Why, he is even adver- tising in the daily papers. Now that’s just throw- ing money away. If people want violets, they don’t have to be told that a florist sells them. They sure wouldn't expect to find them at an insurance agent’s.”’ That’s the kind of talk you heard not so long ago about S. F. Stephens’ Son, who is certainly a live wire chap. He is one of the kind who is full of pep and modern ideas about selling. Last October I stopped off there on my way from Chicago, and had one of the most delightful talks with Father & Son. ‘O" he’s just one of them college fellers come N17 COLD: COLL 7 7) YP SA An old wooden house had been torn down and © replaced-by one of our Semi-Iron. That's why | < was there. Plans are all planned fora gradual re- 1 moval of all the old-timey houses; and modern ones substituted. Kiverywhere about the place there were contin- ual evidences of a carefully thought out, well work- ing system. There was that same snap and activity about the men in their work that you findin present day up-tu-date business concerns; whether it be the Steel Industry or Liggett’s Drug Stores. ord Builders of Greenhouses and Conservatories SALES OFFICES FACTORIES: IRVINGTON, N. Y. & Vi DES PLAINES, ILL. 8T. There are three times as many more houses back of these. The wide one at the left is the first one of the plan to replace all the houses with up-to-date ones. This one is 36x109 feet. Putit up themselves. It’s a splendid job. Does Advertising Pay? One Florist’s Answer. Then there was a big book pasted full of ads that had been run in the daily papers. Whata joy it was to look at it; from the very first little two- inch one, right up to what they are doing now! There was nothing particularly clever about them. No, not that kind of advertising. None of the trickeries sometimes resorted to, to attract at- tention They were just frank, sunny-faced ads , that said what they had to say in the same convinc- ing way young Mr. Stephens talks. People liked him from the start. They also liked the kind of stock he sold. It was exactly the same superior kind he had said he would sell them. They liked the kind of very particular, consid- erate treatment they received; whether it was for a single potted geranium or dozens of American Beauties. They liked the helpful help hints so courteously offered. Just naturally, people buy most where they like most. “Fool new fangled notions’ become sound business sense, when they make the cash register riny merrily. = . It’s ringing for S. F. Stephens & Son. That’s their answer to your question, ‘‘Does Advertising pay?’’ And don t forget—we build greenhouses. , NEW YORK BOSTON PHILADELPHIA DETROIT ROCHESTER CLEVE 42d Street Bldg. Tremont Bldg.

The Florists’ Review Superiora Magnolia Leaves —the biggest selling because they are the best ! For your own protection, Mr. Florist, accept ‘“Superiora’’ Magnolia Leaves only. to use. Remember the name, ‘‘Superiora.” They are the best—the business-building kind—for you REFUSE IMITATIONS “SUPERIORA” BRAND MAGNOLIA LEAVES ARE SOLD BY EVERY WHOLESALE FLORIST IN THE UNITED STATES AND CANADA ; What better proofs than these endorsements by the wholesale trade? Pittsburgh Cut Flower Co., of Pittsburgh, Pa., writes: ‘Your ‘Superiora’ Magnolia Leaves are the best leaves that we have ever handled, and we have had no complaint from any of our customers who bought these leaves from us. We have stored these leaves un- der all conditions and found that they will not mould; it is a very satisfactory leaf indeed.” Reed & Keller, of New York City, say: “. . . and we beg leave to acknowledge receipt of your last shipment of Magnolias, and we are indeed pleased to say that they are superior in every way. We further state that our experience in leaves from other dealers has been very unsatisfactory; colors vary and leaves mould quickly, etc.” CO. E. Critchell, of Cincinnati, Ohio, writes: ‘‘My customers insist on having the ‘Superiora’ brand of Magnolias, as they claim these are the best, and that they do ie dry out or become mouldy, and that every leaf can be used, and when this is taken into considera- tion, they are also the cheapest, besides being the best.”’ Geo. H. Angermueller, of St. Louis, Mo., says: “It pleases me to say that I have worked up a splendid business on your ‘Superiora’ Magnolia Leaves, and I credit my success to the fact that the quality of your leaves has always been entirely satisfactory to my customers, etc, Michi Cut Flower Exchange, Detroit, Mich., says: ‘We have been handling your ‘Superiora’ Magnolia Leaves for the past six years and find in all this time that we have had no complaints but many compliments on these goods., etc., etc.’’ New England Florist Supply Co., of Boston, Mass., writes: ‘““Have found ‘Superiora’ Magnolias the best leaves on the market.

DUX The McCallum Co., of Pittsburgh, Pa., says: “Other Magnolia preparers have tried to induce us to stock up their goods ‘just as good as Dux’s’ at a cheaper price, but we have in each instance told them frankly that it was a case of quality with us, and that we did not think their leaf would give the satisfaction yours did. We con- sider our Magnolia trade one of the best assets of our business and will not take a chance of losing it; in fact, our traveling men are often greeted as ‘Magnolia Kings.’ ”’ The Kervan Co., of New York City, writes: ‘We have handled your Magnolia leaves for several years and we take pleasure in announcing that our already long list of satisfied customers con- tinues to grow. Since we have handled your leaves we have never had a complaint, but before that there was dissatisfaction.” L. Baumann & Co., of Chicago, Ill., write: ‘We regard your ‘Superiora’ Magnolia Leaves as being unequaled and certainly would not want to have anything else. Your leaves need no recom- mendation—they speak for themselves.” * Wm, F. Kasting Co., of Buffalo, N. Y., writes: “Have always found that the ‘Superiora’ brand gives our customers entire satisfac- tion; in fact, they are the best leaves we have been able to obtain in the last few years.” Jos. E. Koppelman, of Providence, R.

The switch, it is said, can be ‘‘thrown on’? for a while in the morning and again in the afternoon, or the entire system may be arranged so as to act automatieally, as it does in the Penn store, maintaining the desired tempera- ture steadily without any attention. While speaking of economy, it might he well to mention that the installation of this new system does not necessitate throwing out the old refrigerator and replacing it with a new one, unless the old one is so inferior as to deserve no better fate. All that is needed, it is said, is to substitute some piping for the old—but ever to be renewed— chunk of ice.

The garden committee of the Massa- chusetts Horticultural Society and a few invited guests visited the establishment of William Sim, at Cliftondale, March 31, to see his remarkable display of giant polyanthus primroses. Mr. Sim since starting in business has shown peo- ple how to grow certain specialities on a big scale and of the highest quality. He always seems to have something up his sleeve. Princess of Wales violets came first. These he planted to the extent of 100,000. Then came sweet peas. In house after house they are grown as they have never been before in America. Tomatoes, a summer crop, are picked by the ton daily; there are acres of early sweet corn started under glass, acres of gladioli of all the best bybrids and now hardy primulas grown of a quality and in such a quantity as to make visi- tors veritably gasp. No less than 25,000 polyanthus, mostly yellow and white in color, are blooming at present. They include some beautiful varieties which are being carefully marked and saved for propagation. One bed 200 feet long, of a pale yellow poly- anthus, true to type in every plant, was particularly fine. I measured individual flowers two inches in diameter and many of the stalks stood eighteen inches high. Two houses, each 200 feet long, are de- voted to this crop, and a glorious sight they are. The accompanying illustra- tion gives a view of the plants in one of the houses. Others are grown out- doors for later blooming. From these the mulch had not yet been removed. Auriculas are also being tried out and a 200-foot bed of them contained some fine varieties. These and the primulas are grown outdoors under cheesecloth through the summer. Two large houses are devoted to carnations. These looked well. Varieties grown are Benora, Ward, Matchless, Alice and Beacon. One house is devoted to roses. Several houses were planted to sweet peas. The earliest were in bloom, while others would come in for Memorial day. Single violets occupied several houses and were blue with flowers for Easter. Sweet peas were coming along to follow them and they looked vigorous. Following an inspection of the houses, Mr. Sim served refreshments. David R. Craig, for the garden committee, thanked Mr. Sim for the courtesies extended and praised his wonderful display. Remarks were made by W. J. Stewart, James Wheeler, J. K. M. L. Farquhar, W. N. Craig and Thomas Roland. Mr. Roland’s Revere Houses. After leaving Cliftondale the commit- tee, escorted by Thomas Roland, visited Mr. Roland’s new establishment at Revere. Three mammoth houses have been erected here by the Lord & Burn- ham Co.; every up-to-date idea in build- ing construction has been incorporated in them. One house 63x525 is devoted to roses; another 79x650, thirty-five feet to the ridge, is also planted to roses. This newest house is certainly one of the builders’ masterpieces. Roses in the first house are now in their fourth year. They are pruned back‘quite hard each year and are in splendid condition. In the larger house the roses are in their second year. Flowers of medium quality are wanted and fancy ones are not de- sired. All the plants were in perfect health. Of Richmond 12,000 are grown. This variety does splendidly here. Ophelia, Ward, Killarney Queen, Double White Killarney, Dark Pink Killarney and Elger are other varieties grown. The house of sweet peas, 50x600, con- tains ten rows of plants, which now stand eight to nine feet in height and are smothered with blooms on long stems. Only one or two varieties are grown, Christmas Pink Spencer predomi- nating. Not a sickly plant could be seen in the entire house, from which Mr. Roland estimated there could be cut fully 100,000 stalks at the time of our visit. Everything on this establishment is in as near perfect condition as possi- ble, cleanliness ruling everywhere, as well as quality. Mr. Roland, noted asa pot plant wizard at Nahant, has done wonders at Revere, and both he and his manager, A. A. Livermore, deserve con- gratulations on the results achieved. W.N. C.

The stock advertising folder sold to one florist in a town by a concern not well acquainted with the needs of the trade, carried the sentence, ‘‘Our plant display will be arranged for inspection April 6, 7 and 8.’’ Invite customers to view the display on Easter Sunday!. Don’t florists read the stock ads they are asked to buy? Or do they read with- out thinking? Who wants anyone to ‘‘inspect’’ the plant display on Easter Sunday? If the ‘‘display’’ isn’t a wreck, sold out and delivered Easter morning, with what will the florist pay for his folders? Everybody who is in touch with the trade knows that what is needed is not to delay the ‘‘inspection’’ of the dis- play until Easter and the two days pre- ceding, but to start the buying early— the rush at the last minute already is too great for the best interests of the business. BED OF HARDY PERENNIALS. I would like to have you give me sug- gestions in regard to a circular flower bed. It measures sixty feet across and is to be planted to hardy perennials. I wouid like to have plants that will bloom from spring until fall. What plants would be best for the center and border, if a border is needed? Please tell me how these should be planted to get the best effect, how far apart they should be set and how many plants of each variety would be needed. W. E. J.—N., Y. Your bed cannot, in the first season, make so effective and striking a show as one of cannas and other subtropical plants. On the other hand, your bed will be vastly better the second and third seasons. The clumps should be lifted and divided every fourth year. A heavy manuring and deep spading should be given at that time, and a mulch of well rotted manure applied each fall. You cannot plant a bed of hardy perennials as you would one of cannas, Rings of a par- ticular plant would be ineffective. You should use good-sized clumps contain- ing six to twelve plants each of the bolder plants, dovetailing some lower- growing subjects between them. In the average hardy perennial border it is not advisable to use all tall plants at the back and gradually slope others towards the edge. Most of the taller growing plants do not flower until late summer or fall. For that reason it would be inadvisable to use them only in the cen- tral part of the bed. They should have plants of more moderate height alter- nated. It is well to remember that no one kind of hardy perennial will keep on flowering all summer, as do some annuals and such bedding plants as cannas, geraniums or ageratums. Some kinds, like delphiniums, will, however, give a good second crop. In a bed of this size some staking will be absolutely necessary to keep the plants presentable. You could mate- rially lengthen the floral display by planting masses of tulips, early and late, narcissi and crocuses for spring flower- ing, while clumps of such lilies as au- ratum, speciosum, tigrinum, candidum and Henryi also will materially assist. For early spring effects pansies, double daisies and forget-me-nots could be ad- vantageously used. Do not plant them in mixtures, but in guod-sized blocks of one color. WE at he USERS SA Sib tat Apri 5, 1917. The Florists’ Review 17 Decoration by Mrs. M. E. Irby, of the Flower Shop, in One of the Leading Churches at Memphis, Tenn. The following plants can be used in the bed to make an effective showing the first season. Some of the heleniums, asters or helianthus may become crowded the second year, but the bal- ance should succeed if replanted once in four years: 10 Bocconia cordata, 8 feet (use in center). 100 delphinium hybrids, 5 to 6 feet. 250 digitalis, or foxgloves, 3 to 4 feet. 100 hollyhocks, 6 to 8 feet. 200 Iris Germanica, in 4 or.5 varieties, 2 feet. 100 peonies, in 5 or 6 varieties, 3 to 3% feet. 200 ee paniculata, in 5 or 6 varieties, 3 to 4 eet. 100 Pyrethrum roseum, 2 feet. 50 Pentstemon barbatus Torreyi, 3 to 4 feet. 25 Helianthus rigidus Miss Mellish, 5 to 6 feet. 25 Helianthus mollis, 5 to 6 feet. 50 Aster Tataricus, blue, 6 feet. 60 Aster White Queen, white, 4 feet. 50 Aster umbellatus, white, 4 feet. 50 Aster Perry’s Pink, pink, 4 feet. 25 Boltonia asteroides, 5 to 6 feet. 100 ss rt a maximum King Edward VII, eet. 100 Aquilegia chrysantha, 2 to 21% feet. 25 Helenium autumnale superbum, 5 to 6 feet. 25 Helenium Riverton Gem, 4 to 5 feet. 25 Hemerocallis Thunbergii, 3 feet. 25 Hemerocallis flava, 3 feet. 50 Platycodon grandiflorum, 2 feet. 60 Campanula persicifolia, 2 to 2% feet. 50 Achillea The Pearl, 2 to 2% feet. 50 Anemone Japonica alba, 4 feet. 100 Lupinus polyphyllus, 2 to 2% feet. 200 Funkia subcordata grandiflora, 1% feet. The funkia would make a suitable bordering for your bed. Plant at least ten irises, phloxes, delphiniums, asters, pyrethrums, aquilegias, campanulas and lupinus in a mass, and at least five of such robust subjects as_ heleniums, helianthus and boltonias. Hollyhocks, digitalis and peonies can be dotted over the bed singly or in small clumps. Many more varieties could be used, but the foregoing list will give you a long suc- cession of flowers, and the use of hardy: bulbs, especially Darwin and Cottage tulips, will make it all the more at- tractive. C. W. SOON COMES THE BRIDE. After Easter come the spring wed- dings, which provide us with much work until the latter part of June. Church weddings give opportunity for our most elaborate and artistic decorative work, while bouquets for the bride and brides- maids call for novel effects and ingeni- ous combinations. This class of work should be better this year, the general prosperity of the country being considered. When there is money to spend, no parent will be nig- gardly with the daughter who is about to become a bride. Consequently we may look for a banner season of wed- ding work to begin right after Easter. Accompanying is an illustration of the church decorations for a fashionable wedding at Memphis, Tenn. The decora- tive scheme was designed and carried out by Mrs. M. E. Irby, of the Flower Shop, Memphis. The aisle decorations were strings of asparagus. On each of the first six pews there was a bunch of Dorothy Per- kins roses with a bow of pink tulle. The same roses were on every fourth pew toward the rear of the church. The altar decoration had eight candle- sticks, which held more than sixty can- dles. Tall wicker vases at either side of the altar were filled with pink peo- nies, pink roses and Easter lilies. The background of greens was of palms. The bouquets for bride and brides- maids pictured in the accompanying il- lustration, were designed and made by Miss Kate Harris, also of the Flower Shop, Memphis.

When the great plant holiday is over, many of the benches present a more or less cyclonic appearance. This is what is hoped for. It gives us a lot of badly needed space for the quantities of bed- ding plants which have been demanding more space for some weeks. It also gives us a chance to properly bench hydran- geas, rambler and other roses, spireas and various other plants for Memorial day. Growth between now and May 30 will be much more rapid than it has been and the plants will make a better show- ing in one week than in a fortnight in February. Take good care of any left- over azaleas. None may be imported next fall, but if you pick the seeds from unsold stock and either set out these old plants or plunge the pots where they cin get plenty of syringing and water at the root, they will flower well next year.

No matter whether you grow or buy your hardy perénnials, climbers, roses, ete., it is a good guess that you will each year get a number of calls for them when it is too late to move stock safely from the open ground. However, if you have potted a number of each variety,. you can plant at any time such peren- nials as phloxes, larkspurs, columbines, lupines, Shasta daisies, Japanese anem- ones and others; also such hardy climbers as Clematis paniculata and the Jackmanii hybrids, Ampelopsis Veitchii and A. Engelmannii, Aristolochia Sipho, the climbing loniceras, wistarias, trum- pet vines, bitter-sweets, Akebia quinata, etc., as well as hardy roses of any kind. Place these, when potted, in a frame or cool greenhouse, preferably the former, and let your customers know you carry such stock in pots. Winter-Flowering Begonias. With the Easter rush over, you may have time to give a little more attention to your plants of such winter-flowering begonias as Gloire de Lorraine, Glory of Cincinnati, Melior and Mrs. Peterson, as well as hybrids of the winter-flowering type. Give these a shift into pots a size larger before they become at all pot- bound. Use a compost consisting chiefly of partly rotted leaves and sand, with a little fine, old manure scattered through it. Keep the plants in a warm, moist house, not heavily shaded, and they will soon fill the new pots with roots. Win- ter Cheer, Ensign, Optima, Mrs. Heal and other English sorts make small tubers from which new shoots will start. Do not keep these too moist until the growths appear above the soil; then apply water somewhat more freely. Annuals in Frames. Some seeds of annuals are of easy germination and the seedlings make a rapid growth. For such varieties early April is a good time to sow in a gentle hotbed. Among these annuals are to be classed calendulas, French and African marigolds, salvias, zinnias, everlastings in variety, successional sowings of stocks and asters, lupines, cosmos, lark- spurs, bachelor’s buttons, etc. Some of these can, if desired, be planted out and flowered in the frames. Provided they have a good bed of manure below them and are occasionally watered, they will make a fine growth and will yield a lot of useful flowers before the same va- rieties sown outdoors come in season. ROSE SHOW PICK-UPS. There was a swarm of bees—figura- tively—and much honey was gathered at the Philadelphia rose festival, which was so successfully conducted that everyone interested in the undertaking was more than pleased with the results. Said F. R. Pierson, of Tarrytown, N. Y.: ‘“When one saw the crowd that poured in March 24, for example, while Jupiter Pluvius was doing his best to put a damper on everything, one realized it as more than a passing fad and rejoiced in the fact that the effort to elevate and educate the public in horticulture is re- ceiving such practical appreciation.’’ John F. Horn, of Horn & Bro., of Allentown, Pa., described the show as a perfect cornucopia. Fred Lautenschlager, of Chicago, re- ceived a-shock while conversing with the Johnston Heating Co. representa- tive. The fire curtain, in rising, made a terrible racket. ‘‘Should one of our biggest boilers explode, which we do not anticipate, I would not feel affected so badly,’’ observed Mr. Lautenschlager. Prof. E. A. White, of Cornetl Univer- sity, was an interested visitor. He ex- pressed deep appreciation of the liberal response of the craft in restocking the houses depleted by the recent gas ac- cident. W. W. Hannell, accompanied by Mrs. Hannell, was especially interested in a select group of hydrangeas. ‘‘ While we can show as fine stock at Watervliet, it is good to see what our confreres are doing,’’ observed our worthy friend. August Sauter, of Nyack, N. Y., re- ceived first prize for some magnificent spikes of mignonette, their perfume be- ing described by a fair daughter as ‘““heavenly.’’ George L. Stillman, of dahlia fame, Westerly, R. I., had some immense dah- lia blooms on exhibition, showing the possibilities of tremendous enlargement. Maurice Fuld, of New York, stopped long enough during a personally con- ducted tour to express the opinion that the possibilities through publicity are unlimited, mentioning the fact that on one afternoon he sold 200 ounces of sweet pea seed at a top price. ‘‘ Yes, all colors,’’ said Mr. Fuld, ‘‘although our specials are pink and white.’’ A. H. MacDonald, of Gimbel’s, Mil- waukee, was much interested in the table decorations, the finest he ever saw. While his city is already famous, he believes he can introduce some new and superior ideas in flower work. W.M. SEASONABLE SUGGESTIONS FOR SOUTHERN FLORISTS PRIMULAS IN THE SOUTH. There is no special difficulty in grow- ing primulas in al sections of the south, except in the southern parts of those states bordering on the gulf, where the summer climate, with its accompanying rain storms, is rather too severe a hand- icap. The plants grow easily and rap- idly if given the proper soil and situa- tion. The soil at-all times must be of a light texture, to permit the fine roots to work freely. A good proportion of leaf-mold should be added to the soil, with a sixth of the compost old, rotted cow manure that has passed through a quarter or half-inch screen. The pots must always be well drained. Place a piece of potsherd over the hole and over that a half to one inch of sifted cinders, according to the size of the pot. A heavy shade is not required, even during the summer, a lath shade being all that is necessary. ~WLK” L.D. Phone Randolph 631 Late orders given prompt and Write, Wire or Phone.

Bz PHILADELPHIA. The Market. Popular excitement and extreme heat are always counted as unfavorable to business in the cut flower market. Both were present during the week ending April 4. There was a great patriotic rally in Independence square Saturday afternoon, March 31, that blocked the trolleys for squares and cut off the de- mand. The following day was memor- able for its high temperature, which re- sulted in heavy receipts of rather soft flowers. Sweet peas suffered most. It looked as though the growers had begun to allow the flowers to develop fully on the vines, with a view to Easter sup- plies. The heat caught them at just the wrong time, bringing great quantities of peas in a most ripe condition into the market on the following days. Despite these few drawbacks, general business has been excellent. The no- ticeable changes are a shortening in the supply of orchids and an increased sup- ply of indoor-grown asparagus. Large, well colored cattleyas have advanced sharply. The ordinary-sized and lightly colored flowers are more plentiful and lower in price. It seems that every- body who grew Asparagus plumosus is cutting just a little more—the total re- ceipts of indoor and southern plumosus are much heavier than a fortnight ago.

The ordinary varieties are unlikely to do so, but Beauties, Hadley, Ophelia and Ward are expected to feel the holiday demand. Valey will be in lighter demand than a year ago, which is probably just as well, as a higher price seems unavoidable. Violets are nearly over. The doubles were looked upon as certain to be available at Easter. Sweet peas will be the important corsage flow- ers April 8.

The azaleas are especially fine. There are quite a number of specimen plants of Mme, Vander Cruyssen that measure four feet across the mass of buds in bloom. Then, too, there is Hinodegiri, with its bright color. The center of the window was filled by a great handle basket of baby rose plants in full bloom, their rich pink colors contrasting with the delicate Alice blue of the great bow of ribbon above. The green and white of Pandanus Veitchii was placed next to the brilliant rose-pink of the azalea. The richness of the window effect was increased by a liberal use of green.

Every florist had a special display in his greenhouses Palm Sunday that was enjoyed by many friends and neighbors. One of these displays was opened to the public at the William K. Harris place. A blue-coated guardian of the law stood at the entrance of the wide-open shed doors. Behind him was a magnificent array of blooming plants that stretched down the entire length of the shed on each side, with a broad pathway in the middle.

The most striking novelty among the plants in the shed was Astilbe America, the new pink spirea. The plants were extremely fine; the flower spikes large, their color a bright, pleasing pink. John W. Prince speaks highly of America. He considers it much better than Queen Alexandra, or the other pink, whose name has escaped me. The bottle brush, though not a novelty, is not so common today. The French hydrangeas take a leading position. Mme. Emile Mouil- lere, General de Vibraye and Lilie Mouil- lere are the three varieties grown. They presented a fine appearance. The lilies, all giganteum, are well budded, well timed and of good height. Ellen Poulsen was the most notable rose, partly on account of its lovely flowers and partly because it is the only fra- grant variety of the polyantha type. While most of the roses were of the baby family, the tall-growing class was fairly represented. Among them were some good specimens of the old Crimson Rambler. The carried-over azaleas were the best. They show an even mass of buds difficult to attain in freshly im- ported stock. There were some lilacs and rhododendrons and deutzias, and a great lot of Spirea Gladstone. All were well grown. SS The Florists’ Review ApRIL 5, 1917. iu al The Shop Windows. It was a little too soon for the Easter display at Grakelow’s; still, there was a suggestion of Easter that was quite unmistakable. A neatly executed sign reminded the beholder of the day when the Easter display would be ready for inspection within. The window itself was a further reminder of the near ap- proach of the greatest day in the church ealendar. The window is well adapted to displays. It is quiet in coloring, yet with a rich elegance that aims not to compete with the floral picture that it frames. The floral picture consisted of plant baskets, in solitaire, so te speak. Handle plant baskets would better de- scribe, each with a single specimen in its embrace. One was Rhododendron Pink Pearl, another Azalea Mme. Van- der Cruyssen, and so on. But you want to know about the pro- prietor of this elegant shop. There he is, just inside, talking. to someone. Charles H. Grakelow is one of those sunny young men with whom it is a pleasure to talk. Naturally he has a great many friends. Everybody likes him and he is on the highroad to suc- cess—an entirely self-made young man, whose ability and industry are bring- ing reward after quite a good many years of hard work. Various Notes.

The Robert Craig Co. has been mak- ing heavy shipments of plants each day. Robert Craig is pleased with the popu- jarity of Nephrolepis Norwood, the new ern. The London Flower Shop made a beau- tiful display at the bazaar in Horticul- tural hall March 31, in gid of the Brit- ish soldiers. The junior partner of William J.

But ship- ments were heavy, the demand contin- ued light, and the week end found the cut flower market overloaded and the iceboxes full. There was nothing lack- ing. Prices commenced to harden as the present week opened, in anticipation of the near approach of Easter. In violets and carnations the pickling process was already in evidence, violets especially being unsatisfactory. Better stock and higher prices were confidently expected as the week progressed. It is evidently spring at last and all the signs are here. The temperature was 60 Saturday and the sunshine gave promise of a wonderful crop of roses for the holiday. The arrivals of American Beauties increase daily and prices for the selects dropped to 50 cents and un- der. Hadley was running an even race with Beauty. The Killarneys, Prima Donna, Sunburst, Ophelia, Russell and Shawyer occupy the next claim to popu- larity, and Radiance, Stanley, Hoosier Beauty, Mock and Ward all promise good returns to the rose growers at Easter. A great many short-stemmed of almost all kinds were in the market, of ApRIL 5, 1917. BASKET Mossing $4.80 per dozen $35.00 per 100 Not less than 40 at hundred price.

Some sleepy stock came in Saturday and the grower was fortunate to receive $1 per hundred. There is an abundance of gardenias. The street men have them, but choice flowers hold at $3 per dozen. There will be plenty for the holiday. The wholesale stores already are filled with lilies and $6 per hundred was high last week. Many are booking their or- ders for Easter at $10 per hundred. There may be some long-stemmed and in pots that will bring $12, but the gen- eral expectation of average is $10 per hundred. Valley closed the week at $5. A few hundred fine flowers brought $6. The supply is limited. ; There still is a good supply of freesia and there will be plenty, it seems, until after Easter. Acacia is done, the last shipment ar- riving March 31. There is no improve- ment in the quality of southern gladioli and there are more of them than the mar- ket needs. Southern daffodils flood the market. The quality is good. Ten cents a bunch buys them and the price is less in quanti- ties. Tulips and narcissi are abundant, the former especially so, but with little de- mand, except for the Darwins. There are lots of callas, some irises, and an excessive guantity of sweet peas, pan- sies and daisies. Various Notes. Mondpy evening, April 9, is sweet pea night at the New York Florists’ Club. Warren Spalding is still at the Poly- clinic hospital, but much improved, with great nope of his recovery. April 7 at the secretary’s office, Long Island City, there will be a meeting of the directors of the New York Cut Flower Exchange. Walter R. Siebrecht is suffering from a severe attack of the grip. E. A. Seidewitz, of Baltimore, was a recent visitor. - Clarence Slinn is much pleased with his néw store. It is rumored a well known and enter- prising florist is about to open a branch stare close to Billy Sunday’s big taber- naele at 168th street. As from 60,000 to 100,000 people will pass the door daily for three months, it looks a safer risk than Wall street, and as good an invest- ment as Bethlehem Steel.

The members of the big peace delega- tion, which left New York for Washing- ton April 1, all wore white tulips, offi- cially announced as ‘‘The Flower of The Hague.’’ A. L. Young & Co. are enlarging. their store, widening their winasw space and making many improvemen‘s. David Thom, for some time book- keeper for R. J. Irwin, has joined his regiment, the Fourth, in the National Guard of New Jersey. S. Suzuki, of the Yokohama Nursery Co., left April 2 for Japan. Geo. Crawbuck, Jr., is making a trip through New York state, New Jersey, Connecticut, Rhode Island and Massa- chusetts. _ The next New York International Flower Show will take place at the Grand Central Palace, March 14 to 21, 1918. ' The Cadjean Flower Shop, on West Twenty-eighth street, is beautifully decorated. This is the most popular re- tail store on the busy wholesale street. Walter Kline is no longer with the com- pany, and John Huber now is head sales- man. Stanton Rockefeller, of Rhinebeck, was a visitor March 31. Mr. Rocke- feller ships his violets to Riedel & Meyer. J. Austin Shaw. The fall exhibition of the Horticul- tural Society of New York will be held November 8 to 11, at the American Museum of Natural History. A sched- ule of classes and premiums is being prepared and will be ready for distribu- tion shortly. NEWARE, N. J. The Market. At this writing the Easter trade is well under way, and judging from pres- ent indications, it will be a good one. There is a great variety of flowers of excellent quality. Easter lilies are ar- riving in large quantities and the sup- ply is expected to be sufficient for the aster business. Carnations, sweet peas, calendulas, roses and other cut flowers are marr | well. There is a big demand for potted plants, including tulips, hya- cinths, rhododendrons, hydrangeas, etc. Pussy willows came in more plentifully last week.

Temperley’s have a new delivery car, tan-colored, with brown trimmings. The E. G. Hill Co. and the Circle Flower Store had attractive and catchy show windows last week. The Hill win- dow was artistically decorated with Darwin tulips, several varieties of irises, yellow daisies, pussy willows and novel- ties. The Circle Flower Store had an unusual arrangement of bright flowers, with a background of flags. Charles Jenkins, of the Charles Hall Co., of Springfield, Mass., called on the trade this week. Almost all of the palms and decora- tive material of the city were in use for Palm Sunday and for numerous spring openings. Baur & Steinkamp will be ready with a large supply of 2-inch geranium stock right after Easter. There seems to be an unusual demand for geraniums this season, probably on account of the drought last year. The outlook for Easter last week was not so promising as it was the week pre- vious. The unusually bright and warm weather caused stock to advance too fast, making it salable now and reduc- ing the supply for Easter. E. E. T. ST. LOUIS. The Market.

Prices commenced to tumble after March 17, especially for carnations, in which good stock was offered all the week as low as $5 and $10 per thousand. Extra fancies held up to $20. Roses, too, glutted the market almost daily and unless exceptionally fine were left unsold. The warm, clear weather brought these out in abunbance. A fine lot of Ophelias, Russells, Killarneys and Sunbursts were seen daily. All bulbous stock suffered with the rest, especially tulips, freesias and jon- quils. Easter lilies were plentiful and cleared up well, but at cheap prices. Callas the same. Valley seems to hold its own at usual prices. Sweet peas were many and of fine quality, but to dispose of the great quantities the price was cut deep. Violets are nearing the end. Still, quite a few came in, but there are only a few for Easter. Should the fine weather keep up, there will be no shortage for Easter and prices should be reasonable. Prospects look bright for the retailers, who say there are plenty of fine blooming plants to be had. These, of course, are the main sellers for Easter and, with good qual- ity cut flowers at reasonable prices, there should be nothing short of a record- breaking business. Various Notes. The St. Louis County Growers’ Asso- ciation met April 4 at the Eleven Mile house. Secretary Joe Deutschmann says the recent spring flower show came up for discussion. Many of the association members captured prizes in the various classes in cut stock, which was quite encouraging to them. It is expected that at the National Flower Show next March the county growers’ exhibits will be large. The Florists’ Club will hold its regu- lar monthly meeting April 12.

At this meet- ing there will be a review of the show and a general talk on the coming Na- tional Flower Show and the meeting of the Society of American Florists, both taking place at the same time, March, 1918. Walter Hoelke, with F. H. Weber, and Martin Lechner, of Lechner Bros., have joined their regiments on the first call. Walter Young, secretary and treasurer of the C. Young & Sons Co., says that as soon as the call comes for Battery A, he is ready. All three saw service in Mex- ico last year. Thomas Carr opened his plant stands at Union Market last week. The fine spring days during the week caused a rush of business. August Hummert, vice-president of the St. Louis Seed Co. , Says never before in the history of the company has there been such a rush of business so early in the seed department. An extra force was put on this week to handle the trade. A. J. Butterfield, of Farmington, Mo., who spent a few days here recently with Mrs. Butterfield, says he expects to build more glass this summer. His carnation crop this season was large and of excel- lent quality. The executive committee of the St. G |Eccert N.

Florist in Rotary Louis Spring Flower Show Association held a meeting with the chairmen of the various committees at Bourdet’s recently and paid all bills and prizes. The winding up of the business connected with the show will take place after the next Florists’ Club meeting. Joseph Witek’s store on McPherson avenue showed a tastefully arranged display of plants for Easter. Mr. Witek contemplates building a large show house adjoining the store this summer. Fred C. Weber’s Olive street store never looked better. Blooming Easter plants in the show house and an artistic window display of cut stock give the place a most attractive appearance. Fred, Jr., says business is good. A large cut of fine Easter lilies is being consigned daily to this market by J. W. Ross, of Centralia, Ill. Grimm & Gorly, the Mullanphy Flower Co. and Fred Foster, downtown florists, report a splendid transient trade all the week. C. Young & Sons Co. is having a big trade in seeds, bulbs and plants, accord- ing to Charles Young, head of the com- pany. This is the company’s fifty-sec- ond year in business. F. H. Weber’s two stores are making a great bid for Easter trade with a fine display of blooming plants. The new conservatory in course of erection at the new store, Olive and Taylor streets, by the American Greenhouse Mfg. Co., Chicago, is nearly completed. Dr. Geo. M. Reed, professor of botany at the University of Missouri, was a re- cent visitor. Dr. Reed was on his way to New York, where he will spend sev- eral months in the Brooklyn Botanical Gardens. Prof. A.

Their pansies have stems of remarkable length and some of the colors are attrac- tive.

HOSP, Leading Florist William T. Walke, of Salem, was showing a splendid lot of specimen Tausendschon roses, also lilies, French hydrangeas and genistas of splendid quality. Interest in the big June exhibition of the Massachusetts Horticultural Society is steadily growing. This show will be laid out most artistically. Seven large marquees will accommodate many of the exhibits. Others, such as rock gardens, aquatics, ornamental evergreens, etc., will be displayed in the open. It is planned to continue the exhibition for two weeks and advertise it heavily, as was done with this year’s most success- ful spring show. Pierce Bros., of Waltham, are having good success with Francis Scott Key and d’Arenberg roses. Killarney Queen, Ophelia and Sunburst are also doing par- ticularly well. No finer giganteum lilies were seen in the Boston market than those of John McFarland, of North Easton. These carried from six to nine flowers and buds per stalk. Kameyama & Serada, of North Cam- bridge, are marketing fine Pink Pearl rhododendrons, Tausendschon roses, lil- ies and pans of bulbous flowers.

Best Service for Centras Ulinois The Sutermeister Estate, of Readville, which had an immense stock of bulbs in pans, reported that they have sold out their entire stock for Easter. March this year came in Jike a lamb and made its exit in the same way. It proved to be a month of moderate tem- peratures, with few biting winds, no severe frosts and an average amount of precipitation. The season now is open- ing up here with crocuses, snowdrops, seillas, drabas, Christmas roses and a few other spring subjects in bloom. The high cost of living has caused a tremendously increased interest this spring in the planting of home and school gardens by children, the use of hitherto untilled back yards and vacant lots and the development of the allotment system of gardens for workmen, a plan long popular in Europe. Seedsmen report an unprecedented demand for seeds for these types of gardens. The Fottler, Fiske, Rawson Co. is busy on seed orders and night and day work is necessary to keep abreast of or- ders. They had a fine display of Easter plants, such as lilies, Dutch bulbs, roses, hydrangeas and spireas. W.N. C. SMYTH Michigan Avenue at 3ist Street 745 Buckingham Place L. D.

Kendel, Cleveland, O. a eg annual convention, Detroit, June 19 AMERICAN pansy seed should be a profitable crop this season. GARDENING in America, and the demand for garden seeds, never had such a boost as has been given it this season by the high cost of foods. In the seed trade, as well as from re- ports in the canning industry, it is appar- ent the farmers are planting a larger acreage than usual of the crops for packing. Marcu, 1917, has gone on record as the heaviest month ever known in the seed trade. The volume of business offered has taxed the capacity of even the most capably managed houses. PETER HENDERSON & Co., New York, announce the death, March 26, of Arthur M. Kirby, for-many years in charge of the flower seed, bulb and implement de- partments and compiler of the catalogue. THE many friends of W. C. Langbridge, who has been in a New York hospital for several weeks, will learn with regret that his illness has taken a serious turn and that there are slight hopes for his recovery. In the New York Times of March 25 Peter Henderson & Co. are quoted in an interview as stating: ‘‘There is an ex- traordinary demand for seeds of all kinds,’’ but that, ‘‘with few exceptions the supply will not fail to meet it.’’ THE onion set market is steadily ad- vancing, according to A. H. Smith, of the Leonard Seed Co., Chicago, and "only a limited quantity is ’still obtainable at even the higher prices. The company has been shipping more than 1,000 bushels of onion sets by express each "week. THe Supreme court of Tennessee has handed down an opinion holding that the Tennessee pure seed law is constitutional. The case was carried to the high tribunal by the commissioner of agriculture, after seedsmen objected to the salient — of the act and ignored the law. THERE seems little prospect that either France or England will admit Dutch or Japanese bulbs this season, as both coun- tries steadily tighten their ‘import restric- tions. Edicts recently have been promul- gated forbidding all importations, even of the greatest necessities, except by special permit, and it does not seem likely such a permit will be easily obtained for bulbs. A LARGE number of horticultural firms in England have been hit by an order of the Board of Trade prohibiting the send- ing of catalogues and price lists to others than those who write for them. Books and circulars on hand are thus converted largely into waste paper. If the order is not rescinded before another season it PARSNIP, SAN JOSE, CALIFORNIA ONION SETS LEON 226-230 Ww.

A novel method of displaying seeds, both flower and vegetable, is being used by W. C. Kennedy, St. Joseph, Mo. Mr. Kennedy has covered the counters in his seed department with heavy com- position board, over which is placed green glazed paper. This paper is ruled so that the spaces are slightly larger than the size of lithographed seed packets. Empty envelopes are glued on the squares and over the whole is placed heavy plate glass. This makes an effective as well as at- tractive display, it being always before rs UULINSQESOOLMASEIUALLSSULUQEGSRSLAOOLAGUOLISACSSLALOGONGSOLAAUAQO00L00404000800H49400 N4ESS08040400800040400S0,00400090040090044008000L04N0S00NE0ES00000E0000000000008E0000050900¢00RO0EEEbOOLNERCOOUULALOMATEUUUUCYOSSLUOONELOOOOEOODADNS Order Seed Packets NOW | FOR 1918 | : : Paper scarce.

Only half of these amounts will be sold on credit to landowners or renters of good reputation, farming not more than 200 hectares, or 254 acres, of land. Yearly sales will also be made of assortments’ of various seeds of a total value of not more than 100 pesos, or $103.40. Pay- ments for seed must be made in money at harvest time, this date being under- stood as March 31 for wheat and other winter crops, and June 30 for corn and other spring crops. The seed commission advises farmers to insure their crops against hail in the government insur- ance bank. IMPORTS BARRED BY BRITAIN. Numerous changes in the import pro- hibitions of the United Kingdom since the European war begarf have caused considerable confusion in the trade. The British government as recently as Feb- ruary 23, 1917, added to the list of ar- ticles which may not be imported. The list shows those under the ban to in- clude: Bulbs, flower roots, plants, trees, shrubs and fresh flowers. MOTT-LY GLEANINGS. J. J. Wilson Seed Co., Newark, N.

At this writing all indications are for a good Haster business, with plenty of good stock, except Easter lilies and aza- leas, for the day. Though at present there are plenty of Easter lilies, the ma- jority of the florists seem to think that they will either not be out in time or else be too far gone to be of any use. The market is flooded with bulbous stock at the present time, especially of hyacinths. Rhododendrons are plentiful and mostly of the larger sizes. Carna- tions are being held by most of the flo- rists, so they are hard to procure in any quantity, but there probably will be enough for the last of the week. Roses are plentiful and good, as are violets. Swéet peas will not be so plentiful as in the last few weeks. The hardest thing of all to procure is good greens. Various Notes. Eli Cross has secured a large store for extra display and selling space. Henry Smith expected to operate a branch store for the Easter rush. He has some fine lilies and bulbous stock. The Wealthy Avenue Floral Co, had a splendid stock of Easter plants. A Mr. Hartle, of Detroit, opened a store for the week here. Lewis Kunst had a batch of the new pelargonium, LEaster Greeting, for Easter. A. F.C. ROCHESTER, N. Y. The Market. Business was particularly slack during the first of last week, but it showed con- siderably more life toward the week end. Most of the stores offered specials to clear out the stock, which somewhat overcrowded the market. The few warm days brought stock along fast and the market was glutted, but it has cooled down some later and the growers hoped that it would remain so for a few days more. The outlook was particularly promising for the Easter trade. The plant growers said they had all that the trade would demand, and the cut flower men were well satisfied with what they would be cutting. Everything in the market at present is plentiful, except Beauties and asparagus. Some aspara- gus is procured locally, but that which reaches us from the south is not good and falls immediately. The supply of roses at this writing is good in nearly all grades. Fine Hoosier Beauties, Montrose, Ophelia, Ward and the Killarneys sell nicely. Prices dur- ing the greater part of the Lenten sea- son have been lower than usual, but higher prices are asked now. The mar- ket has been well supplied with sweet peas, principally the pink orchid-flower- ing. They have large blooms and long stems. Mignonette has sold well this week. The supply of potted and cut Easter lilies is extremely large. The market is well stocked with all kinds of bulbous flowers. Freesias, calendulas, myosotis and pansies have sold nicely. The stores are well supplied with bloom- ing plants. The supply of carnations is large. Various Notes. Visitors this week included E. F. Ken- non, of the Climax Mfg. Co., of Castor- land, N. Y.; J. Ramsfelder, of the Knickerbocker Ribbon Co., New York.

George Rauschy, one of the local growers, Is spending a few days at Utica, visiting a number of friends there. He reported everything in the best of con- dition and was well pleased with the prospects for Easter. He expected to call on a number of growers in and around Utica. H. E.

George Cramer has been at Buffalo on a short visit. Charles Suhr is growing some fine aza- leas this season, and they clear easily. His bulbous stock is of splendid quality and is disposed of readily. _ Extensive alterations have been go- ing on at the Rochester Floral Co, store. The improvements will greatly help dur- ing the rush. A balcony with a counter has been built in the shipping room. 62 Glass cases, which have been built against the wall, will accommodate a large quantity of stock. A private office has been built at the east side of the refrigerator. Charles W. Curtis, of Irondequoit, had a splendid quantity of stock for the Easter trade. One whole house was well filled with pink Spencer peas, which were thick with blooms; some are nine feet in height. His new house is filled with Easter Greetings and spring bed- ding stock. The bulbous stock also is in good condition. H. J.

I have tried to keep them both dry and wet, but they seem to rot off at the top. My aster plants in the same house are in fine condition. G. W. B—N. Y. I am afraid you are growing them too cool. Give them a temperature of 60 de- grees at night and a close, moist at- mosphere. You can gradually harden them when they are aaa . W. TOMATOES UNDER GLASS. What day and night temperature is required for forcing tomatoes? What varieties are best and when should the seed be sown to have a crop about December 1? W. CO. M. & S.—Pa. Tomatoes require a dry atmosphere and a minimum temperature of 60 de- grees during winter. It will not harm the plants if the temperature should go a few degrees lower on cold nights. The mini- mum can be advanced 2 or 3 degrees toward spring and the temperatures can run from 65 to 68 degrees on cloudy days and a little higher on sunny days during the winter. A limited root run gives the best crop through the winter, but later more space is beneficial. Arti- ficial pollination of flowers is necessary from November 15 to March 15 to as- sure a good set. The plants should never be syringed and in winter the best suc- cess is had when the soil is allowed to run a little on the dry side. For plants to come into bearing about December 1, make a sowing from July 10 to 15. Plants are best trained to a single stem and all side shoots may be removed. They can be planted out twenty to twenty-four inches apart in the rows. Raised benches are best in midwinter, but for planting out after March 15 solid beds are preferable. Good forcing varieties are Comet, Stir- ling Castle and Lister’s Prolific. These carry medium-sized fruit, are smooth and are preferred by the dealers in win- ter to larger varieties which set more irregularly. After the plants have set five or six bunches the tops of the stems can be pinched out. CG. W. Cicero, I.—Mrs. Mary Kolar, wife of J. J. Kolar, has departed for a Milwau- kee sanitarium, where she will undergo treatment for rheumatism. ‘Tee Florists’ Review APRIL 5, 1917.

The annual spring show of the Pasa- dena Horticultural Society was held at the Green hotel March 29 to 31. The show was not so large as usual, but the quality of the exhibits was fine and the show was splendidly arranged, so that spectators could walk around in comfort and see everything. One of the most interesting exhibits from a trade standpoint was the table of new colored freesias from R. Fischer, of San Gabriel. Almost every shade of color is now included in Mr. Fischer’s seedlings and these, being kept sepa- rate, make a beautiful display. The flowers are large, the stems long and vigorous and, altogether, it was a most interesting showing. H. Siebrecht, Jr., of the House of Flowers, had a "table of good roses and other stock, and a most interesting table of orchids, on which were noted fine brasso-cattleyas, cattleyas, Odonto- glossum luteo-purpureum and O. crispum, many choice dendrobiums, cypripediums and others. John Teekamp had good tulips and some extra fine novelties in daffodils. In the private gardeners’ classes there was also splendid bulbous stock. Theodore Payne, of Los Angeles, had one of those inimitable groups of native trees and flowers, for which he is justly famous. A look through these carefully labeled collections is an education, and, besides these, he had a nice line of bulb- ous and other flowering stock. Campbell’s Seed Store showed a col- lection of vegetables, properly labeled with their botanical names. If they do this in the market, these long names will add still another injustice to house- holders along the line of the high cost of living. The exhibit of the Mentor nursery consisted of fine specimen tree peonies. A. E. Hansen, of Los Angeles, had a bright and prettily arranged group of nursery stock. R. McKenzie, gardener at the Craven place, had an interesting display of orchids, a fine plant of Epidendrum O’Brienianum sur- mounting a number of fine Schroedere cattleyas, and also what looked to be a natural hybrid between this and either C. Mossie or one of the labiata types. The show was a fine one and a great credit to all concerned. H. R. Richards. Qa BQA.GA LOS ANGELES. The Market. The supply of stock in many lines has shortened considerably, especially that of good corsage flowers. , Cecile Brunner roses have hardly attained their stride for the season, violets are practically over with, while valley and orchids are on the short side. Indoor-grown roses are about as plentiful as anything, but the shortage in other lines has helped to maintain prices. Carnations are more plentiful, both the indoor-grown and field-grown, the warmer weather helping the latter. Indications are that there will be no shortage of either kind at Easter, though a few cold days, or even dull days, would again reduce the sup- SASF SESASASASGARSASASASASAEPESD SASASRSEALSOESD, **We find The Review a first-class advertising medium and can assure you that we will put in another ad- vertisement as soon as we have stock to offer. ‘Hickey & Hollis. ‘Petaluma, California, March 13, 1917.” ply. Lilies are coming along in good shape and should be equal to the de- mand, according to present appearances. Spring flowers are much more plentiful and the bulbous stock outdoors is ad- vancing rapidly. Azaleas are likely to be short in sup- ply. The few spireas grown locally ‘were all sold long beforehand, while of other plants there is little outside of ferns, palms and coleus. Cut lilac is following the fruit and shrub blossoms and is a good seller. Potted wistarias make a good showing in the windows, but they are not the most salable plants by any means. Cut callas are fairly plentiful, but many of these are cut from outdoors and are rough and more or less bruised when shipped. Those cut in good order and clean, meet with a ready demand. Greens continue scarce, especially good plumosus and Sprengeri. Huckleberry is the most plentiful, but even this keeps up well in price. Various Notes. Frank Lichtenberg has put a fine new delivery car on the road. Notwith- standing the increased staff, everyone is kept busy at his place. While the cut of white freesias is al- most over with, R. Fischer, at Santa Anita, has been cutting some wonderful ANANAN ANA NANA NAA AA IFIC COAST DEPARTMENT. MN NN on en EOL PU Oe flowers of his new colored varieties. In order to get fine bulbs, not many are allowed to flower, but the flowers that are produced are magnificent. The stems are eighteen inches and over in length and the lavender and yellow are exquisitely clear and well defined in color. The new white, too, which is larger than Purity and of the purest white, is a gem of the first water. Walter Armacost & Co. promised a fine cut of valley for Easter and a good line of potted hydrangeas of the French varieties. This firm has a splendid cut of roses. Arthur Gleave, of Gleave’s Flower Shop, at Santa Barbara, has been in town on a business trip. Wright’s Flower Shop has been show- ing a nice line of cut flower baskets, spring flowers and daffodils being effec- tively arranged. Morris & Snow are temporarily lo- cated ina store in the next block, where their customers are evidently following them, for the new store seems to be nearly as busy as the one at the old location, where they hope to be back in a few days. O. M. Morris, who was sick at the time of the fire, is so far recovered as to be at the store part of the time. The Germain Seed & Plant Co. is con- tinuing its series of attractive window displays, which form one of this con- cern’s most telling advertisements. The high cost of living was the theme of one, in which it was plainly shown what vegetables could be grown from 5-cent packages of seed. It proved an excel- lent drawing card. The nursery win- dows, filled with flowering stock and aa are also attractive. C.

Smith is showing some excel- lent ranunculus flowers and anemones at the store on West Seventh and Figueroa streets, the produce of the new growing grounds at Sherman. At the S. Murata & Co. store large consignments of cut flowers and sup- plies are leaving daily. The demand for fertilizers is heavy. Following the lead of 8. Murata, Walter Hattori came up smiling the other day and announced the arrival of a baby girl at the Hattori home. J. Dieterich is making improvements and changes at the Wall street nursery. He says that since the oil wells have started in Montebello he hopes to get enough hot air to run the greenhouses there, without any steam. The fortune he will make has been variously esti- mated by the man on the street as any- thing from $100 to $1,000 per day. Other cut flower growers and nurserymen located in that favored burg will at least be millionaires. H. W. Turner is still buying oil to heat his greenhouses and is raising mag- nificent Prima Donna and September Morn roses. The demand for this class of stock keeps up well. F. R. Hills, of Hills’ Nursery, reports that March has been the best month he ever had since going into business, hav- ing already run ahead of any previous Christmas or Easter, though all his Easter business has not been included. This shows what efficient service and the right quality of goods will do. Howard & Smith report big business all along the line, especially in the nurs- ery end.

Last week preparations for Easter were the principal occupation of the local trade. Florists seemed in excellent spirits over the outlook for a banner business. The stock situation left noth- ing to be desired. The indications were that the market would be well supplied with cut flowers, and the growers pro- ducing flowering plants reported all sea- sonables in prime condition. Callas seemed to be the weakest point, but no apprehension was felt on this score, as there seemed to be an abundance of other lilies to take their place. Calla lilies were slow this season on account of the severe winter, and the offerings were extremely light. Roses show excellent quality and the demand is seasonably good. Russell continues in popular favor, a heavy cut of thig variety finding an outlet with- out much difficulty. Hadley and Ophelia also move briskly. Carnations drag somewhat.

Outdoor sweet peas are slow, but the need of them is not felt to any great extent, in view of the Lenten season and ample supplies of other stock. Daffodils are going off crop rapidly, as well as the other spring bulbous stock that came in about the same time. The light supplies are reflected by higher prices. Violets are not expected to last much longer. Spanish irises are begin- ning to arrive and are well taken. Darwin tulips are offered freely, but no oversupply has been noted as yet. Or- chids are arriving more easily. There were plenty to meet the requirements last week. Valley is abundant. Forget- me-nots clean up from day to day. [Continued on page 88. ] The Florists’ Review APRIL 5, 1917. TACOMA, WASH. The Market. Business was not particularly brisk last week, probably on account of the unfavorable weather conditions and the observance of Lent. There was a scat- tered amount of funeral work, but no large orders. Potted plants, such as cyclamens, primulas, Easter lilies’ and bulbous stock, are plentiful and clean- ing up nicely. Some fine primulas are shown this season and are readily sold. Ferns are scarce, with the demand firm. Local growars say that azaleas are prac- tically off the market. The few scrawny ones shipped in go begging. Outdoor daffodils are coming in now and are re- lieving a rather stiff cut bulbous stock market. Sweet peas are arriving satis- factorily and are a welcome change for corsages, violets now taking second place for this purpose. Locally grown roses are showing up in larger quantities and of better quality. The retailers are beginning to cut down their California orders. Cut Easter lilies are plentiful, with a good demand. There is a lively call for sweet pea seed, the Spencer type leading. The scarcity of greens is tax- ing the ingenuity of the designer; it is noticeably scarce in box orders. Native greens, such as grape, huckleberry, ferns and pussy willows, are being used to partially substitute asparagus in box orders of daffodils and other bulbous stock. Prices for standard stock are practi- cally the same this year as they were last, notwithstanding the fact that all extras, or ‘‘give-aways,’’ such as wax paper, foil, boxes, etc., have increased in price to a great extent. Retailers are ‘‘playing close’’ on crepe paper, cover- ing only choice pots of plants and charg- ing extra for the cheap ones. Various Notes. Louis Tschunko keeps his car busy these days delivering his heavy cut of fine carnations to the local retailers. Van Slyke & Seamons are cutting some fine sweet peas of the orchid- flowering type and are prepared to fur- nish the finest and largest lot of Easter lilies they have ever grown. The blooms are coming in just right for the Easter trade. James Simpson, of the Acme Floral Co., has a fine lot of roses from which he is making heavy cuttings, with the demand for them good. Miss Marie Watson, in charge of the branch store of the Hayden-Watson Co., at Olympia, reports that business is good at the Capital City. Frank F. Hickcox, president of the Tacoma Rose Society, has gone to Den- ver for his health. August Kloepper, formerly with Wat- son the Florist, and more recently with the Hollywood. establishment, at Seat- tle, has accepted a position with the Spokane Florist Co. R. D. Van Slyke, of Van Slyke & Seamons, has ‘‘disappeared’’ on a two weeks’ vacation. The leading florists of Tacoma have shown their patriotism by putting in Red Cross windows. The stock in the windows was donated and the proceeds derived therefrom went to the Red Cross association. The Hayden-Watson Co. had a fine window of plants, colonial bouquets and cut flowers.

Sales:were’strietly cash and deliv- eries were made by society women, who used their cars for this purpose. Not- withstanding the poor weather condi- tions, society turned out en masse and the benefit was declared a decided suc- cess. Next week Joseph Gallarducci, of the California Florist, will give a benefit window. ‘‘Peaceful Joe’’ al- ways does his share, so we may look for- ward to something clever at the store on the avenue. The Smith Floral Co. undoubtedly will surpass itself in this charity stunt. B. G. SPOKANE, WASH. The Market. The approach of Easter brought anx- iety to not a few of the florists. The reason was that stock apparently would be extremely scarce in many of the lead- ing lines. Of cut flowers it was believed that there would be plenty, with the ex- ception of lilies. Potted lilies are scarce, extremely so, while hydrangeas, too, are limited in quantity. Of azaleas, only those held over from previous years are to be had. There are a good number of rambler roses in the market; also lilacs, rhododendrons and wistarias, but not enough to make up for the shortage in the other and more staple items. Various Notes. Bernson & Halle are cutting an un- usual crop of carnations, of a quality equal to the best. Easter was expected to find their sweet peas in full crop. John Austin reported that the Spokane Greenhouse Co. houses at Marshall were filled with a fine Easter stock of lilacs, wistarias, ramblers and rhododendrons. From the way orders were coming in, he exported to be sold out before the big ay. H. L. Olsson was marketing some splendid Baby Rambler roses, which were in prime Easter condition. He had a fine lily crop, but sold out about three weeks ago. Silver Pink snapdragons of high quality are finding an appreciative market. The funeral of Mrs. Elizabeth Hill, who died after an operation at a local hos- pital, was held Saturday, March 31. Dur- ing the last year her husband has been in the employ of A. J. Burt, but at pres- ent he is associated with Donart & Sta- pleton. The couple had been married about three years and had resided in Spokane about a year, coming from Vancouver, B. C. Besides her husband, the deceased is survived by a baby girl, aged but a few days. L. B. H. PORTLAND, ORE. The Market. Unfavorable weather conditions pre- vailed last week, but business showed considerable improvement over that of the two previous weeks. Excepting one large funeral, there were no events call- ing for quantities of flowers. Funeral work had a brisker call and counter trade improved. In potted plants a few bulbous kinds were still shown, together with cinerarias, azaleas, primroses, spireas, hydrangeas, roses, Easter lilies, genistas and late cyclamens.

Reports having reached this country to the effect that the spring shipments of gladiolus bulbs and nursery stock out of Holland, including those originally on the Nieuw Amsterdam, had been loaded in the Westerdyk and Maartensdyk, an interested party asked the Holland- America line office in New York March 30 as to the location of those boats.

It was one of the features of the New York Show, where it was awarded a Silver Medal as a new and meritorious variety.

The Florists’ Review PITTSBURGH. The Market. Trade during March was excellent. Lent did not seem to affect it much. Re- ports from most of the retailers indicate that the month’s trade exceeded that of March of last year. Business still is active and there are prospects of plenty of stock of all kinds for Easter. Roses are fine and abundant. Hyacinths ana tulips will not be plentiful, but they are not usually in great demand among the better class of customers. : The weather has not been bright. Though there have been one or ‘two warm days, there has been no sunshine. It is predicted that good azaleas will be scarce at Easter, but they have lost favor somewhat in the last year or two; so the lack of them will not make much difference. Lilies, which were scarce most of the winter, will be plentiful and will not realize as good prices as they have been bringing recently. The plant business is attracting some new people. Several vacant stores have been rented and are filled with plants of many kinds, and all seem to be doing good business. One large furniture store is advertising azaleas at 69 cents each. Various Notes. The park conservatories have made greater. preparations than ever before for their Easter shows and the displays are so elaborate that our spring dower show will have to be exceedingly fine, or will suffer by comparison and the visi- tors will be disappointed. Clarke. EVANSVILLE, IND. The Market. Everybody is prepared for the Easter rush. There is a good supply of roses, carnations, etc., in cut flowers and in plants there are lilies, Easter Greetings and bulbous stock in plenty, unless the weather should be unduly warm, as it has been for a few days. In that case bulbous stock will about be gone. Various Notes. One night recently the Evansville flo- rists came near being unfortunate enough to suffer a loss along with the other Indiana florists. In this case it was hail that threatened, but the pieces of ice did not get quite big enough to break the glass in the greenhouses. Visitors the last week were Mr. Fordyce, of the Mount Carmel Floral Co., Mount Carmel, Ill., and Christ Voger, of Washington, Ind. Mrs. Fred Chapman is visiting her daughter at Madison, Wis. E. L. F.

Mamareneck,N.Y enn The Florists’ Review APRIL 5, 1917. FORT WAYNE, IND. The Market. Business was unusually quiet last week, considering the season of the year, and had it not been for an ocea- sional funeral order flowers would have gone begging. However, florists gener- ally expect a lull in the market just be- fore the storm of holiday trade and took advantage of this opportunity to pre- pare for Easter. Flowers in general will be plentiful, with the exception of roses and cut Easter lilies. In the plant line azaleas will not be abundant, Easter lilies will be in limited supply and there will be few lilacs on the market in comparison with other years. Bulbous stock will be moderately plentiful, but, according to local growers, there will be no variety in oversupply. By common consent of both the retail and wholesale florists in the Florists’ Club, prices on Easter stock will be higher than those of last Easter. Easter lilies will retail for 30 cents per bloom. All bulbous stock will be higher than formerly, the reason for this being the increased cost of everything which the florist uses to do business with, in- eluding coal. Landscape work is coming in splen- didly, on account of the indications of an early spring. Various Notes. A. W. Herre, representing the Poehl- mann Bros, Co., of Chicago, was a vis- itor last week on his way home. The season’s business has been excellent in his territory. F. J. Knecht & Co. have had a brisk demand for Easter flowers in the whole- sale line. Their entire cut of roses was sold several weeks before the holiday. This concern specializes in Russell roses and has met with splendid success. The New Haven Floral Co. enjoys a good local retail trade at New Haven, Ind., which is situated on the interurban and steam lines, six miles from Fort Wayne. It has also a well developed wholesale trade. Herman Leitz, August Freese and Henry Freese are the mem- bers of the company. A. J. Lanternier has had a good de- mand for funeral work lately and also a brisk demand for Palm Sunday. _ Edgar Wenninghoff is driving a new 5-passenger car. Harry Doswell is drawing plans to landscape Harrison hill, an exclusive real estate addition. He will begin to lay out the ground and plant as soon as the weather is settled. The Fort Wayne Flower Shop had a sale on roses for 49 cents per dozen March 3]. W. J. & M. 8. Vesey had some fine orchids for Easter. The Flick Floral Co. made large prep- arations with novelties and baskets for the Easter trade. R. F.

These pots proved a grand innovation, wherein I have been able to replace and rotate all kinds of plants during the entire year. After young plants, either from seed sown in the Pots or picked from flats, were fairly well established I plunged the pots where I wanted the plants to remain, and they went on as if to the manor born. The loss was simply unobservable. This covered Canterbury Bells, Asters, Linarias, Gaillardias, etc. The Pots, being square, took up less room in the flats, being light are easily transported to the garden, the paper rotting gradually in the ground the roots are never retarded or disturbed.

Yes. OUR DIRT BANDS ARB CREASED, CUT AND SCORED BY MACHINE TO THE EXACT SHAPB and the ENDS HELD TOGETHER. NOT “LOCKED” 2—Should_ the ends of Dirt Bands be “LOCKED’’? NO. Because ‘‘locking’’ does not serve any purpose and is a serious detriment. If the ends are ‘‘LOCKED”’ the band has to be TORN OFF when the plant is taken out. After the bands are filled and watered the soil settles tight against the insides and they cannot be unlocked. TEARING the ends of the bands apart will break many of the ‘‘balls’’ or cubes of soil. 1 Get . “‘locked’’ band, lock it and try tearing apart.

HAS A DIRECT-FLUE BOILER, I am using a fire-box direct-flue boiler and do not believe I am getting the full benefit of the coal I burn. Do you think it would pay me to brick in the boiler in such a way as to carry the heat back and forth after the fashion of a return-flue boiler? The boiler is 5x12% feet and contains forty-eight 2%-inch flues. The grate is 40x52. What should be the size of the smoke flue from the boiler to the chimney? How many square feet of glass can a boiler of this size heat to a temperature of 50 degrees, using low-pressure steam? W. W. T.—O. While we prefer to use a return-flue tubular boiler, especially when heavy firing is necessary, we doubt whether the proposed change in the fire-box boiler would have much of an effect upon the coal consumption. With a chimney thirty-five feet’ in height, we would give it an inside diameter of fourteen inches and would have the smoke flue of the same size. In case the boiler flues are twelve feet six inches in length, we would consider that the boiler should heat 16,000 square feet of glass to 50 degrees in zero weather. IS STEAM HEAT WANTED?

The method of heating the house is not stated, but from the sizes of pipes specified it is inferred that steam heat is to be used.

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.

While 144-inch pipes might be used for the hot water returns, we prefer to use 2- inch pipes in houses more than seventy- five feet long. A SMALL 2-ROOM GREENHOUSE. Having noticed that you invite ques- tions on anything pertaining to green- houses, I am herewith enclosing a plan of the new ‘‘baby’’ house which I am about to erect.

K.—O. _—— The sketch shows two rooms, each 10x 20, running north and south and covered by an even-span roof running east and west. The side walls consist of two feet of brick, with four feet of glass above the brick. There are doors in the middle of the north end of each room, and the steam main enters the east end of the house under the ground, from the residence, forty feet away. We judge that, after entering the house, the main is to be carried overhead, about three feet below the ridge, to the west side of the west house. The tem- peratures wanted are 70 degrees in the east room and 50 degrees in the west room, in zero weather. We would have no particular choice as to whether the steam main be carried overhead or just below the surface, but would take off a 114-inch supply pipe FOR G Mention The Review when you write.

This may be dropped down and carried on the plate to the north wall. For the coil on the west wall of the east house use four 14-inch pipes and, after running them to the southwest corner of the house, carry them across the south end of this house and then on the east wall of this, the east house, to the northeast corner. Also use the same supply pipe to feed a coil of three 1%-inch pipes on the west side of the dividing wall between the houses. This, of course, is the east wall of the west house. From the end of the steam main at the middle of the west side of the west room extend a 14-inch pipe to the northwest corner of the room and with it feed a coil of four 14-inch pipes to run on the west and south walls to the southeast corner of the west house.

There connect these pipes, as well as the four pipes which have come around from’ the west wall of this, house, with a 134-inch return pipe leading to the boiler. In case the overhead main has been run to the west side of the west room, it perhaps would be easier to extend a 14%4-inch supply pipe from the end of the steam main at the northwest corner of the west house, on the north wall, and use this to supply the coils on either side of the dividing wall between the two rooms. This will furnish four pipes on the west and south walls, and three on the east wall of the west house. In the other house there will be four pipes on the west wall and six on the south and east walls. All of the coils will start at the north end of the two rooms and end in the northeast cor- ner of the east room, where they should be connected with the 14-inch main re- turn leading to the boiler. The size of the main flow pipe is not stated, but it need not be larger than 14-inch. COLUMBUS, 0. The Market. Trade has been heavy, with plenty of stock coming in. Carnations are moving nicely and the quality is good. Roses are more plentiful and Ophelia is much in evidence. Killarney and White Kil- larney are fine at this time and there is a nice supply of these and other roses for Easter. Lilies are in fine shape and there is no shortage of them. Valley is scarce and high. Bulbous stock is in its prime and it looks as though there is enough to go the rounds. Murillo tulips are among the best sellers in the market and there seems to be a good supply of them. Quite a few Darwins also are in market. Daffodils and jonquils are in abundance and sell well at all times. Violets have been a little scarce lately or else the de- mand is much heavier, as they seem to be low nearly all the time. There is quite a lot of potted plants lined up for Easter, but there is a short- age of azaleas, which will be missed. Hydrangeas seem to be taking their place this season and there is a nice lot of them. Spirzas are also a little shy, but there are quite a few good ones to be had. Obconicas are about done and the trade will have to depend largely on bulbous stock for blooming plants. Various Notes, ‘ The Fifth Avenue Floral Co. reports business good at the new location.

Pe icano ha Pactlt oft fil interest of his partner, Mr. Ginocchio, in the Frank D. Pelicano dahlia farm, at 119 Guttenberg street. Angelo J. Rossi, of Pelicano, Rossi & Co., for the last two weeks or more has been giving considerable time to the work of the playground commission, of which he is a member. It is understood that C. W. Ward con- templates shipping tulips to the San Francisco market from. his place at Eureka, Cal. J. Onishi, of the United Flower & Sup- ply Co., has just returned from Los Angeles. He made the trip down through the San Joaquin valley and came back over the Coast road. He re- ported that florists all along the line were looking forward to a good Easter business. The Japanese chrysanthemum grow- ers down the peninsula are preparing to plant, but a shortage of plants is re- ported as the result of the severe frosts. However, it is expected the acreage will be about the same as that of last year. Domoto Bros. were jubilant over the condition of their stock of flowering plants for Easter. Mr. Domoto said the lilies, azaleas, spireas, rhododendrons and roses were the best they ever had to offer. They also had a lot of French hydrangeas that left nothing to be de- sired in quality. A visit to their nursery revealed a splendid showing of ferns in all sizes, from 6-inch to 12-inch pots. For these Mr. Domoto reported a big demand. As a matter of fact, this firm enjoyed a splendid demand for pot plants all season, and for this reason anticipated a bigger sale for Easter than ever before. The Art Floral Co., according to P. V. Matraia, assembled a larger stock for Easter than in previous years and other- wise made preparations for a record- breaking business. D. Traversero, manager of the Hyde store at Watsonville, Cal., called on friends in the trade when in San Fran- cisco recently. He was formerly with Pelicano, Rossi & Co. for several years. Harry Hansen, with MacRorie & Mc- Laren, was called away March 19, his brother having been killed in an auto- mobile accident in Utah the night be- fore. He was not expected back for several days. MacRorie & McLaren re- ported a number of large decorations for Easter and consider prospects excellent for a good business all around. They were showing some fine specimens of Azalea mollis at their store on Powell street. T. C. Holmes, manager of the C. C. Morse & Co. retail store on Market street, says they have been rushed with dahlia orders since issuing their new cat- alogue. Business generally is excellent, he says, as people this spring are plant- ing both flowers and vegetables on a more extensive scale than ever before. The California Seed Co. reports an unusually strong demand for vegetable seeds this season and attributes the in- crease largely to the high-cost-of-living agitation. The E. W. McLellan Co. expected a fine cut of roses for Easter and Manager J. A. Axell did not anticipate any diffi- culty in cleaning up the heavy supplies, as he already had Tocked large orders. N. F. Baldocchi, of Podesta & Baldocchi, said there was plenty of fine PLANT TU, EVERLASTING VIRGINIA WHITE ERYBODY agrees that Plant Tubs made of everlasting Virginia White Cedar will best resist rot or decay. The ‘‘Keystone”’ brand of White Cedar Plant Tubs are made of this cele- brated wood, and these goods are painted inside and out with best oil paints, a rich green. They are bound with heavy steel hoops for the large size, and electric-welded wire hoops (galvanized.

RAMSBURG CLIMAX Automatic Quick-Acting Dirt Bands Our Dirt Bands are made from a special heavy board stock and are much superior to the flimsy, thin paper band or pot.

Our Manila Board Pots and Bands are perfection in style, strength, and quality. They are quickly set up and, being heavy, are easily filled and as easy to remove when plants are grown. They peel off as readily as a banana skin. You will appreciate this advantage when you have tried to remove a plant from a thin paper band or from a nailed-together pot. Thin paper sticks to the roots and practically be- comes a part of the plant, while our MANILA BOARD peels off as a pot should—no trouble; no cuss words. Scores of repeat orders prove all of the above points, plus better plants. Throughout the country there are millions of plants growing in our Manila Board bands and pots. On our own premises we have thousands.of bands in use filled with carnations, geraniums, cannas, and various bedding plants. You can find nothing better than the Ramsburg Locking Pot, made of Manila Board. We can make immediate shipments of all sizes. State whether wanted by express or freight. Send postal for samples and prices. Our bands and pots are favorites with experiment stations. Last week we made shipments to four of them. The Michigan station at Ann Arbor has had three large shipments. Get your samples and join with the successful growers. SOMERSWORTH, N. H. Mention The Review when write. The Skinner System For You ON’T sit back and say to yourself, ‘This Skinner System may be all right for the other fellow, but I have no use for it.’ Don’t say it, because it isn't true. You have a use for it. Any grower has. Over your cold frames cr your seedling fields, in your greenhouse—everywhere— inside or outside, it will save money for you, because it saves labor and water. It will make money by producing better plants. It will insure you money, by making you absolutely independent of the weather man. It waters uniformly, with a finely broken up spray that reaches every part of every plant, without injuring the finest foliage. It will not pack or puddle the soil. Sit right down now and decide that you’re not going to cheat yourself out of bigger, better profits another year. Then before you get up, write for our Bulletin of Information.

The downtown florists were on the jump last week making their final can- vass for stock for Easter, and the pres- ent indications are that the supply will be practically normal, with the scale of prices about the same as have ruled at the last couple of Easters. This will be the case on everything but lilies, and here there will be a shortage. Quota- tions last week indicated that 12% cents and upwards would be the ruling price per bud and bloom of lilies, but it is be- lieved that the department and grocery stores will be able to break the price. Of bulbous stock, both cut and potted, there appears to be a great supply, and for the last ten days outside stores have displayed these lines at prices somewhat under those of the regular florists. Roses and carnations are in good sup- ply and of good quality. Snapdragons were never better; mignonette is plen- tiful; violets are rather scarce; bache- lor’s buttons have made their initial appearance; orchids and _ gardenias please the more esthetic buyers. Various Notes. The office of the Frank G, Smith For- estry Co., in the Hoxie building, at Phenix, was broken into March 30. Nothing was missing—it was evident the intruders were looking for money. William E. Chappell, secretary of the Florists’ and Gardeners’ Club of Rhode Island, who has been at the Capital hill hospital for about a fortnight, is re- ported to be slightly improved. William H. Tarbox this season is pre- paring to plant an increased acreage to asters and dahlias at his place in West Greenwich. Alexander H. Johnson, of George Johnson & Son, who is a major in the Rhode Island National Guard, has been designated to command four Rhode Island companies of coast artillery that have been ordered to mobilize. The Quality Flower Shop was awarded first prize for window displays during the merchants’ carnival week at Paw- tucket last week. Johnston Bros. last week had an Easter display at their greenhouses that attracted several hundred visitors. The Flower Growers’ Association has removed its Depot No. 1 from the Black- stone hotel to the Crown hotel, on Wey- bosset street, where they have consider- ably more space. M. J. Leach & Sons, the Elmwood Nurseries and Arnold Williamson were among the larger purchasers of green- houses, fixtures, stock, etc., of the John Paterson estate, at Pawtucket, recently sold at auction.

Reorders are absolute, undeniable proofs of satisfaction, in every respect—quality, economy and service. The first greenhouse (the one in the fore- ground) is a portable house, which was erected for the Hicks Nurseries, Westbury, L. I., for experimental purposes. The results obtained therein were so surprising that a second one of our patented construction was erected, and now their third greenhouse (the one in the back- ground) has just been completed. Notice that provision has been made to extend this house to larger proportions when desired. These reorders from so prominent a concern should be ample proof of this organization’s satisfactory service. PUT YOUR GREENHOUSE PROBLEMS UP TO US.

Get a large vision of the future—then make it a reality. Do you know, if we could, by some legerdemain, whisk you away from your fireside and transport you from range to range of AGMCO houses, pausing to examine into the whys and the wherefores of the design, and stopping to listen to the enthusiastic comments and explanations of the happy owners—if you could feast your eyes on the beauty of the houses and their lightness—your professional judgment on the utility of their appointments and the perfection of their construction, the future would look brighter in the light of your resolution to become the owner of an AGMCO super-greenhouse.

One thing we found out very early in the business was that the wind often blew into a greenhouse when the doors and ventilators were open and caused the whole roof to sort of lift up, like a balloon. Right then we designed connection fittings which would hold the roof down. These have been improved upon from time to time, until] we now make the famous bolted-through-the-pipe purlin and post fittings. By means of these your greenhouse is actually anchored to the ground. This matter is worth investigating. Just drop us a line. _||JOHN C. MONINGER COMPANY CHICAGO NEW YORK CINCINNATI 914 BLACKHAWK STREET 807 MARBRIDGE BLDG. 2309 UNION CENTRAL BLDG. nm Fe!

Three more lights to a space, four less posts, columns and rafters in every 100 feet. In spite of the fact that the roof bars, purlins and rafters are each made slightly heavier, you have a house of a noticeably increased lightness. What shade there is, is more widely diffused. Very naturally, you would think increasing the rafter spacing would make necessary either more columns across the house or an elaborate complica- tion of trusses. Quite the contrary. So carefully has the entire frame been worked out, from an engineering standpoint, that we can build a N NE 16-inch lights between rafters, instead of house up to 78 feet and only use two columns. The trussing, instead of being complicated, is by far the simplest we have yet used. One thing this construction surely points out strongly, and thatis: It’s not so much a question of how much iron you use in a house as it is how you use it. So don’t allow yourself to be side-tracked on a construction having a lot of criss-cross trussings and bracing that look strong. 7 Looking strong and being strong are two entirely separate things. When you are ready to talk building, say when and where and we'll be there.

The Florists’ Review su FLORISTS’ FLOWER SEEDS New Giant Waved or Spencer SWEET PEAS There is no other flower that ranks greater in importance to the florist than Sweet Peas.

ERHAPS because everyone had seen what was coming, the declaration last week of a state of war with Ger- many produced no general shock affecting business. Few florists were able to note that Easter sales, then just gathering volume, were cut down by the his- toric developments. But war is a se- rious matter, and the question that is uppermost today concerns the effect on general business and, in this trade, par- ticularly the effect on the business of florists. It is well known that the subject of war is occupying much more attention in the east than it is elsewhere; that along the Atlantic the martial spirit runs high and that as it travels west the wave of excitement, like the one cre- ated by the pebble in the millpond, grows less and less until it scarcely is perceptible. In the effort to measure the effect on the trade The Review has sought the views of a number of repre- sentative men, engaged in all depart- ments of the business, but principally identified with the retail end of the trade, where they come in touch with the public. A few ask that they be not quoted or state that they have no views on the sub- ject, thereby showing their state of mind to be pessimism or hesitancy, but in a majority of cases the response was prompt, positive and highly opti- mistic. Perhaps it is not un- natural, but the replies from the middle west in- dicate far less apprehen- sion as to the war than as to the crops; there is con- fidence that good crops mean good business for at least another year, espe- cially good business for florists, nurserymen and seedsmen. The letters will be read with unusual interest. Here they are: R. C. Kerr, Houston, Tex. Business conditions are good, much better than last vear. Easter trade was the largest in the his- tory of our _ business. Others report the same. Almost everyone is opti- lar: Ine Deg tant minds of business men. for plant sales. wiht mistic as to the future. However, there is an undercurrent of uncertainty as to war’s effect on future business. The declaration of war has caused consider- able temporary uneasiness, but in the course of time, when the people have re- covered from the shock, I look for but little depreciation in business in Texas. J. A. Valentine, Denver, Colo. Some of our customers are presenting war as the reason for careful buying, but they are not customers who buy freely at any time. Others are buying more freely than ever before and the total business is most encouraging. I anticipate better trade than ever when the first surprise is over, because vast sums of money will be put in circulation by the government. Leo Niessen, Philadelphia. We are going ahead with our work and plans just as though there were nothing unusual in the air. O. J. Olson, St. Paul. I do not expect our country’s entering the world war will affect our business to any great extent, at least not from The Easter Business It was the Largest ever, according to Practically Unanimous Reports The Easter trade reports this spring are singularly simi- Sales were satisfactory, in most localities again the largest ever; retail prices were somewhat higher than usual; plants had the early call, cut flowers later; the decla- ration of a state of war with Germany seemed to be with- out effect, except in the extreme east. The weather was cold, but the western side of the upper Mississippi valley was almost the only section that had storms April 7; there was rain at Memphis, St. Louis and Omaha, with snow at Kansas City and Des Moines; it was cloudy at other centers, rarely bright, but not unfavorable Easter itself, with rare exceptions, was clear, but cool for the customary promenade, cutting down the morning sale of corsage flowers. ' Stock in general was more plentiful than usual, short- ages being purely local. Bulbous stock and violets, espe- cially, were in larger supply than last year. The buying was late in starting, as usual, but the clean- up was as close as could well be expected, with so large a quantity of stock to sell, and the sum of money taken by the trade certainly set a new record this Easter. FLORISTS, IS VIEW Since last week’s issue of The Review the United States has gone to war with Germany. And war is the greatest bogy that ever is raised in the hesv- But the trade 1s not alarmed. There as satis- faction with the present and confidence in the future of this business. We ea lilt} 2 2 G7) COYNE oc the way things look to me now. There will, no doubt, be a slight falling off, due to some people getting scared and holding on to money, but if we only get good crops in the northwest this year my opinion is that it will hardly be no- ticed here. Experience has shown that the sections from which the food sup- ply comes are least affected, even in panies. People do not consider flowers as much of a luxury now as they did formerly and I cannot see any reason for alarm at the present outlook of things in this trade. G. C. Perkins, Newark, N. Y. I think that some of the old-timers, who can remember back to the days of ’61, would be the only ones who are really competent to say from personal knowledge how the war will affect trade and business conditions. I think there will be great differences of opinion, based on whether correspondents are naturally of optimistic or pessimistic disposition. The writer is of an optimis- tic disposition and is of the opinion that the entrance of this country into war will have the effect of increasing prices and stimulating trade. Judging from what he has heard of con- ditions during the period of the Civil war, that was the result at that time. I think the effect upon the fruit tree end of the nurs- ery business will be detri- mental, both because there will be so many good jobs to be had for the asking that nurserymen who sell through agents will find difficulty in getting men to take up with the business of the canvassing for the sale of nursery stock, and furthermore farmers will find grain crops and gen- eral farming so profitable that they will be less in- clined to go into orchard planting. As to the effect upon trade in flowers and ornamental stock, how- ever, I think it will be decidedly beneficial, for it will put an unusually large amount of money into cir- culation and, unless the war goes to a point where the same rigid economy is necessary in this country that has been necessary in the European countries in- volved, I think there will be a considerable increase 12 The Florists’ Review APRIL 12, 1917. in trade. The active circulation of money always has helped florists and dealers in ornamentals. Daniel MacRorie, San Francisco. Trade at this time is as good as, if not better than, ever before and pros- pects never were better in our line. Comparison of the bulk of the business during the last three weeks with the records of the same period in five previ- ous years shows an increase in 1917 of sixteen per cent. If anything, busi- ness has been stimulated by the decla- ration of war. If it were going to have any other effect it would have shown the signs ‘of it before now. The Easter trade this year was better by far than any of the last three years, excepting only 1915, which was the exposition year. The west is passing through a period of unparalleled prosperity and there is no reason to believe that the war will in any way affect the florists’ trade on the Pacific coast. J. J. Hess, Omaha, Neb. Most assuredly our entry into the world war will affect the florists’ busi- ness. Inside of six months I expect the money market will be firm and then the moneyed people will economize, and the first thing they will cut down on will be flowers; society will not be active while we are at war. As a matter of course the agricultural states will be the least affected. D. C. Horgan, Macon, Ga. While our Easter business showed an increase of about twenty per cent over last Easter, at the same time we are be- ginning to feel the effect of our country ) entering the war. Regular business has dropped off considerably during the last few weeks, and while we are always. optimistic in our views, we cannot but feel that our line of business will suffer very considerably until the war propo- sition is settled. E. C. Amling, Chicago. It may take some time to disclose the trend events will take and I would not care to express a decided opinion at this time, but I doubt if conditions as affecting the florists’ business have been changed by last week’s developments. In my view the prosperity of the trade, as of the general public, will be affected not so much by war and taxation as by the success of agriculture. If we have a bountiful harvest this year we shall have good business next fall and winter. My experience has convinced me that the opposite of the general belief is true: that the florists’ business is not one of the first to be affected by a change in conditions either way, but one of the last. G. E. Schulz, Louisville, Ky. It would be hard to predict just what effect our entering the world’s war will have on business. I do not believe that it is going to hurt us a great deal, for the reason that there does not seem to be any general excitement. The war has been in progress in Europe for a good many months and now almost everyone is accustomed to it. However, had we entered the war at the beginning I be- lieve there would have been an enormous slump in the trade. At first I was some- what afraid that our entering the war would kill Easter business, but we have just passed through one of the biggest days we ever have had. We were com- pelled to lock our doors on Saturday afternoon at 3 o’clock and had to throw our entire force to filling orders to get out our deliveries and after we completed this discovered that we were entirely out of cut flowers and had prob- ably only a half dozen plants in the store. In speaking to the president of one of our large concerns here, he is un- der the impression that our entering the war is going to boom business and that we are going to see an enormous in- crease. However, it would be entirely impossible for anyone to make at this time a statement that would be anything more than opinion. Wallace R. Pierson, Cromwell, Conn. As to the effect, on the trade, of this country’s entering the war, the writer is of the opinion that it will make little difference, except for the shortage of certain lines of stock, due to the cutting off of the imports, and for the shortage of help. S. S. Pennock, Philadelphia. It seems to me that this war situation is much more serious than any of us realize, and it is going to hurt our busi- ness very materially. Fundamentally war is wrong from any angle you look at it, and I cannot see how we can gain anything by it, nor can I see anything but poor business for every business ex- cepting those that are directly affected by this war condition. Flowers are a luxury and, with the high taxes that we are bound to have, luxuries will be the first thing the people will economize on, which can not help but hurt the florists’ business, and hurt it seriously. My feel- ings were, and hopes, that we could avoid having the war brought to this country, and I still hope we may not be seriously involved, and there will be some way shown by which satisfactory adjustments may be made. When it is. all over what has been gained, either by the victor or the vanquished? Nothing. John Bertermann, Indianapolis. Flowers are a luxury and will be treated as such should war conditions be imposed on the populace of the land that are severe. Fortunately, it will take some time for this condition to de- velop, and let us all hope that peace will be concluded before such urgent financial conditions are imposed on the American public. The Easter just passed showed clearly that the lovers of flowers. will keep on spending a portion of their money for them just so long as they have a fair amount to do it with. Prices of all commodities entering into the flower business are now higher and wilk continue to be so until the termination of the war. Every florist should keep close track on his overhead and wear and tear expenses, as well as his operat- ing expenses, and see that he obtains the right prices for his goods. Should these be imposed; it will be necessary to curtail and change the various phases of each individual firm so that it will meet any conditions imposed properly. It would be foolish to sail right into the gale without proper guidance and a clear view ahead. Let the florists do all they can for an honorable and early peace. PN en hen en Ae <6) UNSELFISH ADVERTISING. Columbus, O., florists were the bene- ficiaries of a large display newspaper advertisement urging the people of that city to buy flowers for Easter. The ad- vertisement was prepared by the Munk Floral Co. and informed the public that flowers this year were plentiful. Sug- gestions of what to buy, both in cut stock and plants, were also contained in the advertisement. The Ohio State Journal, a morning newspaper of Columbus, runs a page cooperative advertisement under the caption, ‘‘Beautifying the Home.’’ Each of the concerns having an adver- tisement on this page is entitled to the use in turn of a large space in the center. April 4, the Wednesday before Easter, this space was used by the Munk Floral Co. The message of this company was upon the condition of the flower market at this season, naming the cut stock which was plentiful and good, the potted plants and bulbous stock, and concluded with a suggestion regarding stock for spring planting. This adver- tisement, which occupied a space of twelve inches on four columns, was headed ‘‘Flowers Plentiful for Easter.’’ - Alfred C. Houtes, president of the Columbus Florists’ Association, said he thought this an excellent example of free advertising. ‘‘The florists cer- tainly got in at the right time when they published this article just at Easter,’’ he added. The action of the Munk concern is another evidence of the friendly codp- eration which is prevalent among the trade at Columbus. Anything that helps the trade as a whole helps the in- dividual florist. ROBBING THE CLASSICS. One of the greatest thinkers of the past, Ralph Waldo Emerson, in his essay on ‘‘Gifts,’’ says: ‘‘If, at any time, it comes into my head that a present is due from me to somebody, I am puzzled what to give..... But flowers are always fit presents, be- cause they are a proud assertion that a ray of beauty outvalues all the util- ities of the world’’! As an interest- ing start to his sales letter or adver- tisement, where could the high-grade florist find better material than this quotation from Emerson?

Which is more interesting, from the buyer’s standpoint—the only correct viewpoint in advertising: ‘‘ We have a fresh supply of roses,’’ a weak gener- ality, or ‘‘ You surely agree with Emer- son,’’ a personal statement bound to arouse curiosity on the part of the reader ? The advertiser has his chance in the second paragraph, after he has gained the reader’s attention. There is plenty of time for Smith, the florist, to tell the people that Smith’s flowers are won- derful and that Emerson must have thought of flowers such as Smith’s when he wrote his essay. Having exploited Emerson for com- mercial purposes, the florist who sells flowers to the upper class may as well use quotations from Darwin, Bacon, Burke and other men of fame, who, in less strenuous days, found time to say something nice about flowers. The unusual in advertising is at a premium. Of course, the retailer whose patrons are of the less affluent class, or whose advertising is chiefly price argument, may not fihd high-brow tactics advis- able; there is such a thing as ‘‘shoot- ing’’ over the heads of one’s pros- pective customers.

In making wedding bouquets, do you wrap No. 12 annealed wire around the flower stems or do you use an extra piece of wire thread for this? J.C. M.—Tex. The stemming of flowers for a bouquet is a matter of much importance. The nature and frailness of the different flow- ers must always be considered. For car- nations, roses, etc., No. 20 annealed wire i3 considered good, but with valley and sweet peas extra precaution must be taken. In stemming valley and sweet peas it is best to use quite a little of their own foliage, but to have the flowers stand a reasonable distance above the green. The wire for valley and sweet peas should be decidedly flexible, or else the gracefulness of the flowers may be entirely lost. The trouble with many de- signers is that they use too much wire, and the flowers appear stiff and unnatural. A good bouquet maker will not wind or fasten the flowers together until the entire bouquet is finished; then the bouquet is fastened with fine wire or green thread. H. J. H. TROUBLES COME NOT SINGLY. This winter the trade has been beset by one alarm after another. First it was proposed to give the Federal Hor- ticultural Board autocratic control over the business of nurserymen and florists who ship plants or trees. Then horti- cultural inspectors advised the same board to establish a quarantine that would shut out imports of bays, azaleas, Manetti stocks, palms, rhododendrons and all balled plants, from every source. It was said at the time that such an Wreath of Cattleyas and Valley, by Grandy, of Norfolk, Va. action would put back the trade to where it was fifty years ago. Came then an assortment of other menaces; embargoes on coal by rail- roads, the car shortage and troubles with the express companies. At present the enforcement of the Ohio law ‘‘re- quiring a licensed fireman for steam boilers of thirty horsepower or over’’ has caused considerable trouble in that state. How many Ohio growers can afford one licensed fireman for the day and one for the night? Last month a member of the New York legislature Hroposed an amend- ment to the penal code of the state that would remove flowers from the excepted Canis ) A Mothers ig REMEMBER YOUR @ MOTHER WITHHER fo} FAVORITE FLOWER!

There is a provision that florists will be al- lowed to sell their goods on Easter and three Sundays, those preceding Christ- mas, New Year’ s and Memorial day. If a florist operates a business near a cemetery he may keep open Sundays from 9 a. m. to 5 p. m. S. A. Anderson, of Buffalo, believes that such regulations would not work hardships on the florists’ business. ‘‘1 think that the employees of the flower stores are entitled to one day of rest,’’ said Mr. Anderson. ‘‘I think it would serve to educate the people to buy their flowers on Saturday, so that the stores could be closed on Sunday. I rather think that it would benefit business, and it would be a good thing for the trade.’’ MOTHERS’ DAY. The Review is asked, by F. Lauten- schlager, chairman of the publicitv com- mittee of the Chicago Florists’ Club, to publish the following: ANNOUNCEMENT. The publicity committee of the Chicago Florists’ Club has been instructed to carry on a national cobperative advertising campaign to stimulate and create a greater demand for flowers and plants of every description for Mothers’ day, Sunday, May 13, 1917. ; This movement is strictly a national codpera- tive advertising proposition, whereby this com- mittee plans to devote the net proceeds of this campaign to the purchase of a full-page adver- tisement announcing Mothers’ day in one of the leading magazines with a national circulation of 600,000 or over. To carry out this plan as formulated will be quite an undertaking and to do so it will be necessary to dispose of a very large number of stamps and window posters. Now, then, if every florist in this country does his share to support this movement, this com- mittee will be able to make an announcement of this kind. Time is short. Act at once. State the amount of money you wish to subscribe for stamps and window posters. Forward your check imme- diately to F. Lautenschlager, 444 West Erie street, Chicago, Ill. Make all checks payable to O. H. Amling, treasurer, Chicago Florists’ Club. The stamps and window posters to be used in this campaign will be printed in two colors with a border of forget-me-nots. They are a work of art and should be used by everyone in the florists’ business. The stamps will measure two and three-eighths inches high, the window posters, same color and design as stamps, seven and three-quarter inches high. Stamps and window posters will be gummed and ready for use. Send your subscription and check at once, also tell every florist in your community to do so. It will help your business and theirs. Stamps, window posters and price lists will be forwarded early next week.

Remove the mulch from herbaceous beds and borders and, when this is done, use a cultivator between the rows. Where this is not feasible, use an ordi- nary digging fork to loosen the soil about them. Any planting not com- pleted in fall should be done now. A few plants, like Japanese anemones, Shasta daisies, pompon chrysanthemums, inearvilleas, kniphofias and rehmannias do better, anyway, if spring-planted. Get all perennials planted as soon as possible if you want good returns from them this season. If you gave your perennials a light covering, there will probably be few deaths. If the coating was a fairly heavy one, placed over them while the ground was soft, more deaths from rot may be. looked for. Tuberous-Rooted Begonias. You may not be troubling to start any tuberous-rooted begonias from seed and may want a batch of them. In such a ease you can always get a fine assort- ment of both singles and doubles from any of the seedsmen. If started in flats of sand, these will soon make roots and growths, when they can be potted off. Tuberous begonias are fine used as bed- ding plants in partial shade, especially where they can be mulched and occa- sionally watered. They make fine pot plants, and on a shaded porch or piazza they will flower for a long time. If you have, near your home, any vases or tubs which get a considerable amount of shade, plant these with one color of tuberous begonias and if the soil is of good quality they will give you a won- derful profusion of bloom all summer. Spray Shrubs for Scale. It is necessary to spray many shrubs, some shade trees, all roses and all fruit trees with either a soluble oil or lime- sulphur before growth starts, to insure freedom from San Jose and other forms of scale. Do the spraying on a clear, sunny day, when there is little wind. Use a fine spray nozzle and be sure to damp every part of the wood. We were told some years ago, when the San Jose scale became prevalent in the east, that our orchards were doomed and _ that many shrubs, such as lilacs, malus, cydonias, crategus, etc., were practically in the same boat. All these predictions have been falsified, for by intelligent spraying during the dormant season we now secure a better quality of fruit and our shrubberies are certainly better than before the advent of the San Jose seale. Removing Outdoor Mulch. There is often a temptation to remove outdoor mulch from various outdoor plants with the first warm days in March. This is a mistake. March and early April usually give us some bitter winds with stinging frosts, followed by warm sunshine. This is hard on plants just uncovered. It is better not to re- move all winter covering until early April, and even later farther north. Such plants as forget-me-nots, pansies, violas, daisies, bulbs of all kinds, Can- terbury bells, herbaceous perennials, roses, and everything, in fact, which has had a mulch, should now be gradually uncovered, but better do it a little late rather than early. Some of the smaller plants have been loosened by the action of the frost. Care should be taken to firm these. Directly after a shower of rain is a good time to remove winter mulches, and a cloudy, damp day is better than a clear, warm one. Planting Hardy Roses. While the hybrid perpetuals and hybrid teas do well if planted in No- vember, provided they are well pro- tected, most of the planting is usually left until spring. Secure the plants as soon as possible, and endeavor to get plants which have not been stored over winter in sheds or cellars. Do not buy the cheap Holland stock; it is short- lived and unsatisfactory in our cold states. Do not buy roses on their own roots unless -you live in one of the warmer states. Many own-root roses have less vigor than budded or grafted ones and are less hardy. Anyone doubt- ing this should buy a few of each kind and make a test. Cover the buds or grafts to a depth of three or four inches. Do not work in any fresh manure about the roots of these or any other plants. Get the planting done as soon as possible after the ground is free from frost. Make Use of the Hotbeds. No grower can afford to be without a good supply of coldframes. They are in- valuable adjuncts to every greenhouse establishment where a variety of stock for retail trade is grown. At this season a good number of plants can be placed in hotbeds in order to lessen the crowd- ing in the houses. Carnations will do much better in frames than in a green- house if a little warm manure is placed below them and a layer of fine coal ashes is spread on top to stand them on. Buddleias, berried solanums, asters, stocks and other annuals will also be- come stockier in frames than in the greenhouse. Start some gladioli in 3- inch pots for an early outdoor batch. Place all your potted-off sweet peas for outdoor culture in these frames, to say nothing of various vegetable plants. When you can plunge the pots, bedding geraniums, ageratums, lobelias, helio- tropes, ete., will make a grand growth in hotbeds. Pruning Hardy Roses. April is a good month for pruning hardy roses. Do not be in too big a rush to do it. Remove all winter pro- tection in advance. Cut back the hybrid perpetuals, like Druschki, Laing, Brun- ner, Mrs. Sharman-Crawford, Paul Neyron, ete., to two or three eyes. Cut away all dead and weak wood. Prune hybrid teas much more lightly. Remov- ing one-third of the previous season’s growth will suffice for such varieties as the Killarneys, Mme. Leon Pain, Mme. Caroline Testout, Mme. Ravary, Gruss an Teplitz, Harry Kirk, ete. The same pruning will answer for the polyanthas, or so-called baby ramblers. The true ramblers, like Dorothy Perkins, Lady Gay, Hiawatha, R. ex- celsa, Silver Moon, ete., do best if pruned after blooming. If this is done, only dead and weak wood need be cut away now. GROWERS! WHAT HAVE YOUR PRICES BEEN? [The following statement is by a grower who is among the largest in the country. The state- ments are startling. Is it possible prices may be expected to show a general decline in the face of the increased cost of production? What do your figures show? Write to the Editor.] In looking back on our March busi- ness, to see the cause for the severe re- duction in sales for the month, which have been about eighteen per cent less than March, 1916, we find that the cause for this decrease in sales is the low prices which were received for flowers during the month of March as com- pared with March a year ago. We keep an accurate account of our costs and re- ceipts and find that prices have declined as follows: March Stock price decline Russell roses........-.0 cece eee eeeee 28 per cent Killarmey roses 2.2... 2... cece eee eee 18 per cent White Killarney roses................ 15 per cent Ophelia roses ....... 6. eee eee eee eee 15 per cent Various red ros@sS........ 0c cece eee eee 12 per cent Carnation. 56 55.5.66 6054 200609 ee 9 per cent American Beauties ................05 5 per cent There are less Beauties grown than a year ago and more favorable weather resulted in a better quality being pro- duced during the month. The severe HOW ABOUT IT? slump in the price of Russell no doubt is caused by the larger quantity grown this year, compared with a year ago. The general average price of roses and carnations was affected by the im- mense quantity of bulbous stock which was thrown on ‘tthe market this year. This immense oversupply is largely due to the action of the bulb growers in ’ Holland in giving their surplus stock to growers in this market to be grown on shares. The lessened demand for flowers in general is due a good deal to the un- settled condition caused by the war feel- ing. Whether we shall have any better trade in April is, of course, hard to say as yet, as what effect the declaration of war will have upon the general condi- tion of business is uncertain. How- ever, there is no doubt that we shall have quite a reduction in business. The added cost of producing flowers during the month of March, over March of last year, was about fifteen per cent. We should like to see some expression of the experience of other growers as to their March business. Bassett & Washburn. APRIL 12, 1917. The Florists’ Review 15 ya she e Al HOLLAND STOCK GIVEN UP. Fear Some May Come. Hope that the spring imports from Holland will not come has turned to fear lest some of the stock may be sent in worthless condition. Indeed, the oppor- tunity to announce definitely that the cases originally packed for the Nieuw Amsterdam will not come forward is re- garded as good news for the customers of one importing house, which last week wrote some of them in part as follows: ‘‘Being sure that this arrival date would be too late for the average con- signee, we cabled all Holland shippers to have the shipments unloaded from the delayed ships and returned to them. We also cabled our forwarders to allow nothing to come so late; but while the shippers were quite willing to cancel all unshipped orders, the steamship com- pany absolutely refused to unload any shipments from the delayed ships. This made the shippers not only helpless, but blameless, as most of the shipments had left their nurseries before the submarine decree was known. ‘“In this dilemma we invoked the aid of our State Department, asking some of our larger customers to codperate, to prevent the delayed shipments coming. We also continued cabling the Holland- America line at Rotterdam, also our forwarders and shippers that we would refuse to release the delayed shipments on arrival here. This firm stand evi- dently was effective, as we today re- ceived :.dvices from the Hollana-Amer- ica line that the shipments per S. S. Maartensdyk and Westerdyk would not now come.’’ History of Spring Shipments. It is well understood that when the German submarine decree went into ef- fect February 1 it stopped traffic be- tween Holland and United States ports, just as the Holland firms were preparing their spring shipments. The 8. S. Nieuw Amsterdam had left Rotterdam January 31 with many hundreds of cases of gla- diolus bulbs, boxwoods and other nur- sery stock, but she was recalled to Rot- terdam by wireless and her cargo was transferred, about February 7, to 8S. S. Maartensdyk and Westerdyk. The Holland-America line has been postponing the sailings of these ships from week to week, in the meantime ad- vising the shippers of all kinds of mer- chandise to continue forwarding ship- ments to steamer side, until seven or eight loaded ships had accumulated at Rotterdam scheduled to sail about March 15. But about that time seven large Holland ships were sunk by sub- marines in one day and this further postponed the sailings of the delayed ships until ‘‘the end of March.’’ This would mean that the shipments could hardly arrive in New York before May, perhaps late in that month. Then it was that hope turned to alarm. The stock, if not ruined, certainly would be too late for the spring trade. The situation is thus described by one of the large importers of Boskoop nursery stock: Large Losses Likely. ‘‘The shipments in the Nieuw Amster- dam were fully covered by marine and war risk insurance, including insurance against heating to destination, and they were reinsured at an increased rate when the shipments were transferred to other steamers, but according to cable information the insurance company dis- — claimed liability for damage through de- lay. The Holland attorneys, to whom we submitted the policies for opinion, de- cided that the insurance company could not be held liable unless it were proven that the damage was caused by heating or usual marine or war risk causes. They stated that the position the steamship company took with relation to unloading was legally correct, that once the ship- ments were aboard their steamers and bill of lading issued, the consignee was obliged to pay the freight charges, which had to be guaranteed in advance, regardless of the condition of the goods.’’ THE STATE ASSOCIATION. Move for Universal Shipping Tags. A pleasant and profitable meeting of the State Florists’ Association of Indi- ana was held April 3 at the Claypool hotel, Indianapolis, President Berter- mann presiding. After the reading and approval of the minutes of the last meet- ing, the membership up to April 1 was announced—157 members in good stand- ing. The following were elected to mem- bership: B. A. and F. W. Blubaugh, I. L. Totten, C. B. Durham, Claude Griffith and E. B. Steddum. The relationship between the office of state entomologist and the association has brought mutual benefits, and it, is the desire of both to be of further aid to each other. With this in view, a com- mittee was appointed some time ago to meet with the state entomologist with regard to obtaining a shipping tag that would be honored in all states. A. F. J. Baur reported for this committee. He stated the situation was rather perplex- ing. In some states the state officers have been issuing growers’ shipping tags, which, although usually honored in states near home, were not respected in those states farther away. Entomolo- gist Wallace was of the opinion that if all the states could be interested enough to make quarterly inspections of all es- tablishments that ship young plant stock, pests could be kept well under control. Thus satisfactory health cer- tificates could be obtained, which would be received in all states without doubt or trouble. A closer unity between state offices and the associations would accom- plish much in this direction. The reten- tion of the entomologist’s office in the state was mentioned. Steamers Taken Over. The International Forwarding Co,, Chicago, had a cable last week from the Holland-America line at Rotterdam stating that the Nieuw Amsterdam and the Westerdyk both had been taken over by the Holland government and that it was impossible to state when shipments will go forward. If the Dutch govern- ment unloaded the Westerdyk the prob- abilities are none of the nursery stock on it will come, as this forwarding agent is under the belief that all the Holland houses for which it acts have done their best to minimize losses by preventing shipments at any such late date and it is well known that many representa- _tives of Dutch houses in this country have cabled home that trouble will be avoided by heading off shipments not likely to reach the consignee in good condition or in time for spring trade. Gladiolus bulbs could be of little value after having been in the cases since the middle of January and the few weeks of delay last season resulted in heavy losses on boxwood and other nursery stock. As months of delay have to be reckoned with this year, definite news that shipments will not come is likely to be accepted everywhere as the cheap- est way out of an unprecedented situa- tion. "2 Wavlvevvevlive Association to Help State. The governor had intended to put this branch under a commission, in connec- tion with five other branches of public offices. When the importance of the flo- rists’ business was understood by the governor, however, his view on this sub- ject was changed. He has now asked the support of the state association in making Turkey Run a _ true-to-nature park and preserving Indiana’s numer- ous kinds of wild flowers. In connection with this, he has offered the association a house, a 5-acre tract of land and a few greenhouses, if necessary, to use in con- nection with this work. Mr. Baur advised all florists to consult the entomologist when perplexed, or when desiring information. President Bertermann commended Entomologist Wallace and told of his advice to the Neweastle people with regard to the rose midge. He explained that it took twelve days for this pest to hatch, and this meant a fumigation every night for fourteen nights. This was tried and proved successful. Mr. Kuebler told of another instance in which the growers’ stock at Evansville was suffering from the gall fly. Mr. Wallace suggested the burning of tobacco stems every night for six weeks; this also was successful. Opportunity for Wide Recognition. The association was pleased to have the governor confer with the members with reference to Turkey Run. A com- mittee of one was appointed to get in touch with Mr. Sieber, the governor’s representative, May 11, to obtain full particulars of the offer. This report is to be read at the next meeting. It was deemed proper to invite Governor Good- rich to attend the next meeting of the 16 The Florists’ Review APRIL 12, 1917. association. Judge Conner felt that this was a golden opportunity for the state authorities to recognize them and their work, as there were so many things needed in various lines of improvement. The high prices of florists’ accessories were again discussed. There was talk of trying to bring some action on the coal and pot situations. Mr. Kuebler, who resides in a mining town, is in a good position to investigate the coal problem. The association gave O. E. Steinkamp a vote of thanks for his dili- gent work at the flower show and for his careful report. Announcement of the May meeting at Indianapolis was made, and an invi- tation from Mr. Irwin, of Columbus, Ind., inviting the association to hold their September meeting with him, was read. The tornado situation was an impor- tant item of discussion and the follow- ing committee was appointed to look into this question and find out the best way of helping stricken districts: John Hartje, chairman; Fred Kiel and A. F. J. Baur. This report will be ready at the next meeting. After adjournment the remainder of the evening was taken up by a lecture on salesmanship, by J. E. Morrison, which was followed by a general discus- sion. It was felt that ‘‘the wagging of a satisfied customer’s tongue’’ was the best advertisement one could have. E. E. T. INDIANA GROWS VALLEY PIPS. My firm has been taking some of the old forced lily of the valley pips from the beds, sending them to our Cumber- laud establishment and planting them at the edge of a large grove. They were plauted about six inches apart and have multiplied wonderfully during the last three years. It was primarily intended that this bed should furnish us quanti- ties of lily of the valley during the natu- ral season; that is, May. When the present foreign difficulties became acute and it was impossible to obtain pips, we naturally turned toward the bed of valley at Cumberland. About 5,000 were dug up, leaving a remainder for future purposes, and 3,000 of the larger pips were sclected for forcing. A part of these were used in our store at Christ- mas and the remainder at Valentine’s day. They bore from ten to fourteen flowers and were of splendid quality, being the same as the finest kind of im- ported stock and even better in many details. The only difference we noted was that it took about five weeks to force them, instead of the customary three. The bed of lily of the valley has had little attention except a covering of straw in the winter and rotted manure early in the spring. We have thought, as have most of the other florists, that it was impossible to grow a good kind of forcing valley in the central states, but have changed our minds entirely and can see that there are no limitations placed upon home production of this valuable flower. This will be a source of economy when the old imported pips are taken from the bed and replanted after forcing. John Bertermann. TO STORE VALLEY PIPS. Please give directions for storing and state the best temperature for valley pips in cold storage. Also, give an idea of how long the pipes can be left in stor- age without loss. H. O. The directions for the storage of valley hegin like the recipe for making rab- hit stew: First, catch your rabbit. Valley pips in quantity are what the non est described as comeatable in this country. There are plenty of them in certain European cities, three or four, but between that lies a wide, deep ocean the ownership Latin class of which at present is in dispute. Con- sequently the small quantities of the 1916 crop of valley pips which reached the United States quickly passed into the hands of large forcers, who are hold- ing the pips for their own use, not for sale. For the most part the pips are in public cold storage warehouses in a temperature steadily below freezing. Probably the ideal temperature for the purpose is 26 degrees to 28 degrees. It is not possible to state how long the pips may be stored without loss, as conditions vary more or less with each lot of pips. Some arrive in such shape that everyone who handles them takes a risk of loss. Of perhaps the largest lot of the 1915 crop storaged in Amer- ica, the holder used a portion as soon as possible, for the reason that he knew he would minimize his loss by getting them out quickly. The rest of his stock, placed in cold storage in November, seemed in good shape and he held back on it to get a price. The results were excellent until the pips were more than a year old; then the percentage of loss began to increase rapidly. By the four- teenth month the loss became at least thirty-three and one-third per cent; out of some cases it was much more. As these pips had been held under prac- tically ideal conditions, it seems that it shows the limit of safe storage; but under normal conditions of supply, stor- age from one crop to the next would be the utmost one would require. F. R. DISEASED VINCA LEAVES. Please inform me what ails vincas when they are like the enclosed samples. The leaves become dry and rusted on the edges and then drop off. The plants are kept in houses in which the tempera- ture is from 50 to 55 degrees. What is the cause of this trouble and what is a remedy? A. T. S.—Pa. Cut off the affected shoots. Give the plants plenty of water at the roots and a full sun. Spray the plants with Bor- deaux mixture once a week and I think your plants will soon show a decided improvement. Cc. W. SNAPDRAGON AND CALENDULA. Please let us know if antirrhinums, anchusas and calendulas can be grown to flower in pots for Christmas, and, if so, what time the seeds should be sown. C. B.—Can. Antirrhinums can be sown in May or early June in order to have plants in bloom in 6-inch or 7-inch pots at Christ- mas. Calendulas sown in August will be in bloom at that time. I doubt if anchusas could be flowered for Christ- mas. I do not think it would pay to W. try them. C. London, England.—An order of the Board of Trade prohibits the importa- tion of cut flowers. It will keep out the bulbous flowers from Holland. Paris, France.—The government re- cently issued a decree forbidding im- ports of whatever character except as authorized by special permit. This would seem to effectually bar all Dutch bulbs and plants. London, England.—In view of the difficulties the trade in the United States has had with express service, the shippers there will be interested to note that since April 1 no goods could be shipped by passenger train in*England (corresponding to the express service in America) except by the prepayment of the charges, the goods being sent at consignor’s risk. The Wholesale Flo- rists’ Federation is attempting to secure a change in the regulation. Hamilton, Bermuda.— The Harrisii crop in the island, no longer of large importance to the trade in the United States, has suffered this season for want of rain. Bradford, England.— Among numerous efforts toward intensive cultivation of land and increased productivity of crops, perhaps none is more interesting than the subsidized experiment in growing cereals and other field crops with the assistance of electric current. Prof. Blackman is reported to have said that the purpose of the experiments ‘‘is to earry to a larger scale the successful work which has been done during the last few years near Dumfries, where in 1916 an increase of about fifty per cent in grain and eighty-five per cent in straw was obtained on oats as a result from overhead electrical discharge. This was on a small scale, one acre only.’’ APRIL 12, 1917. The Florists’ Review 17 NEW YORK. The Market. Good Friday was far from good from the wholesale cut flower standpoint. But it was a significant indication of what was in store for the trade on Saturday. The men who had the experi- ences of a quarter of a century behind them united in saying it was the least profitable Easter in their recollection. This one certainly exceeds all others in low prices, light demand and abun- dance of surplus in almost every va- riety -of cut flowers. The cause, to many, was not hard to determine. In fact, the opinion was almost unanimous that the declaration of war had knocked the bottom out of the market, made the great middle class of flower buyers eco- nomical.and taken the heart out of busi- ness enterprises generally. When the evening shadows fell April 7 the street was still loaded and waiting. All through the night the wholesale doors were open and the retailers were welcomed with open arms. That is, the few retailers who left their busy haunts and all-night toil in preparation for the Sunday deliveries. It was after midnight before the usual procession of retail autos appeared and from that hour until ‘‘sunup’’ the buying showed some spirit. But Sunday found every wholesaler still overbur- dened with bulbous flowers and carna- tions. The top all day was 4 cents for carnations. A few of the finest white were sold at $5 per hundred, but $4 was high at a majority of the wholesale houses. The closing offer was 3 cents, at which many were glad to unload, so un- expectedly large were the shipments. Lilies and valley were the backbone of the market. Scarcity was the cause of this firmness. Valley especially was strong, going to 8 cents, when selected. Lilies actually advanced during Satur- day and the 10-cent quotation at mid- night had become 12 cents and for the long-stemmed some were asking $15 per hundred. However, 12 cents is a fair average and a satisfactory one. Many retailers advanced their prices for the day. The millionaire customers seldom ask prices, but insist on quality first; and certainly most of the lilies were superb. Orchids were of many kinds and prices, from a dollar for the few perfect gigas down to 25 cents for the smaller flowers. Of these there was more than a sufficiency. The same may be said of gardenias, the selects selling at $4 to $5 per dozen and the short-stemmed and inferior flowers as low as $6 per hundred. There seemed to be but a limited stock of the highest grade. Violets were here in great abundance. One specialist said his sales would total half a million. Prices did not advance as anticipated. From 50 cents a hun- dred down were the quotations April 7. A quantity remained unsold. The supply of bulbous flowers was enormous. Every window was massed with daffodils, native and southern. The southern supply was large and the quality improved, but the flowers only last a day. Prices were too low to de- serve honorable mention. There was also an immense supply of tulips of all kinds, but the only demand was for the beautiful Darwins. A great many southern gladioli were seen, but buyers were not interested, and much of the supply remained un- sold. Calla lilies also were in excess of requirements. The same may be said of sweet peas, only the Spencers win- ning favor. The street men filled their trays with daffodils, sweet peas and _ violets. Pansies also were an overflow. There was plenty of mignonette, and all the seasonable spring flowers, daisies, stocks, snapdragon and primula. Roses, fortu- nately, perhaps, for the rest of the mar- ket, were not overabundant, prices were firm at reasonable quotations and few of value remained unsold on Sunday morning. The supply of good American Beauties was limited. The specials did not sell above 50 cents. In fact, some gave 40 cents as the extreme top. Hadley did better, the finest touching 60 cents. On all grades of Hadley, about 4,000 were the total shipments of the day. All the other novelties and spe- cialties were in good demand and prices were not unreasonable. Ophelia main- tained its popularity. Club Meeting. A fair attendance, considering the general ennui following Easter, greeted President Stumpp at the April meeting of the Florists’ Club. John Scheepers gave an interesting address on tulips, with stereopticon views. A preliminary report of the flower show, by Secretary Young, showed re- ceipts from all sources of a little over $44,000; for space, $15,500; trade tickets, $6,100; program, $4,000. The net profits will be about the same as last year. A. L. Miller made a favorable report for the dinner committee; thirty-two guests were entertained and the affair was termed a magnificent success. The following committee for the flower show of-1918 was appointed: Charles B. Weathered, chairman; P. W. Popp, Wallace R. Pierson, C. H. Totty, Frank H. Traendly, John Young, Harry Weston, Louis J. Reuter, Max Schling, George E. M. Stumpp. The club has over $16,000 in the treas- ury and a suggestion to invest the funds in high-class bonds was favorably re- ceived and referred to the trustees. The following were elected to mem- bership: Arthur F. Bloodgood, Haw- thorne, N. Y.; F. E. Conine, Stratford, Conn.; Daniel Coughlin, Glen Cove, N. Y.; August J. Stotz, Clifton, N. J.; John J. Marquardt, Middle Village, N. Y.; Joseph Trepel, Brooklyn, N. Y.; Henry Baldwin, Mamaroneck, N. Y.; James A. Sullivan, Jersey City, N. J.; A. M. Merian, Rye, N. Y.; William Koehler, Astoria, N. Y.; Samuel J. Hem- ing, Brooklyn; Henry Rudolph, Essex Falls, N. J.; S. Entracht, Adolph Kruhm, Victor Alzen, Theodore Malan- dre and Ayres Booth, New York city. S. Van Riper, of Dundee Lake, N. J., was the only nominee. Roman J. Irwin displayed vases of new varieties of sweet peas, Miss Irene Pilot, Miss Gilbert and a new lavender, for which he received special mention and a vote of thanks. S. Van Riper, of Dundee Lake, staged a vase of sweet peas ot many varieties, for which he received a vote of thanks. C. W. Wright received the thanks of the club for a vase of antirrhinum. Vases of Spanish iris and Darwin tulips were exhibited by P. W. Popp and highly commended. The Flora] Hill Gardens, of Chatham, N. J., showed Carnation Lucy and re- ceived a vote of thanks. Phil. Kessler and his staff maintained the reputation of the refreshment de- partment, as usual. The Pennock-Meehan Co. staged five vases of sweet peas, grown by James F. Barclay, of Black Hall, Conn., highly commended by the committee, with a request that the grower exhibit them again. Various Notes. The theme of greatest interest now, and likely to be during. the, next three months, is the convention of the Society of American Florists. Gunther Bros. were the first to in- augurate flag decoration in store and windows. Now ‘‘everybody’s doing it. ee Popular Tommy Martin, who had been ill for many months, passed away April. 5, universally regretted and respected:: For twenty years he had been: in. the service of Traendly & Schenck. * Beau-* tiful floral emblems filled» his: home ‘at: the funeral. They were from dozens of- his friends in the trade. He leaves «a; wife and mother. For many years he was head salesman for his firm and his loss is deplored. The stock and fixtures of the H. A. Bunyard Co., Inc., were sold last week at auction. The trade was heavily repre-: sented and the prices realized are satis- factory. The stork made his first visit last week to A. E. Wheeler, of W. E. Mar- shall & Co., and left a baby girl at his home in Floral Park. W. H. Duckham, of Madison, has de- cided to go into the growing end of the business and has completed plans for the building of six or eight houses 60x 600 feet. Mr. Duckham is popular in the trade and his many friends unite in wishing him great success in his ambi- tious undertaking. The Bowling Club. Here are the scores April 5: Player— 1st 2nd 3rd 4th W.

Belvidere, Ill.—A store has been opened in the Hicks block by J. P. Herzog, who recently purchased the Fairview Greenhouses. Bloomsburg, Pa.—Charles H. Dillon returned from the shows held in Man- hattan and the Quaker City much im- pressed with the splendid stock shown. The boys at home were staggered when the size and quality of the roses were described. They will be a stimulant to many growers who saw them. Pekin, Ill.—The Haase brothers, John, Frank and Andrew, who have been work- ing for George A. Kuhl and Mrs. C. Schantz, have decided to go into busi- ness for themselves and have placed an order with the American Greenhouse Mfg. Co., Chicago, for two houses 35x91 and one house 25x91. A general line of stock will be grown for the wholesale and retail trade. Pittsburgh, Pa—J. R. J ohnson, an authority on the window glass situation, says it will be difficult to procure green- house glass during the summer. He says there already is more business than jobbers can assign to factories, with the end of the fire not many weeks dis- tant. At the time the factories go out of fire this year the stocks on hand will be much smaller than usual. The Florists’ Review APRIL 12, 1917. NASHVILLE, TENN. Easter Business Breaks Record. Again the weather man did the trade a good turn by sending a pair of sun- shiny days just before Easter. Since my last report there has been but one day on which it was dry enough for workers to get on the land, and it is cold and wet again as I write. The two good days brought the public out and never before in the history of the city has there been such a good demand for flowers of all kinds as at this Easter. Most of the growers timed everything just right, and there was a large stock of pot plants of all kinds. There were more cut flowers than usual, but not enough to go around. By 4 o’clock Saturday, April 7, some of the stores had sold all their cut flowers, all but a few daffodils and valley, and before the stores closed all were in practically the same happy condition, with the pot plants all sold, too. There was a full line of roses of all varieties, except Beauties. There were carnations galore, daffodils in great va- riety, peas, violets and valley; in fact, good supplies of all the standard cut flowers. Snapdragons were far less in evidence than they sometimes are, and they were slow sellers. Have these lovely flowers passed their popularity? There were a few excellent Darwin tulips that sold on sight. In potted plants there were some nov- elties, at least novel to this city. We saw some fine Scotch heathers, both white and pink, in the latest style of baskets. These sold readily, on their merit. Another line of baskets that sold rapidly was made up for the table, being filled with pansies and the regular table ferns. These made catchy com- binations. Boxes of yellow hyacinths, bordered with well grown plants of the new, yellow trailing coleus, from 2-inch pots, were at once among the simplest and most artistic offerings seen. The public seemed to think so, from the way they bought them. The lilies were better than those of a year ago, nearly all the plants being dwarf, stocky and carrying an unusually large number of blooms. I did not see an azalea in the city. Various Notes. At the Joy place there were some splendid calceolarias. These plants have seldom been offered to the Nashville public and they surely were a feature. The Joys sold the largest stock of flow- ers they ever offered at Easter. Natu- ral butterflies as ornaments on the pot plants and a fine line of Scotch heathers were other novelties of their place. Geny Bros. kept a force of forty-five on the jump all day and most of the night of April 7. The features were a fine line of potted roses, especially Tausendschon, and some exceptionally good rhododendrons. Their lilies were in the pink of condition, every one just right. At the Haury & Sons place the stock was nearly sold out before I was able to make my visit. The Haury made-up baskets and boxes pleased anyone, and the hyacinths were as good as could be grown. Mr. Haury said that they had cleaned up everything worth selling and were only making their late deliveries. Melntyre Bros. had good sweet peas, perhaps the largest supply in the city this year, and carnations that were fit for a show. I did not get to see their pot plants, except a few of the lilies and cinerarias, but these were first-class. Some highly complimentary things have been said about the Easter stocks, but the Nashville growers have been ex- erting themselves to see who could pro- duce the goods, and as a result there was no better stock to be found any- where. F. B. SOCIETY OF AMERICAN FLORISTS. Meeting of Show Committee. A meeting of the National Flower Show committee was held at the Hotel . Biltmore on the afternoon of Saturday, March 17, with the following members present: George Asmus, chairman, Chicago, III. Charles H. Totty, Madison, N. J. A. Farenwald, Roslyn, Pa. Patrick Welch, Boston, Mass. Thomas Roland, Nahant, Mass. John Young, New York, secretary. J. J. Hess, Omaha, Neb., treasurer. R. C. Kerr, Houston, Tex., president. There were also present: A. L. Miller, Jamaica, N. Y., vice-president. William J. Keimel, Elmhurst, N. Y. William R. Nicholson, Framingham, Mass. . F. Ammann, Edwardsville, Ill., president American Carnation Society. S. S. Pennock, Philadelphia, American Rose Society. The business of the meeting was con- fined to a discussion of a proposed closer affiliation of the American Rose and Carnation Societies with the work of the National Flower Show committee, looking to an increase in the interest Pa., president CANO attaching to National Flower Shows. After a thorough threshing-out of vari- ous questions, the following resolutions. were passed unanimously: That the American Rose Society and _ the- American Carnation Society be asked and be em- powered to send a delegate to attend the regular’ called sessions of the National Flower Show com- mittee, to assist in arranging for the coming National Flower Show at St. Louis. That the American Rose Society be permitted to underwrite the schedule for the rose classes to the extent of $2,500; that they be responsible- for same, and, in return, will participate in any possible profits from the show on a pro-rata basis, after the balance of the premium list and’ expenses are paid. Should the exhibition show a loss, the American Rose Society will assume a pro-rata share of said loss. That the American Carnation Society be per- mitted to underwrite the schedule for the carna- tion classes to the extent of $1,000; that they be- responsible for same, and, in return, will partici- pate in any possible profits from the show on a pro-rata basis, after the balance of the premium: list and expenses are paid. Should the exhibi- tion show a loss, the American Carnation Society will assume a pro-rata share of said loss. Department of Plant Registration. Objections having been filed to the name Aurora, handed in for registration of a new canna by the Conard & Jones. Co., West Grove, Pa., said firm wishes. to withdraw same and substitute the name Evening Star. As no objections have been received,. public notice is hereby given that the registrations of the new cannas, Snow Queen, Druid Hill and Morning Glow,, by the Conard & Jones Co., West Grove,. Pa., now become complete. John Young, See’y. April 7, 1917. NACADON NONE DCN ODO GANGA SANG, aNVeNVeNiiVeriverihe Hudson, N. Y.—The Allen greenhouses found excellent Easter sales for potted plants. In fact, everything grown sold well. Oakfield, N. Y.—Bates’ Flower Shop reports this Easter a_ record-breaker. They had just installed a new delivery car, which was kept busy. Jamaica, N. Y.—A. L. Miller savs the Easter plant business never was better; he sold all his plants at whole- sale several days before Easter. Rhinebeck, N. Y.—Elmer Coon ob- served that judging by the way violets were handled at Easter there was a splendid crop with a strong demand and good pricés. ‘‘Amen,’’ ejaculated the veteran grower, J. H. Snyder. Primula malacoides and pansies were also fine at the Coon establishment. Middletown, N. Y.—F. X. Dienst says the call for funeral work has been ex- ceptionally good, mentioning one in- tance of making a wreath for $25 and renewing the same each of five days at the same cost per piece. The Easter stock was up to the usual high standard and the sales were good. Middletown, N. Y.—‘‘A banner Easter’’ was the unanimous verdict of the growers and retailers here. E. A. Lorentz said it was the best ever. ‘‘We mailed out a price list to our competi- tors showing what we expected to get at retail and kept to it. It helped estab- lish prices and, so far as we know, little cutting was done. And now for spring business. ’? Highland, N. Y.—John Madden finds. a steady market for his stock of Adian- tum Croweanum. Newburgh, N. Y.—The Schaefer Es- tate has opened a downtown store to facilitate the handling of out-of-town trade. Middletown, N. Y.—W: P. Kesteloo, manager of the Wisner Greenhouses, is most sanguine as to the future of the husiness. Since his coming here there had been a steady increase in volume and an upward tendency in prices. Beacon, N. Y.—Benjamin Hammond was the recipient of a host of congratu- lations from his fellow townsmen upon his election to the presidency of the American Rose Society, the news of which had preceded his home-coming. Schenectady, N. Y.—The Barney Co. handled the stock of the Mohawk Valley Greenhouses for Easter. The Carl Co., another large department store, dis- posed of quantities of. stock at regular prices. J. W. H. Grupe, the veteran florist, is now with the Carl Co. Schenectady, N. Y.—The trade here was jubilant over Easter business. J.C. Hatcher disposed of every salable plant. The veteran grower said only the exi- gencies of the business could get him away from the growing end. H. E. Eberhardt, of the Rosendale green- houses, remarked all was serene and business great. Julius W. Egar made a fine showing. There were enough azaleas to please the better class of buyers. APRIL 12, 1917. The Florists’ Review aq. OBITUARY Peter L. Bogart. The trade will learn with sorrow of the death of Peter L. Bogart, 970 Sixth avenue, New York city, whose demise took place April 9 after many months of illness and suffering. Mr. Bogart was 60 years of age and was never mar- ried. Forty-three years ago he com- menced his career in the florists’ busi- ness by accepting a place as errand boy at the store of Alexander Burns. In 1886 he started in business for himself, opening a retail store at 970 Sixth avenue, which has ever since been his headquarters. His success was assured from the first. Mr. Bogart had many friends and acquaintances in the trade, all of whom esteemed him highly, and many beautiful floral pieces from both the wholesale and retail departments of the trade bore final evidence of their sympathy. Funeral services were held April 11 at the residence of his sister, interment taking place at Cypress Hills cemetery, April 12. The business will be continued by his brothers, William and Walter. NEWPORT, RB. I. During the last week, the gardeners’ assistants employed on the numerous summer estates throughout this section have been restless because of labor con- ditions. Some weeks ago the Gardeners’ Assistants’ Union made a demand for $2.75 a day for eight hours, instead of $2.25, then prevailing. On some of the estates this increase was at once grant- ed, although the advance was not gen- erally complied with, and in a number of instances men on various estates, while still working, had not heard defi- nitely from their employers. Head gar- deners are endeavoring to secure for their assistants the increase asked and it is believed that a satisfactory and amicable adjustment will be reached in a short time. Andrew S. Meikle was a business vis- itor in New York and vicinity last week. W. H. M. Kirkwood, Mo.—The W. A. Rowe Floral Co. has placed an order with the American Greenhouse Mfg. Co. for two Agmeo style pipe-frame houses 36x300 feet each. Wooster, O.—Palm Sunday William Pennick held a ‘‘show’’ in his store. Of the many who responded to Mr. Pennick’s blanket invitation, an ap- preciable number became enamored of the blooming plants and left orders for them. Allentown, Pa.—The establishments here received a splendid write-up in one of the dailies a short time before Easter, in which the stock offered for the day was enumerated. It is a good idea to invite the news reporter around once in a while. Elyria, O.—The store on East Bridge street formerly operated by L. J. Gunton has been purchased by the Hecock Floral Co. The purchase of the Gunton prop- erty will give the company a decided advantage in the sale of flowers and plants, as the range is somewhat re- moved from the business center. JOTTINGS FROM JERSEY’ PAV GANONG GAGA PONG N GOAN NGA NG GANONG NGA WGN GANGCA GA GANGA GANONG East Orange, N. J.—George Smith & Sons have taken the well known range of glass formerly owned by Dr. Kitchin, an orchid enthusiast, and will conduct the place in connection with the store. Bloomfield, N. J.—John Rassbach & Son predicted that everything salable would be sold at Easter, judging from the sales made. Stock grown at the Glen Ridge place was never finer. Westfield, N. J.—Charles -Doerrer & Son have exceptional facilities for mak- ing fine displays in a show window thirty feet in length, the stock being furnished from the houses at the rear. Easter stock was of the usual high grade and sold well. Orange, N. J.—P. Popken reports a large Easter business, especially in roses in pots. Some fine Frau Karl Druschki found ready sales. Carnation Belle Washburn grown by Harry O. May is grand, but it is regretted that it is not at its best earlier in the season. (ANN VANIYAN Van YaNlVaviivariivVeviivariivaviiveviiveviivay! TaN VaxlVaviaxlVaviivaxiivavivaNiverlvaviveriivav! OS Montclair, N. J.—F. W. Massmann found his handsome store and conserva- tory none too large to accommodate his big Easter trade. Rutherford, N. J—Bobbink & Atkins report the largest volume of Easter busi- ness in the history of the establishment. Azaleas took the lead and any plant showing blooms sold. A large number will be held over for next year, for va- rious reasons, but principally because they are considered highly valuable goods to carry. Roses in pots are popu- lar, most purchasers planting them for a summer crop of flowers. Rhododen- drons are rather scarce but of extra fine quality, and so on down the line. Al- though large importers of European stock, Bobbink & Atkins believe the obstacles prevailing will benefit the business in the end, and they are in- creasing the nursery area to several hundred acres to provide for the home product. SJONGUNUOUOOOGOOOUORGLUOOURERERERUGERULGRUGGOGOUOOOUUUOGOUOUQURGOROEDEOUOREROQOGOOOOOUOO0ORNO0000RNN0UNRED%: i MOTT-LY MUSINGS : UU Ss Boothman’s Flower Shop, of North Adams, Mass., reports excellent busi- ness since opening up about a year ago. One of the attractions is an electric fountain, which now is so popular and almost indispensable in a flower store. ‘“We have tiptop arrangements for get- ting the stock over from our green- houses at Adams,’’ observed Mr. Booth- man. ‘‘QOur confreres certainly were pleased to have us among them, and the talk of a get-together club is be- ing mooted.’’ J. W. Adams & Co., of Springfield, Mass., are extending their nursery de- partment. With the rapid advance in values, it looks as if only an office will be retained in the city, the nursery be- ing within easy distance from town. There is a codperative spirit prevail- ing at the Boston flower markets, as evinced by a recent week-end visit. Fol- lowing the usual purchases by the store- men, there remained considerable stock of excellent quality. Here the ‘‘boys of the street,’’ as the fakers are termed, prove their value by purchasing largely and selling at a slightly lower price than the stores. Their persistency enables them to make good sales and many a bouquet is purchased that otherwise would not be sold. As a leading sales- man remarked: ‘‘If there is no protec- tion, there can be codperation in push- ing sales along the best possible lines.’’ Penn’s, of Boston, staged a week-end window display of hats trimmed with real flowers. They were greatly ad- mired and were by many considered practical for special occasions. Charles H. Dillon, a son of the late J. L. Dillon, of Bloomsburg, Pa., has taken over the management of the ex- tensive establishment. ‘‘ While ver- benas have been a specialty with us since father founded the business,’’ ob- served Mr. Dillon, ‘‘we are strong on roses and carnations. We try them out and retain the best we can secure.’’ ‘‘Empty is the icebox,’’ said Frank Zeigler, who-has had charge of the ship- ping for many years. ‘‘I do not remem- ber when stock was so scarce at this time of year. We grow almost all our roses on grafted stock and notice one thing, that if the cut is larger the bua is smaller than if grown on own roots. A strong point in favor of grafted plants is the absence of club-root; at least, that is our experience,’’ ‘‘Benora is the favorite carnation for our retail trade,’’ observed Chat- terton Warburton, of Fall River, Miss. ‘“We use it for practically all purposes. Some growers are not successful in growing it, but our experience is highly satisfactory. The best method is either to keep the plant indoors or plant it extra early. By so doing it will flourish and continue in crop from start until finish.’’ Rose Mrs. Randolph Hearst is doing well. It is a sport of Maryland and has some of Maryland’s traits, but grafted plants induce continuous flower- ing, overcoming the tendency to rest, as when grown on own roots. Azaleas will be carried over in large numbers, but as they grow unshapely and large, they are not profitable in this condition. It will require ‘much planning on the part of the retail grower this coming summer. _‘“We have several sports of carna- tions,’’ said Theodore Staudt, of Rock- ville, Conn., ‘‘and we have decided, when we have a good one ready, to dis- tribute it through a reputable and well known specialist. We have a scarlet Rosette, one from Benora and another from Mrs. C. W. Ward.’’ W. M. The Florists’ Review APRIL 12, 1917. ath ESD 1s ‘ v vow. wT TT.

The Review brings results. WHEN inquiries are received without the full name and address of the sender, it is impossible that they be answered. EASTER, 1918, will be Mar¢h 31. It will be a week earlier than in 1917, but that may be one of the least of the differences. THE Ophelia rose still makes friends. It will be as heavily planted next season as the supply of young stock will permit. For each 1,000 names added to the sub- scription list The Review must go to press one hour earlier if the mail trains are to be caught. The forms now are kept on the presses running about sixteen consecu- tive hours. As a real estate agent working on a commission, The Review apparently could make a.rich living. John Faistenham- mer writes in from Belvidere, IIl., for in- stance, that one little ‘‘dinky’’ for-sale ad sold his range of 50,000 feet. Presto! JoHN YounG, 53 West Twenty-eighth street, sends The Review a blueprint, not suitable for photographic reproduction, of the proposed 1917 convention garden in the New York Botanical Garden. There is any amount of space available to ex- hibitors, of whom a considerable number have made reservations. Henry YOuELL, of Syracuse, N. Y., sec- retary of the American Gladiolus Society, asks special notice for the preliminary schedule for the eighth annual exhibition of the society, to be hetd at Bronx park, New York, August 23 to 26, overlapping two days of the S. A. F. convention. It is the largest list of premiums ever of- fered for gladioli, says Mr. Youell, who will supply copies on request. THE effort of every man in the trade should be for better quality, better serv- ice and better prices. There is no satis- faction in the other course. THE leading interest in that trade again has advanced the price of iron pipe $10 per ton, to the highest price on record, but it is said the end is not, yet. AN early Easter is greatly to the liking «of those who handle spring bedding - plants. There is three weeks longer than last year in which to get in shape for the outdoor work. SEVERAL years ago The Review pub- lished a leading article for the purpose of awakening the trade to the possibilities of creating a new special flower day under the name of Mothers’ day. Annu- ally the effort to get the trade to bestir itself has been repeated and other agen- cies have joined the movement, until it looks at last as though the trade is fully awake. Mothers’ day will be pushed this year as never before. THE people of Elmira, N. Y., assisted by the local Rotary Club, plan to make their fair city the ‘‘gladdest’’ place in the country. Under the influence of many orations extolling the natural advantages of their town and county, the citizens have come to realize that Elmira is a pretty good place to live in, and that they ought to be glad they are there. So, as evidence of their ‘‘gladness,’’ it is proposed that gladioli, sometimes called “‘olads,’’ be planted everywhere in the city and county. Yards, parks, lawns, roadsides—gladioli will be everywhere. One of the promoters says 1003000 bulbs are wanted. The point is, who has them? QUALITY AND PRICE. A great many florists are in too much of a hurry, and a great many others seem to think the man who quotes the lowest price should have the best stock. To establish a reputation and build up a business among a class of perma- nent customers, time is necessary, for time is an essential element in this trade, especially in the production of first-class stock. It is a mistake to ship cuttings before they are rooted or pot plants that are not established—and it is a mistake to pack stock so hurriedly that it will be broken up in transit. There may be a profit at the moment, but in the long run it is expensive to ship stock only partly ready or poorly packed. Also, it is a mistake to order habitu- ally of the man who quotes the cheapest prices. Occasionally an unusually low price means a bargain, but ordinarily it indicates indifferent quality. The man who grows the best grade of stock, giv- ing it time to grow and attention to make it grow, cannot sell at the lowest prices, but he usually gives more for the money. EFFICIENCY. Where does it go? How is it received? What will it do? The degree of efficiency of any ad- vertising medium may be determined by the correct answers to the three ques- tions set forth above. The first question can be answered with almost mathematical exactness. The second question uncovers a num- ber of things—editorial worth, circula- tion methods, prestige—which can be answered by a little careful study. The third and most important ques- tion, ‘‘What will it do?’’ is not so easy. But its answer may be approxi- mated by substituting for it the ques- tion ‘‘ What has it done?’’ When this question is put to the ad- vertising man of The Review—‘‘ What has it done?’’—he points to what The Review’s advertisers say, namely: Kindly discontinue our ad, as we have sold all our rooted cuttings. We wish to take this oppor- tunity to assu you that the results obtained from the ad were most gratifying.—Morris, the Florist, Bloomington, Ind., March 29, 1917. When you hear a man complain of the cost of advertising you can be pretty certain he spends a good bit of money elsewhere than in The Review. DOING OUR BIT. Within the last few days the people of the United States have awakened to a sudden realization that the production of food in this country is more than a matter of dollars and cents, that it is a matter of saving the American people from actual want, to say nothing of those peoples with whom we have allied ourselves. On a purely financial basis, we of the florists’ trade have as much at stake as anyone. It is not to be expected that people who are in need of food will be large buyers of flowers. And, in addi- tion to our pecuniary interest, we have the same personal and patriotic inter- ests as others. Each of us should do his bit on food production. No class of men are in better position to assist the public in gardening. It is up to us to work continuously this spring to encourage the growing of foods, crops for sale and for family consumption. We can help our customers and our neighbors to make a start and to attain success. We can assist by setting an example as well as with suggestion and advice. There are few greenhouse men who do not have more or less available ground. Let no foot of it lie idle this summer. If the space is not enough for a market- able crop, it will at least suffice for the production of food for the home table. And each meal produced at home will be one meal added to the nation’s re- sources. If we go to it with a will we can de- rive satisfaction from the thought that large production of foods outdoors this summer will avoid the possibility of having to divert part of our glass from its original purpose next winter. CHICAGO. The Market. Easter business this year proved to be equal to the hopes of even the most sanguine members of the trade. From all quarters come reports of a consider- able gain over the business done at wholesale last year, with some putting the estimate of their business as high as twice what they did last year and most others claiming a new high record. That this year surpassed last Easter by a considerable margin may be stated with certainty. Stock of nearly all kinds was consid- erably more plentiful than last year and everything, with the exception of bulb- ous stock and a few miscellaneous items, was cleaned out completely. In com- paring the prices obtained this year with those of last Easter, one is led to conclude, it is true, that the general APRIL 12, 1917.

Some lay claim to having obtained better prices than last year, but though this may have been the experience of a few, it certainly was not the case with the majority. Shipping business started out well early in the week and gained in strength continually until April 5 and 6, the big days. City trade, on the other hand, was strong April 5 and 6, dropped off suddenly April 7 and was weak Easter morning, due perhaps to the cold weather. Some, however, report their local trade to have held up satisfactorily until the close at noon, April 8. The record attained by plants equals that of cut flowers. On the whole, plants were probably a little scarce, especially good lilies, and everything cleaned out easily, some growers being sold out com- pletely a week before Easter. Reports coming in from retailers in all parts of the city indicate that busi- ness was uniformly excellent in all dis- tricts. Although some found themselves with small quantities of stock still on hand April 9, no complaints as to busi- ness done are heard and from many comes the report of an absolute clean- up. eae Beauties sold well and, if anything, were a trifle short. Other varieties of roses were in sufficient sup- ply, although at times a scarcity in red was felt. The supply of carnations was more than enough to meet a rather hesi- tating demand. It seems that this flower did not take so well as in former years. White was more than plentiful, while preference was given to red and dark pink varieties. Valley was in sufficient supply and cleaned up well. The supply of lilies was just about large enough to meet the demand. At the outset a scarcity seemed in prospect, but additional supplies, ar- riving later, alleviated the situation. A great many of the late receipts were cut extremely tight in the bud, growers realizing that a tight bud before Easter was greatly to be preferred to a more developed one after the demand was gone. Callas also were a little scarce at first, but were subsequently in suffi- cient supply to meet the demand.

Violets and sweet peas were in good supply, but cleaned out well. Mignon- ette also was in good supply and sold readily. Stocks did not prove attrac- tive to buyers and the supply, which was not large, proved ample to meet the de- mand. Bulbous stock did not sell especially well. Poeticus was plentiful and al- though the local stock cleaned up, the large supply from the south was dis- posed of only in part. Of jonquils, too, the southern supply was large and had its marked effect on home-grown stock. Tulips were in large supply, but the de- mand was only fair, Darwins being the best sellers. There were quite a few daisies on the market and demand for them was good. Snapdragons were in large supply. The quality was excellent and, although they sold fairly well, they did not clean up entirely.

The Florida asparagus has recovered from the blow dealt in February by Jack Frost and shipments became heavy last week, with, unfortunately, little demand. One thing this trade is slow to learn is that it takes time and publicity to create a demand, but that all that is needed to kill it is to shut off the supply.

The monthly meeting of the Chicago Florists’ Club was held April 5 at the Old Quincy Number 9 restaurant. In the absence of both President Amling .and Vice-president Klingsporn, Trustee Wm. Keimel acted as chairman. The following were elected to membership: E. G. Bowen, E. A. Bebb and H. G. Maclellan. Fred lLautenschlager _re- ported on the publicity work for Moth- ers’ day, which he stated to be well under way, the design of the posters and posterettes bearing the slogan, ‘‘Re- member your mother with her favorite flower,’’ having been decided on. Mr. Lautenschlager reminded the club that this publicity work was not a money- making scheme and that all profits de- rived therefrom were to be spent for general publicity work which would boost the sale of flowers. T. E. Waters brought up the subject of getting a club picnic under way. It was decided that the good of the club committee take this matter into consideration and re- port on it at the next meeting. Anton Then suggested that the club take some action to aid the growers to secure more favorable coal service for the coming year. Chairman Keimel appointed a committee to inv estigate this, as follows: APRIL 12, 1917.

It is worthy of special note that the use of corsage bouquets for the Easter morning church parade was the largest Mention The Review when you write. ever known here. No doubt a warmer and less windy morning would have seen a still more general use of flowers, but that the retailers had a large num- ber of orders in advance was apparent from the way they bought sweet peas and violets April 7. Peas had the pref- erence, as early in the week violets were of too poor quality to inspire confidence and the retailers pushed peas.

Although there is a crowd in front of the window almost all day, Mr. Meisner has found it slow work introducing his rock and water gardens. He has an interesting dis- play at his place at 1432 North Talman avenue, but has found it difficult to get florists, gardeners or wealthy people to visit him. Each garden is made to order to fit the location for which it is de- signed and such a one as that in the Albany Nurseries’ window is $250, so that only professional people or the well-to-do are interested. W. J. Smyth’s Easter display, in the big windows along Michigan avenue, was a blaze of color and perhaps the showiest show in town. The Smyth business has shown a large increase since the new front was put in last summer. C. J. Michelsen states that the sales of the E. C. Amling Co. last week in- creased more than twenty, almost twen- ty-one, per cent as compared with the Easter week of last year, which was the largest up to that time. That improved facilities promptly are followed by increased business has been the experience of Joseph Ziska & Sons. Since moving from a basement to the large, light second floor, above the new home of the E. C. Amling Co., the Ziska business has grown much faster than ever before.

Lange there was this sentence: ‘‘Six score and more experienced and courte- ous folks to serve you.’’ Six score and more is some folks, all right, for a re- tailer to employ, even counting extras at a holiday.
