Great corporation lieacl is
amazed at the skill & devotion
of Davey Tree Surgeons ^

Correspondence between W. W. Salmon, President of the General Railway Signal
Company, and M. L. Davey, General Manager of the Davey Organization —
a message of vital importance to every owner of trees. ^ J> J- J- ^ ^

\V. W. Salmon, President.

New York City, Sept. 29, 1916.
Mr. M. L. Davey, Davey Tree Expert Co., Kent, Ohio.
Dear Mr. Davey:

Enclosed herewith please find my check to your order for $1,081.33
in full for tree surgery on my property at Beechmont, New Rochelle.

In making this remittance permit me to express my appreciation
of the capable, interested service rendered by your organization.
Your New York Office as well as your "Westchester representative
and your foreman, have one and all given tiie most painstaking at-
tention to my needs, and I have been so much impressed with the
etticiency of your organization as I have come in contact with it,
that it would please me greatly if, when you can find time, you will
have the goodness to furnish me with an.v data at your command,
showing how you have built up and maintained it In euch a way as
to bring about the devotion and enterprise so evident in your rep-
resentatves whom it lias been my pleasure to meet.

Yours very truly, W. W. Salmon.

Kent, Ohio, Oct. 3, 1916.
W. W. Salmon, Esq., "Beechmont," New Rochelle, N. Y.
Dear Mr. Salmon:

Acknowledging your esteemed favor of Sept. 29th, I want to assure
you that such a voluntary expression of satisfaction is more than a
pleasure — it is an inspiration. The public as a whole has been very
gracious to us in return for our conscientious efforts to give Quality
First Tree Surgery and honest service.

I believe that most worthy things, especially along the line of
organization, are the result of evolution based upon a fundamental
policy. Our purpose from the beginning has been to give maximum
service, which means perfected metliods, high type men and an
organization ideal.

Perhaps the thing of first importance is the men — the men who
actually do the work. The people whom we serve are not particu-
larly interested in my theories or my knowledge or my ability.
They measure the Davey organization by the men whom they see,
and rightly so. Consequently, we have endeavored to get the right
kind of men.

"We go on the theory that "A leopard cannot change his spots."
If a man is dishonest, if he is lazy, if he is careless and indifferent,
if he lacks Intelligence, if he lacks the spirit of co-operation and
devotion to his work and his employers — if he lacks these funda-
mental things, no argument and no appeal and no inducement will
make him a good man. We. therefore, eliminate the poor ones as
fast as we find them, keeping only those who have In them the
qualities which have impressed you. The good ones we boost and
encourage and try to inspire as soon as we find that they are good.
We pay these good men well and pay them more as soon as they
prove they are worth more. The foreman who had charge of your
work will be given a raise immediately on the strength of your
letter. Is it not reasonable to suppose that he will strive still
harder to please every other client? Eve'ry man in the Davey or-
ganization knows that Iiis advancement depends upon his service
and upon no other thing.

■V\''hile we pay well we demand much in return. If a man falls
to live up to our high standard, we do not want him and will not
have him. If our service at any time falls below this high standard,
we let the offended go and make good to the client. Thus the process
of elimination leaves us the good men, those who are intelligent,
Industrious, honest and devoted to their work.

Our men are all trained in the Davey organization. "We take no
man's recommendation of himself. He must go through the mill and

show us. Every man Is responsible to us for his work and his con-
duct, which is the measure of his service. Thus the client gets
through us, the highest posslltie service — guaranteed service. We,
who know values in Tree Surgery, select the man who is to handle
your priceless trees and we stand back of it with the whole strength
of our organization and reputation.

"We have devoted ourselves unceasingly to the perfection of our
methods, with the result that our work is In reality practically per-
fect, both mechanically and scientifically. We maintain our own
school at a considerable -annual expense for the specific purpose of
training our men according to the Davey methods and Davey
standard.

Every year we have a Convention, when we bring all of our re-
sponsible men together, including foremen, special representatives,
officers, students and school faculty. We had our usual Convention
last March. We had more than sixty foremen in attendance. The
average length of their experience was about five years, with the
result that more than three hundt-ed years of actual experience was
concentrated, massed, on the problems of Tree Surgery. We had a
week's demonstration work, during which time we discussed every-
thing from the most important down to the seerrtingly trivial thlhgs.
Kve'r.vthing was put to the test of experience. We wanted no theories.
We demanded only the definite results of ripe experience. The result
is not only a constantly rising standard, but a very gratifying and
valuable uniformity of methods and policy.

We had with us during our last annual Convention, Dr. H. D.
House, New York State Botanist, who was formerly Professor In the
Biltmore Forestry School. We wanted him here so that he could
look us over. He expressed himself as amazed at the character of
our organization and said that he could now understand why we
had made a success of our work. Among other things he said,
"These men would do honor to any Institution of learning In Amer-
ica." A thing which greatly Impressed him was the fact that our
men, these fellows of broad, practical experience, were absolutely
unanimous on every vital point.

Then there is the question of organization spirit. Our men have
been made to feel that they are engaged in a great work — a work
which is altogether worthy of them and the be«t that is in them.
They have been made to realize that their future success is Insep-
arably interwoven with the future and the success of the Davey
organization. We have appealed to their self-interest, their desire
for success and for financial return. We have showTi them that there
is only one way for them to advance self-interest, and that Is to
give devoted service to their Company and Its clients. Without the
right kind of men such an appeal would be as wasted as a single
rain on a desert. With the right kind of men as we have, such an
appeal finds ready response, which grows and grows In beauty and
in practical utility.

You as a business man know the Inspiration which comes from
definite achievement, from approaching a fixed goal. I find mor*
satisfaction In this achievement than In the profit which comes from
it. I believe that a business Ideal Is a source of power and serves to
draw success as a magnet.

Ten years ago the Davey organization was only a mere handful,
doing a business of about ten or twelve thousand dollars per year.
Today we have an organization of about three hundred built along
the lines which I have Indicated. Our business this year will exceed
three hundred thousand dollars and I am ver.v glad to say it leaves
in its wake an almost general feeling of satisfaction such as you
have expressed.

Let me assure you that we very deeply appreciate the opportunity
of serving you and the honor of your full confidence and esteem.

Sincerely yours, THE DAVEY TREE EXPERT CO.

M. L. Davey, General Manager.

From Mr. Wm. M. Wood. Pres.

Mr. M. L. Davey,
General Manager,
The Davey Tree

Expert Co.,
Kent, Ohio.
Dear Mr. Davey:

Please accept
my sincere
thanks for your
most Illuminat-
ing letter of Oc-
tober 3rd.

Your story. In-
teresting In It-
self, is most ad-
m i r a b 1 y told,
though in its
telling it appears
to me that you
have failed to
mention the one
element without
which the "per-
fected methods,
high type men
and organization
ideal" would not
have come into
being. That un-
named element
I suspect to have
been Davey, who
first conceived
the Idea, then
determined the
methods and
later found and
inspired with
some part of his
own enthusiasm
the men who are
actually carrying
out the work.

Shortly after
receiving: your
letter I read it to
the department
heads of the
General Railway

ik^m

Fig. 1. — See the Iron band
around the trunk. The tree
was splitting apart and a "tree
patcher" tried to save it. Tem-
porarily it prevented a catas-
trophe, but the band was stran-
gling the bark. And the real
trouble, which was the decay
on the inside, had received no
attention whatever and the
condition was growing rapidly
worse.

Tig. 2. — Davey Tree Surgeons
got at the real trouble. They
first tied the branches to-
gether with ropes to prevent
accident while operating. The
decay was removed to the l^st
particle, the Inside of the cav-
ity was thoroughly sterilized
and waterproofed. The me-
chanical bracing employed
demonstrates the finished skill
and complete mastery of Davey
Tree Surgeons.

Figr. 3. — The filling of a
crotch cavity is probably the
most trying task confronted by
a Tree Surgeon. The filling is
subjected to tremendous
twisting and strain; it must
not only be held firmly in
place by the most expert me-
chanical bracing, but it must
also allow for the normal
sway of the tree. The sec-
tional filling method aids won-
derfully in this accomplish-
ment, but correct mechanical
bracing is ultra-important.

Signal Company,
wtiile at lunch-
eon, and the in-
teresting diacus-
sion that fol-
lowed led me to
show ttie letter
to some of my
business friends,
who are at the
head of compa-
nies employing a
grreat many men.
In each such In-
stance I have
been asked for a
copy of the let-
ter — in order
that the.r may
have their men
'read and proHt
by it.

"Will you have
the goodness to
write me at my
home address
whether I have
your consent to
make and send
out to my busi-
ness friends such
copies?
Sincerely yours,

W. W. Salmon.

'I'licy nica.surc the Davey oruanizal i.>ii by the men whom they see.
and ri!.;htly so. Consequently, We liax.- endeavored to yet tlte riijht

iid no apii. :il aii.l no imlueemeti t will

fast as \\f tind them, l^eepinu: only those who have in them the
i|iialities wliich ha\e impressed >on. The goo.l ones we boost aiol

industrious, honest and devoted to their work.

Onr men are all trained in the Davey orKanii^ation. AVe take no

\\\\o Know \alin>s in Tree Sur^^er.v, select the man who is to handle
.xuir itriceless trees and we stand hack of it with the whole strengrth
of onr orKani/ation and reputation.

AVe have' devoted ourselves unceasingly to the perfection of onr
methods, with the result that our work is in reality practically per-
fect, both mechanically and scicntilically. Wo maintain our own
school at a considerable anmial expense for the specific puriiose of
trainiiiK- our men according- to the Davey metliods and IJavey
standard.

lOvery year W(^ have a ronvention. when we brincr all of our re-
sponsible men together, imdudinf,' foremen, special r.preseii talives,
otlicers, students ami school faculty. We had our usual Convention
last .March. We had more than sixt.v foremen in attenilance. The
a\eraj{e length cd' their experience was aixnU five .v ears, with the
result that more than three hundred .vears (d' at'tual e\i>erienee was
concentrated, nuissed, on the problems of Tree Surjrery. W'c had a
week's denionslration woik, during which tini.' ^v.' .iiscussed every-
thin:^ Irom the most imiiorlant down to ihe si'.iii im^lv trivial thinKS.
Kve'r.vthinjT was put to the test of e.\perien«'e. We wanteil no theories.
We demanded onl.v the «lelinite results of ripe experience. The result
is not onl.v a constant l.v risinu: standard, hut a very jrratifyinjt and
valual)le uniformity of methods and policy.

We had with us durinpr our last annual Convention. Dr. II. D.
House, New Vork State Botanist, who was formerly Professor in the
Hiltmoro Forestry School. We wanted him here so that he could
look us over. He expressed himself as amazed at the eharai ter of
our on;ani/ation and said that he could now understand why we
had made a success of our work. AiiKwiy other things he said,
"Tlifse men would do lumor to any institution of learninpr in Amer-
ica." .\ thing which greatly impressed him was the fact that our
men. thesi! fellows of broad, i^ractical experience, were absolutely
unanimous on every vital point.

Then th<>re is the questicm of nrfrnniz.ntion spirit. Our men have
been nuide to feel that they are enK:>Ked in a Kreat work — a work
which is altoicether worth.\' of them an<l the best Ihiit is in them.
They liavo been made to realize that their future success is insep-
arably interwoven with the future and the success of the Davey
organization. AX'e have appealed to their sell-interest, their desire
for sucetss and for financial return. We have shown llieni that there
is only one way for them to advance self-interest, and that is to
Ktyr devoted s<'rvice lo their f'ompan.v and its clients. Without the
right kind ol men smh an ai>peal would be as wasted as a single
rain on a desert. With the right kind of nten as we have, sui h an
appeal finds ready response, which grows ami grows in beauty and
in practical utility.

Ton as a business man know the inspiration which comes from
definite achievement, from approaching a lixed goal. I lin.l more
satlsfacticm in this achievement than in the profit which comes from
it. I believe that a business ideal is a source of power and serves to
draw success as a mairiiet.

Ten \'ars ago the D.avey organization was only a mere handful,
doing a business of about ten or twelve thousand dollars per year.
Today we have an organization of about thni- hun.lred built alonff
till' lines which 1 ha\.' iniiicate<l. Our business this y«'ar will exceed
three hundred thousand dollars and I am ver> Khid to say it leaves
in its wake an almost general feeling of satisfaction such as you
hiiv e expressed.

l-et me assure you that we very df-eply appreci.ate the opportunity
of serving you and the honor of your full confidence and esteem.

Sincerely yours, THK DAVEY TREE lOXI'ERT < 'O.

COAL PRICES FIXED ie
M BUT NOT REDUCED

Last week's widely advertised fixing of coal prices, by mine operators in
conference with the government, sets figures at exactly what responsible florists
have been paying on contracts made since April 1. But it may mean a saving to
many small buyers by informing them as to coal dealers' costs.

PEEATOES of bituminous
coal mines, in conference
with Secretary of the In-
terior Lane, the Federal
^ K & Trade Commission and the
^-^Jl ( committee on coal produc-
tion of the Council of Na-
tional Defense, June 28
tentatively agreed upon
maximum prices to be
cliarged for the output of the mines.
The price scale became effective July
1 and will continue until such time
as the government commissions have
investigated conditions with a view
to fixing tlie maximum charge during
the period of the war. Anthracite coal
mine operators made a similar agree-
ment.

Tlie result of the conference, in whicli
representatives of practically every mine
operator east of the Mississippi river
took part, was hailed by the daily news-
papers as meaning a reduction of from
$1 to $.j per ton in the price of coal to
the consumer.

Wliat It Means to Growers.

This may be true in regard to the
domestic consumer, but what effect will
the action liave upon tlie i)rice to flo-
rists?

For the large grow-
er, who contracts for
his fuel supjdy, tlie
agreement will have
practically no ef-
fect.

For the small grow-
er, who buys in the
open market as liis
needs recpiire, the
agreement will proba-
bly mean lower prices
than would otherwise
have been demanded
but for the fixing of
maximum prices.

CJrowors who use
large quantities of fuel
already liave contract-
ed for their next sea-
son's su[)ply; and, it
develops, the contract
price is the same as the
maximum price now
agreed on by the opera-
tors and the govern-
ment— it is no reduc-
• tion at all. However,
the fixjing of maximum
prices will remove the

To be announced later.

prices would have had upon some deal-
ers to default upon their contracts
and sell their supply in the open mar-
ket.

Maximum prices are expected to do
away with ' ' premiums. ' ' That is, the
bonuses that some mine operators have
been receiving for their output when
the demand was greater than the supply.
"Premiums" in some cases have
boosted the price to almost double the
recognized mine mouth price. And the
extra cost has, of course, been paid by

the consumer who had not contracted
for his supply and who bought in the
open market.

There also was an attempt made by
the operators to fix the middlemen's
])rofit at 25 cents per ton, no matter
how many liands the coal pass-ed
tlirough before it reached tlie consumer.
How great effect their action will have
upon tlie wholesalers and retailers is a
question. But it will serve to put the
onus of high prices upon someone other
than the mine operator, who heretofore
has been generally blamed.

Maximum mine mouth prices on coal

The Florists^ Review

July 5, 1917.

ing that they will be required to pay
no more than the price fixed, but at the
same time will suffer the disappointment
of not being able to buy for less.

Now that the price has been fixed and
the question of cost settled, the grower
is interested in knowing whether or not
ho will be able to get an adequate sup-
ply.

While coal producers and dealers have
asserted that the extraordinary demand
was the reason for the high price of
fuel and that the inability of the rail-
roads and other carriers to transport it
from the mines to the points of con-
sumption was the reason for a short-
age, many of those who have paid the
bills and have had trouble getting coal
have been skeptical.

On this point the government officials
at Washington were told by one of the
coal men at the conference that if there
were ample car facilities, ' ' we could
cover this country with coal, and that
would fix the price."

Mine operators have had and are
having considerable difficulty with the
labor problem. Men willing to work
in coal mines have been and are scarce.
Before the war the ranks of the miners
were recruited from immigrants. The
beginning of hostilities shut off immi-
gration. Those already at work in the
mines were attracted from this employ-
ment by the better wages paid for un-
skiUed labor in other occupations.

Labor Mine Owners' Problem.

Mine operators have tried to meet
the situation by increasing wages.
Three times in nine months there have
been voluntary increases granted to the
miners. Apparently they have not been
great enough to hold the men, as there
is a shortage of labor in nearly every
field. In others there are strikes threat-
ened.

Wages in the West Virginia field have
been raised by the action of the United
States Steel Co., which owns twelve
mines there. The company, fat with
war profits, has been giving its em-
ployees some of the surplus by increas-
ing wages from time to time. Other
coal operators in the same field were
forced to do the same or lose their
miners.

But, with all these increases, there
have been continual desertions of the
mines by the men. It is expected, how-
ever, that the government will adopt
some method by which the mines will
be adequately supplied with labor. If
the mines are, the estimated possible
annual production of 600,000,000 tons
of bituminous coal will take care of
the needs of the country, and there will
be no shortage.

Following the announcement of the
action of the mine operators, coal deal-
ers declare that there were numerous
cancellations of orders that had been
placed by consumers. The attitude of
the latter is supposed to be that there
is no reason to buy coal in advance of
the time of need, as there will be no
difference between the price in July and
in October.

This action is liable to bring about a
fuel famine in the fall, the coal dealers
assert. They say that the maximum
mine production every week of every
month is necessary to produce the coal
the country needs. Cessation of demand
during the summer is going to make the

demand in the fall and winter months
just so much greater.

* ' Consumers expect that the coal
mines can produce in the first three or
four weeks of the fall their winter's
coal supply," said one man in close
toucli with the mining industry. "They
will be disappointed. Unless the con-
sumers keep on buying and storing coal
there will be a famine worse than last
winter. The demand during the sum-
mer has been equal to the supply and
there has been accumulated no reserve
stocks of coal. Consequently when the
increased demand comes there will be
no supply to meet it, except what is
daily produced by the mines.

Famine in Fall Predicted.

' ' There is every reason to believe
tliat should the mines be able to satisfy
the demand in the fall, there will not
be cars enough to transport the coal.
When the railroads begin to move the
crops, expected to be greater than ever
before, and the government requires
thousands of cars to transport troops

It was then predicted that the Inter-
state Commerce Commission would
grant the increase in freight rates asked
by the railroads. Since that time the
commission had the subject under con-
sideration and June 25 decided to allow
the railroads to charge 15 cents per
ton more in the district north of the
Ohio river and east of the Mississippi
river. The increase became effective
July 1. This automatically increases
the cost of coal to the consumer that
much.

The representative of one of the
largest mines in the Pocahontas field
of West Virginia was asked what he
considered a legitimate charge for Po-
cahontas coal delivered to the consumer
by a coal retailer. He asserted that
the cost at the mine, plus all transpor-
tation charges and $1.20 per ton for
wastage, handling and hauling and the
retailer's profit, is the basis upon which
the retail price is fixed.

Therefore the grower, now that the
price of coal at the mines has been
fixed, when he goes into the open mar-
ket for fuel can easily learn whether or
not the price the retailer asks him is
fair.

COAL PRICES EXORBITANT.

and war supplies to the Atlantic sea-
board, the mines are sure to be left
without an adequate number of cars.
Then the consumer who has waited until
the fall months to get his coal supply
will be disappointed."

Apparentl5^ there is nothing to be
gained by waiting to get the fuel sup-
ply. And should this analysis of the
coal situation now and in the immedi-
ate future be near the truth, there ap-
pears to be much that can be lost.

Chicago coal dealers, representatives
of mines, agree that the maximum price
fixing will have a beneficial effect upon
the coal situation. They declare that
it will be a protection to the legitimate
coal man and have a deterrent effect
upon the other type of dealer, the lat-
ter being blamed in many quarters as
the person responsible for the attacks
that have been made upon the business
as a whole. All retailers under the
new agreement will have paid the same
price for coal. Consequently they can
sell at the same price.

Freight Rate Increase Allowed.

In The Review of April 19, the fuel
situation at that time was discussed.

U. S. Will Not Accept Maximum.

When it was announced that maxi-
mum prices to be charged for coal at
the mines until such a time as the Fed-
eral Trade Commission had investigated
the cost of coal production had been
fixed, there was a belief prevalent that
the prices of coal had been reduced.
An analysis of the action of the coal
operators, however, disclosed that in-
stead of reducing the prices of various
kinds of coal, it had merely confirmed
the prices already in effect and which
florists theretofore had been required
to pay. In a few cases the belief that
the government had fixed the price stif-
fened the backbones of some coal deal-
ers, who had been willing up to that
time to sell coal at prices less than the
maximum fixed.

Members of President Wilson's cab-
inet quickly issued statements disclaim-
ing that the government had anything
to do with fixing the prices announced.
Secretary of War Baker, who by virtue
of his office is president of the Council
of National Defense, characterized the
action as a purely voluntary one on the
part of the coal operators. He said that
the government had made no attempt
and had no power to fix the price of
coal. In concluding his statement, Sec-
retary Baker said:

Baker Calls Prices Unjust.

"The Federal Trade Commission has
been directed by the President to as-
certain for his information the costs in-
volved in coal production. The infor-
mation which I have from that and
other sources, I think, justifies me in
believing that the price of $3 suggested,
or agreed on, as a maximum, is an exor-
bitant, unjust and oppressive price."

Secretary of the Navy Daniels took a
similar view of the situation. He said:

"I am from Missouri; I must be
shown. I am not going to pay any price
until we know what it costs to produce.
We are now making an investigation to
see what it costs to produce a ton of
coal. Were we to pay $4 at the mine,
it probably would cost $5 at the

ships. I have ordered them to furnish
the coal at a price to be fixed in the
future. ' '

Representing the Council of National
Defense in the conference with the coal
operators was the coal production com-
mittee of the council, of which Francis
S. Peabody, a Chicago coal dealer, is
chairman. It is now suggested, with-
out any attempt to impugn Mr. Pea-
body's motives, that a committee com-
posed of coal producers and dealers
is naturally in sympathy with the coal
trade and its members unconsciously
take the coal operators' viewpoint of
the situation. It would appear that it
would be fairer to the public if disin-
terested men were on the committee.

Until the Federal Trade Commission
has made its report there appears no
possibility of the government interfer-
ing with the prices fixed by the coal
operators. If the report comes as
quickly as most reports of such investi-
gations do, there will be no change in
the coal prices for several months, at
least.

In the meantime, growers will be re-
quired to pay the announced prices if
they want to buy coal.

COAL FREIGHT RATES GO UP.

The Interstate Commerce Commission
made a ruling June 25 whereby the
application for a suspension of the in-
crease in freight rates on coal was re-
fused. This action put into effect July
1 an increase of 15 cents per ton on coal
shipped from the bituminous fields of
West Virginia, Virginia, Pennsylvania,
Ohio and Kentucky to points north of
the Ohio river and east of the Missis-
sippi river.

The decision will increase the price
of Pocahontas and New River semi-bi-
tuminous, or so-called smokeless coal,
15 cents per ton to the grower. How-
ever, the all but prohibitive price the
producers are now charging for this
class of fuel has turned many consum-
ers in the trade to other fields for their
supplies.

The permission for an advance in
rates is based upon the showing made
before the commission by the railroads
that the increased cost of labor and sup-
plies makes the raise necessary.

HAIL AT OTTUMWA.

The heaviest hail ever known at Ot-
tumwa, la., fell June 27. It was not
thick, but it fell intermittently for a
quarter of an hour and in many places
pellets went through any glass it struck.
C. Kranz, who has 6.3,000 feet of green-
house exposure, suffered the breakage
of two-thirds of it, and in the houses the
plants which were struck by the ice and
glass were badly broken down. Mr.
Kranz says it was much the worst hail
he ever has seen and that it was a ven-
ture of great danger to go outdoors at
his place, while utterly impossible, to
stay in the greenhouses. He is reglaz-
ing.

HAIL AT CANTON, O.

Canton's heaviest hail storm in re-
cent years, accompanied by a minia-
ture cloudburst, June 24, did serious
damage to glass of greenhouses in the
west and northwest sections of the city.
About two-thirds of the 7,000 square
feet of glass operated by O. M. Vail
are said to have been demolished, and
many panes in the house of C. W. Vail

nearby also were broken. About 125
lights were broken in the house of
Charles Lindacher, on Tuscarawas
street, the storm in that vicinity not be-
ing severe. Other losses were suffered
by the Brown Floral Co. and Charles
F. Blane.

PLENTY OF SURPLUS STOCK.

In response to an appeal inserted in
The Review by our secretary, Mr. Am-
mann, of Edwardsville, I wish to say I

could have had ten times the stock I
generally use of mums and everything.
This to me shows that we florists are
close together and are willing to help
each other in a time of trouble. It also
shows that The Review is read by the
trade and is an excellent medium to get
in touch with each other.

Please publish this, and I extend my
thanks and best wishes to all for their
kind sympathy aiid help. I shall re-
build at once.

ODEN LETTER^-^-' KEADED6

"PLEASE OMIT FLOWERS."

I have scrutinized the columns of The
Review to find out what florists think
of the request frequently seen in pub-
lished death notices that flowers be
omitted at the funeral. I always have
wondered what are the actual reasons
for such requests, and of late I have
taken the pains to inquire. One woman
said she did not like the practice be-
cause it invariably obligated tlic family
to return favors to people whom they
did not care about. Another said she
did not favor the custom because it
was too expensive; also because it fre-
quently made the bereaved, in cases
where the decedent had not been well
known, feel badly when there were not
so many tributes to their dead as at
tlie burial of another. A woman who
had a ' ' please omit flowers ' ' notice said
that, despite the published reminder,
she had received many flowers. She in-
formed me that she placed the flowers
in the cellar at the time of her hus-

band's funeral, and that as the flowers
wilted upstairs she replaced them with
otliers from downstairs, the source of
supply not becoming exhausted until
two weeks after the burial. In this
case, and probably in many others, the
"please omit flowers" did a right-
about, and from all appearances
' ' omit ' ' may as well have read ' ' send. ' '

In many cases the replies to my in-
quiries along tliese lines have been
weak, evasive, with nothing to stand
on; but perhaps others in the trade who
have sounded the matter have other
views.

On several occasions I have heard
clergymen in their sermons over the
dead say something like this: "The
departed was a stranger to me, but from
the many beautiful floral tributes be-
fore me he must have been esteemed
and loved by many." Why should a
relative sock to prevent other relatives
or friends from paying their last re-
spects to the dead, by means of flowers?

take the coal operators' viewjjoint of
the situation. It would appear that it
woTild be fairer to the ])ul»lic if disin-
terested men were on tiie committee.

I'ntil the Federal Trade Commission
has made its report there a])pears no

operators. J f the icjiort comes as
quickly as most icjiorts of such invcsti-
j^ations do, there will i)e no change in
the coal ]irices for several montlis, at
least.

In the meantime, growers will be re-
quired to jiay the announced prices if
thev want to buv coal.

The Florists' Review

July 5, 1917.

THE ROCHESTER EXHIBITION.

Much Larger Tlian National Show.

The largest and most comprehensive
display of peonies in the United States
tliis year was held at Rochester, N. Y.,
June"^ 29 and 30. A large number of
single and semi-double varieties were
shown, as well as the doubles. Consid-
ering the intense heat, the blooms held
up well and even those which had been
shipped from a distance and kept in
cold storage for ten days were good.

Convention Hall annex was elabo-
rately decorated with fireproofed white
cheesecloth and greens. Indirect light-
ing was a great help in distinguishing
colors. Many exhibits also were placed
on the flag-decorated stage, in the main
auditorium. There was dancing and a
tea garden was under the direction of
the Lady Florists' 'Society. The show
was not so largely attended as it should
have been, but undoubtedly was edu-
cational to those who saw it.

The committees are to be highly con-
gratulated for the excellent arrange-
ment and display of the show. Edwin
P. Wilson was chairman of decorations
and staging and was ably helped by
many workers.

Out-of-Town Exhibits.

The Babcock Peony Gardens, of Sugar
Grove, Pa., had forty varieties of named
peonies, three to six in a vase. Mme.
Dusel and Gen. Custer were perhaps the
most conspicuous varieties.

B. H. Farr, of Wyomissing, Pa., had
an exhibit of fifty named varieties, six
to eight flowers in each vase. Mme.
Boulanger and La Perle were conspicu-
ous.

The Cottage Gardens Co., Queens, L.
I., showed forty-two varieties of named
peonies, eight to twelve in each vase.
These peonies were shipped to Rochester
about ten days ahead of the show and
put in cold storage. They kept remark-
ably well at the show. Baroness Schroe-
der and Dorchester showed up particu-
larly well.

N. A. Hallauer, of Fruitland, N. Y.,
exhibited a choice selection of fifteen
named varieties, with from six to eight
to a vase.

T. C. Thurlow & Sons Co., of West-
bury, Mass., sent a wonderfully fine
exhibit of 100 named varieties, fifteen
to a vase. Those worthy of special
mention were Simone Chevelier, Thur-
low's Double Red and La Rosiere.

L. J. Bryant, of Newark, N. Y.,
showed sixty-two named varieties of
peonies, six to eight in each vase. His

collection was a remarkably fine one and
among them Enchantress and Midnight
found special favor.

Jackson & Perkins Co., Newark, N. Y.,
exhibited forty named standard varie-
ties of peonies, six to eight in a vase.

S. G. Harris, of Tarrytown, N. Y.,
staged a collection of eight varieties,
including some of the choicest sorts.

The Park Display.

The Rochester Park Department was
responsible for 200 named varieties, six
to eight in a vase, and about twenty-five
large groups, also a symbol of the Red
Cross. Included in the collection was a
new single yellow peony grown from
seed sent from Japan by E. H, Wilson.

It is rather small, with a curly chrysan-
themum center. The single Japanese
varieties are wonderful and are of many
colors. The display of double flowers
included Theresc, considered by many
experts to be the most beautiful peony
in existence. The parks also furnished
the greater number of palms, shrubs and
bay trees used for the decorations.

The Local Trade Displays.

Jacob Thomann & Sons had two mam-
moth pedestal vases artistically filled
with La France.

James Vick's Sons put up a handsome
collection of thirty named varieties, six
to eight in a vase. The flowers were
.in fine shape.

George B. Hart had a good exhibit,
a garden effect, with peonies with quan-

tities of natural foliage. Natural oak
sprays made a good background.

Salter Bros, showed a group of peo-
nies, nicely arranged in vases, including
many varieties.

J. B. Keller Sons' exhibit covered a
large area and was arranged chiefly
for effect. Large gilt columns on which
were placed large bunches of peonies
were effective. On a large table were
three beautiful baskets of Edulis Su-
perba. Other vases and baskets con-
tained Crousse varieties. A bird bath
in which pansies were placed was excel-
lent. The background was filled in with
palms and trellises.

Ellwanger & Barry were resi^onsible
for sixty-five named varieties of peo-
nies, mostly six to eight flowers to a
vase, but several large vases. Boadicea,
Marquis De Lory and M. Jules Elie
showed up specially well.

H. E. Wilson had a large display of
peonies arranged chiefly in white and
green baskets. Palms and trellis work
made an ideal background.

George T. Boucher used much taste in
grouping his exhibit, which was com-
posed of peonies in large wicker vases.

John Charlton & Sons showed fifty
named varieties of peonies and ten large
vases. Couronne d'Or and Due de
Wellington were noteworthy. This was
one of the most beautiful collections in
the show.

The only other flower in the hall was
several branches of Styrax japonica. It
is the only tree of the variety in bloom
in Rochester and is growing on the lawn
of John House, florist.

R. H. Langhborough was the only
amateur exhibitor.

To swell the funds of the Red Cross
hundreds of peonies were sold at the
end of the exhibition at 5 cents each.

AT BOSTON.

Peony, Rose and Strawberry Show.

The dates for the show at Boston,
June 30 and July 1, suited double peo-
nies, but roses and .strawberries would
liave been better a week later. It is
difficult to fix correct dates in advance
for these summer shows, owing to our
erratic seasons.

T. C. Thurlow 's Sons Co. made a large
display of peonies, staging over 5,000
blooms, includiiig big vases of such
good varieties as Boule de Neige, Duch-
osse de Nemours, Avalanche, M. M. Ca-
huzac. Baroness Schroeder, Marguerite
Gerard, Mme. Crousse, festiva maxima,
Jules Calot, Armand Rousseau, La Tu-
lipe and Eugene Verdier. George N.
Smith, of the Wellesley Nurseries, had
an excellent collection of high grade
flowers.

E. J. Shaylor, of Auburndale, showed
a remarkable collection of his seedlings,
which attracted great attention. Promi-
nent among these were Wilton Lock-
wood, a large, symmetrical, flesh pink
flower with splashes of crimson; Will-
iam F. Turner, red; Frances Shaylor,
white; Jessie Shaylor, beautiful French
white; No. 65, pale pink, of great depth;
Secretary Fewkes, a beautiful white
suffused with pink. All the foregoing
were awarded certificates of merit. In
addition. No, 35, double white; Alma,
white Japanese, and Shaylor 's Dream,
a beautiful semi-double white, were
awarded honorable mention.

THAT the virtues as well as the proverbial sins of a father may be visited upon
his sons "even unto the third generation" is not disputed when the name of
Winthrop H. Thurlow is mentioned. For Mr. Thurlow's grandfather, wlio estab-

expert grower; his son, T. C. Thurlow, was the same, and now Winthrop and his
brother George, grandsons of tlie founder, sliow wliat inheritance will do. Mr.
Thurlow's name is known to the trade in all parts of the country, Ijocause of the

J. B. Wills won the special prize
offered for the largest bloom of a hy-
brid tea rose, with Florence Pemberton.

T. C. Thurlow's Sons Co. and George

for their fine peony displays.

The best new strawberry shown was

July 5, 1917.

CARRYING CARNATIONS OVER.

It will be greatly appreciated if you
will answer a question on carnation
culture for me, as I am green in this
business. Last year I planted a house
of carnations, about 800 plants. They
grew fairly well till the 40-below-zero
weather came. Then they did not bloom
well, but as soon as the weather be-
came mild they began to bloom freely
and they now are bearing a profuse
crop of flowers. Please tell me whether
it would pay to carry them over. In
that case, how shall I treat them? Shall
I cut them down, and how closely?
What would be the best feed for them?
When I planted them last year I put
in entirely new soil. E. W. — Can.

If, as you state, you are "green"
at the business, I would hesitate to
advise you to try to carry your carna-
tions over for a second season. Many a
veteran grower has tried and failed.
While I feel confident that these fail-
ures have, in most cases at least, oc-
curred because of failure to heed a
few facts which are patent to anyone
who will take a second thought, yet
a little more skill and judgment are
required in this operation than in re-
planting from the field. One of the
most important factors is that you can-
not cut back hard, in the heat of sum-
mer, a plant which has worked hard
all winter and is pretty well exhausted,
and expect it to break from the hard
wood and thrive. This is the most com-
mon cause of failure. The old maxim,
*'You cannot eat your cake and have
it," applies in this case. In order to
run carnation plants over the second
season you must sacrifice a portion of
the first season's crop by cutting the
plants back wliile the weather is yet
comparatively cool, thus allowing the
plants to recover and make a new
start under favorable weather condi-
tions. That means to sacrifice at least
the June crop and part of the May
crop.

Now for your case. You are up in
Canada, where the temperature prob-
ably does not rise high enough to be
oppressive to the carnation. Assuming
that to be true, if your plants have
not made a normal season's growth,
so that they are in good condition as
regards tlie supporting, you might be
able to run them right through without
much difficulty. Make sure that the
supports you are using will hold the
plants erect during the next season,
as on that will largely depend your
success during the second season. Give
the beds a mulch of half rotted stable
manure, to prevent too rapid evapora-
tion, after first sprinkling on a light
application of ground bone. This will
carry them through the summer, until
about September, when you can begin
feeding a little with ground sheep ma-
nure, dried blood, acid phosphate,

tankage or any other food you may
wish to use. Keep the plants upright in
the supports, keep them disbudded and
keep them clear of aphis, thrips and
red spider. A failure to heed any one
of these principles would diminish, if
not ruin, your chance of success.

A. F. J. B.

USING SOIL A SECOND SEASON.

Please tell us whether it would be
profitable to use carnation soil for two
years. As it is almost impossible to
get the necessary help, we thought we
might use the soil that is at present in
the benches for another season. What
kind of fertilizer should we use?

C. W. E. & S.— Pa.

It would have to be a case of rather
stern necessity before I would give up
changing the soil in my carnation
benches every year. Occasionally we
run across a grower who claims to grow
high-grade carnations on the same soil
for several seasons in succession. "Just
as fine as anyone could grow them on
new soil," is the way they usually
put it. Further inquiry, however, gen-
erally discloses the fact that these
claims need more or less modification.
I know of only one instance where a
grower produced really high-grade car-
nations on what he called second-year
soil, and he admitted that the

plants were slow in starting and
were not really in first-class condi-
tion until well along in the season. The
blooms I saw were staged late in
March. I know of no method of han-
dling this kind of soil to restore it to
its original fertility. Should such a
method ever be discovered, it would in-
deed be a boon to the growers, espe-
cially the carnation growers.

If you really find it necessary to use
some of this soil, I suggest that you
take out the plants and allow the soil
to dry out somewhat. Do not allow it to
become powder-dry and do not allow it
to dry out too rapidly, but touch up the
dry spots with the hose every day or
two until you have the whole bed just
a little drier than you would have it at
the time of planting. If you have some
well decayed cattle manure on the place,
spread a layer about an inch thick over
the entire bench, preferably after you
have got the soil into the state de-
scribed. Then grind the whole mass
through a soil grinder, of which there
may be many styles, but perhaps none
that is handier and more practical than
the one made at North Tonawanda,
N. Y. I think the W. F. Easting Co.,
of Buffalo, N. Y., sells it. I refer to
the one which is operated by hand.

In the absence of cattle manure, you
might substitute well rotted horse ma-
nure, to which you would add pulverized
sheep manure to the amount of 200
pounds to 1,000 square feet of bench
space. Level this off and plant a few
days later, after adding moisture grad-
ually to the soil until it is in proper
condition for planting. Bone meal, acid
phosphate and other fertilizers may be
added later, as they are needed. Eun-
ning the soil through the grinder is for
the purpose of breaking it up and also
thoroughly mixing it with the manure.
Both of these results are essential, in
my estimation. A. F. J. B.

A CHAIR OF FLOWERS.

The "chair" shown in the accom-
panying illustration was made by the
Art Floral Co., of San Francisco, for
the funeral of Alexander Davidson, the
superintendent of Cypress Lawn ceme-
tery, San Francisco, for twenty-five
years, who was struck and killed re-
cently by an automobile as he was com-
ing out of the gate of the cemetery.
The "chair" represented an expendi-
ture of $100 and was the tribute of the
cemetery employees. Russell roses were

$2 PER POUND.

A florist in a small city recently had
a wedding order on which the cost was
not limited quite so closely as is cus-
tomary in his community. Not only
was he called on to decorate the church,

but he was asked to do his best on the
bouquets for tlie bride and her maid.
He received $30 for one and $25 for the
other, so he spared nothing. "They
weighed twelve pounds apiece," he
proudly declares.

Lightness and grace often are char-
acteristics of wedding bouquets for the
attainment of which the florist feels
himself entitled to charge, but the com-
parison of weight with price is some-
thing distinctly novel. Let us hope
weiglit will not become the standard of
value in cut flower arrangement.

PARCEL POST C. O. D. FEES.

Growers, and those of the retailers in
the trade who take advantage of the
c. o. d. service of the parcel post, will
be interested in the changes that be-
came effective July 1. The fee for re-
turning money now is 10 cents for
amounts of $50 and less and 25 cents for
amounts of $100 and less. The pay-

ment of such fees automatically insures
the shipments for their actual value up
to the maximum amounts named. Ship-
pers now will not be allowed to pay a
10-cent insurance fee on parcels for
which more than $50 is to be returned,
even though they would be willing to
insure the package for that amount.
On the other hand, when the value of
the parcel is more than $50 and there is
less than that amount to be returned to
the shipper, he may pay the 25-cent fee
and be entitled to collect for loss up to
$100.

MONEY FOR RETAILERS.

The lower the prices, the more expen-
sive it is to sell cheap or poor flowers, but
the higher the prices, the more profit-
able it is to sell the best qualities of
flowers.

It will do lots of florists great good
if they will allow the above brief sen-
tence to sink into their minds and be-
come the basis of their retail business.

CUTTING OUT THE LUXURY.

Driving home the idea by means of
a slogan, "Carry your own," the Com-
mercial Economy Board of the Coun-
cil of National Defense is working up a
strong sentiment among both retail
merchants and the buying public in
favor of the "toting" of small par-
cels by the purchasers. Figures from
every part of the country, assembled
and digested by the board's workers,
indicate the vast expenditure of man
power and money represented in the
modern delivery system and show that
the American public has grown out of
its one-time habit of carrying its own
bundles.

By the use of its slogan, flashed upon
the screens in thousands of motion pic-
ture houses, and widely published in
the periodical press, th3 board aims to
overcome the prejudice of the Amer-
ican man and woman against being
seen in company with a parcel of any
kind. The board would make it a point
of patriotism with the purchaser not
to demand that his or her dozen carna-
tions or corsage bouquet be rushed home
in a truck manned by two men who
might be serving Uncle Sam in a mili-
tary or other capacity. The truck itself,
says the board, is needed for more vital
service than speeding home small pack-
ages for able-bodied persons who insist
on appearing empty-handed in public.

If the plans of the board are success-
ful it is certain that the net savings
from a corrected and amended delivery
system will run far into the millions
of dollars, and that "carrying your
own" will not only be respectable, but
actually become a point of honor.

CULTURE OF GODFREY CALLAS.

I have been growing the Godfrey
calla for the last two years and have
found it to be the best calla that grows.
It gives me two or three times as many
flowers as the old kind. My callas are
in a bed and are treated like carnations.
They are fine and are still giving good
flowers. I planted the bulbs last Sep-
tember, but they did not start off as
well as I thought they should. I al-
lowed them to dry up in June, and in
September I shook out the old soil and
replanted them, but when I started
them the crowns of some of them rotted.

The Vacant Chair as Made by the Art Floral Co., Sao Francisco.

I have been reading an article which
appeared in The Review about two
years ago, and which I have in my
scrapbook. I notice that you say to let
the old flowering bulbs rest from June
until September, and put the little ones
out in the open until September and
then bring them into the house. I have
a good many of tlie small ones that I
should like to put in 4-iuch pots and
let them grow all summer, so that they
will be large enough to flower next De-
cember. Can I remove them and put
them in pots without liurting the large
bulbs? Any information on the grow-
ing or handling of the Godfrey calla in
the summer in the south will be ap-
preciated. I shall never grow any other
kind again, for it has proved to be the
best for the country florist and I can
recommend it to any florist who is look-
ing for a free-blooming calla. However,
most of my friends in the trade do not
like it, for they can not get it started as
easily as the old kind.

W. E. P.— Okla.

I fully agree with j'ou that the God-

frey is the only calla to grow and I
find that it gives from double to treble
the number of flowers of the old Calla
a;thiopica. As you are growing your
plants in beds, I would dig them up as
the flowering season ends and pack tliem
in dry soil outdoors, Avhere you can pro-
tect them from lieavy rains. You can
remove the bulblets now; tlieir removal
will benefit and not harm the tubers of
flowering size. The bulblets can be
planted outdoors or in boxes and kept
watered. They will increase wonder-
fully in size by fall, when they can be
lifted auct potted before frost arrives.
If you would secure the maximum
number of flowers from your Godfreys,
I would strongly advise against bench
culture and would suggest that you
grow three strong flowering tubers to a
7-inch or four to an 8-inch pot, placing
these in single lines along the sides of
a house kept at a temperature of about
55 degrees at night. Feed with fine
bone in the form of top-dressings.
Plants thus grown yield a wonderful
crop of flowers. In benches they make
a ranker growth, but where they have a

If. as you state, you arc ''green''
at the husiness, 1 Avould hesitate to

Ncteran gr(i\V(>r has ti'ied and failed.
AVhih' 1 feel conliilent that these fail-
ures have, in most cases at least, oc-
i'urred hecaus(> of failure to heed a
few facts which are ]iatent to anyone
who will take a secoiul thought, yet
a little more skill and judgment are
re(|nired in this oj)eratiou than in re-
]ilantiiig from the iield. One of the
most important factors is that you can-
not cut haidx hard, in tlie heat of sum-

.and expect Jt to hfeak from the hai'il

USING SOIL A SECOND SEASON.

J Mease t(dl us whether it would be
]ir(ditalde to use carnation soil for two
years. A.s it is almost impossible to
get the necessary helji, we thought we
might use the soil that is at i)resent in
the beiudu>s for aiu)ther season. What
kind of fertilizer should we use?

C. AV. E. & S.— Pa.

It would have to be a case of rather
stoni necessity before I would give up
changing the soil in my carnation
benches every- year. Occasionally we
run across a grower who claims to grow
high-grade carnations on the same soil
for several seasons in succession. "Just
as line as anyone coidd grow them on
new soil," is the way they usually
put it. Further inquiry, liowever, gen-
erally discloses the fact that tliese
claims need more or less modification.
1 know of only one instance where a
grower produced really high-grade car-
nations on what he called second-year
s(ul, and he admitted that the

plants were slow in starting and
were not really in lirst-class condi-
tion until well along iu the season. The
blooms I saw were staged late in
March. I know of no method of han-
dling this kind of soil to restore it to
its original fertility. Should such a
method ever be discovered, it would in-
deed be a boon to the growers, espe-
cially the carnation growers.

If you really find it necessary to use
some of this soil, 1 suggest that you
take out the plants ancl allow the soil
to dry out somewhat. Do not allow it to
become jiovvder-dry and do not allow it
to dry out too rajjidly, but touch up the
dry spots with the hose every day or
two until you have the whole bed just
a little drier than you would have it at
the time of planting. If you have some
well decaye<l cattle manure on the place,
si)read a la.ver about an iiudi thick over
tlie entire beiudi, preferably after you
have got the soil into the state de-
scribed. Then grind the whole mass
through a soil grimier, of which there
nuiy be nuiny styles, luit perhaps none
that is handier ;ind more practical than
the one m;ide at North Tonawanda,
X. Y. I think the W. F. Kasting Co.,
of Bnfi'alo, \. Y., sells it. 1 refer to
the one whitdi is operated by hand.

In the ahseiH'e of cattle manure, you
might substitute well rotted horse ma-
nure, to which you would add ))ulverized
sheep manure to the amount of 200
pounds to 1,000 square feet of bench
space. Level this otf and ])lant a few
days later, after adding moisture grad-
ually to the soil until it is iu ju-oper
condition for ])l;niting. Bone meal, acid
])hosphate and other fertilizers may be
added later, .as they are needed. Run-
ning the soil through the grinder is for
the j)urj)ose of lireaUing it uj) .and also
thoroughly mixing it with the manure.
Both of these results are essential, in
mv estim.ation. A. F. J. B.

CARNATIONS IN THE SOUTH.

Preparing to House the Plants.

Wlien the blooming season is over
nearly all growers throw out their
old carnation plants and prepare the
houses for the new ones. Careful prep-
aration is required, whether the old soil
is to be used again or whether the beds
are filled with new soil. In adopting
the first plan, after the old plants have
been thoroughly cleaned out, the beds
should be left alone for a week, with
the ventilators closed, in order that the
soil may get a good drying. The soil
then may be spaded and left in a rough
state for another week or ten days, to
complete the drying out process. This
drying out of the soil is only another
way of giving it a mild sterilization.

When the house is wanted for plant-
ing, an inch of the top soil may be re-
moved and replaced with good cow ma-
nure, and the whole spaded over or
chopped in with a hoe. Smooth the
surface with a rake, and two days be-
fore planting water the soil thoroughly,
and the beds will be in good condition.

The preparation of the new soil should
begin in the fall. The ground from
which the soil is to be taken should have
a 2-inch coating of manure applied and
then plowed under. Or the ground may
be plowed first and then top-dressed
with the manure. I believe the govern-
ment, experts claim that the last-named
nuthod gets the best results from the
manure. Early in the spring the ground
should be broken again and gone over
with a disk harrow. This treatment
may be repeated as often as necessary
to get the soil well pulverized. Carna-
tions do not like a lumpy soil; neither is
it necessary that the soil contain fiber.
To minimize the ravages of stem-rot, I
have let the soil remain for two weeks
before planting, but I must confess that
the results obtained were hardly com-
mensurate with the time lost.

Stem-Bot.

After years of experimenting it seems
that we are as far from a remedy for
stem-rot as ever. Last spring one writer
gave his experience that by shallow
planting he had entirely escaped this
disease, losing not a single plant. I
envy the writer his good fortune, but
such has never been my experience, nor
have I ever seen it work out success-
fully with any of my neighboring grow-
ers. I practice shallow planting be-
cause it seems to be the universal idea
that such planting has a tendency to
check the inroads of the disease, but
I never hesitate to plant deep enough
to make the plants stand straight in
the beds. Between the two methods I
have never been able to see if one had
any superiority over the other, I be-
lieve I have tried all the remedies of-
fered, yet I am forced to admit that we

still need a Moses to lead us out of
Egypt.

It is well to take all the precautions
and endeavor to keep the loss down to
a minimum. Whenever a plant shows
signs of the disease, remove it from the
house at once. Eemove also the soil in
which it grew and replace with fresh
soil before replanting. I always feel
like congratulating myself when I can
keep the loss under ten per cent. The
plants in the field, thanks to the Skinner
system of irrigation, I believe, this
year are looking exceptionally healthy
and growing finely, and so far not a
plant has died from stem-rot. L.

PITY THE POOR CEMETERIES.

Florists will view with equanimity
the plight of the cemeteries, especially
those which maintain greenhouse de-
partments and bar outside competition,
but it is apparent some of these find
themselves closer pressed than does the
average florist. A cemetery's opportu-
nity for meeting increased costs by
creating a larger volume of business is
not of the best and the methods taken
to pass on to patrons the increased costs
are as interesting as they are unusual.
Having sold its lots on the argument of
the superior care given the grounds and
the specially handsome appearance of
the place, one cemetery now sends lot

owners who have not ordered anything
a bill for * ' general care, ' ' accompanied
by this letter:

The price of labor has doubled In the past
five years.

Materials which we are compelled to buy have
increased in cost from fifty per cent to 200 per
cent or more.

Under these conditions we can no longer care
for your lot and give general service unless you
are willing to pay part of tlie expense.

Care of your lot will be discontinued unless
the enclosed bill is paid promptly and other ex-
Ijensive service will not be rendered.

In the last few years cemetery man-
agers have come to realize that the
older sections of their grounds are a
liability rather than an asset; barring
florists out does not give enough in-
come from lot planting to pay the cost
of maintenance. To avoid the steady
aggravation of this condition, the plan
was devised of getting lot buyers to
create a special fund for the endow-
ment of the cemetery and a percentage
of the receipts from the sale of lots now
is set aside, the interest on which is
paid over to the management for the
perpetual care of the lots, the owners
of which created the fund.

GREENHOUSE INSURANCE.

Please tell us to whom to apply for
insurance on our greenhouses, against
cyclones and hail. M. F. C. — Minn.

If your risk is of the right character
your local fire insurance agents will be
able to get you a wind storm policy.
If the risk is not in line with the re-
quirements of the companies, you can-
not get the insurance, but no doubt your
regular agent can tell you what it is
necessary for you to do to bring your
risk up to the standard.

sented a valley filled with ferns; the
approaches were of gladioli and sweet
peas; the top was supported by iron
posts covered with foil and vines; the
crossties were of daisies and sweet peas
and the rails were represented by heavy
cord covered with foil. J. W. Bealle
designed and made the piece. He is a
former railroad man, now a florist.

SEASONABLE NOTES.

Fhalsenopsis.

The beautiful phalaenopsis, or moth
orahids, are yearly becoming more pop-
ular commercially. They are not of
easy culture, like cattleyas, dendrobes
or cypripediums, and to do them well
a special house is necessary. The Cali-
fornia growers succeed specially well
with phalsenopsis. They have the ad-
vantage of being located 3,000 miles
nearer the natural home of the phalse-
nopsis, the Philippines, than the large
eastern orchid specialists, but the latter
are rapidly learning the needs of the
moth orchids and extending their cul-
ture.

The best collections of those plants I
have seen are growing in houses con-
taining a central tank, over which rows
of phalsenopsis are hung on iron rods
or galvanized piping. Thrips and red
spider both trouble phalsenopsis, but
with the moisture provided by tanks of
water this danger is largely minimized.
Careful sponging of the leaves with
tepid water helps greatly to keep these
pests in check. Phalspnopsis plants neeil
considerable shade. The sun would soon
burn and disfigure the handsome leaves
of Schilleriana or amabilis. They need
at all times a brisk, moist heat and
there are not a few days and nights
even in summer when a little fire lieat
will benefit them. Phalaenopsis can be
grown successfully in pans, on blocks
or in deep, narrow baskets, in a mixture
of fresh sphagnum moss and fern root.

EARLY ^JOWSTORM SWEET PEA.

The Re\^^ for Juno 21 contained an
interesting article with reforonce to
George W. Kerr's work in breeding a
race of early-flowering Spencers for
greenhouse Avork, using Yarrawa as the
seed-bearer. The accompanying illus-
tration shows the variety Early Snow-
storm, of which one and one-half acres
were grown at the Floradale farm in
California this season. Howard M.
Earl, who has charge of the growing op-
erations of the Burpee firm, says he
considers Early Snowstorm as "un-
doubtedly the best of all the early white
sweet peas, whether of the Spencer or
grandiflora class. ' '

SWEET PEA CROPS.

When should I make my first sowing
of sweet peas this fall in order to grow
the second crop next spring on the same
bed, or is it possible to make one batch
produce flowers all winter and until
late in the spring? V. R. E. — Iiid.

I would not advise you to try suc-
cessive crops of sweet peas in the same
bed without some rotation. If you sow
seeds early in September, the plants will
start to flower about Christmas and
will yield blooms for at least three
months. I would suggest that you try
a crop of tomatoes or cucumbers after
the peas have passed. If you sow sweet
peas in July they will start to flower

Sw^eet Pea Early Snowstorm.

early in October and Idoom profitably
until January. If you want to have a
long succession of sweet peas, you
should make two sowings, hut do not
attempt to run two crops on the same
ground, as there would be a long jjap
between the crops. C. W.

POINTERS ON MIGNONETTE.

IMease give me a few directions for
growing mignonette indoors.

V. R. E.— Ind.

Seed of mignonette can be sown about
August 1, in either solid beds or raised
benches. If the latter, there should
1)0 no heating pipes below them. Use
such soil as suits roses or carnations.
Sow small pindies of seeds a foot apart

oacli way and tliiu out to two or three
soodliiigs in each jtatcli. Mignonette
needs a low tenii)orature, 4l* to 4o de-
grees at night being am])le. The plants
need supi)ortiiig with wires, and cross
strings or pieces of brush should be
jlacod among the plants. Pinch liack
the first lot of flowers and lot tlio plants
start from the base. Watch for green
worms, tlio kind which attack cab-
bages. Tliey will need careful hand-
picking in early fall. Plants throw
stronger spikes when disbudded, and
when well established a mulch of old
manure, in addition to occasional soak-
ings of licjuid manure, will be found
beneficial. Avoid heavy fumigation
where mignonette is grown, as the foli-
age scorches easily. C. W.

Oneonta, N. Y. — C. W. Peck sees one
of the best seasons on record ahead,
following the hysteria through which
the country has passed.

Wheaton, 111. — A beginner in the
business here is Mrs. J. If. Packer, who
recently completed the erection of a
house on rural route No. 3.

CULTURE OF MUSHROOMS.

I am sending you a package of mush-
rooms and would like to know which is
the right kind. I find many of the
small ones, but the majority are more
like the large ones. This is my first
attempt at growing them, but I intend
to continue their culture and would like
to know the name of the right variety.

W. H. H.— Mo.

These are small fungi which are not
poisonous, but not much used for food.
They come up abundantly in beds and
benches, especially where barnyard ma-
nure has been used freely. The mush-
room of commerce, Agaricus campestris,
of which there are several forms, is
touch larger and heavier than these
fungi and has thick, white stalks and
white skin while young, if it is grown
in a darkened position. It comes darker
when grown in a strong light. While
young the mushrooms are white, no
matter where they are grown, and the
gills are pink, turning brown and finally
black with age.

Prices of mushrooms fluctuate widely,
but they are highest during the hot
summer months, when the culture is
most difficult on account of the preva-
lence of insect pests and the difficulty
in securing a suitable cellarage space
where the temperature can be kept
down to 60 to 65 degrees. It is com-
paratively easy to grow mushrooms
under greenhouse benches in winter if
provision is made to protect the beds
from overhead drip and the mushrooms
can be kept dark. Cellars also may be
used, but the beds must not be made
near boilers that radiate a drying heat.
I find 50 to 55 degree^ a good winter
temperature, while in summer we use
cellars where the temperature never ex-
ceeds 65 degrees on tlie liottest days.
Ventilation is given on cool nights only
at that season, and a fumigation Avith
gas once in ten days clears out all in-
sect pests. C. W.

Poinsettia cuttings can be taken from
now until the end of July for flowering
in small pots or pans for Christmas. I
have rooted them as late as the early
part of August for making up small
pans. When the bracts sliow, the plants
should be given a night temperature of
58 to 60 degrees, and special care in
watering is needed if tlie foliage is to
be retained. C. W,

SCALE ON PALMS.

Can you tell me Iiow to rid palms of
scale, witliout washing the plants, so-je
of wliich are eight feet in height? It
is difficult to wasli the plants tlior-
oughly, but something must be done,
as much of the foliage is being spoiled.

broidery before assimilating, wise men
say. C. C. PoUworth, of Milwaukee, is
a fisherman of parts, but Mr. PoUworth
is an exception to the general run in
that he is a proof-producing angler.
Mr, PoUworth brings back pictorial
record of his good luck, as shown in the
accompanying illustration, and thereby
has something on which to hang his
tales.

The husky muskellunge partially ob-
scuring Mr, PoUworth in the picture
was hooked at Pelican lake, the Wis-
consin paradise of fishermen, where the
sportive Milwaukeean recently tried
his luck for a few days. Incidentally,
at the conclusion of his letter Mr, Poll-
worth places an onerous implication on
the heads of our Chicago sportsmen,
namely: "I note that quite a number
of the Chicago boys go a-fishing, but one
never sees any results!"

of scale is to lay them on their sides
and give the under side of the leaves
a spraying of Aphine, I have found
that this will kill and loosen the scale,
but will not remove it, A couple of
days later lay the plants down again
and use the hose on them, directing the
water through a fine spray nozzle. If
the work is done thoroughly, nearly all
of the scale will be blown off by the
pressure. Be sure to wet every portion
of the leaves with the insecticide. Usu-
ally the scale is found on the under side
of the leaves, but some of it probably
will also be found on the upper portions.
There are other insecticides which also
are good remedies for scale. C, W,

ROY WILCOX RETIRES.

A change in the affairs of J. P. Wil-

effected last week, when Eoy Wilcox re-
tired from the company, his stock being
purchased by his mother, Mrs. J. F.
Wilcox, and his brothers, Blaine Wilcox
and Glen Wilcox. Owing to poor health
Roy Wilcox expects for the present to
devote his time to personal and estate
matters.

The Wilcox greenhouses are among
the largest in the west and since the
death of J, F. Wilcox have been under
the management of Eoy Wilcox, In
future Blaine Wilcox will be at the head
of the company and Glen Wilcox will
continue in charge of the large Manawa

which will make the establishment of
still larger influence in trade affairs

Henry Youell, of Syracuse, says the

ined some of his stock and found that
quite a number of the plants were rot-

fine growth is looked for. Many seed-
lings and new varieties from California
are on trial here for the first time.
Entries for the show at New York dur-
ing the S, A, F, convention. promise to
make a full list, according to Mr, Youell.

Albert It, Davis, of Syracuse, took a
day off to indulge in the piscatorial art,
"Only the rainy weatlier permitted
such recreation at tliis busy time," ob-
served Mr, Davis, ' ' for we have been

caused by enforced absence of male

never were plants more carefully wa-

ally filled.

W. T. Hughes, of Rome, notes an
increase in general business through the

course, sanguine regarding the future.

E, J, Byam, of Rome, says: "By all
means show your patrons by word and

displayed indorses his views and attracts

OBITUARY

Abraham L. Pennock.

Abraham L. Pennock, the oldest flo-
rist in Philadelphia, died in the Pres-
byterian hospital June 29, in the nine-
tieth year of his age. Mr. Pennock was
the founder of the firm of Pennock
Bros., the pioneer florists of his city,
and father of the younger men whose
names are household words in the trade
today. He was widely known and highly
respected, retaining until the close of
his long and useful life a keen interest
in the affairs of the busy world in which
he has taken such a prominent part.

For many years Mr. Pennock had
made his winter home in Jupiter, Fla.,
where two of his sons are engaged in
business. He came from Jupiter to his
home in Lansdowne, Pa., to spend the
beautiful month of June. There was
celebrated the golden wedding anniver-
sary, June 5, when Mr. and Mrs. Pen-
neck, surrounded by their sons and
daughters and their children, had a
happy reunion.

Abraham L. Pennock built his first
greenhouses at Lansdowne in 1861, the
year of the commencement of our great
Civil war. It is interesting to note at
this time of stress that Mr. Pennock
had the courage to embark in a
new enterprise when the whole coun-
try was ringing with alarms. Three
years later, in 1864, while the war was
still in progress, the firm of Pennock
Bros, commenced business on Twelfth
street, near Chestnut street, Philadel-
phia. The firm was composed of A. L.
Pennock and J. L. Pennock. In 1876,
the centennial year, Pennock Bros, re-
moved to their present quarters at 1514
Chestnut street. The lot was the same
size then as now, but the store and con-
servatory have been improved and re-
modeled since. In 1878, I think, J. L.
Pennock withdrew. The firm was then
formed of A. L. Pennock, Thomas Cart-
ledge, John Westcott and Herbert A.
Pennock. Mr. Pennock continued his
active interest in the firm of Pennock
Bros, and in his greenhouses at Lans-
downe until 1892, when the firm of Pen-
nock Bros, was again changed; John
Westcott withdrew to take charge of
Ferguson's Laurel Hill Nurseries, which
he had just purchased, and Herbert A.
Pennock retired to embark in business
as a grower in Florida. The firm then
consisted of Abraham L. Pennock and
Thomas Cartledge, each partner bring-
ing his son to learn the business. Upon
the death of Mr. Cartledge, in 1898, Mr.
Pennock withdrew from the firm of
Pennock Bros., which from that day un-
til this has been composed of A. B.
Cartledge and J. Liddon Pennock.

Mr. Pennock 's greatest floricultural
achievement lay in making lily of the
valley into an every-day-in-the-year
flower through the employment of cold
storage.

Mr. Pennock had divided his time
since his withdrawal from active busi-
ness between Jupiter, Fla., and Lans-
downe, Pa., keeping in close touch with
all the life of both places.

Mr. Pennock is survived by his wife,
Mrs. Anna C. Pennoik; three daugh-
ters, Mrs. Frances S. Laird, Mrs. N. P.
Stauffer, and Mrs. Kobert C. Folwell,

Nongacnarian A. L. Pennock Photographed in Golden Wedding Group, June 5.

and six sons, Herbert A., Casper, Sam-
uel S., J. Liddon, Henry S. and
George L.

The funeral services were held at the
Pennock home at Lansdowne July 2
and were largely attended. There were
many beautiful flowers. Phil.

J. I. Donlan.

James Ivera Donlan died suddenly
at Ward's Island hospital, New
York, Wednesday, June 27. Mr.

Charles W. Unglaub.

Donlan was a man of splen-
did artistic ability and he wielded
a trenchant pen. His unique and inter-
esting letters in The Review in its early
days will long be remembered. He was
associated with Klunder for several
years and his capacity as a decorator
was widely recognized.

He was active in connection with
John Thorpe at the Chicago world's
fair. Oflate years he had been a writer
for the New York World and other
daily papers.

Fred M. Kelly.

F. M. Kelly, proprietor of a range
of houses at Kokomo, Ind., and well

known to Indiana florists, was drowned
June 27.

Tlie body of the decedent was found
in the Mississnewa river, on the out-
skirts of Marion, Ind., and the authori-
ties of the town said there was every
indication that Mr. Kelly had been
robbed and then thrown into the river.

The deceased, who was 35 years of
age, entered the florists' business about
fifteen years ago, and was considered
one of the most capable growers of his
part of the state. He had many friends,
but his eccentricities were marked, al-
though he was unfailingly generous
and affable. He is survived by his
mother, his wife and a daughter 9 years
of age.

B. Hart.

B. Hart, senior member of tlie firm
of Hart Bros., 8322 Detroit street,
Cleveland, O., died Saturday, June 30,
after an illness of only a few days. An
attack of quinsy the first part of the
week developed into diphtheria, from
wliicli he died.

Mr. Hart was a son of Herman A.
Hart, one of Cleveland's pioneer florists,
and was 40 years old. He was married
and leaves a widow and one daughter.
The funeral was held Monday, July 2,
and was private. The burial at River-
side cemetery was in charge of the Ma-
sons. Mr. Hart was a member of the
Cleveland Florists' Club and was prom-
inent in the bowling tournaments of the
club. F. A. F.

THE LATE C. W. UNGLAUB.

Charles W. Unglaub, who died June
4 at Springfield, O., had all his working
life engaged in the florists' business.
During the last years of his life he spe-
cialized in carnations and chrysanthe-
mums and had the reputation of being
one of the most successful growers of
carnations in the state. The illness
that caused his death at the age of 44
years came at a time when he was do>-
veloping a new greenhouse establish-
ment, he having sold his original range
in 1912. He left a widow and two chil-
dren. The executors of the estate are
considering the sale of the Unglaub
establishment.

the largest in the west and since the
death of J. F. Wilcox have been under
the management of lioy Wilcox. In
future Hlaine Wilcox will be at the head
of the comjiany and (ilen Wilcox will
continue in (diarge of the large Manawa
houses. Extensive additions are planned,
whicli -will make the establishment of

year of the (•(iimneiicenifiit of our great
Civil war. It is interesting to note at
this time of stress that Mr. I'ennoek
had the eoui'ago to embark in a

Results l)riiig advertising.
The Review brings results,

"A KOLT>iNG stone gatliers no moss,"
but there are lots of florists who do not use
moss in their liusines-s.

One of the troubles is that in this trade
prices are made, not on what it H'osts to
})ro(iuce the stock, but based on the selling
prices of other people.

It is not too late to plant some of that
surjdus stock on your own grounds and
thus convert it into an excellent advertise-
ment for next season.

It is reported that Cincinnati begonias
liave been selling unusually well and cer-
tain dealers in young stock say they are
unable to supply tlie demand for ])lants
wanted for Christmas iiowering.

Many ])eople have noted a distinct im-
provement in the practice of the trade in
tiie i)ayment of bills; one by one florists
are acquiring the means and the habit of
cleaning up all outstanding accounts each
month.

TiiKRE is a strong and rapidly increas-
ing demand for wind storm insurance on
greenhouses. While a number of com-
l)anies write storm insurance, their re-
(|uirements are so severe that the ordinary
type of greenhouse establishment is not
acceptable.

It seems clear that any falling off in
the flower buying of the well-to-do during
the war will be fully compensated for by
the increased use of flowers by the work-
ing people, whose incomes are likely to be
larger and steadier than ever before. The
florists' problem, as time goes on, wiU
become one of production rather than dis-
tribution.

PLEASE NOTE.

Each week a number of letters con-
taining advertising instructions reach
The Review while the paper is on the
press — Just a few hours earlier and they
would have had attention a week sooner
than is jjossible.

It is the aim to give prompt service,
but to secure it advertisers should note:
''It is impossible to guarantee the in-
sertion, discontinuance or alteration of

are received by 4 p. m. Tuesday. ' '

TRADINa WITH THE ENEMY.

Since the British navy blockaded
Germany it has been a more or less
popular pastime with the trade to un-
dertake, by arrangement with someone
in Holland or in Scandinavia, to obtain
German merchandise by indirection.
Many shipments of German flower seeds
have been made from Holland masquer-
ading as of Dutch origin. The same
with valley pips and other articles.
Some of these shipments have come
through safely, but many have been
confiscated by the British. It has been
a good game because the American did
not expect to pay unless he received the
goods, but now the United States gov-
ernment's preparing to take a hand and
a term in prison may be the penalty
which will follow conviction.

The trading with the enemy bill will
be the last of the great war measures
Congress will consider, but in advance
of its passage the departments are
warning American merchants to avoid
any transaction which may develop un-
expected responsibilities.

THERE IS A SURPLUS.

Although there were considerable
quantities of surplus geraniums in the
east at the close of the 1916 season, it is
])r()bable the arrival of tlie Fourth of
•July never has caught the trade the
country over with so much unsold stock
as is on hand today. There are locali-
ties in which practically everything has
])een sold, and there are individuals
who have cleaned out ahead of their
•neighl)ors, but the majority of florists,
especially the bedding plant specialists
ill the cities, have more unsold stock
than ever before at this date.

Usually the arrival of the Fourth is
considered as marking the end of the
bedding plant season. Perhaps it may
not be so this year, because the season
has been from two to three weeks late
from the start.

The oversupply includes almost every-
thing, but consists principally of gera-
niums and cannas. Last year gerani-
ums were overdone in localities, princi-
])ally in the east, and a few growers
cut down on them, but the majority felt
that last year's surpluses were only the
result of waiting for buyers instead of
going after them and there w^as suffi-
cient confidence so that unusually large
stocks were worked up for this season.

How large a part of the present sur-
plus is due to increased production,
what part is due to the late, cold spring
and wet Decoration day, what part is
due to the unsettlement following the
declaration of war, what part to the
tidal wave of vegetable planting and
what part to the average florist's dis-
position to await rather than seek the
buyer, it is difficult to determine, but
a decision would not alter the fact that
the season leaves much to be desired.

At the start there was a fairly well
concerted effort to get better prices,
but not for long. It did not take many
weeks of backward conditions to con-
vince some of th« plantsmen that half
a loaf is better tkan no bread and
prices asked became more irregular than
ever. Especially during June have
values shrunk. The continuous rain at
Memorial day, in many localities, hit
the plantsmen hard — a large percentage
of the sales lost at that time are gone
for the year. Consequently, much stock
has since been sold below the cost of
production.

The outcome is especially unfortunate
because the trade will need better prices
next season even worse than it has
needed them this year.

THE COST OF PRODUCTION.

The uncertainty about the price of
coal has been turned into a certainty
that the grower's fuel bill will be about
double that of last year, by the action
of the mine operators in agreeing to a
scale of maximum prices for the prod-
ucts of various fields.

Growers now can begin to figure what
it will be necessary to charge for stock
to make up for the increased cost of
production. Many who contract for
their fuel supply have already done so,
while others were uncertain what the
increased cost in their establishments
would be. It is certain, however, that
this fall must see better prices for the
grower if he is to realize a profit on
his labor and investment.

It will not be necessary, perhaps, to
make a radical increase in the price of
stock. What increases are necessary
can easily be secured from the flower
buyer, as he is in the habit of paying
more for everything he purchases. Con-
sequently the same margin of profit will
be left for the retailer and the grower
will be able to live and pay his coal
bills.

CHICAGO.

The Market.

With the setting in of warm weather
the wholesale cut flower market has
resigned itself to the regular run of
summer business. Trading last week
was slow, stock plentiful and prices
low. A slightly improved tone was
noted June 30, but demand was not
active enough to clean up the market
for the week end. July 2 found business
even a little better, with stock gener-
ally considerably shorter, but demand
was lethargic and buyers' prices pre-
vailed.

American Beauties are not in large
supply, but there are enough to fill
buyers' needs. There is some good
stock, but, on the whole, quality is not
good. Other varieties of roses sold
poorly, although the quality, consider-
ing the time of year, is fairly good.
Prices were low and large numbers
were sold for nominal returns. Carna-
tions also move poorly. The quality
averages poor, although some good stock
is arriving. Their season is almost over.

Even valley was plentiful last week,
but sold for fair prices. Easter lilies
have been difficult to move, but a
slightly improved demand was notice-
able towards the last days of the week.
The supply is large. Orchids enjoy the
distinction of being the only item on

Mention The Review when you write.

the market that was really scarce last
week. A good demand easily cleaned
out what stock arrived and prices held
up well. Stocks sold fairly well. There
are not many sweet peas to be found
on the market, the season being nearly
over. There are plenty of gladioli to
fill all needs. Daisies have been selling
slowly, due, in a large measure, to the
great number of field daisies which
may be seen.

The supply of peonies has shortened
down somewhat, although northern
crops are coming in and there are con-
siderable quantities still in cold stor-
age. They sold fairly well last week.
Outdoor candytuft is commencing to
arrive, but is moving slowly. Snap-
dragons are also selling poorly. A mod-
erate supply of delphinium is arriving
and receives a fair call.

Greens have not yet become normal-
ly plentiful.

June Business.

June has been an unusual month in
this market; it has given widely vary-
ing results for the different interests.
In a retail way, there have been fewer
fashionable weddings than usual and
they have called for less elaborate
floral accessories. This has cut into the
business of some of the best retailers.
On the other hand, funeral work has
been good, transient trade in the me-
dium class stores has been excellent
and outdoor work above the average
for June. Consequently some retailers
are well pleased, especially as stock
was obtained at low prices.

Wholesalers have not been short of
stock. There has been a large turnover
at prices that were, perhaps, a little
below the usual June average. Some
houses handled considerably more stock
than last year and thus made an in-
crease in sales. The reverse was true
of others. But it should be considered
that June of 1916 was unusually good;
to equal last June was doing well. It
was noted that shipping trade to the
country towns was excellent, especially
the first three weeks of the month.

The growers fared in proportion to
their production; with some it was more
than a year ago, with others, less.

way with the "Out-of-Town" Retail Florist
is practical co-operation between the
grower and the retailer.

June Weather.

June was an excellent growing
month, both in the field and under glass.
With only slight interruptions, the
weather remained cool during the entire
month. June 16 frost was observed,
this being the latest in the spring upon
which frost has ever occurred in Chi-
cago within the records of the Weather
Bureau. The highest temperature dur-
ing the month was 86 degrees June 26.
Although there was some deficiency in
the total rainfall, the showers were
evenly distributed and highly beneficial
to growing crops. Most of the rains
occurred during thunder storms, and
some of these were accompanied by
fresh gales, the highest wind velocity
being fifty miles an hour June 12. The
percentage of sunshine was consider-
ably below the average, being only

ture for both its owners, in spite of
hard work and capable management.

That locally-grown orchids have been
the best property on the market during
June is the statement of 11. Van Gelder,
of Percy Jones, Inc., who says even
now, with eastern orchids to be had in
quantity, the call for local stock ex-
ceeds the supply.

C. J. Michelsen is looking for an un-
usually good summer business in this
market this year. He bases his belief
on the decreased production of garden
flowers, the excellent business being
done in the cities and towns that draw
on Chicago, and the fact that vacations
will consume less than usual of people's
time and money.

The Albany Nurseries, which have
been operated as a spring catchpenny,

on Madison street, near the W. W.
Barnard Co., has closed the store. It
is a corporation of which Charles A.
Meinersmann, a landscape architect
who operates two retail flower stores, is
ostensibly the head, but it is said the
backing was by Mr. Lehmann, of the
Fair. Report has it that the store has
done $13,000 or $14,000 of business in
nursery stock, bedding plants, consign-
ment seeds, etc., in the three months
it has been operated, but that expenses
have been so high there has not been
a great deal of profit in it.

The matter of coal prices being to
the front .just now, it will be of interest
to note tliat Peter Reinberg, Wietor
Bros, and other large growers in the
city, who feel under the necessity of
using smokeless coal, have contracted

for their season's supply of Pocahon-
tiis at $3 per ton at the mine, as against
$1.35 last year. Transportation will
cost $2.30, making the fuel cost $5.30
this season, compared to $3.50 last sea-
son.

At the home of Charles Erne it is the
rule to celebrate the centennial of the
signing of the Declaration of Inde-
pendence— because Mr. Erne arrived
in this world of many joys July 4, 1876.

George Wienhoeber, who now has
been in business for himself two years
and a half, says May and June have
been excellent months, from one-third
to one-half better than last year.

At Winterson's Seed Store it is said
the cut flower business has been remark-
ably steady this season. The sales of

John Fuhrmann and his ]. 3-year-old
daughter, who were severely injured
while motoring in Michigan June 24,
are doing nicely in the north side hos-
pital to which they were removed after
the accident and their complete recovery
is ex])ected. The machine overturned into
a ditch, burying the occupants under-
neath. Mr. Fuhrmann sustained severe
injuries to his spine, as well as to his
leg.s and stomach. His daughter's stom-
ach was crushed, the younger son was
severely bruised, as was the elder, who
was, however, the only one able to get
around and lend assistance to the
others. Tlie injured were taken to a lo-
cal hotel, but facilities were inadequate
and hearing that a limited train to Chi-
cago would pass through in an hour, the
elder son decided to flag it. This he
did and the in:iurcd were loaded into the
baggage car on the beds which they had
occupied in the hotel. They were met
by ambulances when the train reached
the city.

The Market.

There has been a surfeit of rain dur-
ing the last week. This, of course, has
made cool weather the usual thing and,
while there were two hot days, stock in
general is still in fair shape.

The effects of the cloudburst of Fri-
day, June 22, are still felt, as the wash-
outs on the railroad tracks at the west
end of the city make the arrival of in-
coming trains more or less of a problem.

On account of the cool, cloudy
weather, peonies are just about at the
height of their season, whereas they
should be a thing of the past by this
time under conditions of previous years.
Sweet peas are still arriving in quan-
tity, although the quality is poor and
the end of the cut cannot be far off.
This stock is moving, but the prices
realized are low. Carnations are be-
coming softer daily and the deteriora-
tion is quite marked when they are
compared with the stock of a few
weeks ago. Good stock is moving fairly
well and is bringing fair prices, but the
medium stock is not clearing, even in
bargain lots.

Eoses are good and the supply is
more than adequate. Of course, when
the supply is large the long, fancy stock
Buffers most, as it does not find such a
ready market as the shorter grades, and
proportionate prices are not so good as
when stock is somewhat scarce. Eus-
sell roses are having a good sale and the

are plentiful and in fine form. The de-
mand is not strong, but there is little

Lilies are extremely plentiful and it is
impossible to handle the cut with any
degree of satisfaction. Valley is in
good condition and moves well.

On account of the lateness of the sea-

supply of flowers, which are in active
demand at fair summer prices. These
flowers include a few varieties of roses,
Easter lilies, gladioli and extremely
few orchids. Valley is obtainable, but
there are signs that the growers are
saving their pips for the fall and winter.
Sweet peas are not warm weather
flowers, few as they are. Delphinium
has been in oversupply.

There are only two carnations that
the buyers want, Mrs. C. W. Ward and
Matchless. They stand the heat when
well grown; the older varieties seldom
do. A few early asters have come,
mostly pink and white. White roses
have fallen short of the demand, but

small white flowers, such as candytuft
and feverfew, have been in heavy sup-
ply, with many remaining over.

mous receipts, low prices and a large
total in dollars and cents. The outlook
for July is that the receipts will be
light. Outdoor gladioli from the south
now are competing with the green-
house-grown stock. Oold storage peo-
nies do not meet with much favor.

The Button System.

An interesting feature of the Amer-
ican Association of Nurserymen's con-
vention in the Adelphia hotel last week

was the organization's button for iden-
tification. By its aid a member could tell
at a glance what nursery any other
member represented. For instance, the
man on the other side of the room, that
tall, fine-looking man, wears a button
on his coat lapel numbered 104. The
catalogue shows that nurnber to be the
property of the North Abington Nurs-
ery Co., North Abington, Mass., while
further aid from the same service
shows that the other man talking to
him represents the J. Van Lindley
Nursery Co., of Pomona, N. C, no less
a personage than Paul Van Lindley
himself.

An Object Lesson.

There is a beautiful garden in this
city that affords pleasure to everyone
who sees it. I never see it without ex-
periencing a sense of being the better
for the sight. It is a small, perfectly
plain garden. There is a square grass
plot on the right and one on the left off
a path that leads from the top of a flight
of steps to the house. The center of
each plot is filled by a flower bed.
Along the front of the vine-covered
house is another flower bed. That
is all; yet the effect is so fresh and
pretty, an effect that is heightened by
the city surroundings, that I often re-
call it with pleasure.

Particularly does it come to mind
when some brother florist complains of

the war's effect on business, one who
does not try and whose place shows that
he is not trying. Then that garden
comes to mind, and I think that the man
who planted that garden with its rich
crotonsand draca^nas,i,tssoft green ferns
and its bright-hued and its variegated-
leaved geraniums, had courage and was
going right ahead playing the game.
You have guessed whose garden it is?
Of course you have. Everybody knows

the garden in front of Robert A. Craig's
and everybody is the better for knowing
it.

Various Notes.

Arthur A. Niessen believes that the
June business in cut flowers has been
heavy, fully equal to anything past.
This was made possible by the great
quantity of flowers.

of Baltimore. This week I am going to
tell something of one which, while not
so old, has played an important part
in the progress of the florists' business
of our city. There were just four
stores in the city, those of Halliday,
Feast, Cook and Pentland, when the
business now conducted by Mary John-
ston was founded by her father, the
late Robert Paterson.

A boy of 18, Robert Paterson arrived
in this country in 1857 from Scotland,
where he had received a thorough train-
ing in the greenhouses on the estate of
the Earl of Minta. His first position
in this country was with his uncle, who
at that time was gardener for Johns
Hopkins, on what is today Clifton park.
In 1859 he secured his first private
l)lace, that of General Tyson, of How-
ard countv. There he met and married

liable lean-to of those days; yet there
was plenty of work for each child to do.

When Hayes Was President.

In those days the only place where
one could dispose of one's product was
the markets, and here the stall of Eob-
ert Paterson was open throughout the
year. After the spring rush with plants,
one of the children would go out every
market day with the cheaper funeral de-
signs, and at Christmas with immor-
telles, wreathing and the like. The
efforts of the six children, coupled with
the practical knowledge of the father,
soon began to tell, and in 1878 a store
was procured at 221 West Madison
street, part of the site of which now is
occupied by the present store; and
Mary Paterson, now Mrs. Mary John-
ston, after a year's training in the
store of Kobert J. Halliday, was in-
stalled as its manager. She was then
16 years of age, and has been at the
helm ever since. She has seen the
business grow under her careful man-
agement from the little store that each
day disposed of the output of her fa-
ther's greenhouses to what was de-
scribed last winter by one of the Sun-
day papers as "one of the most fash-
ionable and prosperous florists' busi-
nesses in the city." The newspaper
writer described the phenomenal suc-
cess of the business, and ascribed this
success to the personality of its pro-
prietor— "Everyone isn't born with
the clever fingers and the seeing eye,
and everyone is not born with the ca-
pacity for hard, unremitting labor. ' '

"There's a Reason."

Mary Johnston possesses the "clever
fingers and the seeing eye,*^' and there
is no one who knows better than the
writer that there is not a qualification a
florist should possess that is not nat-
ural with her. Her business, through
its many years of association with some
of Baltimore 's best families, has be-

death, Mary Johnston is sent for — no

charge of everything.

A thing she is featuring with great
success at funerals of old customers,
when there are quantities of flowers, is
to remove the tributes from the house
to the cemetery with her own men and
vans, and in this way keep the under-
taker from piling them on top of one
another.

Her son, Eobert, has finished his edu-
cation, and with his father, W. J. John-

which there is much. It is often the lot

The Market.

Midsummer dullness reigns in cut
flower circles. There is a fair amount
of business transacted, but prices are
low. In spite of the recent warmer
weather, the quality remains remark-
ably good. For American Beauty roses
there is little call. In hybrid teas the red
and deep pink varieties have sold the
best, with a fair demand for Ward,
Kaiserin and Double White Killarney.
Outdoor Jacqueminot, Brunner and
other hybrid perpetuals are now com-
ing in, but are late this year for wed-
dings and graduations, and as a result
prices are low. Carnations are abun-
dant and so far pretty free from red
spider, but prices are low, all the way
from 25 cents to $2 per hundred. Out-
door sweet peas now are arriving and
are of better quality and color than the
premature product.

Until this week yellow marguerites
sold well. Sweet sultans are at present
in favor. Peonies are in heavy supply,
but prices average only one-half of
those of a year ago, due to the crop
coming so late. Larkspurs, Spanish
irises, sweet williams and other outdoor
stock are used for window decorations.
Liliums are not selling well. Valley
now is of poor quality. Pansies are
done for the season. Cattleyas are
shortening up. The demand for aspara-
gus and ferns is light. Bedding plant
trade continues, but has fallen below
expectations.

Various Notes.

The officers and executive board of
the American Sweet Pea Society de-
cided, after hearing reports from New-
port, Bar Harbor, Lenox and other
sweet pea centers, not to postpone the
convention and exhibition to be held in
Boston July 7 and 8. While a week
later would have been better for this

soon. A. Daniels has joined the Har-

for the base hospital in France. June
business in weddings has been splendid
and several orders have been booked
for July.

The finest carnations now coming to
the market are the new rare pink Albert
Koper from the Roper Estate, Tewks-
bury. These carnations seem to be just
as fine in hot as cold weather and realize
top prices here.

Henry E. Comley at his Park street

that June business was satisfactory.

ter are cutting a fine crop of hybrid

ports satisfactory business for the
month of June.

S. J. Goddard started planting his
carnation houses this week. Stock has
made splendid growth iu the field.

Nine young men from the R. & J.
Farquhar & Co. seed store and nurseries
have enlisted.

Eecent visitors here included B. H.

The Market.

The clean-up June 30 was all that had
been expected, and more. Prices for
everything but valley were low, but
there were no unusual sacrifices. Good
valley was scarce and about any price
asked could be had. The price of longi-
llorum lilies was firmer and some
select flowers brought more than
$3 per hundred. The accumulations
of the week, however, were dis-
posed of at from $1 to $2 per hundred.

The orchid supply is more than suf-
ficient for the demand. Some special
gigas touched 50 cents each, but from
40 cents downward were the general
quotations. The quality is excellent,
but the retail requirements were light
and dinner and funeral demands smaller
than usual.

Shipments of carnations continue
larger than usual at this time of the
year, but another week or ten days will
find the old plants eliminated and the
receipts much lighter. Prices were low,
the best stock not bringing more than
$1.50 per hundred. A great deal of the
stock was sleepy and sold at 50 cents
per hundred and under.

Apart from the cold storage stock,
the peony season is over. Some of the

best of the late arrivals brought as high
as $2 per dozen. Asters are arriving
freely and everybody seems to have
been growing delphinium this year.

The rose shipments continue heavy.
Some fair stock of American Beauties
is received, prices for the best averag-
ing about $15 per hundred. The heat is
affecting the smaller roses and the
sliort-stemmed arrivals sold at from
$2.50 to $5 per thousand. Rambler
branches are here in great numbers and
the outdoor rose season, wliich was re-
tarded by the cold weather, is at its
height.

For the other seasonable flowers there
is but a light demand and for fever-
few and sweet william there is none at
all. There is an adequate supply of
sweet peas, daisies, stocks, coreopsis,
gladioli, calendulas and gypsophilas.

July 1 sixty wholesale cut flower
houses closed their doors, many of them
for the first time in more than a quarter
of a century. The Sunday closing seems
to have been accomplished With unani-
mous consent and without harm to the
business.

Various Notes.

July 9 a special meeting of the Xew
York Florists' Club will be held at its
rooms in the Grand Opera House build-
ing, Twenty-tliird street and Eighth
avenue. Tlie meeting will be of impor-
tance because of the coming S. A. F.
convention, now but six weeks distant.
Everything now presages a large at-
tendance.

George W. Crawbuck 's family is
spending the summer at their home in
East Quogue, L. I. Mr. Crawbuck goes
there for his week ends.

The war is likely to thin out seriously
the helpers in the stores, wholesale and
retail.

H. Riedel will be on jury duty in the
Court of General Sessions during July.

A. Bowker, with Riedel & Meyer, has
joined the Sixty-ninth regiment.

Charles Carlin has recovered his
health and was in the wholesale district
June 30.

ST. LOUIS.

The Market.

Business at the wholesale houses,
considering the time of the year, has
kept up well. There seems to be plenty
of stock, save that the fancy grades are
none too plentiful. Now that weddings,
graduations and other factors that cre-
ate a demand are over, business may
be expected to revert to summer's dull-,
ness. Many of the flower buyers have
packed and gone north to summer re-
sorts, and about the only _ thing left
for the retailers is funeral work.

The wholesalers expect stock to be
scarce from now on, as the growers
have commenced to pull out the old
stock and the field stock has suffered a
great deal of late for the want of a
good, drenching rain. A few gladioli
are arriving from the field and meet

with a good demand, the leading sellers
being America, King, Pink Beauty and
Augusta. These featured the market
last week at $4 per hundred for the
best quality. Unless good rains arrive
the outdoor crop of sweet peas will
amount to little.

Carnations and roses plainly show the
effects of the hot weather and excel-
lent blooms of these are hard to find
at present. Shasta daisies are arriving
in fine form and sell well. Easter lilies
are not any too plentiful and the price
is up to $8 per hundred. Many outdoor
flowers are offered, but their sale is
only fair. Ferns and asparagus sell
well.

Various Notes.

The St. Louis Florists' Club's annual
picnic, July 26, promises to be the best
and largest ever held by the club. One
of the big features this year will be
a parade of decorated automobiles car-
rying the picnickers to the grounds.

The parade will form in the wholesale
district and the line of march will ex-
tend to the downtown business section
and then to Eamona park. This part
of the program is in the hands of W.
C. Smith and Frank A. Windier. Spe-
cial prizes for the various contests are
coming in daily and anyone wishing to
post prizes should do so at once.

The annual meeting of the Missouri
State Florists' Association will be held
sometime next month at Columbia,
Mo. Secretary W. S. Wells says that
all members will receive notification of
the date in due time. Much important
matter is up for this meeting and a
large attendance is looked for.

The early closing* of the wholesale
houses has gone into effect and the
trade is buying earlier in the day. The
retailers are in sympathy with the
movement.

August Hummert, vice-president of
the St. Louis Seed Co., says that he
never saw business keep up so well as
it has this year. The large force put
on early in tlie season is still busy. In-
ventory was begun this Aveek.

John S. Carter, head of the Xicotine
Mfg. Co., says his men are working
overtime to catch up with orders. Never
before has there been such a demand
for nicotine extracts as this year.

George Schmidt, rose grower for "W.
J. Pilcher, of Kirkwood, has had great
success this season with Hadley and
Kussell, the latter being the finest ever
seen on this market. The W. C. Smith
Wholesale Floral Co. handles the stock
with great success.

Co. held its annual stockholders' meet-
ing July 26, and the John T. Milliken

AMERICAN SEED TRADE ASSOCIATION.

President, F. W. Bolgiano, Washington, D. C. ;
Secretary-Treasurer, C. E. Kendel, Cleveland, O.

Wisconsin peas are in excellent condi-
tion and a fine crop is expected.

Nasturtium is one of the items on
which the American seed trade is likely
soon to become self-reliant.

The growing season is late practically
everywhere, but most seed crops look
fairly well and promise at least moder-
ately well.

The Chicago onion set crop looks fa-
vorable at the present time, although still
a little backward. With good weather
from now on a fair crop is expected.

How long will the supply of valley
pips last? In spite of decreased use of
cut valley this season, most forcers are
within sight of the end of their resources.

The large attendance at last month's
seed trade convention was the result of
many houses sending an unusual number
of representatives. Several members wore
represented by three or four men, while
one of the concerns seeking seedsmen 's
patronage had as many as seven solicitors.

The California growers say the hot
weather recently experienced has had a
further unfavorable effect on the radish
crop. With reduced imports from France,
it looks as though a surplus of radish will
be good property next season. The im-
ports in the six months ended December
31, 1916, were only 41,92.3 pounds, against
309,417 pounds in the year ending June
30, 1916,

VOLUNTARY SEED CONTROL,

[An oxtrnrt from an address by George 11.
Clark. Canadian seed commissioner, before tlie
American Seed Trade Association at Detroit,
June 20.]

Seed control, whether voluntary or
enforced by law, presupposes a condi-
tion in the commerce of seeds that is in
need of regulation in the interests of
agriculture and horticulture, or of the
trade itself. Seed control is now gen-
erally considered to be necessary in
most agricultural countries as a means
of self-protection, because countries
that are without seed control may eas-
ily become the dumping ground for
seeds of a quality that may not be
marketed in those countries where the
seed trade is subject to regulation.

The European System.

In the older countries of Europe vol-
untary eyetems of seed control grew out

A Big Demand for Pansy Plants
is Looked for Next Spring

It is expected that our American people will
follow the beautiful custom of our European allies,
who wear pansies to show that they have friends
in active service. This will mean a big demand.

Toole's Pansy Seed is
Carefully Grown

For 35 years we have been growing high qual-
ity Pansy Seed^ Toole's Giant Prize Strain is

the result of our painstaking labors. The flowers
are large, well formed, with pronounced color
markings.

Packet, 20c; Trade packet of 1000 seeds, 40c;
^ ounce, 90c; % ounce, $1.25; 1 ounce, $5.00.

This superb strain can also be supplied in
special separate color mixtures of Blues, Black,
Browns, Reds, Yellows, White, Fancy-edged Sorts
and Masterpiece at the same price.

stead of the slower process of educa-
tion that would naturally precede vol-
untary seed control systems.

In looking to future developments
in the commerce of seeds, members of
the American Seed Trade Association
would do well to carefully consider
whether they may be of greatest serv-
ice to themselves, their fellows and
their country by devoting their ener-
gies toward obstructing the natural
trend of the times, or, on the contrary,
to move in advance and help to mold
public opinion along lines that may
generally be recognized as being in tlie
best interests of all.

Two Kinds of Men.

The need for legislation to regulate
the commerce of seeds would probably
not have existed had the trade in seeds
been confined to persons who would
be accepted as members in this asso-
ciation. I understand that good busi-
ness morals is the first qualification
on the part of applicants for member-
ship. It is well to recognize, however,
that jobbing in the seed trade has
been and probably will continue to be
the privilege of people whose first in-
terest is not always the jiroi^er pro-
tection of agriculture.

It was at first a source of some dis-
appointment and worry to me when,
at the commencement of our efforts to-
ward seed control in Canada, I seemed
to be unable to convince a few of our
good seedsmen that a proper measure
of seed control was as much in their
best interests as for the protection of
agriculture. After twelve years of ex-

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 five large flowers
to a plant, when all other Pansies are only showing buds. The flowers are large, well
formed and fragrant.

of its colors.

MICHELL'S Z FLOWER SEEDS

the seedsmen. The production, prepara-
tion and distribution of farm and gar-
den seeds is an exceedingly compli-
cated business, to which the applica-
tion of impracticable law may easily do
more harm than good.

In the general circumstances of in-
ternational and interstate trade in
seeds it was unfortunate that prompt
service from legislative control seemed
to be necessary and advisable. Legisla-
tive control of the commerce of seeds
is now general throughout North Amer-
ica, and I would not now recommend
that it be dispensed with until such
time as something that is permanently
better be provided and finally estab-
lished.

A Promising System.

In my judgment the voluntary ac-
tion that has recently been taken by
representative seedsmen on the sug-
gestion of officers of the Department
of Agriculture at Washington, is de-
serving of the careful consideration
and wholehearted support of every
member of this association. The work-
ing out of the plans which thus far
have been given in brief in the press
will naturally lead to a national sys-
tem of voluntary seed control and to
the gradual elimination by common
consent of legislative control.

The seedsmen have been given good
reason to expect that they will be pro-
vided with reasonably prompt and ef-
ficient service from seed laboratories
made conveniently available to them.
I have good reason to know that the
officers of the Department of Agricul-
ture who are to assume immediate re-
iponsibility for that service, will have
10 bed of roses. They will need your
jvholesome cooperation.

The Seedsman's View.

Ten years ago this step in advance
toward voluntary seed control would
probably have met with effective oppo-
sition on the part of members of this
association. Perhaps there are even
now those who are considering this
new proposition from the viewpoint of
which in the end may be the lesser of
the evils. It is scarcely to be expected
that you may obtain relief from legis-

lative control that may seem objection-
able to you during the period while
progress is being made toward the
permanent establishment of a system
that will ultimately give better service
to agriculture, as well as be more ac-
ceptable to good seedsmen.

The legislation that now exists may
in fact be needed in the meantime for
the protection of legitimate seed trade
against the designs of unscrupulous
seed venders. Within five years this
system of voluntary control, now pro-
posed, will come to be well understood
in practice and may be made to pro-
vide the basis for the further better-
ment of the seed trade of a nature
that could not easily be obtained by co-
ercive measures.

Capitola, Cal. — At the Brown Bulb
Kanch it is stated that the rate at which
orders for freesia and calla bulbs come
in indicates that war conditions help
sales rather than curtail them.

Movmt Angel, Ore. — June 1 C. A.
Gerhard launched his ship of business,
the Mount Angel Seed & Floral Co.
Mr. Gerhard has a greenhouse and a
tract of land, and proposes to sell
flowers, seeds, bulbs, flowering and
vegetable plants.

ASPARAGUS NEEDS FRESH SOIL.

About fifteen years ago I planted a
house to Asparagus plumosus. The
crops did well for thirteen years; then
I had the bed trenched to a depth of
eighteen to twenty inches and worked
in a quantity of stable manure. When
this work was completed the bed was
replanted to 3-inch and 4-inch plumosus
plants.

The plants started slowly, although
I gave one side of the bed a sprinkling
of bone meal and later the other side
an application of lime. The growth,
however, was not so good and so rapid
as formerly, although the other condi-
tions were the same as in other years.
The plants receive plentv of water.

W. E. K.— Cal.

After growing Asparagus plumosus in
the same soil for thirteen years, the
soil would inevitably become more or
less soured and exhausted, and the
trenching of such a bed would bring
the sourest soil to the top. This un-
doubtedly is the trouble with the new
plants placed in the beds.

The only real remedy for such a case
would be to lift the plants and then
dig out the bed to a depth of eight to
ten inches, refilling the bed with fresh
soil before replanting the stock. The
sooner this is done the better. Al-
though it means much work, it undoubt-
edly would pay in the long run.

W. H. T.

LOS ANGELES, CAL.

The Market.

The scarcity of all kinds of good
stock continues, and both wholesalers
and retailers have had difficulty in
filling orders for good indoor roses,
carnations, valley and orchids. Even
sweet peas, not having gotten over the
heat wave, are scarce and poor. Cold
storage Easter lilies have helped out,
though outside of funeral stock they
are not much liked, nor in great de-
mand. Gladioli are selling freely on
account of the scarcity of other stock,
but even at that some of the colors do
not clean up. America, that good old
standby, is greatly in evidence, its soft
coloring making it suitable for any
kind of work, but some of the more
strongly marked gandavensis and
other hybrids clash with one another
and cannot always be used. Some
pretty combinations are worked
out in the retailers' windows with blue
and white agapanthus and delphini-
ums, all these lasting well.

Field carnations are thin and poor,
and there is little chance of improve-
ment in these until the young stock
comes into flower. Centaureas are fine
hot weather flowers, the imperialis
types holding their color much longer
than cyanus. Another fine hot weather
flower is the African marigold, the
large double yellow and orange forms
being fine for decorations of any kind.
They do not show signs of wear so
quickly as gaillardias and coreopsis,
and the objectionable odor common to
the older types is almost entirely ab-
sent. Spikes of single hollyhocks, too,
in the softer shades of color, make a
nice showing, and as the lower flowers
fall those higher up develop, making a
display over a long season. Greens of
all kinds are still plentiful and good,
but pot ferns are scarce.

Various Notes.

John Fincken reports an extra good
run of funeral work at the "Washing-
ton street store. Nursery stock is sell-
ing well and a good deal of landscape
work is being taken care of.

An enjoyable evening was spent by
the members and friends of the Los
Angeles County Horticultural Society

at Jahnke's cafe, June 23. President
Taylor was in the chair and introduced
speakers and entertainers, including
Mrs. McGillivray, wife of the treas-
urer, who was in good voice and re-
ceived several encores for her songs.

Ernest Braunton, for many years
connected with some of the older pri-
vate places here and well known as a
writer and speaker on horticultural
topics, has been elected to a seat on the
park commission. His knowledge of na-
tive and exotic shrubbery and plants
should make him particularly fitted
for the position.

Albert Goldenson, manager of the
Wolf skills' & Morris Goldenson store,
reports a good run of funeral work and
also several good weddings. At one of
the latter the interior decoration was
carried out in Shasta daisies, with suit-
able greenery. An old-time wedding
bell was used for a centerpiece and the
bride carried lily of the valley and
white orchids.

J. M. Grant reports that, in spite of
quiet times, there is still something
doing in landscape work. He has sev-
eral nice contracts in hand, as well as
some bigger things under considera-
tion.

Mrs. Beulah E. Patton, wife of M. B.
Patton, of the Patton Seed Co., Pasa-
dena, died suddenly from heart failure
after an automobile ride June 25. Mrs.
Patton had not been feeling well since
the extremely hot weather of a week
previous, but she had given no cause
for anxiety to her friends.

M. B. Patton, or "Pat," as he is
affectionately known to a wide circle
of friends, has the sympathy of the
trade in the loss of his wife. Always
bright and cheerful, bustling and
happy in disposition, her sudden death
is one of those terrible shocks to all
who knew her. Mrs. Patton was a
native of New Hampshire and in 1905
came to South Pasadena, where she
lived until the day of her death. A large
number of floral tributes were sent to
the funeral, which took place June 27.

William "Wienhoeber, son of Ernst
Wienhoeber, of the Ernst Wien-
hoeber Co., Chicago, is one of our vis-
itors this week. He evidently is com-
bining pleasure with a look into the
business end here, as he is keen on see-
ing what is going on. Mr. Wienhoeber
came out by the "way of the Grand
Canyon and will return by the coast.

All the wholesalers report a falling
off in the shipments to desert sections,
much of the business now being done
consisting of made-up designs and
sprays. This is getting to be an in-
creasingly profitable business and is a
great convenience to small florists who
do not carry much in the way of sup-
plies. As usual when the growers are
short of stock to peddle, the local de-
mands on the wholesalers have been
heavier and more consistent.

show a greater volume of business this
year than last. June was a good month
all around. Weddings were exceedingly
numerous and, while not so elaborate on
the average as in former years, they
were productive of considerable good
business. Funeral orders were a big
item throughout the month and counter
trade held up seasonably well. Pros-
pects for the last half of the year are
considered bright.

The stock situation has improved
since the last report, due principally
to a few days of cooler weather, which
has served to shorten the supply a
little. After the deluge of flowers
last week, the lighter offerings, while
still in abundance for the demand, are
a source of gratification for all con-
cerned. Even with the improvement it
is hard for the market to absorb the
supply at substantial prices. Good roses
are a little scarce, as most of the grow-
ers are off crop and replanting. Amer-
ican Beauties are noticeably on the
short side of the market. This makes
toward firmer prices on first-class roses.
Eussell continues to maintain its popu-
larity.

Gladioli are becoming more plentiful
from day to day and bid fair to dom-
inate the market in another week. The
average quality leaves nothing to be

desired and the demand so far has taken
care of the supjjly in good shape. Pan-
ama, America and Francis King are the
varieties most in evidence. Dahlias
come in for a sliare of attention. It is
much to be regretted that this flower
does not hold up better for shipping, as
it has so many otlier desirable qualities
and grows to such splendid advantage
in tliis vicinity.

Easter lilies are plentiful and many
yellow callas are to be seen. Lilium
auratum is beginning to appear, the
quality being particularly fine. Carna-
tions are in excessive supply, so good
flowers are hard to clean up even at
moderate prices, and inferior stock goes
begging at any figure. Good outdoor
sweet peas are well taken, notwith-
standing the wide variety of garden
flowers. Orchids and valley are still
a little short of the demand.

Various Notes.

Final details for the second annual
show of the Dahlia Society of Califor-
nia were completed at a meeting held
June 22 at the Palace hotel. It was de-
cided to give the show in the ballroom
of that hotel September 4 to 6, and to
spare neitlier time nor expense in mak-
ing it the finest exhibition ever held
in San Francisco.

The Florists^ Review

July 5, 1917.

The flower show committee of the Pa-
cific Coast Horticultural Society held a
meeting at the Hotel Whitcomb a few
evenings ago to make preparations for
the proposed show to be held in the
spring of 1918. Those present were M.
Poss, E. James, J. A. Carbone, H. Plath,
C. W. Ward, D. Eaymond, Fred Ber-
trand, W. B. Clarke, Walter Hofing-
hoff and John Gill. In order to assure
success for the show, it was decided to
guarantee $5,000. Already about $2,000
has been pledged. A committee on
schedules was appointed, as follows:
M. Poss, chairman; H. Plath, E. James,
C. W. Ward, V. Podesta, Fred Bertrand
and Frank Pelicano, the last three rep-
resenting the retailers. A committee
was also appointed to see about the
reservation of a hall in the civic audi-
torium.

The new store of F. C. Jaeger & Son,
at 152 Powell street, was formally
opened for business June 23. Besides
the many friends who called to congrat-
ulate him personally, Mr. Jaeger re-
ceived telegrams from Los Angeles,
New York and other places, extending
best wishes to the new firm. The com-
bination promises to be a particularly
happy and profitable one, as the son,
Fred C. Jaeger, Jr., is taking an active
part in the management of the busi-
ness, and Mr. Jaeger's daughter, Laura,
is to assist with tlie bookkeeping. The
force is further strengthened by Manuel
Gottelli, an experienced florist, who is
well known locally, having been with
Podesta & Baldocchi and more recently
with MacEorie & McLaren,

E. W. McLellan has gone to southern
Oregon to join his wife for a while,
who has been up there for some time
for her health.

Domoto Bros, are bringing in some
fine potted Lilium auratum.

Mark Ebell, the Sacrameilto florist,
was a recent visitor in the bay district.
He reported business holding up well
in the capital city.

C. Madvig, secretary and treasurer
of the C. Kooyman Co., Inc., is back at
headquarters after an absence of two
months, during which he covered a large
portion of the United States. He is
well pleased with the result^ of his
trip.

A. J. Rossi and Frank Pelicano, of
Pelicano, Rossi & Co., are both reported
to be convalescing. Frank Thatcher is
on his vacation. S. H. G.

PORTLAND, ORE.

The Market.

There was little business for either
the wholesalers or retailers last week,
owing to the summer weather and the
activity in behalf of the Red Cross.
There was an abundance of stock in the
market, that from outdoors coming in
quantities, but there was little call for
it. Funeral work has been light.

Various Notes.

During Red Cross week small red,
white and blue bouquets were sold by a
motion picture actress for $10. Pink
carnations brought $5. Such prices
made the local florists jealous.

Sunday closing again is being agi-
tated.

George Spencer, foreman for Martin
& Forbes, has been sick for the last
three weeks, but is recovering. It is
now reported that Mr. Spencer will

METHODS OF PROPAGATION.

[This is tlie second installment of extracts
from a paper road by T. D. Hatfield, of Welles-
ley, Mass., nt a moetinfr of the Massachusetts
Horticultural Society. The third will be run in
an early issue.]

Cuttings of evergreen trees and
shrubs, mostly coniferous plants, are
put in during the autumn and kept over
in a cool greenhouse or coldframe. The
same thing is done with cotoneasters,
evonymus and buxus. They scarcely do
more than callous during the winter. A
fair percentage may be expected to root
during the following spring and sum-
mer, but some junipers, torreyas and
taxus may lie over another year. Those
that root may be planted in the spring,
but it is customary to keep them in
flats until established, as the roots of
some are brittle, especially the yews
and torreyas.

EstablisMng New Varieties.

It is best to root all the forms and
variations from the type from cuttings,
especially the foliage forms of conifers,
as they are surer of retaining their
varietal character than when grafted.
Ordinarily the juvenile forms of thuja,
juniper and chamaecyparis, with acicu-
lar whorled leaves, give way in a few
years to the adpressed adult form and
sometimes quite extreme forms. If,
however, these juvenile and other forms
are rooted from cuttings they will be
likely to retain their individuality dur-
ing the lifetime of the plant. In this
way many peculiar forms of conifers
have been established and are now in
cultivation, but if grafted they are lia-
ble to take on the adult form or revert
sometime or other, either wholly or in
part. The dimorphic character of many
conifers makes it difficult to fix these
variations with any degree of certainty
and they sometimes break away. The
red cedar, as before stated, has at first
acicular juvenile leaves and later ad-
pressed, scale-like adult leaves. Now,
if it is pruned or gets injured the first
new leaves that appear are juvenile and
it does not resume the adult form for
two or three years, starting life over
again, after a setback, so to speak.

Dwarfing Plants.

It takes less time to flower a plant
from a cutting or graft than from a
seed, and at less stature. This fact is
often taken advantage of to dwarf
stock. A cutting of the poinsettia, if
taken in spring and grown, will some-
times reach a height of six feet before
flowering, but if a cutting is taken in
July it will flower at one-third this
height or less. It is a common practice
to take cuttings of flower stems of Cras-
sula coccinea and bloom them when a
few inches high, and the same can be
done with Sedum spectabile. The ordi-
nary garden phlox can be rooted from
cuttings and grown as a pot plant and
has considerable decorative value. Chry-
santhemums can be bloomed down to a
foot high, depending on when the cut-
tings are rooted.

Leaf Cuttings to Fix Sports.

Drop a leaf of a Eex begonia on the
sand of the propagating bed and it will
root at almost every leaf fork. This
suggestion has been taken advantage of
by growers of Begonia Gloire de Lor-
raine and now stock of this is raised al-
most exclusively in this way.

Leaf cuttings are often the only
means of fixing a sport. Sports as they
occur in chrysanthemums mean a change
in the color of the flower, sometimes half
and half. Generally the sporting does
not extend to the whole shoot, and
shoots below a certain point produce
normal flowers; so to fix a sport it must
be done from the shoot that produces
it. Sometimes one is limited to leaf
eyes, which generally root quite easily
and so the sport is fixed. The plants ob-
tained will produce rootstocks the fol-
lowing autumn from which can be got a
plentiful supply of cuttings. Rose
sports can be treated in the same way,
although grafting and budding may be
practiced with these.

President — Lloyd C. Stark, Louisi-
ana, Mo.

Vice-president — J. R. Mayhew, Wax-
ahachie, Tex.

Secretary — Curtis Nye Smitli, Bos-
ton.

Executive committee — T. B. West,

An Arboretum.

Acting on a recommendation in the
address of the president, the conven-
tion voted to have a committee ap-
pointed to work out a plan for an ar-
boretum to be maintained by the as-
sociation, to be located in some accessi-
ble place where the association can
hold most, if not all, of its meetings
after the arboretum is under way.

National Advertising to Start.

Following discussion of the report
of F. L. Atkins, chairman of the pub-
licity committee, an appropriation was
made as the nucleus of a fund for a
nation-wide educational campaign to
show the public the extent and purpose
of the nursery business in tlie United
States. This action is interpreted as a
turning point in the liistorv of the as-
sociation, which hitherto has avoided
publicity.

A session was given largely to dis-
cussion of advertising as an adjunct
to the selling force of the nurseryman.
W. F. Therkildson, advertising man-
ager of W. Atlee Burpee & Co., told
that advertising will sway public opin-
ion. Robert Pyle, of Conard & Jones
Co., West Grove, also urged the expert

Lloyd C. Stark.

use of advertising. Irvin F. Paschall,
advertising manager of the Farm Jour-
nal, said that nurserymen should take
advantage of popular interest in agri-
culture to sell nursery products.

A strong plea for the (levelopment of
amateur interest in gardening also was
voiced by Prof. L. C. Corbett, of the
Department of Agriculture. Professor
Corbett maintained that the nursery
business was suffering, l)oth aesthetical-
ly and practically, from too exclusive
cultivation of its ])rofessional side. In-
crease of amateur interest, he said,
would do much to encourage the devel-
opment of new stocks.

The funds for publicity must
come from the members, as the associa-
tion had a balance June 27 of only
$5,361, and the receipts for the pre-
ceding year had fallen $2,483 beliind
tlie expenditures.

Opposes a Quarantine.

Acting on tlie report of William Pit-
kin, chairman of the committee on leg-
islation, the association went on record
as unalterably opposed to the needless
and unjustifiable exclusion of all for-
eign nursery stock by act of Congress,
as is urged by certain entomologists.

It is expected, unless new activities
prevent, that a general conference of
all interests will be held during the

next few weeks. The committee "has
instructed the association's counsel to
consider the legal aspects of the matter
and to prepare the case for conference,
and we also have secured a scientific
adviser who will be able to inform us
as to the scientific aspects of the ques-
tions that will arise."

Export Our Surplus.

.V resolution pledged the assistance
of the association in restoring the dev-
astated area of northern France. A plea
came from Prince Poniatowski, of
Paris, urging that American nursery-
men send such stock as they can spare.
The letter said:

One can see tlironRh the Aisne Department
lots of small orchards with trees cut down at
ahont a foot from the ground and the upper part
lyiiiK there in full bloom, enough sap having been
found in the upper part of the trunk to respond
to the call of spring. It is a heart-rending sight.
Seeds for plants, vegetables and fruits are being
distributed, and the damage can be quickly
repairt'd. but it will take four or five years
before it can be yielding any fruit, and the trees
we can get from the south will hardly thrive in
our northern climate, which is something like
that in Vermont.

Business Matters.

While a good part of the convention
was devoted to discussing the affairs
of the association, including the fail-
ure of the new plan of organization^
with "additional" dues of from $5 to
$50 per member, to produce as much

Our peony list is not a long one. but it has been made up with great care
and with the idea of including only the best and most distinct kinds. We
believe we are offering a line-up that is really worth while, an assortment
representing the very best out of hundreds of varieties. We give ycu sorts
presenting a wide range in color and shade— coming into bloom throughout
the entire season.

Our stock is correct and unmixed, carefully rogued every other day while
in bloom. The price is for divisions with three to five eyes— and roots.

The Market.

The supply of stock underwent a
change during the last week, there be-
ing an abundance where before there
had been a scarcity. Eoses are in good
supply and are of fair quality. They
range in price from $2 to $6 per hun-
dred. Carnations hold up well for this
season of the year. Besides the quanti-
ties produced by local growers, thou-
sands are being shipped in, and out of
the whole some good stock may be se-
lected at low prices.
. The supply of lilies has increased.
They are now plentiful at from $8 to
$10 per hundred. Indoor gladioli are
of good quality and sell at $5 to $8
per hundred. Peonies are gone. New
outdoor stock includes sweet peas and
gladioli. The former are of good qual-
ity and sell at 50 cents per hundred.
Delphiniums, snapdragons, Shasta dai-
pjes, gaillardias, coreopsis, Canterbury
bells and phloxes sell well. ,,,^v,.

Tlie Market.

The supply in the market ii fait and
is sufficient for all present needs. The
demand is fair and steady, but not
strong enough to bring about a firm
market. Shipping business in ferns is
excellent.

Eoses are in heavy supply, but only a
limited number of the blooms are long-
stemmed. The supply of carnations is
decreasing and only a few are of good
quality. There are plenty of good Easter
lilies to be had. Gladioli have been
Belling as fast as they came in and more
could have been disposed of had they
been available. Among other offerings
are snapdragons, feverfew, cornflowers,
outdoor sweet peas, peonies, candytuft
and gaillardias.

Greens are plentiful. New ferns are
meeting with a heavy demand.

Various Notes.

Miss Laura Murphy, after attending
the Confederacy Keunion at Washing-
ton and visiting other eastern points
on her vacation, has returned home.

Among the recent visitors were A. W.
Herre, representing the Poehlmann
Bros. Co., Chicago, 111., and Herbert
Pennock, of Jupiter, Fla.

The annual meeting of the Cincinnati
Florists' Society will be held July 9.
Officers for the ensuing year will be
elected. C. H. H.

WESTERLY, R. I.

Mark A. Cassidy, superintendent of
school gardens, who was injured in an
automobile accident a fortnight ago and
has since been at St. Joseph's hospital,
Providence, is reported to be improving.

Conrad Schultz was a business caller
in New York and vicinity last week.

The fl*oral liberty bell used in connec-
tion with the recent Elks' flag day cere-
monies, composed of Key roses, lilies
and violets, was made by Farquhar
Smith.

Russell I. Sparks, formerly with S. J.
Beuter & Son, Inc., has enlisted in the
Connecticut field artillery. W. H. M.

Greenhouse Heating.

■^^"^■" ■■ ' — - ■■■■■■»

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

DEPENDS Olt STYLE OF BEDS.

I am planning to erect a small green-
house and should like to get the advice
of The Eeview's Heating Department
about the piping of it. The house will
be 18x36, with 6-foot side walls, each
containing three feet of glass. It will
be an even-span house, running east and
west, with a boiler room and potting
shed across the west end. I propose to
use hot water and shall want a tempera-
ture of 70 degrees in zero weather.
What size and arrangement of pipes
will be best for this house? How far
below the level of the greenhouse floor
should the boiler be placed, for best
results? H. M, D. — Tenn.

To heat a greenhouse 18x36, with
three feet of glass in the side walls, to
70 degrees in zero weather, we would
use three 2i^-inch flow pip^, placing
one upon each plate and the other two
feet below the ridge. For the return
coils place three 2-inch pipes on each
side wall and five under the middle
bench. In case solid beds are used, it
would be possible to heat the house
with a 2% -inch flow pipe upon each
plate and with six 2-inch returns on
each wall.

While a fairly good circulation may
be secured if the top of the boiler is
even with the floor of the greenhouse,
we would prefer to place the boiler
two feet lower.

"PIPED WITHOUT ANY SYSTEM."

We are repiping three houses which
we recently purchased, and which are
now piped without any system at all.
The houses are each 28^^x100. We
have a 35-horsepower steam boiler. One
house is used for carnations, one for
chrysanthemums and geraniums and
the other for ferns. I am enclosing a
rough sketch of tlio piping, so you can
gather some idea of its present arrange-
ment.

We had planned to run one 2-inch
flow through the gable of each house
and return with two 1-inch pipes under
each of the four benches. These flows
would leave a 4-incli main at the west
end and run to the east end. We should
also like to place a l^/^-inch or li4-inch
return under each gutter, to serve in
case of snow. Will this be enough pip-
ing in the mum and carnation houses,
where we want a temperature of 55 de-
grees at night? In the north house,
which will be used for ferns, we planned
to place two 2-inch flows on the pur-
lins, with the returns the same as in the
other two houses. Will it be satisfac-
tory to run a coil on the east end and
above each door? The houses are lo-
cated on a small hill and are entirelv
without protection. T. F. C— 111. ^

Remarkable Commercial Records

The past year has developed unheard-of commercial records for
the business interests of this country.

U. S, exports have reached the enormous sum of $4,000,000,000.

The bank clearings of our country were $260,102,653,054.

The tonnage in steel assumed the astounding figure of 40,000,000
(forty million) tons.

The year's earnings in freight and transportation of the railroads
ran into billions.

HORTICULTURALLY speaking, 1916 also made remarkable
history.

Cut Flowers and ) $70,000,000 to $72,000,000 (accord-

Greenhouse Products j ing to the best available figures).

These figures, we hope, will leave a generous and well deserved
profit for our numerous florist friends.

Our company takes pride in announcing that the year 1916 goes
on record as the world's highest mark in the sales of greenhouse
boilers. During the year of 1916 we sold direct from factory to user
the following boilers for greenhouse heating:

Kroeschell Greenhouse Hot Water Boilers 1,639,500 sq. ft. glass

Kroeschell Tubeless Hot Water Boilers 104,860 sq. ft. glass

Getting Down to the Real Facts
About Flues on Tubular Boilers

FIND out the actual inside diameter of the flues
on practically any tubular boiler that you know
anything about, and you will find they measure
as low as two inches and seldom, if ever, more
than three.

Such tubes choke down the combustion.

This is why.

The flames and gases coming directly from the
flre, contain a surprising quantity of half burned
coal, black sooty stuff, and also cinders.

The small tubes cool the flames and gases down
to such an extent that the sooty parts stick to the
sides of the tubes, or go up the chimney in black
smoke.

Such smoke is simply unburned coal or money
wasted.

The soot and cinders filling up the tubes, choke
the draft, causing more and more of the coal to go
up the chimney unburned. Sticking to their sides,
it also prevents the water from quickly absorbing
the amount of heat it should.

In comparison, look at those two big tubes in
the Burnham.

They are so large that the flames continue to
burn the gases and unburned parts of the coal
throughout their entire length. The rear combus-

tion chamber or space into which they lead, allows
a further burning.

|pv:--t;i. ■ '"•SV -

All this happens before the 4-inch tubes are
reached, which means that the soot and gases
are fully burned, giving off much heat otherwise
wasted.

The 4-inch tubes are kept surprisingly free from
cinders, because they drop to the bottom of the
rear combustion chamber, from where they are
easily removed.

You can plainly see that the big flues and the
rear combustion chamber are practically as good
heating surfaces as the fire-box itself. Also that
only the clean, fully burned gases enter the 4-inch
tubes, which extract nearly all the remaining heat
before they have a chance to go up the chimney.

In this Burnham Tubular, you not only have
tubes made of long-lasting charcoal iron, instead
of short-lived steel, but a size and arrangement
that produces ideal burning conditions for even the
lower grades of fuel.

There being no dead heat absorbing masonry,
the water because it surrounds all flues and the
fire-box as well, simply squeezes the heat right
out of the coal. At present price of coal, such a
heat squeezer means a big saving.

For further facts, send for circular of this new
Burnham, made at our factory at Geneva, N. Y.

turns, in the fern house; eight 1-inch
flows and three 1-inch returns in the
carnation house, and three 2-inch and
two 1-inch flows, with six 1-inch re-
turns, in the geranium house. If there
is no glass in the outer walls, the
amount of radiation in the fern and
chrysanthemum houses is not far from
correct. If there are only three 1-inch
returns in the carnation house, as we
infer is the case, there should be an in-
crease to the extent of not less than
two returns. However, the arrangement
of the pipes is decidedly faulty.

While 1-inch pipes may be used for
Bteam returns in houses 100 feet long,
we prefer to use l^-inch pipes in
houses of that length. For low-pressure
steam it will be advisable to use a
21/4-inch flow pipe for each house if a
single flow is used, but if it is desired
to utilize the 2-inch pipe now in the
house, a 2-inch flow pipe may be
placed upon each wall plate or on the
purlin posts. To carry a temperature
of 55 degrees in zero weather, we would
use eleven 1-inch returns if there is no
glass in the side walls, or twelve re-
turns with thirty inches of glass. In
case 11/4 -inch returns are used, we
would install nine returns if there is no
glass in the walls, or ten returns with
glass.

For 65 degrees in the fern house,
three additional returns will be neces-
sary. One or two of the returas may
be under each gutter, as piopbsed. It
is hardly feasible to carry the returns
over the end door.

PITTSBURGH, PA.

The Market.

The end of June usually marks the
close of the busy season for florists, but
the cool weather has kept stock in good
condition and business has been excel-
lent, which arouses hope that it will
continue for a while longer, for this
has been a record-breaking season.

There are still plenty of good flowers.
These, together with asters, which are
expected soon, and the early planted
roses, will provide the market with a
plentiful supply of stock.

Various Notes.

Several employees of various stores
started on their vacations June 30.

The McCallum Co. announced a pic-
nic for its employees at its establish-
ment at Harmony July 4 and invited
all of the Pittsburgh florists.

There were two heavy wind storms
with an accompaniment of hail last
week, but no damage was reported.

Edward Ludwig, son of E. C. Ludwig,
has enlisted in the United States Army
Hospital Corps and expects to go to
the front soon. He is a graduate of Cor-
nell University. Clarke.

WILMINGTON, DEL.

The Wilmington Florists' Club, which
was organized in March, 1917, held its
third monthly meeting June 25 at the
home of William N. Potter, Twenty-
ninth and Boulevard streets. The club
at present has no home and meets with
its members. After the business meet-
ing, an entertainment committee served
ice cream so long as the members could
eat. The next meeting will be held
July 30 at the home of J. Elmer Betty.
The club has proved to be of great bene-
fit to the florists of Wilmington.

PROVIDENCE, R. I.

The Market.

Last week brought material evi-
dences of the summer decline, and the
masses of outdoor roses gave the in-
door stock a veritable black eye. Fu-
neral work has fallen off. The month
of June, with its weddings, was, how-
ever, especially busy and afforded a
general clean-up for the season.

The June Show.

Roses and strawberries were the fea-
tures of the annual June exhibition
which the Rhode Island Horticultural
Society held in the ballroom of the
Narragansett hotel at Providence, Fri-
day, June 29, afternoon and evening.
The exhibition was far superior to sim-
ilar shows in several years. It was
originally scheduled for the previous
week, but owing to the lateness of the
season the date was changed.

One of the most striking exhibits was
of roses from Roger Williams park, of
which Fred C. Green is superintendent.
This consisted of nearly fifty varieties.
The long-stemmed roses from the Burke
& Burns Rose Co. attracted much atten-
tion, as did the spikes of gladioli from
Smith, the Florist, who also had a bridal
shower bouquet of marguerites and
roses with yellow ribbons. Opposite
the entrance was a novelty decoration
from Macnair consisting of a circle of '
glass with figures poised on the edges
fishing, or gazing on the crimson roses
which floated in the water. Asparagus
ferns and a center bouquet of pink
completed the decoration.

Another decorative table represented
a rock garden in miniature, set up by
T. J. Johnston & Co. (Ed Brooke). This
had a fountain and illuminated electric
bulbs, bowl of water lilies and masses
of pyrethrum, snapdragon, pine boughs
and other greens. In the center of the
hall was set a pyramid of boxwood sur-
mounted by the spreading cibotium
fern with Boston fern intermixed. Eu-
gene Appleton with a display of deco-
rative foliage plants and palms took
first prize.

The prizes were awarded as follows

The Florists' Review

July 5, 1917.

FORT WAYNE, IND.

The Market.

Business during the last week of June
was good, considering the intensely
warm weather and heavy rains. There
was a good call for wedding bouquets
and small decorations, but there were
no elaborate affairs. Counter trade was
slow and there was no funeral work to
speak of. Blooming plants met with a
fairly good sale for hospitals.

The supply of greenhouse stock was
equal to the demand, although the hot
weather has had a telling effect on the
quality of the carnations. They are,
however, exceedingly plentiful. Eoses
are in large supply. The quality has
suffered from the heat. Sweet peas are
deteriorating in quality. In outdoor
flowers the conditions are somewhat bet-
ter. Some fine gladioli are arriving
and peonies may be had in large quan-
tities. Irises are over for the season,
but there is much other miscellaneous
stock. Callas are in large supply, but
valley is scarce, and the prices quoted
are liigh. Orchids are in moderate sup-
ply-
Business during June more than came
up to expectations of both wholesalers
and retailers. Not only was there a
larger number of weddings than during
the same month of any previous year,
but the outdoor planting was heavier.
Stock of all kinds was of exceedingly
fine quality this spring.

Various Notes.

A. J. Lanternier & Co., Frank J.
Knecht, the Doswell Floral Co. and the
Flick Floral Co. donated flowers to the
Red Cross last week to be sold for the
benefit of that society. Miss Georgia
Alise Flick, of the Flick Floral Co., was
among the girls dressed in Red Cross
uniforms who sold flowers.

Mr. and Mrs. A. J. Lanternier cele-
brated their fifty-second' wedding anni-
versary Friday, June 29. In the eve-
ning there was a reunion of their chil-
dren and their children's families. Mrs.
A. J. Lanternier and Roy J. Brown won
prizes at cards. The house was elabo-
rately decorated with roses and outdoor
flowers.

The Doswell Floral Co. had some fine
Ophelia and Richmond roses featured
in a window display last week. They
report June a satisfactory month, judg-
ing from the standpoints of supply and
demand.

The greenhouse force of Frank J.
Knecht & Co. is busy replanting stock.
The men are cutting heavily of roses
and carnations. The company has had
an exceedingly fine spring business.

The Flick Floral Co. is showing some
excellent outdoor stock, including gail-
lardias, coreopsis, calliopsis, Japanese
irises and cornflowers. The store re-
ports a record business during the
month of June. " R. F.

which islthe BEST, way to kill weeds?

The old way has been by hand
weeding — paying excessive la-
bor costs several times during
the year to do the work.

But today owners of estates
and homes, as well as leading
railroads, municipalities, coun-
try clubs, parks and cemeteries,
maintain beautiful weed-free
paths, gutters, drives, roads,
tennis courts and rights of way
by the use of
ATLAS WEED KILLER,

One gallon of Atlas clears

600 sq. ft. for entire season.
Weeds die a few days after
first application — then no more
trouble for the entire year.
Compare with costly hand-
weeding, which must be done
over and over again.

Tell your customers of the
economy, ease and effectiveness
of using Atlas. They'll appre-
ciate it — and you'll profit.

It will pay you, in profits, to
stock Atlas Weed Killer. All
details on request.

kills weeds in lawns without harming
the grass. Ask us about it.)

ROCHESTER, N. Y.

The Market.

An unusual number of weddings and
funerals, coupled with school gradua-
tions, cleared a quantity of stock last
week. This class of work constituted
the greater part of the demand.

The market is filled with peonies. So
many are grown in this neighborhood
that the supply is greater than the de-
mand. About all outdoor stock is good
and includes some fine gaillardias, corn-
flowers, larkspurs, sweet williams and
Shasta daisies. Pink snapdragons and
yellow irises also are good and have a
large call. The only stock that seems
to be in oversupply is carnations of
the poorer grade, which clear only at
bargain prices. Good carnations sell
at $8 per hundred.

The demand for roses has dropped
and prices are low. Good fancy stock in-
cludes Ophelia, Shawyer, Sunburst and
Scott Key. Ward is a good seller. There
are many Harrisii lilies in the market
and the price is low. Outdoor roses are
reaching the market in large quantities.
Fancy ferns have been scarce, with a
small supply of daggers. The market is
well supplied with asparagus. Bedding
stock still is slow in moving and good
plants are offered at low prices.

Various Notes.

During one of the many recent elec-
trical storms the house of Charles E.
Sharpe at Sea Breeze was struck and
several boards torn from its sides. Mrs.
Sharpe and the children were at supper
when the house was struck, but were
net injured.

E. Kendig, of Oswego, and N. A. Hal-
laner, of Ontario, N. Y., were visitors
at the peony show last week.

Winfred H. Wilsoi has a new Chand-
ler automobile.

As advertisements for the peony show,
all the stores had elaborate displays of
those blooms in their windows last
week.

Harry P. Neun is growing some good
hydrangeas, for which he finds a ready
sale. He reports business as excellent.

William Dunbar, son of John Dunbar,
has gone to Harvard to take a summer

Peonies still are plentiful and move

purlins, because we know that the
flat surface of the angle, when
screwed to the bar, will hold the
bar against any slipping better
than a pipe purlin, with its round
surface.

And besides, if an angle iron
purlin is the best for a Full Iron
Frame house, it's best for a Half
Iron one.

This is a point we have been
pointing out to you every so often.
Sometimes of Cener.

The second no-slip point is the
way we securely bolt the column
fitting to the purlin; and then bolt
it hard and fast to the column by
bolting it through aud through.

With no slip of the bars, and no
chance of slip on the column fit-
ting, you overcome one of the most
usual slip-up points in construc-
tions that slip.

You know we go anywhere for
business. Or to talk business.

The one way for you to be sure that the Cypress you get was
grown in a region near enough to'the coast to possess the
MAXIMUM of decay-resisting quality is to refuse all
but genuine "TIDE- WATER" CYPRESS-and the only way

to know that you're getting Tide-water Cyprass is to insist (and keep on
insisting) upon SEEING WITH YOUR OWN EYES the REGISTERED
TRADE-MARK of the Southern Cypress Mfrs.' Assn., stamped ineradicably
in one or both ends of every cypeess board or timber, and on every
BUNDLE of "small sticks," such as flooring, siding, moulding and shingles. This is
the mark to BUY BY— now that every piece of the TRUE "Wood Eternal"

[Continued from page 48.]

interests elected the following officers:
President, D. S. Geddis; vice-president,
Jules Bourdet; secretary and treas-
urer, F. P. Maid.

The sympathy of many friends is ex-
tended "to Paddy Patton, of the Smith
Wholesale Floral Co., in the death of
his father last week.

William H. Kruse left this week for
an automobile trip east, which, no
doubt, will wind up in New York in
time for the S. A. F. meeting.

Ostertag Bros, put in a busy week
with funeral work. John Burke says
other lines of business have slowed up.
The trade will be pleased to learn that
Charles Ostertag has fully recovered
from an operation for appendicitis and
will be back at his post this week.

Walter Young, of the C. Young &
Sons Co., returned last week from Chi-
cago, where he joined the aviators at
Ashburn. Mr. Young successfully passed
the requirements.

Mr. and Mrs. Fred C. Weber left
July 1 for the northern lakes, where
they will spend the summer. Mr. Weber
is in search of better health. Fred C,
Jr., assisted by his brother-in-law, Ar-
thur Beyer, is in charge.

Joseph Wors, youngest son of Charles
Wors, has joined the navy. When last

heard from he was in Canada ready for
the trip to the other side of the big
pond.

Edwa-d Westmann, manager of Van-
dervoort 's flower department, says the
season was better than any other since
the department was started, and will
warrant an enlargement of the depart-
ment during the coming season.

Fred H. Weber has given up his
Boyle avenue store and all business is
being done at the new store, Olive street
and Taylor avenue. The new conserva-
tory recently completed by the Amer-
ican Greenhouse Mfg. Co., Chicago, in
the rear of the new store, is filled with
fine decorative plants.

L. L. Harter, plant pathologist of the
Bureau of Plant Industry, spent a few
days recently at the Missouri Botanical
Garden for the purpose of examining
the Texas root-rot fungus.

George H. Angermueller says that
seasonable advertising pays and that
his shipping trade this season has dou-
bled.

C. W. Bolgiano, of Washington, D.
C, son of F. W. Bolgiano, president of
the American Seed Trade Association,
spent a few days here last week visit-
ing the various seed houses.

W. H. Miller, of the A. L. Randall
Co., Chicago, called on the trade last
week. J. J. B.

The two insertions sold everything I
had. — H. M. Morris, Eantoul, 111.

SIITS 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. 1 measured individual flowers two
inches in djameter 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

These have been in bloom constantly since November.

SWEET PEA SOCIETY

MEETS AT BOSTON

The ninth annual convention oj the American Sweet Pea Society, held in
Boston July 7 and 8, brought forth an excellent exhibition from the commercial
growers and amateurs of New England. The society at its business meeting
also discussed some subjects important to the growers of sweet peas for the
market.

T^=^^^^|HE ninth annual exhibition
and convention of the
American Sweet Pea So-
ciety was held at Horticul-
K j^ tural hall, Boston, July 7
1^*-*^ and 8 and, although the
^jN^ season was late in Massa-
W9 ff^ chusetts as elsewhere, the
^^^==ii quality of the flowers ex-
hibited was high. The
meeting was favored by perfect weaker
conditions. For the first time in ^he
liistory of the society W. Atlee Burpee
& Co. had no exhibit, but local sweet
pea growers had more than 100 varieties,
occupying more than 2,000 feet of space.
Few flowers were in July 7 and those
were not of exhibition quality, but
nearly all classes drew competition
July 8.

George W. Kerr, president of the so-
ciety, did not have
his usual display
and the flowers
were much missed.
There were no dis-
plays by seedsmen.
Retailers who at
previous Boston
shows made nice
exhibits were con-
spicuous by their
absence and while
there were several
classes allotted to
them, none of the
splendid tubs o f
sweet peas, such as
were seen at New-
port and Bar Har-
bor, wore shown.

A Fine Display.

Many local grow-
ers who had planned
to have exhibits
did not show at all.
Increased food pro-
'luction, decre.aeed
flower production
and shortage of la-
bor wore mainly re-
f^ponsible. Further-
niore, the sweet pea
shows come at the
busiest season of
the year for the pro-
fessional producers,
but, after making
allowances for all
these shortcomings,
it was a magnificent
display of flowers.

The loading prize-
winners came from

the quality of the flowers splendid and
only a little inferior to those seen in
the open classes.

The judges of the exhibition were
George W. Kerr, William Nicholson,
S. J. Goddard, James Methven, W. N.
Craig, Donald McKenzie, J. Harrison
Dick, Victor May, D. F. Roy, W. C.
Rust and John L. Smith.

At the business session, held in the
lecture room at Horticultural hall, Presi-
dent Kerr presided. There was a good
attendance of sweet pea enthusiasts. In
the absence of R. M. Saltonstall, presi-
dent of the Massachusetts Horticultural
Society, William P. Rich, secretary of
that society, cordially welcomed the
Sweet Pea Society to Boston.

President Kerr made his annual ad-
dress and William Gray, the secretary,
made his annual report of the activities

of the society. Wil-
liam Sim, the treas-
urer, reported that
the financial condi-
tion of the society
had improved during
the year, there now
being a balance of
$296 in the treas-
ury. On motion of
W. A. Sperling, the
reports were ap-
proved and accept-
ed. The report of
the executive com-
mittee recommend-
ing that the fiscal
year of the society
begin January 1 in-
stead of July 1 was
■ adopted.

The Test Garden.
Prof. A. C. Beal,
of Cornell Univer-
sity, in charge of
the sweet pea trial
grounds there, said
that the finances
liad been cut to one-
fourth tlie annual
amount for the lior-
ticultural d e p a r t-
ment and tost work
for 1916, and as a
result all work on
annuals had to be
dropped. Some sev-
enty winter-bloom-
ing varieties, in-
cluding a number of
Australian sorts,
were planted last
fall. Just about the

time the plants started to bloom a leaky
gas main destroyed practically th.e en-
tire crop and no definite conclusions
could be drawn from the test made. The
university now is in a financial condi-
tion to go ahead with* the work, Pro-
fessor Beal said, and he hoped to in-
clude as many novelties as possible
among both indoor and outdoor varie-
ties.

Some discussion followed Professor
Beal's remarks and it was decided to
endeavor to have a delegation of the
society's members vifeit the trial
grounds at Ithaca during the flowering
season.

William Sim spoke of the prices
charged by California growers of seeds
of winter-flowering sweet peas. He said
he would not object to the high prices
if the flowers came true to name, but in
several of his large houses last season
not twenty-five per cent came true. This
meant a serious loss to growers, Mr.
Sims said, as the bulk of thjp flowers
were of unsalable colors.

Varieties Do Not Come True.

W. N. Craig spoke of another man
who paid $20 per ounce for his seed and
little of it came true to name. Secre-
tary Gray said he bought what should
have been Hercules from a prominent
seed house, sowed it in fall, kept it
potted, planted outdoors early and the
flowers were mostly those of Mrs. Cuth-
bertson, with some whites mixed in.

It was felt that the seedsmen should
exercise greater care in sending out

was voted to report the idea to the
executive committee for its considera-
tion,

A letter from the Merchants' Asso-
ciation of New York, asking the society
to hold its next convention there, was
read. Several members favored meet-
ing in New York in 1918. Mr. Sim fa-
vored Boston. It was finally decided to
leave the selection of the place for the
1918 meeting to the executive commit-
tee with sentiment favoring New York,
as New England has had successive
meetings at Newport, Bar Harbor and
Boston.

OfiQ.cers Beelected.

On motion of W. A. Sperling it was
voted to reelect the oflScers of the so-
ciety for another term. They are: Presi-
dent, George W. Kerr, Doylestown, Pa.;
vice-president, Edwin Jenkins, Lenox,
Mass.; secretary, William Gray, New-
port, E. I.; treasurer, William Sim, Clif-
tondale, Mass.

Secretary Gray stated that he already
had some interesting articles in prepara-
tion for the next bulletin and had the
assurance of a good annual bulletin and
that he felt that it would hold pres-
ent members and help to add many new
ones.

A vote of thanks to the Massachusetts
Horticultural Society for the use of the
building for the show and courtesies ex-
tended was passed on motion of J. Har-
rison Dick.

seeds. George W. Kerr said he believed
the California growers were doing their
best to keep and send out true stocks.
He had spent some time there recently
and had seen between 1,000 and 2,000
acres of sweet peas growing.

J. Harrison Dick spoke of the work
that the Eev. W. T. Hutchins had done
toward popularizing the sweet pea in
America and hoped it might be possible
to have a Hutchins memorial medal to
be offered each year in the same way
as the Eckford Challenge cup is offered
in England. Messrs. Sim and Gray
spoke in favor of such a medal and it

PRESIDENT KERR'S ADDRESS.

[The following is the address of President
George W^ Kerr in opening the meeting of the
American Sweet I'ea Society at Boston, July 7,
1917.]

As president of the American Sweet
Pea Society, I welcome the members
present to this, our ninth annual meet-
ing, and the third meeting held in Bos-
ton during the last five years. Those
members wlio, like myself, have attend-
ed all our exhibitions must have ob-
served, the great strides made in the
quality of the exhibits, tlie improved
methods of staging the flowers, and
year by year the many new colors and
varieties which are now exhibited.

Improved methods of culture are of
course responsible for the fine flowers
we now see. The day of simply sowing
our sweet peas in the spring where they
are intended to flower and cutting there-
from blooms to win cups or premier
honors in keen competition, is indeed
past. But, might I sound a note of
warning against growing our plants so
strongly as to induce coarseness of
flower? Although I admire large flow-
ers, I abhor any suspicion of coarse-
ness, as it immediately detracts from
the dainty simplicity of the sweet peas.

I regret that owing to the backward
season I am unable to make an exhibit
today. The plants which were being
specially grown for my firm in tlie
neigliborhood of Boston are only now
sh(P.ving a few scattered flowers, and
I am sorry that I am not tlie only ex-
hibitor whose plants are yet so back-
ward. However, we unfortunates must
hope for better luck at our next con-
vention.

Financial Condition Better.

The society is greatly indebted to two
of its members, who by their untiring

efforts assisted the treasury so mate-
rially last fall. I refer to Messrs. Totty
and Stalford. The thanks of the society
must also be extended to Mr. Morse, of
San Francisco, who in the fall of 1915
was instrumental in securing for us
several much needed subscriptions.

Since our last annual meeting we have
lost the active services of the moving
spirit of the American Sweat Pea So-
ciety, in fact, one who was instrumen-
tal in organizing the society, namely
Harry A. Bunyard, who served the so-
ciety in the capacity of secretary since
its inception and to whom we owe our
lieartiest thanks.

Your comniTtt^xT was, however, for-
tunate in securing the services of an-
otlier able and capable secretary, one
who knows sweet peas from A to Z, and
is also able to grow them to perfection.
We have not yet forgotten Mr. Gray's
sweet jieas exliibited at tlie last sweet
pea show lield in New York in 1914.

Tliat tlie sweet pea still retains its
]»ride of place as first favorite among all
annuals, can not be gainsaid. Had I
had any doubt of its preeminence, such
doubts would have been shattered dur-
ing my recent visit to the seed growing
district of California, wliere I had the
great jileasure of looking over from
1,000 to L',000 acres of this cliarming
flower. It naturally made one wonder
wiiere all the seed went to.

New Type a Winner.

The new type of sweet peas, namely
the early-flowering Spencers, is des-
tined to still further enhance its popu-
larity. In addition to its value for
winter flowering under glass, this type
will flourish in warm climates wliere
the summer-flowering varieties are al-
most valueless. For iustnncc, from sow-
ings made in Florida in late September,
the new early-flowering Spencers will
begin to bloom by Christmas and con-
tinue flowering until May. They are
also valuable for extending our bloom-
ing season in the north. I 'understand
that they are now being grown to the
exclusion of all other types in Aus-
tralia.

In closing might I urge the members
to assist our society by inducing their

Every subscription helps, and now
that we have our heads well above
water, let us with united effort make
what is at present a comparativeh' small
society a large and flourishing one.

Our thanks must be extended to Mr.

Gray, our secretary, for his unceasing
work on our behalf during the past win-
ter and spring; also to Mr. Dick for his
careful compilation of our first bulletin.
Messrs. Gray and Dick are aiming at
something more pretentious in our next
bulletin, and we must all do our best
to help them.

FLORIST

PREVENTING EXPEESS LOSS.

Max Schling's Plan.

During exhibition week last winter
the legislative committee of the S, A.
r. joined me in my efforts to secure
better shipping conditions from the
express companies. We had a meeting
at that time with three vice-presidents
of the express companies, for which
meeting I had arranged previously, and
they, after an hour's discussion, de-
cided to look into our complaints and
try to assist us as much as possible to
secure better service.

Since that time I have kept working
on this matter and finally, after several
consultations with these men, suc-
ceeded in securing a label, copy of
which I enclose. This label is good for
plant or flower shipping, and will be
sent throughout the country to be
placed on the bulletin boards of the
different express companies. In this
way it is made an official label.

The cost of the label is $1.50 per
thousand. Anyone desiring to secure
some should write to me, enclosing the
additional cost of postage, as the price
is net to us. They can be secured in

lots of 500 or 1,000, or in such quanti-
ties as anyone wants to buy.

Express Companies Cooperate.

This is not the only privilege I se-
cured. We florists told the express
companies that we would gladly pay an
additional charge to secure quick serv-
ice and would gladly pay for telephone
calls which this quick service at times
necessitates. The exprebs companies
cannot go into this matter on that basis.
The Interstate Commerce Commission
does not allow them to change rates,
even with our consent, and their sys-
tem does not allow them to incur ex-
penses for a shipper. To collect these
small items the companies would have
to go through the same routine as if
a package had been shipped. There-
fore, they decided to p^y the cost of
the additional telephone calls wherever
necessary.

I am willing to keep on working on
this matter, and I hope within a short
time to find a way which will insure
us against any unnecessary loss.

I will bring this matter before the
interested parties during convention
week in New York. Therefore, I would
ask any parties interested in express-

York during convention week. The
best way would be for the different
florists in the different states, or the
different florists' associations, to elect
a delegate, who would call on me and
work with me. The influence of one,
alone, never can secure so much as a
body of men, each one willing to do a

on working in this direction, we shall be
able to do some good for ourselves and
others in our business.

FAST WORK AT UNIONTOWN, PA.

The store of Stenson & McGrail,
Uniontown, Pa., was a busy place June
29. One of Uniontown 's prominent
citizens had died and Stenson & Mc-
Grail were called on for a number of
funeral pieces. Three members of the
store's force turned out the work shown
in the accompanying illustration in four
hours. Nearly all the flowers used were
grown by the firm, showing, as the pro-
prietors of the store expressed it, "that
even in our small town we sometimes
have to get a move on."

REASONS rOR CONSOLIDATING.

Announcement recently was made in
The Review of the purchase of the
Indianapolis retail interests of the E. G.
Hill Co. by Bertermann Bros. Co. The
following notice recently was given the
public in that city:

CONSOLIDATED.
Bertermann Bros. Co. E. G. Hill Floral Co.

To give still better service and prices; to main-
tain one of the best flower shops in the country;
to combine selling forces, to enable the public
and agents of botli firms in Indiana and sur-
rounding states to use fresh Cumberland flowers;
to promote the selling of flowers by wire; to
secure and give the same advantage of other
large local firms by merging; to greet friends of
both firms and show every courtesy possible, are
our reasons.

With the consolidation of interests
the number of first-class flower stores
in Indianapolis is reduced by one and
the E. G. Hill Co. is out of the retail
business, the Cincinnati store having
been taken over by Joseph Hill at
the time he established his independent
business. The E. G. Hill Co., Richmond,
now will devote its entire energies to
the wholesale trade, specializing in
roses and young stock in the novelty
line.

EOTARY FLORISTS CONVENE.

The question of charging for pack-
ing, the cost of fuel and war-time
prices of flowers were among the sub-
jects discussed by the assembled Eotary
florists at last month's annual conven-
tion of the International Association
of Rotary Clubs, held at Atlanta, Ga.
E. Irving Gresham, of the Dahl Floral
Co., Atlanta, was elected chairman of
the florists' unit in Eotary and Thomas
Joy, of Nashville, Tenn., wa^ reelected
secretary-treasurer.

It was recommended that the adver-
tising in the o&cial organ of the inter-
national organization be continued next
year and that Chairman Gresham and
Secretary Joy endeavor to have all
florist Eotarians contribute toward the
advertising fund. The secretary was
authorized to prepare a roster of the
country's Eotary florists and to supply
each member with a copy, to make for
accuracy in the exchange of telegraph
and mail orders. It was proposed to
appoint a sub-chairman in each Eotary
district, whose duty it shall be to so-
licit the interest and financial aid of
all members in his territory.

ILLINOIS FLORISTS TO MEET.

The fell meeting of the Illinois State
Florists' Association will be held in
the armory at Galesburg, 111,, November
6 and 7. President Pillsbury says the
intention is to have a big flower exhi-
bition as a side show for the public.

FLORISTS AND THE DRAFT.

The selective draft by which the
men who registered June 5 for service
in the United States army will be se-
lected is expected to be made soon and
the drafted men called to the colors
September 1. In the meantime Presi-
dent Wilson has announced the regula-
tions which will govern exemptions
from service.

These regulations which will affect
the young men in the florists' trade are:

Physical disability.

Having a dependent wife or child;
being a son of a dependent widow; a
son of aged, dependent or infirm parent,
or brother of a dependent orphan child
under 16 years of age.

Subjects of Germany and all other
aliens who have not taken out their
first papers.

Being morally deficient.

Being a member of any well-recog-
nized religious sect existing May 18,
1917, whose creed forbids participation
in war and whose religious conscience
is in accord with that creed.

Physical disability, of course, will
mean the rejection of the drafted man
whether he wills or not. Exemption
under any of the other provisions must
be claimed and will be passed upon by
the local exemption board. An appeal
from the decision of this board may be
taken to the district board.

It is certain that when President Wil-
son designates certain industries as nec-
essary to the maintenance of the mili-
tary organization, that of florists will
not be among them. Employment in
one of these industries, however, will
not be absolute ground for exemption.
It must be shown that the person seek-
ing exemption is necessary to the in-
dustry and cannot be replaced by an-
other person without detriment to that
industry.

I^IWING GRE5HAM

WITH Sia/i^ THE fLOR]

DOWN at Atlanta, Ga., there is a live wire florist, E. Irving Gresham, for many
years associated with the C. A. Dahl Co. Mr. Gresham knows nothing of sloth ;
he is busy every moment and he uses his head as well as his hands in his business. So
when the Eotarians held their annual meeting at Atlanta a few days ago it was only
natural that the local newspaper artist should cartoon Gresham as the symbol of the
Atlanta florists' welcome to the visitors. And it was much as a matter of course that
the florists in Eotary — 173 of them, also progressives and good fellows — should elect
Gresham chairman of the florists' section of the International Association of Eotary
Clubs. He says it will be his purpose during his term of office to get a florist into each
of the 127 local Eotary clubs not now so fortunate.

By the nature of his occupation, the
young man in the florists' trade, espe-
cially the growing end, will come near
the physically ideal for a soldier. His
employment in pure air indoors and out
and his activity make for good health,
which is a prime requisite among the
qualities of a good fighting man.

ROTARY FLORISTS CONVENE.

The (luestion of charging for juick-
iiig, tlic fost (if iuel ;iiiil ^v;u•-tillle
pricos of llowers were among tlic sub-
jects discusseel by the assenible<T Kotury
llurists at last inoiitli's aiiuuul t'ouveii-
1ion of tlie luteniatioual Assoriatiou
(if Eotary Clul)s, held at Atlanta, (ia.
1{. Irving Gresham, of the Dahl Floral
('()., Atlanta, was elected chairman of
tiie florists' unit in liotary and Thomas
Joy, of Nashville, Tenn., was rccdected
secretary-treasurer.

It was recommended that the adver-
iising in the oflicial organ of the inter-
national organization be continued next
roar and that Chairman Gresham and
Secretary Joy endeavor to have all
;lorist liotarians contribute toward the
.-idvertising fund. The secretary was
luthorized to prepare a roster of the
.ountry's Kotary florists and to supjdy
(\ach meml)er with a copy, to make for
accuracy in the exchange of telegraph
and mail orders. It was proposed to
appoint a sub-chairman in each liotary
district, whose duty it shall be to so-
licit the interest and financial aid of
all members in his territory.

ILLINOIS FLORISTS TO MEET.

Tlie fall meeting of the Illinois State
Florists' Association will be held in
the armory at Galesburg, 111., Xovcmlier
0 and 7. President Pillsbury says the
intention is to have a big flower exhi-
bition as a side sliow for tlie public.

FLORISTS AND THE DRAFT.

The selective draft by which the
men who registered June 5 for service
m the United States army will be se-
lected is expected to be made soon and
the drafted men called to the colors
September 1. In the meantime Presi-
dent Wilson has announced the regula-
tions which will govern exemptions
from service.

These regulations which will affect
the young men in the florists' trade are:

Pliysical disability.

Having a dependent wife or child;
being a son of a dcjiendent widow; a
son of aged, dependent or infirm parent,
or brother of a dei)endent orpliau child
under IG years of age.

Subjects of Germany and all other
aliens wlio have not taken out their
first ii;i|>ers.

Being morally deficient.

Being a member of any well-recog-
nized religious sect existing May 18,
1917, whose creed forbids participation
in war and whoso religious conscience
is in accord witli that creed.

Physical disaliility, of course, will
mean the rejection (.f the draftoil man
whether he wills or not. Exemjitiou
under any of the otlier provisions must
lie claimed and will be passed upon by
the local exemption board. An ajtjieal
from the deeisiim of this board may be
taken to the district board.

It is certain that when President Wil-
son designates certain industries as v.cr-
essary to the m;iintenanc(^ of the mili-
tary organi/ati(Ui, that of florists will
not be among them. Employment in
one of these industries, however, will
not be absolute ground fur exemption.
It must be shown that the persoti seek-
ing (^\em|itioii is neci'ssavy tn the in-
dustry and c'lniiot b(> replacc^d bv an-
otlu>r jiei-son without detriment to that

The Florists Review

July 12, 1917.

FLIMFLAMMING THE PUBLIC.

But the PubUc Wakes Up.

The daily newspapers, which hailed
the coal price fixing agreement pulled
off at Washington as a wonderful thing
for the people, one by one are coming
around to the view expressed by The
Beview in reporting the affair, that it
was not what it purported to be; that
it was in reality an affirmation of ex-
tortionate mine mouth prices and in no
sense a reduction.

The Chicago Tribune, which was one
of the papers that gave the "reduc-
tion" the biggest send-off, now declares
that ' ' the coal mine owners of Illinois
and Indiana still have the soft coal sit-
uation by the tail."

The Operators' Side.

May 29 the Tribune printed an arti-
cle showing that June 1, 1916, the price
of Illinois soft coal screenings at the
mine mouth was from 80 cents to $1 a
ton. It also stated that May 29, 1917,
the price of the same coal under the
same conditions was $2.75 a ton.

In an effort to make a fair statement
of the changed conditions which justi-
fied such an enormous increase in the
price of coal, George H. Gushing, editor
of the Black Diamond, organ of the coal
mine owners, was asked to say in what
particulars and to what extent the cost
of producing coal in the Illinois district
had increased. These figures are as fol-
lows:
Increaspd cost of labor, duo to increased

wages $0.oO

Increased cost of all mininj; materials 10

Increased cost of securing and housing min-
ers -0^

Total increased cost per ton $0.65

Accepting these figures at their face
value — and otlier experts say they are
much too liberal — the justified price for
soft coal at the pit mouth June 1, 1917,
was something like $1.55 a ton.

The price then prevailing was $2.75 a
ton, which gives an additional profit
of $1.20 a ton over and above that
reaped by the miners in 1916.

When asked to explain and to justify,
if possible, this addition of $1.20 a ton
on top of the allowance for increased
cost of production, Mr. Gushing hesitat-
ed and evaded.

'Terhaps they did it because they
thought they could get the money," it
was suggested.

"I guess that's about it," he replied.

Much Coal Is Stored.

The mine operators were hailed as
patriots for agreeing to a price of $2.75.
It mav be that the patriotism was
shown by their not raising the prices to
still higher figures.

No llorist lias been able to find a
place wlicre he could buy coal at prices
reduced since July 1, but even before
the conference in Washington, consum-
ers of coal were being urged to lay in
• at once their supply of fuel for con-
sumption next winter. To a large ex-
tent they took that advice.

Perhaps the largest distributor of coal
in Chicago reports that during June he
actuallv delivered in Chicago nearly

three times as much coal to customers
as during the same month in 1916. The
same report is made by other large deal-
ers. It is estimated that, on the whole,
more than one-tenth of the total supply
needed for consumption next winter was
put in the bins in June.

Public Stops Buying.

When the famous conference of coal
mine owners was held in Washington it
was announced in the newspapers that
a drop of from $1 to $5 a ton would fol-
low by July 1. That was followed by
the vitriolic attack made on the work of
the conference by Secretary of the
Navy Daniels and Secretary of War
Baker. Promptly, also, came an official
circular of the Illinois mine owners,
quoting prices which show no reduction
whatever.

The result has been that, to a large
extent, consumers have stopped buying
coal for storage. Dealers complain quite
generally that their delivery teams are
standing idle in the barns. It is also
true that large dealers are not storing
coal in their yards. There is an ex-
tremely small supply now on the ground
in Chicago.^ j^nd some of the largest
dealers are advising their customers not
to buy and store coal at present. They
are themselves waiting for the price at
the mine mouth to drop.

STOP MANURE WASTE.

Farmers are urged by Assistant Sec-
retary Carl Vrooman, of the United
States Department of Agriculture, to
make every effort to save the vast
amount of valuable manure now al-

lowed to go to waste in this country.
Assistant Secretary Vrooman estimates
that one-half the manure produced in
the United States is not used as a
fertilizer, there being an annual loss
of material worth $1,200,000,000— one
and one-half times the value of the
country's 1916 wheat crop.

"This is not a wild guess," he con-
tinues, "but a shrewd and conservative
estimate based on reliable statistics. It
has been found that each horse or mule
produces annually $27 worth of ma-
nure (as compared with commercial
fertilizers); each head of cattle $20
worth; each hog $8 worth. Calculating
from the 1910 census figures for number
of animals on farms, the total value of
manure produced is found to be about
$2,461,000,000. Recent investigations
by the Department of Agriculture indi-
cate that at least half of this great
wealth of fertilizing material is sheer
waste. In some good general farming
sections not more than fifteen per cent
of the manure produced is used. Even
in the most intensive dairy regions,
where cows are largely stall fed and
comparatively great care taken with
the manure, the loss seems to be ap-
proximately twenty-five per cent.

"This great war has brought home
to us Americans, as it has never been
emphasized before, the fact that we are
the world's champion wasters. With-
out making any comparisons, and sub-
ject to correction if it can be shown
that the facts are otherwise, I dare aver
that our $1,000,000,000 manure waste is
the world's greatest single economic
leak — the prize waste of the champion
wastrels. With commercial fertilizers
scarce, and some of them almost unob-
tainable, it would seem well worth our
while, in this juncture, even without
any reference to war conditions, to do
everything within our power to stem
this tide of loss, especially in considera-
tion of the fact that stable manure is
the best form of fertilizer known."

IRRIGATION AND BENCHING.

Too Much Water Harmful.

Early in the spring we promised to
have something to say about irrigating
the carnation field, having in mind the
need of artificial watering in case of a
repetition of last summer's absence of
rain. So far this season there has been
ample rainfall, at least in this section,
and there probably has been absolutely
no need for additional w^atering of the
carnation plants. Therefore, unless you
already possess a sprinkling outfit and
installed it after the planting was fin-
ished, to be used when necessary, you
will probably not have any. There are,
however, some of these systems in-
stalled, and to the owners of these we
want to direct a few timely remarks.

There can be no denying the fact that
a sprinkling system will prove a great

help in producing field-grown carnation
plants, if it is used intelligently. On the
other hand, it can prove just the oppo-
site, if a proper degree of judgment is
not exercised in using it. There is al-
ways present a great danger of overdo-
ing a good thing, and especially is it
true in this case.

A plentiful supply of water usually will
result in a strong growth, and the nat-
ural tendency is to give the plants all
the water they want. This probably is
the correct thing to do during the
months of May and June, during which
time the plant is practically made. Be-
ginning with the first of July, however,
the grower must begin to work the plant
into proper condition for lifting rather
than to encourage its growth. That
can only be done by withholding the
water and cultivating the field, and
that is where judgment will come into
play. If the plants have had an abun-
dance of water, it will not do to allow
them to go to the other extreme too
quickly, or they will begin to fire and

lose the lower foliage. Especially is
this true if you do not cultivate the
plants frequently; in fact, frequent cul-
tivation will prove of the greatest help
in keeping the soil in proper condition.

Condition Goes Before Size.

A large, soft plant will not transplant
well, but a well matured plant that has
been run rather on the dry side for a
few weeks before planting time, re-
gardless of the size, usually will com?
through without trouble. For this rea-
son we are always mindful of the
condition of the plants, rather than
their size, at planting time. Experience
has taught us that a medium-sized plant
in good condition for transplanting will
soon overtake a large plant that lingers
for several weeks before it really is
under way. It should be borne in mind,
however, that we are saying nothing
against a large plant which is properly
matured for planting.

The time is here to prepare the
benches for replanting. Do not lengthen
the work any more than is necessary,
as every day lost will mean just that
much less time for the new plant to
make its growth. Empty benches pro-
duce no revenue; put on enough men
to push the work along. If possible,
refill a whole house at one time. You
will find it much easier to handle a
whole house of newly planted carna-
tions than part of a house of them.
When refilling the benches, see that the
soil is well pulverized and that the
bench is properly filled along the edges,
and level the soil off nicely as you go
along. Place an inch of strawy manure
on the bottom of the bench before fill-
ing in the soil, and before filling make
sure that the bench will go through the
next season without breaking down.
There is, perhaps, nothing more vexing
than to have a bench give way under
a batch of high-grade stock.

GREEN APHIS ON CARNATIONS.

I am sending you three plants of car-
nations, one each of Matchless, White
Wonder and Alice, and would like to
have you tell me the cause of the spots
and streaks on the foliage. The plants
appeared to be healthy until they were
attacked by green aphis, but after a
few sprayings with a nicotine extract
this pest apparently was overcome, as
I found no more of the insects. The
plants, however, resemble those sent
you. Do you think they will come
through all right by benching time?

A. L.— Mo.

Those spots on your carnation plants
were caused rather by the punctures
made by the aphis than by the nicotine.
There is no reason why the plants
should not grow right along and make
fine plants by early August. We noted
two or three leaves with leaf-spot on
them. It might be advisable to go over
the field and pick off all the leaves that
show a trace of this disease. A hot,
sultry spell would cause the disease to
spread rapidly and endanger vour en-
tire stock. A. F. J. B.

ZOE LEADS THEM ALL?

A carnation which has been on the
market long enough to have proved
itself is Zoe Symonds. It is a variety
which originated with Henry J. Sy-
monds, at Decorah, la., but which never
has been, widely disseminated. Peter

Carnation Zoe Symonds Has Made Some Warm Friends.

Eeinberg has grown it in considerable
quantity for the Chicago market and has
sold the cuttings to a number of other
growers in various parts of the country.
Another grower who obtained stock of
the originator is Joseph Bancroft &
Son, Inc., Cedar Falls, la. George H.
Bancroft, secretary and treasurer of the
company, who supplied the photograph
for the accompanying illustration, says
that Zoe Symonds with them has proved
to be the best dark pink they ever have
seen, and they have tried practically all
of them.

The originator describes the color as
cerise. The average size of the flower
is from three to three and one-half
inches. The flowers are well built up
in the center and are carried on long,
stiff stems. It is said to be a rapid
grower and prolific bloomer. The va-
riety was registered with the American
Carnation Society in 1913 as a cross
of White Perfection and Prosperity.

BADLY INFESTED WITH THRIPS.

Can you help me out of my trouble?
As you can see by examining the en-
closed carnation buds, they are in bad
condition. Can you tell me the cause
and the best remedv? P. J. S. — 111.

ing cold weather, when conditions are
in your favor. By keeping them down
throughout the cool season, you could
keep the upper hand after warm
weather sets in. If the percentage of
good blooms is too small to be profit-
able, I suggest that you tear these in-
fested plants out and get your houses
ready for an early start with the new
plants. It will pay you far better than
to try to exterminate the thrips. Empty
the houses entirely and fumigate heav-
ily with cyanide gas. A. F. J. B.

If you will tear open one of your
buds, you will find a number of small
insects, known as thrips. They are
about one-sixteenth of an inch long and
about one-fourth as wide, and of a
light brown color. You will have to
look sharp, as they are quick to hide
among the petals. It would be useless
to start now to dislodge them. They
multiply so fast during the warm
weather that you could not hope to get
them under control before it would be
time to refill the benches with new
stock. The time to fight thrips is dur-

CULTURE OF SMILAX.

Please inform me as to the proper
treatment of my smilax plants. They
grew splendidly during the entire
^\•inter and some of them now are dry-
ing off. The remainder I propose to
transplant into another house, but T
would like to know if I should dry them
first. M. M. — Mo.

The smilax may be transplanted from
the old bed to tlie new one without
being really dried off, but young stock
from 3-inch pots would give better re-
sults, as the old plants may not start
off as evenly as the young ones and con-
sequently would not produce so good a
crop. A bed of smilax should have a
depth of six inches of good soil and
should be well drained, for after the
plants are established they require
plenty of water.

During the hot weather a light
shading may be put on the glass, but
by the middle of September the plants
should have full light, and throughout
the winter a night temperature of 60
degrees should be maintained. Syringe
the plants every bright day, otherwise
thrips and red spider are likely to at-
tack them. W. H. T.

Public Stops Buying.

When the famous eoiiference of coal
mine owners was held in Wasliiii<;ton it
was announced in tlie newspapers that
a drop of from $1 to .$.") a ton would fol-
low by July 1. That was followed by
the vitriolic attack made on the work of
tlie conferenct' by Secretary of the
Navy Daniels and Secretary of War
Baker. J'romptly, also, came an ollicial
circular of the Illinois mine owners,
((uoting prices which show no reduction
whatever.

The result has been that, to a lar<;o
extent, consumers lia\e stopped buying
coal for storage. Dealers complain (juite
eenerally that their delivery teams are
standing idle in the barns. It is also
true that large dealers are not storing
coal in their yards. There is an ex-
trenndy small supply now on the ground
in Chicago. And sonu! of the largest
dealers are advising their customers not
to I>uy .and store coal at present. They
are themselves waiting for the price at
the mine mouth to drop.

STOP MAlSrURE WASTE.

Farmers ,'ire urged by .\ssistant Sec-
retary C.'irl \'rooman, of the United
Stati's Department oi' Agriculture, to
make e\(>ry effort tn ^avc the \:\si
.'iinoimt of \;iliialde iiianiire now ah

lowed to go to waste in this country.
Assistant Secretary \'roomaii estimati*
that one-half the manure jiroduced in
the United States is not used as a
fertili/.er, there being an annual loss
of materi.'il worth $1 ,2(KI,(MM), ()()(• — one
;ind one-half times the \;ilue of the
country's lltKi whe;it crop.

"T'liis is not a wild guess,'' he con-
tinues, "but a shrewd and conservative
estimate based on reliable statistics. It
h;is been found that each horse or mule
|iroduces aniiuall,\' .$27 worth of ma-
nure (as compared with commercial
fertilizers); each head of cattle .$20
worth; each hog $8 worth. C'llculating
from the liUO census tigures for number
of animals on farms, the total value of
manure ]iroduced is found to be about
$2, 4(;i, (100,000. Eecent investigations
by the Department of Agriculture indi-
cate that .'it least h.alf of this great
wealth of fertili/.iag material is sheer
waste. In .-<omc good general farming
sections not more than lifteen jier cent
of the manure ]iroduced is used. Even
in the most intensive dai''y regions,
where cows are largely stall fed and
iom]iaiatively great care taken with
the manure, the loss seems to be ap-
proximately twenty-live ]ier cent.

"This great war has brought home
to us Americans, as it has never been
euijdiasi/.ed before, the fact that we are
the world's champion wupMit^.^ Witli-
fuit making any comjiariirons, and sub-
ject to correction if it can be shown
tiiat the facts are otherwise, I dare aver
that our $1,000,000,000 m.-inure waste is
the world's greatest single economic
leak — the jirize waste of the cham]don
wiistrels. With commerci.'tl fertilizers
scarce, and some of them almost unob-
tainable, it would seem well worth our
while, in this jnneture, even without
any reference to war conditions, to do
everything within our power to stem
this tide of loss, especially in considera-
tion of the fact that stable manure is
the best t'oini of fertilizer known."

tills true if you do not ('ultiva,te the
plants frequently; in fact, frequent cul-

Condition Goes Before Size.

A large, soft plant will not transjdant
well, but a well matured i)lant tiiat has
l)een run ratlier on the dry side for a
few weeks before planting time, re-
gardless of the size, usually will como
through without trouble. For this rea-
son we are always mindful of tlic
condition of the plants, rather than
their size, at planting time. Experience
lias taught us tli'at a medium-sized plant
in good coiulitioli for trans])lauting will
soon overtake a large ])lant that lingers
for several weeks before it really is
under way. It should be borne in mind,
however, that we are saying iiothing
against a large ])lant which is pro])erly
matured for planting.

The time is here to prepare the
benches for rej)lanting. 1)0 not lengthen
the work any more tliaii is necessary,
as every day hist will mean Just that
much less time for the new ])lant U<
make its growth. Kmj)ty bencdies jim
duce no revenue; put on eiuuigh men
to push the work along. If iiossiblc,
refill a whole house at one time. You
will find it iinudi easier tn handle a
whole house of newly planted carna
tions than ])art of a house of them.
When retilliiig the benches, see that tlic
soil is well pulverized and tiiat tlie
bench is properly tilled along the edges,
and level the soil off nicely as you go
along. Place an incdi of strawy manure
on the bottom of the beiudi before fill-
ing in the soil, and before tilling make
sure that the bench will go througii tlie
next season without breaking dowii.
There is, ])erhaps, nothing more vexing
than to have a bench give way under
a batch of higli trradc stock.

ZOE LEADS THEM ALL?

A carnation which has been on the

itself is Zoe Symonds. It is a variety
which originated Avitli Henry .1. Sy-

has been ^xidelv disseminated. I'ctcr

Carnation Zoe Symonds Has Made Some Warm Friends.

Reinberg has grown it in considerable
quantity for the Chicago marker and lias
sold the cuttings to a number of other
growers in various parts of the country.
Another grower who obtained stock of
the originator is Joseph Bancroft &
Son, Inc., Cedar l^alls, la. George TI.
Jiancroft, secretary ami treasurer of the

that Zoe Sym()iids with them has proved
to be the best dark pink they ever have
seen, and they iiave tried j)ractically all
of them.

The originator ilescribes the color as
cerise. The average size of the flower
is from three to three and one-half
inches. The flowers are well built up
in the center and are carried on long,
stiff stems. It is said to be a rapid
grower and ]ir(dilic bloomer. The va-

The Florists^ Review

July 12, 1917.

S. A. F. FOR NEW INSURANCE.

President Kerr Names Committee.

The spring of 1917 was recorded by
florists of the central states as a season
during which the elements, in the guise
of tornadoes and cyclones, set a record
for destruction of greenhouses and
stock. The cyclone which struck New-
castle, Ind., March 11, resulting in a
complete wreck of the Benthey range
of 110,000 square feet and severe dam-
age to the Lynch and other establish-
ments, was followed March 23 by a tor-
nado at New Albany, Ind., by the
furor of which one of the growers, An-
ders Rasmussen, was reported to have
suffered a loss of $80,000. Then came
the episode of wind and hail at Mat-
toon, 111., May 26, in which A. D. King
was the heaviest loser with $30,000.

Wind storms of other years took their
toll and then became matters of mem-
ory, but it seems that to last spring's
work" of the angered elements there
will be dedicated a monument, a monu-
ment in the form of a wind storm in-
surance for florists. For amid the
wreckage of the Indiana ranges was
born the movement on behalf of wind
storm, or cyclone, insurance, and during
the months since that time the agi-
tators have done much in interesting
their state leaders in the formation of
an association or company to insure
growers against losses by storm, with
risks such as growers have and with
premiums such as growers can pay.

To Report at New York.

Although the Indiana association of
florists has already prepared a consti-
tution and by-laws for an insurance
organization of this character, and has
even submitted the plan to the Florists'
Hail Association, with the idea of
having that body include wind storm
policies with its policies covering dam-
age by hail, it is probable that the
actual shaping of the new insurance
association will be under the auspices
of the S. A. F. That the S. A. F. now
is championing the idea is seen in the
appointment by President Kerr of an
insurance committee, whose duty it
shall be to study the proposition, inves-
tigate the policies offered by the va-
rious companies and report its finding
at the convention in August. The com-
mitteemen are E. G. Hill, of Eichmond,
Ind.; J. F. Ammann, of Edwardsville,
HI., and Anders Easmussen, of New
Albany, Ind. The last-named has been
the hardest worker in behalf of the
new insurance, probably for the reason
that he does not want other florists to
suffer as he did March 23, when, in less
than five minutes, a tornado blotted out
the work of a lifetime.

COL. GREEN WEDS.

Announcement is made of the mar-
riage of Col. E. H. E. Green and Miss
Mabel E. Harlow at Highland Park, 111.,
July 10.

Col. Green's chief claim to fame is
that he is the son of the late Hetty
Green and heir to her millions, but to
many florists he is known as the one
man who ever seriously proposed a trust
in the florists' business. Col. Green
established the Green Floral Co., with a
fine range for cut flower production, at
Dallas, Tex., while engaged in operat-
ing a railroad there. As with many
another rich man, for a time the flower

business served him splendidly as a
hobby and he mingled much with flo-
rists. This was just at the close of the
era of trust formation and Col. Green
thought he saw in the large corporation
idea the way to control gluts by the
diversion of the output as required, with
consequent large legitimate profits. To
the owners of several large cut flower
establishments in the middle west he
proposed the creation of a corporation
to buy in and operate the principal
ranges. At the time The Eeview ex-
pressed the opinion that a cash offer
might well be considered by anyone
approached, but that a proposition to
sell for stock in the trust would better
be declined. This was based on the be-
lief that the florists' business is not sus-
ceptible to the same rules of manage-
ment as are manufacturing enterprises
dealing with non-perishables and it was
accepted as sound advice and the idea
was abandoned by its promoter, with
some reluctance he said.

Col. Green is 48 years of age. He
had been referred to as America's most
sought bachelor and he has the quality
of making a friend and well-wisher of
every man he meets.

INSURANCE FOR EMPLOYEES.

A. N. PieTSoi\, Inc., Protects Men.

An action which is believed to be
unique in the florists' business was
taken by A. N. Pierson, Inc., Cromwell,
Conn., July 5, when each of the corpor-
ation's employees, numbering between
500 and 600, was presented with a life
insurance policy.

The insurance was secured by a
blanket contract made by the Pierson
corporation with the Travelers Insur-
ance Co., of Hartford, Conn. It pro-
vides for $500 of insurance for each
employee who has completed one year
of service at Cromwell Gardens, and an
additional $100 for each year until the
maximum of $1,500 is reached. A dis-

ability clause provides that in case any
employee is permanently prevented
from working he shall receive the prin-
cipal amount, either in a lump sum or
in installments.

The corporation pays the premiums on
the insurance, but each employee re-
ceives an individual certificate assur-
ing him that his family will be taken
care of in case of mishap to him. This
should give each employee a comfort-
able feeling.

A Large Establishment.

Cromwell Gardens are located in the
Connecticut river valley, two miles from
Middleton, Conn., and consist of more
than 300 acres. The corporation has
more than 800,000 feet of glass on the
place and the balance of the acreage is
devoted to growing nursery stock. Be-
sides, it has an extensive business in
landscape gardening. The place is a
Mecca for trade pilgrims from all parts
of the country.

A. N. Pierson, Inc., is owned by An-
drew N. Pierson and his son, Wallace R.
Pierson. That father and son have the
interests of their employees at heart is
shown by their action in buying the in-
surance, which must call for the ex-
penditure of a considerable sum annu-
ally.

FLORIST HAS OWN COAL MINE.

Florists who are now wondering
about their coal supply for next winter
have good reason to be envious of Fred
W. Arnold, Cambridge, O. Mr. Arnold
has discovered that there is coal under
his 20-acre establishment and will open
it and have his own coal mined.

Although Cambridge is in the center
of a large coal mining district, florists
there are having the same trouble as
those elsewhere — shortage in supply
and high prices. These conditions de-
termined Mr. Arnold to open his mine
and become independent of the oper-
ators, the unions and the railroads.

ODEN LCTrER^-A- KEADEEi6

ROT OF IRIS ROOTS.

I disagree with C. W. that shallow
planting is a remedy for the rot of iris
roots. In the first place, I do not be-
lieve it should be called root rot, but
crown rot; the plants rot at the crown,
and the tops drop off the roots.

Some irises are so badly affected by
this rot tliat it is not profitable to grow
them. Maori King is a good example of
this, and there are a few other good
varieties, when judged by their flowers
only, which are difficult to grow with
any degree of success.

If an iris grower selects the right
soil and a sunny location, he will elimi-
nate much of this rot evil; and I might
add that barnyard manure should be
given a wide berth. One severe winter
when there was little snow to protect
the plants I mulched them with strawy
manure, and the following spring many
of them died from this rot. I have
noticed this trouble only with the Ger-

man, intermediate and dwarf, bearded
varieties.

Iris germanica will grow well when
planted shallowly, often when simply
dropped on the ground. I dig a shallow
trench, perpendicular on one side, and
place the irises against the perpendicu-
lar side at the same depth they grew in
the nursery. If planted deeply all the
new plants naturally will form at the
surface, the same as the shallowly
planted ones. Just because an iris is
planted too deeply it docs not follow
that it will continue to grow that way.

I liave never seen Iris honorabilis
ailing from crown rot, and if deep plant-
ing causes crown rot, as C. W. says, why
should it not attack this variety in the
same way it does others? I grow irises
by the acre, and if I could escape crown
rot by shallow planting what an easy
task I would have! I believe that soil,
location and variety are the determin-
ing factors. Willis E. Fryer.

WHEN ROSES MUST MOVE.

How shall I care for my roses while
I am rebuilding the house in which they
are growing? I wish to replant them
in the same house. V. E. F. — Ind.

If the roses you refer to are in pots
they can be placed in coldframes, or,
at this season, they will take no great
harm if placed outdoors. If they are in
beds or benches I would gradually dry
them off and then prune them back
somewhat, later digging them up and
laying them in trenches outdoors. I
should have the beds prepared for re-
planting so that this work can be
started as soon as the framework is up
and the roof is ready for glazing.

SPIDER ON' OUTDOOR ROSES.

I am sending you some leaves taken
from my outdoor rose bushes. Will
you kindly tell me what causes the
leaves to curl in this manner and what
to do to avoid this trouble?

W. S. R.— Fla.

The leaves were rather badly broken
up when received, but they had traces
of red spider on them. To keep this
pest in subjection is not easy in a
warm, dry climate. The plants should be
kept moist at the roots artificially, and
if you have command of a pressure of
water from a hose, use the hose freely
on your plants. Use a nozzle with a fine,
misty spray and reach the under side
of the leaves as much as possible. The
pressure of cold water is the best cure
for red spider on outdoor plants. When
sprayed on the plants, some of the nico-
tine extracts will kill red spider.

C. W.

ROSES A SECOND SEASON.

I have two benches that were planted
with grafted roses, 1-year-old dormant
stock, last January, 1917. The varie-
ties are Sunburst, Ophelia, Lady Hil-
lingdon, Killarney, White Killarney,
Mrs. Charles Eussell and Richmond.
They are blooming finely now. Would
you advise me to rest them, and how
long? How short should I trim them
after the resting period and how heavy
mulching should I put on them?

E. C— Ind.

through the summer and probably
through next winter as well; indeed,
some of the large growers of Killarney
keep their young plants going without
rest for two full seasons. When the
time comes that the condition of the
plants shows that their strength is be-
coming exhausted they should be dried
off gradually and not so severely that
the leaves will fall; you do not want
the plants to become dormant, only to
rest them. The process probably will
require six weeks. After that they can
be cut back according to their needs,
the general tendency being to overdo it,
and an inch of old soil can be removed
and replaced with fresh. Water and
warmth will start them into renewed ac-
tion in a comparatively short time.

THE AMERICAN ROSE SOCIETY.

By-Law Revision Proposed.

An executive committee meeting of
the American Rose Society was held at
the City Club, Philadelphia, June 27.
A revision of the constitution and by-
laws, so as to allow for changes in mem-
bership fees, was discussed and it was
voted that the secretary should send out
notices of the contemplated changes to

all active members, that a vote might
be secured, as provided for in the con-
stitution and by-laws, before the meet-
ing in Cleveland next fall.

It was resolved: "That the present
rules for affiliated societies be revised to
make affiliation dues $1 per year for
each member of the society, provided
that payment of such dues be made to
the American Rose Society before Feb-
ruary of each year, so that provision
might be made for the required number
of annuals."

A report of the Washington Rose Test
Garden was submitted for the commit-
tee by Robert Pyle.

It was voted that a financial state-
ment regarding the society's exhibition
held in Philadelphia March 20 to 24 in-
clusive be prepared by President Ham-
mond and sent to all guarantors.

Mr. Farenwald presented the plans of
the National Flower Show committee
and asked that the American Rose Soci-
ety prepare a preliminary schedule of
premiums for the coming exhibition.
Messrs. Farenwald, Pennock and Ffin-
court were appointed on this committee.

Test Garden at Cornell.

The roses at the national rose test
garden at Cornell University are
now at the height of perfection, being
several weeks later than in previous
years. An outdoor meeting of the plant
industry conference was held in the
garden July 5. About forty members
of the campus community were present,
and the outing was most enjoyable.
Prof. E. A. White welcomed the mem-
bers of the conference to the gardens
and spoke of the aims and purposes of
the American Rose Society in fostering
the test garden work. He was followed
by Prof. A. C. Beal, who spoke on the
value of different species and varieties
of roses and described their location in
the garden plan. After a bountiful pic-
nic supper the party inspected the beds
and made careful observation of varie-
ties. E. A. White, Sec'y.

SEASONABLE SUGGESTIONS
FOR SOUTHERN FLORISTS

K?it7\-fir/TtirA-tirA-tit7Tfit7^iirA-TirAiirA-tirAiitr\-tiTr\^^

ROSES IN THE SOUTH.

There seems to be no need for resting
these plants at present. They had a
good rest prior to benching last Jan-
uary and therefore can be run right

Summer Treatment.

Notwithstanding the torrid heat un-
der the glass in summer, if rose plants,
both young and carried-over stock, are
properly attended to they make an as-
tonishing growth. One great drawback
in the south is getting soil with any
fiber in it, but in those sections where
Bermuda grass grows this difficulty is
overcome by placing thick sods of Ber-
muda turf, grass side down, on the bot-
tom of the beds. Here and there little
pieces may crop to the surface during
the summer, but as soon as cool weather
begins there will be no further trouble.

I prefer solid beds in the south for
roses, and there is no need to provide
artificial drainage if the soil naturally
drains well. The young plants require
much water to balance evaporation;
likewise spraying, five or six times per
day, to maintain a moist, growing

atmosphere. The danger period is
always immediately after a thunder
shower, when the sun comes out and
seems to shine with redoubled energy.
Then the ventilation must be quickly
increased, and the plants and walks
and walls sprayed and dampened down.
If this is not attended to at once, you
will find great quantities of nice young
shoots sliriveled up, because evapora-
tion is taking place more quickly than
the shoots can supply the moisture.

Things Not to Forget.

The plants should be tied up as soon
as they have made a little growth, and
they should be kept tied up from time
to time. In tying up the plants do not
try to see how many shoots you can
tie with one string. Tie the leading
shoots separately and just tack up the
blind wood off the bed. Tie so that the
air can circulate through the plant as
well as around it. This thing of crowd-

ing the plants close up around a stake
is sure to cause trouble during the
shorter days of the fall, because the
plants do not then dry ofE easily, and
the first thing you know the whole house
has a healthy crop of black spot. With
ordinarily good houses and intelligent
care and culture, black spot can easily
be held at a distance in the south.

In syringing the plants pay particu-
lar attention to the ends of each bed.
It is here that red spider generally

gains its footing. See that your hose
is long enough to reach around the
ends. All weeds must be kept down
and the surface of the beds regularly
stirred. Later a mulch of any kind
of old manure may be given. This will
help to keep the beds cool, prevent
evaporation and do away with much
of the stirring of the surface soil. The
top and side ventilators and doors
sliould be kept open day and night,
except, of course, during storms. L.

WHEN TO TAKE THE BUDS.

Kindly inform me when to take the
buds on these varieties of chrysanthe-
mums: Lady Carmichael, Duckham,
Mrs. O. H. Kahn, Mrs. Wells, Beatrice
May, Polypheme, Pres. Eoosevelt,
Amorita, Pacific Supreme, Wells' Late
Pink and Harvard. Please state, also,
the size, color, height of stem, etc. I
never have grown any of these varie-
ties and know nothing about them.

L. L. C— Wash.

The colors of the varieties and their
approximate heights are as follows:

Variety. Color. Ileiglit.

Lady Carmichael White .^Vj ft.

Duckham Pink 3 ft.

Mrs. O. H. Kahn Bronze 3 ft.

Mrs. Wells Bronze 3 ft.

Beatrice May White 2^ ft.

Polypheme Yellow 4 ft.

Pres. Koosevelt Pink 3 ft.

Amorita Pink 3% ft.

Pacific Supreme Pink 3 ft.

Wells' Late Pink Pink 3% ft.

Harvard Crimson 3% ft.

Take the buds on all these varieties
about August 20, with the exception of
Wells' Late Pink. Take the bud on
this about September 10 onward. None
of these varieties presents any great
problems as to culture, with the excep-
tion, perhaps, of Beatrice May, which
is liable to become infected with leaf-
spot and should be grown drier than
the average chrysantliemum.

TIME TO BENCH MUMS.

When do you consider the right time
to bench mums? S. L. L. — la.

Get your mums into the benches as
soon as possible. Benching may be
successfully continued until August 1,
but the late plantings will give blooms
inferior to tliose taken from early
planted stock. C. W.

MUM STOCK FROM FIELD.

I have been experimenting with field-
grown chrysanthemum plants and have
found the results so satisfactory that
it has occurred to me otlier growers in
favorable sections miglit be interested
in the process. Situated in Mississippi,
I transfer the cuttings from the sand to
the field in March, April or May. As I
am prepared to irrigate the plants, the
young stock makes a strong, healthy
growth, with an abundance of roots.
When the houses are ready I lift the
plants from the field and transfer them
directlv to the benches. I shade the

houses a little and spray the plants four
or five times for a few days. With
l^roper care, all of the plants will take
hold nicely. If it is not convenient to
shade the house, I pot the plants in 3-
inch pots and then shade them for a few
days, giving them plenty of space so
that the air can circulate freely. In
two weeks' time the plants are ready to
bench.

After the plants are established in the
benches I top them, and they immedi-
ately start a new growth. If I desire
two blooms I select the two strongest
shoots; if three blooms, the three
strongest shoots. Good field plants will
produce three salable blooms. Of
course, none of the three blooms is so
large as a single bloom from a plant,
but 500 plants will yield 1,500 blooms
instead of 500, and the returns in dol-
lars will be considerably more.

ALBANY, N. Y.

The Club Visits Slingerlands.

The anual visit of the Albany Flo-
rists' Club to the establishment of Fred
(Joldring, at Slingerlands, N. Y., was
made by automobile July 5. There were
a few absentees and, although present
in spirit, tliey missed the bully time
liad by the large number of members
wlio did go. F. A. Danker and H. G.
Eyres furnished autos for their em-
])lovees.

Arriving in tlio golden sunset, a tour
first was made of tlic farm, which is
evervtliing tlie word implies. Then
came a peep into the liouses, ending at
tlie potting shed, where the monthly
Ijusiness meeting was lield. The trip
was followed by a bufi'et lunch, to which
tlic members did full justice.

Inspecting the Place.

In making the rounds our host dwelt
on tlie necessity of specializing, men-
tioning that his establishment had be-
come known as a lioadquarters for snap-
dragons and calendulas. Another item
is the growing of 10,000 melon plants
from seed sown two in a pot, the seed
being furnished by a grower nearby,
who supplies a few leading hotels in
New York city. The figures given by
Mr. Goldring made his visitors desire
to be around when the melons were cut.

The melon crop is followed by Boston
ferns in pots, which are taken from the
bench, leaving the runners for the next
crop. It also was noted that table ferns

are transplanted into side benches from
flats, grown through the summer and
potted up for winter use. They do well
when thus treated. In chrysanthemums,
Oconto, Golden Glow, Bonnaffon and
Hamburg Late White constitute the
list.

Old Killarney still is a favorite rose,
with Ophelia as a companion. It is be-
ing debated whether it will not be desir-
able to grow carnations instead of roses
next winter. The probable lack of
azaleas is being forestalled by growing
such stock as Bougainvillea Sanderiana
and the like.

In outdoor shrubs, the two most prof-
itable for florists' use were given as
Spira?a Thunbergii and Hydrangea ar-
borescens. Many other items of interest
there were, but the meeting prevented
further notes.

The Meeting.

President John J. Haggerty and Sec-
retary Robert Davidson were in charge
of the meeting and did excellent work.

It was agreed to hold the annual clam
bake at Henke's grove, as heretofore,
on the same date as last year. The
price was slightly advanced in sym-
pathy with the general rise in the cost
of food.

Joseph Traudt, of Canajoharie, N. Y.,
gave a hearty invitation to the club to
hold its next meeting at his place. The
invitation was gladly accepted, the more
so when it was discovered that the date
fell on Saturday, September 1, which
is followed by Sunday and Labor day.
But Mr. Traudt was game and said he
would entertain during the three days,
falling back, if necessary, upon the fa-
mous Beechnut establishment. He fin-
ished by handing the name of his neigh-
bor, J. O. Graham, of Little Falls, as a
new member and his assistant at the ap-
proaching important event. Fred A.
Danker spoke for the September meet-
ing and J. H, Snyder, of Ehinebeck,
asked for the privilege of entertaining
in October, when the violets will be
worth seeing. He says the prospects are
rosy.

The only special exhibits shown were
some pineapples in pots, grown and
fruited by Master Fred Goldring, a lad
10 years of age. He promises to rival
his dad as a plantsman.

It developed, by the way, that the
worthy secretary, Mr. Davidson, has
held that office since the club was or-
ganized and it is on record that each
time pay day comes around the members
are obliged to insist upon his accepting
the sum agreed upon as i)art remunera-
tion for his services.

Proceeding homeward by the un-
oqualed light of Luna, it was agreed
that such visits compensate the florist,
even though lie has his cross to bear
during these times when, to quote Fred
Danker, ' ' everything savors of self-
denial in aid of the Red Cross," and,
added Louis Schaefer, "we seedsmen
suffer also, though it may look on the
surface as if it were all one would
wish." W. M.

Elyria, O.— The L. C. Hecock Floral
Co. is remodeling its store at 333 East
Broad street. Several thousand dollars
are being expended for this purpose.

OBITUARY

Philippe de Vilmorin.

The H. Frank Darrow Co., New York,
American agent for Vilmorin, Andri-
eux & Co., Paris, France, has received
by cable announcement of the death
of the head of the firm, June 30, but
no details are available.

The firm of Vilmorin, Andrieux & Co.
is one of the oldest and largest in the
seed trade in France, and of the highest
standing. The business was started
prior to 1745 and is known the world
around. Philippe became the head of
the firm at 30 years of age, on the death
of his father, in 1899. He had visited
most of the principal seed estal)lish-
ments in America in company with the
firm's representative, who before the
war made annual trips here. At the
outbreak of the war he tendered his
services to France and has since devoted
practically his whole time to the affairs
of various organizations and adminis-
trative commissions to whicli he was
appointed and on which the talents that
had enabled him to perfect perhaps the
finest organization in the seed trade any-
where in the world made Jiim an ex-
tremely efficient member.

George W. Hillman.

George Washington Hillman, secre-
tary and cashier of the New York Cut
Flower Co., New York city, for more
than twenty years, died suddenly of
heart disease July 6 at his home, 174
Franklin place, Flushing, L. I. During
the day Mr. Hillman had been at his
desk and appeared to be in good health.
Mr. Hillman was 53 years old and leaves

He was a member of several fraternal
societies. At one time Mr. Hillman was
manager of the growing department of
John Henderson & Co., of Flushing,

The funeral services were held at the
liomo July 9 and were attended by a
number of florists from New York city,
who sent many beautiful floral pieces.

As tlie gods and bad luck will have it,
the dull summer spell is ushered in pre-
cisely at the moment when there is
more or less of a glut of carnations,
irises, American Beauties and outdoor
flowers. The sale of some of the roses.

however, is fair, and orchids and valley
of best quality are picked up by the re-
tailers. Tiger and Easter lilies are pil-
ing in with a vengeance.

Frank Dulsky, of the Michigan Cut

OMAHA, NEB.

The Omaha and Council Bluff's Flo-
rists' Club recently was reorganized
and during the last three months has
increased its membership from eleven
to more than sixty. In June the club
gave the most successful banquet in
its history and recently a bowling tour-
nament aroused the enthusiasm of the
members. The club is planning to hold
a picnic, the date and place of which
have not yet been selected.

The annual bowling tournament was
lield at the Huntington alleys, Wednes-
day evening, June 27. The affair was in
charge of a committee composed of
Messrs. Larmon, Foster, Shafer and
Hines, who did their work well, every
detail being planned and carried out
perfectly.

Six 5-men teams reported at the al-
leys. Tliey were captained by Gardner,
Shafor, Clark, Bath, Foster and Mey-
er. Tlie competition was keen and in-
tense rivalry existed between the teams
as well as the individal players. The
team composed of Foster, Larmon, Rog-
er, Harding and Marz won first prize.
John Bath's team was second and the
Meyer team third. Individual prizes
were won by Foster, Meyer, Bath, Ha-
gardine and Harding.

The evening was so enjoyed by the
bowlers that another tournament is
planned for the early fall. L. L. L.

Crown Point, Ind. — Alois Frey, who

ness trip to California, celebrated his
forty-second birthday anniversary July

Bloomington, 111. — While supervising
the unloading of coal July 3, Frank L.
Washburn was thrown from the car by
the brake. Mr. Washburn weighs about
230 pounds and the fall fractured his
right ankle. He will be confined to his
bed for at least six weeks,

Alpena, Mich, — Miss Agnes Daoust
and Frank Hardesty, a florist, of Colum-
bus, O., were married at St. Bernard's
Catholic church June 26. The church
was decorated with Annunciation lilies
and the bride's home with the same
blooms combined with Ophelia roses,
all of which were grown by Mr. Har-
desty at Columbus and shipped to
Alpena for the wedding. Mr. and Mrs.
Hardesty left for a three weeks' honey-
moon trip to Minnesota and Canadian
points on the great lakes.

Oshkosh, Wis.— The business of the
Miles Co., established many years ago
by the late Isaac Miles, who came to
Oshkosh from England in 1853, was
transferred July 1 by the Misses Min-
nie, Sarah and iimma Miles to Robert
E. Pamplin, James E. Taylor and Wil-
liam Buchholz, three of the company's
employees, who will conduct the estab-
lishment under the old name. The sale
includes the store, land and green-
houses. Mr. Pamplin has been with
the company for thirteen years; Mr.
Taylor has been manager of the store
and Mr. Buchholz has had considerable
growing experience. The Misses Miles
have retired from the business.

"I anticipate the time when there
will be a woman's auxiliary to the flo-
rists' clubs," observed Mrs. Hazeltinc,
of the Hazeltine Flower Shop, Albany,
N. Y. "Now we have no voice, l)ut
as just compensation we receive much
information on woman florists through
the columns of The Review." The an-
nual outing of the Albany Florists' Club
was the cause for the above remark,
made by one of the foremost and most
esteemed woman florists in the capital
city.

"A hard nut to crack is to know
just what to grow during these un])recc-
donted times," observed F. I, Drake, of
Pittsfield, Mass. "For instance, we
never had too many S. A. Nutt gera-
niums until this year, when Beaute Poi-
tevino had the call. As we are not wiz-
ards, we have Nutt on hand, and we
shall hold onto it. Yes, there are quacks
in the trade, and it is up to us to make
our business indispensable," concluded
Mr, Drake.

Mark Aitken, of Springfield, Mass.,
was the first of his city to introduce the
idea of early closing and is firmly con-
vinced it is the best thing ^vet at-
tempted. "We have marked well," ob-

served Mr. Aitken, "practically every
condition entering into our business.
Regarded from both an economic and
social standi)oint, early closing is high-
ly successful. The two features noted
are the saving in light and the creation
of a more cheerful atmosphere." A
charming window decoration was noted
— a large bunch of larkspurs in an
amber bowl, which stood on a golden
plush draping. Satisfactory business
is reported.

The J. W. Adams Co., of Springfield,
considers this season to be one of the
best recorded in its long nursery ex-
perience. An exceptionallv moist
growing period favored every kind of
tree or shrub. Two choice specials were
noted, Daphne Mezereum, finely berried,
and a white climbing rose named Sil-
ver Moon.

George Sambrook, of Sambrook Bros.,
Troy, N. Y., observed that present con-
ditions are no joke, as his two boys had
enlisted, and they were the bowers of the
business. We must bear these sacrifices
cheerfully, thankful that thev are be-
ing imposed upon us gradually, fitting
the back for the burden, as it were,

Thirty-third annual convention. New York,

Kesults bring advertising.
The Review brings results.

Late as it is, bedding plants still are
selling.

Thk retailer with the original thought
is always a lap ahead of the other fellow.

It appears that Easter lilies planted
now will be good property when they
bloom.

With so mucli indoor stock in the cut
flower markets at this date, it seems prob-
able the supply mil be on the short side
at the time fall business usually opens.

The man with a surplus of bedding
plants probably can place them, a dozen
here and a dozen there, by a canvass of
his neighborhood. The trouble is, most of
us wait for tlie public to come to us.

Fred W. Arnold, Cambridge, O., says:
"The best sow bug trap I ever have
found is a flock of Indian Runner ducks.
They do not disturb the plants in the
least and are death on all classes of ver-
min. This trap is not patented and is
well worth trying."

CiiRYFJANTHEMUM plants have sold less
rapidly than usual this season, no doubt
due to growers having their benches full
of bedding plants several weeks after they
usually are available for mum planting.
In some cases the benches are not yet
vacant and interesting problems arise.

Many large growers are using women
for the lighter forms of greenhouse work
and are well pleased with the results ob-
tained. Properly instructed, women make
good greenhouse assistants, and they prob-
ably will take most of the places to be
made vacant by the draft. The trouble
will come at planting time.

WONDERFUL CROPS.

The government crop report, covering
the conditions of the principal crops as
of July 1, 1917, is an inspiring docu-
ment. It indicates that the harvests
this year will be the most bountiful on
record. Of all the crops reported on,
only one indicates a yield in quantity
less than the harvest of 19 IG, and the
one crop which is deficient is hay, a
commodity not nearly so vital as it was
before gasoline assumed most of the
burdens of the horse. Even wheat prom-
ises a yield many millions of bushels
greater than in 1916. The totals, com-
pared with the final production figures
of last year, are as follows:

Crops. July 1, 1917. Final, 1916.

Corn, bushels 3.120,000,000 2,583,241,000

All wheat, bushels. 678,000,000 639,886,000

Oats, bushels 1,450,000,000 1,251,992,000

erage July 1 this year, and the second

THE S. A. F. CONVENTION.

"Webster, he who wrote the diction-
ary, says that a convention is a "body
or assembly of persons met for some
common purpose."

Webster's definition exactly de-
scribes the S. A. F. convention, which
will be held in New York city August
21 to 24. It will be an assembly of
persons met for a common purpose.
That purpose will be an exchange of
views and experiences by florists of
the United States and Canada.

Without a doubt there is no business,
or profession, or trade, whichever you
may choose to term it, which has made
and is making greater strides both in a
material way and in the science of
production than that of the florist.
Each year is a year of progress and no
one man in the trade can keep up with
this progress unaided by his fellows in
the same line of endeavor.

Therefore, what can be of more help
to the florists of the country than to
assemble for a common purpose — the
purpose of learning first-hand of the
developments in their business from the
men who are making that development?
Such a meeting is a magnet for ideas.
It draws them through discussion from
the men who are best fitted to give
them. One learns from another and all
profit thereby.

Reports from the correspondents of
The Review already are telling of the
plans made_by members of the society
to attend the convention in New York
city. "Men prominent in the trade, suc-
cessful men, from so far off as the
Pacific coast are going to make the
long trip across the continent so that
they may profit by the experiences of
others and learn of that which is new
and that which is profitable in their
business.

The program for the convention has
not yet been announced. But it is
certain that those who are framing it
will be sure to provide features that
will make the journey worth the while
of eV6ry florist who is able to be pres-
ent. Besides, there will be the added

satisfaction of being a member of a
body of men who are met together for
the common cause of helping Nature
produce that which is beautiful and
which adds to the joys and helps alle-
viate the sorrows of existence.

PLEASE NOTE.

Each week a number of letters con-
taining advertising instructions reach
The Review 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 in-
sertion, discontinuance or alteration of
any advertisement unless instructions
are received by 4 p. m. Tuesday."

THEY HAVE THE PULL.

The pull of the trade journal adver-
tisement varies exactly with the pull of
the reading matter.

That's a nice, hard sentence to think
over.

But just consider this: The paper

bought for amusement is read for

amusement; that bought for the free

premium may or may not be read at

all; but the' paper bought because it

contains articles that really aid the

readers — The Review, for instance —

gets pretty close to the heart of things.

Real editorial worth is easily "sold,"

like this:

Please And enclo8f>d check for $3 in payment
of two years' subscription to The Review. Your
paper is a necessity in the business. — Dwight
Ludlow, Ludlow Greenhouses, Worthington,
Minn, July 2, 1917.

And because the pull of the ad varies
exactly with the pull of the editorial,
it is natural that advertisers in The Re-
view should report large returns, at lit-
tle cost, like this:

Kindly discontinue my ad and send the bill.
There is nothing like The Review for selling the
goods. Let me congratulate you on your good
service.— W. S. Kidd, Aliquippa, Pa., July 2,
1917.

My "want" ad for a foreman brouRht me In
touch with fifteen applicants. The Review does
the work. — A. P. Andrew, Miller's Greenhouses,
Muncie, Ind., June 30, 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.

CHICAGO.

The Market.

Considering that we are in the sec-
ond week of July, no one but Mr. Lugu-
brious Blue would call business other-
wise than excellent. Those whose mem-
ories or records go back to other Julys
do not expect that the business this
month will be as large as the business
of May and June, but if July finishes
as it has begun it will go on record as
the largest summer month this market
ever has experienced. The demand is
erratic, some days strong and other days
weak, but averaging considerably better
than in July of last year. City trade is
especially uncertain, the out-of-town de-
mand continuing fairly steady and
heavier than usual at this date.

The market is abundantly supplied
with flowers that are excellent for this
time of year. The quantity of stock
on the market is considerably heavier
than it was at this time last year and
the result is that improved demand has
not served to increase the prices.

American Beauty no longer deserves
first consideration in the market report.
Several of the largest growers have dis-
carded this oldtime favorite, and find
it necessary to buy from other whole-
salers to fill their orders, while nearly
everyone has reduced the space given
to Beauty. There still are good Beau-
ties, however, and they sell steadily,
though not briskly. The rose in largest
supply is Mrs. Kussell. A considerable
number of growers have mastered the
difficulty of growing this variety suc-
cessfully and there is much good stock
on the market. The warmer, brighter
woarher has taken some of the color,
but the flower, cut well develo])ed as it
is, makes an even better show than
Beauty, being much larger than any
other rose. Killarney, too, is disappear-
ing. In its place many growers liavo
planted Killarney Brilliant. Richmond
is nearly out of the market. Milady
being the red rose now seen in most
wholesale stores. At the momoit the
demand for white is stronger than for
any ether color in roses, because funeral
work constitutes a large part of tlie de-
mand. At the same time white is £:carc-
est, as in their replanting operations
most of the growers have discarded a
part of their White Killarney. Ophelia
has been the gainer in most cases and
this rose now is among the leaders, in
quantity, quality and demand.

There are carnations that should be
thrown out for replanting, but the av-
erage quality of the stock on the market
is better tlian older florists recall ever
seeing so late in July. Also, the supply
is heavier than it ever has been at
this date. There is a wide range in
values. The stock of certain growers
sells readily at $2 per hundred, while
the surplus, composed of the pick from
the plants that should be thrown out, is
difficult to clean up even at the street
salesman's favorite offer of 5 cents per
bunch.

Sweet peas also are holding out well
because of the cool weather. Some
splendid stock is seen. There are in-
creased supplies of cattleyas and neither
these nor valley can be said to be scarce,
although the sources of supply are few.
Fresh cut peonies still are coming in

and a few growers and wholesalers have
stored considerable quantities, so that
it is probable the peony season will last
until the middle of August tliis year.
Easter lilies now are in large supply.
Candidum has come from the south and
the crop in Michigan is nearly ready. A
few rubrums are seen and auratum is
due in a few days. Gladioli have not
yet arrived from local growers and the
southern crop has ceased to cut a fig-
ure. There are quantities of outdoor
flowers, some of which sell well when
offered in good condition, but most of
them suffer seriously in the packing.
Greens again are abundant.

Club Meeting,

The meeting of the Florists' Club,
July 5, was not largely attended, but
President Amling, Secretary Zech and
all the other officers were present. On

the proposition of holding a picnic this
summer the club voted adversely. A
letter from A, D. King, of Mattoon, 111,,
whose place was destroyed in the recent
cyclone, was read and Secretary Zech
was instructed to send an appeal to each
member of the club in Mr, King's be-
half. The New York Central railroad
was selected as the official route to the
S. A. F. convention at New York, the
train leaving at 11:45 p. m., August 19,
being selected.

The club voted to omit August and
September meetings.

Various Notes.

One of the interesting announcements
of the week is that Anton Then has
placed with Peter Reinberg the exclu-
sive sale of field-grown plants of the
former's new scarlet carnation, Thenan-

WE HAVE A FINE SUMMER CROP OF ROSES

You will not be disappointed with our Summer Roses. There are none better on the Chicago Market. Good quality
Carnations, fine for shipping, still coming in. We also have a complete line of other summer cut flower stock.

Shipping orders a specialty.

Order here— you can't do better elsewhere— often not nearly so well.

sold for the first time last spring. It is
explained that Mr. Then's stock of the
variety was planted out ou Mr. Eein-
berg's farm, from which grew the pres-
ent arrangement. Mr. Reinberg has
grown 500,000 carnation plants in the
field this summer in addition to his own
requirements.

W. J. Smyth and family are summer-
ing as usual at Lake Marie, Antioch,
111. Mr. Smyth drives the Pierce-Ar-
row to the store once in a week or two to
treat himself to the sight of all hands
hustling on funeral work, which is re-
ported as unusually heavy this month.

As indicating that it will be a long
time before this market will be short
of valley, even with no further imports
of German pips, P. C. Schupp states that
the excellent valley now coming from

the J. A. Budlong establishment is of
pips of the 1915 importation, the 1916
stock still lying untouched in cold stor-
age.

A. Miller, president of the American
Bulb Co., returned July 8 from his
honeymoon trip to Yellowstone park.
At tlie same time came a large shipment
of freesia bulbs from the company's
representative now on the Pacific coast,
the first freesias seen on the market
this season.

N. J. Wietor states that it was the
difficulty in securing day laborers which
caused his firm to undertake replanting
earlier this season than usual, every-
thing now being set for 1917-18 except
a few mums and part of the carnations.
The first roses planted already are giv-
ing a cut. The space given to Beauties

has been reduced one-half again this
year, the plants of it on the benches
now not exceeding 20,000. The space
taken from Beauty has been given to
Russell and Ophelia.

C. L. Washburn , who is visiting the
Bassett & Washburn brancli in Cali-
fornia, writes that he found the three
generations of the Bassett family resi-
dent there enjoying excellent health.
O. P. Bassett was 82 years of age
March 31. His grandson, E. B. Wash-
burn, now has three bouncing boys.
Mr. Washburn plans to start for home

Business has been spasmodic — a tussle
between tlie quieting influence of sum-
mer days and the bolstering effect of
large funerals.

Tlie quality of roses has taken a to-
boggan all along the line, though per-
haps an exception should be made of
Russell and Francis Scott Key. Carna-
tions are more than plentiful, but tlie
warm weather has made for a reduction
in the size of the blooms. Irises, both
yellow and lavender, are at the height
of their popularity. Sweet peas are
short and small; only occasionally do
first-grade blooms arrive. Delphiniums
and cornflowers meet with a good sale.

The Market.

The scarcity of really good flowers is
as marked as the scarcity ^f orders.
There is a certain amount or business,
quite as much as usual in the middle of
July, and there is a little good material
and more that is fair to middling. East-
er lilies are in strong supply. There are
lots of good lilies, enough to meet all
demands and to spare. Other fine flow-
ers are not so well off. Whenever the
big buyers have something on, which
happens every now and then, they have
to be on the alert to secure the stock.
Eoses are next to lilies in strength of
supply. Eastern Beauties, Kussell,
Prima Donna, Kaiserin and Maryland
are the best. Then come gladioli, most-
ly outdoor grown, in all the well-known
varieties. Orchids and valley are both
in light supply. There are a few fine
carnations besides Mrs. C. W. Ward and
Matchless. Some White Enchantress
and White Perfection are offered that
are worth while. Early asters are not
yet coming into town in any numbers.
There are some fine delphiniums, laven-
der and white candytuft, and pyre-
thrums are overabundant. There are not
many sweet peas and they are not of
much use now.

At the Spring.

There is a really beautiful woodland
scene in the handsome show window of
J. J. Habermehl's Sons at the Bellevue-
Stratford. The center of the window is
filled by a small cascade of water flow-
ing over rocks into a pool. The pool is
filled with goldfish that feed content-
edly in the foreground right in the thor-
oughfare, separated from it only by the
plate glass of the window. Nearby are
rocks and fungus-covered logs and
ferns, with water hyacinths growing in
the pond just as though they had come
there naturally and expected to make
their home right there always. Boston
ferns and davallias are brightened by a

few choice crotons. The window is the
work of Walter Van den Hengle, the art-
ist who arranged the famous rose gar-
den at the National Kose Festival.

Coal.

A representative of one of our larg-
est florists visited the coal regions of
central Pennsylvania last week to see
what prospects there were for a supply
of fuel. He went carefully over the
ground, talked with the operators and
miners and used his eyes intelligently.
He came to the conclusion that the pros-
pects of getting anthracite coal are
much better than the prospects of get-

ting bituminous coal. He also believes
that to get anthracite coal this season
it will be necessary to pay a price. The
buyer who is willing to pay, he thinks,
will have no trouble in getting coal
now; later it may or may not be more
diflicult.

. They Didn't Stay Sold.

A good story is told of one especially
dull summer morning, when a crowd of
hot salesmen gathered for a moment at
William J. Baker's. Things were bad.
The usually successful salesmen, who
make out big slips recording their flow-
er sales, each admitted one after the

following the improved early blooming
Spencer sweet peas at Fordhook.

Charles A. Brookley, for many years
with Frank R. Hastings, died recently
after a long illness at his home in Ger-

Robert Craig suffered a loss in the
death of his son-in-law, which occurred
last week.

Fred W. Cowperthwaite, Pennsyl-
vania state vice-president of the B. A.

florists to join the national society to
secure much needed action for the gen-
eral welfare at* this critical time. Mr.
Cowperthwaite urges the importance of
attending the New York meeting Au-
gust 21 to 24.

Paul Berkowitz believes that the mid-
season meetings of the S.' A. F., when
held in centrally located cities, give ex-
hibitors a better chance than the early
spring meetings held in connection with
the national flower shows.

Leo Niessen is visiting the growers.

William J. Young, Jr., has moved his

The Market.

There was plenty of stock last week
to meet the demand, which was light.
Quality was far from good and the
prices were low. Roses, with few excep-
tions, were small and weak-stemmed.
These sold as low as $2.50 per thousand.
The bulk of the arrivals sold from this
low figure to $1 per hundred. The few
first-class arrivals sold at the usual fig-
ures.

American Beauties showed improve-
ment in quality. Quantities of outdoor
roses are arriving, mostly Crimson Ram-
blers and Dorothy Perkins. Jacquemi-
nots are done. One firm handled more
than 60,000 of them in one day. The
average price was 50 cents per hundred.
Large shipments of carnations still are
arriving. The bulk sold at 25 cents
per hundred July 7- The best carna-
tions last week did not realize more
than $1.50 per hundred.

Good gigas were scarce and were sell-
ing at from 50 cents to 60 cents each
July 7. Other orchids were abundant
and sold at low prices. Valley con-

Club Meeting.

The special meeting of the Florists'
Club, held July 9, drew an attendance
of nearly 100. President Stumpp was
in the chair.

Considerable discussion followed the
reading of the minutes of the last meet-
ing, participated in by F. R. Pierson,
W. A. Manda, Arthur Herrington,
Henry Weston and others. A motion
to reconsider the action with regard to
convention entertainment, proposed by
W. A. Manda, was defeated. A good
deal o-f independent entertainment ap-
parently is planned. Reports indicate a
large attendance at the convention.

A. L. Miller announced considerable
space in the Grand Central Palace still
available for trade exhibits and Secre-
tary Young reported 10,000 square feet
sold in the Convention Garden and 40,-
000 square feet remaining. He sug-
gested an excellent opportunity for the
retail florists to make artistic plant-
ings. W. A. Manda referred to his in-
terview with Dr. Britton, who expressed
disappointment at the small space al-
lotted by the committee and gave a
promise of yearly opportunity for ex-
hibitors desiring space in Bronx park
for individual planting.

was most beneficial, as the stock is
larger and better than usual. Long
spikes of larkspur are seen in both light
and dark blue. They clear well, at low
prices. Gaillardias, coreopsis, sweet
Williams, Shasta daisies and syringas
are more than plentiful and are used ex-
tensively in window displays. Quan-
tities of America gladioli arrive daily
and clear nicely. Bachelor 's buttons are
in fair demand, but most of the stores
are glutted with outdoor roses.

Tlie daily shipments of roses arrive
in fine condition. Ophelia, Hoosier,
Beaut V and Sunburst apparently are
the best sellers, with American Beau-
ties moving slowly, at low figures. The
supply of carnations continues to be
large' and there are many inferior
blooms. Good stock brings $2 per hun-
dred. There still is an ovorsupply of
Easter lilies, the demand being weak.
Snapdragons and gypsopliilas are used
largelv in ])asket and vase work. Good
Asi)ar:igus jilumosus and Sprengeri are
in livelv demand, and tlie market is well
taken care of. New fancy and dagger
ferns sell well.

F. Bannister, of Bannister Bros., of
Syracuse, and George McCallum, of the
McCallum Co., Pittsburgh, called on
the trade this week. They report good
business.

P. Rylott, of Thurston road, who a
short time ago purcliased the Campbell
Greenhouses, says that business is sat-
isfactory. He has sent in exceptionally
fine betiding stock.

tions are favorable they expect to plant
fifty acres more. The hardy stock is
doing specially well. Cosmos, calen-
dulas, phloxes, etc., are coming along
finely. Their tractors are working both
day and night. The vegetable crop
looks promising, including acres of car-
rots, beans, potatoes and spinach.

White Bros., of Medina, are shipping
good Harrisii lilies to the city market.

Miss Tessie Whitman, of Wilson's, is
spending a three week^' vacation at the

H. J. H.

CINCINNATI.

The Market.

Business is fair for this period of the
summer, but stock is so abundant that
prices have reached a low level, and
few high-grade blooms are available.
Roses are too plentiful and the majority
are short-stemmed. Carnations are at
the end of their season, the few good
ones obtainable being rather small.
There are many Easter lilies and the
receipts of outdoor stock include excel-
lent sweet peas. Gladioli experience a
good sale, despite the liberal supplies
of snapdragons, rubrum lilies, gail-
lardias and heliopsis.

New ferns and leucothoe have a
heavy call and the shipping business in
greens is excellent. —

Various Notes.

C. E. Ruch, of Richmond, Tnd., and
Charles A. Bower, of Dayton, O., each
motored to this city last week.

C. E. Critchell has been having a
large sale of his new leucothoe.

The William Murphy Co. had a large
run on its home-grown gladioli last
week.

William Mayhall has returned from
St. Louis. He says the party had a
pleasant trip.

Among other visitors were J. Inge, of
the Charleston Cut Flower & Plant Co.,
Charleston, W. Va., and Joseph Marks,
representing A. Hender'?5on & Co., Chi-
cago. C. H. H.

Punxsutawney, Pa. — V. E. Carr, pro-
prietor of the East End Greenhouse,
says that his trade has grown so that
he will double the capacity of his estab-
lishment in preparation for next sea-
son 's business. Sales of Memorial day
stock and bedding and vegetable plants
were double those of last year. Mr. Carr
says he turned down enough business to
build a 50-foot addition and a 150-foot
house, so he is going to increase his
range just that much.

The Market.

There is little of an encouraging na-
ture to say about' the cut flower busi-
ness at present. The bottom appears to
have completely dropped out of busi-
ness, and the vv^holesale markets and the
stores are dull. Supplies are steadily
declining, but far too many flowers are
arriving for the limited demand. Out-
side of funeral work there is little or no
demand for flowers, and these condi-
tions may continue during the heated
period. Roses continue abundant. Many
are sold as low as $2.50 per thou-
sand. Carnations continue of good
quality, Matchless being specially fine,
also Alice, Benora and xYIbert Roper.
Prices rule low. Sweet peas are now all
from outdoors; the good flowers sell
quite well. Cattleyas are somewhat
scarce, but the demand is feeble. Gladi-
oli are abundant, but the sales are slow.
Lilies are hard to move. A few asters
have appeared, but they will not sell so
early in the season. Peonies are of tlie
past; it has been a short and unsatisfac-
tory season for them. Delpliiniums now
are in their glory. They are unquestion-
ably the most beautiful of our hardy
perennials, all colors being exquisite,
and they are fine at this season for win-
dow decorations. The bedding plant
trade now is practically over for the
season.

Various Notes.

William Sim, of Cliftondale, has sev-
eral fine houses of Comet tomatoes from
which he has just started to pick. The
sweet peas have been pulled out and
their place occupied by asters. Sweet
Corn Early Cory occupies one field and
is always a profitable crop. Seeds are
started under glass.

Mrs. E. K. Farr, of Stoneham, had
a successful season with sweet peas un-
der glass, liaving tliem in flower from

The Market.

The weatlier generally remains cool,
although there were a few warm days
during the week. This condition keeps
stock in fair shape and business as a
whole is holding up exceptionally well.
July 4 was an especially good day;
the sales were much larger than hereto-
fore. This and the quantity of funeral
work that came in througiiout the week
helped tremendously to make the week
comiiare favorably with the same week
of any previous year.

The supply of carnations is not so
large as it has been, as the growers are
throwing out the stock. What stock of
this nature there is, is only in fair
shape, as the lateness of the season is
manifest in the poorer quality of the
cut. Sweet peas are on the last lap and
are not moving well. The quality is
poor and the prices realized are low.

The crop of peonies is waning and

PARKER'S FLOWER STORE

it is only a question of a few warm
days when this stock will be of the past.
The crop this season was not satisfac-
tory, principally because the blooms
wore exceptionally late in arriving and
then they all came at once. Lilies are
still plentiful and the cut is not being
liandled with any degree of satisfaction.
Valley was scarce again last week and,
even with the light demand, there were
some orders that were not taken care
of.

Roses are in fine condition, although
the cut is becoming smaller every day.
The demand, especially for the shorter
stock, has been good, and while the sup-
ply has been equal to the demand there
has been little or no surplus. Orchids
are moving nicely; they are of good
quality. Spring stock is just about out
of the market; what there is is not
worth much.

A few warm days are expected to put
a quietus on business in general and
make vacation days more popular, al-
though tliere is hardly an establishment
in town which has not a part of its
force on the absent list.

Various Notes.

Tlie Holton & llunkel Co. will hold

A Summer Window Display.

We are now in the midst of the sum-
mer season, when the store business is
dull, and in many cases, no doubt, it
would be a saving to close for, say, three
months; but there must be someone al-
ways on the job, as orders will be com-
ing in for funeral work, either at home,
or by mail, or telegraph.

The Avriter has been through many a
summer season that has tried the pa-
tience almost to the Itroaking point.
One of the things that I found liardest
to do at such times was to keep out of

a rut and from just letting well enough
alone. Indeed, I have seen a store win-
dow fixed up and left till the spiders
wove their webs on the plants. The
florist who has not plenty of outdoor
stock is often at his wit 's end to keep
the store fresh and attractive without
spending too much money, and to give
it the appearance that one is doing
business, even if most of the patrons
are out of town.

This was recalled to my mind vividly
a short time ago by a church Children 's
daj'" decoration. Like most churches,
this one did not have much money to
spend for flowers, but it did have a
flower committee that was ready to go
ahead and make the little the committee
members had go as far as possible. The
writer, as he looked upon the finished
decoration Sunday morning^ realized
that there was a job of decorating that
had cost $5 and that $40 or $50 might
liave been paid for one not so attractive
as this.

A Tip from a Church.

Xow, this column is to help those in
tlie trade. The writer remembers many
makcsliifts just like this Children's
day decoration that have made a hit
with tlie people who know real floral
decorating. I am going to describe
this decoration, as it may be a hint that
will help some fellow who is at his
wit's end this summer and is disgusted
with the store; is doing no business; is
grouchy and does not know what is
wrong with him. It is then that the
work, for that is all it will take, will do
him good. Every store must have a
little stock each day and the thing is to
have that little arranged to the best
advantage. Here is where that church
decoration conies in.

The basis of the whole thing came
from the woods. In these days of au-
tomobiles, anyone can run out into the
country and cut a good armful of scrub
oak foliage. Take your time and pick
out good, full branches, and be sure to
get plenty of the pin variety. You will

know this by its skeleton-like leaves.
It keeps best and makes a better back-
ground for any sort of flowers you may
have. Now, around most stores
there are plenty of baskets with tins
that can be filled with water. Fill
these with your mixed oak foliage and
you have receptacles for your day's
stock. Say, for instance, you have a
dozen and a half or two dozen pink
gladioli, or gladioli of any other color.
Just arrange the blooms by themselves
in a good big basket of the pin oak
foliage and let such a basket be the
centerpiece for the window, with a few
smaller ones around it. Have the win-
dow j)erfectly clean and, above all, do
not crowd; do not try to see how much
you can get into it.

Or, liere is another idea. There will
be Easter lilies coming in cheap. Who
has not seen a bunch of these put to-
gether in a vase without green of any
kind? Tlie writer saw one the other
morning in a window and it certainly
looked gliastly. Take, for instance,
this same bunch of lilies arranged in
a pretty l)asket, or in a large vase of
pin oak foliage, and you have a thing
of beauty. Anything with fairly long
stems can be used. Just try it for a
week, for your foliage will last that
long, and see how interested you will
become in your work. See if keeping
tlio store looking spick-and-span does
not become a pleasure, instead of a
labor.

Stoel: moved slowly, as nearly all the
business done by retailers was in funer-
al work, which has been plentiful.

The extremely hot weather recently
has lowered the supply of stock at the
wholesale liouses. However, there is
some good stock coming despite the lack
of rain. Carnations are soft and small
and the price is low. The few fancy
grades clean up daily at fair prices.
Good roses, too, are scarce, although
some excellent Russell, Ophelia and
Hadley roses from outside shippers were
seen last week.

Gladioli are selling well and good con-
signments are received from local grow-
ers. Sweet peas are inferior and have
short stems. Easter lilies are coming
in good quality and sell well. Valley is
scarce. The above, with considerable
outdoor stock, make up the daily sup-
ply. Good greens sell well.

Various Notes.

Edward Kalisch, manager of the re-
tail store of the Kalisch Bros. Floral
Co., says the company's farm in St.
Louis county is producing quantities of
outdoor stock such as sweet peas, gla-
dioli, gypsophilas, cornflowers and gail-
lardias. A fine crop of asters is coming
on. John Kaliscli is in charge of the es-
tablishment.

The employees of Henry G. Berning
are taking their vacations one at a time.
Tliey will all be back in time to let Mr.
Berning make the trip to New York
city to attend the S. A. F. convention
in August.

Marion Uhlschmidt, manager of the
Grimm & Gorly store in East St. Louis,
says the rioting there did not in the
least affect the store's business. The
season was exceptionally good and busi-
ness tills summer has been up to expec-
tations.

Jules Bourdet, state vice-president of
the S. A. F., continues to work among
the local florists interesting them in the
S. A. F. convention in New York city
next month. He says the representation
trom St. Louis will be large.

Henry D.uringberg, head designer for
Grimm & Gorly, is away on a two
weeks' vacation. He would not tell
where he was going and members of the
firm assert that as Dan Cupid has been
on his trail, there is likely to be an in-

What cliance will there be to get valley
pips across the seas this autumn?

Augustus H. Goodwin, of the W. W.
Barnard Co., vnW be 74 years of age July
16. He is at his office every day.

The seed trade will learn with regret
of the death of Philippe de Vilmorin, head
of the widely known house of Vilmorin,
Andrieux et Cie, Paris, which occurred
June 30.

The Everette E. Peacock Co., Chicago
onion set dealer, has been incorporated
with $100,000 authorized capital stock,
the objects being to grow and deal in
bulbs, plants and seeds.

The final meeting of the creditors of
the Griswold Seed Co., which has been
adjudged bankrupt, will be held July 18 at
the otKce of Daniel H. McClenahan, ref-
eree in bankruptcy, Lincoln, Neb. The
meeting is called to pass on the report of
the trustee, hear and allow claims not
heretofore allowed, allow compensation to
the attorney for the bankrupt company
and to the trustee, and to declare and pay
a final dividend.

WISCONSIN PEAS POOR.

"We have just spent four days in
making a tliorough canvass of ])racti-
cally the entire situation in Wiscon-
sin," savs D. D. Rowlands, president
of the John H. Allan Heed Co., Sheboy-
gan. "We have five difforent growing
sections scattered througliout tlie state
and on our tri]» we talked with at least
a dozen or nu)re of tlio leading canners
of the state. Not one of these gentle-
men cxjieets more than sixty-six and
two-tliirds ]ier tout of a crop and the
majority of them expect between forty
and fifty ]>er cent of a crop. We, our-
selves, will do well if we pull out with
a fifty to sixty per cent of a normal
crop.

" Tlie southern ]»ait of the state has
been drenched with water, thousands of
acres now being under water. One can-
ner told us part of his buildings were
washed away, part of his machinery
destroyed and his entire coal supply
washed to points down stream. There
has been no growing weather to speak
of up to the present date (July 6).
Occasionally one finds fields that have
a good apj)earance from the road, the
vines of good color, but closer inspection

ficulties the seed trade has been under
for the past year or two. First, it has
been next to impossible to get many
seeds in from Europe, and then the de-
mand for seeds has increased in many
cases more than 100 per cent.

"For nearly three months last winter
we worked day and night, but even
with this twenty-four hours a day serv-
ice we were unable to get orders out
with our usual record of promptness.

"In regard to the shortage in seeds,
of course we are doing all we can to
grow more in this country. But in many
cases the seeds that formerly were im-
ported from Europe were those of root
crops and other biennials of which, of
course, it takes two years to produce
the seed.

"It 'is unnecessary for me to tell
you how difficult the labor situa^^on
has been. Because of the great number
of munitions factories in this section, I
believe man power is more scarce in
Philadelphia than in almost any other
well settled section of the country.

"These changed conditions having
come after my father's death made it
necessary for us to almost completely
reorganize. Especially was this so as
our cashier, A. Eldridge Brown, died
only a few months after my father.
When we lost Mr. Brown my brother
stepped in and took full charge of the
cashier's department. He has con-
tinued in that position and now is act-
ing treasurer.

"Our Mr. Bougy, of course, has con-
tinued in charge of the bookkeeping
department and W. F. Therkildson as
advertising manager.

"Howard M. Earl is well known in
the seed trade because of his activity
with us for nearly thirty years. For
a number of years he has been in close
touch with the producing end of our
business and has been also acting as
superintendent of our buildings and
warehouses. Because of the increased
volume of business and the more diffi-
cult conditions under which we now
operate, we have thought best to divide
these responsibilities. Mr. Earl, be-
cause of his long years of experience,
has been made production manager and
is now directly responsible for the eco-
nomic management of all our farms,
the placing of contracts, the purchase
of stock from reliable sources, the in-
spection of crops and the conduct of
trials both to prove the viability and
pureness to type of everything sold by
W. Atlee Burpee & Co. In this con-
nection George W. Kerr cooperates as
superintendent of the trial grounds and
as sweet pea expert.

WHY THIS UNUSUAL ACTION
IS TAKEN AT THIS TIME

Randall Japanese Lily Bulbs are superior
and positively will produce. They are the
select product of Japanese bulb-growing in-
dustry, and are sold through a reputation of
quality. We are not only willing to back up
this assertion, but we are going to do so right
here and now.

Practically every dealer who has bulbs to
sell has told you they are the best. Sold only
on quality, not price. They know you realize
that an inferior bulb is a poor investment at
any price. But you cannot know what the
bulbs are until you have bought them.

Therefore we are going to give you the opportunity of knowing exactly what our bulbs are like,
and prove to you before you place your fall order that our claim of quality is justified.

I THE OFFER

i FOR IMMEDIATE DELIVERY

We have only 200 cases of cold storage Lily
Bulbs on hand and are, therefore, obliged to
limit our offer to any one grower to not more
than 5 cases, so that a larger number may
take advantage of the offer.

These bulbs are 7/!> Giganteum. Packed ')00
to the case, and ready for immediate delivery.

Only 1 to 5 cases to the customer and orders

THE HARRISII CROP.

T^i'nder date of June 20, Consul Carl
Looj), of Hamilton, Bermuda, wrote as
follows of the Harrisii bulb crop now
about to move:

"According to a special rej)ort fur-
nished by the Director of Agricidturc
of Bermuda, the acreage under lily b'llb
cultivation is ])robably a little larger
this year than last. It a])])ears that on
account of the dullness of the market
last season a number of the growers
were not able to dis])ose of all their
bulbs, which have been used for replant-
ing this year. The fields of careful
growers apjiear to be in good condition,
and if there is sufficient rainfall be-
tween now and the time of gathering
the bulbs, the crop should be above the
average of recent years, and equal, por-
hajts, to the good crop of last year."

Fresno, Cal. — Fire destroyed the
greenhouse of W. W. McAvoy June 22,
the blaze starting from the embers of a
brush bonfire. The loss is placed at ap-
proximately $1,000.

Seattle, Wash. — In the professional
class of exhibits at the Seattle rose
show June 25, prizes were awarded to
the Lindley Nurseries for the best ex-
hibit of roses; Thomas Wylie for the
best general exhibit and Aabling &
Bovce for the most artistic exhibit.

PALMS ON THE PACIFIC.

The Pacific northwest has looked to
the east for its palms, eastern houses
shipping large quantities to Oregon and
Washington, but the development of
the trade in those states is resulting in
the building up of stocks of decorative
plants. A glimpse of one of these is
afforded by the accompanying illustra-
tion, prepared from a photograph made
at the establishment of Kahn & Her-
bert Co., Clackamas, Ore.

SAN FRANCISCO.

The Market.

With cooler weather, stock is better
than it was a week ago. It is difficult,
however, to procure enough good carna-
tions to supply the demand, and the
majority of tlie roses are not up to
standard. In both instances first-class
flowers clear readily, at rather stiff
])rices. In view of the wide assortment
of other stock, poor carnations and
roses are hard to move at any figure.
Quantities of sweet peas are disposed
of daily, but the last of the crop is in
sight. Tlie gladiolus is the flower most
in evidence now, but the demand keeps
the large cut from accumulating and
there is little fear that the supply
will become burdensome. Double core-
opsis is offered in large quantities and
some of tlie retailers report that it is
selling better than the single. A new
light jtiiik scabiosa is liaving an excel-
lent sale.

Otlier outdoor flowers demanding a
good sliare of attention include gail-
lardias, sweet williams, larkspurs,
candytuft, snapdragons, daisies, etc.
Goldc'urod lias made its appearance. A
few rubrum lilies have been seen, but
not enough to make much impression
on tlie market; auratums are fairly
])lentiful. Easter lilies are in lighter
sii}i])ly and probably will not last much
longer. The quality has held up un-
usually well this year, and so lias the
demand. The valley situation has im-
proved somewhat, both with regard to
quantity and quality, but it is still
diflficult to get enough good cattloyas
to meet all requirements. The cut of
gardenias is easily disposed of. The
new dagger and fancy ferns are being
well received. Asparagus is rather
scarce, but there is plenty of adiantum.
In flowering plants there is a good call
for Canterbury l)ells, gloxinias and
A])]deblossom primroses.

Red, white and blue flowers of all
kinds Avere in particularly strong de-
mand the first four days of July. The

florists were called upon to make up

quets of which the patriotic color
scheme was the principal feature.

Various Notes.

M. Donioto, of Domoto Bros., has as-
sumed his duties here after spending
two weeks in Los Angeles and vicinity,
where he combined busines with pleas-
ure. He reports business seasonably
good.

J. Onislii, of the United Flower &
Supply Co., ('X)iects to have a fine cut
of asters by tie middle of this month.
He says the acreage devoted to this
flower is unusually large this year and
that the crop is in splendid condition.
The lieavy planting is due largely to the
fact that several Japanese growers gave
up sweet peas this season for asters.

Richard Diener is sending down a nice
cut of hybrid gladioli from his place
at Kenfield.

N. F. Baldocchi, of Podesta & Bal-
docchi, is expected back at the store
soon, after an absence of three months
for the benefit of his health. When he
gets back in harness, Victor Podesta
plans an automobile trip to Lake Tahoe
and the Yosemite. In checking up the
books for June, Mr. Podesta was pleased
to find a nice increase in business over
the corresponding month last year. He
reports an unusually brisk demand for
gladioli, which, in his opinion, are par-
ticularly fine this season.

Frank Claverie reports business good.
He is having a new line of vases made.

O. Lundberg, proprietor of Lund-
berg's, on Polk street, is enjoying a
two weeks' vacation in Placer county.

lias been added to the salesroom.

W. Kirkman, Jr., president of the
Kirkman Nurseries, Inc., Fresno, Cal.,

Manuel Eolleri, of San Bruno, Cal.,
is sending in fine Boston ferns.

Mrs. Klein, who has charge of tlie
Darbee business during the absence of
the proprietress, is well pleased with the
volume of business being done. The
latest cards received from Mrs. Darbee
were from Grant's Pass, Ore., telling of
a delightful trip.

Albert O. Stein left for Stockton,
Cal., for a week-end trip. He had a
large wedding decoration in that city.
W. Scanlon, of the force, left for Los
Angeles July 2 for a two weeks' vaca-
tion. Norman Marcus, who has been
with this establishment for some time,
gave uj) Ills ])osition the first of the
month to prepare for active service in
France. Patrick Orr is back after a
month's absence, which turned out dif-
ferently than he had planned. Instead
of an extended trip in the east, he
buried his father.

MacRorie & McLaren have renewed
their contract for a year wath Tait's
restaurant, one of the largest accounts
of the kind for cut flowers on the Pa-
cific coast. Daniel MacRorie and his
family spent the week end at Santa
Cruz. Donald McLaren and Walter
Hofingholf made a short trij) to Sacra-
mento last week, ])aying a visit while
there to Mark p]bel.

Charles Stajipenbach has been si)end-
ing his vacation at Santa Cruz. His
brother re])orts l)usiness good for the
"quietest time of the year."

The Art P"'loral Co. had an elabor-
ate Fourth of July window display. In
one window was a large flag of red,
w'hite and blue flowers, and in the other
was a shield and red, white and blue
baskets. Spot lights were installed in
the windows to bring out the colors.

David Lichtenstein, the Terminal
Florist, is getting full benefit of the
heavy summer travel through the Ferry
building. He caters to this trade by
kee})ing bouquets made up for the con-
venience of people hastening to catch
boats.

LOS ANGELES, CAL.

The Market.

The holiday feeling is in the air and
the mountains, streams and beaches are
more thought of and talked about than
flowers. With it all there has been a
fair demand, principally for wedding
and funeral work. The shipping business
has diminished until there is little do-
ing, and if there were good business,
the quality of much of the stock is such
that most of the long-distance ship-
ments would be out of the question.
Gladioli are good again, having with-
stood the heat well, but most of the
outdoor stock is valueless. Sweet peas
are more plentiful, but not particularly
good. Other flowers are fairly good, but
meet with little demand.

was the originator of this and many
other fine dahlias.

Robert Newcomb, representative of
the American Bulb Co., Chicago, ar-
rived in this city June 29. He reports
good business on his trip out and says
he is going to spend a day or two with
his folks in San Dinias before laying
siege to Los Angeles.

Miss Kate Parsons, of Fresno, made
a trip to Los Angeles this week, partly
on account of the illness of her sister,
but also to look up stock. She reports
business as being exceptionally good
for the heated term.

A. F. Borden, of the Redondo Floral
Co., has been taking a few days off fin-
ishing up the home gardening that he
started early in the year. Albert Knopf
is going to start out later and build him-
self a summer cottage on his lemon
ranch in Orange county. Mr. Knopf
says he is not a good carpenter. If the
boards are cut to fit he can use the
little hammer, but not for knocking the
other fellow.

Fred Sperry, of the L. A. Floral Co.,

The Florists' Review

July 12, 1917.

At tlie California Cut Flower Co. store
some excellent gladioli are being shown
and the roses, as usual, are extra fine.

Arthur Howard, of Howard & Smith,
stole a march on his friends recently
when he said h6 was going away for a
ten days' trip to Catalina. This he did,
but first of all — June 14, to be exact —
he was married to Mrs. Minnie Plun-
kett, and the trip was a honeymoon.

S. Murata & Co. report a falling off
in out-of-town shipments.

H. R. Richards.

PORTLAND, ORE.

Business is stagnant, there being few
funerals, social affairs or other means
of moving stock, which is abundant.
Auratum lilies now are more prominent
and more useful. English and Japanese
irises are plentiful and make fine win-
dow displays.

The National Educational Association
is holding its annual convention here
this week and there has been much
stock used for decorative purposes.

The Floral Society held its annual
picnic July 4 at Sciinorr's park, near
Oregon City. The attendance was not
so large as last year, but everyone had
a good time. There were races, games,
dancing and plenty to eat. Otto Panzer
tried to catch some trout, but when he
liad a large one hooked, he remembered
that his license was not in his pocket —
so he says — and let tlie fish go. The
picnickers extended their thanks to Au-
gust Zitzewitz, the chairman of the
committee in charge of the affair, for
making the outing so pleasant.

James Forbes and R. W. Scott mo-
tored to the Tillamook beaches July 4.

Charles Welby, who has been inter-
ested in the Swiss Floral Co., has sev-
ered his connection with the company.
J. G. Bacher is now in charge of the
company 's affairs.

Julius Broetje is planting a pond with
water lilies of the red, pink, blue and
yellow varieties. At present he is bring-
ing in a large sup])ly of the whites,
which find a ready sale. W. G. W.

TACOMA, WASH,

The Market.

Business is not quite so brisk as it
was last week. The staple stock is plen-
tiful and only choice carnations find a
sale in box orders. Peonies are abun-
dant, but their quality is not up to the
standard. Many fine plants undoubt-
edly were blighted by the late frost.
Good peas are now more than sufficient
for the demand; outdoor-grown peas are
just starting to bloom. Outdoor roses
are at their best. The cool, late season
has brought out perfect blooms; in fact,
it is difticult to tell- them from green-
liouse-grown stock. Delphiniums are
now quite plentiful, with the demand
good.

Tliere is an increased demand for
old-fashioned flowers and perennials.
Funeral and decorative work continues
in a satisfactory manner, but counter
sales have dropped off to some extent,
probably on account of the large stock
of outdoor roses.

Various Notes.

Henry Benthien has shipped some of
tlie finest peonies grown locally this sea-
son. He also has a fine lot of delphin-
iums and Canterbury bells.

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 pr.ces. Was awarded a Cer-
tificate 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 reddish lavender. Only good si/ed. flowering bulbs are
offered. PRICE: Per dozen, $3.50; per lOO, $20.00.

Cash with order. Sent postpaid. July delivery.

Carnation Sports.

sary to go through much the same ex-
perience. A cutting or two may be ob-
tained from the shoot that produces the

;i)ort, but in order to obtain a greater

ncrease resort must be had to leaf eyes.

As however, all sports are bud varia-

'ions, still other sports are liable to oc-

iir.
Propagation of any particular plant

. leans the perpetuation of that plant in

riother individual. Every new plant

aised in this way is a part of the orig-

iial and just as old; it is the same plant.

i 11 connection with this fact it should

■)0 noted that when a carnation gets

•cady to sport, it freruently sports in

overal places at the same time. So

'vell is this fact known by judges that

,vhen a sport is put before them for

rertification the award, if considered, is

•generally withheld until it is found if

I he sport has appeared elsewhere.

Propagation by Layering.

Layering is nature's favorite way.
She does it quite openly. To get a plant
on its own roots is a good way, and in
some caseSj if not the; only way, it is the
l)est and most practical way. Ehodo-
dendrons cannot well be rooted from
cuttings. I do not say it is impossible,
for what one cannot do another may,
but for most people it is impracticable
to root rhododendrons from cuttings.
They can be layered, though it may
take two years to do it. Layering for
rhododendrons is, in my opinion, best
for this country, and, in the opinion of
at least one noted grower, is best for
any country.

In foreign countries the most easily
workable stock for grafting rhododen-
drons is ponticum, a plant of uncertain
liardiness in itself here. It is well
enough to use it for a stock if grafted
low enough so that the scion gets on
its own roots, but it is uncertain and
short-lived as a stock. The result is
that when we import rhododendrons,
unless we get layered plants we get
something not dependable.

As a rule, plants that will not layer
are difficult to root from cuttings. I
have never seen pines, hemlocks or firs
layer naturally, or even artificially, nor
liave I been able to root them from cut-
tings. As I said before, nature often
shows the way and we frequently find
hydrangeas, loniceras, deutzias, forsy-
thias, viburnums, currants, gooseberries
and grape vines rooting wherever they
happen to strike the ground. With this
hint, man goes nature one better by
making cuts in the stem, bending the
branch to the soil and covering it with
prepared loam.

Formerly carnations were rooted
mostly by layering. We had not be-
come acquainted with the expeditious
methods now in use in this country,
where they are rooted by tens of thou-
sands from cuttings.

Grafting and Budding.

Grafting has been said by one nota-
ble authority to be a makeshift at best.
I will not venture to disagree with that
authority. It is a valuable makeshift,
nevertheless. In this, as in all other
methods of propagation, nature has
shown the way and examples of natural
grafting, while not numerous, are still
common enough to have come within the
observation of most gardeners and oth-
.ers interested in horticulture. With few
exceptions, plants would prefer to be
on their own roots and they make stren-
uous efforts to get there if given a
chance.

Nevertheless, grafting is indispensa-
ble and few processes have added more
to the material welfare of mankind. We

should be in a poor way for apples,
plums, peaches, pears and apricots, not
forgetting lemons and oranges, if we
had to depend on other methods.

There are various methods of graft-
ing and budding, but all depend on
one thing and that is the union of the
cambium layers of stock and scion. The
cambium layer lies between the bark
and the wood. It is here all annual
growth is made. It is the center of the
plant's activities, the life center. A
tree may be perfectly hollow and live
so long as the cambium is uninjured.

It is a quite general report that shrubs
did not sell so well this spring as usual.
The gardening enthusiasm was centered
on potatoes and other comestibles.

The nonarrival of the spring shipments
of bay trees and boxwoods cut down the
spring sales of a number of dealers so
much that increased sales in other lines do
not make the season compare favorably
with last year.

THE NEW VICE-PRESIDENT.

J. R. Mayhew, of Waxahachie, Tex.,
who, was chosen vice-president of the
American Association of Nurserymen at

CEMETERY MEN'S CONVENTION.

The thirty-first annual convention of
the Association of American Cemetery
Superintendents will be held at Barre,
Vt., August 28 to 31. A most inter-
esting program has been prepared and
the entertainment has been carefully
arranged for the purpose of illustrating
the special features of the business ses-
sions.

The local committee is making hotel
reservations for a large attendance, but
in order to facilitate its work it will be
necessary that everyone expecting to
attend the convention advise the com-
mittee of the fact, and of the number
of persons in each party, as the hotels

1912 in shipments of nursery stock,
mostly from Germany. Between these
dates probably 10,000,000 small white
pine trees were imported, most of them
coming to the New England states.
Many shipments, however, are known to
have been made to the states of Ohio,
Michigan, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa and
Minnesota, and to have been sent out by
nurserymen to parks, cemeteries and
private planters.

A peculiarity of the rust parasite is
that it has two classes of hosts, white
pines and species of ribes; that is, cur-
rants and gooseberries. So far as known
the disease can not pass from pine to
pine, but must pass from pine to the
currant or gooseberry, and then back to
the pine. On the pines the disease takes
the form of a blister or canker and has
been found on main stem, branch and
twig. On the currant and gooseberry
the rust forms small orange spots or mi-
nute orange or brown hair-like projec-
tions on the under side of the leaf. The
life history of the organism causing the
blister rust is similar to that causing
the cedar apple rust, which spreads from
the red cedar to the apple leaf, and to
that causing the wheat rust, which
spreads from the barberry bush to the
wheat plant.

The blister rust was first found in
this country on currants in 1906, but it
did not again make its appearance until
1909.

Tlio depressing effect of summer on

enough activity to take up the better
grades of stock. There seem to be
dieaj) Toses without number, and most
of them make their exit via the ash can
or street stand. Eussell seems to stand
head and shoulders above any other va-
riety in the matter of popularity.

ent is gladioli, of which the quality is
most satisfactory. Gypsophilas and
candytuft move well in funeral work.
Asters put in an appearance last week.

Various Notes.

A house 36x100 recently completed
by A. F. Barbe has been planted to roses
in prime condition, and the benching
of carnations is scheduled for this week.
Mr. Barbe believes in starting off the
new stock as early as possible.

A. Elberficld is producing a large
batch of extra fine outdoor flowers, but,
then, Mr. Elberfield uses 5,000 gallons of
water daily to irrigate his patch. Mr.
Atkins, who has been employed l)y Mr.
Elberfield for ten years, has resigned his
position to go to Florida.

GROWER AND IMPORTER OF POT PLANTS
10X2 WEST ONTARIO STREET, PHILADELPHIA, PA.

T. J. Noll is elated over the way busi-
ness has panned out so far this year.
P"'all supplies of baskets and ribbons
are being stocked, in anticipation of
good times to come.

Large receipts of good roses at the
Henry Kusik house do not have to wait
long for buyers, according to the men
on the floor.

Funeral orders last week had the Ar-
thur Newell staff stepping lively, what
with one man short and a large out-of-
town commission.

W. .7. Barnes is rapidly whipping his
liouses into shape for the fall business.
Begonias of the Barnes brand take
well with the buyers.

It should be reported that the large
decorative order for the Muehlebach

liotel, July 21, was captured bv the
W. L. Rock Flower Co. Mr. Carter,
lucky man! is hunting, fishing and auto-
ing in tlie "Wisconsin woods.

WASHINGTON, D. C.

The Market.

Considering that we have passed the
Fourth of July, the florists' business in
Washington is the best on record. Usu-
ally the city is nearly deserted by this
time of the year and there is little
doing, except in funeral work, until the
officials and the society people return
from their vacations. This year, how-
ever, official Washington is on the job;

not only that, but the number of gov-
ernment employees is being greatly in-
creased by the employment of men from
other parts of the country. Many of
these are persons of means and there is
much entertaining going on. None of
the affairs is large or" elaborate, but
most of tliom call for flowers. The re-
sult is that the retail stores are having
an excellent run of small sales.

The sui)ply of stock, wliile adequate
for the demand, is not excessive. It is
of the usual summer character.

Various Notes.

The Florists' Club of Washington is
planning to send a large representation
to the S. A. F. convention, pro))ably
^joining the convontionists of Baltimore
in the trij) to New York.

The growers have practically finished
the planting of roses and chrysanthe-
mums, and the planting of carnations is
about to begin. There has been some
reduction in the quantity of mums
planted hereabouts and probably not so
many carnations will be benched as last
year, additional space being given to
roses.

Peoria, 111. — C. Loveridge is prepar-
ing to remove from his old location on
Jefferson street to a building on Main
street purchased by him in 1916, which
he is preparing to remodel. He will
have a sj)ace 28x78, with all tlie fix-
tures of the most modern type. Wiion
Mr. Loveridge gets into his new build-
ing there will be four flower stores in
one block on Main street, but this is
a live town of 82,000 inhabitants and
all the florists do good business.

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.

HEAT FROM EXHAUST STEAM.

We have a heating problem which
we wish to submit and we shall appre-
ciate an answer from your expert as
early as possible. Our greenhouses
adjoin an electric light plant. The
exhaust steam from this plant would
heat our entire range, which consists
of four houses, each 26x150 and seven
feet high to the eaves. The electric
light company wishes to meter this
steam to us. What rate would have to
be paid for the exhaust steam to make
it cost practically the same as with our
present steam heating system?

D. B. G.— S. D.

The comparative cost of heating
greenhouses with exhaust steam, as pro-
posed, will depend largely, of course,
upon the price of coal. In most cases
the rates have a sliding scale, per thou-
sand pounds of condensed water, of
from 50 to 60 cents when coal costs
$2.50 per ton to 90 cents when the
same coal is $6 per ton. Though this
is more than it would cost to supply
the coal, considerable allowance can
be made for the saving in firing, remov-
ing ashes, etc.

A SMALL CARNATION HOUSE.

I have just completed a small green-
house and want some advice about the
piping and lieating of it. I intended
to use it for vegetables, but have de-
cided now to bench it for carnations
and other flowers and add a lettuce
liouse later. The house is 21x31, of
Moninger semi-iron construction, and
runs north and soutli, with the boiler
room at the nortli end. There is top
and side ventilation on the east side.
The liouso stands on a concrete founda-
tion and is twelve feet high to the
ridge and six feet to the eaves, with
five feet of glass in the west wall. My
plan was to use 2-inch pipe throughout,
installing two 2-inch overhead flows
and ten 2-ineh returns.

K. G.— Kan.

For a carnation house 21x31, with a
ventilator in the east wall and five feet
of glass in the west wall, and having
1,250 to 1,400 square feet of glass, we
would recommend between 300 and 350
square feet of radiation, depending
ui)on the ox])osure and the actual
amount of glass.

Kroesdieli Water Tube Steam Boiler

Wouldn't you be surprised if some morning you picked up your
florists' trade paper, and while turning the front cover, you see a
double page advertisement announcing that Kroeschell Bros. Co. will from
this moment on build and erect greenhouses— big 30-60-80 footers in width,
even twice as long and again as wide as any of the greenhouse companies,
who have specialized in this class of work for more than a decade?

Wouldn't you wonder and wonder if we claimed that our green-
houses were built stronger and better, because of some fandangled
feature of coDstruction, whereby we made an old-time, obsolete type of
house just a little different in order to be different for sake of a talking
point? WELL, YOU NEED NOT WORRY, we are not going to do any-
thing of the kind.

Our business (established 1879) is to build boilers of all types,
from the smallest house heater to the largest 600 H. P. Water
Tube Steam Boilers. We do not claim that we are wizards at designing
freak boilers. Our practical experience— engineering knowledge and reputa-
tion would not permit this.

For thirty-eight years, we have confined our entire efforts to the

designing and construction of high grade boilers, and during this
time have served the florist trade of this country and foreign countries to
the full satisfaction of every one of our customers.

The famous Kroeschell Greenhouse Boiler has made a wonderful

record for greenhouse heating, because of its practicability —
high efiiciency and unequaled fuel economy.

Men who know boilers ^authorities on boiler construction —

admit that our Hot Water Boiler and the Kroeschell Water Tube
Steam Boiler are positively the best hot water and steam units ever
designed for greenhouse heating.

The high efficiency of the Kroeschell is due to its immense direct

self-cleaning heating surface (a very small proportion of flue sur-
face is used)— the thin vertical waterways — the large combustion space —
long fire travel (longer than any other boiler)— its perfection of construc-
tion—honest and "true blue" rating.

These qualities combined with the workmanship and material
are an inspiration to every boiler maker — it sets the standard
for all other boilers.

As stated before, do not worry about our going into the green-
house building business — we will continue as boiler makers, to
build only the highest grade of boilers. We will strive to make them
better all the time.

The Burnham Tubular Boiler

does away with brick setting expense

It reduces chimney costs

Cuts down tube replacing expense

BEAR in mind that the cost of setting
bricked-up boilers often adds half as much
again to the cost of the boiler.

The Burnham requires no bricking-up. The
only masonry needed is the foundation for ihe
ash pit, and rear support to rest on.

High chimneys run into money fast. The
Burnham, because of its extra large flues and
high perfection of combustion, will work to its
full capacity with a lower chimney than any
tubular boiler we know of.

Because all the tubes are made from
only high grade charcoal iron, they will out-
last all steel or ordinary iron tubes.

Replacing tubes runs into money fast.
Replacing in the winter is dangerous and par-
ticularly expensive.

The Burnham Charcoal Iron Tubes last.

As for the direct coal economy facts about
the Burnham Tubular, send for the circular,
or get in touch with any one of our nine Sales
Offices that is nearest to you.

If you want to talk it over carefully with
us, say when and where and we will be there.

The boiler is made at our factory, Geneva,
N. Y.

Send for circular fully describing and illus-
trating it.

would not supply more than 250 square
feet of radiation, unless a considerable
amount of pii)ing is placed upon the
end walls. We would prefer to use
three 2-inch flow pipes, placing one on
each plate and the other two feet below
the ridge. Unless the house is consid-
erably exposed, we would only use four
2-incli pipes in each of the wall coils,
and four others distributed under the
middle bench and connected with the
overhead flow pipe.

COAL OR FUEL OIL— WHICH?

I am using a Johnston steam boiler,
with a grate surface 30x38 inches and
a rating of 2,275 square feet. Last
winter I burned sixty-four long tons of
New River bituminous coal in heating
two houses, with an area of 10,000
square feet of glass, to a carnation
temperature, in northern Massachusetts.
I should like to get a little information
concerning the approximate quantity of
fuel oil that would be necessary to heat
the same houses. I have a tank with a
capacity of 2,500 gallons, which I can
use for storage purposes. What appa-
ratus would I need? J. E. S. — Mass.

The comparative economy in using
coal and fuel oil for heating purposes
will depend largely, of course, upon the
quality and cost of these fuels. As a
rule, we may consider that a good grade
of coal furnishes 14,000 heat units and
there would perhaps be 19,000 units in
fuel oil per pound, or, in other words,
the oil is worth about one-third more
per pound than coal. This, of course,
does not begin to equal the difference
in cost, but there will be a large saving
in the cost of firing, removing ashes,
etc., if oil is used as the fuel.

Aside from the necessary piping and
a special burner for the oil, a steam jet
to spray the oil must be provided.

THE PIPING AND THE STACK.

Kindly toll me how to arrange the
piping in my three greenliouses, as the
present arrangement is not satisfactory.
One of tlio liouses is 17x150; the other
two are each 14x150. They are con-
nected, witli no walls between. The
side walls are seven feet high and con-
tain three feet of glass. The houses
run east and west and the west gable
end is exposed. The boiler, a No. 5
Kroeschell, is in a shed at the east end
and is below tlie level of tlie green-
house floors. I wish to maintain a
temperature of 55 to 60 degrees. Here,
in nortliern Indiana, the outside tem-
perature may droj) as low as 12 degrees
below zero. I have a considerable quan-
tity of 1-inch, li/^-inch and 2-inch pipe
which I should like to use. I also have
a 4-inch pipe which might be used for
one flow the length of the house.

What size of chimney should I erect?
I intend to build it of brick. In stating
its width, please give both inside and
outside measurements. F. W. — Ind.

To heat the house 17x150, which, as
we understand, has three feet of glass
in one wall, to a temperature of 55 to
60 degrees when the outside tempera-
ture is 12 degrees below zero, we would
place the 4-inch flow on the outer wall
and also use two 2i/i-inch flows, placing
one of them on tlie other ])Iate and tlie
second under the ridge. Eight 2-inch
returns will be required. Three should
be connected with the 4-inch flow, three

with the flow under the ridge and two
with the other 2i/>-inch flow.

For the other houses we would use
three 214-inch flows and either seven
2-inch or nine l^/{>-inch returns. We
Avould not use 1-inch pipe for houses 150
feet in length and would prefer not to
use li/>-inch pipe; neither would we
use 2-inch pipe for flows in houses of
that length.

The three houses contain about 9,000
square feet of glass and for this area
we would suggest that the chimney be
about twelve inches in diameter inside,
which, with 8-inch walls, will make it
twenty-eight inches square outside.

A chimney of the foregoing dimen-
sions is all that would be necessary for
the three liouses described, but if addi-
tional houses are to be erected and the
full capacity of the boiler utilized, pro-
vision should be made for this and a
chimney sixteen inches wide inside
should be erected. This will make it
tliirty-two inches square outside, unless
it is more than thirty feet in height, in
which case it will be well to build the
wall of three tiers of bricks for the
first ten feet, making it forty inches
square at the base.

Unless the chimney is on the wind-
ward side of a building or trees, thirty
feet will generally answer as its heiglit,
although its capacity can be increased
by adding to its height.

to procure, and as a result many sub-
stitutes are used. Callas and Easter
lilies are not so plentiful as a few
weeks ago, but the supply nevertheless
is adequate. Sweet peas are flooding
the market.

Carnations probably have suffered
more than any other flower from the
intense heat, and a few weeks will see
the finish for the season. Snapdragons
are of fair quality and meet with a
good call. Gladioli at present are
scarce and the prices are high. There
are many outdoor flowers, and all of
them serve a good purpose one way or
another. Green goods of all seasonable
kinds are plentiful.

There are plenty of good flowers to
take care of the demand, wliich, with
the coming of real summer wcatlier, has
dropped to almost nothing. Carnations
still are fair and many are arriving.
They will soon be scarce, as the grow-
ers already are planting. Asters as yet
are not plentiful, but soon will be com-
ing in quantities. Lilies are good, but
Beauties are showing the effects of the
hot weather. The local supply of sweet
peas is gone, but some good ones are be-
ing shipped in.

The Club Meeting.

The placidity of last week's meeting
of the Pittsburgh Florists' and Gar-
deners' Club was broken by a tilt be-
tween two of the members as to the
skill of Pittsburgh 's gardeners com-
pared with the skill of gardeners of
other cities. During the verbal battle
one fact of force was brought out:
"The average man goes abroad to see
hurriedly, excitedly and expensively
things which are right under his nose."

So, to live up to the idea quoted, and
to settle the dispute, the members de-
cided to visit the several gardens, pub-

INDIANAPOLIS, IND.

The Market.

Lilies and gladioli have been the
leading sellers in the market, the de-
mand for tlieso liaving been uncom-
monly heavy. An enormous quantity
of lilies has been moved, thanks to the
demand occasioned by a good run of
funeral work. Roses have been plenti-
ful and ])opular at $2 to $6 per hundred.
A few carnations are still making their
way to tlie market, but they are of
such ijiferior quality that they are
given little consideration.

Snapdragons are in adequate supply
and used extensively. They bring $1
and $2 per hundred. Outdoor hydran-
geas, phloxes, feverfew and dahlias are
newcomers. Gypsophila has had an
exceptionally good demand.

The few potted plants available
have met with a ready sale. Ferns, be-
gonias and gloxinias are the most
important of these.

Various Notes.

Judge Conner, of Wabash, visited the
trade last week.

Hartje & Elder produced a fine lot
of sweet pea seeds this year.

The Bertermann Bros. Co. and the
Circle Flower Store had most attrac-
tive patriotic windows July 4.

Eldon Weygandt has been cutting
gladioli of exceptional quality.

Mrs. Herbert Weiss underwent an
operation last week for appendicitis.

Allan Humason, of Chicago, visited
the trade this week. A. T. Hey, of the
A. L. Randall Co., Chicago, also was
here last week, as well as Mr. Young,
of the Young Tool Co., Casey, 111.

Henry W. Rieman has sold his estab-
lishment to his two sons, Frank and
Harry, and retired from the business.

H. G. Evans, of the Gasser Co.,
Cleveland, has been visiting friends in
the city.

William Webber, gardener for the
Central Hospital for the Insane, died
July 2, at the age of 56 years. He at
one time was in the employ of the
Bertermann Bros. Co. for six years, but
during the last twenty years he was
florist at the hospital. Mr. Webber is
survived by his wife and one son.

FLOWERS TO FOLLOW MUMS.

Will you suggest some plants or
flowers for cutting which we can sow
now and have in bloom before Qf at
Christmas time? We want something
which can be brought in about the time
the early mums are gone, about No-
vember 5. We have coldframes and hot-
bods in which we can keep them up to
that time. K. F. C— O.

There is too little time between the
first week of November and Christmas
to plant out and get any crop in flower.
The sunlight is steadily diminishing
during that time and plants would not
make much growth in the period be-
tween the clearing out of one crop and
the time the flowers are wanted.

Seeds of snapdragons can be sown
now. The intermediate strain is the
best. These can be grown in pots and
would give some flowers when wanted.
Calendulas, if sown early in Septem-
ber and benched as soon as space is
available, would also give some flowers.
Such stocks as Beauty of Nice and
White Column should be sown now, kept
in pots and benched in early October.
Bachelor's buttons, if sown now,
planted outdoors in nursery rows and
lifted and benched to follow the earli-
est mums, would give some flowers.
Sweet peas would need to be sown early
in September and planted out early in
October to give Christmas flowers, using
the grandifloras, like Cliristmas Pink,
for the earliest blooms. Mignonette
should be sown in July to give satis-
factory Christmas spikes.

You would do better with any of the
plants named by growing and flowering
them in pots rather than benching them
with the idea of getting a Christmas
crop. Few annuals can be made to
bloom satisfactorily during the short
winter days, C. W.

THE MOST FAMOUS

WOMAN FLORIST

Probably no one is better known in the trade in Boston and New England
than Mrs. Gill, of Medford, Massachusetts' most famous woman florist. For
more than fifty years she grew flowers. Now, at 87 years of ag^, she is confined ;
to her home, but is none the less interested in the florists' business.

m

inps^pHi

HAT the greatest measure
of success comes to him
who is in love with his
work is exemplified in the
career of Mrs. Ellen M.
Gill, of Medford, Mass.
For more than forty-five
years Mrs. Gill grew
flowers for the Medford
and Boston markets. Now,
although confined to her room by the
infirmities of age — she was 87 years old
June 28^Mrs. Gill still is intensely
interested in the florists' profession and
confidently expects that she will recover
her strength sufficiently to again visit
Horticultural hall, Boston, where she
■w'.is a regular exhibitor for half a cen-
tury.

Probably no one interested in the
growing of flowers and
plants and in the socie-
ties that are promoting
the production of good
stock, is better known
in Boston and New
England than Mrs.
Gill. Beginning as an
amateur in 1860, her
success with flowers
■was so great that she
gradually enlarged her
activities until 1870,
wlien she built the first
of lier four greenhouses
at Medford and began
to grow for the market.

rirst with Freesias.

Mrs. Gill is said to
have been the first
frrower to supply the
rioston market with
I'loesias. She also was
ii'aong the first to pro-
vluce violets indoors
i' n d in coldf rames,
\> hich stock she sold to
J'Oston retailers.

has been elected an honorary member of
the Gardeners' and Florists' Club of
Boston, and of the Ladies' Bociety of
American Florists.

A Native Bostonian. '

Mrs. Gill was born in Boston June 28,
1830, a member of the Bowditch family,
which traced its ancestry from John Al-
den and Richard Warren of the May-
flower time. In 1849, when she was 19
years old, she married George Gill.
They began their married life at Mel-
rose and moved to Medford in 1854. It
was there that her natural ability to
grow flowers first had an opportunity to
express itself and when, in 1860, she
and her husband purchased what is now
the family home and greenhouse range
at 28 Ashland street, that opportunity

became ' greatei* ' and she improved it.
In a short time the half-acre of
ground about '.this home became noted
for its flower gardens. Year after year
Mrs. Gill gained .greater fame as a
grower Snd jn l865, she was admitted to
membership in the Massachusetts Horti-
cultutal Society and sent some of the
products of her garden to the society's
exhibitions.

It was to enable her to grow higher
class stock th^t, in 1870, Mrs. Gill built
the first of the four greenhouses upon
vher ptace. That, too, was tlie beginning
"of her long career as a commercial
grower.

After experimenting with what was
at that time expensive stock, Mrs. Gill
/discovered that commercial success lay
in specialization in stock that was in
demand. She threw
out her mixed stock
of stephanotis, alla-
manda, lapageria and
other plants of a like
character and began to
grow roses, carnations
and callas. Violets,
too, Mrs. Gill dis-
covered, could be
grown at a profit, al-
though few florists
grew them at that
time.

Boston's Best Violets.

Mrs. Gill delights in
telling anecdotes ro-
ller early ca-
a professional
A neighbor,
violets in a
Boston store, remarked
that she could not buy
the flowers in her home
town of Medford.

"Madam," replied
the florist, "the best
violets I sell come
from Mrs. Gill, of
Medford. ' '

Another time a
neighbor remarked
that she had seen an
odd flower in a window
in Boston and sug-
gested to Mrs. Gill that
she ought to see it and
add it to her collection.
Mrs. Gill had the satis-
faction of telling the
neighbor that she was
the first to grow the
flower for the Boston
market and had sold
the stock described to

which traced its ancestry from .lolm Al-

\\i a short time tlie liaifacre of
ground aliout this home became noted
for its flower gardens. W-nv after year
^I rs. Gill gained greater fam(> as a
grower and in ISO;" she was admitted to
iiH'nibersIiip in the Massachusetts Horti-
cultural Society and sent some of the
jiroducts of her garden to the society's
exhibitions.

the florist who was exhibiting it as a
part of his window display.

As business grew Mrs. Gill enlarged
her greenhouse establishment until she
had four houses, none of which was so
large as is now commonly built. Besides
the calls for stock for Boston trade,
the people of Medford began to depend
upon Mrs. Gill for their flower wants.
She had a natural instinct for flower ar-
rangement and for many years made up
funeral designs, wedding bouquets and
decorations and baskets for other oc-
casions.

Freesias proved to be one of Mrs.
Gill's most profitable crops. Before this
stock was generally known to the Bos-
ton market, a friend gave Mrs. Gill
some of the bulbs. She was successful
as a grower of freesias and sold the
first blooms in Boston. She also did a
considerable business in the bulbs.

Enjoyed Her Garden.

Marechal Niel was the first hybrid
rose Mrs. Gill grc^y indoors, but other
varieties later were added. But it was
her outdoor stock, which might be
termed her first loves, that Mrs. Gill
usually spoke of with the greatest inter-
est. In describing her place she said:

"My garden has given great pleas-
ure to me and others also, being, as you
might say, an old-fashioned one, planted
in no formal style — just a profusion of
bloom, a mingling of color.

"I have many peonies, some of the
famous Richardson seedlings, 300 or
more hybrid rose bushes, phloxes, del-
phiniums, irises, poppies, lilies of the
valley and such annuals as asters, sal-
vias, mignonette, cosmos, salpiglossis,
centaureas and a collection of holly-
hocks and dahlias, besides. I would ad-
vise anyone who has a garden to culti-
vate the yellow Scotch rose. The one
in my garden was on the place when I
went there fifty-five years ago. ' '

Besides cut flowers, Mrs. Gill grew
pot plants for the spring trade. Much
of her stock was sold in Medford, but
considerable found its way into the
Boston market. For many years the
men emploj'ed by Mrs. Gill would make

two or three trips a week to Boston
with a wagon-load of plants, which
were sold in the market near Faneuil
hall. Cut flowers Mrs. Gill usually
handled personally and during several
years she was a well known figure at her
stall in the Boston market, besides sup-
plying several retail stores.

Greenhouses Invaded by Deer.

Growers who have lost glass by either
hail or wind will appreciate an odd
experience of Mrs. Gill's many years
ago. A wild doe ran through two of
her greenhouses, doing considerable
damage to a bed of violets and breaking
so much glass that the $50 paid her by
the Great and General Court of Massa-
chusetts came far from recompensing
her for the damage done.

Of the florists' business, Mrs. Gill

said: "The pleasure of raising flowers
is not alone for one's self. No moie
acceptable gift for the sick, the sorrow-
ing or the poor can be sent than a bunc u
of posies."

So long as she was able to attend to it
herself, Mrs. Gill twice each week coii-
tributed flowers to the Flower Missicu
of Boston, which distributed then
among the hospitals and unfortunati ^
in that city. Her daughter continue s
the work.

Mrs. Gill was active in the busine .
until fourteen months ago, when h< :•
health forced her to give up the wor! .
Since that time she has been under th >
care of a nurse and has passed the care ;
of her business to others. She sti '
enjoys flowers in her room and h;.
gracefully yielded to the idea that sh
is old and must be taken care of.

QUINN'S BIG WEDDING OBDEB.

One of the largest wedding decora-
tion orders of the season in the neigh-
borhood of Boston was filled during the
first week of July by Stephen J. Quinn,
of Chestnut street, Brookline, for the
wedding of Miss Martha E. Rueter and
John G. Hepburne, at the First Uni-
tarian church.

The church, which is massive in
architecture and was built in revolu-
tionary times, was completely trans-
formed into a bower of flowers and
foliage. The chandeliers were covered
with flowers and foliage arranged in
ball shapes. The walls, aisles and
chancel were decorated with peonies,
hydrangeas, rhododendrons, spirseas.

palms, bay trees and laurel roping.
The rear of the church, as is shown by
the illustration on page 11, received
the same treatment. More than 1,000
peonies and 1,000 yards of laurel rop-
ing were used.

The floral decoration at the bride's
home in Jamaica Plain was even more
elaborate. There the flowers used
were roses with asparagus and Lygo-
dium scandens. A large tent on the
lawn was festooned with laurel, while
tastefully arranged on the grass were
bay trees, laurels and aucubas, making
a veritable forest.

Mr. Quinn 's artistic work received
much commendation from both his cus-
tomers and their guests.

LICENSES FOE FLORISTS.

I would like to ask through the col-
umns of The Review whether any of
the florists of the state of Missouri are
paying a license fee for the privilege
of doing business in their respective
cities; also, what such license is. I
always was under the impression that
florists who grow their own stock in thi?
state could not be made to pay a city
license. I would like to know more
about this license business before I pay
the city license demanded from thf
florists here. What do the florists who
buy and sell flowers, who operate cut
flower stores in the cities in this state,
have to pay in the wav of a citv li-
cense? C. H. G.— Mo.

Mrs. Ellen M. Gill, of Medford, Mass., First and Oldest Woman Florist.

A city's authority to impose license
restriction is given by its charter,
but in a general way it may be said
a city may institute any reasonable
restrictions and fees upon the favorable
vote of a designated percentage of the
city council. There are certain lines of
business which long have been recog-
nized as subject to special regulation l»y
license, but the florists' business is not
among them and it is not customary, in
Missouri or in any other state, to re-
quire florists to procure a special license

to do business. As the money needs of
cities have increased, however, many
cities have "assessed a tax in the form
of a license fee on the businesses of the
community; it applies to the hardware
merchant, the clothier and the depart-
ment store as well as the florist and the
latter has no special complaint unless
the fees are inequitable.

There is another kind of license, how-
ever, usually imposed at the request and
in behalf of the merchants who pay
taxes year after year — it is to keep out
the peddlers and itinerant merchants
who are here today and gone tomorrow.
Such licenses bear upon the florist in
accordance with the character of the
business he does; if he has a permanent
retail store he is almost certain to ap-
prove of them, but if his place is out-
side the corporate limits and he is
classed among the peddlers he is apt to
look upon such restrictions as interfer-
ing with the rights of a freeborn Ameri-
can citizen.

WINTER FLOWERS FROM SEED.

I would like to know what to sow in
my benches so as to have blooms dur-
ing January and February. When
should the seed be planted? I was
thinking of stocks, snapdragons and
mignonette, but perhaps you can sug-
gest something better.

C. F. R.— Ore.

Mignonette started now will begin
to flower late in October. Snapdragons
will give their first crop about Christ-
mas. Sow seeds of the intermediate va-
rieties. They will bloom until the fol-
lowing summer, as will the mignonette.
Calendulas sown about September 1 will

prove to be a good crop. Such stocks as
White and Pink Column and other forc-
ing varieties sown next month would
also come in at the time mentioned.
Sweet peas, if you have head room for
them, are fine winter bloomers. Use
the winter-blooming Spencers. The hy-
brid dimorphothecas may be started in
early October for flowering about Feb-
ruary 1. Annual larkspurs sown in Au-
gust will also start to bloom at the same
time. Most of these plants like a tem-
perature of 50 degrees at night, but
mignonette prefers cooler treatment, so
give it the coolest part of the house.

The Florists^ Review

July 19, 1917.

NEW MUTUAL INSURANCE.

All Flans Completed.

On page 18 of The Review for July
12 there is an article with regard to the
president of the S. A. F. having ap-
pointed a committee to investigate wind
storm insurance and report on it at the
New York convention. To make mat-
ters clear I would like to state a few
facts concerning the movement started
in Indiana, as I am certain the trade will
be interested in knowing how far the
details have been worked out.

First of all, we want the readers of
The Review to get fixed firmly in their
minds that the movement begun here in
Indiana is a real live issue. It has as-
sumed concrete form and there is no
longer any doubt as to its final success.
The State Florists' Association of In-
diana has assumed the responsibility
and is backing it with its money and
influence, acting as trustee until we have
perfected the new organization.

Good Lawyers On It.

One of the most expert firms of in-
surance lawyers in this section, Pick-
ens, Moores, Davidson & Pickens, In-
dianapolis, has been engaged to draw up
the constitution and by-laws along with
the policies and other documents. In
fact, most of this work has been done
and we shall be ready to solicit insur-
ance in a few days.

A considerable sum of money has al-
ready been spent and we are assured of
ample funds to carry the project to com-
pletion. We are incorporating under
the laws of Indiana and we propose to
comply fully with the laws of this state,
which in itself will be a guarantee to
prospective policy-holders of the sound-
ness of the insurance they will be asked
to buy.

A National Project.

Secondly, this is going to be a move-
ment of national scope. While we are
incorporating under the laws of Indiana
and the headquarters therefore natu-
rally will be in this state, we propose to
write insurance in every state in the
Union; in fact, we have already been
promised business from growers in al-
most every section just as soon as we
are in a position to write it.

Furthermore, profiting by the expe-
rience of other similar organizations, we
will write our insurance at such rates as
will obviate any feeling that one sec-
tion is carrying the insurance of an-
other section.

The organization will be mutual and
we propose to write insurance at cost,
as near as it is possible to do it.

Hail Insurance, Too.

Nearly all of those interested in this
movement have carried hail insurance
on their glass for many years. Some
of them have taken out wind storm
insurance in recent years in companies
■which do not confine their business to
greenhouse structures. This latter fea-
ture has never been to the liking of the
craft in general and there has developed
a strong feeling that both hail and wind
storm insurance should be supplied by

an organization controlled and operated
within the trade. This was brought to
a head this spring when several large
establishments were badly wrecked by
a series of storms and it seemed imper-
ative that something should be done
in an organized way to assist those who
suffered loss in these storms.

Give Credit for Starting Something.

It has never been our idea that a sep-
arate organization should be started to
carry wind storm risks, but rather that
one company should carry both hail and
wind storm risks, so that there would
never need be any contention over the
question of what portion of the loss
should be charged against each of these
elements. To that end the State
Florists' Association of Indiana sent a
request to the Florists' Hail Association
of America asking it to add the wind
storm feature to the hail insurance it
is writing, stating plainly that unless a
way could be found to do this, we pro-
posed to organize for the purpose of
writing insurance which will embrace
both of these elements. Our request did
not meet with a favorable response, and
so we are proceeding to organize for the
purpose of supplying what is wanted.
That there is plenty of business waiting
for us is evidenced on all sides.

As stated above, we are organizin<f
under the laws of Indiana and the Statu
Florists' Association will act as trustee
until we get going, but we propose tu
make it a representative national S( -
ciety, with a directorate scattered over
a wide territory, and the only connectio,.
Indiana will have with the organizatio ,
will be the fact that the headqua'rtei
will be here and the Indiana society wi .
always be credited with having take
the initiative in a movement which wi;.
be a boon to the trade at large.

We shall be grateful for any assist
ance in the way of endorsement off ere
by local, state or national organization
after a full investigation of the insur
ance we will have to offer. The organ
ization will be known as the Florists
Mutual Casualty Association, Incorpo
rated.

Will Start vrith MiUion Feet.

The laws of Indiana require us to se
cure not less than $500,000 worth or'
risks, which means over a million feet of
glass. We are allowing ourselves two
months to reach these figures, after
which the State Florists' Association
of Indiana, as trustee, will turn the
business over to the new organization,
which will have been perfected.

We feel that we are entitled to
kindly consideration at the hands of the
trade, because we have gone ahead, put-
ting in our best efforts and our money.

So far no one has pointed out any in-
dication that this project will not meet
every need along the line of hail and
wind storm insurance.

Mignonette.

Mignonette can be sown now if early
flowers in fall are wanted, but, as a mat-
ter of fact, the spikes will not come of
first-class quality until the coldest part
of the winter, when they also sell the
best. Mignonette must have cool cul-
ture at all times if really fine spikes are
wanted. It will grow well in either
raised benches or solid beds. Care
should be taken not to attempt its cul-
ture where heating pipes run below the
benches, as mignonette loves a cool,
moist soil. For compost a good chrys-
anthemum or rose soil will answer well,
and I find it succeeds well in six inches
of soil. It is an advantage to place the
soil in the bench a week or two before
time for sowing the seeds and give it
one or two scratchings over to kill the
weeds.

Buy seed of one of the special forcing
strains offered by several prominent
seedsmen. If the benches are occupied
by other crops, start the seeds in small
pots, later planting them out a foot
apart each way. The same space may be
allowed where the seeds are sown
directly in the benches. The number of
seedlings in each space should be re-
duced to three. These will need close
watching, as green caterpillars, or cab-
bage worms, are fond of them and will

soon clean up a batch of plants. In
winter give mignonette a minimum of
42 to 45 degrees and it will come stocky.

Fansies.

It is somewhat early to sow the main
batch of pansies to be wintered outdoors,
but where they are to be grown under
glass the seed can go in at once. Pro-
cure the best possible strain; one which
gives long stems, in addition to large
and attractive flowers, is what is needed.
It will be noticed that in a large batch
of pansies certain plants carry much
longer stems than others. These should,
if possible, be lifted and isolated and
seed taken from them. Mixed bunches
sell fairly well, but those of one de-
cided color go much better. Sow the
pansy seed at this early date in a cold-
frame where it can he watered and
shaded; the germination will then be
speedier and more certain than when the
sowing is done outdoors. For the aver-
age grower Giant Trimardeau answers
well. This may be had in several
colors. A number of American special-
ists have been working on pansies for
some time and now have strains equal
in quality to the best European ones.

Hardy Roses.

lo not neglect the hardy roses in the
Id or garden as soon as their heavy
' ■ .p of flowers is passing. If you want
i (' yield of flowers to be continuous and
( good quality, your roses should be fed
I ,(ini time to time through the season. If
'. a have no cow manure, use top-dress-
in <xs of dried blood, tankage or sheep
Tnanure and scratch over the surface
]..>fore a rain comes along. Liquid cow
inanure, applied directly after a heavy
rain, will prove wonderfully stimulating.
<:iit away the faded roses and the seeds,
and do not overlook the Manetti, brier
or other stocks starting from the base of
many plants. As soon as ramblers have
finished blooming they should be pruned.
Cut away the old flowering canes en-
tirely and let the strength go into the
young canes that are coming up. Hybrid
tea roses outdoors become more popular
each year. It is well to remember, how-
ever, that some of the hybrid perpetuals
are persistent summer bloomers — such
sorts, for instance, as Mrs. John Laing,
General Jacqueminot, Mrs. Sharman-
Crawford and Mme. Gabriel Luizet.

Freesias.

New freesia bulbs now are procurable
and a batch should be potted or placed
in pans at once if a Christmas crop is
wanted. Purity is the freesia par ex-
cellence and will come in ahead of re-
fracta alba. I find that by growing it
in deep pans eight or ten inches in diam-
eter and planting the bulbs fairly thick
the plants will produce stems twenty-
four to thirty inches long and be seen at
their best. After potting the freesias,
stand them in a coldframe and cover
the pots with leaves or dry moss. Cover
Avith board shutters, to keep the plants
dark and prevent drying out. When
fjrowth commences, give the plants full
light. Give freesias a light, rather rich
soil, with a good dash of sand added, but
Jo not use any chemical fertilizers in the
soil.

Winter Begonias.

This is the time of more rapid growth
with all the winter-flowering begonias.
1^0 not shade them too heavily. Pick
'ff the flowers as they appear and give
'he plants the necessary shifts, using
a light compost. Soil containing a
good deal of half rotted leaf-mold seems
to suit these begonias to a nicety. Cut-
tings of both Cincinnati and Lorraine,
put in even as late as this, will make
neat little plants in small pots for the
holiday trade, and of these small sizes
there usually is a shortage.

Genistas.

Give genistas an occasional clipping
to keep them shapely. The plants should
now be plunged outdoors, and if kept
well watered and sprayed over they will
make plenty of growth. To the unin-
itiated it might be well to say that ge-

nistas can be planted outdoors and will
make remarkable growth in a short time.
They cannot be lifted successfully, how-
ever; even if they do not die when
lifted, thejr will lose a large part of their
foliage. For this reason pot culture is
far the best method.

applications of liquid manure when well
rooted in their pots.

Keep the baby ramblers plunged to
the brims of the pots, water them well
and spray them freely. Early in No-
vember store them in a dry, frost-proof
shed or storehouse, and keep them dried
at the root. Start tlie plants into
growth nine or ten weeks before Easter,
pruning lightly first. ' C. W.

Pot the hydrangeas as soon as they
are received. Give them tlie protection
of coldframes or a cold greenhouse, to
ripen the wood well. Gradually reduce
the water supply and keep tlie plants
just clear of freezing during the winter.
The French hydrangeas are much earlier
and more satisfactory Easter bloomers
than Otaksa, and I would advise you to
use them. Start your plants in a tem-
perature of 50 degrees about January
20 and give 60 degrees as the flower
heads show. Keep the plants cooler as
the heads show color. Hydrangeas need

The Florists^ Review

July 19, 1917.

SOCIETY OF AMERICAN FLORISTS.

THE CONVENTION PROGRAM.

Of More Than Ordinary Interest.

With the convention only one calen-
dar month distant, it is most gratifying
to realize that arrangements for the
convention garden, the trade exhibi-
tion and the convention itself are prac-
tically completed, and that there re-
mains only the big attendance, which
all the workers confidently expect, to
insure that the 1917 convention will
be the greatest in the history of the so-
ciety.

The convention program will be
mailed to members this week, and a
careful consideration of it will show
that there are subjects of most vital
importance to come before the conven-
tion, subjects which entail action tend-
ing toward great benefit to the trade
generally.

The promotion of the proposed bureau
of credits and collections has been be-
fore the executive board, and that body
has done what it could to facilitate the
commencement of the actual work of
promotion. But great ideas, as well as
great bodies, move slowly, and it will
not be until the project has been thor-
oughly threshed out in convention that
actual work, with full powers conferred
by the society, can begin.

The subject, "Publicity for Flowers,"
will again occupy the attention of the
convention. While the full aims of the
society have proved to be far from pos-
sible along the lines considered, much
good work has been done, and it is
hoped the subject will be fully dis-
cussed, in order that a course of action
may be decided upon which shall lead
to the results desired.

May Be Danger Here.

There is a rumor that the Interstate
Commerce Commission is to be ap-
proached by the express companies for
a ruling as to whether a delay of
twenty-four hours in the delivery of
perishable goods should be considered
otherwise than reasonable. It goes
without saying that a ruling from the
standpoint of the express companies
would result in much hardship for our
growers in the shipment of stock to
the markets, and the trade in general
would suffer much injury. This matter
should receive the serious attention of
the convention.

The extension of the sentiment at-
taching to Mothers' day is another im-
portant matter slated for discussion,
one in which nearly all branches of the
trade are deeply interested.

The report of the National Flower
Show committee, to be presented by
Chairman George Asmus, will, it is ex-
pected, take up the greater part, if not
the whole, of one session. The report
will demonstrate that the wisdom of
doing things on a large scale is un-
challengeable, and that immense bene-
fits in the way of publicity for florists'
productions naturally follows.

The work of the committee on tariff
and legislation will be fully considered
and the discussions will be most inter-
esting, especially in view of the fact
that certain legislation derogatory to

the interests of florists has been deemed
sufficiently important to render the en-
gagement of legal counsel absolutely
necessary in the stand being made by
our society.

Allied Organizations.

The various sectional societies will
hold meetings as usual, and in view of
the fact that certain of these societies
are now cooperating with the S. A. F.
in much of its work, these meetings
will take on more than usual impor-
tance.

The Florists' Telegraph Delivery,
which is distinctly a section of our so-
ciety, will hold an important meeting
on the first day of the convention, and
President William F. Gude and Secre-
tary Albert Pochelon will at this meet-
ing welcome all retail florists who may
be in attendance at the convention,
whether members or not, in order that
the objects and system of the organiza-

IRJVliHY now and then a well-

appreciated.

tiser. We especially wish to interest

tion may be fully explained to them and
the benefit attaching to a membership
demonstrated.

In line with other important work
taken up by the society will be a dis-
cussion of a project to form a bureau
of insurance against storm damage.
President Kerr some time ago appoint-
ed a committee to consider this impor-
tant matter, and the report of this com-
mittee will be presented at the con-
vention. All florists interested in this
subject should surely be in attendance.
The Florists' Hail Insurance Associa-
tion has proved a great success in spite
of serious misgivings at the start, and
it is possible that a plan for insurance
^against storm damage can be evolved
with equal success.

Many Hospitalities Planned.

"The Florists' Business in Relation
to the War," will be another subject
for full discussion. Some able speakers
will deal with the various phases of the
subject and it is expected that much
doubt as to the accomplishment of

"business as usual" will be dispells 1.

Complying with the wishes of the cv--
ecutive board, all organized forms f
entertainment for visitors to this co i-
vention have been dispensed with, ai,d
such entertainment as will be profferi d
will be largely of a private characti r,
although, perhaps, none the less enjo -
able. The New York trade will see o
it that hospitality is not wanting and
with the many pleasures and attractioi s
at all times to be found in New Yor' ,
visitors are not likely to greatly mi s
the functions such as have been in evi-
dence at former conventions.

The Ladies' Society of American
Florists will, as is customary, ha\e
quarters in the Grand Central Palaci ,
near the secretary's office, where Mrs.
Charles H. Maynard, its secretary, will
be in attendance to receive members
and visitors.

\. F. J. Baur proposed that the as-
sociation back a flower show at the city
conservatory this fall. He said he be-
lieved that such an exhibition would be
good for the florists of Indianapolis and
tho state. He also encouraged members
to enter stock at the state fair. The
amateur classes had been eliminated, he
said, and the money heretofore devoted
to prizes in this class will now be dis-
tributed among the commercial growers.

lowing additions to the usual classes:

WHERE HOUSES AEE TOO WARM.

i would like to know a solution of the
pii'blem of how to keep greenhouses cool

West can heat our houses, but when it
comes to keeping them cool in the sum-
mer we are up against it. What plan
of construction is best for a summer
li' use? I expect to build this fall and
I want a house that will give me a rea-
S""able temperature from May to Octo-
t>er. My present house extends east and

' • ding north and south. Am I correct
lliinking an east and west house is

^ fiis is a pertinent question and one

t should receive more attention from

thern growers. So far as I know,

"re is not a single artificial arrange-

■iit to keep greenhouses cool in sum-

VINCENT J. GORLY.

A/'INCENT J. GOELY has not lived all his life in St. Louis. No, not yet. But
▼ the forty years that he has been among the living have been spent there and
it is probable, judging the future by past performance, that he will continue to
make that city his home for the balance of his allotted time. And there are many
hundreds of St. Louisians, both in and out of the trade, who ardently hope so. For
Mr. Gorly is the president of Grimm & Gorly, and as such adds to the joys of the
consumers by providing the flowers that make their lives more worth the living,
incidentally bringing happiness to grower and wholesaler because of the quantity
of flowers the Grimm & Gorly customers buy. Mr. Gorly has been in the florists'
trade since he was 21 years old. That he has made a success is evidenced by the
fact that the firm employs forty persons. His brother, Frank, and sister, Jose-
phine, also are connected with the concern, so it is much of a family affair.

100 degrees in the shade we cannot ex-
pect a temperature of 80 degrees under
glass.

The best house for the south is the
narrow one, say twenty feet in width,
with almost continuous ventilation on
both sides of the ridge, and also side
ventilation. Two, or even three, such
houses may be joined with iron gutters,
but in that event the houses should not
run over 100 feet in length, in order to
get the full benefit of the open doors or
end sash. Two houses, each twenty feet
in width, joined together, may cost a
little more to build than one house forty
feet wide, but the fact that the two nar-
row houses will have double the amount
of top ventilation will more than bal-
ance the extra expense. Such houses will
grow roses splendidly, even during the
hottest months, if the walks are kept

well dampened down and the plants
sprayed a few times each day. A light
shade may also be applied to the roof.
By all means I would advise running
the houses north and south, or within a
point or two either way. Such houses
are decidedly cooler and cause no great
amount of discomfort to the workmen.
I have worked in houses running east
and west where it was crucifying to re-
main more than half an hour at a time
during the hot months, but I have never
been seriously inconvenienced working
in such houses as I have tried to
describe. L.

GOOD-BYE!

Thou Good and Faithful Servant.

For a decade Killarney has had a
place on the benches of Wendland &
Keimel Co., rose growers at Elmhurst,
111., but the records show that it now is
less profitable than other, newer varie-
ties and it has been discarded.

After clearing the last bench of Kil-
larney the company's statistician com-
piled the following little summary of
the ten years' records:

Total numbor of Killarney plants

grown, 1908 to 1917 154,100

At the foot of these figures W. J.

Keimel inscribed, with sentiment akin

to regret, the heading of this note,

"Good-bye, thou good and faithful

RESTING THE ROSES.

Referring to the reply by H. O. to the
inquiry of E. C, Ind., relative to the
best metliod to pursue in drying off
roses, in the issue of July 12, I take the
liberty of assuming the role of a dissen-
tient in regard to the theory H. O. ex-
pounds. My conception of the philoso-
phy of drying off greenhouse roses after
a season of activity argues that a com-
plete and not a partial rest is essential.
A deep and vigor-renewing sleep, not a
light nap.

Botanical theory regarding the bio-
logical transition that takes place in
trees and shrubs existing in a state of
nature in the temperate zone at the
time activity of growth is supplanted by
dormancy, as I have interpreted it, con-
clusively demonstrates that defoliation
of deciduous plants is a vital part of
vegetable economy and must occur an-
nually in order that their destiny's great-
est prophecy may be fulfilled.

The leaves, it has been pointed out, as
the organs of respiration, digestion and
assimilation, in the performance of their
functions give rise to the accumulation
of waste matter. Their facilities to care
for the waste are sufficient for a period
of six or seven months, but after that
time a purging of the system is neces-
sary. Nature most efficiently adminis-
ters the purgative by cooling the soil
iu the autumn, which tends to retard

imbibition of moisture by the roots and
results in the recession of stored up and
unutilized manufactured compounds in
the leaf cells, to the branches and stock.
When this conservation process is con-
summated, the leaves, with their residue
of waste, commence to fall.

Rose plants existing under artificial
conditions in the greenhouse must con-
form to the fundamental laws of vege-
table economy, and as the state of na-
ture demonstrates the great essentiabili-
ty of dormancy following activity, a rest
that terminates in complete defoliation
should be afforded them if maximum
productivity is desired.

DOINGS AT AMES.

It has been a busy season at the Iowa
State College. A herbaceous perennial
garden was started this spring and is
now coming along nicely. It is laid out
in beds twelve feet in width and fifty
feet in length, separated by wide grass
paths. There are more than 300 dif-
ferent species and varieties includ'ed in

The most probable cause of the leaA .^s
dying is lack of moisture at the roois.
Perhaps the soil is more shallow where
the affected plants are growing. I
could not see any disease marks on tiie
leaf sent. Occasionally mildew will
whiten the foliage of hydrangeas. In
that case sulphur should be dusted over
the plants attacked or they should bo
sprayed with a fungicide containing sul-
phur. C. W.

Mansfield, O. — Stuhldreher Bros, are
adding a greenhouse, 40x112, to their
range at Lexington and Cline avenues.
Increased business has made the addi-
tion necessary. It will be planted to
chrysanthemums. The new house in-
creases the firm's range to 35,000 feet
of glass.

Perhaps the most interesting news in
this issue of The Review is contained
in the letter of A. F. J. Baur, stating the
steps taken by Indiana florists to or-
ganize the Florists' Mutual Casualty
Association, to write both hail and wind
storm insurance.

A suit for $25,000 damages has been
started against Timothy Smith, the
Clevelander, the complainant alleging
that his skull was fractured when the
automobile in which he was riding was
struck by a car said to have been in
charge of Mr. Smith's son. It pays to
carry liability insurance on the car.

Bom with a horseshoe in his hand,
was J. M. Johnston, of McKeesport,
Pa., for Mr. Johnston is one of the
lucky few who have a strangle hold on
the high cost of coal. Mr. Johx.ston
possesses such a precious thing as a
coal mine on his place, and since open-
ing it this summer the mine has pro-
duced enough coal for his needs and a
surplus,* which the florist-miner is sell-
ing. The high prices of coal look dif-
ferent to Mr. Johnston than they do
to most of us.

METHODS OF PROPAGATION.

I'j'lils Is the fourth installment of extracts
fi.iii a paper read by T. D. Hatfield, of Welles-
1,' Mass., at a meeting of the Massachusetts
j'l.ii'ticultural Society. The fifth will appear in
;,,i early issue.]

Relation of Stock and Scion.

There is one essential that must
jicver be lost sight of and that is, the
cti»ek and scion must be in about the
!j;,me state of activity; it is probably
l.ttter if the stock is a little ahead of
tiie scion. Even though they be dor-
itinnt, both should be evenly matched
when working them.

ji'or indoor grafting the roots of the
ptock must be active, even though the
vlant has otherwise made little growth.
Ir is well, too, that the scions be brought
ill a little time before being worked,
so as to get some life into them.

As to which method is adopted, that
depends on the time of the year, the
kind of plant, the condition of the stock
and scion and the object in view. What-
ever is done, it will take time and ex-
jierience to succeed. Indoor grafts, ex-
ec [)ting conifers, may be waxed over,
tied up in bundles, and packed away in
.sphagnum moss until united. Outdoor
grafting should be done in spring, near
the ground level, and earthed up. There
will be no need to wax them over. Dor-
mant stock grafted indoors in winter
may be stored in moist soil or sand until
tlie time comes for planting them out.

Generally one must graft like on like,
but there are exceptions, for we are
not limited to the same species or even
genus. Some plants are increased in
vigor by the use of a stronger-growing
species or variety for a stock, and the
reverse may happen.

Own-root and Grafted Roses.

No better illustration of the effect of
stock on scion could be given than the
rose. Most roses could be easily got on
their own roots by cuttings or layers.
Tea and hybrid tea roses grafted or
budded on the Manetti attain more
vigor than when on their own roots and
this is the universal practice now. Boses
grafted or budded on the English brier,
which has a distinct period of winter
rest, do not force so well as when on
the Manetti, which grows more or less
all the time. On the contrary, roses
on the brier are better for outdoor
planting.

The Paradise apple stock is used for
dwarfing apples. For dwarfing pears a
different genus, cydonia, is used. Al-
though the apple and pear belong to the
same genus, they cannot be successfully
grafted on each other.

The hawthorn evidently has an un-
usually affinity with several members
of the pomifera or apple group. Pears,
cotoneasters and mespilus can be graft-
ed on it, all different genera. From a
shoot near the union between the haw-
thorn and the mespilus has arisen what
is known as a graft hybrid, named cra-
tajgo-mespilus, intermediate in charac-
ter between the two parents. Cytisus
can be grafted on caragana, lilacs on
privet, and there are other anomalous
cases.

Stocks for Fruit Trees. -

Plums may be grafted on peaches, and
peaches on plums. For light soils and in
the south, peach stock is preferred. For
heavier soils and in the north, plum
stock is preferred. European peaches
and plums may be grafted on the native
Prunus americana stock.

The scions of dwarf stocks should be
kept above ground. When planted, there

is a chance that the annual layers of
growth may overlap and, eventually
reaching the ground and rooting, may
put the plant on its own roots and the
dwarfing may be lost. This happened on
an estate not far from Boston, where the
fillers, dwarfs or supposed to be, got
on their own roots and their value as
such was lost. Attaining normal size,
they crowded the permanent trees and
had to be cut out prematurely.

ficers want to make the Galesburg meet-
ing the largest in the history of the
association.

HAIL AT GREENCASTLE, IND.

A hail storm struck Greencastle, Ind.,
July 13, and destroyed 1,650 feet of
glass on the range of John Eitel & Son.
Damage to stock was estimated at $2,-
000. A field of 6,000 carnation plants
was ruined. Farm crops also were bad-
ly damaged.

The storm lasted half an hour, during
which hailstones like the proverbial
ones, "as large as hens' eggs," were
picked up. This was the first hail storm
that ever had visited the Eitel range.

Eitel & Son report that they had a
good season and their other stock looks
good.

ADVERTISING ILLINOIS MEET.

As a means of interesting the ama-
teurs in the flower show to be held in
connection with the fall meeting of the
Illinois State Florists' Association at
Galesburg November 6 and 7, I. L. Pills-
bury, president of the association, and
K. F. Drury, both of Galesburg, are
giving chrysanthemum plants to the
children of that city. Premiums will be
awarded for the best plants grown by
the boys and girls and each one making
an exhibit will be given a free ticket
for the show.

With the printed announcement of
this opportunity for the Galesburg ama-
teurs are instructions for growing

FALL SHOW AT DES MOINES.

Approximately $2,500 are to be
awarded to winning exhibitors in the
autumn flower show of the Iowa florists,
which will be held at Des Moines, No-
vember 7 to 10. It is expected that the
premiums will attract entries not only
from Iowa florists, but also from
florists of the neighboring states,
the eighty-five classes comprising
twenty classes for cut mums, thirteen
for roses and ten for carnations, in ad-
dition to those for flowering and fo-
liage plants, decorative work and nurs-
ery stock.

A number of special classes now being
planned will be contained in the sched-
ule, which will be ready for distribu-
tion August 1. Copies may be had by
addressing J. S. Wilson, show man-
ager, Des Moines, la.

BRIEF ANSWERS.

C. C. M., Ky. — The soil looks good.
For analysis of it, send a sample to
the State Experiment Station at Lex-
ington, Ky.

J. J., 111. — None of the catalogues
lists "Tree Irrigator" tiles. Perhaps
a reader will give the address of the
manufacturer.

Washington, D. 0. — The senate has
passed a bill providing for the enlarg-
ing of the United States Botanic Gar-
den by adding to its present area East
and West Seaton parks, which lie im-
mediately west of the garden. The ac-
tion was taken without debate.

Own-root and Grafted Roses.

No better illustration of tlie effect of
.^tork on scion could bo given tlian the
iiisc. Most roses could be easily got on
their own roots by cuttings or layers.
Tea and hybrid tea roses grafted or
I'udded on th(> !Manetti attain more
^ Igor than when on their own roots and
tliis is the universal practice now. Hoses
U'vafted or budded on the English brier,
^vliich has a distinct ]ieriod of winter
icst, do not force so well as when on
tlie Manetti, which grows more or less
all the time. On tlic contrary, roses
on the brier are better for outdoor
planting.

The Taradise apple stock is used for
■Iwarfing apples. For dwarfing jiears a
'lifferent genus, cydonia, is used. Al-
'liough the apjile and pear belong to the
same genus, tiiey cannot be successfully
L^rafted on each other.

The hawthorn evidently has an un-
usually aflinity with several memltcrs
'd' the pomifera or apple group. Pears,
' otoneasters and mespilus can be graft-
'•d on it, all different genera. From a
■^hoot near the union between the haw
Mioni and the mespilus has arisen wiiat
is known as a graft iiybrid, named cra-
■a'goniespilus, intermeilinto in charac-
ter lietween the two ])arents. Cytisus
lan be grafted on caragana, lilacs on
privet, and there are otiier anomalous
'•ases.

Stocks for Fruit Trees.

I'lums ni.ay lie grafted on peadies, and
])ea(dies on plums. For liglit soils and in
the south, ))eacli stock is jireferred. For
heavier soils and in tiie north, plum
stock is preferred. Phiropean peaclies
and ]dums may be grafted on the native
Prunus americana sto<dv.

is a (diance that tlic annual layers of

an estate not far from Boston, wlicre the
tillers, dwarfs or supposed to be, got
on their own roots and their \aluc as
such was lost. Attaining iinnnal size,
they crowded the permanent trees and
had to be cut out prematurely.

HYBRIDIZING CUCUMBERS.

Can you tell me how to cross the
English frame cucumber, Telegraph,
with Vickery Forcing, an improved
White Spine, to produce the hybrid cu-
cumber for greenhouse use? The hy-
brid is supposed to have the good quali-
ties of both, being well shaped and a
heavy cropper. Any information in
regard to this will be appreciated.

N. C. N.— Kan.

Pick off a male flower of the Tele-
graph and strip away the petals, leaving
only the central part of the flower.
Fertilize with this a female flower or
flowers of the Vickery White Spine
type; the female flowers produce the
fruit. Protect the fertilized flower or
flowers with fine gauze to prevent ferti-
lization by bees or other outside agents.
It is a safe plan to protect the flowers
to be fertilized before they are open;
then you are sure your cross is not inter-
fered with. It would be best to ferti-
lize the flowers on one or two plants
and to remove all the fruits from these
except the ones you have fertilized, to
allow the fruits to reach their best de-
velopment. A vice versa cross would
probably give similar results. C. W.

BUFFALO.

The Market.

As we are well into the third week
of July, business has a right, so to
speak, to be a trifle slow. Although
during the second week the retailer had
nothing but rain to contend with, so far
July is said to compare favorably with
the same month of many previous years.

There is an abundant supply of every-
thing in the market; in fact, in some in-
stances there is an oversupply. An ex-
ception should be made of good Ameri-
can Beauties. These are few, but Eus-
sell and Francis Scott Key readily re-
place them. The Killarneys have suc-
cumbed to mildew, but there are plenty
of others to fill the gap. Carnations

have held up exceptionally well, a condi-
tion attributed to the cool weather.
Sweet peas are available in quantities,
but many of them are inferior. Del-
phiniums, mignonette, snapdragons and
calendulas arrive in large consignments
and seem to clear daily, though how is
difficult to say. The greens situation
has improved.

Various Notes.

Tracy Dickinson, who has been asso-
ciated with L. C. Stroh & Sons, of Ba-
tavia, has enlisted in a military band
at Syracuse. Walter Stroh was in town
last week.

Henry Wise, who ha,s been manager
for the Erie Floral Co. for the last
twelve years, has tendered his resigna-
tion since the recent change in owner-
ship from the Kasting Co. Mr. Wise
was a successful manager, and had his
share of difficulties to overcome.

The Buffalo Florists' Club will hold
its annual outing at Smith's grove,
Genesee street and Union road, July
25. Picnickers should take the Gene-
see street car to the city line, and from
there take the Depew car. The grounds
are a five minutes' walk from the car
line. • A. E.

KANSAS CITY, MO.

The Market.

The demand for good stock fluctuates,
being good one day and poor the next.
Gladioli, lilies, roses, carnations and
perennials are about the only flowers
in the market. Gladioli sell best, with
roses close seconds. There is an abun-
dance of stock, especially the poorer
grade, much of which is sold on the
streets.

No one, however, is complaining about
business, which is at least as good
as during the summer months of other
years. There has been considerable fu-
neral work during the last two weeks.

Various Notes.

James B. Masson has purchased a
new delivery automobile. He has his
houses all planted and everything in
readiness for the season. Mr. Masson
says he has been exceptionally busy with
funeral work.

W. J. Barnes has been busy with fu-
neral work.

Eay Sturgeon has sold about all his
stock. He will retire from the green-
house business and go on a farm.

The growers are busy getting their
places ready for fall. E. D. Ellsworth
has his houses at Forest lake planted
and R. S. Brown & Son are fast getting
their houses into shape.

The Stockdale greenhouses have been
doing a big business in young chrysan-
themum plants.

S. Bryson Ayres is sending in a lot of
good sweet peas. His gladioli also are
good.

T. J. Noll & Co. report that business
continues good. They have been ship-
ping large orders recently.

Henry Kusik soon will leave for Chi-
cago and Milwaukee en route to Colo-
rado. W. J. B.

PROVIDENCE, R. I.

Mark A. Cassidy, of M. A. Cassidy &
Co., who was badly injured by the over-
turning of an automobile in which he
was riding, about a month ago, returned
to his office last week.

According to the annual assessments,
the Budlong Rose Co. has an excess of
$64,632, which is taxed for $258.52.

Mr. and Mrs. T. L. O'Connor last
week arrived at the Mathewson, Narra-
gansett Pier, for the season.

Archie Serro, an employee at the Kop-
pelman greenhouses. East Providence,
was struck by an automobile last week
as he rode out of a lane near the green-
houses on his way home. He suffered
a fracture of the collar bone.

Harry Swanson has been taking a few
days ' respite from business with friends
at Shawomet beach.

Earl Smith, of Pawtucket, is enjoying
short trips about New England in his
new automobile. W. H. M.

POEHLMANN PROGRESS.

The old-time florist, whose memories
of the trade reach back over the last
score of years, cannot but be impressed
when he contrasts in his mind the busi-
ness establishments of today with what
they have been in even the quite recent
past. And this improvement has not
been confined to any one branch or de-'
partment, but has included all sections
of the trade. As the retailer grew, his
needs increased proportionately and
many supply houses sprang up to cater
to his wants. Starting in a small way,
many of these supply businesses have
grown steadily until they are establish-
ments of no mean proportions.

The accompanying illustration shows
a portion of the supply department dis-
play room of Poehlmann Bros, Co., Chi-
cago, recently opened. This occupies a
space of about 5,000 square feet and is
adjacent to the company's wholesale
cut flower store. Begun in a small way
about five years ago, this department
has grown to large proportions and the
opening of the new display room marks
another station in this march onward.
The department is under the manage-
ment of T. E. Waters. '

Oneco, Fla. — Arthur James, for thirty
years a florist of Pittsburgh, Pa., has
begun work here on a fernery, on a tract
of sixty acres. Mr. James at first will
specialize in the various types of neph-
rolepis, which he will wholesale in
the northern markets. Later he ex-
pects to grow asparagus, crotons and
rubber plants.

OBITUARY

Ludwlg Teweles.

The veteran seedsman of Milwaukee,

iidwig Teweles, president of the L.

'eweles Seed Co., and for fifty-three

■ .>ars prominent in the trade, died last

. eek from heart failure, at the age of

'). He is survived by five sons, Hugo,

,.rthur. Max, Oscar and Edwin, who

will continue the business, and a daugh-

<or, Mrs. H. Herz, of New York.

Alice Josephine Miller.

One of the first women florists of the
(»uth, Alice J. Miller, who conducted
,! store in Louisville, Ky., for the last
hirty-five years, died suddenly last
week from heart failure. Miss Miller
was found dead at the rear of her
home, and apparently had been on her
way to open the store. She was 61
years of age and had been in failing
iiealth for some time. Two brothers
and four sisters survive her.

INDIANAPOLIS, IND.

The Market.

Business has been fair and the sup-
ply of stock has been moved. There
has been an abundance of lilies, which
have been in demand for funeral work.
Those of good quality sell at from $6
to $8 per hundred. Eoses are above the
average summer quality. The supply
is adequate, with prices ranging from
$2 to $6 per hundred. Gladioli are
popular and there has not been a sup-
ply sufficient for the demand. They
bring $5 to $6 per hundred. Snap-
dragons also are in demand. Good qual-
ity flowers sell at $1 to $2 per hundred.
Sweet peas and Shasta daisies are im-
portant items now. Dahlias are begin-
ning to make their appearance, but not
in quantities.

Delphinium temporarily is out of the
market, the first crop having been ex-
hausted and the second not ready. As-
ters are in, but are of poor quality.
Prices range from $1.50 to $2.50 per
hundred. There is the usual supply of
outdoor flowers. Good fancy ferns are
in the market. Plumosus and Sprengeri
are scarce and smilax is of inferior
quality.

Various Notes.

E. A. Nelson's automobile was in an-
other accident, but the occupants of the
machine were not hurt.

Bert Stanley and Carl Glaubke have
been cutting some fine hardy stock.

Blasting for a sewer in the street
near the establishments of John Grande
and John Grande, Jr., did considerable
damage to their glass.

M. A. Barick, of Seymour, Ind., re-
ports that he speedily is getting his
greenhouses in shape. They were badly
damaged recently by a hail storm. This
was the third time hail has hit his
place.

Robert Fohl has been cutting excel-
lent Shasta daisies, some of which were
five inches in diameter.

Claude Griffith is away on a short va-
cation.

There had been a drought on the
south side during three weeks, while on
the north side there had been quanti-
ties of rain. However, a steady down-

pour brought relief to the stock on both
sides last week.

Frank Harriott, who until recently
was a grower of hardy stock, is now
a cook at the army camp at Fort Har-
rison.

Mr. Dudderstadt, with A. Wiegand's
Sons Co., recently lost his little son.
The trade extends its sympathy.

Help is scarce, the army camp at Fort
Harrison having taken most of the men
available. E. E. T.

EOCHESTER, N. Y.

The Market.

During the last week the flower mar-
ket has been in a hopeless condition, and
it seems likely to continue so for at least
a couple of weeks. The main reason for
this condition is the belated arrival of
outdoor flowers, which were just about
three weeks later than usual. Ordi-
narily the glut of outdoor stock prevails
about the middle of June, when wed-
dings and commencements call for a
large portion of the stock. Now large
quantities of the flowers are here and
consequently much greenhouse stock is
not purchased.

The markets and stores are quiet
places these days. Apart from the ordi-
nary run of business, there is little
funeral work to help to move the flow-
ers. Roses are in large supply, but the
greater part of them are short. Ophelia
and Sunburst move well. Prices are con-
siderably lower than they were and good
stock can be bought for $2 to $3 per
hundred. There is a quantity of Har-

risii lilies, and these are offered at low
prices to clear. Large spikes of gla-
dioli reach the market and move easily.
Candytuft and gypsophilas are brought
to the market in quantities. There is
an abundance of good sweet peas, which
are cleared at low summer prices. Car-
nations are extremely plentiful and
bring about $1 per hundred for the best
flowers. Large Shasta daisies sell well,
but there is no special demand for or-
chids. Japanese irises are plentiful and
come in handy for window displays.
The market is well stocked with all
kinds of seasonable greens.

Various Notes.

Hugo Teute has a large crop of car-
nations that hangs on account of the
dull business. He is moving many chrys-
anthemum plants, most of the orders
coming from out-of-town patrons.

Frank Peartree and Leo Mahoney, em-
ployees of George T. Boucher, are on
their vacations. Mr. and Mrs. Boucher
and children are on an automobile trip
to Evanston, 111. They will be away
for about two weeks.

The net proceeds of the Rochester
peony exhibition recently held at Con-
vention hall in aid of the Red Cross
were about $161.

Charles W. Curtis is cutting some fine
sweet peas, with good, long stems. If
everything goes well he expects to have
about 20,000 gladioli this year.

John Orgar, of Irondequoit, is grow-
ing some topnotch outdoor bachelor's
buttons. His carnations, considering
the lateness of the season, are especially
good. H. J. H.

"So pants the elk for cooling
streams," a member of the B. P. O.
Elks was overheard to remark to a
group of fellow Elks gathered around
and admiring the unique window deco-
ration at the Penn store, during the
Elk convention at Boston last week. A
pen and ink description can do but
feeble justice to a display that was
considered a perfect depiction of Elk-
dom. One side of the window contained
the usual summer exhibit of ducklings
and water, a display that never seems
to grow old, judging by the crowds con-
stantly viewing it. The special subject
was a herd of elks browsing in a valley,
with here and there finger posts, upon
which were written the several virtu-
ous tenets of the order. In the back-
ground, on a hill, stood the chapel, be-
side which a cooling stream gushed
forth. It was all symbolic of the order
and highly interesting, even to the
casual observer. Delegates from Ha-
waii and the Philippines were noted
among the spectators, and what a card
it was for Penn! The opposite window
contained a display of choice summer
flowers, richly bowled and artistically
arranged.

S. J. Goddard, of Framingham, Mass.,
has a few standard geraniums left with
which to adorn his residence. The va-
riety is J. J. Harrison, which also is a
splendid bedder. The group prominent-
ly planted in front could have been
sold many times. A fine lot of Fuchsia

Black Prince, grown in standard form,
in full bloom, was noted; also the grand
ramblers, trained up the supports along
the sign. Carnations had been thrown
out and plants were being lifted from
the field. The new ones have done well.
Though it has been somewhat dry of
late, each appears in excellent form.
Matchless, Rosalia, Nancy, Laddie,
Doris, Benora and Merry Christmas are
the leaders. Chrysanthemums have a
good start. The home vegetable gar-
den contains uncommon varieties that
tempt the palate of the epicure. Just
beyond is seen a snug bungalow built
by a lovely daughter, who proposes to
share it this fall with a lucky partner,
providing the partner's country does
not need him to fight. "It is a fight
either way, ' ' soliloquized Mr. Goddard.

G. H. Sinclair, of Holyoke, Mass.,
says it pays to keep in touch with the
public officials and newspaper men. His
influence was seen in the proposal to
send all flowers presented to the va-
rious incomers to the several hospitals.
The idea, while not entirely new, was
made the subject of considerable pub-
licity and must redound to the interest
of the florist.

H. F. A. Lange, of Worcester, Mass.,
keeps the observing public well posted
along the seasonable lines by frequent
changes of attractive displays. There is
nothing special to record, save that
business in general is moving along
steadily. W. M.

POEHLMANN PROGRESS.

The old-time ilorist, whose memories
of the trade reach back over the last
score of years, cannot but be impressed
when he contrasts in his mind the busi-
ness e«(tablisliinents of today with what
they lia\'e been in even the (piitt^ recent
luist. And this improvement has not
been confined to any one branch or de-
jiartment, but has inclmleil all sections
(d' the trade. As tin- retailer greV, his
needs iiicri-ased proportionjitely and
many sujiply iiouses sprang wy to cater
to his wants. Start ing in a small way,
many of these supply Imsiiiesses have
^rown steadily until they are establish-
ments of no mean ju-oportions.

The Market.

During the last week the llowt-r mar
ket has been in a hop(dess condition, and
it seems likely to continue so for at least
a coui)le of weeks. The main reason for
this condition is the belate>l arrival of
outdoor flowers, whi(di were just about
three weeks later than ii-ual. Ordi
narily the glut of outdoor sto( k prevails
about the middle of June, when wed
dings and conimencemeiits call for a
large ])ortion of the stock. \d\r large
(piantities of the flowers are here and
consequently much greenhouse stock is
not ]turch;ised.

The niaikets and store< are (piiet
[daces these days. Apart froiri the ordi
nary run of business, there is littli
funeral work to ludj) to mose the How

Results bring advertising.
The Eeview brings results.

Reports indicate no lack of confidence
on the part of retailers; they are placing
large orders for accessories for fall de-
livery.

The florist who grows his stock up to
a quality rather than down to a price is
a winner every time, provided he has
average selling ability.

There was a time when the trade
looked on the cut flower grower as the
monarch of all he surveyed; then it was
the plantsman who was envied; but today
it is the retailer who is in the ascendant,
with the opportunity to go as far as he
likes.

Schedules have been issued for the
combined exhibitions of the American In-
stitute and the American Dahlia Society,
at the Engineering building, New York,
Septem])er 25 to 27. Anyone interested
should address W. A. Eagleston, secre-
tary, 324 West Twenty-third street, New-
York.,

lOXG

Among the conspicuous successes of re-
cent years have been a few with the Had-
ley rose. It is not possible to be more
definite here, but it is reported that a well
known grower of Hadley for the New
York market in the season recently closed
had gross receipts of $3.09 per plant from
the variety.

Some growers think rose plants need
a rest, more or less complete, every few
months, but one of the most successful
men in the middle west frequently runs
a house two years without desisting from
the application of food and water and he
has run a house of Wards five years with-
out a pause.

A NUMBER of white sports of Sunburst
are reported in widely separated parts of
the country. They are being nursed, but
wliat is wanted is a white sport of
Ophelia, the rose that is the trade's easi-
est doer.

One of the things which make the
florists' business unattractive is the long
liours employers expect their store help to
put in, to compete with the man who
lives on his place and who, therefore, is
on call at all hours. It is all very well
to keep open as long as there is business,
but a record of sales by hours usually
will show there is little to be lost by
closing earlier than now is done, even if
the man down the street does live back
of the store and sits on the steps till
11 o'clock these summer evenings.

PRICES BY AGREEMENT.

Before the printed matter for next
season is prepared the Horticultural
Trades Association of (ireat Britain and
Ireland plans to bring the individual
interests together in an agreement as
to prices. Some vpork In this direction
was done last season, but too late to
have the full effect desired, and this
year it is planned to start in time and
to include as many items of stock as
possible. Certain levels of values must
be maintained if the trade is to con-
tinue under war conditions and it is
hoped to be able to assume the main-
tenance of these values by full discus-
sion and subsequent agreement.

Agreement may be possible in Eng-
land, but in the trade in the United
States nothing of the kind can be hoped
for, although it probably is as urgently
needed. In this country, sellers are of
two classes: One class includes the
men who think their stock is worth as
much as any other growers', if not a
little more. In the other class are the
men who have no pride in their stock,
no confidence in its value or their own
selling ability and whose idea of price
is always to be a little under the other
fellow. The hope for fair prices lies in
tlie first class, as the other is incorrig-
ible.

PREPAREDNESS.

This is the season of the year when
tlie retail florist has little to do and
considers himself lucky if lie has enough
business to pay expenses; the whole-
saler is mentally busy trying to get rid
of the stock, good, bad and indifferent,
wliich is thrown on his hands for dis-
jiosal and the grower is getting ready to
furnish the supply for next season.

The activities of the latter should
furnish an inspiration for the former.
(u't ready for next season!

In all parts of the country there are
florists more progressive than their
neighbors. Their names may be learned
by a careful reading of the news letters
in The Review. Here it is recorded that
(uie is making alterations and improve-
ments to his store, another is installing
a new refrigerator, while a third is re-
decorating and making his store bright
and clean for the opening of the season
in the fall.

Of course the nature of the stock he
carries makes a florist's store attractive.
But, on the other hand, the store can
make the stock more attractive by pro-
viding a setting that is in harmony with
the ))eauty of the flowers.

This is house-cleaning time for flo-
rists. It is also the time to "paint up
and clean up." The labor and the ex-

pense will be turned into dividends
next fall, and winter, and spring, when
the bright store is getting the business
and the dull, drab place is not.

PLEASE NOTE.

Each week a number of letters and
telegrams containing advertising in-
structions reach The Eeview while the
paper is on the press — just a few hours
earlier and they would have had atten-
tion 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 in-
sertion, discontinuance or alteration of
any advertisement unless instructions
are received by 4 p. m , Tuesday."

SYSTEM.

' ' In many cases, ' ' says a British trade
paper, ' ' unpleasantness might be avoided
if the custom were adopted and rigidly
adhered to of acknowledging receipt of
order. A printed post card for the pur-
pose would suffice and the little labor in-
volved would be well repaid by the preser-
vation of good temper. The large^ well
ordered establishments of course do this,
but a good many smaller plantsmen and
seed houses struggle along through busy
seasons sadly handicapped through lack
of businesslike system in the office, al-
though there is no doubt even the smallest
business will grow the quicker and show
the greater profits if a proper system of
working is adopted, which need not be
elaborate to bo efficient."

TO HELP THE TRADE.

Practically every florist stands ready
to do anything that will benefit the
trade as a body — provided it does not
call for too great personal sacrifice.

Well, here is the way to render the
greatest possible assistance to the trade
at large — and it calls for no sacrifice at
all.

Everybody recognizes that the busi-
ness man who owes no money can not
fail — so pay your bills.

If every florist gets in the money
due him from the public and passes it
on to those he owes, the trade's liabili-
ties will be sharply reduced — and then
nobody need worry.

Collect and pay — that's the way.

CHICAGO.

The Market.

There is a spirit of marked satisfac-
tion prevalent on the wholesale cut flow-
er market with regard to the excellent
manner in which July business is hold-
ing up. Although demand generally is
somewhat erratic, the average business
done is not to be regarded at all slight-
ingly when one considers how far along
in the summer it really is.

Although the supply of all items is
large enough to meet the demand, there
cannot be said to be any superabundance
and with a fair average quality all the
way through stock moves along nicely.
Exceptions of course can be pointed out,
the most conspicuous one being carna-
tions, of which there is much poor qiial-
ity stock, unsuitable for shipping pur-
])oses, and which only serves to depress
prices.

The market on roses is entirely satis-
factory in every way. The cut, gener-
ally, is of a fairly good, even quality,

although some poorer quality stock also
finds its way through. American Beau-
ties are not an important item, but the
limited supply which arrives is moved
with little difficulty. Mrs. Eussell is
easily the best seller and prices hold up
well. Eed roses are selling exceptionally
well for this season of the year. There
are not many Eichmonds, and Milady
therefore meets the greater part of this
need. White Killarney is scarce. Ophelia
is in good supply, and is profiting by
the shortage in good white stock.

There are great quantities of poor
quality carnations on the market, and
these are found to be a heavy drag.
What fairly good stock does arrive, how-
ever, finds a moderately good sale. Car-
nations usually are practically out of
the market at this date and receipts are
decreasing rapidly, but it is probable
there will be no day this summer that
carnations are not to be had.

Easter lilies are in good supply and,
although their sale has been far from
satisfactory, demand now begins to show
a tendency to increase. Valley and
orchids, though not in large supply, ar-
rive in ample quantity to meet the de-
mand, and no scarcity recently has been
felt. Althougli the quality of sweet peas
as an average is commencing to deterio-
rate, some good stock still is arriving and
this finds a fair sale. The supply of
peonies is shortening, but there are still
considerable quantities in storage, and
it is probable that they will still be ob-
tainable for several weeks. A fair sale
is recorded, but beyond question they
are depressing tlie prices for other flow-
ers. Gladioli are scarce, the local crop
not having yet arrived, and it was at
times last week found impossible to fill
orders for them. A variety of summer
flowers arrive, among which may be men-
tioned the aster, of which a limited
supply is coming in.

Greens of all kinds are in increased
su])ply. A groat abundance of plumosus
and Sprengeri is to be seen.

Paul E. Klingshorn continues as the

Various Notes.

Peter Eeinberg is one of the growers
who believe it is better to be safe than
to be sorry. He has filled all his coal
sheds and is industriously building up a
great coal pile in the open air, carload
upon carload of Pocahontas costing more
than $5 a ton on his siding.

That there has been no curtailment in
the use of flowers for customary pur-
poses is shown by the fact that one

downtown retailer in one day last week
had fourteen orders for patients in the
various hospitals.

Walter Adams, with Mrs. Adams as
chief assistant, has become nicely set-
tled in the store and conservatory at
the southeast corner of North State and
Division streets. These are the quarters
fitted up several years ago for the north
side branch of the Fleischman Floral
Co., under the management of the late
John Gormley, and Mr. Adams has
much larger space, much better display
and a decidedly better location than be-
fore.

The Johnson & Chronis store at Lake
Park avenue and Forty-seventh street
is to be thoroughly renovated this sum-
mer and a new Eando refrigerator with
double the capacity of the present one
will be installed. Mr. Johnson has the

WE HAVE A FINE SUMMER CROP OF ROSES

You will not be disappointed with our Summer Roses. There are none better on the Chicago Market. Good quality
Carnations, fine for shipping, still coming in. We also have a complete line of other summer cut flower stock.

Shipping orders a specialty.

Order here— you can't do better elsewhere— often not nearly so well.

place soon. This store, by the way, is one
of the "veterans" in the city, the tri-
angular shaped room having housed a
flower store twenty years, most of which
time Mr. Johnson has been its pro-
prietor.

' ' That certainly looks good, ' ' said
Andrew Chronis, of the Alpha Floral
Co., Wabash avenue and Adams street,
the other day as he surveyed a $50 or-
der for baskets and a bouquet of Kus-
sells that were ready to be delivered.
"Orders of that size are not so numer-
ous in the season, but the quantity of
smaller sales then makes the day big.
But in the summer — yes, that certainly
looks good."

The first Pink Ophelia to reach this
market are reported by the E. C. Amling
Co. Tliey were from Wendland & Keimel

Co., Elmhurst, where 2,000 plants of
the Breitmeyer sport were benched,
grafted on the place with wood sup-
plied by the disseminator.

Bassett & Wasliburn are just finish-
ing the season's big addition to the new
range at Greggs Station. The now
houses were planted as soon as the
benches were ready, some of them ahead
of the glazing, so tliat most of the stock
has received as early a start as that did
in the houses built in previous years.

Emil Gede, of J. A. Budlong's, who
recently enlisted in the navy, lias been
called to tlie colors. He left for tlie
Groat Lakes Training Station July 18.

Weiss & Meyer Co., Maywood, made
the first cut in a house of Hadley last
week.

Clara Roinberg, daughter of George

Reinberg, underwent an operation for
appendicitis at tlie Passavant Memorial
hospital last week. She is reported to
be recovering nicely.

With his wife and little daughter on
an all summer's visit to Great Bend,
Kan., Felix Roichling, of Peter Rein-
berg's, is living the life of a bachelor.

J. E. Poll worth, of Konnicott Bros.
Co., is back on the job after two weeks'
vacation. Mr. PoUworth is one of the
men who work while they play and he
has been doing a great deal of cerebrat-
ing and is full of new ideas for the fall.

So far as the record shows, O. A. &
L. A. Tonner are the only florists in the
United States who also do a wholesale
and retail business in pecan nuts. Each
of tlie three Tonner sisters owns a 5-

looks after this end of the family en-
terprises, had nearly a ton of nuts that
were sold in the Chicago • store along
with the cut flowers and florists' sup-

year the harvest is expected to be much
larger.

FORT WAYNE, IND.

The Market.

Business slowed up to a considerable
extent last week, although there is still
a demand for bedding stock, and the
shipping trade is fairly good. Counter
trade has been slack; weddings are
practically over for the season; funeral
work has been good.

There is a good supjily of flowers, in-
cluding outdoor and greenhouse stock.
Prices are about normal for this season
of the year. The supply of Beauties is
not large, but sufficient to meet the local
demand. Other roses are equal to the
demand. Outdoor sweet peas are plen-
tiful and the demand for them is good.
Carnations are in small supply, the qual-
ity becoming poorer and poorer. They
soil at a low figure. Asters have ap-
peared and take the place of carnations.
Some excellent gladioli are offered, and
these bring good prices. Easter and calla

lilies are decreasing in supply and val-
ley is almost out of the question. Cat-
tleyas are also on the short side. There
is a large supply of outdoor stock and a
fair supply of asparagus and other
greens. Smilax is of poor quality.

Various Notes.

The Doswell Floral Co. reports a good
demand for funeral work. They have
been devoting much time to collections
during these dull days.

The annual picnic of the Fort Wayne
Florists' Club will be held in August.
The date and place are to be announced
later.

Business at the Flick Floral Co. store
has been markedly brisk during the last
week, funeral work being particularly
heavy.

A. J. Lanternier & Co. reports that
the week's business has been good with
them. They had several weddings. The
greenhouse force is transplanting" chrys-
anthemums and throwing out some of
the rose stock.

Edgar Wenninghoff had his share of
funeral work and a good counter trade.
He is showing some fine Shasta daisies,
lilies and roses.

Markey Bros, had a normal week, the
bulk of the trade running to funeral
work.

Frank J. Knecht has ^returned from
a business trip of several days to In-
dianapolis.

With regard to the coal situation, the
growers seem to be divided in their
opinions concerning the lowering of
prices. A few of the larger growers are
getting in their supply at market prices,
while others are waiting for the prom-
ised slump in prices.

The Saturday evening and Sunday
closing of the flower stores has proved
to be most successful. R. F.

Summer seems to be here, and busi-

employees at Ehler's grove, Brown
Deer, Wis. The day was ideal for the
picnic and there were about 200 who

made the most of the opportunity. A
number of the trade visited the grove
and took part in the various games.
All the employees, with th ir families,
were taken to the grove in the firm's
auto trucks and enjoyed the ride as
much as anything.

There were music and eats galore, and
it was a gala day for everyone who at-
tended. There was something doing all
the time, with keen competition in the
different events. Prizes were offered to

Wilmer Schumacher, chauffeur for the

Troop C, Wisconsin cavalry, was mus-
.tered into federal service. After a short
period of drilling the troop will go
south for a while; then it will be trans-
ferred into different branches of the
service. Mr. Schumacher expects to
.ioin the aviation corps at tliat time. He
has one brother in France, who went
over with the first division. Will's
many friends in the trade are united in
wishing him a safe return.

A belated item of importance is the
marriage recently of Miss Ella Voelzke
and C. S. Kitzerow. Miss Voelzke, who
operates a flower store at 3805 Lisbon
avenue, is well known in the trade. She
was associated with the Holton & Hun-
kel Co. and with the Gust. Eusch Co.,
before going into business for herself.
C. S. Kitzerow is a son of C. F. Kit-
zerow, who has a greenhouse range on
the Port Washington road. The happy
pair left immediately for their honey-
moon. Since their return they have
been overwhelmed with felicitations by
their many friends in the trade.

Stock last week was fair and in quan-

demand. Roses were good in flower, but
the stems were a succession of joints
and the foliage poor. Valley was of

Orchids were of excellent quality, some

Gladioli are coming in fair quality.

The usual assortment of garden flow-

Flowers That Will Give Satisfaction

EASTER LILIES

They do not show the effect of the hot weather. We have
them as good now as any other time of the year. They are cut in
the right condition for shipping.

GLADIOLI

The best varieties, such as Au-
gusta, America, Francis King and
some of the newer ones. Prices
are more reasonable, and you can
look for big value.

ASTERS

The supply is increasing, and
we will have enough good stock to
take care of all orders. Plenty of
all colors and all grades. Asters for
all purposes. $1.50-$3.00perl00.

PHILADELPHIA

The Market.

The week lias brought an advance in
prices, due to light receipts. There is
some business, rather more than usual
for the middle of July, vpith somewhat
less flowers than usual to meet the de-
mand. The heavy rains have damaged
outdoor flowers. The usual summer
mainstays, gladioli and asters, are both
late. Gladioli are arriving in moderate
numbers, wliile asters have only just
commenced to arrive in earnest. Both
are bringing good jirices and could be
marketed in larger quantities.

The Easter lily is the leading flower.
The market never has seen so large a
supply of lilies at this season. There are
too many at times, but, taking it all in
all, they have sold pretty well at rather
moderate figures. Lilium regale affords
variety. Of other flowers there is not
much to say. Generally speaking, the
supply is meager, though a decided in-
crease might easily prove too much for
the demand.

It is the opinion of most of the whole-
salers that the tide will turn in a few
days. They expect the market to be
better supplied with good flowers when
the asters come in more freely. Then,
unless business improves, they look for
a decline in prices, especially on the or-
dinary grades of flowers. Sweet peas are
about over.

The English View.

A representative of the seed house of
W. W. Johnson & Son, Boston, England,
in conversation with Franklin Ely, of
the Henry F. Michell Co., spoke of the
effect of the German submarine warning
on the demand for vegetable seeds in
England. This warning, it will be re-
called, came about the first of February.
The time, Mr. Dean told Mr. Ely, was
particularly opportune; it gave the Brit-
ish seed houses six or eight weeks' time
for preparation before the spring season
for sowing arrived. So the English

We urge our friends to use Easter Lilies when
they can, because they are good. They are generally to
be had on short notice and our price is moderate for such
line stock, $1.50 per dozen; $8.00 per 100.

seedsmen said a silent but earnest
"Thank you" to Germany for the time-
ly warning, then pitched in and worked.
The result is that all over Britain are
rows of potatoes and vegetables, in
places that never knew them before,
bringing a great harvest to the seeds-
men and to the people.

Mr. Bayersdorfer's Chat.

Harry Bayersdorfer, whose enterprise
has made him almost as well known in
Europe and in Japan as in America, was
seen inspecting the corridor just opened
between his present warehouse at 1129
Arch street and the building adjoining

it on the north. "The Eeading rail-
road," Mr. Bayersdorfer said, "is not
ready to use this building. They have
given us a most advantageous lease, so
we will stay right here for another year;
it may be for many years to corre.
Here," he continued, pointing to the
front portion of 1131, "is where my pri-
vate office w:ll probably be placed."
"When asked about the outlook for sup-
plies in the fall, Mr. Bayersdorfer sai-
"I advise florists to order early. It is
doubtful whether we can get enough
goods. The freight from Japan to tbiS
country has been enormously increase'!,

for Thursday evening, July 19, as a clos-

Last week the cut flower market was
dull until July 14, when most of the
stock was cleaned up. There was a
deartli of perfect flowers. The ship-
ments of roses lessened considerably
and prices for anything perfect at the
week end were firm. Good Beauties and
the novelties and specialties sold quick-
ly. Of the short-stemmed roses, nothing
usable was sold under 50 cents per hun-
dred. There was a large supply of
ramble* branches, mostly of poor qual-
ity.

The arrivals of carnations are fewer
each week. Perfect flowers sold at $2
per hundred July 14. The medium and
low-grade flowers went to the peddlers.

Profitable and Practical Delivery Service

Now as never before it is important for
you to speed up your deliveries.

This Overland Motor Wagon shown
above is the type that florists have found
profitable and practical for their delivery
service.

Profitable, because it has the stuff in
it that will stand up under the wear
ind tear of steady service. With ordi-
lary care an Overland will do its work
^st as faithfully the second or third
' »;ar as it does in the beginning.

And it is practical in every sense of
be word. It is light, quick and easy
1 handle — has oversize mileage-giving

tires both front and rear — is completely
equipped with every time-saving conven-
ience, such as electric lights and starter,
speedometer, ammeter, etc.

No matter how large or small your
business may be, an Overlard Delivery
Wagon or a fleet of Overlands will re-
duce your hauling costs and increase ^^
your trading radius.

Overland service has solved the deliv-
ery problems of thousands of florists.
Why hesitate or experiment?

The event of the month was the To-
ronto florists', picnic, which was held
at Center island July 11. Apart from
the tug of war, the whole afternoon's
sport was a case of pulling together on
tlic part of everybody — something quite
novel after the I-do-not-care sort of
feeling that has permeated the ranks

during the last fifteen years. A more
intimate and friendly feeling was
aroused on this occasion, and it was
generally understood that the picnic
would become an annual affair.

Rain, rain, rain, has been tlie order of
the day for the last ten days, and much
damage has been done throughout the
province. Hail storms have been heavy

BOSTON.

The Marlset.

Flower receipts . have fallen off de-
cidedly and some improvement is no-
ticeable in the demand. As a conse-
quence, the market is cleaning up bet-
ter and prices are more satisfactory.
The supply of roses has fallen off sharp-
ly and the sales are more encouraging.
American Beauties move slowly, but
there has been a fairly good call for
Ophelia, Kaiserin, Double White Killar-
ney, Francis Scott Key and other hybrid
teas. All of these continue to come of
fine summer quality, thanks to the ab-
sence of intense heat. Carnations are
still plentiful. Few flowers realize over
$1 per hundred; the majority half that
price. Good sweet peas are soon picked
up, but many seen are of inferior qual-
ity.

Lilies still sell at low prices, but val-
ley holds up well. Cornflowers, sweet
sultans, gypsopliilas, coreopsis, gaillar-
<lias, larkspurs and cosmos meet with a
fair sale. Gladioli are not selling par-
ticularly well. The open-air crop here is
not ready yet. A few asters come in, but
there are too many carnations in the
market as competitors. Cattleyas are
dwindling in numbers and will soon be
scarce. A few C. Mendelii and C. Gas-
kelliana are seen. There is a smaller
call for asparagus now that gypsophila
is abundant.

Various Notes.

Everything is arranged for the annual
picnic of the Gardeners' and Florists'
Club at Cunningham park, East Milton,
July 25. Only good weather is needed
to make it a complete success, and in
case of rain there are roomy buildings
where dancing and other amusements
can be enjoyed. There are twenty-eight
events on the sports jirogram. These in-
clude separate baseball games for men,
boys and ladies, a soccer football match,
obstacle race and quoit match. East
Milton is conveniently reached by steam
or electric cars. The latter pass the
grounds at frequent intervals, and there
is ample parking space for teams and
autos.

The Welch Bros. Co. is receiving a fine ,
lot of southern gladioli. The firm reports,
that trade to such beach resorts as Bar
Harbor and North Shore, also to the
White mountains, is showing a steady
increase.

The wholesale markets close at noon
on Saturdays during the months of July
and August. Why cannot the wholesale
commission houses do likewise? There
is little for their employees to do Sat-
urday afternoons and practically noth-
ing Sundays, but as conditions now
are all hands are kept on Saturday af-
ternoons and some have to be on hand
Sundays. New York tradesmen have
closed up on Sunday; let Boston follow
suit. If one firm is the stumbling block
in the way of this closing, public opin-
ion should soon compel it to close.

There will be a prize exhibition at
Horticultural hall July 21 and 22. The
annual phlox and gladiolus show will be
held August 11 and 12.

PABKER'S FLOWER STORE

John A. Nelson, of Framingham, is
busy pulling out his carnations and has
one house of Matchless already planted.
His stock has made an excellent growth
in the field this season.

Ernest H. Borow^ski, of Eoslindale,
who was severely injured in an automo-
bile accident about six weeks ago, now
is making a satisfactory convalescence.

ST. LOUIS, MO.

The Market.

Good indoor stock was limited in
quantity last week and the long dry
spell has curtailed the outdoor supply.
However, there is enough for the small
demand. Roses have fallen off in supply
and first-class stock was hard to obtain.
The local supply of carnations is off
quality, but a few fancy flowers were
being shipped in.

Gladioli are in good supply. Easter
lilies are in demand for funeral work.
There promises to be a short crop of as-
ters, disease, it is said, having killed
half the plants. Good sweet peas are
scarce. Shasta daisies are in abundance
and the demand is not equal to the
supply. Snapdragons, coreopsis, gail-
lardias, cornflowers, candytuft and
feverfew are in good supply. Valley
has a demand, but is scarce. There is a
good demand for green. Flat ferns are
plentiful, but good smilax is not.

Club Meeting.

The Florists' Club held its regular
meeting .Tuly 11 on the grounds of the
Bourdet Floral Co., Magnolia and Tower
Grove avenues. President Bourdet pre-
sided over the meeting, which was held
on the lawn under the big shade trees
near his home.

The trustees reported that final ar-
rangements have been made for the
annual picnic, to be held July 26 at
Eamona park.

Letters in reference to plans for the
National Flower Show next spring from
President R. C. Kerr and Secretary
John Young, of the S. A. F., were read.

nity to see floral tributes that ran the
entire gamut, from the artistic to the
ridiculous. Senator Young, besides be-
ing prominent politically, was for thirty
years secretary of- the Maryland Insti-
tute and School of Design; he was a
member of many fraternal organiza-
tions, from the Masons down; through
his son, who is a prominent actor, he
was in a way connected with the theat-
rical profession. He was a great lover
of flowers, and one of the duties of his
secretary was to provide him with a
white carnation each morning, for his
coat. He was never seen on the street
without it.

I relate this bit of biography of the
man to give some idea of the sources
of the great mass of flowers at
his funeral. All of the organizations,
etc., were represented by floral trib-
utes. There were palls, casket crosses,
wreaths and bunches, from the best
stores in the city, that were specimens
of floral art, together with designs from
the various societies, and it was ap-
parent that expense was not considered.
There were tributes from those in the
more humble walks of life that had
been purchased in the market; and, let
me say right here, in some of the
cheaper designs one could n^t help but
see that the designers had used thought,
and with the material at hand had made
designs that were a credit to them.

Emblems Sometimes Hard to Handle.

Of other designs, especially those
from some of the organizations, the
same could not be said. I will cite one
fasp, and this was not the only one, but
it will sliow what I am trying to get at.

Tlie offering of a patriotic society
was a cross and miter resting on an
easel. Everything about this design
went to show that expense was a small
matter with those who ordered it. Now
just try to imagine the cross, which
was fairly well made of red and white
flowers, and the miter, the most prom-
inent part of the piece, of purple im-
mortelles, and faded ones at that. This
was during the latter part of June,
when cornflowers or blue larkspurs
covild have been had, and no doubt at
less cost than the immortelles.

There is no one who knows better
than the writer that emblems of so-
cieties often tax the ingenuity of the

of the emblem and at the same time
harmonize t)ie colors; but in this case
there certainly was no excuse. I have
always maintained that the florist
whose customers are tliose who buy
flowers only for a funeral, is the one
wlio sliould Rive the most study to his
work, for tliey are the people who at
SUCH a time can l)o depended upon to

I remember the funeral of a police
captain some years ago. Notlnnt; would
do for his men but a representation of
a patrol wajjon, with the horses liitched
to it. No amount of persuasion could
change their minds. Every detail about
the wagon had to be worked out, for it
was not a question of expense with
them. They wanted that and nothing
else. In a case of that kind, no mat-
ter how much the sensibilities of tlie
designer may be hurt, there is notliing

to do but give them what they want,
and in such cases the writer has found
that the more attention paid to de-
tails the more pleased the buyers will
be with the design.

In my experience I have found that
these are not the only persons whose
whims have to be catered to. For in-
stance, Mary Johnston told me of a case
in which a woman had lost a child
through an accident. The heartbroken
mother could think of nothing but the
child at play in a field of daisies at their
country home, it being the season when
these flowers were at their height. Noth-
ing would do for her but a pall of dai-
sies, and her idea was to have it made
as though the child were at play and
just scattered an armful of daisies over
the green. Mrs. Johnston said it made
a beautiful pall.

Another unicjue pall was made by
Miss Cook. A customer's favorite flow-
ers had lieen cornflowers, and the family
would have notliing but a pall of these.
Miss Cook assured me that it was a
most liandsome piece, with a cluster of
White Killarneys in the center to re-
Ywvc the intense blue.

Often the florist will be called to help
the 1)eieavtMl to deci<le on tlie funeral
flowers for the deceased, who was an old
customer. The florist will remember,
no doubt, some eccentricity of the de-
])arte(l regarding flowers, and he should
make this the basis of his suggestions.
Little tilings fuch as tliese go to make
the good florist, and it is good for the
florist to get out of the beaten path.

Seed Trade News

AMEBICAN SEED TRADE ASSOCIATION.

President, F. W. Bolgiano, Washington, D. C. ;
Secretary-Treasurer, C. E. Kendel, Cleveland, O.

J. C. KoBiNSON, of the Eobinson Seed
Co., Waterloo, Neb., spent his vacation
at Akeley, Minn.

Eecord is made under "Obituary" of
the death last week of Ludwig Teweles,
of Milwaukee, Wis.

HoLLAXD exporters now make the un-
qualified statement that bulbs will be
shipped to America as usual this season.

We are threatened with meatless days
to follow the whcatless meals and there
are reports that almost beetless days are
in prospect.

Now that seed selling has ceased for
the season, the trade is taking hold of
the many problems connected with next
year's supply. Seed stocks never have
been so severely depleted, nor sources of
supply so restricted.

The a. a. Berry Seed Co., Clarinda,
la., now is classed as a million dollar
concern, the sales for last season having
run into seven figures. At the stock-
holders ' meeting July 10 steps were taken
to increase the capital stock from $300,-
000 to $500,000.

Articles of incorporation for the
Cache Valley Seed Co., of Smithficld,
Utah, providing for an authorized capital
stock of $25,000, have been filed with the
secretary of state by J. C. McCann, presi-
dent; W. H. Smith, vice-president; R. H.
Smith, secretary-treasurer.

There will be considerable difference
in the cost of Japanese bulbs this season,
due to differences in the cost of freight.
Those who some time ago contracted for
steamer space will save money by it. It
is said the present rate is four times what
large shippers paid before the war.

A HEAVY hail storm visited Eocky
Ford, L>olu., July 3. In the Arkansas val-
ley, where is planted a large acreage of
seed crops, the storm did heavy damage.
Cucumbers and melons were especially
hard hit. Some garden beans also were
damaged. As a result of the storm the
supply of seeds from this district will
be short.

There seems to be considerable di-
versity of opinion as to the condition of
jieas in Wisconsin. They were reported
good in late June, but last week a well
known seedsman was quoted as having
said July 6 that he had talked to many
canners, none of whom expected over
two-thirds of a crop, most of them much
less. But July 13 the IT. S. Bureau of
Crop Estimates issued a report of condi-
tion as of July 1, putting the Wisconsin
pea crop at eighty-four per cent, against
sixty-eight a year ago. The Michigan
canners' pea crop is put at eighty-two
per cent, against seventy a year ago. The
correspondents were asked to estimate on
the basis of 100 representing normal.

W. A. Wheeler Explains Aims.

Speaking before the annual conven-
tion of the American Seed Trade Associ-
ation at Detroit June 19 on "Coopera-
tion Between Seedsmen and the IT. S.
I^epartment of Agriculture," W. A.
Wheeler, specialist in seed marketing
lor the Bureau of Markets of the de-
y'.irtmeut, explained the working of tlie
•'Ureau, which became known by its
Jiresent name July L

During the last year some construc-
tive work in seed marketing had been
"udertaken by the bureau, Mr. Wheeler
iiid. Field studies of tlic marketing
'■t' grass and clover seeds had been
'iiade and it was hoped that the results
"'•'ould be available for publication in
lie near future. It is planned to inau-
';urate a seed and hay market reporting
'ervice,so that reliable information rela-
tive to the surplus of grain, seeds and
■'■iy may be available at all times.

"The making available of informa-
tion of supplies of good seed at the

"This agency could be made an ef-
fective instrument in securing the dis-
tribution and utilization of the product
of improved varieties and prevent their
use in industrial ways when required
for seed purposes.

Maxket Reporting Service,

"In the market reporting service
contemplated, the information used in
compiling the weekly or biweekly re-
ports would be obtained from voluntary
market reporters, among the seed and
grain trade and traveling assistants in
marketing, who would be employees of
the Department of Agriculture. The
voluntary reporters would consist of
those correspondents located in each
county who can report with reference
to conditions in the county in which
they are located, and other correspond-
ents wlio can report conditions over
large areas. The single county cor-
resjjondents would be selected from
country dealers and shippers, county
agents, and others who may be suitable
and available; the correspondents re-
porting for several counties will be
chosen from large shippers, jobbers and
others.

"In addition to the voluntary cor-
respondents, there will be others sp'^-
cially selected from the important
marketing and production centers.
They will be paid for their services, to
make more comprehensive reports on
market conditions in their respective

SPECIAL TRIAL OFFER

~ Field of Rando Brand Giganteum, just after flowering. Note our sign.

WHY THIS UNUSUAL ACTION
IS TAKEN AT THIS TIME

Randall Japanese Lily Bulbs are superior
and positively will produce. They are the
select product of Japanese bulb-growing in-
dustry, and are sold through a reputation of
quality. We are not only willing to back up
this assertion, but we are going to do so right
here and now.

Practically every dealer who has bulbs to
sell has told you they are the best. Sold only
on quality, not price. They know you realize
that an inferior bulb is a poor investment at
any price. But you cannot know what the
bulbs are until you have bought them.

Therefore we are going to give you the opportunity of knowing exactly what our bulbs are like,
and prove to you before you place your fall order that our claim of quality is justified.

I THE OFFER

= FOR IMMEDIATE DELIVERY

We have only 200 cases of cold storage Lily
Bulbs on hand and are, therefore, obliged to
limit our offer to any one grower to not more
than 5 cases, so that a larger number may
take advantage of the offer.

These bulbs are 7/9 Giganteum. Packed 800
to the case, and ready for immediate delivery.

Only 1 to 5 cases to the customer and orders
taken subject to stock unsold.

An entirely new and distinct strain of Pansles The main advantage of these
new Pansles over all hitherto existing Pansles is the extreme earllness of flowering.
Sown at the same time as other Pansles, they begin flowering the early part of March
or as soon as the snow Is oft the ground, many times having four or five large flowers
to a plant, when all other Pansles are only showing buds. The flowers are large, well
formed and fragrant.

14. WINTER SUN. Golden yellow with

dark eye.

15. ICE KING. Silvery white, with dark

eye.

16. CELESTIAL QUEEN. Light or sky

blue.

500 seeds 25c, 1000 seeds 40c. % oz. $1.10, % oz. $2.00, oz. $7.50.

20. PRINCESS. (The New Upright Pansy.) This strain is entirely distinct from all
others. It Is absolutely compact, upright growing. The flowers are mostly
blotched and frilled like the Masterpiece, of good form and heavy velvety tex-
ture on heavy stem carried well above the foliage. Attractive by brilliancy
of Its colors.

40. GIANT BATH'S EMPRESS. The finest of fancy English Pansles. Flowers are
very large, mostly frilled and blotched and of great substance and the colors
are brilliant and varUd.

22. GI.\NT KKNILWORTH STRAIN. The flowers are of perfect form
and substance; many of the Immense flowers are from 3%- to 4-ln.
It l3 a striking coUeciion of beautiful colors and markings, rich
with shades of red, brown, bronze, mahogany and many others too
numerous to mention. Light, Medium or Dark Mixtures.

24. GIANT KENIL WORTH SHOW. An extra flne strain of large flowers;
the immense flowers are of circular form and great substance. A
beautiful collection of colors and markings.

26. GIANT KENIL WORTH CUT FLOWER MIXTURE. Is a distinct class
by Itself, surpassing all other strains as a cut flower for inside or
outside growing; the large flowers are carried erect above the
foliage on heavy stems, 7 or 8 in. long, in the most graceful man-
ner, and stand the hot, dry weather well.

28. GIANT MASTERPIECE. A remarkable type; the curled, wavy petals
giving the flower a double appearance; large flowers of great sub-
stance, on long, strong stem.

30. GIANT THREE AND ITVE BLOTCHED PANSIES. A superb mix-
ture. Flowers large and of circular form and of great substance.
The display of coloring is unsurpassed. A combination of ainiost
every shade of rich, velvety colors; reds are particularly conspicu-
ous; the petals being distinctly marked with three or five large,
dark blotches.

82. GIANT PARISIAN. The flowers are of enormous size and beautifully
marked, mostly five dark blotches on white and yellow ground; an
unusually showy mixture.

34. GIANT BRONZE. A flne mixture of all shades of velvety brown,
bronze, Havana brown, mahogany and copper shades.

30. TRIUMPH OF GIANT. Remarkably beautiful. The imposing flve-
spotted flowers on long, vigorous stalks surmount the foliage In the
most graceful manner, are of enormous size, perfectly round and
of unusual substance. The Individual petals are very broad and
cover each other In such a manner as to make the flowers appear
almost double, the border of every petal being conspicuously curled.
The plants are of a robust growth and form, compact bushes of a
round shape.

70. ORCHID-FLOWERED, Mixed. A dwarf,
free bloomer, with a range of delicate
colors that do not exist in any other
Pansles; a remarkable combination of
light rose, shell pink, blush mauve,
fawn, light brown, orange and chamois.

tion received would be tabulated in a
district office and distributed immedi-
ately to those interested in the same
district or in other districts, so that
the information would be available im-
mediately. Telegraphic reports would
be received from the principal markets,
so that the latest information would be
had from such sources. It is contem-
plated that at the end of each montli
a complete tabulation of the reports
from all districts for the month would
be prepared at Washinjjton, and be
available for j^fcnoral distribution.

"Careful studies and investigations
would be made through reports from
correspondents in various districts as
to supplies, requirements and prices.
An endeavor would be made to ascer-
tain and correct if possible any inequali-
ties in prices that may exist in certain
commodities, thereby bringing about a
more equitable distribution of profits
for those commodities.

"The value of this service depends
to a large extent on the cooperation be-
tween seedsmen and the department in
obtaining accurate and reliable infor-
mation. Tlic agencies which cooperate
in giving the greatest service would
naturally be the ones to be benefited in
the greatest measure by the market re-
porting service. In reality the depart-
ment would be acting as a disinterested
clearing house for market information
on the commodities covered. The re-
ports of individual dealers would, of
course, be kept strictly confidential and
any information received from them
would be used only in a general way in
the tabulation of reports of totals for
localities or districts, and would never
be disclosed as to source or origin."

Iiouisvllle, Ky. — Bruno W. Alberts is
one of the numerous class of florists who
began as amateurs. His specialty is
orchids and he has so increased his stock
of plants that he will have considerable
quantities to wholesale this season.

Clyde, O. — Arthur Doebel, w:o re
oently sold his jjreenhouse estaolisii-
mont at Xo^^valk. O., has purchased the
range and business of the Clyde Floral
Co. and will continue under the lirm
name of Arthur Doebel & Sons. The
Clyde range consists of 16,000 feet of
glass and seven and one-half acres of
land. Mr. Doebel now has 25,000 gera-
niums in the field.

Terre Haute, Ind. — While the back-
ward spring in many ways upset the
program of things, it was a good thing
in one respect, say F. Wunker & Sons,
in that it made the planting out busi-
ness good throughout June, a month
during which there usually is plenty of
time. The growers here now are busily
engaged with the new carnation and
mum plants, and are plugging up the
holes left by a hail storm in the spring.
Tlie cost of coal is worrying, but most
of the florists expect to survive the bills.

The Florists^ Review

JULT IJ, 1917.

Pacific Coast Department~1$

A REPORT of the fifteenth annual con-
vention of the Pacific Coast Association
of Nurserymen, held at Tacoma, Wash.,
July 11 to 13, will be found in the
Nursery Department of this issue.

LOS ANGELES, CAL.

The Market.

It was another quiet week, with prac-
tically nothing but funeral work to clean
up the stock. The shipping business has
been better, but it would have been
lieavier had good shipping stock been
obtainable. As it is, many complaints
are made.

Carnations remain poor, and roses are
of fair quality only. Gladioli are fine
and ship well. Centaureas are good, but
sweet peas are poor. Cornflowers of
satisfactory quality may be had; asters
ar6 of medium grade. Dahlias are ar-
riving more plentifully and have im-
j/roved in quality. Orchids and valley
are scarce.

Various Notes.

S. Murata & Co. received a carload
of sphagnum moss this week from Wis-
consin, the first to arrive in Los An-
geles this season. On account of the
.scarcity and the consequent high prices
of this article, green moss has been sell-
ing well, but the bog moss is more
popular with the florists and there-
fore is moving freely. The firm also
reports the arrival of the new crop of
field carnations.

Frank W. Nelson, of the California
Cut Flower Co., returned from his east-
ern trip July 3. He reports an inter-
esting time on his journey, but on the
way home he was held up by a big wash-
out on the Denver & Eio Grande. His
mother, whom he hardly expected to see
iilive, fortunatelv has recovered her
lioalth.

O. M. Morris, of the Morris & Snow
Seed Co., and a party of friends left
July 6 for a camping trip to Bear val-
ley, going by way of the desert. This
is an old stamping ground of Mr. Morris,
who likes to get back to his old haunts.
lie leaves behind an able lieutenant in
his son, Albert. Since recovering from
the fire many improvements have been
made in the store and fixtures, and the
establishment now is one of the best and
most up-to-date in the city.

Arthur Cleave, proprietor of Gleave's
Flower Shop, Santa Barbara, is paying
us a visit this week. He reports stock
scarce on account of the hot weather and
tlie recent brush and forest fires, which
have decimated hundreds of acres of
forest and other plantings there and in
Ventura county. Business is quiet, says
Mr. Gleave, but tliis is to be expected at
this time.

W. J. Treadup, of the A. L. Randall
Co., Chicago, is in town calling on the
trade.

Fred Sperry, of the L. A. Floral Co.,
has returned from a trip to Wheeler's
springs.

J. Dioterich is busy repairing the
greenhouses at Montebello. A good
deal of the piping in the heating system
has to be renewed and the pipe sup-
ports repaired. The whole place will be
put in thorough running order during

the summer and will be ready for next
season's work.

The Bauer Pottery Co. has purchased
the entire stock of pots of the Standard
Pottery, and the latter concern will
cease to make flower pots after this
date. The Bauer people are considering
the purchase of the pot-making machin-
ery of the Standard Pottery.

W. W. Felgate, of Sierra Madre, sent
a small but choice collection of vege-
tables and fruit to the meeting of the
Los Angeles County Horticultural So-
ciety July 11, at which President James
Taylor read a paper on vegetable grow-
ing.

Robert Newcomb, of the American
Bulb Co., Chicago has been suffering
from a severe cold, but stuck to busi-
ness gamely. He reports a good call for
baskets.

A. J. Verhelle, of the Kentia Nurs-
eries, Santa Barbara, is in town for a
few days calling on the trade. He drove
down and is using his machine to get
around with. Business has been excel-
lent, he says. H. R. Richards.

SPOKANE, WASH.

Hot weather has brought the usual
condition of medium and poor stock, but
as business most of the time simply
"isn't," it does not seem to matter
much what tlie quality of stock is.
Roses are not plentiful and the quality is
only fair. Carnations are generally poor
in quality, though markedly plentiful.
Good sweet peas arrive from the out-
door growers.

July weddings have been many and
have supplied the occasions for some
original decorations. During the last
week the Spokane Florist Co. and
Eugene's Flower Shop have had elabo-
rate creations for society nuptials.

W. S. Hoyt and Samuel Younkin were

partners in an auto trip through the
southern part of the state last wetu.
They report extremely dry conditions ui
the regions visited, with the crops bacily
in need of rain.

Under the skillful hand of Alfr (1
Jacobson the new range of the H. !,.
Olsson Co., Inc., is rapidly nearing co: i-
pletion. No finer piece of greenhou ,e
building can be found in this secticn.
The range consists of two houses, ea !i
29x200, and one propagating house l.".\
90. Another house similar to the proj. ■
gating house will be constructed later ].\
the fall. Carnation planting will begin
in the new houses this week.

Frank Nawrochi, who only a f c v
weeks ago accepted a position with tlie
Martin & Forbes Co., of Portland, w;;i
called back to this city by a message
from his wife, telling him that their
home here had been burned to the
ground, a complete loss. No one was nt
home at the time of the fire. Mr. Naw-
rochi left for Portland with his family
after spending a few days here arrang-
ing business affairs.

E. Stapleton and family have removed
to Duluth, Minn., wliere Mr. Stapleton
has a position as designer with the
Duluth Floral Co.

E. A. Hedger, generally known to the
trade as "Ted," acquired a son-in-law
last week when his daughter, Luella,
was married to C. W. Buchanan.

SAN FRANCISCO.

The Market.

July usually is the quietest month of
the year, and this year probably will
be no exception to the rule, although the
midsummer dullness does not seem to be
so acute as in previous years, judging
from the light accumulations of stock

at the wliolesale houses from day to
day. So far the number of weddings
is j;:reatly in excess of those of last
July and many orders have been booked
for the remainder of the month. The
feature of last week's business was fu-
neral work, however.

There has been little change in the
stock situation since the last report.
More first-class roses could be used, al-
thoufih the average quality is well up to
exjicetations, considering "the season of
tlic year. American Beauties are almost
unobtainable, either good or bad. Other
varieties of roses show the effects of
the hot weather. Ulrich Brunner seems
to be holding its own comparativelv
wcll; also Eussell. Carnations have im-
rroved in quality, but there is little
demand for them. The first crop of gla-
dioli will soon be over. They are fea-
tured extensively and quantities of
them find an outlet. Their principal
rival is giant zinnias, which meet witli
ffroat popularity. The flowers are splen-
did this year; some of the florists claim
they are the best ever seen here.

The cut of dahlias is increasing daily.
Orchids are scarce and valley also is on
tlic short side of the market. A limited
quantity of indoor chrysanthemums
cleans up without much difficulty,
tliongh it cannot be said they are great-
ly sought after. Lilium auratum has a
strong demand and a nice cut of
I'librum lilies is expected in a week or
ten days. A few celosias are arriving,
'Jilt the color of the flowers as vet is
"'Jt good.

Various Notes.

improved in health as the result of a
three months' rest.

M. Domoto, of Domoto Bros., is of the
opinion that business is good generally
for the season. He reports a fine de-
mand for auratum lilies, also for ru-
brums, although the latter will not be
plentiful for another week.

about all he had this season. He com-
ments upon the unusually close clean-up
at the market each day for this time of
the year, which leads him to believe
that the shipping business is active and
that there is a good city trade.

The Francis Floral Co. had the deco-
rative work at the Fairmont hotel re-
cently for the big Eed Cross celebra-
tion. The company's services were ren-
dered gratis for the good of the cause.
This firm reports more weddings than
usual for July.

As soon as his employees have taken
their vacations, which will be by the
latter part of July, Julius Eppstein, who
conducts the stand in the St. Francis
hotel, plans a trip east of several weeks'
duration. Miss Beecher and Joseph
Sheib are away now in southern Cali-
fornia. S. H. G.

The Maxket.

There was an abundance of stock in
the market last week, but it was not of
the best quality. Such annuals as gode-
tias, zinnias and salpiglossis are in evi-
dence and the public is beginning to ap-
preciate them. Business improved last
week, there being considerable funeral
and social work. The convention of the
National Educational Association helped
business somewhat.

Various Notes.

S. A. Lubliner, who is spending his
vacation at Walla Walla, Wash., ex-
pects to remain in that city until
August 1.

Oscar Moeller has closed his flower
store on Alder street. He* expects to
move to Astoria, where he will open a
store, there being but one in that city.

Clarke Bros, had the decorations for
the convention of the National Educa-
tional Association. W. G. W.

The Market.

Favorable weather has brought an
abundance of outdoor stock. Sweet
peas are coming in and are of good
color, with long stems. Roses are over-
plentiful and are taking the place of
indoor stock for funeral and all kinds
of made-up work. Canterbury bells are
almost off the market. Delphinium is
also on the decline. Bachelor's buttons
are plentiful and meet a good demand.
Peonies are off the market. Dahlias are
just showing color. Business in gen-
eral has kept up beyond expectation for
this season, weddings and social affairs
being responsible.

Varioiis Notes.

The Hayden-Watson Co. received the
order for the Weyerhauser wedding
decoration and bouquets. This was one
of the smartest affairs of the season.
The decoration was carried out in pink
and white Canterbury bells, phloxes,
delphiniums and gypsophilas. The
bride's bouquet was of Shasta daisies
and maidenliair, with a shower of the
same.

This year's dahlia show will be held
during the first part of September, the
date not having been fixed definitely
at the last meeting of the Dahlia So-
ciety. All proceeds above expenses
will go to the Red Cross. The displays
will be divided into two classes, one for
large and one for small growers. Among

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 Cer-
tificate 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 reddish lavender. Only good si/ed. flowering bulbs are
offered. PRICE: Per dozen, $3.50; per lOO, $20.00.

Portland was selected as the place of
meeting in 1918.

A New Disease of Roses.

Bringing to Tacoma some forty promi-
nent nurserymen of California, Wash-
ington, Oregon, Idaho, Montana and
British Columbia, the convention was
one of much interest. The sessions
all were open to the public and at-
tendance was encouraged, with the idea
of educating the public in the problems
of the trade and in the proper plant-
ing and care of stock.

Among those present was J. A. Bal-
mer, of Cle Elum, Wash., who called
attention to a new disease of roses tliat
came to him on a shipment from a Cali-
fornia rose grower now out of busi-
ness. Hard, knot-like bunches appeared,
he said, wlierever a growth was cut and
also on the roots, some of tliem attain-
ing the size of a walnut. The matter
was regarded as so serious that a spe-
cial committee was appointed to deal
with it, consisting of M. McDonald, of
Orenco, Ore.; George C. Eoeding, of
Fresno, Cal.; J. A. Balmer, of Cle Elum,
Wash., and R. A. Stadllialter, of Seat-
tle, W^ash.

Reports of the Year.

The first session, following an ad-
dress of welcome by A. B. Howe, presi-
dent of the Commercial Club, where the
meetings were held, was devoted to re-
ports of officers and committees, in the
following order:

Greenhouse Heating.

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

STORE COAL, INSULL URGES.

Consumers of fuel continue to be
warned that unless large quantities of
coal are purchased and stored during
the summer months there will be a
shortage when the demand becomes
greater in the fall, the prediction be-
ing that lack of maximum production
during the next two months will make
it impossible to produce the coal need-
ed to supply the demand later.

Following a meeting with a number
of Illinois coal mine operators July 14,
Samuel InsuU, of Chicago, chairman of
the Illinois Council of Defense, a body
of business men appointed by Governor
Lowden to act in conjunction with the
National Council of Defense, issued a
warning to coal consumers that there is
liable to be a famine this fall unless the
Illinois mines are kept Operating at
capacity. He urged consumers to buy
and store coal now.

B°

WESTERN COAL FREIGHT RAISED.

Tlie Interstate Commerce Commission,
which allowed the eastern railroads to
increase rates on coal 15 cents per ton
July 1, entered an order July 10 allow-
ing a similar increase by the railroads
in the western district to take effect
July 15.

This action means that florists west
of the Mississippi river will be required
to pay an additional 15 cents per ton
for coal shipped after July 15.

THE PRICE OF COAL.

Gov. Goodrich, of Indiana, this week
showed the Interstate Commerce Com-
mittee of the Senate that the price of
coal at the mine recently agreed on by
the coal operators and the Peabody com-
mittee of the Council of National De-
fense is nearly 100 per cent too high.

The Indiana governor practically put
it up to Congress to enact laws fixing
the price of coal or to give some com-
mission that authority, saying that if
Congress did not do so he would call a
special session of the Indiana legisla-
ture to regulate coal prices -i« his state.

After scoring the price as agreed on
by the operators and the Peabody com-
mittee, Gov. Goodrich read letters into
the record from various Indiana manu-
facturers showing that the Peabody
agreement had caused coal prices to go
up instead of down in Indiana.

Tlie same condition exists elsewhere.

Kroeschell Water Tube Steam Boiler

Conserve the National Resources — Eliminate Waste in Your Business.
Begin Now to Do Your Share— It Will Help You and Others.

One of the biggest items of expense iji the greenhouse business is the
heating question. Why then for fancy's sake 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 unequaled fuel economy— it will pay you well.

Kroeschell Greenhouse Boilers are credited with many remarkable
greenhouse heating records. Time and again they have proven to be the
quickest water heaters and steam generators in the world. Any kind of
fuel will do the work. They are acknowledged the best by test since 1879.

Read What Our Customers Say

A Record for the Winter of 1916-1917

Mr. Wendel is surely nleased with his No. 14 Kroeschell Boiler— it is a
PEACH, that is all there is to it. We surely had some winter, which we all
know.

Our houses have never been below 62*^, and it was not necessary to force
our boiler. Best of all, we saved two carloads of coal over a year ago.

Hans Jepsen, Grower.

No Heat Lost With the Kroeschell

The two No. 46 Kroeschell Water Tube Steam Boilers which you furnished
for our new plant surely are (riving us satisfactory service. These boilers are
internally fired, and ECONOMICAL fuel burners, being very fast steamers.
With baffle arrangement such as you have, it consumes all the heat cast from
the combustion chamber instead of letting it out of stack.

Entire Plant Now Heated by Kroeschell's Famous Boilers

We have just placed No. 14 Boiler purchased of you. This takes the place
of two cast iron boilers and one 60 H. P. tubular boiler. As we were the first
to install one of your boilers on Long Island, it might interest you to know that
we want no other kind on our place. This makes three we have, and they do
their work economically and are on the job all the time. You may use "this

Kroeschell Uses Only One-half the Coal

Have taken out return tubular boiler which used one-half more coal than
the Kroeschell Boiler— it is so easy to regulate that in a few minutes I can
run up the temperature by opening drafts.

The Burnham Tubular Boiler

Has no Dead Fire Walls

—It Reduces Smoke—

Grates Shake in Four Sections

iM)

EVERY part of the Burnham Tubular that
holds the fire ; or through which the
heated gases pass, is water surrounded. In
this particular, it is exactly like the Scotch
Marine Boilers, so long famous for their economy.

Unlike the marine boiler, however, it has a
large four section grate, making fire cleaning
thorough and easy.

This four section arrangement of the grate,
is both a convenience and economy advantage
when fine coal is used, as the fire can be cleaned
in sections; the live coal being pulled into one
part, while the other part is dumped.

Don't lose sight of the fact that the com-
bustion chamber at the rear of the boiler into
which the two large tubes lead, and from which

the 4 inch tubes leave, is completely water
surrounded.

This is not so with most tubular boilers.
As a result, the heat is given off directly into
the air instead of being absorbed by the water

Such boilers also generally have clean out
doors at the back of this combustion chamber,
which soon warp and allow cold air leaks,
causing the cooling of the ^ases.

The clean out door on the Burnham is at
the bottom (see number 6). where it is protected
from the direct heat and burning gases.

The Burnham is made for water or steam;
any size, high or low pressure. It is made in
our factory at Geneva, X. V.

now and keep the mines busy in sum-
mer, it is playing directly into the hands
of the mine owners, as present prices
for coal at the mine mouth are the high-
est ever known, fixed there with what
looks like government sanction.

JXJRY FREES COAL MEN.

Forty-one bituminous coal operators
and sixty-nine companies in Virginia
and West Virginia, on trial at New
York city on indictments charging vio-
lations of the Sherman anti-trust law,
were found not guilty July 12 by the
jury that heard the evidence during the
three weeks of the trial.

The charges grew out of the action
of the producers of Pocahontas and
New River coal January 1 when they
raised the price of coal from these
fields from $1.35 to $3 per ton at the
mine. The government charged that
the operators made an agreement to
this effect and thereby entered into a
conspiracy in restraint of trade.

During the trial indictments against
twenty-three individuals and thirty-
nine corporations, who were also among
those named in the original batch of
indictments, were dismissed. '

The Market.

Platteville, Wis. — Thomas Moore,
who during the last five years has been
doing considerable business each spring
with hotbed plants, is building a green-
house so as to be able to supply his
customers the vcar around.

The cut flower market was quiet last
week. The stock coming in was good
and consisted of Beauties, lilies, roses of
most varieties, gladioli, carnations, as-
ters and snapdragons. The market is
glutted with greens of all kinds. Busi-
ness in July so far has been better than
in previous years, as those who keep ac-
curate records can prove.

Florists' Club Auto Outing.

The Pittsburgh Florists' Club, in con-
junction with the Horticultural Club of
Western Pennsylvania and the Horti-
cultural Club of Sewickley, provided its

The Florists^ Review

July 19, 1917.

TOLEDO, O.

The Market.

The demand for flowers in the mar-
ket last week was not any too lively.
The arrivals were not unseasonably
large and could be easily absorbed.
Tliere was a fair supply of American
Beauty roses, which met with a moder-
ate demand at prices ranging from $6 to
$2;j per hundred for specials. Other
grades sold at corresponding prices.
The supply of hybrid tea roses was
much shorter, but the demand for them
was weak. Top-grade blooms sold at
from $3 to $5 per hundred, while choicer
blooms of the preferred varieties
brought $6 to $8 per hundred. Bottom-
grade blooms sold at 50 cents and $1 per
hundred.

The supply of carnations was not
large, but was more than sufficient to
meet the weak demand. Prices ranged
from 25 cents to $1 per hundred. There
was a moderate supply of cattleyas, for
which there was no particular demand.
Prices ranged from 30 cents to 50 cents
each. Lily of the valley is not abun-
dant and is selling at from $2 to $5 per
hundred. Longiflorura lilies are plen-
tiful. They sold at from $3 to $4 per
hundred, with the choicest blooms at $5.

In miscellaneous flowers, there are
now coming into the market a few
blooms of antirrhinum, calendulas, cal-
las, daisies, bunches of rambler roses,
gladioli, delphiniums, sweet peas, gail-
lardias, coreopsis, centaureas and ama-
ryllis. In greens there are smilax, ferns
and asparagus. All of these miscella-
neous flowers and greens are moving
rather sluggishly, however.

Various Notes.

The closing of the retail flower stores
Sundays is reported to be a success.
The new order of things went into effect
July 1 and the public seems to have
clieerfully accepted the change.

Growers are not taking any chances
and are doing their best to get supplies
of coal at prevailing prices. They say
that the high price of coal ought to have
an effect on the prices of flowers next
winter. Some have succeeded in getting
all the coal tliey want, while others are
experiencing difficulties in making sat-
isfactory arrangements.

Helen F. Patten has left for Portland,
Me. She will remain for a month in the
Maine woods. Miss Patten is a great
lover of outdoor sports, especially fish-
ing.

Harry Heinl lias gone to Terre Haute,
Ind., for a two weeks' stay at the home
of his mother.

Frank Peck has returned from a two
weeks' fishing trip in northern Michi-
gan. Mr. Peck says that "for a good
rest and for one who likes to catch fine
fish, Michigan is the place."

Tlie outdoor planting season was
much delayed this year by the prolonged
cold and rainy weather, but despite this
fact retailers and growers report a com-
plete clean-up on all kinds of bedding
plants and garden seeds. G. B. S.

CINCINNATI.

•• The Market.

The supply of stock in the market is
large enough to satisfy the present de-
mand, which is steady and better than
it was. The shipping business in greens
is large. Roses are in fair supply,
a limited number of excellent Ophelia,
Russell, Ward and American Beauty
roses being available. Carnations are
small and few arrive, but those that are
available meet with a fair demand.
Lilies are selling more easily than at
the last writing. Asters are far from
abundant as yet, but within a fortnight
there should be plenty of them. Some
excellent sweet peas may be had. Other
offerings include gladioli, rubrum lilies,
larkspur, snapdragons and hardy hy-
drangeas from the south.

Ferns, the new leucothoe and green
galax are meeting with a big demand.

Various Notes.

C. E. Critchell is having a good sale
of his new galax and leucothoe.

Mrs. P. J. Olinger is entertaining
Miss Margaret Weiland and Miss Eliza-
beth Kartheiser, of Evanston, 111.

Chester Roesauer, of the Cincinnati
Cut Flower Exchange, has 'returned
from his vacation.

Edward Bossmeyer, with C. E. Critch-
ell, is taking his vacation during the
current fortnight.

L. H. Kyrk has been receiving some
excellent outdoor lilies. C. H. H.

William Schumann was chosen presi-
dent of the Cincinnati Florists' So-
ciety at the annual election last week.
Other officers elected were: James Al-
len, vice-president; Alex. Ostendarp,
secretary; J. Charles Murphy, treasurer.
The society decided to pay monthly
visits to the establishments of members,
with a view of stimulating interest in
the organization.

COLUMBUS, O.

Business has been extremely quiet ex-
cept for spurts of funeral work, and
these have been rather far between.
Roses have been exceptionally good for
this season of the year, with Ophelia
in the lead and then Maryland, Hoosier
Beauty, Russell and Sunburst. Ameri-
can Beauties are scarce, but the demand
is light. Carnations are in short sup-
ply and small of size, as tne old plants
are making way for the new. Mums'
are doing finely and it seems that the
crop will be as large as last year's.

The receipts of gladioli are larger,
but as yet there are not enough blooms
to go around. Sweet peas have become
a drug in the market and it is diffi-
cult to dispose of all of them, even at
any price. Outdoor flowers are too plen-
tiful and for the most part are moved
at sacrifice prices. Lilies, however, are
in small supply and hard to find on cer-
tain days.

Many of the store workers are at the
summer resorts, but those remaining on
the job have not, from all appearances,
been rushed with work. J. M.

Wampum, Pa. — J. S. Hennon & Sons
are not worried over the supply of coal
for their greenhouse establishment.
Under their place is a "on^-tMa;n, coal
mine," and an experienced inin"6r gets
out the supply for the firm's range of
40,000 feet of glass.

Gtissetless
Eave

HTHE eaves in our Commercial houses
are free from cumbersome brac-
ing parts.

It means simplicity in erection, and
less shade.

It has always seemed to us that the
eave being such a vital point, it
should be as free from joints as pos-
sible. That's why we make the main
supporting members, the post and
rafter, in one continuous solid piece
from the first purlin to the foot base.

Go into one of our houses and see
what a neat, splendid looking piece of
construction it is.

It has the strength. -

Endurance it has beyond any dis-
cussion.

You know we go anywhere for busi-
ness. Or to talk business.

PEONIES FOR MEMORIAL DAY.

Planning for Next Season.

Peonies are entering more and more
into the life of the people. Eecently,
when one of the leading lawyers of
Minneapolis gave his daughter in mar-
riage, his home was decorated with
2,000 peonies and the preference he thus
showed for these flowers was only one
instance of what fashionable people
were doing throughout the country.

Memorial day is of increasing impor-
tance. Then we call a halt; we unfold
the past; we look away into the future.
And it is the special mission of the
florists to supply the most expressive
symbols for such occasions. The flow-
ers speak eloquently of the cheer and
sympathy of nature. When we sorrow-
fully laid away the body of my wife,
June 21, the flowers seemed to be an
introduction to the land "where ever-
lasting spring abides and never-wither-
ing flowers."

Reliable Sorts for the North.

Peonies are especially suitable for
Memorial day, but in the most northerly
states there is always danger of their
being a little tardy. A frequent ques-
tion is, what are the best varieties to
plant with Memorial day in view?

Pffionia umbellata rosea has never failed
to be on time until this abnormal sea-
son. It is an attractive variegated
light pink. The next in order is the
fine old favorite, P. edulis superba. For
whites we have mueen Victoria and P.
festiva maxima, though sometimes both
of these are a little tardy.

We long have needed a good red and
we have found it in Richard Carvel.
It is among the earliest. In appear-
ance it is radiant and glistening and it
is exceedingly fragrant. It seems ready
to bloom on the least provocation. I
have seen charming flowers produced on
it from roots planted the previous fall.
Though high-priced, its merits are such
that I consider it cheap. The grower
should be able to get fifty plants from
one in a few years and then the initial
cost would seem trifling. Do not forget
that September is the planting time.

The Mechanism involved in the Advance Ventilating Machine is
truly a mechanical accomplishment. Nothing simpler can be secured
for doings the work it is capable of handling. No complicated parts to. get
out of order. Neat in appearance and ten times as strong as it looks. Any
user will tell you that an Advance machine does more than is claimed.

Our catalogue thoroughly illustrates and describes our entire line,

I had two houses of Giant Yellow
Polyanthus in full crop at Eas er.
A Review correspondent saw tl em
March 31st and wrote:

"They include some beautiful varietie ,
which are being carefully marked aiil
saved for propagation. One bed 300 fet '^
long, of a pale yellow polyanthus, true 1 )
type in every plant, was particularly
fine. I measured individual flowers tw
inches in diameter and many of the stalls
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

CHOOSING A SPOT

FOR A FLOWER SHOP

In what sort of neighborhood and where in that neighborhood is the best place
for a retail flower store? Upon the correct answer to these questions ofteni
depends the success of a business venture. Herein are some suggestions on
the subject that will be of help to those contemplating a change in location.

O many favorable elements
are required to make a lo-
cation ideal for a retail
flower store that there are
few such places in any
city. However, as it is
upon the selection of a lo-
cation that much of the
success or failure of a re-
tail venture depends, the
favorable and unfavorable elements
should be carefully considered. It is
better to devote time, thought and study
to this question before the lease is
signed, or the purchase made, and a
large sum of money expended on fix-
tures and advertising, much of which
will be a total loss in the event that the
location is found to be unsuited to the
business.

There are, of course, two classes of
retail flower stores — the one in the busy
downtown section where a great pro-
portion of the trade is transient; the
other in a residence section where most
of the sales are made year after year to
the same buyers. Picking a location for
either of these two types of stores re-
quires study of differ-
ent characters, but, at
the same time, much
the same.

There was a time in
the florists' business
when most of the sales
were made to the
wealthy, or so-called
Well to-do class of peo-
ple. The last ten
year«, however, have
broii^rht a change.
NoM adays everyone
buys flowers sometime
during the year.

Where Crowds Are.

The flower stores in
the business districts
of * 'ties catch more of
jl'i'^ class of trade than
tho>.; in residence sec-
"0--. The traflfic past

<loors of this type

tore is so great

there are sufficient

•ers of those mak-
their occasional

pended upon transient trade. He must
have a class of customers who are fairly
regular flower buyers. Hundreds pass
his place as against the many thousands
that daily see the display windows of
the downtown store.

Conditions to be considered in a large
city will apply in cities not so large,
while in the smaller towns many of the
same elements will be found.

Selecting a location for a flower store
in the downtown or business section of
a large city has been the rock upon
which many florists, who had been suc-
cessful in other parts of the same city,
have foundered.

Reasons for Failures.

They have picked a store in the heart
of the retail center; a place that is
passed daily by a constant stream of
the class of people who are flower buy-
ers. Yet success has escaped them be-
cause the rent was too much, or the
proximity of the store to another was
too close, creating a division of busi-
ness that turned a former success into a
failure and never gave the second store

Flower Stores Have Found it Impossible to Earn the Rents Demanded Here.

a chance to become a real success.
It is an odd fact that there are few
flower stores in the largest cities located
on street corners. There are conspic-
uous exceptions, of course, but the
florist usually is "just around the
corner," getting as near as possible
without contracting to pay the higher
rent that a corner location commands.
The exceptions to this rule are stores
managed by men of special talents.

riower sales to transients are made
during what is generally termed "shop-
ping hours;" that is, between 10 a. m.
and 5 p. m., sometimes principally
within much shorter hours. There are
records of florists looking for a place
to start a store making a count of the
traffic during these hours in the dis-
trict picked. This is an arduous task,
but the results have been surprising.
For instance, one man discovered by
this method that during the greater
part of the year traffic in shopping
liours was twenty-four per cent greater
on one side of the street than the other.
The one side was in the shade between
noon and •) p. m., drawing the traffic
from the sunnv side.

. Two sides of many

])usy retail streets
liave sharp distinc-
tions. One side may
l)e devoted to stores
and shops catering to
high-class trade, the
other to department
and so-called bargain
stores. Needless to
say, the people the
latter draw are not
habitual flower buy-
ers. They buy only
for such occasions as
holidays, weddings and
funerals.

Dodge Competition.

The success of a
florist in a certain
location is apt to draw
others to the same
section. In many
cities it is possible to
walk several blocks in
the business district
and find not a single
flower store and then
come upon three or
four grouped cither
near the four corners
or in the middle of the
Idocks adjoining the
corners. By asking
the history of these
stores it usuallv will bo

years, the otliers coming later. And it
also will usually be found that only one
or two are successes, wliile tlie (ttliers
are eitlier breakiiifi^ even or are losers.

Haviiifi^ discovered wliicli is tlie spot
passed by the most ])eople (»t' the class
likely to buy ilowers, tlic would-be
florist begins to hunt a store. For right
here it miglit be said that there are no
ideal locations for a flower store that
are vacant. If the store was vacant it
probably would not be suitable either
for a flower store or any other kind of
store, or it would have been snapped up
before.

Instead of going to a renting agent
to inquire what the rent of such a place
is, the seeker for a store location must
find out what are tlie possibilities of
there being a vacancy in the neighbor-
hood he has selected; and if there is
going to be a vacancy, how much rent
will be required to secure the lease.

High Rent Takes Profits.

Bent is an overhead expense that
goes on in dull as in busy seasons. There
is no escape. Help and delivery can be
increased or decreased as the business
demands, but not so the rent.

What proportion of the gross annual
sales should be expended for rent? That
is a difficult question to answer, be-
cause it varies under different condi-
tions. A florist doing a gross business
of $10,000 per year cannot afford to
pay out so large a percentage of his
gross as the one doing $100,000 per
year. At the same time, the $10,000-a-
year florist will have a higher percent-
age of profit at the end of the year, al-
though not so much in the aggregate.

High-class residence sections provide
the ideal locations for the florist who
has not sufficient capital to start a store
in the business district, where a much
greater investment is required. But
there are many things to be considered
in selecting a site in a residence dis-
trict, more, even, than in finding a suit-
able location downtown.

In Besidence Districts.

The questions a florist should find
the answers to are:

Are the residents of this neighbor-
hood able to buy flowers?

Are the residents of this neighbor-
hood of a type that likes the good things
of life, or are they of the class that

has money, but believes in hoarding it?

There is a fine distinction between the
latter two classes, as florists have dis-
covered. Many people who have money
do not buy s(» many flowers as others
who have less.

Having selected the neighborhood
wherein it is believed a flower store
will pros])er, the choice of a location
which is most easily accessible to these
I)eople is the next consideration.

Location means little in getting the
trade of those who habitually ride in
automobiles. Several blocks more or
less make no difference to the auto
owner. However, distance does make
a difference to the car rider.

A man buys flowers, not when he is
going to business in the morning, but
when he returns from business in the
evening. He boards the car on one cor-
ner and alights from it diagonally op-
posite. The latter is the spot. Not on
the corner, necessarily, but near enough
so that when he gets off the window
display will be in the direct line of his
vision. His thoughts are of home and it
is only natural that, as his eye rests
upon the blooms in the window, he will
desire to have them whether or not he
buys at that particular time.

Getting and Keeping Trade.

This, of course, is what is called tran-
sient trade, but a customer has the first
time to enter any store. Whether he
comes back depends on the service he
gets, the quality of the flowers and the
nearness of the store to his home. A
few stops and satisfying purchases and
at no time will he think of flowers that
he does not think of the store near his
home.

However, there are other considera-
tions than catching the homeward-
bound householder, because there are
many hours of the day when he is not
in evidence.

There are people who go to a certain
street daily and rarely, if ever, cross
it. Traffic from one direction to that
street also is many times of a differ-
ent character tlian that from the other.
Streets witli car lines often are the di-
viding lines between high-class and the
other kind of neighborhoods.

The best location, of course, is where
the florists' shop will stem the tide of
the bettor class of pedestrians, even
though it is on the opposite side from
the s])ot where the business man gets

off the car. This has been provon 1

the fact that a flower store on

the

side has been practically a failure n"*!

by moving across the street h;is ij "

turned into a success. ^"

Building a Business.

New neighborhoods, where apart
ment houses and homes are rapi.Hy u
ing built and where families ;ue be
coming more numerous each yeai-, pr^
vide locations where a florist cai; Ijuju
up a substantial business that v, ;il \,^_
come better and better as the vears
pass. One successful florist opiMed a
store in the heart of a high-class resi-
dence district many years ago. His
business prospered, but gradual!, the
character of the district changu ;. ^
majority of his customers mov d to
more desirable sections, but they con.
tinned to buy of the man who ha ; sold
them for years. The advent of tin auto
truck gave him a means by whi. U he
could render the same service at i dis.
tance of several miles that he gave his
customers when they lived but ;i few
blocks away. He built a substantial
business in the neighborhood and held
that business, despite the change in the
character of near-oy residents.

Theater and Hotel Buildings.

New theaters and new hotels are al-
ways attractions for florists' stores.
The character of the patronage these
places draw makes them seem favorable
locations for flower stores. Sometimes
they are and sometimes they are not.

Too much dependence should not be
placed on the fact that people goiii>; to
theaters and to dine at hotels, no mat-
ter how high the class of these places,
arc at the time pleasure seeking and
therefore likely to buy flowers. It often
happens that they have been provided
or have provided themselves with flow-
ers before leaving their homes.

But either one of these locations is
good providing there are more tiian
the hotel-dining and theater-going
crowds from which to draw patronage.
If the neighborhoods in which these
places are located are high-class and if
the store is so situated that the near-
by residents pass it in their 'ordinary
daily movements, there is every reason
to believe that the business will I'l' a
success.

Selecting a location for a retail store
is the first move in starting such a h\m-

j.^^ These Two Locations are Only Three Blocks Apart, but There is Great Difference in Value from a Retailer's Viewpoint.

i;iit it is a move that ofttimes is
without the consideration it mer-

t ofttimes is the basis of a sub-

A GL/.DIOLUS AND CEDAR SPRAY.

Til,, iccompanyiug illustration of a
.sprav f gladioli by Z. D. Blackistone,
Wasliivu'ton, D. C, is interesting be-
cause, Mr. Blackistone explains, "we
],ave i^od ordinary cedar for foliage.
Hesid' -^ being lasting and inexpensive,
tliis, t'l my mind, combines with gladi-
oli, taiving away the stiffness of the
(lowei^ better than plumosus, or any
other material we have used."

BUSINESS EMBARRASSMENTS.

Savanna, 111.— C. M. Walter, who was
appointed trustee of the Savanna
Cii eon house Co. when it went into the
haiuls of a receiver January 13, 1917,
lias sold the company's greenhouse es-
tablishment and business to Joseph W.
Dunn, one of the incorporators of tlie
lumpauy. Mr. Dunn held a second
mortgage for $5,500 on the property and
after the company was taken over by
the trustee purchased a first mortgage
tor .'t!4,.")00 to protect his interests. The
trustee under the receivership conduct-
ed the business until July 10 in the
hope tliat it might be put on a paying
basis and therefore realize something
for tiic unsecured creditors. However,
in tlie six montlis there was a deficit of
154. Mr. Walter reported to the court
tiiat the high price of coal and other
commodities, and a decrease in business,
made it impossible to earn current ex-
penses. Mr. Dunn paid $500 in cash
over and above his claims for the busi-
ness. This sum enabled tlie trustee to
|iay the debts incurred during the re-
ceivership, but left notliing for the un-
secured creditors. The company was
incorporated in 1912 with capital stock
of $2U,U00 to take over the business
formerly conducted under the name of
Lambert & Dunn and later by Joseph
W. Dunn.

St. Louis, Mo. — The stock and fixtures
of the Kelly Floral Co., which went into
the hands of a receiver recently, were
sold at auction July 19. Keceiver Evans
says the proceeds of the sale together
^\itli a number of good book accounts,
some of which already have been col-
lected, will give the creditors a con-
siderable per cent of tl^eir claims.

WEST OFPERS REWARD.

TRANSPLANTING PERENNIALS.

Please tell mo when I sliould trans-
])lant 3-year-old hardy i)oppies, gaillar-
dias, Japanese irises, coreopsis, phloxes,
hollyhocks and peonies. Should the
clumps or roots bo divided when trans-
])lanted and w411 thev bloom again next
year? ^ C. D.— Mo.

All the ])eroiiiiials named can be suc-
cessfully transplanted in the fall, which
is a more .satisfactory season than
spring for tlie moving of nearly all
hardy perennials. Japanese irises and
peonies do better if divided and trans-
planted earlier than the other varieties;
about the end of September in your lati-
tu<le should be a suitable time. Papaver
orientale can be divided and replanted
soon after the ])eonies and irises.
Pliloxes must be left later, and the last
of October would be a good date for
these. They also can be divided, but
it is well to remember that divided
clumps will not give you as fine spikes
as young stock raised from soft-wood
cuttings in the spring. Hollyhocks can
be divided, but it pays better to sow a
fresh hatch each year, and this is a

good time to start them. Coreopsis
grandiflora is really only a biennial, but
you can divide and transplant C. ver-
ticillata about the end of October. All
tliese perennials need well manured and
deeply plowed or spaded grouml to give
the best results. C. W.

LILIES FOR EASTER.

Which of the lilies is the most suit-
able for growing for Easter this year?
Is the Formosa lily, the dark-stem type,
any easier to grow f(tr Easter, or better
adapted for the jmrpose?

V. R. F.— Ind.

The Formosa lily is a taller and
(•arlier blooming variety than L. longi-
llorum giganteum and is better a<lapted
for cutting, but does not make so good
a ]iot i)laiit. It will be advisable to
stick to giganteum if you want pot
plants, as it is dwarfer and stockier, but
if you cut your flowers you sliould in-
clude some of the Formosa, which can
1)0 bloomed early in a lower temperature
than giganteum. C. W.

BRIEF ANSWERS.

M. F., Mich. — It is Lilium candidum.

The Rorists' Review

July 26, 1017,

NEW EOSES AT PARIS.

Notwithstanding the great conflict
within hearing of Paris, the rose trials
at the Bagatelle gardens have continued
during the war. The report of the judg-
ing of new varieties this season has just
come to hand. The gold medals were
awarded to two yellow roses, one from
Pernet-Ducher, of Lyons, named Mme.
Caristie Martel; the other from Alexan-
der Dickson, of Newtownards, Ireland,
named Margaret Dickson Hamil. The
judges report that both these roses have
shown, during the period of their culti-
vation at Bagatelle, all the points of
good roses, including continuous flower-
ing from spring to autumn. Certificates
were awarded to the following: Mrs.
Mackellar, canary-yellow; Bed Star,
brilliant red; Henriette, orange tea.

In spite of difficulties of transit, seven-
ty-six roses have been received at Baga-
telle this year to be judged in 1918.
Two were from America, one of which
has not yet flowered. Eeport says the
other, Los Angeles, was raised from
Mme. Segond Weber crossed w^ith Lyon
rose. It appears to be a valuable rose,
with the good points of both parents
combined.

BLACK SPOT.

I am having difficulty witli black
spot on rose plants in the greenhouse.
In order to maintain proper growing
conditions it is necessary to spray quite
frequently. What would you advise using
to check or eradicate the trouble? Any
information you can give me relative to
this will be appreciated.

F. B. W.— Midi.

Black spot is, for most rose growers,
the most injurious disease aside from
mildew, which does even greater harm.
The spot is caused by tlie fungus com-
monly known as Actinonoma rosa>. The
spots" occur on tlie upper side of the leaf
and the injury is in proi)ortion to the
number of spots; the entire surface of
the leaf may become affected by the
confluence of the spots. In bad cases
the leaves become yellow and defolia-
tion follows. Growers consider that a
prime cause of black spot is syringing
tlic plants so late in the day that they
do not become dried out by nightfall.
Consequently, the most severe attacks
of the disease may be expected where
the plants are bushy and so tied up that
tlio air does not circulate freely among
tlie foliage.

Wliere the attack of black spot is light

it frequently can be eradicated by re-
moving all the affected foliage and burn-
ing it under the greenhouse boiler. To
throw the foliage on the bench or under
it is as bad as to leave it on the plants.
Where the attack has gotten out of hand
and the disease has become virulent, re-
moving the affected foliage will not suf-
fice and a spray of ammoniacal copper
carbonate is recommended. This ma-
terial can be purchased of any supply
house. It is understood, of course, that
any treatment for the disease will be
ineffective unless accompanied by
proper treatment in the matter of syr-
inging and air. H. O.

rooted in a close frame; one wit!
tie bottom heat is most suitable,

sary. C. W.

Propagating Deciduous Shrubs.

There still is time to propagate such
deciduous shrubs as viburnums, spiraeas,
loniceras, philadelphus, forsythias,
weigelas, hydrangeas and other varie-
ties from soft-wood cuttings, which can
be placed in sand in an ordinary propa-
gating house, or, better still, in a close
(oldframe, where the cuttings can either
be placed in flats of sandy soil or di-
rectly in the frame itself. On hot, sunny
days spray the cuttings several times
a day, but always lightly, and close the
sashes about the middle of the afternoon,
in order to bottle up a brisk heat. As
the cuttings start to callous, reduce the
spraying. When they start to root, run
the frame cooler and more airy. There
is no reason why many country florists
should not raise large numbers of decid-
uous shrubs in this way now, and later
in the season evergreens can be propa-
gated successfully in a cool grecnliousc.

Cold Storage Speciosums.

Pot up some cold storage speciosum
lilies now, to be flowered for Tli.auksgiv-
ing and Christmas. I find they succeed

much better in 8-inch pots, in whieli an
average of five bulbs can be placed, tiian
in those of smaller size. The best pi ^i is
to half -fill the pots at first and top-u'css
afterward as growth advances. Keep
the plants in a cool pit or grecnli use
and be careful not to overwatcr tlicm
until the pots are well filled with r^ it*.
Speciosum lilies succeed better if gi ^^'i^
10 degrees cooler than longiflorunis nul
in winter they should not be 1 P^
warmer than 55 degrees at night. • ,""
ciosums are most useful lilies for ut
ting and are splendid for design wor •

Pansies.

The last week in July or the

sow a main crop of pansies to be '

gliglitly rotted leaves and laying some
birdi or other brush over these to hold
thorn in position. The mulch is re-
moved as soon as the seedlings appear,
but no harm is done if it is not removed
entirely.

A number of pansy specialists offer
excellent strains of pansies. I find a
selection of Giant Trimardeau good. It
can be had mixed or in separate colors.
As a rule purchasers prefer mixtures,
but for bedding separate colors are to
be preferred. Do not overlook the tuft-
ed pansies or bedding violas. Sow and
treat them just as you would pansies.
These violas are splendid for bedding.
They are longer and far more persistent
bloomers than the larger-flowered pan-
sies and make grand ground covers for
bulb beds. They are also good for mass-
ing and for bordering. Blue, yellow,
white and mauve colors of violas can be
bought separately.

Miscellaneous Hardy Plants.

The last of July is a good time to
make sowings of double and single holly-
hocks— the latter are the best — lark-
spurs, lupines, aquilegias, sweet Wil-
liams, rockets, agrostemmas, Dianthus
plumarius, Alyssum saxatile, hardy
candytuft and other biennials and per-
ennials. Everyone with a garden wants
some hardy flowers and all country flo-
rists should equip themselves to meet
this demand. Perhaps this season flower
planting is a little neglected, but the
wave of liysteria which swept some sec-
tions, and the misguided zealots who ad-
vised people to tear out flowers and
plant food crops, are soon going to be
but a memory. I have met many of late
who mourned their lack of flowers, and
lU'xt season will bring these people
li;ick into line as flower purchasers. The
^var also has given us hundreds of thou-
-ynds of new amateur gardeners, and if
1'ut one-fourth of these persist another
.^'•'ar, horticulture will got a big uplift

V oil as nurserymen and seedsmen.

ly at all times, give plenty of water,
keep the surface soil stirred from time
to time, and you will find these a prof-
itable crop. Furthermore, bad weather
will not affect the quality of your flow-
ers as it does the outdoor ones.

Poinsettias.

You can continue to put in poinsettia
cuttings until early in August. The late
cuttings will give plants suitable for
making up in small pans. Be sure not
to leave the cuttings too long in the
cutting bench. If they become at all
hard and have long roots when taken
out of the sand, it will be hard to make
presentable plants of them. Do not
allow the plants that are potted off to
become hard and potbound before giving
them a shift. Good drainage and care-
ful watering are needed for poinsettiiis.
but while we get hot weather and the
plants dry up rapidly the cliancos of in-
jury from these sources are less than we
have the first cold niglits in Soptonibor.

A. G. HECHT GOES TO AMHERST.

The royal road to the position of head
of the departniont of ilorii-ulturc of the
Massachusetts Agricultural College, Am-
herst, Mass., appears to lead through
the University of Illinois. For a sec-
ond time the Massachusetts college filled
its chair in floriculture from the Illi-
nois institution, when A. G. Hecht, first
assistant at the floricultural experiment
station and instructor in floriculture,
was recently chosen for the position.

Mr. Hecht filled the place at the Uni-
versity of Illinois made vacant by the

resignation of A. H. Nehrling, who be-
came head of the department of floricul-
ture at Amherst. Several months ago
Mr. Nehrling resigned to become mana-
ger of McDonald & Co., Crawfordsville,
Ind., and now Mr. Ilecht has again be-
come his successor.

A graduate of the University of Illi-
nois, Mr. Hecht was one of the first to
receive a degree in floriculture, although
he entered the university to take only
a special course. After his graduation
he was selected as an instructor and was
placed in charge of the greenhouses. He
had the endorsement of the faculty at
Illinois for the position at Amherst.

Mr. Hecht was born in Overland, Mo.,
and received his preliminary education
in the public schools of St. Louis coun-
ty. After leaving school he worked
with liis brother, C. Hecht, who has a
florists' establishment near St. I^ouis.
He entered the University of Illinois in
1910. He was popular at Urbana and
his friends predict success for him in
the new position.

'Mr. Hecht is a member of the Illinois
State Florists' Association and the
S. A. F., and is keenly interested in all
matters pertaining to floriculture.

SPOT DISEASE OF GERANIUMS.

What is the matter with the gera-
niums from which the en^^losed leaves
were taken, and what is a remedy for
the trouble? C. E. W.— N. J.

The leaves were rotted when re-
ceived. Probably the plants have some
spot or leaf disease, brought about by
tlae recent spell of damp, sunless
weather. It probably will pass away
with clear skies. If the plants are out-
doors, pick over the worst affected ones
and spray them with Bordeaux mixture.
The same treatment will help plants
still under glass. Avoid spraying the
plants overhead with the hose. Give
them plenty of sun and fresh air and
run the soil a little on the dry side.

C. W.

GERANIUMS FROM CUTTINGS.

I should like to have what informa-
tion you can give me on growing gera-
nium cuttings for the wholesale mar-
ket. I have a small house which is too
low for tomatoes or cucumbers and I
dislike to see an empty house now or at
any season of the year. I have no local
trade in cut flowers. Spring bedding
plants and lettuce are the ero])S I grow.

The house referred to is 10x60 and
lias a sash roof. The walls contain no
glass. The beds arc fourteen inches
from the glass. The liouse is divided
into two parts. One room has raised
ground beds; the other has benches.
The benched room has one more run of
L'incli pipe and has a temperature of
aliout 52 degrees, 5 degrees higher than
ill tlie otlier room. I am building a
lean to in which I will liave a propagat-
ing bench. W. R. H.— Pa.

The house you speak of should answer
well for young geranium stock. Cut-
tings from under glass are less succu-
lent than tliose produced outdoors and
for that reason are much less liable to
dam]) off. A temperature of 48 to 50
degrees will suit the geranium stock
and '} degrees lower on cold nights will
do no harm.

Arrange your propagating liouse so
that tlie heating pipes will run below
the benches and give a bottom heat of
about 6(1 degrees. Geraniums will cal-
lous and start to make roots witliin a
month in such a temperature. The tem-
].craturo of tlie propagating house
should be from 50 to 5.5 degrees. You
should have four inches of clean, sharp
sand in the benches, entirely free from
loam and other dirt. If the sand is
quite line and water does not pass read-
ily through it, you can make it more
])orous by adding some fine coal or coal

ashes to it.

As soon as the cuttings liave roots an
inch long, they are fit for 2Vi-iiK'h po^s.
I would not start propagating until the
end of August. The cooler the weather,
the less liability there is of cuttings

damping off. After taking a crop of
cuttings from your plants outdoors, lift
the plants carefully and plant them in
the house, placing them a foot apart
each way. Better reserve at least one-
half of the house to be used for your
potted plants when thev are rooted.

GERANIUMS FOR BASKETS.

Can you tell me the name of the
geranium of which I am sanding you a
leaf and flower. Should I buy 2-inch
geranium plants now to make good
stock for hanging baskets next Janu-
ary?

S. L. W.— O.

It is Scarlet Crousse, of the ivy-
leaved type. Yes, purchase the plants
at once and plant them in baskets as
soon as they are established in 3-inch
pots. They are not dependable winter-
flowering subjects, but they are fine in
the spring and summer. C. W.

Roman hyacinths, which usuall\ ar-
rive from France about the end oi' Au-
gust, are easily flowered for Christ las.
They can be placed in flats cental ing
four and one-half to five inches of oil
A flat 12x24 inches will hold fift to
sixty bulbs. These will flower by Cl. ist-
mas in a night temperature of 55 de-
grees. Keep them outdoors or in a pit
and cover with sand or coal ashes u ,til
they are well started, before fore ig.
The Dutch hyacinths cannot be su is-
factorily flowered as early as Christ-
mas.

The Due van Thol, or dwarf vari ty
of tulip, can be flowered for Christiiias.
White Hawk and one or two others .ire
also seen in small quantities each year.
I doubt, however, whether there is much
money in trying to force tulips thus
early. A number will come blind i'lid
others will be so short as to be of little
value. French-grown tulip bulbs ^ill
bloom earlier than Dutch, if you can
get them. When forced, these early tu-
lips must be kept dark and warm, to
draw up the stems. Give them nioiu
lieht as the flowers start to expand.

I THE CONVENTION PROGRAM

FLORISTS' HAIL ASSOCIATION.

At a meeting of the directors of the
Florists' Hail Association at Trenton,
N. J., June 8, it was determined to re-
new the corporate existence of the asso-
ciation for a further period of thirty
years, in accordance with the laws of
New Jersey. Secretary Esler now is
notifying the stockholders and members
that final action will be taken at a meet-
ing to be held at the Eobert Treat hotel
at Newark, N. J., at 10 a. m. August
20, the day preceding the opening of
the S. A. F. convention. The annual
meeting will be held the same after-
noon, at the same place, for the usual
election of directors and other business,
which will include the consideration of
a new constitution and by-laws drafted
by J. A. Valentine, of Denver.

AMERICAN CARNATION SOCIETY.

A special meeting of the American
Carnation Society will be held in New
York city August 22 to consider recom-
mendations from the board of directors
on a proposition which provides for
financial participation by the Ameri-
can Carnation Society in the next Na-
tional Flower Show. The meeting will
be held in the S. A. F. convention hall
at 4:30 p. m. on that date. Please ar-
range to be present.

A. F. J. Baur, Sec'y.

Excelsior Springs, Mo. — The Bever
Greenhouses, leased a year ago by L.
R. Bever to Poland & Hammond, have
again been taken over by Mr. Bever.
He is having his houses put in first-
class shape and will have a fine stock of
plants and flowers for the next season.

Williamsbridge, N. Y.— The Anglin &
Walsh Co. has heard with pleasure of
the safe arrival in Porto Rico of a ship-
ment of rose plants to Charles S. Hoff,
an American sent to Porto Rico to in-
struct the natives in agriculture and
floriculture. The mayor of San Juan
has provided a strip of land for the
purpose. Having made a start in agri-
cultural matters, Mr. Hoff and his as-
sistants are taking up floriculture, ob-
taining stock from well known trade
firms in the United States.

WHAT is probably the most important convention in the history of the So-
ciety of American Florists will be the thirty-third annual gathering, to be
held in New York City, August 21 to 23. The war and its effects on the
florists' business will be the principal theme of discussion; the committee on storm
damage insurance, for which the State Florists' Association of Indiana has been
working, will report, and there will be action on the proposal to let the directors
elect the secretary. The discussion of the war's effect on business will un-
doubtedly bring out opinions as to the future conduct of the trade that will be of
value to every florist in the country. The convention program for this year pro-
vides for but three days, instead of four as formerly. There is no program of
entertainment, but New York city is the great amusement resort of the country and
the theaters and show places, the parks and other places of interest, together with
the sea shore resorts nearby, to say nothing of the large number of trade estab-
lishments, will give those who attend plenty to do.

The Grand Central Palace will be the scene of the convention and the head-
quarters for the trade. i

FROM FIELD TO BENCH.

Position of Different Varieties.

On account of the abnormally cool
weather this summer, carnations have
kept up in quality unusually well, and
many growers have been slower than
usual to throw out the old stock to make
room for the new. There has been a
good profit in the blooms, too, for the
season, and that has added to the incli-
nation to hold on. Not much more time
should be lost now, however, in getting
ready for the new stock; otherwise the
new plants will be late in getting into
form next fall, and the grower may lose
more than he gained by holding the old
plants. As stated in previous notes,
there is nothing gained by dilly-dally-
ing along with the bench filling, and
the later it becomes the truer this is.
Put on every man you can and rush it
through.

You should give a little thought to
the placing of your varieties. Every
greenhouse range has portions that run
warmer during the firing season than
others, and by planting the stiffer-
stemmed sorts in the warmer locations
you will have less trouble with weak
stems next winter. We find that Mrs.
Ward will stand three or four degrees
more of warmth than White Wonder,
without affecting the stem. All the En-
chantress varieties like a cool tempera-
ture, while Beacon and St. Nicholas will
thrive in the warmer end. Yellow
Prince, too, will stand 54 degrees with-
out complaining. The same is true of
Merry Christmas.

Shade, Soil and Watering.

The abundant rainfall has kept the
field soil in splendid condition for dig-
ging. Never before have the plants
come up with such a fine root system as
this year, and this should be of great
assistance to the plants in becoming re-
established in the benches. So far we
have added but little to the shade which
was on the glass before the old plants
were taken out, merely touching up
the light spots where the rain had
washed off part of the shading. We find
that the less shade we can get along
with, the better it is for the plants. It
requires closer attention during the first
three or four days, but the plants come
through the ordeal in better condition.

Be sure the soil is in a proper state
of moisture before you begin planting.
It should, of course, not be wet enough
to pack unduly when the planting is
done, but it should be moist enough not
to draw the moisture from the roots
of the plants between the time of plant-
ing and the first watering. After set-
ting a few hundred plants, turn the
water on slowly and water each plant in
well. Of late years we have watered
more heavily at the first watering than
we formerly did, when we applied more
shade to the glass. We find that under

the increased light the soil keeps in
better condition, even with the heavier
watering, and the young rootlets take
hold much more quickly, too. After the
first watering, little more is applied to
the soil, aside from that which drops at
the time of spraying overhead. This,
too, is gauged by the condition of the
plants and is diminished as rapidly as
the plants will allow. We do, however,
keep the walks flooded well for about
ten days and find it a great help in pre-
venting flagging.

Spacing and Depth of Planting.

The distance between your plants in
the benches will be gauged by the va-
rieties and the size of your plants. Such
varieties as Victory and Gloriosa do not
need so much room per plant as Beacon,
White Wonder and the Enchantress va-
rieties. You may either plant the form-
er varieties singly, and plant more
closely, or you may put two or three
plants together and set them at the reg-
ular distances. We plant seven plants
across a 5-foot bench and set the rows
not less than ten, nor more than twelve,
inches apart, for the average run of va-
rieties. Be careful about getting your

j^*^'

rows straight, for the sake of the sup-
porting later on.

Much has been said in the past about
deep and shallow planting. In my opin-
ion both can be overdone. By plantin'^'
too deeply you will encourage stem-rof,
especially if the plants are branched
rather low. If you plant too shallowly,
the plants will not stand up, an-l
you will have trouble with your suji-
ports. We try to set every plant just
deep enough so that it will stand U]»
after the soil has been pressed around
the roots, and that should be just aboul
as deep as they were set in the field.
There should be no need to mention that
the plants should be out of the soil aa
short a time as possible. Keep the dig-
ging and the planting going at about
the same gait. A. F. J. Baur.

Council Bluffs, la. — The Gardiner Flo-
ral Co. has purchased the retail store of
Herman Bros, at 10 Pearl street and
announces that it will continue the
business at that address. The company
is composed of John S. Gardiner, Louise
Herman and Pauline Herman.

Mechanicsburg, O. — The newspapers
hereabouts have a style all their own in
boosting the local industries. The "per-
sonal" items in one of them, for in-
stance, are charged with the power of
publicity, C. M. Jack, the local florist,
recently making the column in this man-
ner: "C. M. Jack, the greenhouseman,
has a fine batch of sturdy plants that so
far have dodged the 'high cost,' and
the good man is doing his best to anchor
fair prices, while everyone else is sky-
larking with the consumers' cash."
Hurrah for the power of the press!

,»4»iinliAw

Centerdale, R. I. — Mrs. Euth A.
Mowry has purchased a greenhouse of
W. Eitchie, of the Lincoln Park Green-
houses, Hillsgrove, and has been busy
putting out bedding stock.

Springfield, Mass. — L. D. Eobinson
has several thousand bulbs saved, so he
will be in fair shape for next season.
Large cuts of outdoor blooms are being
received at the store from the nursery.

Brockton, Mass. — According to the
sign, they are the Central Greenhouses,
but an inquiry for the boss will bring
out none other than A. L. Lothrop,
whose activities have been recorded at
other times at other places.

Framingham, Mass. — James Butter-
worth has something interesting in or-
chids at all seasons. The stock is in
its usual vigorous condition, with prom-
ise of abundant blooms later on, when
the market will be in a more apprecia-
tive condition.

Springfield, Mass. — William Schlatter
& Son are remodeling their store. They
are stimulating summer business in
decorative stock by making special of-
fers in palms. It is a good idea, for it
cleans out the old stock and makes room
for a new line.

Westerly, R. I. — Conrad Schultz was
in Providence and Boston last week on
business. Mr. Schultz is making a drive
on cyrtomium ferns.

Peabody, Mass.— J. M. Ward & Co.
expressed themselves well pleased with
business. Cyclamens, always good sell-
ers with them, are doing splendidly.

Pittsfield, Mass. — The new seed store
of Frank Howard is conceded to be an
ornament to the town. It is both hand-
some in appearance and complete in ar-
rangement.

Westerly, R. I. — Mark A. Cassidy,
superintendent of school garden work,
who was seriously injured about a month
ago by the overturning of an automo-
bile, returned to his duties last week.

Northampton, Mass. — The regular
meeting of the Holyoke and Northamp-
ton Florists' and Gardeners' Club was
held July 10 at Smith College Botanic
Garden, with a good number of members
in attendance. The hardy perennial
garden was the most attractive feature
on this occasion, there being nearly 100
different varieties in flowers. D. J. Gal-
livan read a paper on table decorations.
The only exhibit was well grown Japan-
ese iris in variety from Gallivan Bros.

How^ R. Vincentt Jr.> & Sons Co.t White Marsh, Md.> Beat the High Cost of Labor in Planting Acres of Dahlias.

PLANTING OUT BY MACHINERY.

Because of the scarcity and increased
cost of labor, machines are taking the
places of men on the E. Vincent, J"., &
Sons Co. place at White Marsh, Md.
Plowing is done by tractor, while a
planting machine is used to plant out in
tlie field. The tractor and planting
machine in operation are shown in the
accompanying illustrations.

It was to meet the labor conditions
that the Vincent company experimented
witii the machines. It was discovered
that with the tractor one man can do
the work of three men and ten horses.
Three men and the planting machine
can accomplish as much in a day as six
or seven men.

The soil is prepared for planting by
disk harrows drawn by the tractor. The
planter is of the same type that is used
for planting out vegetables, tobacco and
other plants with the exception that for
tlie plants named there is a barrel of
water carried and a little is dropped at
the root of each plant. For flower
plants, the barrel is removed and a plat-
form installed. "We can plant with
this machine about 20,000 2-inch pot
dahlia plants and the same quantity of
3-inch pot canna plants," declares Mr.
Vincent.

THEIPS IN HOUSE AND FIELD.

I am having trouble with thrips on
gladioli outdoors and in two houses,
one used for sweet peas and the other
tor carnations. I am anxious to get the
jiests cleaned out before the new crop
of peas is planted. I do not know
whether these are like the thrips in the
fast. The young ones are straw-
colored and cannot jump far. The
mature insects are black and about
one-eighth of an inch long, and
'•an jump fast. I have two beds of Bon-
iiaffon mums in the sweet pea house and
these insects are on them also. I am
spraying with Nico-Fume twice a week,
syringing with strong pressure twice a
'>ay and keeping the ground stirred.
This does not seem to help. Will Paris
green or arsenate of lead help and at
"what strength is it safe to use these in-
Joors? Will fumigating with tobacco
stems help? The thrips are much worse
outdoors than in the houses.

V. G.— Mo.

Do not use Paris green alone. It will
not kill the pests and will probably burn
the foliage. Neither will arsenate of
lead prove effective in itself and it
disfigures foliage badly. Tobacco stem
fumigation I have little faith in.
C. W.

A FAILURE WITH BEGONIAS.

I have had a failure with tuberous
begonias and should like to get some
suggestions as to the probable cause.
The tubers were started in flats in Feb-
ruary and made a fine growth at first,
but since they were moved from 4-inch
pots into 5-inch and 6-inch pots to flower
they have been going down steadily.
The root action is poor. The flowers
wither as soon as they open and the
plants have a sickly apeparance, with
sometimes a branch or leaf-stem rot-
ting. The soil used was such as we
grow coleus in, consisting of one part
leaf-mold, one part rotted manure and
three parts old compost from the sweet
pea beds. The soil is clay. Was this
too light and rich for the final potting?
The plants are in a shaded house. The
ventilation is not first-class and the
temperature runs from 90 to 100 de-
grees in the daytime, with about 60 de-
grees at night. Would a cooler house
suit them better and should they be car-
ried wet or on the dry side? Does wet-
ting the foliage on bright days harm
them? V. G.— Mo.

wallias, lavateras, Scilla sibirica, pusch-
kinias. Anemone Giant St. Brigid, Al-
lium neapolitanum grandiflorum.

L. A. W.— Miss.

Your soil was not of the best for
tuberous begonias. If you would leave
out the leaf -mold at the last potting and
use one part old, decayed cow or horse
manure and three parts well rotted and
broken up sod, with some coarse sand
and broken charcoal added where the
loam is of a clayey, retentive nature,
your plants would do much better. How-
ever, I think you have grown them much
too warm and close. These begonias
need some shade and should not be
syringed overhead at all. They want a
cool and well ventilated house and the
shade must not be heavy. Allow them
to dry out fairly well between the
waterings, but never let them become
anything like dust-dry. Feed well with
liquid manure when the pots are well
filled with roots, C. W.

Try spraying with a mixture of one
pound of Paris green, 100 gallons of
water and twenty pounds of brown
sugar. I have found this quite effective.

PLANTS FOR CHRISTMAS BLOOMS.

I would like to have some plants in
bloom at Christmas and want to know
when to plant and when to expect
blooms of the flowers: Godetias, bro-

You cannot flower Scilla sibirica,
Puschkinia libanotica, Anemone St.
Brigid, Allium neapolitanum and lava-
teras for Christmas. Browallias, if
sown now, can be flowered at that time,
and godetias sown early in August and
grown as cool as possible can be
flowered for the holidays. None of the
plants you name will prove of much
value for the holidaj^s. Godetias, even
if you can flower them, are likely to be
in poor condition during the darkest
period of the year. C. W.

SMILAX THE THIRD YEAR.

Will smilax plants do well the third
year, providing they are cleaned and
transplanted into new soil? The plants
are doing splendidly, sending up a fine
batch of new shoots. C. A. — Pa.

Smilax may be grown for three years
in the same bed if the plants remain in
good condition, and probably will give
better results without replanting. Ke-
move the rubbish from the surface of
the bed and the dead growth from the
plants; then give the plants a good top-
dressing, with the compost consisting of
one part soil and one part cow manure.

Syringe the plants regularly and
water them moderately until the growth
gets a start. After this season it would
be safer to dig out the bed, refill it with
new soil and plant with strong, young
plants from 3-inch pots. W. H. T.

OLEANDER FOLIAGE BURNED.

I am enclosing some oleander leaves
and would like to have you tell me the
cause of their condition.

C. E. W.— N. J.

This condition may be due to the
plants having been kept too dry while
in winter storage. If you water the
plants abundantly, feed them with
liquid manure or top-dress them and
syringe them freely, they will soon
make abundant new growth. C. W.

Peoria, HI. — The continued advance
of prices of materials has caused the
florists of Peoria to form an organiza-
tion for the purpose of pooling their
purchases in the future. Plans for the
cooperative buying were completed at
a meeting last week at the Siebenthal &
Nelson store.

How R. Vincent, Jr., & Sons Co., White Marsh, Md., Beat the High Cost of Labor in Planting Acres of Dahlias.

1 LANTING OUT BY MACHINERY.

Hc-ause of the scarcity and increased
I t of labor, machines arc taking the
I ' CCS of men on the K. Vincent, .1 •., 6c
> ii< Co. ijlace at Wliite ^Marsli, Md.
I I 'wing is done l)y tractor, while a

I ; II ting machine is used to plant out in

Held. The tractor and planting
;;,.;rliine in operation are slif)Wii in the
,1 ■ Miniianying illustrations.

It was to meet the lahor conditions

II it the Vincent conijiany e.xiieriinented
virli the macdiines. It was discovered
ili.it with tlie tractor one man can do
:!;.• wiirls of three men aiid ten horses.
Tinii' men and the ])lanting macdiine
I Ml accojiijilish as much in a day as six
' ' <i'ven men.

The soil is prepared for ]danting by
'!>k harrows drawn by the tractor. The
I'liiiter is of the same type that is used
tiT (danting out vegetables, tobacco and
"I her ]ila7its with the exception that for
the jdants named there is a barrel of
•"■iTer carried and a little is dropped at
till' root of each plant. I'or flower
i'l'ints, the barrel is removed and a plat-
I'lrm installed. "We can jdant with
this ma(diine about 20,000 2 inch pot
'hih'ia plants and the same quantity of

inch pot canna ]dants," declares Mr.
'^ iiiccnt.

THRIPS IN HOUSE AND FIELD.

I am having trouide with thrips on
. 'adioli outdoors and in two houses,

lie used for sweet pe.'is and the other

' r carnations. 1 am anxious to get the

' --ts cleaned out before the new crop

I)eas is planted. I do not know

'hether these are like the thrips in the

:ist. The young ones are straw-

dored and cannot jump far. The

iiture insects are black and about

■le eighth of an inch long, and

II jump fast. I ha\e two lieds of Bon-
ift'ou mums in the sweet pea house and

iese insects are on them also. I am
^raying Avith Nico-Fume twice a week,
ringing with strong pressure twice a
;iy and keejiing the ground stirred.
■ his does not seem to ludp. Will Paris
reen or ars<'nate of lead ludp and at
hat strength is it safe to use these in-
doors? Will fumigating with tobacco
terns help? The tlirips are much worse
utdoors than in the lu)uses.

V. (1.— Mo.

l>o not use I'aris green alone, it will
not kill the pests and will probably burn
the f<diage. Neither will arsenate of
lead jirove effective in itself and it
disfigures foliage badly. Tobacco stem
fumigation I have little faith in.

C. W.

A FAILURE WITH BEGONIAS.

I have had a failure with tuberous
begonias and should like to g(!t some
suggestions as tt) the piobalde cause.
The tubers were startecl in flats in Feb-
ruary and made a fine growth at first,
but since they were moved from 4-inch
]>ots into ri-incli and (Mnidi pots to flower
they have been going down steadily.
The root action is jioor. The flowers
wither as soon as they open and the
]dants have a sickly apeparance, with
sdmetimes a branch or leaf stem rot-
ting. The soil us(>d was such as we
grow coleus in, consisting of one part
leaf-mold, one ])art rotted manure and
three i>arts old compost from the sweet
pea beds. The s(ul is clay. Was this
loo light and rich for tlie final potting?
The plants arc in a shaded house. The
viMitilation is not first-class and the
temperature runs from 90 to 100 de
grees in the daytime, with alxHit (50 de-
grees at night. Would a cooler house
suit them better and slio\ild they be car-
ried wet or on the dry side? Does wet-
ting the foliage on liright days harm
them.^ V. C — Mo.

Try spraying with a mixture of one

.'ound of I'aris green, 1<'0 gallons of

'•^ater and twenty pounds of brown

' ugar. J have found this quite effective.

Your soil was not of the best for
tuberous begonias. If you would leave
out the leaf-mold at the last potting and
use one part old, deca.\('(| cow or horse
manure and thri'e parts W( II rotted and
broken up sod, with some coarse sand
and broken charcoal added where the
loam is of a clayey, retentive nature,
your jdants would do much better. How-
ever, I think you have grown them much
too warm and close. These begonias
need some shade and should not be
syringed overhead at all. They want a
(■Old and well \entiiate(l house and the
shade must not be hea\y. .\ilow them
to dry out fairly well between the
waterings, but ne\ cr let them become
anything like dustdrv. Frmi well with
lici'.iid manure when the pots are well
filled with roots. C. W.

PLANTS FOR CHRISTMAS BLOOMS.

I would like to have some jdants in
Idoom at Christmas and want to know
when to jdant and when to expect
blooms of the flowers: Godetias, bro-

wn llias, la\ateias, Scilla sibirica, [lusch-
kinias. Anemone (ii.ant St. l»rigid. Al-
lium neapolitaniim ^ra rolitloniin.

The Florists^ Review

July 26, 1917.

VEGETABLES AND
FRUITS DEPARTMENT i

BLOSSOM-END BOT.

Will you tell me what causes tomatoes
under glass to be affected with a hard
rot on the under side!

T. H. G.— N. Y.

This is usually caused by a deficiency
of moisture in the benches when the
plants are setting. Air freely and keep
the soil somewhat more moist. Also
cut away all needless shoots and shorten
back any leaves which cover the
bunches too much. C. W.

ONIONS UNDER GLASS.

Can onions be grown from seed under
glass? If so, what strain of seed should
be used and about what time should a
crop, from seed sown now, be ready for
the market? What kind of fertilizer
is best for them? With what vegetables
would a florist be likely to have the
best success under glass?

T. H. G.— N. Y.

Onions can be grown under glass, but
would hardly prove to be a paying crop
and certainly not at this hot season.
They start best in cool weather. They
need a strong soil, containing plenty of
well rotted manure. The best time for
you to start these for an early crop
would be in December or January, and
for an indoor crop yellow sets would
prove much more satisfactory than
seeds, as the sets make bulbs more
quickly.

As a summer crop, tomatoes and cu-
cumbers are the most profitable to grow,
while in winter lettuces have first call,
with a demand toward spring for rad-
ishes, beets and carrots. C. W.

PITTSBURGH, PA.

The Maxket.

Real summer weather during the last
week brought real summer business,
consisting mostly of funeral orders.
Wholesalers and retailers are having
a quiet time and appear glad of a rest
after a strenuous season. There has
been no scarcity of any kind of stock.

Vaxious Notes.

Members of the trade in Pittsburgh,
or a majority of those who were eligi-
ble for draft, had numbers which were
drawn toward the end and in conse-
quence will not be among the first to
be called into service.

The florists and gardeners still are
talking about the automobile outing of
the Pittsburgh Florists' Club July 18.
More than 100 enjoyed the luncheon
served by Mrs. C. A. Armstrong in the
garage at her place. Wives of garden-
ers assisted the commissary committee.
At the Allegheny cemetery, Mr. and
Mrs. William Falconer had lemonade
and cakes for the tourists. These re-
freshments had just been finished when
a storm drove everyone to shelter. It
was one of the most enjoyable days
the florists of Pittsburgh ever have
experienced.

Albert F. Vick, of the Pittsburgh Cut
Flower Co., is spending his vacation
at Buffalo and nearby points in Canada.

Clarke.

W. H. B3JUIJ, GOES TO WAR.

When President Wilson issued his
call for young men to come forward for
service during the war, one of the first
in the florists' trade to respond was
William H. Knull, of the Knull Floral
Co., Tampa, Fla., who enlisted in the
army medical corps. As can plainly be
seen by the accompanying portrait, Mr.
Knull is of the type of young Americans
who are certain to give a good account
of themselves in the service.

Mr. Knull is of the third generation
of the family in the florists' business.
His father, F. A. Knull, was one of the
pioneers in the business in Tampa and
his grandfather is William Terrell, of
William Terrell & Son, owners of a
greenhouse range at Warsaw, Ind.

The Knull Floral Co. has a range of
greenhouses at Twenty-seventh and Ne-

William H. Knull.

braska avenues, Tampa, and a retail
store at 406 Tampa street. Young Mr.
Knull was manager of the latter during
the two years previous to his enlist-
ment.

As The Review has pointed out, the
war is certain to take many young men
from the florists' trade. So that the
other members of the trade may be kept
informed about them, Tlie Review will
be glad to publish their names. Send
them in.

Chicopee Falls, Mass. — Frank Burfitt
is touching up his snug range, doing
what many overlook; namely, painting
up before planting. The man wielding
the brush should not be compelled to
"watch his step" among the plants.

Salem, Mass. — W. T. Walke says no
grower, either of plants or cut flowers,
will have a walkover next season. He
sees the small grower squeezed tighter
and the stronger one making stronger
bids for business. A batch of cyclamens
in 5-inch pots, in perfect health, was
noted; also the absence of the usual
house of begonias. The idea seems to
be to grow stock that will thrive in a
low temperature.

HAIL H4V0C

North Vernon, Ind. — The second liail
storm in two months struck the green-
house range of Warren Huckleberry
July 13. Mr. Huckleberry lost 2,800 feet
of glass. May 26 hail destroyed 5,000
feet of glass on the same range.

Waukegan, IlL — A hail storm July
13 broke 800 panes of glass and de-
stroyed $100 worth of cannas on the
place of Theodore Meyer and did con-
siderable damage to the greenhouses of
M. P. Dilger. No hail fell in the vicin-
ity of the L. Potter & Son place.

HAIL AT ANDERSON, IND.

Anderson was visited by a hail storm
July 13. Hundreds of panes of glass in
greenhouses were destroyed and much
damage was done to stock in the fields.
Those who suffered were B. H. Klus &
Son, J. S. Stuart & Son, W. W. Leather-
man and Williams & Matthews. The
Farmer range, used by Klur & Son, also
was severely damaged.

Williams & Matthews lost about 2,000
panes of glass; Klus & Son and the
Farmer range about 4,000; Stuart & Sou
about 1,200 and D. W. Leatherman
about 1,000. Glass on the south side of
the Williams & Matthews houses was
undamaged, not a single pane being
broken. Mr. Leatherman 's money loss
was estimated at $300 on his range and
$20 on his dwelling. Stuart & Son's
loss was estimated at about the same
amount. Crops in many places north
and south of Anderson were ruined.

Only a small part of the loss was cov-
ered by insurance.

MINNEAPOLIS, MINN.

The Market.

Much heat, much rain and some hail
have played havoc with outdoor stock,
bringing ruin to many of the sweet peas,
delphiniums and other flowers. Busi-
ness is quiet, with funeral work the
mainstay. There is an abundance of
Easter lilies, and as a result the quota-
tions are as low as $4 and $5. They
move well, however, principally in fu-
neral work. Outdoor flowers are plenti-
ful, but serve their purpose well in dec-
orations. Good roses arrive from the
east, including American Beauties and
Russells of the finest quality, while the
local growers are strong on valuable
short-stemmed blooms, such as Kaiserin,
Ward and Maryland.

Various Notes.

Things have been quiet at the Whit-
ted Floral Co. stores, as is to be ex-
pected, although funeral work has kept
the force occupied.

Fine gladioli, sweet peas, daisies and
gypsophilas are being brought to the
market from the Franklin Nursery.

William F. Holmes is particularly
proud of a fine batch of pandanus.

Some of the finest short-stemmed roses
seen in the city are the product of the
Minneapolis Floral Co. E. M. P.

Worcester, Mass. — The Ross Bros. Co.
has had a banner seed and implement
business.

Mrs. D. Hanuah.

Mrs. Dundel Hannah, wife of H. O.
fi.unah, of Sherman, Tex., died July 9,
10 7. The decedent was a practical flo-
rist and during the last ten years spe-
ei;;]lzed in decorative work, in which
ji, r skill was second to none. She
^vrs in charge of the cut flower depart-
iiMiit of the Sherman Greenhouses &
(.Miden, H. O. Hannah & Son, proprie-
tors, and as such built up a large pat-
riiiiage.

Mrs. Hannah had many friends, al-
tliough her home and her family were
her all. She is survived by her husband
and two sons.

H. B. Buck.

H. B. Buck, of W. E. Marshall & Co.,
tlio New York seedsmen, died Saturday,
July 21. Mr. Buck was well known in
tlie trade and had many friends in the
eastern cities. Interment was at Ken-
sico cemetery, New York, July 24.

NEW YORK.

The Market.

A week of intense heat, with occa-
sional showers, added to the dullness
of the market. Shipments of nearly
everything were light. As a result
l)rices were steady. Asters arrived in
considerable quantities and the usual
flood of them is expected soon. Gladiolus
shipments are increasing daily. The
quality is excellent. The price July 21
ranged from 50 cents to $1 per dozen.

There was a good supply of American
Beauties. The quality is better. Top
prices were $25 per hundred. There
are enough hybrid tea roses in many
varieties for the demand. The best sell
at $5 per hundred, while the others
ran^e down to 50 cents per hundred.
The market is well supplied with
orchids, good gigas bringing 60 cents
oach, cattleyas 30 to 50 cents and others
as low as $20 to $25 per hundred.

The supply of valley is limited and
$6 per hundred was asked July 21.
Lilies have risen to $5 per hundred for
tlie selects, with no surplus. Rubrums
sell at $3 per hundred, as do the in-
ferior longiflorums. Continued ship-
ments of carnations have caused sur-
prise. Some selected flowers sold last
week as high as $2 per hundred. Most
of the arrivals, however, brought 50
cents per hundred.

Some fine delphiniums are arriving
daily. Sweet peas and daisies are
abundant. Feverfew has been sup-
])lanted by candytuft. There are quan-
tities of coreopsis, antirrhinum and
gaillardia. The rambler roso season is
over.

Various Notes.

Entries for the convention bowling
contest may be sent to Joseph Fenrich,
51 West Twenty-eighth street. The
New York Club still is the recognized
chamj)ion of the S. A. F. bowling clubs.
Philadelphia has entered its protest
and challenge.

Walter Mott was in the city July 21.
He was on his way to Beacon, N. Y.,
after a trip through the New England
states for Benjamin F. Hammond. Mr.

Mott attended the luncheon to the Kil-
ties and Highlanders while here. He
will have charge of the Hammond ex-
hibit at the convention.

W. Kenney, of the P. J. Smith force,
spent his vacation camping at Croton
on Hudson. John Einsel and N. F.
Raible, Jr., of the same store, have
adopted the vacation plan of a day off
alternately during July, as have the
employees of several other wholesale
houses.

Walter Siebrecht and Clarence Slinn
were at Salt Lake City, Utah, en route
to California by automobile, when last
heard from. They expect to reach the
coast by August 1. They will visit San
Francisco, Los Angeles, Pasadena and
San Diego before returning.

William Her, of the Edward C. Horan
force, is in the mountains for his vaca-
tion.

C. H. Totty has had an enjoyable
holiday at Atlantic City.

R. J. Irwin leaves next week for
Montreal to attend the convention of
Canadian florists. J. Austin Shaw.

INDIANAPOLIS, IND.

The Market.

The supply of stock shortened last
week and with the exception of lilies
and Shasta daisies there is not an over-
abundance. Gladioli are coming in good
shape and meet a demand. Asters are
not in big supply and the quality is
poor. Outside sweet peas clear easily

at 40 and 50 cents per hundred. Snap-
dragons still are in good demand and
quality. Garden flowers are abundant.
Green is in fair supply. Funeral work
has been the principal business and
creates a demand for lilies.

Various Notes.

Henry Eisner is in St. Louis on a va-
cation.

Albert Kempe has a new automobile.

William Ross recently was struck by
an interurban car and last reports said
his condition was critical.

Those in the trade who were among
the first to be drafted were Henry
Bohne, John Chisholm, Walter Hansen,
Harry Bohne, Edwin Nelson, Edwin
Temperley, Charles Pahud, Otto Law-
rence, Fred Stolte, Roy Cleavenger and
De Witt Mosey.

Harry Pahud has gone to Rochester,
Ind., for a short vacation.

Irwin Bertermann is spending his va-
cation on a motor trip to Chicago.

Paul Janisch, of the Broad Ripple

speeding and twice has been forced by a
policeman to move his car because it
had been parked more than the allotted
time. »

Albert Stanley has a large field of
Shasta daisies and is cutting some fine
flowers for the local market.

Baur & Steinkamp are shipping large
orders of mums and poinsettias. Four

R. S. Carey, of South Hadley Falls,
Mass., remarked tliat it took consider-
able suasion to combat the nearly gen-
eral abandonment of the use of flow-
ers at school commencements, but his
best stock was cleared, nevertheless.

Chatterton Warburton, of Fall River,
Mass., is picking some extra fine sweet
peas, in lavender and pink. He men-
tioned that his grower liad ordered from
a well known seed house one pound of
a standard white, a named kind, and
one can imagine his chagrin when the
suj>posed white bloomed pink. "There's
the rub," said Mr. Warburton, "but
what can we do about it? Shall we be
forced to seek the protection of the gov-
ernment, as is now done with insecti-
«ides?"

Caryopteris Mastacanthus is making
a fine showing at Newport, R. I. It
makes an excellent hedge of medium
height.

Journeying from Lynn to Salem,
Mass., in fact all along the rugged coast
of New England, as far as the eye can
see, there is the native yellow antir-
rhinum, or "butter and eggs" as it is
known locally, in one solid mass of
blooms. All nature is reveling at this
time, and it should not be a source of
disappointment to the florist if there is
not much call for the greenhouse flow-
ers, which are all the more appreciated
wlien nature resigns to him later on.
In the meantime the florist should plan
to have nature continued indoors, rotary
fashion.

Thomas Clark, of New London, Conn.,
has it figured out that it will pay the
owner of a range of glass operated to
supi)ly the downtown store to close
down next winter, but open up early in
spring, with a new stock supplied by the
large growers who are equipped for such
a purpose. This is the more easy if
one can rely on a good grower or whole-
saler, as can Mr. Clark, who believes
others will adopt this plan if present
conditions continue. Business generally
has kept up well.

Richard Higgins, of Providence, has
been able to strike the happy medium —
enough funeral work to keep busy when
outside orders are quiet. A new sales-
room is planned for next season.

Tlie rose garden at Roger Williams
park, Providence. R. I., is not exten-
sive, but it contains the best well known
roses, which are now at their best. The
ramblers, trained up the electric light
polos and elsewhere, arc gorgeous. The
collection of conifers embraces every
variety that will thrive here. Tlie moist
season, now warmer, is ideal for all out-
door vegetation, and Superintendent
Fred Green is justly proud of his mag-
nificent park.

The W. E. Barrett Co., of Providence,
reports a plienonienal seed season.
"Bugs?" ejaculated Manager Williams.
"The famous fifty-seven varieties are
not in it when compared with tlie sto-
ries some of our patrons pour into our
ears, but we alwavs have a remedy
handy." ' W. M.

There seems to be small chance of
azaleas reaching this country in any
quantity this autumn.

Sales made today sometimes may be
at the expense of the future, but the re-
verse rarely is true: A sale lost by a
florist is not easily recovered.

Camouflage is the art of making
oneself inconspicuous amid one's sur-
roundings. The armies are studying it,
but many florists are past masters through
long practice.

There is a place for Pink Ophelia. The
color is more nearly the true pink than in
any other rose on the market, and it
should prove to be an easy doer, making it
useful both to retailers and growers.

Wholesalers say collections in the
trade have been slower than usual this
spring and summer. It is felt that the
reason is seen in the florists' higher costs
of doing business not compensated for
by better selling prices.

There has been a big business in
chrysanthemum plants this month, the
demand coming later than usual because
the bedding plant business was late and
the benches were occupied longer than
usual by the spring crop.

Many growers talk of dropping ge-
raniums because of the surplus of the
last two seasons, and because of the low
prices, considered unprofitable under
present conditions. But the surpluses
last year were local only and this year were
due to war and weather. At the same
time production increased. It is not fair
to blame the geranium.

In the country towns, as a rule, the
spring season figures up a specially good
one; it seems to have been in the cities
the uncertainties had most effect.

REACHING THE TRADE.

Of no issue of The Review in 1917
have less than 12,000 copies been or-
dered; for most of the time the press-
room order has stood to print 12,500
copies of each issue.

How many florists do you think there
are who do not read The Review?

HAS YOUR COAL COST BEEN CUT?

The Review has received the follow-
ing letter from F. S. Peabody, Washing-
ton, D. C, chairman of the Committee
on Coal Production of the Council of
National Defense:

I have just read with considerable interest your
article (in The Review of July 5) on coal prices.

Peeling that it was written without a full
understanding of the action taken at the con-
vention of coal operators, the latter part of June.
I am therefore sending you a copy of the pro-
ceedings of that convention.

The enclosure was the statement
given the press under date of June 28,
which was widely quoted in the daily
papers as bringing a material reduction
in the price of coal.

The Review replied to Mr. Peabody as
follows:

Your letter of July 16, 1917, with enclosure,
came safely and has been read with interest.

For your information, so far as we have been
able to ascertain, the convention of coal opera-
tors has made no reduction in the cost of fuel to
anyone in the trade our journal represents,
neither to those who buy on contract, by the
carload, or at retail. If anything, the action
of the operators' convention has had the effect
of affirming previously existing high prices.

If any florist has been able to buy
coal any cheaper in July than June by
reason of the widely heralded "reduc-
tion" in prices. The Review will be
pleased to learn of the fact and will
gladly tell the trade about it.

HERE'S THE GOOD WORD.

What a pleasure it is to meet Mr.
Smiley Glad, the apostle of good cheer,
who says, "We had the largest and
finest stock of chrysanthemum plants this
year we ever had and one more inser-
tion of the ad in The Review will clean
them up nicely. The call for mums this
year was the latest we have ever known,
due no doubt to the late season, the heav-
iest demand coming in the last part of
June and first part of July. " It is from
N. E. Beck Floral Co.,'Massillon, O.,
and the writer adds:

"Prices have been advanced on near-
ly everything here and business is fine,
with a good outlook for next season.
Bedding plants cleaned up well around
here, good 4-inch geraniums retailing
at from $2 to $2.40 per dozen. If coal
is high 'we should worry,' as everyone
expects to pay a high price. We have
just finished cutting a fine crop of wheat
on our two farms and expect to plant
about seventy-five acres to wheat this
fall. We sold our last year's crop of
1,800 bushels this spring when the price
was up."

There is an old saying that "noth-
ing succeeds like success" and certainly
the successful man is far more pleasant
company than the chronic complainer.

APPRECIATION.

ing to serve. Many, many times yom
efforts are appreciated and are not in
vain, but many times that little pat on
the back that sends a thrill through you
is withheld. That is why, when lettors
containing such sentiments come to The
Review, the editor and his assistants
dig in with renewed vigor and try to
more fully merit such approbation as
their readers may feel.

The above was caused by that which
follows:

Please find enclosed check for $1.50 for an-
other year's subscription to The Review, wlich
we find indispensable, not having missed a sin-
gle copy for seventeen years. — KnuU Floral i j
Tampa, Fla., July 14, 1917.

The Review has many subscribi is
who have been receiving the paper siiue
the first issue, nearly twenty years.

THE DRAFT.

No man is drafted until an exemption
board has passed on his fitness to be a
soldier, but the effect on the trade will
be apparent by a perusal of the news-
letters in this issue of The Review. Tlie
already existing shortage of experienced
help will be accentuated with each call
to the colors.

The draft was a lottery and containcl
a sporting element which seems to have
appealed to the people, but now that
chance has played its part it is seen
that inequalities have resulted. From
certain establishments a number of
men are called up for examination,
while competitors are not called on to
make any present contribution from
their staff.

The government expects one-half the
men examined will be exempted, but the
proportion passed among florists no
doubt will be higher than the average,
as florists as a class are physically fit
and the industry is not an essential one
from the military point of view.

There will be several ways in which
the effect of the draft will be noted —
the scarcity of experienced helpers will
lead to the employment of untrained
people, especially women; the necessity
for a redistribution of the skilled work-
ers will result in advancing wages,
slowly, perhaps, but surely; the increas
ing difficulties of production will result
in one or another of two things, lower
quality or decreased production.

One of the greatest pleasures in life
is knowing that the results of your ef-
forts find favor with those you are seek-

CHICAGO.

The Market.

Although there is no extraordinary
business being done in the wholesale
cut flower market, the feeling on the
whole is one of satisfaction with the
way in which the market is holding up.
There has been some hot weather in
the last few days and with a few more
similar ones stock will undoubtedly
shorten rapidly.

The quality of the stock which ar-
rives for the greater part is poor and
good stock may be said to be scarce.
Garden flowers hold an important place
on the list. The demand for them is
good and much stock is arriving. Car-
nations play but a slight role, only a
small amount of good stock coming in.

There is a fair supply of American
Beauties and for this season they are of
good quality. The demand is active
enough to clear the stock that arrives.
While there are many poor quality roses
arriving, not much good stock is to be

had. Eussell continues as the leader.
Red roses are probably in next active
demand. As Eichmonds are scarce and
of poor quality, this need is met by
Milady, which is in fair supply. Kil-
larney and White Killarney are both
scarce. Ophelia is plentiful, sells well
and comes in for a good portion of the
unsupplied orders for white. Sunburst
also is plentiful. Eoses cut from young
plants are on the increase and a large
supply of this class of stock is in early
prospect.

Although there still are quite a num-
ber of carnations for this season of the
year, they are mostly of poor quality.
Good stock arriving, however, moves
fairly well.

Valley is a little scarce, due to the
fact that growers are holding pips back
for next season because of the uncer-
tainty of obtaining any more. Orchids
are in supply just sufficient to meet the
demand. There are enough lilies. Some
outdoor sweet peas are arriving and
sell cheaply. Peonies are beginning to
shorten. Gladioli are quite scarce.
There have been fewer gladioli in the
market so far this year than in any
recent summer. Shasta dai-sies are
plentiful, but there are not one-half so
many to be seettr as at this time last
year. Asters ystill are scarce. The de-
mand for thetn is good. An abundance
of gypsophila may be seen. It sells
well. Centaureas also are in good sup-
ply and fairly active demand. Some
outdoor stocks are beginning to come
in. Pond lilies are plentiful and sell
fairly well.

Greens generally are in good supply,
but a slight shortage of smilax was to
be noted last week.

but between October 1 and June 30
probably ninety per cent of tlie cut
flower shipments have gone out after
3 p. m.

The action of the express companies
will mean that customers must get their
orders in earlier, tliat growers must get
tlieir afternoon shipments into the
wholesale houses earlier and that the
wliolesalers must have tlie boxes ready
at 5 p. m. instead of letting things drag
along for an hour or more, as has been
(lone in previous seasons. Either that
or hire a wagon for the late orders,
which will not pay.

The Draft.

The trade suffered a severe attack of
arithmomania last week, when the draft
numbers came out. No large number of
those in business on their own account
were registered, but many had sons on
the lists and of the employees in retail

stores, in wholesale houses and in the
greenhouses fully half are of military
age. The marvel, then, is that so few
of the trade found their numbers among
those to be called for immediate exam-
ination.

The first well known trade name to
appear on the local lists was that of
E. F. Winterson, Jr. His was the one
hundred eighth number drawn. Sidney
Buchbinder held tlie one hundred tenth
number. Each is married.

A. Miller, president of the American
Bulb Co., held the number in the seven
hundred fortieth capsule drawn at
Washington, 343. He has had four
years' training in a military school and
will make no claim to exemption. He
married after registering.

Here is an incomplete list of the em-
ployees of Chicago wholesale florists who
held numbers low enough to bring them
up with the first call for examination:

Grant's Coal Plan.

John Grant, of the Warren Park
Floral Co., Cicero, lost most of his profit
last season because he had no contract
for coal. As prices are just as high
now, or higher, he has been looking
around for a way to protect his profits.
He thinks he has found the way and in-
vites any interested florist to investi-
gate the proposition.

With a friend, he has secured an op-
tion on a coal mine not at present be-

ing worked at Roseville, O., near Colum-
bus. To buy the mine will cost $50,000
and $2."), 000 is needed for working
capital. Tiiere is a million tons of coal
in sight, on tlie surface. The idea is to
organize a cooperative company among
consumers, each stockholder being en-
titled to coal at cost of production, ap-
proximately $1 per ton; freight rate to
Cliicago, $1.55. If the stockholders do
not need it all, the surplus output to be
sold at the market price, fixed at $2.75.
Mr. Grant says the mine can be started
in thirty days.

Florists approached liave been inter-
ested, but have felt themselves so ig-
norant of tlie subject of coal mining
that thoy did not like to touch it. Mr.
Grant wants several to get together

Bohumir E. Velisek, formerly financial

at 3511 West Twenty-sixth street. He
is equipping his store with a Eandall

There are few growers more resource-
ful or more successful than Henry E.
Youngquist, on Foster, avenue. When
he finds a change in the demand he is
quick to get on it and he does not hesi-
tate to plunge. Last season he made a
quick switch from carnations to vege-
tables in a part of his range and cleaned
up a neat profit. A year or two ago he
found a few vincas along the edges of
the carnation benches brought a neat
sum of extra money, so he increased on
vincas until, it is said, this season he
produced 60,000. They did not all sell
and the average price was low, but they
paid him well.

At the J. A. Budlong establishment
Lady Alice Stanley is pointed to as an
especially good summer rose. It is
equally good in winter, but does not
bloom fast enough to suit most growers
who have tried it.

The Market.

The market has been glutted with
all kinds of outdoor stock, which has
sold at low prices. Prices, however,
have little effect on moving the stock
and but a small proportion sells. Heavy
rains have hurt sweet peas and other
outdoor stock and little that reaches the
m.arket is salable.

Gladioli are just coming in and are
showing excellent spikes. Loads of
helianthus and gaillardias are seen.
There is also an abundance of coreopsis,
Japanese irises, bachelor's buttons and
Dorothy Perkins and Crimson Kambler
roses. Most of this stock is of poor
quality. Easter lilies are plentiful.
The cut of outdoor roses is diminishing
and indoor stock is prominent. The
latter moved a little more freely at the
end of last week. Prima Donna is
the favorite, with Ophelia and Sunburst
close seconds. Shasta daisies, candytuft
and sweet williams are plentiful. The
supply of greens is in excess of the de-
mand.

Various Notes.

N. A. Hallauer, of Ontario, was a visi-
tor last week. He is growing some fine
gladioli and expects to cut 100,000
spikes.

C. W. Curtis, of Irondequoit, is in-
stalling a new Lord & Buruham Co.
boiler. This is the third boiler the same
company has installed for Mr. Curtis,
who says all have given satisfaction.
At the local Lord & Burnham Co. office
it is said there liave been many inquiries
concerning the new boiler.

Malcombe White, foreman of the
H. E. Wilson greenliouses, is on a 10-day
automobile trip through the Adiron-
dack mountains. Mr. Wilson has some

PHILADELPHIA.

The Market.

The standard summer flowers are com-
ing in more freely now, so that the last
week in July sees the market better
supplied than the week just ended. As-
ters in all colors and of good quality
are much more plentiful. They came at
a time when carnations had ceased to be
dependable for general use. Gladioli
also are now obtainable in large num-
bers. Many of them are fine; America
is especially so. Roses are rather more
numerous than they were a week ago
and Easter lilies continue abundant.
Business is fully up to the mark for the
season, probably a little ahead of last
July so far. Most of it is made up of
sad orders, with a scattering of gifts
for more joyful occasions, and home or-
ders. The impression given by a trip
around the wholesale cut flower houses is
that there are not enough growers send-
ing in good flowers to make the sales
activity general.

A Handsome Show Boom.

The M. Rice Co. has just completed
its second floor show room. The entire
front of the floor has been partitioned
off to a depth of about one-third of the
building and arranged as a basket show
room. It would be difficult to imagine a
more beautiful and instructive display
than is now arranged here. The baskets
are shown in groups, one of each kind.
There are dark colorings relieved by the
deep greens and browns so pleasing in
the Indian style of basket. Opposite
are the white enamel baskets, glisten-

ing in their purity. Beyond are the white
baskets of pale blue and delicate green.
Further on are the gold baskets, richly
finished. There is a large and interest-
ing exhibit of tumbler baskets in some
fifty different styles. Considerable space
is given to the baskets that are no
longer made in quantity, the odds and
ends, so to speak, of which only a lim-
ited number are available.

A novelty of especial interest is a
tall basket of vase-like form, set in a
broad bowl-shaped basket. The tall vase
is intended for cut flowers, the bowl-
like basket beneath for plants. Both
Mr. Eschner and Mr. Brunswick con-

sider this exhibit the finest thing of its
kind ever arranged. Mr, Eschner says
that most of the baskets are "made in
America" and that they represent the
combined ideas of their business family,
gathered from a close study of the needs
of florists all over the country. He adds
that the success of these baskets is most
gratifying.

arrangements for shipments by freight
of less than carload lots. The railroad
has in the past accepted such freight
at any of its freight stations, at any
time, for any point. It proposes in the
future to accept such freight only at
certain points, on certain days, for cer-
tain points; in other words, to have
sailing days, so to speak, for freight
cars. For instance, a car will be sched-
uled to leave Grays Ferry freight sta-
tion at 3 p. m., August 1, for Pitts-
burgh and the west. That car will be

ready to receive freight for such
points for so many working hours be-
fore that time. Another car will leave
at 5 p. m. for the south, and so on.

The idea is that this plan will have
many advantages. It will save time and
labor in handling and transferring
freight. It will require fewer locomo-
tives and cars to handle a given quan-
tity of freight, and it will avoid con-
fusion. The aid of various trade or-
ganizations is to be invited in work-
ing out the details of the plan. An im-

Cultaral QuestioiL

When J. A. Valentine attended a
Rose Society meeting in Chicago a num-
ber of years ago he surprised the grow-
ers from the middle west and from the
east by telling them that one of the
rose growing problems in Denver was
caused by too much sun. The plants-
made a short growth, flowering too
quickly. Leo Niessen now tells us that
the same cause is assigned by some of
the ablest men in Philadelphia for dis-
carding some members of the Killar-
ney family. The claim, Mr. Niessen
says, is that in certain heavy soils these
varieties flower on too short stems to
compete with those grown in more fa-
vorable soils. They require disbudding
to get stems of equal or nearly equal
lengths to those grown in the lighter
soils. This is surprising, as it would
naturally be supposed; that culture would
overcome the difficulty, but the growers
who have made the assertion rank so
high as to justify its acceptance as

fact. Various Notes.

The selective draft, who are taken and
who are left, is the absorbing topic of
the hour.

Frederick J. Michell returned to busi-
ness July 23, after a three weeks' ab-
sence. Mr. Michell was struck by a
speeding car while walking and pain-
fully injured. One rib was broken and
his foot was severely hurt. Happily,
he is on the highroad to complete re-
covery.

Clarence J. Watson is confident that
the coming season will bring business

The Market.

Toward the end of the last week the
temperature mounted to 86 degrees,
and it seems to be going higher at this
writing. Tliis, of course, is having its
effect on business; there is a marked
degree of ennui in every flower estab-
lishment. There is no surplus stock and
there seems to be enough business to
take up the daily supply.

Roses are fairly good and the sup-
ply is about equal to the demand. The
cut is becoming smaller every day,
but the quality seems to hold up quite
well. Carnations are still to be had in
quantity, but the quality shows the
effect of the hot weather. Sweet peas
are still on tlio market, although the
stems arc short and the blooms only of
medium size. Tliey are selling well,
however, and make up a good part of

the daily sales. Valley remains scarce
and of medium quality. There is more
than an adequate supply of lilies, and
they are not moving at all well. Orchids
are arriving in about sufficient quanti-
ties to meet the demand. Taken as a
whole, business is extremely quiet, but
it compares favorably with that of any
previous summer.

Various Notes.

The C. C. Pollworth Co. reports that
its men are still cutting good roses
and that carnations as yet are in fine
shape. This concern is minus several
employees, who are spending vacations
at various resorts. W. Holliday is at
Lake Fine, while Phil Weil is at Peli-
can lake, trying for a muskellungo
that will weigh more than the one
caught recently by C. C. Pollworth. Mr.
Pollworth 's tipped the scales at thirty-
eight pounds.

^. MacDonald, manager of the Gim-
bel flower department, is featuring
some exceptionally fine grape plants,
which were grown by the Holton &
Hunkel Co. These plants make a
beautiful display.

W. Lubliner furnished a wreath July
17 that was more than six feet in di-
ameter. This gigantic design was made
of galax leaves, with a large cluster of
white roses, Piaster lilies and larkspurs,
tied with a large bow of ribbon. The
piece had to be carried on top of the
delivery car, as it was too large to go
inside.

The Holton & Hunkel Co. has com-
pleted an alteration in its office that af-
fords the workers much needed room.
Albert Hare left on his vacation July
21. He said he did not know where
he was going, but that he was on his
way. We know he will come back with
the details of an extensive auto trip,
however.

It is with regret that we announce
the death July 20 of Frank Voelzke.
Mr. Voelzke was the father of Miss

The Market,

A week of hot, humid weather has put
the cut flower business in a semicoma-
tose condition. Arrivals of flowers are
not at all heavy, as many ijrowers have
ceased sliip])in}i^ until fall. Really good
flowers have no trouble in getting pur-
chasers. Roses are being unfavorably
affected by the heat and their quality is
on the down-grade. Fewer flowers are
arriving, liowever, and prices are fairly
well maintained. Quite a number of
carnations still come in and the quality
for midsummer is good. Asters now are
arriving from several growers and will
soon fill the carnation blank. Sweet
))oas, thanks to the dry weather, are
(if good quality, but the dry weather
affects the length of the stems.

Loiigiflorum lilies still find it hard
sledding and prices are unprofitably
low. Gladioli are not yet plentiful.
Valley is shortening up, but the de-
mand has weakened. Miscellaneous an-
nuals and perennials are seen. Lark-
spurs, sweet sultans, coreopsis and
bachelor's buttons sell Avell.

Various Notes.

At Horticultural hall July 21 William
Anderson, superintendent to ]Vlrs. Bay-
ard Thayer, received a silver medal for
Lilium Thayera^, introduced in 1910 by
Wilson, from China. In liabit it closely
resembles L. Ilenryi. The best si)ike
shown carried twenty-one flowers and
buds. The flowers are smaller than
those of Henryi, recurved, and the petals
are covered with small black spots. The
flowers are of a rich orange color. The
stalks seem slender and graceful, but
are wiry. The foliage is finer than
that of Henryi. This should become a
])oj)u]ar garden lily. W. C. Winter was
first for twenty-four hollyhock blooms;
W. G. Kendall, second. W. N. Craig
was first for twelve spikes of hollyhocks;
W. G. Kendall, second. J. H. S'talford,
of Bar Harbor, showed a lavender col-
ored antirrhinum which is popular in
that summer resort. W. N. Craig had
a display of thirty varieties of hardy
herbaceous perennials, including large
vases of Trachclium ca'ruleum and T.
album.

James Anderson, son of William An-
derson, of the Bayard Thayer estate,
South Lancaster, Mass., was married at
the Unitarian church, Lancaster, July
20, to Miss Miriam Ellen Hawkins. The
church was beautifully decorated with
Lilium regale and delphiniums, which
made a delightful combination. The
bridegroom is a graduate of the Massa-
chusetts Institute of Technology, tak-
ing up sanitary engineering as his spe-
cialty, and is now employed by the J. L.
Mott Iron Works Co., of Boston.

At the Park street store of Henry R.
Comley July 21 I noticed a fine display
of Lilium auratum, speciosum and
Henryi; also a fine batch of gloxinias
and nymphajas.

James Wheeler, of Natick, started
shipping Queen of the Market asters
July 21. He has a batch of 20,000 plants
and they are first-class. Mr. Wheeler
has just purchased a new car.

operative market for William R. Morris,
is spending a vacation in Maine.

W. X. C.

ST, Loxns.

The Market,

Tlie demand for stock is down to the
usual summer level, wholesalers report,
business being good some days and poor
others. Retailers say tliat funeral
work comprises about all the demand at
their stores. However, the season has
been good and no one is complaining.

Roses sliow the effects of the hot
weather and few consignments from
outside arrive in first-class condition.
Local carnations are ])oor, but some
good stock is being sliijtped in. There
is an abundance of gladioli, which have
brought a fair price, but a glut soon
is expected. Sweet peas are about
done.

Other stock arriving consists of as-
ters, cornflowers, calendulas, candy-
tuft and larkspurs. There is little call
for any of them except asters. Valley
continues scarce and Easter lilies clean
up daily. There is a good supply of
greens, with the exception of smilax.

Various Notes,

The Retail Florists' Association held
its regular meeting July 16 at Mission
Inn Garden. It was well attended.
President F. H. Weber says that the
interest the members have taken in the
association recently augurs well for an
increased membership in the fall.

S. E. Cerny is adding a new green-
liouse, 36x100, to his range at Kirk-

season with roses and carnations.

Thomas C. Carr, who has a stand at
the Union depot, says business is ex-
cellent.

The assets of the Kelly Floral Co.
were sold at auction July 19 by order of
the receiver. The stock and fixtures
brought fair prices. Receiver Evans
says that the company had many good
accounts on its books, a number of
which have been collected. He believes
the creditors will get a large proportion
of their claims.

J. J. Windier and Mrs. Windier with a
party of friends spent last week at Hill-
crest, a bathing and fishing resort. Ed-
ward Guntly, in the store with Mr.
Windier, left on his vacation when Mr.
Windier returned.

Guy M. Reburn, of Chicago, spent
last week here, calling on the trade.

he took her away in an automobile they
were fired upon by the rioters. Mrs.
Gorly is now in Kansas City with
friends, recuperating from her exciting
experience. Mr. and Mrs. Vincent
Gorly are at South Haven, Mich., for a
week and, upon their return, Mr. and
Mrs. Frank Gorly expect to make a trip
east and will attend the S. A. F. con-
vention at New York.

Mr. and Mrs. Henry Berning are
planning to take a trip to Colorado.
They will be gone two weeks.

Jules Bourdet, state vice-president of
tlie S. A. F., and J. J. Beneke visited
a number of the growers in St. Louis
county July 22 in the interests of the
S. A. F. and the National Flower Show.
Mr. Bourdet says there will be a big
gain in the membership of the society
in and near St. Louis. He is counting
on an enrollment of 100 new members
from the St. Louis Florists' Club. The
St. Louis delegation to the convention
in New York, August 21 to 23, will go
by way of the Pennsylvania railroad.
An attempt is being made to get Presi-
dent E. C. Kerr, of Houston, Tex., to

Tlic dullest midsummer was broken
last week by a large demand for funeral
work; in fact, last week was the busiest
of July.

Gladioli are taking tlie lead these
days and asters are arriving in fine
shape, the recent rains and warm weath-
er having brought them out in large
numbers. Among roses Russell and
Ophelia take the lead. Eussell is noted
for its fine keeping qualities, one re-
tailer stating that he would not handle
any other pink when Russell is avail-
able. There is a large supply of Easter

lilies and outdoor sweet peas. Some of
the local growers are still picking car-
nations, but the quality is nothing to
brag about.

A new arrival last week was achillea,
which retails at 50 cents per bunch.
This flower resembles stevia and is ad-
mirable for funeral work. Hollyhocks
make striking store decorations and out-
door Japanese irises are especially use-
ful in table decorations. Double pop-
pies also prove to have good decorative
value. A few early dahlias are in
bloom and outdoor roses are markedly
abundant this year. Kubrum lilies are
plentiful; so are asparagus greens.

The carnation plants in the field are
developing rapidly, thanks to the soak-
ing rains. Other field-grown flowers in
the market are cornflowers, cosmos,
Shasta daisies, salpiglossis, gypsophilas
and snapdragons.

Various Notes.

Mr. and Mrs. Edward Lanternier and
Mr. and Mrs. Clem Lanternier have re-
turned from a motor trip to Defiance, O.,
wlioro they were the guests of Christ
Winterich, the cyclamen expert. They
report Mr. Winterich 's stock in excel-
lent condition.

The men at the Veaey greenhouses
are busy replanting roses. They are still
cutting carnations, as well as asters,
l^ruiinor and Tipperary roses. This
firm will plant several houses to vege-
talilos this fall.

Mr. and Mrs. Aaron Sliive motored to
Columbia City and Tri-Lakes for the
week end. They were accomj>anied by
tlieir eliildren.

A. J. Lanternier & Co. are cutting
some extra fine gladioli. Roses and
carnations have met with a good de-
mand in funeral work, of which there
has been an unusually large amount.

The Flick Floral Co. sent out three

Should Florists Cut Down Output?

July 9 I dropped in at the meeting of
the Florists' Club. I did not expect to
find many there or at this season to hear
much business discussed, but in both I
was wrong, as there was a good number
of the boys present and the main ques-
tion of the evening was: "Should flo-
rists grow as much stock as formerly?
In these times of commercial unrest will
there be a demand for their product?"
The subject was discussed at some
length, but was not finished, as it was
the opinion of many that it was a na-
tional question and should be taken up
by the S. A. F. at the New York con-
vention. It was made the order of busi-
ness for the next meeting of the club,
which will be held in August, prior to
the convention, in order that we may
be in a position to present to the con-
vention the opinions of Maryland flo-
rists on this vital question.

This article will be in the hands of
members of the club before that meet-
ing, so I think it might be well to an-
alyze the question thoroughly before
the meeting takes place.

Is there sufficient reason for any flo-
rist to curtail his output? The first
thought that comes to me is that the only
reason for a reduction in production
would be when the public stops using
flowers, and we certainly could not
blame the public much if we are ready
to quit ourselves.

Closed Houses Tie Up Investment.

I would suggest that every florist who
reads this take the copy of The Re-
view for May 24, turn to the last page
and read the advertisement of the
American Greenhouse Mfg. Co. I would
like to liave readers note the line of
argument the company 's advertising
man is using at this time of stress. The
builders are in exactly the same position
as the florists, for if flowers are to be
curtailed there will be no need for new
greenhouses. Yes, I can hear those who
class themselves as conservatives say:
"Oh! biit advertisers have an ax to
grind." I admit they are right, but the
sooner the florists get busy at the grind-
stone the better it will be for them.

There is only one way by which any
florist can curtail his output, and that
is by letting part of his range lie idle.

Can you afford to do this? Figure, for
instance, the cost of the houses you
calculate to cut off from the boiler and
see if you can let this amount of money
lie idle, to say nothing of the wear and
tear on a house that is not being used.
A range of houses is not a thing that
can be shut down till some real or im-
aginary calamity shall have passed.

Let me refer you to the obituary in
The Keview of July 5, page 21; read
how A. L. Pennock, in 1861 — the first
year of the Civil war — founded a flo-
rists' business, and how three years
later, while the war was still in prog-
ress, he opened the store of Pennock
Bros. Ask his sons, who today are at
the top of some lines of the florists'
business, and I am sure they will tell
you that their success dates back to the
time when the pioneer had the courage
to embark in a new enterprise when his
country was in the throes of internal
strife and when flowers did not have the
same hold on the public they have to-
day.

Other Facts That Cheer,

As I listened to men whom I have
watched from childhood, whom I have
seen climb step by step in establishing
their business, often surmounting ob-
stacles that seemed insurmountable, but
who now are ready to throw up their
hands at the future outlook, I realize
as never before the baneful influences

of war. But let us go deeper into this
question and see if we cannot find a
reason why the florists of this country
should take the tip suggested by the ad-
vertisement of the American Green-
house Mfg. Co., and, instead of curtail-
ing production, increase it.

The florists' business has been in-
creasing in volume year by year, thanks
to the florists themselves, who have
been educating the public to the use of
flowers. The people are now accus-
tomed to flowers, and there is only one
thing that will stop the continued use
of them — scarcity of money. Now let
me remind you that the vast loans made
to the Allies, at a good rate of interest,
are all being spent in this country for
foodstuffs, clothing, ammunition, etc.
Consequently we see where the Ameri-
can people reap two profits from these
loans.

Commercially, people of the country
may be divided into two general
classes: Those who live on incomes,
that is, on money invested; those who
are producers, workers, such as the
farmer, the miner, the mechanic and
florist. Now take the first class. I will
admit that tlie moneyed people are the
best customers of the florist, and I real-
ize that they will be hard hit — the in-
come tax, the higher cost of everything,
etc. It is only natural, therefore, that
they should economize, and perhaps
flowers will be one of the things they
will practice economy on.

But there is the producing class. Just
think of the large increase in the ranks
of these; think of the increased labor,
wages, etc. Labor is the basis of all
wealth, and everybody knows that sup-
ply and demand regulate all prices.
Then is it not reasonable to assume that
those who have their labor for sale will
get more for it than ever? Will this
not put more money into circulation,
and counteract any economy that may
be practiced by some of those who have
been regular flower buyers? I firmly be-
lieve that the advertising man quoted
has the right "dope," that conditions,
in realitv, are the florist's opportunity.

Seed Trade News

AMERICAN SEED TRADE ASSOCIATION,
President, F. W. Bolglnno, Washington, D. C. ;
Secretary-Treasurer, C. E. Kendel, Cleveland, O.

11. B. Ruck, of W. E. Marshall & Co.,
New York, died July 21.

Keports from Michigan show that
beans are growing nicely, with weather
conditions favorable. The crop is now
looking good.

Carlos Jensen, representing L.
Daehnfeldt, Odense, Denmark, is making
a trip in the United States, almost the
only European traveler to visit the seed
trade here this year.

Repopts from California indicate that
onion seed has been badly burned, espe-
cially in the river section. Growers have
not as yet thoroughly checked up the
damage, but feel that the crop will be
cut from twenty-five to forty per cent.

According to the U. S. Department of
Agriculture, 138,900 acres of watermelons
were planted this season and 58,650 acres
of cantaloupes, which will give an idea of
what the seed requirements would l)e if it
were not for the home-saved seed tliat is
used.

Articles of incorporation were filed
July 11 with the secretary of state at Des
Moines. la., by the Adams Seed Co., of
Decorah, capitalized at $350,000. Burton
H. Adams is the president of the company
and Walter C. Adams its secretary and
treasurer.

John C. Leonard, of the Leonard Seed
Co., Chicago, who has just returned from
a short trip througli Wisconsin, inspect-
ing the peas grown by the company
around Columbus and Marsliall, reports
the yield probably will not exceed sixty
to seventy-five per cent of a crop, as
nearly as can be estimated at this time.
Canning factories are finished witli the
early pack of Alaskas and will start on
Horsfords and later varieties at once.

Many American seedsmen have had
dealings with J. K. King & Sons, Cogges-
hall, England, and will learn with special
regret of the dcatli of Herbert T. King,
head of the firm, Mr. King and his man-
ager, J. H. Millard, were inspecting seed
crops in Lincolnshire June 13, when a
German airplane dropped bombs on the
station at which they had just alighted.
The first bomb killed Mr. King instantly
and the second wounded his companion.

TiiK seed grower who says peas are
poor in Wisconsin and Michigan appears
to have the weight of evidence on his
side. Although the government report on
canncTs' crops put Wisconsin i)ens at
eighty-four per cent July 1, and the
Michigan crop at eignty-tvvo, the grocery
trade publications are quoting canncrs
as saying the condition in botli states is
much lower, due to excessive rains. In
Xew York state the pea pack now is esti-
mated at from fifty to sixty-five per cent
of last year 's, varying with the locality.

HENRY F. NCHELL CO., sis n»ket a, Philadelphia

The demand for bulbs of Calla 83thi-
opica is not what it was before the God-
frey calla came into favor, but it is likely
to consume all of ^ California's crop of
bulbs.

There is a feeling that some of the lily
bulb importers have oversold, or that they
have booked too much business at low
prices. The market for giganteums in
Yokohama is said to be much stronger
than early in the season.

It is reported that tiie prohibitions of
exports in force in Denmark have been ex-
tended so as to apply to * * all kinds of
seeds, including seed tailings and seed
waste not formerly prohibited. ' ' Until
the full text is to hand, it is difficult to
say exactly what this may mean, but if
the order includes vegetable seeds, it
will be rather a serious matter, as the
American seed trade makes large pur-
chases from Denmark.

Onion sets at Chicago have made a re-
markable growth in the last three or four
weeks. Showers and good rains have
forced growth along until now the tops
are quite heavy and inspections made
about July 20 show some sots beginning
to bottom, and indications in more ad-
vanced fields of tops going down. A week
or ten days of warm, dry weather now
would be just what the sets need to make
nice keeping stock. The crop under such
conditions will undoubtedly bo good. On
the other hand, much more wot weather
would do a good deal of damage, especial-
ly in fields where tops are t^o lieavy, caus-
ing a great deal. of rotting and spoiling
in the field.

STAMP TAX ON PARCELS.

There has como to my attention, as
chairman of the ])ostal laws commit-
tee of the American Seed Trade Associ-
ation, a clause which appears on page 70
of the War Revenue Bill, now before
Congress, which is known as House Res-
olution No. 4280. This clause reads as
follows:

PARCEL POST PACKAGES.

Upon every parcel or parkiiKc transported from
one point in tlie United States to another by par-
cel i)ost, a tax of 1 cent for each 25 cents or
fractional part thereof charged for sucli trans-

portution shall bo paid by tlie consignor. No
sucli parcel or paciiace sliall be transiwrted until
a stamp representing tliis tax siiall liave been
affixed.

I am reliably informed that this
clause will impose a minimum tax of 1
cent on all parcel post packages. This
has been construed by the Postoffice De-
partment as a tax on all catalogues,
booklets and pamphlets that contain
more than twenty-four pages.

You can see that this is a disaster in
so far as any house that mails cata-
logues is concerned, for, notwithstand-
ing the fact that catalogues are third-
class matter, they are handled under
fourth-class mail provisions, except
that they have the rate of two ounces
for 1 cent up to' and including eight
ounces; beyond that weight they are
handled as parcel post, and if this new
opinion of the Postoffice Department be-
comes practice, it seems that every cata-
logue you or I or anyone else sends out
must iiave this war tax stamp affixed
to each bag, envelope or container. If
you are mailing a 1-cent catalogue your
"postage will be increased 100 per cent;
if a 2-cent catalogue, fifty per cent, and
so on.

The worst feature is that it kills all
the advantage of the present permit
system of paying the postage in bulk.
All of us must of necessity rehandle our
catalogue bags twice in order to affix
this stamp.

We believe that this is an unjust tax,
as the government is taxing the means
by which business is created. It also
])recludes the possibility of the distri-
bution of much catalogue matter, which
in turn produces an enormous first-class
mail, money order and parcel post busi-
ness.

It is something that should have the
opposition of every business man and
every line of business. It is a direct
blow to the industry of paper making,
printing, lithographic business, color
printing business, ink business and
many lines that have a bearing on cata-
logue construction, and it certainly will
hit every house that publishes a cata-
logue or' advertising of any kind that
has more than twenty-four pages.

BURPEE'S SWEET PEAS

NEW EARLY OR WINTER-FLOWERINQ SPENCERS

With a keen appreciation of the splendid future of the Sweet Pea, and
particularly of New Early Winter-flowering or Long Season Spencers, we
began crossing the Spencer-flowering Sweet Peas with the Early or Win-
ter-flowering Grandiflora as far back as the summer of 1909. Later we
have been using that magnificent Australian variety, "Yarrawa," to a
great extent in our crosses.

We now otter with the greatest confidence the splendid Novelties listed below.
These are all true, ihoroughly fixed in type and are a «reat improvement on our
various colors.

From Eowirg made under glass in August ihey may be flowered in time for

Thanksgiving. September sowing will produce the
finest of flowers by Christmas. If grown in the open
they flower Feveral weeks ahead of the Standard or
Summer-flowering Spencers, and with proper treat-
->, ment continue to bloom quite as long as that lype.

Nine of these varieties were awarded nineteen
Certificates of Merit by the following:
Pennsylvania Horticultural Society, Philadelphia.
American Sweet Pea Society, San ii'rancisco.
The International Show, New York.

PACIFIC COAST SEED NOTES.

To stimulate interest in better seed
growing, the department of agriculture
of the University of California is pre-
paring to hold a seed show at the farm
at Davis, during the first two weeks of
the semester beginning September 24.
While no awards will be given, all seed
growers of the state are invited to send
samples of their crops, which will he
judged according to merit.

Plans for a seed farm are being pro-
iected by Phil O'Connell and J. E.
Henry, on their Eoberts island ranch,
which they recently purchased from J.
E. Lynch. The place is at Woodsbro,
Cal., and consists of 140 acres. The
Santa Fe tracks are on one side and the
San Joaquin river on the otlier. Ar-
rangements have already been made by
Messrs. O'Connell and Henry with the
Kini])crliu Seed Co., of Santa Clara, to
furnish stock seeds. Sweet peas will
be tried, as well as onions, lettuce,
spinach, etc.

Waldo Rohnert, of Hollister and Gil-
roy, (-'al., has shown his faith in the
San Joatjuin delta section by the pur-
chase of the J. .7. Hickey ranch, in the
New Hope pocket, consisting of 417
acres. He already controls the output
of a large acreage of land in this sec-
tion, as well as a large acreage in Santa
Clara and San B«nito counties. It is Mr.
Rohnert 's intention to use the Hickey
ranch as an experimental farm in de
veloping vegetable seeds. It will be
under the supervision of J. M. Burchell.

The Florists Review

July 26, 1917.

KANSAS CITY, MO.

The Market.

There was a shortage of good stock iu
the market last week. With the excep-
tion of gladioli, lilies and a few Eussoll
roses, all items were of inferior quality.
There were many delphiniums and
phloxes in the market, but they found
little sale. Summer-blooming begonias
are in the market and sell well, es-
pecially for hospital orders. Local
growers expect to begin cutting asters
soon, which will help out the supply.

Business last week was exceptionally
good, there being many calls for funeral
work and many orders for llowers to be
sent to hospitals. Sales of the latter
class have been unusually large this
summer.

Various Notes.

The members of the trade in Kansas
City who were among those drafted for
army service are Ernest Moore, with the
William L. Eock Flower Co.; Howard
Bartlow, of the Alpha Floral Co.; Will-
iam Miller, with Samuel Murray; Fred
Hprst, with Arthur Newell; Oscar Jos-
lin, with W. J. Barnes, and Curtis Hun-
ter, with E. A. Humfeld.

James Payne is moving his establish-
ment to the northeast corner of Forty-
third street and the State Line road.
Mr. Payne already has several houses
erected and ready for the transfer of
stock. When completed the new estab-
lishment will be the same size as the
old one, but more modern.

The William L. Eock Flower Co. had
one of the largest decorations of the
year at the Muehlbach hotel recently.
The large ballroom was latticed over
and huckleberry foliage and gray moss
were used. The floor was made to rep-
resent a large sunken garden, with an
electric fountain in the center.

A. Newell had an especially good
week. He made several large designs
for the funeral of a prominent man,
besides having orders for a number of
baskets to be sent to hospitals.

,The Geo. M. Kellogg Flower & Plant
Co. had several houses damaged by wind
recently. They were torn down and re-
built. The company has rebuilt six
houses this year. Miss Brown, with the
Kellogg company, is in Colorado on her
vacation. Mr. Kidd also is away.

E. A. Humfeld is cutting some gooil
asters. He has just returned from Dal-
las, Tex., and expects to sjicnd the rest
of tlic summer at liis farm in the Ozark
mountains.

Visitors last week were Edgar Hall,
manager of the Hyde Park Floral Co.,
Austin, Tex., and Charles F. Heacock,
manager of Hillyer's Flower Shop, also
of Austin.

Charles Thomas says business lias
been satisfactory during his short ex-
perience in the greenhouse business and
he expects it to be better next season.

ROCK SPRINGS, WYO.

War does not affect business in this
scvtion, except to make it better. Sum-
mer busine.ss so far has been twenty-
live per cent better than last year.

July 9 there had been no rain for a
month, but that does not affect the
country, as almost all gardens and
farms are irrigated. Having had
heavy snows in the mountains, there is
enough water in the ditches daily to
supply all needs.

Eastern tourists furnish considerable
business for the florists. The tourists
come here for fish in the mountain
lakes, which are surrounded by snow.

The temperature reaches 80 or 90
degrees during the day, and goes as
low as 30 and 40 at night. There is
never a month without frost, but it
is not severe enough to hurt vegetation.
Tomatoes, cucumbers and melons are
grown outdoors. S. B. W.

Wichita, Kan.— Charles P. Mueller
has his roses planted and chrysanthe-
mums benched, and is now planting car-
nations. All his stock is in prime con-
dition. Dry weather has caused out-
door stock to suffer.

Vancouver, B. C. — Leo Eckstrand, 821
Tenth avenue, west, who is a grower of
wide experience, has a new seedling rose
which he calls Canadian Beauty and
which he describes as follows: "It is
for all the world like the old American
Beauty, only it appears to be a more
free bloomer and is not troubled by mil-
dew or black spot under the most ad-
verse conditions, which is saying some-
thing." He will give the variety a
thorough test with a view to its dissem-
ination if it makes good.

LOS ANGELES, CAL.

The Market.

The unusually high temperatures,
combined with a humidity seldom
equaled in this section, have not been
conducive to brisk business; bu^t, on
the whole, the week has been fairly
good. The arrival of a few new-crop
carn.-itious has provided better stock
for shipping, and should the weather
become cooler there will be more of
this class of stock. At present it is
snapped up quickly, at higher prices.
Indoor carnations are still poor.

Eoses are of moderate quality only,
the long-stemmed stock having such
small flowers that it is not worth the
money asked. Gladioli have shortened
up considerably. Asters are improving,
and as the flowers come in from the
cooler beach sections they will still
further improve. The large double
African marigolds are fine for large
decorations, and on account of their
lasting qualities they ship well to dis-
tant points. Dahlias are improving in
quality and more of them are being han-
dled. Golden West, Minnie Burgle
and Delice are popular varieties, but
several of the newer ones are running
them hard. Funeral work has first call
for stock, but there have been a few
good decorations, wedding and other-
wise, that have helped out consider-
ably.

Various Notes.

Oscar Johanssen, of the Johansson
Seed Co., says that although the heat
did some damage to his stands of flower
seed, there is still a good crop. The
soil at El Monte, wliere the principal
flower seed crops are grown, is natural-
ly subirrigated and, under the sur-
face cultivation practiced, forms a good
dust mulch that retains the moisture.
Mrs. Johansson is greatly improved in
health, but will probably not take in
her eastern trip this year. (Jscai- has
purchased a new automobile, his fre-
quent trips north over the rougli moun-
tain grades to Ran Luis Obispo and the
continued running to and fro locallv
having been hard on the old machine.

Charles Lewis lias again «one into tlie
movies, having another appointment
with a local studio. This time he says
he has left the flower business for good.

As an incentive to keep up the good
work done during the last season, and
in token of the firm's appreciation, the
Germain Seed & Plant Co. has distrib-
uted bonuses among its employees
amounting to about $5,000. The season.

of course, has been an extraordinary
one, but the liberal spirit in which the
firm has met its employees shows that
those in authority have a keen sense of
the value of good service rendered, and
it is a healthy sign of progress. It is
said, too, that both M. L. Germain and
M. Meyberg are buying new automo-
biles, another good sign. J. Marks, man-
ager of the fertilizer and insecticide de-
partment, is starting on a business trip
to the east. New York being included in
the itinerary. Messrs. Germain and
Meyberg are also going on an eastern
trip.

Several finely decorated automobiles
were seen in the parade for the Belgian
mission July 14. Although most of the
work was done gratuitously, a good
many flowers were purchased.

Albert Beverley, of the Mission Oak
Nursery, Santa Barbara, made a flying
trip to the city this week, driving down
in his machine. He says that the heat
did considerable damage to his stock,
but that it is coming out all right now.

Fred Sperry has returned from a
northern automobile trip as far as Santa
Cruz and other points, where he looked
over the bulbous plants and other stock.

O. C. Saake reports business a little
slow, but, as he says, he expects it at
this time of the year. The store win-
dow, in fact, the whole store, is beauti-
fully kept and some excellent stock is
shown.

Wright's Flower Shop had the deco-
rations at the Belgian banquet at the
Alexandria. A large number of French
baskets, filled with hydrangeas and
draped with English ivy, were suspend-
ed from the ceiling. The tables were
decorated- with Los Angeles roses. It
was a most tasteful decoration and the
ivy, the emblem of the Belgian troops,
proved to be popular. Thomas Wright

says that several of the staff are away
on vacations, but that there is plenty
of business to keep those remaining
closely on the job.

O. M. Morris, of the Morris & Snow
Seed Co., and his son have returned
from their trip to Bear valley. They re-
ported the weather rather warmer than
usual at that altitude, but the fishing
was good.

The California Cut Flower Co. re-
ports business good for this season. J
Kolleri says they are getting good re-
sults on long-distance shipments of the
African Giant marigold.

S. Murata & Co. report better ship-
ping business during the week, the new-
crop carnations, asters and Lilium ru-
brum shipping satisfactorily.

H. L. Freeman continues the June
window displays that have been a good
feature all season.

John Fincken reports business good
for the season. He is developing a good
trade in landscape gardening and per-
petual care of private places, besides
which, his location close to one of the
larger cemeteries is good for funeral
work.

The H. N. Gage Co. is sending in ex-
cellent gladioli from the new El Monte
growing grounds. The difference in the
quality of these flowers and those from
the older growing grounds seems to
prove that H. N. was correct in his esti-
mate of the soil at El Monte for growing
bulbous stock. The new dwarf, or
"pompon," zinnias are also showy and
attractive. H. R. Richards.

Otherwise business was quiet, although
only seasonably slack. The market af-
fords a wonderful variety of outdoor
flowers at this time of the year. Zin-
nias head the list at present, both as re-
gards quantity and quality. Some of
the florists are inclined to think the
asking price for this flower a little too
high, but even so a great many of them
find an outlet. Gladioli maintain their
popularity well. Dahlias are becom-
ing plentiful, the best sellers being
Delice, Minnie Burgle and Mrs. Kettel-
well. The flowers are particularly fine
this year. Delice shows wonderful
color. Minnie Burgle is being used
extensively for striking display work,
its large, red flowers and long stems
making it especially desirable for the
purpose. Quite a number of double
scabiosas are still coming in, and gail-
lardias are plentiful. Hydrangeas are
showing up well and tlie demand is all
that could be desired.

There are enough roses for nearly all
requirements, but more really select
stock could be utilized to good advan-
tage. Good American Beauties, Kus-
sell and Ophelia are scarce. There are
few orchids to be had; in fact, orchids
have been on the short side of tlie mar-
ket most of the time since last fall.
Gardenias fill the gap to a certain ex-
tent. A few asters are arriving, but
it will be about two weeks before the
offerings are hard enough to sliip. Car-
nations are not up to the standard, and
sweet j)cas are deteriorating in quality.
Auratum lilies are fine and rubrums are
becoming more plentiful.

Various Notes.

There was a fair attendance .at the
monthly meeting of the Pacific Coast
Horticultural Society, particularly in
view of the fact that now is the height
of the vacation season. In the absence
of President M. Poss, H. Plath presided.
The picnic committee reported every-
thing in readiness for the annual out-
ing, which will be held August 12. A
resolution was adopted asking the re-
tailers to close up their stores on that
day, in order that both employees and
firm members could participate in the
outing. The 1918 flower show commit-
tee reported progress in its plans. It
was decided to hold a smoker at the

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 pr ces. Was awarded a Cer-
tificate of Merit at the Pasadena Flower Show.

Stock is limited; send in your orders as soon as possible. Is offered in two shades of

The Market.

Business conditions last week were
good for this season of the year. Fu-
neral work, weddings and a few parties
in honor of the summer debutantes
helped to enliven business, though the
quantity of garden flowers had its ef-
fect on the cut flower and corsage or-
ders.

Tourists have commenced to arrive in
large numbers from eastern points, and
the flower stores with their large stocks
make a good bid for business.

Various Notes.

Many complaints are being heard
from north-end residents about the ef-
fects of the sulphur fumes from the

In some cases even the leaves of shade
trees are dropping.

always seems to be doing something
new and on a big scale. His latest
venture is in the dairj'ing business at
Eureka.

Mr. Ward, because of tlic high cost
of manure, decided to produce fertilizer
for his needs upon the place. But, in-
stead of buying common cattle, he has
gathered a herd of prize-winning milk
and butter producers and expects not
only to produce manure, but to make
money out of the manure j)roducers.

The herd consists of forty-eight head,
twenty-one of which are of the famous

The Maryland Agricultural Experiment
Station, at College Park, has issued a
bulletin entitled "Fumigation of Green-
bouses," by E. N. Cory. It deals only
with the use of hydrocyanic acid gas.

WANTS WHOLESALERS TO HELP.

[Following are extracts from an address by
M. U. Cashnian, of Owatonna, Minn., delivered
at the IMiiladelpliia convention of the American
Association of Nurserymen.]

The development of tlie nursery busi-
ness in the United States during the last
forty years has been so rapid that we
scarcely realize the wonderful growth
that has taken place in so short a time.
Horticulture in itself is an intense
study, requiring close attention and pa-
tient labor to produce successful re-
sults. The nursery fraternities have
been so deeply engaged in the solution
of the big problem of supplying stock to
take care of the planters' needs and
the dealers' requirements, that insuf-
ficient attention has been given to the
development of a commercial organiza-
tion to handle the distribution of their
products.

We find no cause to criticize the prog-
ress made in the development of the
growing end, or, rather, the propagating
division, of the nursery business, but I
regret to state that I cannot find any
such degree of advancement in the com-
mercial field of tlie nurserymen 's i)rod-
uct. It is true, of course, that many
concerns have perfected and at the pres-
ent time are operating most successful
systems in disposing of their products,
but upon investigation we find that the
practices and business tactics of these
various concerns are much at variance,
and it would be difficult to amalgamate
two or more of them into one successful
commercial system. When we enumer-
ate the few successful concerns engaged
in the nursery business in the United
States, we find that they are scattered
over a broad territory, and the condi-
tions surrounding each individual con-
cern are much different from those ex-
pierienced by any of the others.

Retailer's Usually a Hard Life?

Thus we find a few, and only a few,
really successful nurserymen in the
country. The remainder are struggling
for an existence, operating under self-
made plans.

The small nurseryman must be a
farmer, an expert proi)agator, a fruit
grower, a labor foreman, a soil special-
ist, a bookkeeper, a stenographer, a
salesman, a financier, and, besides all
these, he must be a general adviser for
his community in tree doctoring, tree
pruning, spraying, handling and pack-
ing fruit. If he is a failure in any one

of these vocations, he is not considered
a thoroujifh nurseryman. He battles
away, trying to perform all of the func-
tions connected with his calling. He
thinks he is getting along fairly well,
until June 1 comes, when he finds he has
not made enough money during the en-
tire year to pay his bills. He decides
that there is something wrong, and, as
most men of his class are liable to do,
he makes up his mind that lie is not
working hard enough, so instead of
working twelve hours a day he begins
to i)ut in fifteen. He does not have time
to look about him and find out what the
other fellow is doing; he does not at-
tend any conventions or belong to any
associations; in fact, he does nothing
towards organizing and perfecting the
commercial end of his business, and thus
he puts in his life, struggling away for
a bare existence. But it is safe to say

grower, and while I am willing to ac-
knowledge that those of the retail divi-
sion of the business have been exceed-
ingly careless and unbusiness-like in the
exercise of their affairs, I cannot but
feel that the greater part of. the blame
in this trouble sliould ])e placed directly
at the door of the so-called wholesaler.
Undoubtedly this statement will bring
forth a storm of indignation from the
wholesalers. They will tell us that they
have conducted tlieir business in an
honest and upright manner, furnished
the retailers with stock at lowest pos-
sible prices, given them credit until
their deliveries liad l)een made, and
otherwise extended courtesies.

Now, we are not denying any of these
claims; in fact, we are ready to ac-
knowledge tlie many courtesies extend-
ed to us by the reliable wholesalers;
but what has the wholesaler failed to
do that lie might have done! Has he
done anything to protect the retailer in
the field of trade; has he given him any
encouragement in enlarging his business
and directing the way to more extensive
markets; has he done anything toward
unifying and extending the hundreds
of selling organizations maintained at
big ex[)ense by the nurserymen througli-
out tliis country; has the wliolesaler
taken the lead in encouraging the sale
of the most successful varieties; has he
launched any campaign toward the elim-
ination of suicidal methods and ])erni-
cious practices that- have proved a
boomerang and a paralyzing factor to
the trade; has he undertaken to discour-
age tlie grot\'ing of worthless varieties
that are so often substituted for valu-
able sorts because of their ease of prop-
agation?

These are just a few of the pertinent
queries that the retailer directs at the
wholesaler at this time. We cannot say
that any effort whatever has been made
up to this time toward the carrying out
of a single one of these preeminent
questions. Is it any wonder that there
is a strained relationship existing be-
tween the retailer and the wholesaler?

I would suggest to the wholesalers a
program that, in my opinion, would
eventually eliminate many of the crit-
icisms offered by the retailers. I un-
derstand that the wholesalers have an
organization maintained principally to
determine who of the retailers are
worthy of credit and who are not. I do
not know that this association has for
its purpose any other object. Now, why
could not this wholesale organization
establish a bureau employing a compe-
tent man, with proper assistance, whose
duty it would be to gather statistics
and compile aggregates of all the mar-
ketable and available nursery stock be-
ing grown throughout the country? This
bureau could be made a veritable bu-
reau of information, a business aid to
the rctail"ers. It would help the smaller
man immeasurablv.

Now for Business

July and August are SNAPDRAGON months. If fall
blooms are wanted, plants must be benched during these
months. Likewise, seed must be -sown now if plants are
wanted to follow mums. So get busy and have a

HOUSE OF SNAPDRAGON

You are sure of more money to the square foot by using
snapdragon than from any plant you can grow. They are easy
to do, easy to sell and a pleasure from start to finish.

Fine plants, for immediate shipment, of Silver Pink, $6.00 per
100; $50.00 per 1000.

Seed of our famous Silver Pink, $1.00 per pkt.; 3 for $2.50;
7 for $5.00. Seed of Nelrose, White, Yellow, Garnet, Light Pink
and Fancy Mixed, 35c per pkt.; 3 for $1.00. Free cultural direc-
tions. All orders cash.

To the hustling florist there is great hope. Get busy.

The Market.

. Hot weatlier has had an effect upon
the keeping qualities of stock, but
' there has been no oversupply for the
steady demand in anythinjj but lilies,
carnations and candytuft. The demand
is for the higher-grade roses and sum-
mer flowers, such as daisies, lavender
candytuft, statice and gladioli. Ameri-
can Beauty and Eussell roses have
shortened both in quantity and quality.
A few dahlias have reached the market.

Various Notes.

Joseph Streit has been receiving a
fine lot of Boston ferns.

The L. Bemb Floral Co. has a summer
window display consisting of a minia-
ture pond, with a rustic bridge. At the
back are large rubber plants, with birds
perched on them.

Robert Rahaley, of the Michigan Cut
Flower Exchange, is the proud father
of twin boys born July 20. Mr. Rahaley
had just extended congratulations to
Robert Scott, of Corfu, S', Y., over the
advent of a girl at the Scott home,
when the twins arrived. Now the con-
gratulations are mutual.

John Beecher, of the Ferry Flower
Shop, was married July 18.

E. A. Fetters, Robert Rahaley and
Albert Pochelon returned last week
from a motor trip to northern Michigan.

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.

HARD OR SOFT COAL?

Will you kindly advise me as to
which is the more economical coal for
me to burn, egg or soft? I have 6,000
feet of glass and have two boilers which
were intended for hard coal, but since
the coal strike a few years ago I have
burned soft coal, using forty-five to
fifty tons each vear.

.T. R. P.— X. H.

Of course the relative economy of us-
ing hard or soft coal will depend on the
comparative cost of the two kinds of
fuel, and also on their analyses. With-
out knowing wliat the coal would cost
or the fuel value of the two classes re-
ferred to, we cannot state positively
which would be the cheaper, but a good
grade of soft coal will furnish as many
thermal units as ordinary hard coal, and
for a range of tlie size mentioned we
believe tiiat it would be found cheaper
in the long run to use soft coal rather
than hard, at points where the hard coal
is more tliaii fifty ]>er cent higher-priced
than soft coal.

WILL INSTALL A NEW BOILER.

Will you ])lease have your heating
eipcrt advise us regarding tlic boiler
and ])ii)ing for our three greenhouses?
The largest house, as you will see by the
enclosed sketch, is 45x125, seven feet
high to the eaves and nineteen feet high
to the ridge. South of it is another
house, 10x1 3."), with a 4-foot outside
wall and witli no j>artitiou between it
and the main house. North of the main
house, and separated from it by a par-
tition, is a ])ropagating house, 10x135.

Regarding the Kroeschell, it is the best

are made of the best quality of steel, strongly riveted and calked, with no cast-iron
sections to crack. Our catalogue is yours for the asking. It tells all about our
heaters, shows their economy and gives a plan for heating a model greenhouse.

S. WILKS MFG. CO., 3523 Shields Ave., CHICAGO, ILL.

Menrloii The KpvIpw when yoii wiiTe.

At the east end of the main liouse, and
extending it to the same length as the
narrow houses, is the boiler room, 10x45.

At present we are heating the houses
with an upright tubular boiler, which is
rated at twenty horsepower and has a
30-inch grate. We are using soft coal
as fuel and are carrying a steam pres-
sure of eighty pounds on the boiler and
twenty pounds on the pil)es, using the
Morehead traj) system. Tlie piping, as
now arranged, consists of one H-ineh
flow running the length of the large
house, under the ridge, and returning
through IVt-inch pipes at the sides of
the benches. There are four returns in
each of the narrow houses, and fourteen
in the main house. The principal crop
is carnations and the temperature
wanted is 50 degrees.

Will a Xo. 311 Furman sectional cast-
iron boiler heat the houses to the tem-
perature desired, if we sink the boiler
in a pit and use a low-])ressure gravity
system f The grate of this boiler is
30x55 inches; length of boiler, eight and
one-half feet; width, four feet two
inches; number of sections, eleven;
diameter of stack, sixteen inches. Will
a 3-inch flow pipe be large enough ? The
boiler is tapj)ed for a 4-inch pipe. Will
smokeless soft coal be satisfactory or
should hard coal be used ?

H. & W.— X. Y.

While we have used Furman hot
water heaters and one of the smaller
sizes of Furman steam boilers, we have
never used the size referred to and can-
not speak of its capacity from personal
experience. However, judging from the
area of the grate, there should be no
difficulty in heating the houses de-
scribed with this l)oiler, using low-
pressure steam.

It would be ])refera})le to use a 4-inch
main to suj)j>ly the steam for the three
houses, although a 3-inch flow would
answer for the main house, while a
2-inch flow i)ipe could be used in each
of the narrow houses. We would not
suggest any change in the jiijiing of the
houses, except that if a 2-inch flow pipe
is used in the narrow houses, only three
returns will be needed. By using a
boiler adapted for burning soft coal,

George Penek, 667 Broad street, had
a window display that attracted much
attention. A pool with water lilies and
a branch of a magnolia tree with the
wliite blooms were the features. The
branch was taken from a tree 250 years
old, it was declared.

Henry Hornecker, Central avenue

finished benching his fall and winter

The IVIarket.

Business is fair for July. Tlie sup-
ply of stock is ample and the demand
fair and steady. The shipping business
in greens is heavy. Roses are in good
supply; that is, there are more tlian
enough for the present needs. The re-
ceipts of choice stock in this line are
somewhat limited. Carnations are about
at an end for the season and the coming
week should see the last of them. Both
the Easter and rubrum lilies are plen-
tiful. Hardy hydrangeas are arriving
in fairly large quantities. Aster receipts
are about equal to the present demands.
Gladioli liave become quite plentiful.
Among other offerings are snapdragons
and larkspurs.

Greens are in good supply. New
ferns, leucothoe and green galax meet
with a large demand from out of town.

Various Notes.

The Rosebank Co. has been shipping
large quantities of smilax to C. E. Crit-
chell. The stock lias been exceptionally
good.

The Cincinnati Cut Flower Exchange
has been receiving large lots of rubrum
lilies, which have sold well.

npHE original Album of Designs was published in response to many ircquests from florists who felt the need for
^ an up-to-date book that could be used in taking orders for Funeral Designs, Wedding Decorations and Bouquets,
Table Decorations and all cut flower work where it was not practicable to show the customer the finished article as
it would be when ready for use. With the publication of this album it became possible to show the finished work
in beautifully printed pictures. The first edition sold like hot cakes, a second and third edition went quickly. Now
a fourth edition is off the press. Everything is in it— all the standard designs and many new pieces.

96 pages, nearly 300 designs and decorations, beautifully printed on
heavy art paper, handsomely bound in a cover that will stand wear

and kept chilled until the customer receives them, together
with prices no higher than others charge, make our stock
a very attractive proposition for the summer demand.

The Beautiful Transformation of an Ugly

Skyline Effect

The principal flaw in the top photo-
graph is the unsightly effect produced by
dead branches. Edged against the sky is
a ragged, monotonous outline in which
there is a minimum of grace, symmetry
and beauty.

Now note the lower photograph — ob-
serve what a wonderful transformation
has been effected by Davey Tree Sur-
geons!

All ugly, dead branches have been re-
moved, and artistic grouping has been
achieved by the elimination of certain
unimportant trees and bushes. What re-
freshing variety of outline is now pre-
sented, what charm lies in its perfect
simplicity!

Possibly your estate offers similar op-
portunities for enhanced beauty — per-
haps a little judicious artistry can bring
out "hidden wonders" of which you are
now unconscious.

BUT — be careful to whom you entrust
this important work. Trimming and cut-
ting, incorrectly done, is dangerous.
Thousands of trees are lost every year
because their owners do not realize the
degree of highly expert knowledge and
experience this work requires. More
than half the decay in trees is directly
traceable to improper trimming.

Take tlie safe course^

— and put your trees in the hands of
Davey Tree Surgeons. Tree Surgery, as
they practice it, is scientifically accurate

and mechanically perfect — the result of
the life study of John Davey, "The Fa-
ther of Tree Surgery," augmented and
refined by the massed experience of the
greatest body of expert tree men the
world has ever known.

Davey Tree Surgeons are the only Tree
Surgeons offlcially endorsed by the Unit-
ed States Government. They have treated
and saved the priceless trees at the Na-
tional Capitol, White House, Naval Ob-
servatory, Fort Meyer, Charleston (S. C.)
Navy Yard, Annapolis Naval Academy,
West Point Military Academy, etc.

They are the only Tree Surgeons en-
dorsed by thousands of estate owners —
prominent men and women whose recom-
mendations you can accept with complete
confidence. And they are the only Tree
Surgeons who are backed by a successful
and responsible house, amply able to
make good in every instance, and not
needing, for the sake of temporary exist-
ence, to sacrifice in the slightest degree
its high standards.

FOR SAFE TREE SURGERY

Every real Davey Tree Snrgreon is in tlie employ of the Davoy Tree Kxpert Company and
the public is cautioned axrainst those falsely rei>r«'s«>ntinK: themselves.

From Mr. Lislo R. Beardslee.

WilmiiiKton, Del.

"The work done h.v your
oompan.v u))on an old tree
In my yard is very satisfac-
tory and a remarkable dem-
onstration of what can be ac-
complished by the scientific
methods followed by your
concern."

From Mr. Arthur Heurtley,
The Northern Trust Co.,

Chicago, 111.
"The work done on my
trees by your foreman and
his associates has been verv
satisfactory, so much so that
we have been at considerable
jiains to canvass the neighbor-
hood so as to give the boys
some extra work while in the
vicinity."

From Mr. Wm. R. Kenan, Jr.,

I^)ckport, N. Y.

"Some twelve or fourteen
.rears ago while visiting at my
sister's summer home at Mam-
aroneck, N. Y., I saw your
father with a very large corps
doing tree surgery on that
place. It Impressed me so
forcibly and, in later years,
the results were so convinc-
ing that, upon the purchase
of this place, I concluded to
liave your company do such
work as was necessary hero.
The work has been entirely
satisfactory."

TEACHING PEOPLE ^

TO USE THE R T. D.

Every retail florist is supposed to know the workings of what the trade calls
the F. T. D. service, but there are thousands of flower buyers who have not got the
idea. A summer window display showing how the public may send "flowers by
wire" will help in our campaign of education.

i

/"m

^'*J] B a

Snns^iiiniS

HAT the so-called tele-
graph delivery service is
not bringing so much busi-
ness to the trade as it
might is due in a great
measure to tlie haziness
that exists in the minds of
the buying public about
the workings of that serv-
ice. "Send flowers by
wire," urges the florist in liis advertis-
ing, or ' ' We are members of the F. T. wire.
D." is a line across his show window.
The ordinary person is familiar with the
meaning of "C, O. D." or "P. D. Q.,"
but "P. T. D. " is an enigma, and not so
interesting that the casual observer
tries to solve it.

During a storm which prevents him
from following his occupation, the fish-
erman mends his nets; the farmer does
those things which are necessary, but
not pressing. During the off-season
business calm the florist should be get-
ting ready for the storm of business
that is sure to come. But he should
not stop at being prepared for that
which walks into his store; he should
stimulate it; impel it to his place of
business.

There is a rich mine
of virgin business in
the P. T. D. service
that only needs the
business machinery
called advertising to
make it one of the
great sources of sales
for the retailer. Fa-
miliarize the public
with the idea to such
an extent that the
news of a death or an
illness, or an invita-
tion to a wedding of a
relative or friend in a
distant city, will in-
stantlv bring vividly
to his "mind the F. T. D.

The Impression.

He will not think of
the letters, but he will
think of what he can
do by merely stopping
in at the flower store
where he usually
makes his purchases.
He can — so runs his
thought — give an or-
der to his florist and,
presto! flowers will be
at the funeral, or sick-
bed, or wedding of the
distant one.

There are many forces that are con-
stantly working to increase the flower
business called telegraph delivery. The
officers of the P. T. D, Association itself,
and imost of the members, are constantly
advertising it; the S. A. P. has done its
bit during the year by contributing
$1,000 to the publicity fund of the as-
sociation. These forces are having their
effect and each year shows an increase
in the number of flowers "sent by

Every Little Bit Helps.

. Florists everywhere, non-members as
well as members, are profiting by this
increase in the use^^f the system by the
public. They will continue to profit in
just such an increased measure as they
give to tlie propaganda of the associa-
tion.

What each does may not be much, but
every little bit added to hundreds of
other "little bits" makes a sum total
that is a miglity force toward increasing
telegra])h delivery business.

The florists' business is going to be
good this fall; better, even, than most
of those in the trade expect. This as-

Pretty Summer Window, but it Does Not Tell the F. T. D. Story.

sertion is based on authentic reports of
the condition of business during the
summer months, which have been as
good as, or better than, the same months
of previous years. But while trade is
dull let us not only be mending the nets
and the harness, but also doing our
share toward increasing the calls for
telegraph delivery service.

One of the most efficient ways in which
this can be done is to devote our dis-
])lay windows to advertising this serv-
ice during the summer dull season. Such
a display does not cost much in money,
but may be as cheap or as expensive in
time and thought as the florist wants to
make it. But whatever he does will be
a help and, as has been said before,
every little bit heli)S.

Time and again The Keview has
called the attention of florists to this
subject and the call has been generally
heeded. Florists everywhere have put
in telegraph delivery windows, both
simple and elaborate. Those who have
iiad such windows one year have come
))ack with a better one the next. Study
of how to tell the story to the public
by visualizing it has brought the result
that each successive
window has had more
"punch" and has been
more effective.

A Common Mistake.

Illustrating this ar-
ticle are reproductions
of photographs of win-
dows used to advertise
a n d familiarize the
public with the F.T.D.
service. It will readily
])e seen that these win-
dows were not the re-
sult of a moment's or
an hour's thought or
work. How much they
cost in money depends
upon the ability of
their makers to do
much with little, for
they certainly did not
do little with much.
Tlie accessories with
which they had to
work are here xitilized
in a most effective
way.

Members of the trade
are so familiar with the
F. T. D. and its work-
ings that they some-
times lose sight of the
fact that the public
needs to be educated

Pretty Summer Window, but it Does Not Tell the F. T. D. Story.

along the lines the first-grade school
teacher educates the child just begin-
ning to acquire his education. Simple
methods, methods that will impart the
idea and teach it from the ground up,
must be used. The more announcement
that the florists of the country have
such a service does not get the effect
necessary; the window setting must
tell the whole story in such a way that
the onlooker will be impressed with the
fact that he can order flowers in that
store and a few hours later they will be
delivered in a distant city.

There is where the ingenuity of the
window dresser comes into play. He
must make his window attractive and
at the same time instructive. A de-
tailed description of the service pn a
card would tell the story, but the
chances Q,re that few, if any, persons
would fii%> and rQ^d it carefully; the
card is good, but there must be a dis-
play that will challenge and hold the
interest of the person on the street to""
such an extent that he will learn ex-
actly what it is all about.

Do not Forget Flowers.

One criticism that has been made of
many windows is that they convey the
telegraph idea at the expense of the
fact that the telegraph is mecely used
as a means to have flowers delivered in
other cities. The flowers themselves
have bqen neglected. No person is
going to order flowers delivered in an-
other city unless he deems flowers the
gift he wants to make. And people who
buy flowers for others are people who
buy flowers for themselves, as it is only
natural that we should believe that the
things we like and are a treat to us will
be the same to others.

Do not forget in making up the tele-
graph delivery window that flowers are
the things to be sold and that the tele-
graph delivery is the means to that end.
Stock that will answer the purpose of
conveying this idea is cheap at this sea-

son of the year and will add greatly to
the effectiveness of the window.

The thing that it is most desired to im-
press on the florists, however, is that it
is good business to help advertise the
Florists' Telegraph Delivery. Creating
a window display is a real pleasure, just
as any creative work is. It will add
business and will give each florist who
puts in a display the satisfaction of
knowing that he has helped others just
as others in the trade are helping him.
And when Christmas, or Easter, or
Mothers' day comes around there will
be the results that are most appreciat-
ed— money in the cash register.

FAIR BOOTH OR WINDOW.

The F. T. D. idea is one that can be
exploited at state and county fairs,

using about the same style of display
one would use in a show window. The
illustration on page 13 shows such a
booth arranged by Kemble & Goodman
at the Iowa state fair last year. The
booth was divided into two sections, one
representing a telegraph office at Bed
Eye, Mont., and the other a veranda of
a Mason City home. The story the
booth is intended to tell is that of the
son of the family in far Montana
who, not having time to write to his
dear old mother, decides to send her
flowers. He wires Kemble & Goodman
to send the desired love token to his
mother. The flowers were shown to
have arrived in a perfect condition. Of
course, this does not tell quite the whole
story, as it should bring in the florist at
the sending point.

RETAILERS' CREDIT.

It is a fact that a goodly number of
retail florists are absolutely unreliable
and never intend to pay a bill they con-
tract.

Why cannot all the good, reliable re-
tail florists help weed out this detri-
mental element in our profession?

Do not sav, "It can't be done," but
help to knock the "t" out of the can't.
There is one way it can be accomplished
and bring results quickly, and that one
way is nothing more than sincere and
earnest cooperation with the secretary

Not so Pretty, Perhaps, but this Window Tells the Story.

_ Delivery.
Hundreds of "jiast-due ,,
have come through the F. T. D. clearing
house, sent in by members, and right
today we could get up a list of retail-
ers around the country who are well
known and prominent florists, but who
never pay their bills in time, and some
bills they do not intend to pay at
all. Over the period of the last twelve
months I have come across bills of a
few retailers almost daily, and these
bills were from F. T. D. members from
every part of the United States and
Canada. Some retailers I know who
have owed bills to at least fifty F. T. D.
members, in fifty different localities,
and have owed them for a long time,
and only by threatening them that all
our membership would be notified and
warned not to fill any more orders for
them, have we been able to get them
to pay their bills.

Our F. T. D. members are advised not
to fill orders for every retailer around
the country, unless such retailers have
established a credit with them, or they
are F. T. D. members, as this member-
ship, through its guarantee fund, which
is now over $7,000, has established a
credit for every member and is, also,
advising every member to pay the bills
promptly to all retail florists who are
not members of the F. T. D., in order to
build up a strong reputation for the
entire membership.

The poor-paying or non-paying retail
florists can only be eliminated by co-
operating with the secretary of the F.
T. D. Send itemized bills to the F. T. D.
clearing house of all accounts you have
against other retailers, so they may be
recorded in this office; the parties owing
will be corresponded with.

Why it is absolutely necessary to sift
out the men that send out telegraph
orders for others to fill, without any in-
tention of ever paying for same:

A number of good retailers have been
stung a great deal of late and are get-
ting to a point where they do not even
care to fill orders for any one, good or

bad, which is bringing on some em-
barrassing conditions, as the F. T. D.
members are constantly advertising the
fact to their patrons that they can make
deliveries anywhere. For once and all
the time, do not put the F. T. D. mem-
bers, or at least a majority of them, on
the same scale as you would some re-
tailer who has owed you a bill for a long
time, as this is absolutely against tlie
F. T. D. Association's by-laws and con-
stitution, and if any F. T. D. members
ow^^ou money long past duo, do not
hesitate to send an itemized bill to the
F. T. D. secretary, who will at once do
his best to censure any such members.
Every F. T. D. member must do his best
to set an example, and is compelled to
do so, in order to hold his membership.

All these things must be put on more
of a business basis and it can be done
only by cooperation. Why do people pay
their gas, electric and water bills and
taxes promptly? Because they lose the
discount if they do not. Why not
let the florists who do not promptly pay
their bills for transfer orders lose the
•discount? This would soon cure a good
many slow payers.

It is up to the retail florists to make
a better and more efficient retail flo-
rists' trade and make our profession be
looked upon by the public from a dif-
ferent angle than it has been for a good
many years.

Let the retail florists of today be
flfty per cent merchant and fifty per
cent floral artist, and I am sure that in
many cases there is not fifteen per cent
mercantile ability installed in some re-
tail flower shops.

My six years' experience in constant
touch with retailers throughout the en-
tire country, both F. T. D. members and
non-members, has given me the great-
est and most interesting study I have
ever had in my life, and with it a great
deal of enjoyment, in this work for a

better and more efficient retail florists'
trade.

SUNDAY FUNERALS AND CLOSING.

The movement on behalf of Sunday
closing of flower stores has received a
marked impetus this summer, as witness
the action in this direction of florists of
New York, Buffalo and other cities, who
seemingly have been more or less unan-
imously in favor of the seventh day us
a day of rest. The ever-present impedi-
ment of the Sunday close-down, however,
remains; that is, Sunday funerals.

Of all the days of the week, Sunday
is the most favored as the day of inter-
ment. Remains are frequently held
over the usual 3-day period for the sake
of a Sunday burial, the dead of one,
two, three, four and even five days thus
coming up for interment on the Sab-
bath. Obviously, many Sunday funer-
als, particularly if some of tliem are of
good size, require the attention of the
florist or some of his men — Sunday clos-
ing in many cases has become a close-
down in name only.

It is with more than ordinary inter-
est, therefore, that one notes the
method by which the florists of Sedalia,
Mo., discouraged tlie people from hold-
ing Sunday funerals. Determined to
have their Sundays free from labor, the
Missourians interested the town's min-
isterial alliance in the day-off idea,
pointing out to the clergymen the futil-
ity of trying to close their doors Sun-
days as long as there were so many
funerals on that day. The clergymen of
Sedalia, thinking to benefit other work-
ers as well as florists, were quick to re-
spond, and the following resolution,
strongly opposing Sunday funprals, was
unanimously adopted:

"In considoration of our rojfKrd for the TiOrd's
day as a day of fst and devotion, and of the

unfairness and injustice of requiring from fif-
teen to forty people to work on Sunday at what
is not a necessary work;

"Kesolved. That we hereby register our dis-
approval of Sunday funerals, and our refusal to
hereafter conduct a funeral on the Lord's day."

Perhaps florists of other towns, under
similar circumstances, would find the
method of the Sedalia tradesmen ef-
fective.

TATE'S TIPS.

Suggestions for Fall Opening.

August is "paint up and clean up"
time, the time for the retailer to do
his house-cleaning. All the things that
impeded the workers during the rush
season should be done away with now;
a summer solution should be found for
each winter worry.

Wlien it is sizzling weather there also
is time for a layout on paper of the
window displays and advertising to be
employed during the forthcoming sea-
son. One of the reasons for the many
failures in advertising is that advertis-
ers do not study and plan their adver-
tising sufficiently, and after the first
enthusiasm everything is done in a half-
hearted manner. Every extra half -hour
devoted to advertising plans will bring
a remuneration later on.

One important midsummer job is to
put the window in good condition, for
the window, as everybody knows, is the
retailer's prime salesman. A good thing
is to jot down ideas for the window that
is to serve as the "fall opening" of
business. Make it something that will
cause the people to take notice, for
there is nothing like a good start after
tlie summer months to remind the public
that the finest flowers are, after all,
tliose sold by the florist. Let the first
gun be fired when chrysanthemums,
dahlias and cosmos are plentiful, in
order that the exhibit may cost as little
as possible. Originality of treatment,

of course, ranks first, and the novel-
ties in accessories should not be over-
looked at this time.

The Cooperative "Stunt."

Perhaps a table decoration of un-
usual style would prove a card, but in
arranging this feature one should not
forget that women are critical. If such
a display should turn out to be too ex-
pensive, one may try cooperative adver-
tising; that is, by using the equipment
of a good caterer and compensating him
by a card in the window. I have seen
this cooperative idea worked out in
many cases, the other party usually be-
ing glad to supply his material for a
good window showing.

Another idea is to have a tile or man-
tel firm put in a temporary mantel. Use
care in selecting it; have one with a
fireplace, for here is where you can use
to advantage a good bunch of autumn
foliage. The same terms might be made
with the mantel people as with the
caterer, but I think after you have once
tried this you will want it to be perma-
nent.

Semember the Weddings.

Then there is the bride's corner for
a home wedding, and as it is the begin-
ning of the social season, when many
a young miss may be contemplating
matrimony, it behooves the window
trimmer to do^ his best. If the work is
good it is likely tp be remembered when
the final arrangements are made. The
white mats should be used, as well as
the kneeling stool, white pedestals, rop-
ing— any good accessory that you may
have. Let the opening be an exhibit
of what you are prepared to offer the
public during the coming season. Any
extra expense in this is to be charged
to advertising, so the next important
thing is to have as many of the people
visit your establishment as possible dur-
ing the opening week. One way to do
this is to insert a card in the daily
papers. Another is to have a neat in-
vitation engraved or printed, but re-
member that it frequently is false econ-
omy to use cheap stationery. The re-
tailer should not forget that every pa-
per in the city has a lady reporter. See
that each receives an invitation to the
affair, in order tliat you may have a
news notice in the paper. Tate.

CLEVER WORK FOR DOG DAYS.

While some retailors are spending
their time at the seaside or tlie lake
resorts, presumably to avoid the sight
of their idle casli registers, others are
making use of tlie dull season by going
after Itusiness with clever bait. J. W.
Rodgers, of Dayton, O., is one of those
who believe that tlio slack time is the
right time for coaxing business in
through tlie door. And Mr. Rodgers is
unique in liis publicity methods. He
believes in the power of suggestion, and
last week he mailed out 4,000 little sug-
gestions to Dayton men, like this:

TO YOU, MR. MAN.

Tliore aro occasions that should novcr ho for-
gotten, and thp two sut-'KOstcd on the enclosed
'•arU, while not the most important, are, to a
woman, whether in the glowinK fire of .voiith
or the darkening embers of later life, periods
that even a word of remembrance will bring
like the rainbow, memor.v of the sunsliine past
and promise of brightness to come.

In the bns.v routine of a man's life occasions
of this kind are frequently forgotten.

Ma.v we not remind .von of them — a day pre-
vious"? We will not ask you to purcliase. even
though we believe flowers to be tlie best medium
of conveying your good wishes.

J. W. Rodgers.

Accompanying the letter was a re-
turn card that read like this:

J. W. Rodgers, Florist:

You may remind me of the following dates,
one day previous to them, understanding that
I am not in any way obligated to you.

Name I'hone

Address • •

Date of wife's birthday

Wedding anniversary

Otiier occasions

The possibilities of Mr. Rodgers'
scheme, with the return cards filed so
that they are taken care of at the proper
time, are unlimited. An index of 500
such cards, with two dates specified,
would represent 1,000 possible sales.
Every time Mr. Rodgers has a wedding
decoration he makes out a card, in order
that he may remind Mr. Newlywed of
the wedding anniversary the following
year, and the many years to come. In-
cidentally, Mr. Rodgers has not copy-
righted his "stunt."

written sooner but thought we might
find the holes in the bottom of the box.
But we have reached the bottom and
still are minus the holes."

A WHOLLY HOLY HOLLER,

A southern florist some time ago gave
a toothpick concern an order. When
the toothpicks were received, they were
without a feature that evidently ap-
pealed to the purchaser, as he sent the
manufacturer the following letter:

"Enclosed find check to balance our
account. When you were here last, you
sold us 50,000 toothpicks with holes in
them, quoting as follows: 'The hole is
the whole.' You failed to ship the
holes, or they were lost or stolen in
transit, as we could not find the holes.

"The next shipment you make us we
want you to add the 50,000 holes that
were short this time. We would have

C. O. D. BOOKKEEPING.

We formerly had trouble keeping our
c. 0. d. accounts straight. The system
we have been using for several years is
simple and practically eliminates
trouble.

We open in our individual ledger one
account against Mr. C, O. D. When
the c. 0. d. order goes to Mr. Jones, 800
Sixteenth street, we charge Mr, C. O. D.
with Jones' flowers, $2. When the
c. o. d. comes back, Mr, C. O. D. is
credited with Jones' $2. In this way
at the end of the month we can check
up and tell just when every c. o. d. ac-
count came in. I recommend a trial of
this system to anyone who is not satis-
fied with his system of keeping c. o. d.
accounts. Z. D. Blackistone,

A BASKET FUNERAL PIECE,

Baskets as funeral pieces are unusual,
but P, V. Matraia, of the Art Floral
Co., San Francisco, Cal, is having great
success with them. One of three he
recently made in a single day is shown
in the illustration on page 15. The
basket is on a column base. Mr, Ma-
traia points out that pieces of this char-
acter give opportunities to dispose of
baskets, which may be filled with dif-
ferent kinds of stock. One he made was
so acceptable that he received a similar
order for the same funeral.

Callas.

The callas should now be well ripened
off and can be shaken out and repotted.
Cut away any decayed parts on the
tubers. Any that are badly affected
would better be thrown away. Small
tubers, if wanted, can be planted in
flats six inches deep or placed several
together in pots. Use a rich soil for
callas. Give them good drainage and,
after potting, stand them outdoors and
leave them there until September.

As between bench and pot culture, the
latter has manifold advantages. The
roots are under better control, the pots
can be moved about at any time and the
plants are much more floriferous than
when given unlimited root-run. A nar-
row l)ench containing a single row along
the side of a carnation house is ideal
for callas and I find that three tubers
in an 8-inch pot give splendid results.

Tlie Godfrey calla is mufh more ]>ro-
lific and nnu-h purer in color tlian the
old ti'thiopica.

Antirrhiniuns.

For a fall and winter crop the first
half of August is a good time to plant
out snapdragons. I prefer to use only
four and one-half to five inches of soil
and to run the rows twelve inches apart,
allowing nine inches between the plants.
The plants should be allowed to run up

their flower spikes until the blooms
start to open and then should be
pinched back fairly hard. This will
cause them to break away strongly
from the base. In planting out, if the
balls are at all matted, loosen them a
little and be sure that the balls are
moist.

Until the plants take hold of the soil
it is better to water a little around each
plant rather than to soak the entire bed
or bencli. Do not keep a moist atmos-
phere and, while an overhead spraying
on extremely hot days is refreshing, do
not overdo this, as it is easy to develop
fungoid aft'ections, to wliich snap-
dragons are no longer immune.

The Aphis Plague.

From many sections come advices
tliat large batches of vegetable, flower
and orchard plants have been terribly
infested with green and black aphis.
Even fields of potatoes and tomatoes,
usually immune, are almost ruined,
while miscellaneous root crops, peas and
beans, asters, various herbaceous per-
ennials and even dahlias are alive with
apliis. Where whole fields are attacked
the spraying is a big proposition, but
the average florist can easily care for
his sweet peas, carnations, asters and
other infested crops by spraying the
plants with a good nicotine extract, to
which some soap is added to make it

more adhesive. Use a fine, misty nozzle.
Direct the spray with a good force and
remember that you must wet each indi-
vidual with the spray to kill it.

Calceolarias.

Sow the seeds of herbaceous calceo-
larias about August 1, in a coldframe or
well shaded greenhouse. Protect the pan
with glass and paper. Let the soil bo
finely screened, water and then sow the
seeds; later scatter a little fine sand
over it. Another plan, and a good one,
is to screen a little fine, dry sphagnum
moss over the surface of the pan, scatter
the seeds on this and then water. It
is too soon yet to take cuttings of the
rugosa calceolarias.

SINGLE YELLOW DAISIES.

I should like to know the name of the
single yellow daisies that are used as
cut flowers in the winter and spring for
basket and corsage work. When should
they be planted in the greenhouse?
Shall I buy rooted cuttings or 2i/^-inch
stock? Do they need solid beds or raised
benches? How much space do they re-
quire? Please give me any cultural
directions that are necessary.

G. S. F.— Pa.

All yellow marguerites are forms of
Chrysanthemum frutescens. Plant now
from 2%-inch pots in either solid beds
or raised benches. "While the majority
of growers prefer to limit the root-run
of their plants, and carry over old plants
in many cases from year to year, yet the
largest and most succeSful grower of
yellow marguerites for the Boston mar-
ket, which receives more good yellow
marguerites than any other city in the
United States, plants young stock each
season and in ground beds. The way his
plants flower is a revelation.

A minimum temperature of 50 degret-s
suits marguerites and a soil such as suits
roses, mums or carnations will answer
well for them. Place the plants eight-
een inches apart each way. Supports
must be given from time to time; a sys-
tem of cross strings similar to those used
for carnations, only spaced farther apart,
will be found suitable. If leaf miners
attack the foliage, use a fairly strong
nicotine spray. A similar spray or
fumigation will care for aphis. When
well established, marguerites need a lib-
eral water supply. In addition, a mukli
of cow manure and soakings of liquid
manure will prove beneficial. There are
many typos of yellow marguerites, good,
bad and indifferent. You should mark
and propagate from your best varieties
only. C. W.

A STEADY CUT OF LILIES.

I expect to have a steady call for Lil-
ium gigantoum l)U(is. I shall need a
supply of al)out fifty to sixty opening
buds per week the year around for cut
flower j)urposes. How often should I
])lant tliese and would it be better to
grow thom on a bencli rather than in
pots? Some advice as to soil and treat-
ment will be appreciated.

Cold storage lily bulbs will not be
necessary the whole year. From De-
cember until May, by using fresh bulbs
of Formosa, Harrisii and giganteum,
you can obtain a regular succession of
lily flowers. From May until December

cold storage stock will be necessary.
You would better buy these so that they
will come to you in small cases of 100
to 150 bulbs. Place them in 5-inch or
SMi-inch pots as soon as received. Give
them a warm house until tlie flowers
start to open; then run them cooler. In
tlie warm summer months any house is
warm enough to start thom. Cold stor-
age bull)s start to grow (juickly. A soil
which will suit any soft-wooded plants
will answer well.

If you start 100 to 150 at a time yo\i
will not need the whole lot to come in
together; some you can grow cooler
and others you can easily retard in a
cold collar. Cold storage bulbs will
not give over two to four flowers per
bulb on the average and lack the vigor
of newly imported stock. Stand the
plants wlien potted below a bench and
leave them there until growth is well
started; then place them on a bench.
Give them a rather dark house, in order
to draw up the stalks. In strong light
they come quite dwarf. C. W.

PESTS ON DAHLIAS.

Before long we shall have the dahlia
season with us, and the writer woubl
like to be prepared more thoroughly
than heretofore to moot the enemies of
this beautiful flower. The greatest

Tlio jumping ])ost referred to is prob-
al)ly tlio tarnished i)lant bug, also called
chinch bug, which is a ditticult post to
fight, as it does not stay still as the
apiiides do. (Quassia ciiiiKS soaked in
water, with some soap added to make
it stick, have proved a good remedy; so,
also, have nicotine extracts to which
soap has been added. The bug which
eats the shoots will need a ])oison.
Arsenate of lead whitens tiio foliage,
but will not burn it. Use this at the
rate of four pounds to fifty gallons of
water. I would suggest using a com-
bined sjiray of arsenate of lead, nico-
tine and soap. This should account for
all ])osts reached, but several applica-
tions will ])robably be necessary. Do
not leave any rubbisli heaps over winter
near your dahlias. They form good
l)ree(ling places for the chincli l)ugs.

SOCIETY OF AMERICAN FLORISTS.

The New York Convention.

The trade in New York is greatly
elated over convention attendance pros-
pects. Reports coming in from state
vice-presidents point to a banner dele-
gation from many sections, and there
appears to be little room for doubt that
the convention will be the biggest and,
from a business point of view, the best
on record.

The -announced curtailment of the
customary entertainment for visitors
does not seem to be at all detrimental
to the success of the gathering; judg-
ing from many communications re-
ceived, 'the absence of anything func-
tional in character is a most welconie
feature of the program. StiH^'^s a prec-
edent tl«e desired policy of ;\ii'o ■ general
entertainment is hard ty? estafelisH 'and
many little surprisea.^waili'tli^'- Visitors.
New , York has ^Lw'a^^^een con^cupua

gations, whose enjoym^iit o| tia hos-
pitalities extende^^y convefttiott cities
has been mo3t mg*ke(i,%id H goes sadly
againsl the grain of %ti^ NeTgf'^^otkers
to have to give the firail i>i^^. t<>.^the
new ordei: of things, ^ * "*

Thd success of tlie trade exhibition
is practically assured. The display will
be staged On the main floior of the Grand
Cent^ Belace, the home 6f New York's
big aitAual flower show, and the meet-
ing quarters will be acljacent. The con-
vention management was most fortunate
in being able to house the convention
in this- fine building. Incoming exhibits
will be conveniently handled; in fact,
will be received practically on the flo^r
where they are to be staged. There is
an excellent cafe and restaurant in the
building, .and other conveniences, such
as telegraph, telephones and post-office
chutes. Adjoining the secretary's of-
fice will be found the bureau of infor-
mation, where attendants will be con-
stantly at the service of visitors.

Visitors upon arrival should report
immediately at the secretary's office,
which will be found at the left of the
main entrance to the building.

Fifth National Flower Show.

Arrangements for the Fifth National
Flower Show, to be held in St. Louis,
April 6 to 15 next, are progressing
nicely. The second preliminary sched-
ule of prizes has been sent out and
floor plans of Moolah Temple and the
adjoining building, where the show is
to be held, are in course of preparation.

As the S. A. F. convention is to be
held in conjunction with the show,
more than ordinary interest attaches to
the trade section of the show, which
naturally will absorb the usual conven-
tion trade exhibition. The advantage
this presents to exhibitors is being rec-
ognized and reservations of space for
extensive displays are already being
made. Among the concerns which have
booked space are Lord & Burnham Co.,
Chicago; A. L. Randall Co., Chicago,
and the Fulper Pottery Co., Fleming-
ton, N. J.

Copies of the second preliminary
schedule niav be had on application to
the s>»cretary, 53 West Twenty-eighth
street, New York.

John Young, Sec'y.

and by-laws will be considered at the
annual meeting of the Ladies' S. A. F.,
to bo held in New York city August 22.
Members of the society will please take
notice.

Mrs. Chas. H. Maynard, Sec'y.

As some of these hotels will be busy
at the time of the convention, it is ur-
gently recommended that reservations
be made in advance. Write any one of
the hotels in the list, stating explicitly
what you desire in the way of accommo-
dations, and ask that reservations be
made. You will receive prompt and
courteous reply.

All of the hotels listed are convenient
to the Grand Central Palace, the exhi-
bition building, in which all of the ses-
sions of the convention will be held and
where registration headquarters will be
located.
W. A. Sperling, Sec'y Hotel Committee.

PANSIES NOT SEEDING.

My pansies are covered with blooms,
but they do not bear seeds. Do you
think bees would help matters any, or
can you suggest some other remedy?

C. W. H.— Mo.

A deficiency of moisturie at the roots
and your warm climate will both be
against your pansies setting seeds.
Even with bees present, matters would
not be helped much. Pansies and all
members of the viola family are cool
and moisture-loving subjects and reach
their greatest perfection under such
conditions. The specialists in Great
Britain, France, Germany and America
who have extra good strains do much
hand pollination and take great pains
with their stocks. I would not advise
you to save seed. The resultant plants
would be of inferior quality. Buy seeds
of a good strain produced under cooler
conditions and you will be monev in

The adoption of a new constitution

Rotterdam, Holland. — While no as-
surance can be given as to the changes
that may occur, there now seems to be
no reason for thinking the bulb exports
will not go to the United States us usu-
al this season. The Holland-America
line has indicated its expectation of
moving this class of freight with its
usual promptness, inquiry having been
made in the interest of the Dutch Bulb
Exporters' Association. Officers of the
line have stated their purpose to be to
afford every possible assistance for the
Holland bulb and nursery industry in
reaching the only market now available.

Haarlem, Holland. — The temperature
since May has been ideal for plant
growth, but tlie rainfall lias been scant.
The month of May this year was one of
the warmest on record in the Nether-
lands. The temperature averaged 4 de-
grees above normal, while the rainfall
was fifty per cent below normal. June
was even warmer, drier and sunnier
than May. In Friesland, many thou-
sands of cabbage plants tliat had been
transferred from hothouses shriveled
and died under the hot sun, but irrthe
bulb district the conditions were favor-
able for the ripening, cleaning and cur-
ing of the crop.

Sas van Gent, Holland. — Although it
is only twenty-five miles from this
Holland border city to Ghent, the center
of the former Belgian nursery industry,
it is impossible to keep in touch. The
mails cannot be depended on for any
purpose, least of all to convey informa-
tion. Whenever important military af-
fairs are afoot in Belgium the frontier
is closed and few Hollanders have cared
to make the effort necessary to visit the
Ghent and Bruges district. The grow-
ers of azaleas, palms and bay trees have
had a hard time. They are only a few
miles back of the battle line where it
runs up to the sea, and nearly three
years of military occuj)ation has result-
ed in the destruction of a large part of
the peace-time industries. Many of the
men are gone, one way and another, and
fuel has been difficult to obtain, but a
considerable number of nurseries have
managed to carry on. If the German,
British and American governments
agree on permission to export in Hol-
land this fall there will be as much
stock as is needed to fill orders, as
nearly all American and Holland deal-
ers seem to have given up the attempt
to do business with the Belgians under
[iresent conditions.

ANNUALS FOR WINTER BLOOM.

Please give me a list of annuals which
are adapted for indoor culture and
which it is not yet too late to grow
from seeds or cuttings. I want some
that will do fairly well in a carnation
temperature and which will flower early
in winter, such as calendulas, mignon-
ette and pansics. O. W. — Wis.

The following annuals are satisfac-
tory for winter and early spring flower-
ing: Mignonette, which can be sown
now and can be depended upon to bloom
all winter; calendulas, which should be
sown in August for an early crop;
stocks, including such varieties as
Beauty of Nice, Pink Column and White
Column, which should be sown at once;
pansies, which can be sown at once —
the Giant Trimardeau strain is a su-
perior one; Centaurea Cyanus, or bache-
lor's button, to be sown now; Dimorpho-

A Pleasant Place to Live and a Pleasant Place to Do Btjsiness,

theca aurantiaca, a pretty and useful
plant, which flowers earlier than any
other, annual from seed; sweet peas,
where there is sufficient head room —
among the most profitable of all annuals,
enjoying a carnation temperature while
flowering; antirrhinums, which may be
liad from seed or cuttings. Some special
forcing varieties of antirrhinums are
offered and these are prolific bloomers.
While all the foregoing are winter
bloomers, they will not be at their best
in early winter, but will improve as the
days lengthen and the sun's rays grow
somewhat stronger. C. W.

likewise?" Mr. Epple could use no
other means that would better adver-
tise his business. It is safe to hazard
that his yard has caused many a pass-
er-by to halt and leave good cash in
return for good plants and flowers.

THEY STOP, LOOK ANIKJBUY.

L. Epple, a grower at North Pelham,
N. Y., is one of the many florists who
believe in what The Review recently
termed "taking our own medicine."
The accompanying illustration shows
his range of greenhouses and bunga-
low home adjoining. But what is of
most importance in the picture is the
manner in which he practices what he
preaches — flowers and shrubs for home
decoration, indoors and out.

If you were not a florist, but still
had the same love for flowers, would
not a view of the Epple home and
grounds make you want to "go and do

OUTDOOR LILIES IN U. S.

Charles L. Bauni, of Baum's House
of Flowers, Knoxville, Tenn., believes
that lilies can be grown outdoors in
the United States as well as in Japan,
and sends the photograph from which
the accompanying illustration was made
to prove liis assertion. These giganteum
lilies were growai from cold storage
bulbs planted out under trees. Two
cases were planted each week for sev-
eral weeks. They now are throwing
from three to five buds each, and next
year are expected to give from two to
three buds each after being left out
all winter. Should they uot be cut,
but disbudded next year, Mr. Baum
believes, tliey would do better the third
year than the first.

Springfield, 111. — Lewis H. Wise, suc-
cessor to John M. Gaupp, is getting the
North Side Greenhouses in first-class
shape for autumn. He anticipates a
good season's business.

against the grain of the New Yorkers
to have to give tlie lirat push to. the

The success of the trade exhibition

be staged on the main lloor of tlie Grand
Central Palace, the home of New York's
big annual flower show, and the meet-
ing quarters will be adjacent. The con-
vention management was most fortunate
in being able to house the convention
in thisfine building. Incoming exhibits
will be conveniently handled; in fact,
will be received ])ractically on the floor
where they are to be staged. There is
an excellent cafe and restaurant in the
building, and ot1i(M- conveniences, such
as telegraph, telejihones and post-office
chutes. Adjoining the secretary's of-

PANSIES NOT SEEDING.

My jiansies are covered with blooms,
but tliey do not bear seeds. Do yon
think bees would help nuitters any, or
can vou suggest some other remedv?

c. w. II.— ivio.

A deficiency of moisture at the roots
and your warm climate will both be
against your jiansies setting seeds.
F\'en with bees prest'iit, matters would
not be hel]ied much. Pansies and all
members of the \ icda family are cool
and moisture-loving subjects and reach
their greatest perfection under such
i-onditions. Tin; specialists in Great
iiritain, Trance, tiermany and America
who have extra good strains do much
hand jiollination and take great pains
with their stocks. I would not advise
you to save seed. The resultant plants
would be of inferior quality. Buy seeds
of a good strain jirodiiced under cooler
conditions and you will be moiiev in
pocket. ' C. W.

NIEUW AMSTERDAM CLAIMS i

r^-flJ7rtlt7^l?7^lfy^lff^It?^IB^I?f^lt7^fl?7^lffT^^

A COMPROMISE IN PROSPECT.

All Branches of Trade Involved.

Of all the losses that have occurred
to importers since the war began, and
they are well known to have been many,
nothing has hit the trade like the claims
growing out of the Nieuw Amsterdam,
but there seems to be a probability, or
at least a possibility, that they will be
settled out of court, by compromise.

All branches of the trade are in-
volved, for the Nieuw Amsterdam car-
ried what probably was the largest
cargo of horticultural goods ever stored
in the hold of a steamer. Whether or
not the Holland shippers had a tip that
this would be their one chance to get
their stock away to America, they acted
with promptness and unanimity; they
got an enormous quantity of stock ready
for this sailing, consigned to florists,
seedsmen and nurserymen in all parts
of America.

To Freshen Memory.

Those of the hundreds directly con-
cerned will not require to have their
memories refreshed and readers of The
Eeview probably will recall the circum-
stances, but it may be noted that the
Nieuw Amsterdam, with many millions
of gladiolus bulbs, hundreds of cases of
boxwoods, scores of cases of dormant
roses and hundreds of cases of general
nursery stock on board, sailed for New
York late in January and in the course
of a few days returned to Rotterdam.
Report had it that the steamer was re-
called by wireless, but this now is de-
nied— it is said tlie master returned be-
cause the perils of navigation endan-
gered his vessel.

At any rate, after a while the cargo
of the Nieuw Amsterdam was transfer-
red, about February 7, to two smaller
boats, the Maartensdyk and Wester-
dyk. Those lay at Rotterdam week
after week, re})eatedly announced to
sail "in a few days," until April, when
the Ilolland-xVnierica line accepted the
trade's representation that the stock
would not now be worth the United
States tariff duties, unloaded the
steamers and returned the stock to the
shippers if they would take it, as most
of them did.

Slow Getting Through.

It took some little time for tlie mean-
ing of tliis to penetrate the mind of the
average consignee, Init one by one the
men to whom this shipload of stock had
been sold awakened to the fact that
they might have to pay for something
they never got, that, indeed, they might
in addition liave to pay the freight on
it. Might even have to pay for the
cases the goods were packed in!

No specially active imagination is
needed to conceive the extent of the
shock! At first sight, it seemed impos-
sible; those wlio read the notes in The
Review were incredulous, but gradu-
ally it came to Ije recognized that the
trade was confronted with a quite un-
usual but not unprecedented situation.

The Shippers' Responsibility.

A couple of seasons ago one of the

trade organizations adopted resolutions
pledging its members to place orders
only on the basis of freight and duty
paid, but nearly all of the Nieuw Am-
sterdam's cargo was sold f. o. b. nursery,
packing extra. That seemed to let the
shipper out.

But the stock was returned. What
bearing had that? The shippers claim
that in receiving stock back they acted
only as the agent of their customers, for
the purpose of stopping warehouse
charges, insurance fees, etc., and in the
hope of salvaging some of the stock.
Not many consignees have been able to
get an exact statement of what was
saved. With the gladiolus bulbs the
salvage should have been considerable,
as a shortage existed and the stock
should have been in condition to re-
plant. With boxwoods, so-called 2-year-
old dormant roses and other nursery
stock it is a different matter; the shipper
probably had no place or need for the
stock if it was in condition to replant
and no doubt practically all of it was
burned.

Also, the shipper had guaranteed the
freight and in most cases was required
to pay when the stock was returned.
Most American consignees have re-
ceived memoranda of the expense in-
curred under this head.

-The Carrier and Insurer.

The Holland-America line gets its
money whether or not the boat arrives
at its destination. It is not res^nsible
for cargo under any conceivable circum-
stances unless negligence can be proven.
In this case the ship put to sea and there
encountered dangers such as to cause
its captain, so it is said, exercising the
discretion shipping laws place with the
master of the vessel, to return to port.
The company had done its part; it
claimed its charges and denied all re-
sponsibility.

Most, if not all, the bulbs and plants
in the Nieuw Amsterdam were fully
covered by marine and war risk insur-
ance, including insurance against heat-
ing to destination, and they were re-
insured at an increased rate when the
shipments were transferred to other
steamers, but the insurance company
disclaims liability for damage through
delay. Attorneys to whom tlie policies
have been submitted for opinion say
that the insurance company can not be
held liable unless it is proven that the
damage was caused by heating or usual
marine or war risk causes.

Action to Defend the Trade.

The nurserymen were quicker to take
action than the bulb importers or flo-
rists. On a call issued by Thomas B.
Meehan, Dresher, Pa., a committee was
formed which invites all interested par-
ties to place claims in its hands. An
agreement form has been prepared and
a large number of consignees have
signed it. Mr. Meehan says the com-
mittee docs not care to give out any
information at this time, but that it
will be glad to hear from anyone who
had goods on this boat.

Apparently, concerted action was not
wholly to tiie liking of the exporters.

Usually, in case of numerous losses from
any cause, the Dutch exporters of bulbs
or nursery stock do not stand on their
legal rights, fearing to kill the business.
Instead, they settle with each man as
best they may. From some they got
the money; from others, part of it; from
a few, none at all; but they keep the
business.

A Basis for Compromise.

Concerted action may result in a law-
suit to test the liability of the trade.
Or it may result in a compromise.
There is an attorney here from Hollaml
who claims to represent the shippers
and the insurers, although the extent
of his authority has not become ap-
parent.

One man who had close to $1,000
worth of goods on the boat ventures
the opinion that if it is decided that the
Hollanders are right on the law points,
it still will be possible to effect a
compromise, perhaps one even better
than the proverbial fifty-fifty. He says
when the disposition of his stock is
shown he expects the shipper will stand
one-third, the insurance company wilt
pay one-third and the American who
got nothing but trouble will pay the re-
maining third. The most doubtful fac-
tor is the insurance company.

To forestall a probable shortage of
forcing bulbs, S. J. Goddard, of Fram-
ingham, Mass., is planning to follow his
chrysanthemums with stocks and snap-
dragons.

William Vert, president of the Chrys-
anthemum Society of America, has left
Castlegould, Port Washington, L. I.,
and ■ become superintendent at The
Elms, the home of C. V. Brokaw, at Gleu
Cove.

Automobilists always are welcome
at flower stores, but when a car driven
by a woman skidded and crashed
through the display Avindow of The
Rosery, at Bridgeport, Conn., George
Pflomni remarked that he "would
rather they left their cars outside."

It is good news to hear that Frederick
J. Michell, of the H. F. Michell Co.,
Philadelphia, who was severely injured
four weeks ago when struck by an auto-
mobile, is on the "highroad" to com-
plete recovery. It is to be hoped that
there are no speed maniacs on that high-
road.

The biblical pronoimcement that
"the first shall be last and tlie last
first" does not apply to the selective
draft, and in all probability John
Walch, of H. Bayersdorfer & Co.,
Philadelphia, is glad of it. Mr. Walch 's
"red ink" draft number was the last
one drawn at \Vashington, and in this
case the first shall be first and the last
last.

While jnany growers are complaining
about the rise in the price of coal,
Blowitt & Pickett, of Des I'laines, 111.,
came near having a record rise in that
precious commodity. Two dynamite
bombs were found July 25 in a car of
coal consigned to the firm, according to
a report, and delivered at the range.
Federal agents are investigating the
case.

DO CARNATIONS PAY?

Well, They Certainly Pay Kinzie.

Motorists passing through the city of
South Bend, Ind., note a well kept green-
house property just outside the city on
the east, on the Lincoln highway. It
is the establishment of H. M. Kinzie,
who sells most of his cut flowers at re-
tail, although a part go to the flower
stores in South Bend. Like many of
the smaller growers, Mr. Kinzie pins his
faith to the Enchantress family, grow-
ing Enchantress, White Enchantress and
■Rose-pink Enchantress. In the season
just closed by throwing out and re-
planting, he had 930 plants on the
benches. Here is the record of the cut
by months:

Blooms Cut Splits

September, IfilG 154

October, 191(i 937 7

November, 1916 946 14

December, 1916 1,051 72

January, 1917 2,108 1.52

February. 1917 1,559 8.3

March, 1917 2,085 68

April, 1917 1,772 68

May, 1917 2,480 158

June, 1917 3,7.54 61

July, 1917 2,827 15

Total 19,733 698

This makes an average of twenty-two
blooms per plant, counting the splits,
which were less than one per plant.

The total sales for the season were
$736.82, which is 3.11 cents per flower,
counting splits, or 3.73 cents per flower
counting only perfect flowers.

The receipts per plant were 79.22
cents.

A part of the good financial showing
was due to the fact that only two plants
died, and these two so early in the
season that they were replaced; every
plant therefore was a producer.

This was Mr. Kinzie 's second season.
In his first year at carnation growing
he had 798 plants on the benches. Forty-
two died, but the others gave 14,717
blooms, which sold for $575. It was
18.4 blooms per plant and 72 cents per
plant.

A SUBSTITUTE FOR WARD.

Please give me the name of a rose-
pink carnation that will take the place
of Mrs. C. W. Ward and make as good
a plant as the menibors of the Enchant-
ress family. We have Mrs. C. W. Ward
now, but cannot do anything with it
and should like to find a substitute for
it, aside from Rose-pink Encliantress.

W. A. & S.— Wis.

Mrs. C. W. Ward and Rose-pink En-
chantress are the two popular varieties
in this vicinity in the medium shade of
pink. Tlie former is liked for its gen-
eral excellence and the latter on account
of its easy management. There are
other varieties in the same shade of
color, each of which has its special
merits. Among these is Good Cheer,
which makes a good flower on a splen-
did stem; its most serious fault is an

inclination to show traces of carnation
yellows and this demands close selec-
tion in propagating. Another is Miss
Theo, which makes a fine plant and
blooms freely, but is a trifle undersized
for high-class trade. Zoe Symonds seems
quite popular with some growers; it ^
does not grow quite so vigorously as
the Enchantress varieties in our soil,
but might prove quite satisfactory with
you. Mrs. C. E. Akehurst has some
friends, on account of its vigorous
growth; it is a good carnation, but not
good enough to displace Ward here. We
suggest that you try a limited quantity
of each of these and select the one that
comes the nearest to filling your needs.
You might also try some of Dorner's
Rosalia and Roper's Albert Roper, two
of this year's acquisitions.

A. F. J. B.

CARE OF THE BENCH PLANTS.

Spraying and Other Attentions.

After having set the carnation plants
in the new soil and watered them in
well, you will confine your watering
mainly to the overhead spraying, ex-
cept to touch a dry spot here and there
occasionally. Not much of this water-
ing in spots will be required if the soil
was moistened evenly all over the bed

before planting. You will notice that,
as a result of the first watering, many
of the plants have fallen over to one
side. After a few days the soil will
become drained of the excess water and
become set, as growers term it. You
should then go over the beds and
straighten up the plants that have fallen
over, by pressing the soil against the
stems enough to hold the plants up-
right. If the plants have been set deep
enough in the soil they will stand up-
right without further trouble. This
method is better than to put on the sup-
ports right away, as the supports inter-
fere more or less with working the soil.

Using the Soil-Scratcher.

By the time the plants will stand up
without being sprayed overhead during
the heat of the day, you will find the
soil in excellent condition to be worked
on the surface for the first time. There
may be a light green scum on the sur-
face and the first crop of young weeds
probably will be pushing through the
soil. Both of these you want to get rid
of speedily. Use one of the many styles
of soil-scratchers for this. Break up
the crust to a depth of about an inch
and pulverize it thoroughly, but be care-
ful not to heap it up around the plants,
a mistake we find prevalent among
green help. After a bed is scratched,
spray lightly overhead and leave the
bed in that condition for a day before
you water. Then give a thorough water-
ing, and thereafter water as you would
any establislied plants. The texture of
your soil will determine how frequently
you should work the surface afterward,
but it should not be allowed to become
crusted over hard at anv time.

The Florists^ Review

August 2, 1917.

NEW YORK.

The Market.

Last week was a scorcher, Friday be-
ing the hottest July 27 in twenty-five
years, and as a result there was a no-
ticeable absence of demand in the
wholesale market until Saturday, when
there was a clean-up of everything of
good quality. The accumulations of
the week, however, could scarcely be
given away.

Roses, the perfect ones, were steadier.
Good Ophelias and I'rinia Donnas sold
at $8 per hundred. The best American
Beauties brought $25 per hundred.
Many rosCs showed the effects of heat
and mildew, and thousands were small
in bud and stem. These were quoted
at 50 cents and $1 per hundred. Some
excellent carnations, especially Wards,
still arrive. The shipments, however,
grow smaller each week and the quality
is depreciating.

The market is heavily stocked with
lilies. The price July 28 was $4 per
hundred. A few extra long-stemmed
brought $5 per hundred. Valley is not
abundant, but little of it brings more
than $4 per hundred. The supply of
rubrum lilies is excessive. The prices
on orchids are holding steadv, good
gigas bringing 60 cents each. The flood
of asters is beginning. Last week 50
cents to $2 per hundred were the quota-
tions. Every window in the wholesale
section displayed them. Everything
indicates an enormous supply, the
weather having been especially favor-
able to them. The supply of gladioli
is sufiicient for the demand. There is
a large supply of miscellaneous stock,
which finds little demand. Daisies,
sweet peas, delphiniums, coreopsis and
the other outdoor flowers arrive in such
quantities that they bring little money.

Various Notes.

The next meeting of the New York
Florists' Club will be held at the club's
rooms in the Grand Opera House build-
ing, Monday evening, August 13. Ex-
hibits of gladioli and asters will be
staged.

The S. A. F. convention is the prin-
cipal topic of conversation among the
florists and preparations are being made
for a large attendance. The headquar-
ters of the Ladies' S. A. F. will be at
the Hotel McAlpin, where the annual
meeting and a social gathering for the
members will be held Thursday eve-
ning, August 2.'?. Philip Kessler, chair-
man of the entertainment committee,
has engaged the blue and green rooms
at tlie hotel for the occasion. A buffet
su{i]u'r vdU be served.

Many of the New York wholesalers
attended the annual outing of the Es-
sex Countv, N. J., Florists' Club at
Gillette, N. J., August 1.

When all the young men who are
drafted leave for the front, Twenty-
eighth street and other florists' cen-
ters will be lonesome.

N. Christatos will build a 13-story
apartment house on the site of his store
at I'ifty-eighth street and Sixth ave-
nue, retaining tlie corner room for his
business.

Harold Coojier now is one of the oflice
force of the Kervan Co.

Kenneth Shaw, bookkeeper for Badg-
ley & Bishop, has returned from a two
weeks' vacation sjient at Niagara Falls
and in Ohio. John Eganbrod, head
salesman for this firm, left July 31 for

a trip to California, with stops at the
principal cities en route. He will re-
turn in September.

Walter Siebrecht and Clarence Slinn,
who made an auto trip to California,
have arrived at Pasadena. They will
return by train after spending two
weeks on the coast.

D. F. Pappas, president of the United
Cut Flower Co., spent last week in New
England, visiting Newport, Boston and
several other cities. After the S. A. F.
convention, Mr. Pappas expects to take
a fishing trip.

Henry Weston, of Hempstead, L. I.,
and Charles Weber, of Lynbrook, L. I.,
and their wives have returned from a
week spent in the Berkshire hills, Con-
necticut.

John Donaldson, of Patchogue, L. I.,
who recently was severely bruised when
he was struck by an automobile, is re-
covering.

Traendly & Schenck have moved their
offices to the front of their store at 43
Sixth avenue, thereby doubling the
space in the rear where shipments are
handled.

James B. Deal, who has stands at
several of the cabarets, is serving on a
jury.

Paul Meconi has a new glass front
for his store at 55 West Twenty-sixth
street. On it appears the new firm
name, Meconi & Son. The young man
paid his first visit to the wholesale mar-
ket July 28. Mrs. Meconi again is in
charge of the office.

James Coyle is seriously ill and his
store is closed.

The Henry M. Robinson Co. is mak-
ing several changes in its store, includ-
ing a new front.

Mr. and Mrs. Irving Goldstein have
returned from their wedding trip and
are living at Averne. George Futter-
man also is at Averne for the summer.

James Hart, of Madison, N. J., again
is back on Twenty-eighth street after
an enforced vacation with a broken rib.
It was his first vacation in thirty years.

The R. J. Irwin store now closes at
1 o'clock Saturdays.

Charles Matthews, salesman for E.
Horan, who had been ill for five weeks,
has recovered.

P. J. Smith received a total of 50,750
lilies last week, 10,625 arriving Satur-
day.

Mrs. Fred Kervan and family spent
the last two weeks at Asburv Park,
N. J.

A. L. Young & Co. are putting a new
front in their building at 54 west Twen-
ty-eighth street and are preparing for
an energetic campaign this fall.

Robert Jackson 's draft number was
1,999 and he expects to be called to the
colors soon.

Many employees of the wholesale and
retail stores are away on their vaca-
tions. Among them are: Joseph Le-
vine, of Guttman & Ravnor, at White
lake, in tlie Catskills; H. W. Gallaer,
with the G. W. Grawbuck Co , is at
Springfield, L. I. Those who re-
turned last week are Miss Jean-
ette McNamey, bookkeeper for Charles
Millang; Miss Brandt, bookkeeper for
Goldstein & Futterman; ]\[r. Bradshaw,
of William Kessler 's staff; Frank Gols-
ner and Robert Jackson; Isadore Duke,
of Gunther Bros.; Miss Conklin, book-
kee^ier for H. E. Froment; Miss Gold-
berg, bookkeeper for the United Cut
Flower Co.

Mr. and Mrs. Charles Kessler have
left for two weeks at the seashore.

Percy Rigby, manager of the New
York store of the S. S. Pennock Co.
Philadelphia, says that it is diflficult to
secure competent female office help, the
demand by banks and other institution.s
being so great now that the war has
called many young men. Mr. Hicks, oi
this company, has returned from a throe
weeks' rest at his home on Long Is
land. J. Austin Shaw.

Wertheimer Bros, are now working;
in their mill at Paterson, N. J., on a
large contract secured from the United
States government to supply ribbon hat
bands for the United States navy.

It Is Now Max Schling, Inc.

Max Schling 's business has outgrown
its quarters at 22 West Fifty-ninth
street and the retail cut flower and
landscape department will be moved to
785 Fifth avenue, although the present
store will be retained to house the seed
department. At the same time it is an-
nounced that the business has been in-
corporated under the name Max Schling,
Inc., with a capital stock of $50,000.

The new Fifth avenue store has 9,000
square feet of space and is in the heart
of the more exclusive residence and
hotel section of the city. The Fifty-
ninth street store has two floors, but
they did not provide sufficient space.
Both stores will bear the new name.

MOTT-LY MUSINGS.

Otto Ernst, of Norwich, Conn., sees
good business ahead and predicts quite
a crowd at the convention of the S. A.
F. A special car will be chartered
if enough florists from his neighbor-
hood can go.

Johnston Bros., of Providence, speak
well of the F. T. D. A fine spray formed
of Lilium auratum — some blooms had a
double row of petals — was noted.

W. A. Dawson, of Willimantic, Conn.,
notes a smaller call for bedding plants
this season, the more noticeable because
the stock was excellent. He looks for
a good fall business, nevertheless.

The W. W. Edgar Co., of Waverley,
Mass., is preparing stock for next win-
ter quite independently of any foreign
assistance. A fine batch of Giant cycla-
mens, in 6-inch pans, was noted. "This
matter of being independent," observed
Herman Bartsch, "reminds me of the
sick man who was prescribed a tonic to
be taken in small doses. He argued that
by absorbing the whole contents at one
time he might knock down Goliath. Go
slowly, but surely," concluded Mr.
Bartsch, "and we will certainly get
there."

D. N. Potter, of Auburn, R. I., one of
the largest growers of vegetables in
this locality, says that while the whole-
sale prices are unsatisfactory on ac-
count of the quantity of vegetables be-
ing grown by amateurs, the consumer
who has to purchase is paying high.
The professional will have his turn
later. W. M.

Waterbury, Conn. — A. Dallas & Son
are most sanguine regarding fall busi-
ness. "We certainly shall keep the
fires burning, expecting to grow more
stock if imported stock fails us," said
Mr. Dallas. "Funeral work shows no
sign of decreasing; in fact, it was never
better."

OBITUARY

day, July 27, from the residence, 7923
Normal avenue, with interment in
Mount Greenwood cemetery.

CLEVELAND.

Joshua Ladley.

Joshua Ladley, who was well known
in the Philadelphia market, died last
week at his home at Kennett Square,
I'a., where for many years he specialized
in carnations. He was for many years a
regular shipper to William J. Baker,
the wholesaler of Philadelphia, and be-
lieved that, like a good family doctor,
a good commission merchant should not
be changed when once chosen. A son of
the decedent is foreman for William
Swayne, of Kennett Square.

A. A. Pantet.

One of the old-time florists of Arkan-
sas, A. A. Pantet, who for many years
conducted a business at Port Smith,
died last week at his home, at the age of
52. The decedent was born in France,
December 30, 1865, and at the age of
15 came to America. Upon his arrival
at Fort Smith ten years later he started
a florists' business, which he conducted
successfully until failing health in 1912
caused him to retire and turn the busi-
ness over to another concern. Mrs.
Pantet, two daughters, two brothers and
a sister survive.

William E. Cratz.

William E. Cratz, a pioneer seed deal-
er of Toledo, O., died at his home in that
city July 21. He was 63 years old. Mr.
Cratz first engaged in business in To-
ledo thirty-three years ago. Later he
formed a partnership with his brother,
Henry, doing business under the name
of Cratz Bros. Henry Cratz died twelve
years ago. Mr. Cratz leaves his wife,
one son, Ben.iamin A., and a daughter,
Miss Hazel Cratz.

Jolin C. Mulder.

The Chicago trade was startled last
week by news of the sudden death of
John C. Mulder, one of the first florists
of the city, who had conducted green-
liouses on Normal avenue since the days
when Auburn Park was a swamp, and
whose father's establishment dated as
far back as the year 1867. Mr. Mulder
was stricken with heart failure while
out driving with Mrs. Mulder July 24,
and died at the wheel — an unuSual, but
one may say easy end.

The decedent was born November 21,
1859, at Groningen, Holland, where his
father. Card Mulder, conducted a nur-
sery and florists' business. He came
to America with his parents in 1866,
and later learned the business under his
father, who had established a green-
house business at what tlien was 868
West Lake street, Chicago, in 1867, the
establishment passing to other hands
after nineteen vears of success.

At the age of 27, in 1886, John C.
started the business which later became
known as the Auburn Park Greenhouses,
at 7923 Normal avenue, and in which
he was engaged at the time of his death.
In the course of thirty-one years Mr.
Mulder built up a good trade. He was
well liked in the community and was
known as a man of sterling character.
He is survived by his wife, two married
daughters and a son, Miner, who was
associated with his father in the busi-
ness and who will continue it.

The funeral services were held Fri-

The Market.

Business this week has been rather
dull, due chiefly to the abnormally hot
weather. Asters are more plentiful,
taking the place of carnations, which
disappeared from this market last week.
Sweet peas are abundant, but are rap-
idly deteriorating in quality. Eoses, par-
ticularly the longer grades, are scarce,
while the medium and short stock is in
moderate supply. Some choice gladioli
of the varieties America, Niagara, Pink
Beauty and King are coming in, but
not in suflScient abundance to meet the
demand for this ever popular flower.
Easter and rubrum lilies are plentiful,
moving slowly.

Some retailers report a July business
in excess of that for the same period of
last year, while many claim to be barely
approximating their previous records,
but the consensus is that trade has been
materially better.

The lavish use of printers' ink by
Knoble Bros, is much commented on by

ing firm believes that in constantly keep-
ing at it by this method lies the sure
and logical road to ultimate success.
And results prove it for them! Their
slogan, ' ' A store as near to you as the
nearest phone," is being speedily con-
verted into liousehold words by con-
stant use of the a<lvertising columns of
the daily papers. This course, combined
with the analysis of prevailing condi-
tions and application of accepted busi-
ness princi])les, is turning the trick.
And it is worthy of emulation.

Various Notes.

A regular meeting of the Florists'
riuV) will be held Monday, August 6, at
8 p. m. sharp. Annual nomination of
oilicers and final arrangements for the
j)iciiic will be the chief matters of busi-
ness for transaction at this meeting.

Carl Wilson, son of Ella Grant Wil-
son, has enlisted in the engineer corps
and is wearing the khaki in camp at
Gordon park.

Hester A. Getz, of Westinan ^ Getz,
has returned from a three wccL.s" so-
journ in Canada, part of the time being

spent at the Algonquin National park.
Discussing business conditions with
leading florists of Montreal and To-
ronto, Miss Getz found the general tone
weak, due, doubtless, to the country hav-
ing been in the throes of war for three
years.

H. P. Merrick, of the Lord & Burn-
ham Co., has completed an exceptionally
active month. Building two conserva-
tories in Cleveland, one pipe frame
greenhouse in Youngstown and a couple
of similar structures in Cuyahoga Falls,
in this period, bears ample evidence that
this progressive concern is playing a
large part in the structural work in
this vicinity. It also evinces a condi-
tion anything but apathetic in the
trade.

The Gladiolus Society of Ohio will
hold its annual show at the store of
Halle Bros., upon the tentative dates
of August 14 to 16. This exhibition
usually has been staged at the Hollenden
hotel, but has never attained the high
degree of success to which its merit
entitles it. Congratulations are due the
society for its extremely good fortune
in securing this highly favorable set-
ting on Euclid avenue for its display.
The prize list is in the course of prepa-
ration and can be obtained from the
secretary, Wilbur A. Christy, Warren,
O. There is to be no entry fee and ;io
charge for admission.

According to present indications,
Cleveland will be well represented at
the New York convention. Among the
number who have announced their in-
tention of going are F. C. W. Brown, of
the Gasser Co., and H. P. Knoble, the
latter, with his family, combining the
trip with a vacation in the mountains.

Speaking of vacations, listen: Al.
Barber, of the Jones-Russell Co.; Walter
Priest, of the Plant & Flower Co.;
Frank Ritzenthaler, of Knoble Bros.;
George Bate, of the Cleveland Cut
Flower Co.; Frank Kocher and James
McLaughlin, of the Gasser Co.; Walter
Rokusek, of the Cleveland Florists' Ex-
change, and Frank Schoen, of the
Schoen Floral Co., have just returned,
rested and rejuvenated, from their vaca-
tions. Frank Williams, of the Cleveland
Cut Flower Co.; Carl Lee, of the Gasser
Co.; Miss Stroh, of Westman & Getz;
George Schaub and Jack McGilly, of
Smith & Fetters, and Miss Cliff, of
Christine the Florist, are away, and a
host of others making preparations to
go. Speaketli not this, more convinc-
ingly timn words, of an era of prosperity
among Cleveland florists? J. AIcL.

FLOWERS FOR IDENTIFICATION.

I am sending you two wild flowers for
identification. Tliey undoulitedly will
be badly withered when they reach you,
as these prairie flowers wilt quickly even
in water. One flower suggests to me the
petunia. The root of the spike-formed
flower is woody, or nearly so. The in-
dividual blossoms arc extremely small
and of a most intense blue. The stamen
stalks are brown and the anthers are
dark golden yellow. The plant is beau-
tiful when in bloom. If only the blue
part of the flower were larger, the effect
would be magnificent. B. C. A. — Mo.

One plant only was in such a condi-
tion as to be recognizable. It is Amor-
pha fruticosa, commonly called the false
indigo. This is used a good deal in
shrubberies and succeeds well under ad-
verse conditions. C. W.

Eesults bring advertising.
The Review brings results.

Where Mrs. Russell is available there
is little need for any other summer rose.

It never has paid to advertise so well
as it will pay tlie trade from this time on.

The end-of-July heat wave was general
over almost all tlie Ignited States. Flo-
rists who eoiii|ilaiii would do well to
remember that in the apparel trade bath-
ing suits are the only ones that sell in
such weatlicr. We could expect nothing
else tiian that the soiling end of the
flower business would be dull.

Charles W. Johnson, secretary of the
Chrysanthemum Society of America, has
just mailed to tlic members the proceed-
ings of tiio fiftcentli annual meeting, hold
at Philadoii)liia last November. It is a
pamj)hlot of thirty-two pages, with a
portrait of President Vert as a frontis-
piece, and contains lists of varieties dis-
seminated last year and a review of the-
work of the examining committees, which
was published from week to week in The
Review last autumn. The list of mem-
bers shows 109 names.

The Florists' Hail Association never
has advertised its advantages in such
a way as to bring them to the attention
of the entire body of the trade; instead,
it has relied largely on word-of-mouth
advertising. The Review, therefore, reg-
ularly receives, from persons not thor-
oughly informed about the Hail Associa-
tion, inquiries regarding such insurance
as the association offers. That there is
room for much growth is shown by the
fact that these inquiries have been con-
siderably more numerous this summer
than ever before.

IS COAL CHEAPER?

When F. S. Peabody, chairman of the
Committee on Coal Production in the
Council of National Defense, wrote to
The Review about its article on the fix-
ing of coal prices, this'paper replied to
the effect that the only result of the
widely heralded "reduction" of prices
had been to affirm previously existing
high prices. The letters appeared in
The Review of July 26.

In reply Mr. Peabody wrote:

I shall appreciate very much your giving me
the names of any operators or wholesale com-
panies asking prices in excess of those estab-
lished as tentative, a list of which I sent you
with my previous letter.

The Review, in reply to the above, in-
sisted:

That is not the point. The agreement, widely
heralded as a reduction in fuel prices, afforded
our subscribers no reduction at all. Responsible
florists had been buying prior to the agree-
ment at not more than the agreement prices.
The agreement has served only to affirm prices
this trade regards as extortionate.

Large Chicago growers in the spring
made eontracts for Pocahontas coal for
the year at $3 per ton at the mine.
Smaller buyers have had to pay middle-
men's profits. The condition today is
illustrated by the following paragraph
from the Coal Trade Journal, New
York:

Trading in the local bituminous market has
been at low ebb during the week, because there
has been little to trade with. Practically all of
the soft coal coming to tidewater is being applied
on contracts or is being held, usually in boats,
for bunker orders in the offshore trade, there
being no price restrictions on this business. Some
middle houses are getting a small tonnage from
their regular connections on the basis of $3 net
at the mines, but to go into the open market and
buy freely at that price is impossible, and to
I)ay more would be a violation of the Washington
agreement.

The government 's war committees are

composed of men from the industries

with which they deal. The Review

hopes to see the consumers represented

the next time an agreement is made to

reduce coal prices, or other prices.

FLORISTS' CREDIT.

On another page of The Review this
week appears a letter from the secre-
tary of the Florists' Telegraph Delivery
Association which calls for comment.

' ' A goodly number of retail florists
are absolutely unreliable," says Mr.
Pochelon, "and never intend to pay a
bill thoy contract."

Tiie Review believes the statement
overdrawn and in no way justified by
the facts.

In an experience of some twenty
years dealing exclusively with florists
the publishers of The Review have come
in contact with only one man whom
they believe to have been deliberately
dishonest. Against that man The Re-
view supplied the evidence that put
him in the penitentiary, but against the
rest of those who failed to meet their
obligations, nothing worse can be said
than that they failed to find the i)ot of
jiold when thev reached the end of their
rainbow. They would have paid if they
could.

There is danger that ]\Ir. Pochelon
will give the impression that the
florists' trade is a trade of dead beats,
only a minute fraction of the total
number engaged in it having placed
themselves where they are held to the
straight path by the firm hand of the
F. T. D. That is a wrong impression.
Florists in this respect are no worse
than the rest of humanity; indeed, it is
the belief of The Review that they are
distinctly above the average of man-
kind.

Nor does The Review believe that
the business methods of florists are less
exact than those of other people, al-
though this paper freely admits that
there is room for great improvement.
But ther« are extenuations. Book-
keeping is drudgery for the man who
works all day at more urgent tasks; the
importance of finaneial management is
little appreciated by those accustomed
to carrying most of the details of their
business in their heads; the present-day
need for prompt settlement of bills is
not realized by those who always have
got along the other way, paying when
they can. But there is progress. As
the trade grows beyond the one-man
stage the personal element becomes less
and less a factor and the business must
be conducted by and be judged by the
rules of merchandising that apply in
larger trades.

Only we hope we of the trade will not
handicap our own progress by spreading
the idea that we are bad people to
trust.

WHAT HAVE YOU?

Note the Wanted and For Sale depart-
ment in The Review; the number of ads
and their diversified character show
how well other people must be reading
them. And here is the evidence the
readers have money and the desire to
buy good used articles:

I sold my used tubular boiler the same day the
T)aper came out, thanks to The Review. — W. F.
Dintleman, Bensenville, 111., July 28, 1917.

And then this from an advertiser who
offered new apparatus:

Please discontinue our ad for the Detroit re-
turn trap, as it has been sold through The Re-
view, which certainly gave us prompt and sat-
isfactory results. — Rollins Supply Co., Chicago,
July 30, 1917.

Wonder if the maker of the Detroit

return traps has anv of them he would

like to sell?

THE RIGHT IDEA.

Lloyd C. Stark, the new president of
the American Association of Nursery-
men, apparently appreciates that the
national organizations representing the
various branches of the trade have not
done good team work, as he writes:
' ' The nursery, florist and seed associa-
tions should work in closer cooperation,
because, when all is said and done, their
interests are very similar; indeed,
many concerns are engaged in all three
branches. "

CHICAGO.

The Market.

That there is no complaint to be
found about the general condition of the
wholesale cut flower market, is the con-
sensus among the wholesalers. Al-
though business may perhaps be con-
sidered to be at its midsummer dullest,
there is a fairly strong and insistent
demand from out of town, which keeps
shippers moderately busy. The end of
last week may be said to have been un-
usually good for this season, wdth July
29 as the outstanding day. Business
held up fairly well July 30, but a notice-
able decrease was felt July 31. The
heat for the last few days has been
terrific and this has had its effect on
buying as well as on the quality of the
flowers. Really good stock is not
abundant and it finds a ready sale, but
there is a considerable quantity of in-
ferior quality stock arriving which it

|UR Gladioli are locally grown, by a specialist in cut flowers,
not by a man whose first idea is a crop of bulbs. The
early varieties are ready in quantity— we have a large supply
of all the best sorts, the old favorites
and newer kinds that we believe are an im-
provement.

We call special attention to Myrtle, which is here offered
in quantity for the first time. It is the most pleasing shade
of pink and it affords more open flowers at one time than
any other gladiolus. Fine stock at $5.00 per 100.

AMERICAN BEAUTIES

Iq addition to a large stock of long-stemmed Beauties that are
fine quality for the season, we now have a large crop of short Beau-
ties cut from young plants. These are extremely popular at from
$4.00 to $8.00 per 100.

SUMMER ROSES

If you think your trade won't buy Roses in summer, it is be-
cause you have not offered them Analing's Roses. Show our stock
and the public will buy it every day in the year. We are now ready
with large crops of fine Ophelia, Milady, Sunburst, Ward and Hoos-
ier Beauty, cut from young plants — and of course we have the usual
large daily supply of Mrs. Russell.

Plenty of Short Roses, good stock, our selection of varieties, at (IS.OO per 1000

is found difficult to move at even the
greatest concessiojis.

American Beauties are hardly a fac-
tor in the market, as there is but a
small supply coming in. What stock
does arrive, however, is readily dis-
posed of. Good roses, of all varieties,
were not plentiful, but moved well. A
slight shortage of Eussell, which still
retains its supreme popularity, was
noticed at times in some houses, but
they could fill their needs in others.
All roses may be sard in a greater or
less degree to show the effects of the
heat.

Carnations have about run their
course. Hardly any stock arrives and
with this shortening the demand also
has fallen off almost entirely. Valley
is not plentiful, as little forcing is be-
ing done. Orchids remain scarce.

There were considerable quantities of
Easter lilies to be seen about the mar-
ket, but they had only a small sale.
A moderate supply of rubrum lilies is
also arriving.

Gladioli are more plentiful, and good
quality stock is in strong demand at
good prices. A few stocks arrive, but
they are not in much demand. Sweet
peas, also, are only represented by a
little poor stock. Astfers are more
plentiful, but the quality on the whole
is poor. There are many daisies, but
they are not in large demand. Peonies
have about reached the end of their sea-
son. Centaureas sell only fairly well.
Snapdragons are of poor quality and
move slowly.

city gas and water works. Of the
80,000 square feet of factory space
nearly 70,000 are main floor and room
for about 1,000 workmen is afforded.
Pana is about eighty miles from St.
Louis.

Various Notes.

The majority of growers have been
steadily reducing the number of varie-
ties grown, some of them now having
only two or three sorts of roses or a
half dozen varieties of carnations, but
at J. A. Budlong's it is considered good
policy to cling to a considerable num-
ber of varieties each of which has proved
profitable in its season. This establish-
ment probably grows more varieties of
roses than any other in this district.
The sorts planted for next season are
Mrs. Russell, Lady Alice Stanley, Mrs.
Wm. R. Hearst, Sunburst, Champ Wei-
land, Mrs. Aaron Ward, Hoosier

Beauty, Milady, Double Wliite Killar-
ney, Killarney Brilliant, Ophelia and
Double Pink Killarney. Of the corsage
roses George Elger, Baby Doll, Evelyn
Nesbit and Cecile Brunner have been
benched. It will be noted that Ameri-
can Beauty and Killarney are not in the
list.

The 5-story warehouse of the John
C. Moninger Co., which was destroyed
by fire on New Year's eve, is being re-
built this summer. The lower floor has
a 17-foot ceiling and is to be used as a
foundry.

There are two things that impress
the eastern florist when he visits Cali-
fornia, said C. L. Washburn, in speak-
ing of his recent trip to the coast. The
first of these is the high quality of the
outdoor flowers, which are not surpassed
anywhere; the second, the low prices
at which flowers sell, carnations being
sold at retail for as low as 5 cents per
bunch of 100.

H. C. Wendland and family are sum-

comes in once a week or so to spend
a day or two in the city and at Elin-
hurst.

So successful did Swain Nelson «S: Sons
Co. find its peony sliow tliat a display
of flowers of liardy perennials has been
held at its oflices in the Marquette
buildings, backed by considerable news-
paper advertising to get the public in.

A. Lange does not stop pushing be-
cause it is the middle of the summer.
Finding a rose bargain last week, he ad-
vertised a sale of dollar boxes, each
containing five dozen roses. The same
ad offered longer roses at 25 cents, to
$2 per dozen. He moved a large
quantity.

As president of the board of county
supervisors Peter Reinberg has allied
himself with the forces intent on mak-
ing Cook county dry on the Sabbath.

The George Wittbold Co. has been
busy working up stock of Boston ferns
and recently had 200,000 ready for the
market.

After having spent so many years in
the flower business in Chicago, H. W.
Rogers, formerly with Weiland & Riseh,
found it impossible to keep away from
the trade after Mrs. Rogers inherited
a competence and they removed to De-
troit. He is -with the G. H. Taepke Co.

That he conducts "the only real
flower store in Chicago that has no ice-
box" is the only boast Walter Adams
«ver makes. He believes it is good
policy to have no refrigerator, because,

he says, people feel sure then they get
fresh flowers.

Miss Nettie Parker, who is secretary
of A. T. Pyfer & Co., plans to attend
the S. A. F. convention at New York
on an eastern vacation trip she will
make in company with her sister.

Visitors.

Miss Mae M. Carroll, of Norwood, O.,
possibly the only woman bulb merchant,
lias been at the Auditorium hotel this
week, on a trip combining business and
pleasure.

S. S. Pennock, of the S. S. Pennock

Chicago July 30, on his way to Denver.
Mr. Pennock expects to be back in Chi-
cago for a slightly longer visit in about
a week.

John Stuppy, of the Stuppy Floral

of Independence, Kan., were visitors

things would be stagnant were it not
for funeral work, which has been fairly
good up to this writing.

The new-crop asters are beginning
to arrive and the blooms move rather
well. The quantity, however, as yet is
negligible, and the stems are short.
Sweet peas are still with us, although
the stems are short and the quality is
only medium. There are good snap-
dragons, which move as well as could be
expected. Lilies have shortened in
supply to some extent, but they are not
selling any better than they have for
the last few weeks. Valley remains
scarce and the quality is not what it
should be, but the daily cut nevertheless
finds a ready sale, despite the condition

The Market.

The intense li(>at has depressed the
cut flower market.

The .sup])ly of gladioli has increased
heavily, beyond the ability of the buy-
ers to take them. Prices have fallen,
despite the fact that the quality of the
blooms is excellent. Asters have also
increased, but tliere are more poor asters
in proportion to the good ones than
there were a week ago. Roses are more
abundant in the lower than upper
grades. Easter lilies continue plentiful.
There are not man}' small white flowers
just now, but there are plenty of colored
flowers from outdoors — the showy kind
suggestive of old-fashioned gardens.
They sell rather jtoorly, at low prices.
Taken all in all, .July has been quite as
good as usual from a business stand-
point, i)robably a little ahead of last
year.

Summer Chat.

Adolph Farenwald, the well-known
rose specialist, now president of the
Philadelphia Florists' Club, is speaking.
"It does not," he says, "take brains
to grow flowers successfully. It takes
conditions — good soil, good food and,
above all, good water. It takes brains
to run a business, to sell the product, to
pay the bills. It does not take brains
to grow flowers. Take my own case.

Those ground shoots that Liberty pro-
duced in winter were the result of good
conditions. Since then the Si)ringfield
AVater Co. has changed the source of its
water supply. It got its water from
Neshanning creek. The water was so
muddy that tons of alum were used to
clarify it, and the alum poisoned the
roses. My plants would not grow. Now
we have good water and our plants are
doing better. Then take soil that has
been used in the greenhouse, seeded over
outside and then brought into the green-
house again. Plants will not bloom \('ell
in it. They will grow, but not as they
should. They require virgiu soil. No,

it does not take brains to grow plants; it
takes conditions, proper conditions."

"I think," Leo Niessen gently inter-
posed, "close personal attention is what
counts.' '

Mr. Farenwald evidently intended to
lay special stress on judgment or fore-
siglit as indispensable where hard work
is to receive i)roper returns.

It was Mr. Ladley who so aptly worded

B. Eschner is pleased that both im-

at the M, Eice Co. establishment.

The August meeting of the Florists'
Club has been postponed owing to the
sale of Horticultural hall.

John Burton returned to his home in
Wyndmoor July 25 after a five weeks'
residence in St. Timothy's hospital,
following his operation for appendicitis.
Mr. Burton's improvement has been
slow but steady. He is now considered
as safely out of the woods. Mr. Bur-

from the same hospital much improved
in health.

entitled to exemption.

Eugene Bernheimer caught a 75-pound

The Florists' Club.

Bridgeport florists recently formed a
club and have found it helpful, not
only as a means of getting together for
a social time, but as a place where sub-
jects of interest to the trade can be
discussed. No rooms have been secured
for the meetings, it having been de-
cided to meet at the members' estab-
lishments for the present.

The July meeting was held at Fred
Kolb's place on Capital avenue. At the
meeting it was decided to have an out-
ing and sheep roast. Mr. Kolb tendered
the use of his grounds, which are ideal
for the occasion.

Various Notes.

The downtown stores are closing at
5 p. m. during July and August, and the
greenhouse men also are closing earlier.
All have had good business this summer.

Robert Hawkins recently made sev-
eral designs for the funeral of a promi-
nent resident. He reports a good busi-
ness in July. Several of Mr. Hawkins'
employees are away on vacations.

An automobile, driven by a woman,
skidded recently in front of The Rosery
and the car crashed through the store's
show window. George Pflomm says he
is always ready to welcome the ladies,
but would rather that they leave their
ears outside. Funeral work and trade
in general has been excellent at The
Eosery.

James E. Beach had a church wed-
ding decoration that called for large
quantities of cut flowers, ferns and
paJms.

Julius C. J. Eeck, of the Brooklawn
Conservatories, reports that funeral
work has been keeping everything in

Carl Reck, of John Eeck & Son, is on

Miss Jennings' private estate at Fair-
field, Conn., was thrown open to the
public for a week recently. The rose
garflen holds a great mass of pink and
white ramblers on trellises on either side
of an artificial lake, while Mrs. Aaron

*■ titles awd much of it goes to waste on

they are offered at sacrifice prices to
clear. Good quality stock is bringing
from $1 to $1.50. The daily shipments
of roses are not extra large at this time,
but as soon as the blooms arrive they
open completely, and consequently the
sales are not so good. Francis Scott
Key is one of the best sellers. Ophelia
and Double White Killarney move fairly
well, but prices are low on all stock.

There is a mammoth supply of sweet
peas in all shades, but the stock does
not move fast. Bachelor's buttons and
calendulas are popular at this time for
window decorations. There are many
Easter lilies, but there is little demand
for them. Rubrum lilies have made
their first appearance, but they are soft
and practically unsalable. Achillea and
gypsophila are used largely in baskets.
Early Market asters in pink, white and
lavender are making their first appear-
ance this week. Outdoor gladioli are
coming in well now, but chiefly in the
red shades. Candytuft, Shasta daisies,
gaillardias and coreopsis are in large
supply. The receipts of greens are large.

The Market.

"We have experienced the hottest and
most enervating weather of the year,
and this has made business quiet. The
quality of indoor flow^ers has deteriorat-
ed and the supply has shortened. A fair
number of American Beauties arrive,
but the call for them is meager. The
ordinary Killarneys now are poor and
hardly salable, but the double white
sport, Ophelia, Stanley, Miller and Kai-
serin still are quite good and are realiz-
ing fair prices. The intense heat is fin-
ishing the carnations, which now are
small and in many cases spidery. Most
of the carnation specialists have
stopped sending flowers, being busy re-
planting. Asters are somewhat more
plentiful, but do not sell with their ac-
customed snap early in the season.
Local outdoor gladioli are not yet seen
except in small lots, but good flowers
from the south are arriving.

Sweet peas are becoming short-
stemmed on account of the long drought,
but the flowers are clean and move quite
well. Lilium giganteum is still far too
abundant. There are supplies of spe-
ciosum album and rubrum, auratum and
regale coming in. Sweet sultans are
rather popular; bachelor's buttons quite
the reverse. Valley continues scarce
and high. Cattleyas are somewhat more
])lentiful. Miscellaneous flowers in-
clude helichrysums, cosmos, salpiglossis,
globe amaranths, rudbeckias and Golden
(ilow mums. No one wants mums, how-
over, at this season. Gypsophila is, in
large measure, taking tlie place of as
paragus now.

Gardeners' and Florists' Picnic.

The annual picnic of the Gardeners'
and Florists' Club, which was held at
Cunningham park. East Milton, July 25,
proved to be the most successful outing
in all respects and was the most largely
attended affair in the club 's history.
Weather conditions were perfect, there
being a cloudless sky, with the tem-
perature moderate. A large number ar-
rived at the picnic grounds as early as
10 o'clock and nearly all stayed until
the prizes had been distributed, at 6
p. m.

Great interest centered in the base-

ball and football games. The commer-
cial baseball nine, captained by George
B. Palmer, defeated the private garden-
ers' team with comparative ease, but
the latter, vs^ith their superior weight,
brawn and muscle, made short work of
their opponents when it came to the
grilling tug of war, the last event on the
day's program. The married ladies did
not show their usual prowess in the
baseball match and were rather easily
defeated by their unmarried sisters.
Tlie soccer football game proved to be
a strenuous one. J. H. Ness put through
both goals for Captain Miller's team.
The children's races were heavily con-
tested, there being from twenty-two to
twenty-six entries in some of the
classes.

The club provided sandwiches, bever-
ages, ice cream and boxes of chocolates.
Most of the married members brought
their ovra lunches and there seemed to
be an abundance for everyone. Prizes
were presented by James Methvcn at
the conclusion of the sports, which
everyone voted to be a most delightful
occasion. Members and friends were
present from Pennsylvania, Providence,
E. I.; Lowell, Swampscott, Fall River,
Taunton, Hingham, Natick, North Eas-

Various Notes.

July 23 a fire starting at the establish-
ment of the New England Nursery Co.,
of Bedford, destroyed two buildings and
partly wrecked two others, also destroy-
ing the Shady Hill station of the Boston
& Maine railroad, which was used by all
visitors to the nursery. The fire started
in the pump house of the nursery, caus-
ing a collapse of the water tank and
making pumping machinery useless. It
spread to the packing shed and de-
stroyed a carload of lumber and 500 hot-

be doe to defective wiring; the estimat-
ed damages are $10,000,

Mann Bros., of Eandolph, grow a
large variety of summer flowers and
their stand at the Exchange is always
attractive. At present they have fine
batches of Lilium speciosum album and
melpomene, rudbeckias, cosmos, heli-
chrysums, asters, salpiglossis, globe
amaranths, candytuft and gladioli.

The Welch Bros. Co. reports business
about as usual. They have been receiv-
ing Golden Glow mums for over three
weeks from one of their growers, but
few will buy them at this season. Gla-
dioli of exceptional quality are arriv-
ing, while sweet peas, roses and asters
all are good.

A. A. Pembroke, of North Beverly,
shipped in his last carnations of the sea-
son July 28 and George Gordon, who
handles his flowers, will now be out of
the market until fall. Mr. Pembroke
will plant charily of novelties, relying
largely on such varieties as Matchless,
Benora, Alice, Pink Delight and a few
others of proven excellence.

Patrick Welch has handled a large
quantity of Farquhar's Lilium regale of
late and still is receiving shipments of
this beautiful summer lily. Quite a num-
ber have been shipped long distances.
He also has a fine lot of speciosum lilies,
asters, gladioli, roses and sweet peas.

The draft is affecting the majority of
the growers, both on commercial estab-
lishments and on private estates. It is
causing a still greater shortage of green-
house assistants. A great many of the
latter enlisted prior to the draft. This
shortage will be relieved in some meas-
ure by the closing of numbers of private
greenhouses and curtailment on others,
which is reaching quite serious propor-
tions in Massachusetts. The coal situa-
tion is responsible for the majority of
the shut-downs.

Henry W. Vose, of Hyde Park, is
shipping in splendid lots of giganteum
lilies and asters. Whatever Mr. Vose
takes in hand he does well.

George W. Hamer, the genial and pop-
ular assistant manager of the Flower
Exchange, left July 28 for a fortnight's
vacation on the North Shore.

The management of the Montrose
Greenhouses has increased its planting
of Stanley roses for next season, but is
not trying any novelties. At present a

nice lot of Killarney, White Killarney,
Stanley and Black Beauty, locally called
Crimson Queen, are being cut.

The usual fishing trip in Boston har-
bor by the growers and salesmen of the
wholesale markets will not be held this
year because of the war restrictions of
the government. A trip to some inland
lake or river may be arranged later.

David Welch thinks he will spend his
vacation at home this year and may
have to forgo his annual exploits as a
cavalryman. Business with D, & E. J.
Welch is down to the midsummer basis.

The annual phlox and gladiolus show
will be held at Horticultural hall Au-
gust 11 and 12. There are fifteen classes
allotted to gladioli, with prizes ranging
from $40 downward.

At the establishment of K. & J. Far-
quhar & Co. summer sales of vegetable
seeds are good, with many lines sold
out. There is a large call for cabbage,
celery, strawberry and other plants and
a great call for sprayers and insecti-
cides. Aphis has attacked potatoes and
other root crops, in addition to trees and
shrubs.

Little S. A. F. convention talk is
heard here as yet, but there will be a
fair attendance at New York from here,
the water route being the one most fa-
vored.

At the Park street store of Thomas
Galvin, Inc., the July business has been
quite good. A number of the staff are
away on vacations, but funeral and
other work has kept those at home busy.
Window decorations now are mainly
ferns, palms, aquatics and hardy herba-
ceous plants.

Carbone at this season uses lilies, lark-
spurs and aquatics mainly in the win-
dows, the stock being arranged lightly
and gracefully. This store is doing a
large business in garden furniture and
other accessories.

The Market.

Business last week was dull and al-
though the supply of cut flowers was
comparatively small, it did not clean
up. Asters and roses were in greatest
demand. Gladioli are in heavy supply,
but the choice flowers bring $6 per hun-
dred. America and Augusta are the
best sellers, while many of the Mrs.
Francis King variety are dumped for
want of demand. Local carnations are
small and have short stems. The best
stock is shipped in.

There was a shortage of valley and
orchids. While the demand for these
two items is not large, it is steady.
There is a large supply of outdoor stock
coming, the recent rains having had a
good effect on it. All kinds of greens,
especially smilax and asparagus, are in
demand.

The Club Picnic.

The twenty-fourth annual picnic of
the St. Louis Florists' Club was held at
Eamona park July 26, and it was by
far the most successful in the history
of the club. Nearly 800 florists, their
families and friends attended* Mr, J.
Pluvius tried several times to put a
damper on the festivities, but Old Sol
won out and the day was almost per-
fect.

One of the principal events of the day
was an automobile parade, which pre-

ceded the picnic. It started from the
wholesale district at noon and forty
elaborately decorated machines were in
the line, which was headed by President
Jules Bourdet. The route led through
the principal business streets to the
park. Everything was in readiness for
the picnickers when they arrived.

Entries were numerous in the ten
athletic events and some of them were
run off in heats. This was especially so
in the contests for women and girls.
The results follow:

Novelty r.ace— O. K. Sanders, first.

Fifty-yard dash for boys — Louis Weinberg,
first; G. Cerny, second.

NlgRer baby contest for boys under 12 years —
D. Dasey, first; D. Wells, second.

Flags of all nations for girls under 12 years —
Miss VVelsser, first with American flag; Marge
Wors, second with Belgian flag.

Rail throwing contest for girls — Miss Chadaey,
first; Violet Furber, second.

The tug of war between the growers
and retailers resulted in a technical
draw, although the growers, captained
by W. J. Pilcher, won. Courit von Hoff-
man, who led the retailers, protested the
results on the ground that the growers
added two men to their team while the
contest was in progress. The protest
was allowed and the cigars divided be-
tween the two teams.

There also were races for single wom-
en and for married women, but the
modest correspondent looked away and
did not see who won.

The most exciting event of the day
was the ball game between the whole-
salers and retailers, the former led by
Otto Bruenig and the latter by Count
von Hoffman. Frank Gorly was the
umpire. Mr. Gorly had, perhaps, more
excitement out of the game than any-
one else, as he nearly lost his fancy shirt
through having it pulled by excited
players of both sides during arguments I

over his decisions. The final score was
15 to 14 in favor of the retailers.

Dinner was served following the ball
game and during the evening there was
dancing to the music of Arthur Beyer's
orchestra. *The outing was arranged by
the trustees of the club, J. J. Windier,
W. W. Ohlweiler and W. A. Eowe. The
parade was in charge of the club's pub-
licity committee, of which W. C. Smith
is the chairman.

Among those who had automobiles in
the parade were the Bourdet Floral Co.,
the Flower Shop, Pelletier Floral Co.,
F. C. Weber, Joseph Witek, L. Bau-

for membership in the S. A. F. Several
new members also were secured for the
club. ^

Charles Wors, as usual, presided over
the attendance guessing table. The
prize was won by Thomas Kirkwood, Jr.,
whose guess was 777.

President W. A. Eowe and Secretary
Joseph Deutschmann, of the County
Growers' Association, brought their
families and said that they had an en-
joyable day. The association was well
represented.

Fred Foster came alone. He in-
formed questioners that his two sons
have entered the service of their coun-
try, one in the marine corps and the
other in the navy.

George Madsen, of Alton; G. "W. Gros-
sart and Henry Emunds, of Belleville,
and Edwin Denker, of St. Charles, were
among the visitors from out of town.

George Waldbart and his whole force
of employees were among the first to
reach the picnic grounds.

Fred Grossart, a former member of
the club and now a resident of Omaha,
Neb., and Allen Humason, representing
the Raedlein Basket Co., Chicago, were
there and said they were glad of it.

crop. The output will be marketed by
Henry G. Berning.

Secretary-Treasurer, C. B. Kendel, Cleveland, O.

Word has been received that French
bulbs are afloat.

The weather to date continues favor-
able for the Chicago onion set crop.

The Leonard Seed Co., Chicago, re-
ports a heavy demand for turnip seed.

Excavation work has been completed
by the John A. Salzer Seed Co., La
Crosse, Wis., for a 4-story brick and con-
crete building, 63x163 feet. When com-
pleted the building will be used for the
company's office and mailing room.

Charles Dickinson, of the Albert
Dickinson Co., Chicago, is president of
the Aero Club of Illinois, and is devoting
a large part of his time to the affairs of
the two airdromes the government has
established in his state for the training of
army aviators.

The trade is issuing its summer cata-
logues of fall bulbs, later than usual but
in much the same form as heretofore, indi-
cating general confidence that imports will
come. Prices quoted are high, especially
on French bulbs, some of the books omit-
ting figures on Paper Whites.

The Leonard Seed Co., Chicago, is
erecting a new warehouse for onion sets
at Des Plaines, 111. The building will be
entirely of tile and concrete, absolutely
fireproof, and will have a capacity of
about 75,000 bushels. John C. Leonard
is on a western trip, inspecting crops.

Chicago seedsmen were visited last
week by C. Herbert Coy, president of the
Coy Seed Co., Valley, Neb., who, accom-
panied by members of his family, is
going by easy stages to New York in
his Moline-Knight. Mr. Coy says that
so far the crops in his state are doing
well.

Sluis & Groot, Enkhuizen, Holland,
July 3 celebrated the fiftieth anniversary
of the business. Both founders, N. Sluis
and N. Groot, respectively 83 years and
73 years of age, still enjoy excellent
health and are active. The fathers and
grandfathers of both these gentlemen
occupied themselves in seed growing, and
the vegetable and flower seeds of the firm
now are sent to all parts of the world.

The nation-wide campaign for gardens
has made for a tremendous lot of early
green vegetables, as the weather has been
favorable and amateurs have been suc-
cessful. This was strongly felt by the
truck grower for a while, but the market
now is picking up rapidly and there un-
doubtedly will be a strong fall market.
The success of home gardens this year
will undoubtedly tend toward stimulat-
ing efforts in the future.

More than $100,000 and stock in the
L. Teweles Seed Co. are bequeathed to
six children under the terms of the will
of Ludwig Tewelos, tlie veteran seeds-
man of Milwaukee, who died last month
of heart failure. The widow, Mrs. Hari-
ette Teweles, receives $40,000, while nu-
merous relatives are remembered to the
extent of from $500 to $1,000 each. The
business becomes the property of the
five sons, Hugo, Arthur, Max, Oscar and
Edwin Teweles.

American growers of aster seeds are
justified in putting out a capacity acreage
this year. With the German seed out of
the market the demand for home-grown
seed will be greatly increased.

A BANNER SEED SEASON?

Field's Figures Say Yes!

The government estimates that there
are $350,000,000 worth of home gardens
in the United States this summer — a
wealth which seedsmen say represents
the aftermath of the greatest spring
business ever done by their trade.
Never before has an industry been
boomed by a fad or propaganda of such
proportions as that w^hich took the
seedsmen by storm last spring, when the
government, the papers, in fact, every-
body, exhorted the people to plant each
plot and lot to vegetables.

In some cases, of course, the dealer's
greater prosperity was cut short by an
early exhaustion of seed supplies, and
because of ineflScient methods of dis-
tribution or unfavorable weather condi-
tions others suffered; but it is believed,
nevertheless, that the spring business
of 1917 was greatly in excess of that of
any other spring.

Eeports from many quarters inform
that this drive for increased vegetable
production hacked off a big fraction of
the usual flower seed business; but
others say the initiation of vast numbers
of people into amateur gardening car-
ried with it a demand for flower seeds
that offset, or will offset in later years,
this factor. A keen observer suggested
that if the home gardener did not have
flowers, in the fall the florist would be
required to supply him, thus indirectly
increasing the florists' requirements for
seeds of annuals, perennials, etc.

There'll Be Vacations at Field's.

As indicative of its banner year, the
Henry Field Seed Co., of Shenandoah,

and probably less than any other big
seed house in the country.

"Of 'course, we made a good, fair
profit out of the year's business. We do
every year. Nothing startling, but
enough so we can all live pleasantly and
comfortably and decently, and that is
enough for anyone. It takes lots of
the money wc get to pay postage and
pay roll and war taxes and all the rest
of it.

"One thing, we believe in the help
getting their share. We get good help,
pay good wages and try to keep them
happy. We gave them all a raise of
about ten to fifteen per cent July 1,
put in free life insurance for everyone
working for us and gave them a share of
the year's profits again — what we call a
'labor dividend.' "

OPAQXJE SEED PACKETS.

In the report of the committee on
postal laws presented at the recent De-
troit convention attention was drawn
to a matter many seedsmen have over-
looked. The committee said:

"H. M. Earl was instrumental,
through the Pennsylvania congressmen
and senators, in the rescinding of the
post-ofiice order covering the use of
transparent bags, with the jesult that
this order was canceled, and we are now
able to use bags of any color or any
degree of opacity that we may choose.
This is a valuable decision, as many of
us found it a real hardship to be com-
pelled to use a bag that met the re-
quirements of the Post-office Depart-
ment as to transparency."

THE BRITISH SEED SITUATION.

In view of the close alliance between
England and the United States and the
probability that the problems of tlie
trade in England may soon be the prol)-
lems of the trade in America, the fol-
lowing from a British trade paper will
be of interest here. It is a statement
of the attitude of the British <,r()\orn-
ment toward the seed trade:

"The government realizes that there
will probably be a serious shortage
of seeds next season, and more especial-
ly of those seeds upon which we depend
for food.

"The authorities do not propose to
take control over the seed trade, as
has been done in the case of some indus-
tries, as it is realized that the seed in-
dustry is too complicated and rof|uires
too much special knowledge to be tack-
led by any politician, or in fact any-
one who has not had a life experience
in it. The board proposes to intervene
in two ways, viz., by assisting seedsmen
to obtain their supplies more expedi-
tiously, and, secondly, by checking
waste.

"With regard to the first, the Horti-
cultural Trades' Association has already
approached the board, pointing out that
shipments of seed from America were
last season delayed as much as tiiree
months, arriving in some cases ;ifter th«
sowing season was over. The same
thing happened with consignmo!its from
Italy and other places. The government
is now prepared to act in tiiis matter
and to intervene to secure shipping fa-
cilities and more prompt delivery. The
shortage is, of course, more or less
world-wide, but it will ease the situa-
tion considerably if what surpluses do
exist can be promptly moved to those
places where the deficiency is greatest.

5 with some of the thrills of "playing the ponies" or "hitting" the stock E

I THIS MIGHT BE CALLED A 100 TO 1 SHOT =

E We have grown a small quantity of cross-bred Antirrhinum seed, E

E produce some winners, as the cross-pollenization was done by one of our E

E is waiting for. Will you be the lucky one to''reiiSe it? S

n One seedling that pleased you and suited your special trade would be wOrth $100.00 E

S to you, and it would be exclusively .vours. And then, there is always the chance of pro- ~

~ ducing a pre eminent rip-snorter of a snapdragon, that would be worth much more. In s

S any case, seed sown this autumn will give you a bench of flowers, every one of which s

^ will be salable. You can't lose. ~

E THE PRICE IS $1.00 PER TRADE PACKET |

S To clinch the bargain, we will include a package af seed of NELROSE, the best Antirrhinum yet E

S introduced, and alitor a dollar bill. Seed ready now, but quantity limited. Better get a move on. ^

orders for .seeds to \w grown ai)road on
contract, as many grievous cases oc-
curred last season, where after making
all arrangements, the wholesale trade
were unable to get delivery of the
goods, and execute orders which had
been taken on the strength of the '.0)1-
tract.

"Then as to waste: Everyone in the
trade knows that even the professional
gardener usually buys and sows at least
double as much seed as is really neces
sary. As a remedy, the board proposes
to start to educate the public to plant
fewer seeds. In spite of the fact that
it may at first sight seem somewhat
against their own interests, the govern-
ment expects great assistance from the
seed trade in this matter. It is ques-
tionable whether waste really benefits
any trade in the long run."

LANCASTER, PA.

The Lancaster Florists' Club held its
,luly meeting as guests of C. M. Weaver'
and Elmer J. Weaver, near Eonks sta-
tion. Thirty florists went to see the
Weaver aster planting, which consists
of 90,000 plants. Many thousands of
blooms have already been cut and have
brought prices that were worth while.
The Weavers have grown asters for
many years, never replanting on the
same field until seven years have
elapsed. They save their own seed, and
have something to show for it, a su-
perior strain of blooms. Vick's Laven-
der Pink is being tried, and the visitors
were pleased with its lovely tint and
large blooms.

Charles M. has a house of peas 50x400,
in which the plants now are three inches
in height. Many pompon mums are be-
ing grown in connection with sweet
peas and are in fine condition. On his
home grounds he has many tuberous-
rooted begonias, a collection not sur-
passed in this part of the country. His
beds of the newer cannas are superb.

After passing around cigars we in-
spected the houses of Elmer J., where
quantities of tomatoes have been a
feature for some time, the best ones
going to the Boston market and the sec-
onds disposed of locally, also at ex-
tremely good figures. A new house
62x400 will be planted to carnations,
the stock in the field being in good
condition.

Eeturning to the Weaver home, the
meeting was called to order by Presi-
dent Schroyer. Those of the members
who attended the Beading florists'
picnic spoke in glowing terms of the
royal time shown them. On motion of
M. J. Brinton, the club voiced a pro-
test against the announced intention of
the express companies to place an em-
bargo on shipments of flowers at cer-
tain seasons of the year; also that of
overruling the rule calling for delivery
of flowers in twenty-four hours after
receipt.

B. F. Barr invited the florists to
meet in August at his home and the in-
vitation was accepted with thanks.
Harry G. Haverstick, formerly with M.
S. Hershey, of Hershey, Pa., but now
with B. F. Barr & Co., was elected a
member of the club.

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 earllness of flowering.
Sown at the same time as other Pansies, they begin flowering the early part of Marcn
or as soon as the snow is oft the ground, many times having four or Ave large flowers
to a plant, when all other Pansies are only showing buds. The flowers are large, well
formed and fragrant.

14. WINTER SUN. Golden yellow with

dark eye.

15. ICE KING. Silvery white, with dark

eye.

16. CELESTIAL, QUEEN. Light or sky

blue.

500 seeds 25c. 1000 seeds 40c, % oz. $1.10, % oz. $2.00, oz. $7.50.

20. PRINCESS. (The New Upright Pansy.) This strain Is entirely distinct from all
others. It Is absolutely compact, upright growing. The flowers are mostly
blotched and frilled like the Masterpiece, of good form and heavy velvety tex-
ture on heavy stem carried well above the foliage. Attractive by brilliancy
of its colors.

40. GIANT BATH'S EMPRESS. The finest of fancy English Pansies. Flowers are
very large, mostly frilled and blotched and of great substance and the colors
are brilliant and varied.

22. GIANT KENILWORTH STRAIN. The flowers are of perfect form
and substance; many of the Immen.se flowers are from 3V4- to 4-ln.
It is a striking collection of beautiful colors and markings, rich
with shades of red, brown, bronze, mahogany and many others too
numerous to mention. Light, Medium or Dark Mixtures.

24. GIANT KENILWORTH SHOW. An extra fine strain Of large flowers;
the immense flowers are of circular form and great substance. A
beautiful collection of colors and markings.

26. GIANT KENILWORTH CUT FLOWER MIXTURE. Is a distinct class
by itself, surpassing all other strains as a cut flower for inside or
outside growing; the large flowers are carried erect above the
foliage on heavy stems, 7 or 8 in. loni?. In the most graceful man-
ner, and stand the hot, dry weather well.

28. GIANT MASTERPIECE. A remarkable type; the curled, wavy petals
giving the flower a double appearance; large flowers of great sub-
stance, on long, strong stem.

80. GIANT THREE AND I<TVE BLOTCHED PANSIES. A superb mix-
ture. Flowers large and of circular form and of great substance.
The display of coloring is unsurpassed. A combination of almost
every shade of rich, velvety colors; reds are particularly conspicu-
ous; the petals being distinctly marked with three or flve large,
dark blotches.

82. GIANT PARISIAN. The flowers are of enormous size and beautifully
marked, mostly flve dark blotches on white and yellow ground; an
unusually showy mixture.

34. GIANT BRONZE. A flne mixture of all shades of velvety brown,
bronze, Havana brown, mahogany and copper shades.

80. TRIUMPH OF GIANT. Remarkably beautiful. The imposing flve-
spotted flowers on long, vigorous stalks surmount the foliage in the
most graceful manner, are of enormous size, perfectly round and
of unusual substance. The individual petals are very broad and
cover each other In such a manner as to make the flowers appear
almost double, the border of every petal being conspicuously curled.
The plants are of a robust growth and form compact bushes of a
round shape.

70. ORCHID-FLOWERED, Mixed. A dwarf,
free bloomer, with a range of delicate
colors that do not exist in any other
Pansies; a remarkable combination of
light rose, shell pink, blush mauve,
fawn, light brown, orange and chamois.

Long Beach, Cal. — H. N. Lowe, of
Lowe's Flower Shop, 220 West Ocean
avenue, says business has been quite
good this summer, although it largely is
funeral work. There has been, however,
an increased call for corsage bouquets.
Ophelia and Eussell roses are the popu-
lar greenhouse flowers of the season,
but zinnias, dahlias and asters are fine
and sell well. Amaryllis Belladonna
soon will be available in quantities and
is a popular flower here.

LOS ANGELES, CAL.

The Market.

Cut flowers still are scarce, the sup-
ply not equaling the demand in carna-
tions, roses, valley, orchids and asters.
Gladioli continue plentiful and the flow-
ers are good. Tlie same can be said of
centaureas and rose-pink .tftsters: The
lighter shades of asters are scarce and
of poor quality. Dahlias are making
their appearance in the market and
seem to be meeting with favor among
the retail florists.

The warm weather that has prevailed
here for the last month has brought on
a fine growth of plumosus, which can
now be obtained in any quantity.

Various Notes.

H. E. Eichards, of S. Murata & Co.,
who was operated on July 20 at the
Clara Barton hospital, is getting along
nicely and will probably be up and
around in a week or ten days.

L. H. Freeman, 212 West Fourth
street, has sold his retail store to a Mr.
Wilson. Mr. Wilson has a large personal
acquaintance in Los Angeles and should
do well in his new undertaking. We
understand that Mr. Freeman is going
on a large ranch at Tehachapi.

A. Beverley, of Santa Barbara, was in
town last week making purchases for
his Santa Barbara nursery.

Charles Gutting, of the Superior
Nursery Co., is cutting some nice dah-
lias at his dahlia farm at 1417 East
Fifty-ninth street. He has some new
varieties which are prize-winners, but
has not had a large enough cut yet to
begin to supply the demand.

Mrs. A. M. Wilton, who has so suc-
cessfully managed the retail store of
C. H. KoUe, El Paso, Tex., for the last
five or six years, is spending her sum-
mer vacation on the coast, and is now
located at the Northern hotel. She ex-
pects to stay here for a month or more.

H. N. Gage is cutting some fine gla-
dioli at his new ranch at Baldwin Park,

Dr. C. H. Castle, 2943 Walton avenue,
has been so successful with his bulbs
this year that he is going into the busi-
ness on an extensive scale next year,
having bought all the remaining stock
of the Leedham Bulb Co., of Santa
Cruz.

Thomas Kobata has completed two
houses and has them filled with carna-
tions. He has already commenced to
cut from the new stock, which is all
contracted to the L. A. Floral Co.

C. B. Knickman, of McHutchison &
Co., New York, is in town in the inter-
est of his firm.

Mrs. Bessie A. Bease, of Grossm<int,

Cal., is now able to supply Egyptian
lotus in any quantity. A sample of
these blooms was brought in today and
they are the finest we have ever seen,
a beautiful shade of pink and nearly
ten inches across when open. F. S.

PORTLAND, ORE.

The Market.

There was a marked increase in busi-
ness last week and most of the stock
that reached the market was cleared.
Eoses and carnations are scarce, and
the hot weather has about finished the
outdoor crop of sweet peas. There also
do not seem to be the quantities of
gladioli and lilies there were in former
years. Asters are slow in arriving, but
most of the other annuals are plentiful.
No nin had fallen for five weeks, mak-
ing BORditions bad for the growers. The
dahlia producers say their crops are
suffering from the continued drought.

Various Notes.

Martin & Forbes furnished the dec-
orations for the Green-Ladd wedding,
which was the leading society event of
last week.

The Floral Studio has been having
some especially attractive window dis-
plays, featuring the different annuals
which this firm has made popular.

H. H. Beckett, who planted hia
houses in vegetables this spring, says
that his tomatoes have yielded good re-
turns. Preceding this crop he had his
houses filled with peas.

Julius Broetje has a novel iWay of
shading the glass at his range at Court-
ney station. He uses heavy cheese-
cloth, six feet wide, on wooden rollers,
which roll by gravity from the center
of the greenhouses. Wires guide the

rollers, which are immediately beneath
the glass. W. G. W.

SAN FRANCISCO.

The Market.

With the uncertainty of the draft
over and the opening of the city schools,
local florists feel that the demand for
cut flowers will increase during the
month of August. Some improvement
is alrea4^ jP^^^^i indicating that the
quietest 'part of the summer is already
past. The demand last week was more
or less erratic, but the total volume of
business was satisfactory, considering
the season of the year. It is gratify-
ing to the trade that July has been a
good month in comparison with the same
month of other years.

There is a good supply of flowers. The
shipping business is beginning to take
on new life with the advent of asters,
auratum and rubrum lilies. The' asters
are hardly up to standard as yet, but
they are improving rapidly and the east-
ern movement will soon be in full swing.
Chrysanthemums promise well. The
weather is all that can be desired for
growing purposes; the buds are begin-
ning to set and from present indications
the flowers will begin to arrive the lat-
ter part of August.

Ulrich Brunner roses show up better
than any of the other varieties. The
blooms are plentiful and in excellent de-
mand. Carnations are scarce and poor,
as most of the growers are changing
their plants. Sweet peas are not so
much in evidence, either. There is
plenty of seasonable stock to take their
place, however. Gladioli continue to
flood the market and dahlias are rapidly
increasing in supply, many fine speci-
mens being shown. Zinnias are still fine

being handled in quantity are scabiosas,

The supply of valley is about equal to
the demand, while the shortage of or-
chids is even more acute than it was
last week.

Various Notes.

In order to provide better light and

report a strong demand for calla and
freesia bulbs. Miss Hogan, the book-
keeper, has returned from a two weeks'
vacation at Ziegler springs, in Lake
county.

Rubrum lilies are demanding attention
at the Domoto Bros, store. The men are
bringing in some fine flowers and report
a ready market.

Mr. Onishi, of the United Flower &
Supply Co., visited the chrysanthemum
fields down the peninsula last week and
found the plants in excellent condition.
Many of the plants are from three to
four feet in height and the buds are be-
ginning to set nicely. Mr. Onishi counts
on fifty days from the time the buds
set till the flowers arc roadv to cut.

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 Cer-
tificate 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 reddish lavender. Only good sized, flowering bulbs are
offered. PRICE: Per dozen, $3.50; per lOO, $20.00.

METHODS OF PROPAGATION.

[This is the fifth installment of extracts from
a paper road by T. D. Hatfield, of Wellesley,
Mass., at a meeting of tlie Massaeliiisetts Hor-
ticultural Society. The sixth will appear In an
early issue.]

Grapevines are nearly always raised
from cuttings or layers. The youngest
plant, being a part of the parent, is just
as old. It has been on its own roots
all the time. Varieties on their own
roots show no constitutional variation.
The Black Hamburg grape is the same
the world over, now as ever.

It is not so with grafted plants. There
are variations even in the Baldwin ap-
ple. Go to our fruit shows and it will
be hard to find two dishes of Baldwin
apples that look alike. The fact is, the
Baldwin apple has sported, and to stand-
ardize that or any particular sport it
will have to be fixed and the best way
to do that is to get it on its own roots.
Propagators will use the best form or
variety for grafting and still get sports.
No reliance can be placed on any as
long as mixed seedling apple stocks are
used. Something has been done by root
grafting to get apples on their own
roots. It does not appear, however,
that this was what the operators had in
view, but rather economy in operation.
It is a cheap and easy way, but there is

a good chance that scions will get on
their own roots when root grafted.

Division of the Boots.

The division method of propagation
should be easily comprehended. It is
applied mostly to herbaceous or hardy
border plants and some greenhouse
plants. It is best done when the plants
are at rest. It is also the general prSjC-
tice with ferns, except some tree ferns,
in which case one must depend on spores,
which will be described farther on.

Propagation by Seeds.

One does not have to look far for evi-
dence of the seed method in the propa-
gation of plants. It is to be seen every-
where. To reproduce itself is the last
expiring effort of all plant life. The
annual does it in one year, the biennial
in two. When an old black spruce or
pitch pine is seen loaded with cones it
is getting ready to die. I have known
peach trees make an unusual floral dis-
play, set a big crop of fruit, and die
before bringing it to maturity. It is
often stated that peach trees are short-
lived. The probability is that they had
been allowed to carry too much fruit.

When a cutting, layer or graft is
started the parent is reproduced, but
when a seed is started a new individual
is created. Seedlings have an individ-
ualism not possessed by cuttings or
layers. A counterpart of the parent
may be reproduced, or something new
is liable to happen. In the one way it
is known what to expect, in the other
it is uncertain, and therein lies the fas
cination of growing plants from seed.
A man with a thousand carnation seed-
lings about to bloom is on tiptoe all
the time.

KANSAS CITY, MO.

-v-

The Market.

An unusually large quantity of fu-
neral work brought a week of good busi-
ness; in fact, flowers were actually
scarce at the end of the seven days.
Gladioli held the center of the stage
last week, but it was necessary to mix
in delphiniums and other outdoor blooms
to make the supply go around. Bloom-
ing plants had a dull time of it last
week. The hot, dry weather is ex-
pected to cut down the receipts consid-
erably.

Various Notes.

A. Elberfield is receiving some extra
fine asters and out at his farm the men
are picking 2,500 good peas daily. Mr.
Elberfield has been doing extremely
well in oil investments.

Some of the best gladioli in the mar-
ket have come from the nursery of
M. E. Chandler. The proprietor left
this week for a two weeks' fishing trip
in the Ozark mountains.

Another vacationist is W. J. Barnes,
who is enjoying the cool breezes in
Colorado for two weeks. The stock at
Barnes' range is in the pink of condi-
tion. Henry Kusik also chose Colorado
for his vacation.

A liberal quantity of funeral work
had the force of the W. L. Rock Flower
Co. fully occupied last week, a number
of the workers being at the summer
resorts.

Arthur Newell says that business last
week panned out well, thanks to a
good batch of funeral orders. The boss
recently returned from a week at
Excelsior Springs. W. J. B.

OAKLAND, MD.

Nestled among the Alleghany moun-
tains of Maryland, near Oakland, are
the greenhouses of the H. Weber & Sons
Co. More than 100,000 feet of glass
glisten in the sun, the houses being at
an altitude of 2,500 feet, and there are
350 acres of intensely cultivated land.
The products of the range are sold by
the three stores of the company, at
Oakland, Md., and Clarksburg and Fair-
mont, W. Va. Roses of wide variety
are grown, as well as carnations and
decorative greens. Lilies are produced
in large quantities, about 160,000 bulbs
being forced annually. To do this with
greater ease a cold storage plant is be-
ing erected, in addition to the one al-
ready on the premises. The new sys-
tem will be of the ammonia and brine
type.

William Weber, who is in general
charge, says that the company has
found it profitable to grow cauliflower.
A plot of twenty acres is devoted to
this vegetable, which is marketed at a
good price in Baltimore, Washington,
Philadelphia, New York and Pittsburgh.

COLUMBUS, O.

Business has been extremely quiet,
and the dullness has seemed more
marked in the face of a plentiful sup-
ply of stock. Gladioli have become
more abundant, but not to the extent of
overstocking the market. Good asters
arrive and are "welcomed in the absence
of carnations. Roses are available' in
numbers, but the blooms cannot sur-
vive the heat for any length of time.
Snapdragons are here in numbers, and
those not taken up by funeral work
frequently go to waste. Many good
dahlias also are unappreciated and share
the fate of the snaps. Lilies have a
good call, but the erratic demand some-
times finds only a few of them.

There is a flood of outdoor stock, so
it is no wonder that the public's de-
mand should dwindle. The call to
colors of the militia and reserve units
now is beginning to reflect itself in the
flower business. Many of the prosper-
ous young business men who are
counted as flower buyers have gone into
camp, as well as professionals who
have enlisted in the special branches.

ward to an unusually large demand for

be planted by the customer is not guar-
anteed, but where the price paid covers
planting by the seller, the guarantee ap-
plies, and in case a sufficient price has
been paid a special guarantee of one or
two additional years is given. The
guarantee requires that claim be made
if replacement is necessary, but it is
not the custom to wait for claims. When
July arrives the annual drive is ar-
ranged. A large map of Chicago is past-
ed on a board and into it a pin is
driven showing the location of every
guaranteed planting. Each season there
are between 400 and 500 pins in the
map. From the pins a route is made
and an automobile, carrying three or
four men qualified to inspect and ren-
der first aid to any failing plant, starts
out for the drive. The trip is made in
less than a week, sometimes in three or
:four davs, and the nursery is in posses-
-sion of a record of the exact condition
•of every guaranteed planting. But the
ibest result is that customers gain con-
^dence and also profit by the sugges-
Ttions that are given, the replacement of
«tock frequently being avoided by a
timely suggestion for care.

The Market.

The wholesale market was unusually
active last week, a condition attributed
to the fact that many of the society
people are remaining in the city this
summer. This creates a good demand
for cut flowers for small social affairs.
Funeral work also is brisk and hospital
orders are numerous.

In spite of the hot weather, the sup-

FIELD-GROWN CARNATION PLANTS

We 'have had unusually favorable weather conditions for the growing of Carnation
Plants thus far this season, and with continued good weather, they will be ready for
benching somewhat earlier than previous years, and of very much better quality.

It is generally conceded by Carnation experts that the best results are obtained by

SNAPDRAGON PAYS

When sending a repeat order for snapdragon seed,
K. J. Snyder, North Germantown, N. Y., writes :

"During March and April alone, from 148 plants of
your Silver Pink Snapdragon, I cut $160.00 worth of
blooms. I think that great for the bench room they
occupied."

Do you know of any plant that will do so well ? Seed
should be sown now for plants to follow mums. We have

seed as follows:

Seed of our famous Silver Pink, $1.00 per pkt.; 3 for $2.50; 7
for $5.00. Seed of Nelrose, Garnet, Yellow, White, Light Pink,
Buxton and Fancy Mixed, 35c per pkt.; 3 for $1.(0. Seed of special
Pink Mixture, $1.00 per pkt. All orders cash. Free cultural

We offer a few thousand Silver Pink SEEDLING plants,

the high temperatures and most of the
growers have emptied their houses.
The best of them bring 50 cents per
dozen. Gladioli are increasing in sup-
ply and the best sell at $1, $1.50 and
$2 per dozen. Asters are a close sec-
ond, but the demand for them is not so
good. There is a liberal supply of
sweet peas, but on account of the hot
weather the quality is none too good.
Lilium longiflorum and speciosum are in
good supply and sell exceedingly well
for funeral work. Valley, however, is
none too plentiful and the prices are
high.

Outdoor flowers sell well for table
decorations. Some excellent cattleyas
move well. The supply of greens is
good, although smilax is scarce.

Various Notes.

Mrs. Herman Leitz, of the New Ha-
ven Floral Co., New Haven, Ind., and
three children have left for a several
weeks' visit with relatives at Alten-
burg, Mo,

Miss Georgia Flick has gone to To-
ledo, O., for a several weeks' visit with
her aunt, Miss C. B. Flick, of the Pat-
ten Flower Shop. Miss Helen F. Patten
has returned from a month's vacation
spent at Portland, Me.

The Flick Floral Co. is remodeling
and repainting the interior of its store.
The large building this firm erected
necessitated the removal of its glass
conservatories and the building of a
screen across the back part of the sales-
room.

Frank J. Knecht is sending some fine
Ophelia and Russell roses to this mar-
ket. The greenhouses are in fine order
and most of the young stock for next
year has been benched.

Greenhouse Heating.

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

SPENCER HEATING CO. LOSES.

A jury in the civil courts at Trenton,
N. J., has awarded a verdict of $2,500
against the Spencer Heater Co., of
Philadelphia, in favor of the Park
Floral Co., of Trenton, with an offset
of $1,307.20. The heater company has
appealed from the decision.

The Spencer company installed two
boilers in the Park Floral Co. green-
houses at Lafayette and Buchanan ave-
nues. The latter company claimed that
the boilers were too small to heat the
houses and, as a result, thousands of
dollars ' worth oi sjtpek ^^t^ destroyed
by frost. ' '"'-"'"

When suit to recover the amount due
on the boilers was filed by the Spencer
company, the Park Floral Co. set up a
counter claim for damages, alleging its
loss was $15,000. The jury, which re-
turned its verdict June 1, fixed the
amount of damages at $2,500, with the
deduction for the amount due on the
boilers.

TWO BOILERS— ONE IN RESERVE.

We understand that you undertake to
pass along to your subscribers various
technical points regarding the growing
of plants and the construction of green-
houses. Believing that our inquiry
comes within the scope of your bureau,
we shall be duly appreciative if you
will give us the following information:

We have greenhouses with a roof ex-
posure of 27,000 square feet of glass
and with sides and gable ends contain-
ing 5,000 square feet of glass. Seven of
the greenhouses are each 28x194 and
fourteen feet high; another is 28x150
and sixteen feet high. Aside from these,
we have two rooms, 30x50 and 20x65,
each eight feet high. We also have un-
der construction a new building of four
floors and basement. This building is
to be used as a warehouse and office
and will require 7,000 square feet of
radiation, according to the estimate of
our architects.

If it is not imposing too much on your
good nature, will you let us know what
size of boilers will be required to heat
the entire amount of space described?
If such a plan is practicable, we should
prefer having two boilers, alternating
with them in heating; in other words,
onlv using one boiler at a time.

S. S. C— Wis.

The amount of radiation and the boil-
er capacity required for heating a green-
house depends not only upon the amount
of exposed glass, but upon the tempera-
ture to be maintained in the houses,
the mininjnm outside temperature and
the amount of ex])osure to the prevail-
ing winds, none of which particulars is
given in the forefjoing letter. We
would say, however, that for tempera-
tures averaging 60 degrees in the differ-
ent houses, when the temperature is 10

ONE OF BOSTON'S WELL KNOWN
OKOWEBS.

The Kroeschell baa taken the place of
four cast Iron boilers at a big Bavlng in
coal. We are using it now for the fifth
year. Tbe longer we use it the better
we like it.

OHIO'S CELEBBATEB CYCLAMEN

After using your No. 12 Kroescbell
Boiler I came to tbe conclusion that bad
I to install more boilers it would be tbe
Kroeschell and no other. It really is a
pleasure to beat, no trouble to get the
desired heat In a very short time.

THE aiTALITY PLACE OF BOSTON.

Regarding the Kroeschell, It is tbe best
we hare ever had and satisfactory beyond
our expectations. It heats up especially
quick and bas saved us considerably al-
ready in tbe price of fuel. When we are
in need of another boiler we will give tbe
Kroescbell tbe first consideration.

A BIG MAN IN THE FLOBICITLTTTBAL
WOULD.

The Kroescbell Boiler I installed last
year usually runs from 10 p. m. to 6 a. m.
without attention. I do not have tbe
least troDble to keep temperatnres in tbe
coldest weather. Tbe boiler bas given en-
tire satisfaction.

The Kroescbell is tbe best boiler we
have ever bandied.

In speaking of the Kroescbell Boiler as
an economical greenhouse boiler I cannot
say too much. Personally I have bad tbe
pleasure or misfortune to fire nearly every
make of greenhouse boiler on the market and
I can safely say the Kroescbell is tbe
best of them all.

We spent $100,000 in bnildlng and

every Instance the best of everything we

a Kroeschell Boiler to furnish our heat is
sufficient evidence of our opinion of same.

degrees below zero outside, with an
average amount of exposure to the pre-
vailing winds, M-e would use 5,500
square feet of radiation for the 32,000
square feet of glass.

Before we can estimate with any ac-
curacy the amount of radiation required
in the two rooms, 30x50 and 20x65,
each eight feet high, we should also
have similar data to those already men-
tioned, but for the present purpose it
will be sufficiently accurate if we esti-
mate the radiation at 250 square feet
for the two rooms.

On the basis of 5,500 square feet of
radiation for the greenhouses, 7,000
square feet for the office building and
250 square feet for the two rooms re-
ferred to, it will be necessary to provide
radiation and boiler capacity for 12,750
square feet of radiation. For this
amount of radiation a boiler rated for
150 horsepower will be desirable, and
if a duplicate plant, to be held in re-
serve, is to be installed, two boilers

TEND-TOS

That Will Make Your Boiler
A Better Boiler Next Winter

A FELLOW will take all kinds
of trouble and time to go all
over his auto carefully after trips;
clean the carbon out of the
cylinders, and tend to everything
else that needs tending to.

Yet that self-same fellow won't
pay a bit of attention to his boiler
after it finishes its long, hard trip
through the winter. He'll just
plain forget about it until firing-
up time calls around again. And
yet boilers need tending to between
trips just like autos.

Here are a few things you can do
this summer to putyour boiler in bet-
ter condition for next winter s work:

HiicKiitififs

dO) NEW TORK OFFICE
1170 Oraaiway

Open all doors. The boiler will
sweat if you don't.

Slip off the smoke-pipe while
your boiler is out of use.

Clean out all soot. Soot is a
non-conductor of heal, you know.
It wastes coal just like carbon in
the cylinders wastes gasoline.

It collects dampness and forms
a dangerous rust-out acid.

Swab your boiler out carefully
with crude oil. It's an effective
rust-preventing "internal bath"
that will add years to its life.

Little things to do, perhaps.

But big in their resultfulness.

rated for 150 horsepower each will be
required.

Ilowever, a boiler rated for ]25 horse-
power will be amply large except when
the weather ajjproaches zero, and, un-
less the number of the greenhouses is
to be increased, we would recommend
the installation of two boilers of 125
horsepower each, planning to hold one
in reserve, except in severe weather, to
be used in case of accident to the other
boiler. Although one of these boilers
will not be quite as large as will be de-
sired for carrying the radiation with
the temperature at zero and below, it
will do so with a little extra attention
in case of a breakdown of the other
boiler, and in ordinary weather it can
be operated much more cheaply than
the larger boiler.

QUANTITY OF COAL CONSUMED.

I am of the opinion that I am using
more coal than I ought to use in heating
my establishment, which comprises the
following buildings: One greenhouse
18x85, with two feet of glass in the
sides and a 10-foot gable; another
greenhouse 24x110, with four feet of
glass in the sides and a 12-foot gable; a
packing room 12x24, with 9-foot stud-
ding and a quarter-pitch roof; a resi-
dence, of which I heat the first story,
which is nine feet high and contains five
rooms, 14xlG, 12x14, 12x12, 14x15 and
10x11, and a bathroom 5x9. I have an
American hot water boiler, rated at 3,750
feet. Please let me know about how
much mine-run soft coal should be re-
quired each season to heat this place,
running the greenhouses with a temper-
ature of 50 degrees at night and 60 de-
grees in the daytime.

C. J. S.— Pa.

So many conditions affect the coal con-
sumption that what might prove ample
in one season might come far short in
another. The construction: and exposure
of the greenhouses will have much to do
with it, and the weather might be much
more severe one year than another.
Careful firing will have much to do with
the economy in coal consumption.

We would think that under good aver-
age conditions the temperature men-
tioned might be maintained in the green-
houses and dwelling with fifty tons of
coal. Under the best of conditions it
might be done with forty tons, while
seventy tons might be used by some
firemen.

CHANGING BENCHES AND PIPING.

I wish to make a little change in the
piping of a greenhouse, 21x50, which is
heated witli hot water. The house has
a 2-inoh flow on each side. These flows
feed four 2-iiich returns under each out-
side beneli, four 2-inch returns on the
west line of ])urlin supports and three
2-inch returns on the east purlin sup-
ports. Having decided to put raised
benclies in tlie middle of the house, in-
stead of the present solid beds. I wish
to know Avhether I shall get the same
service if the pipes now on the purlin
posts are put under the benches.

M. W. T. B.— N. C.

As we understand the plan described,
the proposed change in the location of
the return coils will have no effect on
the circulation, provided the returns
will be above the top of the boiler.
The higher the returns are located, the

better will be the circulation. When
the flows are overliead, there should be
no difficulty about sccurinfj a satisfac-
tory circulation if the returns are even
with the top of the l)oiler.

If care is taken that the soil in the
benclies is not allowed to dry out, the
bottom heat secured wlien the returns
are under the benches is often decidedly
beneficial to the growtli of the plants.

The letter does not state the amount
of glass in the side walls or mention the
temperature desired, but for a tempera-
ture of GO to 6~) degrees and with no
more than three feet of glass in each
of the walls, we would consider tliat the
amount of radiation is correct as de-
scribed, provided tlie coldest outside
temperature is not below zero. We
would suggest, however, that two of the
present returns lie used as flows and
placed overhead on the jiurlin supports,
thus making four flows in the house. If
this is done, better results can be ob-
tained than when only two flows are
used for the present radiation.

PROVIDENCE, R. I.

Business with the Providence florists,
especially with those in the downtown
district, was good in spots during the
month of July. A few weddings and a
fair volume of funeral work kept busi
ness a trifle above the normal for this
season. The work was fairly divided,
although some houses Avore favored witli
one or two special calls.

Prices of coal have not eased oft' to
any appreciable extent, but the green-
housemen are placing their orders for
the winter supply wherever possible,
taking a chance on prices.

CINCINNATI.

The Market.

Stock is plentiful, but business is
quiet. About the only item for which
there is a steady demand is greens and
the bulk of the call for this is from
out of town. Eoses are abundant, but
they have been affected by the heat.
Asters now are in big supply, nearly
all local growers having heavy cuts,
and many more are shipped in. Easter
lilies are in sufficient supply to meet the
demand. Gladioli are abundant and are
of excellent quality. Other offerings
include rubrum and auratum lilies,
snapdragons, hardy hydrangeas, phlox
and a few carnations.

Various Notes.

Louis H. Kyrk had some excellent
Shawyer roses last week.

P. O. Coblentz, of New Madison, O.,
has begun to ship his cut of gladioli to
C. E. Critchell. Mr, Coblentz has
gained fame as a grower of gladioli and
the blooms he has shipped in other
years have found ready sale.

The Cincinnati Cut Flower Exchange
has been handling some excellent asters
from local growers.

Among recent visitors to Cincinnati
were Frank Schoen, Cleveland, O.;
William Hull, Bristol, Tenn.; H. P.
Smith, Piqua, O.; H. F. Winter, Charles-
ton, W. Va.; William Gardner and
Joseph H. Hill, Eichmond, Ind.; Alfred
Pahud, Indianapolis, Ind., and Fred and
Charles Pommert, Amelia, O.

Sam Seligman, representing Werthei-
mer Bros., New York city, called on the
trade here this week. C. H. H.

BRAMPTON, ONT.

Many florists from Brampton and
vicinity are going to the convention of
the Canadian Horticultural Association
by boat from Toronto, leaving August
4. A number of outings during the con-
vention have been arranged and, with
the program that has been prepared, the
visitors are assured an interesting time.

The weather during the last week was
extremely warm and, although outdoor
stock was plentiful, there was a good
call for flowers of all kinds.

The Dale Estate employees held a
picnic at Snell's lake July 21. It was
a great success. W. G. P.

Wooster, O. — The large Kingsley
greenhouse is to be dismantled to make
room for a smaller one of more modern
type. Mrs. G, Kingsley will continue
the business, as formerly.

Hand-weeding, at its best, is of the
horse car class, costly, and mast be done
over and over again. Besides, labor should
be put to more productive work.

The remedy?

Owners of estates and homes, as well as
leading railroads, municipalities, country
and golf clubs, parks and cemeteries ail
over the country, have found a solution to
the weed problem in Atlas Chemical Weed
Killer.

One application of this chemical, diluted
with 20 parts water, permanently destroys
weed growth for the entire season. Atlas
burns down to the very root— also steril-
izes the ground round about.

Tell your customers of Atlas— its econ-
omy, effectiveness and how easily it is
applied. They'll remember, then, of
having read of it in the magazine adver-
tisements. They will buy— you will
profit.

the fruit Is perfectly round, the color a brilliant
red and larger than an ordinary cherry.

Six Splendid Australian Varieties

CONCORD Spencer types

The Concord Varieties of Winter-flowering
Spencer Sweet Peas are perhaps the most
advanced and finest of all. The colors are
distinct, clear and true. They flower earlier
than any other type, and the blossoms are
of large Spencer form, with long stems.
Unfortunately they are shy seeders and,
therefore, the seed is scarce and expensive
We are obliged to offer in packets only
this year.

Prices, any of the following:

Pkt. (50 seeds), 40c; 5 pkts., $1.75.
Concord Pink, beautiful delicate pink.
Concord Crimson, fine ruby red.
Concord Lavender, light lavender blue.
Concord White, large, pure white.
Concord Salmon, soft salmon pink.
Concord Blue, dark purple blue.

We have on hand fresh seed of Giant Flowered Cyclamen in all popular colors,
also Primula, Cineraria, Calceolaria; Perennial Flower Seeds for summer sow-
ing and Annuals for winter flowering under glass.

CANADIANS MEET ^

TO TALK SHOP

The problems of our neighbors may be our problems soon and the twen-
tieth annual meeting of the Canadian florists' society, in progress at Mont-
real this week, therefore is of special interest to the trade in the United States as
reflecting the conditions brought about by war. It is encouraging, a reassurance.

HERE is in Canada as
brave a little body of
florists as one could wish
to see. They have gone
through three years of war
without a whimper and
without a suggestion that
they can not "carry on,"
supporting burdens such
as probably never will
come upon the trade in the United
States. Of her eight millions, Canada
has sent across the seas as many men as
the first draft will take out of the more
than a hundred millions of people this
side of the boundary. In other words,
twelve such drafts will be necessary to
make the labor situation in the United
States what it now is in Canada, or to so
affect the purchasing power of the
people.

That the Canadian
Horticultural Asso-
ciation, the trade
body in the Domin-
ion, should be able
to show undimin-
ished strength at
this time and under
these circumstances
is a matter for fe-
licitation.

The Membership.

In his report at
the opening session
of the twentieth
annual convention,
at Montreal, August
7, J. Luck, the
secretary- treasurer,
showed a member-
ship list of nearly
100 and a good bal-
ance in the bank. It
is a record of main-
tenance of member-
ship in the face of
difficulties and, it is
worth while to note,
the organization in-
cludes a much larger
percentage of the
total number e n -
gaged in the trade
in Canada than does
the Society of Amer-
icaa Florists of
those who are eligi-
ble to its member-
ship. The Canadians
certainly have every
reason to be proud
of the showing they
make.

The Montreal florists express them-
selves as delighted with the attend-
ance at this meeting. It exceeds that
of recent years in spite of the fact
that everything of a general enter-
tainment nature has been omitted.
Particularly large is the delegation from
Toronto, headed by John H. Dunlop;
there are thirty in this party and other
parts of Ontario and Quebec are well
represented, although the maritime
provinces and the west are not ac-
counted for.

The Wax the Topic.

The war and its effects constitute al-
most the only topic, in meeting and out;
everything hinges on the war. Presi-
dent Eraser, of Prescott, Ont., in his
address, said he would try not to men-

James At Fraser> President of the Canadian Horticultural Association.

tion war, but he talked of little else.
The convention was opened by E. J.
Hay ward, of the Montreal Florists'
Club, who welcomed the visitors and
introduced Alderman Weldon to speak
for the mayor. That gentleman showed
an unexpected acquaintance with flow-
ers, but he began by saying he had
three sons in France, each of whom had
been wounded at least once, and he went
on to tell what one of them wrote about
the pleasure afforded by the flowers
which so quickly spring up on a battle
field after the scene shifts. The influ-
ence of the war is everywhere apparent
in the convention.

The talk shows quite clearly that the
trade is not profiting in any way by the
war. Business has not been bad, but it
has been different and difficult. The
large social affairs of the wealthy have

been discontinued
and the loss of these
orders is rather
keenly felt by some
of the members. On
the other hand, the
sales to working peo-
ple have increased,
for employment is
more general and
family earnings are
higher than before.
On the whole, it is
easier to sell flow-
ers than to grow
them at a profit.
Labor is scarce, un-
skilled and high,
making the owner
do more of his own
work than he
should. All expenses
are up. Flowers are
bringing fair prices,
but not so much as
to offset the in-
creased costs. Taxes
arc constantly in-
creasing.

Home Production.

President Eraser,
although he said he
would not discuss
the war, devoted a
considerable part of
his address to the
problem of a home
supply of stock to
meet the present
lack of imported
plants and to ob-
viate the necessity
of importing from

14

The Florists' Review

August 9, 1917.

Europe after the war. It was his view
that it is not necessary to produce all the
kinds of plants previously imported, but
that substitutes can be developed for
the varieties not easily grown in Canada.
At the same session W. C. Hall, of
Montreal, read a paper on the cyclamen,
which was followed by a general dis-
cussion. It was the consensus that the
cyclamen now takes the place of the
azalea for Christmas and that it will be
hard to displace after the war.

New Varieties.

The evening session August 7 was de-
voted to the discussion of novelties.
John H. Dunlop, of Toronto, read a
paper on the behavior of the newer car-
nations and Joseph Bennett, of Lachine,
presented a report on what the Experi-
mental Farm can do for the trade in
the way of testing new sorts. There
was a long discussion of much interest
to those participating. It brought out
many opinions as to the value of the
assistance the trade already has received
from the government stations and also
regarding data that could be provided
the stations by florists. In the end it
was decided to appoint another com-
mittee to work out cooperation between
the trade and the stations, or vice

versa.

Mums and Peas.

The morning of the second day was
devoted to a paper on chrysanthemums,
by J. H. McKee, of Ottawa, and one on
sweet peas under glass, by James Kean,
of St. Bruno. The lady visitors went
sight-seeing about the city.

In the afternoon the visitors were
the guests of the city on a drive to the
parks and- the mountain, followed by
a visit to the greenhouses of McKenna,

Ltd.

The convention will close at the eve-
ning session, except that on the follow-
ing day the Montreal Gardeners' and
Florists' Club will take the visitors who
remain for a visit to the St. Annes and
Senneville region, including the inspec-
tion of the famous Macdonald college.

The trades' display appears to be less
than at previous conventions.

PACKING AND SHXPPING.

[Following is a paper by William Cotter, of
Montreal, Can., delivered at the convention of
the Canadian Hortienltural Association at Mon-
treal, August 8, 1917.]

There are many methods of packing
cut flowers, but only two degrees— good
and poor. Any process of handling and
packing cut flowers that will conduce
toward putting the stock in the hands
of the consignee in good condition — by
that I mean stock that arrives fresh, not
bruised, and with no apparent loss of
vitality — would be designated as good
packing.

There is no doubt that a flower of
any description loses a certain amount
of its original perfectness during trans-
portation, and that is what I have in
mind and which I wish to bring before
our members — the treatment of stock
from the time it is cut in the green-
houses until it is actually packed and
shipped. This treatment, or, as I might
call it, "the curing of stock," has every
effect upon the condition of the flowers,
nM only on arrival at the wholesalers
or retailers, but also ultimately at the
consumer's home — the length of time it
lasts in the home. In a decoration the
apparent freshness of the stock is due to
the original treatment the stock re-
ceived from the grower from the time
of cutting.

I find that the successful rose growers
cut their stock two and three times a
day, regulated by weather conditions,
and then rush it immediately to the
coolers or refrigerators, which are kept
at a temperature of from 38 to 40 de-
grees. They allow the stock to stand for
ten to twelve hours, after which, as the
hardening process has taken effect, it
is graded. I might mention that if the
stock can be left to harden twenty-four
hours previous to grading, it will help
to improve its condition and it will also
carry better after packing.

For the Sake of Better Prices.

This treatment is adaptable to chrys-
anthemums, lilies, stevias, some bulbous
stock — in fact, everything but perhaps
carnations, which wtill take a little
higher temperature in the curing proc-
ess, but even so it is a debatable
question.

The growers who are in close proxim-
ity to any market would not perhaps
have to go into the above methods so

iraVERY now and then a well-
i^Si pleased reader speaks the word
which is the means of hringing; a
new advertiser to

tiser. "We especially wish to interest

closely, but I would mention that it is
advisable.

It is apparent that the grower who
gives his stock this sort of treatment
will put it on the market in better con-
dition and will be able to obtain,
through good keeping qualities, better
prices than the grower who ships his
stock without hardening and too soon
after cutting.

I might state that sweet peas, violets
and flowers of that description are best
put on a market or shipped as soon as is
possible after picking, as they will lose
their greatest values, fragrance and
sweetness, if held any length of time.

The packing now enters into the ques-
tion and can be discussed in its various
forms by the members.

I do strongly recommend plenty of ice
for roses in packing at all times of the
year, as I find that stock comes through
better from growers who use ice ^han
from those who do not. I suggest well
lined boxes, careful handling and pack-
ing, not forgetting what a lot of good
two cleats will do if used properly.

The Need for Standard Grading.

There have been many arguments rela-
tive to the method of shipping carna-
tions. Some growers prefer to pack
carnations one by one in layers in the

boxes, while others bunch them in
twenty-fives. I think that the latter
method is perhaps best in most cases,
as they can on arrival be unpacked,
checked and put away with less labor
and loss of time than through the first
method mentioned.

One more item regarding grading is
that we do not have a standard system
of grading in Canada at present, and,
as you are all aware, two or three grow-
ers grade to a certain system and two
or three to another system, and so on.
It would be a good idea in general to
take such steps as might produce a
standard system, and I feel confident
that it would result in much good for all
connected with the trade, growers,
wholesalers and retailers.

There are many features regarding
this topic which have not been gone
into, but I feel that in making the paper
as concise as possible the discussion per-
haps will bring out more good points,
and in a way that would prove more
beneficial than a lengthy paper.

EXPERIMENT FARM AND TRADE.

[An extract from the report of Joseph Bennett,
chairman of a special committee to consider the
work of the Canadian Experimental Farms, pre-
sented at the Montreal Convention of the C. H. A.
August 7.]

The members of this committee have
visited the Experimental Farm at Ot-
tawa for several years and have been
much interested in the work carried on
at this station. There is no doubt but
what plants, flowers and fruits are
grown here to perfection, and it is well
worthy of a visit from any gardener or
florist in the country, especially garden-
ers, but while we were always delighted
with what we saw and were well repaid
for our visit, as any flower lover would
be, we always came away with the im-
pression that there was little benefit to
the florist from a business standpoint.

Chrysajithemums.

In the first place we will take chrysan-
themums: They are grown at Ottawa to
perfection; that is, from an exhibition
point of view, but of little use to a
florist in his business. The latest intro-
ductions are procured, which is com-
mendable, but they are grown to single
flowers in pots, given lots of room and
the best of attention, whereas the florist
has to grow his plants in a bed or bench,
three flowers to a plant and close enough
to make them pay for themselves,,
which is an entirely different proposi-
tion. The florist visiting the experi-
mental station while the mums are in
flower knows no more which varieties
to grow than if he stayed at home.

We suggest that these same varieties
be planted in a commercial way; that is,
in the same way in which the florist is
obliged to grow them. They will be
just as interesting to the ordinary vis-
itor and a source of income to the com-
mercial man.

No Carnation Tests.

Carnations are not grown at all at this
station, and, as they are practically the
standby of the cut flower grower of
Canada, we would suggest that a house
be devoted entirely to them. So many
varieties are introduced yearly by
hybridizers that it is practically impos-
sible for the commercial man to buy
them all. He buys what he thinks will
suit him, and oftentimes he is disap-
pointed with the results, losing valuable
time, labor, space and money. If the
experimental stations would take up

The Florists' Review

carnations and devote enough space to
them it would be a boon to the florist
and a source of delight to visitors. The
originators of new carnations would be
pleased to supply twenty-five to 100
plants the year before dissemination,
upon condition that the young plants be
not sold or given away, but kept strictly
for experimental purposes and reported
on accordingly. Of course, we could
not expect the stations to grow these
plants under anything but ordinary cir-
cumstances; that is, an even temperature
and ordinary soil. We know that one
variety will make good in a light soil
and another variety in a heavy soil, and
that some varieties like a little more
heat or a little less heat than other
varieties, but what the commercial
florist wants to know more especially
is what varieties to grow under ordinary
conditions, and this is where the experi-
mental farms can get in their good work.

Rose Tests Needed.

A few years ago there were only three
or four standard varieties of roses that
a florist could grow with profit, but the
liybridizers have done wonderful work
lately and new roses are being sent out
yearly which have entirely outclassed
and superseded the old ones, and here
again is where the florist is at a disad-
vantage. He cannot afford to buy every
variety offered by the disseminators, so
speculates in one or more varieties and
often finds that he bought the wrong
one. Not only is the price of the new
plants lost, but a whole year's labor,
bench space, firing, etc., which is a con-
siderable item in the year's returns. If
the Experimental Farm would take up
rose growing and report, the florist
would not be in such a hurry to take up
catalogues, and trade papers' glowing
accounts and throw their good money
after bad, for a commercial grower is
always on the lookout for something
better than he is growing at present and
is always willing to take a chance. We
consider that the government should
take this chance and give the hard-work-
ing florists the benefit of experience,
thereby saving them a lot of disappoint-
ments and expense and also helping the
flower-buying public of Canada to pro-
cure the best varieties obtainable.

The above remarks apply equally to
all cut flowers grown by florists, such as
violets, mignonette, antirrhinums, sweet
peas and any other subjects that are or
could be grown to advantage commer-
cially.

What we suggest is that the green-
house work in connection with the farms
be treated exactly the same way as they
are treating the outdoor departments;
viz., hardy shrubs, perennials, vege-
tables, fruit or ornamental trees and
hedges. We immensely appreciate the
efforts which have been made in these
departments. The grounds are an ob-
ject lesson to anyone wishing to beau-
tify grounds and an education to land-
scape gardeners and nurserymen.

Insect Studies Needed.

Another thing we would like to sug-
gest is that the Experimental Farm take
up what we can vulgarly call the bug
question. We all realize the necessity
of keeping our plants and flowers clean
and free of insects, and most florists
know how to combat the commoner form
of insect pests, but there are some bugs
and grubs that the average florists have
found impossible to eradicate.

THE COST OF COAL

r:fl?^^?i??^?B?^ffi?^ffiy^i??^iff^iB^^

A GROWER TALKS TO PUBLIC.

No Reduction in Sight.

A Chicago daily paper is conducting
a campaign to develop the facts with
regard to the cost of fuel, the idea be-
ing that a "Peabody" reduction in
prices is not sufficient to meet the needs
of the case. In the course of its in-
vestigations it obtained the following
statement from a down-state grower of
greenhouse vegetables:

"A large grower of hothouse vege-
tables down-state who wishes his name
withheld says:

' ' ' The florists and hothouse vege-
table growers will be hardest hit by the
exorbitant prices of coal, which, except-
ing labor, is their heaviest expense.
Many will go into bankruptcy or experi-
ence heavy losses by allowing green-
houses to freeze up, as prices of their
products have not advanced and they
cannot possibly make enough profit to
pay the increasing cost of coal, which
means about 100 per cent increase, fig-
uring delivery cost.

"Too High to Meet."

" 'Cost at the mines is 125 to 150 per
cent higher than formerly. There is not
the faintest hope that prices of flowers
and hothouse vegetables can be ad-
vanced to cover the enormous cost of
fuel.

" 'The florist who spends $3,000 a
year for coal would have to raise $6,000
to keep from freezing up his establish-
ment this winter. If he is fortunate
enough to have $3,000 available for the
additional cost he may not lose his all.
But moat of them have extreme diffi-
culty meeting their heavy coal bills
every winter and cannot see any way
around it now.

" 'The problem which confronts them
is whether to stick to it until the sheriff
takes the place for the creditors, or let
the greenhouses freeze up and get a job
in some factory, thereby losing what
represents a lifetime saving, now tied
up in the business.

" 'Boilers and pipes would be seri-
ously damaged, established trade en-
tirely lost and there would be little en-
couragement to start in again after the
war. The best bet seems to be to stick
to it in the hope conditions may im
prove or that the florist may be able to
borrow money, for he surely will run
behind this winter.

Credit Aids Large Growers.

' ' ' The large growers will probably
run at a loss, but having credit will pull
through and get on their feet at some
later date.

" 'Enormous quantities of coal are
mined and being stored for winter;
more than ever before, so there should
be no trouble taking care of the de-
mand later on for those who have not
stored any. Conditions will be nothing
like they were last winter. There is,
however, a shortage of cars or motive
power to haul them, so that some mines
are not able to run every day.

" 'The railroads need more engines

and cars. Enormous farm crops to move
will make the car shortage more seri-
ous later in the fall.

' ' ' Coal prices should be lowered now
and train service improved, to get peo-
ple to buy and the mines to run at full
capacity before the roads are blocked
with bumper farm crops and troops to
move.

" 'What the miners' wages may be
next year has nothing to do with this
year's coal prices. The prices are simply
robbery which has been legalized by the
establishing of the maximum price, to
which all operators promptly set their
price.

Tells of Price Jiunp.

" 'We have contracted for eighty to
100 cars a year for several years. The
price was $1.25 per ton for nut coal
from southern Illinois mines. Last
year it was raised to $1.35. This year
they are asking $3.50 for the same nut
coal, but we cannot get either mine-run
or screenings at $2.75, which is the low-
est on southern Illinois coal. The mine
operators claim as one excuse that the
cost of rails is 100 per cent higher. But,
even so, this probably would not neces-
sitate raising the price of coal more
than five per cent, because of the few
rails they need compared with the en-
tire sales.' "

SCABIOSA CAUCASICA ALBA.

Please inform me as to the culture,
blooming season and keeping quality of
Scabiosa caucasica alba.

E. A. E.— 111.

Scabiosa caucasica alba is a white
form of scabiosa. It is carried on long
stems, is a good perennial and well
adapted for cutting. S. caucasica, with
light lavender blue flowers of large size,
I consider a more valuable form com-
mercially than S. caucasica alba. The
average height of the plant is eighteen
inches. Tt is easily grown from seed.
If started early in the year, it wUl
flower the following summer. i^Give the
plants well manured soil for best re-
sults and allow eighteen inches of space
between the plants. C. W.

HEDGE OF LILACS.

What would you suggest to make a
hedge of lilacs grow faster? The lilacs
were planted five years ago, when they
were one to one and one-half feet in
height, and they now are only about two
and one-half feet in height. Would a
top-dressing of bone meal and dried
blood in the fall be good, or would you
prefer mulching with cow manure? Our
winters are quite severe, the tempera-
ture dropping sometimes to 70 degrees
below zero. A. R. S.— Can.

A top-dressing of cow manure in the
fall would be much better than one of
bone meal and dried blood. I cannot
understand why your plants have not
grown faster, unless they are in poor
soil. Lilacs like rich soil and an an-
nual top-dressing of manure, and plants
set out five years ago should now be not
less than five to six feet high. C. W.

TOMATOES UNDER GLASS

A Treatise on a Subject of Wartime Significance

TOn?

IWIWBIUiWIW**

HE subject is one which it
might be well for many-
florists to consider. The de-
creased demand for flowers,
or the comparatively^ low,
prices obtained in oroer to
get rid of them, as compared
with the cost of production, must make
thoughtful men consider what is best
to do in order to keep operating their
greenhouses, and at the same time make
it pay to do so. As flowers are more or
less a luxury, it follows that if this war
lasts for any considerable time the
tendency will be that a further decrease
in demand for flowers must be the re-
sult. That being so, it follows that the
growers will be forced to shut down
parts of their ranges, or grow something
else that is not a luxury, for in these
days of high prices of all foodstuffs
greenhouse tomatoes are just as cheap
as most other things.

I make this plea, gentlemen, in the
hope that instead of closing down part
of your range you will utilize that
space, in so far as it is possible for you
to do so. I feel sure that you will have
no cause for regret; on the contrary,
you will feel a great measure of satis-
faction in the fact that you are really
doing war work, even though the profits
may not be so high as you have been
accustomed to in growing other crops.

The Importance of Bight Variety.

The general public has acquired such
3. liking for tomatoes that the demand
for them the year around is on the in-
crease, and anything which the public
desires that can be home grown is al-
ways much more appreciated, not only
from a patriotic standpoint at this time
in our history, but also because it
reaches them in that fresh condition
which is so desirable in fruits or vege-
tables. The question which naturally
arises to one's mind as a grower is, Will
it pay to grow them? The answer is
found in the demand — anything that
there is a demand for will surely pay,
providing the crop is grown properly.
Good prices are obtained throughout the
period that it is possible to have them,
and if proper attention is given to
every detail I have no hesitation what-
ever in saying that they pay, and pay
well.

The variety grown has much to do
with whether they pay or not. The To-
ronto market, I understand, calls for a
small fruit, whereas the Montreal
market is supplied with fruit of
good size. My experience in testing out
varieties has proven to my satisfaction,
at least, that there are few varieties
worth growing, and for the Montreal
market only one, namely, Livingston's
Globe. This variety has an ideal habit
of growth, and the leaf stalks are far
enough apart, offsetting the necessity of
removing any of them to admit light,
while the foliage itself is not too heavy;

College, Quebec, Can., delivered at the conven-
tion of the Canadian Horticultural Association at

and last, but not least, it is a heavy
cropper, the fruit being most regular in
sh«pe, •v'kth but few small fruits that
cannot be shipped. "With other varie-
ties tried out, the amount of waste in
this respect was altogether out of pro-
portion, even with so-called good forcing
varieties. On this point I should say
that while I do not wish to appear
''Kaiseric," it seems to me that if one
variety is so much better than another
and the same prices are obtained for

both, it is up to the growers, no matter
where they are situated, to grow the
variety that nets them the largest re-
turns, irrespective of what the market
calls for. The markets will fall in line
when there is nothing else left for them
to do.

Profits per Square Foot.

Eegarding the returns per square foot
of bench area, I may say that records
were kept for several years at Mac-
donald College to ascertain the produc-
tiveness of varieties, and here again,
let me say, Globe led them all by a
handsome margin. We continued to
keep records from houses planted en-
tirely with Globe and found that one
house, producing two crops on the same
soil during the year, yielded a total of
over 3,600 pounds. The bench area
devoted to the crop was 716 square
feet; therefore the weight per
square foot was over five pounds.
The prices obtained during the sea-
son fluctuated, according to the
time of year and due to the influence
that imported southern fruit has on the
market for a few weeks, but, notwith-

standing this, good prices are obtained.
For the fall and winter crop this year,
commencing the second week in October
and lasting until the second week in
January, the wholesale prices obtained
ran from 25 to 40 cents per pound, the,
bulk realizing 25 cents, while the tail.
end realized from 30 to 40 cents. The
prices obtained for the spripg and early
summer crop, pf which we usually ship
from the end of April until well into
July, usually start at 25 cents, which
price holds well until the southern fruit
comes in, when the price drops to 20 and
even 15 cents for a couple of weeks,
then soars up again to 20, 22 1^, 25 and
27 cents.

At these prices the gross earnings
per square foot of bench for the two
crops will be $1 or over. Deduct from
this ten per cent commission, express at
35 cents per hundred pounds, the cost of
crate, baskets and wrapping paper, and
you still have from 75 to 80 cents per
square foot.

Now, gentlemen, I give you these fig-
ures to show the possibilities of tomato
growing, and I would like to add that
I know these figures can be improved
upon by the commercial grower, as it
is his business to grow everything to the
highest perfection. He puts his time
on the crop, while with men in my
position the growing is done amid multi-
tudinous daily interruptions.

The Three Crops tn Canada.

Having dealt so far with the possibili-
ties of tomato growing, I will now en-
deavor to outline the actual growing, for
the benefit of those who have but little
or no experience in handling this plant.

While it is not advisable to attempt
to keep up a supply of tomatoes the
year around for reasons I will mention
later, it is quite possible to supply the
market from October until the middle of
January; then again from the end of
April until the end of August. In order
to do this, three sowings are made.
The first sowing is made June 25, the
second October 25 and the third on or
about December 20. The plants from
the June sowing will continue in fruit
from October until January, as before
stated. In the meantime the plants from
the October sowing are being grown
along in pots and as the growth is slow
at that time of year these plants will
average ten inches in height by the
second week in January, when the June-
sown plants are finished. These plants
are removed, the benches manured, dug
over and replanted. Thus the house is
kept occupied by the first two sowings.
The plants from the third sowing can
be grown along in pots until space is
available; for instance, after the violet
crop is finished.

It will be noticed that there is an in-
terval between the middle of January
and the end of April during which no

fruit is being picked, and just at a time
when high prices could be obtained. In
order to have plants in bearing covering
that period, the fruit would have to be
set during the darkest months of the
year, November, December and January.
The weather conditions during that
period render it impossible to obtain a
setting of fruit in sufficient quantity to
make it pay, as experiments conducted
at Macdonald College proved beyond
doubt.
Treatment of Fall and Winter Crops.

In handling plants for fall and winter
crops the seeds are sown in flats of
sandy soil, June 25, as before stated.
When, large enough the seedlings are
pricked off, four inches apart, in flats of
good, loamy soil, and shaded until estab-.
lished. The plants then are exposed to
full sunlight in xin airy house, the plants
having ample r»om in these flats until
August 1. A wteek at least before that
the spring and summer crop will have
finished, giving ample time to empty and
refill the benches, when planting can be
done direct from the flats, thus saving
time and material in potting and caring
for them while in pots. Plants from the
other sowings have to be grown along
in pots until space is available for them,
and we have found that 3-inch pots are
large enough to carry the October-sown
plants until planting takes place the
second week in January; while the De-
cembei^sown plants, which are to re-
place violets, will require 4%-inch pots
to carry them in good shape.

For bench soil a good sandy loam per-
haps is best, but experience has shown
me that a good crop can be grown on a
variety of soils. One year we had to
use ordinary soil from the field,
which, when watered, ran together
like cement. On another occasion
two of the best crops we have
had were grown on soil which had
grown carnations for two years.
I therefore feel safe in saying that if
good drainage is provided and all other
details in the growing are attended to,
any variety of soil will do, with the
possible exception of heavy clay. In
filling the benches with fresh soil the
grower should not add too much manure
or fertilizer, as this is apt to encourage
too rank a growth, which is not desirable
in the early stages of growth. Feeding
can be quite freely given after the
plants have set their fruit.

Benches, Spacing and Staking.

With all fruiting crops the maximum
amount of sunlight is most essential,
especially during the time of year when
the day is short, the sun is low and
roofs are apt to be coated with frost
and snow. The nearer the plants are
to the glass in reason, the better are
the light conditions obtained. This,' of
course, will depend to a large extent on
the type of house used. In an up-to-date
house of the u-bar type the ground
bench will be quite suitable. In ridge
and furrow houses raised benches would
be preferable, especially for the spring
and summer crop, as the setting of the
early trusses of fruit takes place during
February and the early part of March.
Any type of bench will suit the other
two crops, as the setting of fruit takes
place during fine weather.

In order to arrive at something
definite in the matter of distances be-
tween plants, experiments were con-
ducted at the college for several years,

npO those who know Totty only through his writings in The Eeview, the portrait will
1 seem characteristic because of the environment — a house of fine mums — but to
those who also know the man from association with him it will seem characteristic
because it shows him with his coat off. For Totty 's coat always is off in the figurative
sense — there is no more indefatigable worker for the general welfare of the trade.
Because of his experience and ability he is to be found wherever the work is heaviest,
for flower show or trade society — if modesty prevents his volunteering for some con-
spicuous service he is sure to be drafted. Born at Shropshire, England, in 1873, edu-
cated as a private gardener and in business for himself at Madison, N. J., since 1903,
he is unusually well equipped to serve the trade, and his friends plan to place him in
the presidency of the S. A. F. for 1918.

the results showing that, from a commer-
cial standpoint, plants spaced eighteen
to twenty inches apart each way gave
the largest yield per square foot. In
planting the fall and winter crop set the
plants eighteen inches apart, as excel-
lent weather conditions obtain during
the setting period. With the spring and
early summer crop set the plants twenty
inches apart, on account of the less
favorable conditions during the early
period of their growth.

Staking should be done as soon as
possible after planting, for when the
plants are small the work is more rap-
idly accomplished. At the college we
use 5/6 wire stakes clipped to two longi-
tudinal wires, these giving an excellent
support. Bamboo canes have also been
tried out, thinking that they would be

strong enough without the support of
the middle wire, but they doubled up
under the weight of fruit. We have
never tried to support them with binder
twine or other strong cord, but it seems
to me that if four longitudinal wires
were stretched, binder twine would do
nicely. One advantage this form of
staking would have over any other
would be the rapidity with which a
house could be cleaned out. The strings
would simply be cut and everything
thrown out, whereas in using stakes all
ties holding the plants have to be cut
and clips taken off and wires removed.

fruit is boiiiff picked, and just at a time
when hij;i' piitos could bo obtained. In
order to have ])lants in bearing covering
that i)eriod, the fruit wouhl liave to be
set during the darkest months of the
year November, December and January.
Tlie weather conditions iluring that
perioil render it impossible to obtain a
setting of fruit in sullicient quantity to
make it ]>ay, as experiments conducted
at Macdouald College proved beyond
doubt.
Treatment of Fall and Winter Crops.

In liaiulling plants for fall and winter
croi>s the seeds are sown in Hats of
sandy soil, June 25, as before stated.
When large enough the seedlings are
pricked off, four inches apart, in flats of
good, loamy soil, and shaded until estab-
lished. The plants then are exposed to
full sunlight in an airy house, the plants
liaviug ample room in these flats until
August ]. A week at least before that
the spring and summer crop will have
flnislied, giving ample time to empty and
refill the benches, when planting can be
done direct from the flats, thus saving
time and material in i)otting and caring
for them while in pots. Plants from the
other sowings have to be grown along
in pots until space is available for them,
and we have found that 3-inch pots are
large enough to carry the October-sown
plants until ])lanting takes place the
second week in January; while the De-
cembei»-sown plants, which arc to re-
place violets, will require 414-inch pots
to carry them in good shaj^e.

For bench soil a good sandy loam per-
haps is best, but experience has shown
me that a good crop can be grown on a
variety of soils. One year wo hail to
use ordinary soil from the fi«dd,
which, when watered, ran togetiier
like cement. On another occasion
two of the best crops we have
had were grown on soil which had
grown carnations for two years.
I therefore feel safe in saying that if
good drainage is provided and all other
details in the growing are attended to,
any variety of soil will do, with the
possible exception of heavy clay. In
filling tiie l)enclies with fresh soil the
grower should not add too much nuuiure
or fertilizer, as this is apt to encourage
too rank a growth, which is not desirable
in the early stages of growth. I'eeding
can l>e quite freely given after the
plants have .set their fruit.

Benches, Spacing and Staking.

With all fruiting crops the maximum
amount of sunlight is most CPsential.
especially during the time of year when
the day is short, the s>in is low aui!
roofs are apt to be coated with frost
aiul snow. The nearer tht^ jdants are
to the glass in reason, tlH> better are
the light conditions obtained. This, of
course, will depi'ud to a large extent on
the type of house use<l. In an up-to-date
lious<> (if the u bar type the ground
lieiuli will be (piite suitable. In ridge
and furrow houses raised benches would
be preferable, esjiecially for the spring
and summer croji, as the setting of the
oarly trusses of fruit takes place during
February and the early part of March.
Any type of bench will suit the other
two crops, as the setting of fruit lakes
place during fine wenliier.

In order to arrive at something
definite in the m;itter of distances be-
tween plants, experiiru'iits were •■(in-
ducted at the college for several years.

Yellow Maxguerites.

The yellow marguerite has become a
popular flower in some of the large mar-
kets the last few years and as the win-
ter culture becomes better understood
more florists are trying the crop.
WJiile anyone can bloom marguerites in
spting or early summer, only a few have
as yet had f dll i^uocess with them,, as a
winter CB|{).

The idea, held for yearp, that old
plqiits, must bfi earned' Q^r from year
to year is largely cixplo^lja. The best
results are now had from young plants
propagated in late spring and planted
out in July or August, in solid beds.
Some growerjj"ohly allow twelve inches
each way between their plants, but 1
tliink fifteen inches is better.

There are more uncertainties in grow-
ing yellow than white marguerites.
Apparently healthy plants may never
prodii^e a flower, no iaatter h^ much
they grow; others wHl give flowers of
inferior quality and careful W»guing and
selection are necessarjr to get. '*ny thing
like a uniform ero^. | If leaf miners
attack the plants, spray with a nicotine
solution.

Schizantliiis.

The schizanthus makes one of the
most attractive of spring pot plants.
S. Wisetonensis and improvements on
it should be sown now, where handsome
plants are wanted for Easter or the
spring exhibitions. Sow the seed
thinly; it will germinate quickly. Do
not allow the seedlings to become
drawn. Prick off into flats and later
pot off singly. The large specimens
seen at the big eastern flower shows
each spring are grown from single seed-
lings, but have one or two pinchings
and are kept potted along, using a rich
soil for the two final pottings.

Schizanthus needs a cold house; one
not over 45 degrees at night in winter
suits it best.

Show Pelargoniums.

Plants laid on their sides outdoors
about the end of June should now have
well ripened wood of a nutty brown
color. These can now be pruned back
quite hard and watered moderately.
When they have started to break
nicely they can be shaken out, have
the longer roots cut back and be ^re-
potted in pots a couple of sizes smaller
than they have been flowered in.

If young plants are wanted, save
some of the tops when pruning back
and place them in flats or pans of sand
in a coldframe, where they will root in
a few weeks and can be grown along
to flower in 5-inch or 6-inch pots next
spring.

Repairs.

While the weather is extremely warm
and it is almost dangerous to work in
the greenhouses for long periods, some
attention should be given to the boilers,
and any necessary cleaning and repair-
ing should be attended to. It is neces-
sary to do this work now and not to keep

putting it off. Firing may be necessary
within six weeks, in spite of the present
torrid conditions.

Painting and glazing should be done
when the weather is suitable; there is
nothing like getting the roofs tight now.
Perhaps you have a lot of hotbed sashes
which nlped painting and glazing. Why
not haul <theMp into a cool shed and do ^
the needed tjjwrk now! j^d hp\!i| if,bQU<? '
the coai sujji)lyf This jfi iWhat wof*|i4p
many of us now, but l^e outl(]it||(.is "bet- ■
ter than it was. Lay in all zhe cdal
you need now if at all possible. It is
going to be hard to secure it during the
coming fall and winter.

Buddleia Maguiflca.

The beautiful, floriferous and ex-
tremely useful hardy shrub, Buddleia
magnifica, is commencing to bloom. It
is of easy culture, and has with us with-
stood 15 degrees below zero without
protection. Best results are had by cut-
ting plants down to the ground each
spring. If the cutting back is done in
the fall the plants are pretty .sure to •
die. The long, lavender-mauve racemes
are sometimes eighteen inches in length
and stand erect. Plants under quite
ordinary conditions will bloom from
early August until mid-October and the
flowers are sweet scented, well adapted
for cutting and splendid in floral de-
signs.

The two best Buddleias, both forms
of variabilis, are magnifica and superba,
but the former I find to be far the more
floriferous. Propagation by either soft
or hard-wood cuttings is quite simple.

A NEW THOUGHT.

Irwin Bertermann believes that one
of the things for the Florists' Telegraph
Delivery to do is to let every one of the
young men going abroad as soldiers
know that the Florists' Telegraph De-
livery will take care of their needs
while gone. Of course, many of the
soldiers will not care to buy flowers,
but, again, thousands of the Sammies,
officers in particular, arc easily able
to buy flowers. All of them will leave
behind loved ones whom tliey will wish
to remember upon different occasions.
Why not have every member of the F.
T. I), impress upon the thousands going
abroad that their florist friends will
take care of orders for their sweet-
hearts, wives and, in particular, their
Christmas orders? It is doubtful if a
more suitable present could be sent hero

in this country than a beautiful lot of
flowers as a remembrance from the Eu-
ropean trenches. Let the members of
the Florists' Telegraph Delivery make
a united effort so that the fact will be
impressed upon the minds of the young
men before they leave on their noble
mission.

The following is the letter used by
the Bertermann Bros. Co., of Indian-
apolis, in the official paper at Fort Ben-
jamin Harrison, reminding the soldiers
of the above:

TO OUR NOBLE SAMMIES AND FRIENDS.
.\rrangements are being rapidly completed (or

Telegraph Delivery will prove invaluable. We

laying them aside for the coming year, so that

CASKET COVER OF ORCHIDS.

Summer may come and business may
go, but funerals go on forever.

Thus might run the song of the flo-
rist, for funeral work is the mainstay
of the business, in season and out.
when there is little else to create a de-
mand for flowers, some prominent man
dies and the florist profits thereby.

Grimm & Gorly, of St. Louis, will
vouch for this statement. Kecently a
wealthy St. Louis man died and his
family ordered, among other designs,
the casket cover of orchids and valley
shown in the accompanying illustration.
The family order ran into thousands of
dollars. The designer who made the
cover is Henry Duringburg and he re-
ceived many compliments on his work,
both from the trade and the family of
the man whose casket it covered. It
was said to have been one of the hand-
somest and most expensive pieces ever
made in St. Louis.

'NOBODY HOME.

It develops that the pronouncement
of the secretary of the F. T. D. in the
matter of the credit of retail florists,
which appeared in The Review for
August 2, grew out of an incident which
well illustrates the heedlessness with
which some persons conduct their busi-
ness. It appears that a member of the
Florists' Telegraph Delivery Associa-
tion had occasion to send an order for
about $100 to be executed by a member

in another city. The receiving member
wired back for the money before he
would fill the order, utterly forgetful
of the fact that the principal reason for
the organization of the F. T. D. was to
guarantee credits between its members.
It simply was a case of ' ' nobody home. ' '
The further development of the ex-
change business between florists seems
to call for more prompt attention to the
payment for flowers ordered. One large
firm which practices the Golden Eule
fills orders for other florists without
questioning their credit. It now has
on its books, so its president says, about
100 cases of overdue accounts from
florists who are not members of the
F. T. D. and who do not respond to
statements and letters. It is not pos-
sible for the average florist to have at
hand credit information on the standing
of every florist throughout the United
States and to secure the prompt filling
of orders demands that the trade be
prompt in paying the bills. It should be
like a matter of honor.

ACCESSORIES TO THE FRONT!

Interest Flower Buyer In Container.

Each year the accessories of the re-
tailer cut a bigger figure in his busi-
ness— what formerly were sales of
flowers and plants only, stock unaccom-
panied by paid-for containers, now in
many cases are combined salds of flow-
ers and baskets, or of plants in pre-
tentious potware. The sale of stock
and receptacle, of course, is a thing to
strive hard for, inasmuch as two profits
are involved. Another nice point is
that a smart basket, vase or bowl has
the happy effect of enhancing the

"show" value of the stock, thereby
providing the retailer with a leeway for
a much-needed "war tax." A third
factor not to be ignored is that earnings
on basket and vase sales represent an
insurance, so to speak, on repeat orders.
It is obvious that the more baskets and
roses the florist sells the more frequent
will be the repeat orders for stock to
keep the receptacles filled. Some of the
painstaking retailers even circularize
those patrons who, as the sales file
shows, have purchased baskets or vases
that are likely to be permanent adorn-
ments in the home.

Dull Time Right Time To Work Hard.

It is during the summer, when flowers
do not have so strong an appeal to the
buyer, that the unique container plays
a big part. The novel conceits of the
basket and vase makers serve splendidly
in aiding the stock to make a better bid
for the buyers' attention. Many a man
or woman who comes into the store with
the intention of purchasing only a few
flowers for a vase may be attracted by
the filled baskets and vases, and pur-
chase one of them, as well as the stock
to go with it.

The idea presented may be a small
one, but there are many such small mat-
ters that count in the week's business,
particularly if it happens to be a mid-
summer week. Take, for instance, the
summer display in Lowe 's Flower Shop,
at Long Beach, Cal., as pictured here-
with. Note that nearly all the stock
is displayed in receptacles which are
intended as a part of the sale, and not
displayed in plain display units. The
buyer is given the impression that the
pretty basket an^ the fresh roses in it

go together; the palm in the rear is
intended as a gift to someone, but it
really would not do to present it without
the tasteful tub.

Variety Helps To Sell.

Mr. Lowe believes in showing a wide
variety of styles, on the proposition that
at least one of the pieces will take the
fancy of the customer. In the center is
shown a good-sized pond with a foun-
tain, about which are arranged the
items for sale.

The other illustration, showing the in-
terior of the Nicollet avenue store of
the Whitted Floral Co., at Minneapolis,
gives an idea of how the company aims
to sell bowls and urns as well as plants.
No two containers are alike, and the
display requires the entire length of the
store on one side.

A profit of $2 on a plant is business,
but an additional profit of $2 on an ac-
cessory to go with the plant, is better
business.

TOO FAST

That rapid-fire florist and Eotarian,
William C. Gloeckner, of Albany, N. Y.,
has sent his customers a card which
reads:

Your order for flowers for Chicago, placed at
2:48 p. m. In Albany, was delivered in Chicago
at 2:36 p. m. the same day.

How did we do it to beat the time?

Figuring difterence of eastern and central time,
and good service from the Western Union and our
correspondents, In response to our telegraphed in-
structions.

Are You Satisfied?

Send us your order for any city in the United
States or Canada.

Many retailers who are friends of the
F. T. D. idea feel that it is inadvisable
to educate the public to expect too
much. It is not practicable to "beat
the time" on every order, and the flo-
rist who teaches his customers to ex-
pect everything else to be laid aside for
one small order is only laying up trouble
for himself. Instead, educate the pub-
lic to the idea that rush service is not
the best service; teach the buyers to
give time for careful work.

PLANTING THE STOCK.

Look over the violet plants in the
field and remove any runners and dead
foliage. Keep the cultivator constantly
going among' them. They may not be
making growth to please you now.
That will come, however, when we get
cooler nights and a little more moisture.
If the weather is extremely dry and
you have water convenient, let a sprink-
ler run among them, allowing it to run
from two to three hours before chang-
ing. You then are sure the plants will
have a good soaking.

While double violets can be housed
as early as the end of August, do not
on any consideration plant your singles
earlier than the middle or end of Octo-
ber. Several years ago we made the
blunder of housing that best of all
singles, Princess of Wales, early in
September. We got a tremendous crop
of lusty leaves and a limited number
of poor, wishy-washy flowers. Since
that time we have always waited for
cool nights in October before housing
any singles, preferring to let the plants
have some frost on at least a couple of
occasions before lifting. A temperature
of 24 or 26 degrees will suffice to check
the exuberant leaf growth and start
flower production in quantity. Plant
singles early and failure is sure to re-
sult, no matter what you may be told
to the contrary.

Years ago, any old houses, even those
with 6x8 glass and heavy rafters, were
considered good enough for violets.
While you can grow violets and some
other plants after a fashion in such
structures, if you want really good re-
sults give them light, roomy and well
ventilated houses, not small, dark, hot
and stuffy ones.

VIOLETS POOR SECOND YEAR.

I have a bed of 400 violet plants
which were planted last August and
from which I picked flowers all winter.
Will these plants do as well again this
year, if I trim them back and feed
them, or shall I set new rooted cuttings
and discard the old plants! The variety
is Governor Herrick.

L. E. G.— D. C.

A Drive on "Artware," by VhHted Floral Co., Minneapolis.

No, you will not get good results by
attempting to carry your violets over a
second season. To achieve success with
violets you should have taken runners
or divisions in spring, planted them out
in nursery rows and lifted them in Oc-
tober, after the plants had been sub-
jected to one or two moderate freezings.
I would advise you to use the rooted
cuttings for the coming season. If these
are planted out, well and good, but do
not house them until about the end of
October, otherwise you will have many
leaves and few flowers. C. W.

OULLETT'S COMPLETED RANGE.

Ten Houses Just Finished.

With the completion of the additions
to the GuUett & Sons range of green-
houses at Lincoln, 111., which, by the
way, is one of the few establishments
that have been materially increased this
season, the firm has one of the most
up-to-date places in the trade. A recital
of some of the outstanding features of
the range will give an idea of its
modernity and size.

It has in its boilers an aggregate of
2,000 horsepower. It has electric re-
frigeration. It has three watering sys-
tems, all cross-connected for use in any
part of the vast glass area," One of these
systems has ninety pounds pressure, one
forty pounds and the third is used for
manure. A section man in any part of
the range has any of the three systems
at his service by the turn of a valve.
The plant houses are one-quarter of a
mile from the boilers, and yet the entire
range is heated from the central heating
plant by means of the McKee vacuum
system. The pipe is carried under-
ground in special tile conduits provided
with sewer drains and insulation. There
are 320 benches, 4x250 feet, filled with

packing room. This building is so ar-
ranged that the firm's motor trucks can
drive through it for purposes of loading
and unloading. The building is heated
and electrically lighted.

The American Greenhouse Mfg. Co.,
Chicago, which furnished all the mate-
rial and equipment, and erected the
range, used 310 carloads of material,
making six trains of more than fifty
cars each.

With this record of activities during
the last year, Gullett & Sons may well
claim the distinction of being among
the best business boosters, not only in
the florists' trade, but in the commer-
cial world at large.

SHIP AHOY!— MOTT IS SKIPPER.

Visitors to the convention of the S.
A, F. at New York August 21, who come
from points west of Albany, N. Y., have
an informal but cordial invitation from
the Albany Florists' Club to break their
journey at the New York capital. Any
of the following members are within
easy reach and will gladly extend cour-
tesies: F. A. Danker, William C.
Gloeckner, Fred Goldring, W. W. Han-
nell, Edward Tracey, of The Eosery,
Fred Henkes, of Henkes & Sons, and

them. Their unique range is well worth
the time it would take to visit it.

Poughkeepsie follows, and here the
genial Saltfords, father and sons, may
be seen, busy even in vacation time; and
their well kept place rewards their ef-
forts, Conrad C. Gindra is also to be
found and most likely will be ready to
join the convention party. Across the
river is Highland, where A, Ley & Bro.

Thomas Tracey, of the Albany Cut
Flower Exchange,

A delightful and restful trip follow-
ing a hot and dusty experience on the
railroad is a refreshing thing to sug-
gest: Why cannot the conventionists
from the west get off at Albany and
there connect with the Hudson river
boats for New York? All through rail-
road tickets are good on any of the
Hudson boats, which leave every week
day at 8:30 a, m, and arrive at New
York at 6 p, m.

Boarding, for instance, the "Wash-
ington Irving" on a bright, warm day,
such as we iare now being favored with,
we take our chair and settle down for
a long and pleasant sail. We pass many
large ice houses, recalling to mind that
there is a close affinity between ice and
coal just now,

Hudson is the first stopping place,
the home of the Allen Greenhouses, the
proprietor of which does a snug retail
business. CatskUl is the next port of
call, and there the veteran Henry Han-
sen will leave his prosperous place to
join the crowd, which will surely be
augmented by the addition of Brother
Snyder, of Ehinebeck, At Kingston
Point we remember the Burgevin broth-
ers, and would not be surprised to see

with its immense graystone buildings,
now so intensely interesting,

Nearing our journey's end, we pass
Tarrytown and Scarboro, both asso-
ciated with the well known name of
F. R. Pierson, while beyond Nyack lies
the range of Alexander Burns, conceded
to be the largest shipper of lilies to
Manhattan. Passing the Palisades re-
calls R. W. Clucus at his extensive
nursery at Sparkill. All are pleased
to know that he is again convalescent.

On our left we are deeply impressed
with the view of the tomb of General
Grant, and as our boat threads its way
through the fleet of Holland steamers,
now lying idle, the sight strengthens
the opinion now generally accepted that
the outlook for any Dutch bulbs this fall
is none too promising; but we are deter-
mined to make the best of the situation
and take all the pleasure we can while
the opportunity offers. With this de-
termination we arrive at our destina-
tion, tired but happy. W. M.

PLANTING THE STOCK.

Look over the violet plants in the
field and remove any runners and dead
foliage. Keep the cultivator constantly
fijoin}; among them. They may not be
making growth to ])lease you now.
That will come, however, Avhen we get
cooler nights and a little more moisture.
If the weather is extremely dry and
you have water convenient, let a sprink-
ler run among them, allowing it to run
from two to three hours before chang-
ing. You then arc sure the plants will
have a good soaking.

While double violets can he housed
as early as the end of August, do not
on any consideration plant your singles
earlier than the middle or end of Octo-
ber. Several years ago we made the
blunder of housing that best of all
singles, I'rincess of Wales, early in
September. We got a tremendous crop
of lusty leaves and a limited number
of poor, wishy-washy flowers. Since
that time we have always waited for
cool nights in October before housing
any singles, preferring to let the plants
have some frost on at least a couple of
occasions before lifting. A temperature
of 24 or 2(5 degrees will suffice to check
the exuberant leaf growth and start
tlower ])roduction in quantity. I'lant
singles early and failure is sure to re-
sult, no matter what you may be told
to the contrary.

Years ago, any old houses, even those
with ()x8 glass and heavy rafters, were
considered good enough for violets.
While you can grow violets and some
other jdants after a fashion in such
structures, if you want really good re-
sults give them light, roomy and well
\entiljited houses, not small, dark, hot
;md stuflv ones.

VIOLETS POOR SECOND YEAR.

I have a bed of 4(Ml violet jdants
which wtM'c planted last August and
from which I jiicked llowers all winter.
Will these jdants do as well again this
year, if 1 trim them back and i\'i'i\
them, or sha.ll 1 set tiew rooted cuttings
;ind discard the old plants? The variety
is (m>\ ernor I lerrick.

L. E. G.— D. C.

A Drive on "Artware," by Whitted Floral Co., Minneapolis.

Xo, you will not get good results by
attempting to carry your violets ovi^r :i
secoiul seasnii. To achieve success with
violets you sli(>uld have taken runners
or di\'isions in s|iring. plante(l them out
in nursery rows and lifted them in Oc-
tober, after the plants had been sub-
jected to one or two moderate freezings.
1 wduM ;icl\ ise you to use the rooted
cuttings for the coming season. If these
are jdanted out, well and good, but do
not house them until alxmt the end of
October, otherwise you will have many
leaves and few flowers. ('. W.

GULLETT'S COMPLETED EANGE.

Ten Houses Jiist Finished.

Witli tlic foiiiplotiou of tlie additions
to the (iullott & Sons ranjrc of gro(>ii-
liousos at Lincoln, J II., wliicli, \>y tlu;
wav is one of the few establishments
that have been materially increased this
season, the firm has one of the most
up-to-date places in the trade. A recital
of sonic of the outstanding features of
the range will give; an idea of its
modernity and si/e.

It has in its ])oilers an aggregate of
2,000 horsepower. It has electric re-
frigeration. It has three watering sys-
tems, ail cross-connected for use in any
j)art of the vast glass area. One of these
systems has ninety ])oun(ls pressure, one
forty ])ounds and the third is used for
manure. A section man in any part of
the range has any of the three systems
at liis service by the turn of a valve.
Tiie ])lant houses are one-cpiarter of a
mile from the boilers, and yet the entire
range is heiited from the central heating
]ilant by means of the McKec; vacvium
system. The ]upe is carried under-
ground in special tile conduits jnovided
with sewer drains and insulation. Tliere
are 320 benches, 4xl:50 feet, filled ^vith

jiacking room. Tiiis building is so ar
langed that the firm's motor trucks can
drive through it for purposes ot' loading
and unloading. The building is licuted
and electrically lighted.

The American (Jreenhouse Mfg. Co.,
<'liicago, whiidi furnished all tiie mate
rial and eciuipment, and elected the
range, used 310 carloads of mateiial.
making six trains of more than lifty
cars each.

With this record of aclixit ics during'
the last year, (Jullett & Sons may well
claim the distinction of being among
the best business boosters, not only in
the llorists' trade, but in the commer-
cial world at large.

great extent except as he has raised

body of the trade." Inasmuch as this
is a mild criticism of the policy adopted
by the board of directors of the F. H. A.,
a few words of explanation may be
necessary.

The F. H. A. is an association which
is purely mutual and is operated without
profit to any one, because insurance is
effected at actual cost. Allow me to ask,
for example, if the Editor of The Re-
view were altruistic enough to hand
out his advertisements without profit,
how much money would he be willing
to appropriate to advertise the fact?

To my mind, the directors of the F. H.
A. have adopted a wise policy in using
the money placed in their trust for the
benefit of F. H. A. members, rather than
use it in inducing others to share the
benefits which the members have been
wise enough to secure.

Equitable adjustments, prompt pay-
ment of losses and methods of promotion
that have never conflicted with the in-
surance laws of any state, have given
exceedingly satisfactory results.

FOUR CLEVELANDERS AT PLAY.

After you have worked hard all win-
ter, spending ten or more hours in the
store, hustling out bouquets and de-
signs, and being on the job seven days
a week, and then, when summer comes
and you have a chance to take a vaca-
tion, you go on a fishing trip with some
good fellows, and have excellent luck,
"ain't it a grand and glorious feel-
ing?"

The faces of the four Clevilanders
shown in the accompanying illustration
prove conclusively that they were feel-
ing grand and glorious. They were at
Pine lake, which is near Youngstown,
O., and assert that during their stay
they caught thirty-six black bass and
ns bluegills.

The barefoot fisherman is A. B. Bar-
ber, of the Jones-Russell Co., and sec-
retary of the Cleveland Florists' Club;
the two in the center are Frank J. Rit-
zenthaler, of Knoble Bros., and Charles
E. Russell, of the Jones-Russell Co.; the
other is Frank A. Friedley, who needs
no introduction.

Needless to say that these four re-
turned to Cleveland full of energy, and
ready for a strenuous season. Work,
they say, is worth while when at the
end of the season there waits such a va-
cation as this one.

INDOOR SWEET PEAS.

There is no advantage in sowing the
early indoor sweet peas befdre the mid-
dle or end of August. If started too soon,
the intense heat half ruins them, and
while the flowers may be had as early
as October, they are not specially
needed so early in the season, when
mums and other flowers are abundant.
From Thanksgiving onward, however,
the market takes to them more kindly.
Christmas Pink Spencer sells as well as
anything, and if its white companion is
also grown you will have two really good
varieties. It is true that the old gran-
diflora varieties will bloom earlier and
more abundantly, but their flowers will
not command the same prices as the
Spencers.

It is no use trying to grow sweet peas
in small, narrow, dark and stuffy houses.
Give them a house as roomy as possible,
with plenty of head room, and remember
that they succeed best in solid beds
which have been well enriched with
rotted cow or horse manure. Start the
seeds in flats or pans of clear sand.
Plant these out carefully four inches
apart in the rows, and if you are grow-
ing any new or expensive sorts go to the
trouble of potting off the seedlings
singly in 2Vi>-inch pots before planting
out. You are sure, then, to lose none.
Of course, you can sow them directly
in the rows, but good winter sweet pea
seed is costly, and I think it true econ-
omy to start them in sand and trans-
plant them later. Sand gives a better
germination than loam.

HOME-GEOWN SWEET PEA SEED.

There are some good looking ripe seeds
on my Spencer sweet pea vines and I
should like to know what success I am
likely to have if I plant these seeds the
coming season. A. S. — HI.

There is . no reason why your sweet
pea seeds should not prove perfectly sat-
isfactory, s,nd if you are growing only
one or two special varieties they should
come fairly true to color — more so, per-
haps, than many which are sold.

Try nicotine, which will reach the
pest better than any other insecticide.
Use it according to the printed instruc-
tions on the cans. There are several
excellent brands of liquid nicotine on
the market. Spray in the evening, not
when the sun is shining, and syringe
with cold water early the next morn-
ing.

QABDENIAS FOB CHBISTMAS.

Please tell me how to grow gardenias
so as to have them in bloom by Decem-
ber. I tried them this season and they
did not bloom until April. I planted
them in the bed at the end of June and
they grew well and made a great many
buds by November, I then took off
all surplus shoots around the buds, ex-
pecting to have plenty of blooms for
Christmas, but from that time on they
did not do well. In March the buds
began to swell. L kept them in a tem-
perature of 70 t<>. 72 degrees. Is it
customary to disUiid these plants! I
have 400 plants and from the middle of
April I have been cutting from 100 to
200 blooms per day, but at that date
they are too late to be of much value in
the trade. Would you advise carrying
over the old plants for another year!

C. J. E.— Ga.

Gardenias are by no means an easy
crop to flower for the holidays. The
soil should be quite porous, so that
water passes readily through it, and
should consist of fibrous loam with the
finer particles screened out, dried cow
manure well broken up and partly de-
cayed leaves. Some coarse sand also
should be added, especially if the loam
is heavy, to give the soil more porosity.
A few growers succeed in flowering gar-
denias well in solid beds, but I have

to five inches of soil and do the bench-
ing in June.

Your winter temperature of 70 to 72
degrees is too high for night. At night
62 to 65 degrees is ample and on severe
nights 60 degrees is better. Ventilate
a little when the temperature gets up to
72 degrees on cloudy days or 75 degrees
with sun. Gardenias need careful
watering to avoid a loss of buds. It is
a safe plan to allow the benches to dry
out tolerably well between waterings.
Give the plants a thorough syringing
twice a week even in midwinter, to keep
them clean, selecting clear mornings for
the work. Lighter sprayings may be

given at shutting-up time in the after-
noon.

Gardenias will bloom earlier in pots
than in benches. Last season I had a
batch in 8-inch pots which started to
bloom about November 20 and gave a
fine Christmas crop. These same plants
bloomed profitably until May 20. They
were grown in a house with poinsettias
and begonias, where the average mini-
mum in winter was 55 degrees, and
occasionally lower. I think you kept
your plants too close and warm. Keep
them somewhat cooler and air more
freely and you should get much earlier
flowers. C. W.

With liberty loans, war taxes and
other big figures goes the information
that the Poehlmann Bros. Co., of Chi-
cago, uses 39,000 tons of soft coal during
the season.

Growers at Philadelphia were puzzled
last week by the receipt of printed
forms from the government asking them
as to their fuel supply. "With whom
have you placed your contract?" was
the question that bothered the growers
most. How much and what kind of
t'oal the different industries require is
probably what the government is driv-
ing at.

Paul Janisch, of the Broad Ripple
Floral Co., Indianapolis, recently pur-
chased an automobile. Since then he
has been purchasing liberty bonds. No,
not the kind that bears interest at the
rate of three and one-half per cent, but
the kind that gets one what the word
implies, freedom. Twice he has been
arrested for speeding; a like number
of times he has engaged in disputes
with policemen about how long his car
has been parked. Not unlike his great
namesake, Paul, the evangelist, Paul
now preaches many sermons, but with-
out exception they are on one subject —
policemen.

Sam Seligman went fishing to rest.
Asked how he managed to do both at
one time, Sam replied: "I had plenty
of time to rest while fishing, because the
big fish didn't bother me much; I only
had to wake up now and then to throw
a minnow back into the water."

It sounds almost too good to be true,
but it is fact that the H. Weber &
Sons Co., at Oakland, Md., heats its
houses with natural gas, of which there
is an abundance, and when it becomes
so cold that coal is necessary — why, the
local miners are glad to furnish the
article at $1.50 per ton. (Printer, set
that $1.50, not $3.50.)

Some men are bom wealthy, some
achieve wealtli, while others have
wealth thrush- upon them. Several
years ago Charles Thorley, the New
York retailer, had a lease on a store
where now stands the Times building.
He is said to have received $30,000 a
year for the surrender of the lease.
Now the building at Fifth avenue and
Forty-sixth street, known as the "Thor-
ley corner," has been sold, and Mr.
Thorley is found to be the possessor of
another lease. It appears certain that
lightning will strike in the same place
a second time.

FOUR CLEVELANDERS AT PLAY.

After you have worked hard all win-

signs, and being on the job seven days
a week, and then, when summer comes
and you have a eliance to take a vaca-
tion, you go on a fishing trip with some
good fellows, and have excellent luck,
■'ain't it a grand and glorious feel-
ing?"

The faces of the four Clevelanders
shown in the accompanying illustration
pro\e conclusively that they were feel-
ing grand and glorious. They were at
Fine lake, which is ne:ir Youngstowii,

they caught thirty-six black bass and

retary of the Cleveland Florists' Club;
the two iji the center are Frank J. Kit-
zeiithaler, of Knoble Bros., and Charles
K. Kussell, of the Jones-Hussell Co.; the
other is Frank A. Fricdiey, who needs
no introduction.

Needk'ss to say that these four re-
turned to Cleveland full of energy, and
icady for a strenuous season. Work,
they say, is worth while when at the
end of the season there waits such a va-
cation as this one.

INDOOR SWEET PEAS.

There is no advantage in sowing the
early indoiu' sweet [icas before the mid-
dle or end of August. If started too soon.
the intense heat half ruins them, and
while the flowers may be had as early
as October, they are not specially
needed so early in the season, when
mums and other flowers .are abund.ant.
From Thanksgiving onward, however,
the market takes to them morc^ kindly.

Tt is no use trying to grow sweet peas
in small, narrow, dark and stuffv houses.
Cive them a hcuise as roomy as possible,

that they succeed best in solid b»>ds
which have been well enriched with

trouble of potting off the seedliiig.s

Of course, you can sow them directly
in the rows, but good winter sweet pea

jdant them later. Sand gives a better
oerminatiou than loam.

did not bloom until April. I j)lanted
tliem in the bed at the end of June and

all surplus shoots around the buds, ex-
pecting to h;ive jdenty of blooms for
<'liristmas, but from tiiat time on they
tiid not do well. In March the buds
ijogan to swell. I kej)t them in a tem-
perature of 7o to 72 degrees. Is it
<-ustomary to disbud tlicse jdants? I
have 400 plants and from tlie middle of
A])ril I have been cutting from loO to
200 blooms per day, but at that date
they are too late to be of much value in
the trade. Would you advise carrying
over the old jtjants for another vear.'

C. J. R.— Ga.

Cardenias are by no means an easy
croji to flower for tlie holidays. The
soil should be quite jiorous, so that
wati'i passes readily tliroiigh it, and
should consist of librous loam with the
liner particles screened out. dried cow
inaiiuro W(dl broken up and partly de-
cayed lea \ OS. Some t-oarse sand also
should be added, especially if the loam
is heavy, to give the soil more porosity.

denias well in solid beds, but I have
had the best success with them in raised
benches, with heating pipes running be-
low them to give a little bottom heat.

NEW YOBE.

The Market.

The extreme heat of the first five days
of last week paralyzed the cut flower
business. However, relief came August
3, in the shape of a violent thunder
storm accompanied by hail. There
practically was no demand for stock of
any variety until August 4, when the
wholesalers cleaned up fairly well at
good prices.

The prices of orchids and longiflorum
lilies advanced during the week. Good
gigas sold for 75 cents and $1 each
Saturday. The supply is limited, and
so is the demand. Lilies ranged from
$3 to $6 per hundred, while some of the
selected stock sold at even higher
prices.

The effects of the heat were shown
in the shipments of roses received dur-
ing the week. Almost every rose that
arrived was open. Thousands were sold
at 25 and 50 cents per hundred, and
other thousands found no buyers. The
few good roses that arrived sold readily
at satisfactory prices. American Beau-
ties were scarce. Good flowers sold as
high as $25 per hundred August 4.
Good white roses were in demand, but
the supply was short.

There were few carnations in the
market. Those that did arrive did not
bring more than $1 per hundred. Val-
ley was scarce and selected stock sold
as high as $6 per hundred. The de-
mand was light. The market already
is flooded with asters, but the best
flowers sold at $4 per hundred. The
great mass of asters, however, brought
only $1 and $1.50 per hundred. Gla-
dioli, also, are in big supply, with a light
demand. They sold at $1 per hundred.
There' is a great abundance of summer
flowers.

The demand at the nearby summer re-
sorts is light. In the city and Brooklyn
retailers are doing little besides funeral
work.

Various Notes.

The hail storm August 3 did consid-
erable damage to greenhouse ranges in
the neighborhood of New York. The
Eose Hill Nurseries at New Rochelle
lost 3,000 panes of glass. Outdoor stock
also suffered.

The last regular meeting of the New
York Florists' Club before the S. A. F.
convention will be held Monday eve-
ning, August 13, at the club's rooms in
the Grand Opera House building. There
will be exhibits of gladioli and final
arrangements for the convention will
be made.

Philip F. Kessler is handling the cut
of 35,000 lilies at the Charles Smith's
Sons place. They are exceptionally
fine and bring high prices. The cut is
from 1,000 bulbs. After the S. A. F.
convention, Mr. Kessler will go to his
summer home in the Adirondack moun-
tains to stay until October.

William Hackland, who has been with
the New York Cut Flower Co. for many
years, has been appointed secretary-
treasurer of the company, filling the
vacancy made by the death of George
W. Hiilman in July. Percy Richters,
who has fully recovered from an attack
of pneumonia, has been appointed assist-
ant bookkeeper.

R, J. Irwin was in Boston last week
and is at Montreal this week attending
the convention of the Canadian Horti-
cultural Society. A. L. Rickards, of the

sen, and Charles and David MacNiff, of
the MacNiff force, also are on vacations.

The building in which is Charles
Thorley's flower store, 562 Fifth ave-
nue, has been sold, but Mr. Thorley is
protected by a lease that has several
years to run.

One of the victims of the heat July
31 was Albert E. Wilson, who for many
years had a flower stand at Thirty-third
street and Eighth avenue. Mr. Wilson
was 68 years of age and was well known
among the members of the trade.

J» K. Allen, P. J. Smith and Walter
Sheridan were among the New York
wholesalers who attended the outing of
the Essex county, N. J., florists August
1. There were 200 present and all had

The eighth annual exhibition of the
American Gladiolus Society will be held
at the Museum building, Bronx park,
August 23 to 26. The exhibition will be
under the auspices of the New York

Florists' Club, the New York Botanical
Garden and the Horticultural Society of
New York. There will be liberal prizes.

The popular varieties of gladioli in
the New York market this season are
America, Afterglow, Peace, Prosperity,
Crystal White, Dawn, Peachblow, La
Luna and Chicago White.

The Convention Garden, Bronx park,
is rapidly rounding into form and will
be one of the points of interest for the
visitors to the S. A. F. convention.
About twenty of the leading growers
will be represented there. The space
in the Grand Central Palace allotted to
the trade exhibitors is nearly all en-
gaged. Forty separate exhibits have
been booked, the leading firms of the
country are participating and all
branches of the trade will be repre-
sented.

iMews from

Haarlem, Holland. — The General Bulb
Growers' Society has continued its
meetings with regularity this year and
during the blooming season made many
awards to a considerable number of nov-
elties.

Haarlem, Holland. — It is the opinion
of the most conservative men in the
bulb trade that prices will be high for
some seasons after the war. There has
been some reduction in acreage this
season and if conditions go on as at
present indicated there will be a steady
curtailment of production as long as
the war lasts. This reduction, of course,
is of the cheaper varieties, as it takes
as much land and care to grow cheap
varieties as it does to grow those that
represent more money. When the war
ends it will take some time to restore
stocks and production to the level of
recent years and the demand is likely
to increase at least as fast as the supply,
especially in view of the fact that the
markets of England, France and Ger-
many now are closed and are pretty
sure to stay so as long as the war lasts.

Sassenheim, Holland. — The market is
fairly stiff on the popular varieties of
tulip, partly perhaps because all other
commodities are high, but also partly
because of decreased supply. Word
comes from various points in the bulb
district of small growers who plowed up
their patches of the cheaper bulbs in
spring while there still was time to
plant cabbage or potatoes. *

London, England. — The British
Wholesale Florists' Federation has
been urging its members to assist in the
production of food and the secretary
states that in many places under glass,
ferns, flowers, etc., have given place to
tomatoes, cucumbers, lettuces, early po-
tatoes, and many millions of vegetable
seedlings for the use of war-time gar-
deners. While retaining stocks of flow-
ering subjects for future development
and keeping up a modest supply for the
florists' shops (most of the flowers go
to military and civil hospitals), flower
growers are greatly increasing the sup-
ply of food, notwithstanding the short-
age of labor.

OBITUARY

M. Sozaln-Boucharlat.

Word comes from France of the death
of M. Eozain-Boucharlat, of Lyons. A
generation ago his was a familiar name
to chrysanthemum growers. Etoile de
Lyon was probably the largest Japanese
chrysanthemum ever raised up to the
time of its introduction in 1888. It was
in the same nursery that the famous
Mme. Castex Desgranges was raised.
Deceased, who was a prominent man in
the Lyons world of horticulture, was
68 years old. Chrysanthemums, dahlias
and pelargoniums were his specialties.

Heinilch Auguste Jahn.

H. A. Jahn, of New Bedford, Mass.,
whose death occurred in that city August
4, was one of Massachusetts' pioneer
carnation hybridizers, and was well
known to many growers. He was 59
years of age. One of his introductions,
Jahn's Scarlet, was introduced a num-
ber of years ago. He also originated
other varieties and of late years he and
his estimable wife had specialized in
dahlias. The writer had known Mr.
Jahn for twenty years and found him
to be an excellent botanist, a good
grower and one who took a whole-
souled delight in his calling. His pass-
ing will bring pangs of regret to many.

7 of J. C. Elspermann. The decedent,
who was 60 years of age and had suf-
fered from a complication of diseases
for many years, was taken suddenly ill
July 28, and it was soon evident that it
would be his last.

Mr. Elspermann was born at St. Jo-
seph, Ind., and at the age of 14 began his
career as a florist under the tutelage of
J. D. Carmody, of Evansville, one of the
pioneer members of the S. A. F. Some
years later Mr. Elspermann began a
business for himself, and in this he was
said to be most successful. He is sur-
vived by his wife, one daughter and
three sons, Joseph, Carl and Theodore,
who will continue the business. E. L. F.

The Market.

There was a small supply of stock
arriving in the market last week, but as
business was light it was adequate for
the demand. Funeral work and an occa-
sional sale of cut flowers, or a basket,
was all that was doing at the retail
stores.

Some really good quality white and
purple asters reached the market last
week and found a demand. Large con-
signments of gladioli came daily from
local growers. They also were in de-
mand, especially the lighter shades.
Choice stock sold for $4 and $5 per
hundred. Carnations still are arriving,
but they are of poor quality.

Quantities of short-stemmed roses are
coming in. They are usually of poor
quality and bring low prices. Easter
lilies are selling well and usually clean
up. Valley continues scarce, and there
are no good sweet peas. A few dahlias

and cosmos are coming in. Larkspurs,
gypsophilas, phloxes and candytuft are
in good supply and are in demand.
There is plenty of green to be had at
all times.

Various Notes.

The regular meeting of the St. Louis
County Growers' Association was held
August 1. The trustees were instructed
to arrange for the annual outing, which
will be held during August, the date not
being fixed. There was considerable
discussion regarding the meeting of the
S. A. F. and the National Flower Show
to be held in St. Louis next April. The
association declared it would lend all
assistance possible to make the show
a success.

Mr. and Mrs. Henry Berning left
August 1 for Colorado. They will be
gone several weeks. During Mr. Bern-
ing's absence, the store will be in charge

the last. Some good quality summer
stock from the W. A. Rowe establish-
ment at Kirkwood was handled by the
company last week.

William Smith has been supplying his
force with fresh vegetables from his
farm, to which he makes daily trips by

gratulations.

Mrs. Carew Sanders, widow of the
late Carew Sanders and motTier of C. C.
Sanders, died at her home, 5738 Vernon

FORCED PAMPAS GRASS.

What are the names of the varieties
of green and white or green and red
pampas grass, such as are forced for
Christmas? G. A. — O.

Cortaderia, or Gynerium argenteum,
is the pampas grass of horticulture.
There is a variegated form in commerce.
I have never heard of this particular
grass being forced for Christmas, or
any other occasion. It is a grass of ro-
bust habit. Have you the right plant in
mind? I doubt if the cortaderias would
be of any value for Christmas. C. W.

BESULTS.

We give them. You get them.

We both have them.

During this season of quiet business,
prepare for the rush that is to come soon.

Because of the high cost of galvan-
ized wire, some of those who manufacture
carnation supports as a side line have
discontinued the business.

During the next to the last week in
August, much money received for floral
decorations will be used to decorate the
gay white way in New York city.

This is the open season for the coal
mine operators. Several of the states
have organized posses to hunt them down,
and the public is cheering them on.

It is predicted that the war will elim-
inate many unnecessary things. Florists,
think of the man who manufactures the
furs that women wear in the summer!

Necessity is not only the mother of
invention, but is a teacher of floriculture.
Witness the successful experiments Amer-
ican florists are making in growing stock
heretofore imported.

While there has been no program of
entertainment provided for the visitors
to the S. A. F. convention. Secretary John
Young intimates that the New Yorkers
are most hospitable fellows.

Many a man in the trade who tries to
save money seems to think the way to do
it is to withhold it from his creditors;
that perbaps is an easier course than to
deny himself habitual indulgence, personal
or business, until tjUfe saving, applied to
the debts and to the accumulation of cap-
ital, has secured financial safety.

The call for field-grown carnation
plants, like many other items of stock,
is later than usual this year.

Gladioli now are coming into the cut
flower markets in considerable quantity,
the season for them being three or four
weeks later than usual.

The second preliminary schedule of
the Fifth National Flower Show, to be
held at St. Louis, April 6 to 15, 1918,
has been issued. Copies may be obtained
by addressing John Young, secretary,
53 West Twenty-eighth street, New York
city.

PLEASE NOTE.

Each wreek a number of letters con-
taining advertising instructions reach
The Eeview whik the paper is on the
press — just a few hours earlier and they
would have had attentiqn a week S099er
than is possible.

It is the aim to give prompt service,
but to secure it advertisers should note:
"It is impossible to guarantee the in-
sertion, discontinuance or alteration of
any advertisement unless instructions
are received by 4 p. m. Tuesday."

IT DELIVERS THE GOODS.

The Eeview each week acts as a trav-
eling salesman for hundreds of indi-
viduals and concerns who have some-
thing they want to sell to florists. But
The Eeview is many times as efficient
as one salesman, or a group of salesmen,
because it calls on more than 12,000
florists each week, a task that would
tax the speed of the speediest bunch of
traveling men. It not only calls on flo-
rists, but it sells them the goods. Here
is the proof:

Please discontinue our begonia ad in the Clas-
sified columns. We sold 8,000 of them in four
weeks. — O. M. Reburn & Co., Ciiicago, HI., Au-
gust 4, 1917.

Discontinue our ad in The Florists' Review, as
our stock of Sprengeri, smilax and mums is
about sold ont. The writer must say that the
insertion in your paper certainly brought good
results. — The Miami Floral Co., A. A. Kramer,
manager, Dayton, O., August 3, 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.

MR. PEABODY ON THE DEFENSIVE.

In recent issues The Eeview has pub-
lished correspondence with F. S. Pea-
body, chairman of the committee on coal
production of the Council of National
Defense. The Eeview is only one of
many challenging the action of the com-
mittee as a party in the fixing of coal
prices, as the daily press, which at
first heralded a reduction, has come to
the view held by The Eeview from the
first, that Mr. Peabody and his commit-
tee of coal men were playing into the
hands of the trade from which they were
chosen. The result of the weight of
criticism has been to place Mr. Peabody
on the defensive. Where he challenged
The Eeview 's early statement that
prices had been fixed but not reduced,
he now writes as follows:

The object of establishing tentative maximum
prices was to reduce the price o^ coal in the
east, whlckf from coneniners. Bidding one against
the other, .had reached abnormal leiels, being as
high as $6 and iffT a tbn M thd> Uiie; -flbd to
prevent the prices in the central and western
parts of the country from going higher. This
could only be done by the voluntary offer of
operators to recognize any tentative prices that
might be established, pending an Investigation
by the Federal Trade Commission as to the cost
of production in the various producing districts.

There have been such marked increases in the
cost of production during the last year, through

increased labor expense and increased cost of
all material used, such as steel rails, copper
wire, powder, mining machinery, etc., and in-
creases in the overhead expenses, which through
light operating time, on account of inadequate
car supply, have materially Increased the cost
per ton, that It was deemed wise to make these
prices tentative until an investigation should
determine whether any changes are to be made.
I am not prepared at this time to say that tlie
tentative prices established are correct in all
cases, but I do know that this action resulted
in radical reductions in the eastern producing
districts and prevented prices from going higher
in the central and western parts. I have since
had complaints from several operators that the
prices established are less than their actual cost
of production.

So utterly opposed to Mr. Peabody 's
statement of facts is the Illinois com-
mittee of the Council of National De-
fense, on which coal consumers have
representation, that the state legisla-
ture is being asked to regulate the pric«
of fuel in Illinois.

THE WANT AD DEPA»l!MENT. |

No doubt you have noted the business"-
like appearance of the jWanted and For
Sale department of The Eeview; small
type, compactly spaced, as many oppor-
tunities as it is possible to put on the
pages. Opportunities to buy. to sell
and to hire. It works quicklj^, like this:

stop the ad; I have sold the boilei'; the first
insertion did It.— L. D. Fisher, Sterling, Kan.,
July 26, 1917.

If you have nothing to offer in the
Wants and For Sale, watch what the
other man offers.

VACATION TIME.

Hundreds of those actively engaged in
the florists' business are now away on
their vacations and, as would be expect-
ed of those handling the products of
nature, a great majority are spending
their play time in the country, or at
the lake or sea shore. They are taking
advantage of the dull summer months
to get fit and full of energy for the ac-
tivities of the months of winter. The
busy season means long hours of stren-
uous work for florists, but just now they
are reaping the benefits of their labor
and are enjoying their vacations with
the freedom that comes only from know-
ing that their rest has been earned, and
that there is nothing calling them back
to work.

CHICAQO.

The Market.

Business continues to hold up satis-
factorily in the wholesale cut flower
market. Taken by" and large, the qual-
ity of the stock for this season of the
year is good and no general oversupply
can be complained of. In fact, with the
latter days of last week a decided
shortening of stock, and especially of
roses, was felt. With carnations practi-
cally out, this shortage of good roses
was instrumental i« increasing the de-
mand for gladioli and asters, which are
of good quality and now arrive in ample
quantities, and for other summer stock,
large shipments of which were moved at
^satisfactory prices. The market con-
tinued strong August 6, but a falling off
in demand took place August 7.

There are only a few American Beau-
ties obtainable, and what stock arrives
is <Ji8posed of without difficulty. Of
the other varieties of roses there is a
marked" scarcit^'of the better qualities,
most of the sto^ being of the shorter
grades. Eussell continues in popularity
and has a good sale. There is a scarcity
of White Killarney. A few low-grade

carnations still arrive, but on the whole
they are not suitable for shipping pur-
poses.

The most important of the summer
flowers are gladioli and asters. Of the
former some especially fine stock is
seen and large quantities are being
moved daily. Mrs. King is not arriving
in large quantities as yet, but sells well.
America, which arrives in more abun-
dant numbers, is also a favorite with the
trade. The novelties sell well. Al-
though it is claimed the recent heat
wave has somewhat impaired the quality
of the asters, some good stock is, never-
theless, arriving and finds a ready mar-
ket. In fact, there can be no real com-'
plaint on the quality of the asters of
the last week.

The heat also has made itself felt on
sweet peas, and what stock arrives is
mostly of inferior quality. Orchids and
valley both remain on the short side
of the market. Easter lilies are plenti-
ful, as are rubrums, but both act rather
lethargic. The first of the outdoor crop
of stocks is arriving. Shasta daisies
are plentiful, but more slowly. Gypso-
phila and feverfew are in good demand.
There is plenty of candytuft, but not
much call for it. Centaurea moves slowly.
Snapdragons are of poor quality and do
not sell well.

The Fuel Problem.

Growers are not finding it easier to
buy coal. The fuel is to be had, but the

burned 39,000 tons of coal in the last
year. He said that he believes he will
wait another month before beginning
to store coal for winter, unless prices
come down in the meantime. At the
Poehlmann establishment coal is han-
dled much cheaper than at most other
places, as it is dumped from an elevated
switch and travels by mechanical means
to and into the boilers, materially re-
ducing the labor required.

August 5, 1850, so he's 67.

G. Swenson, the Elmhurst grower, ob-
serves August 6. Having been born in
1844, he is 73. He is said to be looking
for a favorable opportunity to sell out
and retire.

PHILADELPHIA.

The Market.

The torrid wave has passed, leaving
its mark in business conditions. While
the extreme heat lasted business fell off,
almost ceased. "When the heat began
to abate business improved, as normal
conditions returned. The heavy mortal-
ity was a factor.

Good flowers, flowers that have been
faithfully cared for throughout all the
changes of weather, are none too plenti-
ful. The tendency is downward as the
crops pass and the heat stays. The
moderate number of really good flowers
are much sought, while the far larger
number of medium and poor-grade flow-'
ers are diflB.cult to sell. The early asters
are retrograding, with a few exceptions.
Gladioli have suffered from the heat.
The finer varieties, such as America,
Augusta, Panama and Mrs. Francis
King, are pretty fair and are in demand,
but the poorer mixed sorts are of no
account and prove only a waste of time
to grow.

The Easter lily market has under-
gone a complete change. Probably no
more complete change could occur in one
week. When the week opened they
were in heavy supply, with few buyers.
The price was $5 to $6 per hundred on
ordinary stock. Most of the sales were
in small lots and many flowers were left
unsold. There were a few large sales
at $45 per thousand. As the week
progressed the buying became more
active, largely influenced by funeral
orders. The surplus was consumed.
The lilies were bought as they reached
the city. The price advanced to $8 a
hundred, sometimes $70 per thousand.
This advance from $6 to $8 gives but a
faint idea of the real difference. There
were but few sold at $6, while there
were many sold at $8. When $6 was
top, the average price was somewhat
near $3.50; when $8 was top, the aver-
age price was near $7.25 to $7.50.

Roses suffered a good deal from the

heat, the old stock particularly. It was
also extremely difficult to get them to
the customers in the proper condition.
Much stock that was fairly good when
cut flew open. Still, the best summer
varieties of roses fared pretty well.

While there are other flowers to be
found on the price list for this city,
the few mentioned above cover the
greater part of the trading. With them
most of the orders are filled; the others
simply lend variety. They hardly de-
serve special mention beyond saying
that they can usually be obtained in
moderate numbers when ordered ahead
of time.

Now, this brings up the question:
What is the object of the club? When
the club first was organized its object
was to provide a place where the florists
could meet, and by discussion and inter-
change of experiences help each other
in conducting their businesses. This
object has been and still is carried out,
but the business has grown so, would
it not be well to introduce new methods
in the club, the same as we have in our
business? Perhaps the club has not
kept pace with the modern methods in-
troduced into the business, but it is well
to remember that the young fellows
know nothing else but these new meth-
ods, and expect the same thing at the
club meetings.

Never Too Old to Learn.

Last winter we had a course of lec-
tures by good men. I may speak par-
ticularly of one by Prof. Anspan, of
the Maryland State Agricultural Col-
lege. His subject was "Landscape
Gardening as Applied to the Home,"
illustrated with stereopticon views,
which made it practical, indeed. As I
listened to the lecture, looked at the
views and noted the rapt attention such
men as Isaac H. Moss were paying, T re-
called a favorite expression of William
D. Brackenbridge. When he was about
80 years of age he heard a young fellow
who was conveying the impression that
he knew it all". Then the veteran re-
marked: "Young man, I have worked
with flowers and trees all of my life,
and I am still only an apprentice."
When a man who was picked to go out
with the Wilkes expedition as botanist
for the Smithsonian Institution, and
was one of the men w^ho started the Bo-
tanical Gardens in Washington, has such
a humble o]Mnion of his abilities as a
florist, there is surely none of us too old
or too wise to learn.

How would it do this winter to elabo-
rate a little on this lecture feature;
have some good man for, say, about an

jihase of the florists' business in which
lie is known to have been commercially
successful? If it is possible, let these
talks be illustrated, for, in my opinion,
there is nothing that helps like a pic-

Think this over, and let us have some
talks this winter on, say, decorations,
funeral work and bridal bouquets as
well as growing.

proveineut on some other man 's work.
I liave often gone into some emjjty
church where I would have a job for a
wedding with an illustration gotten
from one of the trade journals in my
mind, and with it for a working basis,
studied the chaneel — this perliaps fi
week before the wedding. During that
week 1 would add to or take from the
original ])lan, always keeping in my
mind 's eye the finislied job. When the
day for the actual work came around I
had only to put the material in place.

It is often the work of the floral deco-

it is just as much his busiiiess tOjk»e on

tience of^Oa'. decorator. In one of the
lounging rooms there was a large Eng-
lish fireplace with a huge mantel above
it. Over the mantel there was as fine
a specimen of an elk's head as I had
ever seen mounted, the antlers being
especially good. With plants arranged
on this mantel, it gave the effect of an
elk peering through the foliage in a
forest. This bit of the decoration at-
tracted more attention than anything
else in the house that day, and it was
the elk's head that did it.

A short time ago Eobert Halliday
was showing me a number of photo-
graphs of decorations, funeral designs
and bridal bouquets, all work done by
him. As I looked them over, the
thought came to me what a lot of ideas
could be gleaned from these pictures.
Designs among them that had cost the
least were the most artistic. This re-
called to me a favorite expression of his
father: "Anyone can make a design
when he has plenty of stuff, and the
price will permit its use, but the true
artist is the one who can arrange a de-
sign that will please when stuff is

scarce.

Club Notes.

A letter was read at the last meet-
ing of the Florists' Club from N. F.
Flitten, the secretary, who has been
ill. Everyone was glad to hear he was
on the highroad to recovery. Harry
Ekas, of the Leo Niessen Co., is taking
care of the minutes during Mr. Flitten 's
absence.

Eichard Vincent, Jr., of White
Marsh, Md., was with us again, the
first time in a good while. "Uncle
Richard," as he is lovingly called by
the boys, was given jel warm reception.
He said that something had prevented
his coming to the last several meetings.
Anyone who knows ' ' Uncle Eichard ' '
knows that it must have been some-
thing important, for he is one of the
most faithful members.

F. C. Bauer, the president of the
club, is spending his week ends at liis
bungalow on the Patapsco. Tate.

Lackawanna, N. Y. — The Victory

The Market.

The terrific heat wave from, which
Boston, in common with other parts of
the country, suffered last week, put
almost a complete quietus on the cut
flower industry temporarily. With offi-
cial maximum readings of 98 degrees
on four successive days, growers, sales-
men, wholesalers and retailers had a
hard week of it. Arrivals at this season
fortunately are at their lowest ebb and
the heat further reduced supplies. Such
flowers as arrived in good condition sold
fairly well, and now that we can breathe
more comfortably conditions are not at
all bad. Eoses have been of poor qual-
ity, some with scorched foliage. Prices
on hybrid teas have ranged from $1 to
$8 per hundred. Beauties are plentiful
and of fair summer quality, but there
are no heavy calls for them. The few
carnations coming in are of little value.
Sweet peas were hard hit by the heat
wave and such as are seen have short
stems.

Asters are in much larger supply and
sales are at lower prices, with a consid-
erable surplus. Good local outdoor
gladioli are now arriving. Panama,
America, Chicago White and Lily Leh-
man are good sellers. Lilies are abun-
dant and quite a variety of annuals are
seen. The heat and drought have fin-
ished the perennial gypsophila. Little
bouvardia has appeared, mostly Hum-
boldtii. Cattleyas are now becoming
scarce.

Various Notes.

Mr. and Mrs. Henry Penn are enjoy-
ing a month's vacation at Belgrade
Lakes, !Me., where breezes are cool and
fishing is good. William Penn, just
back from his vacation, had excep-
tional success fishing, capturing seventy
pickerel one afternoon. He also se-
cured a good number of salmon. Ben-
jamin Freeman, of Penn's staff, was
presented with a wrist watch and a
generous supply of cigars, tobacco, etc.,
August 3, before he joined the colors.
Joseph F. White is enjoying his vaca-
tion at Ogunquit, Me. The duck farm
window remains a stellar attraction and
on the hottest days last week crowds
could be seen admiring it.

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

July business averaged a little better
than that of 1916. July was the driest
since 1909. The total rainfall was 1.1
inches, against a normal of 3.36 inches.
The mean temperature was 73 degrees,
against a normal of 71.3. There were
ten clear days, fifteen partly cloudy and
six cloudy. The maximum temperature
was 98 degrees and the minimum 53
degrees. Crops are suffering terribly
from the heat and drought.

Carbone 's are large importers from
Europe and have been singularly for-
tunate in not losing a single shipment
since the great war opened. They have
received some choice garden furniture
of late, which has sold well. They have
large wedding decorations at Magnolia,
Mass., and York Harbor, Me., August 18
and 23, respectively.

Andrew Christensen, of Stoneham, has
his carnations out and will start re-
planting during the present week. He
will plant a good many more Nancy
this season. This variety did well last
winter and spring. His other favorites
are Pink Delight, Alice, Matchless,
Benora, Beacon, Champion and Ward.
Some of the old Queen and the new Al-
bert Roper will also be planted. The
first named has always done particu-

The Budlong Eose Co. reports that the
foliage on quite a number of its roses
was scorched during the recent heat
wave, and that the quality declined.
This week the roses are arriving in bet-
ter shape and selling well.

M. Aronson is receiving good gladioli
from Woodward, of Saxonville, the
best varieties being Spring Song, Halley,
Lily Lehman, Emperor of India aiul
Chicago White.

Blue bachelor's buttons, which used
to be poj)ular market flowers, now are
in decided disfavor. The only way they
can be sold to advantage is for use in
tricolor boutonnieres. Too bad that
prejudice should spoil the sales of a
])retty, old-fashioned and innocent
flower.

Peter Fisher started housing his car-
nations August 6. Thanks to the aid
of the Skinner system of irrigation, his
l)lants are fine, much better than if they
had been housed before the late heat
wave. He is cutting good Ophelia roses.
This variety does specially well with
him. He has dropped Killarney and
White Killarney as unjjrofitable,^ these
lacking petalage.

The gar<len committee of the Massa-
chusetts Horticultural Society visited
the estate of Bristow Draper, Hopedale,
Mass., .July 30, where George Pidding-

lawns and shrubberies, displays of
rambler roses and a neat Italian garden,
were special features. In spite of this

committee spent a most enjoyable after-
noon, the journey by motor cars being
most interesting.

John Barr, of South Natick, one of
our champion carnationists, has faith
in the future of the divine flower, as
evidenced by the erection of a new
house 200 feet long, now ready for the
glaziers. Mr. Barr planted out nearly
100,000 carnations, and in spite of the
drought they look splendid.

William E. Nicholson, of Traming-
ham, has his mums planted and carna-
tions all pulled out. He will start re-
planting toward the end of this week.
He has a grand batch of the new rose-
pink Albert Eoper, on which he pins
great faith.

required, all side or lateral growths are
removed as soon as they are large enough
to be handled with the finger and
thumb,

I explained at the beginning of this
paper that Livingston's Globe was of
ideal growth, yet the shortening of the
foliage is necessary in order that suffi-
cient sunlight may penetrate to each
individual plant to produce sturdy
growth and fruitfulness. This consists
of removing part of the foliage from
each leaf stalk to accomplish the object
in view, but no more.

Pollination is a most important mat-
ter and must receive proper attention,
otherwise maximum results cannot be
obtained, especially in setting fruit in
October and February, or during other
dull or cold weather when airy condi-
tions cannot be given in the house. The
best means of distributing the pollen
grains is by using a rabbit's tail, or
other such fur, attached to a light
wooden stake. Go over the flowers with
this every bright or airy day before
noon, or directly after the noon hour.
In order that conditions may be as
favorable as possible for pollination,
the air in the house should be dry.
Therefore all watering should be done
early in the morning or any time after
pollination has been done. This should
receive special attention in the fall and
early spring.

Maintain a night temperature of 58
to 60 degrees during fine weather and
also during the period of pollination,
after which, while the same temperature
should be aimed at, it may be reduced 5
degrees when the weather is extremely
severe. It is wise to do this, for in
attempting to keep up the temperature
the plants will be weakened. The
maximum temperature by day by fire
heat during dull or extra cold weather
should not be much above 60, with an
increase of from 5 to 10 degrees accord-
ing to weather. By sun heat alone the
temperature may run up quite high,
providing an abundance of air is ad-
mitted.

Control of WMte Fly.

Never allow the soil to approach
dryness. This is especially important
during the period of pollination, as a
drying out of the soil at that time may
mean the loss of a truss of fruit here
and there by the flowers shriveling, and
it is just as important afterward in
swelling the fruit to a good size, thus
finishing the fruit in heavy, plump
condition.

The only insect which soems to care
for the tomato is white fly, which is
controlled by fumigating with potassium
cyanide, sulphuric acid and water, in the
following proportions per 1,000 cubic
feet:

_ . . . Ounce

rotassinm ryanido y^

Siilpliiirie acid l^

Water '.".".'.'."." 1

Eartlionware jars are required, or
fairly large bowls will suit. These
should be spaced at intervals of thirty
feet or thereabouts. Measure the cubic
space of the house, dividing this by the
number of jars required. In preparing
the jars, first of all put in the water,
then add the sulphuric acid quietly.
Now weigh -the cyanide required for
each jar and wrap it in a piece of tissue
paper, or, what is even handier, place
it in small flower pots. When every-
thing is ready, place the jars containing
the liquid in the house, return for the
cyanide, placing it alongside each jar.
Then commence at the farther end of
the house, dropping the cyanide in as
you are making for the exit. Leave the
house at once and do not enter again

for at least four hours; in fact, every-
thing should be arranged so that there
will be no necessity for entering until
morning.

Having explained how to go about the
actual fumigation, there remain a few
other points of equal importance that
have to be observed in this connection.
A still night with a clear atmosphere
should be chosen, the gas doing its work
and escaping quickly, which is desirable.
The night you intend fumigating avoid
watering the benches that day, in order
that the air in the house may be as dry
as possible, and in order to assist in
bringing about this condition run the
temperature high that night.

Picking and Packing.

For the local trade the fruits are
usually wanted fairly ripe. For ship-
ping, however, they should be picked
while they are still quite firm, in order
to reach the consumer in good condition.
Let it be understood, however, that the
consumer wants fruit that is ripe, pro-
viding there is no danger of waste.
Therefore it is to the grower's advan-
tage not to pick fruit that is too green,
as every day adds weight to them.

In packing for shipment we use a
crate the inside measurements of which
are: Length, twenty-one inches; width,
twelve and one-half inches; depth, five

no paper is used for lining the crate, but
in winter we do this and then wrap each
crate in heavy wrapping paper, using
plenty of newspapers as well. We have
been shipping in this manner for years
and have never had any complaint re-
garding injury from frost.

It is quite possible to increase the
earning capacity of the space devoted
to the late summer crop by planting let-
tuce between the plants. This was done
at the college this year with success,
well grown plants of good size being
used. As the tomato plants were eight-
eon inches apart, the lettuce had plenty
of room for develoi)ment under good
light conditions, and as lettuce grows
rapidly at that time of the year it was
lit to cut and to be sold before the to-
mato growth interfered to any extent.
This could not be done with either of
the other crops, as it is too early for
lettuce to intercrop the fall and early
winter crops, althougli the same favor-
able growing conditions would obtain
at that time; and it would be out of the
(luestion to attempt intercropping the
sj)ring and early summer croits, as tem-
j)erature and other conditions would be
most unfavorable.

The Market.

An exceptionally busy Saturday ended
an otherwise uneventful week. A wel-
come descent of the mercury helped
somewhat in restoring vitality to busi-

which practically every retailer seemed
to share. Stock is in moderate supply,

serious decline if the drought continues
long unbroken. Good gladioli are read-
ily absorbed; likewise roses, the quality
of which is seasonably off at present.
Easter lilies are in oversupply, miscel-
laneous garden stock is plentiful and
greens of all kinds are easily obtained.
Good valley is scarce, and so are orchids,
for which there are frequent calls.

Various Notes.

That the method employed by J. W.
Rodgers, of Dayton, O., as described in
last week's issue of The Review, of
going after business even in dull times,
is full of possibility, has been amply
proven at the Gasser Co. store. Last
fall Manager Brown adopted this unique
plan of approaching a selected list of
flower buyers, with such gratifying re-
sults that it is not only being continued
but its scope is also laeing enlarged as
the returns increase. This and many
similar ideas serve to point out what a
wonderfully fertile field is that of com-
mercial floriculture, only the surface of

which has as yet been scratched, with
the riches in store for them that delve
deeper.

That there will be no importations of
baskets and other supplies from Japan
this fall and early winter, is an assured
thing now. The transfer of the mer-
chant vessels in the Pacific to the war
service is the immediate cause of this
condition. This is bad news for Cleve-
land florists, as many orders were placed
by them with Japanese firms last spring.

F. C. Bartels, of the Gasser range, is
much worried by the delay in the arrival
of tile for the benches in the new green-
house, the completion of the work being
held up. His young rose stock has been
kept regularly shifted and is in excel-
lent condition.

F. E. Williams, of the Cleveland Cut
Flower Co., is off for a month's vacation,
touring through New York state and
parts of Canada.

J. Bletcher, of the Canton Flower
Shop, paid a visit to the wholesale
market last week, purchasing stock for
a large wedding order.

Aquatics, fountains, miniature lakes
and beachevS, etc., are figuring exten-
sively in the windows of the leading
retail stores at i)resent.

Among recent visitors were Mrs. V. L.
Schluraff, of the Schluraflf Floral Co.,
Erie, Pa., and K. E. Blackshaw, of the
A. L. Randall Co., Chicago.

While returning from the bank with
the pay roll to Rocky River last Satur-
day, F. C. Bartels had the misfortune
to collide with a Lake Shore electric
car. While not seriously hurt, Mr. Bar-
tels was pretty badly bruised and
shaken up, his new Dodge car being
completely wrecked.

H. P. Knoble and Frank Friedley and
families are off to Putin-Bay for a few
days' enjoyment of tlie cooling lake
breezes and fishing. Woe to members of
the finny tribe to whom tidings of the
coming of these miglity anglers have
not been passed !

The regular meeting of the Cleveland
Florists' Club was held in the rooms at
the Ilollenden hotel August 6. There
was a large attendance, due in part,
somebody said, to the fact that refresh-
ments were to 1)0 served, by courtesy
of the wliolesale tlorists. The commit-
tee on entertainment announced that
the annual ])icnic would be held at Wil-
lough beacli. A fine jirogram is in
course of preparation, a feature of
whicli is to lie a baseball game. After
the nominations of ollicers a social ses-
sion was held, with speeches, music and
a generally good time. J. McL.

Elmhurst, L. I. — Peter Beuerlein, who
for more than twenty-five years con-
ducted a flower store on Queens boule-
vard near Grand street, has moved his
stock to his farm near Westwood, N. J.
The removal was caused l)y tlie work of
widening Queens boulevard. j

President, F. W. Bolgiano, WashinKton, D. 0.;
Secretary-Treasurer, 0. B. Kendel. Cleveland, O.

"W. W. Barnard, Chicago, again is in
the hospital.

The Fangboner Seed Co., Bellevue,
Ohio, has been incorporated tor $50,000
and will deal exclusively in seed corn,
wheat and oats.

Not only has it been the biggest seed
selling season, but the seed houses that
handle plants over the counter have had
a tremendous business, especially in vege-
table plants.

.♦ The American Seedtape Co., with prin-

j cipal office at 365 Ogden street, Newark,

* has been incorporated under the laws of

Ne^.JeriBey with $1,000,000 capital, to

manufacture the seed container known as

seedtape.

As an indication of the thoroughness
with which certain of the Holland houses
now curry the American field, Westerbeek
& Klyn, in additioh to a permanent rep-
.; resentative in New IJprk, have' light trav-
elers on the road here.

The labor question is one of the worst
of the numerous problems confronting the
California seed growers. It is reported
by some of them that they are required
to pay $5 a day for Chinese labor, or see
it employed in other lines.

Frank Rudy, vice-president of the
Eudy-Patrick Seed Co., Kansas City, who
retired from active business about a year
ago on account of failing health, died
July 31, aged 59 years, and was buried
the afternoon of August 2. He is sur-
vived by a widow, one son and one
daughter.

Latest reports from the west are that
the pea yield will run from twenty-five to
fifty per cent of a crop. Many canners
and growers now feel that they would
have been better pleased if their con-
tracts had all been in Wisconsin and the
eastern section, instead of in the irri-
gated country.

The extreme heat and hot winds of
the last week in July have caused onion
sets at Chicago to go down rapidly and
they are ripening olf small and will not
bushel up and make so large a yield as
was expected teii days ago. Harvesting
is under way aga considerable difficulty
is found in getting sufficient help in the
field.

The Berry Seed Co., Clarinda, la., has
begun work on a 3-8tory brick addition to
its office building. The new structure will
be the same height and width as the
present building. When completed it will
be used to house the printing office and
garden seed mailing department. Last
season's business was the largest in the
history of the company, officials say.

Representatives of the Leonard Seed
Co., Chicago, J. Allen Bomm and W. A.
Gardiner, salesmen, and A. H. Smith,
treasurer, have returned from a trip to
Columbus, Wis., where they inspected the
company's trial grounds and looked
ovQr the pea crops the company has been
groiri^^.and harvestinig in that section.
After spending a few days in Chicago,
looking over the onibn set crops and the
company's warehouses,. -Mesiifs. (Jardiner
and Bomm returned to their eastern ter-
ritory.

(BiUb. 1883)

THEaiE probably never has been a year ,
when so many acres of seed crops were
pleated if or th« gwwers' own account,
f Seedsmen have increased their acreage as
( nwch as possible Ijecause of the difficulty
of getting 'faAnerjf to take feontracts and
more farmers than ever are growing for
their own account, believing the crop will
be worth at least as much when harvested
as it was before planting.

NOOBDAM HITS MINE.

A bit of disquieting news is contained
in the report that the Holland-Amer-
ica line steamer Noordam struck a mine
August 3 while bound for Holland, and
was badly damaged. The explosion
caused a dangerous list and the officials
of the line declared that the steamer
might have to be run aground, thereby
greatly prolonging the time required for
repairs.

In other seasons the Noordam has
been one of the principal carriers of
Dutch bulbs to this country, and it is
probable the boat was scheduled to
transport horticultural supplies this
season, these supplies, according to a
report, to come by three boats. In view
of the scarcity of bottoms, therefore, the
enforced idleness of the Noordam in
dry-dock may be felt by American im-
porters.

This is the second time the Noordam
has struck a mine. There were no
casualties among the 507 on board.

THE TAX ON PARCELS.

The Senate revision of the war rev-
<mue law contains a new paragraph
which will exempt light parcels from
the penny tax. As originally drawn, the
bill provided for a tax of 1 cent on each
parcel sent by mail where the postage
is less than 25 cents. The new provision,
if adopted, will exempt parcels of four
ounces or less. This will be of some
advantage to the seed trade, both in
the matter of mailing of light cata-
logues and small packets of seeds.

As yet one can only guess at the form
in which the tax law will come out. It
will be at least a month in getting
through the legislative mill and many
•changes seem imperative if confusion
is to be avoided.

ENFORCEMENT OF SEED LIENS.

In North Dakota and other states
which have laws giving seedsmen liens
against crops to secure payment for the
seed furnished therefor, it is important
that the requirements of such laws be
strictly followed, otherwise the lien is
apt to be lost. This warning is sug-
gested by the decision recently handed
down by the Supreme Court of North
Dakota, in a case where a lien was lost
because the lien statement filed of rec-
ord failed to contain a description of
the land. The lien law of that state
contains this section: "Any person en-
titled to a lien under this chapter shall
within thirty days after the seed is
furnished file in the office of the regis-
trar of deeds of the county in which the
seed is to be sown or planted a state-
ment in writing, verified by oath, show-
ing the kind and quantity ol seed, its
value, the name of the person to whom
furnished and a description of the land
upon which the same is to be or has
been planted or sown. Unless the per-
son "entitled to the lien shall file such
statement within the time aforesaid, he
shall be deemed to hare waived all
right thereto."

In this case the lien statement failed
to show any description of the land, and
was held by the court to be insufficient
to sustain a lien. On the back of the

statement tliere was a statement, signed
by the purchaser of the seed and recit-
ing that it would be sown on certain
land properly described, but the court
said: "This is a mere unsworn state-
ment by the purchaser of the seed grain,
and it is not contended that it is any
part of the lien statement on the front
portion of the sheet, and we are clear
that it cannot be resorted to for the pur-
pose of aiding such lien statement by
furnishing a description of the land.
* * * In construing the seed lien
statute, the fact must not be overlooked
that the lien given is wholly statutory
in its nature and origin. It was un-
known at common law, and hence can
neither be acquired nor enforced unless
there has been a substantial compliance
with the act of the legislature from
which the lien arises." S.

NEW EARLY OR WINTER-FLOWERING SPENCERS.

Here are varieties that offer you a big profit. Sowings under glass in August
flower ia time for your Thanksgiving trade. September sowings produce the finest
of flowers by Christmas. Grown in the open, they flower several weeks ahead of
the Standard or Summer-flowering Spencers; yet they bloom quite as long as the
Standard Spencers.

Having a survey over the whole trade, we foresaw the splendid future of
early winter-flowering varieties years back. Since 19C8 we have been crossing the
Spencer-flowering Sweet Peas with the Early or Winter-flowering Grandiflora.
The magnificent Australian variety, "Yarrawa," has also been used as a parent
flower in our recent crosses, with results truly unique.

The varieties below are all true, thoroughly fixed in type, and because of
their unusual development in color, both as to beauty and distinctiveness, they will
appeal strongly to your trade. « |t ,. ,,

THE DUTCH BULBS MAY COME.

The apparent general confidence that
the Dutch bulbs will be shipped may
prove misplaced, as the international
situation is changing almost every Mreek.
After months of negotiation, the Dutch
and British governments reached an ac-
commodation that resulted in the Hol-
land, boats coming over with general
merchandise, but it develops that few
of them have been able to secure return
cargoes, and that some sixty Dutch
steamers now lie idle in American har-
bors. In addition, the government of
the United States recently has placed
an embargo on the exportation to neu-
tral countries of commodities that may
in any way serve as an aid to Germany.
It is said that since this embargo went
into effect sailings to Holland practi-
cally have been suspended.

If the boats that bring the Holland
bulbs have little chance of securing re-
turn cargoes, the chances that the bulbs
will come are visibly reduced.

The Market.

Market conditions are the poorest they
have been this year. There is not nearly
enough stock to supply the demands.
Gladioli are the most plentiful flowers,
but even at that only in sufficient supply
for funeral demands. A few good as-
ters are in, but they, too, are short in
supply. Roses are too high in price for
the quality offered. Perennials are not
so plentiful as they were a week ago.
Magnolia and cycas leaves are being
used to help fill the deficiency in cut
flowers. Much of the stock received in
this market is from Colorado.

DETROIT.

There is little doing in the florists'
business. Most of the fraternity either
are going on their vacations, or have
returned with brown skins and tales of
how many fish they caught and of how
far they swam.

One of the best times the local florists
have had recently was at the Detroit
Florists' Club outing at Charles Plumb's
summer home, Pointe Tremble, July 31.
It was a day devoted to fishing and
swimming, which were followed by a
dinner at the hotel.

F. J. Knecht, of Fort Wayne, was a
visitor last week. He ships quantities
of stock to Michigan florists.

Mr. and Mrs. Philip Breitmeyer have
returned from Montana, where they
spent part of the summer with their
daughter, Mrs. Frank Wright.

The stock that reached the market last
week was of poor quality, with the ex-
ception of aslJers and gladioli. B.os&a
are extremely poor, whfle sweet peas
show the effects of the hot weather.

Mr. and Mrs. Harry Breitmeyer have
returned to their home at Pine Lake.

When sending a repeat order for snapdragon seed,
K. J. Snyder, North Germantown, N. Y., writes :

"During March and April alone, from 148 plants of
your Silver Pink Snapdragon, I cut $150.00 worth of
blooms. I think that great for the bench room they
occupied."

should be sown now for plants to follow mums. We have
seed as follows:

Seed of our famous Silver Pink, $1.00 per pkt.; 3 for $2.50; 7

MINNEAPOLIS.

The Market.

Desj)ite the hot weather and the ab-
sence of rain, the market was well sup-
plied with stock last week. Baby's
breath, sweet peas and jfladioli are
abundant, and last week saw the be-
ginning of the aster arrivals. The lat-
ter had good stems and the blooms
were of fair size. Easter lilies still are
in quantities. Fine American Beauties
are reaching the market and local grow-
ers are cutting some good short-stemmed
roses. There are excellent Boston ferns
to be had and there is a ready sale for
plants. Business has been quiet with
the retailers, funeral work creating
about all the demand.

Various Notes.

Swanson's had an attractive summer
window last week. Palms and ferns
surrounded a fountain, in the l)asin of
which were goldfish. Tlie whole was
illuminated by electricity.

The Franklin Nursery lias been cut-
ting some fine outdoor stock.

Ainiindson 's had a sni)])ly of good as-
ters and lilies last week. Tlie store pre-
sented an attractive a])pearance. Busi-
ness here lias been good, considering the
season.

While business has been (juiet at the
Whitted Floral Co. store, it has had
some good funeral orders latelv.

ing rubruni giganteuin and regale, but
the demand for them is light. Gladioli
are arriving in large numbers and they
are of extra fine quality. The ])riees
obtainjpi for these are good. Asters are
scarce, especially those of good quality,
many of them showing the effects of the
extremely warm weather. Summer
roses are fairly good, Russell, Ophelia,
Kaiserin, Sunburst and Shawyer show-
ing up best under the trying tempera-
tures.

Carnations are at the end of their sea-
son at last, few being seen on the mar-
ket. There are a few good dahlias, and
among the outdoor flowers are zinnias,
snapdragons, sweet peas, phloxes and
gaillardias. Feverfew, cornflowers and
gypsophilas are also seen in the stores.

Long Beach, Oal. — The Belmont Fern-

SAUMON AND THE SALMON.

"Salmon" is neither the first nor
middle name, but the last and most im-
portant in the three that identify H. C.
Salmon, of Eochester, N. Y., from the
rest of his fellows, but when it comes
to extracting salmon from the Pacific
ocean, Mr. Salmon lives up to his name.
While at Palo Alto, Cal., for the benefit
of his health recently, Mr. Salmon ac-
companied C. H. and A. F. Bearsby,
of the Frank R. Mills nursery, on a fish-
ing trip to Capitola. The trio made a
combined catch of nineteen fish, the
largest of whifth weighed twenty pounds.
For verification of this statement see
the accompanying illustration.

LOS ANGELES, CAL.

The Market.

The feature of the week's business
was the large quantity of funeral work
done. The death of the millionaire
owner of the principal newspaper re-
sulted in the expenditure of several
thousand dollars for funeral pieces, and
probably never in the history of the Los
Angeles flower business was there so
large a number of costly designs
and other work for an individual fu-
neral. This made quite a clean-up in
the wholesale houses and the work was
fairly well distributed among the re-
tailers. Dahlias are making a splendid
showing now and some of the Giant zin-
nias are a great attraction. Rubrum
and auratum lilies are arriving in fine
condition and there is still quite a good
sprinkling of gladioli.

The indoor roses are improving a lit-
tle, but the stock is far from first-class
even now. Carnations from indoors are
poor, but the field crop is improving
right along. Asters are at their best
and centaureas help out in funeral
designs. Sweet peas of the Spencer
types meet with a good demand when
the quality is right. Greens are plenti-
ful and of fairly good quality.

of real estate in this section should in-

of the stock that can be grown for the

The Roserie, 328 West Third street,
has been opened again by Flower Gar-
dens, Inc., with Mrs. Carter in charge
of the retail end, A choice decoration
of dahlias and other stock was shown on

E. D. Sturtevant was the lecturer be-
fore the Los Angeles County Horticul-
tural Society August 1. His subject
was water lilies, and during the day he
made an exhibit at the Chamber of
Commerce rooms. His lecture was lis-
tened to with great interest, especially
that part referring to the European nov-
elties and those from the Kew gardens
in England. H. R. Richards.

SAN FKANCISCO.

The Market.

July on the whole was a good month —
comparatively. Some say it was the
best midsummer month they ever had,
and others, while not quite so sweeping
in their remarks, agree that it was an
unusually good July. The large number
of weddings has helped out considera-
bly. Funeral business has been heavy.
The retailers have not been counting
on much extra business from army
sources, but it begins to look now as if
the concentration of troops in this vi-
cinity might help to stimulate business.

The stock situation remains about the
same, with the exception that asters
are more in evidence. They are coming
in nicely now and quantities of them
are being shipped to southern and mid-
dle western points. Shipments are being
made to the east also. The flowers show
good quality, the colors being bright
and clear and the stems long. All indi-
cations point to a splendid season.
Good carnations are hard to obtain and
the limited offerings of inferior stock
fail to get much attention. Fine assort-
ments of zinnias are arriving and clean
up without difficulty. Gladioli move
well. Striking displays of dahlias ap-
pear at nearly every downtown estab-
lishment, and hydrangeas also are to be
soen everywhere. The rose market
shows little change. Ophelia is a little
l»etter, but Russell and the other va-
lioties still show the effects of the hot
weather. Large orders for freesia bulbs
are now being shipped.

The only commercial colored Freesia in the world, not to be compared or
judged iu 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 Cer-

tiflcate of Merit at the Pasadena Flower Show.

Stock is limited; send in your orders as soon as possible. Is offered in two shades of

The Market.

Business, though not rushing, cannot
be called dull. There are quiet spells
between sales, but the sales are not half
bad, thanks to good funeral work and
some wedding orders.

The variety of the cut flowers offered
has been limited. Sweet peas, said to
lead the field, are of excellent quality
and the supply is adequate. Growers are
drying off the stock, so roses are off
crop for the present. In gypsophilas,
paniculata is taking the place of grandi-
flora. Carnations are poor and receive
little attention, but gladioli are good
property, making $1 per dozen at retail.

Various Notes.
A general street car tie-up last week
threatened traffic until the "jitney"
came to the rescue and made a joke of
the strike. Everything went off good-

Gardnerville. It proved to be an en-

and a large and jolly crowd of florists
turned out in their autos to celebrate
their annual feast. Dancing was in-
dulged in up to a late hour. A feature
of the luncheon was a large sack of
clams especially prepared by Mr, Ben-
thien for his guests. All voted that Mr.
Benthien is the man who put the "lam"
in clam. A 10-gallon can of ice cream
helped to cool off the crowd during the
frolic. John Holze, of the Queen City

The Market.

Funeral work and social events
caused a good demand for stock last
week. Asters and gladioli are more
plentiful. There were few roses. July
business was better than during the
same month last year, although there
was a lull in the middle of the month.

Various Notes.

A. J. Clarke and Mrs. Clarke are mak-
ing a three weeks' trip through Califor-
nia.

The Nippon Floral Co. is bringing in
some fine gladioli and lilies.

At the Tonseth Floral Co. range it
is announced that there will be yellow
chrysanthemums ready for the market
in a week. The range is planted mostly
to chrysanthemums and carnations.

Duke Eoutledge has a new Saxon
six automobile and is keeping it busy.

Julius Dossche's fertilizer factory is
working at capacity and it is reported
that he is shipping large quantities of
his product out of the state.

Clarke Bros, had an attractive win-
dow of gloxinias and gladioli, together
with a display of goldfish. H. J..Millatt,
of the store force, has returned io jFork.

Julius Dilloff, representing Schloss
Bros., New York city, was in town call-
ing on the trade last week.

Max Smith and Thomas Luke have
returned from a trip to Yellowstone
park in an automobile.

TUBEROSES FAIL TO BLOOM.

I have some tuberoses that do not
seem to bloom. Can you tell me what
is the matter with them? Do they
bloom the second year? A. D. — S. D.

Possibly the tuberoses will still throw
spikes. They are not of great value a
second season. Without knowing any-
thing of your culture, time planted, etc.,
it is impossible to say what is the
trouble. C. W.

PENNSYLVANIA LICENSES.

Pennsylvania now has a nursery in-
spection law, one of the provisions of
which is that all persons, including nurs-
ery stock dealers and agents, soliciting
for the sale of nursery stock in the
state, must secure and carry with them
a state license. Penalties for noncom-
pliance with the law are provided and
willful misrepresentation of stock of-
fered for sale is made a misdemeanor.

The law is aimed at irresponsij?Ie
nursery stock agents who have worked
in the state during the last several years.
They, it is declared, made many fraudu-
lent sales by various schemes.

There also has been passed in Penn-
sylvania a law providing standards of
purity for insecticides and fungicides.
Excessive or fraudulent claims as to the
value of these materials will be curbed,
and labels must bear a true statement
of what the package contains.

PROHIBITING IMPORTS.

The inconsistency of the demand by
certain entomologists for the complete
prohibition of plant imports is well il-
lustrated in the annual reports of F. L.
Washburn, in charge of nursery inspec-
tion in Minnesota. In his report for
1916 he says:

Importation of foreign stock la a menace to
our domestic plants and trees because of the dis-

highly advisable for the United States to discon-

pean stock has been found to be so
clean that his department inspects it
only perfunctorily. This is what he
then said:

We find that stock coming from Holland Is,
almost without exception, free from Insect pests
and beautifully packed. This Is also true of
azaleas shipped from Belgium. These latter
plants reach us in such fine shape and so free
from insect pests that we have adopted the plan
of allowing tlie importer to unpack shipments,
keeping them together, and preserving all tags,
records, and numbers on boxes (burning pack-
ing), pending the arrival of tlie inspector. This
saves us additional trips to a distant locality
to examine small consignments arriving later
than the main part of the shipment.

It is amazing that a man of standing,
after giving the Holland and Belgium
stock a clean bill of health, should with-
in a year recommend its exclusion from
the country.

LINCOLN, ILL.

The employees of the Gullett & Sons
wholesale cut flower department and
wholesale pot plant department enjoyed
their annual picnic Thursday, August 2.
The trip to the grounds on Salt creek,
near Baker's fish trap, was made in
hayracks, automobile trucks and other
conveyances. A fine time was had in
bathing, swimming, fishing and general
outdoor sports. Seventy-five employees
were in attendance. It was an all-day
affair, an all-around success.

The committee in general charge of
the arrangements consisted of three men
from the wholesale cut flower depart-
ment, Chris Lcithauser, Roy Conklin
and Walter Sieloff, and two men from
the wholesale plant department, Lons-
dale Copeland and Albert Sieloff. The
ample provisions and the program of
sports attested to the efficiency of the
committee.

Adiantum Farleyense Gloriosum
The Glory Fern

(Ruhm von Mordrecht)
This splendid Fern, which so closely resembles Adiantum Far-
leyense in appearance and which does not require the special skill
and care in growing that is necessary to produce good plants of A.
Farleyense, has quickly made a place for itself not only on account
of the fact that it can be produced for little over half that of grow-
ing Farleyense. but also because either in a cut state or as plants
used in decorative work, it will outlast the old variety ten to one,
making it an available subject where Farleyense cannot be used at
all. Since its introduction some five or six years ago there has
never been a supply large enough to meet the demand.
We have this season prepared an extra large stock and we offer

Pteris Rivertoniana

Awarded a Silver Medal at the National Flower Show,

Pteris Childsi

This beautiful variety is to Pteris what Farleyense is to Adian-
tums. and like that variety produces no spore, so that propagation
is by the rather slow method of division, which will keep it a rare
variety. The plant is of strong growth, attaining a height of about
20 inches; fronds large, pinnsr deeply dentated and undulated; tips
crested. Makes a beautiful specimen for exhibition

Fine plants, 5 inch pots, 76c each.

We extend a cordial invitation to all delegates of the S. A. F.

The Florists' Review

August 9, 1917.

MILWAUKEE.

The Market.

A spell of extremely hot weather has
left the trade in a rather wilted condi-
tion. What little stock there is in the
market is in about the same condition
and the business done is next to nothing.
The demand seems to be strong for this
time of year, but the supply is so limited
that there is nothing left to sell after
the standing orders have been taken
care of.

Carnations are scarce and only of
medium quality. The throwing out
process is nearing completion, but the
new plants are smaller than usual and
are not coming along so fast as hereto-
fore. Asters are not arriving in any
quantity as yet, so it is impossible to use
these as a substitute for carnations.

Roses are arriving in small quantities
and the quality is not so good as it
might be. This stock is moving with
no effort and a much larger quantity
could be handled to advantage were it
available. Lilies have shortened con-
siderably and the demand easily takes
care of the receipts each day. Valley
remains scarce and is cleaned up early
each day.

There is a fair quantity of gladioli
being handled each day, but this is . a
small item and does not help tifie short-
age, which is really acute ^usfr\n!B.\^ de-
spite the fact that business is^ light.

Various Notes.

John J. Stuppy, of the Stuppy Floral
Co., St. Joseph, Mo., was a visitor
July 31.

M. E. Horacek, with the Hiawatha
Gardens Co., Minneapolis, Minn., and
G. A. Lien, of Washburn, Wis., were
also visitors last week.

From present reports, it seems that
C. C. PoUworth is the only local man
who contemplates attending the con-
vention. H. J. S.

GreenhoBse Heating.

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

MAY CURB COAL PRICES.

Drastic action by the state to curb
high prices of coal was recommended to
the Illinois State Council of Defense by
the council committee which last week
met with representatives of the coal
mine operators of Illinois.

The report said: "There is no ex-
cuse for the present high prices of coal
in Illinois.^' Whether the action would
be a request for a special session of the
legislature to give greater powers to the
council or an order fixing a maximum
price was not announced. The report
called attention to the fact that coal
which was selling last year for $1.25 a
ton is now being quoted at $2.75 a ton.
Wages have gone up only 20 cents a ton.
"This increase," the report declares,
"cannot account for a jump of $1,50
a ton in the price of coal at the mines
between July, 1916, and July, 1917.
Federal action has been and may be so
long delayed as to be totally ineffective.
If no other way remains, the control of
prices in Illinois alone will be urged and
enforced if necessary."

WILL CHANGE THE BOILER.

I have a greenliouse 16x61, five and
one-half feet high to the eaves and
eleven feet high to the ridge. The house
runs north and south. The north end
is boarded up and lined with tarred
roofing; the space between the inner
and outer boarding is filled with saw-
dust. The west wall contains one foot
of glass; the east wall contains two
and one-half feet of glass. The south
end has a 2M>-foot sash across it. The
rest of the house is finished like the
north end.

Please tell me what size of Wilks
boiler will be needed to heat this house
to 60 degrees when the outside tempera-
ture is, say, 20 degrees below zero.
Will a boiler 34x48 be too large? I am
trying to get a used boiler and am
wondering whether a boiler larger than
is required would be unsatisfactory.
Will you tell me how to install it? I
have a quantity of IVt-inch pipe and

it is unsatisfactory; I cannot get it in-
stalled so it will keep the pipes hot
more than two or three hours at a time.
L. H. C— 111.

Not over 500 square feet of radiation
should be needed for heating a green-
house of the dimensions stated, to 60
/ degrees, and a boiler rated at a capacity
of 650 to 700 square feet should be
ample. We do not recall the capacity
of the different sizes of Wilks boilers,
but one with a grate 34x48 inches is
certainly three or four times as large
as is needed. In case additions of con-
siderable size are soon to be made, the
boiler described might be installed and
used with a fair degree of economy if
about one-half of the grate bars are
disconnected and the size of the grate
is reduced by means of fire brick.

We would locate the boiler so that it
will be below the level of the returns
and we would then run two 2% -inch
flow pipes either on the plates or just
under the purlins, preferably the lat-
ter. For returns we would use thirteen
1%-inch pipes, placing seven on the
south wall and six on the north wall.

The Florists^ Review

AOGOST 9, 1917.

In case there is a raised bench in the
center of the house, we would use three
2-inch flows, placing the third flow
under the ridge. With three flows, only
twelve returns will be needed, in three
coils of four pipes each, on the walls
and under the middle bench.

IS PEESENT PIPING ADEQUATE?

I have a range of greenhouses 100
feet in length, with a total width of
seventy feet. There are two main feed
pipes, each 5-inch, from an SO-horse-
power boiler, and there are also two
5-inch returns to the boiler. Connected
to the main header pipe are ten 2% -inch
flows, feeding about forty 2-inch returns.
Are there enough feed pipes from the
boiler and enough main returns? Would
it save much fuel to have more openings
made in the boiler for flows and returns!
The gralje of the boiler is 3x4 feet. The
boiler tubes are 3-inch and are ten feet
long, A. R. S. — Mont.

The data furnished do not cover the
temperature desired in the houses, the
amount of glass in the roofs and sides,
or the number of tubes in the boiler, but
a 25-horsepower boiler would undoubt-
edly heat the houses.

If a temperature of 60 degrees will
answer, we would consider that the
forty 2-inch returns, in addition to the
main flow pipes, would suffice. With
houses about fifteen feet in width and
100 feet in length, we would prefer to
run a 2^ -inch flow on each plate, but
good results should be secured with the
arrangement described, provided the
return pipes are well above the top of
the boiler.

North Warren, Pa. — Victor Offerlee is
erecting a greenhouse establishment
next to Hygia Hall. The location is
excellent and as Mr. Oflferlee will have a
modern place, its success is assured.

The Florists' Review

August 9 1917.

ROCHESTER, N. Y.

The Market.

There was more activity in the market
last week, despite the weather, which
has been intensely hot. Sweet peas
were burned considerably, but some
growers have been cutting good quality
stock, which sells fairly well. The
gladiolus season is opening. Splendid
quality America and Mrs. Francis King
have reached tlie market and clear at
$3 per liundred. Marty other smaller
varieties also are seen.

Double gypsophilas are favorites with
buyers and are being grown more ex-
tensively this season. White asters of
good quality have arrived and sell for
$2 per hundred. There is little demand
for the poorer grades. A few dahlias
have arrived. Candytuft and achillea
are abundant. Quantities of coreopsis,
zinnias, lupines, bachelor's buttons,
gaillardias and sweet alyssums are in
the market, but meet little demand.
Eoses are plentiful. Eussell is the best,
but is showing the effects of the heat.
Carnations are of poor quality. Easter
lilies are plentiful. Ferns are coming
in good supply from local sources. Spe-
ciosum lilies sell slowly. All kinds of
greens are in the market in a supply
greater than the demand.

Various Notes.

Charles E. Sharp was in Dansville
August 1 attending the annual outing
of the Sea Breeze fire department, of
which he is a member.

Felix Alberts, of Buffalo, was in the
city August 2,

Edwin C. Armbrust was in Buffalo
August ]. He has since left for New
Britain, Conn., for a ten days' vacation
with relatives.

George B. Hart and family are spend-
ing the summer at Lakeside. Mr. Hart
makes daily trips to the city by auto-
mobile.

George Case, of James Vick's Sons,
is away on a two weeks' vacation.

Horace J. Head was one of the par-
ticipants in a Red Cross benefit concert
at Hilton, X. Y., July 29.

George T. Boucher returned August 2
from an automobile trip to Chicago, HI.
He was gone three weeks. Aside from
being arrested in Benton Harbor, Mich.,
for speeding, the trip was most enjoy-
able, Mr. Boucher savs.

Mary Smith, of George T. Hart's
force, is away on a vacation.

Florists were busy August 3 with
orders for the funeral of a prominent
business man who was killed in an auto-
mobile accident. August 4 also was a
busy day, the demand for flowers being
larger tlian the supply.

The James Tick's Sons force is busy
on the seed farm now. The clear
weather of the last two weeks has en-
abled the men to plant the asters, of
which there are 13.j acres. It is not ex-
pected that asters and hardy stock will
give a full crop because of the wet
weather earlier in the season.

The Eoohester Exposition and Flower
Show will ])e held at Exposition park
beginning Labor day, September 3, and
will continue tlirough the week. Be-
sides premiums offered by the exposi-
tion, numerous prizes and silver cups
have been donated by local florists.

The Market.

The demand continues active for this
time of the year. The market is well
supplied with stock, but the flowers
clear well. Funeral work has been ex-
tensive this week and has been the most
important factor in utilizing the large
supply of lilies. The old crop of carna-
tions "is completely gone. Summer roses
are becoming poorer and receive but
little attention. They sell at from $1.50
to $5 per hundred.

Gladioli continue plentiful, but the
supply is consumed daily. They are of
good quality and move at $3 and $4 per
hundred. Asters are fairly plentiful
but still of poor quality, the price rang-
ing from $1.50 to $3.

Various Notes.

KNOXVILLIANS TAKE DAY OFF.

The Knoxville, Tenn., Florists' So-
ciety held its fourth' annual picnic
August 3, at a fish trap on the llolston
river, near Mascot, Tenn. Heretofore
the picnics have been held at quite a
distance from Knoxville and consider-
able time has been taken up in going
to and from the place. This time it was
decided to have it as near as possible, so
Mascot island, a distance of about fif-
teen miles from Knoxville, was selected
as the place. The trip was made in
automobiles to the river, where row-
boats were used to cross to the island.

The forenoon was spent in rambling
about the grounds and exchanging notes
in the shade of the beautiful trees. At
noon a bountiful dinner was served, and
it seemed that everyone had a good ap-
petite. Dinner over, many made for the
river; some fished, some took target
practice, while others just sat around in
the shade and watched the various
amusements. Late in the afternoon the
entire crowd enjoyed a watermelon feast
and soon after departed for home. The
day was ideal for a picnic and the place
was one of the most appropriate for the
occasion in eastern Tennessee.

NEWARK, N. J.

Business was quiet with the retailers
last week, but the growers were busy.
Most of them have their chrysan-
themums benched. Carnations iii the
field are doing well.

The annual outing of the Essex
County Florists' Club was held August
1, at Gillette, N. J. There were about
125 persons present, among them being
several from New York city. There
was a program of athletic events and a
picnic supper. The crowd was taken
from Lincoln park, Newark, to the
grounds by automobiles.

McLaughlin & Murphy were unusual-
ly busy with funeral work during the
last ten days.

Charles Luthy has been doing a good
business at his new branch store on
West Elizabeth street.

J. E. & A. G. Hutchinson, 227 Broad
street, Elizabeth, have closed their store
during the month of August. This is
the firm's annual custom. E. B. M.

Ashtabula, O. — Silvieus & Silvieus,
Eoy L. and Virginia C, are planning to
open a retail store this autumn in a
town of 20,000 inhabitants which al-
ready has two flower stores.

liefore the advance, we contracted for a big

Great Saving in Preparing ^
Land for Carnation Stock ^

FollowiinJT Is wh.it KrctSfhmar Bros.,
of West Myack, New York, say of tlio
System :

" It has always been a great exiwnse
to prepare our land for tlic carna-
tion stock before planting, as each
(lay we would only plough enouKrh
for the day's planllner so that we
could work In moist soil. Tills also
would be all hand raked to sret It In

plough the whole stiip and harrow
with a spiked tooth harrow and use
the Skinner Systt-ni after each day's
planting to water them down."

BgWWIEO PLANTS.

NEW SOLANUM BURBKA.

The greatest novelty in berried plants for
Christmas. This solanum, unlike the old variety,
bears its berries on the top of the plant, which
gives it the appearance of a solid mass of larxe
red cherries.

The habit of the plant is dwarf and bnstay;
the fruit is perfectly round, the color a brilliant
red and larger than an ordinary cherry.

A 4-lnch plant will carry from 150 to 200 ber-
ries.

Don't stop for anything.
Keep pushing everyday.

Make today bigger than yester-
day and tomorrow bigger than
today.

And don't depend en-
tirely on YOURSELF.

If your work is on the eighteenth
floor of an office building, DONT
WALK UP THE STAIRS-
USE THE ELEVATOR. If you
want to ask a question of someone
on the other side of the city, DON'T
SPEND HALF A DAY GOING TO
SEE HIM— USE THE TELEPHONE.
Take advantage of the modern forces ALL
AROUND YOU. Take advantage of the
wonderful opportunities that other brains
and organizations have provided to SAVE
YOUR TIME AND SAVE LABOR AND
HELP YOU MAKE MONEY.

Take advantage of the

power of "Review" Classified
Ads. They have built large and
permanent business for many —
for thousands of florists they have
saved dumping a surplus; turned a
loss into a quick profit.

They will do as much

for you — but it is up to you to
act. It is up to you to offer
nothing but good stock, worth
the money, and to get your ad to
the office of "The Review" by

Six Splendid Australian Varieties

CONCORD Spencer types

The Concord Varieties of Winter-flowering
Spencer Sweet Peas are perhaps the most
advanced and finest of all. The colors are
distinct, clear and true. They flower earlier
than any other type, and the blossoms are
of large Spencer form, with long stems.
Unfortunately they are shy seeders and,
therefore, the seed is scarce and expensive
We are obliged to offer in packets only
this year.

Prices, any of the following:

Pkt. (50 seeds), 40c; 5 pkts., $1.75.
Concord Pink, beautiful delicate pink.
Concord Crimson, fine ruby red.
Concord Lavender, light lavender blue.
Concord White, large, pure white.
Concord Salmon, soft salmon pink.
Concord Blue, dark purple blue.

We have on hand fresh seed off Giant Flowered Cyclamen in all popular colors,
also Primula, Cineraria, Calceolaria; Perennial Flower Seeds for summer sow-
ing and Annuals for winter flowering under glass.

The quality is exceptionally good this season and the ad-
vantages of buying direct from a large grower where the !
flowers are cut, graded and kept chilled until the customer
receives them, together with prices no higher than others
charge, make our stock a very attractive proposition for
the summer demand. Ferns, fresh picked, received daily,
$1.50 per 1000. All seasonable flowers not grown by us
will be procured for our customers. A trial order solicited.

flowers are cut, graded and kept chilled until the customer
receives them, together with prices no higher than others
charge, make our stock a very attractive proposition for
the summer demand. Ferns, fresh picked, received daily,
$1.50 per 1000. All seasonable flowers not grown by us
will be procured for our customers. A trial order solicited.

HERB beginneth the thirtieth chapter of the Book of Allen,
not quite as old a volume as the Psalms of David or the
Proverbs of Solomon or the Book of Job, but far more prac-
tical and interesting to the retail florists and the growers of cut
flowers in and around this wonderful city.

We are on the outskirts of a great revival. Never was there
so bountiful a harvest. There will be food for man and beast.
We hail our splendid staff of growers with high hopes, and we have
room for more of them. There is no variety of flowers we do not
handle. We ship to the leading out-of-town florists, and we sell to
the cream of the local trade. If you are not yet on our books, it is
your misfortune. "Every morning at 6" is our watchword. It
has worn well. Don't visit the Convention without making a call
on "the old reliable."

"TAKE THE ELEVATOR

AND SAVE ONE-HALF"

The application of a general merchandising idea to the management of a
flower store conducted with unusually low overhead expense. How a Chicago
retail florist, operating one store in which the service is of the most costly char-
acter also has built up a successful separate business on the low prices basis.

PSTAIES store methods as
the means of selling flow-
ers have been adopted by
a Chicago florist and, at
the close of a year's busi-
ness, the innovation is a
success, declare the men
back of the enterprise.
Under the name of the
Ohio Floral Co., a store
was opened on the second floor of the
Ohio building, at the corner of Wabash
avenue and Congress street, ii> Jtfay,
1916, an advertising campaign was
launched and preparations were made
to expend considerable money, if neces-
sary, to discover whether or not a
second-floor store in the business sec-
tion, selling designs, cut flowers and
plants at low prices, would be a money-
maker.

"Take the elevator and save one-
half" has been the slogan of the com-
pany's advertising, both in daily news-
papers and on the windows of the store.
While this was not original — many
clothing and other classes of merchan-
dising concerns have made the phrase
familiar — it was unique in the retail
branch of the florists' trade. Wreaths
at $2 and sprays at
$1.50 were the leaders
announced in practi-
cally all of the adver-
tising. Aside from a
small card on the glass
door at the entrance to
the building, there was
no opportunity for the
pedestrian to know
that there was a flower
store in the building.

A. Good Location.

The location has an
unusual advantage,
however, in that its
windows, of which
there are many, are but
a few feet away from
the elevated platform,
from which thousands
of persons daily take
and leave trains to
and from their homes.
The proximity of the
elevated structure also
creates a disadvantage,
as it partially shuts off
the pedestrians' view
of the windows from
the streets.

Upon the windows
are painted in large,
bright red and white
letters the name of the

company, its business slogan, "Take
the elevator and save one-half,"
"Wreaths $2, sprays $1.50," "Your
money's worth or your money back,"
all of which savor of the department
store. The large expanse of window
space on both Wabash avenue and Con-
gress street permits a striking display.

To attract business to a store so situ-
ated persistent advertising was neces-
sary. The first announcements of the
opening of the store brought business in
such meager volume that the first
week's receipts did not come near pay-
ing clerk hire. The second week was
better; at the end of the year the store
is paying expenses.

Appeals to the Thrifty.

This store and its method of attract-
ing customers have demonstrated that
flowers are, in truth, a necessity at one
time or another to all the people. Its
sales are made almost exclusively to
persons who, by reading the advertis-
ing time and again, have the store name
and location impressed upon their minds
and who remember, when flowers are
needed, that it is the best place to

Applyiog the Upstairs Store Idea to the Retailing of Flowers.

supply their needs for less money.

Consequently, weddings, funerals,
celebrations of any kind that usually
call for flowers or designs in the homes
of those who wish to buy as cheaply as
possible mean business for the Ohio
Floral Co. The purchases are made
when flowers are considered a necessity,
and not usually for the gratification of
a love of flowers.

Cut flowers and designs are the prin-
cipal stock sold at this store. Elaborate
bouquets and baskets make no appeal
to the thrifty persons who trade there.
Potted plants also sell well and there
have been several calls for bedding
plants and in one or two instances home
owners have sought shrubs and trees.

Low prices for stock are made pos-
sible by the smaller rent a second floor
location commands in comparison with
the street level store in the same neigh-
borhood; less expert help is needed, as
there is little out-of-the-ordinary work
to be made up; buyers are less exacting
as to the attention they receive and
sales are made rapidly; supplies cost
less, as in most cases the purchases
merely are wrapped in paper and taken
away by the buyers, thus eliminating
delivery cost, and there
is no loss from bad ac-
counts, all sales being
for cash.

Sells Good Stock.

It might bo supposed
that a store doing such
a business would be an
outlet for poor stock
only. Such is not the
case, it is declared.
The best stock that
can be sold at the
jirices asked and leave
ii small margin over
the wholesale cost is
the policy of the store.
I'atrons of the estab-
lishment are given the
advantage of the de-
creased cost of doing
business, which is fig-
ured to be only two-
thirds what it is in a
street level store of the
same general charac-
ter.

Making a success of
this venture required
patience, that quality
which is best described
as gameness in the face
of continued money
loss, and, last, but most
important, a consider-

able capital of either cash or credit.
Such an undertaking means only failure
for the man who has insufficient capital
and who has not the ability to stick
when his weekly reports show that his
bank account is growing smaller, even
though his sales are growing larger.

The Ohio Floral Co. is owned princi-
pally by Oscar J. Friedman, who for
many years has had a high-class store
near-by in the Congress hotel. The
direction of the upstairs store is in the
hands of Victor Bergman, ' who also is
in charge of the Friedman quality store.
Consequently the same brains decide the
policies and do the buying for two ex-
tremely dissimilar retail flower stores.
In the one only the highest class trade
is handled, in the other the opposite
class.

Future for This Class of Store.

Mr. Bergman believes that there is a
great future for the retail florists' busi-
ness in stores that will cater to such
a trade as does the Ohio Floral Co.
Constant increases in the business done
at the second floor store give him con-
fidence in his belief that there are many
persons who buy flowers occasionally
and who will travel to a certain place
when there is a chance to save money.
And it does not particularly matter
where that place is, be it upstairs or
down.

But, he warns florists, such a store
requires what has already been detailed,
money and courage. The man who has
a few hundreds or a few thousands of
dollars will fail, because he will be
unable to continue the sales-creating
stimulant without which such a store
would do almost no business — advertis-
ing, consistent and persistent.

Advertising. That is the keynote of
such success as the Ohio Floral Co.
store has attained. Advertising has
made possible an innovation in the re-
tail end of the florists ' trade. No elabo-
rate fixtures are needed. There is no
considerable investment in stock and
the many accessories to be found in the
average modern retail store. There is
no highly paid help. Business is cre-
ated by advertising, but newspaper
space in a large city is expensive and
success lies only in the ability to "keep
everlastingly at it."

The trade in Philadelphia is understood
to be principally interested.

BUSINESS EMBABBASSMENTS.

Charleston, S. C. — Paul M. MacMil-
lan, attorney for the Eodgers Floral
Co., which was thrown into bankruptcy
by its creditors recently, has sent a let-
ter to those having claims against the
company offering settlement on the ba-
sis of 50 cents on the dollar. The letter
states that if the company's affairs are
liquidated by the court the creditors
will receive practically nothing, but
that Francis S. Eodgers, Jr., has made
arrangements to pay the amount stated.
The company is a copartnership be-
tween Francis S. Eodgers, Jr., and Har-
old E. Eodgers, the latter a minor. An
inventory of the company's property
placed the assets at $13,500, while the
liabilities are $17,000. The assets, how-
ever, consist of stock in trade, boxes,
open accounts and $2,300 due from the
minor partner. It is claimed that Har-
old E. Eodgers, being a minor, can re-
pudiate his obligation to the company
and that a forced sale will cut the value
of the other assets materially. The let-
ter asserts that all creditors must ac-
cept the offer, or the court will be^ al-
lowed to go on with the liquidation.

An Appeal to Thrift.

Association, at Montreal, August 9, the
following officers were elected:

President — E. J. Hayward, of Mon-
treal, Quebec.

First vice-president — George Douglas,
of Toronto, Ont.

Second vice-president — E. B. Hamil-
ton, of London, Ont.

Secretary-treasurer — H. J. Eddy, of
Montreal, Quebec.

New members of the executive com-
mittee, to serve for three years — Luke
Williams, Ottawa, Ont.; C. M. Baldwin,

Toronto, Ont.; William Cotter, Mon-
treal, Quebec.

This represents a complete change in
the management of the society, none
being a reelection except that of Mr.
Williams, who was returned to his place
on the executive committee. Mr. Hay-
ward was first vice-president last year
and chairman of the local entertainment
committee, of which Mr. Eddy was sec-
retary; Mr. Eddy succeeds Julius Luck,
who has been secretary-treasurer for
many years.

It was voted to hold the next meeting
August, 1918, at Ottawa, Ont.

Will Make War Becord.

In view of the fact that many mem-
bers of the association are or have been
serving overseas, it was suggested by 0.
M. Baldwin, of Toronto, that some means
be taken to record and honor the names
of these men. This has not been done
up to the present. The suggestion re-
ceived the hearty approval of the asso-
ciation.

President James Eraser, of Prescott,
who drove to Montreal for the meeting,
has attended eighteen of the twenty
.conventions the association has held.

Bad Weather for Excursions.

The convention was conceded to be
perhaps the best the association ever
has held, in spite of the many reasons
to expect the contrary. The weather
was delightful on the opening day, but
the two trips of inspection were marred
by inclement weather the second and
third days. The first trip was, as the
guests of the city, for a drive through
the parks and a visit to the greenhouses
of McKenna, Ltd., Frank McKenna
later reading a paper on the problems
he has encountered in running the re-
tailing end of the place. After the
convention adjourned the visitors were
the guests of the Montreal Gardeners'
and Florists* Club on a trip to St. Anne
de Bellevue, to visit Macdonald College
and to view several of the private gar-
dens at Senneville.

A SEJiF-WATEBTNTO BENCH.

Eoy White, of the Lamar Greenhouse
Co., Lamar, Colo., has received a patent
on a self -watering greenhouse bench. It
embodies the same principle as the Lit-
tle Wonder plant irrigator. The bench,
is made of galvanized iron in any size
and is about three inches deep. There
is a perforated top which allows tubes
with sponges to be placed at any dis-
tance apart.

Mr. White says the bench is only for
potted plants. He has one of the benches
in use at the Lamar range and says that
it is a great labor saver. The bench is
connected to the water supply and auto-
matically fills itself, thereby eliminating
the labor of watering. Mr. White says
the plants do fifty per cent better in
the bench, as there is always the right
amount of water. Several of the
benches will be installed in the Lamar
greenhouses this fall.

Tama, la. — The Sheldon Gardens Co.
has let a contract to the Foley Green-
house Mfg. Co., of Chicago, for a green-
house, 33x250 feet, to cost about $8,-
500. The Sheldon Gardens Co. was re-
cently incorporated with a capital stock
of $15,000, most of which was pur-
chased by Tama business men. George
Sheldon is the moving spirit in the en-
terprise.

THE TRADE'S PART.

Purely Personal.

Flowers are not classed among mu-
nitions, but florists make good soldiers
and the trade will be represented in
almost every department in the field,
judging by the items of personal news
that have come to hand this week. No
doubt there are a great many more mem-
bers of the trade who already have
taken up arms and The Eeview will be
pleased to hear of them.

Correspondent Called to Colors.

Called into the service of the United
States with the national guard, Adolph
Ehmann, correspondent for The Eeview
at Buffalo, is quartered at the Sixty-
fifth Eegiment armory awaiting orders.
Mr. Ehmann, who is well known to the
trade in western New York, is a mem-
ber of Battery D, Third New York Field
Artillery.

Building Wooden SUps.

Sherman W. Walker, president of the
Portland Florists' dub and correspond-
ent for The Eeview at Portland, Ore.,
has entered the service of the United
States as inspector of hulls for the Ship-
ping Board. The florists' trade has
been recruited from practically all de-
partments of human activity and be-
fore engaging in the greenhouse busi-
ness, in which he was thoroughly suc-
cessful, Mr. Walker was engaged in
shipbuilding, so he has returned to a
field in which he has special knowledge.
It will be his duty to watch the work
of building on the Pacific coast a part
of the government 's new fleet of a thou-
sand wooden ships to break the U-boat
blockade. Mr. Walker's greenhouse
business is being continued in his ab-
sence and he intends to return to it
when his task is finished.

Becomes Ambulance Driver.

The call of France, his native land,
has been answered by Edward Dupuy,
son of Louis Dupuy, nurseryman at
Whitestone, L. I. Young Dupuy has
joined the American Ambulance corps
as a motor car driver and now is in
France. His father is one of the several
French nurserymen who have come to
this country and established themselves.

Quits Flowers for War.

Harold William Crockford, florist, of
Winthrop, Mass., had not been estab-
lished in business many years when the
United States entered the war. Never-
theless, Mr. Crockford had built up a
good business and was making money.
But recently he decided that he is
needed to help fight the battles of his
country, so he closed his store and en-
listed in the Eighth Massachusetts regi-
ment.

Chief Nurseryman in Reserve.

Lloyd C. Stark, president of the
American Association of Nurserymen,
who last week was reported as having
resigned his office in the Stark Bros.
Nurseries & Orchards Co., of Louisiana,

O. W. Efclond.

Mo., to tender his services to the gov-
ernment, is in Washington, making his
lieadquarters at the Army and Navy
Club. He has joined the officers' reserve
and is expecting to be commissioned in
the new army. At Louisiana it is said
he is to be placed as a captain of artil-
lery. Mr. Stark was educated at An-
napolis, for the navy.

To Fight for Adopted Land.

O. W. Eklund, foreman at the green-
house range of the Sterling Floral Co.,
Sterling, 111., was among those drafted
June 5, has passed the physical exam-
ination and been enrolled in the United
States army. He did not claim exemp-
tion.

Mr. Eklund was born in Kristianstad,
Sweden, twenty-nine years ago. Before
going to Sterling he was gardener at
Minneapolis for Thomas Shevlin, the
famous athlete and millionaire lumber-
man, who died two years ago. Of Mr.
Eklund the Sterling Floral Co. says:
"He has left ample testimony of his
energy and skill, and it is with regret
that this company cedes this valuable
employee to Uncle Sam."

Haeger a Lieutenant.

In the great officers' training camp at
Fort Sheridan, 111., these last three
months the trade has been represented
by Frederick W. Haeger, of the A. L.
Eandall Co., Chicago. When the train-
ing camp closed August 13 it was an-
nounced that Mr. Haeger had been com-
missioned a second lieutenant of in-
fantry in the officers' reserve corps. It
is supposed that his first duty will be to
assist in the training of the new army
at one of the cantonments now in course
of construction.

Will Join Officers' Camp.

Frank L. Sanders and Eoland E.
Hammer, both well known among St.
Louis florists, will join the second offi-
cers ' training camp to be held at Fort
Sheridan, 111. Mr. Sanders is manager
of the flower department of the Grand
Leader, a St. Louis department store.

Mr. Hammer is a son-in-law of Fred C.
Weber. Both are ambitious to becqme
officers in Uncle Sam's army to be sent
to Europe, and will work hard for com-
missions during the three months of in-
tensive training.

Florist Gets Commission.

Maurice Bebb, the elder son of Eob-
ert Bebb and his chief assistant in the
management of the affairs of the Mus-
kogee Carnation Co., Muskogee, Ala.,
has just received his commission in the
new army, after having spent three
months in the officers' training camp at
Little Eock, Ark.

Killed in France.

Howard Ford and William Hudson,
employees at the GuUett & Sons estab-
lishment, Lincoln, 111., could not wait
until the United States got into the
war to go to Europe and join in the
fighting. So they enlisted with the al-
lied forces. Word has been received
that Mr. Ford was among those killed
at Vimy Eidge, in France. Mr. Hudson
was wounded four times, but has recov-
ered and returned to the trenches.

Joins Aviation Corps.

Edwin Bebb, a graduate of Professor
Dorner 's department at the University
of Illinois, and subsequently an em-
ployee of Mount Greenwood cemetery,
Morgan Park, HI., has been at the of-
ficers' training camp at Fort Sheridan
since May, but recently has joined the
Aviation corps and will fly an aeroplane
in France.

CYCLAMENS LOSING FOLIAGE.

What is the cause of cyclamen plants
losing their leaves? Some of the plants
die. Others eventually have a new
growth of foliage, but even these are
not so well leaved as they ought to be.
Any information you can give us will
be appreciated. E. F. C. — Ore.

Possibly the soil is not altogether suit-
able or the drainage is defective. An-
other possible cause of loss of foliage is
too deep potting. The corms should not
be covered. For a compost, cyclamens
like a loam containing a good proportion
of leaf -mold, not too much rotted; also
some sand and some old cow manure,
well dried and broken up. I find it more
necessary to use an abundance of leaf-
mold and sand if the loam is naturally
heavy. Keep your plants in a house or
frames where thoy can be protoctod from
the sun with lath shades. This manner
of shading keeps tliom cooler than shad-
ing on the glass and allows them to get
all available light in dark, cloudy
weather. q y^

West Haven, Conn.— Thomas Patti-
son says that unless something unfore-
seen happens to change his plans, he
has decided to close down for the win-
ter, as soon as the late chrysanthemums
are gone. This can be done without
much inconvenience bv those who de-
pend upon plants for the bulk of their
business.

nate fellows to dwell amid flow-
ers, and to enjoy their beauty, color-
ing and fragrance while at the same
time making a living. While we do love
all these, we think sometimes that the
customer does not begin to appreciate
the problems and difliculties which pre-
vent our living the "lives of flowery
ease ' ' many of them evidently think we
lead. They do not think of the wide
areas from which these flowers must be
gathered; the changing seasons with
their different requirements; the exact-
ing public which wants the flowers it
wants when it wants them; the diffi-
culty of inculcating some conception of
finance as well as of the rules of art
into one's employees; the fragility and
delicacy of our wares, which increase all
the difficulties of purchase, transport
and delivery; the losses from careless
packing and handling; the excessive cus-
toms duties on flowers from the United
States; the inadequate supply obtain-
able at the Christmas season; the eternal
vigilance required to avoid monotony
or sameness in the store arrangements;
the kickers who demand immediate serv-
ice and special attention; the efforts
to get competent help; the enormous
expenses, with the constant fear that
these might eat up the profits; the sad
experience^ with giving credit which all
retailers have.

Naturally, the ambition of every re-
tail florist is that his business shall in-
crease from year to year, and his prob-
lems must be related to the securing of
that end. In the short time allotted to
me it is impossible that I should deal
with the thousand and' one problems
which the retail florist has to face. I will
simply tell you a few of the main prob-
lems which I have encountered in our
business, and the ways in which I have
attempted to solve them. I will speak
of buying, of the management of the
store, with special reference to account-
ing and to deliveries, and of some gen-
eral rules to be followed in the securing
of new business.

BvLYing.

One of the big problems of the retailer
is successful buying. Nothing but expe-
rience makes the buyer, and on him de-
pends largely the success or failure of
the business.

The first problem in buying nowadays
is to decide whether one shall deal
through a commission man or go direct to
the grower. Trading direct with the
grower is becoming more difficult every
day. The reason for this is that the

FRANK J. McKENNA

Author of this paper, read before
the Canadian Horticultural Associa-
tion at Montreal, August 9, 1917, is
managing director of McKenna,
Ltd., of that city. What he says
embodies the experience of fourteen
years' management of a business
which had annual sales, at the be-
ginning of that time, of $12,000 a
year, and which had in the year just
closed sales amounting to $142,000.
These sales were all made in the
retail business, and Mr. McKenna
thinks it justifies him in claiming
that it shows the business to be the
largest in the Dominion.

specialist is producing the best stock,
and most growers are specializing to-
day. That is a process through which
all business is passing, and, though
the difficulties of direct dealing increase,
one can hardly quarrel with a process
which produces better stock. It is a
costly affair to secure a day's supply
direct from the growers now. There are
the telegrams and express charges on
each shipment, and there is the cost of
each box. Some growers even want to
make profits on the box. Many disap-
pointments ensue, and often unsatisfac-
tory stock is received.

These considerations force us to the
conclusion that we should buy from the
commission man. No doubt he charges
more for the stock, but we see what we
are getting, and pay according to qual-
ity. It also cuts out our expenses for
telegrams, express charges and the cost
of boxes. Some say that flowers brought
in from the growers last longer, but ex-
perience does not show this to have been
always the case. Carnations and roses
bought in Boston, and cut many hours
longer than local or western stock, will
at times be hard and sturdy after the
home stock is asleep or fallen to pieces,
even though the latter may have only
come from three to fifty miles, and is
supposed to have been cut the same day
or, at the earliest, on the previous eve-
ning. More particularly is this true with
regard to carnations. Boston stock ap-
pears to be better cured before ship-
ping, and it will at certain seasons out-
last by two or three days Ontario-grown
or local stock.

It may seem hardly believable, but it
is nevertheless true, that I have found
it more profitable to pay twenty-five per
cent duty on American stock than to
buy locally. The reason for this is that
what the American commission man has
not he will endeavor to secure for us,
whereas the grower simply replies too
often "Impossible to ship," at an hour
too late to buy elsewhere, or else he
simply short-ships.

The idea of a local market deserves

encouragement and support if only for
the reason that short-stemmed or open
stock may be obtained at a low figure
should the requirement arise.

Management.

Of all the problems confronting the
florist, I believe the necessity of good
bookkeeping is most neglected, and
at the same time is the problem which,
to my mind, it is most essential he
should solve. It is notorious that a good
florist is seldom a good accountant. Art
and mathematics are poor mixers, and
many men who are enthusiastic in their
business cannot be convinced that they
are neglecting a department vital to the
success of their business. There are in
the trade, however, some exceptions in
men who have recognized the advan-
tages of accurately systematizing costs
and profits. These men state confidently
that it is of primary value to them in
being able to increase tjieir business to
know always at the end of each year,
quarter or month, as the case may be,
how much they can safely spend or put
aside. The man who wa^ts two or three
years or longer to make a statement of
his business deserves to find himself
where he usually does, and that is no-
where. In all probability he will owe
more than he is owed. In this connec-
tion, let me say that it is most important
to keep personal and housekeeping ex-
penses separate from your business ex-
penses. I mention thig because it is
the most common mistake both of grow-
ers and retailers.

Keeping Tab on Business.

Just to illustrate my point, let us sup-
pose your total sales for the year amount
to $1,000, and that your books show the
total cost of goods bought to be $600,
or sixty per cent of the total sales, the
business expenses to be $300, or thirty
per cent of the total sales, and your
profit to have been $100, or ten per cent
of the total sales. Having discovered
that your purchases last year were sixty
per cent of the total sales, you could
base your calculations on that. At any
future time you could get a rough idea
of your gross profits by deducting sixty
per cent from your sales, and get at the
profits approximately by deducting the
actual expenses. If the next annual
statement shows your percentage of the
total sales for purchases to be higher,
then you will know that you have sold
your goods cheaper, and that to make
the same profit you must get your ex-
penses under thirty per cent, or increase
the selling price.

Credit is the great bugbear of the re-
tailer in any line of business, and is
more so to the florist, who is usually
lax in his accounting. The only satis-
factory solution — I cannot urge it too
strongly — is to employ a competent
bookkeeper or accountant. If the latter
has any ability he will soon show his
worth in results achieved. If your

business is too small to employ such a
bookkeeper, there are many capable men
and women looking for such work to
occupy leisure hours. The amount of
information you will secure about your
own business by doing this will, I feel
certain, increase your interest greatly
in your business. By letting yourself
know what you have already achieved
it will enable you to set a goal for future
efforts, and you will always liave some-
thing to look forward to.

Other details of management I will
refer to while considering the best
methods of increasing the business, as
all these problems have an intimate
relation to each other.

New Business.

With a good location, attractive show
windows well looked after, a limited
amount of judicious advertising up to
three or four per cent of the total sales,
arid the careful handling of all orders,
a retail florist's business will grow as
rapidly as one can well extend his facili-
ties to look after it, and this without the
aid of outside soliciting or crape chas-
ing.

By the careful handling of orders,
I mean not only that the flowers must
be fresh and accompanied with sufficient
green whether the green is charged for
or not, but also that they must be done
up to appear to the best advantage when
received. We must always think of the
effect produced on the person receiving
the flowers. There is no excuse for a
gift of flowers being wrapped only in
a paper parcel for delivery. They should
be in a box, and not bundled in, either.
In certain cases they should be in a bas-
ket or vase. It must be acknowledged
that many florists do not realize the im-
portance of delivering flowers in a neat
and attractive manner.

To avoid orders being overlooked, and
charges being forgotten or lost, and
to prevent disputes with customers,
adopt a systematic routine for the han-
dling of orders. Learn how others do
it, and do likewise unless you can im-
prove on their methods. I realize that
I would be infringing on your patience
if I were to go into full details on this
subject, but I will take the liberty of
making a few remarks on the use of
duplicating order books.

Handling the Orders.

For many years I was strongly op-
posed to their use, l>ut now I am just as
strong in their favor. I have used
them for three years, and find that the
advantages outweigli many times the
disadvantages.

Take the casli order, for instance.
The original, which goes to the customer
as a receipt, is a copy of the order, show-
ing all details. This prevents many
disputes. On a cha-ged order the orig-
inal remains with the duplicate until
the time for delivery, and it is then
filed without leaving the order desk.
This prevents its being lost. Shipping
tags are written in ink and attached
to the duplicates. All orders are filled
from the duplicate and notes of substitu-
tions and made-up work are added and
initialed by the clerk filling the order.
These are our delivery records, and they
are filed in the order of delivery. Once
a day the original charges are filed
alphabetically, summarized and handed
over to the bookkeeper. This will show
you a few of the advantages of the
duplicate order sheet.

VISITORS to the S. .\. F. convention next week will find the retail stores of New
York city among the many interesting things they will see. And one of the stores
that will be es2)ecially int<Mesting is that of M. A. Bowe, '.VA2 Fifth avenue, the pro-
j)rietor of which is presidetit of the New York Retail Florists' Association. By virtue
of his position in the association, Mr. Bowe will he foremost among the local men
who will do all they can to make the stiiy of the visitors i)leasant. But even though
he were not the head of the retailers' organization, Mr. Bowe would give the guests
at Gotham a hearty welconic 1 ecause he is a genial })erson. For i>roof of the last
statement look carefully at the jiortrait above.

delivery hook is the hcst and simplest
method.

Delivery.

Owing to the large territory which
florists hav(> to coNcr when making de-
liveries, auto (hdivery and messenger
hoys jirove the must satisfactory
methods. The lowest-priced niacdiines
with completely encdosed hodies, al-
though not cheajier in iijjkeep and fuel
c()nsnm])tion, afTord the (piickest means
of delivering floweis, and therefore^ the
hest means in our climate, l-'ioni my ex-
]ierience, I would not recommend using
one of these machines for (hdivery for
more than one year. .Vfter a year's serv-
ice sell it and buy a new one. It pays.
A delivery hody. if well built, will
outlast four or five chassis. Employ
good, reliable help. It will cost you
more, hut it pays in the long run. The
satisfied customer is your hest adver-
tisement, (lood service in the delivery
of orders has more to do with l)uilding
up a successful business than all the
other causes combined.

Bedding Plants.

Before I sit down I would like to say
a word with regard to the sale of bed-
ding plants in a retail store. It is a
troublesome and unsatisfactory business
for retail stores. My advice is, "Don't
handle them.'' They suft'er greater
damage in a few days than the profits
on them amount to. Should you grow
them yourself, sell direct from the
greenhouses, and make yo\ir customers
go there. Don't say, "They won't go."
They will if shown the advantages. We
have ]»roven it, and although we have
not sold a bedding plant at the stores
for years, we have developed the largest
retail bedding plant business in the
])rovince, with gratifying results.

Herkimer, N. Y. — Xeal Gleason, who
owns a gret'iiliouse here, intends start-
ing in the florists' business, growing
carnations, roses and ])ot plants. He says
that the peo])le of Herkimer now are
forced to go out of town for flowers and
that there is a good demand for stock.

SOCIETY OF AMERICAN FLORISTS.

THE CONVENTION PEOGEAM.

The thirty-third annual convention of the Society of American Florists, which
will be held in New York city next week, beginning August 21 and ending August 23,
naturally is the center of interest to florists everywhere. There probably is no city of
any size in the country from which at least one florist will not attend, while in many
places delegations have arranged to make the trip. What will be the effects of the war
on the florists' business, of course, will be one of the principal topics of the addresses
and discussions, but the program provides many other features that will hold the
interest of the visitors. The Convention Garden at Bronx park, too, will attract many,
as there are said to be some fine displays there. The New York Florists' Club has made
arrangements for the convention and expects that there will be a record attendance at
the sessions, which are to be held at the Grand Central Palace. Because of conditions
there is no program of entertainment for the visitors, but New York and vicinity
abound in places of interest, and no one who has the price will fail to find amusement
in greater or lesser quantities, as he desires.

WIND AND HAIL.

The matter of the wind storm insur-
ance will be up for discussion Sunday,
August 19, on an express train from In-
dianapolis to New York. The committee
appointed by the president of the S. A.
r. has not yet had the opportunity to
meet and prepare the report to be pre-
sented at the New York convention.
The committee consists of Anders Ras-
mussen, New Albany, Ind.; E. G. Hill,
Eichmond, Ind., and J. F. Ammann, Ed-
wardsville. 111. They will get together
at Indianapolis for the trip to the con-
vention and will prepare their report on
the train.

Mr. Hill is president of the Florists'
Hail Association, J. F. Ammann is vice-
president and Mr. Rasmussen is a direc-
tor. Mr. Rasmussen also is the prime
mover in the Florists' Mutual Casualty
Association, which is being organized
under the auspices of the State Flo-
rists' Association of Indiana.

The Florists' Hail Association will
hold its annual meeting at the Robert
Treat hotel, Newark, N. J., at 10 a. m.,
August 20. The special business will
consist of the consideration and adop-
tion of a new constitution and by-laws
drafted by J. A. Valentine and the legal
steps necessary to a renewal of the
charter of the organization.

PENN'S PRODUCERS.

The thermometer registered 100 de-
grees in the shade at Boston August 1,
but that fact did not bother the men of
the force at the store of Penn, the Flo-
rist. Business was unusually heavy
that day, there being orders for a num-
ber of funeral pieces that kept the de-
signers on the jump. After the work
was finished and ready for delivery, a
man with a camera happened in and
the force posed for him. The accom-
panying illustration is the result.

TATE'S TIPS.

The Telegraphic Delivery.

The telegraphic delivery of flowers is
a feature of the business that has al-
ways appealed to me. It is the ideal
way to deliver flowers when distance
is a factor to be reckoned with, as it
does away with the trouble and ex-
pense of packing and the danger of in-
jury in transportation, to say nothing
of weather conditions, extreme heat or
cold. Then another feature that every
florist should remember is the amount
of business that is absolutely lost, sim-
ply because the public is not familiar
with the system. To cite a case: A
friend of mine died in Baltimore who
had an only brother living in San Fran-
cisco. These brothers were devoted to
each other and the first thing the fam-
ily did was to telegraph to San Fran-
cisco. Of course it was impossible for
his brother to get there in time for
the funeral and I am sure he knew noth-
ing of the F. T. D. service or he would
have been represented at the funeral
by a floral offering. Many such cases
are happening every day. This is busi-
ness entirely lost to the trade, the profit

Part of Staff of Penn, Bostont After Finisliing Large Funeral Order,

of which the florists of each city might
have shared.

A National Business.

I fail to see how any florist can be
satisfied with the narrow confines of his
home town, when, by investing capital
that is absolutely trifling in compari-
son with the results obtained, he can be-
come a member of an organization that
will make his business national in
scope. To illustrate what I mean, take
W. F. Gude, for instance. Everyone
knows that Gude Bros. Co. is located at
1214 F street, N. W., Washington, D. C.
Say a customer who has just been ad-
vised of the death of a loved one or
friend in Denver walks into the store;
they are in a position to take the order
and assure the customer that it will be
delivered in good condition almost as
soon as they could deliver it in Wash-
ington. In this way Gude Bros. Co. and
the florist in Denver divide the profit
on business that would otherwise be
lost to both. But I can hear the skep-
tics say that at such a distance no one
knows what y6u are getting for your
money! Everyone knows that the first
thing some member of the bereaved
family will do after the funeral is to
write to the one who sent the offering,
acknowledging its receipt and describ-
ing it to them, and no doubt marveling
at the system that made it possible for
a token of sympathy to be sent, bear-
ing the card of the sender, thousands of
miles away.

This feature of the F. T. D. carries
out another idea of the association, the
fostering of fellowship and good will
among the florists themselves, for will
it not be natural for a pleased customer
to tell the florist from whom he ordered
that he has heard from his friends or
relatives and that a handsome offering
had been sent?

Branch Stores Eversrwhere!

Now, both of the florists figuring in
this transaction know that because of
their memberships in the F. T. D. the
whole transaction is guaranteed. The
sender knows his order will be taken

care of by reliable people and the other
that there will be no question about the
pay for his work — the association
stands back of both. In fact, every
member of the F. T. D. is in the same •
position as if he had a branch store in
almost every city in the United States.

I have spent some time in investigat-
ing this organization, in talking to its
members, and they are all loud in its
praises. Every place that I ask about
the F. T. D. there is the same reply,
that business done through this medium
is most satisfactory.

William F. Gude, of Washington, sent
me a copy of the constitution and by-
laws. In his letter he told me that these
tell the whole story — I agree they do.
They are as near perfect as it is pos-
sible for human agency to make them.
How any florist can read this and not
become a member is more than I can
understand. The trustee fund is a fea-
ture that, as far as the interchange of
business between members is concerned,
makes Bradstreet's and Dun's useless.
Another fine feature of the by-laws is
the pledge each member must make be-
fore he can become a member. This
binds him to faithfully observe and be
bound by each article of the constitu-
tion and by-laws and report to the
board of directors any irregularity or
fraud that may come to his notice on
the part of any member of the associa-
tion.

In conclusion let me say that in The
Review of July 19, page 14, there is an
invitation to every florist in the United
States to attend a meeting of this
organization on the first day of the
New York convention. Mr. Gude, its
president, and Albert Pochelon, its sec-
retary, will be there to explain its ben-
efits. My advice to every retail florist
who is not a member is — don 't miss this
meeting, for it will be an opportunity
for you to derive more practical good
for your business than any other fea-
ture of the convention that I know of.

SOCIETY OF AMERICAN FLORISTS.

THE CONVENTION PROGRAM.

The tliirt v-tliiiil aniiual coiivt'iition ol' the .Soeiety ol' Amerieau Fk)rists, ■which
will be lield in A'ew Yoik city next Avoeli, beginning August 21 and ending August 2o,
naturally is liic eenter of interest to llorists everywhere. There probably is no city of
any size in the country from which at least one llorist will not attend, while in many
places delegations have arranged to make the trip. What will be the effects of the war
i>n tlie llorists' business, of course, will be one of the principal topics of the addresses
and discussions, but the program ])rovides many other features that will hold the
interest of the visitors. The Convention Garden at Bronx park, too, will attract many,
as there are said to lie some line displays there. The New York Florists' Club has made
arrangements for the convention anil expects that there will be a record attendance at
the sessions, which are to be held at the Grand Central Palace. Because of conditions
there is no ])rogram of entertainment for the visitors, but New York and vicinity
abound in jdaces of interest, and no one who has the price will fail to hnel amusement
in greatei' or lesser (jua.ntities, as he desires.

WIND AND HAIL.

The matter of the wind storm insur-
ance will be up for discussion Sunday,
August 19, on an ex[)ress train from lii-
dianapolis to New York. Tlie committee
a]>pointed by the ])resident of the 8. A.
F. has not yet had the opportunity to
meet and prepare the report to be pre-
sented at the New York convention.
The committee consists of Anders Ras-
niussen. New Albany, Ind.; K. G. Hill,
Richmond, Ind., and J. F. Ammann, Ed-
wardsville, 111. They will o-ct together
at Indianapolis for the tri]i to the con-
vention and will prepare their report on
the train.

Mr. Hill is president of tlie Florists'
Hail Association, J. F. Ammann is vice-
president and Mr. Rasmussen is a direc-
tor. Mr. Rasmussen also is the prime
mover in the Florists' ^Mutual Casualty
Association, which is being organized
under the auspices of tlie State Flo-
rists' Association of Indiana.

The Florists' Ilail Association will
hold its annual meeting at tlie Robert
Treat hotel, Newark, N. J., at 10 a. m.,
August 20. The special business will
consist of the consideration and adop-
tion of a new constitution and by-laws
<lrafted by J. A. Valentine and the legal
steps necessary to a renewal of the
charter of the organization.

PENN'S PRODUCERS.

The thermometer registered 100 do
grees in the shade at Boston August 1,
but that fact did not bother the men of
the force at the store of Penn. the Flo-
rist. Business was unusually heavy
that day, there being orders for a num-
ber of funeral pieces that kept the do
signers on the jump. After the work
was finished and ready for delivery, a
man with a camera hajtpened in and
the force posed for him. The accom
panying illustration is the result.

TATE'S TIPS.

The Telegraphic Delivery.

The telegrai>hic delivery of flowers is
a feature of the business that has al
ways a]t]»eale(l to m(\ It is th(> ideal
way to d(diver flowers when ilistance
is a factor to be r(>ckoiieii with, as it
does away with the tinuMe and ex-
])ense of ]>acking and tlir dani;..!- nf in-
jury in transportation. In sa\ notliiiig
of weather conditions, ex'^r^'iiie lieat fir
cold. Then another featnie that everv
florist should remember is tlie amount
of business that is absolutidv lost, sim
ply liecause the jiuldic i< nut familiar
with tht> syst(Mii. Tn cite a casr: A
friend ot' mine died in P.;i It iniore wlm
had an only brother livini; in San I'lan
Cisco. These brothers were devoted to
each other and the first tliin^ the fam-
ily did was to telegiaidi to San I'r.an
cisco. Of course it was impossible for
his brother to get there in time for
the funeral and I am sure he knew noth-
ing of the F. T. D. service or he would
have been represented at the funeral
by a floral offering. Many such cases
are liappening every day. This is busi-
ness entirely lost to the trade, the ]irotit

of whicli the florists of each city might
have shared.

A National Business.

I fail to see hov\ any floiist can be
satistied with the narrow contines of his
home town, when, l>y investing capital
that is alisolut(dy tritling in comiiari-
soii with the results olitaine(l, hi> can be
come a member of an organization that
will make his business national in
scope. To illustrate what 1 mean, take
W. I\ (iude. for instance. Kveryone
knows that CiKle Bros. Co. is located at
1-_']4 F street, X. W., Washington, D. C
Say a customer who has just been ad-
vised of the death of a loved one or
friend in Denver walks into tlie store:
they are in a ]iosition to taUi^ the onlei-
and assure the customer that it will be
deli\ere(| in good con<lition almost fis
soon as they couhl ibdixcr it in Wash-
ington. In this way (Iude iiros. ( 'o. and
tlie floiist in Deiixer dixide the jirolit
on business that would otherwise be
lost to both. But I can liear tlir skep
tics say that at su(di a ilistance no one
knows what you are getting for \dur
inon(\\'I KxtTyoiie i<iiows that the lirsl
thing souK^ nieiiilier of tlie licreavt'd
family will do alter tlo- liineiiil is to

out another ide;i ol' the association, th(>
t'ostefing of fellowshiji and good will
anioiii; the tlorists t hinis(d\ (>s, for will
it not be natural for a pleased customer
to t(dl the florist from whom he ordered
that he has heard from his friends or
relatives and that a handsome oft\^ring
had been sent?

Branch Stores Everywhere!

Now, both of the florists figuring in
this transaction know that because of
their membershijis in the F. T. D. the
whole transaction is guaranteed. The

The Florists^ Review

August 1G, 1917.

CLEVELAND.

The Market.

Welcome rains have come at last and
caused a marked improvement in all
outdoor stock. The asters have been
benefited ])articularly, late arrivals
showing a much better quality. There
are no good sweet ])eaH coming into the
market at present. Local gladioli in the
better varieties are being offered freely
and are cleaned up daily. Roses have
improved during the last week, the
color now being good, with practically
no scorched foliage in evidence. A lim-
ited quantity of excellent indoor asters
is coming in, but hardly enough of
them to cut any figure as yet. A per-
sistent demand for orchids and valley
finds the local supply decidedly low.
Miscellaneous garden flowers are in
better asstoi'tment and are as popular as
ever for triihming. Easter and rubrum
lilies are plentiful, the former selling as
low as $6 per hundred.

Business for the first two weeks of
August has been normally good, some
concerns reporting gains, due chiefly to
heavy and continued runs of funeral
orders and an occasional large wed-
ding decoration.

Various Notes.

We regret to report that the annual
exhibition of the Ohio Gladiolus Society,
which was scheduled to be held August
14, has been canceled on account of a
pronounced scarcity of show stock. A
thorough and extensive canvass of the
situation convinced the society of the
impossibility of making a creditable
showing at this time. This condition is
particularly regrettable, as a splendid
setting had been secured for the dis-
play and every indication pointed to an
unprecedented success.

Max Rchling, of New York, is spend-
ing a part of his vacation at Akron, the
former home of Mrs. Schling. Max
could not be this near the Sixth City
without making a pleasant call upon
his friends in the trade. He is going
to St. Louis and thence direct home,
and expects to be in the pink of con-
dition for the big convention.

Albert C. Oelschig, of jk. V. Oelschig &
Sons, Savannah, (ia., paid a visit to the
Gasser Co. range last week, having been
employed there thirteen years ago. He
expressed himself as amazed at the
many changes that had taken place.
Mr. Oelschig reported business condi-
tions in his section of the south as en-
couraging, witli excellent prospects
ahead.

The time for the holding of the fifth
annual flower show in Cleveland, No-
vember 8 to 11, is rapidly drawing
near, and invitations are out for con-
tril)utions to the guarantee fund, only
approximately a third of the amount
guaranteed by members of the Florists'
Club in 1915 being required this year.
As flower shows in Cleveland have al-
ways been eminently successful, it will
require but little time to raise this
small amount. In conjunction witli this
exhibition will be held the annual meet-
ings of the national rose, carnation and
chrysanthemum societies.

Miss Dorothy Bailey, of the Westman
& Gctz store, is off for a much needed
vacation of a month 's duration.

Jack Fratus, of the Park Flower
Shop, and Carl Lee, of the Gasser Co,
have returned to their respective duties
after an enjoyable two weeks' vacation.

H. F. Piggott and C. B. Wilhelmy and
families are spending a month in cot-
tages on the lake front, going back and
forth to business as occasion requires.
All hands are wearing heavy coats of
tan.

Mr. and Mrs. A. M. Stackhouse, of the
firm of Stackhouse & Iden, Minerva,
Ohio, made a business trip to the whole-
sale market last week. J. McL.

Midsummer Windows and Chat.

On these sweltering days, with the
temperature hovering around 100 de-
grees, it must be like the traveler on
the desert reaching an oasis to walk
down Charles street and see the dif-
ferent florists' windows. That of Feast
& Sons, on one of the hottest days of
last week, particularly suggested this.
I have arranged many a flower window,
but any novice who looked at this win-
dow could not fail to see the idea the
artist had in mind when he arranged
it, for while in the street the mercury
was near the century mark, everything

about the display suggested rest and
comfort. Specimen tree ferns made up
the background, with raised places,
and there was a miniature fountain cov-
ered with green sheet moss, as well as
a few baskets arranged with gladioli
and hardy phloxes. It was the extreme
heat that helped to attract the atten-
tion of those passing to this bit of floral
art. Inside everyone was as busy as
the proverbial nailer with funeral work.

At the Halliday Bros, store John Hal-
dilay told of the wedding they have for
next week at Easton, Md. I asked if
weddings were not unusual at this time,
and he replied that this particular wed-
ding had been arranged for the autumn,
l>ut owing to the uncertainty of the fu-
ture of the groom, who is now in the
service of the country, it was to take
])lace now, as there is no telling where
Uncle Sam's boys will be in the fall.

Over at Cook's I found Herman Cook
in charge. He reported two such wed-
dings last week. This got me to think-
ing, so I asked him how the florists
fared in cases where wedding arrange-
ments had been interrupted by the w^ar.
He told me the only thing they had
missed was the decorations for the
home and church, as the weddings in-

variably took place at the country home
of the bride, on the portico or ])erhaps
on the lawn, and as there is often a con-
servatory or plenty of plants about, a
decoration is unnecessary. He said the
hardest thing about weddings was to
get valley. They had to let the whole-
saler know at least a week in advance
in order to be sure of it.

At the William J. Halliday place one
would think it was Easter morning In-
stead of the first week in August. Mr.
Halliday had a window of Easter lilies,
which were as fine as any you would see
on that holiday.

Edward A. Seidewitz had a window
of tree ferns, gladioli and asters that
attracted much attention.

With the Wholesalers.

As I was out to see several of the
floral sights of the city, I thought a walk
around the base of supply^ — ^the whole-
sale houses — might give me some news
for this week 's letter. In all of ' tile
houses I found that the gladiol,us and
aster had the center of the stage. It
was in the afteroon, and I found them
all pretty well cleaned iip.-^ti the S. S.
Pennock Co.. establishmen^j^ey report-
ed business above the avSS^e for this
time of the year. Stock, is plentiful,
they said; that is, short-slJjWimed roses,
gladioli and asters. Asters are not so
good this season as they iSirglit be, but
the prospects are that they will be bet-
ter as the season advances.

At the store of the Baltimore Whole-
sale Florist & Supply Co., H. Glick, the
manager, told me they had no trouble
in disposing each day of all the stock
they could get. They had many fine
Easter lilies, also some fine asters grown
by G. E. Lutz, of Glenburnie. An espe-
cially fine lot of gladioli at this place
came from E. J. Schroeder, of Fullerton,
Md. The company is anticipating ex-
tensive improvements to its store for
the coming season.

At the Niessen place, in the absence
of Mr. McKissick, W. J. Ekas, right-
hand man, showed me through the ice-
boxes. In the coolness of these one
would forget the heat of the street and
imagine it was midwinter. There were
jars of fine, long-stemmed roses, orchids,
etc. There were Ophelia and Sunburst
roses from the range of Stevenson Bros.,
at Towson, that were fine for this sea-
son.

Lehr Bros, had a consignment of Ra-
diance, My Maryland and Hoosier Beau-
ty that would be classed good at Christ-
mas. Charles Siegwart, the orchid
sjiecialist of Carroll, is sending in some
fine flowers. Mr. Siegwart started to
specialize in these against the advice of
many of his friends in the trade, who
claimed it would not pay in this local-
ity, but time has demonstrated their
error in judgment.

Various Notes.

W. Ekas told me of the death of his
uncle, Henry Bauer, at Salisbury, Md.,
where he had charge of a private place.

NEW YORK.

The Market.

iere have been few weeks in the
liiaflSfry of the cut flower market so
qtlwWas last week, declared the whole-
sanwfl* Apart from the call for flowers
for i^uneral work, there was practically
no demand. American Beauty roses still
are worth $3 per dozen, the demand
coming from the nearby fashionable
summer resorts. Few rose specialties
and novelties are arriving. The young
plants are beginning to do their share in
supplying roses, but those that arrive
are small and short-stemmed. Few
bring more than $5 per thousand.

The few carnations that arrive are
hardly worth the $1 per hundred asked
for them. Valley is scarce and August
11 the market was bare, as high as $8
per hundred being offered for it. Lilies
hold at $6 per hundred for selects.
Gigas are as hard to find as valley, and
as high as $1 each was offered for them
August 11.

Of the outdoor flowers there is a veri-
table flood. There is an oversupply of
asters, although the large and high-class
flowers are few. Golden Glow chrysan-
themums have arrived. Gladioli are in
such quantities that they cannot be
disposed of. Cosmos are here. Dahlias
are of good size and color. There also
are pond lilies, daisies, goldenrod, lark-
spurs, zinnias, calendulas and other
summer flowers.

Club Meeting.

The meeting of the Florists' Club
August 13 was attended by fifty of the
faithful. A. L. Miller reported progress
for his entertainment committee and
Mr. Kessler for the committee in
charge of the ladies' auxiliary and their
reception at the McAlpin hotel. C. H.
Totty reported for his reception com-
mittee and the decoration duties, under
the chairmanship of Mr. Kervan, are
all arranged for. There was some dis-
cussion by Messrs. Traendly, Manda and
Totty as to the president's reception,
which will take place at the Grand
Central Palace.

Messrs. Hunt and Goldberg were elect-
ed to membership and the latter ad-
dressed the meeting, pledging loyalty.

The only exhibit was the new fern.
President Wilson, which was staged
by its producer, Fritz Dressel, of Wee-
hawken, N. J. It is a sport of Teddy,
Junior, and received a certificate of
merit at the International Flower Show.
A graceful letter from Mr. Wilson was
read, accepting the name. The club's
certificate of merit was accorded it.
Mr. Dressel said it will be distributed
next year.

Secretary Young made an optimistic
address as to the coming convention,
predicting a large attendance and great
patronage for the trade exhibitors.

The resignation from the club of Phil
J. Fol^v, of Chicago, was accepted with
regret. \

The meeting of the club September 10
will be dahlia night. H. C. Riedel, of
Riedel & Meyer, 49 West Twenty-eighth
street, will take care of the shipments
of exhibitors.

Pre-Conventlon Notes.
Members of the Xew York Florists'
Club, who are to be hosts to the con-
vention visitors, are ready to receive
their guests. Already they are urging
the visitors to arrange to stay longer
than the three days of the convention.
Thej' say there are so many things to

see in New York city that it will be im-
possible to make the rounds in so short
a time. There are the parks of New
York and Brooklyn, the Bronx Park In-
stitute close to the Convention Garden,
the Museum of Art, the Museum of
Natural History, the library, aquarium,
the zoo, the Statue of Liberty and
Coney Island, all being worth a visit.

Of course, every visitor to the conven-
tion will want to see the retail flower
stores, which as a whole are the finest in
the world. Their owners are preparing
to welcome the guests.

Surrounding New York are growers of
national reputation. Their establish-
ments are large and interesting. They,
too, will be glad to have the convention-
ists pay them a visit.

Captain Fenrich, of the New York
Florists' Club bowling team, reports
that entries for the bowing contest are
slow in coming in. So far the Phila-
delphia Club team is the only one en-
tered, but it is expected that others will
be on hand to compete for the cham-
pionship.

E. J. Irwin, who last week attended
the conventin of the Canadian Horticul-
tural Association at Montreal, reports
that a number of Canadian florists ex-
pressed their intention of being present
at the S. A. F. meeting.

The exhibition of the American Gladi-
olus Society dovetails in with the S. A.
F. convention, opening on the closing
day of the latter meeting.

ness trip to Cleveland and St. Louis.

W. T. Showers, Schenectady, N. Y.,
observed that the heavy hail storm of
August 9 cut up his outdoor stock con-
siderably. Hitherto the call for cut
flowers for hospital use had been good.
It is claimed that the liospital atmos-

Danker, "it is but natural that we miss
trading with them at this time."

"The most successful method with us
(*)f growing cyclamen,'' observed Fred
Goldring, Slingerlands, N. Y., "is to

stand the plants on inverted pots and
spread a good thickness of tobacco
stems underneath. This keejis the plants
healthy. Many growers sjiray with a
contact insecticide to keep down the
so-called mite which is believed to ger-
minate with the seed. Undoubtedly,
the cyclamen will be one of the most
popular house plants next season. It is
easily grown, the more care given the
plant the better, and enough seeds can
be saved at home for all our needs."

' ' This hot spell is rather hard on
lieather culture," remarked W. W.
Hannell, Watervliet, N. Y., "but we
have it down pretty fine, so that such a
thing as a complete failure can hardly
happen. Unfortunately it is stocik
that cannot bo grown so easily as a ge-
ranium, else it would be even more pop-
ular, as it could be sold at a lower
figure. On the other hand, it being in
the class of aristocrats, so to speak, it
finds ready sale with plants of high
grade. ' '

J. O. Graham, Little Falls, N. Y., was

SCRAPS FROM MONTANA.

Great Falls.

The Electric City, as Great Palls is
generally called in Montana, is well
represented in the trade. "While on a
visit there a few days ago the writer
had the pleasure of visiting a number
of hustling workers. M. Kranz, the
proprietor of the Montana Floral Ex-
change, was my first host, and his store
on Third avenue is one of the leaders
in the city. This is in charge of W.
Hill, a live wire, lately of Seattle, and,
like so many of the brethren, an Eng-
lishman. A visit to the Kranz green-
houses was next in order, where I
found Mr. Kranz hard at work in the
carnation range. He reports business
good for the summer season, his worst
difficulty being, as is also the case with
the other florists, a shortage of good
help. Mr. Kranz has a good promise of
fine mums for the fall and winter,
though some of them seem late in plant-
ing.

From the Kranz place, under the hos-
pitable guidance of Mr. Kranz, and in
his "buzz wagon," we motored to the
store of John Feiden, on Central ave-
nue. From there to the Feiden green-
houses, on the west side, where we
found Mr. Feiden hard at work prepar-
ing his range for the winter business.
He is placing a new steam trap in op-
eration, just getting it connected. The
stock of mums here was in fine condi-
tion.

The writer then was taken on a sight-
seeing trip back to the city and through
it out on Fifth avenue, to the hand-
some store of the Electric City Con-
servatory. This store is located in the
residence district, and the proprietor
reports a sixty per cent increase in the
July business over that of July, 1916, de-
spite the fact that commencing with the
first of that month he has been doing
business on a strictly cash basis. This
fact should do much to refute the fre-
quently repeated statement of many
that it is impossible to handle this
business without an almost unlimited
line of credit, something that has done,
and is doing, more harm to the trade in
many places than almost any other one
thing.

Taken all in all, the trade in Great
Falls is prosperous and has a great fu-
ture before it.

Butte.

Butte is well supplied with florists,
and all report that business is good in
the great Copper City. The Butte Floral
Co. does a good business in its hand-
some store, and is always busy. One of
the chief things that attract the atten-
tion of a visitor is the generous supply
if good stock always on hand in the
,ool rooms.

Manlove's Flower Store, which, dur-
ing the last year, or until July 1, has
been under the guidance of J, W. Hol-
low, has been taken over by B. T. Man-
love again. Both report business good,
and under the management of Mr. Hol-
low the business has shown a decided
increase.

The Englewood Floral Co. reports a
good increase in business. It has some
good contracts on hand this season for
landscape work out of the city.

One of the main points of interest to
a visitor in Butte is the Columbia Gar-
dens. These gardens, almost the only
place of recreation in the city, are under

the capable direction of V. Siegel. The
large beds of pansies are perhaps the
finest to be seen anywhere and the
place is noted for pansies from coast to
coast. The greenhouses show some
stock, especially in summer carnations
and tuberous begonias.

Billings.

The Billings Floral Co., L. Poitras,
proprietor, reports a good business for
a new firm. Unfortunately, at the pres-
ent time Mr, Poitras is confined to his
home by a serious illness, but Mrs. Poi-
tras is ably attending to business in the
store on Broadway.

Helena.

The capital city of the state has one
of the largest ranges to be found in the
northwest, that of the State Nursery &
Seed Co. A commodious seed store, lo-
cated on Fuller avenue, combined with
a cut flower store, some 200,000 feet of
glass, ample grounds for outdoor nur-
sery stock and a large new seed ware-
house, place the company in the front
rank in this territory. A visit to the
range found a large area devoted to
roses, mums, poinsettias, hardy peren-
nials and other general stock. One
range of fourteen houses is devoted to
carnations. J. P. Ring, the genial fore-
man, informs us that part of the heat
for the houses is supplied by means of
natural hot water, something that many
of our brother florists will envy during
the present high prices of coal. J. W.
Jackson, who is in charge of the whole-
sale department at the range, reports a
steady demand for all the cut flowers
that the houses can produce. T. E,
Mills, the president and general man-
ager, has been on the sick list for some
months, and is now recuperating on the
coast, in Oregon. During his absence
his brother, E. W. Mills, of Wenatchee,
Wash., is at the nursery. At the store
Walter Card reports a good summer
trade and a great demand for fall seeds
for farm use, winter wheat and rye be-
ing especially in demand.

NASHVILLE, TENN.

The Market.

During the last two weeks business
has been exceptionally heavy for mid-
summer. The dull season began later
this year than usual, and probably the
fact that there have been several thou-
sands of soldiers here a good part of the
time has helped much, though soldiers
are not as a rule considered large pur-
chasers of flowers.

Until ten days ago we had an abun-
dance of rain, and outdoor stock has
come on well. There never before has
been so wide a range of flowers offered
to the summer trade as this season.
Annuals and perennials in quantities
have come in for a share of the popu-
larity, and had it not been for these
there would have been a decided short-
age of flowers much earlier in the sea-
son. At present flowers are decidedly
scarce, roses being almost out of the
market, and carnations, of course, nil,
so the trade has to be content with
gladioli, lilies and asters. Fortunately,
lilies and gladioli ar^ abundant.
Gladiolus Lily Lehman is the best white
to date for this climate. It must be
picked before it has had time to burn,
however. It is predicted that this va-
riety will in time largely displace Au-

gusta, especially as it is earlier inS
blooming. I| < <1

Various Notes.

The question asked on all sides the
other day was. Have you heard any-
thing about the bulbs? All the growers
are trying to be in a position so that it
will be possible to get along without
serious handicap should the bulbs not
arrive. Valley will be missed most,
but, fortunately, there was more valley
put in storage by our growers last fall
than ever before, and valley will be in
evidence for some time, possibly until
spring, even though no pips come
across the water. There are enough
home-grown daffodils to be had here to
tide over if none should Come in the
fall. Calliopsis and hunnemannia have
been tested in a small way, have pro-
duced exceedingly well and they have
sold on sight. Both are grown from
seed in a short time and flower for a
long time.

There is practically no new building
in progress here this summer. Much
repair work had to be done as a result
of the hail some two months or more
ago, and a little remodeling is being
done, but no one seems to be enlarging
his place.

The Joy Floral Co. now has been
operating its store in Chattanooga for
more than six weeks and is highly
pleased with the success of the venture.
It has paid expenses from the first and
the trade is on the increase, even during
the dull season. The company planted
several thousand roses outdoors this
spring, in order to increase its summer
cut, and has a larger acreage of gladioli
than ever before. The company also
constructed a large lath house for grow-
ing asters. This has proven a success.

Oscar Geny has had rather a hard
time this summer in the matter of
health, hardly being able to attend to
business. He is improving slowly and
goes to the greenhouses every day long
enough to be sure that things are going
as they should. At the store they are
having a good run of business, but they
are extremely short on roses. They
have built a large cooler that is cooled
by their own refrigerating machine, so
that they can do most of their own cold-
storing.

Mclntyre Bros, have had plenty of
diversion this summer in repairing the
damage done by the spring hail
Things are in good shape again and the
crop is coming on nicely for another
year. They have a good cut of gladioli
and some excellent roses at present, as
well "as the line of general stock.

Haury & Sons have been doing a
steady plant business during the sum-
mer and even now are selling pot plants
for boxes and bedding at a fair rate.
This certainly has been an unusual sea-
son.

J. F. Corbett has a nice lot of roses in
the field, and, as usual, they are produc-
ing well. He is shipping cut gladioli to
St. Louis. F. B.

Chippewa Falls, Wis. — F. S. Weigand,
who recently sold his place at the corner
of Bay street and Grand avenue, is
tearing down the five greenhouses there.
Four will be erected on his farm outside
the city limits, and the other will be
put up in the rear of his new home on
Columbia street, where the family will
live and where Mr. Weigand will con-
tinue the retail business he established
seventeen years ago.

OBITUARY

Josepb W. Vestal.

Joseph W. Vestal, senior member of
the firm of J. W. Vestal & Son, Little
Bock and Argenta, Ark., died at his
home on Eiverside drive, Argenta,
August 6, after an illness of two weeks.
Although Mr. Vestal had b^eu in ill
health during the last year, his condi-
tion was not considered serious until
shortly before his death. He was 82
years of age and is survived by his wife,
one son, Charles Vestal, and two daugh-
ters, Mrs. William Smith, of Argenta,
and Mrs. Ella Wiggle, of Chicago.

Mr. Vestal went to Argenta in 1880
from Cambridge City, ,Ind., and estab-
lished the greenhouse range which he
managed until the sickness which caused
his death forced him to cease work. His
son, Charles Vestal, was associated with
him in the management of the com-
pany's affairs, which consisted of a
range and retail store in Little Eock,
and the Argenta establishment. The
son will continue the business.

Funeral services for Mr. Vestal were
held from the Scottish Eite Cathedral
August 8. The services were attended
by Scottish Eite Masons, who are mem-
bers of Arkansas Consistory No. 1. Bur-
ial was in Oakland cemetery.

John A. Bopp.

John A. Bopp, who recently sold his
greenhouse range and the land adjoin-
ing in Cumberland, Md., and moved to
his farm on the Bedford road, near that
city, was found drowned in the pond
on the latter place August 1. It is be-
lieved that worry over moving was the
cause of his act, as he had expressed a
disinclination to make the change. Mr.
Bopp was 62 years old and was born in
Germany. He came to this country
forty-six years ago, and in 1901 bought
a greenhouse range on the Potomac
river. In February, 1916, he added a
retail store to his holdings. Mr. Bopp
was the third of his family to die by
drowning, his father having lost his life
under similar circumstances in Ger-
many, and his son, William Bopp, hav-
ing been drowned several years ago
while skating. He is survived by his
wife, two sons, J. Elmer Bopp and
Arthur Bopp, and one daughter.

Harry H. Youngs.

Harry H. Youngs, formerly in the
nursery business at Troy, 0., died at his
home in Daytoi^ 0., August 4. Mr.
Youngs was 69 years of age, and is sur-
vived by one son.

Armin J. Baur.

Armin J. Baur, president of the Baur
Floral Co., Erie, Pa,, was killed last
week by an electric shock in the office
of the greenhouses. His two little
children were playing nearby.

Mr. Baur was shocked when he
touched an uninsulated spot on the
cord of a swinging drop light over his
desk, the coroner said. A cross wire
holding the drop cord in place had worn
away a little of the insulation. His
right hand was badly burned. The nor-
mal power of the lamp is 110 volts and
this would not have killed, according to
officials.

Mr. Baur was born in Pittsburgh. He
was 39 vears old. He had lived at

Erie most of his life and organized the
floral company ten years ago. Sur-
viving are his wife and two children,
Kathryh and Elizabeth; four brothers,
Henry and William O., of Erie; A. F. J.,
of Indianapolis, and S. Alfred, of Eock-
ford. 111.; and two sisters, Mrs. Herbert
Abbott and Mrs. Bertha E. Phillips, of
Erie.

Joseph Sexton.

Joseph Sexton, one of the pioneer
nurserymen of California, died recently
at his home, Goleta Hall, Goleta, near
Santa Barbara. Mr. Sexton, who was
75 years of age, did more than anyone
else to foster the walnut industry, hav-
ing been the originator of the famous
Santa Barbara Soft Shell and other va-
rieties. At his home nursery he had
many rare and beautiful trees, planted
with his own hands forty and fifty years
ago and now magnificent specimens. He
is said to have fathered the pampas
grass industry in the state, having been
the first to see the possibilities of grow-
ing the plumes for market, dyed and
natural. The nursery for some time has
been operated by the Santa Barbara
Nursery Co., under the management of
J. Pettingel. Mr. Sexton leaves a wife
and nine children. H. E. E.

The Market.

DETROIT, MICH.

The Market.

Midsummer market conditions re-
main, but the season promises to open
earlier than usual. The few good roses
available are in heavy demand, the
shortage of long-stemmed Ophelia, Rus-
sell, Hoosier Beauty and Shawyer still
being acute. American Beauties are
arriving in a more satisfactory manner,
the supply now seeming to balance the
demand. Orchids and valley are of
good quality, but hard to procure at
times. Asters and gladioli, however,

An unusual amount of funeral work
last week caused considerable activity
among the retailers, but otherwise busi-
ness was quiet. There is a smaller va-
riety of flowers in the market than at
any time since summer began. Valley
is of poor quality and is scarce. Easter
lilies sell as high as $3 per dozen, retail,
which is equal to the price at Easter.
Asters are plentiful, but are not of good
quality. The supply of gladioli is equal
to the demand.

Various Notes.

Henry Strobell is spending the week
ends at his cottage at Bradley Beach.

Frank Philips, of Philips Bros., has
returned from a fishing trip along the
coast. He landed one striped bass
weighing more than eleven pounds. On
his return, Fred Philips left for a sim-
ilar outing.

At the summer meeting of the New
Jersey Horticultural Society at Bridge-
ton it was decided to hold the winter
meeting at Newark. Tentative dates
for the meeting are January 8 to 10.

R. B. M.

The "hot' ' in hot springs is the thing
that greatly interests the management
of the State Nursery & Seed Co., of Hel-
ena, Mont., for not far from the range
there gushes hot water from the earth,
and by pumping this water into the
greenhouse pipes the company has elimi-
nated much of the sting in its coal bills.

The whole affair w»s done in a bang-
up manner, with plenty of trimmings.
It was 1 o'clock of a bright afternoon,
August 9, when the good ship Erastus
Wells swung into the Mississippi and
proceeded upstream. On board were
seventy-five hearty St. Louis trades-
men, members of the St. Louis Florists'
Club and guests of Park Superintendent
E. Strehle on this occasion, the annual
meeting of the club. There was a full
program on board, with the big event,
the balloting for new officers, coming off
on the return trip from the city nursery.
Each officer was reelected, as follows:
President, Jules Bourdet; vice-presi-
dent, August Hummert; secretary, J. J.
Windier; treasurer, W. C. Smith.

It was tit for tat, so to speak, with
the judge as umpire. Peter Chocolos,
a New York retailer, charged one Col-
lins with attempting to shoot him.
Whereupon Collins accused the florist of
trying to steal Mrs. Collins' love, said
wife being cashier for Chocolos, After
both parties had cooled off, however,
the judge showed what a good mediator
he was, and the contestants agreed to
let bad enough alone.

"Your Royal Highness," will be the
proper form for Tacoma growers to use
in addressing their help if the labor
scarcity at the Puget sound city be-
comes more acute. With the large
army post near-by offering special in-
ducements to men, the grower has to
handle his greenhouse helpers with vel-
vet gloves, despite advances of from
twenty-five to fifty per cent in wages.
"Of course," says one employer, "I
can tell my man I don't like his style,
but it's ten to one he will board the
'jitney' for the army post and a new
job."

Pity the man whose job it is to collect
for the stock that went to sea in the Nieuw
Amsterdam.

The freesia is more popular than ever
this season. One large California grower
expresses the belief that the demand for
bulbs will be greater than the supply.

The question is, if any azaleas come,
what will the quality be? The opinion
obtains that there has been so little care
pot on the azaleas in the last few years
that there is extremely little first-class
stock in, Belgium.

The florist who must forgo the pleas-
ure to be derived from attending the
S. A. F. convention in New York next
week, will get the benefits of the gather-
ing by reading the Convention Number of
The Review, out August 23.

We all know that the cyclamen is one
of the daintiest of cut flowers, and a
cyclamen specialist says that if the stem
is pulled from the corm and then cut an
inch and a half from the base the flower
will last well in water. Flowers for ship-
ment should always stand in water six
hours before packing.

What the consumer thought of the coal
producers and the prices they charged
bothered those gentlemen not a bit. But
the moves of several states looking toward
confiscation of coal properties, and the
announcement that President Wilson in-
tends taking drastic action, were fol-
lowed by promises of material reduc-
tions. Tickling a mule'.s heels is
dangerovus business, even if you are
agile.

BEST BAIT FOR BUSINESS.

Business, sensitive creature, won't
hang her hat on the hall tree of the man
who gives her the icy stare and cold
shoulder. She must be invited, wel-
comed and encouraged to stay, and one
of the best ways to coax her around is
by advertising.

Now, there is advertising and adver-
tising, as everybody knows, but it's the
riglitly placed kind, the fairly priced
and really read kind, that brings home
business, like this:

Please discontinue our coleus nd in The Re-
view. We sold tliousands of coleus plants and
had to return money. That's the only thing we
rton't like ubout our ads in your publication. —
Avenue Floral Co., C. W. Eichling, president.
New Orleans, La., August 6, 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.

PROSPEROUS TIMES COMING.

The current issue of one of the popu-
lar magazines contains an article in
which an attempt is made to forecast
what will happen to business in the
United States during the war. The
forecast is based on the experience of
Canada and the European countries. In
those countries, it is asserted, there has
been an orgy of spending by the classes
who are most benefited by the war, and
are least taxed for its cost — the skilled
workmen.

Such authorities as H. G. Selfridge,
owner of the largest department store
in London and an American; a promi-
nent Canadian banker, and Frank A.
Vanderlip, president of the National
City Bank, New York city, are quoted.
All agree that the United States, be-
cause of its entry into the war, is about
to experience an unequaled era of pros-
{terity. They declare that labor will
weekly draw a greater aggregate sum
than ever before; -that this money will
he spent not only for necessities, but for
luxuries as well. On the other hand,
it is predicted, the wealthy class will
curb its expenditures, as it will bear a
great proportion of the taxation that
will be imposed to carry the war bur-
den.

This means, the conclusion is drawn,
that there will be more money spent for
luxuries, unless, of course, the govern-
ment interferes, than ever before. It

will bring about a change in the class of
people that will do the buying.

Florists need have no fear that much
of this money will not be spent for
flowers. The heretofore poor man, now
that he has money, will be as apprecia-
tive of flowers as the rich man. He will
be as ready to make his wife, or family,
happy by the gift of flowers as his more
fortunate brother. All signs point to a
banner flower selling season.

CREDITS.

Probably no other subject is receiv-
ing so much attention as is being given
to credits — but the attention is of the
wrong kind thus far. The solution of
the credit problem is like the charity
of the proverb — it should begin at
home.

Not one bit of improvement will be
made by talking about the necessity
for prompt pay — one can lecture his
neighbor until he runs out of breath
and about all he will get for the trouble
will be, "Why don't vou do it your-
self?"

To strengthen the credit situation in
this trade there is just one way to go
about it: Stop selling to the man who
pays too slowly; don't ship without
looking up the credit of the new cus-
tomer. Transients should be asked for
cash, as far as that is practicable. It is
a matter in which each individual must
act for himself.

WHEN THINGS ARE MUTUAL.

It is as important for a mutual as-
sociation as for one organized for profit
to let the advantages it offers be known
and to take such steps as are necessary
to cause them generally to be availed
of. A large and constantly increasing
membership is essential to the success
of an organization for mutual insur-
ance— a large membership spreads the
losses among a considerable number of
people, guaranteeing that unexpectedly
heavy losses will not fall as a burden
on a few; steadily increasing member-
ship is a guaranty that the man who has
stood his assessments for years will not
some day be left to "hold the bag."

The directors of the Florists' Hail
Association would not be making an un-
warranted use of the members' money
if they were to use part of it in making
that mutual organization's unquestion-
able merits generally known to those in
the trade.

CHICAGO.

The Market.

Although trading was rather slow at
tlie beginning of last week in the whole-
sale cut flower market, a general
strengthening of demand was to be
noticed August 9, which increased with
the remaining days of the week and left
the credit side of the ledger in a satis-
factory condition for the seven days.
The poor condition of the market the
early part of last week was due in a large
measure to the great quantities of early
asters which had arrived, but this sup-
ply is almost over and the late stock
lias not yet arrived. It is said many
plants have died this year from stem-
rot.

The beginning of this week finds the
market in a fairly satisfactory con-
dition. Business would be better if
there were more stock. Good roses are

scarce. Carnations are no factor at all,
only a little inferior stock coming in.

Only a few American Beauties are
arriving and these are readily disposed
of. Russells of all grades also are ex-
ceedingly scarce. Of the other varieties
of roses a considerable shortage of
longer stock is to be noticed, which of
course helps the shorter grades to obtain
better prices. The demand for roses of
all kinds is good but prices are not high.

The supply of valley is just about
sufficient to meet a small demand. Or-
chids remain scarce. There are plenty
of Easter lilies. Outdoor-grown stocks
are arriving in larger quantities, but
they find only a poor market. There are
no good sweet peas to be seen on the
market. Gladioli are arriving in good
quantities and are of satisfactory
quality. Mrs. King and America are the
leaders. Augusta also finds a good sale,
but on the whole the white and mixed
varieties are not moving well. The
novelty varieties are in better supply
than ever before and sell well. There
is still a quantity of early asters. Good
stock, however, is not overplentiful
and is in fairly strong demand. Daises
remain plentifuL Giganteums are
abundant and rubrum lilies sell poorly.
Candytuft is almost over, as are snap-
dragons. Gypsophila arrives in ample
quantities and finds a receptive market.

Various Notes.

G. M. Reburn says he is well pleased
with the condition of business. "To
show you how it is," said ho, "in July I
received mail orders to the amount
of $4,115 from my classified ads in The
Review. The ads cost $35.05, or less
than one per cent of the sales."

The bulb dealers received Harrisii and
amaryllis last week. French stock is
due any day. Japanese bulbs will be
late. Dutch stock is expected with con-
fidence now, but the date of shipment
is not yet known.

PHILADELPHIA.

The Market.

The cut flower market is weak and
irregular. There is no fault to find
with the supply. There are plenty of
good summer flowers, but there is not
enough business to care for them.
Gladioli are now extremely plentiful.
The new crop is fine. The last of the
old crop is poor; the heat caught them,
with disastrous results. There is also
an excellent supply of asters. The best
bring fair prices. The poor asters are
thoroughly unsatisfactory to grower
and wholesaler alike. Easter lilies
have dropped back in sympathy with the
general market. Only orchids and
valley are scarce and high in price.
The Japanese hydrangea is in season.
White roses are not equal to the de-
mand at times. Other roses are plenti-
ful and cheap. Compared with the first
half of last August, the wholesalers say
that the volume of business is as great
but the average prices are much lower,
as so many more flowers are offered now
than there were a year ago.

Greenhouse Building.

So much has been said about the
private places that would not operate
greenhouses next winter on account of
the unsettled labor and coal conditions,
that it is refreshing to receive the fol-
lowing list of new contracts from the
Philadelphia office of the King Con-
struction Co., through the courtesy of
William J. Muth:

Erection of curved-eave greenhouse, 18x50, for
Dr. Archibald G. Tliorason, Ardmore, Pa.

Erection of curved-eave lean-to, 12x34, for
Watson F. Fuqua, Jenkintown, Pa.

Erection of range for George C. Thomas, Jr.,
Chestnut Hill, Pa., consisting of one curved-
eave greenhouse, 25x84, divided into three com-
partments; one house 25x59, divided into two
compartments; one propagating house 11x17 and
service building 25x26. Briclt walls will be
used throughout in this construction, panel
vents being worked in the walls for bottom ven-
tilation. All benches will be of strictly sanitary
type, having galvanized pipe frames with tile
bottoms and slate sides.

Doings at Dreer's.

The description of what is going on
at a thoroughly equipped range like that
of the Eiverton one of Henry A. Dreer,
Inc., is necessarily confined to broad
lines. There is so much of interest that
detail is out of the question. Speaking

broadly, then, the kentias will meet the
market requirements for the coming
season. They are a magnificent lot in all
the sizes. The kentia ranges are a
pleasure to see. Evidently the buyers
are ordering earlier than usual. Entire
beds of kentias in many of the houses
are reserved for delivery early in Sep-
tember. The stock that remains still is
ample. Cocos Weddelliana is for the
present confined to the small sizes. The
handsome specimens have been swept
so closely that no more will be available
now. This dainty palm is beautifully
grown here. There is a handsome block
of Asplenium Nidus-avis. These cele-

brated bird's-nest ferns in 7-inch pots
are particularly fine. They are thrifty
and clean, reflecting credit on the cul-
tural woric bestowed on them.

The glory fern, Adiantum Glory of
Mordrecht, is justifying the confi-
dence shown in it. The houses that will
be offered in 4-inch pots are full of
promise. Adiantum Farleyense, too, has
its place, an exquisite fern of great re-
finement. The confidence placed in the
Boston fern family is as strong as in the
past. The varieties that have been
selected as the best will remain in the
lead another season, to be grown as well,
maybe just a little better, from the ex-
perience gathered from intelligent study
of their needs.

An Interview with Robert A. Craig.

"We prove our confidence in the fu-
ture by our additions at Norwood —
25,000 square feet of glass and 15,000
square feet of shed since last year. We
are proud of our stock — more and even
better dracasnas than ever. Take
tenninalis for example. We now have,
in August, plants as fine as it was
formerly considered good growing to
get in December. Our last stock sheets
showed an almost incredible numl)er of
crotons, which must be seen to be ap-
preciated, they are so fine.

"Begonias are considered scarce this
year; they are not scarce at Norwood.
Cincinnati, Mrs. Peterson and Konkur-
ent are our leading varieties. We have
a house of specimen Areca lutescens
that would be hard to equal anywhere.
Our ferns, led by Nephrolepis Nor-
wood, are a grand lot. I want you to
make a ]i()int of seeing our plants; then
you will understand why 1 feel so en-
thusiastic about them."

The Market.

A small variety of flowers now is to
be found in the market, and business
is quiet. Outdoor flowers predominate
and will now do so for some weeks. As-
sters and gladioli vie for supremacy.
Both are abundant, and while some ex-
tra good stock realizes fair prices the
general average is rather low and does
not equal that of a year ago. Some
primulinus gladioli are seen. They are
much more decorative and far less stiff
than the other types of gladioli! Lilies
are abundant and of grand quality, but
few sell at more than $4 to $5 per hun-
dred. Sweet peas are out of the market
and last week's intense heat finished
the carnations. The roses arriving are
mainly short-stemmed, but sell moder-
ately well.

Cattleyas are scarce and sell in small
lots as high as $12 per dozen. Garde-
nias are out of the market. Outside of
scabiosas, sweet sultans and cornflow-
ers, there are few miscellaneous flowers
arriving. Some gypsophilas still come
from Maine and New Hampshire. Tor-
rential rains August 9 and 10 seriously
damaged outdoor flowers.

Gladiolus Exhibition.

The late season, with a long drought
added, somewhat affected the quantity
and quality of exhibits at the annual
gladiolus show in Horticultural hall
August 11 and 12, but flowers comfort-
ably filled the main hall. For twelve
varieties first prize went to C. F. Fair-
banks, second to Jelle Eoos. For six
spikes of crimson, one variety, H. E.
Meader won with Black Beauty; sec-
ond, Jelle Roos, with Goliath. Other
awards were:

Six spikes, pink — H. B. Meader, first, with
splendid Myrtle; S. E. Spencer, second, witli
Mrs. Frank Pendleton.

Six spikes, red — Jelle Roos, first, with Aleida;
H. E. Meader, second, with Jessie.

Six spikes, white — C. F. Fairbanks, first, with
Jessie Palmer; Jelle Roos, second, with Chicago
White.

Six spikes, yellow — C. F. Fairbanks, first, with
Ida: Jelle Roos, second, with Annie Wigman.

Six spikes, any other color — C. F. Fairbanks,
first, with Loveliness; Jelle Roos, second, with
Uerada.

Six spikes primuliniis — Julia M. Fairbanks,
first; C. W. Rrown, second.

One vase, ten varieties — Mrs. Percy G. Forbes,
first.

Seedling, one spike — C. Bogholt, gardener to
Miss Fanny Foster, Newport, R. I., with No.

188, which was a glorified Schwaben. The same
exhibitor won second with No. 62, which Is like
Pink Perfection, but much superior.

Fifty varieties, one spike of each — 0. F. Fair-
banks, first, with a grand collection. Some of
his best were: Aberdeen, Mary Pickford. Bal-
timore, Cherry King, Christine Margaret Kel-
way. Myrtle, Loveliness, Majestic, Herada, Lit-
tle Fawn, Orby, Hyacinth, Austrasie, Charle-
magne, Rose of July and Mauve Queen. Jelle
Roos was second.

Most artistic display covering 200 square feet
— C. W. Brown & Son, first, with a splendid lot
of flowers well arranged.

Most artistically arranged basket — Boston Cut
Flower Co., first.

The Boston Cut Flower Co. also put
up a tastefully arranged display of
palms and foliage plants. Hanging bas-
kets and other receptacles were used
and the effect was pleasing. A silver
medal was awarded.

C. Bogholt had a splendid collection
of seedlings. Nos. 207, 204, 208, 64 and
224 were awarded honorable mention. H.
E. Meader staged a fine table of beauti-
ful Myrtle. The Eiverbank Gardens
had a nice display of named sorts.

C. F. Fairbanks received a well-mer-
ited silver medal for a grand display
of primulinus hybrids, set up in large,
well-elevated vases, in big bunches.
Some of the best in this notable display
were: Angola, Tupelo, Moonlight, Sil-
vis, Salmon Beauty, Regulus, Roanoke,
lola, Sirius, Anita, Capello, Sedan, Ana-
masa, Elberton, Canopus, Andromeda,
Sweet Orra, North Star, Alice Tiplady,
Golden Gate, Butterfly, Perseus and
Cassiopeia. The primulinus hybrids
quite outclassed the other gladioli in

In twelve varieties of perennial
phlox, for commercial growers, T. C.
Thurlow's Sons were first, with Maid
Marian, Mme. P. Carpentier, Africa,
Marquise de St. Paul, Bernice, Stella's
Choice, Argon, Elizabeth Campbell,
Baron Van Dedem, Le Feu de Monde
and H. Pfleiderer. This concern was
also first for six trusses, one variety,
with Maid Marian, and showed in addi-
tion a large table of named varieties
not for competition.

Edward Parker, gardener to Oliver
Ames, led for twelve spikes open to
private gardeners, with Saison's Lier-
val, Blue Hills, Montagnard, Rose
Queen, Iris, Rynstrom, Opal, Pink Beau-
ty, Von Hochberg, Champs Elysees and
Coquelicot.

George N. Smith showed a good col-
lection of phloxes, one variety, Welles-
ley, receiving honorable mention. Wil-
liam Thatcher, gardener to Mrs. J. L.
Gardener, showed the best 100 bottles
of annuals. A. E. Kunderd showed the
fine white gladiolus, Lilywhite, grown
by H. E. Meader. It is an improved
Chicago White and received a certifi-
cate of merit.

age of 5,000 roses daily from his Revere

roses. The one most recently planted
contains 20,000 plants. The season's
supply of coal for both the Eevere and
Nahant establishments is now secured.

The prolonged drought was terminat-
ed August 9 and 10 by torrential rains,
over four and one-fourth inches fall-
ing. A large proportion of outdoor
flowers were ruined, but the moisture
proved a blessing to vegetable and
other crops.

Charles Holbrow, of Brighton, has
about 10,000 plants of his new hybrid
toa rose, which is a cross between Chris-
tie-Miller and Taft. The longer he
grows it, the better he likes it. He has
dropped Hadley, and while Francis
Scott Key does well it is not found
profitable. In carnations 1,000 of the
new Albert Roper have been planted.
Other stand-bys are Matchless, Pink
Delight, Ward and Benora.

C. T. Beasley & Co. have repiped two
houses and are planning to heat an-
other. They have also built concrete
walls and a new chimney. They have
already planted in their pansies and
will house more than 25,000. One house
is devoted to tomatoes and another to
cucumbers. These are cropping heavily.
One house of lettuce, with the plants
nicely headed and fit for market, bolted
during the recent heat wave.

F. J. Dolansky has a fine batch of
Cattleya labiata with buds showing in
the sheaths. Gigas and Gaakelliana
have done exceptionally well with him
this season. He received a large quan-
tity of newly imported plants recently.

The Welch Bros. Co. reports a large
call for short-steinmed roses, asters,
gladioli and lilies. One customer takes
2,500 to 3,000 short-stemmed roses daily.

E. G. REIMERS & SON CO.

Established 1880. Incorporated 1918

The demand for the better grades of
roses is not robust.

The Eawson Conservatories, of Ar-
lington, will grow about 100,000 carna-
tions during the coming season. The
varieties are Enchantress Supreme,
Benora, Matchless, Beacon, Pink De-
light and Ward. They have three houses
of chrysanthemums.

William H. Carr, of the Boston Flow-
er Exchange, has a new car in which
he expects shortly to make a tour of
northern New England.

McAlpine Bros., of Exeter, N. H., are
shipping down a nice lot of American
Beauty, Double White Killarney and
single Killarney roses.

Several months ago it was announced
in this column that Alexander Mont-
gomery was to sever his connection
with the Waban Bose Conservatories.
Within a day or two Mr. Montgomery
will take this step and a manager to
succeed him wOl be appointed during
the present week. During his long stay
at Natick Mr. Montgomery has ever
produced a high grade of roses, and the
Waban Conservatories are always the
Mecca for rose growers. He will retire
to Hadley, where his sons are running
a big rose range, and will carry with
him the esteem of all horticulturists in
this section.

William A. Hastings is spending a
few weeks' vacation at Fairhaven,
Mass., getting himself in condition for
the fall campaign.

Both private and commercial growers
have their labor troubles these davs.
The staff of the W. W. Edgar Co., with
three or four exceptions, went out on
strike August 11, although Mr. Bartsch
offered to meet them halfway, and the
establishment is at present much under-
manned.

Judson Knight, the courteous man-
ager of the Boston Cooperative Market,
is spending a vacation on the north
sliore.

William Anderson, of South Lancas-
ter, chairman of the plant and flower
committee of the Massachusetts Horti-
cultural Society, has been seriously sick
in the Clinton hospital. I am glad to
report that he is much improved.

There will be a good local represen-
tation at the New York S. A. F. con-
vention, although shortage of labor and
other causes will reduce the attendance.

The Market.

The cool nights following the extreme
heat have toned up the cut stock reach-
ing the market, but the demand for it
has been light. Wholesalers and re-
tailers agree that business has been ex-
tremely quiet, there being little doing
outside of funeral work. Fewer roses
are coming in, as the young stock is not
yet producing. Asters are abundant,
the white and purple shades having the
call. Gladioli are the best flowers now
in the market. The prices range from
$1 to $3 per hundred.

There has been a demand for Easter
lilies, and the sapply has been equal to
it. A few field-grown carnations have
appeared, but are of poor quality. Sin-
gle tuberose stalks have arrived, but
there is not the glut that is usual at this
time of the year. Valley continues
scarce. Other stock reaching the mar-
ket is made up of larkspurs, cornflow-
ers, calendulas, centaureas, candytuft,
stocks, snapdragons and auratum lilies.
Greens are plentiful.

Club Meeting.

The annual meeting of the St. Louis
Florists' Club was held August 9 on
board the harbor boat Erastus Wells.
Seventy-five members of the club were
the guests of Park Superintendent
Ernest Strehle.

President Jules Bourdet presided over
the meeting, which was held shortly
after the boat started. It being the
last meeting under the present regime,
committees made their final reports.
Chairman Windier of the committee in
charge of the outing reported that the
receipts covered all expenses. Chair-
man Smith made a report for the pub-
licity committee. The spring flower
show committee informed the club that
it had settled with the guarantors on
the basis of forty-five per cent. A
letter from John Young, secretary of
the S. A. F., regarding plans for the

National Flower Show was read. The
following made application for mem-
bership: George Waldbart, Fred Muller,
Joseph Witek and Fred J. Hermann.
The committee reported favorably on
the application of Arthur Beyer and his
election followed.

At tiiis point the boat stopped at the
Chain of Rocks and all on board in-
spected the City Nursery, guided by
Superintendent Strehle and John Mor-
itz. After the group had been photo-
graphed by A. B. Mclntyre, of the
Missouri Botanical Garden, the return
trip was started and the meeting re-
sumed.

The election of officers for the next
year resulted in the reflection of the
old officers, who were: President, Jules
Bourdet; vice-president, August Hum-
mert; secretary, J. J. Windier; treas-
urer, W. C. Smith; trustee for three
years, W. A. Rowe.

J. F. Ammann, of Edwardsville, 111.,
was present and responded to a request
for a talk by dealing interestingly with
club matters. The meeting then ad-
journed. The next regular meeting
will be held September 20, instead of
September 13. The invitation of Edwin
Denker to hold the meeting at his place
in St. Charles was accepted. Luncheon
was served on board the steamer. The
members gave a vote of thanks to
Superintendent Strehle and the city
park department for one of the most
enjoyable afternoons the club has had.

County Growers' Association was held
August 16 at Upper Creve Coeur lake.

The employees of the St. Louis Seed
Co. spent August 5 at Waterloo, 111., the
guests of the company. Automobiles
conveyed the party to the home of N. B.
Pantler, president of the company, at
Waterloo, where they had an enjoyable
time.

Mr. and Mrs. J. J. Windier left Au-
gust 11 for Dickey, Mo., with a party of

house facing South Grand avenue.

A large electric sign announcing the
National Flower Show is being erected
on the grounds where the temporary
building to house the show will be put
up.

Jules Bourdet, state vice-president of
the S. A. F., has secured twenty-seven
new members for that society, and ex-
pects to make the number thirty before

The Market.

Business with the retailers showed a
slight increase last week, there being
considerable funeral work. Stock is
coming in quantities sufficient for the
demand. Gladioli are abundant and all
the popular varieties are available.
Asters also are plentiful, and gaillardias
and bachelor's buttons are popular.
Roses are good now and lately there has
been a demand for American Beauties,
which sell at fair prices. Boston ferns
have been abundant and met a good call.
The weather, hot and dry, has had its
effect on outdoor stock, much of which
was lost by the growers.

Various Notes.

Local growers are busy getting their
stock ready for fall business.

The Sunshine Florists' store is being
redecorated and will present a fine ap-
pearance when the work is finished.
This store does an excellent business.
Funeral work has been heavy there this
summer.

The greenhouses recently constructed
by Carl Rosange and John Lindberg are
producing some fine stock. Excellent
sweet peas were cut there this summer.
They have another house under con-
struction. The range is strictly modern
and the firm has been doing a good
business. E. M. P.

NORTHAMPTON, MASS.

The regular meeting of the Holyoke
and Northampton Florists' and Gar-
deners' Club was held August 7 at
Florence, with F. D. Keyes & Son as
hosts. Arrangements were made for
the annual picnic, which has been
planned for August 29, at the Gallivan
Bros, farm, Smiths Ferry. E. J. Can-
ning gave a most instructive talk on
"Hardy Herbaceous Perennials," deal-
ing with the subject chiefly from the
commercial standpoint.

Harry Sinclair read a paper on "The
Lily Fields of Japan," and the meeting
adjourned at a late hour. H. E. D.

The Florists' Review

Adoust 16, 1917.

Seed Trade News

AMEBIOAN SEED TBASE ABSOOZATIOH.
President, F. W. Bolgiano, Waghlngton, D. 0.;
Secretary-Treasurer, C. B. Kendel. CleTeland, O.

There are indications that canna roots
will be scarce next winter.

The Harrisii bulbs are in, fine looking
stock, but the advance orders are ex-
tremely light.

This spring's shortage of gladiolus
bulbs surely will be repeated unless the
Holland growers can get their stock over.

Reports from California bulb growers
indicate that the crop of Freesia Purity
is turning out considerably below expecta-
tions.

The seed exporters in Denmark have
their troubles, but they seem to have a
greater degree of freedom than is given
the trade in any other European country.

Robert Livingston and Mrs. Living-
ston, of Columbus, O., passed through
Chicago August 14, on the way to
Seattle and other Pacific coast growing
stations.

To REPLACE the quantities of pansy
heretofore imported from Germany will
call for more seeds than are likely to re-
sult from the increased plantings and ex-
cellent crops of American growers.

The British government has exempted
from war service seedsmen's employees of
the classes who must be specially trained
or experienced, but not the ordinary run
of office, farm or warehouse employees.

French bulbs reached New York last
week and weekly arrivals are expected for
a month or more, as word has come of
many shipments now afloat. It seems
probable that all orders will be filled.

■ Late reports from Japan indicate some
shortage and the belated arrival of For-
mosa lily bulbs. The giganteums also will
be late, but the delay will be due to
the difficulty of securing steamer space.

The eleventh annual convention of the
National Canners' Association and its
allied associations will be held in Boston,
February 11 to 16, 1918. Headquarters
will be at the Copley Plaza hotel, with
the exhibition in Mechanics' building,
nearby.

Reports of irregularity in the germina
tion of seeds, while partly due to the un-
favorable weather, lead to the belief that
the seeds were from more than one
stock, quite possibly some old seed
mixed with tlie new to eke out the
supply.

There are 1,870 names of sweet peas
in the "Field Notes" of Lester L.
Morse, the 1916 edition of which re-
cently appeared. These names do not
represent so many distinct varieties by
any means, but are names that have been
given to a sweet pea by some dealer and
have appeared in some printed list, either
in America, Great Britain or Australia.

A LARGE part of the orders for Dutch
bulbs have been booked with the prices
open. Quotations now coming from Hol-
land indicate ideas of values there that
may prove something of a shock to grow-
ers here when they get their advices of
them. In jobbing quantities it is thought
florists may refuse quite a good many
bulbs when they see what they will have
to pay for them.

insurance policy.

THE VIIiMORIN MANAGEMENT.

In The Eeview of July 12 a notice
was printed of the death of Philippe de
Vilmorin, head of Vilmorin-Andrieux
& Co., Paris, probably the most widely
known seed house in the world. From
Eugene Schaettel, who is known person-
ally to many American seedsmen, comes
the following paragraph with regard to
the future management of the busi-
ness:

"The firm will continue unchanged
under the management of Jacques de
Vilmorin, son of Maurice de Vilmorin,
the late Henry de Vilmorin 's broth-
er, who has been associated with the
firm for a number of years; of Count de
Estienne, Philippe's brother-in-law,
who has been a partner in the business
for eighteen years; of A. Henry and E.
Schaettel. Louis de Vilmorin, who spent
some time in the United States before
the war and , on, account of his genial
character grew 80 popular there, will
soon enter the firm as an associate and
Vilmorin 's friends may rest assured
that the firm's motto will ever remain
as for nearly 200 years: Most scrupu-
lous honesty and straight and square
dealings. ' '

CATALOGUES NOT EXEMPTED.

A study of the text of the Senate
war revenue bill, not yet law and sub-
ject to many changes, fails to reveal
an exemption for catalogues in the mat-
ter of the stamp tax on parcel post ship-
ments. The paragraph relating to the
parcel post is as follows:

Parcpl post packages: Upon erery parcel or
package weighing more tlian four ounces trans-
ported from one point in tlie United States to
anotiier by parcel post, a tax of 1 cent for each
25 cents or fractional part thereof charged for
such transportation, to be paid by the consignor.

No such parcel or package shall be trans-
ported until a stamp or stamps representing the
tax due shall have been affixed thereto.

Otherwise there appears to be no change

With reference to the tax on cata-
logues W. F. Therkildson, chairman
of the Seed Trade Association's com-
mittee on postal affairs, writes:

"Referring to my telegram of Au-
gust 6, I am exceedingly sorry to re-
port that I was in error relative to the
amended revenue bill.

"In my first advice from Senator
Penrose he stated plainly that cata-
logues had been exempted and that all
other parcel post matter four ounces
and under was exempted. Thinking
that Senator Penrose had given me the
riglit information, I immediately wired
The Eeview that catalogues had been
exempted. Having received the amend-
ment clause, it shows plainly that the

The Florists^ Review

intent of the bill is to exempt cata-
logues of four ounces and under only.
This makes the amended bill not much
better than the original one.

"A direct effort should be made by
every member of the trade to have all
catalogues exempt. Please advise the
members to write to their senators and
representatives at once, advising that
the amendment is not satisfactory, that
all catalogues should be exempt regard-
less of weight. They are intended for
business getters and it is extremely un-
fair to tax an effort to get business. It
is a direct blow at business in the mak-
ing.

"I am sorry that my information
caused me to convey an erroneous im-
ptession, but I acted immediately upon
receipt of the information, which I felt
to be authentic, and as originally word-
ed the clause could be taken to mean
that catalogues were exempted. It is a
case of everyone getting busy and
showing that we are not satisfied with
the amendment. It must be a case of
fight for the exemption of all cata-
logues. No time should be lost by mem-
bers of the trade in writing their sena-
tors and representatives, saying that
the amendment as made does not meet
with their approval."

OANNERS' CROPS.

The U. S. Bureau of Crop Estimates
has received from a special list of can-
ners and growers of canners' crops, re-
ports relating to the condition August
1, 1917, as compared with August 1,
1916, of truck crops grown for canning
purposes. Correspondents were request-
ed to estimate the condition on the ba-
sis of 100 representing a normal condi-
tion. The results of the tabulation of

the replies are given below:

The condition of peas in Wisconsin is
shown as 78, in Michigan as 85 and in
New York as 70, all at least ten points
higher than in 1916.

CANARY ISLAND ONION SEED.

George K. Stiles, United States con-
sul at Teneriffe, Canary Islands, has
made the following report on the onion
seed crop there:

"The first picking of the onion seed
crop began in the islands of Teneriffe,
La Palma and Gomera June 10, and
constituted the principal export from
the archipelago to the United States.
Eeports from the growers tend to show
exceptionally good results, especially
as regards the yellow and red seed,
which is said to exist in abundance.

"The so-called white 'wax' seed ap-
pears to have suffered slightly from sun
scorch, or 'pasado,' as it is called by
growers. There seems no reason, how-
ever, to apprehend any inability to fill
orders. The 'secano,' or unirrigated
onion seed acreage, has done well, espe-
cially in La Palma island, where a well-
timed rainfall has brought out unusual
quantities of finely developed 'yellow'
and 'red.'

"Average contract prices are re-
ported as follows, per pound: Fancy
white wax, $1.25 to $1.50; yellow, 85
cents to 90 cents, and red, 80 cents.
Prices have stiffened considerably, due

must increase his prices this season in
American currency by from fifteen to
twenty per cent to collect in pesetas

tions in previous years.

It is a proved fact that, for profit and easy
doiDg. there is no greenhouse plant that will
equal good Snapdragon. They reauire very lit-
tle attention and seed sown now will yield con-
tinuous blooms from February until July,
giving a bumper crop at Memorial, the great
special flower day.

Start some seedlings today and be ready to
fill all empty space after mums are done. It is
far better and cheaper to grow your own plants.

and substance; many of the Immense flowers are from 3%- to 4-in.
It is a striking collection of beautiful colors and markinss, rich
with shades of red, brown, bronze, mahogany and many others too
numerous to mention. Light, Medium or Dark Mixtures.

GIANT KENIIiWOBTH SHOW. An extra fine strain of large flowers;
the immense flowers are of circular form and great substance. A
beautiful collection of colors and markings.

GIANT KENII.WOBTH CUT FLOWER MIXTURE. Is a distmci class
by itself, surpassing all other strains as a cut flower for Inside or
outside growing; the large flowers are carried erect above the
foliage on heavy stems, 7 or 8 In. long, in the most graceful man-
ner, and stand the hot. dry weather well.

GIANT MASTERPIECE. A remarkable type; the curled, wavy petals
giving the flower a double appearance; large flowers of great sub-
stance, on long, strong stem.

GIANT THREE AND FIVE BLOTCHED PANSIE8. A superb mix-
ture. Flowers large and of circular form and of great substance.
The displav of coloring is unsurpassed. A combination of alniost
every shade of rich, velvety colors: reds are particularly conspicu-
ous; the petals being distinctly marked with three or five large,
dark blotches.

<iIANT PARISIAN. The flowers are of enormous size and beautifully
marked, mo.stly five dark blotches on white and yellow ground; an
unusually showy mixture.

GIANT BRONZK. A fine mixture of all shades of velvety brown,
bronze. Havana brown, mahogany and copper shades.

TRIUMPH OF GIANT. Remarkably beautiful. The imposing five-
spotted flowers on long, vigorous stalks surmount the foliage m the
most grail tul manner, are of enormous size, perfectly round and
of unusuiil substance. The individual petals are very broad and
cover each other in such a manner as to make the flowers appear
almost double, the border of every petal being eonspicuously curled.
The plants are of a robust growth and form compact bushes of a
round shape.

10. KENILWORTH GIANT EXHIBITION is the very finest complete mixture ever
sent out. Seed carefully saved only from marked planU of the best varieties, vflth tne
largest and best shaped flowers and richest coloring. It is impossible to convey
an adequate idea of the delightful variations in color and markings of this un-
rivaled mixture. 500 seeds 80c. 1000 seeds 50c, M o*. $1.35, % oz. $2.50, oz.

New Early-flowering, or Winter Blooming ^S

An entirely new and distinct strain of Pansles The main advantage of these
new Pansles over all hitherto existing Pansles is the extreme earliness of flowering.
Bown at the same time as other Pansles, 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 Pansles are only showing buda. The flowers are large, well
formed and fragrant.

20. PRINCESS. (The New Upright Pansy.) This strain is entirely distinct from all
others. It is absolutely compact, upright growing. The flowers are mostly
blotched and frilled like the Masterpiece, of good form and heavy velvety tex-
ture on heavy stem carried well above the foliage. Attractive by brilliancy
of its colors.

40. GIANT BATH'S EMPRESS. The flnest of fancy English Pansles. Flowers are
very large, mostly frilled and blotched and of great substance and the colors
are brilliant and varied.

70. ORCHID-FLOWERED, Mixed. A dwarf,
free bloomer, with a range of delicate
colors that do not exist in any other
Pansles; a remarkable combination of
light rose, shell pink, blush mauve,
fawn, light brown, orange and chamois.

The Market.

Business in general during the last
week has about kept up to normal, but
that is all that can be said. There has
been a scarcity of stock, generally speak-
ing, and some orders consequently have
been turned down. The weather was
cool and the temperature showe'd a
marked drop below that of the previous
week. Vacations are in order and many
are taking it easy.

Carnations are about gone, although
there are some growers in this vicinity
who say they will not be out entirely
this season. New stock will not come
in for some time, as most of the estab-
lishments have just about finished
planting. Asters are coming more heav-
ily, however, and are in fine condition.
They are filling the carnation gap nicely
and are moving well. Eoses are arriv-
ing in better supply. The new cut is
beginning to come in and the stock is in
fine form. The increased supply is taken
up readily and clears daily at good
prices.

The supply of Easter lilies is not so
heavy as it has been and the market on
this stock is cleaning up much better.
Valley remains scarce and the quality
is hardly as good as it should be. There
are plenty of gladioli, and these play
no small part in the general business.
Fancy stock is selling well and bringing
good prices, but stock shipped in is not
moving so well, due to the fact that it
does not compare favorably with the
fresh local stock.

READING, PA.

Business continues fair, with a good
number of funeral orders evenly dis-
tributed among the stores. Asters are
uncommonly good in this section, some
of them the largest ever seen here.
Gladioli are in liberal supply and sell
well. The prices are good, with America
leading the lot. Building and repairs
occupy the attention of many, and
changes will be noted in the fall.

J. Stanley Giles, the popular presi-
dent of the Florists' Association, ac-
companied by Mrs. Giles, have been en-
joying a vacation at Atlantic City. The
Heck brothers are at the famous resort
and Mr. and Mrs. P. Blackman are
summering at their bungalow at Cedar
Hollow, near Moontown. Lee Arnold
and family are spending their vacation
near Ephrata, Pa.

The annual picnic of the Reading
Florists' Association will be held Aug-
ust 17 at the estate of F. Baer, near
Kutztown. The committee has spared
nothing to make the outing a big one.
Special cars have been chartered and a
band of fifty-six pieces will be present
ill day. The event in which most in-
terest is centered is the baseball game
between the Reading boys, captained by
J. S. Giles, and the Kutztown regulars.
However, there will be all the other

LOS ANGELES, CAL.

The Market.

A quiet week in the retail stores and
a slightly better shipping business
about sizes up the situation. Many of
the workers are either away on vaca-
tions or are awaiting their turn, while
the army draft is making things unset-
tled. Funeral work has been plentiful,
and there were a few wedding decora-
tions that helped to clean up stock.

The fragrant Amaryllis Belladonna is
in, large quantities of the earlier flow-
ers being sold. Asters are fairly good
and dahlias are at their best.

The new-crop carnations, both out-
door and greenhouse-grown, are an im-
provement on the blooms that have
been shipped of late, and there should
be little trouble with them now, unless
exceptionally hot weather comes. Cen-
taureas are excellent hot weather flow-
ers and met with a good demand. Eu-
brum, album and auratum lilies make a
fine showing and are helpful in the best
class of funeral work. Large quantities
of Golden Glow also serve to make a
good showing and are useful for decora-
tions.

A notable feature of the business is
the large quantity of supplies being or-
dered by out-of-town florists.

Various Notes.

Clarence Slinn and George W. Sie-
brecht, of West Twenty-eighth street.
New York, arrived in this city a few
days ago, having motored the whole dis-
tance.

The death of Joseph Sexton, pioneer
nurseryman of Goleta, near Santa Bar-
bara, is recorded in the obituary col-
umn this week.

S. Murata & Co. are handling large
quantities of the Belladonna lily this
season. Mrs. Cartwright, the book-
keeper here, has gone to San Francisco
for a two weeks ' vacation.

Albert Morris, of the Morris & Snow
Seed Co., is off to the wilds this week.
He and a few friends are going to the
Sierras for a week or two after the elu-
si 'e deer, bear or whatever else comes
along.

Paul Miller, of the L. A. Floral Co.,
has been drafted for service in the
army. Fred Sperry is improving slight-
ly in health, but will, he says, have to
undergo an operation before he gets
full relief.

Stanley Purdy, of the O. C. Saake
force, has returned from a trip to Bear
valley which he says was most enjoy-
able. To his credit it may be said that
his fish stories are reasonable to one
who knows the big lake.

Frank Lichtenberg reports business

fair, but most of it funeral work. Carl
Brose, of the staff here, has been draft-
ed for service. Mr. Lichtenberg is
speaking of a long automobile tour as
his vacation.

Hunter Graham, of the J. W. Welters
force, reports an enjoyable trip to Bear
lake in his new machine. C. D. Baker,
of Yuma, Ariz., is helping out until his
return to Yuma in October.

H. Reeve Darling is putting in a great
deal of his time at the beach now. J,
Ryerson, of the staff, has joined the
navy and Wallace Boyd has been draft-
ed for the army.

The California Cut Flower Co. is mak-
ing a fine display at the store on West
Seventh street. Some splendid auratum
lilies, artistically arranged, were a lead-
er this week. Several fine talking par-
rots are most attractive, especially to
women customers.

The Germain Seed & Plant Co. suf-
fered a loss through the burning of a
large stock of Sudan grass seed at the
ranch in the Imperial valley. A con-
siderable portion of this seed was al-
ready contracted for and it was only
partially insured.

Walter Armacost has returned from
his hunting trip in the high Sierras,
where he has been for several weeks.

Bert Harris, formerly of the Darling
force and previously with the American
Florist, is on a visit here. He is now
associated with B. M. Joseph, of San
Francisco.

Wright's Flower Shop is showing
some superb lotus, many of the new
varieties coming from the Sturtevant
ponds in Hollywood. Some fine fancy-
leaved caladiums are also being shown.

J. Dieterich reports that the repairs
to the Montebello greenhouses have
been completed and that the houses will
be in good shape for fall business.

H. R. Richards.

SAN FRANCISCO.

The Market.

Asters continue to increase in supply
and improve in quality from day to day.
The blooms are now of good size, the
colors in wide variety, all good, and the
stems all that can be desired. Heavy
shipments are being sent out of the
state and the local market absorbs its
share of -the daily offerings. Chrysan-
themums are following closely on the
asters. The first Golden Glow put in an
appearance this week. The growers
down the peninsula expect to begin cut-
ting Monrovia about August 20 and
October Frost about the same time. The
acreage is practically the same as last
year and the prospects are favorable for
a normal crop. No difficulty is being
experienced in cleaning up the early ar-
rivals at comparatively high prices,
Violets promise well also. They wUl
probably arrive quite freely by the end
of the month. A few scattering bunches
are coming in now, but not enough to
go around by any means. The first
amaryllis of the season is beginning to
arrive and the limited offerings are
readily absorbed. Zinnias have had a
long period of popularity, but interest
in them is beginning to wane. Gladioli
are plentiful and the demand leaves no
ground for complaint. The dahlias make
a wonderful showing, many of the
blooms being unusually large this sea-
son. A liberal supply of snapdragons
finds an outlet.

There is little to be said about roses.
American Beauties are a minus quan-
tity and other good roses are few and
far between. Ulrich Brunner roses, which
have been the mainstay for two or three
weeks, are beginning to get scarce and
deteriorate in quality. Ward and Red
Radiance average about the best now.

Various Notes.

Joseph Lagomarsino, one of the lead-
ing violet growers of California, has
sixteen acres planted to violets at
Colma, south of San Francisco, from

The Market.

August business so far has been satis-
factory, but the lack of rain has re-
sulted in a shortage of outdoor stock,
and asters, which usually can be
counted on for August, are of poor
quality. The recently j)lauted carna-
tions are in good form, but it seems that
not so many are being grown as last
year. The stock of pot plants for win-
ter sales appears to be short and not
far advanced. Many of the growers
have been busy stringing up the chrys-
anthemums, of which there will be an
ample supply when the time comes. Im-
provements, repairs and the acquisition
of fuel, aside from vacations, are the
order of the day.

Various Notes.

August Zitzewitz has recovered from
his three weeks of illness and has caught
up with his greenhouse work. His car-
nations, of which there are about 8,000,
are in fine condition. He has two houses
of mums, one of greens and a small one
of Christmas begonias. He reports that
trade during the last year has been
satisfactory, especially in the shipping
end of it.

Charles Betz is taking his vacation

Mr. Betz is going to use gas briquettes

W. G. W.

SPOKANE, WASH.

Weather conditions are more satis-
factory now, though it should be added
that we never have to endure the ex-
treme heat that the middle west does.
Seldom does the temperature register
100 degrees and the hot days are always
followed by cool, refreshing nights.

So far as we are able to learn, carna-
tion stock has been benched for at least
a month and is looking well. H. L.
Olsson was perhaps the last to plant,
having been delayed by reason of un-
finished buildings. The new range is a
model and will form a splendid nucleus
for the company's future operations.
From two to four more houses may be
added next year.

Stock is sufficient for most demands,
but it generally is of poor or medium
quality. Carnations are of usual sum-
mer grade; roses ditto. Hutchinson's
sweet peas are, as usual during the sum-
mer, the best in the market.

The Spokane Greenhouse Co. has been
supplying the town with rubrum lilies.
In this item the company has managed
to have almost the entire market to
itself.

Adolph Donart caught tlie market
with a fine cucumber eroj) and realized
a handsome profit. Higli prices, holding
for a longer period than usual, have
been a good thing for the vegetable
growers.

Bernson & Halle have had two houses
of cucumbers and tomatoes. These have
paid well tliis summer. Young carna-
tion stock is looking well. Particularly
is this true of Aviator, of which they
expect great things.

C. T. Kipp, of the Spokane Florist
Co., returned a few days ago from a
trip to Alaska. He says Alaska is a
great place for a vacation.

are plentiful, fine stock selling readily
at 50 to 75 cents per dozen. They have
a good call for table decorations and
make a showy window that takes well

HOW WHOLESALERS COULD HELP.

[Following are further extracts from an ad-
dress by M. R. Cashman, of Owatonna, Minn.,
delivered at the Philadelphia convention o* the
American Association of Nurserymen. In the
first portion of his address Mr. Casbman buk-
gested that the association establish a bureau for
the betterment of trade conditions between
wliolesalers and retailers. ]

One of the duties of the proposed
wholesalers' bureau would be to give
out information on many of the varie-
ties now being propagated. Many re-
tailers throughout the country are sell-
ing worthless varieties simply because
they do not know any better. These va-
rieties go to the planters and prove to
be a damage instead of a benefit. There
are hundreds of land-owners who at one
time have been ambitious to plant and
operate extensive commercial orchards,
but because they were sold worthless
varieties at the start they soon gave up
the idea, with a firm conviction that it
could not be made a success. This has
all been brought about through the fail-
ure of nurserymen to make a study of
conditions and to be prepared to fur-
nish the most valuable varieties that
would bring success to the planter. The
wholesalers' bureau in giving out in-
formation of this character, therefore,
could do a vast amount of good toward
the sale of nursery stock.

The bureau could also be a bureau of
publicity, and I want to say here that
the nursery business seems to be the last
industry to recognize the wonderful re-
sults derived from advertising. The
only publicity we have today in our
business is that done by the traveling
salesman and the few catalogues mailed
out by the mail-order houses. The pub-
licity committee undoubtedly has
covered this subject thoroughly, so I
simply call your attention to it.

Why Wholesale Prices to Everybody?

The wholesalers' bureau could also be
used as a means to suppress the perni-
cious practices indulged in by both the
wholesaler and retailer. One of these, j

nicious practice. • I believe if all nurser-
ies issuing wholesale lists could be
brought to realize that a wholesale list
placed in the hands of a planter, land-
scape gardener or park board is ruin-
ous to the trade, they would discontinue
the practice immediately. Cheap prices
do not sell goods, Ymt cheap prices are
the most effective weapons that I know
of to fight salesmen with. The whole-
salers should get together, study the
conditions and, as far as they are able,
remedy these evils. The wholesaler can-
not get along without the retailer and
the retailer will not be in the market
for stock unless he is able to dispose
of it through his salesmen.

How Wholesalers Kill Dealers' Trade.

Many retailers employ catalogues as
their salesmen to sell their stock, but I
am sure you will agree with me that the
greater part of the nursery stock sold
throughout the rural districts is dis-
posed of through traveling salesmen.
This being true, no one can question
that the traveling salesman is necessary
to maintain our trade, and it follows
that the salesman must be protected in
the territory wheie he is operating.
But one of our salesmen made the fol-
lowing report: "I called on a certain
prospect today and he asked me my

station, plus a reasonable commission
for tne salesman's work. The bids are
opened and it is found that some whole-
saler in Iowa, Illinois or New York has
quoted a price even lower than we could
buy the stock ourselves in carload lots.
Is this protection or encouragement to
a salesman, and, above all, what kind of
impression does it make on the public?
The result of this kind of competition is
that the order is placed with the whole-
saler.

Now, gentlemen, do you not think
that the wholesalers, through a central
bureau and through cooperation, could
remedy these practices? I am satis-
fied that they could, and I firmly be-
lieve that the retailers are entitled to
protection and encouragement from the
wholesalers. All we ask is that you
make wholesale prices only to those en-
gaged in the business, and if you wish
to sell at retail we offer no objection,
but we do want you to quote a price
no lower than we are compelled to ask
for the goods when we buy from you
and resell through our salesmen, who
receive a commission.

The Market.

The change to cool weather last week
had a favorable effect on business. The
demand was far greater than during the
whole month of July and the stores
were scenes of activity. Funeral work
is in the lead, counter trade shows a
great improvement and there are a few
good-sized weddings.

Tho quality of the cut flowers, botli
greenhouse-grown and outdoor stock,
has improved as a result of the cooler
weather. Gladioli are tlie leaders and
bring from $3 to $.■) per hundred. There
are a large number of lilies, the majority
of these selling at $8 per hundred.
Asters are plentiful and their quality
is good, the blooms bringing good re-
turns. Fine summer rosos wholesale
from $2 to $6 per hundred. These in-
clude Eussell, Ophelia, Shawyer and
Sunburst. Carnations are not to be
reckoned with.

Dahlias are coming into the market
in much larger quantities and there are
some fine oncidiums. Sweet peas are

Various Notes.

Frank Knecht has returned from a
several days' business trip to Detroit.
His daughter, Miss Martha Knecht, re-
turned last week from a two weeks' trip
on the great lakes to Mackinaw city
and Duluth. Some good summer \roses,
including Eussell, Shawyer, Ophelia and
Sunburst, are being cut daily af\ the
Knecht greenhouses.

The Doswell Floral Co. reports a
heavy run on funeral work, with a good
supply of gladioli, asters and roses to
meet the demand. G. W. Doswell has
just returned from a several weeks'
stay at St. Louis, where he visited his
daughter.

Mr. and Mrs. Edmund J. Lanternier
and family are spending two weeks at
Snow lake. Good summer stock is be-
ing displayed in the store of A. J.
Lanternier & Co.

Mr. and Mrs. W. J. Vesey, Jr., are
planning to attend the S. A. F. con-
vention at New York. Excellent roses,
lilies, asters and oncidiums are being
cut at the Vesey greenhouses. This firm
has made arrangements with E. C. Am-
ling Co., of Chicago, to handle its large
cut of orchids for the season, the first
shipment having been made last week.

Miss Marguerite Flick is spending
several weeks in Detroit. The Flick
Floral Co. had an exceedingly busy
week with funeral and wedding work>
A. M. Shive, manager of the green-
houses, has purchased a new runabout.

Convention, see our Mr. R. A. Vincent; he will be pleased to

Adiantum Farleyense Gloriosum

The Glory Fern

(Ruhm von Mordrecht)

This splendid Fern, which so closely resembles Adiantum Far-
leyense in appearance and which does not reauire the special skill
and care in growing that is necessary to produce good plants of A.
Farleyense, has auickly made a place for itself not only on account
of the fact that it can be produced for little over half that of grow-
ing Farleyense, but also because either in a cut state or as plants
used in decorative work, it will outlast the old variety ten to one,
making it an available subject where Farleyense cannot be used at
all. Since its introduction some five or six years ago there has
never been a supply large enough to meet the demand.

Pteris Childsi

This'beautiful variety is to Pteris what Farleyense is to?Adian-
tums. and like that variety produces no spore, so that propagation
is by the rather slow method of division, which will keep it a rare
variety. The plant is of strong growth, attaining a height of about
20 inches; fronds large, pinmr deeply dentated and undulated; tips
crested. Makes a beautiful specimen for exhibition.

Fine plants, 5- inch pots. 76c each.

We extend a cordial invitation to all delegates of the S. A. F.
& O. H- to visit our Nurseries at Riverton, N. J., on their way

Greenhouse Heating.

Subscribers are invited to write the
Editor of this Department with regard to
any details of greenhouse heating that
are not understood. But please do not
ask The Eeview to make k 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 HOUSES, WITH SOLID BEDS.

Please advise me about the installa-
tion of a heating system in my two new
greenhouses, each 28%xl00. I wish to
have most of the pipes around the walls
and overhead, as the beds will all be
solid. If I use steam, can I bring all
the return back from the opposite end
of the greenhouses through one line?
If so, how many 1^4 -inch pipes and
what size of return will be needed for
each house? The side walls are six feet
high; half of this height is glass and the
other half weather boarding. I wish
to be able to keep a temperature of 60
degrees. Sometimes the outside temper-
ature here drops to 10 degrees below
zero. If I install a hot water system,
how many 2-inch returns will be needed
in each house and what size of flows?
Which system would you recommend, hot
water or steam, considering the present
price of pipe? A. E. M. — Okla.

So far as the arrangement of the pip-
ing is concerned, we can see no reason
why steam heat cannot be used for the
two houses described. For a single
house of this size we generally prefer a
hot water system, since it requires less
attention. For the two houses, consid-
ering the present cost of pipe, we would
suggest the use of steam.

To heat with steam we would use, in
each house, one 2V2-inch overhead main
and fourteen l^A-inch returns, in two
coils on the side walls. The main flow
pipe should be 3-inch, unless the flow
pipe in each house can be readily con-
nected with the boiler. We would use a
114-inch return for each coil, and a 1^/^-

inch pipe for the main return. In case
hot water is used, we would put iu
3-inch flow pipes on the- plates in each

USE A DOWNHILL SYSTEM.

Please tell me how to pipe my green-
house for hot water heat. The crop will
be carnations and the temperature
needed will be 45 to 55 degrees. The
house is 21x31, six feet high to the
eaves and twelve feet to the ridge. The
foundations are concrete. The house
contains 1,200 square feet of glass. It
will require about 350 square feet of
radiation, will it not? There is a raised
bench in the center and a 3-foot bench
at each side wall. The hpuse runs north
and south and the boiler loom is at the
north end.

My understanding is that the highest
point of the flow may be either over the

with the flow, or flows, would be ten
2-inch returns, five of them on each side
wall, under the benches. Could I at-
tach two 2-inch flows to a Wilks boiler,
24x48? I think this boiler has only
one outlet. V. K. — Kan.

For a Wilks boiler we would use a
3-inch flow pipe, running it about two
feet below the ridge, with the highest
point over the boiler. A slope of one
inch in ten feet will be ample. When
a boiler with two flow ports is used we
would, for a house of the stated size
and width, run a 2% -inch flow pipe upon
each plate or under the purlins. While
a radiation of 350 square feet is not too
large to be supplied by two 24nch flow
pipes, the number of returns necessary
will make it advisable to use two 2%-
inch flows, unless a single 3-inch flow
is used.

From the amount of glass stated, we
infer that there must be about thirty
inches of glass below the plates. If a
minimum temperature of 55 degrees is
necessary in the coldest weather, it will
be advisable to use 350 square feet of
radiation, but if it will answer if the
temperature drops to 50 degrees in the
nights when it drops below zero out-
side, 300 square feet of radiation will
answer.

Instead of running the returns along
the side walls only, we would drop down
two 21/' -inch pipes from the end of the
3-inch overhead flow pipe, and with
each of them feed a coil of five 2-inch
flow pipes running each way from the
middle of the end of the house to the
corners, and then along the side walls,
or under the side benches, back to the
boiler. It will be found satisfactory to
use li/l>-inch returns in a house of this
length, and in that case twelve returns
will be needed.

able stock. Gladioli are abundant and
sell at from $1 to $3 per hundred. Niag-
ara, Mrs. Francis King and America are
in greatest demand, but other good va-
rieties are plentiful. Outdoor carna-
tions are in the market, but they are of
poor quality. Good quality asters, how-
ever, are taking their places. Harrisii
lilies are plentiful, with practically no
demand. Good sweet peas are short of
the demand. Short-stemmed stock is
plentiful. Giant zinnias of every color
are plentiful. Eubrum and auratum
lilies are in good supply.

Of the roses Maryland is about the
only one of good quality. Ophelia is
poor and Eussell is off crop. Yellow
roses are of poor quality. There are a
few good dahlias. Phloxes and snap-
dragons are plentiful. Some good co-
reopsis, gaillardias and achilleas are
seen. Early hardy chrysanthemums are
making their appearance. There are
quantities of other seasonable stock.
Smilax and asparagus are plentiful.

Various Notes.

Miss Ethel Foster is spending two

ing, Pa.

We are usually too busy to give
testimonials, but most of us like to
receive commendation for our goods,
and we thought you would not ob-
ject to a line from us in that direc-
tion. We have in front of our store
a large marquee with a wired glass
top. The latter has been extremely
dirty, and we have not been able to
clean it with water. It occurred to
the writer to have our Dorter make
an application of Andersen Daylite
Glass Cleaner, and it is almost un-
believable what a difference there
is! The glass is now as if it were
new, and we have fully
75 per cent more light.

[Oontinued from page 65.]

reports an excellent demand. This firm
is doing its bit in helping along the" war
cause, having donated flowers and serv-
ices to a benefit for the Masonic ambu-
lance corps. They made up little French
bouquets, corsages, etc., to sell for 5 and
10 cents, and took in nearly $200. For
his vacation Mr. Bertrand planned to
go on a Shriner outing in the Feather
river country.

Julius Eppstein, proprietor of the
flower stand in the St. Francis hotel,
has had to postpone his trip east on ac-
count of a broken foot. He slipped on
the stairs and threw all his weight on
his left foot in order to keep from fall-
ing. Not realizing that he had broken
one of the small bones, he walked
around the rest of the day and danced
that evening. Next day the broken
bone was revealed by an X-ray, and Mr.
Eppstein is now confined to his room in
the hotel with his foot in a cast. He
says business holds up well, especially
in funeral work.

Francis Schlotzhauer, of the Francis
Floral Co., who made a specialty of dec-
orative work in New York city before
coming to San Francisco, is beginning
to develop that side of his business here
and is well satisfied with the results.
He has done many wedding decorations
this spring and summer and has a num-
ber booked for the early fall.

Pelicano, Rossi & Co. haye been mak-
ing a special exhibit of Frank Peli-
cano's new decorative dahlia, Dr. Harry
L. Tevis, the blooms of which average
from nine to eleven inches in diameter
and are a soft salmon-rose, shading to
an apricot center. Mr. Pelicano is bring-
ing in some nice tuberous begonias. A.
J. Eossi is still at Santa Barbara.

Mrs. Charles Gutting, of Los An-
geles, Cal., has been visiting in this city.

A. M. Meyer, dahlia grower at 147
Twenty-sixth avenue, San Francisco,
has a new seedling which will be exhib-
ited at the coming dahlia shows. He
was awarded seventy points on it at the
preliminary show at the Palace hotel.
It has a splendid color and a fine, strong
stem.

DAVENPORT, B. ISLAND, MOUNE.

The Market.

Trade was quiet last week. Boses are
good, although short of stem, with Beau-
ties now available. Lilies are plentiful
enough to supply the trade. Gladioli
are of fine quality and numerous, but
asters have been poor. They sell fairly
well, however, owing to the shortage of
other flowers. As a whole, flowers are
scarce, a condition attributed to the dry
weather.

Club Meeting.

The members of the Tri-City Florists *
Club left Davenport, Thursday, August
9, in a special car for Muscatine, on
the invitation of Emil Kranz. There
We're thirty-six members in the party,
and it proved to be the most enjoyable
trip ever taken by the club. Upon ar-
rival at Muscatine the party was met'
by Mr. Kranz and Mayor E. C. McNutt,
who had automobiles waiting, and was
taken for a tour of the Island, visiting
the waterworks, greenhouses and other
points of interest. On the return to the
German Club house, Mr. and Mrs. Kranz
invited the members of the club to par-
take of supper. C. O. E. Boehm acted
as toastmaster of the evening and intro-
duced the various speakers with suitable
remarks. Mayor McNutt was the first
speaker and gave an address of wel-
come. He was presented with a huge
bouquet of gladioli from the Butter-
worth Gardens, of Moline, by Arvid
Anderson, president of the society, who
was the next speaker. He was followed
by Ludwig Stapp, Emil Kranz, William
Knees, William Goos and C. J. Reardon.

A vote of thanks was given Mr. and
Mrs. Emil Kranz for the splendid sup-
per and the good time. After the din-
ner, music and dancing were indulged
in, and were followed by a few selec-
tions by a society of twenty singers
and a whistling solo by one of its mem-
bers.

A short business meeting was held
and the party left for home at 10
o'clock, sorry to leave so soon.

INDIANAPOLIS, IND.

The Market.

Business during the first part of Au-
gust has been exceptionally good. There
has been a good supply of stock and the
call for it has been fairly active. Eoses
have improved in quality, and since the
weather has been cooler there has been
a better demand for them. Asters are
abundant and are of better quality.
The supply of gladioli has decreased, as
has the quantity of lilies, with the ex-
ception of rubrums, which are plentiful.

Snapdragons, which have been abun-
dant and of good quality, now are in
smaller supply and are not so good. Cut
hydrangeas are popular, especially for
funeral work. Statice latifolia also is
in demand for this class of work, which
has been unusually heavy. Smilax is
more plentiful, plumosus is in fair sup-
ply and fancy flat ferns are especially
good. Various Notes.

Charles M. Balluff, of A. Wiegand's
Sons Co., has returned from a month's
vacation spent at Fox Lake, 111.

Albert Kempe has been cutting some
excellent smilax.

Henry Eisner has returned from St.
Louis, Mo., where he went to take his
physical examination for the army, and
is visiting his parents for a few days.

The Hensley Flower Shop had several
out-of-town weddings last week.

Banquets to the new oflBcers of the
army who received their commissions
at Fort Benjamin Harrison brought
considerable work to the florists. Ber-
termann Bros. Co., the Claypool Florist
and the Circle Flower Store all had
decorations last week.

Frank Ball has gone to Cincinnati,
where he has taken a position.

Walter and Irwin Bertermann, A. F.
J. Baur and John Grande, Sr., will repre-
sent Indianapolis at the S. A. F. con-
vention next week. E. E. T.

Wellington, Kan. — Every summer for
several years W. M. Shanks has added a
new house to his range, but this summer
the program was somewhat longer, the
improvements including a $4,000 resi-
dence, a boiler shed and new boilers.

The quality is exceptionally good this season and the ad-

flowers are cut, graded and kept chilled until the customer
receives them, together with prices no higher than others

CONCORD Spencer types

The Concord Varieties of Winter-flowering
Spencer Sweet Peas are perhaps the most
advanced and finest of all. The colors are
distinct, clear and true. They flower earlier
than any other type, and the blossoms are
of large Spencer form, with long stems.
Unfortunately they are shy seeders and.
therefore, the seed is scarce and expensive
We are obliged to offer in packets only
this year.

Prices, any of the following:

Pkt. (50 seeds). 40c; 5 pkts., $1.75.

Concord Pink, beautiful delicate pink.
Concord Crimson, fine ruby red.
Concord Lavender, light lavender blue.
Concord White, large, pure white.
Concord Salmon, soft salmon pink.
Concord Blue, dark purple blue.

We have on hand fresh seed of Giant Flowered Cyclamen in all popular colors,
also Primula, Cineraria, Calceolaria; Perennial Flower Seeds for summer sow-
ing and Annuals for winter flowering under glass.

SIN'S HYBRID YELLOW POLYANTHUS

Tl'a'is is one of my houses. 20.x:?00 feel, of National Flower Show Gold Medal Polyanthus.
These ha\e been in bloom constantly since November.

I had two houses of Giant Yellow
Polyanthus in full crop at Kaster.
A Review correspondent saw them
March 31st and wrote:

"They include some beautiful varieties,
which are beitiK carefully marked and
saved for propagation. One bed :'.00 feet
long, of a pale jellow polyanthus, true to
type iu every plant, was particularly
tine. 1 measured individual llowers 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.

How mechanical bracing
restores strength to decayed trees

THE internal woody tissue of the tree
has the same fiiuclion as the liones in
tlie human body — structural support.

When this has been destroyed l>y decay,
Nature is helpless to restore it and the
tree, if neglected, u ill soon succumb to the
force of the winds, and im treatment can

perinaiiPnt l.v sa\c it unless that treat iiient .siiu-
l)lio- seiciilificilly the str<'iiKth that lia.s IjRen

The tree in photograph No. .'! required

a combination of bolts and t'risscross bolts

The tree in photograph No. 1 was so

It is very doubtful if you will find a finer lot of Boston Ferns than is offered in this lot.

Each plant is fine, large and well proportioned.

The foliage is a rich, healthy green color. Extra care was given to growing this par-
ticular lot to make each plant a bargain at the price asked.

You will find that these plants will find a ready sale in your locality.

The Florists^ Review

August 23, 1917.

Bronx park is itself an attraction to
trade visitors, and plantings there must
be splendid advertising to reach the pub-
lic, but for an impression on those who
attend the convention it has not since
been possible to duplicate the location
and success which attended Theodore
Wirth's work at Minneapolis, Next
year, at St. Louis, with the convention
in April, there can be no garden, except
the indoor ones at the National Flower
Show, so two years will be given for the
development of the next outdoor garden,
which probably will determine the
future of that undertaking.

The Talk of the Trade.

The talk in the Palace and wher-
ever florists gather is, first of all, of the
success of the convention — it seems to
have exceeded expectations. It has be-
come common knowledge that there was
discussion as to the advisability of
canceling the convention itself for this
year, as well as cutting out the enter-
tainment program, and that the deciding
factor probably was the lease of the
Palace. With this fact in mind, the
consensus is that the convention is bet-
ter than was hoped, in attendance, in
trades' display and in every other fea-
ture, for certainly no one who foresaw
this week's accomplishments would
have suggested abandoning the meet-
ing. It might have been considerably
larger had the United St|k|je^ stayed out
of the war, but the cbnventiQO. im-
presses everyone as bcitter than some
others that have been called thoroughly
successful.

It seems to be taken for granted that
business since Easter has not been up to
previous expectations; there are excep-
tions, of course, but in most cases the
edge has been off. Apparently this
country's entering the war has dis-
turbed the florists' business in the east
much more than in the west; in the
cities much more than in the towns and
country; in the stores patronized by
those who spend incomes much more
than in tliose that cater to the people
who spend wages. The country florist
already has the benefit of high prices
for produce, but the city florist has not
yet felt the stimulus of the govern-
ment 's expenditure of fabulous sums.

The attitude indicated by the major-
ity is one of waiting, waiting for some-
thing to start the business ball rolling
for the trade. There is no doubt that
retail business will be good, perhaps ex-
cellent. The growers, selling at whole-
sale, are less sanguine; they fear the
shortage of labor and the rising cost of
conducting the business. Nearly all
now arc convinced that it is necessary
to buy coal when and wlure it can be
had, witliout waiting longer in the hope
of lower ])rifcs.

The Convention Program.

Tiie set })r()gram for the convention
is much shorter than usual. That of
the S. A. V. itself covers only three
days instead of four, but the American
Gladiolus Society has claimed the
fourtli liay, usually given to the outing.
There arc no evening sessions, only the
president's reception, so that plenty of
time is given for the trades' display,
for the points of trade interest and for
absorbing enthusiasm from rubbing el-
bows with the people of the most won-
derful city in America.

The program by days shapes up in
this way:

MONDAY, AUGUST 20.

10:00 a. m. Annual meeting Florists' Hail As-
sociation, at Newarl£, N. J.
SfOft p. m. Public meeting of committee ou
Credits and Collections Bureau.

cietj.
THURSDAY, AUGUST 23.

10:00 a. m. Session S. A. F. and election of of-
ficers.
11:00 a. m. Meeting American Rose Society.
2:00 p. m. Final session S. A. F.

FRIDAY, AUGUST 24.

2:00 p. m. Annual meeting American Gladio-
lui Society, Museum building,
^ bIIIdx parl£.

The program was barren of essays,
set speeches and the things that fail
to hold the crowd; it was planned with
the idea of getting full, free and un-
hurried discussion of the problems
which confront the society and the
trade. In that it succeeded.

Business Is Begun.

It was a hot day when the convention
assembled, and a pneumatic riveting
machine on a new building adjoining
the Grand Central Palace was indefat-
igable, so that the 150 to 200 members
and ladies who were present when the
meeting was called to order by Presi-
dent Stumpp of the New York Florists'
Club found the routine proceedings s(|s-
sion less attractive than otherwise
would have been the case. It is a pity
that so much dry routine must be dis-
patched at the opening session, for the
attendance then always is larger than
at any subsequent time.

There were ten ex-presidents ou the
platform at the opening session.

President Stumpp spoke a few words
of greeting and introduced A. L. Miller,
vice-president of the S. A. F., to present
the welcome of the local organization.
He was followed by a representative of
the municipal administration, who pre-
sented the keys to the city in time-hon-
ored style. But the speaker made a
place for himself in the regard of the
society when he declared that flowers
are not a luxury, but a necessity, meet-
ing a need of the people on the finer
side of life. He added that during the
last few years the city government has
spent a million dollars in fostering
among the masses an appreciation of
flowers.

Robert Craig, of Philadelphia, re-
sponded, saying, among other things,
that the trade has been too modest and
lias not claimed its proper ])lace in the
business world; that we now are in a
])osition to assert our standing as one
of the large and necessary interests of
the country. He predicted continued
jirogress.

President Kerr, on taking the chair,
read his annual address, which appears
in full in this issue of The Review. It
was referred to the special committee.

Because of the heat and noise, the
reading of the minutes of the directors'
March meeting, the reports of state
vice-presidents and the secretary's
financial statement were omitted, the
documents })eing ordered printed. The
secretary 's reporl and the treasurer's
report were read and accepte<l.

W. V. Gudc, of Washington, pre-
sented the rej)orts of the Washington

representative, the committee on tariff
and legislation and the committee on
the Smith memorial, which appear else-
where in this issue.

Appropriation for Nomenclature.

Prof. E. A. White, of Ithaca, pre-
sented the report of the committee on
nomenclature, telling of the work that
has been done to standardize plant
names by other horticultural bodies
working under the name of American
Joint Committee on Horticultural No-
menclature. He asked that an appro-
priation of $300 be made for the use
of this joint committee and that the
S. A, F. thus indorse its action. The
motion was carried without discussion.

Benjamin Hammond presented the
report of the school garden committee.

Charles W. Ward sent word from Cal-
ifornia that he would have a report for
the committee on the development of
American products and asked the privi-
lege of having it printed ^h the pro-
ceedings if not received in time to be
read at the convention.

President's Appointments.

President Kerr appointed the follow-
ing committees:

FINAL RESOLUTIONS.

Patrick Welch, Boston.
George Asmus, Chicago.
0. E. Critchell, Cincinnati.
H. P. Knoble, Cleveland.
Joseph Heacock, Wyncote, Pa.

RESOLUTIONS OF RESPECT TO MEMBERS
WHO HAVE DIED SINCE LAST YEAR.

J. G. Esler, Saddle River, N. .T.

M. Barker, Chicago.

J. A. Peterson, Cincinnati.

Detroit in 1919.

It was already determined that next
year's convention is to be held at St.
Louis, in April, during the National
Flower Show, but the 1919 meeting
place had to be selected, the by-laws
now requiring that the selection be
made two years in advance. As no
invitations were received, George As-
mus moved that the society invite itself
to Detroit two years hence and enter-
tain itself there. It was carried unani-
mously.

As the meeting was about to adjourn,
.7. F. Ammann, of Edwardsville, 111.,
pointed to the flags above the platform
and suggested that the .society sing
"America," after which W. F. Gude
moved that the organization go on rec-
ord in a telegram as follows:

To His Excellency Woodrow Wilson,

President of the United States,
Washington, D. C. :

The Society of American Florists. In thirty-
third annual convention assembled at New York,
transmits to you Its resolution by unanimous
vote expressing its confidence in you as the na-
tion's head in tliis hour of deciding conflict for
freedom, democracy and rule of the people, by
tlie people, for the people, pledging you the loyal
support of its entire membership to this end.

The telegram was signed for the so-
ciety by R. C. Kerr, president, and John
Young, secretary.

Society Safe for Democracy.

Once more the attempt ' ' to take the
secretary's oflice out of trade politics"
has failed. It no doubt is true that the
present form of society government,
with most of the responsibility put upon
the board of directors, in theory calls
for making the secretary an appointed
officer, named by and responsible to the
board, but the idea does not appeal to
a majority of the members. Several
times amendments to the constitution to
effect this change have been brought

AUGUST 23, 1917.

up and voted down. It occurred again
this week at New York,

The program called for the discus-
sion of the amendment at the opening
session, with a vote by ballot during
the evening. George Asmus advocated
the change, but all the others opposed
it, among them W. A. Manda, Max
Schling, J. T. D. Fulmer and Patrick
O'Mara. When the ballots were count-
ed the vote stood forty-seven for mak-
ing the secretary an appointed clerk
and ninety-four for continuing him as
an oflftcer elected by the members.

President's Beception.

One of the novel features of this
convention was the holding of the an-
nual president's reception in the same
room in which the trade's display is
staged. One end of this great building
was swept clear for the purpose, and
the juxtaposition added much to the
interest of the affair.

President Stumpp, of the local club,
President Kerr, Vice-president Miller,
Treasurer Hess and several ladies -were
in the line and greeted each visitor,
after which refreshments were served,
and there were music and dancing. It
was purely informal.

Nomination of Officers.

Seldom, if ever, has the S. A. F. held
a more interesting session than the one
on the morning of August 22. The
weather was cooler, the meeting place
had been changed to the other side of
the Grand Central Palace to avoid the
outside noise that had given trouble at
the earlier session, and the attendance
was undoubtedly the largest that ever
has been known at a second day 's meet-
ing. Oratory was in order, and in nom-
inating officers eulogy of candidates
was mixed with just enough plain talk
to indicate that the election contest
will be one of the closest in the history
of the society and will keep the inter-
est alive to the end.

For president, Charles H. Totty, of
Madison, N. J., was nominated by
W. F. Gude, seconded by F. E. Pierson,
Robert Craig, E. G. Hill, Patrick Welch
and Otto Lang. A. L. Miller, of Ja-
maica, N. Y., was nominated by James
McHutchison, W. E. Pierson and Anton
Schultheis.

For vice-president, Jules Bourdet, of
St. Louis, was nominated by Frank
Gorly, on behalf of the St. Louis Flo-
rists' Club.

For secretary, John Young, of New
York, was nominated amid much ap-
plause.

For treasurer, J. J. Hess, of Omaha,
was nominated and seconded by J. T. D.
Fulmer.

For directors, Joseph Manda, of
South Orange, N. J., was nominated by
George Asmus, and C. E. Critchell, of
Cincinnati, was nominated by Patrick
Welch, two to be elected.

Wind Storm Insurance.

The special committee consisting of
A. Easmussen, E. G. Hill and J. F.
Ammann, appointed to investigate the
subject of wind storm insurance, pre-
sented the following report:

Inasmuch as the State Florists' Asso-
ciation of Indiana is working to form a
mutual company among the florists and
greenhousemen of the United States for
protection against damage from wind
and hail, to be known as the Florists'
Mutual Casualty Association, Inc., and

Jules Bourdet.

(Vk-e-|)ie8l(lent-el('Ct Sot-lety of Anioricaii Florists. J

in view of the fact that this committee
has not suflBcient data on the progress
or plan of this proposed movement at
this time to recommend an indorsement
of it by the S. A. F., your committee
would recommend that a committee be
appointed to investigate the Indiana
project and to report to the board of
directors at their next regular meeting,
said committee to be made up of men
not officially connected with the Flo-
rists' Hail Association, or with the
movement started in Indiana.

In order to give all sections of the
country representation, we suggest that
committeemen be appointed accord-
ingly, and their traveling expenses be
paid by the S. A. F. We further recom-
mend that this committee, in conjunc-
tion with the board of directors, be
given authority to indorse the Florists'
Mutual Casualty Association, should it
deem it worthy of the support of the
S. A. F.

Mr. Easmussen then reported indi-
vidually on the progress of the move-
ment in Indiana, most of the details of
which are familiar to readers of The
Eeview, after which the report of the
committee was unanimously adopted.

Publicity and Prosperity.

The afternoon session of August 22
was devoted to the discussion of pub-
licity and prosperity. The subject of
publicity was introduced by W. F.
Therkildson, chairman of the standing
committee of that subject, and the re-
lated topic of the state of business and
the prospect for continued prosperity
was brought up by Robert Craig, to
whom had been assigned the duty of

giving a view of the future. Prac-
tically everyone who spoke was highly
optimistic as to the business outlook
for the approaching season.

$50,000 for PubUcity.

W. F. Therkildson presented a com-
plete plan for a campaign of national
publicity for flowers, with details
worked out to show a cost of $50,000.
It looked so good that the committee
was authorized to raise the funds and
put the plan into operation. Joseph
Heacock headed the subscription list
with $500, and in a few minutes and
with great enthusiasm about $(5,000 of
the money was raised, to which the
S. A. F. will subscribe $5,000 from its
treasury. It was the general opinion
that it was the most important step the
organization ever took.

THE HAIL ASSOCIATION.

The Florists' Hail Association held
a highly important meeting at Newark,
N. J., August 20. By putting it the
day before the S. A. F. convention it
was hoped to secure a fairly large at-
tendance, but only about a dozen of
the 1,621 members were present. All
the officers and four directors were
there.

The chief business was in connection
with renewing the charter of the or-
ganization under the laws of New Jer-
sey. All the formalities have been com-
plied with, so that the legal life of the
organization, formed in 1887, is ex-
tended another thirty years. New by-
laws, drafted by J. A. Valentine, were
adopted with minor amendment, so

THE TRADES' DISPLAY AT NEW YORK

^W^f^^?^^^^?i^^?^^w?^^:^;^??i^^?i^^

Til \] (■uiiililidiis ]ia\t' lircii s(i iin-
usunl tills year that Sfcrt'tarv
^'^un.^. as iiiana^itT el' tin' traiics' dis-
|ilav, has had a iiKiri' dif'ticiilt task than
i'\iT hrfdit'. l*]xliihit(iis have licrii slow
t(i make ii|i their minds and many of
thiui ha\t' increased or doereast'd tlieir
s|iac('s durinj;- the last days before stajj;-
in;^. l)ut(di l>uli)s not Ixdnj; available
as hail been hoped was one of tlie jtriii-
(•i|iai reasons for tiiis and the seeds-
men 's displays are smaller than hereto-
fore at eastern conx cntions, bein>; lim-
ited to a few Frencii bnil>s, Jlarrisii
lilies and e(dil storage giganteiims. The
supply liouses have taken full advan-
ta.nc of tiie o])portnnity. It really is the
tirst good elianee they have had in four
years, as their imjiorls did not arrive
for the Boston convention in 1!»14 and
the W)!'^ and 1!U(5 meetings were too
far awav from the big supi)ly centers
to ]ierniit a full showing. Xow, how-
ever, tlie su|)idy houses have developed
American manufacture to a point never
attained with foreign goods and their
<lisplays arc the strong feature of the
convention exhibition. The plantsmen,
too, make splendid displays, some of
them large in size and all of them of
splendiil <piality. Considering that this
is commeiiial stock, it is open to (pies-
tiou if su(li uuit'ormly good stutT has
lieen seiMi at any ]irevious convention.
Tlie greenhouse builders also have come
to the front with large and comprehen-
sive exhibits.

There are an even half-hundred trade
exhibitors. The total sj.ace used is
4,(1(10 square feet. Com])arisons some-
times ;ire said to be odious, but the man
who could not see it for himself per-
haps will get a (dearer idea if he is
t(dd that this is a little less than the
space sold f(M- the trades' <lisplay at the
Boston convention and a little more than
h.-ilf what was s(dd in the Chicago C(di-
seum I'or the record coii\entinn (d' 1!(12.

On the whole it is a large, cdniiirehen-
si\c ;iiid widl staged exhildt imi. Those
wlm ha\t' di>id;iys are:

American Greenhouse Mfg. Co.,
Chicago.

This booth contain^ enlarged, framed
l)hotogra)dis of some ot' the greenhouses
the exhiliitor li.a- luiilt in tlie miildle
We•^t. nnt.ably the I'ecellt additions to
the (lullett establishment ;it bincolii.

show the details of the const lUct ion.

H. Bayersdorfer & Co., Philadelphia.

There is iiractically a <-omidete stock
of llorists' supplies in this space of H()()
scpiare feet of floor with two walls, the
latter covered with wreaths. The
stront: leader is the red, wliite and blue

line ol' \ases an<l plant boxes, which is
said to have had perhaps the largest
sale of any specialty the house ever has
jiut out. Quite different in character,
but also a big seller, is the crcton line,
a variety of baskets and vases the
bodies of which are covered with va-
rious colored cretoiis. Something en-
tirely new is a line of baskets made of
cornstalks; these are said to have been
a great liit with the florist wlio hereto-
fore has had the exclusive sale. The
exhibit is in charge of S. H. Bayers-
dorfer, I, 15ayersdorfer, 8. D. Green,
.F(din Welsh and Robert Collum.

Bobbink & Atkins, Rutherford, N. J.

There are four fine big bays at the
corners of this group, which includes
Draca'iia indivisa, ferns in variety,
Ficus elastica and otlier jiot plants for
retail .stores. Leo Oesternei is in
(diig-ge.

Chicago Feed & Fertilizer Co.

The display included large glass
globes, etc., tilled with samples of the
exhibitor's full line of commercial fer-
tilizers. The souvenir was a record
book for the use of growers. There
were feeding eh.arts and other litera-
ture. H. E. llumiston was in charge.

John Lewis Cliilds, Flowerfield, N. Y.

The j)rinuilinus hybrids are featured
in this dis|d;iy of cut gladiolus Idooms,
hut it also cont.ains many (d' the Childsii
ty|>e. There are about thirty-five va-
rieties in the collection, a commercial
sidection. 1. S. H(>ndri(d<son is in
ch.arge, assisted liy Carleton Childs, son
of Jolin Lewis Childs, who this year is
forming his first business actpiaintance
with gla<ii(di.

Robt. Craig Co., Philadelphia.

This is a disjilay of' ])lants of more
than ordinary (diar.acter. It contains
crotons of 12." Aurieties, several ])ieces
l>{ each of m;iny id" them, incduding
some Large jdants. But the number and
ipiality (d' the ]ilaiits are not nuir(^ nota-
I'h' th.an is the fact that nearly all ari'
seedlings r.aised in the; Craig green
houses. The Norwood fern, another
Cr.aig novelty, also is shown in quan-
tity, in from biiich to (bincli ]>ots. Some-
thing new to nmst of the visit<irs is a
\;niegatetl piiieai'ple in fruit. OtluM-

This w;is a disjiLay of cut asters aTid
everlastifigs, the asters in several va-
rieties being in surprisingly fine shape
considering thtdr journey across the
continent. In charge was C. H. (ioocli.

Henry A. Dreer, Inc., Philadelphia.

This was a large exhibit of sta[)le
jdants for retail stores and young stock
for growing on. I'erhaps the most note-
worthy feature was the collection of
crotons in many varieties and sizes; it
imdoubtedly was the best lot of crotons
tliis exhibitor ever has sent to a conven-
tion. The disjilay of palms included a
comjilete line of sizes, a notable point
in view of the impossibility of import-
ing during the last season. The ferns
were Hcottii and Teddy, Junior, unless
we include Cyrtoniium Kochfordianum
compactum, Asplenium Nidus-avis and
Adiantum gloriosum, whi(di latter is
said to be a sjiecially pojuilar Christmas
])lant with New York retailers. There
also were ferns for dishes, small dra-
ca'uas in many fancy varieties and the
usual display of Cocos Weddelliana,
glazing jioints, etc. .1. J. Karins and
J. J. Cloudy were in charge.

Fritz Dressel, Weehawken, N. J.

I'resident Wilson is tlie name of the
new nephrolepis staged by this exhib-
itor. There were nine fine plants in
various sizes. It is a sjiort of Teddy,
.funior, and has received the certificate
of the New York i'lorists' Club and of
the International Flower Show. It will
be distributed next year. The orig-
inator was in charge of the display.

S. S. Pennock Co., Philadelphia.

This exhibitor has three tables, one
displaying baskets, vases and plant
boxes in variety, but featuring an ivory
finish; the other two carrying a large
line of ribbons, chiflfons, corsage ties,
pins, etc. The better quality of ribbons
only are shown, the belief of the house
being that permanent business can be
based on nothing else. PI J. Fancourt
and Robert (Jreenlaw are in charge.

J. A. Peterson & Sons, Cincinnati.

A table of plants, ".just to sliow tlicm
that we are still in the business," as
J. A. Peterson put it. There were fairly
large plants of As])lenium Nidus-avis
and pandanus, ])ut the cyclamens and
begonias of course were i)lants for
growing on. The begonias were of the
exhibitor's own origination and dis-
semination, including (Mnciniiati, Me-
lior and Mrs. J. A. Peterson. Mr. Pe-
terson thinks his fame as a begonia
raiser eventually will rest on Melior.
He has jiractically discontinued grow-
ing Adiantuni Farleyense, long one of
his specialties.

A. N. Pierson, Inc., Cromwell, Conn.

This display represents only the i)ot
I)lant department of the business. There
are araucarias, kentias, pandanus. Pho*-
nix Roebelenii, nephrolepis in variety,
some excellent large adiantums and
other stock of similar character. H. C.
Neubrand is in charge.

F. B. Pierson Co., Tarrytown, N. Y.

This exhibit is one with which most
S. A. F. members are acquainted, as it
has been staged all over the country —

an almost complete line of nephrolepis
varieties. This year there are two new
ones, shown for the first time and not
yet named. There are a few rose plants,
but no bulbs this year. J. R. Fother-
ingham and Theodore Trevellian are in
charge.

A. L. Randall Co., Chicago.

This is a large display of new shapes
and colors in baskets manufactured in
tae exhibitorVown factory,, of vase
lamps in many sizes and of self-con-
tained electric fountains for window,
store and table decoration. Frank Mc-
Cabe and B. E. Blackshaw are in
charge. ■^■<Viii''>'.>

In connection with the Randall ex-
hibit is that of the Duro Paper Products
Co., an allied concern, in charge of S.
Freund. This is a display of cut flower
boxes.

Keed & Keller, New York.

This is not the exhibitors' largest
convention display, but it certainly ex-
cels in quality anything done before.
Consisting almost entirely of baskets,
the goods are almost wholly of New
York manufacture. A novelty is what
is called velvet art ware; American
Beauty vases with the horn covered
with velvet. Creton ware is similarly
•overed with fabric, the awning basket
being an elaboration of the trellis box.
A new gates ajar provides for all flow-
ers being in water. Lamp vases and
bird cages are among the other items
shown in variety. George Maunze and
Herman Kurth are in charge.

M. Bice Co., Philadelphia.

This exhibitor has 700 feet of space
and has used it to the best of advan-
tage, the display being staged more
artistically than at any previous con-
vention. A 5-ton truck brought the
material the ninety miles from Phila-
delphia and on the load were the ma-
terials for staging. Steep steps rise
against the wall, with a lattice parti-
tion every little way, each of the sec-
tions thus created being used for one
line of baskets. Special attention has
been paid to the color scheme. Across
the walls a row of tables affords space
for other articles. The Gray Leader
line of j)lant l)oxes and vases and the
Riceco corsage boxes with patent felt
flower decorations are new and distinct.
Old-fashioned paper bouquet holders
are shown, tinted in many flower colors.
Baskets, aquariums and Christmas nov-
elty wreaths were every one made in
America. B. Eschner and Raymond
Brunswick are in charge, with five as-
sistants. . ' •

Julius Boehrs Co., Butherford, N. J.

This display consists of palms and a
general line of decorative plants, also
begonias and young stock for growing
on.

B. Bosen, New York.

This exhibit consists entirely of
Christmas specialties made of Japanese
frieze, a wood fiber dyed red or green,
now worked up in many forms, includ-
ing mats, roping, wreaths, bells, stars,
etc. L. A. Rosen and A. H. Rosen, sons
of the proprietor, are in charge.

BuBsin & Hanfling, New York.

These exhibitors have a general line
of staple florists' supplies, with enough

space so that the stock is not crowded
and each article can be examined with
as much comfort as though shown in a
store. The senior partner, Sam H. Rus-
sin, in in charge.

John Scheepers, Inc., New York.

A decorative reception booth, Ha-
waiian style, fenced and well furnished
with comfortable chairs, at one of tl>e
points of vantage to see those who entdr
the hall. The display consists of Some
large vases of lilies and gladioli of the
newer varieties, including some un-
named seedlings. Mr. Scheepers is in
charge.

Schloss Bros., New York.

The display includes a large variety
of ribbons, chiffons, bouquet holders,
shields, dorsage ties and novelties in
these lines. Emil Schloss is in charge.

Geo. L. StiUman, Westerly, B. I.

This exhibitor reserved space for a
display of gladioli, but , afterward found
tiie public would not be adl^it!|fed and
did not send his flowers. He does not
cater to the trade, but was present and
had a rest room in his space.

B. Hammond Tracy, Wenham, Mass.

This display was what is known as
the Cedar Acres collection of gladioli.
The varieties were only the newer ones.
Mr. Tracy was in charge.

Wertheimer Bros., New York.

There is said to be an invoice value
of $3,000 in this comprehensive display
of ribbons, chiffons, gauze and corsage
ribbon and the notable feature is that
with the exception of one number the
entire exhibit is of American manufac-
ture. Since the European supply be-
came uncertain the firm has developed
the Werbro Mills, at Paterson, N. J., and
is independent. The line has been built
up with special reference to florists'
needs and to the neglect of the dry
goods trade. Every flower color is re-
produced. Special emphasis is put on
Areoweve and otlier corsage ribbons,
but Werbro gauze is one of the leaders.
Sam Seligman is in charge, with four
assistants.

Vaughan's Seed Store, New York.

There are some sixty varieties of
gladioli in this display, cut blooms from
the exhiJjitor's farms in Illinois and
Michigan. The stock traveled well.
French, Japanese and Bermuda bulbs
also are shown. S. W. Pike is in charge,
assisted by Ed. Boylan.

MOTHEBS' DAY COMMITTEE.

[This Is the rpjiort of O. .T. Olson, of St. Paul,
Minn., cliairnian of tlie Mothers' day committee,
at the New York oonvention. J

Mothers' day has now developed into
one of the big flower days of the year
throughout the greater part of the
country. There is a greater and more
widespread call for flowers for Mothers'
day than for any other day, although
the sales average less, and the total
sales do not amount to as much as at
Easter and Christmas.

We have, however, the biggest op-
portunity to make this the banner day
of the year, if we will but realize it.
There is no limit to the amount the
])ublic will spend when prompted by the
tender sentiment which is attached to
the magic name of "Mother."

The Florists^ Review

27

General View of the Middle Section of tfie Convention Garden, Bronx Park, New York.

Many of our retailers liave already
seen the desirability of interesting the
customer in something better and dif-
ferent than the ordinary bunch of car-
nations and are showing many things
to take the nlace of carnations for
Mothers' day. Blooming i)lauts have
been a big aid in this, and if we will
make the effort along this line it will
help solve the problem of suj)plying the
demand for flowers, as well as to hold
down the exorbitant i)rice of carnations
which the demand causes.

There was not the big percentage
of call for white carnations this year
that has been experienced in former
years. This is the result of the use of
the slogan, "Bright flowers for mothers
living; white flowers for mother's mem-
ory," used by many florists in adver-
tising for Mothers' day.

On account of the lack of a definite
program, due to there l)eing no oppor-
tunity for the widely scattered mem-
bers of this committee to meet and for-
mulate one, little has been accom-
plished. The collection of a fund to be
turned over to Miss Anna Jarvis has
not had the response from the trade
that it should have had. An effort to
secure promises of yearly subscriptions
has not proved successful so far, but it
is hoped that this plan will still prove
successful.

Many florists have expressed a desire
that this committee endeavor to secure

the cooperation of all those inter-
ested in furthering the sale of flowers
for Mothers' day, and to concentrate
our efforts on one general plan. An-
, other expression heard from retailers is
the desire to get the growers to supj)ly
more suitable stock for Mothers' day,
and also to eliminate the so-called
pickled stock as far as possible.

I regret that circumstances prevent
me from being present at the conven-
tion to make a more complete report,
and also to discuss matters pertaining
to Mothers' day.

THE visitors at the New York conven-
tion have been slow to register. The
S. A. F. button badge admits to every-
thing, so registration to procure tickets
is not necessary, as in years when there
has been a splendid program of outside
affairs. The attendance is large, but
many who came from near-by places for a
day did not put their names on the books
and a complete list of those attending is
impossible. Among those from outside
New York whose presence was noted the

E are gathered here today,
^^ T'T" in this, the greatest Ameri-
\^y / can city, an assemblage of
\^^^ loyal members of a great
*^ * ™ organization. We have
come from the far west,
north and south, to this
extreme eastern city, and
those who have come in
these unsettled times show
their loyalty to this organization and
their firm belief in these United States.
It is with much happiness that we as-
semble in this spacious auditorium, with
the evidences of the fact that we are all
Americans, owing allegiance to but one
flag, and that the flag of the American
fathers, the Stars and Stripes, the sym-
bol of free government — the Red, the
White, the Blue.

Here we renew our pledges to stand
by the great and good man, Woodrow
Wilson, and wherever he leads we will
follow, to uphold the riglits of this, our
American country, and when this ter-
r i b 1 e struggle is
over we hope it will
bring peace and
comfort and plenty
to every nation for
all time.

Citizenship.

In these strenu-
ous times, my broth-
ers, it behooves us,
as true American
citizens, to con-
serve our resources
in every way pos-
sible, to be able to
meet any demands
that may be made
on us during tliis
terrible struggle,
and to be able to
respond quickly to
every call of our
country.

Never before
were conventions
apparently so
handicapped as the
ones that are called
this year, but, after
all, it is a great test
lor us all, for surely
it h a s developed
stal)ility and inde-
p 0 n d e n c e. Yet,
Avith many handi-
<'aps, we assemble
today in what I
hope will be the

hope the most efficient, through our op-
portunity for real results.

Our conventions in the past have been
most efficient, but at this convention
the opportunity is provided not only to
help ourselves, but to prepare to help
and comfort our brothers in the craft,
in this world war, over there.

We are given the opportunity to make
this convention different, and distinct
from all others. We have all appreci-
ated each convention, each type of man
that serves, and it is the same spirit of
appreciation of the circumstances that
makes this a convention different from
others. Old methods and manners are
changing — in fact, must change — and
is it not well that the Society of Ameri-
can Florists should be put to the test,
and show to all that our national con-

ventions do not depend on entertain-
ments? And I am proud of the fact
that the convention over which I am
allowed to preside shows that loyalty
to service.

Time has flown fast during the last
and most eventful twelve months, since
this great organization honored the
south, and especially Texas and Hous-
ton, with our convention.

From Boston in the extreme east to
San Francisco in the extreme west, to
Houston in the extreme south, is a
record of which any organization may
be proud. And I feel particularly
proud of being so closely associated
with this organization when we are
making such great progress.

As our charter indicates, we are a
national organization, and when we
journeyed to San Francisco we not
only showed that we were national in
spirit, but created new interest, thereby
adding both numbers to our member-
ship and money to our treasury.

Then you voted
the convention to
Houston, and it was
another instance of
increased member-
ship and increased
treasury.

Membership.

A trade paper,
commenting upon
the conventions
west and south,
said, "The society
will return to the
east by slow and
easy stages." The
south is often con-
sidered slow, but in
this case we have
not been so slow,
for we are this day
delivering the so-
ciety again to the
oast, and I trust
that you will find
its affairs in even a
better condition
than upon its de-
jiarture from Bos-
ton to San Fran-
cisco. And, in re-
turn for our loyalty
to the society, we
trust you will honor
both the west and
the south, with the
convention in our
midst, in some near
future day.

While the in-
crease in our mem-
bership during the
last year has been

The Florists^ Review

August 23, 1917.

ous years' recortls, it is astonisliing
that there are numbers of our profes-
sion who are not members of this organ-
ization. And there is no excuse for
this state of affairs. There are many
lines of activities in our organization
that have done much to elevate our pro-
fession, and all members of our craft
who are deriving a direct benefit from
this work, and are not contributing to
its support, are disloyal to then-ause, or
1 might add, if you please, are ' ' slack-
ers. ' '

It is my intention not to unnecessavily
criticise, but I must say that we have a
weak point in our organization. Instead
of having 2,000 members, we should
have a national organization in num-
bers, say 10,000, from every corner of
the whole United States. The great
work that is being done by this organ-
ization should interest every man in
our profession, and the fact that any
are not members shows our weak point.
The majority of our state vice-presi-
dents are active, and doing a commend-
able work, but some are inactive. I
have sent out many letters during the
last year, trying to stir up interest, and
a few state vice-presidents do not even
reply; others reply, pleading that they
are too busy. We tlo have a number of
hard workers, who get results, and I
notice that these are usually tlie busiest
men in our profession. But these con-
ditions must be remedied; we should
provide ways and'li^'cans of reaching
the non-members and putting before
them the necessary information as to
our activities.

In going (Oyer the reports of past
president%^ ilote that recommendations

were made to the members to get active
individually. This, of course, is neces-
sary, but we are not getting results as
we should, and we must find even a bet-
ter way in which to work. Now, the
methods to use to overcome this ob-
stacle would be hard to work out with-
out considerable study, and I recom-
mend to the society that a committee
be appointed to devise ways and means
for a membership campaign that will
bring results.

National Flower Show.

When the society adopted, in Hous-
ton, an amendment to our by-laws to
place within the power of the execu-
tive board the changing of the date of
our meetings, I feel tliat this was a
great step forward. More particularly
will it give us the opportunity to try
out the holding of our convention and
National Flower Show in conjunction.
Our first combined convention and show
will be held in St. Louis in the spring
of 1918. This will demonstrate to the
members the feasibility of the plan.
This plan has been discussed by our
most able and conservative members on
both sides of the question.

I predict that this new arrangement
in the conduct of our annual meetings
will see a decided change in the inter-
est taken in our work. The time has
long passed when our members want
only entertainment and a good time at
these conventions. Instead, they want
information along all lines. They want
to return home with new ideJ^ that
will assist them in furthering their
business. I predict that the new plan
will stimulate both in attendance and

(I)lioctor-('l('Ct S()clt»ty of Anicrican Florists.)

membership. The year following the
St. Louis convention we will hold a
summer convention, and this will reach
the members who cannot attend the
spring convention. To my mind, this
would be a wise plan to follow in the
future.

I want to take this opportunity of
commending the chairman of the Na-
tional Flower Show, George Asmus, and
his most efficient committee, for their
most excellent service rendered to the
society. Members who are not in close
touch little realize the great volume of
work undertaken and carried out by the
members of this committee, or the tre-
mendous responsibility that rests upon
their shoulders. The National Flower
Show has been the means of rapidly in-
creasing our funds, by putting dollars
in our treasury from the Philadelphia
show. While the finances are secondary,
these shows must be made profitable if
we expect to continue them. The
shows are of a wondei'ful educational
A'alue to the flower-buying people.
There is no better medium by which we
can increase the sale of flowers than by
holding these shows in different sections
of the country.

I wish most heartily to recommend
the holding of our JS^ational Flower
Show every two years, and that the
National Flower Show committee carry
this into effect as soon as practical.

School Gardens.

I have been watching with interest
the good work accomplished by the
most efficient chairman of our school
garden committee, Benjamin Hammond.
He seems to be peculiarly fitted for this
work.

The minds of our people are rapidly
turning in the direction of more home
products. It has been proven that the
way to reach the parents is through the
children. If the children are interested
in floral and horticultural work, the
parents can not help but become en-
thused and encourage the work. Aside
from beautifying the home, it forms
habits of training and uplift that have
no parallel in the shaping of tlie char-
acter of the children. My only regret
is that this work is not taken up in
every school in these Ignited States.

I trust that we will lend every en-
couragement to further the work along
this line.

Convention Gardens.

Due to the holding of the convention
and National Flower Show at the same
time in St. Louis in the spring of 1918,
it will be necessary to dispense with
the convention garden for that year.
But I am confident that this will add
more interest in the garden the coming
year. Having these gardens every two
years will give more time to the prepa-
ration and we can have even a better
dis])lay than heretofore.

It is hardly ])robable that we can im-
prove in all respects on ])revious gar-
dens, or on the one we have the pleas-
ure of viewing this year in New York,
but as time goes on and we profit each
time by ])ast experiences, we shall be
encouraged, and this will be one of the
loading features at our summer con-
ventions.

Legislation.

It is strange to say, but is neverthe-
less true, that unless we are continually
on the alert, laws are likely to be passed
that will be of serious detriment to our

AUGUST 23, 1917.

The Florists' Review

•nrofcssion. I will call your attention to
the proposed drastic quarantine law,
-wliich if it goes into effect, will practi-
cal! v eliminate the importation of all
foreign stock. If not for the alertness
of our legislative committee, this law
will likely be passed.

I also want to call your attention to
a matter that will be presented to the
interstate commerce committee, in re-
<rard to allowing the express companies
a delay of twenty-four hours on cut
flowers, as a reasonable delay in trans-
])ortation. The florists of the country
realize the extremely heavy loss this
would mean in the transportation of
their stock.

There is at this time a great need
for a uniform interstate inspection law,
and I would urge the legislative com-
mittee to work in connection with the
committee of nurserymen, who have al-
ready started the mover^ent to get this
matter adjusted.

These are just a few of the numerous
things that confrpnt this committee
from time to time. Yet, regardless of
tliis committee's effective work, a num-
ber of live florists have asked me,
' ' What good is to be derived from be-
ing a member of the Society of Ameri-
can Florists!"

I wish here to thank personally each
member of this committee, and wish to
urge each member of the Society of
American Florists to lend his coopera-
tion in the furthering of this great
work.

Publicity.

Great men have told, and great events
have shown, how patriotism and good
business go hand in hand in these days
of America at war. The value of an
even keel, and a steady ])ull tlirougli
the rougli waters of international strife,
has been sliown in many ways. The
maintenance of everyday l)usiness, in
its accustomed even routine, lias its
magnificent part in the winning of free-
dom for all. It is the nation's normal
lieart-beat, i)umi)ing blood to the brain
and muscles of war. This is why great
minds have seen in the ]>erpetuation of
everyday business conditions the real
winning of the war. And if there ever
was a time in the history of our profes-
sion when we needed a nation-wide co-
ojierative i)ublicity campaign, it is now.
During this time of so much pul)licity
given to economy, we are liable to suf-
fer if we do not give more publicity to
the use of flowers, plants and other
ornamentals.

Just an example of what does haj)-
pen occasionally: An article ajipeared
in one of our Houston local jiapers, ad-
ilressed to one of the local charities,
saying, "Find enclosed my check for
$!<•, which, under former conditions,
would have gone for flowers, but I feel
it my duty to send this instead." This
article -was published just after the
funeral tlie same afternoon of one of
Mur townsmen, and would liave had
telling effect if it had appeared in the
morning jiaper. T am only looking at this
from tlie viewjioint of my liaving flow-
ers to sell — my only commodity for sell-
ing and making my living — and not
from anotiier viewpoint which we must
often take, that of helping willingly and
liberally in all deserving causes.

Such agitation, you see, calls for us
to keep ever before the public the use
of flowers. We must keep tiie senti-
ment alive. We must have some means
of quick action, and I am convinced

that it would be well for every city to
follow plans similar to those of the
Chicago Florists' Club, *very florist in
the city contributing his pro-rata to a
cooperative a<lvertisement to appear as
often as is deemed best, on the subject
of the general use of flowers. If this is
done by individuals, they can sign their
names; if by clubs, then the club name,
or some similar plan can be followed.

Our publicity committee can be of
vital importance, stirring up interest
throughout the country i)y such a co-
operative plan. And a movement of this
kind is inexpensive but effective, deriv-
ing a direct benefit. I would strongly
urge the publicity committee to give
serious consideration to this or some
other good plan, that will get immedi-
ate results. This is a time to think,
and think straight. Use your heads, you
business men, not your hearts alone.
You have got to think straight for the
future, not for the present. The cross
currents are strong, and sweep from
whirlpools of immeasurable depth.

National Credit and Collections.

For the last two years there has been
a great deal of discussion on this im-
jiortant subject. These two years have
been devoted to serious study and in-
vestigation, and we are now ready to
get tiown to business.

We all realize the importance of this
department of our work. I am not go-
ing into details in this matter, as the
chairman of this committee, Patrick
Welch, will present this matter in de-

tail, and you may depend upon his com-
mittee bringing this work into success-
ful ojieration.

Our Revenues.

We return this organization to the
east, bringing to you more members, a
larger treasury, tlie society in a more
thriving condition than ever before.
And we have discussed, from time to
time, the duty of expending our reve-
nues in sucli a way that the trade, as a
whole, will he most benefited.

Many times I liave been asked by
members, "What do you expect to do
with the accumulations in the treas-
ury?" I think we have reached a suf-
ficient amount to give serious consider-
ation to the proper expenditure of it,
and I would recommend to the members
of tlie incoming board that they give
consideration to this matter. In mak-
ing the recommendation, I am mindful
of the fact that expenditures through
the legislative committee, the publicity
committee and our other imjiortant
committees, are benefiting our memher-
shij) in general. Rut a study of the re-
]iorts shows that this money is coming
(uit of our revenues each year. I am
of the oyiinion that revenues from our
interest should be devoted to some spe-
cific ]>urj)()se, and I see no reason for
further delay in tliis matter.

I am sure that the meml)ers of our
organization will be exceedingly ]deased
to know that our treasurer was author-
ized to invest .$10,(I0(I in Liberty Loan
bonds. I'ndoubtedlv this shows the

AUOUST 23, 1917.

great patriotic spirit of our organiza-
tion.

Our Patriotic Duty.

While we have subscribed $10,000 to
the Liberty Loan, this is a substantial
investment. We should go further and
sacrifice something at this time for the
good of the cause.

Florists and their allied interests
liave enjoyed such prosperity as few
lines of business have enjoyed. We, as
patriotic American citizens, should sub-
scribe something to the cause of the
Red Cross. I feel that this convention
should, before we adjourn, subscribe
$1,000 to the Red Cross, either from our
treasury or by public subscription. I
trust that this convention will imme-
diately authorize the appointment of a
committee to recommend at our next
session the proper procedure to raise
this money.

Our Secretary.

Our society has many valuable assets,
and one. of these is the service of an
efficient secretary.

Few members realize the great
volume of business transacted through
this office, which, to my knowledge, is
transacted in a most detailed and effi-
cient manner.

The executive board is responsible to
the membership for the work of the
secretary. Then why should it not be
left to the directors to elect the man for
whom they are responsible? You will
have presented to you, at this conven-
tion, an amendment to our by-laws,
which, if passed, will empower your
board to elect a secretary, instead of
his being elected by the membership
at the convention. Personally, I can
hardly conceive of anyone objecting to
this change, as it is only fair to the
executive board. If, perchance, this
amendment shall fail, and if at some
future date you elect a secretary who
is incompetent and inefficient, and the
affairs are not carried on as they should
be in every detail, do not blame the
executive board.

The responsibilities of the secretary
of our society are great. And I say to
you at this time, that it is your duty
to vote for tliis amendment' and give
to the executive board the power to
elect a secretary and let the responsibil-
ity rest with them, as they must account
to the membership for the conduct of
the affairs of this office.

Cooperation.

We all remember the old adage,
"Competition is the life of trade." But
we live in the age of progressivoncss,
and we have changed the old adafje to
read, "Cooperation is the life of
trade." Just as I began this part of
my report, I had returned from a co-
meeting of the ])oards of two civic
organizations, rivals in some respects,
but both working to the same end and
both striving to make Houston a greater
city. There had been a lack of har-
mony, just because we failed to get to-
gether. When we met on common
ground we discovered that there was
really no cause for friction. To<lay
these two organizations are linked to-
gether and they will accomplish great
results in the future.

The point I want to bring out is this:
Get a little closer to your neiglil)or.
There may have been a lack of harmony,
but when an understanding is reached,
there is no necessity for friction of any
kind. I will cite anotlier instance:

The Texas State IMorists' Association
was organized,, and We' hi^ve close coop-
eration among the florists of the state
and are getting wonderful results. More
organizations in every state are form-
ing each year and these organizations
should affiliate with the Society of
American Florists. Through our per-
sonal cooperation, by state organiza-
tion, together with our special organiza-
tions, such as our Rose and Carnation
Societies, the Florists' Telegraph De-
livery and other bodies of similar
nature, centered in our society as a na-
tional body, we should reap wonderful
results.

You have come to this convention to
make your profession more efficient, so
that you can be of greater service to
the world. Your object is business

betterment through better methods.
You serve the world, your country and
yourselves by helping with your work
in facilitating all business as usual.
We are always willing to help one an-
other, and I am glad to see you are
here in the spirit of helpfulness. You
are here with open hearts, with warm
handclasp and with smiling faces,
typical of members of the Society of
American Florists. You are ready to
give value for value — everyone hand
in hand, side by side. Your cooperat-
ing in this great national Society of
American Florists is a national force
for better business. You can do great
things for yourselves, and for all, at
this meeting. We want you to do them
with your whole heart, as true members,
and we know you will.

SOCIETY'S ACTIVITIES '

AjrAIN I have the pleasure to report
most satisfactory progress made by
the society, with a strength in member-
ship which augurs well for the imme-
diate future. In little more than five
years I have had the satisfaction of
seeing the membership increase over
eighty per cent, nearly twofold. When
I took office January 1, 1912, the mem-
bership comprised 994 annual and 281
life members, a total of 1,275. Decem-
ber 31, 1916, five years later, we had
1,304 annual, 447 life and 25 pioneer
members, a total of 1,776, a gain of 501
members, of whom 166 had taken out
life memberships. August 10 last we
had, presuming the 1917 dues will be
paid, 1,694 annual, 496 life and 25
pioneer members, a grand total of 2,215.
I need hardly say that this growth is
most gratifying to me, and must be
equally so to all our members. But we
are not nearly so strong as we should be,
when we consider that we yet include
in our membership perhaps only ten per
cent of the total number of florists in
this country and Canada, all of whom
should be earnestly interested in the
work of the society, which is ever in the
direction of benefit for the trade at
large.

We may congratulate ourselves upon
the standing of our society, both as to
membership and finances, especially in
these days of war and unrest. We
should also bear in mind that our last
two conventions were held remotely
apart and far from greatly populated
centers — one in the far west, the other
in the far south — which, undoubtedly,
cut down our prospects for a large in-
flux of new members; yet, it is equally
plain tliat we made no mistake in meet-
ing in these sections, and that our mem-
bership increased under natural rather
than abnormal conditions.

The Year's Membership Score.

I have been a little disappointed be-
cause of the small number of new mem-
bers secured through the efforts of the
state vice-presidents. While a few of
these officers have given evidence of
endeavor, the great majority have not

tlie Society of American Florists, presented at
the New Yorli convention, August 21, 1917.

seemed to be able to induce florists in
their respective territories to join our
organization. I have sent out thousands
of pieces of maU through different sec-
tions explaining our objects and solicit-
ing applications for membership, but
the results from persuasion by mail
have been meager. There is nothing
.'like personal solicitation by the man on
the spot.

The society long ago made provision
for the payment of incidental expenses
attaching to the office of a state vice-
president up to the amount of $25, and
this sum would cover the cost of quite a
little missionary work.

The following have sent in one or

more names for membership since the

last convention:

F. T. D. and Publicity.

The Florists' Telegraph Delivery is
doing good recruiting work as a section
of our society, securing for us a large
influx of new members. It will be no-
ticed that we are publishing a full re-
port of the meetings of this organiza-
tion in our annual proceedings. Upward
of 121 pages appeared in the liy.6 vol-
ume. We also publish a list of F. T. D.
members, with addresses and names of
the retail establishments represented.
Our executive board has recommended
that any appropriations for publicity
work made by the society shall be ex-
pended by the society's publicity com-
mittee in conjunction with a similar
committee appointed by the F. T. D.
This will insure that the interests of all
branches of the trade will ])e conserved
in publicity work.

means of getting it is a problem your

with for some time. It is- a matter re-
quiring deep thought, and any step
made must necessarily be in the right
direction, otherwise expenditures on the
project would be entirely wasted. Many
plans have been suggested, but none has
vet been adopted. You will have no-
ticed that in the report of the meeting
of the board of directors a recommenda-
tion was made that the society appro-
priate $1,500 to the use of the F. T. D.
to augment the fund which the latter is
raising for a general advertising cam-
paign.

The bureau of credits and collections
is another of the society's projects in
which the policy of "make haste slow-
ly" is paramount. The committee in
charge of the proposition, however, is
beginning "to see daylight" and it will
not be long before a working plan will
be evolved. The committee is fortu-
nate in having at its head as able a
chairman as Patrick Welch.

Next Year's Show and Meeting.

The committee on Mothers' day
worked earnestly early in the year to
promote a fund for advertising flowers
for this day, as its report will show. In
collaboration with Chairman Olson, I
sent out 13,200 circular letters to flo-
rists, dealers in supplies, etc., soliciting
subscriptions. The amount received
was only $571 and the expenditures, in-
cluding postage, amounted to $516.50,
leaving a net balance of $54.50.

The work of the secretary's office in
the promotion of the Fifth National
Flower Show has been quite active for
many months. I have been successful
in raising the required $10,000 guaran-
tee fund and have published and dis-
tributed two preliminary schedules, im-
portant and necessary features of the
work.

The ])lan to hold the 1918 convention
of the society in St. Louis in conjunc-
tion with the National Flower Show,
while at first thought to be a question-
able policy, is meeting with hearty ap-
proval, and I am assured on every hand
that it has been a wise move and un-
doubtedly pleases the majority of our
members. The double attraction should
insure a larger attendance of the trade
than we have hitherto had at any of our
gatherings, and the possibility of com-
bining the usual flower show trade ex-
hibits with the regular convention trade
exhibition should result in a grand ex-
position of florists ' products, auxilia-
ries, supplies and accessories, as well as
of everything used in the line of horti-
cultural work, both professional and
amateur.

The Garden and Exhibition.

I would particularly direct the atten-
tion of members to the fact that all
dues are payable January 1, and should
not be permitted to run until conven-
tion time. The dues are small and re-
mitting is easy, so why not make an im-
mediate remittance on receipt of the
bill from the secretary's offico and save
the society the unnecessary ])ostage en-
tailed by subsequent billings?

I regret to say that, in spite of the
most strenuous efforts I could put forth,
interest in the convention garden
lagged to a surprising extent, in spite
of the great advertising opportunity
presented and the fact that plantings
could be continued without cost for
several seasons. The support received
by the society in the gar<len project this
year has been meager, indeed. In this
great city of New York, with its exten-

sive suburbs where horticulture is a
general hobby of the residents, plant-
ings of novelties or meritorious varie-
ties in plants and flowers would have
obtained publicity the value of which
could hardly be estimated in dollars
and cents — and at such little cost.

When we consider the disturbed con-
dition of commerce, lack of transporta-
tion facilities and other drawbacks at
])resent in evidence, it must be admitted
that our trade exhibition is as large and
as comprehensive as could be expected.
While it compares favorably with other
exhibitions, had times been normal it
would, undoubtedly, have been excep-
tionally large.

Exit Organized Entertainment.

In line with recommendations made
from time to time by our executive
board that organized entertainment in
convention cities be discontinued, for
the reason that they detract from the
interest of our society's meetings, such
entertainment forms no part of our pro-
gram. Feeling that a precedent might
better be established in a large city, New-
York has set an example, the sincerity
of which is unquestioned, and it is
meeting the approval of tlie majority of
our membership. If the precedent is
turned into custom, many more cities
will find it their unhampered privilege
to offer themselves for future conven-
tions.

I desire at this time to express pub-
licly my appreciation of the most con-
genial relations which have existed be-
tween the committees of our society and
the secretary's office. Such relations
I recognize to be most important in
conducting the work of the society, and

it is a great ])leasure to me to testify
to the great harmony prevailing. I am
at all times ready to render any assist-
ance in my power to committee work,
promptly and most cheerfully.

It is also fitting at this time that I
should mention the great services ren-
dered to the society by the trade press.
Our trade papers have promptly pub-
lished the large number of articles sent
in by me during the last year and their
unselfish assistance in our work should
be recognized to the fullest extent pos-
sible.

TARIFF AND LEGISLATION COMMITTEE

OS^E of the first and most serious
problems presented to your commit-
tee since the last report was a bill pro-
hibiting imports. The demand for the
stopping of imports of all kinds of
plants, trees and bulbs from all sources,
comes from a small group of entomolo-
gists, who seem to think that legislation,
often ill-advised, is the solution of all
evils. They do not seem to know how
dependent our trade is upon other coun-
tries for such raw materials as lily< bulbs,
valley pips, azaleas, Manetti stocks,
Dutch bulbs, etc., but they think that
the prohibition of these imports will re-
duce the annual damage done to our
crops and forests by insect pests and
plant diseases. We will not weary you
with the details in this report, as the
facts have been published by the trade
papers.

The seriousness of the matter to this
organization comes from the fact that
this small group of entomologists had
the American Forestry Association en-
dorse the plan. This body has a mem-
bership of more than 5,000, so is politi-
cally powerful in Washington. It con-
sists largely of lumbermen, who, of
course, are enthusiastically in favor of
any plan which they are told will pro-
tect our forests, from which their sup-
ply of lumber comes.

The Fight on Quarantine.

Since the proposed prohibition af-
fected the nurserymen almost as vitally
as the florists, arrangements have been
made whereby the nurserymen join with
the florists in combating the plan, and
share the expenses of employing what
talent may be necessary. During the
summer months our committee and the
nurserymen's committee are to meet
with the entomological committee in
charge, and there the matter now
stands.

It has been stated that the entomo-
logical committee would be satisfied at
this time with a partial quarantine on
what they term "finished product."
This would then quarantine only such
items as bay trees, azaleas, boxwood,
etc., but your committee has good rea-
sons for believing this would only be
the thin end of the wedge, largely used
to divide the nurserymen and florists in
their opposition. If this plan of the pro-
hibition of imports is allowed to become
effective, there is little doubt that the
next step will be an embargo on inter-
state trade — every argument that is
used for one prohibition can be used for
the other — and it has been frankly said
by our opponents that they hope to see
the time come when no plant or nursery
stock shipments shall be allowed pas-
sage in interstate trade. You can imag-
ine what such a plan would mean to the
horticultural trade of the United States.

Our committee has authority from the
executive committee of the S. A. F. to
oppose this measure and in, cooperation
with the nurserymen will exercise that
power for the best interests of our
members.

Report of William F. Glide ns chairman of the
S \ F conimittee on tariff and legislation,
presented at the New York convention.

Licensed Firemen.

Bequests for aid have come from sev-
eral states in the effort to prevent leg-
islation going into effect requiring the
service of licensed firemen and engi-
neers on low-pressure boilers in small
greenhouse establishments. That would
legislate many small growers out of ex-
istence. More than 100 such bills are
now pending in the different states, and
it is impossible for your committee to
handle all of them. The matter was
referred to the executive committee for
action, although the remedy must come
from the growers in the affected states
through their representatives.

War Duties.

In last May's war revenue measures,
the Ways and Means committee of the
House proposed a straight additional
ten per cent ad valorem duty on all im-
ports, and it was embodied in the bill
passed by the House. The imposition
of an ad valorem duty to items already
dutiable on a specific basis would renew
many old abuses and make the importa-
tion of many of the finer varieties pro-
hibitive. While not objecting to an in-
creased duty, your committee demanded
a specific increase on items at present
dutiable on a specific basis, and failing
to get redress from the Ways and
Means committee of the House, it was
taken to the Senate Finance committee,
where the whole tariff increase failed
of passage.

Express Labels.

In MarcH last, a number of members
of the S. A. F. executive committee, to-
gether with Max Schling, of New York,
had a lengthy interview with the vice-
presidents and general managers of the
Adams Express Co., American Express
Co. and the Wells, Targo Express Co.
in reference to effecting a more expedi-
tious handling of cut flowers. As that
was on the eve of the great railroad
strike, we did not make much headway,
but the officials all announced them-
selves as being anxious to help expe-
dite the florists' business and transmis-
sion of flowers by express in every way
possible. Subsequently, through the in-
defatigable efforts of Max Schling, of
New York, the express companies al-
lowed us to use the following label,
which, no doubt, in our mind, will do
much toward facilitating delivery of
express packages:

FLOWERS HIGHLY PERISHABLE

IMPORTANT NOTICE
EXPRESS AGENT:

If immediate delivery of this package cannot
be effected, communicate with consignee by tele-
phone or otherwise, advising of arrival of ship-
ment, and say why immediate delivery cannot be
made. Your assistance in expediting delivery
■will be appreciated.

This label is approved by E. M. Williams,
vice-president Adams Express Co.; T>. S. El-
liot, vice-president American Express Co.; F.
S. Holbrook, vice-president Wells, Fargo Ex-
press Co.

Express Claims.

Under date of July 6, we received
complaints from several large cut flower
shippers (including a complaint from
tlie Leo Xiessen Co., of Philadelphia,
through our secretary, John Young)
that the express companies were about
to claim, tlirough the Interstate Com-

merce Commission, that a 24-hour delay
on cut flowers and plants would not be
unreasonable. This was referred to
your chairman at Washington, who im-
mediately took the matter up with the
Interstate Commerce Commission
through Mr. Fishback, who was former-
ly confidential secretary to the Inter-
state Commerce Commission, and there-
fore especially qualified to handle such
matters, with the following results:

July 16, 1917.
Win. F. Gude,

1214 F Street, N. W.,
Washington, D. C.

Dear Mr. Gude: Referring to the communica-
tion which you submitted to me, from the secre-
tary of the Society of Florists, I have talked
with the oflScial of the commission having im-
mediate charge of matters relating to rates and
regulations of express companies. He states
that no communication has come to his hands re-
questing a ruling by the commission In regard
to the subject of claims for delays to flowers in
transit. 1 will have the officials go further into
the question, and have explained that the law
confers no authority upon the commission to
make a ruling of the character suggested, name-
ly that twenty-four hours is not unreasonable
delay to cut flowers; that the question of what
is unreasonable must be determined on the facts
in each case, and if the shipper and express
company cannot agree on the subject of a par-
ticular claim, the question must be settled In
the courts. Therefore, where a controversy
arises over a particular shipment as to dam-
ages caused by delay, and the carrier denies
liability, no rule that the Interstate Commerce
Commission miglit lay down could bind the court
in Its decision on the facts presented in a suit.
The commission has always avoided expressing
opinions concerning questions which it would
not authoritatively decide if presented in a for-
mal proceeding before it, and it is perfectly ob-
vious that it would decline to do so in the case
mentioned in the letter received by you from
the secretary of the Society of Florists. The
commission acts within its province, and Con-
gress has not conferred power upon it to pass
upon or adjust claims for loss, damage or delay
in transit. Those are claims which the courts
alone have authority to determine.

If any express company should propose a rule
by tariff publication, I will keep In touch with
the situation In such a way as to be immediately
informed, and will take such actions as neces-
sary to secure suspension of the proposed rule,
although I am confident that no traffic official,
or legal advisor of express companies, would
expect to be able to establish a fixed basis for
settlement of claims for delay by traffic rules or
regulations. They could have no force In law.
as the courts would still use their own judg-
ment, and proceed as now to liear and determine
causes of this character, without regard to any
rule or regulation published in tariffs of the
express companies.

Yours very truly,

J. H. Fishback.

P.S. — A peculiar duty rests upon express com-
panies in transporting cut flowers, these being
a highly perishable commodity, and they may not
absolve themselves from liability unless thay
have strong justification.

July 17, 1917.
W. F. Gude,

1214 F Street, N. W.,
Washington, D. C.

Dear Sir: 1 have conferred further at the
office of the commission with regard to the at-
tempt of express company officials to avoid pay-
ment of claims for damage due to delay where
the delay does not exceed twenty-four hours. I
now find that shippers have communicated with
the commission informing it they had been ad-
vised of this position of claim agents or other
officials of the express companies, principally
the Adams Express Co., I understand, but this
had reference more particularly to non-perish-
able property, and not to cut flowers, and was
due to the fact that owing to operating condi-
tions on railroads, traffic congestion and conges-
tion of terminals, etc., which have existed for
many months, the movement of trains and de-
livery of property has been interfered with and
delayed.

However, as I have explained, the commission
has made no ruling on the subject, and it is not
within its province to do so, as the liability of
carriers for delay must be determined on the
facts in each case, nnd where the carrier denies
liability, the question can be settled alone in
the courts upon the facts presented. If any
claims on cut flowers are declined on the basis
explained to me, they should be taken un
with the chief executive officials, or by suit in
tlie courts.

Yours very truly.

J. H. Fishback.

The Florists' Review

Embargo on Valley Pips.

Last fall your committee was ap-
pealed to by various large importers
about getting their lily of the valley
pips from Copenhagen into the United
States. After many conferences and
long delays, we were advised by the
Department of State that the majority
of valley pips in Copenhagen were not
grown in Denmark, but were German-
grown and, therefore, the British au-
thorities were not inclined to let them
come through.

Importation of Azaleas.

Last fall much time was consumed
between the German and British em-
bassies and the State Department in
endeavoring to have the embargo raised
on azaleas and other stock from the
Ghent district on shipments into the
United States from Belgian growers.
This seemed to be an insurmountable
problem, and we had practically given
up hope of getting the azaleas and
other stock in, when we were advised
that owing to a misunderstanding be-
tween the counselors in London and
Berlin, the azaleas had been held up, in
error. And, when this misunderstand-
ing was rectified, the azaleas came
through.

In reference to the shipment of aza-
leas and rhododendrons this year, we beg
to advise that we have taken the mat-
ter up with the State Department and
under date of August 2, 1917, we were
assured that so far as the department
knows there have been no restrictions
or laws changed since 1916 by which
azaleas have been permitted to come in,
and payment made to the Belgian Bank
in London. Our committee, however,
feels that until war conditions change
in Belgium, no azaleas or other stock
can come into the United States from
that country.

Fumigation of Orchids.

In May last, several communications
were received from the Orchid Grow-
ers' Association to have an interview
with the Department of Agriculture as
to the fumigation of orchids, which,
some of the growers claim, was so det-
rimental to the plants that some had
been killed. We took the matter up
promptly with the Federal Horticul-
tural Board May 27 and were told
that the fumigation of newly imported
orchids had been suspended until May 31
to see what effect the fumigation would
have. Subsequently, we have been told
that the fumigation orders have been
modified so far as orchids were con-
cerned until they are now being fumi-
gated without detriment to the plants.

Embargo on Baffia.

Early in the European war the
French government placed an embargo
on all raffia exported from the island
of Madagascar. The importers became
interested and were anxious to have the
embargo lifted. We took the matter up
with the State Department and after
many interviews and cablegrams (paid
for by James McHutchison, of Xew
York city) we were advised August 1
that the embargo had been lifted by the
French government, and raffia is now
coming in as before.

Coal.

Under date of August 9, we received
a communication from Philadelphia in
reference to the coal situation which
seemed to agitate many of our members.
We immediately took the matter up

Anders Rasmussen.

(Clialrman of the Coniiuittoe on Wind Storm Insui-ancc.)

with the director of the Geological Sur-
vey, who submits the following:

For your information I would say that blanks
exactly similar to those mailed the florists have
been sent to many other industries, among the
larger of which are flour mills, breweries, steam
railroads, municipal gas works, automobiles and
automobile motors. In all, more than 16,000
blanks have been mailed out requesting infor-
mation on these points. Only the limit of the
clerical force available has prevented the can-
vass of an even greater number of industries.
The object of the investigation is primarily to
secure specific information on the consumption
and storage of coal in order that the proper
governmental agencies may be able to act in-
telligently on any situation which may arise.

I wish to take this opportunity of
thanking every member of our commit-
tee for willing assistance rendered
whenever the occasion required, espe-
cially since James McHutchison, who
is most thoroughly versed in all these
matters, has been untiring in bringing
about the desired results for our or-
ganization.

SCHOOL GARDENS.

[Report of Renjamin Ilaniniond as chairman of
the school garden committee, presented at the
New York convention.]

The year 1917 will go down in his-
tory as a special year of gardens,
for gardens are no longer regarded as of
no account and suitable only for labor-
ing people to attend to. Tlie Society
of American Florists lias for several
years been encouraging the efforts to
"teach the school children of the country
about garden cultivation. The florist,
wherever he may be, usually has prem-
ises that are a model for tidiness and
beauty, and an example that people of
good taste love to follow. The fact that
from one end of the country to the
other, we have sent each spring a well-
illustr.ated circular letter to school
authorities in every town or city that

has a member of the S. A. F.
has had its effect, judging from
the correspondence that has come to
liand therefrom. It would be difficult
to name any city or town of prominence
but what is giving attention to school
gardening. The city of Grand Kapids,
Mich., has issued one of the best circu-
lars that we have seen. Chicago, 111.,
in various parts of the city, has made it
a point to instruct the children. On the
Pacific coast the movement has ex-
tended from San Diego, Cal., to Tacoma,
Wash., and much attention has been
given this work. Poughkeepsie, N. Y.,
has been one of the leaders in the work.
Boston, Mass., which has always been
a thrifty town from the time it was first
settled, keeps up the good work. Cleve-
land, O., Philadelphia and Wilkes-Bar-
re. Pa., Buffalo, N. Y.; Cincinnati, O.,
Denver, Colo. — and so we may go on in-
definitely, and what at first was re-
garded sometimes as a fad in school
studies has spread from end to end of
the United States, and the last year,
owing to the conditions arising from
the destruction now going on in Europe,
it has brought a realization of the prac-
tical value of the little garden that en-
gaged the thoughts of the ablest men
of the nation. President Wilson espe-
cially laid stress on tlie desirability of
this work. As your committee, we have
followed up the work and we believe
that the florists in every town where one
is located can be a lighthouse showing
wliat can be done, not only with flowers,
but with vegetables, to the benefit of
their communities, and will fix in this
country a desire for gardens — both
plants and flower.s — to an extent that
will remain a permanent benefit to their
business.

i^ AT THE CAPITAL <^

r^r)«vir7Stir)rSYiri^r)«vihrstirrsvir)«tiri«virrsxiri«>nr^

THERE have been many problems
submitted to me during the last
twelve months, some of them un-
usual and only affecting one or
more individuals of the organiza-
tion, other matters of vital im-
portance affecting, more or less, all of
our members. Many of these matters
are handled by your Washington rep-
resentative to the best of his ability by
the liberal use of telephone messages
and friends at court, and thus are easily
and satisfactorily disposed of. Other
questions take months of time and much
correspondence. Still others are mat-
ters for the committee on tariff and leg-
islation.

Botanic Garden.

Since my last report, when the society
went on record as favoring the main-
tenance of the United States Botanic
Garden in its present location, I am
happy to state that through the inde-
fatigable efforts of Hon. Jacob H. Gal-
linger, United States senator from New
Hampshire, a bill has passed the Senate
authorizing the acquisition of the two
government reservations lying just
west of the garden, known as East and
West Seaton parks. This addition
would materially increase the area of
the Botanic Garden. It is hoped that
the measure may soon become a law,
for if the people throughout the country
could but witness the thousands of vis-
itors from all parts of the world who
visit tlie Botanic Garden annually, there
surely would be no hesitancy in enlarg-
ing the garden at once. During the last
season, there has been much of special
interest to attract the citizens of Wash-
ington and the tens of thousands of vis-
itors to the Botanic Garden. Our daily
press has been most liberal in exploit-
ing the educational advantages of the
Botanic Garden and its influence for
good to the public in general. Our ge-
nial, whole-souled superintendent and
fellow-director, George W. Hess, is ever
to the front in aiding and pushing that
which seems best for the uplift and ed-
ucation of all mankind for the more
beautiful in life, and it is our sincere
hope that the additions asked for from
Congress may be granted ere long.

Bose Gardens.

Tlio rose gardens at Arlington Farms
have made material progress since my
last report. About 100 varieties have
been added to the coliections and the
gardens as a whole are improving in
appearance. The winter of 191(5-17 was
especiallv hard on the tea and hybrid
tea roses and they did not look as well
in the earlv spring as in previous years,
but thev have since grown vigorously
and have bloomed well during the sea-
son. It has been necessary to do some
rearranging in the gardens to ])rovide
more room for several types. Additional
trellises have been erected to accommo-
date the increasing numbers of climb-
ing roses. It was found that tlie rugo-
sas were too crowded for satisfactory
development; so one-half of them

This is tho roport of William F. Glide, Waali-
i„Kto„ rri>n.s.M.tativ.. of the S. A. F., presented
at the New York eonvention.

were taken out and placed in a new bed
in order to give chance for develop-
ment. The older climbing roses on the
outside fence and the arches added
greatly to the interest and appearance
of the gardens this season. A large num-
ber of visitors inspected the gardens
every week and June 4 an outdoor meet-
ing of the American Eose Society,
which was largely attended, was held
in the garden.

Peonies and Chrysanthemums.

A peony garden in cooperation with
the American Peony Society has been
established, more than 400 varieties
having been planted last fall. They are
making good growth," and in a year or
two this garden promises to be inter-
esting to flower lovers. The iris collec-
tion of 250 varieties has been increased
by a number of unnamed seedlings.

The hardy chrysanthemum collection
now includes about 1,000 varieties. An
attempt has been made to make a spe-
cial collection of the most desirable
kinds for this section, with the expecta-
tion of eliminating other varieties from
the collection as these selections prove
themselves to be good. The object of
the work with chrysanthemums is to
find a few good early hardy varieties as
bases for breeding others which may be
relied upon for outdoor growth in more
northern sections of the country with-
out protection — varieties that would be
suitable for the grounds of the ordinary
suburbanite or a farm home where in-
tensive culture and much special care
are impossible. There are growing this

year 5,000 seedlings, from which it is
hoped to get a few to bloom earlier than
the average of the large collection.

Some work is also being done in the
breeding of carnations, and on some of
the problems in connection with the
propagation of roses.

U. S. Doing Good Work,

I again wish to draw the attention of
members to the splendid work the De-
partment of Agriculture at Washington
is doing for the benefit of horticulture
and floriculture in general, not only in
the outdoor work of the garden, but also
in the forcing and propagating lines in
the greenhouse of the Experime(ntal
Gardens and in the grounds on the Mall,
where all manner of new plants are be-
ing propagated and tried out. E. M.
Byrnes, the able superintendent of the
houses and grounds, is ever ready to
assist in giving information to anyone
seeking it.

The annual chrysanthemum exhibi-
tion, held October 30 to November 5,
1916, was attended by many thousands
of visitors, and as in the past since
these exhibitions have been held, does
much towards encouraging the growing
of flowers by individuals.

The last year in the florists' business
in Washington has been good and profit-
able to grower, wholesaler and retailer,
notwithstanding the fact that since
our last meeting our own United States
of America has been drawn into this
horrible war, and the demand for money
and men, already heavy, bids fair to be
heavier. Yet the future for our busi-
ness looks bright. The work in connec-
tion with representing this large, influ-
ential association is an honor of which
any man should be exceedingly proud.
I wish to reassure every fellow-member
that I fully appreciate the honor, and I
tender my grateful thanks to all who
have willingly rendered assistance for
the benefit of the S. A. F.

THE NATIONAL SHOW

\irASxir?ivirrsviri«\irirstir)«\irif8vir«tir?svir)rstirrsvir^^

T N submitting my report to the con-
A vention, I wish briefly to touch upon
the objects of the National Flower
Show, which, it is understood by the
committee from instructions received
at the various conventions, are to pro-
mote horticulture in all its branches and
to make the show self-sustaining, the
idea of profit being a secondary con-
sideration.

It is my opinion that the time will
soon be at hand, if it is not now, when
the National Flower Show and the an-
nual convention of the S. A. F. should
be held together in the spring. Statis-
tics kept by the secretary show that the
attendance at the National Flower
Shows by the members of our society
is three times as great as at the con-
ventions. It is also a natural buying
season and the exhibitor finds the florist
visitor at the convention in a mood for
buying.

There are not many buildings in the
country large enougli to stage the exlii-
bition as carried on now by the commit-
tee. In the city of St. Louis, where we
go next spring, we were forced to lease
ground adjacent to the Sliriners' tem-
]ilo, to erect a temporary structure to
stage our show, but there is a move-
ment in a number of larger cities
to build large convention lialls, and in
a few years there will be a number of
large buildings available in cities where
the exhibition can be held.

Preparations for St. Louis.

We are going to the city of St. Louis,
as you all know, next spring. There is
not a large number of big growers close
to St. Louis. Therefore, our committee

Extracts from the report of George Asmus,
chairman of the National Flower Show commit-
tee, prcseiiti'd at the New York convention.

must look for the support of the grow-
ers throughout the country. If the
committee does not get this support, it
will work a severe hardship on it, and
will not reflect to the credit of our so-
ciety or our business.

The American Rose Society will hold
its convention and exhibition in con-
nection with the show, and the Ameri-
can Carnation Society, which was rep-
resented at our last meeting in St. Louis,
signified its intention of making a great
effort at the next show. We were
greatly encouraged also by the Mis-
souri Botanical Garden, commonly
known as Shaw's gardens. Mr. Ohl-
weiler, the director, assured me that lie
would do everything possible, and if
necessary would move the garden to our
exhibition hall.

This is the spirit taken by tlie florists
in general in St. Louis, but if this show
is to be national we ought to liave ex-
liibits not only from the Atlantic coast,
but from tlie Pacific coast as well.

There was some talk, early in the
preparatory part of the exhibition,
about abandoning the show on account
of the war. This the committee unani-
mously believes would be a serious mis-
take, as the motto, "Business as usual,"
has been supjilemented by "Business is
better than usual," and as tliis is strict-
ly a business exhibition our line in par-
ticular must keep in advance of the
times.

Location Is Ideal.

The committee was fortunate in secur-
ing a location that compares somewhat
to the one at the recent Philadelphia
show, being on the principal boulevard,
in the heart of the city and adjacent to
four of the most prominent car lines
in the city. Also it is the principal

drive, surrounded by some of the finest
homes in St. Louis. There also is a
triangular park space belonging to the
city immediately in front of the build-
ing, which the park commissioners have
promised to plant according to the
wishes of our committee.

We are much encouraged by the spirit
shown us by the St. Louis Florists'
Club and its members. The dates for
the show are April 6 to 15, 1918, inclu-
sive, giving us ten full show days, as
the laws of St. Louis, Mo., allow exhibi-
tions open on Sunday. The weather in
St. Louis at this time of the year, sta-
tistics show, is delightful and quite
warm.

The lot leased by the committee is
150x350 feet, and is now leveled off and
being seeded. We have also contracted
for an ornamental electric light bill-
board to be placed there, which will
be in operation this week. The bill-
board shows the proposed building and
announces to the public the contem-
plated show. Every effort is being
made by the committee, which is com-
posed of L. P. Jensen, head gardener
of the Busch estate, Mr. Strehle, super-
intendent of parks in St. Louis, and Mr.
Baumann, landscape architect, to have
a planting of shrubbery, flower beds,
etc.; to make this ornamental, as well
as attractive. There is no doubt that
in the eight months this board will be
up it will give great publicity, and
nearly all of the St. Louis people will
know of the enterprise.

We have also started a publicity cam-
paign, the first of which appeared in
the leading papers last week in the way
of editorials tommenting on the enter-
prise.

The Moolah Temple.

Moolah Tenii)lc is one of St. Louis'
most beautiful structures, consisting of
two large auditoriums. We intend to
place the trade exhibit in the hall on
the main floor, it being without doubt
ideal for that i)urpose. On the upper
floor it is tlio intention of the committee
to stage tlie retail florists' exhibits,
using the large stage for effective deco-
ration and sjiecial features. Tliere is
a balcony in this hall which will seat
1,500 people, thus jiroviding a resting
l)lace where a good view can be had
of this exhibit. Connected with this is
another hall, 40x125 feet, wliich will be
used for lectures. The public at the
past shows has shown a great interest
ill tlie lectures, and it is the intention
of the committee to run tiiem more fre-
quently during the exhibition. The hall
has been designed expressly for this
purpose. Immediately to the left and
right (if each entrance are office rooms,
one of which can be used by the secre-
tary and officers of the Society of Amer-
ican Florists, the other for the show
committee iuid for press work. There
are also suitable jdaces for the meetings
of the society and, in fact, for any of
tlie auxiliary organizations to hold their
meetings or conventions.

All tilings considered, tlie committee
thinks that it has the best cqui{)ment
for conducting the show and convention
that it ever had. The cost of the erec-
tion of the temporary building used for
the main exhibit, it is estimated, will
compare favorably with what has lieen
paid in the jiast for rental, and there
are good prospects of leasing to the
automobile yicojile for their exhibition
and to the Good Koads convention. Also
there are several other exhibitions,

The Florists' Review

which we liope te secure and receive
rental from.

Tlie committee has arranged to have
several leads of water pipe run through
the grounds, with three or four outlets.
This will enable us to thoroughly water
without any damage, and also to keep
all dust and dirt off the exhibits. It is
the intention of the committee to design
this in a beautiful vista effect with
rose gardens and groupings of foliage
and flowering plants, and with the help
and support of the florists' trade this
ought to be, indeed, a wonderful spec-
tacle to view.

In a short time the committee
will gather in St. Louis to appoint the
working committees, and open the oflSce
and start the publicity campaign in
earnest.

The second preliminary schedule has
been sent out by Secretary John Young,
and it is hoped that this will receive
the consideration of the growers
throughout the country. I wish, once
more, to impress upon the trade the Im-
portance of supporting your committee
in doing the work.

Conflicting Dates.

Just a word to the promoters of flower
shows throughout the country. There is
a likelihood in the near future of a
clashing of dates of large shows in this

country. It would be better for all con-
cerned if exhibitions could be ar-
ranged as the automobile trade does
now, by allotment of dates. It brings
a liardship upon the exhibitors, both in
the trade and in the premium classes,
when the shows conflict. Also, where
an out-of-town attendance is looked for,
it would avoid having a number of
prominent exhibitors and trades' people
absent by attending a show in another
locality.

At the present time, the only large
spring exhibition that we know of next
year is in New York, and as the dates
are fixed from March 14 to 21, just
prior to Easter, it will be seen that there
will be no conflict there. Thus it can be
seen by arrangement there need be no
conflict of the dates of exhibitions.

Several times in the past, an instance
being last spring when St. Louis and
New York exhibitions were being held
at about the same dates, a number of
people in the trade informed me that
they were sorry, as they wished to at-
tend both shows. This also was tru^
in the case of the last big fall show in
Cleveland and Chicago, whose dates
were identical.

I also wish to call attention to the
society's medals which are available as
prizes. We are only too glad to offer
them where demand is made upon us.

Total .?.-)71.00

At the Houston convontion a year
ago sul)S('ri))tions amounting to $634
wore roi)orto(l, making a total of $1,20;'5
the trade lias contributed to Miss Jarvis.
The second instalbnent no doubt would
lia\o boon larger lind not the following
letter l)een j^i\cn nut for ]iublication in

a trade paper while the S. A. F. com-
mittee was soliciting contributions:

We wish to call the attention of the trade, and
all other persons using or eontemplating using
Motliers' day for commercial purposes, that the
name and emblem of Mothers' day cannot be
used on any printed matter or articles for sale.
These have been copyrighted and trademarked
to protect the Mothers' day movement from
commercialism, which is breaking it down on
its established lines.

Florists have reaped a rich harvest through the
sale of Mothers' day flowers (while we have been
lamentably handicapped for real necessities with
which to carry on our work), and we must enter
our serious objections to their invading the
printing field, and infringing upon the legal
rights which are used generally for protection
of printed matter.

Annually we issue an official poster, leaflets.
Sunday school programs for the Mothers' day
celebration, and it is expected our friends will
use them, or none. We must have some way of
existing and meeting the constantly increasing
expenses of our work.

We feel if florists understood Mothers' day
better they would gladly cooperate with those
responsible for the development and perpetua-
tion of the celebration, and we trust in the near
future there will be a friendly understanding
to this end. In the meantime, we must ask that
the trade not only withdraw their printed mat-
ter for sale from the market, but be good enough
friends to see that any other infringers do the
same.

This was over the signature of the
Mothers' Day ^International Associa-
tion, of which Miss Jarvis is supposed
to be founder and head.

OBITUARY.

J. W. Goree.

J. W. Goree, owner of a greenhouse
range at Paris, Tex., died at his home
in that city August 13 from a stroke of
apoplexy. Mr. Goree was taken sud-
denly ill August 11 and did not regain
consciousness. He is survived by his
wife, one son, John, and four daughters,
Euth, Pearl, Mabel and Sarah. The
funeral services were held August 15.
The burial was in Evergreen cemetery.

Mr. Goree was born in Georgia and
was 55 years of age. Since his boy-
hood he had lived in Texas. He started
his career as a grower a number of
years ago at Whitewright, Tex., and
nine years ago moved to Paris, where
he erected a greenhouse range. Addi-
tions to his establishment were under
construction at the time of his death.
He recently had visited Chicago and
had purchased a large stock of plants
for the new greenhouses.

JACOBSEN DISAPPEARS— REPORT.

Chicago detectives are attempting to
clear up the mysterious disappearance
of John E. Jacobsen, of Muncie, Ind.,
according to the newspapers.

Mr. Jacobsen came to Chicago about
two weeks ago to purchase supplies,
and August 10 telegraphed his wife to
expect him home the next day. Since
then, the papers sav, she has heard
nothing from him and fears he has met
with foul play.

Atlantic City, N. J. — J. A. Peterson,
of Cincinnati, with Mrs. Peterson and
their daughter, spent liere tlie week
preceding the S. A. F. convention.

Cuyahoga Falls, O. — A newcomer to
the trade hereabouts is F. C. Wilson,
who will grow cut stock for wholesale
and retail sales under the name of
Stowe Tavern Greenhouses.

Butler, Pa. — Prosperity has found
lodgment in Butler, for a time at least,
and as a result William Portmas finds
himself so cram])od for growing space
that the erection of another house is
contemplated.

The Rorists' Review

FLORISTS FOLLOW FLAG

^^iyf^<l^tlt^A-flff^l??^l^ff^lg^ff?^lff^l^

HEEDING THE BUGLE CALL.

Florists in Service.

Florists everywhere are joining the
various military services of the United
States, preparing to go to the battle-
fields of Europe. Some are in the
army as privates, others are either
going to the officers' training camps
or have returned with commissions,
while in some cases they are learning
to become aviators. The Eeview will
be glad to hear of those who have for-
saken the pursuits of peace for the
hazardous duties of a soldier.

Learning to Fly.

Walter Young, of the C. Young &
Sons Co., SI. Louis, Mo., has enrolled
as a student in the United States Signal
Corps at Austin, Tex. He now is in
the midst of the preliminary training
period, at the end of which he will be
assigned to the aviation camp at the
Texas State University.

Gets a Lieutenancy.

W. A. Elder, of the Lord & Burnham
Cleveland office, who enrolled as a mem-
ber of one of the first officers' training
camps, has been commissioned a second
lieutenant. He is on a furlough, but
expects within a week to go to Camp
Sherman, at Chillicothe, O., to assist in
training the new army.

Seeking a Commission.

J. E. Cowgill, of Canton, O., is get-
ting his business affairs in condition so
that he can join the second officers'
training camp at Fort Benjamin Harri-
son, near Indianapolis. Mr. Cowgill
spent several years in the national
guard, and this experience, he expects,
will be of great help to him in securing
a commission.

Physically Fit and Beady.

Frank Eitzenthaler, of Knoble Bros.,
Cleveland, O., has passed his physical
examination and expects soon to be
called into service. Mr. Eitzenthaler is
one of the best known young men in
the trade at Cleveland. He is an en-
thusiastic fisherman and only a few
weeks ago returned from a successful
battle with the black bass in a southern
Ohio lake. Consequently, he will un-
doubtedly enjoy the outdoor life of a
soldier.

Three Brothers May Go.

"They are all I've got, but Uncle
Sam is welcome to them," says Charles
W. Wors, of St. Louis, Mo., regarding
the probability tliat liis three sons will
be in tlie service of the country before
long. Joseph Wors enlisted in the navy
some time ago and is stationed at Bos-
ton, Mass.; Charles Wors, Jr., last week
was accepted for the army, while
Arthur Wors is of military age and
registered, but has not yet been called
for pliysical examination.

Working and Waiting.

Harry Schlechter, of the George H.

Angermueller wholesale house, St.
Louis, Mo., laid off long enough last
week to take his physical examination
for the army. He had been drafted
and did not claim exemption. After
the examiners told him he was fit phys-
ically and had been accepted, Mr.
Schlechter returned to the store, and
is waiting the call to the mobilization
camp.

In Motorcycle Corps.

Edward A. Manda, a son of Joseph A.
Manda, West Orange, N. J., is one of
the many motorcyclists who will speed
for Uncle Sam in Europe when the
American troops now in training at Sea-

£. A. Manda and His MouDt.

girt, N. J., reach the front. He is a
member of the Twenty-ninth division
headquarters troop. As will be seen by
the accompanying illustration, the ma-
chines such as Mr. Manda drives are
supplied with places for a second sol-
dier.

Is Made a Captain.

Joseph H. Barnett, Jr., of Chicago,
111., was given a commission as captain
at the conclusion of the three months
of training at the officers' camp at Fort
Benjamin Harrison, near Indianapolis.
Mr. Barnett studied horticulture at the
University of Illinois, and resigned the
position of city forester and landscape
gardener at Gary, Ind., to become an
army officer.

Jared Moore a Soldier.

One of the members of the trade who
did not wait to be drafted into tlie army
is Jared B. Mooro, son of Frank L.
Moore, Chatham, N. J. He has enlist-
ed and expects soon to be sent to
France.

Boston in Arms.

At least twenty-five members of the
Gardeners' and Florists' Club of Bos-
ton liave enlisted in the army or have
been drafted up to date, and the num-
ber is expected to reach fifty. Among
others are Gordon Fisher, nephew

of Peter Fisher, of the Arnold &
Fisher Co., Woburn, Mass.; Julius
Snyder, of B. A. Snyder & Co., Bos-
ton; H. Heckel, salesman for H. M.
Eobinson & Co., Boston; A. Erickson,
of Budlong's, Boston; J. J. Comley, son
of N. F. Comley, of Lexington, Mass.

Joins Hospital Service.

Eobert V. O'Connor, of South Boston,
Mass., has quit the florists' business and
enlisted in the hospital service of the
army.

PRESIDENT CUTS COAL PBICES.

Reduction $1 Per Ton.

President Wilson took a hand in the
coal situation August 21 and, by execu-
tive order, cut the prices to approxi-
mately $1 per ton less than the maxi-
mums fixed by the Council of National
Defense and the coal operators at their
conference June 28. The action was
taken under the powers given the Presi-
dent by the Lever bill.

Ever since the action of June 28, The
Eeview has contended that the prices
fixed at that time were no reductions,
but merely an affirmation of the prices
that obtained previous to that time and
since the coal operators got together
and raised them January 1. The Ee-
view's position brought protestations
from Francis S. Peabody, the Chicago
coal mine operator, who was the gov-
ernment representative at the June con-
ference. The President's order, the
newspaper reports of the action say,
was a complete surprise to Mr. Peabody.

The prices fixed by the President, he
announced, are based upon the actual
cost of production and "are deemed to
be not only fair and just, but liberal as
well."

The Prices Fixed.

The Federal Trade Commission, at the
President's order, undertook to deter-
mine the production costs in various
producing districts. This report was
submitted to the President last week
and the prices tentatively decreed are
based on these costs, plus a reasonable
percentage of profit.

Albion, Pa. — A new boiler has been
installed at the greenhouses of the
Church Floral Co. A good crop of
cukes came in handy — coal, delivered,
was $.j.8j per ton.

Springfield, 111. — Fire August 17 de-
stroyed the Dome building at the state
fair grounds, in which the flower show
is staged. The loss, estimated at $150,-
000, according to B. M. Davison, super-
intendent of the department of agricul-
ture, will not interfere with plans for
the fair, wliicli will ojicn September 7.

Conflicting Dates.

Just a Word to the jiromoters ot' flower
sliows tliron<rliout the coiiiiti'y. There is

a lik(dil 1 in the ueai' futui'c of a

clasiiiny of dates of larL;e shows in this

country, it wduhl lie better for all eon
cerned if exhibitions could be ar
ranged as the automobile trade does
now, li\- allot meiit of dates. It brinj^s
a hardship upon the cxhibitoi's, both in
the trade and in the premium elasses,
when the shows conllict. Also, where
an out lit' town attendance is looked for,
it would a\oid ha\in<^ ;i number of
liiomineiit exhibitors and trades' peo]ile
absent by atteudiuj;- a show in another
locality.

At the present time, the only large
spring exhibition tliat wi> know of next
year is in ^cw York, and as the dates
are iixed from March 14 to '2\, just
jirior to I'laster, it will be seen that there
will be no conflict there. Thus it can be
seen by a nangement tliere need be no
conflict of the dates of exhiljitions.

Se\-eral times in the ])ast, an instance
being last s]>ring when St. Louis ami
\ew ^'ork exhibitions were being held
at aliont the same dati's, u number of
peo|)le in the trade informed nu' that
they were sorr,\', as they wished to at-
tend both shows. This also was true
in the case of the last big fall show in
Clextdand and Chicago, whose dates
were iilentical.

1 also wish to call attention to the
societ_\''s medals which are a\ailable as
prizes. We are only too glad to offer
them where demand is made upon us.

RESULTS.

We give them. You get them.

We both have them.

Early mums have appeared. They are
to the florists' fall business what the
robin is to spring.

The grower who has valley is for-
tunate, as nearly every city reports a
scarcity.

Because so many people forget, it is
repeated here that anonymous inquiries
cannot receive attention. If subscribers
will sign their full names and addresses,
no incjuiry will go unanswered.

The handsomest piece of printing that
comes to The Review each year is the
report of the board of park commissioners
at Minneapolis. The 1916 volume, just
to hand, is in keeping with the high stand-
ard of its predecessors. It is a >»ook of
164 pages, with many beautiful illustra-
tions.

The annual convention of the Associa-
tion of American Cemetery Sujierintend-
ents will be held at Barre, Vt., August 28
to 31. The Barre Entertainment Associ-
ation, organized to arrange for the con-
vention, announces that the visitors will
be tlie guests of the New Englantl superin-
tendents at Boston the last day of the
convention.

An object which should be in the mind
of every liorist not so situated is the
accumulation of sufficient capital so that
bills can be paid monthly with unfailing
regularity. There is just one way to reach
such indei)endence — liy spending a lit-
tle less than one's income, by conserv-
ing the })rofit. About the hardest thing
most of us have to do is to keep from
spending at least as fast as we make,
but it is worth the effort.

Dutch bulbs, a large part of t"he sea-
son's supply, are on the water, according
to the New York office of the Holland-
America line, which this week notified
several importers that one of its steamers
sailed from Rotterdam August 18 with a
cargo consisting principally of bulbs.

EVERYBODY HAPPY.

An advertiser who has been carrying

a 1-inch business card in The Review

writes to double his space, and says:

The results have been very gratifying. — Mis-
souri Pottery & Supply Co., St. Louis, Mo., Au-
gust 10, 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.

CONFIDENCE.

"The retail florists of the United
States never were more confident of a
good season's business." The speaker
was B. Eschner, president of the M.
Rice Co., Philadelphia, at the New York
convention this week. "I am not talk-
ing generalities," continued Mr. Esch-
ner, ' ' but I have the fact in the most
definite and exact form — in the largest
number, size and value of orders for fall
delivery ever on the books of our house.

"These orders do not come from any
one part of the country, but from all
over the United States. Practically
every traveler we employ has had a
record summer trip. It seems to me to
be the most conclusive evidence that
business will be good with florists this
fall — it isn't possible everybody is
wrong, and they all are buying more
heavily than ever before."

GOOD AND BAD ACCOUNTS.

The receiver for a St. Louis floral
company, in winding up its affairs^ dis-
covered that there were many unpaid
accounts on the books. The fact that
the company had turned its business
over to the court for liquidation would
tend to show that these accounts were
uncollectable. The receiver found that
not only were a majority of these ac-
counts collectable, but many of them
were paid promptly upon notification.

Every account that the florist loses
comes out of his net profits. When credit
is given there is bound to be some loss.
But many times there would be less loss
if the florist would make a continuous
effort to get his money. That old feeling
that to insist on payment might "in-
sult" the customer and drive him from
the store, is not in accord with modern
business methods. No person can be
insulted if asked in a proper manner to
pay an account he has contracted.

Care in extending credit and vigi-
lance in collecting accounts are two
prime requisites in the successful con-
duct of the florists' business.

SUBSTtl^UTION AN ERROR.

In the early days of the trade th«^-e
may have been justification in substi-
tuting when one could not fill an order
exactly as given, but today the case is
entirely different.

When local supjdies were small it may
have been excusable, or even eouimend-
able, to send something that might
])ossibly be iised in place of the stock
ordered. Now, with much larger local
supplies, it is to be presumed that a

man who orders a definite article wants
just that thing; if a substitution is to
be made he can make it himself from the
stock he naturally has on hand or can
get at home. Or, if the stock ordered
is not for immediate consumption, the
man who orders is entitled to the chance
to say whether or not the substitution
will be satisfactory to him. It is not
enough to give value for money re-
ceived. If the exact stock cannot be
supplied, the money should be returned
or a chance given to order a substitute.

The other day a florist sent 2,000 jnilos
for 150 strong 3-inch smilax plants, be-
cause he needed just that. When ho
opened the box it contained 316 smilax
plants from 2-inch pots. They may have
been worth the same monev, but tJiey
did not serve the same purpose— the
buyer had plenty of that grade of stock
right at home.

When a substitute is shipped it fre-
quently is a total loss; the plants are
worthless if returned and the express
company will not accept them for re-
turn unless the victim of the substitu-
tion will guarantee the return charges.

PLAYING ONE HORSE.

Diffused advertising in the several
trade journals of one field is considered
an extravagant method in that there is
a certain amount of overlapping of cir-
culation. It is called the duplication
of advertising, as distinct from the rep-
etition of advertising.

Therefore the cleverest advertisers
concentrate their advertising in the
dominant trade journal of the trade
they want to reach. Instead of back-
ing every horse in the race, they are in-
terested in one, the leading publication,
the one with the largest circulation and,
tlierefore, the most advertising.

Of The Review there have been

printed not less than 12,000 copies

of any issue in the last two years. How

many florists do you think there are

who do not subscribe to The Review?

The Review also leads in advertising

volume because it brings business to the

advertiser at the lowest cost per sale,

like this:

Ple.Tsp do not print my ad of snapdrnjrons in
tlip next issue, as I requested. I am sold out and
the orders are still cominK in. I must say,
for <|uick results, advertise in Tlie Ueview. —
L. H. Curry, Koseville, 111., August ir.. 1917.

When you hear a man complain of the
cost of advertising, you can be ])retty
certain he spends a good bit of money
elsewhere than in The Review.

CHICAGO.

The Market.

Taken by and large, the condition of
the wholesale cut flower market is not
unsatisfactory. It is true that city
trade the last week has lieen exceed-
ingly quiet, but the demand from out of
town, which has been strong and
steady, easily made up for the lethargy
of the loc^l trade.

Probably the ])rliKii)al feature of the
market is the great quantities of asters
which arrived during the last week.
Although it was said that many plants
had been killed this year by stem-rot,
the tremendous quantities which ar-
rived indicate that the damage done
could not have been extensive. Al-
though much inferior quality stock is
arriving, there are certainly enough
good asters to meet the demand, which

We Never Lose Faith in the
Future of Our Business

SSEMBLING the product of dozens of skilled growers, most
of them specialists in their respective lines, provides the
largest supply of high grade Cut Flowers to be found in
any one wholesale house — it makes this the most satis-
factory source of supply any buyer can have.

The steady annual growth of our business, continued
even in an off year, proves we are on the right road.

In our experience it is better to give a man more than he ex-
pects than to have him disappointed after extravagant claims.

But, really, relying on Amling isn't a matter of experiment at
all— many do it, buyers and growers, and most of them are classed
among the shrewdest and most successful men in the trade. Our
prosperity — indeed, our very existence — depends on the fact that
those who buy or sell through Amling's make money by so doing.
It has and it does pay others to rely on Amling — it will pay you.
At least, investigate.

We consider our facilities to be tiie best in Chicago

Our business is large enough to warrant our maintaining the best
possible equipment for handling Cut Flowers and for dispatching orders
promptly, carefully packed. If we knew of any improvement which
could be made in our equipment — or of more capable men than we
employ — we should let nothing stand in the way of improving our service.

In the new season now at hand we shall relax no effort — we have
again increased our space, our stafi" and our supply of good stock —
we want additional business and we shall seek to merit the continued
patronage of everyone who gives us a trial.

Our price list appears on this page of The Review each week. It quotes
everything seasonable in Cut Flowers and Greens, including many varieties
and novelties not to be had elsewhere. This page is worth watching.

KENNICOTT BROS. CO

The True Summer Flower

The Gladiolus is the most beautiful
of all summer flowers. Its soft
combination of colors, the markings
of the petals, cannot be surpassed
by any flower and are rivaled in
beauty only by the exquisite Orchid.

GLADIOLUS of today represents
the work of scores of years of
careful culture and selection.

USE THE GLADIOLUS

Use it for window displays — use it
for baskets— sprays and decorative
work.

It's the flower to use— to sell and
to recommend. No other flower
will pay you so well in the summer.
The quality of other flowers is at
its lowest — while the Gladiolus is at
its best. You will find a large and
most varied supply in Chicago. It
has been my specialty for years —
having exhibited Prize Winning Stock
in the severest competition.

Here are some of my specialties:

America, Beulab, Black GLawk, Dawn,
Francis King, Golden King, Halley,
Niagara, Pink Beauty, Velvet King
and ten others.

is only fair. The best call is for white,
with pink, piyple and lavender next in
order.

American Beauties are commencing
to arrive in slightly larger quantities,
growers commencing to cut from the
new crop. They are in excellent de-
mand. Of the other varieties Russell
still leads. The supply is better than
it has been and the color also has im-
proved. Ophelia and Hoosier Beauty
are next in demand. White Killarney
also sells well and the supply, which is
short, was at times insufficient to meet
the demand. Yellow roses, however, are
not finding a good market. The supply
of roses is mostly of the medium and
shorter grades and these also are in the
greatest demand, as they are utilized
mainly for funeral work. /

A few field carnations of fair quality,
considering the season, are coming in.
The color is mostly white. They sell
fairly well.

Gladioli are plentiful and are selling
satisfactorily. There is also a good
>*upply of piaster lilies, which meet
with a fair demand. Valley is a little
scarce. Orcliids are practically unol)-
tainable. The supply of gypsophila has
decreased considerably as coin])ared
with last week. Tlie "first chrysanthe-
mums of good quality have made tlieir

ROCHESTER, N. Y.

The Market.

The liot weather had an unfavorable
effect on business, but cooler days have
brightened up conditions considerably.
The main feature in business has been
funeral work, with a fair sprinkling of
wedding orders. The principal item of
stock is gladioli; they are in excessive
supply, and apparently all growers are
producing them. The favorable condi-
tions under which they have developed
this season have made them extremely
good. The white varieties, however,
have not done so well. The demand for
roses has been large this week, but the
supply has not been sufficient. White
roses are scarce and the demand for
them is heavy.

The supply of Easter lilies is ade-
quate, but the call is light. The same
may be said of rubrums and gigan-
teums. Asters are scarce, especially
those of good quality, while many show
the effects of the hot weather. The
carnation crop is about over, there
being few flowers on the market. There
are a few good dahlias, but the demand
is poor. Good pompons are arriving
and sell well. Feverfew, achilleas,
snapdragons, candytuft, bachelor's but-
tons, coreopsis and zinnias are plenti-
ful, but the demand for them is chiefly
for cemetery work. Sweet peas are
neither good nor plentiful; good stock
is difficult to procure at any price.
Magnolia leaves and galax are utilized
considerably during the summer season.
The supply of greens meets all demands.
Blooming plants are not plentiful. A
few good gloxinias are seen.

Various Notes.

J. W. Langenbach, of Albion, has re-
turned from an automobile trip through
the Berkshires. He purchased a 7-pas-
senger car and made the initial trip to
Norwich, Conn. His father, F. J. Lan-
genbach, a florist of Norwich, accom-
panied him. The whole trip of more
than 1,500 miles was made without
puncture or engine trouble. J. W. Lan-
genbach has a 100-foot house of sweet
peas, which he hopes to have in the
market during the early days of Decem-
ber Business with him has been good.

The Market.

The cut flowet- market continues dull.
There are plenty of flowers to meet a
light demand. Asters are the principal
flowers; Semple's Branching asters are
fine. Any that remain of the earlier va-
rieties are poor. Most of the gladioli
are poor and the quality is falling off.
The price is low. There has been a fair
demand for Easter lilies. The supply is
smaller and the price has advanced.
Cattleyas are quite scarce at high
prices. Valley is to be had on timely
notice. There are some good Eussells
and Beauties, besides fine flowers of
other roses that stood the summer sun.
A few hydrangeas are sold. Not much
green is apt to accumulate.

The Belgian Mission.

A ripple of activity disturbed the
slumbering summer sea of business
August 20 when the Belgian mission
came to Philadelphia just for a day.
The Chamber of Commerce tendered the
visitors a luncheon of perhaps 600 covers
at the Bellevue-Stratford hotel. The
Manufacturers' Club gave them a dinner
in the evening. The decorations, ar-
ranged by Harry W. Jones, of J. J.
Habermehl's Sons, were of flags of the
two countries, Belgium and our own, of
plants and of cut flowers. In order to
make the visitors feel at home, Mr.
.Tones sent for an extra supply of well
trimmed bay trees. The cut flowers, ar-
ranged in low baskets, were of the Bel-
gian national colors, red, yellow and
black. Can you guess the flowers ? The
red was Gladiolus Mrs. Francis King;
the yellow and black were supplied by
sunflowers. The guests left in the eve-
ning for New York.

important as that return must be. The
aim in writing this column is, and al-
ways has been, to try to benefit my
brother florists, to interest and amuse
them, too, but, most of all, to benefit
them; to tell them any little thing that
may be of value to them; to tell it with-
out fear or favor. This is merely intro-
ductory.

John R. Andre, of Doylestown, is a
successful florist and a successful coal
merchant. Mr. Andre was asked the
question August 16, ' 'Should florists buy
their coal now?" Mr. Andre replied
positively that they should. "There is
always a ])ossibility, " Mr. Andre said,

"of being wrong, but all the indications
jxiint to the danger of waiting. Even
now deliveries are slow. While prices
may go down, it is most unlikely that
they will do so. " '

color and form shown in the French va-
rieties,combined with their grace, makes
, them invaluable for decorative purposes.
The embargo that the railroads have at
times placed on freight and the diliiculty
in securing freight cars,'' Mr. Eisele
continued, "has made increased need
for motor truck delivery. We had ship-
ments of jilants for Cuba and Mexico at
a time when conilitions were particu-
larly bad. We sent the boxes of plants
by motor, direct to the docks in New
York, insuring their catching the boats
in time. There have been cases where,
with an embargo in effect on one rail-
road and a shortage of freight cars on
the other railroad, we have used our own
trucks for long-distance delivery, with
good results.

The Club Meeting.

Monday, August 13, the Gardeners'
and Florists' Club held one of the best
attended meetings it has had in a long
time, the reason for this being the spe-
cial business for the evening. At the
July meeting the question, "Should the
production of cut flowers for the season
be limited on account of war condi-
tions?" was made the special order of
business for this meeting, and each
member of the club was notified.

As one sat and listened to the dis-
cussion pro and con, one could not help
but notice the spirit of optimism that
is steadily growing among florists over
the future of the florists' business.
Everyone who spoke on the subject re-
ported that up to this time his booki
showed a larger volume of business
done, but with profits diminished. This
naturally brought out the fact that it
is costing the grower more to produce
flowers and the retailer more to sell
them, bringing the question down to a
readjustment of prices.

It w^ most interesting to note the
deep thought and study that had been
given to this question by everyone. It
is a thing which I feel sure will be of
great value to everyone in the trade,
for this investigation has given every
man a deeper insight into his business.
The unanimous opinion was that each
man should grow all the stock he could;
that he should make it a point to elim-
inate inferior quality and to increase
the selling price of his commodity in
proportion to tlie increase in the pro-

vaults, of which there are two. One
of these, 15x30 feet, was filled with
rubrum and Harrisii lilies and gladioli.
There were 1,000 each of the lilies and
6,000 of the gladioli, with the day's
morning cut still to come. I remarked
to Mr. Perry that this was a lot of stock
to move in half a day, but he informed
me that there were orders on the books
then for half of it and that at closing
time Saturday they would be cleaned
up. In the other vault roses, asters,
hydrangeas. Golden Glow and a little
of everything were to be seen.

At tlie establishment of tlie Balti-
more Wholesale Florist & Supply Co.
some fine asters and Harrisii were to
be seen. H. Glick reported business
good in all stock for funeral work.

At the Leo Xiessen Co. store I found
H. F. Ekas. He told me last week that
he would be off on his vacation, but tliis
was a case of where "the best laid
schemes o' mice an' men gang aft
aglcy, " for they were so busy, with a
bookkeeper in the hospital, that Mr.
McKissick found it necessary to recall
him.

Busy times in the middle of August!
Yet some i)eoi)le have fears for the fu-
ture of the florists' business. In a
lifetime's connection with the florists'
business I liave never seen a summer
during which such a volume of business
lias been done by florists as this one.
Of course, I realize that there is a rea-
son for this, that tlicre has not been a
week this summer tliat two or three
prominent people did not die, and
added to this lias been the great number
of war weddings. Docs not this ex-
traordinary midsummer business dem-
onstrate clearly tliat flowers are being
used for these occasions despite tlie
war, and perhaps more profusely than
formerly? At every place tlie report
was the same: "We have a war wed-
ding for tliis week."

Ill tliese turl)uleiit times it gives me
pleasure to report some greenhouse
building. P. C. Erdinan is erecting a
range of three houses, eacli 28x150, out
on Taylor avenue, and this range can
be depended ujion for some fine sweet
peas next winter.

Kobert L. Graham left last week for
Niagara Falls, returning via New York
for the convention. He will spend tlie
remainder of August at Atlantic City.
His daughters, the Misses Margaret,
Jessie and Mabel, have returned from
a ten days' vacation^ at tlie seaside re-
sort.

Baltimore's trade seems to have been
most fortunate regarding the 'draft. I
have not heard of a young man among
florists who has been taken. Otto H.
Guerth has an idea of what it is to work
for Uncle Sam during war times. Since
June 5 he has been secretary for the
exemjition board of the Fourth district,
which meets in his store at 733 West
Baltimore street.

NEW YORK.

The Market.

Last week was quiet in the cut
flower market and convention week
opened equally so. There has been a
big surplus of asters and gladioli. Few
American Beauties are arriving and
most of those are small. The good
flowers find ready sale at prices up to
$25 per hundred. Hadley roses have
arrived and sold last week for from $6
to $8 per hundred. Some fine Russells
brought $10 per hundred. Most of the
roses, however, are small and open
quickly. These sell at from 50 cents to
$2 and $3 per hundred. The demand
for good roses is greater than the sup-
ply-

The market is bare of carnations.
Lilies are in abundance. Longiflorums
sold August 18 at $2.50 per hundred.
Some of the finest flowers brought as
high as $5 per hundred. There is little
call for rubrums. Valley still is scarce
and $8 per hundred was offered, but the
supply was not sufficient for the de-
mand. The few perfect gigas that ar-
rived brought $1.50 and $2 each. The
latter is said to be a record quotation.

The market is overloaded with the
usual variety of summer flowers. There
are fine flowers of Hydrangea panicu-
lata grandiflora in the market. Golden-
rod is at its best. There also are water
lilies, sunflowers, daisies and cosmos;
in fact, anything and everything from
outdoors.

Various Notes.

Many vacationists have returned
ruddy and healthy, and in fine condi-
tion for the coming season.

New York florists are putting their
stores in condition for the coming sea-
son by redecorating and making other
repairs.

A. J. Guttman celebrated his fortieth
birthday August 15.

George O. Sullivan has returned from
a vacation of two months spent at
Spring Valley, N. Y.

Clarence Slinn is receiving some fine
Sylvia and Burgess dahlias

George W. Crawbuck last week at-
tended the dinner of the Rotary Club,
of which he is a member.

The Cadieux Co. decorated the Majes-
tic hotel for a wedding August 15, and
this week has a similar decoration at
Plainfield, N. J.

J. J. Coan is again back at his head-
quarters, 115 West Twenty-eighth
street. The store has had its annual
redecoration. Walter Singleman, Mr,
Coan's head salesman, returns from his
honeymoon trip this week.

C. "C. Trepel's store at Fifty-ninth
street and Lexington avenue will be one
of the largest in the world when com-
pleted. Fifty marble tables will be
used for the display of cut flowers and
plants. On the roof, additions are be-
ing made to the show houses and green-
houses. Mr. Trepcl has purchased the
store adjoining and mirror effects on
a large scale are contemplated. He
expects that everything will be com-
plete bv October 1.

The Walter R. Siebrecht Co. will be
succeeded this week by the Barney B.
Jacobs Co. Prominent in the new com-
pany are Barney B. Jacobs, Samuel
Salsberg and Mary E. Persico. Mr.
Siebrecht will retain an interest in the
company. Messrs. Jacobs and Salsberg
have had some twenty years' experience

THE original Album of
Designs was published
in response to many requests
from florists who felt the
need for an up-to-date book
that could be used in taking
orders for Funeral Designs,
Wedding Decorations and
Bouquets, Table Decorations and all cut flower
work where it was not practicable to show the
customer the finished article as it would be

per
dozen

when ready for use. With
the publication of this album
it became possible to show
the finished work in

beautifully printed pictures.
The first edition sold like
hot cakes, a second and third
edition went quickly. Now
a fourth edition is off the press. Everything
is in it — all the standard designs and many
new pieces.

96 pages, nearly 300 designs and decorations, beautifully printed on

Dahlias have come upon the stage
(luring the last ten days and now play
a leading part. Gladioli, asters and
Easter lilies are plentiful enough, but
outside of these and hydrangea blooms
there is little variety. Counter sales
have been few, but war weddings and
funeral work have Icept some of the
stores busy.

W. H. Witlieridge smilingly remarks
that he is content with business.
Funerals have been more numerous this
summer, it seems.

George Penek has returned from his
vacation at Asbury Park. Business has
been quiet at the Penek store, but it
averages better than that of last sum-
mer.

Word has been received at Millburn,
X. J., of the death at Jupiter, Fla., of
Mrs. Sarali Wilson, wife of John Wil-
son, after a few liours' illness of typhoid
fever. The Wilsons were residents of
Millburn and Short Hills for many
years. Mr. Wilson's range at Short
Hills was completely destroyed by a
snow storm four years ago, entailing a
loss of $40,000. Soon afterward Mr.
and Mrs. Wilson removed to Florida,
where Mr. Wilson started a florists'
business. Besides her husband, Mrs.
Wilson is survived by several cliildren.

well; in fact, I doubt if there have
ever been better asters grown in Nash-
ville. Some of the florists are growing
their stock in lath houses, and this
seems to be just the thing needed in
this climate. Growers farther south
may find that this method will solve
their aster j)roblem.

Eoses continue scarce and, of course,
there are no carnations. Gladioli are
plentiful and of excellent quality. Busi-
ness was good last week, thanks to
funeral work.

refurnishing its store. A large balcony

for storage purposes. This doubles the
floor space of the salesroom and per-

week on account of an operation, i

The Club Meeting.

The Lancaster County Florists' Club
was entertained by B. F. Barr, Thurs-
day evening, August 16, at his country
home. More than thirty were in at-

tendance. Inspection of the Barr
grounds revealed fine plantings of
conifers and specimen shrubbery. Con-
siderable space is' being planted to
shade trees, spaced for specimen stock.
The fourteen acres of tobacco, almost
ready for housing, is not surpassed in
Lancaster county. The registered Hol-
stein cows are among the finest.

President H. A. Schroyer called the
meeting to order on the porch, after
cigars had been passed to all. Fred
Ritchey gave an interesting account of
a 1600-mile auto trip through the New

England states. Arthur Nicssen, of
Philadelphia, who has been visiting
many of the growers througliout the
county in his car, was present and
made some remarks. He thinks the
prospects for the florists' business for
the coming year are bright and says
that his company is preparing to do the
largest amount of business in its his-
tory. He pointed out two valuable
points to growers, that they should
keep a sharp eye on any unnecessary
expense and that they sliould grow the
best stock possible.

The Market.

Not much can be said about the cut
flower market these days. Two items
continue dominant, gladioli and, asters.
Prices on the first-named are low, even
for fancy spikes of Panama, Chicago
White, America and other good sorts.
Asters are not so good in quality as
they have been. The early sorts are
on the wane and heavy thunder storms
have damaged many. Prices average
fully as good as in previous years, how-
ever. Lilies, both longiflorums and
speciosums, are abundant and cheap.
Carnations are out of the market and
roses are not of good quality, but they
are selling somewhat better than they
did. Valley is scarce and high-priced.
Cattleyas are almost unprocurable, but
some white phalsenopsis is available.
A few gardenias of good quality are
coming in. Sweet peas are short-
stemmed, but in demand for wedding
bouquets, which are having a steady
call this summer. Outside of a few
perennials, such as liatris and aconi-
tums and some everlastings, there are
hardly any other flowers coming in, and
anyone having calls for choice flowers
has hard work to fill orders satisfac-
torily.

Various Notes.

At the store of D. & E. J. Welch
business for July and August has been
decidedly better than a year ago. I
am sorry to report that E, J. Welch
recently met with a painful accident
at Old Orchard, Me. He was below an
automobile which was temporarily hors
de combat, and when the machine
started up suddenly two wheels passed
over Mr. Welch's legs. He sustained
in addition an injury to his spine. The
accident spoiled his vacation in con-
siderable measure, but, fortunately, he
is now convalescing nicely.

Among the numerous local men con-
nected with the trade who have been
drafted are Gordon Fisher, nephew of
Peter Fisher, of the Arnold & Fisher
Co., Woburn; Julius Snyder, of B. A.

At Penn's both w^edding and funeral

August 18, for the vpedding of Miss
Whipple, daughter of Sherman Whipple,
a noted local attorney, the bride's
bouquet was composed entirely of val-
ley, August 20, for another large
wedding, white phalaenopsis and val-
ley were used, and for still another wed-
ding, August 23, orchids and valley were
again used. There were church and
house decorations for each of these
large weddings.

William H. Elliott is cutting a fine

Beauty and Hadley roses. The last

Elliott prefers to rest in the Maine

The coal situation remains quite

none of their next season's supply and

rather more freely than bituminous and
there is not a great difference in the
prices of the two varieties.

Among visitors last week we were
glad to welcome J. W. Duncan, for-
merly assistant superintendent of parks
liere, for some years in charge of the
Spokane, Wash., park system. Mr.
Duncan will attend the New York con-

Tliomas A. Havemeyer, of New York;
Adolpli Miller, of the Dc Kalb Nurseries,
Norristown, Pa., and William Graham,
of Greenwich, Conn.

Norris F. Comley is cutting a good
grade of roses now. He has Francis
Scott Key, Kod Kadiance, Stanley,
Ward, Iloosier Beauty and Sliawyer, in
addition to the Killarneys.

Henry M. Robinson & Co. are keep-
ing quite busy this month and are re-
ceiving fine shipments of roses, asters,
gladioli, sweet peas and other season-
able llowers. They are also active in
tlicir large sundries department.

Wheeler & Co., of Waban, are cutting
a nice lot of l*hala»no])sis amabilis,
which are in demand for weddings.
They are the only local growers send-
ing in good gardenias. They have a
splendid lot of cattleyas and many of
the lal)iatas have their buds prominent
in the sheaths.

William Sim, of Cliftondale, is one
of the heaviest local shippers of asters
at present. His aster crop will soon

Freesias have sold extremely well.
Stocks of vegetable seeds were never
so low. Hardly a i)ea or bean now is
ol)tainable at any of the stores and,
with every probability of an increased
call in 1918, dealers wonder where
they will be able to secure sufficient
seeds. Many growers, both commer-
cial and private, are saving vegetable
seeds this season in anticipation of
shortages.

A. H. Hews & Co. have not prepared
any stock of azalea ])ots this season,

gium are remote. They are uncertain

whether to accumulate stocks for bulbs
or not, considering the uncertainty of
any coming in from Holland. Their
season so far has been a good one,
labor troubles being the great draw-
back.

The . Janiten & Wollrath Co., of
Clematis Brook, have a splendid lot of
Cincinnati,' Lorraine, Mrs. Heal and
other winter begonias, in addition to
cyclamens, primulas, poinsettias and
other plants. The company has prac-
tically transformed its establishment,
which was formerly devoted entirely to
roses, now specializing in pot plants, in
which they are undoubtedly successful.

Boston and vicinity sent a fair repre-
sentation to the New York convention,
the majority preferring the water route.
Memories of uncomfortable climatic
conditions at the convention here three
years ago and a fear of similar discom-
fort in New York kept not a few at
home.

James Wheeler has finished cutting
liis early asters, but has a large batch
of midseason and late varieties in fine
condition. His carnations now are well
established and starting to flower.

No finer gladioli are coming into the
market than the Panama and America
handled bv M. Liebman for Peter
Hylen, of Randolph. W. N. C.

ST. LOUIS, MO.

The Market.

Summer dullness still holds the mar-
ket, and aside from the morning sales
tliere is little doing. There was much
stock shipped in, with but little that
could be called first-class. There were
quantities of asters and gladioli. Car-
nations are few, and those that arrive
are of poor quality and little in demand.
Roses also are poor and show the effects
of the hot weather. Hydrangeas and
tuberoses are not so plentiful as usual
at this time of the year. Valley and
orchids continue scarce. The few
Easter and auratum lilies sell at sight.
Other flowers in the market are Shasta
daisies, snapdragons, cornflowers, calen-
dulas and gypsophilas. Some firtc smilax
arrived last week and there is plenty
of asparagus and galax.

ciation held its annual picnic August 16
at upper Creve Coeur lake. The day
was fine, the attendance large and every
one had a good time. It was agreed
that it was the best outing the asso-
ciation ever has held. Many St. Louis
florists also attended.

Tliere was a program of sports for
the young and old, and Deutschmann's
band furnished music for the dancers,
while the big lake attracted the fisher-
men, the banks being lined all day.

Among the winners of the contests
were Mrs. Hugo Werner, who won a
stein; Mrs. W. C. Smith and W. J.
Pilcher, the dancing contest; Mrs. Will-
iam Meier, a clock, the prize in the
guessing contest; Miss Edwards, daugh-
ter of William Edwards, the carnation
grower, the prize in the ball tlirowing
contest, and Arthur Lamport, of the
Windier force, won a liam in tlie horse-
shoe pitcliing contest.

The baseball game between the
wholesalers and growers was enjoyed
by the crowd. The game ended in a
victory for the growers by a score of
4 to 1, but tlie wholesalers put the
blame for their defeat on W. A. Rowe,
wlio acted as umpire.

Various Notes.

The opening of the new Post-Dispatch
building August 13 created considerable
work for the florists. The office was
filled with floral designs. A 10-foot
vase with a top-dressing of 100 Amer-
ican Beauty roses from Vandervoort 's
iloral department, and a 10-foot horse-
shoe nia(le by Grimm & Gorly, were the
largest among the many seen.

George Waldbart and John Hoolihan
made an automobile trip as far south
as De Soto August 12, visiting the
members of the trade in that section.
Count von Hoffmann cut his vacation
trij) short and returned to the store
last week.

It seems probable that three sons of
Charles Wors will see service before the
war is over. Joseph Wors already is in
the navy and is stationed at Boston;
Charles, Jr., was accepted for the army
last week, and Arthur has been drafted,
but not yet summoned for examination.
Mr. Wors says: "They are all I've

The Market.

The local growers are unable to sup-
ply the demands for quality stock, and
the shipments of roses received from
Chicago and Fort Wayne are quickly
disposed of. Beauties are of good qual-
ity and find ready buyers. Orchids and
valley are steady in supply and de-
mand. Gladioli, asters and carnations
are inclined to drag somewliat, only the
best quality stock being in demand.
Sweet peas are becoming better in qual-
ity, but are not in demand. Harrisii
and rubrum lilies have shortened up in
quantity, being more steady. A good
stock of ferns, greens and smilax is to
be had.

Club Meeting.

The Detroit Florists' Club held its

The bowling teams are to meet the
first week in September to elect cap-
tains and draw up rules for the season.
Joseph Streit was appointed to engage
the Broadway alleys, beginning the
middle of September. The Detroit
bowling team will bowl the first of
three games with the Cleveland team
during the Cleveland flower show.

Another topic of great interest was
the planning of F. T. D. week in De-
troit for the first week of October. A
number of F. T. D. members and their
employees, and a number of supply
salesmen, are expected. J. F. Sullivan
and Harry Taylor were appointed a
committee to urge the retailers to put
in special F. T. D. window displays.
Samuel Seligman, of Wertheimer Bros.,
New York, offered a cash prize of $25
for the best window display, out-of-
town F. T. D. members to be the judges,
and at least ten entries to be made.

The Denver seedsman, C. K. Root, pres-
ident of the Colorado Seed Co., visited
Chicago tradesmen last week.

A SCARCITY is said to be developing in
Wisconsin peas, although it cannot as yet
be ascertained how great the shortage will
be. Canning operations in this district
have been completed.

Arnold Eingier, on his return from a
recent trip to Wisconsin, where he in-
spected the crops, reports that the potato
yield should be heavy, as the crop appears
to be in excellent condition.

The Adams Seed Co., of Decorah, la.,
which commenced business August 7 of

their willingness to cooperate with the
government to tlie fullest extent to in-
sure a full pack by canners next season,

DUTCH BULBS ARE AFLOAT.

Practically all doubts as to the ar-
rival of a large part of the season 's
supply of Dutch bulbs has been re-
moved. August 20 the New York office
of tlie Holland-America line notified
certain large importers tliat one of its
steamers sailed from Rotterdam August
18, its cargo consisting jirincipally of
bulbs. In the natural course of events,
the steamer should roach New York in
about two weeks.

PROPOSED CATALOGUE TAX.

Now is the time for seedsmen and
others to write to their representatives
and senators in Congress in strong jiro-
test against that part of the proposed
Senate war revenue bill which, if it be-
comes law, would require a stamp tax
on all catalogues weighing more than
four ounces and sent by j)arcel post.
The bill provides. for a tax of 1 cent on
every ]tarcel jiost sliipment weighing
more than four ounces — 1 cent for each
25 cents or fraction thereof represented
in the jiostage cliarged for transporta-
tion.

It is the consensus that com])aratively
few business men would object to a tax
on their parcel post shipments of mer-
chandise, on the proposition that a tax
on finished business is fair; but a
strenuous objection is being registered

Snapdragon Seed

It is a proved fact that, for profit and easy
doing, there is no greenhouse plant that will
equal good Snapdragon. They reauire very lit-
tle attention and seed sown now will yield con-
tinuous blooms from February until July,
giving a bumper crop at Memorial, the great
special flower day.

Start some seedlings today and be ready to

fill all empty space after mums are done. It is

far better and cheaper to grow your own plants.

BURPErS SWEET PEAS

NEW EARLY OR WINTER-FLOWERING SPENCERS.

With a keen appreciation of the splendid future of the Sweet Pea, and par-
ticularly of New Early Winter-flowering or Long Season Spencers, we began
crossing the Spencer-flowering Sweet Peas with the Early or Winter-flowering
Grandiflora as far. back as the summer of 1909. Later we have been using that
magnificent Australian variety, "Yarrawa," to a great extent in our crosses.

We now offer with the greatest confidence the splendid novelties listed be-
low. These are all true, thoroughly fixed in type and are a great improvement
on the various colors.

From sowing made under glass in August they may be flowered in time
for Thanksgiving. September sowing will produce the finest of flowers by
Christmas. If grown in the open they flower several weeks ahead of the Stand-
ard or Summer-flowering Spencers, and with proper treatment continue to bloom
quite as long as that type.

Nine of these varieties were awarded nineteen Certificates of Merit by tlie fol-
lowing:

against the stamp tax on catalogues in
that it is a burden on business in the
making, a thrust at an effort to promote
business.

The various industries now are bring-
ing pressure to bear on members of Con-
gress in an effort to have catalogues
exempted from the proposed tax, re-
gardless of weight, and every seedsman
who believes that a tax of $10 on every
1,000 catalogues he sends by parcel
post would be unjust, can do his part
by joining in the chorus of protests.

W. F. Therkildson, chairman of the
postal laws committee of the American
Seed Trade Association, is author of
the following letter to Hon. F. M. Sim-
mons, chairman of the Senate commit-
tee of finance:

My dear Sir:

As clinimiiui of tlio |)ostal laws committee of
the American Seed 'J'rade Association. I want
to enter a vitforous ])rotest against tlie section
of H. It. 4200 as oil i)aKe 71 of tliat bill, also
to the anicndinent as noted in calendar lOfi.
report KW. i>aj;e 1.3, Schedule A, title of War
Stain]) Tax.

This, we understand, exempts catalogues or
parcel post matter under four ounces. Now.
we lijive no objection to pa.viiiK our just share
of taxes on hiisiness done or business alread.v
created, hut we do object to the proposed ruling
of the post office that this should appl.v to cata-
logues. The catalogue of the mail order house
or any other house that does a part of its busi-
ness tiy mail, acts as the salesman. It is an
effort to maintain business at normal durinc
these troublous times. No man should have his
effort to create business taxed, and this is ex-
actly wliat the taxation of catalogues means.
It will result in just the opposite from what the
post office <lesires, because, many cataloRues will
be discontinued or they will not be sent through
the mails. They will be shipped by express or
freight and distributed by carriers. The govern-
mant will be deprived of the postal reventio: also
of the reveniie obtained from the money order
business created by the catalogues; also of the
revenue of the outgoing parcel post packages
because of the lack of business; and. in all, it
is a most unjust proposition.

As stated alxive. we are perfectly willing to
pay our share of taxes on business that is al-

ready done or orcntod, l)ut upon problematical
business or business that lias not been made, it
seems to us to be an unfair measure.

If this amendment can so be wonlcd as to
exclude cataloKues, we certainly have no ob-
jection to payiuK the postage upon the parcel
l)ost packages that are the results of the business
cieated i)y the catalogue.

This clause apparently does not embrace the
catalogues because they are third-class matter,
and beyond eight ounces the.v are handled as
parcel post. If this new provision pulls them
down to four ounces, it will certainly work a
great hardsliip not only on the house tliat is-
sues catalogues, but also upon every line of
business that has to do with the making of the
catalogue: naniel.v, the i)rinting business, the
photo-engraving busint-ss. the ink business, the
paper business, the lithograph business and all
(if tlieir kindred industries, as well as the various
labor organizations that find their employment
in the Miannfacture of catalogues.

I trust you can see the seriousness of this
proposed tax.

marks ($300,000) on condition that
buyers shall make their remittances to
a German bank and that the sellers

AMERICAN BULB

NOW is the time to place your order for bulbs you will
need this fall. The American Bulb Co. provided
for a liberal supply to take care of large demands, antici-
pating large business this winter. Paper Whites from
France and Formosum lilies from Japan are now en route.

AMERICAN BULB CO. PRICES HAVE NOT IN-
CREASED, BECAUSE WE CONTRACTED FOR OUR
BOAT SPACE LAST FALL AT THE LOW, NORMAL
RATE. IMPORTERS WHO DELAYED PROVIDING
FOR BOAT SPACE MUST CHARGE MORE FOR
THEIR BULBS OR DELIVER A CHEAPER GRADE.

American Bulb Co. bulbs are the best bulbs obtainable. Our
sales on lilies since last August passed the million mark. French
bulbs, including Paper Whites, Grand Soleil d'Or (Yellow PSpt****
Whites), Roman Hyacinths and French Trumpet Majors, have
reached several iflillions. Is this not evidence enough, with a few of
our customers' recommendations, proving that we have the goods,
to assure you of good results? Write us for our special price list on
our high quality bulbs.

Sawtelle, Gal. — Geraniums have had
a large sale this year, according to
George B. Culver, of Los xVngeles, who
has five acres here devoted to the busi-
ness.

LOS ANGELES, CAL.

The Market.

There has been much of the cheaper
grades of funeral work during the week
and it has helped to clean up some of
the surplus stock. Some of the retail-
ers report big business, but the general
run of trade is only fair. If full forces
were working, business would seem
quiet, but there still are a num-
ber away on vacations. Regarding the
quality of the stock, roses are still poor
and thin. There are few coming from
outdoors and none of them is perfect.
An improvement is noted in dahlias and
carnations. Asters are gox)d. Gla-
dioli are less plentiful, but finei in
color. For large decorations Golden
Glow, goldenrod and Amaryllis Bella-
donna are good, and there are still more
good rubrum lilies. The wild tiger lily
is shown in some of the stores, and is
pretty, but it does not sell well.

There are no flowering plants fit for
sliii)ping, though a few gloxinias and
tuberous begonias are displayed. Bos-
ton ferns, palms, aspidistras and rub-
bers are about the only pot stock that
can be shipped. In greens, adiantum,
]»lumosus and huckleberry are most in
demand, with the gypsophilas to help
out in this direction.

Various Notes.

Bassett & Washburn's Pacific coast
branch is prospering, according to E.
B. Washburn, who has charge of it.
Mr. Washburn says that the young ken-
tias, whicli are mostly grown, arc doing
well, the fine climate of Sierra Madre
evidently suiting them.

.lames Taylor, superintendent of the
Homer Laughlin ranch at Hollywood, is
walking on air tliese days. Eigiit and
one-half jiounds of boy arrived the
other day to perpetuate the family
name and to inherit the ancestral acres.
Both Mrs. Taylor and son are doing
finolv.

Last reports from Fred Sperry, man-
ager of the L. A. Floral Co., were that
the ojicration on his eye had been suc-
cessful and that he had left the hos-
pital. He hopes to be able to get around
in a few days.

S. Murata & Co. are handling quan-
tities of gladiolus bulbs. Shi])ping
business in cut flowers still is a little on
the dull side, especially for the cheaper
grade of stock.

C. J. Groen, of Montebello, was mar-
ried August 14 at the Odd Fellows' hall,

Los Angeles, to Miss Laviuia Malni-
quist, and they left for a trip to Cata-
lina. This, is to be followed' by a trip
to the mountains, and after that Mr.
and Mrs. Groen will be at home to their
friends at the pretty bungalow Mr.
Groen has built at his place at Monte-
bello. Mr. Groen has long been known
to the trade here, first in connection
with Howard & Smith and then in part-
nership with John Polder, as Polder &
Groen.

The Redondo Floral Co. has been busy
with funeral work. Mr. Knopf is bring-
ing in samples of lemons from his Santa
Ana ranch and Mr. Borden is still put-
ting in all his spare time gardening.

Some attention-winning windows are
being arranged by the Southern Cali-
fornia Cut Flower Co. at its Seventh
street store.

J. Ginsburg, of Salt Lake City, is
among our visitors this week.

■ Fi^'^d Howard, of Howard & Smith,
says prospects are bright for the nurs-
ery and landscape business, they having
big contracts closed and in process of
being closed. Mr. Chafee, manager
here, has joined the colors. The cut
flower and plant department is keeping
up well, according to J. Grover, who
runs this end.

Clarence Purdy, for five years on the
staff of O. C. Saake, has purchased the
store and stock of L. H. Freeman, of
212 West Fourth street, and will run
the business himself from now on. Mr.
Purdy is a hustler and all his friends
in the business will wish him the best of
luck. It will be recalled that Mr. Wil-
son purchased the store front Mr. Free-
man, but this was a cross-deal in some
real estate transactions and Mr. Wilson,
not being a florist, was anxious to get
rid of his responsibilities there.

H. R. Richards.

SAN FRANCISCO.

The Market.

Chrysanthemums are beginning to ar-
rive in quantities sufficient to make an
impression on the market. Early Frost,
Early Rose and Golden Glow are the
three most plentiful, but the supply as
yet is not equal to the demand. So far
everything has cleaned up from day to
day at rather firm prices. With nothing
else of a competitive nature in exces-
sive supply, asters are enjoying a splen-
did <!alli. both for out-of-town shipments
and local orders. All colors show good
quality, but the darker shades do not
take so well as the lighter ones. They
seem to sell in the order named — white
first, then lavender, pink, purple and
red. Carnations are scarce and poor.
One or two of the growers have started
to bring in the new crop, however, so
plenty of good blooms are due soon.
Roses are improving gradually, but
there is room for more improvement.
Prima Donna shows up well and Russell
is good again. Onlyk few American
Beauties are aTriving.

Amaryllis is coming satisfactorily
and quite a bit of it is being shipped.
Rubrum lilies are plentiful and all that
can be desired in quality. They consti-
tute an important feature of the ship-
ping business and also figure promi-
nently locally. There seems to be no let-
up in zinnias. The offerings are liberal
and many find an outlet, but the im-
pression is that too many were pro-
duced this year for the good of the mar-
ket. Dahlias are much in evidence and
gladioli are still in ample supply and
good in quality. Giant gaillardias main-
tain their popularity with remarkable
persistency. The shortage of orchids is
proving a serious handicap at the lead-
ing stores, and there are not enough

age. In flowering plants the principal
offerings are gloxinias and cockscomb.

Various Notes.

B. M. Joseph used eighteen dozen
yellow chrysanthemums in a decoration
at the Cliff House August 14. Fred
Bertrand, manager of Joseph's, reports
a stronger demand for dahlias than in
former years. He has been unable to
fill all orchid orders of late.

V. Podesta, of Podesta & Baldocchi,
lias no complaints to make about busi-
ness. Tliis firm is liandicapped more or
less by the shortage of orchids and the
limitod supply of valley. In order to
curtail the demand, these flowers are
kept out of sight at the store.

J. B. Pagano has resumed his duties
with Pelicano, Rossi & Co. after a pleas-
ant vacation at Geyserville. A. J. Rossi
writes from Santa Barbara, Cal., that
he is convalescing nicely and will re-
turn liome in a short time.

Mrs. David Liehtenstein, of the Ter-
minal Florists, reports much funeral
work and sufficient transient trade to
make business total up well for this
time of the year.

A. J, Clarke came down from Port-
land, Ore., last week, accompanied by
Mrs. Clarke.

The United Flower & Supply Co. is
doing AvcU with strawflovvers, especially
amarantus. The demand for chrysan-
tliemums leaves no ground for com-
l>laint, according to Mr. Onishi.

Alark Ebel, of Sacramento, paid a
visit to the local trade last week and
reported business good in the capital
eity, notwithstanding the hot weather.

Fxliibition space is being rapidly al-
lotted for the dahlia show, w^hich will
be held in the Palace hotel September
3 to 5. Arrangements have been made
for more than .^,000 running feet of
space to accommodate the display.

flower stores did not close, but even this
was not permitted to mar the day's
pleasure. More than 300 people were
present, the^ Oakland and San Bafael
tracfc Wiitg^ell represented as well as
San Francisco. Many arrived at the
picnic grounds before 11 o'clock and
few left before 6 in the evening. Every-
me brought lunch and a 7-piece orches-
jra was provided to furnish music for
dancing.

The Market.

There can be no complaint as to busi-
ness, the retailers declaring that so far
the month of August has been better
than last year. All stock that reaches
the market is readily sold; in fact, much
more could be used if the growers would
send it in.

Various Notes.

Martin Eeukauf, representing H.
Bayersdorfer & Co., of Philadelphia,
Pa., was in Portland last week calling
on the trade.

The Canadian Bank of Commerce
formal opening August 13 called for
•many artistic baskets, designs and bou-
quets.

A. E. Clarke has returned from Cali-
fornia, bringing with him some fancy
Celosia Pride of Castle Gould and some
fine caladiums. At the Clarke greefi-
houses they are having considerable
trouble with leaf curler.

The Swiss Floral Co. has enlarged the
basement of its office for the storage of
fuel. The company's houses all are
planted with chrysanthemums, carna-
tions, ferns and pot plants. There is
also a fine strain of petunias, which the
manager, J. G. Bacher, has been hybrid-
izing and selecting during the last eight
years. All of theMpetunias are single
ruflfied blooms, except Elks' Pride,
which is a true dark purple with a plain
edge. The pink shades are Scarlet
Beauty, Pride of Portland and Irving-
ton Beauty.

R. L. Scott, who recently left the
Portland Seed Co., has opened a flower
store in Tillamook, Ore. He moved
one of his greenhouses to that place
and has put it on a claim he haa six
miles from town.

Growers fear that there is going to be
a shortage of stock because of the ab-
sence of German seeds, the failure of
the Holland bulbs to arrive and the
high cost of those from Japan.

With labor demanding $3 per day and
the cost of fuel so high, the outlook is
not bright. W. G. W.

TACOMA, WASH.

The bright sunshine gave way to
showers the latter part of last week and
this, if it continues, will not tend to
improve the asters and peas. Peas
are still in good condition and fill a big
demand. Asters are arriving in suffi-
cient quantities for the present demand
and are of fairly good quality. Some
fair carnations are on the market, but
are not in strong demand. Marigolds
and bachelor's buttons give a dash of
color to the otherwise quiet tints of
asters and peas. The demand for wed-

LUPINES FOR WINTER BLOOMS.

Will you kindly have your specialist
give some advice on growing lupines
under glass for winter blooming?

H. G.— Mich.

The annual varieties of lupines can be
successfully grown for winter flowering.
By sowing seeds in benches now, flowers
may be had for Christmas and the
plants will continue to bloom for a con-
siderable time. The earliest bloomer is
a pink sort which goes by a variety of
names, including roseus hybridus, Pink
Beauty, Pink Perfection, etc. This is
of a clear pink color, just what the mar-
ket demands. Sow half a dozen seeds
of this variety in small patches a foot
apart each way, as you would sow mignon-
ette. Thin out to three or four.
Avoid overhead syringing, especially in
dark weather. Keep the soil con-
stantly stirred. Mildew and stem-rot
trouble lupines in midwinter. For mil-
dew, dust with sulphur. To avoid stem-

rot, water carefully. Sowings made
about Thanksgiving will give a good
crop in March and April.

The varieties mutabilis and Hartwegii
are good for greenhouse culture, but do
not come into bloom as early as hybridus
roseus. They must be planted farther
apart, two feet each way not being too
much. They produce splendid spikes
and bloom for a long time if carefully
watered and well fed. They are at
their best from February onward. A
night temperature of 45 to 48 degrees
suits annual lupines and it must not
exceed 50 degrees on any account. Give
them a soil such as you would use for
carnations or chrvsanthemums. C. W.

BAD KEROSENE EMULSIONS.

Tlie Insecticide and Fungicide Board
of the U. S. Department of Agriculture
among its service and regulatory an-
nouncements issued May 28, 1917, pub-
lishes the following with regard to kero-
sene emulsions:

' ' It has been noted by the department
that kerosene emulsions made by certain
manufacturers cause serious injury to
the foliage of various i)lants when used
as a summer spray at the dilutions
recommended on the label by the manu-
facturer.

' ' These so-called kerosene emulsions
on analysis often show a water, soap
and oil content which indicates that
they have been prepared in accordance
with the commonly used formula of one
g.illon of water, one-half pound of soap
and two gallons of oil, or in accordance
with a formula which gives practically
tiie same percentage of oil. How^ever,
wlien they are used on foliage at the
dilutions recommended by the manufac-
turer tliey seriously burn the foliage of
many varieties of plants, whereas a
well-made kerosene emulsion prepared
by the department in accordance with
tlie same formula does not burn the
same varieties of plants to any extent
when used as a summer spray at the
same dilutions. For example, a well-
made kerosene emulsion prepared by

tions that some manufacturers are us-
ing in tlicir 'kerosene emulsions' cer-
tain fractions of petroleum which are
quite different from kerosene and are
])erhaps the cause of this excessive
burning. ' '

It is suggested that manufacturers
who are preparing kerosene emulsions
take careful note of the above-men-
tioned findings of the department and
change their method of manufacture, if
a change is needful, since kerosene
emulsions subject to the provisions of
the insecticide act of 1910, which cause
injury to the vegetation on which they
are recommended to be used when used
at the dilutions recommended, are adul-
terated under the last jiaragraph of Sec-
tion 7 of the Insecticide Act of 1910,
wliicli reads as follows:

"That for the pur])()so of this act an
article shall be deemed to l)c adulterated
* * * in the case of insecticides or fun-
gicides other than Paris green and lead
arsenate: -^ * * fourth, if it is intended
for use on vegetation and shall contain
any substance or mixture of substances
which, although preventing, destroying,
repelling or mitigating insects, shall be
injurious to such vegetation when
used. ' '

Harrlsburg, Pa., July 20 1915.
S. G. Harris, Tarrytown, N. Y.

Dear Sir. — Last October I received
75 to 100 Peonies from you. I won't
sing "Tell Me the Old, Old Story" for
you, but In the last ten years I have
been Peony stung — harpooned and
trimmed until I refuse to resent a raw
deal on Peonies any more. I just
quit. I now take that time to tell the
man who has given me a square deal
— "Shake; you are a gentleman and a
scholar and sure earned your money."

Last year I bought from you and

. His plants were good and worth

the price. Yours were large, looked
better and were much heavier. This
season not more than one-third of his
had flowers. All of yours, but a few,
Kad'bUtoms, from one to five, many of
which were very large. The boys
made more than the price paid for the
plants from the blooms sold from
them. Decoration Day. You sell the
best plants for the money I ever saw.
If I can arrange, I want to put In
more this Fall.

Some Son of Belial got him hence
with the Peony catalogue you sent
me. I will certainly thank you for a
copy, as it was one of the few cata-
logues I wanted to keep.

Men like you deserve the good will
and patronage of decent people and
I am glad I had the good fortune to
deal with you.

Wishing you continued merited suc-
cess, I am.

Yours, truly,,

MOTE— The divisions listed are such

cyclamens, primulas, gloxinias, dian-
thus, hollyhocks, petunias. Phlox Drum-
mondii, poppies, salvias, stocks, sweet
peas and many others.

Preventing Variations.
It is not expected, however, that
forms or foliage variations can be fixed
in seeds. They generally revert to the
type, but there are cases where forms
have become fixed from seed. For ex-
ample, Tsuga macrophylla, a form of
Tsuga canadensis, holds its form in
seed. So do Wier's cut-leaved maple,
purple beach, golden spiraea, the pur-
ple-leaved Japanese maple and the pur-
ple-leaved barberry. A fair percentage
of all these come true. The probability
is that all these were seed variations in
the first place rather than sports.

Acclimatization of Seedlings.

The subject of the acclimatization of
plants from seed is an interesting one.
It is going on all the time by natural
as well as artificial means. "What nature
has taken ages to do, man may do in a
lifetime. The Japanese clematis was
tender when first introduced, but after
a generation of seedlings it proved per-
fectly hardy. The Irish yew, an im-
ported plant, is not hardy here, but its
seedlings are perfectly hardy. They
have been left out without any protec-
tion since they were six inches high.

For seeds sown in spring under glass,
having a short period of germination,
it is customary to use seed boxes, 2xl2x
16 inches. They are easy to handle and
to take care of in the matter of water
and do not permit an overabundance of

material. Good, light loam is best for
most seeds. It should be made firm and
should be marked out for seeds big
enough to be seen easily. It is hardly
necessary to cover the seeds; merely
give the box a shake. Extremely fine
seeds, such as begonia, gloxinia and
streptocarpus, should be sown broadcast,
first covering the soil with a sprinkling
of sphagnum moss. This makes an ex-
cellent germinating medium and should
be tried wherever there is difficulty in
germination.

Indoor and Outdoor Sowing.

We divide our seeds into batches, one
for indoors and one for outdoors. The
indoor batch includes all greenhouse
plants, such as grevilleas, dracaenas,
gloxinias, begonias and primulas. We
also sow some tender annuals indoors,
such as asters, salvias, pentstemons,
ageratums, lobelias, zinnias and border
antirrhinums, and such as we want
early, and all fine seeds of hardy an-
nuals that would be lost if sown in the
open.

Hardy annuals and some perennials
are sown outdoors in late April or May.
Among these are agrostemmas, alyssum,
candytuft, Gypsophila elegans, lark-
spurs, four o 'clocks, calliopsis, Indian
pinks, lupines, sweet sultans, migno-
iiette, marigolds. Phlox Drummondii,

Care of Indoor

There is more trouble with seeds sown
indoors than out. Abundance of light
and air as the seedlings come up will
do much to ward off the various fungoid
diseases that attack young plants. The
same soil and conditions with regard
to ventilation and shade will not do for
all. Generally as seeds germinate tl^py
are to be shifted to cooler quarters" to
harden them off. The seedlings must be
pricked off as soon as large enough to
handle. With outdoor seeds all that is
necessary is to see that they have plen-
ty of water.

We frequently find seedlings of ber-
ried and fruit-bearing plants growing
where the seeds have been dropped by
birds. If berried seeds are to be sown
as soon as ripe, it will be better to wash
them out in order to stimulate this nat-
ural process, though sometimes when
seeds are stratified, a method described
farther on, the natural process of decay
does practically the same thing.

Adiantum Farleyense Gloriosum

The Glory Fern

(Ruhm von Mordrecht)

This sijlendid Fern, which so closely resembles Adiantum Far-
]eyense in appearance and which does not require the special skill
and care in growing that is necessary to produce good plants of A.
Farleyense, has Quickly made a place for itself not only on account
of the fact that it can be produced for little over half that of grow-
ing Farleyense, but also because either in a cut state or as plants
used in decorative work, it will j2ti!^Xft3t the<eid variety ten to one,
making it an available subject where Farleyense cannot be used at
all. Since its introduction some fiv^.OT six Vears ago there has
never been a supply large enough to iheet the'demaM.

The Market.

There was plenty of vim to the whole-
sale market last week, particularly dur-
ing the latter part of the week. Prac-
tically everything except asters of the
common grades cleaned up. Easter
and other lilies, so plentiful last month,
were no exception and were unobtain-
able after early Saturday. The market
is destitute of cattleyas and valley at
present, and the limited offerings of
sweet peas are of poor quality.

Retailers report a good week's busi-
ness, several of the store forces being
prevented from attending the florists'
annual outing because of too much
work.

The Annual Outing.

The annual outing and picnic of the
Cleveland Florists' Club was held
August 16 at Willough beach and
proved to be one of the most enjoyable
occasions of a like nature in the history
of the club. Everybody, old or young,
of either sex, forgot business cares
and entered into the proper spirit of
the event. The committee in charge
is to be congratulated on the splendid
program prepared and on the superb
manner in which the entire list of
sports was ])ut through. The entries
in all the contests- were large and there
was spirited rivalry for the liberal
prizes. That the spirit of youth is per-
ennial in the heart of the florist was
attested to, not only by the sprightli-
ness of mature men and women — both
fat and lean — but also by the vivacity
of elder members of the profession,
who were present in goodly numbers.

Chief among the features of the pro-
gram was the baseball game between
the wholesalers and retailers. Strange
that even in their play these two
branches of the trade try to get the
best of one another! As usual, the
former were badly worsted, and such
alibis as absence of best players and
lack of practice are now much in cir-
culation about the wholesale market.
The truth of the matter was that the
heavy bat work of the victors, the
masterly pitching of Charles Graham
and the poor support given Pitcher

WILKS SELF-FEEDING HOT WATER BOILER
for ECONOMY, DURABILITY, DEPENDABILITY

Install a WILKS and forget your troubles-

NO NIGHT FIREMAN REQUIRED with the WILKS
SELF-FEEDING BOILERS, as the magazine or coal
chamber holds sufficient fuel to keep fire 10 to 12 hours
without attention. Best made for a small greenhouse.

I am planning to build an addition to
my greenhouse, according to the en-
closed plan. The houses will be even-
span, eleven feet high to the ridge and
seven feet high to the plate. The south
wall will consist of two feet of concrete
blocks and five feet of glass. The north
side will be boarded, with tarred paper
on the outside. The west end of the
south house will have three feet of sid-
ing and the remainder will be glass.
The west end of the north house will be
protected by the workroom. The east
end of both houses will contain about
thirty-three square feet of glass; the
rest will be sided up. I have a No. 4
Kroeschell boiler and shall use a hot
water system. I wish to use 2-inch
pipe for returns and I want a tempera-
ture of 65 to 70 degrees in zero weather.
Where is the best place to connect the
pipe for the exjjansion tank? Will it
be necessary to put air valves in the
returns? E. A. B. — Mich.

As nearly as we can make out from the
sketch an(i description, the south house
is 14x48, with five feet of glass in the
south wall. The other house is 14x35,
with the workroom and boiler cellar at
the west end.

To keep up a temperature of 70 de-
grees in zero weather, we would run
three 2i'2-inch flow pipes in each house.
Place one upon each plate and the other
two feet below the ridge. In the south
house run twelve 2-inch returns, ar-
ranged in three coils. For the north
house use ten returns, in three coils. If
the main flow pipe to each house, which
should be 3-inch, has a slight slope and if
the expansion tank is connected with the

The conservatories of the President of the United States

houses are devoted to tlie growing of cut flowers, orchids, stove
plants, tropical and decorative stock, iiiid all bedding and or-
namental 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 n\miber of
other makes and made a remarkable record for fuel economy.

Uncle Sam's iron frame ranee erected in lUlO is

The interlocking finger rocker grates are unquestionably the most practical for economical firing.

We guarantee them 'to handle slack successfully, also the Pocahontas coal, and there will be no
waste fuel in the ash pit. Cheap coal that makes bad cinders is handled in the most successful manner
possible.

The only proper method to handle a coal fire is to properly admit the draft.

You will conquer the firing problem.

Let us explain to you the only method of handling a coal fire.

It is only what every fireman is trying to accomplish.

Our explanation will be of interest to you. For prices give the exact size of your grate surface.

The Florists' Review

August 23, 1917.

INDIANAPOLIS, IND.

The Market.

Although favored by cooler weather,
the lack of rainfall has caused a scar-
city of some outdoor flowers. Asters
can hardly be said to be in short supply,
but they are of inferior quality, good
asters being few. Gladioli are off crop,
the hot, dry weather causing them to
dry up. The new crop of short roses is
making its appearance. The blooms
are of fair quality, but limited in num-
ber. Lilies, which have been rather
abundant all summer, are off crop.

Ferns have been receiving a fair call.
Funeral work continues active, as does
the call for flowers for the sick. Sum-
mer weddings are popular this season
and constitute an important item in the
business done.

Various Notes.

Janisch & Weiss, proprietors of the
Broad Eipple Floral Co., have discon-
tinued business.

Albert Stanley recently purchased a
new pleasure car.

A. Young, of the Young Tool Co.,
Casey, 111., visited the city last week.

The Hoosier Floral Co. has been cut-
ting a fine late gladioli. This concern's
dahlias are doing well, but are suffering
from the drought. If rain comes soon
enough, the plants will produce fine,
large blooms; if not, they will be prac-
tically a failure.

The Circle Flower Store has added a
bookkeeper to its staff.

Mrs. A. P. Beynolds is recovering
slowly.

Mrs. William Roepke and son, Victor,
have just returned from a trip to Can-
ada and through the east.

While A. F. J. Baur is attending the
S. A. F. convention in New York his
family is visiting at Richmond, Ind.

Fred Hukriede's son and daughter
have been visiting at Fort Wayne.

The September meeting of the State
Florists' Association of Indidna will
be held Tuesday, September 11, at
Columbus, Ind. Further particulars
will be mailed to the members. The
October meeting will be October 31, at
Evansville. At the October meeting
there will be a good showing of chrys-
anthemums.

At the place of Henry Rieman prepa-
rations are rapidly being made for
winter. All is order and neatness.

Baur & Steinkamp have been busy
with carnation and poinsettia orders.

DENVER, COLO.

The Market.

The weather was cloudy and cool
last week, but rain is badly needed.
Business has improved, decorations and
funeral orders keeping the retailers
busy. Gladioli rule the market and are
unusually fine. Sweet peas are arriving
in larger quantities, but the stems are
short and the flowers are not so good
as they have been. Snapdragons are
plentiful and good. Asters are improv-
ing, but as yet have not reached their
prime. Dahlias are of good quality, but
scarce. Good adiantum is plentiful.

Denver is frequented by many tour-
ists, but they have not proved to be
flower buyers.

Various Notes.

Defective wiring caused a fire in an
office above the store of the Park
Floral Co. No damage Avas done to
the store or conservatory.

Adolph F. Konecny, foreman at the
Crown Hill cemetery greenhouses, has
returned from a two weeks' vacation
at Wichita, Kan., his former home.

W. Wilmore, Jr., is having some
splendid window displays of outdoor
flowers from his place at Wheatridge.

Otto Sandberg recently purchased a
machine, and to give it a tryout he took
Charles France, Robert Knoth and J.
Erickson on a week-end trip to northern
Colorado and southern Wyoming.

J. A. Valentine has gone to his cabin
in the mountains, forty-five miles from
Denver, for a rest. The Park Floral Co.
is erecting a house 25x125 to take the
place of a house recently torn down.

E. Johnson, of Colorado Springs, vis-
ited the trade here last week. He re-
ports business good witli the Pike's
Peak Floral Co.

Misses Lena Webb and Leonora Will-
iams are having their vacations. Miss
Webb is at home and Miss Williams
went to Eldorado Springs.

The wholesale plant houses report a
fine shipping business, especially in
2-,inch and 3-inch cyclamens, primulas
and cinerarias. Ferns in 5-inch and
6-inch pots also are having a good sale.

Greenhouse White Paint

Protect Your Houses Before Cold Weather Sets In

Remember-

all ordinary paint will not do.
The conditions are extreme — not
to say remarkable — and it takes
a paint complying with certain
technical requirements to give
satisfaction. You will find Green-
house White to be the paint.

The only paint that will
not blister or peel

f=*^lNX

Greenhouse White

is made for us by paint experts,
by people who have made a life-
long study of painting problems,
and in buying a product which
bears their endorsement you can
depend upon securing a product
satisfactory in all respects for
the purpose intended.

There isn't a more honest Paint made than this and it is backed up by an institution whose reputation
for honest dealing cannot be' questioned.

Try 5 gallons and be convinced — it won't ccst you much— when you consider the quality.

same. Asters and gladioli have im-
proved in both quantity and quality,
more home-grown stock now being re-
ceived. Reports from Kansas City,
Kan., say business there is good, con-
sidering the time of year.

The Market.

Business was exceptionally dull dur-
ing the first part of last week, but
August 18 and 19 the demand was ex-
cellent, as there was a large quantity
of funeral work. Outside of this, how-
ever, the activity was limited.

The supply is excellent in summer
flowers. Gladiolus receipts are increas-
ing, especially of America, Chicago
White, Perfection and Arizona. There
are a fine lot of asters and a number of
good summer roses. Some of the grow-
ers are sending field-grown carnations
into the market that are of good qual-
ity. Lilies are more abundant, gigan-
teums the most plentiful, then rubrums.
Cattleyas are scarce, as also are dendro-
biums. Some excellent hydrangeas are
to be had, and Golden Glow, snap-
dragons and coreopsis make up the vari-
ety. Tuberoses in pots are to be seen
in some of the windows.

Various Notes.

W. J. Vesey, Jr., left August 18 for
eastern points, intending to spend sev-
eral days in New York during the S. A.
F. convention. Good lilies, orchids,
roses and asters are being cut at the
Vesey greenhouses.

Mr. and Mrs. Aaron Shive motored to
Fostoria, O., last week, where they
spent several days. They were accom-
panied by their four sons.

Mr. and Mrs. Edmund Lanternier
have returned with their family from
an outing of two weeks at Snow lake.
Mr. and Mrs. Clem Lanternier motored
to Snow lake last week for a visit.
A. J. Lanternier & Co. are cutting
blooms from their field carnation
plants. They are showing good lilies,
tuberoses, asters and outdoor flowers.
Business was good with them last week.

The repairs at the store of the Flick
Floral Co. have just been finished.

Weddings and funeral work have
kept things on the move at the Doswell
Floral Co. store. Some fine Easter
lilies and Ophelia roses were noted.

The Wright gladiolus farm, west of the
city, is a flourishing place these days.
Mr. Wright has all of the best varieties,
as well as a number of the newer ones.

Mrs. Selma Schilling, aged 41 years,
wife of Adolph Schilling, the well-
known gardener, died here August 6.
She had been an invalid for one year.
Surviving, besides the husband, are four
children. R- F.

Efficient Houses

wm

Our long experience in greenhouse construction enables us to give the best in
service, material and workmanship, and the purchaser of ICKES-BRAUN con-
struction can invest without a doubt as to the efficiency of his houses. Each detail is
perfected and approved— there is no experimenting with your money.

Our new "LEAK-PROOF" gutter continues to prove its superiority. In a new range of
houses recently erected, for which we furnished 11 runs 200 feet long, there was not one
single leak noticeable during a downpour which filled the gutter to overflowing. Have you
anything similar to show?

Foley Iron Frame House

And what he thinks about it

Kedford. Mich.. August lllh, liU7.
Geatlemen :

Of all the houses on my place, the 7'-' x 400 ft. house which you built for
me last year has given ine the greatest satisfaction. It is as well designed as
any house I have ever seen, and was erected with the greatest care. I am es-
pecially pleased with the painting and glazing. (Signed)

A. .1. Si \ III 1.1 \.

And we will further add that this "Foley House" was not his first Iron Framer, as many tlorists
know. A short time nefore he placed the order with us for the above house, another builder had com-
pleted his tirst one. But Mr. Stahelin, like most up-to-date growers, wanted the best to be had, saw
that we had the best house and had us build it for him.

A CATERPILLAR EXTERMINATOR.

I am mailing a sample of the grubs
which are devouring the leaves of my
grape vine and which, I understand, are
doing much damage to elm trees in
different parts of the city. Can you
tell me the name of this pest, and how
to destroy it? Is there a likelihood of
its attacking onions, cabbage or toma-
toes after it has finished the grape vine?
I immersed the specimen in alcohol and
this changed its color a little.

J. T. H.— Wis.

The caterpillar was shriveled up when
received and I could not identify it.
For all pests of this description a poison-
ous spray is necessary. The most efi'ec-
tive is one of arsenate of lead paste,
four pounds to fifty gallons of wator. It
is adhesive and will not wash off like
Paris green, hellebore or other poisons.
It should not be used on cabbajje, let-
tuce or other vegetables .just heading
up, however. The arsenate of lead can
be safely applied to all trees and jhrubs,
also to quite a number of vegetable
plants, including potatoes, tomatoes,
egg-plants, beans, peas and any others
which caterpillars may attack. Use a
fine, misty spray nozzle when applying
the poison. C. W.

GYPSOPHILA PANICULATA

Please give me cultural directions
for Gypsophila paniculata and a de-
scription of the plant. E. A. R. — 111.

Gypsophila paniculata carries cloud-
like heads of small, pure white flowers.
It is fine for cutting. The spikes are
wide and much branched. Seed sown
in spring will flower the following year.
A few, if sown early, will bloom the
same year. It grows to a height of two
to two and one-half feet. Allow four-
teen inches of space between the plants
in the rows. There is a double white
form superior to the single for cutting,
not procurable from seeds. C. W.

THREE ACRES OF PERENNIALS.

I want to devote about three acres to
the growing of hardy perennials. One
acre would be used as a show ground of
well established stock; the other two
acres would be used for the growing of
the young stock for sale. I am summer-
fallowing this ground at the present
time, and wish to know whether I can
grow from seed a good part of my stock.
Shall I sow now, and would you recom-
mend sowing in flats in the greenhouse
or outside in frames? Shall I trans-
plant into frames or into nursery rows?
Will seeds sown now produce stock that
will be ready to market this fall and
what proportion shall I hold until
spring? I would need such a list as has
been advertised for several weeks on
page 1 of The Review, supplemented
with as many others as could be grown
in this locality. J. O. S. — N. Y.

A good many varieties of biennials
and perennials can be advantageously
sown now. Frames which are conve-
nient to water, and which can be kept
shaded until the seedlings are germi-
nated, are better than any outdoor beds.
However, for forget-me-nots, daisies,
violets, pansies, coreopsis and holly-
hocks, outdoor beds a yard wide, which
can be well pulverized and can be given
water during dry weather and a little
overhead shade from cheesecloth, an-
swer well. Unless you are sure of moist,
showery weather, it is safer to trans-
plant into frames and later put outdoors
in beds or nursery rows. Some plants
will be large enough to sell this fall,
but the majority will not be sufficiently
robust until spring. Pansies, myosotis,
violas, daisies, lupines, Chinese lark-
spurs, hollyhocks, coreopsis and rockets
are a few which could be sold in the fall
if required. Sow all these at once.

Some other good perennials to sow
now are: Digitalis, or foxgloves; GaU-
lardia grandiflora; sweet williams; del-
phiniums, both hybrids and chiinense;
Lupinus polyphyllus, pink, white and
blue; Papaver orientale and nudicaule;
aquilegias, in which long-spurred hy-
brids are best; Iberis sempervirens and
gibraltarica; Arabis albida; Pyrethrum
roseum; Valeriana officinalis; Stokesia
cyanea; Platycodon grandiflorum;
Campanula carpatica; Hibiscus Mos-
cheutos; Tritoma grandiflora; Hesperis
matronalis; Dianthus plumarius; Alys-
sum saxatile compactum; Agrostemma
coronaria; Anchusa italica, Dropmore
and Opal, and Scabiosa caucasica. It
is now too late to sow such campanulas
as Medium, or Canterbury bells, persi-
cifolia and pyramidalis for flowering
next year. The smaller of your seed-
lings, which would include aquilegias,
iberis, campanulas and pyrethrums, will
be better if carried over the winter in
coldframes. Those planted outdoors
will need a mulch of hay, straw or
leaves when the ground freezes.

C. W.

POA NEMORALIS, SHADE GRASS.

I am sending you a sample of grass
and would like to know of what value it
is as a lawn cover. C. E. — 111.

Poa nemoralis, or wood meadow grass,
succeeds specially well under trees and
withstands drought better than almost
any other grass. It is, however, hard
to cut with a lawn mower or scythe,
owing to its silky nature, and it is not

suitable for lawn seeding.

The Florists' Review

August 23, 1917.

It'sja pretty good idea (now that the lumber mills in the South-
ern Cypress Mfrs'. Assn. are identifying every cypress board they saw) to

MENTION TO YOUR LUMBER DEALER, CONTRACTOR OR CARPENTER — and tO ASK
YOUR ARCHITECT tO SPECIFY— that YOUR CYPRESS MUST BE

"TIDE-WATER'* CYPRESS
1^ ■ DENT! FIEP BY
THIS TRADE-MARK

Stamped in the End of Every Piece
or APPLIED TO EVERY BUNDLE

•piAOE Mark Reg. U.S.pAT.O'ncE

When a maDufacturer places his imprint indelibly upon his product it evidences to the consumer two
factors of value v«rhich, together, are the sum total of all any buyer wants; these factors are integrity
of purpose and complete responsibility on the part of the maker of the desired commodity.

The above legally registered "Tidewater Cypress" trade-mark is
now YOUR INSURANCE POLICY of LUMBER QUALITY.

It appears stamped mechanically into the end of EVERY board and timber of

CYPRESS

"THE WOOD
ETERNAL."

Thoroughly dependable Cypress Flooring, Siding, Moulding and Shingles,
etc., which come in bundles, bear the same mark on EVERY BUNDLE.

The legal right to apply this epoch-making symbol df STRICT RESPONSIBILITY IN LUMBER MAKING
AND SELLING is restricted to those Cypress mills which, by their membership in the Southern Cypress
Manufacturers' Association, attest their devotion to its Principles of Service to the Consimer. Only
mills cutting "Tidewater" Cypress are eligible for membership. (Cypress which grows too far inland is
not equally noted for the "Eternal," or decay-resisting quality.) Only mills which subscribe to the
Association's standard of scrupulous care in Methods of MANUFACTURE. INTEGRITY OF GRADING
and ACCURACY OF COUNT can belong to the Association. These responsible mills the Association
now licenses to CERTIFY THEIR CYPRESS by applying the registered trade-mark with their identify-
ing number inserted.

Spencer Sweet Peas are perhaps the most
advanced and finest of all. The colors are
distinct, clear and true. They flower earlier

therefore, the seed is scarce and expensive

Pkt. (50 seeds), 40c; 5 pkts., $1.75.

Concord Pink, beautiful delicate pink.

Concord Salmon, soft salmon pink.
Concord Blue, dark purple blue.

We have on hand fresh seed off Giant Flowered]Cyclamen in all popular colors,
also Primula, Cineraria, Calceolaria; Perennial Flower Seeds ffor summer sow-
ing and Annuals ffor winter fflowering under glass.

LOOKING FORWARD TO 1918

The man who looks and plans ahead, clear -brained and confident, is the man who
keeps in front of the procession and seldom talks about "Hard Times." The man who
invests in the following New Roses will not have his market crowded for a year or two
and will certainly make money. , . . . ,

OPHELIA SUPREME

(Dailledouze)

Many of us are nursing a sport or two of Ophelia, but "Supreme" is the fitting
name for this one, as it covers every good point of the parent and is a wonderful shade

Note these two sorts at the fall shows and get aboard!

ALL ABOUT THE
S. A. F. CONVENTION

Supply Exhibits is summed up in this short conversation heard
whenever or wherever florists greeted each other in the hail-
First Florist— Have you seen the Rice Exhibit of Supplies?
l^ L Second Florist— Not yet, I just got in.

IRICe/ -^^^^^ Florist— Come on with me. I've seen it several times, but each

QQ I time I see something I didn't see before. I've attended conventions for many
years, but I never saw anything to equal this display in size, artisticness and
variety. Everybody's talking about it! It's astounding!

OUR DISPLAY WAS A TRIUMPH FOR "KEYSTONE QUALITY" SUPPLIES AND METHODS.

S. A. F. TO GO INTO

j^ THE MAGAZINES

To drive home the slogan, "Send Flowers, Always a Good Idea," is the pur-
pose of the publicity campaign decided on at the New York convention. A
unanimous vote also authorized a committee to start a bureau of credits and
collections, thus making last week epochal in the affairs of the society.

anicssiniiinil

HARLES H. TOTTY was
elected president of the
Society of American Flo-
rists as almost the last
~r act of the thirty-third
8^_y 1S> annual convention, held
1 ^< at New York last week,
*'^^J ^ his majority being seven-
ty-six votes over Abra-
ham Lincoln Miller. The
election, was a friendly contest fought
to a conclusion with such vigor that
it was one of the most interesting
features of an especially interesting
meeting, but in far-reaching importance
to the trade the success of either can-
didate was overshadowed by the de-
cision to launch a campaign of na-
tional publicity for flowers and to
establish a national credits and collec-
tions bureau for the trade.

Although the trades' display was not
so large as expected and tlie attendance
not U]) to anticipations, the convention
goes into trade history
as one of the best in the
long and successful rec-
ords of tlie S. A. F.
Many a member said it
was tlie best convention
he ever has attended.

Excellent! »

The business sessions
were largely attended;
there were more mem-
bers in the chairs than
at certain other conven-
tions wliere the registra-
tion has Iteen mucli
greater. Prositlent Kerr
demonstrated unusual
ability as a presiding
officer. At all times lie
was' master of tlie i)ar-
liamentary situation,
and lie made himself
heard by all in spite of
much outside noise.

The trade exhibitors
did much better tiian
the size of the attend-
ance would indicate. Tlu"
plantsnieii d i d jiarticu
larly Aveli, but some of
the exhibitors of rib-
bons and llorists' sup-
plies also report excel-
lent ])usiuess.

The really big feature
of the convention, how-
ever, was the decision to
lau*rh a national cam-
paign of publWty for
flowers. Tt was oiT?' of

PUBLICITY FUNDS.

The S. A. F. will raise JP50,000 for
advertising the uses of flowers.

At New I'ork last week over $13,000
was raised. Individual subscriptions
ranii:e4 from $5.00 to $500.00.

Kverypne will wish to help^it's a
work that has iiossiblUties of wonder-
ful beneflts for the whole trade.

Send your checks to The Review if
you wish — "small favors thankfully
received and larger in proportion."

Checks received b.v The Review will
be acknowledRed in the paper (we
will credit it to "Cash" if you don't
want .vour name to appear opposite a
small sum) and the money will be
turned over to the treasurer of the

s. A. r.

«^^^ ai«WH.Tottr. -^ '

(President-elect S<K:loty of American Florists.)

those touch-and-go affairs which, like
a fire barely escaping extinction, blaze
up with intensity. The publicity com-
mittee had presented a complete outline
for an up-to-date publicity campaign, it
had been commended by various speak-
ers as just the thing the trade should
do, but the means of doing it was so far
away that a motion to refer the mat-
ter again to a committee had been made
when F. L. Atkins, of Bobbink & At-
kins, took the floor. "That is just
what the Ornamental Nurserymen have
been doing," he said; ''they always
were going to do something, but never
did. Tlie motion before the liouse
means tiiat the S. A. V. won't do any-
thing for at least another year. Let's
do something now, or else let's forget
the wliole sclieme. "

"All right," said Joseph Heacock,

"let's do something now. We have

the plan; all we need is tlie money. I

start tlie subscription list with $500."

(Applause.)

The next half hour
was devoted to record-
ing the names of others
who wanted to get on
wliat President Kerr
called the honor roll.

The Plan.

W. F. Therkildson,
chair;nan of the public-
ity committee, presented
a brief typewritten re-
jiort which was in fact
only an argument for
advertising. "We can
sell flowers by advertis-
ing," reported Mr.
Tlierkildson, "as surely
as Uneeda B i s <j»u i t.
Cream of Wheat, Vic-
trolas, Cornflakes,
Shredded Wheat Biscuit,
Dutch Cleanser, Wrig-
ley's Gum and a thou-
sand other things. All
of yon are familiar with
these g r e a t successes,
for whicli there was no
natural d e m a n d, but
which have m a d e end-
less millions because
people have been led to
believe them a necessity
because they are before
them day and night.

' ' Are we going to
make a real busia|iSs hf
the florists' business?
Are we going to enter
the ranks of live mer-

OUTLfff,

Showing Source of Income and Method of Outlay Adopted for S. A. F. Publicity*

chants, or are we going to be content
with what comes to us without effort?
If so, we shall have to be content with
less than we have had in former years.

"You have advertising successes in
your midst. I could name many of
them, but I will use Penn for my illus-
tration. I don't need to say much; the
lesson is before you and plain as day.
From 'Newsboy to Wealth.' No fairy
story is better. All done by live adver-
tising.

"So we offer this complete plan, dia-
gram, schedule, sketches, and even
slogan for a real live campaign to put
flowers on the commercial map."

"Send Flowers," the Slogan.

The principal part of Mr. Therkild-
son's report was extemporaneous, a de-
scription of the plan the committee has
outlined. It is shown in the line draw-
ing reproduced on this page. The work
is to be under the direction of the S. A.
F. and the F. T. D. The sources of
income are to be several. It is planned

to have sticker stamps for sale to the
trade, to supply mailing cards, folders,
booklets, window cards, all of which
will produce revenue now diverted to
suppliers outside the trade; newspaper
advertising plates are to be purchasable
from the committee and many special
services are to be sold at a price that
will make them advantageous to the
buyer and still return a profit to the
publicity bureau. But the greater part
of the funds, of course, must come from
subscriptions by those in the trade and
by the trade societies.

The committee is to have an office in
charge of an experienced publicity man,
whose entire time is to be devoted to
exploiting flowers. He is to prepare the
various advertising helps that are to
enable the local florists to tie up their
own stores with the national campaign.
He will supply the material at moderate
prices and give advice as to how to use
it. The publicity campaign itself will
consist of large pictorial advertisements
in widely read general magazines. Large

picture, little text, the committee says.
How far it will be possible to go de-
pends on the funds raised. A schedule
was shown calling for a total expendi-
ture of $50,000, another calling for
fewer insertions costing $40,000, with
a third totaling $30,000.

The whole campaign is planned
around the slogan, "Send Flowers, Al-
ways a Good Idea."

The Money in Sight.

Mr. Therkildson was accompanied by
an advertising specialist who told what
had been done by others, although he
cited only successes in advertising
trade-marked or branded goods, and
said the same thing can be done for
flowers. The confidence of these two
was infectious. Ella G. Wilson, Max
Schling, F, L. Atkins, W. R. Pierson
and others told of local successes; then
the money-raising began. When the
enthusiasm began to subside James Mc-
Hutchison moved that the S. A. F. itself
appropriate $5,000 to the campaign.

nounced:

licity committee was authorized to
go ahead with the publicity work as
outlined.

president was instructed to appoint a

special committee to complete the rais-
ing of the funds.

Credit and Collection Bureau.

Patrick Welch presented a lengthy re-
view of the discussion which led up to
the appointment of a committee on a
bureau of credits and collections. The
need for such an institution in the trade
is well known and Mr. Welch's paper,
prepared originally to be presented to
a meeting of the committee August 20,
set out, not only the need, but the
methods by which the need can be met.
The committee had held three meetings
during the convention, but was unable
to recommend a definite plan to the
society. It recommended, however,
that a committee of five be appointed
by the president, with full power to
obtain a charter in any state in the
Union, if it is deemed advisable to or-
ganize a corporation to handle the
work; or to deal with any established
credits and collections agency if the
committee so desires.

The recommendation was adopted and
the members of the committee say that
they do not propose to let the matter
slumber for another year, but to provide
the trade at once with a dependable
source of credit information and collec-
tion assistance.

The War and the Trade.

Robert Craig was on the program to
open a discussion on "The Florists'
Business in Its Kelation to War Times."
He said the war brings many unusual
conditions and addressed himself par-
ticularly to the possibilities of finding

substitutes for the stock the importa-
tion of which is shut off. He said C. W.
Ward has invested $350,000 on the
Pacific coast in a nursery principally
to produce azaleas and other plants
heretofore imported. Mr. Craig passed
around photographs of Mr. Ward's
place, several of which have appeared
in The Review in connection with ar-
ticles on the subject. Mr. Craig said
he considers the so-called French
hydrangeas have wonderful possibili-
ties and predicted that in them we shall
find an excellent substitute for azaleas.
He also recommended the trial of an-
tirrhinums and campanulas as pot
plants. As a substitute for boxwood he
suggested small native evergreens.

Max Schling spoke of numerous
plants witli bright variegated* foliage,
saying that an azalea never was other-
wise than a risky thing to sell to a cus-
tomer ignorant of its care. He said
that psychology is a wonderful factor in
salesmanship, and that we can make
customers take any view we wish by
merely making the suggestion that a
flower is suited to a certain purpose.

J. F. Ammann, of Edwardsville, 111.,
spoke of the patriotic and sentimental
side of the war, urging that no sacrifice
we as business men can make is equal
to the sacrifice made by the men who go
to France.

E. G. Hill told of correspondence
with business associates in England,
who report that demand is good, that
prices are good and that the principal
trouble is in the supply of labor and
material. He predicted that our own
experience will be ft^ less endurable

than that of the trade in England, who
are of good cheer.

F. C. W. Brown, of Cleveland, spoke
of satisfactory business conditions in
Canada and asserted his confidence of
continued active demand here.

Mothers' Day.

O. J. Olson, chairman of the Mothers'
day committee, was not present, but he
sent a report, read by E. J. Fancourt,
showing the collection of $571 at a cost
to the committee of $516.50, leaving a
balance of $54.50. The report expressed
the belief of the committee that
Mothers' day offers the greatest oppor-
tunity now available to the trade, and
that its value came with the general ac-
ceptance of the couplet (it was coined
in The Review office) that makea for
the use of all flowers:

In Mother's memory, flowers white;
For Mother at home, flowers bright.

The committee expressed its regret at
the small success which had attended its
efforts to raise money to be turned over
to Miss Jarvis, the originator of Moth-
ers' day.

The report was followed by a sharp
discussion, a number of those present
being unable to harmonize the repeated
requests, amounting almost to demands,
that the trade raise money for Miss
Jarvis, apparently for her personal use,
while at the same time that lady and
her Mothers' Day Association decry and
forbid the commercialization of the day.
Among those who spoke on the avibjeet
were S. S. Skidelsky, George Asmus,
Robert Kift, A. Farenwald, P. Welch,
Frank Gorly, F. L. Atkins and David

Geddis. E. G. Hill finally afforded the
idea that disposed of the matter by
moving that Miss Jarvis be referred to
the publicity committee, who can em-
ploy her if her services appear to have
value.
Committee on President's Address.

The committee, consisting of H. P.
Knoble, Patrick Welch, George Asmus,
C. E. Critchell and Joseph Heacock, to
whom the president's address was re-
ferred, recommended concurrence in his
recommendations. The committee also
recommended that the secretary prepare
instructions for the state vice-presi-
dents, with a view to increasing their
usefulness; that the society give serious
consideration to the matter of holding
the national flower show annually, in
connection with the convention, in the
spring; that the tariff and legislation
committee maintain increasing vigilance
to defend the trade from injury; that
the members of the society send the
publicity committee all articles in local
papers discouraging the use of flowers,
to the end that publication of counter
articles be secured; that every firm and
individual in the trade be urged to con-
tribute something to the funds for pub-
licity; that a committee of three be
appointed to raise a fund for patriotic
duty.

Judges on Trades' Display.

i' The judges of the trades' display
were A. Gude, John Canning, W. H. Sie-
brecht, A. Kottmiller, H. P. Knoble,
W. C. Gloeckner, E. A. Peirce, Henry
Weston and W. G. Badgley. Secretary
Young read their report. Honorable
mention was recommended for the ex-
hibits of Schloss Bros., M. Rice Co.,
Hitchings & Co., Mead-Suydam Co., C'
J. Kraus, Wertheimer Bros., H. Bayers-
dorfer & Co., F. R. Pierson Co., John
Scheepers & Co., Henry A. Dreer, Inc.,
Fred Dressel, General Rubber Co., Lager
& Hurrell, Robert Craig Co., C. E. Falls,
the Expanded Wood Co., Vaughan 's
Seed Store, S. S. Pennock Co., H. F.

Michell Co., Basket Novelty Co., and
the American Greenhouse Mfg. Co.
High commendation was recommended
for the exhibits of the A. L. Randall
Co., Reed & Keller, Bobbink & Atkins,
Chicago Feed & Fertilizer Co., John
Lewis Childs, J. H. Fiesser, Joseph
Heacock Co., Heatherhome Co., Mirror
Mfg. Co., J. G. Neidinger Co., Nitrate
Agencies Co., J. A. Peterson & Sons,

A. N. Pierson, Inc., Julius Roehrs Co.,

B. Rosens, Russin & Hanfling and
others. The report was adopted.

Judges on the Garden.

The judges of the Convention Garden
were Arthur Herrington, R. A. Vincent
and J. H. Pepper. For them the latter
recommended certificates of merit be
awarded to Isaac Hicks & Son, for col-
lection of evergreens; to B. Hammond
Tracy, for gladioli; to Conard & Jones
Co., for Cannas Snow Queen and New
York; to Henry A. Dreer, Inc., for
Canna Orange Bedder, and to Wm.
Tricker, for pool of aquatics. Honor-
able mention was recommended for
Vaughan 's Seed Store, for Gladiolus
Frank Pendleton and Canna Yellow
King Humbert; to John Lewis Childs,
for collection of gladioli; to Henry A.
Dreer, Inc., for Canna Scharf enstein ;
to Thomas Meehan & Sons, for hibis-
cus; to A. L. Miller, for flower beds.

The Election.

The new method of conducting the
election, with four sets of judges work-
ing at once, each set handling a fourth
of the letters of the alphabet, was used
for the first time and proved a splendid
feature. It obviated the necessity of
standing in line to vote, made it pos-
sible to poll the entire vote in a short
time, in comfort, and to announce the
result promptly.

The only contest was for the presi-
dency. The count showed: C. H. Totty,
Madison, N. J., 198; A. L. Miller, Jamai-
ca, N. Y., 122.

The other officers were elected unan-
imously, as follows:

Booths of Two of the Greenhouse Material Companies at the Convention.

Vice-president, Jules Bourdet, of St.
Louis.

Secretary, John Young, of New York.

Treasurer, J. J. Hess, of Omaha.

Directors for three years, Joseph
Manda, South Orange, N. J.; C. E.
Critchell, Cincinnati, O.

After President Kerr had made the
announcement the defeated candidate
made a neat speech of congratulation
and moved that the election be made
unanimous, to which Mr. Totty replietl
with a few words of thanks and appre-
ciation.

Miscellaneous Matters.

A motion to express approval of the
action of President Wilson in ordering
the reduction of coal to certain fixed
prices provoked a lively debate, which
resulted in the decision that it is inad-
visable to Call attention at this time to
the fuel needs of the trade.

On motion of W. F. Therkildson tele-
grams were ordered sent to the manag-
ers of the war revenue bill now under
consideration at Washington, objecting
to the proposed mailing tax of 1 cent
each on catalogues weighing over four
ounces.

Chairman Theodore Wirth, of the
committee on convention garden, sent
a report regretting that this year's gar-
den is a disappointment in spite of
much hard work by all concerned, but
predicting better results at the next
one, in 1919, urging earnest endeavor
to that end.

J. F. Ammann, A. F. Poeljl^aun and
A. A. Niessen drafted suitable final
resolutions, expressing the usual appre-
ciation of courtesies.

John Westcott, of Philadelphia, who
speaks in a most happy vein, presented
to President and Mrs. Kerr a handsome
chest of silver as a memento of the oc-
casion. It was the last act of the con-
vention.

CONFERENCE ON EXCLUSION.

During the S. A. F. convention at
New York the long-bofore-agreed-to
conference was held to discuss the pro-
posal to prohibit all plant imports as a
means of protecting American plant life
from foreign insects and diseases. The
interests represented were the Eco-
nomic Entomologists, headed by Prof.
Saunders, whose pet measure this is;
the American Association of Xursery-
men and the Society of American Flo-
rists. James McHutchison protested
that although the conference had been
agreed to months ago, the date was set
at such short notice that it was impos-
sible to get a representative number of
men together and the meeting resolved
itself into an informal discussion.

It appears that a number of the en-
tomologists are beginning to appreciate
the needlessness of a complete prohibi-
tion of all plant imports and the great
disturbance of business which would
result, with the possibility that the
agitation for such a law will subside.
Also there is tlic probability that so
many larger matters now demand at-
tention at Washington that such legis-
lation will not be considered for some
time to come.

The Election.

The new method of conducting the
(dection, with fiuir sets nt' judges work
ing at once, ea(di set handling a fourth
of the letters of the alphabet, was useil
for the iirst time and jiroxed a sjilendid
feature. It obviated the m'ces>ity i>\'
standing in line to \nte. made it ]in>
sible to ]ioll the entire \nte in a short
time, in comfort, ;ind tn aniinuiice the
result jiiomptly.

The only contest was t'nr the presi
deiicv. The count showed: ( '. H.Totty,

unanimous, to which Mr. Totty replied
with ;i few wdids of thanks and apjire
elation.

LADIES' S. A. F.

The annual meeting of the Ladies'
S. A. F, was held at Hotel McAlpin,
New York, August 22, President Miss
Perle Pulmer, of Des Moines, la., in
the chair.

The following officers were elected:
President, Mrs. Julius Roehrs, Euther-
ford, N. J.; first vice-president. Miss
Bertha Meinhardt, St. Louis; second
vice-president, Mrs. Joseph Manda,
South Orange, N. J.; treasurer, Mrs. A.
M. Herr, Lancaster, Pa. ; secretary, Mrs.
George W. Smith, Cleveland.

A revision of the by-laws was
adopted.

The New York Florists' Club gave
a reception for tne ladies at the Hotel
McAlpin on the evening of August 23.
A theater party was given for the
ladies August 22.

President Miss Fulmer entertained
the officers and directors at luncheon
August 22, which was the birthday an-
niversary of Mrs. C. H. Maynard, the
retiring secretary, who was the recip-
ient of several gifts.

AMERICAN CABNATION SOCIETY.

President W. J. Vesey, Jr., of Fort
Wayne, Ind., occupied the chair at a
well-attended meeting of the American
Carnation Society at Grand Central
Palace, New York, August 22.

Plans were made for the annual con-
vention and exhibition of the society at
Boston, January 30 and 31, 1918. Vice-
president C. S. Strout outlined the ar-
rangements, which were approved. The
show will be staged in Horticultural
hall and the banquet also will be served
there, although the Copley-Plaza hotel
will be headquarters.

It was decided to take charge of the
carnation section of the National Flow-
er Show at St. Louis, April 6 to 15,
1918, and to assume responsibility for
the premiums of $1,500.

Secretary Baur spoke with every
confidence of large exhibitions at both
places.

AMERICAN ROSE SOCIETY.

At a meeting of the American Eose
Society held at the Grand Central Pal-
ace, New York, August 23, plans were
discussed for participation in the Cleve-
land flower show, November 10 to 12,
It was felt that the schedule for roses
demanded amplification if the display is
to be one such as will do credit to the
society. The next meeting of the so-
ciety will be held at that time.

Eules for the guidance of the nomen-
clature committee in the registering of
new roses, drawn by a committee head-
ed by Prof. Mulf ord, were adopted with
some amendments to meet the views of
the introducers of new varieties. The
committee sought to simplify varietal
nomenclature by laying down the rule
that a name should consist of not more
than two words, but the novelty dealers
insisted that room must be left for the
full names of persons and for the use of
names of possession like Manda 's Tri-
umph, although both are frowned upon
by the purigts.

A report was made of the finances
of the Philadelphia spring show. At
the call of President Hammond, Treas-
urer May reported a working balance
of $1,047.28.

Robert Pyle spoke in behalf of the
great rose garden Prof. C. S. Sargent
purposes to establish at Arnold Arbo-
retum, Boston.

W. R. Pierson again called attention
to the project to enlarge the rose gar-
den at Elizabeth park, Hartford, Conn.,
next spring. He wants stock for sixty
beds.

At a subsequent directors' meeting
Dailledouze Bros., Flatbush, N. Y., filed
application for the registry of Eose
C^helia Supreme, sport of Ophelia, iden-
tical in habit but of deep and distinct
pink.

The Eose Society already has planned
to participate in the National Flower
Show at St. Louis and Harry O. May,
Eobert Simpson and W. J. Keimel were
appointed -to prepare the premium list
for the rose section. The following
subscriptions were made toward the
guarantee fund for the National Flower
Show: Benjamin Hammond, $250; H.
O. May, $100; E. Allan Peirce, $100;
S. S. Pennock, $100; Wendland &
Keimel Co., $100; Eobert Simpson, $100;
Conard & Jones Co., $100. It was voted
that the following canvass given sec-
tions for further subscriptions: W. J.
Keimel, the middle and far west; S. S.
Pennock, Philadelphia; H. O. May, New
York; W. E. Pierson, New England:

At the annual meeting of the Ameri-
can Gladiolus Society, held in the pri-
vate office of Dr. Britton at the Mu-
seum building in Bronx park, New
York, August 24, the organization was
handed back to the management of the
professional growers, commercial men
being elected to the offices recently held
by millionaire gladiolus fanciers. The
new officers are:

President — E. A. Kunderd, Goshen,
Ind.

Vice-president — E. H. Meader, Dover,
N. H.

Treasurer — Madison Cooper, Calcium,
N. Y.

Secretary — Henry Youell, Syracuse,
N. Y.

The Business Meeting.

In the absence of President Fair-
banks, Vice-president T. A. Havemeyer,
of sugar fame, occupied the chair. E.
H. Meader acted as secretary in place
of Mr. Youell, who is ill. Mr. Youell
sent a pessimistic report of the progress
of the society, which has been crab-
fashion in the last year, eight new mem-
bers having joined and eighteen having
been lost. Treasurer Kunderd reported
$742.05 in the bank, with only a few
small current bills outstanding.

The new president was empowered to
appoint the executive and exhibition
committees with a view to holding the
annual show in the west next year,
preferably at Chicago.

There was the annual discussion as to
a definition of what, constitutes ama-
teur and professional standing and how
to secure the participation of the for-
mer class of exhibitors. ■ It was as fruit-
less as heretofore.

It was agreed that the executive
committee be recommended to engage
the services of a promoter to work up
interest in the 1918 exhibition.

The Exhibition.

The eighth annual exhibition of the
American Gladiolus Society was held
in the Museum building at Bronx park
August 23 to 26, in cooperation with
the Horticultural Society of New York,
which supplied the premiums. It proved
to be the largest display of cut gla-
diolus flowers ever staged in America.
Two floors of the big building were
occupied. A conservative estimate of
the number of spikes staged would be
9,000 to 10,000. Using an average of
eight flowers per spike, and some spikes
carried fourteen, it would give 70,000
to 80,000 open flowers in the show.

Large as the show was, it would have
been much larger excepl; for misfortunes
that befell some of the would-be exhib-
itors. Arthur Cowee, of Berlin, N. Y.,
always has been one of the chief fac-
tors in these shows, but this year he
did not participate, weather conditions
having been too unfavorable. The
president, C. F. Fairbanks, Boston ama-
teur, had planned a large showing, but
August 21, on the eve of cutting the
spikes, a hail storm destroyed his flow-
ers; he had nothing to show.

Bronx park is about as undesirable
a place for a flower show as one could
imagine. It is not only far from the
center of the city, but it is not easy
of access, so that the attendance of
the trade was limited to those having a
special interest in the gladiolus. To
these, naturally, the new varieties were
the most important feature. There were
many seedlings, most notable of which
was the collection of some twenty from
T. A. Havemeyer 's Cedar Hill Nursery,
Glen Head, N. Y. The prize for the
best novelty, however, was awarded to
a primulinus hybrid of distinct color-
ing, reddish pink with cream throat,
exhibited by John Scheepers, Inc., a
most artistic flower. Mr. Scheepers also
staged a fine lot of white seedlings and
another lot in which purple or lavender
was predominant, said to be the work
of the originator of G. princeps. Wm.
Sim, Cliftondale, Mass., also sent a
large collection of seedlings. Herman
H. Baer, New Hyde Park, N. Y., staged
a group of Crystal White, which has so
large a blotch of purple in the throat
as almost to make the appellation a
misnomer.

Good as are some of these novelties,
to the average grower it will appear
that Europa, as shown in the class for
whites, will be difficult to displace; that
Panama, as a pink, towers above any
other gladiolus in the show; that Gold-
en Measure, yellow, will sell in spite of
all competition, and that Evelyn Kirk-
land, as staged by Madison Cooper,
will hold its place for years.

The Craig and Pennock Exhibits in the Foregroundt with Rice Under the Balcony.

The eastern growers are strong on
primulinus. These hybrids afford new
colors, which are particularly effective
under artificial light, with a grace not
possible with the rigid spikes of the
older types, with which amenability to
forcing is said to be combined. Nearly
all the eastern exhibitors showed many
pure primulinus hybrids and the influ-
ence of the blood was seen in many of
the crosses with the gandavensis and
Childsii types. The great group of B.
Hammond Tracy, Cedar Acres, Wenham,
Mass., which occupied the rotunda, was
particularly strong in its primulinus
varieties.

In the large collections, John Lewis
Childs^ Floral Park, N. Y., staged 125
varieties; Vaughan'a Seed Store staged
forty-five varieties and Thomas Cogger,
Melrose, Mass., and E. H. Meader,
Dover, N. H., had good displays. The
principal groups by non-commercial
growers were from P. W. Popp and
Madison Cooper.

There were forty-five classes open
only to non-commercial growers, but
they brought out only three exhibitors,
\\ W. Popp, gardener to Mrs. H.
Darlington, Mamaroneck, N, Y., who
won fifteen first prizes and the achieve-
ment medal; Madison Cooper, of Cal-
cium, N. Y., refrigeration manufacturer,
publisher and gladiolus enthusiast, who
won twelve first prizes and seven sec-
onds, and J. P. Sorenson, gardener for
Wm. Shillaber, Essex Falls, N. Y., who
made only a few entries.

In the matter of amateur participa-
tion the show fell far short of the hopes
of the promoters, as the wish has been
to secure the active interest of the peo-
ple who plant gladiolus bulbs for pure
pleasure.

The fallowing special prizes* were
awarded by the Horticultural Society
of New York:

William Sim, Cliftondale, Mass.. for a dis-
play of seedling gladioli, silver medal.

Mrs. H. Darlington, Mamaroneck, N. Y., V.
W. Popp, gardener, for a collection of dah-
lias, special prize.

Vaughan's Seed Store, New Y'ork, for a dis-
play of gladioli, silver medal.

H. E. Meader, Dover, N. H., for a vase of
(iladiolus Myrtle, certificate of merit.

James Stuart, gardener, for a vase of Buddleia
magnifica and Artemisia lactiflora, special prize.

John Scheepers & Co., New York city, for a
collection of white seedlings, certificate of merit;
for a display of seedlings, certificate of merit.

Bobbink & Atkins staged a table of
their Mallow Marvels hibiscus.

There were several excellent exhibits
of cactus and peony-flowered dahlias.

AMERICAN ROSE SOCIETY.

At a meeting of the American Kose

discussed for ]iartici|iat ion in the Cleve-
land tlower slinw. No\«MuiM'r 10 to 12,
It was felt that tln' schedule for roses
demaiuled am]iliricat ion if tlie dis])lay is
to be one sueii as will do credit to the
society. Tlie next meeting of the so-
ciety will be held at that time.

Rules for the guidance of the nomen-
clature committee in the registering of
new roses, drawn by a committee head-
ed by Prof. Mulfor(i, were adopted with
some aineiidinents to meet the views of
the introducers of new varieties. The
committee sought to simplify varietal
nomenclature by laying down the rule
that a name should consist of not more
than two words, but the novtdty dealers
insisted that room must be left for the
full names of ])ersons and for the use of
names of possession like ^SLonda's Tri-
umph, although both are frouncd upon
by the purists.

A report was made of the finances
of the l*liiladel])hia spring sliow. At
the call of President Hammond, Treas-
urer May reported a working balance
of .$1,047.28.

Robert Pyle spoke in behalf of the
great rose garden I'rof. C. S. Sargent
purposes to establish at Arnold Arbo-
retum, Boston.

W. R. Pierson again called attention
to the project to enlarge the rose gar-
<len at Elizabeth park, Hartford, Conn.,
next spring. He wants stock for sixty
beds.

At a subsequent directors' meeting
Dailledouze Bros., Flatbush, N. Y"., filed
application for the registry of Rose
()j)helia Supreme, sport of Ophelia, iden-
tical in habit but of deep and distinct
j)ink.

The Rose Society already has jdanned

Show at St. Louis and Harry O. May,

AMERICAN GLADIOLUS SOCIETY.

Officers Elected.

At the annual meeting of the Ameri-
can (iladiobis Society, lield in the pri-
vate otlice of Dr. Jiritton at the Mu-
seum building in Bronx park, New
York, August 24, the organization was
lianded back to the management of the
professional growers, commercial men
being elected to the otTices recently held
by millionaire gladiolus fanciers. The
new oflicers are:

President — E. A. Kunderd, Goshen,

Treasurer — Madison Cooper, Calcium,

In the absence of President Fair-
banks, Vice-president T. A. Havemeyer,
of sugar fame, occupied the chair. E.
11. Meader acted as secretarv in place
of Mr. Youell, who is ill. Mr. Youell
sent a pessimistic report of the progress
of the society, which has been crab-
fashion in the last year, eight new mem-
bers having joined am] eighteen having
been lost. Treasurer Kunderd reported
$742.05 in the bank, with only a few
small current bills outstanding.

The new jiresident was emjiowered to
appoint the executive and exhibition
committees with a view to holding the
annual show in the west next year,
preferably at Chicago.

There Avas the annual discussion as to
.a deJinition of what constitutes ama-
teur and professional standing and how
to secure the ])articipation of the for-
mer class of exhibitors. It was as fruit-
less as heretofore.

It w^as agreed that the executive
committee be recommended to engage
the services of a promoter to work up
interest in the 1918 exhibition.

The Exhibition.

The eighth annual exhibition of the
American Gladiolus Society was held
in the Museum building at Bronx park
August 23 to 20, in cooperation with
the Horticultural Society of New York,
which supplied the ])remiums. It proved
to be the largest display of cut gla-
diolus llowers ever staged in America.
Two lloors of the big building were
occupied. A conservative estimate of
the nund)er of spikes staged would be
9,000 to 10,000. Using an average of
eight flowers per spike, and some spikes
carried fourteen, it would give 70,000
to 80,000 open flowers in the show.

Large as the show was, it would have
been much larger except for misfortunes
that befell some of the AVould be exhib-
itors. Arthur Cowee, of Berlin, N. Y.,
always has been one of the chief fac-
tors in these shows, but this year ho
did not ]iarticij>ate, weather conditions
having been too unfavoralde. The
president, C. F. Fairbanks, Boston ama-
teur, had planned a large showing, but
August 21, (Ml the eve of oitting the
spikes, a hail storm destroyed his llow-
ers; he had nothing to show.

Bronx park is about ;is undesirable
a ])lace for a flower show as one could
inuigine. It is not only far from the
center of the city, but it is not easy
of access, so that the attendance of
the trade was limited to tlios(> having a
special interest in the gl.'idiolus. To
these, naturally, the new varieties were
the most important feature. There were
many seedlings, most notable of wliicdi
was the collection of some twenty from
T. A. llavemeyer's Ced.ir Hill Nursery,
Glen Heail, N. Y. The jirize for the
best novelty, however, was awarded to
a jirimuliiius hybrid of <listinct color-
ing, reddish jdiik with cream throat,
exhibiteil liy John Scheepers, Inc., a
most artistic flower. Mr. Scheejiers also
staged a fine lot of white seedlings and
another lot in which purple or lavender
was prcilominant, said to be the work
of the ori^inatcu' of (>. princeps. Wm.
Sim, Cliftondale, ^Mass., also sent a
large cidlection of seedlings. Herman
H. Baer, New Hyde Park, N. Y., staged
a group of Crystal AVhite, which has so
large a blotch of jiurple in the throat
as alnuist to make the :ippellation a
misnomer.

Good as are some of these novelties,
to the average grower it will appear
that Europa, as shown in the class for
whites, will be dillicult to displace; that
Panama, as a pijik, towers above any
other gladiolus in the show; that Gold-
en Measure, yellow, will sell in spite of
all competition, and th.at Evelyn Kirk-
land, as staged by Madison Cooper,
will hold its place for years.

CREDITS AND COLLECTIONS

h^i7i^r7StihrSYirrs\ih«vir7Svirrsvir^rrsvih^iiV«virirs>(i

FOE twenty years the question of
credits has been exceedingly im-
portant and of great interest to the
commercial growers of horticultural
products in this country. It is now
not considered a reflection on a mer-
chant 's honesty or business ability if he
is asked for a statement of his finances;
he realizes such information enables
business men to conduct their affairs
intelligently.

Attempts have been made to estab-
lish local agencies where a limited num-
ber of houses doing business in a re-
stricted way have agreed among them-
selves to list those with whom they do
business, and in some cities this method
has proved successful, as shown by the
experience of the New York Wholesale
Protective Association, the American
Association of Nurserymen and the
American Seed Trade Association, all of
which have in successful operation
credit and collection bureaus under
their own auspices.

The statisticians claim that ninety
per cent of the business concerns of the
country fail or are liquidated at some
period of their existence. It is some-
times hard to anticipate these losses,
but it seems reasonable to suppose that
many losses experienced by our people
might be avoided if only the proper pre-
cautions were taken.

I believe that three per cent of the
total sales within the last ten years
have been lost to the horticultural in-
terests by bad debts. No more impor-
tant question can come before us at
this time than that of evolving ways
and means by which this drain on our
resources may be reduced to a minimum.

To Strive for the Ideal.

It may be assumed that men in busi-
ness will pay their debts if they can,
with no reference to honesty. Every
man must make a living and most men
are ambitious to make more than a
mere living. Every man has chosen a
particular line of business in which he
can make profit with the least effort.
He simply cannot afford to fail. And
he knows that he can continue in busi-
ness only on condition that he pays his
creditors, and that he must do this with
a reasonable degree of promptness.

It is rarely that a man enters busi-
ness with the intention of being dis-
honest. We have had few of them, I am
pleased to say, in our business. The
few that there have been, however, have
brought about in the past, and others
may bring about in the future, most
disastrous results to those engaged in
floriculture in this country.

The time has com6 When we are
obliged to promote such business prin-
ciples that our trade may be conducted
on honorable and equitable lines. To
accomplish this we must place more
stress on the dispensation of credit.
The idea that credit is cheap has taken
a firm root among the business men of
our country.

If we expect to change the credit con-
ditions practiced at present in our work,
we can do it only by united action and
by intelligent, organized efforts on the
part of those engaged in horticulture in
this country. We can preserve our own
business and can compete fairly, hon-
estly and honorably with others in the
same profession without keeping to our-
selves as a trade secret all that we
know, for our personal advantage. We
should unite for commercial purposes
to eliminate all trade abuses, cancella-
tions, excessive and uncalled-for ' dis-
counts and all other unbusinejlSTlike
practices on the part of customelfs aiid
ourselves. * j^**'

Form of Organization. ' ^\.;X

Let us try to bring about a better
understanding among the men engaged
in our business, strengthen confidence
in the spoken and written woud and
make men realize the absolute necessity
of fidelity to their promises. We must
organize for the purpose of simplifying
safe credit and to rid the country of
everything that acts as an obstacle to
the exchange of our products. Let us
establish the principles once and for all
developed in the individual whose word
is as good as his bond. No higher trait
than this can be sought.

The sentiment in favor of adopting
ways and means by which this move-
ment can be made a national affair, is
markedly strong at present, as has
been proven by statements made by
men having large interests involved.

The committee has taken up the ques-
tion of ways and means and found it
necessary to consider which of two
plans is more advisable: Whether three
or more members of the society may in-
corporate under the laws of any of the
states for the express purpose of creat-
ing a national bureau of credits and col-
lections, or whether it would be more

practical and fully as useful to our
members for the work to be done by a
commercial agency already operating
in Chicago, New York and Boston and
providing its members with such in-
formation as might be sought relative
to the financial standing of any busi-
ness concern on its list.

If an Organization of Florists.

If we should organize a corporation,
as stated above, it should be capitalized
for at least $50,000, in 1,000 shares of
$50 each. The officers should consist
of a president, secretary, treasurer and
board of directors, having an office in
any of the cities, and sufficient office
force, all subject to the jurisdiction of
the board of directors.

The duties of the officers and their
compensation can be defined more in
detail at a future meeting.

The annual dues to be paid by sub-
scribers should be at least $25.

It would be necessary to dispose of
at' least 500 shares to insure sufficient
capital before the work could proceed-

The by-laws • should provide that no
person can purchase more than one
shiare of stock.

Each subscriber would be entitled to
a certain number of reports, to be
agreed upon lat^r.

Such an organization, while serving
a useful purpose, would necessarily have
to acquire its credit inforiyiation slowly;
its growth would be a healthy one and
eventually we would have a credit or-
ganization of our own which would be
practical and, in time, self-supporting.

If we adopt the second method, of
indorsing any of the established asso-
ciations to conduct this branch of our
business, it is quite probable that the
information furnished by them would
be more or less limited, due to their ter-
ritorial, rather than national, scope.

Having embodied as thoroughly as
possible in this short report the neces-
sity of instituting such a bureau and
the courses which can be pursued to the
desired end, it is now incumbent upon
the members of the society to determine
which method they consider best
adapted to meet the situation, as pre-
sented here.

Extracts from the statemont of Patrick Welch,
chairman, at a meftinK of the S. A. F. commit-
tee on credits and collections bureau, at New
York, August 20. . . ,,

Another convention of the S. A. F.
has passed into history. In quality of
attendance and exhibits, it left nothing
to be desired. It carried one back to
the time when, at the suggestion of the
late William Scott, the first trade ex-
hibit, consisting of ferns, was set up at
the Buffalo convention by Henry A.
Dreer, Inc. The varieties grown at that
time were well done, but vastly superior
ones are now seen, although many of the
older and popular kinds are yet in com-
merce.

The exhibits of decorative plants
proved the assertion that home-grown
stock is preferable, and the exigencies
of the situation have brought out the
best efforts of the grower, with the re-
sult that possibly finer stock was
seji^O.inj if ever, seen at any trade, or
evien flower, show. That there were not
more buyers oir .visitors to show appreci-

ation is to be deplored, but the fact
seemingly remains that to roach the
purchaser today it is necessary to do
so by means of a pen picture via the
route of the trade press. The display of
florists' supplies was the acme of per-
fection, absolutely nothing lacking that
is demanded by the floral artist in these
modern times.

The absence of Dutch bulbs was no-
ticed, and the reason for this is well
understood. It was announced, how-
ever, that a shipment had left a Hol-
land port, so that there may be enough
for the seedsmen to supply their retail
trade. Otherwise this loss alone will be
far more serious than that of the
grower.

As the social features in the main
were eliminated, there was afforded
many of the old guard an opportunity
for reminiscences, and one ran across

many groups indulging in recalling fa-
miliar scenes, past but never forgotten.
But, in the language of Robert Karl-
strom, landscape architect of A. N.
Pierson, Inc., "We take a vastly
broader view of things, and looking into
the grand perspective of the future we
see tremendous possibilities for our busi-
ness." This seemed to be the sentiment
of all, and when the veterans, Eobert
Craig and E. G. Hill, spoke, their fire
enthused the younger element, who
eagerly listened to and absorbed the
words of wisdom so freely imparted.

When Commodore Westcott presented
the beautiful chest of silver to Presi-
dent Kerr, with a speech full of punch,
Fred Lautenschlager remarked that the
outburst of enthusiasm exceeded the
noise made by the exhaust on their most
powerful boiler, and, as he is an expert
on such matters, one can imagine how
popular our president has made himself.

No untoward incident happened to
mar the occasion, unless what might
have been a serious accident could be
called such. Julius Ludwig, of Pitts-
burgh, and C. Ford, of Philadelphia,
were in the act of boarding a car. The
car gave a lurch and threw both men
headlong, temporarily laming Mr. Lud-
wig and bruising Mr. Ford, also scat-
tering his books and papers. Gathering
them together, he commented that the
"bruising came easier than the orders."

The meetings were most harmonious,
in direct contrast to the noise without,
where the rappings of a pneumatic ham-
mer on an immense hotel in course of
erection threatened to drown all other
sound, and even at the meeting of the
American Rose Society, when President
Benjamin Hammond invited all "to the
front as at a love feast," one had diffi-
culty in hearing the good things being
told about. W. M.

WIND STORM INSURANCE

ffdr?s?i!^tys?ir7S?ir^^s?ir?svi^stir?SYir?^

AT the time President Kerr ap-
pointed your committee on wind
storm insurance the State Florists' As-
sociation of Indiana was working to
organize a company among the florists
of the United States for mutual protec-
tion against damage from hail, wind
and snow. I will briefly review the
work that has been done and what led
up to it.

March 23, as you all know, a cyclone
passed over New Albany, Ind., taking
a toll of fifty-one lives and approxi-
mately $1,000,000 worth of property.
Our place of about 250,000 square feet,
while not directly in tiie path of the
storm, was badly wrecked and, as near
as we can figure at this time, the loss to
our buildings amounts to about $35,000,
besides the loss in stock and trade. Mr.
Swift's place of about 7,000 square feet
was totally destroyed and the green-
houses of Gueltig, Pontrich, Laden and
Aebersold, all small places, were badly
damaged. About the same time torna-
does visited other places, notably New-
castle, Ind., and Mattoon, 111.

The Search for Data.

I had tried on several occasions to
get wind storm insurance, but the rates
up to about a year ago were so high
(about $30 per $1,000) that it was out
of the question to carry this kind of in-
surance. Too late I have learned that
for the last year it has been possible to
get insurance for about $11 per $1,000.
But the protection is not satisfactory.
You have to carry a full insurance to
get this rate; if only partial insurance
is carried the rate is double. The com-
pany will not pay for broken glass un-
less twenty per cent of the framework
is destroyed. The insurance only covers
the superstructure. Benches, steam
pipes, etc., are not included. After
what happened, which we had always
dreaded but hoped would not happpen,
I felt I had to have protection at any
cost.

While I still have courage to rebuild

convention.

and have faith in the future, I question,
if a similar calamity were to over-
take me ten years from now, whether I
would have the courage to go ahead.
I might face want in my old age; so I
took out $50,000 worth of insur-
ance, for which I paid $550 for one
year, although I felt this rate was
exorbitant and altogether out of propor-
tion to the losses from wind storms to
greenhouses. In the past I have often
thought of the possibility of forming a
mutual company among greenhousemeu
for protection against damage from
wind storms; in fact, I had proposed to
the Hail Association that it widen its
scope and include wind. The directors
of this association, however, were never
in favor of this, claiming that there
were obstacles in tlie way that seemed
insurmountable. Time may proVe that
they were right, but I had enough faitli
in it to at least give it a trial. To get
information on wliich to base rates and
get the sentiment in regard to such an
association, I sent postcards, with reply
cards attached, to 500 of the largest
growers in all sections of the country,
asking the following questions:

How mucli have yon lost by wind storm in the
last ten years'.'

In what year tliil loss occur?

What is the size of your range?

What construction? AH steel, or pipe or wood-
frame? ' •''

Would you join a mutual company for insuring
aitainst wind and luiil if rates could be made
reasonable?

About 150 replies were received, with
more than two-thirds in favor of a
mutual company. The replies repre-
sented about 16,500,000 square feet of
glass, with a total loss of about $165,-
000 in ten years. Figuring the average
value of greenhouses at $500 per 1,000
square feet, this would make the losses
one-fifth of one per cent per year. How-
ever, it is reasonable to suppose that
the 150 who replied averaged more
losses than the 350 who took no inter-
est, and from this standpoint the losses
would average much less than one-fifth
of one per cent. After getting thig in-
formation for a working basi^"i'fta' re-
ceiving many letters indorsing the
movement, I brought 'the matter before

the State Florists' Association of In-
diana. I realized that this was not a
one man's job and that I, being prac-
tically unknown to the trade at large,
could not inspire tlie confidence that
the Indiana society could. Further-
more, as the state of Indiana has been
the worst sufferer from storms this year,
many of her florists sustaining heavy
losses, it. seemed to me that more in-
terest would be taken there than any
otlier place.

Covers Hall, Snow and Wind Damages.

I was not disappointed. Money was
voted to carry on the preliminary work,
and a committee of five, Herman Junge,
A. F. J. Baur, Charles Pahud, Lennes
Elder and myself, was appointed to
draft a constitution and by-laws and to
formulate' a working plan.

The first question that presented it-
self to this committee was the scope of
the association. Should it be confined
to wind storm insurance, or should hail
and snow be included. After careful
consideration it was unanimously
agreed that all three should be included,
for the reason that in many cases it
would be hard to determine what dam-
age was done by hail, wind or snow.

We realized that, by including hail,
in some measure we would interfere
with the Florists' Hail Association,
which has been such a benefit to the
trade at large, so we decided to go no
farther before proposing to them that
they include wind storm insurance.
The matter was presented at the board
of directors' meeting at Trenton, N. J.,
June 8, but it was found that the asso-
ciation's charter did not give it the
privilege to insure against any kind
of damage except from hail. We then
proceeded to draft a constitution and
Ijy-laws. In this work we were greatly
jis.sisted by having a copy of the new
constitution and by-laws of the Hail
Association, prepared by J. A. Valen-
tine, of Denver, Colo. He kindly con-
sented to let us copy as much of it as
we could use, we making such changes
as we found necessary for our ])urpose,
and to comply with the insurance laws
of Indiana.

The Grading of Risks.

We gave much thought to the grading
of the risk, but as there are hardly two
greenhouses built alike we divided them
into four classes. All steel or iron-
frame houses, with double strength
glass; all steel or iron-frame houses,
with single glass; pipe or wood-frame,
with double strength glass; pipe or
wood-frame, with single glass. As age
enters into wind resistance of green-
liouscs, any applicant will have to state
the year in wliich each house was built,
and the by-laws provide for inspection
in doubtful cases and the termination
of risks that have become unsafe.

Mutual insurance, well managed,
means insurance at actual cost. Stock
companies are in the business to make
money. That means insurance at cost,
plus a profit for the stockholders.

From the records we deemed it fair
and just to rate the wliole country
alike, as far as wind storms are con-
cerned. We, of course, provided a lower
rate for steel-frame houses, as there is
no question tliat they will with-
stand more wind than pipe-frame
houses. On account of the greater fre-
quency of hail in tlie west, we divided
the country into two districts, one

cast of the Mississippi, including Min-
nesota, and the other west of the Missis-
sippi. The reports of the Florists' Hail
Association, for the years ending 1914-
1915, and 1916, show that the risk is
several times greater in the west than
in the east, and our first assessments
are based on these reports. These re-
ports also show that single strength
glass is more than twice as ^isky as
double; hence the higher rates.

The by-laws provide that if condi-
tions should change, and the risk be-
come less in the west and greater in
the east, the rates will be adjusted.
The object will be, as far as possible,
to do justice to florists in all parts of
the country. The proposed by-laws pro-
vide that no loss less than one-half of
one per cent shall be paid. This is to
eliminate the adjustment of small,
pettj' losses, as the object of the asso-
ciation should be to protect against
losses that will materially affect the
insured.

Hills Not a Protection?

The protection against snow we had
to eliminate, as the insurance laws of
Indiana do not provide for this; but
when the legislature meets, we have no
doubt we can have a law passed that
will permit us to include insurance of
that kind. It may interest you to know
that a great many of those to whom our
postcards were sent and who replied
that they were not interested in wind

storm insurance, gave as a reason that
they never had wind storms severe
enough to damage. Others said they
were protected by hills. New Albany is
protected by hills on the southwest,
west and northwest. The cyclone that
struck us came right down the side of
the highest hill, cutting down trees and
everything else in its path. We had a
pet theory that the hills would protect
us, but we have had to change our
minds.

The state board of Indiana will act as
trustee until a sufficient number have
joined to incorporate; at such time a
membership meeting will be held and
twelve trustees elected, the trustees to
be selected from all over the country.
The business will then be turned over
to them and the Indiana florists' societj'
reimbursed only for money actually
paid out. The work of the committee
is done absolutely free of charge and
we shall feel well repaid if we are in-
strumental in helping to start a move-
ment that should prove a protection to
the florists and greenhousemen of the
United States; that will make it pos-
sible, by a reasonable outlay of money,
to secure a man from losing, in a few
seconds, what it often has taken a life-
time to accumulate.

[The convention authorized the ap-
pointment of a special and independent
committee to investigate the Indiana
plans and give the official indorsement
of the S. A. F. if found worthy.— Ed.]

Mr AMERICA VS. EUROPE

nr

THE question of importation of
plants from foreign countries to
supply the florists' trade of America
has become of paramount importance,
and the nursery and florists' interests
must consider whether they will con-
tinue to import such foreign material,
which may be considered necessary to
the carrying out of the business, or co-
operate in growing their own suj)ply at
home.

In many cases the best tliat can l»e
said of a large percentage of the im-
ported material is that tlie American
florist*gets plants in an inferior condi-
tion somewhat cheaper than a better
class of the same stock could be pro-
duced at liome, liut, having ])ei'ome ac-
customed to purchasing this foreign
stock, he lias fallen into the erroneous
belief that stock of this cliaracter can-
iTot be produced in this country and
there is nothing else for him to do.

The reasons why the American florists'
and nursery trades should grow the
greatest bulk of the material which they
now import are many. The sooner the
nurserymen and plant growers of Amer-
ica awaken to the possibilities of their
own country for producing the needed
stock, the better. The rose growers
of California have long produced their
own stocks for budding, and certain
California nurseries have long grown
their own Mariana and Mazzard stocks.
No nurseryman would think of import-
ing peach stocks for budding, instead
of planting Carolina pits and growing

oonyention.

them himself. Carnations originally
came from Europe, but who would look
to I^urope today for a stock of carna-
tion plants to be grown in America?
The grapes now grown in California
originally came from France or Spain,
but what California vineyardist would
go to France or Spain to stock liis vine-
yards now? As it is with these things
toda\, so may it be with many things
in the near future, or whenever Amer-
ican energy and capital, coupled with
cultural skill, set out to produce them.
U. S. Can Supply Own Needs.

Someone has said the old argument is
always advanced that in this land of
ours anything can be produced that is
jii educed elsewhere, and while admit-
ting the saying is applicable to manu-
factured articles, it has been denied
ihat it is applicable to the products of
nature; that nature drops her favors in
widely scattered localities, not always
within the borders of our own countries.
In reply to such statements the asser-
tion may well be risked that there are
not a dozen articles necessary to the
florists' or nursery trade of the United
States imported today tliat cannot be
produced somewhere in this country
under climatic and soil conditions
which are more favorable than the con-
ditions often existing in most of the
localities where the imported stock is
produced.

As an example, Belgian azaleas used
for forcing are now being grown by
hundreds of thousands at Eureka, Cal.
The plants not only make better and
stronger growth, and larger plants can
be produced in a shorter grow-

ing period than in Belgium, but'
the plants finish their budding a
month earlier, are more uniformly
budded and the buds are thor-
oughly ripe before the shipping season
commences, so that when the stock is
delivered to the American forcer it will
bo of better quality than Belgian-grown
stock, and in the process of delivery
will not be exposed to the damage in
transit which frequently occurs with
Belgian azaleas shipped across the
ocean.

Again, taking all of the nursery stock
that is imported from Holland and
France, there are not many items pro-
duced by the Holland growers, or by
the French nurserymen, which cannot
be produced of superior quality in a
large area of country, comprising the
bulk of the Humboldt county, Cal.,
coast line and continuing northward to
the British Columbia line. Hundreds
of thousands of boxwoods, heretofore
exclusively Holland products, can be
seen in all stages of growth in northern
California, and the same is true of hol-
lies, broad-leaved evergreens, rhododen-
drons and all of the coniferous ever-
greens. The hardy azaleas, which have
been heretofore almost exclusively im-
ported from Holland and Japan, are
now being grown in the same lavish
quantities in northern California.
Bulb Production.

Take the question of hyacinth, tulip,
narcissus and other bulbs, commonly
known as Dutch bulbs. There are mil-
lions of these bulbs now growing along
the Pacific coast at various points from
Santa Cruz northward to Vancouver,
B. C, and in the vicinity of Norfolk,
Va. Here, again, may be found locali-
ties where the climatic and soil condi-
tions are far superior to the conditions
in which these bulbs are grown in any
part of Europe. In Holland, in spite
of the conditions that are decidedly
unfavorable for the culture of these
bulbs when compared with the condi-
tions in the Pacific coast bulb district,
the Hollanders have, through sheer de-
votion ,to their business, and stubbornly
and laboriously giving the culture of
these bulbs their undivided attention,
and also through shrewd ability to ad-
vertise and sell their goods, enjoyed a
])ractical monopoly of what is known
as Dutch bulb growing, simply because
no one else in any other part of the
world has thought it worth while to
delve deeply into commercial bulb cul-
ture, and give it the necessary atten-
tion to make a success of it.

In the Eureka bulb district lilies grow
luxuriantly and, when left alone, in-
crease from year to year until enormous
clumps that bloom annually are the
result. Gladiolus bulbs which were
planted three years ago turned out
clumps of from ninety to 110 salable
bulbs to the clump. These bulbs had
not been cultivated and were sur-
rounded by a thick growth of grass.
The same was found to be true of all
Aarieties of narcissi, and in some in-
stances clumps of hyacinths were dis-
covered which had been blooming in
the same position for several years.
Examination of these clumps showed
large, vigorous, solid bulbs in perfect
health, with not a sign of disease of
any kind.

Now, it seems that this will ulti-
mately prove to be the true solution of
the question of providing the necessary
stock to carry on the florists' and nurs-

The Florists^ Review

91

The ex-presidents of the New York
Florists' Club gave a luncheon on the
evening of August 21 to some of the
prominent members of the S. A. F. from
out of town. Those in attendance were
F. E. Pierson, W. F. Gude, John West-
cott, Eobert Craig, E. G, Hill, Frank
Traendly, George Asmus, Charles
Critchell, Charles H. Totty, A. L. Miller,
John Canning, Henry Weston, Joseph
A. Manda, W. H. Siebrecht, Sr., Philip
F. Kessler, W. A. Manda and A. Her-
rington. There were much jollity and
felicitation. The principal speakers
were Robert Craig, John Westcott, E. G.
Hill, W. F. Gude and George Asmus.

Mrs. A. L. Miller entertained a party
of sixteen ladies with an automobile
ride August 22, with tea at Hotel Shel-
bourne, Coney Island.

Mrs. F. H. Traendly entertained a
party of ladies August 22 on a trip to
Long Beach, L. I., with tea at the Hotel
Nassau.

A large party visited Cromwell,
Conn., August 24 as guests of A. N.
Pierson, Inc.

C. L. Baum, of Knoxville, Tenn.,
drove to the convention in his car, be-
ing accompanied by his two youngest
sons, a friend and the driver of his
store truck. The distance one way is
nearly 900 miles. They got through with
no more trouble than one slow leak in
a tube.

Five half-barrel tubs of hydrangeas
in splendid flower, supplied by F. R.
Pierson Co., Tarrytown, graced the en-
trance to the trades' display and added
greatly to the first impression of the
show as the visitors mounted the grand
staircase. ^

Although there was no general enter-
tainment program, there were many
hospitalities carried out by individuals
and business houses. The most elaborate
of these was the excursion party con-
ducted by Hitchings & Co. More than
100 of the visitors met at the Pennsyl-
vania terminal the morning after the
convention closed and were escorted to
Elizabeth, N, J., where they were met
by automobiles and taken to the Hitch-
ings factory. After seeing how green-
house materials are turned out on seven
acres of floor space, luncheon was
served at the splendid new club of the
Elks. Thence the autos made the trip
through the delightful hills and dales
known as the Jersey Berkshires to Mad-
ison, where the Hitchings people are
just finishing a splendid range of five
steel-frame houses for the Duckham-
Pierson Co. The houses are 61x500,
each house containing 30,000 rose
plants. For these houses 4,800 boxes
of glass were used. There are fifteen
miles of pipe in the heating system,
although most of it is out of sight in a
tunnel. Three 200-horsepower boilers
are connected to a stack 140 feet high.
Erection was started May 15 and the
range practically completed and plant-
ed in three months. Short stops also
weare made at the establishment of L. B.

Coddington, at Murray Hill, where there
are 140,000 feet of glass in roses, and
at President-elect C. H. Totty 's, where
tlic mums are a sight worth any
grower's envy. The return to Elizabeth
and New York was made in the evening
at the end of a day of delight.

There was general satisfaction with
the elimination of all general enter-
tainment. The New York precedent
will be followed at St. Louis for the
combined flower show and convention,
because the time will be fully occupied,
and at Detroit, because that city was
selected without invitation, so it is
probable the frolic features have been
cut out for good.

The feature of the trades' display
was the showing of florists' supplies,
the feature of the florists' supplies was
the high quality of the merchandise and
the feature of the quality was the fact
that the stock all was made in America.
One of the slight compensations for the
war is the fact that America has be-
come independent of Europe on this
class of merchandise.

When the middle-western visitors
went over to the wholesale cut flower
section and found $2 apiece was being
asked for eattleyas it created even
more talk than did the humidity in the
atmosphere.

ANOTHER SOCIETY PLANNED.

A letter has been mailed to all flo-
rists in northern Iowa and southern
Minnesota, which is self-explanatory.
It is hoped that a meeting can l^e held
in Mason City, on account of its central
location, early in September. The let-
ter follows:

On account of the general increase In the cost
of labor and all materials used in the florists'
business it has occurred to the A. N. Kinsman
Co., of Austin, Minn., tlie Lake Shore Green-
house Co., of Albert Lea, Minn., and the Kemblo
& Goodman Co., of Mason City, Iowa, tliat an
association^ of the florists of northern Iowa and
southern Minnesota could only result in mutual
benefit at this strenuous time. Tlie Iowa and
Minnesota druggists, coal dealers, clothiers, etc.,
iire nil members of their organizations, working
together for the common good, and there is cer-
tainly no good reason why the florists should be
tlic last to join the ranks.

The florists of Nebraska and central Iowa
organized about the first of the year and have
already secured wonderful results In adopting
uniform agents' commissions, prompter payment
of accounts, discontinuing tlie payment of tele-
phone charges and the prepayment of express
charges on flowers consigned to agents. These
are only a few of the things we have in mind
and on whicli uniform action will increase your
profits.

If you were a member of such an association
you would at all times be in touch with other
members and could dispose of your surplus stock
to better advantage and buy closer to home.

This communication is being mailed to all flo-
rists in our territory and we will be glad to have
you join us. Will you do so and will you attend
tlie first meeting? A meeting will be called early
in September and it is our earnest hope that the
benefits to all will be far-reaching.

BUSINESS EMBARRASSMENTS.

Portland, Ore. — The business con-
ducted under the name of Floral Studio,
at 346 Alder street, has been ordered
discontinued by the courts. The liabil-
ities are placed at $2,000, with assets
aggregating about one-fourth that
amount. R. L. Sabin has been appointed
receiver.

THE TRADE IN TRAINING.

Florists Prepare for Wax.

Each week sees more members of the
trade in the various training camps
where the soldiers of Uncle Sam are
learning the rules that govern modern
warfare, preparatory to going to the
battle-fronts in Europe. While many
names have been enrolled on The Re-
view's roster of those in the trade who
have volunteered, or have been drafted,
there are undoubtedly others who have
gone. Of these The Review would like
to hear.

Back from War Zone.

George W. Crawbuck, Jr., son of the
New York wholesaler, returned last
week from Europe aboard one of Uncle
Sam's sea fighters, and was home for
a few days before resuming his duties
as a member of the navy.

Two Go from Denver.

Eugene Ardeldt and Zeal Nefif, mein-
bers of the staff of the Broadway store
of the Park Floral Co., Denver, Colo.,
have joined the army and are,p_qw in
Colorado training camps. Mr.' Ardeldt
is a member of the engineers' corps at
the rifle range near G6lden, Colo., and

Mr. Neff is with the cavalry at Camp
Baldwin.

Goes to Fight For France.

Andre Bourdet, of St. Louis, Mo., son
of Jules Bourdet, vice-president-elect
of the S. A. F., has departed on the first
lap of his journey to the trenches in
France, the country in which he was
born. He left St. Louis August 2."?
with the Fifth Missouri regiment for
the training camp at Nevada, Mo.
With him went Ray Young, also the sou
of a St. Louis florist. Both of the young
men are members of a machine gun
company.

Brock Is Busy,

The race war at Houston, Tex., has
brought national prominence of a not
altogether desirable kind for the man
wlio had charge of the S. A. F. con-
vention garden of 1916. Clarence L.
Brock, at that time head of the park
system, and Vice-president Kerr's
right-hand man in the convention
preparations, has since become Chief of
Police and is in charge of the officers
whose treatment of colored troops pro-
voked the uprising. Chief Brock is a
member of the S. A. F. and a member
of (lie conyention ,g9.r.dcn committee un-
til December 31, 1918.

CODE OF ROSE NOMENCLATURE.

Adopted by the Rose Society.

At its meeting in Now York August
23 the American Kose Society adopted
tlie following:

PUEAMRLE.
RoaliziiiK the great confusion and inconve-
nience tliat arise from a duplication of names
and recognizinK tlie Brent convenience and satis-
faction to tlie rosarian, and especially to tlie
cottago gardener, of simple, usable names, the
American Rose Society adopts the foUowinK
rules of nomenclature, to appl.v to the names
used in all the publications of this society and
at its exhibitions, and at exhibitions to which
it contributes medals:

PRIOUITY.

Rule 1. No two varieties of roses shall bear
the same name. The name first publislied shall
be tlie accepted and recognized one. except in
cases where the name has been applied in viola-
tion of this code.

NAME.

Rule 2. In selecting iiMines for varieties the
following points should be emphasized: Dis-
tinctiveness. simpli<'ity, ease of iironunciation
and spelling, indication of origin or parentage.

PIBLICATION
Rule 3. Publication consists (1) in registra-
tion with the American Rose Society; or (2) in
•tlie distribution of a printed description of the
variety named, giving the distinguishing charac-
ters of flower, foliage, plant, etc.; or (3) in the
publication of a new name for a variety that is
properl.v described elsewhere, such p'.iblication
to be made in any book, bulletin, rejiort, trade
catalogue or i)erio(lical, provided the issue bears
tlie date of its luiblication and is generally dis-
tributed among rose growers, florists, nurser.v-
men and horti<'ulturists; or (4) in certain cases
the general recognition of a name for a propa-
gated variety in ii cfunniunity for a number of
years shall constitute pulilication of that name.

CITATION.
Rule 4. In the full and formal citation of a
variety name, tin- name of tlie originator or in-
troducer who first iiublislied or exhibited it,
shall also be given.

REVISION.

Rule o. No jiroperly itublished variet.v name
shall be changed for any reason except conflict
with this code, nor shall another variety be sub-
stituteil for that originally described thereunder.
Necessary changes to conform to the jirovisions
of this code shall be recommended by tlie com-
mittee on nomenclature and adopted by vote of
the society before being officially recognized.
ENFORCE.MENT.

Rule fi. A. The secretary shall withhold
registration of any name not conforming to
these rules, or. if in doubt, shall refer the ap-
])lication to the nomenclature committee for
recommendation.

R. The society will withhold its medals and
money prizes from American roses whose names
do not conform to these rules, or foreign roses
not exhibited under the names as modified by
the society.

V. The secretary and editor of the publica-
tions of the American Rose Society are em-
powered and directed to carry out these rules
in all literature issued by the society.

In applying tlie foregoing rules the following
principles shall be recognized:

RULE 1— PRIORITY.

A. The paramount right of the originator,
discoverer or introducer of a new variety to
name it, within the limitations of this code, is
recognized and empliasized.

B. Where a variety ntime through long usage
has liecome thoroughly established in American
floricultural literature for two or more varieties.

it should not lie displaced or radically modified
for either variety, except in cases where a well
known synonym can be advanced to the position
of leading name. The several varieties bearing
identical names should be distinguished by add-
ing the name of the originator or introducer of
each sort, or by adding some other suitable dis-
tinguishing term that will insure their identity
in catalogues or discussions.

C. Existing American names of varieties
which conflict with earlier published foreign
names of the same or other varieties, but which
have become thoroughly establislied tlirougii long
usage, shall not be displaced.

RULE 2.— NAMING.

A. No variety shall be named unless distinctly
superior to existing varieties in some Important
characteristic, nor until it has been determined
to disseminate it.

B. When the exigencies of a case make it
appear expedient, such words as white, red,
double, and similar ones, may be used as part
of a name, but not such names as seedling,
hybrid or sport.

C. The spelling and pronunciation of a varie-
tal name derived from a personal or geographical
name shall be governed by the rules that control
the spelling and pronunciation of the name from
which it is derived.

1). A variety imported from a foreign country
shall retain its foreign name, subject only to
such modification as is necessary to conform it
to this code.

E. The name of a person should not be ap-
plied to a variety during his life without his
expressed consent. The name of a deceased
horticulturist should not be so applied except
with the consent of his or her heirs.

F. Tlie use of a latinized name, for a variet.y,
or a cross, or hybrid, is not admissible.

(r. The use of a number, either singly or at-
tached to a word, should be considered only as
a temporar.v expedient while the variety is
undergoing preliminary test.

II. In applying the various provisions of this
rule to an existing varietal name that has
through long usage become firmly imbedded in
American floricultural literature, no change shall
be made which will involve loss of identity.

RULE 3— CITATION.

A. In determining the name of a variet.v to
which two or more names have been given, that
which was published first, in conformity to the
rules of this code, shall be recognized.

On motion of Robert Pyle it was

voted that it shall be allowable to use a

name for a variety which has been in

previous existence, provided tlie name

has not been in use for at least twenty

years.

OBITUARY.

Miss Adelaide Kresken.

Miss Adelaide Kresken, for many
years a florist at Cincinnati, O., died
August 25 at her home in Clifton, near
tliat city. Miss Kresken was taken sick
shortly after her return from the S. A.
F. convention at San Francisco two
years ago, and since that time had not
been in good healtli.

Miss Kresken was born in Krefeld,
Germany, fifty-two years ago. When
she was 4 years old her parents came
to this country and opened a flower
store at Cincinnati. Miss Kresken was
about the place from childhood, and
ultimately became its owner.

She is survived by her father, A. H.
Kresken, and one brother, Lawrence
Kresken. C. H. H.

ST. LOUIS.

The Market.

The rain and cooler weather of last
week benefited stock, which has been
coming in better quality. Asters are
in good demand, especially the lighter
shades, which are taking the place of
carnations, the latter being of poor
quality and short supply. Gladioli are
flooding the market and are cheap.
Special colors demand somewhat better
prices, while mixed colors sell for as
low as $1 per hundred.

Tuberoses are coming daily by the
thousands and sell at $1 per hundred.
There are many roses coming, most of
them being of poor quality. The
best flowers all are ordered in ad-
vance of their arrival. Hydrangeas are
in demand for funeral work. Orchids
and good valley continue scarce. Lilies,
both Easter and auratum, are in fair
supply and bring good prices. There
is a good supply of green. Boston
ferns are in big demand.

Various Notes.

The St. Louis Retail Florists' Asso-
ciation held its regular meeting at the
Mission Inn Garden August 20, the
attendance being small, with the result
that there was little business trans-
acted. President Fred H. Weber says
that those who attended the S. A. P.
convention at New York will be asked
to report at the next meeting. Among
them was Richard Tubesing, secretary
of the club.

The St. Louis County Growers' Asso-
ciation will hold its next regular meet-
ing September 5 at the Eleven Mile
House. President Rowe says the meet-
ing will be interesting, as the hail and
coal committees will make their flnal
reports, which are important to the
members.

George H. Angermueller, who had
been ill for a week, has recovered and
is back at his store.

been good during August.

Mr. and Mrs. J. J. Windier, of
Windier 's Flowers, have returned from
two weeks' vacation spent at the Hill-
crest Club, near Crescent, Mo. Edward
Guntly, the other member of the firm,

Edward Griffen, superintendent of
parks at East St. Louis, will entertain
the park superintendents who attend on
the first day of the convention here
September 11 to 13.

A baby girl arrived at the home of
Fred Strohmeyer, head designer for the
Ayres Floral Co., August 17. Both Mrs.
Strohmeyer and the baby are doing
well.

Visitors last week were James A.
Biggam, of the Alpha Floral Co., Kan-
sas City, Mo., and Julius Dilloff, repre-
senting Schloss Bros., New York city.

A. S. Cerny's establishment at Kirk-
wood, Mo., is in splendid shape for n
big crop of roses and carnations this
season. J. J. B.

NEW YORK.

The Market.

Business was quiet among the whole-
sale houses last week, and at the clean-
up August 25 buyers could procure stock
at their own price. Asters and gladioli
were so abundant that much of the
poorer stock could not be moved. Eoses
are improving and some good flowers
now are arriving, among them being
Iladley and Eussell. American Beau-
ties are firm at $25 per hundred, a few
of the selected flowers being as high
as $30. Anything perfect in hybrid
teas was quickly absorbed. Most of
the rose shipments, however, are low-
grade stock, which sells at from 25
cents to $2 per hundred.

There were few orchids of any vari-
ety in the market. Perfect gigas were
so scarce that from $1.50 to $2 each
was offered for them. A few gardenias
« ame from Newport, E. I. There are
practically no carnations coming at
present. Lilies are abundant; conse-
quently the prices did not go over $3
])er hundred, with the majority selling
at $2. Eubrums sold as low as $1 per
hundred.

The market was flooded with gladioli
and only perfect flowers of the new
varieties could be moved. The waste
was enormous. The same is true of
asters. A few select flowers of both
varieties sold as high as $2 per hun-
dred. Valley continues scarce, perfect
flowers bringing $6 and $8 per hundred.
The supply of hydrangeas is increasing.
Tritomas and tuberoses are abundant.
There were also large shipments of out-
side stock.

Various Notes.

The regular meeting of the New York
Florists' Club will be held September

a iiospital.

J. K. Allen has returned from the
mountains of New Jersey, where he
spent a two weeks' vacation.

Mr. and Mrs. H. C. Eiedel were born
on the same day of the year, August. 23,
and celebrated the dual anniversary
last week.

Edward Ancker, head salesman for
Traendly & Schenck, and his family
have returned from the Catskill moun-
tains, where they spent a two weeks'
vacation.

Convention visitors were greatly in-
terested in the collection of pictures at
the Traendly & Schenck store, 436 Sixth
avenue, which have been accumulated
during the last twenty-five years.

The exhibits of Bobbink & Atkins,
H. A. Dreer, Inc., and A. N. Pierson,
Inc., were bought by M. Gottlieb, 611

promotion since enlisting.

J. Austin Shaw.

Mrs. Jasper E. Lewis, who was oper-
ated on August 20, is convalescing and
her complete and speedy recovery is
expected, although the operation was a
serious one.

When Charles Meehan recently sev-
ered his connection with what then was
the S. S. Pennock-Meehan Co., of Phila-
delphia, his friends predicted that he
would not be long out of the trade.
They were correct. Now it is an-
nounced that Mr. Meehan will open a
wholesale place at 14 South Mole
street, Philadelphia, early in Septem-
ber.

Alexander Montgomery, whose thirty-
seven years of rose growing in the
interests of the Waban Eose Conserva-
tories, at Natick, Mass., has made that
establishment the Mecca of rose grow-
ers, has resigned his position as super-
intendent of the conservatories in order
to retire to Hadley, Mass., where his
sons operate a large rose range under
the name of Montgomery Eose Co. Eus-
sell and Hadley were originated by the
Hadley company.

The prick of a rose thorn or a piece
of wire in the second finger of his right
hand developed into blood poisoning
and Thomas Eeynolds, 757 Manhattan
avenue, Brooklyn, N. Y., was forced to
go to a hospital and have the finger
amputated, together with several bones
and tendons in the back of the hand.
The injury was so slight whep. , 8,i^-
tained that Mr. Eeynolds paid no at-
tention to it. It will , be some time
before he is able to return to the active
management of his store.

At least three florists are going to be
]>repared for the influx of cash sched-
uled to come with the opening of the
fail season, for the June sales report of
the National Cash Eegister Co. shows
that in that month registers were sold
to G. E. Valker, of Minot, N. D.; Walter
C. Champreux, of Stockton, Cal., and E.
A. Fetters, of Detroit. The lowest sell-
ing price was $475 and the highest
$785. There must be money in the busi-
ness.

Autoists in the trade, especially those
who delight in putting their foot on the
accelerator, should tender a vote of
confidence to Charles E. Greening,
liresident of the Greening Nursery Co.,
Monroe, Mich. Mr. Greening is the lead-
ing sjjirit in a movement to establish
a road between Monroe and Toledo, O.,
l>arallel with the present road and sepa-
rated from it by a narrow parking.
The speed limit on the new road is to
1)0 forty miles per hour.

Florists in all parts of the country
have been liberal in their cash and
stock contributions to aid A. D. King,
of Mattoon, 111., to reestablish liimself
in business. The King greenhouse range
and home were completely destroyed by
the tornado of May 26, and through the
efforts of J. F. Ammann, secretary of
the Illinois State Florists' Association,
the cash receipts to date have mounted
to $259, in addition to quantities of
stock.

RESULTS.

We give them. You get them.

We both have them.

There is every indication of a scarcity
of pot plants during the approaching sea-
son.

The coal men are beginning to choke on
the smoke from the fire of public indig-
nation their price-raising aroused.

Don't talk about raising prices; wake
up to the fact that the public is paying
more for flowers than heretofore and get
your share.

Two bulb-laden steamers of the Hol-
land-America line are on the way
across the Atlantic. They carry nearly
three-fourths of a normal year's im-
ports of bulbs.

The trade has acquired confidence that
business will be good during the autumn
and winter; indeed, the New York conven-
tion did much to produce a belief that
the flower business this season will be
better than ever before.

The primulinus hybrid gladioli occupy
the center of the stage in the east. They
have made a hit with the retailers, who
find them an improvement for their pur-
poses because of their grace and colors,
and the growers recommend them unqual-
ifiedly for forcing.

The growers of palms have needed no
other encouragement to raise prices than
that afforded by supply and demand.
There are few palms of other than the
emaller sizes, a shortage is imminent and
prices are on a level that will compare
with those of food and other merchandise.

If you have the idea that it is not feas-
ible for florists individually to raise retail
prices, travel a week in the east and note
what some of the members of the trade
have done.

There has been an excellent demand

for field-grown carnation plants so far

this season, although many report that

the call did not start until somewhat

.later than usual.

The influence of the late spring still is
to be seen in many branches of the trade,
particularly in the supply of cut flowers
and in the condition of the crops that
follow the bedding plants.

It is pleasant to hear a cut flower
grower like Joseph Heacock say that
the season of 1916-17 was the largest in
money returns and cash profit of any
since he went into rose growing. Evi-
dently in these times it pays better than
ever to grow good stock.

Distinctiveness is one of the prime
requisites of a new variety of almost any
of our popular flowers. There has been
much improvement, but many novelties
among carnations, sweet peas, gladioli,
peonies and other flowers are too much
like other sorts to be worth another name.

and anyone who has ever attended the
Harvard-Yale or army-navy matches is
struck by the fact that mums are to
football what lilies are to Easter.

NO AZAIJIAS THIS YEAR.

The principal importers of azaleas
have abandoned all efforts to procure
azaleas from Belgium this year. It is
impossible to communicate with the ex-
J)orters and all the difficulties expe-
rienced last season still exist, in addi-
tion to which is the fact that the Unit-
ed States now has a stringent law on
the subject of trading with the enemy
which is held to apply to that part of
Belgium occupied by the Germans. Con-
ditions change almost daily, but there
seems to be little reason to hope to ob-
tain azaleas for next spring's sales.

FOOTBALL AND MXTMS.

A bit of news of cheering character
that filtered in last week was the an-
nouncement that football was not to be
struck off the sports calendar of the
country's colleges, as announced in the
spring shortly after the declaration of
war, but that at the behest of President
Wilson it had been decided to have a
full schedule of intercollegiate games,
both east and west. As every florist
knows, or at least as every college towTi
florist knows, football games represent
no mean outlet for chrysanthemums.
Mums, football and snappy weather are
first cousins, and richer is the retailer
who realizes their relationship and
strives to strike hard while the iron is
hot.

The case is recalled of how an Illinois
florist last year made a study of the
sales possibilities of football games in
his town. Whenever there was a game
he would make a special window dis-
play, featuring in mu^ui, if possible, the
colors of the two contesting schools.
The idea was not only to catch the eye
of home fans, but also to attract the at-
tention of the visiting rooters. Some-
times a special stand was set up at the
football field, and when the home team
left for an out-of-town game there
would be a representative at the depot
to coax the departing fans into wearing
^he "colors," as represented by his
mfima;^

Penn's, of Boston, have found the
football windmv a great sales-maker,

LINE OF LEAST RESISTANCE.

Your product is mighty interesting
to you, but other florists do not seem
to enthuse about it. To get them to
give up real money for it is not so easy
as it looks.

Providing a simple, easy, natural
point of contact — the line of least re-
sistance between your product and the
buyer — 'is the function of The Review.
How well The Review serves its adver-
tisers at a low cost is told by the ad-
vertisers themselves:

Cancel my classified advertisement. The en-
tire 7,000 carnation plants were sold — some re-
sults for one insertion! Thanks. — James B. Kel-
ler, Lexington, Ky., August 23, 1917.

Please discontinue my ad for carnation plants.
The Review sure is a business getter. — A. D.
Kuble, West Indianapolis, Ind., August 20, 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.

FLORISTS.

When a plumber makes a mistake he
charges time for it.

When a lawyer makes a mistake, it's
just what he wanted, because he has a
chance to try the case all over again.

When a carpenter makes a mistake,
it's just what he expected, because the
chances are ten to one he never learned
his business.

When an electrician makes a mistake,
he blames it on "induction," because
nobody knows what that is.

When a doctor makes a mistake, he
buries it.

When a judge makes a mistake, it be-
comes the law of the land.

When a preacher makes a mistake,
nobody knows the difference.

But a florist, he is different. He can-
not turn his mistake into profit, as
other people do. He must use good
judgment; much labor; feed his crops as
well as his furnace; supplicate Provi-
dence for sun and hustle all the time.
In fact, my boy, you've got to "go
some" to be a successful florist.

CHICAaO.

The Market.

The recent cool weather has brought
about a markedly improved tone in
the wholesale cut flower market.
August 25 a shortening of stock of all
kiAds took place, which, continuing
over August 26, found the market in a
tight condition with the first day of
this week. The cool weather has not
only caused a decided shortening of
stock, but has also made for greatly
improved quality. Roses show better
color and more of the longer grades are
arriving.

Although American Beauties are be-
ing cut in slightly larger quantities,
they are still a scarce item and what
stock arrives sells quickly at satisfac-
tory summer prices. Russells, best in
demand as ever, were also decidedly
scarce last week and it was at times
difficult to procure the stock needed.
Ophelia and Milady are the other two
favorites. The former shows greatly im-
proved color. Although most of the
stoek-eoming in-is of the shorter grades,

QLADIOLI

We have every day in quantity many of the newest varieties,

a good increase in the longer stems was
noted last week.

A few field carnations arrive each
day, but the quality is not good. As-
ters, though shorter, continue to arrive
in large quantities. The late varieties,
which show greatly improved quality,
are now, however, replacing the earlier,
cheaper stock. Good grades find a fair
sale, while even the poor quality flowers
move more readily.

There are plenty of gladioli and the
quality here, as in other stock, shows
improvement. America and Mrs. King
still are favorites, but there are many
novelty varieties, arriving only in lim-
ited quantities, which find ready buyers.
Orchids continue scarce, as does valley.
Easter lilies arrive in quantities amply
sufficient to meet the requirements of
an active, but not eager, demand.
There are ])lcnty of rubrum lilies, which
sell fairly well in limited quantities.

Various Notes.

The Hoskins Floral Co., which has
30,000 feet of glass at Elnihurst, has
been reorganized. David J. Hoskins
has retired and H. W. Grover, a job
printer at 3227 Armitage avenue, Chi-
cago, has been elected president. Mr.
Grover is not a florist and seeks a
working manager. The company was
incorporated in 1913, with $25,000 capi-
tal stock. It purchased the old Reid
& Chambers range at Elmhurst and
added considerably to it. Tlie houses
are planted principally to carnations,
mums and sweet peas.
' The Lombard Floral Co., of which
J. G. Schuman is manager, cut its first
flowers August 27 and Mr. Schuman per-
sonallv brought them to the E. C. Am-
ling Co.. with which he has arranged
for the sale of the output. The range
consists of two Moninger houses, each
36x4.30, planted with Killarney Bril-
liant, Milady and Ophelia, principally
the latter. Mrs. Schuman is in the
West Suburban ' hospital again. She
spent seven weeks there, then went

Charles Sharpe, of the Eochester Flo-

gladioli were massed about several

PHILADELPHIA.

The Market.

There has been no change in the cut
flower market during the last few
weeks, although the supply is smaller.
Good gladioli and asters are moving,
but the poorer stock is not in demand
in a dull market. Boses are in fair
demand, at fair prices for the better
grades. Russell, Beauties, Sunburst
and Ophelia are the most used now.
Valley is still in short supply, but can
be had on timely notice. Easter lilies
are holding their own. White cattleyas
are high and scarce. Hydrangeas are
falling in the rear. There is no exces-
sive supply of greens.

Various Notes.

Frank R. Hastings reports that busi-
ness at his store during the last week
was the best this season.

Mr. and Mrs. Emil H. Gerschick
visited the New York convention last
week.

Charles Henry Fox is taking advan-
tage of the dull period by touching up
his store.

Robert Shoch was seen in Atlantic
City enjoying himself after his hard
work. He did not show much wear and
tear.

Robert Craig was pleased with his
firm's sales made at the S. Al'F. con-
vention in NteW York Iftst week.

Philip Welsh was having his car re-
paired the other day. After it was fin-

in and he would give it a tryout on a
steep hill adjacent to the shop. Now,
anyone would think that a man whose
business is repairing autos would be
familiar with speed laws, but it appears
this particular man was not, for they
both had to go to the Northwestern

West Virginia, who while digging his
boiler pit found fuel for use the next
winter. Peter C. Erdman was one of
the group. He said that at his new

not struck coal, he had found the next

boiler pit lie dug into a bed of as fine
sand as was ever seen. Good sand is a
scarce article in this locality, but then,
Pete always was lucky.

Speaking of coal, on a recent trip to
the R. Vincent, Jr., & Sons Co. range,
at \vhite Marsh, Md., it seemed there
was coal everywhere one looked. Every
bin on the place was full, besides sev-
eral carloads that were piled in the field.
I remarked to Mr. Vincent that I had
heard a great deal about the coal ques-
tion lately, but that he did not seem to
be short of coal. He said he could not
tell whether they had been wise in lay-
ing in their stock, but it was a satis-
faction to know that no matter what
the outcome might be, when the time
came to start the fires they were ready.
I asked how many tons there were in
this great mass of coal. He said he
could not just tell me in tons, but the
books showed there was $6,000 worth
of coal to begin the season on. When
we remember there is no forcing done
on this place, this is "some" coal.

At the Leo Niessen Store.

I called at the Leo Niessen Co. store
and found the manager, William Mc-
Kissick, on the sick list. Nothing se-
rious, however, as they expected him to
be off only for the day. William Ekas
is away on his belated vacation. At the
store it was reported that last week was
the first reallv dull week of the summer.
Stock is abundant, with plenty of good
short-stemmed roses. There has been
considerable trouble in getting valley
for the war weddings, but as the store
has had a fine lot of orchids, in many
cases these were used instead.

When this letter reaches its readers,
vacation time will be about over and
florists will be thinking of getting down
to work for another season. I have been
around among many of the growers,
also tlie retail stores, and while, at the
beginning of the summer season, some
of the boys looked upon the future of
the busini'ss with doubt, still there has
been an unprecedented season, and the
growers will be on hand when the bell
rings with a finer line of stock than
ever. To start with, there will be fall
flowers of every kind, plentiful and
good. Chrysanthemums, especially, are

of stock arriving. Asters and gladioli
are the main standbys, while better
roses have been in the market. The
supply is equal to the demand, which
has been fair.

Various Notes.

E. S. Brown & Son have dismantled
their old greenhouses on Prospect ave-
nue, and will not rebuild, there being
too much shade there. They report
that business has been good during the
summer.

Arthur Newell is having a conserva-
tory built at his home on Morningside
drive. It will have a large fountain
in it.

Adolph Mohr's greenhouses at Seven-
ty-sixth street and Broadway are in
shape for the season, his begonias and
cyclamens being especially good.

E. J. Barnes left last week for a
visit in Chicago. He will return about
September 1.

Visitors last week were G. P. Kaupp,
of Nevada, Mo., and George Stiles, of
Oklahoma City, Okla.

W. L. Rock and Frank Stuppy, of
St. Joseph, Mo., were in New York
last week attending the S. A. F. con-
vention. W. J. B.

HINSDALE, MASS.

ery business in this country. We have
the climatic conditions and soil condi-
tions necessary to grow practically
everything belong to the temperate
zone, and many of the products of the
sub-tropics. We have the capital, energy
and ability, and there is no reason why
this capital, energy and ability should
not be employed as much in the produc-
tion and manufacture of florists' plants
and nursery stock as in the development
of any other important industry. If
other industries are deserving of en-
couragement in the way of protection,
is there any reason why the plant grow-
ing industry does not deserve like treat-
ment?

On account of my being located so
far away from the other members of
the committee, and owing to the great
press of business during the last year,
I have been unable to communicate
With them, or to pay great attention
to accumulating the necessary knowl-
edge to enable me to make a full re-
port.

So far as I have been able to learn,
there have been some substantial efforts
begun to grow Dutch bulbs in various
parts of the country. It is said that
some extensive plantings have been
made in the state of Missouri. Hol-
landers have come to this country and
purchased large stocks of gladioli, nota-
bly in Michigan and Ohio. The culti-
vation of Dutch bulbs, especially the
narcissus, seems to be considerably on
the increase in the Eoanoke region of
Virginia, in the vicinity of the Dismal
Swamp.

Progress in California.

On the Pacific coast there does not
seem to have been any great effort put
forth to cultivate nursery and florists'
stocks, except those of the Cottage Gar-
dens Nurseries at Eureka, Gal. The
development by this company has con-
tinued apparently with restless energy.
At the present time there is under con-
struction at the Eden nursery in

Eureka, a 2-acre block of iron-frame
houses, built on what might be termed
the Belgian plan. These houses will
be finished by October, and will be im-
mediately filled with such stock as
araucarias, gloxinias, tuberous begonias,
ericas and others used in the florists'
trade. Photographs of the new im-
provements under construction are at-
tached to this report.

Another improvement of importance
is the fitting of the entire nursery of
sixty-six acres with the overhead Skin-
ner irrigation system. At present
there are about ten acres fitted with
the Skinner system, the ground under
the system being occupied by azaleas,
rhododendrons, ericas and other like
florists' stock.

Photographs of the fields of azaleas
and rhododendrons are submitted with
this report. The culture of Azalea
Indica is proceeding rapidly and suc-
cessfully; at the present time there are
about 250,000 young plants in stock.
A photograph of one of the houses filled
with young plants of Azalea coccinea,
which have been grown from cuttings
and are about ready for grafting, is
submitted with the report.

The grafting of Azalea Indica is con-
tinued without interruption and grafts
have been set upon a large quantity of
plants. Grafting under the conditions
existing at Eureka is preeminently suc-
cessful and only a small percentage of

the grafts fail to set. This is true of
grafting azaleas, rhododendrons, or any
of the coniferous plants.

The budding of rhododendrons and
azaleas has been demonstrated by the
present season's treatment to be easily
accomplished. There is an abundant set
of buds of great size and vigor. The
growth of the rhododendrons and aza-
leas during the present season has been
all that could be desired. The same is
true of everything else tliat has been
grown in the nursery. The holly berries
up wonderfully well, and all kinds of
l)erried plants set enormous crops. This
is particularly noticeable in the coton-
easter family.

In order to i)rovide for a permanenf
increase in the production of azaleas
and rhododendrons, there will be built
another range of approximately three
acres of glass during the season of 1918.

The production of ericas, boxwood,
liollies and coniferous plants is being
pushed steadily, and a number of new
plants are being grown which have been
derived from Australia, New Zealand
and the western coast of South Amer-
ica, and in all probability this company
will send out some substantial additions
to the trade 's supply of plants.

In the bulb district substantial ex-
periments in testing the commercial
growing of Lilium longiflorum are being
carried out. A photograph enclosed
herewith shows one of the experimental
blocks of the Harrisii variety, which
is being tested under my personal super-
vision at the Cottage Gardens proving

at the New Haarlem Bulb Farm.

10,000,000 Bulbs Growing.

At the New Haarlem Bulb Farm the
work of establishing the commercial
jiroduction of Dutch bulbs is progress-
ing rapidly. An extensive bulb house,
.■)0x260 feet, is under construction and
will be finished this month. About 100
acres of additional land are being pre-
pared for bulb culture; this will be fol-
lowed by the preparation of 100 acres
more the following year. At present
there are about eighty acres of land in
condition for planting bulbs this fall.
The entire crop of bulbs for this season
has been harvested, and while the sea-
son has not been favorable and in some
instances the bulbs are not of normal
size, the crop on the whole has j>roven
entirely satisfactory, and in the major-
ity of cases the bulbs are of exception-
ally fine quality. This is particularly
true of the hyacinths, which turned out
of much better quality than was hoped
for. The narcissi, crocuses and gladioli
are all of exceptionally good size and
splendid quality. Large quantities of
bulbs have been contracted for delivery
from Holland. These contracts cover
approximately 5,000,000 bulbs, and the
quantity harvested at the New Haarlem
Bulb Farm will be approximatelv 4,000,-
000 to 4,500,000; the plantings' for the
coming fall will run somewhere between
9,000,000 and 10,000,000 bulbs.

In order to make sure of a full supply
of cow manure, which is necessary for
the growth of the hyacinths and other
bulbs, the management has established
what is known as the Cottage Gardens

LOUISVILLE. KY.

E. G. REIMER8 & SON CO.

Established 1880. Incorporated 1918

Jersey Farm at Carlotta, Cal., where
there is maintained a herd of 150 pure-
bred Jerseys, for the purpose, primarily,
of supplying manure, but as dairying in
Humboldt county is highly profitable,
the manure from this Jersey farm will
be considered practically a by-product.
Additional dairies will be established
in the vicinity of the New Haarlem
Bulb Farms.

Thus far all of the plants which the
management has determined to grow in
large quantities commercially have
been grown a sufficient length of time
to amply demonstrate the fact that the
plants can be produced of superior qual-
ity, and where buds, flowers or berries
are necessary they will be produced in
abundance.

BOSTON.

The Market.

Business continues quiet and there
is considerable difficulty experienced in
disposing of what flowers arrive. Gla-
dioli are in the worst position and sell
at low prices. If growers would cut
stock with not more than one or two
flowers open, the blooms would sell
much better, but a large proportion of
those arriving have six to eight flowers
open, and many are faded flowers. Such
stoch as this is hardly worth sending
to market.

Asters are realizing fair prices. The
best make $2 to $2.50 per hundred and
the poorer grades 50 cents to $1 per
hundred. The niidseason sorts are now
arriving. Lilies have been enjoying
a mild boom and have been cleaning up
decidedly better. White roses sell re-
markably well, and for other colors the
demand is fairly good. Ophelia, Double
White Killarney, Stanley, Mrs. Hearst,
Kaiserin and Miller are good.

A few of the new-crop carnations are
straggling in. They are small and
short-stemmed, and no one wants them.
White asters are abundant and good.
Valley is scarce. Cattloyas are hardly
purchasable at all. Bouvardia in sev-
eral colors is obtainable, and B. Hum-
boldtii is realizing fair prices. Sal-
piglossis and cosmos are each fairly
abundant, l)ut the call for them is spas-
modic. Asparagus sells onlv inoderately
well.

Various Notes.

W. E. Woodward & Son, of Saxon-
villo, arc sending more than twenty five
named varieties of gladioli to the
wholesale market at present. Some of
their best varieties are La Prophetesse,
Glorv, Spring Song, Pasha, Jessie,
Glory of Holland, Mrs. F. Pendleton,
Pride of Goshen, George Paul and Pan-
ama. All are handled bv M. Aronson,

Hail storms have been more frequent
and destructive in Massachusetts this
summer than usual. August 21 a severe
storm broke considerable glass and dam-
aged outdoor stock badly. Lively &
Bond, of Holbrook, lost a good deal of
glass. Peter Pederzini, who started in
business this spring at Medford, had
many breakages in his nevp house. At
Faulkner Farm, Brookline, the orchid
and stove houses were badly broken.
Glass was also broken at the E. & J.
Farcjuhar & Co. houses at Dedham.
These are only some of the sufferers.

The Budlong Rose Co. reports a
strong call for white roses. It sells
an average of 1,800 Double White Kil-
larneys daily. Mrs. W. R. Hearst,
Prima Donna, Ophelia and the com-
])any's Sunburst sport are all specially
fine.

Mr. and Mrs. Andrew Christensen, of
Stoneham, left this week for a vacation
to be spent principally in Maine. They
will visit Bangor and Bar Harbor,
among other places. Mr. Christensen
has all his carnations lioused, some
40,000 in number.

The show of cliildron's gardens' ex-
hibits at Horticultural hall September
1 and 2 will easily break all records.
New England shows an increase of
more than ST.l per cent in gardens over
1016, and the children have aided ma-
terially in this increase. The annual
dahlia and fruit exhibition will be held
September 8 and 9.

C'Corge Shields, formerly with A.
Leutliy & Co., is now greenhouse fore-
?nan for R. & J. Farquhar & Co., at
Dedham. E. J. Schriver, lately with
Farcpihar's, now is with the Arnold &:
Fisher Co., "Woburn.

John W. Foote, of Reading, is already
sending in some of the new-crop car-
nations, such as Matcliless and Enchant-
ress Supreme. He is cutting a fine lot
of bouvardia in three colors. The
white Ilumboldtii is in strong demand
for wedding bouquets.

John Nelson & Son, of Framingham,
have had all their carnations, 40,000
of them, bedded for some time, and a
fine looking lot they are. It would be
difficult to find a duplicate for the
Matchless seen there. Some wonderful
plants of this variety were noted in the
field.

Since August 9 we have rei'ordefl
nearly eight inches of rain, which es-
tablishes almost a record for this month.
As a consequence vegetables have made
a most luxuriant growth, and crops
which seemed a few weeks ago almost
hoj>eless are now well up to the aver-
age.

In one of the windows of tlie llough-
ton-Gorney Co., on Tremont street, I
noted a pretty arrangement of Chrys-
antliemum Golden Glow and Liatris
liycnostachya. Nyiiipha^as, sali)iglossis
and lilies were other flowers used in
the same window.

Those who attended the New York
convention from here appear to have
enjoyed themselves in spite of the hot
and higlily humid atmospheric condi-
tions existing.

M. Eosenthal, of tlie Boston Cut
Flower Co., says that while business
during the present summer has not
been brisk, something has been doing
all the time, and in volume it has been
fully equal to that of a year ago.

Among the callers last week were T.
E. Waters, at one time with Suther-
land, of Boston, and now with the
Poehlmann Bros. Co., Chicago, and C.
S. Strout, of Biddeford, Me. Mr. Strout
says he would have enjoyed the con-
vention at New York more if the
weather had not been so hot.

The meetings of the Gardeners' and
Florists' Club will be resumed Septem-
l)er 18, when William II. Elliott will
speak on a recent trip to California.

The Market.

Another dull week has passed, al-
though the cooler weather August 24
and 25 seemed to better business and
improve market conditions.

American Beauties are plentiful and
in good demand. Russell roses are to
be had, but continue small and poor in
quality. Others on the list are choice
short and medium Sunburst, Shawyer,
Killaruey and whites. Red roses arc
poor, arriving full-blown.

The sale of valley and orchids is
steady, thanks to the continuous run of
wedding work. Asters and gladioli are
iu excessive supply, and there is not
much funeral work to relieve the sit-
uation. Yellow mums have made their
appearance, and together with tritniiia,
or red-hot poker, make attractive win-
dow displays.

Various Notes.

John Moore, of the John Breitmoy-
er"s Sons force, has returned from his
vacation at Grand Rapids.

The news that the 1919 convention
of the S. A. F. will be held in Detroit
caused surprise and delight. It is hoped
that S. A. F. members will not regret
their choice.

The Market.

There is a marked scarcity of roses
in this market, particularly the white
varieties, with no immediate relief in
sight. What with the shortage ot
white roses and valley, it is extremely
difficult to take proper care of wedding
orders. Asters are in good supply,
likewise gladioli, the better grades of
which find a ready market. Flowers in
the blue shades are much sought and
are not easily obtained. Orchids and
gardenias arrive in limited quantities,
the former selling at from 75 cents to
$1 each.

I. N. KRAMER & SON
CEDAR rapids; IA;

In the retail way the last week has
been an uneventful one. With few
exceptions purchases have been light
and mostly confined to staple flowers.
Gladioli, Jap lilies and ferns are play-
ing a large part in the window displays.

John "Motor" Kirchner.

"One of the chief factors in the suc-
cess of my business," says John Kirch-
ner, "has been the early and continued
use of auto delivery trucks." And as
proof of his emphatic belief in this
statement, it might be remarked that
Mr. Kirchner has the sum of $20,000
invested in them. While the majority
of florists have auto trucks for rapid
and efficient delivery and transportation
of stock, many still cling to obsolete
methods of conducting this important
part of the business, denoting that they
have not awakened to the great advan-
tages of the modern method of per-
forming this work.

Various Notes.

Miss Elvira Schmidt has returned,
after a pleasant two weeks' vacation,
to her duties at the Gasser wholesale
store.

Charles Eussell, of the Jones-Russell
Co., made a trip to Henderson, Ky.,
August 26, for the purpose of super-
vising the execution of some large

wholesale market.

Sam Seligman, fresh from the New
York convention, is calling upon his
firm's patrons here this week. Paul
Berkowitz, of Bayersdorf er 's, is also
numbered among the visitors.

The F. T. D. window at the Gasser
retail store is attracting much attention
from the public. A novel feature is an
electric aeroplane which makes its
flights over a finely turned expanse of
mountainous country. A certain rib-
bon salesman, who has done much of
late in stimulating the attention of De-
troit florists to the potentialities of this
type of advertising, expressed himself
as delighted with this masterly dis-
play.

Wm. F. Metzmaier, of Columbus, O.,
made a pleasant call upon friends in
the trade, while returning from a va-
cation spent, in company with Mrs.
Metzmaier, in Detroit and Toledo.

The monthly meeting of the Florists'
Club falling upon Labor day, the same
has been postponed to the following
Monday night, September 10.

IT IS FALSE DRAGONHEAD.

Will you kindly tell mo wliat the en-
closed plant isf It was purcliased from
a reliable grower last spring as Shasta
daisy Alaska. Is it hardv?

W. A. G.— Neb.

It is Physostegia virginiana, common-
ly called false dragonhead; a good
hardy herbaceous perennial, of easy cul-
ture and well adapted for cutting.

Bellefontaine, O. — Stelzig's Flower

honor of the school teachers attending
a teacher's institute recently. It
showed a school room, flowers, of course,
being prominent.

August 30, 1917.

Seed Trade News

AXESIOAN BZED TBASE A8S00IATZ0K.
President, F. W. Bolglano, WaBhlngton, D. 0.;
Secretary-Treasurer, C. H. Kendel. CleYeland, O.

A. H. Smith, of the Leonard Seed Co.,
Chicago, is on a brief trip to California.

The onion set crop in the Chicago dis-
trict has been liarvested in good condi-
tion.

Ralph M. Ward is in Japan, having
recently returned there after a trip to
China.

Peas will undoubtedly be short this
year. Present estimates are placed at
about fifty per cent of a crop. Hot winds
are said to have done considerable dam-
age.

The proceedings of the thirty-fifth an-
nual convention of the American Seed
Trade Association at Detroit, Mich., June
19 to 21, have been published in book
form.

Reports from Michigan indicate that
the crop of garden beans wiU not be large
this year. Although the crop is good in
some districts, in others cutworms and dry
weather have brought about much destruc-
tion.

The E. G. Lewis Seed Co., of Media,
111., recently was incorporated with a
capital stock of $30,000. The incorpora-
tors were Edgar C. Lewis, Samuel N.
Mathers, James J. Mathers and R. Pen-
darvis.

The officers of the Rudy-Patrick Seed
Co., Kansas City, since the death of Frank
Rudy, are as follows: President, Howard

Charles J. Bolgiano, of J. Bolgiano
& Son, Baltimore, Md., has returned from
a short stay at his summer home in the
Allegheny mountains. Morris B. Robin-
son, manager of the firm's retail store, is
at Mr. Bolgiano 's mountain home recov-
ering his strength after a serious illness
with typhoid fever. Rozell Bowen, west-
ern representative of the firm, was in Chi-
cago for two weeks the first part of
August.

The meeting of seedsmen at the Hotel
Gordon, Washington, D. C, August 21,
which was called by Food Administrator
Hoover, proved to be mainly for the pur-
pose of helping the government secure in-
formation as to the supply of seed which
would be available for the next year. The
situation, as pertaining to the canning
industry, was discussed and plans were
laid to endeavor to get a proper distribu-
tion of stock so that all the canning fac-
tories will be supplied.

"The notes that have appeared in
print in regard to the prospects of the
seed harvest in America, and also in
France, would seem to indicate that early
activity is advisable in order to make
sure of adequate stock for next season,"
says a writer in an English trade paper.
"I have not come across any printed
statement in regard to British seed crops,
but so far as my travels enable me to
judge I am inclined to think we shall
produce more seed than usual and a good
many subjects that we have hitherto been
content to leave to other countries are be-
ing grown in fairly good quantities."

DUTCH BULB INSURANCE.

The continental insurance companies
have notified Holland exporters of bulbs
and plants that they have canceled the
so-called "all risk" clause in their poli-
cies. This clause protected shipments
of bulbs and plants against damage
from heating, etc., when in transit.

The Dutch Bulb Exporters' Associa-
tion, however, has made arrangements
with the steamship companies with re-
gard to proper ventilation in the holds
of the steamships, and it is now almost
impossible for the bulbs, even if the
cargo consists entirely of bulbs, to heat
in transportation so as to make them
worthless for forcing or planting.

DUTCH BUIjBS on THE WAY.

August 27 the Holland-America line
advised certain large importers that
one of its steamers sailed from Rotter-

The Florists^ Review

August 30, 1917.

dam August 25, with about 12,000 cases
of bulbs in its cargo.

August 20 the same source of in-
foiuiation gave news of the sailing of
a boat August 18, with a cargo almost
exclusively of bulbs.

Consequently, it may be taken as
fairly well assured that the trade will
receive more than half the quantity
that came in last year and about three-
fourths any previous season's imports.
There are reports that these two boats
are the only ones that will bring bulbs
this season, but there seems reason to
doubt if there is any foundation for
such a story.

FREIGHT SITUATION ALARMING.

Tliose who have large interests in
Japanese lily bulbs are on the anxious
seat because of the freight situation.
It has been known for months that
there was likely to l)e a shortage of
space in the boats from Japan, but
nothing like the present situation had
been anticipated. Rates have gone up
from $25 to $75 per ton. There is so
mucli demand for space that the boats
cannot accommodate everyone and the
lily importers are alarmed. It is expect-
ed tliat at least a portion of the quan-
tities engaged will get across, but that
arrival will be much later than usual.
Formosa lilies are afloat, but are con-
siderably overdue. If giganteums arrive
in good condition they will be all right
for Kaster if they can be planted dur-
ing the Christmas holidays.

SEED SURPLUS AND SHORTAGE.

The committee on seed stocks of the
Department of Agriculture is endeavor-
ing to assist in supplying information as
to where seeds may be obtained. To
this end it is announce<l that the com-
mittee will appreciate information from
anyone who has seed to offer. The in-
formation should contain the name, kind
and variety, and aj)proximately the
quantity of seed offered, as well as the
price asked. The committee purposes
to file all such information and to use
it in answering inquiries that may be
received from various parts of the coun-
try. All such communications should be
addressed to R. A. Oakley, chairman,
committe on seed stocks, United States
Department of Agriculture, Washing-
ton, D. C.

The KENILWORTH Giant Pansy

Seeds are all grrown by mya«lf and are offered In the following mixtures and separate colors:

All sorts and mixtures except where noted are: $6.00 per oz., $1.25 per \i oz., 6000 seeds. $1.0G; trade packet of 1000 seeds.

2r>c; any 5 packets, $1.00. Please order by number.

GIANT KENILWORTH STRAIN. The flowers are of perfect form
and substance; many of the Immense flowers are from 3V4- to 4-in.
It is a striking collection of beautiful colors and markinps, rich
with shades of red, brown, bronze, mahogany and many others too
numerous to mention. LlRht. Medium or Dark Mixtures.

GIANT KENILWORTH SHOW. An extra fine strain of large flowers:
the Immense flowers are of circular form and great substance. A
beautiful collection of colors and markings.

GIANT KENILWORTH CUT FLOWER MIXTURE. Is a distmci class
by itself, surpassing all other strains as a cut flower for inside or
outside growing; the large flowers are carried erect above the
foliage on heavy stems, 7 or 8 in. long, in the most graceful man-
ner, and stand the hot, dry weather well.

GIANT MASTERPIECE. A remarkable type: the curled, wavy petals
giving the flower a double appearance: large flowers of great sub-
stance, on long, strong stem.

GIANT THREE AND FIVE BLOTCHED PANSIES. A superb mix-
ture. Flowers large and of circular form and of great substance.
The display of coloring is unsurpassed. A combination of almost
every shade of rich, velvety colors: reds are particularly conspicu-
ous: the petals being distinctly marked with three or five large,
dark blotches.

GIANT PARISIAN. The flowers are of enormous size and beautifully
marked, mostly five dark blotches on white and yellow ground; an
unusually showy mixture.

GIANT BRONZE. A fine mixture of all shades of velvety brown,
bronze, Havana brown, mahogany and copper shades.

TRIUMPH OF GIANT. Remarkably befiutiful. The impo.sing five-
spotted flowers on long, vigorous stalks surmount the foliage in the
most graceful manner, are of enormous size, perfectly round and
of unusual substance. The individual petals are very broad and
cover each other in such a manner as to make the flowers appear
almost double, the border of every petal being conspicuouslv curled.
The plants are of a robust growth and form compact bushes of a
round shape.

10. KENILWORTH GIANT EXHIBITION is the very finest complete mixture ever
sent out. Seed carefully saved only from marked plants of the best Tarietles, with the
largest and best shaped flowers and richest cblorlnar. It Is Impossible to convey
an adequate Idea of the delightful variations in color and markings of this un-
rivaled mixture. 500 seeds 30c, 1000 seeds eOc, %. oz. $1.35, M oz. $2.50. oz.
$10.00.

New Early-flowering, or Winter Blooming

An entirely new and distinct strain of Pansles The main advantage of these
new Pansles over all hitherto existing Pansles is the extreme earliness of Howerlng.
Sown at the same time as other Pansles, 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 Pansles are only showing buds. The flowers are large, well
formed and fragrant.

17. CHARM OF MARCH. Dark velvety

blue.

18. MIXED. The above four colors with

other shades and variations.

14. WINTER SUN. Golden yellow with

dark eye.

15. ICE KING. Silvery white, with dark

eye.

16. CELESTIAL QUEEN. Light or sky

blue.

500 seeds 25c, 1000 seeds 40c, V6 oz. $1.10, \i, oz. $2.00, oz. $7.50.

20. PRINCESS. (The New Upright Pansy.) This strain is entirely distinct from all
others. It Is absolutely compact, upright growing. The flowers are mostly
blotched and frilled like the Masterpiece, of good form and heavy velvety tex-
ture on heavy stem carried well above the foliage. Attractive by brilliancy
of its colors.

40. GIANT BATH'S EMPRESS. The finest of fancy English Pansles. Flowers are
very large, mostly frilled and blotched and of great substance and the colors
are brilliant and varied.

70. ORCHID-FLOWERED. Mixed. A dwarf,
free bloomer, with a range of delicate
colors that do not exist in any other
Pansles; a remarkable combination of
light rose, shell pink, blush mauve,
fawn, light brown, orange and chamois.

The Florists^ Review

August 30, 1917.

S

BBIDGEPOBT, CONN.

The growers have completed the hous-
ing of their carnations, and in most
cases the plants are the best ever.
Mums are coming along finely and in
some instances the buds are showing
color. The dry spell from which Bridge-
port has been suffering fortunately has
been broken; good showers saved what
outdoor stock was left. Were it not for
funeral work, business in general would
be rather dull, there being little demand
for cut flowers.

Kecently the Florists' Club enjoyed
its first outing in the form of a sheep
roast on the grounds of Fred Kolb. Mr.
Kolb had charge of the roasting, and
everyone present voted the lamb cooked
to the king's taste. Games and races
were indulged in and, the day being
an ideal one, they were enjoyed by all.

James Horan & Son have their car-
nations housed, and the men expect to
cut mums soon.

The Park Gardens are offering fine
asters. Trade in general is good for
this time of year.

Robert Hawkins recently designed a
broken column five feet in height that
was made of White Killarney and Kil-
larney roses. He is installing a new
icebox in his Main street store.

Fred Kolb is housing some fine car-
nations.

John Reck & Son report an abun-
dance of funeral work. They are plant-
ing their first shipment of French
bulbs.

James Beach has a fine lot of Boston
and Whitmanii ferns coming on for the
fall trade. He is cutting splendid as-
ters and snapdragons. The range was
closed at noon on one of the hot days
recently and all workers were invited
for the remainder of the day to Mr.
Beach's home in Milford. Miss Sarah
Beach returned recently from abroad,
where she has been since last Septem-
ber.

Frederick E. Bouton, the junior mem-
ber of G. C. Bouton & Son, is conva-
lescing at his home, after undergoing
an operation at the Bridgeport hospital.

PLUMOSUS GOOD FOR YEARS. :

Is it better to use the old plumosus
roots than to bench young plants each
yearf K. G. — Kan.

Plants of Asparagus plumosus, pro-
vided they have a good depth of poil
and are well fed, will last for a number
of years and give better service than
young plants each season. C. W.

Snapdragon Seed

It is a proved fact that, for profit and easy
doing, there is no greenhouse plant that will
equal good Snapdragon. They require very lit-
tle attention and seed sown now will yield con-
tinuous blooms from February until July,
giving a bumper crop at Memorial, the great
special flower day.

Start some seedlings today and be ready to
fill all empty space after mums are done. It is
far better and cheaper to grow your own plants.

American Bulb Co. provided for a liberal supply to take
care of large demands, anticipating large business this win-
ter. Paper Whites from France and Formosum lilies
from Japan are now en route.

American Bulb Co. bulbs are the best bulbs obtainable. Our
sales on lilies since last August passed the million mark. French
bulbs, including Paper Whites, Grand Soleil d'Or (Yellow Paper
Whites), Roman Hyacinths and French Trumpet Majors, have
reached several millrolisi - Is this not^ evidence enough, with a few of
our customers' recommendations, proving that we have the goods,
to assure you of good results? Write us for our special price list on
our high quality bulbs.

Pacific Coast Department

LOS ANGELES, CAL.

The Market.

Stock of the second-rato {jrade con-
tinues to pile up and be sent to the
dump, but retailers say they could use
more first-rate flowers. There have been
quite a number of good weddinjf deco-
rations, and these would have used far
more good roses, orchids and such stock.
Some excellent rubrum lilies, asters«and
Golden Glow have been drawn on for
the larger work, while table decoration
and bouquets have suffered. Belladonna
lilies are plentiful and their fragrance
helps to sell them. Asters are keeping
up well, the best coming from the foot
hill and beach growers.

Indoor carnations of good quality' are
scarce, and so are roses. Orchids come
in irregularly, and there are never
enough for the demand. Valley is also
scarce. Centaureas are good for funeral
work; gladioli are scarce. Dahlias are
plentiful, but there are too few of the
clear, decided tints and too many mixed
colors. On accQynt of the lack of ship-
ping business, greens are excessively
plentiful.

Various Notes.

John Gordon has returned to his place
at Frank Lichtenberg's looking well
and sunburned, and one can well believe
him when he says he has enjoyed his
two weeks ' vacation. Business has kept
up fairly well at the store.

Fred Sperry is around again, quite
recovered from the effects of his opera-
tion, and says that it has been a great
relief to him.

The Star Nursery, at Montebello, has
erected more glass and made several
changes and improvements. Some fine
Cocos pluniosa, planted four or five
years ago, are now being lifted. They
meet with a ready sale.

H. A. Marks, of the Germain Seed &,
Plant Co., has returned from his ea^^j
ern trip.

Stanley Purdy says he is well satis-
fied with his start in business at the
Freeman store.

Among the shipments from the S.
Murata & Co. store last week was a
large horseshoe for a store opening
"somewhere" in Arizona.

F. R. Hills has another large green-
house under way, the demand for his
ferns having again exceeded the sup-
ply. Mr. and Mrs. Hills celebrated the
twentieth anniversary of their wedding
August 19, in their usual way, too, of
giving other people pleasure, taking
friends out in one of their machines and
putting the other at the service of the
men in the nursery.

Walter Armacost & Co., in addition
to their rose shipments, are supplying a
good deal of the vallev and orchids

sold locally, and the stock is fine in
every way. H. E. Eichards.

SAN FRANCISCO.

The Market.

Tliere is little change in the market
situation since the last report either
with regard to stock or condition
of business. The demand leaves
no ground for complaint and there
are plenty of flowers, with the ex-
ception of orchids and first-class
roses. Orchids continue in unusu-
ally light supply, the retailers having
great difficulty in obtaining blooms to
fill the orders. Valley also is on the
short side of the market, but the short-
age is not so acute as in the case of
orchids. Gardenias clean up closely
from day to day.

Asters are about at their lieight now
and easily dominate the local mar-
ket. There are indications that the
supply might become a trifle bur-
densome, but so far the steadily
increasing offerings have managed
to find an outlet without any vi
the stock being sacrificed. The
heavy shipping demand helps mate-
rially in taking care of .tttjj enor-
mous supplies. Chrysanthemums are
more in evidence, but the blooms
are still too soft to justify a heavy
shipping movement. Monrovia and
October Frost will be added to the
earlier varieties in another week. A
few violets find their way to market,
but they are far from plentiful and
clean up readily at comparatively high
prices.

New-crop carnations are more plenti-
ful. With the arrival of good stock,
the demand is better. The carnations
have been so poor for several weeks

that little attention was accorded
them. Gladioli are going off crop
rapidly.

Amaryllis Belladonna sliows splendid
quality and meets with a good demand.
Rubrum lilies leave nothing rto be de-
sired in quantity, quality:-^' demand.
The cut flowers sell well, also tht potted
plants. Dahlias are offered in a wide
assortment of colors, sizes and types.
Not much can be said of roses. The
offerings are not especially fine, neither
are they especially poor. The same
average maintains for nearly all va-
rieties. Beauties are still negligible.

Various Notes.

Luther Burbank was elected an '^ac-
tive member of the Dahlia Society of
California at the monthly meeting at
the Palace hotel August 18. Mr. Bur-
bank is interested in the development
of the dahlia and appreciates the work
being done by the society. He is in-
terested in several new varieties and
will have an educational exhibit at the
annual show, which will be held at the
hotel September .S to 5. Entries for the
display are coming in so rapidly that
the management fears late applicants
will not be able to secure space, not-
withstanding the fact that double the
space used last year has been engaged.

Daniel MacRorie and Donald Mc-
Laren, of MacRorie & McLaren, have
returned from a visit to the Cottage
Gardens Nurseries at Eureka, Cal. R.
Bernadeau, manager of the company's
retail store, and Fred Hammarstron,

tions.

work, which slumped a little during the
extremely hot weather of July and early
August, is again becoming an important
feature of each day's total.

Stock is plentiful and improvement in
quality is noticeable in most flowers.
Roses, both the home-grown and those
coming in from the coast, are good as to
flower, though not long of stem. As the
call during the summer, however, is not
usually for the highest-priced stock, the
absence of a few inches on the one end
of the stem does not make much dif-
ference. There will be many carnations
cut during the early winter, judging by
the condition of the young stock.

The Florists^ Review

August 30, 1917.

The Hoyt Bros. Co. is taking pride
in its new delivery car, which is about
the most liandsome thing devised in the
way of delivery service.

The Spokane Florist Co. has been ex-
ceptionally fortunate in landing several
large decorative orders. Business has
been good with the company through
the summer months.

A. J. Burt announced his intention of
opening a store in tlie Clemmer theater
building about September 1. He was
formerly in business at 829 Eiverside,
but retired from the retail field when
he sold out to Adolph Donart last spring.

L. B. H.

PORTLAND, ORE.

The Market.

The supply has exceeded the demand
during the last week, there being a
large supply of gladioli and asters, with
but little- call for them. Golden Glow
chrysanthemums have reached the mar-
ket, and there are enough carnations
and roses to supply the small demand.
Zinnias are plentiful. Business was ex-
ceptionally quiet at the retail stores last
week.

Society Meeting.

The Portland Floral Society held its
regular meeting at the Masonic Temple
August 21, with about forty members
present. J. II. Wood was elected a
member and M. H. Gorman, curator of
the Forestry building, an honorary
member.
- The next twelve meetings will be in
the hands of an entertainment commit-
tee of twelve members, each member to
provide the entertainment for one meet-
ing. The members of the committee are
Messrs. Scott, Birchler, Zitzewitz, Pil-
kington, Steele, Niklas, Gehr, Forbes,
Olarke, Bacher, Dossche and Van Kirk.
On the program committee are Messrs.
■Gill, Weed, Mische, Bodley, Tonseth,
Smith, Feser, Eoutledge, White, Kahn,
Bacher and Lewis. The other commit-
tees appointed were: Exhibits, Messrs.
Forbes, Clarke, Pilkington, Wood,
Smith, Tonseth, Dossche, Scott, White
■and Feser; retailers, Messrs. Clarke,
Forbes, Lubliner, Smith, Eoutledge and
Welty; growers, Messrs. Borsch, Holden,
Panzer, Zimmerman, Zitzewitz and
White.

The members were requested to bring
to the next meeting lists of stock they
have for sale and of stock they want to
buy. It is contemplated that by sub-
mitting the one to the retailers and the
other to the growers much stock will be
moved that otherwise would be lost. A
plan was also announced to establish
the credit ratings of florists in the
northwest. Members were asked to sub-
mit lists of florists with whom they do
business and their ratings to Secretarv
F. A. Van Kirk.

There was a spirited discussion of the
labor situation and it was agreed that
in view of the shortage of men it will
be necessary to pay $3 or $3.50 per dav
for greenhouse help, the increased cost
of production to be secured by raising
prices. Mr. Zimmerman reported that
the beds at the Gresham fair are in fine
condition, there being about 2,000
square feet planted to perennials, bed-
ding stock and annuals.

Messrs. Pilkington and Xiklas urged
all members to push the society's cam-
paign for membership. All ' florists,
seedsmen, nurserymen and gardeners
are eligible to membership, and it was

Showers the early part of last week
helped to freshen up things a little. It
blighted the peas and asters for a few
days, but it probably was a benefit in
the long run. Growers are looking for
a heavy demand and there probably
would be a number of new houses put
up were it not for the tremendous ad-
vance in the price of all greenhouse ma-
terial and the scarcity of fuel. Owing
to the trouble in the lumber industry,
the supply of "slabs," or lumber culls,
from the mill yards is limited. They
have been popular fuel for greenhouse
boilers until recently. Coal is exor-
bitant in price, so the heating problem
is an unsolved one.

Adiantum Farleyense Gloriosum

The Glory Fern

(Ruhm von Mordrecht)

This splendid Fern, which so closely resembles Adiantum Far-
leyense in appearance and which does not reauire the special skill
and care in growing that is necessary to produce good plants of A.
Farleyense, has quickly made a place for itself not only on account
of the fact that it can be produced for little over half that of grow-
ing Farleyense, but klso because either in a cut state or as plants
used in decorative work, it will outlast the old variety ten to one,
making it an available subject where Farleyense cannot be used at
all. Since its introduction some five or six years ago there has
never been a supply large enough to meet the demand.

We have this season prepared an extra large stock and we ofifer

Pappio river, to Eichard Caplis, a De-

Mr. Caplis, who saw the farm on his
last visit to Omaha, bought it as an
investment, the sale being closed
through L. D. Spalding. _

Buying the bulk of the farm in 1909
of Glaus Sievers, Mr. Eosenfield added
to it until it now contains about twenty-
four and a half acres. He has erected
several buildings and is to construct
another for the new owner, who will
manage it next season. Mr. Eosenfield
reserves 15,000 plants to remove this
fall, selling some of them and keeping
others "for my own amusement," he

says.

He plans to remain in Omaha at least
a year or two.

The peony farm with its rich soil
and many exclusive varieties of flowers
is one of the show places of Omaha.

Bu.siiioss luis iiiijii'()\('(l siiico tho last
writing, but is still quiet, with ])lenty
of cut stock eoniing in. There is a
ecarcity of blooniinji; plants; it is hanl
to ])ro('ure much in that line at ]»resent.
Ferns have been moving well, but are
in rather short supply. (Jladioli have
been more than plentiful and at tiines
it has been difficult to move them at
any price, but the bulk seems to be
about over with, and this will make it
better for those to come from now on.

Koses have been plentiful, outside of
whites, which have been markedly
scarce. The blooms as a rule move
well. Fine Russell roses arrive, and
they go about the first. Shawyer, Mi-
lady, Ophelia and Maryland seem to
make up the receipts, with a few Kil-
larney now and then. Asters have been
hard to get, and the good stock that
does come in is cleaned ujt at good
prices. Asters have been much of a
failure again this year, and nearly all
that come in are grown by amateurs.

Lilies are none too plentiful, the
demand being about equal to the sup-
ply. Carnations arc making their ap-
pearance again, but the quality is not
extra and the stems are short. They
work in nicely, howeverj_ as i)eople
want them even if they are small. Val-
ley is not in good supply at this time,
but the flemand has not lieen heavy.

Nearly all of the workers have re
turned from their vacations ami will
be ready for tiie busy season when it
opens, which all hope will be shortlv.

Greenhouse Heating.

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

HOUSES ON SLOPING GROUND.

I am planning to build a greenhouse
this season, or perhaps two greenhouses,
each 20x50. One will be used for
flowers and the other for vegetables.
The houses will be even-span and will
run north and south. The side walls
will be at least six feet high. The boiler
room will be at the north end. The
south gables will be glass and there
will be twenty inches of glass in the
side walls. The ground slopes to the
east and the first house erected will be
at the base of the incline. If I raise
the second house eighteen or twenty
inches, can I heat both houses satisfac-
^torily? Please give directions for the
piping of both houses, though I may
not be able to build both of them this
season. L. E. B. — Mich.

The letter does not state what classes
of vegetables or plants will be grown in
the houses, but if a temperature of 60
degrees is needed in one house and 50
degrees in the other we would suggest
the following arrangement of the pip-
ing: 111 either case we would use three
2iX.'-inoh flow pipes, placing one upon
each ])latc and the other three feet
under the ridge, with twelve 2-inch re-
turn pipes for 60 degrees and eight 2-
inch returns for 50 degrees. If it is
found more convenient to put in 2-inch
pipes for tlie flows and li/Si-inch pipes
for the returns, use three flows, with
fifteen returns for 60 degrees and ten
returns for 50 degrees.

While all of the flow. pipes may start
at or near the boiler, 4-inch main flow
and return pipes may be used for each
of the houses. In all cases the return
coils should be connected with the boiler
by means of pipes of the same size or
capacity as that of the main flow pipes.
Unless the difference in the level of the
houses is more than two feet, tliere
should be no difficulty in securing an
even distribution of the water, although
it will be advisable to place valves, at
least uj)on the flow pipe or pipes leading
to the higher house, with wliich to
clieek the flow to that house in case

The immense amount of direct self-cleaning: heating: surface and
the thin vertical waterways cause this type of boiler construction
to heat water quicker than any other form of boiler.

Hundreds of Florists' Review readers are using the
Kroeschell Boiler and mighty is their praise. This
year has brought us an enormous number of new
customers who have seen our boiler in operation
at other places. We attribute the large sales of
this season to the good work the Kroeschell Boiler
is doing everywhere. With our policy — "the cus-
tomers' interest first" — perfection of construc-
tion— factory, to user prices— honest and "true

there is too much of a tendency to flow
in that direction.

In running the pipes, care should be
taken to give them a slight but even
fall from the boiler, so that air can-
not collect in pockets. If the highest
point in the system is at or near the
boiler, and the flow pipes run downhill,
the expansion tank may be connected to
the highest point of one of the pipes by
means of a 1-inch pipe, and if smaller
pipes are run to the highest points in
each of the other pipes there will be no
occasion for using air valves. The re-
turns connected with the flows upon the
plates may be either on the walls or
under the side benches, and tlie other
returns sliould l)e distributed under tlie
middle bench in cacli liouso.

The Florists^ Review

August 30. 1917.

INDIANAPOLIS.

The Market.

Though none too active, business can
hardly be called sluggish. The market
is in fair condition with regard to
stock, in comparison with last week's
shortage.

Lilies are coming in more freely, but
bring a higher price than those of a
month ago. Lilies no better than those
formerly sold at $5 and $8 now make
$10. Asters are in the greatest supply
of all items and are of a better quality
than previously. The prices range from
$1.50 to $3, and at these figures the
blooms are in good demand.

New carnations are making their ap-
pearance, in limited numbers. Roses
from young stock make a good showing
and meet with a ready call at $1.50
to $5 per hundred. Snapdragons have
been benefited by the cooler weather
and now make a more conspicuous
showing. Tuberoses are newcomers in
both the double and single varieties, the
former being quoted at $5 and $6 and
the latter at $3. Dahlias are excep-
tionally slow in cropping this season.
A few are available, but in quantities
insufficient for any special use. Cosmos
is increasing in supply and is helping
to fill up the void.

Various Notes.

Hartje & Elder and the Indianapolis
Flower & Plant Co. are cutting good
late asters.

Baur & Steinkamp are producers of
some good new carnations seen in the
market.

William Roepke has gone to Chicago
in regard to stock for the Indiana state
fair.

Walter Bertermann has returned from
New York, where he attended the S. A.
F. convention.

G. Bookedis has gone to Chicago for
a few days and Otto Lawrence is off
on his vacation.

F, G. Nelson, of Burlington, la., wasy
a recent visitor in the city. E. E. T.

MINNEAPOLIS, MINN.

Business was fair last week. The
market was well stocked, particularly
with such outdoor stock as gladioli and
gaillardias. Lilies, which, owing to the
dry weather, have been scarce, are
more plentiful. The weather was warm
last week, but growers are complaining
over the lack of rain.

John Hayden has moved his store two
doors south of the forafter place at
Twenty-sixth street and Hennepin ave-
nue. The new store is much larger and
has more window space.

Miss Gertrude Schildger, of the
Whitted Floral Co., is spending her va-
cation in Chicago. Joseph J. Orp, of
the same company, has returned from
a motor trip to Pelican lake. The store
force has had considerable wedding
work of late.

Moore, Terwilliger & Co. had an ar-
tistic displav of pottery last week.

We are usually too busy to give
testimonials but most of us like to
receive commendation for our goods,
and we tiiought you would not ob-
ject to a line from us in that direc-
tion. We have in front of our store
a large marquee with a wired glass
top. The latter has been extremely
dirty, and we have not been able to
clean it with water. It occurred to
the writer to have our porter make
an application of Andersen Daylite
Glass Cleaner, and it is almost un-
believable what a difference there
is! The glass is now as if it were

GRAND BAPIDS, MICH.

The Market.

Business for the month of August has
been exceptionally good. The nutner-
ous military weddings have contributed
toward a better summer business. Stock
of all kinds, except carnations, is in
good supply. Asters and gladioli are
in their prime now, and are the best
sellers, other garden flowers being about
over with. A few Easter and rubrum
lilies may be had. Eussell and Ophelia
roses are the most popular for sum-
mer use. Sweet peas have been fair
since the cooler weather set in, but they
will not last much longer.

Various Notes.

Henry Smith's store has been a
rather busy place for summer. The
interior of the store has been redeco-
rated.

Eli Cross has been cutting quantities
of fine gladioli.

Arthur Crabb has been busy with
military weddings and decorations. One
military ball called for nineteen large
and ten small baskets, which covered
seventy-five square feet of tables.

Alfred Hannah & Co. have been un-
usually busy with good summer business
and a renovation of the store at the
same time. A. F. C.

DENVER, COLO.

Business last week was exceptionally
good, banquets and receptions to the
army men who received commissions at
Fort Riley, Kan., bringing considerable
business to the florists. The weather
has been fair, but the nights are begin-
ning to be cool, and this, in these days
of the high cost of fuel, causes some of
the growers to worry about the coal
pile.

D. R. Gwillim, who for years has
conducted a store at Victor, Colo., has
entered the automobile business in
Denver. He has not yet disposed of
his store at Victor.

P. O. Hansen, of Greeley, Colo., mo-
tored to Denver last week. He says
business at Greeley has been good this
summer.

Greenhouse White Paint

Protect Your Houses Before Cold Weather Sets In

Remember

all ordinary paint will not do.
The conditions are extreme — not
to say remarkable — and it takes
a paint complying with certain
technical requirements to give
satisfaction. You will find Green-
house White to be the paint.

The only paint that will
not blister or peel

Greenhouse White

is made for us by paint experts,
by people who have made a life-
long study of painting problems,
and in buying a product which
bears their endorsement you can
depend upon securing a product
satisfactory in all respects for
the purpose intended.

There isn't a more honest Paint made than this and it is backed up by an institution whose reputation
for honest dealing cannot be questioned.

Try 5 gallons and be convinced — it won't cost you much — when you consider the quality.

FORT WAYNE, IND.

The Market.

Business is better than it has been,
the call for stock for funeral work be-
ing steady. There have been a few
good decorations and orders for flowers
for hospitals have been good. Prices
remain about the same.

There is a plentiful supply of out-
door stock, with gladioli, asters and
hydrangeas in the lead. Gladiolus
prices hold up well, the best varieties
bringing topnotch prices. There seems
to be a shortage in the rose crop. There
is a good supply of the shorter grades,
but the best grades, with long stems,
are hard to procure. Carnations, of
course, are scarce. A few of the short-
stemmed come from the fields, and they
are used mostly in funeral designs.
Dahlias and zinnias are arriving in
large quantities. Valley commands high
prices. Cattleyas are off crop at pres-
ent. Larkspurs are utilized for store
decorations. Rubrum, album and Easter
lilies continue plentiful. Other offer-
ings are feverfew, snapdragons, corn-
flowers, salpiglossis and cosmos. Greens
are plentiful.

Various Notes.

Miss C. B. Flick, of the Patten
Flower Shop, Toledo, O., is spending
a three weeks' vacation with her niece,
Mrs. Mildred Flick Buchanan, of this
city. Miss Flick says that business at
Toledo has been most active through-
out the summer and that she is glad to
get a rest.

Miss Marguerite Flick, of the Flick
Floral Co., has returned from a several
weeks' visit with friends in Detroit,
Mich.

W. J. Vesey, Jr., was one of the
judges at the recent celebration of the
"Potato Patch Patriots," at Foster
Park. Mr. Vesey has been called in the
first draft and will probably go to the
training camp at Fort Benjamin Harri-
son within a few weeks.

The drop in the prices of coal, as reg-
ulated by the government, has greatly
relieved the growers here, and they
are facing the winter in a more opti-
mistic frame of mind than a few weeks
ago. E. F.

EFFICIENT HOUSES

Our long experience in greenhouse construction enables us to give the best in
service, material and workmanship, and the purchaser of ICKES-BRAUN con-
struction can invest without a doubt as to the efficiency of his houses. Each detail
is perfected and approved — there is no experimenting with your money.

Our new "LEAK-PROOF" gutter continues to prove its superiority. In a new range of
houses recently erected, for which we furnished 11 runs 200 feet long, there was not one
single leak noticeable during a downpour which filled the gutter to overflowing. Have you
