You will find that practi- cally every one of them has discarded his horse and wagon delivery outfit for the more up-to-date, time and money saving motor wagon service. Why? Because the horse was a los- ing proposition. Sundays and holidays and off days, its feeding expense was the same. It required too much time to take care of, both before and after working hours. With an Overland Delivery Wagon the expense stops when you put it in your garage. And it is ready for work and at your service any time, day or night, right through the year. Complete equipment, including elec- tric starter, lights and horn— speed- ometer, ammeter, etc., make the Over- land motor wagon easy and safe to control. Any boy can drive it. And remember this— Overland motor wagons share proportionately in the economies of our enormous production of pleasure cars. That is why we can offer such an exceptional value at so low a price. See the nearest Overland dealer today. Let him explain the advantages of the Guaranty Time Payment Plan by which you can obtain one of these delivery wagons for immediate use on easy terms.

HE expression "painting the lily ' ' has become man's verbal method of decrying any attempt to improve on the beautiful in Nature. There are, nevertheless, many things which will enhance that beauty without altering the original. Nature, her- self, has done this same thing by giving flowers a background of green, making a striking and, at the same time, harmoni- ous contrast. Development of the florists' art has taught the trade the truth of these state- ments. The unsightly pot has been pro- vided with a covering which harmonizes with the stock the pot contains; plants are arranged in baskets and many other methods have been devised to give proper and artistic settings. The same is true of the modern meth- ods of handling cut flowers. The addi- tion of greens to the bouquet was merely following Nature 's idea, but the ribbon or chiffon touch has been added by the florist, he taking care to use only such colors as will contrast, but make a harmonious whole. These improved methods of the re- tail trade have brought to the flo- rist some profitable side lines. While the store is, and should be, devoted primarily to the sale of cut flowers, pot- ted plants and greens, he now car- ries many acces- sories. Add to Profits. They are profit- able, aside from what their sale nets him, in that they add to the attrac- tiveness of his store, draw a better class of trade, which means larger sales checks, and finally, but far from the least important, send into the home of the purchaser or recipient something from his store of a permanent charac- ter, which is a con- stant renteder of liim and the flowers he offers for sale. The accompanying illustration shows the window display of art pottery, made by the Jones-Eussell Co., Cleveland, O., in one of its two stores. While the pot- tery, fancy vases and other novelties are, as they should be, side lines with this company, their sale has developed into an important part of the business. Recently it was necessary to enlarge and fit up the store basement as a salesroom, wherein is carried a large assortment of these wares, always attractively dis- played. Vases Create Flower Sales. In this window display the Jones- Russell Co. features a single line of pot- tery, consisting of vases, high and low- bowls, twig sticks, flower holders and wall vases, but a great variety of high class ware is handled. It will be noted that while the vases and bowls are ar- tistic in design, they are not highly decorated. They provide attractive re- ceptacles for the flowers and do not de- tract from, but rather accentuate, the natural beauty of the blooms. • There are two reasons why a customer buys a vase. One is that he desires such The Joncs-Russell Co., Qcvdand, Finds Pottery Attract/ve and Profitable. a vase in his home; the other is to make of it a gift. Let us follow that vase ; first, into the purchaser's home. If, when he buys the vase, he also purchases a dozen roses, say, he takes it and the flowers home and installs them in a conspicuous place. For vases are not bought to be kept out of sight. There it stands, after the flowers have gone, a constant challenge and delight to the eye and at the same time a remin- der of flowers. It may be compared to a handsome frame with the picture lacking. What is more natural than for the owner, when he thinks of flowers, to remember the florist from whom he pur- chased the vase? Thus the vase be- comes not only a joy to the purchaser, but a representative of the florist in that customer's home. It would be a logical conclusion that the vase has made a steady buyer for the florist. Gifts of flowers are expressions of sentiment. When the gift flowers are accompanied by an artistic and appro- priate receptacle, such as a vase, the latter, being more or less permanent, continues to express that sentiment long after the flowers are gone. Just so long as the vase lasts, it is a reminder of someone. And, in this case also, what is more natural than to associate the source of the gift with the gift and the giver f ' ' Harry got it for me at the Jones- Russell store," would be a natural way of expressing this association. Is Creative. Here, too, the vase is a constant invitation to its owner to buy flow- ers to refill it. Thus it helps, not only the seller, but the whole trade.

Another example of such a window is jiictured in the illustration on this page. \-\ R. I'ierson Co., of Tarrytown, j\'. Y., believes that pottcrv is a logical side line for the retail florist. The window pictured was awarded lirst prize iu a window display contest arranged by a pottery manufacturer to secure the ex- ploitation of his line. "All the win- dows submitted were excellent, adding to your credit in receiving the award,'' was the comment made when the prize was awarded to Mr. I'ierson. 'I'he larger pieces in the window were used by Mr. I'iersou in his display of roses, lor which he received fii'st prize, at the New York show. The two gar- den vases were used in the Pierson rose garden, which also received lirst prize at the same show. Too much stress cannot be laid on the necessity of carrying the invaluable ac- cessories which act as a trade stimulus. Hut iu broadening his business, the re- tailer should not go beyond reasonable limits. He should confine his side lines to natural adjuncts to his business. But first, last and all the time he should remember that his business is selling tiowers and that the other things are merel.v aids in the accomjilishment of these sales. i;'^ty^^Lm^iy^j!^^^'!iL^ity{!iyt|^iu^ii^ EXPLOITING MOTHERS' DAY MOTHERS' DAY NATIONAL AD. Paid For "by Small Profits. Tlie Mothers' day advertisement of the Chicago Florists' Club, with its bor- der of forget-met-nots, apjieared in the Literary Digest for Ma.v .'3 and probably has been the most talked of thing that has happened in the trade this spring. It is well understood that the adver- tisement, costing something over $1,000, was paid for out of the jtublioity fund earned by the (Jhicago Florists' Club b.v its sales of St. Valentine's day and Motliers' day jiosterettcs. These sticker stamps in bright colors were manufac- tured in large quantities, printing great sheets of tlu^m at a time, so that by sell- ing in small lots, at moderate prices, a jirofit was turned into the publicit.v fund. A large number of florists contributed, but none contributed more than a few d(dlars and each contributor received full value for his money in tlie jiostor- ettes he obtained for his own use. It iii\(>lved a largo amount of work for the publicity committee, but the raising of the money was an easy matter because it came in small sums from many jieo- ])le and the transaction was a purchase, not a contribution. Discussion of Details. As tlic first attempt at national pub- licity for flowers the advertisement has attracted unusual attention from the trade. Not unnaturally, there is diver- sity of ojiinion regarding the details. Literary Digest has not been the fa- vorite weekly ])ublication of any con- siderable number of florists and many were surprised at the committee's selec- tion and the statement of the number of leaders reached. Discussion of this jioint gets nowhere, however, for the reason that no one would be able to pick out a ])ublication giving a greater cir- culation among an equally desirable (dass of people unless the expenditure for a. ]>age were much greater. The position accorded the advertise- ment was all that could be desired. It appeared on jiage 1, the first page in- side the cover, a position so well es- teemed that for it practically all juib- lications charge an extra price. Fimdamentally All Right. There are those who think the writiM" of the advertisement might widl have |iut more omjihasis on the sontiinontal .ippeal of the day, but it is a not un- rominon fault of florists' advertising that it neglects to take into account that the public does not lia\e tlie com])lete Ixiiowledge of the subject possessed by the writer of the fulvertisement; many a florist 's advertisement would be well liinlerstood by the fradt> but is rather iii(>aiiiiigless to the outside reader. .\s an interesting experiment, liow- t\ or, this MothiMs' ilay ad\ertiscm(Mit is excellent. It has shown the way. It- is the woil< of tlie conimittec^ of a local llorists" club, wliicli jindiably will not care to carry it on indelinitidy. The ciuit iniiation of the work, and it un- doubtedly is worth continuing, probably will rest 'with tlie S. A. F. Prire Window Display of Pottery by F. R. Prersoti Co., Tarrytown, N. Y. THE COMMITTEE'S VIEW. ''This camjiaign of advcM'tisiiig for Mothers' day was a mighty task,'' says I'recl Laiiteiischlager, chairman of the publicity committee of the <'liicago l-'lo- rists" ('lull. '• First of all, we got a late May 10, 1917. The Florists^ Review 17 start because we felt that the national ])ubli('ity ((iininittee of the ^Society of American J'lorists should carry on this Avork, and ms tliis body met at New York March 120, dur dub did not wish to steal the national society's thunder by pro- moting a national campaign. "Anotlier obstacle Avas the fact that tiiere was a competitive commercial Mothers' day advertising scheme in the field, and tiiese, combined with u lack of real interest, were some of tlie barriers whicli stood in the way. '•But the obstacles mentioned should and will be easily overcome in the fu- ture and if Ave all get together co- operative national advertising Avill be- come a regular fixture just as much as any other item of our l)usiness. "It is the opinion of our committee that a nuivcmcut of tliis kind should be controlled liy the liighest society of our trade organizations, the Society of American Florists or the Florists' Tele- graph Delivery Association. Either of tliese organizations could devise ways and means for carrying on active cam- paigns periodically and if tlie plan used by us is ado])ted, coiiperative ad- A'ertising could be made self-sustaining; likewise it Avould cover local advertis- ing effectively, Avhich would connect up Avith tlie national campaign. ' ' Our committee has learned consider- able in liaudling this Avork, and we shall be more than pleased to give others the benefit of our experience." Till- Literary Difivsl foi May fi. 1 91 '4 EVERYBODY IS ON THE WAGON. There is one thing certain, that if this week's Mothers' day business ])cters out unsatisfactorily, no one can say ''I told you so" and point to the lack of advertising as the principal reason for the failure. In fact, the question at this Avriting as to how the day's busi- ness could })ossibly fail to break all rec- ords would be no less pertinent than the celebrated inquiry as to hoAv a man is to get out of his trousers in a sleeping- oar berth wliile he is sitting on them. For nearly every florist seems to be "doing his bit" in advertising the day, and the nation's mothers undoubtedly are surprised by the week's outburst of maternal love. Of all the publicity work already done for tlie day, that of a large flo- rists' club probably ranks first. Tliis organization not only distriliuted stick- ers and jiosters, but also inserted a full- ]iage advertisement in a Aveekly of na- tional circulation, the benefits of Avhicii tlie trade at large enjoyed. N'ati(ui:il advertising also Avas employed by nine aggressive concerns, under tlie coopera- tive plan, in this case the advertisement bearing the signatures of the partici- pants in the scheme. A printing con- cern specializing in sales literature for florists is reported to have sold in- numerable stickers and posters. Last, but not least, florists of many of the leading cities pooled their ap- ]iropriations and thereby gave the flower message of the day a good sliowing in the papers. Among these Avas the cam- paign of the Detroit florists, who ex- ]iended $750 for display advertisements in city newspapers alone. The plans of the Detroiters proA'ided for special stickers and jiosters. Every piece of mail, each store Avindow, each delivery automobile — everything that belonged to the advertisers had a sticker or jioster pasted on it.

THE DELIVERY PROBLEM r)«virrs>rtrirsvir)«virir»iri«vit«tiri«\ir)«tiri«tir«vir)r^ HOW MOTORS SOLVED IT. Florists Were Pioneers. Manufacturers of automobiles for de- livery purposes generally recognize that florists were among the first to test motors for commercial purposes and that there are few lines of business in which the automobile has been so gener- ally adopted for delivery work. Indeed, florists began to try out motor delivery before there were any widely known commercial motor vehicles. The desire for speedy, stylish delivery prompted many a florist to buy a pleasure car, remove its body and put on a specially built panel top for de- livery work, before there were any solicitous salesmen offering vehicles specially built for the purpose. A Special Problem. A florist's delivery problem is differ- ent from that of most other business men. To begin with, nearly all flower orders are rush orders; quick action is demanded. If the customer does not put off ordering, the florist likes to delay delivery as long as he can. Flowers never benefit by waiting an event; they do not improve after they have left the florist 's hands. Consequently, if it is a funeral design or a corsage bouquet, delivery is made as near the hour of use as safety will permit. It was obvious that the motor car, traveling fifteen to twenty miles an hour in city streets, would have many advantages over a liorse-drawn vehicle traveling at best not more tlian six miles per hour, and tliat only for short distances. With a motor the florist can delay the start on his route until hours after tlie limit with his slower conveyance. He accomplishes as much in one hour with his car as he could do in three hours with his wagon. There are not so many florists who keep a ear going continuously as there are who provide a good load for a late afternoon trip. The Advertising Value. In addition to enabling the florist to deliver his flowers in a fresh condition. to increase the rapidity pf his special service and to extend the radius of his operations, the motor car supplies the florist's need of a stylish turnout. Unlike coal, ice, milk and groceries, flowers seldom are delivered at the back door. Far be it from any florist to inti- mate that his service contemplates such a thing, but the fact is that the business of many a florist comes to him largely because of his reputation; those who buy do so at least partly because they wish to have his well known, stylish outfit seen making deliveries at , the front door. A motor car, especially in the earlier days, afforded a marked advance in the tone of the delivery outfit; it was ex- actly what society's favorite florist needed in his business. It has an ad- vertising value and helps greatly in giving the service which is so essential a part of the better class retail flower business. Efficiency That Decides. But the general adoption of the motor car for delivery purposes never would have resulted from anything except efficiency, which is another word for economy. It was demonstrated that an automobile will do as much work as three wagons. If a florist needed three outfits, in the old days, he reduced his expense by using one motor truck. If his needs were met by one horse and wagon, a truck gave him the oppor- tunity of extending his business without adding to his overhead expense, as would be done by putting on a second wagon. Even if his needs did not fully occupy the time of one wagon, a motor car does not eat its head off in the stable any faster than does a horse. Taking consideration of all the points of view, today there is scarcely any florist who does not run at least one car. It makes no difference whether a florist runs a little 8x10 store in an office building in some big city, or if he has a big range of greenhouses in the country; in either case he has his car. It is not uncommon for fairly busy florists to operate large fleets. For instance, that of W. L. Bock Flower Co., of Kansas City, is shown in the accompanying illustration. He has five cars in service. A Field for Frequent Sales. The manufacturers of delivery trucks now find the florists' trade one of the best fields for their attention. While most florists already have trucks, none would think of going back to the old methods and the need for a depend- able service and a stylish appearance necessitates frequent renewals; not even the best of trucks will last forever when given the hard service 365 days in the year that the florist demands. Experience has shown that the aver- age florists ' truck is good for about two years. After that it is cheaper to trade in the old machine on the purchase of a new one. Consequently, florists afford an inexhaustible field for the motor truck salesman. Light Truck Now Chosen. The first truck manufacturers who gave special attention to the florists' trade were prompted by the sales that came to them without solicitation. In that day the light truck was unknown. The vehicles were heavy and they were expensive to operate, though it must be said for them that they demonstrated wearing qualities that have not been found in all the later lighter vehicles. The average retail florist seldom loads his truck to anything like its capacity. For that reason some of them still buy used pleasure cars and put on commer- cial bodies. Such a machine, designed to carry perhaps 800 pounds of passen- gers, usually is equal to the light mer- chandise load the florist gives it, but the average touring car is not designed for the short around-the-neighborhood trips which constitute the greater part of the florist's deliveries. The design of a truck is radically different from the design of a touring car, being built to meet a special purpose, and the rebuilt pleasure car idea is rapidly being dis- pelled. In the light of experience, although growers and those having to do with moderately heavy loads still find a heavy truck desirable, most of the retail store florists have displaced the heavy cars with one or another of the popular, in- expensive light machines of 1,000 pounds to 1,500 pounds capacity. There are thousands of these doing duty for florists today. No florist who has had There Are Few Trades in Which the Automobile Has Been More Generally Adopted for Delivery Work. Max 10, 1917. The Florists' Review 19 one would for a moment think of getting along without it. Nothing ever came into his business that was so great a help! to it, for the delivery problem of all cu^ses^ of flower stores and green- house operators is solved. A WINDOW OF BEAUTIES. When the window decorator of the Marshall Field & Co. retail store, Chi- cago, 111., said to be one of the highest salaried men in his profession in the world, designed a window in honor of the visit of the French commission, he chose, as the central feature, a huge bunch of American Beauty roses, atop of which he placed the American eagle, while in the background were the Amer- ican and French flags. In the fore- ground and under the overhanging flow- ers were strewn the petals of many more natural roses. The window display is shown in the accompanying illustration. Needless to say, such lavish use of these flowers attracted a great amount of at- tention from the crowds in the heart of Chicago's retail district, wherein the store is located. The selection of the roses and the interest they aroused show that Beauties are among the most popu- lar flowers with the public. HOOSIERS' MAY MEETING. The Coal Situation Discussed. The May 1 meeting of the Indiana State Florists' Association, at the es- tablishment of the Smith & Young Co., was one of the most interesting and profitable sessions held by the organi- zation in a long time. President Berter- mann presided and after the preliminary business the name of Allen Humason was proposed for associate membership. The pot situation was discussed and samples of pots were exhibited by the Missouri Pottery & Supply Co., of St. Louis. The various kinds and sizes, ranging from 2 to 8-inch, were on hand for inspection. The pots were ex- amined and pronounced good by several of the members. The coal situation was another inter- esting topic. Secretary Steinkamp read a letter from the Sargent Coal Co., New- burg, Ind., stating the company's wil- lingness to cooperate with the members of the association. Mr. Steinkamp ad- vised members to write for prices. A. Rasmussen told of his experience last year and is convinced that the high prices of coal were a hold-up and that the same conditions still exist, only to a still greater degree. A. F. J. Baur told of his experience and said it was his belief that the poorest grades of coal brought the highest prices. The operators of good mines were booked up on contract orders which they were com- pelled to fill. The operators who mined poor coal, which was practically unsal- able, did not have this to contend with and were in a position to demand any price they wanted for their coal. Presi- dent Bertermann told of an incident in his endeavor to secure a contract for Pocahontas coal for this season's use. When he telegraphed to the C. C. C. & B. coal contractors he received a reply to the effect that they were sold out of Pocahontas coal but could furnish Vir- ginia Splint, as stated in the letter to follow. This letter quoted prices, but at the bottom was a postscript saying that before the letter was mailed the entire lot of coal had been sold and 1* *.

It is manufactured by a concern in Craw- fordsville and has proved to be a suc- cess. The makers expect to place the vase on the general market next year. Florists' Tornado Insurance. A. Rasmussen thanked the associa- tion for its letter of sympathy on his lieavy loss by the tornado. He ex- plained his plan for the new insurance association, which is to cover damages by hail, tornado and snow cave-ins. It is Mr. Rasmussen 's intention to form a national insurance association, but he felt it an honor to see its birth among his fellow-craftsmen of the state asso- ciation and to have their indorsement. A general discussion of the subject pro- voked great enthusiasm. Herman Junge gave his views and is heartily in favor of the idea, but felt that it would be a difficult task to work out the premiums and scales. He felt that all should help to shoulder the responsibility. Presi- dent Bertermann was of the same opin- ion and announced his company to be ready to promote the organization. W. W. Coles felt that to make the policies cover damages done by snow was a good thing. Joseph Wilkins made a few re- marks in favor of the scheme, after which each member was polled, and each member deemed the new insurance a good guarantee for florists. A com- mittee of five was appointed to work out a plan for such a mutual insurance association. The committee is composed of the following: Anders Rasmussen, chairman; A. F. J. Baur, L. Elder, Her- man Junge, Charles Pahud. The ex- penses of this committee are to be met by the association and its report will be made at the next meeting. Secretary Steinkamp read letters from E. G. Hill and the Frank brothers, expressing regrets at their absence and saying that they were in favor of the insurance plan. W. W. Coles spoke on "Good Fellow- ship." Secretary Steinkamp read a letter to Governor Goodrich indorsing Mr. Liebcr 's plan for the botanical gar- dens. After adjournment the members en- joyed a social hour and buffet luncheon.

RETURNS FROM ROSES. As Viewed by an Eastern Grower. The question now open for discussion in the columns of The Review, with reference to the increase or decline of revenue from rose production in the first three months of 1917 as compared with the corresponding period of 1916, is worthy of the intense consideration of every man in the business who is de- voting space under glass to the cultiva- tion of roses. The report from Bassett & Washburn in The Review of April 12, page 14, showing the percentage of varietal price decline for March, with comment as to the probable cause thereof, has a most pleasing ring of candor to one who ex- perienced a like happening, and would prove, if accurate production and reve- nue statistics could be compiled from the records of every rose and carnation growing establishment in the country, to be the rule rather than the exception. Business was appallingly poor during the month of March, statements to the contrary notwithstanding. A superabundance of bulbous stock, as Bassett & Washburn state, had a tre- mendous effect in diminishing the de- mand for roses and carnations and the reason is obvious — For who would purchase roses or earnations When a ten si)ot a thousand daffs would buy? Larger Output, but Lower Prices. Yet it is a deplorable state of affairs when cheap and easily grown flowers are sold below actual cost and thus im- pede the disposal of stock the culture of which requires brains, ability and high expense. Out experience, at the Lakeview Rose Gardens, Jamestown, N. Y., during the month of March, is similar to that of Bassett & Washburn in so far as price decline is concerned, and similar to that of the Wendland & Keimel Co., as re- ported in The Review of April 26, in increased production. Our gross sales for March were twenty-five per cent greater than for the same month in 1916, but the twenty-five per cent in- crease was the result of pre-Easter plant sales. The revenue received from the sale of roses and carnations was about the same as that of last year, and this, considering the increased production, showed a price decline of about equal proportion to that reported by Bassett & Washburn. Our operating expenses during the period in question were approximately twenty per cent greater than in the cor- responding period of the preceding year. Hence we echo the question used as a caption for the subject by The Review — "Growers! How about it?" — with a feeling principally noteworthy for its lack of optimism. How about it? Will present economic conditions have a tendency to minimize the demand for flowers? Will the in- creased cost of labor, coal and important accessories permit operating without sustaining a loss? Will an increase in selling price, providing it is possible to secure it, offset the increased operating costs? Who can answer? Effects of the War. B. C. Forbes, in an article in the cur- rent issue of Hearst's Magazine, en- titled "What Would War Do to Amer- ica?" cites the following cycle of pos- sible developments: First — A shock felt almost acutely in security markets and financial t^cles. Second — Disorganization of industry through the calling of workers to arms, the cancellation of many contracts and paralysis in the ordering of numerous classes of merchandise. Third — A rise in prices of all supplies needed by armies, such as foodstuffs, clothing and munition-fabrication necessities. Fourth — Increased demand for labor and conse- quent advance in wages. Fifth — Irregular recovery in security markets, with more or less wild speculations in stocks benefited by military requirements. Sixth — Revival in general business and in speculation. Seventh — War-Inflated prosperity, overtrading and overexpansion, intensified by prospects of peace. Eighth — Tightening of bank credits, influenced by government borrowing and considerations of safety. Ninth — Excessive activity caused by rehabili- tation activity. Tenth — A relapse, not immediate, but sure. If all those possible happenings ma- terialize into actuality, our immediate future, based on present conditions, does not appear any too rosy. Conservation of resources, increased efficiency and in- creasing vigilance are our only means of salvation. Efficiency has prospered mightily dur- ing the last few years and reaction is inevitable. The great natural law of rhythm is about to execute its down- ward course, and lucky is he who can hold fast until the great reemerging into the plane of prosperity takes place. Chas. N. Cotter. TULIPS FOR EASTER, 1918. Please state if the following Darwin and cottage tulips are good commercial varieties, and give the best treatment for them to have them bloom for Easter, 1918, or later: Glory, King Harold, Mrs. Cleveland, Nora Ware, Ronton d'Or, Vitellina, Mrs. Moon and Parisian White. N. F. C— la. The cottage tulips, while splendidj)ut- doors, are less valuable for indoor cul- ture and are not so good for cutting as the Darwins. Instead of growing the Darwins you mention, I would suggest Pride of Haarlem, the finest of all Dar- wins for forcing; William Copeland, Baronne de la Tonnaye and Mme. Krelage as a most reliable quartette. The first two are the best for forcing. If they are wanted for cutting, grow them in flats containing four or five inches of soil and treat in the regulation way. If wanted in pans, use those eight and ten inches in diameter. Bulbs should be placed in the soil by the end of October. As Easter, 1918, comes in late March, your bulbs should be housed from five to six weeks before they are wanted in flower. Darwins grow much taller than the early forcing tulips and take somewhat longer to flower. They can be given a temperature of 55 de- grees for a time, reducing this 5 to 10 degrees as they approach the flowering period. For flowering later than Easter, keep the plants later in the cellar. Dar- wins may be held as late as Memorial day where a good, cold cellar is at dis- posal. C. W. CAN YOU BEAT THESE? A reader in Denver wrote May 4: "The discussions in the last few issues of The Review concerning prices have interested me greatly. As I was look- ing over a local paper my eye found this appended ad. Can these cut-throat prices be beaten?" The ad was as fol- lows: CARNATIONS, doz., 30c; roses, doz., 40c; ferns. 10c; fuchsias, 15c; snapdragons, 15c; sweet peas, 35c; other bargains. The Flower Mart, 1616 Tremont st. OPEN LETTCI^./^ DEADEn^ THE PRICE PROBLEM. Our firm would like to hear an expres- sion from florists in various parts of the country upon the subject of advancing prices. In view of the rapidly rising prices of everything that enters into our business, what are we to do to maintain a fair and reasonable margin of profit for ourselves? We are fully mindful of the views of a considerable portion of the trade, that we deal in a luxury, and that an advance in our price might drive away business. We believe too much stress is laid upon this danger. Is it not more reasonable to believe, in view of the advances in every other business, that our customers fully expect a reasonable increase in cost from us, and would ac- cept it without complaint? If we are making no more money now than we should make, and we accept and absorb all these advancing costs our- selves, clearly our profits are going to be seriously impaired or entirely swept away. Our firm believes that if the larger dealers throughout the country lead in a reasonable price revision, the other florists, with a few exceptions, will fall in line. Take a few articles, to illus- trate: Who will deny that good, well- grown geraniums in 4-inch pots are sold too cheaply at the generally prevailing price of $8 per hundred wholesale, and $1,50 per dozen retail? The writer easily recalls that his father used to get 25 cents each, or $2.50 per dozen, for 4-inch geraniums. It could be done even more easily now, in the more prosperous con- dition of the country. The same proportion may be fairly applied to other bedding stock. In cut flower stock, carnations at this season ought to be maintained at a selling price May 10, 1917.

Besides having one of the best equip- ped stores in Pittsburgh, Pa., the Lud- wig Floral Co. ranks among the largest growers in western Pennsylvania. At its range at Castle Shannon, Pa., shown in the accompanying illustration, the company produces principally roses, car- nations, chrysanthemums and lilies for the Pittsburgh store. The range con- sists of 150,000 feet of glass and before the company took it over five years ago was known as the Saxonwald Green- houses. The officers of the company all are well known to the trade in Pitts- burgh. They are: President, Gustav Ludwig; vice-president, J. W. Ludwig; secretary, Gilbert Ludwig; treasurer, Henry Meuschke. FRIEDLEY A CRACK BOWLER. Frank A. Friedley, of Cleveland, O., is a versatile young man. He not only manages the greenhouses of the Friedley Co., at East Cleveland, is secretary of the Cleveland Florists ' Club, and a leader in Cleveland trade circles, but is a proficient bowler as well. He is a crack member of the Cleveland Florists ' Bowling Club, which, during the last season, won the Michigan Cut Flower Co. trophy by defeating the Detroit Florists' Bowling Club. The accom- panying reproduction of his photograph shows Mr. Friedley about to make a strike. Mr. Friedley served his appren- ticeship as a grower with the E. G. Hill Co., Richmond, Tnd., remaining there five years. He was later with the Miami Floral Co., Dayton, O., Frank Huntsman and William Murphy, Cin- cinnati, O., the Chicago Carnation Co., Joliet, HI., and Miss Bell Miller, Spring- field, 111., leaving the last named nine years ago to become superintendent of the J. M, Gasser Co. greenhouses at Rocky River, O., a suburb of Cleveland. By Seeds and Cuttings. Phloxes may be propagated by seeds, cuttings or divisions. The hybrid phloxes will not breed true from seed, but it is found that about forty per cent of the seedlings will be as good as the parents. In order to secure the best results with seed, cross [)ollination is necessary. The seed should be sown in February in a moderate temperature, and as soon as the seedlings are large enough to handle they should be placed Frank A. Friedley. siHgly in 2yy-h\ch. pots and grown in coldframes or a greenhouse. The new plants should be set out early in the spring, allowing two to two and one-half feet between the plants. In this man- ner it is possible to siicure bloom the first season from seed. To perpetuate varieties of especial merit, proj)agation by cuttings is re- sorted to. Cuttings may be taken in the fall from flowering stems which had been previously cut back immediately after flowering. Cuttings two to three inches long should be selected, prefer- ably with a heel, and rooted in sand in a shady coldframe. They should then be potted in light, sandy loam, and kept in the coldframe over winter, with a protection of sash and straw\ Early in tlie spring these young plants should be set out similarly to seedlings, or placed in a nursery row until they have at- tained sufficient size for permanent planting. Another method employed where greenhouse facilities are available is to take up old plants from the garden in December, pot them and force growth. Good, strong cuttings may then be ob- tained in March, which are rooted and potted in the usual manner. By Dividing the Clumps. Tlie easiest and most common method of propagation, especially among ama- teurs, consists of taking up the plants in the fall or spring and dividing the (lumps with a spade or knife. Phloxes increase by underground stolons growing outward, and it is these young, vigorous shoots on the outside which produce the best jilants. The newly divided plants should be set out at once. In the case of the dwarf and creeping species, P. siibulata, large plants may be converted into numerous small ones by shaking s(»me light soil among them in the sum- mer and then dividing in the fall, when the trailing branches will be found to have rooted. The garden culture of phloxes is quite simple. As they are gross feeders, the soil should he worked up to a depth of eighteen inches to two feet and well en- riched with well-rotted manure. The manure is especially necessary in light, sandy soil, to conserve moisture. II; should be used sparingly in stiff, heavy soil, hoWever, in view of a prevalent spot disease caused by a fungus, Cercos- pora phlogina. The disease is character- ized by circular brown spots on the foli- 20 The Florists^ Review May 10, 1017. GROWERS! HOW ABOUT IT? I RETURNS FROM ROSES. As Viewed by an Eastern Grower.

TULIPS FOR EASTER, 1918. I'lease state if the following Darwin and ctittage tulips are gotid commercial varieties, and give the best treatment for them tt) have them bloom for Easter, 1!H8, or later: (llory, King Harold, Mrs. Cleveland, ?S'ora Ware, Bouttm il'Or, A'itellina, Mrs. ]\loon and I'arisiau White. N. y. C— la. The cottage tulips, while sjdendiil out- doors, are less valuable for iiuloor cul- ture and are not so good for cutting as the Darwins. Instead of growing the Darwins you mention, I would suggest Pride of llaarlem, the tinest of all Dar- wins for forcing; AV'^illiam Copeland, Ijaronne de la Ttmnaye antl Mme. Krelage as :i most reliable tpiartette. The first two are the best for forcing. If they are wanted for cutting, grow them in llats containing four or five inches of stdl and treat in the regulation way. If wanted in i)ans, use those eight antl ten intdies in diameter. Bulbs should be ])laced in the soil by the end lants later in the cellar. Dar- wins may be held as late as Memorial dav where a good, cold cellar is at dis- posal. C. W. CAN YOU BEAT THESE?

ODEN l^TTEl^-/^-' CJEADEnB THE PRICE PROBLEM. Our firm would like to hear an expres- sion from florists in various parts of the country ujiou the subject of advancing jirices. In view of the rapidly rising prices of everything that enters into our business, what are we to do to maintain .1 fair and reasonalde margin of jirofit for ourselves.' W^e are fully mindful of the views of a consitlerable jitirtion of the trade, that we deal in a luxury, antl that an advance in our price might drive away business. We believe too much stress is laid tijion this danger. Is it not more reasonable to believe, in view of the advances in every other business, that our customers fully expect a reasonable increase in cost from us, and would ac- cept it without comjilaint .' If we are making no more money now than we should make, and we accept and absorb all these advancing costs our- selves, clearly our jirofits are going to be seriously impaired or entirely swept away. Our firm lielieves that if the larger tlcalers throughout the country lead in a reasonable price revision, the other florists, with a few exceptions, will fall in line. Take a few articles, to illus- trate: Who will deny that good, well- grown geraniums in 4-iiich jiots are sold too cheajily at the generally prevailing jirice of $S ]icr liundred wholesale, and ,tl.5() per dozen retail? The writer easily recalls that his father used to get 25 cents each, or .$2.50 per dozen, for 4-inch geraniums. Tt coultl be done even more easily now, in the more prosperous con- dition of the country. Tlie same projtortion may be fairly applied to other bedding stock. In cut llowcr stock, carnations at this season ought to be maintained at a selling price -Mav Ht, I'JIT.

The distance of planting should vary from two to three feet, depending upon the effects desired. For color grouping, clumps may be set two feet a])art without being over- crowded. IMiloxes suffer in hot weather because of their tendency to form roots at the surface. To avoid this, mulch- ing with well-decayed cow manure should be resorted to in June. Moderate shade is also beneficial during the hot part of tlie day, so that an eastern or western border is preferable to one facing south. For the best results, phloxes should be divided every three or four years. I i 3C=3C ac^c 3^C a^^c aczac SEASONABLE mt Ajr SUGGESTIONS IC=3I ai=ac a^c ic=3i lasjc^i • ^ f Window Boxes. One of the most satisfactory signs of the times, horticulturally, has been the great development in the use of window boxes, not only on private resi- dences but also on hotels, apartment houses, stores and even factories. This is something that both growers and re- tailers should encourage, develop and push, as indicated in the leading article in Tlie Review for April 26. If you have a store, why not fill one or two boxes, to say nothing of vases, and give prospective customers an idea of what they look like and what their cost will be? One or two growers of my acquaint- ance use boxes and vases at their own houses and they find them to be the best possible advertisements. Why not try it yourself and see how it works? If you send printed circulars to your customers, mention the fact that now is the time to fill piazza boxes, window boxes, vases and hanging boxes. If you have advjsrtisements in your local paper, do the same. Have good samples planted for customers to look over and quite a few are sure to buy. Get the Soil Beady. Procure a good pile of compost spe- cially prepared for the boxes and baskets. Remember that the plants arc to occupy tlie boxes for several months, that tliey will have but a limited root- ing area and tliat they in all probability will get none too much water and no feeding, in many cases. Any soil will not do, as some imagine. It must be rich and fully one-third of it should be well rotted cow or horse manure. If these fertilizers are not to be had, use sheep manure of the pulverized brand, and some fine bone, in addition. If the soil is not a heavy one no sand is needed, but add a little sand if the loam is stiff and retentive. Tlirow tlic soil into a heap and turn it a couple of times to mix it well. Plants for Vases and Boxes. In tlie April 26 issue of The Review there ap))eared a list of some of tlie plants suital)le for boxes. As a general rule, the geranium finds most favor as a flowering jdant, as it is a perpetual bloomer and tlie plants certainly make a splendid showing where they are care- fully watered. Some other good flower- ing subjects for boxes are petunias, fuchsias, in partial shade; lantanas, Marguerite Mrs. Sandet^' vincas, ver benas, ageratum«f ^jjhtelia gracifls, nas- turtiums, abutilons and the dwarfer cannas. Mixtures of flowering ]dants are not effective. It is best to stick to one or, at the mostj^ two varieties. Some good trailing plants are green and variegated vincas, Evonymus radicans, English ivy, German ivy and Asparagus Sprengeri. Good, full plants should be used for hanging. The following are suitable for basket work: English ivy, ivy-leaved geraniums, browallias, fuch- sias, particularly the variety Trailing Queen; German ivy and tradescantias. For shaded locations baskets of Boston ferns are fine. Boxes of ferns are satis- factory for similar locations. Many foliage plants can, of course, be effec- tively used in boxes and vases, but for summer use flowering subjects are rather more effective. Snapdragons for Next Winter. It now is time to sow seeds or take cuttings of snapdragons where a fall and winter crop is wanted next season. Cut- tings are necessary to perpetuate some special varieties, but if seeds of these same sorts are procurable I would advise using them instead of cuttings, on ac- count of tlie greater vigor of the plants and their greater resistance to disease. There will be a few rogues when snap- dragons are grown from seeds, but the number is comparatively trifling if the best strains of seeds are bought. Seeds should be sown in pans or flats and later transferred to flats or small pots. They should be allowed to run up to flower before being pinched back, at which time it is easy to weed out any rogues, and if shifted into 4-inch pots they can be held in them until benched, which should be early in August, These snapdragons will throw a crop of flow- ers in October and can be depended upon to bloom until the following July. Cyclamens. Cyclamen plants now are making good growth and by this time should be in 4-inch pots. They like a fairly warm house; one held at 55 degrees at night will suit them to a nicety. In potting use a light, fairly open compost contain- ing plenty of flaky leaf-mold, and be sure to keep the corms elevated above the soil. Cyclamens now will need a light shade on bright days, but it is better to uee a removable rather than a per- manent shade. Late-sown cyclamens are just ready to move from flats into 2^- inch pots. These will make nice plants in 5-inch or 6-inch pots for next Thanks- giving or Christmas. Nerines and Amaryllis Belladonna. The foliage now will be turning yel- low on both Guernsey lilies and Bella- donna lilies. Pla«ts may now be placed in a coldframe and the water supply gradually decreased. As soon as the foliage has died down lay the plants on their sides either outdoors, on a warm, sunny bank, or, better still, in cold- frames, with sashes above them. These bulbous plants must have a thorough baking right through the summer if a good crop of flower spikes is wanted in the fall. Leave the plants alone until flower spikes appear. Plants recently repotted will flower sparsely. Nerines especially will not bloom freely until the pots are a mass of roots. These are beautiful fall-flowering subjects and come in at a season when flowers are not anv too abundant. p^aMiiy^iiyaMiis^i*i^i^iMi^i^.LL^i^ SEASONABLE SUGGESTIONS FOR SOUTHERN FLORISTS ir?svirirsvirirwh«vih«vir;rsvi!ywr«vir«vir?wrrsvir^ CALLAS IN THE SOUTH. Although the end of the calla flow- ering season is at hand in the south, do not withhold water altogether from the plants. It is a most difficult job to carry calla bulbs through the summer season without the crowns rotting. I liave tried resting them in the ground, or in pots, and also digging them and ])lacing them in a cool, sliady place, but never with any degree of success. The only way I liave succeeded is to give the plants enough water to keep them ill a lialf growing condition all summer, :nid start them into active growth again about tlie end of August. I have always had better results from growing them in beds or on benches than in pots, but others may have had results directly the opposite. Some growers throw away the oid bulbs at the end of each season and start new ones. If these gro\yers will give the above plan a fair trial, I think they will be convinced that by it they can save money. L. CARNATIONS IN THE SOUTH. Although warm weather is here, much can be done to prolong the floweriog season of carnations in the south. The glass requires a heavier shading. A thin coat of whiting can easily be applied with a spray pump, on the inside of the houses. In this way the summer rains have no effect on it and it is eas- ily removed in the fall by spraying with the hose. A mulch one inch in depth, of any old rotted manure, will help to keep the roots cool, as well as supply fer- tilizer. The plants must be well sup- ]died with water and syringed often. Keep thrips, which are active now, in subjection by using any of the standard remedies. Keep the doors and ventila- tors wide open day and night, except during storms, of course. L. SOUTHERN DECORAMVE STOCK. Palms and other plants in the south that have been used during the winter May 10, 1917. The Florists^ Review 23 season may now be overhauled before placing them in a lath house for the summer. It is not always practical to give such plants a shift into larger pots or tubs, because the handling of large pots is a burdensome affair. If the plants are taken from their pots and as much as possible of the old soil removed, they Ynay be repotted in the same pots, using, of course, a rich potting soil, to which has been added a good sprinkling of bone meal. Arecas and latanias may have many of their roots cut away be- fore repotting without any bad effect, but kentias are more particular in this respect. Syringe the plants thoroughly daily and give them lots of space. A palm is more particular in the matter of head room than root room. L. READY FOR MOTHERS' DAY. Charles L. Baum, who in addition to his retail store has a range consisting of two and one-half acres under glass at Knoxville, Tenn., is a grower who be- lieves that Mothers' day is one of the biggest flower-selling days of the year. The accompanying illustration shows a house of Mr. Baum 's new white seedling carnation, Dr. Sam. Fifteen thousand of this variety alone will be cut for the Mothers' day sales. Dr. Sam is de- scribed as a trifle smaller than some varieties of carnations, but is a free ■and easy bloomer, keeps well and is un- surpassed at this season of the year. THE RETAIL FLOWER STORE. [Rudolph J. Mohr, a graduate of the Mis- souri Botanical Garden with the class of 1902, contributed an article on retail store manage- ment to a recent issue of the Garden Bulletin. It Is herewith reprinted in part.] The retail flower business of today is quite different from what it was in the past. A few years ago it was consid- ered outside the florists' trade to carry anything besides flowers or material di- rectly connected with them; but now the up-to-date florist will supply the sun- parlor not only with plants, but also with bird-cages, chairs, tables, fountain aquariums, goldfish and artificial flow- ers, while for the garden he will furnish cement benches, sundials, gazing-globes and many other novelties. Moreover, such a diversified stock does not in any way interfere with the sale of fresh flowers, but rather encourages it, as it attracts a wider class of people into the store. A retail flower shop should at all times be a place of beauty. The plants in the store should be fresh, the pots covered, the cut flowers neatly arranged in vases or baskets and the workroom separated from the salesroom by at least a screen. A good buyer is of the utmost impor- tance in conducting a retail business. The proprietor should do his own buy- ing, as he is in the best position to know just what the trade demands, but if this is not possible, the buyer should t»e a conscientious employee, one who has the store's interest at heart and is a good judge of values and qualities. Salesmanship is no small item in es- tablishing the success of a retail flower store. No matter how good the stock or how fine the location, one must have a good salesman in order to draw the trade. He should at all times be cour- te^fi^^nd rqaj^.and willing to^show the stock; he should be able to arrange the plants in an attractive manner, be a :good judge of their appropriateness for New Carnation Dr. Sam at the Establishment of C. L. Baum, Knoxville. special occasions and he should know enough about them to be able to give advice and suggestions concerning their care. Moreover, he should never sell or promise anything not in stock or that there is the slightest doubt about secur- ing in time, for misrepresentation and unreliability do more injury to a busi- ness than anything else. In this day of competition among re- tail stores, advertising is a great con- sideration, whether it be a small neigh- borhood florist or a large concern that caters to a city and suburban trade. If direct advertising is used — and it is a good method — a neat and attractive cir- cular or card will suffice. This could be sent before a holiday or at a time when a special bargain is to be obtained. A card index could be kept of all to whom circulars or cards have been sent, and if they have not purchased after sending a certain number, their names might be dropped from the list. Win- dow decoration as a means of advertis- ing should not be overlooked. The man- ner of packing and delivering an order could also be classed as advertising, and part of the appropriation for such pur- pose should be spent in attractive boxes and tags. Indirect advertising offers a wide choice of mediums, such as posters, sign- boards, programs and notices in street- cars or newspapers. Newspaper adver- tising is probably the best, the choice of paper depending upon its circulation, class of people reading it and the locali- ties reached. A large space is, of course, more desirable, as more details can be given and the principal selling points ])rought out, but a neat and attractive jidvertisement, whether large or small, is sure to bring good results. Eudoljjh J. Mohr. Akron, O. — ^The boiler room of the McFarlands greenhouses on Wooster avenue last week was damaged by fire to the extent of $2,000, the blaze origi- nating in an adjoining building.

The progressive retailer, ever on the lookout for ideas that will make his window displays out of the ordinary and therefore attractive and valuable, will appreciate the possibilities suggested by the accompanying illustrations of the Easter flower display at the Phipps Con- servatory, Schenley park, Pittsburgh, Pa. The display was called "The Springtime of Life," and proved an attraction that drew thousands of Pitts- burghers to the conservatory. J. W. Jones, foreman, discovered sev- eral years ago that it took more than an ordinary arrangement of flowers and plants to excite much interest in the conservatory among the people of Pitts- burgh. Consequently in making dis- plays for special days, such as Easter, he has conceived and executed novelties which have accomplished their purpose of bringing crowds, who, after they had arrived, were more delighted with the flowers than they realized they would be. Easter this year came only a few days before the opening of the baseball sea- son, so that sport was selected as the thing around which to build the dis- play. A miniature playing field, with grandstand and bleachers, was built. Dolls represented the players and spec- tators. No detail was omitted, even the small boy viewing the game through a knothole being present. On the tennis court outside the ball park, also, there was a game in progress, while nearby were three boys fishing in a basin con- taining goldfish. And around the whole, or nearly so, was arranged the flower and plant display. In speaking of the display, Mr. Jones declared it had eclipsed all his previous efforts, causing quite a sensation, not only among the children, but the grown- ups as well. The plants which formed the back- ground for the ball park were of the following varieties: Columbines, wis- taria. Azalea mollis Anthony Koster, Ehododendron Pink Pearl, Deutzia Lemoinei, lilacs, yellow marguerites, sweet peas, magnolias, nasturtiums, German iris and hydrangeas. Beds of Pelargonium Easter Greeting and Paul Crampel geraniums, bordered with arte- misia and shrubs, ornamented the fore- ground. Outdoor sports make a great appeal to the average American. Such a display as this, even on the much smaller scale necessary in a show window, would at- tract the attention of everyone who i^ a lover of sports. And the person who likes outdoor games is a person tempera- mentally fitted to like everything that pertains to the open, especially that which is beautiful. Aside from their beauty, the greatest appeal of flowers is the suggestion they make of nature at its best. Conse- quently lovers of nature, of the open — and there is no one who needs so much outdoor space as the baseball enthu- siast, be he fan or player — are all flower buyers in embryo. A window appealing to their greatest outdoor interest is bound to be impressive. ESSENTIALS OF HYBRIDIZATION. [Extracts from a paper by Floyd Bralllar, of Nashville, Tenn., read at the second annual con- vention of the Tennessee State Florists' Asso- ciation.] Where the object sought is to pro- duce in greater degree some character- istic already possessed by some indi- vidual plant, it should be carefully crossed with another plant of the same family that is as nearly like it as it is possible to find. Mendel, a monk who did a great deal of plant breeding, announced it as a law that where two parents are allowed to breed, one-fourth of the offspring will be like one parent and one-fourth like the other parent, and that seed from either of these fourths will come true to name and will be like the parent whose character it followed; that the remaining half of the offspring of such a union will partake of the character- istics of both parents in varying de- grees, and that it is among this half that we must look for improvements. In the second generation a certain fixed proportion of the seeds of these plants will revert to each of the original par- ents, but a portion of them will be like their own parent. By selection for a few generations, fewer and fewer of the seedlings will revert and the variety will become fixed. The announcing of this law has greatly lessened the labors of the breeder by telling him which of the offspring to throw away as being worthless to him. He no longer bothers with the half that is like one or the other of the original parents. An Experiment with Cannas. This law seems to be pretty generally operative where crosses are not too vio- lent, but where the parents are too widely different the law is by no means fixed. A concrete example of this method of procedure is before you. I have a canna with green foliage that bears flowers that are almost white. This canna has great vigor, a quality no other white canna possesses. I was desirous of producing two results. First I desired to produce a canna that would bear pure white flowers; secondly, I desired to produce a white canna with bronze foliage. Accordingly, a pink canna of equal size and vigor, with good bronze foliage, was selected. You see before you eight seedlings of this cross, using the white canna as the mother plant. Four of them have bronze foliage and four of them have green foliage. The other seeds failed to grow. Should these eight plants prove to be illustrative of all the results of such crosses, two of them should be white cannas like their mother, with green foliage; two of them should be pink cannas with bronze foliage, like their father; one should be a pink canna with green foliage, one 9 white canna with bronze foliage, and the other two should produce flowers that are of a lighter pink than their father but not so nearly white as their mother, while one should have bronze foliage and the other should have green foliage. A Problem in Probabilities. Unfortunately, all of the seed pro- duced by the cross did not grow, and these seedlings may not, in all proba- bility will not', follow this order. Most likely they will not produce any new variety at all, but half of them will be like each parent, or inferior to it.

Should one of these green-leaved seedlings prove to be identical, or ap- proximately so, with its white-flowered mother, and were I to cross it on the mother variety, the chance of produc- ing offspring that would be pure white and have green leaves would be greater than the chance from raising seedlings from either it or its mother, were they allowed to fertilize themselves. The Third and Fourtli Generaltion. There is one other fact that is not to be overlooked by those who are en- gaged in plant breeding and crossing. A certain per cent of the variations that are obtained by hybridization do not appear in the first generation. Most of the variations appear in the second generation, but a certain proportion, and often the most valuable ones, do not appear until the third generation, while a few come even later than this. I believe that where it is desired to transfer a required characteristic from one variety of plant to another of wide- ly different characteristics, while still retaining the good qualities of the lat- ter variety, it can be done more quickly and more surely by crossing one or both with one or more intermediate varieties, varieties that are truly in- termediate in character, and then cross- ing the resultant progeny, than by mak- ing the direct cross itself. The Price of Success. I have spent no time in this paper discussing the mode of producing hybrids, for I take it for granted that all members of this society are fully as well acquainted as I with this. Only experienefe-'aui^^^nstaking ohiljtvation will teach the operator when to trans- fer the pollen from one flower to another in order to make a successful cross in the more difficult varieties. And no one can explain why the same kind of pollen may be placed on the same kind of pistil a hundred times without being able to fertilize the ovule and so get seed, while the next time the operation is performed, under as nearly the same conditions as human skill can produce, the desired result may be secured. Other varieties cross so easily that it is diflQ.cult to fail. To be a successful hybridizer, one must be willing to pay the price, will- ing to grow hundreds of seedlings that are of no value in order to get one that is of value, and then, when the result is obtained, more often than otherwise he may see the results of his toil disap- pear by some accident, or pass into the hands of someone else who reaps all the financial profits of it. But the pure fun of the work is worth the effort, if no other reward is ever ob- tained. La Fayette, Ind.— Prof. C.

And aiouml the wholt>, or nearly so, was arranged the liower and plant display. In speaking of the display, ^Ir. Jones declared it had eclipsed all his jirevious tdforts, causing (juiti- a sensation, not only among the children, but the grown- ui)S as well. The ])lants which formeil the bacds- ground for tlie ball jjark Avcre of the following varieties: Columbines, wis- tari.a, Azalea mcdlis Anthony Koster, Khododendron I'ink I'earl, Deutzia Lemoinoi, lilacs, yellow marguerites, sweet ])eas, magnolias, nasturtiums, (iernian iris and hydrangeas. Beds of relargoniuiii Kaster (Jreeting and Paul Cramind geraniums, bordered with arte- misia and shrubs, ornamented the fore- ground. Outdoor sports make a great appeal to the average American. Such a liisplay as this, even on the much smaller scale necessary in a show window, would at- tract the attention of everyone who is a lover of sjiorts. And the person Avho likes outdoor games is a ])erson tem])era- mentally fitted to like everything that jiertains to the open, esj)ecially that which is beautiful. Aside from their beauty, the greatest ajipeal of llowers is the suggestion they make of nature at its best. Conse- (|uently lovers of nature, of the open — and there is no one who needs so much outdoor space as the baseball enthu- siast, be he fan or player — are all flower buyers in embryo. A window^ a]i]>ealing to tludr greatest outdoor interest is bound to be impressive. ESSENTIALS OF HYBRIDIZATION. fl'xtracts from a paper by Floyd Bralliar, of Nasliville, Tcmi., read at the second annual con- veiitiiin of the Tennessee Slate Florists' Asso- ciation.] Where the object sought is to pro- duce in greater degree some character- istic already possessed by some indi- vidual plant, it should be carefully crossed with another plant of the same family that is as nearly like it as it is possible to find. Mendel, a monk who did a great deal of plant breeding, announced it as a law that where two parents are allowed to breed, one-fourth of the offspring will be like one parent and one-fourth like the other parent, and that seed from either of these fourths will come true to name and will be like the parent whose character it followed; that the remaining half of the offspring of such a union will partake of the character- istics of both parents in varying de- grees, and that it is among this half that we must look for improvements. In the second generation a certain fixed proportion of the seeds of these plants will revert to each of the original par- ents, l)Ut a portion of them will be like their OAvn parent. By selection for a few generations, fewer and fewer of the seedlings will revert and the variety will become fixed. The announcing of this law has greatly lessened the labors of the breeder by telling him which of the offspring to throw away as being worthless to him. He no longer bothers with the half that is like one or the other of the original parents. An Experiment with Cannas. This law seems to be pretty generally o})erative where crosses are not too vio- lent, but where the jtarents are too widely different the law is by no means fixed. A concrete example of this method of procedure is before you. I have a canna with green foliage that bears floAvers that are almost white. This canna has great vigor, a quality no other Avhite canna possesses. I was desirous of producing tAvo results. First I desired to produce a canna that avouIcI bear pure Avhite floAvers; secondly, I desired to produce a Avhite canna Avith bronze foliage. Accordingly, a pink canna of equal size and vigor, Avith good bronze foliage, Avas selected. You see before you eight seedlings of this cross, using the white canna as the mother plant. Four of them liaA'e bronze foliage and four of them have green foliage. The other seeds failed to groAv. Should these eight plants prove to be illustrative of all the results of such crosses, two of them should be white cannas like their mother, witli green foliage; two of them should be pink cannas Avith bronze foliage, like their father; ono should be a pink canna with green foliage, one 9 Avhito canna with bronze foliage, and the other two should produce flowers that are of a lighter pink than their father but not so nearly white as their mother, while one should have bronze foliage and the other should have green foliage. A Problem in Probabilities, Unfortunately, all of the seed pro- duced by the cross did not grow, and these seedlings may not, in all proba- bility will not, follow this order. Most likely they will not produce any new variety at all, but half of them Avill be like each parent, or inferior to it.

The Florists^ Review 25 Display in Phipps Conservatory, Schenley Park, Pittsburgh, Pa., Which Affords a Suggestion to Window Trimmers. this is the method that is followed to secure results, and by raisinfj a nuil- titudo of seedlings of any cross one is likely sooner or later to secure the re- sult he is striving for. Should one of these green-leaved seedlings prove to be identical, or ap- proximately so, with its white-flowered mother, and were I to cross it on the mother variety, the chance of produc- ing offspring that would be pure white and have green leaves would be greater than the chance from raising seedlings from either it or its mother, were they allowed to fertilize themselves. The Third and Fourth Generation. There is one other fact that is not to be overlooked by those who are en- gaged in plant breeding and crossing. A certain per cent of the variations that are obtained by hybridization do not appear in the first generation. Most of the variations appear in the second generation, but a certain proportion, an lloricultiiral work at I'urdue University, has been c.'illcd to the i-oiors as lirst lieutenant of Held ••irtiilcry in ttie idlii-ers' reserve corps ;ind li;c< been unsigned to I'ort 1 ti'M jaiiiiii l!;i fiisoii, Ind.

The well-known and reliable method of trapping with scal- loped potatoes would mean a Herculean task with such a large area to cover, in addition to the expense and possible pro- liibition by the authorities; but, as one of the owners observed, "it is a des- perate case and calls for extraordinary efforts to meet it. " W. M. EARLY OUTDOOR MUMS. Kindly let me know through your valuable paper the earliest white, pink and yellow chrysanthemums for outdoor cultivation. Also let me know about what time. they bloom. I refer to the large-blooming varieties, of course. W. F. B.— Md. I presume you mean the strictly green- house varieties in early types. For these I would recommend Smith's Advance and Early Frost, white; Unaka and Pa- cific Supreme, pink; Comoleta and Mari- gold, yellow; Tint of Gold, bronze. These varieties come into flower during the first week of Octob.er. Marigold can- not always be depended on to come in this early and one cannot guarantee that the bud will set early enough. However, it is a fine variety and well worth a trial. There is another type of mums known as early flowering, which does splendidly in your section and which will come into flower earlier than the above-mentioned kinds. These would be: White, Dorothy, Cranford White and Petite Jean; pink, Normandie, Chas. Jolly and Hortense Malgat; yellow, Car- rie and Cranfordia. These are not so tall-growing as the average greenhouse varieties, but they are more hardy and will begin to flower earlier. With us they are in flower the last week of Sep- tember and continue to flower during the month of October. This early-flow- ering type is the kind we have been working to popularize for the last four or five years, and is just now coming into its own, particularly in sections where the earlier frosts are not too se- vere. Chas. H. Tottv. STOCK FROM FROZEN MUMS. I have several thousand chrysanthe- mum plants that were nipped by the cold, cut down, in fact; but no^ young growths have started at the roots of the old plants. Do you think these shoots will make good flowering plants by fall, or do you think they have been too severely stunted by the cold? I am situated in the southern part of Louisiana and grow my mums outdoors under canvas. But the winter was se- vere and my plants were not sufficiently protected. Do you think these root divisions will produce as good plants as sand-grown cuttings, or would it be better to buy a new batch of stock? I have been told that cheesecloth houses are splendid for growing mums and that Californian growers have found the method successful. What do you think about it? Last year I had some splendid white mums, but some of the buds turned brown and never developed. The good ones, however, were hard to beat. Now, I would like to know if it would be safe to use any plants developed from that stock. Any information will be appreciated. C. C. B.--— La. The shoots coming up around the base of the old plants will make ideal plants for flowering next fall. They are what we call ' ' sucker ' ' plants and are always taken whenever it is possible to secure them. There is no reason why root divi- sions should not be just as good as sand-grown cuttings, and if the varie- ties you have are satisfactory for your purpose there is no reason why you should buy others. Cheesecloth houses, as used in Cali- fornia, certainly produce results. There is no reason why you could not adapt them to your conditions. Buds turn brown instead of develop- ing when they are scorched by sun or rotted by moisture settling in the cen- ter of the bud. Plants propagated from this stock should be all right, as the trouble is not a hereditary disease. C. H. T. THE RED SPIDER. Please let me know at once how to get rid of red spider on the plants iu my greenhouse. I have tried various reme- dies, but without success. M. E. E.— Ind. AN ARMY OF SOWBUGS. The management of a large growing establishment in Illinois is waging war on legions of wood lice, or sowbugs, which are playing havoc with the stock in the holises to an extent that makes the proposition a serious one. Mixtures of Paris green and sugar and of Paris green and flour were liberally distrib- uted, and at first the bugs ate freely, as was evidenced by the hosts of skeletons lying around. Since that time, how- ever, not a dead one is seen, and the question arises as to whether there is animal instinct in a bug to avoid par- taking of the poison that killed its companions. There are two kinds of sowbugs in the house, one which rolls up in a ball when touched, and one whicli is slimmer Probably your methods in dealing with the red spider have been too gen- tle. There is only one way to handle this customer, roughly, without gloves. The red spider has no objection to most of the things that are considered un- comfortable by other animal inhabitants of the greenhouse. There is only one way to make him stop and back up. That way is to hit him right in the face, a hard blow with a drop of cold water. The less water and inore force, the less the spider will like it. The hose is the only thing to use, backed by the best pressure one can get. Be sure you hit the spider and not just the plants. F. E. ANOTHER PROOF OF PROGRESS. Progressiveness, modernity, these are the keynotes of the florists' business today. Old methods withdraw their hold of many years' standing and give way to new, and with advanced practices there comes also, as a natural con- comitant, modern stores and green- houses. The accompanying illustration shows the retail store and greenhouse of J. J. Kolar & Son, 5136 West Twenty- fifth street, Chicago, recently completed, which well typifies this pervasive spirit. As can be seen by the illustration, every- thing about the Kolar establishment smacks of progress. New EstabUshmeot of ], J. Kolar & Son in Outlying Chicago. Mai 10, 1917. The Florists^ Review 27 John V. Wickler. John V. Wickler, for many years en- gaged in the florists' business at Grand Forks, N. D., was killed last week by a train while he was walking on the tracks near his home, at Lyons, 111. Mr. Wickler was hard of hearing and it is believed that he did not hear the train approaching from the back. Death was instantaneous. Mr. Wickler was born in Illinois, September 4, 1858. He is survived by two daughters and a son, Fred B. Wickler. James Stredwick. The many American business ac- quaintances, as well as the considerable number of personal friends, of James Stredwick will learn with regret of his death at Silverdale Nurseries, St. Leonards, England. Mr, Stredwick was one of the most successful of latter-day raisers of new dahlias and also was widely known for his chrysanthemum seedlings. James Hassett. James Hassett, proprietor of the Dav- enport Nursery and widely known among the trade in Iowa, died Thursday, May 3, at the Mercy hospital, Daven- port. He leaves a widow and five chil- dren. The members of the Tri-City Flo- rists' Club attended the funeral in a body. W. G. CINCINNATI. The Market. The market is rather short on flowers and the prospects for a large supply at Mothers' day are none too bright. The demand from out of town is heavy. Ee- ceipts of roses and carnations are smaller. Cloudy weather at the end of last week and the first part of this week did not serve to relieve this condition. Easter lilies are in good supply. A good cut of sweet peas is arriving and peonies are becoming more plentiful. They are from the south. A few lilacs may be had. Other offerings include snapdragons, callas, irises, valley, gladi- oli and marguerites. New southern ferns are in the market. Other greens are plentiful. Various Notes. C. E. Critchell last week received tlie first of his new ferns from the south. The William Murphy Co. had a larger number of advance orders than ever before for Mothers' da v. The R. G. Kootz Floral Co. is in re ceivership, in a suit to settle ])artncr- ship affairs. The Cincinnati Cut Flower Exchange has been getting in some excellent southern peonies.

News' from roQ! London, England. — The government liHs granted ])ermission for the mailing, without request, of catalogues begun be- fore tlie restrictive order issued here March 3. Genoa, Italy.— The minister of agri- culture has announced his intention of establishing in the chief cities of Italy large model nurseries for the production of herbaceous plants. The government will grant subsidies to cover the ex- penses of these establishments. Calcutta, India. — The British govern- ment has increased the quantity of bur- lap requisitioned for shipment from Cal- cutta during May and June from 50,000,- 000 yards each month to 65,000,000. This is an increase of thirty per cent. It has had a bullish effect on the market. Wiesbaden, Germany. — Ferd. Fischer, the well-known cyclamen seed specialist, wrote January 25, the letter being posted in Norway, intercepted by the British censor and delivered to the addressee in America May 7: "Many of my old customers may have ordered last spring, but I did not receive their letters or money, nothing at all in 1916; nor any money for deliveries in 1915." London, England. — It is pointed out to carnation growers that, for those who were able to maintain their production, "flowers fetched record prices over a longer period during the season coming to a close, than ever before, and it does not need a prophet to point out that they will be scarcer still for next winter. Less labor and people concentrating on other things is bound to have this effect." The Hague, Holland.— In 1915, 126,- 000 acres, or two per cent of Holland's superficial area, was devoted to garden- ing and 20,900 acrdE, or three-tenths of one per cent, to flowers and bulbs, out of a total of 2,325,000 acres (thirty-eight per cent) of arable land. August 16, 1916, a law was passed empowering the government to restrict or prohibit the planting of crops not useful for feeding human beings and animals and there- fore the government has made several regulations calculated to increase the food-producing capacity of the land and at the same time to discourage the culti- vation of crops whose acreage has been increasing under the stimulation of high export prices. The cultivation of sev- eral kinds of crops will be restricted to the average acreage employed for those crops during 1913, 1914 and 1915. Other crops, which are principally used for ex- port, will be reduced to seventy or eighty per cent of the 1913 to 1915 fig- ures. It is estimated that a total of 100,000 acres will thus be released for the production of crops for home con- sumption. The importance of this addi- tion to Holland's food-producing acre- age may be realized when it is noted that its entire area devoted to winter wheat in 1916 was 124,000 acres. In connec- tion with the different schemes calcu- lated to increase the food output of Dutch soil, it has beeA repeatedly stated by the Minister of Agriculture, Indus- try and Commerce that it will be the government's policy to discourage the raising of export crops by the interposi- tion of export prohibitions and to en- courage home crops by a system of liigher maximum prices. ^llllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllililllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllB I MOTT-LY MUSINGS f Tiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiimi?

The Reriew brings results. Why not a posterette campaign ' ' Wear a Flower on the Fourth" this year? Steel prices were given another large and, apparently, arbitrary boost last "week. If you can use a bargain in greenhouse property, keep an eye on the For Sale ads in The Review and you will find just the place to suit you. There are localities in which $1.50 is the established retail price for a dozen geranium plants, but this year it won't supply the florist's family with food and fuel. The price should be not less than $2. One of the principal sources of supply for glass and paint for greenhouse use makes the following statement of the present situation : ' ' There is no doubt that the present high price of linseed oil, together with that of white lead, is having more or less of a retarding effect on the buying of paint. The demand for glass, however, seems to be pretty good ; in fact, lousiness has been beyond expectations. Our principal trouble this year is in get- ting the material in greenhouse sizes; we are not worrying about orders. ' ' Says a Rod Cross worker: "German guns were pounding Verdun last summer when I went to that stricken city with the consent of the French government. When I reached Verdun, it was the first day of tlie annual sweet pea festival, and with little attention to the German shells, tlie people were paying tribute to their beautiful flowers. Even the soldiers had entries." The United Stttes isii^vieral thousaf^ i^\e& r(|«ove||| . f rom tHi Nrar^ zone — a cheering note^o those of the re- tailers who are pessimistic as to the prob- able effects of the war on the business. Good 4-inch geraniums are worth 10 cents this spring and the time-honored standard price of 8 cents would better go into the limbo of forgotten things. Everybody knows f. o. b. and c. w. o. soon may be equally familiar in this trade, as there is a continually strengthening demand for prompt settlements in this as in most other lines of business. The flower show planned for Pitts- burgh, June 13 to 16, under the auspices of the Garden Club of Allegheny County, with Arthur Herrington as manager, has been abandoned because the United States has gone to war. The grower who first advanced the price of grafted rose plants had no cause to regret his self-reliance ; those who grow good stock promptly followed and they have all cleaned up in as good shape as would have been likely at the old rates. HAVE YOU A SXTRPLUS? Look over the Classified ads in The Review. If you have a surplus of some item not offered there, quick cash' can be had for it. Like this: You may discontinue my canna ad. One in- sertion really was too much for me. It would look as though no one else in the country had any oannas. — Floyd Bralliar, Madison, Tenn., May 7, 1917. When you hear a man complain of the cost of advertising you can be pretty certain that he spends a good bit of money elsewhere than in The Review. IF FIRST YOU DON'T SUCCEED. ' ' Collections are slow. ' ' One hears it times without number, but in certain quarters no complaints of this nature ever are made and it leads to the con- clusion that the reason collections are slow with most florists is that sufficient effort to get the money is not made. Only a small minority of those in the business make a prearranged, continuous effort to collect the accounts on their books. In many cases even the mailing of statements is an irregular matter, and, with the mailing, effort ceases. No attempt is made to follow up the debtor with a request for the payment of the neglected account, and a repetition of the request as it becomes necessary. With a small amount of system in any part of the business, there is none at all in the matter of collections. As the florists' business grows it will become increasingly important for each florist to organize the method by which he secures the money due him. With a business of even moderate size a florist's purchases aggregate so large a sum that the men from whom he buys cannot take the risk involved in long credits; bills must be paid monthly or one cannot buy for long in the same place and the best sources of supply soon are closed. To maintain his own prompt payments the florist must take steps to make collec- tions from those to whom he sells. There are not many florists who do not pay if they have the money; the trouble is they are poor collectors. Nowhere in business is it better to apply the motto, "If at first you don't succeed, try, try agairi." A BLESSING IN DISGUISE? It is believed by many in the trade tj^t the"' national propaganda for in- creased production of vegetables will result iri a curtailment of bedding plant sales; but may not this intensified activ- ity in gardening, this vast multiplica- tion of gardens, carry with it such a demand for florists ' plants that the shoe will be on the other foot? In some sec- tions there may be a falling off in bed- ding plant sales, but as a whole the "back-to-the-land" spree is likely to make for a wholesale education of the public in garden-making and thereby produce a larger use of plants. Perhaps the retailer with a large quantity of bedding plants may have to turn part- time wholesaler, for the sake of dis- tribution. Subjoined is an interesting editorial clipped from a small-town newspaper, which may be found suitable, as copy for the back of a retail plant circular, letter or postcard: WE NEED FLOWERS In all this enthusiasm about raising potatoes and turnips and cabbage — and may it increase — we should not entirely overlooli the need of flowers. There's abundance of room for the potato crop and the cabbage without giving up the flowery window box to the rambling cucumber vine and the geranium bed to the wandering squash. Tliere is nothing else so restful for tired nerves as a little stroll among the beauty and fragrance of flowers. They give a source of pleasure and refinement that nothing else can supply. They serve a purpose quite as useful and necessary as those things that are commonly given a higher utilitarian value. What would spring and summer be if there were no flowers to hide the uglier places and to sweeten the air with fragrance? Yes, we need flowers. And there will be time and opportunity to grow tliem without slighting the potato and the cabbage. If we do our duty, the rain and sunshine will cause old mother earth to produce food and fragrance enough for all. Let us have potatoes, cabbage and flowers. WHAT DO YOU THINK? Almost as soon as Mothers' day be- came an established annual event there was call for a Fathers' day. To many people it seemed that a Fathers' day, following on the heels of Mothers' day, would be more or less of a joke and that it would react, destroying the sentiment that is the appeal of Mothers' day. It has been the opinion of The Review that any attempt on our part to develop a Fathers' day would be at the expense of Mothers' day, especially as there seemed no indication of an inclination to stop with the parents; special days for uncles and aunts, everybody but mother-in-law, seemed a natural consequence. But Fathers' day does not down. There is a Fathers' Day Association, of which Mrs. John Bruce Dodd, of Spo- kane, Wash., who says she is the Anna Jarvis of Fathers' day, is president. This association designates June 17 as the special day in father's honor and the method of observance is to wear a rose, white for father gone before, etc.! The Fathers' Day Association states that it has branches all over the country and has invited the interests which this' season have been booming Mothers' day to do as much for Fathers' day. It may be the trade is overlooking an opportunity by not lining up back of father and giving his day a push. The Review has thought otherwise, but opin- ions from the trade will be welcome. CHICAGO. The Market. Business, both shipping and local, was good last week, with a tendency tow^ard higher prices manifest. The dark, cold weather has made for a shortening of crops, and by May 3 a distinct shortage of stock began to make itself felt and it bfecame necessary for wholesalers for the most part to cut down on orders, giv- ing to each customer a fair proportion May 10, 1917.

Advance orders for Mothers' day came in heavily all week, and indications are that it will be a banner day this year. One good feature of the business lies in the fact that the demand is for all kinds of flowers this year, instead of being confined to carnations alone, as it has been for the most part in previous years. The present outlook is that stock of all kinds will be scarce. American Beauties were a scarce item last week, and prices held firmly to quo- tation figures. Other varieties of roses were in short supply, with a good de- mand moving stock easily. If any preference at all was noticed, it was for white stock, especially on the shorter grades. Eussell is in larger supply than any other rose with some wholesalers, and the quality is excellent. Needless to say, it sells well. The shortage of carnations last week was acute, and stiff prices prevailed. There is no question but what this item will be short for Mothers' day. Easter lilies and callas shortened up considerably last week, with a more active demand in evidence. Sweet peas also were short and cleaned up well at good prices. The first spring blooming stock made its appearance last week. Calendulas, though not so active as other items, moved fairly well, better than they have in some time. Spanish iris was scarce, with a good demand easily clean- ing up all stock that arrived on the mar- ket. Bulbous stock sold considerably better last week, especially jonquils and daffodils, tulips following at a little slower pace. The supply arriving on the market is not large, the season being almost over. Darwins now are the prin- cipal item and hold their popularity. Daisies were in fair supply, but cleared easily. Pansies, although in fairly ample supply, moved well at good prices. Snap- dragons also enjoyed a fair degree of popularity and sold easily. Southern grown peonies are beginning to arrive in fair quantities and are finding a warm reception from an eager market. There is a good call for greens, fancy flat ferns of good quality being one of the scarce items. Various Notes. August Poehlmann, who was seriously ill last week, is reported to be on the way to recovery. He is at the Lake View hospital. Believing that Dame Fortune is most successfully wooed by one who puts up a good front, Henry C. Dunn has in- vested a tidy sum in a well appointed ^^CY JO^^ <$► WHOLESALE commi«»iow FLORISTS CHICAGO store on North State street, near Chicago avenue, his first venture under his own name, the culmination of many years of experience in the retail field. Mr. Dunn intimates that his siege of pros- perity and patronage may see the pass- ing of several moons, but that as a besieger he has a full oquipnient, in- cluding patience, aggressiveness and standing. The season of 1917-18 will be the last at Hinsdale for Bassett & Washburn. At the close of next season all the glass re- maining there will be removed to the new place at Greggs Station. W. J. Smyth comments that his store turned out eleven high-priced casket covers during April, but he adds regret- fully that May is not promising to equal the record. Early in June Walter Adams hopes to be located at the southeast corner of North State and Division streets.

Since Fleischman gave it up it has been used by a milliner, the con- servatory in the rear having been cleared of benches and piping and made into a workroom. The entire place required a thorough renovation and redecoration, which is now in progress. It is one of the best corners on the north side, and Mr. Adams, who has the capable assist- ance of Mrs. Adams as saleslady, expects to double his business there. It will be quite a florists' neighborhood: The Jegen store is in the same block, with E. Wien- hoeber just around the corner on the next street south. Many growers noted that last season they obtained their best prices for pom- pon mums either early or late, low prices prevailing while the season was at its height. B. Scheflfler, at Wheaton, had a new yellow variety that he did not begin to cut until December 10. It made him the best prices of the season, and this year he intends to plant a whole house of it. He knows it as Golden Wed- ding. The members of the firm of French & Salm were down from Union Grove, Wis., May 7. The plan to add to the range there has been abandoned, at least for the present, but it is reported other plans for branching out are under considera- tion. April 30 was the biggest day of the season with the E. Wienhoeber Co. In addition to the regular business, there was the family order for the Isham funeral, one of the largest the north side old residential section has seen. A. Miller, of the American Bulb Co., has returned from a business trip of ten days, through Michigan, Ohio and In- diana. As indicating the popularity of Darwin tulips, he booked one order for 150,000 Darwins for delivery this fall. The mail of May 7 was much the largest since April 2, reports the E. C. Amling Co., and insured a satisfactory volume of shipping for Mothers' day. The demolition of the old building at the southeast corner of Wabash avenue and Monroe street has caused Harry C. Eowe to form an association with the Bohannon Floral Co. It was foreknowl- edge of the wrecking of this building that caused L. E. Bohannon to move some months ago to 75 East Monroe street, where he now has^ one of the handsomest stores in the city. Mr. Eowe's name also appears on the window.

Flowers are essential at nuptials, large balls, in the sick rooms, etc." Florists Must Be Bookkeepers. Yes, the florists' business will prosper, despite the war, but it will be a changed business. With prices of all supplies advanced at least fifty per cent, and with production costs going higher and higher, good management is going to count for more, for success or failure. Said Mrs. Hill: "My advice to the man whose system of bookkeeping has not his overhead expenses figured down to the penny, is to make a change in his methods. My opinion is that every florist should find out exactly what it costs him to do business, what his stock costs him, and then adjust his selling prices accordingly." I believe that there is going to be just as much business as there ever was, but that everything is going to be done on a closer margin than some florists are accustomed to. The florist who elimi- nates the weak spots and the leaks is bound to come through in fine form. Tate. PHILADELPHIA. , The Market. The long continued spell of cool, cloudy weather has had its effect. Flow- ers have shortened surprisingly, notably carnations. Instead of an accumulation of carnations for Mothers' day, a normal condition, there is practically nothing ahead. The cut has been reduced to less than one-half of that of a fortnight ago. The effect has been to advance the price of carnations on a dull market. Eoses have also shortened in supply and firmed in price. There are not nearly so many good roses now, a usual result of over- production and consequent low prices. BERGER BROS.

Beauties, Eussell and Double White Kil- larney are perhaps the best varieties at present. The best flowers bring excel- lent prices. It is always rather risky to talk about a short supply of flowers in the middle of May, because a single hot, sunny day might completely alter conditions. Out- door lilac is ready to come in at a moment's notice. Darwin tulips will fol- low. Daffodils are extremely plentiful — the flowers cheaper than the bulbs. The changes in the other flowers are unim- portant. Larkspur is prized; snap- dragon is getting poor. Sweet peas are in oversupply. Callas are nearing the close of the season. Easter lilies have been overplentiful, but are now more nearly equal to the demand. Spanish iris continues an important flower. Taken all in all, the market is in re- markably good condition for the second week in May. General Jofifre. Tuesday, May 8, was an important day in Philadelphia. The French envoys spent the day here.

There was a handsome decoration in the ballroom of the Bellevue-Stratford for the dinner on the evening following the patriotic demonstration in Inde- pendence Square. While plants and flowers were freely used, the silken colors of France and the United States were most prominent. There was an immense American flag covering the entire back- ground of the stage. It was bordered by handsome palms and ferns. The boxes were festooned with red, white and blue, while flags fluttered in a breeze elec- trically fanned from the background. Another background of plants, extremely handsome ones, was arranged for the large receiving party. Red, white and blue flowers graced the center table. The red American Beauties, the white lilies of France and the lovely blue Del- phinium Belladonna combined beauti- fully. The other tables were handsomely decorated with a choice assortment of flowers. The decoration was arranged by J. J. Habermehl's Sons. Getting It Done. The difficulty in the way of getting things done today is so great that the two following stories are told to show how the big guns meet emergencies. They suggest the idea that there ought always to be a way out. , J. D. Eisele, vice-president of Henry A. Dreer, Inc., says that for a couple of years all Dreer 's small ferns have been transferred from the seed boxes to flats by girls. The men fill the flats with THE PHILADELPHIA WHOLESALE FLORISTS' EXCHANQE Roses, Easter Lilies, Callas, Carnations and all Sea- sonable Cut Flowers. Special price on large Quantities.

This work keeps a force of a dozen girls busy the greater part of a year. Robert A. Craig says that the Robert Craig Co. required an extra force to fill the orders at Easter. A high school boy who applied for work suggested that some of the boys would be glad to help and proposed putting a notice to that effect in the school paper. The result was that nearly 500 applied to Mr. Craig for work, completely swamping liim. A dozen were cliosen. Tliey proved most satisfactory, putting an amount of snap into their work that was encouraging. The May Meeting. TTnusual efforts had been made to in- duce the retailers to attend the May meeting of the Florists' Club to hear the vice-president of the Fourth Street National Bank explain how accounts should be . kept and credits regulated. A glance over the well filled room showed that these efforts had failed. There were a few retailers there, but they were mostly men who are on the alert and come anyhow. The rank and file were absent. They were tired, or sleepy, or it was not worth their while bothering about the most important address, from a business standpoint, that the club lias fathered. Tliere was one notable exception^ .lolin r. Ilabermelil was there. An object lesson, was it not? The man who has four stores and an immense decorating busi- ness to look after could not afford to miss this talk. He knew. W. v. Tlierkildson, wlio intriidiiccd tlie speaker, said that tlie failures among florists were more numerous than the failures in any other line of business. He attributed tliis to the lack of system among florists. The speaker dwelt at lengtli on tlie imjiortance of knowing just what things cost; that is, adding the overhead charges of rent, telejihone, ice, bookkeeping, delivery, etc., in proper proportion to the cost of the material sold. This exact knowledge jirevented selling stock below cost, assured a fair profit on sales and led to careful, sys- tematic collection of accounts. 42 The Florists^ Review Max 10, 1917.

The Literary Digest contains a full- page advertisement of Mothers' day, in- serted by the Florists' Telegraph Deliv- ery Association. One of our leading growers states that his bill for coal at the mines will be $5,200 greater for the coming season than it was last year. E. O. King is with the aviation corps in England. M. J. Callahan reports activity in cut flowers, notably in funeral designs, with outdoor plant orders retarded by the cool weather. Alvah E. Jones has the deep sympathy of his many friends in the loss of his father. H. Herzberg, father-in-law of B. Esch- ner, died last week at the ripe age of 85. Mr. Herzberg was known as the "grand old man" of Cheltenham, Eugene Bernheimer is happily recov- ering from illness. Alfred M.

The last week did not come up to the promise of life and improvement indi- cated by the good Saturday of the pre- ceding week. Unseasonably cold weath- er, which was accompanied by rain, and lighter arrivals of roses and carnations added to the depression. In New York the temperature fell to near the freez- ing point. Carnations grew firmer as the week closed and Saturday, May 5, the best were selling at $4 per hundred, with in- dications of a considerable advance in the price of the white varieties for Mothers' day. Most of the carnations reaching the local market are of excel- lent quality. The hope is that growers will refrain from pickling for Mothers' day.

Good American Beauty roses again went to 35 cents, as the supply of first- class flowers of this variety was exceed- ingly limited. The supply of Hadleys, Brunners, Prima Donnas, Bussells, Stanleys and Mocks was not in excess of the demand from the first-class houses. In the lower grades and short-stemmed roses, sales were made as low as from $10 to $15 per thousand. May 10, 1917.

The average for good cattleyas was $5 per dozen, while a few select blooms reached 50 and 60 cents Saturday. The poorer grades fell to 25 cents and under. Valley maintains its strength and the small supply ac- counts for it. Select flowers were held at $8 per hundred. The arrivals of longiflorum lilies are in excess of requirements and $4 per hun- dred was the general quotation. A few of the large and long-stemmed flowers sold for $5 and $6 per hundred. The price of gardenias grows with their scarcity. The chilly weather seems to have ex- tended far enough south to delay lilac shipments. While they were due to leave in April, daffodils still are with us. The quality of the flowers is excel- lent. Violets are through, but sweet peas are still in excess of the demand. The same may be said of callas, snap- dragons, daisies and pansies. Tulips, also, have been wasted because of poor quality, the Darwins only being called for. The fern supply is large. One of the supply houses ships more than two millions monthly. Various Notes. The Horticultural Society of New Rustic Hanging Baskets NATURAL GROWTH CYPRESS Larger Route A, SANFORD, FU.

On sev- eral days maximum temperatures have not reached 40 degrees and "snow show- ers ' ' have been frequent. There has been no special improvement in the demand, but it is pleasing to note a decided ad- vance in prices and a satisfactory clean- up all around. Eoses are doing much better.

More thought of the flowers, little thought of the hose that must carry the nourishment to them. And that little thought, if you please, is usually one of discouragement Dis- couragement in hose failure to meet greenhouse service requirements. No man can tell how long hose will last by simply looking at it. You must either test the hose yourself or accept the word of the dealer. You can be doubly sure of Goodyear Wingfoot Hose. Sure in the first place, because Wing- foot Hose is guaranteed against bursting, for two whole seasons. Sure secondly, because Wingfoot is the best lawn hose made by The Goodyear Tire & Rubber Company. Such a name coupled to such a guar- antee makes your future hose purchase a simple matter. And it makes your future hose satisfaction permanent. Let your own supply dealer send you a reel of Goodyear Wingfoot Hose. He is as enthusiastic as we in this better last- ing hose. That is the reason he is will- ing to make less profit on Wingfoot than he could make on several other brands which cost him less to buy.

May, for at least the first week, has rather belied its reputation for geniality. We have had dark, damp and cold weather, and a little north of us snow- falls have been quite heavy. The season is fully a fortnight late. Even f orsythias are barely in bloom and, except for Dirca palustris. Benzoin sestivale, amelan- chiers, Erica carnea and one or two daphnes and small rhododendrons, there are no shrubs in flower. Magnolias are not yet fully open, and no bedding tulips are open except in warm locations. Anderson Bros., of Woburn, are send- ing in some fine Peach Blossom gladioli, calendulas, callas, sweet peas and candy- tuft. Welch's, at 280 Devonshire street, re- port a decided shortening up of flower receipts and active business. They have many advance orders booked for Moth- ers' day and Memorial day. Local nurseries report heavy cancella- tions of planting contracts and a decided slump in business, presumably attrib- utable to the war. W. N. C. TO EEADICATE LAWN WEEDS. I have just taken charge of a private place on which the lawns are extremely weedy, having as much chickweed, shep- herd's purse, etc., as Bermuda and ever- green grass. Will you please advise me how to proceed to get the lawns in good order? I could plow the land and resow the grass, but this would not rid me of the weed seeds. The lawns slope, so that the drainage should be all right. W. A. H.— Ga. It would not improve matters to plow and at once reseed your lawns. Two courses could be adopted to clean the land. Plow it and leave it fallow for a season, constantly stirring the soil until time for reseeding in the fall. Another and a better plan would be to plow the lawns now and sow them with a heavy cover crop, such as cow peas or soy beans. These crops would smother the weeds. They could be plowed in and thus leave a lot of humus in the soil. Harrow the soil well after plowing, keep it stirred at intervals and seed down your lawn in September. You would then be fairly certain to have a clean lawn. C. W.

A busy man is always late with cour- tesies, and so I am late with an answer to an open letter printed in a recent issue of The Review. A gentleman whom I do not know and whom I did not know about aa being connected with the flower busi- ness wrote me. I consider his letter a "punch" — not a "punch" to put me to sleep, but a "punch" to wake me up, to make me try to do better than I have previously. And for this * * punch- ing" of me into condition I want to thank him openly. It is rather hard for me to thank Mr. Hastings for the good opinion he has of my little effort to make up for a seeming neglect, but it sometimes happens, as with every business man, that I once in a while put things off from time to time, and when I do get a chance to attend to them I always try to give those con- cerned a clear view of the facts which prevented me from doing what I should have done. We all have faults, and I believe that our largest one in life is that we think of our incomes in a wrong way. Even our employees, and we, who have our own business^ when we were employed by others, in our expressions we were exactly as in our thoughts. We spoke of our earnings as "We make so and so much." This is not only a wrong ex- pression, but also an entirely wrong thought. We should consider our work, think and express ourselves in this manner: "Is our work in keep- ing with our earnings?" Then, again, we should not think, "Is our work much better than our earnings war- rant?" but just the contrary, "Is our work good enough in comparison with what we earn?" In this Way we will begin to train our thoughts and con- sider our work first — "Is it worth our earnings?" Without wanting to, we will do better, and the earnings will be improved without further efforts on CLEYELANB ••• THE. J. N.

The worker's salary, if he works for a fair employer, is automat- ically increased. There is no need of fighting for it. The employer increases his clientele by his good work and good services, and so it is in the matter of Mr, Hastings' request regarding the valentine novel- ties. Through my seeming neglect or in- attention— I do not remember exactly how it happened — his letter was not an- swered. One of my men wrote a letter to him, but on seeing it, the first thing I did was to tear it in half. My thoughts were: "Is that the best we can do?" I then wrote a letter myself, to make good this disappointment. New thoughts came: "The man wrote you because he wanted to entrust you with something — which possibly you only could give liim. Ho must feel badly over it; someone else, a third party, has been deprived of a pleasure. The only thing fair would be to replace that pleasure." I tried to do this, to replace this pleasure, and did not expect any thanks. Regardless of the fact that I have done such things several times before, I never did get more than a simple ac- knowledgment and never received any reward for such work. However, I never became discouraged. If I do something nice for any of my people, usually they just take it as a matter of fact, and Worcester, Hass.

MULHAUSIR & SON, Florists most of them are ready to accept more than they give. The letter of Mr. Hastings proves that there are some fair-minded men among us, who repay better for good. Of the many letters written to me or about me, I rarely have had so much pleasure as when, on a busy day, one of my friends read Mr. Hastings' letter to me over the telephone. While I had The Florists' Eeview on my desk, I was too busy to read it. It is possible that I would not have had the pleasure for two or three days later, when sitting all by myself in the train on my way home. Plain, simple-minded gardeners, some of them associated with me for many years, busi- ness men of highest standing, connected directly or indirectly with the florists' business, old employees of other houses, who have known me since I started in business, called days and weeks after- ward and remarked, "There is a man just as good as you, who never forgets a good turn — this man Hastings." Max Schling. PUSH PADS PROFITS. An Age of Progress. This is an age of progress, an age when, as never before, the florists must make progress, or their race toward suc- cess will be lost. The florist who is the most progressive easily is the one who gets the most business. He is the lead- ing character in the play. His compet- itors may have talent, but they aft not much noticed on account of the minor parts they play.

Methods of selling flowers are constantly changing, just as methods of growing them are changing. The progressive flo- rist who ten years ago thought his meth- ods perfect, now has long since discarded them. So if one would succeed in this great business, one must be progressive, make progress and be up-to-date in all things. Everybody knows it is the florist with energy and ambition to push who re- ceives the business. The florist can hardly expect to have other people in- crease his business if he himself does not show enough interest to reach for bigger profits. The fellow who stands at the door of his store waiting to open it for a customer, or who listens for the ring of the telephone, certainly cannot be classed with the florist who spends his spare time thinking up an effective ad- vertisement or ransacking the market for something extraordinary to place in his window. This is an age when the buying public is more independent than ever before. The public must be constantly kept . . .

It is up to the florist to go out and get it. Advertising the Big Aid. Advertising is one of the most ef- fective and most employed methods of increasing a business. There still are a few business men who are skeptical about advertising, yet by looking over the volume of business they do and over that done by competitors who advertise, it is not hard to see which of the two classes is working along the right line. If it pays the large corporations to spend fortunes every year on advertising it certainly will pay the florist, no matter how small his place. Newspaper advertising perhaps is the method usually employed. Nearly any- one can write out a list of the stock he wants to sell and the prices thereof. While this is better than no advertising at all, it is far from the most effective. If good advertisements were as easy to write as some think they are, the large department stores certainly would not pay their advertising managers high salaries. If Jones, the florist, does not keep his name and his business before the public, half of the people will not know whether Jones is a florist, undertaker or coal dealer.

Advertising Good and Bad. Where there are several florists in one city, and all have good service and good stock to offer at the right prices, then the florist who employs advertising most effectively is the one who makes prog- ress. For instajice, if Jones carries an ad in the papers a good part of the time, letting the people know that he sella flowers, soon his name will begin to be associated witli flowers. Then when peo- ple want flowers, they will immediately think of Jones. He will receive the business, while liis competitors, who sell the same quality and service, in the end will lose out. The advertising should be seasonable and the advertisement changed often, as ])eople tire of seeing the same ad all the time. Just before Christmas I noticed a florist's advertisement in one of the leading papers of his city. Tliis paper has a sort of trade directory, in which each line of business in the city is rep- resented. Under "C" I noticed an ad- vertisement which reads something like this: "Cut flowers, highest quality, ar- tistically arranged for weddings, funer- als and social functions; also a full line of clioice bedding plants at reasonable prices, ' ' and so on, giving the name, ad- dress and telephone number.

GOETZ SONS SAGINAW, MICH. or any City in Michisan florists for hundreds of miles around as a dead flower town? A good, progressive florist with push and business insight could change all that and make the other florists sit up and take notice. This Town a Sleepy Hollow. An aggressive florist hardly cares to locate in that town on account of the low price of flowers, considering the size of the town, which is about 25,000. A couple of the florists sell carnations at 75 cents per dozen, but any quantity of them can be bought for 50 cents per dozen, and then seventeen or eighteen blooms are given as a dozen. That makes the actual price of the carnations about 35 cents per dozen, and they are fine carnations. It seems to be another case of unclean competition. No doubt the florist who advertised bedding plants at Christmas would have been greatly surprised if someone had called him up and told him to set out some flower beds and fill some porch boxes. This florist probably would have to use dynamite to break loose the frozen soil. Ordering bedding plants at that unseasonable time of the year surely could be no worse than advertis- ing them. This florist made no mention of Christmas plants or flowers, and doubtless the public thought he bad none. Christmas is no time to advertise bedding plants, and if anyone does so he is wasting space, and newspaper space is valuable. The idea is to push the right stock at the right time, but always keep pushing something. Then KANSAS CITY, ...MISSOURI... WILLIAM L. ROCK FLOWER COMPANY Members Florists* Telegraph Delivery Ass'n.

The successful window should appeal strongly enough to make people "come buy instead of go by." As in everj'thing else, there arc good displays and poor ones; but oven the poor ones do some good. A vase or two of cut flowers and a few plants will lot the passers-by know that there is a flower store. The progressive florist, however, does more than this; he makes his window one of his sales force. Many a florist considers a display too costly, but if he would think of his window as a salesman, and spend as much on it as he would on his best salesman, he no doubt would be well satisfied with the results. Good advertising and good window displays are absolutely essential to pro- gressiveness, but the florist should re- Members of Florists' Telegraph Delivery Ass'ii Send all MARYLAND orders to SAMUEL FEAST S SONS S.

If a customer gets ** stung" once, even if it were an unavoidable error, it is doubtful if that customer will ever come back. If, however, the stock is right, and Mrs. Brown finds that your roses last a whole week, she will tell her friends about the wonder- ful roses she got from you. That is the reward of selling good stock, and you get a class of advertising free that is better and more effective than any other. Any florist can say he has good stock, but when people praise it, then the talk is worth something. This is the kind of talk that sends buyers to the store to buy. Keeping the Customei^. After the florist has .served the buyer the first time and the stock and service have been right, then in all probability the buyer will buy from the same florist the next time. After the florist has served the new customer two or three times satisfactorily, buying from him becomes the customer's habit. If he loses this customer, then it is his fault. He either has sent poor stock, given poor service or sent the customer to a competitor because he could not supply the stock wanted. After this customer has purchased from the competitor a few times, then buying from the com- petitor will become a habit. It would take a strong appeal to bring that buyer back. If a florist wants steady customers, his aim should be to keep them satis- fied. The florist should not be too in- dependent. He should remember that he is serving the public. He should not think that people have to buy from him or have to take the stock he offers. One finds that the florist who is too in- dependent usually does not make much progress.

That also sends new customers. A Little Al)out Service. The florist who would pad his profits must also give good service. He must have help enough to get all orders out on time. He must have an efficient de- livery system. Many times when flow- ers are delivered late, they practically are of no use to the customer, and the customer probably would rather have received poorer stock on time than the best stock too late. The florist who has the facilities to take care of his deliv- eries properly is bound to become busy, because people have begun to depend on him to get the flowers out on time. It is far better for a florist to turn down an order that be knows he cannot de- liver on time, than to lose the custom- er's confidence. The florist should carry out every promise to the letter, unless it is absolutely impossible to do so. The rule should be, make few prom- ises and keep those made. If a florist promises everybody and does not keep liis promises, his word soon will not be worth a farthing. If the florist would pad his profits, these are some of the things he should roitieniber: 1. Push his business on every occa- sion. 2. Back up the push with the right s'^ock, in variety. o. Give good service and get every- thing out on time. Treat your customers right and they will come back for more; you will not have to worry about competition. George H. Raasch.

Kendel, OleyeUnd, O. Thlrty-flfth annual conyentlon. Detroit, Juna 19 to 21, 1917. This is proving the record year for the houses that put out the box seeds. With tlie market on onion sets cleaned iij), onion seed is now in strong demand. The spring weather has been the worst the English, French and Dutch seed grow- ers ever have experienced, cold and wet. One of the results of the war is a sur- plus of tuberose bulbs. The usually large exports were not made from the 1916 crop. Cable advices from Eotterdani inform a New York house that shipments of gladiolus bulbs recently have gone for- ward via Scandinavian ports. Eeports from rural districts indicate that country merchants are rapidly clean- ing up their stock. The nation-wide pub- licity that is being given to planting gar- den seeds is having its effect. The onion set acreage in the Chicago district is going out rapidly. In many cases it is said to have been agreed that payment for tlie crop shall be based on market prices at time of harvest, with a guaranteed minimum. The annual meeting of the Iowa Seed Dealers' Association will bo lield at Des Moines, June 12 and 13. The first day will be devoted to association business, followed by an entertainment at night, and the second day will bo spent at Ames College. The efforts necessary to get the acre- age required for certain seed crops have led to the belief that the farmer is demon- strating his patriotism witli tlie crops wliich are likely to yield him the biggest profits, and potatoes, corn, wheat, navy beans, etc., are more to his liking thaii peas. Thk otlicr day H. W. Ruikboe escorted liis friend, the editor of the Rockford Re- public, through his seed warehouse and shipping rooms, liis greenhouses and of- fices, speeding the parting guest with the injunction, "Now, don't write us up." But the editor did, to the tune of a couple of columns, "just to vindicate the freedom of tlie press. ' ' The Michigan Bean Jobbers' Associa- tion, in special session at Saginaw to dis- cuss war-time food preparedness as it will affect the 1917 bean crop of Michi- gan, adopted a resolution pledging the ineiiibers not to send any beans suitable for seed purposes out of the state until June 1, or until the growers have had time to plant their crops. The association sent :i telegram to I'resident Wilson that ' ' Michigan will endeavor to produce 10,- 000,000 bushels of beans to feed the boys in the trenches."

PROPOSED WAR-TIME MEASURE. In the tentative plan of the l)ei)art- ment of Agriculture for increasing the country's food production, which was submitted at the i-ecpiest of the Senate, there are several matteis touching the interests of the seed trade. The prin- cipal function of the department under the prop(»sed jdiin would be not only to promote extensixc ''cultivation of town lots and unused lands adjacent to towns," but also to increase the acre- age, where time still ])ermits, of corn, oats, barley, rice, sjtring wheat, jteas, beans, covvpeas and soy beans. A gov- ernmental camjiaign of such scope and character obviously would act as a great impetus to the sale of seeds, both vegetable and field.

RAISING THE DUTIES. In its efforts to prepare a bill that will produce war taxes of $1,800,000,000, the committee in charge has been driven to radical measures. The surprise of the bill, however, lay in the provision imposing a tax of ten per cent on all articles now on the free list and impos- ing an additional duty of ten per cent ad valorem on all articles now dutiable.

It will be a blow to those who have booked orders for tall shipments on the basis of f. o. b. New York or buyer's station. But, worst of all, unless the phraseology is changed to cover the point, it will involve a de- parture from the principle of specific duties for which the trade fought so many years by superimposing the old system of ad valorem duties on the present system. No one who has experienced the relief the specific duties brought after the years of bickerings over invoice values will wish to return to the old system.

WILSON SBED CO., NBWARK, M.J. Always mention the Florists' Review wher writing advertisers. the very things that the public needs the most. One seedsman told me that he could sell anything that he could find to buy this season. A diligent search one day last w^eek failed to locate even one pound of soy beans, or of several of the most popidar standard beans, while several of the cow peas are no- where to be found. With every farmer anxious to increase his planting of these most important food crops, which can be better grown here than in most other ])laces in tlie United States, the situation is serious. F. B. ITALIAN SEEDS ARE SUNK. At a recent London meeting of the Horticultural Trades" Association of Great Britain W. Cuthbertson presented a letter from C. C. Morse & Co., San Francisco, Cal., on the subject of diflS.- I'ulty of sliipping seeds from America. The letter stated that eighty-five per cent of all shipping space was reserved by the British government for national needs, so that the margin available for seeds was small. It was decided to ap- proach the Board of Trade aud the Board of Agriculture with a view to securing special consideration for the seed trade, on account of the national importance of the food seed supply at the present time. It was also agreed to issue a warn- ing against packing too large a propor- tion of seeds in any one vessel, in conse- quence of the recent loss of onion and cauliflower from Italy, the cargo sunk being almost all the available supply of these seeds from that country. MOTT-IiY GLEANINGS. John Degnan, of Winterson's Seed Store, Chicago, commented on the ex- cellent demand for and taste in the selection of trees for cemetery use, illus- trating the sale of the weeping mulberry, a tree which for sentimental and utili- tarian reasons is admirably suited for the work. Manager Howe, of the W. W. Barnard Co., Chicago, attributes the company's big business to thorougli preparedness. He referred to a booklet in preparation for the amateur gardeners, of which the first issue of 10,000 will soon be ex- hausted. J. J. Sluis, of the Sluis Seed Store, Chicago, compared tlie tremendous de- mand for garden seeds to a veritable mania. Said Mr. Sluis; "Everybody has got it and as most of our customers have absorbed the information so freely given l)y the })ress, all we can do is to give them what they ask for. We fear, however, tliat those who plant the po- tato locally will be disappointed, the soil not being adapted to this tuber." The Alfred .1. Brown Seed Co., of Grand Kapids, Midi., has acquired the business of the Jones Seed Co., a re- tail concern, wliich it will continue as before, under the management of the veteran seedsman, John Jones, who re- ports a big trade. The same conditions prevail at the Brown retail store, and the wholesale department has beaten all records. Harry K. Saier, of Lansing, Mich., took out the j^artition that divided his store from the one adjoining, to accom- modate the increase in his seed business, and this in the first year. A secret in his business is an unseen force, together with exceptional opportunity, and it is ])ossible an up-to-date building may soon rise. W.

A bulb from the new dahlia will be pre- sented each year to the other twenty- seven cities in the United States named Oakland. San Luis Obispo, Cal. — A. W. Shurra- gar is moving his place to the state highway, where he already has a large lath house built and a greenhouse ready for the glass. He intends to build a new residence and more lath, which will give much additional room. San Francisco, Cal.— Spray orchids are popular on the Pacific coast, but Ferrari Bros., who are among the largest growers, say the Pacific coast at the mo- ment is saturated with phalsenopsis plants and they are making an effort to distribute their stock in the east, where spray orchids have not yet attained the same favor they hold in the west. LOS ANGELES, CAL. The Market. There has been a better tone to the market during the last week, largely on account of tlie local funeral and wed- ding work. But even at that, there is plenty of evidence that the dull season is here; May is always a poor month in this section. Tlie shipping business falls off more or less and with the re- tailers the transient business is only moderate. This year wholesalers report a greater number of inquiries than usual for Mothers' day, and as stock is plentiful and cheap many of these should materialize and help the month consid- erably. Getting down to cases, the carnation market is overloaded with poor stock, as usual, but good stock cleans up daily. Indoor roses are too plentiful and hardly worth the prices asked. Sweet peas, cornflowers and all the smaller items are iilciitif iil and good. Orchids continue on the scarce side and valley is almost out of the market. Plumosus now is plentiful and good. Various Notes. J. Christoj)herson, of Salt Lake City, accompanied by Mrs. Christopherson and tlie children, is here on a visit, looking U]) stock for the opening of the Saltair beach season. They had a narrow es- cape from being wrecked on the way down. A freight train running just in front of tlieir train; in fact, running on their time, collided with a big boulder on the track, which turned the engine over and killed the engineer. Polder Bros, have the sold-out sign on their carnation rooted cuttings for the ]iresent. .lohn Polder reports a good season, many repeat orders having come in. The nursery stock planted out some vears ago is coming along in fine shape iiow and the firm is digging choice conifers, English laurels and other good stock. Some choice funeral work has been t«rned out by Frank Lichtenberg's idace during the last week, especially a couple of palls, made of excellent Spanish irises of a delicate tint that "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 & HoUis. "Petaluma, California, March lo, 1917." reminded one of a lovely albino orchid. This was an artistic touch seldom real- ized in the workaday world of the florists' business. Mr. Lichtenberg was one of the first of the May 1 fishermen to get back to the city with the limit of trout. W. L. Morris, long known in the cut flower business here, is in business for liimself in the old quarters of the Cali- fornia (,'ut Flower & Evergreen Co., on South Broadway. The H. N. Gage Co. is in with a good cut of Star of Bethlehem and other herbaceous stock. Fine ferns of speci- men size are being sent in from the new greenhouses. Oscar Johansson, of the' Johanssen Seed Co., has returned from a northern trip, where he has been on the lookout for land for seed growing, in addition to the already large holdings. What he was looking for in particular was land foi' nasturtiums, but the high prices of beans and cereals generally make it diffi- cult to secure the land. He took the coast route up and returned by the valley. The regular monthly meeting of the Los Angeles County Horticultural So- ciety was held in the Times assembly rooms May 2. The subject for the even- ing was aljly handled by W. W. Felgate, of Sierra Madre. A discussion followed in which .1. Burns, of the Germain Seed & Plant Co., J. Mayer, of Payne's Seed •Store, and others took part. As a visitor, J. Christopherson, of Salt Lake City, was asked for a speech and he made an interesting one, contrasting the plenty that was apparent around Los .Angeles with the l)arreii condition of some other states. He will evidently be a booster for us on his return to Utah. In his store on Hill street, J. W. Welters is making a grand show. Among the prettiest things shown are large branches af the English hawthorn, of the double red variety, grown at Hollywood. It is a magnificent tree when it does so well as this, but as a rule the dry atmosphere here is not conducive to its health. Albert Knopf, of the Kedondo Floral Co., reports a slight falling off in busi- ness, but not more than normal for this season. His son, who was hurt, as re- cently reported, will have to be on crutches for some time, but his doctor says that with care he will not be perma- nently lame. H. E. Eichards. SAN DIEGO, CAL. The tenth annual spring show of the San Diego Floral Association was a great success, both from a financial standpoint and from the point of ex- hibits. The proceeds were turned over to the Eed Cross fund and patriotic citizens turned out in great crowds to the beautiful Balboa park, where the show was held. Vegetable classes were popular on account of the interest taken in home gardening now and the ama- teur flower classes were well filled. The prize-winners in the trade classes follow: Tweiity-tive varieties of roses — E. Heniird, of the Missouri VaUey Nursery, first; Boyle & Dar- iiaud, second.

The food propaganda undoubt- edly has acted as a great impetus to the sale of .seeds. Business in nearly all lines is good, though not markedly so. There seems to be a tendency to tighten purse strings a wee bit. Funeral work forms the bulk of the business riglit now. Various Notes, H. L. Olsson reports good progress with his new range. While materials were liigh when he bouglit them, he con- siders himself lucky, as both paint and glass have taken a big jump in price since the time he made his purchases. Edward Young came in from Walla Walla this week to consult Mr. Olsson regarding tliroe new liouses, each 28x200, which he will build this summer. He ])urchased considerable stock from local growers. E. S. Eugene was well pleased with the attention his new store drew on opening day, and since then has had reason to remark that if business con- tinues as it has begun, he will have to enlarge his force. L. B. II. SAN FRANCISCO. The Market. Prospects are c()usidere at the Palace hotel under the auspices of the Dahlia Society of Cali- fornia, which is an amalgamation of tlie California Dahlia Growers' Associa- Germain Seed & Plant Co.

Montebello tion and tlie California Dalilia Society. .\ jireliminary show schedule has been issued in advance of tlie complete ex- hibit and premium list that will follow shortly. A special feature will be made of dahlias originated in California, it being the ofjinion of some members of the society that California dahlias are sufficiently meritorious to compete against those from any other section of the country. V. C. Burns, chairman of the exhibit committee, asks that dahlia lovers and commercial dahlia growers desiring to offer premiums for the ex- hibitions communicate with him at once, in order to have acknowledgment and mention on the official program. If the Palace hotel sliow is a great success it will probably be followed by another show at the St. Francis hotel, the pro- ceeds of which, above expenses, will be turned over to the Red Cross. A. Tvvitchett, who conducts the Mis- 74 The Florists^ Review May 10, 1917. sion Dahlia Farm, at 715 Moultrie street, saj's the shortage of stock from Holland is causing a great many people to turn their attention to California for dahlias this year. He reports a heavy demand for the pompon varieties. C. S. Quick, dahlia specialist of Berkeley, is able to walk around again, after having been incapacitated for five or six weeks as the result of an auto- mobile accident. A. J. Nevraumont, manager of the California Seed Co., says the demand for dahlia tubers is 100 per cent better than it was a year ago. F. J. Bertrand, genial manager for B. M. Joseph, went to a local hospital May 1 for an operation. He is not ex- pected back at the store for three weeks or more. Mr. Joseph says business is holding up fairly well. Fred C. Jaeger, manager for Mac- Eorie & McLaren, has arranged to leave shortly on an extended automobile trip, the objective point of whicfi will be Tia Juana, near the Mexican border. He will be accompanied by his wife, son and daughter. J. B. Bernardo, of the store force, has a fishing trip planned to the Yosemite. He expects to start about June 1, making the tour by automobile with a party of friends. H. E. Hansen is no longer associated with MacEorie & McLaren. Daniel Banahan has resigned his posi- tion with the Art Floral Co. with the in- tention of enlisting in the army. P. Vin- cent Matraia, head of the company, says tliat stock is fine and that business is seasonably active. Avansino Bros, brought in the last of their large tree peonies May 2, thus winding up a most successful season with them. Store trade, according to Henry Avansino, gives no ground for complaint, but he says it is more difficult to regulate than it was during the win- ter months, some days being much bet- ter than others. Miss Recardie Lee Murray has taken back the flower stand in the Clift hotel, at Taylor and Geary streets, which she conducted for some time prior to open- ing a store at 894 Geary street a few months ago. Three other parties have had a try at it in the meanwhile. Miss Murray did well there, but her trade grew until she needed increased facili- ties. Operating the liotel stand as a branch will probably prove a valuable adjunct to her business. A. J. Rossi, of Pelicano, Rossi & Co., has been taking a prominent part in the preparations for Red Cross day. Louis Picetti, manager of the seed and ])lant department of tlie Emporium, which is operated by Charles Navlet & Co., of San ,Tose, Cal., reports a big de- mand for "canned" rose plants. Mr. Navlet is now offering roses in cans, as the result of an experiment he tried last year with . good success. The idea of using cans instead of pots or other re- ceptacles is that the plant does not have to be removed from the can when it is set out, as the tin decomposes in a short time. W. Stappenbeck, on Polk street, says that his business is practically all fam- ily trade and that it does not vary much from day to day, or season to season. Gunnar Madwig, of the C. Kooyman Co., Inc., expects to leave soon on an extended eastern trip in the interests of the business. The E. W. McLellan Co. has a fine crop of gardenias, and the rose cut is about all this market will stand, accord- ?aa^Uy BABY RAMBLERS ^^.^"e' This new class of miniature roses is Kaining; won- derfully in popularity, and most deservedly so.

The temperature at this writing is 44 degrees. Growers are not complain- ing so much about the cold as they are about the lack of sunshine. All outdoor stock is far behind the season. Darwin tulips are coming in sparingly. Doroni- cums are quite plentiful and are receiv- ing a good demand. Narcissi and daffo- dils are about over, as are Easter lilies. Tliere is practically nothing in the way of small blooming plants suitable for sick rooms or centerpieces. A few good spiraeas are shown, but they receive only a weak demand. All varieties of cut flowers are scarce. This is the awkward season, when win- ter stock is out and summer stock lags. Peas are of good quality, but the lack of sunsliine has kept the quantity below expectations. Snapdragons are also scarce, with the demand good at $1 per dozen. Tlie market is also scantily supplied with carnations. Spanish iris is picked up quickly at 75 cents per dozen. Eoses are tightening on account of the good demand. Greens are more plentiful. Bedding stock is moving slowly and nurserymen complain of a poor demand for shrubbery this spring. Some fairly large funerals and good table decorations have kept the cut flower market in good condition. May day business was not to be "sneezed at." Ketailers now are advertising and looking forward to a big business on Mothers ' day. Various Notes. The Smith Floral Co. is disposing of some fine large blooming pansies in baskets. A beautiful casket spray, made en- tirely of Ophelia roses and plumosus, was one of the pieces made last week by the Hayden-Watson Co. Tlie Acme Floral Co. is cutting some fine Golden Machet mignonette. The peas are coming in well now. The California Florists last week did a good funeral business and made a good showing of cattleyas. Mrs. Miller is cutting some of the best calla lilies of the season. Like the rest, she too is worried by the absence of sunshine. B. G. CHRYSANTHCNUN ROOTED CUTTINGS CANNAS FROM SEEDS. Some time ago I sowed some canna seeds in 2-in(li pots and then plunged the pots in a hotbed. The seeds were taken from red and pink cannas. They were filed and some started to make roots. About three dozen out of 150 came up and are growing. The ones that started to germinate finally de- <'ayed. They may have been kept too wet. The pink canna seeds were the largest, but did not come up at all. Please tell me the cause of the trouble. C. E. H.— 111. If the integuments of your canna seeds had been cut and the seeds in ad- dition had been soaked for twenty-four hours in warm water, germination would have been better. A water soaking in itself would have assisted materially. Canna seeds need a brisk bottom heat to germinate them. Your hotbed prob- ably became cold and persistent water- ing may have caused the seeds of the pink variety to rot.

The death of James Hassett, of Daven- port, la., is recorded in tliis week's obit- uary column. State forests with a total of over 3,600,000 acres have been established in thirteen states. Of these New York has the largest forests, which comprise 1,826,- 000 acres. Pennsylvania is second with 1,008,000 acres, and Wisconsin third with 400,000 acres. It is apparent tlfet the greater part of the program for the convention of the American Association of Nurserymen, to be held at Philadelphia, June 27 to 29, will relate to the special conditions now confronting the nursery trade. The na- tion-wide demand for the planting of food crops this .year has hit the nursery trade a heavy blow, as the planting is of crops that will produce a quick return and fewer fruit trees have been called for than in any recent year. The trade faces a necessity for considerably higher prices and it is a question how they can be ob- tained without a sharp reduction in pro- duction. IMMEDIATE QUARANTINE. The Secretary of Agriculture has amended the white pine blister rust quarantine promulgated April 21, 1917. This amendment became effective May 1, 1917, and prohibits the movement of white pines and black currant plants from tlie New England states to points outside of New England. This action was necessitated by the considerable movement now under way of possibly infected white pines and, to a less ex- tent, black currants, from New Eng- land to states lying west and south. Both of these plants are important car- riers of tlie blister rust disease, and most of the states to which these ship- ments were being made have state quar- antines prohibiting the entry of such stock. GOOD WILL AND CONFIDENCE. Good will is the basis for every per- manent business success. The good will of a customer is unquestionable proof of faithful and intelligent service ren- dered. With a mixture of varieties uniformly good and varieties uniformly poor, the nurserymen are finding it exceedingly diflficuit to gain and hold the good will of their patrons. Shrewdness, also, is a legitimate asset of good business, providing that it is of a character that invites confidence, for confidence between man and man is the foundation of lasting success.

La Crosse, Wis. — A hail storm re- cently damaged glass in greenhouses here to the extent of $2,.500. 8* The Florists^ Review Mat 10, 1917. ^««a;. INDIAH^OLIS. The Market. Last week stock was in abundance, but this week the condition is reversed — stock is extremely scarce. This un- stable condition may be attributed to several causes, the principal of which aire the heavy demand and dark, cold feather. Carnations and lilies, which ■v^ere in such ample supply last week, l^ave all been utilized, chiefly in funeral work, of which there has been a large quantity. Eoses have cleared daily. Sweet peas are not plentiful. '■■ The outlook for Mothers' day business is none too good, in view of the gloomy weather. Carnations, it appears, will be scarce, the white ones bringing $7 and $8. Eoses will not be in large supply, with prices from $4 to $25. Potted plants will be in the minority. Snap- dragons are about the only plentiful flowers and they are of good quality. A few Darwin tulips have made their ap- pearance, as well as a few miniature gladioli. Marguerites and daisies are equal to the demand. On account of the cold weather, bed- ding stock has been moving slowly. The florists differ in opinion as to whether or not the late season will affect the dis- posal of this stock. The green situation has improved and the items now are in almost normal sup- ply, except fern leaves and smilax. The only good fern leaves obtainable are from the east and bring $3.50 per thousand. Various Notes. C. Schwomeyer has acquired the in- terests of the heirs of the Schwomeyer estate and is now the sole owner. He recently purchased a new auto truck, A. P. Eeynyids made a business trip to Eichmonfl last week. JFied i^iel has resigned as manager of the Smith & Young Co. He has not as vet made any definite plans for the fu- ture, although he has had several good offers. M. A. Leganger, of the A. L. Eandall Co., Chicago, was a visitor this week. The Pahud Floral Co. has purchased thirty-four acres of land east of the city. It contemplates erecting a range some- time in the future. The Circle Flower Store had an at- tractive window last week commemorat- ing Baby week. The idea was brought out by the use of cradles, dolls, storks and delicate and dainty flowers artis- tically arranged in small baskets. The coal situation grows worse instead of better. Some of the local concerns have had their contracts canceled, even at this early date, while other coal deal- ers refuse to sign any contracts. Clarence Thomas was the designer of a beautiful basket which on Lafayette day was presented to the French who took part in the commemoration. The cold weather we have been hav- ing at this time of year is almost un- precedented. The unusual amount of rainfall and low temperatures, with coal at such prices, have been unusually hard on the florists. May 4 there was a steady fall of snow. Frank Eicman, son of John Eieman, was married last week. L. B. Coddington, of Murray Hill, N. J., was a visitor this week. Baur & Steinkamp have started to cut large-flowering gladioli. E. E. T.

Business remains good, with plenty of funeral and wedding work to keep the retailers busy. The supply of stock has shortened and each morning the whole- salers quickly dispose of the shipments received. American Beauty roses recently have been poor and tlie demand for them has dropped. Opjielia, Shawyer, Russell, Reid and Hoosier Beauty roses find ready sale, while Killarneys do not seem to be so popular. Short-stemmed roses are in demand and clear each day. The supply of carnations, also, has shortened and their keeping qualities are poor. Bulbous stock is not in oversup- ply and moves each day. Sweet peas are on the short side, while valley and orchids sell well, as the demand for cor- sage bouquets recently has been strong. Various Notes. Detroit florists are ready for Mothers' day and expect the sales to increase over a year ago. Every store is displaying prominently Mothers' day posters of red, white and blue with the words "Mothers' day. May 13," in the field of white. A Detroit newspaper featured an article on Mothers' day by Ella Grant Wilson, of Cleveland, O., in the issue of Sunday, May 6. Adam Bezemer, of E. A. Fetters' store, recently spent a few days at his home in Kalamazoo, Mich. John F. Mast, formerly with F. Holz- nagle, has taken over the Art Floral Co. store adjoining the Majestic theater on Woodward avenue. Miss M. Dunke has acquired the flower store on East Grand River avenue, near Broadway. Visitors. S. A. Anderson, of Buffalo, N. Y., was a recent visitor in Detroit. Philip Foley, of the Foley Greenhouse Mfg. Co., Chicago, 111., was in Detroit on business. A. Miller, of the American Bulb Co., Chicago, 111., was in Detroit last week calling on the trade. H. T. NEWPORT, R. I. John C. Hass reports that April was a busy month in funeral work, as well as decorations. The garden movement has caused an iinusually brisk demand for vegetable plants, and S. Larson, gardener at the Tolethorpe school, has had his hands full supplying the demands. Ebenezer W. Forrest has opened a new store at 94 Broadway. He was for sev- eral years with Gibson Bros, and later with Thomas J. Gibson. Mr. Forrest will be married next month. W. H. M. Poughkeepsie, N. Y.— W. A. Saltford, of Saltford 's Flower Shop, commenting on the various styles of baskets filled with bulbous plants in bloom, said any- thing that is different from the ordinary idea sells and the more classy the better.

SEND FOR CATALOGUE OAST IRON BOILERS WASTE FUEL I had a cast iron 8-section boiler before, but was afraid it would crack to pieces. The Kroeschell Boiler is certainly a fuel-saver. My coal bill to heat 6000 sq. ft. of glass surface with your boiler is less than last winter's coal bill, when I had only 2050 sq. ft. of glass, heated with the 8-section cast iron boiler. Your boiler burns any kind of fuel. I would not have any other boiler than the Kroeschell, and will recommend whenever I get a chance. Edward Wittamer, .loliet, 111. KR0ESCHELL6R0S.C0. 444 W.

The market maintained its usual liveliness, thanks to wedding and other social work. Beauties have declined somewhat in quality as well as in (piantity, but there is what miglit bo called a fairly good demand for them. Other roses cleaned u]) well last week and prices again are liiglier. Kussell, as usual, clears readily. White roses are enjoying a fair demand. Carnation prices have soared, ])ut tlie blooms are of good quality. There still are heavy consignments of Easter lilies, l)ut they seem to move along easily. Callas, too, have a good demand, but are not so plentiful as the Easter lilies. Bulbous stock is ])asHing out slowly. Sweet peas are abundant in all grades, from the ex- cellent Butterfly varieties to tlie sliort- stemmed stock. Violets are no longer witli us and leave more room for tlic sweet peas and orchids. Spanish irises and baby gladioli find a ready sale whenever shown, but these, as yet, are in limited supjdy. Yel- low daisies, mignonette, snai)dragons, calendulas, niyosotis and ]iansies make lip the miscellaneous list. A few ixias arrived from the east and were bought u|) ([uickly.

NASHVILLE, TENN. The Market. Despite tlie unseasonably dark and cold weatlier, there seems to be no re- cession in tlie ])roduction of cut flowers. Koses of all varieties are in abundance, peonies are arriving in ever-increasing quantities and even sweet peas are more than plentiful. For the first time in several years, market conditions seem to favor the shipping of peonies to the Chicago market, and they are going every day. They are not so large this season as tliey should be, but, then, they are good in color and form and should sell well, Tlie bedding plant season is here, but ))ecause of the continued low tempera- tures business is not so brisk as it was ten days ago. Yet no one can complain of the demand, and it is clear that peo- ])le are not planting fewer flowers, how- ever much more garden truck they may be putting in the ground. Stocks are beginning to run low and the jirices ob- tained are generally l)ett(T than usual. The first outdoor roses are appearing, slowly to be sure, but in sufficient num- bers to prove that with one or two nor- mal days there Avill l)e thousands of them. The demand for cut flowers is good. Thus far all agree tliat the war has liad no effect, business being better than last year's. Just now is one of the normally slack times, but in another fortnight school commencements will be in full blast. Various Notes. The Joy Floral Co. has i)rocured a lo- cation on one of the best streets of (.'hattanooga and Avill open a flower store there during the last of this week. John Bralliar, the youngest son of Floyd Bralliar, underwent a minor oper- ation this week. lie now is about again.

Tlu'r(> lias boon tlie avoraf^c siuiiij;- l)nsiiK'ss (luring tlio last week. Prices have been loasonable, and the supply coming into the market is adequate. Growers held their carnations to make a big cut for Mothers' day and expect a large demand for them the last part of the week. With Memorial day ap- j)roaching, growers are getting their bed- ding stock ready for market. Already tliere is considerable cemetery work for the ilorists located near the cemeteries. There also has been considerable funeral work. Roses are coming in good supjdy and are of good quality. Violets still are jdentiful, and ])ansies are coming in large quantities. There are some fine Piaster lilies in the market. Each week sees a smaller su])ply of distinctly sjiring stock. Various Notes. George Gill has oi)ened a retail store at 1168 East Jersey street, Elizabeth. D. E. Davis, of Grove street, East Orange, has a fine lot of potted geraniums for Memorial dav trade. R. B. M. COLUMBUS, O. Business has been quiet during tlie last two weeks, with stock rather jden- tiful in most lines. Roses are coming in satisfactorily and as a rule are cleaned up fairly well. Ophelia and Russell roses are the best sellers, with Stanley a close third. White Killarney and Kil- larney roses are of fair quality, but the demand is light. Carnations are not ex- cessively plentiful, but the demand is weak at this writing. Lilies are in larger sup]>ly, as are snapdragons, but the demand for these is far from robust. Sweet peas are selling well and the qual- ity keeps up. Valley is scarce at this time, but outdoor stock will soon be in. Some fine outdoor tuli|)s are arriving, but they are experiencing a quiet spell. There is a scarcity of good ]iotted ]ilants at ])resent, th(> |)iincipal excep- tion being hydrangeas. The cold weather has j)ut a damper on the sale of ]dants for porch boxes, etc., and the indications arc that the business will come in a luni|i, although it is likely that sales will be lighter this season on account of the mo\enient for larger vegetable production. All the florists have about the same opinion. They say that orders are coming in lightly for window box stock. Prices may have something to do with this, as they have been advanced on nearly all bedding plants. J. M. IF YOU WANT THE BEST ^Ml'&i 1 '.'\ M xV.-" r'\ 1 \Axi<.->- -^^ 1 1» 1 1 -^ .

A New It's Leak IT'S easy enough to say a ridge ^ is tight. It's easy enough to say that the leak drips are condensation. It's easy enough to finally de- clare that no one can make an absolutely leakless ridge when ventilating sash are used on both sides. With a hard, beating, wind- driven rain, we doubt if it's pos- sible to shut out every drop. But if any ridge is practically leak tight, this one of ours is. That angle-shaped groove prevents the water from creeping in. When it strikes that groove HitcKitififs NEW YORK OFFICE! 1170 Braartway it drops on to the vent sash. If every part of the sash could be held as snug and tight as at the hinges, there would be no leaks. To overcome this, we mill the main part of the ridge with a special curve. The sash is also curve milled. When the curve of the sash strikes the curve of the ridge, a leverage is produced that sort of pries tight shut every inch of the sash ' s length . Everyone who has it, says it is absolutely tight. You know we go anywhere for business. Or to talk business. "^P^RV BENERAL OFFICES MO FACTORY. ELIZABETH. N. J.

ICKES-BRAUN MILL CO. 2330 WABANSIA AVENUE, (Near Western and North Ave.) CHICAGO, ILL. SJi'iitioii Tli(! Uovicw wlion you \\^-it( MILWAUKEE, WIS. The Market. There was little sunshine last week and the weather was unusually cold for this time of the year. The glut of stock at the end of the week has turned into a real shortage. It has become difficult to fill all orders satisfactorily and it is easy to see that the shortage will be acute for Mothers' day. A canvass of the local situation indicates that stock does not compare favorably in quan- tity with that of last year. The ad- vance orders for otlier stock besides carnations have been unusually lieavy this year. Tlie quality of the carnations has improved greatly and what stock there is should be in fine shape for the Motliers' day trade. There are ])rac- tically no splits in tlie market and the stock is bringing $6 ])er hundred and better for the assorted colors. Koses are in fine form, and wliile the supi)ly is limited, orders are being taken care of with at least some degree of satisfaction. Naturally the sliorter grades are in greatest demand, but some exceptionally fine stock is being moved at fair prices. Ked roses are particularly scarce and the supply of white is also inadequate. Sweet jieas are liaving quite a sale for Motliers' day and from present indications the supply will be far sliort of the demand. Violets are over for tliis year and tlieir end lias increased tlie demand for other small stock. Indoor tulips, wliilc still in the market, are becoming poorer every day, and as the outdoor stock as yet has not come in, it is diHicult to take care of orders satisfactorily. There is an excojitionally fine lot of cattlcyas in the market at this time and these should move readily for Mothers' day. While there is not a variety of plants available just now, the sales are quite heavy, which would seem to demonstrate that Mothers' day in time will develo]) a large movement of plants. The possibil- ities of Mothers' day are almost unlim- ited and it is up to tlic retail end of the trade to see that the day and its ob- servance is ])erpetuated. It is to be hoped tliat plans will })e made in the near future for keeping this occasion in the minds of the public each year. There is no reason why this day should not become as popular with the buying public as is Memorial day. H. J. S.

SIN'S HYBRID YELLOW POLYANTHUS I had two houses of Giant Yellow Polyanthus in full crop at Blaster. A Review correspondent saw them March 31st and wrote: "They include some beautiful varieties, which are being carefully marked and saved for propagation. One bed 300 feet long, of a pale yellow polyanthus, 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 300 feet long, are devoted to this crop, and a glorious sight they are." But the best of it is they had a glorious sale. You can do as well next season if you order your stock now. Strong divisions ready in May. This is one of my houses 20x300 feet, of National Flower Show Gold Medal Polyanthus These have been in bloom constantly since November and will continue into May.

'^^^^ PLANNING A DRIVE ^ M FOR MEMORIAL DAY In the battle for husiness the trade must take advantage of every favor- able opportunity. Such an opportunity is at hand. Custom has established Memorial day as one of the great selling days of the year. But it can he made greater by the right kind of effort. AMPAIGNING for busi- ness is not unlike the mil- itary operations in Eu- rope. Careful preparation, proper alignment of all forces that will tend to- ward success and then the ' ' drive ' ' bring results to liim who is best prepared and who puts the greatest amount of constructive thought back of his efforts. Tlie trade recently has made two successful "spring drives." Business at Easter was the greatest in the history of the trade; Mothers' day was a big success. Now comes the ' ' drive ' ' for Memorial day business. Memorial day, originally set apart as a day upon which to honor the memory of the soldier dead, has become so much more than that it is commonly called Decoration day. Custom has made it the day for everyone to pay homage to the loved ones who have passed away, but who have not been forgotten. And custom has also made the decoration of graves \vith flowers and plants the method bvjKhich this reverence for the memoryyWthe depart- ed is shown. Time to Get Busy. This year, the coun- try being at war will bring back to the mind of everyone the sig- nificance of the day. War will not detract from, but rather in- crease the observance of Memorial day. Thus conditions are ideal for the Memorial day "drive" of the florist. All he has to do is to plan his campaign carefully, bring all of his selling forces into the battle for business, and victory is sure. If that campaign has not already been planned, there is not a minute to waste before doing it. Because the greater the prepara- tory artillery fire of publicity, the more cer- tain is the success of the campaign to re- place stock in the store with money in the cash register. And that tells the story of the suc- cess or failure of the campaign for Memorial day trade. To get the greatest results from the drive, a leader should be chosen. Then concentrate your selling efforts on this one thing. That has been proven to be the best means of gaining commercial victory. Be tliis leader a certain style of wreath, or plants, or cut flowers, it should be tlie shell constantly fired at tlie buying public. The Wreath the Staple. Wreaths, of course, are staples for Memorial day trade. They have been, ;iud still are, tlie most popular pieces for grave decoration. The public likes tliem because they will last — the buyer gets a longer run for his money tlian with loose cut flowers or bouquets. Wreatlis, too, liave the advantage in that they can be made up in advance and tliose unsold can be kept for future funeral work. After tlie leader has been selected and the price of it fixed, start your sell- ing campaign. The first moves are to decorate the show window and to ad- vertise. Wreaths, Plain or Elaborate, Are Memorial Day Favorites. The objects of a window display are: First, to get the attention of the pedes- trian; second, to interest him in what you liave for sale, and, third, to make that interest so intense that he will have a desire to possess what he sees. Then the sale is the same as made. There is a fine sentiment back of Me- morial day. Everyone has that senti- ment, but in many it is dormant. It is up to us to arouse it. Consequently our window should have some sentimental appeal, such as that of patriotism. War is uppermost of the impersonal things in everybody's mind. Consequently some novel arrangement of flags, such as those of the countries of whicli the United States is now an ally, would at- tract attention to the window, as it is doubtful if one person in fifty has seen or would recognize the flags of Belgium, France, Great Britain, Russia and Italy, with a greater percentage ignorant of the colors of Servia, Eoumania and Montenegro. There we have a suggestion, which, carried out, would attract the crowds. The balance of the decoration should be made up of seasonable tilings we have for sale. A card with a snappy selling argu- ment with a sentimen- tal appeal would not be out of place. Keep to Day's Spirit. Not alone should the window breathe the spirit of Memorial day. The interior of the store, also, can be made to impress the mind of the visitor with the one idea all florists want to impress — that Memorial day is near and that a wreath, or a plant, or flowers of some kind should be purchased and taken or sent to the cemetery. This can be done by putting out of sight for a few days those things which will dis- tract the mind from thoughts of Memorial day and by exposing those things especially designed for the occa- sion. As an example: Even though we have just completed elabo- rate bouquets for a 16 The Florists^ Review May 17, 1917. wed(iinf> ami are proiul of our handi- work, koo]t tliom out of sight. Tliey do not tit in with the Memorial day idea and, wliile they are sure to be admired, are likely to draw attention from the real matter at liand, buying for Memorial day. This bit of advice is based on scien- tific selling fact and is not only true in theory, but has been proven in practice. Nothing should be left undone that will aid in focusing the prospective custom- a price that will bring buyers to the store — this same leader many times will be the means of making a larger sale. Wlien a man or woman enters a store ■witli the fixed intention of making a purchase, he or she is a ready subject for the real salesman. Accessories Are Sales Helps. The up-to-date store now has so many attractive accessories that it is not dif- ficult to find one of them which will pl .f%^ p i c ^- ^^^ ^ rn'm^ rr^fcr.v...±;,.,.-.»i*a_ ...iSTll.. Flags and Wreaths Are the Features of the Memorial Day Window. er's mind upo^i the significance and im- portance of the day. This does not mean that there should be anything de- pressive about the display in the store, but it should be impressive and not sug- gestive of gaiety. . . Newspaper and circular advertising are important factors in this Memorial day campaign. We have used our best judgment in selecting a leader and fixed a price upon it. Now the plan of cam- paign provides for letting people know about it. Newspaper space, when the numl)er ot readers is taken into consideration, is the least expensive of all forms of ad- vertising. We can tell our story to a greater number of people than with cir- culars. But if these shots are to help bring victory they must be made to count. Thev must have the punch that will make the right impression upon the buying public. Preparing Advertising Copy. Wlien vou prepare your advertising copy, forget that you' are talking to a great numl)er of people. Imagine that vou have a prospective customer m your "store and vou want to sell him a wreath, say, for Memorial day. In trying for this sale, vou would undoubtedly first call his attention to the noble senti- ment of the day; next you would tell him about the special wreaths you have made up for the expression of this sen- timent, thoir lasting qualities and finallv how little one of them will cost. In "other words, you Avould try to create in this man a desire to possess one of those wreaths. Do the same thing with the men and Avomen who read the newspaper ad— try to create in them a desire. Do not take it for granted that the desire is there and that the mission of vour announcement is merely to tell where a wreath may be obtained. While there is a good profit in the sale of leaders even at an attractive price- make an appeal that will bring a sale. Baskets for pot plants might be cited as an example. One manufacturer has produced a novelty basket in red, white and blue. The visit of a buyer, too, gives an op- portunity to suggest a more permanent cemetery lot decoration. There is the possibility of a sale of a plant or two, or an order for bedding out or the plant- ing of shrubs, now or later. Special days are not so numerous that the trade can afford to overlook any of them. Consistent boosting has created some of these days. Mothers ' day, for instance. Each recent vear has seen these days better from a business stand- point than the year before. They will keep right on getting better, too, but we each must do our own boosting in our own town. What some florist ac- complished in the next city or another state does not help us at the moment, although it will eventually have an ef- fect on the business as a whole. Therefore the time for the next "drive" is its own reason for that ' ' drive. ' ' Roll up your sleeves and go to it. Made-up Stock Sells Best. Experience of some of the leaders in the trade shows that buyers want made- up stock for Memorial day. Formerly, that is before florists taught the people that it is more satisfactory and just as economical to deal with them on Memo- rial day, the visit to the cemetery meant carrying loose flowers, which were scat- tered over the grave, or the sinking of a glass vase into the soil as a water and flower holder. In a few hours or a day the flowers were dead and the grave looked even more desolate than before. Tlien the trade began to see the pos- sibilities of the day and went after business. Magnolia, galax and cycas- leaf wreaths, some decorated with fresh and some with artificial flowers and ferns, made their appearance and through their lasting qualities have be- come more and more popular. They also gave the florist an opportunity to pre- pare for the day, as he could make the wreaths in advance and devote his time the days before, and on the day itself, to making sales and delivering the orders already in. In this class of busi- ness there is absolutely no loss. Sprays, however, present a different problem. At the earliest, they cannot be made up until the night before they are to be used. Wreaths Are Most Popular. Those who do a big business in wreaths for Memorial day started in a small way and have worked up the sales. They began by making up as many wreaths as they believed they could sell, fixed the quality and price at How They Decorate the Graves of Fallen Fighters in France. Mat 17, 1917. The Florists^ Review 17 Display of Window Boxes on the New York Store of J. H. Small & Sons, an Example for Otfier Florists. what they consideiTd lijjlit for tlieir trade and then advertised. The move was a success from the first. The sales liave increased eacli year, until now they make a most welcome addition to the annual statement. There is a good reason why these me (lium-priced pieces sell well for Memo rial day. That is because the average buyers will not spend much money on flowers to be left in the cemetery. Many others merely want to do their "l)it'' toward the observance of the day; they do not want the last resting places of their relatives to be conspicuous by the absence of flowers. Neither do they want to expend any considerable sum. ( 'ou- sequently, the retailer should take these facts into consideration when he de cides on the price of his Memorial day leader. It is less than two weeks until MtMuo rial day; thus the time remaining in which to make the "drive"' is short. But perhaps because of that fact, the retailer will put more enthusiasm into liis efforts and, in consequence, make it a greater success. At any rate, nothing comes to him who merely waits, l)ut suc- cess crowns the efforts of the man who goes after what he wants. Memorial day business is worth going after and the man who goes after it along proven lines will get it. Gallipolis, O. — Having attained local ))rominen(e as an amateur grower of flowers, Mrs. E. Morgan has decided to try her luck as a professional. A MEMORIAL DAY TIP. TIow can the retailer increase iiis Afemorial day business? That question has V)een answered many times in many ways by the resourceful members of tiie trade. Something has suggested to them a place where a good order could be secured if the appropriateness of a wreath for the grave of some j>rominent man were only called to the attention of the person, or society, or whatever organization would be g];id to ]>ay tl:at man honor. Such a suggestion is contained in the illustration of the Memorial day dec- oration of tiie grave of Ben King, which accompanies the leading articdc in this issue of The Keview. Ben King was a Chicago newspaperman, witli a talent for writing humorous \'ers('. He was one of the meudiers of the Cliicago I'ress Club in its earlier days. Al though he died twenty-three years ago. tlic Chicago Press Club allows no Memorial day to pass without honor- ing his memory in the manner shown. Tn every city and town there arc clubs and fraternal orders and societies. In a great many of these organizations there is held a particular reverence for the memory of some member or mem- bers. The florist, in the smaller cities, especially, probably can call to mind such a man and such an organization. Why not suggest that a wreath bearing the name of the organization would be an appropriate manner of showing the ]iublic the esteem in which the departed was held by his fellow members? The difference between the clerk and the salesman is that one sells flowers to [lorsons who want to buy; the other, by various methods known to his craft, creates business where none was be- fore. There are a lot of salesmen in the florists' trade. If there were not, the business would not have grown as it lias in the last ten years. Consequently a suggestion dropped ill the proper place, that is to one who would be interested, in many cases would piake the initial sale. Started, that sale would be as regular as the coming of Memorial day, as the custom would be established, and established customs seldom are discarded. TAKING OUR OWN MEDICINE. If there is any florist who feels that lie will be unable this year to sell all the stock in his greenhouses, it will afford him a splendid o]qiortunity to ])ractice what lie ]ireachcs. In olden times it was the motto of William Scott, and his practice, "Wash all you got and hang out all you wash." Ft was due to his example as much as to any other one factor that Buffalo was famous the country over for its flower beds and the showing of lawn vases, window and porch lioxes in its resi- dence districts. Too few florists undertake to increase their business by making their own premises an object lesson to the neigh- 16 ^M^ The Florists^ Review M\\ IT. r.H W'mMiiiu ;iii'I ■,!<■(■ |ii(iii(| III' iulit .

In The Eeview for May 3 there ap- peared an article advocating the adop- tion of the Shasta daisy as the national flower. I do not object to the Shasta daisy as a national flower, but I do ob- ject to the way the writer bestows praise on Luther Burbank, I firmly be- lieve that much of Mr. Burbank 'a magic has been "built" by write-ups, such as enthusiastic people are always giv- ing him. Many florists have produced new varieties and improved old ones, even as Mr. Burbank has, but the florist- originators did not make so much fuss about it. When Mr. Burbank " puts one over" the people and press go wild over it. As to Mr. Burbank originating the Shasta daisy, that is all rot. The Shasta daisy was in existence, under another name, and overrunning some parts of the country in a wild state, long before we ever heard of Mr. Burbank. Mr. Burbank has improved the flower and given it the name of Shasta, exactly as many of us have improved carnations, roses, chrysanthemums and vegetables. It would be silly to select a national flower with the intent of honoring Mr. Burbank or anyone else. The proposed national flower must stand for the na- tion, not for an individual. E. Bushyager. BROWN'S SOWBUG WARFARE. The Review for May 10 contained an article relating how the houses of an Illinois grower had been invaded by an army of sowbugs and how the grower was trying to stamp out the evil. I had a similar visitation about ten years ago and, after failing to exterminate the pests by means of cut potatoes and a mixture of Paris green and meal, I found a remedy that proved most ef- ficacious; in fact, I rid my houses of the bugs within a week. I mashed a few potatoes and rubbed the pulp on the surfaces of boards. The boards, which were about a foot in width and four feet in length, I placed •^ on the ground underneath the benches, ' leaving a space between the boards and ground of about the thickness of two pot labels. In a remarkably short time the sowbugs collected by thousands on the underside of the boards. I then took a sprinkling can filled with boil- ing water and fitted with a fine rose, or cap. I tipped over the boards, one at a time, and turned the hot water on the pests. In this way I killed multi- tudes of them, and within a week saw the end of them. A few of the bugs collected on the inner boards of the back benches. These I exterminated by cutting slits between the soil and the bioards with a knife, and then pouring in the boiling water, after removing the rose from the can. The bugs never came back, but if they do I shall know how to go after them. Thomas L. Brown. FINDS BUSINESS GOOD. I have noticed articles of dire pessi- mism and forecasts of hard times ap- pearing in your columns headed, ' * Grow- ers! How About It?" and feel impelled to make this contribution. Like almost everyone, I felt that our business would be seriously affected by the declaration of war with the Impe- rial German Government, but found quite the opposite to» be true. War was declared April 6, Good Fri- day, but we did an immense Easter busi- ness. Though the first couple of, days following Easter were quiet, people soon began to flock to the cemetery and as our range here at Mount Pleasant, Mich., is at the cemetery gates, they swarmed in for plants and cut flowers. We had to discontinue delivering, so we could use every available moment to take care of customers. During the four days preceding Moth- ers' day, we sold more than 4,000 carna- tions at 10 cents each, straight, and were forced to sell geranium flowers Sat- urday afternoon and all day Sunday at 60 cents per dozen. Roses brought $2 to $4 per dozen, geranium plants 25 cents each, or $2.50 per dozen. Most of this business was cash; no delivering. We are making preparations for a big Memorial day, as it seems the war has helped our business and that of most others in this part of the country. C. V. Abeele. North East, Pa. — George Selkregg has built up a large trade in tomatoes in 4-inch square boxes that retail at 50 cents per dozen. He says there is good money in them. Apropos of boxes, he is convinced the time has arrived when retailers must charge for them, as it seems the easiest way to obtain some advance in prices, in view of the high cost of growing. A fine stock of bed- ding plants is to be seen at North East. iMii!^ii^iiyji^iMiu^^|ty^iiyjiiy{i^i^(1h«\1r)«\lY•^1r^^^^ PATRIOTIC DISPLAYS. Popular with the Public. These are the days for hanging out the flag. The starry banner is every- where and the florist, who neglects its use in his decorations fails to ally him- self with the spiri'j of the hour. The flag is an essential feature of every decoration for a banquet or other large gathering — everything except, perhaps, a wedding or a funeral — and the retailer who does not use it in his window and store will be noted by the public as not sharing the enthusiasm of the hour. Until this year there have been two days annually when many Americans made it a point to hang out the Stars and Stripes. Those days were Memorial day and the Fourth of July. Of the two it is probable that flags were more generally displayed on the former day than on the latter anniversary. That was the time of peace and tranquillity. In Window and Store. During the last several weeks, the flag has been much in evidencfe. It also has taken on a new meaning to those of the younger generation. It is no longer something to admire for its col- ors, and to sing about, but it has be- come what it was originally intended to be, a something to inspire the people. Consequently, the trade should not be laggard. Somewhere other than in the display window there should be an Old Glory, not only on Memorial day itself, but before and after, and until such a time as peace shall be restored. Supply-House Helps. W. J. Palmer & Son, of Buffalo, N. Y., display a flag in their new store in a manner that has dignity. Its pole is placed in a standard at the end of the show house and the flag itself falls in graceful folds, as will be seen by the accompanying illustration.

One of the supply houses, following the fashions of the liour, has made flags a leading side line these last few weeks and has found a wonderful sale for them, all sizes and qualities and the flags of all nations^almost. Perhaps the bet- ter class of flower stores can not sell flags, but they can be used. And if a florist has a cemetery trade he can sell small flags, the cheap, painted kind that stick in the ground, with the flowers to go on the graves. There will be liter- ally millions of them taken to the ceme- teries at Memorial day and the decora- tions of flags will vie with the decora- tions of flowers. ' Baskets and Bibbons. Another supply house, in response to tlie popular demand, has created a line of red, white and blue baskets, etc. With these and with flags a patriotic window can be decorated to stop prac- tically every passer-by. A ribbon house has a red, white and blue ribbon in Aarious widtlis, all the way from baby ribbon up to the wide ribbon used on big baskets and wreaths. Another has flags in ribbon rolls, from whicli the florist can cut them, one at a time, with shears, to go into corsage bouquets or boxes of flowers. Another supply house is developing a line of silk flags on hollow tin poles, with an electric fan at the base of each pole to force a current of air through it to keep the flag waving in the breeze of unseen source. These will be excel- lent for innumerable decorative pur- poses. There are dozens of ways in which the ingenious florist can hang out the flag in his store and in his work for the public.

Complaints are heard from some growers that the commission houses, as the south- ern shipments begin to arrive, shut down on the northern men. In this they com- pare unfavorably with the cut flower commission houses, which invariably en- deavor to handle the product to the best advantage of all concerned.

PROBLEM OF GETTING A FUEL SUPPLY r«^ir)«Yirririr7S>(iri«virriYih«Yiiysvirrsvir7Svih«tifirs^ THE SCARCITY OF COAL. When It Should Be Plentiful. Can you buy any coal — and get it de- livered? It' you can, it is no flattery to say that you are a man of some influence. While peojjle are clamoring for an op- ])ortunity to procure tlieir supply of fuel for next winter, the dealers are doling it out in tiny apportionments that scarcely suffice for the most urgent pres- ent needs. It is of no avail to remind the dealers that this is the season when coal ought to be most abundant. Neither is it of any avail to tell them that "the nation," according to some lover of figures, "has enough coal east of the Hocky mountains to last it upward of .■?,000 years, and tlie mines have, ap- ])arently, a productive capacity of far more than 150,000,000 tons per year in excess of what the people are going to need." The coal journals tell us that "the rising price tendencies on coal are alarming the government, the consumers and the producers alike." Florists and other users of fuel would ])robably not be ashamed to confess that they have been alarmed for some time. However optimistic they may be, their optimism feeds no boilers. Yet they may be en- couraged, rather than further depressed, by the knowledge that the government and the mine operators now are sharing in the alarm. If the government and the operators realize the seriousness of the situation so fully as to act in unison and with sufficient energy, the trouble may be somewhat relieved. Let us hope so, and try to be of good clieer. A Bitter Disappointment. One of the most disconcerting aspects of the matter is, that the clouds of dis- aster are thickest just when they were expected to disai)pear. The gloom seems to be untimely, unnatural and awe-inspiring, like total darkness at noon. Although, in normal circum- stances, fuel would be cheapest and most plentiful at this season of the year, tlie conditions now are reversed. In the bitter cold of Avinter the florist 's one comforting reflection was: "If I can just worry along for a while, then the mild weather will come, Avith an abun- dance of chea]) fuel, so that I can fill my bins for the next winter. Bins — yes, I'll build more liins and fill them all. I'll never be caught again." Alas! How sadly he has been disappointed! Searching for Causes. There is not much that is new in the su])])0sed cause of the scarcity of coal, tliough some new elements, such as the war, have their bearings on the case. It is chiefly the same old story — only much worse — of shortage of cars and labor. In some localities, we are told, the ])roportion of availal)le cars is only about thirty ]»er cent of the ordinary car supply at this season. "One vital cause of this depletion of cars," say some of the authorities, "is the subtrac- tion of coal cai's from the coal trade to engage in the carriage of pig iron and steel ])roducts, lumber, cement, automo- biles, sand and broken stone." The lack of laborers at the mines can be readily appreciated, since a similar difficulty exists in many other lines of trade. In the various coal districts it is estimated that from fifteen to thirty- five per cent of the laborers have de- serted the mines and connected them- selves with other industries. One of the principal reasons for this loss of men, it is stated, is that the operators have not been able to give them steady em- ployment because the mines have been closed for lack of cars. The men sought more regular work elsewhere. Finding a Scapegoat. If that is correct, it would thus ap- pear that the inadequacy of the means of transportation is the immediate cause Tlie Kdltor Is plep«ed 'When a Reader presents bis Ideas on any subject treated ic t^Jtl^ As experience is the best teacher, so do we learn fastest by an exchanse of experiences.

WK SHALX, BE GLAD TO HSAR FROM TOU of most of the trouble. Probably, how- ever, the railroad companies can easily pass the blame along to some other scapegoat. As a natural consequence — or is it entirely natural?— of existing condi- tions, prices still are soaring. They are lianicky and uncertain — uncertain ex- cept in the one particular that they show no sign of dropping. "The smoke- less market," it is said, "was back May 1 to what it was February 1." But the ])rices February 1 were too miscella- neous to be a definite basis of compari- son. Other bituminous coals are climb- ing. The prices of anthracite, as far as j.ublished, seem to include the cus- tomary monthly advance of 10 cents per ton, ])ius some other extras, such as "a '2'} cents per ton increase to cover the concessions recently made to the min- ers. ' ' Is There a Remedy at Hand? As to the possible remedies, it is well known, of course, that the Federal Trade Commission is conducting an in- quiry, with the control of prices as the final object in view. And multitudes of suffering people fervently wish success to the commission's labors. The mine operators, on their part, are proposing that "such miners as wish to enlist in the army shall be allowed to do so, but shall be returned with a full mil- itary status to the coal mines to do their duty there. ' ' The operators are also suggesting that ' ' conditions be returned to normal by the return of coal cars to the coal trade." Not only is the Federal Trade Com- mission carrying on an investigation, as already stated, but the Council of National Defense also is giving prac- tical attention to the subject, acting through the committee on coal produc- tion. Of course it is not the aim of this committee to expedite the movement of coal for war purposes only, without re- gard to the ordinary requirements of the public, since the successful prosecu- tion of the war depends largely on the general prosperity of the country. But the committee intimates that a certain amount of regulation and restriction of the distribution of coal may become necessary, for the greatest good of all concerned. Begnlating Coal Distribution. A warning of such a possible neces- sity was issued recently by Francis S. Peabody, of Chicago, chairman of the committee referred to. He says: "If the demand continues to increase it may be necessary that active steps be taken to confine the distribution and use of coal to those activities which are more nearly vital to the welfare and protection of the nation." Mr. Pea- body continues: "We believe the first essential toward an increased production of coal is a close cooperation between mine employer and mine employee, and the United Mine Workers of America and the mine operators in several dis- tricts have i)ledged their services. ' ' The total production of coal througliout the country has been seri- ously curtailed by difficulties in trans- ])ortation service and unequal distribu- tion of cars. We urge upon the opera- tors that they pledge themselves to load all cars obtainable in the shortest time after they become available, and that they urge their customers to release these cars at the earliest possible date. If it is found that in any districts sur- plus coal is obtainable at this time over and above the actual needs, it should be divided as equally as possible and stored in the bins of the ultimate consumer." Boonville, Ind.— Under an agreement with the Chamber of Commerce, Ernest Lutz has disposed of 1,000,000 tomato and cabbage plants, at cost. Realizing the trend of conditions, Mr. Lutz last year began making preparation for the spring drive against the high cost of living.

A Good Meeting. The coal situation, the national gar- den movement, local and trade econom- ics, the food question, these were the principal items which occupied the at- tention of the Chicago Florists' Club at the monthly meeting held at the Briggs House, May 10. The interest of the meeting was enhanced by the presence of a number of visitors, who gave inter- esting talks on the fields of their spe- cial endeavor. Among these were George F. Stahmer, president of the Fort Dearborn Coal Co.; E. W. McCollough and Mr. Sieber, coal men; B. E. Gage, landscape adviser and chairman of the conference committee of the Chicago Association of Commerce; Harry C. Mobley, chief of city garden movement, and Edward E. Newmann. The Association of Commerce. B. E. Gage, who was the first speaker, took under consideration the florists' place in the Association of Commerce. Until recently, he said, florists had been included in the miscellaneous division of the association, but because of the large amount of business done by them annually, the investments represented, etc., it was decided to put them in a subdivision of their own, whereby they could obtain better and more efficient service. B. Schiller was appointed chair- man of the committee, other members being Leonard Vaughan, H. Van Gelder, of Percy Jones, Inc., and B. F. Gage, then of Peterson's Nursery. Mr. Gage pointed out that the importance of this subdivision lay in the fact that when thus organized any matters concerning the good of the florists' trade, bills in- troduced at Springfield, etc., stood a much better chance of attention than they otherwise would. If the Florists' Club would throw weight behind this division, Mr. Gage suggested, a great deal more could be accomplished. K. Schiller was appointed chairman of a club committee to get new members into the Association of Commerce, he to choose four associates. Mr. Stahmer Talks Coal. George F. Stahmer was the next speaker. In referring to a coal mine, the purchase of which was roeently con- sidered by the club, he admonished that it was well to bo careful in this mat- ter, as it is a matter of common knowl- edge that coal mine owners all through the country are trying to unload their mines at the present time. In reviewing the coal situation as it is today, Mr. Stahmer pointed out the following facts: January 1, '1916, there was on hand 60,000,000 tons of soft coal. Dur- ing 1916 there was produced 509,000,000 tons, all of which was consumed during the year, so that April 1, 1917, there was practically no tonnage on hand, all the docks being swept clean, a condition which has not existed for many years. The coming year there will be needed about 600,000,000 tons of soft coal, the additional tonnage being required by the navy and foreign ships coaling here. Miners in the United States work on an average 230 days out of 300 possible working days, and they do only a cer- tain amount of work, no matter what pay they receive, the tendency being to work less in proportion as the wages are higher. Weather conditions do not enter into the coal situation, because the weather averages up about the same each year, as statistics show. There is at present, however, an exceptionally heavy demand because of the unusually cool month of May. Aside from this, the railroads are stocking up, the de- mands of the government are heavy, there are great shipments to the lakes for the docks, and factories are taking in coal heavily. Maximum prices con- sequently are prevailing. Tliese condi- tions will continue until June 1, when NOTICE The Issue of for MAY 31 Will go to press Tuesday, May 29, one day earlier than usual. This is because the regular press day, Wednesday, is a legal holiday. Consequently, those who want things printed in the issue of that week should see to it their letters reach the office of The Review MONDAY, MAY 28. the situation will undoubtedly ease up and prices consequently will be lower. The Time to Buy. Taking these facts into consideration, Mr. Stahmer suggested that it would be wise for florists to take in at present only enough coal to keep them going and to stock up between .June 10 and July 10. He further suggested that at times such as these it is unwise to change coal dealers if the firms dealt with last year proved reliable, for, he said, it is always unwise to swap horses in the middle of the stream. That those who pay their bills promptly always receive the best service and the lowest prices is an un- questioned fact, and he advised flo- rists to bear this in mind. Then, also, it is of great importance to be certain that the right kind and size of coal is being used, much money being lost an- nually because of mistakes in this im- ])ortant matter. To ascertain whether or not the right coal is being used, Mr. Stahmer suggested that it would be profitable to have blanks printed and distributed bearing suitable questions and have the secretary of the club or some committee get in touch with a few coal dealers on the subject, for, he con- cluded, the latter could save florists much money in this manner if they were given the opportunity. K. W. McCollougli and Mr. Sieber, who were next called on, endorsed what Mr. Stahmer liad said, stating that he had covered tlie situation, leaving noth- ing to add. The Garden Movement. Edward R. Newmann sjjoke on the garden movement, suggesting that flo- rists plant cabbages, lettuce and other vegetables in flats not now used. Gar- dening as a civic proposition, he said, should become a permanent thing. Harry C. Mobley followed with a few comments on the great need for dona- tions of vegetable plants. Although it is true, he said, that many who receive these plants might not make good use of them, many on the other hand would, and cooperation to relieve the national burden is needed. There are in Chicago 62,000 acres of land, he said, which have been surveyed by his division and which would be capable of producing $7,000,000 worth of food annually. If florists would help to ameliorate this condition by furnishing plants, he said that lie, through the machinery of his department, would be glad to undertake the distribution. Peter Reinberg, in endorsing Mr. Mobley 's suggestion, said he believes there is no florist in the vicinity of Chicago wlio would not be glad to help. As for himself, he said, he had already bought and planted seeds for this pur- pose at his greenhouses. George Asmus and Fred Lauten- schlager added a few words in approval of this movement, and upon the conclu- sion of the subject President Amling appointed Fred Lautenschlager as chair- man of a committee of five, other mem- bers to be selected by him, to foster this movement. Miscellaneous Business. Because of his illness, H. G. Maclellan, chairman of the coal committee, sent in a request asking to be relieved of his duties. Charles Hunt was appointed chairman to succeed him and E. Ollinger a member of the committee. Applications for membership were re- ceived from H. E. Humiston, of the Chicago Feed & Fertilizer Co., and from Frank Felke, Gross Point,. 111. Fred Lautenschlager reported a profit of $;j40 on the Mothers' dav posterette sales. The treasurer's report sliowed a bal- ance on hand April 1, of $550.64; re- ceipts for membership during April, $63; disbursements, $5.3.89, leaving a balance of $559.75 Mav 1. NEW YORK CLUB MEETING.

Superintendent Hogg, of Prospect park, Brooklyn, ex- hibited pelargoniums in variety, for which he received the club's thanks. P. W. l*opp's exhibit of pansies in many colors and of exceptional size was highly commended. M. Van Waveren & Sons, of Hillegom, Holland, showed an extensive variety of Darwin and single early tulips, narcissi, etc., grown by H. Langeler, of New Dorp, Staten Island. The firm announced that at this address in ten days they would have an extensive collection of Darwin, breeder and Rembrandt tulips in bloom and on exhibition. C. B. Weathered reported the spring flower show produced a net profit of about $3,500. Vice-president Fiesser reported a montli 's postponement of the meeting of the board of trustees. S. Van Riper, of Dundee Lake, N. J., was elected to membership and the fol- lowing names were proposed: D. J. Pappas, Erie Otton, R. M. Guide, Fred Bergman, John Fedtherstone and S. Kahn. The deaths of P. L. Bogart and Charles E. Weber were reported and the president was instructed to appoint committees to draw up suitable resolu- tions. A letter to the secretary from the Bureau of Employment and Department of Labor was read. It suggested garden work for women and girls during the continuance of the war. F. R. Pierson, chairman of the ways and means committee, announced the intention of raising $10,000 for the en- tertainment of the members of the S. A. F. and said he already had in a few hours raised $2,000. A. L. Miller re- ported progress for the S. A.

While tlic trade now is bending its energies toward ^lemorial day busi- ness, the success of Mothers' day is still fresh in the mind of every florist. And while it is fresh, it is opportune to call attention to a unique bit of advertising that can be used next year. A circular in the shape of a card was sent to all of his customers and to those wliose names he liad on his mailing list, by William C. Gloeckner, of Albany, N. Y., and was found to be a business- getter. On one side was a ruled space for an order. On the other was the following: "MotluMs' day — next Sunday. For the best mother that ever lived — your own, we are going to have two especial boxes at $1 each. "One will contain two large bunches of beautiful sweet peas, pink, lavender or white. "The other will consist of a dozen handsome roses, either pink, yellow or white, whichever you please. "Let us have your order as early as possible and tlie same will be delivered with your card the first thing Sunday morning. ' ' Enclosed with the circular was a card bearing in colors a bunch of sweet peas and at the top was printed "To Mother," with a space for a tender message to go with tlie flowers. Not only did this circular and card call attention to Mothers' day and the special boxes the florist had prepared, but it placed in the hands of the re- cipient the means of ordering and a card to send with the flowers. Retailers would do well to cut this out and paste it in the scrapbooks. Mothers' day will be a bigger selling day each year and suggestions of how to help bring the increase are valuable. NO WONDER IT GREW. It is several years since The Review first called the attention of the trade to the opportunity that lay in the new anniversary called Mothers' day and the effort to exploit the day has grown each year, but it has taken until 1917 to get the work adequately under way. This year,, for the first time, Mothers' day really has l»cen advertised. Al- most everywhere the trade has joined in the undertaking to make this a flower day of tlie first magnitude. Dozens of original ideas have been tried and it is no wonder the results 'have been far ahead of previous records. As an instance of one of the things that never have been done before, the nine members of the F. T. D. in Chi- cago ('hip]ied in to advertise to get some orders to send to F. T. D. mem- ])ers out of town. This is the way the ad read : FI.OWEUS FOn MOTHERS' DAT. Snnrt.ij', May 13.

THE ST. LOUIS COLISEUM. The members of the St. Louis Cham- ber of Commerce have voted overwhelm- ingly, 73 to 672, against continuing sup- port of the Coliseum. The announce- ment was made May 15, by Paul V. Bunn, secretary and general manager. The plans for the National Flower Show and S. A. F. convention at St. Louis in March, 1918, are imperiled by the financial status of the Coliseum there, which has been engaged for the event. It appears the building represents an investment of more than $350,000. Dur- ing the eight years the building has been in use it has been open 578 after- noons and 730 nights. Its gross earn- ings have been $320,418.88. The ex- pense of operation has been $149,129.85, with overhead expenses in the way of ground rent, interest, taxes, insurance, etc., of $202,337.27, a total of $351,- 467.12, leaving a deficit of $31,048.24, which has been met from time to time by subscription, part of the funds hav- ing been provided by the Chamber of Commerce. The directors of the com- pany feel that it is unjust that they should continue to personally indorse notes to meet the current deficits from time to time. They have appealed to the Chamber of Commerce to assume the responsibility of meeting future deficits of the Coliseum in the event they should occur. A committee of the Chamber of Commerce brought in two reports on the matter. The majority recommended that the Chamber of Commerce do not attempt to further finance the Coliseum company, while a minority recommended that the present small deficit be taken care of and the company financed until a new building is available. The ma- jority report has been sustained by a mail ballot of the members and it is said it will mean that the Coliseum will re- vert to the lessors of the ground and that it will be dismantled at once. The Coliseum has been engaged for a number of conventions, etc., which may not come to St. Louis if the building is not available. It was stated by the committee that acted for the Chamber of Commerce that the most important of these conventions is that of the So- ciety of American Florists, with its Na- tional Flower Show for the spring of 191S. It is liojjcd that .arrangements can be made whereby the building will not be demolished until another year has elapsed, but there are no plans to that end announced. TOO MUCH MUSTARD.

The Florists^ Review 23 OUR ALIBI IS ESTABLISHED In a recent Issue The Review stated that the trade is justified in opposing tlie absolute quarantine now being advocated, for tlie reason that dangerous insects or dis- eases Imve come to tliis country otlierwise tliau with tlie plants, bulbs and seeds cus- tomarily imported by the trade. In this letter Entomologist Fracker proves the trutli of that statement, although such was not his purpose. Y attention has been at- tracted to an editorial in a recent issue of The Review entitled ' ' We Have an Al- ibi." In this editorial the statement is made: ' ' None of the devastating diseases, not one of the injurious in- sects, came to this country on stock imported by florists, nurserymen or seedsmen. We have a perfect alibi." As this statement is incorrect in fact and still more so in implication, I hope that you will consider the following statements worthy of publication in your valued periodical. The plant material handled by flo- rists and nurserymen may be roughly grouped into evergreen and deciduous shade trees, citrus and rosaceous fruits and greenhouse plants. For each of these five groups one insect or one dis- ease, or both, stands out as being pre- eminently destructive. Dangers to Shade Trees, The greatest danger being caused at the present time in the United States to deciduous shade trees by any fun- gous disease is that caused by the chest- nut blight, which authorities say will in time completely wipe out the chest- nuts of the eastern United States. This blight was introduced by a nursery company, with headquarters at Chicago, on a dwarf chestnut tree from Asia. From its original location it spread both by natural means and by the assistance of nur- serymen. The most seri- ous insect pests of, this class of material dare the gypsy and brown-tail moths, which, while they were not brought in for the first time by nurserymen, have been introduced re- peatedly by them in recent years and have become es- tablished in various locali- ties west of the Hudson river, owing to such intro- duction. It has only been by the most radical meth- ods of destruction and con- trol that these western out- breaks have been checked. It was our good fortune that information in regard to the remarkably serious nature of these moths be- came so widespread before they were introduced by the importation of plants that every effort was made to control the outbreaks elsewhere. A disease which is al- ready the most serious one affecting any evergreen tree in New Englj^nd, and which, if uncontrolled, is likely to make the grow- ing of white pine abso- lutely impossible in the northern and eastern United States, is the white pine blister. This is almost, if not quite, completely distributed throughout the New England states, Massachusetts being most severely attacked. It is a disease for the control of which the last Congress appropriated $300,000 and bills totaling more than this sum are now pending before state legislatures. These amounts indicate how important this Asiatic fungus is considered by those who have seen its work. Origin of White Pine Blister. From Asia the white pine blister was brought to Germany by two German nurseries and it has been shipped by them to a large number of different nurseries in this country, including sev- eral on whose grounds it has been es- tablished in New York, others in Penn- sylvania and others in Connecticut. It was introduced into Wisconsin and Minnesota by one shipment to a Wis- consin man through a large Illinois firm that imported directly from Ger- many, and by another shipment to a Minnesota nurseryman, the origin of which has not yet been determined. No imported insect stands out as be- ing strikingly injurious to evergreen trees. The one which promises to be the most serious is the pine shoot moth, Evetria buoliana, which has become es- tablished in New Jersey and Long Isl- and through importations from Europe THE TRADE'S ATTITUDE [As stated by a committee of the S. A. F.] During the last few years a small group of entomologists have been agitating for a quarantine on importations. A resolution, broad in character, requesting the Federal Hor- ticultural Board to take action, failed of their purpose and the American Forestry Association was appealed to. This body has gone on record as favoring "the principle of abso- lute quarantine on plants, trees and nursery stock." The legislative committee of the S. A. F, has prepared a brief in which it is declared that: Such legislation, even if it were modified, is quite unnecessary, and would injuriously affect the interests of the great majority of S, A. F. members. It would not only stop the importation of such raw materials as valley pips, Japanese lily bulbs, Manetti stock, Dutch bulbs, etc., but aza- leas, bay trees and every kind of nursery stock. It would stop the impor- tations of palms, also the seeds with which to grow them; of dracaenas, also the canes necessary to produce the plants ourselves. It would stop the importation of new varieties of roses, chrysanthemums, begonias, ferns, etc. It would put a Chinese wall around these United States in a horti- cultural sense, followed no doubt later by a similar wall around each state. Comparatively few of our state entomologists or inspectors favor this panicky legislation. They realize that new or dangerous insect pests or plant diseases can come only from remote parts of the world, from which no commercial importations come. They realize that florists and nursery- men import almost exclusively from Europe and civilized countries which have a most efiB.cient inspection service. That importations are now made only under the closest restrictions, that each shipment is in- spected before shipment and again at final destination, that a permit must be secured to make each importation and that to each package must be attached a tag showing all inspection details to the Federal Horticultural Board, which has almost arbitrary control over plant importations, includ- ing the power of quarantine. Besides, if any stray bugs should come they are known ones and the remedy for them known also. to New Jersey and New York nurseries. On citrus trees the citrus canker, which has resulted in the complete de- struction of many thousands of dollars' worth of citrus^ orchards in the south- ern states, stands out above all others. While its origin is not definitely known, the nurserymen by no means "have an alibi ' ' in regard to it. No suggestion has been made by nurserymen or any others that it could have been intro- duced in any otiier way. We do know that it was introduced into Florida on nursery stock from Texas and probably from Japan, and that it spread by means of shipments of nursery stock. Whatever its method of introduction into this country was, it must have come in on growing citrus stock im- ported either by a nurseryman or some- one else acting in the capacity of a nurseryman at the time. Scale on Citrus Trees. The two serious insect pests of citrus in California, according to California Experiment Station Bulletins 222 and 223, are the black scale and the red or orange scale. Of these the first is a European species, the date and method of introduction into this country being unknown. Th red scale, Chrysomplialus aurantii Mask., seems to be a Chinese species which was introduced probably not more than half a century ago into Aus- tralia and New Zealand. It arrived in this country in one of the "hothouses" of San Francisco, and an infested tree was sold by a florist to a certain L. J. Rose, thus being intro- duced into San Gabriel, Cal. At the same time six infested lemon trees were hrouglit from Australia by Don ^lateo Keller, although it does not appear whether this second gentleman named was a nurseryman or not. At any rate, the florist's connection with the case does not seem to be doubtful. The only seriously de- structive, widespread, in- troduced insect attacking rosaceous fruits whose origin is known is the San Jose scale. This is the only dangerous insect concerning whose introduction nursery- men actually do have an "alibi," so far as I am aware. In this case the only factor for which the nurserymen seem to be re- sponsible consists in the efficient distribution of the pest to all parts of the United States. It is particularly diffi- 24 The Florists^ Review May 17, 1917. cult to trace the origin df the insect pests affecting florists' stock, for this material is shipped rather freely from greenhouse to greenhouse in other states and other counfries. We do hai)pen to know tlie origin of the two orcliid-iu- festing insects, Cholus cattleya; and Isosoma orchidearum, both of which were introduced by florists from South America. As the white fly is also a greenhouse insect which was known for years in Europe before being found in the United States, it is believed to have been introduced by florists. While tliere is no ])roof, the florists certainly do not have an ''alibi" in regard to it. If Restrictions Were Eemoved. The editorial concerned is, however, more important in its implication than in its actual statement. One could easily draw the apparent conclusion of the gentleman who called tlie editorial to my attention, that since nurserymen and florists are not ' ' in any way re- sponsible for any of our present troubles," the free introduction of plant material from outside the United States is permissible and would not re- sult in injury. Tliat this conclusion is far from the facts in the case is shown by the published lists of insects and diseases being intercepted each season on nursery stock and other plants. These lists show the introduction of the gypsy moth and the brown-tail moth in large numbers, the appearance of the larva of the narcissus fly in bulbs from England, citrus canker on citrus from .lava and the Philippine Islands, the European pine shoot moth on many shipments from Holland, and hundreds of insects whose powers of injury in this country are as yet unknown. In most cases these insects are being Inought into this country in sufficient numbers to ma^ce their establisliment al- most certain if they were not inter- cepted, and there is every probability that a single importation of any new disease of the rank of tlie wliite pine blister or citrus canker or chestnut blight or the new poplar disease, which has just arrived, would result in an out- break in this country, becoming dis- astrous in time if not checked.

The coming Memorial day will un- questionably be the greatest we ever have had, on account of the martial spirit that is now prevailing. People may talk economy and will no doubt practice it in many ways, but I make the prediction that sales of flowers for Memorial day will break all records. The great question is whether we shall have the flowers necessary for our cus- tomers at anything like reasonable prices. Over a large part of the United States the season is and has been cold, sunless and late, and outdoor crops which can ordinarily be depended upon will be unobtainable. Such greenhouse crops as gypsophila, feverfew, stocks, candytuft, lilies, spirteas, irises, gladioli, etc., are necessarily late and every ef- fort should be made at once to hurry these laggards. Most of them will stand a brisk heat for a few days, pro- vided they can have a little cooling off before the crops are cut. Candytuft, for instance, if given some shade, can be forced hard and not damaged. Of course bulbous plants, such as gladioli and irises, in addition to spiraeas, will stand a lot of heat. Kemember that flowers such as those named are valua- ble for Memorial day, but have poor sales later. Dutch bulbous flowers that are still in cellars or pits can be held in good condition unless hot weather intervenes. Darwin tulips promise to be specially useful this season. In the more north- erly states these latter bulbs will hardly be in season, but farther south, where ordinarily they have passed as an out- door crop, they will be in season. Flow- ers cut before being too much expanded will keep for several days in a cold cellar. Home trade with retailers is strong for Memorial day and every ef- fort should be made to get as large a stock of flowers as possible at home, for wholesale prices will undoubtedly be high. Aquatic Plants. Aquatic gardening shows a steady increase. People are appreciating more and more the value and beauty of water plants. In the smallest of home grounds it is easily possible to make a small con- crete pond or sink half barrels in the ground. On some grounds natural ponds may exist. In such the nelumbiums, or nymphffas, can be planted out in rich mud. In concrete tanks or ponds, boxes or tubs can be sunk, containing a mix- ture of good fibrous loam and cow manure. I have used boxes made of 'J-inch plank, fourteen inches deep and three feet square, in tanks to good ad- vantage. If the pools are smaller and more shallow, smaller boxes can be used, but the water should cover them to a depth of two or three inches. After ])lanting the nympha^as, give the sur- faces of the boxes a coating of coarse sand. This will help to prevent the compost from discoloring the water. Such nymphaeas as odorata; odorata rosea, the Cape Cod pink pond lily; odorata sulphurea, and all the Marliacea hybrids, especially chromatella, albida and rosea, are good; so are the varieties of N. Laydekeri. For little pools, aquariums or tubs try N. pygmeea, which carries great numbers of flowers, two to two and one-half inches in diameter. Nelumbium speciosum, the Egyptian lotus, is the hardiest and most easily grown of the lotus family. It can be grown in half barrels, but to be seen at its best should be planted out in rich mud. In such compost it will make surprisingly strong growth. Keep some fish in all aquatic pools, to keep the larvae of mosquitoes and other insects in subjection. A few desirable miscellaneous aquat- ics to use are: Cyperus alternifolius; Limnanthemum indicum, or water snow- flake; Eichhornia aurea, or water hya- cinth; Aponogeton distachyus, or cape pond weed; Pontederia cordata, or l)ickerel weed; Limnocharis Humboldtii, or water poppy; Myriophyllum proser- pinacoides, or parrot's feather; Pel- tandra virginica, or water arum; Pistia Stratiotes, or water lettuce, and Zizania aquatica, or wild rice. Water gardening is one of the pleas- ing forms of gardening, and nothing gives greater satisfaction during the hot months. The florist who has a small pond or tank near his home, in which some of the nymphseas and miscella- neous aquatics can be grown, will find this is a splendid way to advertise this branch of floriculture, which has won- derful possibilities before it. Winter-Flowering Begonias. If you carried over any Lorraine, Cin- cinnati, Melior or Mrs. Peterson be- gonias, they will now be sending up a good crop of cuttings from the base, if they were headed back and rested as advised some time ago. These cuttings are succulent and will root readily now. They never make big, bushy plants, like those raised from leaf cuttings, but will be fine for small pots and the de- mand for these invariably exceeds the supply. Keep the earlier begonias potted along before they can become ])otbound. Use plenty of flaky leaf- mold in their compost and give them a night temperature of 55 to 60 degrees, with only a moderate amount of shade. The plants will persist in flowering. Keep the flowers picked off, to relieve the plants. Stevias. Are you sure you have an adequate stock of stevias for next season? If not, you still can root some cuttings and have nice stock before fall. The plan generally adopted with stevias is to ])lant outdoors, dig up and pot in the fall. For the country florist who plans to grow a few dozen plants a good plan is to grow them in pots right through the season, plunging the pots to their brims in a bed of coal ashes. This means some additional watering, but insures splendid plants in the fall, and the work of digging up, potting, shading and getting the plants established is entirely saved. Bouvardias. About the end of May is a safe time to ]»lant out bouvardias in an open, sunny spot where there is a light but rich soil. In the case of B. Humboldtii, plants of which usually are carried over for several years, I find it best to keep this stock tolerably dry for several months after blooming and shake out and jirune back the plants before set- ting them out. The shoots are also re- duced in number when a few inches long; then there are few blind growths. There will be many flowerless shoots if disbudding is not practiced. I only figure on leaving bouvardias outdoors about nine or ten weeks. In that time they make a surprising growth and they can be either potted or benched when lifted. Mai 17, 1917. The Florists^ Review 25 wood was used for the cuttings, not hard stumps, they should come out iu a satisfactory condition. I have never rooted Beauties outside and so will not attempt to give directions for that. It is now too late to root Beauties for this year's planting, as it would be im- possible to produce good plants by fall or to get good returns in any way for the labor. Richard Salm. AMERICAN ROSE SOCIETY. June 1 has been set aside for the an- nual outdoor meeting of the American Eose Society at the National Eose Test Garden, Arlington Farms, Washington, D. C. Appropriate exercises have been arranged, including addresses by J. Horace McFarland, by a member of the Department of Agriculture, by an ap- pointee of the Citizens' Association, which is federated, and others. All in the trade are cordially invited to be present, as the rose garden, containing now between 400 and 500 varieties, promises to be at its best. Eobert Pyle, Chairman, Washington Eose Garden Committee. MB. BUETTNEB'S SEEDLINGS. Nearly everyone who keeps in touch with trade affairs knows Eniil Buettner, of Park Eidge, 111., as one of the most astute men in the business. He is rec- ognized as careful, keen, conservative, a good grower, one of the best of flower show judges, a forceful man who, while he came originally from Hanover, has many of the traits of the Missourian. Probably there is no grower who de- pends less on guesswork. It is well known, also, that Mr. Buettner was one of the first of the large growers for the Chicago market to prove that car- nations do not repay careful culture as well as roses do. Of course he dropped carnations and his range of 200,000 feet has been all in roses for several years. Mr. Buettner was the first large Chi- cago grower to drop Beauty, years ago; to drop Bride and Maid, to cut out Eich- mond, to jettison White Killarney, and now the whole Killarney tribe soon will know his place no more. These facts are a matter of common knowledge among the men who see, or listen, and remember. But it is not a matter of everyday information that Emil Buettner has become infected with the contagion that has spread among our best men so rapidly of late — he has taken to wielding the camel 's-hair. It really is not so new, as heretofore the results have not been such as. to attract attention, but now there are about 200 seedlings at Park Eidge that no keen-eyed visitor will overlook. The mothers of the broods, for there are two of them, are Sunburst and Ophelia, the latter being the variety on which nine-tenths of the rose seeds have been grown in America the last three years. Mr. Buettner may never send out a novelty. He is not one of those who think, because a thing is his, it is than anything else on earth; he it for what it really is. But if it happen that of the 200 seedling something should develop that he be willing to send out with his the Buettner rose will get as wide as any first-year rose ever sent America. better knows should plants would name, a trial out iu BEAUTY CUTTINGS TURN BLACK. Can you tell us what makes our Beauty cuttings in the sand turn black? Is it possible that improper watering, either too much moisture or not enough, is the cause of this trouble? We in- tend to put a batch of Beauty cuttings in a hotbed outdoors. Would you ad- vise us to use pure sand for these, or a mixture of sand and soil? If we can use soil mixed with sand, how often should the cuttings be watered? Should they be sprayed every day until they liave calloused? Should they be kept air-tight? How about shading? J. S.— 111. SPORT OF TAUSENDSCHON. The question of whether or not Tau- sendschon sport blooms as freely as the parent plant is answered in the accom- ])anying illustration, made from a pho- tograph of a 100-foot bench in a green- house of R. Witterstaotter, Cincinnati, O. Tliey were planted June 25, 1916, from 2 1/4 -inch pots, for the purpose of propagating. The j)lants were propa- gated the first week iu January and rooted in a cool house at a temperature of about 45 degrees. The old plants were started up witli the Easter pot plants of mixed roses and came, a mass of blooms, a week later. This variety seems to have a little more vigor than the original Tausendschon, Mr. Witter- staotter says. This new Rose Tausend- schon sport was exhibited by Mr. Wit- terstaotter at the 1916 show of the American Eose Society and he was awarded a silver medal on it. Since that time there has been a great demand for it as nurservmen 's stock. The inquiry says nothing about the temperature in which the cuttings were rooted. If the Beauty cuttings were run at 64 to 66 degrees of bottom heat, with plenty of drainage, they should have had water every other day. Under such treatment they would begin to callous in ten days.

Recent action of the Iowa legislature in passing a resolution urging the en- forcement of the so-called "blue laws," which provide for the closing of business establishments on Sunday, will probably force florists to stop keep- ing their stores open on that day. If this be tlie result, it will have the ap- proval of the Des Moines Florists' Asso- ciation, which has tried to get the retail- ers to close on Sunday by agreement, but has been unsuccessful because all would not consent. Discussing the action of the legisla- ture and its effect on the trade, M. Kurtzweil, president of the Iowa Seed Co., said: * ' Our Sunday laws for years have been ignored. Recently the Seventh Day Advcntists wanted the laws re- pealed. This brought about a discus- sion, which ended in a resolution being passed by the legislature urging the enforcement of the existing laws, and now an attempt will be made to do so. "Our local Florists' Association has tried to get all the Des Moines shops to close Sundays, but a few refused. We deliver our orders Sunday morning and close as early as possible, usually in plenty of time for our help to attend church. ' ' AMERICAN DAHLIA SOCIETY. Meeting of Executive Committee. A meeting of the executive commit- tee of the American Dahlia Society was held at the Grand hotel, New York, May 10. President Richard Vincent, Jr., presided, and there were present George L. Stillman, George W. Kerr, James Duthie, J. J. Lane and Secretary J. Harrison Dick. The minutes of the March meeting were read and approved. Arising out of these, it was proposed that a rule be inserted in the schedule governing the next show, making it essential that all flowers exhibited in the competitive classes of the society's exhibition be grown by the exhibitors. This rule does not apply to non-competitive dis- plays. Tlie statement of accounts was passed. The New York show was considered. This will be held in conjunction with the American Institute, in the Engineering building, New York, September 25 to 27. It was resolved, on the proposition of J. J. Lane, seconded by George L. Stillman, that an appropriation be set aside for the necessary expenses of the show committee, which consists of the president and the secretary. It was agreed that seven silver and five bronze medals be struck for the needs of the society and its affiliated organizations. The secretary was empowered to pro- duce an 8-page bulletin for use in the middle of July. It was agreed that from June 1 all new subscriptions paid in should be credited to September, 1918. Proposed Dahlia Manual. It was agreed that two silver and two bronze medals be offered as extra prizes at the dahlia show of the New Haven, Conn., Horticultural Society September 19 and 20, in the name of the A. D. S. An invitation from Prof. Hall, to have the classification commit- tee and interested members visit the dahlia trials at Geneva, N. Y., in Sep- tember, was favorably considered.^ Dis- cussion was made of the desirability of publishing Prof. Hall's list of 6,400 dahlia names, with classifications and descriptions. An estimate for the print- ing of this list, in a 48-page pamphlet and cover, in 7-point type, had been given, the figure being $350 for 1,000 copies. It was the expressed opinion tliat as the society's funds did not war- rant this expenditure, and as such a list would require periodic revision, its pub- lication by the society was not justified. Moreover, the society had a proposition from Mr. Lane, representing Doubleday, Page & Co., that there was a possi- bility of that company's publishing a special dahlia manual, an amplification of part of the June issue of the New Country Life, which will be largely de- voted to dahlias, and that Prof. Hall's list may possibly be included as part of such a manual. It was resolved, therefore, that the society could not see its way to publish the list now. This is the last committee meeting held before the show. J. Harrison Dick, Sec'y. NEW YORK. The Market. The business in all its branches was greatly increased by the tremendous welcoming demonstrations given the representatives of France and England. Especially were the leading green- houses benefited, the displays using near- ly the entire stock of cold storage ever- greens, laurel and wild smilax. The shipments of roses continue about normal, and the demand is about equal to the supply. Apart from some notable banquets to the distinguished visitors, there was no special call up5n the wholesale market. The demands of Mothers' day seemed confined to carnations, and of these only the white varieties were popular or brought abnormal prices. Philadelphia buyers came to this market the last part of the week and purchased every white carnation they could lay their hands on at $80 per thousand. One New York wholesaler said he realized $100 for 1,100 flowers, and a few ac- knowledged sales in small quantities at $10 per hundred. The advance orders had to be filled and protests against the advance to 8 cents were many. The New York public is thoroughly in sympathy with the sentiment of the day, but is unchangeably adverse to any unreasonable rise in prices. If the dog- matic exclusion of all carnations but the white ones for Mothers' day had not 1)een so persistently demanded, the whole country would have entered "heart and soul" into the recognition of all the day is intended to commemo- rate. It is predicted that carnations will not sell above 4 cents from now until Memorial day. American Beauty, Hadley and Brun- nor roses are selling at about the same prices as last week, 25 cents being top and $2 to $3 per hundred for the twos and threes. Saturday $15 per thousand was the lowest quotation for the short- stemmed stock of any variety. There was no oversupply, but 6 cents to 8 cents was top for the best of the standard varieties. Prima Donna, Russell, Hoosier Beauty and Ophelia roses seem to lose none of their popularity. Valley is going down in price. The old quotation of 8 cents to 10 cents was unpopular, 6 cents being the top for the week, and there was no surplus of the best. Lilies averaged 8 cents. There will be a slowly rising market for these until Memorial day. The shipments of gardenias were lighter and good flowers are firm at $3 per dozen. The street men have only sweet peas, daffodils and lilac to depend on. With some warm, sunny weather they soon will be having roses to add to their stock. Peonies are arriving from the south. Sweet peas, daisies, irises, stocks, tulips, snapdragon and mignonette are in abundance. This week will be lilac week before it ends, if the prophets are reliable. There are not enough orchids in the market. Selected cattleyas were selling at 60 cents May 12. The average price for good flowers was 50 cents and these were few. Medium grades are down to 30 cents and under. The local supply of lilac is still limited. Not much is arriving from the south, but a flood is expected in a short time. Forsythia held its place last week as the "early bird. ' ' It was especially beautiful this year and was freely used in large deco- rations. In fact, it is about the only blooming evidence of spring. Up to date we have had no spring at all. The oldest wholesaler says he can remember no such backward season. Various Notes. Meyer Otile, of Riedel & Meyer, is serving his country as a juror. A special meeting of the board of trustees of the Florists' Club was held at the secretary's office May 14. All arrangements are complete for the Sixth International Flower Show at the Grand Central Palace, March 14 to 21, 1918. The members of the com- mittee are: T. A. Havemeyer, chair- man; John Young, secretary; F. R. Newbold, treasurer; Arthur Herring- ton, exhibition manager. The early morning flower and plant market is in full swing at East Fifty- ninth street, under the Queensboro bridge. The new store of llerman Weiss at 130 West Twenty-eighth street is now complete. The large icebox is a special feature. Mr. Weiss has added to his force and reports business encouraging. H. W. Gallaer, of the George W. Crawbuck Co., has returned to his of- fice after a severe attack of pleurisy. The Cadjean Co. had a large wedding decoration last week. There was a special exhibit in the big store at 37 West Twenty-eighth street. The window of Malandre Bros, last week was a wonder. In addition to a large shield in the center were the flags of France and England, all in natural flowers, and back of all was a represen- tation of the Goddess of Liberty, hold- ing in her outstretched hands the palms of victory and peace. The arrange- ment was the work of a master hand, and "It pays" was the modest com- ment of the firm. Messrs. Burnett and Thom, salesmen for Burnett Bros., have been promoted to the rank of corporal and sergeant, respectively, in their regiment, the Fourth of New Jersey. The Barclay Nursery Co. has had a profitable season, as the doubling of the selling space at 60 Barclay street indicates. J. Austin Shaw. North Bergen, N. J. — Henry Schmidt has developed a compact strain of Prim- ula obconica that finds much favor in the stores. May 17, 1917. The Florists^ Review 27 Head Lettuce Can be Grown One Plant to Each Square Foot and With Commercial Fertilizer Only. EARLY OUTDOOR VEGETABLES. Growers Get Good Returns. Probably never since the indoor grow- ing of vegetables assumed important proportions has there been a greater de- mand at better prices than during the last few months. The result has been that many growers of flowers and plants set apart a portion of their houses for vegetables and also have begun the cultivation of early outdoor vegetables, which seem sure to bring profitable returns. There are many reasons why the growing of vegetables has yielded well this year. Prices of meat are higher than in a great many years; the same applies to practically everything that goes on the table of the American fam- ily. Consequently, even with fresh veg- etables, both indoor and southern-grown, at high prices, thoy have been as eco- nomical as other foodstuffs not so de- sirable. As an example of this, potatoes may be cited. Throughout the winter, the 1916 crop retailed in the larger cities at around $3 per bushel. This price was maintained despite the hue and cry it raised. Thus wlien the southern-grown new potatoes appeared, the price, though slightly higher than for old potatoes, did not scare the housewife and the demand lias been such as to consume the supply, which, in. Florida, was the greatest in the history of the state. Demand Has Increased. Lettuce, tomatoes, radishes and other vegetables grown indoors have met with this same demand. Although the pro- duction during the later winter and the spring months was greater than ever before, there has been no glut. Prices have held up to a point where there was a good profit in them for the growers and the consumers have purchased freely. May 12 is late in the season for indoor vegetables and the southern crop, with few exceptions, has taken their place in the northern markets. The following prices at Chicago, 111., on that date will show what the grower of outdoor vege- tables has been getting: Rcets, per bbl $2.50 to $5.00 Radishes, per hamper 50 to .7r) Carrots, per bbl 2..50 to 4. .50 Spinaeli, per bbl 3.00 to 0..50 Cabbage, 100 lbs 5.00 to G.50 Onions, per crate 2.00 to 2.25 New potatoes, per bbl 9.50 'J'omatoos, per crate 3.50 to 4.00 With prices holding up as they have, there will continue to be a big produc- tion of early outdoor vegetables. And it seems certain that prices for these vegetables will continue good. The amateur who this year is planting a gar- den cannot compete as to time of ma- turity with the professional. His crop will not be ready until after the com- mercial crop has been harvested and marketed. Must Beat the Amateur. The immense production that inten- sive and intelligent cultivation can bring is demonstrated in the accom- ]ianying illustration showing a field of lettuce on the farm of the late George F. Fish at Middletown, N. Y. Indoor- grown plants put outdoors at the earli- est possible date give the commercial grower a start on the amateur that means much in cash returns. Secretary Houston, of the Depart- ment of Agriculture, asserts that the maximum food production in the United States this year will no more than take care of the needs of this country and its allies in the war. And at the same time he says that there is little likeli- hood of a maximum production. There- fore, with all the back yard gardens and tl-~ ".ampaign for a maximum food pro- duction by the farmers, there seems to be little probability of lower prices dur- ing the next year and the commercial vegetable grower can feel certain that he will get prices that will insure him a good profit on everything he produces. VEGETABLE SEEDLINGS DYING. We are having trouble with our to- mato, pepper and egg plants. We trans- planted them in flats and they seemed to be all right, but now they are dying off. We liave not overwatered them. Can you tell us the cause of the trouble f Enclosed you will find some of the af- fected tomato plants. H. W. A.— N. Y. The seedlings were completely dried up when received. There has either been something harmful in the soil or tlie watering has not been properly done. Have you, perhaps unintention- ally, put your seedlings in soil contain- ing any chemical fertilizer? If so, that in itself would account for their dying. A too low temperature would also be harmful. Tomato, egg and pepper plants require a warm house, not below ~>~) degrees at night while the plants are small, and 60 degrees would be better. A too heavy soil would also be unsuit- able for these seedlings and would cause damping off. Temperature, soil and watering are all to be considered; also, necessary shading, after transplanting has been done. C. W. Ashtabula, O.— With coal in minimum supply and at maximum prices, many of the smaller vegetable growers have practically decided to grow crops run- ning into the cold season, then close down until spring. This is a regrettable decision, as every range counts at this time. 28 The Florists^ Review May 17, 1917. INDIANAPOLIS. ROCHESTER, N. Y. The Market. The week started off well, with warmer weather and sunshine, and present indica- tions are that stock will be more abun- dant. Prices of carnations range from $2 to $3 and roses make $2 to $10. Lilies are rather scarce, having been in large demand for funeral work. The large gladioli are making their appearance and are welcomed at $1.50 per dozen, whUe Peach Blossom brings $5 per hundred. Darwin tulips are to be had at $4 and $5 per hundred ; the other varieties are gone. The prospects for outdoor stock for Memorial day are poor. The green sup- ply has loosened up considerably. Mothers' Day Business. Mothers ' day was a huge success as far as demand was concerned, but shortage of stock prevented it from being the largest day of the year. Carnations were extremely scarce and, as usual, the cry was for them. The white ones brought $10 per hundred wholesale, with the colored ones bringing $8. Eoses were more plentiful, but the supply was in no way equal to the demand. Sweet peas were especially popular for table decora- tions and corsage bouquets. Mothers' day tnis year was widely ad- vertised, not only by the florists but also by confectioners, telegraph offices, etc. It is felt that this day is becoming greater each year and that its rapid growth is principally due to the efforts of florists. A conspicuous and attractive full-page advertisement in a local news- paper included the governor's proclama- tion for Mothers' day. These and other advertisements proved so effective that twice as much stock could have been sold. Several weddings brought valley and orchids iuto favor, even at such prices as $9 per dozen for orchids and $6 per hun- dred for valley. Fancy gift baskets, which experienced a good sale, were attractively filled with the daintier flowers, including sweet peas, valley, daisies, delphiniums, snapdragons and roses. Snapdragons were the most plen- tiful flowers in the market, but they were cleaned up. Potted plants held a prominent place, with rose bushes, spiraeas, Easter lilies, hydrangeas, lilacs and pelargoniums the leading sellers. Sunday night the stores were abso- lutely bare of flowers; the windows were just settings of green. Various Notes. Homer Wiegand has added a new alligator to his collection. It is a fine, large one, weighing about 160 pounds. These pets are exhibited in one of the windows of the conservatory and attract great attention. Announcement has been made of the marriage of Miss Charline Temperley. A. F. J. Baur's three children have been sick with the chicken pox. Charles Boehne recently broke his finger while cranking an automobile. The season for bedding stock has not yet opened and it is the opinion of most of the tradesmen that most of this stock will be moved in June. The Bertermann Bros. Co. reports a wonderful Mothers' day business. It was necessary to close the store twice on account of lack of stock. The tele- graph and mail orders were absolutely the largest on record for the company. E. E. T. The Market, r.^ Business was unusually slack during the first part of last week, but during the second half it was more than good and made up for the slow days. Mothers ' day appears to be more popular than ever. A good deal of advertising for the day undoubtedly was responsible for the splendid trade everybody en- joyed. The telegraph delivery system also is growing and a large number of orders were sent and received. The weather is not at all favorable. The little sunshine makes it hard for the gardeners to make much headway, and most of the stores are swamped with orders for outdoor work. Bedding stock is in, but does not move fast. Nursery stock is selling well at this time. The market is well stocked with roses, which sell well, particularly the shorter and medium grades. Fine Shawyer and Russell roses are observed, as well as Hoosier Beauty and Milady. It was a difficult proposition to get all the carna- tions one needed for Mothers' day. They were good in size of bloom and length of stem, most of them retailing at $1.50 per dozen. Sweet peas in pink and blush white are plentiful, but the lavender ones are scarce. They have sold well. Long-stemmed snapdragons sell wonderfully well and fine Spanish irises meet with a good demand. Ger- man stock is used largely in funeral work. Easter and calla lilies continue plentiful. Daisies sell well, as do pansies and forget-me-nots. Mignon- ette moves well. Large quantities of jonquils are in the market and sell easily. Various Notes. R. E. Blackshaw, of the A. L. Randall Co., Chicago, called on the trade this week. A large map of the United States, with tags for the principal cities of the country, was the main attraction of the Mothers' day display at the store of the Rochester Floral Co. - A picture of a mother surrounded by flowers was seen in the window of George T. Boucher. Edwin C. Kaelber also had a suitable window display. 8. J. Koester has left the Rochester office of the Lord & Burnham Co. and returned to Pittsburgh. F. R. Bohnke reports business much better than in any previous year. He has had a large quantity of funeral work and has purchased a new delivery auto. The general committee in charge of the June peony show in Convention hall is making plans for a banner exhibition. Edwin C. Kaelber, Inc., is respon- sible for the elaborate decorations of palms and flowers at the new dental dispensary, a magnificent building pre- sented to the city by George Eastman. The sympathy of the trade is ex- tended to Mrs. E. P, Wilson in the loss of her mother, who died at Dr. Barber 's hospital May 8, at the age of 68. Crooke, the Florist, of Mount Hope avenue, has been busy of late with fu- neral work. He is taking many orders for bedding stock, for use in the ceme- tery near his store. James Vick's Sons continue to dis- pose of larger quantities of seeds than ever before. Business this season is far ahead of their anticipations. The mail order business, which has become extremely large, has suffered consider- ably of late because shipments cannot be made fast enough. An added force of workers soon will remedy this. H. J. H. Ashtabula, O.— The Tong & Weeks Co. has been busy with funeral work, and so- cial functions have called for about the usual amount of decorations. Herbert Tong is to be found at the new place, which is ably run by the junior Tong. Chester, N. J. — One of the junior members of the firm of F. W. Rochelle & Sons sailed for France May 15 with a Red Cross division. Orange, N. J. — John E. Collins re- ceived his new delivery car in time for the Easter rush and put it to a severe test in handling the record-breaking business. Madison, N. J. — The Villa Lorraine Greenhouses have been leased by An- thony Ruzicka, who until recently was employed at the Rowayton, Conn., establishment of Traendly & Schenck, the New York wholesalers. WestvUle, N. J. — Five greenhouses, two barns and several buildings, all the property of Louis C. Duncan, were gutted by fire last week, entailing a loss estimated at $10,000. The flames were first discovered in one of the barns, but before the fire companies gained control the high wind had carried the flames to the greenhouses and other buildings. Mr. Duncan's residence was saved. Magnolia, N. J. — A. F. Wallace has succeeded J. B. Goostrey in the owner- ship of the Magnolia greenhouses and is stocking the houses with young plants. Madison, N. J. — Duckham-Pierson Co. is the corporate title of a concern re- cently reorganized here, to deal "in flowers and agricultural products, tim- ber, steel, etc. ' ' The authorized capital is $400,000 and Lincoln Pierson, Wil- liam H. Duckham, M. N. Pierson and Mary Duckham are tlie incorporators. New Brunswick, N. J. — The florists have employed a novel scheme recently to increase the sale of flowers, which apparently were in large supply at the time, by placing displays in most of the stores on one of the principal streets. The idea was that flowers in so many windows on one st/eet could not but help to increase the sales and popularize the flowers. The dealers in nearly all lines of merchandise were only too glad to give the florists window space. The names of the florists also appeared in the windows. Each flower or plant was labeled. May 17, 1917. The Florists^ Review 29 OBITUARY Francis P. South. Francis P. South, a member of the Kirkman Nursery Co., of Fresno, Cal., died April 29, following a week's ill- ness. He was born in Lee county, Iowa, in 1871, and spent most of his early life in that state. Coming to California in 1888, he and his mother located near Eeedley, in Fresno county, where they engaged in farming. Mr. South then purchased a vineyard near Clovis, which was his home for seventeen years. Five years ago, after having been associated with the Kirkman Nursery Co. for two years, he purchased a half interest in that concern. From that time on he was secretary and treasurer of the com- pany and had charge of its work in Fresno, Madera and Merced counties. S. H. G. Horace Lloyd. Dr. Horace Lloyd, liead of the Shackelford Nursery Co., of St. Louis, Mo., died May 9 at his home in Shackel- ford, a suburb of St. Louis. He had suffered a paralytic stroke about ten days previously. He was a graduate l^hysician and was well known among the members of the trade as ' ' Doc ' ' Lloyd. Dr. Lloyd was born in England fifty years ago and came to this country when he was a boy. He leaves a widow. The funeral was held from the home May 11 and the burial was in Walhalla cemetery. Many beautiful floral de- signs were sent by members of the trade, a number of whom attended the funeral. The business will be continued bv Mrs. Lloyd. J. J. B. " "SOME" SALESMAN! A grower who specializes in bedding plants came to town a few weeks ago and expressed his alarm over the likely effects of a nation-wide substitution of vegetable patches for flower gardens. If the people in his territory, he said, Avere to grow potatoes and turnips in lieu of bedding plants and flowers from seed, it naturally would follow that his sales would shrink considerably. The cliances are, however, that there has been no falling off in 1)odding plant sales on this account, but if any grower has a surplus of stock, let him be ad- vised that The Review 's Classified ads have a habit of converting surplus stock into cash, like this, for instance: I'Icaso discontimip my pnnsy ad, as I liavo sold all my stock and tliis business of retuniint; cheeks costs money. Really, all a (jrower has to do is to grow stock, and then let The Review sell it for him. — Cottage Oreenhoiises. Westplains, Mo., May 7, 1917. We were a little too well pleased with the re- sults from our ads. We did not stop them soon enough. Our sales cost us one per cent in tliis instance, slightly under, in fact. — Ferguson Bros., Station D, Omaha, Neb., May 5, 1917. When you hear a man complain of the cost of advertising you can be pretty certain that he spends a good bit of money elsewhere than in The Review, SaUna, Kan. — W. R. Loighton, man- ager of the Leighton Floral Co., adver- tised Mothers' day flowers in the local papers, using a quarter of a page in the one of widest circulation, and did a business limited only by the supply of stock. Hope, N. M.— E. L. Brewer has re- turned to his old love, the florists' busi- ness, and started a flower and market garden here. During the years of 1894 to 1898 Mr. Brewer operated the Ban- ner Greenhouses at Terrell, Tex. Pasadena, Tex. — D. Z. Holloway, who asserts that lie is the largest grower and shipper of .jasmine buds in the south, says he will not be able to make even one shipment this year, as the re- sult of the freeze last autumn. Ashland, Va. — George W. Gordon & Bro., who grow a general line of cut flowers and pot plants, think well of Carnation Gorgeous. Although others grow it with larger flowers, no growers beat the Gordon stems. They recently cut fifteen flowers that measured from two and one-half to three inches in diameter on stems forty-six to forty- eight inches long. Globe, Ariz. — Robert A. Lines has taken over the business of Mrs. William Pohl and will conduct it under his own name. Jacksonville, Pla. — Dr. H. Dux Co., Inc., says that one of the effects of th(^ heavy frosts in the south early this season has been to produce a shortage of magnolia leaves. It is expected that the market will become well cleaned up before new stock is ready. Chattanooga, Tenn. — The Joy Floral Co., of Nashville, has opened its branch store at 721 Market street and soon will start the erection of greenhouses on a site near the city. The branch store will be supplied with stock from Nash- ville until the new greenhouses are pro- ducing. H. H. Harrison, who has been connected with the company for several years, will have charge of the Chatta- nooga establishment. £illllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllillllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllillllllllllllll^ I MOTT-LY MUSINGS j ^iiimiiiiiiiiiiiiiimiiiiiiiimiiiiiiiiiimiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiimi'? The Friedley Co., of Cleveland, O., has two good things. Rhododendron Pink Pearl and Adiantum California (Dreer), "the best fern seen in Cleveland," says Frank Friedley. "It is worth just as much again as any other adiantum, on account of its free habit, graceful frond and hardiness. Being large, the fronds cover just twice the space," Mr. Fried- ley declares. Christ Winterich, of Defiance, O., ex- pects to be as strong as ever on cycla- mens, having a fine lot of young stock coming along. He predicts a scarcity of seed, the European sources being shut off and the sales of plants on the in- crease. Here some artistic funeral pieces were noted; a lavender-colored ijasket, filled with lilies and tied with lavender chiffon, was exceedingly classy. Mrs. E. Suder, of Toledo, O., has turned the active management of her grcenliouses over to her son, Albert A. Mrs. Suder confesses to having passed tlie seventy-fourth milestone and still is making tlie younger members of the trade hustle to keep up with tlie pace she maintains. Some idea of the extent of the spring plant business at this range may be had when 250 hanging baskets and a large number of tubs are filled, and every one of them expected to disap- ])ear before Memorial day. The tubs were intended for Holland stock, which did not arrive, and this, to quote Mr. Suder, "was tlic best thing tliat could possibly happen." Geraniums, Ameri- can Beauty, Thomas Meehan and Mrs. Lawrence roses are favorites in the Suder houses, along with the indispensa- ble S. A. Nutt. Salvia Bonfire, in 4-inch pots, grown from cuttings and fertilized. is far ahead of seedlings, carrying from four to six big spikes of bloom. The L. C. Hecock Floral Co., of Elyria, O., reports a good business in seeds and funeral work, and expects spring orders to be as lieavy as usual. One of the most notable things at the W. J. & M. S. Vesey greenhouses. Fort Wayne, Ind., is a batch of Vanda cserulea, part of which was grown in the south and part in the west. Curious- ly, the western plants are more vigorous, emblematic, as it were, of the country, which is most interesting to the grower, Sam Hudson, Avho left "Albion's shores" to grow up with his charges. George F. Hartung, of Sandusky, 0., observed that, while possibly it is wise to specialize in cut flowers, growing vegetables also is profitable. Have as varied a crop as possible and good money can be made, as it is seldom the market is overloaded in all lines. Now he is marketing lettuce, onions, rhubarb and ]iarsley in large quantities. Tomatoes will be the next crop. This model place is a delight to the vegetarian. Edward Sick, of Canandaigua, N. Y., in commenting on the fact that one of his best patrons had converted her flower garden into a vegetable garden, said: "We must not feci bad about such things, but take our medicine and make the best of the situation. I be- lieve that the flower lovers will fall back on the florists when they see so much * green goods. ' One of our best crops this winter was sweet peas. The vines were fifteen feet in height and every bloom sold at good figures. No siree, we as yet are not worrying. ' ' W. M. 30 The Florists^ Review May 17, 1917. m Established, 1897, by G. L. GRANT.

It is reported the arrival of the Dutch bulbs this fall is assured by the settle- ment of differences between the Dutch and British governments which will re- sult in the Dutch ships returning to the sea. If, instead of bedding stock, our best customers plant potatoes in the front yard this spring, we shall at least have the assurance that there Avill be a lot of lawn-making requiring our attention in the autumn. A NUMBER of newspaper editorials de- crying Mothers' day have been sent to The Review this week, but the only one that protested against observing it with the use of flowers misspelled as common a word as ' ' bouquet. ' ' Right on the heels of Mothers' day comes Memorial day. The interval this year scarcely is enough to give the live men of the trade the time they need to work up tlieir arrangements. A busy ten days is in prospect. It is said that the freeze in the south early this season has had the effect of de- stroying the magnolia loaves and that the supjdy of perpetuated leaves is likely to be well cleaned up before the new crop of raw material is ready for the pre- parers. Labor is the cliief proliloni at the mo- ment. Tlie florist who, with his wife, has needed only one or two men can get along by increasing Ins own effort, but the man who uses a crew of workers finds it ut- terly impossible to make up by his own hard work for the desertions tlie times are causing. RESULTS JUSTIFY THE MEANS. The news letters in this week's issue of The Review show that, almost with- out exception, the sales of flowers for Mothers' day were far greater than ever before. In this fact we find the justification for each and every means of exploita- tion the trade has employed. It paid, and that is the one real test of a busi- ness method. But the advertising the trade has done this year has done more than in- crease the sale of flowers — it has caused a general observance of the day, in churches and in the home. We say that florists' advertising has caused all this, because nobody else did anything at all to spread the news of Mothers' day's approach. That Mothers' day now is al- most a fixture in American life is due to the florists, not to anyone else. "BUSINESS AS USUAL." A prominent Englishman, discussing Americans, once said that public opin- ion in the United States was like a tidal wave. It swept everything before it as it rose and receded as rapidly as it appeared. The trutli of this British estimate of Americans has been proven in the last few weeks, or, to be exact, since the United States entered the war. No sooner had Congress declared that a state of war with Germany existed, than tliere was started a propaganda for economy. However, before it gained any considerable proportions, the best minds in the United States recognized what this so-called economy might do and began at once to counteract the effect it would have on the people. Now the pendulum is swinging the other way. Do not be economical, or rather, do not be fanatically economical, is the advice being given to Americans. For fanatical economy would, in the opinion of these commercial leaders, bring on a financial panic. .Tust be- cause the country is at war, do not close up business. England had a touch of this sort of economy, out of which came the slogan, "Business as Usual." Some members of the trade have felt tliat this economy campaign was going to hit florists, if not first, among the first. They have taken the view that Americans would do without everything except that which fills the stomach and covers nakedness. To a great extent tliey have been mistaken in their atti- tude. Also, they are beginning to real- ize it. Business may have felt the effect of the economy campaign, but this same campaign has brought about another which will certainly counteract the first, if it does not make the flower sell- ing business better than ever. According to the last census, there was something like $35,000,000 invested in the florists' business. Seven years have greatly increased those figures. Tliousands of men and w^omen are em- ployed in the trade. Would there be any economy in letting this huge in- vestment lie idle and in throwing these thousands of persons out of employ- ment? "Business as Usual" sounds like a pretty good slogan for Americans just now. Public ofiicials and commercial leaders are preaching it by word of mouth and through the newspapers; some of the big concerns are using costly advertising space to spread the same gospel. The florists' business will get the cumulative effect. There is no surer way of making business good than to show confidence in the future of the country by con- tinuing our daily activities as though conditions were normal. A MEMORIAL DAY THOUGHT. The sentiment that caused the estab- lishment of Memorial day will undergo a great revival this year. The day, set aside for the American people to pay homage to those who lost their lives defending their country and to those who escaped and have since died, "will mean more this year because the country again is at war. The observance of the day will un- doubtedly be more devout than in many years previous. Thoughts of the people will be turned to more serious things than merely enjoying a holiday. In consequence there will be a greater de- mand for flowers, wreaths and plants. Time, "the great healer," and the peace and prosperity of this country had dulled the poignancy of our appreciation of the patriotic sacrifices of the men of '61 and '98. War to this generation was a thing impossible in the present state of civilization. The European outburst, more furious than anything in the world's history, shattered this sense of security. It showed the fallacy of our beliefs. And now we have been drawn into the con- flict. Daily, mothers and fathers are part- ing with sons, who have done as their forebears did — answered their country's call. The emotions of those the soldier or sailor leaves behind are a mixture of pride and sorrow, but there is no joy in them. It is claimed that the deaths of 601 persons in the Iroquois theater fire, Chi- cago, some fourteen, years ago brought that disaster home to a million people. How many, do you think, will have a close personal interest in the thousands of youths who are in Uncle Sam's army and navy? To all these people Memorial day will have a new and deeper significance, the meaning it had to the Americans of a half century ago. It is right that our method of ex- pressing love and reverence for the dead is to place wreaths or flowers on their graves. Nothing expresses these sentiments so well as these symbols of purity and beauty. This year will see, it is predicted, a greater amount of Memorial day ceme- tery decoration than ever before. CHICAGO. The Market. To say tliat Mothers' day business this year was the best on record would be ' making a simple statement of fact. Many, however, in recurring to last week 's trade will not be satisfied with such a bald man- ner of stating a truth and will endeavor, with a multitude of adjectives, to explain just liow good business really was, for certain it is that the annals of the Chi- cago flower market contain no record wliich, taken by and large, could prove more satisfactory. Stock, as had been expected, was scarce and was unable to satisfy in full the strong demand exist- ing. As could only be expected, the first call was for white carnations, but most v^ May 17, 1917.

The Florists^ Review 33 AS USUAL The largest supply in America PEONIES Every indication points to a record-breaking demand on all stock for Dec- oration Day and of course the PEONY will, as always, be the leading flower in demand. We want to warn you, however, that as far as we can see, after carefully going over all the local crops, none of these will be in before June and therefore you will have to depend upon the Southern crop for your supply. As you know, we have always handled the largest amount of Peonies and the best quality in the whole country, barring no section, and while our Southern crop will be of normal supply it is only just starting to arrive and will, without a doubt, be of exceptionally fine grade. With the large local crops off the market and this exceptionally heavy demand we would strongly advise ordering at once if you want to be protected and be sure of your supply. Prices will be no higher than in other years, that is four, six and eight cents each. Don't forget to order your Boxwood at the same time, and if you wish we will ship it ahead so that you can get ready to take care of the big rush and not be losing sales by having to wait for stock at the last minute. We will have plenty to go around at $7.50 per case of fifty pounds. Xstabllahed 188S Inoorpor»t*d 1891 Kennicott Bros. Co.

It was gratifying, however, to note that the white earnation idea liad beeonie faiily well expelled from most minds and that other stock, roses in jtarticular, were just as easy sale. It is a noteworthy fact that Mothers' day is a holiday which takes into consideration no special classes, the wealthy or the i)Oor, but all, as the senti- ment pronijiting a gift of flowers to mother throbs just as warmly in the breast of tlu' small wage eai'uer as it does iu that of the greatest financier. It should be noted also in this connection that the call on Mothers' day is for good stock. ])()or (juality llowers l)eing nearly unsalable. To just what cause or variety of causes the exceptional business done is to lie attributed can not be said oflfliaud. Cer- tain it is that the great amount of pub- licity accorded the day this year had its marked effect in stimulating sales. Then again, the late spring this year, causing an absence of outdoor flowers, may have created a greater call for greenhouse products. And in the tliird place, much may j)erhaps be due to the fact that many young men through the country eitlier have already enlisted with th(> colors or :ire ex])ecting to do so, and they therefore at this time feel nu)re strongly the sentiment involved in giving mother floweis. That retailers enjoyed an exctdlent busi- ness was ])roved by the active condition of the wholesale market May 14. As stock was scarce, the market having cleaned out entirely with the closing of Mothers' day business May 13, prices were naturally stiff. Although not quite so good as May 14, May l/i also ]iroved to be a highly satisfactory day. The demand for flowers for high school and college commencements is now begin- ning. American Beauties and yellow roses are in most active call. All growers have cut their crops pretty close, and it does not look as though there will be any spe- cially heavy jiroduction in any line in the near future. American Beauties sold exceedingly well last week. (!ood stock only, however, was desired, cri[>i)led flowers not moving at all. The supply was short and prices firm. All other varieties of roses were uniformly scarce and sold well, cleaning out easily the (Mid of the week, with many orders left unfille(| or only ])artly fillecl. Wliite varieties were in most active de- Tuand, hecause in smallest supply, with Russell following a close second and in good sup])ly. lied varieties were given tlie next choice, with Oj>helia and Sun hurst after that selling e(|ually well. Dis- crimination, however, was only slight. In carnations white, of course, sold the most easily, or perhaps, to state it more accurately, were the first to go, all varie- ties cleaning out with ease. It is true that a few carnations could be seen at the close of the market May l.'{, but these were from late May I'A shipments. In some instances growers held their stock back too long, but even these poorer grades brought a fair price. Sweet peas were in good demand, with sufficient stock ]»resent to meet the call. Calendulas and Sj)anish iris moved slowly, with all bulbous stock, of which there was but little, dragging heavily. Poeticus was the only excejition to this and it had only a fair sale.

Ilotiiruiiig May 14 fniiii a trip to Eagle lUver, Wis., wlicro he lias a cot- tage and plans to s{)eiul a quiet summer, Emil Buettner tells a little story for tlie consolation of growers who are having trouble getting soil hauled. It seems that a now golf course is being laid out at Highland Park, just west of E. Wien- hoeber's place. A number of teams were employed at $8 a day. Along comes Uncle Sam from Fort Sheridan and offers $12, whereupon the entire gang (piit the golfers and went with the soldiers. August I'oehlmann is able to be on the job again, liaving almost recovered from his recent illness. While taking her son-in-law to the train May lo, Mrs. J. I'sonicta, of Wil- niette, and her son, Lewis, were seri- ously injured when an automobile ran into the buggy, in which they weri' rid 40 The Florists^ Review May 17, 1917. ing. Lewis Psenicka's skull was frac- tured, while Mrs. Psenicka sustained several body injuries. J. E. Pollworth, of Kennicott Bros. Co., is on a business trip through the south. Marks Bros., in Cicero, are among tlie oldest florists in the vicinity of Chicago. The business was established many years ago by the father of the present proprietors, who was a contemporary of August Dressel, Edgar Sanders, George Wittbold and other pioneers. The estab- lishment now consists of three separate ranges, thirteen houses in all. Pot plants are the only crop grown. Busi- ness this spring is excellent, although following Easter there was some falling oflp, which was attributed to the declara- tion of war. Elm street is in process of being paved with cedar blocks. A large part of the trade of the E, Wienhoeber Co., on this street, is brought to the door by automobiles, and the completion of the work is anxiously awaited. The thoroughfare has been torn up for sev- eral weeks. The Smyth brothers, W. J. and Harry, received word last week of the death of their other brother's wife under pecu- liarly sad circumstances at the old fam- ily home at Albany, N. Y. W. J. Smyth left at once to attend the funeral and has only just returned. At Elmhurst the Meyer & Dramm Co., one of the few growers now building, will plant the new house 40x400 with American Beauty. It is the first at- tempt to grow Beauty at Elmhurst and is inspired by the belief that Beauty in the future will be a highly profitable rose for those who can grow it well. Mothers' day, May 13, was the thirty- third anniversary of John Ziska's ar- rival in the world and of course he ob- served the anniversary appropriately. From Union Grove, Wis., French & Salm sent to market over 32,000 Russell roses last week. Business with the florists as a body, according to Frank M. Johnson, of the A. L. Randall Co., is better than in any other line with which he is in touch. Mr. Johnson thinks the florist who ca- ters to working classes will have the best season on record next fall and winter. Joseph Foerster and Mrs. Foerster have two children, a boy of 10 and a girl of 11 years. Both children have had the measles, but now are happy to have been released from quarantine May 15. May 14 John T. Muir completed, with the installation of his successor, four years of excellent service as president of the village board of River Forest, where he is one of the old residents. Peter Hile has taken a position with the John Krucliten Co. Mr. Hile was with D. E. Frores for four years and with the Freres-Windler Co. since its incorporation. Two brothers, Alex and Max Mom- blatt, have joined the sales force of the American Bulb Co. The former travels in Iowa and the Dakotas, while the lat- ter covers Chicago and adjacent towns. Harry Smyth, Jr., son of Harry Smyth," of tlie E. Wienhoeber Co., lias enlisted in the ambulance corps and is at Jefferson Barracks, St. Ijouis. W. L.

There were palms and ferns, brightened by tulips, daffodils and hydrangeas, and all were nicely grown. After enjoying the display, I must confess that the pleasure in it was some- what marred by a sight at the other end of the building. There, among the euphorbias and cacti, was a huge cen- tury plant, tlie broad leaves of which were completely ruined by vandals. The handy penknife, worked by dexterous fingers, had cut initials and dates all over the plant. The leaves suggested the tattooed arms of a sailor. One date was only a day or two earlier. It was a shame. Cocos Weddelliana. The range devoted to those shapely little palms at the Henry A. Dreer place, Riverton, is always interesting. You feel, when walking through it, that here is something unusual, something that cannot bo found elsewhere. Grad- ually the stock was worked up to a won- derful degree of perfection, and by great care it was kept there. Then there were waves of demand that made it difficult to keep all the gi^^s com- plete. Today the specimen sizes are scarce, but the benches are filled with a magnificent lot of small and medium- sized plants, perfect in form and in shape, and they have a rich, deep green coloring that is a pleasure to see. Various Notes. "Alpine Plants for Eock Gardens," was the subject of Miss May Wright's talk before the Germantown Horticul- tural Society May 14, in the library at Vernon Park. Wild flowers were a feature of the exhibition. H. Bayersdorfer has arranged a "pa- triotic" of magnolia foliage, ornament- ed with red roses, white hyacinths and blue cape flowers, for Memorial day. Richard Stockton, the well known rose grower of Princeton, N. J., has gone to Fort Niagara, to join the candidates in training for otficers in the TJ. S. army. Robert Scott & Son this season will plant 14,000 Mrs. Charles Russell roses on their place at Sharon Hill. Frank R. Hastings has announced his engagement to a charming young lady of Germantown. Eugene Bernheimer has happily re- covered from his recent illness. He was able to attend to business last week. Joseph G. Ncidinger, who has been quite ill, now is well again and back at the liehn of his large supply house. The Forrest Flower Shop says that the demand for Mothers' day was large- ly for white, carnations mainly, some sweet peas and roses. The window is effectively arranged with spring flowers. George D. Clark says that the top of the hill has been passed in seed orders. Robert A. Craig suggests that, now that every spare inch of back yard is sown with vegetable seed, a few pretty plants would be nice in front. Edward A. Flood has commenced work with the Buist Seed Co. Charles I. Kent, Jr., formerly of West Philadelphia, is now running a retail store at Camden, which he recently pur- chased. Los Angeles makes a fine showing in the window of Henry A. Dreer, Inc. Franklin Ely says that, while retail flower seeds have not sold so well as usual, more flower seeds have been sown by florists than in the past. This is sup- plementary to the note given out by the Henry F. Michell Co. last week. J. M. Deutscher, John Cunningham and George Cook agree that the P. W. F. E. should be proud of its Mothers' day stock. It is with sadness that the death of William McCrae Thompson, which oc- curred last week, is announced.

Well, we heard Mrs. Hill's opinion of the war last week, so we will just stop and see W. J. Halliday for a few minutes. Here again we hear the same thing — notliing to this talk of war affecting business. "There have been some dull days since Easter," said Mr. Halliday, "but we always look for them. In the main, business has been better this spring than usual, and I cannot see how the war is going to affect it much. We are just going along and are making no provision for the war. With all the money that will be spent in this coun- try for munitions and food, everyone will get some of it, and when everyone has plenty of money, the florist is going to get his share." A Pretty runeral Pall. Up at Mary Johnston 's I saw a pretty little funeral piece. It was a pall for the Hamilton baby's funeral, out in Green Spring valley. The pall was for a 3-foot casket. Tlie bed was made of smilax with a cluster of pink sweet peas in tlie center and a border of carna- tions. ' ' Cute ' ' hardly seems the right word for it, but it certainly was a hand- some piece of work.

Everything else is plentiful, and if it were not that business is unusually good, there would be a glut. As it is, the only bad fe9.ture is that the faker can get all of the stuff he wants, but this is an evil that cannot be remedied, for the wholesaler would rather get a little than throw stock on the dump. Tate. KANSAS CITY, MO. The Market. The Mothers' day business was the largest in the history of the city's trade, according to reports, the strong demand sweeping the market clean of all carnations and roses. More pot plants and baskets were sold than was expected. Where stores were near greenhouses there was a rush in pre- paring geraniums for the buyers, and other bedding plants in bloom were sold as rapidly as they were made up, espe- cially those retailing at 75 cents to $1.50. The carnation was king, and higher prices were obtained for good blooms than was anticipated. At the start only the best grades of roses seemed to move, but when the demand had ab- sorbed the carnations, roses experienced a lively sale, as well as sweet peas and pansies. Irises and snapdragons at- tained a prominent place in the day's business. Cut flowers were far from plentiful and prices advanced under the influ- ence of the increasing demand during the first part of the week. Now the indications are that cut stock will not be cheap during the remainder of the month, unless supplies arrive from out- of-town growers. Various Notes. Gerald Holsinger, of Eosedale, who formerly was an ensign in the navy, has accepted a lieutenant's commis- sion in the sea service. He graduated from the Annapolis academy in 1895 and served as an officer of the U. S. S. Vulcan during the Spanish- American war. The Mothers' day business at. the establishment of Arthur Newell set a new record for volume. Everything was sold, and much more could have been sold had it been available.

He used lilies, white carnations, lav- ender sweet peas and campanulas. W. J. Barnes says that his Mothers' day business surpassed all expectations. All cut stock was disposed of and nu- merous pot plants in bloom were moved. Baskets at $1 to $2 found favor and pans of bedding plants experienced an unprecedented sale. When Mr. Barnes observed that the usual stock for the day was short of the demand he made up much of his bedding stock, and thereby nipped the boom in the bud. Deliveries had to be made all day Sun- day. T. J. Noll smilingly reported the big- gest Mothers' day trade he ever had. The shipping business was uncommonly brisk. The Alpha Floral Co. reports a com- plete clean-up for the day, and this is significant in view of the fact that the company made ample "preparations for a record business. The force of the W. L. Eock Flower Co. worked night and day to handle the Mothers' day business, the largest in the history of the establishment. Fred Fromholdt discovered that his large stock for Mothers' day was not sufficient to meet the demand. He sold everything early. The tradesmen across the state line say that Mothers' day sales broke rec- ords this year. W. J. B. WHEAT, $3.18! CORN, $1.50! The west is big. By the enormous vote it cast in the last presidential election, the vast empire beyond the Garden City revealed its marvelous growth in popu- lation; its increase in wealth has been even greater. The westerners are the country's largest producers of food- stuffs, and the high prices of grains and meats, which now give indications ot soaring even higher, have brought the nation's feeders a golden harvest. What does this mean to western flo- rists? It means that where bank ac- counts and automobiles are more nu- merous than ever before, where farming, the principal basis of real prosperity, is prosecuted on a vaster scale than ever before, the flower and plant business has everv reason for prospering. And the Keview's advertisers meet these florists of the western country under the right auspices; they are intro- duced bv a " friend of the family. ' ' The results are splendid. Plants, seeds, sup- plies, nursery stock, greenhouses, mate- rials—everything is wanted m the middle west and west.

Continued cold, damp and sunless weather caused a greatly reduced sup- ply of flowers last week. The market grew steady and stronger until May 11. It receded somewhat May 12 and 14 and now is somewhat weaker. Mothers' day trade broke all records. This day is now coming rapidly to the fore as an important flower day. It was, this year, given more publicity than ever, and this is what told. Eoses are greatly improved in price, due to lessened receipts. Short-stemmed stock realized $4 and $5 per hundred May 11 and 12. The general run of hybrid teas is at present making $2 to $10 per hundred. Francis Scott Key, Stanley, Ward, Eussell, Ophelia, Milady, Killarney Queen and Hadley are espe- cially good. Carnations have come into their own once more. Tliey opened slowly during the dark weather we have had. Prices for Mothers ' day varied from $6 to $8 per hundred. A few fancies made $10 to $12.50 per hundred. Colored and white varieties sold equally well. Prices this week are lower, but good for the season. Sweet peas have sold out well with the other flowers. They have been open- ing slowly. Dutch bulbous flowers con- tinue in good supply. None are yet available outdoors here. Prices are better than a fortnight ago. Lilies sell well and are somewhat scarce. Yellow marguerites of good quality sell readily. Many seen, however, are of indifferent quality. Spanish iris remains somewhat druggy. Snapdragons lack snap when it comes to selling, although the quality is superb. Pansies are abundant. Both large and small-flowered gladioli are arriving in small quantities. Gardenias sell poorly. Cattleyas con- tinue scarce. Fresh stock sells fairly well. Trade in pansies and other hardy lEfELMI ••• 1 uLatt J. N.

But it is still too cold to move anything tender. Seen at Natick. The establishment of James Wheeler, at Xatick, is one now well worthy of a visit. Mr. Wheeler has earned the title of ' ' Marguerite King. ' ' He now has about one-third of an acre in bloom and a wonderful sight they are. Only the large yellow variety is grown and the beds are a veritable sheet of gold. Yellow marguerites are far from being easy ])lants to propagate and handle properly, but Mr. Wheeler seems to have mastered their culture better than any otlier specialist. All his plants are in solid beds. Many now stand six to seven feet high and his last planted house, 30x200, shows clearly the result of careful selection, something necessary with yellow mar- guerites. Quite a variety of types are observable, but Mr. Wheeler is aiming to retain only the best form. For these he obtains fancy prices both in Boston and New York. Carnations here look remarkably well. Alice has well paid for its board. Nancy is liked and will be more largely planted next season. Pink Delight, Matchless, White Wonder, Benora and Beacon are other varieties grown. Young stock was just being planted at the time of my visit. Mr. Wheeler is gradually developing a nice nursery business and has fine Worcester, Mass.

Florists stocks of various forms of Evonymus radicans, pachysandras, Taxus cuspi- data, peonies, etc. A charming bungalow, equally at- tractive within and without, makes a delightful home for Mr. Wheeler. Eobert Montgomery has specialized in roses now twenty years and never fails to grow them well. One house of Kil- larney and White Killarney is now in its sixth year and is in first-class shape. The stock will be lifted and replanted this season. Mr. Montgomery thinks growers change their plants at too fre- quent intervals. Russell does well here; so do Dark Pink Killarney and Double White Killarney. Hoosier Beauty and Hadley are grown for reds, but Rich- mond will be planted again next season. Ophelia is classed as one of the finest roses ever introduced and looks splen- did here. One house is devoted to car- nations and they left nothing to be desired. It would be hard to find better Matchless, Pink Delight, Ward, Benora and Beacon than were to be seen here. Next season Nancy will be given a gen- erous trial. Robert T. McGorum is another Natick rose specialist of long standing. He grows Richmond, Ophelia, Killarney and White Killarney especially well.

There were 6,700 in this special sliipment, the high quality of which rarely has been equaled here and never surpassed. Matchless, Ward, Benora and Pink Delight were the prin- cipal sorts in this noteworthy shipment. Welch Bros. Co. had remarkably heavy sales of flowers for Mothers' day, roses and carnations being the leaders. They are booking some big orders for Memorial day and hope tlie weather will be such that they can fill them at rea- sonable prices. Fred Holbrow, of Brighton, was for the fourth year first in the market with America gladiolus. His earliest sold at $4 to $5 per dozen. One spike ac- tually carried fifteen open flowers. He also is getting some fine sweet peas. Mrs. E. K. Farr, of Stoneham, grows splendid carnations and it would be hard to find better Matchless, Peerless Pink, Pink Delight and other standard sorts than are to be seen here.

No sunshine was recorded there between April 17 and May 12, except little fitful flashes. It is sur- prising, considering the lack of sun- shine, that the quality is so good, Penn advertised Mothers' day heavily in the leading Boston dailies and did a great business May 12. This store continues to effectively advertise seeds as well as plants and cut flowers. E. P. Peterson, of Saxonville, is do- ing well with carnations this season. Alice, Benora and Matchless are his leading trio. He also produces splendid pansies. Seed stores have been simply over- whelmed with orders of late and all have found it necessary to close their stores several hours daily in an effort to catch up with orders. For vegetable seeds and tools the call continues tre- mendous, but the flower seed business is largely neglected, which may be neces- sary, iaut is regrettable. W. N. C. ST. Loxns. The Market.

No doubt this week will see a big drop in the prices if the supply continues large. Roses now are arriving in large quantities, especially the Killarneys, and extra good stock sold as low as $4 and $5 per hundred. Ophelia, Eussell and Hadley, however, held up in price. Beauties are scarce at present. Fancy snapdragons brought $8 per hundred. Easter lilies are fine and sell at $8 per hundred. Quite a large supply of outdoor valley now is coming in. Miniature gladioli are exceptionally fine and many outdoor flowers are ar- riving, but they are of little value to the trade. There is a good supply of greens. Flat ferns are selling at $3.50 per thousand and fine huckleberry at $4 per case. Adiantum and asparagus have a good demand.

The members of the St. Louis Florists' Club were guests of the St. Louis County Growers' Association May 10, when the monthly meeting of the club was held at the Eleven Mile House. The day was fine, but as the busy planting season was on, only about fifty members attended the meeting. The combined attendance was estimated at seventy-five. President Bourdet pre- sided, and after the preliminaries were over a number of important letters were^ read and discussed. Charles F. A. Steidle, a rose grower at Olivette, Mo., was elected to membership and Julius Koenig, city forester, made application for membership. The trustees were instructed to ar- range for the annual picnic, which will be held sometime in July, and were given full power to act and to report arrangements at the next meeting. It was decided to hold a parade the morn- ing of the day set for the picnic and to offer a prize for the best decorated auto- mobile. Paul Keden, president of the Missouri Pottery & Supply Co., extended an invi- tation to the members of the club to hold the next meeting at the company's plant. The invitation was accepted with thanks. Julius Koenig spoke on the coming convention of the park su- perintendents here in October. A vote of thanks was extended to the County Growers' Association for the afternoon's entertainment. The question box brought forth several good discussions. Treasurer Smith's report was pleasing to the members. After the meeting adjourned the club mem- bers were invited to a delightful spread. The members of the association outdid themselves, and before leaving three rousing cheers were given them. Various Notes. Notice of the death of Horace Lloyd, head of the Shackelford Nursery Co., will be found in this week's obituary column. Walter Young and Frank Sanders have filed applications to join the of- ficers' reserve corps. Both are able young men and should find little trouble in receiving appointments. Everybody was glad to see Frank Vennemann at the club meeting. Mr. Vennemann 's eyes have been giving him great trouble during the winter. He was almost blind, but now is greatly im- proved.

Allan Seed Co., of Sheboygan, Wis., the authorized capital being $110,000. The high prices of beans and other food crops on the coast made it impossible for the seed growers there to increase their acreage to the desired extent this year, but in a general way they are hav- ing as few troubles as any class of seeds- men. Heavy acreage of beans and potatoes is now being planted, seed houses all re- porting heavy sales. Prospects are that there will be large plantings all over the country, so that with good crops there should be cheaper beans and potatoes in the fall. Dutch bulb prices, Avhich started high and then advanced, are retrograding. It is assured tliat most of the exporting houses have booked considerably less than the usual number of orders up to this date and a general weakening of prices is only the natural result. The state lioard of pharmacy of Utah has warned the state's seedsmen against the sale of bichloride of mercury and its poisonous derivatives to customers for the purpose of spraying plants and treating seeds. A state law prohibits the sale of these poisons by anyone but registered plianiiacists. It is reported that the differences be- tween tlie governments of Great Britain and Holland, wliieh have been the real reason why Dutcli sliips remained in port, liave been adjusted and that the Dutch ships will resume their sailings. This probiibly will insure the arrival of the fall bulb shipments. We hear assertions tliat certain seed liouses have incioasos of seventy -five or even 100 per cent tliis season and there are no doultts it li;is been a wonderful business. The marvel is, wliere did all tiu^ seeds come from.' As a matter of fact, tlie increase in value of sales has been mucli greater tliaii the increase in (|uantity of seeds sold. Genuine dUl seed, suitable for pickling houses, is ])racti('ally out of the market and is in demand at $2 ]pcr jiound. Tlierc is being sold as genuine dill a variety of wild dill, winch, liowev(>r, is not the right vaiiety for pickles and wliich does not give the genuine dill llavor. As the seeds are quite similar in a]»i>earance, nome do not seem to know the difference, althougli rcadilv recognizable to those familiar Braslan Grower for the Wholesale Trade Only. Onion.

Pickling houses using this cheaper seed will probably damage their pickles to a great extent. It sells for 50 cents to $1 per pound. Navy beans for seed purposes are bringing $14 per bushel. Common eating stock sells readily for $11.50 to $12 per bushel. According to A. H. Smith, of the Leonard Seed Co., Chicago, there is as yet practically no let-up in the orders daily coming in. Filling-in orders arrive al- most as heavily as during the earlier part of the season. The company disposed of a large number of hogs from its La Grange farm May 11 at $16.20 per hun- dred pounds, the top market price at the time. These hogs were fattened, for the most part, on seed screenings. John Leonard is back from a trip to Excelsior Springs, Mo., where he recuperated after the stremiousness of an exceptionally busy season. CONFERENCE AT WASHINGTON. On invitation of the Secretary of Agriculture, representatives of the American Seed Trade Association and the Wholesale Grass Seed Dealers' Asso- ciation held a conference with represen- tatives of the Department of Agricul- ture at Washington May 10. The whole subject of seed supply for this season and succeeding seasons was gone over. President K. B. White called a meet- ing of the executive committee of the Seed Trade Association for May 9 and obtained an almost full attendance. There also were a number of others present, among them C C. Massie, of Northrup, King & Co., Minneapolis; W. D. Weedy, general manager of John A. Salzer Seed Co., La Crosse, Wis., and George S, Greene, of the Illinois Seed Co., Chicago. CANABY ISLAND ONION SEED. The outlook at this date for the Canary Island onion seed crop is ex- cellent, both as to quality and quantity, according to data supplied the United States consulate by leading growers. The 1917 crop has suffered little from the blight, which in recent years has done much damage. As regards quantity, this year's crop is said to be uncommonly large, plant- ing having been much stimulated by the success of last season's record crop, when the exports to the United States reached a value of $84,314. Favorable growing conditions have prevailed, espe- cially as regards rainfall, for the large "secano," or unirrigated, onion seed acreage. Present estimates appear to indicate seed in excess of the 74,987 pounds produced last year. Conditions seem to indicate the proba- bility of falling prices as soon as the effects of a large crop are felt in the market. A stock of the 1916 white, or wax, seed is reported to exist, and buy- ers would do well to carefully specify in all contracts for strictly 1917 seed, as 1-year-old seed, it is claimed, fails to give as good results as the strictly fresh article. On account of the unusual conditions governing international trade, the bal- ance of exchange is heavily against the dollar and in favor of the peseta. Con- sequently American buyers should, when possible, have all prices specified in terms of United States coin. It has also been suggested as ad- vantageous for American buyers to u 13 SEASONABLE STOCK OF WORTH-WHILE OUALin n & MAKE US PROVE IT. We pay freight both ways if you don't agree with us.

Many contracts already made have placed all the risk of failure to secure ocean car- riage entirely on the American buyer. Yet vv^ith prospects of abundant seed, it might be possible for buyers to ar- range payment only after actual em- barkment on board ship. Shipments of seed via Liverpool are not possible this season, and the only available route would appear to be via Havana, Cuba, or San Juan, Porto Eico. Even here there are now scheduled but two ships per month, as compared with four during the onion crop season of last year. The only remaining possible route would be via Cadiz, Spain, where trans- shipment to New York might be se- cured; but this route is not regarded favorably here because of the chances of having the merchandise damaged by delays at the intermediate port, a point especially to be avoided by southern buyers, who must make close connec- tions in order to suit the early planting needs of that important onion-growing section. y%.

"Xotliing doing but funeral work," was the report of several of the retail- ers this week, and some of them added, "and little of that." There have been one or two weddings and small affairs, but the general trend of business has been downward. Our retailers are plucky and have been making good dis- plays, as if they were really doing busi- ness. Some of the stores report a fair transient business, but it is the excep- tion. Eegarding the cheaper stocks, there is just one word for all of them. They are all too plentiful. Good stock that will ship a few hundred miles and reach its destination in good shape is not nearly so plentiful. With the flowering of Cat- tleya Mossia;, orchids have been more to the front, and valley has appeared in ratlier larger quantities. Cecile Brun- ner roses are too abundant and are just about wortli what they cost to pick. Greens are far more i)lentiful. Good plants are scarce, outside of ferns and palms. Various Notes. R. W. Garland is receiving congratu- lations on the arrival of a 9^^ -pound boy at his home. "Our Bob," as Rob- ert is affectionately known among the staff at Wright's Flower Shop, had the misfortune to be in the hospital at the time of the arrival of the latest. He underwent a slight operation for blood poisoning, the result of a rose-thorn puncture in his hand; so consequently the good news now is that mother, father and cliild are doing well. David Gold- man Ijlew in the other day and reported that lie had been left a fortune in tlie form of a boy. With the advent of the heated term, C. 1). Baker, of Yuma, Ariz., lias closed his store for a time and is visiting friends in the city. He will probably be away from Yuma most of the sum- mer. Walter Garbett, who handles the sales end for W. Armacost & Co., reports ' ' sold out ' ' every day. Considering the season, the high cost of vegetable grow- ing and other hindrances to the flower business, this has a good sound. Manager Fred Sperry, of the L. A. Floral Co., says that when one has to send for extra express wagons during May, it looks good for the "house of quality and sorvit'e. " Heard from one of the latest acquisi- tions to the flower business: "What are those red violets? Do they flower all the year around .' ' ' C. Woodin has no further connec- tion with the Abbey Flower Shop, hav- ing disjiosed of his interest to his ])art- ner. Mr. Woodin has taken a ]iosition as secretary to tlie owner of a large fruit ranch. The K. X. Gage Co. reports that the young bulbous stock on the new El Monte grounds is doing finely, especially gladioli and tuljeroses. At the Long Beach jdace the company has about 9,000 fine ]ilants of jiluiiiosus, grown for strings. "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." J. M. Bridgeford, of Eagle Rock, is sending in a nice line of Spanish irises. Cajanus, a beautiful clear yellow, is one of the finest. H. J. Scherer of the Fancher Creek Nurseries, of Fresno, writes that they were in the prize money with their patriotic float of red, white and blue on Raisin day. The Santa Cruz Evergreen Co. says that business is fair. G. Ghigo, the out- side man, is much improved in health. W. W. Felgate is showing a nice lot of cinerarias, which seem to do well in the foothill climate of Sierra Madre. A meeting of the executive com- mittee of the Los Angeles County Hor- ticultural Society was held at the store of S. Murata & Co. May 9. Theodore Payne, of Payne's Seed Store, reports the most successful sea- son of his business career. H. R. Richards. P. Wolfskin, of The Orchid, Pasa- dena, has been taking a few days off for fishing and reports a good time with the surf fish at Oceanside. Business has been fine. S. Murata & Co. seem to be keeping their end up in shipments. An amateur rose show was held at the Hamburger department store May 7, E. Hunt, manager of the flower de- partment, being in charge. A feature of the show was the competition for a name for the new fern grown by F. Hills, of Hills' Nursery, and exhibited by him. The number of competitors was .'585, but at the time of writing the name SAN FRANCISCO. had not been decided on. The judges at the rose show were J. Whitehead, of the H. W.

Montebello from greatly exceeding the demand, and the shipping business furnished an out- let for a good deal of stock. Carnations, especially the white varieties, were held back for Mothers' day, and this caused a decided shortage in the local market for several days. Some of the shippers reported that they could not get the flowers to fill their orders for out-of- town delivery. There is little change in the rose situation since the last report. Good roses sell at moderate prices, while the shorter stock and inferior blooms have to be cleared at low figures. The aver- age quality is excellent. Iris is in full crop and is having a good demand, but the cut will probably begin to decline within ten or fourteen days. Gladioli are seen liere and there, but the light offerings do not cut much figure in the market. Peonies are arriving in gener- ous lots. The colored blooms are given preference over the white ones and bring higher prices. A few fine poppies have put in an appearance. Daisies are plentiful, and the supply of delphiniums, calceolarias, coreopsis, cornflowers and otlier outdoor stock is increasing from day to day. Eanunculi and anemones are about gone, and the same is true of tulips. Valley is about equal to the demand, but more orchids could be used ou certain days. Much hawthorn is used in decorative work. Asparagus and adiautum are plentiful and of good quality. Horticultural Society Meeting. _ The Pacific Coast Horticultural So- ciety held its regular meeting May 5. One of the principal matters to come u]) was the question of holding a flower sliow in San Francisco next spring, ])r()ljably in March. Mucli interest was sliown in the proposition, especially after C. W. Ward offered to guarantee .$1,(»00 for the event. H.

SWAIN NELSON & SONS CO., 942 Marquette Bldg., CHICAGO Mention The Review when you write. stock containing this provision was construed. In considering the contract that court laid down the three follow- ing propositions: Decisions on Phases of Contract. " 'First. Where a contract for the sale of fruit trees is prepared by the seller to be signed by the buyer, any uncertainty or ambiguity therein is to be resolved in favor of the buyer. " 'Second. That such a contract for the sale of nursery stock contained an implied condition precedent, requiring a substantial performance by the seller, for breach of which the buyer vras en- titled to recover compensatory dam- ages. " 'Thiid. That the provision of the contract quoted above applied only to such mistakes as were liable to occur in the substantial performance of the contract, and unless there was a sub- stantial performance, the plaintiff's re- covery for breach was not limited to the price of the trees not delivered. " 'In view of the foregoing construc- tion of this contract, which appears to be correct, it was necessary to deter- mine whether or not there had been a substantial compliance with the con- tract by the appellant, for if it failed substantially to fulfill its contract, the rule of damages in the case of breach of the individual order and the com- bination order would be the same.'

There was a big demand for cut flowers of all kinds and for carna- tions especially. Carnations were not so plentiful as last year and the supply did not meet the demand. Many plants were sold when the cut flower supply was exliausted. Various Notes, J. C. Elspermann could not supply the demand for cut flowers at his store. The same condition obtained at the store of Julius Niednagel & Sons. The Wm. Blackman Floral Co. had good cuts of roses and carnations, but could not fill all the orders received. Karl Zeidler had an abundance of carnations and roses, which sold well. He has added another light delivery car to his equipment, now having three in service. Theodore Kuebler sold a large quan- tity of flowers at the market. Otto Kuebler reports a large sale of flowers and plants at Brege 's store. E. L. F. NEWPORT, K. I. WESTERLY, R. I. Louis J.

Gold, dark weather continues, and last week there were rain, snow and hail, The cuts of roses and carnations were smaller than a year ago, causing the wholesalers considerable trouble, as they were unable to supply the needs of the Tfitfl.il PTS Carnations for Mothers' day aver- aged $8 per hundred wholesale, and as one of the department stores was ad- vertising them at $1 and $1.25 per dozen, the retailers had difficulty in getting a fair price. The weather, too, had a depressing effect on business. Some of the retail stores made a run on tumbler baskets filled with flowers other than carnations and they seemed to take. Various Notes. Several of the retailers made the rounds of the growers trying to contract for their cuts of carnations for Mothers' day. It is reported that the growers refused to sell, except through the com- mission men. Frank Stafford has the sympathy of his many friends in the trade in the loss of his 5-year-old daughter, Eegina May, who died Tuesday, May 8. Clarke. SEWIOKLEY, PA. The monthly meeting of the Sewick- ley Horticultural Society was held May 8, President Barnet presiding. The schedule for the September show was adopted as presented by the committee. A resolution was adopted that the Sewickley Horticultural Society view with hearty approval the efforts of the Women's Club of Sewickley in its work in connection with the cultivation of vacant lots in Sewickley and its en- virons, and that the society offer that body its hearty cooperation in the un- dertaking.

Will you be so kind as to help me with my problem in heating? I have two greenhouses, with a shed and boiler pit in the center. The east house is 31x90, containing 6,000 square feet. I wish to grow roses in this house. What piping will be needed to heat it to 63 or 70 degrees in zero weatlier? The west house is 30x65 and is to be used for car- nations. In it I want a temiterature of 50 to 55 degrees. I have a No. 3 Kroeschell boiler, the top of which is even with the floor of tlie greenhouses. The boiler has three 4-inch outlets and tliree 4-incli openings for returns. W. H.— Utah. We are not able to furnish any really definite suggestions for lieating tlie houses described, from the fact that the description is incomplete, and particu- larly because the amount of glass iu the walls is not stated. It also appears that an error has been made in computing the area of glass in the larger house. To have 6,000 square feet of glass in a house ."51x90, the glass in the walls on three sides of the house would liave to be more than twelve feet high. It seems more likely th<-it tliere will not 1)0 more than three feet of glass, and in that case we would use a 214-inch flow upon each plate and three others overlicad, placing one about throe feet below the ridge and one on each side about halfway between the lidge and the plates. For the returns we would use a coil of four 2-iiich jiipos on each side wall, or under each side bench, and three coils of three 2-inch pipes each under the otluM- heiichos, comiecting each of the coils with one of the overhead flows. If the 6,000 s(|uarc feet of glass are correct, we wouhl change the suggested pi])ing by substituting .T-inch flows for the wall i)lates, and using six 2-inch re- turns on each side of the house and four in each of the other return coils. In case the end of the hoiise is much ex- posed, one of the returns on each of the walls might be carried around the end of the house to a point beneath the ])ur- lin and connected with one of the over- head flow pipes. For the carnation house, 30x65, we would use three 2"'{.-inf"h flows, placing one upon each ]dato and the other two feet below the ridge, and connecting each of them witli throe 2-inch returns. This will sufllco for houses with 2V2 feet of glass in the side walls, but we PIPE, TUBES and FiniNGS NEW AND SECOND HAND All Sizes, Cut to Sketch. ■ 'r* ' Let us quote you before placing your order.

The flow pipes should run downhill and eacli should be connected with the expansion tank at its highest point. If one boiler is to be used for both houses, we would use two 4-inch flow and re- turn oi)enings for the rose house and one for the carnation house. One of the 4-inch flows might be carried up to a point about three feet below the ridge of the rose house, and, after being con- nected with the expansion tank, would branch and supply each of the flow pipes upon the jdates. The other 4-inch flow might be used in the same way to sup- ply the three overhead flow pipes.

Why then for fancy's sake or otherwise do you sit silently by and watch the unnecessary losses of fuel go on day by day ? It is your money that is lost— the waste harms everyone. Stop! Stop!! Stop!!! Many practical growers have solved this vital question. You can do so, too. The remedy is simple. Get a Kroeschell — the boiler of un- equaled fuel economy. It will pay you well.

Business, which had been dull since Easter, was given an impetus last week by the Mothers ' day sales. The demand for the day this year exceeded any pre- vious year. The rush began Thursday, was greater Friday and Saturday was the best day in several weeks. Of course there was a big demand for white car- nations and roses, but all flowers and plants sold well. Mothers' day is be- coming one of the biggest selling days of the year for Minneapolis florists. Prices went up, especially for carna- tions. There was a good supply, with large blooms and excellent stems. Boses were plentiful and the big demand was met by a supply of fine stock at good prices. American Beauties were hard to obtain and orchids were scarce. Sweet peas were in big demand and the sup- ply was exhausted in many of the retail stores. Some of the florists had a great vari- ety of stock, including poeticus, daf- fodils, daisies, stocks, irises, forget-me- nots, snapdragon and a few peonies and gladioli. Pansies and other plants are coming in and sell rapidly. Marguerite, geranium, hydrangea and rose plants also had a good sale. It was, however, diflficult to secure fine plants, as some of the greenhouses connected with ceme- teries are getting ready for outdoor work. This has been a great year for the seed business, especially in the sale of garden seeds. The warm, springlike weather the last of the week helped all branches of the trade. Various Notes. The Whitted Floral Co. has installed seed departments in both of its stores. At the Tenth street store there is a showing of a fine line of shrubs. The company reports a good business in both cut flowers and plants for Mothers' day. There were many artistic window dis- plays before Mothers' day. Swanson's, Inc., had a picture of "mother" as the central feature and around was ar- ranged a fine collection of cut flowers and plants. E. M. P.

If you have plants and want cash for them, or if you have cash and want plants for it, there is an easy way to accomplish either. Just put a classified ad in The Eeview and the results will move you to write like this: Kindly discontinue my ad for pansies. I have sold over 150,000 plants from your advertising medium alone. A cheap means of selling plants. —Riverside Gardens, H. L. Doubleday, manager, Uomer, N. Y., May 12, 1917. Kindly cancel my ad, as my plants are all sold. I could have sold 3,000 instead of 300. — Walter A. Amling, Maywood. 111., May 12, 1917. When you hear a man complain of the cost of advertising you can be pretty certain that he spends a good bit of money elsewhere than in The Eeview. MILWAUKEE. The week preceding Mothers' day was good and, while the weather still was cool, the sunshine helped the cut during the last of the \Veek. The de- mand for stock was extremely large and the shortage was most acute. Ke- ports in general show that the Avar as yet is not affecting the business un- favorably; sales compare favorably with last year's. Carnations, of course, were in the greatest demand and early orders speci- fied color and quantity, but on account of the scarcity of stock later orders were filled with anything and nothing was said about prices. Assorted stock sold at $6 straiglit, while whites brought $8. There were few splits on the market and these sold for almost as much as good stock. The assortment was good, and while white was most in demand, followed closely by red, the quantity of each was in good proportion to the total supply. , Eoses were in big demand and sold well. There was a shortage of the shorter grades and everything cleaned up in fine shape. Long stock moved nicely and the proportion disposed of demonstrated -^hat the trade in general is jiushing other stock than carnations for the day more heavily than in the past. Sweet peas were in heavy de- mand and there was not nearly enough to go around. The quality of this stock was good for this time of year and satis- factory prices were realized for the en- tire supply. Snapdragon also was called for in quantity and cut quite a figure in the market. Of course bulbous stock was on the wane, but what there was in the market was readily disposed of. Orchids sold well and there were some exceptionally fine cattleyas, which were disposed of at fair prices.

Witli the cold weather of the last fewj.weeks, caiuations and roses were alow ill coming. The result was a short- age, especially of carnations. The cool nights were just what the growers of bulbous stock wanted and daffodils and tulips were to be had in quantity. With- out these flowers to help out, the market •would liave been decidedly short of cut Howers. There were about enough to go around, carnations being the leaders. Roses, snapdragons, bal)y gladioli, irises, daffodils and Darwin tulips were ready sellers. The Cleveland flower buyers are be- ginning to realize the true significance of Mothers' day. Our local advertising is done with a view to teaching the public that the proper flower to give or wear on Mothers' day is not the ^^rhite carnation, as worn by Miss Jarvis, hxxt the flower that is, or was, the mother's favorite flower. The result is that flowers other than carnations were asked for and plants, such as (hydrangeas, spiraeas, rambler roses, gloxinias, tuberous-rooted begonias, daf- fodils and tulips, sold easily. Reports from all parts of the city show a large increase in the sales over other years. Mothers' day is getting better each year. It is not a question of whether tlie stock will sell, but rather of what can be had to sell. For Memorial day let us hope that geraniums at $1 per dozen and porch boxes at $1 per foot are things of the past. It is not necessary to organize to keep the jjrice uj). (Miargo a fair price for your stock, so that you can realize a fair profit and not a loss. Your neighbor is liurting no one but himself whett he undersells you. Geraniums and other bedding stock cost from ten to fifty per cent more to grow the last year than in other years. Grow good, select stock and you can get any fair price you ask. F. A. F.

Many growers had sweet pea vines filled with buds, which dropped off before blooming. Considerable quan- tities of sweet peas are now coming, how- ever. Carnations are plentiful and were in demand at high prices for Mothers' day. Other stock also has brought good prices. The indoor liulbous stock is fast dis- appearing from the market. Outdoor stock is not yet coming in large quan- tities, but some coldframe stock is ar- riving. Each week sees a larger quan- tity of bedding plants in the market. Geraniums are coming in good supply, and pansies are plentiful. Mignonette is in the market, and potted heliotrope has appeared. Easter lilies and callas are of excellent quality. Seeds con- tinue to sell well, although there has been some let -up on account of tlie weather. Various Notes. The Rosery Floral Co. has opened a new store at 775 Broad street. Philijis Bros, report a good run of funeral work, but say counter trade is a little slow just now. R. B. M. WIRE GOODS &"k^e POTATOES SCARCE- ^^^^^^ *iP^^^^ Bm^^ mm ROSE STAKES No. 9 Oalv.

Va., has had an un- interrupted demand for funeral work during the season. The business done during the month of April was the largest ever experienced by this firm, and, considering the condition of the country at large, this speaks well. Patriotism was the keynote of a fine window by the J. W. Dudley & Sons Co., of Clarksburg. There was a lar^e mag- nolia wreath, with a profusion of flags and tricolored ribbons. Miss M. Love has joined the force as a designer. ''Seeds that grow," besides much design work and counter trade, are keeping the H. Weber & Sons Co. store force at Clarksburg unusually busy. The large acreage at Oakmont, Md., "is being planted to vegetables. The Weber boys believe in "doing their bit" to increase the country's food supply. Joseph Haube, of Charleroi, Pa., is giving his usual assistance to the folks about Charleroi, telling them what and how to plant. The cold weather has retarded sales of bedding stock and has slightly checked the sale of seeds. C. W. Kinder, of Charleroi, is manu- facturing door wreaths for undertakers, and this has proven a successful ven- ture. I. V. Kinder is displaying "pa- triotic" baskets filled with spring flowers. It is said that a new flower store will be opened in Morgantown, W. Va., this season. The plans are being withheld, awaiting action by the local council. Leaman & Titherington have opened a store at Fairmont, W. Va. They have enjoyed a successful business since the opening. The new store of H. Weber & Sons Co. at Fairmont is a well-arranged one and most attractive. Seeds are given space in the rear. Marble-topped counters are on one side of the store, displaying ribbons and novelties, while plants are displayed on the opposite side. Sidewall cases are used to dis- play baskets and sundries. A tile floor and mirrors give a tone of richness desirable in a flower store. W. T. U. Grand Rapids, Mich. — Two green- houses are under construction at the range of the Eeed & Cheney Co.

The principal reason for this was the advertising of the down- town florists and the resulting busi- ness was good. Trade has been exceptionally good, especially on funeral work. Bedding plants have experienced a good sale and will without doubt continue to do so until Memorial day. Already nu- merous orders for that occasion have been booked by the florists. This will be the last remaining big day of the season, as practically all the schools will close with few, if any, decorations. Various Notes. Frederick Cole, of the Still Eiver Gardens, has opened a store at 95 Snow street for the sale of trees, shrubs and plants. The northern section of the state was visited by a snow storm May 5. The snow was more than an inch in depth in many places. William N. Craig, of Brookline, Mass., was the speaker at a meeting last week of the Fruit Hill Improve- ment Association, his topic being "Kitchen Gardens." One of the most attractive display windows recently seen in this city was that of T. J. Johnston & Co., on Wash- ington street. Palms and evergreens were used, with a miniature fountain irr the center and a score or more of canary birds flying about. Willis Hoyt, a graduate of the New Hampshire State College, has assumed his duties as superintendent of home gardens at North Attleboro. William E. Chappell, who has been on the sick list for several weeks, is reported to be improving. George Herrmann, of A. Herrmann, Inc., New York, was a visitor last week. An addition is being erected at the range of the Hoxsie Nurseries, at Hox- sie station. The concern expects to add two or three new houses in the fall. W. H. M.

The Florists' Review ~lm)m]' This is the Open Express model — selling complete at $715, F. O. B. Philadelphia. Vim Delivery Cars are also produced in eleven other standard types of bodies on the VIM half-ton Chassis — suitable for one hundred kinds of commercial delivery, as well as Public Service Corporations, Hospitals, Fire Depart- ments, Express Companies, Farm Delivery, etc. Owing to our city being so spread out, it was a difficult thing for us to make all our de- liveries with two horses. The VIM Truck does it now with the greatest ease and comfort, and we have never recommended anything with so much delight as we are doing the VIM Truck. VALENTINE BURGEVIN, Inc., Kingston, N. Y. HERE we have the old, old problem of a clientele scattered over a large territory — expensive to serve because of the unproductive distances between them. This is a situation that confronts every merchant at one time or another— the florist probably most of all. It is a condition that no delivery sys- tem had ever met successfully until the VIM Delivery came along, with its abil- ity, its economy, and its clean trick of putting the miles behind it in spite of crowded traflfic. The merchant who has known only the converted pleasure car type of truck has a new experience coming to him with the VIM. For the first time he will find efficient handling of his merchandise, the VIM al- ways on the job ; minimum repairs and replacement ; and less expense for gaso- lene and tires than he had thought possible. The VIM Delivery Truck is the most economical unit for delivering any load up to half a ton of merchandise. You ought to know the VIM Delivery Car, and Ithe lVIM Deferred Payment Plan. You use your VIM Car while you are paying for it out of the money the VIM delivery saves from the cost of your present delivery methods. 22,000 merchants have made VIM Delivery Cars pay for themselves $665. for the most efficient chassis for its work in the world— equipped (as illustrated). Fitted Our Deferred Pay- with any one of twelve types of body— hand- ment Plan should somely designed and strongly built — suitable interest every live for a hundred lines of business.

That the flower, known in an insig- nificant way for many years, but a regular item of stock in only one or two cut flower markets, tliis season has achieved a permanent place in the trade in practically all parts of America is recognized by many, bill how it came so suddenly to pass, with this flower of ancient origin, is not a matter of common knowledge. Here is the story: Ranunculuses, or, if you prefer the Latin, ranunculi, are as old as botanical literature. Parkinson mentions them in his Paradisus, and that was almost three centuries ago, in 1629. But it might al- most be said that the ranunculus was a stranger to the trade until this year; indeed, it would be a safe bet that not half the readers of this article ever have seen the bulbs or would recognize the plant with out the flower. Before the War. The buttercup is a member of the family, which is one of annual or perennial herbs, num- bering about 300 species, scattered all over the world, but mostly in the temperate and colder re- gions. This article deals only with the Turban ranunculus, R. asiatieus var. africanus of the botanists. The flowers are extremely double, al- most gobular, regular in outline, often exceed two inches in diameter, and are to be had in all the colors excei)t blue. The colors, moreover, are bright, clear and pure. Th "bulbs" of the ranunculus resemble tiuy clumps of dahlia roots; they look as much like spiders as anything. The bulbs are supplied by all Holland ex- porters, but they come only from one small locality, tlie town of Alkmaar. Xowliere else in the world does the fibrous-rooted ranunculus thrive as in the friable soil of the vicinity of this Dutch city of 20,000 i)eopk', some fifteen miles iiortli of Haarlem. Here, within a radius of five miles, the world's su])- ply of florists' rauunculusos is grown. Otiior crops of the district are Rjianisli irises, anemones and colchicuins. A before tlit'-war crop ot' ranunculus Ranunculus Romano> Brilliant Scarlet. bulbs at Alkmaar was 4,000,000 to 5,000,- (lOO. They are grown in small lots by scores of gardeners, who sell at or before harvest to dealers or larger grow- ers. The average gardener produces 25,000 to 50,000 bulbs a season. The crop is lifted in August and represents three years' work. Seeds furnish the start, and the seedlings are undisturbed for the first two years. A year before tiie crop is merchantable the tiny bulbs are lifted and spaced apart at replant- ing, as the third year gives the most iaj)i(l growth. In normal times by far the greater part of the Alkmaar crop of ranunculus bulbs went annually to France, all but a few hundred thousand s — at least 3,000,000 to 4,000,000 out of a possible production of 4,000,000 to 5,0D0,000. Along the Mediterranean the bulbs were planted outside, for cut flowers to be shipped to the mar- kets of Europe, Paris principally, but also to London, Berlin, Petro- grad and many other cities, for the ranunculus has had a vogue that has made it possible for the southern gardeners to find a profitable market for from 8,000,000 to 10,000,000 flowers each winter. The Embargo. But last summer, just as the crop of ranunculus bulbs was maturing at Alkmaar, the French government, following the lead of the British, prohibited the importa- tion of bulbs from Hol- land. The result was quite a few millions of ranunculus bulbs with- out a market, unless they could be worked off in America. Now you know how it happened that the ranun- culus was so much in evidence here a few weeks ago. Although limited quan- tities of ranunculuses had come into the cut flower markets in other years, the crop had as- 14 The Florists^ Review May 24, 1917. sumed no importance and was grown by- only a few specialists. Consequently, it was a distinct novelty to most flower buyers; even the name was unfamiliar. Also, there were a good many in the trade who did not know as much about the ranunculus as they will when they have read to the end of this article. But the flowers were a welcome addi- tion to the stock of many a flower store that had known them not before. They were new and they were useful; also, they were extremely pretty, and the way they keep was a surprise. Indeed, the keeping quality is one of the chief merits of the fragile-looking flower. The ones photographed for this article stood on the writer's table a week after they had served their purpose. Large Iiosses of Bulbs. The ranunculus, however, sadly dis- appointed many a grower who listened to the smooth-spoken Hollander and took on a quantity of bulbs for ' ' forc- ing." One can not "force" ranuncu- luses. If one tries to do so he scores a complete failure of his crop. Also, the requirements in the matter of water are exactly opposite from what one would deduce from the name and the native habitat which is supposed to be responsible for the appellation. Quite the opposite of requiring moisture, the Turban ranunculuses grown in green- houses must be kept on the dry side or the roots will rot and the stock will be lost. One grower accepted 200,000 bulbs dry. If the temperature is even a little high it will result in crooked stems, curved at the neck; good, strong, stiff stems are to be had only in a cool house. Cultural Directions. Here are cultural directions by a man who has scored a success with them: ' ' The roots usually arrive in October and are better if placed in the soil as soon as time will permit, although it will not harm them seriously if they are packed away in dry sand in a cool shed or cellar for some weeks. Pots, pans, flats or benches may be used for growing ranunculuses, but flats and benches give me the most satisfactory results. I have had good success by using flats five inches deep, planting the roots in late October, then placing in coldframes and covering with dry leaves on the approach of severe weather, pro- tecting sufliciently to exclude frost and housing the flats from the early part of February onward. ' * The compost used is light but toler- ably rich, consisting of three parts loam, one part leaf -mold, one part old, well decayed manure passed through a %- inch screen, and a generous dash of sharp sand. The flats should be well drained. ' ' For those growing a limited number, flats are to be recommended, but where bench space will permit the roots can be planted out four to five inches apart each way. I have had them do finely Ranunculus Hercules, Pure White, Somewhat Enlarged. last autumn and succeeded in flowering only 3,000. There were many others who failed; they grew them too warm and too wet. Properly handled, the plants will average from two to three flowers each, the blooming period being February to April. But the temperature should be 40 degrees to 50 degrees, not higher, and in an ordinary carnation compost, but the addition of some old manure, leaf- mold and sand made them still better. Another Method. "Another method of growing ranun- culuses which has given good results is to dot them between violet plants, particularly double ones, which make less leaf growth than do the singles and exhaust the soil less. A violet tem- perature, 40 to 45 degrees at night, is just what ranunculuses need, and, as they do not make a heavy growth which shades the violets appreciably and do not impoverish the soil, this method of culture can with confidence be recom- mended. "In a poorly drained bed or bench many ranunculus roots will rot, but given suitable porosity to allow water to pass away readily, any florist can grow these pretty spring flowers credit- ably. Strong fumigation where they are growing should be avoided. Occasion- ally green aphis may attack the foliage, but light fumigation will readily con- trol this. If the plants turn yellow it is a sign of overwatering, poor drainage, too high temperature, or a combination of the three. "It will not pay to attempt to carry ;, over ranunculuses a second season. The ^'- roots are so cheap in Holland that it 'would not pay to dig up the roots, and [even if they were saved and replanted [the crop of flowers would be almost Inothing." Why Bulb Prices Fluctuate. Confronted with the necessity of find- ing a new market for the 1916 crop of bulbs, it is natural that the price fell sharply, but last year was not the first one in which there was no profit for the Alkmaar growers; it had been bad in 1915 and worse in 1914. It looked as though something had to be done. So some of the principal factors in the ranunculus business at Alkmaar got to- gether, put up some money and bought up all the stock they could get their hands on. They destroyed what they thought they did not need. It was a case of restricting the output this sea- son. The result is that the price for 1917 is three times what the 1916 crop brought — and yet any grower who wants to follow the wonderfully increased popu- larity of the flower can get all the bulbs he wants at $6 per thousand along with his import order. Large importers will get them even cheaper and jobbers will not ask much more. Some Good Varieties. The Dutch catalogues list about a dozen named varieties of Turban ranun- culuses, they run the range of colors, but half the quantity grown has been the one variety Komano, brilliant scar- let. It is shown in the illustration on the preceding page. Merveilleuse in some of the catalogues is Citron in others. It is a clear orange yellow. Hercules is the white. Grootvorst, which is Hollandese for Great King, is a beautiful soft carmine. Souci Dor6, brownish orange, is a good seller, but the grower who goes in for ranuncu- luses will want an assortment, espe- cially if he retails his stock. Scranton, Pa. — Anton Schultheis has advanced the retail prices of bedding plants. One special item, geraniums, is $1.75 per dozen. He finds his patrons, with few exceptions, willing to pay this for good stock. His argument is that it is easier to sell well grown stock at an increase than poor stock at a low price, for the reason that the bet- ter the article, the more it is appreci- ated. The average buyer realizes the increased cost of production. May 24, 1917. The Florists^ Review 15 MOTHERS' DAY ECHOES I iN«vir)«vir)«vir)rivirirsvir/wrrsviri«\ir«>rt^rsviri«>rtrrw TWENTY-THREE OUT, NINE IN. Here is a florist who knows a good thing when he sees it. He is Cram- matte, florist and confectioner at Aber- deen, Wash., and he had thirty-two F. T. D. orders for Mothers' day, twenty- three out and nine in. Here is what he says about it: "Our city is only a place of 15,000 population and of course the amount of F. T. D. business coming to us would not be great, but I am interested in the matter, as I believe it is a wonderful thing for the florists. For Mothers' day we sent out seventeen telegrams and six letters and received four tele- grams and five letters from other florists, so we can see the possibilities of the work. ' ' A MOTHERS' DAY WINDOW. The Penn store in Boston has been a strong advertiser for many years and has made great progress by it. Even while located in a narrow side street good windows were maintained as a means of backing up the newspaper ad- vertising on which reliance was placed. Since removal to one of the best Tre- mont street corners it has been found advisable to devote greater attention to the window displays and some notable decorations have resulted. Mothers' day has been one of the occasions that seemed both easy and difficult to decorate for — the average florist put a borrowed picture of Mother, probably Whistler's, in the window amid the flowers and let it go at that. The Penn decorator developed the idea, using figures of a mother and child. The following description is in the gushy phraseology most publicity men seem to think they must use when they write it for the public, but the trade will get the idea: "The grand display in Penn's flower shop window will be long remembered by those who happened to be on Tre- mont street and Hamilton place during the week preceding Mothers' day. Many would have forgotten that mother was entitled to her bunch of flowers had they not passed and seen the little girl handing the bouquet to her mother, in forms so true to life as to sap a tear from thousands of spectators who stopped, meditated, and in most cases decided to enter and remember mother. "As usual, the display artist at Penn's did himself credit. The enor- mous window was enriched with photo- graphs of mothers loaned by Louis Fa- bian Bacharach, the photographer. The decorations consisted of snapdragon, carnations, iris and everything season- able in the flower world on the rich thoroughfare accommodating the best passers-by in Boston." THE LAST ECHO. Carnations and Mothers' Day. Although the trade's spotlight now is focused on Memorial day activities, and June with its brides is just around the corner, there still is time, before turning a leaf in the annals, for a brief retrospection of one of the features at- tending this year's Mothers' day busi- ness. During the dark, unseasonably cold days preceding May 13, there were those who decried all the publicity then being planned for Mothers' day. What good is there in such extensive advertising, said they, when the stronger demand thus created in all likelihood will fizzle out before a shortage of stock? The supply of white carnations, not to men- tion other items, will be far from ade- quate. The records for the day show that in many cases the supply of stock did miss the demand by a wide margin, and this is to be deplored; but there was an- other outcome, which probably will be of greater importance to the trade in the future, and that was the partial "fade- out" of the popular idea that the white carnation, and the white carnation alone, is the flower appropriate for and emblematic of Mothers' day. It was gratifying to note that nearly every florist who spent money in advertising the day did his share toward weaning the public from the white carnation no- tion. "Give her flowers" and "Send your mother her favorite flower" were the keynotes of the advertising that helped to shift some of the burden from the carnations. Gloeckner's Gumption. The florists' exploitation of Mothers' day this year was unprecedented as to volume, and for that reason undoubtedly many a son or daughter was disap- pointed at the eleventh hour because neither white carnations, nor red carna- tions, nor roses, nor sweet peas could be had at the florist's. But, taking an- other tack, this heavy advertising ini- tiated many into their first observance of Mothers' day, with the result that the pickings are likely to be easier next year. Among those who strove hardest to put carnations in the background for Mothers' day was William C. Gloeckner, of Albany, N. Y. As reported in last week's issue, Mr. Gloeckner sent to his customers a circular in the shape of a card, on one side of which he featured two special $1 boxes, one containing two bunches of sweet peas and the other a dozen roses. How did it work? Here is Mr. Gloeckner's report: "I sold more than 200 of these boxes for delivery Sunday morning. May 13, and it was the best thing I ever did, as the people asked for the special boxes and forgot all about carnations. I think that if all florists would try out spe- cials like mine, featuring stock that is likely to be plentiful for the day, we soon would educate the people away from the carnation idea." ODCN LETTER^y^ PEADEEi^ PRIZE MONEY TO RED CROSS. The schedule committee of the Morris County Gardeners' and Florists' Society at its meeting May 18 adopted a resolu- tion which may be a suggestion for other flower show committees. For twenty-one years this society has annually held a flower show in Madison, N. J., appropriating $1,000 as prize money. This year the society will simply give red, white and blue ribbons as the prizes, and the money usually devoted to prizes will be turned over to the American Chapter of the Eed Cross. The Morris county society draws its financial strength from the aristocratic Morristown, Madison and Bernardsville colonies, and doubtless the result will be a substantial contribution to the Eed Cross. The exhibitors are willing to forego the usual prize money for one year if by so doing they can alleviate conditions for our boys at * * the front. ' ' Charles H. Totty. No success. At last someone told us to use frogs, just common hoptoads. We advertised in a local paper, offering 10 cents each for nice, large, hungry hoptoads. The small barefooted boys soon began arriving, each with a toad in his hat. We put twenty-five of them in each house, 24x100 feet. Oh, those hungry toads! We took lanterns and went to see what they were doing at night, which is their feeding time. They were hunting like ferrets for those "sows." In a few weeks the toads were as big as coffee cups, restaurant size, and we have had no "sows" since. We keep toads, though, winter and summer, in all the greenhouses. Of course, the Illinois firm can buy all the toads wanted right at home, but if not, I suppose the Laurel small boy will fur- nish a supply. L. M. Smith. THE "DRIVE" ON SOWBUGS. Eef erring to the trouble that "large growing establishments in Illinois" had with sowbugs, I would say that we had the same trouble two years ago. Those confounded things (sow- bugs) nearly made us distracted. We tried everything anyone told us about. SOWBUGS VERSUS SLUG SHOT. After reading the article headed "An Army of Sowbugs," in The Re- view for May 10, it occurred to me that the growers whose stocks have been attacked by sowbugs might be inter- ested in the remedy I used successfully in exterminating these pests some time ago. I had a good crop of sowbugs in my carnation house and asked Benjamin Hammond, of Beacon, N. Y., for a good exterminator. Mr. Hammond recom- 16 The Florists^ Review Mat 24, 1917. mended one of his own preparations, Slug Shot, and told me to dust the Slug Shot between the plants, under the benches and along the walks. I did so and the results were gratifying. The bugs were cleaned out in' short order, and I certainly recommend Slug Shot to every florist who finds these lice in his houses. Alexander A. Laub. RETAIL STORE MANAGEMENT WHAT THE LEADERS IN THE TRADE ARE DOING FOR THE GIRL GRADUATE. The "sweet girl graduate" in June will share the spotlight with the bride and graduation is almost as important in her young life as is marriage to her older sister. When she steps forward to receive her diploma she will be wear- ing a new gown with a corsage or will carry a bouquet. Whether the corsage or bouquet is a gift or a purchase, it represents a sale by a florist. While the authorities in many cities and towns have placed a ban on flowers at public school graduations, in others there are girls' schools or coeducational institutions which still permit the girl graduates to wear or carry bouquets. The wise retailer will find out when and where schools of this character will hold graduation exercises. When the day is near he will put in his window a few of the class pennants and bouquets tied with the class colors — all classes have pennants and colors — -and suggest that flowers make appropriate gradua- tion presents and that his store is the place to buy them. Of course this suggestion is unneces- sary to a great many florists, who an- nually reap a rich harvest from gradua- tions. They, many years ago, realized the possibilities for business at gradua- tion time and have made the most of them. Elaborate window displays are made showing the bouquets and cor- sages for girl graduates. But many retailers are overlooking this chance for sales and, with a little effort, might increase their business in this way. INDIVIDUALIZING CIRCULARS. The sales manager of a concern doing a nation-wide business several years ago conceived the idea of "individualiz- ing" the letters he sent to customers of his firm. To do this he signed his name with green ink. In time he became known to the men who received his let- ters as "the man who uses green ink." Communications from this concern be- came to them letters from a man they knew, and not merely from an inanimate corporation. Everyone likes to do business with persons he knows. The flower-buyer is not different from the general run of buyers of other commodities. He will go out of his way to buy of a man he knows. For that same reason, circulars Bent to the florists' customers will be much more effective if there is some- thing about them that is personal. When we are sending out circulars for Memorial day, why not go through them yourself and have your clerks go through them, and on the ones going to persons known to us add with a pen some little inscription with yo\ir name or the name of the clerk signed to itf To do this will require a little time and effort, but the results will more than pay for both. By continuing the prac- tice whenever advertising matter is mailed, it will not be long before the letters will be opened and the contents read, instead of being given a mere glance as most circulars are. volume of business. It is of record that in this store 1,600 sales have been made within the space of one business day. WHO ARE THEY? In these days of scientific merchan- dising, the man who is following the lines of least resistance studies his field and shapes his methods in accordance with the knowledge gained. Some flo- rists, no doubt, study the demand, and the source of the demand, but there are many whose knowledge along these lines is decidedly limited. In this connection it is interesting to note that a certain florist in a good sized city considered the subject and concluded that he would find out as much as he could about the people who were buying his flowers. In the natural order of things he had the names of many of them. An investigator had no trouble in getting the facts that were wanted. It was found that the store was drawing the greater part of its patronage from salaried persons, those whose incomes ranged in most cases from $10 to $25 per week. The result was that the florist made it the policy of his establishment to cater directly to persons of moderate means; instead of wasting time trying to sell them some- thing out of their reach, he made it a point to provide things such as his peo- ple think they can afford. The result has been a remarkable increase in the A NEW CHARLESTON STORE. The business of F. L. & F. J. Aichele lias grown rapidly during the five years they have been in Charleston, S. C.

After visiting a flower show of the kind usually held, many of the public re- tain only an impression of a riot of confused and mingled beauty, with no distinct and vivid remembrance of in- dividual flowers or plants. Seeing the various exhibits one at a time, how- ever, with the name of each variety plainly written on a card attached to it, the novice is able to remember those which appear most attractive, for refer- ence when buying of the florist. ' ' There were less than a dozen ex- hibitors in the show, but some took more than one window of the largest stores. The holding of future shows of a similar nature no doubt will be aided and simplified by our experience. We found that the time we had chosen, for instance, had its good points, but that there were also some drawbacks. For example, it was possible to secure exhibits from privately-owned conserv- atories, but the florists were so busy on account of the Easter rush that they did not find it possible to make displays, except in two instances. There is no doubt, however, that the florists were interested. Why shouldn't they bet Frankly, I believe the idea of ^holding a flower show by having exhibits placed in windows along the main streets of the business section of the city offers the best opportunity for ad- vertising the florists' business. It is nothing less than bringing the flower show to the people. "There was practically no expense attached to the promotion of the show. The thing actually worked out almost automatically.

H. S. G. A NEW SHOW IDEA. Cheap But Good Advertising. Admittedly, the success of a flower show is determined not so much by a preponderance of exhibits as by the extent of the public's response in the form of attendance. As everybody knows who has served on a flower show committee, to fdl an exhibition hall with flowers and plants is ordinarily a matter of bringing sufTiciont pressure to bear on those capable of making ex- hibits, but the task of attracting the people to the show, whether or not there is an admission fee, is far from easy. Publicity "stunts" and advertise- ments are expensive, particularly so if the we.ither should happen to turn out unfavorably, or if the sliow committee did not display wisdom in selecting tlie location of the show rooms; and if per- chance the doorkeeper reports all at- tendance records broken, the show pro- moters will fiml small consolation in that should they figure out what per- centage of the population stayed at home. It is witii more than cirdin.-iry interest that the trade shonhl turn to the novel plan recently tried out at New Bruns- wick, N. .). Instead oi' leasing a hull and staging the exhibits therein, the flori.^ts of the city placed displays in the \arious store windov\s on the main busine>r;ict ically no expense attached to the iiromotion of the show.

J. Pruyser, a member of the firm of Westerbeek & Klyn, of Sassenheim, Holland, and the firm 's principal Ameri- can representative, authorizes the an- nouncement that he has completed ar- rangements for taking over July 1 the gladiolus farm of A. L. Eandall, at Ben- ton Harbor, Mich. Westerbeek & Ellyn, while they handle Dutch and French bulbs of all kinds, have made a specialty of the gladiolus. It is reported that their purchases of gladiolus bulbs in Holland this season practically cornered the market there, and against these purchases they made sales to a large number of customers in America, having at one time as many as seven men traveling here. When it began to be doubtful if the Holland stock would arrive in time for delivery, Westerbeek & Klyn went into the American market and bought great quantities of gladiolus bulbs with which to protect themselves with their cus- tomers. Among their purchases was the entire stock of the Cushman Gladio- lus Co., at Sylvania, O., where they al- ready had a considerable acreage being grown on contract from bulbs supplied by themselves the season before. The Uncertainty of Importing. The uncertainty which must surround the importation of stock as long as the war lasts has been the principal reason why Westerbeek & Klyn decided to establish a growing farm of their own, centrally located in America. The Cushman property was not available, nearly all the real estate having recently passed into other hands, which was the reason why E. H. Cushman retired from the gladiolus business. The Eandall property seemed well adapted to the needs and offered the great advantage of being a going concern. A. L. Randall, while a Chicagoan, has made his summer home at Benton Harbor, Mich., for many years. Through several purchases he has acquired a property of seventy-five acres practical- ly all within the city limits. He has de- veloped one of the largest stocks of gladiolus bulbs in the country; 1,500,000 America have been planted this spring, and, in addition, he has peonies and a considerable quantity of nursery stock on the property. Farm buildings and stock all are included in the pur- chase. No announcement is made of the consideration in the deal, but it is understood to be in the vicinity of $30,000. Three Million Bulbs. Westerbeek & Klyn, according to Mr. Pruyser, will ship what is left of the Cushman stock and plant it at Benton Harbor. This is said to include a num- ber of new, scarce and high-priced varieties. They contemplate an output of 3,000,000 bulbs for next season's delivery and it is understood that Ralph Cushman, son of E. H. Cushman, will have charge of the oflS^ce and shipping at Benton Harbor. Westerbeek & Klyn believe that the success of the Holland bulb dealer lies more in his alertness and hard work than in the soil or climate of Holland. They believe that a large number of other bulbs can be grown in America with the same satisfactory results as are obtained with the gladiolus. They believe that the business can be con- ducted in this country with as much economy as in Holland except for the higher cost of labor, and they believe that the labor cost will be repaid by certain other advantages. For instance, with gladiolus bulbs losses have oc- curred in both early and late ship- ments, sufficient in their opinion to cover the difference in the cost of growing in this country. With peonies, NOTICE Will go to press Tuesday, May 29, one day earlier than usual. This is because the regular press day, Wednesday, is a legal holiday. Consequently, those who want things printed in the issue of that week should see to it their letters reach the office of The Review MONDAY, MAY 28. shipments frequently arrived too late for fall planting, and the losses which have ensued will pay the difference in the cost of production in America. In- cidentally, a part of the stock acquired with the Randall purchase is a fine lot of Peony Jules Elie, of which no large stocks are said to exist either in this country or in Holland. Westerbeek & Klyn look forward to the day when they can grow hyacinths and tulips as well as narcissus bulbs in this country, and they believe that the establishment of the industry here on a commercial basis will be by men of experience in the business in Hol- land. Will Try to Grow Valley Pips. An attempt will be made to grow lily of the valley pips at Benton Harbor. Soil and climatic conditions are con- sidered to afford hope of success. In Holland it is said that the area planted to lily of the valley pips in the Ham- burg, Germany, district this year ap- proximates only one-fourth of what was a normal acreage before the war. It is reported from Germany that lily of the valley flowers have, during the win- ter just passed, brought prices consid- erably better than those which pre- vailed before the war and the growers of pips have planned to maintain the supply for the home market. Because of the lack of any prospect of being able to export and because of the need of food crops, the production of pips has been cut down to the extent of the quantity previously exported and the plowed ground has been put in food crops. Even if the war should end tomor- row, it will be several years before the supply of German valley pips equals that of normal seasons and anyone de- veloping an American supply will be assured good prices for at least three to five years, with the prospect that a protective tariff would be put on as a further assistance as soon as an American supply is assured. Mr. Randall's Reservations. It is understood that one of the terms of the sale of the Eandall gladiolus farm is that a certain quantity of cut spikes of America be shipped to Mr. Randall's wholesale cut flower house in Chicago this season, but Mr. Pruyser states that this was agreed to only as a means of putting the deal through, and that it will not be the firm's policy to cut and ship flowers after the com- pletion of the present contract. Mr. Eandall owns another tract of five acres a little farther out from Ben- ton Harbor, which he will retain as a summer home. BRIEF ANSWERS. H. B., Wis. — Brodifoa Howellii lila- cina. F.

A. F. for western Pennsylvania and is a charter member of the Pittsburgh Florists' and Gardeners' Club. Born in Pittsburgh in 1858, Mr. Ludwig in his youth helped his father, M. F. Ludwig, a flower grower and market gardener. At 25 years of age he went to New York city and served three years under Peter Henderson, Returning to his home city, Mr. Ludwig formed a partnership with his father.

But we have been fortunate. We have been able, for the first time in several years, to keep up with our orders. Could we have what was purchased and not de- livered, our sales would exceed our an- ticipations. "No, we cannot predict the futuro, either as to bulbs or plants from abroad, but we are making every effort to sup- ply the deficit so far as possible.

This, with Cibotium Schiedei as a companion, is seen in large numbers and is the pic- ture of health. Areca lutescens is yet popular. G. A.

I i ac^=c a^=ac a^c ac ac^c SEASONABLE x 9S SUGGESTIONS II=3C ac=3C ac=ic ac^c ac=ic a I Fuchsias. Fuchsias are good plants for fiUiug beds or borders that are in partial shade. In such locations they will flower well the entire summer. They also are useful for planting in piazza boxes or vases, when the receptacles are broken from the direct rays of the sun. These are also sjjlendid favorites in pots for sum- mer blooming. When tlius grown they need partial shading and an abundant water supply, to say nothing of plenty of liquid manure. Another use for fuchsias, and where they are seen to special advantage, is to grow them in well-made wooden or wire baskets. The variety Trailing Queen is superb when grown in this way, but almost any other variety with a little careful tying down makes a good basket subject. Hung from a piazza where they can get good light, not too much sun and an abundance of water, these fuchsias are among the most charming and satisfactory summer- blooming plants we have. I have seen huge baskets of Trailing Queen carried over for two or three years, and they were a wonderful sight. Some Linaria Cymbalaria is suspended far below the fuchsias, and the effect is exquisite. It is now too late to make up baskets of fuchsias, but plan to try some an- other season. I have in mind one grower who has no trouble in disposing of a good number each spring at $5 each. The same grower also finds that stand- ard fuchsias pay well, to say nothing of standard geraniums and heliotropes. Gardenias. In order to have gardenias of good size and to have them well established, planting should be done early in June. Prepare the compost for them at once if it is not yet ready. Gardenias dis- like a fine compost, and it is well to screen out all the fine soil. I find that in a compost of fibrous loam, flaky leaf-mold, not too much decayed, dried, lumpy cow manure and coarse sand, ^;aidenias do remarkably well, and are not attacked by the yellows as they are in a less porous soil. Give them a loarse, open compost, one through which water w-ill quickly pass, and if other I'ultural requirements are suitable you arc pretty sure to have green, healthy plants. Set the plantt; out fifteen inches apart each way. Leave a little basin around each plant and water in it, rather than soak the entire bed. As between raised benches and solid beds I have most faith in the former for the winter-blooming gardenias, as the soil is dried out better and the roots are warmer. Still, some successful spe- cialists get good winter cuts in solid beds. Gardenias like a warm, moist house, not less than 60 degrees at night. They need frequent syringing to keep the insects in subjection and, of course, need some pinching and tying up as the growth advances. Planting Out Hard-Wooded Stock. It is at best somewhat doubtful whether any azaleas will arrive in America from Belgium next fall. If the great war continues, as seems prob- able, none will come. Therefore, un- sold stock should be well cared for, as it will sell well next winter. A good place for azaleas in summer is a cold- frame; or a frame-shaped enclosure with sides of boards or planks will suit them finely. Use a compost of loam, leaf-mold and sand; also a little old, well-decayed and pulverized manure. Planted out in such a soil and kept well watered and syringed, azaleas will grow splendidly and set buds in profusion. They can be lifted and potted about the end of September. Ericas can be treated the same as azaleas. Thev will do in ordinary gar- den loam if it is free from lime. Calen- dulas which show signs of starvation will also be much improved by planting out. Boronias, acacias and genistas are all better if kept in pots and plunged. All these hard-wooded plants should be planted out where a good water sup- ply is conveniently near. The camel- lias prefer a little shade, but all others do better in full sunshine. Stock Plants for Bedding. Care should be taken to reserve an adequate number of stock plants in the bedding line, such as geraniums, cannas, lobelias, ageratums, coleus, etc., for an- other season. Too often, when calls are many and" insistent, we are prone to let our stocks be so depleted that prac- tically nothing is left for planting out. This is a great mistake. See to it that you hold back and plant out an adequate number, either in beds and borders near your home, or in nursery rows. In geraniums it is particularly necessary to save strong, healthy stock. If this Avere more generally done, there would be far less disease than there now is. In the case of fuchsias a good plan is to shift along a few plants and plunge them outdoors in partial shade. Helio- tropes and coleus can be satisfactorily treated in the same way, only give them full sunshine. Pot-grown plants make a stockier and shorter-jointed growth and furnish the best type of cuttings for successful propagation. QUICK ACTION AT LOMBABD. There are not many new greenhouse establishments being built this year, this season's building being principally additions to already prosperous ranges. But at Lombard, 111., one of the interest- ing new establishments is in process of rapid completion. The Lombard Floral Co., recently incorporated with $30,000 capital stock, has as its principal owner Danford Abrams, a man well known locally as a large owner of land and a large stockholder in the Lombard State bank. The practical man associated with him is J. G. Schumann, who is well acquainted in the trade, having until recently been foreman for Wendland & Keimel Co., at Elmhurst, 111., and before that a partner in the firm of Schumann & Kohout, at Libertyville, 111. Prior to that Mr. Schumann wa« rose grower for Bassett & Washburn, and at Hinsdale, 111., was one of the first of the western growers to make a conspicuous growing of Killarney. When Messrs. Schumann and Abrams make up their minds, they act with dispatch. April 16 they made a contract with the John C. Moninger Co., Chicago, for the erection of two all-steel greenhouses, each 35x450 feet. May 12 the photo- graph here reproduced was made, and May 17 glazing on one of the houses was in progress. In addition to the two large greenhouses, a service building with chimney and boiler space for four more houses of similar size is being built. The Lombard Floral Co. wiU plant roses exclusively, and it is under- stood the crop will be sold in the Chi- cago market by Kyle & Foerster. New Range of the Lombard Floral Co., Lombard, III. Oshkosh, Wis. — Two pipe frame houses, each 18x50 feet, are being erected by Fugleberg & Flister, the material being furnished by the Ajneri- can Greenhouse Mfg. Co., Chicago. Mr. Fugleberg was so enthusiastic about them that his neighbor, Ward B. Davis, has placed an order with the same concern for two pipe frame con- struction houses, each 21x108 feet. Max 24. 191T.

The Market. Business last week was brisk, spring weddings constituting the major por- tion of the demand. Summer tempera- tures prevailed and accelerated the de- mand for bedding and vegetable plants. The sale of seeds is booming, and it is believed that the warm weather has revived the interest in home gardens to a considerable extent. There is a great deal of shrubbery still being planted. Geraniums have met with the largest call. Coleus and other foliage plants are also in big demand. The supply of cut flowers has been moderate since Mothers' day. Carna- tions have been in small supply, but roses have been more plentiful. Sweet peas are in good supply. Lilacs are be- ing used to a great extent in wedding decorations, as well as fruit blossoms. Calendulas, snapdragons, pansies, for- get-me-nots and other small flowers come in for a great part of the demand. Various Notes. The Vesey Floral Gardens, on the lower Huntington road, were sold last week to the Doud Real Estate Agency. W. J. & M. S. Vesey have sold out their large supply of tomato plants, which wholesaled at from 35 to 75 cents per dozen. Several hundred muskmelon plants have been started in the green- houses. This firm is cutting excellent Shawycr roses, the cut from one house averaging 1,000 per day. The Alien county fruit crop was dam- aged to a great extent during the night of May 9 by a frost, which nipped nearly half of the open blossoms. A. J. Lanternier & Co. were busy with weddings last week, the largest being the Hogan-Matson wedding. Easter lilies, Shawyer roses, lilacs and south- ern smilax were used in the decorations of the church and home. The Flick Floral Co. is cutting some splendid Sunburst and Shawyer roses. The force has been busy during the last week with weddings and decorations for prenuptial affairs. The Wagner Floral Co., of Columbia City, Ind., is shipping some fine roses and sweet peas to this market. The Schilling Greenhouses, on the Bluffton road, have a fine supply of to- mato, cabbage, lettuce and other garden plants, and they are experiencing m heavy demand for these. The Doswell Floral Co. is showing some splendid Spanish irises and Spen- The Editor is pleased when a Reader presents his ideas on any subject treated in As experience is the best teacher, so do we learn fastest by an exchange of experiences.

Rice Co., of Philadelphia, Pa., was a visitor in this city last week. R. F. USINGEB'S UTTEBANCES. McFarlands, Florists, at Akron, Ohio, sustained a serious loss from a fire adjoining their greenhouses. One de- livery truck and a large stock of corru- gated and cut flower boxes were de- stroyed. Efficient work of the fire department prevented the loss of the entire place. Business was continued without interruption, A new truck was secured in six days and the mail the morning after the fire contained an order for more boxes. "There are wars and rumors of wars," but there is nothing like find- ing an unstamped envelope under the door and instead of a "Black Hand" letter, "Enclosed please find check" was its contents. Inscriptions on pillows are cause for much merriment and serious thought. One of the late ones was "Age 54," and another, on a design sent to a de- ceased fireman, was "Gone to his last fire." Arthur Langhans, of Wheeling, W. Va., commenting on the season's work and business done at the holidays, saya the florists throughout the country have little cause for worry over the attack on the "luxuries" the country is sup- posed to be expending its money on. With all the economy advice given out by the newspapers, the florists' busi- ness continues as it never has before. It will be a wise florist who does not back down in these excitable times, but continues as though we were at peace with all the world. Adgate & Son, of Warren, Ohio, are preparing for a continuance of good business during the summer months. "It has held up well this far, so why not get ready for more during the next few months?'' is Mr. Adgate 's opti- mistic view. Charles Nelson, of Wellsville, Ohio, has enjoyed an unusually good business. Plants arc beginning to move with the coming of warmer weather and a ban- ner season is expected. Cliarles Peterson, of East Liverpool, Ohio, has liis houses stocked with bed- ding plants. The weather has affected his sales somewhat, but present indica- tions forecast a clcan-up of all stock. Funeral work has been heavy, and Man- ager Kiel wears a broad smile. A. C. Eastwood has opened a retail store at Alliance, Oliio. He formerly was manager of the Lamborn Floral Co. A. T. Pollard, the florist in Rotary, of Canton, is enthusiastic over the work the local Rotary Club is doing, espe- 22 The Florists' Review Mat 24, 1917. cially in its preparations for assisting in a greater production of foodstuffs for the city. Mr. Pollard is ' ' doing his bit" in more ways than one. H. T. Miller, of Alliance, has a hobby for automobiles. He has just purchased his third car. The Newton Flower Shop at Canton, Ohio, has been enjoying a nice trade. The store is conducted by Miss Irma Newton. The Geltz Flower Store at Canton now is in first-class shape. A small fire some time ago made repairs necessary. Business is good. Charles Lindacher, of Canton, was in his garden getting vases and baskets ready for the plant season. The in- clement weather helped in the work, for so soon as it gets warmer, orders come in so that there is a great rush. The Kay-Dimond Co., of Youngstown, Ohio, has felt the scarcity of flowers to such an extent that stock has been purchased from private growers. Busi- ness seems to be never ending, and every department is working at top speed. H. H. Cade, of Youngstown, has been unusually busy, funeral designs making a big part of the work. The counter trade, too, has been brisk. W. T. U. NEW YORK. The Market. At last we have had with us the good old summer time, and it was a visitor long expected and more than welcome. The final days of last week and the opening of the present one were flooded with sunshine, while the thermometer registered 70 degrees, indicating large shipments, especially of roses, before the week is over. The nearness of Memorial day is expected to keep the market steady. There was no shortage of anything last week. Friday and Saturday the large buyers were in the market. One florist was given his usual annual order by a society for more than 100,000 flow- ers. The street merchants were a wel- come help in the weekly olean-up, and there was a multitude of them. Many of these helpful gentry will be missed when they depart for their regular sum- mer stamping ground at Coney Island. The shipments of roses Saturday, May 19, were more than the market could digest. Prices fell to 75 cents per hun- dred for the short-stemmed and even lower in large lots. The finest were dis- posed of at half their normal prices. Even Hadley, Brunncr and American Beauty roses shared in the general de- cline and $20 per hundred would buy the best of them. Russell and Prima Donna, long-stemmed and perfect, brought lower prices than usual. The present week can hardly develop lower quotations than those of Saturday. As was anticipated, the price of car- nations fell rapidly after Mothers' day. From $10 to $3 per hundred tells the story. From $2 per hundred down is the prophecy for this week, and there is enough for the demand. Orchids range from 15 to 50 cents each, the latter for a few choice gigas. The general supply of the lower grades is abundant. Some good flowers could be selected as low as $25 per hundred. There will be plenty for the extra call for Memorial day. The supply of lily of the valley still is limited and the price is high, $5 and $6 per hundred being asked. Outdoor valley now is arriving, and it seems certain that abnormal prices will be eliminated. There are few gardenias ar- riving. The season for them is about over. Longiflorum lilies are abundant, especially those of the second grade. These were selling at the end of last week as low as $3 per hundred, while $5 and $6 per hundred were the best quotations. These also will grow steadier until Memorial day. Peonies are coming fast from Vir- ginia. Good flowers were $1 per dozen Saturday. The local supply will not be on time for the holiday, but the shipments from the south promise to be large. A big increase in the supply is expected by the end of the present week. Plenty of lilac now is arriving and the local supply soon will be abundant. There is also a large supply of sweet peas, tulips, daisies, stocks, irises, calen- dulas, pansies, daffodils and all seasona- ble flowers. Various Notes. Memorial day business promises to beat all former records. The supply men never booked so many orders in advance. There seems also to be only a limited stock of greens. The Choate funeral last week called for an unusual number of flowers, all the leading stores being represented by handsome pieces. Rarely is there so large a showing of flowers of the best quality, and the demand seemed to strengthen the market for the day. For the present the Malandre window is used to feature a wedding decoration. It includes the bride and flower girl, with appropriate bouquets and a hand- some mantel embellishment. The flag decorations at this store during the last three weeks caused considerable com- ment. There is a movement among the wholesalers to close their stores on Sundays between June 1 and Septem- ber 1. Business continues good with all the seed houses. Most of them now are handling plants. The necessity for night and day shipments is past, but customers still have to line up and take their turn, so great has been the subur- ban demand. Work is under way to raise $10,000 for the entertainment of S. A. F. con- vention visitors. Chairman T. B. deForest and Secretary L. W. C. Tuthill are working on the soivenir, a copy of which every member of the S. A. F. will receive. Vice-President Miller is visiting about twenty-three houses a day, concocting "surprises" for the crowd that is expected. Alfred H. Fisher, a grower and well- known florist, of Winfield, L. I., was found dead in his bed Tuesday morning, May 15. Death was due to heart dis- ease. Mr. Fisher was 50 years of age and leaves a wife and four children. The New York wholesale headquar- ters of the Beechwood Heights Nursery, of Boundbrook, N. J., at 57 West Twenty-eighth street, is closed for the season. Warren Spalding, who was manager of the office when stricken with paralysis, has so far recovered that he could be removed from the hos- pital to his home. It is rumored that one of the promi- nent wholesale cut flower firms will rise to a higher and more convenient level June 1. The war does not seem to have affected this branch of the florists' business. J. J. Coan says he can not under- stand the apathy of buyers to the par- rot tulips now on the market in quan- tity. Phil Kessler has added to his ice- box facilities the one formerly used by W. H. Siebrecht, Sr., with J. S. Volke as manager. Charles Millang is having success with the flower bulb and vegetable de- partments of his business on his prop- erty at Bayside, L. I. The United Cut F16wer Co. hangs out the largest flag that belligerent Twenty- eighth street displays. J.

Trav- elers will miss the picture gallery that helped to pass the time when wait- ing for the car. Auburn, N. Y. — Alfred Patrick says it is hard to teach an old dog new tricks, or, in other words, to practically change over one's entire method from forcing imported stock. This year, however, was so disappointing that any change must be for the better. Beacon, N. Y. — Believing that every man should do his "bit," Benjamin Hammond has interested himself in the home garden brigade, and become drill- master of about 500 youthful gardeners. Mr. Hammond and his agrarian cohorts have come into local prominence through the town dailies, which have stinted neither paper stock nor ink in recruiting the brigade. Skaneateles, N. Y. — Archie Patrick has made many improvements to the former White range, and feels much encouraged with his first year's busi- ness. Canandaigua, N. Y. — R. H. McKerr says Matchless is the most profitable carnation with him. It has one draw- back— its soft growth makes it sus- ceptible to the attacks of green fly. Business has kept up well and Mr. Mc- Kerr anticipates his usual run of spring sales. Binghamton, N. Y. — The Suskana Greenhouses found orders coming in so freely through their ad that they had to shut down for a breathing spell. Excellent stock is in sight, especially a big batch of cyclamens. From present appearances, here and else- where, cyclamens will cut quite a fig- ure in the list for Christmas trade this year. The poinsettia is another item; it will be a good companion. Mat 24, 1917. The Florists^ Review 23 CINCINNATI. The Market. Toward the end of last week the sup- ply of stock increased tremendously, so that by the first of this week everything was plentiful and was crowding in the wholesale houses. Local business seems to be quiet, but the shipping business is fair. Eoses, which are in heavy supply, in- clude excellent blooms of Russell, Ophelia and Sunburst. Carnations, too, are extremely plentiful, and Easter lilies are in excessive supply. Snapdrag- ons are beginning to accumulate and gladioli are now piling up. To the stock from the south has been added the cut of several local growers. Peonies are more than plentiful. Other offerings include callas, valley, sweet peas, corn- flowers and irises. Greens are plenti- ful. The new southern ferns are meet- ing with an excellent demand. Various Notes. C. E. Critchell is experiencing a good sale of the new southern ferns he is re- ceiving from the south. P. J. Olinger reports that he has booked many large orders for Decora- tion day for out-of-town points. George Klotter has begun to cut cornflowers. L. H. Kyrk received the first batch last week. Among recent visitors were Mr. and Mrs. Floyd Anderson, of Xenia, O.; George H. Moores, of Wilmington, O., and Joseph Hill, of Richmond, Ind. C. H. H. INDIANAPOLIS. The Market. The crop that was anticipated for Mothers' day is now on in full force. Local florists are bemoaning the fact that a little of last week's sunshine did not come a week sooner. A day or two of sunshine awakened all the stock and now the market is in a glutted con- dition. Sweet peas are especially plen- tiful in the short and medium stems. Roses are abundant and an enormous supply of Easter lilies is on hand. Car- nations are in ample supply, but they are not too numerous. Nearly all other flowers are in excessive supply, with the exception of gladioli, which move well at $1 per dozen, but are in limited quantities as yet. Outdoor valley is holding a small place in the market, as it is in demand for corsage work. During the early part of the week business was brisk, but it diminished toward the middle and dragged toward the end. Saturday there was an accu- mulation of stock and the demand was sluggish. Numerous street boys and venders tried to encourage buyers. The warm weather, coming so sud- denly, but not unexpectedly, brought with it a better demand for bedding stock, although as yet the business can- not be called rushing. Prices are uni- formly higher this year than last. Gera- niums that brought $1 at retail last year are bringing $1.50 this year, while the $1.50 grade is bringing $2. Other stock that sold at 50 cents per dozen is now making 75 cents. There is a demand at present for the filling of cemetery vases for Decoration day. Porch boxes and flower beds are also being attended to and it is thought that a week or two more will see this stock well under way. From indica- tions, the numerous vegetable gardens will not affect the number of flower gardens, etc. The people seem to have the garden fever. Once again the green situation is about normal, with the exception of fern leaves. These are inferior and higher priced. Various Notes. Samuel Seligman, of New York, called on the trade on his way back from a two weeks' vacation at Hot Springs. Hensley's have a patriotic electric sign in their display window, represent- ing the "spirit of 1776." Isaac Bayersdorfer, of Philadelphia, was a recent visitor. The committee making plans for a tornado insurance organization held a meeting last .week at the Smith & Young Co. place. It will have its report ready for the next meeting of the State Florists' Association of Indiana. This meeting will be held Friday, June 1. The place of meeting will be announced later. W. W. Coles and family, of Kokomo, motored to the city May 21. The Claypool Hotel Florist had a record-breaking day May 19. The offi- cers' reserve corps at Fort Benjamin Harrison was given a few hours' leave of absence and the young soldiers with their sweethearts nearly bought Mr. Bookedis out. Paul Tauer, of Lebanon, accompanied by his family, recently visited the city. Baur & Steinkamp have completed their installation of the Skinner system of irrigation. Fred Kiel is now with the Rocpke Floral Co. John Chisholm has returned from Cin- cinnati. A heavy Memorial day business is anticipated on account of the height- ened patriotic spirit. The florists are being greatly bothered by individuals who try to make money out of little patches of valley. Local growers are receiving numer- ous calls for tomato plants. One would think that florists specialized in this line, from the calls received. While Indianapolis is one of the best cities in the United States, sometimes its political management gets on the nerves. Peter Bogies, who conducts a flower booth at 17 North Illinois street, was arrested for selling flowers on Mothers' day. He was tried in the justice of the peace court and fined $10. A law prohibiting Sunday selling has been in existence for a number of years, but has never been enforced until just recently in a few cases. All the florists in the city have been keeping open until noon, and a few all day, but this has been the first time there has been any trouble. A movement has been started by local tradesmen to eliminate Sunday business, but it has not as yet made much headway. E. E.

The United States Cut Flower Co., of Elmira, was able to supply only a small part of the carnations for Mothers' day. Superintendent King commented on the many inquiries and orders, indicating a general shortage or anticipating an unusual demand. Stock was fine. The roses look promis- ing— Ophelia, Hoosier Beauty and Mock, in the order named. Shawyer is giving satisfaction, so much so that it is regretted there are not enough young plants to fill one of the new King houses nearing completion. The truss house stands high in the opinion of this company. John B. Rudy, of Elmira, believes that the demand for bedding plants, and flowering stock generally, will be fully equal to that of previous years, judging from the inquiries and orders he has received. He has an excellent supply. Frank Durand, of Rawson's, Elmira, remarked that it was a most unfor- tunate circumstance that the white car- nation is the floral emblem for Mothers' day, as many would-be purchasers are unable to be supplied and cannot be induced to take any other flower. As to the advisability of founding a Fathers' day, Mr. Durand thinks that a practical survey and analysis of the subject should be made, and that the association sponsoring the day should decide on a flower or plant comparative- ly easy to supply. R. J. Roskelly, of the Bool Floral Co., Ithaca, N. Y., remarked that Prof. Lumsden had returned to Cornell from his sojourn at the new W. J. Palmer & Son flower emporium at Buffalo. Something surpassing anything yet at- tempted in floral display work is ex- pected. All hands are on the qui vive. Everyone esteems the opinion of the professor. W. & T. Cass, of Geneva, N. Y., have a large nursery connection and men- tioned that on account of the scarcity of labor they have filled orders and con- tracts with trees that could be dug by machinery. The birch is one among many. The season is late and planting drags along. Absence of imported stock necessitates a change in the program of wliat to grow for next season. Such stock as primulas has sold better than ever and with gera- niums, grown as they are by the Cass men, there is no reason why fine stock cannot be had for Christmas. A scarlet geranium in a 6 or 7-inch pot or pan will sell well. Nephrolepis bos- toniensis and Whitmanii are grown in large numbers. The usual batch of lilies cleaned up well; now the question is, "Will the 'gigs' arrive on time from Japan?" "We plow the fields and scatter the good seed on the ground," observed J. Dann, of Dann & Son, Westfield, N. Y.; * * sometimes we are rewarded for our labors. We planted an ad in the classi- fied columns of The Review, for cannas, and received orders for more than 10,- 000, the orders coming from all parts of the district between the Great Lakes and the Gulf of Mexico. Tliat is 'going some.' Another special is tomatoes, in boxes, grown largely for home trade." W. M. 24 The Florists^ Review Mat 24, 1»1T. r 1 3C^ Establlehed, 1897, by O. L. GRANT.

The Review brings results. Some of those Hollanders are wonder- fully progressive people. What would you give per thousand for Paper Whites that were all 12-centime- ter? At the moment it is almost impossible to buy Pocahontas coal in quantity at any price. Relax no effort to grow good stock and give good service ; it never paid bet- ter than it will now. In the midst of any excitement ordi- nary business is likely to be forgotten — unless it is advertised. The sale of bedding plants never be- gins until after the bulbs have passed out of bloom and this year the season of bulb bloom has been prolonged to an un- usual degree by cool weather. When a subscriber writes to The Re- view, complaining of the stock received from an advertiser, investigation nearly always sliows that the offer was the cheapest price of any advertised at that time. It seems to be human nature to want to get something for nothing, or for as near nothing as possible. It is the opinion of well informed men that general business will be unusually active in the United States by next au- tumn, and that the average man, except for paying his share of the cost of war, will be making better money than ever before. As human nature changes slow- ly, if at all, it is difficult to see how the florists' trade can be otherwise than good. Professor A. C. Beal, of Cornell Uni- versity, is the author of * ' The Culture of Garden Roses," recently published as Lesson 121 of the Cornell Reading Course. The supply of Mrs. Russell rose plants again is well cleaned up and most of those who make a specialty of this rose have obtained better prices than in previous years. Russell is worth more money than any other forcing rose, if for no other rea- son, because the percentage of failures in the grafting case is higher than with other varieties. Nearly every grower of cyclamens has set aside a few plants for seed production, because of the improbability of obtain- ing German seed this year. One of the results of the war may be that we shall become self-reliant in this respect, but the average American grower is too slapstick in his methods to compete for quality with the painstaking, trained European growers of special strains of flower seeds. The friends of the telegraph delivery idea should be careful not to handicap its development by promising too much. Orders of too small value should not be encouraged unless it is certain they do not call for a long delivery trip and too great speed should not be promised; there will be either a large percentage of failures or the orders will become unwelcome to the man who is called on to execute them at twenty per cent dis- count. TRADE PROSPERITY. Rarely a week passes that the news- letters in The Review do not contain items which demonstrate that the trade as a whole is prosperous. When it is recorded that this retailer has purchased a new auto truck, or has added one to his delivery service; that a grower is erecting several additional thousand feet of glass on his range; that another retailer has moved into his new store, which is equipped with the most modern refrigerators and other fixtures, could there be greater indications of our busi- ness prosperity? Apparently, the trade does not believe that retrenchment is the order of the day; that it is necessary to sit back and await developments. Instead the members of the trade are going right ahead preparing for a greater year than the last one. Such faith is bound to get the proper reward. PRICE READJUSTMENT. it is an old trade axiom that where there is a demand there always will be a supply. But no matter what the de- mand, the supply will not be forthcom- ing unless tliere be recompense for the individual who furnishes it. There is always a demand'for flour, and there is always a supply, provided the would- be purchaser is willing to pay the price, wliich is fixed by the cost of raw ma- terial and production, plus a profit for the manufacturer. Growers in the central states believe the time lias come for a trade readjust- ment, based on the increased cost of pro- duction. It is proposed that a meeting 1)0 held in Chicago June 19 and 20, at which growers can exchange ideas upon this subject. Such a meeting is the logical method by which to arrive at a solution of the troubles of the growers. If costs of production have risen, and there seems no doubt but what they have, then it naturally follows that the selling price must be raised. The grower is just as much entitled to a fair return on his investment and labor as is the miller who supplies the demand for flour. WHERE IT IS READ. It takes an awful lot of pounding to get a certain type of florist to wake up to the fact that there is a better means of selling stock than the one heretofore employed. Some who READ The Review regularly will not advertise in it because it is PRINTED far from their home! They cannot realize that it is not where a paper is PRINTED, but where it is READ that counts. WHY PUT IT OFF? It is the weekly experience that a number of orders concerning advertise- ments are received too late for atten- tion for the current issue of The Review. It is stated conspicuously in each issue that "it is impossible to guarantee the insertion, discontinuance or alteration of any advertisement unless instructions are received by 4 p. m. Tuesday," at 'which time the last of that day 's mail is delivered. But there are advertising orders every Wednesday, and even on Thursday and Friday. A surprising number of advertising orders come Tuesday by telegraph. Just why should a man wait until Monday night and then send a long night letter telegram, subject to the many errors of telegraphic transmission, when acting a few hours earlier, to catch the Monday mail train, would accomplish the same thing at one-twenty-fifth the cost, and with twenty-five times the certainty f Nor is The Review the only one that gets much business by telegraph that might better be transmitted by mail. Wholesale florists say they get any num- ber of telegraph orders where a letter, by posting a little earlier, would have accomplished the result with greater assurance of accuracy. It seems as though one of the places where the trade could save money would be by breaking away from its habit of procrastination. Use the mails instead of the telegraph. CHICAQO. The Market. Talking in terms of the stock ex- change, one might say that the bottom fell out of the wholesale cut flower market last week. From a position of what seemed almost impregnable strength the market experienced a sud- den, shejer fall the middle of last week which transformed it at a blow from a sellers' to a buyers' market. With the hot weather that suddenly came upon fur-garmented Chicago, a super- abundance of stock flooded into the market and brought distress to whole- salers. City trade fell off heavily; in fact, it might almost be said without exaggeration that there was none. Shipping trade fared a trifle better and from one or two quarters there even comes the sanguine report that it was good, but that was certainly not true of the majority. The main part of the shipping business is for school com- mencements, although weddings also figure in the demand. Probably the only exceptions to the general debility of the market are Max 24, 1»17.

American Beauties, though consider- ably weaker than at last report, were, nevertheless, a good selling item. All other varieties of roses were in large supply and sold practically for what could be obtained for them. Russells were the best sellers, but even they were far from satisfactory. Carnations were in heavy supply, but the demand was entirely lacking and they proved a difficult item to dispose of at almost any price. Peonies and lilies were probably as good sellers as any other item, greens excepted. Peonies were in a little larger supply than they have been. The sea- son is again about two weeks late this year, but an ample supply is expected for Memorial day. Valley was in suf- ficient supply. Orchids are, if anything, a little scarce. There were plenty of stocks, but they moved slowly. Calen- dulas are about out. Mignonette and Spanish iris were both in large supply, but did not sell well. Baby gladioli found a fairly good market. Sweet peas were in immense supply, but there was practically no call for them and good stock was gladly disposed of at nearly any price. There was consid- erable waste. Lilacs were not in large supply and experienced a fair sale. Snapdragons dragged. Silver Pink be- ing, as usual, the best seller. Some candytuft which has made its appear- ance is finding only a fair reception. Darwin tulips still sell moderately well. Greens, as before stated, alone enjoy a position of strength. The weather in the south has made for a noticeable shortage. Flat ferns are easily sold at the quoted price, the tendency being towards an advance. Mexican ivy is scarce. Asparagus is just about in suf- ficient supply and is selling well. There is only a little smilax to be had. Memorial Day Prospects. The weakness of the market, coming unexpectedly, has caused some uncer- tainty as to Memorial day prospects, although it is the general belief that the market conditions have been solely the result of unseasonable weather. With the market heavily loaded with all kinds of seasonable stock except peonies, it is difficult to foresee a short- age for Memorial day, with the heavy shipping days now less than a week away. The weakening of the market has had some effect in checking the stream of Memorial day orders, but most of the wholesale houses have been booking orders steadily and the num- ber now in hand probably exceeds that at this date in other seasons. Peonies are extremely late this year and it seems doubtful if there will be more than a small fraction of last year's quantity available for the opening days of next week. The result, coupled with the small supply of cape jasmines, will be to turn the demand to roses and car- nations and it is quite possible that in spite of the overloaded condition of May 24, 1917. The Florists^ Review 27 For Memorial Day Never before have we experienced such a heavy advance demand for Peonies as this year. We therefore suggest that you place your order with us now, as it is impossible for us to guarantee delivery on last-minute orders. Our prices are $4.00, $().00 and $8.00 per 100. As present indications point towards a marked shortage of Car- nations and Short Koses for Memorial Day, we believe you will find the Gladiolus a welcome addition to your stock.

It is a general experience that the individual orders are larger than last year. It also is apparent that many buyers who placed only one order for Mothers' day are splitting up the Memorial day orders among several houses, all of which will add to the interest taken in the situa- tion. Various Notes. Adam Taylor, for many years a florist in Englewood, died May 17 at the home of his daughter, 1132 Columbia avenue. The decedent was 80 years of age and resided in Englewood for almost fifty years. He is survived by three sons, Adam, James and John, besides his daughter, Mrs. T. F. Leyden. The retailers are making little com- plaint as to business since the end of Lent. For instance, W. J. Smyth says that his sales since Easter have been steadily ahead of those of last year. He notes that the wealthy class of trade is buying with conservatism, but he says that the working people and middle class of well-to-do customers are buying more frequently than ever before. W. J. Smart, western representative for the Knight & Struck Co., New York city, has severed his connections with that firm to join the sales force of the Foley Greenhouse Mfg. Co. John Kruchten has been confined to hia home with an attack of rheumati'im. One house 40x400 will be planted to Mrs. Russell this soason by Meyer & Dramm Co., Elmhurst. Killarney Bril- liant will be dropped to get the space. Russell has not been grown at Elmhurst heretofore. In an average season 2,000 tons of l^ocahontas coal is required to heat the 200.000 feet of glass Emil Buettner operates at Park Ridge. Last year his contract was at $1.50 per ton at the mines and the contract was fulfilled to tlie letter. Early in the spring Mr. Buettner renewed at from $'.i to $3.50 per ton. Tlie advance of from 100 to 133 per cent seemed large to him when signing the contract, but it looks quite different events. F. M. now, in the light of recent Van Gieson, sales promotion and landscape architect, sev- ered his connection with the George Wittbold Co., May 22, to assume charge of promotion work in the horticultural department of the H. M. Van Hoesen Co., direct advertising specialists, 5 South Wabash avenue. Fred Lautensculager, chairman of the Florists' Club's garden movement com- mittee, has been advised that the Gar- den Bureau of Chicago, in aid of which tlie committee was appointed, will dis- continue its work at the end of the present week. He therefore will take no further action except to ask the club to discharge the committee at the June meeting.

One of the most unusual funeral pieces seen this spring was a spray made by the E. Wienhoeber Co. The mate- rial was ranunculuses and anemones. The American Bulb Co. has rear- ranged its quarters, to employ the tripled space obtained through its re- cent new lease, and is in much better shape than heretofore for the transac- tion of its steadily increasing business. The Wholesale Cut Flower Associa- tion held its monthly dinner May 17, but no business was transacted, there not being a quorum present. There was general discussion of trade conditions of much interest and value to those who attended. Unless plans miscarry, Wendland & Keimel Co., Elmhurst, will have at least 2,000 tons of coal in storage on the place before the summer is over. It takes about 3,400 tons to run the houses through the season. The A. L. Randall Co. has evolved a novel window display item. It is a Fort Dearborn in miniature, with a flag- staff, the flag o^ which is blown by air pressure forced through the staff. The season not only is late locally, but it is considerably behind in the southern part of the state. Up to May 21, only two of the local wholesale houses had received southern peonies in greater quantity than needed for the day's trade. The two lots in storage are small. Stielow Bros. Co., Niles Center, 111., are building a large manure tank for their rose range. F. H. Haeger, of the A. L.

The Market. The market has been well supplied since Mothers' day with a choice lot of roses, carnations, bulbous stock, etc. All growers have been making large cuts as the warmer weather has brought stock along. Mothers' day business was large and left the market and retail stores desti- tute of flowers. The F. T. D. business was larger than ever before. Business has kept going nicely since Mothers' day. There has been plenty of work, together with counter trade. Memorial day promises to be equally good, with a good supply of ])lants for cemetery use and window boxes. Various Notes. John Breitmcyer's Sons had a tele- graph messenger boy at their Park store the Saturday before Mothers' day to rush orders to the telegraph office.

The circus has been the scapegoat for several seasons. It is agreed that a circus takes money out of town; witness the laws in some states that will not allow the circus to spend more than a day in a small town, be- cause it cleans that town up if allowed to stay longer, taking all the ready money with it. Somehow or other the circus seemed to make no difference this year, except possibly to the circus. It came and went without an appreciable difference to the cut flower market. Possibly the weather was too cool; maybe the attendance at the circus was not large enough. Anyway, the market has gotten through the greater part of May without serious difficulty. Business during several days of the week ending May 23 was excellent; on several other days it was not. The average was fair, decidedly above that of last year's, most of the wholesalers thought. The fashionable stores in the city have done poorly. The stores that cater to the masses have been active. The shipping demand from out of town has formed the real strength of the market. Carnations have been in much heavier supply than a week ago. They have sold well at moderate prices, without sacri- ficing. Roses have also sold fairly well at moderate prices. There has been a good demand for snapdragon — some of it is uncommonly fine — sweet peas and other flowers. Outdoor lily of the val- ley is now in bloom. Though it is not a competitor of the indoor-grown stock, it is most useful where ordinary grades of pretty flowers are desired. Gladioli Mrs. Francis King and America are a handsome addition. There is quite a lot of baby gladioli, which at times lag BERGER BROS. FOR MEMORIAL DAY PEONIES-CARNATIONS DARWIN TDLIPS These are the flowers people want. We offer fine stock in quantity.

The Easter lily is an important flower in the market, but not one that is always buoyant. Beauties, orchids and indoor valley are rather dull. There are just a few daffodils and plenty of Darwin tulips, which seem to be neg- lected. Spanish irises will be with us until after Memorial day. Speaking of Memorial day suggests peonies. It seems reasonably certain today that the local peony crop will not be in flower by May 30. The market will have to depend on the southern peony and a few local scouts. This means that carnations and other green- house flowers will form the bulk of the supply, an important fact to have be- forehand. Outdoor lilac is in full crop this week. With it came other outdoor blossoms that are highly decorative in the retail stores but highly objectionable to the hard-working salesman who has large quantities of greenhouse-grown flowers on his hands.

Business in retail circles was excellent during the week, but even the good demand had little effect on the large quantity of stock available. Sweet peas were sold as low as $1 per thousand in 10,000 lots, despite their fine quality. Of carnations the supply was large in all varieties. The heavy consignments caused prices to drop to $1 per hundred in large lots. The great quantities of roses that ar- rived during the week glutted the mar- ket, and the prices on these dropped to about one-half the former quotations. Kussell and Ophelia roses are coming in satisfactorily and bring fair prices in small lots. Peonies and cape jasmines will arrive this week and crowd the market until Memorial day. Shasta daisies and outdoor valley are arriving in large batches. Easter lilies and callas are plentiful. All greens have a good call. Various Notes.

The members of the St. Louis Associ- ation of Gardeners at a recent meeting adopted a resolution looking toward the conservation of the native flora of the city and county. The resolution points out that, on account of indiscriminate collectors, the native flowers and plants are in danger of extinction. Pic- nickers, on visiting the country for a holiday, become enthusiastic over the flowering plants, and some of them plunder the countryside of its beauty, with the idea of reproducing the ef- fect in their city gardens. These amateurs know little of gardening and in the majority of cases the loss is total. Trade and civic organizations of the city have been supplied with the resolution. GREENWICH, CONN.

AN INDOOR SUMMER CROP. What crop can be put in a greenhouse 27xGU and so grown that it will pay well this summer? S. A. W.— Mass. There is no flower crop you could start now that would give you any returns before late summer or fall. Asters, such as American Branching, would come in season in September and Oc- tober. I think a vegetable crop would pay you most, either tomatoes or cu- cumbers. The former would be easier for you to handle than the latter, unless you have handled cucumbers before. The sooner tomatoes can be planted the better. Train the plants to a single stem. Plant them in solid beds if you have such beds and place the plants an average of eighteen inches apart each way. Kemember that tomatoes require a dry atmosphere and must not be sprayed overhead. Cucumbers require a warm and moist atmosphere. C. W.

Monday evening, May 14, the Gar- deners' and Florists' Club held one of the best attended meetings it has held in a long time. At a previous meeting I. H. Moss and James Hamilton had been appointed a committee to inquire into the coal situation and to report at last week's session. As every mem- ber had been notified, and as all were interested, the attendance was large. One of the things the committee did was to have the secretary write to W. F. Gude, the Washington representa- tive of the S. A. F., to see if the nation- al body could promise anything, or if the government could hold out some hopes. The following is an exact copy of Mr. Gude's reply: ReplyinR to your favor of May 4th with refer- ence to the coal situation, I can only say that you have a hard nut to crack. We figure that our coal for next year will cost us from $12,000 to $15,000 more tlian it did this year, for our firm alone. While that is a big item, it does not worry us so much as the fact tliat we may not he able to get coal at any price. From the best information we can gather here at Wasliington, the thing to do is to get all tliat you can and pile it up on your own place, tlie sooner tlie bet- ter, because it would seem that the situation for tlie coming winter will he much more serious tlian it was last year. Sorry tliat I cannot write you more hopefull.v, but I see no relief in sight. It does not look as though the gov- ornmont would take any hand in the matter. Mr. Moss paid a visit to the Consol- idated Coal Co., the largest company in Maryland, which operates mines in the western part of the state and in West Virginia. The object of his visit was to make a proposition and to get the company's rates on say — 100 carloads. Tlie idea was that the tradesmen should club together and buy all their coal in one order. This company's reply to him was that it had more orders on its books now than it could handle, and that it did not want any new cus- tomers at this time. Most of the com- CLEVELAII *•• TBE. J. N.

The Reading Coal Co. was visited, with the same results. How About Wood As Fuel? Mr. Hamilton has studied the ques- tion deeply and his argument is that, while there may be a greater demand for coal this year than ever before, he does not think it is such as to war- rant the advance in prices every com- pany is making. Everyone present had seen someone, in most cases the people they have been in the habit of dealing with, and in every case prices were re- ported doubled. It is my opinion that this situation is an honest one; that the cause for it is the largely increased demand and the scarcity of labor. Then there is the greater manufacturing activity, a direct result of the war; the naval bases now have to be well stocked and care must be taken of the export trade; in fact, it seems as if the companies do not get a chance to get any coal on hand. As Mr. Gude says, the out- look for next winter is far from reas- suring. This naturally led to the ques- tion, "If the worst comes to the worst, what are the florists to do?" There were some present who, during a severe win- tor, with a coal strike on hand, had been without coal. They came through Worcester, Nass.

F. all right, by using wood, and this part of the question was thoroughly debated. Some of the boys have plenty of wood on their own places, and as near as I could get at it, one cord of wood would give about the same results as one ton of coal; that is, under normal climatic conditions. One grower said that in zero weather it would take two cords to one ton of coal, and the opinion was that any boiler could be fired with wood, by simply placing a layer of clinkers over the grates. Of course, it is going to take more labor, I think, from the way things look now, that if I had plenty of timber on my place, I would be beginning to get it cut. Prices Must Go Up, This brought up another question, "With this increased cost of produc- tion, can we afford to stay in the busi- ness and sell our flowers at the prices we have been?" To this question I would answer no. With labor scarce and high, coal at prohibitive prices, and living expenses doubled, no flo- rist can afford to stay in the business and sell stock at the old prices. Is there any other line of business on the face of the earth, in which expenses have increased as in the florists' busi- ness, tliat would not ad.iust prices ac- cordingly? If it costs 10 cents to pro- duce a geranium in a 4-inch pot, are we going to sell it at the old price of 10 cents, or are we going to add a fair profit?

EFFECTS OF FEETILIZEES. On Different Soils and Crops. Tills article consists of extracts from a paper prepared by H. J. Wheeler, of Boston, and tea* before the Massachusetts Horticultural Society. The types of bacteria, fungi, proto- zoa and other beneficial or injurious organisms in soils are affected by the amounts and relations of mineral and dead organic matter present and even by the chemical relation. Organic matter is highly essential in giving to the soil proper tilth, in improving its physical aeration, its water-holding capacity, and its power to absorb and hold plant food. Soil is no longer looked upon as a lifeless mass, but as teeming with low forms of plant and animal life. it is impossible to follow all the lines of agricultural investigation. One of the most important was the establishment of the fact that legumes and certain other plants assimilate nitrogen directly from the air. This was shown by Hellriegel and his asso- ciates in Germany to be due to the intervention of micro-organisms whic^i grow on the roots of the plants and KANSAS CITY, ...MISSOURI... WILLIAM L.

Among these is the idea that the chief function of fertilizers is to improve the physical condition of soils; also, that fertilizers are not needed as plant food, on the supposi- tion that the minerals represented in the soil are present in sufficient quan- tity to be dissolved and to replenish the soil solution rapidly enough to meet the plant requirements. It has also been claimed that poisonous sub- stances develop in the soil as the re- sult of the decomposition of decaying vegetable matter, and also in the shape of excreta from the roots of plants. The idea that fertilizers are useful chiefly for improving the physical con- dition of the soil has since been aban- Members of Florists* Telegraph Delivery Ass'n Send all HARYLAND orders to SAMUEL FEAST S SONS S.

It was also shown in a recent article by former Director Hall of the Agricultural Experimental Station of Bothamsted, England, that at least wheat and barley plants, after grow- ing in the soil for sixty years con- tinuously, have not thrown off toxic excreta capable of accumulating in the soil. It is stated by Mr. Hall, as a result of these and further experi- ments by him, that fertilizers have been returned to their old category as plant foods and that the theories ad- vanced by the Bureau of Soils in Washington concerning them are falla- cious. Mineral Food Stored in Soil. Mr. Hall has also shown that where mineral fertilizers are added to the soil in excess of the immediate needs of the plants, they are stored in such forms as to be subsequently highly available. It was even found by Mr. Hall that barley throve better in ex- tracts of soil in which barley had been grown for sixty years than in artifi- cial solutions containing the same quantities of mineral ingredients. This be attributed to the possible benefit of small amounts of soluble organic ma- terials, which had accumulated in the soil. In the experiments which I con- ducted in Bhode Island, where about fifteen different kinds of plants were each grown on a separate area for two successive years, with like fertiliza- tion, it was found that when onions followed the third year on all of the areas, the yields ranged from twelve to 412 bushels per acre, according to the crop which had preceded. The continua- tion of this work by Director Hartwell has shown that buckwheat was able to thrive better where onions had failed than elsewhere. These results show that in the plan for treatment anc" fertilization, one must take cognizance of the previous manuring, fertilization and cropping of the land as well as the kind of crops which are to follow. Poisons Developed in Soil. The fact that certain poisonous sub- stances develop in soils was long ago recognized in Holland by Mulder, and in other places in Europe by other investigators. It was even found more than twenty years ago in connection with the experiments in Rhode Island that ammonium sulphate, which had proved at Rothamsted, England, to be a good fertilizer, was immediately poisonous on the highly acid Rhode island soil. After liming, however, it became highly effective. Even nitrate of soda, highly es- teemed as a fertilizer, may seriously injure the physical condition of cer- tain soils and such injury is capable of being corrected upon the applica- tion of sulphate of ammonia. Such facts, as well as the possible loss of nitrates by drainage, illustrate certain advantages of ready-mixed, commercial fertilizers in which the nitrogenous in- SEATTLE, WASH.

Sometimes Poison, Sometimes Food. Certain of the so-called plant poi- sons, which develop in soils, appear to be both food and medicine for certain other groups of plants. An instance of this is afforded by the fact that under conditions where onion plants will die, cranberry plants thrive better than if the soil is corrected so as to meet the needs of the onions. Simi- larly, mignonette cannot be grown on soils which are nevertheless ideally adapted to Silene orientalis, asters, and many others of the flowering plants. Recent investigations at the Indiana station show that in some cases where the tilth of the soil has been improved by the introduction of vegetable mat- ter, and where there is an abundant supply of ordinary plant food, crops failed to thrive because of the pres- ence of aluminum nitrate. It was shown, however, that upon the addi- tion of lime, the alumina is precipi- tated, the nitric acid combines with lime, and the plants then thrive splendidly. Soil Disinfectants. Interest has been awakened in the subject of the treatment of soils by the fact that carbon bisulphide, toluene and various other soil dis- infectants have been found to be highly beneficial.

New Ways of Obtaining Nitrogen. Kecent utilization of great water- falls for the generation of powerful electrical currents has made it possible to combine the gaseous nitrogen of the atmosphere in such a way that calcium cyanide, calcium nitrate, am- monium sulphate and ammonium ni- trate are now coming onto the market as plant foods. The nitrogen of the air surrounding the earth, which could formerly be utilized through the aid of leguminous plants, may now, there- fore, b3 made our priceless possession for the nutrition and maintenance of the human race. Experiments by Loew show that it is sometimes of great importance to add lime to soils for the purpose of counteracting the effects of an unusual amount of magnesia. There may also be cases where the addition of mag- uesia to a soil may be beneficial on account of the lime being in excess. The requirements in these particulars vary with different plants. Marion, 111. — Mrs. M. L. Copeland, proprietress of the Marion Greenhouses, was married recently to John Ilodaly, of Sycamore. Mr. Hodaly came to this country from Hungary seven years ago to study agricultural methods of the west. He liked the conditions so well that he decided to remain, and after taking a course in floriculture in an eastern university he became florist for the Great Falls Floral Co., at Great Falls, Mont.

Kendel, OleTeland. O. Thirty-fifth annual conTentlon, Detroit, Jane 18 to 21, 1917. It seems this year as though seeds will seU all summer. Reports from France indicate that this year there will be at least as large a percentage as last year of 12-centimeter bulbs in the Paper Whites. Imported seeds of all kinds are pretty nearly cleaned up. Eeports of prospects of some vessels coming from Europe, if true, afford a hope, however, of getting more stock. As a measure of the importance of the American trade to the Holland exporters, it is stated that one of the principal houses has in hand for fall shipment or- ders aggregating $240,000, and that this does not include any spring orders not shipped. Reports coming in from the radish growing section of northern Michigan show that the cold, backward spring has already reduced the acreage of radishes, and damaged crop prospects to some ex- tent. It looks as though radish seed would be easily worth 50 cents to $1 per pound next fall. The seed situation, as it is today, was well summed up by a seedsman who, last week, drove up to the offices of the Leon- ard Seed Co., Chicago, to place an order for some seeds. Upon being told that the price on a certain item had advanced $1 per pound, he merely laughed compla- cently. "It isn't a question of price," he said, "they come these days asking not how much, but 'Please, Mister, can we get the seed?' " The directors of the Wholesale Seeds- men's League met at the Hardware Club, New York, May 22. It was stated that only routine business was trans- acted, with no report for non-members, which is taken to indicate that the prin- cipal theme was the values of seeds of the 1917 and 1918 crops. President F. W. Bruggcrhof, Nestor of the seed trade, who is in his eighty-seventh year, occupied the chair at dinner, there being fifteen seedsmen present. A SCARCITY is developing in turnip seed and, as the larger percentage used in this country has in the past been im- ported from Europe, it looks as if turnip seeds for planting this June and July would be a scarce item. Prices have ad- vanced considerably and seed is now selliiijj- ill a jobbing way at 60 to 75 cents per j)Ound for Strap Leaf, Flat Dutch and ordinary sorts. Globe varieties and tlio rutabagas are jobbing at 75 cents to $1 jier j)ound, with prospects of still high- er ]>ric('s. Milan sorts are bringing $1.25 to $l..")n per pound.

SUPPLYING THE SEED DEMAND. Americans, young, old and of all the ages between, are calling for seeds. The seed producers and distributors are answering that call, thus "doing their bit" toward a maximum produc- tion of foodstuffs. The accompanying illustration shows the small army of workers who are helping H. W. Buck- bee, of Rockford, 111., supply a portion of the country's extraordinary demand for seeds this spring. The photograph was taken Saturday afternoon. May 12, at Mr. Buckbee's warehouse at Rockford.

Mr. Buckbec was so busy seeing that none of his employees escaped the camera that he barely got into the picture. So that tlie observer may not fail to find him, his photograph has been brought out by a circle. Besides being a large distributor of seeds, Mr. Buckbee combines all branches of the trade in his business. His greenhouse range comprises more than 200,000 feet, and he maintains a retail store in Rockford. He has been a member of the American Seed Trade Association, is a charter mem- ber of the S. A.

For several years the United States Department of Agriculture has per- mitted persons interested to spend the months of July and August at the seed laboratory in Washington, D. C, to be- come familiar with the technique and practice of seed testing. It is expected that more persons than usual may wish to avail themselves of this privilege this year through seeds- men voluntarily furnishing, with the field crop seeds they sell, information concerning quality, including the name of tlie seeds, the per cent of pure live seed and, in the case of certain imported seeds, tlie country of origin. It is, there- fore, desired to know definitely not later than June 15 how many and who may be expected. There will be no charge in connec- tion with this work, but each person wlio comes will be required to supply liimself on arrival with certain equip- ment, including hand lenses, forceps, etc., at a total cost not exceeding $15.

The American consul at Amoy, China, reports that the narcissus bulb crop for this season is estimated at 3,000,000 pieces, of which about 1,000,000 will be of the quality and size usually ex- ported to foreign markets. Exporters report that the prices de- manded so far by the Chinese dealers have been high, on account of abnormal freight rates and the adverse exchange rate.

The committee is co- operating with state, local and commer- cial agencies in an effort to secure better distribution of seed, and to en- courage plantings of all important crops. Information regarding shortages and surplus stocks should be addressed to E. A. Oakley, chairman, committee on seed stocks, United States Department of Agriculture, Washington, D. C. SEEDSMEN CAT.T.F.D TO CAPITAI.. ' ' Any danger -which may have ex- isted of a seed famine in the face of a world emergency has been largely minimized, if not wholly dispelled," said J. C. McCullough, of the J. C. McCullough Seed Co., Cincinnati, when interviewed after the recent conference of seedsmen with the National Council of Defense at Washington. Mr. Mc- Cullough was summoned to Washington on a two hours' notice and found there the biggest seed producers of the nation. "What the manufacturers of America are planning to do to outfit the govern- ment for a world war of the largest possible proportions the seedsmen are going to do for the farmers, so that food supplies without stint will be available," said Mr. McCullough. "This is a big problem, because America is going to go in for agricul- ture upon a scale scarcely even thought of, let alone seriously contemplated. Every state in the country is planning to double, and probably to treble or quadruple, its normal output of food supplies from the soil. Every resource at the disposal of the seedsmen will be exerted to make the supply of seeds equal to the demand." MOTT-LY GLEANINGS. Some seeds grow. But add to their shame; Johnson's seeds grow And add to their fame. "I had no idea," observed F. G. Johnson, of Johnson's Seed Store, Cleveland, ' ' when I wrote this catchy limerick that it would create such in- terest. It goes to show that an ad out of the ordinary always catches the eye. So many adaptations can be made from it." Three times the usual amount of business is recorded by this concern and two stories will be added to the building this summer, with stor- age to care for the heavy crop of pota- toes expected. "Strange as it seems," said Mr. Johnson, ' * farmers in Michigan prefer to contract this season to grow potatoes for 50 cents per bushel rather than beans and peas. One reason is the scarcity of labor and another that they expect ordinary potatoes to bring $2 per bushel at time of harvest. We are starting with 200 bushels that cost us $3.75 per bushel, and could find use for 1,000 bushels if clean, true stock could be guaranteed." Ward & Co., also of Cleveland, are experiencing an extraordinary seed business. An exception is noted in a smaller call for flowering seed, bulbs and tubers, but shrubbery, perennials and the like are selling finely. "The biggest ocason on record before we wind up," is the prediction of Manager Eoth- erham. W. M. The two insertions sold everything I had. — H. M.

Stock was scarce for the day, espe- cially carnations. Some reliance had been placed on outdoor narcissi, but these came in a little too ripe and many were lost. Koses were good and in fairly good supply. Everything sold at good prices, carnations averaging $1.50 per dozen. Since Mothers' day there has been but little opportunity to accumulate stock; funeral work has kept the coolers rather bare. Carnations, particularly, are in demand, but the supply is limited.

Growers of carnations made every effort to have a heavy cut of blooms ready, and there was a larger supply than ever before seen at Mothers' day, but there nevertheless were only about half enough blooms to meet the demand. All the roses and other miscellaneous cut flowers were taken, but even at that many buyers were disappointed because they could not get a flower to wear. Carnations, all colors, retailed at $1 per dozen at the downtown stores, and the local dailies made some unkind re- marks about flowers jumping up to war prices. No mention was made of the fact that the entire cut would have been sold at $1.50 if the dealers had asked for it. Special effort had to be made to get the stock ready; the cost is greater than for ordinary daily cuts, and the growers are entitled to a higher price.

"THE HOMK OF ASTXRS" HERBERT & FLEISHAUER McMINNVILLK, ORKGON Albert Zimmerman was elected a member of the society, taking the place of his brother, George, who has left Portland. The committee on nomina- tions presented the following nominees: For president, E. J. Steele and James Forbes; vice-president, Guy Pilkington. and H. E. Weed; secretary, H. Niklas and E. H. White; treasurer, E. E. Gehr and F. A. "Van Kirk. These, together with six nominees for trustees, will be voted on at the June meeting. Eobert Newcomb, of Chicago, repre- senting the American Bulb Co., at- tended the meeting, and when called on stated that he had no special mes- sage to deliver from Chicago, but that he brought good tidings about business conditions he had found on his way to the Pacific coast. He gave an interest- ing talk on the new varieties of roses and carnations which would be put on the market this year and later. The question for the evening, which related to the effects of department store sales of plants and nursery stock, was participated in by all; and it seemed that the majority of the speakers could not note any ill effects from such sales, except the discouragement resulting from the purchase of unsatisfactory stock. The idea was expressed that the great majority of the buyers of plants at the 10 and 15-cent counters were not of a class who would visit a florist, except to order a small funeral token; and the sales at the department stores helped to move surplus stock. A lunch and social chats and cards filled out the evening. Various Notes. H. J. Millatt, of the store force of Clarke Bros., is in the hospital, where he was operated on for appendicitis. He is reported to be recovering rapidly. William E. Wood, of the Scott-Wood Co., says the delayed season has so blocked the range of his company with bedding stock that he hardly knows which way to turn. He is not the only one to suffer for want of room. Gene Robinson is cutting some of the best sweet peas seen this season. The stems of many of the flowers are twenty- two inches in length. The question of help at the green- houses is growing more serious. Good, husky helpers can earn up to 40 cents per hour at the steel shipyards, and some of the men have gone into the country to work on farms, thinking they can thus avoid being taken into the army. It seems as though they would be as safe at the greenhouses. Thomas Bodley has his range filled with Bonny Best tomatoes, which will be yielding returns by June 1, The dark weather has necessitated hand fertiliza- tion to a large extent. S. W. W. WANTS WINTER ASTERS. Please tell me wliat asters to plant for winter flowering. Should they be grown in pots or in the bench in which thev arc to flower? C. E. S.— Wash. None of the asters arc suitable for winter flowering. You can, however, profitably grow them as a late summer or early fall crop, under glass. They should be planted in beds or benches in the same way as chrysanthemums, and should be given similar soil and cul- ture. Viftk's Branching and American Branching are suitable varieties to grow It Pays To Pacific Coast Florists : What stock have you for sale to the trade? Is it moving as it should? No? Then tell the trade about it by nsing the Pacific Coast Pages of The Review. Pacific Coast advertisers al- most invariably report good results. Like this: Say!

Through the efforts of Lloyd C. Stark, vice-presi- dent of the American Association of Nurserymen, this question has been an- swered for the nurserymen of this coun- try by the nurserymen of Canada. The Canadians had passed through two seasons since the war began, and were well into the third when they answered Mr. Stark's inquiry. They know what the effect has been on their sales, and practically all agree that business is better now than before the New England-grown Nursery Stock ABINGTON QUALITY Submit your wants for estimate.

On the other liaud, they say that farmers never were more jirosperous than now, and that they are putting some of their surplus money into fruit trees, and are planting much ornamental stock. Mr, Stark asked the nurserymen in his letter to make a forecast, based on tlieir experience, of what the war would do to the business in the United States. It is their opinion that the United States will enjoy all the favor- able conditions which the war has brouglit about, and suffer little from the adverse — the scarcity of labor. The following excerpts from the let- ters will interest the trade: The war affected us most adversely during 1914. By 1915 conditions had be- come more stable and that year proved the best year in the history of our coun- try. During the following year, or 1916, we increased our business more than for- ty per cent and the sales this spring are considerably above those of last year. It is difficult for me to analyze our sales definitely and state the effect the war has had on them, but it is certain that the large returns received by the farmers for the products of their farms have placed them in a far better posi- flFor Spring 1917 we offer a com- plete list of Shade Trees, Shrubs and Evergreens.

I DID not know when I decided to place my new Rose Tau- sendschon sport, which was awarded a Silver Medal by the American Rose Society at Philadelphia, March, 1916, that the rose was wanted as a finished nurseryman's stock, and conse- quently was not prepared for the demand for same. We are completely booked up and refusing orders for 2-year-old field- grown plants, which were limited to 8000; and the 1-year-old (field -grown) will be an unknown Quantity for fall delivery; our 2'4-inch stock had been limited to 20,000. and have only 11,000 more to dispose of, and are now ready for delivery imme- diately.

War has made no difference in our business and, from all appearances, people will keep on buying fruit trees, fruit bushes and flowers, too, as usual. E. Gi-anger & Co., Toronto, Ont. During the last three years the United States has profited enormously by the war. No country ever entered a conflict better prepared financially. From the experience of the Canadians, the conclusion may be drawn that there is no cause to expect anything but con- tinued prosperity in the business. NEWPORT, R. I. John C. Hass says the rumor that he had given up the wholesale flower busi- ness here and taken a position in New Bedford is not founded on fact. Bowen B. Sweet, after many years of service, has resigned as superintend- ent of the city cemetery. Alexander MacLellan has a lot of extra fine California privet in all sizes for hedging. W. H. M. Allentown, Pa. — The new store of Ernest Ashley is far superior to the one which was reduced to ashes. To add to this loss, the insurance company expired at the same time. Mrs. Ash- ley has charge of the store and speaks highly of Mothers' day sales. The call was chiefly for white and pink carna- tions, of which, fortunately, they had an abundance. A handsome office has been built at the greenhouses, where Mr. Ashley presides, and Mr. Ashley has quite a nursery attached. *•*••*•***•*•*••*•••***•*•* * * * * * * * • * ROSES-Buy Now CANNAS LEMONS VIOLETS CHRYSANTHEMUMS For full details, see Classified columns The Conard & Jones Company • * * • * • * • • .JL, West Grove, Pa. .jl. • •**••*••***•*•*••***•••••• Mention The Review when you write.

S I JOSEPH HEACOCK CO., Wyncote, Pa. | ^iiiiiiiiiiiiiiuiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiim^ NEWARK, N. J. The Market. Warm weather last week increased the cut flower receipts and prices on nearly everything manifested a tend- ency to recede. The quotations on roses reached a lower level, and carnation prices followed suit out of sympathy, but not to the same extent. The higher temperatures were accompanied by an increased sale of seeds and bedding plants, particularly geraniums, of which the prices averaged about 15 cents per plant. Everybody seems to be optimistic as to the Memorial day business and the growers report a good supply of stock in line for the holiday. Various Notes. With the idea of capitalizing the patriotic spirit, a number of florists are featuring small bouquets made of one red carnation, one white carnation, a blue iris and smilax. The results have been good. A flag 6x9 feet for the funeral of a soldier boy was made last week by Henry Strobell. The "stripes" were made of red and white carnations; the "field" was made of blue cornflowers and the "stars" were represented by forty-eight gardenias. E. B. M. Aurora, Neb. — F. A.

After a wonderfully successful Moth- ers' day, the Toronto Eetail Florists' Association has decided to get in touch with the secretaries of the various lodges and other organizations in On- tario and endeavor to inaugurate a Dec- oration day May 24. This day is usually regarded as a holiday through- out the Dominion and there is little doubt that, if the florists put their shoul- ders to the wheel, the idea will prove a good one, especially as the stock is arriving in fairly good shape, now that pleasant, spring weather is with us. The same weather is responsible for satisfactory progress in most of the greenhouses, and, despite the severe drawback in the shape of a limited labor supply, the work is much farther ad- vanced than is usually the case at this time of the year. Richard Jennings is about again after a serious illness of six months. He is growing some fine sweet peas this sea- son. Mr. Jennings says that the day prior to Mothers' day was the biggest in the history of his business. Mark Henderson's place is in good shape and is at present planted to toma- toes and a variety of bedding stock. The Dale Estate has also set apart a fair area for tomatoes and is just now producing a crop of beans. W. G. 1'. Lincoln, 111. — Adolph Nielsen, super- intendent of the Gullett & Sons cut flower greenhouses, has the sympathy of his many friends in the trade in the loss of his father. Mr. Nielsen was a florist in Christiania, Norway, many years ago and is hence entitled to the appellation of old timer.

We contemplate heating our resi- dence next winter with hot water, sup- plied by the same boiler that heats our greenhouses. Please describe the best method of figuring the amount of radiation required to heat a dwell- ing house. W. H. — Ind. Before attempting to give definite suggestions for the lieating of a resi- dence, one should know the usual mini- mum outside temperatures; the nature of the construction of the dwelling, whether frame, brick or other materials; the amount of exposure, the square feet of glass, the exposed wall surface and the cubic contents of each room, as well as the temperature desired in each room. For a well built frame dwelling, with average exposure, we would suggest the following formula for a temperature of 70 degrees, which would be about an average for the living rooms, the bathroom, and perhaps for one sleep- iiig room which may be used in case of sickness, in sections where the tem- perature in the coldest weather runs from zero to 10 or 15 degrees below: PIPE, TUBES and FITTINGS NEW AND SECOND HAND All Sizes, Cut to Sketch.

With hot water radiation, use an amount equal to tlie square feet of ex- posed glass, plus one-tenth the area of exposed wall surface, plus one per cent of the cubic contents of each room. For a temperature of 60 degrees, which will answer for the average sleeping room, compute the radiation in the same way and then reduce the amount one-third. Having determined the amount re- quired under average conditions as above, if the dwelling is a poorly built frame structure, the radiation should be increased ten to twenty-five per cent, while for a substantially built brick Sixteen Years' Paint Service Mr. Chas.

Thus, in a living room 12x14 and nine feet high, with one end and side exposed — that is, they are outside walls — and with two win- dows, each 3x6 feet, there will be thirty-six square feet of glass, the ex- posed wall surface will amount to 234 square feet, and the cubic contents of the room is 1,512 feet. Then we shall need for radiation thirty-six square feet, the area of glass; plus twenty- three feet, which is one-tenth of the exposed wall; plus fifteen feet, which MORCHEAD SYSTEM FEEDING BOILERS 320' The Above Temperature Record of condensation re- turns from a steam pump system was taken under exact- ly the same con- ditions for both pump and More- head System. Between 2 and 2:30 p. m. the steam pump was cut into the line in place of the Morehead Sys- tem. Oh No! —we don't want you to think that the above tem- perature chart represents greenhouse conditions —because this chart was taken on a high pressure line | —but it brings out graphically the great advantages of the ^i:>g^ttoBoiler > SYSTEM over a steam pump for steam line drainage and boiler feeding. Substituted for pumps, the Morehead System will keep all steam pipes clear of condensation and return it to the boiler as pure, hot feed water quicker and on 90% less steam than a steam pump will do it. The installation expense is small— the results great. It matters not whether your institution is large or small, the Morehead System will save sufficient to pay for itself in a a few months' time. Letters in our files prove this. Let us tell you about it. Morehead Manufacturing Co. Dept.

For sleeping rooms of the same size, about fifty feet of radi- ation will answer in a well built frame house. In a poorly built house, the radiation might range from eighty to ninety feet for 70 degrees, and from fifty-five to sixty-four feet for 60 de- grees. Even these figures should bo slightly increased if the location is much exposed, or if the outside temper- ature drops to 20 degrees below zero or lower for a number of days each win- ter. When the low temperatures last but a few days, a little heavier firing will keep up the heat. In determining the size of the main flow and return pipes — which, by the way, should be of the same size — if the radiation is less than 250 square feet, 2-inch pipe may be used; for 250 to 400 feet we would advise the use of 2M>-inch; from 400 to 700, 3-inch is suggested, and 4-inch will answer for 700 to 1,400 square feet of radi- ation. The amount of radiation in the surface of the mains should also be taken into account, unless they are well insulated, and even then some account should be made of it, if they are extra long. The foregoing estimate is for use in cases where the radiators are at least two feet above the top of the boiler. Unless a radiator is quite small and only a sliort distance from the main, we would not use less than li4-inch pipes for the feed and return pipes. For radiators up to sixty square feet we would use li4-inch pipes for the supply and return pipes, and above that lVL>-inch up to 150 square feet of radia- tion. For radiators on the second floor, as well as tliose on the first floor that are quite near the main, or where they are five or six feet above the top of the boiler, the amount that may be supplied witli IVi-inch and l^/^-inch pipes may be increased twenty-five per cent.

Most of the cut flower dealers are bragging about Mothers' day business, which was better than last year. Some of the retailers made a feature of plants, * ' the kind mother likes. ' ' We are now enjoying real summer weather, but there has been no over- supply in any kind of stock. In fact, carnations are still short of the demand and are bringing $4 per hundred. Roses are more plentiful, but lilies still are on the short side. Various Notes. The plantsmen now all are busy, as it is customary to have the cemeteries planted before Memorial day. The cold weather held the work back, so all are rushed. Randolph & McClements report that the week preceding Mothers' day was busier than at Christmas. Several wed- dings and other social affairs, together with the Mothers' day trade, kept them working night and day. They also say there is a big demand for porch boxes. The A. W. Smith Co. says its land- scape department is far behind iu its orders. There is more business in this line this spring than ever before. Mrs. E. A. Williams has been excep- tionally busy. Besides social functions, there has been much funeral work. Mrs. Karl Koenig has started work on a range of greenhouses on her new place on Thompson Run road. She will put up four 200-foot houses and a service or pottery house this summer. She expects to move her stock into the new houses this fall. Next year she contemplates increasing her establishment. John Koenig has purchased an auto truck for the delivery of plants. Fred Burki attended the auto races at Uniontown last week. T. P. Langhaus has moved into his new home, the lawn of which runs to Riverview park, giving him a city park for a back yard. It seems certain that blooming plants will be scarce for Memorial day. Calls for this class of stock this spring have been heavier than usual. Clarke.

Last week showed one of the quick changes that the flower market is sub- ject to. Of course, at the beginning of the week there was a marked scarcity of stock on account of the big demand for Mothers' day, which drained every source of supply for that time. Prices remained steady until about Wednes- day, when the effects of the warm weather became manifest. The supply showed a material increase, while the demand dropped back to normal or be- low. Stock began to accumulate, and while the business was fairly good, the demand was not sufficiently large to take up the increased supply. There was a material drop in price toward the end of the week and bargains were again obtainable. The cut of carnations was good and the quality was fine for this time of the year. Eoses sold well and their quality was excellent. There was an overabundance of sweet peas, and, while prices were ridiculous- ly low, the market could not be kept cleared of them. Only the fancy stock moved well. Bulbous stock was in heavy supply and prices showed a marked decline under those of the previous week. Advance orders are al- ready coming in quite heavily for Memorial day. Of course red and white carnations are in greatest demand, but all colors come in for a good call. Sweet peas and roses are also being ordered quite heavily in advance and peonies are coming in for a good share of the orders placed for this occasion. From present indications. Memorial day should surpass all previous marks in volume of business done. As stock apparently will be about right for that time, an enormous quantity of stock should be moved. Local peonies will probably not be in for that time and it looks as tliough there will be a shortage of this stock. Spring plants are having an exceptionally good sale; large blocks of stock are being moved daily. Various Notes. The big event of the week was the Shriners' ball, which was held at the Auditorium May 19. The big hall was decorated with smilax and American flags. The various committeemen, of whom tluMo were quite a iniinbcr, were in full dross, and each wore a red car- nation. The affair was informal and this retarded tlie disjday of corsages to some extent. The A. F. Kellner Co. liad charge of tlic decorations. H. J. S.

Business has been excellent during the last week, wedding, social and funeral work having been heavy. Bed- ding plant sales are ahead of last year and all think that they will be sold out by Memorial day, in 'face of the fact that there has been but one week warm enough for planting out. Roses have been in oversupply, and in consequence prices have dropped to low levels. Fair roses can be bought as low as $1.50 per hundred. While the prices of the best stock hold up well, the quality is not so good. Carnations, sweet peas, lilies and other cut stock are plentiful. Some peonies are arriv- ing in the market. They are of good quality. Outdoor perennial stock also can now be obtained. Various Notes. Eric Frandsen is building three new houses, 38x300, on his range east of Independence, Mo. He will grow roses exclusively. James Masson had the decorations for the conventions of the Kansas Bankers' Association and the Osteo- paths at the Baltimore hotel. Samuel Murray had a busy week with wedding and funeral work. W. J. Barnes planted Fairmount park last week, using more than 2,500 plants in the beds, as well as thirty hanging baskets of ferns. His green- houses show that much spring bedding business has been done. Adolph D. Mohr has his new bunga- low about ready for occupancy. He reports business better than ever before. His houses look well, especially a fine lot of young begonias. Arthur Newell reports business is good and he expects a big Memorial day trade. Charles Thomas has had a big run of funeral and social work. James Payne has sold about all of his bedding stock. T. J. Noll & Co. are handling a fine lot of home-grown cut peonies. The W. L. Eock Flower Co. is now cutting a large quantity of roses. Car- nations are not so plentiful. Funeral work has been heavy with this company all the week. W. J. B. Positively Practical Mr. Wesley C.

It is all bolted together and fast to the rafter, ready to hoist up and drop right into place between the ridge and column. For the assembling of the frame, we have a specially designed portable trareling crane that yanks the frame up into position in a jiffy. With our method of preparing material and erecting, it is possible to put up the complete frame of one house a week, 61 feet or so wide and 500 long. Of course, no one can overcome delays caused by shortage of materials or railroad hold-ups. But we can make up fori[a lot of them by erection speed. You know we go anywhere for business.

Because of the lateness of the peony- crop, it was decided at the meeting of the Rochester Florists' Association, held May 14, to postpone the peony show scheduled for June 15 and 16 to June 22 and 23. It was feared that if the show were to be held as early as was originally intended, many plants would not be in bloom. In the conduct of the show, the as- sociation will cooperate with the Roch- ester branch of the Red Cross, and the net receii)ts will bo donated to the lat- ter organization. It is expected that besides the large number of local ex- hibits, several large out-of-town exhibits will be made. If present ])lans mature, the show will be one of the most bril- liant affairs of its kind over hold in the city. The women's auxiliary of the Flo- rists' Association will serve tea at the show. Because of the varying opinion of florists on the amendment to the penal law, to prohibit, with certain excep- tions, the sale of flowers on Sundays, it was decided at the meeting to lay the matter on the table indefinitely. If the amendment, which has boon intro- duced in tlie Assembly, becomes law, the sale of flowers will be limited to Easter and the Sundays nearest Christmas, New Year's and ^leniorial day, and on any Sunday from 9 a. m. to 5 p. m. for florists located near any cemetery in which burials have not been discon- tinued. In a talk on trade conditions Ambrose H. Seeker, secretary of the association, said that lie believed that there would undoubtedly bo a falling off in the sale of flowers during the war, and he ad- vised growers to so plan that they will be able to keep their heads above water until normal conditions are once more restored. Mr. Seeker further advised florists to engage in the production of flower and vegetable seeds.

I usually grow calendulas, centaureas, mignonette, nasturtiums and snap- dragons, but would like to know some other kinds to grow. N. T.— Mich. The following annuals, in addition to those you mention, succeed well under glass: Larkspurs, lupines, neme- sias, clarkias, Gypsophila elegans, Statice Suworowii, stocks, candytuft, Mexican poppy, or Ilunnemannia fuma- ria'folia, schizanthus, sweet peas, salpi- glossis. All of those can be used for cutting. C. W. A PUBLISHER'S DREAM. Once upon a time there was an ad- vertiser who got his copy in ahead of closing dates; he gave the publisher time for careful composition; making of cuts was never left until the "last gun," with the printer holding the presses and running up the publisher's bill. There were no disputes about typographical errors and inadvertent insertions. And this advertiser was al- ways pleased with the attention and service the publisher gave him. "Here is\bur Answcnm.

''^4^0^'^^-^^^^ ^^f^m THE ^>s WEDDING WINDOWS WIN WITH WOMEN * Impressing the feminine ynind, so that when a girl hecomcs engaged and begins to 'plan for her wedding she ivill go to a certain store for her decorations and bouquets, has been the inspiration for many striking wed- ding windows. A new and attractive wedding window display is illus- trated and described an this page. '£>^L^''' HERE is no girl about to marry and who plans to have a "real wedding," whether it be in church or at her home, but has many girl friends as excited about the coming event as is she herself. Every de- tail of dress, of the cere- mony, of the wedding breakfast, dinner or supper, and of the floral decorations and bouquets — the latter being the subjects we are particu- larly interested in — is discussed for weeks before, exclaimed about at the time and talked over afterward. The bride, undoubtedly, had attended the weddings of many of her friends. She had been impressed with the beauty of the flowers at these ceremonies and had decided that she, too, must l)e mar- ried amid equally elaborate surround- ings. And being like the average girl, she had decided not to be outdone by her friends. These human traits have made wed- ding decorations and boucpiets an im- portant part of the retail end of our business. And as the wholesaler and grower are dependent on the retailer, the connecting link with the consumer, weddings hold a con- siderable interest for the whole trade. A bride is a symbol of happiness. Her joy is contagious. That is why we all take so much interest in l)rides and weddings. We get a reflection of the hap- piness that attends the event, to the details of which we give more than a passing notice. Appeal to Women. But weddings make in especial appeal to the feminine mind. It ■ s doubtful if there is a ^irl or woman but who las, at some time in !ier life, carefully con- sidered the details of ler own wedding. She las pictured in her nind's eye her gown, he flowers she will •arry and the setting )f her marriage. The girl, of course, las the final say about he flowers for her •vedding. Consequently, when we florists go after wedding work, we must make our appeal to women, especially young women. During the last few years florists have been capitalizing this interest in weddings each spring by turning the display window into a church chancel, installing a wax model dressed in a wedding gown and surrounding it with floral decorations and the attractive ac- cessories which are used. The whole has been effective, but lacking in that ])ersonal element which is so necessary in sales-producing advertising. The wax model is pretty. So is the gown. But to the girl who halts before the window the display is only a display, without that human element which would hold her interest and make a deep impression upon her mind. Brides' Pictures Get Crowds. Suppose it had been possible to secure the young society woman, whose wed- ding the week before had been an event, to pose in that window. The news- ])apers had given much space to her wedding and to descriptions of the gowns of the bride and the bridesmaids, and to the decorations of the church. Pcnn's Novel Wedding Window Drew Crowds of Boston Women. Thousands of girls, engaged girls, un- engaged girls who would like to be engaged, and matrons, young and old, to whom the wedding had recalled thpir own, had read these accounts. But reading about and seeing are dif- ferent. The first is an abstract, the sec- ond a concrete, method of conveying a picture to the mind. Would not the appearance of that bride in the window be a wonderful advertisement? Of course turning this dream into a reality is well-nigh impossible. Some clever retailers, however, are using the next best thing. Instead of putting the society-girl brides, themselves, in the window, they are displaying photo- graphs of them in their wedding gowns. Such a display recently was made by Penn, of Boston, and proved attractive. The window is pictured in the accom- panying illustration. E. A. Seidewitz, of Baltimore, also recently had a wed- ding window in which photographs of prominent brides of that city were fea- tures which drew crowds. The decorations in the Penn window included hydrangeas, Easter lilies and azaleas. The l)ride's bouquet was of lilies of the valley and orchids. The crook of the maid of honor carried marguer- ites and asparagus and tlio bridesmaid's bas- ket matched it. Neither the maid of honor's gloves nor liat were overlooked, the hat be- ing trimmed with little Sweetheart roses and tulle. Here and there in tlie window were photographs of some of the prettiest brides of recent seasons and their bouquets. Wedding Work Pays. Photograplis come as near as anything in- animate can to produc- ing a sense of the per- sonal in a window. The onlooker, should he or she discover the pic- ture of a friend or an acquaintance, would go away with a more or less lasting impression. And it is the lasting impression that the florist wants to make. That is what brings his store to mind when flowers are needed. There is not a ques- 10 The Florists^ Review May 31, 1917. ;?ciinimjGaD[rffl]^|aciiiiimmEa|i[i"ooDCC[ir^ |aiiiiii.iiiii.i.Dal |B;r.i:i.i:ii.ii.iiii.affi] lai.iiiiiiiiiiiDp Si CUPID'S JUNE THE MONTH OF WEDDINGS Are You Prepared for Church and Home Decorations?

This sort of business is valuable, not only because there is usually a considerable suni involved in the one transaction, but because the work, if well done, adds a new customer to the retailer's list. A wedding means another family and in the years to come the bride of today will always have a warm spot in hqr heart for the florist who provided the decorations for her wedding and the wedding bouquets. That is, of course, he will stick in her memory if his work pleased her. There is a whole lot of truth in that old phrase, "A satisfied customer is our best advertisement." Can you not imagine the bride at her first "at home," telling her friends, as they go over the glories of the wedding and dis- cuss the floral decorations, that "Flora & Co." supplied the flowers and were they not beautiful? That is convincing publicity — the kind that gets custom- ers and makes them confident that your .judgment in selecting and skill in ar- ranging flowers can be relied upon. Gives Creative Genius Sway. The feature of wedding work which is the most interesting to the florist who is really an artist, is the designing of the decorations and bouquets. Here he has an opportunity to give his creative genius full sway. True, there are not many ways by which the general effect can be altered, but liere and there little in advance of their use. Thus only the best stock should be used, so that there will be no danger of the flowers looking anything but at their best. One faded bloom is more noticeable than a hun- dred jjcrfect ones. Helps Sales in Slack Time. There is another phase of the subject of spring weddings which makes it all tlie more important for the retailer to bend his efforts to educating his cus- tomers and prospective customers to come to him for work of this character. Weddings, especially June weddings, come at a time when sales of cut stock are slow and one or two of them will put the balance for the month on the right side of the ledger. Flowers are plenti- ful. Indeed, in the smaller towns the abundance of blooms leads to a tempta- tion to amateur decorating. But the florist can supply what the layman lacks — experience in handling and selecting flowers, knowledge of color combinations and the ability to work up the different blooms into a harmonious whole. Besides, he has ar- tistic baskets, pretty vases and bowls and t4ie other accessories which are nec- essary to make complete to the last de- tail the decorations for elaborate wed- dings. Thus is the handicap of a pro- fusion of flowers offset. As the scale of social functions has advanced during the last quarter of a century, hosts, and hostesses especially, have learned that the florist's services The New Background Effect in Cfiurch Wedding Decorations. touches may be added which have the charm of novelty. The accessories that have been devised to aid the florist on such occasions as weddings often add just the feature that lifts the decora- tion from the commonplace. Careful selection of stock, too, will save embarrassment many times. The modiste may have until the last minute to finish the wedding gown, but not so with the florist and his work. The dec- orations he installs, if they be at all elaborate, require time. They nml the bouquets must be prepared considerably are invaluable. More and more are they calling on him to provide the decora- tive features. He has responded and in the natural course of things has de- veloped a wonderful artistry in this direction. Where a few years ago his efforts were directed by the customer, who had planned what he or she wanted, now the customer looks to the florist for advice and suggestions and in a majority of cases accepts his ideas of what and how the decorations should bo. That this is so speaks vohnnes for the progressive- ness of the trade and the development of its members. People Have Plenty of Money. Despite the high cost of living aui^ the war, there will be just as much, ii not more, wedding work this year. Thi more prosperous class of people has beei the class which has profited most by th. great commercial and industrial pros perity of the co.untry during the las: two years. Besides, there are many wh( have suddenly acquired wealth and much of this wealth is being put inti; circulation by its* owners. People, too, have been educated to spend, which i> not difficult knowledge to acquire. They have the money and will let go of it It is up to the individual florist to pro vide value received and the work will come to him. So let us in the trade go after busi ness instead of waiting for business t( come to us. Profit by the experience of other members of the trade with window displays; adopt their ideas and at the same time keep your brains work ing and go them one better by adding an original touch. Be not backward about keeping your business in the minds of the people in your town. Then you will be so busy you will not have time to hear the jarring note of the chronic pessimist, who lit" bound, once in a while, to break in on the big chorus of optimists, made so by a record sea- son in our business. Costs are higher, but so are prices and the number of flower-buyers is increasing all the time. A TIP FROM GOTHAM. Like the fashions — and the cost of food — decorations change. People have not the ideas about house and church decorations they had a few years back. For instance, the accompanying illus- tration typifies a new treatment of the embellishments for a church wedding. It will be noticed — but here is Max Schling's description of his work: ' ' Church decorations are not as they used to be — just a bower and a lot of palms, with a heavy, set background; ribbons drawn along the aisle, a big bunch of Easter lilies on each aisle post or each pew, and a fancy tree-form shape above the aisle, just like an arbor behind our grandfather's farmhouse, "No, you will find it entirely differ- ent. The church is free and clear. Nothing obstructs our view. From the farthest corner we can see clear over the whole festive place. A delicate cur- tain of green is falling from the walls. Two large candelabra with wax lights on each side of the candelabra; roses fastened just as if climbing up;"^and, instead of the bower, two nice, high, standard trees of beautiful tea roses, just to set off the curtain of green," Mr. Schling points out that the darker the background, the more prominent the bride in her white gown. BETTER PLEASE THE BRIDE! Make the Newlyweds Remember. ' ' The purchasing power of the dollar has' so shifted and diminished that many industries will not receive their customary patronage during the war,'" says an expert. "The necessaries will have to come first, and the storekeeper who deals in luxuries is going to have a tight squeeze." Of course, the ex- pert includes flowers in his list of lux- / May 31, 1917. The Florists^ Review 13 as a background at the altar. Some retailors have been known to sacrifice ]»art of tlieir profits on wedding work in order to give their ' customers com- jilete satisfaction. The florist should have a full equipment of wedding ac- cessories, sucli as vases, gates, kneeling stools, aisle posts, wedding rope, rib- bons, baskets, etc. The retailer who is ready to execute any and all kinds of wedding work surely makes a better bid for success than one who has to "hunt" his accessories.

Witness as proof of this the Mothers' day business. One is able to explain the unusual increase in busi- ness for the day only by the belief that people are seeing the futility of ex- treme retrenchment and refusing to forego the pleasure of purchasing what might be considered by some to be lux- uries. That was Mothers' day, and now June with its brides is here. From the facts ,on hand, it is obvious that, war economy or no war economy, the June bride will have her flowers. A woman's wedding is the most important event in her life, an event that sticks in the memory, and on such an occasion those in charge usually are free-handed in their expenditure for wedding flowers. It is difficult to draw a line between the beauty and utility of wedding flow- ers; these attributes are inseparable. Make It a Good Job. The important role which flowers play in the wedding ceremony should furnish the florist with his cue, that an order for wedding work is a key to greater patronage. A wedding order is a business-bringing opportunity par excellence. It brings the florist into contact not only with the new home or family, but also with the families of the bride and bridegroom. Other wed- dings in cither of the two families, fu- nerals, anniversaries and the flower days may contribute a large share to- ward building a bigger business. If one were to multiply the possibilities for future business in each wedding order by ten, twenty, thirty or fifty such orders per year, the significance of pleasing the June bride and her rel- atives would be brought home more forcibly. Admittedly, if there is any work that is worth doing well, it is wedding work. Wedding flowers are subject to almost as critical a survey as the bride's gown, so it behooves the florist — if he be the kind that plans for the future — to str^^e hard to please the bride and bridegroom. Whether church or home decoration, whether the bride's or the bridesmaid's bouquet, everything must be worked out carefully, with brain as well as with hand. Wedding anniversaries come each year to remind people of their wedding day, and among the remembrances may be that of a florist 's good work. The Illustrations. Of course, good stock is essential to good work of any kind, but it is par- ticularly necessary when it is held in the hands of a bride or when it serves Eemove all the seeds from your azaleas and rliododendrons and put the plants outdoors where you can readily reach them with the hose in warm, dry weather. A coldframe is a suitable place for the azaleas. Set the plants in a mixture of loam, leaf-mold, sand and a little old manure. Plant them firmly and keep them well syringed and watered. There is no reason why the azaleas should not be bristling with buds next fall, and, unless all signs fail, azalea importations the coming season will be nil. Tiie rhododendrons will only set buds moderately, especial- ly that fine variety. Pink Pearl, and may require to be carried a second sea- son.

We have reached the season when insect pests once more "will give us considerable trouble. Tlianks to the cool season, their ravages up to date have been comparatively negligible. But a burst of heat would send them forth in incredible numbers and we must have our spraying outfit in con- dition and have the necessary poisons and insecticides on hand when needed. For leaf-eating caterpillars, such as cankerworms, gypsy moths, brown-tail moths, elm beetles, etc., arsenate of lead at the rate of four pounds to fifty gallons of water is the best remedy. If dry arsenate of lead is used, only half the weight need be employed and I have found it fully as efficacious. For black and green aphis, a nicotine or soap spray answers well. "White fly can be killed by a contact spray, but the trouble is that it is too restless. The lace-wing fly on rhododendrons can be destroyed by a soap spray, but it is nec- essary to use a nozzle ejecting a fine, misty spray and sending it upward, as the pests are all found on the lower sides of the foliage. Two or three sprayings are necessary to keep them in subjection. Hellebore dusted on the bushes while the foliage is damp will get the rose slug and currant worm. For cutworms a poisoned mash of fresh shorts, molasses and water with suffi- cient Paris green to color it, scattered about the haunts in the evening, will destroy large numbers. The Eock Garden. A feature in American horticulture, which is rapidly becoming a dominant one, is rock gardening. A year or two ago any idea of successful rock garden- ing here was pooh-poohed, but it has been conclusively shown that, in spite of our hot summers and severe winters, we can grow hundreds of varieties of rock and alpine plants. Many people have land which is not adaptable for the culture of shrubs, annuals, or the stronger growing herbs. By the use of some old field stone, well weather-worn, it is not difficult to start a little rock garden on such land and, once estab- lished and planted in an informal way, the delights are sure to encourage the grower to develop a little each year. Florists should encourage and assist in developing tliis branch of gardening and in no better way can they do it than by planting a small rockery themselves. Tlie majority of rock plants need full sun. Some, like the primulas, need par- tial shade. The bulk are readily raised from seed. At present in the rock gar- den the Phlox subulata and divaricata, aubrictias, saxifragas, violas, myosotis, primulas, some campanulas, cerastiums, epimediums, geums, dwarf iris, hardy candytufts, alyssums, arabis, anemones, trilliums and many bulbous subjects make a glorious sliow and fresh va- rieties are o])ening daily. There is a vast undeveloped field here. Why not help to develop it and raise a good batch of suitable plants for the purpose? Of course, quite a few evergreens are available for rock gardening; so are occasional tall growing plants, like eremuri, yuccas, foxgloves, verbascums and lilies, but the bulk of the plants are low growing and wonderfully beautiful. Some Useful Annuals. If you have not sown all the annuals needed, the present is a good time to start a batch for late summer flower- ing of such plants as hunnemannia, Shirley and other poppies, Gypsophila elegans, larkspurs, lupines, clarkias, nemesias, candytuft, coreopsis and many others. Also start some asters and stocks in a frame and give these a transplanting before placing them in the field. Keep the cultivator going persistently among all flower crops. The deficiency in plant fertilizers can be overcome in large measure by keep- ing the surface soil constantly tickled. Left Over Spiraeas. If you have any left over Spiraea Gladstone, astilboides, Ceres, Peach Blossom, Queen Alexandra or other good spiraeas, plant them out in good soil now. Do not try to force them again next winter. If you wait until the fall of 1918 you can safely dig up and force them again, and your clumps will be vastly ahead in quality of any you can buy. As there is a probability of no Dutch bulbs or roots coming i;, next fall, we should try to grow som few subjects ourselves and anyon with good soil can succeed wit;. spiraeas. Cold Storage Lilies. Longiflorum lilies are useful whei there is a call for design work rigl through the summer. Now is a sui able time to secure and pot a batch r these cold storage bulbs. Do the po ting as soon as possible after the bulb are received. It spoils these bull quickly to let them lie around in a dr shed. They should go in 5-iilch pot and, if fairly moist loam is used, the need not be watered. Stand them on shed floor, on a cellar floor or below greenhouse bench, provided it is f re ■ from drip. They will soon start t make both roots and growths, when the can be moved to a bench in a wan, house. It does not pay to start toy many of these lilies at a time durin<; hot weather, as they come along quite rapidly. You will know how many your trade will use and pot them ac- cordingly. Many bulb dealers special ize in cold storage lilies and you should get them in small lots from these dealer? as needed. Erie, Pa. — William Honeysett says one of his best paying houses is the vinery from which he gathers an an- nual harvest of luscious Gros Colman and Sweetwater grapes. Evanston, 111. — George M. Meier is overhauling his place at 1210 South boulevard and preparing for another season. He has had excellent success with callas grown from big bulbs planted out in the benches. SEASONABLE SUGGESTIONS FOR SOUTHERN FLORISTS k:,if?^ff^vffi?^fflffT,fff^t7^l?7^l?f^ltf^li7^ GIGANTEUMS IN THE SOUTH. These lilies are an important crop in the south during the summer months. Two or three bulbs may be potted in a 6-inch pot and the pots placed under a bench until well started, when they may be brought into the light. The main thing to watch in their culture, be- sides proper watering, is to see that the aphis is thoroughly kept away. It is surprising how quickly this pest can ruin a whole batch if allowed undis- turbed possession for a few days. In- sure the crop by keeping this pest down. L. Keep the shoots pinched until the end of August or later if the crop is wanted to last until the holidays. A night tem- perature of 55 degrees suits them bettei than a lower one. The plants want support exactly like carnations. L. BOUVARDIAS IN THE SOUTH. Bouvardias do remarkably well in the south, but to do their best they should be plainted indoors. Now is a good time to plant. They seem to do equally well on either solid beds or benches. A good carnation soil will suit tlieir requirements. Space the young plants 12x14 inches. Two-year- old plants that liave been cut back will require a little more room. Keep them clear of weeds and stir the surface soil occasionally. They require quite a lot of water when growing freely. HARDY PLANTS FOR THE SOUTH. Now is a good time to sow seeds of many of the hardy plants, such as fever- fews, campanulas, hollyhocks, larkspurs, Shasta daisies, foxgloves, gypsophilas, etc. The seeds can be sown in a cold frame and handled in pots until bijj; enough to be set out in the field, where they will make fine clumps for next spring's sales. The campanulas arc probably better grown in pots entirely, especially if wanted for early spring blooms. This plant sells readily as a pot plant and the blooms of the blue variety also find favor. There seems to be an increasing demand each year for plants like these and there is really more money in them than in many of the soft spring plants. Cultivate tho plants each week in the field and you will be surprised at the result. All of these will not succeed in the more southern states, but in the northern sec- tion they do well, L.

To View the Future. Memorial day, the last of the holi- days that mean added business for the trade before the summer season, is past and during the next few months our business will have no artificial stimu- lant. Therefore it appears to be an opportune time to look back and ana- lyze the activities of the last eight or nine months, check up on the business done and the profits earned and from this analysis map out our course for the future. Retrospection invariably brings in- trospection. We look back over the things we have done and take stock of what our activities have accomplished. We see where we have won and where we have lost; we realize why we have succeeded and usually can put our fin- gers on the causes of our failures. Thus, by the process of elimination, we know what is best for us to do in the future. Repeated statement of the same fact is supposed to give it emphasis; there- fore let it here be repeated that busi- ness with florists — growers, wholesalers and retailers — never has been so good; in fact, it broke all records to smither- eens. And the cause for this effect is that never has the trade, individually and as a whole, done so much to in- crease the demand for flowers, not at any particular store or group of stores, but at all stores. During the last several years The Re- view has been preaching the cause of publicity to florists. Week after week and year after year, its columns have told of the successes made by this re- tailenand that retailer through the use of advertising space. Look back over the last, your most successful year, and consider what the trade as a whole has done in the way of publicity for flowers. Individual florists and groups of florists have spread the gospel, "Buy flowers." Flowers for Christmas, flowers for St. Valentine's day, flowers for Easter, flowers for Mothers' day and flowers for Memorial day — that has been the burden of their advertising. And the public has bought. It does not take long for the average human to realize the joy to be derived from the good things of life. Those who bought at Christmas for the first time, bought again at Easter and at Mothers' day. Next season they will have the flower buying habit, if they have not it already. What the Future Holds. It is a wise man who profits by the experience of others. What has been done to help the trade as a whole by the individual florists and the organi- zations of florists is only a starter in what can be accomplished. It has been demonstrated that advertising pays; that it means dollars to the florist to go after business instead of sitting tiglit and waiting for business to come to him. There is no need to recite what can be accomplished to the progressive members of the trade who have blazed the trail for their less imaginative fel- lows. They know what they have done and what it has meant to their busi- ness. Next year they will follow out the policy that has proven itself a win- ner, only more intensively. They will lielp in the campaigns of national pub- licity— the success of the Mothers' day campaign presages others of its kind — and will continue to advertise as indi- viduals.

Here the Detroit florists are expanding the Mothers' day idea to the Memorial day sales. Not only are they urging plants, wreaths and flowers for the cemetery, but are bidding for sales of cut flowers and plants for home decoration. That Mothers' Day Campaign. Albert Pochelon, chairman of the publicity committee of the Detroit Flo- rists' Club, has issued a statement of the receipts for the Mothers' day cam- paign and of what his committee did in the way of newspaper advertising and other publicity. Subscriptions for the Mothers' day push amounted to $1,118, of which $717.16 was spent. Of this amount, all but $216.60 was spent in the Detroit newspapers, the first ad ap- pearing Tuesday, May 8, and the last May 12, the day before Mothers' day. ' ' While your committee is perfectly satisfied with the results derived com- pared with the amount of money spent," Mr. Pochelon says in his re- port, "yet we wish to hear from all of you and are looking for your criti- cism. * * * Eemember we need your cooperation, not alone in a financial way, but also in new ideas. We already have under way a still stronger cam- paign for Memorial day, which, you will all agree, is not nearly enough ex- ploited in Detroit, compared with what is done in eastern cities. ' ' The report gives a list of the contrib- utors, who numbered 205, and the amount each gave. Also, there is an appeal for funds to carry on the work of the club's publicity committee, as, the reijort says, ' ' there is a chance for you to help to make our fund larger so we may keep up this advertising campaign for several days during the year." From this report it will be seen that the Detroit florists are satisfied that co- operative campaigns for special flower selling days pay and that the trade there is going to overlook none of its opportunities. HOW HOLLAND BULB IMPORTS DOUBLED ir)«>rtr«virrstir?»ihrsvir?svir«viri«\irravir?s*^^iirsvir^ AN OFFICIAL EECORD. Covering Four Years' Business. Last autumn The Eeview showed its readers how the imports of bulbs were going ahead of all previous records and last week this paper published the offi- cial figures of the United States govern- ment for the six months from July 1, 1916, to December 31, 1916, indicating the following totals for the half year: Hyncintli bulbs, nstilbc, dielytra and lily of the valley clumps 33,148,000 Lily of the valley pips, tulips, nar- cissus, begonia and gloxinia bulbs. .187,400,000 All other bulbs, roots, root stocks, corms and tubers VFhlch are culti- vated for their flowers or foliage... 44,293.000 This week the official figures of the exports from Holland are available, sup- plied to Frank W. Mahin, United States consul at Amsterdam, April 23, by the General Society of Bulb Growers. The Consul's Comment. "According to the official figures," says Mr. Mahin, "the foreign bulb trade of Holland was unusually small in quantity in 1916. The exports or bulbs were not materially less than the aver- age of preceding years, but the imports were barely twenty per cent tho quan- tity during the last peace yt,ar. How- tions or materially alter the quantities. "The decline in the total quantity of exports," notes the consul, "was due to the smaller shipments to the British Isles, which country prohibited the im- portation of bulbs. The export to the United States and Canada is totaled into one, but the records of the consul- ate show that only a small part went to Canada. "Although prices obtained in 1916 were apparently high in comparison with peace prices, they were in reality unsatisfactory when unfavorable rates of exchange and other war factors were taken into account. Cost of produc- tion was also unusually high in 1916. It is said that at least 2,000,000 kilos of bulbs were sold at prices below cost at the end of the season. This Year's Outlook. "The prospects for 1917 are uncer- tain. Although the United States and Scandinavia took an unusually large quantity of bulbs in 1916, it is feared that the quantity will be unusually small in 1917. Facilities for transpor- tation to the United States are uncer- tain, and the export to Scandinavian countries depends upon their doubtful ability to obtain the fuel necessary to Tabic of Holland's Bulb Exports for Last Four Years.

The table shows the exports during the last four years, in kilos of 2.2 pounds each. Packages of bulbs transmitted by mail are not included in the table, but they would not cliange the propor- warm the hothouses where bulbs ffre flowered. Further, Germany and Aus- tria now prohibit the import of bulbs, which alone can reduce the total ex- ports of Dutcli bulbs by twenty to thir- ty per cent. "The situation is considered so un- satisfactory for the industry that gov- ernment aid has been asked and will be extended so far as may be practicable. "The past winter was so severe that many bulbs were frozen, and the spring is so backward that the development of bulbs in the ground is seriously re- tarded." Holland's Imports. In normal years Holland imports a considerable quantity of bulbs, but the importations almost ceased last year. The record of imports for the last four years is as follows, from the United States and the total of all imports, the quantities being in kilos, which equal 2.2 pounds: Year From tJ. S. Total 1913 167,400 2,177,700 1914 131,900 1,377,60(1 1915 02,!>00 863,300 1916 53,700 468,800 The decline of imports was, of course, due to the war, which diverted bulb in- dustries to other purposes in belligerent countries and limited cargo space from the United States to Holland. • Doubled Up On America. It will be noticed that the weight of bulbs sent to America doubled in four years; that is, in the last peace season the exports to this side of the Atlantic Avere slightly less than half what they were in the third bulb season of the war, the increase having been consid- erable in the first and second seasons, but extremely heavy, nearly 3,000,000 kilos, last season, after the British gov- ernment shut off the traffic. Everyone knows that the imports of bulbs in 19T6 were greater than could readily be used in this country, that the ordinary metliods did not suffice to move them and tliat many expedients were adopted to work off the surplus. The Result. The result was a large overproduction of bulbous flowers this spring, a pro- duction that made bulb forcing unprof- itable for the average grower who de- pends on a wholesale market and which depressed the values of all other cut flowers while the bulbous flowers were in season. Consequently, the salesmen for the Holland houses met with less than their usual success in booking orders in this Max 31, 1917, The Florists^ Review 17 country this winter and spring. One of the factors against them was that their houses in Holland felt the neces- sity of obtaining war-time prices for bulbs in the face of the fact of re- stricted markets and their necessity of working off their surplus in America. Many growers and jobbers who undoubt- edly will use large quantities of bulbs have refrained from placing orders, feel- ing sure that if transportation is avail- able the quantity of unsold stock on the market will depress prices, as Con- sul Mahin notes and the trade all knows it did at the end of last season. Grermany's Supply also Coining. But the most important item in Con- sul Mahin 's communication, for it is news, relates to the German market having been closed to the Hollanders. Germany normally takes twenty per cent of the Holland bulb crop, but last year took thirty per cent, while Amer- ica normally takes twenty per cent and last year took almost fifty per cent. With the German market closed by embargo the United States will be the only large market open to the Holland bulb exporters. Great Britain normally uses twice as many Holland bulbs as has the United States, Germany as many, as we and France an appreciable quantity. It seems, therefore, that the Hollanders will seek to find conveyance to America, and a market here, for a quantity of bulbs four times as great as in 1913, the last peace season. There may be a considerable reduction of the output in Holland this year, due to the various factors that have been at work, but there is not the slightest indication or intimation that the crop will be re- duced in anything to compare with the quantity of bulbs ordinarily taken by the markets now closed to them by or- der of the belligerent governments. It is reported that the British Board of Trade now has absolutely prohibited the importation of bulbs and has given notice that no special licenses to import will be given for any reason whatever. Britain's Complete Embargo. The 1916 crop of Holland bulbs was excluded and the quantity of Japanese bulbs admitted was reduced one-half, but French bulbs were admitted without re- striction, although the principal cargo ot Paper Whites shipped to England last year was submarined in the Mediterra- nean and was lost. As a market for the world's output of bulbs, the British Islands have been of greater importance than any other, taking more Dutch and French bulbs and, until recently, more Japanese lily bulbs. Unless it should appeal to the govern- ment of the United States to follow the lead of England, France and Germany, it is apparent that the trade in the United States will be asked to handle practically all the bulbs produced in the world so long as the war lasts. 8SgOBOIOBSIBSRSB^llSJBHH5SiOIO^ WIND AND HAIL HIT THE TRADE AGAIN ILLINOIS THE STORM CENTER. Central States Suffer Once More. The greenhouse trade in the central states sustained many losses by wind and hail Saturday and Sunday, May 26 and 27, two storms following each other in such quick succession as to confuse those who had to deal with the disaster. Beginning in Kansas May 26, a wind storm moved eastward, assuming cy- clonic proportions on the prairies of central Illinois and spending itself as it approached the Indiana line. But next day Indiana and other states to the south and east were visited by the heaviest hail in many years. As is usual in such cases, the florists in the affected districts were among the chief sufferers, but in Indiana and other states the market gardening fra- ternity also was hard hit, the hail be- ing so fierce as to cut up all soft stock in the open ground. The trade's losses by the second storm were greater than by the first, for the reason that the hail fell in dis- tricts that have more and larger green- houses than are found on the Illinois prairies. Mattoon, 111. Mattoon, lying just south of the cen- ter of Illinois, bore the brunt of the storm May 26, which here assumed cy- clonic proportions. The path of the storm was narrow, but, passing over the northern part of the city, it caught most of the greenhouse establishments. A. D. King was the worst sufferer. His greenhouses and dwelling were de- molished and he received slight per- sonal injuries. A. L. Kirchgraber, whose place on Lafayette street was on the edge of the storm, will be able to replace his broken glass for $50. J. W. Shrader, on Charleston street, has the largest range of glass in Mat- toon and he, also, was out of the direct path of the cyclone. He says he will be able to replace the glass that was broken at an expense of $50. In the direct path of the cyclone 496 dwellings were destroyed, fifty-one per- ,t%t9(.Ar»it i Shaded Portion Shows Path of Storm. sons were killed and hundreds injured. Mattoon has 15,000 people. Charleston, 111. Charleston is a city of 7,000 inhabit- ants just east of Mattoon. It was in the direct path of the cyclone that hit the larger city and suffered as badly. Miss Etta J. Nott, proprietor of the Charleston Greenhouses, is the only flo- rist in the town itself. She had about 5,000 feet of glass and the establish- ment was practically destroyed by the wind. No hail fell. The Eeview 's other subscribers at Charleston are located on rural routes. Hardy F. Hill has 5,000 feet of glass on Route No. 7. C. E. Eaton, whose specialty is dahlias, has no greenhouses. New Castle, Ind. The establishment of Peter Weiland was on the edge of the tornado which hit several of the big growers there only a few weeks ago, but he was in the direct patli of the hail that fell in un- precedented quantities May 27. Mr. Weiland estimates his loss between 400 and 500 boxes of glass. There was some loss on stock in the greenhouses, cut by falling glass, but, aside from the breakage of glass, the greatest loss was in tlie field. The acres of young carna- tion plants were badly broken down; it is yet too soon to tell how great the loss on this item will be, but it will be considerable. In the great field of peonies the plants were stripped of two- thirds their foliage and buds, with the result that the crop will be almost a total loss. The hail was followed by heavy rain, which continued most of the following niglit and day. This ruined the cut flowers not damaged by falling glass, the sweet peas suffering especially. Mr. Weiland has nearly 100,000 feet of glass. He had $5,000 of tornado and hail insurance, $3,000 on the glass and $2,000 on the stock, including that in the field. The other growers at New Castle are located at some little distance from the Weiland range. Terre Haute, Ind. Terre Haute is almost due east from Mattoon and Charleston, but the losses here were by hail instead of by wind. The hail was the heaviest ever known in this section and was general over the city, so that net one greenhouse es- 18 The Florists^ Review May 31, 1917. caped. The losses range upward from $100 to $;i,000 for the llorists, with the loss of the Davis Gardens, growing veg- etables in great glass houses, running much higher. The liorists here, with the approxi- mate amount of glass operated by each, are as follows: Terre Haute Uose & Carnation Co., 75,000 feet. Heinl & Weber, 30,000 feet. J. IJ. Heinl & Son. 18,000 feet. Cowan Uros.. 15.000 feet. F. Wunker & Sons, 12,000 feet. H. Graham, 10,000 feet. N. H. Stover & Son, 5,000 feet. There are several other places that do retail trade only, some of them hav- ing no glass at all. The growers who lost glass were near- ly all members of the Florists' Hail As- sociation and their losses on glass, from $100 to $3,000, are well covered with insurance. Much the largest greenhouse range at Terre Haute is that at Davis Gar- dens, the vegetable forcing establish- ment started here only a few years ago by J. W. Davis, of Davenport, la. These are Lord & Burnham iron frame houses of the most modern construc- tion. The range consists of service building and five houses, each 80x600 feet, but work is under way on an- other set of houses just doubling the range. Of these live new houses two were practically completed, a third was ready for glazing aild the two others had the frames nearly up. There there- fore were seven houses with the glass exposed to the hail. The breakage was approximately 40,000 feet, or two car- loads of glass, but the loss is estimated nmch higher, at $15,000, the cucumbers in the older houses being badly cut up. Glass and other glazing material already have been ordered for repairs. Nashville, Tenn. Hail hit Nashville. The wind did no damage and hail fell only in spots, so that some of the growers escaped with- out the loss of a single pane, but at the new place of Mclntyre Bros., where the construction is thoroughly modern, three-quarters of the glass was broken. At the old place of this firm the damage was less severe, not more than one-third the glass breaking. In all the firm has about 150,000 feet of glass and the loss will be considerable. Louis Haury, who has about 60,000 feet of glass, was hit nearly as hard as the new Mclntyre place. L. M. Smith and other vegetable growers lost considerable glass. The Joy Floral Co., which has the largest range in Nashville, was not in the direct path of the storm and es- caped with small loss. The loss on stock in the greenhouses will not be as heavy as it would have been at some other season of the year. North Vernon, Ind. About 7:30 p. m. May 26 a hail storm passed over North Vernon, breaking nearly aJl the glass, or about 100 boxes, in the greenhouses of Warren Huckle- berry, who is the only florist in the town. There are reports of losses by wind and especially by hail from many other towns, in Michigan, Ohio, Indiana, Tennessee, Kentucky, Missouri and Kansas, and no doubt the complete story of May 26 and 27, when it comes to be known, will show the trade's losses to be greater in number and extent than any heretofore recorded within an equal space of time. Wilmington, N. C. Hail visited Wilmington earlier in the week. It was about 4 p. m. May 23 that the third of the storms of the day passed over the city, the final one strik- ing the range of Miss Lucy B. Moore, on Market street, where the greenhouses were practically demol- ished, and the stock injured to some extent. According to a statement made by Miss Moore, the damage to the stock will not be serious, although the loss on the greenhouses will amount to approxi- mately $2,000. Work of rebuilding was begun at once. The greenhouses of Will Eehder, on Red Cross street, and Mrs. L. P. Fowler, Officers of tfic Southern Floral Co. on South Fifth street, were also con- siderablv damaged, the former to the extent of $300 and the latter $150. LET THE REVIEW KNOW. If the wind and hail have done any damage to the greenhouses in your vi- cinity, or to the florists' outdoor crop, stop long enough at this busy season to drop a line to The Review. Everyone in the trade will be watching next week 's paper for fuller information re- garding the losses sustained. Let's hear from you. And do it now! HYDRANGEAS NOT FLOWERING. I have some hydrangeas carried over from last year. They are fine plants, but have no blooms on them. They were bought last year in small pots and planted out, making nice plants. Shall I cut them back and root the tips or will they bloom? They are the French and Otaksa varieties. J. G. C. — Mo. damped off. Hydrangeas during win- ter must be kept tolerably dry at the root and just clear of freezing. The French varieties are somewhat more tender than Otaksa, but both are of such easy culture that it is difficult to see how you could have failed to flower them at all. Cut back well, plant outdoors in good soil, pot up in Oc- tober, keep outside so long as frost keeps off them, place in a frostproof cellar, pit or frame and air on all favorable occasions through the winter. C. W. SOUTHERNERS GET IN THE GAME. The Southern Floral Co., of Houston, Tex., is making arrangements with northern wholesale houses for the dis- tribution of its large crop of cut gla- dioli, the stock to be handled by only one house in each of several of the larger flower centers of the north. The company, aside from its range of green- houses, has farms in several localities in keeping with the various crops it wishes to produce. The gladiolus crop this year will consist of about 750,000 spikes. A. E. Kutschbach, who stands at the left in the accompanying illustra- tion, is president of the Southern Floral Co., and J. B. Flynn, who is at the right, is secretary. A SHORTAGE OF PARIS GREEN. A probable shortage of Paris green this year, depending largely upon the extent of the ravages of potato bugs, is forecast by manufacturers and dealers. The price of Paris green advanced sharply recently to from 40 cents to 45 cents a pound in kegs, standing at from 3 cents to 5 cents a pound above the quotation at the beginning of the month, and representing an advance of about 10 cents a pound over the price a year ago. This condition is ascribed to the difficulties in obtaining white arsenic, the principal material used in making Paris green, which is scarce and high at present. The opinion is generally expressed in the trade that there would be about enough Paris green to accommodate the normal requirements, but in view of the plans for extensively increasing the cul- tivation of the potato to prevent a food shortage it is feared that the supply will not be ample to fill the demand. The representative of one of the largest houses manufacturing the poison said that its entire supply had been sold out some time ago and that all inquiries were being turned away. The bulk of Paris green is manufac- tured during the winter months, as its production is highly dangerous, requir- ing that the workers be closely confined, and warm weather- would make the risk to workers too high. Moreover, the lack of white arsenic will prevent any large increase in the output. If there is a scourge of potato bugs, such as comes in some seasons, the plants will proba- bly suffer, particularly if the cotton crop demands a large part of the sup- ply for the extinction of cotton pests. You must have either frozen the flower buds on your hydrangeas, or subjected them to unsuitable storage conditions in winter, so that they have Independence, Kan. — After a two weeks' honeymoon, P.

C. Amling Co. There are three houses like this in the range, each house 57x350. It is an old saying that "nothing succeeds like success" and in this case there is an unusual com- bination of successful elements, the builders, the wholesalers, the growers and the rose all having achieved an unusual degree of success in their re- spective fields. MILDEW ON BAMBLEB HOSES. We are daily receiving calls from customers asking our advice about mil- dew on roses. Dorothy Perkins and Crimson Rambler especially have been hard hit by this fungus, which each year greatly damages the crop of flow- ers. Will you please tell us of a rem- edy tliat has proved successful? H. W. S.— Tex. There are several probable causes for mildew. Two or three hot, forcing days followed by a raw, damp spell will assuredly start it. Cold drafts are largely responsible for it. Watering overhead too late in the day and in- sufficient moisture at the roots or poor drainage are other causes. Sulphur blown from a powder bellows is one of the best remedies. Bordeaux mixture is also a good fungicide. There are also a number of other proprietary remedies said to be effective in combating this disease. C. W. BOSES FOB EASTEB. I want to force some rambler roses for Easter and would like to know what kinds to buy. Shall I buy them now and set them out, or carrv them over in pots? J. G. C— Mo. For early forcing it pays to grow some ramblers or baby ramblers over summer in pots. These should be cut back well after potting and kept under glass until early July, then plunged outdoors and kept well watered. The usual plan is to plant stock outdoors, cut back quite hard. Reduce the num- ber of shoots which come up, retain- ing four or five of the best. Tie these up to stakes to insure better ripening, dig up and pot about the end of Oc- tober. Such true ramblers as Tausend- schon, Dorothy Perkins, excelsa, Hia- watha and American Pillar force well; • so do all the so-called baby ramblers or polyantha' type. The latter force more easily than the true ramblers. C. W. AMEBICAN BOSE SOCIETY.

[A paper read before tlie Fort Wayne P'lorists' Chill, at its uieetiug May S», by Kdfe'ar Wenniug- lioff.] We llorists are all stiixiiig for more l)usiness and certainly tlicre is no bet- ter way to secure it than to attract and interest the public by displaying the highest quality of flowers. A clean and well arranged window, with fresh flowers well displayed and the arrangement frequently changed, is the best bid for trade the florist can make. In fact, an attractiye window is the florists' best advertisement. A fine display in the window is an active medium in winning new customers. We want the non-fiower-buying public to realize more and more that flowers are always an appropriate gift, whether it be for an occasion of rejoicing or in a time of sorrow. Novelty Excites Comment. Plants which attract unusual atten- tion, such as the calceolaria, blue hy- drangea, yellow calla, and fancy-leaved caladiums, displayed in the window, arouse interest and stimulate trade. I notice that these oddities are partic- ularly interesting to the men. If we arouse and hold their inteiest we have gained a good class of trade. Invariably a great many buyers be- come discouraged at holiday time, on account of the necessary advance in prices on cut flowers and the volume of business, which makes it difficult to give the service desired to new cus- tomers. After the window display has at- tracted our first-time customer into the store, Ave must hold up our reputation by supplying only the best quality of flowers and giving good service, so that the new customer will become a regular patron. Another fact that discouiages a great many purchasers of cut flowers and ])lants is the perishability of the stock. For this reason it is always an advan- tage to both the Avholesalor and re- tailer to sell only fresh flowers. The newer varieties of roses haA-e helped AvonderfuUy in promoting the s.ale of cut floAvers.

Couviuce them that the same amount of money ex- I^endeil for the higlier quality of roses gives them better value and more satis- faction. Charge for Time Also. I cannot recall any other business in which it is so often expected that work shall be done witliout pay, as in the various lines of tlie llorists' business. A great many llorists are donating their time. A wreath or spray is ar- ranged, never considering the actual time it takes to execute the work. It would be a good plan to charge for our time and this policy would add a great deal of dignity to the llorists' business. We are engaged in a business dealing with perishable goods; we must give service and time, so we ought to be paid accordingly. There has been no advance in the selling price of cut flowers, consider- ing the improvement in the quality and varietv of our flowers todav. THE PLANTS IN THE FIELD. Giving Them a Good Start. By this time you probably have your young carnation plants all in the field. If you have not, lose no time in get- ting them out. The month of May and early June are usually ideal for making growth and the young plants should be given every opportunity to get an early start, especially where early housing is practiced. This spring has been unusually backward. But, while the young plants have not made much top growth to date, yet the roots are getting a good start, thanks to the frequent rains, and when warm weather does set in you will almost see them grow. Unless it becomes unusually hot and dry in the next few weeks, we expect to see the finest carnation plants in years. Getting the young plants into the field is a big job and we invariably breathe a sigh of relief when it is finished, but we must never get the idea that once the plants are out they can shift for themselves even for a short time. That is a mistake which is made too often by those who do a general retail plant business. During the bedding season, which follows close- ly upon the carnation planting season, the carnation field is neglected and the young plants do not get started ofiE as they should. Between Bains. At this season rains usually are fre- quent, and unless the soil is worked between rains, it will pack down and form a hard crust that cannot be broken up properly until the next sea- son's plowing. We make a practice of going over the field with the cultivator as soon after each rain as the soil is dry enough to work properly. This keeps the soil pulverized and helps to hold the moisture, which is of great benefit to the plants during any dry spell. With good plants to start with and a few good rains after they are set in the field, you can get along with little rain if you will keep your cul- tivator going. It will give far better results than most of the artificial water- ing that is done. There are methods of artificial watering which are really a success and I may have something to say about them in the near future. Many growers have been driven by sheer desperation to install them and in most cases are getting good results. Early Benching from Pots. If you are planning to plant some of your beds from pots, make every pos- sible effort to get the plants estal: lished before hot weather sets in. W^ had a good illustration two years ag of the advantage of early benchin from pots. We planted one bene about the middle of May and the othc about the middle of June, using Ei chantress Supreme for the early bene and Eose-pink Enchantress for th other. Both were from 4-inch pots an all the plants had been shifted int the 4-inch size at the same time. A though the later benched plants wer not unduly potbound, the earlier plan ed bed gave better returns throng the whole season than the other. W attributed it entirely to the earl planting, as we could discover no othc reason for it. Use the same soil as yc would use for the field-grown plant and prepare the bed in the same mai ner as regards the manure in the bo torn, etc. Select for this purpose tl; beds that will get the best ventibi tion during the summer, as it gets ho enough for them at best. A Conference of Growers. t During the last season, or I miglit say for several seasons, many carnn- tion specialists have found it rather difficult to make both ends meet. Un- satisfactory market conditions, coupled with poor growing weather during the summers, have made it impossible for them to produce a revenue commen- surate with the effort put forth. This is not as it should be, as a flower which is as indispensable as the carnation should afford the grower at least a fair livelihood. There may be a number of contributing causes, which could be remedied through a better understand- ing between the several parties inter- ested in the crop from the time the blooms are cut until they reach the ultimate consumer. President Vesey is calling a meeting for the purpose of getting these various interests to- gether for a general discussion of the subject of better revenues for the grower. Not only are the carnation men invited, but growers of all other crops are interested and his plan is to get a large gathering of all branches of the trade in the middle west. Every- one should be interested, from either a selling or a buying standpoint, and a representative meeting should result. The meeting is called for June 19 and 20, at Chicago.

The Florists^ Review 21 CUT OUT THE TROLIC? Make It a Business Convention. Comment ias been created by the lublication of the statement that the lorists and allied interests in New '^ork and vanity are at work raising I, fund of possibly as much as $10,000 o be expended on the social and amuse- ment features of the August conven- ion of the Society of American I'^lorists. To a number of members of ihe society it appears that this is no^ ^he time for a convention of the char-> :icter these preparations would seem to ndicate. With the country just enter- ing what threatens to be the time of :rreatest stress in its whole history, Tvith pleas to patriotism on every hand lor men and money, it seems to many that the trade will do itself no credit in the eyes of the public by expending ji large sum for a purpose that might be perfectly justifiable when the coun- try was not at war. There are many members of the S. A. F. who believe the picnic feature of the annual convention has outlived its usefulness and that the outing would better be omitted from all con- ventions. To these members it seems that this year affords a splendid op- portunity to break away from custom. In the first place, the proprieties jus- tify a strictly business convention. In the second place, New York city itself affords sufficient ^attraction and distrac- tion so that the attendance at the con- vention should not suffer by the elim- ination of entertainment for the con- vention as a body. On to New York. In this connection, President Kerr has addressed the following letter to each of the state vice-presidents of the S. A. F., under date of May 25: I am this day appointing you chairman of tlio "On to New York" convention committee. Your duty will be to stimulate a large at- tendance at the convention in New York this August. You possibly realize that this is the most impor- tant convention we have had in years. Due to the fact that serious conditions confront our country at this time, the tlorists of the country should get together and must show our coopera- tion witli the government in the present crisis. The florists' business is loooked upon by the warring nations as an unnecessary business dur- ing the time of war. It is up to us to convince tlio people that our business is very necessary mid absolutely essential in this crisis. We should K'> furtlier and devise ways and means of grow- ing such stock as will assist tlie government ill food conservation. Tlierefore, at this conven- tion, these various matters can be taken up and discussed. Impress upon tlie members in your state the A ist importance of the coming convention and I tMtst that you will take unusual interest in cir- (• iiating the members of your state. Just a sug- (.-■stion: Get up a state delegation, concentrat- ii g at some central location in your state, and I' oceed to tlie convention in a body. I'lease advise me by return mail what I may e.pect I'roin you in tliis work. The sale of space in the trade's dis- I ay for tlie New York convention is & id already to be about $4,000, indi- (• iting confidence that it will be an e :cellent business meeting.

KERR. WHEN the sweet pea enthusiasts gather at the annual convention and exhibi- tion of the American Sweet Pea Society at Boston, July 7, they may expect to sec some new specialties in Spencers. If they do not, George W. Kerr, president of the society, will have to do some tall explaining. For Mr. Kerr, superintend- ent of the Fordhook Farm trial grounds of W.

If I keep on people will l)egin to think that Tate is some old man, but I was 7 years old when I first met Bob, and that was forty-one years ago. At that time he was 18, having served an apprentice- ship of four years with Bolgiano in the seed business, and was then starting to serve an apprenticeship as a florist with Robert Paterson. After serving four years here, he took a position on a pri- vate place near Hagerstown and stayed there two years. But Bob had a vision of an establish- ment of his own, and, with the little he had saved, he started in 1880 for himself with a lean-to house 15x60 and a small packing shed at one end on part of the site of his present range. I shall never forget tliat shed, for the first money I ever earned was for white- washing it. Thus was the business of Robert L. Graham launched, with a young man ambitious to succeed at the helm. We sat and talked it over after all of these years and he looked back over the road he had traveled, at the fair weather and the storms. "With all," he said, "the fair weather has predominated and, while the fight has been strenuous at times, I never doubted tliat I would succeed. Tonight I feel that the feature most responsible for any success that I may have attained is the fact that one year after I started in business I married the daughter of the man with whom I served my time. How Stock Was Marketed. "In those days the only way we had to dispose of the stock we grew was in the markets. Many a time in the spring of the year I would he in the old Marsh market and liave a load of stuff sold to the liucksters (they were "dealers who bought in the market and sold from house to house) by half past 5 in the morning; then honu' and back by 7 witli a load for my regu- lar patrons. The better ])art of the afternoon would be spent in fixing cus- tomers' yards, then to work on my own place until it was time to go to ])ed. " I asked if sucli things were done now, to whicli he replied that lie did not think the voung man of todav was willing to pay the price. "Well, about this time," he contin- ued, "I had an opportunity to buy an old house from a man who had given up the fight, and with this material I erected another liouse 18x60. When I took stock of my resource^?, I also took heart, for was I not progressing? I had a wife, two fairly good houses and a horse and wagon. "We went along this way, adding a house from time to time. Then the children began to come. September 19, 1892, we opened what proved to 1)e our best venture up to this time. That was the store at 622 Aisquith street. This was where Mrs. Graham had an opportunity to impress her personality on the Inisiness, for, like lier sister, Mrs. Johnston, she is a born sales- woman. With the store, we had an- otlier outlet for our stock. Gradually I gave up the markets and devoted my entire time to the greenliouses. While our store venture was humble Robert L. Grahanit of Baltimore. at the start, it was a success. It was here that the children were trained. In 1908, when this section of the city had become changed, the old residents having moved and foreigners taken their places, we opened our North ave- nue store and put Robert, Jr., and Mar- garet in charge. Mrs. Graham, how- ever, would not leave the place where she had built a successful florists' business from a small beginning. New Store a Success. "Time has demonstrated the wisdom of this location on North avenue. While the trade is different from that in the Aisquith street store, the children were young and soon adapted themselves to the change. The new store also re- quired a change in the growing end. The demand in our downtown store Avas for cut flowers for funeral work and the like, but wc found that for North a\ enue we were obliged to have blooming j)lants of the better kind and nothing but the best qualitv in cut stock." It has been the writer's pleasure to see, on several occasions of late samples of Miss Margaret's work. She also has the qualifications of a sales- woman, patient, accommodating and anxious to please. Robert, Jr., is a husky young fellow. He keeps the window an example of the decorator's art, has a head just teeming with new and original ideas and has the nerve to try them out. Together they are making a success with the store. Mrs. Graham practically has retired, going down only on fine days. That is the history of what is today one of the successful florists' businesses in the city. As I sat in his happy and comfort- able home, I said: "Bob, was it worth the early struggle?" His reply was: "Everything is worth just what it costs; it was the struggle and work that makes it all so dear to me today." In his busy life he has had time to help his fellow man, as he is the type to whom people go for advice. While maintaining his personal opinion, he re- spects the fact that individuals have a right to their own. He has a broad vision, but is exceedingly practical in everything he does. Mr. Graham has been twice president of the Florists' Club, one of the organizers of the Flo- rists' Exchange and one of its directors for many years. He has, on several occasions, refused to be a candidate fur political office. Mr. Graham is an ar- dent Mason, having attained the Scot- tish Rite degree. He was one of tlie judges at the International Flowrr Show in New York this spring, arl last, but not least in his estimation, is an elder in the Presbyterian churc'.. One of the first rules he made in bu^^:- ness and has lived up to was that le would sell no flowers on Sunday. ■'" late Saturday night or early Mond.'i ' would not do, he could not fill the ordc .

Collyer, who operated the . nly greenhouses at Falmouth, Ind., is fiead, of goiter. He was 36 years of age ;.nd had never married. Hilan Harrington. Hilan Harrington, a pioneer Pacific '■oast florist, died at his home, Vashon Island, Wash., Monday, May 21. For fifteen years Mr. Harrington conduct- ed the greenhouses on Vashon Island, which until he retired in 1914 were known as the H. Harrington Co. range. The same company owned a retail store at Seattle. Mr. Harrington was born in Steuben county. New York, sixty-six years ago and removed from Norwich, N. Y,, where he was in the florists' business, to Vashon in 1899. He built the Vashon range of greenhouses, which are known throughout the northwest. He left a widow, one daughter, Mrs. L. C. Beall, Jr., and two brothers. B. G. Alexander Siegel. Alexander Siegel, a retired retail florist, died at his home, 4272 Moffatt avenue, Friday, May 25, after an ill- ness of a year. Mr. Siegel conducted a store at Sixth and Washington ave- nues until a year ago, when sicjcness forced him to retire. He was well known among the trade, both in St. Louis and Chicago. Mr. Siegel was a member of the St. Louis Florists' Club and was prominent in the Masonic lodge. He is survived by his widow, a sister and two brothers. The funeral was held May 28 from the home and was attended by mem- bers of the St. Louis Florists' Club in a body. Many beautiful floral designs were sent by friends in the trade. The burial was in Bellefontaine cemeterv. J. J. B. BORDER FOR CANNA BED. Can you give me an idea for a flower bed twelve feet square in which cannas will occupy the center? H. W. — N, J. If scarlet cannas are used and you want a bed of one color, use Salvia Bonfire, but if yellow cannas are planted the red salvias would make a good contrast. Either Pennisetum longi- stylum or P. Ruppelii makes a nice border for a canna bed. It would be best to use cannas for the whole bed, with the exception of the border. C. W. XANTHOSOMA BATAVIENSIS. Among ornamental plants which have large leaves, the aroides, or arum fam- ily, have long been favorites. Caladium csculentum is the best known of this class. Others not as well known, but which are even more attractive, are the alocasias or xanthosomas, and X. Bataviensis is the handsomest of them all. This beautiful plant has a broad, arrow-shaped leaf of a distinctive blu- ish green shade, much more handsome than ealadium, and has large dark pur- ple stems which add much to its at- tractiveness. They do not make so large bulbs as do the caladiums, but even with a small bulb or plant, if given plenty of moisture and rich soil, they soon reach a large size. We had a bed of them planted in the convention gardens at Houston, Tex., last year and they were awarded a certificate of merit. Every florist should give them a trial and in planting them should remember that all of this family of plants are voracious feeders, requiring not only rich soil, but a plentiful sup- ply of moisture, and I feel sure they will be pleased with the results.

Under separate cover I am sending you a dozen tomato plants that are suf- fering from some kind of root disease. I grow several thousand plants, but this variety, Magnus, and a few of the va- riety Stone, are the only ones affected. The plants were grown in hotbeds in which wood soil was used. Other va- rieties, grown in the same beds, within six inches of the plants sent, were not affected. Can you tell me the cause of this disease and how I can overcome it? C. E. M.— O. WOONSOCKET, R. I. Washington Street Greenhouses, at Franklin, have a good trade in bedding and potted plants, of which there is an unusually large supply. Boucher Bros., landscape gardeners and foresters, 81 Union street, have been engaged by Tree Warden Michael Crane to spray and prune the trees of the city, which will take about two months. E. A. Chipman, who has been in busi- ness since 1875, announces Chipman 's Greenhouses as "The same old man; the same old corner; the same old style of treatment. " W. H. M. The tomato plants show unmistak- able signs of club root,- also called club foot, or Plasmodiophora brassicae. This disease attacks the cabbage, cauliflower, turnip, radish and other vegetables, in addition to some of our common weeds, like hedge mustard and shepherd's purse. Your tomatoes have probably taken the disease from infected soil, the spores of the disease persisting in liv- ing over winter in the soil. There is no known cure for this disease, but all affected plants sliould be destroyed. Soil that breeds club root should not be planted to crops likely to take the disease, at least not for a couple of years, and it will help in some measure to plow the land and leave it rough over winter, at the same time giving it a good application of lime, at the rate of 2,000 to 3,000 pounds per acre. C. W. £ji III! iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiirw i MOTT-LY MUSINGS ! "By their fruits ye shall know them," observed H. N. Hoffman, of Elmira, N. Y., while engaged in label- ing a stocky batch of fruit trees. ' ' This certainly has been a great season for planting, and we were never so busy in the nursery," reported Mr. Hoff- man. His honor still fills the mayor- alty chair, and says that between busi- ness and the pleasure of making gar- den allotments, there is no rest; but lie enjoys it. Two husky sons are home from Cornell, and are a big help. One, Allyn P., is a landscape engineer and strong in perspective. The other, Ar- thur, bids fair to follow in the mayor's footsteps. A. H. Bool, of Ithaca, is reported as having additional greenhouses on the tapis, finding the demand beyond the supply. There has been quite an increase since he returned to the fold. Eobert Craig makes daily trips be- tween Philadelphia and the Norwood establishment by automobile. I met our veteran friend passing through Darby. He observed that "keen though one's vision may be, to attempt to predict the future is folly. The most sensible view is to keep steadily at it and hope for a speedy end." Eobert Craig, Jr., notes excellent plant sales. G. A. Strohlein, of Henry A. Dreer, Inc., Eiverton, N. J., mentioned that "history is repeating itself in the palm line, as it were. Some years back it was customary to import arecas from the tropics. Now they are being shipped. By the way, Adiantum glo- riosum is reproducing finely from seed." William Wunder, of Pittsville, Pa., hung up the receiver with the remark that "it is the small things that an- noy. We recently received an offer of $6,000 per acre for our place of seven- teen acres .and feel strongly tempted to accept it." . John Welsh Young, of Philadelphia, observed that the war apparently had frightened the many applicants for the greenhouses at Upsal. The question of taking the glass and piping for use at the Enfield plant is under considera- tion. There is ample room there and stock does splendidly. Louis Dui)uy, of Whitestone, L. I., has presented each member of his fam- ily with a Liberty bond of comfortable denomination. Should business con- tinue as satisfactory as in the past, the distribution will be extended to every member of the establishment. Satow & Suzuki, of Whitestone, L.

The Review brings results. There remains more bedding out to be done in June than in any previous season. Another of the scarce items is insecti- cides, and with these may be included the chemicals of which weed killers are made. It can no longer be said that there is a standard price for 4-inch geraniums, but by next season it is to be hoped 10 cents will be recognized as the standard price, just as 8 cents was for years. Eastern growers, who are known to be less quick to change than those of the middle west, this season are following the lead of the westerners, cutting down on American Beauty and planting more of Mrs. Kusscll. The outdoor tulips never gave more show for the money. The cool season has kept them in bloom weeks past the usual time, and the general satisfaction result- ing should make for easy selling in the bulb season next fall. There are indications that canna roots will be excellent property next winter. The canna has been gaining in po])ularity, but t!io excellent demand tliis season does not ajipear to have encouraged the Carolina growers, wlio produce tlie greater part of the trade's supply, to increase their acreage. The country is being warned that preparation must be made for years, not months, of war, and as time passes and military needs increase it no doubt will be the policy of tlie government to squeeze so-called non-essential industries for tlie men and mjitcrials necessary for carrying on the great conflict. The dove, emblem of peace, is out of favor just now, even on funeral flowers. The open season for the bombardment of greenhouses with pellets of ice is drawing near. How about that member- ship in the Florists' Hail Association? The indications are that the summer supply of cut flowers will be smaller than in recent years. In the first place, mil- lions of gladiolus bulbs failed to get by the U-boat blockade. In the second place, asters have discouraged growers and the supply of seed practically was limited to home production. In the third place, a good crop of potatoes on the place will at least feed the family. The other man's ideas always are worth consideration; frequently they show the way to better prices. For instance, there are a number of retailers who are ready to pay a little extra money for roses that got their long stems without being pinched. The idea is that the water does not flow freely through the hard joint at the pinch, as it does through a good, long, straight stem that has not been stopped. It is worth while separating the single growths from the stock with the knots. LOGIC IN ADVERTISING. One of the things in England that most surprises the American visitor is the way Englishmen attempt to heat their buildings. With few exceptions the English office buildings and hotels, and with nearly no exceptions English homes, are still heated by open fires. This means that a good deal of the heat goes up the chimney, and what remains does not get far away from the fireplace. Now, some advertisers waste their advertising money in the way the Eng- lishman wastes his heat. They scatter it in several open fireplaces where it does little good, instead of concentrat- ing it in a central heater that would dis- tribute it evenly and thoroughly throughout the trade. Of The Review, 12,500 copies are printed each week. How many florists do you think there are who do not read The Review? The results are big, at small cost, like this: Please discontinue our salvia nd. We are get- ting more orders than we can handle. — Simanton & I'ence, Falls City, Neb., May 22, 1917. Stop our sweet potato plant ad. We are swamiied with orders! — Kring Bros., Fairbury, ni., May 22, 1917. When 3'ou hear a man complain of the cost of advertising you can be pretty certain he spends a good bit of monev elsewhere than in The Review. ADMINISTERING BROMIDES. A Boston man advised the audience at a mass meeting held recently at Hingham, Mass., to "tear out the flower beds and plant vegetables," and expressed the hope tliat "every florist would be put out of business." Need- less to say, the remarks struck no re- sponsive chord among his hearers and later William N. Craig, who was in the audience, "took pleasure," to use Mr. Craig's own expression, "in helping to spike the guns of the anti-florist orator." This is the type of hysteria that the best minds in the country are trying to provide a sedative for. The doses of bromides they are administering come in the form of advising the peo- ple to continue their daily activities as in normal times. "Don't waste," is good advice in times of peace as weU as war, but much of the so-called econ- omy advocated by well-meaning, but misguided orators, would bring about the condition we are trying to avoid. Putty-colored buckskin or kid pumps are not necessary to the welfare of the women of the United States; flat- heeled, broad-toed footwear would keep the feet off the ground more effective- ly and would cost some $7 or $11 less per pair. Much of the prosperity of New England, of which Boston is "the hub," is due to the love of the femi- nine member of the family for pretty shoes. Why not tear out the machines for making these shoes? Why not hope that every maker of fancy shoes gets "put out of business"? Because, if this condition should come about, there would be few now employed in the shoe manufacturing trade with money enough to buy flowers. Put the flo- rists out of business and some thou- sands of them would be unable to buy shoes. Every business is a cog in the coun- try's great economic machine. Break one of these cogs and the machine will be out of kilter. LABOR, NOW AND A YEAR AGO. Labor conditions in the trade, as re- flected by the want ads printed in the last issue of The Rovlew, are practi- cally the same as they were a year ago. That is, the calls for help are more than double the calls for employment, which was the situation in May, 1916. Last week The Review contained thirty-three help wanted and fourteen situation wanted ads. In the corre- sponding issue a year ago, there were thirty-two help wanted and thirteen sit- uation wanted ads. From these figures it may be con- cluded either that the war has had no effect upon the labor market as it af- fects florists, or that it is too soon since the declaration for the war to have an effect. Because of the experience and knowledge required, it may be assumed that a majority of the expert growers are men past the conscription age of thirty; consequently not many of this class of workers will be called. A large per cent of the advertisements appear- ing in The Review are for growers; thus there seems to be little cause for the range owner to worry over the sit- uation as regards skilled labor. CHICAGO. The Market. As sudden as was the fall in the con- dition of the market after Mothers' day, from a pinnacle of strength to the depth of debility, so sudden also was the change again to the former firm- ness. The middle of last week found the market in a weak condition, but May 26, as the orders for Memorial day commenced to pour in, prices stiff- ened all along the line, stock became somewhat shorter and the market be- came possessed of snap and vigor. From all quarters come the reports of heavy business for the holiday, ship- ping and city trade alike being heavy. The demand from out-of-town buyers was so heavy that May 28 city buyers found it diflicult to buy. Although, of course, nothing can be stated definitely until all the figures are on the books, MAY 31, 1917.

There are, of course, exceptions, cer- tain items dcvelopiufj a marked short- age. Taken by and large, it is safe to say that stock generally is of good quality and in supply just about enough to meet the demand. American Beauties are scarce and clear readily. All otlier varieties of roses clear easily at good prices. There are many Kussells of cxoeptionally fine quality to be seen, but the demand for them has not been entirely satisfac- tory. Carnations are in good supply and of fair quality. They are finding a ready sale and prices have held up to an unusually high mark considering last week 's poor market. Sweet i^eas are in oversupply and are not soiling well. Peonies, on the other hand, are a little sliort, which is an important factor in strengthening all the other lines, as the peony is the big item in this market for Memorial day. They are finding a ready sale at good prices. Gladioli are in good sup- ply, but not in heavy demand. Lilac clears easily. Lilies and callas also sell well. Good snapdragons are in fair demand, but poorer quality stock moves slowly. Good quantities of feverfew reach the market and find a ready sale. Cape jasmines are not a factor this year, the crops in the south having been hit by frost. Greens remain scarce and hold firmly to quotation prices. The Business in May. Except for one or two intervals of light demand and large oversupply, caused principally by one or two un- seasonably warm days in the midst of a cool season, May has been an ex- ceptionally good month. The record is somewhat variable, because some houses did not have their usual sup- plies of stock in May, but on the whole the market did more business, in dol- lars, than in May of any previous year. Mothers' day was big and Memorial day, in recent years among the best of special flower days, again showed an increase. The times between holidays, while they were both good and bad, were fully up to the best previous May. Consequently, if business will continue as good as it has been in May this market will be cheerful. But there is a feeling that a slump ^^^CY^JOjv^ A$^ WHOLESALE coMMiasiow FLORISTS S« Ba«« Rudolpk Sljtt . CHICAGO \Tt»ntli.M 'riiM lifviHw whfn vihi write. is imminent. Tiie season has been un- usually cool and it has held back all kinds of flowers, but especially peonies. A change to warm, bright weather can not be far away and with it will come a deluge of flowers, peonies in par ticular, carnations to a scarcely less extent, affecting the salability of roses even if the supply is not so large. The ]>eony season, however, is likely to be short this year except for the stock put in storage. Various Notes. Miss Elsie Schnapp, who joined the staff of W. J. Smyth last autumn as saleslady and designer, was his first woman employee, but Mr. Smyth thinks women will occupy a place of steadily increasing importance in the trade. There now arc only two or three stores in Chicago where the employees all are men. May 31, 1917.

Mention The Review when you write. It was by a narrow margin that C. J. Michelsen escaped being laid up during the Memorial day rush. He was carrying; so large a load of Deonies. May 24, that he could not see over them and stumbled over a truck that someone had left in an aisle of the Amling store. The contusions result- ing would have put him in bed at any less busy time. Ophelia is well liked by nearly all growers, but there are few with whom it succeeds as it does with Meyer & Dramm Co., at Elmhurst. Not only does one pinch give long, strong stems, but the flowers have great substance and keeping quality, due to an un- usual number of petals. There is some uncertainty in the market as to how war will affect the trade, but H. B. Kennicott says that if we may judge the future by the past tliere is no cause for alarm. Mr. Ken- nicott means by that to emphasize the point that the business of Kennicott Bros. Co., of which he is president, has been larger since war with Germany was declared than it has been at any time previous. At Park Eidge^ Emil Buettner con- fines his attention to roses, except for a crop of chrysanthemums and an- other of Easter lilies, which serve to keep the benches busy when not oc- cupied by young rose plants. A few years ago Mr. Buettner tried cold stor- age lilies as an all-the-year-round crop, but concluded the conditions of the market were not propitious. This year he will try it again, believing the market for lilies has improved. Although a sprained ankle has caused Allie Zech, of Zech & Mann, much pain, lie was nevertheless on the floor helping to get out the exceptionally large num- ber of orders which the firm shipped for Memorial day. Joseph Ziska & Sons report a large call for wooden easels. This item, John Ziska says, is proving a most profit- able one and he wonders at the fact that other firms have dropped or diminished their stock of wooden easels as bemg unprofitable. All planting has been finished at the greenhouses of Peter Eeinberg. The carnation field has also been planted. That the trade throughout the coun- try IS looking for good business in the next year despite the war is the opinion of Clifford Pruner, of Poehlmann Bros. Co. Of course, he says, there are al- ways the lugubrious blue men who 30 The Florists^ Review May 31, 1917.

Peter Schousboe, general foreman of Peter Reinberg's greenhouses, has moved his home to 5450 North Eobey street, the old Reinberg residence oc- cupied by Emil Reichling while su- perintendent of the greenhouses. Making hay while the sun shines, the American Bulb Co. has displayed an assortment of bedding plants at its enlarged store on Wabash avenue'. Al- though geraniums now are selling well, tomato plants are said to be in great- est request. A basket of eight readily retails for 50 cents, where six for 25 cents was the usual price of other sea- sons. Kennicott Bros. Co. employed its new store in the Le Moyne building for the handling of its city trade for Memorial day. F. F. Benthey was in charge. G. M. Reburn thinks that the Ber- muda growers, if they can free the bulbs from disease, will find a quick re- turn of popularity for the Harrisii lily. Mr. Reburn is impressed by the number of growers who ask about it. Frank J. Rioux, of the store fixture division of the A. L. Randall Co., says that business is humming in his de- partment. Refrigerators have been shipped within the last two weeks to the Flower Shop, Rock Island, 111.; Joy Floral Co., Chattanooga, Tenn., and The Fernery, Omaha, Neb. Counter trade has been most satis- factory at the new store taken over last week by A. Henderson & Co. The store is located on the same block with the company's old quarters and has a frontage on both Lake and State streets. A large line of bedding plants is moving nicely. John Kruchten has almost completely recovered from his rheumatism. "It has been April all through May," is the way John P. Degnan describes conditions at Winterson's Seed Store. Visitors. B. C.

Marion Uhlschmidt, of Grimm & Gorly, St. Louis, was a visitor last week, in quest of orchids for a high class funeral job. He found almost every- thing else plentiful. W. J. Vesey, Jr., of Fort Wayne, Ind., was in town last week. He expects to consign large quantities of orchids to this-market next season. INDIANAPOLIS. The Market. A retrospect of last week 's condi- tions shows how unstable is the market. T}ie first part of the week stock was overplentiful; carnations, roses and lilies could be had in any quantity at low prices. At the end of the week, stock was in short supply, with the de- mand heavy. Numerous weddings, fu- nerals and social functions caused an active demand and, owing to the dark, chilly weather, no new stock was brought in. Memorial day stock is greatly re- tarded. Peonies, the usual standbys, will come about two weeks after the holiday. The early purple iris is about at the end of its season and the later varieties will not make it. Candytuft, feverfew and stocks will be scarce at RAfpER / Pat.

It was the most se- vere storm of the year and did con- siderable damage to the outdoor stock of a number of florists. The Indianapolis News entertained the retail florists at luncheon, May 24.

Weakness marked the trading in the cut flower market until May 25. Then came an improvement. Excellent ship- ping orders took some of the best of the fresh stock, while the quantity buyers carried off all that was salable of four days ' accumulation of all kinds of flowers. Between these two classes, the purchasers of the high and the low grade, came an increased demand from the great medium class of buyers, who form the backbone of the market. The result was that by the time business ended May 26 the market was clear of salable flowers. This started mat- ters well May 28, but, owing to the necessity of going to press a day earlier than usual, further report is de- layed until next week. The serious feature of the cut flower business for Memorial day this year is the absence of peonies. Many ad- vance orders already have been de- clined because the flowers cannot be obtained. Hardly any local peonies will be ready, few from Baltimore and only a part crop from Washington. While this will strengthen the balance of the market, taken all in all it is a detriment. Some orders for peonies will allow of no substitute. Then again, the presence of a heavy crop of peonies after Memorial day is apt to seriously impair values. The cool weather has kept flowers in good shape. Carnations particularly have been more than usually satisfac- tory for the season. Spanish iris, so popular earlier, has been in oversup- ply. Beauties are going off crop. There has been no special call for valley or BERGER BROS.

Cornflowers are becoming more plentiful. Given cool, bright weather. Memorial day will be a busy occasion. Vegetables Under Glass. Much has been thought and said lately by some of our florists regard- ing the wisdom of helping produce food for next winter, by devoting some of the space in their greenhouses and hotbeds to growing vegetables. Will it pay? To answer this question cor- rectly is the problem. To throw son. light on the matter, the case was lai before Charles H. McKubbin, of Henr A. Dreer, Inc. He answered empha ically, ' ' No, the florist had better stic to flowers." When further urged that florist were adept growers, not novices, M McKubbin said that success with vef etables required a life study, just a does success with flowers. Most vegr table growers, he thought, are specia ists with one or at most a few crop- and they know every detail connects with the culture of these crops. In ^ May 31, 1917.

Continuing on this same subject with a grower who has been successful with both flowers and vegetables under glass, it was learned that skill is re- quired in selection of crops and time for growing and marketing them, as well as in their cultivation. For in- stance, radishes, he said, have been profitably grown after chrysanthe- mums, when the radishes are not too closely planted. They may be followed by lettuce and these in turn by to- matoes. Only a mere jumping into vegetable growing helter-skelter will not do. Success demands care. Coal. A florist who was deeply interested in the burning question called at his bank a few days ago in search of in- formation. "Do you think," he asked tlie cashier, "that government control of the coal miner would affect prices?" "What do you know?" the cashitM- asked. "Oh, merely that the war has in- creased the demand, that some miners have gone home to fight, and that just now there is a scare."

The market has been carrying a large supply of longi- florum lilies and a big supply was left over May 26. On orders for the pres- ent week, nevertheless, prices were har- dening and $8 to $10 seems a probable range for Memorial day supplies. The southern lilac is done, but the local cut is on and great quantities are being disposed of. Shipments from farther north will help to prolong the season. In fact, the temperature is not yet even springlike, so what was good for the lilac was detrimental to the peonies and there were -few good ones for Memorial day. Callas profited by the shortage of peonies and there were plenty of them, the best being worth $8 per hundred. Daffodils seem to have received a new lease of life and are of good quality. There is no end of irises and sweet peas. Baby gladioli are popular. Daisies, calendulas, pansies and stocks are abundant. Many wholesale cut flower houses are displaying flowering plants, especially geraniums. Wholesalers Organize. A meeting of wholesale florists was held May 26, on the second floor of the Coogan building, thirty-four being pres- ent. A permanent organization was formed under the name "Wholesale Cut Flower and Allied Trades Association. Eugene Dailledouze was elected presi- dent; W. G. Badgley, vice-president; Charles Schenck, treasurer, and P. B. Rigby, secretary. Various committees were appointed and it was decided to commence closing Sundays on the first Sunday in July. Various Notes. A. J. Guttman states that Guttman & Raynor, Inc., have leased adequate space in the well equipped and commo- dious store of the United Cut Flower Co., Ill West Twenty-eighth street, which arrangement takes effect June 1. This move is a clear manifestation of the trend of the times toward practical economy and the attainment of maxi- mum efficiency, while at the same time bringing the overhead expenses down to a minimum. Walter Mott, of Schenectady, was in New York several days last week, com- pleting a long southern and western trip, which he says was an encourag- ing success. Frank McCabe, on his way to Bos- ton after a successful canvass of New York and vicinity, was a recent visitor, representing' the Chicago house of A. L. Randall Co. Patrick Welch, of Boston, was in the city several days last week. A. J. Guttman has added a new auto to his "staff of assistants," for his runabouts and visits to the firm's Long Island growers. Sunday closing was up for settlement at a special meeting of wholesalers, largely attended, May 26. The verdict in its behalf was practically unani- mous. The Florists' Club's meeting June 11 win be an important occasion, with its rose exhibits, the announcement of the progress made in behalf of the S. A. F. convention and J. Otto Thilow 's illus- trated lecture on Hawaii. R. J. Irwin says all florists should inform themselves as to the war tax planned for foreign merchandise. A.

Vesey, Jr., spent several days in Chicago on a business trip. A representative of the A. L. Ran- dall Co., Chicago, called on the florists here last week. W. J. & M. S. Vesey are cutting some fine Cattleya Mossiie. Their rose cut is large, but they predicted a shortage of carnations for Memorial day. There is a fine showing of all kinds of bed- ding plants at their greenhouses. R. F. PROVIDENCE, R. I. The Market. Tliere was a shortage of flowers for Memorial day, although the supply of potted plants was large enough to meet all demands. The lateness of the sea- son has greatly curtailed all outdoor flowers, while the dark, sunless days of last week checked the greenhouse prod- ucts. Carnations were especially short and commanded as high as $10 per hun- dred. Roses were plentiful. A few peonies and some liMes are in the market. In potted plants the greatest demand was for geraniums, but several of the downtown stores made specialties of made-up rustic baskets that brought good prices and found ready sale. Mag- nolia leaf wreaths with wax flowers were also heavy sellers. Various Notes. Walter Lowe has moved into a new store at 2202 Broad street, Pawtucket. He reports an excei)tionally busy month in outdoor work. .John .Johnston, of Johnston Bros., made a business visit to Boston last week. More than 100 laborers in the public park department, under Superintendent Fred C. ©reen, went on strike May 22, demanding an increase of 25 cents per day. A compromise has been effected.

The week before Memorial day was, as usual, a somewhat quiet one. Ar- rivals were comparatively small. Con- siderable accumulations of pickled stock will appear, as usual, just before the great holiday and late shippers of such flowers will once again fail to make good. There is no likelihood of any oversupply of flowers. The season is about three weeks late here and no lilacs, Spiraea Vanhouttei, deutzias, Ger- man iris, Hemcrocallis flava and other hardy flowers will this year be avail- able, with only a limited number of Darwin and cottage tulips. But a good many of the early tulips and a fair number of short trumpet narcissi will be available. Many growers of spiraeas, candytuft, stocks and other Memorial day flowers have failed to get crops in on time, which means considerable loss. Roses are in good supply and they are cleaning up nicely. The quality is splendid, thanks to continued cool weather. Carnations are bracing up, but will not equLl Mothers' day prices. Snapdragons, gladioli, irises, sweet peas and yellow marguerites are in good sup- ply and demand. Lilies are good and have made a good advance in price. Candytuft, feverfew, spirtva, stocks and gypsophila are all in active demand, mostly selling at 50 cents per bunch. A good number of early tulips and daf- fodils are still available, with fewer Darwins than had been expected. Out- door valley did not come in on time. Cattleyas go lather slowly at $5 to $6 per dozen. Asparagus has sold quite well. Tlie call for forget-me-nots, pan- sies, daisies and other spring plants is good, with a better call for the more tender bedding plants. The call for artificial wreaths seems to bo as heavy as ever; not only are thty offered by CLEYELAK •••IIIL*** J. N.

Outdoor Flower Show. The moat important horticultural event of the year in Boston is the big open-air Howcr sliovv which opens .luiic 1 on the grounds of the Wentworth Institute, Huntington avenue. In spite of tlie cold, inclement season, there is every indication that all available spaces will l)e occupied. All plants but orchids will be planted out or plunged in tlie grouml in the several roomy mar- quees, paths of verdant lawn ten feet wide being left for visitors. The ar- rangement of exhibits and general lay- out is most attractive and artistic, color harmony being carefully considered. Farcjuhar 's rock and water garden is a grand feature, while the orchid collec- tions of Roehrs, E. B. Dane, A. N. Cooley, F. ,T. Dolansky and others, and wonderful specimen azaleas, rhododen- drons, trachelospermums, calceolarias, Canterbury bells, wistarias and other seasonable plants are to be seen. Out- doors the display of conifers is a most valuable and imposing one. No cut flowers will be staged. No awards will be made, everything being contributed by prominent horticultur- ists to give horticulture a big fillip.

Some $20,000 has been spent in preparing this magnificent show and, as it is being well advertised, a large attendance is a certainty if the weather is at all favor- able. Various Notes. At the time of writing wholesalers and retailers were never so rushed with Memorial day orders. The economy campaign has certainly not checked business for this great floral occasion. Flowers are not abundant, few outdoor ones being available owing to the late season. Artificial wreaths alone have been advertised by local retailers and sales of these unsentimental tokens again reaoli tremendous proportions. About every kind of store now offers these artificial substitutes, but a few of the liigh-class flower shops decline to handle them at all. At Horticultural hall May 26, Victor Ileurlin sliowed a fine collection of nar- cissi and tulips, which were awarded a gratuity. John L. Smith, gardener to A. W. rreston, had a collection of nar- cissi and Miss Grace Sturtevant a nice collection of dwarf irises and spring bulbs. It will probably be necessary to postpone the rose, jteony and straw- berrv show, scheduled for June 23 and 24. The W. W. Edgar Co. had a fine cut of Darwin tulips froiii outdoors. Frames were jjlaced over them to advance them.

Bedding plant trade is now extremely active. Wax Bros, made a fine caslict cover of Hadley roses and valley May 26 for the funeral of D. B. Smith, of Gloucester. They have orders boolccd for over a dozen June weddings. Memorial day business has come with a rush aud is keeping all hands on the jump. At Welch's wholesale store, 280 Dev- onshire street, a splendid lot of season- able flowers were noted this wcclt, the roses, carnations, valley, spira-as and snapdragons being grand. All hands were busy here with an avalanche of Memorial day orders. William H. Elliott, from his Brighton establishment, is getting some of the finest roses coming to the IBoston market. The varieties are Beauty, Kaiserin, Russell and Miller. From Madburv, N. H., Ophelia, Hadley, Sunburst and Stan- ley are showing up specially well. At I'enn's, Memorial day advance or- ders are, as usual, tremendous. Heavy advertising has brought a flood of or- ders from all parts of New England for artificial wreaths, but the call for natu- ral flowers also is good. June wedding orders booked were well ahead of former years. Owing to the failure of a shipment of 5,000 roses from England to arrive, Thomas Eoland will be unable to fill the entire rose tent at the big flower show in Boston this week. He had planned to occupy an entire tent with a rose gar- den. At Patrick Welch's I noted fine ship- ments of southern peonies, splendid large-flowered gladioli, candidum lilies, American Beauties, orchids and a big as- sortment of choice Manorial day flowers. . . .

John McFarland had a fine lot of longiflorum lilies, valley and spira?as for Memorial day. The florists of Greater Boston used an effective half -page ad in the Boston Sun- day Herald May 27.

Ryan, Harry Quint, Thomas J. Clark, Waban Rose Conserva- tories, W. A. Riggs and AV. C. Bowditch. Fresh cut flowers were emphasized in this ad. Harry Quint always does heavy Me- morial day advertising and this year is no exception to that rule. He has been operating a temporary downtown store at 515 Washington street for the better display of his wreaths, and botli there and at his Boylston street store reports heavy orders. His bulb displays on the lawn fronting his Boylston street store have been fine. The beautiful estate of Gen. S. M.

The display of pyrus in the Arnold Arboretum was at its best this year, May 28. The crab apples, or mains, will not be well opened before June li, while present indications are that it will l)e June 8 to I'O before lilacs are well opened. These are phenomenally late dates. Two good shrubs now in flower are Fothergilla major and Viburnum Carlcsii. The disjilay of tulips in the Boston public gardens was at its best May 2t), which is eighteen days later than in 1916. Pink Beauty is the finest of all the early bedding tulips here, but white Jodst van Vondel, Chrysolora, Keizers- kroon, Couleur Cardinal, Duchess of Parma and Proserpine are good. Seed stores continue busy in the veg- etable seed department, but flower seed business has been far below normal. There is a great demand for vegetabh^ plants of all kinds, wliile seed potatoes still are being called for. Bedding plants sell well. W. N. C. ROCHESTER, N. Y. The Market.

Memorial day promises to be up to its usual standard, but lack of outdoor stock will make it difficult to supply the demand for cheap bunches. Daily shipments of roses continue to ])Q good, the quality in all grades being high. The better grades include Fran- cis Scott Key, which is always a good seller; Ophelia, Hoosier Beauty, Rus- sell, Sunburst and Killarney, the latter being long in supply and short in de- mand. Carnations appear to be not up to the standard. The demand for Easter lilies has not been large and the market is well filled. They are spe- cially fine. Lavender and yellow irises are plentiful and sell well. Tansies and forget-me-nots are used for individual decorations. A quantity of red, pink, white and lavender Ger- man stocks reach the market and are in demand. Sweet peas remain popular. Good stock clears easily. Yellow and white daisies are selling well. Candy- tuft and sweet alyssum are good and ' are used in funeral work. Darwin tu- lips still are plentiful. Greens are in good supply. Various Notes.

Hanging baskets were filled with the flowers, as were baskets on gilded pedestals. Bowls of yellow daisies and pansies surrounding a bird bath were on the floor. James Vick's Sons are doing a big busi- ness in seeds. Sales in May were far ahead of April, despite the bad weather. They have just purchased another farm of 120 acres, which will be devoted to seed growing. The crop at the firm's greenhouses is extra fine, but sales of bedding plants have been light, owing to the unseasonable weather.

Toll of the Storm. Temperature conditions now are nor- mal and everything in the open is do- ing its best to make up for lost time. May 25 we had a hail storm in many places that damaged crops in the field iieavily. Some of the market gardeners report that cabbage and other tender vegetables that were almost mature, are ])ractically ruined. Fortunately, the storm 's path was narrow. The storm, liowever, struck several greenhouses. So far as it has been possible to ascertain, the following were the conditions after the storm: Geny Bros, suffered prac- tically no loss; neither did Louis Haury & Sons. At the Joy Floral Co. range, tlie total breakage was replaced for less tlian a dollar. Mclntyre Bros.' old ]ilace and a large range belonging to a neighboring market gardener liad pos- sildy one-third of the glass broken. L. II. Smith, formerly a florist, but of late years confining his efforts entirely to vegetables, had about three-fifths of his glass destroyed. ]McIiityr(' Bros.' new place was in the direct path of the storm and nearly three-fourths of their glass was broken and much damage ' from otbor florists for looal doUvory on tli» usual basis.

Koses and carnations are in good sup- ply. Easter lilies are plentiful. Sweet peas are abundant and of good quality. Gladioli are in heavier supply and ex- cellent snapdragons are to be had. Other offerings include lily of the val- ley, cornflowers, callas, irises and cape jasmines. The peony supply is far be- low normal. Greens are plentiful. Various Notes. William Gardner, of Eichmond, Ind., has been shipping some excellent gla- dioli to C. E. Critchell. The William Murphy Co. reported having booked an unusually large num- ber of orders for carnations for Memo- rial day. Among recent visitors were Mr. Cox, representing the Sefton Mfg.

Thlrty-flfth annual conT«ntion, Detroit. June 19 te 21, 1917. Navy beans are selling readily at $14 per bushel for good seed stock. James Vick's Sons, Rochester, have purchased another farm of 120 acres for seed growing. The acreage of caladium bulbs in the south is said to approximate sixty per cent of a normal planting. Turnip seed continues to advance in price and a shortage is beginning to de- velop. It sells at from 7ij cents to $1 per pound wholesale. Offers made by growers in the south indicate that there is a considerable sur- plus of tuberose bulbs, with small pros- pect of finding a market. Never in all its history has the seed trade done so much business in May as has been the case this year, but the same 19 true of April in most of the stores. The acreage of Harrisii bulbs, now maturing in Bermuda, is even less than last year, but it is claimed the quality will show another step toward the disease-free days of old. It is reported in the food trade that tlie acreage of beans in Michigan has almost doubled, while in California it has increased fully fifty per cent. In the seed trpde tlie marvel is that the seeds were found. The British Board of Trade has pro- liibitod the importation of French bulbs into England this year, which will mean that the United States will be the only market for the French crop of Paper Wliites and Eomans. R. B. Howe, of the W. W. Barnard Co., Chicago, who holds a commission of cap- tain in the quartermaster's division of the reserve army, has been called to Fort Sam Houston, Tex. He will be on fur- lough from the company until released from his military duties. Seedsmen are urging their first-time gardening customers not to neglect the plants now that the seeds are germinated. A failure means much this year; it not only will defeat the purpose of the gar- dening movement, but it will cause the waste of the seeds used and the dis- . couragemont of the planter. KiRBY B. White, president of the American Seed Trade Association, asks The Review to give publicity to the in- quiry of Dr. W. A. Taylor with regard to those who wish to become familiar with tlie technique and practice of seed testing at the Department of Agriculture. Dr. Taylor 's letter was printed on page 60 of The Review for May 24. Braslan Grower for the Wholesale Trade Only.

J., Satterthwaite 's Seed Store recently filled the better part of eight pages in an issue of the Evening Times with advertising of seeds and farm and garden supplies. The advertising appeared in the form of catalogue pages, four on a newspaper page. Attorney Eotal r. Clakk, of Ean- dolph, Wis., representing the Wisconsin Pea Packers' Association, announces that the ease brought by the state of Wiscon- sin upon the relation of the Attorney Gen- eral, against the association on the ground that it was in many respects a trust, has been dismissed and judgment has been en- tered in the Circuit court for Dane county, Wisconsin. The evidence showed the members of the association put up eighty per cent of the peas packed in Wis- consin and that Wisconsin pecks thirty- seven per cent of the total output. THE JOHN H. ALLAN SEED CO. E. M. Parmelee, who is in his sev- enty-seventh year, sold his interests in the John H. Allan Seed Co., Sheboy- gan, Wis., August 8, 1916, believing he had served his time in the seed trade. The business was established in 1856 and has gone along steadily for more than sixty years. Incorporation was in 1892. Recently the company has been licensed to do business in certain western states, the growing of peas and beans being its specialty. There has been no change in the corporation. The present owners are T. H. Hopkins, man- ager of the St. Anthony, Idaho, branch; F. C. Maynard and the oflScers: Presi- dent, D, D. Rowlands; vice-president and treasurer, W. B. Lucas; secretary, A. L. Sommer. A CANNER'S VIEW. The Optimist in its latest number quotes one of the biggest seed concerns in the east as declaring they are selling a hundred per cent more seeds this year than ever before. "This apparently forecasts a goodly crop of garden 'sass' in private gar- dens,'^ says the Campbellite. "And if so, it is all to the merry. The country will need all of such help it can get to keep prices off the aeroplane route this year. It is to be hoped that enough men will be left at home to attend to these gardens after they are planted. "In the happy event that the war clouds are soon dissipated we predict that a large proportion of these 'gentle- man farmers' will raise an additional crop of blisters and backaches, together with implement costs and other inci- dental expenses, which, before the sea- son is over, will drive them to seek more inspiring and economical diversion. They will in all probability come back eventually to the well-demonstrated modern hypothesis that the can-opener is mightier than the hoe. "Moral: Another optimist is the fel- low who believes the pictures on his package of seeds." GRASS AND CLOVER IMPORTS.

MOTT-LY GLEANINGS. S. M. Isbell & Co., of Jackson, Mich., are enjoying tremendous business, ac- cording to Manager A. H. Luck, who stated that in addition to having a good supply of the leading kinds of seeds, they were fortunate in securing addi- tional acreage for future contracts. Their farmers are averse to growing small-seeded kinds, such as radish, so that, unfortunately, and for climatic reasons, these must be imported. From the present outlook the list of vege- tables for next season's catalogues will be severely restricted. • Kendel 's Seed Store, at Cleveland, is, to use a provincialism, "up to the balcony in business." "I do not be- lieve," said A. C. Kendel, "that busi- ness will amount to more than the usual in volume. There is so much packet trade and farmers are sowing less. Peas, for instance, are not selling so freely as formerly. Scarcity of labor is the reason. Never before have we done such a counter trade. While many of tlie amateur gardeners undoubtedly will be disappointed with the results of their labor, the press, a committee of which I am a member, has taken great pains to instruct the amateurs as plainly as possible, even to the extent of setting aside the advice sent out from Washington. This advice, unfor- tunately, is founded solely on theory, local conditions and situations being ignored. We have done some local advertising, but the boost given by the dailies has undoubtedly stirred up enthusiasm and, as 1 have already stated, our committee has done, and is doing, much, by the daily chart issued. We needed rain badly in this neighbor- hood and the moisture of the last few days lias done great good. Now if old Boreas will let up and old Sol will beam down we shall have a banner season to report at the annual meeting of the Seed Trade Association. And the meet- ing is going to be a hummer," con- cluded Secretary Kendol. The Theilmann Seed Co., of Erie, Pa., is of the opinion that the advent of carloads of seed potatoes from out of town lias taught the farmers a good les- son against hoarding up their stocks in the future, and the company regrets that the idea was not adopted earlier. Many others view the subject in the same light. W. M. ii 13 SEASONABLE STOCK OF WORTH-WHILE QUALITY »» MAKE US PROVE IT. We pay freight both ways if you don't agree with us.

'»^.<<-=^<<^.<»^.<<^.'<^.'^l^.<<^.'»^.<<^W=^.W^.W^.<<^.<»^.-fer( Pacific Coast DEPARTMENflf I TACOMA, WASH. The Market. Stock of all kinds is easier than it was last week, iirobably owing to the slight improvement in weather condi- tions. Sweet peas and snapdragons are now up to the demand. Stocks are coming in nicely and are helping out in funeral work. A few gladioli are also shown. Tulips are practically out. Lilac is in quantities, but is meeting only a slow demand. Carnations are scarce, but, owing to a better supply of sweet peas and other small flowers, they are not so badly missed as they were earlier in the season. Indications are that by careful selling there will be no great scarcity of stock for Deco- ration day. The lack of home-grown peonies, which are late this season, will probably be felt the most. Local grow- ers are disposing of large quantities of good cucumbers at a fair price. Lack of sunshine is keeping back the to- matoes. At Gray's Harbor. A recent trip to the Gray's Harbor district found things humming down there. Wm. Crammatte, of the Home Florists, of Aberdeen, was in the midst of making up a large casket cover, be- sides a number of other large designs for a funeral that afternoon. He was not too busy to talk, however, or to ac- cept help. A trip through his green- house showed some good carnations, sweet peas and bedding stock; also a fine house of cucumbers, for which he has a splendid demand. At Hoquiam, a few minutes' ride from Aberdeen, H. T. Pierson had a banquet table to decorate and was kept busy with his counter trade. Mr. Pierson does only a retail business and was troubled some- what over the scarcity of stock. At Montesano, Mr. Johanson and his wife were busy selling bedding stock. A trip through the greenhouse showed a nicely kept stock of carnations, lilies and other cut and bedding stock. Mr. Johanson reports business good. Various Notes. A report of the death of Hilan Har- rington will be found in the obituary column of this week's issue. "When are you going to wire me to report?" This is the query which came over the long distance phone last week to Capt. Horace Carter, of the Fourth company, C. A. C, from Wil- liam Forsythe in Detroit. The message cost $2o, too. Tlie Detroit man is a florist and joined the company last summer when he was in Tacoma to visit Capt. Carter, with whom he went to school. Forsythe has closed up his business affairs with the idea of being in the field a long time. He will be a sergeant in the company. The Tacoma Rose Society is appeal- ing to the adjutant general's office in an effort to obtain the use of the Ar- mory for the annual rose show. The plea is based on the fact that the pro- ceeds go to the Red Cross. Heretofore, the Armory was turned over to the rose society, but last year, through some new ruling, the officers of the Armory refused to permit any other than reg- ular army affairs to be held there. B. G. LOS ANGELES. The Market. A cool spell struck us last week. It will probably have the effect of short- ening up stock for Memorial day. But what is lost in quantity, will be made up in quality. The greenhouse carna- tions now in the market are rather poor and probably will be until the new crop comes in, but the field stock is excellent. In yellow flowers some ex- cellent coreopsis is shown and this, with cornflowers and blue delphiniums, is making a fine showing in the win- dows. Outdoor roses have been decidedly poor this season and the quality of the indoor stock is only fair. A few early dahlias are in and make a nice dis- l^lay and asters are becoming more plen- tiful and better in quality. Some val- ley is in. Orchids are fine and plen- tiful, especially Cattleya Mossiaj. Some nice gladioli are in the market ^'ifnd meet with a ready demand, the \best sellers, as usual, being America and the hybrids of gandavensis. In spite of the number of spring flowers in the market, strawflowers of the helichry- sum and acroclinium types sell well. In greens there is an abundance of plumosus and huckleberry, also maiden- hair, but Sprengeri is scarce some days. Good Boston and other ferns are scarce and there are few other plants worth mentioning. The different varieties of statice are good sellers now. Various Notes. Among the visitors last week were Arthur Gleave, of Gleave's Flower Shop, and E. Rowe, the famous land- scape gardener, both of Santa Barbara. Mr. Rowe, unfortunately, had to visit a sick relative as well as attend to his business of buying stock for his work in the beautiful section around Santa Barbara. Mr. Gleave also was look- ing up stock for his rapidly increasing business, but as both are busy men, their stay in the city was short. Mr. Rowe drove both ways in his automo- bile. Tom Wright, of Wright's Flower Shop, reports business especially good for this season, a large wedding order and a big quantity of funeral work in one day keeping the staff as well as a truck or two busy to handle the work. Fred Rafferty, of Santa Ana, who has been in the city for a few days, says that while his cut flower business has kept up well, there is no doubt that the war has resulted in hindering his bedding plant business, as so many people are giving their attention to vegetable growing. F. Sperry, manager of the L. A. Floral Co., took a party of friends to Baldwin and Bear lakes last week, driv- ing his car the whole distance. The desert road was the one used in going and the picturesque crest route the one coming back. Although one day was stormy and the lake too rough for fish- ing, everyone had a good time up among the big pines. Snow three to four feet deep was encountered in some places and the sudden drop to the valley below, with its bright sun and high temperature, was marked.

Business in fertilizers also has been good. The H. N. Gage Co. has been han- dling a fine line of Teddy, Jr., ferns and so well have they sold that it has been difficult for the growing depart- ment to keep pace with the sales. Some fine hydrangeas in pots also hit the Memorial day market just right. J. M. Grant, who has been working up a landscape business since he left his position as city forester of Santa Barbara, says he has as much as he can do in this line. John Fincken has the "Washington street nursery looking fine and his stock in good condition. He reports business excellent. C. A. Brazee, of Wilmington, has about finished his cut of bulbous flow- ers and is well satisfied with results and the prices obtained this season. Frank Lichtenberg has just returned from a trip to Idlewyld and reports the fishing good. Mrs. Lichtenberg ac- companied him on the trip. H. R. Richards. SAN FRANCISCO. The Market. The supply of stock has threatened to become burdensome at times. There is an abundance of practically all sea- sonable flowers and the regular de- mand has eased off somewhat with the opening of the vacation season. The situation does not promise to become acute right away, however, as the extra demand for Memorial day in all likeli- hood will take care of the heaviest of- ferings possible on that day and the close cut then will curtail the offerings to a considerable extent during the re- mainder of the week. Gladioli are late this year, as has been the case with most of the outdoor flowers on account of the backwardness of the season.

Peonies are the principal feature just now. The cut is heavy and the blooms show splendid quality. Other items that figure largely in the daily offer- ings are coreopsis, gaillardias, stocks, marguerites, marigolds, snapdragons, gillyflowers and mignonette. There is a nice lot of delphiniums and these are well received. Irises still linger and maintain their pojiularity well. Sweet peas have been opening rather slowly, but they will come freely from now on. There are plenty carnations to be had, but the average quality is hardly up to standard. Roses leave nothing to be desired either in quality or quantity. American Beauties are fine and the demand leaves no ground for complaint. Ophelia is excellent and the same may be said of Russell and Hadley. The market is well supplied with gardenias. Any extra demand for orchids causes a shortage, as the offerings are none too plentiful at any time. Fine oriental poppies have ap- peared at some of the stores and in no instance have they failed to attract favorable attention. Various Notes, E. "W. McLellan has returned from a trip to Oregon, having taken Mrs. McLellan there for the benefit of her health. She will remain some time.

LOMPOC, CALIFORNIA Mention The Review when you write. .L A. Axell, manager of the E. W. Mc- Lellan Co., says that the demand for roses is well up to normal and, taking the business as a whole, that he has no complaints to make. The volume of business so far this year has shown an increase over the corresponding period of 1916, and last year was better than 1915, the exposition year. J. Gilmore, formerly with the Hills- borough Nursery, lias accepted a posi- tion with Donioto Bros, and will have charge of this firm 's rose growing, which means that he will have twenty- eight houses of roses to look after. He was with Domoto Bros, some five or six years ago. Though not recovered from his recent illness sufficiently to resume his duties as manager of the B. M. .Joseph store, Fred J. Bertrand spends a little time every day at the flower market, which shows where his interests lie. Charles F. Shellgrain, manager of J. B. Boland's store, reports business seasonably good. Pelicano, Rossi & Co. have arranged for a big cut of peonies and are making 70 The Florists' Review Max 31, 1917. a splendid showing of these flowers at their store on Kearny street. A. J. Rossi says they are having a fine call this season. He is devoting consider- able time and attention to the work of the city j)lay^round commission, of which he is a member. Podesta & Baldocchi have been mak- ing a special feature of Irish Elegance roses, and Victor Podesta says this va- riety is gaining in popularity rapidly. He considers this year's blooms of bet- ter color than ever before. Henry Avansiuo, of Avansino Bros., took a little vacation last week in order to make some improvements at his place in Marin county, where he makes his home. He is preparing for a big business Memorial day. Mrs. R. E. Darbee is shipping a great many strawflowers. She reports that the retail business is up to expectations. Robert Newcomb was a recent vis- itor, in the interests of the American Bulb Co., of Chicago. Miss B. K. Rolfes has bought the florists' business of the B. W. Perks Co., at 2315 Telegraph avenue, Berke- ley, which is one of the best known stores in University city. She is re- ported to be doing nicely. The flower show committee of the Pacific Coast Horticultural Society postponed the meeting it was to have held last week on account of the ina- bility of some of the members to at- tend. It is planned to meet in the near future, however, in order to get plans under way for the proposed show for next spring. Fred C. Jaeger, of MacRorie & Mc- Laren, and his son are taking a little motor trip into Lake county, preceding the Memorial day rush. Walter A. Hofinghoff spent last week at his ranch near Cazadero, in Sonoma county. He reports the landscape and nursery busi- ness quite active for this time of the year. His firm is now working out ex- tensive plans for a large estate in the Sacramento valley. Prof. E. W. Stevens, of the Univer- sity of California, formerly with Mac- Rorie & McLaren, has been appointed landscape engineer for a large estate at Santa Barbara. The Menlo Park Horticultural Soci- ety is preparing to hold a sweet pea show at Menlo Park June 9 and 10. Extensive preparations are being made for the second annual dahlia show, to be given August 25 and 26 under the auspices of the Park-Richmond Im- provement Association. The Dahlia Society of California has been invited to participate in this show and will lend its assistance. The Cottage Gardens Nurseries, Inc., of which C. W. Ward is head, has been granted permission by the state corpo- ration commission to issue 1,462 shares of stock to Mr. Ward, in payment of indebtedness, and to sell 738 shares at par, the proceeds to be used for the further development of the business, which is conducted in Humboldt and Santa Clara counties. James Knox, for nine years buyer and assistant manager of the Hobbs- Parsons seed business at Stockton, Cal., has bought the interests of his former employers, and has moved to a new location at 223-225 East Weber avenue, where he has more room for carrying a larger stock. Much interest is being shown in the movement for the planting of thirty model gardens under the supervision of EASTER LILIES Carnations, Roses and other seasonable Cut Flowers. Greens. DOMOTO BROS.

"Scarcely a nursery in the country," says a writer in a British trade paper, "has been able to propagate a normal quantity of ornamental stock, and when the demand comes, as it will do, for stuff to make good this year's losses, most of the nursery stock of specimen size will liave suffered through want of trans- planting, and there will be a gap in the on-growing stocks through the suspension of propagation. From one point of view this may not be as unfortunate as first thought would suggest, for when demand coincides with shortness of stock, the im- provement in prices which has long been yearned for will automatically come about.

Kvercreen Specialists Larsrt'st Growers in America 74 The Florists^ Review May 31, 1917. mS HYBRID YELLOW POLYANTHUS I had two houses of Giant Yellow Polyanthus in full crop at Easter. A Review correspondent saw them March 31st and wrote: "They include some beautiful varieties, which are being carefully marked and saved for propagation. One bed 300 feet long, of a pale yellow polyanthus, 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 300 feet long, are devoted to this crop, and a glorious sight they are." But the best of it is they had a glorious sale. You can do as well next season if you order your stock now. Strong divisions ready in May. This is one of my houses, 20x300 feet, of National Flower Show Gold Medal Polyanthus. These have been in blooai constantly since November and will continue into May.

Mention The Rerlew when you wrlt». agency or salesmen's business will suf- fer, perhaps, where the salesmen or agents cannot be found in sufficient quantities, but where salesmen are working I believe they will be able to do a good business. "The labor situation, of course, is one of the nurseryman's big problems. The freight situation is another prob- lem; however, these, like all other prob- lems, will be solved somehow. "I note a tendency towards pessi- mism in some quarters. This to my mind is all dead wrong. Now is the time to be conservative, of course, but pes- simism won't help, and it will hurt a lot. There are, on the contrary, many causes for optimism in nursery circles. "First and foremost, the farmer, wlio buys most of the nursery products, is a favored son as never before; both the government and the banks are hold- ing him up and the government will undoubtedly supply him with labor. On the other hand, the man who plants ornamentals in a large way, in many cases has more money than ever be- fore and he probably will continue to buy. The first year probably will be worse than the succeeding ones if Canada furnishes us a fair example. In the meantime, we nurserymen must do what we can to line up the agricul- tural colleges, the agricultural publi- cations, the Department of Agriculture, etc., and get them to urge production and conservation of fruit food products and incidentally this will help the planting of orchards.

At tlic monthly meeting of the Lan- caster Countv Florists' Club May 17, Richard Vincent, Jr., of White Marsh, Md., entertained the members, their families and friends with an illustrated lecture on "Dahlias," which proved to be most instructive. The club de- cided to hold its annual picnic at Hershey park June 21. The committee in charge of the outing is composed of L. S. Landis, Harry K. Eohrer and De Barry Heinitsh. After the meeting re- freshments were served and an hour was devoted to social entertainment. Vaxious Notes. Owing to the continued cool weather there were practically no outdoor flow- ers for Memorial day. In this section only a few oflBcinalis peonies, irises and pyrethrums were in bloom. Several hot days and Lancaster county would have had the usual thousands of her- baceous peonies. The weather continues dry and most of the carnation giants in the field have had no soaking rain since they were planted. Mrs. Albert M. Herr successfully managed a garden party at the country home of Mr. and Mrs. J. L. Brown, for the benefit of St. Joseph's hospital. At Charles M. Weaver's home on Philadelphia pike there is a huge bed of Darwin tulips which attracts much at- tention and is "a credit to Mr. Weaver. Enos W. Kohr's new automobile is a beauty. His carnations continue to be among the best sent out of the county. P. J. Murphy 's Memorial day window display for B. F. Barr & Co. was one of the finest ever shown in the city. Ira H. Landis, of Paradise, is cutting some choice sweet peas from outdoor planting. H. K. E. AUentown, Pa. — Andrew Yeager still takes an active interest in the busi- ness, although his son-in-law has proved a most valuable assistant. East Bridge-water, Mass. — Speaking for J. K. Alexander, his son, J. H. Alex- ander says business in dahlia roots has been better than ever before, sales hav- ing doubled last year's record, with all surplus stock cleaned up. Mat 31, 1917.

The Market. The weather last week did not make it appear that Memorial day would bring much business for the florists, but the first part of this week brought sun- sliine aiul warmth, just what was need- ed in advance of the holiday. There were rain and hail May 26. Due to this weather tliore were practically no tulips in the market. Daffodils are about gone and peonies are extremely scarce. The cool weather, however, has kept carnations in good shape and the qual- ity is excellent. The supply is large and whether or not the demand will take care of it depends on late orders. So far orders for Memorial day have been slow in coming. The rose crop is beginning to show the effects of the dark, cool weather, both in quality and color. There is a sufficient supply, however, in everything but red roses. The supply of sweet peas, too, has been reduced, but there should be no shortage. The sale of plants has been brisk and many establishments are entirely sold out. Various Notes. Louis Manos, proprietor of a store in the Merrill building, has been confined t(i his home with rlieumatism, an ill- ness that has affected several of tlie local florists recently. Miss Ruth Holton, daugliter of F. H. Hnlton, has been ill during the last week with a cold. Adam Zender, of Rogers Park, 111., has been the guest of F. H. Holton. ii. J. S.

At the same time everything has been selling at good prices. American Beauties are of good quality and the demand has been ex- cellent. Carnations have been abun- dant, as has been all seasonable stock. Greens have been in demand. Various Notes. Every florist is busy, and has been for some time, assisting the Allied Ba- zaar at the Broadway Auditorium. The Colonial Flower Shop has added another auto truck to its delivery equipment. Eaymond House, formerly with W. J. Palmer & Son, called on his friends in Buffalo last week. He is associated with John Breitmeyer 's Sons, of De- troit, as manager of one of the firm's branch stores. The members of the trade extend their sympathy to W. J. Palmer in the loss of his sister, Mrs. Goetz, who died recently at her home in Lancaster, N. Y. John Cramer has purchased of Joseph Sangster the latter 's store on Jefferson street. Growers are complaining of shortage of labor and about the high price of coal and inability to get an adequate supply. A. E.

For the returns we would use fifteen 2-inch or nineteen lM>-incli pipes, and would use five pipes on each side wall, connecting them with the flows on the plates. The other returns should be joined with the flow under the ridge, and may be run in each direction along the end of the house to the corners and then along the side walls under the other returns back to the boiler. It is sometimes desirable to have a little more overhead heat, in houses as wide as twenty-nine feet, than would be furnished by one flow pipe, and this can be obtained by run- ning one of the returns back under each of the purlins, or on the purlin posts. We would select a boiler rated for 1,200 square feet, or with about six square feet of grate surface, although this will vary with the boiler. ST. LOUIS. The Market.

Prices will stiffen up consid- erably, as the growers will be off crop on carnations and indoor sweet peas will shorten considerably. They are about through for the season. The wholesalers expect a big cut of peonies from local and southern growers. A heavy crop of roses, too, is expected to help out considerably.

My coal bill to heat 5000 sq. ft. of glass surface with your boiler is less than last winter's coal bill, when I had only 2050 sq. ft. of glass, heated with the 8-section cast iron boiler.

There has been little change in mar- ket conditions during the last week. The cold weather has kept stock from developing, but there was no shortage. Gladioli have made their appearance in the market. Bedding plants are plen- tiful and had a large sale for Memorial day, together with wreaths. Outdoor lilacs are coming in quantities. Roses are good and sell at reasonable prices. Carnations and sweet peas are abun- dant. Various Notes. Mr. and Mrs. Henry C. Strobell and family will go to their cottage at Ocean Grove the last part of June. August C. Begerow has a miniature flagpole in the center of his window display, on which there is an American flag. A concealed electric fan keeps the flag waving. A movement has been started among the Newark florists to offer prizes for amateur window boxes. E. B. M. USINGEE'S UTTERANCES. The North Hill Greenhouses, at Akron, O., are preparing to combat the high cost of materials next fall. A 2- ton truck will haul coal to the green- houses. "They charge $30 per day to liaul coal, so why not do it ourselves?" is the question Edward Schwerdtfeger asks. The Heepe's Sons' store had a fine stock of roses and spring flowers that were displayed so as to attract the eyes of flower lovers and, as Mr. Riley put it, "they are being attracted and buy." Mrs. E. Suder, of Toledo, O., has her usual rush of spring trade. It is only a question of getting it out, as the weather has almost put a stop to plant- ing and growing. Schramm Bros., of Toledo, O., are busy getting out their orders for bed- ding stock. Here, too, the weather is holding stock back. The Helnier Flower Store, at Toledo, O., is busy witli design work and cut flower trade. A beautiful basket of snapdragons and roses, tied with two- tone ribbon, was being sent out to tlie opening of a new business enterprise when 1 called. Metz & Bateman, of Toledo.

The quantity of stock reaching the market last week was considerably shortened by the cold and rainy weather. The popular varieties of roses, such as Oi)helia, Russell, Reid, Hoosier Beauty, Ward and other cor- sage roses, cleared daily. Killarney and American Beauty, with some of the bulbous stock, were inclined to drag. The prices of roses remain good; in fact, they have been rather stiff. Carnations, tlie first part of last week, M'cre to be had so low as $2 per hundred, but at the end of the week reached $4 and $5 per hundred. The flowers were small and not plentiful. Sweet peas have shortened in quantity and are only fair in quality. Tulips are good and sell well, being used in funeral and social work. Gladioli have come in, but the sale is not yet strong. The supply of baby gladioli has short- ened and clears each day. Peonies are coming in and great quantities are ex- pected for Memorial day. Various Noties. George Davis entertained the De- troit Florists' Club May 23. Raymond House, manager of John Breitmeyer's Sons' Jefferson avenue store, has returned from a trip to Buf- falo, N. Y. A new flower store is to be opened in tlie Forest tlieater. It will be known as the Forest Flower Shop. Mr. Marenz, of Reed & Keller, New York city, called on the trade recently. M. A. Leganger, representing the A. L. Randall Co., of Chicago, visited the trade last week. H. T. Erie, Pa. — J. V. Laver says the reason why he took over the houses of the Erie Floral Co. was to secure the supply of roses produced there. By making other changes his glass area will be about as heretofore. The nursery department is progressing, busy now on a large plant- ing contract for the General Electric Co. Ernst F. Iloehl, of S. S.

Cold weather last week, with frost May 24 and 25, shortened the supply of outdoor stock for Decoration day. There were no local peonies. However, roses, lilies and other flowers, except carnations, were plentiful. The whole- sale houses have been overcrowded with stock of almost every kind, par- ticularly Beauties, sweet peas and snap- dragons. There is a scarcity of good smilax and Asparagus plumosus and Sprengeri. The majority of the retail stores handle bedding plants and are now quite busy. Business is excellent with the retailers. The plantsmen have had a little trouble in getting good blooming stock for cemetery decora- tion, for in this city everyone tries to have his cemetery lot planted before Memorial day. The cemetery superin- tendents have been experiencing diffi- culty in securing enough labor. The vegetable plantsmen have been reaping a harvest, asking big prices for poor plants. Seedsmen never before saw such a demand for seeds and if the purchasers get even half their nionev back in vegetables, we all shall have to be vegetarians to consume tlie output. Various Notes. Bert Huttinger was a visitor in Cleveland last week. Ed. Weaver, of Randolph & Meneni- ents, was ill last week. It is tliought he was poisoned by dogwood. His eves were badly affected. David Hill, the Fifth avenue florist, lost his fatlier last week. His nianv friends in the trade extoud their syni- pathies. Paul Berkowitz, representing H. Bayersdorfer & Co., of Philadelphia, was a visitor here last week. Clarke. Binghamton, N. Y.— Believing tliat the common interests of the city's trade could be more effectively promoted through the efforts of an organization, the leading florists of Binghamton re- cently formed what will be known as the Binghamton Florists' Association, with the following officers: President, Wil- liam Baker; vice-president, J.

There are plenty of reasons; here are a few: Designing is the big essential feature, all parts com- pact and extra strong; but still the weight is not such that it will make the cost prohibitive. The Quality of iron that goes into every piece. If we had you here at our factory we would show you some things about the quality of cast iron that would more than surprise you. You can tell to some extent for yourself by just comparing one of our castings with anything in cast iron. Then our Service must not be overlooked.

The Florists^ Review GSC Buy it on Guaranty Time Payments Invest In An Overland — It Pays Florists and business men engaged in all lines of trade requiring light hauling, have found from experience that Overland Delivery Wagons are the cheapest in the long run. At the price — $730— the panel type shown above is an exceptional value. It has been the ultimate choice of florists both large and small, in the metropolitan centers as well as in the smaller cities and towns scattered throughout the country. You can use one of these time saving delivery wagons in your busi- ness and use it to advantage. Just remember that when you buy an Overland you are getting a delivery wagon that will serve you steadily and faithfully over a period of years. Also bear in mind that the first cost of a delivery wagon is not the most important cost. Ask the nearest Overland dealer for a practical demonstration. Let him tackle your delivery problems.

ONCE upon a time, so the story goes, an Irishman and a German started out to rough it together. Neither had any money and they lived by the same means as any other hobo. During one day's foraging, Fritz turned up with a fine looking sausage, and brought it back to divide with Mike. They hit upon the novel plan for dividing it of each taking an end in his mouth and pulling until the sausage parted. Wherever the break happened to come, that was the division. After each had taken a good hold, Mike hissed through his teeth, "Air ye reddy? "Whereupon Fritz opened his mouth to say "Jah," and just then Mike gave a jerk and claimed the whole sausage as his own. Wouldn't the Allies like to catch the Germans napping like that on the west front? Oh, boy I But that isn't what we started out to tell you. We meant to ask about your Chrysanthemum beds.

BOSTON'S OPEN AIR SHOW A RECOED FOB AMERICA. A Success Despite HaxdsMps. "What is undoubtedly the most ambi- tious effort to stage a large open-air flower show in America opened on the grounds of the Wentworth Institute, Boston, June 1. Three acres are devoted to the tents and open-air displays. The tents alone cover a space over seven times as large as the various rooms at Horticultural hall. Work of prepara- tion has been in progress for several months and some $20,000 was expended before the gates opened. Not since 1871, when the late H. H. Hunnewell made a rhododendron show in tents on Boston Common, has an open air show been held there. The late season, un- favorable weather and the war all con- spired against the success of the exhibi- tion, but the committee went manfully ahead and scored a big success. , Rhododendrons and Azaleas. Two large tents are devoted to rho- dodendrons. All are planted out and green turf covers the area, so that all seem to be growing naturally. T. D. Hatfield, gardener for Walter Hunne- well, fills a tent 100x200 with a grand display of specimen plants, of which many are half hardy varieties. These will not be in good bloom for at least a week. Mr. Hatfield was awarded a gold medal for his collection. Another large tent contained a collection of 140 varieties of rhododendrons from J. Waterer Son & Crisp, Bagshot, Eng- land, and was awarded a gold medal. A. gold medal also went to George T. Stewart, gardener to Mrs, Samuel C. Lawrence, for a pair of mammoth green- house rhododendrons, twelve to four- teen feet in height. These were grouped in the center of the Waterer tent. The display of specimen plants of Azalea indica from Charles Sander, gar- dener to Prof. C. S. Sargent, filled a tent l(tbx200. These were in good bloom at the opening. Another tent contained quantities of large standard wistarias and large pyramidal trachelospermums from Professor Sargent. He also had a beautiful bed of seedling azaleas of the amcena and Hinodigiri type. For these Mr. Sander received a gold medal. Arranged below the big wistarias were quantities of specimen plants of Calce- olaria Stewartii from Peter Arnott, gar- dener to E. S. Webster, and W. C. Rust, gardener to Mrs. C. G. Weld. Many of these were four feet in diameter. A number of large herbaceous calceolarias also were shown. Mr. Arnott received a silver medal for his calceolarias. Roland's Roses. The special rose tent was filled by Thomas Roland. He had wide borders running around the tent planted with baby ramblers, such as Ellen Poulson, Erna Teschendorff, Yvonne Eabier and others, dottied at intervals with stand- ards. A trellis at the back was covered with ramblers. At the ends rustic bam- boo houses with seats were erected and looked most effective. Broad gravel walks went around the tent between the side border and the central portion, where beds were cut in the lawn and planted with Ophelia and other hybrid teas, Mme. Edouard Herriot showing up particularly well. The rose tent was ex- tremely attractive and much credit is due Mr. Roland for timing his plants so well under such unfavorable climatic conditions. He was awarded a gold medal. Orchids the Feature. The orchid tent contained a wealth of choice plants, the long, sloping banks being effective. This tent seemed to at- tract more visitors than any other; it far surpassed the display made at the Boston spring exhibition. Julius Roehrs Co., Rutherford, N. J., filled one side with a beautiful display containing over 100 varieties, charmingly arranged. Specimens of choice miltonias and brasso-cattleyas were well elevated to show their individuality. Some of the choicest varieties staged were: Brasso- cattleyas Maronse, Empress of Russia, Thorntonii and Helen; Odontoglossums Armanvillierense, Wilckeanum, Bicton- ense and crispum; Cattleyas Keinasti- ana. Empress Frederick, Mossiae Rein- eckiana and intermedia alba; Epiphron- itis Veitchii; Phalaenopsis amabilis; Miltonias Roezlii and vexillaria; Van- das tricolor, suavis and teres; Cypripe- dium Maudise and some choice leelio- cattleyas, and no less than seventeen varieties of dendrobes. The exhibit was awarded a gold medal. P. Edwards, gardener to Arthur N. Cooley, Pittsfield, Mass., had a wonder- fully choice collection of beautifully grown specimens. No such odontoglos- sums and odontiodas had ever been staged in Boston. Some of the gems in this grand collection were: Odonto- glossum ardentissimum Zenith, with crimson flowers; crispum Moonbeam, crispum Xanthodes, Charlesworthii, pure white; crispo-Harryanum with fif- ty-two flowers; artemis, crispum Prin- cess Mary; Odontiodas Gladys, Charles- worthii, Chanticleer, Brewii, Colmaniae and Vuylstekese with ninety-two flowers on a spike; the pure white Cattleya Mos- sisB Wagneri nivalis; Brasso-lselia-cat- tleya Veitchii splendens, Lselio-cattleyas Aphrodite grandis, Mrs. Temple Domus and Canhamiana alba. The group was awarded a gold medal. ' Donald McKenzie, gardener to E. B. Dane, staged a fine group. Included were fine masdevallias, odontoglossums, miltonias, Cypripedium Lawrenceanum Hyeanum and Maudise; Phalaenopsis amabilis and Rimestadiana; Brasso- cattleya Veitchii and Warneri Exquisite and some fine forms of Cattleya Mos- sise. He was awarded a gold medal. W. C. Rust, gardener to Mrs. C. G. Weld, received a silver medal for a nice group containing some fine mil- tonias, cattleyas and brassias. F. J. Dolansky received a silver medal for a nice group of cattleyas, miltonias and odontoglossums. A similar award went to W. N. Craig, gardener at Faulkner Farm, for a group of cattleyas, Lselia purpurata and selenipediums. W. H. Colby, gardener to E. A. Clark, had some splendid miltonias and Henry Stewart, gardener to Miss Cornelia War- ren, a number of big specimens of Onci- dium flexuosum. J. T.

The most imposing open-air display was the rock and water garden of R. & J. Farquhar & Co. This was quite ex- tensive and its construction and plant- ing took several months. There was about 100 feet of waterway spanned by a rustic bridge. In the rock garden were large numbers of rock and alpine plants, in addition to hardy azaleas, eremuri, Lilium regale and numerous evergreens. The display was awarded a gold medal. Messrs. Farquhar also had a bed of the new Chinese conifers. William Sim planted a large bed with his special strain of pansies. Other beds contained Canterbury bells, hydrangeas, standard geraniums, etc. The Blue Hill Nurseries received a gold medal for a comprehensive collection of conifers in 124 varieties, the cypresses, firs, spruces and other families being arranged in groups. Philip ,Jj. Carbone had a fine display of garden accessories arranged tastefully among evergreens. Henry Penn had a similar display. The North Shore Ferneries had a fine collection of garden furniture. Will Continue Two Weeks. The exhibition will continue for at least two weeks and large are lights give it a charming effect at night. New ex- hibits are promised from day to day. On the opening day the weather was showery, but 1,500 tickets were sold at $5 each, the proceeds being for the Red Cross. The attendance has been good on succeeding days and the exhibition promises to be a great success. James Wheeler made an efficient manager and in recognition of his services the exhibi- tion committee awarded him a well merited gold medal. W. N. C. THE HARDY SNAPDRAGONS. Deserve More Attention. Among the principal genera of flo- rists' flowering plants, such as alyssums, asters, centaureas, chrysanthemums, dianthus, sweet peas, iberis, cinerarias, helianthus, poppies, verbenas and cheiranthus, we find the annual as well as the perennial type in each genus. It follows that either one or the other was created first, and if either the annual or the perennial is not in cultivation, it is still to be created, or it has been lost in the centuries past and is extinct or may be re-created in time to come. Which one of the two types was orig- inated first we must leave to the scientists to determine; most likely the first was the annual. We must give the credit for perpetuating the annuals, as well as the perennials, to our flower- loving ancestors of the past centuries and, in more recent times, to the seeds- men, principally to those of Europe. Few florists stop to gather seeds; that part of the work is left to the seed grower. Thomas Roland's Rose Garden Under Canvas at the Boston Show. For Border and Rock Garden. Though tlie snapdragon has mot with increasing favor during the last few years, the perennial forms of it appear to have been neglected and have not been brought to the front as tliey should have been. It is not generally known that there are two classes of snapdragons and that one is awniial, while the other, known as sempervirens, is perennial and endures the most se- vere winters without cover. As a rock plant it has few equals. The florist can make a good showing with the differ- ent varieties of snapdragons now in the market, but the hardy kind is adapted to fill a special demand. It should be advertised for use in rock gardens and hardy borders and should be quoted for such purposes in nursery and seed catalogues. Many people who do not care particularly for snapdragons as cut flowers would plant them in their hardy borders and rock gardens, be- cause they are bright and showy and last more than one season. Propagation and Culture. The flowers of the hardy kind are as large as those of the average green- liouse snapdragon, and in the hands of the expert grower all kinds and colors will at length be developed. They are good for cutting and have better lasting (lualities than many well known hardy ])erennials, such as the Canterbury bell, foxglove, iris, etc. They are more easily propagated than the phlox and flowers from seed are true to color. Now is a good time to plant them out. They will make good-sized plants by fall and some of them should be taken up then, or the cuttings should be taken early in spring, as soon as the slioots are long enough, using the soft wood, as with other snapdragons.

Why Blame the Trade? On page 23 of The Review for May 17, you printed an article from Prof. S. B. Fracker, of Wisconsin, under the caption ' * Our Alibi Is Established, ' ' in which the correspondent seeks to prove that The Eeview was mistaken in stat- ing that the insect pests and plant dis- eases wliich afflict our forests and crops were not imported on commercial shipments to nurserymen and florists. But the correspondent really proves your case; he confirms your "alibi." What are the facts with regard to the pests given? First, the learned professor mentions the chestnut bark disease, and tells us it was introduced from Asia by a Chi- cago nursery firm. But, according to the best authorities, it was first discov- ered at (Queens, N. Y., and its origin Avas unknown. Anyway, no commercial shipments of nursery stock come from Asia. Second is the gypsy moth, which, how- ever, was not introduced by a nursery- man or florist, but by a professor, an entomologist. And it should be noted here that the present agitation for an embargo on horticultural importations comes only from a small group of en- tomologists and forestry men. Third on the list is the brown-tail moth, but the best authorities state that its origin is unknown, so why blame the nurserymen and florists? The way the last two pests have been allowed to spread in the New England states is certainly no credit to our large force of entomologists and inspectors, who are maintained at public expense. The Pine Blister Rust. Fourth is the white pine blister rust. For this pest we must blame the Ger- mans and the forestry men, for it was imported on shipments of pines from firms near Halstenbek, Germany, that produce stock only for forestry pur- poses. If any nurseryman ever bought this class of stock it was because it was misrepresented to him, for it is quite unsuitable. On the pine-shoot moth I have no authoritative information, but all com- mercial varieties of pines have been under quarantine during the last five years, except to the Department of Agriculture. The correspondent frankly states that the origin of the citrus canker is unknown. All citrus plants also have been under quarantine for some years from all foreign sources. The origin of the red scale is also unknown. The San Jose scale came from Japan, from which country practically no commercial ship- ments of nursery stock are received. But why continue? Does not the worthy professor know that practically all commercial nursery stock shipments come from Europe, where are the clean- est nurseries in the world; that each nursery is under the closest inspection and that each shipment i?; most care- fully inspected by trained nion at the shipping point and again at its destina- tion, and that if any lonely bug should smuggle its way in, it ia a known one and the method of handling it also is known? The contention of the trade is that any pests that have been im- ported have come from remote parts of the world, from which no commercial shipments come. Experts Often Mistaken. We are reminded of the reports made to Washington of the discovery of in- sect pests on shipments. Of course, if men are hired to find things, and their living depends on finding them, they usually do find them. How many times have the calluses at the base of Man- etti cuttings been mistaken for crown gall or root knot by overzealous inspec- tors, or the fibrous roots of French- grown apple seedlings for hairy root? Given a long scientific name, these things look really vicious. Yet they are no more harmful to the vitality of a tree than a wart on his hand is to a man. An entomologist's leanings should be destructive only as applied to bugs and helpful and constructive as applied to business. His job is to kill bugs, not business. In the legitimate field of the entomologists every nurseryman and florist is only too happy to cooperate, since his existence depends upon keep- ing his stock absolutely clean. Why blame the nurserymen or florists for all the insect pests and plant diseases that affect our forests and crops? Why do not the entomologists cooperate with our nurserymen and florists instead of advocating panicky and ill-considered laws that, if passed, would ruin trade without lessening to any appreciable degree the damage done by pests to our vegetation ? James McHutchison, Member Legislative Committee, S. A. F. MIQM CULTURAL NOTES FOR JUNE. Disbudding and Thrips. The late spring, with its cool weather, has not been an unmixed evil by any means. While all vegetation is from two to three weeks behind schedule time, and while some of the flowers we usually count on having for Memorial day will not be in for some time, these losses perhaps will be more than offset by the benefit of the cool weather to the indoor crops. The carnations are now as good as they were early in March, and with proper care should continue fine throughout this month. If you were a little forehanded, you went over your blooming carnations before the spring rush started and disbudded everything closely. In that case you will be cutting nice stock now, and a few hours now and then will suffice to keep the plants disbudded until the season is over. Spraying or fumigation, too, should not be neglected, no matter how busy you are. These are operations one is apt to let slip by during the rush of spring work, simply because the need of them is not so apparent as some other things, until the damage has been done. The weather until now has been ideal for keeping thrips in check, but unless you have continued to apply preventives, thrips will increase rapidly as soon as warm weather sets in, and they can ruin a crop of blooms in short order. Quality in June Worth While. The same is true as regards the dis- budding. One does not notice the need of disbudding until one cuts sprays of small, button-like blooms, and then it is too late to increase the size to any extent by removing the half -grown buds. There is no time when quality counts more than during the month of June. With thousands of inferior blooms com- ing into the market, it will pay hand- somely the grower who has made an effort to preserve his quality. You per- haps will find here and there a bed that will not pay for the necessary water- ing and care from now on. If so, better discontinue such beds and concentrate your efforts on the plants which carry a fair crop of buds. If you mulched any of these beds weeks ago, the plants will appreciate a little food occasionally, to help keep up the size of the blooms. You are giving the plants much water, and thereby leaching out the soil and the manure you applied as mulch, which makes it necessary to replenish the food by means of either liquid manure or a top- dressing. We prefer the latter method. If you have on hand a balanced carna- tion fertilizer, use it in moderate doses every two or three weeks. In the absence of this, mix some sheep manure and finely ground bone, using four parts of the manure to one part of the other. Sprinkle it over the surface and water it in. Formula for Shading Mixture. A little shade on the glass will pre- vent the pinks from bleaching out. Do not make the shade too heavy, as you merely want to break the extreme heat. You will find whiting preferable to slaked lime for this purpose. Mix the whiting and water to the consistency of thick cream. Then dilute it to the de- sired state and mix a 3-inch potful of linseed oil with each three gallons. We spray this on the outside with a hand syringe, a method we find quite satis- June 7, 1917. The Florists^ Review 17 factory. After a little practice you will be able to distribute it evenly. Having decided to discontinue a bed, tear out the plants to prevent insects from breeding. Whether or not you take the soil out immediately does not matter a great deal, unless the bed or bench needs repairing. It will be better for the bench to allow the soil to dry on it, than to allow the sun to beat on the bare boards for several weeks. A. F. J. Baur. STORM NOTES. Additional Losses by Hail. The wind storm of May 26 appears to have done no damage beyond that re- corded in The Eeview for May 31. A number of additional losses by the hail storms of May 27 have been reported, however. None of these losses were large, but they afford reason for prompt action in the matter of joining the Florists' Hail Asoociation: Sesrmour, Ind. The Seymour Greenhouses, owned by M. A. Barrick, of Seymour, Ind., were severely damaged by the hail storm which visited that section of Indiana May 27. Practically all the glass on the north side of the range of greenhouses was destroyed, while the stock was badly cut up by falling glass. The loss is estimated at $1,000 and is covered by insurance. The loss in stock greatly in- terfered with Mr. Barrick 's Memorial day business. Owensboro, Ky. The Nanz Floral Co. had a heavy hail storm May 27, breaking about 600 lights. Heavy rain and wind did much damage to stock. It was the heaviest hail ever seen here. The loss is covered by in- surance. Jamestown, O. The establishment of H. C. Fenker, three-quarters of a mile east of town on the Jeffersonville pike, was hit by hail May 27, the loss on glass being about $200. There also was some dam- age to stock and the necessity of clear- ing up the wreckage and making re- pairs in the midst of the Memorial day rush caused a further loss, but the sales for Memorial day nevertheless estab- lished a new record. Mattoon, HI. The loss of A. D. King in the cyclone May 26 is estimated at $30,000 and Mr. King has not decided to rebuild; he thinks of buying elsewhere if he can find a suitable opportunity. The range destroyed consisted of fifteen houses containing 50,000 feet of glass. In five minutes the entire place was demolished and lay flat on the ground. He had in- surance. Wenona, HI. There was a freak storm across east- ern Illinois, striking Streator and Kan- kakee during the night of June 5, but the only damage reported is to the greenhouses of William Metzger, at Weno-.a, which were hit by high wind. Rainfall of an inch or more in a few minutes caused many losses on stock outdoors. VINCAS DOING POORLY.

KENNICOTT. 1I7ITH the death of E. E. Pieser, who since the demise of Flint Kennicott had »" been managing the affairs of Kennicott Bros. Co., Chicago, Harold B. Kenni- cott was called on to continue the business as its president. All the I'ieser inter- ests were bought, thus bringing the business back into the Kennicott family. Since that day the history of the company has been one of progress, the latest step being removal to the excellently equipped new store at 174 North Wabash avenue. The secret of the success of the company, which is the oldest wholesale florist in Chicago, is to be found in the qualities which mark its present president — progressivenoss tempered with conservatism and a keen appreciation of business ethics. My soil is a heavy loam, and this year I used a little mixture of steamed bone. I discovered eggs of some in- sect on the back of the leaves. Could the steamed bone have brought a small worm into the soil? Would you advise the use of this fertilizer for any other plants except geraniums? Up to the present year we have used a fine vege- table fertilizer and never had this trouble. A. J. W.— O. I have not tried steamed bone for vincas, but I do not see how it could harm your plants, unless too much was used. I am afraid you have made too lavish use of it. If used at the rate of a 4-inch potful to a bushel of soil, it should give good results with vincas as well as geraniums, callas and other plants I might name. I have not heard of the bone breeding worms in the soil, but an excessive quantity, causing sourness of the soil, might bring about such a result. I failed to find any eggs of insects on the leaves re- ceived. With all due respect to bone and vegetable fertilizers, I think some well decayed cow or horse manure would be better for vincas. At least, I find it never fails to give us excellent plants. C. W. Scottsbluff, Neb.— William Howard has made plans for the erection this summer of a greenhouse 30x150, an ad- dition made necessary because it has been impossible to obtain sufficient stock from Denver to supply the local demand. 18 The Florists^ Review June 7, 1917.

While not grown to anything like the extent of a generation ago, there ap- pears to be some return of smilax to favor. The strings realize good prices. It hardly pays to carry plants over in beds a second year; it is far better to give the young plants a generous soil in which to grow. Planting should be done this month if you want good Thanksgiving and Christmas strings, and get strings up to the plants as soon as you possibly can after planting. Once the growths become entangled it is a thankless task to attempt to do any- thing with them. You need not grow smilax in an up-to-date house; it will thrive just as well in one of the old, heavy-timbered type in which flowers do not succeed. Asparagus Sprengeri. With bedding stock gradually getting out of the way, you probably now can find time to plant out a batch of Aspara- gus Sprengeri. In spite of all the houses growing this useful green, it never seems to be much overdone and there are few retail country florists who are fortunate enough to produce all they need. A. Sprengeri needs a strong and fairly deep soil, as it makes many fleshy, hungry roots. For this reason it suc- ceeds better in "a solid bed with a foot of soil than in a raised bench with less than half that depth, although I would not say that fine grass cannot be grown in benches. Place the plants 12x12 inches apart, and if you have no bench or bed for them use some roomy baskets, preferably of galvanized wire, and hang them from the roof of a house which is not kept too warm and shady. Lfalilias. Differences of opinion exist, and prob- ably always will, on the question of early or late planting of dahlias. My own experience has been that a late planting, sometime during the first half of June, gives far better results than an early setting out, no matter whether green plants started from cuttings or dry roots are used. Early planted dahlias may flower in July and August, but run out before the real, natural dahlia season iarrives in September. By planting late the danger of cutworm at- tacks is reduced and plants can be de- pended upon to make a quick and steady growth. They will flower profusely until frost. Geranium Stock. The bedding plant trade is extremely late this year on account of the abnor- mally cold and backward season. Some calendar writers have felt uncertain whether to class' May as a spring or sum- mer month. Tlti weather vouchsafed us in 1917 would hardly 'fit it fo^r either class, but it would qualify i-atlier T^rell for winter. It has passed, however, and June seems likely to deal more kindly with us. Tastes vary with regard to geraniums. Once upon a time scarlets filled the en- tire center of the stage; later, about the whole platform; then the pinks asserted themselves and are still much in favor. Note what color your customers call for most and be sure to reserve a liberal lot of stock plants to plant out in the fielii. If you chance to be short of the colors needed, it is better to try to buy some stock now and plant it out in the field, so that you can have a good crop of cut- tings in the fall. Adiantums. Adiantums now will be making a lux- uriant lot of fronds and will need spac- ing apart from time to time. They must have a liberal water supply and when well potbound should be given weak liquid manure once a week, in addition. The fronds while young are quite ten- der and easily scorched. Therefore see that the glass is shaded suf&ciently to prevent this. Where snails are trouble- some, dust a little air-slaked lime or fine salt between the pots and place some cabbage leaves or scooped out potatoes for them. Sowbugs sometimes are troublesome and many can be captured in the potatoes. If the greenhouses are unsuitable for fern culture in summer and you have a good coldframe, there can be no better place for maidenhair and other ferns. Dig the soil out of the frame to a suitable depth, spread a layer of fine coal ashes at the bottom and be sure the glass is well shaded. Plants may be elevated if necessary on pots or other supports. Christmas Cinerarias. There are many inquiries each year about how to have cinerarias in flower for the holidays, and in practically every case the growers have sown seed in August, or even later. It is utterly impossible to flower cinerarias in four months, but if a sowing is made now in a shallow pan or flat, and the plants are kept growing right along and not sub- jected to any checks, they can be had in flower for Christmas. They are bulky-growing plants, must have as cool treatment as possible at all times, need constant spraying or fumigation to in- sure cleanliness and a liberal soU to grow in; but when given these condi- tions there is nothing difficult'in their culture and they f (^rm a nice addition to our list of holiday plants.

The Rorists' Review 19 iHE investigations covered more or less briefly in this report were begun August 1, 1916, During the first four months much time was spent in visiting rose plant- ings in northeastern United States, making a survey of diseases. This seemed desirable in order to ac- quaint us with the various diseases, to- gether with their range and the extent of injury caused by them in this coun- try. "With these facts in mind, suitable plants and materials have been col- lected for experiments now under way which will prove of the greatest value to growers of roses. Old Diseases. The survey and correspondence with growers has shown the most important rose diseases, in order o2 importance, to be (1) black spot, (2) mildew, (3) crown gall, (4) stem canker, (5) Phyl- losticta leaf spot, (6) rust, (7) bud rot, (8) other leaf spots. Practically all of these diseases are always present and take from the growers yearly tolls of surprising magnitude. It is not uncom- mon to find houses with all the plants completely defoliated by black spot. It is unnecessary to mention the damage done by mUdew, while there is an ever- increasing demand for information re- lating to crown gall, stem canker, rust and bud rot. Unfortunately, little is known regarding the control of most of these diseases and many points remain to be investigated concerning the con- trol of such common and well-known diseases as black spot and mildew. A New Disease. A new, and what appears to be one of the most im- portant diseases of the rose, has been observed by the writer in visits to rose houses. We are calling it the crown canker. Speci- mens have been sent by growers from many parts of eastern United States and from as far west as Missouri. It was first ob- served by the writer in Sep- tember, 1916, but talks with growers indicate that the disease has been present for possibly four or five years. All varieties seem to be susceptible to the disease. The plant is attacked just below the surface of the soil and although the dis- ease advances slowly, the death of the plant is sure, with an ever-decreasing number and quality of flow- ers. This disease, which has never been described, is considered of such import- ance that a large part of the writer's time is being devoted to a study of the life history of the causal fungus and the development of a method of control. Several large growers have stated that unless help is obtained they will be forced out of business. Will Soon Be Distributed. With the disease already known to be present in the houses of ten large grow- ers, it is safe to assume that other grow- ers have plants similarly affected and that the disease will be widely distrib- uted and increase rapidly in importance. Steps must be taken immediately to control this disease. Not only is it im- portant that growers who already have the disease shall be furnished with con- trol methods, but it is even of greater importance that the method of dissem- ination of the fungus be worked out in order that the further spread of the disease be checked. What appear to be other new diseases than the one mentioned above have been brought to the writer's attention, but too little progress has yet been made in this investigation to give definite state- ments at this time. Work on Leaf Diseases. The following investigations are un- der way: (a.) Black spot. It is planned to con- duct extensive experiments for the con- trol of this disease during the coming season. Plants at the Cornell test gar- den and at the nursery of Chase Bros., Honeoye Falls, N. Y., will be treated with various fungicides along the lines of recent developments in plant disease control. One of the most important fungicides to be tried is that of finely Statement by Rose Society's Secretary Last year. In response to a letter from President Pennock, of the American Rose Society, thirty-two florists generously contributed toward the investigations in rose diseases which were carried on by Dr. L. M. Massey. of the Department of Plant Pathology, at Cornell University. Dr. Massey has put in considerable work on this problem during the last year and has several lines of investigation well under way. It is the feeling of the officers of the American Rose Society that Dr. Massey should continue his work during the coming year, as was outlined in the project of a year ago. At that time it was stated that it was expected the investigation would be on a two-year agreement, Last year the American Rose Society pledged itself to support Dr. Massey while in the fleld one-fourth of the time, and that the co8t would not exceed $1,000, of which sum $300 the first year and $250 the second year would be for traveling and other special expenses. The rest of the expenses of the investigation have been borne by Cornell University. Dr. Massey carries on the major part of the outside work during his vacation periods, when he is free from college duties, and can visit commercial ranges. Laboratory research is carried on during the college year. On this page there appears a summary of a preliminary report of Dr. Massey's work. It will be understood from the natut« of the project that definite results cannot be given In so short a time. It seems, however, that Dr. Massey's work during the last year has opened up some wonderfully valuable lines of investigation, which should be continued. It is hoped that a large number of men interested in rose growing, who did not contribute to the work last year, may feel interested to do their part this year. All subscriptions should be sent to £.

Experiments for the control of mildew through the use of finely ground sulphur used as a dust on both indoor and outdoor roses. (c.) Phyllosticta leaf spot. A study of the life history of the causal organ- ism is now being made.

Some 200 healthy plants have been obtained to be inocu- lated with bacteria causing this dis- ease. These plants will be grown to de- termine the effect of the disease upon the plant, there being a divergence of opinion as to just how much damage is done. (e.) The new root or crown disease, crown canker. Extensive experiments for the control of this disease are now under way. It is probable that the fun- gus lives in the soil and that successful treatments will be along the line of soil sterilization and the practice of sanita- tion in the houses. Some 300 rose plants have been obtained and are now grow- ing in the greenhouses at Cornell for these experiments. Much time is being spent in working out the life history of the causal organism, as such informa- tion is essential for a comprehensive study of control methods, (f,) Fungi and bacteria causing other diseases of roses are being studied in culture. These organisms have been isolated from diseased material obtained from growers. Their patho- genicity will be tested and control experiments c o n - ducted where the organisms prove parasitic and the im- portance of the disease war- rants such action. Can't Stop Now. It will be seen from the above statements that while there is but little yet to re- port in the line of results in control, still considerable progress has been made and the foundation laid for ex- periments for the control of diseases which are of ex- treme importance to the growers of roses. There is every reason to expect that another year's work will bring results upon which proved and definite advice may be furnished the grow- ers for the solution of their rose-disease problems. 1 1 is hardly necessary to add 18 1 he rlorists Review June 7, 1917.

A large cemetery trade will consume the usual quantity of stock. Charles H.

The Eeview brings results. It is easier to soil -well-grovvn stock at good prices than it is to sell carelessly grown stock at low prices. The average size of retail sales in this trade may not increase continuously, but the number of sales will not fail to in- crease annually. Goldfish have become a standard side line in flower stores; hundreds of florists find them profitable, but there is a scarcity of stock this year, especially of imported fishes. The advice to save coal, which the public is receiving from all sides, may be needed by some, but surely not by any florist who finds nobody to take an order for next season. The cool weather of May has been of great advantage to most crops; although little growth has been apparent, the plants have been making root and have an exceptional foundation for rapid growth now that warm rains have fallen. A MODERATE charge for packing in a few months has become so general as to be trade custom in this country, as it long has been in Europe. Nobody objected ; if a shipper charges for packing he must pack Avell, and really good packing is worth paying for. Most buyers know it. Perhaps there is no better indication of general conditions throughout the country, or stronger assurance of the continued prosperity of florists, than is found in the fact tliat the sales of Chi- cago 's largest mail order merchant for Mriv increased 36.67 per cent, from $10,- .m;S,S1»7 in 1916 to $14,854,843 in 1917. SUPERLATIVE SERVICE. When we grow enthusiastic it is most human to use the superlatives in our language to describe our feelings. Many of the letters that come to The Eeview from its advertisers contain such words as "wonderful" and "perfection" to describe what a small ad has accom- plished. Consequently, the service The Eeview renders its advertisers may be termed "superlative service." Here are letters from two advertis- ers who are enthusiastic over what The Eeview advertising columns have done for them: If our ad on tuberose bulbs is still running In your magazine, please discontinue, as we are about sold out of the bulbs. We have done a WONDERFUL business through this ad.— Satex Seed Co., A. Grimm, manager, San Antonio, Tex., May 22, 1917. Please discontinue my pansy ad. It has done the business to PERFECTION.— Henry Swaby, St. Charles, HI., May 28. 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 Eeview. "THE SAME OLD PRICES." A florist who had a large Memorial day business sends The Eeview copies of newspaper advertisements that are credited with producing the orders, evi- dently with the idea that The Eeview will approve. But one of the advertise- ments is headed "Plants at the Same Old Prices — 5c Up." It may be pos- sible, in these days of 6-dollar coal and other high costs, to produce a plant to sell for a nickel, but if the customer gets a satisfactory article it is a mys- tery how the florist can make any money. It is the opinion of The Ee- view that a florist who advertises ' ' Plants at the Same Old Prices ' ' either doesn't make good with good plants when the customer comes, or goes into the hole in doing it. It may be that, where a florist does most of his own work, or gets his wife and children to do it, in a country town where the need of cash for living expenses is at a minimum, he can get by on plants at "5c up," but the florist who does busi- ness on business principles needs more than "the same old prices" this year and he will need better prices still more badly next year — if lie is still in busi- ness. THE PROMISE OF JUNE. Memorial day business, correspond- ents of The Eeview report, equaled and in many cities exceeded that of last year. These reports, in the face of un- seasonable weather, show that business is good in all sections of the country. Eain or cold with dark skies was the weather report from practically all the large cities. This, of course, cut down the Memorial day sales. But from no- where comes the news that Memorial day business fell below normal. Another healthy sign for the trade is contained in the news reports. That is tliat there are many advance orders for June wedding decorations. Some cities report that an extra amount of this class of business has been booked by the florists, who are said to be opti- mistic over the outlook for the month. In some quarters it was expected that Memorial day would see the finish of good business for the season; that be- cause of conditions June weddirtg work would not come up to the average of other years. Eeports seem to point to the opposite condition — that business during June will be better than a year ago. Eetailers say that prices this spring have not affected business to any appre- ciable extent. People are used to pay- ing high prices for everything they buy. When they want flowers a few cents more or less does not militate against the sale. The lesson to be drawn from this fact is that the retailer who cuts prices in the belief that people will not pay a fair price, and that he must do so to make sales, is losing the profit to which he is entitled. June, with its weddings and the bed- ding plant trade which has been held back because of the lateness of the sea- son, promises well for the trade. It appears certain to be another big month to add to the largest season the trade ever has experienced. WEATHER, NOT WAR. There has been a stalemate in the bedding plant business in many parts of the country and a large number of growers are on the anxious seat, in fear that they will not be able to clear their stock. The trouble has been with the weather; the slow sale has not been due to the war. On the whole, spring, in a trade sense, is decidedly backward this year; the season has been two or three weeks late, and the demand for bedding plants had little more than started at Me- morial day, at which date the decline usually begins. In cases where bed- ding was done at the usual date, irre- spective of weather conditions, much loss has been caused by late frosts. In those parts of the country in which spring definitely arrived in May, bedding plants have been selling brisk- ly; war seems to have had no effect unless it is a beneficial one. While there seems every reason to suppose the usual, or even an unusual, amount of bedding eventually wiU be (lone as soon as the bulbous flowers fade and warm weather comes to stay, still a late season usually is a short season and a short season seldom is a record season. So any grower who is getting nervous would better sell his surplus while he can — there are dozens of buyers this minute reading the Classified ads. CHICAGO. The Market. A retrospect of Memorial day busi- ness in the wholesale cut flower market is not unpleasant. In nearly every in- stance the final figures show a splendid increase over last year in the business done. This increase, large as it was, would have been still larger had it not been for the fact that Memorial day it- self was a rainy, unpleasant day; which killed off almost all buying. The bad weather May 30, of course, had its greatest effect on the retailers. Although reports from all quarters of the city indicate that retail business was at least fair, there is to be dis- cerned a note of disappointment at the unfavorable weather, which was the cause of striking off some large profits which would liave accrued had the weather been more favorable. The special feature of the Memorial June 7, 1917. The Florists^ Review 23 Here You Will Find a Fine Crop of Beauties |ROBABLY you realize that Beauties are becom- ing scarcer every day — growers throwing them out and planting something else. But the Amling supply has not diminished — we shall have the cut from more plants than ever next season and right now one of our growers has a heavy crop. When all is said and done, the public would rather buy Beauties than any other kind of flower, especially for presentation purposes. If you are an Amling customer you need never be without Beauties. v RUSSELLS AND ROSES Note the reduced prices. While the large supply of other flowers lasts, the retailer can buy roses on advantageous terms. There are no better roses than Amling's rosesj-iiow or any other time.

The backward sea- son was the reason for the small quan- tity in storage, for the light receipts of freshly cut peonies from growers nearer liome and for an increased demand from the trade in parts of the country where the peony usually is in bloom May 30. Not only did peonies clean up at tlie best average prices seen in many years, but it was impossible to fill all orders. Of course all other stock was benefited by the shortage of peonies. There were adequate supplies of carnations and roses, but these sold well at excellent prices until the shipping orders were out, May 29. Late arrivals that day had to be held over to May 30, and the heavy receipts of stock that morning proved to be much more than the busi- ness of the day required, although bright weather probably would have cleared everything. As it was, peonies were the only flowers that cleared; there were large quantities of carna- tions and roses in the iceboxes when the wholesale houses closed at noon. Since the holiday there has been no recovery from tlie slump. Stock, with certain exceptions, is plentiful, and the quality on the whole none too good. City trade has fallen off, and shipping business is not large enough to make mucli of an imj)ression on tlie large :,'uantities of flowers on the market. There are not many American Beauties, but other varieties of roses are in jdentiful supply, although for the most part they are small and soft. Carnations also are in large supply, but are difficult to move at even the low price wholesalers are willing to accept. The quality, as in the case of roses, leaves room for improvement. Valley, eitlier indoor or outdoor, is a scarce item and difficult to obtain. Lilies and callas are in small supply, but no great call for them exists. Orchids also are exceedingly scarce and are at times almost impossible to buy.

An unusually diflicult Aveck to do- scribe closed June li, a week in which there was a wide range ot" opinions among those best able to judge the market. The fact that stood out most clearly was that peonies were late. The local crop completely missed Memorial day, so that greenhouse-grown flowers furnished the supply almost entirely. The demand was hardly equal to expec- tations, taken all together. Still, busi- ness was fair. Greenhouse-grown flow- ers benefited both by the absence" of peonies and by the cool nights that pre- vailed througliout May. The supply of carnations for Memo- rial day was unexpectedly heavy. Nearly three-quarters of the carnations were White. Of this color there was an oversupply. Prices were from $4 to $5 per hundred, with a few higher. Prices declined May 31 to $3 per hun- dred, which has been high since. There were many unfilled orders for peonies to go out of town." Most of these orders admitted of no substitu- tion. In spite of this fact, the general opinion is that the volume of business was only slightly impaired by the ab- sence of peonies, as staples brought bet- ter prices than they would have done had peonies been in crop. The shipping orders before Memorial day were excellent, but the local de- mand May 29 was marred by the rain. May 30, though an ideal day, was thor- oughly disappointing. However, May 31, June 1 and June 2 brought an un- expected improvement that cleared the market at lower prices. June 4 brought the first local peonies. The receipts in- creased on the following days. So far they are selling fairly well, thanks to low prices asked, $4 to $6 per hundred, with a few higher and a few lower. The indications are that the height of the crop will be here soon.

Pennock cele- brated the fiftieth anniversary of their wedding at their home in Lansdowne, Tuesday, June .j. Mr. Pennock is prob- ably the oldest florist in this country. A man who has made his mark in the world, ho is respected by all who know him. Mr. Pennock built greenhouses at Lansdowne in 1861, the first year of the Civil war. Just think of it, ye doubters! Five years later, with his brother, J. L. Pennock, he opened a retail store on Twelfth street, above Chestnut street, in Philadelphia. This makes the firm of Pennock Bros. 51 years old this spring. The firm moved ten years later, in 1876, to its present quarters at 1514 Chestnut street. The greenhouses in Lansdowne were carried on for many years by Mr. Pennock 's son, the late Aldrich J. Pennock, who was well known as the valley king. They are now operated by B. Schilders. Among the sons and daughters present JONB 7, 1917.

Mr. Grakelow says that Phila- delphia is not strong on Memorial day observance. The out-of-town orders from up the state and from New Eng- land counted. Berger Bros, have some wonderful frame-grown calla lilies that are an inspiration. M. J. Callahan is having a busy week, a little of everything. Belated orders for planting out gardens and porch boxes, weddings, commencements, par- ties, combine toward this happy result. B. Eschner and Mrs. Eschner have the deep sympathy of their many friends in the sadness that has come to them this spring, a double blow. John P. Habermehl is well and fit agiin. Mr. Habermehl says business will be all right next season. Paul Berkowitz has returned from a good business trip. The plant situation is summed up this way at the Henry F. Michell Co. estab- lishment: "Poor on annuals, good on perennials, wonderful on vegetables." George Aeugle is receiving heavy cuts of fine frame-grown Spencer peas at the Philadelphia Cut Flower Co. store. The Robert Craig Co. expects an ex- cellent month on plants, judging from the first week's demand. H. Bayersdorfer & Co. have com- menced work on removing partitions be- tween 1129 and 1131 Arch street, on all the floors. The firm also uses two other buildings as workshop and warehouse. The arrival of Kaiserin Augusta Vic- toria is announced at Edward Eeid's. Phil. NEW YORK. The Market. Memorial day was widely observed in every city outside of New York. Here the cemetery florists did the bulk of the business, as usual. In the city itself there was no noticeable increase in business, the great parades apparently absorbing all the interest in the day. The wholesale cut flower market felt the effect of this diversion and the volume of business hardly exceeded that of an ordinary Saturday, After a dull week a good Saturday was expected and realized.

Prima Donna is proving a good summer rose. Of the other offerings, Ophelia, Sunburst, Double White Killarney and the specialties all bring good prices. None of the low-grade stock was offered June 2 under $10 per thousand and for the selected No. 2 grade many were sold at double that quotation. Carnations are easily holding their ex- cellent average. Tlowers of the first class were not selling under $4 per hundred Saturday. Others ranged down to $2 per hundred. There was no sur- plus. If there is any oversupply in the market, it is in longiflorum lilies, on which prices have fallen to $6 per hun- dred for the fine, long-stemmed flowers, and from that down to $3 per hundred for the short-stemmed.

The best cattleyas were selling at 40 cents each Saturday. They were selected gigas. Lilacs are over and will be out of the market by the end of the present week. But the peonies slip into the breach and there is an abundance of them. The supply has been coming from the south, but this week will see the local stock in the market.

Although the two days preceding Memorial day were cold and stormy, the holiday itself brought warm weather and the stores all were busy. Business for the day compared favorably with that of other years. Stock was plenti- ful, but there was a scarcity of most of the outdoor flowers that are usually in the market for Memorial day. Few peonies and fewer lilacs were seen, while there were no hardy blue irises. The latter have since come into the market, but no special demand is no- ticed. A good supply of the cheaper vari- eties of flowers were in and included some fine pink and white stocks, white marguerites and outdoor valley.

Nearly 15,000 plants, principally gera- niums, the gifts of the school children of the city, were used to decorate the graves of war veterans Memorial day. On account of the backward season, the peony show to be held at Convention hall has' been postponed until June 28 to 30. The proceeds, after all expenses are paid, will be given to the Ked Cross fund. Edwin C.

Jacob Thoman & Sons have been busy lately with a great number of bedding orders. The weather has interfered with the work considerably. Reports from the uptown florists show an unusual number of wedding orders for the first part of June. Graduations also will help make June a busy month. The seed trade continues to be rushed.

Tlio Florists' Hail Association is to be asked to broaden its charter and es- tablisli a department for florists' mu- tual insurance against wind storms, but if the Hail Association declines to make so radical a change in its activities, a special mutual cyclone insurance asso- ciation along the lines of the Florists' Hail Association will be undertaken. It was so decided at the meeting of the State Florists' Association of Indiana, at Iiidi.'inajxilis June 1. This decision came after the commit- tee on cyclone insurance had made its report and had offered a constitution and set of by-laws for the proposed new association. After a discussion of the 8ub,icct, it was decided to first proi)ose to the Florists' Hail Association that it accept tlie ]dan for cyclone insurance and in case the suggestion was turned down the committee should continue its work of organizing a mutual cyclone in- surance association. A report of the proposal to the Hail Association will be made by the com- mittee at the next meeting of the In- dian/i association, to be held July 10. Favor W. J. Vesey's Plan.

President Bcrtermann sj)oke in favor of the movement and said he believed ilorists should receive better prices for their stock in view of the fact that costs have risen and other trades have taken similar action. Anders Rasmussen expressed the opin- ion that little good, along some lines, would come from such a meeting. He declared there always would be glut sea- sons when prices would suffer, no matter liow much the growers were encouraged to sell only the cream and hold back the balance of stock. Mr. Rasmussen believed, however, that along other lines such a meeting as is proposed could accomplish much for florists. Henry Rodenbeck disagreed with Mr. Rasmussen and asserted that there would always be a few florists who would never appreciate the fact that by BETTER BOXES We manufacture only quality boxes for th« hishest class trade.

Baur declared that thib meet- ing was of vital importance and urged that all who could should attend the Chi- cago conference. Tennis Elder said that nerve is what is lacking. He declared that florists should ask higher prices and stick to them. Of course, quality is necessary to bring about this condition, he said, but if better stock is grown it will merit and get better prices. F. Ij. Morris, of Bloomington, de- Junk 7, 1917.

They were all right until the middle of March, when they became yellow, and now the flowers are small and shriveled. The soil consisted of one- fourth cow manure, a little bone meal and some sand. I syringe the plants daily with the hose, and the foliage has become black, as if it were burned. The glass is shaded. Can you tell me what to do with them? W. H. W.— Cal. Without knowing something more of your cultural conditions, I would not like to hazard an opinion as to the cause of your hydrangeas doing so poorly. French hydrangeas, if well ripened, stand forcing well. Such soil as you gave them should have proved suitable. These plants love a generous soil, need plenty of water, and when well rooted they enjoy applications of liquid manure until the flower heads show color.

The polyanthus flowers indoors in a cool greenhouse from the middle of Feb- ruary until the end of April, The flow- ers are specially good during March and April. Outdoors they floTver, during May and June. They may be had in many colors, but yellow sells best; next to that, white. They are easily grown either from seed or by division. During summer they should be planted out in the field. This should be done as early in May as possible. William Sim, a large and successful grower of polyanthus, sliades his plants from the hot sun by means of cheese- cloth. The plants should be lifted and stored in coldframes if special places are not ready for them at the lifting time. They do best in solid beds of deep, well manured soil, and enjoy a violet temperature. If seed is sown in January or February, strong plants may be had to flower the following season. Divisions secured at once will also give good results. These flowers sell well in the eastern wholesale markets. C. W.

[Continued from page 27.1 business at its new store at 174 North Wabash avenue, although the move, which has been progressing slowly for some time, has not as yet been fully completed. At Peterson Nursery the irises usually are a glorious sight early in June, but this year the season is at least a fort- night late, and William A. Peterson says frost has destroyed a large percentage of the buds. Mrs. N. J. Wietor has been seriously ill for a week. Although still confined to her bed, she is recovering rapidly. The work of enlarging the cut flower department of the A. L. Eandall Co. is in full swing and the additional facili- ties will soon be in use. Memorial day business broke all previous records with O. A. & L. A. Tonner, according to Miss O. A. Tonner, sales being even larger than for Moth- ers' day, which was the firm's record diiy until last week. That it pays to get orders out on time was proved in another way by the Geo. Wittbold Co., May 29. All orders on hand were out that evening and thus many cancellations were avoided, which would otherwise have been a certainty because of the rainy weather of Me- morial day. Frank J. Rioux, of the A. L. Randall Co., has landed a war baby, having closed a contract with the government for a large refrigerator to be erected in the Canteen building, United States Naval Training Station, Great Lakes, 111. The company is also building a refrigerator for the retail store of Anton Then. Paul Dressel, an employee of the American Bulb Co., has been accepted for service in the navy.

On account of the abnormally late sea- son, no outdoor flowers, such as valley, lilacs, deutzias, etc., wore available, and there was only a limited number of Dar- win tulips. There was, however, a heavy cut of greenhouse stock, in spite of the fact that many growers failed to get their crops of stocks, spiraeas, feverfew, etc., in on time.

This stock realized but poor prices and harmed the market. Roses were abundant and sold toler- ably well at from $2 to $3 per hundred for short-stemmed blooms and $6 to $10 for the better grades. The call was chiefly for the short and medium grades. Carnations sold well, especially the col- ored ones, at $5 to $6. A few fancies realized $8. Colored snapdragons sold well; the white ones not at all. The small types of gladioli, Spanish irises, yellow marguerites and bachelor's but- tons were in good demand, as were col- ored stocks, some specially fine spikes realizing $12 per hundred. Lilies sold poorly, as did valley. Narcissus Barrii conspicuus was hard to sell, but poeticus went better. Darwin tulips made $40 to $60 per thousand. A good many early tulips also appeared. Bunches of feverfew, gypsophilas, candytuft, etc., had a good sale. Sweet peas made from 50 cents to $1.50 per hundred. Asparagus plumosus and smilax sold well. There were enough flowers for everyone and some surplus. Since Memorial day business has taken quite a drop and prices are con- siderably lower. On account of the continued dark weather, a real glut has not yet developed. Roses sell mostly at from $1 to $6; white carnations vary from $1.50 to $3; sweet peas make from 25 cents to 75 cents, with a few selects realizing $1. There is an oversupply of Spanish irises, snapdragons and gladioli. Quantities of laggard Memorial day flowers are seen, but there is little call . . .

Lilies continue druggy. Dar- win tulips are now abundant, with only a feeble demand. A little local lilac now is obtainable, but there is little call for it. Various Notes. Peun's Memorial day business netted thirty-three and one-third per cent more money than that of last year, with less expense. Both artificial wreaths and fresh flowers sold well. Mr. and Mrs. Henry Penn left June 1 for a 10-day trip with the Pilgrim Publicity Asso- ciation. Penn's had a Chinese wedding decoration at the Somerset June 2. The groom was a graduate of the Massachu- setts Institute of Technology and of Harvard, and the bride a graduate of Wellesley College. Boston's big outdoor flower show, which opened June 1, is the chief horti- cultural event of the year. In spite of the busy season and the unusual polit- ical conditions, it is being well patron- ized, quite a number of people from a distance attending. The exhibition will continue for at least a fortnight and the display will be much finer as the show progresses, with new features added each day. I doubt whether any other city in the country has ever staged a more imposing non-competitive open-air flower show. Mann Bros, had 1,000 bunches of fe- verfew for Memorial day and a fine lot of lilies, early and late tulips, irises, gladioli and snapdragons. They grow much lilac in their fields, but not one bunch was available this year. The "Welch Bros. Co. is receiving, among other flowers, a fine lot of Ice- land poppies, annual larkspurs.

Shipping orders were numer- ous. Roses, carnations and sweet peas were the best sellers. Patrick Welch says his Memorial day trade exceeded that of 1916. Roses, carnations, sweet peas, colored stock, spiraeas and gladioli sold well, while snapdragons, valley, lilies, white stock and short trumpet narcissi went slowly. Thomas Roland has been receiving more roses of late than any other local grower. He had a heavy Memorial day cut. June 2 he had 12,000 and cleaned them up easily. His rose garden at the outdoor show is a magnificent one. C. T. Beasley & Co., of East Milton, the leading pansy specialists, state that sales were double those of a year ago. They had several thousand Darwin tu- lips, planted on a warm, sunny slope, that flowered on time. These realized $60 per thousand. F. J. Dolansky has received a large shipment of phala?nopsis from the Phil- ippines in excellent condition, and also a number of rare orchids from England. At present he has a fine lot of Cattleyas Mossiae and gigas, miltonias and odonto- glossums. Mrs. Winthrop Chanler, of New York, June 2 gave a splendid illustrated lec- ture on "Alpine Plants and Rock Gar- dens" at Horticultural hall, before an appreciative audience. The display of ornamental mains at the Arnold Arboretum was at its best June 5. The lilacs promise to be in good condition by June 10.

Indications are, how- over, that in a few days there will be a superabundance of everything. A few bright, warm days will bring in larger quantities of peonies, candytuft and feverfew, which are about two weeks late. A few peonies have already made their appearance, along with a few out- door Spanish irises. The market is flushed with Easter lilies, but callas are comparatively at an end. A limited supply of gladioli of superior quality is available. These include America, Peace and Francis King, which bring $1 and $1.50 per dozen. Snapdragons have become scarce.

They are gratifying because of their good quality at this time of year. ^ Planting out and June weddings are the features of the day, and betvpeen the two all hands are kept busy. The wed- dings bring into play valley and orchids, though daisies and roses are also in pop- ular favor for these occasions. Various Notes. The A. Wiegand's Sons Co. reports that bedding out work has greatly in- creased in volume, despite the fact that prices have been increased. Lester F. Benson has had big demand for his vegetable plants. The greenhouses of M. A. Barrick, at Seymour, were badly damaged by the recent hail storm. L. Elder has returned from New Albany. G. Bookedis, John Grande and E. Temperley recently toured to Chicago. Mrs. Reynolds and John Chisholm have been busy with a large wedding at Terre Haute. There has been much talk about clos- ing the flower stores Sundays and at 6 o'clock during the week, except on Sat- urdays, when 9 o 'clock is the proposed closing hour. As yet, however, nothing definite has been done. The Indianapolis Flower & Plant Co. reports a rushing business. On account of the late season, everybody is anxious to have his outdoor work done immedi- ately. A. F. J. Baur and family are taking a short vacation at Richmond, going there by motor. It is the belief of the retailers that when the streets are filled with soldiers, business has a tendency to increase. There are 50,000 men at Fort Harrison who have money and want to spend it. E. E. T. FORT WAYNE, IND. Memorial Day Trade. Tlie Memorial day trade was excep- tionally good this year and the majority of florists, both wholesale and retail, re- port an increase over the business of last year. This is attributed partly to the advertising campaign of the Fort Wayne Florists' Club and the retail firms. There was a great shortage in the supply of cut flowers and many more could have been sold had they been ob- tainable. Practically all the business for Memorial day was done the two days before the holiday and the florists' forces were rushed handling the great volume of trade. Pfeonies never were so scarce for Me- morial day as they were this year. There were no home-grown peonies on the market and the shipped stock was difficult to obtain in large quantities. Carnations, which were in good supply, were sold out in many of the stores and more were not obtainable. The supply SEATTLE, WASH.

Bouquets of mixed flowers for cemetery purposes and magnolia wreaths had a large de- mand. The supply of gladioli was good and the demand equal to the supply. Li- lacs were scarce, as the home-grown flowers were about gone. Sweet peas rtere abundant and the demand was good. The majority of florists report a good sale of bedding plants for Memo- rial day. Trade since Memorial day has been lively, as the weather warmed up con- siderably. The demand for bedding ])lants has received quite an impetus. June weddings also have been demand- ing a large number of flowers and there has been considerable funeral work. There is a fine supply of all kinds of seasonable flowers on the market, Easter lilies being especially abundant. Tliere is a large supply of Shawyer and Sunburst roses and also some fine, lo- cal-grown Cattleya gigas. Greens are aljout equal to the demand. Various Notes. •Judge W. J. Vesey, accompanied by his daughter, Miss Catherine X^'esey, left last week on a business trip to New York city. Judge Vesey will be gone a week or ten days, but Miss Vesey will remain several weeks, the guest of friends. F. G.

John Doswell will give a talk on land- scape gardening. A large attendance is desired, as this is the last meeting be- fore September. The Flick Floral Co. reports a good Memorial day business. Magnolia wreaths and mixed bouquets sold well. This company advertised in the daily l)apers for Memorial day. Miss Clara Belle Flick and Miss Helen F. Patten, of Toledo, O., are in the city to attend the wedding of their niece, Miss Mildred Flick. The Doswell Floral Co. was completely sold out for Memorial day in both cut flowers and blooming plants. June weddings are the order of the day at the A. J.

Leonard, of the Leonard Seed Co., Chicago, is home from a brief visit to the woods of northern Wisconsin. It is said that a large percentage of the onion set crops at Chicago already has been sold into second, third and fourth hands. It looks as though the war will result in valley pips commanding unusual prices for several years after the return of peace. It is reported that one Chicago opera- tor in onion sets, a man not often heard of by the trade in general, cleaned up $100,000 in the last season. The opinion seems to be spreading that seed supplies for 1918, as a whole, will be far shorter than they were this season. Only an unusually good crop can relieve the condition. The acreage of onion sets at Chicago is thought to considerably exceed that of 1916, and the condition of the crops at the beginning of June was decidedly better than a year ago, but the market is firm. The Page-Clark Seed & Nursery Co., of Billings, Mont., has been reorganized to carry on a larger business, the newly elected officers being H. H. Hortman, J. W. Shea and R. C. Dillavou. The com- pany this year has bean seed contracts covering 4,500 acres. It is stated that the British govern- ment has given instructions that steamer space be provided at New York for con- signments of vegetable seeds needed in England. Heretofore seeds have had to take their chance at the limited space available for general merchandise. Representatives of Holland houses still in this country are hearing from home to the effect that shipping bulb and nursery stock to the United States again has been made possible by an arrange- ment between the governments of Great Britain and Holland. This confirms simi- lar news emanating from "Washington, printed in The Review several weeks ago. "We visited every seed store in the city last week," says a correspondent at Nashville, Tenn., "in search of some standard varieties of beans, and also of cow peas, without finding a single seed. We did not find a soy bean of any variety in the entire round. In general, we have never seen the stocks of seeds of all kinds so low in this city as they are today. The question is, where are the seeds to come from for next season's business t" Braslan Grower for the Wholesale Trade Only.

' ' Denmark has assumed a leading position in seed cultivation and its seeds are in demand throughout the world," says Consul General E. D. Winslow. ' ' The soil, favorably affected by the insular climate, adapts this country for the production of well-de- veloped and hardy strains, especially of cabbages (brassicas) and cruciform varieties of plants. The northern climate, producing a slower growth than in southern latitudes, enables plants to attain their full and natural development. By rational modern cul- ture Danish seed growers have pro- duced seeds with such conspicuous qual- ities that the markets of the world have long been opened to them." THE SOUBOE OF SEED SX7PPLY. In discussing the disrupted condition of the regular channels of trade in the seed business, a British writer says: "While America has been importing seeds from all the allied countries as well as from Germany in the past, not niuiiuuiBiuiiuaiiiiiHiainniiininuMuuifflu Order Seed Packets NOW FOR 1918 I Paper scarce.

Like many seedsmen in this country and in our colonies, they were led to believe Germany was the source of seed supply instead of being largely a mere store or intermediary. Take the sugar beet supply. The American beet growers were in a funk when the war started, because they thought no seed would get through from Germany. But in a short time they discov- ered that Eussia had, all along, been growing the seed which Germany had sold, and according to the last report, the Americans had succeeded in import- ing something like 20,000,000 pounds of sugar beet seed from Eussia, and you may bet your bottom dollar that ithe Americans will not bother about Germany in future." DISPOSITION OF CENSORED MAIL. Since the outbreak of the war the volume of mail both ways between Germany and the United States has steadily decreased in volume, but it has not stopped. While direct mail communication has been interdicted, Germans are posting mail in Scandi- navia and Holland and are receiving correspondence from this country through an addressee in a neutral coun- try. Almost from the beginning of hos- tifities the British censor has examined all European mail from and for the United States. Communications that were of no value have been forwarded to and from Germany, even since the United States entered the war, but any- thing of value to Germany has been held up. Inquiry as to the disposition made of this intercepted commercial mail brings the information that none of it has been destroyed. The British censor has stored away thousands upon thousands of sacks of it, to be held until the close of the war. In the mass of parcel post mail for the United States are large numbers of small lots of flower seeds that were stopped by the censor for the reason that they would assist in establishing German credit in the United States. In the letters mailed from America are large numbers of orders and remittances that have never been permitted to reach the German ad- dressees. All remittances are contra- band, but where in the form of drafts payable to order they have been with- out value in a prize court. CLOVER FOE WET PLACES. The possibility that a continuance of the war may affect the supplies of con- centrates for stock feed makes it wise at the present time to consider growing feeds rich in proteins. Of such feeds the U. S. Department of Agriculture calls attention to alsike clover as a plant for low, wet places. Analyses show that alsike clover hay is slightly richer in protein than red clover, and the hay is fine and well liked by stock. For dairy cattle, especially, it is an excel- lent feed, and a ration of alsike hay could partly replace a ration of silage and concentrates where these have been used, making a saving in concentrates. The department especially calls atten- tion to the wet bottoms that are often waste or weed-overgrown lands. Alsike clover thrives in such places. MOTT-LY GLEANINGS. Eamsey & Son, of Auburn, N.

The St. Louis market last week was in splendid condition and members of the trade were satisfied with the busi- ness done. Despite the rain Memorial day, which marred business somewhat, there was a big demand May 28 and 29. The wholesalers did a large shipping business for Memorial day and the re- tailers report that business was ex- cellent. There was a good supply of stock for the holiday and it cleared well at reasdn- able prices. The supply the last part of the week was large and the demand small. Consequently prices dropped. Excellent roses, Ophelia, Eussell and Sunburst, especially, are coming in daily and low prices prevail in all grades. The supply of all grades and varieties of carnations is heavy and the average price has dropped to around $2 per hundred. Peonies are crowding the market. The best sell for $5 per hundred. Sweet peas again are in heavy supply. Some fine America and Mrs. Francis King gladioli are coming in and clear daily. Valley is of good quality, but there is not enough in the market to supply the demand. The supply of cape jasmine from Texas is large and the price is low. Easter lilies are plentiful at $8 per hundred. Huckleberry, which has taken the place of wild smilax, is in great de- mand for decorative purposes and is in good supply. All other greens also are in demand. Various Notes. As provided in the will of the late Henry Shaw, founder of the Missouri Botanical Garden, the annual sermon on flowers was preached May 13 at Christ's church. Plants from the garden were used to decorate the church. Edwin Denker, of St. Charles, Mo., who was in St. Louis last week buying supplies, said orders for Memorial day were heavy this year.

New Early-flowering or Winter- blooming Giant Pansies An entirely new and distinct strain of Pansies. The main ad- vantage of these new Pansies over all hitherto existing Pansies is the extreme earliness of flowering and the unusual hardiness, which enables them to withstand quite severe winters, and to bloom right on into the summer. Sown at the same time as other Pansies, they begin flowering the early part of March, or as soon as the snow is off the ground, many times having four or five large flowers to a plant, when all other Pansies are only showing buds. The flowers are large, well formed and fragrant. They are highly recommended for autumn planting and for very early bedding, as well as for early cut flowers. 14. WINTER SUN.

Sales for Memorial day were most encouraging, but it was evident that it" the weather had been pleasant twice as much stock could have been sold, provid- ing it were available. As it was, nearly everyone sold out, and where it was possible pans of geraniums and other made-up stock were moved. The long spell of dark weather held back all but a few of the peonies, those that did make the day bringing high prices. A comparatively large quantity of roses and carnations was disposed of, with the roses leading. Higher prices were obtained for these than during the same period of any previous year. Cape jas- mines of supreme quality sold rapidly, at good prices. There were fair quan- tities of Spanish irises, baby gladioli, Easter lilies and callas. The reports indicate that compara- tively few bedding plants were sold, as it was too wet to set them out; but blooming pot plants met with a satis- factory sale. As a whole, the day's business surpassed that of last year. Various Notes. Out-of-town shipments for Memorial day business at the Arthur Newell es- tablishment greatly exceeded last year's total for the holiday. Mr. Newell is erecting a residence out in the Morn- ingside drive addition, at a cost of $9,500. Samuel Murray smilingly reports that he has nary a kick to register in the matter of Memorial day business. A splendid business was done by the G. M. Kellogg Flower & Plant Co., the salesmen disposing of everything on hand. The company's supply of cut flowers was large, with the exception of peonies, of which there were only about Uncle Si sez: If we spent more time appreciating than com- plaining, we'd all be a heap happier.

The Market. A combination of circumstances led to a shortage of some lines of stock this week. The demand from out of town was unprecedented, and there is no questioning the fact that the territory served by Los Angeles is every year be- coming larger and better developed. Small towns that a few years ago were hardly on the map now are supporting a flower store or two, and people who formerly had all they could do to scrape a living now are looking for the luxur- ies of life. The excellent stock shipped by the wholesalers of late years has greatly helped to make flowers popular and possible in the desert towns. At any rate, whatever the cause, the re- sult is here, and a most satisfactory re- sult it is. The scarcest article in the market was indoor-grown carnations, and order after order for these had to be turned down. Fortunately, the field crop was fine and in many cases could be substituted at a far lower price, which gave the re- tailers a chance for better profits. Roses, while not so good as those a few weeks ago, are in fair condition and there were about enough to go around. Many more gladioli could have been sold had they been on hand, but the cool weather has held this stock back. America, Panama and Mrs. Francis King are the headliners. Orchids and valley are both on the short side, and Cecile Brunner roses are poor. Sweet peas are arriving satisfac- torily, the newer Spencer types being particularly attractive and good. A remarkably good line of purple statice is in and sells freely. There is little demand for plants at this time, or the fine hydrangeas now being shown would meet with more favor. Greens are plentiful and of good quality. Various Notes. At an executive committee meeting hurriedly called by President Taylor of the Los Angeles County Horticultural Society for May 29, a most remarkable condition was brought up. Place of next meeting, speakers, etc., had been arranged, but a member who holds no office whatever had given orders for notices to be printed, containing state- ments to the press altogether diiferent from the society's arrangements. Natur- ally, President Taylor decided to ignore these, and instructions were given to the secretary to give correct data to the press and have corrections printed. Henry Kuntz, long known in horti- cultural circles in this city, has returned here from Arizona. He is speaking of an eastern trip. Fred Hills, of Hills' Nursery, pre- sented Mrs. Hills with a fine birthday present recently, in the form of a new automobile. With their usual good nature, the couple are taking their friends out for rides around the coun- try. Mr. Hills reports the biggest year's business he has ever had and says that it probably will be necessary to build another greenhouse this year. to take care of the increasing trade in ferns alone. J. Eolleri, of the California Cut Flower Co., reports a bigger and better shipping business than ever before for Memorial day. Frank Nelson, of this firm, was called east by wire to see his mother, who was seriously ill in Chi- cago. This doubtless interfered with his plans for a vacation trip. Harry Hansen, formerly of this city, and B. W. Perks, more recently of Berkeley, have joined the staff here. The cashier's funds at the S. Murata & Co. place will be seriously depleted to pay the month's electric light bill. The staff has had to get down extra early and stay until late at night to handle the shipping business for Me- morial day. Fred Sperry, manager of the L. A. Floral Co., was found in somewhat the same position as the O. Henry character who would not take has feet from the cold bed-rail for a fortune. It is true that Fred was using the desk, but he said that both feet and brain required the respite after the big rush at Me- morial day, and he absolutely refused to talk. For direct, forceful advertising, the windows of the Germain Seed & Plant Co. are hard to beat. Whoever has charge of this has not only an artistic way of producing a practical effect, but also has the knack of hitting off the situation in a timely manner. For in- stance, the window showing a mountain scene, with fire signs and natural shrubbery, is great. It may not apply directly to the seed or nursery business, but the natural effect produced draws the crowd and familiarizes possible cus- tomers with the firm's staple lines. M. L. Germain, president of the company, says that the wonderful amount of busi- ness done in the vegetable seed end has not had any reflex action on the busi- ness of the flower seed and nursery de- partments; in fact, it has been rather the reverse. Frank Lichtenberg reports several big decorations and the usual amount of good funeral work. E. W. Saake has returned from a few days* vacation in the country. Some excellent stock was shown for the holi- day. W. Armacost & Co. are still sending in valley, but apparently not enough to take care of the demand. Mr. Armacost says that his company will probably postpone building on the newly acquired land for this season at least, probably growing a vegetable crop for one sea- son and using the top soil, if needed, for the benches. The rose stock is still coming in finely. W. W. Felgate, of Sierra Madre, gave a talk at the Forty-ninth street school under the auspices of the home gardens committee. May 29. He illustrated his remarks with some fine potatoes and other vegetables. H. B. Bichards. TACOMA, WASH. The Market.

There is a good demand for wedding bouquets, which is a usual thing at this season. Outdoor roses are beginning to show in the yards, but they have not made their appearance in windows. A few bright days have helped to relieve the tightness of the market to some extent, but there still is a scar- city of some of the standard items. Carnations are a little easier as to sup- ply. Sweet peas are more plentiful, but the demand for them is good and they are cleared closely. Baby gladioli are arriving sparingly, but gypsophilas are more plentiful. Peonies, which are usually featured at this season, are as yet not in the market, and there prob- ably will be no cut of any size for two or three weeks. The late frost did considerable damage to the crop. Roses are more plentiful and of good quality, but they are not sufficient for the demand. Lilac is in full crop, but on account of the large quantities grown privately it receives only a light call. Ten weeks' stocks are of good quality and abundant enough to meet the demand. Snapdragons also are plen- tiful, but the quality is not up to the standard. Outdoor valley is at its best and is meeting with a good demand for corsages and wedding bouquets. Bed- ding stock is plentiful, while the de- mand is weak. Various Notes. Van Slyke & Seamons are marketing a large stock of choice cucumbers. Their peas are in good demand. James Simpson is bringing in some choice roses from the Acme Floral Co. range. He cut a fine lot for the Memo- rial day trade. The popular salesman, F. W. Tredup, of the A. L, Eandall Co., Chicago, called on the trade last week. B. G, SAN FRANCISCO. Tlie Market.

Quantities of prac- tically all items were shipped out and the extra demand at home took care of the remainder nicely. Not only did the wholesalers enjoy a splendid ship- ping business, but most of the large re- tailers also had many orders from out of town. This helped out decidedly at the downtown establishments, as extra trade in flowers for use in the cemeteries on Memorial day has ceased to cut much figure with them. Jrfome say that each year sees a falling off in this respect, on account of the fact that more of the people taking flowers to the cemeteries buy them at the stands near the en- trances. This year many venders ca- tered to this demand, and consequently the large retailers got less. They did not miss it especially, however, as there was enough business to keep them busy as it was. The Memorial day services were elab- orate, and the florists were called upon to fill a large number of special orders for high-grade stock and to make up CYCLAMEN ■nrliah-Brown Seed, 5 named varieties. from 4-inch pots, assorted.

Besides, the week saw a heavy funeral business, and school graduations demanded some little atten- tion. All told, there was an uncom- monly heavy demand for flowers. Peonies were at their height and they figured prominently in the out-of-town shipments. Baby gladioli were not ex- cessively plentiful and cleaned up easily. The large varieties of eladioU have not put in an apoearance as yet. Carnations and callas were about the weakest points in the local mar- ket. "While there were plenty of car- nations, the quality was not up to the standard, and other flowers were 68 The Florists^ Review June 7, 1917. shown the preference. Callas were ex- tremely scarce. On the other hand, Easter lilies were offered in abundance, and the quality was about as good as was ever seen in this market. Sweet peas suffered a little from the dark, cold days near the end of May, but there was enough good stock for nearly all requirements, the exceptions in most instances being large orders from out of town. Boses maintain a high aver- age of quality and the demand is suf- ficiently active to clean up the heavy cut from day to day, at fair prices. The supply of orchids about equals the de- mand, and the same may be said of valley. There is a splendid cut of gar- denias, and the blooms are well taken. AS a matter of fact, the flower offerings are of such a wide variety that it is im- possible to do them justice in a sum- mary of market conditions. Suffice it to say that the shops never presented a finer appearance and were never in bet- ter position to satisfy even the most ex- acting buyers. Various Notes. The leading retailers made up a large number of funeral pieces for the late George W. Guthrie, the American am- bassador to Japan, whose remains were brought to this city from Tokyo. Pelicano, Eossi & Co. used sixty dozen long-stemmed American Beauty roses in a decoration at the Bohemian Club. This firm reports an active week, there being a great deal of funeral and school graduation work, besides the Memorial day rush. The force worked well into the night of May 29 in order to get out the last of the shipping orders. Mrs. E. E. Darbee says the Memorial day business was far above her expecta- tions, both as to out-of-town and local orders. She worked so hard that she is now planning a month's vacation. As soon as school is out she expects to leave on a motor trip to southern Oregon, tak- I Continued on pajfe 811. PORTLAND, ORE. Memorial Day Business. "I never liad sucli a rush before" and "I sold twice as much stock as at any previous Memorial day," are ex- amples of expressions by proprietors of retail stores, attesting the remarkable business that came to Portland florists. Never before has there been such a shortage of outdoor flowers. The minds of the people are turned to military matters, and these formed a strong fea- ture of the observance of the day. The people felt that they must keep up the usual cemetery decorations, and, hav- ing no flowers in their yards, all made a rush to the florists. Tlie repeated de- mands for carnations for grave decora- tions, when the expenditure was to be small, proved that many of the buyers had little experience in buying flowers for such a purpose. First the market was swept clean of carnations of all col- ors, at $1 per dozen. Eoses, snapdragons and other indoor flowers followed.

Some stock was brought in from California, coming from as far south as Los Angeles. The movement of bedding stock has increased, but it is not up to normal. Various Notes. In discussing the recent change in packing flowers for parcel post, retail- • Ts say that the prices of corrugated '•oxes put them entirely out of the question, but they find they can buy thin material for wooden boxes, knocked down, for about the price of a good grade of pasteboard boxes. This material is reinforced when necessary with thin strips, forming a substantial container and adding but little weight to the package. Some careful shippers who have been using double boxes of pasteboard welcome the change, as it will cut down the cost of packing.

I ?iiiiiiiiiiiiiiimiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii^ proved. It may be unknown to many importers that steamers have come across from Holland right along this spring. All these steamers, however, came to this country in ballast or with some cargo especially designated by the British or American governments. By leaving Holland without cargo they avoided the calling at an English port, which enabled them to reach the ocean without touching the zone of submarine danger. I was informed a couple of months ago that steps were being taken by the Holland government to get per- mission to ship bulbs and nursery stock on the Holland boats without obliging them to call at a British port, and the cable received by me indicates that this ])ermission has been granted. In my opinion, prospects of shipping nursery stock are better than they were last fall. Steamers will come across con- siderably quicker than before, the delay in England having been eliminated," WESTERLY, R. I. Conrad Schultz was a business visitor to New York and Boston last week, Louis Renter was one of the high guns at the Memorial day shoot of the South County Rod and Gun Club. Gardener Coon has finished setting out a large batch of plants and shrubs in the public gardens, the stock coming from the Elm City Nurseries, of New Haven, Mark A, Cassidy, of Providence, is in charge of the instruction of pupils of the public schools in gardening this summer.

Mention The Review when jou write. BUFFALO. The Market. The weather last week was exceed- ingly unpleasant, the one exception, fortunately for the Bison florists, being Memorial day. Stock of all descriptions was plentiful for the occasion and the returns were most satisfactory. The pot plant business was a conspicuous feature of the day's activities. Ameri- can Beauties moved well in funeral de- signs, and other varieties of roses pro- vided no grounds for complaint, the supply being adequate, the quality good and the prices, except for a few, reasonable. Carnations cleared speed- ily at good figures and thereby gave other flowers a showing. Corsage bouquets made large inroads on the supply of sweet peas, and miscel- laneous stock, such as daisies, snap- dragons, marigolds and mignonette, was most useful. It is gratifying to note that geraniums realized much better prices this year. Various Notes. A smart touring car is affording Frank Baum much enjoyment, and Mr. Baum says he is going to take to the country when bright days come. Liberty Loan window displays were the attraction at both ot the Palmer stores last week. Alice A. Erckert had an exceptionally good Memorial day trade, William Legge disposed ot all of his plants and L. H. Neubeck chalked up a record business. A. E. EVANSVILLE, IND. The Memorial day business was good, fully up to the average of other years, and in some instances greater. Cut flow- ers fell short of requirements, and when they were gone plants came into favor. Peonies were scarce on account of the late spring and other outdoor stock was not so plentiful as it should have been. Julius Niednagel & Sons put into service a new auto truck for the Me- morial day business. This concern had a large cut of roses and carnations for the day. J. C. Elspcrmann experienced a good holiday business, in addition to a large batch of funeral work. The Blackman Floral Co. reports a })ig business for Memorial day, as do Otto Kuebler, Karl Zeidler and Theo- dore Kuebler. E. L.

But please do not ask The Review to make a choice of ap- paratus for you. The greenhouse heating equipment advertised in this paper is, we believe, the best for the trade to buy, and each article the best in the special field of its adaptation. THE HIGH COST OF COAL. There is one slight sign of progress in the attempt to find a remedy for the situation in the coal market. There is evidence of an advance from general principles to precise facts. Hereto- fore prevailing conditions, and not any definite group of persons, have been blamed for the enormous prices of fuel. Now there is a disposition to place the chief blame on one body of people — namely, the mine owners. The guilt, it is said, has been traced to their door. If that judgment is not entirely just, a quick and loud protest undoubtedly will come from the mine owners, and the exact truth will finally be reached. Indeed, the accused men have already offered some defense, but do not seem to have succeeded completely in ac- quitting themselves. It is still conceded that the shortage of labor and the inadequacy of trans- portation facilities have been largely responsible for the stagnation in the coal business, but it is alleged that the mine owners, in boosting the prices, have taken unjustifiable and unscrupu- lous advantage of these circumstances. Francis S. Peabody, chairman of the national commission on the control of fuel, is continuing his investigations energetically. C. M. Moderwell, a re- tired coal operator who represents Il- linois and Indiana in the same com- mission, seems to be ably and con- scientiously doing his part. So there is a ray of light in the darkness. An expert statistician, said to be favorable to the mine owners, has pre- IMICO Hot Water Boilers Made by Illinois Malleable Iron Co. 1801-1825 DIversey Boulevard CHICAGO Are noted for COAL ECONOMY and good results generally.

GORMAN, 250 W. 128th St, NEW YORK Mention The Review when you write. sented this statement of the increase in the cost of mining: Increased cost of labor, due to advance in wages, 50 cents per ton; increase in cost of all mining materials, 10 cents per ton; increase in cost of securing and housing miners, 5 cent| per ton; total increase in production cost, 65 cents per ton. It should be pointed out that the in- creased cost of labor is estimated by the Illinois state council of national de- fense as not more than 25 cents per ton. Other authorities doubt that the cost of materials used in mining has in- creased as much as appears in this statement. But, taking these figures at their face value, and averaging last year's price of screenings at 90 cents a ton, this year's price, so far as justified by the jump in production cost, should be about $1.55 a ton. Instead of that it is $2.75 a ton, which leaves a new profit of $1.20 a ton. In other words, the coal mine owners, after making liberal allow- ances for increases in cost, seem to have added 130 per cent to last year's price at the mine mouth, for no other ap- WILIS SELF- FEEDING HOT WATER BOILER For Economy, Durability, Dependability InsteUa WILKS aad forget your trouble*.

My coal bill to heat 5000 sq. ft. of glass surface with your boiler is less than last winter's coal bill, when I had only 2050 sq. ft. of glass, heated with the 8-section cast iron boiler.

Because the Memorial day demand apparently was not up to the expecta- tions of the downtown retailers, the preparations for a good supply of stock for the holiday turned out to be more than ample. The business done, how- ever, seems to have pleased the major- ity of the florists. Stock of the best quality now is ar- riving, but there could be more life to the sale of carnations, American Beau- ties and tulips. Sweet peas, however, clear before a robust demand, the sup- ply not being any too large. The activ- ities in the bedding stock departments now are in full blast, with everybody in the greenhouses speeding up his work. Various Notes. ; One grower deserves special credit for the high-grade stock he is shipping to the Detroit market. He is Fred Breit- meyer, of Mount Clemens, whose new Pink Ophelia roses are a treat to the lucky retailer who can obtain them, Mr. Breitmeyer also grows Ward, Ophelia, Mott and Reid to perfection. Splendid Darwin tulips are being cut at the A. Stahelin place. Plans for a fishing trip by florists are being made by William Dilger, of the Dilger Landscape Co. Norman Sullivan has leased a part of the Woodward Flower Shop to a high- class confectioner. H. T. BRIEF ANSWERS. A. N. R., Mich.— These are each forms of Cephalotaxus Fortunei. K. C.

[Continued from page C8.1 ing along camp equipment, so she can stop in the prettiest spots along the way. Mrs. Darbee says flowers were in excellent shipping condition for the holi- day, thanks to the cool, damp weather. The management of the California Floral Co. is well satisfied with its first Memorial day business. This concern did considerable shipping, in addition to a number of church decorations and an active counter trade. Frank Claverie reports business good on Polk street. He has his store nicely fitted up and has added three employees to his force. Norman Marcus, decorator for Albert O. Stein, has enlisted in a hospital unit and expects to leave soon for France. He has two brothers and several friends in the same corps. On account of his father's illness, PatricJI: Orr, of the Stein force, has given lap his plans for a month's trip east and has gone to Oroville, Cal., instead, to spend the '^ime with his father. The Francis Floral Co. enjoyed a won- derful Memorial day business, accord- ing to the proprietor, Francis Schlotz- hauer. His force worked overtime on out-of-town shipments. Frank H. Forrest has closed a deal whereby he will do all the decorating for the Tait-Zinkand cafe, which is one of the largest in the city. He makes his headquarters with the Art Floral Co. and has been helping out there for several days during the holiday rush. P. V. Matraia, head of the company, says shipping business was especially good. At his stand in the St. Francis hotel Julius Eppstein has had a special dis- play of orchids from Carbone's place in Berkeley. The showing included ten or more varieties. Mr. Eppstein says business is holding up well. Victor Podesta, of Podesta & Bal- docchi, gave his attention personally to a large floral piece for the Guthrie demonstration. Mr. Podesta says that the Memorial day business has ceased to amount to much with florists doing a high-class business downtown, at least as far as extra counter trade is con- cerned. Manager J. A. Axell, of the E. W. McLellan Co., reports the largest ship- ping business for Memorial day that his firm ever experienced. Peonies were one of the principal items, and baby gladioli were in great demand. The McLellan Co. continues to bring in a fine cut of gardenias and has a heavy cut of roses. Fred C. Jaeger, manager for Mac- Rorie & McLaren, has resumed his du- ties, after a pleasant outing in Lake county. This concern sent many flowers out of town for Memorial day. Eobert Newcomb, representing the American Bulb Co., says he is going to remain on the coast until Julv. S. H. G.

Memorial day business was not what it would have been had the weather been agreeable. March 29 was a cold, rainy day that hurt the plant trade considerably. The retailers were somewhat busy, as the customers who would not plant stock on account of the rain bought cut flowers with which to decorate the graves. Funeral work, too, was quite heavy and a few good wed- dings helped to keep the forces busy at the stores. The wholesalers had little to com- plain about; there were no local peonies and few outdoor flowers to interfere with the sale of greenhouse stock. Lilies ' were quite plentiful, as were roses. Carnations jwere on the short side. A few southern peonies came in, but they were in a bad condition. There were quantities of irises and sweet peas, but the latter were soft and did not realize much. Greens of all kinds continue scarce. June 2 brought in an avalanche of roses, most of them open, and the street boys had a big inning. Various Notes. Fred Davidson, of Martins Ferry, 0., formerly of Davidson Bros., called on the trade while on his way to one of the training camps. Word has been received of the death, June 1, of M. I. O'Brien, of Sharon, Pa. Mr. O'Brien was one of Sharon's oldest florists and was well known among tlie trade here, although he had retired from the business. He grew many orchids for the trade of this city. The funeral of George W. Guthrie, ambassador to Japan, brought many handsome orders to this city from various representatives at Washington, D. C. A. Krongold is proud of an order for a floral tribute which he received from Vice-President Thomas Marshall, to be executed without regard to ex- pense, for the funeral of Mr. Guthrie. Clarke. New Orleans, La. — Members of the New Orleans Horticultural Society, many of whom are florists, at a meet- ing last month decided to assist those who are fighting the proposed law against the importation of foreign plants, trees, bulbs and seeds. Secre- tary Kichard Eichling spoke on the stringent quarantine law of Louisiana and the many hardships it forced on the florists. It was decided to hold the society 's annual outing in July at one of the resorts across the lake. \M'/m\niia;;ii\iiifiiiM(A Caldwell Tanks of Galvanized Steel are stronsr. tight and durable.

Mnd Greenhouses KEEP SUMMER with You the WHOLE YEAR ROUND On account of their sturdy special construction, which permits of great strength without the need of heavy, shadow-casiing supports, these houses are so warm and sunny that they are filled with a riot of bloom and fruit when Jack Frost has stripped the garden of its beauty.

Business is good, but it is not good enough to take up the receipts as fast as they arrive. Eoses are in heavy supply, the offerings including excellent blooms of Ophelia, Sunburst, Russell and Ward. Many of the Kil- larneys, however, are badly mildewed. Carnations are plentiful, and the same is true of Easter lilies. The cut of peo- nies now is heavy, and gladioli follow suit in this respect. Other items of im- portance are snapdragons, irises, callas, sweet peas, cornflowers and sweet Wil- liams. New southern ferns are meeting with a large demand. Various Notes. C. E. Critchell has been having an excellent demand for his fresh southern ferns. W. Frank & Sons, of Portland, Ind., shipped some exceptionally good Ward and Ophelia roses to L. H. Kyrk during the week. Among recent visitors were Mr. and Mrs. G. A. Beckman, of Middletown, O.; E. Uhl, of Greenfield, O., and llllrs. Fen- nel, of Cynthiank, Ky. C. H. H. NEWARK, N. J. The Market. Continued cool, cloudy weather last week cut down Memorial day business somewhat, but retailers report that sales for the holiday were good, considering the weather. There was a big demand for many kinds of bedding plants be- fore Memorial day and it has continued since. Carnations and sweet peas are in supply sufficient for the demand and are of excellent quality. Pansy plants have passed their prime, although there is quite a supply still in the market. Gladioli, which made their appearance two weeks ago, are in large supply. Lilacs are abundant. Outdoor tulips are plentiful. The demand for vegetable seeds has let up, because of the weather. Prices have been high. Florists who handle vegetable plants report them in short supply and high in price. Various Notes. George Penek says business has been exceptionally good, considering the weather. W. R. James has opened a flower shop at Clinton and Elizabeth avenues. The S. A. Rogers Co. is doing a good business in plants and seeds. John W. Blakeley, of Elizabeth, re- ports that spring business has been satis- factory. R. B. M.

The Florists^ Review 89 (WOULD YOU TAKE AN UNSIGNED CHECK? NO? THEN WHY UNSIGNED CYPRESS?) Of course you want Cypress, "the Wood Eternal," for all uses where it represents the highest utihty and economy. But — how do you know that what you get is Cypress? And, if it is Cypress, how can you tell that it's genuine ?How can you be sure that it grew in the regions near enough to the coast to produce the true "Wood Eternal"? And how can you tell that the Cypress • you buy was properly manufactured, sufficiently dried before shipment, and then scrupulously graded and counted ? There's ONE WAY to be Sun ^^^^^*»^^f^f^^ It is simply to INSIST on SEEING the legally registered Cypress Association Trade-mark on every piece (or bundle). "Buy by the Cypress Arrow." "TIDE-WATER" CYPRESS MANUFACTURED BY ASSOCIATION MILLS 1^ IDENTIFIED BY THIS TRADE-MARK Trade Mark Reg. U.S.pAT.QFnct You don't buy diamonds of a casual solicitor — nor expect pure foods in unidentified packages; why not be equally careful in guaranteeing yourself your money's-worth in Cypress lumber? The undersigned Association licenses its registered trade-mark only to those Cypress saw-mills whose location, business methods and responsibility guarantee delivery to the consumer "as per specitications." The kind of Cypress you want IS TO BE HAD. It is up to you to SEE THAT YOU GET IT by simply insisting on SEEING that CYPRESS ARROW on EVERY BOARD (or bundle) you pay lot.

Dear Mr. Davey: I believe that 1 owe you many thanks for the opportunity which 1 have had just recently of seeing the Davey organization in convention at Kent. I was deeply impressed by the mutual determination of your men to accomplish perfect work and to place quality above all other considerations. This, and the trained ability and co- operation of your men, is doing much to restore that confidence in the profession of tree surgery which has been greatly injured by poorly trained and unscrupulous workers. After an inspec- tion of work accomplished by your men and a study of their methods, I am convinced that their work measures up to the highest degree of efficiency which training and experience can produce. I believe that owners of trees may expect service of the most reliable character from your men. Very truly yours, H. D. HOUSE, State Botanist, Write for Free Examination of Your Trees — and booklet, "When Your Trees Need the Tree Surgeon." What is the real condition of your trees? Are insidious diseases and hidden decay slowly undermining their strength? Will the next severe storm claim one or more as its victims?

Rotary rather exacts a labor — but witness how well it has rewarded florist members. ORN of a loftier ambition than merely to stand high in the world, nurtured by the indomitable spirit of progress, Rotary has grown during a short span of years from an unos- tentatious beginning to a national force. The prin- ciples of Rotary, first given form in 1905, in the course of a dossen years have been embraced by large numbers of the country's leading business and professional men, those who have pledged themselves to Rotary ideals now aggregating approximately 31,000. This figure repre- sents the estimated total membership of about 300 Botary clubs, most of them in the United States, but with a fair sprinkling of them in Canada, Great Brit- ain, Ireland and Cuba. Botary 's Rewards. A Rotary club consists of men chosen from each distinct business and pro- fession, the membership being limited to one rep- resentative from each line of endeavor. Each mem- ber, therefore, is benefited by association with mem- bers engaged in other oc- cupations than his own. To put it briefly, a club is organized t o accomplish : "First, the betterment of the individual member; second, the betterment of the member ' s business, both in a practical way and in an ideal way; third, the betterment of the m e m - bcr's craft or profession as a w^hole; fourth, the better- ment of the member ' s home, his town, state and country, and of society as a whole. ' ' In the matter of busi- ness benefits, on the mate- rial side, it is obvious that a membership in a Rotary club represents an oppor- tunity for increased busi- ness, through the forma- tion of acquaintanceships, through the friendly rela- tions between members. It i s emphasized, however, that a membership pro- vides an opportunity only. Buying and selling be- tween Rotarians is not an obligation, only an incident; but it is clear that if each of the Rotary flo- rists, having gained the confidence of his fellow members, combines this ad- vantage with satisfactory flowers, prices and service, he is in a most favor- able position to receive the patronage of his fellow members. It would seem, then, that the 173 florists in Rotary en- joy the returns from a channel of trade which florists who are not Rotarians necessarily must pass up. It is a case of being "in right," to express it in the language of the street. In addition to this retail phase of business accruing to Rotary florists. there is the wholesale aspect, the inter- change of telegraph and mail orders be- tween themselves. All of the Rotary clubs are aflfiliated with and insepar- able from the mother body, the Inter- national Association of Rotary Clubs, under ' the auspices of which the an- nual conventions are held and under the guidance of which the trade, or vo- cational, sections are formed and ener- gized. Thus, in the florists' contingent, whether by actual session or by written communication, the trade's Rotary flo- rists come into closer contact with each other, pool their ideas for trade im- provements, discuss problems common to themselves and clear the way for more business be- tween themselves. Send Flowers June is the Month of Brides, Sweet Girl Graduates, Sun' shine and Flowers You'll want to contribute to the festivities of June, so let your con- tribution be FLOWERS. No matter where you want to send Flowers or for what occasion you want them— the Rotary Flort Rotary banner ha\'e to their credit a "scoop," and while on this subject William C. Gloeck- ner, the Rotary florist of Albany, N. Y., has a few words to say: "The Ro- tary florists and not the Chicago Florists ' Club have been the first to go into magazine advertising, as we have carried an ad in The Rotarian for almost eighteen months. Of course, we have specialized in 'Rotary florists and service,' but we feel satis- fied that the advertising has helped other out-of- t 0 w n business and done good work for the F. T. D." The advertising medium referred to, The Rotarian, is the official organ of the International Association of Rotary Clubs. It is a well developed publica- tion, issued monthly, its circulation of more than 31,000 being made up of Rotary club members. The readers easily are of the fiowor-buying type, men wliose incomes as a rul« 12 The Florists^ Review June 14, 1917. ^ Send Flowers to cheer the side and please the well &&& I I i^' y°" happen to be far from \, J[honie and it should sudden- ly occurtoyouthat it was Mother's, Wife's, or Sweetheart's birthday you can let her know that you remembered by stepping into the shop of the local Rotary Florist, and he, by means of a telegraph system, can deliver flowers to the loved one within a few hours- same price as at home, except c(jst of telegram added The Telegraph Association is a group of the best and most re- liable men in the Floral industry, who fill telegraph orders as con- scientiously as they would your verbal or written order. Associated Rotary Florists The Telegraph Delivery Idea. are considerably in excess of the aver- age. Between sixty and seventy per cent of the monthly copies are mailed to the home addresses of the subscribers, thus coming to the attention of the wives and other members of the fam- ilies. A Rotary Scheme. Tlie first advertising of the associated Rotary florists in the organization pub- lication evidently was productive of good returns, for at last year's Rotary convention at Cincinnati the leaders planned to raise a fund to be expended for and to guarantee continuous adver- tising in the magazine during 1917. Ac- cordingly, Rotarian Thomas II. Joy, of Nashville, Tenn., secretary of the flo- rists' division, assisted by William C^ Gloeckner, of Albany, N. Y., then chair- man, circularized Rotary florists with letters asking contributions to an ad- vertising appropriation. After a bit of hammering, about 100 members re- sponded to the call, each subscribing an average of $10. Having thus acquired the wherewithal, thanks to their gumption and determination, the officers of the division contracted for twelve full pages in The Rotarian, be- ginning with the December issue of last year. The accompanying illustrations are reduced reproductions of four of the advertisements that have appeared so far. In a way the Rotary ads are a revelation to those who are familiar with the attempts of the average florist in writing effective advertising copy. The appeals to sentiment are adroit, neither overdone nor underdone; the text explaining tlie telegraph idea is boiled down to a happy minimum; the cuts catch the eye. The current ad, ap- pearing in this month's issue of the magazine, has a most seasonable mes- sage: "June is the month of brides, sweet girl graduates, sunshine and flow- ers." At the close of the ad there is a snappy spontaneous style: "The thing is done — no trouble, no worry, no delay, everybody happy!" The adver- tisements were the work of the service department of the publication. Florists of the Wheel.

This means that there is room for about 127 florists in Rotary organizations, 127 chances for ambitious florists who want to join the craftsmen already co- operating under the wheel of Rotary. Every Rotary club without a florist member represents a chance. It should be borne in mind, however, that there is no such thing as ' ' absent treatment" in Rotary. Each member elected lias obligations that cannot well be "skipped," and one of these is reg- ular attendance at all gatherings of his Rotary club. Election to member- ■ship is not a perfunctory matter. A Rotary membership committee is to be satisfied on several points, such as the proposed member's personal credit; that he is one of the directing forces of a business; that the concern he rep- resents is one of the leaders in the line of business; that his reputation for in- tegrity and character is above reproach. But things not easy to get are worth having. Thomas H.

CO-OPERATION AT CHICAGO. Cooperative newspaper advertising has proved highly effective in practi- cally all the cities in which it has been tried, but it has not yet been employed in Chicago. Within the last few days, however, progress has been made which promises a strong push in the autumn. Working together, the II. V. Swen- son Co., which specializes in florists' publicity, and one of the Chicago daih' papers obtained over $500 in subscrip- tions from tlie trade for the publication of the full-page advertisement repro- duced herewith much reduced in size. It was found, however, that a majority of those who subscribed disagreed with one feature of the plan or another and only put their names down because of general interest. For instance, the ma- jority, especially among the wholesalers who subscribed, said they thought the season is wrong; that the advertising should start at the beginning of a sea- son rather than at its end. Others questioned the choice of medium, be- lieving that a different paper would better be used, even if its rates are higher. Still others thought one inser- tion undesirable if a second and third are not in sight. The latter were the deciding factor in causing Mr. Swen- son to postpone the matter for a time. He now plans to arrange for a series of large cooperative daily newspaper ads to appear in the autumn and win- ter and has secured many endorsements, including that of the Chicago Florists' Club. A LUXURY? A popular fallacy is that flowers are a luxury, but the florist who studies his business knows that when the flower- buying habit has been acquired flowers tliereafter are as necessary as any other article of regular use. How necessary flowers have become, even to people of moderate means, is shown by the fact that a popular-priced store, run by an energetic American in one of the good- sized cities, recently made 1,600 sales in one business day. But the most re- markable feature of it is that the 1,600 sales were made in a store having only 280 square feet of floor space within its four walls. One would be justified in calling such a rush a "demand" for flowers. 14 The Florists' Review June 14, 191T. TIME FOB LATE PLANTINGS. We are told each year that gladioli are being overdone; that they sold so cheaply in the markets that they were not worth growing and that as a conse- quence fewer would be grown next year. We have heard this talk so many times now and applied to such a variety of plants that it has become somewhat hackneyed. From reports from seed and bulb houses, we find that the de- mand for these bulbs has increased this season, in spite of all the semi-hysteri- cal economy talk. It is true, of course, that gladioli during the glut season do bring unprofitable prices. It is equally true that early in the year they will net, under careful culture, as much as any indoor crop we can grow; ahd, coming to the outdoor crop, if a few more grow- ers would realize that it pays to start a few hundreds in pots in a frame, to plant out later, and to plant a good batch in the open early and a further batch rather late, to avoid the period of glut, they would make more money. But in too many cases retail florists plant their entire stock of gladioli at one operation, which will give the bulk of their spikes when they are most abundant. This is a reminder that these -late gladioli should go in between now and June 20, and that they should be planted five to six inches in depth for the best results. If you have not yet tried the primulinus type of gladioli, you should do so. They are as yet a little high for commercial uses, but they are by far the most decorative of gladioli, and they promise in a few years to surpass in favor the older and larger-flowered varieties. GLADIOLUS BULLETIN NO. 2. Possibly some florists, including even a few gladiolus growers, are scarcely aware of the existence of the trial grounds of the American Gladiolus So- ciety, at the New York State College of Agriculture, Cornell University, Ithaca, N. Y. Most members of the trade, perhaps, were fully aware of the establishment of the trial grounds, about half a dozen years ago, but some of them have now forgotten the im- portant event or have only a vague recollection of it. Some of them have, at the most, only a dim and indiffer- ent consciousness of the fact that im- portant experimental work is being con- ducted at the test grounds, under the direction of the department of horti- culture at Cornell. A series of bulletins now being issued at Cornell will serve as a forcible re- minder to these forgetful ones, giving them a distinct realization of what is being accomplished by means of the trial grounds. The publication of ' * Gla- diolus Studies — I," the first number of the series, was recently announced in The Review. The book treated of * * the botany, history and evolution of the gladiolus" and was prepared by Prof. A. C. Beal, who has general management of the experimental work. The second bulletin, * ' Gladiolus Stud- ies— II," has now appeared. It dis- cusses "the culture and hybridization of the gladiolus" and was written by Alfred C. Hottes, who has direct charge of the gladiolus trials, under the super- vision of Prof. Beal. The data for this second bulletin, says Mr, Hottes, "are based on the results of four years of work in the trial grounds." Apparently, no statement has been ' made as to how many bulletins this se- ries of * * gladiolus studies ' ' will contain, but the intention seems to be to give the subject rather thorough considera- tion. In the preface to ' ' Gladiolus Stud- ies— I," Prof. Beal said: "The present bulletin is intended to trace the devel- Gladiolus Violet Perfection. opment of the gladiolus up to the pres- ent time. Succeeding bulletins will treat of its culture and of the varieties that have been tested in the gladiolus trial grounds. ' ' GLADIOLUS VIOLET PERFECTION. A recent issue of The Review con- tained some remarks about Gladiolus Pink Perfection, with a picture of the flower. The remarks were of what might be called a theologico-horticultural na- ture, for theology and horticulture mix easily and naturally, like substances that have a chemical affinity, and most florists mix them more or less. This time the subject is perfection of another color, Violet Perfection. And again there is an opportunity — it is more than an opportunity; it is an ip. resistible temptation — to draw attention to the wide divergence of opinion on what constitutes perfection. For a. Hammond Tracy, who supplied the p)jo! tograph here reproduced, says that tie color of the flower * ' verges so closely t^a a purple as to warrant the name of V;^. let Perfection, but it cannot be call ^ a true violet." In other words, so t-it is the hue from being the perfection .f violet that it is not violet at all, .^ Mr. Tracy's opinion. Yet the mere doubt about the ex& t shade of ' color does not prevent Viol t Perfection from being what Mr. Tra- / says it is, one of the most beautiful a: I desirable of the more recently intr - duced varieties. He says it is "by f if the finest deep Burgundy red on tLj market at present." Again he says 'f it: "It is the pearl of the blue git • dioli; a genuine blue- violet; a magni! • cent novelty. It has large open flower ., with no markings." Probably the vp riations of the color, in different local' ties and conditions and at different stages of the development of the flowers, are sufficient to reconcile most of tho apparent contradictions in the descrip tions. POSTPONED! No Trade Meeting at Chicago. W. J, Vesey, Jr., president of the American Carnation Society, who issued a call for a trade meeting at Chicago June 19 and 20 to discuss ways and means of offsetting increased costs of growing flowers, has asked that the trade be notified of a postponement. Mr. Vesey states that another notifica- tion will be given later, with the na- tional society's sanction. OPPOSES PLANT EXCLUSION. At the meeting May 17 of the New Orleans Horticultural Society the fol- lowing resolution was offered by C. W. Eichling and unanimously adopted: WHEREAS, The American Forestry Associa- tion proposes to recommend to tlie Federal Hor- ticultural Board in Washington to pass a law prohibiting the importation of all plants, bollw, etc., therefore be It RESOLVED, That the New Orleans Horticul- tural Society considers such a law unneceMarj and injurious to the florists' business and hereby protests against the enactment of such a law.. The secretary of this society is hereby requested to transmit a copy of this resolution to the legia- latlve committee of the Society of American Florists, with the request to oppose the passage of such a law. SECOND SEASON BULBS POOS. I have about 500 boxes of narcissus, tulip and daffodil bulbs, which I flow- ered in boxes indoors. After the bloom- ing period I dumped the bulbs outdoors, just turned the boxes upside down. How should I further treat the bulbs so that they will be fit for use this fallf C. A. M.— Mich. If you had any idea of saving the bulbs for a second season, you certainly took an original way to ripen them off prior to harvesting them. It does not pay to attempt to force these bulbs a second season. Some varieties will bloom fairly well a second season if planted outdoors, but where they are cut down close to the soil none of the kinds you name are of value, even .for that purpose. You must buy fresh bulbs of tulips, narcissi and hyacinths for forcing each season. C. W. JUNB 14, 1917. The Florists' Review 15 When a Person of Means Builds a Conservatory it Results in Purchase, Not Production, of Plants. AMERICAN PEONY SOCIETY. The annual meeting and exhibition of the American Peony Society, origin- ally set for Philadelphia, June 4 and 5, and postponed to June 11 and 12, was again postponed last week, too late for notice to appear. The latest postpone- ment was to June 13 and 14, the exhi- bition being in conjunction with the June show of the Pennsylvania Horti- cultural Society. ENCOUBAGE THE AMATEUB. An elaborate example of the private conservatories the wealthier people are wont to build in connection with their homes is that recently constructed for Daniel Good at Buffalo, N. Y. As will be seen by the accompanying illustra- tions, the conservatory is unique in its shape and in the manner in which it fits into a recess of the residence. Keeping conservatories of this kind stocked with plants provides an outlet for much florists' stock, as the owners rarely can produce the plants needed. Consequently florists, when they are asked by their well-to-do patrons con- cerning conservatories, as they fre- quently are, should encourage their con- struction. The conservatory at the Good home fits into a U-shaped opening made by the dining-room on the one side and the main hall and music room on the other. It is thirty feet long and twenty feet wide, with a semicircular bay ^of a 9- foot radius. The construction is of gal- vanized steel members, with copper gut- ters, and the wood is especially selected for its fine grain and susceptibility to finish. The glass is all -f^-inch polished plate. Many of the roof lights are bent two ways, each taking a separate template. Special treatment was given the roof glass to make it opaque. Over the whole roof heavy snow guards have been placed. The interior is done principally in ivory white, to conform with the colo- nial effect in the dining-room and hall, the latticework on the sides, how- ever, is of the light green that was used for all the finishings of the inte- rior. The floor is of tile and the coping base and fountain are of pink marble. The dolphin fountain over the rock- ery, together with the rockery frames, is of terra cotta, a peculiar finish being employed. The rockery is of tufa- stone and is planted with ferns and aquatic plants. The main fountain is of the same stone and is equipped with electric lights arranged to shine through the water. The plant tables are of bronze and copper, all the heating radi- ators being concealed underneath. The conservatory is considered one of the finest in Buffalo. It was con- structed by the Lord & Burnham Co., through H. E. Bates, of the Eochester, N. Y., oflBce. H. J. H. to die. The boxes were about 18x36 inches and sixteen inches in depth, in each of which I planted three or four roots. These boxes I set in the water so that the top edges projected just above the surface. H. H. — Mich. WATER LILIES IN BOXES. I have a cement water basin which I want to convert into a lily pond during the summer. I propose to place the water lilies in boxes, so that the soil will not make the water muddy and so that I can move the boxes and plants at any time. How should I transplant the lilies into the boxes and how should they be treated while in the boxes, so as to keep them growing and flowering? Should they be manured? If so, how? I have tried this before, but with little success. The plants seemed to thrive only for a short while and then began I am afraid your soil was too poor for the lilies. Use good loam and add one-third as much cow manure, well de- cayed. Mix this thoroughly. Plant only one lily in the center of each box. Cover the surface of the boxes with a good layer of coarse sand. This will prevent the water from becoming muddy. Submerge the boxes entirely and your plants will dO' vastly better. C. W. Scranton, Pa. — George E. Clark notes an increased call for roses in pots. While many patrons are familiar with the names and colors, thanks to the houses that issue catalogues giving such information, Mr. Clark finds that plain, descriptive labels greatly facili- tate sales at this busy time. The seed trade is most satisfactory. The More There Are of These the More Plants and Flowers Will be Needed. 14 The Florists^ Review \ JvNi: 14, 1«J17. TIME FOR LATE PLANTINGS.

The worst hail storm in sixteen years struck the establishment of Charles B. Wright at Eeisterstown, Md., at 4 p. m., June 6. Practically all the glass on the north side of his 10,000-foot range was destroyed, while three-quar- ters of that on the south side was broken or damaged. The growing stock outside also was destroyed. Mr. Wright's peonies were in full crop and were mowed down by the hail. Large festiva maxima stems were cut off at the ground. Mr. Wright's loss in stock included 9,000 young carna- tion plants, planted out for fall hous- ing; 8,000 Crocker carnation plants ready for summer blooming; 2,000 Co- chet rose plants, gladioli, lilies, Span- ish iris, tomato and cabbage plants. The stock in the greenhouses also was badly damaged by hail and broken glass. The glass on the Wright range was insured with the Florists' Hail Asso- ciation. Hagerstown. Henry A. Bester & Sons advise that the hail storm of June 6 destroyed all their outdoor and indoor plantings and 75,000 square feet of glass. The firm is one of the oldest in Maryland. STORM AT WEST PLAINS, MO. A cloudburst, accompanied by a high wind and hail, struck West Plains, Mo., June 8, causing the destruction of grow- ing vegetation, fruit trees and market and private gardens. The Cottage Greenhouse and Ozark Pansy Garden of C. W. Harold suffered considerable dam- age. Sash frames were broken and stock damaged and a number of fruit trees were blown down. Grain crops in the neighborhood suffered heavily, Mr. Harold reports. ASKS HELP FOR STORM VICTIM. J. F. Ammann Makes Appeal. J. F. Ammann, secretary of the Illi- nois State Florists' Association, has addressed a letter to the members of the association asking aid for A. D. King, whose greenliouse range and home at Mattoon, 111., were destroyed by the storm wliich partially wrecked that city May 26. Mr. King, his wife and a young daughter were hurt, but liave recovered. Mr. Ammann 's letter to The Eeview is as follows: I am enclosing a copy of a letter received from A. D. King, of Mattoon, whose greenliouses and liome were wrecked by a cyclone May 2G. Tliis letter is in answer to one I felt it my duty as secretary of the state association to write Mr." King, he being a member of the association. Now, I feel it is the duty of every member of onr association to do something towards raising a fund to help Mr. King out. 1 will thank you to publish this letter In your valuable paper with an appeal to the members of the Illinois State Florists' Association to help. Contributions can be sent either to our treas- urer, ('. I>. Washburn, at lUoomington, 111., or to myself. All amounts will be duly credited, publislicd and turned over to Mr. King. Let us for a moment, at least, turn away from the commercial side of o'lr business, be chari- table, and follow the teachinga^of the one Great Master to render service to our fellowman. The letter of Mr. King, to Secretary Ammann, is as follows: I was glad to get your letter today, and I surely ajipreciate your kind offer for my help. I am just able to be about, as I was in the hos- pital, being hurt in the cyclone. You cannot realize how badly I am hit. I had fifteen houses, all stocked, had a fine trade and was doing fine. In five minutes I lost all! All my houses are flat! My home is gone! All stock gone! All supplies gone! And myself hurt! I had not even any furniture or clothes left, as the rain ruined all that was left. I enclose a small I)icture of one side of the greenhouses. I lost $30,U00 and if I cannot get some help I cannot rebuild. If you can help me by sending an appeal to the association, I will surely appreciate it. If I get along all riglit, so I can attend to business, I can make it a go. I have five children to feed. My wife and one little girl were hurt, but are getting along all right.

The directors of the Florists' Hail Association of America held a meeting at Trenton, N. J,, Friday, June 8, at which initial action was taken for the extension of the association's corpo- rate existence for another thirty years under the terms of the laws of New Jer- sey, as passed by the New Jersey legis- lature last winter. The directors also approved of and will recommend a" new set of by-laws drawn by J. A. Valentine, of Denver, Colo., which improves upon and puts Freesia Splendens. in legal form the by-laws used for the last thirty years. The proposition of cyclone insurance, submitted by Anders Rasmussen, of New Albany, Ind., was not taken up, for the reason that the law under which the Florists' Hail Association re- organized recognizes only hail as the form of destruction to be insured against. The annual meeting of the association will be held at Newark, N. J., August 20, 1917. John G. Esler, Sec'y. FISCHER'S FAMOUS FREESIAS. The accompanying illustration gives only a jioor impression of the quality of the colored freesias raised by Ru- dolph Fischer, of San Gabriel, Cal. The originator of the famous Purity has never let up in his work of freesia rais- ing, but he and Mrs. Fischer have worked hard and conscientiously along the line of improvement. After many years' work, Mr, Fischer last year sent out Splendens, a beauti- ful lavender variety absolutely distinct and trued up to type. So far as the writer's information goes, this is the only one that will be put out this year, although he has seen the newer ones. There is a magnificent clear yellow, as large as Purity and as good in ev.iv way; another is pure orange and there is a red. In short, there will be some wonderful varieties to come within the next few years and when the bulbs are available in sufficient quantities t] ey will revolutionize freesia growing. Mr. Fischer is considering gettiii ; a place "somewhere in the east," iu order that the flowers can be prodi' od and shown at their best without a ji .r- ney of four or five days. And tl cy surely will be a surprise to the tradi in the east, as all who have seen them m California admit. Mr, and Mrs. Fisc' or have performed a notable work in L ,r- ticulture. H. R, E. CHOOSE NEW HALL AT ST. LOUIS. The plans for the National Flov jr Show and S. A. F. convention at . t. Louis in March, 1918, which have bo'n blocked, as reported in the Review, ■ y the fact that the Coliseum, the buildii g engaged for the event, is to be demol- ished, have been readjusted by the Na- tional Flower Show committee, so th.i.t everything from now on should be plaia sailing. The committee, which met at the Jefferson hotel, St. Louis, June 9 and 10, decided to use the Moolah Tem- ple, at 3821 Lindell boulevard, for the convention. A building will be erected on a plot of ground adjoining the Tem- ple, 155x300 feet, and in this building the show will be staged. The committeemen who attended th(J meeting were: George Asmus, Chicago, chairman; President R. C. Kerr, of Houston, Tex.; Patrick Welch, of Bos- ton; Secretary Young, of New York; Treasurer J. J. Hess, of Omaha; Adolph Farenwald, of Philadelphia; A. F. J. *"' Baur, of Indianapolis. PREPARED FOLIAGES. One of the effects of the war has been to shut off completely the supplies of prepared foliages which formerly came from Germany. Among these ar- ticles is the so-called air plant. Another is adiantum fronds and there are sev- eral other less widely used articles. It is a curious fact that little of the raw material used for these supply house specialties originates in Germany. The Germans have imported the dried na- tural article and dyed it. It is just an- other illustration of the German effi- ciency in the matter of chemicals and dyes. The air plant is a Japanese spe- cialty. The adiantum fronds come from Australia. To maintain the supply in the United States American florists' supply dealers are learning to prepare and dye the raw material, the work the Germans formerly did, and, incidental- ly, pocketing the Germans' profits, which seem to have been large. The difficulties seem principally in the mat- ter of obtaining the right kind of dye. FORMULA WANTED. A reader asks for the formula and directions for using brown sugar and Paris green as an insecticide. The Re- view seems to have no record of it. Will someone supply the information? Lansing, Mich. — Wm. Krieger has cleaned up on bedding stock and con- siders the year satisfactory. Cemetery trade this season was ahead of the best previous record. JUNB 14, 1917. The Florists^ Review 17 HOW THEY BLOOM AT LOMFOC. Mrs. Skacb's Winter Sweet Peas. If you grow swe-'; peas to any con- siderable extent, youf have already formed a pleasing acquaintance, prob- ably, with the light piiik variety known as Mrs. A. A. rSkach. 'The purpose here is to introduce you, not to the flower, but to the lady after whom the flower is named. You see her — in the photo- graph, for the pictorial sort of intro- duction must suffice — you see her as she is engaged in picking some of the sweet peas that cluster around a bay window on the front of her residence at Lom- poc, Cal. As is proper for a person who has a namesake in the list of sweet peas, she is an ardent lover of these flowers and an enthusiastic amateur grower of them. She is not only enthusiastic, but successful, as is testified by her neigh- bor, A. C. Zvolanek, who surely is well qualified to pass judgment on such a matter. Mr. Zvolanek describes the methods that she followed in growing the 15-foot row of sweet peas which enclosed the bay window, and he also gives a statement of the number of blooms picked. The figures, he says, though they may seem startling, are compiled from carefully kept records. The Culture and the Crop. The soil where the peas grew, says Mr. Zvolanek, is a deep sediment. Along the 15-foot semicircle, one wheel- barrow load of short cow manure was spaded in to a depth of fifteen inches. The soil was then thoroughly tramped down and soaked. Six days later, Sep- tember 2, the surface was well raked and the seed was planted, with two inches of a covering. About thirty seeds — one-fourth of a packet of the Zvolanek winter-orchid-flowering Gold Medal mixture — were used. After sow- ing, no watering was done until the plants were about four inches high, when they were thinned out to twelve single plants, about fifteen inches apart. The first flowers were picked Novem- ber 20, when the plants were three and one-half feet high. At that date, and at each succeeding interval of four weeks, a good soaking of cow manure water was given. The flowers were sold locally or donated to various societies. The record, says Mr. Zvolanek, was as follows: November, 400 flowers; Decem- ber, 950; January, 2,650; February, 3,360; March, 5,250; April, 4,780; total to May 1, from the twelve plants, 17,- 390. Six Months of Bloom. The photograph was taken late in February. About the middle of May the plants were over twelve feet high and were still covered with a mass of good, though short-stemmed, flowers. During the winter there were many frosty nights, with a temperature, on two occasions, of 25 degrees. But, though some of the flowers were frozen, the plants themselves suffered no ap- parent harm. The twelve plants which formed the 15-foot row, says Mr, Zvolanek, were: Two plants of Mrs. A. A. Skach, two Zvolanek 's Eed, one Miss L. Gude, one Orange Orchid, one Black Lady, one White Orchid, one Zvolanek 's Blue, one Mrs. Charles Zvolanek and one Mrs. Paul Dusha. That reckoning, however, seems to leave one plant unidentified. Speaking of the length of the bloom- ing season of his winter orchid sweet peas, Mr. Zvolanek says: "If sown in localities where hard freezing prevails, just before the winter sets in or as early as possible in the spring, they will bloom from the middle of May. If sown as late as July, they will bloom in September and continue until frost kills them. In semitropical regions, like California, southern Texas and Florida, if sown in September they will bloom the whole winter." MAYWOOD, ILL. A Profitable Season. For the Maywood growers, whose output all is sold by commission houses in Chicago, the season of 1916-17 has been one of the most successful on record. It has not been without its embarrassments, especdally in the matter of obtaining fuel and labor, but the increased costs of doing business have not destroyed the satisfaction with which the season is reviewed, nor have they impaired confidence in the future. One difference from a year ago is noted, however: At this time last year all the growers were hard at work on improvements — new houses, new boil- ers, larger chimneys, new pumps and reservoirs, or planting new varieties. This year the disposition is to sit tight, to do only necoasary work and, because of the scarcity of help, to re- plant as few roses as possible. Today the Maywood rose growers are prac- tically all set for next season. A. F. Amling Co. The oldest and largest grower in Maywood, the A. F. Amling Co., re- planted the last house last week. The place is all in roses — 240,000 plants. All the .Eussell were carried over and several additional houses planted with this popular rose, which is said to have been the most profitable variety on the place this season in spite of the fact that a large part of the stock was young plants and with Bussell one must take time to grow a big, robust plant before the variety can be ex- pected to show its real worth. Two houses have been planted to Shawyer, a variety not heretofore grown, and one to Evelyn Nesbit, a corsage rose that impressed Otto Amling on a trip east. The stock was obtained from A. N. Pierson, Inc. To obtain the space, Ward was discarded, as the least profitable rose on the list; Kill- arney Brilliant was cut down, as al- ready having become a back number, and White Killarney was cut down, as in less demand than colored vari- Mrs. A.

The New York Florists' Club, at its meeting June 11, decided to cancel the arrangements for an outing to occupy the fourth day of the S. A. F. conven- tion in August. This action was taken after plans had been made for raising a large fund for entertainment purposes and was in deference to the opinion of conservative members, who felt that the times make such an affair unseemly, however unexceptionable it might be when the nation is not at war. A warm discussion, lasting over an hour and of intense interest, resulted in the elimination of the club's proposed entertainment feature, the bowling con- tests, the souvenir program, the Hotel Biltmore selection for the president's reception in favor of the Grand Central Palace, the boat trip to Coney Island and the banquet. The suggestion of the committee for the entertainment of the ladies was adopted, and expenses au- thorized also by the hotel, reception and decorating committees. Mr. O'Mara moved that all legitimate expenses be borne by the club and made a strong ad- dress in favor of the club's ultimate decisions. The principal speakers, pro and con, were F. E. Pierson, P. O'Mara, W. A. Manda, W. H. Siebrecht, Jr., Wal- lace E. Pierson, C. H. Totty, A. L. Mil- ler, F. H. Traendly, Chas. Schenck, and Messrs. Tuthill, Weston, Esler, Irwin, Kenney, Scott, Smith, Holt, Guttman, Vick, Eigby, Kessler, Schloss and Stew- art. Mr. Esler finally moved the dis- charge of the finance committee and the conflagration of the list of subscrip- tions, amounting, Chairman Pierson said, to "well over $2,000," of an an- ticipated $10,000. The importance of this decision cannot be overestimated, according to Chairman F. E. Pierson, who said: "It will affect the future of the 8. A. F. to its advantage in every way. Now the society will get down to hard work. Serious questions de- mand earnest consideration, and I am glad the New York Florists* Club has had the moral courage to act." Mispellaneous Business. The following gentlemen, proposed at the May meeting, were elected to mem- bership: S. Kahn, New Springville, S. I.; John Featherstone, Tarrytown, N. Y.; D. J. Pappas, Fred. Bergman, Eric Otto, Eeo M. Guido, New York. Votes of thanks were awarded the exhibits of tlie evening. These were a pot of Nierembergia gracilis, from P. W. Popp, of Mamaroneck, and a fine dis- play of German irises by the Garden Magazine. The by-laws were suspended and the trustees empowered to invest $5,000 of the club 's funds in Liberty bonds. Also, on motion of Emil Schloss, it was unani- mously voted that $1,000 of the club's funds be donated to the Bed Cross. Eesolutions on the deaths of Messrs. Bogert and Weeber were read, and the secretary was instructed to send copies to the bereaved families. Announcement was made of the death of Miss Maynard, of Great Neck, daugh- ter of W. E. Maynard, and a committee was appointed to draw up resolutions of sympathy. Mr. Thilow's Lecture. The lecture by J. Otto Thilow, of Philadelphia, on "Life and Flora of Hawaii, ' ' illustrated by original stere- opticon views, proved of great interest and a rising vote of thanks was enthusi- astically tendered the eloquent speaker. Visitors at the meeting were E. G. Hill, of Eichmond, Ind., and Samuel Murray, of Kansas City," brought east by a special session of Hail Association directors. Contrary to the usual custom of the club to cancel the July and August JuNB 14, 1917. The Florists^ Review 19 meetings, it was decided to have a regu- lar session of the club July 9. J. Austin Shaw. CHICAOO. The regular meeting of the Chicago Florists' Club was held at the Briggs House, June 7, 1917. Frank Felke, Gross Point, 111.; A. G. Humiston, of the Chi- cago Feed & Fertilizer Co., and H. V. Swenson, the publicity specialist, were elected to membership. E. Eisner, of Schiller 's, made application. George Asmus, chairman of the good- of-the-club committee, suggested that in view of the present agitation against all expenditures tor pleasures, the mat- ter of the club ' picnic bg laid on the table until next meeting, when times might be more propitious for such an outing. After some discussion it was decided to follow Mr. Asmus' sugges- tion. The transportation committee sub- mitted its report on transportation to the S. A. F. convention. Upon recom- mendation of the committee it was de- cided that members go by way of the New York Central, straight to New York city, any stop-overs, if desired, to be arranged by members individually for the return trip. Fred Lautenschlager, chairman of the garden movement committee, reported that as the garden bureau had discon- tinued its work it would be impossible for his committee to do anything with the proposition. He suggested that flo- rists dispose of such stock as they might have through the regular sales channels. Hilmer V. Swenson spoke on the co- operative advertising plan he is work- ing on. This plan is to get subscrip- tions from growers, wholesalers and re- tailers for daily newspaper advertise- ments of the flowers. This work was endorsed by the club and $50 for each of three ads to be run in this manner was subscribed. AMERICAN ROSE SOCIETY. The judges at the annual inspection of the National Eose Test Garden at Arlington Farm, Va., June 4, noted the following roses as worthy of special mention: Teas and hybrid teas: Laurent Carle, Gruss an Teplitz, Lieutenant Chaure; Mary, Countess of Ilchester; Mme.

Lange is the leader of the florists' section of a new organization of the general retail merchants of Chicago, which heretofore has had no associa- tion comparable to the ones that look after retailers' interests in many other cities.

W. LUDWIG. IN Pittsburgh the name of Ludwig is as closely associated with flowers as is the name of Carnegie with steel. J. W. Ludwig, the oldest of the four Ludwig broth- ers, has been a member of the trade in that city for forty years. He is now vice- president of the Ludwig Floral Co., which owns a retail store in Pittsburgh and a range of greenhouses at Castle Shannon, a suburb. It was in 1877 that Mr. Ludwig entered the flower and seed business with Joseph Richter under the firm name of Ludwig & Richter. Later this firm was dissolved and Mr. Ludwig and his brother Gustav formed a partnership, doing business in Allegheny market. When the Ludwig company was incorporated five years ago, Mr. Ludwig became its vice- president. He is the vice-president of the S. A. F. for western Pennsylvania and is a charter member of the Pittsburgh Florists' and Gardeners' Club. so evident to us of this day that we wonder how our forefathers could have held different opinions. And so one by one the remaining unorganized units are falling into line to reap the benefits which accrue from concerted action. Among the most recent organizations is that of the retail merchants of Chi- cago, to be known as the Chicago Re- tailers' Association, corporation papers to which have just been issued. Offices are at Room 400, 140 North Dearborn street. Officers are as follows: Presi- dent, F. W. Hardcastle, of Maurice L. Rothschild; vice-president, Charles Som- mers, of Klee Bros. & Co.; secretary, M. A. H. Turner, of F. E. Foster & Co.; treasurer, H. J. Fiddelke, of Lyon & Healy; assistant treasurer, E. C. Krie- ger, of the National City Bank of Chi- cago. The purpose of the association is to get the retail merchants of Chicago into an organization by means of which they can work for their own best interests, investigate sucli things as may be de- terrents to better business and bring forth anything which will make for greater efficiency and improved service. It is intended to accomplish this through the means of six bureaus, as follows: Collections and credit information, legislation and rates, employment; vigi- lance, for the prosecution of offenders of any nature; selling and sales, pub- licity and advertising. A board of gov- ernors will be established and any defi- nite trade having five or more members in the association will be entitled to a representative on this board. It is believed that this association will fill a long felt need of Chicago's retailers. Retail florists in Chicago are invited to investigate. Burlington, Vt. — August Gebiecke says the combination of a late season and shortage of help will keep him hustling to carry out his planting con- tracts. 20 The Florists^ Review June 14, 1917. r'M^^l^'llL>*Jty^l^l^*|tiiJll^^|^|ii^|t^<|i^M^ PROFIT IN PRIMULAS riiioirAiirnTirrriitTTtitTTTiTTTTitTTTiiTTiifniitr^^^^ • ONE OF TRADE'S BEST ITEMS. When Properly Grown. Primroses have become in recent year* an important source of revenue to retailers, many of whom use several thousands each year. The Chinese prim- roses are still a staple article and may be more so this season, as the supply of the German strains of the obconica type will be extremely short, owing to the lack of seed from German sources. P. malacoides increases in popularity each year, as the cultivation becomes better known. . There are few plants that return so large a profit, considering the few months required to grow them if plants are purchased. If they are grown from seed, the profit is still greater. A few hints as to their cultivation may be welcome, especially to those who are new in the trade. Ciilture of Primula CMnensls. The Chinese primrose. Primula chinen- sis fimbriata grandiflora, should be grown as cool as possible in summer. In the house in winter a temperature of 50 degrees or even somewhat lower will develop flowers of greatest size and bring out the colors to best advantage. "We grow our Chinese primroses during the summer in open frames, with a lath shading several feet above them. In such conditions they get the right dark green hue in the foliage, and, if given plenty of room, they shape themselves perfectly. The Chinese sorts love a rich, loamy, porous soil, with plenty of drainage. If specimens are wanted, planting out in a frame is the right plan. They lift easily. While the grandiflora strain of Chinese primulas is the one mostly used, it will pay to grow a few of the gi- gantea forms, which have large foliage and flowers. For a critical trade a few of the named varieties also are desira- ble. For February blooming the stel- lata sorts, with their smaller flowers, are to be recommended. Primula Obconica. The obconioa primrose, Primula ob- conica grandiflora, takes the lead of all. Enormous quantities are handled every season, and the sales are ever on the increase. Like all primroses, it likes moisture, and outside plants may be syringed several times a day in bright weather without injury to the foliage. We grow ours also under lath shades and sometimes in a pit, where they are shaded with boards about two inches apart. This heavier shade seems to be ideal for them. Use the same compost as for the Chinese varieties, but avoid leaf -mold, as this seems to produce yel- low edges on the leaves. Later, as they grow larger, the soil should be heavier, and it should be extra heavy, with good drainage, for the last transplanting be- fore they go into the house. Obconicas also want some shade in winter. Accord- ing to our experience, they do not like bright light at any time. They may easily be had in bloom for Thanksgiv- ing. They require a temperature of 55 to 60 degrees. Do not be in a hurry to sell yout plants when they have one or two flower stems; wait till they have at least six or more, and do not be afraid that the first flowers will not last, as they stay on for weeks in good condition. A plant with twelve or more, flower stems and good foliage will sell at any time and return more cash than the best carna- tions will bring from the same space in the whole season. We have seen florists who had no trouble to retail them for $1 each, and a wholesale price of 50 cents is nothing unusual. Imagine that, for a plant that occupies house room for only a few months! Grandiflora or Gigantea? We are often asked which is the bet- ter, the grandiflora or the gigantea type of obconicas. In our judgment, there is no preference. While the giganteas gen- erally have larger flowers, there are some varieties among the grandifloras, especially Appleblossom and P. rosea splendens, which are just as large as the largest of the gigantea type. It must not be forgotten that Primula obconica grandiflora and P. obconica gigantea are two distinct plants. Many seem to be under the impression that gigantea is simply a sport or an improvement of grandiflora, but this is wrong. Gigantea is a cross of P. obconica grandiflora and P. megasesefolia. . The grandifloras are far more florifer- ous than the giganteas and not nearly so particular as to treatment, and there is a greater variety of colors among them. Especially pleasing are those of the crispa type, with their waved and curled petals, and also the oculatas, with dark eyes. The giganteas all have large flowers and heavy foliage, and while some prefer them, others do not. We were fortunate enough last year to reserve our own seed-bearers, or we would be without any obconicas this season. Malacoides and Kewensis. The malacoides primroses like the same treatment as the obconicas, but they die off now and then. Various methods of checking this trouble are recommended, but we have not found any of these methods invariably suc- cessful. At some establishments I have seen the plants in positions to which I would not relegate the most worthless stock, and yet they were fine, full of health and bloom. Other growers give them the best place they have and still they die. Specimen malacoides plants are a beautiful sight, and small plants from 3-inch pots are almost indispensable for basket work. The range of colors was till lately restrictied to lavender shades, but now a clear, deep pink and a white have appeared, and also a grandiflora type in lavender, pink and white. The pink here is a bright Enchantress shade, and the improved white is much purer than the white of the type. They can be had in bloom at almost any time. Seedlings will start to flower when hardly three months old. Primula kewensis will not bloom till February. Its deep, clear yellow flow- ers make it highly desirable, but it does not seem to take the popular fancy and is most likely one of those plants which will be forgotten for a time and re- vived in the more distant future, when it will take the place it fully deserves. The primrose family is exceedingly large, but the hardy ones, with the ex- ception of Sim 's hybrid Polyanthas, are of little interest to the florist in winter. J. L. Schiller. I i SEASONABLE Mf jfg SUGGESTIONS ac^c ac^c 3^C ac^c I Hardy Larkspurs. No country florist with any space for outdoor plants can afford to be without a liberal batch of hardy larkspurs. There is no need of buying plants of named varieties in order to secure a choice strain, for by buying seed of named sorts, or even mixtures, from a reliable firm, magnificent varieties may be had. If you have overlooked these majestic plants, secure and sow a liberal packet or two of seeds now in a cold- frame. Transplant them when they are big enough to handle and set them out in nursery rows later, selecting, if pos- sible, a cool, moist day for the work. These seedlings will be quite strong before fall and many will flower. It is necessary to keep them a year or two, however, in order to have tall, noble spikes, such as are seen on older and well established clumps. There are many varieties of hardy larkspurs, but, whil» all are beautiful, I think that if I were restricted to one I would select Del- phinium Belladonna, of which seed is now purchasable, the seedlings coming perfectly true to type. One should stock up on these larkspurs; they are easy of culture and there is nothing finer in the whole family of hardy herbaceous plants. Aquilegias, or Columbines. How beautiful and graceful are the hardy columbines! In all the families of hardy herbaceous perennials I doubt if there is a more charming family than the columbines. They are not only at- tractive in a mixed border or rockery, but arrange delightfully in vases. The old-fashioned double and drooping-flow- ered types are a little the hardiest and most long-lived, but the long-spurred June 14, 1917. The Florists^ Review 21 varieties, like ceerulea, Skinneri, chry- santha, Haylodgensis and glandulosa, with a wide range of colors, make the finest garden plants. Of these chry- santha and its hybrids prove the hardi- est. Some of the other long-spurred varieties are better if treated as bien- nials rather than as true perennials. Spring-sown seed gives the best plants for fall planting, but there still is ample time to make a sowing of this most sat- isfactory and attractive hardy border plant. Digitalis, or Foxgloves. Where strong flowering plants are wanted of digitalis, or foxgloves, the present is a suitable time to make a lib- oral sowing of seeds. Sow the seeds in a coldframe, cover them lightly, water them carefully and shade until they have germinated. Careful watering in the early stages of growth is necessary, as the little seedlings damp off easily. Good varieties of foxgloves to sow are Ivory's Spotted and gloxiniaeflora. While foxgloves are usually treated as biennials, they are much finer if carried over a third season, when they make big, handsome clumps. BALTIMORE. John Cook, Veteran Rosarian. [This is the first installment of Tate's story of the life and achievements of John Cook, of Haltimore, famous as a producer of new varie- ties of roses. The second will appear in an early issue.] My long delayed visit to our friend John Cook has been made, for Saturday I spent a mighty pleasant afternoon with him. Now, this is the first time I had seen him in almost twenty years. He is now 84 years of age, yet I found him hale and hearty and able to superin- tend his fine place. Although the great- er part of the management falls to his two sons, he is a mighty good man to have about in an advisory capacity. Bom in Germany. But here I am running ahead of my story. Let us begin at the beginning of the life of the man who has done as much to put Baltimore on the map as any other son she may have. For wher- ever Eadiance, My Maryland, Francis Scott Key and Baltimore, itself, are grown, and there is no corner of the United States or Canada where they are not, any one of these varieties suggests the metropolis of the south. It was in the little town of Freiburg, on the Ehine, that John Cook first saw the light of day in 1833. At the age of 14 his education (that is, the part he acquired in school, for he told me Satur- day that it is still going on) came to an end and he started to learn the flo- rists' business. Now, instead of being paid for his labors, he was obliged to pay for the opportunity to learn the trade. So after serving his three years he spent tliree years in the nursery business. This brought hinl to the age where he was eligible for compulsory military duty and so, like many more of his countrymen, he turned his back on the land that had given him birth to be- gin a new life in a new land. His First Baltimore Position. It was in 1853 that this German boy, 20 years of age, with no assets but a rugged constitution and a thorougli knowledge of the florists' and nursery business, landed in New York and se- cured a position with David Clark, of John Cook. that city, with whom he stayed about a year. Then he drifted to Baltimore. Now, in those days Eobert J. Halliday's es- tablishment on Pennsylvania avenue was a sort of training school for young gardeners coming to this country. So it was natural that John Cook, in our city without work and with only a poor command of the language, should find in this old Scotchman a friend. As we talked over the past and Mr. Cook was telling me what a taskmaster liis em- ployer was, he said that in all of his 84 years he had never found a truer friend than Eobert J. Halliday. It was not long before. Mr. Halliday found out the ability of the young Ger- man, to whom he was paying the prince- ly sum of $10 per month and his board, and one day he told him: "Jolui, I am not able to pay you what you are wortli, but when the right man comes along I am going to put you on a private place. ■ ' Cook saw some of his fellow-employ- ees go out to now positions and was be- ginning to tliink he was forgotten. But one day J. Howard McHenry, a man of unlimited means and refined tastes, who was about to erect some new conserva- tories to cost about $10,000, a big sum in those days, wanted a gardener who could superintend tlie construction and stocking of tliem and asked Mr. Halli- day if he had such a man. He was told he had. John Cook was called into the office. Ho was then 22 years of age. As Mr. McHenry looked him over he said: "Wliy, Mr. Halliday, I want a man of some experience, not a boy." I imagine I can see him now in his broadclotli coat and his long pointed stock collar as he replied: "Mr. Mc- Henry, you asked me to recommend you a gardener. Knowing just what you want and just what will be required of him, if I did not know that this young man would prove satisfactory in every respect I would not recommend him." Well, Mr. Cook was engaged at $25 per month. But when he went to the office after his -money, and the money to pay his assistants, Mr. McHenry gave him $35 instead of the $25 he had been engaged for. This place is still one of the show places about Baltimore. His next place wns with W. F. Frick, whose fine estate passed to his daugh- ter, who was the wife of Eobert Garrett, president of tlie B. & O. E. E., and again Mr. Cook was givt'ii carte blanche to make this one of the finest places about tlie city. Upland grounds stand today a monument to tlie skill and ability of John Cook. Hillside a Labor of Love. But across Edmondson avenue was a tract of about thirty acres that attract- ed Mr. Cook's attention because it was hilly. This brings us to Hillside, the liome and range of John Cook today. But before we talk about the commer- cial end, let us look for a few moments at the part whir-li is about liis homo. As you sit on the porch and look over the well-kept lawn, with its fine specimens of trees of various kinds of hardwood — most of tliem there before the owner — fine, stately evergreens and a well- curved drive, you cannot help but real- ize that there is somotliiiig more than the skill and ability of the landscape gardener here displayed — the genuine affection of tlio man who is building a home for those he loves best. As he sits 22 The Florists' Review Jlne 14, 1917. on his porch and looks over this scene in the sunset of a most useful life, is it any wonder that he looks upon these trees and shrubs on this lawn much tlie same as his own children? But we must be getting over to the greenhouses. Here we find the two young men, each of them married and with homes on the place. Most of the houses had been torn out and new stock was being planted. On the side of a fairly steep hill, lying well to the sun, is about 60,000 feet of glass devoted to carnations, violets, orchids, palms and roses. Every rose that is grown here was produced on the place. Now, I think this is a record that would be hard to duplicate in this country. Let us call the roll and see just what he has of his own production to choose from: Marion Dingee, Annie Cook, Mrs. Robt. Garrett, Baltimore, Enchan- ter, Cardinal, Madonna, My Maryland, Eadiance, Francis Scott Key and Ad- miral Schley. Then there is his latest new one, which is something of the color of La France, but a much freer bloomer, with a better habit and fine foliage. Perhaps J. Horace Mc- Farland, whose business it is to de- scribe flowers, came nearest to it when he called it a glorified La France. This new rose is to go out in the spring of 1918 and, as we sat and talked about it, I told him if I were godfather for this fine new addition to his already long list of winners, I would name it John Cook. For what could be more fitting than to erect such a monument to the man who has accomplished more in floriculture than any other man I know Tate. INDIANAPOLIS. The Market. There is a superabundance of stock in the market. Roses are extremely plen- tiful at from $2 to $8 per hundred, while in large quantities they may be had at practically the buyer 's own price. Carnations, too, are in heavy supply and good stock is obtainable at $2 per hundred. Easter lilies are so numerous that the bottom has dropped out of the prices, $8 per hundred being the aver- age. A few callas remain, but the sea- son for them is at an end. Snapdragons are in short supply, with practically no demand. Peonies have loaded and re- loaded the market. Only the finest varieties are receiving any attention, with festiva maxima in the lead. Orchids are scarce, but valley con- tinues to hold an important place in the market. As sweet peas have lost in quality, they -also have lost in popularity and other flowers have taken their place. Daisies, pyrethrum and outdoor del- phinium are becoming more popular and plentiful. Gladioli in the inferior grades are plentiful, but in small de- mand, while the larger, fancy varieties are less abundant and are in excellent demand. No fancy ferns are to be had, but the new southern ferns are in. Potted plants are scarce, but those in the mar- ket meet with ready sale. Various Notes. June weddings still are holding the center of the stage, and upon these locaj retailers are concentrating their efforts. A number of unusual and at- tractive decorations have been made, causing much admiring comment. Out- door weddings have been popular, al- lowing the use of the larger and more effective flowers. Large-flowering peo- nies, daisies and white roses have been used as much as the traditional orchids and valley. A. F. J. Baur has returned from St. Louis, where he attended a meeting of the National Flower Show committee Mr. Baur is going to enjoy a month's vacation — if a change of occupation can be called such — as he has been called to serve as a juror in the Superior court during the next month. Rose Brandlein, daughter of Martin Brandlein, and Harry Bohne were mar- ried June 9. Bertermann Bros. Co. shipped 15,000 peonies to Chicago last week. The retail store reports a busy week, trade holding up well. Mr. Dudderstadt, of A. Wiegand's Sons Co., has been ill. One of Mr. Dud- derstadt's twin babies also has been seriously sick. John Grande, Jr., Gus Bookedis and Edwin Temperley have returned from an automobile trip to Chicago. The re- turn trip was made in a steady down- pour of rain. At Lebanon the roads were under water and the streams all but overflowing their banks. The city market has been having an excellent business, especially in bedding stock. The warm weather has helped the plant business and porch boxes, beds and hanging baskets are making the city attractive. E. E. T. FORT WAYNE, IND. The Market. Business has been most satisfactory during the last week. The supply of flowers of all kinds has been large enough to meet the demand, which in the main has consisted of wedding, com- mencement and funeral work. Bedding plants are in good demand, and orders for window boxes are numerous. Land- scape work, also, has continued well. American Beauty and Russell roses are in good supply, thanks to the warmer weather, the quality rating good. Other roses also are plentiful, especially Shawyer, Sunburst and Ward. Carnations are in large supply, but the demand for them is good. Sweet peas, marguerites, yellow daisies and snap- dragons are good property. Home- grown peonies are in the market and used largely on decorations. There is a splendid demand for them. Easter lilies are to be had in almost any quan- tity and gladioli are becoming more and more conspicuous. On tlie miscellaneous list are outdoor valley, larkspurs, deut- zias, irises and others. Orchids are in fair supply, with Mossiae the most plen- tiful of the cattleyas. Baby gladioli are new to the local market. Various Notes. A. J. Lanternier & Co. are cutting a fine lot of Spencer sweet peas. They have been busy with a large amount of wedding and funeral work. Mr. and Mrs. E. Lanternier and Mr. and Mrs. Clem Lanternier motored to Columbia City last week, where they spent the week end with relatives. F. J. Knecht & Co. are cutting a fine lot of Russell roses, in Avhich they spe- cialize. The landscape department of W. J. & M. S. Vesey has been exceedingly busy this spring. It has just finished a large piece of work at the summer home of Jean Stratton Porter, the nov- elist, at Rome City, Ind. Edgar WenningTioff reports the de- mand for wedding flowers exceedingly good. Potted plants of American Beau- ty roses have been selling well and the trade in hanging baskets and porch boxes has been brisk. The Doswell Floral Co. has been hav- ing its share of wedding work, having had three large affairs in one day. Fu- neral work has been good. The Flick Floral Co. is cutting a large quantity of Shawyer roses, carnations and peonies. The force has been busy with weddings, the work last Sunday requiring a full day. The wedding of Miss Mildred Louise Flick, daughter of Mrs. Alice Flick- Shive, to Leo Buchanan, took place at St. Patrick's church June 6. Attending the bride were her sisters, Mrs. Richard Blossom, as matron of honor, and Miss Marguerite Flick, as maid of honor. Miss Georgia Alice Flick was flower girl. The decorations at the church and house were elaborate. After the wedding trip the young couple will reside at 615 Oak- wood place. Miss C. B. Flick and Miss Helen F. Patten, of Toledo, O., were here to attend the wedding. B. F. MONTREAL, CAN. Rapid strides have been made in this busy city during the last decade. Flo- rists have arrived in increasing numbers and the old-timers are still in the van. Few pretentious stores are seen, as much of the business is done from the green- houses. McKenna, Campbell and Bain make attractive window displays. George Hopton and Hall & Robinson are downtown; the Wilshire boys uptown; Joseph Bennett is at Lachine; and then the Cut Flower Exchange. They seem to do a more conservative business than even their brethren in Toronto. I must not overlook the Murray es- tablishment, the oldest, I believe, in the Dominion, and ably conducted by the daughter of the founder. The seedsmen report a busy season, though backward. The "W. Rennie Co. and Ewing & Co. report excellent busi- ness. H. L. Dery has moved to more commodious quarters at 21 Notre Dame, east. Dupuy & Ferguson have taken the adjoining store and intend making the two into one during the summer. This firm is located directly opposite the French market, to which Archibald Ferguson tells me farmers to the num- ber of 700 bring their produce. "This will convey some idea of the extent of market gardening here," added Mr. Ferguson, who, by the way, has succeeded to the business, but will retain the old firm name. A nursery has been established some thirty-five miles east, along the St. Lawrence river — forty acres of rich, loamy soil that has never been disturbed. It has been part- ly planted to more than 300,000 shrubs and hardy perennials, transplanted di- rect from flats. To give an idea of the secludedness of the place, a house stands upon the grounds that has walls four feet in thickness, a building believed to be about 250 years old, which served as a fort in Indian times. Mr. Fergu- son mentioned that there is no nursery in the province of Quebec and that he believes his venture will fit in well with the flourishing seed business. W.

Please describe the best method of making a hotbed for starting sweet po- tato plants. Mention the kind of soil and give other necessary particulars. We have tried twice, but the tubers all rotted each time. G. M. T. S.— 111. A hotbed for sweet potatoes, in the in- quirer's latitude, should be ready for the tubers not later than May 1. Such a bed can be made the same as for other purposes, but a deep one is preferable, in the form of a dug-out or pit, made by digging a hole about eighteen inches deep and a trifle larger than the size of the frame. This trench should be filled with fresh horse manure which has been hauled up previously and turned and well shaken up once or twice. The manure is tramped into the pit until it is well filled and well packed. Then the frame is placed on top, and more manure packed all around it to keep it warm around the sides and ends. If the manure is not good the hotbed will be a failure, but it is presumed that the inquirer knows something about hot- beds. If the manure is burning dry, it needs a light watering, or it will be ruined. After placing the frame on the ma- nure, spread on top of the manure about an inch or two of saifd" — not soil, as the inquirer seems to suppose. Then put the sashes on and wait to see how the bed is going to act. In a few days the temperature will run extremely high, and the potatoes should not be put in until the temperature of the manure falls back to about 90 degrees. To get the temperature, put the thermometer well down into the manure. "When the bed is ready to plant, place the sweet potatoes on the sand as closely as they can be laid without having them touch one another. Put sand on top of them until they are completely covered. Then sprinkle the sand and put the sashes on again. Ventilate the bed each day, according to how bright and warm or windy the weather is, and water when needed to keep the sand moist. Do not open too much. Close them up early in the afternoon, so as to run tlie bed warm. When the plants arc large enough to sell, a sash is lifted off and the plants are pulled off by holding the sand and the potato down witli one hand and catching hold of the sprouts, low in the sand, with the other liand. They pull easily, and the old sweet potatoes will keep on producing more such sprouts or plants until late in July. Take the plants to the shed, count tliem out in bundles of fifty or 100 and roll them up in sphagnum moss and papers, like rooted cuttings. They do not keep well and should be planted out soon. It is best not to pull them until the customers want them. It is well to have the bed come on early enough, as they can easily be held back by giving more ventilation if they are ready a week or so too early. However, the writer has seen the first batch pulled and thrown away when entirely too early. F. R, Every florist needs the Album of De- signs.

The weather, no doubt, has kept the supply of stock checked to a cer- tain extent. Sweet peas have suffered considerably due to the continued rainy weather. Boses are in excellent condition and quite sufficient. Gradu- ations and weddings always tend to curtail an oversupply. Carnations, too, are arriving in extra heavy consign- ments, but some of the blooms show the effect of weather conditions, partic- ularly the White Wonder and Enchant- ress Supreme varieties, "Valley is plentiful and orchids are quite suffi- cient for all present demands. Corn- flowers still are realizing a big demand for combinations with red and white flowers. The supply of greens fluc- tuates at present. ^ Various Notes. S. D. Greene, of H. Bayersdorfer & Co., Philadelphia, Pa., called on the trade last week. David Scott, of Corfu, is groyning a crop of tomatoes in his large sweet pea house. The plants ore thrifty and look exceptionally fine. Mr. and Mrs. W. J. Palmer spent the week end motoring to Sacket Harbor, N. Y., where one of the training camps is located. The Buffalo Florists' Club held its mpnthly meeting Junu 5, at the Elec- tric building. C. F. Guenther, of Ham- burg, gave an interesting talk on the culture of chrysanthemums and carna- tions. Sidney R. Wells, gardener for Robert W. Pomeroy^ WilliamsviUe, N. Y., gave an educational talk on orchids. A. E. OBITUARY. Charles W. Unglaub. C. W. Unglaub, one of the best known of the Springfield, O., trade, died June 4, a victim of tuberculosis. Since the dis- posal of his main range of houses in 1912, Mr. Unglaub had devoted his time to the development of another green- house business on Hillside avenue, a short distance from the city. The de- cedent, who was 44 years of age, is sur- vived by his wife and two children. J. D. Fletcher. J. D. Fletcher, head of the firm of Fletcher & Fletcher, florists and bulb specialists of Hood River, Ore., died at his home recently, following an ill- ness of nearly a year. Mr. Fletcher had recently returned from southern Cali- fornia, where he spent the winter and spring in search of health. He was 58 years of age, having been born at Green Bay, Wis. His wife is the only survivor. Clarence L. Metcalf. Clarence L. Metcalf, a retail florist with a store at 1529 Broadway, Brook- lyn, N. Y., died early Monday morning, June 11, at a private hospital. Death was caused by a complication of diseases. Mr. Metcalf leaves a widow, one child, his mother and brother. The funeral services were held from the home, 298 Hancock street, June 13. Many florists attended. The floral of- ferings from friends in and out of the trade were numerous. Mr. Metcalf was a son of Richard Metcalf, who, before his death six years ago, was a florist in Brooklyn for thirty- five years. Mr. Metcalf had conducted the store since his father's death.

V. B. Fclthousen, of Schenectady, N. Y., reports a record business in out- of-town orders. He predicts the usual heavy summer demand for the Boston fern. Fred Goldring, of Slingerlands, N.

One of the best table ferns is Polystichum coriaceum. which is almost lost sierht of bv fern soecial- ists. W. W. Hannell, of Watervliet, N.

Judeinsr bv the exueri- ence Memorial dav and orders to fill later, business is coming along in good shape. Sambrook Bros., of Troy, N.

Barrett, of Troy, had his usual big assortment of stock for Memo- rial day and, between much funeral work, had his share of patronage. Henry Schrade, Saratoga Springs, X. Y., looks for fully as good a season as formerly, judging by planting orders placed. The bulk of "stock is out, but late tulips hold back much that other- wise would be finished for the season. Alfred Goldrina, of Cobleskill. N. Y.. observed that King: Sol made a differ- ence of several hundred per cent to the plant business Memorial day. What looked like a frost turned out to be a banner harvest. Henry Weston, of Hempstead. N. Y., said that business Memorial dav over- shadowed the ogre of the depleted coal pile, and that, with a continuation of this fine weather, a good planting: sea- son is looked for. The Joseph Heacock Co., of Wyncote, Pa., is noted for palms, and after look- ing over the vast stock one realizes that preparedness is well exemplified there. Florists will not have to be rationed in this respect, at least for some time to come. Cibotium Schiedei grown for specimens are seen in large numbers and last, but by no means least, although seldom noted, is a stock of cattlevas. They are grown on tables, arranged to face the south.

The Review brings results. What is there that could take the place of chrysanthemums in the grow- ers' scheme of crop rotation? There are many who will approve the action of the New York Florists' Club in deciding to cancel the outing with which the S. A. F. convention usually has closed. This is the season of the year when Mrs. Russell is an especially satisfactory rose for grower, retailer and the public. It should be cut more fully developed than any other rose. The man who loses out on a good order should console himself that "tl\ere are in the sea as big fish as ever were caught," examine his tackle for defects and bait a fresh hook. Plan to plant a house of cucumbers and use vacant space in a cool house for lettuce whe;n the season arrives; you not only will be doing your "bit," but unless all signs fail there will be money in it. For the florist who is retailing 4-inch geraniums at $1.50, or even $1.75 per dozen, it may be said that at least he is not losing any sleep because the income tax has been boosted; it would not affect him if the exemption were still further redueed. The man who goes into the florists' business without experience in it rarely finds it as profitable as he supposed, but the young man who makes a start for himself after a sufficient training as rare- ly scores a failure, and in those rare cases faihire usually is due to insufficient ex- perience in handling money. CROPS AND PRICES. Florists who do business in the com- munities dependent on agriculture know that good crops mean good busi- ness for them, and that good crops and good prices are a combination that can not be beaten as an assurance of pros- perity. Consequently, the government crop report issued June 9 is of much in- terest to many in the trade. It shows the condition of the various crops June 1, expressed in percentage of their ten- year averages (not the normal), was as follows: Pears 116.5 Spring wlieat 98.1 Apples 112.3 Alfalfa 98.1 Field beans 109.0 Watermelons 98.1 Sugar beets 104.5 Clover 96.6 Peaches 102.4 Hay 96.3 Cabbages 100.9 Oranges 94.4 Onions 100.9 Rye 93.8 Cantaloupes 100.7 Pasture 93.6 Oats 100.1 Cotton 87.9 Field peas 99.9 Winter wlieat 87.1 Barley 99.2 Blackberries and Average all 94.2 raspberries 98.3 June 1 the index figure of prices was about 99.8 per cent higher than a year ago, 97.8 per cent higher than two years ago, and 107.2 per cent higher than the average of the last nine years June 1. and plants during the war, but it may come, just as it has in other countries. The possibility is worth considering. PUT YOUR CITY ON TRADE MAP. The Review aims to publish weekly or biweekly news-letters from every important trade center and this is a call for volunteers. Correspondents are wanted to put the following cities on the trade map: Washington, D. C. New Orleans, La. Albany, N. Y. St. Paul, Minn. Louisville, Ky. Syracuse, N. Y. Utica, N. Y. Memphis, Tenn. Anyone who gets around among flo- rists in these or any other city not reg- ularly represented in the news columns is invited to write to the editor about it. WILL UNCLE SAM FOLLOW SXHT? Thoughtful men in the trade are watching the development of the gov- ernment's policies with special interest because all the other great nations at war have seen fit to restrict interna- tional commerce in bulbs, seeds and plants; the question is, will the United States follow suit? England has prohibited the importa- tion of bulbs, not only from neutral countries, but also from the allied coun- tries of Japan and France. Imports of plants and nursery stock also are re- stricted. France has stopped the im- portation of bulbs from Holland. So has Germany. All the countries of western Europe have prohibited exports of certain classes of seeds and license the shipment of others only when cer- tain conditions are complied with. The international plant trade, as well as the bulb trade, is almost at a standstill in Europe, by reason of official embargo. Will the government of the United States ever say to a free people that they shall not buy bulbs from Holland or Japan? A few months ago it seemed unlikely, but no one then supposed the people of this country ever would face government control of our food or our fuel, both of which are being studied by recently appointed federal commis- sions. There may as yet be no commit- tee on the restriction of the expenditure of money for the importation of bulbs MAY WE DO AS MUCH FOR YOU? P.uffing up one 's own work i^ a grand little indoor pastime. But the big thing is what others have to say. Hence, to convince non-advertisers of The Review's economy and efficiency as a ' * silent salesman ' ' we now and then print expressions from those who pay the bills for Review advertising. Note how the following letters were all written during one week: I am enclosing check to balance my advertising account, and I wish to say that the ads have kept me so busy during the last two months that now it is necessary to discontinue then), for I have had to return money orders unfilled on ac- count of the lack of stock. — Evergreen Farm, C.

Enclosed find my check for $1.50 in payment of one year's subscription to The Review. I can- not do business without The Review. — Baxter Greenhouses, S. Morgan, manager, Le Roy, N. Y., June 1, 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 PLEASANT NEWS HERE. Florists who have expressed alarm over the economy crusade launched by the government probably will find some consolation in the knowledge that this war measure now is meeting with power- ful opposition. The cry is raised in many quarters that any change in the buying habits of the nation is fraught with grave danger. A member of the National Council of Defense is quoted in the papers as saying that "extrava- gance is bad, but an indiscriminating economy is worse. . . . We want more business, not less." Furthermore, econ- omists are wont to point out that eco- nomic conditions, not sentiment, make business, and ev.«ry merchant knows that a spirit of economy, under present conditions, is largely a matter of senti- ment. When talk goes around about economy, or about a scare, or a panic, there is a short time during which the consumer holds back his money. After that brief period of emotionalism he goes ahead and spends his money as he gets it. And everybody seems to be "getting it" now, or how is one to ex- plajin tlie good business nearly all florists are^ doing? CHICAGO. Tke Market. The condition of the market remains unchanged in its essential factors. Stock of nearly all kinds is plentiful, while trading is slow, with prices on the whole unsatisfactory. June 8 the market, however, was considerably im- proved and this bettered condition lasted over the end of the week, but by June 11 lethargy again prevailed. Shipping business has held up a little more consistently than the city trade, but average prices have been low, partly due to the low quality of much of the stock on the market. American Beauties are in short sup- JDNB 14. 1917. The Florists^ Review 25 You Can Get Beauties Here EAUTIES are, perhaps, the scarcest item on this market — and most in request.

POPULAR ROSES The market's largest supply of Milady, Ophelia, Killarney Brilliant and Russell and quality that is, as usual, a shade ahead of any other important supply. You will hold your customers if you use Amling's roses. GOOD CARNATIONS Amling's Carnations are kno^n as the product of the most expert growers in the middle west. The quality this June is above the average for the season. The supply is large. VALLEY Don't let yoiir competitor get ahead of you — he orders Valley here. IRIS For basket work, nothing is finer than Spanish Iris — white, yellow, lavender. SWEET PEAS The largest and finest supply in the west. You will find our Peas ready sellers. All colors — nothing but Spencers. PEONIES Good Peonies are by no means overplentiful, especially white. The Amling quality will be hard to equal. QUALITY OR PRICE? Quality is remembered long after price is forgotten— it does not pay to handle "cheap" stock. Amling's prices never are higher than others ask if able to supply an equal grade.

Preference, generally speaking, is given to Russell, of which variety large cuts of fair quality stock are arriving. The color has faded as the result of warm, bright weather. Next call is generally for red roses, Milady being in biggest demand, but the supply of red roses is lighter than other colors. There are great quantities of short Killarneys on the market, but they move slowly. Car- nations are in tremendous supply and drag heavily. Much of the stock arriv- ing is of poor quality. Valley is a little more plentiful than last week and the supply is just about large enough to meet the demand. There are not many Easter lilies and they sell poorly. Callas also are in small supply, but stock arriving moves slowly at low prices. Orchids are scarce. Stocks are in small supply. Good quality stocks sell fairly well. Although there are plenty of peas, there is not much good stock coming in. What high qual- ity peas do arrive, however, find a fair market. Gladioli are selling fairly well, Pendleton leading. There are quite a number of double poeticus on the mar- ket. They sell slowly, however. Peonies are in large supply, some ex- cellent quality stock arriving. Pink is in great predominance, although white is beginning to arrive in larger quanti- ties. Peonies sell fairly well. The first of the local crops commenced to come in last week. Lilacs are at the end of their season. Snapdragons sell poorly. Quite a bit of candytuft is arriving. New southern ferns have relieved the scarcity of east- ern stock.

Spencer is one of those fortunate gentlemen to whom clear vision has been given; he is able to distinguish be- tween essentials and non-essentials, and he does not permit himself to become too hurried for thought. Mr. Spencer says the flower business, especially in the cities, undoubtedly has been affected by the use of the word economy by public men when all they meant was to disparage the waste of food and fuel. But Mr. Spencer thinks the campaign for "economy" has spent its force. The growers have had a good season, Mr. Spencer thinks. He says a few days of glut causes them to forget that for eight solid months flowers have been none too plentiful. To get better prices, one must ask better prices, he says, but in the end wholesale and re- tail prices, at least in Chicago, are fixed by the law of supply and demand. If growers are not satisfied with values, says Mr. Spencer, the remedy is to be found in growing better flowers, which would mean not so many flowers, which will automatically bring better prices. The trouble, says Mr. Spencer, lies in the fact that not all the growers whose object has been quantity production can see that it may be time to change the program. Various Notes.

"June thus far has been better than any previous June we ever had," he added. One day last week a well-dressed man ordered flowers and change for $20 bill from August Lange, 25 East Madison street.

In the three separate ranges of Marks Bros., whose headquarters are at 4827 "West Warrick avenue, 400 tons of coal "Were burned last season. It is figured that something more than this quantity will be required next season, because one range of new houses did not call for heat until the middle of the season now ending. J. C. Marks estimates the in- creased cost for next season at more than 100 per cent, and he figures that all the pot plant growers will need bet- ter prices than heretofore if they are to make anything out of next year's work. Last season they put up three new Dietscli houses, witli a Kroeschcll boiler. It had been hoped to add to the range this year, but the plans are in abeyance awaiting a change in conditions. M.

They also have a splendidly flowered lot of ram- bler roses that are being distributed among the retail stores. Andrew McAdams, Jacksonville, Fla., an old-time florist, was in the city last week visiting friends. Emil Buettner is not one of the growers who believe in early planting. He says he never has had his best re- turns from roses that were benched early in the season and that, on the other hand, his best results always have been with late planted stock. Miss 0. A.

Business in general was good last week, the number of orders for gradua- tion exercises being far in advance of those of any previous year. Some of the schools had regulation bouquets, but these did not take so wdl. More baskets than ever before wei*e sent as gifts. The greater activity kept the market cleared of stock throughout the week, and stock of all kinds was plenti- ful. Greens now are scarce; the only good green to be had now is home- grown Sprengeri, for which good prices arc realized. Roses are of good qual- ity, but sell too cheaply. The same may be said of carnations and lilies. The large supply of peonies arriving hurts the sale of greenhouse cut stock. Various Notes. W, J. Barnes reported a rushing busi- ness in cut flowers, bedding work and decorations. He furnished a large number of palms for graduation exer- cises, and funeral work was above nor- mal for the week. Mr. Barnes now is potting some fine August-sown cycla- men seedlings into 8-inch pots. A. Newell says graduation exercises are becoming a better thing for florists. More fancy baskets and corsage bou- quets were sent out than the common bouquet. Samuel Murray reported that orders for graduation bouquets increased con- siderably over those of last year.

PHILADELPHIA. The Market. The week ending June 13 saw a tre- mendous supply of flowers. There were no prices. The wonder was that the market could absorb such a vast quan- tity of material. The peony season is at its height, but even without the peo- nies, the market is supplied to an extent seldom seen. Several wholesale houses handled more carnations in this one week than they have ever done before. The number ran up into figures of ex- traordinary size. The volume of business was quite large, but the average price was so low that it could not prove satisfactory to the growers. There was a certain amount of shipping business and some local orders that gave the market what little strength it possessed. Then came the quantity orders, mainly from buyers who will take a chance when the price is attractive. The wholesalers found that the only thing to do was to make the price low enough to suit these buy- ers. They are not too discriminating, taking everything just as it comes, good, bad and indifferent, and they usually get a certain portion of each. There were, of course, some flowers that were not in oversupply. Valley, for instance, sold fairly well at list prices; but valley was not always satisfactory, unfortunately. Then, too, some Beau- ties, Russells, Hadleys and Ophelias were in demand; with them were choice selections of other flowers. To these must be added the rather limited supply of outdoor or frame-grown sweet peas. They are extremely fine when not rain- soaked. The indoor peas are getting poor. Peonies have been a great help to the retailers. It is proverbial, how- ever, that peonies, when too late for Memorial day, are a terrible trial to the wholesalers. They are so cumber- some and so cheap that the cost of han- dling them on a commission basis is a serious expense. BERGER BROS. Extra Ftee-ORCHID SWEET PEAS-*" Color.

A careful survey of the field leads to the belief that the spring plant busi- uess is below par at this time. It is true that there was activity at Memorial day, that nearly all the geraniums in flower were sent out; but it is also true the cold, wet weather during May caused so much delay in planting out that today the volume of sales is be- hind that of previous years. While much was expected in June and some of the hopes may still be realized, it will take hard work to make up the ground lost. The decline in the demand for soft- wooded bedding plants is due partly to the war scare, with its absorbing inter- est in vegetable planting, and partly to the change in public taste, now lean- ing toward Darwin tulips and peren- nials. Geraniums have felt the lack of support; so have cannas and nearly all of the small flowering plants. The wholesale prices on these plants have varied more this season than ever be- fore. Some of the growers asked and obtained the advanced prices until the end of the first week in June, to the no small benefit of their returns. Others asked last year's prices. Still others were between. Today the prices have fallen and with such excellent stock they afford unusual values to those with belated orders. Various Notes. Charles E.

Benedict Gibbs finds it hard to say kind words about market conditions. The Lansdowne flower show, held June 9, was highly successful. PhO. ST. LOUIS. The Market. The market was crowded with stock last week and the demand, although large, was not equal to the supply. In consequence of this condition, prices suffered greatly. The glut was in roses, carnations and sweet peas. Eoses moved sluggishly and cleared with dif- ficulty. Killarney came in poor quality and the demand was mostly for prime stock in Eussell, Ophelia and Sunburst. Good Beauties are scarce. Carnations are of good quality for this time of the year and $1.50 per hun- dred was the top price for selects. In lots of 1,000 they could be bought for $1 per hundred. Sweet peas were in oversupply and did not clean up. There is also an oversupply of marguerites, lilies, irises, gladioli and cornflowers, all from outdoors. Peonies are about over for the season. Lily of the valley is in big demand, but is scarce. So are or- chids. Business during the first part of the month was good. Weddings, gradua- tions and college commencements are expected to create a strong demand for all kinds of stock during the next two weeks. Growers' Association Meeting. The St. Louis County Growers' Asso- ciation meeting June 6, at the Eleven Mile House, drew a large attendance, it being the date for the installation of the new officers.

The invitation was accepted and the vis- itors thanked. The next meeting of the association will be held on a date to be set later, as the regular day is the Fourth of July. Flower Show Committee Meets. The National Flower Show commit- tee met at the Jefferson hotel June 9 and 10 and selected Moolah Temple, 3821 Lindell boulevard, as the place for holding the National Flower Show in April, 1918. Besides the temple, a building will be erected on a lot lo5x 300 feet adjoining it, and will be used to house the exhibits. This action eliminates the Coliseum, where it was at first proposed to hold the show. The change was necessary because of finan- cial difficulties which involved the Coliseum. The members of the committee at the meeting were: George Asmus, of Chi- cago, who is the chairman; E. C. Kerr, of Houston, Tex., president; John Young, of New York city, secretary, and J. J. Hess, of Omaha, Neb., treas- urer of the S. A. F.; Patrick Welch, of Boston, Mass.; Adolph Farenwald, of Roslyn, Pa., and A. F. J. Baur, secre- tary of the American Carnation Soci- ety, of Indianapolis, Ind. The com- mittee was met by D. S. Geddis, tem- porary chairman of the local flower show committee, who had made the ar- rangements for the meeting and for the entertainment of the visitors. The committee expressed satisfaction with the building selected for the show and with the prospects for a success- ful exhibition. They left for their liomes June 10. Various Notes.

The market is full of peonies, irises, syringas and many other spring flowers. Business seems to be holding up well. The glut of roses did not last long and there is just about enough coming in to take care of the demand. Carnations and lilies are plentiful. There was some fine outdoor valley last week, but it is done. The wholesalers are cleaning up better than usual at this time of the year and the retailers have had no let- down, many weddings helping to keep business good. Various Notes. Mrs. E. A. Williams had a fine window of cattleyas, about 400 of them being artistically arranged. The window at- tracted a great deal of attention. The A. W. Smith Co. offered cash prizes to high school students for the best street car ad card and received a great number of creditable designs, which made it liard to select the winners.

The cut flower trade is at a low ebb now, with plenty of stock coming in. Roses are of good quality, but the large supply moves slowly. Carnations are poor, and plentiful. There are few be- sides White Enchantress. Peonies are so abundant that they do not clear at extremely low prices and many of them are sent to the hospitals. Sweet peas have been rather scarce and not enough to supply the demand. Valley is in such small supply that white sweet peas are being used as substitutes for it. Some gladioli are making their appearance and are sold quickly. Vegetable planting has hurt business some, but the spring season as a whole has been satisfactory to everyone. J. M.

There has been during the last week, and still is, the worst glut of flowers Boston has seen for a long time. Since Memorial day the demand appears to have steadily dwindled, and as a result prices have slumped heavily, and there is a large, unsalable surplus of stock. Roses and carnations are only cleared at low prices in thousand lots, although a limited number of fine quality blooms realize fair prices. Sweet peas are abundant and of splendid quality, but the sales are slow. Darwin tulips and such narcissi as poeticus and albus plenus odoratus arc hardly bought at all, while snapdragons, stocks, feverfew, myosotis, candytuft and calendulas realize little. Small-flowered gladioli are almost unsalable and even fine spikes of Ilalley, America, Augusta and Mrs. King are hard to move at $4 to $6 per hundred. An abundant crop of outdoor valley is arriving, of better quality than tlie forced article, but the sales are slow. Lilies have been hard to move at even $3 to $o per hundred. The only peonies arriving locally are officinalis varieties, but other colors of good qual- ity are coming from farther south. Tliese sell at $-1 to $3 per hundred. Lilacs, German irises and other outdoor flowers are abundant. Cattleyas are sluggish at $'■'> to $i i)cr dozen. The sales of asparagus have been light. Congested conditions are always to be exj)ected after Memorial day. Much material jilanncd for tliat lioMday flow- ered too late and we are now being swamped with this material. An im- jirovement in a few days seems prob- able. The Outdoor Flower Show. Tlie attendance at the open-air flower show, on account of adverse weather CLEYEMI ••• THE. J. N.

"With one exception, the orchid groups were still in position June 10 and looked well after being staged for ten days. The azalea tent has been splendid; also Roland 's rose garden. The rhododen- drons will not be well opened out be- fore June 20, although some sorts now are good. The magnificent standard wistarias and trachelospermums were splendidly opened June 12. William Sim received a silver medal for his grand bed of ]iansies. The W. W. Edgar Co. had an attractive bed of standard Poitevine geraniums, with a base of Mrs. Sander marguerites. B.

The backward season, war and other condi- tions, the fact that it was opened eight or ten days too early, the added fact that people could get free, magnificent open-air displays at the Arnold Arbore- tum, in the parkways and on private estates, militated against tlie success of the show. In March, or early April, l)eople are hungry for flowers, as the attendance at Boston's indoor March show proved, but in June they have had a surfeit of them. A mistake made by the managers of the exhibition was in limiting the vari- eties of plants on exhibition. Orchids, azaleas, rhododendrons, wistarias, etc., may be admired by, but they cannot be grown by, the masses. I noticed more people admiring and taking notes of irises, tulips and perennials than of the more aristocratic kinds. The great British shows, like those at the Temple, Holland House, York, Shrewsbury, Wolverhampton, etc., contain all vari- ABUNDANTLY PREPARED A1 ALL TIMES Edwards Floral Hall Company 1716 Pacific Avenue ATUNTIC CITY, NEW JERSEI Nurseries: Mediterranean and South Carolina Aves.

At Boston, displays of bulbs, peren- nials, etc., were ignored until a week after the opening, while show pelargo- niums, begonias, gloxinias, fuchsias, streptocarpi, ferns, palms, cacti, fine foliage plants and many others obtain- able were not seen at all. A miscel- laneous tent would have proved im- mensely popular and this year, of all years, vegetables should have been allotted some space. But when all is said and done, the fact is apparent that June flower shows in America are not a success from a financial standpoint. Newport, New York and Boston have all found this out. Gardeners' and Florists' Club. The officers of the Gardeners' and Florists' Club have purchased a $500 Liberty Loan bond for their reserve fund. Many members have also pur- chased bonds. Several members of the club have already joined the colors, while others are expecting to be drafted. All such will be kept square on the books for the duration of the war. After the transaction of regular business at the next meeting, June 19, a collation and dance will be given. A charge of 50 cents each will be made for the entertainment. At the Sep- tember meeting W. H. Elliott will talk on California. In October there will be a vegetable lecture and exhibition, the display to be opened for public inspec- tion. In November a chrysanthemum lecture and exhibition will be given. . . .

What should have been lilac day at the Arnold Arboretum vras ruined by a drenching rain storm. This pre- vented many thousands from enjoying the display. From about 140 varieties flovfc^ering, the following small list is especially good: Macrostachya, Marie Legraye, Mme. Lemoine, Philemon, Bleuatre, Souv. de Spaeth, Negro, Am- broise, Verschaffelt, Congo, Alphonse Lavalle and President Carnot. Lilacs in this section are not flowering so pro- fusely as usual. H. E. Comley has a good number of June wedding orders and business with him is good. Mr. Comley 's son, Lester, one of the most popular buyers in the flower markets, has enlisted in the hos- pital corps. Charles Evans was the first grower to bring Pffionia officinalis to the market; this was June 8. Usually this peony is open for Memorial day, sometimes earlier. William Gray, secretary of the Amer- ican Sweet Pea Society, reports that sweet peas are promising at Newport. His fall-sown plants now are blooming outdoors. He thinks the dates selected for the Boston show, July 7 and 8, should suit sweet peas nicely. ;K E NTU C KY- = JACOB SCIDLZ CO.; Incorporated— Established 1 873 n |THE FLOWER SHOP| ■ 550 Fourth Avenue, Louisville i I For painstaking personal service send K ■ your orders to the South's Most Modern ^ Floral and Art Establishment. h Member Florists' Telegraph Delivery Ass'n LOUISVILLE,KY AUaUST R.

The big buy- ers took peonies out of tlie market in truck loads; the gathering of push carts interfered with traffic and the street merchants were at every corner. Still at tlie end of tlie week there seemed to be no diminution in the supply. Many thousands of them were saved by cold storage. They will be valuable at the close of the present week, when the sur- plus and the decreasing regular ship- ments are over. June 9 fine flowers were offered as low as $1 per hundred. This refers to the fresh stock of the day's receipts. The day-old flowers did not realize more than 50 cents per hun- dred; the 2-day-old flowers were given away and tlie rest sought the inevitable end in tlie cold waters of the Hudson river. Some of the individual peony ship- ments were the result of large plant- ings. One of the big Pennsylvania growers had fifteen acres of them under cultivation. Many of the flowers should have been here for Memorial day, but the season has been exceptionally late and cold. So when this first hot spell arrived the market was flooded.

The same condition applies to roses, althoujjli there has been no noticeable surplus and seldom has the offer for short stems been under $1 per liundred. In the clean-up June 9 there was no seri- ous decline. American Beauties are off (piality, but Hadley, Bruuner and Prima Donna roses continue excellent and are in demand. A few orchids sell as high as 40 cents and tlie rest at 2-i cents and under. There are not many in the market.

Sunday Closing. The Wholesale Cut Flower and Al- lied Trades Association of New York is sending out this letter to the flo- rists of the city: A New York state labor law, known as the (lay-of-rest law, obligates an employer to give to each employee one day of twenty-four consec- utive hours rest in every seven days, under pen- alty of a fine, jail sentence, or both, and, inas- much as we can ill afford to spare any of our employees on week days, and, in order that we may comply with tliis law, we, the members of the Wholesale Cut Flower and Allied Trades As- sociation, at a meeting held May 19 last In this city, decided to close Sundays. We wish therefore to bring to your notice that, after June 30 next, all wholesalers and jobbers in cut flowers, and supply houses in Greater New York, will be closed Sundays. In our endeavor to comply with this law, we ask your cooperation and trust you will find it convenient to make such purchases on Saturdays in the future as you have heretofore made on Sundays. P. B. Eigby, Sec'y. June 9 a meeting of the executive committee of the new association was held in the Coogan building, P. J. Smith presiding. There are fifty-nine mem- bers. It is to be hoped that the Sunday closing movement may ultimately in- fluence the retail florists, many of whom already virtually lock their doors on Saturday nights. Various Notes. W. J. Scully, called by the trade the mayor of Eockaway Park, had charge of tlie Harrahan-Mouquiii wedding dec- orations, both at the house and church. Many thousands of white roses were used and 1,000 geraniums were planted for the occasion. ir. T. Phillips, of tlic G. W.

John Young returned June 11 from a trip to St. Louis and Chicago. Tlie Horticultural Society of New York held a show at the Bronx Park Museum June 9 and 10.

The government reports that to June 1 6,885 curs of Bermuda onions had been moved out of Texas, against a total move- ment of 4,903 cars in 1916. In spite of the reported arrangement by which exports will be resumed, the boats of the Holland-America line still leave Eotterdam without cargo. This week's mail from Japan brings word that the lily bulb market there is tightening up ; bulbs are becoming scarce, and prices higher. It is understood that many lots have been sold at low prices. H. W. BucKBEE served as a special deputy United States marshal in dealing with the slacker riot at Rockford, 111., last week. He was one of the guard who took thirty-five rioters to the county jail at Belvidere, arriving there at 2 a. m. George W. Kerr, of W. Atlee Burpee & Co., has just returned to Philadelphia after a trip to California and is enthu- siastic relative to Burpee's early-flower- ing sweet peas being grown there, pro- duced from crosses made by him at Ford- hook Farms. In spite of rather unfavor- able weather conditions at the beginning of the season, the crops are looking well. Although there have been reports of the depredations of aphis among the growing crops of sweet peas along the coast, he says he states with pleasure that, by constant hard work, they have kept this pest in check. IOWA SEEDSMEN CONVENE. What with a good season behind them and a prosperous future before them, it was a happy crowd of Hawkeye seeds- men who assembled at Des Moines June 12 for the annual meeting of the Iowa Seed Dealers' Association. Although the high water kept many away, accord- ing to Secretary Eldridge, there were plenty of help to "put over" a splendid session. The balloting for new officers resulted in the choice of the following: Presi- dent, F. H. Page, of the Iowa Seed Co., Des Moines; vice-president, C. E. Ather- ton, of Deep Eiver; secretary, A. M. Eldridge, of the Henry Field Seed Co., Shenandoah, reelected; treasurer, John T. Hamilton, of Cedar Rapids, reelected. A banquet was held after the business session June 12 and the following day most of those who attended made a trip to Ames to get in touch with the work being done at the agricultural college.

The Bureau of Foreign and Domestic Commerce considers it advisable for exporters at the present time, when making contracts for export, to state in the body of the contract that the sale is made subject to the seller's ability to secure an export permit, if one should be required. The Bureau of Foreign and Domestic Comm,erce issues this warning in view of the probability of Congress enacting legis- lation under which the export of cer- tain commodities to certain countries may be controlled by the issuance of licenses. If this is done the exporter will save himself much annoyance and possible claims for damage if this clause is inserted in the bill of sale. gmaiHouoiniDflinuotiiiinniiinnaminiiiainniinoinDii Order Seed Packets NOW FOR 1918 Paper scarce.

WINTERSON'S SEED STORE of soy beans for food and manufacturing l)urposes, there is no likelihood of over- proiluftion this year. The soy bean also is a soil improver and the straw is valuable for feeding purposes. As a seed crop the soy bean should l)e planted about June 1 in the north. However, in the southern part of the central states plantings may be made as late as June li5. Where clover or grass has winterkilled, the soy bean may be planted to good advantage. The de- partment tells farmers considerable quantities of seeds still are available for planting, but the trade understands the market is bare. IT IS NOT A WARRANTY. The U. S. Department of Agriculture makes the following announcement re- garding the recent meeting of seeds- men at Wasliingtou: ' ' With a view to devising some prac- tical means for furnishing the farmer essential information concerning the commercial seeds he is buying, the Sec- retary of Agriculture recently invited representatives of the seed trade to confer with the department on the sub- ject. "OflScers of the American Seed Trade Association and of the Wholesale Grass Seed Dealers' Association, as well as representatives of twenty-one leading seed firms, were present. ' ' Because of the vital importance of the matter in relation to the effort to enlarge the production of staple food and feed crops, the department sug- gested that the seed trade voluntarily furnish the following information with the field crop seeds thoy sell: (1) Name of scfdsninii. (LM Kind of seed. (3) I'roportion of pure live seed present, with muntli and year of germination test. (4) Country or locality of origin in the ease of tlie foIldwiiiK imported seeds: Beans, soy beans, Tiirkestiui alfalfa, and red clover from southern Kiirope and Chile. "Tlie representatives of the sc j. trade present agreed to adopt these suggestions with reference to their own business, and the officers of the associa- tions represented agreed to recommend that these suggestions be adopted by all firms included in their membership. The question of such adoption is now being submitted to individual seedsmen SPECIAL OFFER LILY BULBS We have a few thousand each of the following COLD STORAGE LILIUMS which we offer for prompt acceptance and subject to prior sale: Case 5 Cases 10 Cases Lilium Formosum, 7/ 9. 250 per case $12.60 $60.00 $112.00 9/10, 180 per case 14.50 70.00 135.00 Lilium Giganteum, 6/ 8, 400 per case 13 .00 60 00 7/ 9, 300 per case 13.50 63.75 8/10, 225 per case 15.75 76.50 9/10. 2()0 per case 17.00 82.50 7/ 9, 100 per case 5.50 25.00 9/10, 100 per case 9.50 45.00 112.00 120.00 146.25 160.00 45.00 85.00 The following Caladium Esculentum and Tuberose Bulbs are offered subject to prior sale: Caladium Esculentum, 5/7. 7/ 9. 9/11 . 11/12 100 .$ 1.00 . 2.00 , 3.50 . 6.00 12/14 11.00 Tuberoses, 4/6. 6/8. .75 1.50 1000 $ 7.50 15.00 30.00 55.00 100.00 6.50 12.00 oflm^^uM^ 30 Barclay St. NEW YORK Uentlon The B«t1«w when yon wrlf PRIMROSE SEED IMPROVED CHINESB, finest flrrown. sinffle and double, mixed, 600 seeds, $1.00; Hi pkt., 60c; 1000 seeds. |l.60.

I made a complete round of the seed houses last week and also visited a num- ber of other stores that have seed de- partments, making inquiries as to the volume of business done and the quan- tity of seeds on hand. All agreed that business has been by far the heaviest this year that Nashville ever has known and, while seed business is usually prac- tically over by this time, sales are only limited at the present time by the quantity of stock on hand. Mr. Ewing, of McKay, Reece & Co., the oldest and largest seed firm in Nash- ville, stated that they did not have a Lima bean of any sort left in the store and were unable to secure any more. He stated tliat Red Valentine is the only variety of string beans that they have on liand at present and the supply of these will be exhausted in a few more days. On the entire round I did not find enough cow peas and soy beans to sup- ply the normal demand for a week and most of the stock I did find was cheap mixtures, only good for hay. , Everything is in fine condition for good crops, however. Soy beans and cow peas are going into the ground under the most favorable conditions and the supply of seeds should be good this fall. Rye, oats and wheat will be ready to harvest within the next ten days and all that did not freeze out is in excellent condition. The yield of rye promises to be the heaviest for years. F. B. PLANT A.

The Florists^ Review 61 "THERE'S PANSIES, THAT'S FOR THOUGHTS" Tlio iiaiiu; "pansy" is deriv('d from a French word siffnlfylng a tliouKlit. In Kn^land tlie custom Is iirevalcnt of wearing a pansy if one lias a friend at the Front, and we are told that in France pansies are used more than any otlier Hower to decollate solditM's' (jravcs. Tiiese beautiful customs of our Allies will surely spread in this country, increasinfj the popu aiity of the always popular pansy. Prejjare now for next year's increased demand hy planting Toole's Pansy seed. William Toole & Son are pioneers In the raising of pansy seed in America. Thlrty-flve years' experience in selecting, breeding, studying, and growing pansy seed and plants especially to suit the wants of American people, have resulted in our superior strain of pansy seed. Our aim Is to grow the kind of seeds we would like to buy ourselves. Our endeavor is to combine a wide range of bright and pleasing colors with large size flowers, heavy substance of petals, together with an attractive round flower, many of which are ruffled and lightly fringed. TOOLE'S GIANT PRIZE STRAIN This strain contains the best pansies we know how to pro- duce. Besides colors and shades of our own selection It con- tains such novelties and varieties from other growers as we have found worth while after careful trials.

New Early-flowering or Wlnter- hlooming Giant Paneles An entirely new and distinct strain of Pansies. The main ad- vantage of these new Pansies over all hitherto existing Pansies is the extreme earliness of flowering and the unusual hardiness, which enables them to withstand quite severe winters, and to bloom right OH into the summer. Sown at the same time as other Pansies, they begin flowering the early part of March, or as soon as the snow is off the ground, many times having four or five large flowers to a plant, when all other Pansies are only showing buds. The flowers are large, well formed and fragrant. They are highly recommended for autumn planting and for very early bedding, as well as for early cut flowers. 14. 15. 16. 17. 18. WINTER SUN.

The Milot-Mills Co. has started to build a new addition to its establish- ment, the lumber, all cypress, arriving from Cliicago in twenty days, which is considered fast time. Business with the company has been good, especially in vegetable plants. The new flower and seed store met with such success that it lias been enlarged. The C. H. Eaney Co. has assigned its property to the Merchants' Bureau. It is reported that the liabilities greatly exceed the assets. This is the fourth concern that has failed in the same location. LOS ANGELES, CAL. The Market. June has started out finely, notwith- standing the war and troublesome times. Weddings have become numerous and a scarcity of choice small stock suitable for bouquets and corsages has devel- oped. Valley is almost out of the mar- ket and the supply of orchids is not nearly up to the demand. In roses we are being helped out considerably by shipments from the north, Eussell, Hoosier Beauty, Hadley, Ophelia and others being superior to anything at present in the home market. Green- house carnations are still in short sup- ply, but field stock is going to the dump in large quantities, or is given to the hospitals. Gladioli are now arriving in consid- erable quantities and in larger variety than before. The old scarlet, brench- leyensis, seems to have disappeared from here, but the earlier red types have been plentiful. America and Panama are fine now, so are the Ghent hybrids. In outdoor flowers delphini- ums are making a grand display in con- junction with yellow composites of the coreopsis and similar types. The re- tailers' windows are especially showy now. The supply of greens has short- ened up a little, but there is still no scarcity. Funeral work has been good, but not enough to keep the surplus cleaned up in the wholesale houses. Various Notes. Owing to the confusion in the place of meeting, there was a small attend- ance at the June meeting of the Los Angeles Horticultural Society. Presi- dent Taylor's paper was postponed. George Smith has decided to relin- quish the retail store at Seventh and Figueroa streets and will devote his wliole time to the nursery and land- scape business. At the new nursery at Sherman stock is coming along in fine shape and Mr. Smith reports an excel- lent response to his catalogue this sea- son. Dr. C. H. Castle, who for several years has been interested in the cul- ture of gladioli and other bulbous stock, lias quite a number of flowering bulbs this year and is disposing of his cut to the L. A. Floral Co. J. Wliitehead, for many years asso- ciated with Dieterich & Turner and later with H. W. Turner, of Monte- bello, stole a march on his friends lately and was married to Miss Anderson, in Los Angeles, afterwards leaving for a short trip to San Diego. Mr. Whitehead is well known to the trade here and has a host of friends to wish him happiness. Wolfskins' & Morris Goldenson re- ported a nice order for seventy-five cor- sages and a number of baskets for a re- cent graduation. Albert Goldenson, manager here, says that business kept up remarkably well during May and that the orders for June indicate an- other good month. H. Reeve Darling is not given to op- timistic statements, but he says that if June goes ahead at anything like the clip it started he will be registering satisfaction at least a yard wide. Seven weddings in one day and the regular amount of funeral work sounds like * ' something doing. ' ' S. Martin & Co. report a rather sud- den drop in out-of-town inquiries and shipping business, which is always to be expected after Memorial day. Local calls have been many and insistent. Since having the entire management of the business on his own hands, Thomas Wright, of Wright's Flower Shop, is a busy florist, and although he is always willing to greet the visitor, one hates to take up his time. The busy aspect of the store and the spirit of cheerfulness and good nature which radiates from the proprietor down- wards, show that the business is com- ing in fine form and June is the long suit at this store. Alois Frey, of Crown Point, Ind., ar- rived in the city this week, his visi/t being in connection with the lawsuit pending between him and G. Prechtel, regarding the colored freesias. The sympathy of all in the trade is with John Bodger, Jr., in the loss of his little son, John Hall Bodger, who died June 3, at the age of 2% years. F. Z. Howe, who with his brother, John Howe, of Tucson, carried on busi- ness under the style of Howe Bros., has left Arizona and is now located in Los Angeles. He has for some time been interested in battery and other electric matters, and has located here in that business. John Howe retains the nur- sery and florist business at Tucson. The California Cut Flower Co. is making a magnificent display of north- ern roses. H. E. Richards. SAN FRANCISCO. The Market. The usual post-holiday situation pre- vailed during the remainder of the week following Memorial day and interest in registration had a diverting effect upon business June 5, but the slump was hard- ly so pronounced as was anticipated under the circumstances. As a matter of fact, retail business has held up re- markably well, there being quite a bit of funeral work, a good many small hotel and home decorations and the usual run of early June weddings. On the other hand, shipping orders dropped off abruptly at the end of May, which is expected at this time of the year, when the warm weather begins to hover over the interior points. In the absence of the out-of-town demand, stock has a tendency to accumulate here, local busi- ness naturally not being sufficiently ac- tive to absorb such generous offerings of stock as are now available with the wide assortment of outdoor summer flowers GLADIOLI We have secured the entire crop of the famous Riverside Growers of Gladioli and the flowers are extra fine this year.

It is perhaps misleading to say that shipping busi- ness has stopped without making an exception of strawflowers, as these are being forwarded in considerable quan- tities. Unfortunately, carnations were rather scarce for Memorial day and have since then been in too heavy supply, thus making it difficult to maintain prices even on excellent stock. Sweet peas amount to a glut, although quantities of them are disposed of every day. There is little to say about roses. The best Hadley, Ophelia and Bussell maintain their popularity well, but a good many other varieties, especially short-stemmed roses, find their way to the street stands at whatever the venders choose to offer. Few of the large-flowetring gladioli as yet have arrived, and the limited sup- ply cleans up readily. Baby gladioli are quite plentiful, however. Peonies are going off crop and will not last much longer. Spanish iris is about gone too. Among the miscellaneous flowers co- reopsis stands out prominently on ac- count of its splendid quality, the blooms being unusually large and a great many of the stems being two feet in length. There are plenty of orchids, gardenias and valley. Horticultural Society Meeting. The regular meeting of the Pacific Coast Horticultural Society, which was held June 2, was one of the best meet- ings held this year, both from the stand- point of attendance and interesting pro- ceedings. Mr. Bagge gave a talk on "Fakes and Near-Fakes," which was well received. Applications for mem- bership were submitted and accepted from W. B. Clarke, manager of the Cot- tage Gardens Nurseries, and Victor Fer- rari, son of Peter Ferrari, who is an ac- tive member. As a rather unusual fea- ture, C. W. Ward sent down some aza- lea plants from Eureka, which were presented by Mr. Clarke. In connection with the exhibit Mr. Clarke gave an in- teresting lecture on the growth of this flower, also the growth of the daffodil and narcissus, making effective compari- sons between California-grown bulbs and those Holland-grown by means of photographs showing the different stages of development. The azaleas were fine specimens of lyear-old plants, the growth being hardy. For the picnic committee, all preparations were re- ported complete for the annual event. Following the regular society meeting, the flower show committee met and de- cided to prepare for a show to be held the third week in March, 1918. Several hundred dollars have already been signed up to make the event a big suc- cess. The evening's exhibits made a creditable showing.

Jaeger has severed his con- nection with MacRorie & McLaren, with the intention, it is understood, of en- gaging in business for himself in the same neighborhood. Mr. Jaeger is one of the pioneers of the florists' business in San Francisco. Prior to his identifica- tion with MacRorie & McLaren he was one of the principal stockholders in the Fairmont Floral Co., which MacRorie & McLaren bought out a year or more ago. J. B. Bernadau succeeds Mr. Jae- ger as manager of the MacRorie & Mc- Laren store, at 141 Powell street. He has been with the company for a little more than a year, but that period repre- sents only a small portion of his con- nection with the trade, as he practically grow up in the business.

The Art Floral Co. did considerable work for Les Darcy, when the boxer's remains passed through San Francisco en route to Australia. For the boxers of New York they arranged a basket of roses, containing forty dozen Radiance, Russell and Ophelia roses.

They were specially grown for that establishment and were easily cleaned up. H. Plath has his automobile in first- class condition again, a complete over- hauling having been necessitated by an accident which he was in recently. The United Flower & Supply Co. re- ports a good demand for its new Nip- pon statice. Mr. Onishi believes the company is the only concern to have this variety, and it is shipping a great deal of it out of tlie city. C. Navlet & Co. liave moved into their new store at San Jose, Cal., but they still have some finishing touches to make, according to Mr. Picetti, who has charge of the Emporium depart- ment in this city, which is conducted by the same company. Mr. Picetti says the demand for plants has held up well. C. Kooyman, president of the C. Kooy- man Co., Inc., reports a nice lot of busi- ness coming in as the result of G. Mad- vig's trip east. The latter, who is sec- retary-treasurer of the company, has been gone several weeks and will prob- ably remain away for some time yet. Here a nice shipping demand is reported for strawflowers. J. A. Axell, manager of the E. W. McLellan Co., says tlie demand for good Eussell, Ophelia and Hadley roses ab- sorbs the supply nicely and that general business leaves no ground for complaint. Business at B. M. Joseph's store has held up unusually well following Me- morial day, according to Manager Fred J. Bertrand. Miss Bertha Cohn, of the Bellevue Florists, says wedding and banquet dec- orations are the principal feature at present. This work has about offset the slump in counter trade that followed Memorial day. Friends of Patrick Orr, of the Albert 0. Stein force, regret to learn of the death of Mr. Orr's father. That business is excellent, is the ver- dict given at Albert O. Stein 's place on Sutter street. Mr, Stein handled quan- tities of flowers for Memorial day and says that table decorations continue to require considerable attention, both hotel and home affairs. Last week he did a big decoration at the Bohemian Club for the Chamber of Commerce, the color scheme being red, white and blue. He has an elaborate decoration for a golden wedding anniversary June 12. F. J. Bertrand, manager of the B. M. Joseph store, says the force was ex- tremely busy for a few days before Memorial day. Miss Recardie Lee Murray has no complaints to make about business, as she is kept busy dividing her attention between her store on Geary street, near Larkin, and the Clift hotel stand. S. H. G. TACOMA, WASH. The Market. Business has been too brisk since Memorial day to allow the florists much rest. The everyday trade has been good; numerous social affairs of a small nature, an unusual number of wed- dings and a steady stream of gradua- tions have kept the florists busy and have cleared the stock daily. The weather has improved greatly, and this is most noticeable in the way stock is coming in. Sweet peas, carnations, roses and stocks are in better supply, but are not in excess of the demand. FISCHER'S SPLENDENS A Magnificent Lavender Freesia The only commercial colored Freesia in the world, not to be compared or judged in the same class with any other colored Freesia. It stands alone for size, strength, beauty and fragrance. The flowers are very large, with long, heavy stems with foliage reaching well up the stems, and are highly fragrant. It is a Freesia that will stand the test of time and will be grown by all florists when stock can be offered at commercial prices. Was awarded a Certificate of Merit at the Pasadena Flower Show. Stock is limited; send in your orders as soon as possible. Is offered in two shades of color, a bluish lavender and a red- ish lavender. Only good sized, flowering bulbs are offered.

Some retailers are receiving ship- ments from Oregon, but the Oregon market seems to be short of peonies also. Lilacs are on the wane, but they are not missed by the florists, as the supply overstepped the demand. Bed- ding stock and porch boxes are moving slowly. Most of the seed stores have sold out all the standard varieties of vegetable seeds. Various Notes. William Crammatte, of the Home Floral Co., of Aberdeen, was a Tacoma visitor this week. He reports business booming in the Grays Harbor district. The unusual activity in ship-building and the full payroll of the lumber mills has produced a decided increase in trade.

Good orchids at reasonable prices have been available from the coast cities, particularly from Portland, and have been used extensively in some of the better wedding work. Various Notes.

Unfavorable vs^eather caused many of the early-sown seeds to rot, and there has lately been a lively scramble for plants to take their place. The movement of bedding stock is brisk and some growers hope to clean up, though it seems hardly possible that they can do so at this late date. Nurserymen report that they have had a good season, with a reduced num- ber of sales, but with an increase in the average amount of each sale. The small buyer for a moderate home has not spent much money for ornamentals this year. Various Notes. H. J. Millatt, who recently under- went a serious operation, is home again and gaining strength rapidly. It will be several weeks before he can return to his position in the Clarke Bros, store.

After trying all varieties of weed killers, lawn sand and other advertised mixtures, as well as injecting acids into the crowns of the plants, I long ago came to the conclusion that the only real remedy for dandelions was to dig tliem out, with their roots any- where from eight to eighteen inches in length, using a sjiading fork for the purpose. You can cut the tops off with knives, even taking out four to five inches of root, but it will only give temporary relief, as the remain- ing portion of the root will send up new growths before long. By picking off the flowers and preventing the plants from going to seed, you can, in a great measure, reduce the daaide- lion nuisance, especially if your neigh- bors will do likewise. C. W.

The store is known as ' ' The Home of the Big Soda Fountain," but a cut flower business is done tliat would be a credit to any city of the size. Olympia, Wash. — According to a rul- ing made in an opinion by the attorney general, florists are "nurserymen" Avithin tlic meaning of the state law and must take out licenses. The point was raised by local florists, who refused to pay the state fee, claiming that the nearest thing to a shrub they grew was the geranium.

Forty-second anneal convention, Phlladelpma, Pa., June 27 to 29, 1917. riuciNG the peony lists is somotliing of a problem this season. The uncer- tainty as to importations has much to do with the case. The Aurora Nursery Co., Aurora, 111., dealing almost exclusively in ornamentals, reports the season now closed to have been one of the best. This year C. A. Pfeiffer, nurseryman of Winona, Minn., tried out advertising of a new kind. Instead of buying news- paper space, Mr. Pfeiffer picked up a large quantity of tulip bulbs last fall and set them out in a bed of eighteen rows, each row 200 feet in length. Last month ])eople from several counties came to see the gorgeous sight and, incidentally, to receive the Pfeiffer catalogue. THE WINTER IN NEBRASKA. The winter of 191(5-17, without an excei)tion, stamped its mark of se- verity deeper on the trees, shrubs and plants in Nebraska than any other for the last twenty or more years. This was not due so much to the extremely cold weatlier tliat prevailed in the eastern portion of tlie state, but to the prolongell fall and winter drought. Records of the weather bureau show- that Nebraska has not experienced such a vears. Just shown During drv fall and winter in twentv how dry the weather was is by tlie following experience: the middle of February we undertook to move several trees of such si/e as to require the retention of a frozen ball of earth. All those trees that were dug in the nursery at the University of Nebraska, which is lo- cated in a valley, were moved with a good ball of earth, as the soil was frozen to a depth of more than thirty inches. It hajipened, however, that we had several Id-inch elms that we pro- ])ose(l moving. These trees were lo- cated on the cam])us proper. I would judge that the campus is not more than fifteen feet higher than the nursery. The' soil was l)rok('u around these trees in the manner c-ustomary when big trees are to be transplanted. The first six inches of soil proved to be fairly well frozen, but that below was not. It was so dry that there was not enough moisture to freeze the soil solid. The soil was very easily moved with a shovel and it crumbled into pieces about the size of small marbles. Under such conditions many of the big trees have suffered. Old white spruce, together with young specimens, and the silver, or Pfitzeriana, and the Japanese goMen junipers, all have 1)een killed. Practically all the arbor- vita- are in the sanu> shape. With this loss the evergreen collection in our arboretum looks sick, indeed. Many of the deci(hu)us shrubs that w^ere un- protected were severely damaged.

Carnations l)y the armful were being gathered by August Stoeckle, wlio re- marked that wiiile one ooubl liardly give them away at tliis time, he was of the opinion tliat, taking the season through, prices liad been well main- tained. He is a large retailer of many years' exjjerience and conveys a feel- ing of o])timism. Now the rush is on for porch boxes, etc., witli ])lenty of good stock, especially Asparagus Spren- geri. F. A. Bennett & Sons are of the few who issue a retail bedding jdant price list in the form of a slieet naming the ])rincipal items or leaders in their stock. This has ))een done for several years and has resulted in building uj) a large ))usiness among tlie surrounding towns. They also are convinced it has been one of the best methods of rural advertis- ing. A large stock of tuberous-rooted begonias was noted as being out of the ordinary; also some 150 tubs of liydrangeas in fine condition, all for the local trade. A novelty in a hybrid gera- nium, a cross witli tlie foliage of the zonal and heavy pink trusses of the ivy leaved, is a good seller. It origi- nated witli a local amateur, from whom the stock was obtained. The jilauting season now is on with a rush. W. M.

The Market. Business during the montli of May was exceptionally good. Memorial day, as is usual in the south, brought little extra business. The first week in June was good, there having been a number of weddings and graduation exercises. The supply of stock was never better at this time of the year. The peony sea- son is about over, but the crop was good and a number of consignments were made to northern and eastern markets. Indoor sweet peas are about gone. Roses now are abundant and of excel- lent quality, especially Russell, Hoosier Beautv, Ophelia, Mock and Kaiserin. Owing to the cool weather, carnations still are good and the cut is heavy. There is a good crop of orchids for June weddings. Weather conditions have been better during the last two weeks, but the nights still are cool and stock is not growing so rapidly as is usual at this Time of tlie year. However, vegetation of all kinds looks hardy and healthy. Various Notes. A. H. Dailey is cutting some choice gladioli, the first on the local market. The C. W. Crouch Co. is busy with wedding work, having had a number of elaborate decorations recently. C. L. Baum is cutting a fine lot of or- chids; also some good roses and car- nations. C. H. Tipton and Mrs. Ryno are busy with bedding plant business, the late season making the demand con,tinue good.

A Review correspondent saw them March 31st and wrote: "Tbey include some beautiful varieties, which are being carefully marked and saved for propagation. One bed 300 feet long, of a pale yellow polyanthus, 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 300 feet long, are devoted to this crop, and a glorious sight they are." But the best of it is they had a glorious sale. You can do as well next season if you order your stock now.

The demaiul, principally for flowers for commencements, is fair, but it is not strong enough to clear all of the good stock that arrives at the wholesale houses. The shipping business, as far as ferns and greens are concerned, is excellent, but the movement in flowers has slumped considerably. Prices are low and much stock goes to the dump. Eoses are in heavy supply, and in some cases there is considerable room for im- provement as to quality. Carnations, too, are in heavy supply, with only a part of them of high quality. Easter lilies and callas are plentiful and excel- lent, but move slowly. Excellent gladi- oli may be had. Sweet peas are plenti- ful, but they do not sell easily. Valley comes in regularly in limited quantities. Snapdragons arc in heavy supi)ly and peonies are a glut. Other offerings are larkspurs and cornflowers. Greens are plentiful, Avith the new ferns selling well. Various Notes. Eay Murphy's touring car was in a collision with another automobile this vreek. Fortunately, none of the occu- pants of the cars was injured and only the mudguards and the running-boards on the Murphy car were smashed. P. J. Olinger is fortunate in having a large cut of his new red carnation. Radium, as well as a heavy cut of Rich- mond, for the commencement business this week. C. E. Critchell is experiencing a large demand from all over the country for bronze galax leaves in case lots. George Klotter sent the first of his cut of coreopsis to L. 11. Kyrk last week. Miss Anna Weiland, of Evanston, 111., is visiting her sister, Mrs. P. J. Olinger, at the Olinger home at Bellevue. Oscar Leistner, of Chicago, was a vis- itor last week. C. H. H.

Quick heat, no boiler pits, no dealers' profits). The KROESCHELL BOILER Insures the Highest Standard of HEATING VALUES Immense Self-cleaning Heat- ing Surface — Longest Fire Travel — Perfect Combustion- Free Circulation— Thin Water- ways—Guaranteed Working Capacities— Safety— Durabil- ity—Efficiency and Economy. SEND FOR CATALOGUE OAST IRON BOILERS WASTE FUEL I had a cast iron 8-section boiler before, but was afraid it would crack to pieces. The Kroeschell Boiler is certainly a fuel-saver. My coal bill to heat 5000 sq. ft. of glass surface with your boiler is less than last winter's coal bill, when I had only 2050 sq. ft. of glass, heated with the 8-section cast iron boiler. Your boiler burns any kind of fuel. I would not have any other boiler than the Kroeschell, and will recommend whenever I get a chance. ' ' Edward Wittamer, Joliet, 111. KROESCHELLBROS.CO. 444 W.

Perhaps the difficulty might be cor- rected without the use of other piping than that indicated in the sketch, by- exchanging one of the 2-inch returns in the east house for the flow pipe in the west house. EXACT DIRECTIONS IMPOSSIBLE. Kindly inform us how much piping will be required for a greenhouse 50x50, with five and one-half feet of glass in the sides and one foot of concrete wall all around. We wish to heat the house to 55 or 60 degrees when the outside temperature is 25 degrees below zero. Hot water is to be used. F. B.— Can. Without knowing something of the arrangement of the house, we cannot be positive regarding the best methods of arranging the return coils. We would advise the use of about 1,450 square feet of radiation, and this may be secured by using seven 2i/^-inch overhead flow pipes and thirty-seven 2-inch returns in seven coils, each supplied by one of the flows. One flow may be at each plate, another three feet below the ridge, and two of the others may be placed on each side of the house, at equal distances between the plates and the ridge. There should be five pipes in each of the return coils except those on the side walls, which should have six return pipes each. The coils should be in the walks if solid beds are used, or underneath in the case of raised benches. A Model Greenhouse Boiler 53 sold in a season in one community to florists.

We make everything just simple. You will like our material, our methods of doing business and our service. Just send us a card asking for our catalogue. ADVANCE CO.

What does it mattor if the original investment is a trifle greater? It's the per- centage of profit that counts after all.

Membership gains are steady, but participation in meetings and exhibitions does not increase. Mm THE fourteenth annual meeting and exhibition of the American Peony Soci- ety, combined with the exhibitions of the Penn- sylvania Horticultural So- ciety and the Flower Show Association of the Main Line, were held in Horti- cultural hall, Philadelphia, June 13 and 14, About eighty per cent of the show was provided by the Peony Society, the balance being divided be- tween the Horticultural Society and the Main Liners in the ratio of three to one, showing that the latter are going in for vegetables this season. The show filled the main hall and, while there was no attempt at decoration, the effect was good. There were not so many large vases of fifties and hun- dreds as at recent shows, but the individual blooms were fully as fine as any ever staged by the society. amateurs. It was in keeping with the policy pursued in recent years of en- couraging the nonprofessional element, from which the society has been obtain- ing a considerable increase in member- ship. The Principal Exhibitors. Bertrand H. Farr, of Wyomissing, Pa., for eight years president of the Peony Society, brought a large exhibit, includ- ing many choice sorts. Mr. Farr con- sidered La Lorraine, a lemon yellow Lemoine hybrid tree peony, as the gem of his collection. Prof. A. P. Saunders, Can't Be National. OFFICERS ELECTED PRESIDENT James Boyd, - - - Haverford, Pa VICE-PRESIDENT Arthur H. Fewkes, Newton Higfhlands, Mass Of all the special flower societies, that devoted to the peony suffers more than any other because of the unreliability of the seasons. The short duration of bloom and the vagaries of the weather make it impossible to give adequate notice of the exhibition, so that at- tendance and number of exhibits both suffer. In fact, the meeting of the American Peony Society has become scarcely more than a local affair, participated in by, perhaps, half a dozen growers in the locality vis- ited and followed regularly by only a few peony spe- cialists, this year only one trade grower competing for the prizes. Two postponements were considered necessary for this year's exhibition, and the second postponement, from June 11 to June 13, was made so late that no notice could be published. This condi- tion of affairs undoubtedly did much to cut down the number of exhibits. As the trade interest has waned, the premium list has tended more and more to the amateur side. This year eighteen classes were provided open to all, with eight classes open only to what were designated as "advanced" amateurs, and six classes open only to "novice" SECRETARY Prof. A. P. Saunders, - - Clinton, N. Y TREASURER John H. Humphreys, - Germantown, Pa DIRECTORS Bertrand H. Farr, * - Wyomissing, Pa Lee R. Bonnewitz, - - Van Wert, O 1918 Meeting Cleveland, O. of Clinton, N. Y., also brought a collec- tion of choice varieties. Tlio star decorative exhibit was made by the Henry F. Michell Co., of Phila- delphia. It consisted of more than 1,500 blooms in fifty-five varieties. L. R. Bonnewitz, of Van "Wert, 0., was the only western exhibitor. His flowers added much to the show. Henry A. Dreer, Inc., staged a choice assortment of handsome varieties from Riverton. R. T. Brown, of the Cottage Gardens, Queens, N. Y., was present, but at the time the judging began his flowers had not arrived and this exhibitor is not represented in the list ; of prize awards. The balance of the erahibits were from the large private estastes about Phila- delphia. The Awaards. In the classes opea_ to all, in which trade growers were porivileged to com- pete with the amateurrs, B. H. Farr was the only commercial exhibitor who liad his flowers staged wTlien the hour for judging arrived.

Of the three clasBses in w"hich premiums were not awardecxl, two failed to fill. There were two emtries for the coveted prize of $100, offesred by Mrs. Harding, for an American sseedling peony of out- standing merit, tioiit neither entry was staged, because or f the condition of the flowers on arrivaLI, it was said. Special mentioiui was given B, H. Farr 10 The Florists^ Review June 21, 1917. for a bloom of Lemoine's new yellow tree peony, La Lorraine. The winners in the classes for "ad- vanced" amateurs were James Boyd, Haverford; Elmer K. Schultz, Jenkin- town; Arthur U. Scott, Oak Lane; Mrs. Arthur H. Bailey, Ilarrisburg; M. Ed- mund Maule, Moorestown, N. J,; Mrs. Herbert Taylor, Ogontz; Mrs. J. Leslie Davis, Haverford, and A. P. Saunders, Clinton, N. Y. The winners in the classes for "novice" amateurs were Mrs. R. S. Holt, "West Summit, N. J.; Mrs. Owen Moon, Trenton, N. J.; Mrs. John M. Webster, Van Wert, O.; Thomas T. Tay- lor, Ogontz; Mrs. F. H. Jarrett, Beth- ayres; Herbert K. Taylor, Ogontz; Fisher L. Boyd, Haverford; James Boyd, Haverford, and Capt. J. Franklin Mc- Fadden, Rosemont. The best collections of outdoor flowers also came from ama- teurs, W. Ellis, of Bryn Mawr, and John A. Brown, of Devon. The names are reported so that dealers may add them to their mailing lists if they wish. The proceeds of the show were adver- tised as to be donated to the Red Cross, and the attendance of the public, if not of the trade from out of town, was fairly large. The show pleased and no doubt had the usual effect of inspiring people to ])urchase and i)lant the newer and better varieties. Business Meeting. President B. H. Farr, who has been at the head of the society's affairs since the Queens meeting in 1909, called the annual business session to order. There was a small attendance, made up almost exclusively of local amateurs. As has been his custom, President Farr pre- sented an exteaiporaneous report of the peony year, conversational in style, and Secretary Saunders presented a report for his office. The treasurer's report was so good that $500 was appropriated for the jiurchase of Liberty bonds. A plan for granting certificates to new varieties of merit was approved. Thirty-two new members were elected, practically all of them amateurs. The election of a Philadelphia ama- teur, James Boyd, as president of the society, was in line with the special efforts that have been made to bring in the nonprofessional element and, although the other officers were re- elected, may serve to take the organiza- tion out of the rut it has followed for several years. A Rose Show. June 14 the Pennsylvania Horticul- tural Society added its annual rose show to the peony exhibition. This proved to be a disappointment. Instead of thou- sands of blooms, as was expected by the society, only hundreds, many of them of inferior quality, were shown. The unseasonable weather was blamed for the poor showing. The judges of this exhibition were Dr. Robert Huey and Robert Kift. The half-dozen exhibitors were local private gardeners and ama- teurs. This show probably is the last that will be heUl in Horticultural hall, for, as has been recorded in The Review, the building has been sold as unprofitable to the Pennsylvania Horticultural So- ciety. OPEN UETTEl^y^ KEADED6 FOREHANDEDNESS IN BUYING. I have l)een much impressed of late })}' a condition of affairs which is not unusual, l>ut which is none tlio less de- plorable. The ])oint to which I refer is a differ- ence in the i)urcliasing of materials, when the small florists and large florists are compared. The large growers all over tlie coun- try have jilaced their orders many months in advance, covering such wire materials as tliey will need. The little fellows are, with few ex- ceptions, waiting until the last moment, thinking that wire ])rices may come down, or failing to realize the scarcity of such material for immediate delivery. I believe tiiat you can conscientiously call to the florists' attention the desir- ability of anticipating their needs in fields where supplies arc at a premium, thus making it possible for them to avoid a shortage. Joseph M. Wilkin. A VOICE FROM GUERNSEY. My attention has been attracted by the j)ajter on "Bulb Growing in Hol- land" which appeared in The Review for February 1.1, 1917. The author, J. Van Leeuwen, of Sassenheim, Holland, refers to the narcissus trouble which during the last four or five years has done considerable damage wherever the l)ull)s are grown. This trouble, which usually has been styled fusarium, but which recent inves- tigations have proved to be caused by the eelworm, has been known in Eng- land and Guernsey for about four years; and we have it on the authority of some of the most reliable English nurserymen tliat, at the time they first saw it in their stocks, they observed it in bulbs imjiorted from Holland, Guernsey and various districts in England. The English board of agriculture, in leaflet No. 256, which was issued in June, 1914, and which dealt with this troul)le, says: "The disease is known in Holland, from whence it may often be reintroduced into this country (Eng- land) by means of slightly infected bulbs. ' ' It is not my business to charge any country with the introduction of this pest, but I wish to emphatically contra- dict the statement made by Mr. Van Leeuwen that this pest was first intro- duced into Holland in 1915. Writing from personal knowledge, I have seen, many bulbs imported from Holland in 191.*? and 1914 which were badly in- fected with this pest. Every effort is being made to stamp it out, and with the more natural meth ods of growing that obtain in Guernsey and England the trouble has not played such havoc as it has in Holland, accord ing to Mr. Van Leeuwen. Probably this is due to the excessively high feeding that bulbs get in Holland, witli a view to obtaining roots of abnormii! size. Holland growers have for jeavt. looked to Guernsey to renew their stocks, their practice being to obtain from Guernsey a healthy, hard bulb o' planting size. Our business as bulb growers, whethei' in America, Holland, England or Guern sey, should be to find some means tc eliminate this pest rather than to throw stones at one another. The Royal Hor- ticultural Society at its gardens at Wisley, England, has been investigating this subject, and we hope in the near future to be able to deal with it satis- factorily. Meanwhile forcers would be well advised to secure hard, well ripened bulbs rather than enormous roots of softer texture, which are much more likely to fall victims to this trouble. E. T. Wheadon, President Guernsey Growers' Asso- ciation. PARIS GREEN FOR THRIPS. George A. Knapp, of Nevada, Mo., supplies the formula for the use of Paris green for thrips called for in The Re- view of June 14. It appears it origi- nally was supplied by Wendland & Keimel Co., Elmhurst, 111., and was as follows: "Our formula is: Take five pounds of brown sugar to one pound of Paris green; mix dry; run through a fine screen to take out lumps. "To apply, take two ounces of the mixture to two gallons of water in sprayer for 200 feet of bench; apply this in the afternoon late, or after syringing, while the plants are still wet, and if clear the next day syringe off to prevent the leaves burning. "If used about once a week this will keep the plants clean, except possibly in April and May, while lilacs and snow- balls are in bloom. During that time it could be used oftener, but never apply a second time without syringing the first application off, or it will burn the plants. Do not mix lime or any other alkali with this, as it keeps the thrips from eating the sugar and kills the effect of the poison." C. L. Washburn says Bassett & Wash- burn have used this formula successfully on roses, but the following letter comes from J. W. Jones, of Phipps Conserva- tory, Schenley park, Pittsburgh: As a rulp. immediately on receipt of The Ueview I look it over, as I always find some- tliing interesting in it. In doinR so last Satur- day I read tlie folIowinR: "Formula wanted, and directions for using I'aris green and brown sugar as an insecticide." I have used Paris green and lirown sugar as an insecticide to my sorrow, using- tlie I'aris green in a very small proportion, and would never use it again, especially on clirysanthemums. Fearing the reader might ex- perience the same trouble, I would advise him to experiment before using it in quantity. Elmer I). Smith & Co.. Adrian, Mich., could furnish you tlie formula, as at present I cannot recall or find it. Burlington, Vt.— W. E. Peters finds much to encourage him, although the season for planting is so late.

The Florists^ Review 11 WHAT HAPPENED IN CANADA. No Need for Worry. "We think that in the United States, judging from the experience of the florists in Canada, you will have little need to worry in regard to business in the florists' line." Thus does George M. Geraghty, man- ager of Dunlop's, Toronto, Ont., sum- marize his opinion of what will be the effect of the war on the florists' busi- ness in the United States. Canadian florists have been facing war conditions for nearly three years. So that American florists could get a line on what may happen to their busi- nesses while the United States is at war, The Eeview asked prominent re- tailers in the neighboring country to write of their experiences since August 4, 1914, the date Great Britain entered the conflict, for the benefit of their brothers in tlie trade across the border. The declaration of war nearly three years ago was sudden and its effect on business in those countries involved was great. Time, however, brouglit readjustment to meet the conditions. Thus, when the United States entered the conflict, the action of this country brought little change for the simple reason that business was used to it and knew the war would not have tlie disastrous effect that was expected three years ago. Panic When War Started. The panic which the Canadian mem- bers of the trade experienced at the outset of the war did not hit the florists in the United States. Neither will it. There are bound to be some readjust- ments, but on the whole, judging from the experience of the Canadian florists, business will continue as before Aj)ril 6 of the present year. The history of the war's effects in Canada, as told by members of the trade there, follows: ' ' After the declaration of war, the florists' business throughout the coun- try was seized with severe panic, on the theory that everything was going to the dogs. Help in all lines was laid off and those retained had their wages cut anywhere from ten to thirty per cent, people thinking that business would cease entirely. A scheme of retrenchment set in that, for a month or two, practically paralyzed the busi- ness. However, things soon took a turn for the better; wages were re- stored, and business, considering all things, looked promising. Big Call for Hospitals. "As a great number of wealthy people, and tliat means the flower buyers, sent their sons, brothers and husbands to the war, there arose a feel- ing against anything that would seem to be of too much gayety and, there- fore, the florists suffered. Dinners and receptions were cut off and it left only the individual and hospital, not to mention funeral orders, to help the florist out. ' ' Where a few people used to send to the hospitals, it is now quite the thing, especially as almost everybody, who is in the least indisposed and who can afford it, immediately goes to a private hospital and friends respond by sending quantities of flowers. "Again, owing to the large number of casualties in hospitals in France and England and through our extensive ad- vertising of the fact that we can have flowers sent to these hospitals by our foreign correspondents, we have con- siderable of this work to attend to. "In the matter of funerals, people are sending more flowers than formerly. There is plenty of money in Canada at the present time, and it is in this way that • the people are expressing them- selves. More Funeral Orders. ' ' In the matter of weddings, these are carried out quietly and few of tliem have any elaborate decoration. Tlie bouquets themselves and the at- tendants' flowers are just as elaborate as ever. "We think that in the United States, judging from the experience of the florists in Canada, you will liave little need to worry in regard to l)usi- ness in the florists' line. "It is, of coiirse, known that every- thing has gone up in ])rice with the exception of flowers, but, so far as we are concerned, we think it inadvisable to j)lace flowers at too high a price, as it would tend to frighten the pros- pective buyer and the money would then be sjient for fruit, books or candy. "The war will not last forever, and it is well to keep one's customers and have them satisfied. This, we can safely say uj) to the present time, we liave done, although it has been at a cost of profit.'' — George M. (ieraghty, manager, l)unloj)'s, Toronto, Ont. "War was declared August 4, 1014, and at that time business was, so to speak, booming. The first part of the year was the best we had ever had. JBy October sales began to drop off and continued to do so until the spring of 1915, when they picked up to about eighty per cent of normal. In 1916 sales again improved, but during the winter and spring of 1917 business has shown a decided falling off. The fall- ing off in sales is not the worst feature. The cost of production and selling cost have so increased without a corre- sponding increase in selling price that profits for the time are eliminated. Training Camps Bring Business. "An indication that we were more favorably situated than in some other cities and towns is shown by the fall- ing off in business since the large num- ber of troops, from 5,000 to 12,000, which were in training here during 1915 and 1916, have gone overseas. Both officers and men were liberal buyers of flowers and, since their departure, the decrease in demand for the better quality is noticeable. ' ' The demand for funeral work has not diminished to any extent, while that for weddings is almost a thing of the past. The wealthy people, who before the war were regular buyers of flowers, now seldom indulge. On the other hand, munition workers and others, who are earning a good wage, have become the flower buyers. But with them it is not a matter of quality so much as price. Therefore we found it necessary to change our methods of merchandising." — J. G. Gamnuoge, secretary-treasurer, J. Gammage & Sons, Limited, London, Out. It will he understood from these letters that the uses to which flowers are put in Canada have been consid- erably changed, but business is good. Florists in the Ignited States need have little fear of the war's effect on their business. THIS DISPLAY SOLD ITSELF. A tinielv and striking patriotic win- ildvv of tile .1. W.

Benjamin Hammond, Sec'y. BED RADIANCE IN MISSISSIPPI. In the month of July, 1916, I bought 500 2^/2-inch Red Radiance rese plants and planted them in a bench at once. They made wonderfully strong growth and by September were producing sal- able blooms. In October I propagated 1,000 cuttings from them, and by De- cember tlie original plants were pro- ducing first-class, long-stemmed blooms, for which I realized twirs^ as much as for Richmond. In the last part of De- cember I propagated 2,000 more cut- tings. The stock plants continued to make fine growth and produce excel- lent blooms. March 1 I used all of the wood, putting into the sand 12,000 cut- tings, of whicli nearly every one rooted. Then I lifted the plants and put them out in the open field, under a Skinner irrigating system. They are now com- mencing to bloom, and I do not hesi- tate to say that Red Radiance is the best red rose, botli for forcing and out- door blooming, that 1 have ever seen. Among its good qualities, in my opin- ion, are these: It produces salable blooms tliirtv days earlier than Rich- mond in the fall, and continues in flower thirty to sixty days longer in the spring. It is fifty per cent more valu- able than most other varieties. It is a free, strong grower and bloomer. It is not subject to mildew; sulphur on the pipes or dixsted on the foliage early in the fall will prevent mildew entirely. I am planting under glass this sum- mer, for next winter's blooming, 8,000 Red Radiance and 30,000 Radiance. They are without question the best roses for this climate, in the vicinity of Columbus, Miss. Often in midwinter the outdoor atmosphere here is such that "it is too warm to fire and too damp not to fire." Radiance stands these conditions better than any other variety and is in every way better than Richmond and Killarney. The thing I need worst now is a white Radiance. T. G. Owen. grown men's attention. Many people believe they have no time to waste, as they would say, in simply juggling with the letters of the alphabet and trying to drop each individual letter Into Its proper place. If so employed, many strenuous business men would feel too much like children playing with lettered blocks. Most of the successful estab- lishments, however, are so well organ- ized that every little detail of the busi- ness, including the spelling of names, is attended to carefully by some member of the force. Hence, when the proprie- tors of such an establishment issue a catalogue, the names of the listed va- rieties of stock are usually spelled cor- rectly. And the accuracy of the cata- logue is a reason for just pride. That brings us to the point at issue. In some of the recent catalogues the jiopular little yellow polyantha or baby rambler rose, George Elger, is referred to as Elgar, with an "a" in the second syllable instead of an "e. " The rose was originated in 1913, by E. Turbat & A RED CROSS BED. I want to make a flower bed wit' a red cross in the center. What woul be the best plants to use for the cross . Something bright red is wanted. What would be the best plants to use for white and blue? C. E. H.— 111. Use Alternanthera brilliantissima for the red cross. For blue, one of the dwarf ageratums, such as Stella Gurney, would prove more reliable than blue lobelia, although the latter is decidedly the better blue. For white, Alyssum Little Gem would be suitable. C. W. POINSETTIAS FOR CHRISTMAS. When is the proper time to take poin- settia cuttings so as to have plants in 3-inch and 4-inch pots in bloom at Christmas? S. L. L. — la. Cuttings of poinsettias for 3-inch and 4-inch pots need not go in until early August. You cannot, of course, have as fine plants from late cuttings as when they are put in during May and June. C.

This little item has reference to the spelling of a name and so will not inter- est readers who regard questions of or- thography as mere trifles, unworthy of Cultural Notes for Siunmer. The end of June should find all the chrysanthemums planted out. Much has been written on the subject of raised beds versus solid beds. In the south the solid bed, especially for chrysanthemums, has all the best of the argument. Along the gulf coast, where the atmosphere is so humid and hot, the plants require to be sprayed several times a day, and the walks also should be dampened well. When spray- ing the plants bear in mind not to spray always from the same side of the bed, but to do it from both sides; otherwise the back row will have small and thin foliage and the flowers will be much undersized. The spraying must be kept up until the buds are ready to show color, as the red spider is apt to appear, and when- ever spider comes it is good-bye salable flowers. Black and green flies are best kept down by using one of the tobacco sprays regularly — say every ten days. It is most important to have the plants thoroughly clean of this pest by the time the buds show color; other- wise much loss will result. Perhaps the worst pest of the mum is thrips. The minute that the nights begin to get a little cool thrips seem to hunt winter quarters in the greenhouse, and in spite of the greatest care they gen- erally do a lot of damage. Disinfectants and Pertilizers. Regular biweekly sprayings with tobacco extracts should be given from the time the bud is taken until it shows color. Tobacco stems should also be used freely in the walks and on the wire supports. The idea is to keep a strong tobacco smell in the houses at all times, so that thrips will keep out. June 21, 1917. The Florists' Review 13 T lose varieties of mums which develop t eir flowers from the bud in the short- e t time suffer less from thrips than \ irieties that take a long time to de- \ lop their flowers. Mrs. H. Eobinson j probably the most popular white for /U Saints' day; yet in the gulf states i takes two months to develop its J )wers. This makes it a regular mark 1 ir thrips. The plants must be kept tied up as 1 ist as they need it, and the surface f. )il should be frequently stirred, l.nough manure is generally put in the f.>il at planting time to carry the plants along for some time. About August 1 i-i a good time for a top-dressing. Some j:nely ground bone should first be ap- ])lied and then sprinkled over with Jime to aid in its dissolution. Lastly a f^ood inch of fairly fresh cow manure should be spread over all. This will keep the plants in good shape until the time comes for liquid fertilizing, after the bud is taken. L. COSMOS IN THE SOUTH. Cosmos are always a useful crop in the south. Seeds may be sown now and the young plants set out in the field as soon as big enough. In the extreme south, seed sown by August 1 will yield a fine crop by the end of October. Where large quantities are grown, plant in beds four feet wide, four rows to the bed, leaving a walk two feet wide between the beds to make picking easy. This method saves much space. The plants will require a few workings after being set out. L. HYDRANGEAS IN THE SOUTH. Any old hydrangea plants ought to be shaken out thoroughly, trimmed back and repotted in the same sized pots in well enriched soil. Young plants in 2% -inch pots may be shifted into 4-inch pots and all plunged in a coldframe. Give lots of water during the summer growing, season. As the fall approaches, reduce the supply, A little shade in the shape of lath sash, spaced rather wide, will be of great benefit to the plants. L. SHADING FOR GREENHOUSES, Will you please publish a formula for making a whitewash to be used on a greenhouse for shade? We want a mix- ture that will not wash off too easily or injure the wood. G. M. T. S. — 111. A prominent grower recommends this formula as the best that he has ever tried: Take ordinary Spanish whiting and stir into it enough water to make a thick cream. After allowing this to stand a couple of days, dilute to the desired state and add a 3-inch potful of linseed oil to each three gallons of the spraying liquid. Apply it to the glass with a spray pump. "This ma- terial," says the grower, "will not in- jure the paint, as a lime wash does, and it will not leave a scum on the glass, as mud does." Another authority says that the best shading he has used consists of whiting and turpentine, but since it is rather expensive and should be applied with a brush, it is not desirable, he says, for large ranges. It is excellent, however, for show rooms and small conserva- tories. Where an extremely light shading is wanted for a small area of glass, a mix- V '■■' .t'r ;• ' . hfffm s^J I \Af," r i i^mJ^ ^ 9mM im yvi ml.

A heavier shading for a small house is composed of two pounds of whiting, one pound of white lead and one gallon of kerosene. Either of these two mixtures should be applied to the glass with a long-han- dled whitewash brush. Ordinary whitewash is the cheapest shading in first cost and is easy to ap- ply, either with a brush or a spray pump, and it does not permit so large a proportion of the heat rays to pene- trate the glass as is the case with some other preparations, but it has the seri- ous objection of injuring the putty and thus making a roof become leaky much sooner than it otherwise would. work severely. The growing stock beneath was badly cut and smashed. Louis Bauscher, manager of the com- pany, stated that the heating and ventilating system of the range was ruined. Pipes from an overhead water tank were broken, permitting 10,000 gallons of water to spurt out and inun- date the place. There is no insurance covering the losses.

P.Eich, Sec'y, So that A. D. King, whose green- house range and home at Mattoon, 111., were destroyed by a cyclone May 26, can get a fresh start, J. F. Ammann, secretary of the Illinois State Florists' Association, now asks those in the trade who cannot contribute cash to the fund for Mr. King to give of their surplus stock. Mr. King's $30,000 establishment was completely wiped out and he was left penniless. Mr. Ammann 's letter addressed to the trade is as follows: Aftor fiirthrr corrpspondence with Mr. Kinp, of Mattoon, III., he writos me that he has no stock h'ft at nil. If any florist could spare him some chrysanthemum or carnation plants or any other stock. I would supgest you write to Mr. King what you have to spare, so he may select what he can best use. .Many, I am sure, who cannot contribute cash will clieerfully Rive a few plants to a fellow craftsman in distress.

The plants should be placed outdoors, laid on their sides in a warm, sunny location and left alone until Au- gust, when they will require repotting. I'lants in benches should be dried off. As the foliage ripens off, lift and pack the tubers in a loam that is tolerably dry. If you are short of strong flower- ing roots it will pay you to plant out a number of offsets, in well manured ground. It is really surprising how these will increase in size and vigor in a few months. Hardy Lupines. Of the June-flowering hardy peren- nials which are adaptable for cutting, lupines are among the best. They come in several colors— blue, white and pink. The variety Moerheimii is a beautiful pink shade; so is Pink Beauty. Seeds sown now will give plants of sufficient strength to flower before cold weather, and they will be plants of good size for either fall or spring sales. Lupines, like most herbaceous plants, are fond of a rich soil and an open, sunny exposure. They sometimes are attacked by black aphis as the flowers open and may need a soap or nicotine spray. Pyrethrums. The forms of Pyrethrum roseum are all valuable for cutting and in some sections prove useful for Memorial day bouquets. They carry quite long and stiff stems, last remarkably well in water, are reliably winter-hardy and can be grown from seeds quite easily. The single varieties are of the easiest culture and propagation. The doubles are occasionally grown from seed, but most frequently by division. White forms of the latter are as valuable as carnations or asters in design work. Plants, if divided in late July or Au- gust, will be well established before winter. Late divisions will probably die. Undivided plants can be safely set out as late as the end of October. They should always have well drained land; a heavy winter protection is liable to rot them. There still is ample time to make a sowing of these. They germinate readily and make a fairly rapid growth. Viola Comuta. As an edging plant, especially where it can hang over stones, Viola comuta is unrivaled. The variety comuta has somewhat pale blue flowers. V. cornuta atropurpurea has dark blue flowers and it is more vigorous than the type. I consider it the finest low-growing per- ennial in cultivation, as it blooms con- tinuously from May until December. I have even seen flowers on it in January. While it can be grown from seed, it does not always come true; but this is no drawback, as a single clump can be in- creased by hundreds or thousands in a season by division of the root or cut- tings. There is also a pure white form of this viola which makes a charming companion to the dark blue one. Any iforist who is as yet without Viola comuta should lose no time in securing it. He should remember that it is per- fectly hardy, and that plants 2 or 3 years old are vastly better than those only a year old. For the rock garden it is one of the finest plants we have. It makes a splendid ground cover and edging. In addition it is not attacked, so far as I know, by any insects or diseases. Delphiniums, or Larkspurs. S})ikes will soon be opening on the delphiniums, or larkspurs. Peonies are considered by many the queen of her- baceous perennials and it is true that during their comparatively brief season they make a gorgeous showing. They are, however, a heavy and clumsy flower compared with larkspurs, which have a stateliness none can gainsay. Some growers complain of stems dying on their plants. This is specially true of clumps which are old and have not been transplanted for a number of years. Larkspurs to succeed well should have a shift once in four years. A largi; number of named delphiniums hav(; been raised by Amos Perry, Kelway, and other specialists, and these can be secured from reliable seedsmen wIkj si)ecialize in perennial seeds; but for the average country florist it will suffice to sow mixed packets of light blue and dark blue hybrids of formosum anc[ that l)eautiful variety. Belladonna, which now is procurable from seeds and comes jierfectly true. Sow the seeds now and most of the plants will blooff; before frost, provided they are pricked off first and later carefully transplanted to nursery rows^oFbeds. No grower can go far wrong in /working up a good stock of the hardy larkspurs. Ask your customers to come and see them when in bloom. Tliey are sure to order them. Ashtabula, O.— The Tong & Weeks Floral Co., E. A. Adams & Sons and C. ('. Phelps & Son have petitioned the city for permission to extend gas mains across certain streets, for the purpose of getting gas delivered from the main dis- tributing point. Perhaps the Ashtabula growers calculate to asphyxiate the high cost of coal this winter by substi- tuting gas for the precious black dia- monds. SWEET PEAS OF TOMORROW. The Early- Blooming Spencers. A cordial invitation from Howard M. Earl to visit the Fordhook Farms of W. Atlee Burpee & Co. was one of those- happy incidents that promise an hour of absorbing interest. Mr. Earl said that George W. Kerr would be there to show the sweet peas and to tell of his trip to the seed growing farm at Flora- dale, in the Lompoc valley of far-off California. So on the morning of June 15 the first train over the Reading railroad to Lonsdale was taken. Then over a single-track road, through a beautiful rolling country, to the Farm School, where Mr. Kerr was waiting on the station platform with a hearty greeting. Everv moment of the hour and a half that followed was delightful. The walk through the woods to the trial grounds at Fordhook has always pos- sessed an especial charm. That day it was of the morning freshness after the rain of the afternoon before. During the walk Mr. Kerr described his visit to California, from which he has just returned. He dwelt especially on the 100 acres of the firm's seed farm at Floradale, where the sweet peas are being grown and tested. The favor- able climatic conditions were carefully described. The early spring rains, the cool nights continuing into summer, the even temperature, the dryness during harvest — all were mentioned as factors in aiding a fertile soil to produce re- sults that are little short of marvelous. Outdoor Peas in Bloom May 15? The sweet pea trial grounds at Ford- hook were a distinct surprise. It was the fifteenth day of June. No one in this locality has sweet peas in bloom outdoors. You say you have them? I do not doubt your word, but let me tell you that they have been scarce in Philadelphia, where all the sweet peas from outdoors that are coming into the market are from coldframes. Here were peas in full bloom, long rows of them, peas that evidently had been in bloom for at least a month. This sight was the more surprising because I clearly remembered that on a previous visit, when the Burpees had a party at Fordhook at about this sea- son of the year, the sweet peas were only just coming into flower. Mr. Kerr explained the matter. These sweet peas were early Spencer varieties. Prac- tically nobody grows anything but Spencers now, but they were started in pots under glass. Here was some- JUNB 21, 1917. i K nocistaF Review 15 tiling worth while. Sweet peas are 1, anted in the Philadelphia cut flower Market and probably in the markets of Piany other cities from May 15 to , line 15. During that month sweet peas ihat are grown in greenhouses are apt to be poor. The early-flowering vari- . ties started in the greenhouse and ' ransplanted outdoors, or grown in 1 oldf rames for the market require- jiients, and the Spencer varieties grown ill the same way, are too late. They ^vill not flower until after June 15, •vhen the market commences to decline. Here, right in front of us, lay what the sweet pea growers of America want, early-blooming Spencer sweet peas. Mr. Kerr's Nine Years' Work. Mr. Kerr said that when he first came to this country from England nine years ago he had been attracted by the sweet peas in the store windows in winter. He had never seen them at home — often in summer, never in winter. Sweet peas had been his life's work. He commenced then to improve the sweet pea by hybridizing with the object of securing early-blooming win- ter sweet peas that would be the peer of the finest summer-flowering vari- eties. The varieties in the store win- dows then were, of course, of the old grandiflora type. Countess Spencer and the first of her great train of de- scendants had just become generally known and admired. So Mr. Kerr began work with the definite aim of producing a race of Spencer peas that would flower as early as the varieties of the grandiflora type. This has been accomplished after nine years' work. The first crosses were madi' with the earliest varieties of the grandiflora ty})e, Burpee's Earliest of All, Burpee's Earliest White, and so on. Then came crosses with the Spencers, by that time an increasingly numerous family. Then Yarrawa appeared. The merits of this sterling variety have made it Mr. Kerr's choice for a pod parent. Chief among Yarrawa 's good qualities is its ability to stand variations of temperature in the greenhouse without showing signs of stress. So on Yar- rawa the pollen of many promising crosses was carefully dusted. An important precept of Mendelism, one which Mr. Kerr has proved correct, -is seed variation in the first year. In- ability to recognize this law has un- doubtedly cost sweet pea hybridizers dearly. I tried to shake Mr. Kerr in his belief on this point, because, being ignorant of it, it seemed to me some- what improbable. Mr. Kerr only be- came more firm. It is absolutely impossible to tell what a sweet pea seedling will be until its second year, was his final statement. Not even half of them retain the same color in their second year they displayed during their first season of blooming. After the second year the type is apt to remain fixed. Burpee's Foiirteen Seedlings. There were fourteen seedlings in the trial grounds; all were of tried merit. A few have been sent out in a limited way; the remainder are to be sent out next season. They covered a wide range of colors and all showed Spencer blood. Commercially speaking, Ford- hook Pink and White is the most inter- esting, because, in ])lain Englisli, it is an extra early sweet ])ea of Blanche iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii: IwHO'SWHOISaSE-ANDWHyI ^llllllllllllllllllllllilllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll^ COMIMODOBE JOHN NEWTON CHAMPION.

Next in point of interest among these wonderful seedlings is Snowstorm, a pure white sweet pea, as its name so well implies, and one of large size. Already one and one-half acres of Snowstorm are growing at Floradale, although its early history bade fair to end in a tragedy. The remaining twelve varieties are all good. They range in color from scarlet and carmine through sunburst shades and lavender and pinks to palest primrose. Their names are so cleverly cliosen as to be descriptive to those familiar with the leading varieties of sweat peas. Near the sweet pea trial grounds are a few rows of peas that illustrate one of Mr. Kerr's j)oints of culture in fall planting of sweet peas to secure early dowering outdoors. Many of the experts claim that fall planting suc- ceeds about once in tliree times. On tlie other two occasions the seed will rot. Here at Fordliook is Mr. Kerr's answer — a heavy, vigorous, free-flow- ering lot of sweet jieas. He insists tliat liis metliod insures the grower against failure. It is simply this: Sow the seeds, for the latitude of Philadelphia, during October. Protect the rows from December until March with slant- ing boards, running lengthwise, with a pane of glass over the top; then remove the glass and later the boards. Of course, this method is in addition to tlie usual cultural course for securing early outdoor sweet peas. The demon- stration was proof of its efficiencv.

While the plants enjoy a plentiful supply of water, there is a limit beyond which moisture be- comes a detriment rather than a benefit. A heavy shower will do no harm if the soil be cultivated before the next one, but when one heavy rain follows an- other, with no chance for cultivation be- tween, it soon packs the soil down so that it cannot be worked into proper condition during the current season. Do not work the soil while it is wet, but get into it at every opportunity. About this time we usually find it necessary to go through the carnation field with the hoe, cutting out the weeds and loosening the soil between the plants. With the cultivator you can keep down the weeds rather well be- tween the rows, but between the plants in the row you must use the hoe. If you have experienced men for this work, you are fortunate, as in many instances it is necessary to put on men who have had no experience, except, perhaps, in the corn field back home. We find most of these men inclined to draw up the soil around the plants, the same as they did when hoeing corn. Others will draw away the soil, leaving the plant stand- ing high and likely to fall over after the first rain. Avoid' both of these condi- tions. Stoop down to pull the weeds that are too close to the plants to be hoed out properly, leaving the soil as it was before the hoeing, except for the loosening up. When the Young Shoots Lengthen. You now will find it necessary to go over the plants every little while to top back any young shoots that begin to lengthen out. It is better to go over them often, taking out one or two shoots at a time, rather than to top back a large number of shoots at one time. In that way you will get shoots in every stage of development and promote a steady cut of blooms throughout the seasoia, rather than in crops. In top- ping always strive to produce well bal- anced, bushy plants. Aim to secure plants that will stand upright and re- plant without breaking when trans- ferred to the benches. There is a great difference in varieties and this must alwavs be kept in mind when topping. Sucli' varieties as Beacon and Enchan- tress will need little topping as com- pared with Gloriosa, Good Cheer, Ne- braska and others of that type of growth. The former will make four or five breaks when topped, while the other type will usually make two breaks and sometimes even only one, which makes it necessary to go over the latter type oftener to avoid straggly growth. When topping the plants be sure you do not merely pull out the leaves, leav- ing the heart to grow right out again, as is often done. This is a waste of time and does the plant- no good. A good plan is to leave a shoot until you can see the stem between the leaves, and then break out the tip, leaving as many joints as the habit of the plant warrants. Hoeing, cultivating and topping the young carnations constitute the major portion of the plants' requirements while they are in the field. If you attend to these matters properly, you should have good plants to bench, but you cannot expect to have good plants unless you do attend to the field work properly. A. F. J. Baur. ABOUT THE GLASS. I am going to build a greenhouse this summer and would like to know what is the best grade of glass to use. The size I need is 14x18. I have been told not to get double A because I shall not be able to get good insurance on it. I have also heard that the majority of houses are built of extra heavy single strength B. I shall need sixty boxes of glass and would like to know about what the cost would be per box. Can you give me the name of some good glass manufacturing company? G. H.— Mo. The best glass for greenhouses is double strength A; anything else, at best, is on tlie "just as good" order. Many builders of greenhouses use the B grade on the north side, although thcv jjay the extra price for the best grade for the south side. Double strength glass costs more, but breaks less easily and the insurance on double strength is less in proportion than on single strength. Single strength glass usually is plenty strong enough to carry a winter's load of snow, but sometimes a hail storm will break most of the single strength glass and little that is double strength. Many buyers of glass no doubt are influenced principally by the price, but the man who is building a large place for cut flowers would do well to consider first the freedom from blisters, the color of the glass and its even thickness, rather than the few pennies per box that may be saved on a less desirable quality. There is a great deal of difference in this respect. For quotations on any quantity or grade write to the advertisers who are offer- ing glass in The Eeview. H. O. MX7MS FOB A BEQINNEB. What varieties of chrysanthemums would you advise a beginner to grow, and how would you proportion the colors? We expect to grow about 1,000 plants. Would 2^/4 or 2%-inch plants be satisfactory? We want to grow the greater part of these one flower to a plant. We also wish to grow about 250 plants in pots, 100 of them yellow, fifty pink, fifty white and twenty-five each of white and pink pompons. When is the proper time to start the plants? J. S,— Mich. A beginner in mums should grow the varieties known to the trade as "easy doers," as they are the varieties that give maximum satisfaction and blooms with minimum effort and trouble. It is somewhat difficult to tell any man what to grow when one is not acquainted with his market, but it is a safe rule that every market has a larger call for yellows than for any other color. Of 1,000 plants, I would suggest that at least 400 of them be yellow, 300 white, 200 pink and 100 bronze. The follow- ing varieties cover the season fairly well and are all of what is known as the com- mercial type: Yellow, Golden Glow, Chrysolora, Yellow Eaton, Major Bonnaffon and Yellow Chadwick. Golden Glow gives the first flowers, from September to about October 1, and Yellow Chadwick may be planted to flower from Thanks- giving to Christmas. White, Early Frost, Oconto, Polly Eose, White Chieftain and White Chad- wick. Pink, Unaka, Pacific Supreme, Chief- tain, Nerissa and Patty. Many growers cling to the old Maud Dean for a late pink, but if one wishes an extremely late pink, he should try W. T. Brock. This is the best one, in my opinion. Bronze is neglected in most markets, wrongly so, I think. New York city w^ll take more bronze mums than any- thing else. The artists know that the color blends well with the autumn foliage. Three satisfactory bronze va- rieties are: Tints of Gold, early; Mrs. O. H, Kahn and Glenview, Eegarding the pot plants, I would suggest the Cap family, which is the standard almost the world over for pot plants. Use 100 Yellow Cap and fifty each of Pink Cap and White Cap. Two fine white and pink pompons would be White Doty and Lillian Doty, or Queen of the Whites and the pink Esa. Two splendid whites in the Japanese anem- one types, largely grown for the east- (Mu markets, are Garza and C. L. Hutchinson. Eegarding the proper time to plant, florists usually plant stock as soon as they get the houses cleaned out, in June. Pot plants can be planted any time now. Plants in 2i^-inch pots would be entirely satisfactory to buy. It is not suggested that the list submitted will be satisfactory for every section of the country, but on broad, general lines, it will be found as good a list as anv. Chas. H. Totty. JUNB 21, 1917. The Florists^ Review 17 SOCIETY OF AMERICAN FLORISTS. GUARANTORS FOR NEXT SHOW. Backers for St. Louis Event. Now that the question of the building for the Fifth National Flower Show, at St. Louis, has been decided upon, the work of the show will be pushed with vigor. The flower show committee will, of course, consult the St. Louis Florists' Club and local florists' interests before going ahead with any of the arrange- ments, and the wishes of these bodies will be considered wherever possible. With everyone working in a spirit of harmony, there is no question but what the Fifth National Flower Show will be as successful as any held in the past. The following have placed their names on the guarantors' list, and the total subscribed is a few hundred dollars less than the $10,000 required, so if you are interested we would ask that you send in your subscription promptly so that the list may be closed: Henderson, Peter & Co.

Mr. Eobinson furnished the deco- rations for the wedding, which was an unusually pretty affair, and the designer at the Eobinson store produced artistic bouquets for the bride, maid of honor and bridesmaids. Both Mr. and Mrs. Fuller are popular in Springfield. THE CONVENTION GARDEN. Some active work is now in progress at the New York Botanical Garden, Bronx park, covering the layout of the Convention Garden. The backward season has been greatly in favor of the plantings, and at present it looks as though planting operations may con- tinue for two or three weeks more. The public, too, is taking extraordinary interest in the Convention Garden, as is usual with all the work of the Botan- ical Society, and the work is being done under acute observation. Judg- ing from the interest commonly ex- pressed in the society's garden work, it is expected that the Sunday crowd of visitors alone will run to the 75,000 mark. These visitors are not altogether flat-dwellers, as one may observe when looking over the license plates on the automobile parkings of a Sunday. The rate for planting space is low, only 10 cents per square foot. Conse- NATIONAL FLOWER SHOW. Special Notice Because the Fourth of July falls on Wednesday this year, it becomes necessary to go to press with that week's issue of WIB¥ One day earlier than usual TUESDAY instead of Wednesday Contributors and advertisers who wish to avoid possible disappoint- ment will have their "copy" in this office MONDAY for the issne of July 5. quently anyone who lias a specialty in the horticultural lines to exploit will lose a grand opportunity for publicity if advantage is not taken of this garden. George V. Nash, the head gardener at the Botanical Garden, is giving the Convention Garden personal and con- stant supervision, a fact which speaks well for its success. Of course, the plantings are not con- fined solely to novelties. Many retail florists would do well to think of the publicity they could get for small cost by making artistic plantings. The op- portunity is here. Will it avail ? Up to June 15 the following have se- cured space in the garden: W,. A. Manda, John Scheepcrs & Co., Inc.; Bob- bink & Atkins, A. N. Pierson, Inc.; Conard & Jones Co., Henry A. Dreer, Inc.; John Lewis Childs, Eaymond W. Swett, Arthur T. Boddington, Inc.; Arthur Cowee, B. Hammond Tracy, Wm. Tricker, Thomas Meehan's Sons, A. L. Miller, E. Vincent, Jr., & Sons Co., and Vaughan's Seed Store. John Young, Sec 'y. New Buildings Secured. In The Eeview of June 14 the news was published that new buildings at St. Louis had been secured for the National Flower Show to be held there next spring. Secretary John Young now has issued the following statement re- garding the committee's meeting: There was a meeting of the National Flower Show committee at the Jefferson hotel, St. Louis, June 8 and 9, to complete arrangements for the , 1918 National Flower Show to be held in St. Louis, April 0 to 15. There were present: George Asmus, Chicago, 111., chairman; John Young, New York, secre- tary: J. J. Hess, Omaha, Neb., treasurer; Patrick Welch, Boston, Mass. ; Adolpli Faren- wald, Rosl.vn, Pa.; Robert C. Kerr, Houston, Tex., president of the S. A. F., and A. F. J. Raur, Indianapolis, Ind., secretary of the Amer- ican Carnation Society. While the Coliseum building, where it was originally intended to house the show, was still available, it was, in the opinion of the commit- tee, entirely too small for tlie purposes of tlie exhibition, and for the meetings and the conven- tion of the S. A. F., wliich will be held at the same time. It was finally decided to lease Moolah Temple, 3821 Lindell boulevard, and also the adjoining vacant lot, 15.5x300 feet, upon whicli a temporary building will be erected for the flower sliow. This temporary building will be connected .by a passageway with the second, or lower floor of the Temple, where the trade exhibits will be located. Ample for Trade Exhibits, At no previous National Flower Show were conditions more adequate for exhibits in tlie trade section. The floor space dimensions are about lOOxL'OO feet, and the quarters at present are used as the dining hall for the members of the Temple after their sessions. The main floor, about 75x200 feet. Is expected to be used for exhibits and displa.vs of retail florists. The business meetings of the society will be held in one of the side rooms on this floor. The lot upon which the temporary building that is to house the National Flower Show will be erected, is located at McPherson and Van de Venter avenues, in one of the best residential sections of the cit.v. As the exhibits in the tem- porar.v building will be placed on the bare ground, there will be no danger of damaging any hardwood floors. Consefjuently, there will be unsurpassed watering facilities. Financial Outlook Good. The decision of the society to hold the con- vention and National Flower Show at the same time, in the spring, is approved by the S. A. F. members in all sections of the country, and even at this early date, before the floor plans have been issued, exhibitors are reserving space in the trade section, so the outlook is encourag- ing as to the financial success of the exhibition. From now until the date of the show, there will b<> on the site of the temporary building a huge signboard to be used for publicity purposes. The schedule committee will meet at an early date to revise the schedule alread.v issued, which was comi)iled to meet the somewhat limited space afforded by the floor area of the Coliseum. The new arrangements insure ample room for the exhibits of rock gardens, rose gardens and other displays if it is decided to have such ex- hibits. Red Cross May Cooperate. The committee also held a conference with George W. Simmons, head of the American Red Cross in St. Louis, and it may be that the Red Cross organization will coiiperate in tlie enter- tainment plans, if such course does not conflict with its rules and regtilations, on lines similar to those followed by the organization at the New York show. The committee is grateful for the many cour- tesies extended during the session by the local florists' interests, especiallv to D. S. Geddis, F. II. Meinhardt. Wm. C. Smith and Frank Gorly, who were indefatigable in their efforts to assist the committee in its work. Chagrin Falls, O. — A busy spring- dur- ing which the demand was continually outstripping the supply, has convinced Carlton Lowe that an investment in another greenhouse now would bring good returns. Accordingly, Mr. Lowe will superintend tlie erection of a good- sized house when the hot days come around. 18 The Florists^ Review June 21, 1917. NEW YORK. • 'The Market. It was another week of low prices because o'f the flood of peonies, which donfinated -the market and mad6 all other flower prices weak. Many of the peo'ny arrivals were affected by the hot spell and were useless for the trade. Thousands never .left their boxes. Tens of thousands ate in cold storage. Now come the local and more northern crops, of finer quality. June weddings npw are at high tide. Some of- the. large retail hpuses are averaging two ^r three weddings per day, but there are tew, if any, large decorations, and prices, are badly cut • when one compares them with the con- ditions in the trade before the war. Eoses are not in oversiipply, and choice flowers of Beauty, Hadley, Brun- ner, Bussell and Prima Donna " bring fair prices. Other roses, if of good . quality, also ' are accepted 'at good prices by the leading retailers and maintain their popularity. Shipments are not excessive. There have been large shipments of carnations for many weeks. Accu- mulations were inevitable, and they found almost their only refuge in the pushcart brigade. Longiflorums did not rise above 3 cents; neither did callas. Many were sold at $20 per thousand. Valley holds at last week's quotations. Stock must be perfect for wedding bouquets to touch $5 per hun- dred. All kinds of seasonable flowers may be seen in the wholesale windows, and most of them remain there. Various Notes. Last week Liberty bonds were the principal topic in the market, and every florist seems to be wearing the button. Some of the trade have bought heavily, and many of the wholesalers have made it possible for their employees to own bonds on easy terms. The interest in the coming S. A. F. convention is growing daily. The de- cision to avoid unnecessary display seems to have met with unanimous approval. Secretary Young has re- ceived many communications to this effect. It is believed this will be the most practical and businesslike con- vention the society ever has held. Members of the trade intending to have exhibits are especially jubilant because of the increased attention that will be given to their displays. The Grand Central Palace will be the center of all interest all the time. In the advertisement of the whole- salers who had joined the Sunday clos- ing movement, the names of Eiedel & Meyer, two of the chief movers in its behalf, were inadvertently omitted by the writer of the announcement. Ed. Hanft, of the Hentz & Nash staff, is enjoying two weeks' vacation with his family at Eockaway Park. William Knight, a respected em- ployee of Herman Warendorfif, of the Ansonia, during the last twelve years, died Thursday, June 14, of pneumonia. He leaves a wife and family. Miss Edmondson, bookkeeper for M. C. Ford, is contemplating taking up Bed Cross work, to be ready when her country calls. H. E. Froment has been serving his country as a juror in the Supreme court, and John Gunther is "doing his bit" in the United States court. Since the Sufiday closing movement matured they call J. K. Allen "dea- con" in his home town in New Jersey. Mr. Allen's store has been open every Sunday at 6 a. m. during the last thirty years. W. Gunther has been elected a trus- tee in his church since he gave up business on Sundays, i The Cadjeaux Co. decorated the Church- of St. Stephen and the ball- room of the Majestic June 27 for the Eowan-Hill wedding. G. E. M. Stumpp has opened his sum- mer store at Southampton, L. I. The New York florists who have branches at Newport, B. I., have de- cided to continue them this season, not- withstanding the unfavorable factors. The Convention Garden, retarded by the exceptionally cold season, now begins to look well and promises to be at its best when the conventionists visit it in August. Visitors to Bronx park can find the garden easily by keeping to the right after passing the conserva- tories. J. Austin Shaw. FORT WAYNE, IND. The Market. The weather was warm last week, and there was a large quantity of flowers in the market. The general demand was excellent, commencements creating the biggest call, while weddings were exceedingly numerous. Large funeral orders were a feature of last week's business, including several orders for casket blankets. The shipping trade has been good. Home-grown peonies are flooding the market, but the sale of them is good. Prices are holding up exceptionally well. Eoses are in plentiful supply, Eussells being especially fine, the best of these selling at $15 per hundred. There also are splendid blooms of Shawyer, Ophelia, Hoosier Beauty, Ward and Sunburst. Carnations are more than plentiful, and their quality is excellent. Easter lilies are in good supply and the demand for them in funeral work continues good. Gladiolus offerings are of fine quality and the supply is increasing daily. Sweet peas of the Spencer varieties continue to arrive of splendid quality. Callas are in moderate supply and out- door flowers are increasing in variety. Outdoor snapdragons appeared on the market last week; also cornflowers mignonette, larkspurs, Spanish irises, candytuft, calendulas, pansies, daisies and valley. Orchids rfre scarce and the prices are high. Greens of all kinds are in excellent demand, especially smilax. The demand for bedding plants con- tinues good. June 16 more bedding plants were sold than during any week of the bedding season this year. Various Notes. The June meeting of the Fort Wayne Florists' Club was held June 13 at the Doswell Floral Co. store. In the absence of the president and vice- president, the chairman of the program committee, Mrs. Eichard Blossom, pre- sided. The club decided to hold its annual picnic July 11, the members to go in cars to some lake. Mrs. E. W. Doswell was appointed chairman of the committee in charge of the arrange- ments. The paper for the evening, "Landscape Gardening," by John H. Doswell, was most instructive. Clem Lanternier and Herman J. Leitz, of the New Haven Floral Co., New Haven, Ind., spent last week in Chicago on a business visit. The Flick Floral Co. had some hand- some baskets for the opening of the Steele-Myers department store. This concern has had an unusual quantity of wedding work this month and funeral work has been heavy. The Doswell Floral Co. reports a larger number of weddings than during any previous year in June. Frank Knecht is shipping large quan- tities of Ophelia, Shawyer and Mrs. Chas. Eussell roses to eastern markets. A. J. Lanternier & Co. have had a record business in June weddings and school commencements. They are cut- ting a fine lot of roses at present. Mr. and Mrs. Eichard Blossom and their son, Flick Blossom, are spending a week at Eockford, O., with friends. Ealph Tinkham, of the J. F. Sullivan establishment, Detroit, Mich., is spend- ing several weeks in this city, having come here to attend the wedding of Miss Mildred Flick. Mr. Tinkham and Miss Flick were in the same party that went abroad three years ago, and they were in Lucerne, Switzerland, when the war broke out. E. F. Mews' from roQ! London, England. — There will be no spring shows of consequence this year. Both the London and Birmingham daffo- dil shows were abandoned. Lisse, Holland. — J. J. Grullemans states that it has been terribly dry, little snow or rain having fallen for six or eight weeks during the winter, and the spring has been abnormally cold. Early tulips and hyacinths were in flower when the Darwins . should have been in full bloom. Mr. Grullemans says it is a unique season in his forty years' experience. Paris, France. — The reforestation of the evacuated battlefields already has begun, coniferous seeds being procured in England for the purpose. London, England. — Some of the local War Agricultural Executive Commit- tees in Lincolnshire have been putting pressure on bulb growers to destroy their stocks and plant corn or potatoes. The growers, while willing to do all in their power to assist food production, pointed out that to destroy an acre of bulbs worth $1,250, to grow corn worth $100, would be ruinous. June 21, 1917. The Florists' Review 19 OBITUARY Bodman M. Eisenhart. After an illness of short duration, E. M. Eisenhart, of Torresdale, Pa., passed away June 12. Many years ago Mr. Eisenhart 's skill as a violet grower won for him the cognomen of "Violet King" among Philadelphia tradesmen, and in later years he became famous for his fine sweet peas. He is survived by his wife, a daughter and two sons. John Young. John Young, gardener to Col. Samuel P. Colt, Bristol, E. I., died suddenly June 9 at his home in Bristol. Mr. Young was. stricken with apoplexy while at work on the Colt estate and was as- sisted to his home, where he collapsed and died soon after. He was born in Scotland eighty years ago and after coming to this country was employed on private estates in New York city and at Troy, N. Y. He had been at Linden Place, the Colt estate, twelve years. He leaves a widow. W. H. M. CINCINNATI, O. The Maxket. The market is well supplied with all kinds of seasonable stock, though there is noticeable a reduction in the number of receipts under those of a week ago. The demand, while fair, con- tinues too weak to take care of the large supplies, or even to clear enough stock to support substantial prices. Numer- ous weddings have been productive of good business and last week's school commencements created a lively call, although the demand was confined to a few items of stock. Eoses are in good supply. Carnations are plentiful, but from now on the sup- ply undoubtedly will grow smaller. Easter lilies are most plentiful; gladi- olus offerings include excellent blooms of America; valley meets with a good demand. Among others present ,are sweet peas, snapdragons, larkspurs, coreopsis and cornflowers. Greens are plentiful. The demand from out of town for new ferns is strong. Various Notes. C. E. Critchell has been making large shipments of new ferns during the last fortnight. L. H. Kyrk is back again at his desk, after having been confined to his home last week with a severe cold. William Taylor is cutting excellent America gladioli. P. J. dinger's blooms of liis new red carnation, Eadium, were in large de- mand last week for commencement busi- ness and realized the best carnation prices of the crowded market. The Cincinnati Cut Flower Exchange has been marketing an excellent lot of Easter lilies. C. H. H. Canton, O. — iThe greenhouse formerly conducted by J. W. Martin, on Eoute No. 4, has been acquired by W. H. Clouse, Jr. lola, Kan. — The greenhouses formerly operated by J. W. Primmer have passed to the ownership of J. S. Stremler, who has renamed them lola Greenhouses. VEGETABLES AND FRUITS DEPARTMENT IIPIIIIIIIIIIMIIIIMMIIM^^ THRIPS ON CUCUMBERS. What is the best method of extermi- nating thrips on cucumber plants? Do thrips thrive best in a damp, moist atmosphere? I have tried a lime and sulphur spray and also cyanide gas, but neither of these has done the work. F. J. L.— O. Thrips, or leaf hoppers, thrive best in a dry atmosphere. Try spraying them with a nicotine spray. Add a couple of pounds of soap to every fifty gallons of water to make the mixture sticky. C. W. DISTINGUISHING MUSHBOOMS. There is no simple test for distinguish- ing between edible and poisonous mush- rooms. The only safe mushrooms to eat are those which are gathered by a collector who knows exactly what he is doing. In order ^ to make easier the all-important distinction between poi- sonous and nonpoisonous growths, the U. S. Department of Agriculture has just published a new bulletin entitled, "Some Common Edible and Poisonous Mushrooms," Farmers' Bulletin No. 796. The most common edible mushroom is known to scientists as Agaricus cam- pestris. This variety is not only culti- vated commercially, but is widely dis- tributed and is abundant in the wild state. The cap is fleshy and hemi- spherical in shape, but later becomes expanded and nearly flat. It is smooth, in color white or light brown, and the flesh is white and firm. The gills are , ,A ; white at first, later become pink, and • • ' finally turn a blackish brown. The stem is stout, smooth, and furnished with a ring. This type of mushroom is readily recognized, but there is some possibility that it may be confused with an amanita, of which there are several varieties, most of them extremely poi- sonous. The risk of mistaking the com- mon mushroom for one of these may be avoided if the fungus is not picked until the gills are pink or turning to brown. The gills of the amanita remain white. HOW TO GROW PEANUTS. Will you kindly let me know how to grow peanuts? C. F. S. — 111. As a garden plant the peanut can be grown as far north as central New York, but only a few pods will actually mature seeds. The planting season, as well as the field care of peanuts, is practically the same as for corn. Scat- ter shelled nuts six to ten inches apart in rows thirty to thirty-six inches apart. The vines are tender and will be killed by the first frost. The crop is harvested by lifting the vines and piling around a stake placed upon cleats to keep them off the ground. The roots with the nuts attached should be next to the stake to prevent discoloration by weather. ^Illllllllllllllllllllllllllilllllllllllillllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllilillllllllllllllllllil^ I MOTT-LY MUSINGS | Tfiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiniiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii'?

J. Binley, Glens Falls, N. Y., is an inventive genius. Following his successful cut rose box holder, he has an arrangement by which his type- writer gives expression to his utter- ances in various colors. Business is good with him and has been right along. John L. Watkins & Son, of Hudson Falls, N, Y., consider Geranium Mar- quise de Castellane the best all-around variety. It is not new, but well worthy of special notice, its heavy foliage and flower spike of deep sal- mon making it a most desirable kind to grow. Myron J. Watkins, the junior member of the firm, is spending his vacation from Cornell University to good advantage with A. N. Pierson at Cromwell, Conn., getting practical ex- perience in landscaping. The shrubbery and hardy flowering plants in the suburban gardens of Phil- adelphia are perfectly gorgeous this season. Japanese maples and hardy Ghent azaleas are a brilliant sight. The golden laburnum, seldom seen in good specimens, was as heavily flowered as wistaria, which was never known to bloom so freely as now. The good peo- ple of the Quaker city seem to take this exhibition of Nature's spring adorn- ment as quite natural, while our Boston friends see that due recognition is given by the press. Fred A. Danker, of Albany, N. Y,, notes that while the call for elaborate designs for Memorial day was not so heavy as on some occasions, the house had a fine sale of general stock, prac- tically clearing all the best stock at the greenhouses. William C. Glocckner, of Albany, made a fine display and reaped his share of business for the dav. The Gloeckner greenhouses, at Menand, grow large quantities of stock for the Albany store. H. G. Eyres, of Albany, was crowded in his basement store, but made a good display nevertheless. He remarked that all hands had all they could do to handle the Memorial day business. A. D. Carpenter, of Cohoes. X. Y., did not notice any decline in purchases for Memorial day, the fine weather and the excellence of general business in this district doubtless proving big factors. A. J. Courcelle & Son, of Eutland, Vt., recently rebuilt their establish- ment, and wonder now how they did business so long in the old place. Bet- ter stock and bigger sales are tlio result. Three promising sons are ready to serve and are awaiting the call of their country. W. M. 20 The Florists^ Review June 21, 1917. Established, 1897, by G. L. GRANT.

The Eeview brings results. There still is a large unsatisfied de- mand for vegetable plants, particularly tomato and sweet potato. With the certainty that the supply of •outdoor flowers will be less than usual this summer, the next two or three months promise usually well for the cutflower business. Reports from transportation compa- nies and resort hotels indicate that there will be mucn less vacation traveling than -usual this summer, wuich should be a distinct gain to the retail trade of the home ilorist. Watch the Pacific Coast Department for offers of stock not obtainable else- where. Soon the western edge of America will be the trade 's principal source of supply for many items heretofore pro- cured from Europe. The spring bedding plant season has been two or three weeks late almost every- where, but as soon as weather conditions' became right the work assumed heavier volume than ever before. It is turning out to be an excellent season, but there was so large a quantity of stock grown this year that it has not nearly all been sold as yet. The Hollanders still on this side of the water liave become confident that the fall importations of bulbs and nursery stock will come. They base their belief on the official news from Washington that two steamers of the Holland-America line are on their way here with cargo, the first boats to bring cargo since the fa- mous recall of the Nieuw Amsterdam in the last davs of January. THIS IS THE KIND. The following paragraph, from the Kansas City news-letter, is the kind we like to read: E. G. Bunyar, of Independence, lias cleared Ills greenhouses of bedding plants, having sold more than 200,000 of all kinds. The sales net- ted him $2,000 more this year than last and he has invested the profits in Liberty bonds. He has his houses planted for fall trade and is now on A lishing trip. There are many florists who have bought Liberty bonds with the season's profits, in spite of increased expenses, and we hope they find the fishing good. PLEASE NOTE. Each week a number of letters con- taining advertising instructions reach The Eeview while the paper is on the press — just a few hours earlier and they would have had attention a week sooner than is possible. It is the aim to give prompt service, but to secure it advertisers should note: "It is impossible to guarantee the insertion, discontinuance or alteration of any advertisement unless instructions are received by 4 p. m. Tuesday." ' « BOOST BUSINESS ' '—WILSON. Every means of stimulating business should be used now, President Wilson said in a letter to E. P. V. Eitter, of the Merchants and Manufacturers Ex- change of New York City, made public June 17. Mr. Ritter wrote the President concerning the advisability of holding commercial conventions during the war. "I not only see no reason why com- mercial conventions should be omitted during the war," the President replied, "but should regret to see any instru- mentality neglected which has proved serviceable in stimulating business and facilitating its processes. This is not only not a time to allow any slowing up of business, but is a time when every sensible process of stimulation should be used." ANTICIPATING OUR WANTS. Constantly increasing costs of most of the materials used by the trade make it impossible for growers and those who deal indirectly or directly with the pub- lic to make a profit without raising prices. In consequence the prices asked for bedding stock have been raised with- out any noticeable decrease in demand. This is a sign that the business of pro- ducing and selling flowers is in a healthy state. But production costs have not stopped mounting. As the war progresses they are steadily advancing and it is predict- ed that they will continue to advance. There is a way, however, by which the trade can keep the costs down and every member of it who is in a position to do so should take advantage of it. That is by anticipating our wants so far as is possible and getting a stock of materials and supplies. Large growers have been doing this. Others would do so if their capital was sufficient. But there are many others who, believing that by the next time it is necessary to purchase prices will be lower, have been buying as need has de- manded and find that every purchase calls for a larger outlay. The raw material market of the United States is higher than for many years, and promises to continue upward. Manufacturers assert that there is everv reason to believe that before the war is over and the reconstruction necessary in Europe is finished, the prices of today will be considered low. There seems not much chance that greenhouse supplies will be cheaper. On the other hand, there is every evidence that they will cost more. Buying now will probably mean a saving. $2,000 FOR $3.75! DON'T CROWD! One of the most curious aspects of the many differing ideas regarding adver- tising is the queer conception that only the advertising which involves a large expenditure of money is greatly suc- cessful. Scores of advertisers with individual expenditures of only a few dollars are regularly gaining tremendously effec- tive results from the use of The Review. Such results are, indeed, so common that they secure only passing interest, except from those who are directly in- terested. For example, one advertiser in The Review sold $2,000 worth of stock through six insertions of a 5-line Classi- fied advertisement. The advertising cost was $3.75, or less than one per cent. Here is the letter, verbatim: Please discontinue our leaf-mold ad in the Classified Section. Six insertions sold four car- loads, or 1,600 barrels! — G. M. Reburn & Co., 160 North Wabash avenue, Chicago, 111., June 18, 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. GOVERNMENT ORDERS COAL. The government has ordered 1,750,000 tons of coal for the navy, principally from the West Virginia mines from which many florists have been obtaining smokeless coals. It is not new for the navy to use this fuel, but this year its needs are increased. Last year's con- tract price was $2.88 per ton delivered at Newport News, Va. The mines asked the government to pa,y $2.95 at the mine for the present purchase. Exercising its authority, the government ordered ship- ments to begin and agreed to pay $2.33 at the mine on account, the final price to be fixed in the course of time by the President or a duly appointed commis- sion. Florists who feel that they must have Pocahontas or New River smokeless coal are asked to pay $5 to $6 per ton, f. o. b. the mine, for mine-run. CHICAGO. The Market. A decided change for the better has come over the wholesale cut flower mar- ket. With stocks of all kinds plentiful and demand lethargic up to June 16, a marked shortening of stock took place and demand strengthened considerably, cleaning the market satisfactorily for the week. As most growers are going off crop and replanting, a large increase in the supply is not looked for in the near future. Shipping trade is moderately active, with local demand holding up its end well, so that, speaking by and large, no complaint as to the condition of the market is warranted. Usually the peony is the dominating flower at this date. It is not so this year. The arrivals, while large, have JUNB 21, 1917.

Only a few have been put in storage, although it has been possible to obtain only low prices. The local cut is just beginning. It does not promise to be large, and so far as can be learned only two or three growers and no commission dealers are planning to put away the flowers. Usually the fresh stock is all in by this date and the freezer holds large quan- tities. The peony has not been any- where near so important a flower as usual so far this season, and it looks as though it would be of still less impor- tance after another week. American Beauties remain in short supply and clear readily. All other varieties of roses are in greatly de- creased supply and sell better than they have been doing. Eussells still hold their place at the head of the list. It is true that the color has faded some- what, as a result of the warm, bright weather, but its keeping qualities at the season recommend it to buyers. Eed roses are in noxt active doinnnd, wjth Sunburst and Ophelia following. There is a superabundance of carna- tions on the market, but the quality is deteriorating rapidly as a result of the warm weather, and it is expected that a few hot days will finish them for the season. Carnations now are the most unsatisfactory item on the market, there being scarcely any demand for tliem. Easter lilies are ])loiitiful, but move slowly. Callas are at the end of their season. Orchids remain scarce. Good valley also is less plentiful than in other years, but the demand is not nearly so heavy as last year at this time. Stocks arc scarce, but in little demand. There were plenty of sweet peas, but the qual- ity is on the down grade except the spring bloomers. Good peas found a ready sale. Calendulas sold fairly well. There is not much good mignonette obtainable. Spanish iris is about fin- ished. Gladioli sell well, Pendleton, America, King\and Augusta jelling best and in the order named. Baisies find a fair market. Pansies are^t poor qual- it and sell slowly. Dotlble poeticus is out of the market. Candytuft arrives in fair supply and sells readily. Good snapdragons move well, poorer quality dragging, however. Notice to Review Readers F. T. D. Service in a Wholesale Way began with Kennicott Bros. Co, 163-165 and 174 N.

The supply of plumosus is sufii- cient to meet the demand. Various Notes. At the monthly dinner of the Whole- sale Cut Flower Association June 14 early closing was discussed. It appears all the wholesale houses will close at 5 p. m. during July, August and Septem- ber, but there is no chance that all will remain closed on Sundays. While sev- eral wholesalers who cater only to city trade are anxious to stay closed on the Sabbath and some may do so, the houses that enjoy large shipping business feel the need of being open seven days a week. Some of them ship more flowers on Sundays than on Saturdays. A tremendous quantity of bedding plants has been sold in the last three weeks. Evervone who deals in this class of stock has been on the jump, and tlie occasional cold, rainy days, when outside work could not be done, have only given a chance to catch up with necessary work inside. But there are large quantities of bedding plants still to sell, especially geraniums and cannas, and some of the smallei* growers have taken to peddling them at low prices. John Evert wants to sell out or lease his place on Devon avenue and go to farming. He benched carnations last summer, the range accommodating from 50,000 to 55,000 plants, but he received so little for the flowers that after the holidays he threw them out and planted lettuce and cucumbers. These have given a little better returns, but not enough to encourage Mr. Evert to wish to stay in the business. A. J. Zech, of Zech & Mann, and A. C. Kohlbrand, of the E. C.

Business last week was helped by a number of weddings, patriotic parties and (lances and by high school and col- lege graduations. Despite these outlets, the supply of stock, with the exception of roses and lilies, was not absorbed. Because of the graduations, roses were in big demand. The quality of all stock has been good. The weather has been cool, the temperature falling so low as 41 degrees, and has had an effect on the quality of the roses reaching the market. Carnations still are of good quality and supply. The best bring $2 per hundred. Peonies are clearing better than had been expected, the fancy va- rieties selling for $2 and $3 per hundred. Other grades were at low figures. The market has been flooded with out- door flowers. Delphinium, daisies, pyre- thrum, coreopsis, garden pinks, gypso- phila, snapdragons and irises are among those offered. Iris has had its day, but snapdragon still is in good demand. There were few sweet peas, the outdoor stock not having come in and the indoor stock being of poor quality. Feverfew is used for filling, but otherwise there is $12.00 PER DOZEN Walnut Hnish SEND FOR CATALOGUE $12,00 PER OOZEN Walnut Finish 19 inches long. B'a inches wide, 5^ inches high. Agents Wanted . .

The Market. The market is like a great ship on the ocean that has been pursued and over- taken by an immense wave, which com- pletely engulfed it. From this deluge it is now slowly recovering, righting itself, as it were, and resuming its nat- ural poise. The deluge of peonies is passing. Nothing like it has ever been seen in this market; not merely because there were so many of them, but be- cause they missed their natural outlet of Memorial day by fully a week and have poured down upon us for the last fortnight, carrying everything before them. Such conditions have never been seen here before. Peonies were so plen- tiful that they sold at ridiculously low prices, or they sold not at all. Every- thing else was so affected by them that values were reduced to a fraction. Today conditions are slowly improv- ing. The crest of the peony wave has BERGER BROS.

The i'p6iTrer flow- ers are steadily dropping out. The line between select stock of choice varieties and ordinary stock of ordinary varieties is more clearly marked. For instance, choice Beauties, Russell, Hadley, val- ley, white roses and other fine flowers are more eagerly sought, at better prices, while peonies, carnations, ordi- nary roses and other staple stock lack support. Snapdragon has been having a hard time, indeed. Good outdoor sweet peas are in demand. Easter lilies and a f.ew fine caJlas coming into the market are slowly coming to the front. These general notes will give a clear idea of the rather unhappy conditions that have prevailed during the last fortnight. Everybody is tired of handling the tre- mendous quantity of stock at such in- adequate prices. Plant Auctions. A. T. Freeman, of Samuel T.

It foil to my lot to arrange the details of these sales and to sell the plants. We never had any sales that aroused so much popular enthusiasm. I grew fond of the representatives of these Holland firms; they were line fellows, with whom it was a pleasure to do business. They sent us invoices containing an exact list of the number of cases of rose plants and just how many bushes there were in each case. The bushes were tied in bundles of ten, eacli bundle containing the cor- rect name of the variety, clearly la- beled. The packing and invoicing were so carefully done that we had no diffi- culty with the varieties. "The method of selling was to take each variety separately, and to offer to the highest bidder all of that variety, or as many as he or she desired. The excitement sometimes grew so great that choice varieties, such as the Lyon rose, of which there would be only five bundles, or fifty plants, were bid up on one occasion as high as $1 each. When the successful bidder took the whole lot at this price there was a THE HOUSE OF MERIT FLORISTS' SUPPLIES JOS. e. NEIDINGER CO. 1309-11 N. Second 8tr««t PHILADELPHIA, PA. Mention The Review when yon write. chorus of expostulations from the un- successful bidders. I told them that they must bid higher — then they would not be disappointed. ''Our most successful rose plant sale ran up to nearly $4,000. We abandoned these sales, however, after four or five years, because the commission — in this one case something over $300 — was not sufficient to cover the cost of the neces- sary work. While the handling of the plants themselves was not serious, we were obliged to move much expensive furniture and other bulky and easily injured material in order to make room for the plant cases. I have regretted that we could not find some way to con- tinue these sales profitably."

Established 21 Years 201 NoHh Seventh Avenue, SCRANTON, PA. Mention The Reylew when you write. ROCHESTER, N. Y. The Market. During the last week large quantities of flowers have flooded the wholesale houses, and prices on nearly all items have been low. There has been a de- cided lull in business, and consequently stock has remained on sale longer than usual. The peony season, two weeks later than usual, is now at its height. The earlier varieties drag somewhat, but the week-end trade cleared several large batches. An oversupply of carnations prevails, the demand at this time not being large enough to clear the blooms, which are in good condition. The sup- ply of roses is large, but the cuts fail to clear as quickly as they might. Fine Ophelia, Eussell, Ward and Maryland roses sell well. There are a number of weddings, but most of them are small. Funeral work, also, is somewhat slow, although the Saturday trade was large. Commence- ment and graduation exercises start next week, and the trade looks for bet- ter business. A large quantity of Easter lilies drags heavily. Indoor peas are becoming poor, only a few especially good ones reaching the market. They sell readily, as do pink snapdragons. Yellow and white daisies sell well. Orchids are scarce and stocks are in small supply. Gladioli sell well, a number of double poeticus narcissi are offered and bach- elor's buttons meet with favor. A good supply of irises continues to arrive. town' There are other wholesale houses at your service- but there is only one house in Chicago to give "Out-of- Buyers F. T. D.

Chairman John Dunbar, in the absence of President H. B. Stringer, informed the members that he had been in touch with several of the largest peony growers in the state, who had promised him liberal exhibits. The earliest varieties will be shipped to the George B, Hart wholesale house and there put in cold storage. The decorat- ing and staging of the show are in charge of E. P. Wilson, and the adver- tising is in the hands of Charles H. Vick. A tea room will be conducted under the auspices of the Lady Florists' Auxiliary. The chairman of the com- mittee covering the musical program is George Boucher. The net proceeds of the show will be donated to the Amer- ican Red Cross Society. Colin B. Ogston, the well known orchid expert, spoke of the damage done to the vegetable gardens by dogs and cats. Seeds that today are scarce and expen- sive are being ripped up by canines, the owners of which allow them to run wild at the expense of those who are trying to grow more foodstuffs. He proposed that the newspapers should do every- thing to get this important matter be- fore the public. Various Notes.

It also was decided that the presi- dent appoint a new publicity committee. Julius Koenig, city forester, was elected a member of the club. J. W. Ferris spoke in behalf of Lib- erty bonds.

Angermueller reports that his shipping business continues excel- lent. He expects to make a trip east in August and will attend the S. A. F. con- vention in New York city. Jabez Gadd, who formerly was in the florists' business, says he has bought a 10-acre farm at Bridgeton, St. Louis county, on which he will build a green- house range, starting with one large house this summer. At its monthly meeting, the Lady Florists' Home Circle was entertained by Mrs. Henry Berning at her home in Westminster place. Mrs. Otto G. Koe- nig will entertain the circle next month. The floral department of the Grand Leader Co. has installed a new refrigera- tor made by the Claes & Lehnbeuter Mfg. Co. David Banzhoff, an employee of George Waldbart, fell from a cherry tree on Mr. Waldbart 's farm at Clayton last week and sustained a badly sprained leg.

The Market. There is a somewhat bettor tone to the market, this condition being attrib- uted, in some degree, to weddings, gradu- ations and other school and college exercises. Demands from schools are below normal, as the authorities in quite a number of cases have forbidden the use of flowers on so-called economical grounds. The roses arriving are of grand quality for the latter half of June, due to the fact that we have had little warm weather as yet. Prices vary from 50 cents to $10 per hundred. A limited number only exceed these fig- ures and the demand is chiefly for the medium grades. White Killarney has been selling better, on account of wed- ding demands. Carnations have been' cleaning up more easily, but prices are low, few flowers selling above $1.50 per hundred. Lilies continue druggy and the large- flowered gladioli go slowly. Sweet peas ...

All are from under glass, but the damp and sunless weather has made them soft and they spot easily. There is a heavy supply of both white and yellow marguerites, with only a moder- ate demand. Local peonies, with the ex- ception of officinalis, are hardly in yet, are almost due. Sales of these will be slow on account of the lateness of the blooming period. Outdoor valley has passed, the flowers having been spoiled by the rain. There is only a moderate call for orchids, and few gardenias are coming in. No hardy roses will this year be available for the school and college graduations. The bedding plant trade promises to be prolonged this season; the demand for vegetable plants this year has never been equaled. Club Meeting. There was the usual large attendance but at the monthly meeting of the Gar- deners and Florists' Club June 19, more than 200 men and women being present. The action of the executive committee in ])urchasing $500 worth of Liberty bonds was endorsed. It was voted to give $50 to the American Eed Cross Society, which plans to raise $7,000,000 in New England this week. Announce- ment was made that plans for the annual club picnic at Cunningham park. East Milton, were well under way; also of the club's plans for lectures and exhibitions at the September, October and Novem- ber meetings. It was voted to carry all club members who have enlisted or who will be called to the colors on the books for the duration of the war. Following the regular business session a collation was served, after which danc- ing was enjoyed until midnight. There will be no club meetings during July and August. Various Notes. Unfavorable weather has been the lot of the open-air flower show at the Went- worth Institute, which will close on or about June 22, after a three weeks' run. New features have been added almost daily. These have included irises, peonies, lilacs, show pelargoniums, her- baceous perennials and other seasonable flowers. The standard wistarias have been fine and the large rhododendron displays are at their best as the closing time approaches.

The driver of the touring car was sentenced June 15 to three months in the house of correction. Mr. Borowski, I am glad to say, is con- valescing satisfactorily. The Eoper Estate, of Tewksbury, is sending in some grand blooms of the new rose-pink carnation, Albert Eoper, which realizes top-notch prices. This carnation seems to be a splendid summer as well as winter variety. S. J. Goddard and A. A. Pembroke left June 14 for a fishing trip in Maine with C. S. Strout, the vice-president of the American Carnation Society, and had good catches of the finny tribe. Robert Montgomery, of Natick, is cut- ting some splendid Eussell roses that have brought as high as $16 per hundred this week. All his roses still are in good crop and he continues to get a fine pick of carnations. We are having a decidedly humid June, not unlike that of 1916. Garden- ers and farmers are having a hard time keeping their crops clear of weeds and the army of amateur growers is be- coming somewhat discouraged. The rose and strawberry show of the Massachusetts Horticultural Society, scheduled for June 23 and 24, has been postponed one week, and unless really hot weather comes along further post- ponement may be found necessary. Only five of the first eighteen days in June have been clear. The Welch Bros. Co. is doing a splen- did shipping business. It is getting extra fine shipments of valley, lilies, peonies and roses.

Hardy azaleas are not yet at their best, while rhododendrons will not be in good bloom before June 25. Florists who planted carnations and asters on low ground are worried, on account of the frequency of soaking rains and the deficiency of sunshine. W. N. C. EALTIMOBE. John Cook, Veteran Bosarian.

There first is the blooming qualities; then the color, the shape of the flovper and its habit. It must be a sturdy grower, one with a stiff stem and good foliage. All of these qualities must be possessed by the parent. Sometimes all the study and labor result in failure. For instance, one of the finest looking roses Mr. Cook produced was never named, because, he said, it would not pay to grow it on account of its being a shy bloomer. But he is obliged to grow some of it, for several of his best cus- tomers demand it and one cannot blame them. It is hard to think of this one as a black sheep, as it has a long stem, fine foliage and a well shaped flower, about the color of old Malmaison. And yet it will not do. I asked Mr. Cook if he had many fail- ures. He replied: "Thousands." Is a Patient Man.

Take Mr. Cook's first hybrid tea, and do not let us forget that this was the first one ever grown in this country. It was a cross between that good old deep pink, Bon Silene, and Louis Van Houtte. Everyone knows what these two varie- ties are, so it is little wonder that Souvenir of Wootton has stood the test of fi^e. Asjwe were talking about this old one, Mr. Cook told me an interesting bit of history, whicli some of the older readers of The Review will recall, as to how it came to get its name. It was during an S. A. F. convention at Phila- delphia that J. U. Childs, the great lover and patron of flowers, invited the visi- tors out to his country place, wh'ere they were entertained royally. Someone made the suggestion that the first new thing produced should be named either for the host of the occasion, or for his fine estate. John Cook had this hybrid tea, not yet named. So he christened it Souvenir of Wootton, after the name of Mr. Child's place, in honor of a pleas- ant occasion. Won Many Prizes. There is nothing that gives this old veteran keener pleasure than to sit down with someone he likes and show him the medals he has won, and, if you would listen to him, it was always by some mere chance that his exhibit was judged better than the other fellow's. One medal that he prizes highly is of silver and was given him by the old Maryland Horticultural Society for the best collection of cut roses.

Keynolds, Crawfords- ville, Ind.; vice-president, C. C. Massie, Minneapolis; secretary and treasurer, John A. Smith, Toledo. Directors and standing committee chairmen also were continued, the latter to select their own colleagues. An invitation to Louis- ville for 1918 was received. The Caughey-Jossman Co. entertained the members at dinner at Lakeside Inn 0 the evening of June 18. PRESIDENT WHITE'S ADDRESS. [The full text of the address of Kirby B. White, president of the American Seed Trade Association, delivered at the convention at De- troit, Mich., June 19, 1917.] The thirty-fifth annual convention of the American Seed Trade Association comes at the close of one of the most eventful years in the history of the seed business. It comes also at the be- ginning of a year that may be even more fateful for us as seedsmen and citizens. It is therefore with a feel- ing of solemnity and unusual respon- sibility that I address you. It is natural as we reconvene that ouy thoughts should first turn to the vacant places in our ranks. W. C. Langbridge, Walter P. Stokes, John A. Salzer and H. K. White are missed by their many friends. The proper I June 21, 1917.

New Early-flowering, or Winter Blooming An entirely new and distinct strain of Pansies The main advantage of these new Pansies over all hitherto existing Pansies is the extreme earliness of flowering. Sown at the same time as other Pansies, they begin flowering the early part of March or as soon as the snow is off the ground, many times having four or flve large flowers to a plant, when all other Pansies are only showing buds.

Tlie material affairs of the associa- tion have, on the whole, prospered. We have suffered comparatively little from the operations of legislators. An un- usually large crop of unusually stupid bills — the exact number is 118 — has re- ceived the attention of our state cor- respondents, and under the able direc- tion of our attorney and the legisla- tive committee the bills as a rule have been satisfactorily met with. If any laxness has appeared, it has not been at headquarters. The Defense Against Unfair Laws. The trend of the year has been toward centralizing more than ever be- fore tlie responsibility for directing the association's legislative defense. The task has grown to such proportions that it takes up too much time for any seedsnlan to administer its details. The association ought never again to im- pose upon anyone the volume of work it gave to Messrs. Scarlett and Boyles. Upon our attorney and liis assistants should be placed eacli year this in- creasing burden. In tills connection I desire to say that I have had an opportunity as an official to observe the work of the at- torney's office, and I have been im- pressed by the enlargement of the du- ties of the attorney. From a small be- ginning our needs have grown to re- quire not merely the occasional atten- tion of a lawyer in general practice, but also tlie direction of a specialist and trained assistants, all of whom give their time to the needs of seedsmen and nurserymen. The Ruction performed by our attorney is most important and should continue to expand. Every year's experience adds to his value and to the volume of the work it is found desirable to give him. I recommend that Curtis Xye Smith be retained in this position. . The Business of Tagging Seeds. As time has developed the complex- ities of seed control, it is gratifying to see how nearly those who administer and those who work under seed laws [Continued on page 69.] PLANT A. B. C.

Pacific Coast Department i t ^^^'n.'^^^^'^^p^'^^^f^'^^^^^^^'^^.^^^.^^^^^^^^k^^^^^^s^ LOS ANGELES, CAL. The Market. Much the same conditions prevail with regard to stock as reported last week, except that cheap and medium- grade flowers are more plentiful, while for really first-class stock both whole- salers and retailers have to hunt the corners. .The one bright spot is that filled with gladioli, these useful flowers having never been so plentiful and good as during the present season. America still holds its own for funeral work, but for big decorations some of the hybrids are fine. More valley than usual is on the market now — not by any means enough to meet the demand, but enough to remind people what valley looks like. Weddings and funerals are now the outlet for the larger portion of the stock, the passing trade being small. While some elaborate decorations have been carried out, the trend seems to be toward lower-priced work. Economy is in the air. Cut Easter lilies are plenti- ful and of good quality, and the re- frigerator car service makes it possible to ship them longer distances than gen- erally. In plants there are excellent samples of French hydrangeas, especially of the larger sizes, but the demand is not heavy. Ferns of all kinds are scarce, but greens are plentiful. An unusually high temperature, hot sun and desert winds played havoc with the outdoor flowers June 14. Sweet peas, carnations and other flowers were shriveled up, and for a couple of days the cut will be short. Hydrangeas in full bloom wilted down to the ground. Gladioli, being cut tight, did not suffer, and the native matilija poppy seemed to revel in the heat. The temperature at Los Angeles was 95 degrees, at Pasadena 104 degrees, and even at the beach towns there were no cool spots. Various Notes. Arthur Falkenhayn, proprietor of the Marine Florist, of Long Beach, is a frequent visitor to this market. He re- ports business good in wedding work, and he has practically all of the work for the mayor and city officials. Sev- eral hundred corsage bouquets for grad- uation exercises were among recent or- ders. Mr. Falkenhayn is progressive, a hustler and has worked up a nice busi- ness in a short time. The H. N. Gage Co. has purchased the entire stock of maidenhair ferns from Mrs. Alfred Roedder, of Shorb, consist- ing of Adiautum Roedderii, A. cuneatum and other popular varieties, aggregating about 20,000 plants. These will be re- moved to the Montebello nursery. H. N. Gage is enthusiastic about the new growing grounds at El Monte and says that certain types of bulbous stock do better there than at any other of the firm's holdings. Both brothers are busy men these days, H. N. with the sales end and L. L, with the growing. Vacations are already in order at the establishment of W. Armacost & Co. J. Williamson, bookkeeper, has left for Lexington, Ky., for his recreation and it is reported that he is not coming back alone from the state that is renowned for fine scenery, fine horses and beauti- ful women. W. Lockhard, of the sales force, is also talking vacation. The California Cut Flower Co. is handling a fine line of valley and roses, both from northern growers. Business is firm at the Seventh street store. E. W. Saake has an attractive window at his store on Broadway. A miniature lake, made with a virgin cork border, and with small ducks floating around, does not sound particularly original, but in this case it is so pretty and so wejl carried out that it deserves men- tion. The stock shown is good. May proved a record-breaker for the Redondo Floral Co., and June so far looks good, both for present and pros- pective work. Fine gladioli and the first of the season's Golden West dah- lias are making a splendid showing in the window. One day this week A. F. Borden also made a fine showing in his "ice cream" suit and Parama hat. A. Knopf says we can surely look for warm weather now. Eldred's Flower Shop reports busi- ness excellent and Mr. Eldred has so far recovered his health as to be able to visit the stores in the city. During the week just passed large or- ders for tomato plants for canners have been filled at the S. Murata & Co. store; also orders for clover and blue grass seeds. In the windows at Wright's Flower Shop the orchids are always a big at- traction, and there is usually something a little different. Flowers of the old, fringed Brassavola Digbyana, the par- ent of many fine bra^so-cattleyas aid brasso-laelias, were the attraction, ;,s well as some splendid flowers of Car- tleya gigas. Darling's Flower Shop reports big business in wedding decorations. H. R. Richards. SAN FRANCISCO. The Market. Stock of all descriptions is plentiful, except orchids and valley, which con tinue on the short side. Some retailers said they had been able to get enougl- orchids to fill the demand, but in such cases it developed that the demand was light rather than the supply large. No one seems to have enough valley. It is generally conceded that business is holding up exceedingly well, consider- ing the season, and this condition is at- tributed largely to the fact that the exodus of city families to the country for the summer vacation is not so pro- nounced this year as usual. At several establishments house orders, which are usually a minor consideration at this time, are reported to be quite an item. A number of large decorations and many less pretentious affairs continue to fur- nish an outlet for quantities of flowers which might otherwise find their way to the dump. The condition of the rose market is decidedly in favor of the buyer, it being more a question of how much one will pay for the flowers than how much is asked for them. Hadley shows excellent quality, and the cut of Ulrich Brunner leaves nothing to be desired.

The large-flowering gladioli, such as Francis King, Panama and America, are welcome arrivals. They were about a month late, but will soon be at their height.

Decorations for weddings and dinner jiarties are helping to keep the Francis Floral Co. staff busy, according to Francis Schlotzhauer, the proprietor. The first half of June, he says, has shown an increase over the correspond- ing period of last year. A flower booth was one of the features at an allied bazaar held in Union square Saturday, June 9, the proceeds of which will go to war sufferers. Mes- dames Victor Podesta, A. J. Eossi and John Carbone presided. Flowers were donated by various growers. V. Lusciani, of Pelicano, Rossi & Co., is hailed as an orator by his fellow em- ployees since he took a leading part in a recent school entertainment. Robert Newcomb, traveler for the American Bulb Co., of Chicago, says local growers have shown much interest in a red sport of Gorgeous carnation which he brought down from the Martin & Forbes Co., of Portland, Ore. W. F. Pitts, of the W. F. Pitts Seed & Nursery Co., expects to leave early in July on an extended trip visiting nurseries. S. H. G. TACOMA, WASH. "Business is good," is the average report of tradesmen. Now, some thought that the war would put us out of business, as people would not buy luxuries when necessities were so ab- normally high. Others thought that the increase in salaries and the fact that money is changing hands would benefit the business. Far be it from the writer to express an opinion, but the fact remains, "business is good." The great army post at American Lake bids fair to become a big busi- ness asset. This proposition will bring the brains and the brawn of the nation almost to our doors, as it is only a few minutes' auto ride from Tacoma to tlie post. As almost all other lines of business are looking forward to finan- cial benefit from this big undertaking of Uncle Sam, it is only reasonable that the flower business sliould also receive a sliglit boost. There has been a decided improve- ment in the weather. The last few days have been hot enough for any Avestorner, and tlie effect is soon notice- able in the gardens and parks. Pota- toes are in bloom in some gardens; also in many front parkings. Roses have not been entirely eliminated, liowevcr, in favor of the spud', and are coming into bloom nicely outdoors. They are usually in full flower at this season. There was considerable speculation as to just how the Portland rose car- nival would show up this year. The regular Tacoma rose show was post- ])onod until June 30 on account of the backward condition of the roses. The present offerings include sweet ))eas, snapdragons, carnations, baby gladioli and roses. Peas are quite plentiful and are much appreciated in funeral work, baskets and corsages. They meet with a splendid demand at 2i) to .'{") cents per bunch. Baby gla- dioli are still rather scarce and of inferior quality, but are not missed seriously on account of a sufficient supply of carnations and snapdragons. The graduation work was divided up nicely among tlie local retailers. There has been a splendid run of wed- dings and funeral work has held up well. Growers report a shortage of help for greenhouse work. B. G.

The streets in the business center were decorated with flags and bunting, and on Broadway flowers were used, planted in urns with pedestals resembling marble. Good weather brought out large crowds and standing room was hard to find along the streets over which the parades passed. The features of the opening day of the festival center were the children's parade, the crowning of the fairy king and queen and the unveiling of the rep- lica of the Bartholdi statue of liberty, the President at Washington pressing a key for the last event. On the second day the patriotic pageant was held, and on the third day the grand floral parade took place.

The result was that little speci- men stock was grown for exhibit, and the beds were filled with whatever stock the growers happened to have on hand. Hydrangeas, snapdragons, petunias, geraniums, iniscellaneous perennials, lilies, cak-folarias, heliotropes, cupheas, roses, border plants, hanging baskets, porch tubs, and displays of cut flowers in the booths were the prominent fea- tures.

A most creditable display was pro- duced, though as a flower feature it fell below last year's standard. The area covered by the beds was about 20,000 square feet and a uniform price of 10 cents per square foot was paid for filling with plants. The same blocks were used for the center as in the previous two years and the central feature, where last year stood the floral fountain, was a replica of the Bartholdi statue of liberty. It stood over fifty feet in height, with the base decorated with l^otted roses. One booth was occupied by the American Red Cross Society and the others were filled with flowers by vari- ous retailers and growers. The Exhibitors. G. Indermuhle, the Scott-Wood Co., Max M. Smith, the Rahn & Herbert Co., Niklas & Son, the Russellville Nursery, Zimmerman Bros., O. E. Panzer, the Weed Landscape Nursery, the Holden Floral Co., George Goos, G. Teufel and A. Zitzewitz, each filled one bed. The Martin «fe Forbes Co. and the Tonseth Floral Co., each had two beds; Clarke Bros., tlie Mountain View Floral Co. and the Wilson, Crout & Gehr Co., each three beds, and the Swiss Floral Co. four beds. Park Superintendent James Convill had charge of the floral center for the board of governors. Julius Dossche acted as superintendent and F. A. Van " Kirk was clerk. A hot wind on the first day caused some wilting and a few plants had to be replaced. Frank J. Bell, Ernest Mayer and John Z. Holze, all from Seattle, were among till' visitors to the floral center. The Weed Landscape Nursery had an attractive exhibit of peonies at one of the booths.

Stock of all kinds is plen- tiful and good. Business is keeping up well, with a continued call for bedding stock. The demand for vegetable plants and seeds has been greatly in excess of anything ever experienced, the reason, of course, being the national gardening movement. Flower seed sales, however, fell off to almost noth- ing, except in sweet peas, which will always be the favorite flower in Spo- kane. While some of the graduating classes at the high schools voted against the use of flowers at their commencement exercises, contributing the savings to the Red Cross, the demand for flowers for the graduates at the grade and coun- try schools showed a decided increase. Various Notes. Frank Nawrocki, for several years with the Wittbold and Oechslin estab- lishments at Chicago, and during the last two years with H. L. Olsson, has re- signed his position with Mr, Olsson. He contemplates locating in Seattle and has left for that place to look over sev- eral propositions. L. B. H.

Forty-second anneal convention, Philadelphia, Pa., June 27 to 2«, 1917. Next vvoi'k's conventioii of the Ameri- can Association of Nurserymen, at Phila- (lel]»hia, probably will bring out the larg- est attendance of eastern nurserymen in the history of the trade, but it appears that the western representation will be composed principally of wholesalers. Travelers for Holland nursery houses have not been so numerous as usual this spring; they do not leave home until after the spring shipments have gone and this season the spring stock got no farther than Kotterdam. The exporters want to see a fair prospect of making shipments lief ore they spend money canvassing for orders. The annual convention of the Pacific Coast Association of Nurserymen will be held at Tacoma, Wash., about the middle of July. The meeting will be attended by many of the leading nurserymen of California, Oregon, British Columbia, Idaho, Montana, the Dakotas and Wash- ington. The Mitchell Nursery Co., of Ta- coma, is in charge of the arrangements for the meeting. The Texas State Nurserymen's Asso- ciation will hold its annual meeting at Denton, August 2. Among those on the program are William B. Munson, presi- tlent; Prof. H. Ness, of College Station; J. M. Kamsey, of Austin; Samuel L. Dale, of Daingerfield; George J. Bayer, of San Benito; J. K. Mayhew, of Waxa- hachie; F. T. Ramsey, of Austin; J. S. I\err, of Sherman; J. B, Baker, of Fort Wortli; J. B. Strayhorn, of Tvler. IT IS KALMIA LATIFOLIA.

Kalniia latifolia, or mountain laurel, the finest broad-leaved flowering ever- green native to America. It attains a height in its native haunts of as much as twelve feet, but is more often seen half that height. It prefers a light soil; one with peat is specially good. It dislikes lime in the soil, grows well in woodland shade, but flowers best when grown in full sun. This is of- fered in nursery or collected stock by many nurserymen who advertise in The lieview and is not at all an expensive plant. C. W. CATALOaUES RECEIVED. Carmichael Orchards, .Sliannook, R.

[Oontinued from page 58.] ave approached common ideals and , ommon opinions as to what consti- ; iites legitimate seed legislation. I hope I lid believe that before this conven- iou ends the convention of the seed malysts, sitting in Detroit this week, will have aligned their association with ,18 in vigorous support of the uniform -tate bill. The action of the Secretary of Agri- lulture in requesting seedsmen to mark seeds of field and forage crops as to purity and viability has met with almost universal compliance. It will be ob- served that this practice of voluntary marking is, in effect, the same as the European system of voluntary control. There is no criminal liability, but there is every incentive for the vender to have the label represent both accuracy of analysis and a high grade of seeds. It is possible that the voluntary con- trol which has been the sole system in Kurope will prove equally satisfactory Jiere. Investigation of Oovemment Charges. I desire especially to commend the work of the committee on government charges. It is ably discharging the duty you imposed upon it. Our asso- ciation is pledged both to approval of the publicity of the Department of Agriculture's findings and to vigilance in the defense of association members, whether it be against unfairness from without or treachery from within. If the name of a member appears in a government report as adulterating or misbranding seeds, it is obvious that action must result. If the government report is unfair, as such reports have sometimes been thought to be, the ac- cused member is entitled to the united support of the trade in remedying the wrong. If, on the other hand, the report is true, this association demands that the facts be presented to it, through its committee, for such discipline as may be just and necessary. This association and each of its members cannot escape sharing in the disgrace any member may bring upon himself. I recommend that the committee on government charges continue to receive your cor- dial support and cooperation. Bulletin as Means of Cooperation. This interdependence of the entire trade is more and more being recog- nized, not merely as a liability, but, in even greater degree, as an asset. It is only necessary that we become con- scious of our solidarity to make it prof- itable. The truth that the highest common good is also the individual's highest good, once grasped, is a mighty factor in individual success. Every aid to solidarity is therefore to be wel- comed. I commend to the association as one of the best means of fostering solidarity the confidential Seedsmen's Bulletin. I recommend further that a committee be appointed to report on extending the field of the bulletin to cover garden seed crop reports and an- nouncements of the ruling wholesale prices of garden seeds. This course is not as revolutionary as it may sound. 1 submit that every seedsman would find it easier to get a fair price for his goods if all seedsmen knew more about fundamental conditions of sup- ply, In the face of a great shortage, seeds are often sold at loss than re- SPECIAL OFFER LILY BULBS We have a few thousand each of the foUowing COLD STORAGE LILIUMS which we offer for prompt acceptance and subject to prior sale: Ofli^f* *!

FREY, Florist LINCOLN, - - A - - - NEBRASKA ciation members would carry greater weight than information received else- where, because the reporting agency would be quite disinterested. More- over, the association would have access to all sources of knowledge. Each mem- ber might, then, if he chose, make his vision of the general supply world-wide. In recommending that the bulletin carry in its columns the range of rul- ing wholesale prices, I advise that names be omitted. High, low and aver- age prices could be given for leading articles. For example, Early Jersey Wakefield cabbage might be quoted as low as $1 per pound and as high as $4, with an average of $2.50 per pound. The range of prices, particularly when the service had been in existence long enough to afford comparisons of one year with another, would be a valuable guide and enable individuals to get their prices into line with those of the trade as a whole. I believe the report- ing of crop and market conditions, if jiroperly conducted, would be worth much more than it would cost. I recommend that a committee be ap- pointed or selected to advise the asso- ciation with regard to the compensa- tion of each of its employees. Many factors should be taken into account in this connection. If the present ra- tio between service and pay is not right, tliere sliould be a proper readjustment. If readjustment entails increasing the dues, let us remember that the power of the association does not lie in its being cheap. The power of the association, it per- liaps would be "trite to say, lies in its exemplification of the principles of jus- tice, wisdom and even taste.

We count ourselves fortunate to be able to do our full share In sup- plying men and money, but our greatest service may well be in maintaining under extraordinary stnaln the machinery of producing and distribut- ing seeds, without which agriculture must fail. 300,000 Chrysanthemums, from 2^4- In. pots, 20 varieties, $2.50 per 100, $22.50 per 1000.

Koses, with the exception of White Killarney and Beauty, are in good supply and the quality is all that could be expected at this time of the year. Carnations are in large supply and selling well, although the quality is on the decline on account of the hot weather. Lilies are plentiful, but gladioli are about over with. Sweet peas are none too plentiful, and the prices are high. Peonies are in heavy supply, but other outdoor flowers are rather scarce as yet. Bedding plants have sold well with most of the dealers. Better prices were obtained, as a general rule. Club Meeting. The regular meeting of the Tri-City Florists' Club was held at the residence of Harry Bills, with President Ander- son in the chair. J. Bloom, of Betten- dorf, was elected to membership. It was decided to hold the annual picnic at the Knees summer cottage on Kock river and the following committee was appointed to make the necessary ar- rangements: P. J. Pearson, C. J. Rear- don, H. Pould, H. Gaethje, L. Stapp, A. Anderson, C. iSorensen, ,1. Hanssen. The secretary was instructed to send R. McNutt, mayor of Muscatine, a spe- cial invitation to attend the picnic, in appreciation of the royal way in which the club was entertained in that city when the August meeting was held there last year. Emil Kranz again invited the club to hold its August meeting in Muscatine, and the invitation was ac- cepted. A vote of thanks was extended to Mr. and Mrs. Bills for their hospi- tality. Various Notes. Ada Danacher, eldest daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Charles Danacher, died June 12 at the family home at Bettendorf. Mr. and Mrs. Arvid Anderson wel- comed a baby daughter to their home June 8. ]\rother and daughter are doing well. W. G. WOONSOCKET, R. I. Howard Vose, of Cumberland Hill, was in Washington, D.

The outdoor flowers are piling into the market, although the continued in- clement weather has served as an effec- tive check on an excessive production. Gladioli and peonies have become more prominent and bedding plants are at the close of their inning. Hydrangeas of special merit receive their share of at- tention. Graduations are here, but, alas, they do not mean so much as in previous years, the presentation of flowers to graduates having been pro- hibited by the powers that be. Various Notes. At the June meeting of the Essex County Florists' Club the annual outing of the members came up for lengthy dis- cussion. The matter of holding a fall show also received some attention. Com- mittees will report on both propositions at the July meeting. Charles Lutliy says that business at his branch store at 459 Elizabeth ave- nue has been so good that he intends to continue it indefinitely. Business lias quieted down for a spell, say McLaughlin & Murphy. E. B. M. NEWPORT, R. I. The Newport Horticultural Society, at a meeting last week, voted to sub- scribe to the Liberty Loan bonds to the extent of $1,000, Another patriotic step was taken when it was voted to request all the prize-winners at the annual flower show to turn their awards over to the Ked Cross. A request from the Newport Garden Association to donate the admission fees received on the first day of the show to" the Eed Cross was also agreed to. Guy C. Caldwell, who gave an address on "Tree Surgery and Native Bird Conservation" at the recent open meeting of the society, was pre- sented by President John B. Urquhart, on behalf of the society, with a set of studs and cuff links, in recognition and appreciation of his work. Mr. and Mrs. A. Bunyard, of New York, with their children, arrived last week for the summer season. Wadley & Sniythe had a large number of orders on special pieces for the recent funeral of Elisha Dyer. They are un- usually busy on outdoor work. Ralph Armstrong has taken a part of the Gibson Bros, store, at 138 Bellevue avenue, having. subrented his store on the avenue.

Much of the supply was of inferior qual- ity. American Beauty roses are in short supply and the quality is not of the best. Other roses are plentiful and those of good quality clear easily. Russells are beginning to be in short supply. There is an abundance of carnations, many of which are small and weak- stemmed. Outdoor valley is done, the season's cut being small, due to exces- sive rains. Local cut peonies are arriv- ing, with white predominating. Snap- dragons, calendulas and mignonette are selling slowly. Lilacs are gone. Sweet peas are of poor quality. Ferns again are scarce. Various Notes. June weddings still are the center of activity. W. J. Palmer & Son had four large wedding decorations in one day last week. Miss Mildred Lucile Palmer and Raymond Percival Fowler were married June 16 at the bride's home on North Lincoln boulevard. The bride carried a bouquet of lily of the valley and Sweetheart roses showered with valley. Mr. and Mrs. Fowler have left for an automobile trip to the Berkshire moun- tains. Mr. Fowler is a member of the American Ambulance corps and will soon depart for the front in France. Although it was rumored in florists' circles some time ago that Miss Helen Cassidy, of the William F. Kasting Co., and Emil Iloflfman had been quietly married, the wedding was not announced until recently, when Miss Cassidy or Mrs. Hoffman resigned her position. The trade extends congratulations. Window and porch boxes are more popular this year than ever before. Graduations fipm the high schools, seminaries and colleges have been keep- ing the local florists busy during the last week. A. E. Sedalia, Mo. — The Archias Floral Co. recently came upon an unusual double- spathed calla. While double callas are not uncommon, they all are freaks and no two are exactly alike. The one found in the Archias greenhouse had completely separated stems and the ex- tra part resembled a calla leaf more than it did another spathe.

Greenhouse Heating, Subscribers are invited to write the Editor of this Department with regard to any details of greenhouse heating that are not understood. But please do not ask The Review to make a choice of ap- paratus for you. The greenhouse heating equipment advertised in this paper is, we believe, the best for the trade to buy, and each article the best in the special field of its adaptation. TWO BOILERS INSTEAD OF ONE. Will you please tell me what boiler capacity is needed for my greenhouses, which contain about 20,000 square feet of glass? I have been heating them with a 100-horsepower boiler, but I am taking it out and wish to install two boilers in its place. We seldom have outside temperatures lower than zero. A. L.— Mo. Notliing is said regarding the tem- perature desired in the houses, but for an average of 60 degrees we would not consider it necessary to have more boiler capacity than fifty horsepower. How- ever, we would not advise putting in two boilers of twenty-five horsepower each, since one of the boilers would hardly be able to handle the radiation except in comparatively mild weather. With two boilers of thirty to thirty-five horsepower each, it will be possible to hold one of tliem in reserve, and with the otlicr licat the houses to 60 degrees except in the coldest weatlier. In fact, if one boiler gets out of commission a satisfactory temperature can be main- tained witli tlie otlier, by a little extra attention to firing. SIZE OF SMOKESTACK. I ;uii l)uil(liiig two greenliouscs, each 21^^x108, witli eaves seven feet high, and 1 am installing a No. 2 Kroescliell hot water boiler, set in a pit four feet deep. Will you kindly tell me what size of chin;noy I ought to erect? Please state the lieight and width, giv- ing both inside and outside diameter. Would a chiiniiey of concrete blocks be as satisfactory as a brick one? There are no high buildings in the immeiliate \icinity. W. B. l3. — Wis.

An unusually large number of wed- dings calling for bouquets and decora- tions were the feature of local condi- tions last week, although funeral work was also a big item. Eoses and carna- tions are plentiful, especially of the short and inferior grades, one downtown department store offering carnations at eleven for 10 cents, while fakers on the streets were hawking roses at 10 cents for half a dozen June 16. There is a heavy cut of stocks and snapdragons, much of the former coming on about two weeks late and thereby causing a glut. Gladioli are arriving in larger quantities, while sweet peas, irises and lilies are also abundant. Various Notes. Bichard Higgins, of Academy avenue, is having a new office building erected. Walter Lowe is removing from 2177 to 2202 Broad street, Pawtucket. Timothy O'Connor was a business visitor to New York last week. Mr. and Mrs. W. P. Carpenter, the Union station florists, are preparing to make a vacation trip to Winnipeg, Can., early in July. W. Taylor, for twelve years with Macnair, has resigned to take up other business. Smith, the Florist, had thirty pieces for a funeral last week. William Crompton, of East Greenwich, was in town last week buying flowers for a large wedding. Notwithstanding his fourscore years or so, he is still hale and active. George P. Briody, with S. J. Renter & Son, Inc., of Westerly, has been on a vacation trip to Boston and vicinity. Growers report that they have sold more vegetable plants this season than ever before in their experience. Harry Wood, formerly manager for Thomas Curley, has returned after sev- eral months' absence in California. Max Viller, with Smith, the Florist, has enlisted in the United States quar- termaster department reserves. Fred Dietz was in New York last week on business, having had the decorations for a large wedding at Newark, N. J. The alterations at the Kresge 5 and 10-cent store on Westminster street have given Joseph Solomon a larger flower space, and good business has resulted. Thomas Curley has been busy in out- door work.

PUSHING or crowding your boiler to push your heat fast enough into the coils, pushes more heat out of the chimney than it does into the coils. It also pushes the life out of your boiler. Any^way you figure it, it is bad figuring for your bark balance. If the boiler is[too small, that's most likely your fault in trying to save a little when you bought it. At present price of coal, it's going to cost twice as much as ever to push your boiler. It may pay you to buy a new boiler. Let us figure it out with you. You know we go anywhere for business.

KANSAS CITY, MO. The Market. There was a superabundance of stock in the market last week. Roses and carnations were extremely plentiful and sold at the lowest prices of the year. Easter lilies were numerous and cheap. Peonies still are in the market in large quantities. Only the best are sent to the wholesalers, as tliey cannot get the express charges out of the inferior qual- ities. Taney gladioli were in the mar- ket and sold at good prices. Sweet peas still are of fair quality, but the demand has been rather light. Gypsophila, daisies and other outdoor flowers are coming in good shape and sell well. Greens of all kinds still are scarce. Various Notes. The greenhouse range at the Phil P. Toll farm has been increased consider- ably under the management of John Klauss. The houses all were built by Lord & Burnham Co. There are two old houses, 25x150, filled with carnations and chrysanthemums and two new houses, 35x201, with Ophelia, White Kil- larney and Russell roses. Another, 10 1/4 x201, houses chrysanthemums. The houses are of the latest type, with ce- ment walks. There are two reservoirs, one holding 37,000 gallons for water and the other 7,000 gallons for liquid ferti- lizer. It is the intention of the owner to further increase this establishment. E. G. Bunyar, of Independence, has cleared liis greenhouses of bedding plants, having sold more than 200,000 of all kinds. The sales netted him $2,- 000 more this year than last and he has invested the profits in Liberty bonds. He has liis houses planted for fall trade and is now on a fishing trip. Tom Kane has returned from Ver- mont, where he spent three weeks plant- ing evergreens and pines on a large pri- vate estate. He and Mrs. Kane left June'17 to spend several days on a farm near Pleasant Hill. John Stevens has been sending in gladioli of extra fine quality, the stems of some l)eing four and five feet long. T. J. Xoll & Co. have been clean- ing liouse at their store and taking an inventory at the same time. Henry Kusik & Co. have received a carload of moss. Mr. Kusik reports that business in this line has doubled this year. The George 'SI. Kellogg Flower & Plant Co. has been busy with funeral work both in and out of town. Mr. Kidd is now on liis vacation. He will return June 25. Arthur Xowell turned out a large de- sign for the Bernhoimer funeral last week. It was a wreath forty inches in diameter, cascade style, on a tall stand. He is now making a window display of baskets filled with summer flowers. Samuel ^^lurray has returned from an eastern trip. He found liis store excep- tionally busv for this time of the year. W. J. B. The best Paper Pot for shipping and grow- ing purposes. Sizes from 2 to 6 in. Ask your dealer for them. Samples free. E.

AN UP-TO-DATE GREENHOUSE must be lasting, secure, efficient, properly ventilated It must be constructed in accordance with the rules which have been approved by knowledge and experience. We have been in the greenhouse manufacturing business for a good many years and our ex- perience is at your disposal. Whether you intend to build your first house or plan an addition, we believe that our suggestions will be of interest to you. Our material is strictly first-class both in grade and workmanship. Our new "Leak-Proof" Gutter is bound to give you satisfaction. Our prices are reasonable. We use only the best grade of Louisiana Red Cypress. ICKES-BRAUN MILL CO., 2330 WABANSIA avenue, CHICAGO GREENHOUSE MATERIAL GREENHOUSE HARDWARE UTICA, N. Y. W. A. Eowlands says the greenhouse end of his dual interests has been most satisfactory. While foreign to the legit- imate, the doctor thinks this an item of interest, showing the upward trend of taste: He has opened an Italian dental parlor and notes that his patients demand solid gold. He coincides this with his high-grade carnations, which always bring top prices. C. F. Baker received a telegraphic order for a floral piece to be placed on the casket of the victim of the recent disastrous flood in Oriskany Falls. Situ- ated twelve miles distant, with no other means of delivery, the risky trip was made with his private car, to insure carrying out the principles of the F. T. D. William Matthews was reminiscent, and recalled the incident when Self- ridge, the great Chicago department store merchant, now located in old Lon- don, paid him a visit and purchased an orchid of large value. "Times have changed, and we have changed with them," said our old friend, "but I really think we live in an age of more general sentiment, even if it is so thor- oughly practical. I expect to see a return to what is termed sensible condi- tions soon; in fact, it's up to us to bring it about," concluded our octogenarian and successful confrere. J. J. Williams' place seems doomed, or, shall one say, the opposite— three times and out for a new start? Twice it has been visited by fire and now by a flood, which, by the way, has caused much damage to the truck gardens in the valley nearby. The sympathy of the craft and the best wishes for a new start go to our confrere. W. M. Wichita FaUs, Tex.— C. H. Witten- bach has added flowers to his "general merchandise," and has completed the erection of a small house. Rocliester, Minn. — The Queen City Greenhouse Co. has opened a handsome store in an admirable location, on the lower floor of the Masonic Temple. G. D.

All the retailers express themselves as being well pleased with the season's business. Our old friend E. J. Mep- sted is busy planting flower boxes. He has pleasant memories of the Scott place at Cold Spring, N. Y. The building of the Grand Trunk railway here was being adorned with some thirty or more window boxes, which were elaborately filled with first- class stock. It must present a beautiful picture through the summer season, as the building itself is a magnificent piece of architecture. W. M. COLUMBUS, O. The rose show held under the auspices of the Columbus Horticultural Society last week was a marked success, the many classes bringing out a large num- ber of amateurs. Several of the florists sent flowers in baskets to help to deco- rate the exhibition rooms, which were in the Cadillac building. The Columbus Florists' Association held a banquet at the Neil House June 14. There was much to eat, much fun and much speech-making. Kobert Buehler, for eight years florist of the Imbecile Institution, died June 18 from cancer of the stomach, following an illness of nine months.

That the increased cost of materials has hit the publishers of trade papers, newspapers and other publications, as well as florists and men in almost all lines of business, is shown by the state- ment of Secretary of Agriculture D. F. Houston, regarding the print paper situ- ation, which follows: ' ' Conditions in the paper industry have constituted one of the most serious of our domestic problems during the last year. Due to the exorbitant prices charged for news print, the profits of the great dailies were either wiped out entirely or else reduced to a minimum, while the small publishers were brought face to face with suspension and even absolute ruin. Periodical publishers have fared no less badly, the profits of book publishers have changed to losses in many cases, and the price of paper of every kind has risen by leaps and bonds."

I'inch the top out of the main shoot when it is of sufficient length and strength. Keep the plants well culti- vated and watered through the summer and lift them and pot them about the end of September. Keep them outdoors as long as the weather permits. C. W. De Kalb, 111. — J. A.

Resists Rot California Redwood is noted for its resistance to rot when in contact with the soil and moisture. That's why it was selected for the boxes that made up the world-famous Mesembryanthemum hedge fence around the grounds of the Panama-Pacific International Exposition, San Fran- cisco, 1915. Boxes of Mesembryanthemum were stacked up on their sides to th' desired height and shape, forming a beautiful living wall, more pleasing than any ordinary hedge and of far greater height. This use of Redwood contains a valuable suggestion to florists and 1 Iscape gardeners — both as to the novel con- struction of tne hedge, and the permanence of Redwood.

A little **inside about the reasons story" (clipped from a leading lumber trade journal) for — and some deductions as to the results of- — THE WOOD ETERNAV The following editorial item is from the May 10th, 19.17, issue of the LUMBER WORLD Review, (it is worth reading because it is true — and worth reproducing here because you probably don't read lumber trade papers.) We submit it without further comment. Note the Emphasis it puts on the Relative Value of Genuine Please do not he diverted bv the small type — A STORY WORTH READING. It s (From the ''Lumber World Review," May 10th, 1917.) "CYPRESS TRADE -MARK WINNING BIG.— THEIR SLOGAN, 'SJFE BUYING MEANS EASY SELLING,' PROVES GREAT MARKET AID TO RETAILERS. "Cypress, 'The Wood Eternal,' was the first lumber to be exploited through a really large general advertising campaign, and now cypress has 'gone and done it again'— and is win- ning big by helping its retailers to an 'automatic' market by sponsoring to the ultimate user every piece of cypress made by an Association mill. "When the Southern Cypress Manufacturers' Association began a campaign of advertising a few years ago, which was to exploit the virtues of cypress, little was known of this ven- erable wood by present day lumber users. "But as the stories of its remarkable rot-resisting proper- ties were told time after time, the interest of the lumber buying public in this new-old lumber was aroused. "It was not long thereafter until the mills of the Southern Cypress Manufacturers' Association were working to capacity to fill the orders for cypress which after more or less neglect had again come into its own. "And then followed what usually follows any marked suc- cess in merchandising in these days of intensive buymg and selling. Inferior, or upland, cypress (and some carelessly manufactured cypress) began to share unduly m the results of public faith, and it became necessary to protect the lay consumer and at the same time protect the conscientious manufacturer and the honorable and up-to-datepreponderance of retailers. "The general public was not aware that there was a con- siderable difference between 'tide-water* cypress and the cypress that grew too far inland— but experience began to teach them that while ono was 'eternal' the other was more or less temporal and 'fleeting.' One was truly rot-resistmg while the other failed to justify the confidence of the user in its rot -defying character. "So the already famous cypress arrow trade-mark was de- vised as an insurance policy for both seller and user. The value of a trade-mark need not be dwelt upon. The manu- facturer who won't sign his product will never get very far with it. in these days. The quality must be maintained if the product is to survive the fierce battle of business. "And so now genuine 'tide-water' cypress (the most eter- nal of the Wood Eternal) is no longer bought by name alone or on faith — but by a brand back of which is a group of man- ufacturers including most of the larger and more responsible producers of cypress. As a further testimony of pride in their product,' the output of each mill is being identified by the serial number of that mill incorijorated in the trade-mark as applied to each mill. The move is one in the right direc- tion, the most important one ever taken by any lumber manu- facturers, and is more than justifying, even this early, the well-known cypress slogan which recites that 'the only per- manent safety for the seller is perpetual safety for the buyer.' This is the keynote. "RETAILERS ARE ALREADY EXTENSIVELY REFUS- ING TO BUY 'ANONYMOUS CYPRESS,' AND ARE SHOW- ING THEIR UP-TO-THE-MINUTE ACUMEN BY SPECI- FYING THE TRADE MARK ON ALL THEIR CYPRESS ORDERS. THIS IS THE MARK WHICH IS NOW STAMPED ON THE TIDE- WATER CYPRESS-(THE 'WOOD ETER- NAL')-MANUFACTURED BY THE ^«. ^J^ c y ASSOCIATION MILLS. «^M^^^^C "IT MARKS A NEW EPOCH IN %wM \»y^%.

The foregoing question appeared in the same conspicuous position in The Review some months ago.

"1|k "T* Ward insist that the ques- &I^L I tion, "Can America grow ri ^J its own azaleas?" should ' be answered in the af- firmative, but he is man- ifesting the sincerity of his statements by invest- ing large sums of money in preparations for sup- plying the American demand for the plants. He has already covered a good many acres of ground at the Cottage Gardens Nurseries, Eureka, Cal., with slat houses, glass houses, frames and other structures, expen- sively equipped for the propagation and growing of azaleas, and the work of building is still proceeding merrily. As fast as new space is enclosed, it is filled with stock. The best test of the genuineness of a man's faith in a business idea is the amount of cap- ital he is willing to use in backing the idea. Prospects at Eureka. Mr. Ward's success in former undertakings would probably insure respectful attention to his opinion of the prospects at Eureka. But he intimates that the developments at Eureka have reached such a stage that tliey are now among the self-evi- dent facts and are no longer a mere matter of opinion.

Reports to banks by their out-of-town correspondents indicate there is consid- erable practice of economy in the larger cities, while the smaller towns find re- tail trade unusually good. In a review of business by the National Bank of the Republic this matter of economy is dealt with as seen from a business viewpoint. The bank says in part: "There has been undue agitation on the subject of. economy. The hysteria which prevailed immediately after our entrance into the war led to the dis- semination of an excessive amount of gratuitous advice regarding the curtail- ment of personal expenditures. Sensa- tional reports of a food shortage were followed by similar inferences regarding practically all the necessities of life. Affects Retail Trade. "The curtailment of purchases fol- lowing brought about a condition in general retail trade which amounted almost to stagnation. Were half the suggested economies to be carried into effect the result would be an immediate and real depression, made more severe by the drastic readjustment in com- modity prices which would necessarily follow. The merchants of this country have large stocks of high-priced mer- chandise for which many of them are indebted to the banks. Any prolonged let-up in l)uying on the part of the pub- lic at this time would cause a forced liquidation which would seriously un- dermine the entire price structure. "There is ample opportunity for effecting economies. Elimination of Avaste by individuals and corporations, larger ])roduction through the avoid- ance of absenteeism on the part of labor, and methods of distribution that will curtail duplicated effort are some of the suggested means for accomplish- ing the desired result. "The Department of Agriculture re- cently issued a statement estimating that the saving of one ounce of edible meat per day by every American fam- ily Avould amount to nearly one-lialf billion ])ounds per annum, or the equiva- lent of 87.j,000 head of beef cattle." Good Times Predicted. As to the business outlook, rather boom times are predicted. Tlie bank says : "If the experience of tlie Allies is worth anything, little a])prehension need be felt as to tlie ability of our indus- tries to til rive under a war regime. We are dependent upon Germany for none of our raw material. In fact, with the exception of a few commodities, and those originating princijjally in allied countries, we are practically self-sus- tained as regards the elements which enter into the material side of warfare. * ' Our factories, mills and shipyards are already booked up months ^.head with civilian business, in the ease of the United States Steel Corporation alone the tonnage on order representing more than eighty per cent of a full year's ca- pacity. Industries to Boom. "The $8,800,000,000 provided for in the revenue budget of the government is equivalent to the total value of our enormous export trade in all of the last year and a half. The expenditure of this huge amount on behalf of the Allies as well as ourselves cannot but re- sult in stimulating every department of industry, trade and transportation." There arc various ideas as to the prolongation of the war. Eventually it is expected that increases in wages will lead to increased purchases of moderate priced luxuries. The well-to-do will be hit by the heavy income tax, and since they now have presumably all they need this class of buyers may economize in the matter of high priced luxuries, but flowers are not high priced luxuries, and the rich may be expected to buy about as many as ever, while the wage- earners will buy more than before. CAN CEMETERY BAR PIJINTING? Florists of Anderson, Ind., are con- siderably incensed over the following notice posted at the Maplewood ceme- tery: in that city: Flower beds, flower baskets, iirns and other planting by lot owners prohibited. Cut flowers, loose or in disappearing vases, permitted. This is in arcordance with the rules and regu- lations of Maplewood cenieter.v, a copy of whicli can be secured at tlie company's office, liOl Union buying, Anderson, Ind. This action of the Anderson cemetery brings up again the question of the right of cemetery associations to regu- late the ornamentation of lots by the owners or whoever the owners may em- ploy to do the work, the latter in a ma- jority of cases being florists. In the July 6, 1916, issue of The Re- view this subject was exhaustively dis- cussed by an attorney, who made an in- vestigation of court decisions affecting it. Summarized, the findings of the at- torney are as follows: RIGHTS OF CEMETERY. In order to maintain a uniform scheme of deco- ration, a cemetery association lias a right to control the planting on its grounds, and hence may sometimes be legally sustained in excluding tlie work of outside florists. WHEN A CEMETERY EXCEEDS RIGHTS. If a cemetery permits lot owners to do tlieir own planting, but at the same time prohibits them from engaging outside florists to do tlie work, such procedure is inconsistent and probably would not be upheld by the courts. A cemetery usually is not entitled to engage in outside trade in competition witli florists, ex- cept, possibly, to disfiose of surplus stock. If a cemetery is allowed, by its charter and tlie local laws, to sell stock in the public mar- kets, it slioiild not escape jiayment of taxes on such parts of its property as are used in such competitive trade. THE LEGAL REMEDY. When a cemeter.v exceeds its legal rights, to the detriment of the florists in the vicinity, they may protect themselves, indiviilually or col- lectively, by an appeal to tlie courts, bringing suit as a taxpa.ter or in tlie name of a lot owner. Apparently, unless exceptional cir- cumstances can be shown, the Anderson cemetery is within its rights. SEASONABLE NOTES. Cattleyas. The bulk of the early summer-flower- ing cattleyas have now finished ])loom- ing, but we sliall have late plants of Mossiie and Mendclii for a week or two longer and gigns will hold over a little while, (iaskelliana will help in some measure to fill up the gaji until the fall- blooming laliinta conies in season, to- ward the end of August. After the end of June cattleva flowers are not par- ticularly abundant, and it usually haj)- ]ieiis tliat in late .Inly and August tlie ]irices run uj) to midwinter heights. Those possessing some of the late sum- mer-flowering hylirids will find them sjiecially valuable at that time. We have liail a jieculiar season, somewhat akin to that of a year ago. Clear, warm days have been few; dark, Avet and sunless ones have been abun- dant. The advantages of movable shad- ing in such a season are manifold and far more than rejiay for any labor en- tailed in placing tliem in ]>osition or re- moving them. As a rule, growers have now dro]ii)ed the use of fire heat unless it may be a little for such subjects as calantiies, jihalft'iiopsis .or East Indian dendrobes, and the atmosjihere of the orcliid houses will on dark days get (lecidcdiy daiii]) and claniniy. Watering under such conditions must be carefully done. Better let the jilants run on the dry side rather than the reverse. Fall and Avinter-blooming cattleyas, like labiata, Triaiiai and Percivaliana, Ji NE 28, 1917. The Florists^ Review 13 Cyclone at Freeport, III., Drops Boiler House Roof in an Adjacent Greenhouse. arc now makiufi^ active f];rovvtli of both bulbs and roots and will need an in- creased water supply. C^attleyas do not need watering daily, even in hot weather; twice or thrice a week suf- fices. Spraying overhead each after- noon, however, will prove beneficial. Cypripediums. Cypripediums succeed V)est when given Ok. heavier shade than the cat- tleyas and it need not be of a remov- able nature. _ They also enjoy a closer and more humid atmosphere. However, a few varieties, like the old insigne, succeed well in coldfranies througli the summer, or even directly in the open below the shade of trees. The stronger rooted and well established cypripe- diums are all much benefited by applica- tions of jieak manure water once in ten days. I have found that cow ma- nure and soot, ])laced in a bag and im- mersed in a barrel, provide a good food for a number of orchids, as well as many other pot ])lants. Calanthes. The calanthes are now in active growth. They enjoy heat and I find tiiat a little fire heat on wet days and cool nights is much to their liking. A fire made of a few logs of wood, whicli will give just sufficient heat to warm tlie pipes for an hour or two and dry uji the condensation, is what is needed. If there is any one orchid more than an- other which revels in a brisk heat and moisture, it is the calanthe. It is just a little early yet to start feeding the plants, but as soon as the roots liavo i)ecome active and are seen running over the surface soil and even clinging to the ]>ot sides, some cow manure water every second or third Avatering should be given. Let it be weak at first, but fairly strong as growtli ad- vances. "Where a small batcli is grown it is a good ])lau to dip the pots once a week in a tub of liquid manure. This applies more especially to C vestita and ('. Veitchii, but all the calanthes are improved by similar treatment. Dendrobiums. Such varieties as Dendrobium nobile and its hybrids, also D. Wardianum, D. formosum giganteum and D. Phalaenop- sis, are now making their new growths. Like tlie calantlies, they revel in a warm, stuffy and humid atmosphere. A house which can be closed uj) about I! or ii:'M) o'clock each afternoon, after syringing the plants and wetting down the floors and roof* so that the atmos- ])here reeks with moisture, is just wiiat these East Indian dendrol)es like, and, given such conditions, tiieir rate of growth becomes much accelerated. Odontoglossums and Odontiodas. Similar methods of culture should be used for odontoglossums of the cris{)um and Pescatorei type and for odontiodas. Special Notice Because the Fourth of July falls on Wednesday this year, it becomes necessary to go to press with that week's issue of One day earlier than usual TUESDAY instead of Wednesday Contributors and advertisers who wish to avoid possible disappoint- ment will have their "copy" in this office MONDAY for the issue of July 5. which latter are hybrids between odon- toglossums and cociiliodas and are iiandsome and striking. Botli enjoy a sunny house from November until the end of Marcii, l)ut in the summer, which is their most trying ]ieriod, a lean-to house with a northern ex])osure suits tliem best. The roof should be shadeil with blinds, which should roll a foot above the glass and should be useil only while the sun shines directly on tiie ])lants. In extremely hot weather it is better not to keej) the atmosphere too moist and the ])lants themselves sum- mer better if run a little on the drv side. An abundance of night air should be given. Sprayings overiiead each aft- ernoon, when the foliage can dry before niglitfail, is l)eneficial. A few odon- toglots, such as grande and ])ulchellum majus, succeed well under warmer con- ditions tiian the crispum section. I have found these do well on a l)ench at the cool end of tlie cattleva liouse. FREAK OF FREEPORT STORM. A freak of the cyclone which did con- siderable (hunage at Freei)ort, 111., June 12, is shown in tiie accompanying illus- trations. The wind lifted the roof, .iOx 7)'l feet, off the boiler house of the Free- ])ort Floral Co. range, carried it over two greenhouses and dropped it into a tiiird. Aside from the loss of tiie roof tiiere was practically no damage to the l)oiler house. Tiie luuise struck was 27x1(59 feet, of (larland construction, with truss roofs, iron gutters and angle iron purlins. A large portion of tlie house and tiie stock it contained were destroyed and some damage was done to tlie otiier houses by timbers droiijiing from the Hying boiler- house roof. The loss was estinmted at between $4,0UO and $."),0()() by Louis Bauscher, secretary of the company, with no cvclone insurance. CANTERBURY BELLS.

The first week in July is sufficiently early to make a sowing of Primula mal- acoides, that easily grown and decora- tive primrose. Many growers make a mistake in sowing seeds in winter or early spring, at the same time as P. obconica and P. sinensis; such plants become far too large and cumbersome. P. malacoides has grown in favor rap- idly during the last two or three years and now stands at the head of the green- house primroses in popularity. From seeds sown in early July plants may be had in ii-inch to 7-inch pots or pans for winter flowering. There are bright pink forms of P. malacoides now offered which will be found to sell particularly well. Grow this primula in a coldframe until the end of October, then give it a cool greenhouse. It is comparatively hardy and has withstood zero tempera- tures in pockets in a well drained rock garden with a light mulch of leaves. Show Pelargoniums. As the flowering season for pelargo- niums passes the plants should be placed outdoors and laid on their sides in a sunny location. They will need no fur- ther attention for some weeks, until the wood has turned a nutty brown color and much of the foliage has fallen, when they can be pruned back quite hard and placed in a coldframe where protection from torrential rains can be given. Water the plants sparingly, but spray them freely and they will soon break away, wlien tliey can l)e shaken out and repotted in smaller-sized pots. Primula Obconica. While Primula obconica can be grown in a greenliouse through the hot months, it will thrive mucli better in a coldframe where tlie saslies are well elevated over tlie ])lants and shade is afforded by lath screens. The j)lants will be l)enefited by liaving the saslies removed in tlie evening, unless tliunder storms seem im- minent. P. sinensis and P. kewensis succeed well under the same treatment as P. obconica. Another metliod of cul- ture which will give large, liandsome jdaiits is to plant out tlie jirimulas in a compost of loam, well decayed manure, leaf-mold and sand, and lift the i)lants carefully with good ])alls, in early Octo- ber. If kept well sliaded and sprayed for a few days, after careful lifting and potting the plants will lose few leaves and soon become establislied in ])ots. Marguerites for Christmas. Only tlio small-flowered wliite mar- guerites are valuable for midwinter ))looming. The yellow varieties do not make sliapely pot plants and neither tliese nor Mrs. Sander and Queen Alex- andra are satisfactory bloomers in early winter. If you have plants of the small- flowered and bushy-habited marguerites, tlie plants should be kept potted and pinched from time to time. Tliey will lie better if jilunged in a bed of coal ashes. They will jiersist in throwing shoots carrying flower buds, but keep them pinched back, and if the pinching is stopped about September 20 the plants can be had in full flower for Christmas. Tuberous-Rooted Plants. Such plants as begonias, gloxinias, gesneras and achimenes are useful dur- ing the hot summer months. Each re- quires shade from direct sunshine, or the foliage will soon become disfigured. As the plants become established in their pots, give them occasional applications of liquid manure and soot water. This will keep the foliage a rich, dark green color and intensify the colors of the blooms. All these tuberous-rooted plants are of comparatively easy cul- ture, but they are liable to be attacked by thrips in warm, dry weather. If they are fumigated once a week, how- ever, they can be kept clean. The achimenes will be found especially well adapted for basket culture, as are some of the drooping forms of begonias. Adiantums. All the maidenhair ferns are now making strong growth and will need an abundant water supply. In addition, do not be afraid to give them liquid cow manure water. It is not generally known how much these ferns relish cow manure, both in the soil and in liquid form. I looked over a bed of adian- tums the other day which had made an astonishing growth, and I noticed that a mulch of cow manure was mainly re- sponsible for their luxuriant appear- ance. I can remember that when an ap- prentice I was cautioned never to apply manure water to maidenhair ferns, or they would be ruined, but time has proved some old teachings to be wrong. WINTER-FLOWERING PLANTS. Can you suggest some good stock to take the place of primulas and cinerarias for winter-flowering plants? The obconica primulas proved quite poisonous last winter and cinerarias seem to have lost favor with the pub- lic, so I do not care to try them again this season. I would like to grow something that requires about the same temperature as these plants. F. G.— 111. Try Primula malacoides in place of P. obconica, but do not sow until early in July. This is a better primula than obconica and is not poisonous. It needs cool culture. Try Schizanthus wise- tonensis in place of cinerarias, sowing seed about September 1. Cyclamens do well under cool culture and sell well. Primula sinensis could be grown, but this variety has little foliage and shakes badly, being decidedly inferior to P. malacoides. C. W. Mews' from roQ Hillegom, Holland. — In the dissolu- tion of the firm of R. Van der Schoot & Son, the land, stocks and customers' accounts liave been divided equally among the three brothers, R. A., J. B. and A. C. Van der Schoot, comprising the firm, each of whom will trade under his own name in future. London, England. — One of the com- pensations of the times is the discovery that flowers are more appreciated than ever, that the retailer can sell more and at ])etter prices than ever before. "I know at least one wholesale grower of roses for cut flowers," says a writer in a trade paper, "who had a record year last season. When one can get the stock, it sells, from l)edding jilants to fruit trees. " Paris, France. — The .journal of the Federation of JVench Horticultural As- sociations, formerly a monthly, now quarterly, has made its ap])earance near- ly three months overdue, but the editor explains he has lacked labor for type- setting, coal, gas and electricity for the works, experienced a shortage of ])ai)er and been ill himself. The entrance of America into tlie world struggle is liailed l)y an eloquent address of wel- come from the federation to all the professional horticulturists of the United States. Rotterdam, Holland. — The winter now ended has been the coldest in Holland since 1901. The bulb acreage put out last autumn was not so large as usual and there were some losses, due to in- sufficient covering. Stock in warehouses also suffered, because fuel sometimes was unobtainable even at prices double those known before the war. Paris, France. — French bulb growers are uneasy lest the prohibition on the import of bulbs from foreign countries into England be extended, during the current year, to apply to France, which has hitherto been excepted from the general proliibition. The growers have prepared tlieir crop for 1917, and feel that it would be a hardship, involving huge loss, if the liarvest were excluded from tliese islands. Several of the larger organizations representing the interests of the bulb growers ap- proaclied the French government on the subject. Monsieur Clementel replied that he had placed the matter before the Englisli government, representing to them the advantages of permitting the entry into Britain of the products of the French bulb growers. It has since been stated, however, that the French office of the British Board of Trade lias said that no bulbs of what- ever origin will be admitted into Eng- land this vear. June 28, 1917. The Florists^ Review 15 . METHODS OF PROPAGATION. (Extracts from a paper read by T. I). Hatfield, of Wellesley, Mass., at a meeting of tbe Massa- chusetts Horticultural Society.] The propagation of plants may be divided into the following classes: By cuttings; by layers; by grafts; by divi- sion, and by seeds and spores. In the use of cuttings, the first thing necessary is a propagating bed and the means to care for freshly rooted plants. If you have no house for the purpose, close in a part of a bench with glazed sash or with cotton cloth. Bottom heat will be needed and can be obtained by closing in the hot water pipes under the bench. About five inches of good, clean, gray sand, as a propagating medium, is necessary. There should be a few de- grees more heat in the bed than in the air; a bottom heat of 75 to 78 degrees is about right. If there is too much bot- tom heat, vents must be provided to allow the surplus heat to escape. The idea of closing in the bed over- head is to control the air and sunlight, as fresh cuttings and grafts lose much by respiration in the daytime. The bed may be aired at night, when there is less respiration. This airing will help to harden the cuttings as they become rooted. Booting Softwood Cuttings. If the cutting has opposite leaves, cut it off at a joint and it will root there or thereabouts. If the cutting has al- ternate leaves, like the heliotrope, cut it anywhere, and it will root anywhere along the stem. Some leaves should be taken oflF, to reduce respiration. The proper condition of the wood and the conditions under which cuttings will root can be learned only by experience. It will be safe to make the sand quite firm and the cuttings quite firm in the bed; also to give them plenty of water and protection from sunlight for the first few days. As they root, loss water and less shade will be required. The best time to root softwood cuttings is in the spring, as the conditions can be more easily controlled. In this way can be rooted all green- house stock, such as heliotropes, carna- tions, stevias, salvias, softwood cuttings of roses, lantanas, fuchsias, abutilons, geraniums, leaf cuttings of begonias, growing cuttings of azaleas, hoatlis, aca- cias, cytisus, and some varieties of an- tirrhinums and agcratums. When lilacs, deutzias, spiraeas, pliila- del])hus and other spring-flowering shrubs are forced under glass, this af- fords means of propagating these plants from soft cuttings. This fact is often taken advantage of by nurserymen with rare shrubs, such as Daphne Kneorum, to force the plants under glass for cuttings, and root them in the spring. It is often the best way. Half -ripe and Hardwood Cuttings. In general practice, however, many tree and shrub cuttings are rooted from half-ripened wood taken from outdoors during tiie summer. For these the prop- agating bed may be used without bot- tom heat, thougli it is sometimes done in a cool greenhouse in flats, and may be done in a coldfranie. Tliis is a good way to root, in addition to those ))reviously mentioned, ever- green azaleas, viburnums, cotoneasters, forsythias, ligustrunis, cataljias, loni- ceras, syni])ii()ri('arpos, and some rnsos taken with a heel. All spring-rooted cuttings should be potted at once.

Everyone in Albany wlio can read knows that Mr. (Jloeckner sells flowers, because he is one of those persistent advertisers wlio advertise per- sistently. p]ver and anon The Review reprints one of Mr. Gloeckner's advertise- ments for the reason they all are original. Mr. Gloeckner lived thirty years l)efore he entered tlie trade ten years ago. His father and grandfather before him had been florists and it was only natural that he should follow suit when lie reached the age of discretion. He is a life member of tlie S. A. F., chairman of the florists' section of the International Association of Rotary Clubs and a strong booster for the F. T. 1).

With many of the trees and slinil)s there is another chance, and that is by liardwood cuttings taken after the leaves fall. Tlie nursery jiractice is, for such as lilacs, deutzias, sjiira'as and many others given in the previous lists, to make cuttings in tlie autumn, tie them in bundles, and store them in moist soil or sand until spring. During tiie winter they will form a callus or root- bearing surface. They should be plant- ed out in spring and a fair jiercentage of them will root during the summer. Root Cuttings. Many trees and shrubs may be prop- agated from root cuttings, more tlian is generally sujijiosed. The practice is to cut up roots and store them in flats of sandy soil over winter. This may be done with the quince, ailanthus, clad- rastis, elff-agnus, fothergilla, elm, l>riiinis, wistaria, and some roses, such as R. lucida, R. rugosa, R. cinnamoniea and R. aljdiia. Some of these root cut- tings, especially from trees, will take two years to make plants. This is a coiiiiiiDii practice with the Japanese aiienioiie and some greenhouse plants, sucli as dieffenbachias, draca-nas and lioinnrdias. I 'I'll !)(• (•(Mitiniieil. | BeUeville, 111.— L. F.

Wlien Admiral George Dewey died, Z. I). Blackistoue, Washington, was called uj)oii to make an unusual funeral j»iece. It was an admiral's flag. Ad- miral Dewey was the first and only ad- miral since the days of Farragut and Porter of Civil war fame. When the latter died in 1891, the office was abol- ished, but was revived as a special honor to the hero of Manila bay. Con- sequently, when Mr. Blackistone was asked to jiroduce an admiral's flag, it is unlikely that such another design ever had been made. The flag was of violets and embellished with lilies, wath Mexican ivy for background. The stars will be of particular interest to florists. Tjjey were made of lilies by breaking off the sixth ])etal and filling the center with a large fat carnation, which pro- duced the desired effect. The flag is sliown in the accompanying illustration. that class of design, • many customers are sure to ask florists to reproduce the flag or insignia in flowers as a funeral piece. Here is a tip. Among the first pages in Webster's dictionary there are repro- duced in colors the flags of the com- manding officers in the army and navy. In the back of the same book are pic- tures of the insignia of the military and naval officers. Witii these pictures be- fore him, the work will be easy for the expert florist. WAR-TIME FUNERAL DESIGNS. ' Since the beginning of the war fu- neral work and the number of flowers sent to hospitals liave increased greatly in Canada. It is probable that the en- try of the United States into the con- flict will have a similar effect here. When that time comes florists will un- doubtedly be called upon to make ap- ])ropriate designs to honor the soldier or sailor who has died in the service. The rank of officers in the army and navy is shown by the insignia on their uniforms. Higher officers in both branches of the service have flags of different designs which denote their rank. While tlie trade does not favor WAR'S DEMANDS. For the duration of the war, accord- ing to public forums, the keynote of American life will be economy. Thrift, saving and the elimination of waste are to be drilled into Mr. and Mrs. Citizen by every means the authorities know how to use. It is to be shouted from ever.\^ housetop that victories are won as much by abolishing waste at home as by abolishing enemy trenches at the front. The most striking phase of the economy movement is the governmental campaign on behalf of conservation of all kinds and 100 per cent utilization. Obviously, these conditions create opportunities for advertisers of prod- ucts that have an economy appeal. The significance of the economy crusade is not being overlooked either by manufac- turers or by producers of foodstuffs. Clever advertisers are already featur- ing economy in their ads. We see the statement that ''fewer eggs are re- quired with baking powder." The 10-cent loaf of bread is advertised with the argument that a 10-cent loaf has only two "heels," while two 5-cent loaves have four. It is not the economy drive, however, but the parallel i)ropaganda on behalf of home gardens that has benefited seedsmen. This speeding up of agri- cultural production, which is closely identified with the economy plan, has been turned to good account by deal- ers in seeds, fertilizers and garden tools. The demand for seeds has in many cases been so great that it has been difficult to handle. Mail orders, ac- cording to reports, have been unprec- edented as to volume. Local retail business has been correspondingly heavy, and a burden to those with small salesrooms, the greater activities being crowded into a few weeks, as usual. It is interesting to note that one seed concern is striving to cash in on a de- mand which is a by-product of the gar- dening fad. Insects and diseases have always been a part of gardens, and now that vegetable patches are more numer- ous than ever before, more insecticides will be needed. To translate these con- ditions into dollars and cents one seed concern encloses a circular with each ])arcel, bill or letter. Here is a por- tion of the message: Kvery true Anicrican linvinjr any nvailable ground is liavinK a vegetable Rarden this year. JIany liave never liatl one before and their knowledge is tlierefore limited. We wish to as- sist you as much as imssible and willingly place our knowledge at your disimsal. One of the main causes for tlie many discour- agements and failures is due to tlie numberless liests that infest the gardens, and in this case we can say positively an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. To assist you in combating thes(> various pests .•lud diseases, destroyers of gardens, we have carefully compiled the following chart for tlie use of the various insecticides. Any information we can offer further on the care and culture of your garden will be freel.v given, as we wish to assist as much as possible in waging this great world war. Then follows a list of insecticides, with prices and information as to quan- tities to use of each, and when. Florists who sell to the public might profit by the hint. FORMULA FOR SOIL PESTS. What should be done to kill ])ests that destroy the roots of asters and other outdoor plants? W. H. D.— Wis. To kill grubs or larva? that eat roots, you should bore holes in the soil twelve to fifteen inches apart each way and four to five inches deep. Pour a scant teasjioonful of carbon bisulphide in each hole and immediately cover it. The re- sultant gas will suffocate the soil pests. For root aphis on asters and other ])lants a coal oil emulsion, one part of coal oil to thirty parts of water, can be used, pouring a pint of the mixture about the stem of each plant. This method will not kill the aphides, but will drive them away. Neither the car- bon bisulphide nor coal oil emulsion will liarm the plants. Some growers have found tobacco water useful in fighting the root aphis. C. W. BRIEF REPLIES. An Admiral's Flag for Dewey Funeral by Z. D. BIackistone> Washington, D. C. E. D.

The Florists^ Review 17 FLORICULTURAL s^ <^ EDUCATION What the Agricultural Colleges are Doing and Hope to do in the Interests of Commercial Floriculture in Education and Research. £^;^ Surely it confidence IT is my firm belief that floriculture in all its phases is becoming more and more scientific; that is to say, more and more dependent on the result of scientific research and discovery, must give a man greater and power if he has had a term or two at a school or college where the subjects in which he will be engaged in the earning of his livelihood are highly specialized. Above all, of course, he must have i)ractical exj)eri- ence; that is taken for granted; but if he understands j)lant life, chemistry, the habit and structure of insect pests, the life history of fungi, and other such things, he is surely a lietter man at his business. Practice with science, in other words, is the ideal for which we should strive, and we are following this ])lan as far as existing circum- stances will permit. Work at Amherst. For the benefit of those who are not thoroughly familiar with our system and methods, I will ana- lyze .briefly the work of the Massa- <'husetts Agricul- tural College along floriculturai lines. The college offers an education with- out tuition fee to any student who is a resident of Massa- chusetts and wlio meets the require- ments for admission. Women are admitted on the same basis as are men. Students who are not resi- dents of ^lassacliu- setts are re((uired to pay a nominal tui- tion fee. The 4-year course leads to the degree of bachelor of science. Twenty- seven teaching de- partments offer in- struction in agricul- ture, liorticulture, sciences, languages and matliematics. A system of major courses ])erniits a student in his third year to elect major work in one of fif- teen departments, specializing in that and allied subjects for a i^eriod of two vears. A student From a i>!ii)er on "Floriculturai KducatiDii," rciid lit a iiiet'tiilK of the (lardoncrs" :iii of Mostoii, liy I'rof. Ariio H. NclnliiiK. then of Massachusetts AKriciiltiiral I'oUcKc, Am- herst. Mass. specializing in floriculture is always required to take entomology, chemistry, a certain number of courses in botany, and other closely allied subjects, such as landscape gardening. ■ In nearly all our courses the students are required to arrange their hours according to the needs of the work, which means that we can call on them when the more important work is going on in the greenhouses and gardens, and every effort is made to give these men a working knowledge of the best meth- ods now in use. The object of the work is not to turn out specialists or men who have mastered all the details of practical work. If a man wishes to specialize along any particular line, he must first obtain this j)ractice in some ui)-to-date establishment. In this connection I wish to say that we always urge our Arno H. Nehrling. men to go into practical work during the summer months and vacation peri- ods. 1 think the time is near at hand when every student taking a course of this nature will be required to have at least one year's experience before he receives his diploma. The Khode Island Agricultural College has just recently i)assed a ruling to this effect. This would not be essential for the son of a florist or a gardener, but for those who have never worked under glass. Short Courses. As not everyone has the j)reparation necessary for admission to the regular 4-year course, and as not everyone can jifford'to spend four years in the study of fundamentals, men may come to our college for one or two years and take special work in those subjects in whicli they are particularly interested. They must, of course, be willing to conform to tlie rules and regulations of the college, and men of any age may enter these courses. In addition to this, the college offers a ten weeks' course, to meet the needs of those, both old and young, who desire to study ])riiiciples ami modern methods and who for various reasons are unable to attend the 4-year course. The work is planned to bring l)efore the student the results of the latest investigations in agricultural sci- ence, and to point out their jiractieal a|i|)lication. In flori- culture the course covers, as thorough- ly as time will per- mit, those aspects of the work of special interest to the grow- er. Some of the sulijects considered are greenhouse con- struction, green- house management and methods used by the ])rogressive florist. S])ecial trips to some of the up- to-date floriculturai establishnumts in the state form a valuable part of the course. In addition to the regular lec- ture work, lectures are usually given by experts in the grow- ing and marketing of special crops. 16 The Florists^ Review •Iim: L's, I'.HT.

PHILADELPHIA NOTES. FOR OUTDOOR SUMMER BLOOMS. We liave a customer who wants some large beds ])lanted to light ])ink carna- tions for summer blooming. AVliat va- riety would you suggest and what kind of ])lants would give the best satisfac- tion— coldframe plants, early cuttings or what? L. J. B.— N. Y. In order to got satisfactory results from carnations as sumnuM-fiowering sulijects, ])rei)arati()ns should have been made much earlier tluin this. Practi- cally all the young carnation i)lants raised by the carnation s])ecialists are intended for winter ilowering and could hardly be ex])ected to begin bloonung profusely four montlis earlier than their ])r()per time. There is no good reason, however, why carnations should not i)rove quite satisfactory to the amateur gardener during the summer, if the j)roper varieties are selected and tiie ]dants gi'own to proper size before planting time. Two methods could be followed with good success. Take cuttings (juite oarly in the season, say alxmt ()ctol)er ]5. As soon as they are rooted, ])ot tliem into 2-inch ])Ots. Shift into Cl- inch and finally into 4-inch, keeping tliem tojiped closely right along, to get as biisliy plants as possible. Hy May 1 you should h.Mxc plants Avith I'liougli shoots to neiMJ no nioi'c topjiing, and if jtlanted out early in May tiiev should lie in bloom early in .luly and continue in liloom until frost cuts them down. Tiu' other nu'thod is to lift tiie smaller jd.'ints that were not benched in the fall, jiot them into 4-incli pots an bushy ]ilants; foi- instance, the KnchantiH'ss familv. Beacon, -Matidiless, Mrs. Ward, Miss Theo, etc. These ])lants could be produced at piactically the same cost ;is good 4-in(di geraniums and would proliablv bring a better price. A. V. ,T. B. HOPE FOR LOWER COAL PRICES. Govemment Takes a Hand. As a res\ilt of fedei-al forces set in motion June 2(5, 400 coal operators, rep- resenting the great fitdds of both bitumi- nous and anthracdte, ])ledgei| thems(dvps to stdl their jiroduct at a fair and rea- sonable ])rice to be fixed with the a]i- proval of the coal committei' of the ('ouncil of National Defense. The action of the coal barons followeil an all-day conference with the defense council's coal committee. They were wai'ued by Secretary of the Interior Lane, Seiretary of the Xavy Daniels and .1. Franklin Fort, of the Federal Trade Commission, that unless they es- tablished a fair selling price their out- ])ut would be taken over by the govern- ment. The first step taken by the coal men to cooperate with the government was the appointment of special committees of seven producers from each coal mining- district, whose duty it shall be to discuss increased production and reduction of ])rices with the defense council's coal committee. Coal Men "Only Human." While the conference with the defense council's committee was in progress, the Senate interstate commerce committee was holding a hearing with coal ()])er- ators and miners as witnesses. Charles M. Moderwell, of Chicago, the first witness, told the committee when his attention was called to tlie fact that the prices of coal ranged up to 400 per cent in excess of prices for the same coal last year, that coal operators, ''being only human," had taken ad- vantage of war demands to raise ])rices. The hope for government action which would result in lower coal prices would be stronger if the defense coun- cil's committee had members represent- "Too Late to Classify."

H. M. LANCASTER, PA. A Day Off at Hershey Park. The Lancaster county florists held their annual picnic at Hershey park June 21. More than 12r» florists and their families and friends jiarticipated in the frolic. A s]»ecial car left Lan- caster at 7:1.1 a. m., ])ut some of the picnickers went by automolule. Among the visitors were Mr. and Mrs. John F.

In tlie afternoon a band con- cert was given, the music giving way to an hour of sports, in which the chil- dren competed for prizes before the baseball grand stand. The picnickers arrived at Lancaster at 9:1:") ]). m., and each declared the outing one of the most delightful ever held by the florists. The committee in charge consisted of L. S. Landis, Harry K.

Although the weather has been inter- mittently cold and wet, business lias been brisk, thanks to numerous wed- dings, not a few prominent funerals and a batch of graduations. Stock is plen- tiful. The carnations are of uncommon- ly good (juality for this time of tlie year. Killarney roses show the effects of the cool, wet weather; there is considerable mildew. Sweet peas are fine and may be had in quantities. Easter lilies are good, but witli ])eo- nies in the market the demand for tliem is small. Snapdragon is about over with ; outdoor-grown calendula and ])yrethrum are taking its place, espe- cially for table decorations. Florists interested in l)ed(liiig work had a late start, but they have Ix'eu working hard when it has not rained and now are well cauglit uj). Various Notes.

We have had a great deal of trouble of tliis kind. Is it because the celerv is too early, or is it the fault of the seed? A. E. W.— Minn. This is liable to liai»pen with such early celery as Paris (Joldeu and White Plume. A too early sowing is usually resjjonsible. A spell of cool, damp weatiier followed by extreme lieat will cause many plants to l)olt to seed. When plants are dry at the root and soniewiiat starved, a spell of hot, moist weatiier will cause tiie jdants to run to seed, and vice versa. If the plants re- c(>ive a normal sup])ly of water at the roots rigiit along there \vill be a mini- mum of bolted specimens. There is usually little trouble with main crop and late celery running to seed. C. W. Williamsport, Pa.— The jieony show of the local garden club recently was held in the store of the Williamsj)ort Floral Co.

That experience stood me in good stead in later years, and was the secret of my success as a grower. Now I am at the last i)art of the business, as I term it; namely, the flower store, and looking back at the route taken I am convinced that it is the most successful one. We have had a store a little more than one year, but we have made a better showing than iluring any corresjionding time in a greenhouse, minus the care and worry which none ]>ut a grower knows. The ex[)erience gained is ])ut to a jiractical use for the l)enefit of our patrons, who, now especially, are ofttinies as well ])osted on ordinary floral matters as our- selves.

You get them. We both have them. The use of sphagnum moss as an asep- tic dressing for wounds is said to be an ancient practice, and not, as is some- times claimed, a modern discovery. Lin- naius, in Flora Lapponica, records that in Lapland it was used for treatment of ulcers. Tradition tells that at the battle of Flodden the Highland soldiers stanched their wounds by means of bog moss and soft grass. PLEASE NOTE.

A man brought uj) among florists and who meets many of the trade now% al- though not actively engaged in the busi- ness, says we all are like the boy pass- ing through the cemetery at night — his hair stood up, not at what he saw, but because of what he had heard he might see.

Oplielia is in lieaviest supply of the roses and moves fairly well, though not so easily as the darker colored varieties. The carnation season is rapidly ap- proaching its end. Stock is still in over- sujjply, liowever, and the quality has retrograded because of the heat. They sell slowly. A retrospect of the season on this item proves quite satisfactory. Althougli the season was late in start- ing, it was also late in ending, and re- turns for the season are not so bad as they might have been. Peonies are in heavy supply this week, because it is the heiglit of the local season. Larger quantities than were exj)ected are going into cold stor- age, l)ecause at present the demand is lethargic and low ])rices prevail. It is expected July will afford a better market for them. Easter lilies are in good suj)ply, but sell poorly. Valley remains the same; enough, but none too much. Orchids are still a scarce item. Some good quality sweet peas are arriving and are meeting witli an active demand. Poor quality stock, on the other hand, of which there is con- siderable, is ])roving difficult to dis- ]K)se of. Gladioli are in fair demand. Daisies are selling fairly well, although affected by the great quantity of field daisies which may be seen everywhere. The few forget-me-nots which arrive are finding a welcome reception. Pan- sies are about over with, the quality now being poor. Candytuft arrives in good supply and generally speaking sells well. Snapdragons sell slowly. Considerable quantities of new southern ferns arc arriving on the market, but eastern stock is still scarce and in active demand.

The commencement exercises at Brown University last week practi- cally concluded the social program for the season, although a number of weddings are still on the schedule. Decorations, cut flowers, ])askets and bouquets for weddings have ke])t the retailers busy, the business being well distributed. The warmer days have developed flowers of all kinds with great rapidity, and, with the masses of outdoor blooms coming in, the demand for greenhouse stock has shown a material decrease, the supply being considerably in excess of requirements. Prices show a shading off. Various Notes. The June exhibition of roses and strawberries by the Rhode Island Hor- ticultural Society was postponed one June 28, 1917.

The Florists^ Review 33 I This Florist Has Put His Delivery on a Business Basis I formerly delivered with a converted pleasure car, but the cost of upkeep was so great that I de- cided to give the Vim a tryout, with the result that it has increased my business and reduced my de- livery expense. My Vim is capable of handling all of our deliv- ery, doing the work quickly, without losing a day for repairs. Fkaxk M. Ross, Philadelphia. More business at less cost — that is the slogan of the live florist. And he knows that he must have effi- cient, economical delivery. The VIM Delivery Car is the ideal car for florists' delivery— easy on tires, low in gas consumption, stays out of the repair shop — and covers the trade on the jump. Add to this the fact that a handsome, sturdy VIM Delivery Car with your name on it is a rolling advertisement of service, effi- ciency and quality. The VIM Delivery Car will pay for itself out of what it saves. Investigate our Special Deferred Pay- ment Plan. 23,000 progressive American merchants are profiting by it today.

Several florists had effective windows during the Red Cross campaign last week. J. B. Keller Sons displayed a cross in red carnations, blocked out with white, and George T. Boucher had a fig- ure representing a Red Cross nurse in his window. Other stores displayed flags and posters, all of which helped in the campaign for contributions. Chester Ament still is shipping good carnations to this market. Local growers are reported to have a surplus stock of bedding plants, the rainy weather having been against their sale. ' The committee in charge of the peony show held a meeting at Convention hall June 22 and made final arrangements for the display June 29 and 30. A number of New York state growers have prom- ised to furnisli exhibits and it is ex- pected that^ the show will be elaborate. The net proceeds go to the Red Cross. George T. Boucher had an elaborate decoration last week at the Red Cross headquarters in Convention hall. Palms, ferns and flowers were used. J. B.

Several of the florists are planning to attend the S. A. F. convention at New York in August. R. F. PITTSBURGH, PA. The Market. Pittsburgh has boon enjoying its first real summer weatlier of the year and the call for flowers has been brisk. Wholesalers have been cleaning up their daily supplies in better shape than is usual at this season of the year. Peonies and Spanish irises are about finished and few sweet peas were in the market. There are still some fine carnations and roses, which with Beau- ties and lilies supply the demand. The retailers have been busy with a good call for funeral work, and school commencements and social work have helped. Tlie ])lant business still is hold- ing up, owing to the late season and lack of help. Various Notes. The wholesale liouses have gone on summer schedule and now close daily at 5 p. m. There has not been so much planting in the parks tliis year as usual because of scarcity of help. Randolph & McClements liad a large wedding at Franklin, Pa., last week and another at Oil City June 26.

Williams had an attractive window display of tuberous-rooted be- gonias combined with ferns and flags. G. P. Weaklen & Co. say that the last was the best season in their history. Business has been so strenuous that the employees are looking forward to vaca- tions, wliich begin in July. The Blind Floral Co. is making some fine displays in its Froncli windows, whif'li lend themselves nicely to the outdoor flowers that liave been used. The company's ])lant business was up to previous years, notwithstanding the bad weather. Miss Emma B. Maxwell reports a splendid season and says her force has been worked so liard a couple of quiet months will be welcome. William Turner's cut flower business continues to iiicreasc and, besides, he has liad a good season with ])lants. Miss Nellie G. King has been having a large quantity of funeral work.

Business is more quiet this week and nearly all kinds of flowers are over- stocked. Last week trade was fairly good, thanks to school graduations and weddings, the call for bright flowers being good. A great decline in the call for graduation bouquets was noted; many schools forbade the pres- entation of these in the interest of ' ' economy. ' ' The peonies began to arrive in large numbers from local growers June 23 and are at their flood tide this week. Those fortunate enough to get their blooms in early made good prices, but at present there is a decided glut and low prices. Roses sold tolerably well last week, but they are dragging now; so are car- nations. Sweet peas of a good, clear color are selling well, but the flowers in many cases have a faded look and have to be cleared at low prices. Val- ley sold well last week, but there is now less demand for it. Lilies still sell at low prices; also snapdragons, irises, calendulas and bachelor's buttons. For good yellow marguerites there still is a fair call. Cattleyas are less abundant, but a few more gardenias are seen. Smilax has been selling well and there has been a good call for As- paragus plumosus. Large gladioli have become plentiful and now are harder to dispose of. Various Notes. At Penn 's wedding orders have been plentiful during the last few days and have kept the staff busy. Large vases of peonies and other outdoor flowers are featured in the windows at present. The last half of June has given us some real summer weather. From June 18 to 23 we had continuously clear skies and comparatively high tern- CLEMMB *•• THE. J. N.

Since Good Friday, the day that war against Germany was declared, there has been a question as to whether or not flowers are a luxury; that is, one of the things that could be done without if money gets tight. I have told in this column the opin- ions of such authorities on the subject as Mrs. Fannie D. Hill, of Samuel Feast & Sons, Miss Cook and Mary Johnston, and I do not know of three women bet- ter qpalified to express an opinion on this most important question. Now, -each one of the above has declared, in language that could not be misinter- preted, that flowers are not a luxury, but an absolute necessity in the lives of the American people.

Unbiased Opinion Sought. I have been gathering material for this article ever since war was declared, and while from time to time I have given the opinion of florists, I realized that these people all had an ax to grind, that "the wish was father to the thought." So for a long time I have been looking for someone who I thought could express what we might term an average opinion. I did not want the opinion of one of the rich, nor the poor, for I think the opinion of the one would be as valuable as that of the other. The one I sought was some conservative person, who had seen the ups and downs of building a Members of Florists' Telegraph Delivery Ass'n Send all MARYLAND orders to SAMUEL FEAST S SONS 5.

And I may say that I have been really particular in my selection. Now, I might tell here how I came to select Mrs. James S. Watts to give to the florists of Baltimore, and the coun- try as well, the opinion of a person not in the trade on whether or not flowers are a luxury. Yard Filled with Roses. On several occasions this spring I saw great bunches of all the best va- rieties of roses that came from her yard. When I met her I let her know that I was interested in flowers, espe- cially roses, and she gave me an invi- tation to come out and see the yard she was so proud of. When I got out on Maryland avenue I found her house about midway in the block. It has a nicely furnished front porch and the thing that attracted my attention was a large vase filled with roses and at- tached to one of the columns. As we went through to the yard, in every room except the kitchen was a vase of roses; and the yard contains nothing but roses, about seventy-five or 100 of them. She went from plant to plant and told me its name, as if it were a member of her family she was talking about. It was not hard to see why her rose garden was such a suc- cess, for with her it was a labor of love. In this block there are twelve or tliirteen houses with no fences between and each yard but one a duplicate of the other. The one exception is owned by a man who believes in economy. This summer he has removed every flower from his yard and planted it in potatoes. This yard adjoins that of Mrs. Watts and a better object lesson would be hard to find. The thought struck me that I could find no one better able to give an opinion on the subject of this article, and so I put the question to her direct: "Mrs. Watts," I asked, "do you think flowers are a luxury; that dur- ing the war, if times get hard and money scarce, people will do without them?"

In March the British Board of Trade prohibited anyone in England mailing a catalogue except in reply to a direct request. The seed trade protested ve- hemently. Notice now is given: "The Royal Commission on Pai)er will permit the distribution of seedsmen's cata- logues during the present year, on con- dition tliat not more than fifty per cent, whetlier in number or in weight, of the catalogues distributed in the year ]914 sliall be sent out, and that the catalogues shall refer to food products only. ' ' According to A. II. Smith, of the Leonard Seed Co., Cliicago, the onion sot crop is about three weeks late in growth because of the backward season. Sets are only standing three to four inches high at the present time, whereas they should be about eight to ten inches. Yet the cool, moist weather has caused them to make good roots and the stands are good and even, although there are a few sections which show some indications of maggots. Most fields are, however, look- ing satisfactory, and with favorable weather from now on should make good crops. It is entirely a weather proposi- tion now. Frank W. Bolgiano. (President of the American Seed Trade Association.) A marked scarcity is developing in cabbage seed. Some of the larger seed houses are reporting heavy sales for sum- mer and fall planting and prospects are for higher prices. Heavy storms through central and northern Michigan are reported to have (lone considerable damage to the radish fields in some sections. Tlie crop is back- ward at the best. There is every indication that Ameri- can growers of pansy seeds will have a fine season. Tliere is said to be a good crop, hut no last year's stock and no prospect of imports of consequence. John C. Leonard, of the Leonard Seed Co., CUiicago, has returned from a trip to Colunihus, Wis., where he was looking over some of the company's crops. He reports good stands, but too much rain. Wlsconsin pea fields are in good con- dition at the present time, due to the cool, moist weather and rain. Vines are just beginning to bloom and look strong and healthy, but there is so much moisture in the plants that it is thought by some that if it should turn hot suddenly the plants might scald and a great deal of damage be done. With reasonably cool weather, however, for the next ten days or two weeks, there should be a good crop in Wisconsin for canning. Seed peas will have to mature and dry down and so run greater chances of damage than the same varieties which are pulled tor can- ning purposes. THE DETROIT CONVENTION.

By unanimous vote the resolution recommended by President White, with a slight cliange, was adopted as fol- lows: At the thirty-fifth annual convention of the American Seed Trade Association it was unan- imously RESOLVED: That the President of the United States and the Secretary of AKriculture be tendered the support of this association in all reasonable measures designed to prosecute the war witli tlie utmost vigor. And be it RESOLVED: That we count ourselves fortu- nate to be able to do our full share in sopplyinR men and money, but our greatest service may well be in maintaining under extraordinary strain the machinery of producing and the dis- tributing of seeds without which agriculture must fail. And be it further RESOLVED: That because we realize in some measure the magnitude of the task to which our country is committed, we are the more earnest in pledging to it our entire resources. In order to do the trade justice and to forestall ill-advised action in local seed campaigns, the following recom- mendations were presented by L. L. Olds and adopted: RESOLVED: That a special committee be ap- pointed with the following duties: First, to keep in touch so far as jwssible witli the activi- ties of any special war councils and to promote l)y necessary publicity tlie use of tlie establislied channels of seed distribution; second, to do everything i)ossil)le to encourage seedsmen to perfect and improve their business to more fully meet the present emergency. The Seed Marketing Bureau. W. A. Wliceler, former seedsman, now specialist in cliarge of seed marketing investigations, Office of Markets, U. S. Department of Agriculture, explained the pur])ose and scope of the Bureau of Markets, which is a comparatively new departure in government activities. Mr. Wheeler stated that it is not the pur- pose of tlie department to do anything to upset the present channels of legiti- mate seed dealing insofar as such are economical and efficient. Field studies have been begun in the marketing of grass and clover seeds at country ]>oints and it is lioj)ed tliat these may be con- tinued this summer, so that tlie results may becoTue available for publication in the near future. "It is ])laniicd to inaugurate witliin the bureau," said Mr. Wlieeler, "a grain, seed and hay marketing re])ort- ing service for reporting to those interested tlie commercial movement of the various kinds of grains, seeds and hay.

The Florists' Review 57 Pansies for Profit Tliere Is an enormous demand for pansy plants, as you know. Good pansies bring a profitable price and it is profit you are in business for. To firrow good pansies you must first liave good seed; seed from a carefully selected Strain such as you can buy of Toole & Sou. Then of course you must grow them carefully. .. ^ Our part Is to furnish a carefully selected strain of pansy seed, strong in germination, which we do. Your part is to grow them carefully, and fully as important ask a price for them that will leave you a profit. William Toole & Son are pioneers In the raising ol pansy seed In America. Thlrty-flve years' experience In selecting, breeding, studying and growing pansy seed and plants especially to suit the wants of American people, have resulted In our superior, strain of pansy seed. Our aim Is to grow the kind of seeds we would like to buy ourselves. Our endeavor Is to combine a wide range of bright and pleasing colors with large size flowers, heavy substance of petals, together with an attractive round flower, many of which are ruffled and lightly fringed. TOOLE'S GIANT PRIZE STRAIN This strain contains the best pansies we know how to pro- duce. Besides colors and shades of our own selection It con- tains such novelties and varieties from other growers as we have found worth while after careful trials. It will produce flowers of large size, splendid form and sub- stance and In the widest range of shades and colors Packet 20c.; trade packet of 1,000 seeds, 40c.; i^-oz.. 90c.; 14-oz.l $1.25 ; 1 oz., $6. t COLOR MIXTURES 10.

He is best known to the trade for the part he took in the fight on the first Mann pure seed bill. But for his prompt action it is likely that the bill would have been reported for the third reading in the House. Mr. Bolgiano has been a member of the American Seed Trade Association since 1894 and has been a hard worker, always putting the interests of the asso- ciation above all others. His local in- terests are large and varied, he being a director in three banks*.

He has just broken ground for a warehouse 50x150 feet. 58 The Florists^ Review June 28, 1917. Mr. Bolgiano is married and has a sou, Cliarles W. Bolgiano, whom he is educating at Cornell University with a view to his entering the seed business. The boy makes annual trips to the grow- ing points of the west to become famil- iar with the various kinds of vegetables, the seeds of which he expects to handle when he enters the business. In 1914 Mr. Bolgiano organized his business into a corporation under the name of F. W. Bolgiano & Co., Inc. MOTT-LY GLEANINGS. "Kemember that the eyes of the potato are upon you," quotes one. ' ' Yes, and remember also that the eyes of the bug are upon the potato," adds another. "Further, the eyes of the gardener will be upon the seedsman more closely than ever, henceforth," ob- served David Eddy,, of Eddy & Sons, Saratoga Springs, N. Y. " Those who retail seeds must be veritable encyclo- pedias of agricultural information," he continued. "We compiled a descriptiva and attractive booklet entitled 'Do Your Part.' Our leading bank handed out more than 5,000 and, needless to say, it was mutually beneficial." Baker Bros., of Eutland, Vt., report a good, but backward, seed season. The seed store of Graham Bros., on Sparks street, Ottawa, Ont., has burst into flame, so to speak, for it was but a few years back that the business was conducted in a comparatively insig- nificant way, though it filled all re- quirements at that time. The present biHlding is in keeping with the rapid march of healthy progress noted on all sides. Excellent demand is reported, with the season fully four weeks late. W. M.

I ^^^^^1 Eureka, Oal. — G. Vanden Abeele has been appointed superintendent of the Cottage Gardens Nurseries, succeeding K. Nyeland, who resigned recently. Santa Cruz, Cal. — R. A. Lounsbury, whose place is on rural route No. 2, states that ill health is causing him to discontinue business as a freesia bulb grower. Pomona, Cal — A. W. Pooley reports considerable damage to stock from the heat, even gladioli suffering severely. He says that business is keeping up well. At the Pomona Floral & Nursery Co. store Mr. Zimmer says that the seed business is especially good. Riverside, CaL — The Orange Blossom Shop is prettily arranged, and its loca- tion just opposite the famous Mission Inn is good. Mr. St. John reports a good business for this time of year, though, of course, not what it is during the tourist season. Miss Hosp's large store was delightfully cool after the heat of the streets. She is well satisfied with business. Oscar Paiseman, for- merly with Wolfskins' & Morris Gold- enson, of Los ,Angeles, is now with Miss Hosp. liOS ANGELES, CAL. Tlie Market. During the last week market condi- tions have been peculiar. Certain flow- ers, such as gladioli, which did not suf- fer much from the heat wave, have been extremely plentiful, while sweet peas, carnations and practically everything else from outdoors have been scarce. There alfeo has been a scarcity of good indoor-grown carnations, and the local roses have dropped off badly, both as to quality and quantity. The roses are poorer now than for a long time. Stock shipped in from the north is better than that locally grown, but even this is not up to the usual standard. Good asters now are arriving, the Daybreak shade of pink being especially attractive. This color serves splendidly in funeral work in conjunction with Gladiolus America, Business has been brisk, considering the heat and other disadvantages. Many weddings and considerable funeral work have helped out. Transient trade is poor, as it usually is at this time of year, when everyone with a small gar- den provides his or her friends with bouquets free. Greens and plants are not too plentiful, but the demand is not great, except for special occasions. On account of the high price of lumber, all the wholesalers have decided to charge for their shipping boxes. This condition may be changed later, but at present the added charge seems inevit- able. For a long time wholesalers have tried to avoid this, but something had to be done to prevent losses on small shipments. Various Notes^ At a sale under a trust deed, J. Diete- rich has taken over the business, land and greenhouses at Montebello, until recently held by H. W. Turner and for- merly operated by Dieterich & Turner. For the present Mr. Dieterich will con- duct the plant himself, presumably along the same lines as did Mr. Turner. Mr. Turner as yet has not given out any information as to his future activi- ties. Those who have followed the his- tory of this establishment will remem- ber that formerly Mr. Dieterich and Mr. Turner were in partnership and built a fine range of houses for grow- ing roses and other cut flowers. Later the entire range was given over to roses and operated in connection with a nursery. When the two dissolved partnership Mr. Turner took over the greenhouse end and Mr. Dieterich the nursery. J. RoUeri, of the California Cut Flower Co., says that business is stead- ily improving in the store on West Sev- enth street. The store is in line for all the business that will naturally follow the removal of so many big department stores, to Seventh street. K. and T. Domoto, of San Francisco, have been in town for a few days on a visit. The L. A. Floral Co. reports shipping business as good for the season, though the scarcity of field stock makes it dif- ficult to fill some orders. R. Armstrong, late of Sacramento and long known in horticultural circles in this city, was a visitor last week. Mr. Armstrong is now located in Santa Bar- bara. S. Murata & Co. report business bet- ter since the hot spell, the heat having the eifect of shortening some of the cheaper stocks and leaving the way clear for the better grades. The postponed hearing of the case between Alois P. Frey, of Crown Point, Ind., and Gebhart Prechtel, of Monte- bello, came up before Judge Fleming June 19. After hearing the evidence on both sides, the court instructed coun- sel to prepare briefs and submit them for judgment, the decision to be given after fifteen days. This, it will be re- membered, is the case in which an in- junction was secured by Mr. Frey to prevent Mr. Prechtel from selling, or otherwise disposing of, freesia bulbs growing on the grounds of the latter. A great deal of interest is taken in the case locally. The Santa Cruz Evergreen Co. re- ports a large demand for greens, espe- cially huckleberry. Among our lady visitors this week are Mrs. A. Weedall, of Bakersfield, and GLADIOLUS SPIKES 80 sorts, including Pendleton, Niagara. Panama, Golden King, Glory.

Mrs. Francis, of the Theodosia B. Shep- herd Co., of Ventura. H. E. Eichards. SPOKANE, WASH. The Market. Business holds up remarkably well and to date has shown few signs of the usual slump that accompanies the sum- mer months. There have been many weddings and other society functions calling for more or less elaborate decora- tions, all of which are especially wel- come at this season. Funeral work has been a telling factor. Stock is plentiful and good. Outdoor sweet peas have made their appearance, but it will be another two weeks be- fore the good Spencers arrive. Until then florists will rely on the greenhouse- grown stock, which Spokane growers seem to grow to perfection. An unusual condition prevails in that, as late as June 21, peonies have only been in the market a few days and there still are available such flowers as snowballs, lilacs and spiraeas. Various Notes. At the Hoyt Bros. Co. greenhouses Killaniev is being replaced by Ophelia. Killarney will no longer be grown at tliis range, as Ophelia is setting a pace too fast for the older variety. A large ])lanting of Baby Doll and Bon Silene is being made. The Spokane Greeiihonsn Co. reports tlie season's business to liave been a record-breaker, the late planting en- abling the company to clean up on nearly all short lines. Bernson &; Halle and II. L. Olssou are running a friendly race as to who can ])roduce the better sweet peas. To date honors are about even, with tlie retailers completely satisfied. Claude Matson, formerly decorator for the Davenport hotel and later with the Hollywood Gardens, at Seattle, has accepted a position witli Adolpli Donart, succeeding E.

The executive committee of the Pa- cific ('oast Association of Nurserymen has announced tlie program for the con- vention, which will be held at Tacoma, Wash., the second week in .July. Some of the subjects to be discussed are: "A Landscajie Department in the Nurser- ies," "Laws Governing Street and 66 The Floiysts^ Review Jink 28, 1917. Wayside Plantings," "Grades, Terms and Prices," and "Packing Stand- ards." The educational subjects in- clude "Rose Propagation," "Coast- grown Seedlings, " "Selling Methods," "Pear Bliglit" and "Insiiection Prob- lems. ' ' At the close of the convention it is ])roi)osed to make an excursion to Para- dise valley in Mount Rainier National jiark. The executive committee urges that every active nurseryman on the Pacific coast attend the convention. Arrangements have been made with Ta- coma hotels to accommodate the visitors and reasonable rates have been prom- ised. C. A. Tonneson, Burton, Wash., is the secretary of the association. Various Notes. The retail branch of the trade was ])usy last week with social work. The Fransioli coming-out party at the Coun- try Club was followed by a similar af- fair for another debutante. Hundreds of baskets, bouquets and boxes were or- dered for these two affairs. The busi- ness was divided among all the stores. There also was an unusual demand for wedding bouquets, while funeral work, although not the feature of the week, was heavy. The Tacoma Rose Society announced June 29 and .'{() as the dates for its show, and the gardens were being kept in good condition for the event. The Tacoma show has earned a reputation through- out the nortliwest and many visitors were expected. Many patriotic displays were planned and the proceeds will be given to the Red Cross, B. G. PORTLAND, ORE. The parade of the rose festival was a success, but it fell short of the stand- ard of last year, for the reason that many of the roses failed to bloom. Del- phiniums, foxgloves, ])oppies, carnations and irises saw service in lieu of the roses. Max Smith cai)tured the grand prize with his decorated car. Mr. Smith had the American eagle done in red and white carnations and mounted on the hood of the car. The windshield was backed with delphiniums and the re- mainder of the car was a mass of lilies and snowballs. Clarke Bros, decorated the school float that won the prize in that section. Many of the other florists competed in the jiarade, but the number of floats decorated by tradesmen were few compared with those of last year. At the close of the festival the florists had one day, June 16, on which to dis- pose of tlie ])lants used in the festival center. The ])ublic failed to turn out as in other years and only one-third of the stock was sold, with the returns meager. At the montlily meeting of the Port- land Floral Society June 18 the follow- ing officers were elected for the ensuing year; President, E. J. Steele; vice- president, (iuy Pilkington; secretary, H. Niklas; treasurer, R. E. Gehr; trus- tees, L. W. Scott, Julius Dossche, A. J. Clarke. It was reported that the beds at the Gresliam fair grounds were ready to be apportioned to florists who desired them. They are to be planted by July 1.5 and will be paid for at the rate of 10 cents ])er square foot. J. Walents was elected a member. L. I. Milot, of Wenatchee, Wash., and Professor Peck, of Corvallis, Ore., were welcome visitors at the meeting. E. T. Mische gave an interesting talk on the wholesale produc- FISCHER'S SPLENDENS A Magnificent Lavender Treesia The only commercial colored Free- sia in the world, not to be compared or judged in the same class with any other colored Freesia. It stands alone for size, strength, oeauty and fragrance. The flowers are very large, with long, heavy stems with foliage reaching well up the stems, and are highly fragrant. It is a Freesia that will stand the test of time and will be grown by all florists when stock can be offered at commercial prices. Was awarded a Certificate of Merit at the Pasa- dena Flower Show. Stock is limited; send in your orders as soon as possible. Is offered in two shnd»s of color, a bluish lavender and a reddish lavender. Only good sized, flowering bulbs are offered.

Last week the numerous school gradua- tions had everybody occupied, but it seems that the prices of the bouquets in many cases did not leave mucli for the till. W. G. W. SAN FRANCISCO. The Market. Althougli business seems to be well up to normal for this time of the year, the market is not in a liealthful condi- tion. More llowers are being brought in daily than can be absorbed without sacrificing a large i)ercentage of them. As is bound to be the case under the circumstances, the street venders are reaping their harvest, if they ever have such. The warm weather of the last week has not been an aid; in fact, the sudden rise in temperature is held large- ly responsible for the excessive supply of flowers and the inevitable low prices. The quality of the offerings has suf- fered considerably. However, if other conditions were favorable, there woidd be little comi)laint on tliis score. When all angles are considered, the market is no worse than could be expected under the pressure of such heavy receipts. While the supply is more than ample, taken as a whole, there are a few items for which exceptions must be made, principally orchids, valley and good American Beauty rjses.

Good snapdragons may be had at $1 for six dozen. Contrary to behavior of other flowers this year, dahlias are making their ap- pearance early. Fine blooms of Delice have been seen; also good flowers of Minnie Burgle.

LiGE Eayl, for many years a prominent nurseryman of Hutchinson, Kan., and a leacier in state politics, died recently following an operation for appendicitis. Harlan P. Kelsey has been absent from his office at Salem, Mass., since early in June, having been called by the government in connection with the mili- tary cantonments being erected in vari- ous parts of the country. "When last heard from he was at Louisville, Ky., and did not expect to be able to reach Philadelphia for the A. A. N. conven- tion. A. A. N. IN ANNUAL SESSION. Meeting This Week at Philadelphia. The American Association of Nursery- men was organized in 1876. It has met at Boston, Mass., at Dallas, Tex., at Portland, Ore., and at many points be- tween, but this week it is paying itg first visit to Philadelphia. It has taken a long time to get around, and it does not appear to have helped the attend- ance, as the opening day found only about 200 persons on hand, which is con- siderably less than had been expected. Spring business has not been up to tlie mark and ])ractically every member is trying to get a line on the future, on the ])robabilities in the matter of de- mand and the course the trade at large will take to meet the situation. Al- though the framers of the program ig- nored the fact that tlie United States has gone to war, the war and its bear- ing on tlie nursery trade constitutes the principal subject for conversation out- side tlie meeting room. The report is general tliat tlie war caused the post- ponement of many large landscaping undertakings and that the hurrah for (juick increase in food production caused neglect of fruit tree planting. Two Years of High Dues, This meeting came at the end of the second year's trial of the new ])lan of organization under which dues are as- sessed according to the size of the mem- bers' business and the talk alioiit tlie liotel indicates a disjxisition to consider the results of tlie cliange. It apj)ears that the length of the nu'iii])ership roll has not been a])])recial)ly affected by the increased cost of membership and the necessity for making a statement of the api)roximate size of one's turnover. The receijits from dues have increased to a less extent than many expected, in view of the fact that all members doing above $100,000 per year contribute $50 a year additional to tlie fund and all doing over $.")0,00(i ])ay $L\") additional. Of course the failure to realize the full expectation of revenue has retarded the develojiment of tiie new activities. The association has ambitious plans, and on certain ones not requiring much money excellent progress has been made, but where considerable funds are required not much more tlian progress could be reported. The committees, as hereto- fore, have, done much public-spirited work without compensation. An Early Start. Although the opening of the conven- tion was not progi'amed before June 27, the work actually began bright and early in the morning of June 25, for which hour a special meeting of the executive committee had been called with the request that members of the advisory board and chairmen of all standing committees be present. Dur- ing that day and the next several of the committees held the only meeting it has been possible for them to have during the year, for the discussion and approval of reports prepared by the chairmen. As usual, the first business session of the convention, called to order about 10 a. m. June 27, was devoted wholly to routine matters, beginning with short welcome by James E. Cattell, represent- ing the city government. After reports by the secretary and treasurer a number of committees reported, the followdng being called: Hail Insuruncp, Frank A. Weber, cliairniaii. Nursery, Mo. Nomenclature. J. Horace McFarland, chair- man, Harrisburg, I'a. Standardization, Hurlan P. Kelsey, cliairman, Salem, Mass. Landscape. W. H. Wynian, chairman, North Abington, Mass. Publicity, F. L. Atkins, cliairman, Ruther- ford, N. J. Telegrapliic Code, R. C. Chase, chairman. Chase, Ala. Transportation, Cliarles M. Sizemore, chair- man, Waxaliacliie, Tex. The hail insurance committee is ne- gotiating with a mutual cyclone and hail insurance association to take care of the trade. Beports of other committees, with the report of the counsel, were reserved for the executive session in the after- noon, when the following were called: I.CKisIation, William I'itkin, chairman. Roches- ter, .\. V. Arbitration, M'. C. Reed, chairman. Viiicennes, Ind. Distribution, M. R. Casliman, (liuirman, Owa- tonna, Minn. Tariff, Irving Rouse, chairman. Rocliester, N. Y.

In the last year under the old plan, with dues at $5 per year regardless of the size of the members' business, the receipts were $3,151.90. How to Make It Pay. At the executive meeting June 27 J. H. Dayton, of Painesville, O., discussed the all-important topic, ' ' How to Make the Nursery Business Feed and Clothe Us and Pay Our Debts." He showed up the trade's weak points and con- cluded with the following advice: First. Cut all unnecessary expense, but do not figure so close on help tliat stock will suf- fer or your blocks produce second or tliird grades which should be first. Second. Fix a fair price, so that if the stock sells it will give a profit, ^lIowing for increased cost of both growing and* selling. Third. Stick to your prices. Fourth. Do not figure tliat because everybody else is hard up and will decrease tlieir plantings, .vou will keep yours up or increase. Make your planting list correspond witli tlie demand for your products. Fifth. If the first war year proves to be a blighter on our business, borrow a little more and pull through; better years are bound to come. Sixth. Keep your chin up, your feet on tlie ground, your faith in God and the United States at white heat, your faith in the nursery out- come still hotter, and know tliat tlie Ixird helps those who help themselves, that 500 nurserymen working together, each willing to give the "otlier 499 members and everyone of their customers an absolutely sijuare deal, and we will be as near sure to succeed as anything subject to liuman control can be in this world. The Dinner. The association has tried two or three new things this year. In the first place, the selection of Philadelphia for the meeting was uninvited and the usual local hospitalities were ordered omitted. It was planned as a strictly business convention, but in response to many re- quests a dinner was arranged for Wednesday evening, each member pay- ing for his own ticket. Robert Pyle, of Conard & Jones Co., was jilaced in charge of the arrangements, with W. F. Therkildson, of Burjiee & Co., handling the entertainment stunts that proceeded coincidentally with the rejiast. It seems certain the dinner will become an an- nual feature of the convention. The ladies were entertained by an automobile trip while the executive ses- sion was held June 27. Papers and Addresses. That a departure from custom in the preparation of the program is desirable was apparent from the remarks of those on tiie program for ''addresses." With few exceptions they liad not jirepared themselves; some had been "too busy," while such a reliable inscriber as J. Horace McFarland said: "I am not go- ing to present any jiaper if I can get out of it. If I can start some kind of a discussion which will make the nursery- men sit up and take notice of their needs, that will be the right thing." The announced program for the clos- ing days is as follows: TIHRSDAY. .TCNE 2.S. 9;.S0 A. M. 9:.30 to 11 a. m., discussion. "Nurserymen's Publicity," led by J.

Another week of cool, cloudy weath^l- helped to keep stock in good condition. June 23 brought one of the worst rain storms of years. Basements were flood- ed and the railroad service was tied up long enough to cause some of the ex- press companies to put a temporary em- bargo on perishable stock. This, of course, delayed some shipments and caused inconvenience. Peonies suffered somewhat and the wet ground retarded the cutting to a great degree. Roses are in good supply and their quality is fine. There is no surplus, as the demand takes up the entire cut, and in red roses some shortage is felt. "Whites seem to be most plentiful, but even these are moving nicely. Prices are not high, but there are no bargain sales. Carnations remain plentiful and in good condition. The prices are down, but the demand keeps the large cut from accumulating. Sweet peas are still witli us, and wliile the last of the vrop will materialize with the first warm, })riglit days, the cut keeps this stock in tlie foreground. Quantities of peas are being disposed of daily. There are more than enough Easter lilies in the market to meet the demand, which is light at this time. The supply of valley shows some increase, but the demand maintains a continued shortage, and i)rices remain good. There is prac- tically no outdoor valley in this vicinity. Tiie su])ply of cattleyas is about equal to the demand and the quality is excep- tionally fine. ComnuMicements during tlie last week kei)t tlic general business up to stand- ard, but school graduations now are practically over, and perhaps the trade may expect a quiet spell. Various Notes. J.

As I am about to install a new boiler for my greenhouses, I should like to have your advice on the matter. My two greenhouses run nortli and south. They are connected and each measures 12x30. They are about six feet high to the eaves and nine feet to the ridge, with two feet of glass in the east side. The north end and east side of the houses are exposed. The west side is protected by a pottihi^ shed, which is connected to the greenhouses. At present I have a small boiler, lo- cated at the south end of the green- houses. Though I put in the piping ac- cording to an expert's directions, it does not work well. My intention is that the new boiler shall be large enough to take care of the present houses and four or five others which I may add soon. I have made a con- crete pit at the north end of the potting room and intend to place the. new boiler there. I have a lot of 1-inch pipe which I should like to use if possible, and I also have some l^/l>-inch pipe. Please tell me just how to pipe my houses and what size of boiler to buy. The temper- ature in the houses is to be 60 degrees when the outside tem])erature is 15 de- grees above zero. That is about as cold as the winters generallv get here. ' S. S.— La. Had the letter described the present method of j»iping and stated tlie num- ber of feet of each size of pipe availa- ble for use, we should have been able to offer more definite suggestions and to plan for the use of the pipe on hand to l)etter advantage. Wliile we would prefer to use in each liouse one 2i/2-inch overhead main, carrying it about eighteen inches below the ridge, it will answer, if two 2-inch flow pi])es are substi- tuted. Tliese should be on tlie wall plates. For the coils we suggest the jiutting in of seven P/o-inch returns, liliuing four on the east wall or under the side bench, and three on the other side of the house. In case the coils are well above the to]) of tlie boiler, it will be possible to substitute 1-inch pipes in the coils, using three 1-inch in place of two 114-inch pipes. Give the flow, as well as the return pipes, a slight fall, and connect the highest point in tlie flow witli the expansion tank. In locating the coils, especially if the to]) of the boiler is not below the level of the floor, THE REWARD OF MERIT ^\ i"'-':'T- . '-^v^wsauif' ' : .;.

HEATED BY KROESCHELL BOILERS The Conservatories of the President of the United States and the U. S. Prop- agating Gardens are located opposite the Washington monument at Washing- ton, D. C. Over forty greenhouses are devoted to the growing of cut flowers, orchids, stove plants, tropical and decorative stock, and all bedding and ornamental plants for the U. S. Government buildings and grounds at Washington. A No. 11 KROESCHELL BOILER was installed in 1906 for the high temperature houses. This boiler replaced a number of other makes and made a remarkable record for fuel economy. UNCLE SAM'S IRON FRAME RANGE ERECTED IN 1910 IS HEATED BY KROESCHELL BOILERS. The Plant Introduction Garden of the United States Department of Agriculture at Chico, Cal., is heated by No. 2 Kroeschell Boiler and Generator System. In 1912 two No. 5 KROESCHELL BOILERS were installed for the new range of the U. S. Department of Agriculture, at Garret Park, ]\Id. The U. S. Government's new establishment, the Northern Great Plains Field Station, at Mandan, N. D., ordered a No. 7 KROESCHELL BOILER for the new greenhouse range erected in 1913.

The Florists^ Review 77 THE NEW BURNHAN A Tubular Boiler Made in Our Factory at Geneva, N.Y. For Steam or Hot Water Either High or Low Pressure. WE say it is new, but it's really in many particulars close to twelve years old. Over twelve years ago. Mr. Burnham started working out his first tubular boiler, designed especially for greenhouse heating. Over and over again since then, just as it seemed to the rest of us that at last we had a satisfactory boiler, Mr. Burnham would decide it was not yet worthy of Lord & Burnham's high standard. Finally, however, one was perfected that not only passed the critical criticisms of all our boiler making experts; but also fully met the exacting requirements of Mr. Burnham. So here it is. It's made for either steam or hot water. Either low or high pressure. The tubes are guaranteed to be real old- fashioned charcoal iron, which is the same iron from which the railway engine boiler tubes are made. No bricking in. Not even for the base. It has many points entirely different from any other tubular boiler. Points that mean much to you in saving money in setting-up expense. Saving money in fuel needed. Saving money in operation. Saving money in repairs. Whatever boiler you may be thinking of buy- ing, hold up a bit, until you have looked well into this one. Send for circular fully describing and illus- trating it. lor4>u]EWiihamioi. NEW YORK 42d Street Bldg, BOSTON Tremont Bldg. TORONTO Royal Bank Bldg.

For five houses having the same di- mensions as those described, a boiler rated for about 800 square feet of radiation sliould be used. This will mean one with about four square feet of grate. NEWARK, N. J. Business was quiet last week, al- though there were a good many belated bedding plaint sales. Prices of cut flow- ers, especially carnations, have dropped to low levels. F. A. Kuehn reports that he still has considerable cemetery work, but is handicapped by lack of help. Henry Hornecker, of East Orange, also says it is next to impossible to get help for his greenhouses, Howard Davis, of East Orange, says calls for bedding stock have been below normal this season. Ernest Eadany reports that business is quiet after a good season. E. B. M. INDIAN APOMS. The Market. A retrospect of the month's activities shows that June business has been most satisfactory. Bedding stock perhaps has been the most imi)ortant item; on account of the late season sales of bed- ding stock have been exceptionally heavy for June, and according to re- ports the growers are well cleaned up in this line, June, the month of wed- dings, brought a wealth of decorative work. In connection with the weddings were numerous prenuptial affairs, which accelerated tlie sale of corsage bouquets. Graduations also have helped to swell the total for the month. The telegraph business has improved, a condition brought about by the soldiers at Fort Benjamin Harrison, who do not forget the girls tliey left behind them. Coun- ter trade lias l)oen a])out normal and the usual quantity of funeral work has pre- vailed. Yes, June has been a profitable month for the florists. Tlie market continues short on roses and Easter lilies, but the demand never- theless has been well taken care of. Eoses bring from $3 to $10 per hundred and lilies from $1 to $1.50 per dozen. Warmer weather has caused the car- nations to deteriorate in quality. They are plentiful, but in little demand be- cause of their inferior grade. Gladioli have weakened and may be purchased at $.") and $0 ])er hundred, with the fancies making $8. Shasta daisies are in ])()])ular favor at $1..')0 and $2 per hundred. Delphiniums are the most pop- ular of the seasonable stock, making $4 to $n ])or hundred, although other outdoor stock, including coreopsis, Can- terbury bells, gaillardias, snajidragons and gypsoj)hilas, meets with a good sale. The green goods market is about nor- mal, with a little improvement notice- able in feni leaves. Various Notes. The State Florists' Association of Indiana lield a meeting Friday, June 22, to hear the report of the committee on cyclone insurance. The organization is rapidly taking form and in a short time the jilans and by-laws will be mailed to tlie trade.

Robert Newcomb, of the American Bulb Co., Chicago, was present as a guest. He also made a splendid showing. Luke Uzick has been engaged by the Art Floral Co. to manage its store on Powell street. He is well fitted to take up his new duties, as he was connected with this concern at one time and more recently has been with Joseph's, on Grant avenue. F. C. Jaeger & Son expected to open for business June 20, but the store at 152 Powell street was hardly read;y for occupancy, so the opening had to be postponed until the end of the week. Pelicano, Rossi & Co. report more fu- neral work for June than ever before, this class of business, contrary to the order of things, having exceeded wed- ding work in volume. Friends of A. J.

Tlie Bellevue Florists, or Miss Roths- child and Miss Bertha Cohn, are clos- ing at 1 o'clock Sundays during the summer months. Miss Eothsehild is planning a vacation in the Santa Cruz mountains. She is of the opinion that the large number of army people sta- tioned here is having its effect upon the florists' business, judging by the num- ber of uniformed men entering the store. She admits that many of them may have been customers before they enlisted, but says the majority of them seem to come from other sections of the country. At this establishment red, white and blue bouquets and novelties continue to sell well. Besides looking after his business in the St. Francis hotel, Julius Eppstein is devoting considerable time to land- scape work. Last week he spent two (lays down the peninsula, where he is laving out a large estate. Heretofore the rule in San Francisco lias been to employ males for the sales forces of the flower stores, but Mac- Rorie & McLaren now evidently intend to try women. They have added Miss Lily Houge and Mrs. Jenks to their pay roll, and it is understood that the voung women are taking hold nicely. MacRorie & McLaren have secured the services of Charles Clark, formerly with All)ert O. Stein and more recently with Mark Ebel, of Sacramento.
