Action there is in every line of it. This Civil War Cannon In the Old Breastworks at Atlanta Has a Vital Bearing on Our Construction Perhaps you recall our Memorial Day talk, in which we told about the cannon in the breastworks of the old Atlanta bat- tleground. Likewise, 'the old veteran who had come back on Memorial Day with his tjrandson.lto put in the silent cannon's mouth, some violets. Violets that would say with flowers, what the!oldiman's heart was\too full to s^y with words. Well, after hand in hand the two had gone, leaving me there aloHc to think of the valorous defense of the boysof sixty-five; I turned to the old cannon and began examining the construc- tion of the carriage and limber. Much to my surprise, the heavy tires of •''s-inch thickness had scarcely rusted, although exposed to the weather lever since they were left there, over .5.i years ago. Examining carefully the iron hinges on the limber box, found them in perfect condition. They opened as freely as a new Stanley hinge. The oak, however, around one of the screws, was so rotted that I lifted one ofJIthem out and Ibrought .it away^as a souvenir.' Perhaps I ought not to have done it. Admit it did savor of vandalism. However, here it lies before nie as I write. The point and thread are practically as sharp as the day lit was made. The slot is also entirely free from rust. What, then, is the secret of this rustless iron that they used in those days? Tasked a chemist'' friend. "Why. that's easy," ho replied. "It's wrought iron. Practically pure wrought iron. You know pure iron doesollxust. It just glazes over with an outward film of rust, and lasts for years and years. Why, over in Delhi, India, there is a pure wrought iron memorial column that is centuries old. The fi?ures and hiero- glyphics are still surprisingly clear and sharp. It is both the impurities and the structure of present-day iron and steel that make it rust out so quickly." After which remarks I just naturally thought of our wrought iron side posts and recalled that a long time has passed since we have said anything particular about them. Even so, about all there is to say now, is, that the only reason we use guaranteed wrought iron posts is because of their superior lastingness. Our rafters are steel. Rut the rafter and post are not in one piece. The steel rafter is double splice plated to the wrought iron post, at the eave. Of course, steel posts do cost less. We could make more money by using them. When you buy a house of us, we claim that you get the best house money can buy. It wouldn't be so, if we used steel posts, instead of guaranteed wrought iron. When your posts rust out, what then happens? Exactly what happens some day, when along comes a stiff blow or a hea^•y snow? Because of just such a happening, we recentl.y put up two of our standard houses for J'lorex Gardens, at North Wales, Pa. Which occurrence is its own best evidence in favor of L. & B.'s houses.

FLOWERS SUPERIOR sy The Largest Growers of Flowers in the World The Florists^ Review July 1, 1920 1 FREESIA PURin - improved The Freesia Bulbs the American Bulb Co. offers were raised by the finest grower in California. Florists who have grown our Freesia Bui bs have received large returns when they were shipped to the wholesale flower markets. In every case we have received a duplicate order, which was increased over the original order. Florists who have purchased Bulbs from us agree that we handle the finest quality of well matured, ripeiied bulbs. We believe we are the largest handlers of high-grade PURITY FSEESIA bulbs in America.- Florists who have not given us a trial will profit by sending us their first order. We know you will re-order from us every season, after enjoying your first successful season with our high-quality bulbs. By early planting they can easily be brought in bloom at Christmas and a continuous blooming season can be maintained by successive plantings. For growing on the side of Carnations or to follow Chrysanthemums, we recommend smaller bulbs. To get good results they should be tied up like Carnations. Do not overlook this fact, as it is important. Bulbs procurable in the followinsf sizes: Per 1000 Per 1000 Up to la-inch $8.00 Mammoth Bulbs, >^ to ?< -inch $17.00 hi to >i -inch ... 12.50 Large Jumbo Bulbs, M^ -inch and up . 23.00 We pay Express Charges at these Prices 1 M.

The colors are very fine and sell readily. Yours Truly, GEORGE C. WEILAND. RAINBOW FREESIA We can now supply this long waited for, beautifully colored RAINBOW Freesia. They are carefully selected and may be had in the best colors. The better floral shops throughout the country are using these very extensively. $35.00 per 1000.

POEHLMANN BROTHERS COMPANY Complete Service for Florists CHICAGO Long Distance Phone Randolph 35 66 to 74 East Randolph Street I / 8 The Florists' Review Jolt 1, 1920 How Do You Buy Moss? By the bale? Yes. Does the bale you buy contain the three requisites of a bale of moss, PRICE, QUALITY, QUANTITY ? "Rando Brand" moss contains all these requisites, together with an unblemished name for being a SUCCESSFUL brand of moss for years. Consider PRICE: The observ- ant florist w^ill measure the moss he buys. For the same price you get a 48x14x16 bale of "Rando Brand" moss instead of a 44x14x14 bale of ordinary moss, w^hich assures you of 22^/10% more moss. Because we have our OWN swamps and harvest our own moss, dry it, prepare it and bale it, you are assured of the best moss on the market when you buy "Rando Brand." When ordering moss, order "Rando Brand." A. L. Randall Company 180 North Wabash Avenue, CHICAGO, ILL. .V'l.

Special efforts will be demanded of growers to secure their supply. F I cannot get coal now," asked a florist the other day, "what will be the situation in the fall?" Truly a query deserving serious thought. And it is being given much consider- ation by the greenhouse owners in all parts of the country, save those fortu- nate few who have a local and certain source of supply. Just now the florist who goes to his coal dealer with the in- tention of laying in a part, at least, of next season's supply, finds he can get no satisfactory quotations and no as- surances in regard to delivery. If he is not an established patron of the coal company, the florist is likely to obtain no hearing at all. And if he has been a regular customer, he gets little real satisfaction from the coal dealer's re- plies to his questions. No Storage Coal Now. On one point he is given reason to be sure,- namely, that there is no coal to be had now for storage purposes. All that there is available is demanded so strongly by manufacturers whose fac- tories have been partly or completely shut doWn for lack of fuel that the price is so high that no one wishes to pay it who has 'notf immediate and urgent need of fuel. Under such cir- cumstances the purchaser for storage — the role of florists at this time — feels inclined to postpone his requests in an- ticipation of more favorable conditions. Even a buyer who will pay the price asked receives no assurances in regard to delivery. The dealer expresses his desire to get the cars along as soon as possible, but, if pressed, admits his inability to do much about it with the railroads in the situation which exists now. Even after the cars are on the way, the dealer usually has no idea how far they have traveled and can only conjecture as to when they will reach their destination. Transportation the Cruz. The root of the trouble lies in the trafiic congestion caused by the switch- men's strike, though several other causes have contributed to an aggrava- tion of the coal consumer's difficulties. Naturally it takes time to get into move- ment all the cars that were side-tracked when the switchmen walked out, par- ticularly when the railroads are as poor- ly equipped as they are reported to be at the present time. It takes a still longer time to catch up with the trans- portation of commodities which was de- layed during that time. And just when the job of doing all this is in hand comes the time when the grain crops de- mand cars for movement eastward, ad- ding to the strain. The result is a bigger load than the horse can carry and, consequently, the load is not carried. Coal waits at the mines for cars to move it away. Miners are idle because there is no way to transport the coal they might dig. Pro- duction has fallen to thirty to forty per cent of normal, a rate that spells high prices for the rest of the year and a certain fuel shortage n^xt winter if it continues. Moreover, the facilities for moving the coal which will be needed for next winter show no signs of early improve- ment. Many of the men who ivalked out during the switchmen's strike found employment in othe* i5.dustries. The prolonged strike and the good wages in these other industries caused these men to remain at their new jobs after the strike finally came to an end. Shortage of Bailroad Workers. Hence there are now, it is estimated, only seventy-five per cent as many yard- men, switchmen and similar workers on the railroads as there were a year ago. Included in this number are a good many new and inexperienced men. They re- quire instruction and supervision by the older men. Consequently the actual Average Daily Production of Bituminous Coal Shows Basis of PredictioD of Inac'equate Supply. aI I I I II -I 1 I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I Jan. Feb. Moir. Aor.

Dec. 14 The Flo^ts^ Review July 1, 1920 capacity for work of the present force is even farther below normal than the figures indicate. Under these circum- stances, immediate relief of traffic con- gestion and restoration to normal con- ditions is not to be expected. Moreover, there seems to be an actual shortage of rolling stock, due to the economy practiced by tlie government railroad administration and since the roads were returned to private control. It has been pointed out that new coal cars have not been tHfdered by the rail- roads in anything like an adequate num- ber since government control was re- moved. In equipment circles orders have been reported for something like 3,700 coal cars, it is stated. The esti- mate which was made by the special equipment commijttee of the Association of Eailway Executives showed need for approximately 50,000 gondolas and hop- pers, both styles of rolling stock being suitable for the movement of coal. It is believed that replacements of coal car rolling stock at the rate of ap- proximately 3.52 per cent are necessary every year in order to provide adequate supply. This figures out roughly to about 34,500 cars each year. Eegarding the outlook for further ordering of coal cars for the account of the roads, it is believed that when all contracts have been signed the carriers will not have made commitments for more than 5,000 new cars for 1920. Assigned Car System Blamed. Some of the responsibility for the lack of cars has been placed by coal operators upon the interstate commerce commission, because of the restoring of the assigned car system. That this system is a failure was demonstrated, they say, during the war, when it was banished by Fuel Administrator Gar- field. "Through the instrumentality of this commission, it is stated, the rail- roads once again have been placed in a position to dictate to the coal industry and once again it has become necessary to renew the fight against an iniquit- ous practice prejudicial not only to the Hoal industry but to the country at la^e." The only mines able to obtain cars with any degree of regularity, it is as- serted, are those furnishing railroad I fuel. In many instances, in self-de- fense, mines are compelled to accept railroad fuel orders in order to get cars at all. At a time when the car supply averages little more than thirty-five per cent, the effect of wholesale and promis- cuous assignment of cars is apparent. It creates a scarcity of coal for com- mercial shipment. "When mines are forced to accept railroad fuel orders in order to get cars, the, railroads, it is charged, demand concessions and con- sequently obtain coal at a lower price than commercial consumers. Somebody has to pay the difference between the market price ent is noted in the last few weeks, but not so rapid as it should be, because the railroads cannot furnish the needed cars to carry the coal away from the mines. The heavy black line must climb more vertically in the next few months if our supply is to be at all adequate. That ij: is above 1919 is no comfort, since the big drop in last No- vember must be made up. To meet the heavy demand, both for current use and to furnish reserves, production should, experts say, be up to the high mark of 1918, so that instead of a weekly 9,000,- 000 tons, we should have 12,000,000 tons. Vigilant Persistence. Under present conditions, this figure is not soon possible. The ear shortage and the inadequate railroad service render hope of such a thing quite vain. Hand-to-mouth consumption of coal will continue for some time and supplies for storage will not be large. As soon, however, as immediate in- dustrial needs are satisfied, florists will be better able to secure shipments. But it will be by no means so easy as in former years to secure next winter's supply. The greenhouse owner must be vigilant and persistent. He must be un- ceasing in his efforts to lay in an early supply. In three months the autumn rush will create a still keener demand. The aim of the florist, therefore, must be to secure his coal at the earliest favorable opportunity, for, hard as it may be to get coal during the summer, it will be still harder when cold weather arrives. JUNE SHOW AT PROVIDENCE. The Ehode Island Horticultural So- ciety held its annual June exhibition of roses, peonies, strawberries and other seasonable exhibits in the Nar- ragansett hotel, Providence, June 22 and 23. The ballroom was well filled with exhibits. A long table running down the center of the large hall con- tained a grand collection of hybrid tea roses and peonies from Fred C. Green, superintendent of Eoger Williams park. Providence. Included were three beau- tiful new yellow Moutan peonies raised by Lemoine, named Souvenir de Maxine Corner, L'Esperance and La Lorraine. Fine peony displays came from Mrs. Samuel Brown, Mrs. Clinton E. Walch and John S. Doig, head gardener to F. S. Peck, Barrington, E. I. Ephraim Morley had the finest indi- vidual bloom of hybrid teas in the com- petitive classes in Lady Ashtown. There were good displays of hybrid teas, hybrid perpetuals and ramblers. John S. Doig had the best group of flowering and foliage plants; Maple- hurst Greenhouses, Longmeadow, E.|I., were second. The table decoratioW 6f Mrs. Walch and collection of ^a^dy perennials from John S. Doig were extra fine. Johnston Bros, had the best bride's bouquet. Strawberries were large and handsome Jrom Ephraim Mor- ley, Arthur Sallon and John Gerard, Bristol, E. I. W. N.

That a seller of goods, under agree- ments to allow the buyer a discount on payment of the price being made within thirty days, on two or three occasions permitted the buyer to deduct- the dis- count on payments made after lapse of thirty days, did not give the buyer a vested right to make such unauthor- ized deduction in subsequent transac- tions.

New Ooiutruction Methods. Daring the period of the emergency the whole trade had to meet the vary- ing conditions and adjust their business to new demands, with the result that to- day there is a unity of purpose all through the trade that has never been known before. Old methods of production and mer- chandising have been changed. Closer business relations between the growers and the retail men have been estab- lished through collective advertising, etc., and a broader field is opening up. The whole scope of the business is be- ing extended to meet the new condi- tions. From amidst all this chaos, there have come better methods, better man- agement and a greater volume of busi- ness. And among the more important of the reorganization problems is the construction of the greenhouse range. An Important Consideration. Construction is, and was always, a most important cohsideration, but espe- cially so at this time, when fuel and labor are such vital factors. Construc- tion that will endure, glass that will stay tight, heating systems that are economical and arrangements that ad- mit of minimum labor are some of the important matters that reorganization has brought out. The scarcity and the high prices of building material have presented con- ditions that the greenhouse builders have found hard to meet. Some of them have met it by standardization and pro- duction. The addreis of H. E. Bates, of the Lord A BDmham Co., oil "Present Business Reor- ganization and Its Effects on Greenhouse Con- struction," before the Pittsburgh Florists' and Gardeners' Club. The growers are fast coming to the realization that they are not builders, but growers, and they see the extrava- gance, waste and shortsightedness of de- signing and building their own houses. By standardization and by putting gp-eenhouse material on a production basis, it is easy to see that economy in material and labor vrill start where it should — at the factory. Certain greenhouse construction ma- terial has been made for some time in standard sections, sizes and patterns and in stocked quantities, but it has been hard to standardize a complete type of house and stock, owing to the grower's custom of incorporating into his building certain ideas and theories of his own. Result of Years' Study. The standardized-production house is the result of years of building and study of greenhouse engineering. It is one of a certain type, either iron-frame or semi-iron, commercial or private, in widths of fixed dimensions and made to erect in multiples of eight feet four inches, eight feet four and one-half inches and twelve feet six inches in length. These houses htive all been worked out and detailed in the drafting room, lists made, specifications drawn, etc., and then put in the shop as one big order. These houses are manufactured on a production basis, you might say by the mile, and sold by the foot. The first ap- peal to the customer is the cost, for they will run from ten per cent to twen- ty per c^t lower in price than special houses, but on careful study of detail and specifications, one will realize the superiority of this type over a special construction, as the house is standard- ized with all the best and most up-to- date features of construction included and put through the factory in that way. All parts are interchangeable, therefore mechanically correct, with uniform finish and accurate - workman- ship. Jigs, fixtures and other labor- saving devices are employed that are safeguards against blunders, poor workmanship and waste of mate- rial. Another advantage to the grow- er is that shipment of this class of house can be made promptly and with less liability of shortages, etc. Formerly, when each greenhouse job was put through the factory separately, when its construction and details were the combined ideas of grower, salesman and manufacturer, the result was not always satisfactory. There, was not the uniformity of construction, performance, first cost and upkeep that the growers might expect. Delays in getting the work through the factory and in ship- ping were constantly a source of anx- iety to the manufacturer. No Season For Waste. There was an extravagant waste of time and material in this method of building and the customer paid for it. But why should he? If, by employing methods that have proved so satisfac- tory in other lines of manufacturing, the production could be made better, cheaper and more satisfactory to the consumer, why not standardize and give to the grower a product that is the last word in completeness and economy? By comparison with the automobile business, it can be shown how produc- tion has made it what it is today. When automobiles were first sold you were charged extra for windshield, top, lamps, etc. Now they are a part of the regular equipment. Self-starters, elec- tric devices, demountable rims and vacuum gas feed are now considered a matter of standard equipment on prac- tically all cars. What has made these changes possi- ble? The only answer is standardiza- tion and production. ^ Ready-Made Greenhouses Have Lowered BuHding Costs without Lowering Strength or DutaWHty. H y, * "/■ ' 16 The Florists^ Review July 1, 1920 The automobile manufacturers have centered their efforts on standardiza- tion and production to the mutual bene- fit of all. This business policy can be maintained in the manufacture of green- house material. You can get specially d.osigned autos for special work, trucks and truck bodies, but you must pay for this privilege. You will always be able to get special greenhouses, special types, designs, etc., for locations where standard sections cannot be used. But the standard house can be used almost anywhere and for practically all pur- poses. Building Problem Simplified. With a full ^understanding of just what the standardized production house isj what it means to the trade as a whole, from the grower to the retailer, the problem of building will be greatly simplified. The layout of a new range, or additions to the old one, will not have so many perplexities as in the past. Standard widths and lengths of sec- tions will differ with manufacturers, equipment will vary according to the policy of" the various concerns, but the basic principle of standardization will be in all construction. Some of the manufacturers will not come to this policy at once, some of the growers will not take kindly to this standard idea at first, but both manufacturer and grower will come to the full realization of what this standard production means when the rush of business is upon them, when time moans everythiag and every- thing depends on when the house can be planted. SUMMER C0X7BSE FOE WOMEN. The School of Horticulture for Women, Ambler, Pa., announces its summer course, beginning August 2 and continuing until August 28. The course includes subjects in floriculture, vege- table gardening, fruit, canning and pre- serving. The tuition for the course is $25. a€N lErm^y^ DEADEn^ HEARING FROM THE HANDS. BifSjig the Bonus System. I read with interest in The Review of June 10 the article entitled "Trade Tries Profit Sharing" and about "Hold- ing the Hands." I am one of the hands. I think the bonus system is wrong. I think also that Mf. Ras- mussen's idea is wrong. This is why: In an establishment of the size of Mr. Easmussen's, where there is a consider- able number of employees, the older em- ployees would make life miserable for the new men until the latter would give up in disgust and quit, nine times out of ten, withDut giving any reason. Now, the florists' business is something a lit- tle bit different from any other busi- ness, because the men employed in it must ])e intelligent and steady; you will find that most of the men are steady. Why Men Quit. Here are some of the things because of which men quit. Too many bosses, is one reason. There should be only one, and he or she should be absolute. There can be only one boss in a green- house, only one that has any business to give orders. If you have a foreman, he is the man to settle all questions. For another thing, the owner should see that the equipment is good and that the watering outfit, such as boots and aprons, is kept in good condition. If you do not furnish them, now is a good tim^ to start. Almost any other business, where men make two or three times the amount of money which we make in the greenhouses, furnishes its men with waterproof materials when there is any wet work to be done. Take an interest in your men if you want them to take an interest in their work. If 'you board them, give them decent board and decent quarters to live in, Ifaybe Different; Maybe Right. - Remember, when you start a new man, that he has learned his trade prob- ably by a method different from the way you learned yours. Maybe his is a better way than yours; maybe yours is a better way than his. If he is a flo- rist, give him some responsibility. Tell him what his work is and then leave him alone. If he turns out the goods, treat him right. When he goes stale or shows any sign of going stale, antici- pate him. Then, when you do want a man for overtime or anything else, you will have a man you can depend upon. If he cannot do the work, you know what to do — let him go. Pay him decent wages, and if you have had a good year, give him a sub- stantial Christmas gift, two weeks' or a month's salary, and let him know that you are his friend. If he has any trou- bles or anything bothering him or if he needs any advice, let him know that you are willing to help. Get together once in a while and encourage him to offer suggestions and, if they are good, give him credit for them. But, for heaven's sake, cut out the talk about bonus and percentage, or you will spoil the men. Cut out the jqshing. Putting in Pep. If you have a certain bunch that hangs together and carries tales, get a long, strong rope and hang them all to- gether. Keep them away from the new men. Fire them if you have to. Play no favorites; you cannot do it and ex- pect new men to stay with you. Most of the men in this business are pieces of highly developed mechanism and r.re pretty thin-skinned. If you have any- thing to say to a man, say it to him de- cently and not before a gang of fellows who are waiting to watch him get bawled out. Cut out all the Sunday work that you can and load a bunch of the workers in an automobile and take them away from the greenhouses for a Sunday afternoon. Then watch their pep in the days following. There are a thousand different ways to interest the men in their work and keep them interested. This is true as much in a small range, where only one or two are employed, as in the larger establishments. A. Hodge. WHERE'S THE GOLDEN RXJUS? I wish to call attention to a growing evil, which few who read this have escaped if they buy or grow stock for planting. It is the poor and sickly plants so often shipped by men whose names sound well in this business. This stuff is frequently hopeless and packed poorly, with a stiff charge for packing when it starts. Many growers are harassed the whole season attempting the impossible task of nursing it back, wasting their limited time and space. Its initial cost, considerable though it is, forms but a small part of this loss. Growers who ship these unfair goods know this and it does not speak well for their sense of right or sympathy for their fellow craftsmen; those quali- ties are sometimes as weak as the plants shipped. The evej*-ready steam pipe, Burleson and the express company are not always convincing excuses when the goods themselves suggest they were too weak to travel. It seems a bad practice, too, for some plant brokers confidently to ad- vertise, push and promise delivery on items which, frequently after months of delay, they cannot deliver. Nor shbuld they have plants sent out which they never saw, thus making them- selves parties to the practices here re- ferred to. An order to some brokers now is like a prayer; the thing may be granted now or sometime in the future. And, as with a prayer, too, the person asking for the thing and not getting it afcvall is often fortunate that he did not get it. Perhaps most of us are too bii»y to bother much about little things like trying to give the other person what we would wish him to give us, for if we do not get his money we shall get that of someone else and it's the money that counts, not the thing given in ex- change for it. F. Fallon. ' HYACINTHS DAMPING OFF. What causes hyacinths, especially the white varieties, to fail to push up th^ flowering spikes f When the spikes are up about two inches they can be lifted out; they are entirely detached from the crown. E. W. — Pa. There are two probable causes of your hyacinths failing to flower satisfactor- ily. First, many bulbs become heated in transit and as a result the embryo flower buds are killed in the bulbs. The plants will produce foliage, but not flowers, although sometimes weak spikes will appear and melt away. Tu- lips and certain varieties of narcissus are often heated and spoiled in this same way. Second, an excess of mois- ture, either outdoors or indoors, will fre- quently cause hyacinth spikes to damp off and white ones are more delicate and susceptible than those of other col- ors. Indoors every care should be taken not to wet the spikes when watering; outdoors avoid a stiff, retentive soil and, if at all possible, make it more porous by adding coarse sand, fine coal ashes and some well decayed manure. C. W. Jolt 1, 1920 The Florists^ Review 17 PRESIDENTS CALL COME TO CLEVELAND. The President Calls. The thirty-sixth annual convention of the S. A. F. is now only six weeks distant. The central location of Cleve- land ought to insure a big attendance from all sections of the country. August 17, 18 and 19 are dates con- venient for the majority of the florists and climatic conditions in the Cleve- land district at this time are usually such as to make a sojourn there most enjoyable. This convention should prove to be particularly interesting to those en- gaged in our industry. The reconstruc- tion period in business following the war has brought many problems which' florists are of necessity obliged to solve and in this direction material assist- ance is afforded through the conven- tion and the excellent trade exhibi- tion arranged in connection with it. Make up your mind to be among those who will gather at the convention. It matters little what particular branch of our profession you are most inter- ested in; you will learn something to your advantage or pick up an idea tending to make your interest greater. You will meet hundreds of your fellow florists, with whom you can exchange views and discuss possibilities. If you have never attended one of our conven- tions, especially in recent years, you have a treat awaiting you, one com- bining business and pleasure. It is one of the greatest annual gatherings ar- ranged in the interests of any indus- try; about 20,000 square feet of floor space is required to house comfortably the convention and the trade exhibition. Few cities can provide this amount of space in a single location. Best Come as a Member. If you are not a member of our society, why not join us at the conven- tion? Better still, send your check for $5 to Secretary John Young, 43 "West Eighteenth stree^, New York, right away and become a member in advance. Our membership is reaching up to the 4,000 mark and is thoroughly rg^re- sentative of our industry in all its branches. Our trade exhibition alone is worth a journey to Cleveland — or to any other city for that matter. This year it is to be the largest in the history of the society. If you are a retail florist, you will see the latest creations and de- velopments in store supplies, vases, baskets, decorative auxiliaries and busi- ness helps. If a grower, you will be interested in the various greenhouse appliances, examples of greenhouse construction and heating apparatus. The plant exhibits and bulb displays, interesting to both branches of the florists* business, will be found most comprehensive, and many little sur- prises are promised. A Trip for the Family. You need not come to Cleveland alone. Bring your wife, or others of your family; they will surely enjoy their visit as much as you will your- self. The hotels in the city can take care of us all and the local florists promise us a most hearty reception. Quite probably your business owes you a little respite from the cares and re- sponsibilities of an active year and you will have it in a visit to the convention, returning to your labors better equipped to continue the struggle for something more than mere existence. In behalf of the society, I invite you to join with us in our effort to make the 1920 convention one of enjoyment and lasting benefit, as well as the big- gest and best among the thirty-six on record. It will be ^ most democratic gathering, without frills or formalities of any kind likely to disturb the pleasures of a visit of which the min- gling of good souls is a prime feature. A. L. Miller, President. LADIES' S. A. F. Come to Cleveland! If, as members of the Society of American Florists predict, the coming convention of this society is to be a record-breaker, both in interest and at- tendance, may I appeal to the members of the Ladies' S. A. F., urging every woman to interest herself in this forth- coming convention and consider herself a committee of one to make plans for the success of our part of the conven- tion? It would be a great encourage- ment to all of the officers who are try- ing to make the society a real working force in horticultural affairs if the at- tendance of the members could be record-breaking. Never before have so many women been interested in the florists' profes- sion and never was there a need of a stronger affiliation, whether the interest is from a personally conducted business or merely as the wife, sister or mother of a florist, grower or seedsman. The social element of every great business must be considered and it is the duty and the pleasure of the ladies to look after this, not only to make the convention better for the ladies, but better for the men. We plan this year to revive the special feature for the ladies' evening entertainment. To make this a success we need more than plans, more than funds; we need your attendance and your interest. I have been an attending member at these con- ventions for several years and it has been the greatest pleasure to meet the members from all over the United States. As president of the society it is my greatest desire to bring the ladies into a closer association this summer. It is to our mutual advantage and pleas- ure that we know each other better and these conventions offer the only oppor- tunity. We need a closer cooperation and the association that these few days afford is of far-reaching benefit. We need your presence. I feel fully justified in making an earnest appeal, urging every woman who can to attend the conven- tion and if not already a member of the Ladies' S. A. F., we shall surely enroll you, for once an attendant at a success- ful convention, always a member. Mrs. B. Hammond Tracy.

Our business for Memorial day is undergoing a radical change and that change can be made one for the general benefit of everyone engaged in tfte flo- rists' business. The demand for bou- quets and cut flowers may become a thing of the past — a condition for which florists can blame only themselves. The underlying cause is the result of "pick- ling" flowers, which turns out to be a loss to the grower and a source of much dissatisfaction to the retailer. Years ago the public could buy bou- quets for from 50 cents up, but it is doubtful if anyone ever made money out of them. Most of us have had a taste of making bouquets at 50 cents and $1. Of course some went as high as $3 and $5, but I am speaking of the general run. It was great fun (?) try- ing to do an acceptable job with stocks, spiraea, a red peony in the center, squeez- ing in a spray of lilac, a tulip or two, an iris and the trimmings-^all for $1. Sleepy Flowers Cause Slack Trade. Today many retailers will not make any kind of bouquet for less than $2 and consequently purchasers expect better quality in lieu of quantity. But they do not expect to find, after o few hours, that the carnations are going to sleep and the roses falling apart, or that, after an hour in the cemetery, the bouquet is beginning to sag in the middle because it misses the cool, brac- ing air of the icebox which has been the former home of the flowers. Under such conditions is it surprising that we find an increasing demand for artificial stock, which every retailer "hates to handle," but which the public demands? It is perfectly legitimate business to charge .$3 per dozen for carnations, $1.50 per bunch for sweet peas and $5 per dozen for roses, but they should be fresh and of high quality. It is bad business to spend money advertising a commodity which does not prove satis- factory to the purchaser. What can be the state of mind of a person who, on Memorial day, has tried to "Say It with Flowers" because flowers con- vey the appropriate message of love and remembrance, and then finds the flowers lie down on their job and go to sleep? It is an open question whether any- thing is gained in the pickling process. We will say that a carnation grower >---T-r ,v-:-y. 18 The Florists^ Review JPLT 1, 1920 does not cut any flowers for a week previous to any of the big days. He makes one big cut — but many of the flowers are then pass6 and "cause a shrinkage if the grower has a conscience and examines them before shipping. The retailer receives them and the next day still more<>have passed on, a loss which opens an argument between the wholesaler and retailer. The retailer passes the flowers on to his customers and, while his intentions may be of the best, there is a possibility of there being one or more "sleepers" in each -dozen, a condition which means that the pur- chaser will probably return them to the retailer and demand an explanation, with the consequent dissatisfaction of all concerned. When the ultimate shrinkage is taken into consideration the grower would be money in pocket to cut his carnations regularly and sell only such as would prove satisfactory. That plan would shorten the supply, but would boost the selling price of first-class stock. Pot plants are, as a rule, satisfactory, because they are almost certain to last a week or two in good condition. The trend of the demand seems to be to- wards pot plants and artificial stock and the demand for cut flowers will be on the increase only when the buying public feels that it is getting its money's worth. Publicity in Time of Gluts. In view of the new organizations which are being formed in our business, the following idea has come to the writer, but whether it would come under the jurisdiction of the S. A. - F. or of the National Flower Growers' Associa- tion can be settled later. About May 20 business in the flower market in Boston was completely flat, with carna- tions selling at $2 per hundred, wonder- ful long-stemmed sweet peas hard to move at $1 per hundred, roses at a standstill — all flowers of fine quality, but with no sale for them. It seems as though there should be in each city ah advertising committee, part of whose duty should be to watch the market in time of .gluts, with the authority to place advertisements in the leading papers at such times, letting the public know that flowers were never more plentiful or beautiful or fragrant. Where would the funds for this adver- tising come from? If it were possible to figure the loss occasioned by gluts and balance it against the gain from such advertising, the result would amply justify the amouifT spent in advertis- ing. Growers should be willing to share equally with the retailers, if not to take a larger share, in the cost of any advertising. See how "big business" does things. William Wrigley has sj/ent $20,000,000 in the last twelve years in advertising his gum. If he had waited for all those who retail his product to do his advertising for him, where would lie be. today? That is the point of view the growej' should take in our business. Blow your own horn! Eobert S. Edgar. -WJ^vf/ii.vs/iLXS/J'VS^lvsyjt^S^JtXSAJiyryjL^ LOOKING BACK OVEB THE YEAR. Review the Work. Another year's history has been writ- ten in the florists' business and, to my mind, this would be an opportune time for us to stop for a brief period and re- view the last year's mistakes -tnuiy fail- ures, so that, instead of being charged up to us as failures, they may be transferred into valuable assets. This can be done if we will be honest with ourselves and look the situation fear- lessly in the face. Now that the season is over, get down to brass tacks and liquidate your business. You can do this on paper for your own information, but you should meet every item square- ly and see where you stand and what the season has meant for you. Have a thorough house-cleaning and see if you can't discover leaks that might have been eliminated. There is no time to do this like the present, when they will be fresh in your memory. ^' In these times of prosperity it is well for us to remember that frequently "things are not what they seem." We are all familiar with the man from Missouri; use his methods and majse your business for the last year "show you." This can easily be done, be- cause there is no part of it that you are not familiar with. For instance, if some particular house in your range has fallen behind another in production, all things being equal of course, there is certainly a reason. The fault may have been with you or it may have been with the house itself; perhaps the heating outfit may have been at fault. Above all things, locate the fault and eradi- cate it. Don 't start another season under the same conditions. Conditions Changed. The day wlien you can go along in this business with your clutch in neu- tral is forever gone. In these days of business efiiciency there is just one po- sition for the man who grows flowers for a livelihood and that is with a steady nerve, a strong hand on the wheel, eyes ever ahead and the clutch in high gear. This may sound like joy riding, but it is that quality of busi- ness joy riding that will not bring dis- aster instead of joy. As we look back over the last year there is one word that holds a most conspicuous place in this history. It is "shortage." All of us can recall that from the time the chrysanthemum crop closed last fall the cry has been from Maine to California, "More plants, more cut flowers." Solomon in his proverbs tells us, "The horseleach hath two daughters, crying, 'Give, give'." It is not my intention to liken the re- tailers to these daughters, but anyone who spent much time around wholesale florists ' establishments last winter will realize that they were in much the same positioiv and, like the daughters, were not satisfied. The point I wish to emphasize is, can you not increase your production next season? No doubt some of you have read the signs of the times and will en- ter next season with more glass, but if for one reason or another you have not done this, can you n'ot by in- tensive cultural methods speed up pro- duction? Now is the time to at least map out your plans. Scarcity Last Fall. Remember the scarcity of blooming plants last Christmas and the prices they brought? Well, there is just one person who will keep history from re- peating itself and he is the grower. While the extremely high prices of last season were most attractive and easy to obtain, and I am charging no one with profiteering, it was simply a case of supply and demand regulating the mar- ket. The florist was simply lucky that there was so much money in circulation. But let us remember that conditions are going to be more normal during the coming season and values are going to be studied more. It will be up to the grower, if he wants to see the industry prosper, to meet these changed condi- tions. This can only be done by a pro- duction in keeping with the demand. Let us remember that there are more flowers being used today than ever be- fore in the history of the business. There are two reasons for this: The first is, no doubt, the war and the greatly increased circulation of money. Big profits and high wages gave a class of people the opportunity to indulge in flowers who never could to any extent before. This class became patrons of the florists and are today a part of the flower-buying public and we want to keep them as such. But money is not flowing into their coffers with the same ease that it did a year ago. They are becoming more prudent and experience has taught them something of values. The second reason is advertising. How muc^ has the national advertising campaign had to do with making this great army of flower buyers? While I am a stanch . believer in local adver- tising, at the time that this part of the public was being taught to "Say It with Flowers" the national campaign was the only systematic one in the country. These are just a few hints. I could go on indefinitely. You are in an in- dustry that bids fair to be one of the greatest in this country. The Rubicon lias been crossed. The future will be just what you choose to make it. Tate. MINNEAPOLIS AND ST. PAUL. The Market. Outdoor flowers are beginning to come into the market, although not in great numbers. Business has been good during the last six weeks. Excessively hot weather damaged stock somewhat and hurried some kinds along too fast. Peonies were good for only a short time because of the heat. Three Flower Shows. -J Three small flower shows were held in the Twin Cities in June and were good advertisements for the trade. The Northwestern National bank, of Minneapolis, put on a good iris show and the following week the First Na- tional bank, of St. Paul, put on a good peony show for two days. D. W.

McCALLUM. UNIQUELY celebrating his twenty-third birthday, September 1, 1908, Edward J. McCallum established a wholesale cut flower business known as the McCallum Co., at 137 Seventh street, Pittsburgh. This, too, in the midst of the only too well remembered financial panic. Most of the wise ones shook their heads, and there were many times when young McCallum thought these same wise ones demonstrated their wisdom in shaking their heads. Ere long, however business began to flourish and at the present time the McCallum Co. is doing a country-wide business, operating two basket factories, a willow furniture factory, wireworks, two artificial flower factories and a range of greenhouses some dis- tance out of the city of Pittsburgh. In addition to these, prosperous branch stores have been established in New York, Detroit, Cleveland, Cincinnati and San Juan, Porto Rico, and purchasing offices in Paris and Hamburg, in all employing 227 people.

When is the proper time to propagate hardy shrubs, such as weigela, spiraea, hydrangea, philadelphus, ribes, etc? What care do they need and how large should the cuttings be? 0. B.— O. Half-ripened wood of all the shrubs named will root readily if put in at once. Take small cuttings, preferablv with heels, and remove all leaves but top ones; the latter ean be half re- moved. Put the cuttings in sand or sandy loam. Use a cohlframe, which must be kept shaded, and frequently give light sprayings until the cuttings are rooted, when more light and air can be gradually admitted. Later the sashes can be removed. Bunches of ripened shoots can also be taken in early winter, packed in damp sand over winter and lined out in spring in nursery rows, burying the cuttings two-thirds their depth and firming them well. Cuttings an average of eight to nine inches long are desirable for mature wood; much shorter ones with two or three eyes are more desirable to use now. C. W. Atchison, Kan.— H. A.

Charles Willis Ward, for years a con- spicuous figure in the florists' trade, died at the age of 63 at his home, in Eureka, Cal., Thursday, June 24, as the result of the culmination of heart trouble of many years' standing. He was thought dying two months ago, but recovered sufficiently to leave the house Saturday, June 19, to visit the nursery. After walking three-quarters of a mile he collapsed and gradually sank. He was unconscious Wednesday, June 23, and died the following day. Mr. Ward is survived by his wife, his son, David Ward, who is head of the Cottage Gar- dens, at Queens, N.

Just before his death he closed a deal for the sale of his Klamath river timber projjerly for over a half million ilollars. Charles Willis Ward was born in a lumber camp, at Mount I'leasant, Mich., in 1857. He received his education in the schools of Worcester, Mass., and Detroit, Mich. From the age of 17 to 27 he engaged in the logging and lum- ber business. In 1885 he went to Europe to study forestry conditions in Germany in connection with his voca- tion. Warning from physicians of ill health which might lead to a speedy death compelled him to give up this work. He subsequently took up the florists' business, less as work than as play. Mr, Ward often told the story of his seeing a bunch of carnations in a Greek jjcddler's hand oii the street in New ^'ork city and of being inspired to try to do for that flower what had al- ready been done for the chrysanthe- mum. The Cottage Gardens, at Queens, X. Y., were established in 1890. Mr. Ward had been engaged in growing car- nations in a small way for three years previously at East Moriches, N. Y, Pur- chasing the Nicholas Hallock farm, on the Eocky Hill road, near the village of Creedmore, in the fall of 1889, Mr. Ward took possession of the property June 1, 1890, and commenced the erec- tion of a range of carnation houses with the short span to the south. The succeeding year the range of glass was enlarged and for ten years thereafter new glass was added each year. In 1900 the original houses, with the short span to the south, were torn down and replaced with wide steel-frame struc- tures, among the first of their kind to be built, and they were one of the rea- sons for many visitors at the place. Carnations were the chief greenhouse product from the beginning at this establishment. In 1889 Mr, Ward joined with the late Fred Dorner, of La Fayette, Ind., in growing and intro- ducing the Dorner seedling carnations. He also began the raising of seedling carnations himself. He later laid plans to enter the nursery business and com- menced collecting and accumulating a stock of peonies. In 1901 the growing of nursery stock had progressed to such an extent that nursery sales were be- gun in a moderate way. The nursery business thereafter grew steadily. Mr. Ward was awarded many gold and silver medals for seedling carna- tions of his origination. He won the American Carnation Society's gold and silver medals several times. He was the first winner of the Fred Dorner memorial medal and he was also award- ed the Lawson gold medal several times. Among the numerous seedlings in- troduced by him the most conspicuous have been Mrs. C. W, Ward, Matchless, Governor Eoosevelt, Alma Ward, Gen- eral Maceo, General Gomez, Glacier, Harry Fenn, Lieutenant Peary, The President, Golden Beauty, Mrs, Theo- dore Roosevelt, Mrs. Tom Harvey, Howard Gould, Cottage Maid and Crystal White. In May, 1913, Mr. Ward was called to Eureka, Cal,, on legal business in connection with his timber interests there. He had to remain -there a year. Taking a liking to climatic and soil conditions, he commenced experiment- ing just as he had commenced experi- menting at East Moriches nearly thirty years before. At -Eureka Mr, Ward organized the Cottage Gardens Nurseries, a corpora- tion of which he became president and general manager. The property com- prised a 220-acre stock farm at Car- lotta, a nursery of sixty-six acres at Eden, just outside of Eureka, a bulb farm at McKinleyville and a sales of- fice at San Jose. The other officers of the corporation were: Vice-president, William DeGraaff; secretary-treasurer, K. L. Brown; operating manager, G. B. Morris; sales manager, W. B. Clarke. Mr. Ward bought the entire stock of the Holland Bulb Farm, at Victoria, B. C, consisting of 1,500,000 bulbs, from W. J. Van Aalst, who became superintendent of the bulb farm. There were grown tulips and narcissi, which, it was expected, would compete with the bulbs imported from Holland, At the Eden nurseries the growing of azaleas, rhododendroire, boxwood and conifers was undertaken, in an effort to provide native stock which would JCLT 1. 1920 The Florists^ Review ?3 equal that imported from Belgium. Several million plants were in the prop- agating houses and in the fields at Eden at one time. The magnitude of fi the undertaking made this work of Charles Willis Ward watched by the whole trade with great interest. Local difficulties forced the enter- prise at Eureka to go into the hands of a committee of creditors in December, 1918, since when it has been run by G. Van den Abeele as receiver, at Eureka, and W. B. Clarke as sales manager, at San Jose. At that time Mr. Ward filed assets of $1,116,000 and liabilities of $277,106.47. Mr. Ward was especially active in the American Carnation Society, Ameri- can Peony Society and Society of American Florist;9, serving as president of the first two organizations. He was also a life member of the New York Academy of Science, Brooklyn Academy of Science, Horticultural Society of New York, Massachusetts Horticultural Society, Pennsylvania Horticultural Society and the National Geographical Society, and a member of the California Nurserymen 's Association, Pacific Coast Nurserymen 's Association, American Pomological Society, California Forest Protection Association, Audubon So- ciety and Rivers and Harbors Congress. Bobert Malcolm Craig. Robert Malcolm Craig, the eldest son of W. N, Craig, superintendent of Faulkner Farm, Brookline, Mass., and Boston representative of The Review, was accidently drowned in the Charles river at Dedham, Mass., June 26. He planned to pass the night in canoes with some friends and his body was found below his boat in only two feet of water. As he was a good swimmer, it is believed he rolled out of the boat in his sleep and became entangled in the mud and herbage. He had just completed his first year of study at Northeastern College, where he had taken up chemical engineering. He had just celebrated his eighteenth birthday and was a youth of great promise. Funeral services were held from his late home at Faulkner Farm, Brookline, June 29. A great wealth of floral tributes came from friends, including many in the florists' trade. REMOVING DIRT FROM GLASS. Use of Acids Necessary. Cleaning greenhouse glass, a job that many growers wish to undertake at this time, is sometimes not an easy task. The cleaning of that which is in the sashes and that which is not are two different problems. There are those who, because of the high cost of every- thing connected with the erection and maintenance of a greenhouse, are using second-hand materials and a large amount of old glass is being used now. This old glass, for the most part, is dirty, having been taken out of the sashes without thought being given to cleaning it. There have been manv formulas used in getting the dirt off" glass, but the basis of most formulas is hydrofluoric .acid It ig diluted with water. The method that suits one person may not be suited to another, so several methods that have been used by growers are given. In a ^^^^ when even lye would Charles WiIHs Ward. (From a photnjjnipli hiiiilc at Sail Fnuiclsco on his flfty-iiiiith birthday anniversary, Dfccnihcr II, I'JKi.) > not remove dirt on glass, corrosive sub- limate was used. But this, as well as the rest of the "removers," must be handled carefully, as it will burn the hands. Another formula used successfully by a grower is to slake three pounds of quicklime with water and add one pound of American pearlash, making the mixture about the consistency of thick paint. Apply this to the glass and let it remain twenty-four hours. Then remove it with a stiff brush. Keep Hands from Acid. "^ Muriatic acid has been known to "turn the trick" and will not harm the glass, as some acids do. The directions are to mix the acid half and half with water. Put it in some big wooden ves- sel and put the glass in it for about fifteen minutes, when all dirt will be dissolved and it must then be washed off with a cloth and water. The usual warning is given: Don't get your hands in the solution. A different method of applying mu- riatic acid is the following: For loose glass have a wooden trough larger than the glass. Take the pure acid in an earthenware jar and apply it to the glass with a swab, or a piece of stick with a rag tied o.n the end. Lay the glass on a box or a table, level with the trough. Apply the acid evenly and rub only a little. Turn the glass over by means of another stick and rub the other side. Then slide it into the trough, into which a stream of water is run- ning continuously from a hose. After applying plenty of water, you may then remove the glass with your hands and set the panes on edge to dry off. This acid is said to remove anything. Care must always be taken, first, with the handling and, secondly, as to the strength of the acid. The operator must use good rubber gloves. If the acid is too strong the glass cleaned will look like frosted glass and will be ruined for greenhouse purposes. In cleaning glass that is in the roof, the process is more complicated. Care must be taken not to injure the putty or the sashbars. Acetic acid ia said to be suitable, especially for the re- moval of lime. Apply this acid with a brush, going over the glass two or three times if necessary, and the dirt and lime will be softened so that it can be readilv scrubbed off. Chestertovm, Md. — Walter L.

It is better to grow a little well than to grow much poorly. The Lord & Burnham Co. has discon- tinued its Montreal office. Bad check artists are working their old tricks on florists. Be on your guard. June made a record. The trade never had done so much business in the month. Perseverance will get coal ; keep at it, with a smile, but don 't bid above the mar- ket. Don 't fail to plan a vacation trip that includes the S. A. F. convention at Cleve- land, August 17 to 19. There are reports of the postponement of several greenhouse building projects for the reason that banking credit has been withdrawn. Geranium E, G. Hill is the favorite variety in 'the St. Louis district, large growers reporting the call for Hill is as great as the call for all other sorts com- bined. Opportunities presented in the Wanted and For Sale columns of The Review re- ceive particular attention under present conditions. Their number has increased notably of late. There are indications that large num- bers of florists who grow for their own retail or local wholesale trade, and who have not heretofore forced lilies, will plant some for next Easter. June unquestionably was an unusually good month for the trade and there is reason to believe that July and August will be better than ever before for all those who continue their personal efforts. There were geraniums left this season, but in practically every case it was stock which showed neglect at some stage of its growth. Many growers propagated more than they were able to care for at critical stages of growth. Since it is said that imitation is the sincerest flattery, reprinting of material from these columns in other trade journals, even without credit, should not, we presume, make the editor feel bad — the editor of The Review, that is, not speaking of the editor who reprints with- out saying so. It will, in all probability, cost more to grow flowers before it costs less than now. Glass is a problem for those who would build, but pipe is even more difficult to obtain. There are many indications that con- siderable greenhouse area will be idle dur- ing the coming winter, with the probabil- ity that the midwinter shortage of cut flowers will send prices even higher than last season. The thoughts of large numbers of those in the trade are turned toward the Pa- cific coast. Rapid as has been the growth there, the next decade seems likely to see far greater development of our trade 'a in- terests along the western ocean. White Killarnet on the growers' benches is the sole representative of a former ruling dynasty. All the other members of the large family have been dropped into the discard where quality stock is produced for wholesale markets. Greenhouse building is not the most simple of matters these days. There are delays all along the line, principally due to transportation difficulties, with the re- sult that many growers whose work has scarcely begun are wondering if their houses will be ready in time. Periodical bulletins of trade organiza- tions are costly undertakings since paper and printing prices have soared so high. I'o be worth the expense, thfey must be valuable either as propaganda to secure new members or as mediums of informa- tion regarding organization matters. BED, WHITE AND ELITE. Heretofore The Review has known only one phase of the paper shortage, that connected with skyrocketing prices, but this week congested trans- portation facilities have hit the cherished pink part a blow that re- minds of Fourth of July, not ;to say Joseph's coat. There is a six weeks' supply of pink paper in a freight yard not fifteen miles from the pressroom, but there was only two-thirds the neces- sary quantity in the warehouse when press time came. The Review is printed on sheets almost double the largest stock size in the paper trade, so to buy in the open market, in case of tem- porary shortage, is next to impossible. A few reams of blue paper of the neces- sary size were picked up, but the rest of fhe shortage had to be made up with white. So any reader who finds his pink part variegated this week will know the reason why. Next week the pink part will be all white unless the New York Central lines dig out that car. CAN'T INSUBE GOODWILL. "You can insure your life and your health; you can insure your home against burglary, your valuables against theft; you can insure your store against fire, your greenhouses against hail, your crops against tornadoes, your shipments against loss and your credit against fraud, but you cannot insure the good- will of your business in any company on earth." This emphatic way of putting the necessity for fair dealing was used by an advertising man before the conven- tion of the American Association of Nurserymen at Chicago last week. It is a statement that can be heeded by every branch of business, for it points out that the biggest asset a business has, particularly in the horticultural field, is something that is so slowly built and so easily destroyed that its actual value depends upon continued and un- interrupted attention to the details upon which hinges a firm's reputation for honesty. Good-will established today will be capitalized at greater value in years when business is not so good as now. So it pays to build it on a firm basis today. UNDER FALSE COLOBS. In a time when help is as scarce as it is now, references of a new employee are not scanned so closely as they sometimes are. Either grower or re- tailer is apt to put a man in a more or less responsible place upon his own statement of his ability. Often the ap- plicant 's allusion to a well known estab- lishment where he has worked is taken as a mark of his ability, without in- quiry as to his position or service at that place. So the errand boy or store helper makes pretensions of knowledge for the sake of securing larger wages. And he may get away with it for a time. There is, however, an unjust reflec- tion upon establishments whose repu- tation is unrightfully used by appli- cants in obtaining positions at other places. And the florist who employs such an applicant later learns his in- ability to fill the place, with much dis- satisfaction. To stop such a species of fraud, florists would be wise to investi- gate promptly all references given as previous employers, especially when the applicant cites them as evidence of his ability in the position he applies for. More care in this particular will save employers from adding to the high cost of doing business by paying undeserved wages to those whose ability is not what is claimed. And it will protect the repu- tation of those establishments whose names are unrightfully used as refer- ences. GOING SOME. Going-^going — yes, going some — and gone. That's the way it is with stock which is advertised in the Classified section of The Review. And that means that the business is "going some," too, truly a "going concern." You can see the whole picture right in this let- ter: Please discontinue my ad for chrj-santhemums. The first week the ad sold more than 40,000 — that is going some — nnd now I nm all sold out. — W. F. Dunteman, Bensenville, 111., June 12, 1920. If 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.

With peonies practically out of the way and a good demand for flowers for college and school functions, arrivals cleaned up well, and at times there were shortages of some staples. New York has been favored with exceptionally cool weather, which in many ways has been helpful. Now, however, summer has arrived and the temperature is run- ning along in the eighties, with a pros- pect of a continuance at that level. Eambler roses, always in demand for weddings, are just beginning to come in, - about three weeks late. Dorothy Per- kins, of which quantities are usually available at the same season, is only now showing color in this district. These items show how far the season is behind. Northern-grown peonies in small quantity havei^helped out in wed- ding decorations, and a wealth of herbaceous material has been moved for .similar requirements. American Beauty roses have been in good demand, with the supply about equal, although the quality has been, nothing to boast of. Special grades have been bringing as much as $40 per hundred for the best, with inferior ones down to $20, and short-stemmed grades within a range of $2 to $15. The supply of hybrid teas has been a little short; consequently, clearances have been easy at prices somewhat in excess of the quotations of the previous week. White varieties have been quite scarce, and short grades have moved at a $4 minimum. The supply of carnations is greatly decreased, and arrivals in general are of poor quality. One grower, however, is sending in some Mrs. C. W. Ward and Benora easily of the finest quality seen in recent years at this season and com- paring favorably with the quality of early March. Stock such as this brings easily $4 and $5, but the remainder cleans up slowly at from $1 to $2. There is a fair supply of cattleyas and only a moderate demand for them. The best Cattleya gigas bring as much as $1.50 per flower, with inferior blooms moving at prices down to 35 cents. White lilies are available in quantity to meet all demands, moving at $5 to $8 per hundred. The scarcity of lily of the valley is ended, arrivals having more than doubled and prices having receded to a range of $4 to $12, with the demand not exceedingly active. There continues to be a liberal sup- ply of herbaceous flowers, which seem to move fairly well. Gladioli from out- door plantings have not yet put in an appearance and, according to one or two of the local growers, it is possible that cutting will not commence much before July 20, early plantings having been kept back by the cold season. There are quantities of delphiniums, gaillardias, careopsis, calendulas, corn- flowers, candytuft, gypsophila, cen- taureas and daisies, and small lots of bouvardia, stocks and myosotis. Various Notes. Steamer business is improving every week. At the sailing of several liners last week the package depots on the piers presented an old-time appearance. C. H. Totty and Mrs. Totty, Madi- son, N. J,, sailed on the steamer France Thursday, Jiine 24, for Havre, and will return about the middle of August. Joseph 8. Fenricli is commuting now from Asbury Park, whore he has loc&ted his family for the summer. Peter Theophine, of the Boulevard Floral Co., Eighty-Eighth street and Broadway, was married Thursday eve- ning, June 24, at the Hotel Pennsyl- vania, to Miss Nina Stavrianon. James Papadem was best inan, assisted by C. Sakalos. There were eighty-four guests present, among them Mr. and Mrs. F. H. Traendly, Geo. D. Nicholas and Nick Laeles. N. Denis, of the Subway Arcade Florist Store, on St. Nicholas avenue, is receiving congratulations on the ar- rival at his home, June 23, of a daughter. A recent visitor was Jelle Roos, the gladiolus grower, of Concord, Mass. The many friends of Charles Willis Ward, formerly of Cottage Gardens, Queens, N. Y., received with regret news of his death, on the Pacific coast, Wednesday, June 23. Charles A. Dards has returned from a tour of several months in South America. J. H. P. The East Coast Hothouse Operators, Inc., whose plans for an extensive range at Millington, N. J., were outlined in these columns some time ago, have ap- plied for an increase in capital stock from $500,000 to $2,000,000. PEOVIDENCE, E. I. The Market. Business kept up remarkably well in June, some of the stores reporting that their sales for the first half of the month were equal to the sales for the entire month of June last year. The planting season, numerous weddings and an increasing counter trade, with heavy demands for funerals, have made this a particularly busy month. The quality of stock received is not up to standard. Roses are showing the effect of the weather, while carnations are rapidly going off, as many of the growers are clearing their benches for the season, and sweet peas have practi- cally all gone. Prices last week were quoted as fol- lows: Roses, $4 to $16 per hundred; carnations, $3 to $4; sweet peas, $1 and $1.50; peonies, $4 to $6; lilies, $1 and $2 per dozen; gladioli, $6 to $10; snap- dragons, $3 to $5; stocks, $2 to $4; valley, $8 to $12, and marguerites, $1.50 and $2. Various Notes. The building occupied by the Eastern Wreath Co., on Valley street, was struck by lightning during "the storm Tuesday afternoon, June 22. The young women employed in the factory received slight shocks, but the only damage done was the delaying of the machinery for sev- eral hours. Eugene McCarron, of Hope street, had a big run of business for small wed- dings last week. Last week was an unusually busy one for Johnston Bros., because of wedding work. Thomas A. Galligan is about to join the ranks of the benedicts, his bride- to-be being Miss Pearl M. Blackmar. Charles W. Grant, for many years superintendent of the Mount Hope cemetery, North Attleboro, died last week at his home in that town, after an illness of several months. He is sur- vived by his wife and two daughters. R. A. Foulds, of Fall River, who re- cently suffered an attack of paralysis, is reported as improving. M. B. Saunders, on Public street, is doing considerable repairing about his range of houses this season. Wallace Steere, of the What Cheer Wire Works, and his family have taken a cottage at Narragansett Terrace for the summer. Macnair has repainted the interior of his recently enlarged store, corner of Chestnut and Broad streets. James B. Canning and family, of Smith street, have gone to their cot- tage at Highland Beach for the summer. Vincent J. Berarducci has been hav- ing a big run of funeral work. For one funeral last week he had thirty-nine large designs. Benjamin Andrews has closed his flower department at the Pawtucket store of the S. S. Kresge Co. for the .season. William A. Bowers has moved into his new suburban bungalow on Shaw avenue, Edgewood. William Doel, of Broad street, Pascoag, is making extensive repairs at his range. William H. Buffington is building a new carnation house at his range at Fall River. Charles Sword, of Attleboro, was married Wednesday evening, June 23. W. H. M. CHICAGO. The Market. The market is much more heavily supplied than was the case a week ago. The increase is principally in roses, which have been forced out again by the return of extremely warm weather. With the rapid-growing varieties of the present day it takes only a few weeks from crop to crop, and under the influence of extremely hot weather only a few days are required to force out the buds on the plants. After a week of the weather that gives Chicago its repu- tation as a .summer resort, only three or four days of southwestern climatic con- ditions were required to fill the market again with small or open roses. There is a lot of stock in the market that is only fit for department store, or chain .store, or peddlers' uses. That it should find this outlet cannot possibly do any retailer harm; anyone who buys that class of flowers is almost sure to go to a real florist next time. Aside from roses, which are plenti- ful, there is not much else in the market except odds and ends. Carnations are disappearing rapidly. There are large quantities of peonies in cold storage, probably more than ever before on the last day of June, but they have been selling extremely well and are regarded as first-class property. Prices have risen, a most unusual circumstance with peonies in the last days of June. Some of the dealers are tkking advantage of the good market lo clean up, while others are holding j for a cent or two above the market price to stretch their supply through July and into August. Easter lilies are coming from a large number of new sources. Nearly every wholesale house has them in quantity. 26 The Florists^ Review July 1, 1920 DEPENDABLE ALL-SUMMER America's Largest You will find a large supply of Roses at Amling's all able shipping quality.

The price is lower than for a long time. Thus far gladioli have been from indoors, but the large growers in the open say they will cut within the next few days and prices are falling in anticipation of the midsummer sup- ply. Valley is decidedly scarce. Some of the wholesalers have been unable to fill orders taken days in advance, the demand proving to be much heavier than the supply. Cattleyas, too, are short of the demand and as much as $3 apiece is obtained for fine gigas. Delphinium in several varieties con- tinues in good supply and sells well. Sweet peas are practically gone. There are candytuft and feverfew, also coreop- sis, gaillardias and Shasta daisies. Statiee and gypsophila are being bought and dried. June's New Eecord. It has been a surprise to a good many of those in this market that June should have made a new record. At the beginning of the month there was an unwieldy surplus and in the latter part of the month stock turned short.

Roses did especially well; average rose prices were at least double those of June, 1919, and during the third week of the month this year some growers received three or four times as much for their stock as they did in the same week last year. When the wholesalers and growers do well it is a certainty that the re- tailers are having brisk business. First Car from Palm Factory. A matter of more than usual interest engaged attention at Morton Grove June 28. It was the opening up of the first car of palms shipped to Chicago from Bassett & Washburn's kentia fac- tory at Sierra Madre, Cal. The car contained 2,400 plants and came through by express at a cost of a little more than $1,000. Packing charges were only 5 cents per plant. The palms had been knocked out of the pots and each ball of soil had been sewed in burlap. Wet sawdust a foot deep had been put on the floor of the car and the plants stood on it so close together that they could not shift. After five days on the road they opened up in perfect condi- tion. C. L. Washburn was there to see the car opened and had as his guest Roy P. Wilcox, of Montebello, Cal., who also is in the palm business but who is not yet ready to ship finished kentias in carload lots. Greenhouse Builders Luncheon. In the management of a large busi- ness one of the greatest difficulties is to obtain proper cooperation between the different departments. This President P. L. McKoe, of the American Green- house Mfg. Co., secure? by means of monthly meetings of department heads and other principal employees; every- body gets a thorough knowledge of everything that is going on, so nobody works in the dark. The meetings con- clude with a luncheon, that of June 26 being served in a private dining room at the Hotel Randolph. There were twenty present, including Mr. Brown, of the New York office, Mr. Dolan, of the Kansas City office, and Mr. Andrews, superintendent of the Pana factory.

Wholesale Dealers in Cut Flowers 160 North Wabash Ave. CHICAGO With the coffee and cigars there were a number of talks. Mr. Lyndahl, of the Universal Portland Cement Co., pre- sented facts tending to show that there will be general business activity for years to come. H. B. Howard cited figures as to the glass area in the United States and the value of products, com- paring them with the population to show the opportunity for long continued expansion of the florists' business. Adolph Nielsen, the well known Pana grower, talked on the merits of various types of greenhouses for different pur- poses and answered a volley of ques- tions from his great store of experience. It was not known until after the pre- arranged schedule for the meeting had been completed that the mother of President McKee had died in the morn- ing of June 26. Various Notes. C. J. Michelsen returned June 25 ^rom a brief vacation trip on which he spent a week end, from Friday evening until Tuesday morning, with E. C. Am- ling and family at Sawtelle, Calif. With Harold Amling as driver, the Amling Packard was on the go about as long as there was light and it is safe to say no visitor ever saw more in so short a time. Most of the florists' establishments in the vicinity of Los Angeles were inspected and Mr. Michel- sen became greatly impressed by the present scope and possibilities for future expansion of the trade's inter- ests there. He was particularly pleased vy - 34 The Horists' Review JCLT 1, 1920 USE OUR EASTER LILIES We have a large supply of fine quality IN YOUR WORK ROSES OF GOOD QUALITY PEONIES All through July Delphinium, Coreopsis, Gaillardias, Shasta Daisies You will find this a good source of supply.

He said he never had seen finer kentias and that Ned Washburn looked as strong and healthy as the stock. While Mr. Michelsen was there the second carload to leave the place started east by fast freight. It was on an order from Poehlmann Bros. Co. Another car had been sent a few days before, by express, to Henry A. Dreer, Biverton, N. J. Mr. Michelsen says taking two carloads of plants out of the slat houses left no hole a visitor would notice. Mr. Michelsen says Mr. Amling has made good progress in de- veloping the 33-acre tract he recently bought at Sawtelle. First in the market with the new pink rose, Frank W. Dunlop, were Amling Bros., of Des Plaines. They began cut- ting about June 24. Paul Klingsporn spent a day at St. Paul last week and C. L. Sherer was in Cleveland. Peter Baumann and Her- man Franks, of the Flower Growers' staff, have opened the vacation season. The articles of incorporation of the Weiss-Spandikow Co., Maywood, have been amended, changing the name to Premier Rose Gardens, Inc. Paul Weiss continues at the head of the institution. The two big Lord & Burnham houses, doubling the capacity of the place, are completed and planted. George C. Weiland, Fred Stielow, Charles McCauley and Paul R. Kling- sporn, with their families in their cars, drove to Crystal Lake June 27, for a basket picnic and for the inspection of the old and new greenhouses of Frank Schramm, whence are coming Mrs. Russell roses which last week whole- saled for as much as 50 cents per flower.

He covered Europe with a thoroughness not often equaled by horticultural trades' repre- sentatives. His tour included France, Belgium, Germany, Holland and Eng- land and in each country he visited all the principal trade centers. He has many interesting tales to tell of condi- tions over there.

Gladioli are just beginning to come into bloom. Strange to say, those that were left in the ground all winter are not blooming so early as those that were planted after the weather had become settled this spring. The same thing seems to be true of dahlias this season. Carnations have held on later than usual this summer. They are practically gone now, however. Lilies are in fair supply. Sweet peas are still plentiful and of good quality and roses are in good supply and of excellent quality. Valley is appearing again in a small way. A good many perennials are being used in design work and in similar ways, but for some reason this type of flowers has^never proved popular with the public for other uses. Various Notes. June 17 Miss Marian Alice Joy was married to Richard Farnsworth Castner. The ceremony was performed at the Joy home, adjoining the Joy green- houses. The rector of St. Ann's Epis- copal church officiated. The wedding was a quiet affair, attended only by a few relatives of the two families and a few close friends. The decorations con- sisted of an altar of ferns and palms, interspersed with stands of lilies and Hanked with cathedral candelabra. Quantities of lilies and Columbia roses were used in decorating the room, as well as the rest of the house. The bride 's bouquet was a shower of valley. After the ceremony an informal recep- tion was given. That evening the bride and groom left for Chicago on their wedding tour, after which they will go to River Falls, N. D., where they are to reside. Miss Joy is a daughter of the late T. C. Joy and a sister of T. H. and Harold Joy, the present active heads of the Joy Floral Co. Since moving their store to the new location, Haury & Sons report that busi- ness has increased over twenty-five per cent. They are rebuilding their benches and giving their greenhouses a general overhauling this summer. Charles Tritschler is still doing a good business selling pot and bedding plants. He cleaned up his general stock, but found it necessary to crowd along all the late propagated stock he could get into shape for sales that just will not let up.

Until this week there has been plenty of stock of all kinds on the market, but this week found stock rather scarce, especially wedding flowers, such as white roses and lilies of the valley, which have been scarce. The supply was not nearly enough to take care of the big demand. Peonies are just about over and there are few in storage this year. Gladioli seem to be coming in slowly this season, as only a few have made their appearance. Lark- spur is arriving, good in quality as well as quantity. Bachelor's buttons are gradually disappearing. Coreopsis and other outdoor flowers are making their debut. Water lilies are coming in regu- larly at present and have been cleaning up fairly well, but have not been bring- ing the price they should. Various Notes. A. J.

Mr. Felton has a nephew, C. E. Felton, who has done credit to the name in flower selling at Buffalo, where he has operated two stores for five years. Felton 's for Flowers is incorporated un- der the laws of Ohio with $250,000 au- thorized capital stock. It is the pur- pose to engage in the retail end of the florists' business in a more or less ex- tensive way through the operation of a chain of stores. The general office is at 300 Erie building and the plans have progressed so satisfactorily that a third store has been acquired through the pur- chase of Paul C. Hahn's place at 10515 Superior street, carrying with it a mem- bership in the F. T. D. The two other stores are at 8510 Hough avenue and 12505 St. Clair avenue. The United Floral & Nurseries Co., which advertised ambitious plans from offices in the Hippodrome building, may now be found at 7514 Lexington avenue. "Jack" Keck is still at the helm. Westman & Getz will welcome the quiet of July, trusting that it will bring a breathing spell after the rush of June weddings. Miss Dorothy Baley, who has been associated with this firm for the last eight years, sailed for England with her mother June 26. They will make an indefinite stay, visiting friends and relatives.

After fortifying himself with defini- tions, he showed, with abund.'int illus- tr.atioii, tlie need of having definite coniinon names, ;is well as definite scientific, names, ''to make buying easier," and described the plans and the jiresent achievements of the Aincri- c;in joint committee. Copies of the 1920 prospectus of tlu! oflicial catalogue of plant names wcro provided for inspec- tion by the members of the association. Mr. McFarland said that the oflicial catalogue would be conijileted by Octo- ber or November of this year and would be published by the end of the year, unless subvarietal names were added, in M'hich case u little more time would be required.

The association voted to continue the garden committee for another year, as a new committee to be appointed by the incoming jiresident. Cooperative Publicity. Publicity for the home garden move- nient was treated from another angle by J. li. Hamilton, of the J. K. Hamil- ton Advertising Agency, Chicago, who said that conferences with bankers and manufacturers in various parts of the country showed a strong desire for the spread of this movement, in order tliat more food might be raised and that more peo])le might gain that sense of stability which comes with an activ(> interest in land. He suggested a plan to raise a coiijierative advertising fund of $500,000 by levying an assessment of one-tenth of 1 cent per packet on seed merchants an\er agen<"v might liave charge of the work.

Peacock Co., Chicago, suggested raising the money by putting a seal on each packet of seed sold, after the manner of the federal tax on toilet articles; this method, he thought, would simplify the bookkeeping problem, the burden of which was spoken of more than once.

Another interesting feature of Wednesday afternoon was the reading by L. L. Olds of the report of the com- mittee on experiment stations. Inter- esting suggestions contained in the re- plies from seventeen states — more had been received than were read — included the adoption by the American Seed Trade Association of a gentlemen's agreement to show on the label where the seeds were grown, the use of an order of crop rotation which would pre- vent plants bearing related diseases from following in direct succession, the regulation of interstate seed traffic by a federal seed law and the registration of seed fields coming up to a certain standard. Maryland reported satisfac- tion with its uniform seed law, in effect since October, 1918; New York's uni- form seed law becomes effective July 1, 1920, and Massachusetts, with New Eng- land pride, reported that it had no seed law because there was no demand for it from anyone. A further feature of that afternoon session was the reading by George Edler, of the bureau of markets of the United States Department of Agricul- ture, Washington, D. C, of the paper on "The Fine Turf Grasses, with Spe- cial Reference to the Seed Supply," by E. A. Oakley, of the Department of BULBS C. J. SPEELHAN & SONS, 470 Greenwich Street, New York City FSTABLISHED 1868 Agriculture, Washington, who was un- able to be present. . This paper con- sidered the different varieties in detail, particularly the fine bents and the chief varieties of red fescue, stating that these were decidedly short in supply. Bermuda grass and redtop were recom- mended for use in the south. Little M. Veldhoyzen Van Zanten & Sons EstabUshed 1870.

Mr. Edler said that there had been no seed surveys since July 1, 1919, when the authority for their issuance expired, but that various reports of a similar nature had been issued since then.
