowers. Shrubs and Small Gardens.
You can sell several cans of Odorless Fertilo
to each customer who buys potted plants and
several bags to those with gardens. Make them
more successful and they will become flower
enthusiasts.

VKRTILO is nature's pure plant food and com-
bines all the essential elements required by
plant life: Ammonia. Phosphoric Acid, Bone.
Phosphate of Lime and Potash. Makes the
necessary Humus for enriching the soil and is
also an excellent Insecticide.
FERTILO is odorless, will not get hard and
lumpy. Put up in handy containers in 1 and 6-lb.
sizes, and in 10 and 80-lb. bags. The 1-lb. pack-
age will fertilize 10 gallons of eartb for potted
plants or 60 sq, ft. of surface. Retails for 25c,
Full and simple directions printed on each
package.

Florists, truckers and landscape gardeners
recommend Odorless Fertilo.

Send us Ac in stamps to cover pottage and we will send
you free sample of the lib. package, together with full
particulars, and quote you our libeial terms to florists.

CINCINNATI.

The Market.

The supply of stock is heavy, while
business is good only in spurts. The
only real demand we have now is that
occasioned by weddings and funeral
work. Shipping business, however, is
good.

Eoses are plentiful and the supply of
carnations is large. A good cut of
gladioli is coming into the market.
Easter lilies continue plentiful. Lily
of the valley and orchids are meeting
with a strong demand. The first Shasta
daisies of the season came in last week.
Larkspurs may be had. Other offerings
include irises, sweet peas, callas, water
lilies and coreopsis. Greens of all kinds
are plentiful.

Various Notes.

Gustavo Adrian, Jr., and Miss Cora
Pherson, who was associated with the
late William Murphy for several years,
stole a march on their friends. June 17
they were secretly married by Kev.
Gervaise Eoughton and left for a two
months' honeymoon at the cottage of
Gustavo Adrian, Sr., at the Chenaux
islands.

C. E. Critchell has been getting some
excellent gladioli and irises from the
Hoffmeister Floral Co., at Lick Run.

L. H. Kyrk received the first Shasta
daisies of the season from George
Klotter.

In spite of the fact that the dull
season is already upon us, the business
of the Wm. Murphy Co. is holding up
nicely.

A night lettergram from Mr. and
Mrs. Mayhall states that they arrived
safely at Hotel McAlpin, New York
city, after a sea voyage from Wash-
ington.

Some of the local members of the
S. A. F. have endorsed Harry Beatty,
of Oil City, Pa., for the unexpired term
of the late "William Kasting, whose
sudden demise was a great shock to his
friends in this city.

Becent visitors were Charles A. Moss,
of Spartanburg, S. C; Harry Treadway,
of Dayton, O.; Joseph Molck, of Jefler-
sonville, Ind.; Samuel Seligman, repre-
senting Wertheimer Bros., of New York.

The Market.

Peonies are on the wane. There has
been an enormous cut of choice blooms
this season. Few growers are putting
any in storage, anticipating a light de-
mand when the blooming period is over.
Valley and sweet peas are in strong de-
mand and are scarce. Easter lilies are
slow sellers during the peony season,
as are greenhouse-grown America and
Mrs. Francis King gladioli.

Various Notes.

The news of the sudden death of
William F. Kasting, of Buffalo, was
received here with many expressions
of sorrow. He was well known and well
liked in Cleveland. Herbert Bate, presi-
dent of the Florists' Club; John Kirch-
ner, Adam Graham, Herman Hart and
Fred Brown attended the funeral in
Buffalo.

Much interest is being shown by the
florists and private gardeners in the
flower show to be held in conjunction
with the Chamber of Industry Exposi-
tion, to be staged in eight monster tents
in Edgewater park, September 2 to 9.
M. A. Vinson, who so ably carried last
fall's flower show to a success, is at
the head of the exposition. The sum
of $500 has been set aside for prizes
in the flower show tent.

The Florists' Club's picnic will be
held at Willough Beach park July 19.
This is the report of the committee,
Frank Eitzenthaler, "Doc" Cook and
Charles Graham.

The fall flower show, primarily held
in order that private gardeners may
again compete for the Corrigan $500
cup, probably will be staged in the new
ballroom of the Hollenden hotel. A
few other classes will be arranged, of
which announcement will be made later.

THE SEED TRADE CONVENTION.

(Continued from page 56.)

planted in the south, will in one
year revert to the slow maturings char-
acteriatics of southern corn. Strictly
dependable, northern grown seed corn
from acclimated varieties is of the
greatest importance to north'v^estern
planters. To secure such stock seed, it
must be gathered before freezing
weather and thoroughly cured in frost-
proof storage during winter. The vital-
ity of the corn is best maintained when
cured in well ventilated rooms with only
sufficient artificial heat to keep it from
freezing.

* ' Yields and quality of corn have been
greatly improved during recent years by
the state experiment stations and seed
corn breeders, but it has been demon-
strated that the increase in yield does
not follow in the Second, third or any
subsequent generation, that this work
of hybridizing must be pursued each
year.

"The problem which confronts the
seedsman today, applied not only to corn
but to many other crops, is to educate
the farmer to the realization of the fact
that it is economy for him to purchase
frequently, if not annually, a new sup-
ply of seed, which has been carefully
bred for seed purposes. By so doing he
can increase his yield to an extent that
the entire cost of seed will be returned
to him many fold by the increased yield
and quality of his crop."

State Competition.

W. D. Weedy, manager of the John
A, Salzer Seed Co., La Crosse, Wis., was
on the program for a review of state
competition in the form of sales assist-
ance rendered farmers' associations.

"That the American Seed Trade As-
sociation is anxious to promote or co-
operate in any movement that will de-
velop and improve agriculture through
the use of batter seed is beyond ques-
tion," said Mr. Weedy, "but to render
state assistance, as many states are do-
ing, to farmers' associations in market-
ing the resultant crop seeds, seems dis-
criminating. §ome of our states appro-
priate large sums for the printing and
mailing of a "List of Seeds" (cata-
logue is the term the seedsmen would
use), giving the names, addresses, kind
of seeds and quantity for sale, thus
bringing into the market without cost,
or at trifling expense to the farmer,
seeds in direct competition with the
institutions that have large overhead
expense, heavy expenditure in cata-
logues and huge amounts in taxes.

"With the federal government dis-
tributing seeds free and many states
organizing selling departments in farm-
ers' associations, it would almost seem

that principle and right were being sac-
rificed for political gain."

Fair Play AdvertislngJlPk

Frank B. White, an old friend, now
director of the Agricultural Publishers'
Association, talked for fair play in
business. "There are four sides to a
square deal — your side, my side, the
public and the law — and when any one
of these sides is not observed, you
have a triangular proposition and it is
not square. It is fair play to give full
measure, good quality, a clean, honest
service. You expect it from others.
Others expect it from you. You are
entitled to a just reward for your labor
— a fair, legitimate profit sufficient to
warrant you in giving quality, quantity
and service. When you measure up to
that standard in the conduct of your
business, you have a right to talk about
advertising and emphasize it in the
strongest possible terms, keeping in
mind the fact that performance is bet-
ter than promise and that the best' ad-
vertisement is the thing itself. A satis-
fied customer in any community is a
living witness and exponent of your
fair play dealing. A dissatisfied cus-
tomer scatters poisoA and some of it is
liable to touch where it will do you
greatest damage.

"May I presume upon your interest
and tell you just a few things that seem
to me essential in seed advertising suc-
cess? I believe that this is a strategic
time for seedsmen to face this question
squarely, and if you will come together
and formulate your own standards of
practice and publish to the world what
your association stands for as regards
quality and square dealing, you will be
doing yourselves and your customers a
great service. I mean, gentlemen, legis-
late for yourselves. Don't let the poli-
ticians in states and the national gov-
ernment run your business. Stand
squarely for something as an associa-
tion and insist that your members shall
live up to -your platform, and you will
be taking a long stride forward.

"You have allowed politicians to tell
you what you must do altogether too
long. A body of business men such as
compose this association, united upon a
principle and a plan, would wield an in-
fluence in legislative halls that would
make your rights respected because you
would be right yourselves, if you live
up to the proper standards of practice.
And then, gentlemen, you would have
something to advertise that people
would believe in, and the seedsman who
could not subscribe to your standards
would find himself doing business un-
der a handicap."

Trade Exhibits.

The A. B. Morse Co., of St. Joseph,
Mich., designers, illustrators and print-
ers of nursery and seed catalogues, had
a wonderfully complete exhibit of its
work, both in colors and in black and
white. A. B. Morse, the head of the
company, had charge of the exhibit.

An interesting exhibit was that of
the Torsion Balance Co., .Jersey City.
N. J. The article being demonstrated
was the grain test scale. Daniel Tay-
lor, Chicago representative, was in
charge.

A large and varied display that at-
tracted much attention was that of the
Brown Bag Filling Machine Co., of
Fitchburg, Mass.

KEEPING COUNT OF
THE CARNATION CUT

It is hoped that this article, written hy a carnation grower, will he
serviceable in several ways, furnishing timely suggestions, stimulating dis-
cussion on the subject, and possibly inducing some other growers to keep
more systematic records of their crops than heretofore, if such data are
seen to be fully worth the effort.

HAT are the average
profits of the carnation
grower? This question
has been asked many
times by persons who are
thinking of specializing in
carnations, and has usu-
ally been answered by a
good or bad guess, too fre-
quently bad, giving an
exaggerated idea of the returns. I
thought it would be interesting, there-
fore, to give accurate figures with
reference to a range of glass in which
carnations are produced as an exclusive
crop, for the dollars and cents that are
in them. Accordingly I have compiled,
from the daily records, a table which
shows at a glance the number of blooms
produced per plant, the amount of
bench space occupied and the money re-
ceived from the sale of the flowers dur-
ing the whole growing season under
glass.

(Juttings as Well as Cut Flowers.

It shquld be understood that these
same plants produced, besides the
blooms, about 50,000 rooted cuttings,
which were planted in the field, and
which added to the revenue about $500
for plants sold, besides giving a good
supply to refill the benches for the fol-
lowing year. It should be noted, also.

that in compiling the table, all flowers
were counted, both firsts and seconds.
In studying the table, it will be
noticed that the figures for the entire
twelve months of the year are supplied.
However, the nine months which form
the regular carnation season, the most
profitable part of the carnation man's
year, are treated separately in the totals
and averages in the last four lines of
the table. Thus special emphasis is
placed on the fact that June, July and
August are the "off" months, the
months of poor prices. The fact is al-
ready well known, \iMt columns of
figures have a way of their own of
making a fact stand out prominently.

Returns Per Plant.

The carnation crops under considera-
tion were grown in a range of modern
iron-frame greenhouses, situated in
Massachusetts, and the flowers were
sold in the Boston market, at whole-
sale only. A study of the figures will
show that the average returns were
33% cents per plant or 66 cents per
square foot of bench space. In this
connection it is important to bear in
mind that the year of 1914-15 was not
quite up to the standard, as business
was poor, especially during the early
part of the season. I find that the total
of the previous year's sales was about

twelve per cent higher. The carnations
grown were of first-class commercial
quality and compared favorably in
price with the best that were brought
to the market.

The chief purpose of this article, of
course, is to present a clear, precise
statement of the gross wholesale re-
turns from the writer's range of glass, ,
without giving any particular considera-
tion to the expense side of the account.
It might be well, however, just to men-
tion the fact that the total cost of con-
ducting the range -is about $5,000 to
$6,000 per year. Providing the pro-
prietor also devotes his time to the
business, it would require about four
men, and $300 or $400 for extra help,
to run the place, allowing nine hours
for a day's work.

The Best Sellers.

As to what varieties sell best, it is
advisable for the grower to inquire
about this at the market where he in-
tends to offer his flowers. In Boston
the light pinks and the whites meet
with the best demand. Among the
light pinks. Pink Delight ranks first
and is easily the best selling carnation
in the Boston market, especially during
the winter months and until Memorial
day. Enchantress Supreme runs a close
second until near Memorial day, and

after that date it easily outclasses all
others. This variety is more and more
acceptable in the Boston market and
any of the newer introductions must be
top-notchers to replace it, as it is away
up in yield and has few defects. For
near-by sales it is preferred even now to
Pink Delight, as it has the requisite
size and a color which does not fade
in the brightest sun or with age. As a
long-distance shipper, however, Enchant-
ress Supreme is not so good as Pink
Delight and the wholesale florists pre-
fer the latter for this reason.

Two Good Whites.

In white I have White Enchantress
and Matchless, both good varieties.
White Enchantress leads in yield per
plant and purity of color, but Match-
less, though not so pure in color, is in
great demand on account of its good
shipping qualities and I am increasing
my planting of it threefold for another
year.

As to Philadelphia, while it is pleas-
ing in color and satisfactory in yield
per plant, its keeping qualities are so
inferior that I could only get one-half
price for it and had difficulty in sell-
ing it at all.

There is room for a good scarlet.
Beacon has seen its best days. Mrs.
C. W. Ward is in great demand; hence
I am planting about 2,500 of it and
discarding Eosette and Gorgeous. Be-
nora is one of the best carnations ever
introduced, both in plant and flower.
At my place it has improved, and is
better now than ever.

For a beginner, it is advisable to
stick to the old and well tried varieties
and let the other fellow try the new
ones, except in cases where the new
variety can be seen growing. A new
one can be judged a good deal more
correctly while growing in the bench
than on the exhibition table.

Official Trial Grounds.

Here let me suggest that it might
be a good idea if the American Car-
nation Society would appoint a grower
in each carnation-growing district and
have him test the new varieties, keep-
ing a record of the yield per plant, the
keeping qualities and everything else
which is of vital importance in a car-
nation. He could judge the varieties
by points, according to the scale
adopted by the Carnation Society. A
new carnation, so judged and approved,
would then be tried by the ordinary
grower with more confidence than if
he had merely seen it on the exhibition
table. Such a method of carnation
testing would not harm the introducers
of really worth-while kinds and I think
they would gladly furnish, say, fifty
plants to each district grower for trial
and judging. If any introducer were un-
willing to subject his new sorts to such
a trial, he would certainly have no
reason to expect other growers to try
them. The introducer ought to have
enough confidence in his own novelties
to place them willingly in the care of a
disinterested expert, who would grow
them in comparison with other new
ones and with the standard varieties,
and judge them accordingly. P. J.

PLANTING SWEET PEAS INDOORS.

We have our sweet peas in beds five
feet wide, running north and south,,
three rows to a bed. The rows run
lengthwise of the bed. Would the
sweet peas obtain more light and sun-
shine if planted crosswise! Would a
good mulch of stable manure be bene-
ficial? G. F. C— Tenn.

You would get a little more sun by
running the plants the narrow way of
the house. It would also make the sup-
porting and care of the plants much
easier. It would be still better, how-
ever, if the three rows were reduced
to two. The best sweet peas under
glass are produced in rows running
lengthwise of the houses and five or
six feet apart. Lettuces, violets, or

legume. It is a known fact that all
leguminous plants are, to a certain ex-
tent, infested with bacteria tubercles on
their roots. It has been proved by prac-
tical experiments that the growth of
such plants can be greatly improved by
inoculation of the seed with this bac-
teria previous to planting. Then would
it not be reasonable to suppose that
sweet peas could be improved upon by
this same process of inoculation of the
seed before planting? If any reader
of The Eeview has made any experi-
ments with sweet peas along this line
I would be glad to hear from him.

I have tried inoculation on both sweet
peas and garden peas, but have failed
to notice any improvement as compared
with those not treated. The views of

rid of them? At present we are using
plenty of water on the foliage, applied
with a garden hose. E. L. — Ark.

Green aphis are sometimes extremely
destructive to sweet peas and they
must be controlled at once, or they will
soon ruin your plants. Spray with a
kerosene emulsion, a tobacco soap or
any of the various reliable remedies
for aphis. A nicotine spray is as ef-
fective as anything. You will find
proportion directions on all cans pur-
chased. Ivory soap, at the rate of one
pound dissolved in boiling water, and
cold water added to make five gallons of
liquid, is good and inexpensive. Spray
with cold water only, and when the
foliage is perfectly dry. C, W.

THE MORRISTOWN SUMMER SHOW.

The summer show of the Morristown
Garden Club, given in conjunction with
the Morris County Gardeners' and Flo-
rists' Society, was held at the residence
of Mrs. Chas. Bradley, at Convent, N. J.,
June 23. The powers which control the
weather certainly were kind to us, as
we had a beautiful day sandwiched in
between weeks of as wretched weather
as it is possible to have. The bad
weather militated somewhat against the
quality of the blooms, although a cred-
itable show was staged.

The Morris County Gardeners' and
Florists' Society simply acted in an
advisory capacity to the members of the
Morristown Garden Club,- who staged
their own exhibits.

Koses naturally predominated at the
exhibition. There were no cash prizes.
Outside of the silver cups and medals,
the awards were ribbons: First prize,
blue; second prize, green; third prize,
white. The system of judging for the
sweepstakes cup was one that may or
may not have been used at other exhibi-
tions, but it worked out well. Every
exhibitor was awarded six points on a
first prize; four points on a second
prize; two points on a third prize.
After the class judging was over the
total number of points secured by each
exhibitor was aggregated, and the one
gaining the highest number of points
was awarded the sweepstakes silver
cup. The fortunate winner was Eobert
Tyson, superintendent for Mrs. H.
Twombly. Mr. Tyson secured first for
the collection of roses, arranged for ef-
fect, in four feet of space. This prize
was a silver cup. Also first for a col-
lection of fruits, grown indoors and out-
doors. Mr. Tyson won several firsts for
roses. Another large winner of prizes
was David Francis, superintendent for
Mrs. C. Bradley, on whose grounds the
show was held. Mr. Francis had a clean
sweep in the sweet pea classes. Mr.
Francis also won prizes in the rose

classes. Ernest Wild, superintendent of
the Harkness estate-, at Madison, was a
large exhibitor. Mr. Wild was awarded
a silver cup for twelve varieties, three
flowers of each, of hybrid teas. The
irises exhibited by Mr. Wild were the
best in the entire exhibition.

Charles Barbanes, superintendent for
Dudley Olcott, of' Morristown, N. J.,
showed some handsome roses. He se-
cured first for twelve hybrid perpetuals,
six sprays of rambler roses and twelve
sprays of ramble??iros6s.

Franks Breare, superintendent for J.
B. Dickson, Morristown, N. J., and
Percy Whitney, superintendent for Mrs.
G. Kissell, Morristown, N. J., were
prominent in the hardy flower section.

as well as Robert Francis, superintend-
ent for Mrs. W. Thome, Morristown,
N. J. Delphiniums were splendidly
shown by these exhibitors.

The class for sweet williams was pop-
ular, bringing seventeen entries. The
first honors fell to the Harkness estate.
A class that created a great deal of in-
terest was for a table decoration, open
only to members of the Morristown
Garden Club.

Maurice Gray, superintendent for
Mrs. J. I. Waterbury, Morristown, N, J.,
showed a collection of Spanish irises

and some of the finest roses in the ex-
hibition.

The trade was represented by an ex-
hibit of water lilies from William
Tricker, of Arlington, N. J., who had
an ideal place to arrange his plants in
the fountain in the main court. Charles
H. Totty, of Madison, had a large ex-
hibit of roses, sweet williams and del-
phinium seedlings. Bobbink & Atkins,
of Rutherford, N. J., had a perennial
exhibit and some seventy-five or more
varieties of hardy roses. George C.
Woolson, of Hastings, N, Y., showed a
large collection of alpine and bog
plants.

The attendance was good and the
money derived from the show is to be
turned over to the fund for prepared-
ness. C. H. Totty.

FRED C. WEBER'S STORE.

In this issue of The Review I present
a view of the establishment of Fred C.
Weber, at St. iLouis, Mo. I may have
seen stores of this kind that were more
elaborately decorated and with more ex-
pensive furnishings, but I have never
seen one that was more pleasing to the
eye and more up-to-date than Mr.
Weber's charming store. The view is
of the exterior of the store and ad-
joining conservatory. The store is
situated at 4326 and 4328 Olive street,
opposite the St. George Episcopal
church and surrounded by the most
fashionable residences of the city. It
is 20x52 feet. The floor is Italian
mosaic work; the counters are of enam-
eled white tiling, with a border of fes-
tooned tile just below the top. The fix-
tures of the store are finished in white,
and French plate mirrors are used
freely. The icebox is of massive con-
struction. To the west of the store is
the show house.

It certainly is a model store in every
respect and the style of decoration re-
flects great credit on the taste of Mr.
Weber. Mr. Weber has been in busi-
ness in St. Louis since 1873 and at the
present location since 1896. He is one
of the most successful business men in
the city. J. J. B.

DUTCH PACKING CHARGES.

In the Dutch bulb situation there is
one phase more interesting than any
other, and that is the packing charges
we importers are compelled to pay.

A good many of us have protested
against this practice, for the reason that
it is contrary to our American way of
doing business. For instance, we do
not expect our flower pot manufacturer
to charge us extra for his boxes or bar-
rels, plus packing material; we do not
expect our lily bulb man to charge for
his boxes; our grocer for his paper bags;
the department store for packing our
goods in boxes large and small.

Why, then, do we pay the Dutch bulb
growers for their cheaply made boxes?
Of course, they expect us to live up to
their terms, even when these terms dif-
fer from our business laws and cus-
toms. But is that a sufficient reason
why we should subject ourselves to the
terms, because they expect it?

Consider the lumber and labor re-
quired to make these cases. Is not 75
cents to $1.10 for a single case pretty
steep? The latter price is for a case
of tulij)s and includes the paper bags,
but I have never been able to figure
more than 72 cents for the $1.10 case,
everything included. Moreover, we are
not charged in accordance with the for-
eign exchange.

The horticultural traders in England
some months ago protested strongly
against this practice, after being in-
formed of the enforcement of this rule
by the Dutch Bulb Growers' Associa-
tion. The English government, how-
ever, cut the argument short by placing
an embargo on bulbs, roots, etc.

What is the American florist doing
to further his rights in this respect?
Some of us have protested to our deal-
ers, but we have not protested as a
body. Eemember, the Hollanders de-
pend on the United States more than
on any other country to take most of
their bulbs in this year of war.

NEW PEONY SOCIETY FORMED.

The summer meeting of the Minne-
sota Horticultural Society was held in
the new gymnasium building of the
Minnesota Agricultural College, at
Minneapolis. I have attended the na-
tional peony society exhibits in Chi-
cago and Boston, but I never saw any-
thing equal to the splendid show of
peonies at this meeting. In Minnesota
there are large peony gardens and in
the Twin Cities there are scores of
amateurs who spare no expense to pro-
cure the best. The east would be sur-
prised at the splendid displays at these
summer meetings. I saw one flower for
which the owner paid $40; others for
which large sums were paid.

It is not generally known that the
Brands, of Faribault, Minn., are among
the world's most famous propagators.
For sixteen years they have been at
work on an immense scale, growing

•seedlings by the thousands. They are
careful and exacting in their selections,
throwing away perhaps 15,000 while
they select only one from the mass.
They have at least six reds which stand
up with anything on earth. Prince of
Darkness is nearly black. Mary Brand,
in comparison with all the reds gath-
ered from all sources, takes the lead.
It is of the same color as the famous
Karl Eosenfield, but is much larger.

I thought I could grow peonies in
Nebraska. One of mine named Therese
was seven inches across, but the same
kind on exhibition here was nine inches
in diameter. It was a glorified cabbage
head. ^ ^

There was a marvelous display of
strawberries. Charles Harrison, super-
intendent of the state farm, produced
40,000 seedlings and then reduced
them to 200. He then called in a com-
mittee of experts and selected three of
the best. No. 3 is a marvel. It is about
the size of a crab apple and literally

covers the ground and paints it red. It
is large, bright-colored, a good shipper
and a luscious .berry, and beats any-
thing I have ever seen. If it does as
well elsewhere as here, it will lead all
others.

A call was issued June 24 for a meet
ing at the West hotel, for the purpose
of organizing a peony and iris society
for the northwest states and the prov
inees of Canada. Why was this?
Haven't we a national society? We
have one in name only, and it seems
to hug the shore. Every inducement
has been put forth to have the society
come to the Twin Cities, where there is
more interest and enthusiasm for these
glorious flowers than in the east and
where 1,000 people gather for the sum-
mer meetings, but the invitation has
been disregarded. Another thing, the
exhibitions come nearly a month earlier
in the east than in this northern region.
Here they are on the verge of a great
want, where billions of these flowers are
needed to glorify the great northwest.

A goodly number of people gathered
and the Northwest Peony and Iris So-
ciety was organized with great en-
thusiasm. I predict that it will be a
decided success. Minneapolis is waking
up, thousands of new homes are being
adorned and the call for hardy plants
is encouraging. C. S. Harrison.

PEONIES, ANCIENT AND MODERN.

[A paper by B. F. Barr, of Lancaster, Pa.,
read before the Lancaster County Florists' Club,
June 15, 1016.]

Everyone loves the peony. They who
can recall the enthusiasm of their
grandmothers over the old garden
"pineys" may well imagine the rap-
tures of those old people if they were
brought into contact with the splendid
peonies <4f today. The old-fashioned
"piney, " Paionia ofiicinalis, a native of
southern Europe, is rich in color, but of
small size, fleeting duration and offensive
odor. The early history of this peony
extends back many centuries, blended
with a haze of superstition, allegory
and myth.

In China, it is said, the tree peony has
been the chief pride and glory for
1,400 years, prized by the emperors for
the beauty and fragrance of the flowers.
For more than 1,000 years, it is said, a
record of the new introductions, their
characters, qualities and parentage have
been kept in China.

The Japanese, too, have been largely
instrumental in producing our finest va-
rieties of tree peonies, of which a dozen
or more choice varieties, in all colors,
are now offered for sale. The blooms are

large and keep well, either on the plant
or when cut and placed in water. They
should be grown more extensively.
They can be propagated from soft-wood
cuttings, but, because of their slow
growth, they are usually grafted. Great
care must be taken that shoots do not
develop from the roots when grafted
plants are used, or the variety will be
lost and a wild variety will take its
place.

Of Aristocratic French Origin.

The modern peony, or Pseonia Sinen-
sis, has been cultivated in Europe but
a little more than a half century. It is
descended from P. albiflora, a native of
Siberia.

The modern peony is an aristocrat
whose birth was among the nobility of
France, for it was under the care of
M. Jacques, gardener for King Louis
Philippe, that some of the first of the
fine varieties of today were originated.
Comte de Cussy, Guerin and others, all
enthusiastic amateurs, secured the best
varieties from Japan and China about
the middle of the last century, and
from these began to raise seedlings
that have given us some of our present
magnificent varieties.

■ rr-r", "^i ;- —

JUNB 29, 1916.

The Florists^ Review

13

M. Jacques' collection was inherited
by his nephew, M. Victor Verdier, who
raised a number of fine seedlings.
Comte de Cussy's collection was inher-
ited by M. Calot and later passed into
the hands of M. Crousse. The Calot-
Crousse varieties are noted for their
uniformly high quality. Another 'en-
thusiastic French amateur was M.
Mechin, whose grandson, M. A. Dessert,
succeeds him and is considered one of
the greatest living authorities on
peonies.

Engllsli and American Raisers.

England also has given us many new
varieties in the last twenty years. The
Kelways have been the largest English
introducers. Unfortunately, in many
instances the varieties sent us under
English names were duplicates of the
French varieties.

In America three amateurs have been
especially prominent in the production
of new peonies. They are John Eich-
ardson, of Dorchester, Mass.; H. A.
Terry, of Crescent, la., and George H.
Hollis, of South Weymouth, Mass.

In the propagation of peonies or the
raising of seedlings there is no road to
quick results. It takes four to six
years to get blooms from seed, and less
than one per cent of the seedlings have
enough merit to justify their introduc-
tion as new varieties. It takes many
more years to increase the stock by the
slow process of division sufficiently to
be able to offer it to the trade. The
plants may be divided into three every
three or four years. Is it any wonder,
then, that good new varieties are listed
at $5 to $25 each! New varieties are
introduced mostly by amateurs. The
professional florist or nurseryman can
scarcely afford to wait so long for re-
sults.

The Confusion in Names.

It is to be regretted that in the great
collection of peonies, contributed from
nearly all over the world, containing
nearly 3,000 names, there are less than
300 distinct varieties, the others all be-
ing duplicate or inferior varieties, that
cannot be traced to any known origin.

The nomenclature committee, work-
ing under the American Peony Society,
was formed for the purpose of trying to
straighten out this mess, and they are
succeeding admirably. For instance,
Pseonia edulis superba, that splendid
variety, nearly always in bloom for Me-
morial day, was masquerading under
about thirty different names. It is a
beautiful, fragrant variety, almost 90
years old, and one of the most reliable
in spite of the jokes it played on us.

For twenty-three successive Junes I
have studied and lived among peonies,
but 100 years would be far too short
to know them as I would wish. A
glance through the various catalogues
of today would reveal the fact that
varieties introduced 100 or more
years ago are still among the rarest
and highest priced sorts, due to their
slow multiplication and strong demand.

A Few Cultural Hints.

Peonies may be planted any time
from August until late in the fall, or
in early spring. September is the best
time, however, as they will make a root
growth before winter sets in and will
bloom the following spring. Not until
the third year after they are planted
will they produce perfect flowers. They

FBANE A. WINDLER.

THE name of Windier is, perhaps, the best known in the trade in St. Louis, for
many years being associated with each branch of the business — retail, whole-
sale, growing. There's nothing goes on at St. Louis without a Windier in it.
The Windlers all are workers, no less for the general good than for their individual
interests. So when it was decided to hold a big spring show in St. Louis in 1917
some of the heaviest jobs were put on the Windlers. Frank A. Windier was slated
for the most important of all, that of chairman of publicity, for what availeth
the best of shows if the public cometh not? But the name of Windier is one that
gets results in St. Louis.

require less care after planting than any
other flower. They will grow and thrive
for years without being disturbed. I
have seen them grow without any care
whatever, but they will abundantly re-
pay good care and nourishment. They
should be planted three and one-half to
four feet apart, in good garden soil,
and should be set so that the eyes or
crown will be from two to three inches
below the surface. Mulch with manure
in the fall.

There was a time when the peony
was only a common "piney. " There
are common ones today, but the better
varieties of peonies are more in de-
mand every year. They have no com-
petition. No other flower can take
their place. They may be used in ex-
cellent taste among shrubbery or among
other hardy perennials, as single clumps
or large beds, in the lawn bordering
drives or in broad landscape effects.
They thrive everywhere, whether in full
sun or partial shade. As a cut flower
nothing is more suitable for weddings,
church decorations and social functions,
in peony season. Without the peony we

would be at a great loss on Memorial
day, just as we would be without chrys-
anthemums at Thanksgiving.

Gardenias.

The last part of June or first part of
July is a good time to plant gardenias
in benches for winter flowering. This
is one of the most uncertain crops we
have and even those classed as experts
in the culture of gardenias have their
failures. Last winter some of the larg-
est specialists lost practically all their
early buds and received next to nothing
from their houses until late in the win-
ter. On the other hand, I have in mind
one or two smaller growers, compara-
tively new in the gardenia growing
business, who had fine midwinter cuts.
Gardenias may be grown in pots,
benches or solid beds. The first two
methods are recommended to small
growers. Grown in pots or raised
benches, the roots are under better con-
trol and there is more probability of
preventing the yellows and bud droop-

Use a coarse compost consisting of
three parts of fibrous loam, one part
well decayed and dried cow manure and
one part leaves, only partly decayed;
also some coarse sand and broken char-
coal. A depth of five inches is ample
and the rows may be twenty-four inches
apart, allowing fifteen to eighteen
inches between the plants in the rows.
When planted, merely water the soil
around each plant for some time. There
is no need to soak the whole bench
until the roots are running actively
through it. If hot water pipes run
under the benches to give a little bot-
tom heat in winter, all the better, but
heating pipes under the benches are
not a necessity. Gardenias need warm
treatment. At this season 65 to 70 de-
grees as a minimum is suitable. The
spray nozzle must be used to keep
mealy bug in check or the plants will
soon be smothered with it.

Cinerarias.

Sow cineraria seeds now if plants are
wanted for early flowering. The large-
flowered type comes in earlier than the
stellata forms, but the latter, while they
bloom a little later and grow taller, are
more decorative. Cinerarias will do
vastly better in coldframes until at
least the middle of October, and if suit-
able protection is afforded there is no
trouble in holding them in such quar-
ters until Christmas.

Pruning Flowering Shrubs.

With few exceptions the flowering
shrubs should be pruned as soon as they
have finished blooming. At this time any
dead, weak or straggling shoots can
be removed and the plants given a more
presentable appearance. If pruning is
done now, the shrubs still will have
time to make new wood for flowering
next season. Among shrubs which can
be pruned now are lilacs, loniceras.

spiraeas, weigelas, viburnums, forsythias,
halesias, philadelphus and exochordas.
While speaking of pruning, it is well
to note that all faded flowers should be
removed from lilacs, rhododendrons,
azaleas and kalmias. If they are left
on, the plants will be much weakened.

Propagating Flowering Shrubs.

While many of the flowering shrubs
can be easily propagated from ripened
wood, the majority of them are easily
increased at this season from cuttings
of half-ripened wood. Short cuttings
with two or three eyes should be used.
If only a small number are needed they
can go in flats or square pans of sandy
soil. Be sure that the cuttings are
dipped in cold water that has not been

allowed to stand for any considerabls
time. It does not take much to dis-
color the foliage on cuttings in midsum-
mer. When inserted, whether directly
in the frame or in flats, the cuttings
will need frequent light syringings, an.l
they must be kept tolerably close. All
ventilation may be removed by 3 o 'clock
in the afternoon. As the cuttings
callous, air a little more freely, and still
further increase it as they root. Be
sure that they are always shaded from
the sun while rooting. There is no good
reason why country florists should not
propagate both deciduous shrubs and
evergreens, provided they have suitable
coldframes and land on which to plant
out the stock when it has rooted.

Cultivation.

Whether we have frequent rains or
continued dry weather, the hoe or culti-
vator must be kept constantly at work.
Eains bake the surface of the soil and
plants make poor growth if the soil is
not stirred as soon as it can be worked.
On the other hand, in periods of drought
it is really astonishing how long plants
will go without water if the soil is re-
peatedly stirred and a good dust mulch
held about the plants. Every plant in
the garden will respond to persistent
tickling of the soil about it; therefore
ply the cultivator persistently.

SCALE ON FEBNS.

Will you tell me what to do with my
ferns, a frond of which I am enclos-
ing? You will see that the sample
frond is covered with insects. These
are so numerous that they kill the
ferns. I know of no other remedy ex-
cept to dip the plants in some sort of
solution. Please let' me know what to
do. F. G. E. — Ohio.

The fern frond was infested with the
scale which is so common on Boston
ferns and other varieties of nephrol-
epis. ^11 fronds that are in that con-
dition would better be cut off and
burned. Then the plants should be
dipped in either a solution of tobacco
extract or nicotine. The solution of
tobacco extract may be used in the pro-
portion of one part to fifty of water;
the nicotine, one part to 400 of water.

ADIANTUM FOE CUTTING.

What kind of adiantum is most suit-
able for cutting? What size of plants
should one bench now to cut from this
fall and winter? Should the soil be
rich and light? Is Bailey's cyclopedia
worth while to a florist?

T. K.— Kan.

Adiantum cuneatum, or a variety of
that fern, is more largely grown for
cutting than any other species. Some
growers prefer the original type of A.

cuneatum, while others prefer A. Boen-
beckii, Or the newer kind, A. Califor-
nicum. If your market requires larger
and stiffer fronds than those produced
by the foregoing, we would suggest A.-
Groweanum or A. hybridum, both of
which are good for cutting.

Strong plants from 3-inch pots are
the best for planting, and these should
be benched as soon as possible. A good
rose soil will answer the purpose, but
do not use fresh manure in the compost.
Some spent manure from an old hotbed
or some dry cow manure is a good fer-
tilizer.

Bailey's Standard Cyclopedia of Hor-
ticulture is the latest American refer-
ence work of its class, and is well worth
while to anyone desiring correct infor-
mation. W. H. T.

STICKY SUBSTANCE ON FEENS.

Can you give me any information
regarding Boston ferns or other ferns
that have or produce a transparent
sticky substance on the fronds? Some-
times this substance drops to the floor.
Is it caused by some insect? One of
my ferns was covered with scale, and
although I treated it with a nicotine
extract the substance became heavier.
Is there a remedy for it? I am enclos-
ing one of the diseased fronds. Is cas-
tor oil a good fertilizer for ferns?

frond in question does not show any in-

POINSETTIAS IN THE SOUTH.

The weather in the south is becoming
a trifle too warm for the successful
propagation of poinsettias from cut-
tings, and from now on the best method
of propagating poinsettias is to layer
them as in propagating rubber plants.
Each shoot whejj^ layered likely will re-
quire a stake to prevent it from break-
ing. In making the layers do not make
them longer than two or three inches,

as they grow considerably before they
are rooted and are hard to handle on
being potted off. The moss on the lay-
ers must be kept constantly wet while
the layers are rooting. The most crit-
ical period of this method of propaga-
tion is when the layers are severed from
the parent plants and potted. They re-
quire a good, shady position for a few
days, plenty of moisture on the foliage
and protection from drafts. Given '
these conditions, they will establish
themselves in a few days, when they
may be gradually inured to the fuU
sunlight. It takes from seventeen to
twenty-five days for the roots to show
through the moss. L.

It seems that the trouble is in the
soil. The specimens submitted had a
sufficient root system, but apparently
did not receive sufficient food to give
them satisfactory growth.

Asparagus plumosus and Sprengeri
require rich soil, and the light soil in
which these specimens have been grown
should be liberally treated with cow
manure. Try working in about one part
of well rotted manure to four parts of
soil when making the new beds for this
purpose. After the plants are estab-
lished give a top-dressing of manure
about an inch deep from time to time
as needed. This, with a night tempera-
ture of 60 degrees, and sufficient water,
should produce good results.

Eotted sod is the best foundation for

Terre Haute, Ind. — The retail busi-
ness conducted under the name of
Rosery Flower Shop has been in-
corporated at $5,000. Edward Reiss,
Robert Nitsche and Kenwood Dragton
are the directors.

Union City, Ind.— Albert A. O'Brien,
who recently underwent a second opera-
tion for appendicitis, which proved suc-
cessful, is on the rapid road to com-
plete recovery. The operations were
performed in a Greenville, O., hospital.

Elkhart, Ind. — William Currier has
opened a store in the Orpheum Theater
building. He will carry a full line of
plants, cut flowers and seeds. Mr. Cur-
rier and his brother are plaintiffs in a
suit for $50,000 damages against their
former creditors, who placed their flo-
rists' business in the hands of receivers,
although it was solvent at the time.

Huntington, Ind. — George Pastor has
won a $400 verdict in Circuit court
against T. Adam Hipskind, a con-
tractor, and the Huntington Light &
Fuel Co. Mr. Pastor is proprietor of a
greenhouse at Frederick and Lafon-
taine streets, and sued the contracting
company, alleging that while excavat-
ing a sewer on Lafontaine street heavy
blasts ruptured a gas main belonging
to the fuel company. The escaping gas
filled the greenhouse and ruined his
plants and flowers. He asked judgment
for $2,000.

Princeton, Ind. — After two years of
profitable business in the hands of re-
ceivers, the Princeton Gardens have
been acquired by a new concern, of
which O. M. Gilbert is a member. The
business will be continued under the
old name.

Bluffton, Ind. — The ' ' trade at home ' '
idea is being boosted here. A large
dry goods company with seventeen
stores in the state, which formerly pur-
chased stock for its floral departments
from Chicago growers, now is placing
its orders with the Wiecking Co., a
local grower. As the Wiecking Co. fur-
nishes stock to sixteen stores in six-
teen other Indiana cities, it is not ex-
actly clear what is meant by the * ' trade
at home" idea at Bluffton.

Crown Point, Ind. — The Lord & Burn-
ham Co., Chicago, has nearly completed
a fine steel-frame house, 60x200, at the
establishment of Alois Frey, the home
of the Rainbow freesia. The house will
contain twenty monolithic concrete
benches built by Mead & Suydam, East
Orange, N. J., on the Wilson-Hoyt pat-
ents. As an evidence of what can be
done on these benches Mr. Frey points
to the carnations in the older houses,
Mrs. Ward, Matchless and Enchantress
being extremely good for this time of
year. The cut now being sent to the
Chicago market consists of carnations,
second-growth snapdragons and mignon-
ette.

The Florists' Review

Jdne 29, 1916.

CINCINNATI. .

The Market.

*>allas, Tex. — Plans for holding pre-
_mct flower shows as a climax to the
^eautification contest held here were
made at a recent meeting of the
Women's League. Prizes offered are
of sufficient value to make the contes-
tants work hard and, perhaps, go to the
florists for advice and stock.

Lindsay, Okla. — Lindsay has a popu-
lation of 1,500 and surely ought to sup-
port one florist, providing he starts in
a small way, does most of the work
himself and increases his investment
only as the growing business warrants
it. At any rate, that is the opinion of
Mrs. K. C. Greene, a successful ama-
teur flower grower. Accordingly, Mrs.
Greene is starting the Greene Floral Co.

EnoxviUe, Tenn. — At a recent meet-
ing of the Knoxville Florists' Society,
July 6 was chosen as the date of the
annual picnic, which will be held at
Elkmont. A committee was appointed
to make arrangements for the fall
chrysanthemum show. A resolution
that all the flower stores in the city
be closed Sundays was adopted. Only
emergency orders will be given at- *
tention on that day.

Greenwood, Miss. — Although only in
the florists' business since last fall, Mr.
and Mrs. J. Bealle have been so satis-
fled with returns that they are trebling
their greenhouse capacity and in the
future will operate under the title of
Greenwood Floral Co.

Fort Smith, Ark. — There's something
novel about the night-blooming cereus —
it will attract the attention of public
and press where other specimens of the
floricultural world fail. Now, anything
that is curious may be profitably turned
to advertising account, and that is pre-
cisely what George Rye did with his
splendid cereus bush. When the bush
was about to bloom, Mr. Rye adver-
tised in the papers, inviting one and all
to drop around after dark and examine
the rare blooms. Sure enough, on the
evening advertised the buds opened.
They started at 6:30 p. m. and were
wide open at 10:30 p. m. The attend-
ance was gratifying and Mr. Rye un-
doubtedly was paid for his trouble.
Mr. Rye is "Some Florist." The
cereus is four years old and five feet
tall. It carried eleven blooms all at
one time.

1 MOTT-LA' MUSINGS \

^iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii^

Prof. David Lumsden, of the depart-
ment of floriculture, Cornell, commented
on the increase in the public demand
for landscape effects and groupings.

G. M. Cosh, of Ithaca, N. Y., says his
store has become famous since The Re-
view styled it the Flatiron building,
bringing it from comparative obscurity
to the most prominent position in town.
He fears an increase in rent, but if
business continues to increase as of late
the strain will not be so hard to bear.

The United States Cut Flower Co.,
of Elmira, N. Y., is passing through a
satisfactory season, according to Rich-
ard King.

John B. Rudy, of Elmira, speaks high-
ly of Carnation Alice, his record show-
ing that the output of 300 plants
equaled that of 1,200 Enchantress. The
blooms are of good size and color.

H. N. Hoffman, our well known con-
frere, recently was reelected mayor of

Elmira.

The Thomas Floral Co., of Owego,
N. Y., believes that the planting of
hardy perennials to a great extent will
supersede that of bedding stock. This
is quite noticeable this season with this
concern. Albert Thomas feels encour-
aged by his first attempt to grow roses,
the yield of blooms from 1,000 1-year-
old grafted Killarneys, from August 1
to June 1, in actual figures being 16,504.

Now, June 6, he is drying off the plants
and intends to replant them in a larger
house.

Barney Myers, manager of the W. J.
Palmer & Son establishment at Lancas-
ter, N. Y., observed that a considerable
revenue is derived from the sale of
American Beauty plants which for-
merly were discarded, but were found,
by accident, to flourish when planted
outdoors. Considerable retail business
has developed locally, necessitating the
production 'of an assortment of stock.
Mark Palmer, one of the younger gen-
eration, is an active assistant.

The William Scott Co., Cold Spring,
N. Y., reports that a big business was
done in plants during the week of Me-
morial day. William Webber, who has
made up bouquets for the Scott estab-
lishment for more than a quarter of a
century, noted a more limited call and
attributed the decrease to an abundance
of blooms outdoors.

Supt. W. Fitzwilliams and his assist-
ant, Charles H. Keitsch, of Humboldt
park, Buffalo, were engaged the whole
of Menjorial day escorting crowds
through the fine tulip beds. A plan is
under way for a competitive exhibition
by the various park greenhouses, to be
given in the fall in one Of the city
buildings. Undoubtedly the trade will
benefit by it indirectly. W. M.

Last week 's business was fair. The
demand was steady and took up a sub-
stantial part of the offerings. Prices
as a whole were fair.

Roses continue in good supply and
the better class of blooms have a ready
sale. Some fine ramblers may still be
had. Gladioli are satisfactory. Easter
lily receipts are sufficient for present
needs. Orchids, valley and sweet peas
are selling well. Coreopsis, cornflowers
and larkspurs meet with a fair demand.
Other offerings include Shasta daisies,
water lilies, carnations and hydrangeas.
Greens are in good supply.

Various Notes.

Mr. and Mrs. Frank Kyrk are the
proud parents of a baby girl, born June
21.

Thomas Windram has been sending
some excellent Shasta daisies and hardy
hydrangeas to C. E. Critchell.

L. H. Kyrk had an excellent demand
for roses last week.

J. A. Peterson & Sons have been cut-
ting some good outdoor sweet peas and
Dorothy Perkins roses.

Recent visitors were Warren Huckle-
berry, of North Vernon, Ind., and
Joseph Hill, of Richmond, Ind.

C. E. Critchell is in receipt of a note
from Mr. and Mrs. J. J. Lampert, of
Xenia, O., advising him that they are
spending the summer in California.

CROMWELL, CONN.

The field day at Cromwell Gardens,
June 21, brought together a representa-
tive number of members of the National
Association of Gardeners and the Amer-
ican Association of Park Superintend-
ents from New York and New England
points.

The visitors were met by representa-
tives of A. N. Pierson, Inc., as the
trains arrived at Hartford and Middle-
town, and were escorted to the hotel at
Middletown, where they were received
by Wallace R. Pierson and entertained
at luncheon, after which the party pro-
ceeded to Cromwell.

Arriving at Cromwell Gardens, the
guests were greeted by A. N. Pierson,
who welcomed them to the establish-
ment of the company of which he is the
head, after which the chiefs of the
different departments escorted the vis-
itors about the gardens and through
the large greenhouse ranges.

Looking down upon the gardens on
the approach from the rail roadway,
the eye beheld a magnificent sight in
the acres of plantings, which were a
mass of gorgeous color. The rose gar-
den was the center of attraction, al-
though the visitors found much of in-
terest in the different outdoor depart-
ments, including the rock garden in
course of construction.

The mammoth greenhouses proved a
revelation to some of the visiting gar-
deners, where the roses, carnations and
chrysanthemum plants, in untold quan-
tities, were found in excellent condi-
tion, as were also the many other vari-
eties of flowering and foliage plants in
which this company specializes.

The company maintains its own dairy,
private water system and box factory,
and after the inspection of the estab-
lishment the opinion was generally ex-

pressed that Cromwell Gardens may ap-
propriately be classed as a " plant grow-
ing industry." All t^e details for the
entertainment of the party were care-
fully planned — even the usual afternoon
rain was not omitted — and when the
visitors entered the automobiles to
make their train connections for home,
they were of one accord that the day
had been full of interest and instruc-
tion.

PITTSBUBaH.

The Market.

Market conditions last week were
most satisfactory, nearly everything
selling upon arrival at good prices. The
demand for roses was never better and
the supply for this season of theyear
is much better than heretofore. White
Killarney roses are scarce, with a few
Kaiserin that take their place and
bring good prices. Beauties are arriv-
ing in fine condition and meeting with
a good demand. Valley is one of the
scarcest articles in the market. Good
valley is selling as high as $6 per hun-
dred. Lilies are moving out every day.
Carnations are still in good supply. and
of good quality. Orchids are selling
well.

Gladioli are arriving from the south
in good condition and find a ready
market. There still is some good out-
door Spanish iris to be had. It is mov-
ing at fair prices. English iris now is
making its appearance. This week will
finish the late peonies.

Various Notes.

W. A. Clarke, treasurer of the Pitts-
burgh Cut Flower Co., is sending cards
to his friends in the city. The last re-
port was from the Grand Canyon, Ariz.
Mrs. Clarke is accompanying Mr.
Clarke on the trip to the coast.

John Harris, of Harris Bros., on Mar-
ket street, and Michael Kronis, the
Union depot florist, are visiting friends
in Chicago. A christening and lamb
roast will keep them in the west for a
week or ten days.

Harry Hamm, of 7025 Hamilton ave-
nue, is one of the volunteers who enlist-
ed for service in Mexico. He has our
best wishes and prayers for a safe
return.

The funeral of a prominent citizen
last week created quite a lot of work
for our north side florists, the E. C.
Ludwig Floral Co., the Gustavo Ludwig
Floral Co. and Walter Faulk.

Miss Nellie M. King, on Kelly street,
is adding an auto truck to her delivery
equipment.

The John Bader Co., B. L. Elliott, pro-
prietor, reports that this has been one
of the best plant seasons it ever had.

George Burke, superintendent of the
Pittsburgh park system, and John
Jones, foreman, have executed some
wonderful plantings at Schenley and
Highland parks. Weather conditions
have been favorable for the growing of
these plants and lawns, which have
never been more beautiful than at
present. When in that direction why
not call on William Falconer, who is
superintendent for the Allegheny Cem-
etery Co.t You are welcome at any
time.

Over at Homewood we have William
Allen, who has charge of the Home-
wood Cemetery Co. Here, too, the
plantings are beautiful and everything
in the finest shape.

The north side parks, under the super-
vision of James Moore, are showing the
finest carpet bedding and plantings that
have ever been attempted. Mr. Moore
certainly is to be congratulated on the
neat appearance of the north side
system.

The Pittsburgh Cut Flower Co. is cut-
ting some good cattleyas of the gigas
type.

Mrs. E. A. Williams furnished the ar-
tistic decorations for a garden party
last week at the Allegheny Country
Club. Dorothy Perkins roses, wistarias
and 100 Japanese lanterns added to the
natural charm of the scene.

Mr, and Mrs. O. J. Parker have gone
to their cottage at Prouts Neck, Me.,
where they will remain until late
autumn.

July 1 the branch shop of the Zieger
Co., on North Highland avenue, will be
discontinued and the supplies removed
to the main house, on Baum and Whit-
field streets.

An outing for the benefit of a war-
relief fund was held last week at Castle
Shannon, on the estate of Henry

Meuschke, treasurer of the Ludwig
Floral Co.

Edward E. Ludwig, the younger son
of Mr. and Mrs. Ernest C. Ludwig, has
returned from Ithaca, N. Y., where he
graduated last week from the horti-
cultural department of Cornell Univer-
sity. He was accompanied by his
brother, De Forest W. Ludwig, who at-
tended the commencement exercises.
The latter also is a Cornell graduate.

Mr. and Mrs. Walter A. Faulk have
sent out cards announcing the arrival
of a little daughter tTune 13, the first
child in the family. She has been chris-
tened Ruth Estelle.

John Greenen and Frank SmoUer
are members of the national guard,
which left last week for mobilization
at Mount Gretna, preparatory for duty
on the Mexican border. Mr. Greenen
is a decorator for Randolph & McClem-
ents and Mr. Smoller is with Walter
A. Faulk.

David Eraser, who has charge of
H. C. Frick's Pittsburgh estate, and of
the New York grounds, has engaged
John Martin as head gardener for the
latter place. W. A. C.

Salina, Kan.— The Edward Tatro
greenhouses and growing fields, offered
at public auction June 22 by the Middle

200. Mr. Leighton took possession
June 26.

Cleveland, O.— After thirteen years
of experience. Jack Keck has struck out
for himself as the Elite Florist, at 8309
Cedar avenue. In the words of Mr.
Keck: "Another hat in the ring —
mine, of course — and I'm out for all
that's fair and square in the florists'
business." Mr. Keck is possessed of a
vim that should make for bigger
business.

Saddle Blver, N. J. — John George
Esler and Mrs. Esler have announced
the marriage of their daughter, Helen
Janet, to Mark McKinley Inskeep,
Saturday, June 24, 1916.

Bloomington, IlL — The partnership of

The Florists^ Review

Jdnb 29, 1016.

NEW YOBE.

Tlie Iilarket.

The weather at last is seasonable, and
the market in general is as good as that
of a year ago. There are numerous wed-
dings this week and each of the leading
florists seems to have his share.

Conditions were satisfactory June 24
in that the surplus of nearly everything
cleared. One retail florist had an order
of half a million .flowers for distribu-
tion Sunday morning. The supply of
roses is not excessive, any surplus be-
ing readily absorbed at $10 per thou-
sand. Apart from American Beauties,
Hadley and Prima Donna, few roses
sold above $5 per hundred. Ophelia con-
tinues as popular as ever. Beauties are
not of good quality, although there are
rare exceptions. There are not many
Hadley — fortunate have been the men
who grow them and the wholesalers who
helped to make them popular.

There still are many peonies, the best
selling at 50 to 75 cents per dozen. The
wet weather and storms of the early
part of last week played havoc among
them. The cold storage stock now is
appearing. There is enough of it to
last well into July. Carnations had an
uplift June 24, but it was not an ex-
tended one. The best could be had at
$1.50 per hundred. The popular quota-
tion was $10 to $12.50 per thousand.
Anything aged or sleepy was disposed
of to the peddlers at $2.50 to $5 per
thousand. Shipments are expected to
decrease rapidly. The top price for or-
chids seems to be 35 cents then down
to 10 cents. "Valley continues to be
the wonder of the market. The best
brought $6 per hundred and some
claimed even $8. The short-stemmed
stock sold as low as $2. iLongiflorum
lilies do not advance; $4 per hundred is
the top price, and short ones go as low
as $2. This surely must be the bottom
again for many a month to come.

Sweet peas will soon have the center
of the stage. Some grand stock is ar-
riving daily, but the short-stemmed
blooms do not sell at a price high
enough to pay for the picking and ship-
ping. Immense quantities of mountain
laurel are offered; also branches of va-
rious ramblers. Outdoor rosea are now
at their best and field daisies are un-
limited. Large quantities of sweet Wil-
liam and feverfew were sold June 24
and helped wonderfully with the half-
million order, which was. of no small
moment to an overburdened market.
The usual variety of stocks, calendulas,
coreopsis, forget-me-nots, etc., com-
pletes the list of seasonable offerings.

Various Notes.

Secretary Bunyard, of the American
Sweet Pea Society, is busy with the
preliminary arrangements for the an-
nual meeting and exhibition of the so-
ciety at Bar Harbor. The New York
contingent will go by boat and a large
gathering of the florists and gardeners
from this section is anticipated.

The plant auctions closed June 23.
A great quantity of bedding plants,
palms and evergreens was disposed of.

Frank Traendly and family will spend
the summer at Kowayton, Conn.

They call Joseph Fenrich the ' ' Ophelia
King." Daily shipments of longiflorum
lilies from Miesem continue. The Flo-
rists* Club's outing to Barnegat bay

will be under the management of Cap-
tain Fenrich.

July 6 is the date of the Greek- Amer-
ican outing. The New York Florists'
Club has passed its annual outing this
season, much to the regret of the young
folks.

Jack Gunther and family are summer-
ing at Midland Beach, Staten island.

William Cahill, with E. J. Irwin, has
completed a successful trip in the state.

Joseph Trepel, of Brooklyn, secured
that order for half a million flowers, to
be made into bouquets for a street sale
for charity. Jack Trepel was busy two
days purchasing the stock and it re-
quired many autos to carry the accumu-
lations to headquarters. Mrs. Trepel,
from whom $2,000 worth of diamonds
was stolen last year, has secured a judg-
ment against the Bathing Co. for the
full amount of her loss.

June 17 the stork left a boy at the
home of Barney Jacobs, manager of the
Walter Siebrecht Co. ^

Mr. and Mrs. J. K. Allen will enjoy
a holiday at Ocean Grove, N. J., in
July.

J. D. Cockcroft and son, of North-
port, N. Y., were in the city July 24.
Mr. Cockcroft is shipping eight varie-
ties of carnations weekly to Goldstein
& Futterman.

September 22 R. J. Irwin and Wal-
lace Pierson start on their annual moose
hunting trip to the north woods of New
Brunswick.

The Kervan Co. has never had .so
busy a season as this one. Shipments
continue good.

William Kessler's store now is com-
plete and there are no better facilities
on the famous wholesale street. The
novelty window is of daily interest.

The Geo. W. Crawbuck Co. is already
suffering from lack of room.

William E. White is with the Greater
New York Co., on Livingston street,
Brooklyn.

Samuel Woodrow and Miss Cadeux
leave for Narragansett Pier July 1 to
open their branch store at the famous
resort. J. Austin Shaw.

TABBYTOWN, N. Y.

The June exhibition of roses, sweet
peas and strawberries, given annually
by the Tarrytown Horticultural Society,
was held in the Y. M. C. A. building at
Tarrytown, June 20. Because of the
backwardness of the season and the in-
clement weather during the week pre-
ceding the show, the entries were not
quite up to the usual standard. The
exhibits of roses and strawberries w^re
fine, but sweet peas, owing to the heavy
rains, fell short of their record of the
previous year's show.

The principal exhibitors and winners
were: The F. R. Pierson Co., of Tarry-
town; Thomas Lee, gardener for Mrs.
Carl Victor; P. W. Popp, gardener for
Mrs. H. Darlington; Abel Weeks^ gar-
dener for Mrs. S. Hermann; W. Jamie-
son, gardener for E. Berolzheimer ;
George Mcintosh, gardener for Dr. C. C.
Brace; Howard Nichols, gardener for
Mrs. J. B. Trevor; John Orr, gardener
for F. S. Wheeler; John Woodcock, gar-
dener for Gen. E. A. McAlpin; W.
Woodger, gardener foT John D. Rocke-
feller; James Currie, gardener for
Henry Sidenberg; Henry Fuchs, gar-
dener for Mrs. E. Schwartz; Frank
Heid, gardener for Col. Jacob Ruppert.

The judges were George Middleton,
gardener for William Rockefeller;
ArthuiV Griffin, superintendent for Sam-
uel Untermyer; Henry Kastberg, super-
intendent for the Misses Masters.

Foxboro, Mass. — M. B. Faxon is re-
establishing his seed, plant and nurs-
ery business here, specializing on pansy
seed as in the old days.

Tewksbury, Mass. — Patten & Co. have
placed an order with P. A. Gavin, Bos-
ton representative of the King Con-
struction Co., for the erection of an
iron-frame house 42x200.

Natick, Mass. — James Wheeler has
placed an order for the materials for a
semi-iron house 35x200 feet, with P. A.
Gavin, the Boston representative of
the King Construction Co., North Tona-
wanda. N. Y.

Newburjrport, Mass. — A schooner —
the kind that goes down to the sea —
recently was cast ashore at Salisbury
beach in a badly damaged condition.
A salvage sale was held on the beach,
the wreck going at a low price to J. J.
Comley. Mr. Comley, being a florist and
not a skipper, at the time, did not know
what he was going to do with his
unique purchase, except that he in-
tended to unload the sixty cords of
high-grade hard wood in the hold of the
vessel.

Wellesley, Mass. — At the estate of
Walter Hunnewell a number of im-
provements are being made, the most
extensive being the replacing of the old
greenhouses by a range of modern
houses to be erected by the King Con-
struction Co., of North Tonawanda, N.
Y. The houses are to be of the latest
type of steel construction, having
curved glass eaves, ornamental gutters
at the spring line and side vents below
the gutters. The range is to consist of
palm house 25x60 feet, orchid house
25x60 feet, carnation house 25x60 feet,
plant house 25x60 feet and grapery 25x
60 feet, each house being divided into
two compartments. The range of houses
is to be novel in that instead of the
usual way of having the growing houses
valley into the palm house, they are to
be connected with the palm house with
small passages and the palm house in
turn will be connected with the potting
shed by means of a passage 12x16 feet,
which will be used for propagating. T.
D. Hatfield, the superintendent of the
estate, is well known throughout the
country, having been in charge of this
place for nearly thirty years.

The Florists' Review

19

PKOVIDENOE, R. I.

The Market.

Commencement and graduation exer-
cises afforded the florists one of the
busiest weeks in a long time. The
backwardness of the season, with the
long period of chilly, rainy weather, re-
tarded the blooming of outdoor roses so
that greenhouse productions sold well.
Prices were slightly above normal and
stock of all kinds was in heavy demand
and moved well.

Notwithstanding the unfavorable
weather conditions, the growers have
kept steadily at their work of planting
out and many of them are well ad-
vanced. The majority are having their
houses renovated preparatory to re-
benching.

Horticultural Society Show.

After a two weeks' postponement,
the annual rose and strawberry show of
the Rhode Island Horticultural Society
was held in the dance room of the Nar-
ragansett hotel, June 22 and 23. The
display, which was satisfactory, in-

Mews from

ro^

London, England.— There is to be
another conference of the horticultural
trades. Opinion seems' to be clearly
defined that the trade urge the govern-
ment to make absolute its prohibition
of bulb and plant imports, including
cut flowers; also the opinion seems
general that the seed trade is having
profitable business but that greenhouse
and nursery growers can not carry on
under the prices that have prevailed.

London, England. — A discussion that
gets nowhere has been running in one
of the British trade papers, on the
relative merits of British and Amer-
ican carnations, but T. A. Weston
points out one specially interesting
fact: "The real British commercial
growers are busy raising seedlings of
their own, and, moreover, prefer to
keep them to themselves. This is where
the dissimilarity of the British and
American commercial growers is most
apparent. All the American growers
are cut flower merchants, and they
breed for productiveness, or try to, and
having, as they think, made a hit, they
do their best to induce every other
grower to plant it. The British com-
mercial grower, if he raises a good
thing, does not proclaim it from the
housetops. He grows it, not for propa-
gation, but for cut flowers, and no one
but the salesman knows something dif-
ferent is on the board."

Haarlem, Holland. — The war has
made no difference with the monthly
meetings of theuGener^ Bulb Growers'
Society, which, through its floi-al com-
mittee, has been appraising novelties at
the usual rate. Colored freesias from
seeds and early Darwin tulips for forc-
ing have been the principal offerings of
February, March and April.

Belfast, Ireland.— This is a statement
by Hugh Dickson, Ltd.: "Although
the conditions at present existing in the
rose trade, as a direct result of the
war, are not such as to encourage the
distribution of valuable novelties, we
have decided to issue in their ordinary
course the varieties which we had ar-
ranged to distribute this year. Grow-
ing the immense number of seedlings
which we do (over 100,000), the testing
and selecting of the best for distribu-
tion is a matter of some time; and
when selected, arrangements have to
be made at least three years ahead, so
that sufficient stock of the varieties
may be available to supply all wants
of the trade for the succeeding two
years. Consequently the holding back
of a year's introductions would be a
serious dislocation of the elaborate
preparations made by us.'» The set of
five novelties to be disseminated in-
cludes the variety Cleveland, named by
popular vote at the Cleveland flower
show, U. 8. A., November, 1915.

Charles E. Shackley.

Charles E. Shackley, for more than
forty years a resident of iLewiston and
Auburn, Me., died at his Auburn home
on the night of June 12. Mr. Shackley
wds a great sufferer during the last
three months and the end was not un-
expected. Some time ago he suffered a
paralytic shock and never fully- re-
covered from the effects of it.

The deceased, who was in his sixty-
eighth year, conducted a flourishing
florists' business at Auburn and was
well known to New England tradesmen.
He is survived by his wife and two
brothers.

R. E. Simons.

R. E. Simons, superintendent of the
Metairie Ridge Nursery Co. and pro-
prietor of a flower store at 2026 Maga-
zine street. New Orleans, died June 18,
after an illness of two years. The
deceased was born at Cologne, Germany,
August 11, 1858. .Shortly afterward his
parents came to America, and settled
in New Orleans in 1868. Mr. Simons
was superintendent of the Metairie
Ridge Nursery Co. for eight years, while*
Mrs. Simons operated the flower store
on Magazine street, founded by the
couple many years ago. The surviving
relatives are Mrs. Simons, four daugh-
ters and two sisters.

Horace S. Wiley.

Horace S. Wiley, one of the most prom-
inent nurserymen of central New York,
died suddenly June 19 at his home in
Cayuga, N. Y., at the age of 65 years.
The deceased, who was the head of the
firm of H. S. Wiley & Son, Cayuga,
took a conspicuous part in the affairs of
the Western New York Horticultural
Society. He frequently served as judge
of fruit exhibits at the state fairs and
at one time was a member of the State
Nursery Commission. He is survived by
his wife and five children, two of
whom, Fred T. and Scott F., reside at
Cayuga.

George Shoemaker.

George Shoemaker, for the last ten
years an employee of S. C. Briggs, of
Glenmount, Md., died last week in the
George Washington University hospital,
following an attack of stomach trouble.
Mr. Shoemaker was 29 years of age.
He is survived by a wife and two cMl-
dren. C. Li. L.

USINOEE'S UTTERANCES.

A pretty display of hydrangeas and
carnations was noticed in the windows
of T. N. Malbranc, at Johnstown, Pa.
Mr. Malbrane, in commenting on busi-
ness conditions during the last ten
years, said that the business of 1916
so far has surpassed that of any pre-
vious year.

An "acre of peonies" was on display
at Meyer Bros, two stores at Altoona,
Pa. It surely was top-notch stock,

A, A. Whitbred, of Altoona, has re-
ceived a shipment of palms from across
the water, which has been in transit
for a month. "It just costs 100 per
cent to get them over," was his reply
to a question on the high cost of doing
business. W. T. U.

Results bring advertising.
The Review brings resalte.

Growers of pot plants who have de-
pended on German cyclamen seed are be-
ginning to worry over the prospect, since
the usual summer deliveries of seeds are
much in doubt.

Yes, by all means hold the old cus-
tomers, for no business, not even a circus,
can exist without the repeaters; but old
customers die, even if you have pleased
them, and the business that makes no new
friends dies with them. Advertise.

Ophelia is said this season to have
paid better than any other rose in the es-
tablishments of many growers. It has
been planted much more numerously for
next season and it is not to be expected
that the extra prices of last winter are
io be realized indefinitely.

At the rate chrysanthemums from small
pots are selling it seems as though half
the greenhouses in America are being
planted for a crop of the autumn flow-
ers. The growers did well last season and
are not hesitating to use all the avail-
able space for mums this year.

A FLORIST whose business is growing
rapidly sends to every customer who pur-
chased during the previous July, August
and September a letter referring to their
previous hot-month purchase and asking
if, perchance, the remembrance is to be
repeated during the current summer.

Every little while a grower writes to
The Review to ascertain the probabilities
for profit through the use of electric or
acetylene gas light in greenhouses to ac-
celerate growth. The Review never has
heard that there was a "probability for
profit" in the method. Has any reader!

CLEABINO THE SUBPLUS.

Don't let surplus stock go to waste —

somewhere there are readers of The

Review short just the items you want

to clear. Like this:

It certainly pays to advertise siu^Ius stock In
the Classified lists in The Review. Our two lit-
tle one-time ads in the issue of June 8, offering
pelargoniums and ferns, brought us orders from
thirteen states, from Delaware to California,
and one from Canada. The orders aggregated
$326 in value. — Helnl & Weber, Terre Haute,
Ind., June 21. 1916.

Reference to the records shows that
the cost of the ads that brought $325
worth of orders was exactly $1.20, two
ads of six lines each. How else can
one sell stock at a cbst of about one-
third of one per cent?

And here's one from the south:

Please cut out our ad of ferns; The Review did
the work as usual. Two Insertions sold over
4,100 ferns; had more orders than we could fill.
— J. W. Yates, manager Oak Grove Greenhouses,
Tuskegee, Ala., June 19, 1016.

Again reference to the records shows
that the ad, changed once, actually ap-
peared three times, a total of seven-
teen lines, costing $1.70. It"* offered
stock at $4 per hundred, so the sale of
4,100 amounted to $164, making the ad-
vertising cost about one per cent.

When you hear a man complain of
the cost of advertising you can be
pretty sure he spends a good bit of
money elsewhere than in The Review.

WHJ. rally AT HOUSTON.

R. C. Kerr, vice-president of the
S. A. F., has been canvassing the pros-
pects for the attendance of southern flo-
rists at the Houston convention in Au-
gust and takes much pleasure in the re-
plies received to his letters. From El
Paso word has come from H. L. Porter
that western Texas will be strongly
represented; from Sherman H. O.
Hannah sends word that eighty per
cent of the trade in northern Texas will
be present, while from Dallas Otto
Lang writes as follows:

Regarding the prospects for attendance from
Dallas, I wish to state that you may safely ex-
pect three-fourths of all North Texas florists.
The reason is simple: It will be many years
before we will ever have another national con-
vention in the south, and especially in Texas.
Many of the florists know that the S. A. F. con-
vention is educational and therefore would like
to attend, but are not flnanoially «ble to jro to
Minneapolis, Boston and San Francisco. These
were the three last convention cities and you
will note no farther places from Texas could
have been selected. Now that it is in reach of
this hungry throng, you can look for them, as
they will be there.

Personally, I would like to see every employer
of store and greenhouse help send his best help
down. All of our employees receive two weeks'
vacation at full pay and most of them will ar-
range their vacations to attend this convention.
Since we have thirty on our payroll for the stim-
mer, it will mean several from our house alone.
We expect the other houses to do likewise and
hope this flrat of its kind, namely the S. A. F.
convention in the south, will be a grand success.

J. W. Furrow, of Guthrie, writes Mr.

Kerr that Oklahoma will be represented

and T. C. Joy, of Nashville, Tenn., is

the most enthusiastic of all, for he says,

"We expect to bring ninety per cent

of the local florists to the convention."

NEW ENGLAND QUARANTINE.

Readers of The Review located in
New England should send to the Fed-
eral Horticultural Board, Washington,
D. C, for a copy of Notice of Quaran-
tine No. 25, extending the quarantine
against the gipsy and brown-tail moths
in Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont,
Massachusetts^ Rhode Island and Con-
necticut. The regulations apply to (1)
coniferous trees, such as spruce, fir,
hemlock, pine, juniper (cedar), and ar-

bor-vitSB (white cedar), known and de-
Scribed as "Christmas trees," and
parts thereof, and decorative plants,
such as holly and laurel, known and de-
scribed as "Christmas greens or green-
ery," and (2) forest-plant products, in-
cluding logs, tan bark, posts, poles, rail-
road ties, cordwood, and lumber, and
(3) field-grown florists' stock, trees,
shrubs, vines, cuttings, and other plants
and plant products for planting or
propagation, excepting fruit pits, seeds
of fruit and ornamental trees and
shrubs, field, vegetable and flower
seeds, bedding plants, and other herba-
ceous plants and roots.

THE ALMIGHTY DOLLAR.

One of Boston's leading florists not
long ago gave up the old stand he had
occupied for many years and moved to
a less desirable one. His many friends
and the flower-buying public in general
wondered why he made the change.
Here are the facts: His old lease ex-
pired. He had been paying $23,000
annually. A clothing concern offered
$28,000 for the "corner." The florist
came up to $25,000. The owners re-
fused and held for the $28,000. The
florist refuseB and moved his quarters.
Then the clothing concern "went up in
the air." The store was vacant for a
while and was then leased for $18,000.
Moral for the real estate dealer: "Bird
in the hand, etc."

CHICAGO.

The Market.

Market conditions, considering the
time of the year, have been decidedly
good during the last week. Stock was
not overplentiful the latter part of the
week, because of the cool weather; and,
as a result, it cleared in almost every
instance, but not at high prices. The
warm weather of the last few days,
however, has served to increase the
supply, but not to a point where it has
become unwieldy.

Beauties have been selling fairly
well, as the supply is increasing. Young
Beauties are beginning to arrive on the
market, and they go far to arouse de-
mand. Killarney is quite plentiful and
still is of good color, though the flow-
el's are smaller. White Killarney is a
good seller and there is a large sup-
ply of short stock to meet the demand
for funeral flowers. Killarney Brilliant
is always a good seller in the summer
time. Russell, though, still remains the
leader, and Ophelia may be classed as
second. .Sunburst remains a popular
yellow and Milady is giving a good ac-
count of itself.

Carnations are holding on with re-
markable tenacity, but a little hot
weather will put them out of the run-
ning. There has been a large supply
of stock that is unusually good for the
last half of June and low grade flowers
therefore could only be sold to the kind
of buyers who only appear in the mar-
ket at this season. Vallev still is re-
ferred to as on the short side. There is
a fair supply of Easter lilies and they
are selling well, though at a low figure.
Cattleyas continue in small supply.
There are more good sweet peas on the
market now than there were a week
ago. The really good ones meet with
a ready sale, but there is a quantity of
inferior stock that can find no profit-

We Offer You Choice
Spencer Sweet Peas

ERE IS A LATE CROP of Spencer Sweet Peas
in several colors — much finer stock than can be
obtained from the tail-end pickings of earlier
crops. Nice, long stems, large, perfect flowers —
money-makers for you.

AMERICAN BEAUTIES

You can obtain here a steady supply of medium and long
Beauties — the cut at present is above the average, both for size

and quality.

FANCY ROSES

It pays retailers to carry all varieties in stock. So we ar-
ranged with our growers for a larger supply than usual for this
summer — roses grown specially for your summer trade — Russell
in quantity, Milady, Sunburst, Ophelia, Ward, Brilliant.

Bachelor's Buttons in Colors

Did you ever see Bachelor's Buttons in any other color than
blue? Well, we offer a good supply in two shades of pink* and
moderate quantities of other colors. They are fine; 50c to $1.50
per 100.

CARNATIONS

Common, $10.00; fancy, $15.00; oztra fancy, $20.00 per 1000

The quality of this crop of Carnations is unusually good for
this time of year — weather conditions have been favorable. Our
supply now is so heavy we can quote the lowest prices of the sea-
son— loiv prices when you consider the high quality of the stock.

PEONIES

We still are able to supply fine Peonies in all colors — stock
that is grown and handled by men who know how. It will reach
you in good shape.

VALLEY FOR THE WEDDINGS

No disappointment if you order here— we ALWAYS can supply if
we have your order a few hours before train time.

Snapdragon sells fairly well. So, too,
do southern gladioli. Pansies are near-
ly gone. There still are considerable
quantities of cold storage peonies on
the market, and a few shipments of

lardias and cornflowers are coming into
the market and are well received.

What It Cost.

In round numbers 15,000 boxes of
cut flowers were shipped out of this
market during the thirty-seven days the
drivers of the express companies were
on strike. It is interesting information,
for several reasons.

It is a coincidence that the famous
strike of 1905 also was of thirty-seven
days ' duration, but the number of boxes
handled by the wholesalers' coopera-
tive cartage service this time was near-
ly three times the number handled in
the same period, covering Memorial day
eleven years ago. Thus has the busi-
ness of the market grown.

The cost to the wholesalers, including
the sum presented to Manager Lauten-
Bchlager in appreciation of services of-
fered without charge, was nearly $2,000.
It was the arrangement that each
wholesaler who availed himself of the
cooperative service should use it for
all his shipments, the cost of the service
to be prorated; it will figure out at
about 12% cents per box.

But the most valuable feature of the
affair is the demonstration of the abil-
ity of the market to look out for itself
under most difficult circumstances. "With
shipments aggregating 15,000 boxes in
thirty-seven consecutive days, it shows
an average of over 400 boxes per day,
including Sundays and holidays, of

which there were seven; 500 boxes per
day counting only days when the mar-
ket did full time. To be able to take
up the cartage of nearly 500 boxes per
day and do it without a moment's
preparation, carrying it on indefinitely,
is a demonstration of ability to handle
business of which the market may well
be proud.

But that was only half the task; it
covers only outgoing boxes. The grow-
ers had to make special arrangements,
efforts and expense to get the stock into
the market. It probably cost them as
much extra as it did the wholesalers in
getting, shipments out.

The question now comes as to obtain-

ing the payment of the bill, or a just
part of the bill, by the express com-
panies. The companies collected their
full tariff on each shipment, although
they failed to render the full service.
If it can be shown that the Interstate
Commerce Commission included a charge
for pick-up and delivery in framing
the present tariff it would appear that
the wholesalers, at least, should have
a legitimate claim, easily verified.

AS THE LAWYERS SAY-

Time Is of the Essence of the Contract

If you can rely on receiving your cut flower supply on time — and you can if you order of Randall — you can
safely promise your customers prompt delivery. And — here's the point— prompt delivery is a cardinal element
in business success. No matter how good your quality, if you can't deliver on time» you're a flat, failure.

€tBy ordering your cut flowers of Randall, you are assured of both fresh stock of
the best quality and prompt delivery. That's why discriminatinflr florists buy here.

It was in September, 1914, that Mr.
Eonsley, who for some years had been
employed in the store of his relative,
J. L. Baske, opened a well appointed
store in the new Westminster building,
106 South Dearborn street. It was re-
ported at the time that he had leased
the premises for ten years at a term
rental of $28,000, but his liability to
the landlord in the schedule filed June
23 is only $916.66, as a new tenant was
promptly obtained. The store was
closed February 19. The liabilities in-
clude $2,184.44 due Chicago wholesale
florists and supply houses, $438.80 due
local plant growers, $546.88 due out-of-
town florists and florists' supply houses
and $3,244.82 due outside the trade.
The latter includes $1,483.40 due on fix-
tures and $500 due a brother.

The circumstance serves to show how
easy it is for a man without assets to
obtain credit, both in and outside the
trade. Mr. Ronsley is a man who makes
friends readily and his liabilities in the
trade show that he had the confidence

Will the "take the elevator upstairs
and save $10" slogan of the clothing
store work in the florists' trade t That
remains to be seen. O. J. Friedman
thinks it will, and he is trying it out
in a new venture named the Ohio Floral
Co., on the second floor at 509 South
Wabash avenue.

The handsome new home of John
Michaelsen, in Eiver Forest, was com-
pleted to the last detail June 22, when
a daughter came. There already was a
I son.

The brightest spot connected with the
wonderful new Edgewater Beach hotel
is John Mangel's new flower store, now
fully equipped and ready for business
somewhat ahead of the rest of the es-
tablishment. It is an excellent loca-
tion for outside trade as well as that
expected from patrons of the hotel, as
it is a large district of fine homes and
no flower stores near.

As a measure of the difference in
trade conditions, A. T. Pyfer says that
this spring the sales of Pyfer & Olsem
are almost double what they were in
1914, the glass area having been in-
creased to only a slight extent. The

carnations have been thrown out and
the space used for Ophelia and Mrs.
Bussell, 15,000 additional rose plants.
July 15 the firm will take over by lease
the Peter Nipper vegetable houses in
Evanston and will proceed to bench in
them 75,000 carnation plants.

Commenting on the season's business,
H, Van Gelder, president of Percy
Jones, Inc., says June has been the best
month of the year in the matter of
percentage of gain over the correspond-
ing month of last season.

Peter Eeinberg and Mrs. Eeinberg,
in a party that included Henry Kransz
and wife, left June 26 for a fortnight 's
tour of the Yellowstone. The daily
papers have been quoting Mr. Eeinberg,
speaking through the trade 's old friend,
Melville G. Holding, who now is chair-
man of the county civil service commis-
sion, as favoring setting the county's
clocks one hour ahead for the summer.

The sixth annual stockholders' meet-
ing of the Chicago Flower Growers'
Association will be held the afternoon
of July 6, at 182 North Wabash avenue.
Four directors are to be elected.

Mrs. Eusriell never has made the hit
with N. J. Wietor that it has with
some growers and, as a consequence,
6,000 plants of it, in three houses, com-
prise the 1916-17 stock of Wietor Bros.
A bench for trial has been planted with
the new Dark Eussell, sent out this sea-
son by the Waban people, as Mr.
Wietor thinks a tendency to fade dur-
ing the season of heaviest production is
Eussell 's principal weakness.

^ter a most exhausting month,
spent in his bed with inflammatory
rheumatism, Fred Nichols, of George
Eeinberg 's force, is again on the job.
He lost thirty pounds during his ill-
ness.

One of the busy stores is the Floral
Art Shop, at 3262 Armitage avenue,
conducted by the Misses Gaetzinger.
The ladies are too thoroughly occupied
to come often to market, but their
buyer takes stock in large quantities.
Miss Buela Gaetzinger, however, finds
it difficult to refuse some of the offers
she receives to sing in downtown
cabarets, where her talents and per-
sonality are highly appreciated.

Several cases of kentias and as-
pidistras from Ghent, Belgium, were
opened last week by Winterson's Seed
Store in perfect condition in spite of
the fact that they had been nearly two
months on the journey.

George Welsh, 17-year-old son of
John Welsh, Sr., 4910 North Hoyne ave-
nue, was accidentally killed by a train
in Templeton, la., last week. The fu-
neral was at the home, June 25.

Miss Mary Wittmer, who with her
sister conducts a range of glass and a
retail store in Winamac, Ind., will open
a retail store in the Willoughby build-
ing, on the corner of Michigan avenue
and Madison street, in the near future.
Miss Wittmer has been in the trade ten
years and has been successful. She will
be assisted in the new store by her
brother, Joseph.

John Poehlmann has suffered a re-
lapse and is under the constant care of
physicians. June 21 he attained to his
forty-ninth year.

Otto Amling, of Maywood, and his
family will spend the week end in Bat-
tle Creek, Mich., with Albert F.
Amling. Mr. Amling says the Albert
F. Amling Co. has finished planting, and
all interest is now centered on the con-

SIMMER ROSES

We make a specialty of growing Roses best adapted to handling during the hot weather. Our
facilities are exceptionally well equipped, and we recommend the following stock for summer:

New Beauties in medium and short stems
Rhea Reid — the best red rose
Mrs. Russell — the best pink rose

Sunburst — the best yellow rose

Double White Killarney — the best White rose

Ophelia — Shawyer

Then, in addition, we have the regular varieties of Roses in large quantities, receiving them direct
from the greenhouses within a few hours of being cut, which enables us to fill all orders with strictly
fresh stock. This is the great advantage of buying direct of the grower.

Poehlmann is rated for a second lieuten-
ant's commission by virtue of the high
character of his work while a student
in Culver Military Academy.

If business only would let up a little,
so that he could get away, A. Lange
would pay a visit to Mount Clemens.

Those who buy greenhouse glass of
A. A. Lavaque, of the Pittsburgh Plate
Qlass Co., can congratulate him on the
success of the Englewood Commandery
drill team, of which he is a member,
in winning the Masonic championship
at the Los Angeles conclave of the
Knights Templar last week.

This is the day celebrated by P. J.
Foley and Lewis H. Winterson. One

date in 1903.

Among the guardsmen who went to
Springfield were F. W. Haeger and John

The Market.

The market remains somewhat quieter
than is usual at this time of the year.
However, as most school graduations
j( come at the end of this month, there
is a likelihood of trade being more ac-
tive during the present week. There
are too many flowers in the market and
prices during the last few days have
been low. Bedding stock is letting up
now, but it still is being called for.
The heavy rains have made it neces-
sary for many to replant. This not
only applies to the laymen, but also
to the growers, who have suffered con-
siderably and have had to do outdoor
work over two or three times.

Many outdoor flowers are in the mar-
ket, and they do not move fast. Eoses
are more than plentiful and sell well.
Among the best sellers are My Mary-
land, White Killarney, Killarney, Bus-
sell, Sunburst and Ward. Sweetheart
roses are plentiful and sell well. Car-
nations are abundant and their quality
holds up well. The white and pink sell
best. Sweet peas are not overplenti-
ful at this time, and there is a steady
demand for them. Peonies continue to
sell nicely. Outdoor roses and garden
pinks are handy for funeral work.
Lavender, pink and white stocks also
are useful. Gladioli are arriving in
good shape and sell well. Valley is
plentiful and moves freely. The de-
mand for orchids is not extra large.
Bachelor's buttons and white and yel-
low daisies are plentiful and sell satis-
factorily. Greens of all kinds are suffi-
cient.

The Lady Florists' Association held

PHILADELFHIA.

The Market.

Anybody who would say "Same old
thing" of the cut flower market does
not understand it, or perhaps does not
want to. Of course none of the experts
say that; they note that the change in
the last two weeks has been decided.
Peonies have been taken out of cold
storage with less loss than usual, thus
making much better average prices. It
is surprising how many peonies were
used at moderate prices during June.
Now they are pretty well over — still
obtainable, but not in quantity. Easter
lilies have changed from bad to good
stock to have. The quality is no bet-
ter; they have been good all along, bar-
ring some short stems, but people want
them now at fair prices.

Gladioli are enjoying quite a good
time. They i are mostly greenhouse-
grown America, with some HoUandia,
the orange, of fair to medium quality.
The outdoor gladioli from Virginia are
beginning to arrive. Good, clean roses
are selling quite well, though the local
demand received a check when a num-
ber of fashionable weddings were called
off because the troops were ordered to
Mexico. The weddings took place, with
telephone calls to the guests, but with-
out flowers; they were usually curtailed
of all accompaniments and held in ad-
vance of the time set. The supply of
valley has been shortened. Carnations
are still fair, though they feel the heat.
Good cattleyas are plentiful and there
are some gardenias. Small white flow-
ers abound. To them may be added
lavender candytuft.

Boelofs.

We judge a man by what he has ac-
complished as much as by any other
thing. When we think of the achieve-
ments of Joseph Heacock we must think
of Eoelofs. To all of us who are in-
terested in greenhouses, Eoelofs is a

source of pride. When some great place
is described by an out-of-town visitor
as a place of extraordinary merit, then
advise him most earnestly to see Eoe-
lofs. Take him, if possible; it will re-
pay guide and visitor for their time,
with interest.

To my mind the greenhouse range of
the Joseph Heacock Co., at Eoelofs,
represents the wise expenditure of a
large amount of capital. Everything
is of the most substantial type and
everything is thoroughly done. The
quantity of machinery that can be used
to advantage is probably the most sur-
prising feature of the place to anyone
who is not accustomed to a large place

.run on modern principles of economy.
In fact, there are few large places that
are so well equipped with labor-saving
pumps and engines. This machinery
makes it possible to .secure a high de-
gree of efficiency from the work ex-
pended on the place. Add to this the
workmen employed on the place, ca-
pable and intelligent men, and you have
the foundation for a successful es-
tablishment. The well-nigh perfect
greenhouses, good soil, pure water,
abundant light — all are employed to
aid in growing roses for cutting. Is it
not natural that fine flowers are freely
produced?

are being carried over for next season.
There are some changes. Radiance is
being discarded. This is not from any
cultural shortcoming. Radiance grows
at Roelofs with amazing vigor. It
blooms profusely, but Eadiance is not
wholly satisfactory to the buyers. It
has a habit of remaining half developed
for some time and then falling, which
is unfortunate. So Eadiance is going.
With it goes Lady Alice Stanley, which
has been found wanting in freedom of
bloom in midwinter. In their places
more Killarney roses will be grown.
This is interesting, because Killarney
is on the wane, broadly speaking. The
wonderful success of Killarney at Eoe-
lofs brings results that are impossible
under ordinary conditions. Hadley, too,
will be increased in much greater num-
bers than Killarney, though, of course,
the total number of Hadley grown will
be but a fraction of that of the Irish
rose. It was Eobert Jamison's Hadley

that won the national sweepstakes, so
it is little wonder that the fine block
of thrifty young Hadley in 3-inch pots
is to stay on.

There are a couple of interesting
novelties growing in favored spots,
which are more than likely to prove
valuable next winter.

A Plant Factory.

It is interesting to know that the
Norwood greenhouses of the Eobert
Craig Co. are so full of plants that
room is needed. This is remarkable, be-
cause during the last three months such
immense quantities of Easter and spring
plants have been sent from Norwood to

Forty-ninth and Market streets, from
whence they are distributed. To meet
the need for more room, two green-
houses, each 30x225 feet, and one nar-
row house, are being removed from
Forty-ninth and Market streets to Nor-
wood. They will be erected in the form
of three houses, 30x150 feet each. In
addition to these a smaller house will
be put up. This will give needed room
for the fine cyclamens, ericas and be-
gonias that are now rounding into form.

The Florists^ Review

June 29, 1916.

They were followed by J. E. Morichard
and later by Percy B. Rigby, both of
New York,

Henry Penn, of Boston, and M. A,
Vincent, of the Vincent Floral Co., at-
tended the advertising men's conven-
tion here this week.

The Leo Niessen Co. announces that
its Washington branch, under the man-
agement of Albert Schnell, will remove
to new and commodious quarters on
Eighth street, about September 1. There
the company will have two floors and
a basement, each 25x100 feet. Cold
storage rooms will be installed.

Berger Bros, are receiving beautiful
America and HoUandia gladioli from
Milton H. Bickley's greenhouses at
Chester, Pa. Stockton & Howe, of
Princeton, N. J., are sending them fine
My Maryland roses. They are meeting
a heavy demand for Easter lilies.

Raymond Brunswick, the popular sec-
retary of the M. Rice Co., bravely un-
derwent an operation for appendicitis
at the University hospital June 27. His
excellent . physical condition encourages
his friends in the belief that his recov-
ery will be rapid and complete.

T. Malbranc, of Johnstown, Pa., and
De Forest Ludwig and brothers, of
Pittsburgh, have been with us.

Fred J. Michell, Sr., has opened his
cottage at Avalon, N. J. Among the
well known florists and seedsmen of
this city who have taken their families
to Ocean City, N. J., are Charles Fox-,
Sr., who is justly proud of his turf and
gkrden; Charles E. Meehan, Leo Nies-
sen and Paul F. Richter.

Robert Craig moved his family to
Chelsea June 27. It keeps the doctors
from the kiddies, he says.

The battle of flowers took place at
the Country Club June 23. Some motor
cars were decorated and quite a lot of
outdoor flowers were used on the booths.

Jacob Becker has closed his flower
store at Fifty-second and Market
streets. It has been rented to a res-
taurateur. Mr. Becker will continue
to operate the greenhouses.

The Keller Pottery Co. announces an
increase in the price of flower pots,
made necessary by the increased cost
of production. '^

H. Bayersdorfer & Co. have rented
the building at 1131 Arch street, where
they are storing their heavy importa-
tions of German goods that arrived on
the Ryndam June 26. Phil.

WASHINOTON, D. C.

The Market.

The usual summer dullness now is at
hand and thoughts are turned vacation-
ward. Stock is not so plentiful as it
has bpen and the market is in better
shape. Carnations are fair In"' quality,
but the size of the flowers is small.
Good stock finds a ready sale, but
in all grades prices are low. The
Japanese iris that is coming into Wash-
ington is exceptionally fine, but there is
little or no demand for it locally.
Delphinium is about at an end, and
there is little call for garden flowers,
such as coreopsis and Shasta daisies.
Water lilies are good this year and sell
well.

Easter lilies have not been moving
well, but now that the peony season has
passed it is expected that they will re-
turn to favor. American Beauty roses
are scarce; what few good ones come
ir are picked up immediately by buyers

work of the ladies of the S. A. F. Her
illness has been a matter of no little
regret to her friends.

George C. Shaffer is awaiting the com-
pletion of the wagon top for his deliv-
ery auto. The top is to be green in
color, with the name of the florist and
trimmings in gold.

There is considerable complaint
among the growers of asters of the con-
tinued cold and wet weather, which is
causing the plants to go almost entirely
to foliage. Grave fears are expressed
as to the probable outcome of this
year's crop. B. Winkler, who has an
acre of asters on his place at Chevy
Chase, Md., says that leaf and stem-rot
have already set in. He has 4,000 early
and 4,000 late asters. Last year his
crop was exceptionally good. A con-
tinued drought enabled him to use the
sprinkler system, which takes care of
the entire acre, to good advantage. He
has several lines of pipe through which
water from Eock creek is forced at the
rate of about 3,000 gallons per hour.

Joseph H. Hetherington, who formerly

this city.

The Market.

Better weather prevailed last week
and business responded. Transient
trade is beginning to recede, now that
summer has arrived. The number of
weddings increased greatly last week
and there were many funeral orders
for this time of the year. Japanese
maples, hydrangeas, rhododendrons,
wistarias, boxwood, bushes and plants
have had a good sale. There also has
"been quite a demand for ferns of
various kinds. Sweet Williams have
been disposed of in large quantities,
but they now are passing. The same is
true of heliotropes, verbenas, petunias,
etc. Pansies have gone. Boses are
plentiful and their prices are moderate,
considering the season. The cloudy
weather checked the supply of sweet
peas, but now, with more sun, they are
coming into the market in large quan-
tities and in great variety. Carna-
tions are plentiful. Phloxes are begin-
ning to arrive and marigolds are avail-
able in quantities. Spiraeas are plenti-
ful and of high quality. There is a
moderate supply of daisies, coreopsis,
etc. Peonies are plentiful, the larger
varieties being abundant.

Various Notes.

Henry Breninger is making a spe-
cialty of ferns and rubber plants. Now
that summer is here, there will be a
constantly decreasing demand for cut
flowers.

A. Deisler & Son report a falling off
in the sales of cut flowers but plenty of
funeral work.

Charles Luthy decorated his store for
the Springfield Avenue Merchants'
Week celebration. He reports business
as being good.

OIiEN COVE, N. Y.

The regular meeting of the Nassau
County Horticultural Society, which
was held at Glen Cove June 14, was
well attended. President James Mac-
Donald presided. Secretary Gibson read
a large number of letters in which tho
writers offered prizes in the coming au-
tumn exhibition. The prize list is al-
ready a large one and the schedules,
which the executive committee now are
working on, are sure to be complete.

The exhibits of the evening were
judged by George Gilder, Joseph Adler
and Thomas Twigg. Harry Goodband
was awarded first prize for a vase of a
flowering shrub, as well as James Mc-
Carthy, for twelve pods of peas. It
was decided to hold a sweet pea exhibi-
tion in July and the executive commit-
tee was instructed to draw up a sched-
ule and to make arrangements.

James De Vyner, entomologist of
Mount Vernon, gave a lecture on "The
Hickory Bark Beetle and the Means
of Controlling Same. ' ' The lecture was
replete with practical information and
proved to be unusually instructive. In
connection with his talk Mr. De Vyner
exhibited some hickory wood that had
been infested with the beetle and also
showed some specimens of the insect in
its various stages of life, from the
larva to the adult. At the conclusion
of the lecture, the lecturer was ques-
tioned at considerable length with re-
gard to various points brought out.

The essay received from the National
Association of Gardeners, entitled ' ' Thp
Preparation of Ground for, and General
Treatment of, Hardy Perennials," by
H. E. Downer, of Massachusetts, was
an interesting paper, most favorably re-
ceived by the members.

The Market.

The mirket was overloaded with
stock last week, with business poor and
prices far down. Stock is in an excel-
lent condition for this time of the year.
With society folks on their summer va-
cations, retailers are not looking for-
ward to much business, except in fu-
neral work. Growers are active and
preparations are being made for a large
increase in the supply of cut flowers
for this market. Last week the whole-
salers carried considerably more stock
than they could dispose of and job-lot
prices prevailed. Sweet peas were a
glut last week and on some days the
prices fell -to $1 per thousand.- <!arna-
tions, too, were plentiful. Blooms of
excellent quality had to be sacrificed
in order to clear them. On some days
roses, too, arrived in large quantities.
'Lilies and valley hold their own in
price and there is an excellent demand
for them. Gladioli are arriving in fine
condition and prices on these are down
to $2 and $3 per hundred. All greens
sell well at the usual prices.

Various Notes.

The Retail Florists' Association held
its monthly mjBeting at the Mission Inn
Garden, June 19. President Charles
Young and Secretary Fred C. Weber,
Jr., report the meeting well attended.
Much important business was trans-
acted. A board of trustees was ap-
pointed to take charge of plans for the
summer meetings and the increase of

men have many friends in the trade
who wish them a speedy and safe
return.

J. F. Ammann, of Edwardsville, 111.,
spent a day last week looking over the
damage done by the hail at Kirkwood.
He is a director of the Florists' Hail
Association.

The new greenhouse plant of Henry
Blixen, known as the Woodland Gar-
dens, at Edwardsville, 111., has been
completed. The big rose houses have
been planted and the young stock is in
a fine condition. The young carnation
plants in the field are excellent. The
stock from this place will be consigned
to the St. Louis market.

The St. 'Louis County Growers' Asso-
ciation will hold its next meeting July
5, at the Eleven Mile House. President
Winter and Secretary Deutschmann
have arranged for a large attendance.

George Schmidt, rose grower for
W. J. Pilcher, broke his arm a few
weeks ago, but is back at work again.
The cut of roses this season has been
large and of excellent quality.

TThe C. Young & Sons Co. has leased
its present quarters for a term of five
years. Shipping orders this year are
reported to have exceeded those of any
previous year. The aquatic display in
the window of the Olive street store is
quite attractive.

ment orders were particularly large.
Grimm & Gorly and the MuUanphy
Florists report a splendid June busi-
ness.

The St. Louis Wholesale Cut Flower
Co. was incorporated last week with a
capital stock of $20,000, all paid up.
The incorporators are David Geddis,
J. J. Beneke and F. P. Maid. The new
company will start operations Septem-
ber 1.

D. I. Bushnell, Ben Corneli, Clifford
Cornell and August Barnidge, who at-
tended the convention of the American
Seed Trade Association at Chicago last
week, have returned home, and are
pleased with the few days' stay at the
Windy City. They report an excellent
meeting.

Professor H. C. Irish, who will have
charge of the National Apple Growers'
Association's meeting to be held here
August 2 and 3, at the Planters hotel,
says he expects this to be a largely at-
tended affair. He is promised assist-
ance by the oflScers of the St. Louis
Florists' Club.

David Geddis, manager of Vander-
voort's flower department, reports that
he has closed a most successful season
in all lines. The first season in handling
bird houses was a great success.

Marion Uhlschmidt, manager of the
East St. Louis store of Grimm & Gorly,
states that this season 's business was
a great increase over that of any pre-
vious year. Plans are being made for
improvements at this store, for the
opening of the fall season.

The Market.

With college commencements and
school graduations over and the month
of weddings nearing an end, business,
which has been quite good, is sinking
down to its summer level. Growers of
peonies and hardy roses find their crops
in season too lafe this year to be of
much value, but the indoor flowers have
sold so well that they have in a large
measure made up for this. Roses sold
nicely until June 23, when they started
to accumulate, and they now move
sluggishly. I never saw flowers of finer
quality before at this late date, and
the same is true of carnations. —

American Beauties are in moderate
demand at $15 to $20 per hundred for
the best. Among the hybrid teas
Ophelia, Killarney Brilliant, Ward, Rus-
sell, Francis Scott Key, Miller and

moderately well. Carnations still are of

Out-of-town orders for delivery in New York
carefully and promptly filled atreasonable rsteg

a quality such as we usually see in
March, but people are tired of them,
wanting other flowers. As a conse-
quence, prices run low.

Indoor sweet peas^ owing to the ab-
sence of torrid weather, are still good
and sell at fair prices. A few outdoor
flowers appeared this week, but these
are late this season. Lily of the valley
has been bringing abnormal prices and
is not in heavy supply. Peonies are at
their flood tide, and, while they would
have sold finely even a week ago, they
are neglected. Lilies have been selling
well.

Among miscellaneous flowers del-
phiniums, sweet Williams, digitalis, Can-
terbury bells, gaillardias and others are
noted. Yellow marguerites, bachelor 's
buttons, feverfew and a variety of mis-
cellaneous flowers meet with an uncer-
tain call. Gladiolus America is good,
but in oversupply; so are other gladioli.
Fewer cattleyas are to be seen. The
varieties now are chiefly C. Gaskelliana
and C. gigas. Asparagus and ferns
have been selling well this month. The
bedding plant trade is nearing an end.
A number of growers say they have a
considerable surplus of stock on hand,
which they attribute to the cold, wet
season.

There was an attendance of 250 at

her home. Announcements were made
regarding the club picnic to be held at
Cunningham park, East Milton, July 27.
The regular business was materially
shortened in order that all present could
enjoy the entertainment prepared. This
was, as usual, of a high-class character
and included solos by Miss Edgar, of
Waverley; Miss Margaret Alexander
and John Daniels; duets by Miss Alex-
ander and Mr. Daniels; violin selections
by Mr. Duguid, Jr., and some fine hu-
morous songs and monologues by Mr.
Weston. Following the entertainment
a generous collation was served, which
was succeeded by dancing, in which
nearly everyone seemed to take part,
enjoying it thoroughly.

The Peony Exhibition.

In spite of one week 's postponement,
the dates June 17 and 18 proved a full
week too early for peonies around
Boston, and the exhibition was merely
a ghost of what it should have been.
However, displays of hardy perennials
helped to make a nice exhibition. Few
local peonies were staged.

In the class of twenty varieties G. H.
Peterson was first; A. H. Fewkes, sec-
ond. For ten varieties, three blooms
of each, G. H. Peterson again was first;
Mrs. C. S. Minot, second. For six named
varieties, G. H. Peterson, first; Mrs.
C. S. Minot, second. For six varieties,
rose pink, G. H. Peterson, first; Mrs.
C. S. Minot, second. Six varieties, sal-
mon pink, G. H. Peterson, first; S. C.
Harris, second. Six varieties, red or
crimson, G. H. Peterson, first; S. C.
Harris, second. Twelve named varie-
ties, non-commercial, William Thatcher,
gardener to Mrs. J. L. Gardner, first.
Twelve blooms of pink, non-commercial,
William Thatcher, first.

The Wellesley Nurseries had a fine
collection, not for competition, of
peonies and German irises. A. H.
Fewkes had a fine vase of Pffonia Mme.
Calot, and William Thatcher one of
P. magnifica.

T. C. Thurlow's Sons Co. had the
largest and best collection of hardy rho-
dodendrons, and were also in the lead
for twelve varieties. Duncan Finlay-
son won for six varieties.

There was a fine display of German
irises. For twenty-four vases H. M.
Dumphe was first and H. F. Chase, sec-
ond. For twenty-five varieties of
herbaceous plants Duncan Finlayson
was the sole competitor. For twenty
varieties the Blue Hill Nurseries won
with a fine assortment.

The Mount Desert Nurseries, of Bar
Harbor, Me., had an artistic display of
eremuri, irises and other hardy flowers,
set up in bamboos. J. K. Alexander had
a collection of German irises. The Blue
Hill Nurseries had displays of hemero-
callis and irises. R. & J. Farquhar

& Co. had a nice collection of fuchsias.
They received a silver medal for an ex-
tensive display of hardy herbaceous
plants and shrubs. Henry Stewart, gar-
dener to Miss Cornelia Warren, had a
collection of . hardy perennials.

One of the most notable exhibits was
a table of hybrid irises from Miss Grace
Sturtevant, who has done much cross-
ing in the Germanica section. For the
general display she received a well mer-
ited silver medal. One variety, Stanley
N. White, received a first-class certifi-
cate. A number of seedlings exhibited
showed a striking advance over exist-
ing varieties.

Donald McKenzie, gardener to E. B.
Dane, had a nice collection of cut or-
chids. The Blue Hill Nurseries received
honorable mention for Thalictrum
aquilegifolium purpureum. J. T. But-
terworth had fine miltonias and other
orchids.

Various Notes.

Interest in the outing of the mem-
bers of the Gardeners' and Florists'
Club to Bar Harbor, Me., who will leave
Boston, Kowe's wharf, at 5:30 p. m.,
July 14, is steadily growing, and a large
party is now assured. In addition to
the exhibition of the American Sweet
Pea Society, July 15 and 16, the beau-
tiful gardens of Bar Harbor and the
enchanting scenery along the coast of
Maine and on Mount Desert island will
be enjoyed. Steamer reservations are
being rapidly taken up and early appli-
cation for any of the remaining should
be made to W. N. Craig, of Brookline,
Mass., who will be glad to furnish full
information about the excursion, rates,
hotel accommodations, etc.

fine now are Killarney Brilliant, Dou-
ble White Killarney, Francis Scott Key,
Ophelia, Stanley and Hadley.

The coming of the Waban Eose Con-
servatories to Winthrop square means
that the entire wholesale cut flower
trade of Boston now is centralized here.
In addition to the two wholesale flower
markets, there are the wholesale com-
mission houses of the Welch Bros. Co.,
P. Welch, Welch's, H. M. Eobinson &
Co., N. F. McCarthy & Co., the New
[England Florists* Supply Co., McAlpine
& McDonald, B. A. Snyder & Co., the
Boston Rose Co., the Budlong Rose Co.,
and William H. Elliott.

John McFarland, of North Easton,
says his sweet peas are flowering so
well that he hates to pull them up to
make room for chrysanthemums. He
has a fine cut of lilies and is, as usual,
working up a big stock of poinsettias.

At Galvin's some attractive displays
of aquatic flowers are being featured.
Wedding orders here have been numer-
ous of late.

From present indications the annua|
rose and strawberry show at Horticul-
tural hall, July 1 and 2, should prove
an excellent one. The cool, showery
weather has greatly favored hardy
roses, which are unusually luxuriant.

At Welch's, 280 Devonshire street,
business is reported'' by David Welch
as far above their expectations. The

windows is striking and can be read as
far away as Summer street.

Early closing will go into force Satur-
days during July and August at the
wholesale flower markets and some of
the commission houses.

June has proved to be an unusual
month. We have had few clear days
and no really warm ones. Vegetation
is muph later than normal. At present
peonies are at their best; kalmias and
philadelphus are also in the heyday of
their glory.

E. H. Wilson, of the Arnold Ar-
boretum staff, was honored with an M.
A. degree from Harvard last week for
his laljors in the field of botany and
plant collecting.

Owing to the persistent rain June 25,
the day of the picnic of the Boston Flo-
rists' Bowling League at Lake Boone,
the sports, including baseball, had to be
postponed. There was a good attend-
ance, but it had to be an indoor celebra-
tion.

Sir William Robertson, who has been
mentioned as a successor to the late
Lord Kitchener, is first cousin to
Duncan Robertson, one of Penn 's genial
artists.

Owing to the extreme lateness of the
season, the annual rose and strawberry
show of the Massachusetts Horticul-
tural Society, scheduled for June 24 and
25, has been postponed to July 1 and 2.
Both roses and strawberries promise
spletidid crops and the later date set
will suit them.

F. W. Fletcher, of Auburndale, has
this season 700,000 bulbs of his new

'roure white improvement on Freesia
Purity. He also has some other fine
varieties. W. 2>f. C.

The annual rose show of the Nassau
County Horticultural Society was held
at the Nassau Country Club, June 16.
Despite the lateness of the season, there
was a large iand splendid display of
roses, herbaceous . flowers, annuals and
vegetables. Unfortunately, none of the
hybrid perpetual roses were open, so
the rose section consisted entirely of
teas and hybrid teas. Of these, how-
ever, there was a large assortment of
the finest quality, the newer varieties
and novelties, as well as the old favor-
ites, being well represented. In this
section Frank O. Johnson, gardener for
Harold Pratt, reigned supreme, captur-
ing first prize in every rose class in
which there was competition. In addi-
tion to Mr. Johnson, the principal ex-
hibitors were Henry Gaut, gardener for
Herbert Pratt; John Everitt, gardener
for John Pratt; Harry Goodband, gar-
dener for S. D. Brewster; James McCar-
thy, gardener for W. E. Kimball. The
prize for the best collection of outdoor-
grown flowers was won by Henry Gaut,
with James McCarthy second. In other
classes the awards were: Collection of
annuals, James McCarthy, first; Harry
Goodband, second. Collection of vege-
tables, Joseph Robinson, gardener for
W. R. Coe, first; Robert Jones, gardener
for Percy Chubb, second. Table decor-
ation, Joseph Adler, gardener for H. Sa-
dew, first.

There also were good exhibits in the
non-competitive section, the principal
exhibitors being Samuel Trepass, gar-
dener for Mrs. H. Whitney; William
Noonan, gardener for C. F. Cartiledge;
W. C. Jones, gardener for Mrs. J. C.
Ayre. Mr. Noonan staged a fine col-
lectioi^- of outdoor flowers comprising
thirty-eight varieties, which was
awarded a certificate of culture. The
judges were James Holloway, William
Gray and George Ashworth.

Germain Seed & Plant Co.

FOLIAGE PLANTS IN GROUPS.

The accompanying illustration gives
a good idea of the pretty form effects
that may be produced by the use of
foliage plants alone, but, unfortunately,
the picture does not reproduce the
splendid color effect. The nursery de-
partment of the Germain Seed & Plant
Co., of Los Angeles, this year decided
to break away from the usual mixed
groups of foliage and flowering plants
and depend on foliage plants alone for
its displays at local shows. The de-
parture has been thoroughly successful
in every way, as visitors return to the
group again and again, each time find-
ing some little thing they had not seen
brfore.

The picture shows the arrangement
of the display, and the principal plants
used were: Weeping willows, in the
rear; Japanese cut-leaved maples in
many pretty tones of color; Pittosporum
Tobira variegatum, green, with silver
variegation; golden euonymus, Due d'
Anjou; golden privet; Lonicera Japon-
ica aureo-reticulata; Nandina domes-
tiea, a lovely plant, not nearly so pop-
ular as it deserves to be, with red-tinted
foliage becoming blood-red with age
and producing berries as handsome as
those of a skimmia or ardisia; Eeti-
nospora filifera aurea, the beautiful old
Sophie Dumaresque and Lady Pollock
geraniums, red and yellow achyranthes
and others. It may be thought that
there is little variation to be had in
groups of this kind, but the decorators
of the Germain Seed & Plant Co. have
shown by their exhibits at the various
shows that this is not so. They have
been a distinct success from an artistic
as well as a commercial point of view.

LOS ANGELES.

The Market.

The town was given over to the
Knights Templar last week and, while
some trade resulted, it was not by any
means an unmixed good. On certain
days it was hard to make or obtain de-
liveries of stock, owing to the crowded
condition of the streets, which were
closed to vehicular traflBc during the
parades. But the end of the week will
see the floral parade, when doubtless a
far greater number of flowers than
usual will be needed. A practically un-
limited supply of all the cheaper grades
of flowers is now pouring into the city
from all sides, asters, gladioli, carna-
tions, centaureas and sweet peas being
the most plentiful. Roses are fair in
quality and there are' plenty to select
from. Boston and Whitmani ferns are
scarce in the best qualities, although
as always there are plenty of unsalable

plants in the market. Dahlias are
fine now and make a gorgeous dis-
play. Valley is short and orchids are
plentiful. The greens situation is about
normal.

The cool weather has been good for
all kinds of planting and it has given
the nurserymen a good chance to finish
work left over. To a markejl extent,
too, it has led to ihcrea'sea sales, as

people will garden here until the hot
weather starts in and then quit. A3
sales have continued until after mid-
summer, the season must be considered
satisfactory.

Various Notes.

The joint picnic of the Pasadena and
Los Angeles County Horticultural So-
cieties, at Santa Monica canon, was a
great success. About 150 were present
and all reported an excellent time.
Owing to the absence of some of the
Los Angeles heavyweights, it is said,
the tug of war was decided in favor of
Pasadena.

G. Martin, with Elgert L. Martin, of
Covina, says they are well pleased with
the results of the opening of the new
place and that the carnation stock is
selling finely.

A. Knopf, of the Redondo Floral Co.,
says they are better satisfied every
month with the change in location to
Seventh and Broadway. Not only is
there a larger volume of transient trade,
but it is of a better character than
t that at the old stand at Third and
Spring streets.

S. Murata & Co. say that business is
good both in the city and in out-of-town
shipments, but that city deliveries have
been badly held up on account of
parades and other disturbances. The
asters now arriving are high-grade.

George W. Smith appears to have got
hold of the lion's share of the big
decorations in honor of the Knights
Templar. The scenes of the high jinks
and ceremonies, at the Shrine audi-
torium, the Temple auditorium, the

Alexandria and the Scottish Rite
cathedral, were all his work, and when
all were completed there was hardly a
good kentia left in the nursery, large
or small. The business at the store on
Seventh and Figueroa streets has been
good.

H. W. Turner has a fine stock of the
new yellow rose, Tipperary, which
seems likely, to prove a winner. The
color is Superior to that of any other
yellow rose at present being grown
here, and although the flowers being
cut are from young stock they appear
to be good in texture and stem. Mr.
Turner says it is one of the most pro-
fuse bloomers. Large plantings of
Hoosier Beauty are being made this
year, this rose being intended to re-
place Hadley.

H. Plath, of the Ferneries, San Fran-
cisco, was in town last week on his way
north from a trip to San Diego, which
he says has been enjoyable. Mrs. Plath
and his daughter accompanied him.
They left for home June 22.

Mrs. Alois Frey, of Crown Point,
Ind., was in the city this week super-
intending the lifting and shipping of
the California-grown stock of Rainbow
freesias.

SAN FRANCISCO.

The Market.

The cut flower market last week was
nothing to brag about. Business was
not brisk and the quantity of stock
seemed to increase daily, making it ira-

possible to clean up the supplies through
the usual channels. As a consequence,
carnations, sweet peas and outdoor sum-
mer stock of various kinds were sold on
the streets at minimum prices and had
a tendency to cut down counter trade
still further than otherwise would have
been the case. As a matter of fact,
the principal difl&culty was an over-
supply of stock rather than really poor
business. Quantities of flowers were
sold, but the large surplus made it look
as if comparatively little stock was
moved. All the summer stock shows ex-
cellent quality. Many cornflowers are
absorbed and scabiosas are popular.
Qood zinnias are arriving and asters are
becoming plentiful.

The principal feature of the market
is the gladiolus. Florists say they never
before saw so many gladioli coming at
once, which is due to the fact that
growers planted at the same time. The
supply of dahlias is increasing rapidly,
there being many cactus dahlias. Delice
is fine and Minnie Burgle is all that can
be desired. Boses continue in abundant
supply and the • demand holds up par-
ticularly well, considering the large va-
riety^' of cheaper summer flowers the
market affords. My Maryland is hav-
ing a good sftle and Ophelia cleans up
at fair prices. Sunburst and September
Morn come in for due attention, while
baby roses enjoy their usual wholesome
demand. Beauties show fine quality
for this time of the year and sell fairly
well. Valley is sQ|pe(P and the supply
of orchids barely fits tk^^emand.
Quantities of fine hydrangearf^ill are
arriving and unusually fine cockscomb is
offered. Greens are in ample supply.

Various Notes.

The Misses Hannon, who have been
temporarily located on Sutter street,
near Stockton, for some time, have de-
cided not to move back to their former

Santa Cruz, Cal. — The sweet pea and
gladiolus show recently held here was
pronounced one of the best of its kind
ever staged on the coast. W. E. King,
one of the judges, reports that the
Southern Pacific officials offered to
transport the entire exhibit to San
Francisco and provide care-takers when
it arrived there. C. C. Morse & Co., of
San Francisco, were donors of prizes
for amateurs and their local establish-
ment staged a fine exhibit of sweet
peas, comprising many varieties. Mr.
King says that the extra fine quality of
sweet peas this year may be attributed
to the unseasonably cool weather.

Secretary-Treasurer, 0. B. Kendel, Cleveland, O.

H. A. Naldrett has arrived in New
York for his annftal trip for Kelway &
Son, Langport, England.

Wet weather has cost the growers of
pansy seed more dollars than a few. Many
blooms have rotted instead of setting
seeds.

The peas in Michigan and Wisconsin
are decidedly late and the chances of in-
jury are increasing every day the cold,i
wet weather continues.

The Four States Seed Co., of Clayton,
N. M., has been incorporated at $5,000,
all paid up. The directors are : A. Hart-
ner, of Denver, Colo.; W. L. Franklin,
of Clayton, N. M.; A. Heglemen, of
Denver, Colo. •

The onion sets around Chicago, now the
one great growing center for this spe-
cialty, have had a lot more rain than they
needed through June and the fields are
spotty, some excellent pieces and some not
nearly so good.

The British order in council prohibit-
ing the importation of bulbs and plants
does not apply to those grown in France,
but bars those grown in Japan, and Guern-
sey as well as in Holland. *' Romans,
Paper Whites and caaididuras from
France can be marketed in England.

June has been an excellent month for
the seed trade. Of course mail orders
have dwindled to almost nothing and
counter sales of seeds have become almost
as small, but plants, which are a feature
of steadily increasing importance in seed
stores, have sold in unusual numbers all
through the month.

Galloway Bros., Waterloo, la., are
doubling the capacity of their garden
seed warehouse. According to George
Hall, general business has been better
with them than it was last year. He
says there are strong indications of a
repetition of last season's clover seed
conditions, as there has already been too
much rain.

A. M. Eldridge, Shenandoah, la., sec-
retary of the Iowa Seed Dealers' Asso-
ciation, under date of June 20 issued "A
Little Story" about that organization's
annual convention earlier in the month, a
4-page leaflet that won 't tell you a whole
lot about the seed business but will make
you smile as you read it. Send for it,
and mark Mr. Eldridge as a westerner
worth watching.

Since England announced that imports
of Dutch bulbs will be refused admission
this year, the trade in America has been
receiving many offers from firms not well
known in this country and which have
heretofore found their principal market
in the British Isles. The situation in
Holland is shown by the fact that prices
on tulips are not cut to any great extent,
but that offers of hyacinths are made
much below prices at which export orders
have been taken by the travelers who
visited America this season. Narcissi,
too, especially where the character of the
bulb is not specified, are offered at ex-
tremely cheap prices. These offers, while
apparently producing little business for

TIME TO SOW

It is said that there is a time for everything, but
never mind about that, it is surely time to sow seed
of SNAPDRAGON for winter blooms. Grow your
own stock from seed and have good plants at hand
when you need them. Besides securing something
good for yourself, there will be a strong market for
^ny surplus plants, as the rainy season throughout
our country has spoiled lots of stock. Get busy to-
day and select from the following good ones :

Seed of our famous Silver Pink Snapdragon, $1.00 per pkt.;
3 for $2.50; 7 for $6.00. Seed of Nelrose, Phelps' White,
our Yellow, Garnet, Buxton, and Fancy Mixed, at 35c per
pkt.; 3 for $1.00. Free cultural directions; all orders cash.

Remember — we grow Snapdragons, and that it is time to
sow seed of them. ,

largest convention in the history of the
trade, over sixty per cent of the mem-
bers of the association being repre-
sented. He also called attention to the
fact that the next largest meeting was
held in Chicago four years ago.

The Importance of Costs.

Eobert E. Belt, special agent of the
Federal Trade Commission, Washington,
D. C, read a splendid paper on the im-
portance of true costs and of the co-
operative work of the commission in
improving accounting methods and
business practice.

"Unfortunately," said Mr. Belt,
"the value and importance of proper
cost accounts are often underestimated.
So long as the details of a business can
be carried in mind, cost records are not
so essential, but when this cannot be
done, it becomes absolutely necessary
for the safe conduct of business that

The Florists' Review

price discounts, expense in collecting
outstanding receivables, etc. The omis-
sion of such items as these is the rea-
son that the final profit and loss ac-
count at the end of the year is so often
disappointing, and so diflicult to recon-
cile with the profit percentage that was
added to the supposed cost of the goods.
"It is of great importance to those
engaged in a particular industry that
they agree on the elements or funda-
mentals of a cost practice, especially to
make sure that all of the elements of
cost are included in their calculations.
Make sure that you have included in
your cost an adequate provision for de-
preciation and every expense of every
description incurred during the year.
The test of the accuracy of a cost sys-
tem is that it dovetails in and coordi-
nates with the financial books of ac-
count. The costs then, in the aggre-
gate, at least, must be correct.

"Excellent results are being attained
by trade associations appointing a man
to devote his entire time to visiting the
concerns that are engaged in their in-
dustry, getting acquainted, preaching

«the gospel of good accounting practice,

'reconciling dififere^nces and standard-
izing methods. There should be no
selfish motives back of such service.
There should be the same willingness
and free spirit to help and to aid and
bring in line the non-member of an or-
ganization as there is manifested in the

. member. The npn-member is usually
the trouble-makei. In the interest of
the industry, he should be guided by the
experience of others. The fallacies and
disastrous results of bad business prac-
tice should be pointed out to him.
"The Federal Trade Commission, un-

, der the direction of the vice-chairman,
Edward N. Hurley, is aiding and co-
operating with trade associations and
with individual merchants and manufac-
turers in improving accounting methods
and business practice. The work of the
commission has shown that an amazing
number of smaller merchants and manu-
facturers have no adequate system of
determining their costs and price their
goods arbitrarily."

The Law and the Trade.

During the session the following reso-
lution was adopted: "Resolved that
this association is opposed to any legis-
lation affecting germination of seeds,
nullifying the disclaimer or interfering
with interstate commerce."

In an eloquent address, J. S. Michael,
of Sioux City, in behalf of the associa-
tion, presented Mr. and Mrs. J. M.
(Lupton with a large mahogany mantel
clock and candlesticks, in appreciation
of their services during the last year.
Mr. Lupton made a brief but feeling
reply.

The Talk in the Lobby.

The most interesting part of a con-
vention ordinarily is the talk among
the members outside the meetings; then
the high lights develop. From the talk
in the lobby during the seed trade con-
vention it was apparent that nearly
everyone has had a good season, in spite
of the poor start, the late spring, the
general shortage of seeds and the higher
costs all along the line.

In a general way all seedsmen are
concerned with four subjects, the first
being the individual and vital one of
meeting competition. The second also
is an individual problem, that of seed
■ supply, quality and price. Third in

THE KENILWORTH Giant Pansy

Seeds are all grown by myself and are offered In the following mix-
tures and separate colors:

22. GIANT KENILWORTH STRAIN. The flowers are of perfect form
and substance; many of the Immense flowers are from 3Vi to 4
inches. It is a striking collection of beautiful colors and markings,
rich with shades of red, brown, bronze, mahogany and many others
too numerous to mention. Light, Medium or Dark Mixtures.

24. GIANT KENILWORTH SHOW. An extra fine strain of large flow-
ers; the immense flowers are of circular form and great substance.
A beautiful collection of colors and markings.

26. GIANT KENILWORTH CUT FLOWER MIXTURE. Is a distinct class
by itself, surpassing all other strains as a cut flower or for exhibi-
tion purposes, for inside or outside growing; the large flowers are
carried erect above the foliage on heavy stems, 7 or 8 inches long,
in the most graceful manner, and stand the hot, dry weather well.

28. GIANT BIASTEBPIECE. A remarkable type; the curled, wavy petals
giving the flower a double appearance; large flowers of great sub-
stance, on long, strong stem.

30. GIANT THREE AND FIVE BLOTCHED PANSIES. A superb mix-
ture. Flowers large and of circular form and of great substance.
The display of coloring Is unsurpassed. A combination of almost
every shade of rich, velvety colors; reds are particularly conspic-
uous; the petals being distinctly marked with three or five large,
dark blotchee.

32. GIANT PARISIAN. The flowers are of enormous size and beautifully
marked, mostly flne dark blotches on white and yellow ground;
an unusually showy mixture.

34. GIANT BRONZE. A fine mixture of all shades of velvety brown,
bronze, Havana brown, mahogany and copper shades.

45. GIANT APOLLO (Masterpiece type). New bronze, veined and
blotched. Strongly frilled petals. A superb Pansy.

deep, smooth, velvet red shading to scarlet, with curled petals and

gnvAAt SG6T1 tod

49. GIANT MERCURY. New. A deep blackish purple, really self-col-
ored, without blotches or spots. The flowers are extraordinary In
size and substance, being the largest flowers of all self-colored
Pansies.
S2. ORCHID FLOWERED, Mixed. A dwarf, free bloomer, with a range
of delicate colors that do not exist in any other Pansies; a re-
markable combination of light rose, shell pink, blush mauve,
fawn, light brown, orange and chamois.

Ifew Early flowering or Winter-blooming Giant Pansies •^«'">* Kenilworih PansySted

An entirely new and distinct strain of Pansies. The main advantage of
these new Pansies over all hitherto existing Pansies Is the extreme earllness
of flowering and Its unusual hardiness, which enables them to withstand quite
severe Winters, and to bloom right on Into the Summer. Sown at the same
time as oth«r Pansias, they begin flowering the early part of March or as soon
as the anayr Is off tne ground, many times having four or five large flowers
to a plant, when all other Pansies are only showing buds. The flowers are
large, well formed and fragrant. They are highly recommended for Autum.n
planting on graves and for very early bedding, as well as for early cut
flowers.

14. WiaTJBB SVXr. Golden yellow, with dark eye.

15. ICE KZVO. Silvery white, with dark blue eye.
15. CBX^EBTIAXi QUEEN. Light or sky blue.

17. CHABM OP MASCK. Dark velvety blue.

tions. 500 Meds 50c., 1000 seeds 91.00, H oz. $3.00, V4 os. 93.75, 1 oz.
915.00.

20. FBnrCESS. The MTew TTpriffht Pansy.
This strain is entirely distinct from all others. It is absolutely compact,
upright growing, and extremely weatherproof, enduring many storms with-
out damage to its flower. The flowers are modtly blotched and frilled llkfe the
Masterpiece, of good form and heavy, velvety texture, on heavy stems carried
well above the foliage. Attractive by the brilliancy of its colors.

centered, particularly in the states of
Michigan, Wisconsin, Indiana, Illinois
and Minnesota. In greenhouses, the dis-
ease was reported from Illinois as early
as 1908, and is known to occur to a
more or less limited extent in New
York, OLouisiana, Pennsylvania and
other states. In the greenhouse the
disease is quite similar in its principal
symptoms to those found in the field,
the principal differences being that the
disease appears to be more virulent,
many of the plants wilting and dying.

The mosaic disease has recently been
studied by the Michigan Experiment
Station in cooperation with the Bureau
of Plant Industry, U. S. Department
of Agriculture, and by the University
of Bochester in cooperation with the
Cornell University Agricultural Experi-
ment Station, and its nature discovered.
It belongs to the same class as the
other mosaic diseases of tobacco, po-
tato, tomato, pokeweed and other
plants, which have been known for
some time. The exact cause of this
class of troubles has not been discov-
ered, but it is considered to be what is
known as a filterable virus, an agent of
infection which is so finely divided
that it will pass through a porcelain
filter and" 'still retain its ability to re-
produce the disease when injected into
healthy plants. It has been definitely
proven that plant lice transferred from
diseased to healthy plants will carry
the disease. It if also practically cer-
tain that the disease is spread by pick-
ers when harvesthig tifl^cucumbers.

Judging from the nafilS of the dis-
ease and from the preliminary experi-
ments thus far carried out, the remedial
measures indicated by our present
knowledge are (1) the eradication or
^^ontrol of insect pests which act as
carriers of the disease, and (2) the
application of sanitary measures to
eliminate the sources of infection.

CUCUMBEBS NOT SETTING.

I have a house planted to cucumbers,
which are failing to develop any fruit.
They bloom in great profusion, but the
small cucumbers turn yellow and dis-
appear. Do cucumbers in a house need
any artificial fertilizing! If so, how
should this be done? C. O. G. — Mo.

Yes, cucumbers need artificial pol-
lination to insure a good crop. Of
course at this season, when insects are
abundant, it is not so necessary to pol-
linate as it is earlier. The best plan,
and one adopted by many of the most
successful cucumber specialists, is to
keep hives of bees in the houses. This
will insure a heavy set. Try to secure
one or two hives. Until they arrive,
give the plants a shake early in the
afternoon each day to distribute the
pollen. C. W.

Fergus Falls, Minn. — August Ander-
son, market gardener, has completed the
erection of a large greenhouse.

NUKSERY NEWS.

AMEBICAN ASSOCIATION OF NXJRSEBYUEN.
President, E. S. Welch, Shenandoah, la.; Vice-
president, John AVntson, Newark, N. Y. ; Secre-
tary, John Hall. Rochester. N. Y. ; Treasurer,
Peter Youngers, Geneva, Neb.

The obituary column this week con-
tains notice of the death of Horace S.
Wiley, "of Cayuga, N, Y.

This is the twentieth consecutive con-
vention of the A. A. N. attended by John
C. Chase, of Derry, N. H. Has anyone a
better record?

The Federal Horticultural Board has
issued Notice of Quarantine No. 25, ef-
fective July 1, amending No. 22, revising
and extending the area in New England
quarantined because of the gipsy and
brown-tail moth. For the purposes of
inspection the territory is divided into
two areas, to be known as the lightly
infected area and the generally infect-
ed area.

A. A. N. IN ANNUAL SESSION.

Meets This Week at Milwaukee.

For thirty-nine years the American
Association of Nurserymen pursued the
even tenor of its way and then, at its
fortieth meeting, at Detroit last June,
almost on the spur of the moment, the
members adopted recommendations by
the progressive element that amounted
to a complete reorganization. Whether
the recommendations and the action on
them were wise or otherwise is the
matter that is of chief interest in the
forty-first annual meeting, in progress
at Milwaukee this week.

The principal feature of the reor-
ganization was the plan by which dues
are assessed in accordance with the vol-
ume of business done by each member.
Previously the dues were $5 per year;
now they are $10 for associate members
(those in the allied trades) and $5 from
active members (nurserymen), who also
pay additional dues as follows: Doing
an annual business of $10^000 to $20,-
000, $5; $20,000 to $50,000, $15; $50,000
to $100,000, $25; $100,000 and over, $50.
The purpose, of course, was to raise
money with which to extend the activi-
ties of the organization, through the
employment of counsel, the employment
of a secretary to devote his entire time
to the work, through establishing an
arbitration committee and by other
means.

How the New Plan Works.

It is, of course, too much to expect
that the first year should show what
the new plan will do, but it has demon-
strated that the members are willing
to see it through; neither the sharply
increased cost of membership nor the
necessity of making a statement of the
approximate volume of the member's
annual sales has resulted in any consid-
erable defection, while it has almost
doubled the revenues. The membership
for this and the previous five years is
as follows:

1911— St. Louis 382

1912— Boston 363

191.3— Portland 463

1014— Cleveland 410

1915— Detroit 4.35

1916— Milwaukee 372

The receipts from all sources last
vear were $3,151.90; this year they have
been $5,829.85.

Mention The Review when ynn write.

So much from the association's side;
the results are quite tangible and satis-
factory. From the members' point of
view it is not quite jilain what addi-
tional benefit has been received through
the additional revenue. Not all the new
money has been expended and plans
work out slowly, so the members ex-
press themselves as content to await
developments, but it seems apparent
that men are needed as well as money
to carry on the work; few members care
to devote their time continuously.

The Opening Session.

The convention program opened at
10 a. m. June 28, but in reality the
meeting began a day earlier, June 27
being devoted to a conference of the
officers and executive committee with
the members of special committees, and
it was not until after this conference
that most of the reports were complet-
ed. President Welch put the finishing
touches on his address to the members
during the evening of June 27. In
it he discussed the results of the year
and the work that must be done to com-
plete the reorganization and develop its
new activities.

Followin|^ the presentation of the
other officers' reports the balance of
the morning was devoted to a discussion
of the new organization, although J. B.
Mayhew, of Waxahachie, Tex., father
of the plan, who had been assigned the
place at the head of the program under
the title "A Greater American Associa-
tion of Nurserymen," was absent, ill.
The attendance was the largest in years
and a great many were heard. While
the discussion was somewhat rambling
in character, the general sentiment was
one of approval and a desire to see the
plan carried forward.

The Business Year.

The annual reports of the secretary
and treasurer were of special interest
this time, as indicating the success of
the reorganization.

Secretary Hall's report included the
following:

"Predictions were made by some that
Article I of the new constitution, creat-
ing 'active' and 'associate' members,
and introducing the plan calling for
'additional' dues based on amount of
business done, would work disastrously
to the association. The results to date
do not show such to have been the case.
They have rather justified the wisdom
of the adoption of the new rule, for,
without any canvass for new members,
the Badge Book contains 364 names and
eight others have registered since that
publication was mailed. The cash re-
ceipts for the year have been $5,829.85,
against $3,151.90 in 1915. For several
years effort has been made by specially
appointed committees to obtain new
members, but the favorable response
given' to the invitation was largely in-
tended as a compliment to the individ-
ual soliciting the membership and there-
fore was not permanent.

"Your executive committee has
passed favorably upon twenty-one of
the twenty-four applications for new
memberships, but after careful investi-
gation has felt compelled to decline the
other three. To hold membership in
this association frQm this time on will
mean much more to the individual nur-
seryman who enjoys the privilege than
the mere perfunctory act of registra-
tion.

"For the last six years the average
registration has been 378. It ought to
be twice that number.

Rightly as well as inevitably, the
work of a national trade organization
benefits the whole body of the trade,
non-members as well as members. In
order to give members something non-
members do not get, under the new plan
a portion of the sessions will be execu-
tive. The first of these was held on
the afternoon" of June 28. It was de-
voted to reports and their discussion,
as follows:

Report of Leifislative Committee — East: Wm.
Pltlcin, Rochester, N. Y. West: Peter Youngers,
Geneva, Neb.

Review of Work of Counsel During the Year,

"Who Shall Receive Trade Prices?" John H.
Dayton, Painesville, O.

"A Safe Non-warranty Clause for Nursery-
men"— Luther A. Bre<!k, liCxington, Mass.

The evening of June 28 was left open
for the annual meetings of the protec-
tive associations and the state vice-
presidents, the latter for the purpose of
preparing a slate for the nomination of
officers.

The Trade Exhibits.

The trades' display never has been a
strong feature of the A. A. N. conven-
tion in spite of the large volume of
business done between the members
and, as not infrequently has been the
case, the exhibitors this year are largely
those who make advertising matter for

MERRY CHRISTMAS

FIVE YEARS AGO we offered you Pocahontas, with the assurance that it would soon displace all other

crimsons. Some of you bought it and were glad. Others turned it down and later on regretted having done

so. That is why the demand for the cuttings was fully double the supply this past winter. This is not

meant for a complaint, but merely to caution you not to make the same mistake with Merry Christmas. We

believe that Merry Christmas will take the same, place among scarlets that Pocahontas holds among the
crimsons. If you have confidence in our judgment, send us your order now and get in on the early deliveries. Dissemina-
tion begins next December.

feeding. You must feed to get good
blooms, but get a good plant first. In
every case I have found that more
money can be earned per square foot by
growing the mums on two or three
stems. Pompons are much in favor
here. This is due to the fact that more
artistic table decorations are being used
and the pompons lend themselves to all
types of artistic wdrk.

Kumor has it that Max Kaiser has
bought ten acres of land in the Golden
valley, Minneapolis. Surely there is
room for it, Max. Go to it, and more
power to you! Most of the importa-
tions of palms from Belgium were
slightly soft, on account of the long
time in transit. Still, they missed the
tin whales.

Old-fashioned, sweet smelling flowers
had the places of honor June 21 at the
State Horticultural Society 's exhibition,
held at the university farm. Straw-
berries were the only fruit exhibited.
Luscious specimens were displayed on
a long table. There were some newly
named varieties, including Progressive,
Americus and Superb. H. G. Groat, of
Anoka, carried off the first and only
prize offered in this field. Thousands
of people visited the building during
the day, in course of which a lecture
on bee keeping and demonstrations of
pruning and spraying were given.

It has been a busy week for most of
the fiorists. Wedding decorations have
been numerous and Miss H. B. Whitted
did a great deal in that line last week.
Many beautiful homes and churches
have been exquisitely decorated by her.

Business in cut flowers is good all
over the city, largely on account of
the numerous weddings. The most com-
monly seen flowers at present are the
peonies. Hundreds and hundreds of
these are grown all about Minneapolis,
causing a great display of them in the
stores, with extremely low prices.

The New York Florists are doing a
big business in potted plants. They
have a large assortment of plants suited
for garden and window boxes.

Florists all about the city have splen-
did displays of plants and flowers and
all report business good. The weather
is getting warmer and everything out-
doors is doing nicely. P. E. B.

The Market.

The week saw a decided change in
conditions. Summer heat has arrived
at last and business has decreased mate-
rially; yet it has been good, considering
that the dull summer months are here.
Bain has been on the program at some
time of the day for several days, but
now appearances are for a week of sun-
. shine.

There are plenty of flowers for all
purposes at present. Gladioli are the
most abundant of all. I have seen a
white which I think the best that ever
came to the market. It is a new va-
riety. Baron Hulot is having a good
run. The growers are shipping quanti-
ties of mums at present. More and
more each season we produce plants
for the trade. There is no good reason
why !Nashville should not become one
of the good trade centers for supplying
the smaller growers of the south. We
are well located, with good shipping fa-
cilities to the south and southwest.

Various Notes.

The Joy Floral Co. is making exten-
sive improvements at its range this
summer. A pump with a working ca-
pacity of 3,000 gallons per minute has
been installed. The new well has been
tested by pumping with this pump for
ten hours»without lowering the water
an inch. The company has laid 6-inch
water mains, putting in over 1,300 feet
of 5 and 6-inch pipe. There will soon
be water over the entire place.

Mclntyre Bros, were rushing the re-
filling of their benches with new soil
and planting next year's crops when I
called last week. They have the best
block of blue spruce I have ever seen
growing this far south.

Geny Bros, have had a good run of
wedding decorations of late. Oscar
Geny is improving slowly.

This season has been a phenomenal
one for the amateur sweet pea grower.
I see boys hawking them on the streets
everywhere I go, a new experience for

Creenhonse Heating.

CHANGING THE HEATING SYSTEM.

Having decided to change the heat-
ing system in my greenhouse from
steam to hot water, I should like to get
some information on the subject. I
shall install a sectional boiler. The
house is 21 x 100 and has 12-foot sash-
bars. It has one glass gable. The sides
are four feet high and contain two and
one-half feet of glass. What should be
the rating of the' boiler? Could 1,000
feet of 1^-inch pipe, which was used
for steam, be used satisfactorily for hot
water! State the number of flows, their
size, and how theyr should be placed.
Could the pipes for the side benches be
placed on the walls, so as not to inter-
fere with raising chickens under the
bench?

How many more feet of l^/^-inch pipe
will be necessary, besides the 1,000 feet,
to heat the house to a temperature of
50 to 60 degrees in zero weather? What
valves and couplings should be used and
where should they be placed so as to
make a safe, reliable system? How
deep should the boiler pit be? Where
and how should the expansion tank be
placed? Are hot water systems ar-
ranged with valves, so one part of the
system can be cut oflf and the other

{>art . used, in case of breakdowns or
eaks? The greenhouse extends north
and south and the boiler room is at the
north end. There are two side benches
and two in the center.

G. R. S.— Pa.

For a night temperature of 60 de-
grees, not far from 900 square feet of
radiation will be required and this will
need a boiler with a grate having about
six square feet of surface, or a capacity
of ten horsepower.

To heat the house, we would place a
2%-inch flow pipe upon each plate and
another three feet under the ridge. The
1,000 feet of 1^-inch pipe will make
ten returns, four of which should be
placed upon each wall, and the others
should be under one of the middle
benches. In addition, four 1^/4 -inch or
three 2-inch returns will be needed to
give the required radiating surface.
These, with the two returns already
mentioned, should be distributed under
the middle benches and connected with
the overhead flow pipe, while the re-
turns on the walls should be joined with
the flows located on the plates. The
flows should be given a fall of one inch
in ten to fifteen feet, or just enough to
keep the air from pocketing, and the
expansion tank should be connected

TheKroeschell

is making the most
wonderful greenhouse
heating record in the
world. Florists who
have used other nflikes
are constantly giving
the Kroeschell the
highest praise.

1S.468,S20 SQ. ft.
of glass was equippea
with the Kroeschell
Boiler during the past
five years.

The Kroeschell

is used by hundreds
of Florists' Review
readers and mighty is
their praise. The year
of 1916 brought an
enormous number of
new customers who
saw our boilers in
operation at other
places. We attribute
the large sales of this
season to the good
work the Kroeschell
Boiler is doing every-
where.

With our policy—" tlie cnstomers* interest first "—perfection of constrnction
—factory to user prices- lionest and "true bine" boiler ratings— you simply
cannot lose.

READ WHAT THE USERS SAY:

Dubuque. Iowa. Nov. 28. 1916.
Gentlemen:— I wish to report that I have used my No. 45 Kroescliell
Watar Tuba Steam Bollar for the past two seasons, and will ^ay I could not
compare it with my former boiler, as it is so far superior in every way that
there is no comparison whatever. It does the work of two tubular steam boil-
ers—saves fuel— needs less attention, as the fire lasts much longer- is easily
cleaned, there being no flues to clean every night, as was the case with the old
boilers. If I should need another boiler I would not think of buying any other
kind. With best wishes, I remain. Yours very truly.

(Signed) S. E. MUNTZ.

READ WHAT THE USERS SAY:

Walton, N. Y.. Jan. 4. 1916.
Gentlemen:— Your N«^7 No. 46 Water Tube Steam Boiler is the finest
steam boiler we have ever fired, and have fired eleven different makes before.
Your boiler keeps steam from 9:00 p. m. to 6:0« a. m.. without attention on zero
nights. Before we had three boilers and could not control temperatures so easily
as we can with yours. The little time consumed in cleaning same is wonder-
ful, and we are very well pleased. The water line is steady and it holds its
steam well. If we ever install another boiler, you can rest assured it will be a
Kroeschell. If I can be of any assistance to you in showing your boiler to
anyone, would be pleased to do so. or if anyone in your locality wants local
reference, I will gladly give same.

Walton. N. Y.. Jan. 10. 1916.
Gentlemen:— Since writing you on Jan. 4th, the other morning it went down
to 4<' below zero, and I flted the No. 46 boiler at 11:10 p. m.: had 10 lbs. of steam
on with the draft half open, the houses all registering iS" to 52° and the No. 4
house 60''. We bricked in our boiler, so we lose no heat in the boiler room: we
find it a great saving. Any other information cheerfully given.

Yours respectfully. (Signed) TRIPP FLORAL CO.

When possible to do so, the expansion
tank should be placed ten to fifteen feet
above the flows, but it may be at any
point above the highest part of the

We would place a 2i^-inch gate valve
upon each of the flows, near where it
enters the greenhouse, or just inside,
and if desired a valve may be used upon
one pipe in each coil. Especially when
using returns as small as iMs-inch in a
house 100- feet long, it is desirable to

EQUIPMENT FOB BUBNTNO OIL.

In recent issues of The Eeview I have
noted frequent references to the use of
oil as fuel in greenhouse boilers and I
was especially impressed by the prac-
ticability of E. W. Kersey's oil-burning
apparatus, as described by him in The
Eeview of May 25, page 80, under the
title of "Equipment for Burning Oil."
Mr. Kersey said, in part:

"We are burning crude oil under our
Lord & Burnham hot water boilers, No.
646, using as power a i^-horsepower
self-starting motor, connected by a belt
to a No. 3 Eoot's positive-pressure
blower. The rotary oil pump is also
belt-driven; it pumps the oil from a
large oil tank sunk in the ground. The
oil pump has a three-quarter intake and
can be procured from the Crane Co.,
Chicago. Wp use about thirty to thirty-
five pounds of pressure on the burner.
Now as to the way we operate our
system. The oil as it is pumped from
the tank is run through a C. C. strainer
before it reaches the pump; then
through a coil which we run into one
of the flues to heat the oil; then into
a water separator, as there seems to be
more or less water in the oil; then into
the burjwc, which is operated by a nee-
dle valve, to give the desired force of
flame. We made tbe water separator
out of an old steam trap. Unless the
water is separated from the oil, it is
liable to cause trouble."

Can Mr. Kersey give me an approxi-
mate idea of the cost of such an outfit
as he describes? If he can do so, the
information may be of interest to many
others as well as to myself.

J. B.— Can.

Our oil-burning plant was largely
homemade and cost about $150, includ-
ing the following items:

^-horsepower self-starting G. E. motor.

about $50.00

Two C. C. strniners, 1-lnch 5.00

Rotary oil pump 10.00

Pressure gaufre a.5#.

Oil tank, 1200-ganon 25.00

Water separator 5.00

Two leather belts 6.00

Pipe and fittings 25.00

Burner 25.00

We made our own burner and water
separator, and we had all kinds of
pipes and fittings. So you see, if one
can do most of the work himself, the
cost is not so much. We received a
quotation on the same plant as ours;
the price charged was around $500 and
we know the outfit would not do any
better work than ours. In fact, we are
perfectly satisfied, with the way ours
works. Much depends on the way the
boiler is made; that is, in regard to fin-
ing with fire brick. That problem one
has to work out for himself, but it does
not take long. If J. B. would submit
a drawing of his boiler, I could help
him out in that respect.

The Market.

The market last week was unusually
brisk for this season of the year. Com-
mencements are about over and busi-
ness has settled down for the summer.
Weddings were numerous last week and
called for a good quantity of flowers.
Peonies, syringa blooms, snapdragons
and roses were used mostly in decora-
tive work.

Peas, roses and pther greenhouse-
grown stock are becoming scarce, espe-
cially carnations. Many of the local
growers are emptying the carnation
houses. However, the quality of the
carnations is exceptionally fine. The
supply of roses is good and the quality
is fair. Mrs. Chas. Eussell and Shawyer
are holding up well. Killarneys are ar-
riving in the shorter grades and open
quickly. Ophelia, Sunburst and Ward
roses are of good quality and meet with
a fine demand for Wedding bouquets.
Peonies are in good supply and the
home-grown crop is coming into the
market in large numbers. Gladioli are
here, but they are none too plentiful.
Miniature gladioli are over for the sea-
son. Cattleyas are in short supply. Val-
ley is plentiful and the wholesale prices
are stiff. The demand is excellentr'
Easter lilies are plentiful. Sweet peas
are becoming scarce, but outdoor flow-
ers are more plentiful. Delphiniums
have made their appearance. In bloom-
ing plants crimson ramblers and hy-
drangeas are tne leaders. There is a
good demand for adiantum and Aspara-
gus plumosus. The supply is adequate.

Various Notes.

Miss E. Lanternier gave a party at
the Jefferson theater June 20 in honor
of one of the June brides. Eoses deco-
rated the refreshment table and flowers
were given as favors.

HOUSED CARNATIONS WITH
LOSS OF BUT 2% OF CROP

This is what the Wisley Greenhouses, of
Murphysboro, III., write us:

"August, 1914, we housed oar carnations
when it was one hundred in the shade and
without the loss of but 2% of the crop.
We thought this was something remarka-
ble, for which we give all credit to the
Skinner System of Irrigation. By this
System we were able to keep the tempera-
ture down and at the same time keep the
foliage damp enough to prevent wilting, as
well as not soaking the roots. Your Sys-
tem is worth the price of installation dur-
ms carnation planting time alone."-

The Market.

Trade has been holding up excep-
tionally well. June has been an un-
usually cool month, until the last few
days, and this has hetped business.
Flowers are plentiful. Roses and car-
nations are of good quality, save Amer-
ican Beauties, which are showing the
effects of the warmer weather. Lilies
are plentiful and are finding a good
market. Outdoor stock, such as Shasta
daisies, delphiniums, coreopsis, sweet
Williams, etc., is finding a good call.

Various Notes.

The A. Wiegand's Sons Co. is finish-
ing a 36-foot greenhouse.

John Bertermaftn soon will be in his
new residence at the Cumberland place.
Mr. Bertermann has remodeled his for-
mer residence.

Hartje & Elder have, completed three
houses, which soon will be ready for
planting. This firm has kept the trade
well supplied with high-grade del-
phiniums.

Baur & Steinkamp have been sending
in some fine potted hydrangeas.

Elmer Shrader, with Wiegand's, has
been on the sick list for the last ten
days.

The Smith & Young Co. has been

meet requirements, as are sweet peas
and gladioli. Outdoor flowers are in
large supply.

BUFFALO.

The Maxket.

The conditions of the market last
week were irregular. Active moments
wer^ mingled with dull ones. Never-
thei^; shipping trade continued to be
satisfactory.

Beauties continue to sell well, at a
good price. There is always a ready
sale for the good grades, while stock
of inferior quality is inclined to drag.
As usual, there is a large supply of
poor stock, with no outlet. Eussell and
Ophelia roses remain in the lead. Rich-
mond is receding; Francis Scott Key is
taking its place. Hadley is enjoying a
fair sale. Carnations at present are
clearing better than roses and their
quality is good. There are not so many
soft and split carnations as usual.

Peonies of inferior grade are more
than plentiful; good ones also are abun-
dant. The prices range from $2 to $8
per hundred. Easter lilies have been
in heavy demand and the supply seems
to be limited. Callas are few and of
smaller size. The orchid situation is be-
ginning to ease up somewhat, but val-
ley is as scarce as ever, with no im-
mediate relief in sight. Sweet peas are
not so plentiful, especially in the good
grades. Short peas are a drug in the
market and their sale is slow. Daisies
are becoming small and scarce. With
the continuous rains, outdoor daisies do
not reach the market in salable condi-
tion. Good snapdragon is seen in the
market occasionally. Lavender and yel-
low irises always sell readily. Corn-
flowers are in good demand. Aspara-
gus plumosus and Sprengeri are again
copious. Fancy ferns are more abun-
dant.

COMPETING WITH ^
CEMETERY COMPANIES

The Review of June 22, in reply to an inquiry about cemetery associ-
ations that enter into competition with florists, stated briefly the essential
facts to he considered. The present article, with its comprehensive treat- ,
ment of the points at issue, was written for The Review by an attorney who
has made a search of the authorities.

S A CEMETERY associa-
tion legally entitled to
engage in the florists*
business, either as a part
of the cemetery manage-
ment, refusing outside flo-
rists permission to do
work for lot owners in the
cemetery, or in competi-
tion generally with flo-
rists outside the cemetery? Under the
authoritative court decisions which I
review below, I reach an opinion that,
as a general rule, a cemetery associa-
tion may monopolize the floral patron-
age of its cemetery, so far as is reason-
ably necessary to secure a uniform
scheme of ornamentation, provided
there be no ^mjust discrimination, no ex-
tortionate charges under the monopoly,
and nothing in contracts, express or im-
plied, with the lot owners requiring a
contrary conclusion.

Limits of Cemetery's Bights.

But so long as lot owners are per-
mitted to do their own planting, I doubt
the validity of a regulation purporting
to prevent them from having it done
by outside florists, conformably to any
fixed plan of ornamentation
adopted by the cemetery
authorities.

And, under the law cited
below, I am equally clear
in opinion that unless a
cemetery association's char-
ter expressly authorizes it
to engage in the florists'
business generally, it is not
entitled to engage in trade
outside the cemetery, ex-
cept, possibly, for the pur-
pose of disposing of sur-
plus stock grown in good
faith for use in the ceme-
tery but left on hand.

If there are eases where
the laws and charter under
which a cemetery associa-
tion exists are broad
enough to authorize it to
engage in the distinct pur-
suits of furnishing pjfices
for the burial of the dead
an^ of conducting a gen-
eral florists' establishment,
I show below that they
should not be permitted to
slip by the tax assessor, so
far as concerns property
devoted solely to the last
named business.

The right of a cemetery

association to monopolize the work of
floral ornamentation of graves and lots
first raises question as to the nature
and extent of the title and control of
lot owners. That title to a burial lot
is not absolute in the sense in which
ordinary real estate may be so held, all
the courts agree. The owner may
make burials in the lot, and courts will
award him relief against desecration of
the ground, but the judicial authorities
show that cemetery authorities have
broad powers to regulat? the use of
lots — not arbitrary powers, but a dis-
cretion to be exercised in the interest
of the public at large.

The Bights of Lot Owners.

In an early case, the Massachusetts
Supreme Judicial court declared that
the right of lot owners after burial of
their dead is * ' limited to acts of preser-
vation and embellishment; and even
these must in some degree be restricted
by the opinTon of those who represent
the general taste and feeling of the
community." (Commonwealth vs. Viall,
2 Allen Reports, 515.)

The leading case here pertinent
seems to be that of Cedar Hill Ceme-

RIGHTS OF CEMETERY-

In order to maintain a uniform scheme of decoration, a
cemetery association has a right to control the planting
on its grounds, and hence may sometimes be legally
sustained in excluding the work of outside florists.

WHEN CEMETERY EXCEEDS RI6HTS-

If a cemetery permits lot owners to do their own plant-
ing, but at the same time prohibits them from engaging
outside florists to do the work, such procedure is incon-
sistent and probably would hot be upheld by the courts.

A cemetery usually is not entitled to engage in outside
trade in competition with florists, except, possibly, to
dispose of surplus stock.

If a cemetery is allowed, by its charter and the k)cal
laws, to sell stock in the public markets, it should not
escape the payment of taxes on such parts of its prop-
erty as are used in such competitive trade.

THE LEGAL REMEDY-

When a cemetery exceeds its legal rights, to the detri-
ment of the florists in the vicinity, they may protect
themselves, individually or collectively, by an appeal to
r. the courts, bringing suit as a taxpayer or in the name
of a lot owner.

tery Co. vs. Lees, 22 Pennsylvania Su-
perior Court Reports, 405. It appeared
that the company had adopted the fol-
lowing regulation:

"To prevent confusion from the in-
troduction of a variety of workmen,
the trustees have made arrangements
to have all the excavating, as well as
the building of foundations for en-
closures and for monuments, the sod-
ding of lots and graves and cutting of
grass, planting of flowers, shrubbery,
and trimming of the same, etc., per-
formed under the direction of the su-
perintendent at moderate prices."

A gardener employed by lot owners
was given two or three months' no-
tice that after the first of the next
year he would not be permitted to con-
tinue to trim lots in the cemetery, and
the suit was brought to test the valid-
ity of the regulation above quoted.

A Fixed Scheme of Imi>royement.

The court sustained the rule, in
the following language, which has
strong application to the right to ex-
clude outside florists, since floral orna-
mentation enters upon any scheme of
improvement to a more important de-
gree than mere trimming
of grass:

* * Ordinarily, a cemetery
is laid out and planned ac-
cording to a fixed scheme
as to improvement, ♦ • •
thch character of trees and
shrAbery to be planted,
and ornamentation in gen-
eral. Anything which in-
terferes with this general
scheme is not only detri-
mental and injurious to the
scheme itself, but to every
lot which enters into the
combination. It is of the
first importance, therefore,
that the association should
assume and retain the ab-
solute control, as is subject
to be done in and by the
deeds of conveyance and
by the by-laws and regula-
tions of the plaintiff com-
pany, of the erection of
monuments and partitions
between lots, the planting
of trees and shrubbery and
the general subject of orna-
mentation. This, in the na-
ture of the case, can be
done ^ly under the super-
vision 01 one person, and
in this case that person is '

The Rorists* Review

Jolt 6, 1916.

the superintendent of the cemetery, who
acts under the direction of, and is sup-
posed to be familiar with the plans
and purposes and general scheme of
improvements of, the association.

• * * It is difficult to see how the
rights of individual lot owners in re-
spect to those things which are or may
become objectionable to adjacent lots
can be properly conserved without some
general and indeed exclusive control of
the ornamentation of all lots, as is
provided for in the by-laws to which
exception is taken. ♦ ♦ • There is
no objection to the regulation of the
plaintiff association on the ground of
excessive charges or that the work
necessary to be done in and about the
care of the lots of lot owners has not
been faithfully and tastefully per-
formed whenever requested."

In view of the last quoted sentence
of the decision, it is clear that an asso-
ciation is not entitled to monopolize the
floral patronage of a cemetery for the
purpose of profit, and that the case
serves as no precedent to enable an
association to exclude outside florists
for any other reason than to secure a
uniform scheme of ornamentation.

No Arbitrary ControL

Limitation upon the power of asso-
ciations is defined in the following lan-
guage of the Connecticut Supreme Court
of Errors in the case of State vs.
Scoville, 78 Connecticut Reports, 90,
wherein the court sustained the valid-
ity of the rule giving the officers of an
association control over the planting
and trimming of herbage on lots:

"It is argued that the effect, if not
the object, of this particular provision
of the by-law, is to enable the associa-
tion to arbitrarily control the cutting
of grass, etc., for other reasons than
to secure the proper care and manage-
ment of the burial lots. Such is not its
effect, and we have no- reason to treat
it as passed for that purpose. It may
serve, and was presumably intended to
serve, the lawful purpose of enabling
the association to secure the proper
care and management of burial lots.

• • * Possibly a different question
would have been presented in this case,
had it been shown that the president
or superintendent of the association
had arbitrarily refused to permit a lot
holder, or one acting under his author-
ity, to cut the grass upon such owner's
lot, when such cutting could in no way
have affected or interfered with the
proper care or management of the
cemetery."

Help Hired by Lot Owners.

The foregoing discussion presupposes
that an association has reserved the
right to regulate the improvement of
lots, and has not given lot owners the
right to do work themselves. In this
view there is no conflict of judicial au-
thority raised by the decision of the
New York Supreme court in the case
of Johnstown Cemetery Association vs.
Parker, 59 New York Supplement, 821,
to the effect that where the deeds under
which cemetery lots were sold gave the
holders the right to cultivate shrubbery,
etc., subject to removal of improper
objects by the association, the associa-
tion could not interfere with the lot
owners in cutting weeds, etc. And the
Maryland Court of Appeals decided
that where an association had recog-
nized, for more than twenty years, the

rights of owners to construct their
own improvements, employees of the
owners could not afterward be prevent-
ed from making improvements under
direction of such owners. (Silverwood
vs. Latrobe, 13 Atlantic Reporter, 161.)
I find no decision which draws any
distinction between the right of a lot
owner to do planting on lots and to
have the work done by a florist, and
the reasoning of the above cited cases
shows that no such distinction can be
fairly drawn. Hence I am of the opin-
ion that the courts would hold a rule
of an association purporting to permit
an owner to care for his lot, but forbid-
ding his employment of an outside flo-
rist, to be void for unreasonableness.

Competition In Outside Business.

tion, we pass to the question whether
an association may lawfully compete
with regular florists in outside business.
My opinion that, under ordinary cir-
cumstances, they may not do so is based
on the following cited authorities:

"Judicial decisions abound in gen-
eral statements of doctrine to the ef-
fect that corporations possess only
such powers as are expressly granted,
or such as are necessary to carry into
effect the powers expressly granted."
(10 Cyc, 1096.)

Engaging in the florists' business
within the limits of a cemetery for the
purpose of ornamenting lots and graves,
within the scope of the legal doctrine
hereinbefore discussed, may be sup-
ported as a reasonable incident to the
preservation of graves. But I read the
law as making it as far foreign to the
powers of a cemetery association to en-
gage in the general business of a florist
outside the cemetery as it would be for
the association to attempt to conduct
a butcher shop or dry goods store, ex-
cept that the courts would probably
hold that any surplus stock remaining
in good faith after supplying cemetery
patronage might be disposed of in out-
side trade. This holding would accord
with a recent decision of a state su-

preme court to the effect that an elec-
tric street railway company might dis-
pose of surplus power to private con-
sumers, although not empowered by its
charter to sell power generally.

Public Batlier Than Private.

There are numerous decisions support-
ing the view that cemetery associations
are restricted in the business in which
they may engage.

"The purposes for which cemetery
corporations may be organized are pub-
lic rather than private, and the lands
acquired by such corporations, and de-
voted to the purposes of burial, are held
in trust for public, rather than private,
use. * « « The one purpose for
which such corporations may be or-
ganized is * * * the * procuring and
holding lands to be used exclusively
for a cemetery or place for the burial
of the dead.' * * ♦ The proceeds
of sales are to be applied to the pay-
ment of any debts incurred by the asso-
ciation in the purchase of cemetery
grounds and property, and in the im-
proving and necessary care and man-
agement of the same, 'and t&r no other
purpose.' No purpose of private gain
or benefit is contemplated by the law,
but only the accomplishment, through
such corporate agencies, of the same
public purposes which, in the absence of
such a statute, or in the event of no
such corporations being organized,
would generally be accomplished by the
exercise of powers conferred upon
towns, villages and cities." (Wolford
vs. Crystal Lake Cemetery Association,
54 Minnesota Reports, 440.)

A corporation organized to establish
a public cemetery cannot be adapted
to the acquisition of profits by the di-
rectors and incorporators. (Brown vs.
Maplewood Cemetery Association, 85
Minnesota Reports, 498.)

Not for Personal Profit.

In the last cited case, the court aptly
said that it was inconceivable that the
tax exemption and other privileges ac-
corded cemetery associations "should
be granted for the purpose of aiding
schemes for private profit."

"It is to secure permanence of
'God's acre' that cemetery corporations
are restricted to burial purposes, and
cannot engage and involve their prop-
erty in general corporation activities.
If the cemetery could take up general
stock corporation enterprises, a reverse
might lead to a sequestration of its
funds and so reach and absorb the per-
manent investments sacredly devoted to
its preservation and the care of me-
morials of the dead." (Grace vs. Re-
pose Mausoleums, Inc., 78 New York
Miscellaneous Reports, 213.)

The Kansas Supreme court added its
view to this doctrine in the case of
Davis vs. Coventry, 65 Kansas Reports,
563, where it was said of a cemetery
association: "Is this corporation pub-
lic or for profit? Many reasons may
be found in the law for concluding that
it is public and none supporting the
contrary idea. For instance, the prop-
erty so platted and held is exempt from
taxation. • • • No reason can be
suggested why a private cemetery cor-
poration operated for profit should re-
ceive any more grace at the hands of
the legislature than a private corpora-
tion organized for any other purpose. ' '

charter of an association organized
thereunder in an exceptional case be
80 worded as to legally entitle the asso-
ciation to conduct ' a general florists '
establishment, as well as a cemetery,
there can be no doubt that so far as
the association's assets and other prop-
erty are devoted to the business of a
florist they are just as much subject to
taxation as is the business property of
a regular florist. In addition to the
judicial statements above quoted and
having' a bearing on this point, I cite
the following authority:

"A cemetery conducted as a mere
source of private or corporate profit is
not within the exemption laws. • • *
Only so much of the land owned [by a
public association] as is used or in-
tended for burial purposes is exempt,
and not other portions which are used
for entirely different purposes, or rented
out. * ♦ • The exemption » * »
will not include personal property, such
as horses, hearses, carriages, tools and
other articles used for burial or about
their cemeteries, or funds, investments,
or securities owned by the cemetery
association." (37 Cyc, 945<946.)

Legal Bemedies Available.

From what has been said, it must be
clear that many associations are vul-
nerable to legal attack in their opera-
tions as commercial florists. When
such attack is made, important ques-
tions are apt to arise relative to the
party or parties in whose name suit
must be brought, but they present mat-
ters for determination by counsel who
direct the proceedings, as affected by
differing statutes and association char-
ters. There is a general rule of law
that a corporation may be ousted from
the exercise of powers not within the
scope of its charter only by suit brought
by the attorney-general of the state,
but there are authorities, including the
second Minnesota decision above cited,
showing that persons injuriously af-
fected by an association 's abuse of au-
thority have standing enabling them to
maintain suit in their own names, and
it is not to be doubted that any lot
owner is entitled to restrain continua-
tion of any practice by the cemetery
authorities which prejudices his inter-
ests in an unlawful manner. S.

BOUQUETS WHILE BBIDES WAIT.

Mobilizing the national guard on
the call of the President has presented
some curious problems for florists. For
instance, there is the one who belongs
to the guard and who was caught with
no trained assistant to carry on the
business; and the one whose entire
force of two assistants had used the
armory as a clubhouse and who left the
proprietor with three men's work to do.

But most interesting has been the
resourcefulness of the florist, in the
vicinity of a mobilization camp, called
upon at unseemly hours to provide
flowers while the wedding party waited.

CALENDULAS AND COBNTLOWEES.

Will you please tell me the proper
time to plant the seeds of calendulas
and bachelor's buttons to have plants
in bloom next winter and spring?
Please give the general cultural direc-
tions for both. What varieties of these
are best suited for forcing?

R. B.— Wis.

The largest and most successful spe-
cialists in bachelor's buttons under
glass sow their seeds in June or July,
set out the young plants in the field
and then lift and plant them in the
houses in September. The plants are
then quite large and need careful han-
dling to prevent wilting. They are
planted in solid beds in rows twenty-
four inches apart, with fifteen inches
between the plants. The supports given
are similar to those used for carnations,

wires running lengthwise and strings
crosswise. The plants under glass will
grow four to six feet high. (Later
batches may be sown in small pots and
later planted out. If they are sown
where they are to flower, be sure to
thin out the seedlings well, if you want
fine flowers on long stems. If treated
well bachelor's buttons in winter will
realize about as much money as Carna-
tions. Thrips and spider are the two
foes that must be guarded against.

Calendulas may be sown where they
are to flower. They need considerable
room to spread, being of a robust habit.
Sow seeds in August for winter flower-
ing. A temperature of 48 to 50 degrees
at night suits both bachelor's buttons
and calendulas in winter. The double
blue cornflower sells best, but it will
pay you to plant some pink. This color
proved popular last season. Lemon
Queen and Orange King are the best
calendulas to grow. The last-named
sells most easily. C. W.

CABNATION SUPPORTS.

Supports a Necessity.

Many growers would not think of us-
ing patent carnation supports; many
would not try to grow carnations with-
out them. The purpose of this article
is to discuss the essentials of an ef-
ficient support, thus making clear why
some patent supports have failed to
make good.

It is an undisputed fact that carna-
tions will not properly develop if no
supporting is used. Some twenty-five
years ago, this fact was realized, but
the importance of having a carefully
designed and easily applied arrange-
ment was not then fully felt. Since it
now merely is a question of what sort
of support should be used, our topic
is narrowed to the consideration of
properties most desired in a support.

Naturally, the first requisite of a
support is that it hold up the plant.
Holding the plant erect demands that it
be stiff and rigid, both in design and
material. Perhaps the next most im-
portant feature of a satisfactory sup-
port is its property of packing closely
when knocked down between seasons.
If it cannot be handled in this manner
it takes entirely too much room ' and
perhaps is greatly damaged when not
in use.

The Height Adjustment.

A good support should be easily ad-
justed in height to the growing plant.
As the plants grow, the rings should
be so arranged that they can be
raised or increased in number. This
operation of raising the height of the
support should in no way bend or weak-
en the support if it is properly de-
signed. A patent support should be so
devised that it can be erected in from
one-half to one-third the time that is
necessary where the string and wire
method is used. This has already been
accomplished with some makes and this
saving is quite important.

The principal advances of the last
century are those made in the inven-
tion and adoption of time-saving con-
trivances. Why should the florist be
less interested than other aggressive
men in the adoption of economical ap-
paratus?

Perhaps the florist in years past has
been aggressive and has invested in a
particular make of support that was not
intelligently designed. Perhaps his fore-
man refused to use them a second sea-
son and the dump pile got them. The
writer has seen several loads of such
junk decorating river banks in some of
his trampings. Naturally such an in-
dividual would feel skeptical about buy-
ing other patent supports, but the de-
sign of a good support no more resem-
bles a poor one tham a blind nag at
20 years resembles a 5-year-old show
horse. Of course they are both horses,
but horses are different.

The Pilncipai Essentials.

In some of the successful designs all
the supports of a bench fasten together.
They must be rigid and each should
help support the rest. This tying to-
gether must be carefully planned to ob-
tain the maximum supporting strength
with the minimum use of wire. This
is an advantage in price, as well as an
advantage in having no unnecessary
wire in the grower's way.

The method of fastening the rings to
the stakes has been another stumbling
block for the makers of supports. Many
slipshod, ineflBcient methods have been
tried. A simple, self-tying arrangement
should be used that will insure a rapid
and firm tying of the stakes to the
rings, without the use of any additional
wires or clips.

The size of rings is a less important
feature, as the various makes are rather
uniform in this respect. About six and
one-half or seven inches in diameter is
the size that seems best adapted to the
carnation and most convenient to the
grower in working around the supports.

No galvanized wire is too good for
use in making carnation supports. They
are daily subjected to water and are
in constant contact with the wet foli-
age. For this reason it is unprofitable
to invest in supports that are made
with thinly galvanized wire.

The fewer stakes in the way of the
grower and the more room between
rows across the bench, the easier it is
for the grower to do his work. Some
makes of supports have as many as
three stakes to every plant for sup-
porting the rings, but other makes, that
are rigid, accomplish their work with
only half as many stakes as plants.

The Advertising Viewpoint.

• The neatness of the houses is really
an important feature of a florist's ad-
vertising. If one is located near a
cemetery this feature is doubly worth
consideration, as visitors are numerous.
If the houses are equipped with up-to-
the-minute supports, all the same
height, in regular rows, holding the
plants up with light and air between
the rows, they will present a wonder-
fully neat appearaace and go a long
way toward impressing customers fa-
vorably.

It cannot be denied that an efficient
support insures straighter stems as well
as straighter cuttings. This is worth
dollars to any florist.

I maintain that an ideal support
should have as many rings in each set
as the grower has carnations in a short
row crosswise of his bench. This in-
sures that the supports stay where he
puts them, as each helps to hold the
other in place. This continuous ring
arrangement is not only a time-saver
and convenience in erecting and in tak-
ing down the supports, but it also is
the most efficient means of maintaining
uniform spacing of supports.

Whenever one can procure a support
that has these qualities, he can rest as-
sured that string and wire is an ex-
pensive and sloppy way of handling
the work, even if he figures the mate-
rial cost as nothing.

The Hardy Perennial Garden.

While many people are mourning
over the lack of sunshine and heat dur-
ing May and June and complaining of
the frequent rainfalls, the hardy her-
baceous garden has simply reveled un-
der the climatic conditions that have
existed and never looked more luxur-
iant. The abundant and deep snows of
last winter made a good mulch and
fewer plants died than ever before.
April gave us copious rains and the
lack of excessive heat has caused all
flowers to last remarkably; in fact, the
season has been the finest I have ever
experienced for hardy border plants.

June is unquestionably the month par
excellence for herbaceous perennials,
and borders now are remarkably attrac-
tive and carry a great wealth of flow-
ers. It is at this season, while there
is so much floral beauty, that we must
take note of our needs for another sea-
son and prepare to supply them.

While some viarieties ai'e best in-
creased from cuttings, as, for example,
phloxes, and others from root cuttings,
of which the Japanese anemones are a

well known example, a large number
may be easily and economically grown
from seed, and the present is a good
time to make liberal sowings of the
more popular varieties. Coldframes are
best for seed sowing, as shade and
water can be carefully given. The
seedlings later can be set out in beds
or nursery rows, during damp, cloudy
weather, and if they are kept well cul-
tivated they will, in the majority of
cases, make strong plants for selling in
the fall or spring.

Delphiniums.

The delphinium now is one of the
most striking flowers in perennial bor-
ders. Spring-sown delphinium seeds
usually give plants that flower the same
year, but sowing done now will furnish
strong plants for fall sales. While for
the average grower it may suffice to
sow a mixed package, or one each of
dark and light blue shades, I would
strongly advise sowing one or two of
the fine, named varieties, such as Clear
Blue, clear blue; King of Delphiniums,
gentian blue; the beautiful Bella-

donna, turquoise-blue; Queen Wilhel-
znina, soft blue; formosum, dark blue;
formosum ecelestinum, pale blue; Eev.
E. Lascelles, purple blue — only to name
a few good sorts.

Do not overlook D. Chinensis, which
may be had in pale blue, deep blue and
pure white colors. It will flower the
same season, but will attain greater
vigor the next season. It is well to re-
mark, however, that the Chinese lark-
spurs, while beautiful and fine for cut-
ting, cannot be classed as more than
biennials. They are, however, so eas-
ily grown from seed that it pays to
grow a fresh batch each season.

Aquilegias, or Columbines.

The aquilegias, or columbines, are in-
dispensable to every florist who wants
a good assortment of hardy perennials.
Like larkspurs, they are grand for cut-
ting and flower for quite a long time.
The long-spurred hybrids are the most
striking. The old doubles are hardier,
but less desirable. While mixed pack-
ets of long-spurred hybrids will usually
give a fine range of varieties, it is well
to sow one or two of the finer named
varieties, such as caerulea, the beautiful
Eocky mountain columbine; glandulosa,
caerulea alba, Haylodgensis and chrys-
antha, pale yellow. A. chrysantha has
more vigor than any other long-spurred
hybrid and may be fairly classed as a
true perennial. Some of the other
choice varieties gradually disappear
after the second year. It is therefore
advisable to have a fresh batch of seed-
lings coming along each year. The
aquilegias would have been better if
sown in March or April, but good plants
still can be had if seed is sown at once.
If you get a really good strain be sure
to save some of your own seed each
year.

Campanulas.

"When one mentions campanulas, some
people immediately conclude that Can-
terbury bells are intended. It is true
that C. Medium is a valuable variety
both for pot culture and early summer
bedding, but it is only a biennial, while
nearly all the other campanulas are
perennials. C. Medium ought to have
been sown some weeks ago, but there
still is time to get plants of flowering
size. The single variety is the best.
The calycanthema, or hose-in-hose va-
riety, is beautiful, but as a pot plant
it needs more careful staking, owing
to its heavier flowers; the same applies
to the double forms.

Of the other campanulas, C. persici-
folia, the peach-leaved bellflower, is
the most valuable. The single blue and
white Moerheimi and the double blue
humosa can only be increased by care-
ful division of the roots. There is no
more stately perennial than C. pyra-
midalis, the giant chimney flower. It
is specially valuable^" for growing in
pots of tubs, to flower in late summer.
It attains a height of six to eight
feet and well grown plants make a
Teally striking show. Seedlings of this
variety should be sown early, grown
outdoors through the summer and pot-
ted in the fall to flower the following
year.

Campanula Carpatica, the Carpathian
bellflower, is splendid for rockeries,
mass effects or edgings. It grows eight
to ten inches high and is studded with
flowers from June until November.
There are a number of varieties of this
campanula, of which Ditton blue is the

visits the Chicago market knows Erne, but few know of the celebration that took
place at Terre Haute, Ind., July 4, 1876. As a boy he spent four years with John G.

ing plants can be had. next season.
Other campanulas worthy of culture are
C. glomerata; C. rotundifolia, the well
known Scotch bluebell; C. Trachelium,

bata and C. Eapunculus. The latter
now carries graceful spikes of blue
flowers.

Digitalis.

There are no more stately and more
beautiful hardy border flowers than
digitalis, or foxgloves. In a cool, moist
season, such as we now have, they
are unusually fine. The spotted and
gloxiniaeflora strains are the most de-
sirable. These may be had in mixed or
separate colors and if sown in July will
make large plants before fall. Sow the
seeds thinly and be sure to transplant
the growths in good season, as the
seedlings grow rapidly. When plant-
ing out in the field, allow a foot be-
tween the plants and two feet between

the rows. A light mulch of str^w or
leaves will carry them through the win-
ter, provided the land where they are
planted is well drained. A heavy mulch
will cause a great proportion of the
plants to rot.

These digitalis are usually treated
as biennials, but they will live for sev-
eral years. Many plants raised last
July carry ten to fifteen spikes each
and make a remarkable showing. The
plants look specially well either in
solid beds, dotted through the borders
of perennials or planted along the edge
of woodlands. In woodlands they will
often naturalize themselves nicely.

HARD-BURNED POTS.

Some years ago, I saw at an amateur
chrysanthepium show mum plants
grown in 1-gallon tin maple sugar cans.
The plants had three to five large flow-
ers. They were twenty inches high,
with luxuriant foliage hanging' over the
"pots." Indeed, they were finer mums
than any I ever saw grown in pots and
would have created a sensation at the
Cleveland show last November.

The idea occurred to me then, and
has many times since, namely, why do
not florists use hard-burned pots instead
of soft-burned ones? This led me to
experiment and I now am thoroughly
convinced of the advantage of the hard-
burned container. I do not mean hard
pots, glazed, like stoneware, but me-
dium hard, usually rated as "seconds."
I am well aware of the advantages of
the soft-burned pots, that they retain
moisture, etc.; but it seems to me that
in the "retaining" process they suck
the moisture from the soil, affording an
extra surface for evaporation, which
overbalunces the retaining feature.

I had always been annoyed by the
dirty, green, slimy, unsightly pots after
having been used once. I never could
see an advantage in washing such pots
that was commensurate with the trou-
ble and cost. I now have 4-inch pots
that have been in almost continuous
use for three years and they are almost
as clean as new pots. Having grown
plants for forty years, with a good pair
of "specs," I fail to see in the plants
anything that would favor the soft-
burned pot. I am forced to admit that
I used soft-burned pots because my
father did. From an economical stand-
point, in breakage and in handling, the
odds are greatly in favor of the hard-
burned variety.

The old, wire hanging basket illus-
trates the extreme in this principle and
the soft-burned clay basket is but little
better, unless painted. These I dis-
carded many years ago. If hung out-
doors, one had to water them often to
get results. In the hands of the inex-
perienced they would prove failures. I
have adopted a galvanized iron
"basket," with a top diameter of thir-
teen inches, a bottom diameter of
twelve inches and a depth of seven
inches. They have proven satisfactory
to my customers. They hold sufficient
soil to "back up" anything you can
get in them and, being so well protect-
ed from the air, the growths soon hide
the "basket." S. C. Templin.

MR. KERR'S ENTHUSIASM RISES.

Secretary Young now is prepared to
receive reservations for the trade dis-
play at the S. A. F. convention in Hous-
ton this summer. There is a great deal
of enthusiasm among the southern
florists about this convention, and you
may take it from me that there has
never been an occasion when so many
southern florists have been assembled
in one body.

At our last two Texas conventions we

had something like 125 florists from
within the state. We are expecting
at least 200 florists this summer from
within the state. There is little doubt
that we will have this number in at-
tendance. Now, it is believed that we
will have 300 or 400 florists scattered
through the south at this convention,
which will give us at least 500 florists
from the south. This alone makes it
worth while making an exhibit at the
Houston convention.

There is a great interest throughout
the country in this trip to see the south-
land, and I am convinced that we may
expect several hundred florists from
other sections of the United States.
We hsrve set our mark for 1,000 florists
in attendance at the Houston conven-
tion. There never has been a conven-
tion that has been given so much wide
publicity as the Houston convention.
We are just beginning on this publicity
work, and you may rest assured that
we are not going to miss our mark far.

Here is an extract from a letter re-
ceived from C. L. Baum, of Knoxville,
Tenn.:

At least one from each firm In this city will
be there, and, from what I can learn, there will
be more florists out of my state at the Houston
convention that were ever at a convention before.
I think we can depend on Nashville, Memphis
and Chattanooga for at least one member from
every florist firm.

I am writing all the state vice-))resldent8 of
states adjoining my state, which are eight in
number, Tennessee being bounded by more states
thin any other 8tat<% in the U. S.,'and am aslcing
them to cooperate with me In a great campaign
to have the largest delegation from this section
of the south that ever went to any convention,
and I firmly believe that fully ninety per cent
of the southern florists will attend the convention
in Houston.

You can depend on me to put every effort for-
ward to make the Houston convention the largest
and best convention the S. A. F. ever has had,
and I assure you that there will be a larger
number of southern florists present than ever
before, and that the members from the north,

FORGET-ME-NOTS FOR WINTER.

Will you please give me the name of
the myosotis that will bloom indoors

A form of Myosotis dissitiflora named
Perfection is the best winter-flowering
variety I have seen. The color is dark

London, England. — There was a meet-
ing of the leading growers of rose
plants July 5, during' the Holland House
show, to consider the question of prices
for the coming season. The impression
prevails that an agreement on minimum
prices is essential if the trade is to
survive the war.

Hillegom, Holland. — Compared with
an average year, the tulip crop is not
likely to be abundant and the hyacinth
crop is much below the average; really
top-size bulbs will be scarce. Not
only was considerably less planted, but
in the face of high-priced manure,
scarcity in labor, low prices, etc., the
bulb growers have tried to economize
in OA^ery direction, which will tell on
the size of the bulbs produced. Nar-
cissi will give a fine crop, but crocuses
are not so g6od as usual.

Haarlem, Holland. — The recent order
prohibiting the importation of Holland
bulbs into the British islands has
caused consternation among the bulb
exporters, especially those that formerly
dealt principally with England. In 1915
the British isles took 17,814,500 pounds
of Holland bulbs, against 22,423,500
pounds in 1913, when conditions were
nofmal. In 1915 bulb exports to Ger-
many and Austria increased only 368,-
380 pounds over 1913, but the United
States took 5,911,180 pounds more than
in the year before the war. It thus
appears that the usual market for about
two-fifths of the exportable crop now is
closed to the growers and that the
United States is about the only un-
restricted market.

Paris, France. — The Societe Nation-
ale d 'Horticulture de France recently
held the first flower show attempted
here since the outbreak of the war.
Although smaller than previous June
shows, it was a decided success. Among
novelties was Kose He de France, semi-
double, brilliant scarlet with large
white eye, a seedling from American
Pillar, exhibited by Auguste Nonin, who
also had Hydrangea hortensis Gloire de
Boissy, a splendid bright rose of fine
form. Mouillere, of Vendome, showed
Hydrangea hortensis Le Marne, an un-
usually vigorous sort with ample and
leathery foliage, enormous trusses of
carmine-rose passing to bright carmine,
festooned deeply and irregularly.

London, England. — ^The council of the
Horticultural Trades Association has
reported that "as far as could be
judged from the statements and tone
of the officials, the bulb trade could now
go forward with their catalogues and
other arrangements in certainty that no
Dutch bulbs would come in this season.
The board felt that they must re-
serve the right to consider any special
case of particular hardship, but the
disposition was to grant no licenses
whatever. It was resolved that a let-
ter of thanks be written to Sir Guy
Granet for his kind and sympathetic
reception of the deputation from the
association, and special stress be laid
upon the point that the restriction on
imports should not be removed until
the end of nine months, otherwise a
complete dislocation of the trade would
ensue."

THE GEBMAN GOODS GET IN.

In The Eeview for June 1 it was re-
ported that Bayersdorfer & Co., Phila-
delphia, had finally secured from the
British government a permit to bring
over, via Rotterdam, their Qerinan
goods held up since the inception of
the British blockade and that the Eyn-
dam had sailed May 27 with 1,291 cases,
or approximately one-third the quantity
covered by the permit.

The accompanying illustration shows
the Ryndam's cargo arriving at the
Bayersdorfer headquarters. The ad-
joining building, at 1131 Arch street,
has been leased as means of taking in
the merchandise.

FEVERFEW FOB MEMOBIAIj DAY.

Will you please inform me what size
of feverfew I would have to plant in
a bench April 15 in order to get flow-
ers for cutting for Memorial day? They
are to be planted in a carnation house
in a temperature of 50 to 52 degrees
at night and 56 degrees in the daytime,
with a higher temperature on bright
days and full ventilation.

R. K. S.— la.

April 15 is entirely too late a date
to plant feverfew for Memorial day.
It ought to be in the benches in Feb-
ruary or, at the latest, the first week
in March, if you want to get much from
it. Plants set out as late as April 15
would need to be of good size, from
4-inch or 5-inch pots, and even theft
they would not give you satisfactory
returns. C. W.

BID MANT7BE PILE OF FUES.

The vast majority of house flies de-
velop from eggs which are laid in horse
manure. There are two simple ways
of destroying the larvae. Sprinkling
the manure heap with a solution pre-
pared by adding one-half pound of pow-
dered hellebore to ten gallons of water
will destroy, according to recent ex-
periments, from eighty-eight to ninety-
nine per cent of the larvae in the ma-
nure. The use of a simple maggot trap
will prove equally effective. At the
Maryland Agricultural College, it was
found that the trap used there de-
stroyed fully ninety-nine per cent of
all the maggots or larvae breeding in a
given lot of manure.

Such a trap is simplicity itself, con-
sisting merely of a slatted platform
standing about one foot high upon a
concrete floor which is surrounded by
a rim or wall of concrete four inches
high. The floor slopes a little toward
one corner, in order to allow liquid from
the manure to be drained off into a
small cistern. Ordinarily this drain is
plugged with a stopper and the con-
crete floor filled with water to a depth
of one inch in the shallowest part.
The larvae, when about to enter the
pupal or resting stage, preliminary to
emerging as adult flies, invariably crawl
about in search of a suitably dry spot
in which to enter into pupation. In the
maggot trap, therefore, as soon as the
larvae attempt to leave the manure on
which they have been feeding, they fall
through the openings in the slatted
platform into the water below and are
drowned. Each week the drain should
be opened and the dead maggots washed
from the floor of the trap into the
cistern.

Experience with maggot traps has
brought out the fact that these are

Unloading the German Imports at the Bayersdorfer^ Annex.

most effective when the manure is kept
compactly heaped and well moistened.
This is due to the laxvae 's desire to find
a comparatively dry place in which to
pupate and, consequently, they crawl
away from wet manure. In the second
place, the platform should stand not
less than one foot above the concrete
floor, in order that the floor may be
more easily cleaned. A third point is
that old manure does not attract flies
for breeding. A lot of manure need re-
main on the maggot trap but ten days
in order to prevent any breeding tak-
ing place in it.

In cities and towns it is probable
that the treatment of manure with hel-
lebore will usually be found more ad-

vantageous. Ten gallons of the solu-
tion already described, composed of one-
half pound of powdered hellebore to
ten gallons of water and allowed to
stand twenty-four hours, will be suflS-
cient for the treatment of eight bushels
or ten cubic feet of manure. A weaker
solution than this is not so effective.
The hellebore does not alter the com-
position of the manure in any way and
does not cause any injury to crops on
which the manure is placed. The cost
of the treatment, with hellebore selling
from 12 to 16 cents a pound, and in
large lots for 10 cents or less, is esti-
mated at a little over 1 cent for every
two bushels.

Bochester, N. H. — E. A. Corson now
is well established in his new head-
quarters in the Jones block, on Central
square.

Newport, Vt.— J. R. Farrant is mak-
ing arrangements to erect a large green-
house, to replace several that were
burned last March.

Hartford, Conn. — ^The McManus Posy
Shop has been incorporated at $2,000
by Florence Hagarty, Mary McManus
and William McManus.

Baldwlnsville, Mass. — Two 100-foot
houses have been acquired here by
Frank Cogswell, formerly of New Sa-
lem, who will grow cucumbers exclu-
sively.

Barton, Vt.— John R. Farrant has
closed a contract for the erection of a
range of houses here. He is the son
of J. Farrant, who for many years has
conducted a florists' business at New-
port, Vt.

Foxboro, Mass. — Twenty-seven years
ago M. B. Faxon sent a basket of pansy
plants to the White House at Washing-
ton and received a letter of thanks
from Mrs. Benjamin Harrison. Recent-
ly he sent another lot and a few days
ago was rewarded by a warm note of
appreciation from Mrs. Wilson.

Union, N. H. — Frank Varney is con-
templating the removal of his houses
to a better location south of the town.

Ne-wton Upper Falls, Mass. — Despite
the cold and wet spring, business in this
section has been good, according to
J. W. McNeally. The condition of
stock has been satisfactory, consider-
ing the little sunshine during the last
two months.

Hollis, N. H. — Rain has been too
plentiful this spring for the good of
outdoor stock and, if the deluge does
not stop soon, many growers will reckon
a complete failure of outdoor plantings.
G. W. Coburn & Son report a successful
season in pot plants. They also are
growers of vegetables, principally cukes.

Worcester, Mass. — A veritable shower
of verbal bouquets recently descended
on the heads of Harold J. Neale, the
municipal forester, and Frank Chase,
foreman of the city greenhouses, in the
form of a newspaper write-up exposi-
tory of the good work of Messrs. Neale
and Chase in beautifying the city. A
public official was quoted: "There" is at
least one department of the outdoor
work carried on by the city by which
the voters are actually receiving $2 for
every $1 invested, and that is the city's
greenhouse and nursery department."

HOUSTON, TEX.

H. H. Kuhlmann reports business as
being good. His houses on Jackson
street are devoted principally to deco-
rative stock. He has some good speci-
mens of Ficus elastica. Bedding and
field plants are grown at Spring, Tex.,
which is twenty-three miles from Hous-
ton.

The Brazos Greenhouses, owned by
Miss Finnigan, who also owns the
Brazos hotel, one of Houston's large
and up-to-date hostelries, has the only
steel and concrete greenhouses in Hous-
ton. Mr. Hewitt, her manager, says
that business is good. He has some
good mums, particularly Golden Glow,
which gives good flowers through the
hot weather.

R. C. Kerr, vice--president of the S.
A. F., is having a good business and is
cleaning up in everything. He is cut-
ting a good supply of field roses, gla-
dioli and Shasta daisies, and a good
supply of short-stemmed flowers.

We had showers nearly every after-
noon last week, and hot mornings,
which have helped to develop stock,
even weeds, of which we always have
plenty. While other business has
dropped on account of summer, funeral
work has held up the average all along
the line. G. R. L.

COLUMBUS, O.

The Market.

Business is beginning to recede to
summer's dullness, but now and then
funeral work is heavy. Eoses have
been coming in finely, both in quantity
and quality; it is seldom that we have
seen better roses at this time. Good
Beauties are to be seen, as well as
Kaiserin, My Maryland, Ophelia, Sun-
burst, Richmond and Russell roses.
Carnations are becoming of inferior
quality, and there is an abundance of
them. Sweet peas still are holding
their own, and although some of them
have short stems, good stock is coming
from outdoors. Gladioli now are mak-
ing their appearance and will be a help
in filling orders for stock that will last.

Hanging baskets and even bedding
plants continue to move and there still
are calls for ferns and plants for porch
boxes, etc. Growers have been busy
planting mums and roses.

Various Notes.

The Livingston Seed Co. has been on
the jump with wedding orders.

Stephens & Son report that trade is
satisfactory in all branches.

Underwood Bros, have been stepping
lively of late turning out funeral
pieces.

The Franklin Park Floral Co. is wind-
ing up a season's good business.

E. Metzmaier reports business as be-
ing good until a few days ago, when
it began to slacken.

The Fifth Avenue Floral Co. has
planted all its mums and is now re-
planting roses.

The Riverside Floral Co. reports a
good season's business and is well sat-
isfied with results.

Some of the florists are planning to
go on a picnic July 26 at Buckeye lake.
No doubt they will go with the Hill-
top boosters, who number about 2,000.

Sam Graff, of the Art Floral Co., has
settled down in his new quarters and
thinks he will make good at the new
location. J. M.

KANSAS CITY.

Tlie Market.

Market conditions were good last
week, considering the time of year.
Good stock was not overplentiful. Re-
tail trade was not quite so good as that
of the previous week. The hot weath-
er has a tendency to open a large quan-
tity of flowers. Sweet peas are in the
market by the thousands. They are of
fine quality. Roses of all kinds are
plentiful and of especially fine quality.
Russell is far in the lead of all the rest.
Carnations still are plentiful, but will
not last much longer. Lilies are plen-
tiful and cheap. Outdoor stock is ar-
riving in wagon loads and dahlias have
made their appearance. Gladioli are
exceptionally good this year and are of
large size.

Various Notes.

T. J. Noll & Co. are looking forward
to a good summer trade. The new dis-
play room will be opened this week.
Mr. Noll left for Chicago on a business
trip July 5.

A. Newell and wife will leave July
7 for an extensive trip through the
east, taking in Buffalo and Toronto and
then going up the St. Lawrence river.

W. J. Barnes still is busy with wed-
ding and funeral work. He now is
getting his greenhouses in shape for the

fall stock. He has a 0|e lot of chrysan-
themums and about oDO pot plants.

Edward A. Humfeld has left for the
Ozark mountains, wh^e he has a home
at Hahatonka. He will return about
September 15.

W. L. Rock now is cutting a fine lot
of roses. Carnations will be planted
out this week. Outdoor snapdragons
are good.

Adolph Mohr is getting his new house
into shape. He has his mums planted
and will commence this week bringing
up the stock from the old place.

Reinhardt & Sons are bringing in a
fine lot of sweet peas and gladioli.

NEXT SPBINO'S OAMPANUIAS.

Please advise me when I should plant
seed of campanula to have blooms next
spring. E. W. P.— HI.

I presume you refer to Campanula
Medium, commonly known as Canter-
bury bell. If you sow the seed in a
coldframe at once, you still can have
plants that will flower next spring, but
it would have been better had the seed
been sown a month ago. These cam-
panulas are only biennial. Of the true
perennial campanulas there is a large
variety. Seed can be sown of any of
these now, and practically all should
bloom next season. C. W.

David J. Scott, of Corfu, N. Y., finds
an increasing demand for his special
strain of mignonette. During the entire
season it has brought good prices. An-
other house, perhaps, will be devoted to
it next season. Spanish irises, minia-
ture gladioli and sweet peas have sold
well. These will be succeeded by
chrysanthemums, which have been
planted temporarily in beds from 2%-
inch pots. Lifted with a trowel, the
original ball is undisturbed. Mr. Scott
maintains that the plant is thus un-
checked and avoids a stunted growth.
Carnations will be planted out the lat-
est date on record. The plants are
thrifty and promising.

Leroy Adams, of Corfu, specializes
in carnations and pins his faith to Car-
negie, Harlowarden, Enchantress, En-
chantress Supreme, Winsor and White
Wonder.

William Ehmann, also of Corfu, is
strong on sweet peas. Some of the
finest seen in the Bison City are grown
here.

L. C. Stroh & Sons, of Batavia, N. Y.,
have found time between rushes to add
another house to their extensive plant;
also a fine garage, built with cement
blocks and stuccoed to conform with
the style of the recently built office
and salesroom. They have experienced
excellent business. I noted a pretty
group of columbines in bloom at the ap-
proach to the greenhouses.

Robert H. McKerr, of Canandaigua,
N. Y., was called away during the rush
to attend the funeral of his mother,
who died in Canada at the age of 85.
His father still is hale luid hearty, of
about the same age.

Edward Sick, a Canandaiguan, says
that, apart from a slight decrease of

funeral work, his business shows a
healthy continuance.

W. & T. Cass, of Geneva, N. Y., are
much pleased with the crop of Formosa
lilies they grew for Easter. Bulbs
7x9 produced from six to twenty-five
blooms each and were uniform of
growth — an exceptionally fine lot. Har-
risii and giganteum, while good, had to
take second place. The brothers do a
big nursery business and have an un-
usual demand for Spiraea Van Houttei.
Peonies were late for Memorial day,
but are now a grand sight. In passing
I would mention that William Cass has
served his ward as alderman for six-
teen years — quite a record.

Alfred Patrick, of Auburn, N. Y.,
says he has tried every remedy recom-
mended to destroy the moth miller, but
that the millers laugh at his attempts.
Many nights were spent in catching the
pests. A njanufactured article now is
being tried with apparent success.
Archie Patrick, son and assistant, has
purchased the John WBite property at
Skaneateles, N. Y., and expected to
take possession July 1. The late Mr.
White built up a good business, but
his widow felt it too much for her.

T. F. Eastwood, of Auburn, called my
attention to a splendid strain of Stocks
Beauty of Nice and snapdragons. He
finds Marguerite Mrs. Sander invaria-
bly comes double if the plants are kept
potbound. Among the varieties of
ferns once popular but now almost lost
sight of, yet highly useful, is Pteris
tremula, a strong grower. The fronds
make a fine background in design work.
It is easily grown trtm spores. An-
other is Adiantum Capillus- Veneris
fimbriatum, a hardy and compact va-
riety. W. M.

OBITUARY

Walter P. Stokes.

Walter P. Stokes, of Moorestown,
N. J., died July 1, at Moosehead Lake,
Me., where he went early in the sum-
mer in the hope of benefiting his fail-
ing health.

Walter P. Stokes was one of the
best known seedsmen in America, a man
of conservative disposition and pains-
taking methods, who won the confidence
of all with whom he had dealings. He
was born in Philadelphia, in 1856, and
spent the greater part of his life with-
in that city. His first employment was
in the grocery trade, where he came in
contact with market gardeners and at
length began to supply and be de-
pended on for special strains of seeds.
Herbert W. Johnson then was manager
for C. G. Eogers, a pioneer in the seed
business in Philadelphia. In 1882,
when Mr. Stokes was 26 years of age,
the partnership of Johnson & Stokes
was formed and a retail seed store
opened at 1104 Market street, the
wholesaling of seeds being a natural
development of the reputation for sup-
plying dependable stock; Mr. Stokes be-
came known for the painstaking ac-
curacy of the firm's catalogues, which
he wrote. When this partnership ex-
pired by limitation, July 1, 1906, the
business occupied a double store at 217
and 219 Market street and was con-
tinued as two separate concerns, the
store being divided, the one at 219 Mar-
ket street being known as Stokes Seed
Store and the one at 217 Market street
as the Johnson Seed Co. Of the latter
Herbert W. Johnson was president and
Cliflford Phillip secretary and treasur-
er. Mr. Phillip was succeeded by Mr.
Johnson's two sons, but the company
went into involuntary bankruptcy July
19, 1915.

Operating along modern lines, Stokes
Seed Store established a trial grounds
at Moorestown, N. J. Here seed
growing became of constantly in-
creasing importance. In the course of
time the Philadelphia retail business
was discontinued and a wholesale and
market gardeners' trade conducted
from Moorestown under the title of
Stokes Seed Farms Co., Inc. With the
season of 1916 a largely increased acre-
age was put out, of pepper, eggplant,
kale, okra, radish, tomato, spinach,
turnip, sweet corn and field corn.

For many years Mr. Stokes was ac-
tive in the affairs of the American Seed
Trade Association, being elected as its
president in 1902. He occupied the
chair at the twenty-first annual conven-
tion, held at Atlantic City the following
year.

Thomas Wilson.

Men old in the trade in Massachu-
setts will learn with regret of the death
of Thomas Wilson, once a well known
florist at Newburyport, where he also
was prominently identified with the Ma-
sonic fraternity

Mr. Wilson was 68 years of age. As
a young man he was one of the pioneer
florists of eastern Massachusetts, but
about thirty-five years ago he removed
to Grass Valley, Cal., where he again
made a reputation as a florist and was
appointed superintendent of the grounds

connected with the state agricultural
school at Davisville, Cal., where he re-
mained until failing health made it
necessary for him to take up a less
exacting position. The interment was
at Grass Valley.

L. A. King.

L. A. King, aged 58 years, expired
suddenly June 27, in front of the
armory of the Monticello guards at
Charlottesville, Va., where he had
gone to join in the send-off given the
local military company on the eve of
its departure for the frontier. He is
survived by his wife, who was Miss
Lena L. Mallory, of Ashland, and two
daughters, Mrs. Marguerite Weatherby,
of Rocky Mount, N. C, and Miss Olive
King, of Richmond. Interment was at
Richmond, Va., June 29.

Eugene J. Ferrari.

Eugene J. Ferrari, a member of the
firm of Ferrari Bros., growers at San

Francisco, Cal., died June 26 at a sana-
torium at Los Gatos, Cal. The deceased
was a native of Italy, but spent most
of his life in this country. Besides his
brothers, Emile and Peter, who were
associated with him in the business, he
is survived by a wife, a daughter and
another brother, Louis Ferrari.

wmiam BaU.

William Ball, 89 years of age, for
many years a florist at Spuyten Duyvil,
N. Y., died June 23, at his home, 2422
University avenue, New York city.

BUSINESS EMBABBASSMENTS.

New York, N. Y.— Ralph A. Bell, Nat
P. Whitley and Nathan Sternberg, trad-
ing as the Bell Rosery, at 2654 Broad-
way, have made an assignment to
C. Edward Benoit.

Worcester, Mass. — John U. Gibbons
has been declared bankrupt. His liabil-
ities were $662 and assets $271.

Newcastle, Ind. — Myer Heller, of the
South Park Floral Co., who also con-
ducts the largest department store here,
that of the Kahn-Heller Co., has been
elected president of the Indiana Retail
Dry Goods Association.

Elkhart, Ind. — Mrs. Emily E. Weaver,
82 years of age, died July 3, at the
home of her daughter, Mrs. E. M. Bul-
lock, who is well known in the trade,
being a regular attendant at S. A. F.
conventions and large flower shows.

Wheeling, W. Va.— Frederick Wher-
ley, manager of the Virginia Flower
Shop, is conducting a tour of northern
United States and southeastern Canada.
A large number of teachers of the
Wheeling schools and others are mak-
ing th^ trip under Mr. Wherley's aus-
pices.

Knoxville, Tenn. — The Knoxville Flo-
rists' Society will hold its third annual
picnic July 6, at Elkmont, Tenn., a
mountain summer resort about seventy
miles from Knoxville. A special train
has been chartered for the occasion and
the picnickers will leave the city early
in the morning and expect to have a
fine time.

Hampton, la. — E. Curtis, proprietor
of the Curtis Floral Co., has sold his
business interests here to C. H. Hollied,
who took possession July 1. Mr. Curtis,
who has been in business in Hampton
for fourteen years, has removed to Web-
ster City, where he will take charge
of his greenhouses, which he formerly
leased to other parties. Mr. Hollied
formerly was superintendent of the city
parks of Springfield, Mo., and taught
gardening in the public schools there.

Camden, N. J. — F. R. Matsinger, who
conducted a florists' business at
Palmyra for twenty years, located in
the city last winter, at 2734 Concord
avenue, starting with a Lord & Burn-
ham house, 20x80 feet.

Geneseo, HI.— The Tyner Floral Co.
has discontinued business, having sold
its property and business to W. G.
Thomas, of Sheffield. Mr. and Mrs.
Tyner are visiting relatives at Indian-
apolis and probably will remain in the
Indiana capital.

St. Paul, Minn. — For the midsummer
festival at Lake Phalen June 24 there
was a parade of 300 decorated automo-
biles, some of them making good work
for the florists. For instance, on one
of the cars Holm & Olson used 2,300
peonies, with three cases of huckleberry
for green.

Plymouth, Ind. — F. A. Forbes reports
that in his section of the Hoosier state
the season now closing has been an er-
ratic one, both as to weather and busi-
ness. It has been difficult to foretell
the needs of each week — hard to order
just enough and not too much. Not-
withstanding, business has averaged
well in comparison with that of pre-
vious years.

Carthage, Mo. — Each spring the peo-
ple of Carthage go to Sarcoxie to view
the peony fields of the Oronogo Flower
Gardens. It is an annual affair, and
the roads are thronged with automobiles
on Sundays during the blooming period.
The cool weather this year prolonged
the season of peonies for several days
and large cuts were shipped to nearby
cities. The Oronogo Flower Gardens
also operate greenhouses.

owns some bulbs to make money the next
few months.

If this trade could be put on the basis
of one price to all it would do as much
as any one thing could to advance the
standing of the business.

Goldfish, a profitable side line in
many flower stores and retail greenhouses,
have gone on the short side of the mar-
ket. If you have any, don 't let the public
get them too cheaply.

Slowly, but steadily, the trade is com-
ing to realize that no profit can be made
on customers who do not pay their bills
and that the man who pays slowly must
be educated to pay promptly or in the end
he will not pay at all.

There seldom has been a June that has
seen so large a proportion of the cut
flowers sold through the regular trade
channels. Usually a considerable part of
the heavy crops of the month must be
sacrificed to buyers who come into the
markets only when cheap flowers are to
be had.

There is every indication that the
United States will be the one open market
for the world's output of bulbs and
plants of the 1916 crop, with the likeli-
hood that labor shortage will cut the out-
put below normal and lack of space in
steamers will act as a check on shipments
that are not on order.

HONOBABU: MENTION.

Not a few of the subscribers save
themselves the bother of annual re-
newal by sending The Review $2, $3
or sometimes $5, instead of the dollar
bill that insures fifty-two visits of the
paper. Among those who have this
week enrolled themselves for more than
one year in advance are:
FIVE years.

The Review stops coming when the
subscription runs out. The green no-
tice with the last copy tells the story:
no bills are run upj no duns are sent.

THE BEST ADVERTISEMENT.

It is an old saying that the best ad-
vertisement is a satisfied customer;
which is why The Review welcomes let-
ters like these:

You may discontinue my advertising, as I am
all sold out for this season. The Review did its
work as usual. — Henry J. Kettmann, Creve Coeur,
Mo., June 27, 1916.

Please omit my advertising until I can get
something else ready for market. Thanking you
for the selling power of The Review, I remain,
etc. — B. C. Blake, Springfield, 0., June 30, 1016.

When you hear a man complain of
the cost of advertising you can be
pretty sure he spends a good bit of
money elsewhere than in The Review.

AMEBICAN SWEET PEA SOCIETY.

The prospects for the exhibition of
the American Sweet Pea Society at
•Bar Harbor, to be held in connection
with the annual convention, July 15
and 16, give great promise. There will
be many exhibits from Newport, Lenox
and other eastern points; Bar Harbor
itself is an ideal place for growing
sweet peas. Schedules for the exhibi-
tion are ready and may be had on ap-
plication to the secretary. About 1,000
have already been sent out to possible
exhibitors. The prize list is large and
geperouB and keen competition is ex-
pected.

Visitors, exhibitors and judges going
from New York will leave on the Met-
ropolitan line to Boston at 5 p. m.,
Thursday, July 13, reaching Boston the
next morning. They will leave in the
afternoon with the Boston contingent
on the Outside line to Bar Harbor, Fri-
day, July 14. The fare between Bos-

ton and Bar Harbor is $10.50 round
trip, staterooms $1.50 and $2.00. The
fare from New York to Boston is $8.00
round trip, staterooms $1.00 and $2.00,
according to location. Through tickets
to Bar Harbor may be procured at
either point. Early reservations are re-
quested, as travelers at this season of
the year are numerous. For further
particulars address the undersigned at
40 West Twenty-eighth street. New
York. Harry A. Bunyard, Sec'y.

lUCINOIS STATE FLOBISTS.

At the meeting of the executive com-
mittee of the Illinois State Florists'
Association, held at Bloomington, 111.,
June 27, it was decided not to put on
a competitive flower show at the state
meeting at Bloomington this fall. The
shaping of a premium list, therefore,
was abandoned. Efforts, however, will
be made by the committee to put on one
of the largest non-competitive fall ex-
hibitions ever held. The secretary was
instructed to write the members who
answered the call for cash subscrip-
tions to the competitive show, and
thank them for their response. All
members will be asked to contribute
stock to the non-competitive show — cut
flowers or plants — to make it a banner
exhibition.

The only cash awards will be those
given to the school children of Bloom-
ington, for chrysanthemum plants. This
amateur feature will be entirely in the
hands of A. Washburn & Sons, of
Bloomington, who donated several thou-
sand plants to the children to grow and
who will offer $50 in prizes in this
event.

The show will be staged in the large
coliseum at Bloomington, November 9
to 11. The commercial end of the show
will be in charge of a committee con-
sisting of J. F. Ammann, Charles (Lov-
eridge and George W. Jacobs. The
usual certificate of merit will be award-
ed to anything new or meritorious. No
entries need be made for this.

Those attending the meeting were
President Charles W. Johnson, Charles
Loveridge, I. L. Pillsbury, E. W. Guy,
George W. Jacobs and J. F. Ammann,
from out of town; Frank Washburn,
George Washburn and John R. Gee, of
Bloomington. J. F. Ammann, Sec'y.

CHICAGO.

The Market.

With the exception of a few unim-
portant variations, the Chicago market
is slowly settling into the regular sum-
mer form. There is nothing to occasion
any large demand, and, were it not for
the department store buyers, it would
not always be an easy matter to clear
the market of surplus stock. These
buyers were quite active July 1, with
the result that everyone started with a
clean slate the first of the week. The
large quantities of outdoor stock natu-
rally operate to lessen the chances of
disposing of all standard stock through
regular channels. All things consid-
ered, however, there is no cause for
complaint. The general opinion is that
the market is much better than a year
ago, both as to supply and demand, and
that business will be ahead of last year
in both July ^nd August.

For really good Beauties there is a
fairly strong demand and, owing to the
preponderance of cool days during the

crop), and we are quoting low prices to make it
possible for you to handle a quantity — push them

ranged with our growers for a larger supply than usual for this
summer — roses grown specially for your summer trade — Russell
in quantity, Milady, Sunburst, Ophelia, Ward, Brilliant.

Bachelor's Buttons in Colors

A LATE CROP of Spencer Sweet Peas in several colors — much
finer stock than can be obtained from the tail-end pickings of ear-
lier crops — the best we ever have handled in July.

but WE can supply it— usually without notice, ALWAYS if you give
us a few hours' notice.

week, quality is much better than it
has been for some time. Considering
the time of year, other roses have sold
•well, too, though at a comparatively
low figure. There are few long Killar-
neys on the market. In fact, most of
the stock is of the shorter grades.

The cool weather has gone far to
hold carnations in shape, but they are
slipping and few good ones now are
found on the market. These, of course,
sell readily and the poor ones are
jobbed off. Valley, at last, is loosen-
ing. It has sold at unusual prices
through June, good stock bringing 6
cents on the closing days of the month.
Easter lilies are plentiful and refuse
to clear. Among the more recent ar-
rivals on the market is Lilium candi-
dum. This, unlike most things that are
new, sells slowly at low prices. Cat-
tleyas, as a matter of course, are scarce,
though not so much so as they were a
few weeks back. Sweet peas are in
large supply, but are going down in
quality. There are, to be sure, a few
good ones on the market, but most of
them are short in stem and soft. Some
excellent Shasta daisies are coming into
the market and they meet, as usual, a
good demand. Although there is a
quantity of outdoor gladioli, they do
not move as rapidly as one would ex-
pect.

Cold storage peonies are still with us
and there is every prospect of a fairly
large supply of northern-grown stock
arriving on the market before many
days. Cornflowers, coreopsis, gaillar-
dias, candytuft, feverfew and gypso-
philas are clearing.

Emil Eeichling, who has been emi-

year not a grafted plant went into any

do 80 with own root plants, the differ-
ence being more in the man than in
the plants. In support of his conten-
tion that quality can be had with own
root plants he points to his record at
the 1915 show, where his own root
roses took prizes on entries in com-
petition with flowers from growers who
use grafts almost exclusively.

The demand for Russell has been so
great that it has been impossible to
fill it even with grafts, with the result
that there are few own root plants any-
where in this section. But Mr, Eeichling
has rooted many Bussell and his houses
of own root stock certainly are better
than the houses he planted with grafts;
the bottom breaks on the own root
plants are wonderfully strong. Inci-
dentally, growers have had heavy losses

tings of it, but he discovered it roots

The Weather in June.
June was an unusually favorable
month for growers, the low temperature
and subnormal sun being a great help
in retaining quality in the cut flowers.
The highest temperature was only 88
degrees and the mean was 2.8 degrees
below normal. The rainfall was 7.25
inches, or twice the normal. The per-
centage of possible sunshine was only
sixty-seven, the normal for June being
seventy-one.

Mn. and Mrs. H. B. Kennicott will
motor to Calumet, Mich., July 6 to
spend a few days on their peony far;n.
Incidentally, Mr. Kennicott will assist
August Jurgens, one of the proprietors
of the place, in superintending the cut-
ting of the peonies. They are expect-
ing a larger cut, as this is the first
year the farm has been in full crop.
Peeonia festiva maxima is the variety
principally grown.

While a considerable number of grow-
ers have discarded Mrs. Ward as un-
profitable, the A. F. Amling Co., May-
wood, considers it one of the beat of
money-makers. All of the old plants of
Ward are to be carried over and 9,000
young plants have been benched. It is
noted that July and August bring little
call for .Ward, so these months are
chosen for resting the old plants, the
flowers being in good demand the bal-
ance of the year, short Wards being in
especial request.

Last week Lester Partridge, of
Sharp, Partridge & Co., suffered a fall,
tearing the ligaments in one of his
legs. As a result, he is confined to a
bed in the North Chicago hospital. It
is hoped, however, that he will be fully
recovered within another week.

Next week A. L. Randall and Mrs.
Randall will leave for their farm near
Benton Harbor, Mich. Five weeks later
they will be joined by their daughter,
who is a student in Northwestern Uni-
versity. On this farm Mr. Randall
grows gladioli in large quantities, and
he has made preparations to stay with
them for four months.

George Walther, 6310 Normal avenue,

THE THIRD EDITION

OF THE

Album of Designs

(A Book Every Retailer Needs)

npHE original Album of Designs was published in response to many
reauests 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 Bonauets, 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 possibl« to
■how th* tinlshed work in beautifully printed pictures. The first
edition sold like hot cakes, and a Kcond edition went auickly. Now a
third edition is off the press. Everything is in it— all the standard
designs and many new and heretofore unpublished pieces.

?HILAI>£I<PHIA.

Tlie Market.

The season is over — a season that,
despite war abroad and disturbances at
home, has been excellent for the florists.
There has been a fair quantity of busi-
ness, with more than enough flowers for
all demands. Lily of the valley is the
only exception. So much less was
forced that there was a shortage at
the end of June. The price advanced
to $6 per hundred.

Carnations are of better average
quality than is usual in July. They
have been helped by the cool nights.
Really fine Mrs. C. W. Ward and sev-
eral varieties of white sell slowly at $2
per hundred. Gladioli are becoming of
importance. They come from northern
greenhouses and from southern fields.
Easter lilies have a leading place in
the summer list of flowers today. They
are not so plentiful as a week ago.
There are some good roses and a good
many roses of rather poor quality. The
former are invaluable for quality orders,
both in and out of town. The poor
grade is useful where quantity is an
object.

Local Beauties are becoming scarcer.
A few are coming from the eastern or
lower New England states. Cattleyas
find little favor. C. gigas is about
over; C. Mossise reigns. Delphinium
Belladonna is shortening up, but there
i8 quite a little larkspur. The older
varieties of sweet peas are preferred to
the Spencers for shipments in warm
weather, provided they are well grown.
This is curious, as the Spencers are
much finer in every way, except dura-

bility. Peas from outdoors are at their

Early Closing.

There is a general movement for
early closing among the stores in the
center of the city. It is a poor rule
that won't work both ways. The long
hours in the busy fall, winter and spring
seasons have convinced many of our
leading business men that shorter hours
in summer are not only fair but neces-
sary. They think that business can be
done just as well in less time, provided
all concerned are willing. Each house
or individual works out the details to

meet the special requirements. Nearly
all close at 1 0 'clock Saturdays, or give
time through the week to those who
stay Saturday afternoon. Many close
at 4 o'clock on week days.

France, Italy, Holland, Germany and

notably from the first and last-named
countries. The customhouse people,
who are having a dull time just now,

Topic of the Hour.

The remarkable display of wide-
'awakeness shown by the advertising
men and women in their convention in
Philadelphia last week should make us
keenly alive to our changing business
conditions. It is sufficient for the pur-
pose of demonstrating the great value
of properly directed advertising to
mention that Henry Penn, of Boston,
and Charles H. Grakelow, of Philadel-
phia, took active part. Henry Penn is

ers of the day. His success in the Hub
has been largely due to his wonderful
ability to attract people and to hold
them. Charles H. Grakelow 's rise in
the Quaker City has put him in a posi-
tion where he can and does advertise
freely. His display in the parade dur-
ing last week's convention was cleverly
conceived and carried out.

The thought that all this brings to
each of us is that we must in some
way advertise our business if we wish
to keep up in the race. Just what that
form of advertising is to be will depend
on our business and on ourselves — qual-
ity, display, service, price, newspaper
cards, or any or several of a variety

of other ways of telling people what
you are doing, in a way that will inter-
est them.

It is a big problem; one that will re-
pay much thought.

The Florists^ Review

Jolt 6, 1916.

START RIGHT

Fall will be with us before we know it. A little reflection at this time of leisure may
prove very profitable to us later. The old saying, "In time of peace prepare for war,"
should be applied to business, only in different wording, which would be, "In dull times
prepare for the rush season." Now you have tim6 for afterthought and forethought.

This year we have the finest line of Baskets, Xmas Wreaths, and in fact everything
for the florist in the supply line that has ever been shown. Our men are out with a
full line, the prices of which are the usual Neidinger values, which almost every florist
knows to be the best on the market.

We have made a thorough study of Florists' requirements in both new and old ideas
from a practical standpoint, so that not only the article is practical, but the price is
so reasonable that the florist can sell the goods in quantities. Don't fail to see our
line when our men are in your city. Am positive a visit will be to mutual benefit.

For the florists whom our men might overlook, we shall publish a photo each consecu-
tive week of one of our basket numbers that is selling the best on the road, thus
giving every florist an opportunity of procuring the best quality for the least money
ever offered. WATCH OUR ADS.

The Market.

The good old summer time is here;
in the wholesale cut flower market it
is called "the dead old summer time."

Weddings, apart from the hasty nup-
tials of many of the soldiers mobilizing,
have become fewer daily, and school
commencements are over. As a result
the market has settled down to the
inevitable dullness of July and August.

Roses are quoted at from 50 cents
per hundred for the short-stemmed stock
up to $20 per hundred for the few per-
fect American Beauties. There is no
surplus of roses, but a gradual decline
in values, which, doubtless, will con-

of late, last week dropped to half the
previous week's quotations. July 1
only the best selected valley brought
aa high as $3 per hundred. The cessa-
tion of June weddings was given as
the reason for the drop of pHces.
Lilies remain at $4 per hundred for the
best, and from that on down to $2.

Carnations quickly showed the effect
of the heat. Choice stock sold at $2
per hundred, many making only $1 per
hundred. Anything inferior sold at 50
cents per hundred. This placed them
on a par with the low-priced roses. The
orchid market is steady and no over-
supply is noted. Prices continue at
about the figures of the last two weeks,
a few choice gigas bringing from 40
cents to 50 cents. The best of the
sweet peas continue to bring satisfac-
tory prices, but only the best are con-
sidered by the buyer. Much of the
inferior stock reaches the barrel, ac-
companied by rambler roses.

The street men were selling the last
of the peonies at 1 cent each July 1.
The cold storage stock now has all been
sold, and shipments from growers are
about at an end. The market is
crowded with all kinds of outdoor stock,
much of which does not sell at all.
There seems to be but a faint call for
rambler branches, and practically no
sale of coreopsis, daisies, sweet Wil-
liams and forget-me-nots. Other offer-
ings include candytuft, feverfew, Can-
terbury bells, phloxes, gaillardias, etc.

Various Notes.

The sweet pea convention and exhi-
bition at Bar Harbor, Me., July 15 and
16, will have a good New York attend-
ance, the trip from New York to Bos-
ton by boat having been decided upon.
The members of the National Associa-
tion of Gardeners in this vicinity, under
the guidance of Secretary Ebel, will
constitute the majority of the visitors.

H. M. Robinson, of Boston, was a
visitor to New York July 1. He re-
ports the best season of his long expe-
rience.

The losses to the retail florists as a
result of the European war have been
large. A prominent florist on Madison
avenue tells me it has made a differ-
ence in receipts from boat deliveries of
$10,000 to $15,000 yearly.

Lester Lovett, of Little Silver, N. J.,
recently was in the city. He says he

Any flowers or plants give a lot of pleasure if they're nice and fresh; and the way
to keep them fresh is to pack them in

has 2,000,000 2-year-old privet in his

D. C. Arnold, who has been enjaying
a two weeks' rest in the mountains,
returned to the city July 4.

Galvin's window on Fifth avenue
and Forty-sixth street is one of the
show centers of the famous avenue.
Mr. Galvin was a recent visitor from
Boston and seemed greatly pleased with
the New York management.

W. G. Badgley is cutting fine Ophelia
roses from his May planting. Mr.
Badgley, as mayor of Chatham, N. J.,
will preside at the town's patriotic
celebration of Independence day.

C. A. Dards will return shortly from
his three months' trip to Japan, China
and Hawaii.

Thomas Martin, with Traendly &
Schenck, was in the city last week at-
tending the funeral of his brother. Mr.
Martin is spending the summer at Otis-
ville, N. Y.

The firm of Hentz & Nash has been
incorporated with a capital of $25,000,

H. Hentz, Jr., of Madison, N. J., and
L. A. and A. S. Nash, of New York,
being the incorporators.

Patrick O'Mara is back from a trip
to the south, including New Orleans,
La.

Robert Burnett, son of George Bur-
nett, is a member of a New Jersey regi-
ment which has been called to duty in
Texas.

President M. A. Bowe, of the joint re-
tail associations, says that the weekly
meetings of the organization of late
have been unusually practical and that
the outlook for a larger membership
and central headquarters is bright.

The show was an open-air one, with
the cut flowers arranged under three
large tents. There were eighty-three
classes entered for prizes by the Garden
Association and fifty by the Horticul-
tural Society. The judging was emi-
nently satisfactory and was done with
unusual dispatch, the cards being all
attached before the close of the first
afternoon. There were three judges
from each of the associations, Eichard
Gardiner, "William MacKay and James
Robertson representing the Garden As-
sociation, and Arthur T. Bunyard,
Joseph Dixon and Alan R. Wheeler, the
Horticultural Society.

One of the features of the exhibition
was the competition in the class of
novelty sweet peas of 1916, for prizes
offered by Weeber & Don. The win-
ners were: William Gray, first; Daniel
Hay, second; Victor May, third.

A silver cup known as the Heather-
home trophy and valued at $50, offered
by the Knight & Struck Co., was not
awarded, as there were no entries, the
prize being for the best collection of
sweet peas, twenty-five sprays each of
ten varieties, disseminated in 1914,
1915 or 1916.

has been extremely scarce, and when it
is to be had it sells at $10 per hundred.
Orchids are almost as scarce as valley.
White orchids have been in large de-
mand recently; so have orange blos-
soms. Since valley is so scarce, many
patrons select white sweet peas for
their wedding bouquets, and these make
up prettily. Baby gladioli are getting
scarce. Greens were in ample supply
last week, but the reverse is true this
week. Asparagus is limited in quan-
tity.

The Market.

There was much activity in the mar-
ket last week. June weddings and
funeral work created a lively demand.
The weather has been exceptionally
warm. Carnations continue plentiful,
but they are showing the effects of
the extreme heat. Koses are in large
supply, but they are only of medium
quality. The Killarneys are showing
the strain of the hot weather more
than any other variety. Shawyer, Eus-
sell, Ophelia, Sunburst, Ward and Rich-
mond are holding up well. The peony
season is about over; there are only a
few on the local market at present.
Easter lilies are of good quality. Lilium
giganteum and auratum, or the Golden
Band lily, are of good quality. Daisies
were seen on the market last week.
Fine outdoor flowers, including gaillar-
dias, delphiniums, larkspurs and fox-
gloves, were in large supply. Hy-
drangea arborescens is in bloom and is
used largely in decorative work.

The Market.

The market last week was without
any notable feature and about all that
can be said is that midsummer dullness
is with us. A few hot days caused
stock to suffer. Roses arrived wide
open or opened almost as soon as un-
packed. Prices on fancy roses kept
up, but on other grades were low.
White roses moved better than colored
stock. Carnations are a glut. Even
at low prices these seem hard to move.
Sweet peas are arriving in large quan-
tities and some are of extra good qual-
ity, but- the large supply forces the
wholesalers to dispose of them at ex-
tremely low prices. Lilies are not plen-
tiful and sales of these are reported
excellent. Valley of extra fine quality
brings $5 per hundred. Some first-
class spikes of America, Francis King
and Pink Beauty gladioli were seen
last week. Miscellaneous flowers, such
as gypsophilas, cornflowers and stocks,
meet with a fair demand. All greens
ar« selling well at the usual summer
prices.

Various Notes.

Members of the Florists' Union gave
a trolley party June 24. After the
ride they went to Creve Coeur lake.
The party was made up mostly Qf the
employees of Grimm & Gorly and the
Mullanphy Flower Co. Plenty of re-
freshments were served. All report a
most enjoyable time.

this line and says that even now they
have him on the go daily.

The Young Bros. Floral Co., on
Waterman avenue, and the Sanders
Nursery say the season just closed was
a profitable one. Summer business so
far has been good in all respects.

John Bentzen, of the Bentzen Floral
Co., motored to Kansas City last week
with a party of friends. According
to reports, the party is having a "grand
old time."

Fred Strohmeyer, with the Ayres
Floral Co., reports that his firm did a
large June business in wedding and
commencement work. This place will
soon undergo its regular summer clean-
up and many improvements will be
made before the fall business starts in.

The St. CLouis Florists' Club wUl hold
its monthly meeting July 13, at the
greenhouse range of the Bourdet Floral
Co., Magnolia and Tower Grove ave-
nues. The nomination of officers will
take place at this meeting and prepa-
rations are being made to entertain 100
members.

David Geddis, Jules Bourdet, Sam
Seligman and J. J. Beneke motored
to Crescent, Mo., July 2 to inspect the
greenhouse plant of John T. Milliken.
Great improvements are being made, in-
cluding the erection of new Lord &
Burnham greenhouses.

At the establishment of Fred C.
Weber, on Olive street, the summer
clean-up is already started. The front
and rear show houses are being cleared
for cleaning. This work will go on
daily until the fall season opens.

Letters to downtown office buildings
and stores were sent by the Business
Men's League urging the use of more
flower boxes to decorate the window
ledges. The letters have brought fair-
ly good results, for many orders were
placed with florists for window boxes
last week.

Dr. A. R. Davis, for the last year
research assistant at the Missouri
Botanical Garden, went to Pomona
College, at Claremont, Cal., to conduct
a course in botany during the summer.
George W. Freiberg succeeds Dr. Davis
at the garden.

OF "THE FLOWERS"
886 Supertor Str««t, TOLKDO, OHIO

Mo., for the Marribla Seminary. Park
View place is known as one of the
beauty spots in St. Louis.

Sam Seligman and Ben Eosenberg,
representing Wertheimer Bros., New
York; Clifford Pruner, of Poehlmann
Bros. Co., Chicago, and Mr. Lang, of
the Lang Floral & Nursery Co., Dallas,
Tex., called on the trade last week.

J. J. B,

BOSTON.

The Market.

The arrival of July finds the cut
flower business dropping down to the
usual summer level. June trade, in
spite of disappointments occasioned by
the cool, damp weather and the late
flowering of such important outdoor
flowers as peonies and roses, has been
remarkably good, probably the best
Boston ever has had, and, taking the
first six months of the year, it is doubt-
ful if fiorists ever have had any other
half-year which gave better business.

Thanks to the absence of excessive
heat, flowers continue to come in of
splendid quality. Boses have dropped
in value with the cessation of weddings.
A fair trade in Beauties is being done,
while other favorites, such as Ophelia,
Russell, Killarney Brilliant, Hadley
and Ward, sell moderately at the re-
cessions in prices. Some hybrid per-
petual roses grown outdoors are seen,
but they cut little figure in the market.
If they had arrived ten days earlier
they would have sold finely.

Carnations mostly sell at 50 cents
and $1 per hundred. The quality re-
mains excellent. Indoor sweet peas are
becoming shorter of stem. They still
arrive in large numbers, but are harder
to move. Only small outdoor lots are
arriving. Gladioli are abundant and
drag considerably. There are good sup-
plies of outdoor-grown Spanish irises,
delphiniums and peonies. The last-
iamed are hard to move now.

Yellow marguerites are about over.
Lilies are in excess of the market's
needs. Valley is not in large supply
and has been selling exceptionally well.
Not many gardenias are seen. Cat-
tleyas are less abundant, being mostly
Gaskelliana.

The Rose and Strawberry Show.

The annual rose and strawberry show
of the Massachusetts Horticultural So-
ciety was held July 1 and 2. The sea-
son is an abnormally late one and even
after being postponed a week the date
proved too early for many local grow-
ers. However, there was a good exhibi-
tion staged. A pleasing feature was
the increased competition in the ama-
teur classes, the average quality of the
amateurs' flowers being quite as good
as those in the open classes. The lead-
ing prize-winners in the rose classes
were: Eobert Seaver, whose prize- win-
ning baskets were noteworthy; John 'L.
Smith, gardener for A. W. Preston; W.
C. Winter, E. K. Butler, David Tyndall,
John B. Wills, Mrs. Algert Geiger, T.
N. Cook and Geo. E. Barnard.

Hybrid teas were largely shown and
attracted more attention than the
hybrid perpetuals. A few of the finest
hybrid teas shown were Duke of West-

A. J, Pish received a silver medal for
a splendid stand of climbing roses, in
which Silver Moon was conspicuous, the
glossy foliage of which was striking.
Other varieties of merit were Dr. Van
Fleet, Climbing American Beauty, W. C.
Egan, Baroness Ittersum and Trier. T.
N. Cook received honorable mention for
a seedling rambler. The Eastern Nur-
series had a display of climbing roses.
Displays of roses, apart from the com-
petitive classes, were made by J. T. But-
terworth, W. C. Eust, gardener for Mrs.
C. G. Weld; Henry Stewart, gardener
for Miss Cornelia "Warren, and T. N.
Cook.

There were good peony collections
from T. C. Thurlow 's Sons Co. and A.
H. Fewkes, the blooms being much
finer than those staged peony day, June
17. Prizes for sweet williams went to
William Thatcher, gardener for Mrs.
J. L. Gardner and W. C. Rust, and those
for Canterbury bells went to Duncan
Finlayson, gardener for Larz Ander-
son, and W. C. Eust.

There was a grand show of hardy
herbaceous perennials, which proved
more attractive to the numerous visitors
than the roses arranged individually in
stereotyped rows. The Blue Hill Nur-
series had a splendidly arranged bank
which contained many choice varieties,
and were awarded a silver medal. E. &
J. Farquhar & Co. had an extensive
group in which white digitalis and del-
phiniums were the leading features.
The Eastern Nurseries also had a peren-
nial collection. F. W. Fletcher showed
Delphinium Cliveden Beauty in fine
shape and there were several displays
of digitalis.

Donald McKenzie, gardener for E. B.
Dane, had a good display of cut orchids.
J. T. Butterworth had a group of Mil-
tonia vexillaria and Epidendrum pris-
matocarpum. Duncan Finlayson re-
ceived a certificate of merit for the
pure white Ccelogyne Mooreana. Henry
Stewart had a group of gloxinias and
Campanula persicifolia, also twelve
large and heavily flowered plants of
Oncidium flexuosum.

The leading strawberry once more
was Marshall. This far outclassed all
competitors, as it has done for twen-
ty-three years. Other varieties which
showed up well were Barrymore and
Golden Gate.

60 yeart' experience in the florist butineas guarantees
efficiency to take care of all orders. 20 per cent allowed

of the most satisfactory months, from
a business point of view, that local
growers, wholesalers and retailers ever
have had. Flowers of nearly all kinds
have sold remarkably well in spite of a
long spell of cold, damp and depressing
weather. I do not remember ever hav-
ing seen roses, carnations and sweet
peas of such splendid quality the first
week in July as we now have.

Reservations are rapidly being made
for the Bar Harbor trip of the Gar-
deners' and Florists' Club, to occur
July 14. Reports from Bar Harbor are
that, in spite of a late season, sweet
peas promise to be fine for the exhibi-
tion of the American Sweet Pea So-
ciety, July 15 and 16.

R. E. Wadsvirorth & Co., of North-

did quality. They grow Delphinium
Belladonna heavily, both under glass
and outdoors, and have been cutting
it for some weeks. They have 60,000
carnations in the field, which they will
not start housing for a month.

The Welch Bros. Co. did a record-
breaking June business. The company
is strong on gladioli, valley. Beauties
and sweet peas at present.

John Barr, of South Natick, has
started to pull out some of his carna-
tions. Champion does exceptionally
well with him. Alice now outclasses
Pink Delight. Matchless and the old
Winsor still are good. He has more
than 100,000 carnations in the field and
they are making an excellent growth.
This season 2,000 Nancy will be planted.

The sweet pea show of the Massa-
chusetts Horticultural Society will be
held July 8 and 9. The dates are too
early for a creditable display. At pres-

At the store of Harry Quint, on

bird baths are featured in his open-air
garden display. June business here has
proved extremely good.

At Welch 'a daylight store, 280 Devon-
shire street, good orders are coming in
from holiday resorts. The outlook is
encouraging.

William R. Nicholson says carnations
this season have netted him more money
than ever before. The blooms still are
of splendid quality, especially Alice,
Matchless, Benora and Pink Delight.
Field plants are making a sturdy
growth. Few will be planted before
August 1, early planting not being
favored here. Both Mr. Nicholson and
his father expect to make the trip to
Bar Harbor July 14.

Carnation Albert Roper, from the
Roper establishment, at Tewksbury,
continues to arrive of grand quality.
Another seedling, similar in color but
of superior size, looms up in great shape
now and will be heard from later. As
yet there is only a small bench planted
to it.

Fred Holbrow, of Dorchester, is
strong on Canterbury bells and sweet
peas. The latter are twelve to four-
teen feet high and are blooming pro-
fusely.

James Wheeler, of Natick, has con-
tracted for a semi-iron King construc-
tion house, 35x200 feet, to be devoted
chiefly to Carnation Pink Delight.

At Penn's, the month of weddings
proved a banner one, considerably more
business being done than ever before.
A good summer business now is being
done. The windows are arranged dif-
ferently from the stereotyped style and
always catch the eyes of passers-by.

Andrew Christensen, of Stoneham,
grows the old Queen carnation heavily
and finds it profitable. He had quanti-
ties of flowers July 1, which were fully
equal to those of Matchless in size.
Alice is proving a splendid summer va-
riety. Field plants are growing rapid-
ly-

Thomas Stock, of Dorchester, is one
of the few commercial growers who
grow the old Jacqueminot rose in quan-
tity. He finds no trouble in disposing
of the blooms. W. N. C.

BALTIMOEE.

The Market.

The approach of the national holiday
had a depressing effect on business
locally. The early half of the week
was good, considering the season, but
the latter half was extremely dull.
There is a fair supply of stock, but
prices are rather low. Boses are in
satisfactory supply, but they are mov-
ing slowly. Carnations are plentiful
and sell cheaply, but the quality is
none too good; in fact, a few more of
good quality could be used.

Lilies were in good demand, with
only a limited supply. Peonies from
storage are out of the market entirely.
Greens are plentiful for almost the first
time this season, and the demand is
good. A few indoor gladioli are arriv-
ing and move out quickly. Outdoor peas
are here in small numbers.

The planting season is practically
over, only a few odds and ends now
being sold. The continued cool weather
prolonged the season beyond its usual
length, and all growers handling this
stock report a good demand during the
entire spring.

Various Notes.

Edward Kress has sold practically
his entire crop of garden roses and has
discontinued the market for the season.

J. King is sending in some of the
first gladioli of the season to the Pen-
nock-Meehan Co.

The Baltimore Wholesale Florists'
Supply Co. will shortly remove from its
present location on Pleasant street to
Center street, east of Charles street.

The next club meeting will be held
Monday, July 10, when final arrange-
ments will be made for the automobile
tour to Harpers Ferry and the adjacent
territory.

Mrs. Mary Johnston has razed the
conservatory on Madison street, oppo-
site her store, and on its site she has
erected an apartment house, the first
floor of which will be glass on all sides,
for th«j storage of palms and decorative
plants. It is expected to be ready for
occupancy by fall.

The Leo Niessen Co. and the Pennock-
Meehan Co. will close at 5 p. m. during
the summer months. W. F. E.

Rochester, N. Y. — J, B. Keller Sons
and Frank Lavigne have secured green-
house building permits.

Linesville, Pa.— L. K. Matthews, mar-
ket gardener, has been so successful
with vegetable plants that he is ex-
tending his line to include greenhouse
stock.

PACITIO COAST ASSOCIATION.

The fourteenth annual meeting of the
Pacific Coast Association of Nursery-
men was held at Medford, Ore., June
20 to 22. The attendance was not
larger than usual, but the sessions were
marked by sharp and thorough discus-
sions of the subjects presented. Two
sessions were held each day and an
executive session, lasting until after
midnight, was necessary the last day
in order to finish all business. Little
time was given to entertainment, but
it was generally conceded that the meet-
ing was the most instructive ever held
by the association.

A paper by Prof. F. C. Eeimer, super-
intendent of the southern Oregon ex-
periment station, on " Blight-Eesistant
Stocks for Pears," and its discussion,
occupied the time of one entire session.
A visit was made the following morn-
ing to the experiment station at Tan-
gent, about six miles out, where the
visitors were shown what is said to be
the largest collection of pear stock in
the world. A practical demonstration
of his subject was made by Prof.
Eeimer.

A report on crown gall research, by
Prof. H. P. Barss, plant pathologist of
the Oregon Agricultural College, was
especially instructive. Much interest
was added by the discussions which
■followed the reading of each paper.

F, A. Wiggins, of Toppenish, Wash.,
was elected president, and C. A. Ton-
neson, of Tacoma, Wash., was reelected
secretary-treasurer. Vice-presidents for
Oregon, Washington, California, Idaho,
Utah, Montana and British Columbia
were elected. Tacoma, Wash., was
selected as the place of the 1917 meet-
ing. S. W. W.

The Market.

An abundance of funeral work, a
number of weddings and some other
social affairs have made the present
week a good deal better than the last
one, when parades and high jinks gen-
erally were the rule. The floral parade,
of course, used an enormous quantity
of cheap stock, and to that extent did
good, but there is little money in such
sales for the retailers. There is a won-
derful variety of stock to select from,
as all classes of outdoor flowers are
plentiful. Dahlias are making a splen-
did show The asters are not quite so
good as they were, but the later crops
will probably show improvement. Eoses
are fair. Some excellent Ophelia are
shown. Eadiance seems to be losing
ground, its place being taken by Eus-
sell and Shawyer. It is a good outdoor
rose, however, and will long be grown
both for garden decoration and for cut-
ting. Carnations of the best quality are
still scarce, though there is an abun-
dance of second-grade stock.

Gladioli are plentiful. A large num-
ber of flowers of annuals, such as sca-
biosas, calliopsis and others, are shown,
as well as the common yellow mari-
golds, all of which make a pretty dis-
play in the stores. The supply of valley

is uncertain; there are plenty at times,
at others none. Orchids are becoming
somewhat scarcer, but the demand is
not great. Pot plants, such as tuber-
ous begonias and gloxinias, are shown;
also a few fancy-leaved begonias and
caladiums, but there is little demand
for these. The greatest call is for
Boston and Whitman! ferns. Greens
are plentiful and good.

Various Notes.

Eealizing the good properties of the
hardy ornithogalum, or Star of Bethle-
hem, the H. N. Gage Co. has been work-
ing for several years on an improved
type for cut flowers, and now has a
large stock of it. The prices at which
the bulbs are offered are so much lower
than those of the Dutch product that
some business shouH come their way
from the east. This firm is going more
strongly than ever into pot plant cul-
ture, and, to take care of the increasing
business, is building two new houses,
each 26x200. This, with the present
glass, makes a total of 20,000 square
feet. An interesting side light on the

value of the California-grown seed and
the so-called greenhouse-grown seed of
asparagus lies in the fact that the H. N.
Gage Co. has shipped over two million
seeds this year, and so far has received
just one complaint of poor germination.
This reached Montebello about four
weeks after the seed was shipped; so
comment is superfluous.

Fred Hills and Mrs. Hills have both
been down with illness, but, as usual,
no one knew anything about it until
they were around again. Mrs. Hills
was suffering from a case of ptomaine
poisoning, while Mr. Hills was down
with muscular rheumatism. Both are
now doing business at the old stand,
and apparently have forgot their
troubles. Mrs. George Walther, of Chi-
cago, and her children are staying with
Mr. and Mrs. Hills, and Mr. Walther is
expected out here later.

Staiger & Fincken, of Washington
street, purchased the stock of the
Eoeding & Wood Nursery Co., and have
removed it to their city salesyard. A
large quantity of useful stock is thereby
added to the already large quantity

The Market.

On the whole, June was a fairly good
month for the local florists, but it is
conceded that wedding decorations did
not play so important a part in the
month's business as they usually do.
Things naturally seem quiet this year in
comparison with last, when there was
much extra business in connection with
the many conventions and other fes-
tivities brought about by the P. P. I.
E. However, there are few complaints,
as business generally is up to expecta-
tions. Shipping business continues ac-
tive, which helps out considerably in
disposing of the large quantities of
stock pouring into the market.

Gladioli continue to dominate the
market; Panama now is coming in fine-
ly, and America and Mrs. Francis King
show excellent quality. Dahlias are
arriving abundantly and the good stock
is readily absorbed, which gives promise
that the record business done with this
flower during the exposition period will
be repeated, as far as possible, this

year. Asters now are well represented,
but the height of their season still is
in the future. Some good carnations
are to be had and these bring fair
prices, but the great bulk of the offer-
ings are inferior and cheap. Any quan-
tity may be purchased from the street
venders at 15 cents per dozen, or two
dozen for 25 cents. Sweet peas are
good for this time of the year.

A few lilies are offered and they
clean up easily. There are stocks, corn-
flowers, coreopsis, etc. In fact, all sum-
mer stock is in great supply, especially
statice, gypsophilas and scabiosas. The
present supply of zinnias shows excep-
tionally fine quality. Hydrangeas, both
pink and blue, are plentiful and have
a good sale. There is little change in
the rose situation since last reported,
with the exception that Beauties are
rapidly going off crop. Russell and
Hadley are in heavy supply and the fine
offerings of Ophelia make that rose
more popular than ever. Gardenias are
off crop and orchids continue in light

D. Raymond, of the Garden City Pot-

tities of plants are being potted in this
vicinity this year, judging from the
large orders for pots being placed with

southern part of the state. He visited
Los Angeles and San Diego and highly
praised the exposition in the latter city.

Many friends sympathize with H.
Hayashi in the death of his wife in
Japan, where she went some time ago
in the hope of recovering her health.

Many friends mourn the death of
Samuel Eldridge, proprietor of a flower
store at 1337 Twenty-fourth avenue.

Walter Hofinghoflf, of the MacKorie-
McLaren Co., is back at headquarters
after an automobile trip, which had as
its objective point the exposition at San
Diego.

Frank Burns, of San Eafael, is bring-
ing in a fine lot of blue hydrangeas
with large flowers, which are popular
in the local market. He has many new
seedling dahlias in bloom, some of
which he considers promising.

Elaborate plans are being made for
the annual picnic of the Pacific Horti-
cultural Society, which will be held
July 30. This outing, which is largely
attended by florists, nurserymen and
growers, is one of the big events in the
trade and this year's picnic promises
to eclipse all previous ones, A beauti-
ful spot in Eedwood canon, on the
Oakland, Antioch railroad, in Alameda
county, has been chosen for the scene
of th-e festivities. Many unique fea-
tures will be included in the program.

The Market.

A surplus of nearly all kinds of out-
door flowers causes some waste. The
sudden change to warmer weather dur-
ing the middle of June brought on
flowers which had been held back by
the late season. A fair quantity of
June wedding business was done,
though there were only a few events
that required flowers in large quanti-
ties. A small batch of bedding stock
is moving, but the season is practi-
cally closed. At the greenhouses grow-
ers are benching carnations and chry-
santhemums. Several are picking crops
of tomatoes grown in benches that pre-
viously held bedding stock. Budding
rose stock has started at the nurseries.

Martin & Forbes' New Store.

A noteworthy event in trade circles
was the opening, June 24, of the new
retail store of the Martin & Forbes Co.
This is the third location occupied by
the company in its twenty-five years of
business life, and it is the most pro-
gressive step ever taken by it. In seek-
ing new quarters the probable future
movement of the retail trade was con-
sidered and allowance was made for a
large expansion in business.

The main entrance and show window
are at 354 Washington street, with a
side entrance and show window on Park
street. The finish of the entire inte-
rior is dazzling white, with mirror
panels behind the main counter and
about the customers' cozy corner. The
floor is covered with cork linotile and
the counter and work table with heavy
moss-green linoleum.

Attractiveness and convenience for
customers and employees were the
things especially considered in arrang-
ing the store. The work table is located
near the Park street entrance, and is
screened from view by palms and other
foliage plants set on stationary pedes-

We were certainly pleased with the resul ts secured

from your Seed last year and florists who visited the University greenhouses said they
were the finest sweet peas they had ever seen. They made an unusually strong growth
and produced great Quantities of blooms.

I have received over 1000 such testimonials inside of ten months.

WARNIWG;— There are or will be advertised many so-called new Winter Spencers. I
have seen many new names on the Exhibition tables, but by careful examination all were
identical with my older Winter Orchid, years in commerce, excepting the Yarrawa. Should
you buy any such so-called novelty, test it side by side with my original varieties and
judge for yourself.

rive at New York on the Bermudian's
next trip for a visit to the trade.

The Henry Field Seed Co., Shenan-
doah, la., recently has been pushing for
South American trade and has worked
quite a little business in Argentina via
parcel post.

It has not been an especially good sea-
son for the growers of freesias and callas
on the coast, but there are so many grow-
ers now that the usual supply will be
forthcoming.

The obituary column this week contains
notice of the death of Walter P. Stokes,
of Stokes Seed Farms Co., Morrestown
N, J., and an ex-president of the Ameri-
can Seed Trade Association.

Advices from Teneriffe, recently re-
ceived by some of the large buyers, do
not indicate that there will be any seri-
ous shortage in the supply that will be
needed in the United States this autumn.

Holland bulb growers who ordinarily
find their principal outlet in England are
circularizing the American trade with
cut-price offers, especially of hyacinths,
and indications are that the market in
Holland has been badly demoralized by
the embargo of the British.

Excavation work has been completed
on the basement of the $25,000 seed ware-
house being erected at Twin Falls, Idaho,
by the Courteen Seed Co., North Mil-
waukee, Wis. The Courteen Seed Co.
heretofore has bought Twin Falls tract
products through local agents.

Trade comment coming from England
seems to indicate that no one but the
seed stores bemoans, the prohibition of
Dutch bulb imports. The trade seems
most to deplore the bar put up against
Japanese lily bulbs, forcers and retail
store men agreeing that there will be noth-
ing to take the place of the profit this item
has made.

The will of the late Frank S. Poole,
head of the Poole Seed Co., of Tacoma,
Wash., who died March 24, recently was
filed for probate in the Superior Court
by his son, C. L. Poole, who was named
executor. The petition sets forth that
Mr. Poole left an estate valued at $37,000.
$13,000 being in personal property and
the remainder in stock of the seed com-
pany. The estate is left in trust to the
widow. The children of the deceased,
named in the will, are Franklin L., Ches-
ter A., Mabel G. Poole and Mrs. F. M.

of clover seed. The seedsmen point out
that they are unable to comply with
the requirements of the Tennessee seed
act in its present shape, in that it is
impossible, in buying seeds from all
over the country, for them to ascertain
the quantity of impurities in each ship-
ment.

The Tennessee pure seed act was
passed and became a law April 27, 1909.
Its principal provisions are:

That every parcel, package or lot of agricul-
tural seeds as hereafter defined In this act, and
containing one pound or more, offered or ex-
posed for sale In Tennessee, for use within this
state, shall have affixed thereto, in a conspicu-
ous place on the outside thereof, distinctly

At least 95% of the lot was
perfect, and we sold the
plants at prices ranging
from $2.50 to $5.00 each.
The photo shows 15 plants
forced in our greenhouses.
These plants had 217 flow-
ers and buds.

Yours very truly,
Fred A. Danker.

These well known bulbs, from
the Stephens farms in Bermuda,
are due here in July and August,
and if you want a case or more,
send us your order now. The
photo mentioned above will be

SENATE CUTS OUT FREE SEEDS.

Again, and unexpectedly, there has
been an attack on congressional free
seeds that has penetrated the front line
trenches.

The Senate voted thirty-three to
twenty-one against the distribution of
government seeds when considering the
agricultural appropriation bill July 1.
Senator Kenyon attacked the house
provision, calling it congressional graft,
costing for seeds alone more than a
million dollars in the last four years,
in addition to half a million for post-
age and labor.

The Senate will send the bill to con-
ference without the appropriation for
the 1917 distribution, but that need not
seriously alarm those who have been
profiting on government orders; it has
happened before that the conference
committee has put the seeds appropria-
tion back in the bill after it had been
cut out by one side or the other of the
Congress. C. L. L.

MAILS BAR IMPORT BULBS.

The following order has been issued
by the U. S. Treasury Department at
the instance of the Federal Horticul-
tural Board:

The department is advised by the Secretary
of Agriculture that the prohibition of the Im-
jiortatlon of plants by mall, as published In
T. D. 33933 of December 1, 1913, has been ex-
tended to Include all growing or living plants,
seeds, and other plant products for propagation,
except field, vegetable, and flower seeds, and
that the term "field sreds" Includes only seeds
of cereals, grasses, and other annual farm crops,
and does not Include bulbs and tubers. T. D.
33933 Is accordingly amended.

MAKING IT SPECIFIC.

In view of the pressure being brought
to bear on the seed trade in America
to secure waiver of the disclaimer, the
following on the contract blank of a
British grower will be of interest:

While we believe that all seeds, bulbs and roots
delivered by us in fulfillment of any sale, fully
satisfy what is specified. It is impossible, by rea-
son of the practical difficulties Involved, for us to
be certain, or to assume responsibility, that this
is so.

We cannot, therefore, and do not, hold ourselves
liable should any such seeds, bulbs or roots -not
be of the kind or correspond to the description
specified: nor must we be deemed to undertake
any condition or give any warranty, either bf
any express words or implication, as to kind,
description, quality, purity, growth, freedom
from variation or intermixture, productiveness
or other matter whatsoever in connection with
any seeds, bulbs or roots sold by us. We will in
no case be responsible for the resulting crop.
Every purchaser must accept these terms and
conditions.

NOT DURANCE VILE.

General Sherman 's well known defini-
tion of war does not apply in every in-
stance, according to Edgar C. Bloch,
salesman for C. C. Morse & Co., of San
Francisco. During the last four months
Mr. Bloch has been the victim of the
fortunes of war. He does not call them
the misfortunes of war, as he enjoyed
the greater part of his experience.

Last February Mr. Bloch went to
Victoria, B. C, to solicit some orders
for his house. He registered at the
Empress hotel, but instead of spending
the night there he found himself in the
confines of a jail, charged with being a
German spy. Mr. Bloch was accused of
spying out the movements of troops and
having tried to purchase a Canadian of-
ficers ' uniform, all of which caused con-
siderable astonishment to the salesman.
He is of French descent, although born

Finally the charges of espionage were
dropped and Mr. Bloch was moved to a
detention camp and interned as an
"alien suspect." There he remained
more than three months, gaining his
liberty only a short time ago through

the influence of good American friends.
"Life in this camp was just one

We offer seed of a strain of Mignonette which we have reselected
for many years. Read the following letters and judge for yourself
if it is not worth while to buy the best seed obtainable:

FROM WHOLESALERS

Rochester, N. Y.. Feb. 4, 1916.
Mr. David J. Scott. Corfu. N. Y.

Dear Sir: The Mignonette that you have been shipping us is
the best that is coming to this market, and we have been able to
sell this in preference to other shipments, and maintaining a
higher price. I think you have an exceedingly fine strain— in
fact, the very best one that I have ever seen.

Very truly yours.

Geo. B. Hart.

Buffalo, N. Y.. Dec. 20, 1915.
Mr. David J. Scott. Corfu. N. Y.

Dear Sir: We received the Mignonette this a. m. and would
say the shipment was sold out as soon as it was laid out on the
sales table. The Quality certainly was excellent; no finer has
been received in this market in some time, and as the time is near-
ing the holidays we hope to be able to receive and handle all you
can ship. We will warrant that the returns will prove satisfactory.
Yours very truly, Wm. F. Kasting Co.

Dear Sir: Your strain of Mignonette produces a very even
cut. It began blooming with me about Thanksgiving and has
varied very little up to the present time, cutting the same amount
each week. The quality of the stock is good.

Yours truly. H. B. Weaver.

TIME TO SOW

It is said that there is a time for everything, but
never mind about that, it is surely time to sow seed
of SNAPDRAGON for winter blooms. Grow your
own stock from seed and have good plants at hand
when you need them. Besides securing something
good for yourself, there will be a strong market for
any surplus plants, as the rainy season throughout
our country has spoiled lots of stock. Get busy to-
day and select from the following good ones :

Seed of our famous Silver Pink Snapdragon, $1.00 per pkt.;
3 for *2.5G; 7 for $5.00. Seed of Nelrose, Phelps' White,
our Yellow. Garnet, Buxton, and Fancy Mixed, at 35c per
pkt.; 3 for $1.00. Free cultural directions; all orders cash.

Remember — we grow Snapdragons, and that it is time to
sow seed of them.

MINNEAPOLIS.

Various Notes.

The armory grounds are resplendent
with hardy herbaceous flowers. The ex-
tensive collection dissipates the old
idea that we have few perennials that
will survive the winter. The lowest
temperature last winter was 35 degrees
below zero.

Easter lilies have been scarce this
season and are in great demand. First-
class stock easily brings $10 per hun-
dred. Peonies are plentiful and can be
bought for $1.50 per hundred. Boston
ferns are scarce and in muchidemand.
Growers who have benches to plant are
unable to purchase 2%-inch stock. One
grower on the lookout for 5,000 ferns
could not procure 500.

Attorney Johnson, the administrator
of the Minneapolis Floral Co., left his
post July 1, his work completed. The
unusually heavy rains and little sun-
shine have combined to badly brown
Boston ferns in vases and window
boxes.

Miss H. B. Whitted had a busy week
of funeral work. She had a striking
decoration at the Fifth street store,
comprising many varieties of del-
phiniums. Many of the spikes were
more than five feet tall.

O. C. Swanson had a fine display of
hardy flowers in his Nicollet avenue
store. He reports trade better than
ever.

T. S. Lynes was working overtime
last week to keep up with wedding
orders.

The W. Desmond Floral Co., on Lyn-
dale avenue, has a nice lot of sweet
peas and other stock. Arrangements
have been made for Rice Bros, to han-
dle the stock. This will enable W. D.
to sit right on the job.

July 1 Mr. Pangalos severed his long
connection with the Minneapolis Fruit
Store, where he managed the flower
section. His new location is 2V22
Chicago avenue.

Lyndale avenue, intends to specialize

supply of roses, but carnations are grad-
ually producing fewer blooms. Outdoor
flowers, such as Dorothy Perkins and
Hiawatha roses, had their week and
brought good returns to the growers
who took pains to bring in this stock in
good condition.

The general reports are that the
month of June was most satisfactory;
many say it was the best they ever
had.

Among the new arrivals are water
lilies, which find a limited sale. Out-
door peas and phloxes now are to be had
in quantities. Larkspur was in good
demand this season.

The E. C. Ludwig Floral Co. is send-

pages. It is nicely illustrated and

The retailers are using larkspurs with
combinations of roses and other flowers
in a most satisfactory way.

Miss Eliza McKinley, head saleslady

for the growers to throw out stock as

New Early Flowering Giant Pansies

Or Winter Blooming

An entirely new and distinct s'train of Pansies. The main advan-
tage of these new Pansies over all hitherto existing Pansies is the
extreme earlinessof flowering and its unusual hardiness, which enables
them to withstand quite severe Winters, and to bloom right on into
the Summer. Sown at the same time as other Pansies, they begin
flowering the early part of March or as soon as the snow is off the
ground, many times having four or five large flowers to a plant, when
all other Pansies are only showing buds. The flowers are large, well
formed and fragrant. They are highly recommended for Autumn
planting on graves, and for very early bedding, as well as for early
cut flowers. Each color separate or mixed.

Greens are plentiful at this time and
are in fine shape. Valley is not so
scarce as it was and little trouble is
experienced in supplying all orders. The
stock is somewhat better than it has
been, but the general quality is only
medium.

Sweet peas still are with us in large
quantities, but the quality is going
down. They have had a good season
and some fine stock was handled.
Plants still are moving briskly and
have done exceedingly well until now.
The call for Boston ferns has been
heavy this year and many orders were
turned down. Peonies have been sell-

is bringing anything at this time.

The Florists^ Review

July 6, 1916.

The outing was the largest ever held by
this firm and everyone agreed that he
had a "big time."

The crowd from the store and the
range on Humboldt avenue was taken
to the grounds in the big auto trucks
of the firm and the musicians em-
ployed for the occasion made things
lively coming and going, as well as
at the grove. At the time of leaving
some little trouble was experienced in
starting one of the trucks, but this
difficulty was soon overcome.

Following are the prize-winners in
the various contests:

Potato race, lor ladles — Miss D. Jens, first;
Miss Z. Brayer, second.

Nail-driving contest, for ladies — Mrs. Ileuer,
first; Mrs. G angler, second.

Ladies' race— Miss D. Jens, first; Miss D. Uo-
senau, second.

Boys' race — C. Semmelman, first; A. Krasnau,
second.

Bag race, lor boys — A. Mueller, first; J. Frey-
tag, second.

Small girls' race— Pauline Gangler, first; Edna
Mueller, second.

Bag race, lor men — J. Semmelman, first; G.
Kasb, second.

Men's race — G. Kasli. first; P. Benke, second.

Batting contest— N. Sclimidt, first; A. Welke,
second.

Throwing contest — A. Welke, first; J. Semmel-
man. second.

Three-legged race — J. Semmelman and C. Retz-
loff. first; M. Mans and G. Kash, second.

Relay race, 5-man team — Brown Deer boys,
first.

Tug ol war, 6-man team — Brown Deer Iwys,
first.

The kettle contest for ladies showed
three with equal credits, who re-
ceived prizes of the same value. They
were: Miss F. Schneider, Mrs. F.
Berndt and Miss Louise Dickow. One
of the main events of the day was a
ball game between the Brown Deer

The Florists' Review

July 6, 1916.

Some of Those Who Attended the Forty-second Annual Convention of the American Association of Nurserymen.

THE MILWAUKEE CONVENTION.

[The opening seHslons were fully reported in
The Review for June 28.1

Officers Elected.

President — John Watson, Newark,
N. Y.

Vice-president — Lloyd C. Stark, Lou-
isiana, Mo.

Treasurer — Peter Youngers, Geneva,
Neb,

Executive, committee— J. B. Pilking-
ton, Portland, Ore., and E. S. Welch,
Shenandoah, la., to serve three years.

Counsel — Curtis Nye Smith, Boston.

Next place of meeting — Philadelphia.

Under the new constitution the secre-
tary is chosen by the executive com-
mittee and holds ofl5ce at its pleasure.
The veteran, John Hall, last year ex-
pressed his desire to retire as soon as
the committee could agree on his suc-
cessor.

Smith Becomes General Manager.

At a meeting after the close of the
convention the executive committee ap-
pointed Curtis Nye Smith, of Boston,
as secretary with additional title of
general manager of the association. The
title was chosen because the new work
outlined for most of the committees
calls for the cooperation of the secre-
tary and the legal counsel; the officers
and executive committee felt that it
was great good fortune that Mr, Smith
was willing to devote so considerable a
part of his time to the affairs of the
association, with his excellent office or-
ganization and thorough acquaintance
with nursery and seed trade affairs.

A Highly Successful Meeting.

This convention, which was the forty-
first, was a business affair from start
to finish, the only recreation being after
final adjournment, in the form of an
automobile tour of the city as the guests
of the local Good Eoads Association.
The attendance was the largest in the
history "of the organization and nearly
everyone stayed in the meetings as long
as the convention was in session. The
program proved to be a little too elabo-
rate to carry out in detail, but "was
skillfully arranged to hold interest. The
idea uppermost in every mind appeared
to be to push along the work of reor-
ganization started last year and to get
the new plans into operation. Nothing
was permitted to distract attention
from this great objective. The asso-
ciation now has the membership and the
money; the next thing is to get the

work done that will justify the scheme
of additional dues.

The Association's Income,

The most gratifying feature of the
convention was the evidence it gave
that the membership is not to be appre-
ciably decreased by the increased cost,
at least not until the new plan has had
a thorough trial. In advance of the
meeting 364 members paid, w^hile at
Milwaukee twenty-seven others were
admitted, making an enrollment to date
of 391. The following is the enrollment
for each of the last ten years:

The income up to the closing of the
books just prior to the convention for
the last ten years has been as follows:

1916 $5,829.8o 1911.

No Uniform Business Terms.

The matter of uniform business terms
came to the A. A. N. from the Western
Association of Nurserymen, which in
December, 1914, appointed a committee
with J. W. Schuette at its head, to con-
sider the matter and to report to the
national body at the Detroit meeting in
June, 1910, at which time the recom-
mendations were referred to the execu-
tive committee for consideration. The

executive committee brought forward a
recommendation for universal business
terms, and suggested what they might
be, but it was apparent that this was
principally for the purpose of passing
the proposition back to the members.
There was a long debate, showing a
wide divergence of individual customs
and views, and the matter finally was
disposed of by laying on the table.

The executive committee, however,
has had the trade terms, embodying
short credits, cash discounts and other
features, printed in the form of a
sticker to be supplied in quantity, to
those who will use them, by the pecre-
tary and a number of leading houses
already have put the modern principles
into practice. This ia lioped to work
a gradual change and consolidation of
opinion among those n <w unwilling to
attempt uniformity.

Bureau of Collections and Statistics.

Curtis Nye Smith, counsel for the
association, not only reported on the
work done in the last year but discussed
a practical collection bureau for mem-
bers. On recommendation of the execu-
tive committee it was voted to proceed
■with the organization of such a bureau,
in charge of Mr. Smith, who was re-
tained as counsel.

The officers also were instructed to
undertake the development of a bureau
of statistics to gather and disseminate
to members only facts with regard to
supplies of stock, present and prospec-
tive. Such information is expected to
assist in making prices and also in
guarding against either a surplus or a
shortage on any one item.

The Confidential Bulletin.

It was voted that the Confidential
Bulletin, of which three issues were dis-
tributed in the preceding year, be con-
tinued, that it be made the only official
organ of the association and that its
circulation be confined to members.

The publication will carry no adver-
tisements and will be issued as fre-
quently as circumstances justify. Its

principal purpose will be to communi-
cate to members such trade information
as may be obtained that is properly for
members only, such as crop statistics
gathered with members' money; other-
wise non-members would receive, as in
the past, practically the same benefits
that members get from the activities of
the association.

A Trade Directory.

A resolution was adopted instructing

the vice-president in each state to ap-
point a committee of not more than five
reputable nurserymen of his state to
act with him in preparing a list of all
the bona fide nurserymen in his state.
These lists are to be forwarded to the
secretary for publication and distribu-
tion to members. Before the work is
begun a rule will be laid down for the
guidance of all the committees, so that
the work will be uniform.

This action was taken following the
paper of J. H. Dayton, of Painesville,
on "Who Should Get Trade Prices," in
which he made it appear that the list
now most generally used contains the
names of as many farmers as nursery-
men in his state, Ohio.

Publicity Is Planned.

One of the sessions was devoted to
the discussion of publicity, meaning
rather general publicity for nursery
products than individual publicity for
nurserymen, although the latter re-
ceived some attention. So deep an im-
pression was made that at the closing
session steps were taken to organize a
campaign to cover five years and to
cost approximately $100,000. The pur-
pose is to create greater interest in
nursery products, to promote the city,
town and country beautiful idea and to
increase the use of and sale for plants
of all kinds. The funds are to be raised
by subscription.

Inspection and Legislation.

A large part of the program had to
do with inspection and legislation, as
has been the case for several years, but
the interest was distinctly on the. wane ;
laws are no less numerous and no less
confusing or harassing, but the sus-
ceptibilities of nurserymen have become
blunted by familiarity. No action was
taken beyond continuing the usual com-
mittees and retaining counsel to keep
track of and shape such matters as may
be possible for the interests of the
trade.

National Protective Association.

The American Nurserymen's Protec-
tive Association held its annual meet-
ing June 28, in connection with the

Philadelphia.

Retailers' Protective Association.

The American Retail Nurserymen's
Association held its annual love feast
June 28, at Milwaukee, in connection
with the A. A. N. convention. The

MERRY CHRISTMAS

FIVE YEARS AGO we offered you Pocahontas, with the assurance that it would soon displace all other

crimsons. Some of you bought it and were glad. Others turned it down and later on regretted having done

so. That is why the demand for the cuttings was fully double the supply this past winter. This is not

meant for a complaint, but merely to caution you not to make the same mistake with Merry Christmas. We

believe that Merry Christmas will take the same place among scarlets that Pocahontas holds among the
crimsons. If you have confidence in our judgment, send us your order now and get in on the early deliveries. Dissemina-
tion begins next December.

PACIFIC COAST ASSOCIATION.

The Pacific Coast Association of Nur-
serymen held its annual meeting at
Medford, Ore., June 20 to 22. It was a
business session, no program having
been announced, devoted exclusively to
a discussion of the affairs of the asso-
ciation and of its members in dealing
with each other and with the public.
As a part of the work the Southern
Oregon Experiment Station and local
orchards and nurseries were inspected.
The following officers were elected:

President — F. W. Wiggins, Toppenish,
Wash.

Vice-presidents — B. A. Mitchell,
Orenco, Ore.; A. L. Wister, Grass Val-
ley, Cal.; P. A. Dix, Roy, Utah; Chas.

and S. A. Miller, Milton, Ore.

Kittanning, Pa.— The Chula Vista
Ranch Co., which has been doing a small
florists' business aside from its other
interests, intends to invest in more
greenhouses this summer for growing
stock for retail.

Onarga, 111. — The Gould Co., which
grows only for the wholesale cut flower
market, has had a successful peony sea-
son. In addition to the local field, the
company has plantations at Grayville,
in southern Illinois, and at Halls, Tenn.,
so that cutting covers more than a
month.

Edwardsville, lU. — The long and
short of the matter is that Emil Klein
one day met Miss Blanche Miller, a
school-teacher. Came a period of court-
ship, which terminated last month to
the tune of wedding bells. Then fol-
lowed two weeks' honeymoon to Mil-
waukee and other northern points. Mr.
and Mrs. Klein now are "at home."

The Florists' Review

July 6, 1916.

NEWARK, N. J.

The Market.

Considering the time of the year,
prices have kept up well during the
last ten days. As a rule flower prices
in this market take a tumble July 1,
as weddings, graduations and other fac-
tors that create a demand for stock
at this time are almost over.

Valley is scarce now; it brings $6
to $8 per hundred. Some of the best
goes as high as $10. Eoses are good, ex-
tra quality whites, Ophelias and Sun-
bursts marking time at $8 per hundred.'
On account of the cold, rainy weather,
outdoor roses have been later than usual,
and this has served to keep up the price
of the greenhouse - grown varieties.
Peonies are gone, save a few cold stor-
age ones, which are of poor grade and
not in much demand. Gladioli are com-
ing into the market in small lots, but
their quality is not good as yet. There
does not seem to be much of a demand
for them. Sweet peas are arriving in
considerable quantities and are reason-
able in price. Carnations are keeping
up well, the quality of some of the
stock being exceptionally good for this
season. Orchids are cheap, making 25
cents each. Callas are low-priced. Eas-
ter lilies are of fine quality for this
season and bring a fair price. Coreop-
sis, centaureas, sweet williams, daisies,
marigolds and other seasonable flowers
are abundant.

Various Notes.

Philips Bros, report business good,
with much wedding and funeral work.

Penek 's Flower Market, at Broad and
Market streets, has been making a spe-
cialty of graduation bouquets and bas-
kets.

Incorporation papers have been filed
by the Garfield Floral Co., of Garfield.
The authorized capital stock is $45,-
000, the incorporators being Isidor and
Samuel Shemin and Max J. Weinman.

R. Plebany, of Irvington, reports a
fine season. He finds great difficulty
in getting enough workmen for his out-
door plantings, although he is offering
unusually high wages. R. B. M.

Grove City, Pa.— D. E. Raver, a

"The Wanamaker Boston Fern"
A "sport" from Nephrolepis Scholzell, with
longer, narrower, gracefully drooping fronds. It
is not so compact in growth as Scholzell, 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.

Greenhonse Heating,

TWO CONNECTED GREENHOUSES.

We expect to build two connected
greenhouses, each 24x100, running east
and west. The eaves will be six feet
high. The north wall will be boarded
or planked. The south wall will have
three feet of glass and the other three
feet will be planked. The ends, which
will be nine feet high to the peak, will
be planked to a height of three feet;
above that they will be glass. We shall
use 16x20 glass. The benches will be
raised ones. The service building and
boiler room will be in the southeast
corner. The outside temperature seldom
drops lower here than 10 degrees above
zero. We wish to maintain a tempera-
ture of 60 degrees. Please tell us what
size of flows and returns to use and
■where to put them. What should be
the rating of the boiler?

C. F. C— Miss.

About 1,500 square feet of radiation
will be required in the two houses, but
for economy in fuel and care we would
select a hot water boiler rated for 2,000
square feet of radiating surface.

We would run a 2%-inch flow pipe
under each ridge, and one upon the out-
side plate in each house, with another,
making five flows in all,' under the gut-
ter between the houses. For the re-
turns use four 2-inch pipes on the south
wall of the south house and three on the
north wall of the north house. Under the
middle benches of each house distribute
three returns, to be connected with the
flow pipes overhead. Upon the middle
■wall run five returns, to be joined at the
farther end of the house to the corre-
sponding flow pipe. If there is a parti-
tion between the houses, run the flow
pipe and two returns in the south room
and the three other returns in the north
room. Run the flow pipes with a slight
fall, and connect each of them with the
expansion tank at the highest point.

A SMALL 2-ROOM GREENHOUSE.

Enclosed you will find a diagram of
a small greenhouse, one compartment of
which is for heat-loving plants, such as
cucumbers, the other for carnations, etc.
I intend to heat with hot water. What
capacity of boiler will be required?
Can you give me the details of the pip-

ings

TO THE MAN WHO NEEDS A BOILER

The customers' Interest first — la the basis of the Kroeschell standard, and this principle
makes the Kroeschell policy the most liberal of all in the greenhouse boiler business.
The great variety of boilers that we make places us In a commanding position. We
make every type of boiler that Is used, from the smallest house heater to the largest
water tube steam boiler (600 horse power). For the above reason we can furnish the
most efficient boiler unit In every case.

It is the Kroeschell principle to suppiy only that type of boiler which is best suited to
the conditions, and under no circumstances do we take any other stand.

The Kroeschell

is making the most
wonderful greenhouse
heating record in the
world. Florists who
have used other makes
are constantly giving
the Kroeschell the
highest praise.

18,468,SS0 SQ. ft.
of glas3 was eauipped
with the Kroeschell
Boiler during the past
five years.

The Kroeschell

has replaced hundreds
of cast iron boilers. In
every case higher tem-
peratures are secured
with the Kroeschell
with the same piping
and with less fuel.

The Kroeschell is
sold direct from fac-
tory to users. This
eliminates the unnec-
essary middleman's
profit.

Every boiler made at our works is of the highest standard. Material — governed
by Kroeschell specifications — the best that money and brains can produce.
Workmanship — the kind that is an inspiration to all other boiler makers.
Boiler efficiency — determined by actual tests under working conditions. Boiler
ratings — honest and true blue — guaranteed actual working capacities.

rrobably you have wondered why the Kroeschell Greenhouse BoUer is not sold by any
of the greenhouse construction companies. In Justice to all concerned we feel it is our
duty to state that the KroescheU Boiler is never sold by anyone but — The KROESCHELL.
BROS. CO. — We have no agents, and as ou^ prices are based on sales direct from fac-
tory to user, we do not quote anyone dealing in hollers special resale prices. Our stand
in this matter has brought out a lot of competition; nevertheless, the great efflciency
of the Kroeschell Greenhouse Boiler cannot be disputed, and in spite of the keen com-
petition the Kroeschell Greenhouse Boiler is heating more glass than any other make —
"DO NOT GET CHEATED OCT OF THE KROESCHELL BUT PLACE YOUR ORDER
DIRECT AT ONCE."

Kricschell Boiler— Hilf the Ciil ind
lalf the Work

Your No. 13 Boiler is carrying
25,000 sq. ft. of glass, and I can keep
it at 60 degrees in the coldest
weather without any trouble. I have
three cast iron boilers also, heating
a range of 25,000 sq. ft. of glass, but
the No. 13 Kroeschell Boiler only
takes half the coal and half the
work to get the same results.

The Kroeschell Is doing the same
work as good and as saving as ever.
Me for Kroeschell Boilers.

Kroeschell Best of AU

Our No. 6 Kroeschell Boiler is heat-
ing 15,000 sq. ft. of glass, and it
would take care of more. We carry
a temperature from 70 to 85 degrees,
and have had no trouble in regard
to this. The Kroeschell has given
entire satisfaction.

Have had to contend with nearly
every other make of boiler on the
market, and in my estimation the
Kroescliell surpasses, without ex-
ception, any type or make.

(Signed) OTTO PETERSON.

Get the Kroeschell First

Several years ago Mr. Pontlng corresponded with us in regard
to the Kroeschell Hot Water Boiler, but was persuaded to install
two sectional cast iron boilers which were claimed to be superior
to the Kroeschell

In the meantime we placed a number of Kroeschell Boilers in
the immediate vicinity of Mr. Pontlng, and he could not help
but notice their great efflciency. and last year, while at the con-
vention, he placed his order for his first Kroeschell. The fol-
lowing letter speaks for itself:

"We like the Kroeschell Boiler very much. It gives entire
satisfaction, and it is so easy to flre. I will trade yon the two
cast iron sectional boilers for another like the Kroeschell I have."

July 16, 1913, Cleveland, Ohio. (Signed) FRED PONTING.

Kroeschell Replaces Cast Iron

In 1012 our cast iron sectional
boiler cracked in one section and we
ordered a No. Shi Kroeschell Boiler
by telegraph. This boiler is heating
10,200 sq. ft. of glass, besides the
office and potting shed, and you will
note this Is 1200 ft. more than its
rating. We have no trouble to main-
tain proper temperatures at any
time and the boiler has given per-
fect satisfaction.

With the Kroeschell we have added
one more house, but have not used
any more coal than with the cast
iron boiler and 3000 ft. less to heat.
One cast iron break-down was enough
for us, for we have found it pays to
get the best — the Kroeschell.

(Signed) MICHLER BROS. CO.
July 17, 1913, Lexington, Ky.

KroescheU Replaces 3 Cast Iron Boilers

The No. 6 Kroeschell which we
purchased some years ago is heating
18,000 sq. ft. of glass and we should
judge that it would take care of
5000 or 6000 ft. more easily.

Our houses require a temperature
of 50 to 52 degrees at night, and we
certainly do not have the least trou-
ble to keep temperatures in the cold-
est weather. We do not have to fire
our boiler as often aa our brother
florists who are using different makes.
The Kroeschell has replaced three
cast Iron sectional boilers, and it
certainly has given entire satisfac-
tion.

It only takes a few words to ex-
press the good quality of your boilers
and they are as follows: "Of all
firms handling boilers and advertising
them truthfully, the party buying a
boiler would have to get the Kroes-
chell, as you are certainly advertising
nothing but facts."

Thickness and Thinness
How they Both Count in Burnham ^q^
Boiler Economy

fflHE right thickness of the
casting of each section means
the right strength. Uniform
aess means an equal strength
at all points. Thick in some places
and thin in others, means the sec-
tion is only as strong as the thin-
nest spot.

The section shown here of a
water boiler is just the way it
looked after breaking out the side
to prove to ourselves, as we do
every so often, that the castings
are being made uniformly thick.

But there's another side to this
thickness question and that is: The
thinner the iron the quicker it trans-
mits heat to the water.
So we have worked out
the thickness to a point
where it has the right
strength and some to
spare, but not so thick
as to hinder quick heat-
ing.

Note on this section,
that hollow ridge run-
ning down the leg,
coming in direct con-
tact with the hot fire.
It's one of the several

important points contributing to
Burnham economy.

Now take a glance at the cut
above that looks like a bunch of key
holes. Notice how narrow they are
when coming in direct contact with
the burning flames, and then larger
at the top. The narrow part gives
a thin amount of water coming in
contact with a large amount of
heated surface, causing quick heat-
ing. The enlarged part at the top
gives room for expansion and rapid,
frictionless circulation.

Here then are some few of the
reasons why the Burnham heats so
quickly, circulates so rapidly, burns
so little coal, and lasts
so long.

It was designed to
do all these things bet-
ter than other cast
iron boilers; and it
does them better.
Freights are slow-
railroads are short of
cars. Order your
Burnham before you
want it and then
you'll have it when
you need it.

but, presuming it is in the garage, it
will be advisable to use the room ad-
joining the garage for cucumbers and
similar plants.

For heating the two greenhouses,
about 250 square feet of radiation will
be needed and we would select a boiler
rated at 400 square feet of radiation.

If to be used for heating the garage
also, it will be none too large if it has
a rating of 500 square feet. To heat
the greenhouses, we would run a 21/4-
inch overhead flow pipe about two feet
below the ridge to the farther side of
the carnation room, and, dropping
down a 2-inch pipe on either side of the
door, supply with each pipe three 2-inch
returns, which should be carried to the
corners of the house and then along
the walls of the carnation and cucum-
ber rooms back to the garage.

This will supply the 100 square feet
of radiation needed in the carnation

house, but, if cucumbers are to be
grown successfully during the winter,
the radiation in that Louse should be
sufficient for 70 degrees in zero weather.
The pipes which pass through the cu-
cumber house from the carnation house
provide about sixty-two square feet of
radiation, while 150 are needed. To
secure this, drop down a 2-inch pipe
from the main flow pipe overhead, at
the point where it enters the carnation
house, and with this feed two coils,
each containing four 2-inch pipes, run-
ning in either direction from the door
of the carnation house to the corners

of the room and then along the sides
to the garage. This will make seven
pipes on each side wall of the cucum-
ber house and three on each wall of the
carnation house. Connect the pipes on
each side wii^ the boiler by means of
a U%-inch return.

BUIIiDINa AND PIPINa A HOUSE.

I am planning to build a greenhouse
23x100, with 4-foot concrete walls and
two feet of glass above the concrete. I
wish to place the heating coils on the
outside walls and have no pipes under-
neath the beds. How many 2-inch pipes
will be needed in the house? It is
to be used for general retail purposes.
A 3-inch pipe will rise from the boiler
to what will be the highest point of the
system. Will 2-inch pipe do for the
flows? "Will it be satisfactory to have
the boiler on a level with the green-
house? If not, how deep a pit will be
necessary?

Would 16x16 glass be a good size?
How should I arrange the benches to
get the most possible room? How can I
make concrete benches? How thick
should the greenhouse walls be? What
should be the height of the greenhouse
in the center? In the coldest weather
in this locality the outside tempera-
ture sometimes drops to 20 degrees be-
low zero, but only for a week or so. I
shall have patent ventilators. What
size should the ventilators be? Should
they be continuous?

L. M. & S.— N, S.

For heating the house described, we
would use two 3-inch flow pipes on the
plates and fourteen 2-inch returns, mak-
ing one flow and seven returns on each
wall. If the end of the house farthest
from the boiler is exposed to the pre-
vailing cold winds, it would be desir-
able to provide radiation along the end
of the house. In that case we would
run a 2i/4-inch flow on each plate and
with each flow feed four 2-inch returns.
Then run a third flow, 2V^-inch,
about three feet below the ridge, and
at the farther end of the house connect
it with six 2-inch returns. Run three
of these each way to the corners of the
house and then along the sides of the
house back to the boiler. While 2-
inch pipe might be used for the flows,
we prefer to use the larger sizes. If
for any special reason the smaller size
is desirable, at least five flows and
twelve returns will be needed.

It would be well to have 4-inch pipes
for the main flows and returns, since at
least 1,100 square feet of radiation will
be needed, but if the 3-inch main is
not too long it will answer. The best
circulation will be obtained if the top
of the boiler is as low as the coils, or
lower. While 16xl6-inch glass answers
well, we would prefer 16x20 or even
16x24.

We do not consider twenty-three feet
as economical a width as one a little
wider or narrower. The benching de-
pends upon the class of plants to be
grown, but we would suggest the use of
three benches, with narrow walks next
to the walls and two slightly wider
walks between the benches, or a bed
two and one-half feet wide at each wall
and three beds about four feet wide in
the middle of the house. If the house is
to be used merely for growing, the out- .
side walks need not be more than fif-
teen inches wide, but it would be well
to give the others a width of eighteen

The upper edge need not be more than

reinforcing the bottom slabs, three 14-
inch rods should be placed about three-

McCray Florists
Refrigerators

The McCRAY construction keeps flowers cool and fresh longer
than by any other system of refrigeration. It provides an even
temperature of the correct degree for cut flowers and stops the
great waste and profit loss that is caused by imperfect refrigeration.

The various compartments in a McCRAY are of different
sizes to accommodate the different lengths of cut flower stems and
your flowers are given an inviting display.

For interior linings you have your choice of either handsome
bevel plate mirror or beautiful white enamel, which are very easy
to clean. The exterior may be of any finish desired to match the
interior of your store woodwork or other fixtures.

Invest in a McCRAY. Make it a partner in your business.
You will value it more highly than its mere intrinsic dollar-and-
cents value. Investigate anyway!

The Market.

The market was more satisfactory
last week, and stock moved better.
The weather has been considerably
warmer, and the market is well sup-
plied with stock. There do not, how-
ever, appear to be many large orders,
but there is a steady trade along smaller
lines, which is considered satisfactory
for this time of the year. Outdoor
stock is overplentiful. Large quanti-
ties of outdoor roses are cut daily and
are found useful in design work.
Many sweet williams arrive, and they
move well. Carnations are plentiful
and sell at reasonable prices. Sweet
peas are of good quality, but they have
shortened considerably. They are slow
in arriving, but the demand is good.

Roses of all kinds are plentiful and
sell well. American Beauties are arriv-
ing in fine shape. Valley is of good
quality and is moving freely.

Delphiniums, single and double, move
easily, being used in decorations with
daisies. Peonies are almost over.
Gladioli arrive daily and sell finely.
Easter lilies are slowing up now. Little
is seen of potted plants, but most of
the florists are making up crocks of
variegated plants, with verbenas, daisies
and other outdoor stock. These sell well
and bring good returns. Palms and
ferns sell satisfactorily. There appear
to be enough greens for present de-
mands.

Various Notes.

W. A. Elder, of the Lord & Burnham
office, is on a vacation at his father's
country place at Ocean Beach, Long'
Island.

Henry P. Neun had an artistic rock-
ery window at his store last week. The
North street store reports good busi-
ness, as well as the branch at Hotel
Rochester.

Frank McLuis is doing a lively busi-
ness, though he says it is not so good
as it might be. He had a good window
of old-fashioned flowers last week.

Marriage licenses issued in Rochester
during June totaled 426, the largest
number of anv month except June of
1914, when the total was 457. The 426
weddings certainly . kept the florists
busv.

The annual flower day was held Fri-
day, June ."^0. Thousands of roses, car-
nations and other flowers were sold by
girls, the proceeds to be given to the
Rochester Free Dispensary and Chil-
dren 's hospital.

H. E. Bates, of the Lord & Burnham
Co. lo^al office, reports business as
being fairly good. He savs that, owing
to the country's unsettled state, things
are not moving so fast as thev might.
Growers are making inquiries daily, but
they do not seem to come to anv deci-
sion. H. J. H.

Laramie, Wyo. — One man after an-
other has leased the Overland Gardens,
which are owned by a lawyer residing
here, but none of the lessees was suc-
cessful and each of them quit after a
short time. G. A. Hergert is the latest
to have a try at the florists' business
via the Overland route. Mr. Hergert
says he does not know whether or not
he will succeed, but that he is going to
put up a good bid for prosperity. Per-
haps Mr. Hergert can eliminate the
things that wrought failure to the
other fellows.

The Florists' Review

July 6, 1916.

WASHINCHON, D. C.

The Market.

The dull business period is here with
a vengeance and there is little doing in
the market. The business this season
has been more satisfactory than it has
been for several years, and the rush
kept up well through the month of
June. Prices are holding their own, be-
cause of the shortage of good stock.
This is particularly true of carnations,
which are bringing $2 per hundred, an
increase of fully fifty per cent. They
are selling well in the better grades,
with hardly enough last week to go
around.

Another shortage is in valley, which
at present maintains a standard price
of $6 per hundred. Last week many
large orders came in from southern
points, but the local wholesalers found
it impossible to supply the valley de-
sired. It will be more plentiful now,
or at least more easily available, as the
June wedding season is at an end and
a large part of the demand ceases.

There were hardly enough white roses
to meet all calls where good quality
was desired. The top price is $8 per
hundred, but the quality must be ex-
ceptional to bring that sum. Local
roses are going downhill fast, in qual-
ity. Northern roses also are showing
the effects of the lateness of the season.
Thus there is a live market for good
stock.

Among the gladioli, Halley, America
and Augusta are the best sellers and
are in fair demand. There is some call
for hydrangeas for decorative work.
These make a big showing for little
money and come in handy when there is
a scarcity of other stock. This year
has witnessed the introduction of a
number of flowers usually moved only
as potted plants in cut flower decora-
tive work.

Various Notes.

Traugott Malbranc, of Johnstown,
Pa.,' last week motored to Washington
with a party as a part of a vacation
of several weeks, which will include
long automobile trips.

Although workmen are busy getting
the store at 1206 H street, northwest,
in shape, the Leo Niessen Co., now at
1214 H street, will probably not be able
to take possession until about August
15. The new establishment, according
to Manager Albert Schnell, will be one
of the most modern in this section of
the country. Mr. Schnell is pleased with
the change soon to be made, as he
feels cramped in his present quarters,
due to the growth of the business.

C. D. MiMs, of Jacksonville, Fla., per-
formed a sad mission last week when he
accompanied the body of his sister to
a last resting place at Pittsfield, Mass.
She had been confined to the Garfield
hospital for about three weeks, having
undergone a serious operation from
which she failed to recover. Mr. Mills
was in the city during the entire period
of her illness. Death occurred June 29.

Frank Weaver, with the Leo Niessen
Co., is at Chesapeake Beach enjoying
a two weeks' vacation.

Miss Jessie Windsor, employed in the
office of the Gude Bros. Co., is away
for the month of July. She intends
spending a part of the period at Atlan-
tic City. C. L. L.

SAN FBANOISCO NOTES.

(Continued from page 50.)

Laren Co. retail store, expects to leave
early in July on a vacation trip to
'Lake Tahoe, accompanied by his fam-
ily. On his return F. H. Forrest is
scheduled to go south for his vacation.

It is said that a flower store is to
be opened on Geary street, near Stock-
ton, sometime in August, by H. A.
Avansino and his brother, who were
formerly members of the Fairmont
Floral Co., which was succeeded by the
MacRorie-McLaren Co. Mr. Avansino
now is in charge of the E. W. McLellan
Co. San Francisco office, during the
absence of J. A. Axell on a visit to the
east.

Martin Eeukauf was a recent visitor
to the local trade in the interests of
H. Bayersdorfer & Co., of Philadelphia.

Zinnias from Melrose, in Alameda
county, brought in by Jack Groves,
continue to sell readily, as they are
about the finest specimens of this flower
ever seen in this market, being re-
markably large and having unusually
long stems.

The Art Floral Co. is renovating its
shop on Powell street, near Geary, and
when the work now in progress is com-
pleted the place will look like new.

Mr. McLellan, of the E. W. McLellan
Co., says that the rose cut is lasting
longer into the summer than usual
and that business for the first six
months of 1916 was the best his con-
cern ever had. Beauties are becoming
scarce, but he says that there are
plenty of Russell, Hadley and Ophelia.

News of the death of Eugene J.
Ferrari, which occurred June 26, was
received with many expressions of sin-
cere regret. Although he had been ill
at a sanatorium at Los Gatos, the end
came as a shock to his friends in the
trade. Funeral services were held at
St. Peter's church June 29, with inter-
ment in the Holy Cross cemetery. The
deceased was a native 5f Italy, but
spent most of his life in this country.
He was a member of the firm of Ferrari
Bros., prominent growers of this sec-
tion. Besides his brothers, Emile and
Peter, who were associated with him
in business, he is survived by his wife,
a daughter and another brother, Louis.

Schwerin Bros, are busy potting
Adiantum California. They will have
about 15,000 in 10-inch pots.

Luther Burbank has started suit in
the Superior court to recover $3,000 on
a promissory note issued by the Cali-
fornia Cactus Co. The note was origi-
nally issued to B. A. Crabtree by the
president of the cactus company, D. M.
Austermell, and assigned to Mr. Bur-
bank. S. H. G.

store on Fourth street. Both places
occupy a good deal of his time, and
Manager Wern says they are holding
up their end well, both at the growing
quarters and at the store.

At the Freeman-Lewis store some ele-
gant rose baskets have been shown —
something a little above the average.

A little more than the usual share
of business has been coming to the
store of Wolfskins' & Morris Goldenson
this week, according to J. Gordon, the
volatile manager. Look that up under
v., John.

Dan Stathatos, of the Broadway
Florist, is working up a mighty fine
business at his store on Broadway.
From small beginnings a few years ago
he has, by straightforward methods and
square dealing, built up a nice line of
transient retail trade, as well as a good
connection of credit business that he
holds through thick and thin. He de-
serves all credit for hard work and
up-to-date methods, and his store is
always attractive.

Frank Lichtenberg is feeling the call
of the wild, and is talking of Bear val-
ley as a place in which to recuperate.

Geo. W. Smith says if people are
foolish enough to get married, they may
as well come to Seventh and Figueroa
streets for the flowers, and lots of them
have been doing it of late.

The Germain Seed & Plant Co. is
practically sold out of the salable sizes
in all classes of popular shrubbery for
the season. The new plantings for the
coming year are looking well, and this
firm evidently will be well prepared to
take care of the big landscape business
that is bound to come after the present
building boom.

C. E. Morton is now connected with
Norris & Son, at their new store in the
Rosslyn hotel building.

Oscar Johanssen, of the Johansson
Seed Co., has just returned from an-
other northern automobile trip.

H. W. Turner reports sales of rose
plants keeping up well for so late in
the season. In cut flowers he is keep-
ing sold out daily, though the cut, of
course, is not so large as earlier in the
season. H. R. Richards.

RECORDS THE ROSES ^
9g GIVE GOOD GROWERS

The following article and table are published anonymously, but let
no one doubt the authenticity and painstaking accuracy. The Editor of
The Review knows the grower, the greenhouses, the stock and the whole-
saler, and most of the Readers would recognize the standing of all con-
cerned were the names divulged.

wm

LTHOUGH I am a rose
grower exclusively, I "was
greatly interested in the
article in The Review for
June 29, entitled "Keep-
ing Count of the Carna-
tion Cut," in which the
cut and cash income of a
Boston greenhouse estab-
lishment were set down in
detail. To me this was important as
affording the opportunity to compare
the income of a carnation grower with
the income of our own place in roses;
how much more interesting, then, must
have been the figures for other carna-
tion growers, giving them^the oppor-
tunity to compare, not oniy^ash in-
come, but the productivity and\profit-
ableness of the varieties this grower
used and with the varieties on their
own benches!

Sellable Figures Hard to Get.

Eeliable statistics of this character
are difficult to procure. In the first
place, though it should not be so, many
growers are not sufficiently awake to
the value of accurate knowledge as to
what their houses are turning out and,
although they may start at the begin-
ning of the season to keep a record,
before the year has rolled around they
have relaxed their effort and breaks
have occurred that render the whole
thing valueless. Then, too, growers do
not, as a rule, care to divulge such inti-
mate facts as the amount of their an-

nual income, although it may of course
be done to The Review in perfect con-
fidence. If the Editor knows the grower
to be painstaking and accurate, so that
his statements can be published anony-
mously, they can be accepted by the
trade as reliable and the identity of the
establishment can remain safe with the
Editor.

Boses Versus Carnations.

With this in view I am submitting
herewith a table showing the results
of the season that ended June 30, 1916,
at the place with which I am identified.
It will interest other rose growers as
affording a comparison with their own
results, for the six varieties of roses
covered in the table are the ones now
generally grown in quantity in green-
houses throughout the greater part of

the United States. Carnation growers
will note that the returrfs per square
foot of bench space are larger than
their own (the article of June 29
showed 66 cents per square foot of
bench for carnations), but I am inclined
to believe that there is no larger mar-
gin of profit, as the cost of growing
roses is no doubt fifteen per cent or
more higher than the cost of growing
carnations. The fuel bill alone, which
in our case is in excess of $8,000 for the
year, is sufficient to cut quite a hole,
while it also takes considerably more
labor to handle roses.

Cutting Twelve Months.

My table shows a pretty even cut for
the whole twelve months, although
practically all the plants were either
rested or replaced with young stock
during the year. This work, however,
was 80 regulated that a certain propor-
tion of each variety was kept in bloom
at all times, so as to keep up a contin-
uous cut, which is necessary where one
is growing roses for the Chicago mar-
ket, where the demand for good roses
never ceases, not even in midsummer.

Quantity or Quality.

The figures here given are gross
wholesale prices, the cut being sold ex-
clusively in one house in the Chicago
market, fifteen per cent to be deducted
as the cost of selling. The cut rates
as good average stock; in some other
years the place has been run to produce

The Florists' Review

Jdlt 18, 1916.

a longer average g^ade af roses and the
showing this year is n«t so high an av-
erage price as in the seasons referred
to, but the larger cut this year balances
the account.

In addition, a small sum was realized
on retail sales at the greenhouse, prob-
ably enough to increase the average in-
come per plant by 1 cent, but the total
per month is so small for each variety
that it is not included in this record of
sales. There was a small addition to
the revenue through the sale of bench
plants, but no young stock is grown for
the trade; the plants are handled for
cut flowers only; we consider it cheaper
to buy young stock from a specialist
than to produce it ourselves at the ex-
pense of space and flowers.

A Few Comparisons.

Eose growers who do not keep an ac-
curate record, of cuts and income (there
are a dozen who know what they cut
for each one who knows what he gets)
I am sure will be interested in noting
that while the cut per plant varies
from twenty-five to thirty-six blooms,
the income per plant varies only from
$1 to $1.11^; in other words, while
the number of flowers cut per plant
varies nearly fifty per cent, the cash
returns vary only eleven and one-fourth
per cent. Here it is, tabulated:

Then, as to the returns per square
foot of bench space, which, within cer-
tain limitations, is the real test of the
value of any crop. The following tabu-
lation shows that the variety grown
most heavily gave a return of slightly
under 75 cents per foot of space occu-
pied, while the variety planted in small-
est quantity gave nearly 83% cents.
This is the way it tabulates:

It will be interesting if some of the
growers of Ophelia, Mrs. Eussell and
American Beauty will supply, for com-
parison, records covering their cuts and
sales for the last year.

A DIFFEEENT FLOWER STORE.

Of course it is not so different — the
store with the group of sago palms in
front, as shown in the illustration — of
course it is not so different or distinc-

tive in the south as It would be in the
north, since the Cycas revoluta is a
comparatively common plant in south*
em gardens and' parks. Yet the store
is different from those that are gener-
ally seen in pictures. It is decidedly
different, too, from stores where the
decorations are confined to the show
window, and where outdoor opportuni-
ties for the display of stock are either
nonexistent or are entirely neglected.

The store with the cycas-planted
dooryard is located on St. Charles ave-
nue. New Orleans, La., and is conducted
by the Avenue Floral Co., of which
C. W. Eichling is president. Doubtless
the attractive grounds form a good ad-
vertisement, silently invoking attention
from many passers-by on week days and
from larger throngs on Sunday. For
just across the street is a handsome
church. And the appeal of the cycas
plants to the church-goers is not in-
congruous, but eminently appropriate,
suggesting Palm Sunday and the whole
calendar of religious festivals, while
steadily offering the reminder that the
Avenue Floral Co. has flowers to sell.

It is to be hoped, however, that not
many of the congregation, on going
home from church, straightway forget
the proffered flowers completely, just as
some church attendants go home and
forget their religion, leaving it in a
sort of cold storage in the church build-
ing, not to be aired or disturbed again
until the next Sunday arrives.

HOW MUCH FOR ADVERTISING?

By A. HUMASON, of the H. V. Swenson Co., Chicago.

PLAlfNTNO PRACTICAL PUBLICITY.

Analyzing the Prospects.

No two lines of business can be suc-
cessfully advertised by the use of one
method. One often hears that Mr.
Florist is handling his business and ad-
vertising in a manner similar to that of
Mr. Candy Man, who is unusually suc-
cessful; or Mr. Florist is attempting to
imitate profitable advertising placed by
.1 successful department store, or in
fact, imitate that of any prosperous re-
tailer. This cannot be successfully ac-
complished. No two lines of business
are suflSciently alike to enable their
owners to use the same advertising
methods. It is true all retail advertis-
ing has points of similarity, but in the
main the advertising for one retail busi-
ness is vastly different from that of
another.

When planning an advertising cam-
paign, your first need is to ascertain
just how many people or families in
your community are in the market for
that which you have for sale. With
this information in hand, it may easily
be learned just what percentage of the
total people or families your prospective
clientage bears. This is necessary in
order to learn how to reach this per-
centage. For instance, should you have
some staple article which is used uni-
versally, such as American Family Soap,
general publicity is about the best
method of advertising, because in ad-

vertising this article few people who
read the advertisements are uninter-
ested, but in advertising flowers you
will find you can figure on only about
one out of every ten people being a
prospective flower buyer.

Appropriations Minus Guesswork.

When you have learned just what
percentage of the people or families you
can figure on as possible patrons, the
next advertising step is to set aside an
advertising appropriation. This is a
harder task than would appear at a
casual glance. Of course, it is an easy
matter to make up your mind that you
will spend $1,000, $2,000 or even $5,000,
but can anyone who sets aside any of
these amounts offhand state why he has
set aside that amount? Is he reason-
ably sure that his business can stand
an advertising appropriation of that
size? There is only one safe way — the
advertising appropriation should be
based on the annual volume of business
transacted. If the business shows a
profit of forty per cent, then five per
cent of the total volume is not too
much to set aside as an advertising
appropriation, although there are many
florists who go as low as three per cent,
and some as high as eight per cent.

To use an illustration: You have
learned that you can figure on about
five per cent of the people in your
community as possible flower buyers,
and your annual volume of business is
$20,000. Should you go into advertis-

ing blindly, taking, say $1,000, or five
per cent, and apportion it among the
numerous advertising men by whom
you are approached, regardless of
whether the advertising be newspaper,
"direct appeal" literature, picture
houses, street cars, or billboards? By
all means, NO!

Absolutely your first need is to ascer-
tain just what kind of people compose
this five per cent. How shall this be
done? There are numerous ways. One
way is to learn the average income of
your customer. When this is done, this
information, together with your knowl-
edge of the people or families in your
community, should enable you to make
up a list of the five per cent. Another
way is to pick out people or families
in the better neighborhoods. Another
way, and probably the best method of
all, is to make a note of the various
people who frequent your store, regard-
less of whether they are cash or credit
buyers, and add to this list the names
of the various people or families in the
better neighborhoods, together with the
names of those who are receiving fairly
good incomes.

A Penny Versus Two Pennies.

Now, then, it is necessary to reach
these people. This has to be done by
direct literature, but of what nature?
Should it be done by literature placed
in an envelope and mailed under 2-cent
postage, or should it be handled under
1-cent postage? In recent years it was

the consensus of opinion that only liter-
ature under 2-cent postage would pay
in the end. This, however, has proved
incorrect. The only requirement you
place on your literature, or should
place, is that it be read, and you may
claim that the extra 1-cent postage
obtains an audience for 2-cent liter-
ature that is not accorded l-cent liter-
ature. This is true, but only to a lim-
ited extent, and I will show where this
same audience detracts from the value
of the 2-cent literature rather than adds
to it. For instance, you receive an
ordinary letter under 2-cent postage;
you open it. Your clerk, or whoever is
watching you, will tell you that as soon
as you find it to be an advertisement,
a disappointed look comes over your
countenance, and with a fling of your
hand you throw it aside. It is a well
established fact that human beings since
the beginning of time have desired the
"square deal" policy, rather than to
be deceived, and evidently advertising
under 2-cent postage is obtaining the
attention of the recipient under a false
pretense.

One-Cent Postage Wins.

If you doubt this statement, I ask
that you take careful note of the fol-
lowing illustration the next time oppor-
tunity offers. A faker sets his stand
on a street corner. While opening his
bag, he calls his hearers by means of a
ballyhoo. His hearers come, but as
soon as he commences to show his
wares, the busy man, whose attention
has-been falsely arrested, leaves, and
only idlers remain. You do not sell
your flowers to idlers. You sell your
flowers to thinkers, and most thinkers
are busy people.

Absolutely the best method is folders,
under 1-cent postage, without envelope,
beautifully designed, dignified and well
gotten up literature. When one is re-
ceived by the prospective customer, the
seasonable design and dignity of the
folder arrests his attention — and not
falsely either, because he knows it is
an advertisement — and with a flip of
the finger the folder is open and the
copy is instantly before him. Short,
snappy, well gotten up, dignified copy,
which the recipient will not fail to
read, in addition to having the recipient
open the folder in a satisfied mood,
conserves his time and furnishes your
most effective bid for his business.

A Comparison in Actual Cost.

The foregoing convincingly shows
the superiority of 1-cent postage, and
below I give you a few costs:

TWO-CENT LITERATURE.

Envelopps. 1,000 $ 4.00

copy, the equivalent In Interest of

tees you superior advertising at a
smaller cost.

Ad Mediums for Florists.

You will ask, shall I use the same
mailing lists for all occasions, such as

Group of Cycas Revoluta in Front of the Store of tfie Avenue Floral Co.

autumn announcement, fall planting,
Thanksgiving, Christmas, Valentine 's
day, Easter, Mothers' day, Memorial
day, weddings and graduations? Yes,
with the exception of Valentine's day
and Mothers' day, when a list of young
people should be obtained, if possible,
and used.

The method described advertises your
business to the known flower buyers in
a community. The question is, how
shall I reach the unknown flower buy-
ers, the newcomers in a community,
etc.t For this purpose, general public-
ity is needed, and to obtain general
publicity in the cheapest possible n\an-
ner it is necessary to use the news-
papers. Some florists are using moving
picture slides, others programs, some
street cars and three or four whom I
know, billboards. Below, I enumerate
a few reasons why I believe newspapers
are the best mediums of publicity in
this case.

Your advertisement on a moving pic-
ture screen is thrown before the audi-
ence— a goodly proportion of which,
being children, is of little or no value
as far as immediate business is con-
cerned— which is there to be amused.
The spectators' minds are not in a re-
ceptive mood; the audience is unable to
grasp your advertisement. This calls
to mind an incident which took place
about ten years ago, when moving pic-
ture advertising was in its infancy.

Movie SUdes Waste of Money?

A trip of approximately 500 miles
was made to put before a manufacturer
of a highly advertised necessity a
proposition to show his advertisement
to, say, 10,000,000 people weekly, for a
ridiculously low price. The method to be
used was moving picture slides. After
two or three weeks of careful thought
on the part of the manufacturer, the
proposition was flatly rejected. This
action being unexpected*, the reason was
asked. The manufacturer stated that

he had attended numerous moving pic-
ture shows to ascertain just what effect
the advertisements had on the audience.
He discovered that the advertisements
were shown against the wishes of the
audience, which was there simply to be
amused and nothing more. Further-
more, being in attendance simply for
amusement purposes, the minds were
not in receptive mood, and accordingly,
could not grasp his advertisement and
would not know whether Old Dutch
Cleanser or [Lighthouse Cleaner had
been advertised. If this be true of a
universally used article, it is more true
of flowers.

Slide advertising for the florist as a
means of getting immediate business is
not of much value. One will not buy
flowers after the show is over. The
time to reach the people for this direct
business is prior to attending the show.
Of course, for some lines of business,
such as cafes, candy shops, etc., which
have something that can be sold after
the show, slide advertising produces
immediate results.

Two Mediums Too Expensive.

The argument against slide advertis-
ing also covers programs.

Street car cards and billboards are
used to best advantage by national
advertisers in cooperation with news-
paper advertising and are of much less
value when used individually. It must
be borne in mind that most of the
people who attend the moving picture
shows read the street car ads and the
billboards.

To use slide advertising, programs,
street car and billboard advertising
properly, the expense would be prohibi-
tive, as advertising must be constantly
changed. Street car ads and billboard
advertising must be changed or re-
painted every thirty or sixty days to
be of much value, and the slide adver-
tising should be changed daily. How-
ever, should you follow newspaper ad-

vertising, the newspapers will gladly
assist you in obtaining feature cuts and
will also assist in the writing of new
copy, which is decidedly necessary.
Feature cuts of all kinds for newspaper
use can be obtained cheaply and even
good copy and cut services today are
not expensive.

System In Sales Promotion.

It is necessary for the florist or his
assistant to make a note of all news-
paper announcements of approaching
weddings, anniversaries, entertain-
ments, parties, socials and the like,
and to send to the families or parties
interested some sort of direct "ap-
peal" literature, preferably a booklet
or folder rather than a letter, for the
reason that the former are not so per-
sonal. Some florists are of the opinion
that this is quite a hard subject to
handle properly. On the contrary, it is
quite easy. Here is an illustration:
June 1, 1916, a florist instructs his
assistant to follow up such occasions
as noted above. The newspaper shows
on that date announcements of five
weddings. Literature is sent to the
parties and index cards made out. The
index card is then filed in a card
cabinet, to come up May 25, 1917, i^
time for the wedding anniversary, and
on that date the card is taken from
the cabinet by the florist's assistant.
It is wise to look into the status of
each card before sending out literature.
It is easily seen that, handled in this
manner, the work is reduced to a sys-

tem and to an economical minimum.

Campaign for City of 75,000.

To summarize, an ideal campaign for
a florist in a city of 75,000 people
would be:

A newspaper campaign of 700 to 800
inches, based on two 4-inch doable-
column advertlBements weekly, to be
enlarged on seven or eight occasions
during the year, at 40 cents per inch. .$320.00

Eight different pieces of literature, mail-
ing list of 3.000 384.00

Postage on 24,000 pieces of literature, at

1 cent per piece 240.00

Wedding and anniversary literature..^... 30.00

$974.00

When a florists' business in a city
of 75,000 inhabitants is properly han-
dled, and advertised as above, the vol-
ume of business should not be less than
$20,000, which would make the above
advertising appropriation schedule less
than five per cent.

While the above schedule calls for a
mailing list of 3,000 and a newspaper
campaign of 700 to 800 inches, many
prominent florists have started on a
much smaller campaign, which they
have built up to even greater propor-
tions than that outlined above. One
might start with a mailing list of only
a few hundreds and work up as results
come.

There is just one point that needs to
be borne constantly in mind when ad-
vertising: All advertising, properly de-
signed and with expertly written copy,
is good advertising, but properly de-
signed advertising, expertly written,
and systematically used, is what brings
in the greatest results.

ISETTLING DISPUTESi

I HOW THE NURSERYMEN DO IT |

^IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIUIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII^

ABBITBATION IS SUCCESSFUL.

On One Year's Trial.

In common with florists and seeds-
men who handle plants, nurserymen
have had their troubles, due to differ-
ences of opinion as to quality or as to
who was at fault in cases of loss. Con-
sequently, when the American Associa-
tion of Nurserymen was reorganized at
Detroit last year, one of the new things
provided for was an arbitration board.
This is the motion that was adopted:

That a committee of five representative mem-
bers be appointed a committee on arbitration,
to whom can be referred matters of controversy
between members of this association. The re-
fusal of any member to arbitrate a difference
between members shall be ground for dropping
such member from the rolls of this association.

As the first committee, to work out
the details. President Welch appointed
W. C. Eeed, Vincennes, Ind.; G. A.
Marshall, Arlington, Neb.; A. E. Rob-
inson, Lexington, Mass.; J. M. Pitkin,
Newark, N. Y., and L. A. Berckmans,
Augusta, Ga.

Plan of Operation.

The rules worked out for conducting
arbitrations, after one year 's trial, wef e
described by Chairman Reed at the re-
cent Milwaukee convention and will in-
terest everyone who has to deal with
trade disputes:

"The idea of this committee," said
Mr. Beed, "was to avoid the expense

of going to court. Your committee had
no rules or precedent to go by, and has
had to work out its own plans, which
have been about as follows: Any time
that two members agree to have a case
arbitrated, all the correspondence and
papers pertaining to such case are for-
warded to the chairman of your com-
mittee. The chairman goes over the
case carefully and makes a written ver-
dict, which is placed in a sealed en-
velope and filed away for future refer-
ence. The papers then are forwarded
to another member of the committee,
who does likewise, rendering a written
verdict in a sealed envelope forwarded
to the chairman. This plan is continued
until the five members of the committee
have rendered their verdicts to the
chairman. Each member is given a
number known only to the chairman
and, instead of signing his name to the
verdict, signs as a member of the arbi-
tration committee, No. 3, or No. 5, or
whatever it may be.

"After all the reports have been re-
ceived by the chairman, they are
opened, reviewed and a final verdict
rendered in accordance with the findings
of the majority of the committee. If
there are any legal points on which the
advice of an attorney is needed, the
papers are referred to Curtis Nye Smith,
the association counsel.

"In rendering the final verdict, the
chairman has copies sent to both inter-

ested parties, to the president of our
association and to each member of the
committee.

"In handling matter in this way
there is no chance for any member to
be influenced by the views of any other
member of the committee, and no
chance for hard feelings between a
claimant and arbitrators.
How It Works.

* * The first claim was received by your
committee the last of February, involv-
ing $1,132.48. It was adjusted and paid
in full during the month of May. It
would have been settled sooner had it
not been for the fact that before the
papers had made their rounds of the
committee, all the nurserymen were in
the midst of spring packing.

"The second claim was received
June 17 and amounted to $216.52. It
was passed on by your committee in
session here.

"A third claim has been filed with
the chairman, but we have not received
all the papers, so that we have been
unable to take action.

"There has been considerable corre-
spondence in regard to other claims, but
they were either adjusted or paid, with-
out the services of our committee. It
is the opinion of the arbitration com-
mittee that this method of handling
claims has been satisfactory and should
be continued.

Bight or Law.

"In considering the claims filed with
your committee, it has been a question
whether the decision should be reached
strictly from a legal standpoint as we
may see it, or whether we shall also
consider the moral standpoint, or what
is right between man and man. It has
been a decision of the committee, how-
ever, that most cases that are decided
strictly from a legal standpoint are
right, and that we must adhere to that
principle. ' '

CLEVELAND FLOBISTS GET BUSY.

Since Cleveland this autumn is not
to repeat last year's flower show, it is
interesting to note that a flower exhibi-
tion will be one of the features of the
Industrial exposition and fair which is
to be held at Cleveland, September 2
to 9. The exposition, a sort of grand
advertising campaign in behalf of the
arts and crafts of Cleveland, will be
staged in eight large tents pitched
along the Lake Erie shore at Edge-
water park. M. A. Vinson, favorably
known for his large share in making
last fall's flower show the great suc-
cess it was, is general manager of the
fair.

The tent allotted to the flower sec-
tion is 90x180 feet. In it will be dis-
played entries of concerns desiring to
reach amateurs and private gardeners.
Competitive exhibits of private garden-
ers and amateurs of the public school
gardens will be staged. A committee
consisting of members of the Cleve-
land Florists' Club has been appointed
to govern the flower show. The com-
mitteemen are Timothy Smith, chair-
man; F. A. Friedley, H. C. Noble, C. B.
Wilhelmy, E. A. Bause, O. P. Black-
man, G. Jacques, Robert Weeks.

Mr. Vinson is receiving the hearty
cooperation of gardeners in and near
the city and at the Florists' Club's
meeting July 10 he submitted for con-
sideration the premium schedule of the
show.

INOCULATINa PEAS.

Referring to the question of inocu-
lating sweet peas, mentioned in a re-
cent issue of The Review, I have ex-
perimented with Nitragin, both on gar-
den peas and also on sweet peas. On
the former it has increased the yield
by fifty per cent. I am hoping to have
good results on sweet peas, which, how-,
ever, are not yet in flower, but are look-
ing healthy in every way. The variety
of garden pea tested was Gradus.

HOUSTON NOT NEAR MEXICO.

We have had a number of inquiries
regarding the border situation in
Texas. In the first place, I want to
state that Houston is from 400 to 1,000
miles from the border. We hear less
about border troubles here than you do
in the north and east, so dismiss from
your minds the thought that we are
anywhere near the troubled territory.

While the railroads are busy at this
time transporting troops, passenger
traffic is not hampered and by conven-
tion time all the troops will be on the
border. Houston, with its seventeen
railroads, is equal to any emergency.
The S. A. F. members coming to Hous-
ton will not be affected by the move-
ment of the troops.

We are much elated over the pros-
pects of a large attendance. The south
will turn out in full force. President
MacRorie advises me that he will have
two Pullman cars from California.
Secretary Young says we will have a
good delegation from the east. I under-
stand there will be a large attendance
from the central states. With our con-
vention garden a success and with
reservations for trade exhibits pouring
in and bright prospects for a large at-
tendance (watch for the entertainment
program we have lined up), you have
every assurance of a grand time in
Houston this summer.

The convention executive committee
is composed of the following: R. C.
Kerr, chairman, Houston; Henry Greve,
Dallas; L. J. Tackett, Fort Worth;
Louis Oesch, Dallas; F. W. Hensel, Col-
lege Station;, T. J. Wolfe, Waco; J. E.
McAdam, Fort Worth; H. O. Hannah,
Sherman; Bird Forrest, Waxahachie;
Chris Hauser, San Antonio, and E. E.
Stone, Dickinson.

The entertainment for the visiting
members has just about been completed
and we have outlined a program that
will keep the members on the go pretty
much all the time, except when they
are attending to business. The follow-
ing is a general outline as to what we
expect to give the visiting delegates:
A trip down the ship channel to the San
Jacinto battle grounds, barbecue and
other refreshments to be served on
the grounds, and a program of sports
will be prepared to entertain the visit-
ors. We also will make a trip to Gal-
veston, take a dip in the surf and din-
ner at the Hotel Galvez afterwards.

Also a band concert at the convention
garden. Will have a special moving
picture that will be of interest to the
S. A. F. members. The usual automo-
bile ride over the city will not be over-
looked in Houston. We have possibly
more paved streets, more beautiful
homes and more beautiful suburbs than
any other city of its size in the country.
There are other side attractions that
will make our entertainment worth
while.

Plans have been completed for a
dinner in Dallas on the evening of July
17, honoring John Young on his visit
to Texas. Mr. Young comes a little
ahead of time to complete arrangements
for the convention in Houston. After

a day or so in Dallas, Secretary Young
and a number of others will visit some
of the cities in the state by automobile,
provided the weather permits. We ex-
pect to work in the interest of the so-
ciety while on this trip. Indications
are that Mr. Young will be given a
rousing reception on his visit to Dallas,
and while this is a north Texas meet-
ing, it is anticipated that a number of
florists from other parts of the state
will visit Dallas for this occasion.

BOUVARDIAS IN THE SOUTH.

To obtain the best results from
bouvardias in the south, I find it a
good plan to grow them in the house
during the entire summer. The rain-
fall in the south is uncertain in many
sections, so that, unless there is some
system of irrigation, the young plants
make little growth outdoors. They are
easily cared for indoors and make satis-
factory growth. The last pinching
may be made the last of August, or
later, according to the time the flowers
are wanted. L.

Paris, Ftance. — The judges of the
new roses in the Bagatelle trial garden
met June 15 and awarded the gold
medal to Rose Mrs. Wemyss Quinn,
raised by Alex. Dickson & Sons, New-
townards, Ireland.

Harlington, England. — In one respect,
at least, business is good. Numerous
American growers of cyclamen, who for
many years have used some special
strain of German seed, are abandoning
hope of receiving their usual supply
this season and are turning to British
cyclamen specialists for seeds.

Berlin, Germany. — If American seeds-
men and valley pip importers fail to
receive prompt reply to recent letters
to German correspo'ndents, they should
bear in mind that the British removed
all the first-class mail, over 900 sacks,
from the Scandinavian-American liner
United States, from New York for Co-
penhagen, at Kirkwall July 1.

Quedllnburg, Germany. — David Sachs
is advised that energetic measures on
the part of American consignees have
resulted in the release by the British
of most of the German flower seeds
taken from the parcel post mails of the
S. S. United States, but that certain
shipments in behalf of which the Ameri-
can consignees made no effort "have
been condemned and sold by the prize
court.

which cleared New York June 17, ar-

Ghent, Belgium. — H. Van Orshoven
reports as follows on conditions here:
"Although no nurseries were destroyed,
the Belgian plant industry is absolutely
dependent on exports and produce
worth about 15,000,000 frs. is sold
abroad every year. A small amount of
trade was done last season with allied
and neutral countries, but the traffic
was exceedingly difficult and expen-
sive. All packages had to be taken to
Holland, shifted and reshifted from
boat to boat, sometimes delayed
through lack of convenience, sometimes,
too, because the formalities required
could not be fulfilled in time. It is
well known that several consignments
were lost in harbor because the permits
for import could not be obtained soon
enough. Export to neutral countries
is allowed by Great Britain under the
condition that the money is kept in an
English bank until the end of the war,
but at the same time the Germans
compel the exporter to bring the money
into Belgium. In such circumstances
consignments to America and Scandi-
navia are made impossible, for nobody
is able nowadays to pay twice for what
he buys. As regards sales to allied
countries, it should be mentioned
that the British government recently
stopped all imports of plants. What
is then to become of the Ghent nur-
series? It is obvious that they have
to keep their stocks too long, spending
money and labor on them, while many
plants lose their value. The raising of

PITTSBUEGH.

The Market.

Business has settled down to the reg-
ular summer demands. Trade was some-
what sluggish last week and much stock
was left over daily. This, of course,
goes to the garbage barrel, as a new
supply of flowers is offered every morn-
ing. Carnations still are arriving in
large quantities, as well as roses. A
falling off of lilies, sweet peas and
valley was noted. Asters have made
their appearance, and with an increased
supply of fine gladioli almost any de-
maud can be met. Orchids and Beau-
ties of good quality are plentiful. We
have had only a few days of real sum-
mer weather, which accounts for the
fine quality in carnations and roses.
The demand for outdoor flowers is only
fair. There are quantities of all hardy
flowers.

The Club's Field Day.

The Pittsburgh Florists' and Gar-
deners' Club has arranged for a field
day at Sewickley, Wednesday, July 19.
Trains will leave Union station at 9:20
a. m., city time, and the Federal street
station at 9:25 a. m.

George Wessenauer and his commit-
tee will meet this train at Sewickley
and arrange for the transportation to
the Sewickley Heights territory and
provide for a noonday luncheon for all
members of the club who notify him by
Monday, July 17. The Sewickley mem-
bers of the club are anxious to show the
boys all the places in the district that
can be visited in the short time allotted.
Send your card today to George Wes-
senauer, Sewickley, Pa.

Various Notes.

Many of the florists are on their vaca-
tions. Samuel Capes is at Atlantic City;
H. P. Joslin is visiting his brother at
Oxford, Mass.; W. T. Usinger is at Rug-
glers Beach, O. Fred Riegelmeier and
family motored east and intend to stop
at Atlantic City during the next two
weeks, David Hill is at Wildwood,
N. J.

The large growers report a shortage
in labor and many offer good positions
to men who "know how." Some of
the retailers are already working on
Christmas novelties.

F. J. Farney, of the M. Eice Co.,
Philadelphia, was here last week show-
ing an attractive line of novelties.

George Hampton, representing the
Joseph G. Neidinger Co., of Philadel-
phia, is here showing a line of baskets
and supplies.

Augustus Frishkorn, manager of Beck-
ert's Seed Store, is on a business trip
through West Virginia.

Mr. and Mrs. Gustav Ludwig are
planning to attend the S. A. F. conven-
tion at Houston, Tex. Mrs. Ludwig,
her son and daughter-in-law, Mr. and
Mrs. Gilbert Ludwig, have returned
from an automobile trip to Cleveland.
They stopped at Silver Lake park en
route. The young couple expect to leave
next week for their vacation at Crystal
Beach, Fort Erie, which is opposite
Buffalo, N. Y.

Mr. and Mrs. Julius W. Ludwig will
leave the latter part of this month for
an eastern trip, which will include Bal-
timore, Trenton, N. J., New York city,
Rochester and Buffalo. They will visit
the family of the late William F. Kast-
injr while in Buffalo.

During the absence of H. P. Joslin,

T. P. Langhans, of the Pittsburgh Cut
Flower Co., will assume the secretarial
duties connected with the Florists'
Club. W. A. C.

BUFFALO.

The Market.

Business is slowly dropping down to
the customary summer dullness. There
have been few arrivals of new items.
Business is considered ahead of that of
last year and last week there was con-
siderable funeral work. Aside from
that, there was little doing.

There are extra good Beauties to be
had, but the demand for them is rather
erratic and those of poorer quality are
inclined to hang somewhat. There still
are good Killarney and White Eallar-
ney roses arriving; also Ophelia, Rus-
sell and I'rancis Scott Key roses of good
color and good length of stems. Of
course, there is an unlimited supply of
shorter roses, which really never ex-
pect to sell out. Taking into considera-
tion that it now is the middle of July,
roses have sold extraordinarily well.

Carnations also have held up well.
This, of course, is - due to the cool
weather, there having been no real sum-
mer days in Buffalo until last week.
Most of the carnations are weak in stem
and the blooms small in size. The ma-
jority are faded more or less. Now and
then there are shipments of remarkably
good quality, the blooms being large
and perfect and the stem good. These,
of course, sell without difficulty.

Easter lilies are plentiful and con-
tinue to sell well. Lilium candidum is
one of the new arrivals in the market,
but it does not sell as a new item usu-
ally does; in fact, it is inclined to
drag somewhat. The sale of rubrum
lilies is nothing special. The supply is
as large as ever or, perhaps, larger, and
the quality has fallen off. Most of them
have short stems and are soft. The

status of sweet peas is similar to that
of carnations. There is a vast supply
of inferior blooms, dotted now and then
with excellent quality stock. Valley at
last has resumed its old position and
sells at its former price, $6 per hundred.
Cattleyas are none too plentiful, but
more abundant than two weeks ago.
There are some good snapdragons, and
irises, as usual, are in good demand.
Coreopsis, calendulas, cornflowers and
yellow daisies constitute the miscella-
neous stock, all of which is more or less
uncertain of supply because of the vary-
ing weather. The supply of greens is
more satisfactory.

Various Notes.

Mr. and Mrs. William C. Ehmann, of
Corfu, were visitors here last week.

Otto C. Gillies, head of the bookkeep-
ing staff of W. J. Palmer & Son, is on a
vacation trip of two weeks' duration.

Joseph Tallman, with the W. F. Kast-
ing Co., started his vacation July 8.

William Grever finds much recreation
in the country, where he and his family
have been for several weeks.

At the store of Galley Bros, may be
seen a picturesque country scene con-
sisting of a small br6ok and meadow,
with a water mill and farmhouse in the
background.

There are numerous window decora-
tions and displays in connection with
the Shriners' convention this week. In
Palmer's window there was a desert
scene, showing an oasis in the center,
cactus plants, and, in the distance, a
caravan.

C. F. MacDonald, with F. Simpson
& Sons, of Toronto, was in town last
week.

As yet no date has been set for the
florists' picnic, which will be held in
July.

A two weeks' vacation began for Ed-
ward Walthers, of W. J. Palmer & Son,
July 10. A. E.

Bellamy Bros, of Syracuse, N. Y.,
have experienced a good season. Even
now, though late, the demand for plants
is healthy. They believe more stock
was handled in their city than ever
bef«re.

Dobbs & Son, of Auburn, report good
business. A crop of tomatoes grown
around the uprights of the big carna-
tion houses is bringing high prices.
This apparently is a clear profit, as
the plants do not seem to affect the car-
nations. Out-of-town orders are increas-
ing through the wire medium.

The management of the Suskana
Greenhouses, of Binghamton, N. Y., has
its new houses planted to roses and
chrysanthemums. Manager T. W. Han-
nah, who has spent several years on the
Pacific coast, observed that different
climatic conditions require different
methods of culture. He believes this
season's weather is the dullest in his
experience.

E. T. McQuivey, of Utica, N. Y., is re-
building part of his range, following a
satisfactory season.

A. & J. Williams, also of Utica, are
getting things in shape following the

fire that occurred the week before
Easter. The property was partly in-
sured, but the inconvenience was as
serious as the loss of stock.

John Lawrance, of Ogdensburg, N.
Y., pointed out a row of peonies plant-
ed by his father fully forty years ago,
from which the bulk of the blooms still
are gathered, an evidence of the vital-
ity and floriferousness of the variety.
Faust is considered the most valuable
for the retailers. Mrs. Shawyer is con-
sidered a more profitable rose than
Killarney, the ratio of blooms being
two of the former to one of the latter.
Shawyer does well in concrete benches.
Radiance and Ophelia also are fine. ' ' No
more wooden benches," remarked Mr.
Lawrance. "No more fungus. Plants
could hardly thrive better than under
our conditions."

E. V. B. Felthousen, of Schenectady,
N. Y., has all of his chrysanthemums
planted, and they look promising. He
reports the best season on record.

F. A. Danker, of Albany, N. Y., is
adding to his stock of orchids. He is
much pleased with the showing made in
the nursery department. W. M.

KOOHESTER, N. Y.

The Market.

A good quantity of funeral work,
with a fair amount of wedding orders,
has made the week a pretty good one.
Counter trade, however, is not so large
as it might be, owing to the fact that
many of the best customers are away at
the summer resorts.

There is a large and varied stock to
select from. Outdoor stock is arriving
fast and good supplies of rambler roses
are included in the daily shipments.
Carnations are plentiful and sell
cheaply. They are getting small, but
their quality is good. Beauties are mov-
ing fairly well and a good business is
being done in other varieties of roses,
such as Ward, Ophelia, Bussell, My
Maryland, Hadley and the Killarneys.
Sweetheart roses meet with a fair de-
mand and are much used in bowl and
basket work. Gladioli are coming in
fast and sell at reasonable figures. Eas-
ter lilies are pretty good and sell freely.
There is an abundance of good outdoor
lilies, which sell well. Valley is plenti-
ful, but is not in great demand. Sweet
peas, which have decreased consider-
ably in quantity, are in steady demand.
Gypsophilas have arrived and are used
freely. Gaillardias, delphiniums, fox-
gloves, Canterbury bells, irises, snap-
dragons, Shasta daisies and forget-me-
nots are all in their prime now and sell
satisfactorily. Some fine gloxinias
move freely, but there is a lack of other
flowering plants.

Various Notes.

A new icebox has been purchased by
the Aster Candy & Flower Store and
proves to be quite useful. Business here
is good.

J. B. Keller Sons had a beautiful and
artistic window display for July 4. It
consisted of several flags, with baskets
of larkspurs, daisies and red rambler
roses, each tied with red, white and'
blue ribbon.

Charles W. Curtis, of Irondequoit, N.
Y., has purchased a new automobile
and he made a trip with his family to
Troutburg July 4. He reports that
business is exceptionally good and he
was entirely sold out of bedding stock.
He is cutting some fine gladioli.

An unusually attractive window dis-
play was seen at the store of E. C. Kael-
ber. Inc., last week. Its simple, taste-
ful arrangement made it especially no-
ticeable. Tall vases, with small flags
fastened tightly around them, resem-
bled firecrackers. In each vase was a
good-sized bouquet of red and white
carnations, with blue cornflowers. A
large flag was draped from one corner
of the window to the other, with fine
effect.

The beautifying of Eochester, a
scheme devised by the Chamber of Com-
merce two or three years ago, is be-
coming quite popular and the commit-
tee in charge is working hard to make
this season the best ever. The hotels,
banks and other public buildings, as
well as hundreds of private residences,
are looking fine, with the pretty ar-
rangements in window boxes, baskets,
etc. Special prizes are being offered
and many are entering the contest.

James Vick's Sons are much encour-
aged by the return of good weather.
They, like other seedsmen and growers,
suffered heavy losses during the early
part of the season and the planting

had to be done many times. During
the last two weeks much work has been
accomplished and the crops are looking
better. Business with them is well up
to the standard.

H. E. Wilson is cutting some good
sweet peas, which sell excellently. He
is making a pretty display of cut glass
vases, jardinieres and Japanese bowls in
his window. H. J. H.

MOBILE^ ALA.

The fury and velocity of the recent
hurricane was worse than any other
storm I have seen during my twenty-
two years in Mobile. It was of longer
duration. The velocity reached 107
miles per hour — official record — for
about five minutes, and averaged about
eighty miles for over twelve hours. The
damage to florists' establishments here
is quite heavy. Oddly enough, it was
not serious in its effect on anyone. Few
greenhouses are entirely down and com-
paratively little glass was broken. The
loss of outdoor flowers is complete. The
Minge Floral Co. reports no houses
down and no damage to indoor stock,
but some breakage of glass and ventila-
tors. During the early part of the
storm, and before telephone connections
gave out, the grower, Mr. Hauge, re-
ported one gable down. For twenty
hours the proprietors were without news
and had resigned themselves to a total
loss. The next day the secretary, Mr.
Demeranville, reached the range through
four feet of water and found Mr. Hauge
holding the fort and ready to send a
cut to town. The proprietors still are
wondering why Providence spared them.
Mr. Hauge says he will not try to nail
down top ventilators in a hurricane any
more, as he was lifted bodily off the

ridge and deposited on the ground,
which, luckily, was in a semi-liquid con-
dition.

The old concern of C. Eavier & Sons
was rather heavily hit. Much glass was
broken and the framework of some of
the houses somewhat buckled. There
was a large loss of outdoor stock. Ee-
pair work has been begun, and in a
month's time the range will be as good
as ever.

The Chatogue Greenhouses, owned by
Mrs. F. P. Davis and operated by the
Goodbrad Floral Co., are reported to be
badly wrecked, with several houses
down. I have not been able to verify
the report.

The greenhouses of A. Duplan suf-
fered heavily, but less than might have
been expected. They are not beyond
repair.

The Industrial Gardens are reported
to be only slightly damaged. Aside
from a large breakage of glass and a
total loss of outdoor flowers and plants,
the Gem Floral Garden, owned by H. P.
Loding, came out of the storm in good
shape. ^'

L. Thublin had one ^ouse badly
wrecked. The truck gardeners in this
section have suffered heavily; what the
storm did not take, the rains finished.
Pecan orchards were badly damaged
through defoliation, loss of nuts and
breakage. A great many large trees
were entirely uprooted. This trouble,
coming at a time when the trade was
recuperating from two seasons of hard
times, due to the effect of the war on
the timber and cotton market, has given
us florists another lick. The craft,
though, takes an optimistic view of the
situation and everyone is working hard
to meet a boom in business due next
fall. H. P. Loding.

Southern readers are invited to send items for this department.

Ada, Okla.— W. E. Pitt has had ex-
cellent success with the Godfrey calla
in his first season growing it and thinks
it much superior to Calla .ffithiopica.

Santa Fe, N. M.— At the Clarendon
Garden, E. V. Boyle, manager, prepara-
tions are being made for giving rose
growing a trial this season, a 70-foot
house for the purpose now being near
completion. The varieties to be tried
are Hoosier Beauty, White Killarney,
Shawyer, Ophelia and Sunburst. Busi-
ness becomes better each year.

Bridgeport, Ala, — Five years ago E.
D. Morris found a sport in a field of
purple Crego asters; it had a white
stripe in the center of each petal.
After five seasons of careful selection
it has developed into a flower of perfect
Crego type, deep lavender in color, each
petal evenly and distinctly striped
white. Mr. Morris believes it has ex-
cellent commercial possibilities. His
stock consists of 1000 plants.

Houston, Tex. — A stranger to some,
but still remembered by many, W. W.
Westgate has returned to town after
an absence of sixteen years in the west.
Those who recall the great storm of
1900 — and who does notf — perhaps also
will recollect how severely the master
elements dealt with the greenhouse
range of Mrs. N. E. Westgate & Son,
of which firm Mr. Westgate had been
the junior partner since he was a boy
in short trousers. Mother and son were
put out of business by the hurricane
and shortly afterwards Mr. Westgate
packed his things and departed for
Seattle, Wash., from which city, after
sixteen years, he has returned to his
home town. Mr. Westgate will reenter
the florists' business at Houston, main-
taining a city sales establishment at
the old range, half of which remained,
and specializing in hardy outdoor stock
on an 8-acre plot on the edge of the
city. Mr. Westgate expects to enter
the wholesale field later on.

The Florists* Review

Jdlt 13, 1916.

The Greek Florists of New York Constitute a Large Body of Energetic^ Intelligent Men.

NEW YOEK.

The Market.

The rose market is fairly steady. The
surplus finds buyers at 50 cents per
hundred. The best of the roses, selected,
sell at $5 per hundred and down, except
American Beauties, Hadley, Brunner
and Prima Donna. These now arrive
in light shipments and Hadley is
through for the season. It has made
an enviable record. Ophelia is the most
popular of the other varieties. The
weather has been warm for a week,
touching 90 degrees July 8, and the
roses especially show the effects of it.
The best carnations now arriving do
not sell above $1 per hundred. Thou-
sands reached the street merchants as
low as $2.50 per thousand. The supply
is decreasing rapidly and the carna-
tion's successor, the aster, is already
knocking at the door. Some fine peonies
from up state reached the market last
week and sold slowly at 25 to 35 cents
per dozen. The demand is not large
enough to encourage the growers to
make further shipments.

The best gigas are down to 35 cents
again. I have never seen gigas of finer
quality than those now arriving. They
should bring 50 cents easily. Valley is
down to $2.50 per hundred for the best
and long^florums sell at $3 per hundred.
Sweet peas will be featured this week
because of the convention. A list of
the miscellaneous flowers simply would
be a repetition of last week's list. The
supply includes a score of the outdoor
kinds and continues a menace to the
regular market.

The Greek-American Outing.

The tenth annual outing of the Greek-
American Betail Florists' Association
was the most successful ever held by
the organization. More than 600 pic-
nickers embarked on the steamer Ajax
on the morning of July 6 for the
grounds at College Point, L. I. The
day was perfect; no accident marred
the day's pleasures. The menus were
excellent and the athletic games were
hotly contested. Dancing was indulged
in by the young folks on the return
trip.

The officers of the organization are:
President, C. Sakelos; vice-president, P.
Theophine; treasurer, G. Eondires; sec-
retary, C. Tsoumis; assistant secretary,
M. Andriopoulos. The winners in the
athletic events were:

Boys' race — Master Laskaris, first; Master
Theodoeatos, second.

Girls' race — Miss Carlaftes, first; Miss 'WlUon,
second.

Youngr women's race — Miss Blmle, first; Miss
Nicholas, second.

Married women's race — Mrs. Cardlasnens, first;
Mrs. Orth, second.

Young men's race — ^Mr. Carlaftes, first; Mr.
Theodorates, second.

Fat men's race — Mr. Zlzos, first; Mr. Caraha-
llos, second.

Broad jumj) — ^Mr. Towney, first; Mr. Sherlcos,
second.

Baseball — Greek team, score 6 to 3.

The Market.

July was ushered in with intense sum-
mer heat, which affected the florists'
business to a considerable extent. So-
cial gatherings are fewer and there are
only a small number of weddings at
present. Funeral work constitutes the
chief demand for cut flowers. The busi-
ness for the month of June was most
satisfactory to all the florists of this
city and vicinity, many retailers report-
ing that the demand went far ahead of
that for June of any previous year.
Wedding work was heavy and a number
of prominent funerals during the month
contributed greatly to the big demand,
while decorations and counter trade
were no small items in the month's
business. Fortunately for the florist,
the hot weather held off until the last
of June.

Stock is quite plentiful and many are
using quantities of outdoor flowers to
decorate their windows. Dorothy Per-
kins and Crimson Rambler roses now
are in their prime and used in made-up
work. Tausendschon roses also are ef-
fective. Outdoor gladioli still are
scarce, there having been no rainfall for
nearly three weeks. There are no peo-
nies at all on the local market. Shasta
daisies are of superb quality this year
and the list of the varieties of peren-
nials is increasing.

Roses are plentiful and the quality
generally i« «?ood. American Beauties

are to be had only in the medium
grades. Carnations are coming into the
market in large quantities and they are
of good quality for this season of the
year. Easter lilies are plentiful and
Madonna lilies are in full bloom out-
doors. Valley is scarce, but the demand
for it has fallen ofiE considerably.

The florists report a prosperous bed-
ding season this year and also a big sale
of shrubs, due, no doubt, to the civic
beautification movement in this city
since last February.

Gypsophila is being used extensively
with roses and sweet peas in basket
work. Smilax, Asparagus plumosus and
adiantum are in good supply.

Various Notes.

A. W. Herre, representing the Poehl-
mann Bros. Co., of Chicago, was a vis-
itor to this city July 3.

The New Haven Floral Co. is sending
some fine Tausendschon roses to this
market.

Aaron Shive, of the Flick Floral Co.,
is busy planting several houses to young
Eussell and Shawyer rose plants. He
is sending some fine French hydrangeas
to the downtown conservatory.

The new building of the Flick Floral
Co., on Harrison street, is rapidly Hear-
ing completion.

Miss Margaret Vesey left July 7 for
Mobile, Ala., where she will make an
extended visit with her sister, Mrs. Cecil
Max.

Will J. Vesey, Jr., has purchased for
the firm of W. J. & M. S. Vesey from
the George Field Co., of Washington,
D. C, a collection of orchid plants at
a cost of $15,000. This collection, which
consists of all commercial varieties of
orchids, will make the Vesey firm the
largest producers of orchids in the mid-
dle west. The shipment is expected to
arrive this week. Temporary quarters
will be provided for the orchids until
four new houses, each to be 200 feet in
length, can be constructed. Work will
be begun on the new houses at once.

Mr. and Mrs. Aaron Shive and their
children, and Mr. and Mrs. Richard

OBITUARY

WilUam Tricker.

William Tricker died of heart failure
in his greenhouses at Arlington, N. J.,
vTuly 11.

Mr. Tricker was born in Scotland and
was 64 years of age. His youth was
spent in gardening in Great Britain, his
natural abilities running toward aquat-
ics. .Coming to America, he was, for
some years prior to starting in business
for himself, in charge of the aquatic
department of Henry A. Dreer, Inc., at
Riverton, N. J. While he did not by
any means confine himself to aquatics,
his special knowledge of water lilies
probably exceeded that of any other
commercial man in America; he raised
and introduced a number of unusually
meritorious new nymphseas and has
written voluminously on the subject. In
his recent business he had done land-
scape work as far west as Chicago,
where one of his sons, W. E. Tricker,
now with Holm & Olson, St. Paul, re-
cently was employed.

The funeral was Masonic. Mr. Tricker
was a member of the New York Flo-
rists' Club and of the Council of the
Horticultural Society of New York. He
was a member of the S. A. F., a fre-
quent attendant at its conventions and
an exhibitor at its national shows.

Mr. Tricker leaves a widow, three
sons and three daughters. The sons
were educated as their father was edu-
cated, in the school of European gar-
dening experience, and doubtless will
carry on the business.

Henry Niemeyer.
Henry Niemeyer, a grower of Kirk-
wood, Mo., died suddenly, July 6, of
apoplexy. Many of the local growers
and St. Louis florists attended the
funeral, which was held from the Nie-
meyer residence at Kirkwood.

Edward J. Harmon.

Edward J, Harmon, aged 65 years,
president of the E. J. Harmon Co., of
Portland, Me., died suddenly last week
from an attack of heart disease. He
attended a theater during the early part
of the evening and it was within a few
minutes after he reached home that he
was stricken.

Edward Johnson Harmon was a na-
tive of Portland, the son of John and

Phoebe Harmon. He was in the florists '
business for many years. His wife sur-
vives him, as well as three sons, Harry,
William and Chester Harmon, and a
daughter, Mrs. D. Lewis.

Edward M. Bogie.

Edward M. Bogie, a well known
grower of Jersey City, N. J., died last
week from a complication of diseases.
He was in his seventy-fourth year and
had been in the business twenty-five
years. He was unmarried.

Albert Fregosl.

Albert Fregosi, a San Francisco flo-
rist, was instantly killed, his wife, a
child or two and others were injured in
varying degrees at 7 o'clock, July 4,
when their automobile skidded on the
state highway at San Antone bridge,
which separates Marin and Sonoma
counties. The Fregosi family had been
staying at Ukiah, Mendocino county,
during the previous weeks, and were on
their way back to San Francisco in Sev-
erino Giampolini's automobile. At the
south side of the San Antone bridge the
car turned out to pass another auto-
mobile going in the same direction.
This took the Giampolini machine into
the soft dirt at the side of the road-
way. It skidded, a wheel flew off and
all the occupants were hurled to the
ground. Passers-by picked up the one
dead and seven injured and rushed
them to the Novate sanatorium, six
miles away.

A peculiar feature of the accident
was the fact that the Fregosi baby, 15
months of age, was overlooked when
the rest of the party was picked up.
An occupant of another automobile,
passing the wreck three-C|uarters of an
hour later, happened to look over the
fence, and there discovered the baby,
unconscious, lying where he had been"
hurled at least fifteen feet from the
Giampolini car. Not knowing the iden-
tity of the child, the motorists took him
to San Rafael. He was not identified
until hospital attaches read an account
of the accident in the newspapers. The
injured were removed the following
day to St. Mary's hospital, in San
Francisco, where Mrs. Fregosi was re-
ported seriously hurt.

Albert Fregosi, who met his death,
was 37 years of age. He had been a
partner of J. G. Parodi in the firm of
Parodi & Fregosi, which conducted a
flower store at 1215 McAllister street,
San Francisco, for about ten years.

Besults brinf; adTertining.
The Beview brings results.

There is, especially in the east, a sur-
plus of geraniums, but it mostly is stock
that was not in salable condition until
after the peak of the season.

Over in Paris they have awarded the
Bagatelle gold medal to a new rose called
Mrs. Wemyss Quinn. Unless we miss ( ! )
it greatly, the man who named it justi-
fied himself with the old quotation about
the fragrance of the flower under any
alternative cognominal appellation.

The surpluses of bedding stock on
hand after the largest season in the his-
tory of the trade indicate that produc-
tion has reached a point where effort
should not be so centered on working up
stock as to ignore the necessity of work-
ing up an outlet; up to a certain point
people will search out a place to buy, but
above that buyers must be sought. Most
florists still wait for buyers.

Now that there are automobiles enough
to carry at one time over one-sixth of the
population of the United States, with
every town of any consequence holding
frequent parades of decorated cars, The
Eeview receives so many photographs of
this character that, were any consider-
able proportion of them printed, there
would be space for little else in the pic-
ture line. Of the thousands of cars that
are decorated not many make work for
the florist and most of those that show
the professional hand carry principally
artificial flowers. But recently at Port-
land, Ore., for the rose festival, Clarke
Bros, decorated two cars so elaborately
that they attracted unusual attention ;
The Review has seen few finer. One re-
ceived the grand prize, the other first
prize in the class for public schools.

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:

difference in price.

A FBIOBI.

Back in the good old college days we
were taught that, a priori, given certain
definite causes, the effect could be reck-
oned with certainty; or conversely,
that certain effects indicated certain
definite causes. So here's the cause:

You don't have to tell a pretty Rirl she's beau-
tiful, she knows it; still, she likes to listen.
Nor do we need to tell The Review how good it
is, everybody knows it; but its friends like to
listen, and so do I. — Edward Snow, Sayre, Pa.,
July 4, 1916.

It is easy, therefore, to reckon the
effect. Here it is:

I have been much pleased with the business
my ad in The Review has brought me this sea-
son.— Glenn E. Moore, RushvUle, Ind., July 7,
1916.

When you hear a man complain of
the cost of advertising you can be
pretty sure he spends a good bit of
money elsewhere than in The Review.

BEVEALS A TRADE SECRET.

In the Orpet trial at Waukegan, 111.,
where the evidence has shown that a
girl died of potassium poisoning and
the effort has been to show, on one side,
that Will Orpet administered the drug
obtained from his father's supply of
fumigant and, on the other, that it was
self-administered, there was a sensa-
tion July 6, when it was shown that
sodium cyanide is sold in the drug trade
for potassium cyanide; three chemists
and a drug salesman calmly testified
that the substance in the Orpet green-
house was not potassium cyanide at all,
but sodium cyanide.

Robert J. Hevoner is an employee
of the Fuller-Morrison Co., wholesale
druggists, Chicago. He said he had
sold the elder Orpet the sodium cyanide.
Then he revealed a trade secret. In
the ten years that he has been con-
nected with the firm, he declared, he
has never seen an ounce of potassium
cyanide on the shelves of the com-
pany's building. Customers who ask
for potassium cyanide receive sodium
cyanide, and it answers their purposes
perfectly. At no drug store in the mid-
dle west, so far as Mr. Hevoner knew,
is potassium cyanide to be obtained.
In other words, Orpet, if he had asked
for potassium cyanide at any drug
store, would have stood an extremely
slim chance of getting it.

It was a stroke for the defense. Also
it shows that florists are using sodium
cyanide for fumigating where they
think it is potassium cyanide, but it
also shows that one is as good as the

CROPS IMPROVE.

The government 's July crop report

is encouraging to the country at large

and especially to florists in the grain

states, who care little about conditions

in the manufacturing east, their season

being assured by good crops in their

own district. All grain crops showed

a marked improvement in June, the

weather being much more favorable

than it was earlier in the season. The v

gain is put in figures this way:

Crop Condition July 1 • June 1

Winter wheat 489,030,000 bu. 469,006,000 bn.
Spring wheat. 269,517,000 bu. 246,000,000 bu.

Com 2,866,000,000 bu

Oats 1,316,867,000 bu. 1,254,834,000 bn.

Barley 205,000,000 bu. 189,000,000 bn.

Corn shows an acreage and indicated

yield larger than a year ago, but the

other crops are not yet quite up to last

year's record.

FORMALDEHYDE FOB SPOT.

A Beauty grower who has had trouble
with black spot asks The Review if .
anyone has successfully used formalde- } .
hyde in checking black spot in Amer-
ican Beauty. There is no record in
The Review office of such a use. If
any reader can give directions, they ♦ :
will no doubt be of general interest.

CHICAGO.

The Market.

Summer conditions prevail on the
Chicago market. There is an abundance -
of stock, but much of it is of inferior
quality. The difficulty seems to lie
in the fact that too many growers have
held off later than usual in replanting •
or drying off old plants, with the result
that a large quantity of low grade stock
is coming onto the market. But poor
stock is not the only kind on the mar-
ket. Good, clean, young stock is ar-
riving and moves with little . effort.

Beauties are scarce, but of all kinds
except youpg stock there is fully enough
for the demand. Young Beauties, of
which there are far too few, are in
good demand. Of other roses Russell
leads, with a really brisk demand. This,
of course, has been strengthened by the
arrival of young stock. Ophelia takes
second place without dispute. In spite
of the large supply of roses, open,
short and indifferent, the greater part
of them are moved, though at a low
average figure.

There is a decided oversupply of poor
carnations. Some of them are jobbed
off, others move slowly through the reg-
ular channels and the rest do not move
at all. To vary the monotony, valley is
meeting all requirements, but now that
the wedding season is past, no one seems
to care. Easter lilies are abundant, but
move slowly. Cattleyas are still in
small supply, but the fact creates small
comment, as there is little demand for
them and prices are down. Good sweet
peas clear regularly, but most of the
receipts are short, inferior stock. For
this, there is practically no demand.
Daisies, with the exception of Shasta,
are moving slowly. Snapdragon, too,
is inclined to drag. Good gladioli are
scarce and in moderate demand. Cold
storage peonies, though still in the mar-
ket, are on their last legs. There have
been no appreciable receipts of late out-

The grower is a member of a volunteer
fire department at Bensenville and in
responding to an alarm July 5, suffered
injury to the ligaments of his right leg
that will be slow to repair.

The result of the election of officers
of the Chicago Flower Growers' Asso-
ciation, July 6, was to retain all pres-
ent incumbents and add one new one.
They are: E. Meuret, president; Fred
Schramm, vice-president; Charles Mc-
Cauley, treasurer; George Weiland, sec-
retary. Paul E. Klingsporn was re-
tained as manager. John Walsh will
begin a two weeks' vacation July 15.
Miss Florence Scriven, whose vacation
began July 8, has gone to visit a
brother in Phoenix, Ariz.

N. J. Wietor comments on the brisk
demand for chrysanthemum plants. He

After being associated with Mount
Greenwood cemetery for nearly fifteen
years, A. R. Gross is leaving that em-

Friends of C. W. McKellar will re-

A material addition to the space
available to Pyfer & Co. has been made
this month by the expiration of a lease
held by a neighbor. The store has been
enlarged by about 400 square feet.

It has been reported by some that
there is little call for bay trees this
season, but J. P. Degnan states that
Winterson's Seed Store has sold out
every plant of the recent importation
except a few of the smallest size. Some
of the plants were rather badly browned

on their slow journey from Ghent, but
recovered wonderfully when taken to
E. F. Winterson's home place on the

from a most enjoyable visit in Cali-
fornia.

Ed Vilter, of the Zech & Mann force,
has the sympathy of the trade in the
loss of his mother July 8. The funeral
services were held July 11.

Last week Joseph Ziska, Jr., and wife
motored to Algonquin and Carey Sta-
tion, m. July 15 he will take his father
and his brothers, Raymond and Eugene,
on a motor trip to Cedar Eapids, la. He
boasts that his car has traveled 26,000
miles with only one overhauling.

The wilds of northern Michigan pos-
sess great charm for Max Eingier, of
Kennicott Bros. Co., so he slipped away
from the market July 12 to visit them.

Kansas City, Mo., is the vacation
ground of Adam Kasper, of the George
Reinberg sales force. The next on the
list to enjoy an outing is Frank Hagen,
who will go to Fox Lake.

As a result of stepping into a hole
while attempting to board a street car
last week, D. D. P. Roy is confined to
his home with a badly sprained ankle.

Though he isn't going to call it a
vacation, AUie Zech and his wife will
motor to Rock Island, July 15, for a
visit with relatives. Mike Freres re-
turns from his vacation July 16.

A week's vacation at Fox Lake will
begin for Peter Hiles, with D. E. Freres,
July 17.

Visitors to the A. L. Randall Co. will
miss a familiar face for two weeks.
Ikliss Agnes Corrigan, the telephone op-
erator, has gone on her vacation. Her
place is being filled by Miss French.

Last week was reported by Henry M.
Hirsch as his heaviest in funeral work
since opening the store at 37 East Van
Buren street.

Out on Gunnison street, Peter Pear-
son, who has had his best season to
date, is beginning the erection of an-
other greenhouse that will add twenty-
five per cent to his facilities. A spe-
cial storage house for bulbs also is to be
built.

Hydrangeas have been a leader with
the J. F. Kidwell Co. this spring, the
big glass frontage on Michigan avenue
having been gay with them ever since
Easter. Of the large number of plants
flowered only a few remain.

July 8 there was a celebration at
Morton Grove, for Guy W. French, who
still makes his home there, was born
that day in 1877.

Fiber tape for tying packages is now
being manufactured up to one-half inch,
for those who desire something differ-
ent. The usual width now used isi
three-sixteenths of an inch, according
to the Chicago Printed String Co.

Members of the trade who have heard
Miss Latham, of the Chicago Grand
Opera Co., singing in Ravinia park may
be interested to learn that she is a
daughter of Ralph Latham, a well
known Minneapolis florist.

After a six weeks' vacation in the
East, the wife of J. E. Quallich, head
of the plant department of the A. L.
Randall Co., has returned to the city.
Mr. Quallich will leave July 15 for a
Great Lakes trip. Mathew Schilz, of
the green goods department, will leave
the last of July for Virginia, where
he will make a trip through the box-
wood and holly country, contracting for
the concern's future supply.

The Market.

The wholesale commission cut flower
houses are active during the time flow-
ers are arriving and for a short while
after. Then they become dull, with lit-
tle splashes of activity now and then.
The retail stores are extremely quiet, as
a rule, a quietness that is broken by a
mail or telephone order or the visit of
a customer, which causes life and move-
ment for a time. This is as much as
can be expected in summer, except at
rare intervals, when hurry-up calls for
absent members of the force and for
supplies of flowers make it possible to
fill a good-sized order in proper style
and on time. Perhaps the actual con-
ditions of the market may be clearly
portrayed by saying that the seller is
dreadfully afraid to miss a sale of his
flowers, lest no one else may want them,
while a buyer is fortunate to find exact-
ly what he wants when he wants it. Of
lourse, this refers to the ordinary buyer,
sot to those located within a stone's
throw of t|ie greatest flower-shipping
center in the east.

More interest centers about valley
than any other flower. While $6 per
hundred still is asked and obtained, it
is not the ruling price that it was one
week ago. This is partly owing to a
weaker market, partly to some inferior
valley. Cattleyas are steadily moving
from the abundant to the scarce side,
the price advancing to keep time. Sweet
peas hav« suffered from the liot

that every variety of plant or flower

pearances are sometimes deceptive. Fig-
ures carefully kept are a much safer
guide than impressions. Sometimes
crops mature too slowly. Sometimes
the market for them is uncertain. Some-
times prices are too low. All these
things show in the figures, though they
may not be clearly recalled at the end
of the season. Each variety should be
subjected to a rigorous scrutiny. Just
what it costs to produce, just what it
yielded should be clearly shown. Should
it fall below a fair profit it should be
discarded for something better, unless
there is some excellent reason for giv-
ing it a further trial.

Where a number of crops are grown
in one house, either at the same time or
in succession, each crop should be
charged with its share of the expense.
Cost of stock is first considered, then

TUNLIN PAINT=We are BEST

Our paint is especially adapted to greenhouses.

The florists say we put the stuff in it. Anyway we pride ourselves on making

a paint that will wear and withstand the exacting greenhouse conditions.

The Moisture Will Not Get Under the Paint

The cost of the paint is small compared with the cost of the labor for putting it
on; therefore why not use the best paint for the purpose, which several years'
experience with g^reenhouses has proven to be Tunlin ?

ON TRIAL;

or, You Are the Judge

<LThe true rule in determining the qualities of a basket is not to conclude whether it
has any bad qualities, for there are few baskets that have real bad qualities; almost
every basket has a combination of good and bad qualities. The rule that should be
followed is to use your best judgment in the different lines you have handled to deter-
mine which have the more good than bad qualities in them.

CWe naturally claim our baskets have more good qualities for the money than ^J
other, but, as you are the buyer, you of course must be the judge. You cannot judge
without evidence of the article. If there is another florist in your city, ask him ; or,
still better, get in a small line of our baskets.

the Paper Whites have cost $168.75,
with a fair share of the cost of the
taxes to be added. There is an ob-
jection to this plan on the ground that
space is more valuable during certain
months than during others. AUow-
' ances can be made for this by requir-
ing a larger profit during the best
months. The records can be readily
kept on cards and then entered in a
record book. When systematically kept
they will be apt to stop leaks and go
a good way toward increasing profits.

The Close of a Notable Career.

Many men and women were gath-
ering at a homelike country residence
in a town of eastern New Jersey on
the afternoon of July 5. Earnest-look-
ing men and women, evidently from
many localities and many walks of life,
drawn together by a common purpose.
That purpose was to pay their last trib-
ute of respect to an honored friend, to
Walter P. Stokes, taken from them in
the midst of life and activity while on
a fishing trip in Maine; the parting had
come in a moment. This was their fare-
well.

As the friends gather in the house
and on the porch there is time to give
an idea of the complexion of the gath-
ering. Here is William F. Dreer, dig-
nified and courteous of manner; near-
by is Frederick J. Michell, whose easy
carriage gives little token of his load
of cares. On the porch is Joseph Hea-
cock, famous for his cultural skill, while
greeting him with a firm handshake is
Leo Niessen, a leader in the commission
world. These four names will sufSce
to show that the best men in seeds,
plants and flowers were present among
the friends of Walter P. Stokes.

A kindly, hearty, human man — that
was Walter P. Stokes, one who threw
the spirit of comradeship into his busi-
ness life to a degree that made meet-
ing him, even for a few moments, a
pleasure. Builder of a large seed house,
owner of the Floracroft Gardens, im-
porter and forcer of lily of the valley.

Mcntlaw The B»n»w wh«n yoa writ*.

Walter P. Stokes accomplished much as
a seedsman and as a florist. Best of all,
he left a name that will longl^e cher-
ished with affectionate regard v by all
who knew him.

The Bichboro Fete.

J. G. Neidinger gave a wonderful
day's outing July 4 to employees of the
J. G. Neidinger Co., at his summer resi-
dence. The employees were taken in
touring cars to the country l«)me, at
Richboro. The party of fun-lovers ar-
rived at 8 o'clock and immediately set
out to look over the town.

A Fourth of July parade was ar-
ranged, in which about fifty young folks
took part. Mrs. Neidiriger, garbed in
red, white and blue, represented Co-
lumbi'a. The draped flag around Co-
lumbia was upheld on each side by Mrs.
Neidinger 's daughters, Eleanor and
Leona. From the Neidinger home the
parade progressed along the main road,
stopping at various places to join with
other folks in national songs. Mr.
Neidinger, the captain, was presented
with two bouquets by residents of Rich-
boro.

After a hearty meal on the Neidinger
lawn, games were arranged by Miss
Laura Ade, in which old and young
joined heartily. A huckleberry pie con-
test was an important feature. Ten of
the jolliest took part, the prize being
won by Mrs. Edna Schmellick. In the
evening the lawn was illuminated with
Japanese lanterns, and the firing of
fireworks closed the exercises of a most
glorious and sane Fourth. Prizes were
awarded Hazel Moyer, Lillian Vogt,
Eva Smith, Emma Fisher, Lillian Koe-
nig, Mrs. Neidinger, Harold Schmellick
and Ruth Rank.

Various Notes. ■

It is announced that the greenhouse
business which was conducted by the
late "Walter P. Stokes, under the name
of Floracroft Gardens, at Moorestown,
N. J., will be continued by Mrs. Walter
P. Stokes, Edward Ross and Thomas
Potts, exactly as in the past. The
Floracroft Gardens are noted for their
fine valley, French and Dutch bulbs,
Easter plants, ferns, lilies and bedding
and vegetable plants.

The Market.

The customary period of summer
deadness now rules in the market. There
are no stable prices and far more flowers
arrive than can be disposed of. Roses,
with the arrival of really hot weather,
have rapidly declined in quality. Their
numbers also are materially reduced.
Prices are low; in fact, no reasonable
oflfer can be refused under present con-
ditions. Carnations still arrive in large
numbers and of fine quality, but buyers
fight shy of them and even at existing
low prices many are wasted. Sweet
peas from under glass are about over,
but there are liberal shipments of good
quality from outdoors, far more than
can be sold. Callas are over. Lilies
have shortened, but there is little call
for them. Peonies are done, but there
is a good variety of other hardy, her-
baceous flowers. Gypsophila elegans is
seen in quantity and sells tolerably
well. GypsopMla paniculata also is com-
ing in.

There is a good supply of the large-
flowered gladioli, but they sell indiffer-
ently. The small gladioli and Spanish
irises are over. Sweet sultans, blue
cornflowers and Canterbury bells sell
moderately and are freely used in win-
dow decorations. Cattleyas are in shorter
supply. The majority bring $3 to $4
per dozen and are mainly C. Gaskelli-
ana. There is little call for green stock.

The Sweet Pea Show.

The dates of the show, July 8 and 9,
proved too early for most growers of
sweet peas in the vicinity of Boston,
and exhibitors came mostly from Lenox,
Pittsfield and Newport. While there
were rather fewer exhibits than usual,
the quality was unusually high, flowers
showing little signs of the protracted
spell of rainy weather. The a^aards and
winning varieties in the leading classes
were as follows:

Twenty-five sprays, white — S. W. Osrlquist,
jrardener to Mrs. Robert Wlnthrop, Lenox. Mass.,
first, with Constance Hlnton; E6wlu Jenkins,
Lenox, Mass., second, with Edna May Improved.
. Twenty-five crimson or scarlet — Edwin Jenkins,
first, with Sunproof Crimson; S. W. Carlqulst,
Beoond. with Scarlet Emperor.

Twenty-five carmine — S. W. Carlqulst, first,
with Rosabplle; Edwin Jenkins, second, with
George Herbert.

Twentv-rtve vellow — E. Edwards, gardener to
A. N. Cooley, Pittsfield, Mass., first, with Mrs.
Dameron; James Watt, gardener to Mrs. W. G.
Weld, second, with Mrs. Dameron.

Twenty-five blue — S. W. Carlqulst. first, with
Blue Monarch; Edwin Jenkins, second, with Blue
Monarch.

a visit to the estate of Walter Hunne-
well, at Wellesley, where T. D. Hat-
field is superintendent. The rhododen-
drons, azaleas and kalmias, which are
features here, had passed, but herba-
ceous plants were in fine condition,
while trees, shrubs and lawns had an
exceptional luxuriance, due to the fre-
quent and copious rainfalls. The old
greenhouses here are, being removed
and foundations for a large and up-to-
date range, to be erected by the King
Construction Co., are completed.

Henry Penn says he never enjoyed
himself more than at the recent adver-
tising men's convention at Philadel-
phia. He made side trips to Washing-
ton and Baltimore while there. Wil-
liam Penn and his family are spend-
ing the month of July at Casco bay. Me.
John Wilson, one of the staff, is spend-
ing his vacation at Atlanta, Ga. A.
Tipton is at Pittsburgh, Pa. Rabbits
playing in a window in which a rock-
bordered stream flows, the ground cover
of wood moss, a pool containing gold-
fish, and other back-in-the-country fea-
tures, appeal to passers-by stronj[ly.

David Welch, of Welch's, is spend-
ing a few weeks' vacation in Maine
and will indulge in his usual equestrian
exercise. Frank Connolly, one of the

is a cross between Christie-Miller and
Richmond and which is well liked by
all who have seen it.

Peter Fisher has finished planting a
large house of roses. These he can use
mostly for his local retail trade. He
has his carnations pulled out and has
started replanting. Stock in the fields
has made a splendid growth of late.
Some of his best outdoor sweet peas
are spoiled by recent torrential rains.
July 3, for instance, we had two inches
of rain in a little over thirty minutes.

All stateroom reservations have been
sold for the outing of the Gardeners'
and Florists' Club, July 14, to Bar
Harbor, Me., in connection with the
exhibition of the American Sweet Pea
Society.

Martin Wax, of Wax Bros., and Mrs.
Wax, are at the Chalfonte, Atlantic
City, for a fortnight, and will later go
to Maine for some salmon fishing. For
the funeral of Jeremiah Williams, at
Phillips Beach, Mass., July 2, this firm
had one of its heaviest orders. June
business was splendid. In window deco-
rations delphiniums, phloxes, gladioli,
nympheeas, Canterbury bells, sweet sul-
tans and sweet peas are used to good
advantage.

Patrick Welch is spending his vaca-
tion at Old Orchard Beach, Me. July 8

The American Gladiolus Society will
hold its annual show and convention in
Horticultural hall August 11 to 13, in
conjunction with the Massachusetts
Horticultural Society. There are thirty
classes devoted to gladioli alone, and a
big exhibition is anticipated.

Henry J. Haas, of the Welch Bros.

York state. I noted at this storje some
fine shipments of Beauty roses, gladioli
and orchids.

The Market.

There is little to report on market
conditions, except that extreme dull-
ness prevails. The supply of stock last
week was large, with the quality poor
in all grades and the demand light.
Hoses were of inferior quality. Prices
ranged from 50 cents per hundred up.
The locally grown stock has the greater
demand. Carnations are in heavy sup-
ply and small of bloom. ~ These are'of-
fered as low as $5 per thousand. Only
a small percentage of first-grade stock
brought $2 per hundred. Gladioli are
coming in finely and the daily supply of
these will be large from now on. The
demand for them has been large all the
week. Mrs. Francis King, America, Au-
gusta and Pink Beauty have the call.
Extra good blooms bring $4 per hun-
dred. Sweet peas still are arriving
heavily. Extra choice stock sells well.
Shasta daisies also are good sellers.
There are large quantities of outdoor
flowers, but these have only a light

Various Notes.

The St. Louis County Growers' As-
sociation held its monthly meeting July
5, at the Eleven Mile House. The meet-
ing was well attended. Much business
was disposed of and it was decided to
hold the annual picnic next month, at
Creve Coeur lake. The recent loss by
hail was fully discussed.

E. Buechel, head of the Riessen Flo-
ral Co., took a week's rest at Union,
Mo, During his absence Miss Pauline
Buechel had charge of the store. She
reports a busy week of funeral work.

Peter Pfaender, assistant to David
Geddis, of Vandervoort's flower depart-
ment, is on a vacation this week. On
his return Edward Westerman will take
a two weeks' vacation. A good sum-
mer business is the report here,

Werner Bros., rose growers at Clay-
ton, Mo,, have two houses in course of
erection, each 32x150. The A, Dietsch
Co., of Chicago, is supplying the mate-
rial. When the houses are completed
Werner Bros, will have nearly 75,000
square feet of glass, Tom Peterson
and Charles Roper are the growers at
this place.

Marion Uhlschmidt, manager at the
East St. Louis store of Grimm & Gorly,

Mrs, Mamie Westhus, widow of the
late Ben Westhus, well known political

FLOWERS FOR THE STATE OF WASHINGTON

SMITH FLORAL CO., 1t12 Broadway

ington avenue florist, is sporting a new
automobile. He will take his family
for a vacation this week. They will
motor as far west as Kansas City. Mr.
Senger said that after a hard season's
work the trip will be a great relief.

Henry Niemeyer, of Kirkwood, died
July 6 of apoplexy. His sudden death
was a great shock to his many friends.
The funeral was held July 9 from his
late residence at Kirkwood. The at-
tendance of florists at the funeral was
large.

Do not forget the florists' picnic,
July 20, at Eomona park. The ma-
jority of the trade have promised to
close their stores at noon. The Florists'
Club invites all florists and their fami-
lies to attend. There will be no charges
and the trustees who have charge of
the affair look for a large attendance.

Count von Hoffman, of George Wald-
bart 's force, has returned from ' his
northern trip. The boss says the Count
has gained several pounds. No doubt
the hot days will soon reduce him to
his former size.

W. S. Wells, vice-president of the Flo-
rists' Club and secretary of the Mis-
souri State Florists' Association, left
July 10 with his family for an auto-
mobile trip to Cincinnati.

William Ossick and Paddy Patton, of
the W. C. Smith Wholesale Floral Co.,
put in a busy week taking stock. Paddy,
when asked how he liked the job, said:

"The job is all right, but this kind of
weather belittles the feat of George
Washington, who crossed the Delaware
through floating cakes of ice."

The Westover Nursery Co. secured in-
corporation papers last week. This com-
pany recently purchased the Rother-
hoever Nursery, of Clayton, Mo. H. W.
Endres is vice-president and manager.
The 35-acre tract is planted to young
nursery stock,

Walter J. Pilcher and A. S. Cerny, of
Kirkwood, are to be seen each evening
trying to master new automobiles. Both
say they will motor to Eomona park
next Thursday, for the picnic.

The Betail Florists' Association will
hold its monthly meeting July 17 at
the Mission Inn Garden. President
Charles Young says that much impor-
tant business will come up for discus-
sion. He expects a large attendance.

"Billy" Smith, head of the W. C.
Smith Wholesale Floral Co., makes
daily trips to his farm in St. Louis
county. He returns with his automo-
bile filled with vegetables, which he
proudly displays to his friends. They
say he is some farmer.

Frank Weber has returned from the
nurserymen's convention at Milwau-
kee, Wis. Mr. Weber reports a good
meeting and says he was made chair-
man of a committee to be selected by
him to form a hail insurance organiza-
tion among the nurserymen, for loss of
outdoor stock by hail.

Arthur Waldman, who has conducted
a store at Delmar and Hamilton avenues
during the last few years, has closed
his doors. The sale of the stock and fix-
tures was made July 8 by George An-

thing except the banquet is free to flo-
rists and their families. Fred A. King,

get, Old Scout, that we expect you to

President. Klrby B. White, Detroit, Mich.:
Secretary-Treasurer, 0. E. Kendel, Clereland, O.

German mails dated Quedlinburg, April
3, arrived in Chicago July 10.

It develops that the acreage of sw«et
corn in Maine this year is much less
than usual and the condition far back-
ward.

The Gray Seed Co., of Billings, Mont.,
has been superseded by the Billings Seed
Co., a new organization, of which S. D.
Macdonald is a member.

W. W. Barnard, Chicago, who returned
recently from California, leaves July 17
on a tour of inspection of the pea crops
in Michigan and Wisconsin.

The weather has turned much more
favorable for the pea and bean growers,
but it is feared that it is too late to naake
much difference in the bean situation;
another short crop is inevitable.

Although the arrivals of German seeds
have almost ceased since April, when a
considerable quantity came in by parcel
post, a number of houses still are hoping
that their pansy seed will get through
the blockade.

The first Harrisii bulbs of the 1916
crop arrived at New York July 3. It was
only twenty-eight cases, three consigned
to E. Fur dell and twenty-five to Maltus
& Ware. The next trip of the Bermudian
will bring the first important shipment
of the season.

GOINa ATTEE MAIL OBDESS.

Securing a charter from the secretary
of state last week increasing its capital
stock to $30,000, the Strieker Seed Co.,
of Asheville, N. C, is undergoing a
complete reorganization. The company
will remodel its establishment at 22
West College street, installing new
equipment and fixtures in preparation
for an extensive mail order business in
addition to a large wholesale and retail

1)11S1I168S

L. R. Strieker, the former proprietor,
conducted the business at its present
location for many years, but owing to
ill health is forced to give up an active
part in the management, D. P. Durban
will succeed as manager of the store.
Mr. Durban was in the seed business in
Augusta for eleven years, and for sev-
eral years previously in Birmingham,
Ala.

M. F. Hoffman is president of the
newly organized concern, Mrs. Annie D.
Martin is vice-president and Stephen
Adams, secretary. The other stockhold-
ers are J. G. Adams, J. G. Merrimon
and L. R. Strieker.

HENBY FIELD'S GOOD YEAR.

At the annual meeting of the Henry
Field Seed Co., Shenandoah, la., held
July 3, the following oflScers were
elected for the coming year: President,
Hinry Field; vice-president, A. L. P.
Thompson; secretary and treasurer, F.
E. Tunnicliff. The board of directors is
the same as last year, with two new
members added: Henry Field, A. L. P.

ring Spencers

CThef House of Burpee has long been recognized as American Headquarters
for Sweet Peas, and our introduction of these Fordbook Strains of Winter-
flowering Spencers marks an era in commercial Sweet Pea growing.

CThe novelties offered below, excepting Yarrawa. are the results of crosses
made at our Fordbook Farms during the past seven seasons. All stocks
are grown at our Floradale Farm, "The California Home of Sweet Peas."

ure 2'« inches in diameter and are perfect in form. A very early, free and continuous

clared, also a special dividend of ten
per cent, making twenty per cent in all.
The company also issued to the em-
ployees a bonus of ten per cent on the
amount of wages they had received dur-
ing the year. This affected 107 people,
cost the company $4,300 and was given
to all employed by the company for fif-
teen weeks or more during the year. In
doing this the company established no
precedent but will continue to pay an
employees' dividend if business justi-
fies it.

This is one of the seed concerns that
has no fear of publicity; it states that
during the year ended June 30, 1916,
it filled 133,652 orders, which totaled
$412,912.29, an average of about $3.09
per order. This is an increase of thirty-
three and one-third per cent over the
preceding year in the number of orders
as well as the gross business.

Out of this amount of business the
orders were distributed as follows:

Aside from this there were other
small scattering items of sales.

A statement of the business done
this year as compared with preceding
years will also be of interest. The fol-
lowing is the amount of gross business
for each of the last four years:

llli- ....:" 227.872.53

Ifttn ; 313,373.12

1016 ::::::.: ••• 412,912.29

Another feature is the fact that the
company depends altogether on adver-
tising for its sales. It does not employ
solicitors or traveling salesmen, but re-
lies on the printed product of its own
printing office. The sales are made di-
rect to the planters, no sales being made
to wholesalers or to the retail trade.
A record kept at the office shows that
it has averaged the receipt of forty-
eight orders for every 100 catalogues
sent out.

The business was originated in 1895,
but kept on its swaddling clothes until
about 1903, when it commenced to
spread. In 1907 it was incorporated
and its real expansion began, after
moving the business into town from the
farm.

BALTIMOBE.

The Market.

Business has dropped to the hot
weather average, which is low. There
is not an extra large supply of stock in
the market, but there is enough for all
demands and then some left over.
Southern gladioli have come in heavily
during the week and have moved fairly
well. Peas are plentiful — far too many
for the demand. A few asters arrived
this week, the first of the season, but
they are only of medium quality. Lilies
are plentiful and have been moving
well. Boses have shortened both in
quality and supply, but the close of the
week's business found many in the
hands of the street boys. A few cama-

JULY and AUGUST

THESE ARE THE MONTHS in which to start seedling Snapdragon
plants to follow Mums. Snapdragons have become immensely pop-
ular, and for profit to grower there is no plant that touches them.
We have all of the good ones, seed of which were grown under
glass, with each variety in a separate house— meaning the best seed
that can be produced. Prices as follows :

Seed of our original Silver Pink Snapdragon, $1.00 per pkt.;
3 for $2.50; 7 for $5.00. Seed of Nelrose, Garnet, Yellow,
Buxton, Phelps' White and fancy Mixed, 35c per pkt.; 3 for
$1.00. Frse cultural directions. All orders cash.

There is a big shortage of Snapdragon plants, due to rainy season,
so grow all the plants that you can and market any surplus. Our
famous Silver Pink will be the leader, with our other good ones in
their color. Every mail brings repeat orders and puffs for RAMS-
BURG'S SILVER PINK.

Remember July and August and start
some seedling Snapdragon plants.

with an average demand. Their quality
is none too good. Green goods are in
heavy supply and all the stores are
overstocked.

Club Meeting.
The regular meeting of the Florists'
Club was held July 10. The night was
exceedingly warm and the attendance
only light. The routine business quick-
ly was disposed of and was followed by
a discussion of the trip to Harpers
Ferry and surrounding country. It was
finally decided that July 27 should be
the date, the meeting place the club
rooms, at 8 a. m. sharp. As the trip
will be a long one, it is necessary to
leave town early. Lunch may be had
at Harpers Ferry or some other point,
which will be decided upon before leav-
ing the city. Those who wish to pro-
vide a hamper of edibles will not find
it out of place. Those who contemplate
going would do well to get in touch
with John J. Perry, who is chairman of
the committee.

Various Notes.

S. W. Shanklin is shipping some of
the first asters of the season to the Leo
Niessen Co.

M. Hilpert is preparing to extend
each of his houses twenty feet. All the
material is on hand and work will be
started shortly.

John Cook has been cutting some
good Iris Ktempferi.

Charles E. Seybold, who formerly was
connected with the park system of this
city but who now is with the public
parks of Wilkes-Barre, Pa., is in town
for the Elks' convention.

Samuel Feast & Sons staged a special
■window display in honor of the visiting
Elks. The entire window was taken up
with a realistic reproduction of the
Natural Bridge of Virginia, with a por-
tion of the stream and surrounding
scenery. The rocks were of papier-
mache, and to imitate the st^am mir-
rors were used. W. F. E.

for many years. Read the following letters and judge for yourself
if it is not worth while to buy the best seed obtainable:

Mr. David J. Scott, Corfu. N. Y.

Dear Sir: The Mignonette that you have been shipping us is
the best that is coming to this market, and we have been able to
sell this in preference to other shipments, and maintaining a
higher price. 1 think you have an exceedingly fine strain— in
fact, the very best one that I have ever seen.

Very truly yours.

Buffalo. N. Y., Dec. 20. 1916.
Mr. David J. Scott, Corfu. N. Y.

Dear Sir : We received the Mignonette this a. m. and would
say the shipment was sold out as soon as it was laid out on the
sales table. The Quality certainly was excellent ; no fitter has
been received in this market in some time, and as the time is near-
ing the holidays we hope to be able to receive and handle all you
can ship. We will warrant that the returns will prove satisfactory.
Yours very truly, Wm. P. Kasting Co.

STEM-EOT OF TOMATOES.

I am sending a sample tomato from
my greenhouse. There seems to be
something wrong with the vine. The
root and tomato are in good condition
and the tomatoes continue to stay on
the vine. I had 500 plants in the
house and the tomatoes are ripening
now. Five of the plants were aflfected
in the same way as the one I am send-
ing. I pulled them up and destroyed
them. The rest of the plants are in
good condition and are doing well.
Please let me know the cause and
remedy as soon as possible.

M. W. B.— Kan.

The portion of stem forwarded came
in a completely rotted condition and
it was practically impossible to tell
anything about the nature of the dis-
ease. Possibly you have been keeping
the atmospheric conditions too moist.
This, added to dampness at the root,
would be likely to cause such trouble,
especially if the tomatoes are quite
closely planted. Tomatoes want a dry
atmosphere and it is always safer to
run them a trifle on the dry side at the
root. They should never be sprayed.
Never keep the ventilators closed down
tightly in damp weather. Even when
you use no fire heat, keep some air
moving. You were quite right in de-
stroying the aflfected plants and, as
these fungoid troubles are generally
carried over in the soil, I would sug-
gest sterilizing your soil before plant-
ing another season. C. W.

Market conditions are satisfactory.
There is no oversupply in any line. Gla-
dioli are abundant. Their quality is
good and worth the price asked. Boses
are not in oversupply, since there are no
more home-grown carnations. Bussell,
Ophelia and White Killarney are the
leaders. Boses, generally, are of better
quality than a year ago. Lilies have

THE KENILWORTH Giant Pansy

Seeds are all grown by myself and are offered In the foUowlngr mix-
tures and separate colors:

22. GIANT KENILWOBTH STRAIN. The flowers are of perfect form

and substance; thany of the Immense flowers are from 3^ to 4

' inches. It is a strlklner collection of beautiful colors and markings.

rich with shades of red, brown, bronze, mahogany and many others

too numerous to mention. Light, Medium or Dark Mixtures.

24. GIANT KBNILWORTH SHOW. An extra flne strain of large flow-
ers; the Immense flowers are of circular form and great substance.
A beautiful collection of colors and markings.

26. GIANT KENILWORTH CUT IXOWER MIXTURE. Is a distinct class
by itself, surpassing all other strains as a cut flower or for exhibi-
tion purposes, for inside or outside growing; the large flowers are
carried erect above the foliage on heavy stems, 7 or 8 inches long,
in the most graceful manner, and stand the hot, dry weather well.

28. GIANT MASTERPIECE. A remarkable type; the curled, wavy petals
giving the flower a double appearance; large flowers of great sub-
stance, on long, strong stem.

30. GIANT THREE AND FIVE BLOTCHED PANSIES. A superb mix-
ture. Flowers large and of circular form and of great substance.
The display of coloring Is unsurpassed. A combination of almost
every shade of rich, velvety colors; reds are particularly conspic-
uous; the petals being distinctly marked with three or five large,
dark blotches.

32. GIANT PARISIAN. The flowers are of enormous size and beautifully
marked, mostly flne dark blotches on white and yellow ground;
an unusually showy mixture.

34. GIANT BRONZE. A flne mixture sf all shades of velvety brown,
bronze, Havana brown, mahogany and copper shades.

46. GIANT APOLIiO (Masterpiece type). New bronze, veined and
blotched. Strongly frilled petals. A superb Pansy.

49. GIANT MERCURY. New. A deep blackish purple, really self-col-
ored, without blotches or spots. The flowers are extraordinary In
' size and substance, being the largest flowers of all self-colored
Pansies.

82. ORCHID FLOWERED, Mixed. A dwarf, fres bloomer, with a range
of delicate colors that do not exist in any other Pansies; a re-
markable combination of light rose, shell pink, blush mauve,
fawn, light brown, orange and chamois.

Hew Early -flowerini or Winter-blooming Giant Tansies •^'««»f Kenilworth Pansy Seed

An entirely new and distinct strain of Pansies. The main advantage of
these new Pansies over all hitherto existing Pansies Is the extreme earliness
of flowering and its unusual hardiness, which enables them to withstand quite
severe Winters, and to bloom right on Into the Summer. Sown at the same
time as other Pansies, they begin flowering the early part of March or as soon
as the snow is off the ground, many times having four or five large flowers
to a plant, when all other Pansies are only showing buds. The flowers are
large, well formed and fragrant. They are highly recommended for Autumn
planting on graves and for very early bedding, as well as for early cut
flowers. Each color separate or mixed.

This strain is entirely distinct from all others. It is absolutely compact,
upright growing, and extremely weatherproof, enduring many storms with-
out damage to its flower. The flowers are mostly blotched and frilled like the
Masterpiece, of good form and heavy, velvety texture, on heavy stems carried
well above the foliage. Attractive by the brilliancy of Its colors.

Jolt 13, 1910.

little demand. Sweet peas are good, con-
sidering the hot weather we have.
Green goods have been scarce.

Various Notes.

The W. iL. Eock Flower Co. reports
business especially good. W. L. Bock
is spending a vacation of several weeks
fishing at the Lake View Club. Miss
Bichards, with this concern, left for a
two weeks ' stay in Colorado and Walter
Obeig also is on a vacation,

A. F. Barbe has his carnation and
chrysanthemum plants in the houses.
Busi. ess is good; bedding stock con-
tinues to move.

T. J. Noll, of T. J. Noll & Co., left
this week for a two weeks' trip, stop-
ping over in Chicago for a short stay.
Business with his company is good. They
are receiving 1,500 carnations daily
from Colorado. Large quantities of
gladioli a^d first-class roses arrive daily.
E. D. Ellsworth has planted his pla«e
to 10,000 chrysanthemums. He has de-
cided not to grow young poinsettia
plants, as it interferes with his retail
trade to a certain extent. He is spend-
ing the summer at Forest lake.

Samuel Murray reports business good
for this time of the year. He had a
large decoration at the Country Club
last week.

Mrs. T. A. Moseley is spending her
vacation at Forest lake.

James B. Masson went fishing last
week, but as yet we have not heard how
many fish he caught.

Business across the state line has been
better than was expected. Decorative
work was heavier than usual.

Samuel Seligman, of Wertheimer
Bros., New York; Arthur Zirkman, rep-
resenting the M. Bice Co., Philadelphia;
Frank Anderson and Frank McCabe, of
the A. L. Bandall Co., Chicago, called on
the trade last week. W. J. B.

Litchfield, HI. — A large addition has
been made to the Cottage Greenhouses.

Baraboo, Wis.— William Toole & Son
say they are much pleased with their
pansy seed crop this year; while many
reports are heard of trouble with pan-
sies, their crop is the largest ever.

Spokane, Wash. — Peters & Sons have
contracted for the erection of two
greenhouses.

Oakland, CaL — Another woman to
enter the florists' business is Miss May
Black, of 577 Forty-first street.

Lents, Ore. — As August Weber was
about to start out in life, his father
imparted to him some paternal advice,
in which particular stress was laid on
the desirability of owning one's busi-
ness, though it were only a peanut
stand. Accordingly, after four years
of apprenticeship in the florists' busi-
ness, Mr, Weber has taken his father's
advice and launched a flower business
of his own.

LOS ANGELES.

The Market.

The "only florists' holiday" was en-
joyed by many of our wholesalers and
retailers by making trips to the ocean
or the mountains, and all reported an
excellent time. Vacation and holiday
feelings are in the air and the scribe
who goes around looking for news of
flowers and the flower business is likely
to be regaled with stories of big fish or
speed records.

Stock piled up pretty rapidly last
week, in spite of a lot of funeral and
wedding work. In roses, fine stock
from the north continues to augment the
local supply and in many cases the
quality is equal, if not superior, to that
of the home-grown stock. Asters are
extra fine now and the purple known
as Elks' color is especially popular.
New-crop carnations also are making a
splendid showing, while dahlias, gla-
dioli and centaureas are here to burn.
Large shipments of northern greens
are arriving and it is difficult to see
what becomes of all the stock.

Varlons Notes.

Tassano Bros, are showing a fine line
of maidenhair ferns, grown in their new
nursery at Glendale. They report that
business is good in all classes of sup-
plies and evergreens.

O. W. Saakes, familiarly known to
the trade as "Billy," left Los Angeles
July 1 for an automobile trip. He in-
tended to visit the San Diego fair, re-
maining in the city over the Fourth,
after which his movements would be
uncertain.

Always pleasant and smiling, the
countenance of H. N. Gage has been so
particularly radiant the last few days
that one was tempted to seek the rea-
son. It was found in the 9-pound boy
that arrived in the Gage home last
week. Both mother and boy are thriv-
ing in the delightful air of Monterey
Park, until recently known as Monte-
bello.

Murata & Co. are doing a thriving
business in carnations, gladioli and as-
ters.

Wright's Flower Shop is making a
splendid show of stoc^ grown at the
Gardena range. While other growers
and retailers seem to be having trouble
over the valley situation, the stock at

the Fourth street store always seems
to be perfect.

Fred Sperry, of the L. A. Floral Co.,
is handling the gladiolus cut from F.
Stoneham, of Riverside.

When Charles Winsel sold his nurs-
ery branch at the corner of Washing-
ton and Figueroa streets, it became nec-
essary for Miss Rohr to seek new quar-
ters and these she has found at 1907
Washington street, where she is estab-
lishing an attractive store.

Frank Lichtenberg commenced to
pull out the interior decorations of his
store July 4, and while it seemed rather
a shame to destroy the beautiful and
effective work put in only two years
ago, yet we look for something even
more effective in the new arrangement.
For one thing, the beautiful fountain
and artificial rock effect took up more
room than could be spared, owing to the
increased business, and Mr. Lichten-
berg is nothing if not progressive.

C. Gutting, of the Superior Nursery
Co., drove to Tia Juana, Mexico, for
the Fourth of July races.

At the monthly meeting of the Los
Angeles County Horticultural Society,
held at Kruckeberg's hall, J. White-
head, of the staff of H. W. Turner,
Montebello, was to have spoken on
"Baby Roses," but the evening was
practically 4a|kei^j|p l^ business matt|(|B
and Mr. Whitehead kindly consoii^ed to
hold over his paper for the August
meeting. One of the matters up for dis-
cussion was that of a change in the
meeting place, and it was decided to
accept the offer of the Los Angeles
Chamber of Commerce to hold the meet-

committee was elected, consisting of the
present officers and Frank Lewin, H. R.
Richards and E. Hunt. The executive
meetings still will be held at the old
hall, kindly lent free of all charges for
several years by the Kruckeberg Press.
A visitor from the north was welcomed
in the person of J. Clark, of the Cottage
Gardens Nurseries, Eureka, Cal., who
gave a short description of some of the
work already done there and the bigger
things in prospect. Mr. Clark was for-
merly connected with the California
Nursery Co., of Niles, and left there
for his present sphere of action last
May. The quarterly smoker of the so-
ciety was held at Christopher 's July 8,
with a big attendance.

J. Dieterich reports an extra heavy

The Market.

There is an abundance of stock of
excellent quality, which makes it hard
for the retailers to keep from over-
loading their stores. Inferior flowers
are difficult to move at any price. Dah-
lias are at their height and move
quite readily, considering the gener-
ous offerings of other seasonable stock.
Some attractive new varieties have
made their appearance this season, but
none of them as yet can be called a
definite success. There is a magnificent
crop of gladioli, especially of Niagara,
Panama and Mrs. Francis King, all of
which move well. Sweet peas are not
so plentiful as they were, but they con-
tinue to arrive in sufficient quantity to
fill all requirements. Carnations are
plentiful and move rather slowly. Some
nice larkspur is coming in and may be
had at low prices. There is a large
cut of snapdragon, some of which is
unusually good stock. Scabiosas, sweet

sultans, gypsophilas, etc., show no signs
of abating in supply.

Among the statice shown this summer
are some unusual varieties, which are
quite popular. Asters still are short-
stemmed, but good stock is expected in
a week or two. Notwithstanding the
ample supply and great variety of flow-
ers already on the market, new lilies
are being well received. Lilium ru-
brum and L. auratum are coming in
plentifully. Eoses, fortunately, are in
lighter supply, otherwise they would be
a drug on the market. The yellow va-
rieties are popular. There is plenty of
valley, but orchids remain rather scarce.
However, no real shortage is felt, as
the demand is not urgent. In flower-
ing plants hydrangeas are the principal
feature, and they maintain their popu-
larity wonderfully well. The trade is
beginning to look forward to the ar-
rival of the 1916 chrysanthemum crop,
which the growers say promises well at
Ijhis early date.

Horticiiltural Society Meeting.

At the monthly meeting of the Pa-
cific Coast Horticultural Society, held
on the evening of July 1, with a fair
attendance, a letter from Amsterdam
was read to the society, offering the
services of a bureau free to the mem-
bers wishing to export to or import
from Holland. In behalf of the picnic
committee, D. Raymond announced that
arrangements were complete for the
outing to be held July 30 at Pinehurst,
on the electric line of the Oakland-
Antioch railroad. Tickets were on sale
at the meeting and members were noti-
fied that they could be had later at all
the downtown stores showing cards in
the windows to that effect. The com-
mittee on by-laws was discharged, with
thanks.

Secretary Walter Hofinghoff read
Richard Diener's paper on "Hybridiz-
ing," and a vote of thanks was taken.
The flower show committee suggested
that a dahlia show be arranged for
September and the proposition met
with favor. It was decided to hold the
show and to leave the arrangements in
the hands of the committee. It was
voted that the secretary send letters
of condolence to several members in
whose families deaths recently have
occurred. The question of wholesalers
selling at retail in San Francisco and
Oakland came up for discussion and it
was moved that a committee be ap-
pointed to confer with a committee of
retail florists in the matter.

After some discussion regarding the
desirability of gardeners in this vi-
cinity being organized, it was decided
that it was outside the functions of
the society to act. No exhibits were
entered for award, but F. C. Burns
showed two new seedling dahlias, hy-
brids of Delice and Geisha, which have
not been named. Charles Abraham ex-
hibited a spray each of tecoma, big-
nonia, metrosideros and thalictrum.

There is a steadily increasing demand
for Schwedler maple.

The spring season has given the peony
growers a nice bunch of fall retail orders
from those who visited the fields while
the bloom was on.

The boards of general appraisers are
advancing the values declared for many
of the importations of Boskoop stock
shipped during February and March.

D. W. Hunter, of Chattanooga, Tenn.,
has filed a petition in bankruptcy in be-
half of the Chattanooga Nursery Co. Lia-

A. E. Gross, to whose abilities W. N.
Eudd credits much of the beauty of
Mount Greenwood cemetery, Morgan Park,
111., is about to open an office at Detroit
to practice his profession as landscape
gardener.

It is almost too much to expect that a
man will send his surplus to the bonfire
when he sees his competitor turning a
similar stock into a new touring car by
means of connection with some depart-
ment store.

The Elkon Nursery Co., of Huntsville,
Ala., has completed the installation of
new waterworks, comprising a drilled
well, pump, gasoline engine, water tanks,
etc. The company specializes in shrubs
and rooted cuttings of shrubs and roses,
all "made in America."

It is said that there are a number of
new peonies soon to come out that are
expected to make a name for America,
but the man who does the work will be
entitled to all the fruits of his success.
When one considers that paeonia seeds
generally require two years to germinate,
with three more for the first characteris-
tic bloom, it is apt to discourage all save
those who labor for love.

UNCLAIMED IMPORTED STOCK.

Customs officials have just been noti-
fied by Assistant Secretary of the
Treasury Andrew J. Peters that un-
claimed nursery stock may be sold with-
out the certificate of an officer of the
Agricultural Department that is pro-
vided for in Treasury Decision No.
34151, of February 6, 1914, and that
decision is amended accordingly, when
it is found by the collector that a per-
mit has been issued by the Agricultural
Department for the nursery stock, that
foreign certificates of inspection are
attached to the containers, and that the
latter are plainly marked to show the
general nature and quantity of the con-
tents, the name and address of the ex-
porter, the name and address of the con-
signee, and the country and locality
where the stock was grown. Unclaimed
nursery stock not coming under the
above provisions is to be destroyed un-
der customs supervision by burning.

interesting query from a Minnesota
farmer:

"Can a man who sells 2-foot ever-
greens and delivers trees only six to
fifteen inches high be arrested for
giving short measure, and to whom
should I complain!"

The question raises an important
point as to the legal liability of a
nurseryman who delivers younger stock
than he contracted to sell. I know of

no law which makes such default a
criminal offense. My correspondent has
evidently jumped at a conclusion that,
it being generally an offense to sell
agricultural products by false measure,
a nurseryman ought to be subject to
prosecution in such a case as he men-
tions. But a moment's reflection will
show that there is a fundamental dif-
ference as to means of deception, and
it is doubtless this difference which

has led legislatures to withhold attempt
to enact laws to fit such cases. The
buyer of a quantity of potatoes has no
means of determining whether a bushel
delivered to him is short or not. The
delivery may seem to be full and yet be
short. But there is no room for such
fraudulent deception in the case my
farmer friend presents. When trees
are sold by length or number, a pur-
chaser can readily verify his purchase.
But although there is no legal remedy
by criminal prosecution, there are plain
and fair civil remedies: The buyer may
refuse to accept delivery of stock
which fails to come up to the terms of
his order as to size or variety; he may
waive this remedy and accept the de-
livery and hold the selling nurseryman
liable to damages, measured by the
excess of the value of the stock con-
tracted for above that delivered. This
claim may be enforced either by coun-
terclaim against the seller's demand
for payment of the agreed price, or by
independent claim if the full price has
been paid. S-

"There is room for a good scarlet," is a common expression among carnation growers these days.
We think that in MERRY CHRISTMAS we have the nearest approach to the scarlet you are
looking for, that has been offered to date. High-grade blooms freely produced and of a deep
scarlet color. Always good color. Always strong in stem and does not split. The best scarlet in
sight. We are booking orders right along now. Better let us have yours, too.

MINNEAPOLIS.

Various Notes.

The Minneapolis Floral Co. is cutting
a good batch of roses, comprising "Ward,
Killarney, Eichmond and other vari-
eties. Carnations and snapdragons also
are much in evidence at the store. The
planting of chrysanthemums has been
completed.

The Hiawatha Nursery Co. has set
out a fine lot of mums. The ferns are
in splendid condition.

The weather last -week was warm.
Flower gardens and parks are blazes
of blooms, the hardy flowering plants
doing extremely well.

The Mazey Floral Co. had several
artistic window displays last week.
Large clusters of garden flowers in
handsome containers were arranged
with ferns, palms and roses. Business
is splendid at the Mazey Floral Co.
store, both in retail work and in the
decorative department.

The Lake Street Florist is progressing
rapidly. Last week there was an at-
tractive display of large baskets of
gladioli, irises and daisies.

Miss H. B. Whitted continues to be
the busy business woman. Her two
stores are well patronized and the
many orders for decorations keep the
staff stepping lively. During the in-
tense heat last week one gave a sigh of
relief on entering the Whitted stores,
which, somehow, have a cool appear-
ance.

W. F. Holmes has turned out con-
siderable decorative work of late.
His place of business was a sight
to please any eye last week. There
■Was an unusual display of high-
grade flowers and new creations in re-
ceptacles. The Fourth of July window
showed the stars and stripes set oflE by
the deep purple of irises.

The New York Florist store is a busy
place these days. A fine business is
done in plants, cut flowers and decora-
tive work.

T. S. (Lynes has a fine stock of cut
flowers and reports good business.

Carnation stocks in the fields are do-
ing well, although at first the growths
were a bit soft. Where properly
stopped, the plants are good and bushy.
Great quantities of carnations are used
in the Twin Cities, but not one-tenth
of them are grown here. Some day
they will be. F. E. B.

NEWPORT, E. I. .

Alfred T. Bunyard has acquired a 22-
horsepower touring car and a 22-horse-
power truck.

Miss Emma Hitchie and two children
of her brother, Charles Eitchie, were
among the victims of a wholesale poi-
soning case at a Sunday school picnic.

Ealph Armstrong had a pretty float
in the preparedness parade here July
4. At the recent parade of the Moose
Oscar Schultz's float won the cup as
the best decorated automobile in line.

Peter M. Eennie has accepted a posi-
tion as gardener for H. F. Webster, at

The Market.

While the wedding season is prac-
tically over, there were a few nuptials
last week that gave work to some of
the stores. The transient trade had
fallen off and the trade does not ex-
pect much business during the next
three months. Prices have dropped
since the first of the month. Sweet
peas and carnations continue to come
into the market in good quantities and
they are cheap. Greenhouse-grown
roses are as good as can be expected
now and bring a fair price for this sea-
son of the year. Red Dorothy Perkins
and Dorothy Perkins ramblers are seen
in the market. In addition to the culti-
vated daisies, some of the florists carry
wild daisies and use them in low-priced
pieces. Black-eyed susans also are \ised.
While there still is a good variety of
flowers to choose from, each week sees
a smaller selection. Gladioli are com-
ing into the market more freely, but as
yet are not at all plentiful.

Various Notes.

W. C. & C. Emery is the name under
which the nursery and landscape busi-
ness is conducted at 181 Lincoln place,

Fred P. Wolfinger reports that busi-
ness is keeping up well for this season
of the year, there being the usual fu-
neral pieces and quite a batch of wed-
ding work.

Mrs. C. M. Hutchinson, of Elizabeth,
reports that the spring and early sum-
mer were good this year. She is occu-
pied with cemetery work, in addition to
other trade. R. B. M.

Greenhouse Heating.

THREE FLOWS ABE NEEDED.

I am about to erect one house, 25x
60, with three feet of glass in each side
wall and glass in one gable. Will you
advise me as to the heating, telling me
how many runs of 2-ineh pipe are re-
quired to maintain a temperature of
60 degrees in zero weather? Would
two 21^-inch flow pipes and fourteen
2-inch returns be about right!

E. N. J.— Mich.

While the arrangement of pipes sug-
gested might be used, it would require
frequent attention and heavy firing in
zero weather and would be wasteful of
labor and material. We would prefer
to use three 2V^-inch flow pipes and
fifteen 2-inch returns. One flow may
be placed upon each plate and the other
three or four feet below the ridge.
Connect the highest point of each flow
pipe with the expansion tank and give
all of the pipes a slight fall, so that
the air cannot pocket. Join five re-
turns to each flow pipe and place one
coil on each wall or under the side
benches, distributing the remaining
pipes under the middle benches.

EXPANSION TANK UNDER EIDGE.

Can you give me some information
about the heating of the greenhouse
which is shown in the enclosed sketch?
I have a Wilks boiler, 24x48. It has
two 2-inch outlets and three 2-inch
openings for returns. Please state how
to pipe the house and how to locate the
expansion tank. My plan is to connect
the two 2-inch risers with a 4-inch flow
pipe, run the 4-inch pipe under the
ridge to the farther end, and there
have it branch so as to feed one 4-
inch return under each of the outside
benches and two 4-inch returns under
iAth of the middle benches. There
would be a 4-inch main return from
♦he south bench and the two middle
benches, while the north main return
would run directly to the boiler, after
being reduced to 2-inch. I wish to hold
the temperature at 65 to 70 degrees in
zero weather. A mixed stock for retail
will be grown. I can only place the
expansion tank in the greenhouse, un-
der the ridge. Will it be high enough
there? A. F. W.— HI.

The sketch shows the house to be
22x100, with eighteen inches of glass in
one wall. There is a bench three feet
wide along each side wall and there are

HEATKD BY KROESCHILL ■•ILERS

The Conservatories of the President of the United States and the
U. S. Propagating Gardens are located opposite the Washington monu-
ment at Washington, D. C. Over forty greenhouses are devoted to the
growing of cut flowers, orchids, stove plants, tropical and decorative
stock, and all bedding and ornamental plants for the U. S. Government
buildings and grounds at Washington.

A No. 11 KROESCHELL BOILER was installed in 1906 for the
high temperature houses. This boiler replaced a number of other makes
and made a remarkable record for fuel economy.

UNCLE SAM'S IRON FRAME RANGE ERECTED IN 1910 IS
HEATED BY KROESCHELL BOILERS.

The Plant Introduction Garden of the United States Department of
Agriculture at Chico, California, is heated by No. 2 Kroeschell Boiler
and Generator System.

In 1912 two No. 5 KROESCHELL BOILERS were installed for the
new range of the U. S. Department of Agriculture, at Garrett Park, Md.

The U. S. Government's new establishment, the Northern Great
Plains Field Station, at Mandan, N. Dakota, ordered a No. 7 KROES-
CHELL BOILER for the new greenhouse range erected in 1913.

August, 1914, two more No. 11 KROESCHELL BOILERS were
ordered for White House Conservatories and U. S. Propagating Gardens,

two benches in the middle of the house,
each five feet wide.

"With the piping arranged as de-
scribed in the letter, it might be pos-
sible to maintain a temperature of 60
degrees in zero weather, but we would
not expect more than that, especially
as the two 2-inch flow ports in the
boiler should not be relied on for more
than 600 square feet of radiation and
that should be supplied by small pipes.

We would prefer to use three 2%-
inch flow pipes, but, if it is not feasible
to tap the boiler so that three flows
could be connected, we would run a
2%-inch flow under the ridge, reduc-
ing it to connect with one of the 2-inch
ports. Then run one 2-inch flow upon
each plate and connect these with the
other port. Use twelve 2-inch returns,
placing three under each bench, and
connect those under the side benches
with the flows on the plates, and the
others with the overhead flow. The re-
turns should be connected with the
boiler by means of three 2-inch main
returns.

By starting the overhead flow pipe
about thirty inches below the ridge, it
will be possible to place the expansion
tank between the flow pipe and the
ridge. The highest part of each of the
other flow pipes should also be connect-
ed with the expansion tank. If this is
done, the use of air valves will be
avoided.

QBOUND SLOPES TO SOUTH.

We are preparing ta rebuild our
greenhouses and want your advice
about the arrangement of the hot water
pipes. As is indicated in the rough
sketch which we enclose, the houses
will run north and south. There will
be two connected houses, each 22x80,
and one 18x50, west of the others and
separated from ..them by a partition.
You will also notice that we have
arranged to have the boiler room at the
south end of the west house, the shorter
one. This is done because the ground
has a slope to the south of two or
three feet to the hundred, but if you
can designate a better position for the
boiler we shall be pleased to have your
suggestion.

In the two east houses we wish to
maintain a temperature of 50 to 55
degrees, and in the other house 60 de-
grees. The outside temperature here
seldom drops lower than 15 degrees
above zero. We already have 250 feet
of 4-inch pipe and 725 feet of the 2V2-
inch size, which we should like to use.
fhe two front gables will be of glass
and there will be two feet of glass in
the sides. The 4-foot walls under the
glass will be of hollow tile and con-
crete. The porth end of the houses
will be protected by the potting shed.

The "Detroit" System has many

enviable records. In one place a

"Detroit" paid for itself in thirty

days.

Pleasurable Economy

To meet competition or increase profits,
it is necessary to cut down on produc-
tion cost.

There is one place in your plant where
you can save a lot of money, and every-
one involved will welcome the change.

If you are using no device for handling
the condensation in your beating plants
or have one of those working on old
principles, you should install a "Detroit"
System as soon as possible.

Then you will not only save many hun-
dreds of dollars on your fuel b'll, but
will make the engineer's work much
lighter and actually have a more effi-
cient heating plant all around.

The "Detroit" System does three things
—any one of which would save enough
to pay for the system within a short
time—

1. Positively removes all condensation from
the steam lines, allowing the live steam
free passage through the pipes and thus
cutting down on repair bills and the
amount of time the engineer must give
to caring for the steam plant.

2. Returns the condensation directly to the
boiler before it has a chance to cool. The
pump method cannot handle condensation
hotter than 212 degrees, but the "Detroit"
System can handle it at KiO or 340 degrees.
The "Detroit" System saves heat that
would be wholly or partially wasted under
other systems.

3. Does this automatically— takes none of the
engineer's time. All parts are readily
accessible.

Your Condensation," No. 5-A.

."We shall use a Kroeschell boiler, No.
1 or No. 2. C. G.— Tex.

In the northern states it is preferable
to locate the boiler house at the north
end of the range, but we presume that
the slight shade cast by the boiler
house when located at the southwest
corner will be less objectionable in
Texas. Therefore, since the slope of
the land makes that the logical place
for the boiler, we will not suggest any
change.

For' heating the larger houses to a
temperature of 50 to 55 degrees when
the outside temperature is 15 degrees
above zero, we would suggest using a
4-inch main upon the east wall of the
east house and another upon the west
wall of the west house, and with each
of these we would supply three 2%-
inch returns. If benches are used in
*hese houses, and if bottom heat is
iesired, run a 2^ -inch flow pipe three
or four feet below each ridge and con-
nect each of them with two 2%-inch
returns. If this is not feasible or de-
sirable, we would suggest carrying a
2%-inch flow pipe on the posts be-
tween the two houses and with this
feeding four 2i4-inch returns under-
neath. For the other house, 18x50, to
be heated to 60 degrees, we would run
a 2% -inch flow pipe on the outer wall
at the plate and supply four 2-inch
-"•turns underneath. There should also
he four 2-inch returns on the other side
**t the house; these should be con-
nected at the north end with the flow
^)lpe in the middle house.

in order to pipe the two 80-foot
tiouses in this way, it will be necessary
to sink the boiler so that the flow pipes
to those houses can be carried due east
from the boiler under the walks. If
that cannot be done, the boiler house
will have to be located at the south end
of the houses, so that the flow pipes
can be carried directly to the plates.
It would also be possible to have the
boiler At the north end by grading so
that the walks would be practically
level. We would make the smokestack
thirty to forty feet high, according to
surroundings, measuring from the point
where the smoke pipe from the boiler
enters.

WASHINGTON, D. O.

The Market.

Considering the extreme heat, stock
is good. Flowers are plentiful and,
added to this, business is good for this
season of the year. Trade is confined
largely to funeral work, but there seems
to be a growing demand in Washington
for flowers for hospitals. This latter
business is most acceptable and several
. of the florists are using their best ef-
forts to foster this demand.

Dahlias now are coming in. Despite
the fact that it is too early for predic-
tions, these show great promise. Bud-
dleia is coming into the market in fine
shape and is meeting with some de-
mand. Notwithstanding the intense
heat of last week, indoor sweet peas
are of exceptional quality and are re-
taining their popularity, selling well.
Large quantities of outdoor sweet peas
also are being offered in the market.

Gardenias still are exceedingly plen-
tiful and there is a limited sale of
them. Eoses in all colors are suflBcient
in quantity to more than meet all de-
mands. Mock and Eed Radiance are
exceptionally good. Carnations still are
to be had, but the blooms are too small
to be of much value. The cut of gla-
dioli is larger and prices have dropped
accordingly. It is hard to move these
fiowers at $2 and $3 per hundred and
large quantities are going to waste.

Various Notes.

William P. Gude, as exalted ruler of
the Elks of Washington, played a prom-
inent part in the reception tendered a
large party of members of that order
who visited this city while on their way
to the convention in Baltimore.

When the call to arms came it was
found that there were a number of pa-
■ triots among the boys of the florists '
trade in the National Capital, for now
encamped at Camp Radio, Va., awaiting
orders that will send them to Bisbee,
Ariz., and possibly across the line into
Mexico, are five employees of the Gude
Bros. Co. Of these Edward Wilson is
a sergeant in the commissary depart-
ment, while among the privates are Ed-
ward Henning and Robert Baggott, who
were employed at the greenhouses, and
Norman Padgett and Leslie A. Dix, who
were employed at the store. The boys
mentioned are enlisted for a term of
three years. Others do not care to be
tied up for that length of time.

J. Louis Loose, accompanied by Mrs.
Loose, is spending a ten days' vacation
at Berkeley Springs, W. Va., one of the
most popular mountain resorts in this
section.

East and West Seaton parks will be
added to the Botanic Gardens, if the
Senate follows the advice of its library
committee and enacts into law the bill
the committee recommends, which has
this extension in view. This will give
the gardens an increase of about twen-
ty-seven acres of ground. At the time
of agreeing to the adoption of the bill
members of the committee made com-
plimentary remaiks on the efficiency of
Superintendent Ge9i;ge W. Hess.

George Maunz, representing Reed &
Keller, of New York, made a round of
the stores last week while on his way
south. C. L. L.

ENOXVILLE, TENN.

The Society Picnic.

The Knoxville Florists' Society held
its third annual picnic Thursday, July
6, at Elkmont, Tenn., a delightful spot
about sixty miles from Knoxville. The
picnickers left Knoxville on a special
train at 8 o 'clock in the morning, reach-
ing the destination at about 11 a. m.
The trip was made in closed cars until
Walland was reached, where an obser-
vation car was added, giving the pic-
nickers a chance to enjoy the beautiful
scenery. The weather favored the oc-
casion, as the cool breeze and sun 's rays
cooled and tanned the faces of the jo-
vial crowd.

On reaching Elkmont pictures were
made of the entire company, and then
an elaborate and most delicious basket
dinner was served on the grounds.

There were a number of baseball play-
ers in the crowd and they, of course, be-
came interested in ball playing. Two
teams were selected and a close game
followed. After the ball game a num-
ber hastened to the river and enjoyed
the evening bathing; others took to
mountain climbing, while some started
in other directions to seek new species
of floriculture.

At 5:30 p. m. the homeward-bound
train left Elkmont and sped along at a
faster pace than in the morning. The
fragments of the dinner served as a
luncheon for supper. At 8 p. m. the
train pulled in at Knoxville, bearing a
most pleasant-looking crowd. Every-
one felt that he was the one who had
the best time of the 100 who shared
in the day's joys.

Among the invited guests were Gun-
nar Teilmann and son, of Johnson City,
Tenn.; Mr. and Mrs. G. A. Kimmell
and Mr. and Mrs. W. F. Haeger, of
Chattanooga, Tenn.

Metropolitan greonhouto' built
for Mrs. J. Brotz on her eatato
at Dobbs Forry, N. Y.

This full iron frame, patented curved eave
Metropolitan greenhouse, 25x75 feet, is
divided into three compartments by two
gla.ss partitions, each compartment hav-
ing its own ventilation and heating sys-
tem. Connected to it, by means of an
8x8 propagating house, is the workroom,
with a boiler cellar beneath. All the
concrete work was done by us, also.

But it is not on the mere mechanics of
erection that we base our claims upon
your consideration.

It is rather on the quality of materials
used and the absolute dependability of
Metropolitan service—

MILWAUKEE.

The Market.

Business took a slump last week. The
weather was warm and we had sev-
eral bright, hot days. The stock in
general showed the effect of the heat,
and there were large quantities of poor
stock on the market that was almost
impossible to move at any price. In
carnations, however, good stock was
not plentiful and it was difficult to fill
orders satisfactorily. There still are
a few peonies in the market, but they
do not cut much of a figure at this
time. Sweet peas still are arriving in
large quantities, but their quality is
only medium and prices are low. Valley
was exceptionally fine last week, clean-
ing up easily, with no complaints to
follow.

The Club Picnic.

The annual picnic of the Milwaukee
Florists' Club was held Sunday, July 9,
at Keipper's park, Brown Deer, Wis.
The weather man smiled on us and quite
a crowd partook of the festivities. The
day was replete with sports and good
things. All agreed that it was well
worth giving over one day to be there.

Following is the list of the contests
and the winners, who were suitably re-
warded:

Baseball — Cudahy team; score, 11 to 4.

"Women's race — Meta Hasten, first; Lilian
Eanlsen, second.

Fat men's race — August Kellner, first; A.
Rendt, second.

Peanut race, for women — Buth Voelzke, first;
Ime Zawodny, second.

Sack race — Hugo Marks, first; Grover Kasch,
second.

Small girls' race — Pauline Ganger, first; Ruby
Kellner, second.

Potato race for women — Dora Grunerwald,
first: C. Bauemfelnd, second: C. Penny, third.

Ple-eating contest — H. Mecklenburg, first;
L. Komorowsky, second.

Boys' race — H. Berndt, first; M. Samuel, sec-
ond.

Men's race — C. Retzlaff, first; H. Marks, sec-
ond.

Girls' race — D. Hammes, first; C. Penny, sec-
ond.

Melon-eating contest — ^Brwin Halles, first;
■William Hartgo, second.

Guessing contest — ^A. Preuss, first; H. Baum-
garten, second.

Tug of war— The Holton & Hunkel team, C.
Rptzlaff, captain.

Three-legged race — C. Retzlaff and J. Semmel-
man, first.

Various Notes.

The Market.

Business is unusually quiet. The sup-
ply is large and heavier than market
needs require. Eoses continue in good
supply and, in addition to greenhouse
stock, excellent Maman Cochet roses
may be had. Easter lilies are almost
overplentiful, but they have only a
fair market. The cut of gladioli is
larger than it was. Carnations are in
fair supply. Snapdragon meets with
a limited demand. The first asters of
the season made their appearance last
week. Water lilies, sweet peas, coreop-
sis and cornflowers constitute sdme of
the miscellaneous stock. Greens are
plentiful.

Various Notes.

L. H. Kyrk was the first one in the
market to offer asters this summer.
They came in July 7 from William Tay-
lor's place, at Price Hill.

C. E. Critchell has been having a
heavy supply of lilies.

The E. G. Hill Floral Co. had a win-
dow last week depicting a bathing
beach.

W. Eay Murphy spent a week fishing
in the Whitewater, in Indiana.

C. H. H.

Valencia, Pa. — G. L. Curry & Sons,
whose main crop is bedding plants, have
had an unusually busy season. Al-
though it has come slowly, they are
building up a nice business in cut fiow-
ers and designs and look forward to a
steadily increasing trade in each line.

Syracuse, N. Y. — Russell Bros, have
contracted with the J. C. Moninger Co.,
of Chicago, for the erection of four
houses, each 21x150 feet. When the
additions are completed the Bussell
range will consist of eight houses.
Plants, shrubs and vegetables are the
principal products of the concern, which
recently was incorporated, the officers
being C. M. Bussell, president; E. H.
Bussell, vice-president; L. E. Bussell,
secretary-treasurer. Adolph Hammar-
strom, manager of the New York
branch of the J. C. Moninger Co., se-
cured the contract.

The FIcdsts' Review-

July 18, 1916.

CLEVELAND.

Tlie Market.

Valley and lilies remain scarce. Sweet
peas from outdoors now are fine, and
there'are many of them. Carnations are
near their end and choice roses are few.
The demand is exceptionally good for
this season of the year.

Various Notes.

The florists' picnic will take place
Thursday, July 20, at Willoughbeach
park. The committee is urging employ-
ers to close their places of business
Thursday afternoon, load up their
trucks with employees and their fam-
ilies and come out for the fun.

F. A. F.

The entertainment committee in
charge of next week's club picnic has
prepared a splendid list of races and
contests for the picnickers. In addi-
tion to the standard events, such as
baseball, broad jumps and foot races,
there are mirthful matches, such as sack
races, pie and watermelon-eating con-
tests, penny showers for boys, nail-driv-
ing contests for ladies, tug of war be-
tween growers, * * cock o ' the ring, ' ' etc.
There also are prizes for the handsom-
est boy and the prettiest girl. F. Rit-
zenthaler, W. E. Cook, Charles Graham
and Herbert Bate, the committeemen,
request everybody to come out and help
to make the day a big one.

LANCASTER, FA.

July 20 is the day announced for the
Lancaster County Florists' picnic. Mem-
bers should take Elizabethtown trolley
cars at Center Square, Lancaster, at
1:15 p. m.

As previously noted, the picnic will
be held on Avondale, the farm of Mr.
and Mrs. B. F. Barr, which, with its
well kept, shady lawns and meadows
along the historic Little Conestoga
creek, makes an ideal spot.

The committee has an elaborate pro-
gram arranged. There will be plenty
of amusements for all. You and your
friends are invited. The only stipula-
tion is that you bring a basket of lunch
for your pariy. H. K. R.

XISINOER'S UTTERANCES.

C. L. Schuster, of Girard, Pa., had a
good crop of tomatoes ready for the
market quite early. He finds business
in general to be good.

Foxgloves in assortments of many
colors made a striking and attractive
window display in the store of the Baur
Floral Co., at Erie, Pa.

High school commencement exercises
kept the Erie florists busy furnishing
quantities of the Hoosier Beauty rose,
which was the variety adopted by the
schools.

Wilson's Flower Shop, of Painesville,
O., is building three new greenhouses,
which will be finished before the sum-
mer is over.

Funeral work was heavy at the store
of Schmidt the Florist, of Johnstown,
Pa., when I called.

Plant sales this year have been the
largest of many years at the William
Schrader place, at Johnstown.

The new rose bowls, or bird baths,
which one hears so much about these
days, are rapidly becoming one of the
florists' staple articles for decorating.

Delaware Experiment Station
Builds Hitchings Greenhouse

EXPERIMENT STATIONS ARE EXACTING. Their
requirements are high.

The serious nature of the work; the great importance
of their results to the farmers and growers, demand above
all else, thoroughness, accuracy and practicalness.

To meet their greenhouse requirements, means meeting
exceptionally high standard demands.

Not demands for ornamental houses, but those of great-
est practicalness. Ones of longest endurance.

To be selected as the greenhouse builders for the Dela-
ware Agricultural College and Experiment Station, at
Newark, Delaware, tells to you its own convincing story
of convincement of the superiority of Hitchings constructed
houses.

If we can build satisfactorily for them, we surely can
for you.

SWEET PEA SOCIETY s^
^ ^VISITS BAR HARBOR

TlfiQ eighth annual convention of the American Sweet Pea Society, held
at the Maine resort July 15 and 16, leads to the decision to stay in the recog-
nized horticidtural centers hereafter. A small show, due to distance and
varying weather conditions, hut quality is excellent and outing enjoyable.

T IS difficult to select a
date in advance for sweet
peas, or, in fact, any other
outdoor summer-flowering
plants, which,, will suit
more than a fraction of
would-be exhibitors. This
was strikingly shown in
the exhibition of the
American Sweet Pea So-
ciety at Bar Harbor, Me., July 15 and
16. The dates selected were reasonably
late and would, it was felt, suit a large
proportion of New England growers.
That they would have done so in the
ciase of Bar Harbor especially was felt
certain, but the season has been an
abnormally late one and exhibits from
Bar Harbor, apart from the excellent
displays of the Mal-
V e r n Greenhouses
and Mount Desert
Nurseries, were
practically nil.

Lenox Leads.

The many private
gardeners made no
entries and but for
the large exhibits
of Edwin Jenkins
and S. W. Carlquist,
of Lenox, Mass.,
who carried quanti-
ties of superb flow-
ers 500 miles in
splendid shape,
there would have
been practically no
exhibition. All the
entries from New-
port, E. L, where
the society met last
year, had to be can-
celed, as a heavy
thunder storm, ac-
companied by hail
as well as torrential
rain, July 13, de-
stroyed practically
all the flowers the
Newport gardeners
had planned to ex-
hibit. Quite a num-
ber of good prizes
were uncompeted
for and the Bar
Harbor gardeners
lost a fine opportu-
nity of displaying
their skill. We were
told that a good
show could have
been had a mqfcth
later, but at tHSt

date it would have been a purely local
affair.

While the show was not a large one,
quality was high. New varieties were
to the froi)t more than ever. The
experiment of meeting at so remote a
spot as Bar Harbor for a national
show has proved that it is largely dis-
appointing and that hereafter the
larger, more get-at-able cities will be
favored.

The following varieties loomed up
strongly at Bar Harbor: Constance Hin-
ton. Fiery Cross, Eoyal Purple, Mrs.
Cuthbertson, Hercules, Blue Monarch,
Don Alvar, George Herbert, Scarlet
Emperor, Jean Ireland, Lady Evelyn
Eyre and Edna May Improved.

The exhibition was held in the Ca-
sino. The attend-
ance was good July
15, but not so good
July 16, in spite of
there being no ad-
mission charge.

Business Session,

The annual busi-
ness session of the
American Sweet
Pea Society was
scheduled for Satur-
day afternoon, July
15, but the time
proved so short that
it did not permit of
the meeting being
held and it there-
fore was put over
to July 16, when
there was a fine at-
tendance of enthu-
siastic sweet pea
men present.

President William
Gray, of Newport,
R. I., in his address
dwelt on the need
of giving greater
encouragement to
amateurs, of get-
ting out the sched-
ules early in the
year and of holding
the shows only in
recognized horticul-
tural centers, all of
which had strong
support among the
members.

A discussion arose
over the question of

The Florists* Review

Jolt 20, 1016.

York, and G. W. Kerr, of Doylestown,
Pa., were appointed an auditing com-
mittee to look into the financial stand-
ing of the society and its membership,
a report to be presented at a meeting
of the executive committee in New-
York in September.

The report of Secretary H. A. Bun-
yard was received without discussion
and ordered spread on the minutes, as
was the report of Prof. A. C. Beal on
the trial grounds of the society, at Cor-
nell University, Ithaca, N. Y. Prof.
Beal was not present.

The report of Treasurer Arthur T.
Boddington brought on a renewal of
the discussion of the society's financial
position. The need of funds to put
the society on a better financial footing
was apparent and C. H. Totty and J. H.
Stalford each offered $.50 for such a
fund. Later they offered to each raise
$250 and turn this amount over to the
new treasurer within thirty days. A
vigorous campaign for new members
also was planned.

Treasurer Boddington was not pres-
ent and later the secretary was in-
structed to write Mr. Boddington a let-
ter of thanks, expressing the members'
appreciation of his services as treas-
urer for so many years.

David Burpee, of Philadelphia, who
had been announced to lecture on "The
Future of the Sweet Pea and the Pos-
sibilities of Securing a Pure Yellow
Variety," found himself at the last
moment unable to make the trip, but
sent his paper, which appears in this
issue of The Review.

Election of Officers.

The election of officers was unani-
mous. J. H. Dick proposed that Vice-
president George W. Kerr be advanced
to the presidency and there was no
other nomination. On motion of H. A.
Bunyard, Edwin Jenkins, of Lenox,
Mass., was elected vice-president. On
motion of C. H. Totty, Harry A. Bun-
yard was reelected secretary. Also on
motion of C. H. Totty, William Sim, of
Cliftondale, Mass., was elected treas-
urer. W. A. Sperling, of New York,
and "William Gray, of Newport, were
elected to the two vacancies on the
executive committee.

Place of Meeting.

The selection of the place for the
annual meeting rests with the execu-
tive committee, but there was a lively
discussion of policy in this regard, par-
ticipated in by W. .T. Stewart, E. Jen-
kins. H. A. Bunyard, Wm. Sim, J. H.
Stalford and others. The feeling was
that hereafter shows should be held
only in recognized horticultural cen-
ters. It was pointed out that no city
or date would suit the needs of all
growers and some of the members fa-
vored holding a northern show, at Bos-
ton, and a southern one, in Philadelphia
or Washington, with the growers of
winter sweet peas given their chance
at the spring shows at New York.

On a vote being taken, Boston was
overwhelmingly favored for the place
of the 1917 annual meeting and exhibi-
tion.

It was voted to hold the next show
on the Saturday and Sunday next fol-
lowing the Fourth of .Tuly, which makes
the 1917 dates July 7 and 8.

It was voted that hereafter these
days be adhered to as closely as possi-
ble; also that no postponement of shows
be allowed.

Miscellaneous Exhibits.

E. & J. Farquhar & Co., Boston, were
represented by a fine display of Lilium
myriophyllum.

Mount Desert Nurseries decorated the
stage with beautiful groups of splen-
didly grown hardy herbaceous peren-
nials.

Entertainment Features.

The visitors were given a 35-mile
ride in automobiles July 15, around the
island of Mount Desert. The enchant-
ing mountain and ocean scenery, the
beautiful vegetation and the many
charming lawns, such as South West
Harbor, Seal Harbor and North East
Harbor, also Jordan's pond, with its
deep, pellucid waters, were all greatly
enjoyed.

At the Malvern hotel on the evening
of July 15, leading supporters of the
Bar Harbor Horticultural Society en-
tertained sixty of the visitors with a
splendid banquet. There were ad-
dresses by H. A. Bunyard, J. H. Dick,
S. W. Carlquist, J. H. Stalford and
Edwin Jenkins.

The Mount Desert Nurseries, Mal-
vern Greenhouses, North East Harbor
Nurseries and many of the leading pri-
vate estates were visited. Fine weather
was enjoyed throughout and the tem-
peratures were comfortable, making
the visits the more enjoyable. There
were also many individual auto trips to
view other spots of interest.

Those Present.
The attendance of those outside of
Bar Harbor was largely the Massachu-
setts party, with a few from the New
York district, who made the trip by
boat from Boston. Those whose pres-
ence was noted were:

SWEET PEA'S GOLDENQFUTURE

By DAVID BURPEE.

I "WAS not consulted in the selection
of the subject, but had the selection
been left entirely to me I must confess
I could not have chosen a more agree-
able one. I might have changed the
title, however, to read ' ' The Golden Fu-
ture of the Sweet Pea and the Impossi-
bility of Securing a Pure Yellow Va-
riety. ' '

It is impossible to secure a pure yel-
low variety so far as any accomplish-
ment is impossible until it has been ac-
complished. We all of us must neces-
sarily judge by what has gone before.
So, as a foundation for my prophecy of
the future, I shall first give a brief out-
line of the past progress of the sweet
pea.

In 1699 the first seed was sent from
Sicily to England and there, during the
following 200 years, the sweet pea went
through a slow stage of change and de-
velopment. The early improvements
were entirely in color variation. From
the original Lathyrus odoratus there
developed numerous varieties, but all
of these differed only in color. These
new colors were secured by mutation,
and then by cross-fertilization and a
blind selection of the following gen-
erations. This selection of the gen-
erations following a cross was blind be-
cause the principles of heredity were
not well understood until the rediscov-
ery of the Mendelian laws in 1900.

Later nature developed a variety of
Lathyrus odoratus that differed in
form. This mutation was carefully saved
and crossed back upon the older type,
until nearly all colors were gotten in
the hooded varieties, as well as in the
plain grandiflora type.

The Mutation That Gave Spencer.

After that progress was compara-
tively slow, until nature again made a
distinct mutation in the form of the
sweet pea. The Spencer type appeared
almost simultaneously in three places
and entirely unaided by man. Then, in
like manner, the different shades of
colors were secured in the waved type
by color mutation, crosses and selec-
tions.

The sweet pea now has reached the
point where it is the most popular an-
nual, and each year its popularity con-
tinues to grow. The early-flowering
Spencer type that just now is coming
into prominence undoubtedly will do
much to widen the field of the sweet
pea.

Your vice-president, George W. Kerr,
has done a great deal toward the im-

A paper read by David Burpee, of Philadelphia,
entitled "The Future of the Sweet Pea and the
Possibilities of Securing a I'ure Yellow Va-
riety," read before the American Sweet Pea
Society at the meeting at Bar Harbor, Me.,

provement of the early-flowering varie-
ties. For seven years he has worked at
our Fordhook Farms, until now he has
in, process of development upwards of
twenty distinct colors. All of these
were secured by crossing the thrifty
Australian varieties on the older late-
flowering Spencers. From both of the
parents they have inherited the hardy
habit of growth — the stamina to stand
even under a hot sun, and to thrive in
the open as well as under glass.

The Sotirces of a Pure Yellow.

Because of their earliness and strong
growth, these new Spencers are rapidly
becoming popular throughout the south-
ern states and in some localities I be-
lieve they will completely replace the
late-flowering varieties.

I believe all of you will agree with

David Burpee.

me that the sweet pea has a bright fu-
ture and that it will continue to de-
velop and to grow in popularity. Yes,
the future of the sweet pea is indeed
golden!

The possibility of securing a pure yel-
low variety, however, is a more diffi-
cult subject. I can merely tell you the
means through which a yellow variety
will come should it ever be secured.

In the past the improvement of sweet
peas— as, in fact, of all other plant life
— has been through only three channels,
namely, mutation, cross-fertilization and
continued selection of small fluctuating
variations. Permanent improvement,
through fluctuating variations has been

practically negligible. Through cross-
fertilization, however, there have been
obtained by far the greatest number of
color variations. But crossing the sweet
pea was possible only after nature had
given us the first mutant, for in the be-
ginning, of course, there was but one
color and a cross would have been im-
possible. It is to the mutations of na-
ture, therefore, that we must turn to
find a fundamental change in a new di-
rection. In other words, by cross-fer-
tilization we can secure only a combina-
tion of the characters which already
exist.

An Attempt by Hybridization.

Yellow is a primary color and cannot
be gotten by the combination of any
other colors. It seems unlikely, there-
fors, that we can ever secure a pure
yellow variety of sweet pea by the
crossing of existing colors. It may be
possible, of course, that some day we
will find a yellow as a mutation or a
"sport of nature," but this is entirely
a matter of chance and beyond the con-
trol of man.

There remains one other way,. hybridi-
zation, by which we might possibly get
a pure yellow sweet pea.

In the past the crossing of sweet peas
has been entirely within the species of
Lathyrus odoratus. In all there are
more than 100 species of lathyrus and
several of these bear flowers of a pure
yellow color. The apparent question,
then, is: Can we make a cross between
the sweet pea and any other lathyrus,
and with this as an entering wedge
finally get the yellow color of another
species on to Lathyrus odoratus?

This possibility naturally occurred to
me shortly after I started to work with
sweet peas, and in my enthusiasm I
tried to cross every legume that came
within my reach. In one case I even
attempted a cross between a sweet pea
and the yellow broom. Needless to say,
it failed — all my attempted crosses be-
tween species failed.

My failure had a sort of stimulating
effect — made me look deeper, made me
investigate to see what others had done.
And I really felt quite relieved to find
that no one else had been more success-
ful than myself. I was unable to find
anyone who had secured a hybrid be-
tween any two species of lathyrus.

An Auspicious Start.

Three years ago my father and I vis-
ited Mr. Bateson, of the John Innis
Horticultural Institute, at Wimbledon,
England, and he told me that he had
worked with ten or fifteen species of
lathyrus, but had been unsuccessful in
securing a hybrid, and, further, that he
did not know of a cross ever having

12

been made. I explained my tntention
of collecting the hundred or more
species and then trying every possible
combination of cross. His encourage-
ment was a great help i,n the starting of
my work.

From then on I collected all commer-
cial varieties and species of lathyrus,
mostly from European seed firms, and
then the wild species through the De-
partment of Seed and Plant Introduc-
tion at Washington. I continued this

collection and last summer at Fordhook
I had upwards of fifty distinct species.
It was my intention to complete the
collection and gradually to attempt
every possible cross upon the sweet pea.
I discontinued the work, however, be-
cause of my father's illness and I have
not taken it up again since his death
last winter. But I hope to continue my
hobby within the next few years, for
I know the work to be productive of
pleasure if of nothing else.

WHEN the American Sweet Pea So-
ciety was organized, the winter-
flowering sweet peas had already been
considerably developed, but their cul-
ture had not become general. The mar-
velous display of winter-flowering sweet
peas at the National Flower Show held
at Boston was a revelation to large
numbers of florists. Today, as a result
of this and of the work of the society,
the winter-flowering sweet peas have
taken their place among the leading
cut flower crops grown under glass. If
the actual returns were known, it is
quite probable that the value of this
flower would rank after roses and car-
nations. Not only is the value of the
crop large, but also the investment in
greenhouses specially constructed for
growing this crop, an investment that
represents a large sum and is annually
increasing.

The recital of these facts will indi-
cate the firm conviction of many flo-
rists that the winter-flowering sweet
peas have become established in the
tastes of the flower-buying public. Let
us hope that in turn the growers them-
selves will recognize their duty in sup-
porting the society, which has done
80 much by means of exhibitions and
otherwise to advance the interests of
this flower.

Evolution of Winter Peas.

As previously stated, many varieties
were known when the society was or-
ganized, but these now are giving way
to better forms. The varieties first
sent out were of the old, open form,
with notched standards. Then came
the hooded varieties and, finally, the
present varieties of waved form. More-
over, the first varieties were white, pink
and white, and maroon with bluish
wings, but today we have practically
all the best colors found in the garden
type. No doubt if the amateurs were
as much interested in this type we
should see every color known in the
garden type. In the short space of
twenty years the varieties of winter-
flowering sweet peas have passed
through all the stages of evolution that
took place in the garden varieties dur-
ing 200 years. Even the winter-flower-

ing Cupid is not a figment of the imagi-
nation, but a possibility, provided it
had any value at the present time.

The new waved varieties for winter
flowering are making a decided impres-
sion, and we think, after seeing Yar-
rawa, that there may be some further
revelations among the new Australian
varieties now being offered.

Tests of Yarrawa Varieties.

Last winter we resumed our tests with
the varieties of this type and grew
about seventy varieties. These repre-
sented some unnamed seedlings, new
introductions and the best of the older
varieties. Although seed was not re-
ceived until October and the seed was
sown in pots, the results were such as
may be expected by persons who use
sweet peas to follow chrysanthemums.
The greenhouse used was well adapted
for the tests, as it was thoroughly mod-
ern, forty feet wide, with high side
walls and without benches.

Eleven unnamed seedlings from A. C.
Zvolanek were a source of considerable
interest. Some have since been named.
Among them was Britannia, a large
waved flower with carmine standards
and Tyrian rose wings, the best red
variety we have ever seen in this type.
Heretofore red varieties have been dis-
tinctly inferior to those of other col-
ors, and this variety represents, there-
fore, a decided advance in this color.

Zvolanek 's Seedlings.

Mrs. Charles Zvolanek produces a
large, waved, lavender flower. Eidge-
way calls the color pale rose purple,
changing to a light mauvette. This
variety was one of the first to bloom
and was quite productive.

No. 110, light pink, was a beautiful
soft rose-pink. The flower was large
and waved. The color should be a
pleasing one to the flower buyers. Un-
fortunately, the plants this year were
not perfectly healthy, and some flowers
with side notches were seen. We hope
to test it again, as we were pleased with
its fine color. It is worthy of trial.

Servian Prince carries a large flower
with magenta standard and Rood's vio-
let wings. It is a conspicuous flower
when seen in the gr-eenhouse in mid-
winter. As it blooms among the first,
it is soon covered with many spikes of
flowers.

Miss P. Roland has a large flower.

with Venetian pink standards and rose-
pink wings.

Orange Orchid is a large, waved va-
riety of a vivid geranium pink color,,
and is one of the most striking vari-
eties that have been sent out. This va-
riety was a center of interest wherever
shown and probably will rank after
Christmas Pink and Christmas Pink
Orchid as the finest of Zvolanek 's va-
rieties.

Some of the other unnamed seedlings
are promising, and when some are fixed
they undoubtedly will be heard from.

• Yarrawa continues a giant-flowered
variety.

Outdoor Trials Reduced.

It seems difficult to trace the origin
and history of some of the varieties
recently introduced. We shall have to
ask for further time to investigate
these. We hope to continue the trial*
again this winter and we think that
sufficient material will be ready to war-
rant a new and revised bulletin on win-
ter-flowering sweet peas.

The outdoor trials were largely re-
duced in extent this year, as we have-
few samples from the dealers. Thi»
proved to be a blessing in disguise,
since our appropriations and financial
balances were so heavily cut this year.
We have had to reduce our labor on
the trial grounds more than one-half
and, consequently, we are not seeking
to extend our trials this year. No doubt
the next administration will favor more-
liberal maintenance appropriations. The-
cuts were not made because of any dis-
satisfaction, but the result of an at-
tempt to place all allowances under a
budget system. The legislature and the
people of New York may be depended
upon to remedy this matter when they
understand it. Consequently we are
looking forward to next year, when we
hope to resume all lines with renewed
energy.

The Public's Appreciation.

The interest of the people in flower*
is growing at a remarKable rate. This
summer we have 150 students registered
in floricultural courses at Cornell. Two-
thirds of these are regular college stu-
dents and the repiainder are summer-
school students. This is the largest
summer registration we have ever had,
and if the department of floriculture is-
to provide adequate instruction and
continue to grow and expand it will
need the support not only of the florist*
but also of the flower-loving public.
The experimental work should develop
simultaneously, so that we may increase
our knowledge of plants.

This year our garden varieties of
sweet peas will come into bloom about
July 25, with but few flowers before
August 1, and, consequently, no re-
port can be made at this time. Notes-
will be made as usual, so that we shall
have a record of these varieties for
publication later.

Cornell Latchstring Out.

In closing, permit me to say that the
latchstring is always out. We shall be
pleased to see any of the members
whenever they visit Ithaca. Whether
you need our help or not, we shall be
glad to have your criticism and helpfuV
advice. We wish to thank all those
who have assisted us in our work and!
we hope they may feel justified in con-
tinuing their support in the future.

Lupinus Folyphyllus.

Lupinus polyphyllus, the hardy lu-
pine, is a well known and popular border
plant, coming in blue, white and pink
colors, L. polyphyllus Moerheimi, with
soft pink flowers, somewhat more
■dwarf in habit than the type, is the
most recent addition to the list of hardy
lupines. All come easily from seed.
They are splendid for cutting and are
equally good for mass effects or to use
as individual plants in borders. The
lupines are often severely attacked by
aphis about the time the flowers start
to open, and a spraying of soap or nico-
tine should be given them on the first
appearance of this pest.

Pyxetliruins.

While the flowering season of the
ever-useful Pyrethrum roseum usually
is over by mid-June, if the plants are
<5ut back close to the ground they will
throw a second crop of flowers later
in the summer, in the same way as
the hardy larkspurs. Both the singles
and doubles are good for cutting. Only
a small proportion of the latter come
true from seed and once a batch of
good doubles are secured they should
be propagated by division of the roots
in late summer.

Do not overlook that valuable pyre-
thrum, sometimes called a chrysanthe-
mum, named P. uliginosum, a tall-grow-
ing variety with branched spikes of
pure white flowers not unlike the well
known field daisy. Chrysanthemum
maximum, in appearance. This variety
flowers in late summer and is splendid
for cutting. It requires dividing every
second year to have it in the best con-
dition. Seed of P. roseum sown now
will give good plants before fall.

Pentstemons.

When pentstemons are mentioned,
the average grower at once thinks of
P. hybridus, so much used for bedding
purposes in Europe and similarly used
on our northern Atlantic and Pacific
seaboards. While P. hybridus is a per-
ennial, it is somewhat tender and for
that reason propagation by means of
seeds or cuttings is annually resorted
to. P. hybridus, as it is grown at Bar
Harbor, Me., and other New England
points, also in British Columbia and
Washington, is magnificent, and the
wonder is that it is not more grown.
By the way, have any growers tried its
possibilities for forcing purposes?
There seems to be no good reason why
it would not succeed as well as the
antirrhinum and some other plants now
quite popular. Cuttings taken in late
summer should prove suitable for
benching, or seeds started in January
should produce a nice early summer
crop.

There are some splendid hardy pent-
etemons which make good border
plants. A few of the best are P. digi-
talis, with pure white flowers, the
throat dotted with violet; P. pubescens,
lavender; P. lajvigatus, rosy lilac; P.

eaeruleus, rich dark blue, a fine varie-
ty; P. diffusus, violet blue, and last,
the splendid P. barbatus Torreyi, with
tall, graceful spikes of rich scarlet
flowers produced right through the
summer. All these pentstemons are of
easy culture, can be raised from seed
and make excellent border plants.

Poppies.

Probably the brilliant oriental poppy,
Papaver orientale, is the best known
hardy poppy for the perennial garden.
The huge, rich, orange-scarlet flowers
are effective in early summST, coming
in season with the early pyrethrums,
peonies, German irises, polemoniums,
Hemerocallis flava, etc. There are a
number of colors of the oriental poppy.
Parkmanni is the deepest of the scar-
lets. Mrs. Perry is salmon rose and
Beauty of Livermore is blood-red, but

if a mixed packet of seed is sown the ,
probabilities are that quite a number
of shades will appear. This poppy is
propagated easily from seed and divi-
sions. Planting from divided plants
should be done in August and Septem-
ber for the best results.

The Iceland poppies, P. nudicaule,
produce charming and graceful flowers
in white, orange, yellow or scarlet col-
ors and can be used for table decora-
tions in the same way as the annual
Shirley poppies. They are useful in the
front of perennial borders and are also
splendid in the rock garden. Once
planted, they will seed and naturalize
themselves satisfactorily.

VINOAS FROM FIELD TO POT.

I have some small vincas in the field.
How shall I treat them so as to have
nice plants in 4-ineh pots next May?

A. I.— 0.

Keep the plants well cultivated and,
provided they are in good soil, they
should make nice plants for the size of
pots named before September. Stand
them along the edge of a bench occu-
pied by carnations or some other bench
crop, so that the shoots will have a
chance to hang down. C. W.

SEASONABLE SUGGESTIONS
FOR SOUTHERN FLORISTS

CAENATIONS IN THE SOUTH.

Preparing for Benching.

Despite the long drought immediately
after planting out, the carnation plants
in the south have made good progress
in the field, thanks to the frequent
showers during the last month. The
houses should be thoroughly cleaned
and the benches whitewashed and
ready for new soil. I find that the
cheapest method of putting the soil in
good shape for planting is to work in
the manure with the plow, and then cut
the compost fine with a disk harrow.
The soil is then ready to be hauled and
wheeled into the houses. It always is
well to have this done as long a time
as possible before planting, in order to
give the soil a complete drying out.

The benches may be watered the day
before planting begins. Where the
same soil is used for the second and
third year, see that the beds are spaded
and left in a rough state, in order to
thoroughly dry the soil for a few
weeks. This sweetens the soil wonder-
fully and is a great check to stem-rot.
I had some beds last year in which the
soil was being used for the second and
third year. There was less stem-rot on
these benches than on those in which
fresh soil was used. The plants grew
equally well and the flowers were a
shade better. I am not advising any-
one to try this method wholesale, but
I do suggest that, where the soil is of
a good, heavy texture, you might try a
bench as an experiment and note the
results.

Treatment on the Benches:
There is a noticeable difference be-

lllllllllllllllllllllll

tween northern and southern field-
grown plants. The northern-grown
plants have the best of it in appear-
ance, but when planted in the benches
the hard, wiry, southern-grown plants
have all the best of it. They require
little or no shade and hardly ever show
any signs of wilting, especially if they
have been dug during a dry spell, when
the growth is practically at a stand-
still.

It makes little difference whether or
not a plant is lifted with a ball, pro-
viding the quantity of roots is there.
The advice always is given to set the
plants shallow, but I honestly must
confess that I have not seen a particle
of difference between shallow and
moderately deep planting, so far as
preventing stem-rot is concerned. Shal-
low planting, I admit, has a small
advantage as a preventive of stem-rot,
but it is not nearly so important as
generally believed. The advocates of
shallow planting as a complete pre-
ventive of stem-rot either have none of
the fungus in their soil or else they
overlook several other equally im-
portant cultural points.

The plants need a thorough soaking
after being planted and thereafter
should be watered sufficiently to keep
them in a nice, moist condition. A good
spraying two or three times a day will
keep them in a fresh condition until the
roots become active. As much air as
possible should be given the plants day
and night. A close, moist atmosphere
in the houses immediately after plant-
ing and a little too much shade make
ideal conditions for the spread of stem-
rot. Therefore these conditions should
be guarded against. L.

WAR COULDN'T TOUCH HOUSTON.

The Mexican situation was called to
my attention so often on my short visit
to St. Louis and Kansas City that I take
this opportunity to answer some of the
questions regarding the war with Mex-
ico and the effect it would have on the
S. A. F. convention at Houston in
August.

First, there is no war, and I do not
expect any. Second, should there be a
war between the United States and
Mexico, bear in mind that the nearest
point in the war zone is nearly 400
miles away. At the worst, no hostile
Mexican army or bandits could come
400 yards into Texas before some Texas
ranger or U. S. soldier would name
him "Dennis."

Practically all the government troops
have been moved to the border and all
traffic is normal. There is no reason
why the great convention, the first ever
held in the south, should not be at-
tended by the largest delegation from
each state that was ever sent out to a
national florists' convention.

The Texas florists greet you; the
Houston florists will meet you and will
make your stay pleasant and one long
to be remembered.

We have sunshine in Texas and it gets
warm, but allow me to quote a Nebraska
soldier: "It is hot down here, but we
always have a breeze and, therefore,
do not perspire." Can you say more
of your summer? Enough said — come to
Texas, to Houston, and you will want
to come again. Otto Lang.

FORMALDEHYDE FOR SPOT.

Replying to the query in the last
issue of The Review regarding the use
of formaldehyde for black spot on
Beauties, I will state that I have used
it and found that it will eradicate spot
entirely if it is used correctly and
proper care is given the plants. I use
one tablespoonful of formaldehyde to
one gallon of water, spraying the plants
heavily once a week, using an air-tight
tank on account of evaporation while
applying. See that the plants have
plenty of moisture at the roots and
syringe not oftener than once a week.
Keep the plants in a growing condition
right along and the black spot will dis-
appear. Formaldehyde is the best fun-
gicide on the market today, barring
none. L. S. Hinei.

The Market.

In spite of the extremely hot weather
that has prevailed throughout Nebraska
during the last few weeks, business has
held up fairly well. Roses as well as
carnations continue plentiful, but the
quality is nothing to boast of. Outdoor
stock is in good supply and sells quite
satisfactorily. Gladioli are coming in
finely. The daily supply of these from
now on will be large. Carnations in
the field are promising, but a good

heavy rain is badly needed for all out-
door stock. The funeral work during
the last two weeks has been of great
benefit to those who have had a large
supply of stock on hand.

Various Notes.

Mise Margaret Meggeson left Sun-
day, July 9, for a four weeks' vaca-
tion in the mountains of Colorado.

Rudolph Timmler had a surprise a
few days ago when he received a pack-
age of seeds from Germany that he
had given up hopes of ever receiving.
They came over on the Deutschland.

The finest carnation plants to be seen
in the field are those of A. Donaghue.
The old stock in his benches is almost
as good as some plants in midseason.

The Omaha-Council Bluffs Florists'
Club held a meeting July 13. It was
decided to hold a picnic August 3 at
Lake Manawa, la. A resolution was
adopted that employers donate, by sub-
scription, enough funds to defray all ex-
penses and that they close all stores and
greenhouses at 12 o'clock. Heretofore
employees have paid their share, as well
as the employers, and the places of busi-
ness have remained open until late in
the afternoon.

News of the death of John Poehl-
mann, of the Poehlmann Bros Co., Chi-

The Stewart Seed Store has found
that its 17-acre tract of outdoor stock

is a sprinkler system, and the man-
agement is considering putting one in.

KANSAS CITY.

The Market.

The usual summer dullness prevails in
this market. There is an abundance of
stock of inferior quality. The wedding
season is over and the only business
now coming in is for funerals and hos-
pitals. Roses are plentiful and low in
price. Lilies are abundant, but move
slowly even at low prices. Good snap-
dragons and gladioli are not too plen-
tiful, but sufiicient to meet the de-
mands. The dry, hot weather we have
been hav'ing is hard on outdoor stock.

Varloxis Notes.

Walter R. Barnes, son of W. J.
Barnes, left with the Third National
Guard this week. He went over the
same ground his grandfather did in the
Mexican campaign of 1845. W. R.
Barnes is captain of Company F and
now is at Laredo, Tex.

T. J. Noll & Co. report that shipping
business was good last week. They
are handling a large quantity of
gypsophilas, lilies and gladioli.

Adolph Mohr has his new houses

completed and filled with chrysanthe-
mums and pot plants. He left the old
place July 15.

H. H, Coffee, bookkeeper for W. J.
Barnes, left for , a vacation in the
Ozark mountains, where he will visit
his parents.

W. L. Rock has finished planting car-
nations. The houses look fine. A nice
batch of snapdragons are growing out-
doors at this place. W. J. B.

NEW ORLEANS, LA.

Charles Eble and his daughter, Co-
rinne, are away for a month's trip,
visiting St. Louis, Clevelarfd, Buffalo
and New York, returning on the South-
ern Pacific steamer with a delegation
of New York fiorists for the convention
at Houston, August 15 to 18. Mr. Eble
has left his business in the care of his
sons, Bernard at the gardens and
Charles, Jr., at the store. The season
of 1915-16 business was excellent and
the Ebles are looking forward to a fine
autumn trade. Mr. Eble has renewed
his lease on his present location in the
Grunewald Hotel building and is taking
advantage of the summer months for
extensive improvements in the store.
Reports from the garden indicate a fine
crop of mums for fall and the large
stock of palms never looked better. Mr.
Eble has been successful with his spring
garden, disposing of all the flowers at
his store, especially forget-me-nots, on
which he has specialized and is using
them in many novel ways.

INTERNATIONAL FLOWER SHOW.

There was an enthusiastic meeting at
the Manhattan hotel Monday, July 10,
of the joint committee representing the
Horticultural Society of New York and
the New York Florists' Club. The or-
ganization of the committee was com-
pleted by the election of T. A. Have-
meyer as chairman; John Young, secre-
tary and business manager; Frederic R.
Newbold, treasurer.

The show will be held March 16 to
23, 1917, and the place will be the
Grand Central Palace, Lexington avenue
and Forty-sixth street, where all recent
large flower shows in New York have
been held.

Secretary Young was authorized to
proceed at once with the sale of trade
space and to make preparations for the
official souvenir program.

Charles H. Totty, F. R. Pierson, John
Canning, James Stuart, William H.
Duckham, George E. M. Stumpp, L. J.
Renter, Julius Roehrs and Fred L. At-
kins were appointed a committee to pre-
pare a preliminary schedule.

Many applications for space in the
trade section' already have been re-
ceived at the secretary's office and the
prospects are that there will not be
sufficient space in the plans as outlined
to satisfy all the demands. It may be
absolutely necessary to secure addi-
tional space on the third floor, the ar-
rangements at present calling for the
use of the main floor and mezzanine
floor only. John Young, Sec'y.

Andover, Mass. — Preparations are
under way for the annual exhibition of
flowers, fruits and vegetables to be held
under the auspices of the Andover Flo-
rists' and Gardeners' Club. The show
will be held in the town hall, Septem-
ber 8 and 9. Premium lists covering
all classes are ready.

NEW YOBE.

The Market.

Last week was holiday week in ear-
nest. Weddings and receptions at low
tide, a hot wave and big shipments of
all kinds of indoor and outdoor flowers
marked the dullest week of the year
to date.

The extreme heat left few roses sal-
able a few hours after their arrival.
There was hardly any retail demand
for anything until the week end. Thou-
sands of roses remained unsold at even
the cut rates of the closing offers.
From $2.50 per thousand up to $1 per
hundred may be given as the low and
high averages of prices on roses of all
grades, not including a few of the spe-
cialties.

Asters are here in ever-increasing
quantity, and soon will vie with gla-
dioli in overwhelming the market. The
latter already are too numerous. A
few peonies still are arriving from the
north. They are of splendid quality,
but the price for the best does not go
above 50 cents per dozen. Orchid ship-
ments are decreasing and there is but
a light demand. The best gigas do not
sell above 40 cents each.

Carnations still are abundant, but
their quality is depreciating. Few of
them sell above 50 cents per hundred
and thousands are cleared under $2 per
thousand. Valley is weak and lilies
abundant. Prices remain as low as
those of a week ago. Sweet peas are
hardly salable. The market is still
called upon to dispose of the usual host
of seasonable summer flowers, including
daisies, coreopsis, gaillardias, calendu-
las, etc.

Various Notes.

Those who went to Bar Harbor by
boat left July 13 in a deluge, but they
sailed into a delightful temperature —
a luxury after the days of torrid heat
that preceded the trip. Everyone who
attended the sweet pea convention re-
ports it a splendid success, while the
day in Boston and the all-water trip
were more than up to expectations.

Secretary Young already is at Hous-
ton and hopes that other eastern con-
ventionists will join the New Yorkers'
water trip from New York to Houston,
via New Orleans. He says the report
of 50 cents a shave and $2.50 per bath
at Houston is without foundation. A
goodly number from New York will at-
tend the convention and they hope to
land the next meeting for this city.

Mr. and Mrs. J. K. Allen left July 15
for a month's holiday at Asbury Park,
N. J.

Friend Meyer, of Kiedel & Meyer,
Inc., is enjoying a western trip, with
headquarters at Mount Clemens, Mich.,
near the bracing influence of the sul-
phur baths.

Mr. and Mrs. William Kessler are
summering in the mountains. The new
store has been thoroughly renovated.

A. Cova, of the New York Florists'
Supply Co., is a suburbanite and has
the prettiest garden at Bayside, L. I.

Joseph Fenrich will be in charge of
the Bowling Club's outing at Barnegat
bay, which begins July 27. If the man-
eating sharks get wind of the club's
fishing grounds they will find some de-
sirable titbits in the healthy members.

Jihn Miesem, John Donaldson and
C. W. Scott are a trio of expert fisher-
men and devote every Tuesday to the

sport, as their weekly and generous
contributions to many larders indicate.

Anton Schultheis and family are at
Asbury Park. Manager Van Reyper
and family will enjoy their holiday in
the mountains on the return of Mr.
Schultheis.

Grand stock of the new regale lily
may be seen daily in' the windows of
John Young & Co.

Walter R. Siebrecht, who has been ill
for several weeks, is reported to be
much improved.

Samuel Woodrow left by boat July 15
for his summer store at Narragansett
Pier.

H. E. Froment's receipts of roses
from Coddington continue daily to
average over fifty boxes, including a
dozen of the popular varieties.

The George W. Crawbuck Co. is more
than satisfied with its first six weeks'
experience. What to do for room in
September is a serious problem. Eugene
Keenan, formerly with the Greater New
York Florists' Association, is the latest
addition to the sales force.

All the florists who have seen the
Cards Japanese garden at the Ritz-
Carleton hotel are eager in their praise
of it. No one should fail to visit this
remarkable exhibition.

J. H. Small & Sons have completed
the painting and improvements in their
new store. Visiting florists will find
an examination of the store inspiring.

The retail associations of the New
York florists are unusually active. Ban-
quets follow the meetings and great
harmony prevails.

At a meeting of the joint committee
on the 1917 spring show, held at the
Hotel Manhattan just before Secretary
John Young started for Texas and the
S. A. F. convention, all arrangements
were reported progressing nicely, with
the enthusiasm engendered by this
year's success promising a still greater
one next time.

Miss Mahoney, bookkeeper for
Traendly & Schenck, is vacationing for
three weeks in the mountains.

Early closing daily and earlier on
Saturday now seems to be the rule in
the wholesale cut flower section.

The MacNiff Horticultural Co. is busy
with the retail section of its business
and with preparations for the opening
of its auction season early in Septem-
ber. J, Austin Shaw.

Prior to his departure for Texas,
John Young, secretary of the New
York Florists' Club, announced that
President Henry Weston has appointed
Walter F. Sheridan, Emil Schloss, J. A.
Fiesser, W. H. Siebrecht, Joseph Fen-
rich, Roman J. Irwin and Peter Duff
as a nominating committee to select
candidates for ofiice for 1917. This
committee is to make its report at the
November meeting of the club.

The transportation committee of the
New York Florists' Club has selected
the following route for those who in-
tend to attend the S. A. F. convention
in Houston: The S. S. Momus will leave
New York Wednesday, August 9, ar-
riving at New Orleans Monday, August
14, whence the journey to Houston by
train, the Sunset Limited, is only eleven
hours. The rate will be $80 to $83 for
the round trip from New York to Hou-
ston, which covers the trip by steamer
to New Orleans, train to Houston, then
all rail returning. Those who desire
may return by boat. This rate includes
berth and meals on steamer, but not on
trains. As this is evidently the route
favored by most of those who intend
to go, it is hoped that all members of
the New York Florists ' Club and friends
from the eastern section of the country
will travel in this party. The trans-
portation committee is composed of
Chas. H. Totty, chairman; John Young,
Wm. C. Rickards, Jr., and J. R. Lewis.
Reservations should be made at once.

Erfurt, Germany.— The old house of
J. C. Schmidt is maintaining its world-
wide connections during the war by
means of houses established in neutral
countries by former employees.

Enfield, England.— Iris Richard II,
for which Amos Perry received an R. H.
S. award of merit, should be noted by
those in quest of distinct new varieties.
It is a seedling of Black Prince, with
white standard and rich, velvety purple
falls.

Oudenbosch, Holland. — Such concerns
as the Union Nurseries, specializing in
deciduous trees for the American trade,
had a good 1916 season and look for-
ward to a still better one in the com-
ing year. Their principal diflaculties
concern labor and transportation.

Orleans, France.— E. Turbat & Co., of
this place, raised Ghiselaine de Feli-
gonde, awarded the prize of the Baga-
telle Gardens, Paris, for the best nov-
elty among climbers. They describe it
as "a true perpetual climbing multi-

Remy seed growers, of trading with
the enemy; they are characterized as
"men to whom money has no smell."

The Florists* Review

July 20, 1916.

BOCHESTEB, N. Y.

The Market.

Business activity varied last week,
Monday and Tuesday opened quite live-
ly, with a generous lot of funeral work,
but during the middle of the week
things appeared quite dead. There was
a revival, however, Saturday. While
business is not brisk, it is considered
by all to be satisfactory for the season.
The weather is summery in earnest and
stock has suffered thereby. Eoses are
hard to handle these days. They open
almost on arrival and are practically
unsalable. The stock is not at its best
and the pink and yellow varieties lack
color. Good, tight buds sell well. A
number of good Hadley and My Mary-
land roses are in the market. Carna-
tions are becoming quite inferior at
this period. They are soft and small
and are disposed of at low figures.

The demand for sweet peas is much
larger than the consignments. They
are shortening in stem. A few early
■dahlias are in the market. Gladioli ar-
rive daily and sell well, the favorite
being America. Valley is not overplen-
tiful but the demand is not at all large.
An abundance of rambler roses in pink
and red have sold nicely. Shasta
daisies move slowly. There is little de-
mand for coreopsis and gaillardias, but
belianthus and gypsophilas are being
used a great deal. Candytuft is plenti-
ful, as well as achillea. Out-of-town
asparagus is not at all good.
Various Notes.

S. Menke, of the Decorative Plant
Co., of New York, was in town last
week calling on the trade.

Mrs. M. McNeil, of Wilson's, motored
into Canada via Niagara falls last

The fund handed over to the Koch-
ester Free Dispensary and Children s
Hospital aggregated $3,396, being $900
in advance of last year's fund, which
was a record. Flower day in this city
evidently is becoming more popular.

Mr and Mrs. Mark Aitken and Mr.
and Mrs. Bowles, of Springfield, Mass.,
called on several friends in the city
last week on their return from Buffalo,
where they attended the Shriners' con-
vention. The party motored from
Springfield to Buffalo, making stops at
Eochester and at Syracuse on their re-
turn. ,

It is with sincere regret that one
hears of the serious illness of William
Logan, for many years connected with
the Crosman seed store, on East Mam
street. He has been ailing for a long
time and his condition is quite bad.
Fred Vick also is reported unwell.

A communication has been received
from Mrs. E. M. Fuller, of Washington,
D. C, asking that the Eochester Flo-
rists' Association at its next meeting
take action and vote on a national
flower. She asks if it should be the
mountain laurel.

James Bates, of Oakfield, N. T., was
in town last week buying stock from

several stores. ^ « , -i. j-„„

J. M. Keller was in Buffalo attending

the Shriners* convention during the

The Lady Florists' Auxiliary held
its annual picnic at Eastman Durand
park, Wednesday, July 12. A happy
and enjoyable time was spent by all.
There was a good attendance.

Frank McLuis, who has been renting

a store between Water and St. Paul
streets, has removed to his former stand,
renting part of the store and one win-
dow of the Unique Candy Store. Ex-
penses were high at the other place and
the amount of business did not demand
a big undertaking.

Charles E. Sharpe is spending his va-
cation at Sea Breeze, N. Y.

Miss Hattie B. Ellis is away on a
two weeks' vacation at the Dew Drop
Inn, Webster, N. Y.

H. E. Wilson had a dainty window
display for the week end. It consisted
of Dorothy Perkins ramblers nicely ar-
ranged in fern boxes, cut glass vases
and baskets. Pink mats were used on
the bottom of the window and gave a
fine effect. H. J. H.

PROVIDENCE, B. I.

The Market.

There is a dullness in the local mar-
ket usual at this period of the year
and many of the storekeepers and their
clerks are enjoying vacations. The
growers and greenhousemen, on the
other hand, are particularly busy over-
hauling houses and preparing for re-
benching. Some of the growers have
already begun benching. Funeral work
continues the feature of the local busi-
ness.

Various Notes.

The Empire Floral Co. has closed the
store until fall.

Mrs. P. F. Conley, of 48 Updike
street, has a house of fine Boston ferns.

Woodrow & Marketos, of New York,

have opened their summer branch store
at Narragansett Pier.

William E. Little, gardener for Henry
F. Lippitt, has been elected a member
of the Cumberland school committee.

The Budlong Eose Co., of Auburn, is
making heavy shipments to the New
York market, principally of Stanley and
Francis Scott Key roses.

Mrs. Charles Smith has gone to
Boston and vicinity for a few weeks'
stay with relatives.

The corner window of Macnair's, at
Broad and Chestnut streets, is attract-
ing much attention. The display rep-
resents a deeply wooded dell, with a
waterfall having a drop of/ seven feet
into a deep pool, which is surrounded
by ferns, foliage plants and moss.

Neil Ward has been reelected tree
warden of the town of Cumberland for
another year.

Olney Williams & Sons, of Hartford
avenue, are cutting thousands of fine
sweet peas for sale in this city and
Newport.

H. Liebson^ representing the New
England Florists* Supply Co.^ was in
the city recently. fc

K. Max, of San Francisco, aorother-
in-law of Joseph Koppelman and
Charles Smith, arrived here last week
for an indefinite stay.

Johnston Bros, report an exceptional-
ly good year to date, funeral and deco-
rative work having been especially
heavy.

Covington, O. — The season has been
an excellent one at the J. M. Petersime
establishment and several of the houses
will be rebuilt this season and the heat-
ing system overhauled to put it in up-
to-date condition.

Dayton, O. — P. D. Berry, on Brandt
pike, reached by rural route 3, has had
a successful peony season and plans to
enlarge his planting for next season.
Mr. Berry is a market gardener who be-
came interested in peonies because of
the demand for the blooms occasionally
shown in the market stall from which
he sold vegetables. The peony planta-
tion increased until now he has an
acre and sells 30,000 to 40,000 blooms
per year, mostly to Dayton florists, but
some are sold through wholesalers and
a few are retailed.

Cleveland, O. — E. A. Beeves believes
strongly that the city should not bite
the hand that feeds it. Wherefore his
threat recently of a court injunction
to prevent a welfare director from sell-
ing 1,200 dozen peonies grown at the
Warrensville infirmary. Four years
ago Mr. Beeves donated 2,000 roots for
planting at the inflrmary. The verbal
agreement was that no peonies should
be sold; they were to be used only for
beautifying the grounds. "Now they
plan to sell them, to compete with me, ' '
Mr. Eeeves said. "Fine idea — after my
setting the city up in business." The
welfare director promised to listen to
reasen.

Salem, O.— Elmer E. Stanley, for a
number of years representative of the
Ford Seed Co., of Eavenna, O., is erect-
ing a greenhouse here and will engage
in the florists' business.

Youngstown, O.— Although roses,
house plants and calcimining do not
mix well, that is no reason why W. D.
O'Connor, a painter and decorator,
should not make good in the florists'
business. At any rate, Mr. O'Connor
has erected a greenhouse as a starter,
and says he will add to his facilities as
rapidly as the business warrants it.

London, O. — Surely the spring season
of 1916 will be recorded in the books of
W. D. Thomas as the best ever. The
flower houses are practically devoid of
stock, which cleaned up rather too
closely, and tomatoes and cukes have
outdone themselves in size and luscious-
ness. There are eight groceries in
London and Mr. Thomas has furnished
six of them with his prize tomatoes,
some of which wholesaled at 25 cents
each! Says Mr. Thomas: "I grow
Bonny Best, Globe, June Bug and the
old-time, late, canning variety, Stone,
which is conceded to be the best out-
door canning tomato. I may seem a bit
conceited, but I feel that I have suffi-
cient reasons for being highly elated
over the hit I have made with my cus-
tomers. Some of the tomato clusters
had six ripe pieces at the same time
and three to five green ones."

BUFFALO.

The Market.

Summer busineBS conditions are with
UB again. Stock of all kinds is plenti-
ful, but the bulk of it is of inferior
quality. Beauties are fair in quality.
Ophelia and Mrs. Eussell are of better
quality than most other roses. There
are many good Killarneys, Francis
Scott Key and Hadley roses to be had.
Carnations have not fallen much since
last reported, the quantity being some-
what smaller. Easter lilies are abun-
dant and move slowly. Good sweet
peas clear regularly, although most of
them are short. Valley is more abun-
dant, but has little demand. Cattleyas
are suf&cient for all requirements.
Snapdragons still are on the market
and are of good quality. There are
some gladioli to be had.

Various Notes.

The Buffalo Florists' Club will hold
its annual picnic at the Automobile Club
grounds. Clearance, N. Y., July 26.

Miss Stroh, of Stroh 's Quality Flower
Shop, will spend her vacation at New
Haven, Conn., going via New York. She
will stop off at New York for several
days.

Florists from all parts of the United
States attended the Shriners' conven-
tion held here last week. It was a
pleasure to the Buffalo florists to meet
the visitors.

Miss Barry, bookkeeper at the branch
store of W. J. Palmer & Son, will start
her two weeks' vacation July 24. She
will spend most of the time at Angola
and Lancaster. Baymond House started
his vacation July 17. A. E.

cypripediums, was shown by the owner,
Charles Dickey Armstrong, of the east

end.

PITTSBUEGH.

Horticultural Society Meeting.

At the recent meeting of the Horti-
cultural Society of Western Pennsyl-
vania the members unanimously decid-
ed to suspend further sessions until
September, when more convenient head-
quarters than the Annex hotel. will be
chosen for the coming year. Vice-
president William Allen, superintend-
ent of the Homewood cemetery, pre-
sided in the absence of President David
Fraser.

Anthony A. Leach, superintendent of
the grounds and greenhouse of Green-
lawn, the east end estate of Henry J.
Heinz, was absent on a two weeks ' east-
ern business trip, necessitating the
omission of his scheduled paper on
"Roses," which was the subject of
the evening's program. However,
there was a general discussion on the
best growing methods of roses by the
majority of those present.

There was a fine display of hybrid
teas by Michael Curren, the head gar-
dener on Mrs. Elizabeth M. Home's
Sewickley Heights country place, as
well as by John Murphy, who has
charge of the farm of Henry Lee
Mason, Jr., also on the Heights. Mr.
Allen had a mixed collection of hybrid
perpetuajs. "Dahlias"- will be the
subject of the September meeting of
the society.

Secrettftj^ Thomas Edward Tyler won
two blue ribbons and a red and yellow
one each for orchids at the recent ses-
sion of the Garden Club of Allegheny
county. The exhibit, which included
cattleyas, oncidiums, dendrobiums and

Charles G. Ulmer, an employee of
the E. C. Ludwig Floral Co., is spend-
ing a two weeks' vacation at Conneaut
Lake, Pa.

Mr. and Mrs. William A. Clarke re-
turned last Saturday night, July 15,
from their trip to the Pacific coast and
the Knights Templar conclave at Los
Angeles, stopping en route to see their
children at the family cottage at Lake
Chautauqua, N. Y. Mrs. E. A. Wil-
liams, who accompanie'd Mr. and Mrs.
Clarke to the coast, came directly home
the preceding Thursday.

Gustav Ludwig returned Sunday
night from Chicago with his daughter,
Mrs. Victor Bergman. Mrs. Ludwig,
who accompanied him west, remained
for a several weeks' visit.

Visitors last week were H. E. Bates,
representing the Lord & Burnham Co.;
Milton Alexander, representing Lion &
Co., New York; Julius Dilloff, of
Schloss Bros., New York; Mr. Sperro,
of Charles Finn & Co., New York.

Miss Eleanor Craig, who for some
time has been . accountant for Miss
E. B. Maxwell, of Wilkinsburg, is quite
ill at the Homeopathic hospital.

G. Wessenauer, of Sewickley, has
been appointed forester of the borough
of Wilkinsburg.

James Murray McGrew, head sales-
man for G. P. Weaklen & Co., has re-

turned from a two- weeks' vacation
spent in Cleveland and in the surround-
ing country. Francis J. Smith, a sales-
man for the same concern, will leave
about August 1 for Philadelphia, to
which city his family recently moved
from New Brighton, Pa.

Under the supervision of Superintend-
ent George W. Burke, of the bureau
of parks, the city has had an attractive
little pleasure park made at the Point,
the section of land which juts out into
the water at the meeting of the Alle-
gheny and Monongahela rivers, form-
ing the Ohio. On each side of Point
bridge. Foreman John W. Jones, of
Schenley park, has laid out a circular
flower bed, one being forty and the
other fifteen feet in diameter. It is
further planned to have a road around
the bend by which motorists can drive
out to enjoy the picturesque scenery
down the Ohio valley.

Foreman Jones is justly proud of the
beautiful 500-yard avenue of ginkgo,
or maidenhair trees, fronting the
Phipps conservatory, which this sea-
son have reached proportions to afford
a delightful shade. Mr. Jones also has
some specially fine carpet beds this
summer. He never before has been so
handicapped for laborers, for, owing to
the unusual demand for workers, and
wages in proportion, in the various steel
and iron mills hereabouts, helpers of
years' standing have left to join the
forces for the output of war munitions.

A. Stoeckle, of Watertown, N. Y.,
fails to recall a season of planting as
extended as this one has been. He has
sold heavily and has barely enough left
for stock.

F, A, Bennett & Son, of Watertown,
are fortunate in having store helpers
who can assist in the houses during
planting time, although business in the
store has been on the jump all the time.

John T. Humphrey, of Gouverneur,
N. Y., is a scion of the good old Roman
firm of Humphrey, and has made good
during his sojourn of five years here.

Perrin Bros., of Potsdam, N. Y., also
are passing the fifth milestone. They
say business is equal to, if not beyond,
their capacity. More glass is on the
tapis.

Hay & Co., of Alexandria Bay, N. Y.,
believe the season would have been
phenomenal had it been warmer, as
many of his patrons were slow in de-
ciding on their cottage decorations.

The annual outing of the Albany
Florists' Club to Frederick Goldring's
farm at Slingerlands, N. Y., took place
June 6, and brought out almost the en-
tire membership and several visitors.
The usual good things were thoroughly
enjoyed. Practically every branch of
the profession was represented, and
many reminiscences were indulged in.

W. W. Hannell, of Watervliet, N. Y.,
has secured a 5-acre tract of land ad-
joining his place. It includes a pretty
ravine and a brook. The land will be
planted to^hjirdy bulbs hnd plants. His
stock of Erica melanthera is promising.

for Christmas trade. The extra de-
mand for blooming plants will necessi-
tate a reduction in the number of roses
and carnations. Chrysanthemums are
a strong item, and are quickly followed
by plant stocks. Mr. Hannell ex-
presses the fear that the Ophelia rose
will become cheapened, because of its
seeming adaptability to almost all con-
ditions and its easy culture. It is the
most profitable rose he has ever grown.
Hadley and Richmond also are favor-
ites.

J. G. Barrett, of Troy, N. Y., this
season noted the best call for window
boxes in his long experience. Few good
plants are left over and good orders
were being filled as late as July 8.

Sambrook Bros., also of Troy, report
similar conditions. Evidently the
Trojans are setting an excellent ex-
ample in window and porch decorations.

J. E. Sambrook & Co., of Berlin, N. Y.,
have their usual fine crop of gladioli
in view.

J. L. Watkins & Son, of Hudson Falls,
N. Y., report good sales of tuberous
begonias. These are doing finely thus
far and some brilliant effects are seen.
"We are making hay while the sun
shines," observed the senior member,
who was seated on a hayrake. The
younger member, who had just returned
from Cornell, where he is taking a
course in floriculture, was assisting iu^.
the operation.

A. J. Binley, of Glens Falls, N. Y.,
not long ago removed to a store more
centrally located. He notes a large in-
crease in sales. W. M.

The Florists^ Review

JVLT 20. 1910.

HOUSTON, TEX.

Eobert C. Kerr went to Dallas to
meet John Ypung, secretary of the So-
ciety of American Florists, and will
visit the north Texas florists before
the convention.

P. M. Carroll, manager for Kerr the
riorist for the last four years, has re-
signed and is going into the business
for himself. He will open a downtown
store about August 1.

C. H. Blecker has moved to his new
display and salesroom, two doors from
his old location. He is interested with
Mr. Kutschbach, who has several houses
all planted and looking fine. They have
a nice lot of outside flowers for funeral
work and short-stemmed cut flowers,
such as periwinkle, feverfew, snap-
dragons, tuberoses, lilies and the like.
He is going to build another house for
roses, which he has already planted in
ground beds.

The Oleander Florist, H. T. Neitsch,
proprietor, states business has dropped
off for the summer, except a little fu-
neral work. He has a fine fcs^tment
of begonias and is having good success
in growing them in this hot, blistering
weather. G. E. L.

FOBT WAYNE, IND.

Tbe Market.

Last week's weather was intensely
hot and business suffered considerably.
There was small demand for flowers out-
side of funeral work, though business
in that line was good. There is little
call for flowers for social affairs, except
for the Country Club. The florists,
however, are grateful for a brief respite
and are taking advantage of the lull in
business to brighten up their stores and
collect slow accounts.

Stock is sufficiently plentiful to meet
all demands. Golden Band lilies and
Easter lilies are used extensively for
funeral work. Boses are in large sup-
ply, but only of medium quality. Eus-
sell, Kaiserin, Ophelia, Sunburst, Ehea
Eheid and Ward are the best summer
varieties. Carnations are fast disap-
pearing, as many of the growers are
throwing out their plants. Gladioli are
becoming more plentiful. Mrs. Francis
King, America and Pink Beauty are the
best varieties on the market. Outdoor
sweet peas are exceedingly plentiful,
but are small, owing to the hot weather.
There are a few American Beauties on
the market, but the demand for them is
poor. Cattleyas are plentiful and the
prices are reasonable. A small supply
of greenhouse asters is arriving. Stocks,
Shasta daisies, cornflowers, coreopsis,
gaillardias, candytuft and snapdragons
are the principal outdoor flowers on the
market.

Several severe electrical storms oc-
curred last week, causing considerable
damage to outdoor crops.

Various Notes.

The Doswell Floral Co. has been busy
with funeral work lately. The firm
is closing the store at 5 o'clock during
July and August.

It is reported that Ed Hauswirth will
close his shop at 220 West Berry street
the last of this month and retire from
business. He came here from Chicago
in April and went into business just at
Easter, but he says there are too many
florists in this city and he will return
to Chicago, to his former position with
one of the wholesale houses there.

THE PEOGEAM for the thirty-second annual convention of the Society of
American. Florists, to be held at Houston, Tex., August 14 to 18, has been
planned along the lines in vogue prior to the meeting at San Francisco last
year: Three days are to be devoted to the business affairs of the society, with in-
tervals for recreation, but the whole of the fourth day is to be devoted to the
trades' exhibition, the Convention garden, bowling and an afternoon trip to Gal-
veston. The idea of the program makers has been to allow the visitors as much
time as possible for sight-seeing, appreciating that for many it will be the first trip
to the south. To this end the reading of essays has been omitted. There is, how-
ever, provision made for consideration of a thorough amendment to the 'by-laws, the
changes proposed having been printed in full in The Eeview for April 27. In
addition, notice is given that E. C. Kerr will propose an amendment authorizing
the board of directors to change the date of the convention in future years in cases
when the convention is held in sections of the United States where August is
not considered th6 best time.

The Hotel Eice will be convention headquarters. Eeservations may now be
made.

OBITUARY

Jolm PoehlmftTiTi.

John W. Poehlmann, president of the
Poehlmann Bros. Co., Chicago and
Morton Grove, 111., died at his home,
4728 Beacon street, the afternoon of
July 14. For several years Mr. Poehl-
mann's health had been failing. At
length his case was diagnosed as cancer
of the stomach and several months ago
an operation was advised by his physi-
cians, but it proved altogether ineffec-
tive. In spite of his condition, how-
ever, and due solely to his wonderful
constitution and his iron will, he was
soon visiting his office at the company's
Chicago store and betraying an active
interest in trade affairs. But his out-
worn body could not keep pace with his
indomitable energy and his infirmity
at last bore him down to his bed again.
After this the sands of life ran rapidly,
and for the ten days preceding his death
he was seldom conscious for more than
a few consecutive minutes.

John W. Poehlmann, who was one of
the leaders in making Chicago the cut
flower and plant growing center of the
country, was born in Milwaukee, Wis.,
June 21, 1867, the son of John George
Poehlmann and Caroline Haffermeister.
There he attended both the public
schools and the private German schools.
His business career is familiar to every-
one acquainted with trade history. In
company with his two brothers, August
F. a^d Adolph H., he started a green-
house business in Morton Grove, in
1890. Their combined cash capital was
$80. Today the corporation they after-
wards evolved has the largest invest-
ment in greenhouses and equipment in
the United States. In September, 1894,
he was married to Miss Fredrica Otten-
bacher. She died June 11, 1898, leaving
two children. Six years later, Novem-
ber 12, 1904, he was married to Miss
Emma E. Parker.

Mr. Poehlmann was a German Luth-
eran by early training, but the press of
business and a natural disposition to
be retiring deterred him from taking
any active part in the church life. It
was perhaps due to the same trait that
he never affiliated with any fraternal
order. He was a man of few words,
but possessed of a keen sense of humor,
and, because of his well known con-
servatism, his advice frequently was
sought by outsiders. He was unosten-
tatious, but did many a man a service
unasked and unknown. Altogether un-
obtrusive, there have been few mem-
bers of the trade with a wider circle
of friends, and none more highly es-
teemed for unswerving integrity and
loyalty to the interests of the trade.

He is survived by his widow, two
children, John G., 21 years old, and
Frieda, 20 years old; two sisters, Mrs.
Lena Eiemer, of Morton Grove, and
Mrs. Bertha Hoppe, of Milwaukee, Wis.,
and four brothers, August F., Adolph
H., George and Gustave.

The funeral was held from his late
residence, 4728 Beacon street, Sunday
afternoon,' July 16, with interment in
Graceland cemetery. The attendance,
which included most of the growers of
Chicago and vicinity, representatives
from practically every wholesale house
and many retailers, was so large that.

John Poehlmann.

not only the house and porches, but the
adjoining grounds were crowded.

The services both in the home and at
the grave were conducted by Pastor
Jahn, of St. Paul's Lutheran church.
The pallbearers were six Chicago flo-
rists: C. L. Washburn, E. F. Winterson,
A. Lange, Andrew Chronis, J. C.
Vaughan and Ed. Enders. The list of
honorary pallbearers given out includes

Amllng, ^ O. Nichols, H.

Asmns, George Olinger, E.

Barker, M. Pickett, J. E.

Bohannon, L. R. Randall, A. L.

Breltmeyer, Philip Relnberg, Peter

Howard, H. B. Wlenhoeber, B.

McNellly, J. H. Wlenhoeber, George

Mangel, John Wletor, N. J.

Mnlr, John Wlttbold, Lonla

The floral offerings were so numerous
that four auto trucks were insufficient
to carry them from home to grave.
There were pieces from the various
wholesale houses, as well as individual
and association offerings too many to
enumerate. The trade organizations to
which he belonged, the S. A. F., of
which he was a life member, and the
Chicago Florists' Club, manifested their
sense of loss by sending handsome
wreaths.

Harry F. Hammock.

Florists of Washington, D. C, last
week learned with regret of the death
of Harry F. Hammock, a familiar figure
for the last ten years at the J. R. Free-
man store on Thirteenth street, Wash-
ington. Mr. Hammock had been com-
plaining of stomach trouble for some
time and finally was forced to go home
from work because of illness. The next
day found him confined to his bed and
within ten days death had claimed him.

The attending physician gave heart
trouble as contributing to his death.
Those who were accustomed to visiting
the store will miss him, for he was al-
ways cheerful, despite a deformity that
had made him a cripple for life.

C. L. li.

William E. Dallwlg.

W. E. Dallwig, a pioneer seedsman of
Milwaukee, Wis., died July 13, at his
home, 785 Prospect avenue. He at-
tended to his seed business at 34
Juneau avenue until a short time be-
fore his death, although he was far
from well. C. Dallwig, who survives,
has the sympathy of his host of friends
in the trade.

BUSINESS EMBASRASSMENTS.

Chattanooga, Temi. — A voluntary pe-
tition in bankruptcy has been flle^ in
the federal court by D. W. Hunter, do-
ing business as the Chattanooga Nur-
sery Co. Secured claims are listed as
approximately $16,000 and unsecured
as $18,000. Total assets are estimated
at $21,000.

Fall River, Mass.— The estate of the
late George L. Freeman is represented
insolvent and commissioners have been
appointed to examine all claims of cred-
itors. The time for proving claims is
six months from June 16.

Wakefield, Kan.— Percy R. Walter
reports that outdoor stock, including
carnations in the field, is doing splen-
didly. The rain has been regular, but
not excessive. The spring's bedding
plant business exceeded last year's by
twenty-five per cent.

EESULTS.

We give them. You get them.

We both have them.

Though it is no news that The Eeview
does not undertake to answer anonymous
inquiries, perfectly good stamps continue
to be sacrificed sending them in.

We would laugh at the farmer who ex-

•pected to get milk from a cow without

feeding the animal, yet there are many

growers who have a fit over a fertilizer

bill.

Again this summer growers of Amer-
ican Beauty are having considerable trou-
ble with black spot. With decreasing
vitality the variety seems to be increas-
ingly susceptible to spot.

Greatly increased interest is manifested
by florists who grow for their own retail
business in hardy perennial flowers for
cutting. City retail stores are seen to be
using these to good advantage and the
smaller man in the country is quite gen-
erally following suit.

In England and the Channel Islands the
shortage of labor has resulted in a large
number of women taking the places for-
merly held by men, in greenhouses as in
other industries. The women are found
to make extremrty capable greenhouse
hands in winter, but to stand the summer
heat under glass less well than men.

The scarcity of merchandise, which in
many lines was pronounced in the early
part of the year, has lieen quite generally
: i overcome, but this is not the case with
' the grade of tissue paper used by florists.
Mills seldom will promise delivery under
six weeks and prices are nearly three
times what they were under normal condi-
tions.

Winners of Jubilee Medals.

The American Carnation Society's
silver jubilee medals were awarded to
each winner of a first premium in the
competitive carnation classes at the Na-
tional Flower Show at Philadelphia last
March.

Fifteen of these medals were award-
ed and have been distributed to the fol-
lowing:

S. J. Goddard. of Framingham, Mass.

The B. G. Hill Co., cf Richmond, Ind.

The Strafford Flower Farm, of Strafford, Pa.

The J. W. Mlnott Co., of Portland, Me.

REDUCED RATES TO HOUSTQN.

For the convention of the Society of
American Florists at Houston, Tex., the
railroads have granted greatly reduced
round-trip rates, as follows:

Chicago to Houston and return $46.65

St. Louis to Houston and return ,14.65

Kansas City to Houston and return 32.00

The Chicago party, occupying special
cars, will leave via the Wabash at 11:55
p. m., Sunday, August 13, and arrive
in St. Louis at 7:40 Monday morning.
The special cars will be attached to the
Iron Mountain Texas Limited, leaving
at 9 a. m., due at Houston, Tuesday,
August 15, at 2 p. m., in time for the
opening session.

YOUNG ORPET NOT GUILTY.

The friends of E. 0. Orpet, formerly
of Boston and now superintendent of
the McCormick estate at Lake Forest,
111., will be glad to learn that the jury
acquitted Will Orpet on the charge of
murdering Marion Lambert, daughter
of Frank Lambert, head gardener on
the neighboring Kuppenheimer estate.
The girl was found dead in the woods
and the chemist made it certlin that
she died of poisoning with potassium
cyanide. The state endeavored to prove
that the drug was administered by
Orpet, the defense that it was self-ad-
ministered. On each side it was sought
to show that the drug was readily ob-
tainable from the father's stock of
greenhouse fumigating materials, but
the defense proved that the accessible
fumigant was sodium cyanide, not po-
tassium cyanide. The case attracted
much attention, the Chicago daily pa-
pers devoting many pages to it. That
the prosecution had failed to impress
the jury was apparent before the close
of the trial and the quick verdict of not
guilty was not unexpected.

PRICES COMING DOWN.

Slowly but steadily commodity prices,
which have been adversely affecting
the special interests of florists, are
coming down. For instance, the sky-
rocketing of spelter (zinc) early in
the year has caused growers to pay
greatly advanced prices for wire stakes
and retailers to pay much more than
usual for galvanized cut flower storage
vases. But spelter recer^Jly has lost
"^ve-sevenths of the adrjnree. Cop-
per, steel, lead and other markets are

less strong and prices are falling. The
period of inevitable reaction from the
boom of the last year appears to have
set in. Munitions factories are com-
pleting their contracts and are reducing
their forces; demands of nearly every
nature are less insistent. That a rapid
decline is in prospect seems improbable,
but that general commodity prices have
passed the apex appears sure. On a
falling market the rule is to buy only
for present needs.

How the trade will be affected, in
the larger way, by a turn in general
business is not yet apparent. A reduc-
tion in commodity prices vfill be of di-
rect and immediate benefit, but a slow-
ing up in general business could not go
far without affecting the demand for
and prices of flowers.

THE QUICKEST WAY?

This is by Edward N. Hurley, vice-
chairman of the Federal Trade Commis-
sion, in an address to the Advertising
Clubs of the World:

"Gentlemen, is there any quicker
way to separate friends, or to force cus-
tomers- off your books, or to create
a break between business men, than
to send out cold, sarcastic letters!"

TROUBLES NEVER COME SINGLY.

Fire completely destroyed the build-
ing of the W. F. Kasting Co., 383 to
387 Ellicott street, Buffalo, on the morn-
ing of July 19. At nine o'clock tem-
porary quarters had been secured at 493
Washington street and business was
going on much as usual.

The Kasting company lost its presi-
dept by apoplexy only a month ago.

CHICAGO.

The Market.

The continuance of sultry weather has
resulted in a continuance of the market
' conditions that go with it. The market
is well filled with inferior stock that
can be moved only at a ridiculously low
figure, and even then some of it never
sees the retail store. But this is only
one side of the matter. There is a
fairly liberal supply of young stock
coming into the market and this sells
readily. So when all the circumstances
governing the market are taken into
consideration, there is no valid ground
for complaint, and in justice to the
trade it may be added that little com-
plaint is heard; the general report is
that the volume of business exceeds that
of a year ago.

New Beauties are coming in more
heavily and these sell promptly. Of
other roses, good stock is decidedly
scarce, but open stock, small stock and
stock that is palpably worthless is more
than abundant. As usual, but small
salesmanship is required to dispose of
the really first-class stock, but it re-
quires the greatest ingenuity of the
wholesalers to get the greater part of
the receipts out of the market. Ophelia
has lost its favor; it pops open under
the heat. Eussell is off color, but still
is the best seller. It is too hot for
red roses to be in request. *

He who can use little cftnJtions of
indifferent quality can find his oppor-
tunity in the -present market, particu-
larly if he is inclined to buy in quanti-
"ties. It was not to be expected that
valley would long continue to meet the

demand and it did not. It is now well
on the short side of the market, which
seems to be its normal position in Chi-
cago. Easter lilies are plentiful in the
extreme, but they are also almost sta-
tionary. The supply of cattleyas, though
no larger, is much easier as a result of
the decrease in demand.

Beally good sweet peas are noted for
their great scarcity, most of those re-
ceived being unqualifiedly poor. Daisies
are available in any quantity, including
excellent Shastas. Snapdragon, gla-
dioli, coreopsis, gaillardias, cornflowers,
candytuft and feverfew are plentiful,
but they are in a decidedly disadvan-
tageous position, as this has been a re-
markably good season for growing out-
door flowers and, as a result, garden
flowers on the market find little call.
To this rule, gypsophila may be an
exception, for it has enjoyed a fairly
steady call. A few early asters may be
found, and still fewer dahlias. The
good asters are perhaps the best prop-
erty in the market today.

There are plenty of greens of all
kinds to be had at a surprisingly low
figure.

Various Notes.

The change to real midsummer
weather that came in the middle of
last week, while it cut the average
price of flowers to the lowest in a year,
did a great deal for certain growers,
the ones who have been battling
against black spot in the houses of
Beauties and Mrs. Eussell especially.

George Hagen, father of Frank
Hagen, of the George Eeinberg city
store staff, and grandfather of Fred
Klingel, of Erne & Klingel, died quite
suddenly July 17. He was 78 years
of age, a pioneer carpenter in the Bow-
manville district, who helped build
some of the first greenhouses there.

Commenting on last week's business,
John Michelsen, of the E. C. Amling
Co., says it contained the smallest day 's
sales his house has made this year, but
that nevertheless the day's record was
$300 better than the same day last

July-

A most pleasant vacation plan has
been worked out by O. J. Friedman.
He spends a week with his family at

That the flower business in general

is the view of George Wienhoeber.

The Market.

Last week business was extremely
quiet. Funeral work was the principal
item of the little activity there was,
decorations having dropped oflf sudden-
ly. Outdoor stock of all kinds is com-
ing into this market in great abun-
dance. Gladioli, gaillardias, coreopsis,
delphiniums, campanulas, chrysanthe-
mums, etc., are of fine quality. Sweet
peas are constantly becoming better
and the market is flooded with them,
some of them moving at almost nothing.
Summer roses are good and the demand
readily takes care of the supply.

Various Notes.

Many growers of outdoor stock have
been troubled with the soft-shell borer.
Dahlias seem to be the plants chiefly
infested, although reports mention zin-
nias, hollyhocks and, in fact, nearly all
soft-wooded stock as being subjected to
the attack.

The West Side Floral Co. is remodel-
ing its store and reports a fine season.
The company placed on this market a
large supply of bedding stock and its
cut flowers have found a ready market.

Henry Puvogel is building a dwelling
on Chatsworth street, alongside his
greenhouses.

McCray Florists
Refrigerators

The McCRAY construction keeps flowers cool and fresh longer
than by any other system of refrigeration. It provides an even
temperature of the correct degree for cut flowers and stops the
great waste and profit loss that is caused by imperfect refrigeration.

The various compartments in a McCRAY are of differient
sizes to accommodate the different lengths of cut flower stems and
your flowers are given an inviting display.

For interior linings you have your choice of either handsome
bevel plate mirror or beautiful white enamel, which are very easy
to clean. The exterior may be of any finish desired to match the
interior of your store woodwork or other fixtures.

Invest in a McCRAY. Make it a partner in your business.
You will value it more highly than its mere intrinsic doUar-and-
cents value. Investigate anyway!

weather.

Beauties still are quite plentiful, with
the demand a little lighter than usual.
The quality remains good. Ophelia,
Sunburst, Bussell and Kaiserin are of
good quality and have been cleaned up
from time to time. Carnations are
about done for and are hardly worth
the trouble of caring for and bringing
them in. Gladioli are more plentiful,
with America much in evidence, and
they find a ready sale. Sweet peas are
about done for during this warm spell.
There still are some good snapdragons
to be seen, as well as Shasta daisies,
fancy mario;olds, etc. Lilies are more
plentiful at present and are used up
nicely in funeral work. J. M.

The Market.

The extreme heat has changed con-
ditions in the supply of cut flowers.
Carnations and sweet peas have suf-
fered most; these are not counted on to
the same extent in filling orders as in
the past. Koses, too, are less plentiful,
though the falling off in the supply is
only apparent at times. Gladioli are
still coming in from the south, with an
increase in the cut from near-by. As-
ters are slowly coming into the fore-
ground; their quality is only moderate
BO far. Easter lilies are exceedingly im-
portant at present; they are used in
numbers at fair prices. Greens sell un-
usually slowly. The outdoor flowers
continue in oversupply. Valley is quite
scarce, while orchids have taken a
turn toward greater abundance, with
lower prices.

Taking the market as a whole, flow-
ers are selling fairly well for the sea-
son, with the average price hardly up
to the usual standard.

All Baskets Look Alike

But you can't use the paper they are on— at least, not as a basket, g

Every basket made in the Neidinger factory is tested with the nat- g

ural flowers or plants, whichever the case may be, before they are g

made up as stock, to ascertain whether they are practical in every m

way for the purpose for which they are intended. Thi» insures M

you against getting a cut flower basket that will not hold cut g

flowers, a plant basket that you cannot plant in satisfactorily or a m

tumbler basket that will tumble over when fllled. In fact, any B

basket turned out by us has the guarantee of the Neidinger qual- g

ity, which is why we call them practical. g

An engagement of great interest in
florists' circles is that of Miss Camp-

grower, George E. Campbell, of Flour-
town, Pa., to Joseph S. Myers, son of
Prank P. Myers, Beauty specialist, of
Myers & Samtman, Wyndmoor, Pa.
Both young people have many friends
who extend hearty good wishes.

Robert Kift is at Bar Harbor, Me.

William J. Young, Jr., is bringing
gladioli from his Linfield farm to his

By the way, Mr. Young tells a story of

that he stops an express train at will

Business is exceedingly quiet; there
is hardly enough work in the stores to
keep the clerks busy. There is not the
usual oversupply, as stock from the
north is in an unsalable condition, the
flowers so fully opened as to be almost
worthless. American Beauty and other
roses are particularly hard hit, and
valley is in poor condition on arrival.
While this is annoying, it is serving
to keep down the surplus of stock so
usual at this time of the year.

Asters and dahlias have made their
appearance. They are not yet obtain-
able in sufficient quantities to consti-
tute a miipi/tce and therefore sell well
as novelties. Asters are somewhat be-
hind time this year, Thia Js due to the
continued rains of June and the cool
nights. Of the dahlias, Sylvia and

The Club Meeting.

The monthly meeting of the Florists'
Club of Washington, D. C, was devoted
largely to a discussion of plans for the
outing July 19 and to the forthcoming
convention at Houston, Tex.

The outing committee rendered an
interesting report, showing that the
members were to expect one of the most
enjoyable events in the history of the
club. A report was made on the partici-
pation of the florists in the prepared-
ness parade May 14. It was estimated
that there were more than 100 florists
in line.

In the convention discussion it was
stated that the Washington represen-
tatives probably will include William
F. Gude and Mrs. Qude, Adolph Gude,
Mr. and Mrs. C. Schellhorn and Theo-
dore Dietrich.

Samuel Everett was proposed for
membership.

Various Notes.

William F. Gude, J. Eichards, George
C. Shaffer and Edward S. Schmid partic-
ipated in the parade of the Elks at Bal-
timore last week. Mr. Gude is the
leader of the local lodge and as such
marched at the head of the Washington
contingent. In this line were members
of the House of Eepresentatives, the
Senate and the government depart-
ments.

George Field has disposed of his stock
of orchid plants to W. .7. & M. S. Vesey,
of Fort Wayne, Ind. Will J. Vesey, Jr.,
recently came here for that purpose
and arranged to have the stock shipped
to the Vesey houses by express. Three
cars will be required to transport them
from Washington to Fort Wayne. It
is the intention of Mr. Field to give up
his present business. Following the sale
of his orchids he announces the sale
of his property. Mr. Field is undecided
as to what he will do in the future, but
it is safe to say he will not remain
long out of the business.

Otto Bauer, manager of the local store
of the S..S. Pennock-Meehan Co., has
gone to Wildwood, N. J., for a two
weeks' vacation. He joins Mrs. Bauer
and their two children, who have been
at this popular seaside resort for sev-
eral weeks. Mr. Bauer is desirous of

Wildwood is famous, but does not feel

The Market.

The supply of stock has shortened
considerably. Everything .at all worth
■while is cleaned up by the demand,
which is weak but steady. Roses are
fairly plentiful, but the majority of
the oflferings are short-stemmed. Carna-
tions are shortening rapidly. Easter
lilies are plentiful. The cut of gladioli
is fairly large and includes some excel-
lent oflferings. Asters are becoming
more plentiful and water lilies, corn-
flowers and snapdragons are listed under
the miscellaneous heading.

The Market.

Business is brisk about the city for
this time of year. All florists report a,
great deal of funeral work and many
decorations for fetes. The weather has
been intensely warm all the week, and
the hot wave still is with us. Never
before has the city been so resplendent
with arrays of gorgeous flowers, in
window boxes, gardens and general
decorations about homes and places of
business. The gardens are particularly
fine, as Minneapolis people now take
much delight in work of this kind.

Roses now are arriving in fine shape.
Carnations are much in evidence, but
are not of the best quality, as the in-
tense heat is playing havoc with the
plants. Sweet peas are fine and abun-
dant. Many excellent displays of dai-
sies, coreopsis, gaillardias and gladioli
can be seen about the city.

Various Notes.

Miss H. B. Whitted left July 15 for
Chicago, to attend the funeral of John
W. Poehlmann, of Poehlmann Bros. Co.
The news of his death came as a great
shock to his many friends in the Twin
Cities. Business has been fine at Miss
Whitted 's stores and has included the
decorations for several large weddings.
The McLain wedding was a magnificent
affair and this firm did all the floral
work for it. The two Whitted stores
are elegant in style and equipment.
Splendid, large vases of antique ware,
mixed with fine receptacles of more
modern design, hold plants and flowers
of rare beauty and make the stores won-
derfully attractive.

Wm. F. Holmes is exceedingly busy
with design work. Many fine designs
are sent out of his store, all bearing
the marks of an artist 's skill. His win-
dow decorations also are artistic, and
last week the display consisted of fine
pottery, such as vases, fern dishes, etc.,
with lace ferns, delphiniums and other
garden flowers.

The Mazey Floral Co. is always busy
and has a high-class trade, attracted
by the large and excellent stock, the
artistic store and the courteous treat-
ment of customers. This firm also has
had several large wedding decorations.

The New York Florists have a fine
selection of plants and ferns. Funeral
work here is done in large quantities
and shows Jfine workmanship.

and Mrs. Swanson will miss them from
the trade, but Mrs. Swanson will still
be ideiitified with the business for
some months to come. The business
will be taken over by John Nyloff, C. H.
Janssen and Henry Johnson, who will
incorporate under the old and familiar
name of Swanson 's. Mr. Nyloflf is presi-
dent of the St. Paul Florists' Club and
has for many years been identified with
the firm of Holm & Olson. Mr. Janssen
also comes from Holm & Olson's, where
he had charge of the credit department.
Mr. Johnson is not an entire stranger
in the city, having lived in Minneapolis
for a number of years, recently coming
from Chicago. Improvements will be
made in the store and the new firm is
looking forward to a successful career.

November Show Is Planned.

At the last meeting of the Florists'
Club a report was read by the flower
show committee in which "it was stated
that the executive committee of the
flower show, composed of members of
the Ohio Horticultural Society, the
Cleveland Garden Club and the Florists'
Club, had reported favorably on the
holding of a small local show November
10 to 12, in connection with the com-
petition for the Corrigan cup. The Cor-
rigan cup, it will be remembered, was
first put up at the Cleveland show last
year. The class reads as follows:

Open to private gardeners of Ohio. Thirtv-
81X blooms of chrysanthemtims, six varieties,
six blooms of each, to be staged in two vases.

The Market.

Extreme midsummer dullness now
reigns in the flower markets. Arrivals
have fallen off heavily. Many growers
now are sending nothing in, as they are
busy pulling out crops and replanting.
The demand is quite feeble and so far
shipping business is not robust. There
still is a good supply of roses and they
are by far the best selling flowers on
the market. The quality remains good,
considering the recent torrid weather
we have experienced. Prices vary from
50 cents to $8 per hundred for hybrid
teas. Varieties now selling well are

American Beauties meet with a fair
sale, the best realizing $20 to $25 per
hundred. Carnations are coming in
greatly reduced numbers and move
sluggishly at 50 cents to $1 per hun-
dred. The demand for valley is poor.
Sweet peas of good quality are quite
scarce. Indoor crops are over and fre-
quent thunder storms have seriously
damaged outdoor crops.

Gypsophila, candytuft and bachelor's
buttons, with sweet sultans, fdrm the
leading outdoor flowers. Gladioli sell
slowly; so do lilies. Gardenias are in
fair supply, but there is no great de-
mand for either these or cattleyas.
There is little call for asparagus and
adiantum.

The Show at Horticultural HalL

Japanese irises were the feature at
the exhibition in Horticultural hall
July 15. Allen J. Jenkins, of Shrews-
bury, put up an extensive collection,
which secured first prize. A smaller
collection came from Dr. Harris Ken-
nedy. The Eastern Nurseries had a
fine table of hardy herbaceous peren-
nials; also an excellent collection of
shrubby spiraeas, the bulk being pink-
colored. E. & J. Farquhar & Co. had
a group, covering over 600 square feet,
of the fine new Chinese lily, myriophyl-
lum, or regale, as it is now being called.
Small fruits were well shown.

Boston to Bar Harbor.

Boston and vicinity was well repre-
sented at the Bar Harbor sweet pea
show. The superior attractions of Bar
Harbor as a beautiful watering place
acted as a magnet. Some visitors left
July 13 and a few did not go until July
15, but the greater number were at-
tached to the party organized by the
Gardeners' and Florists' Club and sailed
on a steamer that left Boston at 6 p. m.,
July 14, and arrived at Bar Harbor at
noon the following day.

Included in the party making the de-
lightful all-water route were: Mr. and

were clear and the weather conditions
as near perfect as possible.

Various Notes.

William Nicholson, of Framingham, is
coming rapidly to the fore as a golf
player. July 7 he won two open golf
tournaments, including a sweepstake,
over a large field of players on the
grounds of the Framingham Country
Club. ^

The Welch Bros. Co. has been re-
ceiving some large shipments of the
new Lilium myriophyllum and has
made shipments as far as Chicago. Gla-
dioli, Beauties and valley are all good
and shipping business remains satisfac-
tory. The Welch Bros. Co. will vacate
its present quarters during the present
summer and move nearer the center of
the wholesale market district before
October 1.

Norris F. Comley says his business
this year has been at least double that

of 1915. At present he is picking heav-
ily of tomatoes. He has nine houses of
this crop and prices are good. He has
finished planting 100,000 chrysanthe-
mums, but will not house carnations for
several weeks yet. A new Dean pump
recently installed is giving much satis-
faction.

The Budlong Rose Co. finds Double
White Killarney a rapid selling rose at
this season, their full shipments being
cleaned up within an hour each day.
Ophelia, Francis Scott Key, Mila.dy and
the deep Sunburst sport are fine at
present.

A show promoted by leading spirits
in the Massachusetts Horticultural So-
ciety is being planned for June, 1917,
to be held on a vacant lot near the Bos-
ton Museum of Fine Arts. A guarantee
fund of over $7,000 has already been
secured. It is understood that there
will be no competitive classes and that
no money or other awards whatever will
be made. Impressive exhibits of rho-
dodendrons, azaleas, rock gardens, etc.,
are promised, as well as splendid music.
This will prove an interesting experi-
ment. Hitherto summer shows, no mat-
ter where held, have been disappoint-
ing. It remains to be seen whether Bos-
ton can prove an exception to this rule.

Members of the Horticultural Club of
Boston, accompanied by guests, visited
Roslindale July 12 to view the wonder-
ful display of Lilium myriophyllum, or

regale, covering several acres of ground
in the nurseries of E. & J. Farquhar &
Co. There were hundreds of thousands
of flowers open, some spikes carrying
fifteen to twenty-five flowers each.
iLater the party were taken to the Ded-
ham nurseries of the concern and were
shown immense quantities of Chinese
and other plant novelties growing and
being propagated. Although it was
the hottest day of the summer — 95 de-
grees in the shade — everyone enjoyed
the outing thoroughly; also an excellent
lunch, furnished by J. K. M. L. Far-
quhar.

Arrangements are practically com-
pleted for the annual picnic of the
Gardeners' and Florists' Club, to be
held at Cunningham park. East Milton,
July 27. Contributions toward the
prizes and other expenses have come in
most liberally and an attractive list of
athletic events has been arranged. A
soccer game to last twenty minutes will
be one of the new events.

William H. Elliott is getting a supe-
rior cut of Beauty roses from his Brigh-
ton establishment. Double "White Kil-
larney, Kaiserin, Miller and Hadley are
good.

F. H. Houghton, of the Houghton-
Kravatz Co., Melrose, reports June busi-
ness excellent, but July finds trade
down to the usual low ebb.

J. M. Cohen, of the Cooperative
Flower Market, has been busy passing
cigars. It is a 12-pound boy this time.

Nathan S. Wax, father of Martin and
Samuel Wax, celebrated his eighty-fifth
birthday last week. He and Mrs. Wax
are both quite hearty. More than 200
friends called to extend congratulations
and the worthy couple received some

nice presents. Mr. Wax is the oldest
living florist in this- section.

The fatalities to a number of bathers
from man-eating sharks of late recall
the fact that one of our local florists,
J. W. Howard, of Somerville, and his
son, landed a 300-pound shark at Ma-
nomet beach, Mass., September 1, 1911,
after a hard two hours' tussle.

Thomas Boland still is picking a ton
of tomatoes daily from one of his big
Revere houses. He is sending in thou-
sands of roses of good quality. He has
not replanted any of his roses this sea-
son, largely because of the severe local
labor shortage.

James L. Miller, of Lynn, with George
Gordon, of Beverly Cove, made the
trip to the Bar Harbor sweet pea show
in Mr. Miller's motor boat.

William Sim threw his grounds open
to the public July 13, to afford an op-
portunity to inspect his extensive dis-
play of beautirully flowered rambler
roses. He advertised the fact in local
papers and hundreds came to see the
display.

Patten & Co., of Tewksbury, are pull-
ing down one or two old houses and re-
placing them with a more modern
structure. Their carnations in the field
look well and are being housed as rap-
idly as possible.

Joseph S. Spey, the courteous and
popular janitor at Horticultural hall,
celebrated the twenty-fifth anniversary
of his wedding July 12. Every caller
at Horticultural hall has a good word
for Mr. Spey, who is always genial and
most obliging.

John A. Nelson, of Framingham,
started planting one of his carnation
houses with Matchless July 18. All his
young stock is in excellent condition.

F. J, Dolansky, of Lynn, is sending
in some good Eenanthera Imshootiana,
Dendrobium formosum giganteum, mil-
tonias and cattleyas. Of gardenias he
now has a good summer cut.

A duck farm in one of Penn's Tre-
mont street windows proves a potent
attraction these hot days, to judge by
the crowds constantly gathered about
the window. W. N. Craig.

AKEBIOAN SEED TBADE ASSOOIATIOV.
President, Klrby B. "White, Detroit, Mich.;
Becretary-TreftBurer, 0. E. Kendel, Cleveland, O.

Carx, Brandt, of Sabin, N. D., for
eight years has been in the business of
growing and shipping Eed Eiver Valley
seed potatoes.

On the Bermudian, which arrived at
New York July 13, from Hamilton, there
were only eight cases of bulbs, where a
considerable shipment had been expected.

Howard M. Earl, commenting on
early closing during the summer months,
says: "It might be of interest to you
to know that W. Atlee Burpee & Co. are
following the plan of last year and at
our Philadelphia oflBce we will be closed
all day Saturday during July and Au-
gust. ' '

It seems apparent that, while the
shortage of French bulbs may be exag-
gerated, as such things usually are, many
orders will not be filled. The man who
placed his requirements at low prices with
some Holland house that thus secured his
order for Dutch bulbs is lucky if he gets
his French order filled even in part. He
will get his Dutch stock all right; there's
plenty of that.

A LETTER FROM OLLIOULES.

In The Review I have always fol-
lowed your reports from France and it
might be of interest to know the situa-
tion here, as we are now able to see
it after the bulbs are lifted.

The crop is bad, on account of the
dry weather, and it is quite, certain
that a large percentage of the orders
will not be filled. Several exporters
have notified their customers that they
are forced to reduce the orders by at
least twenty-five per cent and, in order
to obtain even a reduced quantity, bulbs
are purchased from twelve centimeters
and up, which is below the size pur-
chased other years. Prices have gone
up considerably and many who have
postponed ordering will be unable to
obtain the bulbs.

Especially the crop of Roman hy-
acinths is bad and other bulbs, such
as Grand Soleil d'Or, Trumpet Major,
etc., are not to be had any more.

There is a shortage of labor and many
bulbs which were not lifted last season
are unfit for sale, which most likely
will make the situation for 1917 even
more grave than at present.

"EUREKA" CLOVER.

Under the name "Eureka" clover
there is being advertised a forage plant
for which enormous yields of green fod-
der are asserted. According to the U.
S. Department of Agriculture, the plant
in question is sachaline (Polygonum
sachalinense), introduced into the United
States in 1883 and much exploited in
1893 and for a few years thereafter.

We offer seed of a strain of Mignonette which we have reselected
for many years. Read the foUowmg letters and judge for yourself
if it is not worth while to buy the best seed obtainable:

FROM WH

M T^ • J T e ** r. , XT TT Rochester, N. Y.. Feb. 4. 1916.
Mr. David J. Scott. Corfu. N. Y.

Dear Sir: The Mignonette that you have been shipping us is
the best that is coming to this market, and we hav6 been able to
sell this in preference to other shipments, and maintaining a
higher price. I think you have an exceedingly fine strain— in
fact, the very best one that I have ever seen.

Very truly yours.

Geo. B. Hart.

Mr. David J. Scott. Corfu. N. Y.

Dear Sir : We received the Mignonette this a. m. and would
say the shipment was sold out as soon as it was laid out on the
sales table. The Quality certainly was excellent; no finer has
been received in this market in some time, and as the time is near-
ing the holidays we hope to be able to receive and handle all you
can ship. We will warrant that the returns will prove satisfactory.
Yours very truly, Wm. F, Kasting Co.

The Florists' Review

JDLT 20, 1916.

=a

Sachaline is a native of the island
of Saghalien, whence it obtains its com-
mon namOj and from where it was first
described in 1859. The plant is a hardy
herbaceous perennial and spreads by
stout creeping rootstocks. The stems of
well grown plants become six to fifteen
feet high and bear numerous large,
heart-shaped leaves. The flowers are
small, greenish white and form in small
clusters in the axis of the leaves. Seeds
are produced rather sparingly.

Sachaline was cultivated as an orna-
mental for some years in Europe before
M. Doumet-Adamson in France called
attention to its value as forage. As the
plant was said to be easily propagated
and vigorous in growth, this resulted
in its enthusiastic booming. It was
even extolled as a crop for arid regions,
though it is native to a cool, moist cli-
mate. In the years immediately follow-
ing the plant was much advertised in
the United States.

Tests of the plant were made about
this time by the Department of Agri-
culture and by many experiment sta-
tions. Most of the reports are adverse,
the plant not thriving well under the
conditions tested, but partially favor-
able results were secured in Florida,
Iowa, North Carolina and Massachu-
setts.

In spite of its vigorous exploitation
by interested parties, it is significant
that sachaline has never secured any
definite agricultural status in this coun-
try. Occasionally splendid specimens
are found in gardens, which seem to
indicate that great yields under field
conditions might be obtained, but such
hopes thus far have not been realized.

CONDITION OF OANNERS' CROPS.

The U. S. Bureau of Crop Estimates
has received, from a special list of can-
ners, reports relating to the condition
July 1 of truck crops grown for can-
ning purposes. Correspondents were
requested to estimate the condition on
the basis of 100, representing a normal
condition. The results of the tabula-

The Rorists' Review

JULr 20, 1916.

MIchell's Winter-flowering
Spencer Sweet Peas

ST. LOUIS.

The Market.

Trade was quiet last week, but there
was not sufficient fancy stock for even
80 small a demand. In retail circles it
was a dull week and the only work was
for funerals. The weather, too, was hot
and stock was in poor condition. Espe-
cially was this true of roses. Eussells
were among the best that arrived. Car-
nations are becoming extremely poor in
quality, especially home-grown stock.
The supply of gladioli was the fea-
ture of the market last week. The
stock was extra good and plenti-
ful. Wholesalers found it difficult to
dispose of the large quantity. Asters, as
yet, do not make much of a showing,
but will soon arrive in large quantities.
Easter lilies are the mainstay of the
market when white flowers are needed.
The demand for valley and orchids has
fallen away and the light supply seems
abundant for present needs. Sweet peas
are few these hot days, but outdoor
peas will soon be a factor in this mar-
ket. A lot of common outdoor flowers
are arriving daily and meet with a poor
demand. Prices are low in all grades.
Green goods are in excellent demand.

Club Meeting.

The St. Louis Florists' Club held an-
other of its delightful outdoor meetings
July 1^, ai the establishment of the
Bourdet Floral Co., Magnolia and Tower
Grove avenues. It was largely attended.
President Bourdet called the meeting to
order, with all officers present.

After the usual preliminaries, Chair-
man Ohlweiler, of the trustees, an-

Burpee's

Sweet

Peas

Tarly Winter-flowering
Spencers

After seven years of patient work
at Fordhook Farms, supplemented
by careful irials at our Floradale
Farms, it is our pleasure to offer
to Commercial Growers, Burpee's
New Early or Winter Flowering
Spencers, which we feel will give
entire satisfaction.

THE HOUSE OF BURPEE has
been long recognized as "American
Headquarters for Sweet Peas," and
the introduction of these Winter-
flowering Spencers marks an era in
commercial Sweet Pea growing.

The novelties offered below, with

the exception of "Yarrawa," are

the results of crosses made at our

Fordhook Farms during the past

seven seasons, and all stocks are grown at our Floradale Farm, "The

California Home of Sweet Peas."

Fprdhook Pink and White:— A color that is always in demand, similar to
the old Blanche Ferry. Bright rosy-pink standard, wings almost pure
white. The large flowers measure two and one-half inches in diameter and
are perfect in form. A very early, free and continuous bloomer. Awarded
Certificates of Merit at the Spring Show of the Pennsylvania Horticultural
Society, Philadelphia, March, 1915, and the American Sweet Pea Society,
San Francisco, June, 1916. ^ oz., $1.26; ^, oz., $2.00; oz., $3.50.

Fordhook Pink:— This is a distinct shade of pink suffused with lavender
throughout. Flowers are large size, exquisitely waved, produced in threes
and fours on long stems.
^ lb., $6.25; lb.. $12.50.

I4 oz., 40c; I3 oz., 75c; oz., $1.26; ^4 lb., $3.50;

YA RR AWA

From a
Fordhook Photograph.

Fordhook Rose:— Introduced by us in 1915. Flowers of largest size usually borne in threes and fours. A charming
shade of rosy-carmine. Awarded a Certificate of Merit at the International Show in New York, March, 1916, and
the Spring Show of the Pennsylvania Horticultural Society, Philadelphia, March, 1915. ^4 oz., 50c; I3 oz., 86c;
oz., $1.60; H lb., $4.00; ^2 lb., $7.60; lb., $15.00.

Yarrawa:— This magnificent Australian variety has proved its unusual merit with commercial growers in all parts
of the country. It has an exceptional reputation as a "sure money-maker." First exhibited by us at the great
International Show in New York, March, 1914, and awarded a Certificate of Merit by the Pennsylvania Horti-
cultural Society, March, 1915. Flowers exquisitely waved, averaging two and one-half inches in diameter, many
of them being duplex or double. A bright rose-pink, with a clear creamy base. ^4 oz., 35c; ^ oz., 60c; oz., $1.00-
I4 lb., $2.76; hi lb., $5.00; lb., $10.00.

F. M. Hansen. Floriat, Peoria. Illinois. July 5, 19lf>. writes:— "Among the Winter-blooming
Spencer Sweet Peas which we had under culture for cutting last winter, 'the best of the
best' were your Yarrawa. Never have we seen anything so perfect and exauisite in every
respect; so. of course, we are wanting your seed again, only much more of it."

JULY and AUGUST

THESE ARE THE MONTHS in which to start seedling Snapdragon
plants to foUow Mums. Snapdragons have become immensely pop-
ular, and for profit to grower there is no plant that touches them.
We have all of the good ones, seed of which were grown under
glass, with each variety in a separate house— meaning the best seed
that can be produced. Prices as follows :

Seed of our original Silver Pink Snapdragon, $1.00 per pkt.;
3 for $2.50; 7 for $6.00. Seed of Nelrose, Garnet, Yellow,
Buxton, Phelps' White and fancy Mixed, 35c per pkt.; 3 for
$1.00. Frae cultural directions. All orders cash.

There is a big shortage of Snapdragon plants, due to rainy season,
so grow all the plants that you can and market any surplus. Our
famous Silver Pink will be the leader, with our other good ones in
their color. Every mail brings repeat orders and puffs for RAMS-
BURG'S SILVER PINK.

Remember July and August and start
some seedling Snapdragon plants.

nounced the various committees to serve
at the picnic. He also read the program
of games and mentioned that every-
thing was in readiness for the most suc-
cessful picnic the club has held.

George Pring, chairman of the com-
mittee to select an official flower for St.
Louis, reported that his committee had
selected the coreopsis, commonly known
as the tickseed, as the most represen-
tative flower for St. Louis.

Messrs. Geddis, Pilcher and F. Wind-
ier were appointed a committee on
transportation for the coming conven-
tion of the S. A. F., at Houston, Texas.

The committee on the applications
for membership of Henry Ochs, Edward
Sedivic, Alexander Volkman, H. M.
Studdard and Emmett McDonald re-
ported favorably and their election fol-
lowed.

The second reading of a change in
the by-laws for the creation of an asso-
ciate membership was read and ap-
proved by a full vote. The final adop-
tion of the change will come up at the
next meeting.

The nomination of officers took place
and resulted as follows: President, Jules
Bourdet; vice-president, W. S. Wells,
August Hummert and Frank X. Gorly;
secretary, J. J. Beneke and J. J. Wind-
ier; treasurer, W. C. Smith.

A committee, consisting of Frank X.
Gorly, W. C. Smith and J. F. Ammann,
was appointed to prepare plans for the
boosting of the various flower days dur-
ing the year, also to estimate the cost
of such publicity and to report at the
next meeting.

A. Jaenicke, H. C. Irish and David S.
Geddis were appointed a committee to
adopt ways and means to secure the
National Flower Show for St. Louis.
They are to report at the next meeting
as to the outcome.

Stephen Beer, private gardener for
the John T. Davis estate, invited the
members to hold the August meeting on
the Davis estate, in St. Louis county.
The invitation was accepted with
thanks. C. C. Sanders extended an invi-
tation to the members to hold the Sep-
tember meeting at his place and the St.
Louis Wholesale Floral Co. has asked
that the club meet at the home of the
new company, 1410 Pine street, in Oc-
tober.

The Florists' Review j^" ^o. i916

The secretary was instructed to write
to the Betail Plorists' Association, ask-
ing it to affiliate itself with the Flo-
rists' Club, become an auxiliary and
conduct its affairs through a retaU com-
mittee appointed by the club.

Before adjourning, a rising vote of
thanks was given Mr. Bourdet for his
entertainment. The next meeting will
be held August 10, at 2 o'clock.

Various Notes.

H. C. Irish, secretary of the National
Commercial Apple Growers ' Association,
has mailed programs for the first con-
vention of this association, to be held
at the Warwick hotel. Fifteenth and Lo-
cust streets, August 2 and 3. There will
be two sessions each day. Senator H.
M. Dunlap will call the meeting to
order. A large attendance is expected.

Mr. and Mrs. Jules Bourdet left July
17, with their family, for a ten days'
stay in the Ozark mountains. The trip
was made in Mr. Bourdet 's touring car.

Martin Lechner and Walter Young,
who are with the soldiers on the Mex-
ican border, write that they are in the
best of health. Both expect to be gone
until the first of the year and possibly
longer. We shall miss these two live
wires at the picnic this week.

James Arado, for many years head of
the cut flower department of C. Young
& Sons Co., is reported critically ill and
the family physician has given up hopes
of his recovery. He has been ill for
several months.

John Connon, for many years head of
the Connon Floral Co., at Webster
Groves, will leave this week with his
family for Twin Falls, Idaho, where
they will make their future home. His
many friends in the trade wish him
much prosperity in his new home.

Henry Ostertag, head of Ostertag
Bros., says the summer so far has been
good to him. Business has been brisk,
especially in funeral work.

Mr. and Mrs. J. J. Windier have been
away for two weeks, spending a vaca-
tion at Valley Park, and boating and
fishing in the Meramec river. On Mr.
Windier 's return, Ed Guntly will take a
few weeks' vacation at the same place.

The transportation committee of the
Florists' Club for the trip to Houston,
for the S. A. F. convention, has been
advised that the round-trip rate, via
New Orleans, will be $32.65. Anyone
contemplating going should inform Da-
vid Geddis, chairman of the committee.

The wholesale florists closed at noon
July 20, so that all could attend the
picnic at Bomona park, the event of
the year for the St. Louis florists and
their families. A great many of the
retail shops also closed.

The Westover Nursery Co., of Clay-
ton, has established a city office at 1444
Syndicate Trust building. H. M. En-
dres, vice-president of the company,
says that they are busy getting the
place ready for the fall business.

Chas. H. Gelven, of Gelven's Green-
houses, Cape Girardeau, Mo., spent a
day in the wholesale district buying
supplies. Mr. Gelven says he is one of
the original readers of The Review and
has never missed a copy since the first
issue.

The Lafly Florists' Home Circle was
entertained July 12 by Mrs. Andrew
Meyer, Jr., at her home on South Jef-
ferson avenue. A pleasant afternoon
-was spent. Mrs. Otto G. Koenig will re-
•ceive the ladies next month.

New Early Flowering Giant Pansies

Or Winter Blooming

An entirely new and distinct strain of Pansies. The main advan-
tage of these new Pansies over all hitherto existing Pansies is the
extreme earliness of flowering and its unusual hardiness, which enables
them to withstand quite severe Winters, and to bloom right on into
the Summer. Sown at the same time as other Pansies, they begin
flowering the early part of March or as soon as the snow is off the
ground, many times having four or five large flowers to a plant, when
all other Pansies are only showing buds. The flowers are large, well
formed and fragrant. They are highly recommended for Autumn
planting on graves, and for very early bedding, as well as for early
cut flowers. Each color separate or mixed.

14. WIVTEK SUK. Golden yellow, with dark eye,

15. ICE KZira. Silvery white, with dark blue «ye.

16. CE£ESTXA]b QUEEN. Light or sky blua.

September, ready for a busy fall season.

Most of the west end florists are en-
gaged in the clean-up season and are
making improvements of all kinds for
the opening of the fall season. C. Young
& Sons Co. is redecorating the interior
of the Olive street store.

Adolph Steidle, son of John Steidle,
is helping out at Vandervoort's flower
department in the absence of those on
vacation. David Geddis still is on the
job, but expects to take his vacation
after August 1.

While most of the florists' clubs
throughout the country dispense with
meetings during the summer, the St.
Louis Florists' Club thrives on the
meetings during these months. The
meetings are held outdoors and the en-
tertainment features bring out large at-

'T*H£ original Album of Designs was published in response to many

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 ahow the customer the finished article as it would be when
ready for use. With the publication of this album it became possible to
8ho'<iv the finished '^ork 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 ne'w and heretofore unpublished pieces.

IX)S ANaELES.

The Market.

Stock has piled up considerably in
the retail stores and wholesale houses
this week. While the weather has not
been particularly hot, yet there seems
to be no life in the trade and funeral
work is the retailers' only salvation.
Boses are poor in color and substance
and are not worth the prices asked.
Carnations are much improved. Those
coming from new land in the foothill
sections are especially fine, while the
new-crop flowers from the beach loca-
tions are also good. Asters generally
are not so good as usual. Sweet peas
are keeping up well for this time of
year and a large quantity of all classes
of outdoor stock is to be had .cheaply.
Vacations, rather than business, are the
topic of discussion now.

Various Notes.

About forty members of the Los An-
geles County Horticultural Society sat
down to an elegant supper and smoker
July 8. President Felgate was in the
chair and provided* the cigars. As
usual on such occasions, little business
was talked of, but the perennial mat-
ter of a show in this city was again
brought up and E. Hunt, manager of
Hamburger's flower department, asked
for the society's aid in holding a rose
show. No executive action . was taken,
but a pleasant time was spent.

Manager W, Wern, of Wright's
Flower Shop, is starting on a vacation
trip in which he intends to visit iLake
Tahoe, driving from there over the
mountains to San Francisco and re-
turning by the coast route. He will be
accompanied by Mrs. Wern.

Martin Beukauf, representing H.
Bayersdorfer & Co., of Philadelphia, is
calling on the trade here this week.

H. Ikeda, a prominent Japanese cut
flower grower, who consigns all his
stock to the Los Angeles Floral Co.,
had the misfortune to lose his 6-months-
old boy this week.

The Los Angeles Floral Co. is han-
dling the entire cut of the new pink
seedling carnation raised and grown by
Elgert & Martin, of Covina. This is a
medium-sized flower, but grand in color
and one of the most wonderful keepers
ever sent out. The "busiest place in
town" is the new description of this
store.

A. F. Borden, of the Redondo Floral
Co., is taking a few days off and is
going into training for a real vacation
trip in the mountains later. Albert
Knopf leaves for San Diego this week
with his '.'Ford and family." Pete
Wilson, of this firm's staff, will leave
for a vacation next week. He will run
his machine to Frisco, where he ex-
pects to land on schedule time, but
''man proposes" — and sometimes the
speed cop decides. Pete is known as
the original little speed cop dodger.

H. W. Turner is now making streaks
with his little Oakland, painted the real
Turner color. The "bug" kicks up
dust, but does not show it.

Murata & Co. are showing extra fine
new-crop carnations in all colors. The
newer shades of pink and rose are espe-
cially attractive.

A visit to the Hills Nursery shows
the large new fern grown by Mr. Hills
in fine condition. It is a magnificent
grower and rapidly makes large plants.
So far Mr. Hills has not named it, as
he wishes to make sure that there is
nothing else in the market at all like it.

Miss Kate Parsons, of Fresno, is on
a visit to this city.

M. Lambert, the genial superintend-
ent of Elysian park, has left on an
extended trip north, having returned
from San Diego, where he spent a
week. Mr. Lambert is on a partly
pleasure and partly business trip, as he

will inspect the various parks, ceme-
teries and nurseries en route. He pro-
poses going as far as Spokane at least,
and possibly farther.

H. Reeve Darling has quit the old
store entirely and is now well estab-
lished in his new one.

J. Morris, of the California Ever-
green Co., was under the weather a few
days last week, but is back on the
job again. J. Rolleri is always on
deck and the stock handled here is in
fine condition. H. R. Richards.

There prevails the usual lull in the

more than adequate for all demands
and there seems to be more than the
usual quantity of outdoor flowers ped-
dled by itinerant growers, who, if they
serve no other purpose, help to fill the
stores with cheap stock, the handling
of which brings little profit to grower
or retailer. There is an abundance of
sweet peas and they retain their keep-
ing qualities longer than usual. A few
outdoor gladioli are offered and irises
are plentiful. The summer prices of
carnations are slightly better than
usual. The outdoor roses are becoming
scarcer and it almost pays to take them
to the stores now.

Cucumber growers are making more
money than usual, despite the strong
outdoor opposition, and the tomato mar-
ket is improving. Nearly all growers
have to rely on one or another of these
vegetables as a part of, in some cases
all of, their summer crop. The favor-
able returns they now are receiving
help to cheer the erstwhile mournful
greenhousemen.

Various Notes.

Ralph Richardson is the proud father
of a bonny wee lassie, born last week,
and smiles predominate at the green-
houses— even Uncle Joe is tickled to
death.

Thomas Rhoades was called away
from the Woodlawn store on account of
the serious illness of his mother.

Carl Melby has purchased the Flower
Shop, on Pike street, which he will
operate in connection with his green-
houses at Madison park.

W. Hawkins now has secured the en-
tire interest in the Seattle Pottery Co.

The Market.

Cool weather checked the receipts of
outdoor flowers last week and the calls
for funerals, weddings and home deco-
rations took the surplus. Since the first
of June shippers have been able to fill
all orders, but there has been no waste
to speak of. Including outdoor flowers,
there probably are more varieties of-
fered in midsummer than at any other
season. Prices are normal and little
price cutting is done.

The Sweet Pea Show.

The Oregon Sweet Pea Society held
a successful show in the auditorium of
the Meier & Frank department store,
July 12 and 13. Although the date was
later than usual, the late opening of the
summer season brought the flowers into
prime condition and the display was of
unusually high quality, both as to
bloom and stem. The number of entries

was nearly double that of last year's
and included several exhibits by flo-
rists.

Henry Clemmens, of Newberg, Ore.,
had the largest exhibit in the commer-
cial growers' class, showing seventy
varieties in about 100 vases. In the
amateur classes entries were made by
growers of Oregon and Washington.
Decorated tables and set pieces filled
one side of the room.

Aside from sweet peas, there was an
interesting exhibit of delphiniums by
Charles F. Barber. Max Smith showed
a basket of Gladiolus Mrs. Lehmann.
The Mountain View Floral Co. occupied
a corner with a display of roses and per-
ennials. R. R. Routledge, Max Smith
and Henry Clemmens were the society's
committee on arrangements.

President J. H. Dundore said the so-
ciety was growing and in a most satis-
factory condition. Henry Clemmens re-
marked that the season was favorable
for producing high-g^ade sweet pea
seed and that his crop was in splendid

SAN FRANCISCO.

The Market.

The middle of July finds the local
flower business in about the usual state
of summer dullness. The city schools
are to open earlier than usual this year,
so the period of dullness probably will
not last so long as in former years, as
families soon will be obliged to return
from their summer homes in order to
get the children ready. At present
about the only activity is funeral busi-
ness. Flowers of splendid quality con-
tinue to arrive, but in such quantities
that some varieties are a drug on the
market, notwithstanding their perfec-
tion. This applies particularly to gla-
dioli, the supply of which seems to be-
come larger avery day. The best blooms
may be purchased at moderate prices
and some cannot be sold at any price.
The situation is similar with regard to
dahlias. A few chrysanthemums made
their appearance last week, about three
weeks earlier than usual, Isut they did
not cut much figure in the market, al-
though the quality was all that could
be expected. Asters have been on the
market for some time, but the stems
have been so short that most of the
offerings found an outlet only through
the street venders. Good asters are due
within a week or ten days.

Carnations are cheap, and hard to
move at that. Roses are quite plentiful
and all^ varieties show good quality ex-
cept American Beauties, which are not
so good as they were two or three
weeks ago. A good many zinnias are
arriving and they receive more atten-
tion. A number of growers are bring-
ing in an abundance of good snap-
dragon and some unusually fine stocks
are offered. Marigolds, gaillardias, co-

One of the plants that made many new
friends this spring "was Weigela Eva
Bathke.

Peactically all nurserymen recognize
the increasing importance of the depart-
ment devoted to ornamentals; the call
for shrubs seems insatiable.

This is proving an excellent growing
season for nearly all classes of nursery
stock; the weather conditions have been
such that the lateness of the spring has
been fully counterbalanced by the*' rapid-
ity of the summer's growth.

UHTD LIENS COVEK STOCK.

When a mortgage is given upon land
used for nursery purposes, any question
raised as to whether the lien covers
growing nursery stock is a matter to
be settled by the intention of the
parties to the mortgage, if expressed,
according to a late decision of the
Texas Court of Civil Appeals (184
Southwestern Eeporter 537). In the
absence of an expression of understand-
ing on the point, the court holds that it
must be presumed that the parties in-
tended that the stock be sub3ect to the
mortgage covering the real estate. In
the opinion the following rule of law,
as decided by other courts, is approved
by the Texas tribunal.

Trees and shrubs planted in a nur-
sery for the temporary purpose of cul-
tivation and growth until they are fit
for market, and then to be taken up
and sold, are subject to a mortgage on
the land, so that neither the mortgagor
nor his assigns or creditors can remove
them as personal property. One claim-
ing that trees and shrubs, whether
growing naturally or planted and cul-
tivated for any purpose, are not part
of the realty must show special circum-
stances which take the particular case
out of the general rule; he must show
that the parties intended that they
should be regarded as personal chattels.

The mere fact that the trees and shrubs
were the stock in trade of the mort-
gagor in his business as a nurseryman
is insufficient for this purpose. They
are prima facie part of the land, unless
specially excepted, and, in the same
way, unless specially excepted, pass to
a mortgagee. Although planted by the
mortgagor after the execution of the
mortgage, they become a part of the
realty and part of the mortgage
security.

Concluding, the Texas court says:
"If the evidence justifies the con-
clusion that at the time the mortgage
was executed it was contemplated by
the parties that the mortgagor should
have the right each year to sell the nurs-
ery stock, without accounting to the
mortgagee for the proceeds of such
sales, and that this right has been exer-
cised by the mortgagor continuously
since the execution of the mortgage, we
think it should be held that it was the

intention of the parties that the nurs-
ery stock placed or grown on the land
was to be regarded as personal prop-
erty, and not subject to the mortgage."

closed night and day, but would give
the cuttings a little air about 9 a. m.,
removing it entirely by 3 o'clock, at
the same time spraying everything over
and bottling up a brisk, moist heat.
The length of time that only a small
amount of air can be safely given va-
ries with the class of stock you may
be propagating. When the cuttings are
calloused nicely a safe plan is to air
them a little more freely.

Fungus in the greenhouse will spread
rapidly if the ventilators are shut tight-
ly both day and night. Care should be
taken to use sand that is perfectly
clean. Sometimes a sand bank in woods
apparently will give clean sand, but it
really contains considerable humus. If
old sand is used it should be sterilized
by steam or boiling water. If the sand
is quite fine and inclined to become
scummy on the surface, it may be im-
proved by adding some fine charcoal or
even clean coal or coal ashes to it.
This will make it more porous.

scarlet color. Always good color. Always strong in stem and does not split. The best scarlet in
sight. We are booking ordiers right along now. Better let us have yours, too.

MILWAUKEE.

The Market.

The weather was really hot last week.
We have seen some of the hottest days
of the season and they have put a
quietus on business. Stock is exceed-
ingly plentiful and of only medium
quality. The sales are light. There is
a glut of carnations just now, despite
the fact that the growers are busy
throwing out the plants and preparing
for new stock.

There is no shortage* of anything,
possibly because the demand is not
there. Shipping trade *old8 up better
than the local sales and some good
stock is disposed of at rock-bottom
prices. The spring was exceptionally
^ood and we can stand an easy time of
it for a short period. No trouble is
being experienced in handling the work
in shifts, so that some of the force can
get away for their vacations.

Various Notes.

R. Lietz has taken his family to their
summer home at Cedar lake and each
week goes out himself. It is a relief,
he says, to get away regularly for over
Sunday.

Mr. and Mrs. Miller, who operate the
Bacine Floral Co., at Racine, Wis.,
stopped at Milwaukee for a short time
July 15, while on their way to West
Bend, where they spent Sunday.

Ella Voelzke, of 3803 Lisbon avenue,
is taking her vacation at Okauchee lake
this week.

M. A. McKenney & Co. moved last
week from their old stand at 417 Mil-
waukee street, to 113 Wisconsin street.
The new store is spacious and well
equipped. It is handsomely decorated
and is an ideal location. The decora-
tions are white and light gray and the
fixtures fine indeed. The windows are
large, permitting a big display.

A. A. Ringier, of the W. W. Barnard
Co., Chicago, was a visitor July 15.

The death of W. E. Dallwig, a pioneer
seedsman of Milwaukee, which occurred
Thursday, July 13, is recorded in the
obituary column of this issue.

The trade got a half holiday Satur-
day, July 15, when Milwaukee turned
out for the monster preparedness
parade. H. J. S.

V

Nappanee, Ind. — July 1 was the day
of Morton Gibson's return to his first
love, the florists' business.

Stellarton, N. S. — The Stellarton Nur-
series of L. McLaughlin & Sons were
established in 1875. A general nursery
and florists' business now is done and a
new house 23x100 feet is in process of
erection to increase the retail trade.

The Market.

The last two weeks have seen mtith
of the summer lethargy, yet business
has been good considering the season.

Outdoor crops are coming on slowly,
the cannas and other heat-loving bed-
ders being fully two weeks later than
usual. Gladioli are holding the center
of the stage this week and we have
never seen so good an assortment in
the stores. They are selling better, too,
because people are not confined to one
or two varieties. America remains the
favorite with the buyers, but Baron
Hulot is selling unusually well.

Eoses are in good supply, fully as
good as the demand. A few asters are
making their appearance, but they are
lacking in quality. Cosmos is bloom-
ing well for so early in the season. This
flower cuts little figure in the market
here, but it helps when there is a short-
age. Gaillardias are beginning to be
recognized in a small way as cut flow-
ers. There are few flowers that can
be used so effectively in decorations,
especially where something out of the
conventional is required.

Various Notes.

The Joys have their planting finished
and are busy cleaning up. They have
cut down the space devoted to Amer-
ican Beauty and also to red roses. They
say that the tendency in this market is
to demand pink roses.

J. F. Corbett has found outdoor roses
so profitable for cut fiowers that he
planted a new block recently.

Mr. Alderson, who has been private
grower for the Belle Meade estate, has
accepted the position of manager of the
Ward-Belmont greenhouses. He entered
upon his duties last week. Mr. John-
ston, who, has been employed in various
capacities in several of the leading es-
tablishments during the last ten years,
has accepted the position formerly held
by Mr. Alderson. Mr. Palmer, who
formerly owned the Edenwold estate,
has purchased Belle Meade.

Mclntyre Bros, have their houses
planted and are selling their surplus
plants. They have things in good shape
for the fall business. F. B.

Elkhart, Ind. — A large greenhouse
and conservatory are to be erected on

is superintendent of the estate, which
is one of the finest in Hoosierdom.

Greenhouse Heating.

TEMPEBATUBE IS NOT STATED.

I am mailing to you a blue print of
my new greenhouse. Will you please
advise me as to the best way of ar-
ranging the piping for a hot water
heating system? The house runs east
and west and is of first-class construc-
tion. It contains four benches.

S. C. H.— N. Y.

The blue print shows a house 28x75.
Its walls are six feet high, with 37-inch
Bashes in each. The boiler house and
workroom are at one end of the green-
house.

There is nothing either in the letter
or blue print to indicate what tem-
perature is desired in the house,
but most houses are piped either for
60 to 65 degrees or for 50 to 55 de-
grees. We would suggest, therefore,
for a rose house, the use of three 2%-
inch flow pipes, running one about three
feet below the ridge, and one of the
others on each plate, or at the purlins.
Connect these flow pipes with the re-
turn coils at the farther end of the
' house. Eun three 2-inch returns under
each of the four benches and place two
on each side wall, below the flow pipe.

If a temperature of 50 to 55 degrees
is desired, use three flows and twelve
returns, placing two under each bench
and upon each wall.

PrPINQ IN A MILD CLIMATE.

We have a greenhouse 18x85 and nine
feet high to the ridge, with two and
one-half feet of glass in the side walls.
There are solid beds at the sides, to
make the house warmer, and there is a
bench in the center. We should like
to have you tell us the best way to heat
this house for carnations. The winters
here are quite mild; the outside tem-
perature seldom drops below 24 degrees,
and then only for one night at a time.
The winter temperature averages from
35 to 45 degrees at night. We are
thinking of using four 3-inch blue-flame
kerosene burners, under a boiler with
water circulation. We do not wish to
be up at night to attend to the boiler.
Your advice will be highly appreciated.

M. N. T. P.— Ga.

We have had no experience in heat-
ing greenhouses under such climatic
conditions as those mentioned, but we
are confident that there will be no diffi-
culty in maintaining a temperature
suited to carnations if a 2i^-inch flow
pipe is run with a slight fall about two

Entire Plant Heated by Kroeschell Boilers

"Begarding the Eroeschell, it is the best we have ever had and satis-

us considerable already in the price of fuel. When we are in need of another
boiler, we will give the Kroeschell the first consideration."

The KROESCHELL has replaced hundreds of cast iron boilers.
In every case higher temperatures are secured with the KROE-

The KROESCHELL is making the most wonderful greenhouse
heating record in the world. Our boilers were installed to heat
2,304,450 sq. ft. glass in 1914. Florists who have used other
makes are constantly giving the KROESCHELL the highest praise.

bgiJers in question, but it would seem
that the claims made for them have
some foundation and that the boilers
are adapted for the heating of small
greenhouses.

The diagram shows the present green-
house to be 20x35. Beyond it — that is,
at the side of the range farthest from
the boiler — is shown the proposed house,
which will require a temperature of 60
degrees at one end and 55 degrees at
the other. The proposed house will be
parallel with the present one, but de-
tached from it.'

If the heat furnished to the present
house is satisfactory, we would not ad-
vise any change, but we would put in
a valve by means of which the heat
furnished to the garage and stable can
be regulated.

For the new house we would use 4-
inch main flow and return pipes, and
from the main flow we would take oflf
three 2% -inch pipes as flows inside the
house. If there is no glass in the side
walls, we would suggest the use of nine
2-inch returns, placing three on each
of the side walls and the others under
the middle benches. One of the flows
should be upon each plate and the other
about two feet below the ridge. The
difference in the exposure of the two
ends of the house will probably make
the 35-foot section about 5 degrees
cooler than the other room.

While we have no one in mind who is
looking for a secondhand boiler, a cus-
tomer can undoubtedly be secured by
using the advertising columns of The
Eeview, at a cost of 10 cents a line.

WATER DOES NOT CIRCULATE.

Enclosed you will find a sketch which
shows my boiler and the way in which
it is connected with the piping in the
greenhouse. It is a Wilks boiler. I
tested the outfit today, but found that
the pipes barely get warm and the
water boils out of the 1-inch pipe on
top of the expansion tank. Can you
state the cause of the trouble and sug-
gest a remedy? I cannot use the heat-
ing system in its present condition and
I am anxious to get it in shape as soon
as possible. L. A. W. — Miss.

The sketch shows two 1% inch flow
pipes running overhead, about forty
inches above the top of the boiler. Each
of these flows, presumably, feeds a re-
turn coil of five 1^-inch pipes, which
appear to be but little, if any, above
the bottom of the boiler. The expan-
sion tank is located seventy-eight inches
above the top of the boiler and is cou;
nected with one of the main returns,
as well as with the highest point in
each of the flow pipes.

The only way in which it is possible
to make water circulate in a system
where the returns are on about the
same level as the bottom of the boiler
is to carry it under pressure. If the
system is connected with a city water
service, a safety valve may be placed
upon the vertical pipe running up from
the top of the expansion tank, and may
be set at a pressure slightly higher
than will be carried in the water sys-
tem. A pressure gauge should also be
attached at some convenient point in
the system. There, should be a shut-off
valve in the pipe connecting with the
city main, but this should be kept open.
Care should be taken to allow any air
which may collect in the system to
escape through the safety valve. An-
other way would be to install a mer-
cury generator to place the water in

The Florists' Review

JtlLY 20, 1816.

BALTIMORE.

The Market.

The middle of July finds us in the
grip of a hot wave, and, aside from a
little funeral work, there has been little
business. The market is well supplied
with all kinds of stock, although more
good asters could be used to advantage.
There are many of them too small.
Roses are poor and their sale slow.
While the few good carnations coming
in are sold, there are quantities for
which there is no demand even at low
figures.

Southern-grown gladioli have filled
the market and lowered the price far
beyond the former figures, but even at
low prices many were left unsold at the
end of the week. Lilies have been in
fair demand, but valley has had few
calls. Quantities of outdoor peas,
phloxes and hydrangeas are coming in,
but they meet a small demand and a
large supply of greens moves slowly.

Various Notes.

B. G. Merritt has a fine lot of Mrs.
Bussell roses for next season, but he
has not entirely gotten rid of the rose
midge, which caused much damage for
him last season.

George Morrison is rearranging his
heating system and putting new bars
and glass on each of his four green-
houses.

John Symon has purchased the lower
section of greenhouses owned by J. E.
Bartell, on the York road, near Eadnor
avenue, and will run them in connection
with his store on Eastern avenue. Wal-
ter, a brother, formerly with Andrew
Anderson, will be in charge.

Lehr Bros, have finished planting
their rose houses and have added Baby
Doll, Prima Donna and Hoosier Beauty
to their collection.

The auto parade held in connection
■with the Elks ' convention was of little
benefit to local florists, as only a few
cars were decorated with natural flow-
ers. W. (L. Simmers had three cars and
Edward Kress had one. Other than
these,, none have been reported.

W. F. Gude, of Washington, D. C,
was in town in connection with the
Elks' convention.

Lohr & Fritze have discarded Rich-
mond ahd in its place have planted
Hoosier Beauty and Hadley.
, C. E. Akehurst, instead of planting
y6vX his carnation plants, has construct-
ed a number of frames and grown his
entire planting stock in 4-inch pots.
The plants are in good shape and should
prove much easier to replant than field
stock. A number of seedlings are be-
ing grown.

L. B. Glick, of the Leo Niessen Co.,
is away on a two weeks' vacation.

Stevenson Bros, have finished replant-
ing their rose houses and are trying out
Sunburst for the flrst time. A flne lot
of Mrs. George Shawyer has. been
planted.

Mr. and Mrs. E. A., Seidewitz and
daughter, Adele, are attending the in-
ternational convention of Rotary clubs,
in session at Cincinnati, O.

A. A. Niessen motored down from
Philadelphia last week, and, accom-
panied by W. E. McKissick, made the
rounds of some of the flrm's consignors.

and C. A. Schaefer, of York, Pa., were

for the organization and show. The
California Dahlia Society, the other
new organization, has elected the fol-
lowing officers: President, N. Durbrow;
vice-president, "William Kittlewell; sec-
ond vice-president, Mrs. J. A. Scanna-
vino; secretary, Mr. Vanderbilt. It is
composed of both amateurs and profes-
sionals.

Various Notes.

B. M. Joseph has returned from an
automobile trip to Lake Tahoe. His
manager, F. J. Bertrand, hopes to get
away this week for a trip north, and
possibly east before returning. He says
funeral business was active last week.

K. & M. Hannon have definitely de-
cided to remain in the Sutter street
store, which they occupied temporarily
a few months ago when they moved
from 1438 Polk street, where a new
building was to be erected. As soon as
it was learned that they did not want
to return to the former location on
Polk street, A. F. Lundberg, who had
been conducting a shop at 1725 Polk
street, arranged to take the new quar-
ters. The place is nicely finished to
suit the needs of the florists' business
and Mr. ILundberg moved in July 8.

The E. W. McLellan Co. still is bring-
ing in a fine cut of roses.

Mark Ebel, florist of Sacramento,
Cal.. paid the trade a visit last week.

Tne renovation of the Art Floral Co.
store, on Powell street, has been com-
pleted and the appearance of the place
is greatly improved. A new electric
sign is being put up this week and the
front of the store is being repainted.

About all the orchids available in the
local market are coming from J. A.
. Carbone's place at Berkeley. He has
been bringing in some fine specimens
and will have a heavier cut within a
week or so.

Podesta & Baldocchi have been ship-
ping a good many orchids lately. Last
week they sent a large order to Salt
Lake City, Utah.

Frank Pelicano, of Pelicano, Eossi &
Co., is back in town after spending
some time at Byron Hot Springs, in
Contra Costa county, where he recuper-
ated from a bad attack of rheumatism.

"Upon his return from Eureka, Cal.,
where he went to assist Charles Willis
"Ward during the Fourth, Frank Thatch-
er, with Pelicano, Rossi & Co., said the
Eurekans had a fine sweet pea shoyv as
part of the celebration. Mr. Ward took

NEWARK, N. J.

The Market.

As -was to be expected, business is a
little slow, though it has kept up well,
considering the experience of former
years. According to reports, there has
been a considerable number of funerals.

Rambler roses have practically gone.
Carnations are petering out and their
quality is much inferior. The same is
true of sweet peas. Valley is good for
this time of the year. Some good out-
door snapdragons now are coming into
the market and black-eyed susans are
in their prime. The colors of this
flower happen to be the colors chosen
for Newark's anniversary celebration,
and, for that reason, many of them
have been used. There are fine callas
and Easter lilies in the market. Each
week sees a larger supply of gladioli —
larger, better flowers. There are some
asters coming into the market, but they
are the greenhouse-grown variety and
not 'overplentiful. Some of the florists
are offering aster plants for bedding
purposes. Roses are good for this time
of the year and are moderate in price.

Various Notes.

Philips Bros, recently had a 3-room
decoration consisting of black-eyed
susans and oak foliage.

Edward Jacobi, of Irvington, reports
a good business for the first six months
of the year. He has great difficulty in
procuring sufficient help, laborers of all
kinds being at a premium at the time.
Higher wages were offered, but even at
that it was impossible to get 'all the
help needed.

Fred Philips, of Philips Bros., has
gone to Corson 's inlet on an extended
•fishing trip. He will work his way
down the !New Jersey coast. When he
returns his brother, Frank Philips, will
go on a month 's fishing trip.

William H. Witheridge remarked that
while business has dropped off during
the last few weeks, it still keeps up
well in view of the fact that it is nearly
midsummer. K. B. M.

Negaunee, Mich. — The Negaunee
Greenhouses, established by the Cleve-
land-Cliffs Iron Co., have been leased to
Frederick Nielsen, of Chicago. Mr.
Nielsen will retain William Gilbert,
Harry Harding and F. Harris in his
employ. The business is a large one,
having been established nearly twenty-
five years, there being agencies in many
towns in the peninsula. The nursery
is not included in the lease.

The success of your greenhouse depends
largely upon the results previously shown
by the builder you employ.

Therefore, every grower should investi-
gate the capabilities of the greenhouse-
builder he selects for the job.

The above full iron frame, patented curved
eave Metropolitan greenhouse was erected
by us for Mr. W. W. FulJer, at Briar
Cliflf Manor, N. Y. This house is 26x100
feet, .with an absolutely waterproof ce-

three compartments, which are separately
heated and ventilated, and, being glazed
with 24x24-inch glass, is extremely light.
We also did the masonry.

The Horists' Review

Jolt 20, 1910.

DAVENPORT, R. ISLAND, MOLINE.

The Market.

The Tri-City markets were rather
quiet last week, but now and then fu-
neral and wedding work gave period-
ical signs of business. Flowers are
plentiful enough to meet all require-
ments, with the exception of carnations,
which locally are practically out of the
market. Garden flowers are plentiful.
Gladioli are of good quality and early
asters are arriving. Outdoor sweet peas
were promising, but the hot, dry
weather has all but ruined the crop.
Other outdoor flowers also show the ef-
fects of the intense heat.

The Club Picnic.

A short business session of the Tri-
City Florists' Club was held during the
picnic at the Knees cottage on Rock
river.

The outing proved a big success in
every way and C. O. E. Boehm is win-
ning local fame as a weather prophet,
as it never rains on the day he selects
for the picnic. He now is recognized
as official weather man of the club.

Music, dancing and games were in-
dulged in and every one of the 115 per-
sons in attendance seemed to enjoy the
day's outing to the fullest extent.

Mr. and Mrs. Emil Kranz, of Musca-
tine, la., invited the club for the next
monthly meeting, August 10. The club
members and their wives will make the
trip in automobiles, leaving Davenport
at 1:30 p. m. William Goos, W. C.
Wilson and Edward Patten were ap-
pointed a committee to make the neces-
sary arrangements for transporting the
members.

Philip Foley, of the Foley Green-
house Mfg. Co., Chicago, was a visitor
at the picnic, as well as H. A. Thomas,
of Geneseo, 111. J. Tukis, of Rock Island,
was present and made application for
membership in the club.

Vatrious Notes.

E. F. Pauli, son of H. G. Pauli, and
Miss Delphelia Kuehl, both of Daven-
port, sprung a surprise on their parents
and friends July 7 by going quietly to
Clinton and marrying there. Mr. and
Mrs. Pauli will occupy a new home that
is being constructed. In the meantime
they will reside with the parents of
Mr. Pauli.

Harry Bills, of Davenport, has a new
touring car. A. F. Hotkinson, connected
with the H. Gaethje greenhouses, also
has a new car, equipped with ^ self-
starting device. W. G.

A sweet pea exhibition was held in
conjunction with the monthly meeting
of the Nassau County Horticultural So-
ciety at Glen Cove on the evening of
July 12. Although the exhibits were
not numerous, they were of good qual-
ity and made an excellent display in
the exhibition hall. James MacDonald,
Henry Gibson and Ernest Westlake
acted as judges. Henry Gaut, gardener
for Herbert L. Pratt, was awarded first
prizes for twelve varieties of sweet peas,
twelve sprays of each, for six varieties
of sweet peas, twelve sprays of each,
and special mention for a collection of
herbaceous flowers. James McCarthy,
gardener for W. Kimball, was awarded
first prizes for twenty-five white, twen-
ty-five pink, and twenty-five red sweet
peas, and second prize for six varieties
of sweet peas, twelve sprays of each.
The society's prizes for twenty -five
white, twenty-five pink, and twenty-five

TANKS SiTOWERS

For big water tanks, the sort that are put up on towers, there is nothing to it but Cypress. No
other material lasts so long and does the business so well. Steel tanks do not in any way compare
with Cypress. They have to be painted every little while or they rust out. Not so with Cypress;
the wood takes paint well, but it lasts practically forever without it.

WOODEN TOWERS LAST

It is a foolish notion that tank towers have to be made of steel. Cypress towers carry their
loads as well as steel; they last as long as steel and don't cost half as much. Don't let anybody
fool you regarding the Cypress tower — it is a first-class article.

THE SUMMER WINDOW

FROM THE INSIDE

pTiiiijy^rnnmm

How do you look at your summer window, from the outside, as the
public sees it, or from the inside, as the salespeople see it? In other words,
is the window a help in selling f Does it in any way influence those who
pass to enter and huyf

T the recent convention of
the American Association
of Nurserymen President
Welch, from Iowa, in the
center of things, where
they have the broad view,
got ofif this little pream-
ble: "The new era of
b«nnes8 has come upon
us with a rush of energy
that no century has shown before; just
as men are men, so times are times."
And times change, change rapidly. The
trouble is, all men are not able to
change with them.

The point is that where once a florist
might have been justified, in midsum-
mer, in neglecting the sales-making
qualities of his window and decorating
it only for the curious, today condi-
tions are so different that never, not
even in summer, should selling ability
be passed unconsidered.

Show Flowers.

Every retail florist who has given
even the slightest study to the subject
of window decorating has discovered,
from experience if not otherwise, that
there is a great difference in the com-
mercial values of certain classes of dec-
orations: One will bring the people into
the store to buy, while
another will merely
cause the curious to
comment. Of course
the ideal is the decor-
ation that causes talk
as well as causes im-
mediate sales. Sales,
and the soojier the
better, can be conceded
to be the chief object
sought.

In considering the
character of decora-
tion to be used at any
time, it probably will
be admitted by all that
a window display to
sell flowers must show
flowers; it would Tae
too much to expect
that anyone would en-
ter a store because of
a window display to
ask for something not
shown in it. Conse-
quently, if we expect
our windows to sell
flowers, we must show
flowers. In olden times,
speaking of time as it
passes in this trade, it
was the fashion for

the fine retail stores along Broadway in
New York (most of them are on Fifth
avenue now) to discontinue the dis-
play of cut flowers in their windows
July 1 and for two months to show
specimen ferns. There was, of course,
some danger that persons who did not
pause to read the sign would mistake
the place for an undertaker's shop, but
it is no unusual occurrence for an under-
taker to be asked his price for the
plant in his window!

Are the Ducklings for Sale?

Also it is of record that a Chicago
retail florist once sold complete the
Japanese garden shown behind his
plateglass, and many a retailer has had
inquiries as to "What will you take for
two of the ducklings" in the summer
window, from people who realized that
they were not regular items of stock.

It simply goes to show that even in
summer, when the demand for flowers
admittedly is at low ebb, the principal^
feature of a window decoration might*
better be the things one has for sale.
How many people, after having seen
water windows in different kinds of
stores, can tell which one was at the
florist's? What profit is it to attract the
attention of the multitude if nothing

Rubber-Necks" Surely; Flower Buyers Possibly.

links that attention to the merchandise?
In a certain city at this moment
there are two water windows in one
block. The florist has a well con-
structed pile of moss-grown rocks with
a rill of water flowing down from the
heights to a pool in the center, turning
a millwheel on its way. There isn't
a flower in sight, scarcely a plant.

A Window with a Message.

On the adjacent corner a music house
has a lake scene, with pond lilies and
flsh in the water; there is a canoe with
a man and a woman, the man pad-
dling, the woman running a phono-
graph! The turntable of the machine
carries a record and is revolving, actu-
ated by a concealed electric motor; it
seems to be playing, you will note. /At
one side is a neatly lettered sign call-
ing attention to the value of music on a
summer's outing and stating the price
of the outfit shown. That's advertis-
ing; it's linking the eye-catcher with
the selling force; it actually makes
sales.

With rare exceptions flower store
summer windows fail to do it.

Few Flowers Needed.

The first objection the florist makes
is that in summer cut
flowers will not keep
in the window; that he
cannot afford the use
of the necessary quan-
tities with frequent
changes. And that
leads to another point
in window decorating:
The average florist
puts far too much
stock in his window.
At Philadelphia the
first Sunday of the re-
cent National Flower
Show, one of the best
stores was observed to
have, on a velvet drape
in its window, a good
selection of vases and
flower bowls, the tall-
est vase having just
one rose, a perfect
specimen, and one of
the bow^s was filled
with sweet peas. The
store was closed, but
there was sales force
there; the writer could
go straightT bock to
that store, but he
doesn 't remember one
from another the

TANKS SITOWERS

For big water tanks, the sort that are put up on towers, there is nothing to it but Cypress. No
other material lasts so long and does the business so well. Steel tanks do not in any way compare
with Cypress. They have to be painted every little while or they rust out. Not so with Cypress;
the wood takes paint well, but it lasts practically forever without it.

WOODEN TOWERS LAST

It is a foolish notion that tank towers have to be made of steel. Cypress towers carry their
loads as well as steel; they last as long as steel and don't cost half as much. Don't let anybody
fool you regarding the Cypress tower — it is a first-class article.

places that use their show windows for
the storage of cut flowers.

No, quantity is not necessary in cut
flowers for the window, not nearly so
valuable as inherent good taste and
artistic ability.

Think It Over.

But it is not for want of stock that
the average florist falls short on his
summer window; it is because of fail-
ure to weigh and hitch up the sales
force at his command; it is because the
average florist considers the uniqueness
of his idea and resulting picture rather
than the selling qualities his display
possesses; it is forgotten that nowa-
days flowers and plants are salable
every day in the year if the florist
chooses to push for it.

How to Plan the Center.

This letter and the accompanying
photograph, reproduced herewith, came
from a southern city, where there is,
perhaps, the maximum excuse for sum-
mer neglect of sales possibilities, al-
though it is in winter one of the best

resent stone and plaster. The mill
also is of cardboard, with wood braces
inside which hold the mechanism. The
balcony and wings are of wood, about
one-eighth of an inch in thickness,
stained antique. The roof of the mill
is imitation of red tile.

"Great care should be taken to have
the buildings, figures, animals, etc., in
proper proportion, or as nearly so as
possible.

"The background, with sunset sky
coloring, is painted with water colors
on cotton cloth. The elevation of the
ground is a staging of wood and wire
netting covered with green moss. A
galvanized iron tank 4^^ x 7 feet, -with
a depth of ten inches, serves to hold
the water in the pond, with a 1-inch
outlet in the corner. The tank is hid-
den inside and outside with rocks and
green moss. Small crotons, fancy ca-
ladiums and various ferns are used be-
tween the rocks in front of the pond.
Euonymus, tall crotons, boxwood, arbor-
vit8B and araucarias are grouped on
the sides. No palms are used in the
whole setting."

The Summer Vindow from the Outside— Is h a Flower Store^P'

flower-buying communities in the United
States:

"For the benefit of readers'' who may
be interested in an attractive, inex-
pensive summer window display, we are
sending you a photograph of our win-
dow as it appears at the present time.

"Crowds are constantly attracted,
during the day, commenting favorably
on the coolness of the atmosphere
which it suggests during these swelter-
ing summer days. The brook running
under the bridge and emptying into a
pond containing goldfish, water lilies
and other aquatics, lends an air of cool-
ness in itself; then there is the imagin-
ary breeze that operates the windmill,
^though in reality it is driven by a
fljinall electric motor on the inside; an
ordinary small electric fan is used for
this purpose by removing the blades
and pabstituting a small wooden,
grooved' pulley -one and one-fourth
inches in diameter.

"The bridge, buildings, etc., are made
of heavy cardboard and painted to rep-

Not a word, you will notice, about the
display of what the retailer has for
sale, nothing to show that it is a flower
store even, for the ferns and things
would be as likely to appear if the dis-
play were in the music store.

But now the decorators will think
it over and will have no difficulty in
making the window advertise the dol-
lar box, the special sale of gladioli, or
the day's supply of long-keeping Eus-
sell roses.

of instruction in floriculture in a more
elaborate way than has been possible
in the past. It has not been possible
to give this work the consideratioi^ it

HOOSIEBS HOLD OUTING.

The State Florists ' Association of In-
diana held its annual summer meeting
at "Winona Lake, Ind., July 18 and 19.
Quite a few members took advantage
of the program of sports and entertain-
ment arranged by the "Winona outing
committee, consisting of J. D. Conner,
of "Wabash; Fred King, of "Winona
Lake, and Wm. Terrell, of Warsaw, and
enjoyed themselves at Indiana's prin-
cipal summer resort..

At the business meeting, held at
Raike's hall on the afternoon of the
first day, S. H. Young, of Casey, 111.,
and A. "W. Herre, of Poehlmann Bros.
Co., Chicago, were elected to associate
membership. The secretary reported
the association in good financial condi-
tion and collections for the Anna Jarvis'
Mothers' day fund totaling $133. The
members were all gratified to hear that
part of the equipment of Purdue Uni-
versity will be devoted to floricultural
experiments and the following commit-
tee was appointed to cooperate with
Prof. "Woodbury and Prof. Sayre, of the
Department of Horticulture, and to ar-
range for this year's experiments:
F. A. Dorner, La Fayette; Jos. H. Hill,
Richmond; A. F. J. Baur, Indianapolis;
Fred Heinl, Terre Haute, and John
Hartje, Indianapolis.

The August meeting was suspended
and the date for the September meet-
ing set for Thursday evening of State
Fair week at Indianapolis. A letter
from A. Kasmussen, New Albany, in-
viting the association to visit his plant
in October, was' read. August R.
Baumer, of Louisville, was present as
a special emissary of the Kentucky
and Louisville florists to arrange for
a joint meeting of the two societies.
The invitation was heartily accepted
and the details left to the officers to
arrange, the joint session to be about
the second week in October, at which
time a special car will carry the Indi-
ana delegation from Indianapolis to
Louisville.

After the business meeting the usual
boat ride took place, followed by a
banquet at the "Winona hotel. Nothing
but praise can be accorded the "Winona
assembly for the high-class entertain-
ment furnished. The Apollo Concert

WHICH SOHj is FBEFEBABIiE?

We have some soil in which we wish
to plant carnations, but we fear it is
too li^t a loam. It was the only soil
"we could get in the spring, when we
procured it, but now we have an oppor-
tunity to get a heavy loam from which
a big crop of clover has just been cut.
Which soil would you advise us to usef
As good decayed manure is dif&cult to
get here, what would be the best kind
of fertilizer to mix with the soil?

D. W. L. & S.— Pa.

If you had plowed the clover field in
May, put on a good covering of stable
manure and plowed it again in the first
part of this month, I would advise you
to use that soil for your carnations.
But, inasmuch as you do not seem to
have had an opportunity to do any-
thing toward preparing it, I doubt
whether it would be wise to start at
this late date. You could hardly ex-
pect to get it into first-class shape, ex-
cept for extra late planting. If you
have prepared the light soil properly,
there is no reason why you should not
grow good carnations on it, if the light-
ness is caused by an admixture of sand.
It will require a little more feeding than
the other.

There is no substitute for manure,
except in a limited way. If you will
take plenty of time to prepare your soil
with green cover crops, you can use
sheep manure, bone meal, etc., so as to
dispense with the stable manure almost
entirely, but it will require more time
to do it. If you want to prepare your
«oil in a few months, you must use
stable manure to put the humus into it.
It is not necessary that the stable ma-
nure be rotted, when mixing it with the
soil, if you will take a few months
for preparing your soil. I have never
yet seen the place where stable manure
could not be procured if the proper ef-
fort were made long enough in advance.

A. F. J. B.

roBEST son. is UNSUITABI^E.

Will you please inform me whether
leaf-mold taken from the woods and
put in the benches would be a satisfac-
tory carnation soil? How soon should
I plant the carnations in the benches
80 as to start cutting the blooms early?
Which are the best whites and best reds
to grow? I shall be thankful for any
information you can give me, as this is
my first season's experience in growing
carnations. L. A. H. — O.

It is rather late to begin preparing
your carnation soil for this season's
planting. Soil from the woods is not at
all suitable for carnations and I would
not advise you to use it. What you
need is a good medium loam, with a
heavy sod growing on it. This, how-
ever, should have been plowed not later
than last fall, so as to give the sod
time to rot. I would advise you to

select some good garden soil, which has
been under cultivation and properly fer-
tilized. If it is fairly rich, it will do
without any additional fertilizer, but,
if you deem it advisable, you can give
it a dressing of sheep manure at the
rate of a peck of the manure to each
yard of soil. Work this over thoroughly
and let it lie three to four weeks be-
fore using it. After the plants are
established, you can give the necessary
food in the shape of mulches and dress-
ings.

White Wonder is our best paying
white carnation. Matchless is a better
shipper, but will not give quite as many
blooms. There is little difference in
quality. Beacon is the biggest Christ-
mas cropper in the reds, while Champion
is the best all-season variety.

WOOD ASHES IN THE SOIL.

I am making a compost heap and
have my soil already hauled — a pretty
good, medium heavy, clean, virgin loam.
I have access to nice, clean hardwood
ashes, bleached or unbleached, at $1
per load. How much of the ashes
should I mix with the soil, and what
value hav« the ashes as plant food, in
comparison with animal manure at the
same price per load? Could I eliminate
the animal manure altogether or should
I use some of both? I am growing car-
nations, mums, roses and a general line
of other stock. Please state, also, what
value hardwood ashes would have out-
side on a field on which tomatoes, corn,
potatoes, etc., are to be grown. When
should the ashes be put on, and in what
proportion? G. J. T. — Tenn.

The principal elements in wood ashes
are potash and lime. Potash, nitrogen
and phosphoric acid are the three prin-
cipal elements- that make up a com-
plete fertilizer. We are further told
that most soils are plentifully supplied
with potash^ Hence, unless the other
two elements are added in sufficient

quantities to reduce the proportion •£
potash materially, the addition of pot-
ash will prove of no benefit. The lime
in th« wood ashes would act in the
same way as lime applied in any other
form. It would serve to liberate plant
food more freely and would help to
sweeten the soil.

You will see, for the reasons men-
tioned, that you cannot expect to sub-
stitute wood ashes for animal manure.
The animal manure is needed for the
nitrogen content and also for the hu-
mus, which enables the bacteria to work
properly. Phosphoric acid is added by
the use of bone or acid phosphate.

Unless you feel sure that your soil is
deficient in potash, I would suggest that
you do not apply the wood ashes until
after the plants are established in the"^
benches. Then, if the growth seems
flabby and the stems weak, give one or
more applications of the ashes, scratch-
ing it into the soil lightly before water-
ing. This will harden the growth and
stiffen the flower stems.

The foregoing statements hold good
outdoors as well as in the greenhouses.
There is not much danger of overdoing
the wood ashes, but to apply them when
not needed would be wasted effort. If
they are needed, apply them before
plowing, so as to get them mixed with
the soil. A. F. J. B.

ARE THEY THE CHAMPIONS?

Down in Paducah, Ky., there reside
two keen students of lost motion in
routine work. They are L». Weiss and
H. F. Droste, two growers, who came
out of Germany, landed in Kentucky
and then proceeded to show their speed.
By eliminating all the unnecessary hand
and arm movements in benching carna-
tions, for instance, Messrs. Weiss and
Droste have hung up the record of
benching 3,000 carnations in an hour
and fifteen minutes, which is 2,400
plants in one hour for the two men.
Messrs. Weiss and Droste do not* con-
sider themselves the only pebbles on
the beach, but if any two men can beat
the record they will have to move
lively.

Mr. Weiss and Mr. Droste are em-
ployed by Schmaus Bros., of Paducah,
who operate one of the largest and
most up-to-date ranges in the Blue Grass
state. The accompanying illustration

How to Plan the Center.

This letter and the accompanying

from a southern city, where there is,
]u'ihaps, the maximum excuse for sum-
mer neylect of sales possil)ilities, al-
though it is in winter one of the best

resent stone and plaster. The mill
also is of cardboard, with wood braces
inside whiidi hold the mechanism. The
Italcony and wings are of wood, about
one-eighth of an inch in thickness,
staineii anticiue. The roof of the mill
is imitation of red tile.

"Great care should be taken to liavo
the buildings, figures, animals, etc., in

l)ossible.

"The backgrouinl, with sunset sky
coloring, is jtainted with water colors
on cotton cloth. The elevation of the
giound is a staging of wood and wire
netting covered with green moss. A
galvanized iron tank 4% -^ 7 feet, with
a depth of ten inches, serves to hold
the water in the poncl, with a 1-inch
outlet in the corner. The tank is hid-
den inside and outside with rocks and
green moss. Small crotons, fancy ca-
ladiums ami various ferns are used be-
tween tlie ro(d\s in front of the pond.
Kuonymus, tall crotons, boxwood, arbor-
vitu' and araucarias are grouped on
the sides. Xo palms are used in the

Dianthus.

There are some beautiful members
of the dianthus family. All are low-
habited and quite hardy, and they
flower freely each year. The most
popular is the old, delightfully scented -
mound or spice pink. D. plumarius,
procurable in a variety of colors and
easily propagated from layers, divisions
and cuttings; Her Majesty, double
white, and Napoleon III, double crim-
son, are all good border varieties.

D. barbatus, the well-known sweet
William, is usually treated as a bien-
nial, but lasts for several years. The
seed should be sown now, in order to
have strong flowering plants next June.
Specially fine varieties are Sutton's
Scarlet, Sutton's Pink Beauty, which
has been given several other names,
such as Newport Beauty, and the true
auricula-eyed type. In a mixed packet
of sweet Williams almost every plant
will be distinct. For bedding or mass
effects separate colors are preferable.
Dianthus diadematus, the diadem pink,
is another free and persistent-flowering
variety. Of the smaller-flowered varie-
ties adaptable for borderings or rock
gardens, the several forms of D. del-
toicjes are flne. D. carmineus is even
better; in fact, it is the finest of all
the border pinks. Its rich, rosy pink
flowers are produced in perfect sheets
and it rivets attention at once in any
garden.

Aconitunui.

Not so well known as the delphin-
iums, but fully as stately and striking
when well grown, are the aconitums,
or monkshoods. The bulk of the spe-
cies flower in late summer, when the
delphiniums are on the wane. One or
two varieties bloom extremely late, but
A, bicolor blooms as early as June,
bearing blue and white flowers. A.
Napellus is the best knowq variety.
There are several colors of this, vary-
ing from pure white to the darkest
blue. These are at their best in August
and September, and under specially fa-
vorable conditions they attain a height
of eight or nine feet. A. Fischeri, with
pale blue flowers in September, is quite
dwarf, only attaining a height of two
to three feet. A. Wilsonii, one of the
newest varieties, is also a September
and October bloomer. Its flowers are
violet blue. It is of vigorous habit and
attains a height of six feet in any good
garden soil. The aconitums are all
splendid for cutting. They have bet-
ter keeping qualities than the delphin-
iums. They can be propagated from
seeds or divisions of the roots.

Iris Gtorihanlca.

Much better results would be

achieved if the planting of irises were

done earlier than is customary. The

usual plan is to wait until October,

November or April, but, while the Ger-
man irises are accommodating subjects
and withstand much neglect and abuse,
if they can be transplanted in August
they will give vastly better results
than when the work is delayed until
colder weather or until spring. They
are among the perennials which flower
with many people for Memorial day,
but quite apart from that they are
splendid perennials either in solid beds,
in masses, or dotted in mixed perennial
borders. Some fine varieties are now
being raised by hybridization and there
are great possibilities for improvement
in this line. The following varieties
are not ne#- and Tare inexpensive, but
are thoroughly reliable: Glory of Hille-
gom, I. pallida Dalmatica, Mme. Che-
reau, Mrs. H. Darwin, Bridesmaid,
Queen of May, I. flavescens, I. Floren-
tina alba, I. aurea, Gracchus, Princess

Victoria Louise and Due de Nemours.
There are many other fine sorts, but
the foregoing are all dependable. The
pallida selection is unquestionably the
best.

liUscellaneous Irises.

The new race of intermediate irises,
crosses between I. Germanica and the
dwarf I. pumila, flower earlier than I.
Germanica, are dwarfer and produce
flowers varying in color from pure
white to clear lavender. They are well
worthy of trial. Iris orientalis, violet
blue, and I. orientalis Snow Queen,
pure white, producing spikes two to
three feet high in June, are splendid
irises for the border. They also do
well in low, swampy ground. They are
splendid for cutting; so is the Siberian
iris, I. Sibirica, which can be had in
pale blue, deep blue and pure white
colors.

All these irises are of easy culture
and will grow and flower satisfactorily
in sunshine or shade, in dry or moist
land. For early flowering the little
I. cristata and I. pumila should always
be planted. Too few florists appre-
ciate the value of Iris Anglica and I.
Hispanica for cutting. Both are per-
fectly hardy and, being inexpensive,
they should be planted much more
widely. In clumps in the herbaceous
border they are effective. The Spanish
iris flowers a week earlier than the
English. The flowers of the latter are
larger and carried on stouter stems.
Both are splendid for cutting.

CANNA LA FAYETTE,

Speaking of cannas, we have been
particularly impressed with the novelty
La Fayette. We have a 6-foot bed of
this canna in our trial planting, and,
while it is rather early to come to
definite decisions, it certainly seems to
be far the best red canna with green
leaves that there is in commerce. We
have added some fifty varieties to our
test of 100 varieties we grew last
season, including most of the new
varieties, and we feel we are in po-
sition to judge something of their
merits, Floyd Bralliar,

"ALL ABOARD FOK TEXAS,"

Did I hear every fiorist who reads
this say that? If not, why not? We
want to see all of you in the land of
sunshine and plenty. We want to show
you our beauty and our greatness. Do
not say it is too hot, too far south in
the summer. Nay, verily. We have no
sunstrokes or heat prostrations in Texas.
Even our soldier boys 400 to 600 miles
farther south have no sunstrokes. They
always have an ocean breeze in Hous-
ton, so cut your way out over the heat,
pack your grip and come; let us show
you we make good hosts.

Besides, the fast increasing demand
for plants and flowers here rtiakes it im-
perative for us to get together and. as
a body adjust our grievances, talk over
excessive freight charges, overappraise-

ments for taxation and some unneces-
sary laws our legislative bodies are
making and will make, as though the
greenhouse stock created diseases and
disseminated insects and pests that
stalked forth as vultures upon every-
thing living upon the face of the earth.
Preparedness is the word. So let us
get together as the S. A. F. should do,
as a body, and unite upon a fixed pur-
pose to protect and improve ourselves as
a body.

Come on, you florists, and tell us how
you so easily become millionaires and
men of so much leisure! Look over our
shortcomings and give us brotherly ad-
vice as to how and what to do. We
expect all of you. We know a great
many southern florists will be here, but
we want to see you men from Maine,
Massachusetts, New York, Washington,
etc. Do not disappoint our expectant
brothers.

Come and see the flora of the south.
Look at our rice and sugar plantations,
orange and fig orchards, cotton, wheat
and corn ranches and cattle that cover
thousands of acres; see our forests,
where the sound of the ax has never
been heard. Besides, Houston is one of
the best little cities in the U. S. Test
the hospitality which knows no bounds.
Everything will be yours. You need
not ask for it, but just help yourselves.

value. See her sea wall, her fine beach,
the finest in the United States; water
warm, surf mild, slope gentle, space un-
limited and free from sharks!

We cannot show you a Bunker Hill,
but we have the San Jacinto battle
ground, dear to every old Texan, where
Texas won her freedom.

Do not worry over the war; Mexicans
never will cross the border. Neither
will your coming or going be interrupt-
ed by Uncle Sam's moving troops. The
passenger service has never been and
will not be interfered with in any way.

The S. A. F. convention always has
been held in the east until last season,
when it went west, and this year, when
it comes to God's country, in the great
state of Texas, city of Houston. We
are your colaborers and you owe it to
us and to yourselves, and to the society,
to come and let us reason together for
our mutual benefit. Besides, we want
to meet you personally, and to let you
know we are your friends.

Besides all this, the towns, the prod-
ucts, the customs and our Jim Crow
law will all be of interest to you. Come
and see us where we do not lock our
houses, sleep in the open, share the hos-
pitality and chivalry of the typical
southern man in his own home. We want
to have you meet our beautiful wives
and sweethearts, whom we all love and
admire as we do our mothers.

Houston will take care of you and we
country florists will be on the job also,
making you thrice welcome. We will
send you home with pleasant memories
and a longing in your hearts to leave
the frigid north and come where sun-
shine eternal reigns and flowers never
cease to bloom.

THE ADVANCE GUARD.

The advance guard of the S. A. F.
army which is preparing the August in-
vasion already is in Texas, aa the ac-
companying illustration shows. John
Young, secretary of the S. A. F., annu-
ally spends the month preceding the
convention in the convention city, ar-
ranging the details, and Martin Reu-
kauf is there calling on Texas customers
and arranging for the Bayersdorfer dis-
play at the convention. The photog-
rapher caught them on the beach at Gal-
veston, described in the publicity stuff
as "the playground of all Texas." It
is only fifty miles from Houston. Sec-
retary Young had just completed a tour
of northern Texas and reports southern
hospitality as living up to its reputa-
tion.

MUMS IN, THE SOUTH.

During the hot summer months, in the
south, chrysanthemums require much
attention. They will take at least one
good watering every day and several
sprayings. The idea is to keep the at-
mosphere in the house quite damp and
80 avoid all wilting of the foliage dur-
ing the hot part of the day. In using
the spray it always is well to spray
from every walk. If you continually
spray from one side you will find that
the foliage on the plants on the far
side of the table will become puny
and the flowers later will be deficient in
substance. Any black fly on the plants
must be got rid of by spraying with
one of the nicotine solutions. See to it
that as the plants grow they are kept
neatly supported and not allowed to
fall over and become crooked.

The First of the Convention Visitors Arrive at the Gulf Shore in Texas.

The first week of August is a good
time to do some fertilizing. For this
purpose I like to apply, first, a liberal
sprinkling of bone meal, followed by
a top-dressing of lime, and then an inch
or more of cow manure that is not too
old. The lime will make the bone meal
available in suflSeient time to benefit
the opening buds. Fertilized in this
manner, the beds will require but few
liquid applications after the bud is
taken. L.

PAIHTINO OBEENHOUSES.

This is the time of year when green-
houses can be painted with the least in-
convenience, since many of the houses
are being prepared to receive plants now
growing out of doors. Labor can also be
transferred from other work to painting
with the least possibility of neglecting
more important duties.

The first consideration is the paint
itself, because if the material is inferior,
poor results may be expected. Labor
constitutes perhaps eighty per cent of
the cost and it is therefore obvious that
the materials must be the best ob-
tainable, in order to postpone repaint-
ing for the longest possible time.

A paint for greenhouses should be
made especially for the purpose, as this
class of work demands many qualities
not found in ordinary exterior or in-
terior paints. First of all, it should

produce a pure white, glossy surface,-
or in other words, one that will en-
hance the lighting. A paint film of this
character will insure a stronger growth
and a greater abundance of blooms.
A glossy surface will also shed water
and dirt more easily than a paint with
an eggshell or flat finish.

Next, a greenhouse paint should pro-
tect the sashbars, providing they are
wood, from mold or mildew, which, if
permitted to form, will not only darken
the interior, but in time will cause
decay. Good paints designed for green-
house work contain 'a certain percent-
age of a chemical which prevents fun-
gous growths.

The paint should also have sufficient
body so that one coat will answer for
repainting jobs. It should brush out
easily, so that the work can be done
speedily. In the event that the paint
is too heavy, thin to a working con-
sistency with turpentine.

Whether of iron or wood, all gutters,
posts and spouts should be painted
once a year to prevent deterioration.
A paint having a refined asphalt base
is best adapted to either wood or metal.
One coat should be applied with a heavy
brush, being careful to fill all cracks
and to cover the surface thoroughly.

Paint prevents rust on steam pipes
and stacks; therefore they will last
longer and look better if kept well

painted. Either an asphalt or graphite
paint of the heat-resisting type may be
used for this purpose.

Don't spare the paint. Use it freely,
for it costs less in the long run to keep
your buildings painted than it does to

permit them to remain unpainted. One
takes pride in the character of flowers
and plants he grows and he should take
the same standpoint regarding the ap-
pearance of his buildings.

Nearly every man has a hobby. S. J.
Goddard, of Framingham, Mass., spe-
cializes in • carnations, but grows ge-
raniums and fuchias to standard
shapes as a hobby — a profitable hobby,
when $15 per pair is not an unusual
figure for plants 1 year old. . The
approach and residence were adorned
with these, which also formed an ave-
nue leading to the greenhouses.. Sev-
eral varieties are grown, but Mr. God-
dard informs me that J. J. Harrison
makes the finest specimen. The fuch-
sias reminded me of the grand speci-
mens grown by the Robert Craig Co.
and seen only before the Craig group
was staged at the National Flower
Show at Philadelphia. I noted a beau-
tiful specimen of Acer Negundo varie-
gatum near the Goddard residence. Mr.
Goddard pointed out some land ad-
joining his property, which he had
purchased as a result of the excellent
business and market conditions during
the last season. Carnations were look-
ing fine; Matchless, Sensation, Benora,
Beacon, Nancy and his own crimson,
Doris, will be the standard bearers in
the fall campaign. Pink Delight will
be seen in smaller quantity.

J. T. Butterworth, of Framingham,
is a lover of antiques and points with
pride to his first house, built in 1848
and apparently good for an indefinite
period. "It was the foundation of our
orchid business and the key to our
success," observed the genial founder,
whom I found enveloped in a Turkish
robe. An invitation to inspect the
choice collection of orchids was irre-
sistible, and when one considers that
this is a commercial and not a private

establishment, greater credit is due the
grower, who is ably assisted by his son,
George. I cainnot go into detail as to
the description and merits of the vari-
ous gems in the orchid family flourish-
ing there, but my good old friend,
H. A. Barnard, of Stuart Low & Co.,
London, once said he would like to
send a grower oyer to get some points
on orchid cultivaition, and Walter Gott,
of Sander & Sons, St. Albans, on a re-
cent visit exclaimed: "Ach, Friend
Butterworth, but you are some grow-
er I" From this our confreres can im-
agine what may be seen on a visit to
some of the oldest houses in New Eng-
land,^ which contain the finest and choic-
est orchid stock that can be grown.

H. L. X]!randell, of Glens Falls, has no
* ' kick coming. ' ' He is one of the most
sanguine members of the craft.

Henry Bensel, of Ballston, N. Y., re-
cently remodeled the front of his range,
adding an ofSce and workroom twenty-
five feet square. It is an attractive
addition to the block of houses
adjoining.

Mathews & Varney, of Schenectady,
N. Y., have dissolved partnership.
G. W. Mathews remains with the hew
concern, to be known as the Mohawk
Greenhouses, which have been reor-
ganized under the most auspicious con-
ditions.

Julius W. Eger, a Schenectady man,
has added a nursery to his flourishing
business. The location of the land is
fine for advertising purposes.

The Rosendale Flower Shop, Schenec-
tady, has had fine displays of Spanish
irises. These have been popular this
season. W, M.

IS IT THE BEOOBD SWEET PEA?

Here is a sweet pea that is claimed
as the record. It is the variety Fiery
Cross that already held one record, W.
Atlee Burpee having paid more for
the original stock in England than ever
before had been paid for a sweet pea
novelty. The specimen illustrated was
grown by Victor May, gardener at The
Reef, Newport, R. I., and exhibited be-
for the Newport Horticultural Society
July 11. The 18-inch stem carried ten
blooms, the fully developed flowers be-
ing two inches across. Mr. May re-
ceived a certificate of merit for cul-
ture.

BOSTON.

The Market.

The supplies of cut flowers are greatly
reduced as compared with those of a
week ago. The demand, however, is
comparatively light, but nearly suffi-
cient to clean up arrivals. The markets
present a holiday-like appearance. Many
stands are deserted and quite a few
growers are sending in nothing at all.
Roses have shortened up materially and
the quality has declined. Fewer young
roses than usual are being planted this
season, owing to the difficulty in secur-
ing labor and then the expense of the
labor. Such roses as are arriving clean
up tolerably well, the bulk making 50
cents to $4 per hundred. There is a
decided slump in the supply of carna-
tions and there are eager inquiries for
asters. The few asters arriving from
outdoors have readily realized $2 per
hundred, but the wet weather in early
summer caused heavy losses in plants.

Sweet peas are deteriorating in qual-
ity; continued rains have badly dam-
aged many of them. Gladioli are ar-
riving from outdoors, chiefly Pink
Beauty and America. Gypsophilas,
sweet sultans, cornflowers, salpiglossis,
cosmos, stocks and other outdoor flow-
ers are seen. Lilies and valley sell
slowly. Some nice speciosum and aura-
tum lilies are arriving and prove useful
in window decorations. There is a fair
supply of Cattleya Gaskelliana, Dendro-
bium formosum and other orchids.

View of the Bar Harbor Sweet Pea Show> Reported Last Week, Looking Toward the Stage.

Owing to the frequent drenching
rains we have had right through the

E resent summer, many growers report
eavy losses in the fields of asters and
carnations. One grower reports the loss
of 20,000 asters and others who used
low land are also suffering heavily.

Various Notes.

The principal event of local horti-
cultural importance this week is the
annual picnic of the Gardeners' and
Florists* Club, to be held at Cunning-
ham park, East Milton, July 27. There
are no less than twenty-eight athletic
events on the list of sports, including
three baseball games and one soccer
football game. An excellent list of
prizes has been secured and only fine
weather is needed to make the affair
a pronounced success. W. J. Kennedy
will act as ringmaster, P. M. Miller as
starter and W. N. Craig as clerk. Um-
pires for baseball and football games
are Frank Edgar, A. K. Rogers and J.
P. A. Guerineau. The judges are Eber
Holmes, F. E. I^^lpieiy Charles Holbi^ov,
Robert Cameroh, X G. Ihiguid, W. j.
Patterson, H. H. Bartsch, W. C. Rust,
W. H. Judd, A. K. Rogers, George W.
Hamer, Frank Edgar %nd Kenneth Fin-
layson.

George Dunn, of Galvin's Park street
store, is spending his vacation in Maine.
Patrick Moran is at Cape Cod; Thomas
"Welch in New Hampshire and William
Henderson at Nantucket. Mr. Galvin
is at his cottage at Nantucket. Half
the employees now leave at 5 p. m. and
the balance at 6 p. m. Closing hour
Saturdays now is 7 p. m. Galvin's had
all the elaborate decorations for the
national convention of the A. O. H.,
which had -headquarters at the Copley
Plaza hotel.

At the store of Patrick Welch I noted
fine bunches of the newer astilbes, such
as Cerei, Philadelphia, Pink Beauty,

ceived 40,000 roses this week, which
he will use in filling up some of his
houses. The Boston Cooperative Marr
ket the coming season will be strong on
roses, with such prominent growers as

Miss Beatrice Wishinski, bookkeeper
for H. M. Robinson & Co., left July 22
for her vacation, part of which will be
spent at Manchester, N. H., and the
remainder at Bar Harbor, Me.

W. A. McAlpine, of McAlpine & Mc-
Donald, is feeling quite elated. It is
a bouncing boy, born July 22.

Stephen S. Green, a prominent sales-
man at the Flower Exchange, started
on his vacation July 24, to be spent at
Chebeague island, Casco bay. Me.

The New York Florists' Club has in-
vited members of the Gardeners' and
Florists' Club of Boston to join them
on their trip to the Houston convention,
leaving New York August 9 on a
steamer of the Southern Pacific line.
Round-trip tickets, including all steamer
and railroad charges, but not meals on
trains, cost $80. At present it looks
like a small representation from here
to Houston.

Joseph T. White, late of Doyle's staff
in Boston, now is managing John H.
Stalford's fine store for the summer at
Bar Harbor, Me., where a splendid busi-
ness is being done. The annuals and
perennials shown here are wonderfully
fine.

At Welch's, 280 Devonshire street,
gladioli now are a great feature. Busi-
ness has settled down to a midsummer
basis. >-

Penn's duck pond continues to at-
tract crowds of visitors. July 22, one

The Twin City Florists and their Families on their Annual Outing» Held July 19, at White Bear Lake.

Bobert Laurie, for some time green-
house manager for R. & J. Farquhar &
Co., at the Dedham nuraeries, left July
25 for Mentor, O., where he will assume
the management of the Mentor Nur-
series. Mr, Laurie's many friends wish
him every success in his new position.

Local gladiolus specialists are making
every effort to have a record-breaking
exhibition when the American Gladiolus"
Society meets in Boston, August 11 to
13. Thanks to the copious and frequent
rains, gladioli this season are wonder-
fully vigorous.

Bar Harbor, Me., is one spot where'
window boxes are largely used. Gera-
niums are the favorite plants, but I
noted lobelias, petunias, marguerites
and other flowering plants. John H.
Stalford, of Ihe Malvern Greenhouses,
at Bar Harbor, informed me that he
had filled and sold 5,000 feet run of
window boxes this season.

I regret to say that Jackson Daw-
son's health does not show any improve-
ment. Mr. Dawson, while in his sev-
enty-fifth year, has hitherto always
been remarkably active, and he is much
missed by Arboretum visitors. We all
hope he soon will be out again.

Mr. and Mrs. P. M. Miller returned
July 25 from a visit to Bar Harbor
and Kennebunk Port, Me.

The Welch Bros. Co. will vacate its
present quarters during the summer and
will locate, until they can find a suit-
able street floor site, below P. Welch's,
262 Devonshire street.

The Houghton-Gorney Co. keeps its
windows attractive all the time. July
22 I noted pleasing arrangements of
salpiglossis, sweet sultans, gladioli,

The Twin-City Outing.

The Twin-City florists' picnic was
the big feature of last week. The an-
nual outing was held at Wildwood,
White Bear lake, July 19. As this year
the choice of the grounds favored St.
Paul, Wildwood was selected, and it
proved an ideal picnic spot. The Min-

neapolis crowd had two chartered cars,
leaving Minneapolis at 8:50 a. m. Two
chartered cars carried the St. Paulites,
leaving St. Paul at 9:45 a. m. The
St. Paul crowd arrived at the grounds
and had things in readiness when the
Minneapolis cars arrived. On arrival
lunch baskets were disposed of and the
sports program was carried out. As
the weather was favorable, swimming
and boating were freely indulged in and
the various places of amusement were
well patronized. Dancing was con-
tinued until 9 o'clock, when the last
of the picnickers were homeward bound.
Everyone had an enjoyable time and
all pronounced it a rattling good day.

William Thomas Logan.

William Thomas Logan died at his
residence on Brighton street, Eochester,
N. Y., July 19, at the age of 67 years.
He had been identified with the seed
business of Rochester for more than
thirty years. During part of that time
he was connected with James Viek's
Sons and with Mandeville, King & Co.,
and later he was manager of the retail
seed store of Crosman Bros. Co., on
East Main street. Eighteen months
ago he purchased the seed business at
this store, but retained the Crosman
name, and found it to be a profitable
business. He was a d^p student and
had a profound knowledge of the seed
trade, and hundreds of citizens are
grateful to him for valuable informa-
tion and advice which he kindlV sup-
plied. Many business men have spoken
of his integrity and his high bumness
ideals. To his family, his social (/ircle,
his church and the city his death is a
distinct loss. He was identified from
boyhood with the Second Baptist
church and held many church offices,
especially in connection with the Sun-
day school. For several years he had
served the church as its treasurer. He
lived in Rochester all his life. His
wife died about eight years ago.

The funeral service was conducted by
the Rev. Herbert Rust, July 21. There
was a wonderful display of flowers, in-
cluding a beautiful wreath sent by the
Rochester Florists' Association. The
body was cremated, in accordance with
his special request. It is understood
that the business will be discontinued,
as there is no one in the family to carry
it on. He is survived by one brother,
George W. Logan, manager of the Na-
tional Casket Co., Boston, Mass., and
by two sisters, Mrs. Isabella Scott, of
New York, and Miss M. Frances Logan,
school principal in Rochester.

H. J. H.

MUchael Donohue.

Michael Donohue, for more than a
quarter of a century employed as a gar-
dener at Roger "Williams park. Provi-
dence, R. I., died at his home, 114
Althea street, Saturday, July 15, after
a week 's illness. He was born in Ire-
land in 1855 and while a young man
he crossed to this country and settled
in Cumberland, Me., where he married
Miss Margaret Kenney. He removed
to Providence thirty-two years ago and
was engaged all that time in gardening.

W. H. M.

Bobert W. Hutchinson.

R. W. Hutchinson, aged 53 years, for
many years a landscape gardener for
the Pennsylvania lines, west, died sud-
denly July 18 while at Palm Beach,
Fla. Mr. Hutchinson was born at Terre
Haute, Ind., in 1862. In 1881 he was
employed by the railroad as brakeraan,
but four years later he was appointed
gardener. He had resided in Sewickley
since 1886. The body was brought to
Sewickley for burial.

G. M. Boney.

George M. Roney, of Roney Bros., of
the Harmony Road Greenhouses, at
West Grove, Pa., met a tragic death

William T. Logan.

July 21. He was working under his
boiler, when one of the sections fell
over against him in such a way as to
break his neck. Death evidently was
instantaneous. Roney Bros, have long
done an excellent business, mainly in a
wholesale way, and have enjoyed a
reputation for thoroughly good stock
and honest dealings. George M., who
was the younger of the two brothers
who constituted the firm, is succeeded
in the business by Albert. The de-
ceased was born in 1864, was in good
health and will be greatly mourned by
a wide circle of friends.

FORT WAYNE, IND.

The Market.

The florists reported business exceed-
ingly dull last week, with little demand
for cut flowers outside of funeral work.
The weather has continued extremely
hot, the government thermometer regis-
tering 93 degrees in the shade. Several
prostrations from heat were reported
of men employed in the different green-
houses of the city. The hot weather
has not improved the general quality of
cut flowers, particularly greenhouse-
grown stock. The roses open too quick-
ly. Carnations are scarce and of small
proportions. Short roses are plentiful,
but the local market is dull and the
shipping trade is only slightly better.

Easter lilies are in good supply and
their quality is fine. There also are
excellent giganteum and auratum lilies
in the market. Gladioli are beginning
to predominate and are coming to the
market in every variety. Asters are im-
proving in quality and are more plenti-
ful. It is reported that the local dahlia
crop will be poor and small. Outdoor
flowers continue to arrive in large quan-
tities and they are of good quality.

Vacations are in order at present and

many of the local florists are away on
lake trips.

Various Notes.

S. Hudson, the orchid expert with
W. J. & M. S. Vesey, will return from
Washington, D. C, this week. Mr.
Hudson has been superintending the
packing of the orchid plants which Will
J. Vesey, Jr., purchased from George
Fields. The last car of orchids arrived
July 17.

W. J. & M. S. Vesey are benching
the young rose and carnation stock.
They are cutting good Shawyer roses
and Easter lilies.

W. L. Rundles returned to this city
last week from Champaign, 111., where
he received his degree of bachelor of
science in landscape architecture at the
university. Mr. Rundles has the honor
of being the first Indiana man to re-
ceive this degree.

David S. Vesey, associated with Alex.
W. Collier, has started a new moving-
picture theater.

Robert E. Davis, the gladiolus spe-
cialist of 3000 Bowser avenue, is send-
ing some handsome specimens to the
local mark^.

Mr. and Mrs. Edward Markey are
expected home this week from Whit-
more lake, Mich., where they have
been visiting relatives for the last two
weeks.

Miss Mildred Flick, in company with
her aunt, Miss Clara B. Flick, of the
Patten Flower Shop, Toledo, O., is plan-
ning to leave the first part of August
for an extended northern lake trip.
Miss Helen Patten, of Toledo, O., who
has been away a month on a trip to
the Pacific coast, has returned home.

The Flick Floral Co. has filled a large
order of palms and ferns for the Coun-
try Club house.

H. Wright, of the Wright gladiolus
farm, is bringing in some excellent cut
blooms. R. F.

Results i)ring advertising.
The Review brings results.

A FLORIST is known, not by the com-
pany but by the customers he keeps.

Some florists never find out which side
their bread is buttered on until they
drop it.

It has got so that many people con-
sider the fact that a concern is adver-
tising in The Review as a good credit
reference.

The medical men nowadays do not rely
as much on nostrums as on pure air, pure
food, the right food and right living. The
plant doctors would do well to take a leaf
out of the same book.

The Agricultural Appropriation bill, as
amended and passed by the Senate, con-
tains an item of $3,000 for cooperation
with horticultural organizations in the
standardization of botanical names.

There is a much larger production than
usual this summer of outdoor flowers
grown by the trade for cutting. Excel-
lent profits made last summer have caused
many to plant outdoor stock for their
own retail trade and for wholesaling.
Thus far sales have been ready, but
prices have not been high.

The florists ' supplies houses have every
confidence in a record season, for which
their preparations are well under way.
Factory facilities at home have been de-
veloped to produce the stock which can
no longer be imported and foreign lands
that are open have been drawn on heav-
ily. The supplies men are believers in
the power of ^^jf^^jlips ^o ^^L t|^^^
and are urging We jinaHers ta^dl'^thib
public know about the fine acces8<)tie8
now provided with flowers and plants.

^ 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.
Lutz. E. li., Boonville, Ind.

TWO YEARS.
Crockford, H. "W., Wlnthrop, Mass.
Forest Hill Gardens, Richmond, Va.
Valley Greenhouse Co., Sewlckley, Pa.
Sinclair, E., Coeur d'Alene, Idaho.
Brandlein, H., Indianapolis, Ind.
Worth, H., West Lafayette, Ind.
Schaefer, W. A., Plattevllle, Wis.

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.

THE REASON FOR IT.

A great many people, including pub-
lishers in other lines of trade, have ex-
pressed surprise at the large number of
letters The Review receives like these:

Please' take out myvSd until further notice;
I had to send back several orders this week, one
of them a large order. — Clarence Alwlne, Aldan,
Pa.. July 10, 1918.

Please discontinue my ad ; one Insertion cleaned
me out.-— Wise Adkisson, Greenville, Tex., July
10, 1016.

But the reason is simple and plain.

Here it is:

Enclosed find check for $3, for which send me
The Review for the next three years; I can't do
without it. I have tried two other periodicals
along our line, but I hold The Review above all.
— Ernest L. Lutz, Boonville, Ind., July 17, 1916.

That's why when you hear a man
complain of the cost of advertising you
can be pretty sure he spends a good bit
of money elsewhere than in The Re-
view.

AMERICAN QltADIOLUS SOCIETY.

The annual gladiolus exhibition of
the American Gladiolus Society will be
held in Horticultural hall, Boston, Au-
gust 11 to 13. The schedule has been

In class 87 the Garden Magazine of-
fers an "achievement medal," not the

Henry Youell, Sec'y. .

OHIOANS TO SHOW OLADIOU.

The fourth annual exhibition of the
Gladiolus Society of Ohio will be held
in the assembly rooms of the Hollen-
den hotel, Cleveland, O., Friday and
Saturday, August 18 and 19, Premium

tion should notify R. £. Huntington,
chairman of the executive committee
at Painesville, O., and state the num-
ber of vases or the space desired.

Wilbur A. Christy, Sec 'y and Treas.

MacNUT CASE EEPEY.

. The cable from London brought word
(jiirly this week that the British govern-
nest has at length made formal reply
to the President of the United States,
who protested at the delay in the mails

c&used by the British censorship, citing
as an instance the losses of the MacNiff
Horticultural Co., of New York, because
of the non-arrival of shipping docu-
ments covering imports of plants. In
an official announcement it is said:

"The MacNiff company complained
of the loss of perishable goods owing
to the detention by the censor of ship-
ping documents relating thereto. The
British government states that so soon
as the matter was brought to its atten-
tion it arranged to have a special mail
bag for shipping papers, which would
be immediately censored, so that no
delay would occur."

Alter detailing other cases, the note
continue.s :

"The specific complaints do not sup-
port the general charge against the effi-
ciency of the British censorship. * ♦ •
His Majesty's government will always
be ready to explain in detail the work-
ing of the censorship, as there is noth-
ing regarding it which they wish to
conceal. Many complaints,^ when ex-
amined, proved to arise from badly di-
rected letters, the irregular sailing of
neutral mail boats and other causes en-.
tirely outside the control of His Majes-
ty's government and are often due to
the action of enemies."

BUSINESS EMBARRASSMENTS.

Newark, O. — E. S. Brown, trustee for
Miller Greenhouses, in bankruptcy, will
sell at auction July 29 all the assets of
the going business. The land and build-
ings are appraised at $12,000; the eight
houses, containing 25,000 feet of glass,
have been planted up and are ready
for autumn.

Independence, Mo. — S. Bryson Ayres
has filed a petition in voluntary bank-
ruptcy. He schedules liabilities of
about $4,300 and only a few dollars of
personal property as assets. Of the
liabilities $2,500 is a judgment obtained
by the father of a minor employee who
was injured while operating Mr. Ayres'
automobile. A dozen creditors in the
trade have claims aggregating $1,800.

Boston, Mass. — A dispatch to the
Globe for July 20 said: "The O. H.
Dickinson Seed Co., Springfield, Mass.,
has been petitioned into bankruptcy at
the instance of three creditors whose
claims amount to $511."

CHICAGO.

The Market.

A week of even greater heat than
that of the one preceding has had the
eflfect of placing the market in fairly
good condition. Whereas, there was
a surplus of stock last week in prac-
tically all of the standard lines, the
unrelenting intensity of the heat has at
last curbed production in a marked de-
gree. Carnations are received in such
negligible numbers that they are no
longer worth considering. So close are
supply and demand under present con-
ditions that a cool day now and then
would place the whole market on the
short side. All this, however, does not
mean that business is unusually good;
it means only that there is enough busi-
ness to take care of nearly all the avail-
able supply, without much waste, and
that average prices therefore are con-
siderably improved.

Yon will find AT AMLING'S a
good supply of Summer Flowers

T IS AN OLD-FASHIONED and out-of-date idea
that people will not buy flowers in summer — we
know, because our customers are selling increased
quantities each Summer. So we arranged for a
large supply, this summer, of the best quality

possible under the conditions, and we can supply YOU as

well as those already ordering of us.

GIGANTEUM.
$10 00 par 100

LILIES

AURATUM,
$1.50 per doz.

These offer the largest show for the money any flower will make
in summer. You can use them for almost every purpose, and you
will do well to carry some always in stock, as we do.

FANCY ASTERS

In spite of the dry weather, that has ruined many a crop, we
offer good Asters — long stems, large, full flowers, grown under ir-
rigation; all colors. We shall be glad to have you try them, for
we know you will want more.

FANCY ROSES

You will find it easy to keep up a summer business if you use
such Roses as our Russell, Milady, Sunburst, Ophelia, Ward, Bril-
liant, etc. We have the largest supply of Roses in this market, the
largest in America. Quality excellent for the time of year.

FANCY GLADIOU

Our Glads are grown by a specialist — a grower who grows for
cut blooms only — they are not the by-product of a bulb-grower.
Consequently, we have the best cut flower varieties only.

A NOVELTY GREENS

Bachelor's Buttons, in two Don't forget that Amling's

shades of pink and several other always is headquarters for
colors; 50c to $1.00 per 100. fancy' cut ferns.

LILY OF THE VALLEY

We can supply all the Valley you need— on telegraph order if need be, but
why not arrange for regular shipments, so YOU will always have some
on hand ?

length Beauties are reaching the mar-
ket and sell well. The heat has, how-
ever, hurt rose stock in general. The
greater part of the stock that is being
sent to the market is arriving too open.
Though the quality of Russell has de-
teriorated in the last few days, it is
still the best rose "in the market. Sun-
burst, too, is proving a good summer
rose. As to Ophelia, there is a differ-
ence of opinion. Some maintain it pops
open under pressure of hot weather;
others just as stanehly assert that it
does not. Killarney Brilliant and
Milady are good summer sellers, the lat-
ter in spite of the old belief that red
is not a hot weather color.

Perhaps as a result of the dearth of
hot weather weddings, valley is in-
clined to drag. Easter lilies, on the
other hand, are in better demand as a
natural consequence of the shortening
in othfcr lines. A lacger number of
funerals than usual last week placed
cattleyas well on the short side. Sweet,
peas are about done for, though a few
are to be found on the market. Daisies,
too, are receding into the shadows.
Snapdragon moves well. Recording to
some growers, the supply of gladioli
has been reduced about forty per cent
by the heat. The fact remains that
whatever reaches the market is moved.
Garden flowers, particularly gypsophila,
are moving well. Asters are still far
from numerous and sell readily; the
heat and drought have done great dam-
age to the plants. Dahlias are yet
scarce. Auratum lilies may be had in
limited quantities.

Greens, of which there is an ample
supply, are moving slowly. Plumosus
is more than abundant.

The Prospect.

The wholesale houses that months
ago planned for the summer now are
preparing for a record August business.
The first part of July was nothing to
brag about for anyone, although some
of the wholesalers scored excellent

they ever have experienced, in spite of
the fact that there will be more roses
in this market than in any previous
August,

Various Notes.

The only peonies still in cold storage
are those of Klehm's Nursery, The
quantity put up was about the same as
last year, but the cut was about ten
days later than usual, Kyle & Foerster
say there still is an excellent demand,
but that the last of the crop will not
be sold until late in August, W. P,
Kyle, in his new Mercer, and Joseph
Toerster, in his big Moline-Knight,
■with their families, drove to Crystal
Lake July 23 and visited Frank
Schramm.

C, L, Washburn, of Bassett & Wash-
burn, is receiving congratulations on
the birth of his third grandson, July 24.

The new member of the firm is the third
son of E, B. Washburn, of Pasadena,
Cal.

A quartette of retailers, L. R.
Bohannon, of the Bohannon Floral Co.;
Victor Bergman, of O. J. Friedman's;
Lewis Bunt, of the E. Wienhoeber Co.,
and Walter Adams, started into Wis-
consin last week on an outing, their
progress being marked by the stream of
souvenir post-cards sent home to their
friends in the market.

Last week John Michelsen, of the
E. C. Amling Co., spent a couple of
days at McHenry, 111., where John
Miller extends the glad hand to all
florists who visit the lakes and his
greenhouses. Mr. Michelsen says he
considers business to have been better
during the last fortnight than during
any similar protracted hot spell in the
history of this market.

Next week work will be begun on en-

larging the George Wienhoeber store.
When the alterations are completed the
place will be L-shaped, with an en-
trance on Monroe street as well as on
Wabash avenue. It also will be the
largest of the downtown stores, with
nearly 1,500 square feet of space on
the street floor.

That the year to come will be the
best in the history of the Chicago mar-
ket, and of the florists' trade generally,
is the belief of H. Van Gelder, presi-
dent of Percy Jones, Inc. Mr. Van
Gelder says he bases his belief on the
fact that the people generally are more
fully employed than ever before.

At the A. F. Amling greenhouses a
careful cost and income account is kept.
Each section is charged with the labor
and material used in it and with its
proportion of the general expenses. On
the other hand, it is credited with
every flower cut. Consequently it is

known with fair exactness what each
flower costs and there is no guesswork
about which varieties pay and which do
not. As a result, this is a place of
approximately half a million feet of
glass in which only seven varieties will
be grown for next season.

That it will be the middle of Au-
gust before the last of the peonies in
cold storage are cleaned up is the be-
lief of Erne & Klingel.

An automobile trip to Lard lake,
Wis., will be enjoyed next week by
George Kaspar, 4005 West Twenty-
sixth street.

One day last week A. E, Hunt, of
Evanston, left his new automobile, that
he has had but a few weeks, standing
in front of the Atlas block. A stranger
got into it and started north. A rather
exciting chase resulted, but the winding
roads of Lincoln park proved too much
for the police and Mr. Hunt is still
looking for his car.

Another man in the person of George
Gobel has been added to the store force
of the John Kruchten Co.

After suffering most severely with a
sprained ankle, D. D. P. Roy is again
able to be in his office.

A door has been placed in the north
wall of Zech & Mann's salesroom,
which gives the store both a Wabash
avenue and a Randolph street entrance.
AUie Zech returns from his vacation
July 30. Joe Eringer then takes a two
weeks' outing.

It has been found necessary to in-
crease the palm department of Poehl-

Sewickley district. As prearranged,
George Wessenauer and his committee
met the 9:20 train from the city and
escorted the visitors to Wessenauer 's,
the Florist. Shortly afterward fourteen
automobiles, carrying seventy-five en-
thusiastic gardeners, with Messrs.
Thompson and Curren on a motorcycle
in the vanguard, set out for the acres
of H. E. Ree, the first of the many
estates to be visited. After everybody
had admired the Italian gardeii and the
beautiful ornamentals, the party pro-
ceeded by auto to Franklin Farms, then
the estates of J. Stewart BroWn, Mrs.
W. Thaw, Henry Lee Mason, Jr., and
Mrs. Elizabeth Home. At the Home
place, where M. Curren is gardener, the
crowd was treated to refreshments. At
this point Neil McCallum, at the behest
of the president, spoke of the coming
show to be held next June in the
Duquesne Garden. The Garden Club of
Allegheny County is to "bear all the
burden," financial and executive, of the
show.

The repast was followed by visits to
several other fine estates in the district.
Later in the afternoon, while passing
through a shady trail, the entire party
bivouacked and partook of more re-
freshments. T. P. Langhans introduced
William Allen, of the Homewood ceme-
tery, who spoke further on the June
show. After Mr. Allen's speech a vote
of thanks was tendered to all who were
connected with the day's entertainment
and- the secretary was instructed to
write to the proprietors of the places
visited, thanking them i6r tte cour-

Just As You Buy Any of Your Store Equipment and Business Necessities

'pHE VIM DELIVERY CAR is strictly a business
* man's proposition! It is built from radiator to
rear axle for delivery work.

q The VIM DELIVERY CAR is everything that a
delivery car should be and has everything that a de-
livery car should have. Experience developed it.

q Graceful in design — super-normal in construction.

q "Classy" in appearance — ^powerful in performance.

q Efficient in service — economical in operation.

q It is complete — there are no extras of any kind to
buy; every detail essential to the perfect delivery
unit goes with it, including pride of ownership.

^Not a cent is paid for fancy "talking points"
— right construction and absolute efficiency are what
you pay for and what you get.

^ The merchant who buys it is getting a ear of
established prestige — not contributing toward an
experiment.

qThe VIM DELIVERY CAR was developed only
after years of careful study of the delivery of light
loads over long routes with frequent stops.

q**It stands up" and delivers every day in the year
irrespective of weather ^,or road conditioijs — and does
that economically — efficiently — quickly, dity or coun-
try.

fl$725 is its price — about the price of a good horse
and wagon. We can produce it at these figures only
because of our undeviating concentration on one
chassis and the immense output that makes us the
largest exclusive producers of delivery cars in the
world.

The lilarket.

The extreme heat makes it difficult
to get enough good flowers for the or-
ders when they come. This does not
mean that all good flowers bring full
price, for they don't; but then, when a
ripple of business ruffles the calm of
the summer sea it is often difficult to
get together the stock of good grade.
Asters are coming in more freely; they
are much in demand when good, but
the average quality is not up to the
mark. Gladioli are late — extremely late,
fully three weeks behind time. The
quantity is increasing, augmented, curi-
ously enough, by some greenhouse-
grown stock, with the probability that
high tide will not be reached until
August.

Easter lilies continue An important
factor. There are lots of them and
they sell about as well as anything else.
Kaiserin and My Maryland are the
mainstays in roses; some good flowers
of both are offered. Valley has been
disappointing. The quality of some of
the stock fully merits this brief com-
ment, though some of it is all right.
The rest of the market will be passed
without further description, excepting
to say that quite a little business is
done with the other flowers in the list,
but no one of them is as important as
those mentioned.

A Complete Change.

For the busy man — The sunken gar-
den in Fairmount park has been turned
into a lily pond.

For the commuter — A prominent
seedsman is authority for the story that
the position of landscape gardener at
Fairmount park, so well filled by the
late Ogilsby B. Paul, had been accepted
by a man wbotijg 't^^e ijs paore closely
identified with polo than with planta.
This story gained ground when our

sponsible, horticultural writer came out

in an article to the effect that you
could not be a landscape gardener in
Fairmount park unless your grandpapa
was a somebody, and that after all it
was not your fault who your grandpapa
might have been.

The oflice of the commissioners of
Fairmount park was tried without com-
plete success, so to Horticultural hall
itself the inquh-er went. There was an
atmosphere of work about the office of
the landscape gardener in Horticultural
hall, Fairmount park — work and cordi-
«lit^ andy pardon my saying it, ceti-
cence. It seemed perfectly clear, how-
ever, that Samuel N. Baxter Tree, com-
missioner of the city, is chief of the

department of horticulture pro tempore
and that the position of landscape gar-
dener has not been filled and possibly
may not be filled. Through the cour-
tesy of Mr. Baxter and of Xavier Esch-
mitt, under whose direction the work
was done, I am able to give the follow-
ing details. To them Mr. Eschmitt
would have added a full list of the
water lilies, had that been desired.

The sunken garden stretching from
Horticultural hall to Belmont avenue,
a distance of over 800 feet, for many
years has been planted with tropical
and soft-wooded plants in various de-
signs of striking color combinations.
Today it is a pool of water, thirty-four

Our paint is especially adapted to g^reenhonses.

The Moisture Will Not Get Under the Paint

The cost of the paint is small compared with the cost of the labor for putting it

which are designed to give continuous
and changing color effects. There are
early tulips, May tulips, rhododendrons,
Wichuraiana roses, digitalis, campan-
ulas, retinosporas, etc. The position of
each variety is planned with extreme
care. The effect of the whole is of a
lake in a garden.

The loyalty of those who have carried
out this plan, understood to have been
made by Mr. Paul last year, causes them
to point out that it is a type of ever-
changing beauty that can never tire.
It is intended to be a permanent rather
than a temporary arrangement. Per-
sonally I have some doubts regarding
the innovation. The lake will be beau-
tiful for possibly two or three months
in the year, but it cannot hope to rival
the garden beyond that time.

Various Notes.

Recent visitors included George As-
mus, of Chicago; Carl Baum and Mrs.
Baum, of Knoxville, Tenn,; W. W. Gib-

Edward Reid returned July 20 from
two weeks in the south. The rising of
the Catawba river that took away the

There has been another week of in-

lack of demand for cut flowers, except
for funeral pieces. The market now is

Prices at this date already are down

Sweet peas have been cast into the dis-

only the best hereafter. The Season-
able outdoor flowers are as abundant

summer.

There is no surplus of the high-grade
roses. Shipments are lighter and any-
thing in first-class condition sells read-
ily at the quotations given. The supply
of American Beauties is small add any-

Various Notes.

"the S. A. F. convention now is an
interesting topic in and around New
York, especially because of the general
desire that this city be chosen as the
meeting place of the 1917 convention.
A good representation will sail for New
Orleans August 9, on the Momus, one
of the finest steamships of the Southern
Pacific line. Ex-president Richard Vin-
cent and Mrs. Vincent have booked
their passage and it is hoped not only
Baltimore members but also Philadel-
phia and Washington members will join
the New Yorkers in the 5-day water
trip. The rate will be $80 to $83. Five
different routes are listed for the return
by rail. All intending to go to Hous-
ton by boat, via New Orleans, should
write to J. E. Lewis, the secretary of
the transportation committee, at 448
West Thirty-seventh street. New York.

The holiday season is at its height
and employees and employers are tak-
ing advantage of it to the full extent.
Many of the wholesalers close at 4 p. m.
and few open Sundays. The retail
florists generally are in favor of the
early closing.

President Bowe, of the joint retail
associations, says the new society will
not meet again until September. He
is enjoying his vacation at Asbury
Park and says he does not fear the
sharks there as much as the sharks of
Twenty-eighth street.

George J. Polykranas, the wholesale
florist of 104 West Twenty-eighth
street, is installing one of the largest
iceboxes in the wholesale district. It
occupies the entire back of the store.
His son still is suffering from the ef-
fects of blood poisoning several months
ago.

Bonnet & Blake have added another
delivery automobile to their facilities
and are prepared for a big fall season.
Mr. Blake is enjoying a month 's holi-
day at his old home in Rochester.

Joseph Trepel's daily purchases for
his six Brooklyn stores are no small
help to a heat-dominated market. His
order some weeks ago for half a million
bouquets was a record that undoubtedly
will stand. The last letter from his
brother. Jack, who is motoring with his
wife to California, was postmarked
Omaha, but that still is a long, long
way from San Francisco.

The Market.

Business at the wholesale market last
week was quiet, there being little or
nothing going on. But the July slump
comes every year and little is looked
for in the way of business before fall.
This condition seems to be general, all
the wholesalers making the same re-
port.

Boses show plainly the effect of the
heat and few arrive in good selling
condition. -Shawyer and Bussell roses
are among the best. A great many
Killarneys are coming in, but they are
off color and short of stem, and the
prices are low. Some good carnations are
coming in and hardly go over $1.50 per
hundred. There is an abundance of
short common stock coming in. This
sells well at 50 cents per hundred for
funeral work. Sweet peas are out of
the market for the present. Valley has
little call, but holds up in price. Asters
sell better than any other flower. There
are not too many of them coming in
and the best clean up daily. Gladioli
are in plenty, the fancy America and
Augusta being down to $2 per hundred.
Common varieties are down as low as
50 cents per hundred in thousand lots.
A lot of outdoor flowers coming in daily
have little demand.

The market is well supplied with
greens and the daily demand, for these
has been good.

The Club's Picnic.

The annual picnic given by the Flo-
rists' Club for florists, their families
and friends took place July 20 at Ra-
mona park. It was a most beautiful
day, though quite warm, as old Sol was
on the job early. The attendance, as
usual, was large, about 400. Eighteen
gayly decorated automobiles occupied
by florists left the wholesale district
at 1 o'clock and made a big impression
on the public along the route out to the
park, which was reached at 2 p. m.
The trustees, Messrs. Ohlweiler, Rowe
and F. Windier, who had the arrange-
ments in charge, had everything in
readiness and great credit should be
given them for the perfect arrange-
ments. The athletic events, eighteen
in number, as usual created a great
deal of excitement among the younger
folks. The older picnickers, too, came
in this year, and showed more interest
than usual. There were large entries

in each of the eighteen events. Paddy
Patton's chicken race and William
Smith's novelty race caused great sport
for the crowd. Kolla Hammer's harem
race and Pileher's ladies' football game
were interesting and humorous through-
out.

Joseph Hauser forgot the rope for his
tug of war and it was turned into a
football game, which was won by Count
Von Hoffman, after some badly bruised
shins. The event of the day came at
the conclusion of the games. It was
the baseball game between the whole-
salers and the retailers. George Schrie-
fer pitched winning ball for the whole-
salers and won the game 8 to 7. Many
glaring errors were made behind Schrie-
fer, or he would have shut out the re-
tail team. Frank Gorly was umpire
and acted fair and square to both sides.
The rest of the day was taken up in

of music, led by Prof. Beyer, made
delightful pastime for the picnickers

Alex Lnrie took charge of the ball scramble
for boys, aped 12 years and under. A. Jablonsky
won this, Arthur Wetteran being second.

Frank Sanders had charge of the little girls in
the flag race and the event had a large entry.
Virginia Cemy and Arline Meyer came In first
and second In the order named.

The box fight for single ladies, George Prlng
In charge, gave much pleasure. The fight nar-
rowed down to Miss v. Rlchter and Miss L.
Price, who were declared the winners.

The egg race, In charge of C. Kuehn, Jr., for
little girls 12 to 16 years of age, was won by
Arline Meyer. Miss M. Kuehn was second.

Paddy Patton's guinea chlckeh race, open to
all, created a lot of fun. O. K. Sanders was
the winner of the first catch and George Klrch-
ner was winner of the second catch.

William Smith's novelty race created more fun
than any other event. This race was won by
Count A. Von Hoffman, who refused to show the
contents of the box imtU Mrs. Von Hoffman
opened the box first.

The ladies' football teams next went to the
post. In charge of W. J. Pllcher. Each lady
taking part received a box of candy.

The men's tug of war did not take
place, owing to the fact that the com-
mittee forgot the rope, but the two
teams lined up for a football game,
which caused a great deal of sport.
When they had finished all taking part
divided two boxes of cigars. The base-
ball game came next and five innings
were played. The score was:

Innings— 12 3 4 5

Wholesalers 0 1 2 3 2—8

Ketailers o 2 2 2 1 — 7

This concluded the most successful

event ever had at any of our outings

and great credit is due to all who had

charge of the various events.

Various Notes.

The stork paid a visit to the home of
David Geddis July 23 and left an 8-
pound boy. Dave was so much taken
with the newcomer that he sent to each
of the five wholesalers a box of cigars.

The St. Louis County Growers' Asso-
ciation will hold an important meeting
next Wednesday, August 2, at the
Eleven Mile House. The date of their
picnic will be made known and impor-
tant matters will be discussed.

William Smith, head of the W. C.
Smith Wholesale Floral Co., had a busy
time of it Friday, July 21, supervising
the unloading of a carload of glass at
Kirkwood. This will keep the growers
busy for the next two months repairing
the damage done by the recent hail
storm.

The many friends of Theodore Miller
will be delighted to learn that his
daughter, Dora, who has been ill for
many months, has recovered and now is
out of danger.

John Steidle, of Olivette, recently
had an operation performed, from
which he has suffered much during the
last month. This made Mr. and Mrs.
Steidle miss their first picnic.

is a plentiful supply of this flower in
good grades. Asters are coming in and
larger quantities would move if obtain-
able. The weather has not treated the
dahlias well and those that come in
quickly shatter. Carnations have been
maintaining a price of $2 per hundred
throughout the month and, considering
the season, they are good and well
worth the money. Local roses are small
and of those coming from the north few
are really good. The market thus shows
a shortage of these. Valley is in much
the same position and that offered late
last week was barely acceptable.

Quantities of phloxes, delphiniums,
hydrangeas, daisies and other season-
able outdoor flowers are offered and
meet with a small sale. Many of the
local florists are substituting these for
roses and carnations in funeral work,
and to good advantage. In wreaths
delphiniums and achilleas were used as
a filler with a spray of roses and above
a bow of chiffon.

The Picnic at Great Falls.

The outing held at Great Falls, Va.,
July 19, under the auspices of the Flo-
rists' Club of Washington, D. C, was,
as predicted, the most successful and
enjoyable event in the history of the
organization. From early afternoon
until late at night there was something
doing every minute to keep all partici-
pants occupied.

The florists and their friends gath-
ered at the Georgetown terminus of the
railway company, which provided three
special and two regular cars to handle
the 400 people who enjoyed the outing.
On the trains were members of the en-
tertainment committee, who saw to the

FLOWERS FOR THE STATE OF WASHINGTON

SMITH FLORAL CO., 1112 Broadway

and there were several boxes of cigars
on hand for the members. Each ticket-
holder was furnished with a "refresh-
ment" badge, cashable at the end of
the line for all sorts of good things.

Long before the hour set for the out-
ing, George C. Shaffer and men from
his store, J. Richards, J. Minder, Mil-
ton Thomas and a number of others,
were getting things in readiness for the
day. The large dancing pavilion was
decorated with gladioli and oak leaves,
and there were bunches of flowers on
each of the tables in the refreshment
pavilion, where Mr. Richards presided.
The merrymakers brought their appe-
tites with them and there was a rush
to attack the commissary.

The kiddies went in heavily for those
of the games that were proposed for
them and every entrant was announced
as a prize-winner, as enough sailboats,
dolls and rubber balls had been pro-
vided to make this possible. As usual,
the big events were quoits and the 100-
yard dash, for members only, in each of
which there was keen competition. The
list of events and the winners were as
follows :

Potato race, open to girls 12 years of age and
nnder — Rose Hinder, first; LUUan Anderson, sec-
ond.

Potato race, open to boys 12 years of age and
under — Percy Booth, first; Arthur Booth, second.

Poitato race, boys and girls, 7 years of age and
nnder — Catherine Oldrldge and Taylor Anderson,
first prizes; Alice Johnson and Harry Oldrldge,
second prizes.

George C. Shaffer has put into com-
mission his new automobile delivery
wagon. This is an attractive-looking
machine, with a green body ornamented
in gold.

William Marche is planning exten-
sive alterations to his store at Four-
teenth and H streets, northwest, which
will involve an outlay of about $2,000.
The present front on Fourteenth street
is to be torn down and replaced by a
modem display window, the front of
which will extend out three feet from
the present line and will give an addi-
tional sixty feet of window space. The
H street window will be extended to
conform thereto and the store itself will
be given some little additional space
along the opposite wall. While the
store is being remodeled, Mr. Marche is
having two greenhouses erected on his
property in Hyattsville, where he now
makes his home.

William J. Gait, who for the last
three years has been employed at the
Fox flower store, in Philadelphia, and
who prior to that time was manager of
the Becker store in the same city, has
joined the sales force of George C.
Shaffer.

The Leo Niessen Co. is gradually get-
ting its new store at 1206 H street,
northwest, in shape for occupancy. The
icebox, 13x16 feet and twelve feet high,
now is being built and there is being
installed in the cellar a large ice-making
machine. When completed, this con-
cern will have one of the finest estab-
lishments in this section of the coun-
try. C. L. L.

Seading, Pa. — Heller's farm was the
scene of the annual picnic of the Bead-
ing Florists' Association. The members
of the organization, accompanied by
their families and guests, journeyed to
the farm in automobiles. Among the
visitors were T. J. Nolan, of the King
Construction Co., North Tonawanda, N.
Y.; H. F. Michell, of Philadelphia; B.
F. Barr and Daniel Rohrer, of Lan-
caster.

An occasional parcel of .flower seeds
from Germany comes to hand via the
maUs, but they are few and far between.

In the last fiscal year of the consulate
records there were small imports of al-
falfa seed from Spain, the total value
being $22,854.

There was unusual heat in the Grand
Bapids section last week. Peas suffered
to some extent, but conditions are con-
sidered fair for this date.

There are enough people pushing
sweet pea seed this summer eo that, if
each one has fair business, there should
be no scarcity of the flowers next winter
and spring.

California 's output of radish seed will
be measurably increased this season and
the claim is made that the utmost care
has been used by the growers, who see a
chance to demonstrate the quality of their
stock to those who heretofore have de-
pended on European radish.

The Rudy-Patrick Seed Co., Kansas
City, Mo., recently purchased a warehouse
and elevator on the Kansas side, which is
now being remodeled, and on completion
will be used for cleaning and storing,
thus relieving the congestion of the pres-
ent plant at Ninth and Santa Fe streets,
which it will continue to occupy.

The Holland bulb houses that find
themselves with large surpluses because
of the closing of the English market nev-
ertheless are not in a hurry to cut prices
deeply for additional American orders.
Their organization is doing good work in
this respect, pointing out that prices on
advance orders will have to be cut down
to meet those quoted in eleventh-hour
competition.

The exportation of grass seed from
Ireland, which formerly ran to $1,250,-
000, according to U. S. Consul Frost, at
Queenstown, was restricted in 1915 to
prevent its reaching hostile territory. The
quality has advanced with great rapidity,
the standard weight per bushel in 1913
being fixed by a commission at sixteen
to eighteen pounds, whereas in 1915 it
was raified to twenty to twenty-four
pounds.

Embassadors of the Dutch bulb houses
have arrived in New York in consider-
able number during the last month, the
majority representing exporters who find
themselves this season barred out of their
usual market, England. The exporters
who regularly canvass the American
trade are not sending their men back in
any great number, because they feel that
they have covered the field pretty thor-
oughly.

The a. a. Berry Seed Co., of Clarinda,
la., has had a remarkable growth during
the last year, its business increasing
$250,000 over that of the previous year.
The directors, pleased with the manage-
ment, reelected the officers, the following
now composing the board of directors and
executives: President, A. A. Berry;
vice-president, George W. Standage; sec-
retary, J. Frank Sinn; treasurer, A. F.
Galloway; director, James Shum. The
capital stock has been increased from

RAINBOW

(many bright colors)

FREESIAS

Our crop of bulbs grown in California now
is ready for delivery, and the bulbs are of
exceptional quality, ranging in size from
Yi to %-inch. The mixture offered includes
several shades of yellow, orange, lavender
and pink, all harmonizing with each other
when bunched together.

Rainbow Freesias are great money-makers
for all florists, whether they grow for their
own retail trade Or for the wholesale market. Splendid sellers at top prices. Moreover, the habit of plant
is branching, each bulb giving two to three' flower spikes with stems long enough for all floral purposes.

$5.00 per 100; $40.00 per 1000; $187.50 for 5000.

(Note.— Because of the branching habit, Rainbow freesia will give twice
to three times as many flowers per bulb as will Purity or refracta alba.)

Every jobber and catalogue house that has a trade calling for high-class novelties should write at once for
terms on Rainbow. Freesia bulb growers write for prices on planting stock (bulblets).

BEEMX7DA ONION SEED.

In view of recent correspondence
and crop reports in The Eeview, the
trade will be specially interested in a
letter, written June 10, to the Depart-
ment of Commerce by George K. Stiles,
consul at Teneriffe, Canary Islands:

"Onion seed constituted one-fourth
of all exports to the United States from
the Teneriffe district in 1915. The
coming crop, which should begin to
move next month, shows a decided in-
crease in the amount of choice, expen-
sive wax (or white) seed. The ordi-
nary canary-yellow, onion seed, how-
ever, has suffered because of the winter
drought and shows a loss estimated at
forty to fifty per cent. The red seed,
which is in less demand, also suffered
from drought, but to a smaller degree
than the yellow.

"Yellow seed will consequently be
scarce, and there may be difficulty in
filling contracts for this grade, while

^ One evening a party of traveling
business men met in a hotel and
casually drifted to the subject, "Could
a woman make good in our trade ? "
fl One party thought perhaps a wo-
man would find the Florists a little
rough to call on, another thought
the physical strain would be too
much for long trips, and another
said she might meet soae "fresh
guys" and become disgusted. My
name was brought up as being the
only traveling " skirt " in our busi-
ness, and I was making a real suc-
cess of it.

fl Well, there are two ways to handle
3ach of the questionable points, and
there is some truth in all of the sug-
gestions made — and, my dear Florist
friends, I'm with you to open up a
few of my experiences. I will take
one character of the objectionable
kind next week — we will call him

The Florists' Review

Jolt 27, 1910.

the stock of 'wax' seed will be in ex-
cess of orders.

"The average contract prices are re-
ported as follows, per pound: Fancy
white 'wax,' $1.50 to $2; yellow, 85
cents (American gold); and red, 80
cents. ,

"The stocks of onion seed last year
were fairly cleaned out, so that . this
season there appears to be less prob-
ability of old seed being mixed with
the new. .Both adulteration and in-
ferior quality of onion seed are diffi-
cult to detect until after sowing. The
long-established firms here, however,
ean be counted on to allow just claims
when made by American buyers, espe-
cially as regards damage in transit.

*'As practically all onion seed con-
tracts to the United States are made on
an f. 0. b. basis in a Canary port, the
higher freights of this year must be
met by the American buyers. Last sea-
son a number of complaints of bad seed
were caused through long delays in
transshipment via E'ngland. Owing to
this fact the Liverpool route has been
largely abandoned this year, according
to statements made by prominent ship-
pers.

"The larger percentage of the crop
will be routed via Porto Eico to New
Orleans or via Habana to New York.
Freight rates are estimated here as
from forty to fifty per cent higher than
last season, when they were already
much higher than before the war. As
the bulk of the crop goes to southern
destinations, the Porto Rico-New Or-
leans route should prove decidedly
cheaper for most shipments.

"The crop is slightly earlier than
last year and first shipments are ex-
pected to be made by July 15 and should
extend to the end of Aug^ust.

' ' Argentine and Cuban buying of this
year's crop has fallen off as compared
with last season. Generally speaking,
prices may be taken as somewhat lower
and showing a tendency to weakness
this season. In 1915 there were more
orders than could be filled and prices
stiffened considerably. It seems prob-
able that the values of American pur-
chases will show more or less of a de-
cline.

"A statement of interest to Amer-
ican onion-seed growers is contained in
a report made by two of the larger
dealers growing their own seed, to the
effect that too intense a selection of
onion seed for the points of size and
color shows poor results in the quantity
of seed obtained at the next harvest.

"The so-called 'select' stock, when
used for rebreeding, is said to produce
less seed than the more ordinary speci-
mens. In other words, the plants pro-
ducing onions less distinctive as to color
and size are claimed to be 'hardier'
and to produce more and better seed of
their respective classes. This will per-
haps interest American specialists who
are growing onion seed for the trade."

MOTT-LY GLEANINGS.

G. W. Scott, of the Eberle Seed Co.,
Albany, N. Y., believes that the sea-
son's record will be a good one. Mr.
Scott had jugt returned from a south-
ern trip, which had been unusually suc-
cessful.

FLORISTS' REVIEW

When Writing Advertlsara I

JULY and AUGUST

THESE ARE THE MONTHS in which to start seedling Snapdragon
plants to follow Mums. Snapdragons have become immensely pop-
ular, and for profit to grower there is no plant that touches them.
We have all of the good ones, seed of which were grown under
glass, with each variety in a separate house— meaning the best seed
that can be produced. Prices as follows :

Seed of our original Silver Pink Snapdragon, $1.00 per pkt.;
3 for $2.50; 7 for $6.00. Seed of Nelrose, Garnet, Yellow,
Buxton, Phelps' White and fancy Mixed, 36c per pkt.; 3 for
$1.00. Frae cultural directions. All orders cash.

There is a big shortage of Snapdragon plants, due to rainy season,
so grow all the plants that you can and market any surplus. Our
famous Silver Pink will be the leader, with our other good ones in
their color. Every mail brings repeat orders and puflfs for RAMS-
BURG'S SILVER PINK.

Remember July and August and start
some seedling Snapdragon plants.

The Gordinier Seed Co., of Troy, N.

Frank Howard, of Pittsfield, Mass.,
is erecting a large building, the present

the demand.

O. H. Dickinson, of Springfield,

according to press reports. This will
be a surprise to many in the trade who
considered this one of the most flour-

The Eoss Seed Co., of Worcester,

Seeds are ali grown by myselt and are offered In the following mix-
tures and separate colors:

22. GIANT KENILWORTH STRAIN. The flowers are of perfect form
and substance; many ef the Immense flowers are from 8V& to 4
Inches. It Is a atriklng collection of beautiful colors and markings,
rich with shades of red, brown, bronze, mahogany and many others
too numerous to mention. Light, Sfedlum or Dark Mixtures.

24. GIANT KRNILWORTH SHOW. An extra fine strain of large flow-
ers; the Immense flowers are of circular form and great substance.
A beautiful collection of colors and markings.

26. GIANT KENILWORTH CUT FLOWER laXTURE. Is a distinct class
by itself, surpassing all other strains as a cut flower or for exhibi-
tion purposes, for Inside or outside growing; the large flowers are
carried erect above the foliage on heavy stems, 7 or 8 inches long.
In the most graceful manner, and stand the hot, dry weather welL

28. GIANT MASTERPIECE. A remarkable type; the curled, wavy petals
giving the flower a double appearance; large flowers of great- sub-
stance, on long, strong stem.

80. GIANT THREE AND FIVE BLOTCHED PANSIES. A superb mix-
ture. Flowers large and of circular form and of great substance.
The display of coloring Is unsurpassed. A combination of almost
every shade of rich, velvety colors; reds are particularly conspic-
uous; the petals being distinctly marked with three or five large,
dark blotches.

32. GIANT PARISIAN. The flowers are of enormous sise and beautifully
marked, mostly flne dark blotches on white and yellow ground;
an unusually showy mixture. .

blotched. Strongly frilled petals. A superb Pansy.

82. ORCHID FLOWERED, Mixed. A dwarf, free bloomer, with a range
of delicate colors that do not exist in any other Pansies; a re-
markable combination of light rgse, shell pink, blush mauve,
fawn, light brown, orange and chamois.

Mew Early-flowering or Winter-blooming Giant Tansies •'ricesof KenilworUi Pansy S«ed

An entirely new and distinct strain of Pansies. The main advantage of
these new Pansies over all hitherto existing Pansies Is the extreme earliness
of flowering and Its unusual hardiness, which enables them to withstand quite
severe Winters, and to bloom right on into the Summer. Sown at the same
time as other Pansies, they begin flowering the early part of March or as soon
as the snow Is off the ground, many times having four or five large flowers
to a plant, when all other Pansies are only showing buds. The flowers are
large, well formed and fragrant. They are highly recommended for Autumn
planting on graves and for very early bedding, as well as for early cut
flowers.

14. WlMTJiB smr. Golden yellow, with dark eye.

IB. lOB "KXXa. Silvery white, with dark blue eye.

16. CEBESTZAX QUEEXr. Light or sky blue.

17. CKASIK OF MA&CK. Dark velvety blue.

18. MIXED. The above four colors with other shades and varia-

tions. Each color separate or mixed.
500 seeds 6O0., 1000 geeds f 1.00, Vi oz. fS.OO, H os. 93.75, 1 OS. flSXO.

20. PSnrCESS. The Hew Upxtglit Pansy.
This strain is entirely distinct from all others. It Is absolutely compact,
upright growing, and extremely weatherproof, enduring many storms with-
out damage to its flower. The flowers are mostly blotched and frilled like the
Masterpiece, of good form and heavy, velvety texture, on heavy stems carried
well above the foliage. Attractive by the brilliancy of its colors.

LOS ANOEUIS.

The Market.

Shipments to outside points fell off
considerably last week, according to the
leading wholesalers, but business in the
stores has been a little better, though
funeral work still is the mainstay. The
reduced forces, caused by the absence
of many on vacations, have had just
about all they could take c^re of easily.
The pretty Mexican poppy, hunneman-
nia, and the double blue cornflower
have made a delightful combination in
many of the retailers' windows, while
large masses of Agapanthus umbellatus
and dahlias have made bold and strik-
ing effects in others. Roses are keeping
up fairly well in quality, considering
the season, Beauties perhaps making
the worst showing. New-crop carna-
tions are coming in great shape, the
cool nights making them retain their
freshness and vigor of stem. The sweet
peas have passed their best for the
year, or at least until the fall sowings
come in, though this will not be much
before Christmas. Gladioli are plenti-
ful and in considerable variety. There
is an abundance of good greens of all
kinds. A few begonias and salvias are
shown; otherwise pot plants are scarce,
with little demand.

Various Notes.

At George Watson's new place at
Covina junction everything is in ex-
cellent shape. The new carnation
houses have given a good account of
themselves and there is a splendid lot
of field stock to go in. The variegated
Benora is a great favorite .here and
Mr. Watson annually grows great quan-
tities of it. Another house is nearing
completion and is to be planted to
roses.

Frank Warner, of Rust's nursery, at
South Pasadena, has gone to San Diego
to take in the fair again. Few men
stick more closely to business than Mr.
Warner or enjoy themselves better
when they do break away. So it is
safe to say that Mr. Warner will have
a good time with our genial friends at
the southern city, where hospitality is
boundless.

The Armstrong Nurseries, of Ontario,
report that the season closed finely with
them and that the stock for the coming
year never looked better.

G. M. Bridgeford, of Eagle Rock, now
brings his stock to market in a 6-cylin-
der automobile.

J. Menasco, of Covina, is sending in
some of the best Ulrich Brunner roses
that are reaching this market. Jim
certainly has the "hang" of this rose
right.

George Southard, who has a consid-
erable reputation around here as a
maker of paper pots and tree protectors,
says he is coming out with fertilized
pots, the felt or paper being treated
with chemicals suitable to the growth
of the various stocks to be grown in
them — presumably potassic manures for
tomatoes, nitrogenous fertilizers for
cauliflower and other combinations to be
worked out. Mr. Sout^^ard has several

other novel features and has his ma-
chines about perfected for turning them
out in quantity. He is responsible for
the statement that when he gets going
good all the tin cans will have to be
sent to the "flivver" factory.

Fred Sperry, of the L. A. Floral Co.,
made a flying trip in his machine to
Santa Barbara last week, going and re-
turning the same day. He mentioned
that Arthur Gleave, of Gleave's Flower
Shop, was doing a fine business. He
also said that much of the local stock
of the Santa Barbara growers compared
favorably with that coming to the Los
Angeles market. He especially noted
the fine quality of yellow centaureas
and agapanthus.

Mrs. A. M. Wilton, manager for C.

H. KoUe, of El Paso, Tex., is in town
on a visit.

Charles Howard, of the Howard Rose
Co., of Hemet, has been making busi-
ness calls in the city and vicinity. He
says the rose stock never looked better
than this year, and this is saying a good
deal. These "desert grown" roses are
always thoroughly ripened and, conse-
quently, bear shipping well. They go
dormant early, owing to the cool, dry
climate of Hemet. Many of the new
ones have been added to the list this
year.

Morris Goldenson has been driving
eastern friends around this week, show-
ing them the beauties of southern Cali-
fornia.

Niagara and Panama bring good prices,

An early variety of chrysanthemum has

cities he visited. It is hinted that he
has secured some new roses. Mrs. Axell
accompanied him on the trip.

The United Flower & Supply Co. has
80 far received about fifty dozen of the
early chrysanthemum, Early Frost, and
reports an excellent demand for it.
Other chrysanthemums are growing
nicely, with indications of a plenteous
supply of Monrovia, October Frost, etc.,
by August 15.

Mrs. R. E. Darbee, who has gardens
at Colma, Ocean View and San Leandro,
and a retail store at 1036 Hyde street,
has been enjoying a much-needed rest in
the mountains of Mendocino county. She
is expected back the end of the week,
after an absence of nearly a month.

Everybody in the trade was looking
forward with pleasant anticipation to
the florists ' picnic at Pinehurst, in Con-
tra Costa county, July 30. Judging
from the number of tickets sold, it was
said that the attendance would be larger
this year than ever before.

Chas. F. Shellgrain, manager of the
J. B. Boland store on Kearny street,
says business is keeping up fairly well
for this season of the year.

F. C. Jaeger, of the MacRorie-Mc-
Laren Co., has returned to duty after
a pleasant trip to Lake Tahoe with his

N. A. Baldocchi, of Podesta & Bal-
docchi, is the owner of a new touring
ear.

At the flower and seed stand in the
Emporium department store, operated
by Chas. Navlet, of San Jose, Cal., a
big demand is reported for coleus
plants.

Quarters are being fitted up in the
California Flower Market for the use
of the Chinese growers in selling their
aster and chrysanthemum crops this
season.

A. Podesta, of Podesta & Baldocchi,
is about ready to leave on a two weeks'

Word has been received here that
C. W. Ward, of the Cottage Qardens
Co., Eureka, Cal., will be down shortly
to arrange for an outing of florists at
his place in the Klamath Falls country,
sometime in August. Several members
of the local trade enjoyed his hospital-
ity on a similar trip last year. A pleas-
ant feature is the fact that the last
four hours' ride is taken in canoes up
the river.

Pelicano, Bossi & Co. report good
success with Irish Fireflame roses.

The trade was well represented in the
preparedness parade held here Juhr 29.
A. J. Rossi, A. O. Stein and Julius
Eppstein composed the committee which
organized the marching division. All
the downtown stores agreed to close at
1 o'clock in order that the members
and employees could march.

The California Dahlia Growers' Asso-
ciation has held several meetings and
secured many new members. It has
plans well under way for a dahlia show
to be given in the ballroom of the Pal-
ace hotel, September 7, 8 and 9. The
premium list will be out shortly. Presi-
dent T. A. Bums says everything points

The Ftorists' Review

POSTLAND, OBE.

! The Iiiarket.

Bright, warm weather, following sev-
eral dayi of rain, brought the outdoor
flowers into bloom rapidly last week.
While some of the blooms were dam-
aged, the rain improved the plants and
the cut was unusually good. Nearly all
varieties were too abundant to be ab-
sorbed by the demands of the market.
Sweet peas were never of better quality
and seldom so cheap. The first dahlias
have appeared and early Comet asters
are offered. Some beautiful gladioli are
shown. There still are a few Easter
lilies, and rubrums and auratums are
to be had. The blooms of Buddleia
variabilis are favorites.

A few pot plants are offered, such as
tuberous begonias, fuchsias, gloxinias,
celosias and hydrangeas. There a e
enough indoor roses to meet the de-
mand, with Mrs. Ward, Mrs. Eussell,
Ophelia and Hoosier Beauty in the lead.
There is a shortage of white roses.
Cattleya gigas and Gaskelliana are pro-
ducing a few blooms of splendid qual-
ity. Funeral work was good in the
first part of last week, but the demand
decreased later to normal summer con-
ditions.

dub Meeting.

The newly elected oflicers of the Port-
land Floral Society took their seats at
the meeting held July 18. The reports
of Secretary Niklas and Treasurer
Forbes showed a balance in the treas-
ury of about $200, with all bills paid
and the average yearly expense less
than the average returns from dues.
President Walker briefly reviewed the
events of the last year, concluding with
the statement that the year could be
considered one of good achievement and
that the society was starting on its fifth
year with brighter prospects than ever.
He emphasized the value of cooperation
among the different branches of the
trade.

F. A. Van Kirk, secretary of the
growers' committee, reported that he
had a nearly complete list of buyers
covering the districts supplied frt)m
Portland, with reports on their credit
ratings, which were available to all
society members. He urged all mem-
bers to report promptly all delinquents.
H. A. Lewis, president of the Mult-
nomah county fair, reported that the
fourteen plots prepared for planting
competitive exhibits had all been filled.
He asked for assistance in planning a
new style of decorations for the exhibi-
tion pavilions. He invited the members
to attend a Grange picnic at the fair
grounds July 29.

James 0. Convill, who had charge of
the floral center, reported that the
Chamber of Commerce had not made
payments to the festival board as
promptly as had been agreed and for
this reason the florists had not received
their money. J. B. Pilkington and
James Forbes were appointed a commit-
tee to see that the money be paid as
soon as possible.

It was voted to hold a picnic Sunday,
August 6, at Schnoerr's park, near
Oregon City, where the outing was held
last year. Employees, families and
friends of society members will be wel-
come. Betail stores will close so far as
practicable and a large attendance is
expected.

finished taking down the old Pfunder
range, except three houses which will
be left till Mr. Willius, the former
lessee, can get his stock out of the
way.

E. R. Chappell has rearranged his
store in the Broadway building and
plans further improvements as business
warrants.

The Routledge Seed & Floral Co. fea-
tures live stock in its displays. A tank
of goldfish, some playful kittens, a cage
of owls and a pugnacious hawk add va-
riety to the parrots and canaries.

The Nippon Floral Co. is cutting
auratum lilies. Substantial repairs have
been made to the houses that were
damaged by last winter's storms.

Gene Robinson is cutting some good
white and pink carnations. He has part
of his range set to new plants.

feet of glass is being constructed here
for Robert Telby. Mr. Telby has seen
twenty-four years of service in the
trade.

for twenty-five years was in the green-
house business at Geneseo, 111., has
launched a wholesale and retail fern
business here.

Kennewlck, Wash. — C. F. Breithaupt
has disposed of his interests here to
J. R. Raugenhaupt, who will- grow a
small quantity of pot plants and flower-
ing shrubs. Mr. Breithaupt has moved
to Toppenish.

Tacoma, Wash. — ^Prizes are being so-
licited for the annual dahlia show of
the Tacoma Dahlia Society, to be held
at Tacoma September 15 and 16. En-
tries from Portland, Ore., and Seattle
have been assured, according to a report
made at a recent meeting of the society.

It

To

Pacific Coast

Florists:

What stock have you

for tale to the trada?
It it moving a* it should?
No?

Then tell the trade about
it by nsing the Pacific Coast
Pages of The Review.

Pacific Coast advertisers al-
most invariably report good
resnlts. Like this:

Say I That ad's a homdlnstr for cettint tlu
boaineu.— Everett Floral Co.. Everett, Waih.

I sold all the Mom cattlnci advertised, and yon
will not hear from me again until I can cet some
more itock ready. Shall root 100,000 Carnation
cuttinrs for next leaaon, as I know The Review
will sell them for me.— Frank Wilbelm, Los Aa-
reles, Cal.

Please cut oat of onr advertisement in The H«-
view the cyclamen seedlintt. We sold all oar
sarploB cyclamen seedlinrs as a direct resolt of
oar advertisement in year paper.— Spokane
Greenhouses (Inc.), Spokane, Wash.

We want to say that oar last advertisement in
The Review brought as orders from both the At-
lantic and Pacific coasts. We had, strantely
enoach, on following days, orders from Salem,
Ore., and from Salem, Mass.— State Floral Co..
North Yakima, Wash.

We are well pleased with the results obtained
by advertising in the Pacific Coast Department of
The Review. We sold out clean and refused
many orders. The Review surely gives renilti.
—Van Slyke A Seamons, Tacoma, Wash.

The transient rate for space
is $1 per inch per insertion.
Those who have stock to offer
all or a considerable part of
the year aronnd should write
for contract rates.

FUNGUS OF THE CLEMATIS.

The sudden dying of clematis plants,
especially wherever the large-flowered
kinds are grown extensively in Amer-
ica and Europe, has been noted for
many years, and the cause and methods
for prevention of this disease have re-
cently been reported in the Journal of
Agricultural Research. The investiga-
tor found that the primary cause of
the dying of the plants is a fungus
known as Ascochyta clematidina. Ex-
periments have shown that the. trans-
ferring of this fungus to healthy plants
causes them to take the disease.

The disease shows itself differently
on various species. On hybrids grown
in the field it is a stem-rot, while at
the greenhouse where cuttings are
propagated it is a leaf -spot as well as
stem-rot. On Clematis paniculata the
disease takes both forms.

The following methods for controlling
this fungus, are recommended:

"There is less disease when the hy-
brids are supported while growing than
when they are permitted to trail on the
ground. In the case of Clematis panicu-
lata, however, the selling price of this
variety does not warrant incurring the
expense of supports. The author in this
case advises transplanting the plants
from the beds to the open field after
the first year and placing them far

house by the use of sprays. In all cases
it is best to remove the diseased leaves
and dead vines before spraying. It is
particularly important to clear out such
leaves and vines, especially if the plant
is wintering outdoors, as the fungus
is able to survive cold weather. This
indicates also that the same beds should
not be used for clematis during sue-
eessive years."

The retail purchaser of clematis can
prevent the dying of plants by taking
proper simple precautions. The plants
should be placed in good soil, well
drained, and on a sunny exposure. As
soon as the new shoots have formed, the
old vine tissue should be carefully cut
away close to the new shoots, removing
all traces of the brown, discolored wood
in which the fungus is to be found.
Proper ventilation is obtained by train-
ing the plants to a strong trellis.

MAGNOLIAS IN CENTRAL WEST.

Among the desirable ornamental
shrubs for the central west that should
be more liberally planted, magnolias of
the improved varieties should be rec-
ommended. Magnolia acuminata is na-
tive in Pennsylvania, Ohio and Indiana,
and some of the C<hinese varieties have
succeeded admirably. I am not prac-
tically familiar with many varieties,

nata, or cucumber tree, attaining forty
to fifty feet in height, and M. tripetala,
or umbrella catalpa, thirty to forty
feet, are beautifully formed trees, with
large, glossy leaves. Though the flow-
ers are less showy, they are still desir-
able trees.

Magniolia grandiflora, the "glorious
magnolia of the south," the most beau-
tiftU of all magnolias, is not hardy as
far north as the other native sorts or
the Chinese varieties are. The northern
limit of its successful growth is about
the latitude of Louisville, Ky., to
southern Missouri. E. Y. Teas.

KANSAS CITY.

The Market.

Business last week was more brisk
than that of the week previous, a condi-
tion attributed to a large number of
funeral orders. The hot weather still
is with us. Gladioli are the main out-
door flowers, but their quality is not
up to the average. Gypsophila is off
the market. Early dahlias are not good,
as the weather has been too dry, and
now the hot sun affects the flowers.
Good quality roses are scarce; the in-
ferior grades, too, are diminishing in
quantity. Lilies are plentiful and are
being used freely in funeral work. Car-
nations are off the market, excepting a
few coming from Colorado.

Various Note&

James Payne is putting in a new Lord
& Burnham boiler at his range. He
may have to give up his present place
in another year, as the city plans to
run a street through the grounds on
which his greenhouses are located. Sid-
ney Cotgreave, with Mr. Payne, moved
to EigWy-second street and Garfield
avenue, where he has more ground for
his rabbits. Mr. Cotgreave now has
more than 200 pedigree rabbits, some of
which are highly valued Belgian stock.

W. J. Barnes is getting his green-
houses in shape for the fall trade. He
BOW has a nice lot of chrysanthemums
in 6-inch and 8-inch pots. His carna-
tions are all planted.

The Geo. M. Kellogg Flower & Plant
Co. did a big business. Stock here
seems scarce. Mr. Blackberry is at
Pleasant Hill. He will stay at the green-
houses all summer. Charles Thomas left
for a two weeks' vacation.

Bay Sturgeon has leased the green-
house of Mr. Mohr for three years. He
will grow chrysanthemums, carnations
and sweet peas. Mr. Sturgeon formerly
was with Mr. Mohr.

Henry Kusik & Co. have received a
carload of moss from the north. Bay
Blessing left for his vacation this week.

T. J. Noll & Co. still are receiving
fine, large carnations from Colorado,
and they sell as fast as they come in.

Arthur Newell is back from his east-
em trip, which he enjoyed immensely.
He reports that funeral work has been
quite heavy.

Miss Jennie Murray leaves for Michi-
gan August 4 and will stay there for
several weeks.

Hugo Neff, of the W. L. Bock Flower
Co., left for a several weeks' stay in
Denver, Colo. Lloyd Monson went to
Pittsburg, Kan., and Miss Schmeding-
hoss, too, has gone on a vacation. Miss
Bichards is confined to her home with

The Florists' Review

^e Market.

Business among the florists was re-
ported good last week. Although the
retail stores did not do much in the
cut flower line, there were many cases
in which florists described the week as
a "rush." This is attributed to the
heavy funeral work and decorations for
weddings and other afFairs. While
there is much stock in the city, it is
hard to procure. One florist says there
are not enough greenhouses in and
near the city to meet the demands of
•o many florists. There are many good
roses to be had, ranging in price from
$3 to $8 per hundred. Carnations are
making $2 per hundred, but the warm
weather has made carnations scarce.
There is a fine crop of gladioli arriving,
including America and Mrs. Francis
King. These are bringing $2 per hun-
dred. One. sees many fine delphiniums,
coreopsis, Shasta daisies, bachelor's
buttons, gypsophilas and gullardias.
Sweet peas are not so plentiful now, but
they continue to arrive. There are flne
asters on the market and they have
been used in many pieces most artistic-
aUy.

VarlotiB Notes.

The Twin-City florists held their an-
nual picnic Wednesday, July 19, at
Wildwood, Minn. This is a flne sum-
mer resort about twenty-two miles from
Minneapolis. The day was spent in
dancing, flshing, boating and bathing.
There were athletic contests of tSl
kinds.

The Chicago Avenue Greenhouses
have some fine cyclamens and ferns.
Business is reported as being good.

Thomas S. Lynes had a nifty window
last week. L^rge masses of garden
flowers, such as delphiniums, bachelor's
buttons, gladioli and sweet peas, were
arranged most artistically. Mr. Lynes
reports sales as being lively, except dur-
ing the last few daj^s, when the heat
put a crimp in business. During the
quiet spell the men took advantage of
the lighter deliveries and overhauled
and repainted the delivery outfit. The
chauffeur, Kenneth Lynes, was ill last
week.

The Eldridge Floral Co. expects to
incorporate shortly and erect a large
range of glass somewhere near Minne-
apolis. The company is awaiting the
arrival of a large refrigerator from
Buchbinder Bros., of Chicago.

Thomas Hall has a splendid stock of
roses and expects to have a good cut
in about a month.

The Lakewood Cemetery Association
has commenced cutting blooms of Lil-
ium rubrum, for which there is a brisk
sale.

High-grade gladioli, asters and roses
were the principal offerings of the
Minneapolis Floral Co. last week.
Business was good.

William F. Holmes had a week of
heavy funeral work. Art, as usual,
seems to predominate in everything at
the Holmes store.

Miss H. B. Whitted returned July 18
from Chicago. She says her staff has
been on the jump with decorative and
funeral work. £. M. P.

Bntta, Mont. — ^B. T; Manlove, one of

Butte's pioneer florists, has leased his
establishment to J. W. Hollow, former-
ly of Helena, who will conduct the busi-
ness under th« old name, Manlove 's.

SEDAUA, MO.

Eose plants now are enjoying a well
earned rest. Carnations still are in the
field, but most pf the chrysanthemums
have been benched, save a few late
stragglers. The weather has been a
perplexing thing; early we had too much
moisture, now we have too much dry-
ness. Asters are an ill appearing lot
and there seems to be little hope for
any betterment.

The Archias Floral Co. has been ex-
hibiting a number of banana plants in
full bloom. On^ of the plants, or trees,
carried a Ibunch of forty bananas, part
of which were ripe. The stock, which
measures from three and one-half to
four inches in diameter and stands
about fifteen feet high, was brought
here from the Isle of Pines, Cuba, five
years ago. This is the first time the
plants have borne fruit and many
availed themselves of the opportunity
to see the rare sight.

The State Fair Floral Co. "has ac-
quired a new delivery car.

The workers in Sedalia's greenhouses
and stores, now that business is quiet-

He has a force of nearly thirty men

Henry J. Hass is recovering from
the eflfects of a serious fall from a hay-
stack several weeks ago. While as-
sisting his men in harvesting, he was
too hasty in trying to escape an ap-
proaching storm. He fractured his col-
lar bone and three of his ribs.

COST OF COAL AND OIL.

If saft coal costs $4.75 per ton in the
bin, what would crude oil have to be
bought for per gallon to give the same
amount of heat, dollar for dollar f If
you can give us a definite answer to
this question, we shall greatly appre-
ciate it. W. S. G.— la.

The value of soft coal varies widely,
according to its quality and grade, but
with a fair quality of run-of-mine coal
selling at $4.75 per ton, we would not
consider crude oil worth more than
5 cents per gallon, even after making
allowance for the saving of labor in
firing and removing the ashes.

BOILEB HAS ONLY ONE OUTUiT.

I intend to heat with steam the two
houses shown on the enclosed sketch.
They run east and west. The ground
slopes downward to the north, and the
level of the 21-foot house is three feet
above that of the 36-foot house. The
north wall is of matched siding, cov-
ered with rubberoid roofing. There are
twenty inches of glass in the south
wall. The houses are not separated
by a partition. I should like to heat
them both to 50 degrees in zero weather.
I shall use an upright 18-horsepower
boiler, about three feet in diameter
and approximately ten feet high. The
g^tes are circular and about two and
one-half feet in diameter. It has been
operated as a high-pressure boiler.

How would the returns be cut into
this kind of boiler and at what pressure
should it be heldf I intend to place
the boiler in a pit at the north-^est
comer of the houses and wish to know
how deep the pit should be. Kindly
state the size and number of the flows
and returns needed. The boiler has a
l^^-inch outlet. The 36-foot bouse is
already piped for hot water. It con-
tains a 2-inch flow on each side wall,
with two l^^-inch returns. There are
also two 1%-inch flows on each side of
the center, returning on the posts with
two 2-inch pipes. In all of this
piping there is a uniform rise for the
flows and a fall for the returns.

P. P. S.— Pa.

A low-pressure gravity system is gen-
erally used for small greenhouse ranges,
and for such a system the water level
of the boiler should be two to three feet
below the lowest part of the returns.
Unless this can be arranged, it will be

necessary to use either a steam pomp
or a trap for returning the water to
the boiler. In that case, from five to
ten pounds of steam pressure will be
required. In many places it is possible
to obtain electricity to operate an elec-
tric pump for this purpose.

The sketch shows the houses to be,
respectively, 21 x 85 and 36 x 85. A
2-inch main flow will be desirable for
the wider house and a 1%-inch main
flow for the narrow house. As the
boiler in question has only one 1%-inch
outlet, it will be desirable to tap in a
2-inch outlet to supply the larger house.
If this cannot be done, it will be possi-
ble to make the present outlet answer
for both houses by carrying a few
pounds of pressure. The flow pipe should
be enlarged to 2H-inch at some point
near the boiler, and should be reduced
to 1%-inch after taking off the flow
pipe for the wide house.

For heating the wide house, use, in
addition to a 2-inch overhead flow
pipe, ten. 1% -inch returns. Place two
of these upon each wall and two of the
others in each of the walks between the
solid beds. While a 1%-inch return
pipe will answer for connecting both
houses with the boiler, it will be bet-
ter to use a 2-inch pipe. In case the
pipes now in the wide house are to be
used for the coils, eight l^/^-inch pipes
may be substituted for the ten 1^-inch
ones. For the 21-foot house we would
use either six 1%-inch or five 1%-inch
returns, in addition to the 1%-inch over-
head main.

Will you give me some advice about
a change in the piping of the green-
house which is shown on the enclosed
sketch f The house, you will notice,
runs north and south and the boiler is
at the south end. As I have little use
for the whole house during the winter,
I am planning to run a partition cross-
wise through the center and only heat
the south half during the winter
months. A temperature of 50 degrees
would be suitable for my crop. What I
am anxious to know is how to arrange
the piping so as to have one-half of the
house at a temperature of 50 degrees
and the other half at 65 to 70 degrees,
and be able to drain the half which
would not be in use during the winter.
How much radiation would this re-

by three 2-inch flow pipes and fourteen
IVi-inch returns. The writer does not
state whether steam or hot water ia
used, but from the amount of radiation
used it would appear that hot water is
the heating medium. If the heat is to
be cut off from the north end of the
house during the winter, it will be
necessary to have a radiating system
for that end of the house entirely dis-
tinct from that in the other end and it
must be so arranged that it can be
drained.

Inch returns may be used in houses
fifty to sixty feet in length. For a
temperature of 50 degrees in the north
end of the house, we would use the
present flow pipes without change, ex-
cept that we would run them, downhill
from the boiler, giving a slope of one
foot. The returns in the north end of
the house may also be left as at pres-
ent, except that we would cut them
off at the partition and connect each
of the four coils with the boiler by
means of a 2-inch pipe. There should
be a good gate valve on each flow and
return main and each of the main re-
turns should have a valve for draining
off the water when the system is not in
use during the winter.

To heat the south end of the house to
65 degrees during the spring months,
we would run a 2^- inch flow pipe two
feet below the ridge and a 2-inch flow
pipe upon each plate, and connect them
with the return coils now in that por-
tion of the house. The addition of the
four returns from the north house and
the three flow pipes put in to supply the
south house, with the present radiation,
should give the desired temperature in
the spring, when both rooms are
warmed, while during the winter, with
the north portion cut out, the tempera-
ture will be little if any more than 50
degrees in the south room. We would
advise using two 3-inch main flow and
return pipes to connect the systems
with the boiler.

COAX. OR NATUIIAI. GAS?

Can you tell me the difference in the
results from a gas boiler and a coal
boiler, as to economy and efficiency?
I am thinking of putting in an emer-
gency boiler. The present boiler takes
care of my houses satisfactorily, but
if anything should happen to it, I
might have no end of difficulty in
keeping the place warm. I am now
using natural gas for fuel in a coal
boiler. The question now is, shall I put
in a gas boiler or another coal boiler f
J. J, B.— O.

Whether gas or coal is used as fuel,
there need be no difference in the boiler
except that a gas burner is required
for the former, while a g^ate is needed
for the latter. The comparative econ-
omy of the two kinds of fuel depends
largely, of course, upon the cost of
each in any particular locality, but due
allowance must be made for the saving
in the labor of firing and removing the
ashes, which make up a considerable
proportion of the expense of operating
a boiler heated by coal. As a rule,
gas is the cheaper fuel in localities
where there is an abundance of natural
gas.

Of course, when gas is used as fuel,
there ia some risk on account of low
pressure and other causes, especially in
extremely cold weather, when the heat
is most needed. Therefore since gas
is now used in the heating of the
greenhouses, we would suggest putting
in a coal-burning boiler as an emer-
gency measure, as this would then be
available even if the gas heating sys-
tem failed.

For Outdoor Use as
Well as Inside Work

Extract from a letter of Chas. S.
Dutton, one of our well satisfied
customers, of Holland, Mich.:

"We use the Skinner System out-
doors over frames in which we grow
ferns, primroses, cinerarias, cycla-
men, hydrangeas, etc. It gives us
here equally good account of itself
as for inside work, and we are cer-
tainly satisfied with it."

Roses are in fair supply. Easter

good demand. Asters are arriving heav-

seems to be plenty of red, but America
runs short of actual needs. Snapdragon

in, but they do not amount to much.
Water lilies, cornflowers and the first
Golden Glow mums are offered. Greens
are plentiful.

MILWAUKEE.

'' '• The Market.

Milwaukee is sweltering in one of the
hottest periods for some years, and the
lawiis and public parks are brown for
lack of rain, despite the artificial water-
ing they get each day. Stock, of course,
is affected strongly and the daily cut
is not good. The glut, which was at
its worst last week, is not so much in
evidence, because the carnation grow-
ers are throwing out their old plants.
Bose growers are drying off the benches
and this also helps to cut down the sup-
ply. The quality of the roses is only
medium, but no trouble is experienced
in disposing of the cut, although prices
are low. The first asters are here and
they are in good shape. The quantity
is so small, however, that they have no
influence on the market, but they are
sold readily. There are some excep-
tionally fine gladioli and these are sell-
ing well. ViSley is in sufScient supply
to take care of all orders. Business, of
course, is light.

VarioiiB Notes.

F. H. Holton, who is a Shriner and
also belongs to the band, has left with
the local membership on a trip through
the state. The special train will make
numerous stops of various lengths at the
different cities en route and will be on
the go almost continually till July 29.

F. B. Davis, proprietor of McKenney
ft Co., was taken ill July 20. His ill-
ness, coupled with the vacations of
some of the employees, makes the store
quite short-handed. The firm has just
moved to its new store, at 113 Wiscon-
sin street.

William Kuhl, with the Holton &
Hunkel Co., had the misfortune of los-
ing his sister, who died July 21. She
had undergone an operation about three
weeks previously.

A. H. Stolper, of Winnipeg, Man.,
stopped off in Milwaukee July 16. Ac-
companied by a friend, he is making
a tour of the continent during the slack
summer season.

L. B. Thorpe, foreman for the Green-
wood Carnation Co., submitted to an
operation in Duluth, Minn. He is pro-
gressing nicely, according to a postal
received the other day. It does not
state, however, when he will be able
to return to his duties. H. J. S.

^ H IS HARD TO ¥J
'^KICK AGURST THE mCKO

' Seema as if contractors in Qreenhouse construction Trpuld learn better than to try to "stem the flood."
Several have tried in late years to use a cheaper wood than Cypress — and some of them have come to grief.
Others have not attained to tiie prosperity their energy and vigilance would seem to deserve. If they would
but use the one specially created and certMed long-life wood, Caress, their experience might be different; but
to "buck" Cypress in Qreenhouse construction sp^s disaster to tiie contractor and ruin to the man who pays
for the job.

1% correct a c6mmon error it must be said, and now's a good time to say it, that these substitute woods
are all cheaper to buy than is "Tank Grade" Cypress. Beliable greenhouse contractors and supply men use
the very best product of the Qypress industry. They are not huntmg for something "cheap." Thej buy_ the
best grade of the bc«t lumber for their business. And for such racking employment as "staying put" in a
greenhouse, the best is none too good — and is the reai cheapest in the long run. . . . ' ,

And Cypress is IT. ., - /?

Of course you want PECKY CYPBESS, however, for your benches. And that is cheap enough to suit any-
body— and for such homely uses lasts longer than grades costillg more.

ASK US TO "pass THE GRAVY"

Those Cypress booklets are like gravy at a dinner— one can't do without them. Vol. 3 is the Greenhouse
Book; Vol. 4 is the Barn Book, and Vol. 28 is the Trellis and Arbor Book— all free. Then there is Vol. 36,
the book on Carpentry, which is both interesting and instructive— also it is free. Vol. 37 is the big new Silo
Book.' Ask us to pass you one, or a dozen— there are 41 free books in the library.

Annual Picnic.

Thursday, July 20, over 100 Lan-
caster county florists and their friends
held their annual picnic, at Avondale,
the farm of Mr. and Mrs. B. F. Barr.
Special cars conveyed the party from
Lancaster to the farm, on Marietta
pike. An inspection of the ornamental
grounds and formal gardens was made
and was greatly enjoyed.

On the spacious piazza were card
tables, where many participated . in
."500" and pinochle. Mrs. A. M. Herr
•. was winner in the latter game. Bowl-
ing on the green afforded much pleasure
for many. D. T. Connor, E. J. Fan-
court and Albert M. Herr rolled spec-
tacular games. The croquet grounds
were the scene of some really wonder-
ful playing, for among the players were
Charles B. Herr and J. Wade Gayley,
of Strasburg; J. Butter Hess, of Gap,
and Ira H. Landis, of Paradise, all of
whom are experts in this sport. Quoit
pitching furnished amusement for many,
while the children played "London
Bridge is Falling Down," etc.

At 4 p. m. the prearranged program
of sports was begun. The winners in
the potato races were Bobert Musser,
Lester Brown and Willis Weaver, while
the successful ladies were Bosanna
Bohrer, Elizabeth Kohr and Katharine
Weaver. The egg race was won by
Mary Kreider and Elizabeth Kohr. The
winners in the sack race were Paul
Wieaver and Edward Bohrer. In the
boys * race, Edward Bohrer was first
and Lester Brown second. In the g^rls*
race, Mary Weaver was first and Bos-
anna Bohrer second.

At 5 o'clock the lunch baskets ap-
peared on the lawn, and an enjoyable
hour followed. President Harry A.
Schroyer treated the entire party to
ice cream.

Business Meeting.

Following supper, a business meeting
of the club was held on the piazza.
Harry K. Bohrer, for the flower show
committee, reported having leased the
Auditorium for November 9 to 11, when
the second flower show of the club will
be held. Albert M. Herr moved that
one-half of the net proceeds from the
show be given to the fund toward build-
ing a state armory in Lancaster, where
eventually the club's flower shows may
be held.

The visitors from out of the city
were Mr. and Mrs. Edward Marshall,
Mr. and Mrs. Marshall, Sr., and Percy
Barnard, all of whom motored from
Kennett Square; E. J. Fancourt and
D. T. Connor and daughter, of Phila-
delphia; T. J. Nolan, of the King Con-
struction Co.; Misses Elton and Mary
Weaver, of Newport News, Va.

The committee that arranged the af-
fair consisted of Elmer J. Weaver, A.
F. Strickler and Budolph Nagel, all of
whom deserve much credit. H. K. B.

The Florists' Review

Jolt 27. 1916.

NASHVILLE, TENN.

Tlie Market.

From a business standpoint there was
little of importance during the last
two weeks. The rainfall has been ex-
ceptionally heavy and there has been
much damage done in the country, both
from water and wind. The trade, how-
ever, has suffered little, if any, direct-
ly. The cloudy weather had its influ-
ence in shortening the supply of cut
flowers, but as there was no great de-
mand for them it made little differ^ce.
Gladioli are the only flowers that are
plentiful. They are better this season,
on the average, than I have ever seen
them in this city. Asters are beginning
to come in, though in small sizes and
with short stems.

All • the carnations and chrysanthe-
mums now are in the houses, but there
still is a surplus of good carnations in
the field of as fine a quality as may be
found anywhere. Our growers are find-
ing that they always can sell a few
thousand plants to those who do not
grow their own.

There is a fair quantity of out-of-town
business, and this helps to keep up the
spirits while the pay crops are grow-
ing. The outlook for next year was
never better than at present. There
are about 1,500 teachers in attendance
at the Peabody summer school, and
while they are by no means heavy flow-
er buyers they are better than the same
number of college students. Betailers
agree that there is more business this
summer than usual.

Various Notes.

- Miss Carrie Chance, stenographer and
cashier for the Joy Floral Co., spent a
few weeks in the country. On her re-
turn Miss Lilian Joy left for a visit
to New York and other eastern points.

Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Joy and some
friends recently motored to Cincinnati.
They attended the convention of the
Botary clubs.

F. Bralliar reports that his canna
tests have produced some surprises this'
season, but none of them was more
agreeable than the wonderful showing
of La Fayette. His tests embrace about
150 sorts.

Mr. Haney, of Qeny Bros., reported
heavy out-of-town funeral orders that
have kept the stock cleaned up closely.
F. B.

Shepard, O. — A greenhouse is being
erected here by B. E. Myers, a new-
comer to the business, who is starting
out in a small way with carnations.

The constant success of Jacobs'
Greenhouses for a period of over
45 years has not been caused by
any teick of fortune. It should
be attributed to the efficiency of
our methods and our constant
endeavor to reach the point of
perfection.

The lilarket.

The supply of stock has shortened
considerably. Everything worth while
tends to clear daily, such as it is. The
quality of the stock is none too good,
but it nevertheless continues to move
readily. The demand is rather erratic.
Beauties are about the same as last re-
ported. Their sale is not at alt brisk.
Other roses arrive in an open condi-
tion. A few good roses may be had and
they sell readily. The color of Bussell
is somewhat off, while Ophelia roses
open too quickly in the heat. Bed roses
may be had, but there is small demand
for them.

Carnations are becoming poorer in
quality and the quantity is quite suffi-
cient. Some of them are not salable on
arrival. Easter lilies are about the
same as they usually are at this time
of the year — abundant and seemingly
at a standstill. Good sweet peas are
really a scarce article in the market, as
there still is a demand for them. Of
inferior sweet peas any quantity may
be had. Valley and orchids have fallen
off in demand as well as supply; in fact,
the former is extremely scarce. Snap-
dragon continues to sell easily, while
daisies, gaillardias, coreopsis, cornflow-
ers and candytuft are inclinec} to drag.
There are a few early asters in the
market, most of them with short stems.
Delphiniums experience a fair demand.
Greens of all kinds may be had in any
quantity at almost any price. A. E.

The Kasting Fire.

W. H. Eiss, secretary of the W. F.
Kasting Co., which was burned out on
the night of July 18, states that the
stock of florists' supplies which was
destroyed was valued at $25,000, with
insurance. The fire was a bad one to
fight, because of the inflammable na-
ture of a part of the stock and because
of the dense smoke, which overcame a
dozen firemen. The concern occupied
two floors and basement of the double
store. Business has been going on
much as usual since the fire in tempo-
rary quarters opened next day at 493
Washington street.

Hambleton, W. Va. — "Business this
year has been better than ever; bedding
plants were sold out completely and the
cut flower sales doubled those of last
year," says H. E. Hoefner, in speaking
of business in northeast West Virginia.

Then there are the Icind that spend it and have something worth while to

C What do you want when you spend, the most for your money or the best

your money can buy? The answer is simple enough. You want the best.

Quality, not Quantity, is true economy.
C Now, that is just where we come in. We buy quality and that is what we

NEWABK, N. J.

The Market.

For the season df the year, business
is keeping up well, but the volume, of
course, is much smaller than that of
41 month ago. Carnations have deterio-
rated so rapidly in quality that not
<nany of them are sold. Some of the
^retailers will not handle them until the
new crop comes in. Sweet peas do not
-fltand up well. Last week saw a great
increase in the receipts of gladioli and
asters. Gladioli undoubtedly will be
too plentiful and extremely cheap this
summer. Asters as yet are a trifle
small, but the size and quality are im-
proving each week. Large quantities
of ferns are being shown*

Roses are fairly good for midsummer.
Orchids are not so abundant as they
were and are much cheaper. There is
a greater variety of lilies; in addition
to the Easter lily and the calla, there
are several other varieties that have
made their appearance during the last
few weeks. Coreopsis, daisies, feverfew
and many other summer flowers pre-
dominate.

Various Notes.

r

The monthly meeting of the Essex
dounty Florists' Club was held at the
Krueger Auditorium July *7. The
principal matters under consideration
were the last details of the club outing,
tfrhich the committee in charge has ar-
ranged. The outing will be held Thurs-
day, August 3, at Berkeley Heights.
Some of the members will go in their
•own automobiles or those of their
friends. Those who do not have ma-
'«hines will go in auto busses. All will
■meet at Lincoln park, Broad street and
Olinton avenue, and will leave there at
•8:30 a. m., arriving at Berkeley Eteights
in time for a late breakfast. A late
■dinner will be served in the afternoon.
There wjll be athletic events, with
prizes for the winners, including a base-
't)all game.

H. Breuninger reports that business
was fine until July 1. Since then, as is
•usual, it has dropped off considerably.

A. Deisler & Son are doing well at
"their store at 31 Holland street, con-
■sidering the season. Things are a little
■quieter at the branch store at 430
"Eighteenth avenue.

The S. A. Rogers Nursery Co. has
installed a new cashier's booth and
trimmings at the rear of the show win-
dows of its store at 14 Vranford place.

Charles Luthy reports that business
is good, though now it is beginning to
die down. He thinks the whole sum-
mer's business will average higher than
usual. R. B. M.

The Market.

Market conditions are well up to
their usual July standing. Trade in
general has drooped somewhat, but
prices have kept up pretty well during
the last two weeks. Funeral work has
been heavy and a number of weddings
have taken place. Counter trade ia
not at all good. Immense quantities of
cut flowers arrive daily. Outdoor stock
has decreased, but there is still a lot of
it on the market.

Asters have made their appearance,,
but they are not of good quality, being
small and irregular in shape. Niagara
and America gladioli sell splendidly, re-
tailing at $1 to $1.50 per dozen. Car-
nations are quite soft, on account of
the intense heat of the last two weeks.
Eoses are plentiful, but it is a difficult
proposition to keep them in good shape.
Francis Scott Key, Ophelia and Mary-
land move well. Ward is losing its
color. The second crop of outdoor roses
is in now and the better varieties are
useful for design work. Easter lilies
are not overabundant. Valley is scarce.
Good candytuft, achillea, gypsophila
and mignonette are useful for basket
work, which appears to be increasing in
favor in this city. The supply of greens
meets all requirements.

Various Notes.

The condition of Fred Vick, whoso
illness was reported in this column last
week, has not undergone any noticeable
change.

Fred Zoller, who is an expert in color
photography, is away in the Adiron-
dacks and is taking a large number of
pictures, which he hopes to exhibit on
his return.

Hans MoUer, of Pittsf ord, N. Y., is
growing some wonderful Celosia cris-
tata.

Mr. and Mrs. Chas. W. Curtis and
daughter have returned from their vaca-
tion, which they spent at Troutburg,
N. Y. Mr. Curtis is cutting some fine
Niagara and America gladioli.

H. E. Wilson had a large decoration
at the Oak Hill Country Club last week
for the wedding reception of Miss Flor-
ence Colebrook, the dancing exponent^
and Mr. Wetmore. The decoration con-
sisted of thousands of Dorothy Perkins
roses, larkspurs and pink hollyhocks,
with a large quantity of palms and
ferns.

Miss Mary Smith, of George B.
Hart's, is away on vacation.

Mr. and Mrs. Ralph Howe and daugh-
ter, of Chicago, were the guests of Mr.
and Mrs. E. P. Wilson for a few days.
Mr. Howe is connected with the W. W.
Barnard Co., of Chicago. The party
now has left for Boston, Mass.

E. F. Kennon, of the Climax Mfg.
Co., Castorland, N. Y., called on the
trade last week.

George T. Boucher has a good sum-
mer decoration in his window. It con-
sists of a large water tank, about five
feet in diameter, completely surrounded
by natural rocks, among which ferns
and aquatic plants are arranged. It
has a center rockery, with a fountain.

Schuyler Arnold, of the Crescent Seed
Farm, Spencerport, is growing some
extra fine sweet peas, which find a
ready sale. He says that the stock on
his farm is doing well and the weather
of late has helped the crops along won-
derfully. H. J. H.

BALTIMOBE.

The Market.

Typical midsummer business condi-
tions are prevailing at present. Other
than funeral work, little business is be-
ing done, although the week 's end found
a little brisker tone to the market and
a better grade of stock in demand.
Gladioli are dominating the market and
are to be seen wherever flowers are sold.
The receipts of southern-grown stock
have been greatly added to by a heavy
supply of locally grown blooms; there
are far too many for the demand. Eoses
are in rather shorter supply and a few
more good whites could have been used
during the latter part of the week. Car-
nations are conspicuous by their ab-
sence, which is not felt. Asters still
are rather small and of poor quality.
The few good blooms coming in find
a ready sale, but the small ones are in
little demand. Lilies have been in good
demand and many are being used for
funeral work.

There still is an oversupply of greens,
bnt these have been moving better than
those of last week. The general busi-
ness has been fair for the season, with
a little extra spurt July 22,

Various Notes.

George Boring, who has been with
the Baltimore Wholesale Florists &
Supply Co. since its formation, has re-
turned to the S. S. Pennock-Meehan Co.

The Hamilton Flower Shop reports a
busy week of funeral work. One day
the entire force was busy with this one
line.

J. W. Penn's Sons are sending in
some fine astermums to the Leo Niessen
Co.

The excessively wet season is begin-
ning to show its effect on outdoor crops,
dahlias and carnations being especially
injured. R. Vincent,- Jr., reports that
his company has suffered much damage,
not only by washouts of plants but also
from many rotting away because of ex-
cessive moisture at the roots.

Callers last week included C. S. Ford,
of New York; E. F. Hoehl, representing
S. 8. Skidelsky & Co.; Sidney Bayers-
dorfer and D. T. Connor, all of Philadel-
phia. W. F. E.

BAB HABBOB, ME.

The sympathy of a host of friends
goes out to William Miller, lately man-
ager at the Mount Desert Nurseries,
and to Mrs. Miller, in the death of their
daughter, Margaret, 13 years of age,
July 10, following an operation for ap-
pendicitis.

John H. Stalford, of the Malvern
Greenhouses, does a large and increas-
ing business. Royal Jubilee melon
filled several houses and was grandly
fruited. One . house contained a fine
crop of Black Hambro and Muscat of
Alexandria grapes. Campanula pyra-
midalis, gloxinias, tuberous begonias
and hydrangeas are all grown in quan-
tity. Outdoors there were splendid
blocks of sweet peas, salpiglossis, an-
tirrhinums, pentstemons, phloxes and
other plants for cutting. Mr. Stalford
now operates the store formerly oper-
ated by F, H. Moses and has a grand
display of flowers there.

At the Mount Desert Nurseries, where
A. E. Thatcher is manager, the herba-
ceous collection is extensive and makes
a notable display. I was pleased to see
80 many fine varieties of saxifrages.

What's the Use of Getting All
"Het Up" on Heating?

THE fellows who get all "het up"
on their heating are the kind that
the minute they stop firing in the
spring never do a tap to their heating
until it's near firing time in the fall.

They are a good bit like this old gink
on the stove.

Nothing starts them short of start-
ing a. fire.

And then in a jiflfy they are all
"het up," and want everything done in
a minute.

They write us.

They phone us.

They wire us.

They come to see us.

They expect us to do the impossible —
and we come pretty close to doing it.

Getting "het up" that way, however,
costs money — too miich money. The
man who saves money is the man who
doesn't cool ofiF on his heating until it's
all in apple-pie order, ready to heat up
when heating time comes.

You know we go -anywhere to do
heating, or talk heating.

We have had an ideal week for all
plants growing outside and everything
is looking fine. The convention garden
is coming along nicely. There is one
bed of crotons that is a rainbow of
colors. The water lilies are beginning
to bloom and the cannas are in fine
growing condition.

The- Gulf Florist, Walter Retzer, pro-
prietor, states that business has begun
to drop off for the summer, but that it
still is good for the season.

John Young, of New York city, sec-
retary of the S. A. F., arrived in Hous-
ton July 17 and is lining up things for
the convention. Mr. Young and R. C.

Kerr left July 22 for San Antonio,
where they are to meet the florists at
the convention in August.

Mr, Carlisle, of Carlisle & Son, of
Alvin, is in th» city and says that
everything is coming along and that
they have a 2-acre tract of tuberoses
that is snow white.

Mr. Boyles, of Boyles & Pendarvis,
states they are having an excellent busi-
ness and that it has dropped off less
than usual on account of the summer
weather. They are getting a good deal
of their summer cut flowers on a tract
they own at Bellaire, where they are
intending to put up greenhouses this
fall for their winter cut flowers and
pot plants and growing department.

Stuppy Floral Company Build Big
House at St. Joseph, Missouri

FOR a good many years the Stuppy Floral Company have
been the big people of ^. Joseph. A glance at the size
of the range tells that.

The single big house, 50 feet by 400 feet, in the front is
the one we erected for them last year.

It's our iron frame construction with two columns, and
that special combined compression and tension truss stifTen-
ing of the frame.

It's practically the same method of framing that we use
in our 40-foot houses, when leaving out all columns.

Look at the free open space there is between the columns
on the interior view above. Now glance down at the eave
and notice those double gusset plates, which bolt together
the steel rafters and the guaranteed wrought iron posts.

Notice the frequency of the purlins— no skinning done on

the job to beat the other fellow out on price. For each
width house, we have certain definite framing methods, in
which certain weights of rafters and sizes of purlins are
used.

No amount of arguing can induce us to use any other,
because all our sizes have been figured out, not by one
engineer, but by all our engineers.

They are not the opinion of any one man.

They are the conclusions of a dozen men. backed up by
all our years and years of greenhouse building experience.

And speaking of experience, we are the only firm who for
over one- half century have been building greenhouses ex-
clusively. In spite of all that may be said to the contrary
we always have, and are today, building ihe best Green-
bouses built, and using the best materials procurable.

^ Early- Flowering Long Season

SPENCER SWEET PEAS

For Winter Flowering Under Glass

Since the introduction of Yarrawa Spencer Sweet Peas, great effort has been made on the part of Californian and Australian
growers to produce Early-flowering Spencer Sweet Peas. We offer a list of varieties by one of the most prominent Californian and
one of the most prominent Australian growers. One of their chief characteristics is their long-season period of blooming, frequent-
ly remaining in bloom for four months. Erery one of the crosses was made from the "bid Early-flowering or Christmas Grandiflora
tyiies on the late or Standard Spencers as parents. We feel that there will be little demand for the common or Grandiflora Win-
ter-flowering type, and have, therefore, decided to discontinue offering the same. ^ ,

CALirORNIidN VARIETIES

BEADY FOB DELIVERY AUG08T-8EPTEMBER
EABIiY MOBNING STAB

The color is a deep orange scarlet or flame color In stand-
ard, with rich, orange-pink wings. The flower is practically
the same color as the Late-flowering Spencer Thomas Steven-
son. It does not burn out in the open and under glass will
be magnificent. The flowers are large and of best Spencer
form, and borne In threes and fours In wonderful profusion.
Pkt., 15 seeds, 25c; %-oz., fl.50; oz., $6.00.

EABLY SNOWIXAKE

This is one of the best Early-flowering White-seeded White
Spencers. The blossoms are very large and of the best waved
Spencer form. The flowers are borne in wonderful profusion
on long stems. The form is every bit as good as White
Spencer. Pkt., 15 seeds, 25c; ^ oz., $1.50; oz., $5.00.

E^VBLY SPRING MAID

Those who are familiar with the Late-flowering Spencer
Mrs. Hugh Dickson, will have a good idea of what a hand-
some variety this is. The color Is a light pink on a cream
ground, and ihe blossoms have the same splendid charac-
teristics of Mrs. Hugh Dickson for a florists' flower. It is a
most effective flower and, like our other Early-flowering
Spencers, it carries a great wealth of blossoms borne in
fours on long stems. There is no Early Spencer Cream Pink
which is as attractive as Early Spring Maid. Pkt., 25 seeda,
25c; ^ oz., $1.25; oz., $4.00.

EARLY MELODY

This Is a deeper shade of pink than Early Song Bird on
white ground, closely resembling Countess Spencer and near
Hercules. It might be described as rose pink on white
ground. The effect, when bunched, is most pleasing. It is
very floriferous. The flowers are borne on long stems and
most four large, well-waved blossoms to each stem. Pkt.,
26 seeds, 25c; V4 oz., $1.25; oz., $4.00.

EARLY SONG BIRD

The flower is the same color as Florence Morse Spencer and
Lady Evelyn Eyre, and a bit lighter than Elfrida Pearson.
It has the same excellent form and features of Mrs. Hugh
Dickson, but is on a white ground. The placement of the
flowers is splendid for packing and the flowers are borne on
long stems in threes and fours. When in full growth it
seemed as though every stem carried four large blossoms.
Pkt., 25 seeds, 25<!; H oz., $1.26; oz., $4.00.

EARLY HEATHER BELL

This will be one of the most popular shades with all florists,
as it will be useful for making up for any occasion. It is a
little like the "Variety known as Anita Webrman, but vastly
superior in every way. The flowers are very large, borne Ic
fours and threes on long, stout stems, and are of beautiful,
bold Spencer form. The color is a rich but pleasing mauve,
but after standing in water the color becomes a beautiful
mauve lavender. Pkt., 25 seeds, 25c; % ox., $1.50; oz., $5.00.

AUSTRALIAN VARIE I lES

BEADY FOR DELIVERY NOW
CONCORD STRAIN

Pkt., 18 seeda each of aajr of the following varieties, 35c;

S pkts., $1.50

CONCORD PINK. A beautiful, new variety of a most attrac-
tive shade of delicate pink. The flowers are large and of

true Spencer form. The stems, which are long and strong,

usually carry 8 large flowers.
CONCOBD CBIMSON. A variety of great merit on account

of Its glowing color. It is a rich crimson; the flowers, of

true Spencer form, are borne on strong, stiff stems.
CONCOBD LAVENDER. Without a doubt this is the finest

of all Lavender Wlnter-flowerlng Sweet Peas. The color

is a beautiful shade of rich, rosy lavender. The flowers

are of true Spencer form.
CONCORD WHITE. A splendid, pure white variety of won-
derful vigor and substance. The flowers are pure white

and of ideal Spencer form, borne three and four to the

stem.
CONCORD SALMON. A rich shade of salmon pink and very

free flowering. The flowers are borne three and four to a

stem and are of true Spencer form.
CONCORD BLUE. This magnificent variety is of a beautiful

sky-blue color, sometimes varying darker, the variation,

however, being slight. Quite the finest sky-blue we know

of.

CONCORD PURPLE. A leader in Its color. When first
opening, a delightful shade of mauve purple, changing, as
the flower aigres, to purple blue. The flowers are of Ideal
Spencer form and quite large.

IN building motor trucks it is the policy of The White

cost. This policy is founded on the conviction that nothing
less sturdy, or less refined, or less expensive, can efficiently

THE KLASTIC-LYKE CO.
SO Bast Randolph Street. ORiOAas

During the past few years florists have
given considerable thought to the painting
problem, with a view toward increasing
the light in their houses. This has re-
sulted in a greater use of a Gloss Oil
Paint in preference to lead and oil and
other products producing a semi-gloss
finish.

Bilchaco Greenhouse White has there-
fore met with a warm reception, since it
possesses exceptional light reflecting qual-
ities, sheds water and dust and wears
well, retaining its original gloss for the
longest possible time.

It is said that Bilchaco Greenhouse

White prevents mold and mildew on the
sash bars where glass laps occur. Keep-
ing the bars clean and free from spore or
fungus growths insures better light and
absolute protection from decay.

Bilchaco Greenhouse White covers max-
imum surface and consequently costs lessi
by the job.

If you are going to paint this season trr
this product. It will mean better light,
more flowers and greater profit. Write,
the Billings-Chapin Co., Cleveland. Bos-
ton or New York, for a quotation on your
requirements. Paint makers for more
