The Weekly Florists' Review. Christmas Stock. Every florist is now tliinking more or less about Christmas. It is good to think, but go slow on buying unless it be to secure some extra fine and scarce stock. In the matter of holly, etc., you have lots of time; 'tis better to wait and get the best than to rush and regret. The question of a cheap pot cover is a very serious one to the plant trade; ordinary baskets come high, crepe paper gets mussed or wet and is often worse than nothing. In the in- terest of our readers we are always on the search, and down in the whole- sale fruit market the other day we discovered what could be made the cheapest and a pretty cover. These were pot-shaped spill-baskets made for tomatoes or fruit; they are of all sizes and can be bought for from $3 per 100 up; of course they need to be painted, but that is a small item; for about 5 or 7 cents It is possible to get u . a very pretty 6 or S-inch cover. Of course there is, and will continue to be. a limited demand for fancy bas- ket pot covers, but a stock of them comes high and the majority of peo- ple won't stand for it. Make all you can on your flowers and plants, the customer is willing to pay for them but not often for baskets. (lood, showy flowering plants will lie popular this Christmas. Pans of dwarf poinsettias dressed with well berried holly and tied with a band of silk ribbon to match will be a quick seller. Speaking of poinsettias, there will be lots of them used at Christmas. Get the best; they ought to bring a good price. Cut flowers promise to be scarce next month; the weather has been against greenhouse crops for the great event. Berries were never so plentiful, and holly should be better than ever. We expect some shippers of wild smilax to ship their material in match boxes soon; there's less and less in their cases every year. It is early yet to see what we are going to get from Europe, but we will keep you posted on all that's good and novel in due time. The palm and general decorative plant trade in and around New York is very good and promises to be a record breaker. Much of the trade at present is due to refilling house con- servatories and general home decora- tions, but everything points to our having a fine season's trade. We are pleased to note that exterior winter decorations of shrubs are more in style than ever, though many of those seen are badly arranged and some of the conifers are too tender for northern winters. Such a grand season for outdoor planting of trees, shrubs and herbace- ous plants has never been known. If you have any of this work to do push it on at once. Don't forget the good, showy flowers; plant some around' your place for show, and remember a shape- ly tree or shrub is a standing adv. for you. Sell off or throw away whatever is rubbishy in greenhouse stock. Noth- ing but the very best is the magnet for trade. We notice that many small growers around the large cities have been doing quite a lot of wedding decorations this season. That is good, but to this sec- tion of our readers we would say don't undersell your city friend. It is not always the quantity of material you put in a house that counts, it's rather the way you arrange it. Here's a subject every florist should know, some of them do; it's the value of a servant's friendship. There are but a few in this world who wear crowns but there's a vast army who'd like to, and whew, what a place this earth would be if the thin garb of in- solent arrogancy could hide the chunks of low stupidity. There are many in our business who deserve all the credit due to those who succeed, but few wish to remember the narrow, slippery planks they once walked; this all bears on our subject. There is no one with whom the florists deal that has more power or influence than the servant in the mansions of the wealthy, and what do they get in return? Let us look at the matter more clearly; you have a decoration in the house and want lad- ders, sheets, and lots of things, and you imagine these people are there to wait on you. You are late, or make a mess and allow them no time to clean. Perhaps you have a dinner decoration ; you've been busy and are late, you know • the result; or maybe you want to collect a bill. Perhaps the butler or housekeeper can order where he or she pleases. Yes, it's a serious matter any way you look at it. These people can make it warm or pleasant for you, and they deserve re- spect and (consideration. A small plant, a few flowers, yes, a fair commission should be given them; you have to throw much more away on desperate ami futile attempts to win trade. Live and let live. IVERA. FLOWERS AT THE VICE-PRESI- DENT'S FUNERAL. .1. H. Small cS: Sons, of Washington and New York, had charge of the flow- ers and decorations for the funeral of the late Garret A, Hobart, vice-presi- dent of the United States, who was laid to rest at Paterson, N. .J., Nov. 25. Your readers will have seen de- tails of the funeral in the great dailies, it is only our province to inform them of the flowers, which were many and very beautiful. Over one hundred de- signs were sent from all over the coun- try, and they were of such a size and quality that makes it safe to say there were never so many flowers seen at a funeral in this part of the country be- fore. In our capacity as representative of The Florists' Review we were given special privilege to examine the floral tokens of respect, and though many of them had been sent from long dis- tances and had been "made up" for days, still they were all beautiful. Of course there were many grades of work there, and an occasion like this gives great opportunities for study (we would be almost tempted to say that a walk through some large cemetery would be a good chance for some flor- ists to learn the difference between good and bad work). But to return to our subject. Though there were a few designs such as floral chairs. Faith, Hope and Charity, etc.. which reminds you of the past, we noted with pleasure that the vast majority of the designs were wreaths and bunches. A well made standing cross of violets looked fine. Strange to say. there were few violets and chrysanthemums used in the work President McKinley sent a wreath of white carnations and orchids. There were two wreaths in which Golden Gate roses were the principal flowers — the rose is fine for this w-ork. An immense wreath of Asparagus Sprengeri and Dendrobium formosum giganteum we took to be the finest of all the work, though it was closely fol- lowed b.v a great double wreath of Cycas revoluta with a large cluster of mixed orchids. These wreaths were four and five feet in diameter and made a grand appearance. Three of the standing wreaths were over six feet in height and the same in diame- ter; they were of white and pink roses, the bases American Beauties. One of these huge wreaths was made to rep- resent or signify "from childhood to The Weekly Florists^ Review. NOVEMBER 30, 1899. old age." Pansies and spring flowers were followed by roses and violets and so on until a sheaf of wheat and oak leaves finished the circle; it was a good piece of work, full of beautiful sentiment in which art and love were blended together. Another flat wreath was composed of white camellias and Dendrobium for- mosum. There were not very many cattleyas used, but there was a vast quantity of cypripediums and Dendro- tjium phalaenopsis. A large bunch of Papa Gontiers was an unusual sight, and then there were Beauties by the hundreds. You've seen the pancake wreaths of twenty years ago? Well, they were to be seen here, and what a contrast they were to the well made wreaths of today. The designs completely filled the large receiving vault in which the body rests for the present. The exterior of the vault was prettily covered with evergreens. Thousands lined the roads, but never a word was heard, the rustle of falling leaves and the sighing of an avenue of tall weeping willows, the wreath-covered casket, and behind the president his cabinet and the leaders of the country. It was a picture not soon to be forgotten. A poor boy, a great man, the end of all. The decorations of the church where the services were held were very beau- tiful. Wm. Trumpore, of Small's, had charge of all the work at Paterson. The walls of the church were delicate- ly draped with southern smllax, the window sills were filled with white chrysanthemums and ferns, tall kent- ias were banked along in front of the altar, the pots of which were hidden with great clusters of white mums. The tone colors of the entire decora- tion were white and green, except in one feature, the baptismal font, which stood at the head of the casket; this font was filled with 150 large Ameri- can Beauties. The whole of the deco- rations showed excellent taste and were greatly admired. IVERA. Stock for Christmas. There is always an inclination comes over you to bring in a lot of tulips and perhaps Dutch hyacinths with the view of having them for the holidays. Don't do it. They want a great heat, are consequently terribly forced and un- satisfactory. And if you do succeed in getting a 6-inch stem to them they will only sell after carnations, roses and other better flowers cannot be had. Don't bring in any tulips till New Year's. By that time they will be well rooted and in three weeks you will have good flowers. The paper white narcissus Is a most useful flower for Christmas. If you brought them in in good time to bring them along cool they will be all the better. In a cool house and fully de- veloped is the way to have the paper white. Romans force so easily that good spikes have been picked several weeks ago, but I never knew them to be with us too plentiful; and what the small grower is apt to forget is that you want a good supply for days after Christmas. If this bulbous .stuff pays any lime at all it is when there is a great demand for all flowers. There is no need up to date of any covering of the soil under which are the flats of tulips and Von Sion bulbs. Supposing the surface of the flats have three inches of soil or asheg on them, which is plenty, then leave it uncov- ered to get the full benefits of the rains till severe frost comes. It is all the better to have a little frost enter the soil, and then it is a clean job to put on three or four inches of stable litter or leaves if you can keep the leaves from blowing away. I like to have the Dutch hyacinths in pots in a frame and in addition to the covering of soil, ashes or tan bark and the manure, covered with sash. Hard freezing may not injure the bulbs, but they are just as well jiot frozen, and much more convenient to get at. And you won't have a lot of broken pots and pans, which, however much they may gladden the eye of the thrifty pot maker, make serious inroads into your exchequer. Somebody, perhaps every- body, wonders where the pins all go. Florists can wonder where all the pots go. We expect the same good plant trade at Christmas that has marked this joy- ous season for several years past, and perhaps a still greater one. You should supply yourself with salable sizes of palms, dracaenas, araucarias, Boston fern, pandanus and rubbers. You are sure to want them and tele- graphing for them at Christmas time is not satisfactory; you get what is left. We make the poinsettia a leading Christmas plant and people buy them then as they do a lily at Easter, but not quite in the same quantity. We have them now in a temperature of 65 at night and their bracts are spread- ing out to a foot across. Keep their heads syringed or they will get infest- ed with mealy bug; and greenfly Is very troublesome to them in the dark, close days, but that is easily prevented either by fumigating or vaporizing tobacco. The latter plan I like much better than the fumigating because it does not hurt nor even slightly check the tenderest growth. We often plain- ly see the injurious effects of tobacco smoke, then how much oftener occurs that which is not so plainly visible. The poinsettia is no longer handsome when its fine leaves are drooping and yellow. This arises from two causes, low temperature and impoverishment of the soil. Sixty to 65 degrees will do for the lowest temperature and liquid manure will do the rest. You cannot shift them after the middle of Octo- ber and an unwieldy sized pot is out of the question for a commercial man. And as they are strong rooters they get exhausted and must have some liquid. Azaleas have become one of our leading flowering plants. The plants that you have grown over summer force the best, but the newly imported plants can be had in for Christmas if proper treatment and proper selection of varieties is made. Deutsche Perle is of course the white; Vervaeneana is the beautiful variegated pink; and Si- mon Mardner the fine double red. They want aliundance of water at the roots, syringing twice a day till the flower is expanded, and a good strong heat. If they must have it to open their flowers they will endure 70 degrees at night. While speaking of azaleas, how very different is the treatment of those you want in flower at Easter. If we get a mild winter and Easter is late (this year it is the middle of April) it is dif- ficult to keep some of the best varie- ties from being too early. So anything above freezing will do. But with all this low temperature you must keep them moist at the root and give an oc- casional syringing. It is not so easy to get the imported lilacs in flower by the holidays, but if you can give them a steady heat of 90 and plenty of syringing you can do it in about three weeks. After New Year's they force easily and a few should be brought in every week. WM. SCOTT. NEW CRIMSON MUM, We present herewith a life size en- graving of the new crimson chrysan- themum, Malcolm Lamond, which we mentioned in our issue of Nov. 9, and which Mr. .lohn Thorpe pronounced the best crimson since tJ. W. Childs. The variety originated with Mr. .lames Niven. of the Thermal Vale Nursery, Oakland. Cal.. and is the re- sult of a cross between G. W. Childs and an unnamed seedling. The fact that blooms traveled across the con- tinent and arrived in good condition NOVKMBER 'M, 1S9S. The Weekly Florists^ Review^ New Crimson Chrysanthe.num Malcolm Limoi.d. certainly speaks well for their staying qualities. The variety is now in its second year, and habit and stem have proved very satisfactory. It promises to be an excellent commercial crimson sort. WHERE ARE WE AT? Noticing the articles in several re- cent issues regarding growers, com- mission men, buyers, etc., tempts me to write a few lines in response. It appears the most important part of the argument lies in the fact that nearly all other lines are enjoying the wave of prosperity and the florist is not getting his share of the general advance in prices. Much is to be considered in connec- tion with this subject. We are not recognized in the commercial world as an important factor. We stand alone as an entirely separate institu- tion in our own clah-s. While there is a continual clamor for stock and ma- terial in other lines now we must humbly wait until some social func- tion or death call upon us for our products. The good times of old when anything and everything in the shape of a flower sold at a good living price are not with us now and there may be some truth in the assertion that our production is now somewhat in excess of demand. The growers claim their expenses are higher and their returns less. Much of the discontent of the grower, however, lies in him- self. The most prosperous grower is one who takes a few moments' time to study the market at frequent inter- vals. Most growers ship in their stock promiscuously regardless of grade and then make an estimate on the quantity they shipped and what it ought to bring. Figuring this way they will find returns usually below their estimates. If stock was properly graded in Ists, 2nds and 3rds it would save considerable rehandling and also the depreciation in the count of the grower and commission man, and re- turns would be the prevailing market prices according to grade. While it is difflcult to maintain prices at times when stock is plentiful, still much may be due to low prices at such times by the commission man endeavoring The Weekly Florists' Review, NOVEMBER 30. 1S99. to get the other fellow's customer at the grower's expense. The fakir also comes in for his share in recent discussions. He now stands side by side with the aristocratic buy- er at the commission man's counter. As he is apparently here to stay he must be recognized. As the grower's stock varies from good to bad through- out the season he at all times expects the commission man to look out for his interests and the only recourse is the fakir when the stock is off. While the fakir consumes an enormous lot of stock which probably would otherwise be lost, still he ought to be kept in his place. The wholesaler should keep him where he belongs by only selling him such stock as no respect- able dealer would sell. In this way it would leave an argument for the florist to his customers in the differ- ence of his stock and the fakirs' should it be necessary. If we give the fakir an equal chance with the. aris- tocratic buyer, then soon everything will be Greek to us. The assumption that the world owes us a living may contain some truth, but with the pres- ent state of affairs we'll be owing the world to live. CHARLIE'S UNCLE. ROSE NOTES. There is one thing connected with cutting that I neglected to mention in my last; it is the implement with which the operation is performed. Some growers prefer a knife, others shears. I am partial to a pair of small shears, as I think the bloom can be severed from the plant without the amount of pulling that will occur with a knife unless great care be taken. There are a number of kinds of shears in the market that hold the bloom after cutting. I have tried some of them, but have not found any thoroughly successful. Whatever is used, knife or shears, see that it is very keen and keep it so at all times. The next thing to be considered is a suitable place to keep the cut blooms until they are marketed. The best place to keep the cut blooms is a cool, clean, well ventilated cellar where nothing else save flowers is kept. Of course on the large pla-jes there should be an ice house with regular cooling rooms, and these, with the ordinary cellar of the small place, should be fitted up so the work of caring for the blooms can be properly done. There should be a room attached where the sorting and packing is done. In it should be a commodious table on which to grade up the blooms, with waste boxes for the reception of all bad petals and leaves that may be picked off, drawers for keeping various articles required in packing, plenty of boxes of the proper shape and sizes for the different stock to be shipped, rolls of paper of convenient size as experi- ence shows is best suited to your needs. The cellar should be kept scrur-u- lously clean and be supplied with water and perfect drainage. An abun- dance of vases of various sizes should always be at hand, and these should be given a thorough washing frequently as they soon become slimy. The water should be changed every day. In set- ting the vases of flowers in the cellar arrange them so those that have to be taken out first are in the front so there will be no brushing against those that are to remain longer. A. O. T. THRIPS ON ROSES. How can I rid my roses of thrips? They disfigure the buds so they are unfit to sell. When the buds open I find from one to a dozen of these in- sects in each. W. H. W. If W. H. W. will fumigate every night for a couple of weeks I think he will rid his houges of thrips. Fumi- gate one night with tobacco stems and the next night with ground red pep- per. A handful of the red pepper sprinkled over a shovelful of red hot coals will be enough for a house 100 to-l.')0 feet long and 25 feet wide. The shovel should be carried behind you through the house to avoid in- haling the fumes. A. O. T. ART AT FLOWER SHOWS. Editor Florists' Review: In your current issue we note with interest and amusement some of the observa- tions by Ivera upon "art at flower shows." Your correspondent has di- lated with his usual eloquence upon several well timed topics, subjects that deserve our earnest consideration. Re- garding the grouping of plants at flower shows your correspondent speaks very ably, but right here I would like to say somewhat in defense of the exhibitor. The cone-shaped mound has become a stereotyped figure, but is this entire- ly the fault of the exhibitor? We have attended a good many flower shows and have also erected mounds at sev- eral, but that was not always our fault. On entering the show room with our plants we have, without exception, been shown the circle, or semi-circle, in which we had to artistically arrange our exhibit. Now, sir, it may be pos- sible to artistically dress a pig, but really when one has to arrange plants — which in themselves are five or six feet high — in a circle, how is it possi- ble to do this so that each flower can be seen if they be not somewhat ele- vated in the center? By the by, artistic arrangement is very seldom called for where a group of chrysanthemums are concerned, the reading of the schedule visually being: "For best group of chrysanthemums to cover so many feet." We therefore arrange our groups so that the best side of the flower will catch the judge's eye; this is the growers' lookout; qual- ity in flower, stem and foliage being all that is usually called for, and with all due deference to Ivera I think it is the grower and not the artist that is the best judge in this case. But I would like to see reform and 1 think societies are wrong in confining exhib- itors to circles and semi-circles; ex- hibitors ought to be allowed to choose the form that suits their tastes. Regarding "the carriage house re- hearsal," we can with wonderful accu- racy read between the Hues, and in our several attempts at mound building, though we may have gained little of artistic knowledge, we have learned at least one thing: to try the thing at home first. We very vividly recall a ride of thirty miles on a very cold morning some time ago, on a wagon containing the material for a mound which had not previously been re- hearsed, and to our dismay we found before we were finished that all our artistic skill could not stretch our quantity to cover the desired space. It is a very simple arithmetical problem to tell the quantity of square bricks that are required for a certain number of feet, but when we are dealing with a miscellaneous collection of 6, 7, S and 9-inch pots, with one, two or three flowers each, the case is somewhat dif- ferent, and I say again, with some ex- perience and former vexation: "Let us rehearse by all means. In the carriage house, if need be." THE NOVICE. CHRYSANTHEMUM SOCIETY OF AMERICA. As has been announced, Saturday was the last date for regular meetings of the C. S. A. committees.

ELMER D. SMITH, Sec'y. NEW YORK. It is a pleasure to once in a while report good trade and much brighter prospects. Wall street is the financial pulse of the country, and New York, floriculturally speaking, is the main spring of trade on this continent. Some there are to be sure who still com- plaiii, aye, will die complaining, but nevertheless business is good and will be better. Cut flower crops have short- ened up somewhat, but 'tis better now than later on. Chrysanthemums are on the wane, but other and more valua- ble flowers are coming in. We have met several large plant growers who say this, so far, is the best season they ever had. Extra fine decorative stock is not very plentiful and the season has not properly com- menced yet. No, there are no dukes or princesses going to be married here this year, but it is a fact that such folks do not always spend the most money for decorations; their glory originates in the newspapers. There is enough of prosperity to guarantee a vast amount of money being spent for flowers, so stir yourself and catch your share. As for new stores and stands in New York, don't mention it. Every time you ride up an avenue you may notice a new florist. This is particularly the case with Columbus avenue. At Sev- enty-second street we see Giatras has taken in another store; this will make his perhaps the largest florist's store in the city. We wonder whose money this is. You remember the terrible failure there a year ago? All the lead- ing tradespeople lost money and yet, and yet, they are able to continue and enlarge. We are informed that a new concern will shortly open at Seventy-fourth street and Columbus avenue; there must be good trade on the West Side. Though very little greenhouse stock is seen in the auction rooms these days, still business is very good there and vast quantities of nursery stock are disposed of at fair prices. We very much regret to have to re- port that Mrs. liurns, wife of Alex. S. Burns, of Woodside, is dangerously ill with pneumonia. The daily papers have been giving us startling accounts of fatal accidents and other misfortunes to Mr. R. L. Cottonct, proprietor of the Rosary Flower Co. It is true that Mr. Cotto- net received a shake up on the hunt- ing grounds at Westbury. but he is all right again and we are glad of it, for whatever else may be connected with that concern he at least is a perfect gentleman. A call from the city prevented our reporting the last meeting of the New York Gardeners' Society, which was held at the Grand Central Palace, Nov. IS. The Florists' Review prize, Scott's Florists' Manual, was awarded to Wni. Scott, president of the society, for a display of thirty varieties of chrysan- themums. Charles Webber and A. Wel- sing also made interesting exhibits, which were certificated. The nomina- tion of officers took place at this meet- ing, but we'll tell you who's elected. We're all peaceful here; nobody's been kilt lately, and for scandal we're no school. They who try to be authorities on prices are only joking; such a thing is impossible in New York, and to pre- vent indignation meetings in our rural districts we avoid the subject imless once in a while. But what we would like to say is this, that much of the finest stock coming into New York at present can be seen at Thomas Young's, and it will be there till long after the holidays. There were some strange faces up at the bowling alleys Monday night. It's funny how long it takes some folks to get around. Here are the scores: p. O'Mara 14G 12S 130 W. Miirshall 128 ISO 147 H.

It is rumored that the Greeks are go- ing to open a wholesale cut flower house in this city. They intend to buy direct from the growers, making yearly contracts with them. We be- lieve this will have a decided effect on some of our wholesalers from the fact that the Greek will be satisfied to do business on a smaller margin. No doubt they will do a big business with the street fakir. Visitors. Our visitors this week were: Mar- shall Clark, New York; Julius Roehrs, Carlton Hill, N. J.; Samuel Feast, Bal- timore; C. L. Dole, Lockport, N. Y.; F. A. Fairbrother, Providence, R. I., and W. C. Krick, Brooklyn, N. Y. R. ST. LOUIS. The Market. There has been no marked change in the condition of the market since last reports. Chrysanthemums have short- ened up and better prices are obtained for roses and carnations. There is no overstock of anything just now and the chances are that prices for Thanksgiving week will go up to $6 and $8 per 100 for Brides, Me- teors, Carnots and Bridesmaids; that is, for first class stock, with seconds from $3 to $5. Perles and Woottons, $5 to $6, and scarce at that. First class stock in American Beauties is also very scarce and price will go up as high as $G per dozen. Short stemmed stock is now selling from $8 to $12.50. Carnations have taken a jump and fancy stock is selling from $3 to $4; common from $2 to $2.50. They were quite plentiful last week, but are now sold out clean. Good red very scarce. Scotts, Daybreak and any kind of white are fine and sell well. Violets are not over-plentiful now and Californias bring $1 per 100 this (Monday) morning; small singles, 50 cents. Bulb stock has also taken a slight jump. Romans sell at $4; paper whites, $4, and fine valley brings $5. Very few are sold at $4. Smilax has had a" good call and sells at $12.50. It is fine and not over-plentiful. Club Meeting. The next meeting of the club will be a very important one and it is the duty of every member to be present and hear the report, made by the ex- hibition committee, on the late show, which was a failure financially. The trustees report that two essays will be read by two of our largest exhibit ors at the show. One by Carl Beyer, on "How to Grow Plants for Exhibi- tions." and the other by Emil Schray. on "How to Grow Exhibition Cut Blooms." As both were very success- ful in taking firsts at our late show President Ammann says that he wants every member present without fail. The meeting will be called promptly at 3 o'clock on Thursday, Dec. 14. 8 The Weekly Florists' Review- NOVEMBER 30, 189D. The chances are that the upxt exhi- bition hy the club will be a prize fight. This -will probably draw better than flowers. Stranger things than that have happened. Notes. The Junior Florists' Bowling Club have moved to the new regulation al- leys opposite the court house and will roll regularly every Tuesday night. The match game between them and the older club comes off within two weeks. A prize will be given the win- ning team. The Juniors claim that they are rolling good enough now and that they need no handicap. Great in- terest is taken in this match by friends of both clubs. Bowling. The Bowling Club received a chal- lenge from the Junior Bowling Club to roll a match game on Monday night, Dec. 4, at the Court House alleys, which was accepted. Three best games out of five, the losing club to pay all expenses of the evening. The Juniors are putting up some very stiff games and some good ones may be looked for. The scores on Monday night were as follows: 1st. 2d. 3a. 4th. Tot.Av. C \ Kuehn 175 153 1.S4 169 6S1 170 j' J. Beneke 136 152 121 197 606 151 C C Sanders 135 116 161 109 524 131 J.'W.

All the prominent cities except In- dianapolis have had shows this year, but we didn't have the nerve to give one this year. Some of our members are superstitious— this would have been our 13th. But we did have a little show among ourselves, so to speak, and the flowers that were shown at the exhibit at the State House were hard to beat. Fol- lowing are the awards: Six market plants: First, John Huk- riede. Six single stems: First, H. W. Rie- man. Cut blooms, six white: First, J. Hartje with Robinson; second, Stuart & Haugh, Anderson. Ind. Cut blooms, six pink: First, H. W. Rieraan with Helen Bloodgood; second, B. Hukriede & Sons. Cut bloom.s. six yellow: First, F. Conway with Bonnaffon; second. H. W. Rieman. Cut blooms, six red: First, H. W. Rieman with Nyanza. Six varieties, six blooms each: First, Bertermann Floral Company; second, H. W. Rieman. E. G. Hill & Co. received a certificate for the new carnation Ethel Crocker and honorable mention for carnations America and Indiana. Bertermann Floral Company and H. W. Rieman received honorable mention for display of mums, and Stuart & Haugh for general display. After the premiums were awarded the premium blooms were sold at auc- tion, the mums going rather cheap, while the carnations brought a good price. At the meeting held in connection with the show the question in regard to holding a show next year came up, and from the favorable comments heard we shall undoubtedly have an exhibit next year. Although our small show was a success, it was not as in former years, for the happy faces of Mr. Giesy, Harry Balsley, Mr. Bock and the Cincinnati delegation were miss- ing. Various Notes. The Bertermann Floral Company held an opening at their store on Tues- day, November 14, and the society was invited, after the meeting, to inspect the display. The opinion of everyone present is that the window display and the decorations in the store and show house were grand. Junge & Sonnenschmidt have some- what Americanized their name and will hereafter be known as the Smith, Young Company, and it becomes them, as in their ideas they are always Amer- icans. Bert Stanley, formerly with the Fair- bank summer resort, has opened a cut flower store at 941 Fort Wayne ave- nue. His many friends wish him suc- cess in his new venture. E. Hukriede & Son have a sport from Modesto that gives promise of being a fine one. It is a very full flower, deep golden yellow, reflexed and is ad- mired bv all who have seen it. FRED. CHICAGO. The Market. Short supply, enormous demand, prices at top notch. That's the condi- tion of affairs. The only items in fair- ly suiBcient supply are chrysanthe- mums and paper white narcissus. It is the greatest shortage ever known for Thanksgiving. The rose orders were probably not more than 50 per cent, filled, carnations about t;o per cent. This is the condition that pre- vailed in the midst of the shipping de- mand. Practically all the plants are off crop, but the outlook for the holidays is cheering, as the majority should be in crop again by that time. 'Various Items. Mr. A. G. Prince is rejoicing over the arrival of a baby boy at his home in Downer's Grove last Sunday. Recent visitors: John N. May, Sum- mit, N. J.; E. G. Hill, Uichmond, Ind. At the regular mceting-of the Flor- ists' Club to be held tomorrow (Fri- day) evening there will be a discussion on the benefits of exhibitions to the trade. The boys have been too busy lately to indulge in bowling to any extent. McKellar & Winterson are showing a very attractive line of glass vases. BUFFALO. Nothing daunted l>y the failure of last year's undertaking, for which the elements were largely responsible, Wm. Scott this season gave a private exhibition of the Queen of Autumn, which was little behind in quantity and fully equal in quality to the fine show of last year. I was struck with the large number of made up pans, in which Ivory, Bon- naffon and Maude Dean were the lead- ing kinds for this purpose. Another success is a house of mignonette and part of a house of Asparagus Spren- geri planted in boxes ranging cross- wise of sufficient height to allow the strings to hang down and far enough apart to prevent crowding. Many other good things can be seen here. Mrs. D. S. Newlands has cut a heavy crop of chrysanthemums, blooms of Lincoln measuring 8 inches across, not a rare thing here. L. Canning is one of the best reflexed kinds. Glory of the Pacific was the best pink. Black Hawk would be hard to beat. W. J. Palmer & Son have kept up a bright and continuous exhibition. At time of my visit they had just com- pleted a superb wreath of violets and informed me that funeral work has kept them very busy. Adams, Anderson and Rebstock have all they can attend to at times, but business is spasmodic. At the wedding of the second daugh- ter of Mr. and Mrs. Mansfield, which interesting event took place at the home of the bride at Lockport on the 17th inst., the decorations were very elaborate, the handiwork of the lady members of the family. A bank and canopy of palms and chrysantheniun.s, center pieces of asparagus with Helen Bloodgood and The Queen. A mantel of ferns with a grand specimen of Cypripedium insigne Maulei as the centerpiece was most effective. ■WASHINGTON. Now that shows and mums aie nearly gone the florists have got right down to business. What few mums that are left have gone up in price from ?1 and $1.50 per doz. to $:3, and are going fast at that. Roses and carnations are scarce and good roses bring 8 and 10 csnts; car- nations, 2 and 3; Romans and paper whites go slowly at 2 and 3; violets are coming in fine and bring 50 and 75 cents per 100. From all Indications trade for Thanksgiving will be fine. There was quite a lot of fine funeral work made here and shipped to Pater- son, N. J., for the funeral of Vice- President Hobart. J. H. Small & Son turned their order for the occasion to tbeir New York store. J. H. Granor was presented with a fine young florist in the way of a bouncing boy. P. H. KRAMER. SAGINAW.

Editor Florists' Review: Allow me to say a few wortls in connection with the remarks of "Western Florist." That the florist trade does not more quickly get the benefits of improved business conditions is more the fault of the retailer than anything else. We cannot help noticing that some retail- ers having large, showy stores and all the advantages possible which should enable them to ask even fancy prices, adopt business methods which are not only discreditable to themselves but to the whole trade. It seems to me a very poor practice to ask a prospective customer top price tor certain goods and then sell it to the party at a much reduced rate before he leaves the store. Knowing as we do. that most buyers have no know- ledge at all of the real value of flowers it naturally gives the impression that the florist had been attempting to take advantage of the customer. This same impression is created by giving flow- ers to everyone who calls in to ask prices. All such practices are detri- mental to the best interests of that particular florist as well as those of the whole trade. There are many much better ways to gain popularity. It is a serious mistake to hastily sell a funeral piece at too low a price "be- cause my competitor would have got- ten the order," and then be in a posi- tion -where you cannot afford to give the customer satisfactory work. We are all entitled to higher prices, but only legitimate business methods will bring them to us. As long as there are those who try to get the whole earth by cutting prices there is not much chance. This is a subject that every Florists' Club should thor- oughly discuss, that some proper remedy may be devised. Detroit, Mich. FRANK DANZER OBITUARY. John Wood. On September 24th, Mr. .John Wood, of Kirkstall, Leeds, England, died after an illness of a few hours, aged fifty- seven years. To all readers of The Garden, Lon- don, his "Xotes on Hardy Plants" were well known, and his influence was perhaps even more felt through his "Hardy Plant Club," formed lor the distribution and exchange of hardy herbaceous and alpine plants. These means not only introduced to amateurs new species suited to their collections of alpine plants, but gave valuable cultural information. Mr. PITTSBURG GUT FLOWER GO., Ltd. WHOLESALE FLORISTS.

Wood had nearly reached middle life hefore he took up the culture of hardy plants, having, at the time of his death, been in this business about twenty-two years. He drifted into it late in life simply through the keen love he had for it and which has brought him more than average suc- cess. During his life he acquired a great knowledge of alpine plants and their treatment. }le has done a great work in creating and fostering a love for "wild plants," and had a notably fine collection of h.irdy .American peren- nials.

Last week I had a large church wed- ding to decorate for and had to use large palms extensively. I chartered two special cars to be at my place as near after midnight as the ordinary traffic was off the line. We had the cars loaded at 1 a. m. and were at the church, six miles distant, at 1:30; had everything unloaded and every one home before 2:30. We arranged the decorations during the day and at night the cars were at the church at the same time and we had everything unloaded at the greenhouses before 2 o'clock. There was not a single leaf broken nor any damage done to plants, although packed in very closely. Cars are fine things to pack large palms in, as so many can be packed in regard- less of size or weight. Detroit. S. TAPLTN. A NEW BEGONIA. The plant judges of the Pennsylva- nia Horticultural Society, Geo. A. Strohlein, Chester Davis and J. Wm. Colflesh, visited Chestnut Hill on Sat- urday, Nov. 18th, to see the pale pink sport from Gloire de Lorraine begonia at the greenhouses of Edwin Lonsdale. They carefully examined the sport growing beside the older variety and awarded the society's silver medal to the new comer. The judges believe this begonia to be a sport from Gloire de Lorraine, and consider it healthier and more vigorous than its supposed parent. The blooms are larger and of a very pleasing shade of pink. JOHN WELSH YOrXG. EVANSVILLE, IND.

The Weekly Florists^ Review, 27 Odds and Ends. New York floral artists have already commenced their Christmas displays. This week the Broadway windows are made gloriously lirilliant with great masses ot poinsettias. As we stated last week great quantities of these flowers have been grown this season and they promise to be the leading feature in all forms of decorative work this Christmas. The color is grand, but be careful what is near. If you use them in your window no other flowers should be there. A fringe of Farleyenf e or cuneatuin or a frame of holly, mistletoe or light colored as- paragus will set them off to best ad- vantage. Poinsettias last Christmas retailed cut at 50 to 75 cents, on the plant at $1 each flower. They may be cheaper this year, but we see no good reason why they should. People are willing to pay a good price for well grown stock, but of course some folks seem to live only to cut prices, and we have to stoop to recognize their acts once in a while. Holly festoons have appeared in the windows. The quality is nothing ex- tra, and perhaps it's just a little pre- mature to use it so soon; people get tired of looking at the same thing for almost a month; wait till you get an extra fine case and then put it where and how it will show up best. Al- though we believe every window dress- er should show his best all the time, the window from two weeks before Christma.s should exhibit his greatest skill. Mind you. it isn't always quan- tity that tells, it's beauty and adapt- ability which usually commands the most attention. You will notice how the dry goods houses make special dis- plays and draw the greatest crowds where dolls and knick-knacks are shown, but there is a large class who will not notice such a window but will stand where the mantles and bonnets are. Some of you will probably have wat- erfalls and rocky scenery in your win- dows and the crowd will stand to ad- mire, but the class whose money you want like to see something they can purchase. We notice with pleasure the appearance of some very fine baskets of flowers in the Broadwav windows lately. Yesterday Thorley showed an immense basket of Lilium Harrisii, Thehigh handle was trimmed with light blue ribbon. The effect was very good; keep it in mind for Easter. Small's arranged a pretty basket with light Adiantum gracillimum and Cypripe- diura insigne, large bows of green gauze ribbon on side and top of bas- ket handle; it looked light and dainty. Stumpp has a very artistically ar- ranged window of Japanese trained trees. Some of the florists are making dis- plays of white porcelain swans. They may come into favor again this sea- son, having been out of the market for many years; they were all the rage eight or ten years ago. and don't look bacf if made up properly and arranged on fringed mirrors, but dry goods fake- um company are selling them filled with ferns for a few cents. }'y the way, the New York Herald is hammering the municipal authorities for permitting street fakirs to build florists' shops under elevated railroad steps and paying no rent for same. We second the motion. Any element in- jurious to the retailer who pays high and is an American citizen can get no sympathy from us; drive the pests into some other and more suitable line. Whilst we are discussing street ven- ders, we have seen many changes among them in New York the past fif- teen years. Then they were Jews, eight or ten years ago a company of girls was started and an occasional Frenchman crept in. then suddenly the Greeks came and captured Manhattan Isle; their dirtv paws maul its roses still. An interesting letter from Mexico tells us that fiowers such as roses, lil- ies, violets, etc., can be had in abun- dance all the year around. The prin- cipal market is around the Cathedral in the City of Mexico. The flowers are very artistically arranged in loose bunches and are sold for 25 cents per bunch; $1 will fill many vases with fine flowers. A great many flowers are used at funerals, the caskets usually being covered with them. Wreaths are the most popular design; a 24-inch pansy wreath can often be had for $1. The floral artists and retailers in the City of Mexico are boys and men; in several other cities, however, notably Guadalaxara, little girls sell the flow- ers on the streets; they have no set price, anyone buying a buttonhole or cluster pays what he or she wishes. Though certain native fancies are largely used in most of the work, still much of it is very beautiful. We hope soon to be able to give you illustra- tions of floral art from every country, and you will not be ashamed of our own. Velvet ribbons are costly. Init they are being used by a few of the florists. Violets are tied with velvet ribbon; with fringes some of them look dressy. Velvet ribbon is excellent for extra fine flowers only. If you can get the right shade of color it makes cattleyas, etc., look very fine. We don't care for the fringe; there's too much of the dressed dollism about it, but there is a luster and richness about these new ribbons which, if properly used, will add much to your work. All grades of self-colored ribbons are advancing in price; at one time this season there were over $20,000,000 worth of ribbons in stock among the New York dealers; they have stopped the manufacture of many brands. What a revolution there has been in the basket trade the past decade or two. First they were made of wheat and spills, then rushes, afterwards wil- low, and again celluloid, then raffia. Now our finest baskets are gems of art and are made of green luffa with var- nished palm stalks for embellishment. They look fine in the window and one or two will make your store look bet- ter, but beware of the customer who wants your best one filled for a few dollars. Remember cards and envelopes are small items, but they are mighty im- portant. Get the best quality you can and have them neatly placed on the de.5k intended for customers to write on. Most florists are busy now fixing up the red immortelle stars they made in summer months, or are working nights making new ones. There's going to be lots of them used in wreaths this year; have them well made and use the ber- ry red immortelle; it is a better color than the ordinary red. I.,uffia stars are no good; they spoil the cheapest wreath. If you want extra fine wreaths you must make them up yourself. Some fairly good ones can be had on the market; they're all right for cheap trade, but you will sell lots of the bet- ter ones if you show them to advan- tage. Ardisias are fine around New York this time; with red or green pot covers and a bit of berry red ribbon, they promise to be good sellers. If you are foolish enough to harbor any trash around your place, throw it out of sight for the present and let nothing be seen but good, salable stock. Pyramid shaped box trees have be- come quite popular for exterior deco- ration in New York. IVBBA. 28 The Weekly Florists' Review. DEXDEMBBR 7. 1899. CHRYSANTHEMUM RUST. Through the courtesy of Prof. By- ron D. Halsted, of the New Jersey Agricultural Experiment Station, we have received his circulars with de- scription of and possible remedy for the chrysanthemum rust. How widely this circular has been distributed we are not aware, but it is timely and val- uable, and the kind of fruit that it is pleasing to see our experiment sta- tions produce. The exact species of fungus that pro- duces the rust is not determined, nor is it of great consequence to us how long and crooked its name if we can only fight it successfully. Prof. Hal- sted says that it first came to his no- tice in October, 1S97. We are sorry to say that we have been troubled with it at least six years. We fii-st thought it was encouraged by a close and rather dark house, and are not sure yet but what that aggravated the trouble. Still when Golden Wedding was tried the following year in a par- ticularly light house with abundance of ventilation, the rust again appeared and ruined the crop. We have noticed it on several varie- ties, while on some, notably Ivory, in the ?ame house we have never seen a sign of it. We have seen it de.<;troy a batch of Philadelphia, while by a clear- ly defined line the variety next to it was left unharmed. The bronzed appearance of the un- der part of the leaf and its tendency to crack instead of bend is a very sure evidence of the rust. IJke the carna- tion rust, which has largely disap- peared even on Davbreak, a variety that was during the epidemic the worst infested, it appears to be al- ready passing away, for this year on the same place among twenty-five va- rieties, we only noticed it on a few Golden Wedding and the attack came so late it did little harm. Prof. Cow- ell, of our Botanic Garden, told me three years ago that he was sure that with the application of Bordeaux mix- ture syringed on the foliage he had arrested the rust and that subsequent growth was healthy and clean, and seeing the plants in flowering time I can vouch for the above, as I saw the finely develoned flowers. T.ast year T propagated Golden Wed- ding from stock thit had a bad attack of rust. When about a foot high In three-inch pots the plants began to show the rust. After being planted out and thoroughly syringed with the animoniacal mixtiire the remainder of the growth was perfectly healthy, so T am inclined to think that these rem- edies are a sure preventive of this troublesome fungus. .\nd when propa- gating the chrysanthemums it would be well to dip the cuttings for a few moments in the ammoniacal or Bor- deaux liquid before and after putting them in the sand. You never can get at them so thoroughly with the syr- inge and the labor and cost of giving them a dip is nothing. The varieties I have seen most troubled with the rust are the glorious Golden Wedding, Emily Henderson, Philadelphia, G. W. Childs and several varieties that we had to discard because they were no good and rusty into the bargain. WM. SCOTT. (We print below the circular re- ferred to by Mr. Scott. — Ed.) Outbreak of Chrysanthemum Rust. During the past month there have been manv complaints concerning a destructive disease among chrj'santhemums. It Is none of the various blights, more or leas common to the chrysanthemum, but one of the genuine rusts, and closely related to those of the hollyhock, carnation and asparagus, which have come to us within the past few years with disastrous results. General Appearance of the Chrysanthemum Rust— Wben badly Infested with the rust, the chrysanthemum plant becomes dwarfed, ths leaves small, and brown on the under side. Later on, instead of the green color of healthy plants, there are the small, stiff, nearly leaf- less stems, ending In stunted heads, that fail to open Into marketable flowers. Over all the lower portions of the plant is a brown powder, as if they had been sprinkled with tobacco dust. Close View of the Rust— Rusted chrysanthe- mum plants, when closely examined, are found to have on the under surface of the leaves brown spots or blister-patches, slightly raised, and covered with a dust that readily rubs off. Such leaves are more or less Irregu- larly discolored, so that the presence of the rust may be detected by the coloration of the l^'af. as seen from above. Nature of the Chrysanthemum Rust— The rust In question Is due to a fungus, as before stated, which Is probably Puccinia HleracII. Mart. As yet. however, the form of spore for a full determination has not been ob- sen'ed upon the American plants. The fungus consists of microscopic threads which grow through the substance of the chrysanthemum plant, feeding upon Its juices, and finally Ijreaking out through leaf or stem, bear the innumerable brown spores that give the dark color to the affected parts. These spores are borne by the winds, or driven by the water from the hose, to other plants, where they germinate quickly and spread the disease. Treatment — The chrysanthemum rust has been known In this country for only a few years. It having come first to the writer's attention In October. 1897, and therefore ex- perience with remedial measures Is here quite limited. "We may, however, profit from the treatment It has received In Europe. One English grower, who doubtless Is writing out of his sad experience, says: "Every gardener should be careful where he obtains cuttings and plants, otherwise he may quite unwit- tingly introduce the rust Into his collection." It Is of prime Importance that the stock used for propagation be free from the disease and all purchased plants likewise. Tn addition, the plants In all stages of growth, from the beginning, should be sprayed weekly with Bordeaux mixture, or other equally effective fungicide. The rust should be watched for upon the older leaves, and when first met with all foliage showing the least signs of rust should be destroyed. If the disease Increases. It may be best to burn the whole lot. fumigate the premises, and start anew with fresh, clean stock. This la an enemy that has proved Its ability to strike a death blow, and It should be watched for, and, when found, destroyed. It may be that some varieties of chrysanthe- mums are not easily attacked, and these are to be looked for and made use of accordingly. There is no danger, as some have feared, of this rust spreading to carnations or other plants outside of the chrysanthemum group. It does attack some of our wild plants, and it is barely possible it came from them to the chrvsanthemum. BTRON D. HALSTED, Botanist. Experiment Station, New Brunswick, N. J., November ». 1X99. HEIGHT OF CHRYSANTHEMUMS. What is the actual height of the following mums planted out June 5, single stem, one flower to a stem, grown for cut flower trade, 8 inches between rows and 10 inches apart in the row: Ivory, Mayflower, Philadel- phia, Bonnaffon, W. H. Chadwick, Robinson, Maud Dean, Florence Pull- man? H. C. H. In reply to above would say that several things have to be considered. Season is one. If the terminal bud is taken it means a foot to eighteen inches more than if the crown bud is taken. As generally grown, unless planted in very rich soil, they would run about as follows: Ivory and Bonnaffon, 2 feet to 30 inches; Maud Dean and Philadelphia, 21^ to 3 feet; Pullman and Robinson, 3% to 4 feet; Mayflower, 4 feet; Chad- wick, 4 feet on late bud. This would be in a modern house with good light and ventilation. BRIAN BORU. CHRYSANTHEMUM SOCIETY OF AMERICA. Work of the Committees.

WOOD ASHES AND NITRATE OF SODA. Kindly inform me the amount of nitrate of soda you would consider suflicient to cover a bed of carnations 6x100. If put on with wood ashas, how much of the ashes should be used with soda to cover above bench and how often should soda be used as a fertilizer? I have used soda with dif- ferent results and I would like to get reliable instructions. Our soil is a good light sod soil, and carnations do very well in it. F. D. R. My experience with nitrate of soda in the mineral form on carnation benches has been most disastrous. Putting perhap;; 2 lbs. (not more) on a piece of bench about 8x7 and thor- oughly mixing it with the soil, which was 5 inches deep, and then planting the carnations, it killed most every plant. This was an experiment, and as the remainder of a long bed had no soda and the plants lived and flour- ished, we know it was nothing but DECKMBEU 7. 189'J. The Weekly Florists' Review. 29 Cattleya Labiata, stown by Frank Bros. the soda. Have heard others say it should be always used in solution; 1 lb. to 50 gallons of water is safe and beneficial, and at this strength you could apply it at every alternate wat- ering. For a top dressing to a carnation bed a sprinkling of wood ashes is beneficial, but I would prefer bone meal. Wood ashes, one of the very best of all fertilizers, should be mixed with the soil before planting; 1 peck to a yard of soil is about right. WM. SCOTT. CATTLEYA LABIATA. We present herewith an engraving of a plant of Cattleya labiata as grown by Messrs. Frank Bros., Beardstown, 111. The plant bears nine flowers on two leads. It is interesting as showing what can be done by a commercial florist having a general stock and with no special facilities for orchid growing. In response to an inquiry Messrs. Frank Bros, write: "We grow the cattleyas in a fern house, a lean-to with eastern aspect. Day temperature SO. to 85 degrees, and 60 to 65 degrees at night. No artificial shading is re- quired as the house is glazed with heavy ribbed glass. Bottom and top ventilators are kept open day and night as long as weather permits. "The floor aud benches are damped down three times a day, and once a week with liquid manure to produce sufncient ammonia. The orchids are watered with settled rain water. "As soon as growth is finished we remove them to the rose house, ex- posed to the full sunlight to ripen off the pseudo-bulbs, which is the main essential to induce the plants to bloom. "We have about 25 cattleyas. mainly Trianae, Percivaliana, Gigas and labi- ata; also Laelia anceps, Coelogyne cristata, Sophronites grandiflora and a few cypripediums. All are doing fine- ly with us. We grow these orchids more for pleasure than for profit." COLD vs. WARM WATER. The results secured at this station last winter in using water of differ- ent temperatures in watering plants do not agree in all particulars with those reported by the Wisconsin Ex- periment Station. Plants under glass were used only. The results of our experiments may be summarized as follows; 1 There was practically no differ- ence in the results secured by the use of water between 45 and 75 degrees. 2. Water at temperatures between 32 and 34 degrees had a distinct dwarfing effect upon all plants treated. S. Water at temperatures between 75 and lOO degrees caused a weak and somewhat spindling growth. 4. Hardy plants like geraniums were less influenced by cold water than ten- der plants like coleus. 5. The best geranium plants were grown by the use of water near the freezing point, while the poorest co- leus were produced by the same tem- perature. I am not prepared to say that there is "nothing in" this watering busi- ness. JOHN CRAIG. Towa .Agricultural College. AMONG BROOKLYN GROWERS. What They Will Have for Christmas. Brooklyn and Bay Ridge are now part of Greater New York, but it will be many years yet before their peculiar localisms, especially floriculturally speaking, shall be obliterated. Getting off the cars at Sixty-fifth street, the "old timer" may stand in a wreath of memories as he watches horses browse over the dilapidated spot where "once upon a time" the finest of plants were grown and yonder stood James Dean's house of generosity and countless friendships. Across the lots is J. M. Keller's ex- tensive range of greenhouses, and here as usual there is. an abundance of stock in the best of condition. It is our mo- tive to see what Is being grown for Christmas. Here we saw a lovely liv- ing picture in the form of a batch of begonia Gloire de Lorraine. Small or- ange trees are well fruited and richly colored. Ardisias are grand. Ericas, daisies, azaleas, poinsettias, cypripe- diums and dendrobiums are promising well. Among azaleas Simon Mardner will be the best one for Christmas. The immense amount of stock intended for Easter is in the best of shape. Mr. Kel- ler has stopped growing small ferns because they didn't pay for the trouble. Just a block away is one of the old homesteads of New York floriculture, James Weir's Sons' place. Here were grown some of the first roses (Bon Si- lene and Safrano) for the New York market, aye, and tuberoses, too, when to cut a stalk full of bloom was a sa- cfed ceremony, and single florets brought as high as 4 and 5 cents whole- sale. Camellias also were worth their weight in precious metal. These very same plants are full of bloom today; having passed through the era of scorn, they are again destined to shine in popularity. Plants and flowers of every kind suitable for the retail mar- ket are extensively grown here. Spe- cially grown mums have not been so large a feature as in former years, but several houses have been devoted to these flowers, grown in bush form, for funeral work and decorative purposes. A section of Newitt. a large white va- 30 The Weekly Florists' Review. DECEMBER 7, 1S99. riety, was the best late one seen here. A house containing many thousands of Lilium Hairisii was being pushed for Christmas; they are the best and freest from disease we've seen this season. A house of poinsettias is a picture worth going to see. They are growing here in sev^al ways. Many are grown successfully in pans, intended for ta- ble decoration, and are in bloom from 6 inches to 12 inches high, six in a pan. The ones growing planted out on the bench are the best in foliage and bloom. Asparagus plumosus is a fea- ture. A house planted in July with two-year-old pot plants which had been retarded has already grown two crops of long vines. Go and see their house of cuneatum! Ferns and ivy seem to be grown by the hundreds of thousands, and the enormous quantity of stock grown here is only a small portion of what is sold in the retail establishment presided over by the genial Johnnie Weir. Henry A. Molatsch grows cut flow- ers for the Brooklyn market. Carna- tions are one of his specialties. His Flora Hills are in bad condition with the disease peculiar to that variety. A bench of his new scarlet carnation is in the best of condition and showing a fine crop. This carnation, which is not yet disseminated, is by its appear- ance here a great improvement on many of the reds we know. Among a bench of seedlings are many which promise much in the future. Mr. Mo- latsch is an extensive grower of sweet peas. He has his winter crop growing in pots outdoors. When his mums are over he plants these peas out, covers them with salt hay and starts firing in January. The varieties he forces are Blanche Ferry, Emily Henderson, Countess of Radnor and Catherine Tracy. Greenwood cemetery is surrounded by florists. They are in bunches every- where and all seem to be thriving. Many of their places are like old curi- osity shops, miniature botanical gar- dens. Along Fort Hamilton avenue there are acres of glass. James Weir recently added several new houses to his already immense plant. Here ev- erything that is good for either cut flower or cemetery planting is grown on a large scale. Across the street is John Condon, who has also had built a beautiful new show house and office. Genial P. Kee- nan is in charge here. Mr. Keenan Is well known as a successful raiser of new chrysanthemums. Many of the best grown around New York have originated with him. Bedding plants are grown by the numberless count; they put out in geraniums alone near- ly 70,000 plants. Mr. Keenan says Summit is their best scarlet. Sherman the best dark, and La Favorite the best white. Eighty thousand pansies are now in frames ready for spring planting. Beaconsfleld is the great fa- vorite, and a beautiful and appropriate color it is, too, for cemetery work. A house of Jacqueminots planted eight years ago is one of the wonders. Of course the sash has been off all sum- mer. The growth is fine; this will be tied down and the house got ready to have them in bloom for Easter. As in all other places around the cemetery all the cut Bowers grown, and more besides, are retailed on the premises. A vast quantity is being forced for Christmas. A house of poin- settias, another of callas, one of Stevia compacta is elegant and valuable, oth- ers of carnations. Mr. Keenan says Flora Hill has paid them best among the whites this year. A bench of a new light pink carnation raised on the place is a grand sight; the crop is im- mense, the color after the style of Dana, perhaps a little brighter, and the stem and growth are all that can be wished for. Here also can be seen about the best carnation support w-e have seen. It does not choke the plant and bring on disease as some do, but permits the plants their natural as- pect; it can be folded up into small space when not in use. At Anthony Wollmer's business was reported good. Mr. WoUmer has raised two geraniums, one a double scarlet, the other a rosy red, which he claims gave him more satisfaction than all others. At Schanley's, Krombach's and all the other places here there is more or less specialty, each having a pet or favoritfe, and all bitterly complaining about the red tape of the cemetery authorities in regard to the decora- tion of graves. The restrictions put upon the planting of shrubs have greatly injured that trade. Ed Wolz is gardener for E. W. Bliss, the man who supplied the government with the materials which sent the late Spaniards to heaven. His beautiful place at Bay Ridge is well worth a visit. Almost everything is grown here in a way to excite enthusiasm, every inch of space is utilized. The mushrooms under benches are in fine condition. His dwarf Champion toma- toes are elegant, whilst the flowers and plants would shame those on many a tradesman's place. Everybody here knows Adolf Wel- sing, and if they don't it's their mis- fortune. There isn't much that's new in Europe or America that misses him, and there's always something novel to be seen in his overcrowded houses. Asked for his opinions on the chrys- anthemums this year, Mr. Welsing's choices are: Whites — Robinson, Wood- ford, Ryerson and Weeks; Yellows — Australian Gold, Roosevelt, Golden Wedding, T. L. Park and Appleton. Crimson — Admiral Schley. Childs, Shrimpton and CuUingfordii; Pink — Morel. Perrin, P. Ivory, Glory Pacific. Wm. S. Rennie is in charge of Mrs. Chas. Pratt's place. Lord & Burnham have but recently rebuilt the beautiful range of houses. A general collection of fine cut flowers and decorative plants can always be seen here. Chrys- anthemums have been a splendid fea- ture. Mr. Rennie's best varieties this season were: T. L. Park. Black Hawk, J. W. Goff, Waban, Lieut. Hobson, Roosevelt, Cornell and Barrington. To sum up the Christmas flowers and plants among growers here, there will be more poinsettias than ever; lilies, doubtful quantity; roses in pots, none; daisies, plentiful; ardisias and oranges, fair supply; cypripediums, plenty; azalea, doubtful quantity; ericas, plenty; fair supply of decorative plants. J. I. DONLAN. BUFFALO. Thanksgiving Day Trade. Thanksgiving trade was good, bet- ter than ever, but the oft repeated in- quiry, "Have you any violets?" and the reply, "No, sir, we ha.ve not, I am sorry to say," became Monotonous. Roses were all right, though none too plentiful, and American Beauty put on very aristocratic airs; eight and nine dollars a dozen retail produces nervousness in the asking and sour- ness in the paying, and yet they are worth every cent of it if you are go- ing to get paid for your houses and labor. Carnations were also in great de- mand, and many more could have been sold. But it was violets that were mostly missed. It is evident the crop is off, not here alone, but throughout the country. What is the cause? We believe that a very warm spell in October is the cause. It forced out the flowers in great quan- tity and the plants have since taken a rest. We know one place where they were picking twelve hundred a day seven weeks ago, and now they are picking the twelve without the hund- reds. I believe they will be more plentiful at Christmas. There is every reason to believe that the coming social season will be much gayer than for several seasons past. We can stand It. Various Items. Mr. C. D. ZimnK>r:nan has opened a very nice floral denot on West Chip- pewa St., a great thoroughfare. It is a greenhouse about 30x20 with a well appointed store office. It is a good move.

Otto Scliiibert (who sometinu's goes under the name o£ Otto Swart/,) is wanted at Crestline, Ohio, on a charge of obtaining money under false pre- tenses. He was in the employ of Nicholas Amos, the florist, whose place he left Oct. 20th, and he is charged with taking $100 belonging to Mr. Amos and $500 belonging to an- other man. A warrant has been is- sued for his arrest. A liberal reward is offered for his apprehension. Fol- lowing is his description: He is a man about 40 years of age. height about 5 feet 6. Sandy com- plexion, hair gray and sandy mixed, short and thin; very light blue-gray eyes, the left eyeball slightly everted: bad teeth, and is perhaps without a mustache. He is very active, quiclv and jerky In movement and speech. Speaks good German but broken Eng- lish. When last seen wore a gray suit, a light gray overcoat with brown velvet collar, brown stiff hat and black shoes. He carried a large tan valise, which no doubt contained a black suit and black soft hat, which he took with him. He is an inveterate smoker. Send all communications to Frank Miller, mayor of Crestline, Ohio. BOSTON. A hard fought, bloodless and per- fectly successful revolution has taken place in the flower business of this noted borough. From a time of the most generous plenty, and small de- mand, to a period of the scantiest sup- ply and a royal call for the goods all in one week is the record. Prices flew up like the gallant boys in blue at the hill of San Juan. The forward move- ment began four or five days before Thanksgiving and even now the man who charges the most is still consid- ered the bravest. The co-operative mai'ket is of course the most active battlefield, as here the forces meet face to face in large numbers. Chrysanthemum artillery scarce and pf light bore at, $1.50 and $2 per doz.; roses, fairly good ones from $1 to $2, and smaller ones at the top of the salesman's conscience; pinks, 3 to 6 cents, and quality not guaranteed; vio- lets. $1.50 per 100 and more, and very bashful at that. Some few bulb goods now arriving and the usual variety, but not quantity, of other flowers and all selling great. Who would not a florist be? And the weather clerk is reeling us off fine summer weather by the web. The heroic driver who takes the flor- ist and his box from the station to the market with early dispatch and who can be depended upon to be at his post through thick and thin, is considered one of his best men, as they are really hard to find. So the news that one of the most reliable of the few utilized was killed by accident the day before Thanksgiving has called forth many expressions of regret. His horse fell upon the poor fellow twice, causing in- ternal injuries from which he died a day or two later. It seems Tbonuis Galvin is an ex- pauhionist all right. He has annexed the store adjoining his old store on Tremont street for a permanent thing, the story goes. One of the most sensible idea.s of the Massachusetts Horticultural Society is that of offering prizes to school chil- Otto Schubert. For whose appreliension a reward is ottered. dren for collections of pressed flowers, etc. Their exhibition of the same last week was very interesting as well as highly instructive. Both halls were full of tables covered with them, each mounted upon cardboard upon which is written the formula required by the society. Of course the knowledge gained by the pupil in making out this formula is the main thing aimed at. J. W. Howard, for many years iden- tified with the seed and bulb business of the city and for eight or ten years occupying a very responsible position with W. W. Rawson, has relinquished his position to attend entirely to his rapidlv growing floral trade at his Somerville and Charlestown stores. H's will not need any best wishes. B. T. NEW YORK. All branches of the business expect an extra fine Christmas trade. Plants- men are sanguine, cut flower men are jubilant, all other varieties are ex- pectant. What's the use of grumbling? Grow good stock, handle it properly, the public does the rast. Holly and mistletoe (that is, good stock) have not put in an appearance yet. Cargoes are looked for this week. Prices are not quoted on mistletoe un- til we see what it's like. As to prices on cut flowers just now — well, whistle and wink; we'll give you them next week and later. The Florists' Club will meet on Mon- day evening, Dec. llth. Election of ofhcens will take place and if you have anything oxtr.a fine, novel, or new in plant or flower bring it along. The New York Gardeners' Society will meet at the Grand Central Palace, l''nrty-third street and lyexington ave- nue, at 8 p. m., Saturday, Dec. 9th. Of- ficers for the ensuing year will be elected at this meeting, and new plants or flowers fi-om any source will re- ceive careful and considerate atten- tion. We speak thus of both the meet- ings because we know there are many fine new flowers in the country which ought to be shown at such meetings. The press prefers to encourage ad- vance in horticulture than displays of oratory or definitions of parliamentary laws. Make the meetings educational — interesting. .T. N. Gallatin and T. W. Satter- thwaite have opened a florist store at 491 Fifth avenue. This is two doors from Wadley & Smyth's floral estab- lishment. Messrs. Gallatin & Satter- thwaite have received quite a lot of advertising in the daily press, but — well, this is The Florists' Review; we can only look at honesty and art and appreciate both at their full value. We wish them success. We were down to the law courts to- day and are fully conversant with a suit which has caused lots of unpleas- antness in certain circles of our trade. Surely there is enough hard work and troubles in our business without re- sorting to law. We'd like the boys to shake hands and stand treat for the crowd: 'twould be better in results.

The Market. A great scarcity of stock has pre- vailed all of the past week. Nearly every line of stock has been short and prices remained high during Thanks- giving week. Although the weather has been exceedingly fine for a week, there seems little prospect for much increase in the supply for a week or so. Chrysanthemums have almost en- tirely disappeared and have little de- mand. This accounts for the increased demand in other lines. Crops of both carnations and roses are off and a great many of the growers speak of having a full crop for the coming hol- idays. 32 The Weekly Florists' Review* DECEMBER 7. 1S99. Beauties took the lead for Thanks- giving day sales. This rose is always in demand nowadays for all occasions. Meteors are beginning to show that ob- jectionable blue black color that makes most ot this stock unsalable. Brides- maids, too, are sadly oft color and could hardly be used for pink roses. Brides and Perles are somewhat im- proved in quality. Carnations are very stiff now, fancy stock brings $5, and $2 is the price for fair common. Bulb stock is in fine condition and is selling at the regular price for this time of the year. Ro- mans, vailev and paper whites all are in good demand. Violets remain away ur and Calitornias bring top prices and the demand is in excess of supply. Stevia sells in large bunches and has a fair demand. Thanksgiving day trade was up to the usual standard; the market was well supplied with all kinds of flowers and the demand great. Out in the West End the florists claim that they were busy all day Wednesday and half the day Thursday. Take it all in all, the day was about the same as last year, only that stock was not so scarce last year. Quite a few shipping orders had to be turned down, owing to home or- ders that were in ahead. The commis- sion men have nothing to complain of as they sold out clean early in the day and at good, round figures. They have one more day left this year to get a whack at the poor retailers, and that is Christmas. Notes. The exhibition committee wishes to thank Mr. .Tames Gurney, Prof. Wm. Trelease and Phil Gable for their val- uable assistance at our late show. Their beds of crotons and the new ageratum Stella Gurney were very pleasing to the eye of every florist, lo- cal as well as the visitors. Max Herzog. out at Gratiot Station, has all his houses looking in tip-top shape and is cutting a lot of fine roses and carnations every day, which have first choice among the retailers. Charlie Wors, at one time one of our leading commission men, is now selling flowers on the street corners. J. W. Kunz. who, a few weeks ago, opened a retail store at 504 Olive street, is doing well and reports that his business for Thanksgiving was fine. Fred Foster, at Eighth and Olive streets, has gone in the fruit business in connection with his flower store and makes a very pretty show in his two large show windows. Misses llaug and Rudloft, florists, about a year ago leased the green- houses ot Mr. Klockenkemper, They put the place in first class shape and were cutting lots of fine carnations and roses. Now Mr. Klockenkemper takes the place from them on a snap judg- ment. The boys here feel very bad over the matter. Next Thursday, the 14th. the regu- lar monthly meeting of the club will be held and the members should not fail to he present to hear the report of the exhibition committee and the two essays. Also other important matters which require the presence of every member. Visitors in town: Mr. J. W. Canaga, Shelbyville, 111. Mr. Canaga ate Thanksgiving dinner in St. Louis with his parents, who live here. Miss Nellie Croy, formerly with FVey & Frey, Lincoln, Neb., is in the city. Bowling. The bowling match between the Ju- niors and St. Louis Florists' Bowling Club came off Monday night and re- sulted in a clean victory for the older club. The Juniors did well, consider- ing that they are not quite six months old. The older club did not roll with all their best men. such as Beyer, San- ders and Schray. After the match Mr. Ellison said that the Juniors would be ready for another match in February for a prize to cost not less than $25. The match was rolled under the rules of the National Florists' Bowling Association. Beneke Was high man for his side and Adels was high for the Junior.s. The highest single score was made by Beneke; F. C. Weber, sec- ond. Adels also was high on single score for his side. J. W. Kunz and A. Y. Ellison were captains for their re- spective sides. Everything was pleas- ant and we had a good time. The scores were as follows; FI^ORISTS' BOWLrNG CL,UB. 12 3 Tot. Av. .1. J. Beneke 163 134 171 468 156 C. A. Kuehn 153 W7 140 445 14S F. C.

B. CHICAGO. The Market. The scarcity of flowers continues and prices are holding up generally . to Thanksgiving rates. In white roses the demand is not quite so brisk and prices are not quite so stiff as on col- ored sorts. In carnations the whites seem to be in even better demand than the colored ones. But there is ready sale at good figures for everything. Chrysanthemums are practically done for the season. While prices on mums have at no time been extrava- gantly high the average returns have been very satisfactory and there have been no gluts at any time. Violets dragged some last Thursday and it looked as though some losses would be made, hut demand braced up on Friday and Saturday and took care ot all in good shape. The great scarcity on Tuesday pre- ceding Thanksgiving was eased some- what by increased receipts on Wednes- day, quite a number of growers hav- ing made the same old mistake of hold- ing back till too late to catch the ship- ping trade. As a result the city buyer who held off till the last moment had a little the best of it. All the commission men agree that it is a bad mistake on the part ot the grower to hold back stock at a holi- day, and we notice that the growers who have their own city salesrooms do not do it. Experience has taught them better. The man who gets his supply in as regularly and evenly as possible is the one who gets the best average returns. Both ■wholesalers and local retailers agree that the Thanksgiving day trade was the best ever experienced. And a very pleasant feature to the whole- saler was the small number of com- plaints from outside buyers. Stock seems to have carried well. Kennicott Bros. Co. report that their November business surprised them by exceeding their December business of last year. Club Meeting. At the meeting of the Florists' Club last Friday evening there was an in- teresting discussion on the benefits of flower shows. It was opened by Mr. Edgar Sanders in a short paper which will appear in next week's issue. Though the debate was entirely in fa- vor of flower shows some very useful points were brought out, not the least of which was that should the shows be discontinued in this city there would undoubtedly be a glut and low prices at the time instead of the brisk de- mand and fancy figures that now pre- vail during flower show week. Various Items. In a general way the majority feel encouraged over the outlook for a good holiday supply of flowers, but there are some w-ho are doubtful and say that the time is now so short that only unusually favorable weather will bring the crops along fast enough. Christmas greens and other goods are moving freely. The supply of green has swelled up remarkably of late and there will surely be enough for all. Bassett & Washburn report the larg- est Thanksgiving trade in their experi- ence and rejoice over the fact that not a single complaint came from their customers. Mr. Smith, of Smith & Fetters. Cleveland, O.. was a visitor this week. McKellar & Winterson are display- ing a fine stock of Cape flowers, im- mortelles and other seasonable goods.

PHILADELPHIA. Trade has been very good the past week. The storekeepers report an old- time Thanksgiving, it being the best in many years; with Bridesmaids and American Beauties very scarce, not enough to go around. As for mums they have seen better days and are fast disappearing. Mr. L. Kleeblott, who has been with the Floral Exchange for the past five years, has embarked in the florist's business for himself, opening a store last week at 190S West Susquehanna avenue. He has designated it the Sha- ron Nurseries. Mr. K. intends to han- dle a general line of cut flowers and decorative plants. Mr. A. B. Cartledge and Mr. Geo. Anderson are off on a ten days' gun- ning trip in North Carolina. Julius AVolff, Jr,, reports a very busy week, the principal event of the week being a big decoration at the Mercan- tile Club, which reqiiired eight loads of palms and decorative plants to do the work, to say nothing of the immense lot of cut flowers used. Also large bou- quets showered with miniature incan- descent lights. Mr. Wolff and his fore- man, Mr. Dunning, were quite proud of the job. Robert Kift reports an increasing de- mand for his unique adjustable hang- ing flower vase and plant holder. It is an ideal thing for short stemmed flowers. It is without a doubt indis- pensable tor show window and house decoration, as it shows the plants or vase of flowers to the best possible ad- vantage. It is one of those things that have to be seen to be appreciated. Cut flower prices are about as fol- lows: Beauties. $2 to $7.50 a doz.; Brides and Maids, ,'?5 to $7 per 100; Perles, $.5 to $fi: Kaiserins, $5 to $10; Meteors, $.5 to $S: Liberty, $1.5 to $25; carnations, $1.50 to $2.0our success in getting up carna- tion supports. 1 think that those I have had from you are about as perfect as anybody will be able to make them.

TARRYTOWN, N. Y. At the last meeting of the Tarry- town Horticultural Society 43 members were present. Four new members were elected and four more applica- tions for membership were received. The treasurer reported a balance of about $200 in the treasury after all expenses of the recent exhibition had been paid. Mr. Turner, superintendent of the exhibition, and the judges were given the thanks of the society for their valuable services. It was decided that the hour of meeting be changed from 8 to 7 o'clock. Nominations of officers were made and the election will take place at the next meeting, Dec. 28, after which a collation will be served and a sociable evening spent. In my report of the exhibition I in- advertently omitted mention of the exhibits of Mr. John Fursey, florist, Yonkers. He showed two fine floral pieces for which he was awarded two special first prizes. We hope that pre- miums will be offered for floral ar- rangements at the next exhibition. The local florists report that busi- ness is good and that more business has been done this fall than for a number of years at this season. J. T. S. AS A gift book the Florists' Man- ual, by Wm. Scott, cannot be sur- passed. It is very handsomely bound in half leather, with specially designed title in gold, is magnificently and pro- fusely illustrated, and above all. the contents are of practical and lasting value.

The Grand New Rose LIBERTY Won Highest Honors Wherever Shown, The Finest Crimson Forcing Rose ot the Century. Most nearly approacht-d by Meteor in color, but far surpassing ttiat standard variety in brilliancy and purity of color, as well as in sii^e and freedom of bloom— never showing any deformed, black or bull heads, either in winter or summer. A remarkable keeper when cut. keeping its brilliancy of color without turning bUie or dropping its petals, as is the case with Gen. Jacqueminot; whi( h it somewhat resembles in size and fragrance. To be sure of getting the best crimson forcing rose of the century and .^1 stock, send your orders at once to tlie undersigned or his agents mentioned below. My stock for March delivery being all sold. I can only take orders for delivery in .\pril and later. All orders tilled strictly in rotation. First come, first served.

V Mention The Review when you write, E. G. ASM US, West Hoboken, N. J. WASHINGTON. Bright weather and lots of fine stock brought the buyers out for Thanksgiv- ing, giving the florist lots of fine busi- ness. Stock of all kinds was plentiful and all bought up, thus making a rec- ord breaker in the way of receipts. Roses of all kinds brought 8 and 10 cents; carnations went up as high as 3 cents for ordinary stock; violets went humming at $1; mums w-ent at $1 to $3 per dozen and none left at that. Following Thanksgiving came the convening of Congress. The Senate Chamber and the House of Congress were virtually turned into a garden of flowers, for there were more flowers there than has been for years. Some of the local dealers carried a® high as eight wagonloads of baskets and bou- quets. Some designs were quite elabo- rate in style as well as expensive. The larger designs were made by A. Gude & Bro., J. R. Freeman, J. H. Small & Son and The American Rose Co. Mr. Eschner, of Rice & Co., Philadel- phia, was a visitor this week. F. H. KRAMER. HOLYOKE, MASS. E. H. Rowland has just closed an exhibition which lasted four days and was attended by a host of admirers of the Queen of Autumn. In addition to the highly attractive di.splay, an additional drawing card was the offer of a prize to the nanier of a fine white seedling raised by Mr. Sinclair, the grower. Above one hundred names were submitted, many being original and suggestive. Messrs. Canning, ot the Botanic Gardens, and Copeland, of Northamp- ton, found the task of selection a dif- ficult one, but finally decided upon "Valley Queen" as being the most ap- propriate. The successful donor of the name was awarded a prize, a hand- some palm, which doubtless the happy young lady is showing her many friends, and Mr. Rowland is receiv- ing lots of advertising in consequence. S. H. THERE IS nothing in the way of a Christmas gift to a friend in the trade that will be more appreciated than a copy ot the Florists' Manual, by Wm. Scott. DEWEY Have what you want in this list?

Grown equally successfully by Hill, Craig, and invself, you are not buying it on a venture, but knowing that it is not a .success in one soil and a failure in another. In color, size, fragrance and stem it is just what the "storenien'' want. In habit, constitution and freedom of bloom it is just what the grower wants, never out of crop from Sept. to July, more flowers to the square foot than any other known variety and practically no seconds. With 18.000 stock plants to work from there is no dancer of over propagation, and you are not asked to wait uiinl planting out time for your cuttings but can have them whenever warned. Orders entrusted to me wjU have my personal attention, both in the selection of the cuttings and the filling of the order.

Everything sold out close, par- ticularly roses and carnations, of which there were not enough to go around. Prices on previous similar holidays were never so high as on this occa- sion. Roses at the stores sold for $1.25 per doz.; Beauties, $2 to $3.50; carnations, 35 to 50 cents; violets, from 20 to 30 cents, with light sales on this one flower only. Outside demand was in excess of the supply at $2 to $2.50 per 100 wholesale. Mums at Smith's went from $1 to $2; they were heavily stocked and put the $2 price on to make sure of selling their best out close, which they did. Cunningham got as high as $3 for his mums and when asked if plants or cut flowers sold best replied, "Don't know; sold out every plant and cut flower we had and could have sold more." The Floral Co. and Renwick sing the same refrain, both claiming trade far in excess of last year. It might be roughly averaged that the money value of this year was from 40 to 50 per cent, better than last.

Tlie South Park Floral Co. are build- ing a new range of tiouses wliicti, when (■onipleted, will mak:? their establish- ment one of the largest in the west de- voted e.xclusively to the growing of roses for cut flowers outside of Chi- cago. They will erect seven large houses for the growing of American ISeauties and will jilant their present ten houses in Brides and Maids. William Dittman will continue as their grower, while Herbert Heller will have the general supervision of the place. SAN FRANCISCO, Business ha.s picked up very much during the iast few weeks, although prica? are somewhat lower than they were at this date last year. The abun- dant rains during October and Novem- ber have been a godsend to all growers of outside stuff. Owing to the early rains violets are coming in from the growers in large quantities, and as a consequence poor prices are being ob- tained. Thanksgiving day was marked with sunshine a.nd a victory for the blue and gold over the cardinals, the score being .30 to 0. Business was 40 per cent, better than at this time last year. Good inside chrysanthemums. Bonnaffons. brought $2. .5(1 to $3.00 per dozen. Outside chrys- anthemums were poor and brought 50 to 75 cents per dozen. Reds sold at $1 per dozen. American Beauties, first grade, $4: seconds, $2.50 and $3 per dozen; Bridesmaids. $1 and $2: Brides, 75 cents and $1 per dozen. In carnations. Portias sold well, 4 and G dozen for $1. Scotts were fine and brought 25 cents per dozen. Fine Flora Hills were 25 to 35 cents per dozen. Violets were grand and sold at $1 for Californias, $1.50 for Princess of Wales, per dozen bunches. Roman hy- acinths, 25 to 30 cents per dozen. Pa- per white narcissus, $1 per 100. Free- sias have made their first appearance and sell at 25 cents per dozen. On Thanksgiving eve Sievers' and Borland's store on Post street looked grand. Two boxes of lily of the valley were extremely well done; also a vase of their beautiful carnation, Anna Ho- bart. Mr. Thomas Stevenson, "The Lon- don Florist." on Powell street, made a fine display of chrysanthemums, and one window filled with Roman hya- cinths and Princess of Wales violets was a treat. Mrs. Stevenson says they did a good Thanksgiving business. Everything went, even the turkey (at the table, I suppose). Mr. John Jack, head gardener for the California Jockey Club, has a fine lot of cinerarias in bloom, fully 4 feet in height and 3 feet across, grown in a cold-frame, and go to show the skill of this worthy Scotchman. Mr. Vallance, with the Cox Seed & Plant Co.. who has been ill for some time, is now much improved in health and it is to be hoped will soon be all right again. Trumbull & Beebe, nursery and seedsmen, on Sansome street, report business good and many orders com- ing in. the result of the early rains all over the state. J. N.

Mr. Franks is of the opinion tlml he ha« been making a prai'tice of working a few weeks at a plaee and I hen dis- appearing with whatever he ean lay his hands on, and desires to warn brother ilorists against him. He is an Englishman, about .') feet 8 inehes tall, and when last seen wore a dark suit, a black shirt w-itli a sma'.I white stripe in it and a dark necktie. He had a black derby hat and a new pair of shoes. Clean shaven and a rather rough appearance. He is a pret- ty good florist and talks a good deal of where he has traveled. DENVER, COLO.

This will assuredly be a 'ijIluU diristnias," Every retailer of note lias made iirovisions for it. and it is only a possible' severity of weatlier tliat will in any way injure their hopes for this branch of the trade. This vigorously increasing growth of the plant trade for Christmas is a matter to be regret- ted on all sides. It bodes the greatest evil to the cut flower trade and that is the great foundation stone, aye. the principal pillar of our business. It is undesirable to split the Easter trade. It is inconvenient and troublesome for retailers to handle plants at Christmas —but what were we to do? The un- certainty, the poor quality of stock and the exorbitant prices were not alone sufficient to impair the sanity of the retailers, but it stunned the pub- lie and would shortly have destroyed the Christmas trade altogether. In our business perhaps more than in any other it is "live and learn." It is bad policy to lie continually disput- ing and trying to fly in the face of facts. High prices were never condu- cive to the expansion of trade. If growers cannot see the error of de- manding extraordinary prices for salt- ed flowers at Christmas, there are many hundreds of houses devoted to cut flowers today which will either be turned into plant houses or wrecks in a few years from now. It is a source of much satisfaction to be able to go to your plantsman, see the plants, and know what you are to pay for the goods weeks or months be- fore you need them. Whereas with the cut flower element one is continually on the gridiron until the very last day and then mostly all is disappointment. Plants last longer and give more sat- isfaction, of course they do— liut they cause a decrease in the demand for flowers simply because they last so long. The successful or artistic retail florist has powerful influence with the public, he is a more important factor than the grower in the advancement of floriculture. The American people love flowers and will have them either on the plant or cut. We are in favor of the live and let live policy and would like to see every one succeed, but if any. element is looking towards exact- ing ;ill the wealth uud pleasure there is in life, why, we agree with teaching them a lesson. Holly is a great disappointment this year. What we have seen so far i? v;ry poor, compared with that of other years. The reason given is that all the available holly trees were butch- ered up last year by all manner of speculators and it will be years before the outrage can be effaced. This same thing is fast depleting the American landscape from much of its great charms in the way of evergreens. The Jersey and Connecticut coasts were once beautiful with stately hemlock, juniper, arborvitae andtir, now scarce- ly a decent looking one remains, and we are informed 'tis so all through the New England states. Even the woods of Maine are being dismantled with- out reason or cause. Over a quarter of a million Christmas trees are shipped to New York every year. They are mostly pileil up along the docks m West street. Grocers and butciiers anu all manner of dealers handle and dis- pose of this stock. Now let us see what we are going to have and what we are going to do for Christmas! We are busy on wreaths to hang in windows. They are going to be very popular again this year. Now you know if you want well made wreaths you must have them specially done for you. Holly of course will lead. Make the wreath good and fjill; you can pack the inside with the poor material or with Princess pine, but have them good and round on both sides and have your extra special ones made in laureate shape, that is, both sides facing up, a cluster of berries at the bottom, with a good cluster of nar- row ribbon, or it will do without. A good hollv wreath is worth from $1 to ?2. There will be a few wreaths of mis- tletoe tied with berry colored gauze, but they will not be as popular as the bunches. Princess pine wreatns made round and full, with or without red immortelle stars, are going to s?ll well. so are laureate shaped wreaths of boxwood and cluster of berries. There is not going to be anything specially new in this line of work. The only thing is that the hest work will sell first, and we know many a good cus- tomer has been caught through having finely made wreaths on exhibition f o • Christmas. If! you use ribbon it should not be cheap looking nor too small. Silks will be better than satins, but neither should be the best part of the work. Speaking of ribbons there promises lo be quite enough of it useil this sea- son. Don't abuse it and be careful of the color harmony. ICverything is suii- liosed to be briglil and cheerful for the great festival, and whilst we may take a greater latitude in our fanciful crea- tions there are often times if we could only see our work midst the surround- ings they often get among we would have cause to disown it. This applies lo the milliner florist who cannot han- dle ,1 carnation or violet without want- ing to put a sash of ribbon around it. and the exuberant crepe paper artist who imagines every plant a doll and dresses it accordingly. As we have often said before, anything is almost preferable to a dirty plant pot. but, heavens, Where's the sense of choking up the plant? 'i'he best stores this year will show their plants in baskets. Some very fine work is seen already. Most of the baskets are of green luffia and the shapes are mostly after the classical antique vases, though there are some fine effects made from palm fiber in natural color. Small orange trees look elegant and have a native touch about them in these basket vases. All man- ner of plants will be sold singly, but most will be made up in baskets to .sell for $5, $10. ?1.5 and upwards. Al- most any variety of flowering plant in good condition will sell well; top the pot off with green moss, holly or small ferns. You are liable to sell quite a few palms, ferns and foliage plants, but must put them where they can be seen. In the matter of cut flowers one can never be positive until the last. Cat- tleyas will be scarce: they are now- bringing .50 cents wholesale and should not be sold for less than $10 or $12. that is, fairly good ones. Cypripe- diums will he plentiful: 1214 cents is what they are costing now and they are too plentiful to raise very much In price; they will retail at $4 or $-5. Den- drobium phalaenopsis are plentiful and will retail at 15 or 20 cents a flower. Orchids are almost a nonen- tity for Christmas. They are mostly used to fill the delicate little vases customers send you to take care of weeks before. Valley, paper -whites and Romans promise to be plentiful and cannot be very high in price. It is the fine grades of roses, carnations and violets which make us anxious, and from what we have seen there will be lots of carnations, few violets, and not a large quantity of extra fine roses, and from what we see now prices will not differ very much. Plants will interfere with and keep the market rates steadier. Harrisiis will sell for good figures, say $.5 or $6. New flowers will be in demand. We hear one new carnation in New York is retailing now at IfG 52 The Weekly Rorists' Review. DECEMBER 14, 1899. per doz. Stevia, callas and such stock will be plentiful. Keep your eye on the Meteors, Beauties and good Maids. We must leave our price list until the next paper. Christmas means a great deal to the world in general, and among other things hard work, worry and vexa- tions to the florist. The fatigue and chagrin of the long hours and cease- less inquiries can be lightened by the exercise of a little thought and com- mon sense. Let your heip get then- meals somehow. If they cannot spare time to go out, get it in the store for them; a cup of coffee to enable the in- ner man to meet the outer man means more in results than aught you can say or do. IVERA. Christmas Preparations. Every year of late the plant business has been more and more a feature of the Christmas trade. This has been largely brought about by the extreme- ly high prices of cut flowers, and qual- ity has not always risen correspond- ingly with prices, so the public has found they can get more for their money and have turned to plants. You cannot do much in preparatory work in flowers, but you can with plants do a great deal to help the rush go smoothly. All wreaths and wreathing should be made up at the earliest possible mo- ment and got out of the way several days before Christmas, for all hands, however much help you have, will be wanted the last few days. You can buj laurel wreathing cheaper and better than you can make it yourself and it keeps splendidly in any cool place. Holly wreaths you cannot buy equal to your own making, for when sent packed in cases they get flattened out and unsightly. A cool, dark cellar is the place for these, and so it is for the ground pine wreaths and wreath- ing, but it you don't have such a cellar a deep, tight frame outside will do very well, providing you don't pile them up too much. Snow and ice is all right for the ground pine, but holly should not be frozen too hard or you will lose many berries. The principal object to observe in keeping the ground pine and holly is coolness and closeness; keep light and air away from them. The handling of flowering plants at Christmas, particularly if it is what our northern people profess to enjoy, zero with good sleighing, is a diflicult matter, and there is room for lots of good sense and judgment. There is no set rule for wrapping up any plant, and 1 know of no article handled by other merchants that calls for the same care and horse sense. A turkey, a bonnet, a doll, a box of candy, or even a live baby will stand a little frost, or at least is easily wrapped up, but an azalea, a palm or poinsettia will tax all your care and experience to get themi landed at their destination in perfect order. Those who have a good sized heated delivery wagon have at this season a great advantage, for a slight covering of paper round the plant is sufflcient to protect it while going from the wagon to the door. Heated wagons are, however, as yet not the rule, and many of us rely on long, close fitting boxes, laying the plants down after being well wrapped in paper and in the order in which they are to be de- livered. There is a great deal in first appearances and although what I am going to say may sound entirely super- fluous to many, yet you still see plants delivered in very crude shape. The present day demands neatness if not style. Two colored gentlemen in gold lace, sitting on an automobile, I have not yet seen delivering flowers, but the colored folks in gold we have, and the other will soon be started on Broadway, New York, or Tremont street, Boston, and delivering Mrs. Lawson carnations at ?9 per dozen in anything but an "autbil" seems de- grading and beneath the dignity of her divinity. Newspaper does well for the com- mission man to keep out frost, but will never do to wrap up a two dollar cyclamen. I protest against any plant being sent out, however warm the weather, with the bare pot. It should have a sheet of wrapping paper cover- ing the pot, whatever the season. Time spent in carefully and thoroughly wrap- ping a plant is well spent. And re- member that it need not be freezing to greatly injure a plant. If the ther- mometer should be 40 degrees with a cutting wind and the bare flowers of an azalea or poinsettia or lily were exposed five minutes to it you would see in an hour or two some brown and wilted flowers. There are some plants that can be partially hardened off for a tew days before sold and will then feel less the change from greenhouse to store or house, or perhaps church, but you should not remove anything to a much cooler house unless it is well out. A poinsettia may be growing in 70 de- grees; if fully developed it won't hurt in 50 degrees. A Harrisii lily will do in 40 degrees, the heaths in any- thing aliove freezing. Cyclamen are never grown warm, still 40 degrees for a few nights will stiffen them some. Azaleas have been truly forced and it would be the greatest benefit to give them a cool house tor a week before being sold. Customers for plants, and we expect many of them, will not all wait till the last day or two. Many sensible people will order a week ahead and that enables us to get out the orders, which is an immense advantage. For several seasons we have greatly ex- pedited business by adopting a sys- tem and thoroughly adhering to it. Clear off 50 feet of bench or as much as your business needs. Cover it with coarse paper and have It in sections for the several days preceding Christ- mas. Directly a plant is sold and or- dered delivered Friday. Dec. 22. it is put on the space allotted to Friday's delivery, the address card and donor's card attached, the pot washed, and it is all ready to be wrapped. It will do no harm if it is there several days. No syringing is neces- sary. If you are busy with customers or other necessary work you can in the evening wrap up securely these orders that are to be delivered on Friday. Two or three handy men, if not both- ered or called away, can do a great deal of wrapping in a few hours. We take a memorandum of every order, whether it is cash or charged, and when once the plant is wrapped ready for delivery the order is put away with that day's business so that it can be readily referred to. Noah or some other ancient philoso- pher said that "mistakes occur in the best regulated families." This was oc- casioned by the monkey eating the squirrel's share of nuts in the ark, but the fewer mistakes the better for our business and peace of mind. A good, smart, clear headed deliv- ery man is a jewel and well worthy his hire, but while he knows the large run of your customers you should not tax his ability too far on these ex- traordinary occasions, and you will have all kinds of people delivering at this time. Don't begrudge clerical help. One delivery gone wrong will pay the wages of a man who will write a thousand address cards for you. So we find the safest and only plan where two or three dozen plants are sent on one delivery wagon is to write on the address card the name and address and in addition what the article is it there is more than one plant for the same person. To illustrate: "Mrs. White, number and street: 1 lily. 1 poinsettia, 1 cyclamen." This label I goes on one plant and on the other DECEMBER M, 1S99.

And although this may seem fussy it will pay over and over again. WM. SCOTT. HISTORY OF THE JUBILEE CAR- NATION. John Hartje was asked how he hap- pened to originate the above carnation, and in reply, he says: "In January. 1891, I attended a meet- ing of the Society of Indiana Florists at Lafayette. The members present were entertained most royally by Mr. Dorner and were shown his carnation houses. One was full of seedlings, and I understood him to say that they were cutting from 500 to 600 blooms per day from this house (about 100x20), and were retailing them at 7.5 cents and $1.00 per dozen. I went home full of inspiration, and with a bad case of seedling fever. "I did not know much about hybrid- izing. Had the following varieties to work on: Grace Wilder, Century, Grace Fardon, Pres. Garfield, Silver Spray and Crimson King. The flower intended to be seeded was prepared by pulling out some of the petals, so the pistils would project somewhat. Then I cut off a bloom from some other variety, and would rub them together. I would often cross a pod witli two or three varieties, and occasionally use side flowers for seeding. We did not disbud in those days. "The seeds of all the pods were gathered and put into one package, no record being made of any of the crosses. Seed was laid away for a week or so and then planted. Had about 800 plants, and out of this num- ber a little over 200 kinds were propa- gated; from 5 to 20 of each variety were tested. Jubilee was not thought much of as but five plants were grown. "About five days before the meeting of the Carnation Society at Pittsburg, I went over to Richmond and took a flower along to show it to Mr. Hill. He was not at home, so I left it there. This same flower was afterward shown at the meeting, and commented upon by the judges. The stock was after- ward sold to Mr. Hill. Other red varieties have been introduced since Jubilee, hut so far have not taken its place. I think Crane and America are dangerous rivals." NEW YORK. The Market. At this time of writing there is more gue.ssing than aught else as to what the cut flower trade will be the next two weeks. The weather so far has been unusually warm, which is bad for the holding back of stock. Very few advance orders have been given, unless for very special stock. Prices are gradually creeping upwards. Sat- urday, December 9, ordinary carna- tions brought .$1.50 and $2; a few fair- ly good Bonnaffon and Robinsons, $2 per dozen; paper whites, 6 cents; Ro- mans, 1% and 2 cents; Harrisiis, $2; valley, from $2 to $5; Liberty, $4 per dozen; Testouts, $8 to $15; ditto Maids and Brides, also Victorias; Beauties, 60 cents, and so on. Of course, no prices could then be quoted for Christ- mas. Holly is selling slowly at any price up to $5 per case for the best. The Greeks were selling valley at 10 cents a bunch of four or five flowers and leaves on Saturday last; a retailer could not buy them for that. New York Florists' Club. There was quite a large gathering at the meeting on Monday night last. The following were elected to office for the convention year: President, Pat- rick O'Mara; vice-president, Arthur Herrington; treasurer, Charles Weath- ered; secretary, .lohn Young; Messrs. Wni. Plumb, John N. May and W. A. Manda were elected trustees of the club. It was decided to hold the club's an- nual dinner at the time of the annual meeting of the executive committee of the S. A. F. Messrs. John N. May, Walter Sheridan and Charles Weath- ered were appointed a committee to make arrangements for this event. F. W. Kelsey brought up the mat- ter of delays in the transmission of goods through the custom house. After long discussion the matter was re- ferred to the legislative committee. Mr. O'Mara has been appointed by the Merchants' Association as special rep- resentative of the florists and nursery trade. There will be an important meeting in January to look after trade interests and Mr. O'Mara will be glad to present any specific cases of delay; in any case write liim full particulars. Phil, Breitmeyer was present and made a few remarks, wishing the club the same success as the Detroit boys had with the S. A, F. Messrs. Siebrecht, Withers, Sheri- dan, Asmus and Atkins were appointed a committee to solicit subscriptions from the trade in general for the pro- posed permanent "Dewey Arch." The disposition of the club's gold and silver medals to be offered at the Rose Society's show in March was left with the board of trustees. Resolutions on the lamented death of the late Mrs. J. H. Taylor, Mi-s. John Morris and W. H. Brower were passed, ordered spread on the minutes, and copies sent to bereaved relatives. New fancy foliaged cyclamens were exhibited by Lehnig & W^nnefeldt, Hackensack, N. J. These specimens were remarkably well grown and were awarded cultural recommendation, with the request that they be shown again. Mr. C. W. Ward showed his fine new carnation Governor Roosevelt. The club's certificate was recommended in the usual form. Mr. Ward also ex- hibited a very promising numbered ■seedling, which was highly praised. Mr. Ward reported that he had visited Dailledouze Bros, in order to comply with the exhibition rules of the club and he heartily recommended their new carnation G66 the club's certificate. Another new carnation. No. 4, ex- hibited by Dailledouze Bros, was awarded a certificate subject to the us- ual rules. James Whitcomb Riley, also shown by the above, was highly com- mended, as were also Lulu Fischer, exhibited by Mr. Fischer, of Great Neck, L. I., and several seedlings from Lehnig & Winnefeldt. which the com- mittee recommended be shown again. 54 The Weekly Florists' Review. DECEMBER 14, 1899. The entertainment committee pro- vided refresliments and a general good time, which were attended to and enjoyed after the adjournment. VariouF Items. The annual dinner of the Westches- ter (N. Y.) County Gardeners' Associa- tion (to which your correspondent has received a cordial invitation) will be given at the Irving Hotel, Portchester, Saturday, Dec. 16, at 7 o'clock. Bob- ert Williamson, William Anderson and Robert Jenkins, Jr.. comprise the com- mitte of arrangements. Mr. E. Jansen, the well known bas- ket manufacturer, has recently sold considerable of his property on Nine- teenth street to Altman Bros., the large dry goods firm. Mr. Jansen is busy attending to the erection of a fine new building, No. 112, 114 and 116 West Eighteenth street, which he in- tends to occupy in time for the con- vention next August. The regular monthly meeting of the New York Gardeners' Society was held at the Grand Central Palace. Satur- day, Dec. 9th. The officers for the ensuing year were elected as follows: President, William Bartholomae; Vice- President, Adolph Welsing; Secretary, Joseph A. Manda; Treasurer, Frank Pierkovsky. We regret to inform you that Mr. John H. Taylor had one of his legs broken in a recent carriage accident. Bowling Today.

Penman 113 Stewart 124 J. I. D. CHICAGO. The Market. The majority of the wholesalers re- port the market easier on roses and carnations, except Beauties. Good Beauties are exceedingly scarce. Aside from Beauties, there now seems enough of everything to go around, though the quality is not up to the standard for the season. Violets are moving much less freely and at times there is a suplus. Romans and nar- cissus also move more slowly. There is practically no change in quotations, though these are not so stiffly held in many cases as last week. There is quite a variety of opinions as to the outlook for Christmas sup- ply. The present dark weather causes many to fear a serious shortage. Growers say the buds are there, but they must have sun to open them. And some who were confident of hav- ing a crop in for Christmas say thev won't have the real thing till later, especially if the present weather con- ditions continue. A good deal of guessing is being done as to Christmas prices. The only list yet definitely adopted is that of Bassett & Washburn, which is as follows: Beauties, per doz., extra long, $12 to ?15; 24-inch, ?9 to ?10; 20-inch, $8; 15-inch, $6; 12-inch, $4; 8-inch. $2. Brides and Maids, extra, ?15 per 100; No. 1, $12; No. 2, $8; Meteor, extra, $18; No. 1, $15; No. 2, $10; Perles, No. 1, $12; No. 2, $8. Carnations, extra fancy, $8; fair aver- age fancy, $6; No. 1 common, $4; No. 2, $3. And Mr. Washburn says they will have no Beauties to sell outside of regular orders. They will, how- ever, have a fine crop of teas. Pros- pects for carnations dubious. Kennicott Bros. Co. think that there will be enough to go around at Christ- mas, with the exception of Beauties. Their advice is, "Don't order Beau- ties." E. C. Amling thinks Christmas quo- tations will run about the same as for the last two years ($12 to $15 on tea roses), but that roses will be held at outside quotation, and that carna- tions will go up to $5. Christmas comes on Monday, which means that much of the shipping will be done on Sunday, and it should not be forgotten that express trains are not so frequent as on week days. This should be borne in mind in plac- ing orders, and probably quite a few shipments will be made on Saturday instead. In view of this condition, growers had best have as much of their cut reach the commission man on Sat- urday as possible. Don't hold back till the last day under any circumstances. "Holding back helps the big gi-ower out, as it gives him a chance to clear out his whole cut at good figures be- fore the other fellows get their stock in," is the way one of the big grow- ers puts it. But the result is really bad for all. McKellar & Winterson think there will be flowers enough for all at rul- ing rates if the growers will keep their cut coming-in. They will have a good supply of poinsettias for Christ- mas, as will also E. H. Hunt. The supply of bouquet green has ma- terially increased during the past week and there promises to be sufiicient green and holly for all demands. Various Items. We hear rumors of important changes among the wholesalers that are to take place Jan. 1. The leading retailers in the resi- dence sections are doing a splendid business, having a heavy run of dec- orations for "coming out" parties. Fine roses are largely used at these affairs, and many of them are taking place on Saturdays. C. A. Saniuelson used 1,200 Bridesmaids in such dec- orations last Saturday. Mr. C. J. Stroniback has fully recov- ered from his recent illness and is again attending to his duties at Lin- coln Park. The bowling team has joined the American Bowling League and is team No. 6 in that organization. They will play their first league games next Fri- day evening, 15th inst. Mr. E. Dailledouze, Flatbush, N. Y., is in the city. Branches of a very pretty red ber- ried shrub called "Winter Berry" have been very freely sold in this market lately. It is Ilex verticillata (syn. Prunus verticillata). The stems are devoid of foliage, but the berries are very plentiful and bright in color and the branches have been used with very fine effect. PHYSOSTEGIA "VIRGINIANA ALBA. We present herewith an engraving from a photograph of a white form of this native American perennial which was sent to us by Mr. C. K. Schneider, Darmstadt, Germany, who writes that in the nurseries of Mr. H. Henkel, in that city, many hundreds of the plants are to be seen and that they supply large quantities of flowers for cutting. In these nurseries the plants begin to bloom July 1, and continue in bloom till autumn. The type, which bears pinkinsh white flowers, is indigenous to the vicinity of Chicago, and is found plen- tifully on wet banks. It bears the common name of False Dragon Head. The white form is undoubtedly a de- cided improvement on the type and should be useful in American gardens. BUFFALO. Trade Conditions. A big snowstorm that came so sud- denly that it prostrated the trolley lines, with one zero night and now dark, rainy, sloppy weather, are the climatic features we have to record for the past seven days. As we have no bowling to record, we must fall back on the weather. We suspect it is the elements, of which we are all so much the creatures, that accounts for the great scarcity of flowers. Of violets and carnations there is a great short- age, much more so than is u.-ual. This will have to be a plant Christmas with many. Holly has arrived, and if it is all as good as that supplit-d l)y our Mr. Kast- ing, we are in hi k. His first consign- ment of two carloads is splendid. We can feel in the air tliat this is going to be an "old - fashioned" Christmas. Greenery of all kinds will be used to an immense extent. Rhododendron sprays from the Adirondacks will this year mingle its somber green with other products of the forest. A Trip to Hamburg.^ ~ H^. ~ We took a jaunt to Hamburg, Erie county yesterday to visit that good grower and thorough student of his business, C. T. Guenther. The place is not yet eighteen months old, but DECEMBER 1-f, 1S99. The Weekly Florists^ Review. 55 Physostegia Virginiana Alba. much has been done in that short time. There are eight or nine houses, mostly 100x20, and entirely devoted to roses and carnations, well built, steam heated and what is most gratifying to the writer, there is not an ounce of putty on the whole place. The next time some presumptuous young man slaps me on the back and says: "W. S.. you ought to know better than talk this butted glass fad," I hope to have Mr. Guenther at my side. He will shut him up if I can't. Mr. G. worked in Germany, England and several of the very best places in this country and has seen for himself, and now he says: "I would not dream of ever do- ing anything but butt my glass." His roses. Brides, Bridesmaids and Kaiserins, are in grand order. Most of his carnation houses are looking splendid. The exceptions are those planted in solid beds in the spring. They are by no means bad, but Mr. G. says no more of it for him. He will in future put them all in the field and lift very early in August. What to grow in carnations is be- ginning to be a puzzle, as it was with muma a few years ago. Mr. G. says: 'T like Flora Hill; it is early and pro- ductive," and I agree with him, al- though his White Clouds are immense. He likes Mrs. Joost and so do I: it Is destined to entirely supersede Scott. Mrs. Bradt with him is free and mag- nificent. As he grows Armaaindy it is indispensable. Triumph will have to go, but Victor is large, free and profit- able. It is pleasant to see Genesee so well done as it is here, but the great- est revelation was a bench' of Red Jacket, grand stem, fine flower, and lots of them. My opinion of Red Jacket was that it always looked prom- ising but you never realized, but now I am convinced that it can be grown well and profitably. Sub-Watering. Mr. Guenther can show you his ex- periment with sub-watering. He has sixteen feet of bench about five feet wide, beneath which is a galvanized iron tray; on that are the bricks, and then four inches of soil. It is Prof. Arthur's plan carried out faithfully. Excepting the first watering when planted (three months ago), the bed has only received water from below. An adjoining sixteen feet is bricks stood close together on the ordinary bench and soil on top of them, and watered, of course, on the surface. Next comes the usual board bench. All one variety. The sixteen feet of true sub-watering looks slightly better than any and the brick drainage a trifle better than the ordinarj' bench. But the difference between all is not very marked. Mr. Guenther says rather decisively tliat the expense of the water-tight bench and bricks precludes its commercial use. Before we left Mr. G. showed us the use of the "Aphis Punk," which he says destroys fly to a certainty, and after repeated trials cannot see the least harm that it has done to the roses. It certainly emits nicotine enough to make a Baggs or a cat sneeze. The visit was profitable and pleasant and on the ride home we found ourselves singing the innocent little refrain that wo remember from our early musical education, "How pleasant it i'' at the close of the day no follljj 4..* ; lave to repent, but look back on the past and be able to say, my time has been properly spent." Plant and Flower Beggars. The most important club meeting in some years occurred last Wednesday. The begging and borrowing of palms and flowers for church fairs, bazaars and many other such affairs has grown to be an intolerable nuisance; not one beggar a day, but some of us get five and six a day. Not only is it a great tax on our business, but loaning out palms has actually belittled the busi- ness. A decoration of palms is no longer thought good taste for they can be seen every wiiere, even to a dog show; not very long since we had some palms at such an affair and they absorbed so much of the flavor of doggie that for months we had to say, when sending out palms for a decoration: "Be sure and don't take any of the dog palms." Why should we give away incessant- ly a bunch of flowers to every fussy, cheeky individual who wants to do something for charity? So much could be said on the subject, and doubtless we are not the only ones; other cities suffer likewise. It has come to a stop here, and suddenly. We have all signed an agreement that, after the 15th of Dec. all solicitations for donations will be refused. Every florist has de- posited a sum of money with the pres- ident of the club, which, on proof ot violation of the agreement, will be for- feited. A copy of the agreement will be giv- en every one of us and we intend to have it neatly framed, so when Mrs. Chronic Sympathy wants a few palms and a few flowers for the seventeenth anniversary of the Cold Water Section of the Daughters of Rebecca, we shall show her in big type our agreement, and if all will stick to it loyally this scourge to our business is at an end, and the earnestness of all in the busi- ness portends its success. Of course, there are some fine people who spend their money with you free- ly and seldom or ever ask a favor, but if they should, and then it would only be for a public hospital, we have pro- vided to meet such cases. The text of the business agreement, as well as that we have to show our customers, will be gladly furnished you when you have time to print it. There are a few sweet souls in the world who have in their hearts, or rather in their heads, the feeling that was taught the early Christians, "that it is better to give 56 The Weekly Florists' Review* DECEMP.KR 14. 1S99. than receive," but by far the greatest number of our nominal Christians are less removed from the hog. David, the Son of William. David J., the fifth son of William Scott, has left home to worlv for Mr. Robert Craig & Son, of Philadelphia. We feel sure he will work hard, but we are not so sure that he will awake in time. "Read, mark, learn and inward- ly digest." Some of us wish we had made better use of our time when young. Then we could have easier times now. W. S. ST. LOUIS. Business Conditions. So far this month the business with retail florists has been satisfactory, and w'ith the holidays close at hand, we will have nothing to complain of. Nearly all the florists are busy mak- ing wreathing, wreaths, bells, stars, and other holiday goods. The store fronts are beginning to look Christmassy. A few of our large department stores are this year handling greens of all kinds. Union Market is full of it, and by next week the street fakir will be selling wreaths and wreathing in place of flowers. Most of the growers seem to think tliat they will have a large crop for Christmas; of course much depends on the weather. We sincerely hope the growers will not think of pickling their roses this year, as no doubt they have learned better by this time. It is different with carnations, vio- lets and other flowers, which can be kept back with perfect safety. Shipping trade was not up to the average the past week. Quite a lot of Christmas orders have been placed; still, many of the retailers are hold- ing off until they know something of the prices likely to prevail. It is not expected that very high prices will rule, but no doubt they will advance some-what the first part of the week. Beauties are still scarce, and first quality brings $4 per dozen. Some extra fine Meteors sold as high as $5 to $7 per 100; Bridesmaids are rather poor color and not good sellers; Brides and Perles are in good de- mand and the average price for these is $5 per lOO. Violets are still scarce and are kept at $1 tor Calif ornias; small singles, .50 cents. In bulb stock, good valley holds up to $1 and there is quite a lot of it sold at $3. Romans continue plenty and the supply is much greater than the demand. The same may be said of paper whites. Aspara- gus seems to sell better than smilax this season. Notes. Ellison & Tesson are making a fine display at 625 Olive street of holiday goods. Their front is very tastefully decorated. Mr. Alex. Siegel, who recently open- ed a store at 720 Olive street, says the location is good and that business is better than ever before with him. Connon Floral Co., at Webster Grove, are cutting some very fine Beauties and other cut flowers. This is their first year growing for the mar- ket. The bowling club will do but lit- tle, if any, bowling before the holi- days, but after the busy time is over we shall begin in earnest and perfect ourselves for the gi'eat New York contest, which, no doubt, will be the grandest in the history of the S. A. F. Bowling. The Bowling Club rolled four games on Monday night with six members present, and some good scores were made, Kunz being high man on the night and Sanders high on single score. The scores made were as fol- lows: 12 3 4 Tot. Av. .T. W. Kunz 162 161 139 175 637 159 C. C. Sander.s 132 143 1S2 158 615 154 Carl Beyer 149 125 133 170 677 144 C. A.

B. day morning of this week, destroyed their chance to make a dollar for a day or two at least, but as this hap- pened too recently for me to know the particulars we can only hope the dam- age is no more. ; Our immaculate climatic conditions still continue, each attempt at a storm clearing away warmer and warmer. Grass is green and flourishing and ex- cept for the lack of flowers and leaves on the trees one might think an ad- vanced state of spring w-ere in vogue. Those who remember former years ex- pect a change some time between now and April 1st. By the way. if we get a cold snap before Christmas we shall have a famine in flowers at that date, perhaps. B. T. BOSTON. Some epigrammatist (not necessar- ily in the profession) has said that the presidential administration that takes up the least room historically is the best one. If that same rule works upon the weekly record of floral Bos- ton, last week was surely a good one because one sentence very neatly tells the whole story. The week started off with everything scarce and high and flnished up in the same shape, with the exception of car- nations, which had forgotten to keep shy and began to tumble in more plen- tifully, so that the figure upon them was crowded down. They have been selling at from 1% to 3 cents for the ordinary kinds and naturally a little more for fancy l)reeds, while the peer- less Lawson still retains its exclusive- ness to a great extent, but I have seen a few that did not come from the main camp at Ellis, and they were whole- saling at 8 to 10 cents each. There has been a fair supply of other mate- rial, too, and since the demand has been so good it may be supposed wo have got our winter form on and that trade will continue on present lines until after Easter at least. Kindly hope so for us. News also scarce and coming high. But E. M. Wood, with his well known adaptability for keeping up with the times, has laid at least the mental sills for two rose houses, each seven hun- dred feet long. One of them is intend- ed to shelter the American Beauty and the other shields the Liberty, so their loyalty to the national colors cannot be questioned. Ground is broken for them and the job will lie handled with accuracy and dispatch. A Are in the building containing the Calder Co."s establishment, on Mon- PITTSBURG. Cut flower trade is good. Retailers are all busy. Prices are good; stock scarce, not enough to go around. Con- siderable funeral work has been made up lately. T. M. Ulam had several large pieces, among them an express car very tastily made up. A few chrysanthemums are still to be had at a good price for fair flowers. A. W. Smith is well pleased with his new location and roomy store. The Pittsburg Cut Flower Company moved to a larger store room. No. 504 Liberty St., a central location, where they will be more able to handle their fast increasing trade. A full line of florists' supplies are on hand now, which is a convenience to their cus- tomers. F. Burki, Bellevue. has been cutting Harrisii for over a month. He reports them comparatively free from disease this year. He will have freesias be- fore Christmas. Other growers will have Harrisii to cut from now on. Stock of Ethel Crocker has been al- ready received from E. G. Hill. This new carnation and The Marquis have been quite largely ordered by Pitts- burg carnation growers. Asparagus plumosus and Sprengeri seem to be quite plentiful here. The Pittsburg Cut Flower Company are handling a great deal of both. Murdock's Fifth avenue window is always verv tastefully arranged. BEAR. EMPLOYEES. "Encourage your employees to study and thoroughly master the details of their work. It will make them more valuable employees as well as better men." This has been the advice of all thinking employers. Now is a good time to act upon this advice. Present your employee with a copy of the Florists' Manual, by William Scott. It is not only a hand- some volume that makes an attractive gift, but it contains the sort of mat- ter that will make your employees better workmen. You will benefit yourself as well as showing your em- ployee that you regard him as some- thing more than a mere machine. DECEMKKR 14, 1899. The Weekly Florists^ Review. 57 of Florists' Supplies M.

Have you heard of Cypress Greenhouse Material that has not been satisfac- Iv.y ;• If you have it does not follow that Cypress is not the best lumber to use. There is White Cypress, Yellow Cypress and Red Cypress; there is Cypress that grows on the high lands and Cypress that grows in the swamps. All of these different kinds are not suitable for greenhouse purposes. Do you know which kind is best and do you know that kind when you see it? If not you would better buy from iliose that do know and will deliver exai:tly what they sell. We introduced Cypress for greenhouse construction and pushed it to the front. We know all about it. For fifteen years we have made a specialty of furnishing it, and during this time we have built up a reputation that we can not afford to jeop- ardize. We send out the best only. Lockland Lumber Co.

Club Meeting. At a well attended club meeting on Tuesday night, Dec. 5, Mr. Paul Hueb- ner, landscape gardener for the Head- ing railroad read an interesting paper on landscape gardening for railroad corporations. Mr. Huebner is of .the opinion that each railroad should es- tablish its own outfit for the plants and shrubbery needed, and that from an advertising standpoint the floral decorations have great value. The monthly contest of the bowling club brought out an unusually large number, 41 taking part. A. J.

Permit me to reflect the opinions of our brother florists, as I gathered them during my recent travels, in ref- ence to Mr. Scott's Manual. Right here, however, I must confess being at a loss to do so, without arousing the reader's suspicion of exaggera- tion. Briefly stated, the consensus of opinion is that Mr, Scott has reared a monument, the Wke of which no florist in his position had ever at- tempted, a monument that reflects great credit upon his genius, his keen observation, his profound theoretical as well as practical knowledge of floriculture, one, in brief, which will immortalize his name and win him a host of admirers among florists yet unborn. Aside from the vast range of sub- jects embraced in this truly great work, a feature of inestimable merit, what is being equally admired and commented upon, is his inimitable style, his clear diction, and his point- ed "no two ways about it" manner of treating things. As a work of reference, no book of its kind equals it; as a practical "hand guide" (I can think of no more appropriate term), it is pre-eminently the only one of its kind. That the present edition will, or ought to be, exhausted ere long, is the opinion of all those who would not part with Scott's Manual for its "weight in gold." S. S. SKIDELSKY. PASADENA, CAL.

At the last meeting of the Ken- tucky Society ot Florists, the follow- ing officers were elected tor the ensu- ing year: C. F. Woods, Pres. ; T. B. Rudy, Vice-Pres.; Henry Lichtefeld, Kec, Secy.; Joseph Coenen, Fin. Secy.; H, Kunzman, Treas,; Jacob Schulz, Sentinel; Henry Fuchs, trustee. On Tuesday, January 2, the imstallation of the new officers will take place, and a good attendance is expected. Business is not very brisk at pres- ent and has been quiet all this fall. The prosperity wave has not yet reached our florists. Everything we have to buy is higher, and what we have to isell is lower in price than for years. Chrysanthemums are about over. Plenty of Romans and P. W. narcis- sus are coming in, the latter not so good as last year. Mr. T. B. Rudy raised this summer some of the largest tomatoes ever seen here, some weighing as high as 3% lbs. It is a variety that he has im- proved and that is not yet in the mar- ket. Jacob Schulz and Nanz & Neuner each had a public show of chrysan- themums. Both cut blooms and pot plants were very fine. Mr. Henry Lichtefeld raised a nice lot of very fine Chrysanthemums. H. Walker & Co., on Fourth avenue, Tiave the conservatories back of their store tilled with a line lot of palms, ferns and other decorative plants. KY. GRAND RAPIDS. There has bci-ii no marked change in the i-ondition of the market since last report. Mums are done and owin,u; to their being past, caused an extra demand on roses and carnations; in fact we have seen no oversujjply for some time, and carnations arc now ii|) to 2 and 2i,i> cents on common sorts; fancy a shade higher. The usual dull weather caused a lull in trade, but as stock is short and Christmas near at hand prices remain very firm all around, Roses going at ?1 to $1.25 per doz.; violets, 25 to 30 cents; Romans and paper whites, 50 to 75 cents. All the stores are busy, and shipping trade is at its height. The season up to now has been the best known in Grand Rapids for years. Crops seem to be oft and it looks as if stock would be more than short for Christmas. One thing of note is that there are less lilooming plants than usual at this time of year. Prices are now considered at the top, Init at these prices there will not be enough to fill orders. One thing is true. Grand Rapids must base its prices on Chicago, and a look at Chi- cago notes makes the home growers put on their thinking caps, for Chi- cago offers more, at wholesale, than the prospects are of our getting at re- tail, GEO.

We hope all ot you have had a fair share of orders and that business has been better than in recent years. Florists richly deserve whatever success they can wring out of trade, for theirs is largely a life of spe- culation and anxiety, handling the most perishable of goods, dealing with the most exacting parts in human na- ture. Yes. boys and girls, some there are who think all in it is gold and sun- shine, but we ourselves know there is lots of misery and hard work. Christmas is mostly an awe inspir- ing event in floriculture. It is a tug of war for existence with many a flor- ist. The public begrudge him his due, aye, even the grower considers that the retailer is getting the best of him at Christmas. We were just thinking what a vast change has come over our business, anyhow. Up to a very few years ago every one used to work days and nights for weeks before Christmas getting greens ready, preparing boxes and baskets, and clearing the decks for the great rush. Everyone would surely have to work all night Christ- mas Eve. Nowadays there are scarce- ly any preparations made at all, and very few have to work all night. Four or five hundred boxes of flow- ers used to be a feature in the Broad- way stores then, but now 'tis rarely if ever the case. Yet the volume of business is forever increasing: many do not see it so, because it is scat- tered. Even at this late date we are not able to say what this year's trade will be. Weather has been against cut flowers, though good for plants. The general feeling is for a very good business. Prices will not differ very much from other years, unless they be a shade lower. Good Beauties will, as usual, be scarce, and will probably retail at from $18 to $24 per dozen- that is, for top grades; others, of course, will run from these figures down to $.5. No Hybrid Perpetuals are on the market, which fact is to be regretted. Meteors come next, and the finest of these will sell at from $6 to $10; Brides, Bridesmaids, Morgans, Testouts and Victorias will bring $.5, a few $11, most of them $4 to $3. Of carnations, ordinary ones will be plentiful and will be sold for from $1 per dozen up; fancy varieties will be popular and good prices will be asked — that is, from $2.50 up to $5. There will not be much of a raise in bulbous stock; narcissus $1 per doz.; valley, from $1.50 to $2.50 per bunch of 25; Romans, 75 cents per doz.; vio- lets will be the most unsatisfactory flower — yes. more so than ever this time; there are a quantity of good ones, but not sufficient to go 'round. This will hurt the violet, for the most ardent lover of that flower grumbles if asked to pay more than $5 per 100, even for the best. They will run from that to $3. Harrlsiis are expected to bring about $5 per doz. Mignonette is grown in too many sizes to fix a price on, but the big spikes will sell at $2 to $4. Poinset- tias are of many grades in quality and can be sold from 35 cents to 75 cents each; Eucharis amazonica, $5 per doz.; sweet peas, $1.50 per bunch of 25; gardenias. 75 cents to $1.25 each; Japan quince, $1 to $1.50 per branch; Cypripedium insigne. $4 per doz, fancy varieties, $5; other flowers at prices quoted last week. Every retailer knows or should know that prices are largely a ques- tion of circumstance; the higher prices can only be gotten for very su- perior grades of stock and from the high class trade. There are many who will sell — aye, be compelled to sell — for very little higher prices than they themselves paid for the stock, and in some cases this has to be done in the grandest of stores and to the richest of people. Every store- keeper has more or less trouble to put up with; none entirely escapes the suspicion of being an extortionist. If there is anything we can put up a price on, it is either quality of work or novelties; with novelties of course are included rare or very scarce flow- ers. Take, for instance, a pretty bunch of sweet peas, clover, quince, lilac, cherry, extra fine orchids, or any such flowers; you are justified in demanding good big prices for such stock, just the same as other lines of business ask fancy figures for ex- clusive patterns or designs. Whilst almost any kind of flowers are accept- able to the recipients on iiic • i morning, still it is not always safe to do as we please, throw anything Into a box and fire it out; if we do so we either lose that customer or hear un- pleasant things from them. There are many who expect the best from you, even if the sender refused to pay the price, and these very same senders know that you dare not send this particular person anything but your best; in such cases it is always best to' either substitute or send less in quantity but more in quality. Delivery of goods is a mighty Im- portant matter. Don't pick up any badly dressed sloven; get the neat- est and most intelligent messengers you can and compel them to carry the flowers carefully. All your "flxin's" can be spoiled by one rude shake of the box. When arranging flowers in a box or tying them into a bunch, use as much care as possible in the matter of bar mony. Of course you can use con- siderable latitude in the case of what are called spring flowers. The follow- ing are a few combinations which go well; Scott carnations and yellow daisies; cypripediums, mignonettes and Meteors; valley and forget-me- not; or valley and sweet peas; Test- outs or La France and white lilac; Beauties and lilies; Meteors and Jes- samine; pink, yellow, and crimson carnations. Most perfect flowers will look best by themselves. A bunch of valley is permissible in almost any box of flowers. Care should be taken not to have white in the majority where flowers are sent to a sick per- son. Cut the ends of all bunched stock. They will look fresher, and be care- ful what kind of string they are tied with. Bunches of flowers such as valley, myosotis, sweet peas, etc., will look all the better if wrapped corner- wise-end-open in white or tinted paper and tied with No. 1 ribbon of the same color; this is, of course, for special boxes. Many special boxes are this Christmas being tied with silk ribbon, spray of holly or mistletoe in the bow. New Y'ear's Day, which used to be even better than Christmas, is now no better than an average good Sat- urday to the trade. Remember, suit- able greens in a box is a great help when flowers are scarce. Cut some Boston ferns for the big ones, such as lilies, etc. IVERA. TOBACCO ASHES. Would the ashes from burned to- bacco stems be beneficial as a top dressing between bench roses? Would they be good for carnations? Which method is best to sweeten soil on rose benches — lime water or a sprinkling of air-slaked lime? ENQUIRER. Have never used tobacco ashes as a top dressing, but believe it would be beneficial if not overdone. There is nothing injurious in tobacco. Have seen the decayed stems plowed in as manure and productive of fine crops. 76 The Weekly Florists^ Review. DBCEMBfiR ai, 1899. If the I'ose bed is troubled with worms to the extent that they are in- juring the roses, then a watering with lime water would most quickly rid the soil of them. A lump of lime, say 2 lbs., dissolved in 50 gallons of water, will fix the worms. If it is not worms that are troubling the bed, but the surface of the bed gets dirty, then a sprinkling of air- slaked lime just sufficient to whitta the surface will be of benefit and not the slightest harm to the roses. WM. SCOTT. COLD vs. WARM WATER. A note by Professor Craig, in the issue of December 7, discussing the influence of cold water on the growth of plants, prompts me to give a brief review of the work done at the Wis- consin station, that readers of The Review may be better able to compare results. A variety of plants were watered with ice water — among others, b:ans. tomatoes, coleus, geraniums, and be- gonias. Similar plants were watered with water at 50 deg.. at 70 deg., and at 100 deg. After trials covering two years, it was concluded that: 1. Water at as nearly the freezing point as was possible to obtain pro- duced short jointed and stocky plants, but in no case affected the health or vigor of the plants. Coleus plants so treated were excellent in every re- spect, with well developed colors and healthy foliage. 2. There was no discernible differ- ence between the plants of coleus, geraniums, etc., watered with water at 50 deg., and at 70 deg., but in the case of the vegetables a slight dif- ference was noted in the yields. 3. Water at lOO deg. in many cases caused a rather spindling growth in the case of the coleus, etc.. but affect- ed the yield of the tomatoes, etc., but little. The above refers to plants grown in pots and raised on benches. Similar results were obtained with plants in solid beds and in the open, ground. I fail to note that the results dif- fer greatly from those obtained at the Iowa Experiment Station, except In the case of coleus. One point cited by Professor Craig is worthy of care- ful consideration by every greenhouse man. viz.: "Tliere was practically no difference in the results secured by the use of water between 45 deg. and 75 deg." Similar results were ob- tained at the Wisconsin station. This is really the important point, and the one that affects the florist. It is not expected that florists will use water at 34 deg. nor at 100 deg.; These points were selected, in our work here, as the extremes, with in- termediate temperatures that moie nearly represent the temperature of water used in greenhouses. If the temperature of water avail- able for use in the greenhouse is 45 deg., will it pay to put in an expensive tempering apparatus to raise it to 75 deg.? In the light of our pi-esent knowledge of the subject, it Is rea- sonably safe to say that money might be expended more profitably in other directions. FREDERIC CRANEPIELD. AMERICAN ROSE SOCIETY. The preliminary list of premiums to be awarded at the first exhibition of the American Rose Society, to be held at the Eden Musee. New York citv, March 27, 28 and 29, 1900, has been issued. It is certainly a very liberal prize list and should bring out a fine display. Class A is open to all, and liberal first and second prizes are of- fered in 31 named sorts, 25 blooms of each. Class B covers about the same varieties, but only 12 blooms are called for and competition is limited to those having not more than 20,000 feet of glass devoted to the culture of roses. Class C takes in pretty much the same sorts, but is open to private garden- ers and amateurs only. Class D calls for 16 sorts of hybrid perpetuals, and is open to all, 12 blooms each and two prizes in each case, and there are liberal special premiums for 50 distinct named va- rieties one of a kind; 20 varieties one of a kind; and collection named varie- ties, 12 blooms of each. Class E also covers hybrid perpetuals, but is open to private gardeners and amateurs only, as are also Class P, devoted to pot plants. Class H is devoted to standard roses; and Class I devoted to climbing roses in pots. Class G covers climbing roses in pots and is open to all. Class J provides for the award of certificates to new varieties not yet in commerce and of cash prizes to blooms of varieties of recent intro- duction. Class K contains eight splendid special prizes for blooms of various sorts, and it is stated that additions to this class will be an- nounced later. Copies of the list may be had by addressing Paul M. Pierson, Secre- tary. Scarborough, N. Y. Announcement is also made of an- other exhibition of roses to be held in New York next June. GOVERNMENT SEEDS, Secretary Wilson is giving the proper turn to the free seed distri- bution carried on by the government through his department. In a recent interview he said: "Congressmen can never be con- vinced that it is not for the good of the country for them to distribute free seeds. No. you will never abolish free seed distribution; but I will tell you what can be done. The distribu- tion of a new seed which will be of actual benefit to the farmer for an experiment can be substituted in place of sending him a package of breakfast radishes every year. There is not a farming section in the United States that knows it all — that cannot be improved by the introduction of new crops; but it will be a gradual matter to get farmers and congress- men to look at the matter in this light and to substitute free good seed for common ones. I tried to get some of the Virginia members to send out Vicia villosa seeds last year; they wouldn't touch it. I sent out some to Virginia farmers and they are de- lighted witlr it as a forage, feeding on it way up into the winter. Next year Virginia congressmen will get de- mands for Vicia villosa. "This sort of plan would be a sci- entific distribution of seeds. We could send Turkestan alfalfa all through the northwest where the or- dinary alfalfa winter kills. We have found a rice in Japan which may mean millions of dollars to the south; we will find crops for the rich, moist savanna country and we will find crops for the arid, sandy stretches. But yet congress has never yet directly appro- priated a cent for this work, and we have to shave and pare to make seed distribution a thing of benefit to the country." The sort of distribution advocated by Secretary Wilson is only what was contemplated by the law that first au- thorized free distribution. If he can succeed in carrying out the law as in- tended by its framers and prevent its further distortion by congress, the seed trade will make no complaint and free seed distribution will be of some real value to the farmers of the country. FLOWER SHOWS. Can a flower show be made to pay on its merits from the box office stand- point? W'e are pretty well convinced that it cannot where a heavy rental has to be paid in addition to the premi- ums and other expenses. But flower shows can be given, and the heavy ex- penses provided for if the right people are interested. It is, however, very difficult for a purely trade organization to secure the financial assistance necessary. This is much more easily obtained by a so- ciety officered and controlled by men who are merely lovers of flowers and without any trade associations. In such societies the major part of the work must still be done by those in the trade, but the powerful assistance of men of wealth is brought to bear upon the financial problem which in purely trade organizations is so diffi- cult to solve. A horticultural society with a large membership would be the ideal solu- tion of the question. The principal attraction to possible members would be the annual free pass to the exhibi- tions, and with a membership suffici- ently large the importance of fair weather during the exhibition week would be considerably lessened. In other words, the management has sold a large number of season tickets for which the money is already in the treasury regardless of what the weather may be. If the right people are interested at the start it is comparatively easy to secure the co-operation of others. Many will contribute liberally to the DECEMBER 21. 1S99. The Weekly Florists* Review. Range ot Rose Houses of Mr. George H. Trendley, Rowayton, Conn. Erected by Hitchings & Co., New York. support of an exhibition of flowers if they are convinced that they are rloing something purely for the advancement of good taste and that will reflect credit upon their city. Such will re- spond liberally to the requests of men whom they know to be entirely dis- interested, while they would pay little attention to representatives of a pure- ly trade organization. ARE FLOWER SHOWS BENEFICIAL TO FLORISTS? [Read before the Chicago Florists' Club. Dec. 1, by Edgar Sanders. ] I propose to take the broad ground that flower shows are beneficial to ev- ery florist in the city. I know there are some who will dispute the propo- sition; if he is present let him be heard. Nay. I go further, and assert that every display of flowers, in the parks, in the gardens, in the florists' stores, aye even in the streets, tends to encourage the use of flowers and create a demand therefor. If this is so, why are not these dis- plays beneficial to everybody in the trade? What we want is more buy- ers. The grower as first hand, the wholesaler as second, and the retailer as third distributor, needs no extra push nowadays to start or enter into the florist's business, nor ever did in my experience. He may, as to the best way after starting, to make a success of it. After fully half a century of con- nection with flower shows myself in one form or another, it's an enigma to me to find so few florists of this city lending them a helping hand. Not a few seem actually indifferent whether they visit them at all, except they can get in for nothing. Why, out of eas- ily 50(1 in the trade in this city, not 100 belong to either the Horticultural Society or the Florists' Club, which to my mind tells a strange story. If my assertion is correct, that shows are an educator of the masses to love flowers, they should be en- couraged in every way by those mak- ing a living from the sale of all horti- cultural products, -which you see takes in all kinds, from state and county fairs, exhibits at horticultural and florists' societies' monthly meetings, up to the grand yearly fall show of flowers. Suppose for a moment, in your estimation, a good many of the exhibits are rather tame affairs. Do your share to improve them. Surely none will dispute, if a flower show, in whatever form, encourages a taste for flowers, and causes more to be used, the grower can have no kick coming. Has it not been a fact that at every one of our fall shows prices for all good stock rises during that week, however dull the trade has been before? This being so, we opine the wholesale man is equally benefited, as he gets bigger commissions by the booming of his trade. The retail man. taking him in all his varied phases, may possibly kick at anything that tends to increase the prices of the flowers he wants to buy. But low prices and gluts are the bane of the business, bad for everybody but the fakir. We will leave him to fight his own battles. He after all flourishes mainly through overproduc- tion. If the growers cannot, or will not. adjust supplies to demand, which, after all, controls prices, there is bound to be trouble, as there is at times in everything obtained from the field and garden. High or fancy prices long continued is not a favorable condition of the market in the long run, any more than gluts and ruinous prices. If pe- riodical gluts must come, you w^ill have either to destroy enough flowers to bring an equilibrium, either at the greenhouses or in the commission house, or put up with these gentry one hears of so much, but who in the time of low prices get rid of as many flowers as those we are accustomed to call legitimate florists. I claim if a florist in any of the di- visions feels like aspiring to the top of his calling, he had better weigh well any thought he may have that he can afford to give societies and flower shows the cold shoulder. The grower needs the stimulus that a competitive exhibit of his stock against that of his neighbors may give him. It may take down a little of the conceit that he alone has the best that is going. Will you, for example, you retail men, for a moment cast your thoughts back during the shows in this city during the past ten years and note the names, for example, of the prize winners, say of decorative materials, tables, mantels, etc.? Would not the story tell who commanded the cream of the trade of the time? Yes, there is surely darker in your standing aloof. The public, your customers, will he apt to be impressed by what they see. Consider the old adage— "To him that hath shall be given." I have not touched on the advanta- 78 The Weekly Florists' Review. DECEMBER 21, 1S99. ges of flower shows in encouraging new productions -in the way of plants and Dowers. Something new and fash- ionable to strike the public fancy is what all progressive florists should aim at. Strike out for something no- vel and taking, and once obtained push it for all it is worth. Most suc- cessful men find great help from new things. Set your wits to work that you may also for a time enjoy the monopoly of something or other. In conclusion, to me a florist who sees nothing helpful in flower shows reminds me of a Niagara Falls story I heard the other day. A Canadian police officer tells it something like this: "A Pennsylvania Dutchman hove in the other day and asked the ofiicials at the Falls if there was any- thing about the place worth seeing. •'You see," he said, " it's shust like dis. My frients and frau told me I should take id in and I vant to take everyting in der iss to zee. Dey say dere vas someding great here und I forgot id alreatty, and haf walked all ofer und zee ncddings." The visi- tor was at once taken to the finest view of the Falls, where he stood a few minutes looking. "Well," said his conductor at last. "Veil," returned the man. "Don't you see the Falls?" "Vat, dot vater falling? Iss dot vat I coom all dis vays to zee — a liddle vater dripping? Jiminy, I go me home." Let me suggest we want a higher tone in this florists* business all round this city. We want a reading, think- ing body of men, not mere machines, that are content to plod on in a hum- drum way. Let us have progressive men, and they will patronize our soci- eties and take a deep interest in ev- erything connected with their calling. CHICAGO. The Market. The outlook for Christmas supply has improved somewhat since our last report. Several sunny days promise to materially improve the quantity and quality of roses and carnations. Ex- cept as to Beauties, rose orders will probably be fairly well filled. The demand has been strong and a very large number of advance orders have been booked. Kennicott Bros. Co. will have a large cut of Klehm's Gontiers and say that customers must not be surprised if these are sent in place of Meteors. They look for a fair supply of every- thing except Beauties. They are re- ceiving some very fine valley from E. G. Asmus. Mr. Pieser reports a sale of 3,000 P. W. narcissus to one party at ?3 a hundred, which was a great help, as this stock has been moving rather slowly. Mr. Spencer, of Reinherg Bros., says he anticipates a fair supply of everything except Beauties. McKellar & Winterson take a favor- able view of the outlook for Christ- mas supply. Among their Christmas specialties will be a splendid lot of poinsettias. They are already selling quite a number, and those already re- ceived are certainly of extra fine qual- ity. And they will have 3,000 of these for Christmas in addition to a large supply of the usual run of flow- ers. This firm has been doing an enormous business in green, holly and other Christmas goods. "They have been handling the "winter berry" in quantity and have sold over 50 cases to one local retailer. Bassett & Washburn say they will have a good crop of tea roses and car- nations, but will be short of Beauties. They have booked a very large num- ber of advance orders and say the proportion of highest grade stock called for is notably large. E. H. Hunt looks for a fair supply, but large advance orders will take it all. He reports a splendid trade in green and holiday supplies. Various Items. Mr. E. C. Amling has leased the large basement floor of the Trude Building, 32 to 36 Randolph St., and will remove to this location about January 1. Here he will have a space 70x80 feet, with remarkably hand- some finish, including marble wains- coting, mosaic floor, modern plumb- ing, handsomely fitted toilet rooms, etc. The fittings will be entirely new throughout and an ice box 8x14 is now being built. The light is good, ex- tending the full length of the Wabash Ave. side of the building. Mr. Heff- ron has planned the arrangement of the fixtures admirably, and when com- pleted this will certainly be a strik- ingly handsome and convenient whole- sale cut flower establishment, as well as an unusually large one. Mr. Am- ling's business has been growing with great rapidity and a move to larger quarters was imperative. He will now have abundant room for further expansion. The firm of Reinberg Bros, has been dissolved by mutual consent, to take effect January 1, and thereafter each of the two brothers will have his own city salesroom. Peter Reinberg will retain the present quarters and George Reinberg will take the place now oc- cupied by E. C. Amling, having pur- chased the latter's lease and fixtures. Thus the brothers will still be on the same floor and as close together as possible. The old quarters had become too small for the two. The partner- ship really extended only to the city salesroom, the greenhouse establish- ments at Summerdale having always been managed as separate concerns. Archie Spencer will continue in charge of the present salesroom for Mr. Peter Reinberg, and Robert Northam. one of Mr. Spencer's present assistants, will manage Mr. George Reinberg's new salesroom. Mr. E. F. Winterson moved Into his new house recently and to celebrate the event invited a lot of his friends to a berry party. The berries were in the decorations on the table and around the room and were of the "Winter"-son variety. Thirty-six pick- ers sat down to the table and berried within themselves a most enjoyable dinner, including an English plum pudding of aldermanic proportions. The club quartette did its duty royal- ly and there was instrumental music, too. Mr. Winterson never does things by halves and all present enjoyed themselves most heartily. The berry party in December was voted a decid- ed success. The bowling team played its flrst league games last Friday evening and. not wishing to hurt the feelings of the members of the opposing team, allowed them to win each of the three games. A. C. Kohlbrand has taken a posi- tion with Mosconosotes. BUFFALO. Outlook for Christmas. From present outlook Christmas trade will be good. There is at this writing more inquiry for decorative material than we ever remember. Met- ropolitan florists may disdain to deal in holly, but we have to. The flower growers need not complain that plants have taken the place of their product for they will be sure to sell all they have and at most excellent prices. Still it will be a great plant time and Buf- falo is well supplied with good plants of the leading kinds. We are awfully glad to see that the poinsettia will be in good demand, for then we shall be strictly in it. The fan- cy basket filled with plants is very at- tractive, but it is slightly above our rank and not lasting enough. A goo 1 palm or dracaena is preferred when money is plentiful. Some Decorations. There is a decided increase in social events over the past flve or six years. An elaborate and co.stly decoration at the Twentieth Century Club was lately done by W. J. Palmer & Son. An im- mense amount of wild smilax and wreathing was used and one item was 100 fine poinsettia plants. The follow- ing day a very swell dance called for some more fine decorations. White azaleas and yellow chrysanthemums were the feature in the reception room and green and scarlet in the ballroom. Laurel, sweet bays, Boston ferns, holly and poinsettias filled the bill. A dinner at the Buffalo Club de- serves mention, for although the work of W. S. it was a little out of the com- mon. The round table was 20 feet in diameter, seating thirty men. From the lofty ceiling over the center of the table ran strings of ground pine (100 of them), and extending to five feet outside the table, eight feet from the ground, and then dropping four feet, so the table and guests were inside a circus tent of green. In center of table was a mass of poinsettias five feet in diameter and not over fourteen Inches high; this took 100 4-inch plants. Thiej feet from the center bed and at inter- vals of three to four feet were stood 10-inch pans of poinsettia, in which were six plants not over twelve inches high. All unoccupied space was covered DECEMBER 21, 1S99. The Weekly Florists^ Review. 79 ■with liolly sprays, and the only part of the tahlecloth visible was a margin of two feet aroiiiul the edge of the table. There were no orchids or American Beauties. It was simple but most effective. And Admiral Sampson aim Capt. Chadwick aiul tlio other twenty- eight diners thought it was just riglit. I forgot to say that an 8-foot ring six feet above the table was studded with electric lights. Everybody could see everybody else's top vest button across the table, and that is what they •wanted. We have had all kinds of weather within a week and the change is going on hourly, so we don't know what to expect. Good sleighing, bright weath- er, and not too cold, would best agree with our wishes. The Carnation Convention. We are awaking to the fact that on the 15th and 16th of February our city will see the greatest display of carna- tions that the world has ever seen, at least since the flood. And with them will come the men celebrated in their culture. Yesterday a commodious hall was secured for their reception. It is in the center of the city, on Main street, and large and light. There will be the need of placing "The Marquis" so near "Ethel Crocker" and "Gene- vieve Lord" that flirtations will occur, and Olympia can show broadside with- out being annoyed with smaller craft. There is also a most convenient ante- room where Mr. W. N. Rudd can call together the faithful members of his noble (?) auxiliary society, which I don't believe has had a genuine good meeting of the faithful since Philadel- phia last February. There has been a pretense at reunions, but the presi- dent, vice-president, secretary, treas- urer and board of lady managers was absent. W. S. LATE CHRYSANTHEMUM. We present herewith an engraving from a photograph of the new late pink chrysanthemum Miss Florence E. Denzer, which originated with Mr. Ant. C. Zvolanek, West Hoboken, N. J. It is a clear pink, in shape and size similar to Ivory, with narrow, dark green foliage and a stiff stem three feet long. It blooms at Christmas. ORANGE, N. J. "Ancient and Modern Floral Art" was the title selected by Mr. James I. Donlan for his talk before the New Jersey Floricultural Society on Wed- nesday, Dec. 6. He attacked it with his usual energy and held his hearers spellbound until nearly midnight. When he entered the room, accom- panied by numerous parcels of all sizes, one of the members thought it was a distribution of Christmas gifts and changed to a front seat, so as to be on hand. He seemed to have the wand of an en- chanter; his agile fingers worked as he talked, while with the same elements he produced wreath, garland or bou- quet. Nine years ago, said Mr. Don- lan, a man came to uu' and asked why he could not find as large carnations here as in London. "We have them," was the reply, and as he talked the speaker selected three Lizzie Mc- Gowans which, with a quick move- ment, he deprived of calyx and .seed vessel and, mingling the petals with another quick move, he deftly wound a wire around the whole, making one fine, large carnation — a model bouton- niere. "Why do you do that?" asked an under gardener, and for once the speaker left the realm of fancy and became the commercial florist, as he New Late Pink Chrysanthemum Miss Florence E. Denzer. replied, "Because it's better to gel twenty-five cents for this than five cents for those others. In making up the bouquet, avoid regularity; that is not floral art, and a few stems care- lessly mingled produces a better effect for corsage, or as a ffift to a sick friend, which may be a few red roses or carnations; if any white flowers are used at all, only one or two, and be careful to avoid anything which may suggest a funeral, and too maay white flowers do so. "In table decorations give attention to the green as carefully as anything, and do not measure one flower with another, but let each have a beauty of its own. Conceal any defect with one of the weaker blooms, and strengthen the weak stalk with wire, first stick- ing through the bulb and then winding around the stem; then you may bend it into any position also. Avoid a flat, level mass in bouquet or piece and conceal the stem with a flower." In his demonstration upon the tying of bows of ribbon, Mr. Donlan gath- ered the boys around him and at his earnest request one of them came for- ward to try his hand. It was Dave Rose, who remarked that "his wife us- ually tied the strings." Someone sug- gested he better learn, for she might get a divorce, and after a while he finally did tie one to satisfy his in- structor. The artist of today is returning to ancient floral art for his motifs. We have made no advance in the refine- ment of art, but we have in arrange- ment. The United States today leads the civilized world in the refinement of floral art, because we have the best element from all countries. Societies offer but little inducement to bring out this element, however. Do not bring a grower to judge your artistic arrange- ments for effect. There is as much beauty from an esthetic standpoint in the small flowers as the large, which indicate simply overfeeding, but add nothing to beauty in arrangement. In the election which preceded the address Peter Duff was re-elected pres- ident and Joseph B. Davis was made vice-president. Both being the only nominations, were elected by acclama- tion, and in the balloting which fol- lowed George Smith was elected secre- tary and Malcolm MacRorie treasurer. J. B. D. ST. LOUIS. Club Meeting. On Thursday, the 14th, the regular monthly meeting of the Florists' Club was held, this being the first meeting since the flower show. The meeting opened with President Ammann in the chair and about twelve members pres- ent. More were expected, but the ap- proaching holiday rush no doubt kept many away. The executive committee made a report showing a loss of about $1,000. This is not a final report, as all the prize money has not yet been collected. The Shaw prize money was on hand and the treasurer was ordered to pay this out at once. Not before the next meeting will the committee be able to make a final report and pay out what money is on hand. A euchre party, same as last year, will be given for the benefit of the prize winners, which will be given the latter part of January or early in Feb- ruary. The president appointed a committee of three, consisting of F. C. Weber, John W. Kunz and J. J. Beneke, to assist the trustees, who have the matter in charge, in making it a grand success. Mr. J. W. Kruse was elected a mem- ber of the club, and Mr. Chas. Con- non, Sr., made application for mem- bership. The next meeting of the club our annual carnation exhibition will take place, and the secretary was instructed to correspond with growers of new 80 The Weekly Florists^ Review, DECEMBER 21, 1S99. carnations to send a few of their new ones for inspection. President Ammann made a few re- marlis, saying ttiat lie lioped in tlie new year tile members would attend the meetings oftener, which would make the meetings more pleasant. The city members, at least, should attend; the members from Kirkwood, Belle- ville and other suburban towns attend more regularly than they do. This closed the last meeting of the year of 1S99. The first meeting in the new year will be held on Thursday afternoon, January 11, at 3 o'clock. Every florist in St. Louis and suburbs, whether member or not. is invited. The attraction will be our annual car- nation exhibition and two essays on carnation growing by prominent mem- bers of the club. The Market. The market is uncertain and will be all this week. Among the florists, the wholesalers were not overloaded, but had plenty for all demands, showing that stock was not scarce; even some roses and carnations went to the dump pile. Beauties, first selection, were the only roses that held up in price, sell- ing from $3 to ?6 per dozen; Brides, Meteors and Maids selling at $6 and $s per 100 for first choice; Perles and Woottons, $4 and $5, and from that down to $3 for seconds. Carnations are not so strong as they were. Good stock can be had for $1 per 100; ?2 and $2.50 Is the price for fancy stock. No longiflorum in the market. A few callas are coming in and sell at ?10. Romans and paper whites are surely a. glut and the best of stock is sold at $2 and $10 in 1,000 lots. Valley is also selling slowly. Violets are very scarce and Calitornias bring $1 and $1.50 for the best. Among the plants offered for Christmas are cyclamen, azaleas, poinsettias and begonias. They are in the market now and in fine condition. Sales on holiday greens are more than satisfactory and holiday goods of all kinds are in great demand. Some of the down-town florists claim that the demand so far is better than last year, and the business houses seem to be decorating their fronts more this year than ever before. With the West Knd florists the sale for greens and holly will not begin until this week, and with lots of orders booked, the outlook for a great Christmas trade is very bright. A Euchre Partv. A very pleasant euchre party was given On last Saturday night, Decem- ber 16, by Mr. and Mrs. Fred C. Weber at their home, 4326 Olive street, to a few of their friends in the trade. At 8:30 p. ni. five tables were filled with players, and the play continued until 10:30 p. ni., when the winners were announced. They proved to be Miss Meinhardt, who won first ladles' prize; Mrs. Kunz. second, and Mrs. Mein- hardt, third. .Tohn Young' won the first gentlemen's prize and Carl Beyer the second. Mr. C. C. Sanders had the good luck to win the booby prize, which caused much laughter. After the distribution of the prizes we all sat down to an elegant lunch. Among those present were: Mr. and Mrs. Fred Meinhardt and sister, Mr. and Mrs. John Young, Mr. and Mrs. Carl Beyer, Mr. and Mrs. John W. Kunz, Mr. and Mrs. Charles Kuehn, Mr. and Mrs. Frank Fillmore, Mr. and Mrs. J. J. Beneke. C. S. Sanders, Fred Weber, Jr., F. H. Weber, and Herman Weber. At 11 o'clock all went home and ex- pressed themselves as having had a good time. xVotes. Mr. John M. Hudson is again in the business, at 615 Locust street, dealing in all kinds of Christmas greens. You can't lose him. C. Young & Sons Co. make a very fine Christmas display in their large show windows, using red lights, which makes them look very attractive. Will C. Young is now at the down-town establishment and Harry and Jim are running the greenhouses. Fred C. Weber, Charlie Connon. Mrs. Ayers and other West End florists make fine Christmas displays in their stores and show houses. Most of them use red lights, which show off the goods to good advantage. J. J. B. NEW YORK. Christmas Notes. The weather continues to be very mild and the prospects are there will be plenty of stock this Christmas. Prices promise to be very moderate and everyone expects a good rush of trade. Just now flowering plants rule supreme; every store window is filled with them, resplendent in high colored baskets and ribbons. All are busy pre- paring for the rush. Holly has turned out somewhat better than we expected and there is the usual quantity of all manner of greens. It scarcely seems like Christmas. Only for reminders in the way of holly wreaths, mistletoe, piles of firs and slashes of red ribbon, 'twould seem more like the end of October. Some very fine samples of made up work (that is, plant baskets) are dis- played. There seems to be more care paid to harmony in arrangement, ana it looks as if it will not be the store- keepers' fault if this Christmas is not a record-breaker as far as sales are concerned. Steps should be taken to prevent the bottom being knocked out of the cut flower market. This can only be done on the basis of reasonable prices, which can only result in bene- fit to all. ■Variouf Items. Perhaps some of our readers will have noticed the amusing notices in the daily papers anent a new carnation on Broadway. You cannot blame any man for advertising his business, but it is to be hoped growers will look at such things in a right light. Robert Jenkins. Jr.. who has been secretary of the Westchester County Gardeners' Association since that soci- ety was organized, will shortly leave Rye, N. Y., to go into the real estate business in Brooklyn, N. Y. At the Metropolitan Club, Tuesday evening, J. W. Withers gave an inter- esting talk on "Strawberries every day in the year." The Tarrytown Horticultural Soci- ety will have their first annual dinner in the Vanderbilt building, Tarrytown, December 2Sth. A jolly good time is as- sured. The Bowling Club will not meet again until the evening of January 2. The scores tonight were: 1. 2. 3. 4. L. Hafner 109 15S 115 12» A. Burns 135 139 141 147 W. Siebreeht 139 129 151 138 W.

Frosts have made their appearance and have left their mark on outside chrysanthemums. Unless there are heavy frosts the Chinese growers keep bringing in these outside blooms until well on in spring, but the stuff is al- most worthless. Fancy inside blooms are nearly gone. Domoto Bros., the Japanese growers at Fruitvale, who are the largest growers of fancy chr.vs- anthemums for this market, have made their last cut. American Beauties are scarce and of poor quality. Prices range from $1 to $4 per dozen. Brides and Maids are of better grades, and bring from 50 cents to $1 per dozen. Some nice poin- settias are in the market. They come from R. T. Whittlesey, Los Angeles, and bring $7 to .$9 per 100 whole- sale. Bradts, Flora Hills and Gold Nuggets are selling at 35 cents, ana Scotts and Portias at 15, 20, and 25 cents a dozen. Some nice pans of Ro- man hyacinths are to be seen and they sell well. Business is good and prices will be better in a week or so. E. W. McLellan & Co., the Burlin- game growers, have opened a whole- sale store at 23 Union Square Ave. They close at noon after Dec. C. "The Flower Basket," at 117 Grant Ave., is empty once more. Mrs. E. Fredericks, who has made several at- tempts to open a store under the above name, has failed, and the place is now to let. James Stevenson had the decoration of the Grand Opera House for the Elks' Carnival Dec. 2, and it was one of the finest ever done in this city. Other years the work was done by the cheaper Italian and Greek florists. This year Mr. Stevenson was selected and did the work so well that the committee gave Mr. S. a vote of thanks for his artistic arrangement. The stage, which is 75 feet deep, was set with mountiun and forest scenery and a lifg sized elk was placed near a cliff as if coming down through the valley in the mountains.

The spealier's table was one large ellt's head nestled in a bank of ferns, as if the whole body of the elk was there. On one large cliff to the left of the stage was placed a cross made of ivy, nine feet in height, with a beau- tiful sash of white ribbon thrown across its arms. One of the boxes on each side of the stage had an elk's head nestling in grasses. Sixteen white electric lights were placed on the antlers of each head, and the effect at night was very pleasing. The foyer was elegantly decorated with evergreens and hundreds of white chrysanthemums, American flags and purple ribbons, purple being the Elks' color. I might add that the large cross was an exquisite piece of work and was given by Mrs. Leland Stan- ford of Menlo Park. I paid a visit to Mr. A. Galloway's place in Fruitvale and found that gen- tleman busy among his carnations and violets. One bench of Gold Nugget and another of Flora Hill looked fine. Mr. Galloway thinks well of Painted Lady as a pink, but is looking for a scarlet to take the place of Jubilee, which he intends to discard next year. The carnations are grown on solid beds at this place and the health of the plants and size of the flowers prove the wisdom of this plan of cul- ture in California. J. Cleary, formerly with H. S. San- born, Oakland, who opened a store at 182 Eddy St., this city, has failed to make it go. Two months was enough for him. Mr. Sanborn has of- fered him his old position. J. N. CATALOGUES RECEIVED.

Randolph St. , Chicago, 111. 86 The Weekly Florists' Review, DECEMBER 21, 1S99. GRAND RAPIDS, MICH. The local florists are already begin- ning to build, not even waiting for spring to arrive. Henry Smith is start- ing in on four houses, Eli Cross four violet and one carnation house, Chad- wick three or four, with more to hear from later. Crabb & Hunter will large- ly increase their violet capacity. The funeral of Gen. I. C. Smith, a popular citizen, called out a lavish display of flowers. While Crabb & Hunter had charge of the decorations, by far the most elaborate and artistic piece was furnished by T. R. Renwick & Co. It was about 6 feet high. From the point was caught an American flag, its folds falling gracefully on each side of the piece. Two army swords were crossed near their points and just below was a crescent of vio- lets, and below that a large Masonic emblem, the circular center of which projected several inches. It was made with Modesto mums, the four intersect- ing bars projecting beyond the center -were of violets; the base, 3% by 2 feet, was done in mums and roses. The next most conspicuous pieces were a spray by Henry Smith of 20 dozen pink and white mums, and a wreath by the Grand Rapids Floral Co., caught in the center with a heavy cluster of Ro- mans.

Craig, and myself, you are not buying it on a venture, but knowing that it is not a success in one soil and a failure in another. In color, size, fragrance and stem it is just what the " storemen" want. In habit, constitution and freedom of bloom it is just what the grower wants, never out of crop from Sept. to July, more flowers to the square foot than any other known variety and practically no seconds. With iS.ooo stock plants to work from there is no danger of over propagation, and you are not asked to wait until planting out time for your cuttings but can have them whenever warned. Orders entrusted to me will have my personal attention, both in the selection of the cuttings and the filling of the order. Price per 100. $1U.(H); per 25, $2.50; per 1000. $75.00; per 250, $18.75.

The regvilai- meeting of the State Florists' Society was held at the store of Huntington & Page. The president and vice-president lieing ahsent, Mr. Langstaff acted as chairman. Mr. E. A. Nelson read a paper on rose culture, which was well received. As the next meeting will be the state meeting, it will be held at the State House, and it was proposed to entertain the state florists at that time, and the following committee was appointed to make ar- rangements for the occasion: Robert McKeand, J. T. Huntington. Fred. Hukriede. The meeting was well at- tended and we all hope that the good attendance will be kept up. H. W. Rieman showed some seedling carnations and a mum, a sport from Rieman. It is a yellow, on the style of Viviand-Morel. Cincinnati Florists' Visit. A crowd of Cincinnati boys came over the other day — well, it was on the 13th, and there were just 13 of them; but notwithstanding all this, a luckier and happier lot of fellows were never entertained by the Indianapolis boys. They were met at the depot at 6:10' p. m., coming here from Lafayette, where they had been to visit Mr. Dorner. It was 8 o'clock when we reached the Walla Halla, and, of course, liowling was on the programme, and the way those Cincinnati hoys bowled was a sight. It seems as though they had been looking for a snap and they cer- tainly struck one, for they captured all the team and individual prizes. Mr. Jackson was the luckiest, he being the high man with 176 in a ten-frame and 102 in five frames. Following is the score of the prize game; CINCINNATI.

Mr. Robert Craig, of Philadelphia, was also one of our guests. At the conclusion Mr. Gillett made a neat speech, in which he thanked the liKlianapolis florists for their kind bos))ilality. Tlicy left the next morning at S:1U for Richmond. FRHD. PORTCHESTER, N. Y. The annual dinner of the Westches- ter County Gardeners' Association was given at the Irving hotel, Portchester, December 16. Some forty members and friends sat down to enjoy the good things provided. President John Shore presided, and when the demi- tasse and cigars came, toasts, stories, songs and speeches were in order. Sec- retary Jenkins read letters of regret from some of those invited from dis- tant points. Among these was one from Alfred Dimmock, who was by that time, to use his own words, drinking their health in his stateroom on the Lucania, which sailed that day for Kngland. Delegations were present from all the surrounding towns. The party from Tarrytown brought an invitation to the society to dine with them at their first annual dinner, which will be held in the Vanderbilt building, Tarrytown, December 2sth. Mr. J. W. Withers and J. I. Donlan, of New York city, made short addresses on "Horti- culture" and the "Horticultural Press." The affair was a most happy one and was thoroughly enjoyed Ijy all present. D.

Christmas eve among the florists o£ New York is an occasion to be remem- 1>ered; tlie enormous amount of work (lone, the vast quantities of stock dis- posed of, are, to say the least, won- derful. Saturday we were down in the wholesale greenery district trying to get you a few statistics and wo find that there were about four thousand eases of holly disposed of in this mar- ket; lots of it was not worth 20 cents a case; this was particularly the mat- ter with southern holly this year — it was dirty yellow and much of it berry- less. The Delaware stock was good and consequently went with a rush. We saw some of the best bought for $3.00 a case, but the average price was $4.00 and $5.00. There were several hundred cases of mistletoe, but most of it was not fit to use. The Ameri- can was damaged they say by frost, the English was either badly packed or smashed up in transit, the French was about the best. There were hunt- ing parties out for this line of goods, but none to be had. Seventy-two carloads of Christmas trees, with an average of fifteen hun- dred trees to each car, came in from New York state, and then remember the largest part of our supply came by boats from Maine, New Jersey and Connecticut; they were almost entire- ly white spruce or balsams and sold for 25 cents up to $15 for 20-foot trees. The number of trees sold will exceed the quarter million mark. The best part of the trade was supplied with specimen Norway spruces from the local nurseries. Princess pine sold well. In fact, to sum up the green market, it was very good, and fine ma- terial went early and high. We tramped the entire city looking for news and novelties, and many amusing and pathetic sights and sto- ries were seen and heard in this great- est of Bohemias — this magnificent market where sentiment influences the petrified hearts of many. Down in the poorest parts of the city we saw the Jew and the Gentile, aye, even the Chinese, carrying home bunches of greenery, or sprays of flowers, and who shall fathom it? We find this year, and it is a good sign, that the poorer and middle class trade was e.xtremely good. There was not near so much artificial stuff either shown or sold. The small retailers sold a vast quantity of roping and wreaths such as was bought whole- sale; holly wreaths, in fact any kind of good wreaths, were scarce in the wholesale market. Up in the first class stores the wreaths were made by contract at from 10 to 12% cents each wreath, by experts who are em- ployed for this every year. This year's Christmas decorations were more general than ever. Muny thousands of houses, clubs and hotels displayed wreaths and garlands and whilst there were quite a lot of mixed and pine wreaths, the great majority were of holly; we are pleased to no- tice that there was more refinement shown than ever before in these deco- rations, and we are afraid that many retailers are not responsible for this, because many who pay high rents of- fered numerous loud things in the way of solid immortelle wreaths, etc., which still hang in their stores. The people are not slow in appreciation, and fine work like fine stock goes quickly. Most of the green wreaths were tied with red ribbon, and let us remark that though in many cases, particular- ly in wall or balcony decoration, it is best to tie the bow at the bottom, in the case of windows where fine cur- tains are hung and all is expected to be neat and trim it is best to tie the ribbon on the top and have the loops leach half or three-quarters down; this makes a more compact effect. If some wish to be different, short bows on the right don't look bad, especially if the wreath has a few sprays there; this can be alternated to the left side. Most of the retailers cleared out of Christ- mas greens and are very well satisfied with trade in that line. Plants. As we predicted in previous notes, this year broke the record for the sale of plants. The quantity disposed of was something enormous; thousands upon thousands of them were sold, not alone of flowering plants but all man- ner of ferns and foliage stock; they were mostly made up in all sorts of baskets. Each florist endeavored to have something different from his brother, and In consequence some beautiful and many funny things were seen. Gauze ribbons were used very profusely. One party introduced lace handkerchiefs among his gauze. One thing we noticed, and we considered bad judgment, was the great jireva- lence of sickly colors, such as whites, washed out blue and yellow and faded lavenders; we think these colors re- tarded or spoiled many a sale. We should make a difference between Christmas and Easter colors. Of course there was an oversupply of white stock, especially white heath- er (in fact this plant caused a monot- ony almost everywhere, and if any- thing remains it does), and no doubt the boys were anxious to match col- ors; combinations sell better some- times. The weather was verj' mild and a great amount of tender ferns were used in baskets with good effect. Low poinsettias in pans went with a rush, so did ardisias. We saw lots of azaleas with one or two flowers on; it was hard to sell such. Every florist made a specialty of plants and these were disposed of before the cut flower section was seriously considered. One point is worthy of note and of commendation: that most of the plants were sold in neat baskets, that though lots of crepe paper was used — and used with a vengeance^the pub- lic seemed to dislike it and preferred the plant to its dressing. Begonia Glory of Lorraine was a pretty feature and sold well where it was appreciated and offered reasonably. We haven't time to enumerate all the leading items in plants, but everybody did a big trade and it is safe to say there will be more grown next year. Cut Flowers. It is diflicult to say what this Christ- mas was in a cut flower way. Prices for top grades were about as we quot- ed, but the greatest volume of trade was very much cheaper. First class fresh roses sold well, violets became a drug, bulbous stock was over-plenti- ful, white stuff in general moved slow- ly or not at all. As we said before, we traversed all sections to study the situation. We saw fairly good roses retailed for 75 cents and $1.00 per doz- en; violets, $1.50 and $2.00 per 100; valley, 15 cents per dozen; Romans, 10 cents per dozen; and so on, and this in the streets on Christmas day. But on the other hand we saw as big prices as were gotten the past eight years. There was a tremendous quantity of flowers disposed of. The following is a fair estimate of what was on the market in New York for Christmas, and it almost all dis- appeared somewhere somehow: Vio- lets, 500,000; roses, 200,000; carna- tions, 200,000; lily of the valley, 100,- 000; Roman hyacinths, 100.000; poin- settias. 20,000; cypripediums, 25,000; miscellaneous flowers, 250,000; vines. 100 The Weekly Florists' Review. DECEMBER 28. 1899. 10,000; red berries (Ilex verticillata), 10,000 bunches; common ferns, 100,- 000; galax, 100,000; mixed greens, 500 boxes; holly, 4,000 cases; mistletoe, 350 eases; Princess pine, 200 cases; garlands, 500,000 yards; wreaths, etc., 750,000; Christmas trees, 300,000; ferns and foliage plants, 50,000; flowering plants, 100,000. Who shall say we are a mere nation of machines? We cannot compare these figures with those of any other city in the world, we simply give them for consideration. Our country is only 125 years old, and when one city uses almost the entire amount of stock we name for its Christmas decorations of IS&f) it i.s pretty safe to say we are far from dying and that the future of our art is brilliantly bright. We had the good fortune of being able to get a few pictures of the New around you. It's all very nice if your individuality in a business way can stand out artistically prominent, but don't lose sight of this very important fact that it is far better for you to give the people good flowers and plain boxes than fancy boxes and poor flow- ers. The highest forms of art are the plain and simple ones. And here's another subject: There is enough interesting history connect- ed with most plants and flowers if we would only learn it without going to extremes in fabrications. We noticed in a prominent Broadway window a plant in flower of Epiphyllum trunca- tum. This was labeled, "Century Plant; blooms once every hundred years." It's foolish to do this kind of thing, because the great majority of Americans know better. Very few flowers were worn on the Basket of Cyclamens with California Pepper on handle. York florists' stores on Christmas eve and we wish to sincerely thank the several artists for the courtesy shown our representative in a very busj time. The views will be published in connection with this department as soon as possible. One thing we particularly noticed in several stores was that baskets of plants were massed together, and we think some good sales were lost on ac- count of this. If you want your goods to be attractive and show their full beauty they must be arranged proper- ly. You may often notice that the basket or vase you put on a pedestal or some place where it will be singled out from the rest is the first sold. We are also of the opinion that too much money is thrown away on flashy trimmings in the way of wall paper boxes, bad ribbon, awful colored pa- pers and several other things you see streets Christmas day. Violets and red roses were the most popular. We noticed that a great deal of holly and mistletoe appeared in buttonhole and corsage. New Year trade promises to be fair- ly good in the way of cut flowers. IVERA. THE WINTER BERRY. The Winter Berry (Ilex verticillata — synonym, Prinos verticillatus) or Black Alder has been a very important item in Christmas decorative material in the Chicago market this season. It is a native slirub that grows about .>;ix feet in height and blooms in May and June. In fall the bright red berries la trifle smaller in size than those of the common holly) are thickly set on the twigs, which are then bare of foliage. The absence of foliage would seem to lessen the decorative effect, but when these thickly berried twigs are ar- ranged with suitable accessories the effect is superb. These berried branches have been used with splendid effect in some of the finest decorations in Chicago this winter and were a regular annual sup- ply assured they would undoubtedly soon become very popular. We understand, though, that the ber- ries are of little value after severe winter weather sets in and that the large supply in the market this year is due to the remarkably mild winter up to this time. Could not this diffi- culty be overcome by cutting the branches after the first frost and stor- ing away in a cool but frost-proof cel- lar or root house? We would be pleased to know whether this has been tried. Surely it is worth some little effort and expense to insure an annual sup- ply of these beautiful berried branch- es. They sell on sight at a good price and are exceedingly useful in many ways. During the past week many a holly wreath was doubled in value by the addition of twigs of the Winter Berry. Another berried shrub of which branches have lately been seen in lim- ited quantities is an ilex of which the specific name is not yet known by the dealers (possibly Ilex Dahoon). In this the foliage is present, small lance- olate leaves, and the berries a bright red. though not nearly so numerous as in the case of the Winter Berry. It would be very popular if it could be supplied in quantity, and in good con- dition at fair rates. CALIFORNIA PEPPER. Among novelties in Christmas mate- rial noted this year were the berries of the California pepper tree (Schinus Moile) seen at Mr. C. A. Samuelson's, Chicago. The berries are about the size of peas, of a beautiful pale rose color and are borne in panicles. We present in this issue two engrav- ings showing how effectively these ber- ries were used on the handles of plant baskets by Mr. Samuelson. They were also fastened in the bows of sashes of ribbon and used in various other ways. While the color is not so brilliant as that of other berries so freely used in Christmas decorations, there is most decidedly a place for this berry. CHICAGO. The Market. The Christmas trade averaged very much ahead of last year and some hold that it was the largest Christmas business in the history of the trade in this city. The commission men as a rule report supply in excess of last year, though still insufficient to meet all the demand except in white flow- ers. The only stock that was in over- supply was bulbous stuff, especially Koman hyadnths, and there were some of these last left over. A number of DECEMUEK 28. 1899. The Weekly Florists^ Review. lOl California Pepper on handle of plant basket. large growers, though, report a small- er cut than last j-ear. especially in Beauties and Meteors, and that the in- crease in price was not sufficient to balance the decrease in quantity. There was certainly a big lot of stock from somewhere and aside from the roses above mentioned orders were fairly well filled. One unpleasant feature was that pickled stock turned up in quantity at the last moment and with the usual result. We hear of pickled carnations being sold at $2.00 a hundred that would have quickly broug'ht $4.00 had they been brought in when right. American Beauty roses were the scarcest they have ever been, and this is generally accounted for by the fear- fully hot weather in early fall which it is believed took a great deal of vital- ity from the plants which has not yet been recovered. Kennicott Bros. Co. report the Christmas trade as much the largest in their whole business experience. They didn't expect any Beauties worth mentioning, and their only disappoint- ment was that the Gontiers they had depended upon to help out in colored roses were not up to expectations. They made three very long distance shipments for Christmas (one to the Pacific coast) and feel sure the stock must have carried well, as the con- signees had telegraphed orders for double the quantities for New Year's. They find that bulb stuff travels best packed dry in boxes separate from other flowefs. The market is now almost bare of flowers aside from white flowers, espe- cially bulbous stock, and Christmas prices still rule; in fact these figures will be shaded little, if any, till after New Year's, anyway. And if trade is at all brisk prices should hold up well for some time. Unless the plants should suddenly bring that long de- ferred "crop." All report their plants as now in excellent condition and pros- pects good, but the stock doesn't come ia despite the fact that never before have we been favored with so much bright weather in December. The tact that better figures were made on white flowers for Christmas induced some retailers to push them and with results which show that the people will take them if price is lower. One retailer bought 600 bunches of narcissus, dressed them up with ferns and sold them out clean at $1.00 a bunoh. Seen at the Retailers. At E. Wienhoebers: Natural birch bark jardinieres filled with various small plants. One combination was an ardisia with baby primroses and small ferns. Another, red cyclamen and various ferns. A large round birch basket had an araucaria at back, with white azalea and large ferns in front. A plant stand contained a Dracaena Sanderiana. two ardisias, two baby inimroscs with Cyrtomium falcatum and ncphrolepis at the edge. A lower shelf of the same stand was filled with cyclamen iuid nephrolepis. In the center of the store was a 4-foot section of a huge log on end. In the upper end was sunk the pot of a large kentia and into the soil of the pot had been insert- ed a lot of winter berry branches, mak- ing ;i mass of the bright red berries, while ivy vines were drajjcd down the log. There were many cyclamens and not so many azaleas as usual. Some made up pots containod an ardisia with small cyrtomiums around. At C. A. Samuelson's: The window display illustrated and described else- where. Many baskets of plants in which cyclamens were most frequent, the handles often decorated with Cali- fornia pepper, as shown in illustra- tjons in this issue.

Laureate wreath of leucothoe with bunch of hoUv at the base, the holly brightened by' the addition of winter berry. A remark- ably fine white cyclamen. Ericas, Ota- heite oranges, azaleas, primulas. Many fern dishes. His window display was a very effective combination of above and decorative plants. He also had filled the pot of a large palm with winter berry. At I. C. Silliman's: Many natural birch bark fern dishes. These, by the way, are made by local talent and they were very effective as well as low priced. Azaleas in pot covers were also prominent here. The retailers all report a big Christ- mas trade, the increased call being for cut fiowers as well as plants. With several of the leading florists poinset- tias were a feature and they sold ex- ceedingly well. Individual orders aver- aged larger than for some years past. ■Various Items. A look through the greenhouses of Mr. Peter Reinberg. at Summerdale. shows his stock to be in extra fine con- dition. He cut a fine lot of stuff for Christmas and the quality was excel- lent. He has an immense lot of rooted carnation cuttings coming on and all are in splendid shape.

The house was owned by the former. The loss is partly covered by insurance. Charles Held, the well known florist, died December 20 at his residence, 922 North Campbell avenue, aged 4.5 years. He had been in poor health for several years. He had many friends in the trade who deeply regret his demise in the prime of life. Interment was at Waldheim last Sunday. He leaves a widow and four children. Mr. Held had accumulated some little property and leaves his family in very fair cir- cumstances. When he moved his es- tablishment to North Campbell ave- nue he was surrounded by open prai- rie, but this section is now solidly built up. Mr. O. P. Bassett has moved into his handsome new residence at Hinsdale. BUFFALO. Now the hurly - burly's done, now the battle's fought and won, we can gasp and look over our profits, for some profits there must be, even if in some lines we were not successful. It was a misfortune that the 24th fell on a Sunday, for we scarcely knew ■'where we were at." It is very un- likely that the same climatic condi- tions prevailed throughout the north, but locally we were much blessed. The last three days of the week were bright and even warm, the temperature going up to 45 degrees every day. This was an especial favor for Saturday, for then was when the largest quantity of plants were delivered. To many it was a great saving of time and labor. In fact, if Friday and Saturday had been as it is at this moment, we could scarcely have got the orders oft at all, and then the scolding that would have followed! Sunday was warm and wet and Christ- mas day cold and clear. It was as we predicted — a great plant time, and color was wanted. Palms were asked for less than formerly. Poinsettias took the lead, and in pans of five or six dwarf plants they went much faster than single plants, yet as single plants at ?1 an immense quan- tity was sold, as were five or six fine ones in fancy baskets, with Boston fern, which brought from $5 to $10. Azaleas sold well, and if well flowered would all have gone at a good, profit- able price. There were not many cy- clamen offered. Pans of Romans sold very well. When a good .5-inch pot of Gloire de Lorraine begonia can be re- tailed for $1, it will be a fine Christmas plant, although there are plenty of peo- ple who rebel at its purplish pink col- or. There were plenty of nice little orange trees offered, but they seem to have had their day. Medium sized pots and pans of Boston fern sold re- markably well; the public knows what :in admirable house plant this Is. In the aggregate there was a large quantity of other stuff sold, including Fri'nula obconica, Chinese primrose.^, begonias, bottle brush. Altogether, from personal observation would say that there was 30 per cent more plants handled than ever before. There is not so much congratulation over the cut flower trade. There is kicking in various quarters. There was too much of the same old story: "Flow- ers very scarce," and then they came tumbling in by the barrelful on Sun- day. Trade was quite brisk on Christ- mas morning, but there was never more than enough to supply it, and if much is left over you lose all the profit on what is sold. Several thousand vio- lets will go to deodorize the perfume of the garbage wagon. It is perhaps true, as someone said, that whatever we get, we do not get enough for our plants and flowers; but the public don't philosophize that way, and they shy at Beauties at $1.50 each, violets at $4 per hundred and Brides- maids and Meteors at $4 and $5 a dozen. There are a few people who will pay anything, the higher the priei' the better they like it, but they are the great exception, and our steady cus- tomers revolt against what they con- sider extortion. I want to tell some commission men that "Ethel Crocker" carnation may sell at $2 per dozen in Philadelphia, but they won't here. All we want is carnations that sell at $1 a dozen. When we consider the great quantity of plants sold for gifts, how can we expect the cut flower part of the busi- ness to be what it was a few years ago, and it is not. Ribbon was used quite largel.v and few plants went out without being trimmed with colored paper. The bare pot was seldom seen, and the paper is assuredly a great ad- dition to the attractiveness of the plant. Holly was cleaned up, but there was less demand for ground pine. The Christmas tree has grown in fashion till now they come by carloads, and the suppLv was sadly overdone. We noticed in a New York paper a long article on Christmas, the tree, its his- tory, and the sources of supply, etc. Maine, it appears, supplies largely New York city. The author said: "The Christmas tree was introduced to Brit- ain by the Saxons, and from England we got the Christmas tree with other things." I think he or she is wrong; the introduction of the Christmas tree into England was not over fifty years ago. It is to the Germans we owe the Christmas tree.

PEORIA, ILL. The florists of this city are well pleased with their nhristmas trade. Carnations sold at 75 cents a dozen and cleaned up well. Of roses Maids, Meteors, Brides and Perles went at $1.50 to $2.00 a dozen, and at these figures there were good sales. Cole Bros, cut S.OOO carnations from their benches, including some fine Bradts. Louis Miller cut a good many violets and Cole Bros, took the whole cut. Chas. Loveridge had a nice crop of Beauties and carnations. J. C. Murray's roses and carnations were in just right and from some benches containing 3.000 carnation plants 2.000 blooms were cut in four days. Henry Baer is in charge of the carnations and is to be congratu- lated on his success. The plant trade was excellent. Cole Bros, had a house of azaleas and a quantity of Boston ferns that were re- markably flue. J. C. Murray disposed of 100 azaleas, also many primulas and cyclamens. Kuhl's store reported an excellent trade. Mr. Kuhl was the only florist having Harrisii lilies. Green was a drug in the market, the commission men selling it as low as 2 cents per yard and not cleaning up at that. Holly went well, as did also Christmas trees. J. R. FREEPORT, ILL.— John Bauscher, Jr., has finished the erection of sev- eral large modern houses that make an important addition to his. establish- ment. JOLIET, ILL.— A. R. Starr, the vet- eran florist, is dead. Death was due to paralysis, from which he has suf- fered for several months. He was born in Ithaca, N. Y., in 1832 and set- tled in this city In 1871. He leaves a widow and three married daughters. REINBERG BROS. g;i.°4frl Sf CIT FLOWERS. 8U0,000 feet of lilass. Ilradciuarlrrs for line AMKRICAN RE.tVTIES. 5 J Wabash Avenue. CHICAGO.

Christmas trade here was the best knowa in years and everything sold at good prices. Carnations retailed at 75 cents to $1.50; roses, $1.50 up; violets also went well at a fancy price. The growers here got their share of the pudding in .selling carnations at $4 to $6; roses. $8 and upwards; violets, $1.50 to $2. Blooming plants sold well. Azalea and cyclamen took the lead at good prices. The market florists felt a lit- tle blue on Saturday morning, as it was raining, but by evening were a happy lot. each one having had his share of the excellent trade. Taking the trade in general, they all had a "merry Christmas" and are looking for a "happy New Year." FRED. TROUBLE AHEAD. Editor Florists' Review: Kindly ad- vise as to who is responsible for" that (?) after the word "noble" in your late Buffalo notes. Is it the Buffalo corre- spondent, the editor, or the printer? We can forgive the printer much, the editor more, but if after honoring a poor worm like W. S. of Buffalo with all the ofBces within our gift — yea, even going beyond the limitations of sex and making him board of lady managers— he is going to insert such offensive punctuation marks when they are least deserved, we wish to know it right now. We will attend to his case in Februarv, THE ANANIAS SOCIETY. Per W. N. R. TIFFIN, O.— In the Tiffin Daily Tribune of December 20 appears a three-column description of the green- bouse establishment of Mr. Lewis Ull- rich, together with an excellent por- trait of that gentleman.

Christmas was a hummer and no mistake, with good weather to deliver stofli without wrapping, up to .Sunday evening, wlien it turned cold and con- tinued so up to the time of writing. Everything sold well, but it is appar- ent that as each Christma.'^ comes around the demand tor plants increases and the supply was not equal to the demand. Breitmeyer & Son having the best and also the large.'it quantity. They also init up a great many liaskets, which sold nearly as fast as one man could fill them. Mr. B. goes east for new ideas every holiday season and his efforts seem to be appreciated by the high priced buyers. In cut flowers all the retailers re- port a clean up. with carnations and violets in the lead. Uoses were none too plentiful, thus making the price high. In fact, we hear the old refrain that trade was 50 per cent better, so of course the growers feel good, for set- tling day is near at liand and the .'iO per cent more business means prompt payment of bills. We are to have another retailer in Woodward avenue. Mr. Chas. Scheible, who has l>een with B. Schroeter for some years, will soon open up above the park. At the last meeting of the club Mr. E. A. Scribner read a paper on "Fumi- gation for Green Fly," which was very ably written and contained some new ideas on such an old subject. He claimed death was caused by suffoca- tion and not from the effects of nico- tine in the tobacco, and that he had the best success with old, dried up stems that had been bleached out Ijy rain and sun for a great length of time. A great deal of quizzing was done, but he made his point good. R.AG. KANSAS CITY, MO. To sum the situation up here, "peo- ple were flower crazy." Anything and everything sold, and at top prices. Trade began about Friday, or rather it started the beginning of the past week, and wound up like a whirlwind. Slock was somewhat scarce and of fair quality. A few of the older grow- ers resorted to pickling, and in conse- quence did not realize top price for their trash. From all accounts the traile ran about 30 to 40 per cent better than last year. Green stuff also had its turn and was done to a finish. Not a scrap of a tree could be found Saturday night. Thurs- day and Friday saw more trees, holly, pine, etc., than was ever show.n in Kansas City, and some predicted that there would be low prices on this stuff by Saturday night, but the writer spent something like a dollar in messenger service trying to find a tree Saturday night, and then could not get it. Holly was of fair (|uality and sold up clean. In cut tlowers, pink roses and col- ored carnal ions IimI. prices ranging from T- to .$4 for the former and 75 cents to $1 for common and $1.50 to ?2 for fancy carnations. Beauties sold at from $3 to $18 per dozen; very few of the latter ones were to be had. Me- teors in good demand, with light sup- ply. No violets to speak of. Bulb stock sold better than usual, principal- ly narcissus and Romans. Plants had their inning, also, and sold well, among which were to be seen some fine poin- settias, azaleas, oranges, ericas and Sprengeri. and brought top prices. The fact that Christmas fell on Mon- day gave the florists additional work, as nearly half the transient or late comers came in Monday, thereby mak- ing delivery very irregular and prevent- ing early orders from having the care they should have had. Weather was all that could be desired up to Satur- day evening; even then not bad enough to tide the rush. We sure enough feel and welcome the times of prosperity. W. ASTORIA, L. I. A visit to W. H. Siebrecht's exten- sive and well kept place is always a pleasure and of the greatest of inter- est. Mr. Siebrecht is probably the larg- est bulb grower we have around New York. He forces upwards of a million bulbs a year and is considered a great authority on that line of stock. He has been experimenting with home grown lily of the valley with great success; his houses were full of the finest stock for Christmas. A house of poinsettias looked grand, and then there were the immense quantities of bulbous stock in pots, pans and boxes, either for cutting or plant trade. He will soon have a fine lot of Acacia pubescens. A bench of Asparagus Sprengeri is in splendid condition, so also is a general collec- tion of foliage plants. Holiday trade has been very good with him. D. ART AT FLOWER SHOWS. Dear I'Jditor; "The Novice" tells us tliat he can "with wonderful accuracy read between the lines" in what we wrote on the above subject in a recent issue. We are sorry he did not read our lines and not bother looking for what was not between. "The Novice" i.s not the only one who builds in re- hearsal the sugar-loaf group. We as- siirt! him I he fault is general. We can also assure lijui that most of the group classes call for or intend for "effect." What is a group arranged for? Flow- ers and plants, no matter how finely grown, become monotonous when sim- ilarity or formality rules in the ar- ranging. Flower shows are not hebl for the purpose of pleasing judges or growers alone; we depend on the pub- lic to make them pay, we are expected to show the public our very best, and art is the very soul of Flora — it is merely disfigured or destroyed by many interpreters. Do away with the long tables of monotony, do away with formal groups, do away with the idea that art is of less importance than sci- ence at our shows. IVERA.

Let us c'ongratiil:ite The Review on the fact that it will lie the first flori- cultural trade paper printed and sent flying all over the world in the last year of the century. Let us extend to all in our business — the old and the young, the great and the small — our congratulations and hopes for a bright future. It is au all important matter for contemplation that what- ever we think, say, or do belongs to this end-of-the-century year, and that all of us, we hope, are destined to have the opportunity of assisting in some way to make the new era the bright- est and the happiest, certainly the most wonderfully advanced, of all that has passed. We, the retail florists of America, have nothing to be ashamed of in our share of the world's floricultural liis- tory during the past hundred years, for though as a distinctive line of trade ours can only date back to the latter part of it, yet in that brief time we have accomplished more, sold more, perhaps, than the combined florists of the Old World. The American retail florist can only refer back to or study the past fifty years. The struggles of those early days were pathetic — he- roic. Coming from homes across the seas, moneyless, but rich in love of flowers, we find them starting upon nothing with the few insignificant plants and flowers they found here; for one of the first sales we can trace is a pot of ivy, then a geranium, again a rose plant, till bo.xes and hanging bas- kets were filled, and finally it got large enough to open a store and cause competition. To the Society of American Florists we would say, when holding your great convention in New York next August: Go in a body to Old Wash- ington Market, where the first flow- ers and plants were sold, and have the venerable Charles Zeller unveil a bronze tablet to the memory of the few who started the business on the glittering road it has traversed, aye, to those who made the trade even wha\* it is to-day, for history and €veiJ~ present events cast a halo 'round their names. It was only the other day we met an old friend, and after summarizing the present Christmas trade, he start- ed anecdotes of thirty years ago; sand was used in place of moss then, and broom corn stalks for sticks, thread instead of wire, yes. often pieces of white cotton were used in wreaths to fill in between flowers. We, ourselves, down to fifteen years ago manufac- tured roses out of fallen petals; the same with camellias. Balsams w^ere the leading flower for "groundwork," and no funeral would be complete without the tuberose, and what car- nations and roses! And then the prices — w-hew! It's delicious to look back on the past for some things. The civil war took many of the country's brightest florists away, but the prosperity that followed the strug- gle gave the greatest impetus to flori- culture, and there are many among us to-day who are deserving of as much honor as the greatest men in other lines of art, science, or com- merce. Let us just glance at history. What does the world's floricultural history tell us? Oh, yes; our art was recognized at the very start; it has decked both the civilized and the un- civilized natures in every corner of the earth; we know there were many lovely designs made in the earliest ages, but the descriptions and prices of floral decorations in almost all ancient history are purely mytholog- ical suppositions. And 'what do we hud in modern history? Well, sev- ei-al affairs where as high as $1,000 or $1,.'J00 were spent by whole nations or rulers to beautify certain celebrations. All Europe thought the French werft crazy — aye, even the French them- selves imagined they were influenced by the highest pinnacles of enthusi- astic grandeur when they paid $2, .000 for the floral decorations to crown Na- poleon and Eugenie's glory. Withia the past twenty years, even twelve years, this sumptuousness has been cast into shadow by private citizens of New York. Over $3,000 was paid for the flowers used to decorate one dinner and there have lieen several society balls where the fioral decorations have cost $.-/.000, and we have reason to be- lieve the decorations at one wedding cost $.s,500. Many a belle has had $4';a or $.500 worth of bouquets sent her at the Patriarch's ball, and the combined value of the floral decorations and bouquets seen at those events would often reach $10,000. All honor to those who were and are equal to the occasion. The astonishing growth of our bus- iness during the last quarter of the century may be attributed by one au- thority or another to several causes, but history or facts will prove that next to the prosperity of the country the retail florists deserve the greatest credit. It was they who put the value on stock and induced the growers not only to build, but gave them the means of doing it. It was they who, just as they are continuing to do, enhanced the worth of plant or flower by beauty of arrangement, and en- ■View in Fleischmann's Window. NEW YORK STORES AT CHRISTMAS.

But we wish to be generous, an^l give all a share in the glorious achievement of raising American floriculture to such a high standard. When you come closer to the retailer and study art, you will find that it is of a qual- ity all alone; there is no country to- day where (loral art has reached the standard raised by Americans, and this was made possible only by the production of perfect flowers, for it is to excellence of material almost as must as to refined judgment that technical knowledge of and better ap- preciation of i commercial flora, ideal and successful flower shows, a more definite realization of "the survival of the fittest" in everything, a Soci- ety of Floral Artists, a National Hor- ticultural Society, the concentration of specialists in cultivation as well as artists in arranging, in larger and more magnificent 'city establishments, the disappearance of trade or horti- cultural newspapers run by cliques or in the interest of growers alone, the supplying of European flower markets in winter by American growers, a View in Hodgson's. NEW YORK STORES AT CHRISTMAS. we owe whatever success or promi- nence we may have attained, and though we have accomplished won- ders in the recent past, everything points toward far greater results in the near future. We have already got the finest re- tail florists' stores and attachments in existence, the finest flowei-s and the highest prices to be seen or obtained anywhere, but we have much to learn and lots to avoid. A new element has crept into our business only to retard, not to stop, the growth of refinement. The monstrosities which are the fruits of narrow minds and dwarfed intel- lects can be seen like a fungus on every art in every age, but beauty of thought in language or substance remains imperishable through all vi- cissitudes. We are destined to see many changes in our business in the early part of the twentieth century: A bet- ter understanding and a closer rela- tionship between retailer and grower, a different system of marketing, bet- ter quality and more variety of all classes of plants and flowers, a more paper exclusively devoted to retail florists, home production of everything imported now, etc., etc. And there is no good reason why we should not commence some of the great improvements at once. The sooner we realize the fact that this country will neither become smaller nor less an important factor in the destinies of other nations, that the American people will not grow to be less lovers of the beautiful, we will un- derstand that there can never be a market like ours, if we are but equal to it. The millstone 'round the neck of a greater prosperity to-day is a wo- ful lack of variety of stock on the mar- ket. We seem to want to dictate to an imperious beauty what she shall wear, whilst nature is busy producing gems which should shame us. With this first issue in the New Year of The Review, we would call attention to the important fact that it is the only paper in the world that de- votes a special department to retail florists, and whilst what is written is specially intended for retailers, we arg told that there are- very few grow- ers who don't peruse this corner, for what sells best in the market interests all, and if a paper is worth reading it is worth the paltry subscription of one dollar a year. We want you to help us make this department better than it is; we help you, you can help others, and make this year memorable in many ways. The convention next August will possibly be the largest gathering of florists and the best trade exhibition ever seen anywhere: it is to be hoped that the retailers will either make a creditable display or see one that will benefit them in many ways. The smallest are often capable of produc- ing the greatest results, and there is no fiorist too humble or too poor to aspire to in some way elevate floricul- ture. We must all understand that to learn is compulsory with the florist; to succeed he must continually study. No man can say that he has passed en- tirely through the school, for in every liranch of our trade there is lots of room at the top. 'Tis well it is so, for that fact will always insure greater effort and higher attainments. The observant among us will have noticed many things the past Christ- mas and New Year's day and will bene- fit thereby. The demand for flowering plants will increase, but we must im- prove in cultivation as well as in va- riety. Every dealer will admit that if he had better stock he could have sold very much more. Take ericas; we must have brighter colors: there will be a use for plenty of tall poinsettias, but the short ones in pans will increase in popularity. We must have roses in I)ots: ditto bright colored carnations. And what is the matter with Euphor- bia Jacquinaeflora? Although for cheap work ordinary Chinese prim- roses will do, yet we must have those named varieties, such as Crimson King (a grand color). Giant Pink, Purity and Reading Blue. We have long since dispensed with seasons in flowers, but we need closer relation between retailer and grower on what is best. Many and many a good flower has been poorly received in this country because its vitality was low on account of over-propaga- tion. We can afford to be more gen- erous, we can afford to give more en- couragement to the great men who are aiming to reach higher standards in the race of commercial flowers. One prominent feature of the plant trade at Christmas was Begonia Glory of Lorraine; it was forced too much and, after a week in the stores, shed its flowers in consequence. Much of it was left on hand, and it is more than likely many retailers will refuse to buy it again: that would be a grave mis- take, because it is a lovely thing, grand in hanging baskets. We have noticed that bright*'- col- ors prevail in the florists' windows for New Year's day trade, but regret that much of it is in ribbons. Wintry JANUARY 4, 1900. The Weekly Florists' Review. J 25 weather has driven peddlers off the streets, to the benefit of store trade. Although New Year's trade has al- most dwindled to nothiiis in some cities, compared with what it used to be, yet in New York tliere was (luite a brisk trade in cut flowers, which werft of better quality than those supplied for Christmas. It is expected that on next New Year's day, being the dawn of the tv.'entieth century, there will be an enormous trade in flowers, and 'tis not too soon to think of it. New York Stores at Christmas. We lynew that our readers would be glad to get a glimpse of some of the world famous florists' stores of New York and we are pleased to be able to have them in this issue. These views were taken on Christmas eve, without having given any notice, and when hundreds and thousands of people were in the stores and streets. There was no preparation, and whatever you see. except perhaps one or two faces, was just as the stores were, in topsy-turvy shuffle of a rushing business. We wish to remind you of the fact that most of the best work does not show, but you will notice something different in each store; study these View in Stumpp's.

It was not our in- tention to illustrate grandeur or size of store; these i)oints are not shown. We merely wished to show you some of the work and stock. Stumpp and Hodgson have beautiful stores on Fifth avenue, next door, we may say, to some of t'^*; richest people in the world. The others are in the busiest retail section of Broadway. We have given you two views of the wholesale florists, one of Koffman's ten thousand Cypripedium insigne (a photo of the largest group of these flowers ever shown), and a portion of the interior of the store of Thomas Young. Jr., on Christmas eve. We wish you all a happy and pros- perous New Year. IVERA. ONE DOLLAR will bring the Re- view to you every week for a year. Fifty-two numbers — less than 2 cents a week. KEEPING CARNATIONS. Editor Florists' Review:— Almost every florist is more or less interested in tlie keei)ing qualities of the various varieties of carnations after being cut. .\ remarkable case has come to my notice to-day which is a record break- er. On Thanksgiving day, Nov. 30th, I cut 12 mixed carnation blooms for a friend. They were .lubilee, Mre. Bradt, Flora Hill, White Cloud, Mrs. Joost, Daybreak and Victor. To-day, Dec. 26th, I saw four of those same blooms in good condition and likely to last three more days. They were two Flora Hills and two Mrs. Bradts. They were kept in a cool room and of course had fresh water and the stems cut every day, but even with such treatment four weeks is a long time to keep car- nation blooms. A. F. J. BAUR. Indianapolis. CARNATIONS REGISTERED. By Philip Heilig. Franklin, Pa., the following three: Christmas Rose — A rich cerise, flow- ers three to three and one-half inches in diameter and two and one-quarter inches deep. Fragrant and slightly fringed, stem long and strong. A strong, healthy grower, not subject to rust, and flowers from December until October. J. E. Sibley — A rich maroon, medi- um to large flowers, strong calyx, and finely fringed. A free bloomer on long, slender, stiff stems. Foliage narrow, a dark bluish green and healthy. Can be grown without sup- port and planted closely. Dorothy Forbes — Light pink, a shade darker than Daybreak. Flower well built in the center, round petals, very large and lasting and with a 126 The Weekly Florists' Review. JANUARY 4, 1900. good strong calyx. A free, continu- ous bloomer and a strong grower, with light green foliage. By Thomas Capers, Wellesley Hills, Mass.: Conquest— Color white, a cross be- tween Daybreak and Mrs. Fisher. Very large and double flowers, meas- uring three and one-half inches on an average. Strongly fragrant, handsome grower, extraordinarily profuse in bloom, never being off crop through- out the season.

In some greenhouse establishments there will by. this time be a transfor- mation scene. Christmas demands have cleared off benches, and stock wanted later will now receive atten- tion. As I have often remarked, a florist must be a thinking man, at least more than in some caUings, for if he is going to be successful he must be nearly always thinking and prepar- ing a year or so ahead of time. You" will naturally want to perpetu- ate or prepare a good stock of those plants that were in most demand at the past holidays, and although your memory may be excellent, and you a veteran at the business, it is far safer to make a memorandum of the quantities you had and how they sold, as well as what you should have had. There is one broad fact: A man who keeps a store buys everything and is under no expense for growing. He makes a fair profit on all he handles. But the man who has a greenhouse and retails should endeavor to raise all he possibly can and have it in the best order when wanted. If he has to buy much he makes little profit, for he has had the expense of running the greenhouses, which will more than consume the profits on what he buys. It is these considerations that com- pel us to see the great advantages of a division of labor. Growing or pro- ducing and retailing are entirely dis- tinct businesses. If you found a man with the ability for both, it would be impossible for him to practice both. One would unfit him for the other. And although there are perhaps thou- sands trying to do this very thing, the sooner this grand division of the busi- ness occurs the better. Azaleas. Azaleas that have been used for decorating or where not well enou.^h flowered to sell can either be put In a good warm house and encouraged to grow (in which ease they will set their buds very early and can be flowered early in the fall), or they can be put in a cool house and can wait till after Easter, when you will have others to prune back and start grow- ing. While on Azaleas, let me remind you that your Easter plants shouM now be in a very cool house. That splendid old variety, Mme. van der Cruyssen. is always diflicult to keep back, but remember that anything above freezing will do for the Indian azaleas that you want to retard. Cvtisus. Cytisus (or genista, as it is often called) also wants a very cool house. or it will be too early for the middle of April. Poinsettias. Poinsettias have sold so well that we are short of plants for next year's stock. If grown in pots, and you have any left, just lay them on their sides under a dry, warm bench; the dryer they get the better. Those grown on benches for cutting is where most of the stock will come from. They can be lifted and their roots put into ilats of dry soil and they will keep in any dry, warm house or shed. Early Ap- ril is quite early enough to start these old plants growing. Bfgonia Gloire de Lorraine. It is not advisable to try and grow on poor plants of the beautiful Gloire de Lorraine begonias. C5ood plants can be propagated now; or, rather, propagated now they will ; make fine plants a year hence. The European horticultural papers say 1 they propagate thera both by cuttings of the stems and leaves, the leaves making the thriftiest plants. We will 1 allow them to be the best authority, for our experience is yet limited with this most attractive of plants. Bulbs. We have practiced this winter as we preached, and brought in no tulips or Von Sions. Of late years there is always a large percentage of loss with these extra early attempts. After New Year's any of the good tulips, such a» La Reine, Waterloo, Yellow Prince, or Rose Grisdelin, will force early and surely as well as Von Sion narcissus, providing, of course, that you boxed them early enough to be now well rooted, and that you give them a top heat of 70 deg., with plenty of moisture, and covered with cheese cloth or some other shading. Don't attempt to force Dutch hya- cinths till February. They are not in any demand and not very satisfactory. Astilbe. It will be time now to pot your Astilbe japonica. Give the roots a good soaking before you pot them and if short of room they will do under the bench for four or five weeks. Crimson Ramblers. We have a number of Crimson Rambler roses that were grown during summer in 7 and 8-inch pots and which made canes of 5 and 6 ft. The wood is well ripened and as the roots are not disturbed they will, I believe, come into flower with 10 or 11 weeks in the houses. But those lifted from the ground in November should not be exposed to very hard freezing at any time and should be now in a very cool house and coming along slowly. They take a good fourteen weeks to bring them in right. It takes some time to get them well rooted; anything like forcing would be fatal unless they were rooted. With any plant of this kind, either established or not, it is proper to be- gin cool and let the heat increase gradually. If you have to do three weeks of strong forcing let it be the last three weeks, for that is natural and will do no harm. Hydrangeas. Hydrangeas could have been put into a cool house a month ago, but nothing like forcing should have been done up to this date. After they show signs of starting keep them in a tem- perature of .50 degrees. The last six weeks before Easter they will stand GO degrees at night without harm, but are easily hurt in the early stages of their growth. Various Plants. There are several plants of which you lifted several for stock and now "you have time and opportunity to propagate by putting in a batch of cuttings and disposing of the old plants, for the young stock will give you plentv of cuttings. 1 refer to sal- via, ageratum, acalypha, feverfew, lo- belia, sweet alyssum, etc. Lilies, The care of the Easter lilies will soon be on you, and you cannot begin to sort them over too soon. I no'fce at present that the Bermuda longiflorum will want at least 10 degrees higher from now on to bring them in with the JANl'AHV I. imw. The Weekly Florists^ Review* 127 Harrisii, aiul you may as well give them the extra heal at oneo. If the 7 to 9 Harrisii were potted and started soon after receiving the l)ull)s they will be plenty early enouRh in a nisht temperature ot IS to 50 decrees lor the next six weeks. 1 am slad to say that with Us tliere is a decrease in diseased plants from last voar. WM, SCOTT. NEW YORK. There is but little to record on the first day of the year. In regard to business, in a certain degree we might repeat what we wrote you last wcet-. Right after Christmas the weather be- came intensely cold and still continues so. It was impossible to sell llowers on the streets; too cold, even, to wear Traendly & Schenck's basement; the damage was very slight. Remember, next Monday night, .Ian- nary 8, the Florists' flub meets. Bowl- ing as usual in the afternoon. And on the Saturday following the New York Gardeners' Society will meet to dis- cuss the question of quarterly meet- ings, at which all the local societies will be invited to exhibit. It is pro- posed to hold a grand carnation show in March, and it is luii)ed samples of every new carnation in .\merica ivill be at this show. Then a rose show in June, and so on. Kindly prepare for them. This seems to be the season of fes- tivity. Invitations are still coming in from the outlying liorticultural socie- ties. We wish the trolley car or train services were better in many places. TARRYTOWN, N. Y. One of the most enjoyable affairs ever given by those in any way con- nected with horticulture in New York was the first annual dinner of the Tar- rytown Horticultural Society, held In the Vanderbilt building, Tarry town, December 28. Some seventy-five mem- bers and friends were present. From New York city to Sing Sing along the Hudson, and from \Vest Farms to Oreenwich along the Sound, there are probably more wealthy homes than can be found in any like rural section of the world, but this section of the coun- try is not only famous for its wealth and scenic beauty, but for its horticul- turists, and when, as on an occasion like the above, one can have the pleas- ure of meeting men whose names and 1 ■ -■-^^■-- -.-H. 1 H».-.n .. - - .■ 1 mm^^^KHI^ Iff %tfi^^^^' "^ * ■ ) J^^^'^ _, T W i~!

Of course, tliere was quite a business done, but if we quote the majority of both wholesalers and retailers, it was only equal to that of a good Saturday trade. Extra grade stock naturally went first, and at fairly good prices. There were many who offered plants and quite a few were sold. We don't wish to write anything discouraging on this day; nay, we would say if you are dis- satisfied in any way, try another. New York is a splendid market for any- thing good, but the worst of all for anything poor, and it will continue so. All the wholesalers and retailers seem hopeful for a good year and the indi- cations are bright; none brighter than •we wish them. There was quite a commotion among the Twenty-eighth street florists en Fri(i' y afternoon. The whole of the metropolitan flre department seemed to have been rushed to the street. The cause of it all was the electric wires in We hear they had heaps of fun at Flat- bush on the 28th. We are sorry we missed it. J. I. D. The employes of the well known firm of horticultural architects and build- ers, Messrs. Hitchings & Co., announce their third grand annual ball to be held in Columbia hall, 6t)S Ocean ave- nue, Jersey City, N. J., Tuesday even- ing, February ti, 1900. At their meeting for the election of officers for the ensuing year, held De- cember 4, 1899, the following officers were elected: President, Walter G. Gibbons; vice-president, .lohn N. Mc- Arthur. The committee on arrangements this year is an unusually active one, and promise that this ball will eclipse all their other attempts. No effort will be spared to make the evening an enjoy- able one, and to their host of friends they extend a cordial invitation to be present and share in the enjoyment. Prof. Beggs' orchestra will furnish the music. works are known all over, and others none the less earne.^t if known but locally, there is much to enjoy and more to learn. In the al)sence of Prej^ident Cock- burn, William Scott presided, and sur- rounding him were representatives cf the local, metropolitan and horticul- tural papers, the newly elected officers and some prominent local citizens. The menu was good and Messrs. Gibson, Neubraurt and Cooke deserve much credit for the general arrangement. With the coffee and cigars came the vocal and instrumental mu.sic and short speeches. Mr. Taafle, Jr., dis- pensed sweet sounds on the violin and cornet; John Whyte, S. Butterfield, W. E. Marshall, James Scott and others sang appropriate songs, and Judge An- drews, John Shore, P. R. Pierson, J. W. Withers, Wm. Anderson, J. I. Don- Ian and others spoke on timely topics. The election of officers for 1900 which took place at a short business meeting held before the dinner, re- sulted as follows: President, William 128 The Weekly Florists' Review. JANUARY 4. 1900. Turner; vice-president, William Stev- enson; treasurer, E. W. Neubrand; secretary, William McCord; executive committee, F. Gibson, L. A. Martin, R. Angus, M. J. Connellan, J. Egan, J. Nicoll. W. Scott and J. Smitb, each of whom assured the assemblage they would do their utmost to advance the interest of the society. It is intended to hold one or two grand flower shows during the year. J. I. D. BUFFALO. The glory of New Year's as a flower day has departed. Yet there was a fair business done. Few plants were asked for, and it was roses, carnations and violets that changed hands: Incoming aldermen and city officials were the recipients of baskets and bunches of kets devoted to flowers, the universal use, and extremely low prices, etc., and then the correspondent asked why our prices were out of the reach of the masses. We happen to know one man in Belgium growing carnations for the Paris market, growing them in our style, and he gets quite as good a price for his product the year round as we do in this country. Covent Garden also gets quite as good prices for roses and carnations as the grower gets in New- York, and I think if London and Paris had such Bridesmaids as New York offers, or the carnations from DailJe- douze Bros., that they would bring a larger price than they bring here Paris may and does get carloads of cheap rubbish from Italy which doubt- less sells at a very low figure, and that is what the casual observer notices, and then spins a yarn about. View in the wholesale store of Thos. Young, Jr. NEW YORK STORES AT CHRISTMAS. roses. The big charity ball came off in the evening and two buds emerged into society during the afternoon, and, al- together, there was an air of good feel- ing and good business. The real air was a few degi-ees above zero, with plenty of snow, with the sun shining, so from the native point of view it wa.s an ideal New Year's. Prices ruled about the same as at Christmas, with a rather better opportunity for the re- tailer to come out whole. All nature will feel the lengthening days, even if they be at present but a trifle longer, and we shall soon have more flowers, a cheaper price and more sales. It is pleasanter all round to sell to more people at a reasonable price than to the select few at what seems an extortionate price, although these holiday prices are no extortion, neither the grower nor the retailer get- ting more than a very moderate profit. I read in one of our best dailies a few weeks ago an article on the flower markets of Paris, the number of mar- If we had fuel for hauling, or at George Fancourt's price, intelligent slaves for help and a few other advan- tages, we might produce flowers at le:^s cost. But with present conditions and prices the margin of profit is small, even in the best managed establish- ments. In sunny climes, where flow- ers spring from Mother Earth the year round, there are no florists; but where blizzards prevail and flowers are a lux- ur.v, florists exist, and till we can get flowers from Porto Rico or Mexico landed here as good as the homo prod- uct twliicli they never can be), flowers will cost money when produced under glass and under such unfavorable con- ditions. "W. S." received a terrible call-dov/n from "W. N. R.," the sage of .Vlt. Greenwood, 111. You would not think that placid, smooth and lovable man had so much venom or would attemi)t to crush a "poor worm," but we know him. Oh, yes, we know him. He is not angry at the writer, but hates the noble society which he founded to be called in question even in the slightest. We freely acknowledge the Ananias Society to be noble without any ques- tion, but were not so sure that out- side of its membership it was consid- ered so noble. We made a mistake and are sorry for it, and trust that with this apology the noble founder will not seek to deprive us of our of- fices and emoluments. W. S. C. S. A.

Is it too late for a word about Christ- mas? Well, we had one. There is no doubt about that. The skies were blue and balmy, the gentlest of zephyrs wafted the odor of the growing grass, the bii'ds twittered about their spring costumes, and only a very few days ago both pansies and dandelions were to be had for the seeking in their nat- ural haunts. Oh, it was Christmas all right. And trade went funny. There was an al- most standstill, with even a droop in prices until Saturday morning, when it burst upon the timid salesmen like the attack of the Boers upon Bullcr's relief column. Never was there a more quick lunch made of a huge supply of all kinds of bloom. Prices doubled up like a jack-knife: roses 8 to 40 cents each in pink, white and in Meteors, and Beauties called for $1.50 each in best grades. Pinks started out brave- ly, but met with a slight rebuff, and the always accommodating dealers went down a peg on figures so that m the aggregate they did not go so well as the roses. And it was the same on violets. Starting at $2..'')0 and $3 per 10(1 in the morning, they were obliged to sell at less than half that before night. But both pinks and violets were scarce for a day or two afterwards and sold for better prices. Since Christ- mas, trade has been rather quiet, nat- urally, but we are still throwing open the boxes and looking around hope- fully. The only driftwood that has tjoated upon the beach within my reach is the wreck of the Stearns Company down on the reefs of Ordway Place. Cap- tain Stearns and Sailing Master James JANUARY 1, ItKJO.

Galvin are safe, but some few owners of freight shipped via that line lost all they had on board. It is not yet known whether any will be saved. Since writing this letter it has be- gun to snow and indications are that wo are in for a regular old style fall of it. B. T. PHILADELPHIA. Business has been good the past week, there being an old-time New Year's rush over the balls and parties given. Hugh Graham had two large decora- tions and .lulius Wolff, Jr., did the decorating for a wedding at the Mer- cantile Club, which required all his palms and an immense quantity of cut flowers. Good Beauties, Brides and Maids are still very scarce. We notice a few daf- fies coming in, but not enough to make it worth while quoting. Prices Beauties. $3 to $9 per dozen; Brides and Maids, firsts $8 to $15, seconds $3 to $S: Kaiserins. Meteors, Morgans, Gontiers, Golden Gate, $3 to $15: La France and Perles, $4 to $8; Liberty $15 to $40 per 100. Cattleyas, .$60; cy- pripediums, $15; carnations, ordinary, .$1.50 to $3; fancy. $4 to $8; hyacinths, $2 to $3; valley, $3 to $5; narcissus, $:5 to $4; mignonette, $4; violets, single, 50 to 75 cents; double. $1 to $1.50; as- paragus. 50 cents; adiantum. $1; smi- lax, 15 cents. R. ChrUtmas Note . Christmas, ninety-nine, proved ideal from a grower's standpoint. The weather for the first five days of the week before was clear and cool. Satur- day and Sunday were cloudy, but not until Christmas day did a cold wave reach Philadelphia. The effect of this was that plants, especially plants in bloom, could be safely and expeditious- ly delivered; the blooms for cutting matured rapidly and colored nicely, and everything that could reasonably be expected in flower flowered in time. The result was that the growers and retailers had a splendid Christmas, The wholesalers would perhaps have clone better had stock been a trifle scarcer; many growers who retail their product did not require so much extra stock as usual from the wholesale houses. There was more stock to be had at the last moment than usual. Lower grade carnations were very plentiful; the street men had lots of them to sell at 25 cents a dozen. Beauties and violets were scarce and. of course, all the choice grades of cut flowers. The best Beauty roses were very fine and brought $15 a dozen; as far as known the effort to secure more for them in this city failed. A great many were sold at from $0 to .$12 a dozen; smaller flowers at from $4 to $3 a dozen. John Burton had about 400 nic^ Brunners. On being asked the price. his salesman airily replied, "Oh, ve are making them pay a dollar." For several seasons past the gr?at Bridesmaid growers hereabouts have become almost accustomed to taking down in several senses of the term. Their chosen retailer will beckon them below stairs and there show a choice vase of Maids from some medium or small grower which has astonished them. First it was "Samuelson, of Hatboro," then Savage of Mt. Airy, Jennings of Olney, Knox of Fox Chase, Mortensen of Southampton; now it is Weiss of Hatboro. Such Maids! with deep, rich color, stems thick as Beau- ties, and not a few of them, either. The price for these and a few specials. $25 a hundred; choice stock, $20. The feature of the plant trade, and it was very large, was the business done in bloomers. I do not mean to say blooming stock was more popular than foliage plants, for it was not; but the increase was much greater in propor- tion to the business done in former years, and the prices obtained wer^? surprising. Azaleas were very evenly flowered and sold well; also heaths. The crowning glory of this class were the new Begonia Gloire de Lor- raine. Our Thorley handled a large number of these plants. It was said he lay awake at night deciding the prices to be asked. His system, from which the growers can take a lesson, was something like this: "Now, this plant cost me $2; it must bring $4. Now. here is one from the Due de Lor- raine that cost $3; it is more than twice as good as that $2 one: we will make it $8. Now, getting $S makes one consider the possibilities of .$9; I must find a plant worth $9!" Whether he did is not known, but $8 apiece for begonias is a pretty good price, anyway. Among the foliage plants, Bostoii ferns and kentias were very good ami very popular. Robert Craig & Son had a $5 sized Boston that was in great demand. Now a word tor the consumer. 1 think he has every reason to be satis- fied with his Christmas purchases from the florists. Prices were high, but not for poor stock. As good, and in many cases better, value was given for the money than ever before. Fewer or- ders were refused and little delay or damage occurred in delivery. GROWER. ST. LOUIS. The Market. New Year's traile. though nothing extraordinary, was fairly good, with choice stock very scarce and prices somewhat lower. The quality of stock that is coming in now is not very good. Shipping trade all through the season was above the average. Beauties are a scarce article in this market and the few that come in bring top prices. Brides. Maid, Meteors and Perles bring from $G to $15 per 100. Carnations are quite plentiful and in good demand. Scotts, Daybreak and all whites sell from $2 to $4; some fancy ones bring $5. Good reds are very scarce. Violets are scarce and California sells at $1.-50 to $2; small singles, 50 cents. Good doubles very scarce. Valley is in fine demand at $4 and $5 per 100. Romans and paper whites are still a glut and are sell- ing for about nothing. Harrisii not in yet. Callas bring $10 and $15. Mis- tletoe is in great demand, but very little to be had. Smilax sold well the past week at $12.50. What the different fiorists say about Christmas trade: Riessen Floral Co: Business great. Worked three nights all through be- fore Christmas. Best we ever had. John Kunz: Sold out clean; busi- ness better than ever before, with good prices. Fred Foster; Had a big stock of fruit and flowers and got away with it all; biggest business yet. Ellison & Tesson: Both of our stores did a big business; in fact, all we could handle, with plenty of fine stock of our own. Miss T. Badaracco: We did finely; great improvement over last year. C. Young & Sons Co.: Had plenty of stock, and trade great; everything sold well, about 50 per cent better than last year. Ostertag Bros.: Our business was better than ever. Good prices were obtained for choice stock. Green goods sold better than ever before. George Walbart. Mrs. Ayers, and Mary Ostertag, on Grand Avenue, say that they were worked to death on Christmas day; business much better than last year. F. C. Weber, Chas. Connon, and Miss Newman sold out early in the day. Business better than last year, yet with better prices. C. C. Sanders was well pleased with the holiday trade; sold pretty well out of everything. Gus Eggling. Beyer, Schray, Fill- more, Diemer, and Juengel, on the south side, did great business in cut flowers and plants. Oscar Heile. on South Broadway, did much better than last year. The north side florists. Fred Mein- hardt. Julius Koenig's Sons, Julius Koenig, Jr., Max Rotter, and Brix. claim that this Christmas was better than they expected, especially green stuff: they sold out clean before the day was over. Death of H. W. Chandler. Harry W. Chandler, who a few years ago was the head of the Chandler Flora! Co., died Tuesday from appen- dicitis. Mr. Chandler was well known among the trade. It will be remem- bered that be took an active part in entertaining the members of the S. A. F. when the convention was held here in 1893. The funeral took place Thursday afternoon from the fafiily residence. Quite a few florists were seen at the house during the funeral services. JANUARY -1, 1900.

Christmas trade was good and every- body was satisfied. Rverything sold well with the exception of pot plants, only a few pots of maidenhair fern and Roman hyacinths being sold. A few of our retailers made quite a cute move in removing a large part of their get $1, Flora Hill $1, fancy mixed col- ors 75 cents; I'ortias and Scolts sold at $1 per three dozen. Violets were very scarce, a rush being made on them. Princess of Wales, $2 to $2.r.O; Califor- nia $2; Swanley White $2. Marie Lou- ise $2 per dozen bunches. Roman hya- cinths sold well and better than ex- I)ected at $1 per three dozen; seconds $1 per four dozen. Free.sias, 35 cents j)er dozen. Smilax, 10 cents per string; asparagus, 15 to 20 cents per string. Outside chrysanthemums, 50 to 75 cents per dozen. The weather was fine and helped the llorist very much in disposing of his stock The largest date palm so far as known in the state was planted in the Palace Hotel court this week. The plant is thirty-four feet in height, Cypripediums at Koff man's. NEW YORK STORES AT CHRISTMAS. Things That Are Not Likely to Happen in 1900. That Charlie Kuehn will bowl on crutches. That Emil Schray will get married. That Frank Fillmore will make 300 at bowling. That Fred Weber and John Kunz will quit attending euchre parties. That Robt. Beyer will attend one night at the bowling alleys. That Henry Berning will stay away from the South Side. That Bob Tes- son will stop growing. That the jun- iors will beat the older club at bowl- ing. That Ed. Buechel will not at- tend one banquet. That Chart San- ders will grow a beard. That John Young will quit playing billiards. That Carl Beyer will attend every bowling night. That Fred Ammann will mi-^s a club meeting. That Frank Ellis wil\ stay on this side of the river. That the whidesalers will quit selling to the fakir. That Fred Foster will quit the fruit business. That the club will hold a chrysanthemum show. That Max potted plants to the cellars, claiming they could be sold some other day. while Christmas flowers could not. The few who tried this nlan found it suc- cessful, as it enabled them to sell their stock of cut flowers clean at good prices. Choice American Beauties were scarce and brought $5 to $9 per dozen. Brides and Bridesmaids were of better quality and went at $2 per dozen; Perles $1.50, La France $1 to $1.50 per dozen, Cecil Brunners went at $1 per three dozen. Papa Gontiers $1 to $1.50 per dozen. Meteors $2 to .$2.50. Poin- settias sold nicely, wholesale price be- ing $2 to $3 per dozen, a good many customers preferring the poinsettia at $5 per dozer, retail to the higher priced American Beauty. Carnations went freely and some nice flowers were to be seen. The Hanna Hobarts at Sie- ver's store were grand and large, some being four inches across. Prices for carnations were: Hobarts, $1.25, $2 and $2.50 per dozen: Bradts $1, Gold Nug- nearly four feet around the trunk and cost $500 in the ground at the Califor- nia Nurseries. Niles, Cal. The cost of lifting and transportation to San Franci.«co and replanting amounted to several hundred dollars more. The plant weighs ten tons and required twelve horses and nearly a score of men to move it. A marble box is to be placed around the plant, which makes one more ornament to San Francisco's best hotel. J. X. SAN JOSE SCALE. A bulletin issued by the New Jer- sey Experiment Station announces that crude petroleum applied to dor- mant trees destroys all scales without injury to the trees. Kerosene emul- sion is even better. The work must be thoroughly done, as the oil kills only by contact. It can be applied by either a brush or as a spray. If used in summer it should be applied to the trunk and branches only and not to the foliage. 132 The Weekly Florists' Review. JANUARY 4, 1900. CHICAGO. The Market. New Year's trade was fully equal to that of last year. It would probably have been better if the weather bad not been so bitterly cold. However, nothing much is expected of New Year's any more except "a good Sat- urday business" on the day preced- ing. The supply was not very large and everything went except white, and we hear of a few thousand violets being left over. Although the supply has increased a trifle during the past week there is not too much in colored stock to meet current demand at ruling rates, though the customary lull that always follows the holidays is now with us. Beauties still remain very scarce and prices are held up to Christmas rates. On other stock prices are generally easier. The price lists of two whole- salers will be found in their advs. in this issue. McKellar & Winterson did an enor- mous business in Christmas greens this year. Holly was in better de- mand than ever. Immense quantities of green wreathing were called for, with fewer sales of the green in bulk. The winter berry has succumbed to the bitter cold weather and the last batch received was worthless. This firm is showing a fine line of pre- pared palms, and are able to meet the views of all sorts of buyers in palms. The immense business now done in hardy ferns is shown by the fact that Kennicott Bros. Co. alone sold 104.000 of them in one week. They are also handling galax in very large quanti- ties. E. C. Amling is now installed in his handsome new quarters and they are so swell that a person involuntarily looks for a colored attendant at the door to take his coat and hat. The office enclosure is about ready to go into place and when really settled Mr. Amling will surely have a gem of a wholesale house. Mr. Heffron pre- sides over a long line of solid oak tables and greets each comer witli that inimitable Heffronic smile. Peter Reinberg is now sole occu- pant of the former Reinberg Bros, place, and Mr. Spencer seems to find none too much space even then. Geo. Reinberg is installed in the place formerly occupied by Mr. Am- ling, and Robert Northam is in charge. Various Items. A small blaze at the store of the Weiland-Risch Floral Co. in Evanston was caused by loose papers blowing in on to live coals. We hear that Mr. W. N. Rudd had a very early caller on New Year's day — somewhere between 2 and 4 a. m.— who failed to leave his card but took with him a few souvenirs of his visit, including Mr. Rudd's valued diamond stud, a purse and his wife's watch. Mr. R. can go home at any time of the night now and tell Mrs. R. that it is just 9 o'clock, and she won't be the wiser. The big drop in the price of glass has decided Wietor Bros, to go ahead with their intended building opera- tions. The new glass will include ten houses for Beauties, ten for Brides and Maids, five for Meteors and the remainder for carnations. The total additions will require from 150,000 to to 17.5,000 square feet of glass. August Lange does things on a large scale and admits no light weights. A baby boy arrived at his house last Sunday and it tipped the scales at 15 pounds. Some of the north side florists in- dulged in bowling on New Year's eve, and admit the following scores: W. Graft, 104: Sam Pearce, 110; R. Damm, 103; G. Damm, 81; P. "Weber. 93; E. Weber. S3; E. Benthey, 182. The annual meeting of the Horticul- tural Society of Chicago is near at hand. E. H. Hunt's new catalogue is about ready for the press. WESTCHESTER, PA. What is said to be the largest mushroom house in America is now being constructed by Mr. S. Rassmus- sen. superintendent of the John Wy- eth farm at Westtown. The building is 88x110 feet, having four tiers of beds, giving about 40,000 square feet of planting area. The building is con- structed with a driveway through the center, so the manure can be driven into the liuilding and by means of a traveling derrick be conveyed to any part of the building, and aftel^he upper beds are made up the driveway itself is utilized for bedding. The house is to be heated with two Hitchings hot water boilers and piped with 4-inch cast iron pipe. It will require 625 tons of manure to make up the beds and 7,500 pounds of spawn to plant them. In addition to this house, they now have in bearing three others, having a bedding area of 6,800 square feet, from which they are now shipping about 50 pounds of mushrooms daily to New York and Washington. Mr. Rassmussen says they find the growing of mushrooms more profitable than many crops they grow, especially the forcing of grapes, which has been a leading feature with them for many years. Since the foreign grape has forced the price so low the home grow- ers find no profit in it, and they as well as many others have taken up other specialties. Mr. Howard Thompson, of Tough- kenamon, who has for some months been confined to bed with a frac- tured leg. caused by the falling of a bench while making repairs in one of his carnation houses, is imiu-oving, and it is hoped will soon be able to resume his duties. Mr. Thompson was a heavy loser by the severe hail storm which visited this section last fall, and this misfortune so closely follow- ing calls for much sympathy. Carnations in this section are ex- ceptionally fine and the yield all that can be desired. The growers are quite jubilant over the great demand and say if the prices keep up they will come out on top this season. "Violets are not so encouraging; the crop is oft in this section, but those who have good ones are realizing big prices for liicrr.. X. OUR GENERAL INTRODUCTION.

Ou Nov. 14tii a preliminary meeting was called at Chestnut Hill, to con- sider the advisability of organizing a horticultural society. The movement met with much favor and the "Chest- nut Hill Horticultural Society" was organized, officers were elected to serve until January 1, 1900, at which time the officers for 1901 1 will be elected. A committee on by-laws was appointed and reported at the meeting held Dec. 21st. at which time the by-laws were adopted. ; At the December meeting a commit- tee on schedule was appointed which will report at the .January meeting. J. H. H. CLEANING GLASS. Replying to M. N.'s inquiry as to how to clean glass on the outside when it is covered with coal smoke, I have always used hot water and ammonia. Add enough ammonia to the water to have the desired effect and apply with a sponge wired to a pole of sufficient length. There is an oily substance com- bined with coal smoke and you must use something to cut the oil. Lye or sal soda would do it, but it will also take off any paint that it comes in contact with. WM. H.

No bulbous stuff was offered. I'lants didn't move as well as ex- pected, though good azaleas, cycla- men, primula.s and poinsettias were of- fered. It was useless to talk flowering plants, palms or ferns to young men buyers. They wanted flowers, and mainly fancy carnations, and would have them or nothing. Mr. Heilig happened to have a patch of smilax in blossom and the people took it as a novelty. It sold reailily at 25 cents a yard or 73 cents a siring. Late chrysanthemums did good serv- ice and several hundred were sold at .f2 to $2.00 a dozen. Large quantities of holly and othei greens were sold. Tliey were handled by all sorts of stores, which also had paper llowers and artificial palms. But this seemed to have no effect on the sales of natural flowers. People who buy this stuff wouldn't buy fresh flow- ers, anyway. H. NEW TOMATO FOR 1900 Mention Tlie R. I'iew \vbt"n jijii mtH-' LIVINGSTON'S MAGNUS.

FLORISTS' PUBLISHING CO., Caxton Building, CHICAGO J 40 The Weekly Florists^ Review* JANUARY 4. 1900. OAKLAND, CAL. Our Christmas trade was the flnest in many years. The weather v.'as splendid and everybody connected with the business were liept a.s busy as bees. Cut flowers, holly, redwood wreaths and Christmas trees were most in de- mand. Plant sales were poor, which caused a surprise, as many of the stores had made fine displays of potted plants. Violets were scarce and the demand was great for them. The Christmas prices were as follows: Beauties. $.5 to $S per dozen; Brides and Bridesmaids, $2 per dozen: Peries, $1.50 to $2; Cecil Brunners, 2.5 cents; La France, $1 to .$L50; Portias and Seotts, 35 cents: Flora Hill, 50 cents to $1; Bradts, $1 to $L50; mixed fancies, 75 cents to $1. Bulb stock went slow- ly. Koman hyacinths, 25 cents; free- sias. 35 cents; lily of the valley, 75 cents; smilax, $10 per 100; asparagus, .$15 per KX) strings; poinsettias, $10 to $15 per- 100. The poinsettia sold well at a good profit to the retailer. Vio- lets, Princess of Wales, $2 and $2.50; California, $1.50 to $2.00 per dozen bunches. N. Symacopulos, our Broadway flor- ist, was well satisfied with his Christ- mas trade; 500 wreaths were disposed of at prices ranging from 25 cents lo $3 each. Mr. S. felt a little uneasy about his poinsettias. not knowing how they would take in this market. How- ever, they soon caught public fancy in its flight and sold like hot cakes. Mr. S. declares he will arm himself with a larger supply next year. La Fleur de Lis, on Washington street. Mme. Prentice, the owner, re- ports a fine Christmas trade. English holly, of which they carried a fine stock, was sold out clean. Also were their Princess of Wales violets, for which this establishment is noted, ths stock offered being the finest in town. H. S. Sanborn and his assistants were kept as busy as beavers getting out Christmas orders, of which he had a large share. Mr. S. reports business 40 per cent better than last year. E. Gill reports a very busy Christ- mas with them. Plant sales were slow, their call being chiefly for cut flowers, holly, berries and wreaths. Mr. H. Morse, who some months ago opened a cozy little store near the en- trance of the Mountain View Ceme- tery, was well satisfied with his share of Christmas trade. A few dozen spikes of gladiolus were to be seen on sale at this place on Christmas day, which seems unusual for this season of the year, being cut from outside. .1. N. TOLEDO, 0.— Mr. O. E.

In color, size, fragrance and stem it is just what the "storemea'' want. In habit, constitution and freedom of bloom it is just what the grower wants, never out of crop from Sept to July, more flowers to the square foot than any other known variety and practically no seconds.

MIDDLETOWN, CONN.— Christmas trade was good here, yet there was enough of everything to go around in cut flowers, except carnations and pa- per whites. Roses sold for $2 and $2.25 a dozen; Roman hyacinths. 6ii cents; carnations, 40 cents; violets, $2 50 and $3. Holly was good and sold well. .\11 of the wreaths handled by the florists here are made by the farmers, with the exception of Beebe's. He makes his own, and they are by far the best and bring the higher price. Palms were in less demand this year than former years. Small ferns sold well, also Bos- ton ferns, but not as well as antici- pated. Flowering plants were in good demand, but they were not to be had. Business kept up good all day Christ- mas. Mr. Stednian, the florist, died nn December 16. His death was caused by a cold contracted while out gathering Christmas greens. The business con- ducted by him will be discontinued after January 6. F. FAIRBURY, ILL.— There was a de- cided increase in Christmas trade and flowers sold for much higher prices than in former years. The principal call was for colored carnations.

There is nothing more beautiful at this time of the year than what are generally called "Spring blossoms," and considering how easily they are forced the wonder is that we don't see and use more of them. Anythiug out of season is attractive, and these flow- ers are very much appreciated in se- lect circles. There's nothing specially new in the material but there promises to be in decorations exclusively of tbeni. Just suppose that instead of your avenue of palms or arbor of greens for a wed- ding decoration you had an avenue of peach trees all a mass of bloom, or a canopy of apple blossoms. Why of course you can have such things if you want to and prepare for it. Many flowering shrubs, such as Cydonia jap- onica, Forsythia viridissima. several varieties of lilac, double flowering cherry and almond, weigelias, deutzias. mock orange, spireas such as S. Van Houttei and S. prunifolia. etc., are yearly forced for the New York market and just now some of it. especially Japan quince and forsythia. makes a pretty and interesting window display. Most of this kind of stock is easily forced. You can usually tell flowering wood by size of the bud. Cut the branches in good lengths, tie them compactly together at the bottom, put them in a deep jar or tub of water and put them in your greenhouse. They will soon come in flower, and always try a variety; they will pay you some- way. People want such stock, it is a change from what is mauled about in the market. As to the uses such blossoms can be put to they are too numerous to mention. You can use ' them in all manner of decorations. Some of the prettiest tables we have even done or seen were decorated with high colored quince, but you must have a light blue, a milk white, pink or green vase for it, and very little or no green and that of a very graceful kind such as Asparagus tenuissimus, Y'ou must not arrange this kind of ma- terial stiffly or bunchy if you want good results; a studied— careless— fall- ing-over appearance is best, and care should be taken to have it in water. Suppose you are flxing up for a re- ception, ball, wedding or any festive occasion, nothing will give more satis- faction than a mass of such blossoms, but be careful, have the colors sepa- rate and a distance from each other and have them high up where dresses will not become entangled. It is an easy matter to fix up a natural look- ing arch of them and let the people walk under them, as almost everybody loves to think of spring and its myri- ads of smiling flowers. You can get up a mighty good effect in flowering apple trees liy getting a tree from the nureery, plant it in a green jardiniere, get a few Leucothoe branches, green the top as if they were growing, then tie on your forced Japan quince. You can make up a pretty tree of almost anything in this way and the tendency in decorative ideas will run that way, only we must be careful to copy nature as much as possible. If we wish to manufacture rose trees for instance we should get standard roses and use rose foliage; there's nothing more beautiful than a well made up standard rose tree of Meteors, Morgans or some such rose. These things have often been attempt- ed and have been mostly failures l)e- cause we try to convince people that roses grow on bay trees, or that smilax is the right foliage, or some such weak- ness, shutting our eyes to the fact that if florists want to be artistic they must either imitate nature or improve her models. There is more or less nonsense in the oft repeated assertions that we cannot improve what Nature teaches, for we have to do it every day in some elements, but all the same she's a good teacher and you won't go far wrong if you study her closely. A great deal of trouble arises in the case of flower and foreign foliage; truly there are many kinds of foliage we cannot use, but if we cannot, we ought to be more careful as to substi- tutes; bad or inappropriate foliage will cheapen, nay, entirely destroy the effect of the choicest flower, and it's generally safer to use very little or none at all where it is unavoidable. But let us return to flowering shrubs just for a moment. We were just thinking that if a "Southern Lassie" were to come north to marry just now, it would be a pleasing and appropriate feature to have her wear or carry mag- nolia blooms. The tables could be decorated handsomely with them and altogether they could be made a beautiful adjunct to the spreading palms they usually demand te absurd to say that the plant was enervated with that start. Geraniums. Our largest job just at present is JANI'ARV II. l:««i- The Weekly Florists' Review, 159 shifting goraniums from 2 to :i-iiifli pots, in whicli tliey will reni:iiii till first of April. You can grow geraniums clipaper but we get a good price for them and o\ir i)eoplc expoci a fine plant in a 4-inch pot with one cir two blooms by liedding time, end papers have so often published articles on this sub- ject that anything I say will only be repeating an old story. If you in- tend hybridizing carnations, you must not expect to make a fortune from your seedlings, for there are only a few who are fortunate enough to get a Lawson among their seedlings. There will be hardly any financial re- turns, but the pleasure derived in watching "The Babies," as you will soon call the seedlings, as they de- velop and bloom, will amply repay you for your trouble. The first thing necessary in hybrid- izing carnations is the selection of parents, and here you must use your best judgment. I always try to se- lect two parents that combine free- dom of bloom, good stem and growth, Fleischmann's store and delivery wagons. NEW YORK STORES AT CHRISTMAS. years ago, "Pere Crozy," is a jewel. It is a distinct cross between the ivy leaf and the zonal, and partakes of both types. It is covered with its bright red flowers just when you need them, and last spring sold at sight. ' I cannot once more speak too highly of the beautiful semi-double pink zonal "Frances Perkins." It has completely sent the old Emile de Gerardin, Mme. Thibaut and the rest of the pinks to Sheol, which in Greek was a dump pile but in translation got tangled up with a place where they fry and frizzle for everlasting, a sort of natural gas furnace. WM. SCOTT. EASTER LILIES. A subscriber asks for information about his lilies and says: "At what ris, of Philadelphia, as we walked up Cocoanut street, or some other nutty street of that beautiful city, "the East- er lily is not so profitable a plant as it appears, for there is a great amount of labor entailed if you are going to get a large percentage in flower just when you want them." And any long distance instruction is useless. It is easy to grow a good lily; most any one can do that, but to get 95 per cenfl in the right condition about the Thursday before Easter requires gardening genius highly developed and actively exercised. Without boasting, with the closest personal attention, some eight or nine years ago I succeeded in bringing in about 1,200. and there were not 20 plants that had not one or more open good color, and large size. I select the flower which is to be the seed bearer, or mother, first, and I always see that the flower is as near a per- fect specimen of the variety I select as possible. I cut away the petals from around the pistils, leaving them exposed until they are ready to re- ceive the pollen, which will take sev- eral days. You can tell when the pistils are ready to receive the pollen by their turning downward and out- ward. When this happens you must select the pollen parent, or father. If I have selected a mother that has some defect. I try to get a pollen parent that is without this defect, or if the color is not as good as I think it should be, I select a pollen parent that has the color I desire. Even with 160 The Weekly Florists' Review* JANUARY U, 1900. this careful selection you must not expect to get what you want, for often the opposite color or growth is the re- sult. The best time to put the pollen on is early in the day. I hybridize alto- gether by hand; going to the pollen plant, I carefully cut out the stamens ■containing the pollen and carry it to the variety I have selected to cross, and there I carefully brush the pol- len against the pistils. As soon as I select the mother plant. I put a tag to the flower, and on this the name of the seed parent, and as soon as I fertilize the pistils I put the name of the pollen parent under the other name, and the date they were crossed. Tagging must be done "carefully If we want to know the parents of our seed- lings. In a few days after fertilizing the pistils you will notice the seed pod beginning to form, and in seven or eight weeks this will have ripened, and then you take it off and sow it at once, always being careful to get the right label on the pot. In three or four weeks the seedlings will ap- pear, and then they must l>e handled very carefully, for they damp off very easily and the snails are very fond of the young plants. When they are large enough I transplant into flats or thumb pots, and then handle them as I would young carnations, only that after I plant them in the field I do not cut them back, for it is desirable to have them bloom in the field, as this will save the trouble of housing a few hundred absolutely worthless va- rieties. I like to cross my varieties as early as possible, so that I can have the young seedlings ready early in the spring to plant out doors. As soon as the plants begin to form buds the seedling grower will become anxious, and he can hardly keep him- self from breaking open the calyx of some of the most promising appearing buds, so as to see what color they are. Many times have I been disappointed, for the most promising buds have the ugliest colors. Those seedlings that I think worthy of another trial I label by numbers, putting this number in a book kept for that purpose and beside the num- ber I put the parent variety's name and a brief description of its color and any other distinguishing feature. From the labeled varieties I take cut- tings, always being very careful about the labels. These cuttings I handle the same as those of old varieties of carnations. I believe all seedlings ■ should be tried three years before the grower makes any claim of superiority over existing varieties, and as I have only tried my seedlings for one year, I cannot brag on any of my varieties. As every father thinks his children the best, it is the same with seedling growers, and I have two varieties, one a white and one a red, which, if they prove to be good growers and free bloomers and always have the same flowers as the first was, I believe that I, too, will have a "world beater." AMERICAN CARNATION SOCIETY. The program and schedule of pre- miums for the 9th annual meeting of the above society has bsen issued. The meeting and exhibition is to be held in Morgan TTatl, Buffalo, N. Y., Feb. 15th and 16th next.

In Class A first prizes of $12.00 and sec- ond prizes of $6.00 each are offered for vases of 100 blooms In white, light pink, dark pink, scarlet, crimson, yel- low variegated, white variegated, and any other color. In Class B prizes of $6.00 and $3.00 are offered for vases of .50 blooms in similar divisions of color. In class C introductions of 1899 are called for and 2.5 blooms each are named with prizes of $3.00 and $1.50.- The Lawson gold medal, valued at $60.00. will be awarded for the best 100 blooms, any variety and any color. Copies of the program and schedule may be had by addressing Albert M. Herr, Sec'y, Lancaster, Pa. Regislrat on. Mr. James Allen, gardener to A. C. Lambert, Paterson, N, J., registers — '"Belle Vista," a cross between Scott and Daybreak, in color, a light pink, petals large and broad, a clean, strong grower; habit and growth resembles Scott, and it is a very free bloomer.

My dear friend Charley's Uncle: 1 read your kind remarks in the Flo- rists' Review and meant to have long ago sent in some comments on them. I note your general dislike for the (Greek) fakir. One would know that you have never done business in a city like Chicago, where there are a million or more flowers to be sold each day. As I have said in my notes, you could not run a commission business here without the fakirs. As a matter of fact there should be a time set for that class of trade known as the street men, but the Greek with the corner stand often handles better flowers than a great many retail florists and pays more for them. As a commission man, I for one must say that we only represent the stock, and it cuts no ice with us who buys it so long as he pays the price, and I will repeat that I have often seen stock sold to fakirs at 10 to 20 per cent more than a florist was willing to pay for the same grade, and the florist could use but a hun- dred or two, while there was more than that many thousands to be dis- posed of. Have you ever seen a buyer in I lie retail trade that was not always com- plaining about the price? If so, you have seen more than I, and I have been in the commission business a few days at that. You were right in regard to the grading of stock and the proof of it is that you see those that do grade have big places and live up-to-date, whereas those thai don't grade have a struggle to get along. In regard to our line not being in the commercial world. I will again have to differ with you. The fakir again. He seTIs cheap flowers, never- theless he makes flower lovers. The cheap florist sells the medium class, and he makes lovers of flowers. The aristocratic florist (as you call him) sells the swell trade, and he makes flower buyers. Now with that you have made the flower a thing of value to the people, and anything of value is commercial. CHARLEY'S AUNT. CHRYSANTHEMUM TIMOTHY EATON. The wonderful white chrysanthe- mum illustrated herewith is called "Timothy Eaton." A dozen flowers were sent to me about December the first. The same flowers had been at two exhibitions and had been packed and unpacked seveial times and had been cut fourteen days. With the ex- ception of a slight discoloring of the bottom petals they were perfect and were the largest, finest and heaviest chrysanthemum flowers I have ever seen. After arrival in our city they were in good order for another week. So much for their keeping qualities, which I should think are hardly equaled in any variety. The foliage is fine, something like Jerome Jones, and close up to the flower. The stem is the stoutest I have ever seen, and as the photograph will show as stiff as the proverbial poker. In fact in leaf, stem, substance and keeping qualities I am not aware of its equal. The flowers were of uniform size, but the average of several measured was 21 inches over from stem to stem and 23 inches in circumference; but these measurements give you little idea of its immense size and sub- stance; by the side of fairly good Ni- veus and Jones they made the latter look like carnations. The picture will show better than I can describe the style of flower. It is full, but not crowded: no vestige of an eye but a round, deep, beautifully symmetrical flower, and pure white. Timothy Eaton took the first prize at Toronto for best six white, a spe- cial as the best blooms in the show, a silver cup for merit and a first class certificate, and it would, I feel sure, have done all this at any show on the continent. In justice to Mr. Miller, Sr.. I must repeat what he toUi me about their culture, which was that these won- derful flowers were cut from plants JANUARY 11, IDUO. The Weekly Florists^ Review. 161 Chrysanthemum Timothy Eaton. that were put on the bench the sec- ond week in July in five inches of garden soil, without a particle of ani- mal or artificial manure. They were grown and exhibited by E. Miller & Sons, Bracondale. Toronto, Ont., who own the stock and who have, I venture to say, the greatest white chrysanthemum ever raised. WM. SCOTT. AMONG CHICAGO GROWERS. Basse't & Washburn. The great range of glass at Hins- dale is always interesting and among the most attractive features are the two immense carnation houses, one 54x600 and the other 30x600. They are literally carnation fields under glass, and a view down that 600 feet of bloom and foliage is one to be re- membered. Crane and America show up promi- nently among the reds and both are very satisfactory. Mr. Bassett likes the color of Crane a little the best and things he gets a few more flowers than from America, but the difference is slight. Both are more profitable than Jubilee and that variety will be dropped from the list after this year. Mr. Washburn thinks that America takes in the market a trifle better than Crane. But the differences are all de- batable and there is no question but what both are very desirable kinds. In color Crane is almost exactly the same shade as Jubilee. America is a trifle lighter. White Cloud and Flora Hill are both much in evidence. White Cloud has rather a better flower and stem than Hill, but it is more of a cropper and produces a few le.ss flowers during a season. Last year they had a good deal of trouble with Hill, losing fully 10 per cent, of the plants from stem rot after they were housed, not to mention losses in the fleld, but this year the variety is almost entirely free from disease. Both sorts are highly regarded here. Mrs. Bradt is still the leader in fan- cy sorts and is a very steady producer, though Mr. Bassett holds that the flowers -must bring 2.5 per cent, more than others in order to be profitable. Red Bradt produces as freely as the type, with same size, stem and habit. It is undoubtedly the largest red car- nation we have, and must bring the same price as Bradt to be profltable. In the bench devoted to this sort there were very few reversions to the type, and even if more numerous there would be no waste, as the type is of equal value. They still value Mary Wood highly as a white. It is not quite so proflt- able as White Cloud and Flora Hill, but possesses good qualities that make it very desirable. They have a white seedling the flowers of which are enor- iiKiii in size. The form is not the ■ IN I. 'St when closely examined, but the general effect is good and the size is such as to at once attract attention, and it produces well ana steadily. Gold Nugget is their best yellow, but Mr. Bassett says it should bring double the price of others in order to be profltable. Pingree has been dropped. Mr. Bassett says the flowers should bring 25 cents each to make the variety a paying one. Leslie Paul, the pink California va- riety, has made a favorable impres- sion here and it is thought will be useful. It does not bloom freely early in the season, but comes later and is a magnificent flower. Painted Lady has been an enormous producer here, but in midwinter the blooms burst badly. From Jan. 1 till along in April hardly one perfect flow- er is secured, though some are as large as paeonies. Nevertheless the variety has paid well. Frances Joost produces very freely here, but not so freely as White Cloud or Hill. It is considered a good prof- itable pink sort, though there has been some complaint that the flowers slum- ber early. They like the color of Cerise Queen, but have not been successful in get- ting a good stem. Triumph has done splendidly this season. When producing during fall and December it was the freest of any they had. It is off crop now, but they expect a big cut again in early spring. It is of no value in summer. Armazindy is no good with them. It doesn't produce and buyers don't seem to want the flowers when they get them. Psyche produces lots of flowers, but they are small and nobody wants them. By the way, we recall a grow- er who labeled this variety "Physic" and said, "I am going to 'throw Physic to the dogs.' " Scott, Daybreak and McBurney will also be dropped from the list here. Mr. Bassett believes in early propa- gation of carnations and starts propa- gating the latter part of November, keeping it up steadily thereafter. When rooted the cuttings are planted out about three inches apart in bench- es of soil where they grow on into very fair sized plants by planting out time. More than half of these will have been pinched back once while in the bench. He plants out in the fleld as early as possible and likes to bench inside again early in July if possible and not later than August. The idea is to get the full value of two months' good spring growing weather outside and to have inside (where they will be under better control) during the mid- summer months. The fleld culture in spring gives a vigor and substance that cannot be had under glass at the same period, and the glass is valuable for other purposes, too. By planting in as early as July he believes he gets the advantages of both the outdoor and Indoor systems and has the plants even better established by fall. 162 The Weekly Florists^ Review. JANUARY 11, 1900. In passing through the houses we noted an immense number of carna- tion cuttings in extra fine condition, and benches of cuttings already in soil were the picture of health and vigor. "You must have the best possible foun- dation to build on" says Mr. Bassett, and we heartily agree with him. He does not consider the carnation ajiy more profitable than the rose and the bulk of the glass is still devoted to the Queen of Flowers. House after house of Beauties, Brides, Maids, Me- teors, etc., are a feast for appreciative eyes. Harrisii and longiflorum lilies were not so good as usual. One big batch they bought for Harrisii was largely mixed with longiflorum and results were very uneven, and there was more disease than they have had heretofore. A later batch of Harrisii that was all true to name is much better. A house of Asparagus plumosus was looking finely and has paid well. A bench of Sprengeri is built in divisions with openings for the sprays to droop in, but the boxes are lengthwise of the bench instead of across. There are three boxes each 15 inches wide and with a space of 9 inches between on a 6-foot bench. als in the city were of material assist- ance to the market in this respect of late. Prices have been somewhat easier, but there are indications of a slight stiffening. The supply will no doubt shorten still further if the dark, rainy weather of Tuesday continues. On that day local trade was fair un- til the rain came, but after that the local trade seemed to have crawled into a hole and pulled the hole in after itself. Archie Spencer, manager for Peter Reinberg, is showing some extra grade stock with pardonable pride. The Me- teors are of the very highest grade and the Brides and Maids would be hard to match. His Beauties are also showing marked improvement, though the cut is still short. E. C. Amling is gradually getting settled in his new place and is pro- viding ample ice-box room for some of those extra specials that bring fancy prices. Kennicott Bros. Co. have a letter from Ernst Asmus expressing satis- faction with the returns from their sales of his valley and saying that they average better than the returns he has had in the New York market. Mr. Pieser says there has been a good "jJ^ Tile Bottomed Bench at Bassett & Washburn's. The tile bench shown In the accom- panying engraving is now used throughout the entire establishment and Mr. Bassett would not think of using any other style. Absolutely per- fect drainage is assured, the benches are very lasting, and they cost less than 50 per cent, more than board bottom benches. He finds them not only better but considerably cheaper in the long run. Benches that have been up four years are apparently just exactly as good as the day they were erected. CHICAGO. The Market. Trade continues very satisfactory for the season of the year. There seems less demand than last week in gen- eral, hut the supply is not excessive and there is little surplus except in white at times. Several large funer- demand for really first class valley, though second grade stuff has suffered at times. It indicates the importance of grading and sorting, for Mr. As- mus doesn't have all first class spikes any more than any one else, though his average may be higher. The writer took note during a visit to Mr. Asmus' place that a number of em- ployes were busy sorting valley, re- moving imperfect bells, etc., and some of it was several degrees away from gilt edged. But he was wise enough not to let any of it go out as his best. Carnation Meeting. At the last meeting of the Florists' Club it was decided to hold the an- nual carnation meeting and exhibi- tion on Friday, .Tanuary 19. The large room No. 204 Masonic Temple has been secured for this special occasion and it has been arranged to have the display in position ready for examina- tion during the afternoon as well as in the evening, so it may be seen by the suburban growers' who find it dif- ficult to be present at night. The judg- ing will be done by 1 p. m., and the exhibition will then be open for in- spection. Efforts will be made to have every one of the newer carnations on exhibi- tion as well as finely grown blooms of the older sorts. The carnation is right in President Hartshorne's line and he is working with much enthusiasm to make this carnation display an eye- opener. A meeting for discussion of the new varieties and of carnation culture will be held in the evening. Flowers for display at the exhibi- tion should be addressed to McKel- lar & Winterson. 47 Wabash ave., Chi- cago (marked "for exhibition") and should reach the city the morning of Jan. 19. The exhibits will be judged by a committee, consisting of W. N. Riuld, E. Buettner and A. McAdams. In addition to arranging for the above, two new members were elected. Two seedling carnations from the Chi- cago Carnation Co. were on exhibi- tion. No. 16. a fine pink, scored 86 points by the American Carnation Society scale. No. 48, a good white, scored 76 points. They are both very promising varieties. A committee was appointed to re- vise the by-laws and to submit same to the next meeting for action. Hort. Society Meeting. At the annual meeting of the Hor- ticultural Society of Chicago, held at the Sherman House last Tuesday after- noon. President W. H. Chadwick and Vice-Presidents E. G. Tihlein, H. G. Selfridge and E. 'Wienhot ber were re- elected. Secretary W. C. t^gan begged so hard to be allowed to retire that he was reluctantly permitted to do so, and Mr. W. N. Rudd was elected both secretary and treasurer. Mr. Egan was retained in the executive committee by election, and P. J. Haus- wirth and Edgar Sanders were re- elected members of the committee. Frank Lowden and John J. Mitchell were added to the board of directors, Messrs. 'Walsh and Schneider retir- ing. The report of Treasurer Rudd showed that the expenses of the last exhibition amounted to $8,722.65; that the total receipts fell short of it by $1,043.84, leaving this amount to be covered by dues of members, etc. Nevertheless, the society still has total cash resources of $818.46, and was not obliged to call upon the guarantee fund in connection with the last show. The total box office receipts were $4,637. Premiums donated footed up to $2,491.26. and there was income from other sources. Mr. Edgar Sanders reported the re- sult of the efforts of the Florists' Club to insure a greater number of exhib- itors at subsequent exhibitions, and the names of those who had pledged themselves to exliil>it at the next show were received with much satisfaction. A resolution authorizing the exe- JANUARY 11. l;ii.Hi. The Weekly Florists' Review. 163 cutive committee to hold the next ex- hibition was ailoptrd. An amendment to increase tlio elec- tive members of the executive commit- tee from six to eight, and malcing five a quorum, was presented and will be acted upon at the next meeting. By resolution the secretary was allowed the sum of $1.50 per annum for clerk hire. Various Items. We hear a report that F.

Mr. and Mrs. Walter Kreitling will celebrate the fifteenth anniversary of their marriage on Saturday, January 20th, and have issued cards for a party at Kindergarten Hall, 10-12 Van Bu- ren street, in the evening. Walter will conduct the kindergarten in his own inimitable style and every one must have his lesson. Mr. O. P. Bassett is now settled in his handsome new residence in Hins- dale.

A well attended and enthusiastic meeting of the New York Florists' Club was held on Monday evening, Jan. S. Ex-President Plumb, in tak- ing the chair, spoke very feelingly of the kindness and encouragement he had received from the members dur- ing his two years' term of office, and he assured them that he would con- tinue to work with a view of making this the strongest club in the trade. He then in a few happy words intro- duced the new president of the club, Mr. P. O'Mara; the vice-president, Mr. Arthur Herrington; Treasurer Charles B. Weathered, and Secretary John Young, each of whom responded in ways to excite more interest in and fidelity to the requisites of lloii- cullure. Mr. O'Mara then gave an outline of what the policy and workings of the club would be for the eventful year before them. The most important of the committees required to perfect ar- rangements for the convention of the Society of American Florists and Or- namental Horticulturists had been ap- I)ointe(l at a meeting of officers held that afternoon, and he hoped every- one would assist in making this one of the greatest conventions ever held in the interests of the trade. The club had decided to hold a hor- ticultural show, and 10,000 square feet in the center of the main hall would be offered to private gardeners; there would be 40,000 square feet surround- ing this for the trade exhibits. The convention and exhibition will both be held in the Grand Central Palace, and additional space is obtainable if required. The following were appoint- ed to attend to the workings of the club: House and Entertainment Com- mittee— Messrs. F. h. Atkins, John P. Cleary and Wm. Marshall; Committee on Awards— W. I. Brower, A. L. Miller, C. H. Allen, John E. Lager and H. Dailledouze. The committees appoint- ed to arrange for the S. A. F. con- vention will meet in the club rooms on Monday evening, Jan. 22. for the purpose of organizing and getting the machinery in working order. Mr. Weathered, on behalf of the an- nual dinner committee, reported that the club's annual dinner would be held at the St. Denis, Eleventh street and Broadway, at 7 p. m., Jan. 17th; tick- ets, $5.00. He urged those present and others desiring to attend to purchase their tickets as soon as possible. A full muster was expected, because the event was not only their annual din- ner, but also to be a reception to the executive committee of the S. A. F., which body would meet in this city on the IGth. Flowers in abundance and of the very finest were wanted to dec- orate the "tables on that occasion, and they should be sent to W. F. Sheridan, 39 West Twenty-eighth street, by noon of the 17th. Consignments should be made to the club, care of above, and the flowers named for identification. Several new members were nomi- nated and elected. Invitations were received and accepted to attend the annual dinner and smoker of the Dutchess County Horticultural So- ciety, and the Morris County Garden- ers' and Florists' Club. Treasurer Weathered read his annual financial report, showing the club to be in sound monetary condition; there are 169 members on the books at present. There were two varieties of new carnations on exhibition at the meet- ing. One. a light pink, after the color of Melba, called Genevieve Lord, was from H. Weber & Sons, Oakland, Md. It was awarded the club's certifi- cate of merit. The other was also a light pink, named Roslyn. a three- year-old seedling which promises well; "this was shown by Chris Besold, Mine- cil.i. 1.. 1.; it was awarded honorable Miention. There was quite a lengthy discussion on the system of awards, and the whole matter was referred to the new committee, with the request that they revise or amend the present rules if they find them faulty. Other matters of interest were talked over, and be- fore the meeting adjourned all con- sidered they had a certain amount of the club's work to do and were will- ing to tackle it. There's nothing like expecting vis- itors, and the press is like the win- dow in Thrums.' Bowling. The bowlers were busy in the after- noon. It was one of the best times they ever had up there. Last week John H. Taylor's bowling with a crutch was the novelty; this time it was the east and west; movements of Julius Lang and the low scores of many experts. The crowd was in two teams and excitement ran very high till the last. Following are the scores: ROSES. F. L. Atkins 144 154 149 L. Hafner 187 137 126 A. S. Burns 15S 124 137 A.

It was the installation of officers and their annual dinner. Both affairs took place in the society's pretty rooms, 210 Main street. Orange. Mal- colm McRorie acted as master of cere- monies at the installation, and the introductions and responses were suf- ficient to inspire the utmost enthusi- asm. With Peter Duff as president; Joseph B. Davis, vice-president; George Smith, secretary, and Malcolm McRorie, treasurer, it is safe to say the society will be heard from to the benefit of horticulture. The secretary reported 116 members in good standing, and the treasurer that several hundred dollars were in the liauk. The several working com- mittees were appointed and the meet- ing adjourned to partake of the din- ner. The table was prettily decorated with flowers donated by Messrs. Smith, Von Qualen, Rose, and May. The latter contributed a vase of his new carnation, Olympia, w^hich was very much admired.

But- terfield, who is becoming quite a singer, sang "She Wore a Wreath of Roses." It was altogether a most enjoyable affair, a reunion of old-timers; here and there were groups of men who had endured many hardships and enjoyed the sunrays of prosperity together in this and other countries; some who had wandered from other professions to, in many cases, the Hy-Brasilic one of floriculture, and the old and the young student who are forever learn- ing from each other. Yes, it was a party where one could hear and learn much, whether from jovial John Hayes or Joseph Cypripedium Manda, Dan McRorie, or the doctors and pro- fessors that abounded there; they were all worth catching. The newspaper men had to leave on the last train, and consequently lost much of the fun, but they carried with them a pleasant memory. There was a full muster of the press there: S. Butterfleld, of the Florists' Exchange; W. J. Stewart, American Florist; J. I. Donlan, Florists' Review; and J. W. Withers, American Gardening.

Business ttie past week has been very quiet and the prices on stock con- siderably lower. Receipts of flowers of all kinds have been heavy. The weather has been fine and warm, and should it keep up, all kinds of flowers will be a glut and prices low. The commission men are complain- ing of having too much stuff left over and that even the usual shipping trade was lost sight of the past week. The roses that are coming in now are much better than those for the holi- days, and no doubt will be from now on. First choice Meteors, Brides, and Maids are sold at $5 and $S; seconds, $3 and ?4. Beauties are coming better and quite a good shipment of them came in, and some of them went to waste; the choice ones sold well and at fair prices. Carnations are very plentiful and are selling slowly and at very low prices. Good long fancy Jubilee, Scott, Daybreak, and Flora Hill bring $3; others sell all the way from $1 to ?2 and $8 in 1,000 lots. Violets have been picked very closely the past week and consequently the supply was a lit- tle short; still, enough came in to supply the demand; ?1 per 100 for Cal- ifornias; small singles are down to 25 cents. A few Harrisii are in and bring |15. Callas, $10, and plenty of them. Smilax and asparagus are plentiful, but the demand light. Notes. Richard Frow, the Natural Bridge Road florist, met with a very serious accident a few weeks ago. He was thrown from a street car. Dick, as he is called by his friends, is getting along nicely, but it will take a week or two before he will be out. Visitors in town the past week were: Mrs. W. J. Vesey, Fort Wayne, Ind., and Arnold Ringier, of Chicago, who passed through here on a flying trip to Little Rock, Ark. Mr. E. W. Guy, of Belleville, also spent a day with us. Frank Buckshadt. formerly in busi- ness here, is now with Ellison & Tes- son at their West End store. Joe North, at 915 Olive street, re- ports plenty of funeral work, but other orders are slow. Holiday trade good; better than ever before. Charlie Kuehn, who a few weeks ago had the misfortune to drop one of the largest bowling balls on his foot, has recovered and will be able to bowl again on Monday night. He says he will leave his crutches at home. Chas. Schoenle, on Washington ave- nue, had several large decorations the past week and a few more in sight for this month. Orders for other kind of work slow. Holiday business was the best in years. Mrs. Pepper, on Easton avenue, and Grimm & Gorly. on Cass avenue, also report good business for the holidays, but since that time the trade has been rather slow. • 99 Chrysanthemiiiii "Little Chris Kloomed hHIi us cotitlniiuusly Irniti Marih iiiiin January.

Trade surely never was so quiet at this time of year, consequent- ly all our predictions for a good win- ter are flat so far. There is no such thing as a market price for anything this morning (Jan. 8), and hardly has been for a week. The difficulty is not so much an oversupply as an under- demand. The snow storm of my last chap- ter proved a dainty affair of six or eight inches, which has largely been removed by sunny weather since. Minor changes in the retail estab- lishments of the city are in vogue. Mr. Phon, on Boylston street, closing his doors; the Calder Floral Co. moving a few numbers on the same street; and Mrs. Rogers giving up her old stand under the Adams House. on Washington street, and looking for a new location elsewhere. Better keep your eye on A. Roper's new carnation, built on improved Day- break lines. B. T. IF YOU HAVE any surplus stock offer it in the Classified Plant Advs. in The Review.

Christmas trade was very good, bet- ter than in past years. All the stores sold out clean of holly and green. There were good sales of blooming plants, palms and ferns. Prices were a little higher than last year. Vio- lets and carnations were short in sup- ply, and there was au over-abundance of Romans and paper whites. At the last meeting of the Kentucky Society of Florists the installation of officers toolt place. Mr. Jacob Schulz read a paper on hybridizing carnations. He was very successful last year and raised some 800 plants from the seed he hybridized. Some of them are blooming now and it is believed will prove very satisfactory. Mr. Kunzman's carnations are look- ing well. He has cut as many as 40 flowers from one plant. Mr. Wm. Mann's carnations and other stock look fine. Messrs. Wood & Stubbs, our seeds- men, are sending out their new cata- logue, and it is a beauty. Trade is very quiet after the holi- days, and weather very cold since Christmas. KY. GALESBURG, ILL. — Christmas trade was very good, a little better than last year. There was nearly enough home grown flowers to meet the demand. KANSAS CITY, MO.— Mr. W. W.

FLORISTS' PUBLISHING CO.. Caxton Building, CHICAGO 172 The Weekly Florists' Review* JAXUARY 11. 1900. COLUMBUS, O. The year 1900 opened disastrously for Mr. E. T. Affleck, whose place was almost totally destroyed by fire. Three greenhouses are a total wreck, while the contents ot the fourth were lost through the disabling o£ the heat- ing apparatus. The fire also destroyed a well filled barn. The loss is estimated at $6,000 to ?7,O00, with insurance of only $500 On the barn and none on greenhouses and contents. Mr. Affleck intends to rebuild as soon as possible. The fire originated near the boiler in some unknown manner and had got a good start before it was discovered by the night fireman. PITTSBURG.

Cut flower trade keeps up pretty well since Christmas, though prices are down some, especially on carna- tions. They don't sell out as clean as they should, $10 to $20 per 1,000 for standards, up to $4 per 100 for fan- cies, are the prices. But the carna- tion seems to have lost beauty since Christmas; whether it is that they were forced some, or because we can- not get Christmas prices for them now. Roses are not overplentiful, especi- ally good Beauties. Harrisii are com- ing more freely, but the disease has shown itself more and more the last six weeks. Burki is sending in lots of free- sias and some fine Meteors, Romans and paper whites are still not wanted. An Elabo-ate Decoration. The heads of the Carnegie Steel Co. had a dinner at the Schenley Hotel, Saturday, for which Messrs. Randolph & McClements put up a very swell decoration. Peach trees in bloom screened the musicians, orange and pear trees in fruit, a bed of 2,000 red tulips, a bed of 500 Harrisii, with a large palm in the center, were some of the features of the decoration. Ev- erything appeared natural and repre- sented a Japanese garden illuminated with Japanese lanterns: no other lights were used. Forty cases of southern smilax were used. The Pitts- burg Cut Flower Co. supplied the decorators with the material. Randolph & McClements certainly seem to have the facilities for handl- ing swell decorations — the stock, the iXpcii'iirv, :iui\ \h<- nun. \'-i~ lUK iheir store, which they rebuilt last summer, you can see their vans and rubber tired wagons lined up to re- ceive their loads, everything in the best of style. We have had quite a cold spell lately, and with the trust making the price of coal, the nile seems to dis- appear twice as ffust as usual. Have heard that one of our florists had to get water into his boiler with the watering can, one day lately, on ac- count of city water works being part- ly shut down. When will the florist learn to forestall such vexations. BAER. SAN FRANCISCO. The Market. Trade on New Years day might be compared with a good Saturday's bus- iness. However, everybody was so well satisfied with their Christmas sales that no complaint could be heard anywhere. Potted plants were in bet- ter demand than on Christmas day, quite a lot of lily of the valley and Roman hyacinths in pots being sold. Roses and carnations are coming in to the market in better shape and are expected to improve right along as season advances. Violets are also im- proving in quality and quantity and sell at the old prices of $1 per doz. for Princess of Wales and 75 cents for California; Swanley white and Marie Louise, 75 cents and $1 per dozen bunches. Lily of the Valley is be- coming more plentiful and is nicely grown. Roman hyacinths are of good quality and bring 20 and 25 cents per dozen. White chrysanthemums are still being brought in by the China- men and a supply of them can be seen at most all the stores. Notes. The window display at Pelicano's on Kearney street, was extra fine on New Year's day. One window given over to Siever's carnations in variety and banked with poinsettias made a fine show of the divine flower. The other window had a bank of roses; among them were some extra fine Bridesmaids and Carnots, edged with Lily of the Valley. Altogether, both windows were catchy and extremely pretty in appearance. Some nice Primula Forbesi in 4-inch pots is on sale at a few stores, but goes slowly. Buyers admire its dainty little flowers, but stop when 50 or 75 cents is asked for a plant in a 4-inch pot. In a cut state it fares in the same way. The ladies expect to get as much of it for 10 or 15 cents as they would violets. It will never do for this market. What a pity! J. N. PEORIA, ILL.— Charles Loveridge did a big Christmas business and had a fine cut of good stock from his own houses in North Peoria. He has a city store at 321 Main st. J 80 1 'he Weekly Florists' Review. JANUARY 11. 1900. BUFFALO. Directly after Xew Year's business came down with that horrible soft thud that has left us flabliy and mushy. It is quite down to the uormal. and in fact almost the abnormal on the wrong side, so it is no use going into any description of business. The sup- ply is on the increase and prices are reasonable. We expect very soon that there will be a flood of violets. Since New Year's day the market has been what anyone but an Esquimau would call ideal weather, charming for the plants under glass, to the poor man minus an overcoat, or the coal bin. Even Mr. Zimmerman's turkey seems to enjoy it. for his eycas tail is taking on a more amorous color. Mr. Zimmerman's place has been so well advertised of late, both in the trade and daily journals, that the pub- lic fully expect Mr. Zimmerman to mount his turkey and parade the streets on Washington's birthday. The motive power that inspires this won- derful advertising will be fully capa- ble of imparting locomotion to this extraordinary ornithological mon- strosity. Mr. Joseph Rebstock was the only one who had to resort to an annex during the holidays and possibly Jo- seph would not have bothered about it but there happened to be a vacant store within twenty feet of his own. Mr. S. A. Anderson has put in a very fine floral refrigerator; you can- not any longer call these elaborate and beautiful receptacles for flowers "ice boxes." Savie tells me that this cost- ly adornment to his store is not so much the result of profits of his busi- ness as his saviugs by stopping home nights during the nine or ten months of his married life. Palmer's store is particularly, bright these days. Few stores in the country have a brighter or more attract- ive appearance. There is something clean, bright, novel and catchy every succeeding day. It is not the mass or wealth of flowers that produces this effect, but the genius of "the way in which it's done." Schwert & Bernart of Checkta- waga. are sending in some very fine primulas these days and there is a lot at Cold Springs also of more than oi'dinary merit. They are an inexpen- sive plant, but they suit the public well, and large quantities are sold. Plants will soon begin to be asked for by a largo number of people, not for presents, but for the sake of having them, in their homes, Buffalo has taken a sad drop in sports and it looks at this writing as though we would not even have a team of bowlers in New York, which will be the greatest tournament in the his- tory of the society. They are a poor lot of sports here and little of the fraternal feeling. The defeat at De- troit last summer broke their heart; but that is not all — it drove one into politics, a much worse game to com- bine with business. Another elon- gated youth' gets disgusted with the play of his team. An older man is afraid he is only good for a friendly game on the alleys he knows, and suf- fers with stage fright at John West- cott's peculiar rooting tactics. An- other bald head finds the weight of the pen more congenial to his declin- ing muscle. And a large numljer t)f young men who could hold up the credit of our club are either so keenly following the scent of the dollar or the admiration of their young wives that not any hour can be spared for a game of bowls. Chicago is bowling mad. not the florists particularly, but all classes; thirty or forty leagues, three or four hundred alleys and ten thousand bowlers. For once Buffalo was ahead of Chicago, for we had the epidemic four years ago. Every cor- ner had a bowling alley, but never in such fast numbers as Chicago, be- cause, as the man said who stuttered worse in New York that he did in Washington, it's a la-la-lar-larger place. W.

S. p. asks: By what mctluHi can tlu'se plants be grown into gonil shape- ly plants tor Christmas trado?" If you have any plants left over that lost their fruit or iliil not sell, keep them cool till middle of March, then shorten back the shoots and start growing in a warm house and give them iilenty of syringing, 'riiey will make a growth and (lower. \'nii can withhold syringing while in liloom. After the fruit is set they can be plunged out of doors, but look out for prolonged rains. A safer place would be a light house where they could be shaded from the hottest suns and be given the fullest ventilation. These are now imported at very low cost from Belgium, but there is a great likelihood of the fruit drop- ping. They seem to have also lost their hold on public favor and are one of the things that did not go at Christmas like the famous "hot cakes." W. S. "CHRISTMAS TREE ASTER." This is the name given to a novelty in asters offered by F. C. Heinemann, Erfurt. Germany, in hi.s latest trade of- fer of novelties. The name is given "on account of the branching habit, much resembling the regular arrange- ment of the twigs on a fir tree." And a half tone engraving from a photo- graph of a pot plant bears out the description. How much more confidence a half tone from a photograph gives one than the average catalogue drawing or wood cut I And we will say for Mr. Heinemann that the colored plate which ia mailed with his list is a fair reproduction of the photograph so far as habit and freedom of bloom is con- cerned. But the point we wish to now make particularly is that novelties should be illustrated by half tone engravings from photographs, and not from draw- ings that may or may not improve (?) on nature. We have been told that vei-y often this is impossible because the grower has not yet any specimen in condition to do the novelty justice, and to do it justice an artist must be employed to show "what it will be like when fully developed." There is only one answer to this, and it is that there is no excuse for the dissemina- tion of a novelty of which the origi- nator has not yet secured a perfect specimen. We can afford to wait: and it will be better for the reputation of the originator if he would do likewise. We do not care to share his dreams until they are fully realized. But we must be cautious in accept- ing all half tone engravings as being made from photographs of the objects. We have noted during the last year or so a number of illustrations of plant novelties that were in half tone but which were made from wash drawings instead of from photographs, and in some of these the "artist" had allowed his imagination to riot as exuberantly as in the old line drawing or wood cut. There is a marked difference thovigh between a plate from a idiotograph and that from a wash drawing when they are closely examined. A sharp scrutiny will quickly show that in the wash drawing there is a regularity of form in the fiowers. a positivencss about the strong lines in the foliage and a general stiffness that is not to be seen in the plate from a photo- graph. The hand of man is not cun- ning enough to accurately depict all the little natural peculiarities of foli- age especially, and herein lies the safeguard against being misled by a wash drawing, though at first glance one might think a photograph had been used. • THE WINTER BERRY. Referring to the Black Alder, or Winter Berry, I notice the following item in your Florists' Review: We understand, thoug:h, that the ber- ries are of little value after severe win- ter weather sets in and that the largt- supply in the market this year is due To the remarkably mild winter U}) to this time. Could not this difficulty be over- come by cutting: the branches after the first frost and storing away in a cool but frost-proof cellar or root house? We would be pleased to know whether this has been tried. Yes. Gather the berries by break- ing olt; branches as soon as the leaves fall, and put stems in water in a cool, damp place. They keep a long time. W. F. HEATH. Jaffrey, N. H., Jan. 2, 1900. PRICES OF GLASS. A subscriber writes: "Give us a lit- tle light on the prices of glass in your paper. Am sure I am not the only one who would be interested." We can readily understand that "light" would be desirable, but the situation is one that is difficult to de- scribe in a way that will stand good by the time it is put into type. Dealers will not make definite quo- tations because they are at the mercy of the combination and the price to the dealer may change before he can be sure of the glass witli which to fill orders. And dealers report very little glass of the greenhouse sizes in the market. The recent big cut in the price of glass was evidently made for the sole purpose of forcing into the combine the manufacturers that were still out- side. It was purely a "war measure," and was not intended to increase sales. The nearest approach to a quota- tion that we could secure last Monday was: 16x24 AA, $4.56 per box: same size A, $4.20; same size B, $3.92. These figures were not definite, but ■were given as "about the present market." Dealers say they have been unable to accept recent large orders offered them because they were un- able to place them with the manufac- turers on a satisfactory basis. They attribute present conditions to the la- bor situation as regards glass work- ers, but we think this statement can be taken with a rather large grain of salt. What the outcome will be none can foresee. Dealers seem to generally be- lieve that prices will soon advance. It will evidently depend upon how stubborn the independent manufac- turers prove to be. Even lower jjiices may result before the war is over, hut they are more likely to be higher than lower unless the combine should meet its Waterloo. WASHINGTON. There has been no business in the florists' line since the holidays. This, and a glut on the market, caused prices to drop out of sight the latter part of the week. Carnations were offered as low as $10 per 1,000. The finest grade roses brought $S; sec- onds and poor quality could not be sold at all. Romans and narcissus more slowly at 1 and 1% cents each. Violets, 50 to 75 cents per 100. Good plants of any kind sell quite well. P'rom the announcements of many large state dinners and teas, the pros- pect for a good season is bright. Visitors this week were: Mr. Esch- ner, of M. Rice & Co,, Philadelphia, and Mr. Dreyer, of A. Herrmann, New- York. F. H. KRAMER. WORCESTER, MASS. The program of meetings for dis- cussion during the winter season of the Worcester County Hort. Society has been issued. The meetings will be held each Thursday from Jan. 4 to March 15, inclusive. The list of sub- jects includes the following: "The Progress of Horticulture," "Why Peo- ple Grow Flowers," "Arbor Day," "Budding and Grafting," "Home Grounds," "Relation of Good Roads to Horticulture," "Horticulture and Edu- cation." Copies of the program may be ob- tained by addressing A. A. Hixon, Sec'y, this city. MALTA, O. W. C. Scovell reports a steadily in- creasing business since he commenced eight years ago. The past season trade has increased about 12 per cent, notwithstanding that most of his stock was sold at half price on account of his having to move the first of last April. He has built a very convenient house and uses gas for fuel. The gas costs him nothing, as he has a gas well on his lan3. IF YOU don't find what you want in our classified advs. let us know about it.

He tried it first for curl leaf in violets, with very satisfactory effect. Then he used it in general plant houses, and is very sorry he did. Carnations were hadly injured, so were geraniums, asparagus, ageratunis, orchids and roses. Curi- ously enough, adiantum ferns were not affected; neither were heliotrope and several other supposedly tender plants, and. as evidence that the gas was not used too strong, he states that he found live sow bugs and red spider in the house the next day. Evidently there is still much to learn about this gas as an insecticide, and it should be experimented with most cau- tiously. The fact that it is so deadly to human as well as insect life has de- terred us from recommending its use to our readers. And now that we re- ceive the above report, we are more than ever inclined to urge florists to let it alone. The gas is death to any- one who inhales it for only a moment, and ever since it has been recom- mended as an insecticide we have lived in fear of receiving a report that some experimenter had put himself in a po- sition to receive an obituary notice.

Springlike weather, frost, tlien rain, ha.s been the order tlie past week, 'riiiir.silay it was To in the shade, the ventilators weie thrown wide open and plants stenied to enjoy it; ne.\t morn- ins the ground was frozen a little and the thermometer down to liil. \'on Sions and rcses are loniing in more freely and carnations are not at all scarce. It seems queer that we cannot get more than 3. seldom 4 cents lor fancy carnations, such a.-; White Cloud. Flora Hill, Ameiica. Vic'.or, Joost and Bradt outside of holidays. Here in Pittsburg the retailers want something better than the Gieeks han- dle, but do not want to put up the price, so the grower still finds Scott the best paying one for pink and Mrs. Fisher in white. If it was not for the pleasure the grower finds in fine large blooms he would not feel like spending money every year for new varietie.-^. One of our florists is advertising, in the street cars, $1.50 boxes of cut flow- ers for $1.00. Visitors in town: Ringier from Chi- cago, Gasser from Cleveland. BAER. CINCINNATI. Trade has been unusually brisk the past week, owing to several large so- cial events and the funeral of the late Hon. Senator Goebel. The monthly show of February 10. with roses as a special feature, was not largely represented, owing to the scar- city of roses. Mr. E. Asmus. of Hobo- keii, N. .J., sent a vase of the cele- brated "l>iberty" and everybody was delighted with it. The flower, shape and color are what have been repre- sented and, judging from present indi- cations, this rose will have a grand future. George & Allen made the l)est dis- play in loses; their Maids and Brides were excellent; they also carried first on Meteor, Beauties, tulips and daffo- dils. Corbett & Wilson, of College Hill, were the only exhibitors in vio- lets, Prince.ss of Wales and Marie Louise. Stuart &. Haugh, of Anderson. Ind.. showed a vase of carnations, a sport of Armazindy, named Avondale; the blooms were identical with that of the parent; color shell pink and stem strong and stifl'. Quite a delegation of visiting florists were with us at the meeting. J. Schultz, C. K. Kunzman and .1. Coenen, of Louisville; .). Evans and Ch. Nops, of Richmond; Walter Bertermann, In- dianapolis. In the evening the boys were treated to a little sport at the Highland bowl- ing alleys and had a Jolly good time. I am sorry to say that but a few will avail themselves of the opportunity of going to Buffalo. R. Witterstaetter, W, Siinderbruch and W. Murphy are going, and perhaps one or two more. B.

Wood in the chair, and a good many members present. A good deal of business was transacted and two new carnations were shown. Olympia was seen in fine form and was highly praised. Mrs. Thomas Lawson was also exhibited but the flowers were in poor shape and not in condition to b? commented upon. Business has improved a little th? past week, especially the cut flower end of it. but roses and carnations are scarce. Romans are plentiful. We had a touch of bad winter weather again, the thermometer drop- ping as low as 6 above zero. Wood & Stubbs, the seedsmen, re- port a very good trade, far ahead of last year, especially in onion sets. A. Heitz will the coming summer build several houses at his new place, just opposite St. Louis cemetery. His carnations are very fine. Jos. Coenen & Co.'s place is in fine shape. Their carnations, roses and azaleas are extra fine. Jno. Bohrman always gets there in time. Henry Fuchs is the happiest man in town over the arrival of a boy at his home. Wm. Mann reports trade good and lots of funeral work. His carnations are fine, especially Rose Queen and l'"rances .loost. .Mrs. Laura Rudy, wife of T. B.

Editor Review: — I have just been reading Ivera's article on frozen win- dows and thonght possibly my way of keeping the frost off would interest your readers. I use an electric fan, and it keeps the window perfectly clear, even with the mercury 36 degrees below zero. It also keeps the window free form steam or sweat and at a cost of only ?1 per month. I know of only one drawback to this method. It takes too much time to explain to people "why you keep that fan going all the time." "Does that keep the plants from freezing?" "Do they grow better with a circulation of air?" "Do you keep the leaves waving all the time to attract atten- tion?" etc.. about forty times a day. But it's refreshing to come up the streets past whole blocks of windows frozen solid and find your own per- fectly clean and full of brlgnt flowers. W. W. SEEKINS. Duluth, Minn. WE HAVE received a circular from W. Atlee Burpee & Co., the Phila- delphia seedsmen, in which they offer a cash prize of $20 for the best col- lection of vegetables grown from Bur- pee's seeds at each state and county fair held in the United States during the summer or fall of 1900. There are other prizes, and a sweepstakes of flOO to the one winning the greatest amount of prizes for products of Bur- pee's seeds in 1900. It is a remark- able offer and we imagine the amount of prize money will run into large figures. The circular is interesting reading. It will no doubt be mailed to anyone addressing a request to W. Atlee Burpee & Co., Philadelphia, Pa. CHATTANOOGA. TENN.— .John Kar- sten has erected a fine office and work- room in addition to two houses for palms and ferns.

The florists o£ northern Iowa and southern Minnesota held their second annual picnic with Hall Bros., here, January 23-24. The attendance was not as large as was expected, hut it was a very profitahle meeting, and those who were unable to attend missed a grand meeting. The florists all report this season so far a profitahle one, as the mild weath- er has cut down some on expenses and the cut of flowers has been above the average. Floral design work in most places showed a falling off. but the call for flowers had been good and all had been disposed of at the established prices. The address of welcome and a few verses in memory of our last meet were read by W. H. Hall, of the firm of Hall Bros. M. H. Wetherbee, from Charles City, read a very interesting paper on "How to Induce Customers to Buy Flowers for the Sick and Aged." It seemed to be the opinion of all present that flowers for the sick was one of the best purposes they could be used for, and that we were justified in giving an extra flower or two to customers buying them for this purpose. Mr. Wetherbee has rebuilt one house and added two new ones 12x70 the past summer, which, in addition to his for- mer plant, gives him plenty of room for growing cut flowers. E. J. Springer, of New Hampton, gave us a very witty paper on "What Induces Me to Stick to the Florist's Business." No one present escaped a dig from his pen, and each one en- joyed the joke on the other fellow bet- ter than that on himself. W. B. Perry, from Cresco, who, by the way, is the champion cut flower grower in this section, demonstrated by the wonderful specimens which he exhibited, gave us some very interest- ing figures on his yield of cut flowers per plant. We need Mr. Perry here in this section to fall back on when we are short of flowers, so I will not state the number of first quality cut flowers he is able to produce per plant in a season. Walter S. Hall, of the firm of Hall Bros., took for his subject "Plant Nov- elties." He drew quite a discouraging picture and showed the need of some organization to test and inspect new varieties and restrict introducers from exaggerated statements. Mr. A. N. Kinsman, Austin, Minn., told us what he saw at the S. A. F. convention and other places the past summer. Mr. Kinsman is planning to add 7,- )00 feet of glass this summer and his plans for his new houses drew out quite a discussion; nearly everyone agreed to his plan of even span east and west houses. Plans were made to meet next July with W. T. Symonds at Decorah, Iowa, who with his wit and brogue is an en- tertainer at every meeting. H. Mention The FlortBts" Review when writing advertisers. THE NEW PINK CARNATION "Mrs. Bertram Lippincott." (Originated and grown (or the past four vears by John Kiihn, Philadelphia, Pa.) The mere fact that tliis variety is a cross between "Daybreak" and "Scott" is a suti'icient guarantee and should recommend it to every grower tliroughout the land as the only carnation that will be sure to vield good returns. Its pedigree, however, though much in its favor, is by no means its strongest point or recommendation. ** Mrs. Bertram liippincott" is pos- sessed of many gfood points of its own and is being introduce.! upon its own merits. The iiuTitcirious points in its fa\ or are : FORM. The very acme of perfection. Kull, well rounded, and double, with a calyx that never bursts. SIZE. 3 to 3?/. inches in ordinary soil — with chemical fertilizers this size can still be increased. COIfOR. A soft, rich pink, a shade dark- er than Daybreak — a color that "takes'" or sells at sight. STEM. Of the Daybreak type, averag- ing from 2 to 2H feet. HABIT. Exceptionally strong and healthy. Has never been known to be a victim to rust or any other disease. KEEPING QUAIiITIES. No other carnation can surpass it m this respect. ITS STRONGEST POINT. It crops from the time it is hou-^ed until it is thrown out. No "between season." no "letup."' In a word, it is the carnation you want to grow. i STOCK NOW READY. We control the whole stock of this va'uable carnation. Orders will be filled in strict rotation as booked.

FEBRl'ARY 15. 1900. GRAND RAPIDS, MICH. The continued bad weather has made it bad for the shipping trade, as trains have been badly delayed and ship- ments put on board the various trains never reached their destination until ready for the dump. Flowers are scarce. In carnations the only variety in good supply is Scott. Roses all shy. although they are blooming more freely than last week. Violets are now doing finely. The demand for funeral flowers con- tinues steady and uses up a quality of flowers that might otherwise find their way to the dump. Prices remain the same as when last quoted, except some grades of carnations, which have dropped a trifle, noticeably Scott and Daybreak. Geo. Hancock, of Grand Haven, was a recent visitor. The Florists' Club intends holding a carnation meeting, possibly a banquet, at the Eagle Hotel some time in March. George Hancock has expressed a wish to have it held in Grand Haven, but while there is a general desire to agi'ee to meet there, yet so many of the boys would find it diflScult to get to the meeting if held there; so, in deference to the greatest good to the greatest number, the meet- ing will undoubtedly be held here as usual and. a subsequent meeting at Crand Haven.

Scott's Manual, wc wish to say tliat we con- sider it without equal as a book of reference for busy florists. GKO. M. KELLOGG. Pleasant Hill, Mo. Mr. Scott's superb work, "The Florists' Manual," was indeed worth waiting for. When compared witli the amount of practical information it con- tains, the selling price, ?5.00, seems a mere bagatelle. Oakland, Md. H. WEBER & SONS. It is the best book of the kind ever published. There is more in it than in any other book I have ever seen. I am delighted with it. Chicago. JOHN THORPE. The copy of the "Florists' Manual" was duly received. I am very well pleased with same. The more I read it the better satisfied I am with it, and there are one or two articles alone jn it that are each worth all you ask for the book, for everything is made so plain and all details are right to the point. I trust you may have a good and ready sale for the same. M. S. WORDEN. North Adams, Mass. The only fault to be found with it is when you get reading it the mid- night oil is liable to run low and you have to go on to gas or reluctantly break off, either going to bed or first taking a look over the houses to see if the temperature tallies with the Manual. GEO. S. OSBORN. Hartford, Conn. We are in receipt of "The Florists' Manual" by Mr. Scott and may say it is the right book for the florist, pub- lished at the right time. It is what we all need. BOBBINK & ATKINS. Rutherford, N. J. Am much pleased -with the Manual. It is Just what I have been looking for. Something that we can under- stand, and enjoy reading. M. NAUMAN. Etna, Pa. I am very much pleased with the Manual. It is just what we have need- ed for a long time. N. ZWEIFEL. Milwaukee, Wis. It is certainly a neat and handsome book and does you credit. BENJAMIN HAMMOND. Fishkill-on-Hudson, N. Y. It is a work of art and should be in the hands of all live florists. Its use- ful and instructive contents can not fail to be a benefit to all in the trade. C. C. POLLWORTH Co. Milwaukee, Wis. The book is wiittcu for tlio work- ing gardener, and Mr.' Scott's reputa- tion is so well .secured that he will And among his gardening friends a host of genuiiio admirers. As a writer on practical gardening subjects, he is a recognized authority. » * * jyj^,. Scott has long been an employer and knows what information young gar- deners, or those witli little experience, need, and he has his whole subject so perfectly at command that he can give the most desirable and essential information in the clearest language and with satisfactory brevity. The book is a distinct and important gain to the practical garden literature of this country, and it should be in the hands of every gardener, and everyone else engaged or interested in orna- mental horticulture. The price of the book is ?5, which seems somewhat high, but for useful information it is worth every cent of it. — Vick's Maga- zine. Am well pleased with the Manual. It is a practical, everyday helper, con- cise and to the point. W. A. KENNEDY. Milwaukee, Wis. Am very much pleased with the book; it is very handy for reference. Macomb, 111. P. E. BONHAM. Unlike so many of our books, It has the very flavor and essence of ac- tual experience. L. H. BAILEY. Ithaca, N. Y. We find the book very useful as a reference in answering the many ques- tions about plants that we receive al- most every day. Philadelphia. JOS. KIFT & SON. Detroit, Mich., January 6, 1900.— Mr. Wm. Scott, Buffalo, N. Y. Dear Sir: The Commissioners of Parks and Bou- levards some time since directed that a library be started of such book.-i as deal with subjects pertaining to park work, and to that end, an order has been given for a number of books, among which is your "The Florists' Manual." After reading this book carefully, I am greatly pleased, and wish to con- gratulate you on the practical manner with which you have treated the sub- ject. This book is placed where it will be accessible to all of our greenhouse em- ployes, where this board expects to reap a reward .many times the cost of the book. Respectfully yours, COMMISSIONERS OF PARKS AND BOULEVARDS, R. J. CORYELL, Gen'l Sup't. I am more than pleased with The Florists' Manual. OTT BROWN. Cape May City, N. J. Manual to hand. Am well satisfied that it is the best work of its kind ever published. JAS. HARTSHORNE. Joliet, 111. I am greatly pleased with the Man- ual. C. J. REARDON. Lake Geneva, Wis. Enclosed find $5.00 in payment for the copy of the Florists' Manual. No progressive florist, old or young, can afford to be without the Florists' Man- nual. The old florist needs it, for ref- erence, to aid a defective memory, and the young florist wants it as a guide in this progressive era of the florist's business. J. T. TEMPLE. Davenport, la. I A USEFUL GIFT.... As a present to an appreciated employee or to a It friend in the trade nothing could be more appro- priate than a copy of The Florists' Manual By WILLIAM SCOTT. It is very handsomely and substantially bound in half leather, with specially designed title in gold; it is mag- nificently and profusely illustrated, and the contents arc of practical and lasting value. It is a whole library on practical commercial floriculture in one volume. Price, $5.00 Carriage Prepaid. FLORISTS' PUBLISHING CO., caxton Building.

The Weekly Florists' Review, 343 The Buffalo Convention. INSECTS INFESTING CARNATIONS. By Prof. F. A. Sirrine, ok the New V kk .^GRICULTUR-^L E.XPERIMENT ST.ATION. Florists in general are not only fa- miliar with all the insects infesting the carnation, but also with the whole category of remedies; hence it appears lilve a waste of time to devote a few minutes to the above subject. Yet, when one can cull from florists' peri- odicals such statements as "Lack of ventilation favors the development of the red spider," or "it resents light al- most as much as fresh air," also "Give as much fresh air as possible — that is what red spider does not like," a few facts regarding the habits and life his- tory of this and other carnation pests will bear consideration. Before taking up the subject of hab- its and life history, a portion of an- other statement requires notice. It is: "Water is the remedy for thrlp or red spider. Select some bright morning and syringe heavily and later see that the roots of the plants never get dry, tor drought at some time or other, or too much fire heat, is the source whence both pests originate." Note that the latter portion of this state- ment conveys the idea of spontaneous generation. The days of spontaneous generation, if they ever existed among insects, passed away long before Adam was a gardener. We often hear the expression "A new insect" used. A new creation is not intended by such a' statement. This term is used either when a long established insect adapts itself to new conditions, or it has suc- ceeded up to the present time in keep- ing iiul, (if the w;ty i.r a buKoltjgist" with his long label and his still longer name with which he burden.s it. The insects infesting carnations inay be separated for convenience into two groups — first, thtjse which are nearly always to be found on the carnation, and, second, those which occur on the plants only occasionally, and then us- ually by accident. That is to say, we have resident and transient insect pests of the carnation. A subdivision of each of the above groups into "forc- nig-house" and "field" pests could eas- ily be made, but all divisions are em- pirical and of value simply to avoid a discusson of each species alone. At this time only the "forcing - house" pests of the carnation will be consid- ered. In the first group may be classed the greonfiy, red spider, and thrips; while in the second group we have the cut- worms, cabbage looper (an undeter- mined webworm), the roseleaf tyer the chrysanthemum leaf skeletonizer' Fuller's rose beetle, white grub white ants, and a few others. Greenfly. • The "greenfly" (rhopalosiphum dian- thi). As the specific name indicates this aphid was first found and de- scribe as infesting dianthus. At pres- ent it might be called polyphagous, as it is known to teed on nearly one hun- dred different varieties of plants. This pest is so well known that a description is not needed, but a few words on its habits will not be out of place. Under natural conditions this species of aphid, like most other aphids which feed upon deciduous plants de- posits its eggs late in the fall, in which form it passes the winter, but, under forcing-house conditions this liabit is entirely lost. Instead of the young hatching from eggs, they are produced year after year by a process of internal budding, which we call "agamic re- production." That is, certain cells separate from the abdominal walls of the mother and develop the same as plant buds develop. These buds grow into small aphids and are deposited alive by the parent. No fathers axe needed in this process and they are rarely produced. With one exception, as far as known the greenfly never degenerates by be- ing reproduced from buds, like strains of plants degenerate. We have the same kind of propagation in an insect as a florist practices with the variety or strain of a carnation. As most of you are aware, in the case of the greenfly this is not a slow process of reproduction. One mathematician has estimated that the offspring of an in- dividual aphis can in one year amount to 210 raised to the fifteenth power, a number which is almost impossible to express in figures. If there were no checks to this method of reproduction "there would be room in the world for nothing else but aphids," I have said that as far as known there is no loss of vitality on the part of the greenfly by the above method of 344 I'he Weekly Florists^ Review* FEBRUARY 22, 1900. reproduction. At times the older speci- mens, whicli usually live only about three weeks, become inert and repro- duce very slowly. Whether this is due to exhaustion or is a provision to carry them through unfavorable conditions is not known. Possilily it is a form of hibernation. This much is certain: tobacco smoke will not kill the.se indi- viduals and they will stand hydro- cyanic acid gas better than will the plants. Conditions which bring about this inert state are, exhaustion of the plant on which they are feeding, and frequent fumigation of the plants with tobacco smoke. Not all the individuals of each brood develop wings, but under forcing house conditions winged females are pro- duced in nearly every brood. This is necessary to prevent overstocking a plant. It also allows them to spread to all parts of the house more rapidly. Red Spider. Red Spider (Tetranychus telarius). Here we have another pest which needs no description, as it is already well known by all. The red spider dif- fers slightly from the gi-eenfly in its method of reproduction. Bach brood hatches from eggs which are deposited on nearly all kinds of plants during every season of the year except winter, but, as with the greenfly, males are not always needed. The red spider be- longs with the true mites, such as sugar and cheese mites, itch mites, etc. At the same time the mites form one branch of the spider family. The red spider spins webs, the same as all spiders, which are of special use in fastening the eggs to the leaf. Judging from the clipping previous- ly quoted, which claimed that the red spider originated from too much fire heat or drought, the life history of this pest is not all known. Under natural conditions, at this season of the year, they are to be found on plants in the egg stage only. Their eggs can be dis- covered at the present time on many plants, both annual and perennial, liv- ing and dead, looking like mere red dots. The parent spider deposits these eggs in the fall, around the bud.-;, un- der rough bits of bark, and even on the leaves which drop. During the lat- ter part of April I have seen newly hatched young swarming over the grass under chestnut trees and travel- ing up the body of the tree in such countless numbers that the bark ap- peared to be in motion. Ten days to two weeks are required before the first brood is developed enough to commence to lay eggs. After this period tliere is a new brood about once in every three weeks throughout the whole season. They thrive and in- crease rapidly wliile there is plenty of wind and bright sunlight. Excessive rains in May and June do not injure the eggs, but they have" a l>ad effect on the young or newly hatched red spi- ders. They appear to get tangled in the wet webs and are not able to sur- vive the chill which they receive. Dur- ing extreme heat of midsummer the egg laying is sometimes checked, but usually they can stand plenty of heat combined with sunlight and air. Hence you see that naturally this in- sect thrives under conditions which are supposed by some to be adverse to them, especially in forcing-houses. I have yet to see it proven that syringing plants with water has any effect on the adult insect. A few of them may be knocked from the plants by the force of the water, but they soon crawl back. I have observed that the best time to have apparent suc- cess with syringing of plants with water is to wait until a good many eggs are deposited, then apply the water with force. The old exhausted red spiders are knocked from the plants and the result is that the plants will appear clean for a week or ten days — that is, until time for the new brood to hatch from the eggs. The immature red spider can be distinguished from the adult by the fact that they only have three pairs of legs, while the adult has four pairs. It is not known how many distinct broods of the red spider occur out of doors each year. In October, when the leaves commence to fall, males occur in the brood and the winter eggs are deposited. It is not known how often males occur under forcing house con- ditions. Their rate of increase is equal to that of the green fly. Thrips. THRIPS. Several species of this pest occur in greenhouses and attack nearly all kinds of plants. The spe- cies which causes the injury, usually found on "twittered" carnations, has been described as an "Onion Thrips," "Cabbage Thrips." and a "Tobacco Thrips." In the vicinity of New York city carnations are usually infested with this species. Before it was no- ticed injuring onions and cabbage in. this country it was called Thrips to- baci by an European entomologist. As this pest and its work are not well known, a full description will be admissible. Furthermore, from recom- mendations given in the Florists' Ex- change for 1S9S, p. 1124a, quoted from Peter Hendersons "Practical Floricul- ture," this pest has apparently been confused with the so-called "rose- thrips." which is not a thrip at all, but a leaf-hopper, one of the Jassidae. The adult insects are winged and have six legs. Their wings, of which there are two pairs, are very thin, delicate membranes, fringed with long hairs. They are not able to hop, but General View of the Carnation Society's Exhibition at Buffalo last Thursday and Friday. FEBRUARY 22, liniO. The Weekly Florists' Review. 345 A Table of New Varieties at the Carnation Society's Exhibition at Buffalo last Thursday and Friday. they make short flights, which gives them the appearance of hopping lilCe the rose leaf hopper. The larvae or immature thrips, both males and fe- males, are wingless. They are of a light yellow color, while the ailults closely resemble the soil around the plants. The adult females deposit their eggs within the tissues of the plants upon which they feed. The time required for the eggs to hatch and the num- ber of broods occurring each year is not known. This in.sect probably hi- bernates as adults and not in the egg state. They hide away under rub- bish and under the rough bark of the plants on which they feed. They usually attack carnations in the fall while the latter are in the field. Feeding as they do on the ten- der unfolding leaves of the plant, they may, in some cases, cau-^e the twisting that is called "carnation twit- ter." The chances are that "carna- tion twitter" can be produced by any cause which checks the growth of the plants, and is rarely the work of thrips. ' When the plants are transferred from the held to the forcing-house the thrips are taken along. As soon as the plants commence to throw flow- er buds the thrip will work its way into the latter, where he will be safe from all human attacks. Here it feeds upon the partially developed petals, not only distorting them but robbing them of their coloring pig- ment, so that the flowers not only have irregular white blotches en the petals, but often they do not open properly. In some cases the petals bleed to such an extent that flowers rot before they open. ' Not satisfied with making the flowers appear as if affected with leprosy, they depos t their eggs in the tissue of the inner or upper surface of the calyx. Combating the Pests. P.cf(ue taking up the subject of con- trolling the three pests discussed thus far. we should know how they feed and breathe, also how they g^t into the forcing-house. The greenfly is provided with a pro- boscis or beak-like mouth similar to that of the bedluig. With this it punc- tures the plants and sucks the clear sap or liquid from all the surrounding tissue. L'sually the tissues of the plant are only slightly broken liy the feeding process of the greenfly. The red spider and the thrips are both pro- vided with biting mouth parts. They first bite open the cells of the leaf tis- sue and then proceed to lap or suck up not only the juices but also the coloring matter from the broken cells. These broken empty cells give the whitish appearance to the plants on which the latter pests feed. Hence, the small size of these pests, combined with their method of feeding, makes the use of poisons impossible. All insects breathe by means of small openings called spiricals, which are arranged in rows on each side of the body. The spiricals connect with small tubes or arteries which divide and penetrate to all parts of the in- sect. Therefore, insects have air in- stead of blood circulating to all parts of their bodies. The closing of the spiricals with powder, washes, or with fumes of any kind suffocates the insect, and this is the only way we have of combating the above pests. With such small insects this is easier said than done. It is almost impos- sible to make the treatment thorough on such small objects. All three pest.s can be carried into the forcing-house at the time the plants are taken in. The greenfly and thrips both produce winged individu- als which can find their way into the houses by way of the ventilators. Red spider can be carried into the houses on cannas, dahlias, or any other plants or bulbs which have some tops on tliem when stored under the benches. The oft recommended remedy for greenfly and thrips is fumigation with tobacco or steam from tobacco ex- tracts. Water is the standard remedy for red spider, and is often assumed to be good for thrips. I have yet to find the forcing-house which has once become infested with greenfly, and aft- erward fumigated weekly with tobacco in some form until it shows signs of nicotine poisoning, in which I cannot still find the greenfly hidden away in out-of-the-way corners. I doubt if ever an adult thrip was killed by fumi- gation of any sort. Unless the latter are very thick and crowded for feed- ing ground, they are hidden away in the folds of the leaves too well pro- tected to be reached even by tobacco smoke. Up to the present time we have no safer method of controlling the greenfly on carnations than fumi- gation with tobacco smoke at time the plants are flowering. Fuinigation with hydrocyanic acid gas has been recommended for vio- lets and in a few cases for carnations. I have tested the latter in various ways, making upward of fifty distinct tests on carnations. Plants that are flowering will be liable to be injured from the banking of the gas in the upper portions of the house. This gas is so much lighter than air and com- presses itself into the upper spaces of the house to such an extent that, even though only one-half ounce of 98 per cent cyanide of potash was used for eviry " 1.000 cubic feet, it banked enough to cause serious injury. The injury was not noticeable until about two weeks after treatment, and con- sisted of a whitened ring around the buds and a few white spots on the upper leaves. The former did not ap- pear to interfere with the perfect de- velopment of the flowers. In the absve case, where only one-half ounce of the cyanide of potash was used, the gas 346 The Weekly Florists' Review* FKBRUARY 22, 1900. was allowed to act all night. Al- thougli the plants were slightly in- jured, further work by the greenfly was stopped. Three days after treat- ment a few specimens were found still living. These apparently were old fe- males that were through budding and In time died a natural death, as two weeks later not a living specimen could be found in the house. As previously stated, syringing with water is usually recommended for red spider and thrips on carnations. Some- times such substances as salt and water, also soap suds, are recommend- ed. In addition, all patented insecti- Bides, such as "Thrip Juice," "Niko- teen," "Rose Leaf Extract, "Antipest." etc., are warranted to kill both red spider and thrips. Nothing is ever said about the effect on the plants of the latter substance. I think you will all agree with me that heavy syringing of carnations which stand eighteen inches high, with water, is anything but benefi- cial to the plants. It each grower would take the time to test water and some other substances side by side on the same bench of carnations on which the red spider has become estab- lished, he would prove to his satis- faction that such quantities of water injured the plants nearly as much as does the red spider. I CAR see no difference in results be- tween salt and water, and pure water. Both substances act as previously de- scribed, on the young at the time they issue from the egg; at the same time both substances favor the • develop- ment of the rust and spot diseases on the plants. Notice it is not claimed that water, salt, and the proprietary substances are of no use on any plants. Some may answer fairly well on plants other than carnations. I have used "Niko- teen" at the rate of one teaspoonful to a gallon of water, as a wash for thrips on ferns, with excellent results. But "Nikoteen" is vile stuff to put on any plant and should never be used on plants which, like carnations, have the foliage covered with a bloom. Be- sides, no substances can be made to reach the thrips after they have got into the carnation's buds. I have used hydrocyanic acid on this pest, when on ferns, as strong as three ounces to 1,000 cubic feet of space, allowing it to act all night with- out injuring the thrips in the least. (We will say nothing about the con- dition of the plants.) As far as tested, the bcvst results from treatment of red spider have been obtained from the use of a soap solution made by dissolving one ounce of Ivory soap in one gallon of water, or in that proportion. .•Ml individuals struck with this solution were killed, and if the plants were not too heavily drenched, the bloom on the foliage was discolored but little. (Open flow- ers should be gathered before attempt- ing to use the soap solution.) A home-made soap made of clean lard and the best potash lye woiild answer just as well as Ivory soap. Fish oil soaps will kill the red spider, but they have the disadvantage of discoloring the foliage, and in addition give the plants a bad odor. The Ohio Agricultural Experiment Station has shown that good potash soaps are fungicides, preventing "Lsaf Curl" of the peach. (1 Bulletin 103, p. 186; also Bulletin 104, p. 202.) Another measure which is abso- lutely safe to use on the carnation when flowering, and just as destruc- tive to the red spider as water, or salt and water, is the ammoniacal solu- tion of copper carbonate called "Cu- pram." This is a valuable fungicide which does not soil the foliage in the least. By syringing the plants twice a week with this solution, the required amount of moisture to check the de- velopment of the red spider can be fur- nished without supplying a forcing bed for rust and the spot diseases. It is made as follows: To one volume of 2(! degrees ammonia add seven volumes of water. If one quart of ammonia is used, suspend five ounces of copper carbonate in the mixture of water and ammonia; cover, and allow to stand over night. For use, take one quart of the clear solution and add four g.U- lons of water. Where the thrips has once gotten a foothold in the buds of the cainat on, the only method of controlling him is to carefully gather all the buds which shovf^ his work, before they open, and destroy them. No old soiled flowers should be left in the benches. In conclusion, I would recommend the following measures to prevent and control the three worst pests that trouble carnation growers: If pos- sible, select land that has grown corn or potatoes one year after being in sod. Avoid having old hedges and rubbish patches on the margins of the carnation field. (These harbor red spider and greenfly.) Never plant carnations under or around trees. (The latter harbor red spider.) Do not grow cabbage or related plants by the side of the carnation. (These furnish abundant crops of thrips.) At time of transplanting use heroic measures. First dip the plants in a soap solution, being careful not to get the solution on the roots. This so- lution can be made as already recom- mended, from Ivory soap, or from Good's potash soap, Owen's U. S. Standard caustic potash soap, or even from a home-made fish-oil soap. Of the latter, use one gallon of soap to 32 gallons of water. The home-made fish- oil is made as follows: Caustic potash 1 pound Fish oil 3 pints Soft water 2 gallons Dissolve lye in the water; then add oil and stir. Boil from twenty min- utes to one hour. .\s soon as the plants are estab- lished in benches, syringe thoroughly with the Ivory soap solution, giving a second treatment ten days later. 'I'he above treatment should free the plants of all three pests, but a later treatment may be needed for greenfly which have found their way Into the house through the ventilat- ors. If these are discovered while the plants are short and not flowering to any extent, fumigate with hydrocy- anic acid gas, using one-halt ounce of 98 per cent cyanide of potash, one ounce of sulphuric acid, and three ounces of water to every 1,200 cubic feet of space in the house. Allow gas to act all night. A week or ten days later repeat the fumigation. REMEM- BER THAT THIS GAS IS ONE OF THE MOST DEADLY POISONS KNOWN; be sure the workmen realize this fact. After all the above precau- tions have been taken, do not store any plants under the benches. The florist who becomes convinced that he must fight these three pests each fall from the start, will be the one who will have the best success. Transient Pests. The worst of these is the "Varie- gated cutworm" (Peridroma saucla), and the "Cabbage looper" (Plusia brassicae). The former, while small, is a climbing cutworm which feeds at night and hides in the loose soil dvir- ing the day. This is one of the most common of the cutworms. It is found in nearly all countries, and usually oc- curs in forcing-houses more frequent- ly than other cutworms. In color it is a sooty brown, with a yellow stripe mottled with red on each side of its body. The head is reddish yellow. The adult insect, or moth, is very in- distinctly marked. Many writers have assumed that this cutworm is carried into the house in the soil. The fact that they occur in forcing-houses more frequently than any other specie.? of cutworms, combined with the fact that they are often found in considerable numbers in spots throughout a house, indi- cates that the eggs are deposited on the carnations by the parent moth, or "miller," after transplanting. The latter can easily fly into houses on cloudy days and early in the evening during the months of September and October. The young worms climb to the buds, eat holes through the calyx and then devour all the floral parts. The caterpillar of the cabbage plant is a light green worm about one and one-half inches long, when full grown, which can always be recog- nized by its habit of looping the body when traveling. The moth, or miller, has mottled, dark brown head and wings. Two white spots on each fore- wing sometimes resembles the figure 8. The hind wings are slate color, varying to tawny, while the body is covered with gray and tawny red hairs. This pest, like the variegated cut- worm. fee- .■^lances should be useong, the cover having a Ki)ray of carnations and a buffalo em- bossed upon it, while the inside con- tained some French which was ex- plained in English as "an attempt at hybridizing wit and common sense cro.-sed with gastronomy."

AMERICAN ROSE SOCIETY. Editor Florists' Review; Having re- ceived many inquiries from your sub- scribei's as to dues, etc., of tlie Ameri- can Rose Society, brought forth by my appeal to growers of roses, it would confer a favor upon me and, I think, do the cause much good if you would publish the following information: The dues in the society are: For Lfe membership, $50.00, in one payment: for active membership, $.3.00 a year: for associate membership. $1.00 a year. All that is necessary to become a member is to remit dues to Jno. N. May, treasurer. Summit, N. J., or to Leonard Barron, secretary, 136 Liberty street. New York. The latter will b3 only too glad to send a copy of the constitution and by - laws to anyone asking for same. BENJAMIN DORRANCE, President American Rose Society. GREENHOUSE CONSTRUCTION. Few florists nowadays depend upon their local mill for greenhouse mater- ial. The specialist in this line, with his special machinery and experience in handling such work, can always give better satisfaction, and at the same time as reasonable rates. A Chicago concern that has come rapidly to the front in the manufac- turing of greenhouse material is the John C. Moninger Co. During the past season this lirm furni.?hed ma- terial for 47,178 lineal feet of green- houses. On these houses were used 845,447 sq. ft. of lapped glass, and 124,126 sq. ft. of butted glass. They were supplied with 32,986 lineal feet of top ventilation and 14,192 lineal feet of bottom or side ventlation. Of these houses, 40 per cent had bars fitted for 16-inch glass. BENTHEY & CO. F. F.

Many florists put in a large stock of cut flowers and sold out clean. American Beauties are very scarce and very poor in quality; however, the re- tailers are glad to get anything in the name of Beauties. Brunners are also very scarce and short stemmed. Vio- lets are fair in quality and plentiful. Fruit blossoms are in good demand for decorations. Prices. American Beauties, $3 to $5; Brides and Maids, 50 cents to $1.25; Sie- brechts, 50 cents to $1; Meteors, 35 cents to $1.25; Brunners, 12 Va to 15 cents per dozen; carnations, Hobarts $1. Crocker and Schwerins 50 cents, fancy mixed 35 to 50 cents, Scotts 25 cents, Portias 20 cents per dozen; Har- risii, J2.50 to $3.50; freesias. 3 dozen for 50 cents; paper whites, 75 cents per 100; Dutch hyacinths, 50 cents per doz- en; dafTodils, $1.25 per 100; violets. Princess of Wales 50 cents to $1, Cali- fornia 40 to 50 cents per dozen bunches. Notes. The fakir's license has been increas- ed from $10 per quarter to $20, which makes it double, and will no doubt help to thin out the ranks of the above gentry. Our florists ought to be thank- ful to Mr. Shannahan for his efforts in having the petition passed successfully, as the bulk of the work was placed on his shoulders. Golden Gate Park is looking very fine at present. Our early rains have been a great benefit to the park and a walk or drive at any time these morn- ings is a pleasure. A few beds of Dutch hyacinths and daffodils are in full bloom, and in some sheltered nooks groups of hydrangeas are a mass of bloom. George M. Miller will accept a posi- tion in the Golden Gate park. Mr. Miller is now disposing of his nursery stock and will retire from the business after fifty years as a commercial flor- ist. Rheumatism and deafness have troubled him lately. Although Mr. Miller is very deaf, 'tis claimed he can hear as good as anybody when some one says, "Miller, have a" drink." Fruit trees have been in great de- mand this year. Orders coming in from all over the state. Many large orchards of prunes are being planted, and prune stock is getting to be very scarce; also apples; some varieties cannot be had at all. At Fernwood, Dutch hyacinths are in full bloom, and many fine spikes of named varieties are simply grand. The orchids, phalaenopsis. laelias and cat- tleyas are still a show in themselves. r. N.

At the annual meeting of the Amer- ican Carnation Soc-iety in Buffalo there was quite an interesting discussion ' on the keeping qualities of carnations. This is a serious matter and deserves the greatest consideration, not alone from that society, but from eveiy one engaged in the florist's business. It would appear from the reports of the Buffalo meeting that the matter was too deep a problem to be settled even by the experts present. The ar- guments were good, but it seems to us that an exchange of actual experien- ces would do much to dispel the at- mosphere of the theoretical ghosts some of our scientific growers delight in pointing out. The carnation as a cut flower is far from being under- stood, even by those who are making a living from handling it. When we consider them in the many different cycles the most of them pass through, growing in the greenhouses, awaiting augmentation and shipment in the grower's ill-constructed shed or cellar, then the wholesaler's ice box, the re- tailer's store, and the overheated rooms of the wealthy, each element opposing the requirement or laws of the other, we will find there is much to solve. Yet we will see that the flowers themselves are the best indi- cation of what is good and bad for them; in this light, too, they furnish unchangeable finger-posts on the road to success. It is quite true that much of the weakness in the keeping qualities of varieties of carnations is attributable to various conditions, such as over- heated cultivation, system of gather- ing, the place they are kept in. and the manner of shipping, all of which can be rectified by intelligent usages: but it must not be overlooked that there is also a varietal weakness. Your collection of carnations grown and handled in exactly similar modes will illustrate this. Nor is it safe to be guided by substance. Our experience has been that many of the apparently delicate fimbriated kinds were the best keepers, and this point has often made us imagine that fimbriation. though a detriment to the classic beauty of the ideal carnation of today, and particu- larly the future, yet has some value inasmuch as it appears to be a p:irt of a sustaining quality. From practical demonstrations, which we have recently had the pleas- ure of seeing, we are inclined to be- lieve that the carnation house of the future will not only do away with much of the troubles we encounter now but will be the greatest factor in the revolutionizing of that flower. Growers are inclined at ^oresent to look with disfavor on the high-roofed and roomy house, but we find that flowers grown cool in a pure atmos- phere possess the greatest lasting qualities, and may not this determine the architecture of the future? Car- nations require not only ventilation, but a large amount of continuous pure air and abundant light. Whilst a clean cut stem is desirous and conducive to retention of beauty because it is quicker in absorbing liq- uid, still we consider this of less im- portance than clean Jars and fresh water. Many growers store their car- nations and roses in the one cellar, and it is often too moist. Carnation flowers should never be wet. and should not be used until the stems are flrst well immersed in water. A good, cool, dry cellar, free from draughts and rats, is the best place in which you can keep them. One of the great troubles retailers have to contend with, particularly with flowers from a distance, is that, they are ignorantly packed. Mafi^ wholesalers shove every kind of flo"w- ers into an ill-smelling newspaijer- lined soap or shoe or pork box: heavy bulb stock is put on top of carnations, or they are enveloped in damp" tissue paper, and though the flowers 'may not show their exhausted or bruised con- dition when you receive them, they generally do so when you most want them not to. To change these condi- tions, as well as to get a more general knowledge of the flower itself, is not only desirous but absolutely necessary to the future of the carnation as we all wish to see it. We must recognize and remember this one fact, that the popularity of ibi- carnation is not due to its beauty or fragrance so much as it is to the. in many cases imaginary, lasting qual- ities. Most of your customers buy tlicm because they are cheaper and ki ip longer, and the vital branch of knowledge you desire is to find out I he varieties that will keep best in your store; this should interest the grower even more than you. Wouldn't practical demonstrations on gather- Hig. bunching, \aseing and packing the different flowers be of more use than deep paper studies at the.se annual meetings? Many might be induced to attend if they had to in order to see things. It is not so with papers; the letter carrier brings you those. There is considerable thought being given to the question, "Will striped carnations remain much longer in popularity?" No one can tell, because it depends more on the size of the flower. This can be said: the uses of striped flowers will always be more or less circumscribed becau.se their effect from a decorative point of view will never be as artistic as the self colors. The decorations of the future will de- mand much more care in color con- trasts and usages than they do now. You will perhaps notice that we are continually passing from one era of fad to another, not always advancing, but often going backwards and for- wards. The textile designers today can learn much from those who lived in the .seventh century, and whilst the fiorist may never look back on one or two lines, yet the architects and colorists who do have an influence on our art which we cannot ignore. Striped car- nations became fashionable more be- cause of the silks manufactured in Ly- ons than from any other cause, and "it is their size rather than color which does and will help them to retain their place in popular favor. It must not be thought we are always led bv the fads or creations of other arts. No. no; the florist does and is still capable of orig- inating fashions, but there are strict laws defining beauty, and there must be a unity among the elements from which that beauty is created. Many combinations of colors in flowers when arranged in quantity and under artificial light produce an ef- fect that is merely an illusion: those which are really beautiful under all conditions are of the greatest value. Most of the softest or undecided tones are usually and erroneously styled aes- thetic: that -quality can be found in the majority of colors. Plants, Etc. We would like to have a long chat with the grower who retails most of his stock, but we've onlv room now for a few words like this: Too many white azaleas is the worst stock you can have. Look to your pansies; vou will need lots of them this spring- they will be very popular: have them good. Primula Fnrbesi is not worth bother- 376 The Weekly Florists' Review. MARCH 1. 1900. ing With from a retail standpoint. Al- lium neapolitanum is grown by many because it's cheap and goad for funeral work. It is well to have a choice as- sortment of bulbous stocli on hand. Cheap grade stock may turn out all right for ■'making up," etc., but it is wrong to confine our efforts to the production of such. Grow a few of the finer kinds and educate yourself as well as the public: it pays to do so. We know a bulb grower with a ramshackle old place out in Jei-sey; he pays more for his choice bulbs, but he gets the highest price on the mar- ket, and can sell all he grows on Broadway and among the finest stores. Yes, when the market is glutted our late Duke of Marlborough her biidal bouquet, which we arranged, was a bunch of callas, and she was one cf the most particular and generous buy- ers of flowers we have ever had in New York. Of course, this was a fancy, and her name was Lily, but callas are permissible in many forms of decoration. What charming colors can be seen among Azalea Mollis. They torce well; perhaps they don't appear at their best when leafless and in large pots, but they "make up" fine all the same, especially with adiantum: and picture the color effects — it is impossible to obtain them from any other class of flowers, and we certainly advice the Wreath of Carniitions shown at Buffalo. friend sells out and gets his price, simply because his stock is choice and entirely different to the cheap medio- cre things one sees in, we are sorry to say, despised heaps all over the mar- kets. Don't despise that good old flower, the calla, for although our old lady customers seldom order them filled with violets, as they did in the old days, they are even in these ultra ex- tra particular days one of the most beautiful of flowers, and if you want to you can still make the finest of de- signs out of them. Here's an item never printed before anent callas. When Mrs. Hammersly married the grower-retailer to try some, and don't be afraid to use them as cut flowers?. Quite a business can be worked up in some sections with hyacinths in glass- es: if many could see them they'd buy. You'll soon be thinking of seeds. We mean the packet seed you retail; don't you know this is one of the greatest frauds that could be i)eri)e- trated on a confiding public? the vast majority of seed offered in retail stores is a lie; they are too old to germinate. If you wish to dabble in the seed trade, insist on getting good fre^h seed, and stop cheating the public, and preserve your reputation. Penstemons are lovely; why don't you try theni? Flowering vines are destined to become more popular as the years go by, mainly because they are not only very beautiful but that they furnish material for the new and best style of decoration; there is far more beauty in a cluster of flowering vines hanging on the wall or in space than there is in a room full of labored efforts in measured garlands or wreaths. If the furnishings are white or yel- low, bougainvillea will look fine; if they are black or any of the dark shades, Bignonia venusta is best. We speak only of the material in season. A good old stump of Cycas revoluta paya for itself; it's a good thing to have. Cinerarias are in, of course, but despite their beautiful colorings they are not popular here: the majority of their colors incline to purple and are consequently not in favor as house plants; they are cheap though and pay for the show they make in the greenhouse or store. ' Calceolarias make a grand show; try to get enough of them for a win- dow display next month; they're fine for table work or cut flowers, in fact anything, and it's a wonder we don't see more of them. A low bowl of nas- turtiums ig just about as pretty a thing as you can see at present; they are beautiful and eminently suitable for breakfast or luncheon table; they are easy to grow and they pay well. A few sprigs of lemon verbena or clean rose geranium may not be much in appearance, but they are very often mighty important; a store should never be without one or the other. Mignonette is bought because it Is supposed to be sweet; when it lacks that quality, no matter how big it is. it is a failure. We have so many strains on the market now, and the tendency seems to go for size, that much about this flower is misleading and a disappointment. The flower is not at all necessary to a successful business, not in the least from a beau- ty point of view; a sweet, moderate sized mignonette is far superior to the immense scentless sticks we often see. A vase of mixed bulbous flowers, one or two flowers of a kind, and plenty of them, makes a beautiful effect — a charming "Dutch Picture"; anything Dutch deserves consideration these days. IVERA. CARNATION ARRANGEMENTS. In the schedule of the American Carnation Society for the Buffalo ex- hibition under Class E appeared the following; Thp American CMriiation Society offers a tine .^silver cup for the best arrange- ment of carnation blooms, with their own or other foliage, but no other flowers to be used in the arrangement, and the design or arrangement must be such as to offer some new use tor carnation blooms to have the cup awarded. This brought out two entries, both of which we photographed, and plates appear in this issue. The cup was not awarded, the judges holding that MAHCIl 1, 1000. The Weekly Florists' Review. 377 Kift's Decorated Mirror at Buffalo. neitlier "offered some new use for carnation blooms." It seems to us that the provision indicated must be abol- ished if we are to have a really good competition in the arrangement of car- nations for decorative effect at the annual exhibitions. It is surely to be regretted that those who went to the trouble of entering did not receive more encouragement, and we trust that next year suitable prizes will be offered for the best arrangement of carnations and their foliage, without any other restrictions. A glance at the illustration of the wreath of carnations, which was en- tered by Mr. L. E. Marquisee, Syra- cuse. N. Y.v makes the method of ar- rangement plain. The mirror was decorated by Mr. Robert Kift. Philadelphia. The stems of the carnations are in little glass vases of water attached to a metal rod which has been curved to the form de- sired. It is a patented device of his own and a reference to the engraving in his advertisement in this issue will give you a very good idea of it. It will no doubt prove very useful to flor- ists generally. WEDDING DECOR /VTIONS. The Cleveland Town Topics prints the following descriptions of three decorations recently arranged by Ella G. Wilson, the florist, of that city: The Keith home was mo.'^t artistically trimmed and decorated for the wedding. The ceremony was solemnized in the re- ception room, a veritable green an marriage was celebrated In the liv- ing ror>m, a room of most generous pro- portions, finished In I-'lemlsh oak and bi'aiilifully furnished and decorated. The laixe fireplace was banked with ferns ami foliage plants; and before it was a great heart-shaped arch of white roses and carnations. Beneath this was the while satin kneeling cushion, a while heart at the back taking the place of the usual rail. The gleaming candles in the green background added much to the unique floral design. This room quite r<\serubled a forest of palms because of the great number used about the room. The pretty home was beautifully deck- ed atifl trimmed with flowers. Colonial garlands of i)ink and white roses and white carnations with smilax festooned the archways of the several rooms. The daitity pink and green reception room was decorated with vases of pink roses and palms. Red rrtses and foliage pl.'ints were used in the parlor and yel- low daffodils graced the library. The mantel here was filled with ferns and plants relieved with clusters of white azaleas. The serving table in the red dining-room was done in white and grcfii. There was a center decoration of wdiite roses, white hyacinths and maid- en-hair ferns tied with bows of green and white gauze ribbon. The silver candlesticks held candles with beautiful green silk shades. A shower of white roses depended from the chandelier above. White tulips and hyacinths and candelabra with green candles decorated the buffet. A UNIQUE SCHOOL. On the banks of the Hudson high up on a knoll, every foot of which is sacred in the history of the American revolution, there stands today one of the most interesting establishments to be found anywhere. It is the New York Deaf and Dumb Institute, situat- ed at IGiith street and Washington av- enue. New York City. Several hundred boys and girls are being cared for and educated here. The buildings are large and specially designed, and the grounds surrounding them extensive. But it is only to the horticultural part of the institute that we wish to draw attention, and the greatest credit is due Prof. E. H. Currier for the es- tablishing and maintenance of this beautiful section of the educational department. At one side of the lawns stand a group of model greenhouses, a rose house, a carnation house, gen- eral plant house and a fine conserva- tory, all of which are filled with stock in the best of condition. The cut flow- ers and plants are used in the paint- ing and designing classes at the school, but the most important is the horticultural class, consisting of 3.5 boys, who daily work among the plants in the greenhouses, and are taught common sense, practical les- sons in gardening by our friend, Ar- thur K, Petit, who has charge of the plants and grounds. Some of the very finest cyclamen ever seen in New York City have been grown at this place, and by what we saw there at the time of our visit this reputation is in no danger. Mr. Petit is getting a fine batch of pelargoniums into shape and hopes to be able to 378 The Weekly Florists^ Review. MARCH 1, 191X1. exhibit tiiem at some sliow wlien in bloom. The visitor to these green- houses during school liours will see TROUBLE WJTH ROSES. I have a house planted with Brides, Maids and Perles. Temperature is kept at about 55 to 58 degrees at night, with the exception of one or two very severe nights, when it diopped to 50 degrees before morning. The Brides and Maids are dropping their leaves and an occasional plant turns black at the base of the stem and finally becomes limp. The roots appear to be all right. In other years I have had good suc- cess in rose growing and do not think I have neglected them. Is it a dis- ease, and if so, what shall I do to check it. I do not like to give food to the plants while they continue to drop leaves. Have kept them rather on the dry side. SUBSCRIBER. Replying to Subscriber, must say that the drop in temperature to 50 de- gress on cold nights cannot be respon- sible for the roses dying, nor do I think from his description it is a dis- ease. Am inclined to think it is an injury the plants may have received, as only an occasional plant dies. Dur- ing the dark months roses frequently drop a number of leaves, and if the plants are in a good condition this does no harm, but if the dropping is excessive and is indicative of disease the leaves that do drop should be thoroughly cleaned from the bench with any other loose material that may be on the surface. From Subscril>er's letter I am in- clined to think the bark at the base of the plants which are dying has been injured, either mechanically or by an insect. Would advise him to examine the base of such plants as show they are affected to ascertain If an Insect has injured the bark: if so. It must be destroyed, when his trouble will be relieved. Then give the beds a thorough examination; that is. go to much of interest. The students are mute, so are the p;ants and flowers, but there is a language understood be- tween them. Affliction seems to lose much of its darkne*;s among the brightness and fragrance of flowers. All honor to those who recognize the Influence and importance of hortlcul- liiie. J. I. DOM.AN. the very bottom of the benches and as close to plants as possible, antr see that the soil is damp to the bottom and on the other hand not soggy, and then apply water so the bed is in per- fect growing condition. (I judge Sub- scriber knows when liis soil is in proper growing condition, as he states he has had good success heretofore. ) Keep the soil in good gi-owing condi- tion, a little on the dry side, till the plants are making a good break, then increase the supply of water as tliey require it. Do not apply any feed un- til plants are in good gi-owth again and then a little liquid manure may help them along. Subscriber should, in preparing stock for next season's planting, use wood from plants that are In perfect health, taken with a keen knife; the greatest care should be taken not to injure the bark in making or inserting the cut- tings, nor in fact at any stage In their growth from the time they are taken from the plant as cutting wood till set In the bed. I have seen plants put In benches with the bark partly black or a black ring around the plant, the stem above and l)elow In good condition; have marked several of these plants, and in every case they have died at some stage of growth before the 1st of Feb- ruary. To have plants go through the dark days of fall and winter too great care cannot be taken to have them in per- fect health In every respect at time of planting. A. O. T. PIECE-ROOT GRAFTS ON ROSES. I have been waiting for some one to tell me how It Is done and w-hat ad- vantage it has. if any. 1 suppose all florist:? know that the millions of young apple trees that are sold every year are propagated by what is known as the piece-root graft. Nurserymen are all busy now making them and packing them in damp saw- dust so as to have them ready to set out In the spring. Now. It occurred to me thit the same might be used on roses. Having received in the fall of 1898 a very pcor lot of Manetti plants. I cut off the best plants and made a thousand root grafts, and put them In the sand just as we would common rose cuttings. They nearly all rooted and made strong plants. We planted them In one end of a bench and planted out the bal- ance with other plants on their own roots. We thought that we could sea a marked difference in favor of the grafted roses for three or four months, but today I could not tell which were grafted if I did not know. I set out the Manetti stocks; they soon made new roots and we have 2.000 more piece-root grafted roses in the sand, which are rooting nicely. I think If I had let the Manetti stocks stand two years before taking them up they would have made roots for eight or ten thousand grafts. The weather was mild and the ground in good condition, so I set out my Manetti stocks for the second time last week. I intend to let them grow t-wo years, so as to make strong roots. I hired a man who makes grafting a business every winter. He can put In from 1,500 to 2,500 a day with the help of a boy to tie. I paid him $2.50 a day, so, if this proves any help in the growing of roses it need not be expensive. I suppose many other florists have tried the same thing and would be glad to learn how others have succeed- ed. Also, if grafted roses have any real advantage over those on their own roots. GEORGE M. KELLOGG. Plea.sant Hill, Mo. ROSE BEDS. We have a center bed in a rose house which we wish to make a solid bed for roses, the l>ed to be planted in .June. It Is sided up about two feet high and was filled with soil about sixteen inches deep, leaving eight or nine inches on top to be filled in. What we would like to know is, would It do to fill in two or three inch- es with coarse coal cinders and then fill up with good rose soil about six inches deep? Would that make a good drainage, or would coal cinders be in any way dangerous to roses? Would jt be best to make the layer of rose soil deeper. SUBSCRIBER. I have never used coal cinders In fill- ing solid beds for roses, but If the Bshes are screened out so there will be good drainage there is no doubt they will be all right, as for many years I have used fine cinders and ashes on benches on which young pot roses were set, and when the roots came through the pots and got among the cinders they were always fleshy and clear white, showing they were in congenial surroundings, and the plants made very rapid growth. At one time I purchased a lot of 2- MARCH 1. 1900. The Weekly Florists^ Review. 379 Nc V Scarlet Camilion Eskllc. inch roses and upon unpacking tliem found tlie soil had a great deal of the cinders that are taken from the front of a locomotive boiler, and 1 never saw finer plants with better roots, so I am sure the cinders will be rathei' an advantage than a detriment. I would prefer not having the soil more than six inches deep. I would make the coal ashes four or six inches deep rather than two or three inches. A. O. T. ROSE GROWING WITH CHEMICAL FERTILIZERS. We have received a printed report of some very interesting experiments in the use of chemical feitilizeis on roses that have been carried on by Prof. Wm. Stuart. Assistant Botanist of the Indiana Agricultural Expe: i- ment Station at Lafayette. The re- port covers a great number of trials of different chemicals, under various con- ditions, and results are shown by half- tone engravings from photographs of the plants. Prof. Stuart concludes his report with the following summary: "There is every reason to believe from the results obtained in the sev- eral experiments enumerated, that chemical fertilizers when properly used may be made to serve every need of the rose plant so far as food is con- cerned. "The use of raw bone meal in every instance gave an increased yield over that of the control plants, as well as giving a greater percentage of gain than did those receiving other forms of phosphoric acid. "Pure bone meal is not injurious to rose plants, even when applied in amounts largely in excess of the re- quirements of the plant. "The acidulated bone meal which has been used by florists and supposed to be harmful, did not produce any noticeable injury, even when used in large amounts. "As a rule, a combination of phos- phoric acid and nitrate of soda gave better results than one of phosphoric acid and muriate of potash. "Two or three applications of pot- ash during the season was found to be preferable to a single application, although in some instances no injury from the single application was ap- parent. "A larger number of Perle roses were produced from plants grown in a black than in a clay loam, while the Kaiserin gave reverse results." THRIPS ON ROSES. In combating thrips on roses Prof. Wm. Stuart, of the Indiana Experi- ment Station, reports that frequent spraying of the plants with a-'weak solution of Rose Leaf extract of to- bacco, one part of the extract to 7.5 parts of water, proved efficacious. The spraying was done in the evening, and followed up in the morning by a hard syringing with water. Three or four applications were generally suffi- cient to destroy or drive away the thrips. WETTING COAL. I would like to hear from any flor- ist.s who have experimented with wet- ting soft coal before using it. Is there any benefit in it? I notice that all the railroads do it and all coal used on locomotives is wet before being used. Some benefit miLst result or railroads would not de- mand it of their firemen. I would like to hear from anyone that has tried it. P. S. We referred the inquiry to a large dealer in coal, who replies as follows: "It is sometimes considered a good plan to wet coal before using, especi- ally where there is much fine coal, the idea being that not only is the dust kept down, but the coal gives a longer flame when burning, by the heat de- composing the water into oxygen and hydrogen, which are afterwards burnt in the flues. This plan is therefore used when the flues are long. On the other hand, the advantage of this plan is questioned by many engineers, ow- ing to the fact that the benefit derived from the longer flame is offset by the loss of heat required to decompose the water. Speaking generally, how- ever. We would say that in boilers where the flues are long it would un- der any circumstance be advisable to wet the coal, but where a long flame is not particularly desirable, the only bi-nefit derived from wetting the coal would be to keep down the dust." The editor of "The Black Diamond." Chicago, a periodical devoted to the coal industry, says: "There is no di- rect benefit obtained from wetting coal prior to consumption. There is. how- ever, an indirect benefit — that which obtains from the concentration of the smaller particles of carbon and dust; olher than this there is none." OBITUARY. E. S. Carman. E. S. Carman, tor twenty-five years editor of the Rural New Yorker, died yesterday (F'ebruary 28) at his home in New York, of pneiimonia, aged 61 years. He leaves a widow, son and daughter. Mr. Carman was a man of marked originality and ability and he made his paper a potent factor in the ad- vancement of horticulture. He car- ried on very extensive experiments upon his own grounds and his crosses between various grains, potatoes, ber- ries, etc., as well as roses and other ornamental plants, brought forth some striking and useful results that have made his name known in every state in the Union. He was a man of strong convictions 380 The Weekly Florists^ Review. MARCH 1, 1900. and in his paper carried on a vigorous campaign against anything in the hor- ticultural world that did not accord with his views of what was right, and he knew no fear in doing what he considered his duty. He was withal a man of broad education and refine- ment. In his death American horti- culture loses a powerful supporter of its best interests. Fuchsias. I have had occasion to remark be- fore that fuchsias propagated after this date make poor plants. The plants have given so many cuttings that the growths now made at this late date want to flower and make but a poor growth. Don't throw away your old plants of fuchsias. If allowed to grow on they make fine material to again give you good plants for another year's propagation: or if you are asked to fill up a shady bed or border with these pretty and old familiar plants, the old plants will be most satisfac- tory. Remember, in growing on young fuchsias they should not have less than 50 degrees at night, plenty of syring- ing, and shifting whenever needed. The soil should be at least one-third rotten manure and it is worth while to mention that well decayed refuse hops suits fuchsias better than any other manure, and there are few of our soft- wooded plants that it does not suit. Many years ago we grew our La Purite and Edwardsii carnations well for those days with at least a fourth of refuse hops. Lemon Verbeoi. The lemon verbena always sells well and is always in demand, and a stock is easily produced if you have a few old plants that were grown in pots last summer and kept nearly dormant till now. Get them up, shake out the soil, repot after cutting back the shoots just a little, start growing in about 55 de- grees, with plenty of syringing, and you will get any amount of young cut- tings, which, if not allowed to wilt in the sand and given lo(s of water, will root as surely, if not as quickly, as an ageratum, Lantanas. Lantanas should also now be started in a warm house, and the young growths root easily. These plants are not grown as much as they were, but in mixed borders are useful, free grow- ing plants. Hydrangeas. Hyilrangeas that are wanted for late May sales will be starting to make a growth If they are kept where they usually are — under a cool bench. Don't let them make a weak growth there. It is better to keep them in the light from now on. but in the coolest house you have. I have found that about the same time that bedding plants go is the time when there is the best de- mand for hydrangeas. They are usual- ly bought to stand on verandas and the less advanced they are the more satisfactory they will be. It is a good time now to put in a batch of hydrangea cuttings for your next year's forcing plants. They root most readily. The strong young shoots from the bottom of the plant make the best stock, far better than the weaker terminal growth. Cannas. It is a favorable time now to get up your canna roots and clean and cut up. Tnder a bench, where there was little drip and kept from the ground by boards, ours have wintered. A single piece of root with one good eye is plenty large enough to make a fine plant for spring planting. Even if you are not ready to start them they are no worse for being cleaned a few days ahead. Much time and room is saved by starting the canna roots and caladi- ums in flats with an inch or so of soil in the bottom. Well rotted manure is just as good and then two inches of sand. 1'lie roots can go quite close to- gether and \>c well started before they need the 4 or 5-inch pot. We usually don't have bench room for the cannas or caladiums until our Easter crops arc cleared out. so don't put the canna flats on the pipes more than four weeks before Easter. Viol ts. We have bad the greatest success with some benches of Marie Louise violet this winter and some benches not as good, and without exception the best plants and best results have been those from plants propagated from cuttings of the true runners cut off and put in the sand as we do other cuttings. The trouble is it is difficult to get enough of 'the runners to give you sufficienl stock. I mention this now because the plants will now be sending out runners and none should be wasted. Put thii-m in the .sand, and the same bed that roots carnations does finely for the violets, which is equal to saying any box or bench of sand in a cool house. WM. SCOTT. BOTTOMLESS POTS. In the issue of The Review for Feb. 1.") I notice an article Re unfavorable reports of bottomless pots, and do not think it justice on my part not to men- tion this fact. Last fall I read in The Review about bottomless pots, and having some A. Sprengeri in pans that needed shifting I thought it would be a good idea to try the bottomless pot .system. I knocked the bottoms out of the pans and planted in bench in 12 inches of soil and they have done re- markably well. Were the pots made a little deeper, say, 15 inches, they are in my opinion a grand acquisition tor growing A. Sprengeri. having all the advantages of the bench, besides keeping the fronds from getting dirty, and better than hanging baskets, as they do not dry out so quickly. Also I believe there are probably other things this pot may be useful for. and hope before it is altogether dropped the florists will give it a fair trial. HARRY McNAUGHTON. Berlin. Ont. [The item we published was based entirely upon reports from violet growers, and we understand that this style of pot has been most largely used by them.— Ed.] EXPRESS SHIPMENTS. We notice that at the convention of the Carnation Society some reference was made to expres.s shipments and losses on same. I would like to have the opinion of wholesale plant ship- pers on the following case: .T. shipped a box of palms to M. on 11 o'clock train Saturday night. It was zero weather at the time. The box had a double lining of paper in- side and express paper outside, no wadding being used. M. got the box from the express company on Monday, also a letter, at 8 a. m. The plants were frozen stiff. M. wrote to .1. and asked whether to return the box or throw the plants on the dump pile, as they were not accepted. .1. wrote back saying that M. should put in a claim against the express company. M. holds that as the plants were not properly packed he had. no cldim against the express company, and if such a claim was to be made it should be done by the shipper. And he don't believe it would be just to make the express company pay, anyway. It would be an encouragement to the shippers to pack plants "any old way" and then claim damages from the ex- press companies when injury results. MAKCH I. 1000.

We wci'c awfully Khid to kni>\v Ihat our worthy friend. W. T. Bell, o£ Franklin, I'a., brought along to the carnation convention his in.sepaiahle friend, old Sam Do (!raw. We are apt to call him old, but ho is little more than in the very prime of life, but hav- ing hibernated tunong tho rocky ra- vines of the AUeghanies his environ- ment has left its mark on his rugged character and he has become slightly fassilized, which has adder and the judges had not to wander all over the hall to make comparisons." But bless old Sam's heart, you could not get a com- pliment out of him with a post auger. Sam condemns again the method of scoring or scaling points in judging the applicants for certificates, but his last remark leaves the matter in chaos. It is a windy, voluminous subject, Mr. Editor, but as one of those who have judged in the certificate class for the past four years, I must say a word in its defense. Whatever they had the misfortune to do in Chicago we have nothing to do with, and the judging committee of the A. C. S. has never scored on a flower yet that came near perfection in all points. It is by com- parison that points are scored. When a flower appears with the stem of a Jubilee, the size of "666," the form of Gov. Roosevelt, the substance of Day- break, the calyx of Mrs. Bradt, with a strong clove fragrance, it will score full points on those qualities. If it is a white, that is. pure white, or a scar- let the shade of old "Dazzle," it will deserve full score for color. In inter- mediate shades it must rest on the judgment of the judges. Don't you think that the men who have judged the seedlings for several years know what is about the highest standard and in all the qualities that go to make a fine carnation? They do, aa the result of their judging for sev- eral years past will show. And with a remarkably small exception their judgment has been verified by the va- riety v?hich scored high, or on the other hand by the poor success of va- rieties that did not receive a certifi- cate. To appoint men as judges who had been in the backwoods for ten years and had not watched the grad- ual but certain development of the car- nation would be unwise, but men who are acquainted with all the varieties of the past ten years are well aware of what is the present standard of per- fection, and no flower possesses them all. So it is by comparison that we judge and score the points, and I be- lieve it is entirely satisfactory at pres- ent. A proof that it is is evidenced by all the leading growers submitting their seedlings to be passed on. The cruelest cut of all that old Sam gives us is his remark about the con- vention room. He says he looked in and thought it was a smoker. Now, truthfully, there was not 5 per cent, of the men pi'i-:.iiil ..uioklu;^. li lie li.nl been among us, which was his right place, he would have seen young .\Ir. Craig ably presiding over an earnest lot of men discussing very practical questions connected with the culture of the carnation and the very faint odor of nicotine would have dispelled that halo of victory which tho absent qiutrter of an inch produced. Men have been known to die with too much and too sudden joy. Sam's imaginary victory weighed on all his iieive centers and clouded his i)ro- found intellect. It was no smoker, gentlemen, far from it; it was an earnest and in- structive meeting, and what would have added greatly to it would have been the sound sense and shrew^d ob- servations of such men a.'? old Sam De Graw.

The floral euchre party given by the club last Friday evening was a grand success, considering the wea- ther. The prizes, 58 in all, consisting of palms of all kinds, ferneries, bloom- ing plants and boxes of cut flowers, were donated by the following flor- ists: F. C. Weber, Beyer Bros., Wm. Schray, F. J. Fillmore, Julius Koenig, Geo. Windier, C. C. Sanders, C. Young & Sons Co., John Kunz, John Steidle, J. F. Ammann, C. A. Kuehn, I'". J. Windt, Henry Emundt, Max Herzog and J. J. Beneke. Although there were 260 in attend- ance, the cold weather no doubt kept many away. The arrangement com- mittee had everything in readiness at S p. m., and after playing twelve games the 58 prizes were given to the winners. Dancing, which the young folks en- joyed, was then begun, and not until 2 a. m. did the last person leave the hall. The euchre, which will net the club aliout 1100, was voted a success and uiaif.v expressed the wish that the club repeat it before the winter season ends. The Market. Business is still very good and all florists report an exceptionally good week. Plenty of funeral work and plenty of weddings and parties. The West End florists report a good Feb- ruary trade. The do\vn town florists also say that February was a good 382 1 'he Weekly Florists' Review* MARCH 1. 1900. month with them. Quite a number of weddings will take place this week owing to the approach of Lent and after this week business will be quiet for a while. Flowers will be more ))lentiful again and the high prices will drop. The wholesale men report an ex- cellent shipping trade in roses and carnations. Prices on stock at this writing are as follows: Meteors, ex- tra fine, $8 and $10; .seconds, $5. Brides and Maids, extra, $8 and $10 Woottons and Perles, $4 and $5, American Beauties are from $3 to $(, per dozen. All the above are still scarce and the demand great. George Kuhl, of Pekin, is sending in roses as good as any. Carnations are in great demand and not half enough come into this market to supply the demand; any color, common or fancy, are sold at good prices, the average of which is $2 and $2.50, while some extra fancy bring $4. Valley, hya- cinths and daffs are the same as quoted last week. Harrisii and callas are in great demand at $12.50 and $15. Great quantities of California violets are coming in just now and sold last week at $2.50 per 1,000, 40 cents per 100. Small singles are low in price and southern stock is unsalable. Smi- lax is slow at $12.50. Notes. Visitors in town the past week were George A. Kuhl, Pekin, 111., and Charles A. Stevens, foreman for Mr. Kuhl, also of Pekin. Your correspondent has received a letter from our old friend Thomas Carroll, formerly of this city, now at San Francisco, Cal., who writes that the climate is doing him lots of good, but that he does not expect to recover his eyesight. He is living a quiet life with his sister and will not return to St. Louis until next year. Ho wishes to be remembered to all h* friends through The Review, which he has read to him every week in Frisco. C. Young & Sons Co. have been very busy the past week. They furnished the decorations for one of the largest weddings of the season on Friday, using an enormous amount of flowers of all kinds. From present indications quite a number of new greenhouses will be built the coming summer by several of our large growers and also by the smaller ones, and especially at Kirk- wood, as nearly all of them there will add to their present ones. Some of the boys of the bowling club are wondering what has become of our old friend and former mem- ber of the club, Duncan Finlayson. We have heard that he got married. Some of the boys would like to hear from him, and as Mr. Finlayson al- ways reads The Review, we expect to hear soon how Mr. and Mrs. Finlay- son and family are getting along. Come, Duncan, don't be bashful. You know you were our best, and had you been at Detroit with us we would still be the champions. Bowling. The Florists' Bowling Club rolled its usual five games on Monday night. The attendance was slim. Mr. \Vm. Adles of the .luniors was a visitor and rolled with us.

Some coming events cast their shadows before. Lent always does to the flower business. There was a sud- den stop to the fast whirl of trade and many there are who will still dig for reasons. Albers & Co. have opened a retail florist store at 4«th St. and 5th Ave. Moore, Hentz & Nash, 119 West 23d St., are receiving exhibition Brides- maids. They find their way into the Broadway stores, be trade good or bad. So do Thomas Young's Brunners and cattleyas. The New York Gardeners' Society's carnation show and quarterly meeting will be held on March 27th, the first day of the American Rose Society's show. Mr. C. W. Ward has offered the Gardeners' Society a silver cup, value $25, for the best collection of carna- tions. There must be 12 blooms of a kind, and not less than 5 varieties, 3 of which must consist of the follow- ing varieties sent out by Mr. Dorner: Scott, Albertini, Richmond, White Cloud. Gold Nugget, Crane, or of the sorts disseminated by Mr. Ward, viz.: Mrs. Jas. Dean, New York, John Young, Glacier, Maceo and Gomez. All the new carnations will be at this show, and those wishing further in- formation will get it by applying to J. I. Donlan, 43 West 28th St., New York city. The results at the bowling alleys last night were: A. Marshall m ion 151 ' - 'o'."F 1™ 136 131 \\ . Siebrecht 150 147 142 <\ Moody ISO no 130 ;•• Jraondly 150 l,'j7 1.34 L. Hafner 126 15S 110 I .

Various Notes. A vase of the new carnation Marquis in the window of H. A. Dreer attracted considerable attention. J. J. Habermelil's Sons did the deco- rating for the Philopatron ball. It was one of the largest of the season. Hugh Graham executed the decorat- ing for the Hebrew charity ball. It was a grand affair. A meeting of the Farmers' Institute for Philadelphia county was held on February 24 under the auspices of the Pennsylvania Horticultural Society and the Florists' Club of Philadelphia at Horticultural Hall. There were two sessions, afternoon and evening. The address of welcome was deliv- ered by W. Atlee Burpee. Mr. Meehan, Jr., in the absence of his father, read _a^ paper on landscape gardening, which was very instruc- tive. Prof. MacFarlaine, of the University of Pennsylvania, gave an illustration of the Botanic Gardens of England in the shape of lantern slides showing different water lily ponds, fern and palm houses. W. H. Taplin read a paper on "Ferns Specially Adapted to House Culture." The Bowling Club has arranged for a theater benefit on March 16 at the Walnut Street theater. Tickets can be had for same at the club i-oom. Mr. Bancroft, Jr., of Cedar Falls, la., was one of our visitors the past week. R. BOSTON. The first half of the week beginning February 19 consisted of three very busy days for our growers and sales- men. Goods of all kinds were in plenty, but the good demand made use of them all. Since the middle of the week there has been a falling off in both supply and demand. This is caused probably almost wholly by heavy rains all day on the 22nd and at times ever since to the end of the week. High grade roses and all grades of violets got too plentiful for Satur- day, the latter getting upon the street in the evening in astonishing quanti- ties. Although prices on bulb goods have run rather low most of the time this winter, there has been no general slump on (he market, and no goods of the kind have gone to waste, and growers in that line confess to the best season for five years. Perhaps they are hardly out of the woods yet, but their expressions indicate they think the danger point passed. I hear a number making the remark that the new firm of Long & Marshall, Hotel Thorndike. florists and confec- tioners, seem to be carrying on a good enough business. Well, they know how, and have a good chance to do it. MAKCll 1, 19IH1. The Weekly Florists^ Review* 383 Mr. CaUler reports very l'iivoral)le results from his roiiiovul to present (luarters, assigning it all to the fact that all subway cars now i)ass his door, many customers niakiuR the re- mark they saw his sign ami juiniieil from the ear to purchase. It needs no words on theii- part to estalilish the fact that Houghton H. Clark made a Kood move when they crossed the street last fall. They have surely nearly doubled their business. It is hoped that a good white car- nation will be evolved from the trade exhibition n<'xt Saturday. [!. 'I', BUFFALO. The worst storm of the season visit- ed this locality on Saturday aftei-noon. Rain turned to .snow, and then came a (iO-mile-an-hour breeze, and the key being out of my bedroom door, which opens on to a balcony, there was a foot of snow on the carpet in the morning. Of course, it was not all over the room, but in drifts, the largest drift being three feet from the keyhole where all the snow had passed through. This may seem improbable to a native of Sicily, or even the south of England, but is a common occurrence in Buffalo even in the best regulated families. Under such conditions many of onr oldest inhabitants have passed away (some even frozen to death) to that bourne where snow and ice is popu- larly supposed to be non-existent, however much their elements would be enjoyed. Business has been better than foi several weeks past and no scarcity of flowers. Most of the store windows are gay with azaleas and other flower- ing plants, and tulips always liven up and look cheerful. We are always sorry we cannot send you a bowling score, but sport is at a low ebb. The nearest thing to report in that line is Prof. John F. Cowell's trip to the everglades of Florida. He hopes to bring home some live alliga- tors and perchance a Seminole squaw who has escaped the happy hunting grounds and the civilizing bullet, but incidentally he will look for tall and stately palms to adorn the magnificent conservatory at South Park. We did not see him off, but under- stand that he took his friend liudd's advice and loaded his grip with the great and popular antidote for snake and tarantula bites. We trust the pro- fessor will be saved both from the bites and the antidote. The latter is sometimes most deadly. We understand there is a large herd of bulb growers traveling west. They have not struck our town _ yet. and perhaps we may escape. Mr.' Giesy, of Cincinnati, is in town, and when he is around you neither feel cold nor lone- some. Mr. McHutchison, of New York, was also here looking after Pan-Amer lean prospects. It seems to me that if Mr. Mc. talks as they do in Australia. that his accent is preferable to any we hear. It is not so frothy as the Cock- ney, nor as soapy or slangy as New York, nor so nasal as Chicago, nor so much "aaw" as Philadelphia. It is sharp, clear and pleasant. This is uo credit to the young man, because it is the accent of the antipodes, and he imbibed it as naturally as a Cockney says "You cawn't, cawn't ye." Wc recovered from the carnation convention with the greatest prompt- ness and pleasure and are ready for another at your earliest convenience, but must content ours(dvcs with look- ing forward to Haltimore; and, ijy- the-by, those pictures of Mr. K. llal- liday are, in my opinion, very unlike him. The real, live, animated Hob lialliday is (luite a different looking man, and to prove it I trust all my readers will journey to the land of the Oriole next year. W. S. BALTIMORE. Within a few months will be re- moved two glass s'tructures which mark an epoch in horticultural devel- opment in this city. These are the conservatories at Patterson Park and at "Bolton," the home of Mr. W. W. Spence, the latter of which has been bought as the site for the new armory of the 5th regiment, our crack militia organization. Both of these houses are of the curvilinear type, with a central palm pavilion and wings for stove and cool specimens, and were erected by the predecessors of the present Lord & Burnham Co., and nearly at about the same time, say, between 1875 and 1S77. .lust in that era the Maryland Horticultural Soci- ety had been re-established, and for years a wave of enthusiasm for collec- tions of fine plants passed over the community. Such men as Wm. H. Pe- rot, Wm. T. Walters, Wm. W. Spence, Robt. W. L. Rasin, the Garretts, the Hoens, Edward Kurtz, Captain Snow, George S. Brown and other private cul- tivators, and those in the trade, such OS Wm, D. Brackenridge, John Feast, Robt. J. Halliday, Andrew Black. Sam'l Feast & Sons, James Pentland, etc., had collections of foliage and flowering specimens equal to those found in any other community. The fondness for such displays ex- tended to our city parks and, to ac- commodate the accumulation there, the conservatory now going into de- cay was erected, much to the pleasure of the people of that portion of our municipality, in which Patterson Park is located. About the same time Mr. Spence put up what was then esteemed a, beautiful example of a modern plant structure. Like the other, it is about at the end of its life. For several years past it has been in charge, with the surrounding handsome grounds lo- cated in the heart of an urban popu- lation, of Mr. John Donn, long known as one of the stand-bys of the trade here. Beginning at Kew, filtering through the Americanizing hands of Peter Henderson, head gardener , at Mrs, Isabella Brown's, then in success- ful business for himself, Mr. Donn has gained in substance, reputation and avoirdupois. He was one of the lead- ers in popularizing chrysanthemums in this territory, and to his energy, in- lluencf! and persistence the success of our earlier shows was largely due, whilst doubtless in pecuniary returns he gained more than any other who omliarked in the exploitation of hese popular favorites. Referimce in a late Iteview to c.ie of our older gardeners brings up an- other notable figure — James Pentland, now th(- very Nestor of the craft! Of the tough fibre which is the out- growth of North Irish, or Scotch- Irish blood, he carries his eighty years jauntily, his head silvered, but his eye as bright, his heart as light as a boy"'s, his step unfaltering, his spirit undaunt- ed. For two-thirds of a century he has worked with a trowel and knife and spade, at the bench, in the trench and in the nursery row, and worked, too, just like he played— with all his might. He has always been known for his frank speech, and friend as w-ell as foe was liKSTy to get the rough side of his keen tongue if he deserved it. But, friend or foe, clerk or layman, was sure of getting honest, fair treat- ment; and his word was ever his bond. Mr. Pentland, after several years' apprenticeship in Philadelphia, came to Baltimore in 1844, and was em- ployed in Gr^enmount Cemetery as gardener. In 1849 he bought the prop- erty opposite the cemetery gate, where he still carries on the business then begun. As common to the gardeners of that day, he grew bedding stuff, roses, nursery stock, exotic grapes and cut flowers, going to market to dispo.-e of his products, taking contracts to plant country estates, and keeping city gardens trim, etc. He soon began to pay particular attention to the pro- duction of roses— the garden sorts, and enlarged his operations in this direc- tion until at the time of the civil war his annual output was about 100,000 roses, from pots, he having in his houses 750 sorts from which stock was propagated. He engaged in hybridiz- ing varieties and produced several which were well received by the trade, notably George Peabody and Beauty of Greenmount (Bourbons), Woodland Margaret (Noisette), and Doctor Kane (hybrid tea). Mr. Pentland for many years cultivated extensively the ca- mellia, and raised some fine seedlings of his own, of which Gen. Robt. E. Lee, carmine, spotted white; Stone- wall Jackson, white, striped scarlet; Anna, a beautiful pink, were conspicu- ously meritorious. Mr. Pentland's long association with the flower trade of the country, the noteworthy' collection of roses so long maintained by him and attracting many visitors, has filled him with re- miniscences both curious and interest- ing, which are still dear in his mem- ory. He recalls now, after more than sixty-five years, that at Mr. Fetters', in Philadelphia, he potted the first 38 1 The Weekly Florists^ Review. MARCH 1, 1900. plants coining to America of roses Souvenir d'un Ami, Hermosa, Mme. Bosanquet, La Reiiie, and Mme. Laf- fay. Outside of liis business, too, Mr. Pentland lias led in many activities and been much honored by his fellow- men. One term he represented this city in the legislature of Maryland. For many years he has been a promi- nent manager of the Maryland Insti- tute, the local School of Art and De- sign. Only a year ago he was president of the Gardeners' Club, pre- siding with skill and vigor. He Is one of the oldest Masons in the state, es- teemed by the whole craft, and with many testimonials of their affection and respect in shape of services of sil- ver, diplomas, jewels, etc. That this old gardener's life and health may long be continued is hoped sincerely by innumerable friends. The contracts to furnish plants for the coming season for our parks and public squares have been given out. Of the 190,000 required, E. A. Seidewitz gets 92,000 and the balance is divided among six other growers. The follow- ing are the figures of the awards by the thousand: Alternanthera, $20; ac- alypha, ?41; ageratum, $20; caladium, ?4U; canna, $48; celosia, $35; centau- rea, $20; geraniums, $50; coleus, $20; iresine, $23; oxalis, $23; echeveria, $35; petunas, $20; pyrethum, $18; rici- nus, $38; rudbecka, $20; torenia. $20; tagetes, $20; salvia, $25; vin- ca, $20; zinnia, $20. This includes delivery and planting. The aggre- gate makes, it is said, from $2,000 to $3,000 less than was paid for an equal number last year. Hereafter the city will raise its own plants for this purpose. Many would be willing to wage they will then cost more than the prices at which they have been thus bought in open market. The demand for cut flowers for the week ending this day (February 26) has been unusually brisk, and prices obtained better than are customary at any time except Christmas and Easter. (Jood roses have been scarce in all va- rieties and carnations have not been abundant enough to go around. Mr. Julius Tischinger, one of the older florists here, was recently the victim of a paralytic stroke. Hopes are entertained for his recovery. RIX. SAN FRANQSCO. The Market. The weather this week is finer than the business done, with good stock scarce and hard to get. Quite a lot of daffodils can be seen at the stores and :ire fair as to quality. Prices: American Beauties, $3.50 to $5.00; Brides, Bridesmaids and Mete- ors, 75 cents to $1; Siebrechts, 50 cents; Brunners, 12i/4 cents per doz.. Carna- tions, Hobart, $1 to $1.25; Crocker, 50 to 75 cents; Schwerin and Flora Hill, 50 cents; mixed fancies, 35 cents; Bradt and Gold Nugget, 35 to 50 cents; Portia and Scott, 20 to 25 cents per doz. Harrisii, $2.50 to $3.50; lily of the valley, 25 to 50 cents per doz.; daffo- dils, $1.50; freesias, 75 cents to $1; pa- per whites, 50 cents; callas, $1 per 100; violets, Princess of Wales, 50 to 75 cents; Californias, 40 to 50 cents; Swanley Whites, 50 cents per doz. bunches. Notes. Jager & Jacquement, on Sutter street, have dissolved partnership. Mr. Jager will run the business in his own name, while Mr. .lacquement will start in with his brother on Fourth street. Simons, at Fruitvale, is cutting some very fine Brides and Meteors that are bought up quickly. Mr. Carl Breyer is supplying San Francisco with its finest lily of the valley. Mr. J. Franks, North Temescal. will leave his nursery in good hands while he tries his luck in Cape Nome. B. W. McLellan has discarded his crutches and now walks around with the aid of a cane. Sometimes he for- gets the cane and walks without it. Mr. Wm. Falconer, supeiintendent of Schenley Park and conservatories, Pittsburg, Pa., is here on a visit to the parks of the Pacific coast. Superintend- ent John McLaren escorted the noted visitor through Golden Gate Park. Mr. Falconer pronounced the work of clothing the wastes of sands with bor- ders as marvelous and the beauty of the park unsurpassed. The writer paid a visit to Mr. S. Jones, of Fruitvale, on February 22nd, and after the greenhouses were in- spected and the fine condition of the stock noted, we made a forced march over to Gunthersdrift and took a couple of laagers. After this capture Mr. Jones declared he felt like his countrymen in South Africa— much better. Mr. A. Galloway, at Fruitvale, will build one more greenhouse this spring for carnations. Mr. Galloway as a car- nation grower has made a success of his business, and being a young man shows a good example to our young men in the business. J. N. PITTSBURG. The delegates to Buffalo returned Saturday, the 17th. They expressed themselves well pleased with what they saw and the way the Buffalo boys entertained them. Trade with the retailers has been good, funerals and decorations using up large quantities of flowers, and the commission houses are not overloaded with flowers, either. J. B. Ferguson reports business fair and the Cut Flower Company ■are cleaned out daily except on bulb stuff, which is coming in quite heavy now. The latter firm is handling an enor- mous lot of stock; step in any time of day and you will find them busy un- packing and packing up orders. The growers are looking ahead now to Easter; each one anxious to have his crop just right. Harrisii will not be so plentiful this Easter, owing part- ly to diseased bulbs and that there were not so many bought last fall as usual. F. Burki is sending in the finest mignonette he ever had. His Hector is the best scarlet carnation coming in, in quantity, so far, although his Crane and America are doing well. He says Hector gives him twice as many Hower.s to a plant. White Cloud is his best in white and he has two houses of it. Mr. Burki is probably the only one about here who grows the old Edna Craig. It is doing so well with him that he will continue to grow it. but is going to grow Mr. Weber's Genevieve Lord alongside of it to see the difference. Mr. Burki's new asparagus house has been cut out and a new crop coming in for spring. B. L. Elliott, formerly of Elliott & Ulam, is growing mostly carnations in his new houses at Cheswick. He will try some of the new varieties this year. His stock looks well, with pros- pects for a good crop for Easter. W. F. Lauch, Carrick, Pa., is making a grand showing with his large house (40x200) of carnations. Red Jacket is doing fine with him. John Bader, Mt. Troy, whom we all know as a good fellow, is sending in some very nice azaleas and rhododen- drons. As usual he will be ready with a large lot of plants and bulbous flow- ers for Easter. Theo. F. Beckert, Neville Island, is growing lettuce this year. He has only one house of carnations, but is stocking up for cut flowers for next year. Last summer Mr. Beckert put in two large tubular boilers and per- fected his heating apparatus through- out so that he would not be caught with another freeze-out like last win- ter. John L. Wyland. Allison Park. Pa., who attended a carnation meeting this year for the flrst time, has a large house of carnations, which are doing well. He will try the Lawson and other new ones this year. C. Blind is off crop with his carna- tions and roses, since the heavy cut for the holidays, but expects to be in for Easter if not before. G. & J. W. Ludwig are receiving some fine carnations from John Mur- chie, Sharon, Pa. They also receive each day a fine lot of orchids. Our crack bulb-forcer, Chas. Koenig, Bennett. Pa., has for the past two months been sending in some very fine tulips. George Oesterle has resigned his position with Randolph & MeClem- ents. Visitors in town the past week were S. S. Skidel.sky, Philadelphia, and Mr. McHutchison. BAER. MENTOR, O. — Carl Hagonburger will build five new greenhouses this spring, which will give him a total of twelve and 25,000 square feet of glass. MARt'H 1, 1900. The Weekly Florists' Review. 385 TARRYTOWN, N. Y. Tho regular monthly meeting of the Tarrytown Horticultural Society was held on February 22. President Turner |)residcd; thirty-five members present. A letter was read from the secretary of the American Hose Society, asking this society's co-operation at their t'oi'llicoming exhibition. It was also unanimously agreed to send a donation of $15 as a special premium. The following gentlemen were elect- ed to membership: Jas. Clark and Mi- chael Ward, Irvington; Theodore l)in- kle, Peter Smith and Wm. Kearney, Tarrytown, and five new applications were received. Mr. E. W. Neubrand reported that the Dutchess County Horticultural So- ciety's dinner was a complete success. Our representatives thoroughly en- joyed themselves and learned many good lessons. There was quite a show of exhibits. Vice President Stevenson had a most excellent table of plants, including fine specimens of azaleas, cinerarias, prim- ulas, Spirea astilboides. and a fine lot of paper white narcissus, for which he was awarded a certificate of merit. A certificate of merit was also given to P. M. Pierson for a vase of Defiance mignonette. The flower spikes aver- aged 15 inches in length and the foli- age was like monstrous chrysanthe- mum leaves. This was universally ad- mired. Honorable mention was award- ed to L. A. Martin for a vase of vio- lets (Princess of Wales), also to John Boshard for a vase of Marie Louise. The executive committee reported upon the schedule for the next chrys- anthemum show. It was ordered to be printed and preliminary copies put in circulation right away. Mr. L. A. Martin read a paper on vegetable growing. Mr. Martin dealt with his subject in a masterly manner. He gave some good advice regarding soil, situation and manuring, also a complete calendar of operations for the vegetable garden. Quite a lively dis- cussion followed and many good points were gleaned. Dreer's improved Lima bean is to replace King of the Garden, and no more round peas will be grown. The following syllabus was an- nounced: March — Chrysanthemums, by Jas. T. Scott. April — Indoor Roses, by A. A. Taaffe. May— Small Fruits, by Thos. Cock- burn. June — Outdoor Roses, by Wm. Tur- ner. JAS. T. SCOTT, Reporting Secy- GRAND RAPIDS, MICH. Cold waves running the temperature below zero every night, tempered with bright, sometimes sunshiny days, not unfavorable to plant growth, is what we are getting accustomed to. It is very trying on the coal bin, but we are in hopes of a let up soon. Business continues first class, the call for fune- ral flowers has kept up very persist- ently, and shipping is taxing tho abil- ity of the local growers to fill orders. While all flowers except violets are scarce, white carnations and white and pink roses are the shortest in supply. A better supply of Beauties may be looked for if this bright weather con- tinues. Brides, Maids and Meteors bring ?1.50, selected blooms ?2 per doz. Carnations, 35 to 50 cents per doz.; Irenes and Mary Wood, 75 cents per doz.; violets, 15 to 20 cents, and very plentiful. Lilies are in small supply and considerable complaint about mixed bulbs being sent for llarrisli; such as Speciosum and rubrum! One florist has a small bench filled with lilies, not Harrisii, and the disease seems to be worse this year than usual. What food for thought and discus- sion is being evolved from the argu- ments advanced by the various con- testants in the Cincinnati and Chicago contest on the number of points to which Enquirer is entitled! Each issue is eagerly awaited and when It has ar- rived is quickly scanned to see if there is anything new from friend Rudd or brother Bock. Opinion here seems about evenly divided between Cincin- nati and Chicago methods. Recent harbingers of spring were J. E. Killen and B. Eschner, the latter representing M. Rice & Co., Philadel- phia. Both report business good. G. F. CRABB. CHICAGO. The Market. The shipping trade has held up re- markably well clear to the beginning of the Lenten season. So far the sup- ply of good grades of roses has not been in excess of the demand and prices on shipping stock have held steady at $6 to $10 per 100. In carna- tions the call seems to have shifted markedly to white, but all good stock moves readily. On ordinaries the price is $1.50 to $2, and on fancies, $3 to $5. Of violets there has been quite a surplus, the thermometer having been below the freezing point. On Tuesday dealers were hopeful of a rise in tem- perature and said that one pleasant day would clean up the accumulation. Wednesday, however, ushered in a heavy fall of snow, accompanied by wind, and the violets are still "wast- ing their sweetness." Bulbous stock is moving fairly well, but at low figures. Shipping tulips are quoted at $3 to $4, but under grade stuff and job lots are cleaned up at $1.50 to $2, or even lower rates. ■Variour Items.

There was a match game between teams composed of wholesalers and re- tailers, and the ladies were there to see the fun, and the ladies did some fancy rolling, too. Among the ladies present were Mesdames P. J. Haus- wirth, ('. Balluff, E. F. Wlnterson and C. W. McKellar, and Misses Kreitling and Ludlow. Tlie wholesalers had the best end of it in the match games but they were hotly contested and it was nearly Thursday morning before the last game was completed. Following are the scores: WHOLiESALERS.

Scott has been appointed superintendent of floricul- ture of the Pan-American Exposition, to be held in Buffalo next year. With Mr. Scott in charge we are as- sured that the department will not fail to be what it should be — a credit to the profession and a live factor in demonstrating to the world the re- markable progress in commercial flori- culture. And should the convention of the S. A. F. be held in Buffalo in 1901. the members will surely find the horticul- tural department at the exposition alone well worth the trip to the an- nual meeting. WATERTOWN, N, Y. The sewers lacked capacity to carry off the immense quantity of water dur- ing the recent heavy thaw and many cellars were flooded in consequence. Among the sufferers was the well known firm of florists, Messrs. Greene & Underbill. On Feb. 13 the water rose above the fire pots in the boilers and extinguished the fires, and though ten men were set to work to pump the water out it was several hours before fires could be started again. This has naturally caused consider- able loss, and coming at the busy plant shipping season has been particularly unpleasant, greatly delaying many shipments. But they have their ship- ping department now pretty well re- organized and will soon be in shape to take care of orders with their usual jiromptness. LOUISIANA. Mr. Harry Papworth, of New Or- leans, sends us a handsomely illus- trated book on Louisiana and its re- sources, and the pictures showing roses and shrubs in bloom in February make one weary of the blizzard raging in Chicago at time of writing. The book is entitled "Louisiana's Invitation," and is issued by the Louisiana State Board of Agriculture and Immigra- tion, Baton Rouge, from which any one contemplating removal to the south can no doubt obtain a copy on application. THE first issue of the Canadian Gardeners' and Florists' Exchange has reached us. The first n\imber con- tains 12 pages, the pages about the size of those of the Ueviow, and they are filled with articles and trade items of special interest to Canadian florists and a goodly number of trade advs. We welcome the youngster and trust it may successfully fill its mission. It is published at London, Ont, ELWOOD, IND.— -Wm. H. Woerner has purchased the property and green- houses of Mrs. M.

The Weekly Florists' Review. 401 THE FLORISTS' MANUAL. After reading Mr. Wm. Scott's Manual, we wish to say tliat we con- sider it without equal as a book of reference for busy florists. GEO. M. KELLOGG. Pleasant Hill, Mo. Mr. Scott's superb work, "The Florists' Manual," was indeed worth waiting for. When compared with the amount of practical information it con- tains, the selling price, $5.00, seems a mere bagatelle. Oakland, Md. H. WEBER & SONS. It is the best book of the kind ever published. There is more in it than in any other book I have ever seen. I am delighted with it. Chicago. JOHN THORPE. The copy of the "Florists' Manual " was duly received. I am very well pleased with same. The more I read it the better satisfied I am with it, and there are one or two articles alone in it that are each worth all you ask for the book, for everything is made so plain and all details are right to the point. I trust you may have a good and ready sale for the same. M. S. WORDEN. North Adams, Mass. The only fault to be found with It is when you get reading it the mid- night oil is liable to run low and you have to go on to gas or reluctantly break off, either going to bed or first taking a look over the houses to see if the temperature tallies with the Manual. GEO. S. OSBORN. Hartford, Conn. We are in receipt of "The Florists' Manual" by Mr. Scott and may say it is the right book for the florist, pub- lished at the right time. It is what we all need. BOBBINK & ATKINS. Rutherford, N. J. Am much pleased with the Manual. It is just what I have been looking for. Something that we can under- stand, and enjoy reading. M. NAUMAN. Etna, Pa. I am very much pleased with the Manual. It is just what we have need- ed for a long time. N. ZWEIFEL. Milwaukee, Wis. It is certainly a neat and handsome book and does you credit. BENJAMIN HAMMOND. Fishkill-on-Hudson, N. Y. It is a work of art and should be in the hands of all live florists. Its use- ful and instructive contents can not fail to be a benefit to all in the trade. C. C. POLLWORTH Co. Milwaukee, Wis. The licjok is wrilicii for Ihi- work- ing gardener, and Mr. Scott's lopiita- tion is so well secured that he will find among his gardening friends a host of genuine admirers. As a writer on practical gardening subjects, he is a recognized authority. • • « Mr. Scott has long been an employer and knows what information young gar- deners, or those with little e.xperipnco, need, and he has his whole subject so perfectly at command that he can give the most desirable and essential information in the clearest language and with satisfactory brevity. The book is a distinct and important gain to the practical garden literature of this country, and it should be in the hands of every gardener, and everyone else engaged or interested in orna- mental horticulture. The price of the book is $5, which seems somewhat high, but for useful information it is worth every cent of it.— Vick's Maga- zine. Am well pleased with the Manual. It is a practical, everyday helper, con- cise and to the point. W. A. KENNEDY. Milwaukee, Wis. Detroit, Mich., January ti, l'.)ijij. - .\lr. Wm. Scott, Buffalo, N. Y. Dear Sir: The Commissioners of Parks and Bou- levards some time since directed that a library be started of such books as deal with subjects pertaining to park work, and to that end, an order has been given for a number of books, among which is your "The Florists- Manual." After reading this book carefully, I am greatly pleased, and wish to con- gratulate you on the practical manner with which you have treated the sub- ject. This book is placed where it will be accessible to all of our greenhouse em- ployes, where this board expects to reap a reward many times the cost of the book. Respectf\illy yours, COMMISSIONERS OF PARKS AND BOULEVARDS, R. J. CORYELL, Gen'I Sup't. I am more than pleased with The Florists' Manual. OTT BROWN. Cape May City, N. J. Manual to hand. Am well satisfied that it is the best work of its kind ever published. JAS. HARTSHORNE. Joliet, 111. Am very much pleased with the book; it is very handy for reference. Macomb, 111. F. E. BONHAM. Unlike so many of our books. It has the very flavor and essence of ac- tual experience. L. H. BAILEY. Ithaca, N. Y. We find the book very useful as a reference in answering the many ques- tions about plants that we receive al- most every day. Philadelphia. JOS. KIFT & SON. 1 am greatly pleased with the Man- ual. C. J. REARDON. Lake Geneva, Wis. Enclosed find $5.00 in payment for the copy of the Florists' Manual. No progressive florist, old or young, can afford to be without the Florists' Man- nual. The old florist needs it, for ref- erence, to aid a defective memory, and the young florist wants it as a guide in this progressive era of the florist's business. J. T. TEMPLE. Davenport, la.

Electricity is still an untcnowii iiuan- tity; no one now living can tell what uses it may yet be put to. The possi- bilities are immeasurable. The great benefits it has rendered to floricul- ture will never be fully appreciated, because we live in an age when people are accustomed to all manner of phe- nomena, and quickly cease to wonder at; anything e.xcept. perhaps, the cu- pidity of fame and fortune according to magnified ideas. Let us consider electricity as an ad- junct to decorative art, or merely as a means of illuminating your place of business. Some of you even today continue to use gas, to the detriment of plants and flowers, and consequent- ly your purse. Any florist with any pretension to either artistic tempera- ment or any degree of ambition has his store illuminated by electricity; but what puzzles us most is the poor taste displayed in the arranging of the lights. Everything seems to be left to the electrician, who, although a good mechanic, is more often a bad artist, and despite the fact that ev- erything about one's store is sup- posed to reflect the judgment or abil- ity of the proprietor. Electricity employed in lighting up a store should not be considered mere- ly from an economic point of view, but as a means of producing and illustrat- ing beauty. The manner of doing this depends much on your own ingenuity, because recent inventions and im- provements place almost ev*ry effect within easy accomplishment. Now supposing you took away those even- ly arranged rows of incande.sceut lamps 'round the framework of your window and inserted, say, six or ten of them, in a large cut glass globe in the center of the top of the window; the effect ig far more beautiful. What- ever pretty effect may be got from frosted electric globes there is abso- lutely none in plain ones, especially when arranged in rows and devoid of reflectors. If you will study your win- dow you will find that more pleasing results will be obtained from shaded lights: the glare of the light is too common to attract; hide it with a shade that will cast the rays on your plant.9 ami flowers. Electric signs outside your window are not only a foolish waste of money and effort, but are an indication that you ape the sporty and vulgar. .\ good name and business need no bra- zen illumination; have all your light artistically arranged inside, for even if your trade be in poor quarters the poorest appreciate the refinement of quietness; people will not patronize you for the quantity of lights you dis- play, but rather tor yourself and your methods. Now, when we consider electricity from a decorative standpoint, we must cut loose from any indifferent feel- ing. We are too well aware of the fact that there are many florists who imag- ine they cannot be taught anything, but most of their work cannot stand analysis: that's where bluffs are boomerangs. We must first remem- ber how diflicult it was and is to decorate where gas ig used; the dread of fire many times prevented the ex- ecution of certain designs and made our work seem incomplete. It is not so with the light of the times; electric- ity not only adds its glory to decora- tive work, but it has encouraged and increased the fashion and forms of floral art by its imparting a confidence of security. We should not be con- tent to rest at that, but convert it in- to being a part of our design. You may hang all the garlands you like among incandescent lights; the effect is glarish and spoiled, unless you take steps to make the whole a symphony. Colored glass is undesirable because the colors and effects are circum- scribed: much more satisfactory re- sults .can be got from shaded lights; the shades can be made of silk, cheese cloth or crepe paper; these can be had in every shade of color; they cost very little and can be used for many affairs. Decorations always appear best under a mildly subdued light, such ag that as is commonly known as Oriental: this is particularly so where a large quantity of greenery is used, but even in the most brilliantly light- ed hall or ballroom soft hued lights are best. There Is no reason why you should iioi take entire charge of the total ef- lc( t In a particular decoration; we have often done so. In rooms where an abundance of vines and plants were used we have covered the lights with green silk shades; if we thought a contrast would emphasize beauty we have put red in some alcove or comer to bo used for a cozy retreat. In rooms where yellow, pink or red prevails there is no reason why the lights should not be the same shade, always remembering that harmony is the greatest producer of pleasure in art as in society. I'lio time will come when electricity will be used instead of the, in most cases, dirty and annoying candles for table decoration. Nay, even now it is often used more satisfactorily in this way; not only can batteries be placed beneath the table, but the power can be obtained from any ordi- nary circuit: careful insulation is all that is necessary: the wires can be hidden Ijeneath rugs. As for a lamp, you can get them in any shape, size or color, and they can be inserted inside many kinds of flowers; only one color is permissible on a table. Alexander McConneli, at 45th street and Fifth avenue. New York City, has had a small electric fountain in one of his windows all this season; it is veiy attractive; six distinct colors are shown: it is conducted by connection to the wires in the store and doesn't cost very much. The possibilities in this line are very great, not only in store and decorative attractions, but they might also be a leading feature in flower show.9. The florist who is ahvays anxious to be ahead will find much to help him in a study of light and shade. It is pos- sible now to have shower effects in "fairy lamps"; they can be made very beautiful where the electrician works in harmony with the florist. Keep the wires, even the lights, away from your plants, for they will not stand a too close proximity: 'tis better for you to use string than wire when working close to electrical wires. There were many thousands of in- candescent lights used in the decora- tions illustrated this week, and though the whole scene was very brilliant, there were places here and there where if clustered shaded colors were used the effect would have been still more beautiful. Ball Decoration. The Arion Society of New York is perhaps the leading German society in the United States. Every year they give a carnival ball in the Madison Square Gardens, New York. The ex- penses amount to about $28,000. The price of admission for ladv and gen- tlemen is $10.00. The affairs are very successful. Hanft Bros, have always had charge of the decorations, and "this year we had some photogi-aphs of them speci- ally taken for this department of the 403 The Weekly Florists' Review* MARCH 8, 1900. Review. These pictures were talten by time exposures and under great dif- ficulties. Tile reason wliy we don't siiow you illustrations of tlie fine de- corations done by New York florists is because the proprieiors of the halls where banquets and festivals occur dread flash lights, and usually other- wise the light is too poor. These pictures show you the interior of the main hall of the Madison Square Gardens; it is the finest exhibition building in the country. It is a very difficult building to decorate, perhaps the second hardest we have in New York: the stretch of roof is enormous and the decorator must creep out on each girder and carry his stuff with him; even the nerviest man in such a case holds his heart in his mouth and carries his life on his finger tips. Imagine yourself there struggling with hands and feet to guard your life and with eyes to create a beautiful scene. These decorations are the highest type of American work in the compo- site class. Of course this is for a masked ball; a hired ballet and sev- eral floats are used, and all is ar- ranged to produce the finest spectacu- lar effects. The details of the affair may be faulty, but the whole creates a very beautiful picture. In the cen- ter of the floor they erected a white and gold pagoda; this was also a blaze of electric lights. (We ourselves would prefer an electric fountain there.) A promenade walk about 20 feet wide is partitioned off all around the hall; this is done by a 4-foot hedge of hemlock; here and there, es- pecially at the base oi the statuettes shown, are grouped cinerarias, azaleas and various kinds of bulb stock with- out particular attention as to color harmony, the idea being to give the impression of what are known as "Dutch Garden" effects. The ceiling is almost covered with colored bunting and heavy garlands of hemlock roping, to which are attached strings of electric lights and paper paeony flowers. Some very good deco- rative work can be seen on the sides of the building. Several thousand yards of red, white, green and yellow cheese cloth is gracefully looped and outlined, and framed with garland or greenery. At one spot near the center of the ceiling is suspended an S-foot ball of green; in this are heaps of favors and fifty live doves; when the festival is at full swing this ball is opened by means of a cord and the contents scat- ter over the floor. In these decorations aie used ten thousand yards of hemlock roping, 10,- 000 pSper flowers, 250 bundles of hem- lock branches, 20 cases of wild smilax, several hundred long needle pines, a great quantity of spangled banner- ettes and bunting. The job was an herculean one, and Fred Hanft, who had charge of it, deserves great credit for the manner in which it was done. It affords us much pleasure to be able to show it to our readers, no matter what part of the world they may live in. It shows the kind of work no American need be ashamed of, and that the others may get points from The Carnation Cup. The ( onditions under which the American Carnation Societ,'' offered its silver cup for carnation design at Buf- falo are vastly amusing. Some ge- niu.-; twisted lots of spaghetti strings around that little cup. Now if it could only he awarded for some "new use" for carnations, why didn't they gather up a company of chefs to make con- coctions of carnation soup, carnation stew, carnation pie, a timbal, ragout or compote of carnation? A "new" use for tarnations, forsooth; what is badly wanted is a new and sensible el- ement on that schedule as well as in many more, IVER.A. CYCLAMEN-SWEET ALYSSUM. Please tell us what culture is the best for cyclamens, and how to keep them in the summer. Where can we get the long-stemmed al,vssum? B. B. & S. The culture of this most important plant, the cyclamen, has been often written up in the columns of the trade journals. Presuming that you now have small plants in 2 or 2V4-inch pots that were sown in October or November, the principal points to ob- serve will be that they be given plenty of light. If the house is not a mod- ern one, then put the cyclamen on a shelf near the glass. Shift into 3 or 4-inch as soon as well rooted in the smaller pots. Put a little drainage in bottom of pot, because the cyclamen needs plenty of watering and syring- ing. Never let them get killing dry, and to avoid this a shade during the brightest hour.s of the day is most de- sirable, but a permanent shade that would be on them at all hours would be very hurtful to them. The finest cyclamen are now given the hotued treatment during .lune, July, August and September, and even with care part of May and October. The bottom heat of the hotbed is most beneficial, but at no time should be violent, as from a newly made bed. Some growers keep the top of pot about even with the top edge of frame, and by a slight framework of wooil keep the sash (either glass or slats or cloth shading) a few inches above the plants. By this method there is a current of air continually over and among the plants. This has a ten- dency to make compact plants with a moderate amount of foliage and very lloriferous. Other growers, among them the large market growers, sink the plants lower, so that the sash when on the frame in the ordinary way will be but a few inches above the plants. The sash can be tilted at one end, or on very warm days at both back and front. By this latter plaff the largest and finest plants are produced. The ammonia arising from the fermenting material of the hotbed has undoubted- ly the result of producing fine leaf growth, but by no means to the detri- ment of the quality or nurabsr of flow- ers. Briefly, cyclamen should never be stunted for want of pot room up to September, and never suffer from ex- treme dryness. A good turfy loam, with a third of well rotted leaf mould does well for the soil. Few plants are troubled more with greenfly and more easily hurt. A regular fumigation is most essential. This is not so easy to do when in a frame, but then a weekly syringing with a solution of either the "Nikoteen" or "Rose Leaf" extract will keep the aphis down. The sweet alyssum subscriber in- quires about is the double form of the well known little plant and is most useful for edges of flower beds or boxes. Look in the trade journals and you will see that several people ad- vertise rooted cuttings. It roots eas- ily and quickly. It is continually want- ing to fiower, so keep the flowers pinched off or yon won't get growth. WM. SCOTT. RATS DESTROYING CARNATION FLOWERS. A distressed correspondent wishes to know how to prevent this; and as we have been annoyed as he is, and have apparently solved the difficulty, I hasten to give our brethren the ben- efit of our experience. The rats destroyed several hundred flowers for us in a very few nights; and although we had box traps, spring traps, steel traps, and wire traps set in various ways and places, the loss kept increasing, until Mus rattus be- came a wholesale customer, and the only collections we were able to make on his account were of the shattered remains of the flowers every morning. We put strychnine in the center of lit- tle blocks of fresh beef, which were laid on the benches, convenient for rat lunches, but although these were moved about by them, I think we suc- ceeded in poisoning but one rat. The same poison was mixed with cornmeal in little pot saucers, and temptingly displayed, but they would not partake: and poisons are always dangerous things to have about, even if you do succeed in killing some of the vermin they are meant for. The situation grew worse, until a.s a last resort we got a ferret and turned it loose in a large potting shed con- nected with our carnation houses. The first night we had it about six flowers were eaten, but since then (now over two weeks) we have seen no evidence of either rats or mice, and mice are often very destructive about the seed pans. The ferret so far has not injured an.v MARCH 8. 1000.

W. T. BELL. Franklin, Pa., March 5, 1900. BULB GROWING IN THE SOUTH. Why not grow the million dollars' worth of bulbs that we import each year into this country. We have in this country every kind of climate and soil that is to be found anywhere on earth, and is there any reason why we cannot produce in this country all of the bulbs and plants that we import? A protective tariff of 25 per cent ought to be sufficient to encourage this in- fant industry, if it needs protection. For my part I can see no reason wliy bulb growing cannot become the most profitable industry in this country. I have been studying the possibili- ties of bulb growing for some time and believe there is nothing that will pay as well. Last season on one-third of an acre I planted $00 worth of gla- diolus bulbs and bulblets and pro- duced a crop worth $4e perfectly willing to allow Buffalo to judge a seedling of his, if he was fortunate enough to have one. and tell him whether or not it was good enough for a certificate, without the humbuggery of scoring it to eighty-seven and three-quarter points, as some pretend to be able to do. Sam has had to do with scoring and scor- ers before Buffalo ever split fractions in its application, and has seen so many absurdities result from it that he has always opposed the plan, but he has no expectation that Buffalo and others will drop it for that reason. From Buffalo's remarks one might infer that Sam would scarcely know a carnation when he saw one, but this is wrong, for there are tew florists in the country who have watched the development of the carnation more closely than he has, or with more interest. He was growing Day- break—the most profitable com- mercial carnation for years if not to date — for one or two seasons before Buffalo had it; tests the best new ones as they appear, already has some of the best newest ones of this year, and is intrusted with kinds that will not be distributed for some time to come, that the grower may have his 410 The Weekly Florists' Review^ MARCH S, 1900. opinion of their merits; and he is, I assure Buffalo, fully awake. He is a fossilist but not a fossil. Buffalo must not assume that be- cause a man does not dwell on the classic banks of Conjockety Creek or does not enthuse over the antics of Steve Brody's Undines — but that won't do; Undine was a water nymph. W. T. BELL. Franklin, Pa., March 3, 1900. Seed Sowing. It will soon be time to sow the main crop of all our so-called hardy an- nuals, such as asters, zinnias. Phlox Drummondii, Ten-week stocks, French and African marigold, calendula, dian- thus (under which name we know the different China pinks). Cobea should also now be sown. In sowing Cobea there is a right and wrong end to press in the soil, but it is not easy to explain which is the proper end to insert in the soil, and you will do very well by squeezing each seed in edgeways. Don't cover with soil; by pressing the seed into the soft soil it needs no covering, and if kept in a night temperature of 60 degrees and moderately moist it will all germinate, for the seed we get nowadays is mostly all good. The annuals mentioned above are best sown in fiats, or if smaller quan- tities, in pans. In flats 3 inches deep (they are the same that we use for forcing bulbs) we put IVz inches of the sittings of our potting soil, and then one inch of .sifted loam and leaf mould, about equal parts. When the surface has been pressed down slight- ly firm and with even surface, give them a good soaking, and when the water has soaked clear away sow the seed and then cover with the same compost finely and evenly, and then the slightest watering will suffice. They will hardly need a heavy water- ing before the seed is up. Florists know generally how much of a covering of soil is needed. A bal- sam seed would push up through sev- eral inches of soil, but in our opera- tions just soil enough to cover the seed out of sight is sufficient. About 50 degrees at night will suit all these seeds, and light is of no importance till they are up, when a full exposure is of the greatest importance. If you don't have these little seedlings well in the light they will immediately get drawn up and spindling, and with seedlings it is most essential that they should start right. Seeds sown the middle of this month will be in good shape to transplant into other flats and be placed in a cold-frame or very mild hotbed by the middle of April; utiliz- ing space economically is the great effort in greenhouse management, and it would never do to occupy much bench room with these cheap annuals. Ivy Geraniums. There should be no time lost now with the propagating bench. Ivy gera- niums can be put in now, and if grown on in good, rich soil, will make very acceptable plants for baskets and vases. These beautiful geraniums are often inclined to flower early and pro- fusely; if you want them to grow, which you certainly do, you should keep all buds picked off. The ivy gera- nium requires entirely different treat- ment from the zonal type. If not droopers they are trailers, and for our vase work we have to grow them on shelves, where the growths can hang down and receive fresh air; but when tied up with a couple of stakes they make a fine plant for Decoration Day and answer the desired purpose just as well as a zonal, for of the thousands of plants in pots taken to the ceme- teries, there is but a small proportion expected to last more than a few days. Where a permanent summer effect is wanted, the ivy geraniums should not be planted, for they quickly go out of flower. But, again, where the roots are confined, as in a vase, they con- tinue to bloom quite satisfactorily. Propagating. No part of your sand should be va- cant a day now, for spring will soon be here, and the conditions for propa- gating many things is then less favor- able, Acalypha, .salvia, achyranthes, coleus, ageratum. feverfew and all the ordinary bedding plants should be multiplied as fast as possible. And don't forget lobelia and the double- fiowered sweet alyssum. two of the most useful plants for veranda boxes. Vincas, Etc. The vinca. both variegated and the faintly striped, which I believe is Har- risoni, that were propagated in Octo- ber, should now be soon shifted into 3 or 3'/^-inch pots. They will soon make shoots from the bottom, and if given the edge of a bed, where they can hang over, will make splendid plants by middle of May, and they are so convenient to use, as they are in small pots. I might add that the soil for these should be of the richest, as it is growth you want. The Abutilon vexillarium should also be treated the same way, but a 3-in-h pot is always large enough for them, and never let them get rooted into any bed, or they make a rank growth, but suffer badly when used. WM. SCOTT. BALTIMORE. Club Exhibition. The carnation show of the Garden- ers' Club, February 26th, was success- ful, so far as heavy attendance of vis- itors ■went, as seems usual here with free shows, though the exhibits were far behind those of a year ago. But for the handsome collection of cine- rarias and cyclamens brought in by Mr. B. Holden, gardener to Mrs. Rob- ert Garrett, and the well grown group of foliage plants staged by Halliday Bros., there would have been a pau- city of material. The aecorative pieces of S. Feast & Sons, which gave dis- tinction and graceful effect to the ex- hibition of 18ii!). were not replaced. Nor were the carnations up to the high water mark of the preceding year, and there were, indeed ( although several exhibitors had each some good ones), no such notably well bloomed collections. Mr. John Cook's white seedling from Mrs. Bradt was immense in size, handsome in form, well built up, and of good color and foliage. It was rated superior to any white yet shown, though H. Weber & Son's unnamed seedling was a close and promising second.. This firm had also, of course, a vase of their Genevieve Lord, up- right of growth, bright of color, and with perfect calyx. Isaac H. Moss showed Mrs. Bradt and White Cloud, well done, and Halliday Bros, a col- lection of standard sorts and good ex- amples of their Mack Raymond, red, introduced to the public this season. The gem of the show was a vase of .Tubilee staged by Lenr Bros., which left nothing to be demanded in form, stem, brilliance of hue and fine finish. Fredk. A. Bauer entered good Day- breaks, and H. F. Michel], of Phila- delphia, the new candidate for favor, Mrs. Bertram Lippincott. Some were disappointed that The Marquis and Olympia were not seen on the tables. The varieties originated by Charles M. Wagner were exhibited by Halliday Bros; one of these is a cerise pink, 3Vj! to 3% inches; another a maroon with 3-inch flower, perfect calyx, and good, strong grower; and a striped pink or clear white, with stiff stem and good calyx. .lohn Crook's new rose "Baltimore," MARCH S, 1900.

At the club's meeting in the even- ing, Mr. Wm. B. Sands and Mr. .James Pentland withdrew from the club. Mr. Sands was the instigator, if not the originator, of the club, and had been its treasurer since its start. He had been the secretary, almost during its entire existence, of the Maryland Horticultural Society. This was main- ly a plant society, composed of ama- teurs, especially men of mean.s with a fondness for plants and llowers, and of commercial growers. Some atten- tion was paid to fruits and vegetables, but at its shows the collections at private places were mainly drawn upon to make noteworthy public dis- plays. Mr. Sands saw that in a so- ciety of this sort there was no place for the practical men, and after some discussion with the managers he re- ceived authority to call, and as- sembled a lueeting of the working gar- deners and florists, eiuiiloyers and em- ployes, to provide for regular meel- ings_ip discuss topics of interest to the trade. The idea proved a suc- cess, and from this initiative began the Gardeners' Club. Mr. Sands, who had long been editor of the American P^armer, an agricul- tural paper, was for years the only amateur member, but later became en- gaged commercially in the production of cut flowers. He continues to de- scribe his place as "amateurish," but it is said to be now quite consider- able in extent and to give products of average quality. He has as its manager Mr. John L. Hogarth, an in- telligent and competent young cul- tivator, formerly kno-wn to the trade here. Mr. Pentland, as the readers of The Review know, is one of the oldest and most respected florists here, and was quite recently president of the club. It is understood these resignations resulted from dissatisfaction with a recent admission to the club. Differ- ing fi-om most organizations, where two or three black balls reject, here a majority must vote against a can- didate to defeat him. Some preparatory steps were taken to prepare for the carnation conven- tion. Notes.' Plans have been drawn for and work will soon begin on three new green- houses, each lixioe feet, at St. Mary's Industrial School. This is a reforma- tory institution for bo>s, under church control, but largely supported by the city. There is alread.v quite a large amount of glass there under which is grown bedding stuff and cut flowers, which find their way to our market. The houses, and all the necessary labor, which is furnished by the in- mates of the school, are leased to a florist, and the competition of products grown by this class of labor is antago- nized strongly by the trade. It is a development of the ever recurring op- position to the employment of the In- mates of penal institutions and re- formatories in trades competing with other workmen. Indeed, the training of the class of boys to the gardener's business is much objurgated. Up to this time (March 3) the de- mand for flowers continues quite equal to the supply, and the promise is that whilst large social functions will be less numerous, the milder and smaller festivities of Lent will continue to re- quire pretty much all the output of flowers which this market affords. RIX. LOWELL, MASS. Whatever else the "Spindle" city may lack in, it has made noteworthy strides in so far as modern, up-to-date floral establishments are concerned. I doubt if any other city of its size can 412 The Weekly Florists' Review* MARCH S, 1900. boast of as many flower stores within a radius of four square blocks. How- ever, it is quality, rather than quan- tity, that 1 wish to dwell upon briefly. A surprise in store for the writer was a brand new flower store at No. 8 Merrimack Square, in the very heart of the business center. Messrs. Patten & Roberts are the presiding geniuses of this new establishment, having moved thither some six months ago from 293 Centre street. As they never do things by halves, it goes without saying that their new establishment is all that could be desired. An immense prospects brighter and more encourag- ing. S. PHILADELPHIA.

Next in order, I am informed, will be a delivery wagon, one to be fully in touch with the progressive spirit of the age as well as with the store and their span of spirited horses. J. J. McManmon reports a decided improvement all along the line. Both his roses and carnations do well.

Notes. W. L. Schaffer, of 223 North Six- teenth street, has been very busy the past week, having considerable funeral work to execute. One would wonder how he gets all this trade, being one of those side-street florists, but he gets there just the same, Mr. S. is a man of push and ambition, which undoubt- edly accounts for his success. A visit to .Jno. \V. Young's establish- ment on Frank and Wayne street.-; would be time well spent, there being an exceptionally fine lot of roses to be seen. The following varieties are rep- resented: Two houses of Bridesmaid, two center tables, of Beauties, and four side tables of Brides. There is no question as to the quality of this stock. There are 5,000 Beauty cuttings in the sand bed, which look very promising. Half a house is devoted to Nephrolepis Bostoniensis, principally in 6 and 7- incli pots: the other half is filled up with Pandanus Veitchii, ranging from 3 to 8-inch pots, which are also very fine. He also grows lily of the valley, which he does very fine. Mr. Y. has added a vault to his establishment for keeping cur flowers. Mr. Ed. Seidewitz, of Annapolis, Md., favored us with a visit the past week. R. BOSTON. The inevitable has struck us. We have "Lent" our customers to the pre- vailing season to a large extent. But funeral work is in good demand and we ghoulishly live upon the proceeds. Any line of goods that cannot possibly be used upon funeral occasions feels the situation most keenly, but as high colored material is not very plentiful, things are not so bad after all, and best grades of pink and white roses seem to have fewer friends than usual. Still, a few of the best are said to be bringing as high as $2.50 per dozen, while many of the poorest change hands on a basis of $2 per 100. Red roses are getting rather overgrown in quantity, but are good in quality, with prices wavering a little. Beauties from $1 to $6. Meteors from 25 cents to $2 per dozen, and Jacks, Brunners and Liberties as yet too scarce to obtain a rating. Carnations have been almost scarce, white ones really so. Prices? Oh, from 11/2 to 3 cents on standard kinds and more on fancies if it could be ob- tained. Bulb growers are feeling good on ac- count of late results. Prices not high, but everything moving on fair profit. Easter lilies cropping out in all direc- tions and selling quite well at $2 per dozen. Violets in full supply and sell- ing all the way from 20 to 75 cents per lOO. Naturally our trade exhibit is the most formidable subject for an item. but as I had neither time nor talent, I delegated that subject to an accom- modating friend, and hereby refer to his column in this issue. [At time of going to press nothing had been received from the accommo- datin.g friend. — Ed.] There has been a grand changing around of the working force among the city stores lately, but it excited but little comment until news was out that E. M. Wood's head salesman, Mal- loy, had surrendered his position. This causes talk.

Boer generals as to the best methods of "kopjering" General Roberts on the veldt, or in the donga, but this is sup- posed to be the first case on record where a disagreement might exist be- tween employer and employe in the florist business. But it looks that way. While Mr. James Quinn, one of our best known, best liked and most re- spected florists, was in the Park street market Monday morning, word came to him of the sudden death of his wife, who haa been ill a short time. While hut few of us had the pleasure of her acquaintance, she had the assured reputation of a most estimable woman in every way. Her rare business quali- ties also made her of much assistance in Mr. Quinn's extensive retail trade in Brookline, Much sympathy is expressed for the family in its affliction. n. T. CARNATION THE MARQUIS, We present herewith an engraving from a recent photograph of a house of this new pink carnation at the establishment of the originator, Mr. L. E. Marquisee, Syracuse, N. Y. It is certainly a very interesting picture, and the large number of buds indicates that the variety must be a very free producer. That the blooms rank with the best there is no doubt in the minds of those who have seen the splendid flowers exhibited. We also present an engraving of a vase of blooms from a recent photo- graph. ST. LOUIS. The Market- The cut flower market shows no sign of decline and trade has been running just about as usual, with business good and prices regular. Flowers are none too plentiful, except violets. Carna- tions are not increasing in quantity, but roses are coming iu more freely. Prices the past week were about the same as week before. Today (Mon- day) good roses bring from $5 to ?S per 100; for extra grades, |10 is being asked. Perles and Woottons, $4 to $5. Last week Kuehn received a batch of the old Papa Gontier, very finely grown and high in color, which puz- zled some of the growers. On being asked if they could name it, some said it resembles the old Bennett; others wondered if it could be the new Lib- erty. It was hard to make them be- lieve it was the old Gontier, as none has been seen in this market since '94. Beauties are still scarce and first-class stock is out of the question; $3 to $6 per dozen is asked for those coming in. Carnations hold up remarkably well and are bringing good prices; $2 is asked for the common ones and $3 and $4 for fancy stuff, and not half enough comes in to supply the demand. Vio- lets are selling cheaply; Californias, $2 per 1,000, 30 cents per 100; small single and southern stock, 10 cents per 100, and hard to sell at that. Bulb stock is in fair demand, owing to scar- city of other stock. Harrisii still holds at $12.50 and callas at $10; daffs, Dutch hyacinth, paper whites and Romans bring 2 and 3 cents; freesias, the best, sell at $2; tulips are very fine at $4: smilax still holds at $12.50, but sells slowly, with plenty of it on hand. Various Notes. The weather the past week has been very bad. Tuesday night a great rain, sleet and snow storm set in, causing much damage to fruit and shade trees, especially in the city parks and Shaw's Garden. The damage can hardly be estimated and will take years of labor to replace. Wm. Schray, who was reported sick, is well again, and John Young, who was also on the sick list, is now 0. K.. and reports that hereafter he will be on hand every Monday. Riessen Floral Co.", on Broadway, report an excellent business since the first of the year, with plenty of orders ahead even during Lent. The West End florists, Weber, Wal- bart. Mrs. Ayers. Miss Newman and Miss Ostertag, say business has kept up remarkably well since the first of the year. More interest will have to be shown in our bowling club. This is the first time since we organized, in May, 1893, that the boys have failed to bowl'regu-. larly. It used to be twelve regulars 414 The Weekly Florists' Review* MARCH S. 1900. every Monday night: now its JJnly five. No otlier florists' bowling club hag such a record. We never failed to bowl once a week during the past sev- en years, but rolled at only three con- ventions. At home we came iu third (good enough for greenhorns) ; at Omaha we won the cup and the cham- pionship, and at Detroit came in sec- ond, a record to be proud of. We must regain at New York this summer what we lost in Detroit. A full attendance is requested, as only twenty - three more bowling nights are left for prac- tice. Bowling. The bowling club on Monday night had a very slim attendance. Only three dyed-in-the-wool cranks braved the rain storm and rolled five games. The scores are as follows: 12 3 4 5 Tot. Av. C. A.

So look out for us. The February series of twenty games ended with Charlie Kuehn as our champion, with an average of 152 in twenty games, and Fred C. Weber as high single score man, with 211.

At the meeting of the Florists' Club last Friday evening there was a good attendance and four new members were added to the roll. A few changes were made in the by-laws and the sec- retary instructed to have them printed and mail a copy to each member. It was decided to invite the S. A. F. to hold its annual convention in this city in 1901. A committee consisting of G. L. Grant, W. Kreitling and W. N. Rudd was appointed to arrange for transportation to the convention at New York next August. Mr. C. J. Stromback, of T..incoln Park, announced that he expected to display at the next meeting flowers from the Washington grown bulbs that had been sent him for trial. They were doing better than he had antici- pated and thought the members would flnd them very interesting. It was de- cided to make "Bulbs" the subject for the next meeting and to invite short papers on the subject from a number of well known growers, it being be- lieved that a very useful and instruc- tive discussion would result. The Market. Business has kept up remarkably well since Lent began, and though de- mand has fallen off somewhat, the dark weather has cut the supply in proportion, and the relation between the two is about the same as last week, with no appreciable change in prices. The call for white stock is noticeably strong and whenever there is a slight surplus it is generally in color. Good bulbous flowers are moving fairly well, but there are large quantities of in- ferior tulips and daffoails on the mar- ket that are cleaned up at "any old price." Violets go slowly and will no doubt continue to hang until bright weather arrives. The Grand Rapids train due here at 7:15 a. m. Tuesday was report- ed stuck In a snow bank and hadn't arrived at a late hour in the afternoon. We hear of considerable snow on the glass at some large establishments, which has materially darkened the houses. And as a result a good many split calyces on carnations. Varieties that never split before have done so during recent weather conditions. Dark houses and a close atmosphere seems to make the best of them split. The season so far has been a very satisfactory one to the majority of the growers and dealers. Daring the twen- ty days preceding Lent the business done was enormous and far in excess of previous seasons, and the average returns on consignments were better than ever before at the season. There were no real gluts at any time and un- der - grade stuff had a much better chance than usual. Various Items. Wednesday morning of last week fire destroyed a shed and burned away the ends of three greenhouses at the establishment of Brant & Noe, at For- est Glen. The fire was quickly con- trolled and the loss was comparatively light. The ends of the houses were soon tightly closed with boards and builders' paper, and there was no trou- ble in maintaining desired temperature in the houses, as the plant is equipped with both steam and hot water heat- ing apparatus. The loss on buildings was covered by insurance. There was some damage (lone to the plants in two houses, and, of course, this was not covered. The cause of the blaze is not known. It did not start from the heat- ing system. Mr. G. H. Pieser is back at his post at Kcnnicott Bros. Co., and deals in money now instead of justice. Mr. Wm. Falconer, superintendent of Schenley Park, Pittsburg, spent last Thursday in the city. He was on his way home from his trip to California. McKellar & Winterson are display- ing an unusually fine lot of tuberose and caladium bulbs, Mr. C. L. Washburn is suffering from an attack of grippe, and will leave Friday of this week for a two weeks' stay at West Baden, Ind. E. H. Hunt is receiving some re- markably fine Brides and Maids. NEW YORK. Business? Well, dear reader, if we were to take heed of everyone's defini- tion or description of business just at present, we'd write a polyglot of con- tradictions. People seldom know when they are well off, or perhaps it's a growing pain 'mong florists to com- plain. There is one thing, however, indisputable — that the florist of today has less cause to grumble than those of other years. If the trade papers would sometime publish all they hear or know, what a condition affairs would be in: it's more difficult to for- get things than to write them down. Our New York letters may be short in comparison to the importance and size of our city, but really, Mr. Editor, we have so many small things here, and so much foolishness, that it's hard to select things the same as they do in Buffalo, Hoboken, St. Louis and San Francisco; the only diversion we have is an occasional bowling match. We have no "Immortals" or home-like club houses, same as our suburbs. Boston and Philadelphia, and what does it matter if a Greek opens a flower stand on the corner of such a street: who cares? Yes, to be sure we will have some- thing here in the way of a rose show this month, and our friend, the Flor- ists' Exchange, become..; alarmed be- cause the New York Gardeners' So- ciety wishes to have a carnation show at the same time. This city is big enough for a dozen shows: it's only the men and the circumstances that are at fault. In this present case the officers of the Rose Society not only wanted the carnation show, but also promised to give some prizes for car- nations: all this was afterwards taken back. Now, notwithsUmding this ac- tion of the Rose Society, no one wants to interfere with any possible success. The executive committee of the Gar- deners' Society is urging all gardeners to exhibit at this rose show, and in or- der to make it worth many men's while to walk five miles across moun- tains and travel hundreds of miles on railroads they have arranged that the quarterly meeting and social gathering and carnation show of the (Jardeners' Society will be held on the 27th of March. There is no thought of opposi- tion; there can be none in this case: it's a matter of economy, so don't get alarmed. The Gardeners' Society have never received much encouragement from our contemporary: it can afford to treat the ambitions of its special agents differently. Now, a word to growers. Most of MARCH ^, I" The Weekly Florists* Review. 415 you have worked hard to produce flne stock for Easter; you liave succeeded; you depend on it tor coal bills, etc,, etc., etc.; then be careful whom you sell it to, and at what price. The man who has good plants need not Rive them away, nor yet sell them to those who never intend to pay for them; be a little careful, protect yourself as well as the honest retailer; look out for the •'mushroom florist." It's a funny thing gets into one's ear betimes. We have free lectures hero in the public schools and they are under the jurisdiction of the Board of Education. Well, last week we at- tended one and the learned professor showed a picture of Strelitzia Reginae and told his audience that it was a "Tiger lily." Now. what we want to know from School Commissioners Schultheis and Rath, who have the greater honor to be florists in these parts, if this is the kind of education to give New York? The New York bowlers have not yet recovered from the effects of their re- cent victory at Flatbush. The latest sayings are that the "Juniors" will be sent to tackle the Flatbushere next.

J. I. D. SAN FRANQSCO. Market Conditions. Business and prices much the same as last week. The weather continues fine and crops of all kinds look well so far. The chrysanthemum and violet growers are busy just now making new plantations, and the weather at pres- ent suits such work.

Various Notes. J. J. Williams, of Oakland, is now head gardener at the Masonic Home. Decoto, Cal. The grounds contain 200 acres and has its own water supply. Mr. J. Nelson, lately with the Moun- tain View Cemetery Association, will go into partnership with H. Moree, Blair's Nursery, Oakland, Cal, Mr. 'I'lioiuas Slieppard, of Piedmont, Oakland, is bringing in some very good outside Homer roses. He says they sell. Well, perhaps they do; but I am inclined to think he Ijringis Homer than he can sell. Mr. N. Symnacopolus, our Broadway floiist, has fitted up a snug little room at the back end of liis store, and for many days his brother florists have been wondering what it all meant. Some declared he was going to bunk in the store; others said he had a safe in it. So, to settle the dispute, 1 called in one evening this week and found Mr. S. making a terrible noise on a twenty-dollar piano. Mr. S. is said to be a crank on music. I believe it. it was the crankiest music I ever heard. What a pity the piano don't have a crank. However, the instrument will be useful when he finds the cash regis- ter empty; he can ring up a few notes on the piano. E. Gill, Oakland. Cal., reports busi- ness good with him this year. Many large orders for trees and roses keep him very busy. Lacazettes & Co., on Fourteenth street. Oakland, Cal., report their flret month in business as very satisfactory and beyond their expectations. J. N. FLATBUSH, N. Y. The unexpected has again happened; the New York beat the Flatbush team on their own alleys. The last of the series of games in the bowling tour- nament between the New York, Flat- bush and North Hudson florists' bowl- ing teams took place on the Flatbush alleys March 1st, Over fifty were in attendance, and every possible con- trivance was adopted to encourage the bowlers. So much was this so that many became nervous and no amount of logic appeared to be able to upset the stubborn headpins. The excitement and overanxiety of the occasion seemed to have played havoc with many of the best bowlers. These gentlemen will of course know better next time. Determination to win seemed to have spurred the New Yorks; the Flatbushers became thor- oughly demoralized and even allowed the Jerseyites to beat them by two pins. Those who had the good fortune to be present will remember it for many a day. Whatever there may have been attached to the games played else- where, the affair at Flatbush was cer- tainly the most enjoyable of all. The generosity of the "boys" here is known tar and near, and when the whole crowd was taken to the Pros- pect Park Hotel to dinner, even the victors felt somewhat ashamed of their victory. We wish continental writers could have been at this social gathering, if only to hear Germans singing "The Marseillaise," and the French reciprocating by giving the "Watch on the Rhine." Charlc: /.I opened the short talks, and In-, uith Captains Traend- ly, Dailledouze and Brown, hoped they would see many more such gatherings. Buttertield sang "Sally in Our Alley," Stewart sang "Annie Laurie," Schmutz made a stump speech in Gaelic, Kay- nor was too full for utterance, Donlan spouted for "The Press," Hafner got hysterical from laughing, and so on. All thoroughly enjoyed themselves, and gave three cheers for the Flatbush Club. Following are the scores: NEW YORK. 1". Traendly 124 128 1'. (J'Mara 142 136 1.. llal'ner 123 166 .1.

'Twill do anybody good to visit Wil- liam Anderson at Mr. Constable's place here, because there's always something good in the way of flowers to be seen there. Mr. Anderson's an- tirrhinums are very grand; he has saved the seed for years and the strain is distinct and perfect. Some flne wis- terias will be in bloom for Easter, and there is an immense variety of flowers for cutting, such as Canterbury Bells, sweet peas, myosotis, ranunculus, flow- ering shrubs and bulbous stock. Mr. Anderson's house of grafted Brides- maid and Bride roses are very flne; he had poor results from those on own roots. His house of carnations is in splendid condition, Thorwald Jensen has been having great luck with his violets. His ex- tensive establishment is well worth visiting. He is at present sending on an average 26,000 Lady Campbell vio- lets to the New York market every week and could send many more. The violet grower who is fast becoming gray headed pondering over the mys- teries of successful violet culture would do well to see these houses; they are a sight; there are no theories employed, just common sense, syste- matically dispensed, Mrs. Jensen is an expert on bunch- 416 1 'he Weekly Florists' Review* MARCH 8, 1900. ing; we never saw better or quicker work (lone; the flowers are counted and roughly tied in fifties by the pick- er; afterwards rebunched and single violet leaves are used for foliage. We wonder who has the record for quick gathering and bunching; here they calculate that one person can do over 1,500 a day. The single violet, Princess of Wales, growing here, is very fine; the flowers are as large as small pansies and the stems a foot along. The California looks insignificant alongside of them. It is by far the best of all single vio- lets. Several hundred thousand Freesias are growing here; Mr. Jensen has been cutting freesia flowers since Dec. 16th. Daybreak is the only carnation grown and they have given much sat- isfaction. Immense quantities of lilac are being forced, and violet plants for Easter will be in good condition. D. DENVER, COLO. One notable feature in February was the lecture given to residents of Den- ver by Landscape Gardener Samuel Parsons, Jr., of New York. A number of prominent people and professionals were present. The subject was "Amer- ican Landscape Gardening and Beau- tifying of Homes," and was well han- dled by Mr. Parsons to the satisfaction of all, except the professionals, who expected to hear of something more extraordinary in that line. The west- ern nurserymen should send him a vote of thanks for aiding them in cre- ating a demand for shrubs and low trees; the florist and tree trimmer, however, was not benefited thereby. It is not my object to criticise the lecturer, but climatic conditions often change a mans notions, and the tastes, surroundings and experiences are so varied that it is impossible to suit everybody by imitating nature, especially when it is at the cost of comfort and convenience of the people With whom we have to deal. The Swiss. German and French styles of landscape gardening all have their beauties, and the last named will surpass any for convenience and com- fort, especially in smaller parks in cities, and it is more suitable to the surrounding architecture. It is very true many Colorado people trim their trees too much; there are reasons for it. which Mr. Parsons has not had time to study or experience. One of these reasons why Colorado people trim their trees is the high winds, and to leave the trees in their natural shape would often mean disas- ter within a few years. Another rea- son, which Mr. Parsons has not consid- ered, is that all trees which, when transplanted, were improperly pruned or cut squarely off, have not their nat- ural .shape, and after a time look more or less dilapidated, and they will not stand a heavy snow, while the leaves are on, without splitting to pieces. The crippling of trees is not done by tree trimmers, but by tree butchers. By imitating nature around the city residences one may make a very fine picture, and it has long been advo- cated, but whether it will fill the pock- ets of the florists is another question, and it is a good thing that different people have different tastes, which was clearly shown by the smiles of the audience when Mr. Parsons preferred the Cottonwood, which has long been condemned here, to the maple, which is the most beloved and cleanest shade tree in the west. ' A continuous row of trees on each side of a walk does not make a good landscape, but the people at large find more comfort walking in the shade than by looking at a fine landscape in the broiling hot sun, and it looks very queer, but we cannot help sticking to the English style, which has nearly crowded the French out of existence. Of course, the florist will stick to the flower beds every time, and will let the next generation imitate nature as they please. F. A. HAENSELM.A.N. WASHINGTON. Since the beginning of Lent business has taken a tumble. Dinners and luncheons of all kinds have stopped, but, owing to scarcity of good stock, prices keep up to the standard, with the exception of bulbous stock and vio- lets. Prices: La France, 10 to 121^ cents; Gates and Meteors, S to 10 cents; Maids and Brides, 6 to S cents; Perles, 6 cents; tulips, 1 to 4 cents; jonquils, 2 to 3 cents; Romans, 1 cent; valley. 4 cents; carnations, IVi to 3 cents; smi- lax, 20 cents; asparagus, 50 to 75 cents. One of the most brilliant occasions of the season was the marriage of the daughter of the British embassador, which took place last week. The hand- some decorations at St. John's Church were executed by J. L. Loose, and those at the residence were arranged by Shine & Davidson. Our ex-president, W. F. Gude, was presented on Valentine eve with a handsome valentine in the shape of a bouncing baby boy, which makes No. 3. Keep it up, Will. Holland has been well represented during the past week. Wm. Crawford, of the Grant Place Flower Store, reports business good. F. H. KRAMER. CINDERS FOR DRAINAGE. Subscriber asks for information about cinders for drainage for rose bed. I have a solid middle rose bed. In June, 1898, I removed part of the fill- ing and put in 6 or 8 inches of coke cinders or ashes and gave them a thor- ough watering. I then put on 6 inches of rose soil and planted the roses the first of July; strong, thrifty plants from 3-inch pots. They started right on growing fine, and on August 1st were staked with galvanized wire stakes that were pushed through the cinders into the earth below. About two weeks after staking two or three plants wilted and in a day or so dried up. This went on for a few- days and it began to look desperate, when I saw that the soil on the sur- face around each dead plant was cov- ered with rust. The sulphur in the coke cinders was destroying the stakes and this sulphur action on the stakes in turn was killing the roses. I at once removed all the stakes and replanted the bed where plants were missing, and the trouble stopped as suddenly as it began. I did not have quite enough coke cinders and filled in about 15 feet with cinders from the furnace without screening, in which the stakes were left. The line was very distinct where the coke and furnace cinders joined. I traced some of the roots into the cinders and found them in a healthy condition. So I feel sure that the coal sulphur acted on the galvanized stakes and generated the poison that killed the plants. I have used the coke cin- ders in rose pots for drainage without injury to the plants. Connellsville, Pa. P. R. DE MUTH. NOTES BY THE WAY. BUFFALO, N. Y.— Wm. Scott is making a big display of carnations from Corfu. Red .lacket and White Cloud are immense; so are Marie Lou- ise violets. ROCHESTER, N. Y.— A fine bed of myosotis may be seen at J. B. Keller's Sons. A very useful fiower; it takes up very little space, being usually grown along the edge of the bench where a path is least used. Chatter- ton Warburton. of Fall River, grows a large quantity in this manner. HORNELLSVILLE, li, Y.— W. A. Wettlin has a healthy young stock for spring sales. Carnations have not flowered so good as usual, while the demand has been ahead of any pre- vious season. LANCASTER, N. Y.— Those of the convention crowd who visited the plant of W. J. Palmer & Son were well rewarded for making the trip. The sight of Daybreak was one to be long remembered. Although the day's pick- ing had been done and the Buffalo store was supplied with the best blooms, even the casual observer could not fail to be impressed with the enor- mous crops that these plants must yield. MONTREAL, QUE.— S. S. Bain was the flrst Canadian to invest in the new ageratum Stella Gurney. Mr. Bain sees a bright future for this ac- quisition. M. SYRACUSE, N.

Too bad, but an- other opportunity, George, will pre- sent itself in February, 1901, in Balti- more, "Maryland, My Maryland." Don't miss that! There is still another opportunity — ou Saturday, the 10th inst, at Cincin- nati. Come ye all to the Queen City; it will be worth your while! The two new houses, one 130x30 and the other one 100x12, built during the late fall, are stocked with as fine a lot of carnations as I beheld during my recent travels. The coming spring will see many other improvements about Miller's establishment. Besides building an additional carnation house of respectable size. Mr. Miller intends to extend six of his houses about ten feet each; he will also equip an office, which will adjoin a fine conservatory. Mr. Miller reports trade good all along the line, his retail, wholesale and mailing business having surpassed his most sanguine expectations. S. "WASHINGTON. At the Bromley-Pauncefote wedding the bride's bouquet was a large cluster of valley, with shower of white or- chids, tied with sash of chiffon lace new open worked fancy satin ribbon. The four bridesmaids carried violet bunches tied with the same effects in violet color. The church chancel was overehad- owed by immense arecas eighteen feet high, their base being banked with white rhododendrons. The railing was entirely hidden by growing lilacs. On each side of the aisle stood a row of standard lilacs six feet high; these were covered with garland sashes and huge rosettes. The above were supplied by J. Louis Loose. D. BRANCHPORT, N. J.— H. HuHck, formerly of Eatontovvn, has moved his establishment and business to the property he recently purchased here, and will build a range of houses this summer.

If you are looking for extra fine flowering plants for Easter go and visit School Commissioner Anton Schultheis at College Point. His houses of pot roses are simply grand; not mere carelessly grown stock, but splendidly trained specimens. We never saw better Crimson, White. Yel- low and Pink Ramblers; they are in all designs, and besides these there are houses of Moss roses, Baroness Roth- schild, Brunners and several other fine sorts in nice size boxes and in good condition. Several beautiful new eri- cas are being introduced to the Amer- ican public from here, and there are immense quantities of specimen plants of Ericas Cavendishii, cupressiana, translucens and many other sorts in prime shape for Easter. A house of about 5.000 Japanese longifiorum cannot be surpassed. Then there are azaleas, lilacs and a host of other varieties of .suitable flow- ering stock. Several very promising seedling carnations are to be seen here; one of a deep pink color meas- ured over SV2 inches; another fine il- luminated pink after the form of Law- son is highly scented and a good keeper. Mr. Schultheis besides being a Greater New York school commis- sioner occupies many positions of trust at College Point, but his success as a plant grower and his extensive place speaks best. D. BEGONIA CALEDONIA. A pure white flowered variety of Begonia Gloire de Lorraine is offered by Mr. John Forbes, Hawick, Scotland. It is said to be identical with Gloire de J^rrraine in every respect except color of the flower. Mr. Forbes also offers a dwarf form of Gloire de Lorraine under the name "Nana compacta." Both of these are sports from the type, and as we hear of other sports from this begonia we may soon have quite a number of vari- eties of this important new begonia. AMERICAN ROSE SOCIETY. The annua! meeting of the above so- ciety will be held in the Fifth Avenue Hotel, New York, at 2 p. m., March 2S. OflScers for 1901 will be elected and other important business will be trans- acted.

MARCH 8, 1900. MILWAUKEE. The maiket remained firm until the beginning of Lent, when prices weak- ened a trifle, but as stock is not over- plentiful the effect was not as notice- able as it might have been had there been plenty of stock. In roses good Maids and Brides find ready sale and the supply of medium grade Beauties is short of demand. The supply of carnations is equal to demand, but most varieties are in- clined to be weak in the stem. Violets are plentiful and only extra choice stock finds a ready market. Sweet peas have made their appearance. A look among the growers indicates a scarcity of bulbous stock for Easter. Notes. A. Klokner had the decoration for the Batchelors' ball. About twenty- five large ca,ses of wild smilax were used, this being intermingled with in- candescent lights encased in pink tis- sue paper to represent pink paeonies. The effect was pleasing.

By its having been shown at the flower shows and clubs since early in September (an assurance that it is not a good late carnation but an all season variety.) In color, size, fragrance and stem it is just what the "storemen" want. In habit, constitution and freedom of bloom It is iust what the grower wants. It produces more flowers to the square loot than any ottier known variety, and is never out of crop from September to July.

We are having the woi-.st attack of bad weather of any we have had this wintei-. It has snowed and blowed and hailed and rained by turns, then froze up solid, with a gale a-blowing. all of which has had a bad effect on trade, which is a little quiet this week. How- evei-, it has allowed the crop of roses to catch up with the demand, while carnations are still scarce and need a few days more in which to prepai'e for a renewed demand soon as this bliz- zard-like weather is over. The favorite white for this fall's l)laiUing is White Cloud, of whiirh some very line blooms are being cut. Flora Hill ranks next. Lately consid- erable improvement has been noticed in the sliffnes.s of her stem. The out- look for a fine Eiister crop of this car- nation is good. Evelina and White Daybreak will continue to be planted hugely, while .John Young will be giv- en another chance to show his opening ability. G. F. CRABB. COLUMBUS, OHIO. The fourteenth annual police ball, which was held on l'>hruary 22 at the Goodale Street Auditorium, was a de- cided success. The hall was tastefully and artistically d(K'orated by Mr. Charles, especial attention being paid to the stage, which was draped in the national colors and decorated with cut flowers, palms and fern.s. In the cen- ter of tile stage were large pictures of the mayor, the director and the chief of police. The exhibition drill was very attrac- tive, given by 32 members of the po- lice department, all of whom wore bouquets of red and white carnations, and the mayor, chief, director and otheL^fficers were decorated with Marechal Niel roses, which were also furnished by Mr. Charles. Mr. Nienhearte, formerly with S. F. Stephens, has left for California, where he expects to stai't in business. Miss Hester A. Getz has brought in- junction pi-oceedings against Cross & Co.. from whom she leased a part of the stoi-e at 9 North High street. The defendants have declined to deliver the lease and threaten to oust her. It is said that another florist is in- terested with the defendant. G. A HARD LIFE. A New Jersey florist gives us a vei-y interesting report as to the way his time is occupied. He writes: "I am working from 6 in the morning until 6 at night, and after tea I am chasing snails, cut worms, moths and mice, and looking after the fires until 12 o'clock. The florist's life is not as smooth as it looks." PRICE OF GLASS. The pi'esent discount on gi'eenhouse glass is 85 and 5 per cent from the price list. We understand, though, that glass manufactui'ers are at the present time well supplied with or- ders for sizes genei-ally used on green- houses and that the dealei's find it dif- ficult to place orders for same with the manufacturers. CONNELLSVILLE. PA.— P. R. De Muth has ordered material for a new carnation house, 24x100, to be built during the coming summer. It will be a short span to the south house and will be glazed with 10x24 glass. 432 The Weekly Florists' Review* MARCH 8, 1900. CATALOGUES RECEIVED. The Cottage Gardens, Queens. N.

The "In time of peace pi'ei):ue for war," which the florist knows hest. is in the dull season prepare tor the busy one. So it is that now. when our wealthy customers have taken refuge under flie protection of Lent, giving us an opportunity to dust the shelves and straighten things, we of course give much thought to the question of Easter. And make your mind easy. it's going to he a very good Easter for plants — yes, and flowers, too. We think it will even he a record breaker. There is one great danger before us; it is the matter of price. We have all complained bitterly about the high prices demanded for cut flowers at Christmas; we may have much more cause to complain of the high prices of Easter plants. We seem to go to extremes whenever a chance occurs; that "grow rich quick" disease is very prevalent and destructive among flor- ists. To be sure, the season is short and we are justified in making all we can out of it, but care should be given to two things — make your plants ap- pear to be worth what you charge for them, and above all satisfy and keep your particular trade. You will need to be diplomatic and over careful this year because the mar- ket has spread and some grades of stock are over plentiful. The lateness of the season and the many chances of it being warm weather will probably cause many to make large sidewalk displays. We even expect many to open florist stores just for the sake of getting all the plants they can from growers, selling them for what they promised to pay for them, defrauding the grower and ruining your dearly paid for established business. Isn't it funny how easily some poor growers can be buncoed? No matter how bad a man's reputation may be, all it seems necessary for him to do Is to hire a store or basement next door to you, put up a glaring "Easter Plant" sign. go out to your own grower and get all the stock he wants for nothing. That tas been done many, many times and we have seen nothing to indicate that matters will be different this year. How "very quick we are to note and de- nounce the frauds in other i)rofessions; how dull and blind to those practiced in our own. The grower should be careful to pro- tect his good customer the same as you have to do yours, and the man who fails to do so should be made to feel the error of his way. Business requires many great exertions; it is the main long battle of life, and whenever trick- ery or deceptive methods are used one is justified in using drastic strategy. Though the present age may be pol- ished in all its mannerisms and deal- ings, yet it is behind the times to bother selecting words when denounc- ing frauds. The flower business is a most pecu- liar and tender one — yes, erratic in most of its whims. Often will you see that they who know the least about it succeed best; this would appear as putting a premium on ignorance, but it is not. Flowers appeal to everyone, no matter where they are, and if a per- son takes a fancy to buy any particu- lar flower or plant, they care not whether the salesman is a college pro- fessor or a common laborer. There is the great danger — the drawback to our trade. Easter plants attract the pub- lic, and it doesn't sometimes matter if the "mushroom florist's" stock is not quite so good as yours, your best cus- tomer is liable to compare prices. Easter is a great time for shopping. People go 'round to see what is most beautiful or novel, or they are inter- ested in prices. Therefore prepare for every emergency, give all the space you can for display, and arrange your plants to show to best advantage; but we will talk of this point later. What is most important for you now is to know what there is good for Easter. Bermuda lilies have been a bad failure this year. Growers in the vicinity of New York have lost fifty pe'r cent of the bulbs they got from Bermuda. Lilium Harrisli in particu- lar suffered, and now it is not a ques- tion of lilies being scarce (because a great many more were being grown than usual), so much as it is that of quality. Most of the lilies to be of- fered are Japanese longiflorum; they will not average many flowers and are short in stem; so much is this so that lilies are bringing a higlur pri( c. The growers are asking from 12 to 15 cents for (lowers and you will be fortunate it yon get good clean stock for less. You can sell them as cheap as you want to but the prevailing retiiil prices will be as usual — 20 to 25 cents — and you'll not be able to get any more un- less for made-up work. It appears to us that it will not only be desirable but necessary to "make up" more lilies than usual this year, because you will not bo able to sell them or give satisfaction with them otherwise. It is not wise to ofl'er a customer a lily with four or five flow- ers on it when that same person wants or will take one with twelve or eighteen. It is very important to have your salespeople know this. Have (piite a few of your lilies made up out at the grower's place, and be willing to either send your man out there to do it, or pay for having it done; it will be cheaper for you to do so. Put three plants in a pot, a tall one and two small ones, some all small, others all tall— have a variety. Then try some with six or even more in a pot or cheap tub painted white, green, or blue. Of course it all de- pends on your class of trade, but most folks are willing to pay $2. .50 for a nice pot or tub of lilies— many of them want them at from $5 to $20. Roses in pots and boxes are going to sell well this time providing they are good and reasonable. There are some good moss roses and hybrid per- petuals in nice sized boxes, five to six plants in a box; they cost you from $2 to $2.50, and when they are trimmed up you ought to get from $5 to $10 for them. Crimson Ramblers are to be had in any shape, some trained in crosses six feet high; these cost you $10, and if you put a broad sash of white ribbon with crimson lettered Easter greeting on it around the arms. you ought to get $20 to $25 for them. They are specially suited for churches. These roses are procurable in basket, fan. pillar, crowns and other designs, and they vary in prices. The trouble with Ramblers is that when grown close together the growth and bloom are all at the top; thus many of these set designs are deficient in quantity of bloom; in any case they appeal to most people from a novelty rather than a beauty standpoint. Good Ram- blers in natural shapes can be bought for from $2 to $6. and if you care to make up some large tubs of them, take care to have them furnished well down to the tub. Hydrangeas are coming back in fa- vor again, but we think only in the larger sizes. Some fine plants are be- ing grown; the growers are asking too much for them in comparison to other stock. The country will be swamped with small sized Azalea indica, and most of you will get stuck on them if you don't use lots of them in basket work. You will be able to buy them at your own sweet price if you hold off for a while; this you can do be- cause they are not a scarce article. 440 The Weekly Florists' Review^ MARCH 15, 1900. English ( they are just as much Irish, because every bog in Ireland is covered with 'em) primroses will sell very well either in pans or baskets. There's more money in them than in most other things; get some of them — you may have to pay from 10 to 15 cents for them, but you'll get It back treble. Ericas ought to sell well, though many of the varieties don't show up enough for the price you must pay, and the people ericas appeal to from a sentimental point of view are few. There are one or two varieties out this year which are very beautiful, such as Cavendishii, translucens and cupressi- ana; a few of them will enrich your display and ought to sell. Calceolarias will be somewhat of a novelty this year, and they are going to make a big hit if properly handled. The colors are magnificent and they are a change from what the people have been drugged with. This is too big a subject to deal with in one week, and we'll continue it next. Only just one word of caution: be care- ful what you buy. don't begrudge a grower his price for anything new or good, for you can get a big price for them. Where you are apt to lose mon- ey is on trashy, small stock. Scour your district for what's best in it and be generous yet sensible. IVERA. Easter Crops. There will be nothing so interesting to most of the growers, and the plant men particularly, as the state of your Easter crop. Easter Is a little later than the average date and we must re- member that the fifteen days of April are worth as a forcing time nearly double the same period in March. We are sure even with the most unfavora- ble spring to get some fine, warm weather. You do not get your batches of plants in at the right time without a good deal of thought and labor. iVIove, move, move, is the order of the day, but with most all plants it is not safe or wise to take a plant out of a night temperature of, say, 60 degrees and put it in one of 45 degrees, unless the flowers are open or about to open. It is an unnatural and chilling treatment and hard on the plants. It is better to let them open up if you find them too early, and then put them in some shaded house or shed where they will keep in good order many days. It is not alone the ni^ht temperature that will control the plants, but rather the sun, which is increasing daily in power and has the greatest effect on opening up the flower.s. So you should have at least one house where the glass is shaded either by board or cloth, or it you cannot do better, whitewash the glass, and this house will do for many thing.s. bring some on fast enough and for storing others that are fully out. Keep it shady and air on all possible occasions, and it will keep a lily or azalea for at least two weeks after being well out. Boards are much to be preferred to white- wash, because you need the house aft- erwards and do not need the shade. At this date, March 13, we find the early azaleas, among them the popular Mme. Van der Cruyssen and the beau- tiful Prof. Walters, just showing color. They will come along all right in this cool house while Empress de Brazil and later flowering kinds may need a bright house and a nigni temperature of 60 degrees. By keeping the Cytlsus racemosus very cool it is only just showing flower and will be all right in the cool shaded house. The lilies are of first importance, both on account of the quantity we grow and their popularity. Those showing buds distinctly can with a strong heat be got out. but I would prefer to see the buds at this date two inches long. There is not likely to be an oversupply. The Harrisii with us is fairly healthy, but the Bermuda longiflorum which looked so promising up to New Year's have taken a terrible tumble and it is consoling to know that "we are not the only one." They have not gone off here and there a plant, but hundreds in a batch. They look as if they had had a bath of scald- ing water. Japan longiflorum are free of dis- ease and will be largely depended on as the late Easter has given them a good chance to he in. Easter is not the only time you see a lily, so those witlio\it hope put aside and let them come on gradually. The Crimson Ramblers will want your brightest and warmest house. Make sure of their being in time. They will keep a long time should they be too early. Ours were nursery stock, a year ago cut down and potted and grown all summer under glass, where they made good canes and were ripened off in the fall. By this method you do not get quite so large a plant as those lifted from the field last fall, but they are easier to force and are covered with flowers and just now need plenty of liquid as the pots are necessarily one mass of roots. Old plants that were forced last year and did not flower and again forced this year I don't believe in. The Acacia armata that is not at all satisfactory the first winter after im- porting makes if cut down and grown in pots over summer a beautiful plant. They are just showing a few of their globular yellow flowers and will come along nicely in our "cold storage." You cannot do anything with the spiraea (astilbe) but give it room, an abundance of water and keep the to- bacco smoke away. But as you are possibly now using aphis punk no care is needed. It is too cl.^ap a plant to put much labor on, but if you can set each spiraea in an 8-inch saucer and keep the saucers supplied with weak liquid manure you will have a spiraea as it should be grown. Marie Legraye. the white lilac, and the Azalea mollis both want about four weeks under glass. Last year the mollis sold well decorated with crepe and ribbon to match the beautiful or- ange tints. I might add here that any of these deciduous shrubs that you are forcing are greatly benefited by a frequent syringing till the flowers show color. We are forcing a few" dozen plants of the ,Iapan maples for decorations; they will be an acquisition. Last year I gave you some rather misleading advice about violets in pots. I said lift thein two or three weeks before Easter. I was wrong, at least we found it so. Unless you have violets most particularly well flowered don't bother with them at all, but it you have, as we expect to have, plants that will go into a 5-inch pot, with 25 to 35 flowers, then mark them three weeks before Easter, .so that they «re not picked, but don't lift them till a day or so before they are wanted for sale; they will be jusl as satisfactory to your customers and far more at- tractive than those you attempted to establish. The same with the pansies. Mark a lot of your best plants two weeks before Easter, but don't lift them for pans till the last moment. I cannot say much to you about bulbous stuff just now. except to re- mind you that the 15th of .\pril is very near their natural flowering time and but a few days will be needed under glass, so don't make the mistake of bringing them in too early. Ten to fourteen days will be plenty for hya- cinths and daffodils, fifteen or sixteen days for sin.gle tulips, and perhaps twenty days for Murillo and other double tuli))s. But watch the weath- er; one bright, warm day will do more to open a tulip than a week of dark weather with fire heat alone, A fancy paper man called today for MARCH 15, 1900.

Mo., kindly sent us last week a few specimens of the piece-root grafted roses mentioned in his notes on page 378 of our March 1st issue. We had a photograph taken, from which the accompanying engraving is made, but from the appearance of the roots in the photo the photographer must have allowed them to dry out a few hours before attending to business. Mr. Kellogg writes that of the 2.500 piece-root grafts only seven failed to grow. BULBS IN THE SOUTH. I have read with interest a commu- nication from Bro. Read in The Flor- ists' Review of March 8 on bulb grow- ing. I agree wiLjj himjhat our bulbs can and should be grown somewhere ill this great and glorious country. I have had .some experience in that line. In Bladin County, N. C, I have raised from bulblets as fine hyacinths as ever came from Holland. Gladi- olus, narcissus and tuberoses were grown to perfection and multiplied with a rapidity equaling nut grass. In this sunny land 1 have grown all the standard bulbs, with good and poor results. Our soil is sand and should be suited for hyacinth culture, but the winters are too warm. The bulbs come up in November and are kept in a growing state nearl.v all win- ter. This might not be against them were it not for the cold spells that visit us every few weeks during the winter; then it is hot enough to seek the bath- ing resorts between these cold waves. This kind of weather is not good for any kind of "traps." Taper white narcissu.s have done well with me and some of the monster bulbs that I have grown are "out of sight." Gladiolus do fairly well. When left over winter in the ground they be- gin to grow in November to December, and arc often cut down by the .lanu- ary freezes, which we have not failed to got these past ten years. They should be dug when the tops die down and stored away in dry sand until February. Cannas grow and make fine roots if planted in a moist situation or watered freely. Lilacs of all kinds do well the first year and then dwindle away. This 1 cannot understand, as they should do well here with the right kind of treat- ment. Freesias will grow as well here as in California. My bulbs grow verj' large and could be grown in large quanti- ties very cheaply. C. S. TAIT. Brunswick, Ga. COMMERCIAL AND CHEMICAL FERTILIZERS. By Jostru Ciih.M..\. [Ke;\d before the Kentucky Society of Florists, Lo"isvi:ie. March 7th,] The use of commercial and chemical fertilizers by florists is still in more or less of an experimental stage. Some of our best and largest growers of roses and carnations use these fertilizers to some extent. Few of us here are using them as they should be used. We seem to be afraid of them, and so we should be, for there have been many failures due. not to their use but to their abuse, because we have not made a proper trial of them. If one man killed a house full of roses by giving them too much bone meal, and another killed his roses by giving them a mulching of four to six inches of fresh cow manure, and a third destroyed the buds and foliage by giving too much chicken manure, must we therefore think that bone meal and cow and chicken manure are not good? If these persons had given less manure at a time and oftener they would have succeeded Instead of mak- ing a failure. We are all liable to make mistakes. Only a few weeks ago a good grower of roses and carnations and who uses liquid manure every week told me how he had made a donkey of himself by giving his roses a good dose of liquid manure immediately after they had been rested, pruned and tied down. It nearly killed them and he said: "I ought to have known better than to feed my roses when thsy had no stom- ach and could not digest the food." When such men fail no wonder we do. Be careful never to make your liquid manure too strong. Give it often but weak and you will be successful. In order that we may properly un- derstand the use and value of commer- cial and chemical fertilizers we ought to know our soil better — what it is composed of and what it needs. Too often we hear florists say. my soil is not good, my soil is this, my soil is 442 The Weekly Rorists' Review* MARCH 15, 1900. that, and blame everything on poor Mother Earth — for the earth is our mother, she being the mother of all or- ganized life, and when our course is run we have to go home to her and rest in her bosom. We will see later on that soil or earth does not have so much effect on plant growth as we think. It depends upon what we intelligent workers give it or restore to it whether we get a good crop and plenty of good, large blooms. 1 will therefore try to explain to you what soil is. what it contains and what it needs. I will also mention the principal chemical fertilizers used by florists, how to use them and the benefits we can gain by their use. Chemists tell us that water and the air around us make up from 88 to 90 per cent, of our crops. Soil, they tell us, does but little more than help the plants to stand upright, while water and air, obeying chemical laws, build up their structure. But what is soil? It is nothing but disintegrated and de- composed rock mingled with vegetable waste and dead animal life. From the granite class of rock we get the min- eral feldspar, mica, hornblende and quartz, and from these the silicon, pot- ash, iron, soda, alumina, lime and manganese. The sedimentary rocks, of which the various slates are the types, have the particles in finer form, hence the soils formed from these, such as clays, have their mineral constitutents in finer condition. But the finest sub- division of all in which the mineral matter of the soil exists is that sup- plied by dead plants and animals, into whose structure the minerals entered in so fine a state as to be held in solu- tion by water. If we give some plant ashes to the chemist he will tell us that these ashes contain silicon, iron, potassium, cal- cium, phosphorus, sodium; sulphur, aluminium, chlorine, magnesium, etc. These are the elements that all plants take from the soil, and the soil itself obtained them from the solid rock. The order in creation then is that the rocks supply the minerals, plants feed on these minerals, animals feed on these plants, and omnivorous man, lord of all, feeds on these animals and plants. Most of the dozen elements that en- ter into the composition of plants are found in sufficient quantity in almost all soils, leaving but three — potash, ni- trogen and phosphoric acid — as the three essentials that we must supply to the soil if we want a good crop. All plant food is manure, and all manure is plant food, whether it is in the form of artificial manure or the natural product of the barnyard. Where do the fertilizing elements of barnyard ma- nure come from? From the food the animal eats. What are the manufac- tured fertilizers made of? From the animal itself — blood, bone, flesh, etc. What does barnyard manure con- tain? A common one-horse load will contain 802 lbs. of water, 5V4 lbs. nitrogen, 118 lbs. silica and sand, fi'/i lbs. alumina, 3'^ lbs. lime, 3% lbs. magnesia, 4% lbs. potash, 1 lb. soda, 1 lb. sulphuric acid, 1 lb. chlorine. As a rule the soil has all it needs of these except nitrogen, potash and phosphoric acid, in all about 15 lbs. There is, however, a value in barnyard manure in addition to its fertilizing properties, and that is humus. Hu- mus is all dead vegetable and animal matter in process of decay. Humus holds a great store of carbonic acid, which decomposes the rninerals in the soil, setting free potash and phosphoric acid. It is a great argument for the use of barnyard manure in preference to commercial fertilizers that it forms hu- mus, but if we turn under grass or clo- ver sod or any green crop we get the same result, and these we can raise with the help of commercial fertilizers. As we have seen, the three elements we need most as fertilizers are potash, nitrogen and phosphoric acid. What is potash? Potash is the element potas- sium combined with oxygen (potassium oxide). The name potash was given it because it was made in Iron pots from ashes. Potash is a most caustic, biting alkali, dissolving and decomposing all organic structures it comes in contact with. In the vegetable kingdom it is held by plants in the process of growth in a soluble state combined with ox- alic, tartaric, silicic and sulphuric acids. Potash is not only one of the three essentuils for all plant growth, but it is also found in the fruits, vege- tables and grains, such as the grape, the apple, the potato, etc. The principal sources from which we obtain potash are the nitrate of potash from India, the sulphates, muriates, etc.. from Germany, and in this coun- try from wood ashes, burnt cotton seed liulls, etc. 5ome soils are already over rich in potash. Soils \n which beech, maple, oalf^ walnut and elm trees grow with thrift, also tansy and purslane, are pretty sure to be naturally rich in potash in food condition. Nitrogen is the second essential ele- ment in plant growth. The air which surrounds us is made up of four-fifths nitrogen and one-fifth oxygen gas, but this nitrogen is not available as plant food. When nitrogen is combined with hydrogen — 18 parts hydrogen to 82 parts of nitrogen — we have ammonia, one of the most common forms in which nitrogen is fed to our plants. The other most important source of nitrogen is nitric acid, which is a com- bination of nitrogen and oxygen, and forms nitrates which are a combina- tion of the nitric acid with soda, pot- ash and other bases, and form the ni- trate of soda, nitrate of potash, etc. The principal sources from which we obtain nitrogen are Peruvian guano, sulphate of ammonia, nitrate of soda, tankage, dried blood, cotton seed waste, hoof and horn shavings, etc. The third substance is phosphoric acid. It is composed of the element phosphorus combined with oxygen gas. The four great sources of phosphoric acid are the mineral apatite, the phos- phatic guanos, the 1,'ones of all animals and the mineral phosphate rocks. I do not recommend the use of chem- ical fertilizers alone, but used with care in connection with barnyard ma- nure we will get very good results. Most all of our large growers use one or more kinds of chemical fertilizers. The principal kinds of chemical ferti- lizers that may be used by florists are: For nitrogen: Sulphate of ammonia, nitrate of soda, dried blood. For phosphoric acid: Guano, bone meal and bone black, phosphate rock, etc. For potash: Muriate of potash, sul- phate of potash, wood ashes, etc. There are several reasons why flor- ists should use more chemical fertili- zers. We have seen that a one-horse load of barnyard manure contains only 15 pounds of real active fertilizer i hu- mus not considered). One bag of phos- phates or a few pounds of chemicals will do as much good, if not more, as a two-horse load of manure. Consider the saving of labor and time over put- ting into the greenhouse a two-horse load of manure. Barnyard manure takes several months to decay, for plants cannot feed upon it until it is rotted. Chemical fertilizers, being mostly used in solution and at once available as plant food, are taken up by the plants in a few hours, or at least in a few days. Chemical fertilizers, containing no seeds of weeds or grass, keep our soil free from weeds, resulting in less work and cleaner houses, with no scratching of face or hands in pulling weeds from our rose beds. Chemical fertilizers contain no germs of animal life and do not fill our greenhouses with worms and flies of all kinds, which are hatched out of manure by the heat and often bring death to the plants. How to Use Chemicals. Sulphate of ammonia, nitrate of soda, muriate and sulphate of potash should be used in solution, only about a 3-inch potful to 50 gallons of water. Use only one of these at a time, an(i only every two weeks. One week use one kind of chemical fertilizer, next week use a liquid of cow. chicken or sheep manure. Never make any liquid manure very strong. Better use it of- tener but weak. Nitrate of soda and sulphate of am- monia are two great stimulating fer- tilizers. They induce rapid growth, but will not make plants produce large blooms. If only one kind of fertilizer can be used, let it be bone meal and phosphates. We have used with suc- cess the fertilizer called blood, bone and potash in o\ir potting soil for gera- niums, roses and chrysanthemums. We use about a (j-incli pot to a wheelbar- row of sifted soil, mixing it well with the soil. When fertilizers such as bone meal or phosphates and blood, bone and pot- ash, are tised, either on the bench or in the potting soil, the soil should be kept damp, as these fertilizers do not do much good in dry soil. Therefore it is best to use these in spring, sum- mer and fall rather than in the dark MARCH 16, 1000. The Weekly Florists' Review. 443 Greenhouse establishment of Mr. Wm. Mann, Louisville, Ky. days when plants are apt to suffer \ from overwatering. Where any ot the nitrates or sulphates are used in so- lution the soil should not he kept too damp, as these chemicals are easily washed out of the soil. They are therefore good (or winter use. Warning. If anyone should, alter hearing my remarks on the use and benefits of commercial and chemical fertilizers, feel disposed to try some, let him be cautious. While with care there is not the least danger, I desire, to forcibly impress upon you the fact that you are dealing with concentrated forces and that an overstrong solution will work serious damage. Make your solutions weak, feeding often rather than heav- ily. Use some kind of liquid every week when the plants are in condition to assimilate the food, changing about from one kind to another. Should you wish to try some new fertilizer, experiment on only a few plants. If you kill these you can stand the loss. Avoid wetting the foliage of your plants when using chemicals, but if it cannot he entirely avoided syringe with water immediately afterwards so as to wash off the leaves. Never use chemicals on small plants or seedlings. Wait until these have absorbed nearly all the food of the soil in the pot. Then give them a very weak liciuid. After lifting plants from the field do not give them liquid manure until they have growth well started again. Never give liquid manure to plants that have been rested or cut down un- til they have made roots to take up the nourishment you give them. Do not give your plants liquid ma- nure when the soil is very dry. Bet- ter first give them a little pure water. If the soil is dry the plants will ab- sorb the liquid manure so greedily that it will often injure them if not kill them outright. Manufactured Fertilizers. Following are some of the ready pre- pared fertilizers: Bowker's chemical fertilizers, Mapes' chemical fertilizers. Acme phosphates. All these and many more can be obtained from our whole- sale seed stores. The following preparation recom- mended by Professor Wagner has been used by him witfi good results on car- nations. Phosphate of ammonia 2 oz. Nitrate of soda l';.'i oz. Nitrate of potash 1% oz. Sulphate of ammonia 1 % oz. Water 50 gallons. A light application each week is as strong as it should he given to the plants. Notes. In the fall before housing your car- nations mi.x some good pure bone meal with the soil. It may be mixed with the soil before being put in the benches or the bone meal may be spread over the soil after it is in the bench and then worked in. As soon as the plants have started to grow give them liquid manure each week. One week use a solution of a 3 or 4-inch potful of nitrate of soda to a barrel of water. The next week give liquid cow manure with a little chicken manure added. I^et this stand at least a week after the liquid has. been drawn oft, add a 3-inch potful of sulphate of potash, allowing it to become well dissolved. Every three or four weeks give a light dressing of dissolved bone. The chemicals will act on the bone and other food in the soil and set free the potash and sul- phuric acid. You can use the same for roses. The keynote of success in the use ot these fertilizers is to apply weak so- lutions and often. Above all things, avoid too strong a dose at one time. And give variety. Plants don't want exactly the same food week after week any more than we do. For chrysanthemums in summer I suggest an application every two weeks of a solution of nitrate of soda and every other week liquid cow, chicken or sheep manure. Stop feed- ing as soon aS the buds show color. Give also now and then a small dose of liquid sulphate of ammonia. This will make your plants bloom early. ESTABLISHMENT OF A LOUISVILLE FLORIST. The accompanying illustration rep- resents Wm. Mann's greenhouse estab- lishment. As can be seen readily, it is a model commercial place, consisting of eight modern, well-equipped houses and comprising about 15.000 feet of glass. It ranks among the very best establishments of the kind in the Blue Grass state. The history of Mr. Mann's business career, uneventful though it is^ is nev- ertheless interesting. Away back in the seventies, when a mere boy, he made his first start on Franklin street. With no experience to guide him, save that acquired as "he moved along," but with an indomitable will that sur- mounted all obstacles and a perse- verance that has for its motto "Try, and try again," Mr. Mann soon forged his way to the front, having achieved the success born of hard work. In 1889 he removed his place to Brook street, one of the finest residen- tial streets in the city. While growing a miscellaneous stock of plants for his retail trade, Mr. Mann pays particular attention to cut fiowers, his roses and carnations invariably being of the choice grade. Aside from being a good, all-around grower, Mr. Mann is a floral artist of the first degree, first prizes for floral work having been his wher- ever his work was exhibited. S. 444 The Weekly Florists' Review, MARCH 15, 1900. HEATING. I want to heat two greenhouses, each ISxlOO feet, with hot water in 4-inch cast iron pipes, one overhead flow pipe and six return pipes under benches in each house. One house will be three- quarter span, short side to the south for roses, and the other will be equal ^an, for carnations, lioth running east and west. My boiler is an upright, 3x6 feet, 55 flues, 1%-inch. water space all around fire box. Is the boiler large enough to heat the two houses? How large a boiler will it require to heat four such houses? D. C. N. The boiler described by D. C. N., be- ing of upright design, G feet high, with fifty-flve 1%-inch tubes, will heat the twQ houses each ISxlOO feet easily. If he desires to install a boiler to heat four such houses, it should be a twen- ty-horse-power, preferably of the hori- zontal tubular pattern. New York. HENRY W. GIBBONS. The troubles described by your cor- respondent John S. are caused by a lack of capacity of the mains. Con- sidering the amount of heating surface in the several coils, and also the great length of the return main, this pipe should not be less than two and one- half inches in diameter. The flow main is also small: it should be three inches, or even three and one-half, from the boiler to the far end where it branches. The reason that the short coil near- est the boiler gives the most trouble is that the weight of the greater vol- ume of water from the coils in the longer houses entering one end of the tee at the boiler forces back the warmer and consequently lighter weight of water coming from the short house. It may also be stated that there ex- ists some structural cause for the lat- ter trouble, but from the description he gives of the apparatus none is ap- parent. HENRY W. GIBBONS. New York. NEW YORK. Easter Outlook. Easter is the all absorbing question of the day. Whafs it going to be? Will I sell out, or what should I buy? are more than passing thoughts to the vast majority of the trade. Growers here report a loss of over ,">0 per cent, of the Bermuda lily stock through dis- ease, and it seems to us this costly and vexing matter should be solved and made impossible to occur by the over- flowing intelligence of today. There will be an abundance of flowering plants on the market. Already many "f the retailers have bought most of their stock. From 12 to 15 cents seems to be the prevailing asking price for lilies, the majority of which are .Japan longiflorum, and are short in stalk. Novelties are very scarce and buyers are skeptical of the few which are of- fered. There will be a deluge of cut flowers, for most of the rose houses promise immense crops. Prices will have to be moderate on much of the stock in order to clear out. Club Meeting. The Flor:sls' Club held its regular monthly nueting March 12th. Mr. O'Mara was reported sick, and Vice- President Arthur Herrington presided. Matters pertaining to the S. A. F. con- vention were the leading questions be- fore the house and most of the com- mittees reported progress. The horti- cultural show committee requested that the $100 trophy prize to be given to the society whose n.embers win the largest amount of prizes be reconsid- ered: the principal reason for this rec- ommendation was that such trophy might become a burdej. to the society winning it. as none had a home of its own, and it was thought if any prize was offered in this way cash would be most satisfactory; the matter was laid over till next meeting. The club decided to offer three gold medals in the following classes in the horticultural section: Group of foli- age plants covering 200 square feet, group of foliage plants covering 100 square feet, and for group of flowering and foliage plants to cover 100 square feet. Wni. Plumb, by offering $10. started a fund of a hundred dollars or more to be given to the exhibitor winning the greatest number of prizes. Mr. Plumb was appointed a committee of one to take charge of this fund. F. L. Atkins made a strong plea for a repre- sentative exhibit of nursery stock at the convention, and the horticultural committee was requested to provide if possible for a class in ornamental shrubs. A vote of thanks was ordered sent to the Buffalo club for their kind and generous care of the pilgrims from here on the occasion of the carnation convention. The entertainment committee plead- ed for an extension of time to con- sider their duty: three months of the year have already gone, and though convention matters take up lots of time yet it becomes tiresome. There were times at this meeting when members wondered what they came for: the importance of Easter, "its sup- ply and prospects were ignored, but the committee promise to provide for the next meeting, when most will not be able to attend. All the committees are expected to meet at the club's rooms. Monday. March 26th. Max Iticliter, New .Springfield, Staten Island, exhibited a vase of very fine Princess of Wales violets, for "which an honorable mention was awarded. Various Notes. Dahlia growers will hold a meeting at 1:80 p. m.. March 27th. in the Berk- eley Lyceum, 21 West Forty-fourth street, for the purpose of reorganizing the National Dahlia Society. Some thirty of the most prominent dahlia growers in the country have promised to be present: and the invitation is ex- tended to all interested. New York will have many gatherings during the week of the rose show, and it would be wise to be present at as many of them as possible. Full particulars of the Gardeners' Society meeting and carnation show will be given next week; in the meantime all are re- quested to prepare to send an exhibit of all the new carnations whether they are in commerce or not. This will be the best chance to show your prod- ucts to the leading private gardeners of the country, and we hope they themselves will show whatever seed- lings they may have in bloom. Save your flowers for March 27th. We are informed and hear it with regret that John Fink, an old-time Broadway florist, is dead. Many have cause to pleasantly remember John in his capacity of foreman for Butler in the good old days of long ago. Peter MacDonald, ex-president of the New York Gardeners' Society, later in the wholesale cut flower busi- ness, is at present foreman in the de- partment of public parks. Here Peter has the good wishes of a host of friends. Bowling. There was quite a large crowd at the bowling alleys last night.

Just a touch of scarcity along most lines except in violets and a marked stringency among the light colored carnations. .American Beau- ties are selling from 50 cents to $6 per dozen; Meteors. 50 cents to $3 per dozen; other red kinds scarce; pink and white, from 25 cents to $3 per dozen, and other colors scarce. Yellow ones beginning to show up in little spots. A noticeable feature of the rose sit- uation is the lack of demand for the Papa Gontier. which was such a favor- ite as a bud for the past few years. But tew grow them, Dana being tl;e only large producer. He is sending in very fine ones just now at from 2 to 6 cents each. Its popularity was on the decline last year, with a limited call for its parent, "the old-fashioned Bon Silene. " but this is not so marked this year and that for the Gontier lit- tle improved, if at all. MAKcii :o, woo.

Since last you heard from Buffalo ■we have had one of those old-fash- ioned snow storms that uncle tells about; three feet on the level is pretty good for Buffalo, but it was far eclipsed by our neighbor, Rochester. Since the streets have been passable business has been fairly good, and judging by one man, very good. "How is business, Mr. Anderson?" "Fine! grand!" Flowers of all kinds are very plentiful and prices have and will take a tumble. Violets particularly will soon be overdone. In company with W. J. Palmer, Sr., the best of companions, for he has not those periodical and frequent attacks of thirst which afflict many, we jour- neyed over to Toronto to participate in their first Canadian carnation show. They might have had an im- promptu show before, but this was the first attempt at an exhibit on a large scale, and it was a very successful one. Your Toronto correspondent will doubtless report it in full and I have no wish to encroach on his domain, but will only mention a few things that impressed me. Everything was there, new and old. The only absentee was "6G6," and that was not there, much to the regret of Messrs. Dailledouze. It was very no- ticeable that several varieties showed up in better and fresher form than at Buffalo, notably Ethel Crocker, from Albert Herr. The Marquis was never seen larger, brighter or with a finer form and stem. Mrs. Lawson was in magnificent form, and so was the glo- rious Enquirer and Estelle. If these two turn out good growers and free they must displace several varieties now held in high estetm. The scarlet Estelle is a winner. Miller & Sons staged Lady Van Home and Lady Minto in fine form and several good seedlings. All the Howers kept well and the show was a success. The observed of all observers W'as a vase of the new rose "Liberty." We have seen this rose on several occa- sions and thought that it would super- sede Meteor, which requires so much heat in the winter, but what we had seen of it before gave us but a poor conception of it. Whether these two dozen blooms were the pick of thou- sands we can't tell, but if they were it only shows its possibilities; stems ,'?() inches long, fiowers as large as Am- erican Beauty and color the richest, warmest crimson. As shown there, as far as our commercial roses go, it is Liberty first and the rest nowhere. A pleasant reunion of members and their friends took place at the close of the show and as genial Park Supt. Chambers, who was toastmaster, said: "We know how to make a show a suc- cess. Let it be free to the public and you will get lots of visitors." We found that to be the case in Buffalo, but our labor is not all in vain. We are educating the public, our goods are a perfect luxury, and some time and money spent in showing the public eye our beauties is well spent. Patriotic toasts were prominent and the visitors were duly honored. If anyone wants to see automatic stoking they should visit the mam- moth establishment of Harry Dale. The only manual labor from the time the coal is put into the coal shed in the fall till it is dumped as ashes into wagons for carting away, is taking out the ashes from under the fires and shoveling them into a hopper. The coal shed or cellar looked to me as big as the hold of an ocean steamer, but Harry says it only holds thirteen hun- dred tons. Everything on the place looks fine, particularly of course the leading article, roses. A 600-foot house of Maids in fine order is certainly a great sight. Mr. Dale, like .lohn Dun- lop, has all the latest built houses, ventilated by the hydraulic automatic system, and they greatly approve it. Mr. Dunlop's place is in most excel- lent order. Strange that both he and Harry Dale can grow such magnificent roses under butted glass! Two houses of Beauties at Dunlop's are particular- ly fine, 5 and 6 ft. stems and scarcely a blind one. You see here in this great field of glass two roses that are no longer generally grown, and yet both are beautiful and distinct, viz., Woot- ton and Morgan, both grand roses when well done and not difficult to do. He says the demand for them is ex- cellent, and so it ought to be. How is it that Carnot and other hybrid teas show a decided inclination to want to rest during midwinter, while Wootton, which is American bred and the most perfect of hybrid teasi, is the freest possible rose the year round? There are many things about both these large places that are worthy of mention, but space fornlds. Among them is the thought, Where does the enormous cut of these places go? Can- ada is not all backwoods and there are hundreds of small towns and cities that look to Brampton and Toronto for their supply. At each place there was a gang of men with sharp knives, grafting plump flowering wood on Manetti stocks. Other strong grafted plants were being shifted into 4-inch. They both agreed that for a strong, vigorous growth and early crop the grafted plants far surpass the ordinary cuttings. On my return I found that a half- tamed Buffalo bison hwd attempted to gore old Sam Degraw, and that Sam in return had seized him by the horns and nearly twisted off his woolly (?) head and now he is quite tame and seeks for perfect peace and reconcilia- tion, w. S. CHICAGO. The Market- The supply is about the same as last week in volume and everything is mov- ing freely except weak stemmed car- nations, particularly colored ones. In fact, there is little call for short stemmed colored flowers of any kind. Business has kept up remarkably well since Lent began and the season- of sackcloth and ashes seems to have had no appreciable effect on the gen- eral call for flowers. Tulips are plenty and are moving fairly well, though at low prices. Vio- lets are in the dumps in spite of the fact that weather conditions are fa- vorable, and we hear dealers express the fear that many people are tired of them. Prices now range from 30 to 50 cents a hundred, while some are cleaned up as low as 5 cents a bunch. Double daffodils seem to average rather poor in quality. They sell, but at low figures. There are a good many callas in the market and demand is not very brisk. In Beauties, medium lengths are in best demand and it is found difficult to move the extra long at the extra price. Benthey & Co. are receiving some fine Princess of Wales violets that sell well at a good price. Kennicott Bros. Co. show a fine lot of mahonia leaves. This Is an admir- able decorative material and will cer- tainly be widely used when well known. Variouf Items. The Schiller greenhouses at Niles Center have been purchased by Mr. John Brod and they will be in future conducted by his son. Sam Pearce has an unusually fine lot of Easter plants. Lilies and Crim- son Rambler roses are in extra good shape. A lot of carried over azaleas are remarkably good. He also has a. splendid lot of spring stuff in fine con- dition. Mr. N. H.

The Florists' Club will hold a regu- lar meeting at 40 Randolph street to- morrow (Friday) evening. The sub- ject for the evening is "Bulbs," and an interesting discussion is promised. We hear o£ quite a few lilies coming blind. There was no quorum at the meeting of the bowling club last Friday even- ing. The club has withdrawn from the local league. It is hoped that the prom- ised visit of the St. Louis bowlers will waken up things a bit. Geo. Piepgras has leased a part of E. C. Amling's new place. ST. LOUIS. Qub Meeting. The regular monthly meeting of the Florists' Club was held March 8th, at Odd Fellows' hall. The meeting was well attended and the proceedings were of much interest to those present. Al- though it was our annual rose meeting there were very few exhibits. E. (i. As- mus, of West Hoboken; N. J., exhibited his famous rose, Liberty, which at- tracted much attention and was pro- nounced the best red rose on the mar- ket. W. J. & M. S. Vesey, of Fort Wayne, Ind., showed two fine vases of well grown Brides and Bridesmaids. Fred Ammann had a vase of his fine Meteors and Frank Fillmore a vase of mixed roses. The exhibition committee made their final report and they were ordered to pay the money on hand, and the money made at the euchre, to the prize win- ners at our late show. The committee appointed to draw up resolutions in memory of our late brother, John M. Jordan, read the fol- lowing: Resolutions In memory of Mr. J. M. Jordan. Ivy the committee appointed by the St. Louis Florists' CHib: WHEREAS, death has removed from our midst Mr. J. M. Jordan, a member o£ this Club, and . ,, , a WHEREAS, In the demise of Mr. Jordan • the Club has met with Irreparable loss, and WHEREAS, the deceased was knoT\Ti to us as a man of sterling worth, as a good neigh- bor and cItlKon. Mr. Jordan has ever exempli- fied the highest qualities, THErtEF<;>UE, be It resolved, that his mem- ory will ever be cherished, an example of faith, friendship and true nobility, an Inspira- tion of public fldolity, so to have lived and so to have died, is not to have lived and died In vain. The St. Louis Florists' Club mourns with a host of friends his taking off. To his bereaved wife and family wo extend our deep- est sympathy in this their hour of affliction. In the memory of the nobility of his character, the faithfulness of his private and public life, and the sincere attachment of the vast host of friends who with them mourn, may they find some sunslilne of consolation to lighten the darkness of the r)rosent gloom. Be It further resolved, tliat these resolutions l>c spread on the minutes of this Club, and that a copy of same bo transmitted to the bereaved family. _ , A. S. HALSTBDT, Chairman. C. C. SANDERS. R, F. TESSON. Ed. WalterB, ot South St. Louis, was elected a member of the club by a full vote. Committee on next year's show was given until next meeting to make their report. A recess was taken to inspect the roses. Fillmore, Herzog and C. Beyer were appointed judges. The club's prize of $5 for the best vase of roses went to Mrs. Vesey, of Fort Wayne, Ind., for a vase of Bridesmaids, very fine. Mr. Asmus' vase of Liberty, not for competition, was given a cer- tificate of merit. Fred Animann's vase of Meteors was given special mention, also Fraulc Fillmore's vase of mixed roses. The trustees were ordered to have an essay for the next meeting without fail. The meeting then adjourned to meet again on Thursday afternoon, April 12th, at 3 p. m. The Market Trade in the cut flower line has been very good the past week. The fine weather the latter part made stock more plentiful and prices went down a little. Judging from the way the weather opened this week, prospects are good for a warm, bright week, with plenty of stock for everybody. From all reports there will be an abundance of stock of cut flowers and plants for Easter. Commission men report business good and have been selling out every day, the early part of the week, but later they had some left for later sales. But very little stock is going to waste, except a few Dutch hyacinths or some southern violets. Carnations are still holding up and are none too plentiful. The best of roses are now sold at from ?6 to $8 per 100, but the bulk go at $4 and $5 and are at their best, fine in color and foliage. First class Beau- ties are still scarce and in good de- mand at $6 per dozen; shorts at from $1 to ?2 per dozen. Carnations, Day- break and Scotts, are very flne at J2 and 12.50. Whites the same; all other varieties bring no less than J2 and are in good demand. Harrisii and callas sell well and bring from |10 to fl2.50 per 100; Dutch hyacinths, daffs, Ro- mans and tulips sell at $2 and are quite plentiful. Next week several large millinery houses will have their openings and no doubt keep some of our florists on a jump with decorations ot plants and cut flowers. Notes. Visitors the past week were Dr. Hal- stedt, E. W. Guy and Adolph Fehr, of Bellville, 111.; F. J. Ammann, Edwards- ville, 111., and Henry Johan, Collins- ville. 111. All spent a day with the trade and attended the club meeting in the afternoon. Mr. Johan reports that he will build a new residence and a new greenhouse for carnations this summer. Messrs. Guy and Fehr report business good in Belleville. Fred Ammann reports that he has so many orders for Perle cut- tings that he can hardly fill them all. His advertisement in the Review for his famous Perle stock did the busi- ness. A Mr. Potts, who claims Chicago as his home, will open a floral store at 3838 Finney avenue. We welcome you, Mr. Potts, to our city. Ellison & Tesson, through R. F. Tes- son, reports that business with them has been of the best since the first of the year, with work of all kinds. J. W. Kunz (better known as the old sport) reports good business. John's show windows are always very attract- ive to passers-by. Joe North, of North Floral Co., re- ports that their cut of California vio- lets and carnations is the largest they ever had. and the demand good. August Schuermann, of the Schuer- mann Floral Co., will leave this week for Webb City, Mo., to decorate a large summer resort at that place. Wm. Bouche, the landscape gardener, will soon leave to lay out several new summer resorts in the west. The Schisler-Corneli Seed Co., on Saturday, March 10, sold their stock of field and garden seeds at underwriters' sale. Quite a number of florists were in attendance. The Engelman Botanical club will give the third exhibit of the season on next Saturday afternoon and evening in the Board of Education building. The subject of the exhibit is "Winter Botany." The collection will be large and interesting and has been carefully classified. Efficient persons will be in charge of the exhibit to explain its sig- nificance to the uninitiated. Bowling. The bowling club had a better at- tendance Monday night. The challenge of the Chicago Florists' Bowling Club was accepted and the latter part of the month was decided upon to visit the Chicago boys. Any of the florists wish- ing to go can call up President Kunz or Secretary Beneke at once, so we may know how many are going. Four games were rolled and some very good scores were made, and the Chicago boys can look at the following scores: 1. 2. 3. 4. Tot. Av. C. A. Kuehn 192 156 155 179 682 170H J. J.

Surprise may be occasioned those who think of this as a southern city, still cherishing the prejudices thought inseparable from that section, to learn that one ot our florists here do- ing a volume of trade which puts him 'way up on the list, is a colored man, and that he is a veteran in the craft, fully up to the requirements ot mod- ern trade, with several specialties, and possessing skill in adapting himself to the changing demands and fancies of MARCH 15, 1900. The Weekly Florists' Review. 447 the retail business of a modern city. This is J. H. SiiUlons, whose experi- ence iis a gardener began, as he tells us, wlien he was a boy of eight years, and with iiis father's family was daily engaged in growing out-ot-door stuff. Back as far as ISUti he commenced to sell flowers in the markets and on the streets, and his business has steadil.v enlarged ever since, until now he keeps two stores, one on Myrtle avenue and the other at the corner of Pennsylva- nia avenue and George street, both of which are doing a good business. Mr. Siddons does not own any glass, but he is amongst the heavy purchas- ers at the Florists' E.xchange. The convenience of this medium of ex- change between growers and retailers is much commended by him as he re- calls his daily journeys years ago through the country, north, south, east, and west, to secure his necessary supplies. At that time, when it was the vogue, he kept from ten to twelve boys constantly on the streets selling buttonholeTjouquets and small bunches of flowers. In this way he used thou- sands and thousands of pansies. vio- lets, stocks, and other flowers every week. This trade has absolutely faded away, and many growers feel the loss of the output of this class of flowers. Mr. Siddons has the call on the ever- green and wreathing trade In this vi- cinity and when large decorations are in the market his aid is always in- ■voked. At both his establishments he does an active traffic in designs for weddings, funerals and festive occa- sions, and in cut flowers; nor must it be supposed that his dealings are re- stricted to people of his own race, for quite two-thirds of his business is with white people. Mr. Siddons stands well In this com- munity, is esteemed as honorable and honest in his dealings, and respected accordingly. He served in the army during the civil war, and for several years has been on the department staff of the Grand Army of the Republic. As an example of the thrift and suc- cess of one of his race, we think he de- serves this mention to the trade. Various Notes. Mr. Philip B. "Welsh, one of our young and enterprising florists, has been unfortunately on the retired list for several weeks from the effects of a severe surgical operation, but he is now on the road to convalescence, to the gratification of his many friends. The white Maman Cochet rose will be largely planted here this season. One firm will set out three thousand plants for blooms for its store trade. Other growers have large quantities which will be in full flower, notably Messrs. Moss, Bauer and Rider. This fine rose, which is full, long stemmed and handsome in contour, with a beau- tiful blush in early autumn, has come to stay for out-door white flowers in summer. The Golden Gate rose is growing rapidly in jxjpular estimation in this locality. As the season advances, it is throwing s1)lendid blooms on long, stiff stems, and the delicious fragrance of the (lower and its lively tints com- bine to give it a place amongst the standard varieties. It is selling now at about the same figure as Bridesmaids and la a welcome variety for the long, unbroken monotony of Brides and Maids. Mrs. Charles Held, whose trade is proverbial for demanding fine stuff, is using great quantities of this rose and with great .satisfaction. It is said that one of our decorators, who recently lost heavily on plants used to adorn a church, by reason of frost penetrating the edifice, has di- rected suit to be brought against the trustees for f 100, the sum he alleges he lost by reason of injury of his palms and other foliage plants. We hear of another florist who gave the carter handling his plants too much latitude as to bringing them back home from a decoration, and by that worthy's error of judgment is suffering a loss esti- mated at about the same sum. Both instances point to the importance of personal attention to such vital mat- ters. The usually accurate compositors on the Review failed to correctly de- cipher' the hieroglyphics of your cor- respondent's last letter, and the bright .and energetic foreman of the Halliday Bros., for whom their new carnation is named, was transformed from Mack Richmond into Mack Raymond, and John L. Hogarth, who is up-to-date and very much alive, was said to have been formerly known to the trade, when it was written that he was favor- ably known to it — he coming from a family whose members have been gar- deners for several generations. The market for cut flowers for the week ending today (March 12th) was fairly active. There was some sagging the first two or three days and prices gave way, but later roses were in good demand and figures recovered, whilst carnations were not enough in evi- dence to meet all demands. In fact, one grower remarked in our hearing that at his place the buyers were sit- ting around on the hot water pipes waiting for the fiowers to open out. This season, as in every season, the old truth is taught again and again, which so many know and so few fol- low, that good stuff is always in de- mand, whilst it does not pay to fall into the ranks of the great army of mediocre qualities! The Gardeners' Club at its annual meeting tonight elected the following oflicers for the ensuing year: Presi- dent, Robert Halliday; vice-president, N. P. Flitton; secretary, John J. Per- ry; financial secretary, Harry Ekas; treasurer, Fred Berger; librarian, John "Wagner. After the meeting the usual banquet was enjoyed, toasts were proposed and speeches made, Ed- win A. Seidewitz acting as toastmas- ter. RIX. SAN FRANCISCO. The Market. The piust week has been a wet one. The rains are with us once more and business remains quiet. All kinds of stock is coming in more plentiful and prices are commencing to drop some- what. A slight Improvement can be no- ticed in the quality of American Beau- ties coming in and it is to be hoped they will keep it up right along. Calla lilies are now in full bloom and large quantities could be cut if a use could be found for them. However, they will be in demand at Easter, when other blooms are not so plentiful. Our farmers and fruit growers all over the state feel happy over the re- cent rains, as in some counties the moisture came just in the nick of time. All kinds of fruit trees are in bloom and if the frosts hold off the indications point to a heavy crop of fruits all over the state. Prices: American Beauties, $1 to $4; Brides and Bridesmaids, 50 to '75 cents; Testouts, 75 cents; Perles, 50 cents; Siebrechts. 50 to '75 cents per dozen. Carnations, Hobarts, $1; Crockers, 75 cents; Schwerins, 50 cents; fancy mixed, 35 cents; Scotts, 20 cents; Por- tias, 15 to 20 cents per dozen. Har- risii, $2 to $3.50 per doz; daffodils, 75 cents to fl per 100. Violets, Princess of "Wales, 50 to 75 cents; Calif ornias, 40 cents; double violets, 50 cents per dozen bunches; lily of the valley, 35 to 50 cents per dozen; smilax, 5 cents per string; asparagus, 10 cents per string. Various Notes. Mr. Frank Peterson, Mr. Lacazette's able partner, is making quite a repu- tation as a maker of Uoral pieces and some work done by him lately would be hard to beat. Symuacopulus called for his services this week on some fun- eral work that gave satisfaction. If Mr. Peterson keeps on at this rate he will soon be champion of the world "and other places." A. Danhem, Powell street, San Fran- cisco, has given up his florist business and will try some other means of mak- ing a living. The California State Floral Society held a meeting on March 9th at Oc- cidental Hotel parlors. A few season- able exhibits were niftde by the mem- bers. Mrs. H. P. Tricon is secretary, and E. E. Smith, president. J. N. CLEVELAND. On a recent flying trip around town we called upon A. Graham & Sons. Found everything in its accustomed good order. Lilies coming in about right for Easter, while a good batch was in bloom. Mr. Graham calculates that about one-fourth will be lost through the disease. All other Easter stock was coming along nicely. Carna- tions were looking well, and were blooming freely. Our next stop was in Painesville, where we visited the Storrs & Harri- son Co. Business thrift and order 448 The Weekly Horists' Review. MARCH 15, 1900. dominate every department here and make this establishment always a profitable place for the florist to visit. Large quantities of young roses in 2 and 3-inch pots and a number of spa- cious houses were devoted to them es- pecially. They enjoy a heavy cata- logue trade, besides much commercial business. Mr. Robert George, who has charge of the plant and seed depart- ments, is always ready with his quietly expressed thoughts and suggestions, which are valuable as they are the re- sult of close study and analysis, and which makes the time of the florist visitor pass quickly and profitably. In one of the first houses visited a mass of Gloire de Lorraine begonia in flower was an impressive object les- son, and we predict a large sale for this new favorite next season. They were working up a large stock of it. The new geraniums were here in large numbers; but very few were in flower, so could not judge them in their in- dividual bloom. As our time was lim- ited we only looked into the forty greenhouses which comprise the estab- lishment. Herman A. Hart's place is another orderly, well kept plant. Hart be- lieves in order firstly, secondly, and thirdly, and his belief is practically carried out. Easter stock looks well, but some of the lilies show the same disposition to disease as elsewhere. A fine batch of primroses and cinera- rias were in flower, and other promis- ing stock was coming on. The stores are looking very brilliant just now. J. M. Gasser is cutting very fine carnation blooms, some of the best coming into the city. Some very well done azaleas, lilacs and rhodo- dendrons in pots were recently noted in his window, which is always at- tractive, with choice stock always in cvidcncB. Smith & Fetters, on the opposite side of the street, always have a pretty and attractive window display, and they carry a choice stock of flowers. For Washington's birthday they got up a unique decoration of Jerusalem cherry trees which were well berried, and clusters of the same branches ar- ranged with hatchets tied with nar- row cherry ribbons. It makes a much more effective simulation of the cherry tree episode than Ardisia crenulata does, which is generally used for this purpose. This firm believes in rib- rons, and immense, stunning bows are used in profusion on bouquets, baskets and plants. Their choice valentine boxes were tied with pink taffeta ribbon. No. 30, two separate bands around and tied in swell bows. Mrs. Ella G. Wilson used real ap- ple blossoms in a wedding decoration. They were forced into bloom especi- ally for the occasion lately. Bulbs, azaleas, smilax and a batch of lilacs are all in first class condition at this place. Wm. Brinker has recently doubled his store room capacity, and expects to do a large business this year in seeds and florists' supplies. E. G. W. R. C. Carnations.^s^^ftt Per 100 Mrs. Thos. \V.

Fakirs sold them on every corner from 10 to 15 cents per bunch of 50.

Mr. Samuel Honshaw, of the New York Botanical Gardens, addressed the society, March 7tli, upon the flora of the West Indies. The speaker dwelt with praise upon the magnificent bot- anical gardens of Trinidad which are maintained by the British government, and where almost the entire tropical flora is represented. The growth in this climate is some- thing wonderful. Two palms, 2 feet 6 inches in diameter, which form the gateway to the gardens; an Eucalyp- tus globulus, same size of the palms, and an Acalypha tricolor 18 feet in di- ameter, were pointed out by the cur- ator as having been raised in thumb pots only five years before. Among the commonest weeds are Tradescantia tricolor and discolor. In Port-au- Spain Mr. Henshaw counted six vari- eties of oxalis growing wild and twen- ty-one varieties of begonias. He found but few orchids. In the English pos- sessions floriculture is cherished and tree growth encouraged, but the op- posite has been the custom in the Spanish possessions, where a rich and varied timber growth has been almost destroyed. In Porto Rico, the Latania borbonica. the sensitive plant, ipomoea and thunbergia grow as weeds. It may be mentioned that among all this loveliness the boa constrictor, the alli- gator and the poisonous centipede also flourish. In the business preceding the ad- dress, the committee appointed by the society at a previous meeting, to de- vise some method ot advancing a knowledge of floriculture among the school children by the free distribu- tion of plants for cultivation, with cul- tural directions, reported favorably upon the project, which was received with approval by the society. John N. May. W. A. Manda and others pledged a donation of rooted plants required. It was decided to confine the experi- ment to the chrysanthemum and offer prizes for best grown of same. This was extended to also include the salvia, Mr. Manda adding one thousand of his variegated specialty to his first pledge. The plants to be distributed not later than May 15. and collected for judging and exhibition as a part of the socie- ty's fall show. The committee, ,1. B. Davis, J. O. Williams and John Hayes was instructed to report further de- tails at the next meeting. One new member was elected. J. B. D. SALT LAKE CITY, UTAH.— The B. C.

Mr. Lin- genbrink manufactures his own flora! designs and appears to be working up a little trade of his own. Mr. Wolf, of the Colfax Floral Co., says everything is selling out of sight and they expect to put up two more houses this summer. Their carna- tions are very good this winter. Some growers report Easter lilies too early, others too late, and the chances are that they will bring a good price. Flora Hill carnation is considered the best white, Crane is the best red, and Scott is hard to beat for pink, Mrs. Bradt is the largest variegated seen around here. Daniels & Fisher expect to repair five houses which are said to have been empty all winter. The Curtis Park Floral Co., now one of the oldest greenhouse firms in Den- ver, put up lots of floral designs and do a good business in pot plants. J. L. Miller has resigned his position at the City Park Greenhouses and has leased Mr. Godley's place. He will grow vegetables and perhaps some car- nations. The business outlook Is very good. F. A. HAENSELMAN. RUTHERFORD, N. J. Julius Roehrs has a remarkably fine stock of Easter plants. His lilies are especially good; most of them have two or three stalks from a bulb and are easily the best we have seen this season so far. Almost every variety of flowering plant can be seen here in immense quantity. Azaleas are in all sizes, but special attention is given to specimen grade stock. Houses of Crimson Ram- bler are in the best of form, so are hydrangeas, rhododendrons, acacias, boronias. etc. A special feature is be- ing made of calceolarias this year; this will be somewhat of a novelty for Easter and there is a fine lot of them here. If you are interested in good stock or want to see a great display, visit Mr. Roehrs' place. D. EASTER CARDS. The Easter cards and folders de- signed for Easter aniiouncements by florists prepared by Dan'l B. Long, Buffalo, N.

The Weekly Florists' Review, 471 Easter. I Variety is not only the spice of life, it is a great incentive to business. No matter if the chances are small, or that you cannot even sell some things at any price, it is good to have a few just for variety's sake and to better show off the good things. Many will differ with us on this point and argue that it's foolish to buy what may not sell, but there are many ways to look at things and our business at best is a continuous speculation. To have lots of lilies, azaleas, etc., for Easter is necessary, and peaple may come to your place fully deter- mined to buy one particular kind of plant; this determination often van- ishes at the sight of some old favorite or specially well grown flower, and everybody, even yourself, prefers to deal where there is a large var.ety to select from. Your only danger is in buying too much small stock or too many of a risky kind. No one can ex- pect" to clear everything out. at least it is unwise to buy so close, especially when plants are cheap, still c.ire should be taken to have the surplus of a nature that will detract the least from your profits. There are plants. like azaleas and rhododendrons, which the growers will take back at half or one-third the price. Your largest plants should be bought on this con- dition as a protection to yourself, but you should never take them back from your customers unless you are sure they are willing to pay well for them; that is to say, the price of a new one. There are too many sickly boarded plants in this country; several grow- ers' houses are disgraced with them and the system is injurious to trade. Therefore, when you sell an azalea or genista to your customer, try to avoid conditional purchase. Easter plants are the cause of many hopes and fears to grower and retailer alike. In the first place, it is diffi- cult to judge what to grow, and in the second, what and how many to select for your trade. Those who can see the merit of novelties, appreciate them at their full value, and offer them to the public in the best manner, are the ones liable to do the best business. There are times when ugly or insig- nificant things are snatched up by the crank and others, when the prettiest and most interesting are ignored by the most fastidious. ■We are inclined to snub many deli- cate flowers, perhaps because we have no suitable place in our store for them, and the danger of this will be that in- stead of encouraging a more extensive cultivation of variety, we will eventu- ally wind up in having only those flow- ers or plants which will have the duia- billty of leather or iron. We have at present a few fake floral artists in New York who cannot touch a plant or flower without destroying its beauty with artificial humbug; even artificial flowers and plants form a conspicu- ous part of their window decorations. Of course such people will never be able to retard the ever increasing de- mand for the beautiful in nature; it is only that they are mistaken in their profession, and a pity it is. We must remember that Easter this vear is very late. The weather is apt to be warm and some of the stock too open. Though it is cold now. and some things appear backward, don't forget that warm days will hasten them on, and that most people, especially in the case of azaleas, prefer to have plenty of buds on their plants. With lilies it is different; few care to pay tor buds, and yet care should be taken to have no old blooms. Longiflorums may not be as profitable to the grower as Harrisii on account of number of flowers, but they are more satis- factory to the retailer and the public because they keep longer. Unlike at Christmas, delicate colors are popular at Easter; this is because spring is soft hued and there is more harmony in tones. In winter, the brighter the object the more it appeals to the eye, wearied with the dismal aspect of cold climates. The growing tendency here, however, as in Paris. Is for bright col- ors at the commencement of every season, and this year you may ex- pect much of your brightest colored stock to be sold first. Though white and blue are essen- tially Easter colors, we, as a rule, have too many white flowers in the market. Many growers have a bench ,,, hoiL-.- iill.-(l Aiih undesir;ilii'- -'"'k, and they compel, whenever they can, the retailer to take a portion of this stock if he wants any of the select; it is always a pleasure to gel even with such people. This year material is pleniiful and much of it is good; be sure you mark whatever extra grade specimens you buy. and if the grower tries to cheat you by sending substi- tutes, refuse to take the stock; we mention this because unfortunately some people practice it, and we advo- cate opposition to everything dishon- est. Now. as to what is going to sell best, last week we mentioned a few, and the list could be extended far be- yond all we name. Of late years there has been a marked increase in the sales of palms, ferns and general decorative stock at Easter time. Some people want to appear ultra-practical all the time, and they would rather buy a dish of ferns or a palm, where they should send flowering plants, simply because they begrudge the short period of exceptional beauty a flowering plant usually has, and send a plant which will remain a longer memento for remembrance. You can compromise with this element by mak- ing up composite pans or baskets of plants. Many kinds of plants really require some fixing up or embellish- ment. And in many cases you can in- crease your sales by adding a few- small ferns to this or that plant. The man who grows his own stock can work off lots of material in this man- ner. The important thing is, no one wants a skimpish looking plant or ar- rangement of plants, therefore have all as well furnished as you can. You might make more money out of the modest and inexpensive thing than the gaudy and expensive one; it all rests on the way you present it. It may be wise to have an early dis- play, but it is wiser to have and to send out good fresh stock at Easter. Consequently don't rush things; it's foolish to waste your money and plants by making a special display three weeks or even two weeks be- fore the time. Things, even be they beautiful, become monotonous, even eyesores, by a continuous presence; people rarely buy before Easter week, the most of the stock is sold on Fri- day and Saturday before Easter, and that's when you should have it in the best condition. We believe that special Easter displays in the florist's store and window should be kept back until the Saturday before Palm Sunday; even then it should be confined to the win- dow, just to remind the people, and to show them the grade of stock you handle; a pretty basket or vase of flowers will suffice before that time. Particular care should be taken in the case of violet plants. To be sure, you should have an early sample to "sell from, but the violet plants in- tended for delivery Easter Saturday or Sunday should be kept in the green- house as long as possible. A stale 472 The Weekly Florists' Review. MARCH 22, I'JUI/. violet is about the worst thing you can have about your store or send out, and every year the nuisance is in- creasing. In the first place, growerw begin to leave flowers on the plants a month or more ahead of time and the retailer gets them in his store two weeks before it is necessary, all despite the fact that no violet will re- tain its fragrance more than a week — most of them only for twenty-four hours. A present of a basket of stale ones is an insult to intelligence. There are not quite so many bulb- ous flowers being grown in pans or flats this year. When they are well done they sell readily; the trouble is ette, pan>ies, mi.\ed crocus and such things are sure selleis if the price is reasonable. The trouble with most florists is that they spend too much money in ribbons, ba-skrts, etc., and they try to exact big returns for this, in many case.s. unnecessary outlay. We have found most people willing to pay well for (lowers, but not a hundred per cent more than the value of super- fluous trimmings, and we prefer to see the plant rather than the dry goods business encouraged by the florist. We are not averse to the use of adjuncts, it's only when in excess, and conse- j quently a total disregard for art is I adopted that we disagree. We will deal Mrs. Bradt as grown at Briar Cliff.

It is important that you have a good man to take care of the watering of your Easter plants. This is a vital point, and don't, p'ense don't, expect to find a man with a head and conscience and the pa.^sivenrss of a slave for five dollars a week. Remember this is near the twentieth century and that you will be a long time dead. We have al- ready too much ignorance in our busi- ness, the small wages offered damps oft the intelligent element; there is more loss through this shortsighted- ness than from any other source. Take even the present time, neglect to prop- erly care for stock may result in tre- mendous damage; this is more particu- larly so and most likely to happen in the store. You know very few flowers will stand overhead wateiing. and plants in flower require plentiful root sustenance. IVERA. CARNATIONS AT BRIAR CLIFF, NEW YORK. liriar Cliff is the romantic uaiue of a beautiful section of country stretching away from Scarborough-on-the-Hudson It is mostly composed of hill and dale, with here and there an assembly of trees or a meeting of laughing Btre:ims. From the summit of the hills several counties are visible, and yonder sweeps the lordly Hudson on its way to the mighty Atlantic. No wonder Washington Irving caught his grandest inspirations from here, for the scenery alone, apart from its historic interest, is well worth traveling a long way to see. In the midst of the loveliest part of this natural panorama i.s Mr. W. W. Law's handsome residence and exten- sive estate, comprising three thousand acres. Immense model dairies and other fancies are established here also, and everything is done to axact the fullest enjoyment as well as the high- est practical results. Mr. Law is passionately fond of flow- ers. At first he erected greenhouses to supply his home and his friends with plants and blossoms. The study of flora excited a deeper interest and became, as it does, more enchanting, until finally experiment and ambition led to produce even finer flowers than were procurable on the market. This was comparatively easy where unlim- ited resources were available, and to- day it can be safely said that the fore- runner, the shadow as it were — nay, more, the very model of the horticul- tural house of the coming century— can be seen here. You are interested in carnations, every florist is more so now than ever in the history of floriculture. Well, dear reader, if you can, go and see the carnation house at Briar Cliff. If you cannot, then imagine yourself with us. We are standing at one end of a mag- nificent glass palace, it is fifty feet in w-idth and three hundred and six feet in length; it is three-quarter span and twelve feet at the ridge; it is of iron ^ frame and every modern appliance; * thin iron pipes are the only supports, and the view right through the house is entirely unobstructed, everything is light and fresh, but what an entranc- ing sight, what a galaxy of color radi- ating from perfect forms to glorify the divine flower. Every bundled ar.d fifty feet is occupied by a different variety, a distinct color, the whole arranged to bring out the best contrast and all the value in individuality. The best varieties of carnations dis- seminated up to last season are on trial here, and though all are grand, in their highest state of perfection, yet many, it seems sad to think, must be discard- ed or relegated to mere stock benches. The hunt for ideals causes many a pang of regret as well as many a throb MARCH 22. 1900. The Weekly Florists^ Review. 473 Iron frame Carnation House, 51x306, at Briar Cliff. of pleasure. You can, if you wish, pon- der long and deep over theories — the spiritualisms of cultivation, bacteria, ■with the point of keenest thought, ex- periment with your physics and chem- Ics, Nature can laugh at you when she will. The mysteries of successful car- nation, culture seem to be solved here in the application of abundance of light, fresh air, good soil and cow ma- nure. Why, the very carnations them- selves seem to lo.^e their identity when compared with those grown elsewhere; the foliage is deep colored and luxuri- antly sturdy, the flowers grand! White Cloud is indeed a white cloud of three- Inch flowers on 3-foot stems: Mrs. James Dean, like the dear lady herself, is a gem to be proud of. But here's Paul M. Pierson. who is manager of this establishment: let's listen to him. He tells us that the above two varieties are the best kinds to grow of their colors. Crane, the finest scarlet, brought sixteen cents each during Christmas and New Year's. Mrs. Geo. Bradt, the best striped; this has brought the highest average price of all the carnations. Gold Nugget, the best yellow; Maceo, for crimson; and Joost for dark pink. Of course there are many more kinds he will grow, but the above have given best results and will be most extensively grown. In the propagating houses there are over 40,000 rooted cuttings, and we never saw a finer lot. No sickly con- sumptives, but sturdy stock that prom- ise to produce similar results to their parents. If you are looking for this kind of valuable material, the product of intelligent cultivation and abundant nourishment, don't forget Briar Cliff. Hitchings & Co. are erecting another house, a duplicate of the one shown in our illustration. J. I. DONLAN. STARTING A SMALL PLACE. No. 1. W^ould you be kind enough to tell me if two men could make a living from two greenhouses, 20x.50, growing carnations and a general line of bed- ding plants? No. 2. The greater part of the cut flowers would be sold at wholesale, but the bedding plants at retail. Buffalo would be the wholesale market. No. 3. Would it be advisable for us to borrow $2,000 each to buy laud and build the houses? Can secure a good lot. 150x350. for about $2,200. Good soil and a good location. No. 4. What would be the running expenses of such a place? No. 5. One of us has worked at the trade for some time. No. 6. Or would you advise the one who has had the experience to start in for himself on a small scale? No. 7. What would be the average cost of two greenhouses, 20x50, shed, boiler, piping, etc.. complete? C. H. To make the answers plainer I have numbered the questions and the corre- sponding answers. No. 1. Two men could not make enough out of these house.s to. live de- cently. Neither would there be work enough to keep you employed. You would soon both get dissatisfied and one would have to make room for the other. "There is a difference between what a dog will eat and what he will live on," but this i? not large enough for two, however well it was run or whatever you grew. No. 2. It matters little whether the output of this place was sold at retail or wholesale, but if the latter there would still be less room for two in the business. No. 3. If you can borrow two thou- sand dollai-s each you could build a much larger place. If you had three 474 The Weekly Florists' Review. JIARCH 22, 19lK). houses, each 100x20, it would keep you both fairly busy; more so if you grew bedding plants than planted out crops like roses and carnations. You can build a good deal of glass on tie lot described, but four or five acres is much better. While starting in the country why not have enoiujh land? If you intended to put buildings on the land the seller is most times satisfied with a payment of 25 per cent and the remainder to run on a mortgage, which would be a good one, if you bought the land right. Good soil is of the gieatest importance, more so than location, but you should look to two things, viz.. that the houses can be built running east and west and that you have ample drainage for stoke holes, etc. No. 4. The running expenses of two houses, 50.X20. after being stocked ■would depend on your ability, it would not be enough to keep one man busy, but you had better reckon your time and in addition $125 for fuel and $50 more for pots and incidentals. No. 5. The one "that has worked at the trade for some time" is the only one that should attempt to run the greenhouses. When you have grown to a large firm the other one may be called in as bookkeeper, if he can af- ford to wait. No. 6. This is answered by the last. Decidedly, if you are determined to start, don't be encumbered bv anyone especially one who knows nothing of the business. No. 7. If you are up in building vour- self and practical in heating vou might build these two small houses with heating and shed all complete for oc- cupying for about $1,200. In conclusion, if you have no capital It would not be advisable to start in such a small way as there would be a great likelihood of always running in debt. Your profits would not be enough to get you out of debt. If you have confidence that you are an expert at the business and can borrow capi- tal, go into it large enough so that you can use your ability to advantage and progress. NEW YORK. Amalgamat'on Rejected. The past week was a most important one in the history of the florists' busi- ness in New York. A scheme was sprung to amalgamate the New York Cut Flower Company, now doing busi- ness at 119 West Twenty-third street, and the Cut Flower Exchange at the Thirty-fourth street ferry. The for- mer is a combination of large growers, organized a few years ago for the pur- pose of dispensing with the services of commission men, the latter is a market composed of most of the small growers on Long Island. The Cut Flower Companv have to either renew their lease or vacate this year, and the Exchange have two more years before their lease expires It was proposed by the large growers that the present corporations be dis- solved, and that they both combine and open a new flower market at the southwest corner of Thirty-first street and liroadway. A special meeting of the stockholders of the Cut Flower Ex- change was held at their market on Saturday morning last, and the propo- sition was put before them and defeat- ed by a stock vote of 18tl tor and 198 against. Never was there a more exciting meeting held anywhere, it was pathet- ically picturesque. Here in the oldest and largest cut flower mart we have in the country, men were gathered to- gether who have been identified with the flower business since the old days, aye, back to forty years ago, who have struggled and toiled on, winter and summer alike, working like slaves dur- ing the day, preparing their flowers at night, and arriving at the market at 6 a. m.; we have known most of them for over seventeen years. God only knows how they stand it, some of them can but grow ivy leaves and candytuft in the tumble-down houses — the night- mares of their lives— whilst others have splendid establishments and are famous for the quality of their prod- ucts. These men, and women, too, are of all nationalities, but the majority are Germans. Some years ago they formed a cor- poration, put their hard earned little moneys into the venture, and have prospered. Success, no matter how small, is capable of bringing content- ment to those who have little or no pleasure in life, and any seeming de- vice which threatens to destroy that success is met as a foe and fought most bitterly. This was the case on Satur- day, the "well-to-do" element were willing to try their luck with the new venture, but the poorest dreaded the scheme with the full weight of des- peration. To them it was a case of the sharks and the little fishes, and his- tory and experience taught them to be- ware. It even went so far that these small growers were determined to open a market for themselves should the scheme of amalgamation succeed. It would seem assured that there will always be a market near this ferry, yet that there will be a new one on or near Broadway. Sooner or later we suppose New York will have a creditable plant and flower market, that is inevitable, and there is nothing impossible to a united florists' wish here. The present system and the new proposition is, and would fall short of the requirements. If we could but eradicate the feeling of ven- omous distrust which seems to per- vade and guide the actions of certain elements in our trade, poor New York might at least be a more pleasant place to live in. Some have lived so well, though, that they have become com- pletely blind to the "live and let live" signs. There's an end to every rope. Let Us have more honest good feeling- it's badly needed in these short lives of ours. A Plant Market. The New York Market Florists' As- sociation held a meeting at the Clin- ton market restaurant, March 15th, It was decided to open the season on Sat- urday, March 24th. The above is com- posed of plant growers from New Jer- sey and Long Island. Clinton market is the only plant market we have in New York; it is situated at West and Canal streets. The season opens in March and closes in late summer. New York Gardenes' Society. The New York tiardeners' Society will hold its quarterly meeting and carnation show in the parlors of the New York Press Club, 34 West Twen- ty-sixth street. New York city, on the afternoon and evening of March 27th. Mr, C. W. Ward has offered a beauti- ful silver cup for the best collection of carnations, twelve flowers of each va- riety, three of the varieties must have originated with either Mr. Ward or Mr. Dorner. F. R. and P. M. Pierson have offered a prize for the best display of carnations. The Florists' Review, through its eastern representative, of- fers Wm. Scott's grand work, "The • Florists' Manual," for the best fifty carnation flowers, not less than three varieties. This prize, value $5, is of- fered in this class to give the man with a small place a chance with the big one, and keen competition is expected. The publishers of American Gardening offer two years' subscription to that paper for the best seedling carnation. All the above classes are confined to private gardeners. Certificates of merit will be awarded to meritorious new carnations exhibited by commer- cial growers. This is a chance to all to have the very highest recognition given to their products. The New York Press Club is composted of the brightest men in the newspaper and literary world of New York, the entire pre.'s of the city is represented here, and we feel it is only necessary to state that every courtesy and every opportunity will be afforded the entire floricultural communitv to exhibit their best that day. Mr. John A. Hennessy and Col. A. B. de Frece, the chairman of the house committee and chairman of the entertainment committee of the New York Press Club, have graciously tendered the use of the club's room for the day, and we hope all will send an exhibit of their new carnations. Any flowers sent to Jas. I. Uonlan. at above address, on the 27th of March, will be carefully staged and attended to. Various Items. Everyone expects a very good Easter trade. At the present time wheels go slowly. Mr. Thomas Young, Jr., intends to visit London and Paris this summer as usual, but denies that he intends to open branch stores in those cities. New York will be a place of much interest next week. We hope to see a MARCH 22, lilOO. The Weekly Florists' Review. 475 White Cloud as grown at B.-iar CUff.

BOSTON. The Market. The week past waa a very change- able one in many respects, as seen with a floral eye. The weather was particularly that way, varying from summer heat and dusts to winter's bleakest, and one of our wettest rains chased a vigorous snowstorm out of our borders in a way full of points for the burghers. The first half of the week did a brisk business for us and we all wore our blandest smile. But that rain damped off everything for a couple of days ex- cept a fair movemert on funeral trade, and although Satuiday did its very best it could not retrieve the lost ground. Red roses draggtd the hardest. Small sizes of other eo'.ors sold fairly well and white were scare? Saturday. Hold- ers of large ones wanted more than buyers were willing to pay. Carnations in light colors went well enough all the week, darker ones at times being too plentiful. Violets are right where they may be expected at this date — a rising wave of them loom- ing before us. Jonquils got very fa- miliar during the middle of the week, but drifted away later. Fine white for finishing funeral work was called for. Ncwi Notes. News items did not come my way and had no time to go after them. Mr. Elliott made his appearance upon his old beat around the city the llrst of the week, his strong appearance ■ calling forth congratulations from his friends.

May not a list of the awards at our trade exhibition be of value to your readers, since an account of the show dodged your columns? They were as follows: E. X. Peirce & Sons, mignonette; J. L.

Crane, best red carnation; L. E. Marquisee received two awards on The Marquis, one for the best vase of carnations and one for being the best light pink. The same exhibitor received an award for carna- tion novelty. The present week. March 19th, opened under good auspices all around. Good strong pull on everything. B. T. PHILADELPHIA. The Market.

The first of tlie new series of handi- cap tournaments of the Florists' Gun Club was held on March LSth on the club grounds at WLssinoming and drew a big crowd of shooters to the grounds. Tuesday's shoot had fourteen entries, and was closely contested throughout, resulting finally in a tie between Cart- ledge and Barrett .with handicap of nine. Cartledge made high score with 52. while Barrett with a handicap of 12 scored one less. Coleman, who shot at the lowest mark, made the best score with 22 out of 2.5, at unknown angles.

LOUIS. The Market. The market keeps quite firm. There is no overstock and no scjrcity in any one line. The quality of stock is gen- erally very good. Bridesmaids. Brides and Meteors are (oniing in in extra fine quality from Ammann. Vesey, Kel- logg, Kuhl, Emundt and others. Our home growers, too, are sending in an extra fine quality of rc^es. carnations and violets. The topic for the present is Easter. Growers, retailers and wholesalers all have their interest antl their hopes centered in the coming festival. The bright, warm weather of late has has- tened the plants along and from ap- pearances there will be an abundance of stock for the usual heavy demand. Last week carnations were very scarce, but are coming in better now, but hardly enough to go around. Business in general has been good and no effects of Lent have been felt so far. Funeral work, of course, is the bulk of it and all florists as well as the commission house.H are satis- fied with the business they have done during Lent. Prices on most lines are easy. Vari- eties such as Meteors, Bride.=i and Bridesmaids are from $4 to $G per 100; Woottons and Perles, $2 to 14; Beau- ties, extra long, are $4 per dozen. In carnations Scotts. Daybreaks and all whites head the list: reds are getting more plentiful. A few are sold at $1.50, but the bulk of them are sold at $2 and $2.50, with the demand great. Romans and paper whites are selling at $2 and $3: Dutch hyacinths, valley and tulips bring $2 to $4; callas, $6 and $10: Har- rises are still $12..50; good freesia brings $2. Violets continue very plen- ty: there are many more than the mar- ket under ordinary conditions can con- sume. Californias are down to 25 cents; some extra fine ones go at 30 cents; doubles, 50 cents; small single. 10 cents. Southern stock brings about 1 cent per bunch of 25. and lots of others going to waste. Smilax is still plentiful and the demand slow at $12.50 per 100 strings. Notes. Our visitor this week was S. S. Skid- elsky, the man who sells everything in the florist line, in i-esplendent attire and with a smile that would make any man buy his goods. Mr. Potts has opened his flor-al store at 3S38 Finney avenue, under the name of The Eden Floral Co. Max Herzog. at Gratiot Station, has purchased 50 feet more ground adjoin- ing his place. Max will build a new house this summer, 100x27. supplied with the new iron gutter which Max thinks is a great thing. Your correspondent was inquiring among the -boys the past week as to how many would go to Chicago with the bowling club, and from their talk the chances are that the visit will have to be deferred until after Easter, but more will be known by Monday night at the club's rolling. We don't want to go without our best team and our own balls, as w-e well remember what hap- pened to Us on our last visit some two years ago. Bo^vling. The members of the bowling club rolled five very poor games on Mon- day night. It seemed that every one of the bowlers had an off night. In talking over the Chicago t'ip it was decided not to visit our Chicago friends until after Easter and about the 22nd of .\pril was set for the Sun- day to be in Chicago. So any one wishing to go with us will have plenty of time to think it over and let us know.

BALTIMORE. Various Notes. The firm of Madsen & .\nder.sen, r.-.se growers, will be diss dved .\pril 1st. It is composed of William Madsen and .•\ndrew Andersen, and has existed five years, during which time it has b?en noted for superior American Beauty. La France and Bridesmaid roses, which have been taken regularly by stores with the most exacting and fastidious customers. Their houses have been models of order, neatness and careful cultivation, whilst the copartners are respected alike for their integrity of character, frankness of speech and modesty of demeanor. They are both Danes by nationality. Mr. Madsen worked for a time, as we believe, with the late Wm. D. Bracken- ridge, was afterwards for many years gardener to Mr. Edgar G. Miller, and later began business on his own ac- count. Mr. Anderson went from Copenha- gen to London, where he was engaged with Hugh Low & Co., and was sent by that firm to take charge of the orchid houses of the late T. Harrison Garrett, near this city. He succeeded Mr. Mad- sen as gardener at Mr. Miller's, and then the two joined forces in the part- nership about terminating. It is said by some who profess to know that the enterprise — though not an extensive one — has been probably the most profitable of any in its line around the city. These two men car- ried on all the operations of their six houses practically without help, except in the roughest work, attending to all the details of propagating, firing, ven- tilating, gathering, packing and mar- keting the crop. etc.. with the natural result that their products have long been conceded to be in the very lead in our market. Mr. Madsen will continue the business at the old stand, and Mr. Anderson, whose place adjoins, will at oni'^e build a range of houses with all modern conveniences. The change is due to personal considerations, and only friendly relations exist between the parties. The old Wiedey greenhouses near Mount Wasbingttwi are being disman- tled and the materi-ils removed. This place, except to the originator, has been an unfortunate one to all who have operated it, and a crop of numer- ous actions at law, civil and criminal, have resulted from the various phases of its occupation by a succession of gardeners. Edwin A. Seidewitz contemp'ates radical changes in the conduct of his business, looking to widening his al- ready extended trade. To protect and perpetuate the business, should his personal services be withdrawn, as they may be in part by the demands upon his time of existing and prospect- ive duties, a corporation will be formed, including new and experienced parties, and with an additional capital beyond his present considerable invest- ment. A range of houses will be built near Arlington, one of our accessible suburbs, to be used for the growing of plants, whilst the present establish- ment at .\nnapolis will be devoted to producin.g cut flowers. The store on Lexington s;ieet. which has a g'ass- roofed showroom fur the display of plants, will be further improved and every department of the business de- veloped. Prices have sagged somewhat on flowers for the week ending this day (March lOtbi. but in some cases they MARCH The Weekly Florists^ Review. 477 have regained all they lost, and botli roses and carnations have been fairly well taken np.

RIX. CHICAGO. Club Meeting. At the last meeting of the F'lorists' Club a very interesting display was made by Mr. C. .1. Stromback, of Lin- coln Park, of the hyacinths that had been sent him from the state of Wash- ington for trial. There were a dozen plants in 4-inch pots, all in splendid bloom, the varieties being Gertrude, Norma, Gen. Pellis, Marie and King of the Blues. These were three-year-old bulbs, having been imported from Hol- land when one year old and grown two years by a Mr. Larrabee, of Fairhaven. Washington, on land about five or six feet above the sea level. AH bore two good spikes of bloom, and Mr. Strom- back said the bulbs were the largest hyacinth bulbs he had ever seen. Among the visitors at the meeting was Mr. B. D. Kapteyn. representing a firm of bulb growers 'at Sassenheim, Holland, and he said he was surprised to see such fine spikes of flowers from bulbs grown in America; they were far ahead of what he had anticipated. He expressed the belief that when experi- enced growers of bulbs were employed here that success in bulb growing would be assured. He doubted, though, whether American growers would be so successful in propagating their own bulbs as in growing on young bulbs imported from Holland. He stated that in Holland the bulbs were not grown to maturity in the same soil. The soil is varied from year to year, and long experience had been required to dem- onstrate which soil is best at each par- ticular stage of development. The Holland growers had found some varieties much easier to grow than others and he predicted trouble when American growers attempted to pro- duce bulbs of such sorts as La Grand- esse and Czar Peter. These varieties are subject to a bacterial disease that generally appears a few days after a rain and which sometimes in a few' hours will destroy a large number of bulbs.- Its presence is first shown by till- appearance of small specks on the leaves. No remedy has been discov- ered and the Holland growers simply remove the affected soil and start afresh. They could never suc(-eed with the delicate varieties when planted in a heavy soil. Mention having been made of some Washington grown tulips that bore two flowers, he stated that this occa- sionally happened witli certain varie- ties, Pro.serpine, Chrysolora and Rem- bi-andt being the only ones he had known to bear twin flowers. Air. Simon, who had several times visited the bulb growing section in the state of Washington, read an article descrijitive of the climate, soil, etc., of the Puget Sound country and answered inquiries as to the methods pursued in growing the bulbs. The Chicago Carnation Co. disjilayeil flowers of four of their seedling carna- tions. No. 44, a fine large red with ideal stem, scored 8t) points and re- ceived a certificate. No. 82, a varie- gated in the way of Bradt and Olympia, and with an excellent stem, scored 8.S points and also received a certificate. No. ti4, a variegated somewhat in the way of Sandusky, scored 70 points, and Chicot, white, scored 81 points. The judges were Messrs. .John Reardon, C. J. Stromback and P. M. Broadbeck. Mr. John Reardon showed a small plant of Western King chrysanthe- mum bearing six very fair flowers. This variety seems inclined to produce flowers the year around. Four new members were elected, as follows: Wm. Timme and Frank Fish- er, .loliet: Martin. Magnuson, Bowman- ville; Chas. Hughes, city. "Easter Plants" was the subject se- lected for the next meeting. The Market. The supply has been somewhat cur- tailed and flowers are rather scarce, especially white carnations. There is no appreciable change in prices, but selling figures are kept well up to quo- tations. Violets are an exception, how- ever. The poor violet is badly in the dumps. They don't move and there are literally violets to burn. The cut of Beauties has materially increased and they are selling well. Bassett & Washburn are now cutting 1,000 Beauties a day and they all go. The cut of carnations has considera- bly fallen off and it is feared there may be a shortage for Easter, though a good crop of rotes seems assured. Various Items. James B. Seward, for many years well known to the trade in this city, died March 17 of pneuraania. aged 70 years. Mr. Seward was a relative of Wm. H. Seward, who was secretary of state when Abraham Lincoln was pres- ident, and had been a resident of Chi- cago for torty-flve years. He marketed his flowers personally for many years and the old gentleman with his basket was a familiar figure to the retailers. He had lived in his house on East Forty-seventh street during the entire period of his long residence in this city. Mr. Philip Scott, Buffalo, son of Wm. Scott, passed through the city last Tuesday on his way to Denver, having taken a position in tho store of the Park Floral Co., of that city. He was accompanied by the wife of Mr. M. Hloy, who recently went from Buffalo to take charge of the greenhouses of the same firm. It was Mr. Scott's first visit to the city, and he seemed to en- joy the sights and the bowling in the evening, ere taking his train for the west.

Neiglick at 239 North State street, last Saturday morning. The Weiland-Risch Floral Co.. who have quite a range of glass at Evans- ton, will open a city wholesale store at .'J9 Wabash avenue about April 1. Mr. Flint Keunicott, president of Kennicott Bros. Co., though decidedly an "old timer" in the trade, is still a comparatively young man and keeps in close touch with the details of the larg? business of which he is the head. Mr. C. I.,. Washburn has returned from his sojourn at West Baden, Ind. considerably improved in health. Mr. O. W. Frese has returned to his first love and is again in the wholesale line, this time as manager for George Reinberg. The retail store at 72 State street is now conducted by his brother, H. C. Frese. Mr. Adolph Poehlmann has with- drawn from the firm of Poehlmann Bros., his interest having been pur- chased by his brothers John and Au- gust, who will continue the business under the old firm name. John will continue in charge of the city sales- room and August will look after the greenhouses at Morton Grove. Adolph is arranging to build greenhouses of his own. probably at Morton Grove. Mrs. Bella Miller, who has conducted the floral store at 7301/2 West Madison street for the past five or six years, was found dead in bed the morning of March IG. .John Ring, a well known journey- man florist, was killed by the cars last Sunday at IjaGrange.

March so far has been like Mrs. Gar- gery, continually on the rampage. If welVdistributed there has lieen enough winter in March to cover the whole season, and still we live and perhaps in a few days will wake to hear the robin and bluebird piping a cheery note on a near-by apple tree. The croak or chirp of I he frogs and toads in the nearest swamp or marsh is fine music for the first few days. Mr. James Kidd. late of San Fran- cisco, who recently passed through here on his way east, remarked how enjoyable it was to see the snow. He expressed himself as utterly tired of the Pacific slope weather. A few weeks of rain, perhaps, and all the rest of the vear burnt up. A New Yorker sees Califoi-nia in March after the rains and thinks it charming. If the same man saw it in August or September, when everything but irilgated spots is lirown and burnt, he would have a dif- ferent story to tell. This perpetual sun and balmy breeze may produce gold, grizzlies and greasers, but the supply of men and women who rule and lead the world must forever spring from the unfa- vored climes; "Land of brown heath and shaggy wood, land of the mount- ain and the flood." So I believe we should be thankful we are in the north where we get changes and variety of climate, and we greatly relish the changes as we do beefsteak and mush- rooms after two days of pork and beans. Business from one cause and another has been quite fair, and there has been an abundance of good flowers to fill or- ders. The writer gave up his down- town store last week, but fully expects to do more business and do it better in every way at the Cold Springs place, which, through the growth of the city, is very central for the residence dis- trict. The sensation in getting rid of this store is precisely like a man who has been condemned to carry a back-break- ing burden along a dusty road to a given milestone, and when he reached that he was allowed to throw the bur- den in the ditch. The very severe weather has been unfavorable for work on the Pan-Am- erican, but excavation on the canals has kept steadily on and many large trees are being brought on the grounds and permanently planted. The greatest activity must start up directly winter loosens her icy grip, for most of the buildings will be started at once and Mr. 11. Ulrich will be the busiest man in the country, for he will need an army of men to convert the rather un- favorable ground into the many beau- tiful landscape features. I think that I entirely forgot to men- tion the very pleasant call of General .lohn Walker on his way home from Cleveland some two weeks ago. "Gen- eral John" sounds pleasant and hack- neyed, but in this case there is nothing else fills the bill, for truly John is a pleasant fellow-. If you can't spend a pleasant time with John you should "get thee to a nunnery," or a hennery, they are all the same to me. It should be noticed by young men in the busi- ness that Mr. Walker, who is certainly a success at it, is heart and soul in the business, loves to talk it. and like all enthusiasts is as anxious to learn a point as to impart one. John's average here in a few games of bowls was 117. Now there must be something easy in those Broad street alleys where John Westcott can bowl 155. They are perhaps especially con- structed for elderly men. We had one here like it, but they floored it over and now it's- a soup kitchen. Another of the Buffalo boys has left us. Philip Scott, with Mrs. M. Bloy and her little son, left last night for Denver. Mr. Bloy went there six weeks ago to take charge of the Park Floral Co.'s extensive place, and I think the sincerest proof of his success is for Mr. Valentine to send back for more of the same school. P. S. will take charge of the fine store of the firm and assurance that he is making a success of his charge will be a happy day for his par- ents. Philip is supposed to be a great bowler; he has been, although never shining out in our national games, but what he really is is a great ball player. So let Denver select its pitcher, for you have now a catcher. Manly sport and the desire to hunt and shoot is as natu- ral in a healthy boy as to breathe, but like other instincts inherited from re- mote and savage ancestors they fade away with our present environments. Dont for our ])hysical welfare let them fade too fast, but be sure to let them be subordinate both in thought and practice to vour business duties. W. S. WATERTOWN, N. Y. Death of W. W. Greene. Westel Willoughby Greene, aged SO years and tl months, died suddenly from heart failure at his home, 83 Washington street, Waterlown, N. Y., on March 9th, 1!>00. The past winter has taken from our midst many of our old residents, those who have been ever watchful of the interests of Watertiiwn and its sur- roundings and who have responded to every call with their strength to help push the wheel of progress and make the city one of the best. We are now caused to mourn the death of W. W. Greene, who possessed all these qualities and luorc, one whose success in life was due to prompt busi- ness habits and strict integrity, one who was a thorough Christian and be- fore all he placed his church and home, ever ready with a kind and lov- ing word and helping hand to guide the ship of life. Modest and unassuming. he possessed that talent in that he loved nature, flowers. He was the old- est florist in .lefforson county. In 1853 he founded the Jefferson County Ntirseries, the first industry of its kind to be established in this county. The business increased and grew to enormous proportions under his management, and for many years was conducted by Mr. Greene and his son. J. F. Greene, under the firm name of W. W. Greene & Son. In 1895 Mr. Greene retired from the business, owing to old age, but not un- til he had given it a standing that will cause it to live long. The business is now conducted by (Jreene & Underhill. the senior member being Mr. Greene's eldest son. The deceased was born in this city in the year 1819. He was the son of Jacob Greene, who settled at Perch River in 1814. John Coddington Greene was the deceased's grandfather and was first cousin to Gen. Nathaniel Greene, an honored htro of the revolu- tionary war. Mr. Greene's ancestry wag a notable one and their names may be found interwoven in all tue great historical events of Jefferson county since the revolutionary war. When 12 years of age Mr. Greene re- moved to Albany county, where he be- came a member of the Shakers' Com- munity. After remaining there until 1852 he returned to this city and short- ly after married Elizabeth Ingham, who survives him; also two sons, J. F, and W. C. Greene, of this city, and two daughters, Mrs. G. N. Sayles, of this city, and Mrs. F. P. Trench, of Law- renceville, A. Y. The funeral was hchl on Sunday. March 11, 1900, Mr. A. M. Dullay, pas- tor of the First Presbyterian church, of which Mr. Greene was a member, of- ficiating. Interment was at Brookside cemetery. H. OCEANIC, N. J The Monmouth County Horticultural Society held its regular semi-monthly meeting March 17th, with President Kettel in the chair. The meeting was well attended and the proceedings were of much interest to those present. The ball committee reported all bills paid and a surplus of over $40 on hand. Short speeches were made by Prof. C. H. Walling, T. S. Barkuloo, H. A. Ket- tel, N. Butterbach and others. The secretary was instructed to no- tify every member to be present at the next meeting, April (ith, for the trans- action of verv important business. B. SYRACUSE, N. Y. Trade has been ciuite a little brisker since Lent began, ^"lowers of all kinds are plentiful, with the exception of roses. Bulb stuff goes- rather slowly, yellow tulips, daffodils and valley be- ing the best sellers. Yellow teas and functions more nu- merous in place of the red ones of last year. Golden Gate roses are fast be- coming favorites, the extras on long stems bringing 75 cents each at retail. 11. B. MARf)l 'Si. i:i'»i. The Weekly Florists^ Review. 479 .THE GLASS SITUATION. The following report, which recently appeared in the diiily press, was re- ferred by us to a lar^e dealer in glass, who replies that the report is aljout correct, and that the Class Workers' Union will build three tanks so as to manufacture glass this fall, and are to assess the workmen weekly to raise money to build the same. 'l"he dealer continues: "But whether they will be able to continue building them is an- other question, and our idea is that the present manufacturers will make prices low enough so that they will not be able to make the profit that tliey ex- pect. We do not look for any lower prices certainly before fall, and really glass is being sold at a decline in price while most other building materials are sold at a considerable advance." If the glass workers are really as strong as indicated in the report we print below it would appear that they will have little difficulty in eventually controlling the manufacture of glass, and the price at which it shall be sold, at least up to the point where it may be profitable to import glass from Eu- rope. But the present manufacturers will probably not succumb to this "la- bor trust" without a struggle, and the "war" may bring prices to a lower fig- ure than ever before. Still it would not be a safe proposition to figure on. But what will be the price of glass should the "labor trust" get absolute control? We hear so much of capitalistic trusts that "labor trusts " seem strange to us. But they may prove to be even more powerful than the other type. Following is the report referred to: Window glass workers are planning to f<-»rce the manufacturers out of business and gain complete control of the industry In the United States. By way of beginning it has prac- tically been decided to construct three large "continuous tank" furnaces for the manufacture of window glass, and to have them completed and in operation b.\' Sept. 15. This entering wedge will be followed by others as rapidly as the wirrkmen can perfect plans, and it is said that inside of five years there will not be a foot of window glass manufactured in this country except by the capital of the workmen who make it. The scheme to invade the manufacturing lield has been fostered in the breasts of the work- men for several years, and has been care- fully nurtured to a great strength. The beginning was the establishment of several small co-operative factories in va- rious parts of the country, and the suc- cess of these has made the workmen confident that they can en.ioy the manu- facturing as well as the labor end of the industr.v. The plan has been carefully worked out and submitted in detail to the "preceptories" all over the country. Ev- ery window glass worker in the I'nited States is a member of a "preceptory," and the "preceptories" make up the na- tional window glass workers' organiza- tion, which is known as Local Assembly 3(10, K. of L. In the voting sheets which were sent out by the executive committee the plan is set forth circumstantially, and the ob- ject is stated to be: "That said member- ship may attain industrial indei)endence and receive a greater share of the profits and benefits of their labor." Api>arently the workmen are in a position to or- ganize the new trust without material opposition. Present manufacturers are at the mercy of the workmen's organiza- tion, which Is the m..vi pi.u.iiiil kind In the country. Its strength lies mainly in the fact that Us cast Iron rules have ki'pi the sup|)ly of labor way below tlu- demand. 'l*he tn-tnendous power this gives them Is illustmted by the fact that, although then- are 2AW pots available In the I'nited States, there ar(! workmen to opi-ratc only li.lii" of thi-m. Of this num- ber l.liiii are in trust factorii's. The THii outside of the (■omblnaliou have made the ctiniin'tltlon for workmen so sharii that laborers luive \nrn able to secure wages way abo\-c th«« regular scale. No out? is eligible to an apprenticeship In this Iron- clad labor trust unless he be the son or brotluT of a blower or gatherer. If, how- ever, he is a skilled laliorer from a for- eign count r.\' and desires to become a member, he may do so if he proves ac- ceptable by iKi\'ing into the treasury the sum ""o. For years the manufaetur- ers ha\'e endeavored in vain to destroy the i-ff<'it of these rides b\- importation of labor and by other expedients, but the organization has remained in control of the situation. As soon as the three furnaces now ci;in- tem|>lated are completed they will be manned by skilled workmen taken from some of the factories of the combined or indei)en.lent manufacturers, leaving the abandoncil concerns powerless to olitain men to man their furnaces. From time to time the contributions of the work- men will be added to the protits of the factories In operation ami the money used in biuldiug additional furnaces or in purchasing those already in existence. It is thought that as soon as the original furnaces are In operation and the manu- facturers realize that they are going to be forced out of business, the workmen will have no difficulty in purchasing at reasonable prices all the j>lants they need. So far as known there will not be an attempt on the part of the workmen to enter the field of distribution of the finished product, and it is likely that the jiresent method of distribution will not be disturbed. The strength of the organi- zation is so great and so generally recog- nized that no fear is felt that there will be trouble over the distribution when the output Is under control of the workmen. BULB GROWING IN THE SOUTH. During the past twelve years I have experimented in various lines in this locality, with fine soil, seasons and climate, well adapted to growing many plants, trees and bulbs. The tuberose, gladiolus, etc., increase very rapidly. The season is long and favorable. It seems to me that anyone who un- derstands the growing of bulbs might grow them largely here at small cost, and be able to compete with the im- ported stock. Roses and ornamental stock are eas- ily produced, and with a growing sea- son of about eight months our one- year-old stock competes with two- vear-old stock grown in the north. J. P. WILSON.

Several imiuiries regarding the Duch- ess of Marlborough violet, quoted in our San Francisco news letter, were sent us, and these were forwarded to our San Francisco correspondent, who replies as follows: "In answer to your letter of March :!d concerning Duches.s of Marlborough violet, would say it is a grand violet, with fine fragrance, long, stiff stems, in color a rich magenta, and it keeps well. It also has the good quality of being a late violet; that is, gcod, large, sala- ble flowers can be picked from the plants when the Princess of Wales and California are almost worthless, it stands the warm spring weather so well. "Mr. Thomas Stevenson, The London Florist, is the gentleman that has it and the only grower here who has a stock. He obtained his stock from Sutton & Sons, Kent, England. He thinks so well of the violet that he has just completed a plantation of two acres of the Duchess. Its market value is double that of the Princess of Wales at retail just now. The Princess sells at 25 cents per bunch, while the Duch- ess sells for .50 cents a bunch. Our bunches in this market contain from 75 to 100 blooms. "The violet is a new one in this mar- ket and is quickly bought up. The pub- lic seem to know a good thing when they see it, hence the high price. Mr. Stevenson says he will have plants ready in about two months from this date at 25 cents per plant and will be glad to supply any one desiring stock." COLUMBUS, O. The ouster proceedings instituted against Miss Hester Getz, the florist, by Cross & Co. have been decided in favor of the latter. The store space was leased to Florist Roth. During the progress of the trial the revenue stamp question proved one of the leading features, the question be- ing raised as to the time the stamps were placed on the document. DENVER, COLO.

Archibald Middlemass, the well known florist of this city and a veteran in the trade, died March 15 of pneumo- nia, aged 5S years. The fatal illness resulted from a cold contracted while at work around his greenhouses on Forest Home avenue. Mr. Middlemass was 58 years of age and a native of Edinburgh, Scotland. He moved to Brooklyn, N. Y.. with his family on the death of his father in 1851, and came to Milwaukee eight years later to take charge of the pri- vate greenhouses and gardens of Da- vid Ferguson. A few years later he went into partnership with John W. Dunlop as florist and nurseryman, and for five years they conducted the Rose Hill nursery at the junction of Forest Home and Muskego avenues. In 1870, they separated, and Mr. Middlemass began business alone on the property where he lived at the time of his death. He was a lifelong member of St. An- drew's Society and of the Milwaukee Curling Club, and was always promi- nent at the social and literary gather- ings of the former and the tourna- ments of the latter. He was director of the games at the annual Scotch pic- nics for a number of years. He was twice president of St. Andrew's Soci- ety. Mr. Middlemass was twice married, and is survived by a widow, two daughters and two sons. Miss May Middlemass. one of the daughters, is a kindergarten director in the Eleventh district primary school. GERMANTO'WN, PA.— Several local florists were recently caught by the bogus check man. The usual proce- dure was to order a $7 design and ten- der a $15 check in payment. The checks proved worthless and the flor- ists were out of pocket the $8 change as well as the cost and trouble of mak- ing the design, which was ordered sent to some spurious address.

The regular meeting of Morris Coun- ty Gardeners* and Florists' Clulj was held in Masonic Hall on Wednesday last. President Duckham in the chair. One new member was elected, and the secretary announced the receipt of a check for $15 from F. R. Pierson Co., Tarrytown, N. Y., for spscial prizes for chrysanthemum Col. Appleton. to be competed for at the show in Novem- ber next. Mr. A. Herrington gave a talk on carnations, more especially upon the great developments brought about in the flower in the past few years. Thanks to the kindness of Dailledouze Brothers and C. W. Ward, who kindly sent specimen blooms of No. 666, No. 3 and other novelties, and unnamed seedlings, as well as flowers of stand- ard varieties new and old, some very interesting comparisons were po.-fsible, well showing the marked improve- ments in every particular. He consid- ered that the American Carnation So- ciety had given a great impetus to ef- fort in this direction, for whereas but a few years back you could numl)er the raisers of seedlings on the fingers, today almost everyone growing carna- tions did likewise. H. COLORADO SPRINGS, COLO. Cards have been issued announcing the coming mairiage of Miss Viola Mary Clark, daughter of William Clark, the florist, and Mr. Charles Dent Hamer, which is to take place April 4th. Miss Clark ia well known to all in the trade who have visiteil Colorado Springs, she having been in full charge of her father's florist's business for some years, and she impres-ed all she came in contact with as being an ex- ceedingly bright as well as attractive young woman. The trade will lose one of its fairest ornaments and Mr. Wm. Clark will probably now be obliged to devote more attention to his greenhouses and less to mining. FOSTORIA, O.— E. R.

Frueh & Son. who turned out four successive crops in one year from one bench. They com- menced with a crop of clirysanthe- munis. followed by poinspttias. then a crop of lettuce, and the space is now occupied by geraniums, of which more than ten thousand are ready for spring sales. About 3.01 »0 poinseltias are in the sand bed for next season. Old wood being used it is rather slow in callousing, but when it does break it makes a strong plant. Carnations are fine, including Mary Wood. Bradt, Flora Hill and Daybreak. Glacier will be grown in place of old Lamborn. which has played out. A splendid pink seedling is the most profitable flower they have. Roses are grown in solid beds with permanent tile drainage. Mr. Eel Worm has introduced himself, but is meeting with a chilly reception and will soon take his departure. Some well built carnation houses open at the gutters aie replacing the old time narrow and single houses. A large light house for smila.x and aspar- agus was completed before cold weath- er set in. Young stock is in e.xcellent condition. Grohman Bros, have made a great change in their place by adding a store and office, which =ers off the place to decided advantage. M. LANSING. MICH. J. A. Bissinger had to hustle to fin- ish building before cold weather set in, but he did it and has a plant most con- venient to handle and elegant in ap- pearance. Situated on Capitol and an- other main avenue, the double fronted store is shown to great advantage and is kept well stocked from the green- houses at the rear. A handsome dwell- ing was also finished at the same time. M. ALBION, MICH. The Misses Uyslngu- are much pleased with business, which is st;ad- ily Increasing. They have decide:! to enlarge their plant and have secured for the purpose a location upon the best street in the town, where soon a model structure will be built. M. GRAND RAPIDS, WIS.— Mr. L. H. Read has closed out his inteve=ts here and has removed to Fruitdal*. Ala , where he will engage in bulb growing. The Riverdale Seed P^arm is arranging for building anew this season after los- ing their warehouse and greenhouse by fire last January. MR. .1.

Garland: The object of the invention is to provide a valley-gutter for greenhouses which will be so constructed as to combine a stop for the glass and a drip-conductor. Another object of the invention is to so construct the gutter that the devices for fastening the gutter to supports will be below the weather-face of the gutter, thus avoiding perforations of the weather-face and consequent liability to leakage. The nails, screws, or other fastening devices are passed through the drop flanges and into the lower ends of the roof-beams, so that these fastening devices for connecting the valley-gutter to the roof structure are below the weather-faces of the valley-gutter, and consequently the weather-faces of the valley-gutter need not be perforated, insuring against leakage. <::€ -^!^^a{ /A//, 'tai^/:^\ / GEO.

The Weekly Florists' Review. 499 THE FLORISTS' MANUAL. After reading Mr. Wm. Scott's Manual, we wish to say that we con- sider It without equal as a book of reference for busy florists. GEO. M. KELLOGG. Pleasant Hill, Mo. Mr. Scott's superb work, "The Florists' Manual," was indeed worth waiting for. When compared witli the amount of practical information it con- tains, the selling price, $5.00, seems a mere bagatelle. Oakland, Md. H. WEBER & SONS. It is the best book of the kind ever published. There is more in it than in any other book I have ever seen. I am delighted with it. Chicago. JOHN THORPE. The copy of the "Florists' Manual" was duly received. I am very well pleased with same. The more I read it the better satisfied I am with it, and there are one or two articles alone in it that are each worth all you ask for the book, for everything is made so plain and all details are right to the point. I trust you may have a good and ready sale for the same. M. S. WORDEN. North Adams, Mass. The only fault to be found with It is when you get reading it the mid- night oil is liable to run low and you have to go on to gas or reluctantly break off, either going to bed or first taking a look over the houses to see if the temperature tallies with the Manual. GEO. S. OSBORN. Hartford, Conn. We are in receipt of "The Florists' Manual" by Mr. Scott and may say it is the right book for the florist, pub- lished at the right time. It is what we all need. BOBBINK & ATKINS. Rutherford, N. J. Am much pleased with the Manual. It Is just what I have been looking for. Something that we can under- stand, and enjoy reading. M. NAUMAN. Etna, Pa. I am very much pleased with the Manual. It is just what we have need- ed for a long time. N. ZWEIFEL. Milwaukee, Wis. It is certainly a neat and handsome book and does you credit. BENJAMIN HAMMOND. Flshkill-on-Hudson, N. Y. It is a work of art and should be in the hands of all live florists. Its use- ful and instructive contents can not fail to be a benefit to all in the trade. C. C. POLLWORTH Co. Milwaukee, Wis. The book is written for the work- ing gardener, and Mr. Scott's reputa- tion is so well secured that he will find among his gardening friends a host of genuine admirers. As a writer on practical gardening subjects, he is a recognized authority. ♦ • ♦ Mr. Scott has long been an employer and knows what information young gar- deners, or those with little e.xperience, need, and he has his whole subject so perfectly at command that he can give the most desirable and essential information In the clearest language and with satisfactory brevity. The book is a distinct and important gain to the practical garden literature of this country, and it should be in the hands of every gardener, and everyone else engaged or interested in orna- mental horticulture. The price of the book is $5, which seems somewhat high, but for useful information it is worth every cent of it.— Vick's Maga- zine. Am well pleased with the Manual. It is a practical, everyday helper, con- cise and to the point. W. A. KENNEDY. Milwaukee, Wis. Am very much pleased with the book; it is very handy for reference. Macomb, 111. F. E. BONHAM. Unlike so many of our books, it has the very flavor and essence of ac- tual experience. L. H. BAILEY. Ithaca, N. Y. We flnd the book very useful as a reference in answering the many ques- tions about plants that we receive al- most every day. Philadelphia. JOS. KIFT & SON. Detroit, Mich., January 6, 1900.— .Mr. Wm. Scott, Buffalo, N. Y. Dear Sir: The Commissioners of Parks and Bou- levards some time since directed that a library be started of such books as deal with subjects pertaining to park work, and to that end, an order has been given for a number of books, among which is your "The Florists' Manual." After reading this book carefully, I am greatly pleased, and wish to con- gratulate you on the practical manner with which you have treated the sub- ject. This book is placed where it will be accessible to all of our greenhouse em- ployes, where this board expects to reap a reward many times the cost of the book. Respectfully yours, COMMISSIONERS OF PARKS .\ND BOULEVARDS, R. J. CORYELL, Gen'l Sup't. I am more than pleased with The Florists' Manual. OTT BROWN. Cape May City, N. J. Manual to hand. Am well satisfied that it is the best work of its kind ever published. JAS. HARTSHORNE. Joliet, HI. I am greatly pleased with the Man- ual. C. J. REARDON. Lake Geneva, Wis. Enclosed find $.5.00 in payment for the copy of the Florists' Manual. No progressive florist, old or young, can afford to be without the Florists' Man- nual. The old florist needs it, for ref- erence, to aid a defective memory, and the young florist wants it as a guide in this progressive era of the florist's business. J. T. TEMPLE. Davenport, la. THE FLORISTS' IT" Rv WM. .sroT By >\M. SCOTT D S A BOOK of 224. large pages (same size as those of the Florists' Review) and contains about 200 articles on commercial plants and cultural oper- ations, each giving "the meat" only, from the personal experience of a thoroughly p'racti'cal man who is in daily touch with each department of the business and who has that rare quality of being able to tell others what tliey waut to know. The articles are arranged alphabetically, like those in an cncyclopa;dia, and in an instant one can turn to the subject upon which light is desired at the moment. The book is illustrated by over 200 tine half- tone engravings. It is A COMPLETE REFERENCE BOOK FOR COMMERCIAL FLORISTS and is a whole library on practical commercial floriculture in one volume. It is very handsomely and substantially bound in half leather, with specially de- signed title in gold. Price, $5.00 Carriage Prepaid.

MAKI • The Weekly Florists' Review. 503 Cannas and Caladiums. I recommended the starting of Can- nas and Caladiums a tew weeVcs ago and to save room they could be placed in flats and stood over the hot water pipes where the heat was not too violent. They start quickly and grow quickly there, So do not let them get long and spindling. Rather place them on a bench in the light in a house where it is not below 50 at night. They will not grow fast, and you don't want them to, but can keep them two or three weeks in the flats or till Easter has given you the bench i-oom. Poinsettias. It is about time now to think of propagating the poin.settia. This flower was extremely popular last Christmas and I can see no reason why it should not increase in favor, as it is almost alone in its brilliant color, and it is most assuredly prottiable and will be until they are much more grown. We notice in some horticultural notes that some growers are now putting in pieces of the stem for propagating. This hard- wood method is one way, but we by no means approve of it. We used to do that till we found a better way. They root all right, but you don't get as much stock or as good plants as by propagating the green cuttings, and they are rooted so early that they re- quire a large pot or become exhausted. Take the old plants that have been resting under the bench and should have been perfectly dry for the past two months at least, shake off all the soil, and plants that were grown in a 6-inch will now go into a 4-inch. If there is an incli or so of the wood on the end of the stem that is yet quite green, cut it off. Pot in good soil flrmly and place them on a light warm bench and keep syringed. You will soon have a number of breaks, and when they are three inches long cut them off close below a joint and they root easily and surely in the ordinary propagating bench. Leave one joint on the old stem when taking off the cutting, because from that eye you will get another and later cutting. It is by no means the first or even second crop of cuttings that we find the only useful plants. We propagate from the first of May till the middle of August. Last year those struck in August we used in 10 and 12-inch pans and seven plants in a 1J-inrh pan. with heads six inches acros.s' and not over nine inches high, sold out quickly at a most profitable price. Early in April is a good time to start your old plants growing. In the pro- pagating bench there Is nothing but plenty of water and don't let the sun shine on them. When first potted from the sand give them heat and shade. As should be known by every- one the poinsettia is tropical and should not be below 60 at any time. CrimsoT Ramblers. We adopted a method of growing Crimson Rambler roses for this East- er that was not imparted to us, but we are quite pleased with the results and are doing it again and it will be soon time to begin. 1 am aware that the majority of growers lift strong plants from the field in November and by great care in lifting, keeping them in a very cool and shady place and lots of syringing they manage to get them to take hold of the soil without shriveling and force them with suc- cess. The success will depend largely on how quickly they are transferred from the open ground to the pots and how little they suffer from dryness and wilting. If you believe in this plan I would advise you to proc\u'e strong young plants and plant them out on your own soil. If cut back when planting they will make a strong growth this summer and when on your own place you can choose your own day for lift- ing and give them the treatment that insures success, which with plants dug from a nursery and lying around per- haps several days it is hard to do. My plan that has proved a great suc- cess, scarcely one in a hundred coming blind, is to purchase strong plants from a nursery just as soon as they can dig. They will possibly have three or four strong shoots. Cut them back to within four or five inches of the stock, pot them in six, seven or eight-inch pots, according to strength of the plant. AVhen we first potted them we put them under a cool bench till the eyes began to break. A cool house would have done but under the bench was cooler still. When the young growth was an inch or so long we selected half a dozen of the strong- est and rubbed off the rest. As they formed roots they grew strongly and then we put them on a low bench in a light house and with plenty of syringing they made a strong growth. Each growth or cane was trained to a strong slake and by .July was five or six feel higli. In .\ugusl we put them out of doors to ripen, not giving any more water than just enough to keep them from shriveling, and so gradually ripened them off. In November and December they were in a cold pit on their sides. Tlio principal thing to avoid in this method that we found was that after the canes were ripe in September, we had lots of rain, and, the weather be- ing warm, these plump eyes that are to give you the fine spikes of flowers will be inclined to break aiid make a growth that will upset all your previ- ious care. So look out for getting .soaked in the warm fall months. Now this method may be more ex- pensive but you can rest assured you will have every plant full of flowers. A fair specimen of one of them ex- amined today showed a plant with three canes tied around some stakes. The plant is about three feet high above the pot, two feet through, cov- ered to the pot with leaves and bearing twenty - six trusses of flowers just showing color. The Yellow Rambler, treated the same way, turned out nearly three weeks earlier loaded with fiowers but absolutely useless; you don't want one of it. Geraniums. The most formidable job we have facing us just now is getting the ger- aniums into their flowering or selling pot, with us a 4-inch. We usually try to put this off till after Easter, but this }»ear it would be too late and room must be found to begin. We have the credit in Buffalo of having good ger- auiuiiis and get a goou price for them. Most anyone can grow a geranium, but there are a few rules to observe. Don't use a light sandy soil with a lot of leaf mould or rotten manure; use a rather heavy loam, and a fifth or sixth of old hotbed manure is good enough. Firm, solid potting is of the greatest importance. Solid potting induces a firm growth and early and large flowers. I see every day around me the same old style of potting and it produces itching of the epidermis, but what can you do? I am not going to give you a dissertation on shifting, but do avoid that putting the plant in the bottom of the pot and then heap- ing up the soil to be followed by a lot of surface thumbing. The plant should be wedged down flrmly with the new soil equallv divided around all sides cf it. WM. SCOTT. VERBENAS. B. B. asks: "Is there a way to have success with verbenas without putting them in a hotbed?" Yes, most decidedly there is, but the object and result of giving them a hot- bed is that it gives you bench room 504 The Weekly Florists^ Review* MARCH 29, 190 i. from early in April till end of May, at a time when you need every inch, of space. It also gives them a good free growth. The greatest danger, or rath- er drawback, is, if not watched they root into the plunging material and grow fast and strong with no inclina- tion to flower, but this can be obviated by liftin.g up each plant, say every two weeks, which breaks off the roots and throws them into floweh. If you don't want to use the hotbeds, just keep the verben.is on a light bench. Give no shade, but plenty of water, and when setting the plants on the bench for their la.st move, if some easily handled material, such as refuse hops Or sifted ashes, is scattered be- tween the pots (but not beneath them), it will save much watering. A perfect- ly light house with plenty of ventila- tion is all that the verbenas need. WM. SCOTT. AMERICAN GROWN BULBS. We present herewith an engraving from a photograph of a dozen bloom- ing hyacinths from the lot of .'\merican grown bulbs sent for trial to Mr. C. J. Stromback, Lincoln park, Chicago, and which were exhibited at the last meet- ing of the Chicago Florists' Club as reported in our last issue. These bulbs were grown by a Mr. Larrabee, Fairhaven, state of Wash- in so pronounced a manner its preju- dice against true progress. I will admit that I am by nature very sensitive, but it cuts me deeply when the above mentioned contempo- rary deliberately selects two of my best products, which, by the way, are the first chrysanthemums ever produced scientifically, as subjects for dispute, I certainly can see no excuse for doubt- ing the statement of the gentleman from Little Rock, Ark. In truth, I am quite positive that he states the truth, as I have a sport from chrysanthemum Mrs, Edw, Salyer, which your reader.? must know is a twin sister of the va- riety W. H. Chadwick, having been produced from the same seed, which is identical with the Little Hock sport, a magnificent heavy bloom of a deep pink color, as clearly and positively le- fle.xed as V, Morel, high, square shoul- dered, after the type of Mutual Friend, and that from a positively incurved variety. It may not be generally known that the variety which was used as pollen parent in producing the seed from which W. H, Chadwick and Mrs. Edw, Salyer chrysanthemums resulted was that grand .Tap, reflexed variety Niveus, which variety I have found to be more potent than any variety I have ever used. This variety was named Niveus, "us" signifying the Hyacinths from American grown bulbb. ington, and certainly speak well for the possibilities of hyacinth bulb cult- ure in the Pugent Sound country. CHRYSANTHEMUM SPORTS. Editor Florists' Review: You doubt- less will readily understand that I am deeply interested in the discussion that your contemporary has raised anent Mr. Gallagher's sport from chrysan- themum Wm. H. Chadwick. and wish to say that I am very .sorry that a pa- per which is so generally accepted by the trade as up to date has narrowed its "field of usefulness by manifesting masculine, if my memory serves me aright; "um" the feminine in the Latin word. Ni-ve-us — snow white — in the ma.s-culine sense, because of its won- derful vigor and the magnificent finish the variety imparts to its blooms. Now. the truth of the matter is just this: These two varieties, W. H. Chad- wick and Mrs. Edw. Salyer, are unique products, and owing to the arl:ificial conditions under which the seed was produced and the seedling plant de- veloped, they possess as a constitu- tional characteristic a tendency to bud variation, and I am pleased to state that in the method of originating these varieties a new field has been opened to those who are really pro- gressive. While we do not question the statement of your contemporary — that the gentlemen to whom was sub- mitted the question are chrysanthe- mum experts — yet we know of a gen- tleman living in the historic valley of the Susquehanna, who, claiming to be only a chrysanthemum enthusiast, is yet quite positive that the editor of your contemporary, nor yet any one of the chrysanthemum experts whom he has called to his aid in tills matter, can not find a law either in the animal or vegetable kingdom which prohibits the offspring manifesting In mature life the tendencies and characteristics of the male parent, regardless of the race or type or class to which the fe- male parent belongs. In conclusion, will say there are many things in connection with this matter of chrysanthemum growing that even an editor does not know, and if your contemporary was really desir- ous of receiving and imparting infor- mation on this subject, it would not have been amiss for the editor to com- municate with the originator and thus go to the root of the matter. The undersigned can speak of th;se varieties as of his own children and would be pleased to answer any ques- tions on the subject that you or your readers or your contemporary may wish to ask. EDWARD SALYER. Wilkesbarre. Pa., March 20, 1900. LIME IN CARNATION SOIL. Editor Florists' Review: Will you kindly ask some expert to give all in- formation possible in regard to use of lime in carnation soil; how to tell when soil needs it, what amount to use on a given space. If a soil grows a great deal of common sorrel, doe-i it not need lime? -Mso the best treatment for soil in a solid bed that has had cow manure added each year for several years. What would be the effect of bone meal mixed in the soil before housing pinks with cow manure (well rotted)? Also amount to use for a given spice. X. Y. Z. Replying to X. Y. Z.'s letter of in- quiry concerning the use of lime, etc.. I would say that so far as known to the writer the action of lime upon carna- tions has received but slight attention. Some experiments were made at the Rhode Island Experiment Station (An. Rep. R. I. Agr. ICxp. Station, pp. 215- 21C, 1897) upon carnations, in which quite a marked benefit was derived from the lime. Usually soils that are acid are de- ficient in lime. An easj' method of determining the acidity or alkalinity of a soil is to put a small quantity of it in a glass containing some distilled water, and after it has been allowed to dissolve for some time, test it by means of strips of litmus paper. If the solution is acid it will turn blue The Weekly Florists' Review. 505 A Slandinj Wrcatn. litnirs paper red, and if alkaline, red litmr.3 paper will be turned blue. Lit- mus iiaper and distilled water can be procured from your druggist. From one to three tons of air-slaked lime per acre would probably be suffi- cient for a trial, at least. This amount ■would be approximately from S to L'l ounces per square yard. It is prefer- able to apply it in the fall. Soil on which sorrel grows abundant- ly is probably acid, and Is deficient in lime. In the absence of more definite in- formation concerning the condition of the soil in the "solid bed" mentioned, and whether any crop is being grown on it at the present time, it Is impo^'^i- ble to suggest any treatment. Beneficial results should attend the application of bonemeal to soil intend- ed for carnations. It may be applied at the rate of 20 ounces per square yard. WM. STUART. STARTING A SMALL PLACE. I was very much interested in the in- quiry of C. H. on page 473 of the Ueview; also the answers, all of which I fully indorse; but would add one other absolutely necessary requirement to the successful establishment of a florist's business. The writer says: "While starting in the country." etc.. "good soil is of the greatest im- portance, more so than location, but you should look to two things, viz, iluii ilic lion-'-- ',111 !>■ ii'iili running east and west, and thai you have am- ple drainage for stoke holes." Now, it seems to me that none of the.se are as important as that of an unfailing water supply. The best soil in the world would become worthless in the greenhouses without water, (iood stock can be grown In houses rnnning north and south, by the use of receiver and automatic pump boilers can be set on the surface, but without water even the sun's rays are a detri- ment rather than a blessing In the greenhouse. Tliero are in and near your city large establishments where the dearth of water has caused more profanity on the i)art of the growers than all other annoyances combined, and caused them to hope that tlio proprietors who so foolishly located where there was a possibility of a shortage of this neces- sary article might sizzle in purgatory without even a drop of Lake Michigan to cool their parched tongues. So I would say. look first and foremost to the supply of water, and all other things (sunshine excepted) can be carted to you. A. O. T. STANDING WREATH. ■We present herewith an engraving from a photograph of a standing wreath recently arranged by Miss An- nie Kreitliug (with Walter Kreitling), Chicago. As will be noted, mahonia leaves are very effectively used in the lower part of the arrangement, and the treatment of the base seems to us especially good. The flowers used can all be readily rec- ognized in the picture. THE BALTIMORE CLUB. Editor Florists' Review: In your is- sue of March 8 your correspondent. "Rix," seems to have fallen into erroi as to the organization of the Garden- ers' Club of Baltimore in attributing to Mr. W. B. Sands the honor of instigat- ing the organization of that club. Were the principal originator or in- stigator living, the writer would leave him to look after his own laurels, but having passed from this world to a bet- ter, I feel it but just to correct the false impression which I am sure "Rix" must have unintentionally given. The facts are that the late Robert J. Halli- day was head and front of the oi-gani- zation of the club, which fact was recognized by the members in electing him its first president. A short tim? after the club was organized Mr. Halli- day tendered the use of his store for a meeting place, free, and that body me; there until increasing numbers com- pelled them to look for more commo- dious quarters. In justice to the late Mr. Halliday. we hope you will give this space in vour valuable paper, and oblige Ruxton, Md. WM. FRASER. There is no occasion at all for hys- terics as to the reputation, record or "laurels" of Robert J. Halliday. They 506 The Weekly Florists' Keview« MARCH 29, 1900. live in the memory of his loving friends. They are safe in a community which gave him esteem and confidence because he had honesty, conscience, DISEASES OF THE ROSE. Bv Pkuk. Uvkon D. Halsiuli. [Read before the Americap Rose Society at New York.] The earliest trouble of the rose to engage my attention ten years ago, when I first went to the New Jersey Experiment Station, was that due to nematodes. In the report of that year it is recorded that "sickly stunted greenhouse roses have been sent to the station and the cause for the lack of vigor was not far to seek. The roots of the plants were badly knot- ted and the whole root system infested with gall-worms." In the report for the next year (1891) the following is found recorded: "Com- plaints have come to the station from various quarters of a shortness in the hot-house rose crop, and a visit made to Madison and other rose-growing lo- calities convinces me that the trouble is not due to any one enemy. The af- fected rose plants have a stunted, sick- ly appearance; they fail to send up strong shoots, and only develop short stems, bearing pale, sickly leaves. Such plants fail to produce good flow- ers and are comparatively worthless. "The roots of such specimens may be swollen in places and the knots con- tain multitudes of nematode worms. It is of great importance to have the soil used for potting plants or the greenhouse bed free from worms, and of course only plants with roots free from knots and galls should be used. The greatest trouble with the rose plant soil is probably the manure that is used in great abimdance by the growers. It is likely that this manure is infested with the worms. An ex- periment in raising roses in a soil where stable manure is replaced by a judicious mixture of commercial fer- tilizers, is well worth trying. It has been shown, for example, during the present season, that sweet potatoes principle. He was the first president of the Gardeners' Club, as he deserved to be by his position in the trade and his enthusiasm for the organization, and it owed much to him, he having kept it up when others might have failed. But its origin was literally as stated in the Review. It is a matter always known and of record. RIX. Baltimore. can be grown to great profit without the city manure that has been the standard source of plant-food among truck farmers. Also it has been dem- onstrated that potatoes thus grown are less liable to attack of the various rots and decays. If the right mechanical consistency for the roses can be ob- tained in connection with the commer- cial fertilizers, it is quite evident that the soil would be under better con- trol and less liable to various infec- tions." . In 1S92 six pages were given to ne- matodes, thus showing that the study of the subject had been continued. The last words by the speaker upon the subject are in an article written by request for the Florists' Exchange, and published in its issue for .Janu- ary 27th of the present year. From that article the closing paragraphs are quoted: "The point that most inter- ests rose growers is how to get rid of the nematodes. In order to do this it will be of much assistance to kuow where the worms come from — how they propagate and get into the roots of infested plants. These eel worms are much more abundant than gen- erally supposed, and it is only when they are numerous that their mischicl: becomes apparent. In looking up the subject of tomato blight in the south some years ago, it was observed thai the tomato plants were, almost with- out exception, more or less affected with root galls, and the same is true of a large list of plants, both herbace- ous and woody. The nematodes are, as a rule, m.uch more abundant in warm climates than elsewhere, and the lack of these pests in northern gardens is likely due to the freezing of the soil. "The greenhouse furnishes the proper condition for the propagation ot the eel worms, and this naturally raises the question of how they first get into the bed. This may be in one or more ot several ways. They may be already in the roots of plants, but in small numbers, when the plants are placed in the house. To guard against this, the roots should be examined as closely as possible for the galls, when the beds are set, and all galled rose plants excluded. The nematodes may come in with the earth. As before stated, the worms infest a large num- ber of kinds of plants, and it is an easy matter for them to come with the soil. Soil that has not been used for growing plants in the garden is not necessarily free, but if taken from a. pasture or meadow may contain many nematodes. Then again they may be taken into the house with the manure that is used. "The determination of the best pre- caution remains for the practical rose grower. Cold in excess will probably destroy the worms, and liliewise a high temperature is inimical to them. Both these conditions may be impracticable to apply to the soil, the one being im- possible in some cases and the other too expensive. "Recently Doctors Stone and Smith, of the Massachusetts Experiment Sta- tion, have made extensive tests with nematodes, and they conclude their re- port by stating that while many solu- tions are capable of killing the mature worms, the strength and amount necessary to add to the soil is great. "The most effectual, complete and practical method at the present time of exterminating nematodes in green- houses is by heating the soil by means of steam. This can be accomplished without much expense, providing proper attention is paid to the method of applying the steam. "They find the minimum amount of heat necessary to kill the nematodes is 140 degrees F. Rose growers might make the experiment of heating the soil of a small portion of the bed be- fore setting the plants, and satisfy themselves if such treatment will pay. If manure is the chief vehicle of the worms, it may be possible to grow roses without so much of this con- stituent of the rose soil. It may be that roses can be grown with a formed soil, to which all the necessary ele- ments of plant food have been added as commercial fertilizers. Perhaps, however, the pampered rose will not perform its part unless fed in the or- dinary way to which its ancestor has been accustomed. "The fact is that the worms are do- ing much damage and when they are once in a plant there is no known way of driving them out. New conditions may induce the formation of new roots and a sickened plant may revive, but this is not to be expected under such circumstances. "With roses the writer has not found the eel worms in other than the roots, and it is not thought that cut- tings from galled plants will carry the trouble." The Black Spot. I'.Actinoneraa rosae Fr.) The most widespread and conspicu- ous of the one hundred or more fungous diseases of the rose is the Black Spot, due to the Actinonema rosae Fr., and first described in 1826. It is seen that this is an old enemy MARCH 2!i. iswn. The Weekly Florists' Review. 507 Decorations of the Casket containing the remains of the late W. W. Greene, Watertowr, N.

As a result, rose houses badly infested with the black spot show but few leaves and fewer blooms. The microscopic structure of this fungus has been fully considered, with plates, in the first annual report made by Prof. Scribner as Chief of the Sec- tion of Vegetable Pathology of the United States Department of Agricul- ture for the year 1S87. It only needs to be said here that experiments with this fungus have been carried on suf- ficiently by the New Jersey Station to warrant the assumption that it can be controlled by the proper use of fungicides. This trouble may be held in check by the carbonate of copper compound (cupram), using five ounces of the carbonate of copper to three quarts of ammonia and sixty gallons of water. The spraying should be done once a week, using a hose with a nozzle that gives a fine spray. The point should be to wet every part ot the plant, and yet not drench it. If man^ leaves have fallen from the plants they should be gathered up and burned. Some varieties are more liable to the black spot than others. When possible — that is. when all other things remain the same — it is, of course, wise to grow those least susceptible to the disease. It may be said, in passing, that during the year 1S92 the Black Spot was observed by the speaker upon a species of wild rose (Rosa hu- milis). where it was causing the leaves to become spotted and yellow. It is not surprising, for the wild plant was growing but a short distance from a neglected estate where garden roses were badly spotted. The actinonema is a small genus and some of the species are parasites upon the basswood, beech, ash, vi- burnr.m. The one upon the rose is not found upon plants outside of the genus rosa, and there has its favor- ite species and varieties. This is shown in a remarkable manner with some of the cultivated sorts grown "side by side in the same house. It is often very bail upon the "American Beauty." The Rose Leaf Blight. (Sphnerella rosigena Kit) A fungus that disfigures and injures the rose leaves almost as badly as the Black Spot is the Sphaerella rosigena Ell., and commonly called the Rose Leaf Blight. A thoroughly diseased leaflet has large irregular blotches of gray color surrounded by a margin of dark purple. The gray dead center of the spot bears a number of pimples or specks — more numerous and con- spicuous near the center, and in these the spores are produced. Under the microscope the fungus is very different from the Black Spot, and instead is closely related to the leaf blight of the strawberry, which is due to Sphaerella fragariae Tul. In other words, the two blights in ques- tion are as closely related as any two species of the genus rosa. It is im- portant to know these relationships between the various plant diseases, for it is helpful in the struggle in overcoming them. The Leaf Blight of the strawberry is very much more common than that of the rose and any effective remedy found for the former may be of value in checking the rav- ages of the latter. Fruit growers have found this strawberry Leaf Blight a hard one to check, perhaps because of its many forms of spores and the low habit of the plant and the consequent difliculty of readily spraying the foli- age upon the under side. This diffi- culty does not obtain with the rose, and it may be controlled more easily. There is no question but that the standard fungicides should be used when this fungus i.s at work. The Black Rot of the grape, due to Laesttadia Bidwellii (Ellis), is a first cousin to the rose disease in hand, and the fact is mentioned because the grape rot trouble is one of the most common and destructive of the whole list of fungous diseases. There is a stubbornness met with in attempts to control this decay that almost baf- fles wine growers, especially during moist months in the growing season. The Rose Mildew. (Sphaerothera pannosa Wallr.) The most familiar fungous enemy of the rose is the mildew (Sphaerotheca pannosa Wallr.). This disease has 508 The Weekly Florists' Review* aiAKCH 29, 1900. been known for a long time and is quickly recognized by the powdery coat it develops upon the affected parts. It is so rapid in its develop- ment that rose growers are sometimes inclined to assign the cause of the growth to that which is in reality only the condition or conditions favoring the appearance of the mildew. It comes from spores, which, falling upon the surface of the plant, will quickly germinate and produce a cob- webby coating to the foliage. This fungus is so different from the others that have been mentioned that a word is needed in way of explaining the habit of the parasite, as this lies at the foundation of the rational treat- ment of the pest. In the first place, the rose mildew is a surface feeder and only attaches itself to the epi- dermis of the host, through which, by means of small suckers, it derives its nourishment from the deeper seated substance. Being therefore entirely upon the surface, the fine threads of the fungus may grow rapidly and make a mildew patch in a very short time that is easily seen. The exact conditions that favor this development of the spores are of course better known to the rose grow- ers than to me. Some of them claim that they can develop the fungus at will by omitting some essential point in heating, warming, or ventilation, particularly the last. If a certain cur- rent of air is sure to produce the mil- dew, and of this I am not fully able to say, it follows that the spores of the mildew were widely scattered through the house and they started into vigorous growth at those places where the conditions were supplied for such activity. The superficial nature of the mildew is of great importance when the mat- ter of remedies is considered. It is a fungus that is in the air, as it may be termed, in contrast with most of the rose diseases that when active are deeply seated in the plant. The spores are produced as minute deli- cate cells upon upright filaments that arise from the web of horizontal vege- table hyphae. They are easily reached by fungicides and apparently de- stroyed without difficulty. Any of the ordinary sprays will answer for the mildew, but even these need not be resorted to. provided spraying is un- called for by the presence of other rose fungi. In short, if the mildew is the only enemy at hand, it may be kept in check by the use of flowers of sulphur, either dusted ujjon the plants or even the pipes of the greenhouses, the point being to produce a gentle fumigation of the plants and the whole hou.se with the fumes of the sulphur. Professor Maynard, of the Massachusetts Experiment Station, finds that a small kerosene stove is most convenient for this purpose, and the sulphur, by means of it. is boiled in a kettle for two or three hours twice a week, the house being closed during the operation. The only pre- caution is to use no more heat than is sufficient to boil the sulphur, foi; should it catch fire it might damage •the i)larits. Mr. .lohn N. May writes that the best way to get rid of the mildew is to close the house about S o'clock in the morning, run the temperature up to 75, then, with a bellows, fill the house full of sulphur. Let the house remain closed till it reaches S.5 or 90, and afterwards let the air in gradu- ally. A constant circulation of air is likewise recommended for roses at all times. Potassium sulphide, one ounce to tv.o gallons of water, sprayed upon the i)lants has proved an effective remedy. Massee states that "flowers of sulphur mixed with about one-third- of its volume of slaked lime dusted on the foliage prevents the spread of the disease." Gardeners, from long experience, have come to the belief that rose mil- dew is induced by a weak condition of the plant, resulting from partial starvation, irregular or excessive wat- erin.g, and undue exposure to drafts of cold air. The best success in rose growing, as in all other things, at- tends those who give constant, intel- ligent care to the many details. The rose mildew has its close of kin in the mildew of the chrysanthemum, the phlox, pea, gooseberry, grape, cherry, and applQ, and many forest trees, as oaks and chestnuts. Some of them are very injurious, but all can doubtless be controlled by fungicides. The Downy Mildew of the Rose. (Peroiiospora spar^a Berk.) A second form of mildew is some- times troublesome to rose growers. This is a close relative of a similar one upon the greenhouse lettuce, and another is often destructive to spin- ach, while the third is the cause of a soft rot of potatoes. It produces downy or velvety patches upon the leaf, quite unlike the form above de- scril)ed. and the threads run through the substance of the leaf. In this case the fungus will have vegetated for a considerable time before it appears upon the surface, which is entirely for the purpose of producing its multitude of spores borne upon the tips of the many aerial branches. It is evident that the sulphur fumes may cause the destruction of the spores, but nuiy not reach the hyphae that are vegetating within the sub- stance of the host. Such treatment, while tending to check the spread by means of the spores, will not be suf- ficient to arrest the growth of the fungus that is already in the tissue of the host. There is also a second form of spore that is produced beneath the skin ot the leaf and out of the reach of fun- gicides. As a precaution, it is there- fore well to destroy any mildewed leaves, or else when they fall the spores may he set free. It may be saiil that the careful rose grower will gather >ip and destroy the dead foli- age and reduce as far as possible thereby the chances of his plants be- coming diseased from spores that are formed upon or within the old leaves. The Rose Rust. (Phragnudium subcorlicum Schr.) There is a genuine rust of the rose, similar to that of wheat, oats, and other grains, but it is a pleasure to note that it is not common upon in- door roses in this section of the coun- try. It has been sent to me at various times as a troublesome pest upon roses grown for ornament in the flower gar- den and lawn. In "Plant Diseases by Massee." a new book Just published in London, this rust is figured and de- scribed as follows: "A troublesome pest to cultivators of roses, attack- ing more especially hardy hybrid va- rieties. All three forms of the fungus are produced on the same host. The aecidia appear in late spring on the leaves and young shoots, forming powdery, orange patches, and often cause distortion of the shoots. About midsummer the patches become deeper in color, owing to the formation ot uredospores. Finally the teleuto- spores or resting spores are produced as minute black dots on the under surface of the leaves. "The appearance of the disease in spring depends entirely on the pres- ence of teleutospores in the neighbor- hood; it is therefore necessary to col- lect and burn all fallen leaves in the autumn. Plants that have been at- tacked the previous season should be thoroughly drenched with a solution of sulphate of copper in water — 2 ounces in 3 gallons — in early spring before the buds expand. The soil rotmd the plants may also be sprayed with the same solution. Dilute Bor- deaux mixture, or ammoniated car- bonate of copper solution checks the aecidium and uredo stages. "The fungus also grows on wild roses, and these may become a source of infection unless precautions are taken." American rose growers are doubt- less familiar with the orange colored powdery masses in early summer which accompany the malformations of stem and leaf, followed by the dark almost coal black patches later in the season. When a shrub is badly in- fested there is little better to do than cut the whole plant away close to the ground. This fungiis is closely re- lated to the one upon the blackberry and raspberry, causing the destructive rust of those plants. It has been shown that the fungous hyphae pene- trate all parts of the blackberry plants even the roots, and the rose grower may not find that severe prun- ing will rid the plant of the pest when it is thoroughly infested. Therefore, as with the raspberry rust, it may be necessary to root out and destroy the rose bush and start again with a healthy plant. This rose rust is a good illustration of the great depth to which a fungus will penetrate in the host and the difficulty of eradi- MARCH 29, 1900. The Weekly Florists' Review. 509 eating the same. It goe.s without say- ing that ordinai-y sprays will !)(> of little curative effect upon a i)lant when the living vegotine threads of its fungus parasite penelratrs to all parts. In California the reader has seen the rust upon roses much worse than here — when every leaf upon some shruhs was badly affected. In such a warm climate, wlien the plants retain their foliage thi'oughoul the year, the dark winter spores, not being needed, are omitted, and the orange colored form of summer is perennial. There are many of the rusts in the warmer parts of the earth that grow continu- ously, while the same kinds of plants with us are exempt, presumaldy due to the uncongenial nature of our cli- mate. In passing it may be said that the chrysanthemum rust produces only the summer form in the green- house, and the hardy out-of-door sorts seem to be exempt from the dis- ease. The Rose Anthrachose. (Gloeospnriuni rosae Hals.) The chief feature of this disease is the scarcity of leaves. Instead of a plant with foliage upon all the canes, there are but few leaves upon some stems, while others are entirely de- foliated. The whole plant is infested with the fungus, and this parasite so saps the vitality and interferes with the processes of growth that the leaves, even if they were healthy in themselves, are unable to perform their work. The fact is that the leaves are infested with the anthracnose fila- ments, and soon after falling, if not before, they will show the spore for- mation of the anthracnose fungus, Gloeosporium rosae Hals. In general appearance and habits of growth this fungus is quite similar to the one causing the anthracnose of the rasp- berry, named Gloeosporium venetum; possibly it is identical and if so the presence of the one is a menace to the host of the other. The rose plant is most likely at- tacked while young, or at least it is to be presumed that the young por- tions of a plant are most susceptible. The attack is from without, and the spores tailing upon the surface of the young, tender canes, and leaves as well, there germinate and produce, in a short time, an affected spot. If this takes place in a cane, it is natural to suppose that the portion above the infested part will be girdled, in so far as the attack is great, and this will interfere with the direct support by the whole plant of the part beyond the diseased place. Besides this, the fun- gus spreads, and more rapidly, in the direction toward the tip of the cane. It is not unusual for a diseased plant to send up apparently healthy shoots from near the base of the stem, these in turn to become infested. Roses that have a sickly color to the foliage, with the leaves falling prematurely, especially from the tips of the canes, may be suspected as vic- tims of the*" anthracnose. A hand lens should be sufficient to assist in finding pinkish blotches upon tin- leaves, particularly those that lie upon the moist earth beneath the haU'-di>- folialcd iilant. Similar but better de- lined pimples usually occur upon some portion of the cane. It will be gathered from these re- marks that rose anthracnose is a spe- cific disease, caused by a well defined fungus that grows rapidly from spores, penetrates the substance of stem and leaf, and finally causes defoliation and death of cane. The anthracnose, lie- cause of its multitude ot spores pro- duced in pimples on leaves, particu- larly fallen ones, and the canes, and the ease with which they are trans- ported by water, also rapidity of ger- mination, all combine to make this fungous enemy of the roses very con- tagious. This class of fungi in which the Gloeosporium belongs is amenable to treatment by fungicides. A coating of the Bordeaux mixture or cupram upon the leaves and stems prevents in large degree the entrance of the germs. Therefore all rose-houses where there is any anthracnose should be sprayed with one of the above compounds. It goes without further saying that all plants that are nearly leafless from this cause should be either cut down ■(' to the soil or thrown bodily into the burn-heap. The Rose Leaf Spo'. (Cercospora rosaeicola Pass.) Somewhat similar to the leaf blight previously mentioned is the leaf spot due to the fungus Cercospora rosaei- cola Pass. This produces spots that are of a gray color with a dark pur- ■ border and the spores are long and borne in little tufts upon the surface of the central portion of the dead areas. In microscopic structure the leaf spot and the leaf blight are very different, the former having the spores upon the tips of threads which pre- viously have grown through the sto- mates. The leaf blight has the spores borne internally in small pits and are poured out in a viscid coil when the part is moistened. These facts are given to show that while to the naked eye the differ- ences between the two herein named fungi are not apparent, under the microscope they are widely unlike and the treatment that will work admir- ably for one may not answer for the other. As yet this leaf spot is not com- mon, but when found at all is often quite destructive. From the nature of the fungus it is inferred that it is to ''e easily controlled by fungicides. For example, its cousin, Cercospora beti- cola Sacc, is the common beet leaf spot with which there have been many experiments, and it is found very amenable to treatment with the Bor- deaux mixture and other standard fungicides. Black Speck of Roses. ( I^ilo[)ijlus cry^talinus Todf.l Complaints have come to the writer from time to time with regard to a speck upon the rose plants. This trouble is due to the indirect, and not the intentional, action of a fungus, and in this respect is quite unusual and merits a word of consideration. The lungus that is the source of trouble is somewhat closely related to the coarse one that thrives upon bread, and is very damaging to sweet potatoes in the storage bin, causing the soft rot. In short, it is one of the molds and grows ujjon organic substances, and not, as before stated, u[)on the rose. The fungus in question is Pilobolus crystalinus Tode, and forms in large numbers upon the manure used to cover the bed where roses are grow- ing. As it matures, a dark oval ball or sac is produced, filled with spores of the pilobolus. This black sac is supported upon a swollen stalk rising from the surface of the manure, and when mature the enlarged portion, filled with liquid, suddenly forces off the spore sac and collapses, throwing the ball of spores into the air. These dark spore sacs are covered with moisture as they are discharged and will adhere to any object which they may strike in their flight. The writer has examined houses where this fungus has developed ex- tensively upon the manure and count- ed as many as a hundred specks to the square inch upon the white woodwork surrounding the bed. An examination of the perpendicular sash in dividing walls in greenhouses will show, from the numerous spore specks adhering, that the height to which the dark sacs are thrown is fully ten feet; but there is a rapid falling off in the number upon any given area when the height of two or three feet is reached. These specks, of course, from what has been written, may be upon any plant that is within range, but the.v do no further harm than the disfigure- ment thereby produced. They are more often met with in rose houses, because there the manure is more fre- quently left upon the surface than with other kinds of plants. If a remedy is sought it may be found in dispensing with the manure on the surface, stirring it at frequent intervals to prevent the fungi from I ^uig time to mature their dark shells containing the '-shot" in the form of spores, so to speak, or by using some fungicide as a spray upon the manure that will kill the" mold. However, as a rule the bombardment does not last long and no vigorous measures are generally called for in this case. An illustrated article by the writer upon this subject appeared in the American Florist for April 30. 1S9S. Bronzing of the Rose. As a last trouble to be mentioned at this time, attention may be called to a peculiar discoloration of the leaves 5J0 The Weekly Horists' Review. MARCH 29, 1000. that has been termed "bronzing." The affected foliage takes on a brown hue and the leaflets may fall away. With some varieties, as l,a France, it is much more frequently met with than upon most other varieties. It is not demonstrated as being of fungous or- igin, and probably is due to a struc- tural weakness permitting the skin to become scalded or at least injured u great exposure to the sun. If this be the fact, the remedy seems to lie in a more complete shading ot the plants. Of two varieties equal in all other points, the one that is most nearly free from the "bronzing" should be chosen. Conclusion. In conclusion it may be said that the purpose of this paper has been to point out some of the characteristics of the leading fungi injurious to the rose, with remarks upon the remedies for the same so far as they have been determined. As a rule these diseases thrive best under conditions of too great moisture, accompanied by ill ventilation and draughts of cold air. One cannot say that they are entirely creatures of neglect, but frequently they come in their greatest strength when culture has not been according to the sound principles of healthy vegetable growth. Let it not be forgotten, however, that fungous diseases are contagious, and the virus tor inoculation passes from plant to plant by the currents of air and may drip from leaf to leaf in the water that falls from the nozzle of the hose. Great care needs to be taken not to introduce an enemy with new stock, and the grower should be swift to discard or destroy that which is not healthy. The true rose grower will make it his highest ambition to grow superior plants, for the profit, it may be, but first of all because his heart is in his work, and I do not know of anything one can be more proud of tnan of roses — the queen of all flowers, which, as loved pets, have willingly and gener- iced objects of the highest '■y and excellence in response to tender, sympathetic and loving care. AMERICAN ROSE SOCIETY. The Exhibition. The first exhibition of the American Rose Society opened Tuesday of this week in the Eden Musee, New York, and it was the finest rose show ever seen in thi.s country.

N. Y., and Benj. Dorrance. Dorranceton, Pa., respectively. The Lincoln prize, for the exhibitor having the finest roses in the show, went to E. M. Wood. There was a total of 15,000 roses on exhibition. The Election. At the annual election all the old officers were re-elected, and J. H. Tay- lor was made vice-president. SAN FRANCISCO. Various Items. Business has been very slack this week with most of our stores, and such a state of trade during Lent is not un- usual. We are now in the midst of a warm spell of weather that affects vio- lets very much, making them very scarce, and poor as to quality. Lilac and gladiolus are now in the market, also a few varieties of Iris, narcissus poeticus and anemones. Carnations are coming in more plentiful and are improving as to quality each day. Many of our growers will to' a sample ot the new eastern carnations this year, So our carnation fanciers will have a chance to gaze upon a Lord, a Mar- quis, a Lawson and an Olympia. Roses are slightly better as to quality and are plentiful. A few nice plants ot azaleas, in mixed colors, are in market this week, but go slowly. Harrisii will be plentiful for Easter sales and ths quality seems to Improve right along. Prices: American Beauties, $1.50 to $3.50: Brides, Bridesmaids, 35 cents to $1; Meteors, 25 cents to $1; Testouts, Kaiserins. 50 cents; Gontiers, Sie- brochts, 25 to 50 cents; Perles, 50 cents; Cecil Brunners. 12^^ cents per dozen. Carnations, Hobarts $1. Croak- ers 75 cents. Flora Hill 50 to 75 cents. Bradts and Gold Nugget 35 to 50 cents, Scott 25 cents, Ponias 10 to 20 cents per dozen.

Another geranium, a sport from Caillebotte, .whose good qualities are being carefully studied, has been named for the Hon. Mr. Johnson, mayor of Denver. A new shed has been added to the conservatory, which saves much an- noyance and does away with all 'the chaos that heretofore existed. The old shed has been cleaned up. repainted, and fitted up for a parlor and reception hall. The walls and chimneys were repaired and painted; the plants have been nicely arranged to give them a presentable appearance; the grounds around have been cleaned up and the roads graveled just as predicted by the writer last fall. Space on the west side will be used for frames as the plants need more room. The winter has been remarkably mild, a typical Colorado winter. Hardy roses have wintered well without cover: tea roses are green near the roots; trees have not suffered in the least and our hopes are that a late frost will not injure the fruit buds this year, which are well advanced. Notes. A visit to Mr. Walters' greenhouses, at Harmon, disclosed the tact that he is growing about 3,000 dozen of lettuce, which is in good shape except some Denver Market and Cincinnati, which appear to burn under glass when near maturity. Parsley is growing luxuri- antly and this one crop alone pays for the help, as Mr. Walters quotes. Cauli- flower has just been planted; radishes fit to pull; tomatoes in bloom and with half ripened fruit. Last fall Mr. Wal- ters added a small pavilion-conserva- tory, where he keeps flowering plants for show. In all he operates about 25.000 feet of glass. Daniels & Fisher expect to spend about $3,000 in rebuilding their houses at Mud Lake. Their Red Leaf con- servatory (formerly Givins' place) is in fine shape. Al Seipp, who is at- tending to the latter place, reports Ju- bilee carnation as fine as he ever saw it and is in high glee over the other varieties of carnations as well as the palms, ferns, etc., all of which are in excellent condition. Oliver Wheatly, of the Curtis Park Floral Co., reports a big order for fu- neral designs. Mr. Wheatly believes in expansion — he weighs about 225 pounds. F. A. HAENSELMAN.

MARCH 29, 1900. CHICAGO. The MarkeU The supply of roses has considerably increased and only superior s^hipping stock will bring quotations, the re- mainder going to the fakir, and the weather has of late been rather un- favorable for the operations- of the street men. However, there is a splen- did shipping demand for the season. Prices range from |4 to $S. Of white carnations there are not nearly enough to meet demands, and prices are very Hrm. Good grades of colored sorts are also moving well, but at figures a shade lower than the whites. Fancy. $.3 to $4, with an occa- sional sale at $5. Good commons, $1.50 to $2.50. Poor grade colored go to the fakirs, but at very fair prices, con- sidering quality. Lilies are moving very freely, possi- bly partly due to the shortage of white carnations, and general bulb stuff is going better. Violets are still in the dumps and most sales have to be forced. For- merly, when the thermometer was above 32 degrees violets could always be moved to advantage at this season. Nevertheless the violet grower has made a better average than ever dur- ing the season. The dark sorts, such as Farquhai and Marie Louise, bring a third more in price than the lighter ones, such as Campbell, all through the season. Still some growers find Campbell the most profitable, for it begins blooming earlier in the fall and can be thrown out by Easter to make way for bedding stock. The supply of everything is large for the season, but the unusually good demand takes care of most everything, and it would appear that the long promised prosperity has at last reached the florist. As regards supply for Easter, Wal- ter Heffron, manager for E. C. Am- ling, thinks it will be about right, with probably les.s roses than at present and more caniations, as the weather we are now having is bringing out roses faster than the carnations. Bassett & Wa.'ihburn say their roses are just coming in crop again and they expect to have a good supply for East- er with rather a shortage of carna- tions. They fear also a shortage of lilies. Their trade during Lent has been much the best in their whole bus- iness experience. Kennicott Bros. Co. look for a good supply in all lines and anticipate a rec- ord breaking trade. They also report the best business they ever knew dur- ing Lent and find their March business ahead of last year, even with Easter out and still to come. Fine pansics that went quickly last year move rath- er slowly this spring. Peter Reinberg, Wietor Bros, and the other large growers have all large- ly increased their cut of roses. Varjouy Items. Weiland & Risch have their whole- sale store at 59 Wabash avenue fitted up and are about ready for business. S. S. Skidelsky, Philadelphia, is in town. Beginning next Monday the price of coal from the Illinois mines will be ad- vanced 25 per cent. Mr. and Mrs. O. P. Bassett left last Saturday for a ten days' sojourn at West Baden, Ind. Mr. H. S, Harman, representing E. H. Hunt, started last Monday on a trip through western territory. This house reports business first class in every department. Kennicott Bros. Co. are receiving out-door grown Trumpet Major nar- cissu.s from southern Illinois. McKellar & Winterson are carrying a very complete line of ribbons and crepe paper for Easter demands and are doing a heavy business in each of their thousand and one departments. Bowling. In response to an invitation from Prefidenc Hartshorne, of the Florists' Club, the bowlers took the 6:30 Rock Lsland train for .loliet last Saturday evening to try their skill with that of a team selected from among the at- taches of the Chicago Carnation Com- pany in a friendly bowling match. On the way down Captain E. F. Winterson purchased the dining car and present- ed it and its contents to his fellow pil- grims, and when Joliet was reached there was little left except a few hot boxes. The car was cut off the train there and they were still enjoying the remains when Mr. Hartshorne entered and said: "Come on, boys; everything in .Joliet is yours. See my star! Ev- eryone that comes here don't have that kind of a pass!" After lining up and calling the roll the boys marched up the middle of the street, sidewalks being too small for the crowd, and found that Mr. Harts- horne had rented a fine set of alleys for the night. Here three hot games were played, the Chicago team win- ning out "by the skin of their feet," for the C. C. Co. had a strong team, one Savage member passing the 200 mark. Following are the scores: CHICAGO FLORISTS' CLUB. K. F. Winterson 134 137 137 Jno. Degnan 157 13S 157 Geo. Stollery 116 12S 1S2 F. Stollery 151 13« lii> W. Kreitling 160 129 151 C.

"Jackson's Dope" will be long carried in the memory of the visitors, but in memory only. Mr. Hartshorne sang one of his fetching songs and Mr. Baker brought melody from the piano. "Walter Kreitling was in his prime and his stories were sublime." And Mr. Degnan's song, "General Jackson Had an Army," was done to a turn. Ed. Winterson did a double twist on the sidewalk and nearly broke a slab. In addition to tho.se who bowled the party included L. H. Winterson and Mr. Scott. At 5:30 a. m. the party took the train for Chicago, after having voted the Joliet boys a team of jolly good fellows, and at 7 a. m. were home. For what happened on the train ask Walter Kreitling. BUFFALO. Chilly, blustering weather continues throughout the month, but it is taper- ing off slowly, and if surely we will be satisfied. We will take anything we get now, but oh! pray let it be warm and balmy from the 10th to 16th of April! Some sure signs of spring are notice- able. The first robin was heard by the writer on the 24th, hut that's not infallible. Neither is the foreign and domestic drummer in considerable quantities, because both will survive a severe chill or frost. The street piano and hand organ is as sure a sign as any and as I listen to a rather superior article of the former grlnamg out the overture to the opera of "Martha," or "Mary Anne," from the seventh story of the EUicott Square, with a bright, clear sky and a lovely view of a very miscellaneous wash from some pooi tenements across the street, with the long Niagara street leading out beyond your vision and the help of steam heat in your office, you can really believe that spring is coming. Judging from the way flowers are cleaned up at the wholesale mart of W. F. Kasting, business generally must be quite fair. Mr. K. receives daily great quantities of carnations from many surrounding points, but they are all cleaned up by night. Violets are sadly overdone. This enterprising young man has put in a bid for the shrubs, plants, bulbs, etc.. wanted by the Pan-.\merlcan Company for the embellishment of the grounds, and as his offerings represent the very be.st firms in the country, I hope he will be successful. There Is beginning to be a lively In- quiry for Easter plants, for there Is no reason to doubt but what plants will be the leading article at this great flower festival, as it has increasingly been for several years past. From present reports lilies will be decidedly scarce. The disease is to blame. There will be a great quantity of Rambler roses. The great majority of them are very poor in quality. We hear that witii many the most of the azaleas are MARCH 29, 1900. The Weekly Florists' Review. 513 gone, so those that have a good supply of attractive plants are in sliape to realize good prices. Mr. Cowell paid ns a vLsit on hi.s re- turn from the Everglades. WiHi due precaution he escaped or overcame all snake bites, both of the Florida and Spanish reptiles. He procured what he went for, some fine specimens of the Palmetto and other pulms, which will in course of time adorn the mag- nificent con.sorvatories of South Park. Mr. C. F. Christenson, who is just about to start on the erection of six new houses on upper Main street, one mile northeast of the city line, took a flying visit to New York, and, chap- eroned by Charles Weathered, visited the leading places. If you have only the leisure to listen, he is able to de- scribe the phices of Mr. Ernst Asmus and Messrs. Dailledouze from the stoke holes to their ridge pieces, with all their contents. "My dear boy. I was there four hours, and three of us had twenty bottles of beer," and so this gurgling, bubbling discourse goes on. Memories that were impressed on the cranial nerves through that liquid me- dium are set free by the same agency, and in his description of "6G6" or Mrs. Bradt you almost get the flavor of hops. Several gentlemen of note have passed through of late, chief among them being Mr. J. Austin Shaw, whom it is a great pleasure to see entirely recovered from his sad accident at Detroit; Mr. Killen, of New York; M ■. .Van Waveren, representing Segers Bros., and several others. W. S. ST. LOUIS. Market Conditions. There is little change in the cut flower market, except that the stock on hand is considerably larger than it has been for some time, and lots ot it has accumulated in the commission houses. A few good shipping orders the latter part of the week made some room in the ice boxes of the whole- salers. Roses are a glut just now and the quality is very good. Carnations are still short in supply and the demand tor this flower seems greater than ever before. Bulb stock is also in good shape, but only fair in demand. Val- ley very fine. Kuehn made a shipment last week of 1,000 of the finest ever seen in this market. Violets have seen their best days. They are small, but plenty of them are coming in yet from both local and southern growers. The weather continues warm and spring - like and the plant shipping trade has commenced to boom. Easter stock seems in good shape all along the line and from appearances there will be plenty of it at all the growers'. Extra fine Beauties bring ?4 per dozen; others from $1 up to ?3. They are not overplentiful, though more are coming in now than for some time. Other roses, such as Meteors, Brides and Maids, are very fine, and bring from $2 to $(!. Meteors, especially, are very plentiful. Perlcs and Wootton^ sell at from $2 to $1, but are not so plentiful as the other varieties. Car- nations are in good demand and all varieties bring frimi $1.5u to '$'S. Some fancy sto<;k .sold for $:{ and $4. The market has not been over.stocked with this Ilower since the first of the year. Bulb .stuff is quite plentiful, llarrisii and callas sell from $10 to ,$12. .'JO; tu ■ Iip.% $2 to $-1: v.illey, $4 to $1); Homan.s and paper whites, from $2 to P; Dutch hyacinths, $:; to $4; freesia, $2, and Daffs, $3 and $4. Violets are selling slowly, with plenty of them on hand. Californias sold as low as 25 cents per 100; small single and southern stock, any old price. Sweet peas are fine and not too many in yet; $2 and $3 is the price. Smilax is a little scarce this week; price from $10 to .$12. .50 per 100 strings. Notes. Visitors in town were Walter Mott, representing H. A. Dreer, Philadel- phia. Walter always does a big busi- ness in this city, as he is very popular with the St. Louis trade. Henry Emundt and E. W. Guy, ot Bellville. spent a day with us the past week. Mr. Emundt reports a nice lot of H:u- risii tor Easter, and Mr. Guy a fine lot of Astilbe japonica also for p;astpr trade. . The St. Louis public parks will b? without the usual music this summer, as the appropriations are too small, and about the only one that will have music will be Tower Grove park, as under the terms of the will of the late Henry Shaw the city is required to ex- pend $25,000 annually on this park. It has been the custom of the trustees to pay for music out of this fund, which can not be diverted, even for the sa\e of making political capital out of it. Hudson & Co., our new wholesale firm, received some very fine carna- tions the past week, which sold on sight. Kuehn and Berning both report a very good shipping trade, with plenty of stock of all kinds on hand for a heavy demand. Their stock is all ct the very best quality. C. C. Sanders reports that he is very busy now with tree planting, with plenty of orders to keep all hands busy for some time to come. The regular meeting of the club will take place Thursday afternoon, April 12, at 3 o'clock. President Ammann would like to have all members pres- ent. Those who have not made returns for tickets for our late euchre can do so at this meeting, as the committee would like to make a final report. "Easter Plants" will be the subject for discussion at this meeting, in which all local growers will take part. Bowling. The members of the bowling club rolled six games on Monday night. Five members were present and some fine rolling was done. The busy season with the growers is now on and not until after the spring trade is over can we expect a full at- tendance.

Trade remains about the same, al- ways a little something doing, and a rushing business is expected for Easter. Prices: American Beauties, $1 to $6 per dozen; Brides, Maids, Kaiserins, Meteors and Golden Gate, $4 to $10; Liberty, $10 to $2.5; Morgans. $4 to $S; Perles, $3 to $6; Gontlers, $3 to $4.

Notes. A number of the department stores are having their annual spring sales of plants, bulbs, etc., and are offering stock at ridiculously low prices. Albert WoUemate is again in the market with some fine Phlox divari- cata. There should be more of this plant grown, as it makes an excellent plant for Easter. J. Kohler & Sons, Main and Bridge streets, Frankford, are sending in some very fine miniature hyacinths, in pots, which sell readily at $1, and tulips, in flats, which are disposed of at a good profit. There is some fine North Carolina arbutus in the market. Our visitors the past week were Geo. A. Smith. Baltimore; Benjamin Dur- fee, Washington; Mrs. Macklin. Har- risburg. Pa.; Mr. Smith, of Smith & Fetters, Cleveland; W. A. Knott, Cape May, N. J.; Charles B. Sparks, Wil- mington. Del.; George Cook, of Small & Sons, Washington. The Spring Show. The Pennsylvania HorticulLUral So- ciety ^ave their annual spring show from March 20 to 23. While the en- tries were not so numerous, the qual- ity made up for it. The bulbous plants 5J4 The Weekly Florists' Review* MARCH 29, 1900. were in fine shape and so nearly equal in quality that the judges found it rather difficult in making their decis- ion. The following were the principal exhibitors in bulbous plants: .Joseph Hosley, Joseph McGregor and Jolin Mc- Cleary. The first and second prizes were evenly distributed. The classes for cinerarias brought out twelve exhibits. George Graham, gardener to Charles Hartshorne. cap- tured first prize; J. H. Jones, second. Both exhibits consisted of very fine plants. George W. Brown took first prize for genistas; Joseph Hosley, second. John Hobson took first on six plants of azaleas; John McCleary first for sin- gle specimen. \Vm. Robinson came off with first lionors for callas. Thomas Long, gardener to G. W. Childs Drexel, carried off the honors for specimen ferns. These were ex- ceptionally fine. Joseph McGregor's exhibit of gera- niums was the feature of the show, carrying off first for six plants, first for specimen, and also first for six new varieties. G. W. Brown exhibit a fine specimen plant of Bougainvillea glabra Sanderi- ana, for which he was awarded a cer- tificate for culture. Joseph Hosley staged a large group of flowering plants consisting of cine- rarias. Marguerites, begonias and abu- tilons, and got a certificate for cult- ure. The competition in cut roses was very keen. The class for twenty-fivo long-stemmed Beauties brought out seven entries. Myers & Samtman, first; Joseph Heacock, second. The other competitors were John Burton, L. Pennock, Adolph Parenwalt and George Anderson. The contest was so close that it took some time for the judges to decide. Joseph Beavis was first on Bridesmaid.s and Brides: John Burton was first on Meteor; .Toseph Heacock, second. Robert Scott & Son secured a silver medal for Liberty and the certificate of the society for their new rose Robert Scott, which is a hy- brid tea. The show was a little too early for Lilium Harrisii. There were only two exhibitors. Joseph McGregor was awarded first prize for the best speci- men; Joseph Hosley first for best six. R. BOSTON. Market Conditions. Trade in anything that could be uti- lized in funeral work has been remark- ably brisk, caused by the ravages of the grip. Carnations are scarce, prices readily advanced to 4 cents on good ordinary kinds. Prices on other lines were nomi- nal; perhaps lower on strictly red goods. Small white flowers very scarce at times during the week. Violets even seemed to feel the spirit of the times and sold better by spells. The demand for larger grades of roses was limited the greater part of the time; for small- er grades the demand was never stronger for the same length of time. Notes. No special excitement can be chroni- cled outside a Jewish interpretation of Marquis of Queensbury rules, in the Park street market, which had to bs referred to the judge for settlement. Too recently for particulars comes news of the burning of Mr. Rich- wagen's greenhouses at Woburn. But as they were badly situated in respect to water to fight the flames, heavy damages are feared. James Galvin is employed at J. W. Newman & Sons'. The spring exhibition at Horticul- tural Hall was one of the most inter- esting ever given, Imt your correspon- dent's limited time, knowledge of the subject And proper vernacular for its expression prevents justice to it for your columns as far as commercial value of new specimens might go. A number of well known commercial growers came in upon the premium list, those in mind just now being W. H. Elliott, W. S. Ewell, J. W. Howard, M. A. Patten, M. R. Gushing, E. N. Peirce & Sons, and I probably deserve forgiveness for forgetting one or two. P. Welch and wife, Alex, and Robert Montgomery, E. M. Wood and daugh- ter and F. R. Mathison and wife, are attending the flower show in New York. B. T. BALTIMORE. Personal and Trade Notes. Mr. J. H. Brummel, near Catons- ville, has been ill for ten days with erysipelas, but is out again and at work. We often hear of "the scholar in politics," and this gentleman's posi- tion is one analogous — he is the schol- ar in floriculture. Not only in the science of botany and in the art of horticulture, but as an all around man of learning he is distinguished in the trade as a walking encyclopedia. It is no disparagement, indeed, to his fellow craftsmen to assert that, since the death of the lamented Wm. T). Urack- enridge, he is about the only one in the business here thoroughly informed in systemic and structural botany. For practical knowledge of the flora of this region his experience is singular, and the botany classes of the Johns Hopkins University and the Tramping Clubs of our city often avail of his services as a guide to the localities of the scarcer genera and varieties. He can locate with his finger on the map and lead to the spot where every rare plant has its habitat. No steamer of the regular lines, or tramp roamer of the seas from Europe or the antipodes, brings to our port in cargo or ballast a plant, useful or noxious, but he is quick to spot the stranger. Nor does he know plants only by appearance and name; of every one possessing econo- mic or medicinal qualities, he is fully informed as to locality, uses and treat- ment. A year or two ago, when the American Pharmaceutical Association met in this city, he collected, arranged and labeled with great foresight, labor and care an exhibit which wa.s almost complete, as it was certainly unique, of the plants of this section employed in medicine and the arts. Mr. Brummel was long employed in the United States Department of Agri- culture at Wash'ng:on. and when Pres- ident Grant sent the commission to ex- amine and report upon the resources of San Domingo, he was appointed botan- ist on the staff and made a thorough exploration of that island. But it must not be thought that it is only on horticultural and botanical subjects that he is posted, for he is well read in tlie whole range of science, possesses a fine library of reference, and keeps steadily up to the day in the great procession of discoveries in the sciences and inventions in the arts, but especially, as is natural, in those per- taining to his chosen pursuit of gar- dening. Mr. Brummel has been engaged for many years in the florists' business, with a local market at his green- houses on the Frederick road and a stand in one of our principal markets. At his place may always be round some curious and rare things not apt to he seen at other establishments where commercial aspects only are consid- ered. In the market he is the universal arbiter as to what is good or poor, hardy or tender, and is appealed to to settle every question which comes up amongst the hundreds of frequenters of the flower stalls as to treatment of plants of every kind. Physically he is a fine specimen of robust manhood, with an aptitude and capacity still for all-day walks, over hill and dale, and along the shores of river and bay. With unflagging enthu- siasm, a well-spring of information that never goes dry, and an ever-pres- ent spice of humor and good storlea which is unfailing, in any assemblage he is an agreeable and profitable com- panion. Mr. James Pentland, the venerib'e senior of our florists' trade, has been lately seen in a new role; he has been for some two weeks posing for his bust before the pupils of the Rinehart School of Sculpture. He is a promi- nent member of the committee on schools of an and design of the Mary- land Institute, which manages this school of sculpture, and was requested by the director to give the students an opportunity to model his life-size por- trait in c'ay. his s-trong f-ic^ and patriarchal appearau'e peculiarly fit- ting him for this. Mr. P. bear.^ a re- markable resemblance to the portraits of General Andrew Jackson, and amongst his intimates i-; frequently saluted by that name. Some of the work of the sculptors is s.ud to be ex- ceedlingly lifelike and artistic, and it MARCH 29, 1900. The Weekly Florists' Review, 515 will shortly be exhibited to the public. To the most meritorious work will be awarded a prizo of $125 and to the sec- ond best $75. We have a "little Scotland" localized on the Old York road, a thriving annex of the city, where several florists of the thrifty Scutch race are licwiug their way to fame and fortune — espe- cially fortune! William Christie is tlie wit of the trade. He is not continual- ly getting off, nor trying to get off, smart sayings and funny stories. b\il once in a while one slips out. unex- pected - like, which brings down the house with a roar. Back of his droll sayings he has shrewd, hard sense, whicb gives effect to his tun. He is a wholesaler and retailer; grows roses, callas. bedding plants, bulbous stuff, carnations and chrysanthemums; is always busy, always cheerful, makes the best of his opportunities and seems to be succeeding in his remodeled and improved place, as he deserves to do, by industry, Scotch grit and keeping at it. For general capacity, sound judg- ment, candor of expre.-;sion and honest repartee, none in the trade stands higher than Robert L. Graham. From modest beginnings he has forged along, building each year a new house or two, and almost swearing he will never build another, until he has now an establishment crowded with plants for cut flowers. Easter stuff and bed- ding out, which gives him all he wants to do on fast days and feast days, his store on Monument street, in the city, presided over by Mrs. Graham, a splen- did example of the woman of business, taste and tact, making a good outlet for its products. In the Gardeners' Club there is no more forceful, logical speaker, and when he speaks he says something. He served as its president and is esteemed by the entire mem- bership. If there is any one thing we have against him, it is his big red mustache, more suitable to a fierce operatic brigand than a peaceful, even- tempered blue Scotch Presbyterian like Brother Graham. Thomas L. Patterson is another of the same settlement and the same blood. He comes of gardeners' stock, is acute, active and long-headed; pro- duces good stuff and knows how to get rid of it. Just now his head is full of Easter anticipations, and he has the clock set just right to bring in the stuff at the moment when it will be best conditioned and most profitable, roses, hydrangeas, lilies, bulbs, all be- ing in good shape. He has been mak- ing alterations on his place, and pro- poses further changes and improve- ments this season. He is not at all likely to fall behind the procession! Another neighbor is Philip B. Welsli. We will not say he is a Scotchman— it he spelt it with an "a" we would as- sign him to another nationality! He ig a hustler and is building up a fine business. Calling on Mr. Welsh a year or two ago, just before ICaster. or some other occasion, when plants and flow- ers would be in demand, we found his , greenhouses full, his stable and wagon slied full, and we are not sure that in the i)a.rlor of Ilia dwelling th(^ piant> and center table were not loaded up with stock awaiting the day which, after patience and labor, expenditure of skill, inlelligence and coal, was to convert them into ca.sh. This deter- mination to turn all things to account in his business points to this young man's success.

The following adv. appears in a re- cent issue of a western pttper devoted to fruit growing: IIORTIcri.TL-R.M, WIFE WANTED -Want to sell half interest iJa.iiOO) in one of the finest fruit houses in S. W Missouri to some intelligent old maid or unincumbered widow of 40 or 5ii. then marry her. Am a lone widower of clean record and unquestionable habits. Want an all-around, practical, domestic wom- an of good health, kind heart, and free from drug habits. The originality of the proposition is surely entitled to admiration, as well as the far-sightedness of the adver- tiser. He proposes to sell the lady in the case a half interest and then marry her and the half interest. He evident- ly proposes to solve the old problem of how to eat your cake and still have it. In exchange for the lady's cash and services he offers a "clean record," though he doesn't say how recently it has been laundered, and "unquestion- able habits," but fails to say whether they are unquestionably good or un- questionably bad. And he insists on a woman "free from drug habits." Can it be possible that ladies in his set have been addict- ed to Bordeaux mixture or kerosene emulsion?

Pdrties contemplating using note the following extracts issued to Iron Gutters will do well to from Patent No. 616,781 George IVt. Garland: The object of the invention is to provide a valley-gutter for greenhouses which will be so constructed as to combine a stop for the glass and a drip-conductor. Another object of the invention is to so construct the gutter that the devices for fastening the gutter to supports will be below the weather-face of the gutter, thus avoiding perforations of the weather-face and consequent liability to leakage. The nails, screws, or other fastening devices are passed through the drop flanges and into the lower ends of the roof-beams, so that these fastening devices for connecting the valley-gutter to the roof structure are below the weather-faces of the valley-gutter, and consequently the weather-faces of the valley-gutter need not be perforated, insuring against leakage.

"There's nothing new under the sun," isn't always correct, but it very nearly happens to be so at present in regards to new effects in ribbons, bows or basinets. In these as in most other things people look for or insist on hav- ing something different each season and in consequence designers struggle hard to supply this demand; the re- sult is that we see many curious things offered as "new," which we would not deign to notice at all only for the fact that they are labeled as "new." A ribbon may have an extra stripe, gloss a different web, or some other item in manufacture which technical- ly constitutes its claim to novelty and which will suffice to appease the de- mand of the milliner, but it is the col- or of the material that appeals mo'^t to the florist. In this regard we are always ad- vancing. Colorists are accomplishing wonders in the way of producing cor- rect floral colors, and where a few years ago it was utterly impossible to match many flowers with ribbon, 'tisn't so now if you care to take the trouble to find out where to purchase. Perhaps the glib-tongued salesman and the easily influenced florist are respon- sible for many of the funny things we see. Many a florist store today has its little ribbon case filled with impossible colors or grotesque designs, and we are .sorry to have to say that anything "goes" with some, it doesn't matter so long as it's the "latest." Last year we had all kinds of print and figure effects, and some awful things were seen on baskets and plants; we may yet see some of these outrages com- mitted but we are glad to state they will not be the popular fancy this year. Either pastel or solid colors will pre- vail. Some very beautiful soft tones are obtainable. Pink, about the same shade as Mrs. .Tas. Dean carnation, will be the most popular color this spring. Celestial blue will also be in demand. Ribbons to the florist are an expensive luxury. Only the few, comparatively speaking, can afford to carry an extensive stock, but all can and should be careful of the colors, which is of more import- ance than quality. Velvets are too ex- pensive, satins are not correct, fig- ured patterns are inappropriate. The best ribbons for the florist today are taffeta silks; that is, of course, for general use. For extra fine work, vel- vets, the new Pann, or corded, silks should be used. There are times when the common colors can be picked up cheaply at special sales, but a visit to the wholesale dealer.-j or manufact- turers once in a while will repay you. To be up-to-date you must appear to have plenty of everything, but you need not use things foolishly. In the near future when we will have more perfection in flower and plant there will be less use for ribbon.s. In the past, as it is today, florists were and are compelled to use embelli^hraenl.s with .some flowers in order to make them appear of more value. Beauty unadorned is always the most exquis- ite, and as the world advances this will be more generally recognized. The use of pot baskets, crepe papers and ribbons would be greatly lessened it we had better or cleaner plant pots, but inasmuch an retailers and gi'ow- ers will ;>lways haggle over prices this desirable end will ever appear in the distance. We have always been opposed to the indiscriminate or over-lavish use of ribbons, and will venture to say that there will be many a plant sent out this Easter which would look better without the "dress" or "artistic bow" or "sash" you will insist on inflicting it with. It isn't always necessary to do the things we do sometimes, and ex- tremes are seldom satisfactory. A good plant in a clean pot. or a pot basket, if you wish to enrich it, rarely needs any further fixings. You can have no excuse for any mes- alliance in colors: if you cannot exact- ly match the flower, be careful that you use one that will not destroy harmony.. A good contrast is the next best thing to exact reproduction, but it is dan- gerous to do this with flowers; there are occasions when dominant colors, such as white or lavenders, are some- what sombre and appear all the better for a touch of other colors; for in- stance, blue with the former and yel- low with the latter. Red and greens, light and dark ambers, light amber and heliotrope, light amber and light coral, light amber and apple green, dark amber and violet, dark amber and moss green, apple green and moss green, apple green and light coral, apple green and apricot, light terra cotta and dark terra cotta. light and dark blush pink, light and dark coral, light coral and light blue, moss green and gold, cream and gold, pink and green, ami so on. The combinations in colors are large- ly a matter of individual taste. You will not have need for the exercise of ni\ich mixtures unless it be with the trimming of bulb stock, and after all you will not find any more pleasing than decided tones which either match foliage or flower. As regards bows, there's nothing spe- cially new; the rosette and single loop styles will be most popular; small sprigs of flowers are used among ihe loops of the former and the latter is mostly to appear as a "tie bow." Very broad ribbons will be fashionable be- cause they look richer and give a more prosperous effect. You Know even the poorest try to hide poverty, and it's better, anyhow, to have your presents look as rich as possible. When you cut ribbons, don't take a triangular bite out of the ends; that's bad taste; 544 The Weekly Florists' Review* APRIL 5, UOIJ. just cut the ends slant both the same way. Some will have ribbons with "Easter Greetings" on the ends, and there will 1)6 short bows of gauze or taffeta rib- bons tied across fancy or special boxes of cut flowers; it is often foolish, but some women, and men, too, imagine it is a little chic or extra finish, and ap- preciate it. Silk tasseled cords will also be used instead of common twine, and remem- ber where such things are adopted they are merely tied with a bow across the box. It is a very common thing to see rose stems sticking out of the ends of l)oxes; they are delivered so even from the best houses; the ends of valuable boxes are cut to accommodate stem.^ which could be kept inside the box if they w-ere reversed. It is not the proper way to deliver flowers. Try to have your boxes long enough; they need scarcely ever be longer than :3 ' i" * r m^ «^^ 1?.' ■ J ' -. ac^^^ 1 •• i ^«m ^ly The Silver Cups offered at the exhibition of the American Rose Society, New York. have a little regard for the feelings of your customers, if you have none fur the plants themselves. We all agree that there is a want for a cheap and pretty pot cover; baskets, of course, are the best, but they cost high, espe- cially to small florists. Crepe papsr is the only thing we have to fall b:Hk on, and it is very effective when used only as a pot cover. When, however, it is turned into a skirt, bodice, hat and collar for the poor plant, it's time to ridicule the silly idea that it's one of the items that constitutes floral arf. happen to be of the over-conscientious sort, use the ready-made tins you can buy in most hardware stores. Sphag- n\im for i)acking and green mos.^ for top-dressing is lighter and cleaner than soil, and w-hcn well wet is just as serv- iceable. ."Vvoid mixed or impossible colors in baskets, just as much as you do in va-ses or in the selection of your own neckties. There are many simple cheap baskets which go better with plants than they would with cut flow- ers. If you can get up the impression that the flowers or plants have just been cut in the garden and brought in- to the hou.se in the gardener's old basket, ycu are more apt to please than if it is too apparent that you have labored to destroy the natural aspect. The world of art and refinement dearly loves antiquity, beciuse much of it is far more beautiful than the moderns. To be sure, there always was and will be those who love the gaudy; let them have it by all means; it would be bad to limit either color or taste, but don't try to give the dose to refinement for it will injure some- where. Natural birch bark baskets are very pretty; so are the birch and green luffa; white willow, and green rush baskets are coming into favor again; the trouble with some stock is that it is too finely finished, a more rustic or home-made appearance would suit best. A common bushel b.isket of roses or mixed flowers may look far better than your fancy celluloid affair. Small plants, such as primroses, pansies, forgetmenots, etc., will look best in low. oval or round baskets. A bit of ribbon on the side handle will make it look a little festive. Small and delicate vases or knick-knacks are more a nuisance than anything else when you're busy, so avoid them. A good tall vase or two may come in handy for a bunch of long stem roses; it's a part of the business we should not neglect. No matter if you have a cheap class of trade, try to have some- thing extra large in the way of flower- ing plants; you'll probably sell it. or it will pay you in many ways you may not see all at once. Send out a neat invitation to all the prominent people in your district to come and see your Blaster display; don't begrudge a few dollars in this way, and if you have a booklet on the care of plants, or merely a leaflet in- structing customers on the watering of plants, it will be appreciated. Li'*"/iia Easter Plants. Tiie nearer we get to Easter, of course, the better we can see what con- dition stock will be in, though in a country so extensive and varied in cli- mate as ours it is difficult to gene aliz^. It is queer that though Easter is un- usually late this year, there are thou- sands of lilies w-hich will not 1 e opened enough to sell, and a great many mo e which for various reasons will not be fit to offer. Many small growers have been almost ruined by the failure of their lilies, and don't he surprised if a share of the poor quality wh:ch abounds is seen among your slock. Most of the lilies will be very stunted, and though there are lots of them, we think there will be a greater run on other varieties of plants. Dutch hya- cinths, and for that matter all manner of bulbous stock, seem to be far below the average finality. This promises much harm to the bulb trade for next season; a poor florist cannot afford to work for nothing and lose all these times. APRIL The Weekly Florists' Review. 545 General View of the Exhibition of the American Rose Society, New York. Well, dear, reader, the quality of flowering plants offered this >ear is very good and the prices are reason- able. The prospects are very br.ght, and it merely depends on yourself and the weather as to the size of your siUes. The trouble with our trade is that we cannot control the elements; if Friday and Saturday are wet days it means ruin to many, but inasmuch as we can- not help such things but must endure what comes, it is not wise to fret over it. Make sure that you are going to have as good an assortment and as fine a display as your brother down the street. You will do better if you save on frills. A plant delivered in good condition is a far better advertisement for you than a silly contrivance in paper. A most important question with every florist now is how to make suffi- cient room to display his goods: the best you can do is to clear everything not required out of the store, and, if necessary, make step benches by the use of a few boards and supports which can be got at any lumber yard for a trifle; a dollar or two spent in this way will save you much. The trouble is witli many florists they are cent wise and dollar foolish, and instead of spending a few cents preparing for a creditable exhibition, they w-ill put themselves to lots of inconvenience, tilt their plants up on empty flower pots and boxes, and show their lack of taste and foresight in numerous other ways. In most cases it is necessary to ar- range Easter stock very close together, but you will find that the plant you ele- vate or single out in a way to show all its beauty will generally be the first sold, because the customer can see it to best advantage: thus it is good to fix a few fine specimens so. Don't have your plants too formally arranged. We prefer not to have the plants marked with prices written on wooden labels and stuck in the pot. for the reason that these labels are usually left by mistake in the pot and delivered so. Just imagine some friend sending you a present and the first thing you see is the price tig; even if you know to a cent what the thing is worth you don't want it shown: there's a certain amount of hu- miliation about this that floris's should be careful to avoid; the fact of our be- ing busy doesn't justify mistakes, which can be avoided by our not pre- paring to make them. Where there is intelligent help in the store there is no cause to bother pricing your plants; the good people prefer to have a man wait on them who can tell them at a glance what a plant is worth. The man who has to fumble for a price tag is but a novice and banishes confi- dence; the people like to deal with a man who knows his business — you do too. There are numerous little things you can prepare now. Wire a lot of tags and have some with a pad in your pocket, ready to mark a plant as you sell it, putting "Saturday" or "Sunday" on the back of the tag. according to when the plant is ordered delivered. There is usually considerable trouble over cards. Have some rubber bands, wrap them in the original order sheet and put them all in a box so that you can prepare them later. It is the proper thing to attach your cards and tags to the plants with a piece of nar- row ribbon. Wire looks bad. but then it's better to be correct in address and the cards than to be fancy in finish. If you hire any extra help of the kind that knows nothing about plants or flowers have them where they will not come in contact with and drive away your customers. The matter of delivery of plants is a vexing one, and the value of a cool- headed, quick shipping clerk cannot be overestimated. If you must have messengers or express men. insist on having clean and neatly dressed ones. Although it is most desirable to have plants delivered on Sunday morning, it is often impossible to do so; induce your customers to have them sent on Saturday afternoon and evening, this will give you more chance to attend to cut flower sales on Sunday. Although it is good to make a spe- cial window display this week, care should be used not to put your best plants where people cannot get near them. If a plant impedes a person's way they will notice it more than if it were some distance away; by this we don't mean to have you entirely block the path, just spread the plants, and above all give them lots of water. Everyone is on the hunt for new 546 The Weekly Florists^ Review. Al'RIL 3, 1900. flowers or novelties in making up, but It s mostly a futile chase. Be content with having good, well grown sLock 'tis nearly always better than "new things." We have several "s-hools" in the retail flower business just the same as they have in painting. There's the •■Natural" and the "Artificinl." We advocate the "Natural." because there is more beauty and more oroflt in it. Don't neglect or undervalue the im- portance of Easter decorations. Try to encourage a greater adopticn of them in churches, hotels rnd in dwell- ings. Most people feel more buoyant, there seems to be a new infusion of li e in all nature at Easter, even poverty aspires from the depths of its rags and shames the icy matter of fact. Sent - meut.

The First Exhibition. "You may break, you may shatter the vase If you will. But the scent of the roses will hane 'round it stiil." So will it be of this great rose show. Critics may have seen it ai;d found fault with one item or anoiher, there is always a plentiful ci-op of those whose special, nay. only duty on earth seems to be to criticise, liut the fact will remain that for quality it was the greatest show ever held, not merely in this country but anywhere in the world! This is an indisputable fact, and when its importance is fully rec- ognized the achievement of the Ameri- can Rose Society will be m.ore appre- ciated. It was a first attempt and ended a glorious triumph. The ro:e is still "Queen of Flowei-s" and aueen of hearts, too. and the future of the soci- ety and its shows is bright and ropy. A grave mistake was made in 1 olding the exhibition in such a place as' the Eden Musee, but it is not likely to oc- cur again. The men who would not hesitate to speculate thousands of dol- lars on some business, venture should not be afraid to hold the national rose show in the finest place obtainable. That the exhibition of liiOl will also be held in New York City is a matter for congratulation, because the wealthy people of the metropolis are anxious to assist in making the event memorable. If you were an observant visitor or attendant at this past show, you could have noticed many beauties of human nature as v.-ell as l)eauties of flowers. Old and young, tco. pei'sistentlv in- quired for Bon Siiene. JVIarechalNiel, Lamarque. or La France, or some othei' favorite of bygone days: there were very few or none at all of these rosea at the show. It would be well tor some one to grow a few for the next event; the peo|/le may admire the great gaudy beauties of today, but their hearts are moved at the si^ht of the little gems we selioni. if ever, see nowadays. Many remarkable things occurred at this exhibition. It was most forcibly demonstrated that finer roses were be- ing grown in other states than this. Philadelphia. Utica and Toronto did nobly, and Messrs. Dunlop. Myers & Samtman, Heacock, Dorrance and others from a distance deserve special credit for their grand displays. Nor must we ignore the claims of these nearer home. Ernst G. Asmus did more than any other man to make the show a success. He staged no 1-ss than 29 varieties for the Hill vase. Among these were many old favcrites and new seedlings and sports. His exhibit for the Thorley cup was a mar- vel of splendor, and his magnifier nt new rose Liberty won every heart. We, ourselves, had instructions from this gentleman to spare no expense in mak- ing the show a success. A Liberty cap was made containing .550 "short stemmed Liberty roses, a Liberty trte 12 feet in height and containing 2 0 long stemmed Liberty roses, and ; s I for the mirror and mantel decoratirns I we leave that for another time; su'- I fice it to say that Mr. Asmus exh b- ited no less than five thousand rotes af this show. Mr. H. A. Siebi-echt showed some fine work; his miniature rose garden wis a gem and should have been spec ally awarded. Paul JI. Pierson. Frank Mi- Mahon. in fact all those who exhibited deserve their full quoi^a of praise. This much is assured that des-pite the sneers of the man with the prod behind him, this society will be a su<- cess for there is a unity of all elcmen's here. The private gardener, the c(;m- mercial grower, the wealthy peopi? and the general public determined to see that it is a success, and when you consider the quality of tl;e men who are guiding the ship what mattei-s it if catfish fill the seas.

Mr. Betts made an e'o- quent plea for that city, and was much disappointed when the membeis from Philadelphia and Boston spoke and voted in favor of giving New York city another chance. The next annual spring show will most likely be held at the Waldorf- Astoria. In the opinions of a few it was desirous that some wealthy and prominent society man be elected as president, but common sense prevailed and a worker was kept at the wheel. The old oSicers were reelected, Mr. J. H. Taylor being chosen as vice-presi- dent. J. I- D. PIECE-ROOT GRAFTING. The notes on grafting on pieces of roots by INIr. Kellogg in the issues of the Review for March 1 and 15 were no doubt very interesting to many rote growers. He did not, however, give his modus operandi and this might be useful to florists that have not had experience in grafting roses in this way and are unable to secure an ex- pert, A few years ago when the grafting of roses was written up in the trade journals I tried a few dozen. Every one rooted. I then grafted enough to fill a house 110 feet long. Th's pro- duced a heavy growth of wood and flowered early and abundantly. Any one can graft in this way and I will try to explain my method as clearly as possible. I use Manetti stocks; those that have been planted two or three years are best. When dig- ging the plants be careful to get all the long and strong roots. Cut them into pieces and store in a cool cellar till wanted. One bush will make quite a number of pieces for grafting. The I)lant may be replanted and in two years may be lifted again and root [iruned as before. In prei)aring grafting wax take eijual parts of resin, beeswax and tallow and n;elt together in a double boiler (I i^se a glue pot). Cut cotton twine into I)ieces 4 or .'i inch(>s long and dip each Al'Kii. : The Weekly Florists^ Review* 547 Ernst G.

Select the same kind of wood that you would for cuttings. Lay your cut- tings on the edge of your grafting table and with a sharp, thin bladed knife cut from you, turn the cut- tings, laying the smooth cut flat on the table, make a second cut from you and you will have a wedge-shaped cut- ting, smooth and true. Wash your roots but do not get them mixed up and take the wrong end. It is better to cut off one piece at a time, each about two inches long. Make an in- cision in the end of the root about the same length as the wedge shapfd cut- ting, insert the cutting into the root and roll your piece of waxed twine. The waxed ends will hold it quite firmly. Insert the grafts in the sand bed as you would cuttings, being careful to have the union covered by the sand, and when new roots have started pot off in the usual way. Roses grafted in this way ought to be produced at an advance of IV^ to 2 cents over own rooted ones. The question will naturally arise, are they as good as whole roots? All life is but a continuation of cell growth. If you start with only a few cells it will, of course, take longer to produce a large plant than by starting with a one year root, but the result will ultimately be the same. No doubt the ease and rapidity with which graft- ing can be done in this way puts into the hands of every rose grower an op- portunity to use grafted stock. Nearly every graft takes. Even wood thit can not be used for making cuttings can be utilized and will make quite good plants, but this is not to be rec- ommended. I hope I have succeeded in making the operation quite plain. I have ti'ied many other ways of grafting but this I find (after a little practice! is the quickest and best. A. GILCHRIST. Toronto Junction, Ont. FILLING AND EMPTYING BENCHES. S. S. p. asks the following: "What is the most economical method for fi.l- ing and emptying benches in a long rose house, say 200 feet?" This question has been discussed both on the platform and through the journals, with the result that every man will follow the plan that suits hzn best. We will suppose that in all mod- ern houses you see none or the old bushel basket in front of a perspir- ing man or the cruel hand bariow, which is about as laborious. How these men who have built or are build- ing 600 and 700 foot houses intend ta fill their benches, 1 don't know, but it is one of the serious questions about such houses. Most assuredly there must be access at both ends for cart- ing in the soil and it is a serious job even then. The large Canadian growers (I no- ticed the method at Mr. Dunlop's) have a movable tramway with a truck hold- ing almost a yard of soil. The bottom of the truck is formed like an in- verted letter V, with the sides hinged at top and fastened by some simple ar- rangement at bottom. When loosened the sides fly open and out falls all the soil. The portable tracks are easily laid or moved. The trucks run out at the end of the house and are loaaed from a wagon. When, the house h s only two 6-foot benches this plan an- swers well, but where there are fojr benches, each perhaps 3 or 4 foot, as in the old-fashioned long-span-to-:he south houses, I don't see how it c.n answer so well. The soil can be brought in allright but a great deal of luindling is needed after it is dumped on the bench. I have conversed with several large rose and carnation growers who have houses 300 feet long and all of them said that they could get along first rate with the wheelbarrow and I am of that opinion myself. Although hiv- ing no houses over 175 feet long I d3 not want anything more handy than the wheelbarrow, for it puts the soil just where you want it. In building these things should be considered. Houses may all radiate from a shed or central house and you may never need or use a door at the farther end. but when it comes to filling your benches the shed or center house is the most unhandy place for handling soil, so a commodious door should always be in the gable end, if it is only used one week in the year. It can be locked or screwed up the rest of the time. In such a plain job as filling a bench with soil there is some system needed. To set one man to fill his bar- row and then wheel it two hundred feet and return again to his pile all alone is a poor way to do it and likely to produce the dumps or a kink in 548 The Weekly Florists' Review. APRIL 5, 1900. the back of any man. A gang of three or four should always be at it and it goes with a snap and a vim and a cheerfulness that lightens the drudg- ery. I have keenly enjoyed myself in days past running along a bench with a barrow full of soil, but like the bowl- ing game 1 am better now at telling where they ought to be hit. WM. SCOTT. THE QUEEN OF EDGELY. Tlu.s is the name ut the new rose that originated four years ago as a sport of the American Beauty at the nurseries of The Floral Exchange. Edgeiy, Pa., and which has been under careful observation ever since. It is identical with American Beauty except in color, which approaches that of Mme. Testout. The flowers are from five to seven inches across when expanded and the stems run up to eight feet in length. The rose will be distributed in March, 1901. At the exhibition of the American Rose Society in New York last week it was given a certificate of merit as it was a newcomer and had no competi- tor and could not enter the prize lists. Easter Crops. In many estaldishnunt- little else will be thought of.now but the Easter crops. And little can be said that can help you very much. The weather with us continues dull, but I never saw weather to suit everybody, and while you may pray for sun t] bring out your lilies you may sail welcome dull weather, for it will save your azaleas. Remember one impor.'ant fa:t: do not put p'.ants suddenly into a cold house from a strong heA unles.-; they are fully in bloom. Nearly all plants will keep many days in a cool, shady house. And in the case cf lilies th;y are all the better for your customeis when they have b?en hardened off. and so are most things, notably Crimson Ramblers, which hang in perfecMon a long time after being tuLy out. What I am going to say seems unne> essary, but yet you se; places where the stock is scattered all over the place. Some few customers like to wander through a dozen houses and profess to be so fond of flowers, or perhaps it is "posies," but they are not your buying customers; they are only the visitors; your good pat!ons like to see your display as quiokly as possible, make their selection and bo off. The old lady who tells you that her Leop- ard plant is better than any of your.-i, or that she has a beefsteak geranium that was sent fiom Washingtan, is more welcome about th? Ko :r,h of July. So make one of your houses a show house where there is a group of every- thing that you have to offer, and noth- ing on that bench but what is slick and gorgeous. Don't try to make your benches a medley of everything, how- ever artistic it may be. That style is all ri^hl in a private place or botanic gardens, but quite out of order in a commercial place. Have blocks of stuff so that you can quickly say, "Any of these are one dollar, that lot is two dollars," and so on. A greenhouse can be ai? gay as a florist's shop window and far more of it and the most of the visitors will think your whoie place is as full of bloom as the hundred foot house they see. I must again impre.-js on you how much it will facilitate business to have a bench in another house where all or- ders or plants selected can, whenever possible, be looked out and labsled. Thursday's delivery should be looked out on Wednesday, and Friday's on Thursday, and kept entirely distinct, and so on. If you have any executive ability about you Easter is the time when its exercise wi.l help you out. Nothing should be left undone that must eventually be done. Pots should be washed and instead of setting them back on sand or ashes they can be set on coarse paper. If you should wash a few pots that don't sell it will not be a great loss. The freak or fad of crepe paper is now in such general use that it is no good kicking, and it is so much in use that the man or firm who does not use it will not be in favor. Properly use:l it most assuredly greatly adds to the attractiveness of the plants and we don't wait now to l)e asked to put it on. but every plant get-; this chea') dec oration. Don't lot every man with dirty hands be bothering with the crepe, but let some one of nimb'e fin- gers and a little taste be a'lotted that job. When once practiced at it, it will go as quickly as a bank teller handles the long green. I don't care what time of year it is or how warm, a plant should never go out without some wrapp ng piiper round the pot, and a little way up the plant. The absence of it looks crude and reminds one too much of a seven- year-old Philipino. Once more be pre- pared for a rush, for you will have it, and with the greatest of care and sys- tem there is confusion enough. As a grower and retailer both I have to remember with much sorrow the folly of keeping a lot of fiowers till the last moment. Four years ago this Easter I had ten thousand carnations arrive at my store at 7 p. m. on the Saturday after most of the business was over and they could all have been sold for $5 or $6 per hundred whole- sale a few days before. WMth all our years of experience and this themj b=- ing ventilated again and again, as growers we are inclined to hoard up till the last moment. Easter prices prevail from at least the Wednesday previous, so if you can sell, what ob- ject is there in keeping everything for the last moment? The commission man wants his flowers on the Thurs- day and Friday, and if received before that the commission man and retailer have just as much facility for "salt- ing " them as the grower. There is too much good stuff grown now for old inferior flowers to have a show and the man who gets in in good time stands the best prospect of getting the best price. It is not at all unusual to see better prices at the commission house on the Thur.'-day than on Satur- day. With a late Easter as this year we will hope and trust that delivery will be easy; precaution against cold will not be necessary, perhaps. But a low temperature, say 40 degrees, with a cutting wind, is disastrous to flowers coming out of a warm house, and un- less it is warm and still a covered wag- on must be used. There is only one plant at Easter that is really hard to deliver and that is the worst of all, viz., the favorite Easter lily. Some retailers believe that a good way is to have plenty of errand boys and dis- patch a boy with a lily. In a wagon they shake against each other and broken petals is the result. A dozen broken lilies tor which you have to refund or replace will pay the wages of more than a dozen boys for a day. They are the only flowering plant that bothers us, and as we have to deliver three or four dozen to one church we find that the best plan is to tie the heads of about eight or nine together in one bunch. Then they can swing as much as you like and no harm will come because they all go together. But look out for a neighboring bunch or the side of the wagon. WM. SCOTT. LIME IN CARNATION SOIL. I have just road the question put by X. V. Z. on "Lime in Carnation Soil,"' and Wm. Stuart's reply. Being very APRIL 5, 1900. The Weekly Florists^ Review. 549 ^' ** jm^ g|f^ i^ ' '>»'^ jj _ ^'^ ^ < ^' f » ■ '■■*<. - »•■■■>♦, • t^ , .1 ■-'■'{' - /^'''-B '■■■ ' ■'V''*C'i^>'« ^^n Partial view of Mirror Decoration at Exhibition of American Rose Society, New York. much interested in the subject and having experimented some along that line, I thought the result of my experi- ments might be of some benefit to X. Y. Z., and perhaps to others. Having been troubled with stem-rot. especially on Flora Hill, I concluded that as we had been very careful with the cuttings there must be something in the soil to produce it. and decided that it was lime I wanted to destroy this fungus. Accordingly 1 sowed lime on the soil before planting, with the result that I had absolutely no stem- rot in the field and no bacteria in the house after planting in bench. That was in 1S9S. In 1S99 I changed my location for planting and did not sow lime, thinking I would not need it. During the growing season I lost a large per cent of my plants with stem-rot, and even after they went into the bench the disease continued and the plants became badly affected with bacteria. I resorted to lime about November 1 and in less than ten days I could see its beneficial effects. The stem-rot ceased and the bacteria soon began to decrease. On February 1. 1900, I gave the benches another lime dressing and to- day I wouldn't want better or more healthy plants. For some time I have been cutting three-inch Flora Hills, on two-foot stems, and three-inch Tri- umphs on thirty-inch stems. I believe, after testing it, that the worst case of rust can be speedily cured with lime, as well as a bad case of bacteria. Mr. Herr, in his notes in "The Florist," has frequently recom- mended lime, and it was his suggestion that prompted me. I would like to hear what some of the large growers have to say on the subject. S. M. H. Danville, Ky. "DICK" WITTERSTAETTER AND HIS SEEDLINGS. There are but few in the trade whose success at crossing the carnation can be compared with that of the Cincin- nati wizard. To speak or to think of seedlings one necessarily takes flight upon the wings of imagination to Se- damsville, the picturesque suburb of Cincinnati, where the Enquirer, the Elinora, the Estelle, the Adonis and a host of other most worthy aspirants for future recognition and honors, can be seen in all their splendor and glory. Then there is the genial Witterstaetter himself, the host of hosts, whose wine is as exhilarating as his hospitality is unbounded, or vice versa. But to re- turn to his seedlings. It was not upon the wings of imagi- nation, but on an Elberon avenue car that your correspondent "took flight" to Sedamsville. It was worth my while and it proved a revelation as well. There was the Enquirer, stately, erect, grand, a veritable giant of its kind. No wonder, I thought to myself, that the Chicago judges declared it "perfect," and gave it an even lOO points accordingly. And the Elinora, a fit and worthy companion of the Enquirer, of the purest white, perfect in form, with a .stem and calyx thai are truly ideal. Nor can I pass the Adonis without being "smitten" by its charms. If ever there was an ideal scarlet carnation the Adonis is the one. To see it grow- ing is a treat that no grower visiting Cincinnati can afford to miss. That it has already made its mark we all know, that it will be received with open arms when it makes its final de- but is a foregone conclusion with the writer. Nor must I overlook the Estelle, a magnificent scarlet, small as compared with the others, but sturdy and vigor- ous withal. The limited quantity of this seedling which Mr. Witterstaetter has put on the marltct, has been all or nearly exhausted. To speak of the other seedlings as yet unnamed would require more space than I could reasonably expect from the Florists' Review. Suflice it to say that there are several surprises in store for the carnation growers and that the coming exhibit at Baltimore will in all likelihood surpass that held re- cently at Buffalo. S. BLUE FLOWERS FOR JUNE. A reader asks: "What can you ad- vise us to grow for blue flowers for de- sign work for middle of June?" If this question had been asked a month ago it would have been easier to answer, and there would have been more time to prepare. First, there is the blue ageratum, which if the shade of color answers would give you all the flowers you want. The Browallia elata and its improved forms is a much better blue. You could sow them out of doors, but I would rather sow under glass and transplant. They should be in good flower by middle of June. Best of all is the blue pansy, fine for design work. Lord Beaconsfleld vari- ety will give you the finest purples and blues. Sow at once in flats and trans- plant to very rich soil. To produce the finest results you should have the bed where you can water freely and shade during the hot hours, as the middle of June is getting warm for pansies, but these plants will produce better flow- ers than those wintered over. The Delphinium formosum and its magnificent varieties would not be in flower in time. WM. SCOTT. CYPERUS PAPYRUS. Though supposed to be an aquatic this reed, the papyrus of the Egyp- tians, grows to a great size in a bed or border, if an abundance of water is given. Last summer, two beds at Lin- coln Park, Chicago, attracted much at- tention, and were a very attractive fea- ture of the bedding. And in this connection would say that the plants had a good joke on Head-Gardener Stromback. Not antici- pating such a rampant growth he planted some beds of alocasias with the cyperus in between, thinking the latter would grow only sufficiently to shade 550 The Weekly Florists' Review^ APRIL 5, 1900. the alocasias. The result was that the cyperus overgrew and nearly smoth- ered the alocasias. and he had two mag- nificent beds of cyperus though rather rough on the alocasias. He will have beds of the cyperus again this year but they will he planted by themselves and strong plants will be placed about three feet apart in the bed. His new stock is from seed sown last December and the little plants are now in 214-inch pots, about ready to shift into 3% or 4 inch from which they will be planted out early in .lune. It is an easy plant to handle and when bedded out makes a big show at small expense. Florists wishing to offer something new in foliage effects to their custom- ers would find this a very satisfactory plant for the purpose. It is often listed as Papyrus antiquorum. THE CHRYSANTHEMUM. [Paper read before the Tarrvtown Horticultural Society, March 29, IflOO, bv las'. T. Scott, House ot Refuge. Randall's Island, N. V.l In considering the chrysanthemum it would be well for us to carry our fancies back to the autumn, to the time of their perfection. This is the par- ticular season that the chrysanthemum student balances his notes, compares theories with results or vice versa, stores up for himself new ideas, rear- ranges his next year's lists and culls out the weaklings. The survival of the fittest is inevitable. There is no use growing a host of synonyms. Better grow say two or three dozen of one or two varieties than have fifty to one hundred varieties with the half of them poor. The autumn is a good time for the beginner to arm himself with a note book, if he be alert he will find enough at one or two chrysanthemum exhibi- tions to supply the necessary informa- tion regarding varieties. The old hand ought to know the capacity of his place, know at this time the number of plants he will grow again, and while the actual demonstration is before his eyes he ought to make a memorandum of the number of each variety that he intends to grow next year. I once heard a gardener .say "That the man who introduced the chrysan- themum ought to be stoned." for. he said, "They are a whole year's trou- ble." We do not all think with that poor mortal, yet his remark suggests a truth, i. e., that we must give to them a whole year's care. Do not get disgusted when you have cut your flow- ers, think of the old stools and your next year's stock. Keep your old plants in a cool place and give them plenty of light; by a cool place I do not mean to put them in cold storage, or a place that is continually below the freezing point, although five or six degrees of frost occasionally will do them no harm. A dormant grapery, a peach house, or violet house, any place where the temperature averages from forty to thirty-two degrees. Give them an occasional hosing over head, and do not let them suffer for want of water. For cuttings use medium wood. Very thick pithy wood is not always satis- factory, and by no means use weak, spindly material. Chrysanthemums root readily in the ordinary propagat- ing bed, or in small pots. Propagation may commence in January and con- tinue on till May, according to the system of culture to be practiced. Jan- uary, and even earlier, is a good time to propagate for bush plants, but for bench culture May is time enough. There are many opinions as to the best time to propagate the general collec- tion. I have tried (and have seen tried) several dates, but all through would recommend the latter part of March or the beginning of April. When well rooted the young plants may be potted in 2i^-inch pots, in a moderately heavy soil, not too rich, and placed on the side benches of a violet or carnation house, or any place in fact where they are near the glass, get plenty of air, and are kept at a moderate temperature. I have found it a .good plan about the month of April, after the first and sec- ond potting, to put the young plants in a cold frame (being always careful to exclude frost, but give abundance of air all day and when the nights grow warmer at night also). I have also found it good to have about two inch- es of fresh horse manure put in the bottom of the frames, and about two inches of coal ashes on the top of it. This insures good drainage, and the lit- tle ammonia arising from the manure gives the leaves a healthy green color. The main point at this time, however, is not to rush growth, either by feed- ing or high temperature. Keep your plants stubby and short. About the middle or first week of May we always make a point of cutting back the general collection. In cut- ting back never make a rule of cutting so many inches from the pot. It is never advisable to cut back to hard wood, if this be done the plants usually break weak. The points you cut off if put in the sand bed make excellent material for benches. After cutting back, the plant will not require so much water for a few days, so be sure and pay particular attention to this. If the plants are syringed overhead in the afternoon, and the frame kept somewhat closer, the break- ing away w^l be considerably helped. Each plant will break away, making perhaps four to six shoots, and now is the time to determine how many flowers are to be grown upon each plant. I leave the commercial man to answer this for himself, he knows the quality that suits his trade best, and the price he is likely to receive, but for private gardeners where competi- tion or a home display is aimed, I should advise only two shoots to a 7 or 8 inch pot, and one for a 6-inch pot. Now as to the final potting; I believe that more depends upon the physical nature of the soil than upon anything else. Many believe in adding so many bones, so much fish manure or guano, and so on. This is all rubbish — see to your soil's friability, or tenacity first, then look after the chemical constitu- ents; chrysanthemums require a mod- erately heavy soil, and great judgment must be exercised. In preparing a compost get at it early. The fall of the year is the ideal time, but if not done get at it right away. It is perhaps superfluous to say get your turf from as old a pasture as you have at hand. If your turf be of a heavy clay nature do as follows: lay down one layer of turf, grassy side under, spread on that a small quantity of horse manure, some lione meal and a few handfuls of air slacked lime. If your turf be of a gritty or sandy na- ture use cow's manure, say one part manure to five or six of turf, add some bone meal and a very little lime. Con- jure up in your mind's eye an ideal soil, i. e., physically, and if you cannot get it ready made endeavor by every means to make it. After such a compost has lain tor two or three months it ought to be ready for use. Commence at one end and cut down the pile with a sharp spade, but by no means make it too fine. The idea of sifting soil for pot- ting purposes is too old fashioned to need condemnation, but let me em- phasize the fact that roots need air, or in other words oxygen, in large quantities. When a soil is too fine it is impossible for such to permeate freely. The old fashioned idea of add- ing leaf mould to all composts so far conteracted this evil but leaf mould is unnecessary provided your compost be rightly constituted. The plants ought to be ready for their final shift about the end of May or beginning of June. Drain your pots well, and ram the soil firm: it is im- l)Ortant that chrysanthemums be firmly I)Otted, Otherwise the growth will be soft and pithy. Large pots are an en- cumbrance and unnecessary, 8-inch pots are big enough for exhibition blooms done as I have stated and (>- inch pots grown to single stem and bloom usually give excellent results. Another important matter. Are your plants to be grown indoors all summer or outside? There are many who lack facilities for indoor culture. Many Al'lUi- ',. \'A»I. The Weekly Florists^ Review. 551 The Liberty Cap of Liberty Roses at Ihe exhibition of the American Rose Society, New York. can spare a grapery in the fall to flower the plants in, yet can't afford house room during the summer months. Be- fore the dreaded disease, commonly known as "Rust" made its appearance, oc^ide culture during the summer mouihs was possilde: it is almost use- less trying the outdoor system now. Indoors your plants are more under your control, the atmosphere can he kept dry or moist at wilt and tfiis is the most important factor in battling ■with the disease. If the plants be wat- ered during the morning or forenoon, and the house dry by night, there will be little need to resort to Bordeaux mixture or any other fungicide. Apart from the question of disease, however, indoor culture is preferable as giving the best result all through, the foliage is always superior, and I believe on the whole they are less trouble. Any hcuse that has been used for bedding plants. Or winter vegetables, and which will not be needed before the flowering sea- son is over makes a good pface. Different pests may prove trouble- some during the summer months, hut a few tobacco stems thrown around every now and then will keep them in check. Attention will have to be given vers frequently during the summer months to tying and disbudding: neglect in this respect is the cause of many fail- ures. The taking of the bud is perhaps the most momentous question of all, and so long as new varieties are being in- troduced, it will remain an unsolved one. I don't think any hard and fast rule can be laid down regarding bud taking, speaking generally, however, I should say, that all varieties inclined to be thin should be taken on the crown bud and varieties that are more compact should be taken on the termi- nal bud. There are types that do well on either bud, and it is a matter of taste which you desire to select. The crown bud invariably gives larger blooms but not always so good a form. Most of the Chinese varieties are best on the terminals, the flowers being more globular, and incurving. In fact, many make a point of taking all in- curved varieties on the terminal bud. Concerning color, most of the white and yellow varieties are very little in- fluenced by eitlier bud in this respect, but all pink varieties (Mrs E. G. Hill perhaps excepted) give better color on the late bud. In fact Viviand-Morel and several others come almost white if taken on the early bud, although the color is usually best on the terminal bud. Again flowers taken on the crown bud are invariably bare of foliage at the neck, but the stem in most cases is stronger. Crown buds require a higher temperature than terminals and a much longer time to develop. Flowers taken on the crown bud show a larger percentage of rough blooms. The taking of crown buds may com- mence about August 25th and for ter- minals about the second week of Sep- tember. It is a great mistake to com- mence the taking of buds too early, rough blooms are invariably tlie result. Many think that by taking the buds early they will have early flowers, this also is a delusion. I have taken buds as early as August 20lh and buds taken September foth were in flower b« fore them. Feeding: This is looked uijon by many, in fact by nearly all, as the one great necessity in procuring exhibition bloom. "What do you feed with? " is the all-absorbing question. It is im- portant, of course it is, but it is usually overdone. Too rich a compost to be- gin with and early feeding are the cause of more sickly looking plants than poverty. If your soil contained the usual amotmt of constituents, the plants ought to get along without any other iissistance until the middle or end of .July. Be sure your pots are full of roots first, before you stagnate the soil with chemicals. Be on your giuird, however, do not have the piants show- ing visible signs of weakne.ss before you stimulate them. Plants can stand more feeding after the buds are taken, especially after terminals are taken. Apply any of the ordinary liquid man- ures such as chicken or sheep nianuie that has been steeped in a tank or bar- rel or the washings from the cow or horse stable; dilute freely and gradu- ate the dose, do not stick to one form all the time, alternate every week. After the buds are taken use some nitrate of soda, about a 3-inch pot full to 50 gallons of water; give this about once a week. Just before the tioweis show color use liquid sulphate of am- monia, about the same quantity as ad- vised for nitrate of soda. When the flowers begin to show col- or, feeding should be ttopped. especial- ly on all dark varieties and Mrs. H. Weeks; some are benefited by small applications of sulphate of ammon'a until they are nearly fully out. COST OF HEATING. A subscriber asks: "How much coal would it take to heat a greenhouse to a night temperature of 50 degrees, size of house 60 ft, long, 20 ft. wide, Ifi at ridge, 5 ft, sides (3 ft. wood and 2 ft. glass)? Boiler Hitchings, No. 10, which is situated 30 ft, away from nearest part of greenhouse in a warm cellar. Location, Western New York." There are several things to consider before you could answer this offhand and be at all certain that you had given the right quantity. The house is quite lofty for its width, which means large glass exposure. Exposure or ast)ect has something to do with it, and more than all the method or plan of heat- ing. If the boiler is well down and there is a good drop for the return at boiler the circulation will be quick and less coal will be consumed. If the boiler was close to the house and as is usual with Hitchings the back of the boiler projecting into the greenhouse it would be much more economical than being 36 ft, away, for in that distance there would be considerable cooling on both the flow and return. If the pipes are all bunched together under the benches you tio not get the same amount of radiation as if the.- 552 The Weekly Florists^ Review. APRIL 5. 1900, were more distributed, but where 4- incli pipe are used they cannot be much spread and this is where 2-inch wrought iron pipe has the advantage. Supposing the house is well built, well piped and an average winter, I would say that 10 to 12 tons of hard coal would heat it for the year. \V. S. THE BALTIMORE GARDENERS- CLUB. To the Editor of the Florists' Re- view:— Few outside of its own mem- bership are interested in the origin of our Baltimore Club; but, as a partici- pator, I put the facts on record. They are identically as narrated by your regular correspondent, Rix. I was a member of the Maryland Horticultural Society's Executive Committee, which, on big solicitation, empowered Mr. Wm. B. Sands to call and arrange for the meeting of practical gardeners from which sprang the club. I ap- proved of, was present at, and took part in, that meeting. I was chairman of the committee which drafted the constitution of the club, and by that document (as may be seen in it) pro- vision was made to keep Mr. Sands (who was then an editor and not a gardener) in the club on account of the services he had rendered — services which (it is needles.-; to say to those who know him) were continued for years on its behalf in many directions until, from considerations of self-re- spect, he lately resigned (a» I did my- self) from its membership. The chal- lenge of known facts in your issue of March 29th was gratuitous and sprang from motives well understood here. Everyone knows of the late Robert J. Halliday's position here. I knew him from early boyhood. He was big hearted and liberal minded, with the good w-ill of the entire trade, and he worked earnestly for the success of the club. Certainly of all men Mr. Sands is not the one to profit by de- traction from his friend's deserving^. Of course, there was no shadow of a dream of such a thing! On the con- trary, a few years ago, Mr. Sands pre- sented to the club, at the request of its donors, a portrait of Mr. Halliday, and no more eloquent and touching tribute of sincere appreciation and friendly re- gard could have been framed than his address portraying in feeling terms the efforts for and devotion to the club of its lamented first president, a man whose character and qualities we all esteemed and honored. JAMES PENTLAND. Baltimore, April 2, 1900. Editor Florists' Review: — "Rix," in your last issue, sticks to it that his statement regarding the origin of the Gardeners' Club of Baltimore was lit- erally as stated in tlie Review, and adds, "It is a matter always known and of record." If so, will "Rix" oblige by producing the record? Does "Rix" mean to imply that the Gardeners' Club was a child or off- shoot of the Maryland Horticultural Society? If so, the writer, wlio was a member of that society from the iime of its resurrection until its demise, must have a faulty memory. Hysteria is one of the human ail- ments with which the writer is unfa- miliar, and he has yet to learn that love of truth and of justice are symp- toms of that disease. Ruxton, Md. WM. FRASER. CARNATION SHOW. The New York Gardeners' Society held their quarterly meeting, also an exhibition of new carnations, at the New York Press Club on March 27th. The show was a great success; most of the new carnations offered this spring were there in fine shape, and were very much admired by the crowds of visitors. Almost all the gardeners and florists who attended the rose show were present at this, and the general public were invited free. Wm. Duckham, gardener to Mr, D. Willis James, Madison. N. J., won t);e . C. W. Ward silver cup with 1- varia- ties of superbly grown carnations. Win. Ru.'j.seil. gardener to Mr. Deitrieh, Mill- bvook, N. Y'., won the Pierhi,n prize for best display. George _M. Hay, gardener to Mr. John T. Williams. Stamford, Conn., added to his library by winning the Review prize, "Scott's Manual." for Jiest 50 blooms, and the A. T. De La Mare Printing & Publishing Co. prize for best vase of carnations. Joseph Dexter, gardener to Hon. Whitelaw Reid. White Plains, showed a vas3 of very handsome blooms. The flowers shown by private gardeners were all remarkably tine and were a credit to tnat branch of the craft. Commercial growers sent very fine exhibits. The Ethel Crockers sent by Robert Craig & Son, Philadelphi;i, were grand and were awarded a certificite of merit, as was also the new variety. Gov. Roosevelt, shown by C. W. Ward. Queens, L. I. The gardeners present were very much pleased with this flower, and it is destined to become very popular. H. Weber & Sons, Oak- land, Md., staged a great showing of beautiful new varieties; they received certificates of merit for No. 11. pink; No. 40, pink; Genevieve Lord; No. 10 A, large white, and No. 120, a flne dark red. Honorable mention was given No. 30. Genevieve Lord was in flue form and greatly admired. The flowers were %vell grown, having very long stems and great lasting quality. Lehnig & Winnefield's new white seedling won a certificate of merit, and honorable mention was given to Mrs. Bertram Lippincott, sent by H. Micbell, Philadelphia; the latter vari- ety was not in its best form and the crowd would like to see it again. H. A. Molatsch exhil)ited his new scarlet, Mrs. Bird. S. Coler, for which he re- ceived honorable mention, Michigan, trom Mrs. Mclntyre, Flint. Mich,, came In poor condition. Dallledouze Bros, showed some extraordinary blooms of No. 666, which was awarded a certifi- cate of merit. These were the largest flowers at the show and won much praise. Honorable mention was given a vase of well grown Wm. Scott, exhib- ited by John H. Taylor. The flowers of Pink Perfection petunia sent by E. Banyard & Son, Clementon, N. J., cre- ated a sensation; they were an im- mense size and a fine shade of pink; they were awarded the society's cer- tificate of merit. E. Dallledouze, Wm. Anderson and A. Grierson acted as judges. A vote of thanks was given to those who offered prizes and to the florists who so kindly contributed blooms to the show. The New Y'ork Gardeners' Society may not be rich in funds, but it has a record for good work done that no other society in the country can com- pare with. It is not composed of wealthy men, and yet the day of the rose show it w'as the only society in New York that tendered the visitors a reception. The best at the Press Club cafe was placed at everyone's wish. The society will do its best to make the June rose show a success, and they will probably exhibit strawberries at their next meeting, which will be held that month. J. I. D. NEW YORK- Great are the preparations which are being made for Easter and everyone seems pleased with the prospects. Plant growers have sold out all the best stock; unprecedented sales are re- ported. The cut flower trade will largely depend on the quality sent in, but all seems bright in this line, too. Every branch of trade reports evi- dences of much prosperity. Most of the wholesalers and retailers have rented extra stores for plant displays. Some half ashamed and undercurrent comments are being made about wholesalers selling plants, which is all pure humbug. A man is justified in making money in any honest way, and he's but a fool who can and won't do it. Those who grumble most are they who succeed least. Theo. Lang has opened a branch store and greenhouse at Ninety-third street and boulevard. This place was occupied for many years by E. J. Smyth. Moore. Hentz & Nash will have a crop of specially fine Maids and Brides in for Easter. A. D. Rose has been kept in close quarters by a carbuncle on the back of the head, but he's all right now and ready for his usual Easter rush. Wm. Prosser. who Is a prince of good fellows and made Vaughan's store whatever success it is here, has branched out for himself and has opened an oflice at 57 Maiden Lane. We wish bini the best of luck. Robert Klft was with us during rose show week. He made a very fine ex- hibit of his patent vase and holders at APRIL 5, 33011. The Weekly Florists' Review, 553 the rose show.

GRAND RAPIDS, MICH. Easter Outlook. The weather has been liright and warm, very favorable for bringing out the flowers, but nevertheless we are experiencing a c-arnation famine. Hardly a shipping order the past vtek that has been filled as ordered. When all efforts to get flowers whole- sale failed, buying a few dozen here and there at retail, in order to make out. was resorted to. but not even a dozen could be procured, and yet. they say this is Leutl As tar as business is concerned, it might better be dubbed holiday time. Roses are in good sup- ply, auality fine, price $1..50 ner doz. Violets are blooming themselves to death. Longiflnrum lilies are coming in fine shape, but much of the bulb stock is turning out remarkably poor, not of near so good (uiality as last year. Leaving out carnations, the outlook for the supply for Ea.ster is good; and we believe we shall see all records broken by the amount of business done. Another bulb agent, Hubsrc Elffers. is around town, trying to round up any bulb order that miglit have been missed. G. F. CRABB. MR. P. S. PEER. Mt. Morris, N. Y., sends us the catalogues of the two foreign houses for which he is sole American agent. That of De Graaff Bros.. Ijtd., Leiden.

PITTSBURG. Cut flower trade has been lietter this Lent than in former years. Carnations have been very scarce for a month or more, but roses are more plentiful since the days have lengthened. Some very nice valley and longiflo- rum lilies are sent in by Fred Burki. Harrisii is rather poor and is of slow sale. A great many more tulips could have been used the past month. The Ludwigs, at Allegheny Market, make a very nice display each day. They do a large business at less ex- pense than the store men. A. W. Smith gave up his stand in the market last summer and now devotes all his time and energy to his large store on Sixth avenue, Pittsburg, and his greenhouses at Mt. Washington. He will be ready for Easter with a large lot of bulbous stock. A. M. & J. B. Murdock have dis- solved partnership. Mr. A. M. Mur- dock will continue, as usual, the busi- nes.s at the old stand. He has been the active partner in the business anyway lately. The outlook for Easter is higher prices for carnations, roses and lilies, with other stock about the same prices as last year. Lilies are not so plentiful as they were last year. John Murchie, of Sharon Hill, has among a lot of good carnations a white seedling, in bloom, that seems to be better than any other white now on the market. He is taking especial care of it and as he is a very successful grower of carnations he will handle it all right. His neighbor. McConnell, also a car- nation grower, has been in the city on his way east to look up the new carnations and see them growing at their respective homes. He reports an off crop for Easter. BAER. LOUISVILLE, KY. Louise Haupt, wife of Mr. Fred Haupt, the florist, has purchased an in- terest in a very desirable piece of prop- erty on Fourth avenue, between Wal- nut and Chestnut streets, upon which will be erected a handsome four-story brick store building, the ground floor to be divided into two stores, one of which will be occupied by Mr. Haupt. The price paid for the property was $.'!8.000. HUDSON, WIS.— One of B. L. Grant's vegetable houses was burned March 21 and 1,000 bushels of onion sets were destroyed. Loss covered by insurance.

Mt--ntion Tlif Ro\l.jw when yi,'U writ'- PEORIA, ILL. Peace and contentiaent reign su- preme and the florists are doing their share. The outlook for Easter trade could not possibly he brighter. Mr. Jas. C. Murray reports a good catalogue trade in addition to his local business, which has been brisk all along. I noticed some fine Beauties, Brides and Maids on the counter, a mere glimpse of what one may see in his greenhouses. Cole Bros, are cutting carnations by the bushel, and fine ones at that. What is equally encouraging is the fact of the demand keeping pace with the supply. C. Loveridge, though comparativey new, having established himself on his own account about a year ago, has met with ample success. I say "new." but this by no mean.s implies that he is a novice. On the contrary Mr. I.yOve- ridge may be ranked among the best growers, being especially succes.sful with roses. Years of experience as manager of Mr. Murray's and other places have fully equipped him to manage a place of his own. His plant, consisting of four gresn- houses, each 12.5x2.5, on Wisconsin av- enue, is a model of neatness, while the stock grown, and particularly .Ameri- can Beauties, is all that could be de- sired. Mr. Loveridge has likewise a fine and well appointed store at 321 Main street. I regret having missed the gen'al Mr. Kuhl, of Pekin. A glance at hs I'eoria store sufficed to convince me that the Pekin greenhouse establish- ment produces some remarkably fine stock. S. MOORESTOWN, N.

THIS IS WHAT THE NEW YORK PRESS HAS TO SAY ABOUT IT! N. Y. HRIiALD. There was the new Anierieail Lisauty, a rose as laree and as well formed as Its darker sistei-, and of a delicate pink color. Many of the uatronesses stopped before the great clusters of this new tlower and ex- pressed the greatest admiration for its beauty and its gracefulness. There are many who regard it as more beautiful than the well Known rose from which it has developed. N. Y. TIMES. The novelty of the exhibition was tlv lonp- looked-for pink American Beauty, of which so much has been said and which has never been shown before. Its History is an Inter- esting one, and shows how fortunes come ac- cidentally to the rose grower as they do to some other toilers. Four years ago, in a house devoted to the propagation of Ameri- can Beauties, at Edgely. Penn,, by the Floral Exchange Company, of Philadelphia, a freak mai its appe To and rose growers its growth w iranic was called a "stiort, carefully watched. .Soon a small pink bud made its appearance, the only blonde in that household of lovely brunettes. Modestly it unfolded, and then its growth for four years under special con- ditions was as carefully looked after as the most delicate child. It grew and thrived, last night the queenly blonde receiveil and homage from her courtiers. The American Rose Society awarded it a Certificate, whicli means that she is lovely as well as a debu- tante. She will not stoop to trade until next spring, when in the busy marts she will vie for favor with her brunette sister. All this is the result of an accident that even the growers do not attempt to explain, was their luck, they say, that is all. It The Queen N. of T. WORLD.

They are even cheaper than the baskets, and after being filled with moss the moss can be thoroughly soaked without any dan- ger of wetting the table linen, with the result that the flowers last much longer in llicui and give better satis- faction, THE FLORISTS' MANUAL. Tile I'Torisls' Manual, by William Scott. Florists' Publishing Co., Chi- cago. A reference book for commei*- cial florists. The author's first aim in preparing this work was to fill a long felt want among florists— a book describing the best plants commercially, with cul- tural advice founded on experience. Viewed in this light, it is a valu- able and instructive work, very complete in its details. But it need not be confined to circulation among florists and others commercially con- nected, although gardeners and ama- teurs need not e.xpect in it a work ex- actly fitting their requirements. Rather judge it through the author's own words, i, e.: "If those who favor us with a perusal of its pages glean only one hint which may help them * * * they will have received value for their money." A work resulting from Mr. Scott's long and varied ex- . perience, "from selling a bunch of vio- lets over the counter to planting a tree or seeding a lawn or building a green- house," cannot but throw out many hints of value to any one interested in any line of horticulture or flower gar- dening. The comparatively small index confronting the reviewer at first is far from encouraging, but as the purpose of the author is more clearly brought to light, it is better appreciated. It shows the intention to treat of the most desirable and profitable things to handle — a condensation which many will enjoy. Many interesting sub- jects are brought to headings, such as "Easter Plants," "Watering," "Decorations," "Potting," "Bedding Plants." etc. Not the least of value to the possessor of this book are the beautiful half-tone illusti'ations, num- bering more than 100, and thoroughly illustrating the subjects treated. Critical persons may object to the in- terspersing of advertisements with the reading matter, though it is not made very obtrusive; yet it must be remem- bered that the work is designed for commercial purposes, and not strictly as a library book. — Meehan's Monthly. We have gotten much valuable in- struction from the Florists' Manual and prize it highly. Franklin. Tenn." TRUETT BROS. The Florists' Manual is a gem. No florist can afford to be without it. Madison, N. J. A. J. BAUR. A FLORAL PICK. If every one has enjoyed your book as I have it's a successful publication. It is different from our usual horticul- tural works, being plain and concise — just what one wants. H. D. DARLINGTON. Flushing, N. Y. Dennis ilouUlian, a public contractor and ex-aldernian, died. He bad come over from Ireland when a l)oy, and from the bottom r\ing of the ladder had climbed through a series of failures and successes until at last he was awarded with riches in reasonable amount and political preference beyond the dreams of his ancestors. The fun- eral was made notable by the many beautiful floral offerings sent by the business and political friends of. the deceased. When the widow came in for a fare- well look at her honest spouse she had enough of feminine curiosity left to glance up, between the spasms of her lamentations, at the flower designs that surrounded the bier. ■Arrah, Dinny, dear, ef yez cud on'y see th' parties thot they hev brung yez!" she moaned. "Oh me! Oh my! Here be a pillow o' daisies. Dinny boy, fer yez t' shlape on in paradise. An' here be th' gates ajar that'll let yez in ter glory. (Sniffle, sniffle, sniffle.) An'. Oh me! Oh my! Here be th' golden harrup made o' posies. Dinny dear, but they didn't know as yez wuz th' musician on th' accordion, at all, at all. (More sniffle.) Yez 'ill hev t' learn th' harrup, Dinny boy." The widow's curious eyes continued to take in the adornments of the mourning room with a tearful appre- ciation of the honors done her "Dinny" in the hour of death. Suddenly she es- pied near the foot of the casket a large anchor of lilies. Not having nau- tical knowledge enough to understand the poetic signiflcance of the emblem, and being particularly sensitive as to the subject of her husband's humble origin, she lost her temper and forgot her grief in this impassioned inquiry: "Who th' divil sint thot pick?"— De- troit Free Press. AN ANNIVERSARY TRIBUTE. An anniversary floral tribute pre- sented to a Washington official con- sisted of a huge bouquet of roses rising from a base of suitable greens, there being a rose for each year of his life, and pendant from the roses were red, white and blue ribbons on which were lettered in gold the leading events in his career. THE 190O catalogue of Messrs. Ell- wanger & Barry. Rochester, N. Y., is certainly a beauty. Half-tone engrav- ings from photographs are used throughout as illustrations and look- ing them over one is more than ever inclined to the belief that to "paint the lily" is ridiculous. For what wood cut or exaggerated drawing was ever half so beautiful as these truthful pic- tures of trees, shrubs, roses, fruits, etc.. as nature made them!

CLEVELAND, The stores are looking very attract- ive just now with their azaleas, hya- cinths, tulips, etc.. in pans and flats. Gasser Is showing a window with a foundation of wood moss, with orange trees in fruit, also pineapples in vari- ous stages of development. A beauti- ful wreath of pansies shaded from light blue to black and down through all the shades of brown to yellow and back to the blue, was a recent bit of good work seen in their window. An- other wreath of Adiantum gracillimum with a cluster spray of Cattleya Mos- siae was also noted. Another taking arrangement was Kift's vases done in pansies. The flowers being fine, it was most attractive. Mr. Smith, of Smith & Patters, is do- . ing the east and expects to return with ' Easter novelties galore. E. J. Pad- dock reports much trouble with lilies this year. Says it doesn't pay to grow Harrisii any more. Guy Bates, of Bates Bros., says he hasn't seen a first-class Harrisii lily this year. This firm is handling some good roses this year. The market florists report pretty good business. Funeral work has been very brisk and has used up much that otherwise would have been a surplus. One of our large dry goods and cloth- ing stores had an opening this week, at which "spring flowers" played quite a prominent part, ten to twelve hya- cinths in a pan, tulips ditto and staked with concealed wires, all pots and pans covered with fluffy masses of crepe tis- sue and ribbons, in the right shades and blendings, as well as azaleas, and also some well done Azalea Mollis, which was "stunning" for this use. Plenty of cinerarias are in flower and of a good strain. All the florists seem to have grown a batch, with the result that the market is a little overdone. Mrs. Schneider has removed her stand in The Arcade to one of the stores nearer Euclid avenue, where she has more room. Miss Rock, a niece of Mrs. .T. M. Gasser and sister of Will Rock, of Kansas City, died of typhoid fever lately, and her mother is now very ill with the same disease. The Holland men have been with us lately and the wholesalers compla'n that they can't collect anything. The Hollanders cleared up everything. Mrs. Ella G. Wilson recently ad- dressed Sorosis, the largest woman's club in the city, on "Plants in our Homes, ' illustrating her talk with plants from the greenhouse, showing how root develoi)ment affected growth, how overwatering and drought affect- ed them, and nnich other useful knowledge of this kind. This is the missionary work that is needed and the ladies requested Mrs. Wilson to give another talk on the same subject, she having already given two. This is a new subject for woman's clubs, and the (luestions asked the speaker showed that great interest was taken in it. E. G. W. '"Sl'l^V'Earliest of All " Burpee's Notwithstanding their dw.irf habit and neat, slender foliage, tiie plants are ol \ igorous growth and come into bloom always ten days to two weeks in advance of the Extra Early Blanche Ferry, which has been heretofore a week ahead ol all other varieties. Growing only two feet in height, tlie plants do not require the support of brush or trellis. .As an illustration ol its e.vtremely early- tlowering habit, we would state that now (Oct. ISth) we have plants in fine bloom from seed gathered from our spring planting and sown during the latter part of .August. A constant succession of bloom may be had from lune until November by making sowings about one month apart. Its extremly early flowering habit makes it most satisfactory for the Southern States, as it may be easily had in full bloom before the hot summer weather. 'The flowers are as large as those of the regular strains of Blanche Ferry, and have long, stout stems, making them entirely satisfactory for cutting ; they are borne in close clusters of three, all facing one way. The standards arc a bright, rich pink, while the wings are nearly pure white. Burpee's "Earliest of All" is not only the earliest to bloom in open ground, but is also the most desiralile tor forcing under glass for winter cut flowers. The dwarf habit of this variety renders it much more easily gri>wn tin the benches, admits nf closer planting, and from seed sown during the latter part ol .August blooms may be cut during the holidays, while with taller varieties no blooms could be had before February or March.

Garland : The object of the invention is to provide a valley-gutter for greenhouses which will be so constructed as to combine a stop for the glass and a drip-conductor. Another object of the invention is to so construct the gutter that the devices for fastening the gutter to supports will be below the weather-face of the gutter, thus avoiding perforations of the weather-face and consequent liability to leakage. The nails, screws, or other fastening devices are passed through the drop flanges and into the lower ends of the roof-beams, so that these fastening devices for connecting the valley-gutter to the roof structure are below the weather-faces of the valley-gutter, and consequently the weather-faces of the valley-gutter need not be perforated, insuring against leakage. x/' -<^^^^ %.

Don't fret if you have a few plants left over at Easter. Some things you can cut and introduce into boxes of cut flowers, and others will come in handy for decorations. It will do you no good, however, to have small rem- nants or half-faded looking stock hanging around your store. Don't throw it away; send it to some chari- table institution. Many sensitive and conceited florists when they have lots of stock left on an occasion like this hide it and pretend they have .sold out: it's foolish to do so, for many a good sale can be made after the rush is over. Monday morning early the window- should be washed and store cleaned thoroughly, all the unsalable plants put where they will not be seen in the back of the store, and whatever good stock you have left should be semi- carelessly arranged in the window or about the store; no need for fancy dis- plays, but there is for cleanliness and the general appearance of having everything neat and fresh. The best of your customers are apt to visit yo\i Raster Monday to arrange for some ilfeeoration, and nothing will please them better than fresh flowers and a clean store. We forgot, in last week's notes, to say a word for your help. See to it that they get something to eat; if you cannot afford to let them go out for meals have it brought to them: don't be inhuman and forget reason in your mad chase after profits. Good, intelli- gent help is getting scarce in the flower business; if you have any respect it. There will be a plentiful crop of wed- dings and other festivities from now on, and it behooves you to do your best on every occasion be it great or small. You needn't be "up-to-date"; you can be far ahead of it by leaving trashy subterfuges alone, and giving the peo- ple good and natural looking decora- tions. We happen not lo be of that species which can tell you how, but not be able to do it ourselves. At the recent exhibition of the American Rose Society at New York we arranged the mantel and the mirror decorations, winning first prizes for both. We are sorry it was impossible to give you illustrations of either: our designs were simple, but you are sure to win anywhere with them if they are done properly. Get a good, long climbing rose, with plenty of foliage, have a stout wire branched tree made (just a simple long steel wire any length desired, with a few Irregular steel wires sold- ered on to it), put the end In the pot, fasten the top to the mirror or man- tel and then tie the rose branches to the wires and make it appear as if growing there. Don't have it formal, make a branch hang outwards, another acro.ss the mirror, one long, and a little from the bottom, and so on. The idea is not to have a curtain or frame or anything that appears the work of a nicchanie; you must copy nature and make this look like a naturally grow- ing climbing rose. Get some of the green glasses, such as Reed & Keller or Kift offers for sale (those detached and with holes to be hung by are the only ones suitable for this work), fill them with water and tie them at ir- regular intervals on the tree: into Fliese put your roses in a manner suit- able to the occasion; wire a few bloom? and attach them to the end of the branches, and here and there between the glasses. Onlv one colored rose can be used: nothing mu.st be seen but flower and foliage. A good vase of roses can be put at one side of the mantel shelf, some of the blooms falling over, but a spray of growing foliage should also be across the shelf, frepe papers, ribbons or any tom-foolerv must not be put near this work. Wash the pot clean, and even if you cannot cover it with small rose plants, it will not detract from your work. It isn't necessary for you to cover up every piece of woodwork on the frame: pay attention to your own design, use nft other kind of green. You must create the effect of a beau- tiful climbing rose in full bloom. If you have no Ramblers you can manu- facture one out of small plants, or even cut foliage, which must be well wat- ered before using. This method of decorating is suitable for all occasions and is adaptable to all forms and places— arches, wedding arbors, frieze work, etc., etc. It is the style of the future, it encourages a greater use of plants and flowers, less artificial hum- bug. You might think you can im- prove on what you see in nature some- times, but you only mistake. There Is more beauty in her extreme simplicity than in your far-fetched and nonde- scrip works; recognize this and suc- ceed. There is a woeful lack of the right foliage in basket and in general work wherf> roses predominate. If you have hybrid roses in pots soak them well and stick a few extra roses In them. A design like this in a jardiniere or pot basket can be made prettier than a basket of ciit roses. There are many times when it pays to cut pot grown plants for use as foliage in vases of roses. More pot grown roses should be used in baskets and in general de- sign work instead of smilax, aspara- gus, or foreign greens. There will be a vast amount of flow- •n-ing plants used in decorations this spring, because there will be quite a few, particularly lilies, left over from Raster. When you go to decorate a 596 The Weekly Florists^ Review. APRIL 12, 1900. room be careful of the general effect, don't kill the heauty of some gem of a picture, vase or tapestry by plat-ing near it loud crepe papers, ribbons or jarring colors in flowers, even. .Just show that a florist can be an aiti.'-t, and in the respecting and appreciating of other arts, make your own more beau- tiful by proper application. A spray of roses might be permissible over one corner or at the bottom of some fine picture or statue, a bunch or garland cleanliness lend charms to man and his works. They are badly needed. There will be an immense quantity of pansies planted out this spring. The window-box, vase and outdoor orna- mentations are becoming immeasur- ably popular in New York. A great many are being put out already and you can do a great deal to encourage this line of work. Get them out as soon as you can, people like to have them in for Easter. Mix the colors An Irish Harp. of common greens never — that would be desecration, an evidence of ignor- ance, and it is the knowledge of what is proper that will always keep suc- cessful decorators in the minority. People may buy their flowers and plants from fakirs or "cheap .Johns," but when they want particular work done they generally go to the florist with a reputation. It is not wise to be cheap if they come to you; the qual- ity of your work makes them pay for it, for cheapness is not always appre- ciated. There Is one important thing to re- member. When you send men to dec- orate a house don't let them go and take possession of the place, and act as if they owned it. A florist should never assume the demeanor of a "tough." Politeness, carefulness and well or group them. Ivy properly planted in boxes or vases now will serve for summer filling, also. IVERA. AN IRISH HARP. The harp design shown was made by the writer recently in a gi-eat hurry. The frame was as near as we could get to the facsimile of an an- cient Irish harp, but it is faulty; the top beam is a little too short and the frontal bar does not curve enough, yet it is better than any we have seen illustrated. Floral harps as a rule are too much like a triangle; there is no shape to them. The real Irish harp is a very beauti- ful design when properly made. The strings should be of gold and silver twisted tinsel braid; if not, then of yellow chenille. Purple should never be used. The design shown was yel- low chenille twisted around the wires and the inner frame was of yellow roses (Perle des Jardins). The outer part was of Bride roses and a few gar- denias. A small silk Irish flag with a cluster of forget-me-nots was at- tached to the center of the strings. The design was made by request of the Irish Society of New York to be sent to a prominent member's funeral. For Irish societies or patriotic indi- viduals it is a most appi'opriate de- sign, but be careful to get it correct. There are several varieties of harps, but only one suitable In this case. Made up in strong colors, it is also appropriate for festive occasions. People are particular about their na- tional emblems, and it's easy to be right. IVERA. EEL- WORMS IN ROSES. I mail you a diseased rose plant un- der separate cover. I have lost one bench from this cause. The roses seemed to be in a healthy condition, but inside of one week they would shed their foliage: this would start in the middle of the bench and continue the entire length of the bench, while some few plants on the outer edges of the bench escaped. The Boil at the time was on the dry side. I know I have some spider, but don't think that it is the cause. Can vou tell me the trouble and the cause of it? L. C. The rose plant has been examined and the roots are found to be galled, and nematodes in all stages of develop- ment are in abundance. This is cause enough for the sickness of the whole plant. The premature falling of the leaves is due in part to the insects that are sapping their vitality. Such plants are beyond curer and should be burned root and branch. BYRON D. HALSTED. CYCAS REVOLUTA. A subscriber asks for some points on starting these important plants. The dormant stems when first re- ceived are destitute of roots. They should be put into pots very little larger than the diameter of the stem. Drain the pots, using a turfy loam, with a fifth or so of well rotted ma- nure. Pot firmly and plunge the pots in some material where the tempera- ture is 7.5 to 80 degrees. The tempera- ture of the house should not be below 65 degrees at any time, but it is the bottom heat, to produce root action, that is the essential part of the op- eration. 'When they have made a growth of leaves and you are sure that they have made roots, the bottom beat can be dispensed with, but for the first year they should have a warm, shaded bench. When first potted they want a good watering, but till growth starts and they make roots they will not APRII. 12. 1900. The Weekly Florists* Review* 597 t-. ^' 's '-- 1- *. 4 Four New Cattleyas. want any more watering thiui j\ist Lo keep them moderately moist. In the case of established plants that have lost all their leaves by some abuse it is best to shake them out of the tubs they are in and after trim- ming off all the dead roots start them going in a smaller pot or tub an-^l treat them as you do the dormant stems. When healthy and furnished with plenty of leaves the cycas wants plenty of water, so it should have drainage, a rich, coarse soil, and, if confined to a small tub, liquid ma- nure will much help them. A cycas will stand a good deal of abuse when well established, but should never be sold to a customer until thoroughly well furnished w^ith roots. W. S. FOUR GEMS OF ORCHIDS. A great deal is being written now- adays about new roses, carnations and other flowers, and 'twould seem that all the floricultural energy was being devoted to the production of gi- gantic specimens of those flowers. The quiet, delicate flowers we know as orchids depend for popularity on intelligence and refinement and It is a pleasure to see that this class of flowers are yearly becoming more ap- preciated. The demand for choice flowers is not a mere season fancy. Orchids are wanted all the year round and the quantity used in New York alone is something enormous. Spe- cialists have adopted new methods of cultivation and finer blooms were never seen than those supplied to the American market. A visit to the extensive collection of Messrs. Lager & Hurrell, at Sum- mit, N. J., is always of the greatest interest to lovers of orchids. There is always something new or rare to be seen there. This firm has produced many grand cattleya hybrids. The il- lustration shown is of a group of new ones growing in their cattleya houses in the early part of March. No. 1 is Cattleya Trianae Summitensis, a charming variety originated by Ar- thur Herrington, Madison, N. J. No. 2, Cattleya Trianae var., a splendid variety, sepals, petals and lip white, lightly suffused with the most deli- cate shade of lilac. No. 3, Cattleya Trianae var., sepals and petals of a beautiful light lilac, color of lip rosy lilac, large and open, a very fine and desirable variety. No. 4, also Cattleya Trianae var.. sepals and petals dark lilac, the latter with a large longi- tudinal blotch of purple extending from the tips half way down toward the base, lip intense purple. This is a gem among splashed varieties. The plant in the center, not numbered, is a seedling cattleya coming into flow- er for the first time. These grand flowers, in addition to many move, past and to come, have originated and are growing at Lager & Hurrell's es- tablishment at Summit, N. J. J. 1. DONLAN. PLANT RUSTS. By Fkof. Byron D. IIalsied. fRead before the Massachusetts Horticultural Society.] There are at least three rusts that have made themselves proiiinent among ornamental plants during the past few years. A leading rust in the flower garden is that of the hollyhock (Puccinia malvacearum Mont.), which came into this country in 1890, and spread with remarkable rapidity and fatality. It develops upon all parts of till' hollyhock as the leaves, stem and floral parts, causing them all to sicken and die. This rust is a good illustra- tion of those that have only the teleuto form of the spore and the sporidia that grow directly from it. In other words, the cluster cup and uredo stages are omitted, and the first stage becomes the last, so far as spore development U|)on the host is concerned. The great rate at which the fungus spreads is to be accounted for largely because it hi- bernates as the living mycelium in the hollyhock, the young leaves of which exist as a i-osette through the winter. As the warm, moist weather co i es the orange patches upon the foliage en- large and quickly develop spores that almost at once form the sporidia which rapidly spread the rust to other parts of the hollyhock. Another observation that may be made in connection with the hollyhock rust is its scarcity at certain times. For exampit, in 1898 there was an abundance of hollyhock rust, while a year later there was al- most none upon plants badly rusted the year before. It may be said in ex- planation that the conditions were un- favorable for the disease, and the health of the plants was restored. Good growing weather with no excess of moisture is the best ally of the victim, and if it comes in time, many kinds of plants will recover from an attack that might be otherwise disastrous. Another new rust is that of the car- nation (Uromyces Caryophyllinus Schr.), which reached us, probably from Europe in imported stock, in 1891, and is still in evidence in nearly all parts of the country. The condi- tions here are quite different from the open garden, for heat and moisture and a more or less confined air in the greenhouse supply the surroundings favorable for .the growth and spread of the rust. The spray from the hose in watering, for example, is one of the best means of carrying the spores from a diseased to a healthy plant. The ex- periments that have been made with this disease are somewhat limited, but they go to show that preventive meas- ures are better than attempted cures. From the fact that the carnation is largely an indoor plant and propagated by cuttings, it goes without saying that the stock should be healthy from which cuttings are taken, and no rust- ed plants should be introduced into a house previously free fro n rust. One rusted plant under the circumstances of greenhouse growth may be ample to inoculate a whole bed, and this ac- counts for the sudden outbreak of the rust in houses hundreds or thousands of miles apart. Carnation growers are gradually acquiring a knowledge of the susceptibility of varieties and are find- ing some sorts in this respect much more valuable than others. 598 The Weekly Florists' Review* APItl I. 1:. !■' The latest claimant for our atten- tion among the greenhouse rusts is that of the chrysanthemum. As yet the advent of this importation from Europe has not been traced baclj ot 1S96, when it was found by Mr. Hast- ings of Fitchburg, Mass., and reported by Dr. Stone in the ninth annual re- port of your experiment station. From foreign correspondence it is gathered that it was rampant in France and then spread throughout England, where it was very destructive, partic- ularly in 1898. With ns it has in- creased quite rapidly during the past three years, and during the last one It has become decidedly troublesome. Up to the present time only the uredo the carnation. The two rusts are, however, <\-ery distinct, belonging to dilTerent genera of fungi, and not transmissible from one host plant to the other. In the treatment ot our subject we have made a few selections of typical rust plants from widely separated host plants, and have endeavored to bring before the hearer so i e of the more important points connected with one of the leading groups of destructive fungi. We have seen that rusts in- fest herbs, shrubs and trees. The for- ests are not exempt from them, and even the giant pines are destroyed by them. The blackberry and raspberry rust is one of the most serious pests Carnation Gov. Roosevelt. [Given the full number of points for form at Buffalo ] form has been met with upon Ameri- can plants and therefore it is impos- sible to be sure of the species. While this is interesting from the standpoint of the botanist it may be of no great economic importance. However, it the other forms are associated with the dandelion or similar related com- mon wild species the bearing of this knowledge upon the checking of the rust is at once apparent. This disease is so recent with us that there is very little in the line of remedies that has been determined experimentally. It being a greenhouse plant propagated by cuttings, the precautionary meas- ures are practically the same as with to growers ot bush fruits. It shows it- self in early spring, dwarfing the cane and ruining the foliage. When such an infected plant is cut to the ground the new shoots springing from the stock will also become rusted like the first growth of the year. Actual mi- croscopic examination of the tissue ol the root demonstrates the presence of the perennial mycelium. With these facts before us it is not strange that the multitudes of experiments made to eradicate the disease by spraying the plants result in failure. The Bor- deaux or other mixture when upon healthy plants may help to prevent the spread of the disease; but when once within the tissues of root and stem It is out of reach of spraying compounds. It goes without any argument that all such rusted plants need to be dug up aud destroyed root and branch, and the earlier this is done the less likeli- hood there will be of the infection spreading by means of the spores. The burn heap is one of the best adjuncts of a well equipped horticultural estab- lishment. It excels greatly the rubbish pile. Ashes may be blown about by the winds, and no serious inoculations follow from them. The "seed treatment," so called, for the prevention of diseases in grain fields, while ot great value with the smuts, is not effective with the rusts. The oat or wheat smut spores are pro- duced in the grain itself and healthy grains become bmeared and dusted with the sports. The last resort in all cases when rust is suspected is to fur- nish the best possible conditions for the growth of the crop, bearing in mind that vigilance is especially demanded when the foe is at hand. Any neglect, as lack of light, air, food, or water, or a surplus of the same, may engender a weakness that will cause the plants to fall a victim at the first opportunity. CARNATION GOV. ROOSEVELT. The dark crimson carnation raised by Mr. C. W. Ward and given the pop- ular name of Governor Roosevelt, as exhibited at Buffalo received the full number of points for form and in the opinion of the judges it was perfect in that respect, or at least the most perfect of any carnation up to date. Opinions may differ as to form, but in this case there was hut one opin- ion with three men. Roosevelt is a perfectly round flower but not so finely defined as to tire. Its edge is nicely broken up with fim- briated petals. It is high and full but not crowded. Each succeeding whorl of petals is slightly shorter than the under one and the edges of the petals being cut or laciniated the flower has a full rich appearance with- out the crowding of the petals of some varieties or the stiffness of others. It had in the judges' estimation the right number of petals to make a full pleas- ing flower, a form that when looked at for a few moments became still more pleasing to the eye. Two of the very finest carnations yet sent out are so perfect in outline that you wish they were not so regu- lar, and when well grown their regu- larity gives you the feeling ot cold- ness, grand flowers as they are. I al- lude to White Cloud and Olympia. Other fine varieties are marred by an overcrowding of petals which detracts from their grace and the feeling they produce 1 would pronounce "uncom- fortableness." Governor Roosevelt is not the only carnation of fine form by any means, but the qualities 1 have mentioned make it in my opinion the nearest to perfection we have yet reached. It has a splendid broad calyx, which allows Al'Itll. 12. 1900. The Weekly Florists^ Review. 599 Carnation Gov. Roosevelt.

Ot its habit of growth or productiveness I Ivnow scarcely any- thing, but as I understand it will not be sent out till 1902 there will be am- ple opportunity to learn of those great essentials. " WM. SCOTT. FROM OUR ENGLISH EXCHANGES. Gardeners' Magazine. SWEET PEAS. — Substantial prog- ress is being made towards celebrating the introduction of the sweet pea into Great Britain 200 years ago. This celebration is to be held on July 20 and 21, at the Crystal Palace, Sydenham, and will take the form of a grand ex- hibition of sweet peas shown in bunches, in vases, in pots. In pans, in baskets, in bouquets. In wieaths, in table decorations, and in other ways that may suggest themselves to the gardener and florist; at the same time a conference will be held, at which pa- pers will be read and discussed. POT ROSE S.— -Constant turning around, and slightly moving the sur- face soil does the plants far more good than many would deem possible. This frequent handling of the plants also en- ables Us to note where one Is over dry or too wet as compared with the re- mainder; a rather important point where so many plants are grown. Nothing enables one to so quickly de- termine the tone condition of a plant as handling it. ABUTILONS FOR BEDDING.— Dur- ing recent years tine foliaged plants have been used extensively in summer bedding arrangement, and those abuti- lons having variegated leafage have had a fair share of attention at the hands of the gardener, and been placed in the front rank of this group. PENZANCE BRIERS.— The Penzance sweet-briers require hardly any prun- ing, as they would be entirely out of character if cut hard back. Thin out the growths somewhat, removing the weakest first. Recently planted speci- mens should be cut back to within a foot of the ground to ensure strong growth from the base. A fairly rich soil will suit these briers and enable them to make good growth. _ CLEMATIS AS A BEDDING PLANT. The clematis is always beautiful no matter where planted or how trained. As a climber it is deservedly popular, but it Is when planted against old ruins or in the wild garden that its beauty is best displayed. For planting in beds in the flower garden, as a per- manency the clematis are wonderfully effective. Thus planted, their elegant form and extreme beauty are shown oft to advantage. In planting clematis it should be borne In mind that they are gross feeders, hence the necessity of applying some well-rotted manure lo the bed bolli at the time of planting and as an annual winter dressing. A sound loam incorporated with a goodly portion ot manure best suits the cle- matis; at tlie same time they are not very fastidious as to soils. \\ here the natural staple is of a light, poor de- scription, then means must be taken lo ameliorate it by taking out, to a depth of two feet, the natural soil and re- placing it with loam, mortar rubble, and cbarred refuse, the latter ingre- dient may be worked in and about the roots of the plants at planting time. Strong specimens should in all cases be procured in order that they may the quicker produce an elfect and cover the allotted space. A trellis of iron or wood m convex form should be erected over the bed, and the shoots as they advance in growth during the summer BhouUl be urawu through and over this. During dry summer weather abundance ot liquid manure should be supplied alternately with clear water. A sma!l quantity of some good ferti- lizer is occasionally used, with higiily beneficial results. In the month oi February a slight ihinning of the shoots should take place, afterwards disposing the remaining ones evenly over the trellis. In selecting varieties it is advisable to give preierence to those which are robust in constitution, as the Jackmaui, patens, and viticella types. SNOW EFFECT IN TABLE DECO- RATION.—The decoration, briefly stat- ed, consisted of handsome birch branches and foliage of various kinds, all moistened and then freely dusted over with flour. A base of clay is used, and into this the whitened material is lixed as tastefully as possible, and when all is finished, another dusting of flour is given, finishing off with a tree sprinkling of powdered glass to pro- duce the glistening effect of frost and snow. SCARLET VARIETY OF PRIMULA OBCONICA.— It is of interest to ob- serve that while Mr. Shea has been busily engaged in the hydridization of Primula obconica with P. sinensis, the continental raisers have been endeav- oring to obtain high colored forms of the first - named species by selective process. A so-called scarlet variety has been figured in Revue Horticole, and with reference to it Monsieur P. de Vilmorin writes: "The new, large, scarlet variety marked with purple is the commencement of a new era in the evolution of P. obconica. We were al- ready far from the original type; the plant, having lost none of its hardiness or of its profuseness of bloom, had pro- duced larger and still larger flowers, sometimes fringed or fimbriated on the edges, and variable in color from rose to pure white. It now appears to move in a contrary direction, that is to say, towards the darker tints of Its primi- tive color. Without being too pre- sumptuous we anticipate that in the 600 The Weekly Florists' Review. APRIL 12, 1900. near future it will be able to hold its own with the Chinese primrose. It has already the advantage over the latter of being more healthful, more hardy and fioriferous, carrying Us clusters of bloom on longer stems, with the foli- age better separated. FORCING ACACIAS. — The London markets are liberally supplied with flowering sprays of Acacia dealbata and one or two other species that come from the south of France two or three months before the trees bloom natural- ly in that section. Ot course, this means that a forcing process has to be resorted to. The method adopted is extremely simple. Large casks are provided, and each one is fitted with a latticework stage fixed about midway between the bottom and top. The branches are cut from the trees and at once placed in upright metal or earth- enware vases filled with water, and taken to the cask and arranged rather close together in two tiers, one on the bottom and the other on the stage. For maintaining the requisite temperature a boiler is provided very similar in form to an ordinary still, and this is heated by a petroleum stove. A pipe is taken from the apex of the boiler to the interior of the cask, which it en- ters just below the middle stage, and curves downwards until the end nearly touches the bottom. It is said that by this arrangement the steam from the pipes does not condense upon the branches, and a temperature ranging from 75 to 85 degrees is readily main- tained. In cutting the branches for forcing care is taken to select those bearing flowers in the most advanced state of development. NEW YORK. It is diflicult at this writing to say what Easter trade will be, but the prospects are very good. Stock is plen- tiful, prices promise to be fair, and all seems ready for an unprecedented bus- iness. Styles will not vary very much from those of other years. All en- deavor appears to be concentrated on quality. Fine weather will surely cause a greater use of cut flowers, and as for plants, the sales will be enormous. At present it looks as if there will be no cause to grumble from those having good fresh stock, but (and there the shoe will always pinch) there are many who are shipping "preserved" stock in- to the market, and they will growl the loudest. The general plant season is opening up very good and we hear the best kind of reports from seedsmen, nurs- erymen and geranium growers. Cleary's auction of dormant Irish rosies on Friday last was the greatest on record. Talk about your sentiment! Anything Irish, or, for that matter, "green." goes well these times, because Iri£.ti blood flows freely on both sides at the Transvaal. We hear many funny stories here by way of London, Canada, and the Lifty anent the wearing of shamrocks on "Paddy's Day"; yes, they're awful fuiiviy. We wore a bit ourselves, but it was dipped in ink. But there, Cloary wants you to hurry up for your space at tlie great conven- tion show, and Charlie Weathered wants yeur name in the gem of a sou- V(!nir he is preparing, so write them botli at once. And ye bowlers, oh! ye sports of Flora's kingdom, why don't you enter for the greatest ot bowling tournaments? Chairman Roehrs is anxious. Only four teams have so far declared their intentions, and he ex- 'pects twelve more to do so; let them do to at once. Alleys must be engaged shortly, and the committee on sports wants to have some idea of what will be necessary. We see many large scores reported from St. Louis, Denver and other villages; why don't they en- tei for the wagon-load of prizes which will surely be offered on this great oc- casion. 'The Hews Pottery Co. is the latest to offer anything in their orna- mental catalogue for a bowler's prize. The regular meeting of the Florists'- Club was held on Monday night. Pres- ident O'Mara presided. On account of Easter the meeting was very large, but it was fairly business-like, and many impoitant matters were disposed of. It was decided that instead of a trophy a ?100 cash prize be given the society whose members won the greatest num- ber of prizes at the horticultural exhi- bition next August. This, in addition to Ex-President Plumb's prize of one or two hundred dollars for the most successful exhibitor, should bring out some fine exhibits. On the other hand, we hear that many prominent garden- ers from distant points will not ex- hibit their finest or largest plants, be- cause medals, be they silver or gold, will not pay the heavy expenses in- curred in transporting plants from a distance. There is much to reasonably consider in this. The gardeners don't like to run the risk of responsibility in damaging their stock; if the gen- tleman orders it, it is different; but how many will? We were forgetting the club. Well, the several committees ri'ported prog- ress, that is, except the lethargic enter- tainment committee; they Bad the us- ual excuse to offer, and .that was all. Several new members wei-e elected and a committee was appointed to consider the best means of inducing old mem- bers who had left the club to rejoin it once more. It is thought best to have a good army here when the French come from Milwaukee and the Dutcti come from Huffalo in August next. The Koffman collection ot orchids at Walden, N. Y., are to be sold to liqui- date the business. J. B. Bloomingdal, 78 Fifth avenue, will give you par- ticulars. Edws.rd Jansen, the well known bas- ket manufacturer, reports splendid Eastev business. On the occasion of the Rapid Transit celebrations here he made some very pretty favors, consist- ing of small baskets, picks and shovels, which were filled with flowers, for the dinner of the Allegro Bowling Club, of v/hich he is a member. The affair was given in one of the banquet halls of the famous Liederkranz. The new set of balls won by the florists' bowling team in the recent tournament witli P'latbush and Hobo- ken are very fine. The boys are going to use them in all matches.

I. D. BOSTON. The Market. No exciting developments along the firing line during the past week. A steady pull ot funeral work has carried away everything in the cheaper lines of stock, but there has been a ten- dency to a surplus in better grades of roses and all grades of red ones. My prophecy concerning a fuller supply of carnations was but partially fulfilled, as the increase was very slight. Per- haps it is so near Easter that the growers are beginning to hold the cut back a little. Prices on Beauties have rangea rrom 4 to 35 cents each; Brunners up to about 25 cents, Jacks to lu cents, and Meteors to 8 cents; Brides and Maids from 4 to 16 cents; a few Perles at 4 and 6 cents; Gontlers at 'i and i cents. Of course, there are always a. few other kinds somewhere in the city, the price being regulated by the laws of supply and demand. Kaiserins are beginning to come. Salesmen have had a firm hold of the pink market all the week, talking 5 and 6 cents at times, but usually clos- ing sales at 3 and 4, Many buyers will go without rather than pay more, Violets became very independent at the last of the week and speculated in prices, juggling arithmetic all the way from S5 to 75 cents on the closing day. Lilies moving quite freely and prac- tically the whole crop sold for near delivery. Daffodils and poeticus quite plentiful at 2 cents now; tulips, 3 and 4. Odds and ends ot everything come into play well at fair prices. Some good ten weeks' stocks coming in. Hyacinths are being used more as a potted plant now. A little stringency in the supply of hardy ferns for cheap green. Asparagus of two kinds seems in good supply at regular rates. Smi- lax climbing into favor at $2 and |3 per dozen. Orders on everything are being tak- en for end of next week at about a 50 per cent raise on late prices. Retail stores are getting their feet placed for AI'Hll. 12. 1!HX1.

Newman, down on tlie business end of Brattle street, annexes the other half of his store permanently, his increase of trade at his new stand demand- ing it. Notes, Last week's item did not set E. N. Peirce & Sons' lily crop high enough. They set 28,000 bulbs. George W. Marshall, at Woodlawn, Everett, Mass., narrowly escaped a se- rious fire in his large store. A lamp in one of the huge incubators in the basement wag in some way tipped over, and before the flames were extin- guished several valuable plants in the store above were destroyed. PILLOW AND CROWN. The accompanying engraving is from a photograph of a pillow and crown arranged by the Shanahan Florist Co., San Francisco, Cal., tor the Phelan funeral. The flowers in the pillow are white orchids and roses, with asparagus and srailax, and the crown was made of Flora Hill carnations and adiantum ferns. PHILADELPHL\. 'Various Items. At this writing it looks very much as though the dull season of Lent had rvin its race in this city, as the store- keepers inform us that business has been rushing all week, there being a big demand for all kinds of cut flowers. The biggest run was on carnations, the demand exceeding the supply. Upon asking some of the representative storekeepers in this city as to what kind of an Easter they expected, the reply was without any deliberation: "All we ask for is good weather and we will do the rest." From present in- dications they expect to exceed all pre- vious years. A great many of the growers have all their stock sold, to be delivered Easter week. Prices: Beauties, $1 to $6 dozen; Brides, Maids. Kaiserins and Golden Gates, f.5 to $12: Morgans and Meteors, $.5 to $10; Liberty, $10 to $2.5; Gontiers, $3 to $4; Perles, $4 to $S: cattleyas. $.50; dendrobiura. $10 to $25; carna- tions, ordinary $2, fancy $3 to $5; hya- cinths, $3 to $4; valley. $3 to $4; mig- nonette. $3 to $4; tulips, $4; sweet peas, $1,50 to $2,50; daffodils, single $1 to $3, double $4; violets, single 30 to 50 cents, doubles 50 cents to $1; callas, $10 to $15; Harrisii, $10 to $12; aspara- gus, 50 cents; adiantum, $1.50 per 100: smilax, 20 to 30 cents. We had for our visitors the past week G. R. Clark & Co., Scranton, Pa.; Lloyd Blick, Norfolk, Va.; B, F, Barr. Lancaster. Pa., and Charles Fremd. Rye, N. Y. Club Notes. The Florist Club meeting on Tues- day, April 3, was not largely attended. Benj, Dorrance read a paper on "What the American Rose Society Is Doing for the Queen of Flowers," A discus- sion followed, which was mostly a repetition of that of two months ago, viz,, as to why no more than four va- rieties of roses were grown. No satis- factory explanation was reached. The growers said it was the store man's fault, and the store man said it was the fault of the grower. The Floral Exchange had a vase of blooms of their new rose Queen of Edgely on exhibition. The committee on exhibits reported it a valuable addi- tion to the list of forcing roses. R. CHICAGO. Club Meeting. At the meeting of the Florists' Club last Friday evening there was a dis- cussion on Easter plants, and the gen- eral opinion of the retailers was that there was a splendid opening for grow- ers who would devote more time and attention to the producing of high- grade Easter plants. The majority thought that, aside from white carnations, the supply of cut flowers for Easter would be ample. All expected a splendid Easter busi- ness. One new member was elected and considerable routine business transact- ed. The Market. At present there is sufficient to meet demands in all lines, except white car- nations. And there is' a tendency toward an excess in bulbous stock. Large quantities of out-door grown daffodils and joniiuils are being re- ceived from southern Illinois. For Easter the indications are there will be a good fair supply, probably enough to about meet demand. A very large number of advance orders have been placed and these will undoubtedly all be well taken care of. Only late comers may possibly be cut short on some items, and that is most likely to be white carnations. Several dealers note signs of stock being held back and it looks as though the same old mistake was going to be made by some growers, with the re- sult that flowers that could have been disposed of to good advantage if sent in when ready may have to be jobbed out to the fakirs when they do arrive. In roses there promises to be a very satisfactory supply, though probably not enough Beauties. In carnations several dealers predict a shortage, especially in white. An exception is Walter Heffron, manager for E. C, Amling. He looks for a satisfactory supply in all colors and says they will have about 00.000 carnations for Easter trade. As to lilies, it is practically all guess work. Mr, E, E. Pieser, of Kennicott Bros. Co., takes about as hopeful a view as anyone, believing that supply and demand will about equal each other. They have already booked an unusually large number of advance or- ders, but expect to take care of all or- ders, w'ith the possible exception of some white carnations. Of bulbous stuff there Is danger of a surplus. Indications are that there ■n-ill be tulips "to burn" and immense quan- tities of daffodils and hyacinths. Cal- 602 The Weekly Florists' Review, APRIL 12, 1300. las seem to be fairly plenty and these may help out the lily situation. Peter Reinberg and Wietor Bros, ex- pect a fair cut of roses and carnations and think will fill all orders fairly full, except possibly on Beauties and carna- tions. Bassett & Washburn will have a big cut of tea roses and a good deal of other stock, but are unabie to promise much as regards Beauties and white carnations. E. H. Hunt has booked a big lot of advance orders, but expects to take care of them all. McKellar & Winterson say there will be plenty of Harrisii and lots oi tulips and hyacinths, with a fair supply of other stock, though possibly a shortage in shipping grades. They have been do- ing a big business in Easter Plants, shipping many times the number sent oil I list year. The lily plants were shipped in barrels, six to a barrel, with express paper over the top, and they went through in very good shape. Various Items. Mr. P. J. Hauswirth ha.s removed to 223 Michigan avenue, where he has more room and a more conveniently arranged store. He is still in the Au- ditorium Hotel, but on the Michigan avenue side and in the part known as the Annex. The preliminary premium list of the Horticultural Society of Chicago for the annual exhibition to be held No- vember 6 to 10 next has been issued. Copies may be had by addressing W. N. Rudd, secretary, room 1002, 185 Dearborn street. Mr. and Mrs. H. B. Beatty, Pitts- biirg, spent last Saturday in the city. They were on their way home from a week's visit in New Orleans. Mr. Charles H. Fisk has sold his re- tail store at 169 Wabash avenue to Miss H. Miller, who will take posses- sion May 1. On that date Mr. Fisk will enter the employ of Mr. A. L. Randall, the wholesale florist. Mr. Fisk has long been anxious to get back to the wholesale business. The bowlers will play next Wednes- day night at Anson's the second halt of the eight games that will determine the composition of the team to meet the visitors from St. Louis. At the first session of the new city council last Monday evening there was a large display of flowers. At the funeral of a board of trade man this week one bunch of roses con- tained 150 American Beauties, and a bunch of Harrisii lilies contained 200 blooms. ST. LOUIS. Outlook for Easter Trade. Every indication points to an active Easter trade, and from the advance sales reported by the growers, large Harrisii in pots are going to be scarce, but those that are in are very fine. The cut flower stock promises to be fairly abundant, but should the orders come in as they have been, there cer- tainly will be none too much. The wholesalers report that the de- mand from the outside will be great and that the shipping trade will prob- ably be heavier than ever. The home trade has been quite heavy the last two weeks and stock has been cleaned up nearly every day. Funeral work the past week called for an enor- mous lot of stuff, which was followed on .Monday by an unusually heavy de- maud, caused by the "openings" of .■several large department stores, and prices made a small advance over the week previous. Easter prices will take effect Wednesday and the quotation.s will be found below. First-class American Beauties will be scarce and the price will range from $1 to $6 per dozen; Meteors, Maids and Brides, from $4 to $10; only the very select ones will bring the top figure; Perles and Woottons, from $4 to $6, and no doubt plenty of them will be on hand. Meteors are not as good as they have been, as they are off color, and there are a great many bullheads among them. All other roses are of good quality and fine in color. Carnations are and will be in great demand. Large quantities of them are coming in, but the demand has been so great that it seems almost impossible for the wholesalers to get enough of them. All kinds sell. Whites have had the call, with Daybreak next. Scott is also a good seller, in fact, any old kind will sell nowadays. The price asked is from $2 to $5; the latter fig- ure is for the best fancy stock. Bulb stock is quite plentiful and of fine quality. Romans and paper whites are ?2 to $3; Dutch hyacinths, ?3 to $4; valley, very fine, $2 to $4; callas, $10 and $12.50; Harrisii is scarce and will no doubt be up to $15 this week. Vio- lets are still a glut and lots of southern stock coming up, with very little sale for it; home-grown sells at 20 and 30 cents; southern stock 10 cents per 100; sweet peas, $1 to $2; smilax will be $12,50 per 100 strings, with plenty of it on hand. The plant trade at Union market the past week has been excellent and prices good. The tree planting trade has been very brisk the past week. C. C. San- ders reports that he has never been so busy as this spring with trees, shrubs and evergreens. C. Young & Son Co. report good plant and seed shipping trade, and from orders that come in this early it looks as though their business will be almost doubled this season. Will Young, who is now the outside man, reports large orders for planting out just as soon as the weather will per- mit. Henry Johan, of CoUinsville, 111,, was a visitor the past week. ,T. G. Knoll, of South St. Louis, is cutting the best Beauties that come to this market just now. John Steidel, of Central, is still cut- ting the best carnations and violets that come in. Emil Schray reports that he will be in tip-top shape with Easter plants, and that everything will be in good time. Frank Fillmore's Brides and Maids are hard to beat at the present time. Hig Easter plants are also in good shape. Frank is well fixed for a large Easter trade. The Beyer Bros, report that they also are in fine shape for Easter and that Harrisii will be the only scarce article with them this season. All other stuff is fine and plenty of it. The club meeting which will be held on the 19th should be a banner one and President Ammann would like to see every member present, so don't forget to come. The West End florists report that the indications are that the Easter trade will be better than ever, and some have plenty of orders ahead this early. They hope that stock will not be too scarce, so that they can fill all their orders in good shape. Bowling. The attendance was very slim at the bowling club Monday night. Charlie Kuehn was in fine trim, making 227 in the second game. The other members were all too busy to do much rolling until after the Easter week.

J. B. BALTIMORE. Personal and Trade Notes. The opening on Saturday, April 7, of the new building of Posner Bros., one of our large department store firms, made quite an event in local florist circles. The structure, which is im- posing and substantial, is especially adapted to producing good effects in the hands of the apt decorator, and to say that Samuel Feast & Sons were en- trusted with its embellishment is equivalent to declaring that the work was done with skill and taste. The massing of palms, foliage and flower- ing plants was effective, and the fes- tooning of stairways and arches with southern smilax and other green stuff gave a thoroughly holiday appearance to the edifice. The occasion was availed of by friends of the firm to send many floral creations. In fact, it may be said that nearly every store in town had orders. The horseshoe of hoped-for good luck was largely in predomi- nance, but many wreaths and baskets — and one floral terrapin— were sent in, of varying degrees of beauty and finish, some, alas! succumbing to the drying atmosphere and wilting by noon, at which hour they were under inspection by your correspondent. Business for the week up to this writing (April 9) has been unusually active, and prices well maintained. APRIL 12, 1900. The Weekly Florists' Review. 603 roses and carnations at no tini.' Iniiig in excess of tlie demand; in lait, car- nation.s have been generally short of supply. Andrew Andersen, of Govanstown, is about erecting two houses, each 100 feet long. One for .\nierican Hcaiity roses and the other for sniila.v, l)()th of which he will hereafter make hi.s spe- cialties. William Madsen is cutting Vieauties of fine (lower, foliage and .stem.s, fully maintaining the reputation 1«<; has so long bad for successful production of this splendid variety. No place we are acquainted with has been so much improved within the past year as Frederick C. Bauer's, near Govanstown, formerly the Hantske place. The greenhouses have been renovated, a water system established, with elevated tank and hot-air pump- ing engine, a dwelling erected and the grounds graded and put in order. Mr. Bauer is full of energy and has varied experience, having been long in the business, his last position being as foreman for Isaac H. Moss. His spe- cialties are carnations, callas and vio- lets, all of which are well done. Ho is a practical minded cultivator, who has a capacity for tliinking out every prob- lem of his business and for achieving results. Mr. Moss' place has been a nursery for bright young gardeners. One of his department foremen, Thomas Steven- son, sends in the finest violets which come to the city and is regarded as a wide-awake and progressive all-around cultivator. William Price, another of his young men, recently left him to take charge of the plant houses of Mrs. T. Harrison Garrett, and under his attentive care their contents are said to be making a very creditable showing. The young plants of the Liberty rose which are being received by purchas- ers in this vicinity are much larger and more vigorous of growth than is usual with new introductions. We hear of one thrifty florist who bought one hundred plants, potted them up and got enough cuttings to increase his stock to the present time to two hundred and fifty. RIX. DENVER, COLO. Various Items. The Gallup Floral Co., now one of the oldest establishments of its kind in Denver, have a most attractive store, connected with a convenient conserva- tory, on the corner of Fifteenth street and Cleveland place. The business is conducted by some of the best men in the trade, viz.: Messrs. Lewis, Gallup, Schultz and Emerich, and although they have to depend largely on other growers for their cut flowers, the windows are al- ways in fine trim. A large amount of flower and vege- table seed is neatly arranged in the center of the store in pyramid shape, inviting the customers to purchase. One of the wings of the conservatory is .stocked with palms, ferns and Selagi- nella ICiuiliana. Among the ferns are some nice nuiidenhalr, i)teris and cyr- tomiuni, als-o polypodiuni argenteum, which is not generally grown; also a hardy fern with heart - shaped cut leaves, seldom seen here. In the other wing of the conserva- tory we find Primula.'^, obconica and chinensis, both in good shape; carna- tions, genista, spirea, callas, Hegonia sempertlorens rosea, and a lot of young maidenhair ferns and seedlings. The conglomeration of the latter, however, hamper the arrangement very much. Mr. Lewis is always the same genial fellow-tradesman. Mr. Charles Thiess, who has moved further up on Sixteenth street, into the store formerly occupied by the Colfax Avenue Floral Co., has an abundance of flowers in his window. Charlie is among the best of decorators and is very tasty in arranging floral pieces. Calla lilies in the window of Glauber & Webb attract attention on account of their size. Mr. Mehler, the grower, takes the palm. One specimen with stem 11/4 inches thick by 6 feet long and flower 6x9 inches, is a "daisy" and worth mentioning. There is still some controversy in regard to the Bermuda lily disease and that it can be overcome, partly, by growing them in a certain way and with proper soil and care. There are many ways of growing lilies, but the writer has always preferred, in this climate, to start them inside instead of keeping them in frames, and the use of bone meal instead of manure as fer- tilizer. The cause of failure may often be traced to the ripening, curing, im- proper packing and handling by the middlemen, which the florists cannot well overcome. They are not improved l)y allowing them to get dry, either in transit or in the pots. Colonel Colburn, who for more than ten years has been bookkeeper for the Curtis Park Floral Co., and was well known to all who had dealings with that Arm, died recently. The inter- ment was at Fairmount cemetery April 1, and was conducted by the G. A. R. F. A. HAENSELMAN. The following scores were rolled by Denver bowlers Tuesday, April 3: 12 3 Av. J.

And this Tues- day morning it is the most weighty thing on a Buffalo florist's mind; about the freezing point, and the old woman is picking her geese, for the feathers or flakes are falling fast and thick. Horrors! Can it last? No, impossible! Always remember that the weather was not made for us; we are creatures of the weather, and no one is dishing us out a particularly bad sample; it's just Buffalo weather. From the present outlook there will be two important articles In very short supply, viz., lilies and carnations. With carnations it is not unxisual; simply the cut is gone. We are between crops. Lilies, although we have had a fair supply of sun, have had not a single warm day in two months to help them along, and disease has terribly thinned their ranks. In all other plants there will be a bountiful supply, except per- haps of Dutch hyacinths. George Fan- court has sent in to Kasting his usual contribution of hydrangeas, a fine lot, well grown and well colored. The retailers on Main street are al- ready making a fine show. W. A. Ad- ams says: "If I can get them I will sell more lilies than 1 ever did," and you know he has the concentrated es- sence of ginger so permeating his whole system that what he says goes. S. A. Anderson has a splendid window and is buying all the attractive plants he can get. Over on the East Side, the great Teu- tonic settlement, the popular lady flor- ists are all laying in big stocks of plants. Miss Nussbaum, Miss Rose Rinehart and Miss Kloko can now sell hundreds of nice plants where ten years ago a hyacinth or geranium was the limit. Mr. Buddenborg. with his two stoi-es to catch two nationalities, reports business good and expects to handle many medium-sized plants. The feature of last week's and this week's business has been store open- ings. Many of the leading stores made elaborate displays of palms and flower- ing plants, one millinery store giving a rose or a few carnations to every caller, and so they used up in one day over a hundred dollars' worth of flow- ers. All good for business, even if they were purchased a little cheap; somebody got something for growing them. I want to acknowledge the receipt yesterday morning (Monday) of a box of flowers from Mr. Valentine, of the Park Floral Co., Denver. Now, these flowers, which were Bridesmaid and Bride roses, Flora Hill carnations and mignonette, must have been in the ex- press car forty-eight hours, and I be- lieve laid twenty - four hours in our local express office, opened up in bet- ter condition than I have seen many flowers arrive after a hundred mile journey. They were simply perfect, fresh and handsome. This is, of course, the most favorable time for transport- ing flowers, but without that their beauty and condition speaks greatly for their growth and simple but perfect packing. As we have a deep interest in anything that is under the care of the Buffalo boys, Phil and Mike, in that distant silvery bright city, we were more than gratified about the ex- 604 The Weekly Florists^ Review^ APRIL 12, 1900. cellent quality of the flowers. I will communicate privately, but will say that when I heard they were coming I expected to see "only a faded flower" that would have the appearance of be- ing bowled at and shot at, for they seem to do a good deal of that after you leave Elmer Smith's virtuous state. W. S. NEW GERANIUM CLYDE. We have received from Mr. W. B. Hall, Clyde, 0., a blooming plant and several trusses of bloom of this splen- did new single scarlet geranium. The plant is evidently of unusual vigor of growth and the blooms are most cer- tainly entitled to the title "Mammoth," for the individual flowers average over 2\<> inches in diameter and the trusses are remarkably large and full. The color is very pleasing and the variety will certainly prove a very de- sirable addition to our list of gera- ' niums. Such plants as that sent us would surely sell quickly to the flower- buying public. Mr. Hall is to h^ con- gratulated on having produced so promising a new geranium. MEXICO'S FLOWER SHOW. For many years the Coyoacan Exhi- bition Association under the auspices of the Mexican Federal Government has held yearly and half yearly exhibi- tions of flowers, birds, poultry and or- namental fishes. The government now desires to make these expositions in- ternational in their character, so that the floriculturists of the United States can take part, and in order to facilitate this participation the government is disposed to defray the expenses of transportation of the American exhib- its from the frontier to Coyoacan and back. According to the program of the di- rectors an invitation is tendered to all persons engaged in the cultivation of flowers, whether amateurs, floricultur- ists or dealers in flowers. The exposi- tion will be opened on April 26 and closed May 6, 19O0. There will be ad- mitted to competition: 1. Ornamental plants and trees. 2. Collections of medicinal plants. 3. Cut flowers, bouquets and flower de- corations. 4. Decorations of dry flowers and leaves. 5. Plans tor garden and parks. C. Green house installation plants. 7. Artincial grottos and cascades. 8. Physical meteorological instruments applied to floriculture. 9. Implements and instruments for gen- eral gardening. 10. Natural and artifical fertilizers. 11. Plans for zoological and botanical gardens. 12. Live birds, fishes and poultry of all kinds placed respectively In their cages or aquarium. The application for space must be addressed to the secretary of the ad- visory committee, Espiritu Santo street 7, City of Mexico, and will be granted gratis. The premiums will he awarded by a jury appointed by the Department of State for promotion of the Mexican Government, and will consist of med- als, diplomas and money for the flori- culturist. Coyoacan is a beautiful suburban town on the south side of the City of Mexico, with which it is connected by street car lines and a railroad; the transportation to and from is comfort- able and rapid.

We learn from Le Jardin that, not- withstanding the reports that have been current, the date of the opening of the Paris Exhibition has been fixed, and that the doors will be open on April 1.5. Our contemporary states that the work of completing the gar- dens is being pushed on with great ac- tivity, and their completion it is be- lieved will he effected by the date of opening. The gardens in the Champs- Elysees are being rapidly planted with the trees and shrubs that will form part of the permanent horticultural ex- hibition. The French gardens on the Esplanades des Invalides are nearly completed, and the collections of roses contributed by the French nurserymen have been planted. Near the Troca- dero the gardens are devoted chiefly to contributions from the French colo- nies.— Gardeners' Magazine.

The residents of Oak Park, one of Chicago's suburbs, are organizing the "Oak Park Beautifying Association." Each unit of the general association will be, not an individual but a club of the residents in one block. The block organization will assume respon- sibility for the appearance of its block. While the town is not to be painted in one color, members of the organiza- tion say the houses in each block will be painted with an idea to harmony and artistic effect. There will be some regulations about fences. The man who has dandelions in his lawn will be brought to account promptly if he does not make proper efflort to keep them from spreading upon his neighbor's lawn. Individuality in the decoration of lawns and residences will not be dis- couraged but rather encouraged by the competition. The idea is to make the whole residence district more at- tractive. This will, of course, result in a lar- ger use of flowering plants, shrubs and trees, and thus enlarge the florists' op- portunities. And anything tending in that direction should be encouraged by the trade. In every community there are a few good citizens who are lovers ot the beautiful and public spirited as well. A word of suggestion dropped in the ears of such by the florist would result in the formation of many such asso- ciations throughout the country and do much to beautify the residence streets as well as incidentally create a larger demand for the products of the green- house and nursery.

Many orders for Easter decorations are on file, which will keep our florists hustling. Stevenson has the Emporium decoration and will be the largest done in San Francisco. The weather has cooled off a little and with April showers the Princess of Wales and California violets have peeped into market, but their time will be short. Prices: American Beauties, $1.50 to $2; Brides and Maids, 2-5 to To cents; Siebrechts, 50 to 75 cents; Meteors, 35. 50, 75 cents; Perles, 25 to 35 cents per dozen; Cecil Brunners, 4 dozen for 25 cents. Carnations, Hoban $1, Crocker 5iJ cents, Schwerin 40 cents, Bradts 35 cents. Hill 25 to 35 cents, Scott 20 to 25 cents, Portia 10 to 20 cents. Harrisii, $2 to 12.50; tulips, 35 to 50 cents; Span- ish iris. 35 cents; violets. Princess of Wales $1.25, California $1, Giants $1; smilax. $1 per dozen. Mr. B. Gill has moved to Fourteenth and Clay streets, Oakland. The stand is not so good as the old one, but was the best that could be had at present. Lacazette & Peterson have dissolved partnership after two months of busi- ness. Mr. Lacazzette will carry on the bu.^iness alone. Shannahan, on Powell street, had all he could do in funeral work this week. Mr. Nunemacher. our Thirteenth street florist, has just returned from a gunning party, and says he had a fine time. Mr. N. boasts that he can hit a bottle at forty yards without a miss. That's nothing; we have several mem- bers of the craft that can hit a bottle at closer range than that, but it hap- pens the marksman goes to pieces, not the bottle. J. N. THE QUEEN OF EDGELY. .•\t the last meeting of the Florists' dub of Philadelphia, some blooms of the new rose, Qiieen of Edgely, the pink sport from American Beauty, were exhibited, and a committee com- posed of Robert Kift, Wm. Munro and •Joseph Heacock. made the following report: "We are convinced that this variety is a valuable addition to the list of forcing roses, being in every respect except color the exact counterpart of the American Beauty. The color is a beautiful bright pink, which is good even in the full flowers. The fragrance is also as fine as Beauty, and the ex- hibited blooms showed remarkable vigor."

A very well attended meeting of the Mo'imouth County Horticultural So- ciety was held in Redmen's Hall, Oceanic, N. J., President Hettel iu the chair. Fred Nielsen was nominated and Mrs. V. A. Segier elected for member- ship. Dr. W. S. Wittmore, De Witt Will- iams and N. Butterback were appoint- ed to have the society incorporated at once. The treasurer was instructed to take some stock in the St.-ite Mutual Build- ing and Loan Association. Dr. Wittmore delivered one of his great speeches, and here it can be said that this society is very fortunate to have as meinliers such men as Dr. Wittmore, Rev. Dr. Kneipe, Professor Walling. De Witt Williams, and many others. There is never any lack of en- tertaining and instructive matters. The president read a paper on adiantum culture, which was very instructive and listened to wim great interest. Premium schedules for the grand horticultural exhibition of the S. A. F. convention were distributed to the members. B. WASHINGTON. The boys all around are busy mov- ing blooming plants around and trying to make, ends meet. Lilies seem plen- tiful, and from all indications bulbous stock will be a glut. Several of our largest growers will almost entirely quit growing Dutch bulbs. Roses as well as blooming plants will be plenti- ful. A. Gude & Bro. are cutting some ex- tra tine Beauties, the finest ever grown in this section, the stems averaging from 4 to 6 feet. The average quotations for Easter will be: Teas, 12% to 15 cents; carna- tions, 3 to 4 cents: Beauties, 50 cents to $1; Easter and calla lilies, 12% cents, cut or in pots: tulips, 2 to 3 cents; jonquils, single 50 cents per 100, doubles 3 cents; mignonette, 3 to 4 cents; smilax, 20 cents.

Trade has been very good this win- ter, with a noticeable incroase in the demand for both cut llowers and blooming plants. Harrisii lili(>s will not be plentiful for Easter. S. F. Stephens has a fine house of carnations about right for Kaster. He is also cutting some lirst-clas.s roses and has an increased supply of l);'dding plants for cemetery trade. E. L. Charles reports an excellent demand, especially for funeral work. He recently donated a large casket bouquet for each of the six persons killed in the gasoline explosion. Underwood Bros, have a fine range of greenhou.ses and their carnations are looking exceedingly well. Some damage suits may grow out of the ejectment proceedings brought against Miss Hester Getz, the florist. She had appealed to the common pleas court, but there being some imperfec- tion in the appeal bond, the writ was served and she was forcibly ejected, being somewhat roughly handled. Later the appeal bond was perfected and she was reinstated. A good deal of bad feeling has been developed and the end is not yet. G. WAS. KINGTON, D. C. At the funeral ceremonies over the remains of the late H. P. Godwin three of the finest floral designs ever seen in Washington were furnished by the American Rose Company. They com- prised a massive crescent wreath six feet in diameter of bronze galax leaves with magnificent specimen Golden Gate roses and Easter lilies and a clus- ter of cycas leaves, and the same rose festooned with loopings of lace and taffeta ribbon in lilac and white; an anchor of galax and violets six feet high (both of these designs were mounted on easels), and a double clus- ter of the celebrated Madame Chatenay rose (the most exquisite shade of cop- pery pink) containing about 300 blos- soms and tied with open work ribbon of the same shade.

APRIL 12, 1900. The Weekly Florists^ Review. 623 THE FLORISTS' MANUAL. After reading Mr. Wm. Scott's Manual, we wish to say that we con- sider It without equal as a book of reference for busy florists. GEO. M. KELLOGG. Pleasant Hill, Mo. Mr. Scott's superb work, "The Florists' Manual," was indeed worth waiting for. When compared with the amount of practical information it con- tains, the selling price, $5.00, seems a mere bagatelle. Oakland, Md. H. WEBER & SONS. It Is the best book of the kind ever published. There is more in it than in any other book I have ever seen. I am delighted with it. Chicago. JOHN THORPE. The copy of the "Florists' Manual" was duly received. I am very well pleased with same. The more I read it the better satisfied I am with it, and there are one or two articles alone in it that are each worth all you ask for the book, for everything is made so plain and all details are right to the point. I trust you may have a good and ready sale for the same. M. S. WORDEN. North Adams, Mass. The only fault to be found with it Is when you get reading it the mid- night oil is liable to run low and you have to go on to gas or reluctantly break off, either going to bed or first taking a look over the houses to see if the temperature tallies with the Manual. GEO. S. OSBORN. Hartford, Conn. We are in receipt of "The Florists' Manual" by Mr. Scott and may say it is the right book for the fiorist, pub- lished at the right time. It is what we all need. BOBBINK & ATKINS. Rutherford, N. J. " Am much pleased with the Manual. It is just what I have been looking for. Something that we can under- stand, and enjoy reading. M. NAUMAN. Etna, Pa. I am very much pleased with the Manual. It is just what we have need- ed for a long time. N. ZWEIFEL. Milwaukee, Wis. It la certainly a neat and handsome book and does you credit. BENJAMIN HAMMOND. Flshkill-on-Hudson, N. Y. It is a work of art and should be In the hands of all live florists. Its use- ful and instructive contents can not fail to be a beneflt to all in the trade. C. C. POLLWORTH Co. Milwaukee, Wis. The book is written for the work- ing gardener, and Mr. Scott's reputa- tion is so well secured that he will find among his gardening friends a host of genuine admirers. As a writer on practical gardening subjects, he is a recognized authority. ♦ • • Mr. Scott has long been an employer and knows what information young gar- deners, or those with little experience, need, and he has his whole subject so perfectly at command that he can give the most desirable and essential information in the clearest language and with satisfactory brevity. The book is a distinct and Important gain to the practical garden literature of this country, and it should be in the hands of every gardener, and everyone else engaged or interested in orna- mental horticulture. The price of the book is $5, which seems somewhat high, but for useful information it is worth every cent of it. — Vick's Maga- zine. Am well pleased with the Manual. It is a practical, everyday helper, con- cise and to the point. W. A. KENNEDY. Milwaukee, Wis. Am very much pleased with the book; it is very handy for reference. Macomb, 111. F. B. BONHAM. Detroit, Mich., January 6, 1900.— Mr. Wm. Scott, Buffalo, N. Y. Dear Sir: The Commissioners of Parks and Bou- levards some time since directed that a library be started of such books as deal with subjects pertaining to park work, and to that end, an order has been given for a number of books, among which Is your "The Florists' Manual." After reading this book carefully, I am greatly pleased, and wish to con- gratulate you on the practical manner with which you have treated the sub- ject. This book is placed where it will be accessible to all of our greenhouse em- ployes, where this board expects to reap a reward many times the cost of the book. Respectfully yours, COMMISSIONERS OF PARKS AND BOULEVARDS, R. J. CORYELL, Gen'l Sup't. I am more than pleased with The Florists' Manual. OTT BROWN. Cape May City, N. J. Manual to hand. Am well satisfied that It is the best work of its kind ever published. JAS. HARTSHORNE. Joliet, 111. I am greatly pleased with the Man- ual. C. J. REARDON. Lake Geneva, Wis. Unlike so many of our books, it has the very flavor and essence of ac- tual experience. L. H. BAILEY. Ithaca, N. Y. We find the book very useful as a reference in answering the many ques- tions about plants that we receive al- most every day. Philadelphia. JOS. KIFT & SON. Enclosed find $5.00 in payment for the copy of the Florists' Manual. No progressive florist, old or young, can afford to be without the Florists' Man- nual. The old florist needs it, for ref- erence, to aid a defective memory, and the young florist wants it as a guide in this progressive era of the florist's business. J. T. TEMPLE. Davenport. la.

The Weekly Florists' Review. 627 Wedding Bouquets. Many florists will, (luring the next two months, he puzzled with the ques- tion. "What is the latest, or what would you recommend for a bride's bouquet?" And you know there is not a little dread in the preparing thoughts for your answer. No one likes the idea of losing an order, and tew care to give information which may be used to your disadvantage by another. This is where the value of our Review comes in. for here we can talk to the crowd, and mind you we don't care how we talk, because we have no "boss" to consider. We have many, many times com- plained about; the weight of bouquets, and we refer to it here again, because ■we consider it of vital importance. You can make them up as fine as you can, use the most beautiful flowers, have them as large as you like, and get the biggest possible price for thom, and still fail to please. Many of you know how your hand gets tired holding a bouquet whilst you are tying it up; few of you stop to think of the, in many cases, delicate girl who must carry it. through the greatest ordeal of her life, and if you will go to the church yon will see that she carries it upside down, because she is not strong enough to hold it face up. Of course, the bride rarely has any- thing to do with the ordering of her bouquet. If she had, they would be different. You deal with the bride- groom, and he, poor fellow, is willing to be overcharged and order some enormous bundle, rather than have it appear mean and small in anyone's eye at that special time. More often than not the bouquets are made by a different florist to the one having the decorations. They are often the cause of much jealousy and chagrin; but it must be admitted that they are gen- erally ordered in a store for the sake of its reputation. We have seen the very worst bouquets— libels on floral art — come from the finest stores, and, to be fair, we would rather consider a poor florist's endeavor than a rich one's tag. In "making up" it is necessary to use wire, but it should be used consid- erately; packing greens should be short, light and strong, and one wire doubled is quite suflicient; that wire can be any number from 21 to 2:J; the same wire will do for most flowers. It is barbarous to run a strong wire through the bulb of any straight rose; strip the foliage off and then wire it on again like a collar to the flower; that method belongs to the past with its short stemmed vose.i. We leave the straight blooms and foliage natural, cut them off the desired lengths, put one jvire on the bottom to lessen the si7c of the handle only. For the finish line or two it may be necessary to wire the head of the rose in order to conform them to the proper shape, and in do- ing this don't run the wire through the bulb and double it back again, thus making the stem appear more wire than aught else; just stick your wire straight up the bulb or calyx and twist it straight down, leaving the foliage natural. In most bouquets it is necessary to use considerable packing to hold the flowers in place, though not quite as much is is generally used. Where one kind of flowers is adopted, care should be taken to hide greens which may de- tract from the flower; in fact, it is best to use the foliage belonging to the flower, and if that is not practicahle, then only such as will enhance, iri the case of roses, we always use sh.orter stemmed roses for the packing. In such a bouquet you must look all around it and through to see all its value. In most of the bouquets we see. every rose seems to say to the other. "I'm as good as you." They are ar- ranged all the one height, smilax or asparagus is seen in bunches between them, and the whole has that Drum- head-cabbagy look about it that speaks of the mechanic rather than the artist. A light, dainty, loosely made bou- quet can be a credit to you and a source of much pleasure to the reci- pient. It is not necessary to have either your bunch or its handle too long; no one has a fist a foot wide, and very few care to carry even a bunch of flowers which will hide everything. In the case of lily of the valley, we pre- fer its own foliage for packing greens, but only in moderation, four or five lli)\M-i- Spikes to two leaves, and they should be very low and the flowers at irregular heights. The finish is every- thing to most anything, and a fringe of line fern will add much to most flowers. The handle should be very thin; put tinfoil on, then twist ribbon round it; a common pin stuck through will hold it in place. Tie the bow either well up under the bouquet, or in a loop bow at the bottom of the handle; in the latter case the same pieie of ribbon must be used to en- twine the handle with, commencing from the toj) and securing at bottom with a band of No. 1 ribbon. Now, as to materials, almost any- thing can be had in spring and early summer, and though white is the most popular color, still it is not unusual for the American girl to break away from the conventional and have her own ideas rule. In this way we have recently made up brides' bouquets of colored flowers, and we would like to see the custom become popular, be- cause white is too much of a dead color, especially for joyous festivities. With regard to ribbons, the very finest quality only should be used for this occasion, and in many cases lace scarfs are best. You must consider the fact that a girl's wedding dress is usually the effort of her life; most of them would make it of diamonds if they could; indeed, there is usually so much thought and preparation given to them that the effect of beauty is most often spoiled; yet the fact will remain that the material is either the richest the girl can afford or the mother will give. Now consider all this when ribboning your bouquet; don't use cheap stuff if the price will allow you to do other- wise, and you needn't put a bolt of rib- bon on it. either. Remember when you get a good big price for a bride's bouquet (and you can invariably get it), it does not re- quire you to make it as big as a house. Put your value in quality and the "make up." You can put quantity in it, too, and even make it smaller and lighter. We have dwelt on this so long because we know the women of today are observant; and if the florists don't use more tact and judgment in this regard, it may become the style to dispense with wedding flowers alto- gether; it is even so now with many of the rich, though unpleasant or metal- lic kind of people. Be careful regarding the delivery of this kind of work. A first-class house should have special bouquet boxes made so the bouquets can be put in a socket and stand up, instead of being knocked out of shape by being put sideways. Everything should be clean, and an intelligent man sent with them, for many girls don't know the right way to carry the bouquets, and the question is often referred to the fior- ist. The ribbon bows should always be in front, the bride should carry hers in the left hand, the bridesmaids' left and right hands. We will merely give you a few hints 628 The Weekly Florists' Review, APRIL 19, I'M. on what is obtainable now, allowing yourself to elaborate on them. Orange blossoms are popular on account of the traditions surrounding them, yet most brides ask for them, not knowing their meaning. These blossoms are to be had now, are suitable for head spray, small round bouquet, spray bunch, or cluster with other flowers. Golden Gate roses are appropriate for California brides, but on account of their stiff, leafless stem are only suitable for the round hand bouquet. Trim with light Farley- ense fern. Bride roses, with the pink tinge usually seen on them at this time of the year, are very good for cheap round bouquets; Kaiserins are sweeter, though, and we prefer them; they make a more graceful effect. Roses, remember, are only suitable for the round trimmed bouquet; when car- ried by the bride the leaves and thorns are apt to damage the dress if used in a loose bunch or spray. Valley with cluster of white orchids, stephanotis. orange blossoms, one or two fine roses, or a fringe of jessamine. White sweet peas make up very prettily if cut long and arranged grace- fully. They should never appear sod- den. Use very pale pink or yellow for bridesmaids. Swainsona does well for cheap bunches. Some will insist on having Marguerites and they can be made to look extremely fine: use the large California variety; fringe with cuneatum or Asparagus tenuissimus. White heather is good and appro- priate for Scotch, and nothing will please an Irish girl better than lily of the valley trimmed with siiararocks. White pansies or white violets can be made to look elegant, but it is nec- essary to put these flowers on wires singly, that is, stick a No. 36 wire into the back of the flower and twist 'round the stem; this will prevent the flower from hanging its head and will also allow you to make up irregular, which is necessary to show off the full beauty of small flowers. No matter what flower the bride car- ries, the groom's boutonniere should be made of the same. In the case of Easter Window Dicoration of Mr. C. A Samuelson, Chicigo. The clustered bouquet is almost un- limited in variety. Bouquets of mag- nolias or gardenias, especially for southern belles. White orchids will, of course, always lead in price, though they may not always be the most beau- tiful. Some very fine white or very pale mauvish cattleyas can be got, but in the case of orchids, variety is al- ways best; a few sprays of Odonto- glossum crispum, phalaenopsis, and a fringe of Coelogyne cristata mixed 'mong the cattleyas will show up to fine advantage. In all cases the best and lightest tinted fern should be used; we prefer Farleyense or gracil- limum. No common greens should be discernible with these rich flowers. bridesmaids, you are generally ordered to match the color of the dress; very often the dress color itself is selected to match some favorite flower; in such cases be very careful of the color of your ribbon; always selea.v their transportation to the Klon- dike next month. Samuel Murray monopolized the market on hydrangeas, which were perfect plants; in fact, it may be said the finest ever seen in Kansas City. The great rush is over and everyone seems pleased with the voUime of Ijus- iness done. Now let's get down to the regular routine. ORPH.\N. NEW YORK. It should lie always a pleasure to write of prosperity, and yet our busi- ness and the people in it are so para- doxical, either from habit or experi- ence, that they are always ready to deny or dispute anything, especially re- ports in the trade papers. There may be many ways to look at the business done this Easter, but those best able to judge must admit that it was a rec- ord breaker tor quantity of plants and flowers sold. The weather was a friend to the florist. Saturday was fair, but Sun- day was a gloriously beautiful day. Never in the history of New York was there such an Easter parade on Fifth avenue. The sight could not be dupli- cated in any European city. More gaudy costumes might be shown in gay Paris, the military swagger of Rotten Row was not there, but the New York girl and her beau care not for these, and need none. The Cherry Hill and the Murray Hill belles walked side by side, the rich and the poor — yes, the girl able to buy any part of royalty in Europe could here be seen to smile and move aside to let her own servant pass in all the splendor of a new Easter gown. But — and here we must speak of that which concerns business — never were there so many flowers seen. The quantity of violets worn even on Fifth avenue Easter Sunday was a revela- tion. It would seem as if there were over a million violets in New Y'ork city that day; though they were the most popular flower for street wear, there was an abundance of roses, car- nations, valley, and other flowers proudly worn by swain and damsel. The violets were tinfoiled, ribboned and tasseled — whew! the colors of those "violet" ribbons, 'twas awful on sensitive nerves — a humiliation to the poor flowers, for we saw many — aye, very many — of them hang their wear- ied heads as if in shame. It may not be right to be comparing one annual festival after another with its predecessors of the past, for many reasons, and here are some: The world moves and people cannot stay be- hind, floriculture is not controlled by either trusts or patents — it never can be. The recent national rose show forcibly demonstrated the fact that posies are grown in quantities in al- most every village and town in the United States. There is an oversup- I)ly— not too many flowers for the number of pi ople. but too many flow- ers to demand liigh prices for. Take violets, for instance. They .seemed to have been stored up for a consider- able time; the only thing about most of them was the color; others were vilely repugnant, though some we saw were a credit to the country; they were well packed and were sweet. When you stop to think of the quan- tity on the market, tliough, and that it is necessary to dispose of them quickly at the best price you can get, you will be forced to admit that a vast amount of credit, I mean praise, is due those who succeed in selling out at a fair price. What are fair prices will always be disputable and the question must al- ways be settled by the public. Thou- sands of violets were sold by the ped- dlers and Greeks on the New Y^ork streets on Sunday for 25 cents a bunch of 50. What they paid tor them and what the grower may get we know not; on the other hand, first-class storekeepers paid from 75 cents to $1 for choice stock, and they were sold to the people at double or more than double that price. As regards roses, enormous quanti- ties were shipped in. Small roses were not even in the "number" or "Guin- ness' triple extra" class. Numberless boxes of Brides and Maids had that bruised and sodden look about them that forbade purchase at any price, but Jacqueminots, Brunners and other hybrids were fine. There was no scar- city in any line of soft or bulbous stock, and as for lilies — well. New York was staggered. They came by the thousands from all sides and in all shapes. Many a grower who held out for big prices before Easter will have to be content with half what he asked. The people of New York will not pay as much for buds in embryo as they will for open blooms, and it's pure madness to imagine you can com- pel them to. Now, to sum up the cut flower busi- ness: We have every reason to be- lieve that it was good, very good, con- sidering that every energy was devot- ed to pushing plants. The prices may not be as high as those of other years; we fear they never will be again, for the indications are that more plants will be grown and there is more money in them for the retailer, so if any fair price can be got for poor or medium cut flowers under these circumstances, it's useless to audibly comment on them. In the matter of flowering plants, such displays were never seen before anywhere. Every store was packed, much of the plants were fine and the growers got good prices, very high prices, in fact, for anything that was half way decent. The quantity sold was marvelous. The tidal waves of prosperity surging in this country at present seemed to have pushed the general public into the florists' stores, and the ebb tide took away the best from all, leaving but the w-reckage be- hind. Quite a few of the florists have many plants left, and there are rea- sons for it. They were either too high priced, or their stores are located in places from which the best trade has moved, or to which it has yet to come. The azaleas were countless and the few that are left will be all right for another year. Many were glutted with lilies — green lilies, not white ones — and you know the man w'ho will ship such stock in, and is sure the gulli- bility of the people is a blinding or imbecilic and epidemical disease, sure- ly needs something himself. If the lilies sent into this city were of good quality and were put up right, few, very few, would be left unsold. In addition to their being green, they were too paltry in appearance. The New Y'orker is not stingy, and hates to appear so. You couldn't ask him to send a pot of one lily with one flow- er and three buds to a lady— such a thing would be ridiculously childish; but have a dozen or more flowers in a pot and it's all right; if the grow- ers or retailers hadn't sense enough after all their experiences to do this, they deserve to have them left on their hands. Whatever the effect in isolated quarters, the general sum- ming up must be that it was a glori- ous Easter in every way, and it's good to be satisfled. Oh! we forgot— just another word. The men you got your Harrisii bulbs from in Bermuda sent five thousand boxes of cut lilies from that island to New York on Saturday, April 7. An- other cargo was expected on April 14. We suppose they were merely sent to help cover the demand for Har- risiis; you know you bought so many from them and they did so well. How- ever, these Bermuda cut lilies were offered for sale in several large dry goods houses throughout the country. One would like to know if they can be grown there and shipped here for almost nothing what's the use of bothering with growing them In glass palaces here? But let's get to the allers. There were only a few of the boys there, and the scores were: Tl-^i/ndly 127 ^„ j-^ "*f"^'',; 152 158 172 M»''':''all 191 150 181- ^°°''y 145 m le;. t;^"f 207 179 157 Donlan ; 7;- J. I.D.

From the growers' stand- point everything sold well.

In pot plants, azaleas as usual tool^ the lead, and there were but few left over. The $2. ?3 and $5 sizes sold well. In Rambler roses the medium sizes sold best. Genistas sold well. Hy- drangeas, hyacinths, tulips, daffodils, valley and spireas sold fairly well. Decorations exceeded last year by far, and in consequence cut flowers were very high.

R. GRAND RAPIDS, MICH. The outlook was very dismal for a good Easter. Wednesday it commenced to snow and snowed again on Thurs- day, and it seemed on Friday, with still two inches of the beautiful on the ground, that it was certain to be a cold, wintry Easter, but when Satur- day opened up bright and warm busi- ness assumed a different aspect. The people commenced buying early, de- liveries got congested and special de- livery wagons had to be resorted to in order to clear up the sales for the day. It was past midnight before Saturday's sales were out of the way. The busi- ness of the week was good, with Satur- day the record breaker; all expected a heavy trade, but not an avalanche. Lilies, of course, sold best, and were completely cleaned out to the last plant. Roses in pots and Crimson Ramblers sold well; the trouble was, not enough of them. Spiraea flori- bunda. fine plants they were, did not seem to take well, though they made a nice display. Hyacinths, single, in pots, sold readily at 15 to 20 cents each; in pans at 35 cents to $1.50, the larger pans going slowly, being too expensive. A few rhododendrons were sold, but are too high priced to become popular here. Azaleas, however, still maintain their popularity, a great many being sold. As for cinerarias, a few people still like them, but they are about out of favor. A few violets in pans sold well, but tulips sold poorly; nobody really seemed to care for them, and the only way to get rid of them was to use them in mixed boxes of flowers. Narcissus sold well at 75 cents per dozen. There were plenty of plants to sup- ply the demand, there being some ex- ceptionally fine hydrangeas in 6-inch pots, with from 4 to 6 blooms each. which took well. Lilies were the only plant in short supply, and many more could have been sold. Cut flowers were equal to the demand, except car- nations, which sold at 50 to 75 cents per dozen, and some poor stocK was eagerly taken at the 50-cent rate. Crabb & Hunter rented a room down town and ran a special sale of plants and their sales were phenomenal. Plants were pretty generally cleaned up close; no one has a kick coming and all agree that it was the heaviest Easter trade ever experienced. G. F. CRABB. YOUNGSTOWN, OHIO. There are many things to interest the casual observer while taking a stroll through Mr. E. Hippard's green- houses. The plant itself, consisting of twenty-two modern, well equipped houses and comprising 60,000 feet of glass, is well worth seeing. There is nothing lacking and everything about the place seems to work with clock- like regularity. Nevertheless, it is Mr. Hippard's intention to make some extensive additions and improvements during the summer or early fall. Then there are his roses! Although as a rose grower Mr. Hippard is pre- eminently successful and has estab- lished a reputation second to none, his success this season seems to have sur- passed all his previous efforts. His Brides. Maids. Perles and Meteors are of the kind that would sell (as they in- variably do) at sight in any market. His carnations, likewise, do remarka- bly well and while growing the b;st standards as well as the "latest," he has about ten seedlings of his own, some of which are decidedly promis- ing. One. especially, seems destined to make its mark. It is of a pleasing salmon color, borne on a long, stiff stem, a splendidly formed flower and a great favorite with the ladies. A GOOD IDEA. A Pittsburg girl who has a genius for giving charming luncheons and originating novel features for them in- troduced a flower arranged contest the other day which all her friends aie < opying. When each guest took her seat for this particular luncheon, she found at her cover a pretty vase of Bohemian glass. Beside the vase she found two or three rosebuds and a few sprays of green. The hostess explained that each girl would be expet ted to show her arlis- tic skill by arranging the flowers in the vase; that a prize would be gi'-en for the most exquisite grouping. Five minutes were allowed for the work, and at the end of that time some very dainty vases were ready to be judgeil. The prize was one of those smart lit- tle flower hampers which our florists are fitting out this winter. It was fllled with violets and tied with violet ribbon. — Daily Press. THE EASTER TRADE. Reports from all sections show that the Easter trade has broken all rec« ords and that everyone in the trade is thoroughly satisfied. This is ex- ceedingly gratifying and shows that the florist is receiving a fair share of the present prosperous general busi- ness conditions. We print in this is- 6ue a large number of reports and they seem- to be unanimous that this Easter was by far the most profit- able to the fiorist in many years. MINNEAPOLIS, MINN. Easter trade was the best we have had for years. Everything in cut fiow- ers and blooming plants sold readily and at better prices than last year. Lilies were all sold by Saturday noon. This seems to be the only fiowering plant buyers want for Easter. Azaleas, spiraeas, hyacinths and hydrangeas went slowly until lilies were all sold. Cut flowers of all kinds sold well at fairly good prices. On the whole this was the most satisfactory Easter ever known. G. DETROIT. Disagreeable, cold and cloudy weath- er until Saturday has made this Easter one rather to the advantage of the wholesaler, for the retail man had to place his orders to secure his stock, and customers put off placing orders until Saturday, thus making the poor, overworked retailer do five days' work in two. But on the whole it has been a good Easter for both. Stock of some kinds was short, not- ably lilies, but the florists had the en- tire trade, for the corner grocery found them too high to venture. Car- nations were also scarce and high. Plants sold well and there was a no- ticeable call for trimmed plants in baskets. One of our leading retailers employed a skillful trimmer for that purpose alone. Ill luck seems to pursue Asman & Dunn, for last week their delivery wagon was demolished and the horse killed by an electric car. ELK RAPIDS, MICH.— The Alfred J. Brown Seed Co. are placing con- tracts through this and adjoining townships for the seed pea crop for 1900. The price paid is $1 per bushel for peas sowed broadcast and $1 20 for peas cultivated. Several hundred acres are contracted. PLEASANT HILL. MO.— Geo. M. Kellogg reports that the Easter trade was the largest in the history of his establishment.

The regular monthly racetiug of the Kentucky Society of Florists was held at Music Hall on April 4. with Presi- dent C. F. Wood in the chair and a good attendance was present. Consid- erable business was transacted. It was decided to give a chrysanthemum show this fall, in November, and the advance premium list w-ill be mailed to every member. Mr. William Mann read a paper on "Artistic Work in Making Floral Designs." which at- tracted considerable attention. Easter trade was a record breaker this year. Lots of plants and ferns were sold. Some very fine tulips and azaleas went at a good figure. In cut flowers, prices were about the same as last year. Harrisii lilies were scarce. Jacob Schulz had a very fine dis- play of all kinds of plants, and reports a heavy trade this year. .loseph Coen- en & Co, sold every blooming plant they had. T. B. Rudy reports a very large Easter trade. Nanz & Neuner made a fine display at their store; a very iirge azalea in their show win- dow attracted considerable attention. Wood & Stubbs, the seedsmen, report a very large trade, and their forces are kept late to fill orders, Hy, Fuchs' little boy has been very sick, but is improving. C. H.

Bettman & Sous of New Al- bany, Ind., report the largest Easter sale of plants and cut flowers ever known. HY. LICHTEFELD. PEORIA, ILL. The Friday preceding Easter was cold and cloudy and very little business was done. Saturday being light and warm, brought out the crowds, and trade was excellent. LongiHorum lilies took the lead, and there were some very fine Harrisii grown by .J. C. Murray, with 12 to 14 flowers. There were large numbers of spireas, which sold well. Cole Bros', lilies did not all get in in time, but they did well with their other stuff. Kuhl. of Pekin, had a grand display and some fine cut roses. Loveridge did well with good roses, cut, and pot stufl:'. J. C. Murray had a very large and varied display in a huge store on Adams street, rented for the purpose, and sold out clean. His roses and car- nations were fine and plenty. Prices were 40 to 60 cents a dozen for carna- tions and fl to ?2 a dozen for roses. J. R. C3NaNNATL Easter trade was about the same as last year. There was a shortage of roses and carnations, due to the dark, rainy weather just previous to Easter, Bullions stock was not so plentiful as heretofore, and brought good prices. There was a good demand for bloom- ing plants both at the itores and the flower market. We were favored with Ideal weather on Saturday and Sun- day, which brought out the people, al- though it was too late to bring out the flowers. George & Allan hit it nicely with 5,000 Harrisii and sold them all at 15 cents per bloom, B. 638 The Weekly Florists' Review. APRIL U», 1900. INDIANAPOLIS, IND. Easter Trade. If one could have soeu the florists" faces here during the past week one would have witnessed a grand trans- formation scene. They were even gloomier than the weather, especially last Friday, when some of them btgan delivering plants in the snow storm we had here on that day. But now their countenances are l)righter than the sun on Easter morning and tliey greet you with a pleasant smile and slap you on the back and say, "Wasn't it a corker?" Well, to tell the truth, it was a corker. The weather waii surely with the florists. Saturday and Sunday, and everything in the Easter line was sold at fancy prices. In large plants lilies, hydrangeas. Rambler roses and azaleas took the lead at fancy prices. In smaller plants good bulbous stock, being scarce and in great demand, brought better prices than ever known here. In cut flowers carnations sold more freely than roses at from $1 to $3 per dozen. There was a good supply of roses that sold from $2 per dozen up. Of course there are a few soreheads that happened to miss it on such an occasion as this, but the opinion of the majority is that Easter trade was fully .50 per cent, better than last year. Garfield Park. I wish to state that our city florist, R. A. McKeand, extends to all the flor- ists of Indiana and especially of our own city an invitation to visit the city greenhouses at Garfield park on Sun- day, May 6th. "Mac" says that he has in the neighborhood of 200,000 plants in fine condition and all those who doubt this statement would do well by accepting this invitation and see for themselves. FRED. DES MOINES, lA. Easter Trade. Easter, 1900, is past and long to be remembered. The supply was far short of the demand. Harrisii was scarce and mostly shipped in, both cut and in pots. Hyacinths in pots were in poor demand, being inferior in stock. The church decorations were perhaps on the whole less than in former years, being mostly done by the members of the various churches furnishing plants and an occasional Harrisii. We did not hear of any florist getting more than a $15 deal with any church, but there may have been better orders placed. Most all of the boys com- plained of their orders from the com- mission house being cut down, and this disappointment added to vexation made the day long to be remembered. J. T. D. F. GRAND FORKS, N.

As usual, and partirularly ilining Easter week. I found the seuial Mr. Ullrich more than ordinarily busy. Both his wholesale and retail trade have fully kept pace with the times, having increased to an extent surpass- ing his own expectations. While we were chatting the letter carrier put in his appearance, depositing a stack of letters on the desk. "Be sure to send me so many roses." "May I depend on so man.y carnations?" "Won't you please let me have so many of one thing, and that many of another?" Such was the nature of that after- noon mail — a week before Easter. A stroll through the houses sufficed to convince me that enough stock was in sight to go the rounds. In this re- spect Mr. Ullrich is especially fortu- nate; not a bench but what showed a full crop in roses, as well as carna- tions. As to bulbous stock, it fairly took my eyes as well as my breath. In my travels I often hear com- plaints about Asparagus plumosus nanus seed being an utter failure. "The seed will not come up." I am often told by one florist or another, "and I pitched out the box." Don't "pitch" out the box, brother florist, says Mr. Ullrich, but bide your time. The seed, if fresh, is bound to come up some time; if soaked before sow- ing, it is sure to make rapid growth. Last spring Mr. Ullrich sowed 4.000 seeds, which remained dormant for al- most a year before they began to come up. To-day the boxes look as green and as fine as a well kept lawn and Mr. Ullrich will have 4,000 addi- tional seedlings to the lot of this year's sowing I soaked, by the way, before put in the soil).

Mention Tti- ll.'Vi.w w)ir-n y>>u \\Tit.' MILWAUKEE. Easter sales were fully 25 to 30 per cent better than previous years, in spite of shortage of stock, especially carnations anri lilies. The shortage in supply was greater than anticipated, due mostly to dark and cold weather the previous week. Thursday we had a snow storm, covering the ground vfith six to seven inches of snow. The weather redeemed itself, however, Sat- urday, too late to materially help the blooms along, but it was ideal weather for trade and excellent for delivery of plants, etc. Flower buyers were out in full force and dealers who laid in a large supply found little difficulty in unloading. There were very few good lily plants to offer by the end of the week, as ad- vance orders almost took the entire supply. Cut lilies were about equal to demand. With the exception of car- nations, plenty of other stock could be had in small flowers, such as val- ley, hyacinths, tulips, violets, etc. The sales of plants were large and most all the down town dealers were displaying a lot of azaleas, spireas, hy- acinths, tulips and daffodils in pots and flats. Cinerarias, geraniums, li- lacs, roses, mignonette and numerous other varieties also found a ready mar- ket. Reports up to this writing indi- cate that the trade in general with all dealers was very satisfactory and con- siderably beyond expectations, GEO, W, PITTSBURG. Easter trade was very good here. Every florist seems to be pleased with the business done. They report stock cleaned up. with prices about the same as last Easter, More plants were sold this year than ever before, the weather being rather favorable and a good sup- ply on hand. Florists are not prepared to say whether they did more business than last Easter, but they all had all they could take care of. Fine weather the week preceding made flowers more plenty than expected. Carnations were about the scarcest of any flower. All in all, Easter trade was very satisfac- tory. BAER. NEW ORLEANS.

If ever the drummer is out of sea- son and out of place, it is during East- er week, and particularly during the last three days, when the harvest is on. and hustle and bustle seem the or- der of the hour. At such a time one had better keep out of sight, for no florist, be he ever so genial and so- ciable, cares to entertain the agent. That the Easter of 1900 is a record- breaker is conceded on all sides. Everything sold, from the tiniest daisy to the mammoth azalea or hydrangea. W. D. Fischer & Sons report the best trade they ever had, with supply barely keeping pace with the demand, although, In anticipation of a large trade, they were exceptionally well equipped to meet and supply all de- mands. Messrs. Butz Bros, likewise report a rush, the like of which has never been known in the past. With a stock of roses that seemed more than enough for all purposes, they had barely enough with which to fiil orders. Bulb- ous stock, azaleas, and all sorts of blooming plants sold exceptionally well. S. DENVER, COLO. Only a few members turned out at club roll Tuesday evening.

A magnitioent hy- brid resulting from a cross of ItaliaxM.id. Crozy. The color is a rich shade ot orang; scarlet overlaid with gold, a superb coloring which In open sunlight is simply dazzling. The Form is an ideal of the Crozy type of bloom, the petals being very br.jad and over- lapping, measuring 2li to 3 inches wide, while th" Individual llowers are from 6 to 7 mches across. The Texture of the flowers is all that could be desired; they partake of the nature of the pollen parent or Crozy race in this respect, and withstand our hottest summer 3uns without wilting. The foliage is a bright glossy green, equal to a Musa in size and sub- stance and forms a beautiful foil to the gi- gantic trusses of bloom. The height ot the plant is 6 to 7 feet, the growth Is luxuriant to a degree, but very compact; the massive foli- age, giant trusses, and enormous individual (lower give the plant a noble tropical appear- ance. It Is the only Canna of Its kind in ex- istence, and absolutely surpasses all others; Its intrinsic value will make It a leading standard sort for years to come.

The officials of the Chicago, Burling- ton & Quincy railroad have been col- lecting some information concerning the sugar beet industry in Nebraska. Some difficulty was encountered early in the season in securing a suf- ficient acreage for the two large fac- tories there. But the final result was an acreage sufficient to meet all re- quirements. The weather conditions early in the season were favorable for planting and cultivating the beet, so that a good stand was secured. The crop matured in excellent condition, and is making a very large yield. The factories at Grand Island and Norfolk began operations about Octo- ber 1, an* are making a successful run, with a prospect of a larger sugar out- put than in any preceding year. The price paid to the farmer usually is $4 a ton, but the very good quality of this season's crop will secure %5 a ton. The output of the factories in the state this season is estimated to be about 25,000,000 pounds. "ANTE." In a Greenfield, Mass., cemetery was recently seen a new made grave with a floral tribute upon it bearing the word "Ante." Sporting men who saw it won- dered how much they must "ante" up for the sight. On inquiry it was found that a florist had been instructed to prepare an emblem with the word "Auntie" upon it, and this was the re- sult, which he brought in at too late a moment to rectify, but claimed that it was all right, as he had "looked in two dictionaries and they both spelled it that way." — Templeton (Mass.) Re- corder. w BOTANY. A meeting of the Vermont Botanical Club was held recently at Burlington, Vt. In the program we note there was a discussion of the question, "What Is a Species?" When the bot- anists have to argue the question, what hope is there for a poor florist? Another number on the program was: "The Dehiscence of the Sporan- gium of Pteris Crelica." Every dor- ist should at once post himself on the manner in which the aforesaid sporangium "dehisses," or he may make a miscue with his next batch of the fern named. WANT ADVERTISEMENTS.

Scott's Manual, we wish to say that we ron- slder it without equal as a book of reference for busy florists. GEO. M. KELLOGG. Pleasant Hill, Mo. Mr. Scott's superb work, "The Florists' Manual," was indeed worth waiting for. When compared with the amount of practical information it con- tains, the selling price, $5.00, seems a mere bagatelle. Oakland, Md. H. WEBER & SONS. It is the best book of the kind ever published. There is more in it than in any other book I have ever seen. I am delighted with it. Chicago. JOHN THORPE. The copy of the "Florists' Manual" was duly received. I am very well pleased with same. The more I read it the better satisfied I am with it, and there are one or two articles alone in It that are each worth all you ask for the book, for everything is made so , plain and all details are right to the point. I trust you may have a good and ready sale for the same. M. S. WORDEN. North Adams, Mass. The only fault to be found with It Is when you get reading it the mid- night oil is liable to run low and you have to go on to gas or reluctantly break off, either going to bed or first taking a look over the houses to see If the temperature tallies with the Manual. GEO. S. OSBORN. Hartford, Conn. We are in receipt of "The Florists' Manual" by Mr. Scott and may say it Is the right book for the florist, pub- lished at the right time. It is what we all need. BOBBINK & ATKINS. Rutherford, N. J. Am much pleased with the Manual. It is just what I have been looking for. Something that we can under- stand, and enjoy reading. M. NAUMAN. Etna, Pa. I am very much pleased with the Manual. It is just what we have need- ed for a long time. N. ZWEIFEL. Milwaukee, Wis. It Is certainly a neat and handsome book and does you credit. BENJAMIN HAMMOND. Flshklll-on-Hudson, N. Y. It is a work of art and should be In the hands of all live florists. Its use- ful and instructive contents can not fail to be a benefit to all in the trade. - C. C. POLLWORTH Co. Milwaukee, Wis. The book Is written for the work- ing gardener, and Mr. Scott's reputa- tion is so well secured that he will find among his gardening friends a host of genuine admirers. As a writer on practical gardening subjects, he is a recognized authority. • * • Mr. Scott has long been an employer and knows what information young gar- deners, or those with little experience, need, and he has his whole subject so perfectly at command that he can give the most desirable and essential information in the clearest language and with satisfactory brevity. The book is a distinct and Important gain to the practical garden literature of this country, and it should be in the hands of every gardener, and everyone else engaged or interested in "orna- mental horticulture. The price of the book is $5, which seems somewhat high, but for useful information it is worth every oent of It. — Vlck's Maga- zine. Am well pleased with the Manual. It Is a practical, everyday helper, con- cise and to the point. W. A. KENNEDY. Milwaukee, Wis. Am very much pleased with the book; it is very I»ndy for reference. Macomb, 111. F. E. BONHAM. Unlike so many of our books. It has the very flavor and essence of ac- tual experience. L. H. BAILEY. Ithaca, N. Y. We find the book very useful as a reference in answering the many ques- tions about plants that we receive al- most every day. Philadelphia. JOS. KIFT & SON. Detroit, Mich., January 6, 1900. — Mr. Wm. Scott, Buffalo, N. Y. Dear Sir: The Commissioners of Parks and Bou- levards some time since directed that a library be started of such books as deal with subjects pertaining to park work, and to that end, an order has been given for a number of books, among which is your "The Florists' Manual." After reading this book carefully, I am greatly pleased, and wish to con- gratulate you on the practical manner with which you have treated the sub- ject. This book is placed where it will be accessible to all of our greenhouse em- ployes, where this board expects to reap a reward many times the cost of the book. Respectfully yours, COMMISSIONERS OP PARKS AND BOULEVARDS, R. J. CORYELL, Gen'l Sup't. I am more than pleased with The Florists' Manual. OTT BROWN Cape May City, N. J. Manual to hand. Am well satisfied that it Is the best work of its kind ever published. JAS. HARTSHORNE. Joliet, III. I am greatly pleased with the Man- ual. C. J. REARDON. Lake Geneva, Wis. Enclosed find $5.00 in payment for the copy of the Florists' Manual. No progressive fiorist, old or young, can afford to be without the Florists' Man- nual. The old florist needs it, for ref- erence, to aid a defective memory, and the young fiorist wants it as a guide in this progressive era of the florist's business. J. T. TEMPLE. Davenport, la.

SCOTT D S A BOOK of 224 large pages (same size as those of the Florists' Review) and contains about 200 articles on commercial plants and cultural oper- ations, each giving " the meat " only, from the personal experience of a thoroughly practical man who is in daily touch with each department of the business and who has that rare quality of being able to tell others what tliey want to kuow.

Things heard, seen and thought of during the Easter rusli will not be out of place to discuss now. for if there be any merit in a thing it is good at all times. The wise will be always willing to learn and the best lessons are often purchased by experi- ence. Events like Easter affoi'd the florist an opportunity to show his ar- tistic and business ability, and this should not be measured by the volume of business done, but in the manner in which permanent effects have been catered to or assured, for it is good to consider quality as against quan- tity in all things and weigh ultimate accomplishments. To the fakir we have nothing to say, his success is due principally to the cheap or shoddy element in human nature, and though at times he may intrude upon or occupy the place of the legitimate business man, some small circumstance may remove his temporary prosperity like the wind would blow away chaff. The solid business man or woman must adopt different methods to success. Their aims are not merely for temporary but for permanent results. Their business, like the towering building, is raised by perseverance and the careful usage of measured thought and act. les, 'tis true, some have builf greenhouses and opened stores and won apparently flourishing trade on nothing, neither money, ability nor effort. It is hard to account for some things; but there is no glory won by results of lethargic payments of obligations, and whether they occupy glass palaces or not they are but fakirs who pay but seldom or not at all for the goods they buy; that is really the only way to judge, for any one can buy, not all can pay. Don't misjudge us, our sympathies are with the poor and struggling whose very intention is worth the ac- tual deed of others. We refer to the proud, false, glittering objects which leave nothing behind except execra- tions and regrets. You had the efforts of these to deal with at Easter time, and the best way to combat evil influ- ence is to be careful of your own ac- tions. Popularity is everything to a business nowadays, and this can be won in several ways. The easiest and cheapest is to appear pleasant on all occasions; no one likes to deal with a gruff or sour person, and many a time and oft, as most of you know, customers will come long distances to you, not because they could not do better nearer home, but for some rea- son even you cannot explain; there- fore, the greatest care should always be used to give satisfaction. Unfortunately at busy times regular customers are compelled to put up with much indilTerence, many times with neglect, and their tolerance and good nature should be rewarded. Small orders are often forgotten in the great hurrah, and there will be numerous justifiable complaints which should receive careful and generous attention. Many of you have plants left over from Easter which could have been placed to good advantage before you closed on Easter Sunday. In most cases it is bad to send plants grati.s to any one, if the impression is im- parled that you would not have given thc'Mi if you could have sold then). Opinions thus created are only capable of bearing contempt. There's a nice way of avoiding many unpleasant things by timely consideration. It is difficult, we know, to attend to every detail and have everything success- fully done at a time like Easter, but you should profit by the lessons given, remomlioring that it is not always the quantity of help but rather the quality and system that accomplishes best re- sults. There is a great deal done when proper preparations are made. The trade is much divided on many small matters; it is a case of many men. many minds, yet the system which reduces labor and expedites business should be adopted. Now in the matter of "order" or "day" books versus order pads, there is much to discuss. We prefer the printed order pad of a size convenient for the pocket. There should be no lines on it and only a few words print- ed, such as "ordered by" on top and "sent to" above where the address is put at the bottom. The simpler the or- der sheet the better, for in a rush you have no time to conform to lines or fill in examination-like blanks. Files are cheap and are of great convenience and preservative value. You need only three or four in actual warfare. Pin the card, if any. on the order sheet and put it on the "order file" face up. When you enter that order in your account book write out the address tag also, and mark the order sheet, in blue pencil, a. m. or p. m., and the day it is for. Put that on the checked file, or you can dispense with entering in the book till the rush is over, but Store of Aldred & Co., New York, at Easter. 660 The Weekly Florists' Review* APRIL 2t;, 1900. it is good to have your boolvkeeper do the sorting out and addressing at the same time, and when on Easter or Christmas eve your cut flower or plant man starts to fill orders, a file, on which the orders are placed in proper rotation, should be handeil him with another upon which to put his exe- cuted ones when properly marked. This simplifies his work and will en- able him to do several times the amount of work done by those who have to refer to books and bother writing tags with every order. In this way. too. delivery routes can be arranged; nothing should be handled twice if the same result can be reached the plant and place it in the section it belongs. We repeat again that every florist should send out a leaflet giv- ing cultural directions with every plant, and the utmost precaution should be adopted to insure careful de- livery. We saw many deplorable sights among plants this Easter. The flow- ers were battered or completely de- stroyed; it is safe to say that more than 2.5 per cent of plants and flowers sent out on an occasion like this are utterly worthless when delivered; this not only causes much chagrin but greatly injures the trade. Your tag should never be on anything you Ii;iskets in Flei^clinKiiin's Window. New York Stores at Easter. by doing it once. Cool .calculation will profit you more than nervous prostration. It is better to stop a mo- ment and think than to become fren- zied and make errors. Try to keep your plant orders and accounts separate from your cut flow- ers, for two reasons: You will the more readily see which pays best, and cut flowers as a rule are more urgent in delivery than plants; it is a great trouble to separate them when late. One of the best ways to do with plants is to prepare them for delivery imme- diately after being sold. By this we mean put the card and tag on at once, hand them over to the shipper, who may wrap paper around the bottom ot would be ashamed to acknowledge as yours, and everything sent out at any time, particularly in a case like this, should be done in a way to give sat- isfaction, because that is the best method of advertising your business. In regard to cut flowers, it will pay you to have some one specially de- tailed to take care of the stock, put it in water and keep it from being mauled about; much of the profit is often wasted by carelessness in this way. These observations are always in season with the florist. The rules which are good for Easter are good any time; it Is only a matter of ex- pansion. A few New Y'ork florists have a man to make up the violet orders and de- liver them by special wagon to insure their being delivered in time for church Easter Sunday. Violet tinfoil destroys the sweetness of violets and looks cheap, besides; if the stems must be covered either twist the ribbon round them or use the small laca handkerchief. The most important thing connected with the violet is its fragrance. The best cut flower boxes seen were the rich plain ones. Somo pretty boxes were those with a spray of flowers in the center of the lid. The colored paper and cheap wallpaper ef- fects are in disfavor. The supply of good plant baskets, especially pot covers, ran short. It was impossible to get any on Satur- day. Some abominable and trashy colors were among those offered; you. couldn't match them in a rainbow. Will some one invent a good cheap class of pot covers, also a wool cap for the protection of lilies? The things which were plain and had quality sold best. All seem satisfied with the busi- ness done. It's a pleasure to read the reports from all over the country. Trailing arbutus is being sold on the streets and in the stores. When this beautiful little flower appears spring's warm smiles have succeeded in drying winter's cold tears. IN'fiRA. NEW YORK STORES AT EASTER. We have much pleasure in giving you glimpses of some New York florist stores, taken specially for these col- umns on Easter Saturday. Pictures speak better than words sometimes. Otir instructions to the artist were to procure illustrations of groups of "made-up" work, showing the differ- ent styles, rather than of extensive displays, consequently we would ask you to look upon these as representa- tive detail work, not of quantity of stock, which was something enormous! Then again, owing to the rush of peo- ple, it was impossible to either obtain many desirable pictures or do justice to those presented. Broadway and the principal avenues of New York are busy places on Saturdays, and we wish to thank all for the courtesies ex- tended. We were pleased to note that most of the first-class stores did not use any crepe papers this Easter. Baskets and ribbons were the only forms of decora- tions used; the best element will have none of the dresses which turn a flor- ist's store into a paper doll shop. The cheaper stores of course still had their rolls of paper, and the combinations seen in the delivery wagons on Satur- day and Sunday were enough to make an automobile run wild. These views show but a few of the principal stores in the center of the city, but they are sufficient to repre- sent the typical up-to-date American flower shop, and there is no possibil- ity of comparison with them in any city of Europe. Very much of the work turned out this Easter was very creditable — in fact, a great advance on APKIL 26, lilOO. The Weekly Florists' Review. 661 A Corner in Stumpp's Store. New York Stores at Easter. that of other years. The qual.ty of many varieties of plants was mucii finer, and that of itself may have de- creased over-elaborateness of dressing. Each store endeavored to have some- thing different from the other and many of them succeeded admirably. Thorley had his lilies in ordinary plant pots which were painted a bright yellow; saucers were furnished and painted similarly; bows of yellow rib- bon were tied half way up the lily stalks. His window in the early part of the week was entirely composed of lilies thus treated, and it was rather striking and distinct. Painted pots promise to be popular in future; per- haps the pot-makers may wake up and give us something good and cheap which will dispense with store. bother- ations. But let us discuss the pictures and what they teach; if we criticise ad- versely, remember it is only in the in- terests of education; that is the only reason we present them. No. 1 is a view of some of the bas- kets arranged in Fleischmann's win- dow. The center is the new birch-bark basket which was quite popular this Easter. Paper trimmed baskets are in the rear. Both gauze and taffeta rib- bons are used on the plants bhown and you will notice a round card price tag instead of the ordinary wooden lab.?I. Mr. Fleischmann's work was better be- cause it was less artificial than we have seen it for some time in his store, and the comparisons even in this pic- ture will be enough to convince. No. 2 shows Stumpp's style of Easter work. The crepe paper fad, though distinctly of French origin, can be said to have been introduced to New York first from this store. Now you will no- tice that their best work is confined to baskets, and very well and rich it looks. Satin ribbons and silk tasseled cords are used to good effect, and you will also notice the card price tag. which has also a dry goods tinge to it. We don't believe in any sort of price tags on plants because they are gener- ally left on. No. 3 is a very good picture of Thor- ley's window, showing hampers filled with growing violets and baskets of mixed plants. The handles are twisted and tied with taffeta ribbons to match the flowers. No papers were used here. IVERA. (Other views will appear next week. —Ed.) WINTER FLOWERING PLANTS. "Voung Florist" writes: "Ple;i;se give a list of plants' which flower con- stantly during the winter, such as Pri- mula Forbesii. mignonette and forget- me-not. Also the main cultural points, so as to have them ready for blooming early in the winter." 'I'o do justice to this question would take a volume, and I can only men- lion what occurs to me as the "cut and coiiie again" flowers that are useful to I he llorist. First, there arc the three leading flowers of ovir business, the rose, carnation and violet, the cul- tivation of which has been written up a thousand times and still going on. That important class known as bulb- ous is made continuous by successive crops, beginning with paper white narcissus and Roman hyacinths in No- vember, and lasting till we get the gay tulips outside in May. The longiflorum lily and its varieties we constantly have by bringing on consecutive batches. Among the continuous blooming plants that are available for cutting we have Bouvardia. propagated in Fel)- ruary, flowering from November to May; mignonette, sown in .July, flow- ering from November till late spring; sweet alyssum. planted in the houses in August, continuous throughout the winter; Primula Forbesii and P. ob- conica. Of the latter there are now some splendid strains. Sown in May, they flower from November through- out" the winter. Zonal geraniums, plants selected in April, shifted on and not allowed to flower till October, flower continuously for many months. Stevia serratifolia is invaluable for Christmas, but it is only one crop. Manv of the abutilons flower pro- fusely" through the winter, but it is only in designs that their flowers can be used. Antirrhinums are most use- ful decorative plants. Sow in April and keep in flats or pots and plant out in cool house in August. Begonias; Of this large and beautiful genus there are scarcely any that would pay to grow for cut flowers. We find the most useful to be what we know as incarnata grandiflora. but there is but one cutting, though most useful at Christmas and later. Propagated in March, the calla lily (Richardia) blooms well in pots from October to Mav, and since the Harrisii are so much affected with disease there is an inclination to grow more of them. Chrysanthemums can now be had from October 1st to New Year's. Cvclamen are not only the most beautiful of pot plants, but their flow- ers are equally useful and are not out of place among the choicest flowers. Sown in November, they flower from November to April. The Marguerites, or Paris daisies, flower from Novem- ber on till spring, if kept cut. and are graceful and pretty. Heliotrope is liked by all. but the only way to grow it profltably to cut is to have a large plant at the end of a house and cut or spur it back as you would a grape 662 The Weekly Florists' Review.

Sow in August or lift plants from open ground and plant on bench in September. Pansies are always in demand in winter, but difficult to bloom in dark weather. Very good up to December 1st and from first of March on. Swain- sona flowers profusely during winter. Should be grown in pots or tubs where roots are confined. I have not included such plants as lilac or spiraea, which can only be forced for one crop. Now, a,s before said, the detailed di- rections for the cultivation of the above, although in most cases very simple and well known, would occupy more time and space than I can af- ford, and I respectfully refer "Young Florist" to "Scott's Florists' Man- ual." W. S. Herbaceous Plants. Florists who grow heibacious iil.-ints will be busy with order.> just i.ow. There is no time uiore favorable than the next ten days for transplanting nearly all herbaceous planL". Most of them divide with the greatest ease and can be divided ruthlessly witli a sharp spade. Although that lat-gs class of plants known as herbaceous, of which we can take the paeoui.i and phlox as familiar types, are thought to be about everlasting, yet they wear out in the contest and they mist continually spread and make more crown.s or there would soon be no flowers, so they are all benefited by lifting and dividing every five or six years. You cannot make the ground too deep or too rich for all this class of plants and if the best results are wanted give them room. An exception to propagating by division is the beau- tiful herbaceous pyrelhrum, P. hybrid- um. They are perhaps the most useful of all this class of plants to the florist who has use tor the flowers. 'When they have made a growth of two or three inches, if strong plants they send up . innumerable shoots. Rob each plant of a few cuttings. They will root in sand in a frame or house, but a mild hotbed is the most favorable place. Grow them along in 4-inch pots till September, when you can plant them out. They are very hardy, but do not always live when pulled or cut in pieces. They take up little room in the garden and their beautiful flowers are admired by all. Achillea The Pearl divides easily and is always useful and lasts a long lime in flower. The splendid hybrid del- phiniums you can't be without. If it is only to decorate your store windows they are most desirable. There may not be much money in these hardy garden plants to the high toned store florist, but they are most useful for a cheaper grade of business and every florist who has an acre or two of land should have a collection. They take care of themselves and many of our customers, particularly those who have summer resorts, want just such plants for their rural gardens. Easter Plants. I meant last week to say more in my notes about a -few important Easter plants that maybe you have left over. We were disappointed in the sale both of the Acacia armata and the metrosid- eros. They may go in other cities. We had well flowered plants of both and they were grown one winter and sum- mer here, and are much better than the newly imported plants. When the flowers are gone cut the shoots back to within three or four inches of the pre- vious year's growth. That is, all the growth they made since last April should be cut back to, within a few inches. Place them in a house where it is 55 to 60 degrees all night, and syringe. They will soon break and make young growth. About the mid- dle of June we plunged them in a frame in the broad sun and never let them want for water. In .July we mulched Ihem with some rotten cow manure to which was added a third of good sheep manure. To this summer mulching, especially the sheep manure. I attribute the fine, robust growth they made. If they need a shift, when you put them out in June is a goo.l time. The best azaleas we had, particular- ly the Dr. Moore, were plants that we had carried over precisely the same as described above. Mind, in the fuUe.-t sun. no shade of any kind, they don't want it. I mention Dr. Moore because this variety is often a poor bloomer the spring after being imported, but when grown here a season it is a grand variety, and its beautiful rosy pink is much more pleasing than the great favorite. Mme. Van der Cruys- sen. Edmond Vervaine, Prof. Wolters and Beruhard Andreas alba were other varieties that were very fine after a year's growth with us. It the azaleas are large and in gco:l health, shorten back last year's growth about one-half. If the plants were much abused and not very strong cit them back still harder. The wood of two years' growth will make any amount of breaks. Encourage by syr- inging and a genial heat a good growth and they will do nicely in- doors till you are over your bedding plant rush, which is usually the mid- dle of June. Sometimes one watering in twenty- four hours is not enough in our b is- tering sun and they must not be neg- lected, nor must they be stood in a. frame where during a wet spell they would be standing in an inch or two of water, tor that tor many hojrs would be fatal. Thrip and red spider trouble azaleas in hot weather, but a daily syringing given to them hard and horizontariy seem.s with us to entirely keep down these pests. Pilogyne Soavs. I notice in a catalogue the little climber Pilogyne suavis. You don't see it in every list, for it is not gener- ally known. It is without a rival as a summer climber, not going to the length or height of a moon vine, but tor a dense growth, rapidity, and a beautiful veil of greenery there is no climber its equal. For a trellis or any position not over 7 or S feet high It is the ideal vine. Cuttings struck in the fall remain doimant and rusty look- ing till February. Then they begin to grow and if you are not careful they will soon grow over everything within 3 feet of them. Cuttings rooted now will be mo.-e than large enough by planting time. If this sweet little climber was more eas- ily managed in winter it would be uni- versally grown. Its leaves have a slight musk odor, but not enough to offend the fastidious nose. Any portion of the growth will root. Asparagus. We never seem to have too many small Asparagus plumosus and when you can be sure of getting good seed. Now is a good time to sow. The plants sown now will make fine little stuff for ferneries which are wanted in quant ty in the fall. Lilies. For some time our Lilium lane fo- lium have been in a very cool house, in fact retarded as much as possib'e. They are now 5 or 6 inches high and growing fast. Auratum we have not grown this year as it has b en very unsatisfactory of late and the flower is too coarse and strong to be used in any way except out of doors. The album and rubrum or roseum are beautiful flowers and are useful when good flowers are scarce. They are lia- ble to come in rather plentifully at one time. You can give some of them APRIL 26. 191J0, The Weekly Florists' Review 663 Thorley's Window.

Greenfly is terrible on the Japan lilies and fu- migation must be faithfully attend- ed to. Pelargoniums. I have said very little about pelar- goniums for a long time because 1 am disgusted with them. After growing a fine plant from a cutting in Septem- ber to a 5-inch pot they are then passed by and a zonal geranium is pre- ferred. I don't blame the public for the zonal geranium has many better qualities. If you do grow the show pelargo- niums this is the time of year they will be opening their buds and now it is that you must not let the Are out and have a damp, cool atmosphere or the petals will drop in one single night. Keep a fire going even if you have to give air. And frequent but mild fumigation is most necessary or else the story will be: "My Martha Washington is covered with them a;r nasty lice." WILLIAM SCOTT. Carnations. At a little adjourned session after the last meeting of the Chicago Florists' Club, President Hartshorne, W. N. Rudci, P. M. Broadbeck and Walter Retzer exchanged some interesting ex- periences and the writer took the lib- erty of making notes, Mr. Hartshorne said that be had a house of carried over Bradts that had been doing very much better than the young plants. They had been replant- ed in fresh soil, but kept under glass all the time and they had produced much more freely than the young plants, the blooms being of extra qual- ity, too. Referring to seedlings, he said that from one pod he had recently taken 73 seeds, much the largest number he had ever secured from one pod. He wondered what had caused that pod to produce so many seeds. Mr, Rudd said his foreman had an idea that in cross- fertilizing it increased the number of seeds to thoroughly plaster the stigma with pollen, Mr. Retzer thought the amount of pollen would have little ef- fect onlv it might be that ordinarily there was much of the pollen that was not at the exact degree of ripeness and by using a good deal there was greater certainty of having enough pollen grains that were at the right stage ro be effective. Mr Rudd said that he wa» growing two carnation plants for every one that he expected to bench, with the intention of having a big batch from which to select only the very best plants. He obseived last season that the plants that had been in extra good shape when put on bench had paid a vast sight better for the space occupied and he was sure it would pay well to grow enough to have all extra select for benching even if he had to thiow away the unused ones. Next year he will carry this idea still further bv marking the best plants and taking cuttings tiom them only. He believed that the success of certain well known growers On!an 176 1.19 IGfi F.

The advent of spring has made roses of all kinds probably more plentiful than ever before in the his- tory of the business. Prices on them depend largely upon the generosity of the buyer, and fakirs infest every street corner with thousands, of them. Nothing else has been overplentiful unless we figure upon a slight accumu- lation of lilies, mignonette and fine white flowers. Good violets are scare- and carnations remain a little so, with a littk; deviation from that rule .n case of Daybreaks. Not so much talk of building green- house additions as usual at this time of year. Probably prices on materia'.s cause an extra amount of thinking be- fore speaking, but Mr. Walsh predict.^ an appreciable fall in these prices an:l he is situated better than any one else to hear reasons for any prophecies he may make. Not so extended a list of sick ones at present. Lester Mann has been having a hard fight with a very severe case of pneumonia ever since his sick- ness ■was reported five or six weeks ago and there is no improvement yet. Mr. Flynn. the indefatigable "Larry" of G7 Bromfieid street, after a solid week preceding Easter, gave up Satur- day night and has been on the sick list ever since. B. T. KANSAS CITY, MO. Easter trade was all that could be expected. Most dealers report an in- crease of 2.5 to 35 per cent, and a de- cided increase in the sale of plants. Lilies were in good demand and supply about equal to it. Prices were not ad- vanced very much except on rosts. Carnations were in short supply. A few of the grov/ers held stock back until the last moment. As a result the dealers pushed plant sales vigor- ously and when these growers got around with their stock there was not a very brisk demand for it. We live anii learn. The weather was perfect Friday and Saturday and up to Sunday noon, after which we had a good soaking April shower.

[Extracts from the Easter sermon of llie Rev. W. J. .McKittncK, 5t. L luii, as reporicd in the St. Louis Kepublic.l "God was very kind to the world when he made it the gift of flower.s, pushing the wilderness into b'.oom. starring the meadows with twinklin.i; constellations, sowing harvest..^ of love- liness In waste places, flowers for baby hands, flowers for marriage festivals. flowers at hospital beds, flowers that are voices of love, flowers that are scattered over graves. Our thoughts today are for the Easter flowers. The churches are fragrant with them. Th? music of the organ pip^^s and ch.inting voices goes rolling over their leave? and petals. We welcome their visit. We are glad to see them. "We will place a bunch of them on the Bible. Let us wreathe this old book with a garland of them. Let us cover it over with who'e armfuls of them. Flowers stand for beauty. Their ministry to the earth is a minis- try of beauty. And are they not at home on this beautiful Word of God? As they rest there, bits of earthly beauty, yellow, red or pink, can we not imagine them falling into quick fel- lowship with the great masses of heavenly beauty underneath them? Every law of God is crammed with light and glory. All the divinely re- corded provinces of God move through these pages with the stately tread of an armored host. "Let us hang another garland up^n the cross. Bring your fairest ro..^es and lilies to twine about the feet of .lesus as He hangs there. Let that cros.s be enswathed in the sweet odors of our gratitude. How much do we owe to it? More than any eloquence could express, more than all the choirs of angels could tell forth in most melo- dious song, for that c ross stands above all the jars and discords of selfishness. above all the strivings and buttlings of greed, as heaven's supreme illustra- tion of divine life, of the regnant and controlling principle of the kingdom of God, nf that great law of God, of that great law of vicarious suffering and service, which must be appropri- ated and incorporated into our lives, if we would rise above the beasts that perish and hold kinship with our heav- enly Father. * * * "Let us put another wreath of flow- ers upon the tomb. This is where our thoughts are circling today. Over that broken grave our hosannas are leaping and mounting. Bunches of flowers, crowns of flowers, pillars of flowers, harps of flowers, white as snow, re- calling his purity, red as blood, recall- ing his victory, steeped in dew. telling of descending blessings, bathed in sun- light, telling of rejoicing hopes, open- ing buds, proclaiming an opened heav- en. Let us scatter them broadcast be- fore that tomb from which he rose, and let us spread them about his feet as he stands once again among the disciples, as he .sets their hearts aflame by his renewed communion with them; as he breaks bread with them before the fire of coals, as he sits with them on the shore of the sea.

Mr. John Breitmeyer. one of the vet- eran florists of this city, died at his home in Mt. Clemen.s on Sunday morn- ing, the 22nd. He was pre-eminent'.y a self-made man, coming to this coun- try as an emigrant. Poor but desirous of bettering himself, he succeeded in accumulating a competency and built up a business as a florist equaled by none in the state. His life was a sim- ple one, with no ostentation, and his chief delight was to meet a few friends and chat. His was an open, sunny nature and his friends were many, for none knew him but to love him. The interment took place at Mt. Clemens on the 24th, the Detroit Flor- ists' Club attending the funeral in a body, some fifty in number. Mr. Breit- meyer was only 65 years of age and the cause of his death was pneumonia. RAG. GRAND RAPIDS, MICH. The weather since Easter has bean warm and pleasant, with cool nights. Trade still keeps up and stock is just as scarce as before Easter, espgcially carnations. A run of funeral work has helped to get rid of ajy surplus that might have accumulated. Roses are |1 to $1.50 per doz.; carnations, 35 to 50 cents; lilies, fl.50 per doz. Everyone is getting their geraniums into 43; spreading them out and getting ready for a Decoration Day record-breaking trade. G. F. C. SYRACUSE, N. Y. Easter sales showed an increase over former years and prices averaged better. Flowering plants of all kinds were in good demand. Azaleas sold exceptionally well. Lilies were not as much in demand as formerly. In cut flowers carnations took the lead with prices ranging from 50 cents to $1.50 per dozen. Roses took second place, ranging in price from $2.00 to $3.00 per dozen. Violets third, at $2.00 per 100. Bulbous stuff last. M. OCEANIC, N. J. At the regular semi-monthly meet- ing of the Monmouth County Horticul- tural Society it was decided to hold only one meeting a month until Octo- ber, and the third Friday of «ac!i month will be the day.

LOWELL, MASS. Messrs. Patten & Roberts report a very satisfactory Easter trade. They had one of the finest and largest dis- plays of lilies ever seen here. They were "crackerjacks." Thursday and Friday it looked as though somi might be left on hand, as one of the dry goods houses was selling lilies at cut prices, but nevertheless all were sold and many more could have been disposed of. Cut flowers at this estab- lishment were in abundance and of Al quality. In the midst of their Easter trade they had a lot of funeral work. One of the designs worthy of mention was a handsome wreath five feet in diam- eter, made of valley embellished with violets, which was one of the pretti- est designs seen here in a long time. They are now certain that their new store at 8 Mark Square is the finest location in town. McManmon reports a good trade. having sold plenty of azaleas and rho- dodendrons. Whittet & Co. say business was very satisfactory. AH the florists in the town are sharpening their axes for the man who sold the lilies to the dry goods mer- chant. M. THE QUEEN OF EDGELY. On the 17th inst. the silver medal of the Pennsylvania Horticultural So- ciety was awarded to the Floral Ex- change, Philadelphia, for the new rose Queen of Edgely, the pink sport of American Beauty. The Floral Exchange has recently contracted for 25.000 feet of glass to be used for growing their new rose. One of the houses will have thirteen beds and will be called the Colonial house. each bed being named after one of the thirteen colonies. MINNEAPOLIS, MINN.— The Min- nesota Botanical Society was organ- ized at a meeting held here April 14. A committee consisting of E. M. Free- man, Mrs. E. F.

Toledo clover seed dealers are more than satisfied with the results of the year 1899 and indications point to a still better business with better prices in 1900. The following shows the amount of receipts and shipments of clover seed at this point for 1899, as compared with the previous year: RECEIPTS. 1S98 11S.940 bags 1899 131,760 bags Increase 12,820 bags SHIPMENTS. 3898 90,000 bags 1899 .157,830 bags Increase 67,830 bags Prices were much higher in 1899 than in the previous year. The follow- ing is a comparative table of prices to- day, as against one year ago: 1898. 1899. Prime cash seed $4.67^4 $5.62% No. 2 cash 3.10 4.65 So far the shipments have been largely for export. The scarcity of prime cash this season is one cause for the prevailing high price of that article. The crop was large but poor in quality. No. 2 cash comprises the bulk of the seed received here. Home dealers have not yet begun buying— waiting for a drop in prices. As the decline did not come before the first of the year, it is not likely to come now. Local dealers look for a further advance, as the home de- mand is now in order. Stocks of seed ■on hand to-day are about SO.O(H> bags, as against 65,000 this time last year.— Toledo (0.) Bee, Jan. 4. FLOWER LOVERS. There are many people in the world ■who like flowers; there are some peo- ple who love them, and these consti- tute a class unto themselves. The dif- ference is this: Those who simply like flowers are quite satisfied that other people shall have the troul)le of grow- ing them; those who love flowers find delightful recreation in cultivating them, in co i ing in touch with the growing plants and in petting them. As a rule, women love flowers better than men love them, but there are many flower-lovers among men. — Richmond (Va.) Times. TILE BENCH BOTTOM. Mr. M. C. ("lay, Greenl'ord, O.. writes us descrildng a tile bench liottom made •of ordinary 4-inch tiles that have been slit in two lengthwise. An incision is made on opposite sides before the tile are burned and the two halves separate readily afterward. He lays these side by side across the bench, convex side up, and says they make a very satisfactory bench bottom, giv- ing perfect drainage and onl.v half as many tile required to cover the same surface as would be the case were whole tile used. He writes that L.

Scott's Manual, we wish to say tliat we con- sider it without equal as a book of reference for busy florists. GEO. M. KELLOGG. Pleasant Hill, Mo. Mr. Scott's superb work, "The Florists' Manual," was indeed worth waiting for. When compared with the amount of practical information it con- tains, the selling price, $5.00, seems a mere bagatelle. Oakland, Md. H. WEBER & SONS. It Is the best book of the kind ever published. There is more in it than In any other book I have ever seen. I am delighted with it. Chicago. JOHN THORPE. The copy of the "Florists' Manual" was duly received. I am very well pleased with same. The more I read It the better satisfied I am with it, and there are one or two articles alone in it that are each worth all you ask for the book, for everything is made so plain and all details are right to the point. I trust you may have a good and ready sale for the same. M. S. WORDEN. North Adams, Mass. The only fault to be found with It Is when you get reading it the mid- night oil is liable to run low and you have to go on to gas or reluctantly break off, either going to bed or first taking a look over the houses to see if the temperature tallies with the Manual. GEO. S. OSBORN. Hartford, Conn. We are in receipt of "The Florists' Manual" by Mr. Scott and may say it is the right book for the florist, pub- lished at the right time. It is what we all need. BOBBINK & ATKINS. Rutherford, N. J. Am much pleased with the Manual. It is just what I have been looking for. Something that we can under- stand, and enjoy reading. M. NAUMAN. Etna, Pa. I am very much pleased with the Manual. It is just what we have need- ed for a long time. N. ZWEIFEL. Milwaukee, Wis. It Is certainly a neat and handsome book and does you credit. BENJAMIN HAMMOND. Fishklll-on-Hudson, N. Y. It is a work of art and should be in the hands of all live florists. Its use- ful and instructive contents can not fail to be a benefit to all in the trade. C. C. POLLWORTH Co. Milwaukee, Wis. The book is written for the work- ing gardener, and Mr. Scott's reputa- tion is so well secured that he will find among his gardening friends a host of genuine admirers. As a writer on practical gardening subjects, he is a recognized authority. • * • Mr. Scott has long been an employer and knows what information young gar- deners, or those with little experience, need, and he has his whole subject so perfectly at command that he can give the most desirable and essential information in the clearest language and with satisfactory brevity. The book is a distinct and Important gain to the practical garden literature of this country, and it should be in the hands of every gardener, and everyone else engaged or interested in orna- mental horticulture. The price of the book is $5, which seems somewhat high, but for useful information it is worth every cent of it. — Vick's Maga- zine. Am well pleased with the Manual. It is a practical, everyday helper, con- cise and to the point. W. A. KENNEDY. Milwaukee, Wis. Am very much pleased with the book; it is very handy for reference. Macomb, 111. F. E. BONHAM. Unlike so many of our books, it has the very flavor and essence of ac- tual experience. L. H. BAILEY. Ithaca, N. Y. Detroit, Mich., January 6, 1900.— Mr. Wm. Scott, Buffalo, N. Y. Dear Sir: The Commissioners of Parks and Bou- levards some time since directed that a library be started of such books as deal with subjects pertaining to park work, and to that end, an order has been given for a number of books, among which is your "The Florists' Manual." After reading this book carefully, I am greatly pleased, and wish to con- gratulate you on the practical manner with which you have treated the sub- ject. This book is placed where it will be accessible to all of our greenhouse em- ployes, where this board expects to reap a reward many times the cost of the book. Respectfully yours, COMMISSIONERS OF PARKS AND BOULEVARDS, R. J. CORYELL, Gen'l Sup't. I am more than pleased with The Florists' Manual. OTT BROWN. Cape May City, N. J. Manual to hand. Am well satisfied that it is the best work of its kind ever published. JAS. HARTSHORNE. Joliet, 111. I am greatly pleased with the Man- ual. C. J. REARDON. Lake Geneva, Wis. We find the book very useful as a reference in answering the many ques- tions about plants that we receive al- most every day. Philadelphia. JOS. KIFT & SON. Enclosed find $5.00 in payment for the copy of the Florists' Manual. No progressive florist, old or young, can afford to be without the Florists' Man- nual. The old florist needs it, for ref- erence, to aid a defective memory, and the young florist wants it as a guide in this progressive era of the fiorist's business. j. t. TEMPLE. Davenport, la.

SCOTT n S A BOOK of 224 large pages (same size as those of the Florists' Review) and contains aijout 200 articles on commercial plants and cultural oper- ations, each giving "the meat" only, from the personal experience of a thoroughly practical man who is in daily touch with each department of the business and who has that rare quality of being able to tell others what they waut to know.

MAY 3, lOW. The Weekly Florists^ Review. 69 J A'Cfaat with the Country Retailer. It is quite a while since we had a chat with the country retailer. We know he's busy now, but we want to remind him of a few important things. Grow only the best, and grow it well. Nurserymen tell us It has been one of their best seasons; an enormous quantity of all manner of stock has been and is being sold and the small florists have been gener- ous purchasers. This looks like pros- perity and confidence in the fu- ture, but don't buy with a view of selling everything. Plant a tew fine things around your own place. Let the people see that you know what a good thing is. Needn't bother with the wee, small microscopic weeds; they belong to the botanical gardens; recommend and plant the varieties of herbaceous flowers which give most satisfaction and which will also fur- nish a succession of bloom suitable for cutting. Many of the best flower buyers live the greater part of the year in their country residences, and even it your place is a distance from theirs they are liable to see what you have if it's worth noticing, and to see beauty is to admire or buy. Therefore every country florist should have an abund- ance of flowers around his place at all times. This can be had by planting such as Irises, paeonies, rudbeckias. hollyhocks, foxgloves, tall-growmg phloxes, delphiniums, pompon chrys- anthemums, Canterbury bells, dwarf cannas, dahlias (especially the cactus or star varieties), salvias, asters, stocks, antirrhinums, cosmos, sweet peas, mignonette— the variety is end- less; we cannot make a catalogue of our paper; you ought to know the good things; we seldom see them where they should most be. Many of the very best flowers can be had at a small cost and they pay for themselves tenfold, not alone in the pleasure and brightness they in- fuse into your life, but in most cases the amount of lucre they put into your pocket. Yes, dig up that bad- looking section along the road, around your house, or along the end of your greenhouses, and make it produce a little of the best of everything from now till next winter. We would like to see more roses grown in the garden and feel sure they could be made to pay. Roses in pots or flats will sell well next Christmas, or any time during the winter. You must plant them now and grow them so all summer in order to force them into bloom in time. Try a few Ramblers, Magnas, Luizets, Jacques. Magnas will give you per- haps the best results for Christmas, but many other varieties will pay during the season. Good flowering plants sell well at other times besides Easter and Xmas, and the man who has them for sale can dispose of other stock with them. Many florists who grow geraniums, etc., for the market have their plants grown to such a high pitch by the use of plant physic that when they change hands they usually go back and give disappointing results. This method of growing plants, whilst it may be of li-iiiliiir;u'y ui' iiriiii'-ilial'- ln-m-lit im the grower, is bad and con.a- inch pots with a mass of flower, whiuh l)rightens up the show-house consid- erably. POT-BOUND ANTHrRHMS.—Man.v plants continue to flower abundantly, though they are pot-bound, if supplied With moisture and other requirements. We have found no plant do better tlian Authurium Schorzcrianum, and its varieties. We have some old plants in capital health, full of vigor, which have not been shifted for some ten or a dozen years, but each season they have flowered profu.stiy from Febru- ary until August. They have been given a stirface di-essing with bone- meal and fibei'y peat before flowering each year. Some vai'ieaes of cypri- pediums and cymbidiums have also succeeded with us under similar treat- ment. They may be watered liberally under such conditions without fear of doing damage to the roots, but neg- lect of same is most injurious. A LESSON ON AFPORDINU WATER. — The "Answers" column has recently shown that the cyclamen is proving troublesome at this season. The following notes from a recent pa- per by Wehmer suggest one cause of trouble. Plants of cyclamen were ob- served to die oft' after the leaves, and even flower stalks had fallen over and withered. Closer examination showed that this was preceded Ijy the bases of the stalks of apparently healthy leaves becoming swollen, soft and discol- ored; a few days later the leaf fell over and withered. In the diseased leaf-bases a fungus was found in act- ive growth: it was one of the Botrytis forms, many of which have l)een de- scribed and illustrated in this paper. Observation suggested that careless watering was to blame for the pres- ence of the fungus: Experiments were therefore made by pouring water into the flower pots till the space above the soil was flooded and the leaf-bases stood in water. The water gradually drained away, Init several plants so treated showed the above symptoms and became more or less diseased. Other plants watered slow- ly, so that the water passed at once into the soil, remained healthy. The explanation is that the Botrytis fun- gus is exti'emely common, especially under glass: for instance, one is al- most sure to find it on withering leaves or flowers of petunia or pelar- .goniuni. When the pots are flooded in watering, the spores are floated up and into the space inside the broad leaf- bases; there they germinate, and prob- ably pierce the skin of the leaf or flower-stalk. The fungus spreads rap- idly, and in a few days renders the leaf-base soft, so that the leaf falls over by its own weight, and lies on the soil withering. The same experi- ments were carried out on Primula sinensis with similar results. The cy- clamen and primula have both what are known as radical leaves, that is, the leaves are not borne on stems ap- pearing above ground, but rise from underground root-stocks: thus the leaf-bases are on a level with the sur- face of the :soil. Many plants w.th this habit of growth are reared in our houses; a walk around any green- house will sugges; other examples. The lesson is that with plants of th's habit (indeed with plants of any kind in pots), water should not be pourerl on faster than the soil can absorb it: there shouhl never be a pool of water in the pot. even for a few minutes; this is one of the elementary rules of watering given by every writer, yet we venture to think it is often broken. There are many reasons for this s m- ple rule other than the reason con- nected with the prevention of disease described above, but we omit these. If the soil in the pot is what it ought to be, and if watering is regularly car- ried out, there should never be any difficulty about the soil al)£orl)ing the water fast enough, even where the stock of plants is large and time pre- cious. BUFFALO. Business Conditions. Theie is no item of news this week that stands out very prominently. Everybody seems fairly busy and plant men much more so. Business has kept up very finely. Two large weddings of last week created quite a little stir. A contract one was well done by Neubeck & Myers, where "Louie" had a chance to get in some of his best strokes, and did it well. The other was a grand North street affair and of the "go as you please" order, and W. J. Palmer & Son went as they pleased and greatly pleased their patrons. I looked in at the store of the latter a few diys ago and saw a grand lot of roses and carnations, entirely their own product. When you keep a first- class store and every detail is carried out to perfection, even to a soft white paper wrapping round the box con- taining one dozen Bridesmaids, and then tied with a narrow pink ribbon, you can get, or they get, almost dou- ble the price for tlie same quality flowers that are sold in some slovenly shops. The Future. How we do grow in artistic environ- ments and attachments! At the rate we have evoluted for the past twenty- five years, what will another quarter century bring forth? Progress is in- evitable; there is no such thing as standing still, for in life there is no rest. Pictures of the future may seem ridiculous to .some, but reasonable to others Perhaps in twenty-five years our iiatrons will alight from their autos and walk over Turkish iar])ets to luxurious couches, where college- bred men or Circassian girls will take their orders. Fountains of perfumed water and goldfish sporting in the basins. Sliowers of violets will fall from the ceiling and the strains of the .softest music will float around them. The proprietor will not dreiini of touching his wares except to hand an exquisite flower to his friend and patron or pass a, compliment. His time otherwise will be largely taken up dictating verses to accomp.iny each variety of flower and paying his bills. Perhaps the greatest change will be in the delivery department. No such plebeian thing as a delivery boy on a bicycle in 1925. The delivery boys will lie attired as cupid and very probaldy fly, but the great medium for distri- bution will be by pneumatic tube, which will convey parcels quickly to stations in every part of the city. Where the automobile must be used there will be coachman and footman, neither of whom will ever stir from the box, but the footman in the rear will handle the parcels. They will wear breeches and stockings, gold lace and powdered hair, and all the lead- ing florists will have a distinctive liv- ery, which they will guard by patent rights against infringement. Mr. Sai- vin's will be green and gold; Mr. .Jhorley's maroon and yellow; Mr. Flushman's, black, with polka dots; Mr. Lift's, blue, with yellow facings; Mr. Kalmer's, grey, with cherry stripes, and so on. All this will come to pass assuredly if you will give us time, but in the meantime we are more than likely to be all swallowed up by the department stores. Various Items. Mr. Z mnierman and Mr. Scott a'e not solely employed handing out car- nations. They eich have half a score of men grading, seeding and planting on our beautful streets. It is very pleasant news to tell you that our popular wliolesale man. W. F, Kastlng, was on Monday appointed by the mayor a park commissioner. The position is entirely honorary, but it brings honor and dignity with it, and whenever there is a vacancy there is keen rivalry among our best citizens for the position.

We present herewith an engraving from a photograph of a bench of this new white carnation at the establish- ment of the originator, Mr. J. L. Dil- lon, Bloomsburg, Pa. Mr. Dillon has had the variety on- trial for the past three years and has found it a strong grower, every shoot producing a flower and with such strong stems that no staking was done the past season. It has proved an early and continuous bloomer, is pure white and fragrant, with perfect calyx, and Mr. Dillon says he has cut flow- ers as large as those of Bradt. He says it promises to be the best white car- nation ever introduced. CffiCAGO. The Market. The supply is still growing and there is a glut of the poorer grades of roses and carnations, while lilies of even first-class quality go begging for a purchaser. Prices are even easier than last week, especially on the poor grades, and the fakir is having his in- nings. Shipping trade holds up very well and but for this the market would be badly demoralized. "Dewey day" (last Tuesday) practically killed what local demand there was, and it was a very quiet day in the wholesale houses. Of course, there were a few decorations for small dinners here and there, but it didn't make up for the loss of ordi- nary demand. Even the fakir couldn't do any business on the street. The Coal Question. The coal question will be the spe- cial order of the evening at the meet- ing of the Florists' Club tomorrow (Friday) evening, Handel Hall build- ing, 40 Randolph street, at S o'clock. At this meeting some plan of action will be decided upon, and it is hoped that the result will be a material Sav- ing to every grower who takes part. By vote of the club it was decided to invite the attendance of all growers at this meeting, whether members o'.' the club or not. The subject is one that touches the pocket of every grower and there will no doubt be a large meeting and an interesting and profit- able discussion. "Variouf Items. The decoration of the Auditorium for the Dewey ball last Monday even- ing was remarkably effective. The prows of ten galleons of ancient type extended on to the floor from the walls at suitable places, and on the foremast of each was placed a verr harmoniously combined arrangement of flags. Between two of these gal- leons, placed more closely together, was erected a private box for Ad- miral Dewey and his party. This box was decorated with American Beauty roses, and the prows of the galleons were draped with smilax. Palms were placed about the walls in various ef- fective groups. Flags wei-e freely used throughout, but the drapei-y on the balconies, etc., was of soft green and white, that made an excellent foil for the- brighter colored flags. The gen- eral effect was excellent, and. though striking, was entirely free from the garishness so common where bright colored flags are freely used. The galleons were of the white staff so largely in evidence at the Worlds Fair. The designer of the decoration was Mr. James Gamble Rogers, and he is entitled to much praise. The roses, plants and smilax were supplied by Friedman. In a decoration arranged by P. J. Hauswirth for the monthly banquet of the Commercial Club last Saturday evening, Bradt carnations were the only flowers used. There were numer- ous plateaus of this carnation and loose flowers of the same were scat- tered around the candelabra, the latter 698 The Weekly Florists' Review.

The effect was very pleasing and Phil thinks it was one ot the prettiest decorations he ever arranged. The cx>nimittee complimented him warmly. He also had a dinner decoration last Monday evening for an affair connect- ed with the Dewey reception at the Auditorium, and for this he used pla- teaus of sweet peas with asparagus for green. In the asparagus he prefers the paler color noticeable in the younger fronds. The decorations for Admiral Dewey's breakfast at the Auditorium Annex on his arrival last Monday morning con- sisted merely of palms and ferns. P. J. Hauswirth banked the windows and Walter Retzer & Co. arranged groups in the room. The mantel in the suite of rooms reserved for the admiral and his wife was handsomely banked with plants and flowers also. Word from St. Louis is to the effect that the bowlers will be unable to visit Chicago until May 13. Mr. W. Hizer, Rockford, 111., was in the city last Tuesday. Mr. E. R. Tauch, foreman for Wal- ter Retzer & Co., will leave May 12 for a three months' vacation in Europe. He will visit the Paris Exposition. BALTIMORE. Personal and Trade Items. Trade for the week up to date of writing (April 30) has been moderate- ly active, the usual procession of wed- dings and mild social festivities mak- ing a fair and steady demand for cut flowers. These events, with the usual commencement requirements and per- ennial funeral necessities have kept up a moderately well distributed busi- ness. As is ever the case, a good deal of stuff, belated for Easter, has come into the market, especially callas and Harrisii lilies, and run prices down. Violets are about over. Good roses have kept steadily^ selling and carna- tions have not been much in excess of demand. Of course, with the freer supply prices relax somewhat all around. Many roses and carnations are be- ing pulled out now to give room for bedding stuff, and florists who provide this material are busy and expecting to bo more so. The weather here con- tinues cool, especially at night, and those who dread the invasion of mil- dew in their rose houses keep np light firing. The season is still behind hand and many outdoor flowers usually seen on May day will not be in evidence tomorrow. Carnations are being plant- ed out, sweet peas are generally sown, and on every side are seen evidences ot the bustle and progress ot spring work. Indeed, everyone is so busy now that items of news are scarce and difficult to find. The handsome palms and other fine foliage plants which have been in the collection of Mr. Wm. W. Spence for many years, and lately under the charge of .lohn Donn. it is reported have been purchased in a block lot by Dr. Douglas H. Thomas, president ot one of the largest banks here, who will erect for their accommodation a conservatory at his own residence. At the Gardeners' Club meeting Mr. George O. Brown, who is a newspaper man. with a great fondness for flori- culture, read a paper which was ex- ceedingly well received by the mem- bers, who hope to see it published in full. He dealt with florists and gar- deners as the ministers to refined tastes and quoted from the poets to show the influence for good which their occupation and labors exerted. The business of the retail florist is one which, it is assumed with reason, requires some training or apprentice- ship, that it may be carried on profit- ably, but occasionally an instance oc- curs when a person without training lor it, and experienced only in an en- tirely different occupation, makes it a success. In these cases the traditions of the trade are neglected, but with- out seeming to lessen the returns. An illustration Is found here in the case of Mr. J. A. Ritter, who for many years carried on a tonsorial establish- ment on one of the main thorough- fares uptown. In some way he got into keeping a few violets for sale. From this beginning his customers be- gan to inquire for other flowers, and in a year or so he used a room adjoin- ing his barber-shop for the sale of plants. The venture grew, and now he has a neat store room on Charles street and is doing a thriving busi- ness, having associated his son with him. He is fortunate in having little competition, and in being located in a very desirable residential part of the city, where a good class of purchasers abounds. He is a judge of flowers, knows just what will please his cus- tomers, is enterprising and accommo- dating, and will build up doubtless a fine business. His Easter trade was phenomenal. RIX. ST. LOUIS. The Market. The cut flower trade the past week was fairly good and all kinds of flow- ers were plentiful. The glut is on good and strong. Stock comes in by the wagon load and there is no possi- bility of selling it all at any price. The street fakirs are having great times now as to who can sell the cheapest and are crowding the down- town street corners with all kinds ot good stock. It's very hard to quote prices of late, as you can buy at your own price. Every grower seems to be in full crop just now and is sending in a fine quality of stock. Maids, Brides. Perles and Meteors, the standard varieties, are selling for $5 for first grade, and from that down to $1 per 100. Some very good stock was bought at the lat- ter price. Fancy Beauties are not so pTentiful, but enough of them are in just now. They bring $2.50 to $3 per dozen. A great lot of short-stemmed ones come in, which sell for $1 per 100 up, and are mostly sold to the street fakirs, as the store men have little use for them. Carnations the past week have been a great glut, and are at this writing. Nevertheless some fine Enquirer from Witterstaetter brought ft! per 100. and were worth every cent of it. The old varieties, such as Scott, Daybreak, Portia and all white, went at ?1, and much cheap- er in 1,000 lots. Lilacs from the South made their appearance early in the week and sold at ?5 per 100 sprays; later in the week $3 was asked. Of Harrisii we have more than enough, and lots of them are going to waste; ?6 per 100 is the price asked in dozen lots and $4 in 100 lots. Callas about the same, with plenty of them. Other bulb stock is about cut out and very little of it is coming in now. Tulips are bringing $1 per 100. Sweet peas bring from 25 cents to ?1 per 100, and are becoming very plentiful. Violets are about gone and very few can be seen. Smilax is also plentiful and seems to sell well. The demand for flowers at funerals seems to be on the increase, as nearly all the florists reported plenty of work in that line the past week, and the man with a big job was in his glory, as the prices on stock were low and he bought at his own figure. 'Various Items. Our visitor last week was Mr. Fore- man, ot Ijouisiana, Mo. Mr. Foreman reports that he will build a few new houses this summer. The Junior Florists' Bowling Club have given up rolling for the summer, but by fall they wiii be at it again. The Florists' Club meeting on next Thursday afternoon. May 10, will be a big one and all members are requested to be present. President Amniann says it will be a personal favor to him if they would attend. We expect to have a big show of miscellaneous flowers on exhibition; also interesting arguments on rose grafting. A box of fine cigars will also help a little. So if you don t want to miss a good time, come. Three o'clock is the time for opening the meeting and it's held at the same old place, so you can't miss it. We are pleased to learn, through the Review, that our old friend and club member, Walter Retzer, has branched out for himself in Chicago. We all wish you well, Walter, in your new venture. . The Florists' Bowling Club have been doing but very little rolling of late, owing to sickness and business, and it has been decided that we would not he able to do business with the MAY 3, 1900. The Weekly Florists* Review. 699 The lite John Breitmeyer. Chicago boys before May 13. We no- ticed some of their big scores in the Review and we cannot afford to go without some little practice. The scores of the last rolling of the Chi- cago boys would win from any team, but they are not always that good in regular match games.

The bowling club has too many members on the sick list and others too busy with spring work to do much rolling, and only two of its cripples showed that they were still able to roll a few good games.

Easter trade in San Francisco was very good this year. All kinds of stock was plentiful, with the exception of Harrisii. Although some of our re- tailers had all the Easter lilies they could handle, others found themselves short about midday, and found much trouble in filling their orders. How- ever, it was a first-class Easter with most of our florists. A few retailers, new in the business, did not fare so well as the older firms; that must be expected; but as each year flies past they will find themselves on a better footing. Azaleas sold above any other plant. Crimson Ramblers came next. Potted Harrisii went rather slowly; custom- ers seemed to prefer them in a cut state. Since Easter trade has been very good, and looks likely to continue so. A number of weddings have taken place this week among the upper class and helped to keep our fiorists on the move in decorations, cut flower sales and collecting bills for same. Outside roses are now at their best and some fine Jacks, Ulrich Bruuners and Cecil Brunners can be seen in market. Inside roses of all kinds are plentiful and of good quality. Carna- tions are also in abundance and good quality. Prices: American Beauties, $1.50 to $2.50; Brides. Bridesmaids, Meteors, Testouts, 35 to 50 cents; Perles, Sie- brecht, 35 cents; Kaiserins, 40 to 50 cents; Cecil Brunners, 3 and 6 dozen for 25 cents; Harrisii, ?1.50 to $2.50; tulips, 50 cents per dozen; iris, 35 cents per dozen; carnations, Hobart $1, Crocker 75 cents, Bradbury 35, 50 and 75 cents, Bradt, Nugget, 35 cents. Flora Hill 25 to 50 cents, Scott 20 cents, Portia 10 cents. Various Notes. Mr. .loliii .JacU has given up his posi- tion at the Oakland race track. His plans for the future are unknown; possibly may start in as a grower for the San Francisco market. It's a daughter this time— a Queen yet a Jack. The new addition to the family came on Good Friday. Mr. Jack is happy. Congratulations. Sievers & Borland are out with a new wagon this week. It's a dandy. As an advertisement it is all right, but Frisco's streets hardly suit a aoriS^s wagon; too many cobbles and hiils that only a goat could dim!) The street cars are best for cut flower de- livering in San Francisco. Stevenson's decoration at the Empo- rium was made up with four carloads .of palms, various kinds, 12 to 20 feet in height; 5.000 calla lilies, 3,000 Har- risii, and 4,000 Woodwardia ferns. Jones, on Sutter street, had a deco- ration at the Palace Hotel last week. Papa Gontier roses and ferns only were used. Charles Stepenback, Polk street, ■The American Florist," and the only one in San Francisco, reports a very good Easter business. E. Gill, 548 Fourteenth street, Oak- land, opened up for business on April 19. The new store is fitted in grand style and with the latest improve- ments in electricity that shower their rays of light on one of the finest dis- plays of cut flowers and plants to be seen in town. Mr. Gill says the others will have to hustle if they want to get ahead of him. J. N. JOHN BREITMEYER. We present herewith an excellent portrait of the late John Breitmeyer, of Detroit, Mich., whose death was re- corded in our last issue. Mr. Breitmeyer was one of the pio- neers in the trade in this country and he kept step with the marvelous prog- ress made during his long life. He was a type of the earnest and pro- gressive business man who tempers his enterprise with wise conservatism, and he amassed a considerable for- tune. For some years he had taken but little active part in the large business he founded, having several able sons who were fully competent to relieve him. His death will therefore make little if any change in the conduct of the business. IF YOU have not already done so, please send us an accurate list of those in the trade that receive their mall at your postottice, and greatly oblige the publishers. 700 The Weekly Florists^ Review.

Dreer, 7I4 chestnut st., Philadelphia, pa. ST. PAUL. Ideal weather assisted in making Easter trade the very best on record, both in the amount of sales and in the quality of stock grown and handled. Everything in the way of a plant in bloom sold well, while cut flowers were also in good demand. The sup- ply of plants was hardly adequate to the demand and everyone seems to have sold out clean by Sunday noon. lyilies sold readily at 25 cents per bloom. Azaleas were in good demand at from $1.50 to $10 each, the most popular variety being Mme. Vander- cruysen. Hydrangeas in all sizes sold very readily at prices ranging from ?1 to $8 each at retail. Choice Brunner roses went like frost on a hot June day; in fact, roses in bloom always sell well on such occasions. Crimson Ramblers in full bloom met with ready sales. Spireas were in good de- mand and retailed at 50 cents to fl each. Smaller plants, like hyacinths, tulips, daffodils, etc., in pots and pans, sold fairly well. In cut flowers the most noticeable shortage was in carnations. Hoses were fairly abundant, though more good stock could have been used. Vio- lets were vei-y plentiful and in great demand. Bulbous stock was fairly plentiful and sold readily. In fact, there was nothing that did not sell well in plant or cut blossom. Retail prices ranged about as fol- lows: Roses, ?2 to $2.50 per dozen; carnations, common 75 cents to $1, fancy |1.50; violets, 50 cents per bunch.' Nothing new or striking was seen and the same class of plants that sold well a dozen years ago were in good demand this season. Deliveries were made in open wagons, without protec- tion, and complaints were very few. Shipping trade seems to have beaten all re.cords. Several thousand cut lilies were shipped to Milwaukee and Chicago. As usual, some plants were too late for Easter; quite a good many lilies and Rambler roses being among the number. The growers seemed to be fooled as much by a late Easter as by an early one. Trade has been very good of late in all lines; spring has come on with a rush, trees are in full leaf, and every body and everything full of life and happiness. Owing to the lateness of Easter bedding plants were somewhat neglected and kept back; but the bright weather since has assisted in bringing them along in nice shape, so that they will b.e ready when the soil is ready for them. There seems to be an abundance of good bedding stock, and indications would point to a good demand for it. One of our leading firms is offering cash prizes for the best display ot" sweet peas grown from their seed. This is stimulating a love for the beautiful. A local paper is also offer- ing a cash prize for the most beautiful flower garden; all of which stimulates trade. L. L. May & Co. report a very suc- cessful season in the seed trade, both wholesale and retail. They have com- menced active operations at their farm, planting sixty acres to nursery stock and small fruits and a large acreage for onion seed, onion sets, etc., besides extensive trial grounds.

The red pigment of several kinds of t>erries was formerly regarded as a blue pigment reddened by acid. Ber- zelius, in 1837, found this was not so with some berries and leaves he exam- ined. Julius Wiesner, in 1802 and 1872, after a series of experiments, came to a conclusion contrary to Berzelius, that the original and actual color of an- throcyan was blue, not red. To settle the dispute P. Q. Keegan (Nature) made a research this year, and concludes that there are different stages in the development of the floral pigment. In the lower stages the nat- ural color is red, whatever the chromo- gen may be, and so far Berzelius was right. In the higher stages, however, the natural color of anthrocyan is blue, or, at least, with some chromogens be- comea capable of forming blue com- pounds or lakes with alkalis and cer- tain metallic salts. This investigation also shows that chromogenes exist which, unless under very exceptional conditions and circumstances, are in- capable of producing blue pigment, and these in all stages naturally develop into a red, the brilliancy of which, when contrasted with that of a blue accidentally obtained in an allied spe- cies, attests its real, original and proper character. RICHMOND, IND.— On April 24 the Quaker City Machine Co., makers of the Challenge ventilating apparatus, admitted a new partner in the person of the eldest son of Mr. and Mrs. J. A. Evans.

They all sold out; sold out of house and home at 25 per cent advance on last year's prices. The only trouble was, had not enough stock. The writer found John Macrae puf- fing a weed in his new office, which is fixed up in style, showing there're no flies on Mack. John has made great improvements in his place the past year and the boys, including the writer, wish him good luck. Rennie & Pind are going right ahead in their large store on Washington and Eddy streets. I hear some talk of Rennie inviting the boys down to do the highland fling. At the meeting of the Florists' and Gardeners' Club, held on the 12th, the subject of delinquent members was taken up, and, unfortunately, some weeding out was the result, but I am happy to say all the full-blooded .^tock is left, and the president says the tiub shall go ahead.

The weather is fine, carnations are in full crop and of exceptionally fine quality, Flora Hill coming with a stem that ought to be hers all winter, then Flora would be the white, as she is now better than White Cloud. A start is being made to get the carna- tion crop planted, the weather bo;ng fine for that purpose. Business has cropped off considerably, althougli there is little, if any, good stock going to waste. Cheap goods don't seem to be wanted. Carnations run from 25 to 50 cents per dozen; roses, ?1 to $1.50 per dozen; lilies, $1.50. Plant sales are slow and a sort of a lull on hand, giving us a chance to make am- ple preparations for Decoration day trade. Ben Pohlmann. foreman for Crabb & Hunter, has gone into partnership with F. Hills, who furnishes the means, and they will build a large range of glass at East Grand Rapids and grow wholesale cut flowers only. And Crabb & Hunter are looking for a foreman.

A magnilbent hy- brid resulting from a cross of ItallaxMad. Crozy. The color Is a rich shade of orange scarlet overlaid with gold, a superb coloring which in open sunlight Is simply dazzling. The Foi-m is an Ideal ot the Crozy type ot bloom, the petals being very broad and over- lapping, measuring 'i'/i to 3 inches wide, while the individual flowers are from 0 to 7 inches across. The Texture ot the flowers is all that could be desired; they partake ot the nature ot the pollen parent or Crozy race in this respect, and withstand our hottest summer suns without wilting. The foliage Is a bright glossy green, equal to a Musa In size and sub- stance and forms a beautiful toll to the gi- gantic trusses ot bloom. The height ot the plant Is 6 to 7 feet, the growth Is luxuriant to a degree, but very compact; the massive foli- age giant trusses, and enormous Individual flower give the plant a noble tropical appear- ance. It is the only Canna of its kind in ex- istence, and absolutely surpasses all others; Its intrinsic value will make It a leading standard sort for years to come.

Since my notes on Easter trade there has been no great business activity. I'^lower buyers are evidently slow in replenishing their depleted pocket- books. Demand for funeral stock fair- ly good. The tjuality of flowers has improved in the past two weeks, espe- cially carnations. This popular fluWcr r.ia.v now be seen on thirty-inch stems, perfect blooms, a great satisfaction to the carnation enthvisiasts. We are having ideal spring weather, with plenty of warm April showers. Trees and shrubbery have almost their full leaf and vegetation seems three weeks earlier than last year. The time seems opportune for a few remarks descriptive of the improve- ments being made in our parks and other out-door places of recreation. I'^airmount Park, of ITiO acres, situ- ;'.ted two miles east of the cit.v limits, is the best adapted for sports of all kinds, and is equipped with a race track, golf links, bowling alleys, a lake for bathing, boating and lisbing. and a theater for summer entertainments. The landscape is rolling and some very artistic effects were seen there last year in summer bedding. Swope's Park, also outside the city limits, comprises an area of 1,300 acres. Although comparatively new. work is being pushed rapidly, and the park is now open to the public. An intramural railway will traverse the grounds, conveying passengers to points of interest. Extensive improvements are being made in our many miles of boule- vards, for which Kansas City is be- i-oming noted. Several large vacant spots adjoining the driveways will be beautified and added to the park sys- tem. Our beautiful "Paseo," 200 yards wide, when completed will extend north and south through the residence portion of the city for a distance of three miles. One mile has already been laid out and nearly finished. Starting from the north, we pass through the pergola of Grecian archi- tecture by the site of the Spanish cannon captured in the late war and reach the sunken garden, now ablaze with tulips in all their gorgeousness. The colors are most beautifully Ijlend- ed and attract the admiration of thou- sands of visitors. Late in May these tulips will be replaced with the regu- lar summer bedding, the <-ontract for this work having been let to Albert Barbe and Samuel Murray. A magnilicent terraced fountain ''> feet wide, modeled after the celebrated fountain in Lyons. France, stands on the Paseo near Fifteenth street. 11 throws a stream 2-5 feet in the air. the overflow feeding an ornamental lake near by. Mr. George Kessler. a tliorough land- siape gardener and civil engineer, has charge of the entire park system. We are rapidly becoming a convention Hardy Hybrid Clematis We offer strong two-year-old plants of all the leading varieties, such as JACKMANI, HENRYI, DUCHESS OF EDINBURGH, STANDISHI, Mme.

It is on the subject of Colorado, fas- cinatingly written by .James \V. Steele, a descriptive writer of great force. The book is lavishly illustrated by engrav- ings of a high order, and the printer's art has not been handicapped by an ettort to save expense. To anyone in- terested in the grandeur of Colorado scenery and particularly to one con- templating a visit to the country de- scribed, the book will be inilispensa- ble.

GEO. M. KELLOGG. Pleasant Hill, Mo. Mr. Scott's superb work, "The Florists' Manual," was Indeed worth waiting for. When compared with the amount of practical information it con- tains, the selling price, $5.00, seems a mere bagatelle. Oakland, Md. H. WEBER & SONS. It Is the best book of the kind ever published. There is more in It than In any other book I have ever seen. I am delighted with it. Chicago. JOHN THORPE. The copy of the "Florists' Manual" was duly received. I am very well pleased with same. The more I read It the better satisfied I am with It, and there are one or two articles alone In It that are each worth all you ask for the book, for everything Is made so plain and all details are right to the point. I trust you may have a good and ready sale for the same. M. S. WORDEN. North Adams, Mass. The only fault to be found with It is when you get reading It the mid- night oil is liable to run low and you have to go on to gas or reluctantly break oft, either going to bed or first taking a look over the houses to see If the temperature tallies with the Manual. GEO. S. OSBORN. Hartford, Conn. We are In receipt of "The Florists' Manual" by Mr. Scott and may say it Is the right book for the florist, pub- lished at the right time. It Is what we all need. BOBBINK & ATKINS. Rutherford, N. J. Am much pleased with the Manual. It Is just what I have been looking for. Something that we can under- stand, and enjoy reading. M. NAUMAN. Etna, Pa. I am very much pleased with the Manual. It Is just what we have need- ed for a long time. N. ZWEIFEL. Milwaukee, Wis. It la certainly a neat and handsome book and does you credit. BENJAMIN HAMMOND. Flshklll-on-Hudson, N. Y. It Is a work of art and should be In the hands of all live florists. Its use- ful and instructive contents can not fall to be a beneflt to all in the trade. C. C. POLLWORTH Co. Milwaukee, Wis. The book Is written for the work- ing gardener, and Mr. Scott's reputa- tion is so well secured that he will And among his gardening friends a host of genuine admirers. As a writer on practical gardening subjects, be Is a recognized authority. • • • Mr. Scott has long been an employer and knows what information young gar- deners, or those with little experience, need, and he has his whole subject so perfectly at command that he can give the most desirable and essential Information in the clearest language and with satisfactory brevity. The book is a distinct and Important gain to the practical garden literature of this country, and it should be in the hands of every gardener, and everyone else engaged or Interested in orna- mental horticulture. The price of the book is $5, which seems somewhat high, but for useful Information it Is worth every cent of It. — Vlck's Maga- zine. Am well pleased with the Manual. It is a practical, everyday helper, con- cise and to the point. W. A. KENNEDY. Milwaukee, Wis. Am very much pleased with the book; it Is very handy for reference. Macomb, 111. F. E. BONHAM. Unlike so many of our books, It has the very flavor and essence of ac- tual experience. L. H. BAILEY. Ithaca, N. Y. Detroit, Mich., January 6, 1900.— Mr. Wm. Scott, Buffalo, N. Y. Dear Sir: The Commissioners of Parks and Bou- levards some time since directed that a library be started of such books as deal with subjects pertaining to park work, and to that end, an order has been given for a number of books, among which Is your "The Florists' Manual." After reading this book carefully, I am greatly pleased, and wish to con- gratulate you on the practical manner with which you have treated the sub- ject. This book is placed where it will be accessible to all of our greenhouse em- ployes, where this board expects to reap a reward many times the cost o* the book. Respectfully yours, COMMISSIONERS OF PARKS AND BOULEVARDS, R. J. CORYELL, Gen'l Sup't. I am more than pleased with The Florists' Manual. OTT BROWN. Cape May City, N. J. Manual to hand. Am well satisfied that it is the best work of its kind ever published. JAS. HARTSHORNE. Jollet, 111. I am greatly pleased with the Man- ual. C. J. REARDON. Lake Geneva, Wis. We find the book very useful as a reference In answering the many ques- tions about plants that we receive al- most every day. Philadelphia. JOS. KIFT & SON. Enclosed find $5.00 in payment for the copy of the Florists' Manual. No progressive florist, old or young, can afford to be without the Florists' Man- nual. The old florist needs It, for ref- erence, to aid a defective memory, and the young florist wants it as a guide in this progressive era of the florist's business. J. T. TEMPLE. Davenport, la. THE FLORISTS' lUANlAL I T I Rv WM. .< • •• By >\M. SCOTT D IS A BOOK of 224 large pages (same size as those of the Florists' Review) and contains about 200 articles on commercial plants and cultural oper- ations, each giving " the meat " only, from the personal experience of a thoroughly practical man who is in daily touch with each department of the business and who has that rare quality of being able to tell others what thfy waut to kuow. The articles are arranged alphabetically, like those in an encyclopaedia, and in an instant one can turn to the subject upon which light is desired at the moment. The book is illustrated by over 200 fine half- tone engravings. It is A COMPLETE REFERENCE BOOK FOR COMMERCIAL FLORISTS and is a whole library on practical cominercial floriculture in one volume.

This improve- ment was followed in 1846 by M. Schmitt, of Lyons, who produced sev- eral fine varieties that remained in cultivation a number of years. M. Alphonse Alegatiere was the next horticulturist to aid in the ma- terial development of this now race of carnations, and he succeeded, by skillful crossing, in obtaining fine varieties with stiff stems. In 1800 the number of these varieties was largely increased and this class re- ceived the name of tree carnations: but in America they were generally of the firm of Dailledouze & Zeller. still lives in Flatbush, a hale and hearty gentleman upward of eighty years of age, and it has been my pleasure to hear Mr. Zeller frequently declare that he was more than proud to have been one of the first who brought the carnation to this country. Mr. Zeller's partner. Mr. .John Daille- douze. has long since passed away, but has left worthy sons who have suc- ceeded to and preserved their father'^; love for the carnation. The work of improving the Ameri- can carnation has been taken up and carried on successfully by such men as the late Charles T. Starr and W. R. Shelmire, of Avondalo, Pa.; Wm. Swayne. of Kennett Square, Pa.; Jos. Tailby, of Wellesley, and Sewall Fisher, of Framingham. Mass.; Fred Dorner. of La Fayette, Ind.; R. Wit- terstaetter, of Cincinnati. O.; Peter Fisher, of Ellis, Mass.; the Daille- douze Bros., of Flatbush, L. I., and many others whose names are not now at my command. The foregoing historical treatment of the carnation I have gathered largely from the Cyclopedia of Amer- ican Floriculture recently published by L. H. Bailey of Cornell Univer- sity. To-day it is my purpose to give you an illustration of the development of the carnation from the original flve- petaled bloom to the 4-inch flower of the present date. AVe find from the ancient descriptions that the wild carnation was a fivt-petaled flower about one inch in diameter, and that it was commonly of a flesh or laven- der color. Fortunately, among hy- brid seedlings of to-day frequent re- versions furnish us with flowers that are almost identical with the original type as it existed 2,000 years ago. save perhaps in the matter of color. In Fig. 1 we have the original flve- petaled flower, but the color is of a deep crimson. In Fig. 2 we have the first step toward the improvement of the flower, this being the addition of a single petal, produciag a six-petaled bloom. The next step is shown in No. 3. where three or four small. short petals have been added to the center of the bloom. producing a semi-double flower. In the next step. No. 4. still more petals have been added, and we now have a fairly double flower. The fourth step was made by adding still more petals, making a full double flower, as shown in figure .5. But you will notice that in all of these the relaj;ive size of the liloom remains the same, namely, about one inch in diameter. After the carnation hybridizer had succeeded in producing the double l)loom shown in figure 5. his next aim was to increase the size of the bloom, improve its strength, as well as to elongate the stem, and to im- prove and diversify the shades of color. This has all been so faithfully done by our American hybridizers that you now have before you these magnificent blooms measuring from three to four inches in diameter, with perfect calyces, and supported upon stiff stems two feet or more in length, some of them being equal in 'orni to those produced by the artificial man- ipulation of the Engl'Sh dresser, em- bracing almost every tint of colo: known in flowers, save that of blue, and the approach toward this latter color is shown in va.ying shades ef purple; several California varieties have been introduced in a ('istinc' shade of mauve. The study of this plate is decid- edly interesting, as it shows the com- parative difference between the car- nation as we know it to-day and the original flower that aroused the sen- timent and admiration of the ancient Greeks and Romans. This comparison is accentuated when we tliroiv ;.'pou tlie screen Governor Roosevelt, a seed ling four inches in diameter, as the photographs from which these slides MAY 10, 1900. The Weekly Florists* Review. 727 were made were taken of the same relative size. We will also find in this liunch of seeiiling.s lioforc us a num- l)er of these single petaled blooms. Possibly a brief description of the process of hybridizing may be of in- terest. You will see projecting above the flower two horn-like growths. 'These are the pistils, or female or- gans of the flower. Where the petals and pistils have been removed, you will notice the anthers, which con- tain the pollen. In hybridizing, this pollen is removed from one flower and spread upon the pistils of the flower which we wish to bear the seed. This is done by tweezers or a camel's- hair lirush. and in some instances by simply taking the flower and scatter- ing the pollen over the pistils. When the flower has commenced to wither and the petpJs are closing to- gether, it is an indication that fer- tilization has taken place, and it will be seen that the ovary or seed pod is commencing to enlarge. After fer- tilization has taken place this pod continues its growth for four or five weeks and usually ripens its seed within six or eight weeks after the date of fertilization. Seed ripening, however, takes place much more rap- idly in April, May and .June than during the winter months. After the seeds are ripened they are carefully sown and treated the same as the Fig. 6. Fip. 7, Weal White Seedling. seeds of any choice greenhouse plant. In a week or ten days after germ- ination the root system has i cached considerable proportions and Lhe nrst true leaves are beginning to form. When the seedlings reach this stage they are taken from the seed lieds and pricked off into flats, where they remain three or four weeks .and are then potted up in small pots, from which they are planied in the open ground about the first to the tenth of May. where they cc-me into 'iloom during the months of August and September, at which time the plants bearing promising flowers are lifted and planted on the greenhouse benches, and thereafter treated the same as in ordinary carnation culture. While this growing of seedling car- nations is an intensely interesting work, and one well worthy the care- ful attention requisite to obtain ma- terial results, it is not only tedious but expensive, and the seedling grow- er who produces a distinct advance upon the existing type of carnation is well worthy the plaudits of his fellow carnation men and richly de- serves the praise of all those who are interested in or imliued with the love of flowers. In figures t'l and 7 we have a snow white seedling which for beauty of form and purity of color was un.sur- passed. but, unfortunately, it was not sufliciently free in blooming lo war- rant its commercial introduction. In the front view of the flower the petals are not crowded, but there are suffi- cient of them to give the effect of n 728 The Weekly Florists' Review. MAY 10. 1900. well formed, shapely bloom, and in the side view of the flower you will note that the guard petals are broad and stand out flat from the calyx without recurving, while the center of the flower is well built up and the calyx and stem are proportionately strong. In figures 8 and 9 we have Gov- ernor Roosevelt, a seedling of 1897, which is particularly distinguished by its symmetrical form, large size, splendid calyx and excellent rtem. This variety is possibly the most ad- vanced step in the development of the the secondary flowers might have de- veloped additional pistils. The flower was nearly four inches in diameter, and is the most remarkable freak that I have seen among carnation seed- lings, but. unfortunately, we canuot proceed further in hybridizing with this variety, as it produces neither seeds nor pollen. I am asked sometimes why carna- tions purchased from the stores fre- quently keep but a few days, and I am ofttimes asked for instructions as to how to care for carnation blooms. In my opinion, the reason for carna- Fig. 8. Carnation Gov. Roosevelt. carnation yet achieved. The flowers reach 3%, even four inches in diam- eter, with stems from 2 to 3 feet in length. In figures 10 and 11 we have quite a new departure in carnation seed- lings. This is what we may term an anemone-flowered carnation. You will notice that this flower is com- posed of a single row of broad guard petals that stand out well from the calyx. Around this is a thick, bunchy wreath of fine, feathery petals, the same as seen in the anemone- flowered chrysanthemum. In the cen- ter of this bloom are six miniature flowers, the largest of the secondary flowers being surrounded by the five smaller. This flower also lias four pistils instead of two, and probably if it had been left to develop soine Qf nations not keeping after they have passed through the commission houses and stores arises from the va- riety of improper treatment which they receive. I have many times seen dealers take carnations from the bos as they arrive and plunge the stems immediately into ice cold water and set the flowers in a cold ice box. 1 think that this alternate chilling ,ind heating of flowers, such as plunging the stems in ice water and chilling the flowers, and then placing them in highly heated dry rooms, is the rea- son for the premature withering away of the carnation flowers. You will understand that a flower immediately after being severed from the plant is in a delicate condition. We all know that if we subject our plants in the greenhoiises to tjiege sudden changes in temperature, .such as chill- ing them and again overheating them, the plants eventually fade away and die. This is especially the case with a member of the plant that has been sev- ered, such as the cut flowers. The treatment that I would recom- mend in order to keep carnations as long as possible is to plunge the stems in water from which the chill has been taken, so that it feels just slightly warm to the hand. Then place the vase of flowers in a room not colder than 45 to 50 degrees Fahrenheit and allow the flowers and water to cool down with the room. Treated in this way we keep carnations from two to three weeks, and in some instances have kept some varieties four and five weeks. It the blooms are kept in a room ranging at from 40 to 50 degrees during the night time, they may be brought into the living room where the temperature is quite liigh during the day time, and returned to the cool room each night without serious in- jury. Treated this way. carnation blooms should last from 7 to 12 days and even longer. I have found an unoccupied bedroom on the north side of a house in whicli there was no direct heat, or at least very little heat, the temperature rang- ing from 45 to 55 degrees, an excellant place in which to keep carnation blooms. It is in this kind of a room that we are able to keep the carnations from two to three weeks, and even longer, as I have before said. After listening to this technical de- scription of the advanced improvement in carnation culture, a few statistics concerning the magnit.ide of the busi- ness, the value of the product sold, the capital invested ami the persons em- ployed, may not come amiss. It is im- possible at the present time to make correct statements regarding vhe amount of capital employed, as we have as yet no accurate statistics. From a rough computation I am in- clined to think that there is perhaps two millions of dollars invested in carnation growing in the United States today and that there are probably em- ployed in the production of carnation flowers something like 5,000, possibly more, people. These employes receive wages ranging from $35 to $100 per month, the average wages probably being $45 per month. It is still more difficult to arrive at the value of the product produced, but basing our estimate upon the retail prices, the probable value of blooms and plants sold should be from three to four times the capital invested. There are about two ami one-half mil- lions of young carnation plants and rooted cuttings sold each year, and florists produce an equal amount which they themselves use for grow- ing and which are not sold; so that the entire production of rooted cuttings and young carnation plants will Hp- I)roximate five millions per annum. Of these plants, at least four-fifths are grown under glass during the winter time for cut flower purposes, some .VI A V )!'. I^iui'. The Weekly Florists' Review. 729 Fig. 9. Carnation Gov. Roosevelt. three to four million plants per annum being used for this purpose. Assuming that they produce an annual average of twenty flowers to the plant, woald give sixty millions of blooms produced upon the American continent ?ach year. What becomes of this enormous number of flowers is somewhat of a mystery. They are put lo innumerable uses. The carnation is a flower that awakens the love of almost every per- son, and as the average carnation blooms are sold at much more reason- able prices than many other flowers, they come within reach of a larger class of people than do roses and orchids: consequently the consumption is larger. There is no use to which flowers njay be put for which the carnation is not fitted. It lends itself to almost every scheme of decoration. Its deli- cious, clean, pungent, aromatic frag- rance admits it to almost every sick room; it is unsurpassed for dinner or center table decorations; it is univer- sally used in the making up of set pieces; it is also one of the best flow- ers for boutonnieres that the florist has at his command; and finally, its wide range of pleasing colors, its last- ing qualities and fresh, rich, clove fragrance combine to make it one of the most popular, as well as one of the most sought for and profitable of flor- ists flowers. BALTIMORE. Personal and Trade Item'. The influence of the advent of lilacs and other hardy flowers is being felt on the market and blooms from the glass houses are less in demand and lower in price, only good stuff keep- ing fairly up to the expectations of growers. First-class roses continue in fail- request and will go off at remu- nerative figures, but the bulk of the mediocre material is away down, as usual at this season. Up to this date. May 7, the supply of carnations is ample for all calls, and prices droop off slightly. For the past week there have been numerous com- mencemenis of medical, dental and other colleges, making a distributive demand. The expected sale in a bulk lot of the plants of Mr. W. W. Spence was not consummated, and they will be sold at public auction on the 9th. Johu Donn. who has had them in charge for seveial years, will, as we understand, go again into trade, and is now look- ing around to locate himself suitably. Mrs. Amelia Schuler. a Baltimore florist, doing a fine business and with an exceptionally good class of custom- ers, is much gratified, as is natural, at the award to her son, Hans Schuler, who is well known to the trade here, of the scholarship in Paris of the Rine- hart .School of Sculjtture, the value of tile same being $1,000. Mr. Schuler is now studying his art in Paris, where he has already made marked progress and received several awards of prizes, which jjoint to his achieving a prob- ably \se double cherry ;i very taking thing, and of fine lilacs, like the making of books, there is no end. Indeed, were one to attempt to merely catalogue the lovely and attrac- tive things to be found on the well- stocked twenty - seven acres of this genial and devoted liorticulturist, it would be a Herculean task, which will not be attempted by RIX. Heat and Shade. We find from now till about the 20th of this month to be our most crowded time, and every inch must be made use of. Cold-frames help very much and should be used as largely as possible, for with all the hardier bedding plants, such as ger- aniums, you can give them the full sun if plunged in some material and on fine days remove the sash, which hardens them for their future use. Ten years ago we used to make the mistake of shading our houses, per- haps all of them, about the end of April, and then for economy's sake letting the fires go out. This, to coleus, cannas, acalyphas, and other tropical plants that you have been previously growing in a brisk heat, is murder. They will just stand still, if not even go back. Get all such plants in houses that you don't need to shade for anything and make up your mind to fire till the end of this month. More favored con- ditions may exist in some localities, but here it is necessary. Last night, May 5, we had a decided frost. Geraniums, petunias, ageratums and ihe colder blooded plants will do without fire if the glass is unshaded and you make allowance for the ab- sence of heat by more careful water- ing. Chrysanthemums. Chrysanthemums grow fast now, and it is a good time to put in big batches of cuttings. We never seem to have too many. Although the sand in your propagating bed is getting cooler every day and less conducive to quick rooting, you can overcome that by giving an abundance of water. Twice a day a heavy watering is not too much and never let them wilt, either from sunshine or want of water. You must attend to these things, or in .June when the benches are empty you will have to buy. Don't think for a moment that chrysanthemums are going out of fashion. The great big "ponderosa Paderewski" type at $9.00 per dozen may be, but $2 and ?3 a dozen flow- ers are as essential to us in the fall as the roses and carnations, and ihey just suit the plant men near the cities who can fill up again with lilies, aza- leas, etc. Cyclamen. It is just about now that the most beautiful of our winter flowering plants, the cyclamen, gets neglected. If they are in 3% or 4-inch pots and plunged in a mild hotbed, then they have a line place, providing they get no neglect, but there are many ways in which they can be neglected just now. and for another month I would prefer to keep them on a light bench in a house where you will keep a fire for the next 30 days, and in addi- tion to regular fumigating, scatter tobacco stems between the pots. We have never had our cyclamen grow so freely and robust as this year, and from one particular cause, which has taught us a lesson. Instead of putting them in 2-inch pots from the seed pans, we planted them in flats two inches apart. They have grown as they never would grow in pots and needed a 3 - inch when potted. Now tliey are in a 4-inch. The lesson was that in the bulk of soil contained in the flat there was not the drying out and starvation that would be liable to occur in a tiny pot, and shows they must grow right along; once checked by severe dryness, they are seriously hurt. The soil was 40 per cent loam, the sam.e of leaf mould, and 20 per cent rotten manure. The finest cyclamen grown here or in Europe are grown through the summer in hotbeds, but they are not necessary to grow a fine plant, and a plant IS inches across, well flowered, will suit your trade more often than the prize-taking 30- inch i)lant. Primroses. It is now time to sow the Chinese l)rimula as well as P. obconica and Forbesii. None of these are heat- loving plants, so after the plants are up coolness is rather the object to be sought. We find a bench in a shaded house does them very well in the summer months, but they must have plenty of fresh air. P. obconica has proved to be one of the best plants we have, not only as a pot plant but for cutting. While a cold- frame is a splendid place for the pri- mulas during the summer, we have got along very well in a house where there was an abundance of air and very little shade. There are some great improvements in the obconica of late and you should get the best seed procurable. Boston Ferns. There seems to be no let-up to the popularity and usefulness of the Boston fern, "N. e. Bostoniensis." and after New Y'ear's it was Im- possible to buy medium sized plants. A plant that fills a 5 or 6-inch pot is in greatest demand. .\11 the young plants you can get to- gether should be planted out on a bench as soon as you have the room. If you don't have them, buy them now in 3-inch pots. Four or five inches of soil is enough, one-half loam and the remainder rotten manure and leaf mould. If you don't have the leaf mould, decayed refuse hops will suit them finely. Give plenty of water, a syringing in the morning and shade from the hot- test sun, and by October they will be fine plants and lift without losing a frond. I can add nothing to the well known qualities of this fern, but it really seems to be the most perfect house plant we have, thriving every- where. Hydrangeas. Hydrangeas that you did not force for Easter but rested as long as pos- sible will now be coming into flower. Look out for red spider. We have had the flowers ruined on them during hot weather before we knew what was the matter. It is not only the want of syringing, but al- lowing them to wilt for want of water, that promotes greenfly. If in small pots they should be supplied with liquid manure. Any one-year old plants of hydrangeas that were forced for Easter and did not sell, if cut down low, partly shaken out and started growing again, w-ill make the MAY 10, lilOd.

Possibly the leaf ab- sorbs some benefit, but the absence of extreme dryness has much more to do with it. It takes a little while to throw this material up to each row as you are setting the plants over, but the quality will repay a hundred fold; and then the sun can pour down on them without harm.

At the last meeting of the Florists' Club the coal question was discussed and action was finally taken by the appointment of a committee consist- ing of W. N. Rudd, A. McAdams, Pe^er Reinberg, Walter Retzer and J. C. Vaughan, to get the coal users together and endeavor to effect a saving by purchasing in quantity for those who desired to take advantage of such an arrangement. It was ordered that a question box be made a feature of future meetings. and members having problems to solve are requested to write out their ques- tions and deposit them in the box. The programme arranged tor tiie next meeting includes a paper on the planting of small grounds by the flor- ist, by Walter Retzer, and W. L. Pa- linsky will open a discussion on come subject of his own selection, probably spring bedding plants. Mr. Thomas Savage, Joliet, 111., was elected to membership. A B-inch pot plant of Petite Ami chrysanthemum in fine bloom was ex- hibited by .John Rearcon. He appar- ently has chrysanthemums in bloom all the year around. The Market. With some the supplv' has shortened somewhat since our last report, but with others there has been quite a marked increase. But all note a less- ened demand, especially local, and there is a big lot of stock in the mar- ket. Shipping demand holds up very well, but the recent rainy weather seems to have killed what little local demand was left after the paralyzing influence of the Dewey celebration. Possibly aquatic flowers were what were needed during the admiral's visit, and certainly they are the only kiiid for present conditions, for the .itreels have been literally flooded by the storms. Few possible flower buyers are on the streets at such times, and even the street men cannot .nn^'e the accumulation. Paeonies are arriving and in a few days the supply will no doubt be large. The prices of roses and carnations have not materially changed from last week, but you get a higher grade for your money. Out-door valley is arriving and has had the effect of lowering the price of the indoor product. Lilac is being received in immense quantities and is moving by flts and starts. On Tuesday it seemed to be moving backwards. The price varies from 10 cents to 50 cents a bunch, quite a wide variation. This is due almost wholly to the way it is cut and bunched. That cut with good iong stems and arranged in loose, shapely and attractive bunches is the kind that brings the top price, and certainly a little skillful labor devoted to the bunching brings mighty big returns. The little bunches of short stemmed flowers are always the ones that are left unsold and when they do sell they go at a very low figure. Smilax is more plentiful and a shade lower in price. Lilies are good and plenty, but move slowly at low figures. Sweet peas are also hanging on the dealers' hands. Peter Reinberg is cutting a good many Golden Gate roses and the best are selling readily at $10 to |12 a hun- dred, even during present conditions. It is an illustration of the desire for variety in rose stock. Kennicott Bros. Co. are receiving the usual large quantity of outdoor bulb- ous flowers that come to them at this season, and there will be a Hood of paeonies soon. The shortening in the rose supply at some of the wholesalers' is undoubted ly due to the fact that quite a few growers are beginning to throw out and replant. This is notably the case with Bassett & Washburn. They have already replanted about a third of their Beauty houses and the teas are being likewise replaced as rapidly as possible. Mr. Bassett believes firmiy in early planting, that he may have strong, vigorous plants ready for a good winter's work. Wild smilax is about out of the mar- ket. The early spring in the south started the new growth and it is too soft to ship satisfactorily. Leucothoe and galax are also about past for the season. 'Various Items. At .Morton (ii'ove, Poehlmann 'iros. arc breaking ground for three new houses, each 20x300. They aro the largest growers of chrysanthemuhis for this market and are rooting 1.50,000 cuttings this season. Their roses are in fine shape. They are already le- planting some of their Beauty houses. A rjench of Marguerites in lar^^e pots was a sea of flowers. They find them quite a profitable flower. At Christ- mas they marketed a cut of 17,000 flowers at $1 a hundrep straight. They are still cutting fine lilies, but the bulk of the crop has been marketed. They forced T.OHO bulbs. They force valley largely and the crop now in shows some extra fine spikes. Mignonette has been a feature with them and it has proven a very profitable crop. The spikes are of medium size only, but there are lots of them, and they sell well, and, last but not least, the odor has not been lost through effort after size. Adolph Poehlmann is negotiating for the purchase of land near the Morton Grove Greenhouses, and as soon as a perfect title is secured he will begin building. At Niles Center, F. Stielow ,has his rebuilt range in fine shape. He is en- thusiastic about the Garland iron gut- ter and says he would never dream of building any more houses without it. He feared that it would require more labor to put on the roof, but found it could be done fully as rapidly with the iron gutter as with the wooden one. The iron posts are set on a hard burned brick and the hole In the ground around the post filled in with cement. He expects his grandchildren to get just as good results from '.hese houses as he does and that they will be "new " for an indefinite period. Many of his rose beds are solid, v. ith a layer of 3-inch sewer pipe under the prepared rose soil that is changed yearly. He is a believer in lime and evidences of it are seei; under benches and in and around the sewer pipe in his solid beds. Mr. Stielow finds that Brides and Maids like a heavier soil than other varieties. He still grows Buttercup carnations and says it is as free a liloomer as Gold Nugget. .John Brod is doing well with the former Schiller range of glass and has a house of La France in splendid bloom. Adam Harrer has been cutting some splendid spikes of that white stock of which he keeps the name to himself. Jacob Meyer's roses have bloomed well, but his young stjck is troubled, by a disease, of which we shall have more to say later. The construction of Wietor Bros.' new range at Rogers Park' is progress- ing rapidly. There are 16 houses, each 30x300, and they cover a little over 4 acres of ground. McKellar & Winterson have begun manufacturing wreaths of the small prepared cycas leaves and are turning out some remarkably effective speci- mens. They meet with quick sale. Weiland & Risch have filled their window with araucarias, which Ihey are offering to the trade. Bassett & Washburn have si.^ued their coal contract for the ensuing year. It calls for 3.50 cars of ooal. They used about S.OOO tons last season and expect to use about 10,000 tons the coming one. The tulip beds at Lincoln Park are now a blaze of color and are well worth traveling a few miles to see. The hyacinths are still in fair condi- tion, though a little past their best. The spikes from the Washington- grown bulbs were much the best of any of the hyacinths at the park this season. Among recent visitors were W. .\tlee Burpee, Philadelphia: Challenge Ven- tilator Evans, Sr., Richmond, Ind. ; H. W. Buckbee, Rockford, III. P. J. Hauswirth made a flying rrip to St. Louis this week.

They are coming in from every direc- tion and in larger (piantities than can he profitably consumed. We must ex- pect that, and possil)ly no one is suf- fering by the overliow, and the public are getting some fine roses for the pop- ular price of 5 cents. Good carnations are not in such great supply. Violets are done for the season, but in their place we have an abundance of sweet peas, and they are favorites with all. A great many flowers are disposed of just now and they need be, to keep down the stock. How strange it is to hear of the floods out west and 9 inches of rain- fall in Colorado duiing April, lands that want irrigating usually by May 1, while we are actually parched; only a few flakes of snow and scarcely rain enough to lay the dust since the last great snow slorm in March. Thou- sands of acres of forest fires in the nearby counties of Pennsylvania. Carnation planting is going on just now. This is a long time after the orthodo.x date for this most important operation, but was as soon as we could get at it this spring. W. J. Palmer & Sons have a l.'iOx^O foot house of Liberty rose planted and growing. This is wise and no doubt will be a most excellent investment, and could only be improved on by hav- ing two instead of one. Tliose won- derful flowers that W. ,1.. Sr., saw in Toronto convinced him that Liberty well grown is a wonder. That rural town of Corfu has been shipping a lot of flowers of late and has not done badly all winter. Old John Briar Root Weigel has been run- ning the houses of Mrs. Edwards this winter and has done well. T. A. Webb has given up roses entirely and has five large houses of carnations and four of lettuce. He thinks the latter pays about as well as the flowers. Mr. James Farnham has sold his house on Railroad avenue and is building on the main street, where he intends to remove his glass and add to it. Mrs. Tyrrell tells me she is better pleased with this year's business than for sev- eral past. The greatest cut of carna- tions I ever saw at one time was in the three long houses of Edward Gid- diiigs. I have a picture of his Day- l)r( ak house, taken a few days before Kaster, which will convince anyone that Daybreak is not yet gone. It was remarkable. At the east end of the village on a 12-acre lot Aleck Scott holds forth, and his specialty is girl babies, but inci- dentally he has four fine houses of caruatious of many kinds, two of vio- lets, aliout gone, and one bouse that is a most pleasant i)lace to smoke a good .')-cent cigar (that's enough to pay). The red, almost pur))le, foliage of th" Kaiserin Augusta roses that are plant- ed in a solid bed. rested all winter ami started April 1, will give you a feelin.g of peace and contentment, and the fumes of even a Dutch drummer's cigar would seem like the Cuban weed. A country village is a dirty looking place "just as snow goes down," but Nature, in spite of man's vileness and ignoraiu'e and laziness, steps in and covers a multitude of .'-ins with her grass and leaves and other Idessing.s. Corfu would lie a pretty place if it were not tor two unsightly spots. One is the Union Hotel and the other is the ruins of Mr. Gidding's old houses. When he moved them last fall he made three new out of five old ones, and tli.' site they once occupied is now a dread- ful sight. He forgot to clean up an.! the ruins of a junk shop cannot be worse to look at than the remnants of a broken down greenhouse. W. S. ST. LOUIS. The MarliKT. The glut is still with us and for the last ten days stock of all kinds has been coming in in large quantities, and the warm weather has injured the quality of the stock quite seriously. Saturday. Dewey day, the stock sold out quite clean, as nearly all florists had something to do, and besides, there has been i)lenty of funeral work the past week, which helped to clean up some of the white stuff. Really good selected stock held the same figures as last week; the poorer grades much lower, especially in large lots. Outside of the work for the re- ception of Admiral Dewey and funeral work, there is not much doing, and complaints of poor business are gen- eral. Transient trade is almost monop- olized by the fakirs. It has been a long time since prices on carnations, roses and other flowers have been so low. Carnations and roses have suf- fered most, as more of them have been coming in than the market could con- sume. Harrisii and callas are down with the rest and are a greater glut than ever before; almost any price will buy them. Violets are all out. Tulips and Dutch hyacinths are com- ing in from the open ground, but there is very little demand for them. Sweet peas are coming in large quantities and sell fairly well at 2.5 cents per 103. Various Items. The flower beds and lawns at the parks, and especially Forest Park, pre- sent at this time a most attractive ap- pearance. Young Fred Pape, the su- perintendent, deserves great praise for the way he handles the work. Visitors: Mr. Denker of St. Charles, .VIo.. and Il<'nry Johan of Collinsville. Both re[!ort business good with them. Our old friend Phil llauswirth, of Chi- cago, is also in town attending the Red Men's meeting at East St. Louis. Klessen Floral Co. had the honor of furnishing the flowers for the Dewey lian(|iu't at the Planters' Hotel. It was quite a large affair and well handled. 'I'bey also furnished 1,0110 roses a day lor the anniversary of Mermod-Jaccard .lew(dry Co. They report big business all of last week. A severe wind, rain and hail storm swept our city Saturday night and early Sunday murning. causing consid- erable damage throughout the city and county. It did little or no damage to glass. The worst damage was done to park and fruit trees. The damage is estimated at $20.0(10 to orchards alone. J. J. B. OBITUARY. We regret to have to record the death of Helen, youngest daughter of Mr. and Mrs. .1. .1. Beneke, of St. Lou's, on May \. aged 12 years and 9 months. She had recovered from an attack of diiditheria, but paralysis of the heart followed and death resulted in spite of everv effort made to save the young life. ' .^t the funeral there were floral de- signs from nearly every florist in St. Louis, and the St. Louis Florists' Club sent a large pillow with "Helen" let- tered upon it. Mr. Beneke has a host of friends in the trade and all are deeply grieved to learn of his affliction. He has re- quested us to express to his brother florists his appreciation of the V.ind- ness they have shown him in his hour of sorrow. BOSTON. Floral news is pretty thin, and yet there is much being done. All kinds of flowers are coming in quite plenti- fully and practically none going to waste. Neither is there so heavy an overflow of them upon the streets as during one or two previous weeks. Back Bay florists begin to complain of a falling off in their business, proving that summer is approaching. Well, the almanac talks that way, too, but the weather does not yet remind ns of it. Prices have been steadier this week, probably because salesmen are dis- couraged in trying to obtain better. American Beauties, in 3-foot lengths, sell for $3 or $4 per dozen; 2-foot at $2; 1-foot at fl. Jacks are getting scarce. Meteors in fair supply at from 2 to 121/2 cents each; pink, white and yellow, enough at from 1 cent on culls to 12V2 cents for a very few extra. Pinks, from 1 to 3 cents; violets get- ting scarce; but a few very good ones, 734 The Weekly Florists' Review. MAY 10, 1!W0. and half a dollar a hundred Is about the limit on the best now. There has been a flush time on Easter lilies, but now they are not crowding in so last so that prices have struggled to 'J and S cents each. Small white flowers for filling funeral designs plentiful enough at fair prices: smaller bulb goods l:old ing out very well yet. Heershij> comprises the most intluential trade journals in llie West, it was det^rminsd to take- some action to pi*olect manu actiiring: and mercantile firms from tlie depredation of the 'fake write-up men." "A number of alleged tradi journals, sev- eral of them being printed in the Southern States, send out thousands of circular lett'eis to merchants and manufacturers, enclosing proofs of ingeniously preiiaied write-ups. Rach per.son tn whom a letter is directed is led to believe tlat he has been selected b;-- cause of the i.romlnence of this firm. The men whom it is sought to victimize are informed that no charge will be made for the printing of this complimentary notice, but that sam- ple copies will he sold at I'o cents per copy, or at 8 cents per copy in thousand lots. These journals have no legitimate standing in the community, and represent nothing ex- cept the desire of their managers to extort money from business men. The circular let- ters are so shrewdly worded and the office of publication is usually so far removed from the I'ersotis to whom the letters are sent, that many firms have been victimized. .Mmost ev- ery Uei)artment of Industry is reijresenteil b>' one or more rej.uttlile journals, and manu- facturers and business men generally are ad- vised to communicate with publishers of wh-im they have somi- knowle Ige before being led into fake schemes.

It was an interesting subject and well gotten up. Too bad that there was not a larger attendance. At the above meeting Henry F Michell said that he recently had an interview with a grower of lilies from Bermuda, who reports the outlook for healthy stock much better than for the past few years. This industry hiv- ing had such a setback the past few years, some extreme measures had to be taken. On the appeal of the lily growers, the English government sent specialists to study the disease. Now not more than ."> per cent of the crop shows any signs of the trouble. A grower found with diseased bulbs is compelled to destroy them. The Ber- muda growers are investigating the soils, climate, etc., of Pvierto Rico, with the view of planting lilies there. Notes. P. Alberger.

Funeral work has kept Adam Sekeu- ser very l)iisy since Easter, which was the best on lecord. The dull weather prevailing makes flowers scarce.

He could make a fine display at Buffalo of pines alone, of which he has a complete col- lection. J. E. Killeu, of New York, was a re- cent caller and gave an interesting talk on the lily disease, chiefly the cause. The effect we are acquainted with. He sees a remedy in sight, which he will impart later on. The lily prob- lem is an all important one with the craft, the consensus of opinion being that Japanese stock is the purest and best to force, but as the time of re- ceipt cannot be depended upon, Har- risii will yet be forced in some num- bers. Those who kept the bulbs grow- ing from the start have been the most successful. M. LOUISVILLE, KY. Business is still very good, there be- ing plenty of funeral work. Flowers of all kinds are plentiful. Some very good lilies are to be seen yet, but roses are getting small and are badly mildewed. Some very fine carnations are coming in, such as Triumph and Bradt, which are of fine quality. The florists are through planting^ their carnations out in the field. Jacob Schultz will rebuild several houses this coming summer. Joseph Coenen & Co. report trade very .^ood and Wood & Stubbs, seedsmen, are still very busy filling orders for seeds and bulbs. E. G. Reimers reports his Easter trade the best in years. Hy Fuchs is cutting some very fine carna- tions and has lots of funeral work. William Walker has some very fine Kaiserin roses just coming in. C. H. Kunzman is building a new carnation house. C. W. Reimers' place is in fine shape at the present time. Wm. Mauu is still up to his ears in business — funeral work, lots of it. Some very fine beds of tulips are to be seen in Cave Hill cemetery this season and also some very fine beds of tulips in St. Louis cemetery. HY LICHTEFELD. COATESVILLE, PA.— James Brown has lately added a mushroom house. His plant houses are in fine shape. VINCAS and LEMON VERBENAS.

'l"he Florists' Association held thi^ icgiilar monthlj' mpeting at Garflelil I'aik Tuesday evening, May 1. ThOBi' who came early were shown through the greenhouses hy Mr. MeKeand and thoy all spoke very highly of the ex- cellent condition of the i)lants. Mi. LangstalT jircsided at the meeting. Mr. O'l^flum gave us a lecture on tempera- ture that was very humorous and much enjoyed by all. The question, "Is Greenhouse Stock Taxable?" was brought up and quite a discussion fol- lowed. Would like to have the editor and the readers of the Review give us their opinions. Florists here will try to buy their coril for the coming winter as soon as possible, tearing a rise in prices. Some of the memliers are clubbing together to buy their supply from the lowest bidder. Messrs. Junge. Hartje and Heidenreich were appointed a com- mittee to see different coal agents and get bids. Next meeting will l)e held at Garfield Park, and there will lie a dis- cussion on rose soil by our rose grow- ei's. Notes. The bedding season is now here, and as it advances the florists have their hands full. A few of the market flor- ists made an agreement to raise the price on bedding stuff, but it's the same old story. Some of them will agree to anything and then turn round and cut prices. liow do they ever expect to get decent prices for their stuff under such conditions? Mr. Braendlein is cutting some very fine sweet peas that are much ad- mired. Good roses are scarce, while carna- tions are plentiful and sell cheap. Mr. Rieman had a vase of a white carnation seedling on exhibition at the last meeting which, with a little better stem, would be hard to beat. Baur & Smith exhibited some carnation sports that were very good. Both received honorable mention. FRED. DENVER, COLO. The following scores were made l)y penver bowlers Tuesday May 1.

GRAND RAPIDS, MICH. Mean, wet, cold, soggy weather is now our portion, witti frost thrown in hy way of variety; still it is good car- nation growing weather, and those who are fortunate enough to have them all in are thanking their lucky stars.

Do we owe nothing to this country? Have we done or do we do our duty as Amer- icans? Do we realize or appreciate the full meaning of Decoration Day? Or has life any ambition or thought be- yond that of self and its gratifications? Many may read this and mutter, "I'm satisfied; I'm making a living — what else should I care for?" How small man appears as viewed from a high pinnacle; how often he really is so when judged from the point of true patriotism! "The land we live in" means only the land we rob or despise to many, but we are glad to say that element is daily becoming smaller. Yet to-day we may see many who forget their disguise and become ridiculous in their adoration of some foreign and corrupt monarch. But they will not go back and enjoy the glory of living under that potentate, not they, indeed, for they'd go hun- gry if they did. They like the United States, for the dollars are large and plentiful here. 'Tis a queer world and this country is the amphitheater for its tragedy and comedy — a stage upon which tolerance is forever flghtiug ig- norance and on the latter prosperity with inexcusable impartiality often smiles in vain. It is impossible for us to picture the American to whom the numerous small mounds in Arlington yonder are mere tufts of grass and nothing more; such a person doesn't exist. Yet It is true that there is a vast army of peo- ple here who eat up the products of the land and enjoy all its munificence without knowing or caring how such was made possible; envy cannot en- ter into any argument here, for there's room for all, but time is an impa- tient master and the ideal of every- thing depends on unity. That is the principle, the ambition of floriculture; our standards may vary exceedingly, but it is idealism we aim for; we mis- take in not more forcibly applying it to the nation. Decoration Day should mean more to the florist than it does to the average citizen, because in addi- tion to the sentiment or the eruption of memory, it is a day of special recog- nition of his art; the public turn to him, for materials by which they may express all that is best in them, and if betimes the result-s are unsatisfactory the florist is often to blame, mostly for two reasons: he is not in sym- pathy with the occasion or the stock is inappropriate or tco poor. In our business it pays to foster patriotism and the best way to en- courage is to set example. Even a mercenary motive behind such exam- ple need scarcely be discernible and the habit may become a virtue. Life, after all is said and done, is but a short hit of road; it is immaterial what part of the world it may be in, 'tis all the same and just as short. The ruins or glories strewn along it are but the results of our own acts; many times the river of adversity can be bridged only by the strong and am- bitious; those who fail should not be condemned, at least hastily. What we have been writing here applies to the average American florist. We know — you all know — some particular man who grows his plants well for certain special occasions and his suc- cess comes quickly; others who either cannot or will not produce good stock, their struggles are pitiable. A vastly larger quantity of good plants could be dispofed of on Mem- orial Day if individual and united ac- tion would be concentrated to that end. We don't believe in giving away stock where such would tend to cheapen, demoralize or degrade the business. Heaven knows it costs much to produce plants and flowers and the public only too seldom recog- nize that fact. It is only that in the failure to push business on a day like this the florist is at fault, and may also be suspected of lack of interest in the event. Last year we advocated the plan of having the local florists decorate the public soldiers' monument gratis. This would not have cost them much, it would be patriotic and remind the public of their duty. There is scarcely a town or city in the Union without some monument of national signifl- lann-. ami tlii'y slioiild In- il'n orated by the florists. Inasmuch as otherwise they will not be attended to. Years ago it was customary to elaborately decorate all the public statues; some vile work used to be done on them, too. We've seen Lincoln's arm filled with potted plants, sometimes a wreath of hemlock 'round his neck. Grant's chest covered with an immor- telle shield or a wreath on his hat. Farragut grasping a tin-foiled an- chor. And Washington and Lafay- ette would be transformed into come- dians. We would rather assert that the reasons for the lack of monument de- orations to-day are due more to the bad taste displayed in the work of former years than to the decline of American patriotism. We have seen the beautiful creation, the soul-dream of some eminent sculptor, made a thing of ridicule by the florist whose duty it was to still more beautify, and can we blame the people if they stop it, or if other arts refuse to recognize the full importance of ours? The sculptor of to-day may in confidence procure his models from the floral artist of ancient Athens, and the floral artist of to-day should be equal to the highest standard of refined art. We may imagine that the tendency of current styles incline to the large and gaudy displays, but it is our duty to advocate substance and beauty; for instance, a laurel wreath of two or three thousand leaves carefully ar- ranged can be more expressive than a quantity of laurel streamers or en- twinements. In this class of work we should not go in so much for covering space as we should to con- form to the outlines of the subject and yet individualize our own design. Harmony in work is like that element in society — both produce pleasure. In the case of equestrian or other stat- ues, the florist's work should be con- fined to the base or pedestal, and even there a concentration of effort gives best results. It may be different in the decoration of monoliths or other forms, but clumsiness or indifferent work will spoil all. Appropriate material is a very im- portant matter to consider. Decora- tion Day should not be considered in any funereal light; it is no longer a day of mourning; it is a day of fond memories and great joy, for with gar- land and flower we pay our tribute to the dead and our joy has its spring in the fact that the country is secure and prosperous because of the sacrifices made and the ever present spirit of emulation. Fortunately, the celebration occurs at a time of the year when an abund- ance of material is available, and the lateness of the season this time will provide even a greater variety than usual. Colored flowers are most suit- able; the variety of color is immater- ial— the grouping of them is essential. In extensive work of course a separa- tion of color is desirable, such as 756 The Weekly Florists' Review. MAY IT, 1900. wreaths or garlands composed of all one shade. In the matter of green- ery, we should remember that the laurel and palm are mo.st appropri- ate emblems, still fine effects can be obtained by the use of almost any Casket Lyre. kind of foliage; we regret, though, that there are many florists to-day whose ideas of appropriateness is lim- ited to galax leaves; they advocate them for everything because they are cheap, and their ability is limited. For a long time it has been custom- ary for school children and other or- ganizations to decorate monuments with quantities of small potted plants. The Intention is sublime, but the re- sult disappointing. In most cases it is possible to plant them, thus insur- ing several months of pleasure, in- stead of permitting them to dry out in pots and become a nuisance. A special effort should be made tc in- duce organizations to observe the beautiful custom of decorating the graves, and the right kind of material provided at reasonable price. Where there are public parades in honor of the day no man should be without his sprig of green or boutonniere of red, white and blue flowers, and they should not be artificial or dried. The American flag is a grand em- blem— a garland of roses does not de- stroy its beauty. Whatever we do this Decoration Day, let us be careful to give satisfaction. To make this earth more beautiful, to assist nature In providing humanity with all that is purest, sweetest and brightest, is the special mission of the florist. Let us not be content with being mere pro- viders. I^et us demonstrate an equal- ity in all that is good, all that is Am- erican, on May 30th. IVERA. WIRE DESIGNS. [Continued from Ihsi week, J The casket lyre makes an exquisite design — that is, if it is properly done: all casket designs are, of course, flat. This particular one is long and taper- ing, an idealic rather than an exact reproduction of the ancient Egyptian musical instrument. It must also be made compact and the strings must be of tinseled braid or silk. Classic em- blems should always be of rich ma- terial; they look abominable if of oheap or clumsy arrangement. This makes up specially fine solid with vio- lets, silvered wires, a spray of white or lavender orchids at the place where the strings are fastened to the cross- beam. The design is usually raised on feet a little on the slant from top to bottom. By "feet" we don't mean stands or wires, which spoil the beau- ty of the design, only short supports which don't show, yet help to lend character to the work. The casket heart is very long, in the hands of some it is easy to make it appear abnormally so, but an artist can make it appear more expressive than the round, flabby, chunky look- ing thing most wireworkers send out to represent the incubator of all that's good. This should also be made solid of one kind of flower, ex- cept a cluster of pink or red either in the center or half way down the loft side. The usual size made is 36x16 inches. Another casket design is the Em- pire wreath, copied from the principal decorative idea employed in the days of Napoleon I. We read of how Na- poleon entered the cathedral at his coronation ceremony wearing a wreath of golden laurel. This partic- ular design dates back into ancient Greek history. It was somewhat mod- ernized in the days known in French history as the First Empire. We think the loops are often made too long. The wreath was originally an open cres- cent wreath tied at the bottom with a bow of ribbon. The wire loop in the Empire wreath is a mere presump- tion on the part of the wire-worker, for in the hands of a careless florist it is apt to be made to look like two horseshoes. The styles in funeral designs, like everything else, vary and change with the whims and dictates of cir- cumstance. The basement of any old-time florist store is liable to be full of skeletons of the dead past. Many of you may remember the trowel-like flat bouquet design of 20 or 30 years ago. The vacant chairs, the gates ajar, and all that kind of structural design work is either en- tirely out of use or is unpopular to- Casket Heart. day; even the pillows, anchors, stars, hearts, and the designs of the past 15 years are no longer asked for un- less in poorer sections, where size, or perverted taste, or limited intelli- gence rules. Of course, size counts for much to-day, especially whore subscriptions are raised to pay for designs, but funeral designs of to-day as a rule are made more with a view to quality and good sense than they have ever been before. The stand- ing wreath may make more show, but as an expressive design it is a failure; the stand makes it a circle on a stick, nothing more. IVERA. TIN FOILED DESIGNS. Ivera says that tin foil on designs to hold the moss in place is now all done away with, but fails to say what he uses in its place. Now, that is just what we want to know. Will he toll us? J. W. M. In answer to the above we would say that tin foil is no longer seen on the best work, therefore it is quite unnecessary to use it. Green moss is far more preferable, or you can line the frame with any kind of green and use grey moss. The only excuse for using tin foil was to prevent the moss MAY IT. inoir The Weekly Florists' Review. 757 Decoration of a Washington Church for a Wtdjing by Mr. O. A. C.

Nowadays the bacl< of every well made wreath, etc., is carefully greened, thus insuring more harmony. Foliage has taken the place of tin foil in almost every kind of work. You can either put your greens in the frame before you moss it, or pin it on afterward with small wire hooks. Art, flowers and foliage only should be seen on all natural flower work. IVER.\.

A WRINKLE IN BULB GROWING. The grower of the finest bulbous flowers for the Chicago market is un- doubtedly Mr. August .lurgens. He grows large quantities of hyacinths in pots and pans for Easter, and the spikes are always large, not too tall, and with thick, strong stems. V.'e asked him if these flne spikes were the result of careful selection of tlio bulbs, or of the method of growing. and he replied that it was due entirely to the way the bulbs were treated. Though there is a good deal in the temperature given, it being frequently changed as the needs of the plant de- mand, considerable of the size of spike and stoutness of stem is gained by removing a portion of the foliage and throwing all the strength of the bulb into the flower. In the case of some that need more strength than others, all the foliage is removed, some with- out foliage being frequently desiia))Ie in pans of six or more bulbs. As latc- in the season as Easter there is not apt to be any unevenness in growth in the bulbs in a pan, but when .such is noticed the lagging flower spike can be encouraged by the removal of the foliage. When this can not be done or is not sufflcient, he cuts out the backward bulb and inserts another of same kind from a 4-inch pot. The partial or entire removal of the foliage from bulbous plants has proved useful with him in many ways. In the case of lily of the valley, where the flower spike is deficient in length, he removes one leaf, and this always stimulates the growth of the spike. If the spikes are unusually short he removes all the foliage and depends upon the foliage of other batches for leaves enough to put with the spikes in marketing. But where the foliage has been re- moved, more care must be exercised not to overwater, for the plant has little surface left with which to throw off excess of water. In a batch of paper white narcissus in which the flower stem showed but declined to grow long, the desired re- sult was accomplished by the removal of the foliage. ASPARAGUS PLUMOSUS. Kindly tell us through The Review the proper distance apart to plant Asparagus plumosus under glass for cut strings. For years we have been growing it one foot apart, with strings every six inches, but find it gets badly tangled and runs together. How can we remedy this? We have one house devoted to this asparagus and think of planting another, K. The principal thing to observe in growing asparagus, and even smilax, to avoid that tangle, is to give them prompt attention as soon as they want strings. If neglected they soon get in 758 The Weekly Rorists^ Review. MAY 17, 1900. such a muss that it is almost impos- sible to get them going again and making a fine, useful string. Guide these young shoots the way they shall climb, and when they are older they will not depart from it. This is a truth with climbing plants, but not so certain with other shooting and sprouting things. One foot apart is rather close. I would rather have them 15 inches each way, or, better still, 18 inches between the rows and 15 inches be- tween the plants. There is one great authority in this country on aspara- gus, namely, William H. Elliott of Brighton, Mass.. who like all good gardeners, is ready to impart his valu- able knowledge for the good of man- kind. WM. SCOTT. PRICES OF BEDDING PLANTS. Mr. Robert Kift, in an able article in the "Philadelphia Florist," quotes ■ the prices on bedding plants this sea- son and adds that they seem too low. Three and four cents for 3-inch stuff and 7 and 8 cents for 4-inch must seem low to the man who broke the record with the prices he obtained for Begonia Gloire de Lorraine. These spring plant prices certainly allow him little or no chance for record break- ing. Yet when one sees the thousands and thousands of little soft-wooded spring plants which have sprung up in a night, as it were, their cheapness is hardly surprising. This year Easter was late, too late for the spring plant men. Their stock in consequence is much smaller than usual to-day at the opening of the planting-out season. There are some fine blocks of plants on the benches, but the bulk of the plants are small seemingly dear at last season's fig- ures. It is very unusual to find the grower of bedding plants resorting to the trick of overshifting his stock in order to get full value from his product. This year, however, there are plenty of plants in 4-inch pots that would hardly sell as full-sized 3's. The man who has a contract for planting a bed that last year cost him $14.00 in ma- terial (200 geraniums at $7.00 a hun- dred), may consider himself lucky if he does not have to buy more plants to make his work creditable. R. E. WORG. GERANIUMS. Referring to the single scarlet gera- nium Gen. Sheridan, Mr. August Jur- gens, Chicago, says it has been grown here for many years. He knows of no better bedder. especially for a very hot position, such as against the front of a south facing brick or stone house. but at the same time it is not a first- class market plant, as it isn't very showy as a pot plant in the spring, unless extra well grown, nut as a bedder it is a wonder, standing in the hottest sun and blooming continuously with remarkable freedom. Considering market qualities as well as bedding qualities, ho places S. A. Nutt at the head of his list, and says it is surely the best of all dark scarlets. John A. Doyle, a new one, he thinks very highly of, and says it is by all odds the best of the light scarlets. Alphonse Riccard is a splen- did red. and Francis Perkins decid- edly the finest of the double pinks. La Favorite is his best white. Of Mrs. E. H. Hill, salmon, there seem to be two forms. In one the flowers are split, while in the other they are full and round. The latter form is the one to have. Beaute Poi- tevine is a fine semi-double salmon, and Mme. Jaulin a semi-double peach- blossom pink. Mr. Jurgens says most people water their geraniums far too much, and he has noticed the result of this error in the parks and on private pl.ices where competent gardeners are em- ployed. Overwatering results in a rank growth and fewer flowers. He would never water geranium beds more frequently than once a week, even in the hottest and dryest weath- er. He would then give a good soak- ing and let them alone for a week. PANDANUS VEITCHII. This plant is one of the very best house plants under cultivation when it receives intelligent care. Many of our retailers won't take the trouble teach their customers how to care for the pandanus, and so miss many sales. Nearly every plant lover admires Pan- danus Veitchii, and nearly every one can grow it in a dwelling house if they will use a little judgment in its care. Pandanus Veitchii requires little or no moisture on the leaves in winter: it must not be kept very wet; it must not be allowed to get a sudden chill. Remember these three points, and with good stock, properly grown and properly potted, you can succeed with Pandanus Veitchii wherever other fo- liage plants can be grown. JOHN WELSH YOUNG. BUTTED GLASS. We expect to reglaze some of our houses this summer and are in doubt whether to butt or lap the glass. Would prefer butted glass only for the fact that when a pane is broken there is sometimes trouble to flnd an- other of exactly the same size to put in its place. If it should he a trifle larger it won't go in, and if it is a trifle smaller it will leave a crack for air to get in or heat to escape. What does Mr. Scott say? HIAWATHA. Evidently from the above the houses have been previously glazed with lapped glass. Then the sash bars would be entirely unsuited for but- ted glass. Don't attempt to butt glass unless you have the bar and cap which is made for butted glass. Butted glass on the ordinary sash bar and fastened down with brads or laid with putty would be an everlasting nuisance and failure; and from this mistaken use of the method has arisen much of the abuse of the system. If you had the cypress bar and cap you would not flnd the difficulty you mention about putting in a new light, because the new one goes in from the bottom and the others are pushed up tightly, and you can always make a fit at the bottom by raising or lower- ing the nail or whatever you use as a stop. Once more, don't attempt to butt glass without the correct bar and cap. Other methods are dismal failures. W. S. A ROSE DISEASE. We recently inspected some diseased rose plants at the establishment of Mr. Jacob Meyer, Morton Grove, 111. It seemed to attack young plants in the 2-in pot stage only, and when the plants had successfully reached the 4-inch pot stage they seemed to be immune. The fungus seemed to al- ways start at a bud or thorn on the side of the stem and work down to the roots. Numbers of plants were noted where the bark was badly af- fected and the roots still in a healthy condition. This rather suggested that the germs of the fungus were carried to the plant in the water, but if this is true, why are not the young growths of the older plants also af- fected? Can some practical man sug- gest an explanation? Some specimens were forwarded to Prof. J. C. Arthur of Purdue Univer- sity, Lafayette, Ind.. and his letter re- garding them is printed below. He also sent us the drawing of the fun- gus from which the accompanying engraving is made. The young rose plants came in good condition, and it was not ditticult to see that they were suffering from a semi-parasitic fungous disease. The fungus works under the bark, enter- ing through the lower cut end, or through a wound in the stem made by breaking away a thorn, leaf, or bud. Having gotten a start inside the cutting or small plant, the tender cells are killed, and the bark soon turns black. After that the roots and leaves die because the stem can no longer transport the healthy sap. The fungus is one of several that are known as cutting-bed fungi, al- tho\igh this particular one is new to me. It forms colorless threads that grow out into little glistening white tufts on the surface of the bark, just discernible by the naked eye. On the end of each branch is borne a spore, that finally drops away, and at once is ready to grow into more fungous threads to spread the disease. The spores are colorless, and either before or after dropping away from the MAY 17, 1900. The Weekly Florists' Review. 759 stalks that bear them, become two- celled by a cross wall, and occasion- ally three-celled. In all details affecting tre.itniv-nt this fungus agrees with that of the well Ijnown Botrytis, which also at- tacks roses in this same manner. Both fungi can flourish on decaying (low- ers, leaves, and almost any vegetable matter, and only occasionally take to killing growing plants. The first thing to do in ridding a house of such pests is to fumigate with sulphur. If flowers of sulph ir be evaporated over a flame in an opni vessel until the air of the hous.-' is decidedly pungent, and the process repeated twice a week for two or ttirse weeks, there should be no more trouble from surface infection for some time. During the operation the sulphur should be watched and not allowed to burst into flame, or the contents of the house may be ruin"l. But the fungus can also flourish in rich soil where sulphur fumes do not readily penetrate. To guard against this danger, the cutting bench should only receive sand that is clean and never before used in a greenhouse. Until the plants are well establishol the soil should not be too rich, and if a naturally rich loam must be taken, as in some prairie regions, sand should be added to the soil when the cuttings are first potted off. Of course fresh soil that has had no chance to be contaminated from indoor use is safest. J. C. ARTHUR. Indiana Experiment Station, Lafay- ette, Ind. We also sent specimens to Prof. Byron D. Halsted of the N. J. Agri- cultural Experiment Station, who re- plied: "The young rose plants have been examined and the trouble is r'.ie anthracnose, treated of fully in my late paper before the American Rose Society." This paper was printed in The Review for March 29 last. From it we reprint an extract below: "It will be gathered from these re- marks that rose anthracnose is a .spe- cific disease, caused by a well defined fungus that grows rapidly from spores, penetrates the substance of stem and leaf and finally causes defoliation and death of cane. The anthracnose. be- cause of its multitude of spores pro- duced in pimples on leaves, particu- larly fallen ones, and the canes, and the ease with which they are trans- ported by water, also rapidity of ger- mination, all combine to make this fungous enemy of the roses very con- tagious. "This class of fungi to which the Gloeosporium belongs is amenable to treatment by fungicides. A coating of the Bordeaux mixture or cupram upon the leaves and stems prevents in large degree the entrance of the germs Therefore all rose-houses where there is any anthracnose should he sprayed with one of the above compounds. It goes without further saying that sll plants that are nearly leafless from this cause should be either cut down close to the soil or thrown bodily into the burn-heap." CI^ Fungus Affecting Mr. Myer's Roses. A. Fungus, magnified. B. Spores, m'^gmfied. In his description of the ravages of this disease the professor makes no mention of decay of the roots, and this was the case with all the affected plants in an advanced stage of the iMs- ease. TAXING FLOPISTS. Editor Florists' Review: Will you please answer the following questions through your paper: Are plants in pots taxable? Are plants planted in tiench taxable? Is the soil in bench t.*xable? Our local assessor claims they are and wants to tax us for same as per- sonal property. K. B. Ohio. I cannot say what the general prac- tice is, but ordinary justice would in- dicate that greenhouse stock, whether in pots or on benches, is no more taxable than a farmer's half-grown crops; in fact, not so much so. Greenhouse stock, unsold, has no value, as it can neither be eaten, worn, burned nor made to serve any other purpose. When it has been sold it ap- pears for taxation, either in money or other form of property. But until the sale has been made, how can a valua- tion be put upon that which may have to be consigned to the dump? As to the soil in the bench, if the local assessor can find any monetary valu,. in that, he must be a wonder. Cleveland, O. A.GRAHAM. I can not see how plants are any more taxable than a crop of growing corn or wheat in a field and I think it is very unjust in the local assessor to attempt to assess the same; in fact, I can not see how it can stand or where th( re is a law, at least in this state — Illinois— giving him a right to do so. It has never been tried in this locality, and if it were I would most assuredly protest and make my complaint to the li'iard of Equalization, which we have for that purpose, and which I would advise K. B. to do also if his local assessor insists on including plants, soil, etc., as personal property. J. F. AMMANN. Kdwardsville, HI. Plants in pots are not taxed with us and we should "kick" if they tried it, as our taxes are heavy enough as it is. R. B. SHUPHELT. Chatkam. N. Y. Our assessor regards plants as nat- ural products, like wheat or corn in the field, and therefore not taxable. As to taxing the soil in the bench, I should say not! EMIL BUETTNER. Park Ridge, 111. Plants in pots or on benches are not subject to any tax in Philadelphia. The dealers have to pay a trifling mer- cantile tax from which the growers arc exempt. .JOHN WELSH YOUNG. Germantown, Pa. Greenhouse stock, either in pots or planted in benches, is taxable in Ohio, the attorney general holding that such stock does not come under the head or the intent of the law as to growing crops. THE GOOD & REESE CO. Springfield, O. So far as I know the custom here is for the assessor to place a valuation on a greenhouse establishment for taxation. Plants in pots, etc., are cer- tainly personal property. A. HERRINGTON. iVIadison, N. J. We are taxed on greenhouses and property as a whole. We pay no tax on plants, pots or any pther contents of the houses. Of course, our tools, wagons, horses and other outside property is taxed. GEO. M. KELLOT.G. Pleasant Hill, Mo. The answer to the Inquiry should be "No." Each year that a new as- sessor is elected we have this matter brought up, but after inquiry into it by the county auditor, it is never brought up by that assessor again. I have never had greenhouse stock as- 760 The Weekly Florists' Review. MAT 17, 1900. sessed here, nor do I know of any that have been. The only thing taxable about greenhouses is the buildings themselves. This year the greenhouses are being assessed as real estate in- stead of as personal property. R. WITTERSTAETTER. Cincinnati, O. We are taxed only for greenhouse structures and not for plants in pots or benches, neither for soil, which last I think would be absurd. Bellcvue, Pa. F. BURKI. Some years ago the assessor here listed market gardeners' products. They raised such a rumpus that the mayor ordered all such goods off the list. I put in a claim that plants in pots and in open ground were in the same class and since then they have not been listed, being taxed only as real estate, which is enough, the crop being subject to climatic conditions. Davenport, la. J. T. TEMPLE. [We shall be pleased to hear from others on this subject.— Ed.] Plant Out your Stock Geraniums. With us there is a little lull in busi- ness between getting out the hardy plants and the plants that will not endure a single degree of frost. It is seldom we get a frost after the 1.5th of May that will hurt a geranium, and now is the time for you to select plants for your own stock and get them planted out; then they can't be sold. I mention geraniums because they are one of our most important plants, and to have a good supply of cuttings in September you must have a good lot of plants. You can get all you want of salvias, ageratums, coleus or acalyphas from a few plants, but not so with geraniums; with this uni- versal favorite propagation is slow, and if you want 10,0()0 cuttings in September you must put out at least 1,000 plants now. Never mind if the foliage does get a little red with the cool nights; they will be making roots and make the best kind of cuttings. On one occasion we planted .500 geraniums for stock on the 15th of May; on the 20th we had a frost that blackened every leaf and stem, but after beiug cut to the ground they made the finest plants we ever had. I don't say this freezing is an essential, but I would rather it happen than plant out a lot of culls near the end of .June. Our experience is that if you don't get this stock out before the grand rush, you won't get a chance till it is over, and as for keeping so much put away for your own planting, it is an impossibility in a retail place, for they become the most attractive, and when your good customer says, 'Oh, can't I have them?" you say, "Well, really, they are not for sale; but I will have to spare you a few," and this is repeated till they are all gone. Propagators of roses and carnations are much more particular in selecting good cuttings from the most healthy and vigorous plants than they were a few years ago, and the same good law applies to everything, especially by this artificial way of increasing or multiplying our plants. So in every- thing select for your stock the plants that possess the characters that are prized, and good health is sure to be one. Asters. Last year was the dryest in July and August that we remember in a long time, and many a fine field of asters that promised so finely just wilted away or their flowers were useless. I am by no means an advocate of indis- criminate watering, and the geranium just spoken of above is a half succu- I lent, and in ordinary aeasons thrives splendidly without a drop of artificial watering if well hoed. But there are some things that cannot be grown without the liberal use of the hose, and the aster is one of them, so don't put them out of the reach of it. Sweet peas, gladiolus and dahlias must be watered, unless we get frequent rains. I still stick to my previous assertion that we should never water carnations in the eastern states, however much they may have to do it in the west. Asters should have a deep rich soil, and if it is a little on the clay side, none the worse; they will be all the finer blooms, providing it is rich and well cultivated. Dahlias, Dahlias are not grown as much as their handsome flowers deserve. Many of the pompon varieties are beautiful and most useful to the florist. It is useless to plant dahlias out and ex- pect flowers, unless they are given the proper soil. Dig holes two feet wide and a foot deep for each plant and work in half manure. Stake them early. Mulch them after they begin to grow and a good soaking of water every week — not a sprinkling, but a soaking. Keep the laterals pinched out of the main stems and you will have all the earlier and better flowers. Three feet each way is close enough for any dahlias. They should have the full sun, but if sheltered from the prevailing winds, all the better. Cannas. Although not cultural, it is business to say that the canna is ever growing in popularity, and you must add to your collection yearly or you will drop behind the procession. Obtain plants of the new ones and plant out at once; that is a surer plan than trusting to buying the clumps in the fall. Last year we bought Tarrytown and found it a most excellent bedder. It is a dwarf, free, cherry red. But there are several new ones that you must have, and the cheapest way to get stock is to plant them out now. Number of Plants to fill Beds. .\long about the bedding season we are continually asked how much a flower bed of a certain size will cost, and about 90 per cent of all the beds where there is only one on the lawn is a circle. Now, when the customer says "The bed is eleven feet across." you begin to figure out and waste time. Have a card with the number of plants it will take from a 6-foot diameter up to 20 feet. We reckon geraniums, coleus and that sort of plants at one foot apart; cannas and caladiums, 18 inches. It is usual to begin by saying a bed is 10 feet across and you keep the first plant back 6 inches. Don't do that. Say the bed is 10 feet in diameter, so the first row is three times that, or thirty, and with geraniums you will come out just right, and if you have all this to refer to you can say in a moment: "The bed is 10 feet across; that will take 93 plants at $1.50 per dozen, about $11.50; or if coleus, at $1.00, about $7.50. I have not stopped to make my figures accurate to a "York shilling," but you can easily have it all figured out nicely and it will save you much time along the 2Sth of this month, when your every moment is precious. WM. SCOTT. HEATING WITH NATURAL HOT WATER. Editor Florists' Review: — Away off here in the Rocky Mountains, isolated as we are from the large centers of population, many of the readers of yoiir journal who live in the far east, and whose environment is culture and civilization, perhaps hardly think life would be safe as far west as this. However, there are people who have the adventurous spirit, and such they MAY 17. lUOt). The Weekly Florists^ Review. 761 The Greenhouses of the State Nursery Co., Helena, Montana, Heated by Water from a Hot Spring. are who in early days "pioneerefl" this part of the cuuutry. In spealiing of "early days." we refe:- to the 60's, when the discoveries of placer gold brought seekers for the precious metal to the great west. They eertainly endured many hard- ships, and had many trying and dan- gerous experiences. That day is over, and we no longer live in fear of b^- ing scalped by Indians. Perhaps, however, thi-; is foreign to the subject on which you have re- quested a few lines. Still, florists, naturally, for some reason or other. associate their business with refine- ment and culture, and in this connec- tion it is safe to say that although the contour of the country here may be rugged and rough (and one is al- ways influenced by environment), still we have esthetic ideas and nice views on matters. We even have "so- ciety," for our population is composed largely of persons who have come here from other states, from the south. the east. In fact, from all parts of the worW. These people brought their civilization and refinement with them to the Rockies. Thus it is that in Montana (and Helena especially), flowers are used by many as lavishly as they are in other states, and whilst some .stock is shipped in. most of it is produced here. The American Beauty roses grown by the State Nursery Company have given Helena a name, and persons coming from other places are rather surprised to see as fine roses and car- nations as are found anywhere. Most interesting, however, to the majority of your readers perhaps is the fact that the greenhouses of the State Nursery Company, located close to the famous Broadwater Natatorium at Helena, are heated by the natural hot water as it is piped from the springs. These springs rise about a mile above the greenhouses- and the water is conveyed in wooden pipes to the natatorium before mentioned, passing through the land of the State Nursery Co. on their way and running within about thirty feet of their green- houses. This company have arrange- ments with the owners of the springs to use the water for heating their greenhouses. The water is led into the pipes, and having a good pressure circulates through the houses as artiftcially heat- ed water does, with the exception in this case that it does not return to the boilers, but runs away after having performed its duty. With the excep- tion of perhaps thirty of the coldest days in winter, or when the thermom- eter is below zero, the natural heat of the water is sufficient. During these very cold days, however, the natural hot water is connected with boilers; and the fires run the temperature up to the desired point. This method o'' heating has been in successful opera- tion for about two years, and is be- lieved to be the first case on record of heating greenhouses by the natural heat of the water from hot springs. Are you aware of any other instance of hot springs having been utilized for this purpose previously? Paderewski, the great pianist, and his wife were visitors at the green- 762 The Weekly Florists' Review^ MAY 17, liWO. houses yesterday, and when informed of the method of heating he ex- ihiimed: "Astoneeshing! no fire?" The half-tone engraving is from an actual photograph, taken from the hill a short distance away. The range of greenhouses now contains 35,000 square feet and a new section of about ] 8,1)00 square feet is contemplated as an addition to the plant this season. Visitors will be gladly shown over the premises, and. if necessary, they can bathe in the hot water. To use a western phrase, "the latch string hangs out" at the State Nursery Uo.'s place. A. J.

To the National Florists' Bowling League, greeting: To au enthusiast of this, which may truly be called the national game of the American florists, it is a great pleasure to peruse the scores and read the various accounts of the contests as they appear weekly in the trade pa- pers, and note the interest that is be- ing taken in the game in the different floral centers of the country. An evening now and then passed in the company of congenial spirits, en- gaged in friendly rivalry at a game of tenpins is not. as some who take a narrow view of life seem to think, "time wasted." Such an occasion brings together socially and affords much needed recreation to men whose business demands almost their entire attention, but who manage to get an hour or two occasionally to indulge in this popular game and derive much benefit from the exercise and amuse- ment it affords them. The inter-city matches which take ))lace from time to time are very inter- esting events and give great pleasure to the contestants, as well as their friends who come to cheer them on to victory, or condole with them in de- feat, as the case may be. Whatever the result of the game, however, it has no serious effects on the spirits of the players. They have enjoyed the ex- citement of the game, had a good time socially, and return home much bene- fited by their outing. The last national tournament during the convention of the S. A. 1<\, at De- troit, and others that have gone be- fore, still linger as pleasant memories, and from the reports of the games now coming in weekly it is seen that the interest is being kept up with the h'ope, no doubt, of winning distinction and prizes at the coming national con- test at the meeting of the S. A. F. in New York next August. This tourna- ment promises to eclipse all previous L\Y 17, 1»«« Chas.

Various Items, New York weather has been having fun with the people lately; last week we were on the freezing point, and now we are basking in the 90th de- gree. The backwardness of the season has been playing havoc with the plantsmeu, and yet the cut flower end of trade has been unusually dull for the time of the year. Summer conditions seem to have appeared very early this time, and the only reason apparent is the rush to Paris. Every boat leaving New York for Europe is packed with humanity on pleasure bent, and, of course, this takes away considerable of the best cut flower trade. The hot spell we are having is hastening the end of i-.ee .aouse flowers and hurrying for- ward such outdoor stock as peonies, etc. There are those who predict gloom in the fall on account of it be- ing general election year, but the same amount of stock will be giown, whatever betide, and we must hope for the best. Everybody is on the rush just at present with bedding plants. What- ever good stock gets to the auction rooms brings good pi ices, and down at the plant market the following prices prevailed on Saturday: Gera- niums, $1 to $1.25 per dozen; verbenas, 50 cents; stocks, 50 and 75 cents; pansies. 25 to 50 cents a box of 25; nasturtiums, 50 cents; fuchsias, 80 cents to $1; petunias, GO cents; antirr- hinums. $1; ageratum, 65 cts; candy- tuft, 60 cents; coleus. 50 cents; roses. $3 to $4 per dozen. This stock all in pots. Hoses were scarce and sold well. Some finely grown heliotrope is com- ing in, especially the sort known as Little Giant; it brings 75 cents and $1 per dozen; double General Grant still leads in geraniums. Whatever good stock comes to this market at present sells well; but there is a large quan- tity of poorly grown -hings, and the wonder is that they sell at all at any price. It is hard to imagine that the bad quality is produced by poor houses alone; small growers either grow too many kinds of plants or the varieties are poor. A good trade is expected for Decoration day. In the cut flower markets Beauties bring $10 to $20; Brides and Maids, $6 to $8; Meteors. $3 to $6; .lacques. $6, $12 and $20; Victorias, $3 to $8; Christys, Brunijers. Nerons, Gloire de Paris and Baroness. $10 to $25; moss roses, 75 cents per bunch of 6 sprays; carnations, $1 to $2; outside valley sells well, $7.50 to $10 per 1,000; in- door valley, $2; smila.x, very plentiful, poor sale. 10 cents; lilac, $1.50 per bar- rel; lilies, $4 to $5; gardenias, $1.50 per dozen; extra grade narcissus. $3; cattleyas. $25 to $30 per 100. These prices are obtainable only for the higher grades of stock. There is a vast quantity of poor quality, especially in roses, which is hard to d'snose of at any price. Much of it is bundled off at from $5 to $7.50 per 1,000; immense quantities of soft stuff are coming in and whatever goes out brings from 5 to 15 cents per bunch. There was quite a little crowd at the Florists' Club meeting on Monday night. Nothing vrry special happened, President O'Mara seems to have everybody on committees and much of the time was taken up in listening to good reports from same. The commit- tee on sports reported that they had partly secured alleys and shooting grounds, and that Hitchings & Co. had offered a $100 cup to be bowled for during the tournament. Some team will need a truck for the prizes. Won- der which it will be? Several ques- tions were raised as to whether bowl- ers were compelled to be members of the S. A. F. or not. etc., which ques- tions ought to bo fully settled and at once by the National Bowling League. Gentlemen, don't leave disputes till the last moment; have an understand- ing at once, because there is pride, reputations — yes, and lots of other valuables at stake. The convention meetings will be held on the same floor as the shows; there's room enough for all. The c:m- mittee having charge of the horticul- tural exhibition has decided to have a manager to attend to the requ re- ments of that section. Everything looks very bright for a rousing good convention. Manager Cleary reports space for trade exhibits is going very quickly, and requests all to make ap- plication as soon as possible, in order that exhibits may be properly pre- pared for and grouped. A very valu- able souvenir of the convention is being prepared, which will be a splen- did medium for advertising, and Chas. Weathered, 46 and 48 Marion street. this city, would like to get your artv for it. Daly Bros., of New Durham. i\. J., exhibited a new pink geranium, a sport from Contrast; it appears to be a very good thing and the club's com- mittee requested that it be shown again later in the season. Mr. Eb- binger. of Boskoop. Holland, was an interested visitor at the meeting. On May 9 the gentlemen interested in organizing the new Horticultural Society of New York met at the Berk- ley Lyceum and decided to m«et again a month from that date. The monthly flower show of the Farmers' Institute was held at the same place and time, and Messrs. Roehrs, Lager and Hurrell and Sie- brecht & Son showed pretty groups of orchids. C. W. Ward staged rases of his fine new carnation GoTwnor Roosevelt.

R. ST. LOUIS. Market Conditions. The street ear strike the past week has thoroughly demoralized the cut flower trade, especially of the down- town stores. Even the fakirs com- plain that their business is dead and only a few are to be seen on the s^treet corners. The wholesalers are thoroughly dis- gusted the way the stuff has piled up. All kinds of floweis are now a glut, and anything like a settled price is, of course, out of the ques- tion. As to the stap'es. roses and car- nations, it is useless to quote prices, as, the way the wholesalers put it. "any old price will buy them just now" — $4.0t» per l.dOO for carnations and .$1.00 per hundred for roses, and good stock at that, is considered a good price. Sweet peas are in fair demand; supply plenty; price, 25 and 50 cents per 100. To swell the already overloaded market comes outdoor val- ley, tulips and early red paeonies from the south; also some good iris and other truck is coming in every day. The plant men at Union market also complain that the s:reet car strike hurts their business. The past week, which should have been their best. was their worst week, and should the strike continue another week the.v claim they might as well close up their stands, as the season will soon be over. Club Meeting. The Florists' Club meeting on Thurs- day was poorly attended, owing to the strike. There were present two down- town florists, three from Belleville, one from Edwardsville, and two from South St. I^uis, who came up in a wagon, and only two brpught flowers for exhibition at our miscellaneous MAY 19011. The Weekly Florists' Review* 765 flower show — a large bunch of mixed Uowers hy P. .7. Killniore, and a bunch of 25 very fint' Mrs. !■'. .Joost carnation by E. W. Guy, of Helloville. The regular routine business was Iransacteil and all committees were given until next meeting to make their reports. The meeting adjourned early. The miscellaneous flower show was postponed until the next meet- ing of the club, which will be held on Thursday afternoon. June 14. Three prizes will be offered for the best vase of cut llower.s, $5 for first, $3 for .second, and $2 for third. The committee in charge of this is Messrs. Guy. Fillmore, and Schray, from whom information regarding the show may be obtained. We all hope by that time the street cars will be running, so we shall have a large at- tendance. Notes. W. D. K. Smith, representing the Dayton Folding Box Co.; of Dayton, Ohio, called on the trade this week. Phil Hauswirth, of Chicago, who was in town last week attending the Red Men's convention at East St. Louis, called on the trade Thursday evening, trying to find out when the bowlers were coming to Chicago. No definite answer could be given him. as nearly all our members are in bad shape just now and we fear that it ■will be some time next month before the trip can be made. Phil was so busy on the other side of the river that he did not have time to have a game of bowls with the boys. The contest between Phil and Degnan is watched with interest by the St. Louis bowlers. The bowling club will have to post- pone its regular bowling until the strike is settled, but no doubt by next Monday, our regular bowling night. the trouble will be over and the regu- lars will again be found at the alleys getting in shape for match games. Below will be found the averages of our April series: Ni> Games. Total. Av. H. S. C. A. Kuehn 21 .3,391! Ifi2 227 J. J. Beneke ]i; 2.S7'i li;i 2'!) John Kunz li Sol 142 150 F. C.

A stretch of burning hot weather has brought out an enormous supply, at the same time seriously de- teriorating quality, and to make mat- ters worse, what little demand there was has shrunk to exceedingly small, proportions. Nothing seems to move and the quantity is greater than ever before seen in this market at this sea- son. There are literally flowers to burn and evidently burning is what ■will have to happen to the great ma- jority. Roses show the effect of the heat more than the carnations so far and some of the specimens that reach the market are truly fearful and wonder- ful. An extreme case noted was some curious objects seen at Geo. Uein- berg's. They were little sticks with what appeared to be a discolored pickled onion at the < nd. The foliage alone made it possible to belirv.' that they were originally intended for American Beauties. Of coursi! this is an extreme case, but all rose s have suffered seriously in quality, and one dealer tells of getting only 80 ship- ping buds out of a thousand that he sorted over. Even the fakirs are un- able to make a notable impression on the immense quantity of lower grade stuff and prices are anything the dealer can get rather than let a pos- sible buyer escape. At the same time there is really none too many roses of shipping grade and the dealer has to earn his m:;ney by a lot of careful work in sorting. These conditions prevailed on Tues- day and that evening the temperature dropped 36 degrees in four hours. No doubt many were caught without tires and while the big burst of bloom may be checked, mildew will no doubt be rampant. Wednesday was comfortably cool only, but green- house stock without fire on Tuesday night must have suffered seriously, especially after having been almost roasted. I'niess the change in weather cuts supply down to a very marked degree there will be a great abundance of stock for Decoration Day. There is a tremendous lot of fine lilac in the market as well as a great deal that is not so fine. But even the fancy goes begging for a purchaser. Peonies are in almost the same fix. Various Items. The hot weather has brought vege- tation along with a jump and the parks and gardens are full of beauty. Tne red-bud is in bloom and In tlie hardy garden at Lincoln Park such natives as Mertensia virginica. the wild geranium, trilliums and dode- catheo.as are in full bloam. McKellar & Winterson are contin- ually enlarging their supply manufac- turing department anu are now mak- ing a sickle and sheaf on an easel decorated with grasses that Is very handsome. Local retailers who depend largely upon funeral work say the big strike in the building trades has very ma- terially cut down business in their line, as money is now very scarce with the workmen. Mr. B. R. Tauch, of Walter Retzer & Co., accompanied by his wife, sails from New York for Europe, June 9th, on the Graf Waldersee. He will visit England, France and Germany, and possibly Holland and Belgium. Mr. August Jurgens, 150 Herndon St.. has a house of fine plants of Hy- drangea Otaksa in splendid bloom. There are 6 to !t fine heads of fljWers on each plant. The bowling match with the St. Louis boys has been indefinitely post- poned, as they are unable to say when they can visit us. The local bowlers rolled a few games last Sat- urday and some good scores were made. We learn that Walter Hcffron is to leave his position with E. C. Amling July 1. Arthur II. Luck, representing the Iowa Seed Co., Des Moines, la., is in town. A regular meeting of the Florists' Club will be held at the usual place to-morrow fF"riday) evening. The bedding plant season is open and the plant men are hustling. BALTIMORE. Few lines are required to record the trade news of the week ending with this writing. May 14. The weather has embraced extremes of temperature from 32 to i)l degrees. Frost, with some destruction to garden crops, has been followed by a torrid wave, and the transition season is over and sum- mer is upon us. The markets are full of hardy stuff, plants and flowers grown under sash, and the varied products of the greenhouse. Before the gardening fever has fairly stirred the amateur blood and incited to the plying of the spade and the hoe, that tired feeling accompanying the sudden elevation of the mercury has super- vened and many intended schemes re- main unexecuted. Yet, notwithstanding the enormous supplies of flowers, trade continues quite brisk, and for the season, prices are maintained at, at least, fair fig- ures. Good roses continue in demand, carnations are abundant, but first- class ones do not upset the market. Prices necessarily go down, but at last firing is over, or seems to be, and the cost of production is correspond- ingly lessened. Saturday was notably a good day all around. Weddings continue vo require many fiowers. the ill name of May having little deterring influence. Haliiday Bros, had a wedding decoration where peonias and blue and white flags were the flowers exclusively employed. One of the more beaatiful recherche and expensive wedding decorations of the season was furnished last week by William J. Haliiday. No expense was spared, exerything was ordered to be of the choicest character, and the most sumptuous gifts were bestowed upon the happy bride, but, strange to say, though both church and house were elaborately adorned for the ceremony and the following breakfast, no re- porter "caught on." no description was given in the papers, no formal in- vitations were issued, and only about twenty-five persons were in attend- ance. The lady was averse to the us- ual publicity given to such events, op- posed to the give-and-take system of wedding presents, and wished a beau- tiful service and decoration, without 766 The Weekly Florists' Review. MAY 17, 1*)*. the flare and glare which so often ac- company the marriages of today. Her wishes were respected, and the prepa- rations at the church and home were visions of delicacy and loveliness. Bride roses and asparagus were the predominating materials used at the house. The sale of the plants of William W. Spence drew a ci-owd. but the prices realized were beggarly. Fine palms and other plants, which, as the adver- tisement truly declared, had received the care of a lifetime, went for a few dollars. Few of the trade were pres- ent; indeed, there was not much in the collection to attract them, and the great size of many of the specimens unfitted them for most amateurs' use. It was a pleasure to see William H. Perot a purchaser of many of the or- chids. This gentleman was for years the president of the Maryland Horti- cultural Society and by his spirit, zeal and influence promoted its activity and usefulness. At the very head of the merchant princes of Baltimore, esteemed for his commercial integrity and high sense of honor, he was an ardent lover of gardening in its every department. He not only admired plants, but had a nice and discrimi- nating knowledge of them and of their cultivation and care, and the ability and disposition, as his many business cares permitted, to give time to their practical manipulation with his own hands. His collection of orchids was for a time the most extensive and val- uable in this vicinity and his beautiful country place on Charles street was long and remains the local Mecca for all lovers of rare and fine trees, vel- vety lawns and well kept hedges. Some splendid American Beauties sent last week by Henry Weber & Sons, of Oakland, Md., to the Florists' Exchange here might well make our local growers hide their diminished heads. The stems were three to three and a half feet long, the foliage abso- lutely perfect, no spot, no Ijlemish, of texture like leather, and of dark, rich green color, and the blooms bright, large and faultless. Whether it is the mountain air or the skill of cultiva- tion, they were models of floral beauty. The firm of Fischer & Ekas, it is un- derstood, is about to be dissolved. These young men have worked hard, gained a reputation for themselves and estat)lished a flourishing trade, notwithstanding some hard knocks of Fortune. ,Tust on what lines the change will be made is not publicly known, but both have the good wishes of many friends in the trade in the change to ensue.

We have iu om- minds eye at pivs- ent thousands of greenhouses filled to overflowing with all kinds of what is called "bedding stock." Acres of gar- dens and armies of impatient custom- ers and Imtiy gardeners, and what c.in we say that ^-ill be of benefit tu all? Much is being written and talked of every day on the well worn subject of bedding plants, and the floricultuial head, like the overfed stomach, is in trouble with indigestible food. Differ- ences of opinion often bring out the best points in any matter, and if there Is any element more prominent than another in the florist, it is that of imi- tative inclination and timidity in ui-- iginality. Let us size up the situation. We are on the continent of .\nierica. The peoples, the climates, and the innum- erable important factors combine to make it all-powerful— a world by it- self. Though we still import much of the material we use, we no longer look afar into the midst of other lands for ideas as to the methods and uses of whatever stock we may have. It is true that we have many "schoo s" in what is called landscape architec- ture, and with them, as in others, there is a vast amount of pure hum- bug. Dear reader, did you ever walk over a contemplated garden with s^me high conceited landscape engineer and listen to his "Garden of Eden" stuff? We have, and the experience is a con- tinuous effervescence to our comic sec- tion. We would not refer to them now. only that many — alas, too man.v— of our flower gardens are outlined and re- stricted by the men whose liv.ng is derived by the employment of fine lan- guage, whose experience is pajier splashed theoretics, and whose doings in the garden are crimes against hor- ticultural intelligence. A few years ago it would have cost any gardener his position if he disturbed the "weeds" Mr. Heavenly View ordered planted, or if he introduced any of his own ideas. Not so long ago. and even to-day, many of the wealthiest people in the country were and are influenced by the landscape maker, whose ten- ■y"i^^ ilci and narrow eye could not be.ir the sight of flowers. Thanks to a better knowledge of beauty, this is all chang- ing, and it cannot be entirely oblit- erated too quickly. Mind you, we don't believe in a monotony of any- thing: a generous tolerance is more apt to be better than a too dominant element, but we incline to the doctrine of more flowers, less crime. If you are at all observant you will notice that there is a decided yearly inerease in the use of spring and sum- mer flowering plants. This demand is not attrilnitable to the tremendous in- crease of population alone, but rather to a growing love of flowers. The modern dwelling is constructed with a view to interior and exterior plant ornamentation, and it is a fact that never before were so many window boxes and vases filled with plants in the large cities as there are this year. It is a beautifying and beautiful cus- tom, and every efl:ort should be made to increase it and extend its pleasures by a proper selection and doing the work well. The subject is too large to dwell upon only in vital points. Much that We do in America must of necessity be subservient to climatic influences, and so variable are they that we are inclined to ignore many special op- portunities and even shorten the sea- sons of outdoor flowers. We are a peo- ple continually on the rush: to even live here is to be filled with ambition or exist in a living death. There is but a limited supply of patience — we demand immediate effects and this is felt in floriculture more than in any other trade: we hate preparation, and therefore much that we do fails. We cannot compare ourselves with the rest of the world for many reasons, and perhaps 'tis better we must remain dis- tinct. We should try to be equal to the demands of the pulilic in all that pertains to flowers. Our seasons are short, hut we should stretch them if jiossible. and a little care may often accomplish much. Take, for instance, our early spring flowers. We put out lots of bulbs in the fall: they are in bloom for two weeks in the spring, and we let lb,- Im ds b.c.jine eyesores, instead of hlling them with pansios and other early flowers which will last till g-ran.um time. There are manv months in spring and summer we make no provision for, and the earth must wait for our "good and ready" ' jspos.tion. The majority of hedd ng plants are taken from warm house! to cold grounds, and the consequence ^ often disastrous. And then again, toi the sake of economy, we are plant- ing in luly what ought to be out in AJay. Wo should remcmhei- that it is ■ mpo.ss.bU. for most flowers to succeed when planted in the glare of a tropic sun and when the ground is baked- his IS particularly the reason why there are so many failures w.th oan- iias, dahlias, and such plants. And then again, many of the plants offered are entirely too small; cheapne.=s not quality, seems to be the aim of a great many, and it's a grave mistake. It is foolish to waste time arguing with a man whose houses are filled up with a poor class of materi.U He wants to get rid of his stock and looks to his trade paper for pointers We'd like to help such. It has been our ex- perience with many small growers that they try to grow too many things If they would devote one or two houses to a collection of retail oddities and specialize the rest they would in most eases do better. But as regards bedding out plants, we are glad to note that the present tendency is for variety. No matter what you've got there is a way of making it look bet- ter. Ours is mostly a trade of experiment and we should not hesitate to indulge in It when planting out. A mixed or composite bed often produces a better effect than a solid mass of.ono kind The situation and the plant must both be considered in order to bring forth the most satisfaction. In shady places nothing looks prettier than a group of palms; many varieties will stand in the open, and some of the finest bed- ding we have seen was where palms and foliage plants were used in con- junction with flowers such as lilies Then take crotons. What's finer than a bed of mixed crotons? Sub-tropical styles may be adapted to please all tastes. Cannas are a magnificent class of plants. The finer sorts onlv should be used; there are many on the market which in the order of advance- ment should not be. It is in the re- tention of inferior varieties of plants that we most grievously injure what we aim to advauce. and though a man may not be justified in throwing away his stock without an attempt to dis- pose of it iirolitably, he injures the trade in propagating and flooding the market with such.

Annuals are cheap, and very many of them should be more extensively grown. A succession of valuable flowf rs is mere- ly a matter of a few dollars and some care, but, as we have said before, im- patience kills many good intents. We all know the great value of such as new plants often renders deviations necessary, though the general principle remains, and whilst we believe in va- riety of form we also appreciate va- riety of color. Circumstances may al- ter cases. In public parks and grounds we say that every style of bedding should be adopted, with a preference for the massive and formal, because such appeals best to the general public. The poor people of the city Decoration of Monuirents. hollyhocks, delphiniums, antirrhin- ums, penstemons, phlox, etc., but we seldom think of them till we want to see them in bloom; they appear tire- some when in seedling form and even the general growers of such stock fail to supply the demand for extra large plants. Of course, such class of plants intended for early flowering should be put out in the fall, but the most of it is done late in spring, when it is almost time for it to be in perfection. The extreme in formal bedding w.is never so very popular in this country, but the modifications seem to have come to stay. The introduction of will not travel far to look at green lawns and trees; there is a mono.ony of similarity in most landscapes an 1 exhausted energy cares not for mcio- scopic studies. Who is justified or has the right to assume the role of dc- tator? Very few of our parks are man- aged to suit the wishes of the great majority; they are the spoils of ) o'i- ticians and scientific fiends. "STcre flowers, less crimes," would be a be'- ter motto than "Keep off the grass ' That which tends to produce the greatest amount of pleasure — the mng- net which succeeds in drawing out the very poorest from the lowest slums — is most commendable, and not the nar- row^ ideals of the over-educated. Flow- ers in the garden have a wonderful in- tluence over all classes, and an abund- ance of them should be in every avail- able spot. There is formality in most forms if you view them narrowly, and it ill becomes the florist to decry de- signs because they displease the un- educated critic, as most of the ultra ones in this sense are. We are too sensitive and pay too much attention to the opinions of novices. We must have more confidence in ourselves and assert the rights of the profession, and in order to be right we must be con- versant with all that is best in our trade. We feel it is merely a waste of time to write out lists of plants and turn this paper into a sheet from a cata- logue. If you have already got the stock which you intend to plant, just make the best of it. Break away from the conventional if the matsrial will allow, and if by the purchase of a few plants you can change the effect, don't begrudge the expense. If you have yet to purchase your plants, mistakes are inexcusable, for the market offers an endless variety and you can rarely do wrong where a knowledge of color and plant is shown. Th?re are many simple flowers which give more sat.s- taction than many expensive ones. In this class are Phlox Drummond.l, sin- gle petunias, asters, stocks, verbenas, etc. Geraniums of course will always remain the leaders. There are many fine new shades of color, and whiiSt it is difficult to surpass some of the old sorts, we shouid recognize the color value in all flowers. Coleus are becoming an annual spring deluge of color. Only a few kinds find favor, because there is a preference for color, in flowers to color in foliage. In this respect alternan- theras are losing popularity (they have grown poorly with many this year). Begonias of the Erfordii and Vernon type have justly sprung into favor. They make charming effects. A rib- boning of alyssum enhances them. Salvia Bon-fire is a fine thing for lines; or masses, especially in part with yel- low annual chrysanthemums. Rud- beckia Golden Glow or any of the tall or even small yellow flowers. Oeno- thera Youngii or Frazerii makes an excellent ribboning of yellow if pinned down. Of recent years nasturt ums have brought big pricts and their value will be more pronounced where and when used properly. Much trouble and dissatisfaction is occasioned by having soil too rich for many — nay. most — kinds of flowering plants. In bedding plants it is not foliage so much as bloom that is wanted. One is, of course, necessary to the other, but too rich a soil produces an un- even proportion. There are very few things grander than a bed of mixed lilies; how few of them we see. Then there are roses; why don't we have finer rose gardens? Dahlias are jump- MAY M, 1900.

Coxcomb and centaurea make up fine- ly, but we have never seen them any- where so perfect as in the public p irks of Chicago. Where annuals are us?d. 'tis best to either have room tor suc- cession, or else be dense enough to equal effects in the masses of other flowers. Acalyphas and abutilons, es- pecially the new A. Savitzii, furnish good high colors, and don't neglect cosmos. There are many dirty ponds or ditches that could be transformed into beauty spots at very little expense. A few aquatics, a cluster of eulalias, Arundo Donax variegata will repay, and you know there are many times in summer when a sprig of forget-me- not is wanted. M. palustris semper- florens planted in a damp location will furnish it. Combinations in colors can be as varied as your list of plants. Scat- tering or hotch-potch effects are sel- dom satisfactory. Many plants, es- pecially geraniums, will give better ul- timate results if planted a little on the slant, for they furnish up quicker that way. More attention should be given to hanging baskets, vases, and boxes. We find trouble in procur- ing good full vines for this class of work. Variegated vincas should be planted out now, raised in the fall and grown in pots for next spring's bedding. The vines on the market are too light. Ivy-leaved geraniums make a splendid hanging basket, so do many of the fuchsias, and mixed collections of plants. The average hanging rustic basket offered on the market is too heavy and expensive, besides the wood makes the soil hot and dry and few plants will succeed in them. Use the wire ones and moss, or manufacture crate baskets yourself. Aucuba japonica is a good j)lant for tubs or vases; it needs plenty ol' water to keep it in condition. Hy- drangeas Otaksa and cyanoclara can- not be too highly valued for outdoor summer vase work. Whatever you have or whatever you have to do, try to get your bed- ding out done by Decoration Day. The pi opie expect it of you and nature de- mands it. And again we say, do your work on the jirinciple of "More flow- ers, less ci'imc." IVERA. DECORATION OF MONUMENTS. We have been asked for some sug- gestions as to the decoration of the soldiers' monument shown in the ac- companying engraving. This is an exceedingly beautiful type of monument, and very great care should be used in decorating it. Many there are who suggest twisting ropes of hemlock or laurel around the pil- lar. We consider that would Spoil its beauty. We would not go higher than the projection just above the heads of the statues. There in the center we would arrange our cluster of small flags, fixing them so the sticks would not show and connecting them to- gether by loops of flowers or garlands ot green. In front and at the feet of each figure suspend a laurel wreath or wreath of flowers, and just beneath the tablets arrange heavy Roman garlands of either flower or foliage, which will contrast well with the wreaths. Oti the steps could be placed a few loose bunches of flowers, or scatter them promiscuously all over. Most decorations, in order to make them the more impressive, should be connected, that is, one design should be connected with the other. This can be done in a delicate way by vines, but on no account should wires, spring, sticks, or other adjuncts be visible. Then again the colors red, white, and blue can easily be arranged on each side of the monument like this: One wreath of each color and the garland the other; or all could be put in the one design, though colors are a sec- ondary consideration. The principle in monumental decoration is either extreme simplicity or concentrated richness. Work should never look slovenly or appear as if you wanted to get rid of all your material and didn't care how. Our idea of a laurel wreath is the one illustrated here. We made it for a soldier's grave nearly two years ago. This alone would be sufficient in most cases. Leave the crepe off. IVERA. PLANTING OF HOME GROUNDS. A paper upon the above subject was read by Mr. Walter Retzer before the Chicago Florists' Club at its meeting last Friday evening. He said that the subject was too broad for the time at 790 The Weekly Florists' Review. • MAY 24, 1900. his disposal and tliat tie would merely draw attention to the general rules of landscape gardening, which should be followe show Dailledouze as one of its p r- ents, habit of growth and foliage be- ing very similar, and Go'dmine just as certainly shows the Modesto b!ood. White Bonnaffcn is making bird, leathery foliage that should protrct it from many ills. I think there will be a much bjtter demand for chrysanthemums th's fall than for several years past. There will be more exhibitions, particu'arly in the east, which always stimulates the sale cf good flowers, and every year there is an increasng number of people that look for mums in the fall, just as much as they do' for aspara- gus in the spring. BRIAN BORU. planted in a geometrical design was especially effective, the varieties mak- ing an excellent color combination and being well graded as to height. We present herewith a diagram of this bed. showing the way in which it was planted and the varieties used. In planting beds of this sort, the height of the varieties when in blooin must be carefully considered. In one bed an error in memory as to height resulted in the planting of a border of tall ones around a center of shorter ones, with unpleasant results. We therefore asked Head Gardener Stromback to give us the average heights of the varieti ;s he employs, that we might put them on record. The figures follow: Keizerskroon, 18 inches. Yellow Prince, 1.5 inches. Pottebakker, white, 14 to 13 inches. Chrysolora, 13 to 1.5 inches. Rembrandt, 13 to 15 inches, Coleur Ponceau, 14 inches, Vermillion Brilliant, 13 to 14 inches. Cottage Maid, 12 to 14 inches. Rose Grisdelin, 10 to 11 inches. He has a bed of the double tulip Blue Flag just coming into bloom and this supplies a good succession for the single tulips. THE GLUT.

Eagle the accompanying engraving of a bed of tulips in Prospect Park, that city, planted to represent a but- terfly. It must have been a very br 1- liant affair. The paper states that the design contained 5.nly had enough of this accommodation it is an ideal way to grow them, as you get lots of flowers without so much rank growth. We are not likely to be overdone with cheap outside flowers for Decora- tion Day. Lilac will be about right. Peonies will not be in. and all kinds of tulips will be gone. Iris will help out some, but they soon look like a flag on a wet day after being cut. The abundance of our indoor cut will be our mainstay. The whole floricultural cnmmunity was shocked on Thursday last with tlie sudden and unexpected announce- ment that our Billy Kasting, alias the Hon. Wm. F., Park Commissioner, had been and gone and got married the day before. The announcement sent by mail from the bride's parents says that he will be at home in .June somewhere on EUicott street. That's very satisfactory, for we shall know now where to get the key of his emporium Sundays and evenings, when we have an unexpected call for his wares. It will also be better for his health that he has a home, but we don't like the way the business has been done. It's sort of cute to do it this way. but Billy is a sort of public character and he should have given us ii chance to show our appreciation of bis behavior. It's a mistake. This important event happens only once with the great majority of us, at least in one state, and the happenings at the wedding are something to look back to in years to come, 1 think this is good news for the grower and not so good for the re- tailer. As a single man Billy was lenient and kind and studied both growler and retailer, knowing the latter must not be squeezed to death, but with the care of the household, the fur- nishings and bric-a-brac, little shoe.-i and hats, baby buggies and doctors' bills, his nature will be hardened, and the higher the price the more commis- sion for him, is likely to be the domi- nant thought. We must congratulate the handsome and smart Miss Anna La Tour, for Mr. Kasting is bound to be a success in life. He has the right style in his make-up to go ahead and he has gone not a little ahead these past four years. He has the great blessing of being able to say "No" as easily as he says "Yes," and this is the first mean trick we have found him guilty of. Perhaps he thinks he has been all square. We don't. We do not expect to be consulted for advice, but his friends in the trade should have had a chance. The average novel and melodrama ends with the young couple getting married, all trouble is over and noth- ing but kisses, ice cream, molasses candy and fun is before them. What a horrible delusion, although not a delu- sion, for every sane man knows better. Reality begins and the dream is over. Be boss. Billy: be boss of everything outside the house, and let your darling be boss inside. Never walk the floor with the baby; 1 never did; it's en- tirely superfluous. They don't need it. Many other hints I can give you, but they shall be transmitted verbally. I know I voice the sentiments of your many friends when I wish you the greatest joy and prosperity and hope that, although you have promised to devote your whole self to the hap- piness of another, you will still be the same Billy Kasting. Von will not get fo!-giveness for this sneaky behavior till you have a thundering good house w^arming, and then you will get warmed. W. S. Pan-American News. The past two weeks have brought about considerable change in the landscape work of the grounds. Many hundreds of large trees, mostly maples, elms, poplars and horse chestnuts, have been brought to the grounds and planted. The lake connecting the canals is almost completed and the banks planted with a large assortment of shrubs. In the music garden have been planted several thousand hardy roses in masses of 500 of one variety. Two thousand of these are an exhibit liy Ellwanger & Barry, of Rochester. With the careful planting they have received and the heavy enriched loam they are in they should make a splen- did show in 1901. Mr. Rudolph Ulrich, the landscape gardener, is the busiest of men. The grounds surrounding the Service or Administration Building are s:eded. sodded and planted and have already a most finished appearance. Work is progressing rapidly on all tho most im- portant buildings. S. ST. LOUIS. The Market. The stagnation noted last week still continues, owing to the unsettled af- fairs of the street railway strike. The public will not ride on the few cars that are running, and those buying flowers will buy in their neighborhood, and. of course, the down-town florists suffer most, as the only orders they gst are by telephone, and trade over the counter is out of tha question. The florists around the cemeteries claim they have all they can do, but miss the customer who buys a few plants and takes them over to the cemetery. With the West End florists it makes little or no difference, as their trade don't as a rule, ride in street cars. The South End florists miss their street car trade very much for their plant trade. Prices on cut flowers, in ciuantities. are practically unquotable at this writ- ing, as trade with both wholesaler and retailer is worse, if possible, than ever. Plenty of roses, carnations, sweet peas, paeonies and Harrisii. Oallas and oth- WAY Jl, V.nm.

The growers will not stai\cl this state of affairs long and unite a number of them have already thrown out their old plants and are j)lanting new ones. This plan, which is sure to be followed by the growers generally, will place the trade on a better foundation in the next few weeks. During the greater i)art of the pres- •ent month the cut of roses and carna- tions has been enormous. They have been sold by_the liox, with little regard for varieties' and no time wasted in counting them, and at prices one would hardly believe. The plant men at Union market are still kicking about their business. Ab- solutely nothing doing, not only in our line, but in other lines also, as the market is entirely deserted during the day. Notes. .John M. Hudson was reported very sick the past week. Mrs. Hudson re- ports John somewhat better, but still a very sick man. Symptoms of Bright's disease is the cause. Frank W. Maas, formerly of Phila- delphia, is now with the Plant Seed Co. Frank reports that their business during the season has oeen good. The Florists' Club meeting which Mill be held on ,lune 14 will no doubt be a large one. The show committee will report; the miscellaneous cut flower show will be on; convention matters will be talked over; the regu- lar yearly outing committee will be appointed and a few other very impor- tant matters will come up which will l)e of great interest to all of the mem- l)ers. By that time, no doubt, the street car muddle will be all settled, and every one will be happy to come and spend an hour or two with the brothers. It will do you good. Presi- dent Ammann will tell you something about the ta.-cation of plants as your local assessor might want to tax you, and then you will know how to bluff him off when he comes. Nothing new as yet about the bowl- ing club's trip to Chicago. We have done no bowling and have had m meeting. Maybe in the next issue of the Review we can say more about it. We all hope that our members will all he in shape to attend the regular nights not later than the first Monday in June. Business will not be so much as to keep you away from a little pleasure every Mondav night. J. J. B. AQUATIC GARDENING. B^ \V.\i. I i:k Kr l /i k. [Extracts from paper read before the CIncago Florists' Club, May 18.J Aquatic gardening, which is one of the most recent arts, sprung up, as it has, just within a few years, it is sur- prising to what extent it is already practiced, and it promises to become the (diief ornamental factor in lieauti- i tying our homes and surroundings. There is a certain pleasure jieculiar to ] atiuatic decoration, one that once ex- l)erien(ed will always be sought after, and none will be more thoroughly en- joyed. The lieautiful, pleasing, and rpiiet effects are those peculiar to this art. It has not that harshneKS which one cannot help but feel in some other classes of decoration. The colors of nearly all aiiii it Cs harmoni/.e, no matter whi(di way they are planted— a discord is liard to pro- duce. The intense colors becfnne soft- ened, the odors diminished, and with the quieting effect of the \vater itself, produces a picture long remembered. The decoration of a pond, however naturally carried out, would not have a calming effect were it not for the borders which are the finishing touches. The border plants are an introduction to what we are to see later. A beautiful pond artistically planted without a decorated border, is like a summer cottage in the heart of a crowded city where high stores are its surroundings. Both would be un- finished. • Location of Ponds. In locating a pond, many things have to be taken into consideration not thought of at the first moment. A I pond poorly located, no matter how highly decorated, will always mar the surroundings. 'We must aim to select a place that will produce the most natural effect. If the surroundings are rolling or even hilly with deep val- leys between, seek a place low enough to retain the water without artificial means. 'We never, find a lake at the very base of a valley, for sufficient grade must be left for an outlet. If the most suitable place for a pond is where a rippling brook is winding its course, a pond can easily lie made by having it dammed. For this the strongest and safest material would be stones of considerable size, the larger the better, held firmly to- gether by cement. This stream will afford a constant supply of fresh water so essential in aquatic garden- ing. If the stream is large or subject to swellings after rains, large pipes should be placed beyond the beginning of the pond. These pipes must be large enough to check the force of water during the heaviest rains, leav- ing only the amount required to pass into the pond. If the whole volume of water be allowed to pass through the pond, our aquatics would soon be where we would not want them. These pipes must be laid just below the sur- face of the stream when it is at its lowest mark, for if raised to the point that the stream attains during rains, the pipes would be an unsightly object as they protrude out of the water after it has receded. These surplus water pipes, if no other convenient place can be found, must be laid underneath the pond where they will be out of sight. This can readily be done before the pond is constriKted. If, however, the raising of the water is not thought of at the time of the building, the evil may be remedied by laying the pipes around the edge of the pond, though this will require a good deal' more piping and other work. Wherever the pipes are placed, have them covered in a way not to attract attention. The prin- cipal rule that one must invariably follow is; Select the most natural place. It is quite impossible to lay down certain rules as to the location of ponds, as ■circumstances alter cases." General Outline of Ponds. In regard to the shape of ponds, it cannot be too strongly impressed that symmetrical ones are not to be tol- erated, except where surroundings are laid oi'it in the most symmetrical way, in very limited areas, say in the back yard of a city residence, and even there the irregular shaped pond would be more appreciated after the merits of each become known. First, we should select the irregular shapsd pond, as it resembles a natural bit of water more than the symmetrical one, and consequently makes the surround- ings more like nature. It can readily be seen that a pond of an oval shape can be used to greater advantage than a circular or angular one. The angles or corners of a square pond would be nearly worth- less, as no aquatics, except the small fioating varieties, could fully develop, for the foliage would soon come in contact with the border, be forced over this, and scalded by the burning rays of the sun. No room is left here for border or back water decoration. No suitable form of introduction can be made, as will be seen when com- pared with an oval shaped pond. The Construction of Ponds. Probably the principal point in aquatic gardening, and one that has to be fullv mastered before success can be attairied, is the construction of ponds. A pond poorly built or drained will only be a nuisance, a malaria breeder and a continual source of dis- appointment, the plants not proving to be as advertised. In nearly three- fourths of the cases it is not the fault of the nurserymen, the catalogue, or the advertiser, that the plants do not succeed as well as they were repre- sented, but simply the fault of the grower or the pond. This fact is marked in this branch of gardening. Aquatics, even if they are water plants, require drainage as well as those grown in pots, and even more so. For this and other reasons that will be mentioned later a sol bottom pond will be found most pre- ferable There is a constant regular seepage or drainage of water, which varies according to the lower strata of soil, causing constant but regular changes in the water. With supply 796 The Weekly Florists' Review^ MAT 24, 1900. pipes sufficiently large to replenish that lost through drainage and evap- oration, the water will be kept in cir- culation, so essential in aquatic gar- dening. This thorough drainage will prevent the diseases which occur so frequently when a pond is badly or not at all drained. With large and con- venient outflow pipes placed near the surface, all the dust which naturally collects on it, as well as the insects which skip about the surface, are car- ried away. These pipes may be so placed as not to be seen even by the most critical observer, by placing over them a few boulders or some graceful border plant that will completely cover the opening. The number of these pipes must vary according lo the size of the pond. Besides the natural drainage of a soil bottom and the surface outflows, it is very important to have a pipe sufficiently large, placed at the deep- est part of the pond, to carry off the water in a short time. It will be found of great advantage in the fall, when the tender plants have to be removed. Always have the pond so graded that the deepest part of it is in the center. If the pond is exceed- ingly large, have several parts that are deep enough to drain the entire pond. The trap of this pipe should be so made that it can be opened without entering the pond. The outflows at the surface should be large enough to carry away the water from the rains. One of the greatest difficulties met with in aquatic gardening is that the place where we wish to locate the pond does not retain the water. We may resort to various means to rem- edy this great evil. The cheapest as well as the best, as far as the health of the plants is concerned, is to place a layer of clay mud (the amount vary- ing according to the porosity of the lower soil) at the bottom and the sides, which must be thoroughly packed. The granitoid pond has its advant- ages as well as the soil bottom one, although not as numerous. If it is found necessary to have a granitoid pond, the whole car be so arranged as to give a natural effect. It must be made to produce the best effect re- gardless of the curves, which are rather difficult to make out of granit- oid. Have the edge about six inches lower than the surrounding soil, and have this graded to make a gradual slope toward the side of the pond. In this way the whole of the white gran- itoid edge, so unsightly, will be com- pletely hidden. The water in the pond can be raised to the soil and occasionally allowed to flood it. This will keep the border moist enough for some of our best border plants. In the granitoid ponds all plants should be placed in tubs or something sim- ilar. The ease with which plants are moved about after being in the water, and the fact that the water does not become discolored from the dirt that is plowed up as one enters the pond, and the ease with which they are kept clean, are the advantages not to be disdained by the layman, who has only the few leisure hours after his daily work is performed to look after the requirements of his pond. You will not have the rank weeds so numerous in the other ponds and the wild water lily (Nymphaea Mexicana) will not become a nuisance, as it can be well controlled if planted in tubs. This nymphaea, if left to take care of itself, will soon assert its right as a native and will in a short time com- pletely fill the pond, and there is no other way to get rid of it, after it has established itself, than to dig out a foot or more of the soil and cart it away. The whiteness of the bottom of a granitoid pond, without the gravel at the bottom, has such a glaring ef- fect that the eye is pained to look upon it, besides it reduces much of the beau- tiful color of the aquatics. So with the white edge— it must not be tolerated, not only because the reflected light pains our eyes, but the contrast be- tween the green foliage and the white edge is too great, and consequently lessens the beauty of our plants. The granitoid must be of the best, as it would easily crack during the cold weather if othervnse, and even if it is of the best material it must be covered with straw or something equally as good. Soil. IZ! Soil requisite for aquatics can be obtained easily and cheaply. They have done exceedingly well in a clay soil, though in good, rich soil, thor- oughly mixed w,th a liberal quantify of well rotted cow manure, the plants will many times repay the trouble in the profusion of blooms and the sub- stance of the forage. In a pond where but little clay has been us;d to retain the water, and where a good rich loam is found beneath, no other soil will be required. Whether our ponds have a clay, natural soil, or granitoid bottom, it is well, and will give a neat appearance, if a layer of sand or gravel is placed at the bot- tom. Moreover, this prevents the water from becoming muddy when it is necessary to enter the pond. Plants for a granitoid pond should be potted — or, rather, planted — in boxes or half kegs. The boxes shou'd be rather shallow and wide, as the roots of most aquatic plants have a spreading habit. The bottom should be well drained so as to admit a free circulation of water. The practice of making pockets in granitoid ponds is a great disadvantage, as it is diffi- cult to remove the soil the following spring, in order to replenish it, be- sides it does not admit thorough drain- age. Heating. Through the numerous varieties of water plants at our disposal, it will readily be seen that in the few years of attention that has been given to the culture a great many distinct and beautiful kinds have been produced. A pond can be artistically planted with nothing but these hardy plants and the use of them is to be especi- ally recommended to those who have but limited areas, and no greenhouses or other suitable places to keep the more tender varieties through the winter, and those who have but little time to devote to the aquatic garden, and the care which the more tender varieties naturally require. But even those who have but a small part of their surroundings devoted to aquat- itcs, and have their residence heated with either hot water or steam, will be al)le to enjoy the lovely nymphaeas of the sunny south by simply laying a branch from the main heating plant to the pond where it is desired to grow these favored plants. Those who wish to make ponds the chief ornamental factor on their grounds and have a large tract of land at their disposal, will see from the fol- lowing that there is one way in which the beauty of the tender nymphaea can be enjoyed with but slight ex- pense compared with the methods or- dinarily practiced. If a lake or pond of considerable size is on the ground or near at hand, the work can be commenced at once. At the surface of this body of water have a sufficient number of pipes that will supply the amount of water lost through drainage. This water is conducted to another pond of smaller dimensions than the preceding one. This, in turn, will be quite deep in one part, with a shallow arm in the other. From the deep part of this pond, but at the surface, have the pipes which lead into the pond where you wish to grow the tender nymph- eaes. The surface water of the large pond is heated during the day by the sun. This warmed water is carried away by the pipes — they being near the sur- face— into the next pond, and enter it in the deepest part. The large shal- low arm would become heated to quite a high temperature were it not for the deep and large body of water at the other end. As the water becomes heated it naturally intermingles with the cooler one of the deep basin, thus raising the temperature of this body considerably. With plenty of fish in the water this will be accelerated. [To be concluded next week.] IF YOU don't find what you want in our classified advs. let us know about it.

The florists in this city report the cut flower business still on the decline, even transient trade seems to have fallen off. thus the consequence is a goneral glut of all kinds and colors of cut stuff. There was an exceptionally hot wave visited this city the past week. The thermometer went well up into the nineties in the shade and in consequence there was an abundance of stock on the market and very little demand for it. Prices: Beauties. $1 to $?. per doz.; Brides, Maids, Kaiserins, Golden Gates, Meteors, |5 to |6 per 100; Perles. $3 to $.5: Liberty, .$S to $15. carnations, ordinary, $1 per 100; fan- cies, $1.50 to $2; daisies. il..JO per 100; callas and Harrisii. $8 to $10; mignon- ' ette, $2 to $3; sweet peas. 50 to 75 cents per 100; adiantum, i cent; as- paragus, 50 cents; smilax. 20 cents. A number of florists have quite a Jew advance orders for Decoration Day for the G. A. R. posts, both for cut flowers and plants. Jacob Becker, of Fifty-second and Market streets, will sail on June 30th, on the steamer Weisland. for Bremen for a two months' stay, and will take in the Paris Exposition before he re- turns. He will also look up azaleas and other stock while on the other side. Mr. B. has not been abroad in seventeen years, and will, no doubt, be benefited by the trip. Wm. H. Wyatt has rented a cottage in the country for the summer. .1. G. Eisele. of Eleventh and Colum- bia avenue, has been busy with fune- ral work the past week. Herman Ei- sele, the manager, deserves a great deal of credit for the manner in which he conducts the business. Aug. Lutz. 311 N. Thirty-second, has been very busy the past week with decorations and delivering bedding stock. Mr. L. claims that business ex- ceeds all previous years. Geo. E. Campbell, 3C01 Germantown avenue, delivered three wagon loads of bedding stock to one of the large ho- tels for Hugh Graham. 'I'his stock is used for vases and window boxes. J. Kohlers & Sons, of Frankford. have their hands full with orders for filling vases, hanging baskets, etc. Mr. Wm. C. Krick, of Brooklyn, N. Y., favored us with a visit the past week.

Bedding business lias scarcely be- gun. Owing to the la!e Easter all stock is a little backward, and from present indications will be all used up before the close of the season. Good gera- niums in 4-inch pots are quottd at 7 to U) cents each at wholesale, and $1.50 to $2 per dozen at retail. This price in most instances including the plajiting. Pansies have been in good demand. The late frosts injured the early blooms somewhat, but stock in gen- eral is very good. The cut flower trade has been very good, with stock of good, bad and in- different quality. The late Easter and the consequent rush of work with bed- ding plants caused many roses and carnations to be neglected, while the alternate cold nights and warm days have pinched the iilooms and mil- dewed the plant.s. The growers may still learn a lesson from the old adsige, "Whatever is worth doing at all is worth doing well." This is particular- ly apropos in growing cut flowers. The evening of the 13th we had a severe storm of hail, wind and rain. Damage to the florists was merely nominal, caused by hail breaking the glass. Carlsen & T^auritsen lost a few hundred feet, Christ Hansen had con- siderable broken and L. !>. May & Co. had a loss of about 2.000 feet. As the.v all carry hail insurance the loss will not be very heavy. Inquiries for cut flowers for Deco- ration day would indicate a very heavy trade ior that occasion. The careful store men will lay in a big sup- ply, as last season's supply was whol- ly inadequate for the demands. Work at our beautiful parks has just begun. Quite a good miny geraniums have been put out already, and the week will see a great many more planted. Recent visitors were Mr. Taat and Mr. Van Waveren. both of Holland.

In Boston they have never taxeri plants in pots or planted out, though the former can be taxed as personal property or stock in trade — whatever is on hand when the assessor takes the valuation and the latter added to the value of the real estate. But they do not go to that trouble here, as it is not considered worth while. My experience in the city of Newton was this: The real estate did not be- long to me, but the stock did. They taxed me in personal property instead of plants. I went before the assessor to remonstrate, with the result that the city solicitor admitted they had no right to tax the property as personal, since which time the city of Newton has made no assessment on greenhouse stock. The same holds good in the city of Boston. They have never taxed the stock in greenhouses. W. H. ELLIOTT. Brighton, Mass. I have been in business here for 3.5 years and I have never listed plants in pots or in bench or the soil, and have never been asked to list them for taxa- tion- JNO. G. HEINL. Terre Haute, Ind. PROVIDENCE, R. I. The regular monthly meeting of the Florists' and Gardeners' Club of Rhode Island was held in Franklin hall, this City. May 10, and was attended by a large number. The principal discus- sions were in relation to the annual convention of the Society of American Florists, and the holding of a carna- tion exhibition in connection with the June meeting of the club. The latter was deemed inadvisable this season. The convention of the S. A. P. will be held this year in New York city in Au- gust. The locai delegation will be joined here by the Boston contingent, both going by boat. FRANKFORT, KY.— .John Kraehen- buhl has rented the R. H.

The Weekly Florists' Review. 813 GREENHOUSE BUILDING. We have received from the Lord & Burnham Co., St. James building. New York City, a copy of their new "Cjita- logue of Greenhouses." It is really more of a portfolio th;in a catalogue, containing over fifty fine half-tone plates beautifully printed on enameled paper, of conservatories and ranges of greenhouses erected by the company in various sections of the country. These show a great variety in greenhouse and conservatory construction and no doubt assist many prospective builders in deciding upon the style of structure they wish. The book also contains many en- gravings from drawings of secfons of different styles of structures, show.ng the manner in which the parts are put together. It is a very instructive as well as interesting catalogue. Any in- tending builder may obtain a copy by addressing the company as above and enclosing 5 cents for postage. COE RIDGE. OHIO. The manager of the Essex Green- house, Mr. H. W. Turner, has just fin- ished four houses, each 25x100, one house 20x100 and a glass enclosed shed 8x100. These houses are to be planted to roses, two of them to Beau- ties. Later, two carnation houses will be built. Carnation growing will be a new de- parture for them, as they have been grovring roses mostly, with a few ferns and asparagus, also a few bulbs. They have been sending in the best Maids in the Cleveland market, and some very fine Golden Gates, too. Keep Bros, have purchased twenty acres of land. They intend to move their houses to this tract and will add some new ones. ACME. HOWELL, MICH.— .1. A. Brown, the Horist, and Miss Minnie J. Lare were married May 10.
