Seasonable Hints.

For the first fifteen days after plant-
ing, each plant, should be watered indi-
vidually. This is best done by slowly
lilling the depression around the neck of
tin- plant. By that time the moisture
from around each plant will have spread
sufficiently far to meet.

If the soil is in good condition and
rich, there will be a luxuriant crop of

w I- t" take cue of. These should be

removed and the soil in the bench be
allowed to become moderately dry and.
if the soil is of a fibrous or friable na-
ture, it. should be made firm by treading
taking care not to go too near the neck
of the plant. The soil should then be
stirred to the depth of an inch, ruffled
and made level and then given a good
soaking. This is one of the most essen-
tial points in rose culture. To gain the
full advantage of the growing season,
cultivation should be practiced once a
week and no other work should keep
us from this most important duly.

After the surface has been ruffled and
made as even as possible, overhead
watering may !«■ resorted to; that is.
the whole surface of the soil should be
watered.

As syringing musl be practiced fre-
quently ami a good deal of force i- i e
quired to do ii efficiently, staking will
have to be attended to -o that the young
stock may be able to keep an upright

position. If grafted -lock i- used this
should be attended to immediately after
planting, as the scion is apt to"be de-
tached from the stock by the force of
water from the syringe.

To keep the stock vigorous and hardy
ventilation will have to be carefully at-
tended to. Ample ventilatii n all bright

days and at night when the weather will
permit, will give the stock a constitu-
tion that will enable it to outgrow many
of the diseases and fungoid enemies that
would easily destroj stork which i- neg-
lected in these particulars.

I recently received an inquiry regard-
ing the amount of shade young roses
should have and this shows that the old
fallacy is not entirely extinct. After
rose, leave the cutting bciieh or grafting
frame and have begun to show that the
roots are working, they require no
shade, for the rose is a real sun lover,
and any shading applied to the glass is
detrimental to the health of the plants.

Greenfly, red spider and mildew are
the most troublesome enemies, and will
require careful watching. Other ene-
mies, such as -lugs and the hairy cater-
pillar, will aKo require attention, as
these can do cpiite a bit of damage in a
few hours among the fresh and tooth-
-' on.- foliage. Ribes.

TROUBLE WITH ROSES.

Please let me know the cause of while

house where the temperature is so to 90
degree, by day and 50 to tin degree, at
night. I find little green worms under
the leaves. P. J. K.

From the meager data given I am
unable to give anvthing like a s.iii-i;ie
lory reply/ Had he forwarded an affect
'd leaf, aird one of the worms I would
have had a chance io diagnose his case
correctly.

The spots may be caused by I he dep-
redations of this worm, which may be.
and likely is, the ordinary rose- slug
Inionostegia rosea I which is (he larva
of a four winged Bawfly and i, closely
related to the" imported currant worm.
They have a small, round, yellowish head
with a black dot on cad, side of it. and
have twenty-four short legs. The bodj
is green above, paler at the sides and is
almost transparent. Thej eat the tippet
skin of the leaf in irregular blotches,
leaving the veins and skin beneath un-
touched.

Syringing with the hose every bright
day will wash them off. If sufficient
force is used, this is the best remedy.
Spraying or dusting with hellebore pow-
der or Persian insect powder will also
destroy them.

The day temperature is too high.
From 70 to 80 degrees is all that i, good
for them so long as the weather will
permit. Ribes.

SOIL FOR ROSES.

K. R. T.

If soil like sample No. 1 can be had
from pasture land, with a good sod. and
is properly composted. I here i, little
doubt but that it can lx> made to pro-
duce good roses. The proportion of

ROSES AT ST. LOUIS.

A rose garden planned to eclipse the
Chicago and Buffalo display, has been
prepared at the St. Louis World's Fair.
Thirty exhibitors have sent their stock
and four acres have been planted.

Thjs rose garden, the planting of
which was begun early in April, occu-
pies one of the conspicuous sites. The
center of the garden is at the main
entrance to the Palace of Agriculture,
a grand structure 1.000 feet Ion- and
500 feet deep. It is on a high elevation,
overlooking the group of main build-
ings of the exposition.

When the graders' finished their work
and turned the site over to the garden-
ers, every vestige of „,il bad l>een re-
moved, and a broad expanse of sticky.
yellow clay remained. The ground was
platted with a series of eight collections,
forming a great oval. 150 feet long and
100 feet wide, as the central picture.
In the center of (bis oval is erected a

stati t tbi g lessof Mower,, in heroic

size. Flanking tin, oval on the north
and south, are two great, collections, tri-
angular in form. Scores of other col-
lections laid out in plots of ground in
various shapes, but all conforming with
the general harmony of (be main
picture, have been provided. A bell of
green lawn, from four to eight feet wide,
surrounds each exhibit.

For each exhibit an excavation eight-

required for the collection, was dug in
the sticky clay soil. Then the ex-
cavations were filled in with rich top
soil and sandy loam and a dressing of
fertilizer was worked in. Good growth
has already been made. Most of the
sorts planted are hardj here with very
-liidd protection in winter.

The planting was done under the per-
sonal supervision of Joseph H. Had-
kinson. who under Frederic W. Taylor,
Chief of Horticulture, has charge of
this outdoor exhibit.

CARNATION NOTES-EAST.

Compressed Air.

I .11.1 not in the habit of writing to
am great extent on theory, but as the
subject of compressed air has come up.
you will please bear with me while I
make some suppositions and ask a few
questions regarding its use in the car-
nation house. After what has been said,
the first question would seem to be
whether warm or perfectly cold air
should be employed.

Now what, may I ask, is perfectly
cold air? When speaking of heat and
cold, we generally define the degree of
either by the Fahrenheit system of meas-
uring temperature. The term perfectly
cold would seem to infer as cold as pos-
sible-, but I cannot believe that to be
Mr. Capers' intention in his article of
last week.

For illustration, what, in your opin-
ion, would be the effect of a blast of
air at a temperature of 40 degrees
among a bench of Lawson plants in a
house where the thermometer stood at
70 degrees?

Heavy syringing as usual in the rose
house is generally accepted by carnation
growers as harmful, in that" the bluish
sheen is removed from the foliage.

It is probably unnecessary for me to
tell you that the effect of warm and
cold air coming suddenly in contact, i-
to produce til. Mine. In view of this,
would not a stream of air at 40 de-
grees, driven with sufficient force to dis-
lodge red spider on plants in a tempera-
ture of 70 degrees, with the moisture
produced be apt to remove the bloom
from the foliage?

It makes much difference in the effect
of the application of water to the foliage
when the manner of applying is consid-
ered. A gentle shower over the plants
on mornings of bright days is very bene-
ficial, but rose growers, of course, are
differently inclined from no matter of
choice.

It is not my object to criticise Mr.
Capers" views, for he frankly states he
is not well versed in the carnation ; be-
sides, there is another side to the ques-
tion and I believe there is some merit
in the use of compressed air and later
shall endeavor, if the subject is further
discussed, to bring out its possible ad-
vantages.

Plants in the field require close at-
tention at this time in the matter of
topping, as the foundation of the future
plant must now be laid. This applies
especially to those which were once or
twice topped in the house.

Particular attention should be paid
to those varieties inclined to come in
crops. Topping at frequent intervals,
instead of making a one day job of it
once in two weeks or so, will tend to
make the blooms come along more con-

tinuously. I do not say more flowers
will be produced during the season, but
do claim the same number produced con-
tinuously during several months is more
conducive to better average prices than
to have a glut one week followed by a
scarcity for several weeks following.

Cultivation between the rows with a
hand cultivator and also with a hand
lioe around the plants must be kept up
to break the surface soil, which becomes
packed or crusted by rain or heavy
dews. Geo. S. Osbobn.

GLOXINIAS.

Will you kindly outline for me the
culture of gloxinias, from planting the
bulbs to flowering time? R. E. L.

This inquiry reminds me that it was
on this very subject some twelve years
ago that I volunteered a few remarks in
the llorieultural press. If they had been
rejected, how much more time I would
have had to attend base ball, and how
few of my brother florists I should have
known, so I am glad things are as they

Any lengthy remarks on the culture of
gloxinias would be now rather unseason-
able, as there is now nothing left but
summer care. Gloxinias are easily raised
from seed, but make only small bulbs
the firsi year, and the retail grower can

do much better by buying the one-year-
old bulbs from a firm that makes a spe-
cialty of raising i them. They can be
started in 3-inch pots in February or
later. They are really a summer-flower-
ing plant and make a fine window or
conservatory plant when flowering plants
are rather scarce in July and August.
Use a rather light soil, with well rotted
manure or leaf mold added. When the
leaves about cover the pot the plant
should be shifted into a 5-inch, the
flowering pot. Let the soil be a good
loam with a third leaf mold, and if
you can't get that, then old, rotted
hot-bed mold will do. They are not
particular about soil. They want air,
and if you want to do them real well,
after they are shifted into the flowering
pot, stand each plant on another in-
verted pot. Never spray them, and
avoid as much as possible wetting the
foliage. They are a tropical plant, and
from the starting of the bulb until the
resting time in fall and winter the tem-
perature should not Ik- l.eh.w ,"i0 degrees.
It is a rather particular plant abou1
water. If allowed to get dr,\ the flowers
wilt and that ends them, and if over-
watered they get rusty. Careful water-
ing and just a subdued light, but not a
heavj -hade are the most particular
points in their culture.

DUTCH HYACINTHS FOR FORCING.

Will you please give the names of the
Dutch hyacinths of each color that are
best suited for forcing. Last year I left
this to the seedsman, but noticed some
of his assortment forced a great deal
better than others. I would like to have
some ready by the middle of February,
and some at Easter. F. S.

There is not much choice as to earli-
ness among the hyacinths, but some va-
rieties, if forced for February flowers,
would have very short stems. In the
first place, don't bother with the yellows
at all and force only the single varie-
ties. Here are half a dozen in each color
that will fill the bill, all splendid va-
rieties :

Red and rose. Baron Van Tuyll. rose;
Gertrude, deep rose ; Gigantea, blush :
Lord Macaulay. bright red ; Norma,
pink : Roi de Beiges, deep red.

White, Alhertine. Baroness Van Tuyll,
Grand Vedette. LTnnocenee, Mme. Van
der Hoop and La Grandesse, all pure
white.

Blue. Charles Dickens, pale blue; Czar
Peter, porcelain: Grand Lilas, porce-
lain; King of the Blues, dark blue:
Grand Maitre, pale blue; Pieneman, deep
porcelain.

King of the Blues is one of the finest
hyacinths of its color but should not be
forced before March.

William Scott.

PIPING.

In reply to the inquiry of
Subscriber, for the effective heating of
the carnation house 200x23 which he
describes in sketch accompanying his
inquiry, using steam heat, he will re-
quire "ten lines of 1-inch pipe and three
lines of lj-inch pipe arranged as shewn
in the accompanying cut. If hot water
be used4 using 2-inch pipes, fourteen
lines, as shown in the accompanying
sketch, will be required. The arrange
ment of the main depends largely on
the location oi the boiler and the lirec
tion and extent of any grade within
the house. Henry W. Gibbons,,

RETARDING NARCISSUS AND
VALLEY.

What is the best method of retarding
Paper White narcissus bulbs for late
planting? Will they stand cold storage?
Would like to know the proper tempera-
ture to keep lily of the valley pips in
cold storage, also the method of forcing
same. S. S. P.

The proper temperature in which to
keep lily of the valley roots during sum-
mer to retard them is about 29 or 30
degrees. If a degree above the freezing
point, they will start, and if kept too
cold for any length of time, they lose
their strength and the flower spike will
perish. S. S. P. asks "also method of
forcing same." Does he mean flower-
ing them during summer, which is the
reverse of forcing, or winter forcing?
If the latter is meant, then I must refer
him to the pages of the Review of last
December, where he will find the subject
in detail. If summer forcing is meant,
it i- simply to put the roots in six inches
of sand, shade the glass over them, and
don't let any draughts from doors be
near them. Give them, of course, plentj
of water, keeping the water away from
the hells after they are turning white.

Tulip Beds at Humboldt Park, Chicago, in 1903. A Departure from the Usual Forms of Beds

Now about the Paper White n.u. 1--11-
We have never tried to keep them after
the winter months and will candidly say
that I don't evei expa i to, bei ausi ii
would never pay. It's entirely different
with these true bulbs, like hyacinths,
nan-i-su- and tulips, liecausc they must
be rooted before they will flower. Some
years ago we had a" fancy that a batch
■ i Von Sion narcissus would be very-
useful for Memorial day. and so tiny
proved, but somehow we seem to have
more flowers at our disposal nowaday-
and can do without them.

Here is how I managed to have the
Von Sion on May 30. They were put
in Hats in October jus! tin- same as those
\\.' forced during winter. About the
first of April, or before they had felt the
influence of spring and tin- growth of
the 1 >i 1 1 1 >— was perhaps two inches above
the soil, the fiats were removed to a
neighbor's ice house. The temperature
was about 36 degrees. There they re-
mained until seven or eight davs before
we wanted the flowers. ' By thai time
they looked like third ola-- celery, well
bleached, and bad grown four or rive
inches, but seemed none the worse foi it.
They opened up into flower almost in
forty-eight hour-, but with shading we
kept them in good order. I would not
think of trying to keep any of these
bulbs beyond their natural flowering
time unless it was for some special oc-
casion that they were desired, bin if it

WESTWARD HO!

Or How to Go to Milwaukee.

When 1 bad the pleasure of spending a
day in Detroit recently the subjeei came
up among the craft of how the eastern
men were going to travel to the fair city
on the western shore of Lake Michigan,
and 1 think Brother Raekham said he
intended to do all in the informing line
lie could.

A New Yorker or Boston man has the
idea that when lie is as far we-t as
Poughkeepsie or Springfield, respective-
ly, he i- "out west." As Gurney Hill
-aid at Pittsburg, a few years ago, when
the Carnation Society decided to go to
the beautiful city of Indianapolis, "We
are not west, but we are a very good
place t" rail at when you're •_: ■ ■ i 1 1 u west."
So Buffalo is very much east, ami so is
Detroit.

Chicago and Milwaukee are on the
eastern edge of the middle west. All
these and many more arc potts of the
inland fresh water sea-, but you must
have plenty of time to go by an all-
water route from Buffalo to Milwaukee
— about three days — and it's mure than
the busy florist can afford. Mr. Rack-
ham will tell you of the manv railroad-
that will carry you to Detroit and thru
across Michigan to a point on Pake
Michigan, and then a boat ride across
the lake will land you in Milwaukee.
Ml thai I will have to Mr. Raekham.

Here is what can be done from Buf-
falo, which will take in a lake ride.
rhei ■ i- a magnificenf -tenner leaving
Buffalo every day at 5:30 p. m. and ar-
il ins al Detroit at aboul S a. m. From

Milwaukee, either day or night. To take
tbi- trin von would have to lie in Buf-
falo before 5:30 n. m. on the Sunday
before the convention, and that is slight-
ly awkward, i- mi -t of the fast trains
on the Yew York Central Lackawanna.
I.ehidi Valley and Pennsvlvania leave
the large eastern cities in the oarlv
morning and do not arrive in Buffalo
in time to take that boat.

S - now. ladies and gentlemen, to enjoy
the midsummer ride on Lake Frie from
Buffalo to Detroit it would be best to

leave your homes on Saturday evening.

city, and start awaj on Sunday evening
for Detroit. For the benefit' of John
Westeott or P. Welch I will inform you
on request of the most fashionable places
of worship, or give you any other infor-
mation thai will assist you to enjoy
your visit. A Sunday in Buffalo will
not be .wasted time, as it is quiet and

the prominent retailers had little sun-
shine amid the gloom. All manner of
schemes were n-urted to to tempt the
sizzling transient. One plan that seemed
to work was a window full of dollar
boxes all ready to "send to any part of
the city." These were nicely arranged
with ferns, spring flowers, two or three
peonies and a dozen fine roses — about a
$5 box in winter — and they seemed to go
"like hot cakes," this, too,, on "dear old
Broadway," and right in the center of
it. But with 5,000 good roses of all
kinds going begging for $10 the excel-
lence of the enterprise is clear.

Now comes Decoration day, with its
usual uplifting, and a better condition
of things should follow, for the "sweet
girl graduates" will soon be in evidence,
and June, with its weddings, is close at
hand. They say it will be a great June
in this respect, 'and the engagements for
decorative skill are large and numerous
already.

Various Notes.

Thomas Young, Jr., had an exten-ivo
decoration last week at the Morris Park
Coaching Club's rooms, consisting of
thirty-six fine center piece- for the tables,
all in the club colors, and in which ma-
roon, yellow, primrose and red predomin-
ated. " C oi sages and boutonnierc- were
made to match the table colors, and
every table was unique. The cost of
such a handsome function touched the
four figure- and was worth it.

Robert Llddell. cashier for Peter Hen-
derson & Co. during the last thirty
years, died suddenly on Thursday la-t of
pneumonia. He left his desk in his usual
health on Tuesday. Mr. Liddell was 75
year- of age. and a gentleman of ability,
popular among bis associates and greatly
esteemed bv his employers. His daugh-
ter is the wife of John Birnie, of Wesi
Hoboken. N. J'. The funeral on Satur-

At Elliott's the usual large attend
ance on auction days demonstrates the
benefit of control. To have no opposi-
tion in any enterprise comes under the
head of "snaps." Prices hold up well
and the amount of stock disposed of is
large. Next Tuesday at these rooms the
fine palms offered by David Clarke's Sons
will be disposed of.

John Seott, of Brooklyn, will have no
auction this year, as has been his cus-
tom. The demand for Bostons is as great
as ever, he says, although he is now of-
fering some line 2}-ineii stock of Pier-
soni, as well. His canna collection com-
prises twenty-seven of the best varieties.
Mr. Seott will add two large houses to
his plant this summer.

Mr. Keller, of Reed & Keller, is back
from a five week-' trip through New
England and eastern Canada. He re-
ports a great demand for Decoration daj

The office of the New York Cut Flower
Company, in the Coogan building, is be-

L. J. Kreshover is still shipping a fine
quality of wild smilax all over the coun-

even in the north.

Fellouris has a fine stock on hand for

to six million leaves, and 300,000 leu-
cothoe sprays. His facilities for pre-
serving tins stock are complete.

J. I. Raynor finds Croweanum as popu-
lar as ever, although the abundance of
shipments and general lassitude of the
season has placed the price at present
at $1 per 100.

Macv has added a flower department to
the new store on Thirty-fourth street,
the influence of which may be slightly
felt by neighboring retail florists, al-
though Mr. Bowe. who is the nearest
neighbor, does not notice any diminu-
tion in the aggregate of sales to date.
After all, these department flower stores
are only educators and do less harm
than good. The new store now being
built by Henry Siegel is to have a fine
conservatory on its roof, a la Blooming-
dale.

give value to patrons is the whole story
in a nutshell, and on that basis Mr.
Pierson has disseminated his wonderful
fern and the total sales have exceeded
all expectations, but it is nothing to
what the bouse anticipates and is pro-
viding for another season. The present
prices will be maintained until January,
and the stock ready for immediate de-
livery is abundant and in good condition.
Another medal, the silver one of the San
Francisco flower show, was won by Pier-
soni this month. Mr. Pierson has great
faith in the future of the fern, and large
advance sales at present prices indicate
a tremendous demand when the price is
lowi red another year. All the houses at
Tarrytown are full of it, and thousands
of plant- in 6-inch to 8-ineh pots are be-
ing made ready for the retail demand
in September. Mr. Pierson's immense
bouse at Scarboro will be, devoted entire-
ly to Piersoni this fall. The improve-
ments at the nursery there, in grading
and beautifying the property, are very
evident, and the splendid stock of palms,
bay tree., fancy evergreens, tree rhodo-
dendron-, tub hydrangeas, etc.. is worth
inspection by every florist in the land.

The club's outing is now an assured
success A much larger souvenir pro-
gramme than last season's is in the
hands of the publishers. The advertis-
ing patronage has been very liberal, the
supply of prizes is most generous, every
preparation is complete, and July 1 will
see a record crowd. In fact, every mem-
ber of the club who can spare the time
has already sent in an acceptance of Mr.
Traendly's official invitation. If those
who have not yet sent orders to him for
tickets will do so at once, it will greatly
facilitate final arrangements for refresh-
ments and accommodations and be much
appreciated by the committee.

The Market.

The excessive drought has seriously af-
fected the outdoor flowers, so that those
ordinarily used this week are scarce and
poor. This lias greatly helped the sale
of our greenhouse product. Prices have
uei advanced, but business is active.
Beauties are less plentiful, especially
fancies. Brides and Maids are poor —
too much hot weather has hurt them.
Kai-erins are fine. Carnations are of
excellent quality and plentiful. One
large dealer is receiving twice as many
as at this time last 3Tear. Peonies are
nearly over. It will be hard to get any

door ones are beginning to appear. Val-
ley has sold well. Greens are rather

William J. Baker has had a steady
supply of the beautiful lace fern during
Me season, and expects to have it
throughout the summer. It is a scarce
fern, very decorative, and commands a
ice in this market. A. & G. Ros-
bacb. of Pemberton, N. J., are the grow-
ers and their specialty must be seen to
lie appreciated. The Dreer company
handle- many of the young plants.

The Market.
The trade in the cut flower line during
the past week was \<t\ unsatisfactory.
The weather was cloudy and threaten-
ing, with cool nights; still this did not
have any effect on the supply and every-
thing in the cut flower line is plentiful,
and the retailers can get any amount of
good stock at very reasonable rates. If
the supply keeps up, which no doubt it
will, Decoration day orders will be filled
in full. Several big orders have been
booked ahead and quite a good trade is
expected. Decoration day is not so much
thought, of in the wot as it is in the
east, where the florists look upon it as
a big day for them. Some of the West
End florists report that they have
booked orders for a number of June
weddings and that a large amount of
flowers will be used on these occasions.
A few of them will use sweet peas ex-
clusively, and some good work can be
made of them, as they are now in full
bloom.

The rose market the past week was at
its full height. Plenty of good stock
went to waste for want of demand and
cheap prices still prevailed. The qual-
ity of the stock is very good, with little
or no mildew. American Beauties are
not coming in as well as they have been,
shipped in stock being open and soft.
Local -foik is. of course, much better
and has the call. Meteors and Liberties
that come in open over night on the way.
M;i id- and Golden (Int.- come in better
condition. Perles are very soft. Prices
remain as quoted last week. In fact,
the demand was so erratic that no fixed
price was set on them.

Carnation- are in better demand than
roses, Imt so many of them came in that
the price went a- lov as 40 eents per
100 on common sorts. Two cents was a
big price, and only the l>est fancies
brought that price;' $1 buys 100 good

carnations. White has the best call, as
a big lot of funeral work was made up
throughout the city. Crocker is much
sought after now for its keeping quali-
ties.

Sweet peas are in full blast and are
selling well at 40 and 60 cents per 100.
Tracy has the best call, with white next
and 'then lavender. Other colors are
not in much favor. Some good valley
was seen Saturday at Kuehn's. Out-
door stuff, such as iris, peonies, mar-
guerites and pansies, are quite plentiful,
with a slow demand. Cape jasmines are
now in and by Memorial day will he
very plentiful, price $1 per 100. Perns
were somewhat scarce the past week and
only a very few fancies in the market,
i illinium dagger ferns are now mostly
used. Smilax is somewhat better in sup-
ply and some good, long strings were in
the market last week.
Notes.
The growers have about finished their
3'edding work, although a few stragglers
will keep coming and prolong the work
for a week or so longer. The better and
larger work has been don.', with prices,
tiny say, somewhat better than last
year. Stock of all kinds has sold well.
Union Market is still doing a fair trade
in pot plants and the growers will send
in their left-overs as long as the trade
keeps up.

E. W. Guy. of Belleville, was in town
Friday buying supplies. Mr. Guy re-
ports a. fine plant trade this season.

Dr. Halste.lt, of the St. Clair Floral

CHICAGO.

The Market,

The week did not open to the ati
faction of local wholesalers. Receipts
continue beavj and quality is deterioral
ing rapidly, particularly in roses. Beau-
ties continue of fair grade for the sea-
son and supplies in all lengths are
greater than the demand, with the re-
sult that even the best stock moves
slowly and the fakirs afford the only
outlet for the bulk of the receipts. Tea
roses show the effects of the weather in
a marked degree, and it is necessary to
sort over a thousand to get out a hun-
dred which will stand shipment, with the
inevitable result that the remaining 900
bring very little. There are some very
".nnd Liberties and Cbatenav.

Carnations hold their quality much
better than roses and then- is some very
good stock available, but there ore quan-
tities that are very small and badly
faded. Sleepiness is also a pronounced
characteristic of much of the stock.

Peonies are coming in heavily, but
a great deal of the southern cut is of
poor quality. At Klehm's Nursery they
are fifteen days ahead of the average
season. Sweet peas are selling slowly
and pansies do not move. There is
ing of a let-up in the receipts of
Easter lilies, which the change to warm
weather brought on with a value-destroy-
ing rush a few days ago.

There is some good business booked
for the last three days ,,f the Week.

The Market.

The glutted conditi .: -till exists in
this market and the demand for stock is
limited, for business is only fair. The
question with the wholesalers and grow-
ers is how to get rid of the stock. Prices
do not seem to enter into any considera-
tion when quantity is wanted, as one
can buy large lots at his own figure.

CLEVELAND.

The Market.

The wholesale market has been
flooded with good stock of roses in all
varieties, while white carnations have
been a good second; consequently the
prices have eased up a little, the top
price in roses being $6, and from that
down to $1 a hundred, and in 1.000 lots
even that price is shaded. Carnations
rule from $1 to $3 for fancy varieties.
A few lilies are seen, also some out-
door valley, which brings a fine price.
Sweei peas are scarce, only a few
growers forcing them here. Common
ferns air short at $2 per 1.000. Good
adiantum brings $1 per 100, galax, $1
per 1.000.

Among the Growers.

A recent visit to Isaac Kennedy's new

place at West Park, a pretty suburb of
Cleveland, and on the Linsdale car line.
found Mr. Kennedy in the midst of
building operations. Three modern
even span houses, running east and west.
are going up. These houses are open
under the gutter, making them prac-
tically one house, and covering about
9,000 square feet of ground. Mr. Ken-
r 1 1 ■ 1 1 \ is a very tall man. and did not
propose I" bump his head on those
gutters. The boiler house is on the
north side of the greenhouses, thus
avoiding any shade on the glass; it is
a fine building and covers a large
tubular boiler with a capacity for three
times i In' in. —nt amount of glass. On
enterine the boiler room, the first thing

Hell

It is built of brick and will certainly
last a life time. These houses will be
planted with roses before June 1 and
should do well, as Mr. Kennedy has as
fine a rose soil as the writer has ever
seen, and his whole place seems to be
of the same quality.

A trip to Newburgh, with a stop at
Geo. Jewett's place at 1338 Broadway,
found everything looking good, except
Mr. Jewett, who has been confined to
his bed for the past weeks with typhoid
fever, but be is improving and expects
to be back in the store in a few days.
Mr. Jewett grows bedding plants and
a genera] variety of flowers, and has

;i \.i\ g 1 trade in all lines.

The next call was on J. M. Strajcek,
near the corner of Wilson and Broad-
way, where he is located in a very nice
store, and reports a good trade in cut
lli. w, is, plants, and funeral work.

The next jump was a long one to
P.. II. Hoffman's place on Miles avenue,
Newburgh. where he has a large place
devoted to nil flowers and plants grown
for the wholesale trade. Property in
this section of the city is booming, and
a- Mr. Hoffman has a large frontage
on Miles avenue, he is seriously think-
ing of laying a part of it out into
building lots.

A short walk took us to Mr. Bumd's
place, where we found everything in

of carnations and mums.

The last rail was on Mi. Kunze; that
gentleman was found worrying because
it had not rained for the past two
weeks, his soil being the kind that
hakes hard, and is almost impossible
to work, once it gets dry. He wants to
gel his carnal ions planted out. His
-lock is in first class -hapo. and he is

i; Addicott i- Son, of Hayden avenue,
East Cleveland, will build quite an ad-
dition to their already large plant, and
will grow more roses and carnations.
Thev are sending in some very fine
Brides and Maids to The F. R. Wil-
liams Co. They have just finished
planting 15,000 fine carnation plants
in the field and, like the other growers,
are looking for rain. E.

Dover. Del. — T. J. Von Reider reports
trade on Easter stock as very satisfac-
tory, there having been more call for
pot plants than for cut flowers, although
there was a fair sale on both. Mr. Von
Reider has a new seedling rose, a cross
between Kaiserin and Perle, that is a
delicate pink and very fragrant. He.be-

The Drought.
,\ passing cloud ami a few drops of
lain I his morning gladdened our spirits
for hali an hour, but it passed without
even laving the dust and we continue
to suffer. We have recollections of dry
times in July and August that have been
worse than this one. but somehow it fit-
ted the season of the year and nothing
suffered. The six weeks of sunshine have
I eenlj felt on the farms and gar-
dens. Residents of cities do not realize
it, for thev have the hose and faucet,
but the villager sees the grass burning
up, the grain scarcely moving, trans-
planted trees and shrubs wilting, the
young carnations planted three weeks
ago burning up and lots of other things
that makes him sigh. If he goes down to
the creek he will find it reduced to little
pools here and there, and struggling for
existence little pickerel and pollywogs
ami many other creatures that must
have water or die. But we shall get over
all this and forget it.

The Market.
Business has been fairly good and
flowers quite plentiful. Outdoor valley
i- .j , which -hows how early this sea-
son is. Lilac is gone and about all the
outdoor stuff for Decoration day will be
peonies, and they are quite a help. What
with the Long 'island and New Jersey
crop and then our home grown, the sea-
son of the peony lasts some time. Plant
men are very busy. The usual amount
of flower gardening will be done, but no
abnormal increase, and I see nothing
unusual in any feature of the demand.
It is the same' old thing, except that the
verv artificial hanging basket is fast
going out and but few are now asked
for.

Visitors.
We have sadly missed out of town vis-
itors of late. ' In fact, we have been
quite lonesome, but there was an oasis
in the dull times in the shape of August
Rhotert and his representative, Mr.
Knhkinan. We have done business for
years with Mr. Rhotert. but never saw
'this well groomed man in the flesh. It
is good for a customer to know with
whom he is dealing. Then when he
reads his letters he can read better be-
tween the lines. Mr. Rhotert might be
taken for the third assistant secretary
of the treasury and is business from the
word "go." W. S.

Bridgeport, Conn.— G. B. Whitehead
has sold out to Keith & Jackson.

Ft. Wayne, Ino. — Mrs. Wm. Paap,
wife of the foreman at the city green-
house, died May 18. aged 61 years.

Montreal, Que.— On May 18 fire de-
stroved a barn belonging to Aaron Mar-
tin & Sons, at Cote St. Paul, causing

carnation plants in the fields. W. E.
Hall says trade in bedding plants has
also been slow because of the drought.
He is thinking of dropping plants al-
together and confining his efforts to cut
flowers.

HOW TO GROW IT.
FULLY ILLUSTRATED.

By C. W. WARD.

A PRACTICAL work on Carnation grow-
ing: complete in every particular,
including the full calendar of operations
for the year, with chapters on Soils. Ferti-
lizers. Insects. Diseases. Heating. Each and
every phase of commercial Carnation culture
treated clearly and comprehensively. The
book contains 290 large pages, finely printed.
It should be in the hands or every grower.

CAPACITY OF BOILER.

I have a two 10-inch Hue boiler,
thirty-two inches in diameter, sixteen
io,-t long. Can I heal with it. by hot
water, three greenhouses, each 20x80
feet, glass in ends, nunc on sides. The
houses ore builf together on the ridge
and furrow plan. < » m- outside house
i- used for lettuce, the other for carna-

i -. and middle house for a general

line of bedding plants. How many feet
■ it _' inch pipe musi 1 use in ;i coil
boiler to heat these houses in case of
e rgency. J. V. K.

The boiler described will have ample
capacity for heating the three houses
each 20x80 feet. A coil boiler made up
of 2-inch pipes, foi heating the above
houses should contain about 100 lineal
feet of 2-inch pipes.

tva le. Okra comes almosl exclusively
from Georgia. Georgia largely controls
Bur clover and Mexican June corn mar-
ket. Let me say that the Bur clover as
gtown in this state is the genuine article,
arid not that which California sends out
as Bur clover. Just about Augusta, too,
I believe is grown the best watermelon
'■ced in the United States. We have
originated some of the best melons in the
country — Rattlesnake. Eden, Blue Gem.
Sugar Loaf and .Tones. I would rather
pay double price for Augusta melon seed,
as compared with Florida seed. The
Whole state of Florida gets from the
ocean and gulf daily, and almost contin-
ually, salt breezes. Salt is absolutely
ruinous to the taste of watermelon. No
sweet melons can he grown near a salt
coast anywhere. Let me say, too, that
Oklahoma and far northwest melon seed
are apt to have in the south white hearts
and do' not ripen. I have seen melon
shippers lose thousands of dollars by us-
ing western watermelon seed. Georgia,
I believe, leads, too. in her cotton seed.
This state has furnished almost exclu-
sively for ten years and more the United
States government with its cotton seed
for free distribution. Texas comes to
this state for large amounts of cotton
seed, especially since her cottons seem to

The Weekly Florists' Review*

BALTIMORE.

After a day or two of sweltering
we have had a copious shower
of rain and a great fall in the tempera-
ture. Tlir parched soil i- now workable

and on every side delayed operations are
being pushed forward to catch up, it
possible, the time lost in outdoor nrork
by the enforced idleness due to the

drought.

i treat an ivals of cut flowei - make the
daily history of the market, the quality,
unfortunately, not comparing vitli the
quantity. A very considerable outlet
was made last week by the floral decor-
ations lavished at our city hall upon
some new municipal officers and the re-
cently elected council. This work was
widely distributed and absorbed a muni
deal of material of all grades.

Decoration day has not heretofore
been much of a florists' day in this lati-
tude, the holiday coming at a time when
hardy stuff is so abundant: but there is
a disposition now to extend the custom
of decorating with garlands and flowers
the graves of others than soldier-. This
should enlarge the demand foT a better
class of material. The use of plants,
which prevails at the north, is practi-
cally unknown here on Memorial hi,

The illness of Alexander Scott." re-
ported last week, grew more serious,
and that gentleman has gone to his
brother's in Buffalo. X. Y. All who
came in contact with him in his business
career here are sincere in wishing him
early and complete restoration to health.

Chatham, X. Y.— This vicinity is

greatly in need of rain, but most of the
growers have all their carnations out-
doors. R. K. Shuphelt finished field
planting May 9.

A LILY CUSTOMER.

I recently had a customer llial \
must tell you about. She wanted a
lily plant and I told her the price was
15 cents a flower and as she seemed
to be counting nickels I found one with
two flowers for her. She then inquired
whether other flowers would appear be-
tween each leaf down the stem, lasting
■ lining the year, and how to start the
plant again next year. She finally
handed me 15 cents and when T told her
the price was 30 cents, 15 cents Eoi
each flower, she dropped the plant and
started off delivering a lecture on the
sin of asking such enormous prices. I
hope florists in other cities have not
many such customers. We have many
of that type here, unfortunately.

A Wisconsin florist has a muscular

faction when she cannot collect anything
else from parties owing large overdue
accounts. According to the Marinette
Star she met the debtor in a bank just
as I,, was cashing a check, and asked
him for an old account of $45. Having
seen him receive cash on his check she
cast 'build upon his statement that he
didn't have the money, and when he at-

I The 1903 Duplex Gutter

IS THE ONLY GUTTER.

To see it in a house is a sure winner and
will set aside the prejudices you may have
against cast iron gutters. This is not a cast
iron gutter. None other gives the same results.
No drip from glass or gutter. '[Never breaks
by sagging posts, unequal strains or Thigh
winds. Straight as a string. Less shade
than any7other. Adjustable to any size glass.

Post sockets clamp on posts and gutter. A
bench under the gutter is the best place to
grow flowers and plants in the house. Patents
protect the DUPLEX, one gutter under the
other. Do not condemn the DUPLEX
because you are dissatisfied with your cast iron
gutter. The DUPLEX has not the faults you
find with your cast iron gutter.

It has! been estimated that between
S.ooo.ooo and 10,000,000 persons in the
United States take a vacation every sum-
mer. They spend^between $400,000,000
and $500,000,000 yearly in pursuit of
pleasure. This.is a great deal of money
to spend during a vacation, but this sea-
son the expenditure per capita may be
somewhat less on account of the low rail-
road rates offered by the Chicago, Mil-
waukee & St. Paul Railway.

From July 1 to 10 this line will sell
tickets to "Colorado'1 and return from
Chicago for S25. This will enable many
to enjoy their summer's outing at slight
expense. Colorado resorts are cooler

SIMPLE FLORAL ARRANGEMENTS.

The florist who is required to pro-
duce certain formal designs is likely to
grow weary of a repetition of the same
forms, and to attempt to introduce va-
riations into his work. These, if artis-
tically done, are noticed, commented on
and appreciated by his patrons.

The engraving shows how the ordi-
nary three links of the Odd Fellows was
added to with this end in view, without
losing sight of the main feature of the
emblem, or necessitating the use of a
label to tell what it was meant to be.

Two of the links were made of yellow
carnations and one of pink, and these
were attached to a base of natural cycas
leaves, while a spray <>r cluster of Perle
des Jardins roses was introduced al one
end. and a bow of light green Liberty
satin ribbon was added to the whole.

answer. Tin foil being no longer the

Seasonable Hints,
white rose Ivory which I h
studying during the past sea

plants must have been caused by over-
propagation, and also by subjecting the
parent plants to a high temperature in
order to obtain propagating \\ood. The
reason why I come to tliis conclusion is
that the young Ivory stock • f our ohm
propagation this season shows quite a
different character and is quite as strong
and vigorous as Golden Gate, and no
doubt the\ will continue to gain in vi-
tality as thej increase in size. From
this 'it will be seen thai it would be un-
fair to attribute any tailing in produc-
tiveness to the variety, but rather to the
weakened condition of the stock.

During the fall and early winter the
majority of our [vories wen. neither
large enough nor strong enough to give
first-class blooms, hut they evidenced a
free blooming character. With the ad
vent of spring, they began to push up
strong canes, which budded freely and
produced high-grade blooms of a daz
zling whiteness and which proved to be
good keepers and shippers. True, a
proportion of them are a little sparse in
foliage, like the parent. Golden Gate,
but this is almost confined to the strong-
est canes, which, by judicious manipu-
lation in stopping and care in feeding.
■ an be made to develop more luxuriant
foliage.

Liquid feeding has .1 tendency to in
creasi the grossness and softness of
these 1 . iocs at the expense of good foli-
age and should be very sparingly used.
A slight top dressing of bone meal and
lime alternately gives the leaves a better
texture. and makes the canes come closer

the stem.

Solid Beds Versus Benches.

In a short time repairing and build-
ing benches will be the occupation of
many florists. Luckj i- the man whose
style of house allows him to have his
beds on the ground or near it. Mr.
Baur, under the head of "Carnation
\ni,.-." has written some very sensible
articles about solid beds for carnations;
and if I repeat in some degree what
he has already said I must, ask yotl to
excuse me.

Except for bedding plants and small
plants in pots, the days oi raised
wooden benches are, I believe, num-
bered. Where houses are built, say, 19
to 22 feet wide, with wooden walls
five feet high and the pipes beneath (In-
side benches, you could not do without
the raised bench unless it were in the
center of the house, and the old style
of long span to the south will admit
only of raised benches. But these house-
are fasl being superseded bv houses like

Mr. Pierson's, at Scarboro, or tho f

Ernst \-mu-. of N. h Jersey, which are
-dine 55 feel wide, with the glass within
two feet of the ground; or by another
style much more common, viz.: a range
of houses, each house 16 to 20 feet wide,
all connected, with tm partition-, cut-

to

and supported by a 2-inch pipe or iron
post. In neither of these two -tyles of
houses is there the slightest excuse for
having raised benches.

When I first saw carnations grown
in beds, the surface of which were not
over nine inches above the walk-. I
thought it must be a back-break inr i i.
to weed or attend them, but you soon
get over that, and with many varieties

they will by spring be i e convenient

to disbud and tie than those on benches
two and a half feet, above the ground.
Nine inches is, however, a little low. 1
would, say, haw the surface of the beds
one foot ,i, fifteen inches above the

anient loi carnations, and for rosea it
is just th. thing, for before ball' hie

attention is just up to your hand-.

The wooden bench is a nuisance all
around. If built of pine or hemlock
and saturated with crude oil. or given
a eoat of water lime (hydraulic cement)
they will last only five or six years. If
all the boards would rot out at once
it. would be more satisfactory. Then
it would be a clean job of building a
new bench. But that is not the case:

'lies. 1 believe 1-inch board- -up-

■ mi crop thai nerd- tour or five inches
"i -ml on the bench T believe in lixii
planks for bottom of bench, allowing.
of course, a space of three-fourths of
an inch for drainage.

Many people arc under the impression
that lumber shrink- in the summer and
swells in the winter. If in both sea-
sons they are protected from -now- or
rain, it, is just the reverse of Ibi-.
'there i- more moisture in the a.tmo-

snhi re in summer and i he least di e

the !,..,.! frost, and then i- when lumber

boards at least two years longer than
they would last without it. We mix
the lime in a pail and spread it on the
boards with a whitewash brush. You
will notice that the board- or planks
nearly always go .'first where they rest
on the cross piece of scantling, or where

w I touches wood, so put Hi.- cement

lieiw on the top of the cross pieces
and on the under side oj the board
before you nail it down. Dipping or
even painting the board- with crude oil
is -aid to he an excellent preventive
of decay, but f have had no experience
with it.

Those who can get cypress lumber at
anything near the price of pine or hem-
lock should, of course, use it. We all
know how durable it is. Tamarack, the
American larch, which is closely allied
to the southern cypress, both being de-
ciduous conifers, is also far more dur-
able than pine, but in many localities
these cost too much, although I am not
sine that cypress boards would cost any
more than pine of the same quality.
Our northern forests are nearly gone
and the beautiful tariff prevents us
from getting lumber from Canada, and
the freight from the south makes it,
high, -o we arc paying just about double
the price for pine and hemlock board-
that, we did ten years ago. Of course
it protects (?) the man with the ax
and saw in the woods and incidentally
puts millions into the pockets of (In
few lucky oin- who own the standing
timber.

Now for these beds which I so thor
oughly believe in for tlie commercial
grower. In the first place, raising
benches for the purpose of getting them
near the glass for increased light is
fudge of the first water. Tf you have
unobstructed light the plant will have
as much lieht fifty feet from the glass
as five feet or five inches. Solid bed-.
in which you have prepared six inches
of -oil placed en the floor of the house,
I have no faith in. Or it may be six
inches of soil and beneath it the nat-
ural soil dug or plowed a foot deep.
That is truly a solid bed. This style of
bed will grow roses and carnation-. ,,i
mums, but not of the right quality.

A little experience is best of all. Two
houses of American Beauties were
planted late last. fall. One was on what
is known a- hollow buck. The bricks
were placed on the floor of the house,
which is quite dry. Tin- other had two
niche- oi coal ashes ami limn four inches
,f -oil. Both have grown about the
same, and I may add that each has
made mme thin 'an ordinary strength
of growth, yd i should nol have used
the coal ashes << I could have afforded
more of the hollow bricks, for I ecu
-idcr them (be very perfection for the
bottom of a bed. A bench of Kaiserin
was planted last May on hollow bricks
and made a fair growth. After a rest
of three months this past winter thev
have given us a crop of flowers that
rather surpasses in quality anything I
have seen, and 1 feci sure that, with an

comes to taking out and removing your
soil it is not nearly so pleasant " and
satisfactory a job. These hollow bricks,
which are thirteen inches long, five
inches wide and four inches high, are
laid as close as we can get them, mak-
ing a solid floor. Roots do get down
between, no doubt, but find nothing un-
congenial in the moist tile, any more
than do the roots of our pot plants
around the sides of the pots.

Some people may attach great impor-
tance to the free passage of air through
these hollow bricks, or 3-inch tile which
many use. I humbly beg to say that
it does not amount to anything, and if
the ends of the tile were sealed up the
result would be the same. It is the
absolutely perfect drainage of the brick
or tile that makes success, far better
drainage than any board or plank bench
can possibly have. I will just mention
that these hollow bricks cost about the
same per surface foot as 2-inch com-
mon pine lumber, and, it is near enough
to say, are everlasting, because in any
alteration you may make you need not
lose one.

Mr. Baur's brick wall, say one foot
high, with six or seven inches of rubble
stone and then the soil, is excellent for
carnations and needs no tile run
through the beds. How can they with
such drainage? If the surface of your
house is naturally dry, then I can not
see any better bed for roses than to lay
the hollow bricks on the properly
graded floor. Have an edge of cement
four and one-half or five inches high,
two inches at base, tapering to one and
one-half inches. This is an everlasting
edge to your bed, but a 2x4 scantling
run along the edge and held in place
by some pieces of 1-inch pipe driven

into the ground, is quickly done and
will last a long time.

I saw at the Dale Estate last fall
a most excellent method of making" a
bench for roses and carnations, and
where stone or clinkers could not be had
it is fine, but rather expensive. It was
a wall of only five or six inches, on
the outside of the beds, merely two
bricks high. Then old sod was firmly
trodden in to the level of top of the
bricks; then a floor of 3-inch tile was
laid, the tile projecting to the outside
of the bricks; a cement edge of four
and one-half inches was put on, and
there you have the bed. This brought
the surface of the bed almost a foot
above the walks in the house.

I would not be presumptuous enough
to so strongly advocate these beds in
place of benches on any experience of
my own. although that has been con-
vincing enough for me ; but I have seer,
crops of roses on them surpassing any
I have seen on the raised benches. And
think, brethren, what comfort and sav-
ing is in store for you.

HEATING IN GEORGIA.

I have two connected houses where
the temperature rarely gets as low as
16 degrees above zero. The houses run
east and west, one 13x50, the other
9x50, without partition wall; three-
quarter span, wide house 8$ feet to
ridge, narrow house 7i feet. The wider
house has two feet of glass in the side
wall for 25 feet of the west end. The
office is at the west end. The north
benches are raised, the balance on the
ground or raised only a few inches, for
carnations and asparagus. How many
pipes will it require to heat with hot
water, using 2-inch flow pipes and 1J-
inch returns? J. T.

turns will be ample to heat the houses
described. 1 In- evict arrangement or
grouping of the pipes will depend upon
the grade of the Imu-,- and width and
arrangement of benches and paths.

SOCIALISM THAT PINCHES.
I see thai one of the state colleges
has let the contract for a range of new

greenhouses and note that some of them
are to be used foi forcing purposes. That
looks as though the institution would
enter into competition with the legiti-
mate florists on a larger scale than in
the past. Now, 1 never believed it right
that a public institution should enter

into c | • 1 1 1 1 ■ > i '.i il b I he i a paj i i

who help support it. even if they do it
fairly, but in many such cases the state

pays the bills and the product is sold at
a price with which no business man can

ete

There is one florist near the college
I have in mind, who in starting there
pinned his hopes of success on the pat-
ronage from the school. He is a hard-
working man and he has complained to
me bitterly about the competition which
he and I think unfair. If they go on
building greenhouses for growing com-
mercial stock 1 am afraid others will

feel tl fleets. If a student really

wants to learn the inside of the florists'
trade and vegetable growing there are
plenty of good chances in commercial
places. If the state should take a hand
that way in all trades and operations of
life it would be a socialistic millennium
pure and simple.

f hope my bigger brethren will in-
to that and help the little ones all they
can, for this is a tight for a principle.

Spraying Plants in the Field.

Although not considered n ssarj bj

many growers, it has proven with me
t,, be of benefit to spray field plants
with Bordeaux mixture. The principal
object is to prevent disease of any kind
getting a foothold.

As the use of Bordeaux is generallj
known to keep plant foliage in a
healthy condition it can but follow
that its use is to be commended. Apply
every other week or after each rain di-
rectly the field has undergone cultiva-
tion. No arbitrary rule can be laid
down, but several applications during
their stay in the field will repay for the
time spent. When spraying, an excel-
lent opportunity is afforded to examine
each plant as to its needs regarding top-
ping, etc.

Plants Indoors.

Memorial day being now past, a g 1

number of plants can Ik' dispensed with,
but careful examination -hould be made
in arriving at a decision as to which
sorts to continue. Everj grower must
be his own judge in the matter, taking
into consideration what his patrons de-
mand, condition of plants, also weigh-
ing well the advisability of keeping a
promising bench well into the summer,
tbcri l,\ prevent ing e.irh planting.

If you decide to throw out the ma-
jority, thus giving you plenty of space,
or a new house is in process of con-
struction, a decision can be soon made,
but in any event, make up your mind
to plant early, even at the loss of the
sale of a few blooms during July and
August, especially so when prices arc
bound to be low.

With us one bench of I.avvson and
Floriana will continue, also a smaller
quantity of Queen Louise, Kstelle and
Potter " Palmer. Nelson promises ex-
ceedingly well but. as repairs to
U'liches must be made, we cannot hold
it as we would desire. Potter Palmer

been given no shade whatever this
spring as a test, and it is remarkable
how the color has held.

We start the general clean out the
first week in June, remove old soil, re-
pair and whitewash benches, fumigate
and paint, refilling very soon with new
soil, the soil pile outside should al-
ready have been turned, then in tilling
it will receive another thorough mix-
ing. Next week I hope to give you my
ideas on filling benches.

CARNATION NOTES-WEST.

During the past two weeks we have
been having enough rain to satisfy our
needs for a month if it were distributed
properly. During such spells it keeps
one guessing how to keep things in good

rapidly that it is hard to keep them
down and you must, get into your carna-
tion pat ih every chance you have. Dur-
ing the spring bedding season many
growers are prone to let the young car-
nations take care of themselves and in
such a season as this they will have to
put on their specs to find the young
plants, if they are still alive. How much
time and work it would save them if
they would go through the patch a cou-
ple of times with the hoe and cut the
weeds out while they are vet small and
the carnation plants can !«■ readily seen.
"A stitch in time saves nine," you know.
Don't think that because it rains
often enough to keep the soil fairly
moist you need not cultivate. You could
make no greater mistake. The soil will
need all the more loosening up and you
should get out your cultivator after
everj rain-, as soon as the soil is work-
able, and loosen it up so that the next
rain can soak down into the soil for
future use. A hard packing rain or a
few good heavy showers will pack the
soil down and level it off so that the
wafer will nearly all run away, instead
of soaking in. and in a short time the
soil will l»e quite dry several inches
down, instead of being only dry right
on top and nice and moist an inch from

the surface. When you cultivate, culti-
vate deeply, at least two inches, and
three inches is better.

Topping h ill have to be looked after
from now on, and some of the varieties
will have to be gone over frequently to
keep the plants shapely. Such varie-
ties as are inclined to bloom in crops
should be gone over more frequently
than the steady bloomers. Especially
will this be found beneficial in case of
early housing. In planting late you lose
much of the effectiveness of this practice,
because the plants vvill be full of shoots
of nearly the same size, and when the
plants begin to -row after the check in
transplanting the shoots will all throw
then buds about the same time. Those
that were longer at transplanting time
will grow a little taller than the others,
but the appearance of the bud vvill
seeminglv dale from the time of trans-
planting and the checking of the growth
rather than from the time the break was
made. That is why a house planted
from pots in June or earlier or from the
field in July will bloom more continu-
ously through the next winter and crop
less than a house that is planted in

Now that Decoration day is over you
will In- able to -pan- some of your car-
nation benches and thoSe varieties that
are producing only what we term trash
should be thrown out. They will bring
you in no money — and they will be tak-
ing time and water to keep the plants
alive. 1 would not advise you to take
the soil off the benches unless you can
refill them with new soil, a- it vvill pro-
tect the wood from the hot sun. You
can allow the soil to dry out and it will
be lighter to handle when it is taken
out. If there are any benches that need
renewing you can do that to advantage
now before you begin refilling your
houses, and. by the way. just try one
of our solid beds with a bottom of cin-
ders and see if you don't like it.

There are many of these things that
you can do now. when you are not so
busy, which will help you wonderfully
next winter, when you begin the refilling
of your benches in earnest. You will
appreciate the fact then. Give your soil
pile a final turning over now and break
up all the lumps and see that it gets
thoroughly mixed, and keep the weeds
from growing on it from now on. What
weeds are growing on the pile now you
can turn under when you turn the pile
over and they will soon rot and enrich
the soil. A. F. J. Baur.

I can hardly give a definite answer

an opinion on. There are many things
that may cause the young plants to

seriously injure Hie growth may cause
it to dry up and die. Y'ou say they were

is really necessary, as exoo—ive mois-
ture is very conducive to stem-rot. You
will always find this trouble the worst
in wet seasons and on low ground where
the water cannot drain off well. After
the young plants take a good hold on
the soil they do not need a great amount
of water to keep them in good growing
condition and. in fact, a season of only
a moderate amount of rain is best for
them. During a wet season the plants
will become larger, but softer, too, and
transplanting will be much more diffi-
cult. Keep your cultivator going to
keep the soil loosened up and it will
have to get extremely dry to cause any
suffering among your carnations.

Another thing" that may be causing
your plants to turn dry is grub worms.

They will eat awaj the root- and leave
the rootless plant standing, but it soon
begins to wilt and dry up. I'm worms
usually cut the plant- off and thej drop

CHICAGO.

There were no good while roses except
a \ei\ few Kai-erin and Ivory. .Maid-
were not only small and -oft. but off
color. Liberty was good.

There were great quantities of ear
nations and the qualities were good as
compared to roses. The demand was
also excellent and there was a prettj
fair clean-up. although in some houses
white predominated, and rather hung
fire. The popularity of carnation-
seemed to react on the peonies, but
there were not large supplies and many
of the receipts were poor. South Water
-fleet was in the cape jasmine trade
with cheap grades at a dollar a box,
and it is probably ju-t as well that
the receipts of this item were lighter
than usual in our market. The mis-

cellaneous items did not move very well,
a very large part of the sales being on
shipping orders. Decoration day was
rainy, with a temperature of 45 degrees,
ami Sunday little better for local trade.

There have since developed a great

stock did not arrive in salable condition.
Undoubtedly there wa- more or less
pickled stock; there always i-: but no
one sent out stale stuff if he knew it.
and all goods were soft. There are also
reports of several shipments having been
caught in the Kansas Hood-.

This week has seen a very fair bu-i-
ness. Supplies were light, as every-
thing had been cut close for Decoration
day. and the dark, cold weather held to
Tuesday afternoon. As a result, good
price- prevailed on roses, carnations and
peonies.

BOSTON.

Decoration Day.
New England has established a new
floral record. Never in its history of
blossomdom has May 30, 1903, been sur-
passed or even approached for amount
of material handled, and I am not sure
but that all former records of amounts
in cash values are broken. Presume
they are. There seemed only a fair
amount in for Thursday of that week,
and prices ran high without the ma-
terial to fill demands. Friday, how-
ever, was a wonder. A tornado of blos-
soms struck town. Prices quivered a
bit. but the generous demand gulped
about everything down and all hands
were happv. Saturday morning there
still was use for all the growers could
produce, and all were pleased to see the
roll by in the afternoon, and

now we want a good, thorough drench-
ing, as things are getting decidedly dry.

A peculiarity of the time is that
growers claim 'that they brought in all
their goods on Thursday last and that
the immense output of Friday was the
result of one day's cutting. If so, it
looks much like a miracle to this end
of the business: but if goods were kept
back, or "salted," as the expression is,
there was method in it. because of the
fearfully low prices offered just previous
to the cyclone.

There seems to be absolutely no news
worth chronicling just at present, but
then- is a fine thought in one of E.
N. Pierce's storiettes of the little girl
who was told not to pick any more
flowers in the park near his green-
houses. She asked to be directed to
the nearest place where some of "God's
flowers" grew, because she could always
gather all she wanted of those.

PHILADELPHIA.

Decoration Day.

The general impression among the
wholesalers is that the volume of busi-
ness was very large — larger with many
of them than ever before. Carnations
were used in enormous quantities. The
sales of this flower far exceeded those
of any other. Prices were fair, advanc-
ing slightly on good stock, but much of
the stock is far from what it was be-
fore the hot weather of last month.
The demand was for medium grade
flowers, choice Beauties and valley not
being as eagerly sought as is usual on
floral holidays. ' Peonies were great sell-
ers at good prices; so were daisies.
Other flowers sold moderately well, but
all were eclipsed by the -carnation.
Some idea of the enormous quantities
of this flower that were sold can be
formed from the fact that one dealer
alone, Edward Reid, shipped over 82,-
000 out of town in two days.

The plant business was very heavy,
probably ahead of past years. It was
limited by the ability of the plants
themselves to bear flowers for the occa-
sion. The late Easter, the constant
picking over and possibly a little
neglect in the rush of work, are causes
that have combined to leave rather an
undersized lot of plants in most places.
Scarlet geraniums are particularly
scarce. The wholesale growers do not
find small plants, usually flowered in
2-inch and 3-inch pots, such as thun-
bergias, lobelias, phlox, single petunias
and many others, profitable at prevail-
ing prices. During the past few years
a good many have dropped them. There
is now a good demand for sucB stuff
at fair prices for those who retail their
product.

The Market.
There is much activity in business
circles this week. The weddings and
commencements are here, bringing with
them a lively demand for fine flowers
that keeps us all on the alert. S. S.
Pennock sold over 1.000 fancy Beauties
on Monday. Leo Niessen had some fine
shipping orders for Beauties and lilies
of the valley on Tuesday and Wednes-
day. Carnations were quite scarce at
the beginning of the week. Sweet peas
are in brisk demand. The outdoor
blooms are more plentiful. They have
brighter colors and more substance than
those grown under glass.

A Holiday.

Samuel C. Moon, of Morrisville, Bucks
i. unity, has invited the Florists' Club
to visit his nurseries on Wednesday.
June 1". The club has accepted the
invitation and proposes to leave Chest-
nut street wharf on the steamer River-
side at 8 o'clock on the day mentioned.
Tickets for members cost $1; for ladies
and children, 50 cents, and each mem-
ber has the privilege of obtaining tick-
ets for friends at the same prices. It is
earnestly hoped that a large number of
the members and their friends will avail
themselves of Mr. Moon's invitation.
Notes.

Walter Whetstone addressed the
Florists' Club on the subject of
"Greenhouse Pipe and Air Valves" on
Tuesday evening.

Samuel S. Pennock states that Dec-
oration day business with him was
larger than ever before.

Henry F. Michell is preparing a paper
on the increase in the bulb business, to
be read before the convention of the
seedsmen at the end of June.

Leo Niessen handled a large number
of peonies last week. He found that
Decoration day business gave him all
he could do to fill his orders.

Edward Reid is handling some superb
Crocker, Hill and Joost.

Last month was unusually free from
rose troubles. The dry. warm weather
was unfavorable for mildew and spot.

Eugene Bernheimer has made a spe-
cialty of hardy ferns, which he handles
in quantity.

The exhibition of outdoor roses held
by the Pennsylvania Horticultural
Society this week* came curiously enough
at the fag end of the blooming season,
very many of the plants having pro-
duced the'ir best blooms before June,
which could not have been foreseen by
the schedule makers.

Fred J. Michell, in speaking of the
growth of the bulb planting in this
country, said that when he entered his
firm over ten years ago they imported
130.000 bulbs annually all told. Now
they import 1,500,000 tulips alone and
considerably over 100,000 Dutch hya-
cinths. One private customer in New
York plants 100.000 varieties of daf-
fodils alone. Another, J. W. Paul, Jr.,
plants 60,000 daffodils on his place at
Radnor. Phil.

ST. LOUIS.

The Market.

Decoration day found the market Sur-
prisingly short ' of choice stock. There
was plenty of common outdoor stuff
handled by the marKet gardeners, and
considerable of this cheap stock was dis-
posed of. The demand for bouquets, de-
signs and cut flowers was good — much
better than ever before on this day.
The trade was much surprised to find
stock scarce and prices up on almost
everything, supplies having been secured
at the buyer's own price for the last
month. About the only cheap flower
was the cape jasmine, which was plenti-
ful. Shipping orders were also much
greater than ever before. Friday found
everybody busy packing, both whole-
saler and retailer alike.

dewed leaves, which hurts the sale of
them very much.

The "cemetery florists," those across
the way from the cemeteries, did a big
business in cut flowers and plants.
Koeuig and Meinhardt had all they
eouiu do and they have scarcely any-
thing left for bedding use. The smal-
ler ones in that locality are in the same
way.

Some of our florists have booked or-
ders for a number of June weddings,
which will keep them busy the next two
weeks. Several of these weddings, I
hear, will be very elaborate affairs and
should use up large quantities of choice
stock.

Beauties are still in good demand, but
extra fine stock is not coming in now.
They are small and somewhat off color.
Brides, Maids, Meteors, Carnots and
Gates are somewhat limited in quantity
at present and have also advanced a
little in price. Carnations are still
fine. They, too, became scarce just
when they were needed the most. Prices
also advanced on these to $2 and $3 per
100. A week ago it was "take your
pick at a cent," but to-day you must
take what you can get at double the
price. Sweet peas sold well at 75 cents
per 100. They are fine and quite plenti-
ful. On Friday and Saturday the com-
mission men sold out clean on these.
Peonies are about over and only a few
came in for Decoration day sales. Cape
jasmine was offered by the commission
men on Third street at 50 and 60 cents
per case. These were used a great deal
in funeral work. Plenty of fine smilax
is in now, but ferns are very scarce in
this market.

Notes.

J. F. Amniann and family, of Edwards-
ville. spent a very pleasant Sunday af-
ternoon in St. Louis calling on friends.
Fred reports that trade this spring has
been very good with him in both cut
flowers and plants. He has recovered
his health, and says that he will be
at the next club meeting without fail.

Mrs. Miller and Miss Miller, wife and
daughter of Theo. Miller, on Euclid and
Delmar avenues, will leave Tuesday for
New York, whence they take a steamer
for a summer trip to Europe. This
trip is for the benefit of Miss Miller's
health, which has been impaired for
some time.

The National Saengerfest, which will
be held in our city, commencing June 18,
should be of some benefit to our florists.
Ed Buechel, of the Riessen Floral Co.,
has charge of the floral part of it.

Beyer Bros, last week decorated the
German Savings Bank in a most beau-
tiful manner, the occasion being the fif-
tieth anniversary of its business career.
Thousands of red carnations were used
in the cut flower work. The effect was
much admired by all who saw it.

Qub Meeting.
On next Thursday, June 11. at 2
o'clock, the meeting of the club will be
held. President Dunford, who is him-
self again, would like to see a large at-
tendance at this meeting, which will be
a very important one. The final ar-
rangements for the annual outing in
July and for outdoor meetings will be
made. Two essays will be read, one by
J. E. Fillmore and the other by George
Windier. S. A. F. matters will also
be discussed and -a transportation com-
mittee appointed. The growers having
finished planting and the retailers and

commission men not being so busy, the
largest meeting of the year is expected.

NEW YORK.

The Market.

The last week of May developed a
chilly and gloomy spell of weather and
the usual advance in volume of trade
for Decoration day was far below the
average. Apart from a fair shipping
trade, the local output did not come at
all near general expectation. Even
the holidays share in the general de-
pression. The driest two months ever
known in the east may have had some-
thing to do with this. Hardly a drop
of rain since March is the record. It is
a blue outlook for the vegetable grow-
ers and the vegetarians.

Various Items.

The palm auction of David Clarke's
Sons, at Elliott's, on Wednesday was
largely attended and excellent prices
were realized for the splendid stock dis-
posed of.

Julius Roehrs leaves June 11 for his
annual European tour. His importa-
tion of bay trees, phoenix and Cattleya
Triana? is" an immense one and ship-
ments are being made all over the coun-
try.

The 250th anniversary of the city's
birth last week was loyally celebrated,
but the display, unfortunately, was con-
fined almost exclusively to bunting, the
florist being called upon to a very lim-
ited extent.

Building operations are in progress
in all directions within fifty miles of
New York, and the season, in this re-
spect, promises to be one of the best in
a decade.

Among June weddings that will in-
terest florists generally will be that of
the popular representative of the F. P.
Pierson Company, of Tarrytown, John
P. Fotheringham. The supply of bach-
elors at Asheville will be considerably
thinned before the next convention.

Beaulieu, the pansy specialist, of
Woodhaven. met with a severe accident
a few days ago. his hand being badly
burned, but the pansies, dahlias and
onions still continue business at the old
stand.

June 1 found the Coogan building
inaugurating a new and very commend-
able early closing movement — 3 p. m.
daily. It is to be regretted that these
hours cannot be made po;-ible of uni-

versal adoption by the wholesale trade
until September 1.

The only son of Mr. and Mrs. Holmes,
of Madison, N. J., died last week at
the age of 19, of typhoid fever. Mr.
Holmes is an extensive rose grower, and
has the sincere sympathy of his breth-
ren in his severe affliction.

The shipments of peonies are already
enormous. Good stock, named varietio-.
is coming in from The Cottage Gardens.
A. N. Pierson, of Cromwell, and Valen-
tine Zuber, of Flatbush. The best has
commanded as high as $8 per 100. al-
though average stock can be had in
quantities at from $2 to $3.

F. D. Spicer, of Riedel & Co.. shows
evidence of the approach of summer, if
not of June wedding considerations.

Dunne & Co. are very busy with rus-
tic work at present and have an abun-
dance of orders booked for June.

Siebrecht & Son have begun the work
of removal at Thirty-seventh street,
their greenhouses having already been
taken away. Fortunately their Arcade
store will be ample accommodation for
the dull season. They had the Anson
Stokes wedding at Noroton, Conn., last
week, one of the largest of the year, and
had charge of the decoration of Madison
Square Garden on Sunday night for
Duss's great festival, "Venice in Amer-
ica."

The Florists' Club will hold its last
meeting until September on Monday
evening next. It will be peony night
and a fine exhibit is anticipated. The
meeting will be one of especial im-
portance, as final arrangements will be
made both as to the club's outing. July
1. and the trip of the New York con-
tino-ent to the convention at Milwaukee.

CINCINNATI.

The Market.

As was expected, stock of all kinds
was scarce for Decoration day. The ex-
tremely hot weather of the past few
weeks 'had opened most of the buds in
sight, so the stock left was not only
poor in quality but soft and in some
cases almost unsalable. Notwithstand-
ing this, a tremendous business was
done and great quantities of the out-
door and cheap flowers were disposed
of. Peonies were in good demand and
a large number of them that had been
placed in cold storage were in fine shape
and sold at good figures. Roses sold
very well, but owing to the very poor
quality the price was not very high.
The supply of American Beauties was
large and all sold. Some extra fine
stocks in white, purple and pink sold
well. They were grown by George
Bayer, of Toledo, E. G. Gillett handling
the stock.

At the present time flowers of all
kinds are about as scarce as we ever
saw them, and. as might be expected,
there is a big demand. Prices are rap-
idly moving upward for stock that is
any way near good, and the top has not
been reached yet. Beauties are espe-
cially in demand and not half enough
are coming in. In qualify Golden Gate
and Ivorv are far ahead of Bride and
Maid. Meteor and Liberty are fair
but the majority of them are short
stemmed. If possible, carnations are
more scarce than roses, and the quality
is not much better. Some varieties are
holding up well, especially Genevieve
Lord. Flora Hill. Dorothy and even

The Market.

The florists have had a good trade in
general. Shipping orders have been well
distributed among the stores and every-
one seems to feel jubilant. Flowers are
plentiful and correspondingly cheap,
but there are plenty of buyers and many
of the dealers have' had to scurry around
lively to get stock enough to fill order?.
Sweet peas seem to be more in demand
than any other flowers and both in the
stores and on the street corners they
have been handled in vast quantities.
The wholesale price has been from 50
cents to $1 per dozen bunches, accord-
ing to length of stem. Outdoor candy-
tuft, stocks, roses, carnations, callas,
coreopsis, gaillardias, iris and batchelor
buttons are in great profusion and in
the smaller stores form the greater bulk
of the flowers offered for sale. Inside
roses are plentiful enough, and carna-
tions also. Lilium longiflorum is scarce
and wholesales at $2 to $4 per dozen.
Funeral work has been good for the
past week, and this, with the rush of
Decoration day work, has made things
very lively in this town. The side-
walk merchants have increased wonder-
fully in numbers with the approach of
Decoration day.

Notes.

Over 3,000 people with a love for
flowers and plants for window gardens
attended the distribution of plants from
the nursery in Golden Gate Park. They
came with baskets and boxes of all
shapes and sizes and by nightfall had
carried away over 35.000 rooted cut-
tings that constituted the surplus stock
tha't the park commissioners had decid-
ed to give away rather than destroy.
From !• o'clock" in the morning until
late in the afternoon the nursery was
thronged with a clamorous crowd, and
the dozen employes were nearly over-
whelmed with the calls upon them for
spading out the plants. Foreman Peter
Rock did his utmost to please the visi-
tors and his hands were full indeed. The
plants given away consisted principally
of stocks, petunias, godetias, poppies,
sweet-williams, lobelias, phlox, cosmos,
dianthus and gaillardias. G.

Reports from the pea-growing sec-

early for anything definite.

Nebraska seed growers are afflicted
by floods, while in the eastern district
drought is destroying the crops. It
does not look like a year of plenty.

The consequence of the floods is likely
to make turnip seed good property.
There is quite a dearth of seed at the
ordinary sources of supply, so that even
a normal demand is likely to develop a
shortage.

The Leonard Seed Company, Chicago
reports the heaviest market garden trade
for any May since the year of the
World's Fair. The weather conditions
generally have been right and the mar-
ket conditions favorable.

Mas Wilhelmi and Charles F. Eltz-
holtz, of Barteldes & Co., Lawrence
Nan., have been at Oklahoma City,'
Okla., where they selected a site for a
seed warehouse to be built this summer
and cost not less than $15,000.

The floods in the west and southwest
have covered the onion set fields in
those localities. At Lawrence and
-Atchison, Nan., much damage has been
done. At Iowa and Nebraska points
the extent of the damage is not yet
know,,, hut it is likely to prove serious.

Vine seeds, especially cucumbers, have
been contracted at higher prices than for
many years. The high price for seed
and the shortage of "pickles" in the
vats of the pickling works has a ten-
dency to make the farmers quite inde-
pendent.

Bean contracting for the year 1903
is about finished. Reports afe that it
was uphill work to get the farmers. in-
terested in garden beans, owing to the
good prices and favorable market out-
look for navy and other field beans.
The prices that have ruled this season
are higher for many varieties than for
some years.

There is still a brisk demand for
seed corn of both the sweet and field
varieties. In the absence of stock of the
Early Dent varieties of field corn there
is sharp call for the flint varieties,
while any canners' variety of sweet corn
of good germination is quickly taken.
isers cannot be led back to the
$15 a bushel price, however.

So far Chicago onion-set growers
have been favored with splendid weather
conditions. Weeding is the important
thing just now. The seed is well up
and the stand is good. In some fields
the onion magot is working, and this
may have a bad effect on the crop later

Philadelphia.— Continued dry weath-
er lias had a very depressing effect
upon the local seed trade. It has not
only lessened sales but has caused much
complaint from those whose seed in the
ground is not germinating. As usual,
the fault is attributed to the seed, and
very especially where it is not paid for.
Potatoes are especially dilatory about
coming up. All kinds "of vegetables are
selling well at unusually high prices,
which augurs well for the trade in the
future.

Frank T. Emerson, of Waterloo, says
the rainfall during the month of May
throughout the state of Nebraska was
greater than at any time during the
previous ten years. As a consequence,
corn planting, not only as an ordinary
field crop, but for seed purposes, has
been greatly retarded, and a large pro-
portion of the crops already planted,
especially in the valleys, will have to be
replanted. The sweet corn crop for
seed purposes is likewise affected and,
owing to the present unfavorable con-
ditions, the probabilities are that the
crop will not be nearly as large as has
been anticipated. The planting of the
vine seed crops has also been retarded,
but as these crops may be successfully
grown even when planted as late as the
second week in June, it is to be hoped
that the weather will become settled be-
fore it becomes too late to obtain good
stands.

GEORGIA SEED CROPS.

Crops of the garden and field seeds
peculiar to this section are quite prom-
ising at the end of May. but a dry, hot
June is anticipated and conditions may
change very materially before crops are
safe. At this writing Seven Top tur-
nip and Giant Curled Mustard may be
counted safe and the seeds are of ex-
cellent quality. The famous Georgia
collard is also safe.

The largest acreage of okra. Nixon
liiii-kmelon, Mexican June corn. Pearl
millet. Spanish peanuts. Upland rice,
W Im. Multiplier onion, shallots, chufas,
Velvet beans, Johnson grass, teosinte.
Soja beans, Burr clover, cow peas and
cotton ever put in is now well advanced
and the prospect is encouraging at pres-
ent. Notwithstanding the tremendous
energy expended in the cultivation of
these seeds, the demand is also greater
than ever and spot cash buyers stand
ready to take the output. Uncle Sam
reaches out his paternal hand and draws
in many tons of Georgia-grown seeds to
distribute broadcast "over the land.
This is one of the most unbecoming en-
terprises our great government is en-
gaged in, and one of the most useless. It
works a great injustice t.. the enterpris-
ing seedsmen of the country by robbing
them of trade. If it is 'a legitimate
function of the government to furnish
the people with free seeds, why not fur-
nish tea and coffee? But let the govern-
ment confine its free seed distribution to
things entirely new to this country and
there will lie no cause for complaint.
Mark W. Johnson.

BALTIMORE.

Since the drought was broken by the
gracious rain of about a week ago we
have had moderate showers, but we
can stand a great many more. The
weather continues moderate, and, save
some cool and muggy nights, favorable
for flowers. Brides and Maids are
growing less in size and the scarred
foliage shows the mildew's blistering
finger in many cases, but stuff gen-
erally is in better shape than is usual
at this date.

The past week was one of activity in
trade and flowers were not in excess of
calls. The commencement season is
upon us, and the demands are large for
June weddings and public and private
entertainments, and are equally dis-
tributed.

Decoration day, as was foreshadowed,
produced more demands for finer flowers
than was probably ever noticed before,
and it is pleasant to see signs that the
day will be of more advantage to the
growers and dealers than it has been
heretofore in this section. Of course
the largest use is made of outdoor stuff,
but greenhouse flowers were consider-
ably employed.

The peony crop this year was not so
abundant as usual, and sweet peas are
not seen in their customary annual
abundance.

The vacancy in the post of manager
of the Florists' Exchange caused by the
sickness of Alexander Scott, has been
filled by the appointment of John J.
Perry, who has had experience in this
line, is well acquainted with the needs
of both growers and buyers, and has
the confidence of the entire trade. B.

PITTSBURG.

The great surplus of roses and car-
nations which has glutted this market
for the past three weeks came to an end
Thursday, May 28. The big demand
for stock for Decoration day used up
almost everything. Outdoor flowers,
such as deutzias, snowballs and Nar-
cissus poeticus, which are usually
abundant at this time, arrived in small
quantities. Peonies were more plentiful
and the demand for them was brisk.
On carnations and roses the supply
equaled the demand. Every one reports
business for Decoration day as very sat-
isfactory.

Charles Koenig is cutting some very
good gladioli.

A. W. Smith struck Decoration day
just right with a house of fine longi-
florurn lilies. So did Fred Burki. with
a house of Kaiserins.

Christian Rieger. the pioneer manu-
facturer of florists' wire designs, has
moved bis works to 513 First avenue.

James Brothers, of Wilkinsburg, Pa.,
with greenhouses on the Greenbury pike,
failed Tuesday, June 2.

The Market.
Everybody has been very busy the
past two weeks. Decoration day busi-
ness was immense from every point of
view. The demand, both for cut flow-
ers and plants, was away ahead of past

The Weekly Florists' Review.

years, and prices obtained much better.
Roses were, and continue to be, very
scarce. Carnations fell short of the
demand and were of inferior quality.
Beauties and red roses are especially
scarce. In outdoor stock, snowballs arc

in their pri while spirseas, weigelas

and deutzias add to the general stock.
Cape jasmines from Texas arc a very
valuable adjunct at this time. A few
g 1 longiflorum lilies are seen. Out-
side valley has also been coining in
quite freely, but they arc nearly all
gone now.

Bedding out has been rushed with all
possible dispatch and work in that line
is nearly all done. Another week, or in
ten days at the latest, outside work
should lie all completed. Shipping trade
has been exceptionally good this spring.
Geraniums, as usual, have been in
greatest demand, but there has also
been a good call for pansies, verbenas.
cannas, coleus, marguerites, feverfew.
etc.

C. F. Haupt is cutting some fine lilies.
which were originally intended for
Easter, but are selling nearly as well
now.

Holm & Olson, who erected a range of
plant houses las! summer, find their
business doubled over that of a year
ago.

L. L. May & Co. bad a large decora-
tion at the Commercial Club this week,
and several $50 and $75 funeral orders
have kept them exceedingly busy.

Charles Vogt has been "the busiest he
ever was and says business is very-
good.

There is a very heavy demand this
week from the country towns for red
roses and carnations for commencement
exercises and weddings. X. Y. Z.

WASHINGTON.

Last week rain fell almost
gave the boys a much easier feeling, as
all outdoor stock was suffering very
much. Decoration day was a record
breaker. Some did 50 to 75 per cent
better than last year. Everything sold
at very good prices in spite of the large
quantities of outdoor stock at hand.
Beauty brought $2 to $5, all tea roses
$1 to $1.50 per dozen, carnations 50
cents to $1 a dozen. Cemetery baskets
cleaned out at 50 cents each. By 10
o'clock on the morning of Decoration
day one could not buy any kind of a
plant in bloom.

Last week. Wednesday, a party of our
bowlers went to Baltimore and were
royally entertained. We did not have
our regular team and Captain Ernest
had a bad hand, so we did not make a
very good showing on the alleys. Our
team will challenge the Baltimore and
Philadelphia teams for a silver cup
known as the Kramer cup and valued
at from $35 to $50. The conditions of
the match will be announced later.
Following is the record of the last prac-
tice:

GRAND RAPIDS.

The weather lias had a marked effect
on business. We had two weeks of sum-
mer heat, when carnations bloomed so
freely that for the first time this season
there was a glut, and so high was the
temperature that flowers seemed to go to
sleep in a day. This Was followed by a
wet, raw. cold week previous to Memo-
rial day. lessening the cut considerably,
yet for all that there was undoubtedly
the largest cut of roses and carnations
on record. The demand was so great
that shipping orders coming in Friday
could not be filled.

The bulk of the bedding is finished.
Straggling orders will, however, continue
to come in for the res! of the month.

KALAMAZOO, MICH.
Memorial week was one of the busi-
est in the history oi the trade in thi>
city, the quantities at plants and cut
lowers sold exceeding all former years,
while the trade in baskets rid window
Ikincs also made a fine gain. The

plant trade, « hich i- a week i ao In

were entirelj cleaned oul of cut blooms

and had to refus ders from neighboi

ing cities.

The rose and carnation cuts, while
larger and of fine quality, did not cover
the demand. Other stock, such as callas,
white stocks and, in fact, any kind of a
il. wer, met with a readj sale, particu-
larly toward the end of the wick.

M. F. Kyle, of the Dunkley Floral
Co., reports tlii^ a- a very satisfactory
.Memorial daj trade.

G. Van Bochove & Bro., comparing if
with former years, say thej arc eonsid-
erably ahead. Prices ruled about the

.lack Calder, of the East Side, basbeen
doing a -.<" .1 trade in bedding plants,
carnations and other cut flowers.

Rose planting is in full swing. The
quantities to be benched will conside]
ably exceed lasl season. The firms now
buildine- are preparinc. to increase in
Beautj stock.

Carnation- in the field are looking
fine, the genial rains of the past ten
■ lays having done wonder- for them.
These will also !><■ planted in greater
quantities this year, the Van Boehove
Brothers alone having 30,000 in the field

IOLIET, ILL.

The President's Reception.
Everyone in town is busy preparing

tor i he recepl i f President Roi se-

velt, \\ ho i- due hei e on \\ ednesdaj of
this week (that is. everyone with the
exception of .hum- Hartshorne and
crew, reasons given below I. This is the
present President's first ■>. i - i i to Joliet,
which of course makes it. more inter-
esting to all. Charlie Shepard, _ gar-
dener i" i olonel John Lambert, is to
decorate the President's ear. He will use
Roosevelt color carnations and Amer-
ican Beauties, as well as some speci-
men Piersoni ferns, which he regrets to
see go, as no doubt they will have to
sutler, but Mr. Lambert says there is
nothing too good for Roosevelt. L. L.
May & Co., of St. Paul, wired the Chi-
cago Carnation Company on Monday
for 5,000 carnation-, which were shipped
at a moment's notice. These were un-
doubtedly used in connection with the
President's visit to that city.

Peony Time.

James Hartshorne and his three crews
of help, from the Chicago Carnation
Company, the Higinbotham estate and
the Chicago Peony Farms, respectively,
are now hustling with the ten-acre
peony crop. As yet they have not lost
a flower and have been getting at whole-
sale as high as $1.50 per dozen for such
varieties as Lady Bramwell, Festiva
Maxima. Rubra Superba and other nov-
elties. They are now shipping by the
car load, using refrigerator ears for the
purpose. This is the first step in this
direction in history and should be the
only practical way to handle such an
immense quantity. The refrigerator
cars run direct to cold storage buildings
in various cities where the peonies are
kept until the markets are ready to re-
ceive them.

A visit to the peony farms now is
worth anybody's time, though all in-
tended for market are cut in the bud
as tight as an American Beauty rose.
But the batch of 15,000 to 20,000 seed-
lings, among which are some that will
surely displace the best present-day
sorts, is a sight fit for the gods. Of
course there are a great many single
varieties. Even blooms of these have
been in strong demand at 50 cents per
dozen. The best of these will be saved
for forcing purposes. Mr. Hartshorne
says they force nearly as quickly as
valley when one knows how to handle
them.

Notes.

Charles Zeigk is back at his old
stand, the Spot Cash corner.

Joseph Labo and Johnson & Carlson
were practically cleaned out of flower-
ing plants for Memorial day. The
former gentleman had as fine a lot of
hydrangeas as we have seen in many a
year.

Aaron T. Pyfer, bookkeeper for the
Chicago Carnation Company, has re-
cently joined the ranks of Benedicts.
It came as a surprise to his many
friends in and out of the trade. The
young lady was a Miss Gertrude Inger-
sol, daughter of an old and respected
family of Joliet.

Two weeks ago the great cry was for
rain. Now it is the reverse; we are
getting too much of it.

I.s Conklin and all the old tim-
ers report good business.

MISCELLANEOUS
SEASONABLE HINTS.

Stock for the Future.

,\s sunn as yum illslomel's Mower Hells

and gai 1ms are tilled you have time to
think about yum own Btock— some to
give you cuttings in the Call and some-
thing for next winter's use— and a word
en- two about these will be seasonable.
It may appear late for Mime, but the
man who grows bedding plants seldom
lias lime to prepare for his future crops
U for, the middle of the month.

Chrysanthemums.

If you have any call for chrysanthe-
mums in pots in October and November,
they should be planted on a bench in
four or five inches of soil in the full
light of an unshaded house. Plant them
fifteen inches apart, and for this pur-
pose choose tile propagated plants that
are now growing freely and about need
their lirst "stop." These will make much
better plants than those that were propa-
gated three months ago. When they
have made a growth they will need one
more pinching and by the end of August
will be bushy plants. If watered over
night they will lift from the bench with-
out losing a fiber and make lots of
growth after being lifted. Very sorry
to .say that few of these pots of mums
sell with us nowadays, but they may
somewhere, and this is the way to do
it. About the last week in August is
the time to lift them from the bench.
Few varieties are suitable for making a
small, compact plant. Choose varieties
that make a short, bushy growth. Ivory
and W. H. Lincoln, cannot be equaled
in their colors for this purpose, but
there are others.

Azaleas.

You should soon put your azaleas out
in the field. Years ago it was thought
best to give them the shade of trees or
some artificial shading, but that is not
what they want. Plunge them to the
rim of the pots in refuse hops, old rot-
ted manure, tan bark or some material
easy to handle. If liberally supplied with
water twice a day on hot, sunny days
and given a good spraying every even-
ing they will grow finely, and you will
notice that although you may give them
plenty of room when you first plunge
them out, they grow- and crowd before
September. So give them plenty of
room, and make up your mind to give
them a stand-over in August. Acacia
armata, metrosideros and old plants of
cytisus can be plunged under the same
conditions, and don't have these plants
standing on ground that is liable to re-
tain water, for you have to water heav-
ily and we get heavy rains. Don't put
young cytisus out of doors. Plants prop-
igated last winter will do better shift-
ed on and kept under glass. These plants
are very liable to be troubled with red
spider, so spray them often.

Hydrangeas.

Hydrangeas are grown in different

ways. If vou want large plants for next

year, choose some of the plants that

have the least flower now. Cut the

lbs

member that they become white ele-
phants it you don't -ell them and that
they are considerable trouble in winter.
Young hydrangeas propagated in the
winter might have been planted out two
or three weeks ago, but it will do now.
I hese are what make the 6-inch pot
plants for next Easter. Give them a
good, rich soil within reach of the hose.
Some growers may have them in 4-inch
pots now and plunge them out in frames
and later shift them into 6-inch. Vet 1
think the best blooms are those produced
by the plants that are put into the
ground and lifted in October. They need
only one stopping after being rooted,
but that has been done some time ago.

Stock Plants.

Another class of plants are those that
you want a few of to produce cuttings
next winter. Such are the lemon ver-
bena and the lantana. A dozen plants
of each in 4 or 5-inch pots plunged out
in a frame will give you plenty of cut-
tings next winter, and they lift poorly
when planted out. Plant out a few of
everything that you find necessary to
your business and don't trust to your
neighbor's helping you out, or to getting
a few cuttings fioru your customers. If
you do, you are liable to have bother.
Of many of our common bedding plants
you need but very few. Of such plants
as salvias and ageratums, half a dozen
plants lifted in the fall will give you all
you want; while there are others, and
notably the zonalc geraniums, thai you
must plant out in quantity or \ mi can-
not have a good stock to sell next
spring.

Put out plenty of the glorious old
geraniums ana not too great a variety.
This year in our city the two varieties
in greatest demand are S. A. Nutt, deep
scarlet, and Francis Perkins, pink.
Everybody wants them. A big lot of
half a dozen of the best varieties of
geraniums is infinitely better than the
same quantity in twelve or twenty vari-
eties. The sweet person who wants to
walk through and select one each of a
dozen varieties can then be dispensed
with. If you disappoint, them it is not
serious. But the one who wants 200
plants for one bed is worth catering to.
I suppose all are worth accommodating,
yet I see this spring the same old weak-
ness— thousands of geraniums that the
people don't want occupying space that
would give what thej do want. Give
your stock geraniums lots of room; fif-
teen or eighteen inches is close enough,
and then you will get good, hard cut-
tings.

Plant out plenty of spring struck vin-
eas, both the variegated and green. They
are the great standby for boxes and
vases. The English ivy planted out now
will make a good plant by fall and can
lie lifted, potted and put beneath a bench
in winter. They are good foi rase!

and for windy and exposed places, but
our customers think they are stiff, and
so they are.

Besides the great and important ear-
nation, which is so important that I
hope you don't neglect it for anything
else, and which with most of us are
growing in the field, there are a few
other things to plant out. The sweet
stevia (S. serrata) can't be dispensed
with, ai least by many of us. Give
it n, , l over rich' soil or it will grow
too rank, and plant it two feet apart
each way. It needs two or three pinch-
ings during the summer. It is much
less labor planted out than grown in
pots, and it is the only species of the
stevia and eupatoriums worth growing;
the rest are too cheap looking.

Bouvardias, which may still be in 24-
inch pots, should have the best and
richest piece of loam in the garden.
The little, slim growth they have made
since they were propagated from the
tiny pieces of root does not amount to
anything. Thej- will make strong
growths from beneath the ground, which
is the flowering wood for next winter.
It pays well to water the bouvardias.
I am no advocate of this outdoor water-
ing unless done with discretion and
gumption. There is about as much harm
as good done with this foolish and use-
less sprinkling. Hoe, hoe, hoe in dry
weather if you can't water, and if you
can water them once a week, such
plants as bouvardias may get a soaking,
and then before the ground is baked hoe
them and leave them all alone for an-
other week. This sprinkling without
hoeing is far worse than drought.

William Scott.

CHRYSANTHEMUMS.

Single Stem Pot Plants.

Single stem pot plants, in G-inch pots,
are one of the most attractive features
of an exhibition when well grown. I
notice the C. S. A. makes a fair pro-
vision for them in its prize list for this
fall, and they are always much in evi-
dence at the Philadelphia show. While
some growers propagate their stock to-
ward the end of May for this style of
pot plants, any time in June is really
early enough if one has good cuttings;
in fact, I prefer a June cutting, be-
cause if propagated too soon the plants
get too tall, and the lower foliage dies
away, leaving a bare stem next the pot.
The ideal plant has foliage hanging over
the pot and right up to the flower and
is not over two feet high. The offi-
cial scale of points in judging this class
gives a preference, if I recall correctly,
to plants under three feet in height.

Varieties that grow dwarf and sturdy
are best adapted for this work. In
the novelties Marie Liger, C. J. Salter,
Mrs. T. W. Pockett and Lord Salisbury
can be depended on, if their growth last
year is anything to go by. Among the
standard sorts Robinson, Nellie Pockett.
Appleton, Bonnaffon (if you can still
get it good), Merza, Viviand-Moiel and
E. J. Balfour can all be depended on.
One of the prettiest sights 1 ever saw-
was a batch of Merza at an exhibition
last year. They were not over a foot
high, each plant the same height, and
each flower apparently east in the same
mold.

It has often occurred to me that there
ought to be money for the florist who
grows and sells his ,wn stock over the
countei in handling i his par! icular class

The Weekly Florists' Review,

of plant. The average chrysanthemum
plant one sees in the stores is carrying
a dozen or more small flowers, and is
conspicuous mainly on account of its
bare stems, which are rendered still
more noticeable by being tied to thick
bamboo stakes. Mark Twain's descrip-
tion of a cocoanut palm as a "feather
duster struck by lightning" is applica-
ble in some degree to the mum plants
one sometimes sees in the establishments
of our "best" florists. Contrast these
tall, leggy, ungainly plants with a dwarf
plant in a 6-inch pot, with the foliage of
the plant almost hiding the pot and
crowned by a good-sized flower and there
can be n<'> question as to which plant
the average customer would prefer.

[I you have any small plants lying
around that are hard and stunted and
dried out, don't pot them up, thinking
that they will make good plants for
6-inch pots once they get to growing.
They hardly ever hold' their foliage well,
as the stem gets too hard and woody.
Get the suckers that spring up out of
the soil from the old plants, where pos-
sible, because these cuttings will, on
many varieties, grow right along and not
produce a bud before the end of August,
at which time the bud can be taken,
and then you have a perfectly straight
stem. If earlier rooted plants are topped
in June and the tops used for cuttings
for the single stems, these cuttings will
nearly always produce a bud in July or
early' August and then it is not so easy
to keep the stem straight where the plant
"breaks" again.

The main thing to observe in growing
single stemmed plants is to keep them
moving nicely right along and never let
them get pot bound or dry at the roots.
Pot into 2i-inch pots from the cutting
bench and from that to the 6-inch pot
as soon as the roots are nicely through
the soil all around. Keep the plants
inside all summer, where you can con-
trol the water supply; otherwise in
showery weather leaf spot will be found
troublesome. Caterpillars must be kept
off and also the festive grasshopper, if
the foliage is to be kept perfect, and
perfect it must be to win. A point not
to be forgotten, also, is that these plants.
owing to their restricted root area, need
much more feeding with liquid
than plants set out in a bench.

SEASONABLE VIOLET NOTES.

The most seasonable thing that we
have had hereabouts is rain. It com-
menced last night and has been coming
down ever since in nice showers that go
right in as they should, and if ever we
needed rain it is now, as we have had
a seven weeks' drought — fifty-one days,
to be exact — and crops of all kinds are
about ruined. I mean the hardier kinds,
grass, grain, etc., to say nothing about
violets, carnations, etc., which were not
established in the ground. Of course
those that were planted in the house
were under our control as regards the
watering; still, even then, they do not
do as well when the air is dry and dusty
as they do when it is normal. One
thing that we have to take especial care
about is that the red spider does not
get a foothold in such weather, and
extra attention should be given in strong-
ly spraying the under sides of the foli-
age with the water from the hose, so
that the spider will have no opportunity
to get a start, as in all things an ounce
of prevention is worth a pound of cure.

As you wish all the strength of the
plants to go into good, strong crowns,
you must go over them frequently, cut-
ting off the runners as soon as started,
and this work, as I have before stated,
should not be left to the "boy." but
given to an older person of judgment.
A good deal of injury can be done by a
careless, incompetent grower in many
ways, one of which is pulling more or
less on the plant and disturbing it. as
of course it has not taken hold hard
enough as yet to stand much of this
treatment. Another is cracking stems
of leaves and so injuring their breath-
ing capacity, etc.

If the plants are in the house be sure
to have on all the ventilation that is
possible, so as not to grow them tall and
soft; and good judgment must also be
used with the shading on the glass, for
the same reason; still you want enough
shading to keep the house as cool as
possible. The plants out of doors, I
presume, you have planted where they
can get the shade from trees or rows of
higher plants, or in lack of this, lath
screens, unless you have a very moist
piece of ground especially adapted to vi-
olets.

The drier the weather the oftener the

cultivator should be run through them,
and this is just what is liable to be omit-
ted, as the weeds do not start so freely
and we are apt to think it is not needed;
but this is a great mistake, as, if they
are cultivated every day, you will be as-
tonished to see how moist it keeps the
ground underneath and how the loose,
dry earth on top keeps the moisture in.
I presume some nave nor yet been able
to get the houses planted. If so, do
not hurry so that the house is not prop-
erly prepared. Give them six inches of
new, fresh soil, which has previously
been worked over and gotten in good
shape, and then see that the plants are
in good shape and not thrown into the
soil in a rough, haphazard manner. They
should be trimmed up, leaving only one
or two fully developed leaves on them,
so that there will not be as much leaf
surface to evaporate moisture and so
dry out the roots before they have an
opportunity to take a hold.

HYBRID ALPINE IRIS.

Mr. W. J. Caparn, St. Martins, Guern-
sey, England, has raised some very in-
teresting iris hybrids and sends us some
photographs of what he calls his new
hybrid Alpine iris, which are reproduced
herewith.

The one showing a house of this iris
in bloom in January and February will
probably be of some interest to our read-
ers as indicating what may be done in
the way of forcing this race of irises.
Mr. Caparn says it readily responds to
the forcing treatment, and the plants
may be had in bloom either before or
after Christmas, from November on-
wards.

The plants in the house illustrated
were lifted and boxed in October and a
slight heat put on the house in mid-
December. The plants bloomed through
January and Februarv, and some flowers
were cut till the end of March. The
plants were then planted out in the ipen
and afterward grew into flowering stock
again the same year. Mr. Caparn says
that if the plants had been boxed in
September they would have bloomed for
Christmas.

Cleaning the Houses.

After the old soil has been removed,
the benches should be thoroughly cleaned.
Sweep out all soil left in cracks and
corners, follow with a heavy syringing
with the hose, next apply a light coat
of wood ashes and with an old broom
scrub the bottom and sides, finishing
with another syringing.

When nearly dry every part of the
bench which will come in contact with
soil should receive a coat of whitewash.
If vou whitewash both inside and out-
side, so much the better. Slake the
lime by adding just enough water to
cover it and when violent boiling be-
gins add more water gradually, as re-
quired, to prevent burning, in the end
producing a somewhat thick solution.
Before boiling ceases add two pounds
of powdered sulphur to ten gallons thick
wash, stirring well. Apply at once, thin-
ning with water (hot is preferable) to
the required consistency to spread easily.

As soon as a house is finished, close
every door and ventilator, fumigating by
burning brimstone. This comes in sticks
or rolls and can be easily broken up,

using about two pounds in a 100-foot
house, dividing the amount into say six
pot saueers "and distributing evenly
about the house. Plants of every kind
should have been previously removed and
the fumes kept in about 24 hours. A
house so treated is practically free from
all insect pests and fungous germs.

If the whole interior, exclusive of the
whitewashed surface, can then be paint-
ed, a long step toward a new house will
have been taken.

Filling the Benches.

In my notes of May 14 on soil for in-
door culture, ilr. Baur evidently misun-
derstood my meaning in regard to the
use of bone meal, for I use a small quan-
tity in benches prepared to receive rield-
grown plants, but the article in question
had reference to plants grown in pots
outside in frames and housed in June.
I confess my error in not stating the
point more clearly.

There are several methods employed
by growers in the filling of benches.
Some put a layer of manure on the bot-
tom, using soil containing more or less
manure, with or without bone. Others
use no manure at the bottom, but use
soil laid up with manure the season pre-
vious, with or without the addition of
bone, and so on in various ways.

I do not believe any one method can
be advocated as the ideal, except it be
when but one variety is grown, for what
will suit one sort will not give the best
results with another. I have made many
experiments in this line, but, with the
advent of so many new sorts, with which
I have not had the time to carry them
through, I will only give facts concern-
ing a few now largely grown.

I have found horse manure to be pre-
ferable to any other to put on the bot-
tom of the bench, but by all means do
not use the well-rotted kind. Procure
some that is comparatively fresh, giv-
ing it two or three turnings, seeing to it
that it is kept wet the while and put on
at once. This spread on the benches in
a thin layer and at once covered with
soil has given us the very best results
with Mrs. Bradt and Floriana. Crane
does not seem to take kindly to it. Law-
son having done exceedingly well with-
out it, we have let well enough alone,
as is also the case with White Cloud and
Nelson. I think Estelle would give good
returns under this method and intend
to try it next season.

Speaking of manure, I will say I pre-
fer that from the cow on account of its
lasting qualities, but let no grower who
is unable to obtain it, think for a min-
ute that carnations cannot be grown to
an equal degree of quality with horse
manure. The trouble lies in the fact
that it is not properly handled, at the
source of supply, to preserve its value
as a fertilizer. I am obliged to use a
certain amount for the reason that cow
manure is scarce and very expensive on
account of the distance is must be hauled,
but by careful attention to its treatment
where that from' the horse is obtained,
and shutting my ears to the much-ex-
tolled virtue of that which is offered as
being well rotted, we get along very
nicely.

Coming to the actual filling of the
benches, a few points of importance come
to mind, the main one being to so handle
the soil that a bench will, when filled,
have the same degree of density through-
out. ■ The dumping of soil here and there
in heaps by all hands, to be spread and
leveled later is not to be thought of.

Hybrid Alpine Ir s.

Without knowing the arrangement of
your houses, it is not possible to lay out
any fixed plan, but I can say to keep the
men and wheelbarrows out of the bench
and provide runways on which to trans-
port the soil. We fill in layers, spread-
ing the first few barrow loads evenly
over six to eight feet of bench with a
short-handled rake. The same opera-
tion is repeated until that section is
.•ven full. Bone meal is sprinkled over
the bottom layer, using about a 3-inch
potful to three barrows of soil.

Have enough help inside to level it
as fast as the soil is delivered, also see
that the soil and manure are evenly in-
corporated before being carried in. Those
inside, by intelligent manipulation of the
rake, can distribute the soil in such a
manner that no tramping over it will be
necessary nor should it be allowed.

I do not believe in filling a bench to-
day and planting it to-morrow. Com-
mence early enough to allow the newly
filled benches to lie at least a week be-
fore planting. By this plan the soil
gets into a more settled condition, nu-
merous weed seeds sprout and can be
easily destroyed by a thorough raking,
at the same time improving the me-
chanical condition of the soil. A slight
watering on the third or fourth day
will help the weeds along and also
leave the soil in the proper condition to
plant. George S. Osbobn.

Seasonable Hints.

To carry a house of roses successfully
and profitably over a second season re-
quires a deal of careful preparation and
study. This is usually delayed until the
early fall or, at least, till the earlier
planted young stock is giving a crop.
This, of course, largely curtails their
growing season, as it requires from three
weeks to a month between the time of
growing, then a rest, and starting them
up again.

To derive the best results from this
method of culture preparations should
be started in June or early in July. By
reducing the supply of water at the
roots they will begin to ripen both wood
and foliage, and stop making new wood.
While this is being done the syringe
will have to be used as frequently as
before, as allowing the foliage to be-
come a prey to red spider does not in
any way help the ripening process, but
rather retards it, yet how often do we
see a house at this stage entirely neg-
lected in this respect?

Air must be given freely, both night
and day, as this is a great factor in
hastening the ripening. The soil in the
bench must not be allowed to become so
dry as to cause the young wood to wilt
nor to cause the plants to shed their
leaves. It requires from three weeks to
a month to complete the ripening process
even in the brightest kind of weather.

The plants should then be carefully
pruned, removing all the small and
blind wood and cutting back the
stronger growths to three or four eyes.
As much of the old soil as can with
safety be taken from between the
plants should be carefully removed and

a sprinkling of air-slaked lime put over

all the exposed surface. A good rich
mulch should then be spread over the
bench to replace the soil taken away.

The trouble with these rose- is a bad
dose of mildew. The leaves also give
evidence, by their texture, of having
been grown in too high a temperature
and in too close an atmosphere. To sub-
due the mildew dust the foliage with
sulphur, using a good distributor, so
that each leaf will get a dusting. Be-
fore applying the sulphur close the ven-
tilators tight and keep them closed for
half an hour or so. This should be
done twice a week, selecting bright, sun-
ny days for the operation. If there is
aiiy necessity for firing do not lose the
opportunity "to paint the pipes in spaces
six feet apart all over the house with
the following mixture and close the
ventilators when the heat is turned on:
Sulphur, two parts ; air-slaked lime, one
part; mix to the consistency of paint.

The worms were undistinguishable
when I got them. No doubt they belong

will surely disappear. A mixture of

Reduce the night temperature of the

MOLES AND MICE. ~

Would Mr. Scott or some other" friend
tell me how to get rid of the ground
mice, which are very destructive. They
cut the roots of grape vines and eat off
geraniums, peas, carnations, pansies,
parsley, etc. As they work under
ground, you can't see them, but they
are little, dark fellow-, with stumpy
tails like moles. I have poisoned corn
and planted it among the plants, but it
has had no results. A. H.

I could have returned this query with
the simple remark, "I don't know," but
I want, myself, to know about these
numerous little rodents, and there seems
by the above to be some confusion as
to their name or what they are. We
well remember the European mole, a
short, broad, little fellow with a nose

like a hog and only rudimentary eyes,
and a beautiful soft, black fur. " Many
a one I have skinned for his hide. The
village mole catcher in the rural dis-
tricts of England is paid by the parish,
and is as useful, if not so ornamental, a
personage asi the village parson. We
also have moles in North America, more
common, I believe, in the southern than
northern states, and they are not iden-
tical with their European cousins. We
have had them in the violet houses for
the past two years, and they "raised
Cain" with the soil among the plants,
but, so far as we could discover, did no
harm to the plants, because the mole is
carnivorous. His food is worms and
grubs that he finds in the soil. Their
extermination is desired in this country
and in the "auld sod" because they
heave up unsightly mounds of earth,
often in the finest lawns. So much for
the mole, and I shall not believe that
he will eat roots or leaves of any plant
until someone better informed lets me
know.

Now for the field mouse — a very dif-
ferent creature. We will start off by
calling him a devil, although his tail
is more abbreviated than that of the
orthodox devil that we used to have
described to us in our young and inno-
cent days. The field mouse that is
such a trouble and worry to us is about
twice the weight of a house mouse, small
ears, short tail and large, bright eyes.
They burrow in the ground; in fact,
they keep house there, but come up to
feed on any green stuff that can be
found. We never see them in the sum-
mer time, because they have the fields
to roam in . but as soon as hard frost
sets in they find their way into the
houses. Young carnations" are their
choicest morsels, and one healthy
mouse will pinch or "stop" a hundred
young plants in a night, only they
"stop" them rather short.

Like all the rats and mice, they cut
off far more than they devour, just to
keep their teeth in good order. They
are most destructive and troublesome
to get rid of. If they would eat wood-
cock sandwiches or drink champagne we
might doctor those dainty articles, but
they are strictly vegetarian, and, while
toasted cheese will make a house mouse
desert his wife and family, it has no
fascination for our enemy. They will,
however, for a change, sample a little
corn meal occasionally, and a little of
that sprinkled on a small spring trap
will lure them to destruction. The trap
we use is a little flat wooden contriv-
ance, and when they step on it a wire
falls down on their backs and gives them
a fashionable waist.

We have poisoned them by putting ar-
senic with the meal, but you must be
very patient over the job. For a week
at least you must put down nothing but
pure meal, and don't put it on a plate,
saucer or piece of wood or glass, for
mousie will know directly that the ban-
quet is spread for him and will decline
with thanks. .Tust drop it carefully on
the edge board or on the soil. They
will take a nibble and find it harmless.
Then they will eat a little more and
cultivate a taste for it, as we do for
tobacco and, well, most anything but
milk, which is our first and natural
food. After a few good feeds Mr.
Mouse will tell his wife, children,
mother-in-law. uncle and aunt that the
meal is all right, that thev need not be
afraid, etc.. and so they all get a liking
for the change of diet, and when you
find the meal disappearing nightly is
your time to add a little' arsenic. 'and

several mice have departed to the happy
hunting ground.

This article is already long enough,
longer even than Burns' address to the
mouse, the manuscript of which, if it is
in existence, would be worth several
thousand dollars. But I would just like
to say that in the economy of nature
things are pretty well balanced. One
creature preys and feeds on another and
keeps the equilibrium fairly poised. It
is, however, certain that during the re-
markable ages of the past countless
types of animals have lived, flourished
and passed away, and those now on
earth we will for brevity's sake call
the "survival of the fittest." So
things were not all made perfect at
first. It would be a very humdrum,
melancholy world if all were perfect
now. So in the extermination of the
field mouse the economy of nature would
not receive a solar plexus. At the same
time it is essentially proper that we, as
gardeners and farmers, should have in-
sects, fungi and rodents to fight. It
keeps us going, rewards the watchful
and alert, and, as David Harum says.
"It's good for a dog to have fleas, 'cause
it reminds him he's only a dog."

ST. LOUIS WORLD'S FAIR.

The accompanying plan shows the ar-
rangement and position of the buildings
to be devoted to agriculture and to hor-
ticulture at the Louisiana Purchase Ex-
position, to be held in St. Louis in 1904.

The Palace of Horticulture is on
the summit of Skinker Hill, and is
separated from the Palace of Agricul-
ture by 250 feet of model landscape
gardens. The building is 400 by 800
feet, and is in the form of a cross with
a center pavilion, 400 feet square, and
two wings, each 204 by 230 feet. The
wings are divided from the center pa-
vilion by glass partitions and the
floor of "each is nine feet lower than
that of the center pavilion. This dif-
ference in elevation produces a mon-
umental effect, which is further height-
ened by the use in the main entrance
on the north front of two towers 150
feet high.

The east wing of the building is al-
most entirely of glass and will be used
as a conservatory. A water-heating
plant is to be installed in the cellar.
The west wing is used for general hor-
ticultural exhibits. In the basement of

this wing cold storage is provided for
the fruit to be exhibited. A gallery is
provided on three sides. The west and
north galleries will be used as res-
taurants, and the southern gallery will
be used as offices for the working force
of the department. The center pavilion
will contain the fruit exhibits.

The construction of the building
shows no change from the accepted
method of the other buildings. The ex-
hibit spaces are covered by trusses,
which range in span from 72 feet over
the center aisle to 48 feet over the side
aisles. The horticultural building is
one of the few which are to be tinted.

"A WOMAN'S HARDY GARDEN."

I have read with deep interest frag-
ments of a book for amateurs published
last fall by MncMillan & Co., of New
York. In its way it is as valuable a
book as "Scott's Manual." Even to the
expert florist it will prove interesting
reading, possibly instructive on some
points. The title is "A Woman's Hardy
Garden." written by Helena Rutherford
Ely and beautifully illustrated with
photographs taken in her garden, which
appears to be in New York state, prob-
ably on the North river.

I see my horticultural friends smile
when they have read thus far and ask
whether "Phil" is really advocating
"old woman's gardening." Not in the
sense in which they mean it — experiences
with ash-heap plants that sprouted, ger-
aniums that lived suspended by their
roots in the cellar all winter, and that
sort of thing — but in its broad sense I
am an advocate of all gardening,
whether by woman or man, old or
young. Every amateur who cares for
plant life will do something to help

To return to the book, it gives a
graphic description in remarkably clear
language of the successes and failures
of a hardy garden. The owner has not
had the aid of a pane of glass to help
in starting her plants or growing them
on. They are chiefly perennials and bien-
nials, with some annals and bulbs. She
evidently has had money at her com-
mand, but much could be done, as she
points out, with far less expense.

There are some cultural notes in the
book that will startle our experts as
much as did Mr. McMillan's effects in

green or hi3 grace of York's essay on
watering, but it may do them lots of
good, and no harm can come from the
fresh ideas and from seeing ourselves as
others see us.

The real value of the book to the flor-
ist is to put it in the hands of his cus-
tomers; it will show them what ama-
teurs like themselves have done and
spur them on to fresh efforts. The flor-
ist who works with his customers to
produce effective hardy gardens, be they
large or small, will build up his own
business on a firm foundation. Phil.

STEVIA SERRATA AND
COMPACTA.

Will you kindly tell me how and when
to propagate Stevia serrata? What is
its season of bloom? Also answer the
same questions in regard to Stevia com-
pacta. I suppose they can be grown for
a succession of blooms.

Southebn Florist.

It seems like going back to the honey-
moon days to mention Stevia serrata or
compacta. I have mentioned in my
scribblings many times the useful S.
serrata. Its culture is most simple and
it is rather too rank a grower. Plants
that were cut down at Christmas and
New Year's for their bloom should be
cut off evenly (just for sake of tidi-
ness) to within six inches of the pot.
Put them in any cool house above freez-
ing. In March they will send out any
quantity of cuttings which root like a
scandal and want only the coolest house
until planting out time. Just here let
me say that S. serrata thrives in a few
degrees above freezing, but like the cin-
eraria, wants none of it. Plant them
out at the end of May. two feet between
the plants. They will want pinching
about twice during the summer. Lift
them before danger of frost, and they
will want 6, 7 or 8-inch pots. Of course,
when potting them you will put them in
the shade and keep them there until
they have begun to grow in the pots.
Now comes the real and only point in
growing this common plant. You want
the flowers at Christmas and New
Year's. The feathery and light flowers
many times fill a place with really artis-
tic people that even a vase of American
Beauty roses would not do. The great
object with us in the north is to keep

them from flowering until December, and
therefore we keep them out of doors
as long as possible, protecting them from
early frosts and letting them have the
full sunshine and beautiful outdoors
until the last possible moment. You
can treat S. compacta just the same,
but it is not worth growing. We have
outlived such poor, gray, stiff, formal
flowers. I heard within a day or two
that florists in Baltimore (I mean, of
course, the market variety) helped out
their bouquets with the panicles of wild
carrot. Why not, as long as there is a
dollar in it?" A drowning man grasps at
a straw. William Scott.

NEW YORK.

Club Meeting.

The regular meeting of the club Mon-
day evening brought out thirty mem-
bers. W. F. Sheridan presented an elab-
orate report from the transportation
committee, including letters from sev-
eral railroads, relating the advantages
of the various lines as routes to the
"famous" convention city. The route
via Chicago, with stop-over there, had
already been decided upon. The discus-
sion enlisted the oratorical talent of
Messrs. Sheridan, O'Mara, Beaulieu, But-
terfield, Wheeler, Manda and Troy and
a vote showed a decided preference for
the West Shore, but the decision was
left to the committee. Arrangements
will probably be made whereby the party
can leave New York Sunday morning
and be in Chicago Monday. The outing
committee presented a program of sports
showing prizes enough to send every
competitor home happy. July 1 is the
date and Mr. Traendly reported a big
sale of tickets. He asks that every one
who has not accepted the tickets sent
will communicate with him at once if
he expects to be present, for the com-
mittee must make dinner arrangements.
The committee has worked hard and is
entitled to every consideration. Hospit-
able letters from J. F. Sullivan and the
Detroit Florists' Club were read, invit-
ing the eastern delegation to visit De-
troit enroute to the convention. They
were referred to the transportation com-
mittee. Resolutions on the death of
F. L. Harris were presented by W. A.
Manda and J. H. Troy. A splendid ex-
hibit of peonies was shown by C. W.
Ward, of the Cottage Gardens, and Chas.
Lenker, of Freeport. Mme. Perret and
mixed pansies were shown by Beaulieu,
of Woodhaven. The committee, Messrs.
Plumb, O'Mara and Lenker, awarded a
certificate of merit to Mr. Ward for his
grand pink. No. 130, honorable mention

to Mr. Beaulieu. This gentleman also
showed a hose roller of his own invention
on which he has applied for a patent.
Mr. Engreen, of Woodhaven, was elect-
ed to membership. The nominating com-
mittee was named by President Troy
and consists of W. F. Sheridan, A.
Burns, P. O'Mara, Wm. Plumb, J. N.
May and J. H. Taylor. The club has

meeting is the second Monday in Octo-
ber.

Various Notes.

The first meeting of the bowlers
was called for Tuesday evening
at the alleys at Broadway and 31st
street, with Capt. Lang in charge. A
good team for Milwaukee is assured and

steady practice will be kept up until
August, most of the old members par-
ticipating.

Dunne & Co., at 54 W. 30th street,
report a very satisfactory season in rus-
tic work. At their city workshop,
507 W. 21st street, and their factory at
Rondont, they are working to the full
capacity. They claim to be the largest
manufacturers of rustic work in the U.
S.

John A. Scollay is erecting complete
an iron frame greenhouse 25x175 for
I has. Weber, of Lynbrook, L. I., heat-
ing to be with the Scollay boiler.

The long drought has greatly affected
the peony crop, both as to quality and
quantity, and the end of the cut is
rapidly approaching.

At last, after nearly two months of
most calamitous drought, the spell is
broken and the generous rain is here.
The whole east rejoices in the welcome
downpour and for nearly forty-eight
hours the good work has been going on.

The genial western ventilator man,
of Richmond, Ind., J. A. Evans, honored
this village with a call last week and
is quite enthusiastic as to the Milwau-
kee convention, predicting the largest at-
tendance on record.

W. E. Marshall, whose debut we an-
nounced last week, will not only do a
seed business but will deal in nursery
stock, bulbs and all kinds of horticul-
tural supplies.

W. C. Krick, of Brooklyn, will spend
a well earned holiday with his family
in the Catskills early in July, visiting
later the convention city with his usual
exhibit and some of his late inventions.
Mr. Krick is proud of a gold medal and
diploma just received from Rome, Italy,
and awarded at the exhibition held there
in 1902.

P. St. John, assistant superintendent
of parks in New York City, who was
transferred from Brooklyn in December
last, died last week of appendicitis. He
was a great favorite with all who knew
him, generous and genial, and his loss
is regretted by a large circle of friends
and horticultural associates.

Siebreeht & Son are cutting some fine
cattleyas from their orchid houses in
New Roehelle. Their new building, cor-
ner of 38th street and Fifth avenue,
will soon begin to rise. It will be a
"white palace" when completed, six
stories in height and 01x125. with win-
dow boxes on every side, and bays and
immense palms on the roof, making it
the most unique and handsome estab-
lishment of its kind in the world.

The Rosary, in its new store and con-
servatory on 34th street, already looks
at home and the display inside of topi-
ary novelties and a special importation
of bays and Japan horticultural novel-
tie* is most interesting. Mr. Troy, the
president of the company, leaves for a
two months' trip to Europe June 27,
visiting England, France, Italy, Holland
and Belgium (and Ireland on the side)
and combining business with pleasure.

Mr. Ward, of Hagemann & Co., left
on Friday last for Europe, his first trip
to the land of the valley.

American Gardening, after a six
weeks' rest, is again in the field in a
new dress and under new control, Leon-
ard Barron retaining his position as edi-
tor, a place he has occupied since 1893,
and also assuming the management of
the paper for the new proprietors,
Messrs. Thos. B. Meehan, of Philadel-
phia; Charles L. Yates, of Rochester;

James McHutehison, of New York City,
and D. W. Wittpenn.

June weddings are not as numerous as
the retailers could desire and yet there
were sixteen of them last Wednesday in
and around New York among the "600,"
which were fairly well apportioned
among the leading florists. Mr. McCon-
nell reports three of them and an abund-
ance of steamer work. The bouquets
for the Pruyn wedding at Albany, sent
by this house, were of white orchids and
valley and white peonies. Their decora-
tion for the Miner wedding was very
handsome, many arches of sweet peas
being the prominent feature of an artis-
tic piece of work, with white peonies on
the pews and in the chancel. Mr. Mc-
Connell also had the Granger wedding,
where Parsons' rhododendrons were
much in evidence.

Thomas Young, Jr.'s, Fifth avenue
store had charge of the Hazen wedding
at Pelham Manor on Tuesday of this
week. He has the Fyfe wedding. The
bouquets will be lily of the valley and
white orchids. July 15 Mr. Young has
the contract for the Brownell-Mcrrill
wedding at Hubbardsville, near Syra-
cuse. J. Austin Shaw.

GRAND HAVEN, MICH.

Death of George Hancock.

George Hancock, one of the pioneers
of Ottawa county and senior member of
the firm of George Hancock & Son, flor-
ists, died June 6. Mr. Hancock had been
in poor health for the past year, but
his indomitable will kept him up and
about his duties until two days before
his demise, when his condition became
serious.

Mr. Hancock was born in Devonshire,
England. April 27, 181S. He was mar-
ried in 1846 to Joan Howard, and Mr.
and Mrs. Hancock came to New York in
1849. They came on to Michigan in
1865, settling at Spring Lake, where
he became engaged in the lumbering
business, operating a mill on the site
of the present mineral springs near the
Spring Lake Hotel.

He removed to Grand Haven in 1877
and has been a resident of this city
ever since. Mr. Hancock always led an
active life and was prominent in carry-
ing forward any enterprise that might
lead to the improvement of the com-
munity. He was one of the first men
in Michigan to introduce the cultivation
of celery in this state. His first experi-
ments with celery were made as early
as 1866. On account of his poor health
and the consequent necessity of an out-
door occupation, Mr. Hancock took up
the business of raising fruits and veg-
etables in 1872. Later he added the
floral department to his establishment
and his success in these lines was re-
markable. For years his son, James G.
Hancock, has been associated with him
under the firm name of George Hancock
& Son. The carnation was one of their
specialties.

Mrs. Hancock died on January 31,
1894, and Mr. Hancock is survived by
his son, James G. Hancock, junior mem-
ber of the firm; his daughter, Mrs.
Frank O. Bury, of Detroit, and seven
grandchildren. The funeral was held
from the late residence on Washington
avenue Monday afternoon at 3 oclock.

Ann Arbor, Mich. — James Goodhue
will build a rose house 22x120.

CHICAGO.

The Market.

Local demand is very light this week,
but the country is buying fairly well.
In fact, it would be called a week of
good shipping but for the fact that some
of the best towns have been cut off by
the flood, including Topeka, Kansas
City, St. Louis and southwestern points.
From Thursday of last week up to Tues-
day the express companies refused Kan-
sas City shipments and in several cases
goods which had been forwarded v»ere
returned two or three days later. St.
Louis was accessible only by way of
Cairo on Monday and Tuesday and even
Nashville was refused on Monday. This
has hurt the value of shipping stock to
a certain degree.

The peonv is prettv nearlv the whole
thing this week; it is the height of the
season. There is a great deal more of
this stock in market than ever before,
but up to the present very good prices
have prevailed, and it looks as though
the increased demand for this flower
would take up the supplies as well as
in former years, unless the quantities
going into cold storage should prove un-
wieldy at the close of the season.

Some good Beauties are offered, also
extra Liberty, Chatenay and Meteor,
with a few good Kaiserin. Brides and
Maids are poor but plentiful. Carna-
tions are nothing to brag about, but
there are plenty of them, also valley,
gladioli, Harrisii and all the odds and
ends.

Various Notes.

A good many carnations have been
going to waste this spring, possibly
more than ever before. One reason is
that the basket men are not on the
curb to work off the poor grades; the
Greek indoors is as fastidious as anybody
in times of plenty. But another reason
for the loss of stock can be laid to the
growers themselves Many of them ship
only twice a week, which is bad prac-
tice at any time and particularly so when
stock is plentiful or soft. On a re-
cent afternoon a shipment of 400 Pros-
perity was noted from a grower who had
not been heard from for three days. Had
he shipped 100 each day he would have
received a good price, but as it w:-- 1 uere
were so many sleepy flowers ••■■;■ the
whole lot was practically valui i--- I he
rule should be to ship every dai cue
better price for fresh stock will lar
more than make up for any increased
express charges.

Some very good peonies have been com-
ing in from Bryant & Son, of Prince-
ton, 111. They have a very fine soil, but.
like many who do not make cut flowers a
large feature of their business, they do
not appreciate the care necessary to put
the goods on the market in the proper
shape, and the wholesaler has to put a
good deal of work on the stock to get
anything like the right value for the
crop.

The Hanna wedding at Cleveland
made a call for good stock Monday. Bas-
sett & Washburn shipped Smith & Fet-
ters 1,500 white peonies among other
items.

Kennicotts have had Canterbury lulls
this week, but found little call. The
peony occupies the center of the stage
just now.

Robert Northam. of Weiland & Bisch,
and Miss Robinson were married on
Wednesdav evening. Thev will be in

Wisconsin for a month on their wed-
ding trip.

E. C. Amling is getting in Beauties
from the voung stock of the South Park
Floral Co'.

John Zeck, of J. A. Budlong's, has been
at Peoria this week, attending a con-
vention of Foresters.

W. X. Rudd, at Mt. Greenwood, has
planted one house of Ivory chrysanthe-
mums and next week will plant two
houses of carnations, one of Phyllis and
the other of Lawson and its white sport.

The Florists' Club trustees have rent-
ed the hall at 417 Handel Hall. This is
the room in which the club met a couple
of years ago and was all that was to
be had for Wednesday nights.

This is visitors' week at Peterson's
Nursery, the peonies being in bloom.

A. Dietsch has returned from his win-
ter in Mexico and the southwest. He is
much improved in health.

Sinner Bros, have a field of 30,000
plants of Mrs. Lawson in fine shape.

Wietor Bros, are getting a particular-
ly good cut of Meteor and Kaiserin.

Although there has been a big trade
in bedding plants, W. N Rudd, at Mt.
Greenwood, reporting an increase of 25
per cent, many of the growers have con-
siderable stock, on hand, particularly
geraniums.

Walter Kreitling will move, eventu-
ally, because the city has condemned
the building in which his store has been
located for years.

Chas. Balluff has been doing two
weeks on jury and says it will take two
weeks more to get rested up.

Visitors: C. O. Williams, Batavia,

Next Tuesday evening will finish the
schedule of thirty games. A meeting

PHILADELPHIA.

Business is much quieter this week
than last; in fact, it is a trifle dis-
appointing. The quantity of roses com-
ing into town is enormous. One grower
with two 150-foot houses planted with
Brides and Maids sent in 1,600 blooms
on Monday. Many others cut nearly
as well proportionately. Carnations are
not so much overdone. There is a fair
demand for the good stock, of which
there is a moderate supply. The best
seen come to Pennock from H. Weber
& Sons, Oakland, Md. Prosperity and
Genevieve Lord are superb, giving evi-
dence of the advantages of culture and
cool mountain air during the summer
months. Sweet peas, outdoor grown, are
daily becoming more plentiful. They are
in fair demand, as also are valley. Lil-
ies, both Harrisii and candidum of good
quality, with long stems, can be had in
quantity. Both smilax and asparagus
are in demand. Gladioli don't seem to
sell. Mignonette is over.

The June meeting of the Florists'

Club, held last week, was well attended
and interesting. The paper on pipe read
by Walter Whetstone was worthy of a
good deal of thought by the growers. A
discussion followed. Then matters per-
taining to Milwaukee in the future and
to Morrisville next week were taken up
(I hope you are going on both trips),
which wa's followed by a lively debate.
The bowlers, with the handsome trophy
won for the second time in the league
tournament, feel that now is the time
to make the alleys of regulation length.
The members generally want to do as
the bowlers wish, but thought the change
necessary in the club room unwise and
voted against it.

Notes.

Wednesday, June 17, 8 a. m., steamer
Riverside leaves Chestnut street wharf
for Trenton, thence to Morrisville to
visit the nursery of Samuel C. Moon.

W. E. McKissick and Miss Bessie
Chaundy were married Wednesday even-
ing. Mr. McKissick is well and favor-
ably known as right hand man to Leo
Niessen. His friends, and they are
many, wish bride and bridegroom health,
wealth and happiness.

Robert Craig & Son had the decora-
tion for the wedding of A. J. Cassatt's
daughter on Monday. Harrisii lilies,
American Beauties and plants were used.

Stephen Mortensen is sending some
extra fine tea roses to S. S. Pennock.

J. J. Habermehl's Sons are sending
some nice, long-stemmed Harrisii lilies
to the Flower Market.

William J. Baker is receiving the
first Lilium candidum which I have seen
here this season.

The June meeting of the Germantown
Horticultural Society was held on Mon-
day evening in Association Hall. It was
rose night. Some fine displays were
made, though the season is far ad-
vanced. Joseph Meehan read a good
paper on pruning shrubs.
Bowling.

Eighteen players have entered the
contest for places on the team of seven —
six regulars and one substitute — who
will represent this city in the tourna-
ment at Milwaukee in August. Twenty-
one games will be rolled by each com-
petitor, three each evening for six even-
ings on neutral alleys and three on the
final evening on the home alleys. Wed-
nesdav has been selected as play night,
although the excursion to Morrisville
may make it necessary to choose an-
other evening for next week. The Re-
view is indebted to Captain George M.
Moss for the first night's scores. In
each game the seven players having the
high scores take one point each. The
seven players with the largest number
of points' will form the team. This is
believed to be an improvement on last
year's method of choosing, as every game
counts the same.

TheWeekly Florists' Review*

The Market.
The demand for cut flowers during
the past week was a great deal better
than was expected, and the supply at
the wholesale houses was fairly good.
The glut has disappeared and the whole-
sale "men claim that very little stock
is going to waste at present, and that
stock of the first grade is selling out
clean, not enough of it coming in for the
demand. Some very elaborate decora-
tions for weddings were made by West
End florists, which called for a big lot
of choice stock. A large amount of
smilax was used for these weddings.
Most of our florists claim that the month
of June will be a good one for busi-
ness, as school closings are also on for
this month] and that a large number of
orders have already been booked for
these occasions. Funeral work was
plentiful the pas! week, and some very
large ami elaborate designs were made
up. The plant, trade, which is now at
an end. is reported as the best in years
bv some, while all say it was up to the
average. Stock of all kinds was plenti-
ful, and some have a large number of
geraniums left over. The prices, too,
were much better than last year.

The past week it rained almost every
dav, while in the east we read that they
are very much in need of rain. But,
thru, this is always the way in our busi-
ness : one has too much of a thing and
the other has nothing. We have no re-
ports as yet of any damage from the
flood around here, and we hope that
none will be reported. All trains are
late, and the expressmen report this
morning (Monday) that the chances are
no trains will be in from the east to-
morrow, as the tracks on the east side
have been washed away. This is a bad
state of affairs, for if 'nothing comes in
from the east flowers will be very scarce
by the end of this week.

Prices on stock have dropped some-
what since Decoration day. and the sup-
ply has been better. Sweet peas are hav-
ing a great demand. A good many of
them come in water soaked from the
heavv rains we have had of late. The
best bring 50 cents per 100. Long Beau-
ties are having a lug call, but the flow-
ers are poor and small and the supply
is limited. The shorts seem to have bet-
ter flowers and the supply is larger.
Some of the best Brides and Maids that
come in are badly mildewed, owing to the
1 night*'. Meteors and Liberties
are' much better, both in flower and foli-
1 are not mildewed. The same can
l,e said of Perles, dates and Carnots.
These were in good supply all of last
week, with a big demand, the prices
ranging from $3 to $6 per 100. ( n na-
tions are small, but the supply is about
equal to the demand. White has the
call. Very few fancies are in the mar-
1 el From $1 to $2 U asked for the
best common sorts. Callas and Har-
ri-ii are about out of the market. So

are pennies. C I valley seems scarce.

Gladioli are not overplentiful as yet.
In greens, smilax is in fine and is quite
plentiful, with a good demand. Some
new fancy ferns are coming in. and this
seems to please the trade very much.
Notes.
Harry Balsley, the pot man from De-
troit, is in town. Harry has many
friends here who are always glad to see
him.

Quite a few of our nurserymen will
leave to-morrow (Tuesday) for Detroit
to attend the convention of the Ameri-
can Association of Nurserymen.

Park Commissioner Aull has not yet
appointed the new superintendent. Mr.
Anil says that the appointment will be
made just as soon as Mayor Wells re-
turns from the east.

The first Sunday opening of Shaw's
Garden this year attracted a record-
breaking crowd, thousands coming and
going all day long. Prof. Trelease and his
large staff "of assistants were in their
glory, and many questions had to be
answered by them. The garden is in
tiptop shape and many new collections
have been added since' the last Sunday
opening. The orchid house, which is
under the care of young Mr. McClure,
late of Buffalo, is in fine condition.

Bowline.

The bowling club on last Monday
night rolled four games with a large at-
tendance, twelve being present, with a
visitor. Harry Balsley, who refused to
roll. The roiling was a great improve-
ment over last Monday. The scores
were as follow-s:

directors will be held. It is hoped that
a large number of members will be pres-
ent. The two flower shows that will be
given in this city during the fall festival
in September will be held under the
direction of this society. There is $1,000
offered for prizes and competition is
open to all. The question of an outing
will also be brought up. The outings of
the past couple of years have not been
very Mirrost'ul. and suggestions are in
order. A trip to the Soldiers' Home
at Dayton has been spoken of and there
seems to be a popular desire to go there.

F. W. Ball spent a day in Chicago
last week buying stock.

Ed Murphy was the host of a large
gathering of his relatives and friends
at his home during the past week. It
was a jolly crowd.

F. W. Hardesty is spending the sum-
mer among the green hills of Kentucky;
that is. in the Highlands. He has turned
into a first-class farmer and can talk
potatoes, beans, tomatoes, etc., with the
best of them.

Albert Grey was on the sick list dur-
ing the past week.

Kodger Peterson is home after a long
stay in Philadelphia. He is contem-
plating a trip to Europe to put the fin-
ishing touches on his floral education.

C. P. Dieterieh, of Maysville, Ky
w as a recent caller.

C. J. Ohmer.

The past week reminded us somewhat
of the good old winter time, as there
was a general rush to secure stock.
Everything was in demand and buyers
did not stop to discuss the price. This
was caused mostly by the numerous
school commencements. In the end there
was plenty of stock to go around, as
large quantities were shipped in from
out of town. At present the demand has
quieted somewhat, but the coming week
is expected to bring good trade, as there
are many wedding decorations. Ship-
ping trade is very good, as most small
florists are out of cut stock.

Boses are about equal to the demand.
American Beauties are somewhat im-
proved in quality, the color being very
good. The majority of Brides and Maids
are of poor quality. The cool weather
of the past few weeks helped them some-
what, but they cannot last much lon-
■_■, i Meteor and Liberty still continue
scarce. Franz Deegen is in fine form.

Carnations, with some growers, are
holding out nicely. The general supply
is about equal to the demand. The heavy
rains made havoc with outdoor sweet
peas and indoor ones are about over.
Some good corn flowers are in and sell
fairly well. A double variety of this
flower is very pretty and sells quickly.
There are plenty of greens.

Club Meeting.

\i the meeting of the club on Wednes-
dav ln-t it was practically decided to go
to Milwaukee in August via the Grand
Trunk to Grand Haven and across Lake
Mi.-hican by boat, and it was voted to
invite all brethren of the craft to jour-
nev with us and enjoy the night's rest
on the boat. Those from Buffalo and
vicinity can come by boat on Sunday
evening and spend Monday in Detroit,
and those from Cleveland can come either
bv boat Sunday night or day boat on
Mend. iv and join us, leaving by train
at 5 p. in. on the Grand Trunk, and we
shall be pleased to have our Canadian
brethren also. The railroad people prom-
ise to furnish special cars, etc.. for us,
and a merry time can be had from 5
p. m. until 11. at which time we leave
Grand Haven by boat. The fare also
is less by this route, being only $9.60
for the round trip from Detroit, includ-
ing berths on the steamer, as against
$15 on all-rail routes, including berths
(fare figured at the reduced rates). The
D. & B" and D. & C. boat lines will sell
tickets to Milwaukee via Grand Trunk
from here, thus making a very cheap rate
for all. I shall be pleased to reserve
berths on steamer and make all arrange- ,
ments here as to special cars, etc., if no-
tified of the number who wish to come
and join us, and we hope that many will.

and Treas.. S. F. Wlllard, Wethersflt
Tin- twenty-first
at Philadelphia <

City, June

W. W. Barnard is on his farm at Le-
Roy, Ind.

The demand for tuberose bulbs has
been rather lighl this season and dealers
are in no hurry to place contracts for
1003 crop.

The railroads make a special rate of
one and one-third fare for the round
trip to the seed trade convention at At-
lantic City.

California reports promise a full
crop of the yellow varieties of onion
seed, with white up to the average and
red somewhat short.

Visited Chicago.— John T. Buekbee
and R. H. Shumway, of Roekford, 111.;
James B. Kidd, representing the Cox
Seed Co., San Francisco.

Moderate rain has helped the cab-
bage seed crops on Long Island, but it
came too late to repair the serious re-
sults of the extended drought.

H. B. Beattv, traveler for W. W.
Barnard & Co., has quit the seed busi-
ness and has taken a position with
Spink's Shoe Co., as head salesman.

John Eldering. formerly partner of
Eldering Brothers and of late years
connected with different bulb houses in
New York, died May 27, in Newport, R.
I., aged 40 years.

Bean planting in the Michigan dis-
tricts is well under way, two-thirds of
the total acreage being already sown.
The weather and soil conditions are
very favorable for a good starl

W. W. Rawson & Co., Boston, report
as follows: "It has been a most sat-
isfactory season to u-. Although prices
have been extremely high, we have ex-
perienced no difficulty on that account."

The damage to the onion •' fields in
the flooded district is mote -eiioti- than
was at first anticipated. The difficulty
hi- been to get on the ground in time
to do anything toward saving the crop.

The latest report from the California
bean growing district mentions some of
the pole varieties as having rotted in
the ground. Previous reports gave cerj
good accounts of all beans in the coasl
district.

The summer wholesale lists of the
seedsmen so far received show that
prosperity may strike the seed trade.
The majority will agree that the in-
clination to advance wholesale prices is
quite proper.

B. H. Stair, and finally by the late A.

boy shortly after the business was first
moved to this spot, and whose sons have
for the past ten or twelve years con-
ducted the business.

II. F. Henry sails for Bermuda in a
few days. He estimates the Harrisii
crop as*20 per cent under last year. Mr.
Stumpp, of Stumpp & Walter Co., sails
for Bermuda June 20, accompanied by
bis wife and son.

There is a great lack of practical
seedsmen. Some of the large employers
of labor in this line say that the young

ii graduating from the several agrieul-

iinal colleges bee le good seedsmen in a

shorter time than those taking up the
work with any other training.

The Leonard Seed Company. Chicago.
is getting its trial ground in shape. It
is expected that several thousand dif-
ferent tests of garden vegetables will
show up in it. The aim is to make it
as complete a test ground for vege-
table varieties as is possible.

Remittances from the June 1st
statements of the wholesale seedsmen
are coming in full and strong. There
seems to be a healthy tone to all letters
accompanying same. This speaks well for
the 1903 "campaign of the traveling seed
sellers; they are a cheerful lot and
ill the orders they get.

SEED TESTING AT ST. LOUIS.

One of the interesting seed exhibits
at the St. Louis Wot Id's Pair is to be a
live-acre tract given over to grass, the
|iiii|inse being to demonstrate the char-
acter and utility of the many lawn mix-
tures, ornamental and economic grasses.
The seed production section will occupy

large area. Here the seeds grown in
all [ait- of the world are to lie tested
side in side by < fficials ol I lie Depart-
nienl of Agriculture. As an example,
seed wheat grown in Washing! < n. tin
Dakotas, Maine, Florida, and iti Europe,
\ .,a and An ica, are planted in adjoin-
ing sections.. Other experiments with
all the other important agricultural
products are similarly to be made. An-
"il.i i section west of that devoted to seed
production is one equally important and
interesting, illustrating tin- fibre plants,
then growth and the best approved
an i boils of handling.

There is nothing of unusual interest
in the market at present, but it is
strange, in view of the great production
during the past month, the plants do
not at length become exhausted and sud-
denly cease blooming. This is the way
my memory tells me the ease has for-
merly been, but now the supply seems
to keep up as if unlimited, especially
so far as roses and carnations go. But
the greater portion of them are small in
size and of inferior color, so that re-
turns average very low. Another fea-
ture is that the very dry weather has
hurried up the outdoor Jacques, as well
as everything else; they are not only
unusually early but very poor in qual-
ity. Peonies, rooting deeply, have
withstood the drought in better shape,
and are quite good.

Next week will be no better. The
crowd will be drinking pink lemonade

and eating peanuts at Barnum's, and
they don't use bouquets at the circus.

Trade during the last couple of weeks
has kept up equal to, it' not ahead of,
other years, while some of our best
retail stores far exceed last year's busi-
ness, on account of the big call for flow-
ers during the stay of the governor
general and the special interest taken in
our races by society, on account of the
vice regal party attending. June wed-
dings are in full swing and we notice
.i strong demand for good Brides and
Maids, which have kept, decidedly good
thus far this season. ( arnations have
been overplentiful, especially the cheaper
qualities, and we notice them being ad-
vertised by our department stores down
as low as 9 cents a dozen, retail.

HARTFORD, CONN.

The Florists' Club held a well attend-
ed meeting June 2, it being the last in-
door meeting until fall. There were a
number of invited guests present, and a
most enjoyable evening was spent. After
business a social session followed. Re-
freshments were served and R. S. Mc-
Gee and R. Simonds gave a number of
comic recitations which were much en-
joyed. It was voted to suspend regular
meetings for the next three months and
during this time meetings will be held
at the call of the president. Arrange-
ments are under way whereby a joint
outing of the Hartford Florists' Club.
the New Haven Horticultural S...-i.-i \ .
the New London Florists' Club and the
Bridgeport Florists' Club will be held in
the near future. J. F. Huss made an
exhibit of flowers of a large number of
perennials and gave a very interesting
talk on them. Robert Karlstrom, gar-
dener at Elizabeth Park, brought in
ten varieties of rhododendrons, also four-
teen varieties of azaleas and a very
striking and beautiful poppy. Certifi-
cates of merit were awarded to Eliza-
beth Park nurseries and to Mr. Huss
for their exhibits. The judges i . . . i ],,.
evening were G. A. Parker. W. W. Hunt
and H. J. Koehler.

H. J. Koehler, forester at Keney Park,
and one of the charter members of the
club, is soon to leave the city, and this
announcement was listened to with
much regret. Resolutions were unani-
mously voted making him an honorary
member of the club.

WASHINGTON, D. C.

Business continues fairly brisk, with
commencements and weddings callins for
considerable stock, but all" prices have
dropped since last report. The best tea
roses can be had for 3 cents, and carna-
tions for 1 cent. The qualities hold up
veu tvell for so late in the season. Beau-
ties are rather plentiful and sell at from
$1 to $2 a doze.n.

There was a large attendance at our
monthly club meeting on June 3. Peter
Bissett exhibited some very fine hybrid
roses. At our next meeting Mr. Bissett
will present a paper entitled •'The Host

PROVIDENCE, R. I.

Business since Easier lias kept up
fairly well, funeral work making up the
greater bulk of the amount done. The
weather since Easter lias been almost en-
tirely without rain and there has not
been any outdoot stock 1" amount t"
much and most of the indoor sleek is

not always paid. The average price was
3 cents. ' Koses wore of all grades and
prices. Some lilies brought 6 to 8 cents.
It's too bad the poor florists have to
work so long and hard for so little at
this time. The public, wants something
large and showy for very small amount
and after making 150 per cent at Easter
it's hard to come down to 50 per cent
or less at- Decoration time and have to
handle about the same amount ..; -i.,,

This city is now a bower of roses.
the spring' season of bloom being at its
height.

W. E. King recently had an order for
2,000 feet of Asparagus plumosus to be
used in a decoration at one of the
hotels.

Thos. Thompson's carnations are a
credit to that gentleman's ability as a
grower. They rank with the best any-
where, lb' supplied several very at-
tractive floral arrangements for }lo-
niorial dav. cyclamen flowers living very
effectually used in addition to carna-
tions, rose-, tuberoses and adiantum.

E. Leedham lias several acres of
dahlias that promise to be" very inter-
esting this summer. flower buds are
already showing on some oi the plant-'.
]lis out oi daffodils was large this
spring and will be still larger another
season. His paper-roofed house ba-
been very helpful in bringing in some
of his bullions llower- early and ill
lengthening their -tern-.

Geo. Butler & Son are preparing to
devote their glass entirely to cut flow-
ers and will make carnations a specialty.

Dr. Parker has some gloxinias that
are remarkably well furnished with
foliage. Each pot i- placed in a saucer
and they are watered from the bot-
tom only. G-.

THE MANUFACTURE OF PIPE.

11V WAI.TEK WHETSTONE.

Bead before the Florists' Club of
Philadelphia June -J. 1903:

I might say here that the process of
puddling by hand to make wrought Iron lias
never been improved upon ; that is, no me-
chanieal mean- has yet been invented to do
the wo-!. "I stirring that Land labor is now
employed in ■ I ■ . 1 1 1 -_- . A -treat many invent-
ors have tided 1,, s,,ive tJiis, problem, and the
latest report that we have on the solution
is thai a man is constructing a plant now
in Pottstown to experiment with mechanical
puddling devices and we trust that he in a
short time will have solved the problem,

this mark-' \-iy much longer, aa most buy-

il. are looking l',.r a cheap article.
and price, ratter than quality, is the thing

in. in- with the buyer. Just the other

da\ 1 had a talk with a large manufacturer
of' wrought iron pipe with whom I have
very close connect inn. and he told me that
if they had to sell iron pipe for the price
that steel pipe is quoted todav they would
have to go ,,iii of busines- inside of six
months ]r -com, ten -; range at the same
time thai there are not more people willing
to pi i tor a superior article of this kind,

inasmuch as ; h,. best wrought iron pipe only
eosis in per cent more than what is termed
a good steel pipe.

It has been said that iron pipe, to con-
form anywhere near to the price of steel
pipe, is diluted with setup iron. I do not

THE LARGEST MAP.

Growing on six acres of a gentle
southern slope of Tesson Hill at the
Louisiana Purchase Exposition, St.
Louis, is to be the largest geographically
correct map ever constructed. The map
is 480 feet long from east to west and
extends from north to south 240 feet.
The map is to be the main feature of the
large open air exhibit by the Bureau
of Plant Industry of the Department
oi Agriculture, and is personally super-
intended by D. A. Brodie. The idea is
to show the United States, with growing
crops planted as per the natural distri-
bution.

The several acres were fenced off earlv
in April, and the entire tract was richly
fertilized. The ground was plowed and
harrowed, the suil pulverized, and the
entire tract sowed to cow peas. This
crop not only enriches the soil, but pre-
vents the growth of weeds. When an
exhibit is ready to be installed the gar-
deners simply pull up the cow peas cov-
ering the space required, for the ground
then requires but little work.

A belt, of blue grass lawn 20 feel u ide
establishes the boundary and coast lines
of this gigantic map. The boundary
lines between the states are marked
by cinder paths three feet wide. That
part comprising the fourteen states and
territories of the Louisiana Purchase is
marked by a white gravel walk. Xot
only will the products of each state be
shown on this map by growing crops.
but the section of the state on which
each commodity is most grown will be
shown.

Woodstock. Ont. — A. H. Ewing re-
ports a lively interest in the Canadian
Horticultural Association, which holds
its sixth convention at Toronto Septem-
ber 2 and 3.

Middletowx, O. — Henry Behrens has
his stock in good shape in his recently
remodeled greenhouse.

Des Moines, Iowa. — The articles of
incorporation of the New Iowa Bird
Company declare its objects to be to
buy and sell seeds, floral stock, cut
flowers, birds, aquarium supplies, etc.
The incorporators are P. W. Madden, G.
E. Madden and T. G. Rickman.

St. Louis, Mo.— The World's Fair
rose garden has now been increased to
six acres. The site has proven all that
was expected and the plants are making
splendid progress.

Bloomsburg, Ta. — Reports as to the
season's work of Queen Louise carna-
tion seem to have justified J. L. Dillon's
faith in it.

Ottumwa. Ia. — C. Kranz reports the
spring trade seriously interfered with
i>\ ili continuous wet weather.

Big EAnos, Mich. — C. M. Buskirk is
building two greenhouses 18x100 for
roses and carnations.

Please stop the advertisements in the
Review. It's all right selling what's on
hand, but a fellow wants to kick him-
self when orders come in and he hasn't
any plants left. I will have something
else to offer in a few weeks. — August

Spring Valley, Minn. — G. A. B.
Howell is now sole owner of the Spring
Valley Nursery.

At the Iowa Agricultural College, at
Ames, a series of experiments is being
conducted to determine the value of ever-
greens as shelter belts for orchards, etc.

Rochester, N. Y. — The Graham Nurs-
ery Co. has been incorporated with a
capital stock of $10,000. The directors
are E. O. Graham, Cora M. Graham and
J. M. Campbell.

George C. Roeding, of Fresno, has
been asked by the state commissioners
to take the management of the horti-
cultural exhibit of California at the St.
Louis World's Fair.

Charleston, W. Va.— -The J. M. Neil
Co. has been incorporated to succeed
The Nursery & Seed- Co. The capital is
$10,000 and the company will deal in
seeds, nursery stock, implements, etc.
J. M. Neil is secretary and treasurer.

The twenty-seventh annual convention
of the American Association of Nur-
serymen was opened yesterday with a
very satisfactory attendance. There is
an interesting program but it is the
business transacted between the mem-
bers which makes the success of the
meeting.

Nursery stock can now be sold in the
state of Washington only after an annual
license has been secured (dating from
April 1) and bonds of $2,000 are filed
with the state horticultural commis-
sioner, by principals. Dealers are re-
quired to pay a fee of $5 for license and
their agents .*i2.j0 each for permits to
do business.

Strotjdsburg. Pa. — A new industry
has sprung up in Monroe county owing
to the great, demand for rhododendrons.
William Elwine, Young Price and
James E. Gravel are all working on
contracts getting rhododendrons for
shipment to Boston and other points.
Over 100 carloads have been shipped
from Cresco station during the last
year. Thirteen carloads were shipped
from Milanville.

CLEVELAND.

New Stores.

Cleveland, as a flower market, is
growing very fast, and in order to
supply the increased demand several
new retail stores have been opened in
the past few weeks. >ir. Harrison,
formerly with the J. M. Gasser Co., has
opened an up-to-date store on Pearl
street, near Franklin. This location is
one of the busiest on the west side. A
few blocks further south, at 021 Pearl
street, E. A. Wilhelm has established
a fine trade. At 710 Lorain street the
Ehrbar' Floral Co. has been located for
some time and is doing a good steady
trade, with about all the design work

they can possibly handle at present. A
short distance further west on the same
street C. J. Hippler has opened a new
store and reports that, trade has been
tai beyond his expectations.

Various Notes.

In the East End A. Graham & Sons
are very busy with plant trade and bed-
ding. They have the cream of the trade
in that section of the city. The F. R.
Williams Co. has just finished plant-
ing a house 35x150 to roses. They are
uiiiking a specialty of roses and maiden
hair ferns, having 12 large houses de-
voted to Maids. Brides and Meteors, and
two houses to adiantums for cut
fronds. The foreman, Mr. Brown, has
every reason to be satisfied with the
condition of the place. The cut is all
sold at wholesale from their store at
224 Huron street, where they do a gen-
eral wholesale and commission business.

At the corner of St. Clair and Eddy
Road J. W. Wilson has a fine place de-
voted to carnations. Mr. Wilson makes
a specialty of this flower and has had
very good success with it, sending in the
finest blooms seen in the Cleveland mar-
ket. His young plants in the field are
as good as anyone could ask for.

On the same road are located the
KJunze Bros., who grow a great many
geraniums and bedding plants and who
have a good trade established. Near
them is Fred Ponting. who grows about
20.000 geraniums each year.

A. Schmidt, of Burton avenue. Glen-
ville, seems to be very unlucky with
his horses, having one of them run away
the first part of the week, smashing the

,e-(

horses, consequently the loss is
Speaking of horses reminds

gentleman who grows the seedling car-
nal ion. Magdaline, a very beautiful
flower, and evidently a money maker.

H. P.. Carleton. of Willoughhy. Ohio,

of May 24. nearlj $800 on glass alone,
not to mention the damage to the
plants, of which he had a large stock

NEW BEDFORD, MASS.

We are surrounded today by - ke

from the forest fires in the vicinity. We
are not having as bad fires as they are
having in Maine, but there are hund-
reds of acres of pine forests burning and
the air is full of smoke. We have had

i tv ninths' drought, broken only by

a little rain in the small hours of the
early morning of May 30. when the
tired florists were busy putting up their
orders for early delivery. It did not.
wet the ground more than a quarter
ot an inch. If we do not get rain pretty
soon all plants in the field, and all
crops, will be ruined.

Memorial day was a record breaker
for the store men. partly becau-e there
was so little outdoor stock available,
which was quite a loss to some of the
growers. All cut. flowers were sold out,
about the nnlv outdoor bloom available
being snowballs, and many of these had
gone by. Plant trade was immense, par-
ticularly on geraniums. There was al-
so a large sale on metallic designs.

R. E. Nofftz is planning a trip to
Europe on Memorial day profits, and
expects to sail the first week in July.

W. G. Kraber will leave us the last
of June to start in a new field.

H. V. Sowle has opened a store in
the North End.

Robt. Greenlaw, of N. F. McCarthy
& Co., Boston, was a recent visitor.

KANSAS CITY.

Notes.

This city has just had a most disas-
trous flood, all our small towns close
around suffering alike. It rained here
for forty-eight hours steadily. The
water was fifteen feet over low water
mark. There were 15,000 people out of
homes, some of them being left with
just the clothes on their backs. Our
east and west bottoms were all under
water. That is where all our factories
and wholesale implement houses and
our old Union Station are. The water
was nine feet all around it. Our stock
yards were a sea of water. All our
bridges on the Kansas side were gone,
eight in all. Our city was out of city
water for forty-eight hours, and then
such water! You have to boil it and
strain it before you can use it.

The only florist who was flooded was
D. Freudenthal, on Union avenue, oppo-
site the Union Station. His place was
water to the ceiling and he is on the
ground iloor. Everything was a loss.

There was no flower business done.
Nobody in town wanted any flowers and
we could not ship any out. of town, as
there was water all around us. But
everything is coming around in good
shape now. Some of the florists did
a little business at the tail end of the

Visitors during the flood were Mrs.
Burns, of Leavenworth. Kans.. and

of Pleasant Hill. Mo. L. M. S.

The Market.

Decoration day business was good, al-
though I do not think it was any bet-
ter than that of last year. Flowers
were very plentiful, very cheap and of
good quality throughout. Shipping
business was better than last season. I
refer to the sending of flowers to the
interior of the state and also to Oregon,
Nevada, Utah and Arizona. We have
about a dozen florists in town who seem
to handle most of the out-of-town orders
and they had about all they could do.
The weather was all that could be de-
sired.

Roses are a glut at present, but the
quality, owing to the few weeks of warm
weather we have had, is nothing extra
and poor color and poorer stems are the
rule. Bridesmaids and Brides are of-
fered in large quantities at almost any
-price. Carnations are also nothing to
brag of. but a few good fancies are ex-
hibited in some of the windows. Sweet
peas are good and cheap; the price
averages 50 cents per dozen bunches,
wholesale. Other outdoor stuff has very
little value.

The Bride gladiolus was a good seller

and brought $1.50 per hundred spikes.

Calla lilies have been in some demand

and sold at $1 per hundred blooms.

Notes.

Thos. H. Stevenson reports a splendid
trade in his new store in the Palace
Hotel. Mr. Stevenson keeps a good sup-
ply of the best flowers on hand and his
business is steadily growing in the right
direction.

F. Ludcmann has taken his son, Fred,
Jr., into his office as a bookkeeper. This
position was occupied for several years
by his daughter, recently married.

Win. Kohler has assumed entire con-
trol of the greenhouses formerly owned
by Chas. Haselbacher, at Oakland, and
Jately managed by his widow.

A visit to the nurseries of Chas. Abra-
ham, on Greenwich street, shows every-
thing in good shape and plenty of pro-
pagating being attended to preparatory
to another season's business.

E. Grotting has taken charge of the
grounds of the Sacred Heart Convent on

The Weekly Florists' Review.

June 11, 1903.

PORTLAND, ORE.

We were recently honored with a visit
from the nation'.- chief executive, and
we gave him a genuine northwestern re-
ception. We gave him a regular (lie
gon baptismal, for it rained a hundred
and one times in as many minutes. We
fed him on Columbia River salmon and
Oregon strawberries, a diet, as the Presi-
dent expressed it. well adapted to those
leading a •■strenuous life." The veteran
Plunder decorated the President's car-
riage, and Martin <fc Forbes, who have
the Portland Hotel trade, did the deco-
ration for the banquet tendered by the
leading citizens. While in Portland the
President laid 1lie corner stone of the
monument dedicating the Lewis and
Clark Fair.

That the people of the northwest are
not lacking in patriotism was fully dem-
onstrated by the liberal way in which
flowers were used on Memorial day. In
our temperate climate there is usually
an abundance of good outdoor material
at this season, but this year most of the
early stock was gone or spoiled by the
heavy rains, thus giving the florists an
advantage. We had an immense call,
both for cut flowers and design work.
Roses and carnations were on in full
crop and prices advanced 25 per cent.
Some good peonies were to be had and
retailed at .$2 per dozen. The white
pond lily, grown only in limited quanti-
ties here, sold readily at $1.50 per dozen.
The first sweet peas made their appear-
ance on the 29th and commanded im-
mediate recognition. There was also a
good demand from the rural districts,
and, as a large percentage of our popula-
tion is from the middle west, flowers
were shipped to points as far distant as
Minnesota, Nebraska and Iowa.

Every one reports a general clearing
up of bedding plants. This branch of
the business shows a most satisfactory
increase every year. Clarke Bros, are
the leaders in this line, and a neat little
plant catalogue, issued annually and cir-
culated through Oregon, Washington and
Idaho, has proved so valuable an ad-
vertisement that it takes the capacity of
a big range of houses to supply the de-
mand.

We were pleased to have a call from
and to compare notes with Frank Mil-
lang, of New York City, who was re-
centlv touring the northwest.

MONTREAL.

Considering the busy season, the last
club meeting was well attended. The
executive committee's report was pre-
sented by W. Horobin, the secretary. It
was decided to go to St. Rose for the
annual picnic and make it "the best
ever." G. Vreugde, of Lachine, read an
essay on grafting and budding, illus-
trated by specimens. Upon request of
the club Mr. Gibb, of the Civic Garden,
consented to prepare a paper to be read
before the C. H. A. at the annual con-
vention. A. Wilshire was elected to the
executive committee.

Trade is keeping "so so," with an
oversupply of roses and carnations. Bed-
ding plants are moving fast, but coleus
ami tender stuff is scarce, owing to the
late frost. After two months of drought
it is useless to speak of outdoor flowers.
The young carnations are planted, but
in some places only after the fields had
been watered for days. Nothing grows.

C. Gorman is building a new house
for mums and P. McKenna & Son one
for miscellaneous plants.

W. Alcoek is convalescing after an op-
eration in the hospital.

ORANGE, N.J.

The monthly meeting of the New Jer-
sey Floricultural Society was held June
3. The display of flowers, fruits and
vegetables filled the entire center of
the room. Peter Duff's collection of
vegetables and an adiantum grown by
D. Kindsgrab received the maximum
number of points. The names of the
donors of the four silver cups were
made public for the first time and were
Sydney Colgate, John Crosby Brown, O.
D. Munn, J. Van Gasbeck and W. Jen-
kins, all of Orange. A paper read by
Andrew Grierson, gardener for Mrs.
Hicks Arnold, Port Chester, N. Y., on
the cultivation of outdoor roses was
listened to with marked attention.

On June 5 the rose contest for the
silver cup donated by Major Isaac
Schoenthal was held. Considerable care
had been given to the decoration of the
room, in addition to the roses which
filled the center. All the near-by pri-
vate estates were represented in one way
or another. The winner of the cup was
D. Kindsgrab, gardener for Wm. Run-
kle. J. B. D.

Valley.
Many of us will be growing ;i few
hundred valley during the summer
months, some from pips we have in our
own ice houses, and some getting them
weekly from the firms that keep them
in cold storage and send them on to the
retail growers. In the early summer
months they usually flower very satis-
factorily if treated atall right, ('hop off
but, a half inch 01 so of the ends of the
roots] give them a depth of sand in the
boxes or beds equal to the length of the
root; have the glass over them rather
beavilj shaded; but what is most par-
ticular of all is not to let any draughts
strike them, such as open doors may
cause. Give them water daily and on
very hot days twice. What may not be
known to all, yet which is of vital im-
portance, is not to wet the bells after
thej begin to color, or rather to whiten.
Water the san

that, the \ all.

but don't wet the How.

not !«■ cut until eVI -IV bell is white. Yet
it is always most desirable that the
- j . i k i ■ -. should be cut. twenty-four hours
before being sold or used and put into a
jar of cold water, because they do not
then wilt, as fresh cut flowers do. and

this applies to al st all the flowers we

use.

The use of some green foliage with
many flowers that do not supply linn
own is i e and more in use and is only

enhair fern is queen ami there i- no
king.

Smilax.

Before I speak of adiantums, etc., let
us be reminded that the good old smilax
has been in great demand and very
scarce this past winter and spring. A
few years it went slightly out of
fashion, sold cheap, and growers drop-
ped it, which accounts for its scarcity,
and when an article is hard to obtain
it is in fashion. It is so simple to grow
and the simplicity of its culture so well
known that 1 am merely going to say
now that a bed or bench the size of your
requirements should be on every retail
er's place. When you want fifty strings
you can buy them, but when you want
five strings in a hurry it is nice to have
them on the place. And I believe that a
house of smilax, well grown, is just as
profitable a-- a house full of carnations
or mam other things.

Smilax should be planted by the first
of duly, then by the next. .Inly you will
have cut lout crops. It should be re-
planted every year with strong. •'! inch
pot plants. It should have six to eight
inches of heavy loam, with a fourth Or

even e of animal manure. Whether

it is on the floor or on a low bench mat
ters little, except that you want head
loom, and it is more convenient to tie
when it is planted near the surface of

have mi degrees at night throughout the
winter, and lots of syringing to keep
down red spider. Always begin at one
end of the bed and cleat it off as you
need it. because then the plants arc at
.mcc deprived of all their growth as
they are when you cut a -mug. They
should not be watered until they have
started to make new growths or the
fleshj roots will rot.

Adiantums.

Adiantum cuneatum is the fern most
-cue] ally grown for cutting. A. de

coruni is preferred by s ■. ami now

Mr. Crowe, of Utiea. is sending out
his grand form of this fern. Wiethe]
it is a fine form of decorum of a (lis
tinct variety, either originating from a
spore or a sport, it is, as he grows it.
a splendid fern and its origin is of no
great importance. He has named it A.
(loucanum and well may he crow over
the success he has hail ami the immense
stock that he has to distribute.

only the latter is permanent.

Aphis seldom troubles the adiantum.
When it does tobacco dust will keep it
down, and its great enemy, the little
slugs, can be kept under by a profuse
dusting of slaked quick lime which do<-
them no harm. Get the dusted lime
well down on the crown of the plant, I.
there is where the slug makes his roost-
ing place, and being hungry about the
time the sun sets, he feeds on the tender
young fronds that, first catch his eye o'
touch. A warm atmosphere, sa\ 60 1 1

steel wire clasp to be used in place of
twine in fastening the stakes to the
win-, and which for neatness and ex-
pediency is far ahead of string, and
affords no shelter for spider or other
insect pests.

Beauties ran be supported by the same
kind of arrangement, with the addition
of overhead wires -even feet above the
bench, to which the longer stems can be
secured by tying.

This is of course a little more costly

than tl bier methods, but it has the

merit of being easily put up and taken
down and is practically indestructible at
the same time, giving the house a smart
and airy appearance, and however much
we may study the question of returns,
taste and neatness cost so little more
than what, is absolutely necessary that
the added pleasure more than compen-
sates for the extra trouble and cost.

CARNATION NOTES-EAST.

Condition of Field Stock.

The long continued drought in this
section has ;it last been broken, much to
the satisfaction of carnation growers.
Now that the ground is well soaked I
wish, at the risk of repetition, to again
impress upon your minds the import-
ance of breaking up the surface soil as
soon as conditions will permit. By this
means we can keep our plants growing
rapidly until housing time, even should
no further rains occur.

By the way. have you stopped to think
that, in a few weeks benching will com-
mence? From all appearances the great
majority of my plants will be plenty
targe enough to house by July 1. This
leads me to define ami give reasons re-
garding what 1 consider the size a plant
should be to lift.

Varieties differ very much in rapidity
of growth ami therefore one moist study
each variety grown as regards this dif-
ference, 'faking Mrs. P.radt and Nel-
son, we have two which differ widely in
this respect. It is practically impossi-
ble to get returns from Bradt unless
strong, heavy plants can lie had when
housing, while with Nelson much smaller
plants give the best results, and with
very few exceptions what is true of Nel-
son is true of nearly every variety of
commercial value.

I would define a plant of proper size
to house as one which is compact in
growth, having six to eigiit strong
shoots three to four inches in length,
the last topping having been so timed as
in allow these shoots to develop to the
length named.

I notice some growers still hold to
the idea that plants can be allowed to
bloom in the field and still furnish good
stock for winter, also that plants can
without injury be allowed to run into
bud, lifted and benched to furnish an
immediate crop.

No one can expect to produce first
class blooms in the field from plants
intended for winter use. A grade still
lower can be expected from plants lifted
with buds, and these allowed to flower.
In either case the resources of the plants
are taxed to a degree that will be most
manifest when blooms are most in de-
mand at good prices.

I may add that the height of the
plant is often misleading when size is
being considered, as the most desirable
feature is its stocky form; it is the

I'm in.- productive qualities tint should
be looked after.

There are several advantages in bench-
bag what, from my definition, some may
eall under sized plants. liny can be
planted in a more rapid and thorough
manner than large one-. In early hous-
ing the plant heeoinc- e-tahli-lied ipiickly
and in completing its growth in the new-
soil, the roots radiate in a more natural
manner, thus obtaining a tinner hold in
the soil, resulting in a more finished
plant, well able to stand the strain that
is to be put upon it. While it will be
seen that I advise benching small or
medium-sized plants, I also follow a
system of culture under glass as soon
as the ]. hints are established which I
will treat upon in due time.

An Inquiry.

This week a grower in this vicinity
asked my opinion on the following: His
plants were benched last. August; were
healthy and continued so until he was

obliged to let them freeze several weeks
before Christmas. Nothing ha- :»<n
since disturbed. Would the same soil
be suitable to use this season by tile
addition of more manure and hone?

Not having had any such case come
under my observation 1 could not at
once answer, but after some thought on
the matter I have advised against the
practice, owing to the fact/ that the
plants have been allowed to occupy the
same position up to the present, time.
Several other minor things lead me to
believe there would Ik- a risk too great
to run. compared to the expense of re-
filling witii fresh soil. As this matter
may "interest other growers who were
frozen up last winter. I will ask Mr.
Baur to give his views or relate experi-
ence he or others may have had.

PIPING WITH SOLID BEDS.

I am building solid beds for roses and
carnations. Should any of the steam or
hot water pipes be run under or through
the beds for the purpose of forcing the
plants in winter? I have read several

king tor such lieds.

B. W. S.

I certainly would no
inn any of your heat
or through your solid
find plenty of room for
the walls and along the
for the pipes. We put.

1 you to
-' under
You can

,he walks
-inch pi]

in each walk and the balance along the
outside walls, where most of them are
needed anyway. We heat with steam.
There is such a wide variance in the ar-
rangement of greenhouse establishments
that eaeh heating system needs to be
constructed to suit the one particular
place it is to heat. You may do well to
hang some of your pipes overhead, but
we prefer to have them mostly below.

No doubt many growers have tiie idea
that the reason most heating pipes are
placed under the benches is that they
should help to force the plants by keep-
ing the roots warm, etc., when really
the strongest reason is to get the pipes
out of the way. To the rose grower thej
are .i help in keeping his rose beds
from getting too wet during cloudy
weather, when he must needs do more or
less syringing to keep down red spider.
But to the carnation-grower I do not
consider them any help whatever, as he
does not need to syringe enough to get
the soil into a soggy condition, and
surely if you know the first principles
of growing you will not need a drying
plant to keep you from overwatering
your plain-.

One of the points argued in favor of
raised benches has Wen that they will
dry out. ofteiier and that there will be
less danger from overwatering and sour-
ing "t t lie soil. It has be, 11 pro* ell I'M'

and over that, if you will get. your soil
into -the proper state of moisture, and
keep it there, it will be far better tor
the plants than if you allow it to vary,
first dry then wet. Of course there are
nines when a plant wants more water
than it doe- at other time- and differ-
ent, kind- of plant- will vary greatly,
especially those that bloom in crops.
The carnation varies very little in that
respect. From the time it. has taken a
good hold on the -oil and started into
a vigorous growth it will at all times
enjoj a mi tair supply of water and
any attempt at working the crops by
withholding the water or giving an ex-
tra supply "ill only end in bursted
calyxes or sickened plant-. If the roots
will get no water except wdiat you in-
tend that, they should have, there ought
to be no danger of overwatering, and if
the -oil does not dry out fast enough to
need watering once in a week or two
weeks you should l>e glad that it saves
you time and water, but be sure to
water only when it is needed. As for
souring, there is no danger if you keep
the surface loo-e and work through it

The Market.

Beauties are fair for the .I'a-mi and in
adequate supply, but Brides and .Maids
of good quality are scarce, much of the
stock showing much mildew a- well as
being small and soft. There are large

supplies of Liberty of g 1 quality and

some of the growers are cutting fancy
Meteor. Chatenay, Kaiserin and La
Franc.- are also fair to good in quality.
Carnation cuts are on the decrease, but
there are still ample supplies. Prosper-
ity is fine and Genevieve Lord and Ethel
Crocker are showing their quality as
summer bloomers.

The peony crop is off and the stock
is coming oul of cold storage. Good
bunches of the better varieties are still
the best selling item on the list. There
are oceans of sweet peas, plenty of lilies,

Death of J. T. Anthony.
With the passing of J. T. Anthony
Horticulture loses another of her mastei
craftsmen. Bom near Providence, R. I.,
March 7. 184-!. Mr. Anthony spent his
life in the profession, wearing Confed-
erate lead these thirty years, for he laid
down his watering can and trowel to
shoulder a musket in the hour of his
country's need. He returned to the
pursuits of peace with health impaired
but with spirit unconquered. and was
for years one of the leading figures in
the trade. On coming west he spent
some time with M. E. Page and then
went into business for himself on Michi-
gan avenue, near Twenty-second street.
In 1885 he built a range of glass on
Prairie avenue, just north of Thirty-fifth
street, which was one of the most pre-
tentious establishments of the day. He
grew choice material, including a large
stork of orchids, and did a nice
business, but in the end met with finan-
cial reverses which saddened if they did
not embitter his later years. Mr. An-
thony was the first, president of the Chi-
cago' Florists' Club, organized in 188G,
and was always one of its wheel horses.
He was elected President of the S. A. F.
at the St. Louis convention in 1893. He
was a member of the Horticultural So-
, „tv of ( liiraiio. of the Grand Army of
the Republic and of the Masons. His
death occurred June 11, at Geneva, 111.,
where he had been in business for the
past few years and interment a
Oakwoods. Mi-. Anthony was left with-

out resources, but her immediate wants
were cared for by Mr. Anthony's old
friends, whose attention was called to her
plight by C. A. Samuelson.

blessing, for in the days when the sales

for about the price of single, while now
the demand is so big that the natural
production of small sizes does not nearly
suffice and the manufacturers refuse to

mium. Mr. Hayes says that the indica-
tions point to an immediate and very
large increase in the glass used for forc-

ST. LOUIS.

The Market.

At this writing conditions . are some-
what better in receiving express ship-
ments, which come by boat from Alton.
The early part of the week it was al-
most impossible to get any shipments by
cxpre-- from Chicago and other points.
This had a had effect on the retail trade.
which had a very busy week, with large
weddings and school work. At. the
wholesale houses many disappointed
faces could be seen each morning on ac-
count of not having the orders filled.
The few shipments from the west ami
from local consignors did not supply
half enough stock to go around. Some
of the shipments from Fort Wayne, Chi

d s

But

Trade the past week was very good.
Everybody was busy with some kind of
work in cut flowers, as weddings,
funerals and school commencements have
been quite frequent. For the latter
events there was not nearly so much to
do as in former years, as most of the
huge schools prohibited the sending of
flowers to the graduates. Those who
had orders for the large weddings found
it difficult to obtain choice white roses
and the number required ran up into
the thousands. At the funerals of Mr.
Lucas and Captain Evans, of the sal-
vage corps, a greai many large designs
were seen. These were mostly made up
of cape jasmines, galas and sweet peas.
indicating that other stock was hard to
obtain. For school work a large num-
ber of Perles were used, as yellow was
the class color at some of the largest.
schools. The cool weather of late has
made good flowers very scarce, and par-
ticularly roses. Shipping orders from

here was out of the question, as all
stock that came in was used at home.

Prices on stock were somewhat high
when one considers the quality of the
flowers, roses having been full of mil-
dew. Carnations are getting small, still
they bring a good price. $1.50 to $3 for
common stock, with fancy stock at $4
and $5. Sweet peas ale selling out clean
at 50 cents per 100. A few good asters
are in. which sell at $2 and $3 per 100.
Cape jasmine has a big call, owing to
the shortage of white stock; 50 and 75
cents per 100 was considered a big price
for them. These are handled mostly by
the commission men along Third street,
who have them consigned by the car
load. The street fakirs were handling
them largely tin- past week. ■»- thej
were about the only flowers they could
obtain, all other stock having brought
a higher price than they cared to pay.

Business from now on will be some-
what slow, as most of the social events
are past and the flower-loving people
are seeking the summer resorts to lie
gone until fall. Until then the florist
of our town will have to content him-
self with odds and ends from the few
stragglers who remain at home.

Florists' Club Meeting.
The June meeting of the Florists' Club
was very poorly attended but this time
it was owing to the big flood. Our
members from the east side, who are
regular attendants, could not get over.
When the meeting opened there were
ten members present. President Dun-
ford was in the chair. Secretary Schray
was absent, owing to very important
business at home, and J. J. Beneke acted
in his place. The trustees announced
that the picnic would lie held on Thurs-
day, July 23, at Preistor's Park, half
way between Belleville and St. Louis;
that a. band of music and games of all
kinds with prizes would be the features
of the outing, that invitations would be
mailed to all in time, and that a full
report would be made at the next regu-
lar meeting of the club. Chas. J. Juen-
gel, state vice-president of the S. A. F..
was appointed a committee of one on
transportation for the Milwaukee meet-
ing. Members who will attend this
meeting should send in their names to
Mr. Juengel as soon as possible. The
members were also requested to -end in
a report of their business to Mr. Juen-
gel, so that he can make up his yearly
report. This should be done not later
than the next meeting. Tne question
box, which is always one of the features
of our meetings, brought out a good
discussion on several questions. Will-
iam Winter, of Kirkwood, Mo., invited
the club to hold its next meeting at his
place, which invitation was accepted
with thanks. This meeting will take
place July '.). at 2 o'clock, at which the
nomination of officers will occur. . This,
with an essay by Fred ( . Weber, on
"Benefits Derived by Attending Con-
ventions," should make an interesting
meeting, and a big turnout is expected
bv President Dunford and by Mr. Win-

Notes.

J. G. Bennett, western representative
of the Commercial Cut Flower Box Co.,
of Binghamton. N. Y., was a caller on
the trade the past week.

Fred Ammann. of Edwardsville. has
been bringing in his cut each day him-
self, by way of Alton, at a great ex-
pense. Fred could not stay at home and
let the trade in St. Louis suffer for

want of stock, and his efforts helped out
a great deal.

Mrs. -M. M. Avers furnished lowers
for two of the largest weddings thai
took plaee last week, oi i which re-
quired as many a- 1,000 Bride roses.
Tie'-.' were hard to get, I. iii -lie was
equal to the task.

Fred Weber and George Waldbarf
were two very busy men tie- past week.
with flora] work of all kind-, and plenty
of it. but it required -..me hustling oil
their part t.. get the stock.

Hie Ellison Floral Co. had a busy
week of it. with school work, using near-
ly 2.000 Perle roses to fill its orders.
Quite a lot of dinner table decorating
is also reported by them.

Thco. Miller is around nowadays look-
ing very lonesome. His family are on
the high seas bound for Germany to
spend "the summer. Theo. will spend
part of the next few weeks getting him-
self in shape t.. earr\ oil' some of those
prizes at Milwaukee.

PHILADELPHIA.

The Market.

The conditions in the cut. flower mar-
ket have changed considerably, for fewer
flowers are now coming in, owing to the
change in the weather and the replant-
ing. White flowers are very much in de-
mand and quite scarce at times. Sweet
peas are coming in in enormous quanti-
ties, except on the rainy days. Leo Nies-
sen is receiving some fine iris and lark-
spur. Home grown gardenias are about
over, though a few are coming in from
out of town. Beauties are very much
in demand, but prices have not ad-
vanced. The indications point to this
being the closing week of the wedding
and commencement season, but a heavj
demand on Monday created an unex-
pected scarcity, especially for Beauties
and lilies.

Afternoon with Mr. Harris.

Were you to ask any one of our lead-
ing store keepers whether the growers,
as a class, were good business men. he
would probably smile and call your at-
tention to a handsome vase of sweet
sultan or giant daisy; but were you_ to
ask him whether he considered that Wm.
K. Harris' place was run on business
principles, he would answer most em-
phatically in the affirmative and tell
you that' there is no better business man
to be found among the growers. Mr.

The new type of Boston fern with
broad foliage,' beautifully crested, habit
compact, is very promising. It has not
been decided whether thi- type is suffi-
cienty distinct to merit a name. It is more
than probable that Nephrolepsis Har-
ri-ii will ere long be as famous as Lil-
ium Harrisii. Mr. Harris believes that
the only way to grow Bostons is in pots
from the cradle up, so to speak, and
that planting in the bench, except pos-
sibly for stock, is a mistake. Several
large houses will be filled with these
ferns. N. Piersoni is here on trial. Pan-
damis Veitehii and otaheite oranges com-
plete the list of varieties now occupying
the French plate glass hou-,-. Mr. Har-
ris is a believer in this glass for pro-
ducing finely colored foliage and flow-
ers. He also firmly believes in the au-
tomatic ventilators, which he thinks wor-
thy of general use. The other foliage
plants grown are rubbers, both single
-1 .hi and branching in great profusion,
arecas, kentias, Pandanus utilis, crotons
and a few others.

The chrysanthemums for cuttings have
just been' benched. Of these, Florence
Harris, which blooms about November
1, and Our Dear Friend, blooming at
Thanksgiving, are each given a full cen-
ter bench. Both are seedlings raised on
the place, large in size, color a canary
yellow. Mr. Harris considers Our Dear
Friend as one of the best varieties ob-
tained during the past ten years. He
ha- not disseminated the stock of either,
believing it better to keep these gems at
home. Grace, a light sport from Maud
Dean, is another variety of merit given
a place of honor. Ivory, pink and white
Mrs. Jones. Maud Dean and Major Bon-
affon are also here. Gardenias are plant-
ed out in the bench, grown in one of
the small houses and will be forced
again this season. The quantity of bulbs
forced will be increased next season.

Very large quantities of Easter plants
will be grown as in the past. Several
houses have just been reglazed. Outside
4.000 Hydrangea (Hak-a in 6 and 7-inch
pots, to' say nothing of a couple of thou-
sand smaller plants, make a fine dis-
play in the frame-. They are plunged
in 'hops and sand. Climbing Clothide
Soupert is planted out. also Ramblers.
Peonies have done very well this season,
the Flower Market averaging 6} cents
for the cut blooms.

was held. Tl fection of a 1 rd of

Ccuv.'C Murphy an, I Mi. Kun/leinan was
appointed \v.,ii full power to acl in the
matter of an outing.

An invitation was extended by I>. Ku-
coni, the well known Cincinnati bulb
man, to the Cincinnati Florists' Club to
hold its first summer meeting at his
residence in Covington, Ky. Mr. Rusconi
told of the many Italian dishes that he
would serve to those who would come, to
say nothing of a cellar full of lately im-
ported Italian wine-. Tie' society ac
cepted the invitation with many liianks
and the time was set for Thursday,
July 9.

B. G. Gilleti and Geo. Murphy were
appointed a committee to choose the of-
ficial S. A. F. convention route. They
will have full charge of the matter and
a letter addressed to either of them as
to rates, times of departure, sleep-
will be promptly attended to. All those
who go through this ,-ity on their way to
the convention are invited to join the
Cincinnati party.

The two S. A. F. medals to be award-
ed by the Cincinnati Florists' Society
for meritorious plant or flown of Amer-
ican origin were awarded as follow-:
The silver medal to George &. Allan for
plant of adiantum: a decided improve-
ment over cuneatnm; a much more vig-
orous grower: throwing frond- J4 in. br-

The Market.
The past week has been another stag-
gerer. Growers and -ale-men have been
fairly wallowing' in ro-cs and carnations
and seemingly what little trade there
u.i- has been for the little odd- and
ends that are inclined to be more scarce.

early and late sorts promise a better
yield. Future conditions may greatly
alter the prospects.

At Chicago the onion set crop has
been retarded by cool weather and lack
of rain. The present outlook is not as
good as it was some two weeks back.
The maggot is working and bare spots
show in many places where the seed
came up strong at first. At other onion
set sections reports are not favorable.
This, with the addition of the serious
loss to the set crop, occasioned by the
floods, is likely to cause a very short
crop of sets.

Philadelphia.— The long drought is
at an end. but has seriously affected the
1903 crop of seeds in this locality. Rad-
ishes, beets, turnips, rutabagas, spinach,
tomato and onion seeds will be less than
50 per cent of the expected yield. The
late rains will greatly benefit the onion
set situation, but it must, be remembered
that not more than 50 per cent of the
usual quantity of seed was sown for the
1903 crop. The large onion crop from
sets is also a failure and the market is
being supplied by importations from Ber-
muda and Egypt. The failure of the
large onion crop means no seed bulbs for
the planting of the 1904 crop. Much
of the early planting of sugar corn
has failed to germinate, presumably on
account of the dry weather, and the de-
mand for second and late planting has
been very heavy. The dry weather has
also greatly retarded the planting of
field corn and. as the season is now
well advanced, the demand for early ma-
turing varieties is unprecedented; both
white and yellow flint are completely
exhausted. Millets, cow peas, soja beans.
crimson clover and amber cane are in
heavy demnnd. the timothy and clover
crops for hay lwing an entire failure.
The mail trade for May and .Tune was
considerably below the average. The Ely
Seed Co. is seeking new quarters be-
cause of the expiration of their lease on
Market street.

Robert B. Armstrong, assistant sec-
retary of the treasury, issued the fol-
lowing order to officers of customs under

ture it is hereby directed that, commencing

Wood, Stubbs & Co., Louisville, Ky.,
write as follows:

"Up to about the first of June the
weather was exceedingly dry and all
crops, both in the garden and on the
farm, were looking very badly. Since
that time we have had a good deal of
rain and everything has improved won-
derfully. Onion sets now promise to be
a, fair crop and, while the acreage is not
as much as last year, we do not antici-
pate much shortage. Orchard .grass
has been helped out wonderfully and
now promises a pretty fair crop. Kale
seed is looking well, as is Seven Top
turnip for seed. The onion seed crop
will be a fair one. The acreage this
year is not as much as usual, but we
are not anticipating high prices. Blue
grass is reported to be somewhat, short-
er than last year. Red Top has suffered
more or less from the dry weather and
the price may be a little higher. Win-
ter turf oats promise to make a good
sized crop. There are thousands of
acres of these grown in this locality
and Louisville is now one of the prin-
cipal markets on these.

"The demand for all kinds of seeds has
kept up remarkably well all during the
spring. In May the demand for millet
and cow peas was somewhat slow, due
to the weather conditions: in fact, no
one could plow on account of the dry
weather. Since the first of June there
has been an unusual demand for these
two items and prices have gone up
considerably. Nearly all seed corn
stocks in this market are exhausted.
though there is a fair supply of most
other seeds."

Concord, N. H. — G. J. Benedict has
done much planting in neighboring towns
this season.

FORCING TOMATOES.

Bulletin No. 81 of the University of
Illinois Experiment Station, Urbana.
111., is devoted to forcing tomatoes and
contains much useful information on
the subject. The results of a series of
experiments are summarized as follows:

By checking the plants it is possible
to secure fruit in fifty days from bench-
ing. '

To secure fruit by Thanksgiving day
the seed must be sown by July 20th and
the plants benched not later than Oc-
tober 1st.

Pollen is not discharged during the
cloudy weather and advantage must be
taken of short periods of sunshine to
pollinate by hand. Since the product
is most valuable it will pay the grower
to pollinate by hand regularly between
December 1st and March 1st. The ad-
vantages are a larger number of fruits
set. and larger, more uniform fruits.

A careful selection of varieties for the
midwinter crop is requisite for the
greatest success. Those varieties devel-
oped under forcing house conditions
like Best of All and Lorillard give the
best results.

Eclipse gave the largest yields both
for the winter and spring crops of 1902.
It is not quite so early as Best of All,
but it produced the smoothest and most
solid fruits.

The yield of Yellow Prince was de-
cidedly inferior to that of the Com-
bination grown under similar condi-
tions.

Plants trained to single stems gave a
much greater yield per square foot of
bench titan those trained to three stems,
the yield of the former being one and
one-fifth pounds against four-fifths of
a. pound for the latter.

The average yield for the season.
1901-'02, including both the winter and
spring crop, was from two to nearly
two and one-half pounds per square foot
of bench, or from seven to almost nine
pounds per stem.

TEMPERATURE.

One very important point in success-
ful greenhouse work is temperature. In
my opinion many failures are due to
misuse of the all-important factor, heat.
How very rare it is in this section to
see a well grown cyclamen! In a walk
through the markets nothing but poor,
sickly specimens will be seen, due
mainly to being kept too warm. And
so it is with many other plants, primu-
las, cinerarias, etc. Cyclamen will de-
velop beautifully in from 50 to 55 de-
grees, but this depends a good deal
upon where the heating pipes are lo-
cated. If the steam pipes are close to
the bottom of the bench upon which the
plants stand, obviously the roots must
be in a considerably higher temperature
than 55 degrees. Mrs. Lawson carna-
tion develops finely here in a tempera-
ture of from 50* to 55 and grows nearly
as large as exhibition blooms.

On a visit the other day to a grower
near here I noticed a remarkable dis-
play of buds, but the blooms were small.
It struck me at once that the plants
were being forced, so I inquired as to
temperature. We aim at 50 to 55 de-
grees, was the answer. For the moment
I could not see where the cause of the
difference could come in, but it occurred
to me to look under the bench and
there were the rows of steam pipe9

within three or four inches of the bot-
tom of the same. Our heating pipes are
hot water and two feet below the bench.
In fact, the line Mrs. Lawson grow in
a solid bed. This "rower thought il
paid better to force, claiming to get
quantity. For my part. 1 like to see
them fullj developed. With such evi-
dence before us it seems to me that the
correct thing would be I" pui the ther-
mometer in the soil and read the tem-
perature from there. I am satisfied that
such a proceeding would show a won-
derful range of temperature in the dif-
ferent, "rowers' houses. T. H. \V.

ANTS IN RELATION TO PLANTS.

It is very commonly supposed that ants
are injurious to cultivated plants. This
belief appears to be due to the very gen-
eral occurrence of ants on fruit trees and,
other plants, rendering it almost impos-
sible to pluck a twig from some trees
without being inconvenienced by the ants.
It is true that ants are found in enor-
mous numbers on some plants, and that
they frequently make nests at the roots,
but it has never yet been definitely
proved that they do any direct damage
to the plants. The ants usually visit the
tree or plant for a particular purpose,
some instances of which will be cited.

Ants have frequently been recorded as
being closely associated with insects
known as ' ' green fly, ' ' or aphis
(aphides), visiting them to obtain their
sweet secretion, commonly known as
"honey dew." Cases are on record
where the ants undoubtedly cared for
the green fly, and made use of them in
a manner comparable to man's treat-
ment of such domestic animals as the
cow.

Other insects, and notably the scale in-
sects and mealy bugs, also excrete a
sweet liquid which ants appear to like.
Some species of these pests have a char-
acteristic mealy covering, to which they
owe their popular names. This covering
the ants carry away, often completely
stripping the insects.

Plants infested with scale insects or
mealy bugs frequently swarm with ants,
which may be observed continually going
from one insect to another in search of
food. Sometimes the ants erect shel-
ters over the scale insects, and sheltered
in this way from enemies the mealy
bugs live in safety, repaying the ants
for their care by supplies of honey dew.
This mutual arrangement between the
ants and the mealy bugs may lead indi-
rectly to injury to the plant. Ants also
make galleries up the stems of plants,
under cover of which they ascend and
in which scale insects may sometimes be
found.

In all these cases the ants themselves
do not appear to harm the plants. Any
injury is, in all likelihood, due to the
scale insects, and the ants must be ac-
quitted of direct damage. It must be
noted, however, that indirectly harm may
at times result from their fostering care
of the really injurious creatures — the
scale insects and mealy bugs. Similarly,
when ants infest the roots of plants, they
are, in the majority of cases, to be found
in association with scale insects. There
is some reason to believe that, as men-
tioned above, ants may protect the scale
insects from enemies, and may perhaps
even carry the eggs or young insects to
suitable places on the plants, and thus
aid in distributing the scale insects. In

cases, however, where ants have been
prevented from visiting a plant infested
with scale insects, there is no evidence
to hand showing a consequent diminu-
tion in the numbers of the scale insects,
and no g 1 results have as yet been ob-
tained by destroying the ants in prefer-
ence to the scale insects. On the other
hand, many cases of ants infesting
plants are due solely to the presence of
the scale insects or mealy bugs. The dam-
age d.me by the latter is attributed to
the former, but is easily remedied by
destroying the scale insects or mealy
hugs, and leaving the ants unmolested.

Many plants have what are known as
extra-floral nectaries, which are nectar-
excreting glands situated on other parts
of the plant than the flowers. The cas-
tor-oil plant is an example of this kind.

bodies, with a crater-like depression at
the top, usually moist with the excreted
sugar) Bolution. These nectaries are
visited abundantly by ants, which drink
the sweet liquid. A plant which attracts
a targe number of ants to itself may find
them of direct value, for they often ap-

pear to do g I service in warding off

caterpillars and other unwelcome visit-
ors. It must not be supposed that it is
necessarily a special, or, as some might
urge, an intelligent adaptation on the
part of the plant to entice the ants to
itself. The nectaries play their own part
in the life-history of the plant, and the
ants merely take an advantage of them,
with sometimes beneficial results to the
plant.

On the whole, then, it would appear
that the ants so commonly to be found
on plants should not be looked upon in
the first instance, at all events, as actual
pests. They often indicate that a real
pest, such as green fly, scale insects, or

mealy bug, is present. At times they
may increase to some degree the dam-
age done by this pest. On the other hand,
I hey may be visiting the plant on ac-
count of other inducements, and their
presence maj even be of direct service
in warding off the attacks of harmful

neat Ilies.

For the destruction of ants, the fumes
of burning sulphur driven into the nests,
iir a small quantity of cotton wool soaked
with bisulphide of earbon appear to be
convenient and effective remedies.

MOLES AND MICE.

T am moved to reply to the not

headed "Mole- and Slice" in the last it

-ue of the Review, although to attema

up" by W. s. i- perhaps presumptuous,
particularly on the part of one of the
sex for the professional or business abil-
ities of which I ften betrays a whole-

- e i - i contempt.

I have never had an\ experience with
the ground mire mentioned, but have had
altogether too much with the moles.
Having a large yard which we are very
proud of. we were in de-pair for a cou-
ple of year- when the moles so under-
mined it that it was almost impossible
to mow it with a lawn mower. Some-
where we saw ricinus seed suggested as
a remedy for the torments, lake the
butter on the sick baby's elbow, we
thought it "eouhl do no harm" and tried
it. Since then, some three or four vears,
we an- careful to keep a half pound or
-o of the castor oil bean- on hand and
whenever one of the unsightly mounds
appears wo simply plant some of the
beans by thrusting them down into the
runway at several points, and in a
-hurt time the loosened earth settles
back and we know- the unwelcome in-
vader has dug hi- own grave. Not in-
frequently we find the carcass above

I know nothing of what effect the ri-
cinus would have on the mice but it

around handy for them. Hoping to es-
cape being withered by W. S. for an "old
maid'- notion." I am respectfully,

this summer. Qualities in roses ami car-

Last week was graduation week at
the high school and on account of the
class having chosen the daisy as their
flower there was a great demand for any-
thing that looked like a daisy. One
party sold 10.000 daisies and another
firm sold 6,000 coreopsis.

There have been many weddings that
required decorations of average quality,
but the decorations that Wiegand put
up for the Russell-Lilly wedding was
one of the finest things that the writer
has ever had the pleasure to see. In
the church they used their large speci-
men palms to excellent advantage and
these, with large quantities of cut i,.-,-.
made a great show.

At the house they used a lot of fancy-
leaved ealadiums and when the lights
were turned on these mad.- a lirh ma —
of color that was simply grand. There
ought to be a great future for these
fancy-leaved ealadiums for high-class
decorating. Only roses were used in t la-
way of cut flowers, but there were thou-
sands of these and the way they were
arranged showed a high degree of artis-
tic skill.

ington street, was struck by lightning

The Weekly Florists' Review.

BALTIMORE.

Hail.

We have had a week of phenomenally
cool weather, and on one day a hail
storm of unusual violence. Fortunately
the latter was limited in its extent and
we hear of no great damage done. C.
Hess, Edw. Kress and Win. Christie losi
some glass, the first named being pro-
tected by insurance, and a great many
sweet peas were destroyed, with some
other outdoor stock.

The Market.

Trade the past, week was not over-
active in the fore part, considerable
more stock accumulating than the de-
mand required, but toward the end calls
were more pressing and most of the ma-
terial in sight was worked oil' at figures
which are on the declining grade. I'liJs
week will about conclude the commence-
ment; season, and from now on for some
month's to come a very much less volume
of business may naturally be expected.
A good many houses are being emptied
and planting out is in order. Doubtless
the demand and supply will quickly ad-
just themselves to the situation. Some
fine white Cochet roses grown under
glass are now in evidence, but. the char-
acter of almost, all other stock is declin-
ing.

Death of W. H. Perat.
It will not. be out of place to record
here the death of one who. though not a
gardener or florist in the general ac-
ceptance of these terms, ye1 was both in
reality— Win. H. Perat. This gentleman
was for many years president of the
Maryland Horticultural Society, and by
his intelligent, interest in the cultivation
of plants and the production of llowers
probably did more than any other sin-
gle citizen to develop a taste for this
branch of gardening. He was a mer-
chant, doing a large business, and with
a great fondness for horticultural pur-
suits, which he followed with a knowl-
edge at once practical and unusual. He
was not content, as other men of wealth
generally are, to erect a range of glass,
employ a gardener and enjoy the prod-
ucts. On his beautiful estate, which
was a model of neatness, and on which
could be found the best kept lawn- and
the rarest and finest specimens of all
kinds of ornamental trees, he built mod-
ern houses in which was one of the
earliest and most complete collections of
plants ever gathered in this locality. He
was acquainted with all of them, knew
the treatment they required, and was
able with his own hands to attend to the
details of their cultivation, which lie
took great pleasure in doing. His col-
lection of orchids was one of the most
valuable ever gathered in Maryland. Mr.
Perat's fondness for gardening was con
tagious and influenced many of his
friends to follow his example. He was
a man of the highest character, of unim-
peachable mercantile honor and greath
respected in the community. B.

MISCELLANEOUS
SEASONABLE HINTS.

Too Much Rain.
Many parts of the country that experi-
enced a severe drought, have, for the past
two weeks, had almost too much rain
and a low temperature. Look out for
plants like azaleas, acacias, etc.. which
are plunged in frames in pots. See that
they do not stand in an inch of water,
nor yet let the pots fill up with water,
because it does not pass off. These con-
ditions would be most harmful to any
so-called hard-wooded plants, and if ag-
gravated would be death.

With land that is not actually flooded,
the excessive rains do no harm, except
that it is hard to keep weeds down. Last
year we read of many large growers, not-
ably around the big city of Chicago, hav-
ing great difficulty hi preparing their
rose and carnation compost in June and
July, and we in a small way are experi-
encing some of these troubles just now.
Soil handled when wet or in a sticky
state is in very poor condition for good
root action, and no treatment that can
be given it after it is once in the house
can restore it to its proper natural con-
dition.

The Compost Shed.
This leads me to believe that in all es-
tablishments, large and small, a soil shed
is a most essential feature of a grower's
plant. It need not be boarded up on the
sides; in fact, it is all the better nut to
be so. I use a good, sharp pitch to the
roof and Irtive it high enough for a wagon
to pass under it, and wide enough so
that rain storms cannot drive through
ii. The floor of the shed should, of
>e a few inches higher than the
surrounding ground. Here men can work
i In pping and mixing the compost in any
(feather. There is always plenty of fine
weather in fall or spring to haul your
-nil to the shed and plenty of opportun-
ity to cart it to the houses, but when en-
tirely unprotected there are often serious
and annoying delays. Such a shed for
piling Up a thousand loads of sod I re-
member seeing at the Dale Estate, in On-
tario.

Sod for Roses.
It is a little out of season to go into
the question as to whether sod is better
ploughed and piled up in the fall or in
the early spring. You will notice in very
large establishments that soma of the
rose beds show little evidence of the
sod, it being pretty well rotted, and in
other beds the grass from the sod is
growing lively, or trying to, having re-
cently been ploughed and carted into the
beds. And in results there has been lit-
tle difference except that the fresh sod
has given you much labor to keep down
the grass. I will venture my humble
opinion that sod procured in very early
spring is better for roses than that
stacked up six months earlier, for in the
decomposition of the fibre and roots there
is a chemical change going on that is
beneficial to the roots of the roses and
many other plants. If this is not the
case, then all the benefit there is in sod
is purely mechanical. It is raining hard

■)gain as I write, so I repeat, whetl
if for sod, well rotted compost,
01 leaf mold, let us have a roof over it
so we can work.

Asparagus.
Last week I meant to say a little more
about plants that furnish us with green
sprays, which are almost as necessary
nowadays as the roses and carnations.
Next in importance to the graceful ferns
are the several species of asparagus. Grow-
ing A. plumosus is rather confined to the
specialists who have 'ofty houses, giving
it more height to grow than many of our
houses afford. Still, when you have from
nine to ten feet from the surface of the
bed to the glass, it is profitable enough,
llcth A. plumosus and A. Sprengeri are
simple plants to grow if their principal
eqr.irement, root room, is remembered.
Hut to return to the beautiful plumosus.
for it is the most graceful of them, if
strings are desired, it should have six or
eiyht inches of soil on the surfa.'e of the
house, with no boards, tile, or stone be-
tween it and mother earth. If the natu-
ral soil of the house is dug and heavily
manured a foot below the surface, you
will have a still stronger growth. But
whether you raise the bed a foot above
the surface or prepare the soil of the

good growth it ceases to send out its use-
ful and profitable sprays. If given a bed
with 18 inches of rich soil (I should pre-
fer it raised above the surface < f the
house) and planted in July, you can cut.
grand sprays continuously for the next
twelve months. I have more than once
alluded to a rose grower in central New-
York who has a connecting range of rose
houses with no partitions, and beneath
the gutters he has a lot of imported glass
boxes. You know, perhaps, that Euro-
pean glass comes 100 feet to a box. So
these boxes, which held 10x24 glass, are
two feet long, sixteen inches deep, and
nine or ten inches wide. These are filled
with rich, heavy soil and three plants of
A. Sprengeri are planted in each. The
roots can go down sixteen inches and
won*t get exhausted in a few months.
It is a great success and goes a long way
toward paying the fuel bill. It is en-
tirely an extra crop, without in the
slightest detracting from the welfare of
the roses. You mav not have such a
place at your disposal, but you are sure
to have some ends and corners that can
be utilized. A heavy loam with at least
a fourth of manure and lots of room for
the roots grows Sprengeri profitably.
And plumosus, when wanted for sprays,
should do in the place.

William Scott.

CHRYSANTHEMUMS.

Planting.

i umting on the benches will very prob-
ably be delayed this year, in many sec-
tions, because of the weather, but if any
way possible get your plants set out uiis

house, have nothing to prevent its roots
going down to China. Anywhere between
55 to 60 degrees at night will grow both
plumosus and Sprengeri profitably, but
don't give it less than that. Plumosus is
no more useful as a long string or vine
than it is in sprays for use with bunches
of roses and carnations, and for this pur-
pose it is grown on raised benches, but
does much better if it is in a solid bed or
bench.

And this brings to us the useful A.
Sprengeri. You see handsome hanging
baskets of this and vou see it grown in
pots and shallow benches, but after one

bound. The drought this spring kept
back much work that ordinarily is out
of the way by June, and now for a
week or so the soil, owing to excessive
rains, has been too wet to handle, at
least in the eastern section of the coun-
try. While chrysanthemums will be
planted for six weeks yet. the early and
midseason varieties are better set out in
June, if you are figuring on growing the
top grade of flowers. This is, of course,
assuming you have from three to six feet
of head room. If the house is low the
onlv thing you can do is to plant later,
which is far easier than pulling and

There i- no heed t<i say much about

i venly around the plant- and watej will
not be needed again at the roots until
after the plants are on the move. Do not
water so much at first that the soil gets
green and sour, but use a little com-
mon sense.

The soil should be stirred up once a
week to keep the weeds killed down and
the soil from getting baked and crusted.
This is really an important item and yet
is often neglected. The doors and venti-
lators should be left open wide as soon as
the house i,i planted, and left so night
and day except during a storm. If one
has side ventilation in addition to the
top it will be found of great advan-
tage to keep the house cooler.

If there is any shade left on i
that has been put there fur the benefit
of any previous crop, wash it off. The
chrysanthemum does not need an\ -bade
and, though the house will gel vers hoi
on bright days, a good syringing a' time

lower the temperature and benefit the
plants. Don't forget that it i- very im-

A DOUBLE CALLA.

A. E. Crooks, of Benton Harbor, Mich.,

sends us a photograph of a 'alia which

flowered on his place with a well formed

double spathe. Prof. Bailey says that

t be-e sports oftei in , even with a

triple spathe. and illustrates a double
one in his cyclopedia, but seldom are
thej a- well formed a- this. Mr. Crooks
has rebuilt his place and has everything
in nice shape. He reports business good.

Seasonable Hints.
During the growing season and until
the young roots begin to approach the
surface, cultivating should be closely at-
tended to. When the soil is light and
friable this can be performed with the
hand, but with soil of a stiff, clayey
nature a small hand hoe or cultivator is
necessary. In using any kind of an in-
strument due care will have to be exer-
cised so as not to go too near the neck
of the plant nor deep enough to in any

way interfere with the roots, one inch
deep being all that is required if culti-
vating is practiced as it should be, once
a week.

During hot, dry weather, when young
slock has to be watered frequently ami
in larger quantities, the soil will require
more frequent -tirrim_r to break up the
surface and so prevent too rapid evap-
oration. In il.ney -nils, which are de-
ficient in fibre, this crust forms with
almost every watering during warm
weather, and should be broken up a- soon
thereafter as possible.

When the feeding roots begin to ap-
pear near the surface it is time to -top
stirring the soil and apply a Iig"hi mulch.
A little study and care in tie piepara-
tion of our mulching material would save
a great deal of hard and unnecessary
work at the time we want, to use it. By
having it in proper condition we may
expect better results than if we are
forced to use the crude and raw material
in its hastily prepared state.

There is, also, little doubt bin thai

carelessness practiced in collecting and
preparing our mulching material is a
fruitful source in supplying the colonies
of insect pests, such as eel worms, thrips
and grubs, which make neglected soil
and manure piles their favorite breeding
spots.

The materials for a mulch compost
should be collected during the summer
and piled up in nearly the same manner
as with rose soil, the proportions being
two of manure to one of soil, with a
generous sprinkling of air-slaked lime
to sweeten it. This should be chopped
up a little finer than rose soil for plant-
ing, and should be turned over every
three or four weeks during the summer,
choosing bright, sunny days for the work,
and never allowing a crop of weeds tn
take possession.

To have it in good condition for using
during the winter months, it should be
put under cover so that it may escape
the drenching fall rains which greatly
impoverish it. The bone meal to be used
should be added just previous to apply-
ing.

For a first application the mulch
should be passed through a |-inch screen.
This makes it fine enough to entirely
cover the surface without having to put
it on too thick, half an inch being deep
enough. It is also more easilv a-simi
lated in this state than if applied in
chunks.

This should be repeated at interval -
of six weeks, or as the material becomes
exhausted, which will happen -miner in
Beauty and Meteor houses than among
Bride and Bridesmaid. Ribks.

A Slight Review.

perience of the past winter. It will be

I think no reflection should be east upon
the growers, a deduction which stands
out more boldly when it is considered
that the best qualities of many varieties
have been brought out by growers who
have studied their rcouirements, the orig-
inator supplying cuttings only.

It i- but lately that the custom has

troductions with cultural directions, hence
the failure of some varieties to create
a favorable impression the first year,
but it is a pleasure to note that at pres-
ent almost, every variety is accompanied
by printed matter giving the method of
growing employed by the originator, or,
thank- to the trade papers, the subject
has been taken up there.

To the Smaller Growers.

There are those who grow a general
stock in connection with carnations and
of necessity are limited to some degree
as regards heat, light, ventilation and lo-
cation of benches, and as these notes are
for the benclit of all, I will give a few
points coming under my observation
which may be of interest to such grow-
ers:

Tin- location of a bench has much to
d.i with the success of a variety. It may
be a side bench having no ventilator or a
bench alongside a partition, which in-
terfere- with both light and ventilation.

It other plants are to be grown in the
same house, your knowledge will tell you
what is best suited to the carnation tem-
perature, or choose a variety of carna-
tion best suited to the temperature re-
quired for tlie oilier crop.

If bedding plants arc- grown for spring
sales, contrive to plant those varieties
of carnations least in demand during
April and May and let them be early
bloomers.

These matters should have careful con-
sideration before planting time. Plan to
place those varieties you intend to cut
from during the summer where they can
be well ventilated and gotten at on
both sides. Carnations can be grown at
a profit with other plants, but Mr. Scott
takes good (lire to supply you with the
list. Geo. S. "

CARNATION NOTES-WEST.

In last week's issue Mr. Osborn asks
my opinion regarding the use of the soil
that had carnations planted on it last
year up to Christmas, at which time they
were frozen up. I am inclined to think,
judging from the information at hand,
that Mr. Osbom's advice was correct. Un-
der certain conditions I would not hesi-
tate to use the soil again this year, but
if it was allowed to remain just as it was
when Jack Frost took possession, plants
and all, it certainly would not be advis-

able to

it again. If the plants had

been taken out and the soil loosened up
soon after they were frozen, I would not
hesitate to plant carnations right into
the same soil again after having mixed
in some more old manure and bone. There
is too much danger of stem-rot, though,
as it is.

Preparations for Replanting.

Most of the school commencements are
over and the June weddings, too, and
you will need but few carnation-, except
pink and white. You will be able to
throw out everything except a bench or
two that may' still be yielding fairly
well and the sooner vou begin the job the
better you will get through it. You will
not need to begin planting any earlier on
account of it, but think how nice it will
be next month if you can begin planting
and keep right at it until it is done and
perhaps plant the last ones when many
of the late beginners are just commenc-
ing to plant.

There is no danger of planting too
early as long as you have fair-sized
plants, and, in fact, there is everything
to be gained. Every year we plant a lit-
tle earlier and we have never had cause
to regret it. By fair-sized plants I do not
mean what you would call a fair-sized
plant in August or September, but rath-
er, as Mr. Osborn describes, six or eight
strong young shoots. That means about
after the third stopping. If you propa-
gated last December you will have such
plants in plenty by July 10 to 15 and

Wreath of American Beauties made by Geo. Wittbold Co., Chicago.

such a plant benched at that date will
give better results than a plant double
the size benched late in August. We will
have more on this subject a little later,
at planting time.

Now we want to consider the refilling
of the benches, or beds, as the case may
be. If you are able to completely etnpt\
the house of all plants it will pay you to
fumigate it with sulphur in order to kill
all insects that nia\ be in the corners
and odd place-. If you plant on benches
vou should apph a heavj coat of hot
lime wash before' filling in the soil. Of
cour-e you will see that there are no
weak boards to break through next win-
ter, when there i- a tine crop of buds
on: that i- when thej always give way.

After allowing the lime wash to dry.
put on the bottom about an inch of
manure, which should be well along in
process of decaying. We prefer cow- ma-
nure, and as we can get plenty of that
kind we use very little other. If you
have good (Stable' manure it will answer
the purpose, perhaps, ju-l as well. On
top of this fill in your soil about four
inches deep. We proceed in the same
manner with our solid beds, except that
we do not whitewash at the bottom, but

BACKGROUNDS AND ACCESSORIES.

A rummage in the well-stocked work-
room of a floral decorator would be en-
joyed by any artist, for there he ought
to see the choicest flower receptacles
produced. A -mall armj of baskets of
varied character- — tall, low. slender,
ji.i. i ml. round, .-quale, coarse, delicate,
-real and small— should forever dispel a
-n-fi. em that the.se useful and orna-
mental articles may go out of style.
There might lie some improvement in
coloring of basket materials over what
we now have. As it is. the mixed pat-
terns, green-, browns and yellows, an
easily procured; but why do not the
manufacturers give us more of the rich
solid colorings mi the body of the bas-
ket': Crimson-, heliotropes, delf blue and
ultra marine ought t" be favorably re-
ceived.

With some such assortments it is not
so difficult I" ■'.liv-- up'' for -peeial oe-
casions, but even then there is more or
less begging and borrowing to do. For
a patriotic occasion "i a convention in
town, it is both complimentary to the
guests and profitable to tic dealer to
devise a window decoration for the oeca-
— i . .ii. It l- seldom advisable to work out
emblems to the smallest details: but se-
lei i some part or part- that arc graceful
and suggestive enough not 1" need a

and on the eross-beam of the frame set
.i generous bunch of white jx-as and
Sprengeri, training the long sprays
through the spokes and away up in
among the flax on the distaff. Banked
up behind and around was the usual
stock of palms and ferns for out-of-town
trade. The members of the convention
in their carriage ride through the city
changed their route to pa-- our window,

an. I ,il-.. deposited some pin money with
us before they left. The public i- not
always thi- cold-hearted, unappreciative
person for which it gets credit.

A tent, among the palms and jasmines
w.i- used effectively for some G. A. U.
celebration. Another excellent opportu-
nity for a good display was the meeting
of the National Grain Dealers' Associa-
tion. A shock of corn formed a back-
ground in the window. In the far cor-
ner was a shock of "at- just a- it -t....il
in the field. But hidden in the heal t
was a prosj paper vase tilled with Amer-
ican Beauties, which peeped out here
and there through the hanging grain.
The floor of the window was covered
with autumn leave-, and over these and
between the -hock- of grain were the
plants and flowers offered for sale. The
grain dealers bought. This same design
would be suitable for a Harvest Home
or Thanksgiving occasion.

If no such opportunities are offered
fin complimentary displays, current
events, heal and world-wide, could be
presented. Read like a caricaturist and
there will lie more material at hand than
can be used. Or the seasons could be
represented. Here is a scheme for win-
ter: Have some fancy evergreens and
display them with their natural settings.
— cones and pine needles. Then for a
vase gather up some patches of mosses
that grow around the hydrants and un-
der the benches, and have a few lyeopo-
(liiim ferneries tilled for sale. Fin-
i-h with lycopodium draperies.

For a summer scene have a min-
iature lake with pond lilies, and a
birch bark canoe tilled with small flow-
er- hauled up on the beach, or a few
flshing-rods with a china hanger in

tractive, ii" matter what, their fine points
are. Another requisite is frequent and
eiiinpleie changing. A window full of
one kind of plants is a good aid to sales
with an advertised announcement.
Speaking of advertising, it pays better
to cut out program., club directory, year
book and all such hold-up advertise-
ments, and invest the same amount of
money in a good window and liberal
-pa..- in the best newspapers. Keep in
mind that one element of the artistic is
the striking, which in its best sense is
by no means unnatural or vulgar.

Several grades uf. heavy wire are a
great help for large bunches of flowers,
extra basket handles, etc. A bronzing
outfit with silver, green, gold and cop-
per paints is very convenient. Wire
frame-, plant stands and brackets need
freshening once in a while. The ready-
mixed bronze paints are not as satisfac-
tory nor economical as what can be
mixed with the dry paint and liquid in
bulk.

A large mounted mirror is a most
useful adjunct, as well as a few table
millers. Their rent in decorations will
alter a while pay for their cost. They
will la-t I'm' years with careful handling
and protection from direct sun rays.

The ability to draw free hand is more
than helpful. In planning a decoration
with a customer, illustrate if possible.
The average imagination is not stretch-
able beyond the visual angle. "What it
will look like" in black and white may
gain the job. A few photos of your best
work will demonstrate your abilities.

JOHN F. WILCOX.

We have pleasure in presenting here-
with a portrait of Mr. John F. Wilcox,
Council Bluffs, la., who has a host of
friends in the trade and whose immense
range of glass is undoubtedly the largest
in the country west of Chicago.

Mr. Wilcox was born Feb. 3. 1SG4, on
a farm in Wisconsin, and his parents
were not blessed with a large amount of
worldly goods. At the age of 9 years
he started to work for other people on
the farm and continued until he was 13.
His parents were then living in Darling-
ton, a small Wisconsin town, and as they
were still in poor circumstances, lie went
home and for three years helped to sup-
port them by grubbing out trees and
chopping them into cord wood and saw-
ing wood around town. He has related
that he walked five miles night and
morning to get to his work and many
times ate a frozen dinner.

At the age of 10 he went to Iowa and
entered the emplov of L. A. Casper,
Council Bluffs, at $15.00 per month. Mr.
Casper was then in the vegetable grow-
ing business, but he later on started
growing cut flowers. Mr. Wilcox was
here but a short time before he was made
foreman and continued in this position
about seven years. He married in 1885.
He and Mr. Casper finally bought a small
tract of land ju-t outside the city ami
they became equal partners in the vege-
table business. Mr. Casper devoting the
major part of his time to the florist busi-
ness. Later Mr. Wilcox bought Mr. Ca-
per's interest and became sole proprietor.

To accomplish this Mr. Wilcox worked
almost clay and night, personally super-
vising everything and getting up at one.
two and three o'clock in the mSrning
in all kinds of weather and many times
not getting to bed again until 11 p. m.
He succeeded in paying for the place and
a few years later bought Mr. Casper's
flower and plant growing establishment.

He now employs from 65 to 125 people
and has the largest expanse of glass wesf
of Chicago. He has built a handsome
modern residence and is beginning to
enjov the fruits of his rather strenuous
life.*

He and his charming wife have been
frequent attendants at the conventions
of the S. A. F.. and have quickly made
warm friends of all who met them.

POT CULTURE OF MIGNONETTE.
To grow this plant in pots with suc-
cess requires much more care and study
than if it is planted in the bench, as
along with its cramped root quarters il
has the same insect enemies and dis
eases to contend with. The roots are

sunshine, it i^ ran- to .it a really well
grown specimen in a commercial place in
this country. A few florists in private
places produce some handsome specimens,
but as a rule these florists are of the
imported variety.

Among commercial growers in Europe,
and especially in England, this is one of
the best selling and most remunerative
of winter blooming plants, and is grown
in large quantities Xo doubt it will

adaptability to window culture, there

are few of our greenhouse, plants that
can compare with it and in its class it
has no rival.

I will endeavor to give a resume of
the most successful method of treating
this annual as a pot plant, which if
followed closely will give good results.

The first and most important part is
in the selection of suitable seed from a
recognized good strain, as all the qare
that can be bestowed on an inferior strain
i- simply thrown away. Every grower
who makes the culture of these plants
equally important and is prepared to
l: i \ •• them as much of his attention and

>kill as he does his cycla ns and

primroses, usually has his own favorite
strain, which he tries to improve year
after year by carefully selecting and
gathering the seed from those plants
which have a good habit of growth and
are free bloomers.

The capsules on the lower half of the
Bower -pike usually contain the most
perfect and best ripened seed. These
should be gathered before they are per-
fectly ripe, as they shed the seed very
easily, and put into a paper box with-
iiul am covering and stored in a place
when- there i- langer of dampness.

For plants in bloom dining the winter

''"' " I should Im- sown early in July.

Well drained 2-ineh standard pots are
large enough to sow the seed in. as to be
successful with this plant the root- of
the seedlings should never be disturbed
in the slightest.

The soil most suited for seedlings is
composed of two parts fibry loam and
one pan. decomposed leaf mold, with an
addition of clean sand in the proportion
of one-eighth of the entire bulk. This
compost should be made fine bv passing-
it. through a half-inch screen. 'The pots
should then be filled flush and packed
firm. Make a slight depression in the
■ enter of each pot and place in each five

or six g 1 -i/ed seeds, and cover to the

depth of about, four ti s the size of the

seeds.

To keep the pots from drying out too

one in each

using t le-
an addition
inely sifted,

During all the "rowing period it i<
lie-t to keep these plants away from the
direct rays of the mid-day sun, as this
has a tendency to ripen the foliage and
stem, which will -inch ruin them. When
the plant- hav.- acquired eight or ten
leaves it is time to begin training. This

is done bv merely nipping out the tip
of the growth: pinching off three or
nunc eves will cause a stuntedness from
which thev rarelv recover. Care should
Ik- taken that they never approach being
pot bound, as this will cause premature
and imperfect, blooms.

During the first week of Septcnbet
thev should be moved inside, as it they
are' allowed to remain outside till frost
compels their removal and are then sub-
jected to artificial heat, they are liable
to drop their foliage. A house with a
temperature of 55 degrees is just the
temperature suited.

To have some of these specimens in
bloom in November the stopping will
have to 1* discontinued before October,
but the best specimens are those which
have been trained up to the middle of
November. If properly trained and
cared for these plants will continue to
bloom until hot weather commences

nations and "cyps." Palms have grown
and grown with him until today he has
even more palms than roses on his im-
mense place. These palms are almost
entirely made up of three varieties. Areea
lutescens, Kentia Forsteriana and K.
Belmoreana. The demand for specimen
plants of large size has cleaned up pretty
much everything over S-inch. In 8-ineh
pots there' are a tine lot of arecas, nice
bushy plants, growing well. Two hun-
dred of this size of areca were to leave
two days after, but these would not be
seriously missed among so many. The
areas in 0-inch pots were also fine; 400
of this size had just left. The foliage all
through was of a deep, rich green. In
kentias there were shapely madeup as
well as single plants. Kentia Forsteriana
in 7-inch pots were especially well done.
The north side houses devoted to seed-
lings are worth seeing — arecas in thumb
pots and kentias in the bench, so thick
that their condition of perfect health
made you wonder.

The roses were nearly all replanted;
by this time the work must be finished.
The majority of the houses are in Beau-
ties, with one each of Liberty, Brides-
maid and Bride. All are strong stuff
' from 4-inch pots, the earlier planted
houses breaking nicely. One and a frac-
tion houses of Beauties in ground beds
will be carried over. The cut of Beauties
during May lias been phenomenally
heavy, the special grade being numer-
ous. Fully 20.000 young Beauty plants
have been sold this season.

Various Notes.

The trip to Morrisville last week
proved delightful. A member of the
party spoke in glowing terms of Mr.
Moon's hospitality and of the interest-
ing trip through the nursery. Jlr. Moon
gave a very interesting account of the
experience of the past fifty years, the
business having been established by his
father in the early fifties.

William L. Walton, of Oxford, Pa.,
is bringing in some fine Prosperity and
Portia to the Flower Market.

Miss Mary C. Henriei and William
Reynolds were married Tuesday evening,
June 23. After a very pretty ceremony
an elaborate wedding supper was served,
in which many of the retailers and
wholesalers were participants. Amid
bombs, ) ■(,.,.. ,,i,i shoes, etc., the bride and

groom left that evening for a month's
honeymoon at Hightstown, X. J. Mr.
Reynolds is with E. Bernheimer. "Billy."
we all wish you many years of happiness.

Cut Crimson Ramblers sold well on,
Thursday of last week, a church holiday
using lots of these flowers.

Thomas Foulds is much sought after
these days on account of the white pe-
tunia Sowers he carries.

J. J. HabermehFs Sons had a big job
in New York in which they used some
very choice stock. Some choice orchids
found their way to this place.

Frank W. Whiteley is a gentleman of
leisure these days, but he does not for-
get to visit his old friends once a week.

Tearing out and replanting is in full
swing just now and there will be several
more houses of Liberty planted next year.
John Stephenson's Sons, Oak Lane, will
have a house of this variety next season.

J. Wolff, Jr., has been busy with wed-
dings and decorations, of which he makes
a specialty. He is well equipped for this
work, having a large stock of decorative
plants at his Sedgely avenue place.

Mrs. Edgar, of 2307 Ridge avenue, had
a very good spring trade. She was un-
fortunate in having had an attack of
typhoid fever earlier in the season, but
has now entirely recovered.

Albert Woltemate has almost finished
his planting out. He has sold a great
many crotons this year and says that he
is cleaned out nicely of all salable stock.

E. A. Hutchinson is building a new
carnation house, 20x50, at Oxford. Mr.

Picnic Plans.

The "good old summer time'' is still
off the track somewhere and the weather
for three weeks has been a disgrace to
itself and a menace to humanity. Not
content with eight weeks of drought, we
have been literally swamped with three
weeks of rain. Weather prophets now
predict a change with the moon on Thurs-
day and a 90 degree temperature there-
after. In any event, we must have fine
weather on July 1, for the club's outing
will be the greatest gathering in its re-
creating history. The demand for tickets
is great, Mr. Traendly says, and he is
far in advance of last seasons' record at
the same date. Whole families are go-
ing, and while moderation in all things
will prevail, it is now an assured fact
that the boat will be full. Some idea
of the numbers may be gathered by the
knowledge that J. Reimel, of Woodhaven,
has sent for eight tickets, and Louis
Schmutz, of Flatbush, for six, while many
of the club members have purchased four
or more, and about every active or prom-
inent member will be there. The athletic
part of the day is well attended to. In
addition to the splendid prizes already
announced, Chas. Schenck will give a

The general report among the better
class of retail stores is that June has
not been up to last year. There have
been some good wedding jobs but the
European hejira seems to come earlier
every year and this season there has not
been" the usual call for flowers for com-
mencements in the many private schools
about the city and suburbs. Funeral
work, too, has run light this month.

C. H. Fisk has been under the weather
but is now feeling like himself again.
He was in St. Louis for two or three
days while the flood was on.

The Glen View Floral Co. has been
incorporated by Maurice W. Barnhart,
Hans P. Gerhardt and Jas. P. Gaseoigne.
The capital stock is $3,000.

Louis Wittbold and family have re-

ing, 111., Mrs. Wittbold's old home.

Peter Reinberg has had a fine cut of
Liberty this month, but next week will
throw out the two-year-old plants and
begin to dry off the year old stock, so
does not expect much for July and Aug-
ust.

The Schramms will each build one
more house this season.

The E. F. Winterson Co. report some-
thing doing in the supply line. One or-
der this week was for 36 dozen wheat
sheaves.

George Reinberg is getting well along
with his rebuilding and adding five
houses and 700 boxes of French gl.i— are
beginning to be anxiously awaited. He
has a tremendous field of carnation
plants in fine shape.

Peter J. Schumer, whose place ad-

who has had half his establishment in

space, the latter for preference. Ayena
sterilis, Pennisetum longistylum, Tricho-
lena rosea, and Paspalum elegans are
taller growers, rising from two to three
feet high, and consequently needing to
be thinned out to from six inches to one
foot apart.

Spiraea Opulifolia Aurea.— With the
solitary exception of Spiraea prunifolia.
whose leaves die off in the autumn bright-
ly tinged with red, this is the only spir-
aea remarkable for its colored leafage.
It belongs to that class of golden-leaved
shrubs that are seen at their best when
the foliage is first expanded, while some
others almost green in the spring be-
come richly tinted as the summer ad-
vances. Another shrub that behaves in
a similar manner is the golden-leaved
variety of Ribes alpinum pumilum, which
by midsummer is quite green; while in
Weigela Looymani aurea, the golden
elder, and Cornus Spathi the golden color
deepens throughout July and August.

Uses of Electricity in Plant Growth.—
The experiments by Dr. Lemstrom, of
Helsingfors, in the uses of electricity
in stimulating the growth of vegetable
and other crops gave some interesting
results, and a German translation of the
report on them has been issued by Dr.
Otto Pringsheim. The experiments ap-
pear to have been suggested by an at-
tempt to connect the luxuriant growth
of plants in high latitudes with the in-
fluence of electric currents associated
with the Aurora Borealis. The experi-
ments showed that for plants growing on
arable land of medium quality an in-
crease of 45 per cent in the crops is
obtainable. On poor soil the effect is
trifling. Certain plants, such as pea9,
cabbages and turnips, only lend them-
selves to electrical treatment after being
watered. It is, however, injurious to
most, if not all, plants to submit them
to the influence of electricity in hot sun-
shine. In the introduction, Dr. Prings-
heim makes some estimate of the cost
of applying the method to agricultural
purposes and arrives at the conclusion
that it can be made to pay. A further
suggestion is that we have here an ex-
planation of the needle-shaped leaves of
coniferous plants, which are well adapt-
ed to facilitate the passage of electricity.

SPRAYING CROPS.

In the ten years Prof. Clarence M.
Weed's little treatise on spraying has
enjoyed a sale which has exhausted three
and made necessary a fourth edition, re-
written and brought up to date. The
book of 150 pacres. fully illustrated, covers
the whole field of spraying but, while
there is much of interest on every page,
probably of greatest value, particularly
to florists, is the chapter on insecticides
and fungicides, in which formulae are
given for making all the standard reme-
dies. The book is brought out by the
Orange Judd Co., but copies will be sent
postpaid upon receipt of 50 cents by the
Florists' Review.

Findlay, O.— S. J. McMichael says
that he lost at least 100,000 tomato
plants by frost this spring. He had
among many orders one for 75.000 plants,
but was unable to ship it in full because
of the damage by frost. Still it has
been a good season.

FLORICULTURE.

Under the above title a paper was
read before a Farmers' Institute at Tif-
fin, O., by Mr. Lewis Ullrich, the florist
nf that city, and should a similar paper
be read before like bodies all over the
i ountry a vast amount of good to the
trade would result. Florists are as a
rule inclined to overlook or ignore these
opportunities to advance their business
interests. This paper is so well adapt-
ed for the purpose that we print it be-
low and if any other florist should wish
to make use of it in the manner origi-
nally used by Mr. Ullrich we feel sure
no objection would be made by that
gentleman.

Floriculture is the cultivation of
plants and flowers, for pleasure or profit.
Plants have been cultivated more or less
through all the ages, up to the present
time, and there has been a vast increase
in the taste for floriculture in the last
fifty years. Almost every part of the
earth is clothed with vegetation, each
particular plant being adapted to the
circumstances and conditions in which it
is placed. In the tropics we find the
plant kingdom at the height of its de-
velopment, the wonderland of flowers,
and in the more temperate region the
plant kingdom is less striking and grad-
ually diminishes in all forms, until we
reach the perpetual snow line, where no
vegetation exists.

God Almighty in his infinite wisdom
saw fit to create this great diversity of
plants and flowers to break the same-
ness and monotony that would otherwise

in beh
nature
boundl
upon o

l kin-s

ources to bear practical!}
wants and luxuries. Now

'Should the cultivation of
plants I"' encouraged?" Of course I
would say it should, being in the floral
business, but that would be a selfish mo-
tive if I could give no other reason for
their cultivation.

Take a little child into the fields in
early spring, when the wild flowers first
begin to bloom. There is something in
thai little body that urges it to get
these flowers. That "something" is the
love for the beautiful, which God has
placed into nearly every heart and needs
only the proper condition to develop.

As this child

it it will

be satisfied with the native wild flowers,
but will want some of those which have
been brought from foreign countries and
have been acclimated by the practical
florist, so as to serve man's purpose in
decorating home and garden.

In passing through the country we
come to a fine residence surrounded by
a beautiful lawn. The fences are nicely
painted or whitewashed, everything about
the place is neat and orderly, no stray
tools lying about. The walks kept clean
of weeds, no rubbish growing along the
fence rows, the trees and shrubbery
nicely trimmed and kept. Prominent in
one place we see a bed of bright geran-
iums, at another, farther back on the
lawn, a bed of blooming French cannas
and at another place a bed of tea roses
and near by a fancy bed of coleus and
other foliage plants; along the fence on
the north side of the yard a bed of
annuals and other blooming plants, and
last, but not least, is a permanent per-
enniel bed which will produce blossoms
the whole season through, year after
year, from early spring until frost comes.
The general appearance of such a place
as this wnul. I suggest the occupants to
be persons of order, taste and refine-

At this time a few suggestions as to
the proper preparations and planting of
such beds as are here alluded to may
be of interest to some of my hearers,
and if you will bear with me a few
moments, I will try and make it as plain
to you as I can in as few words as pos-
sible.

In preparing the soil for a geranium
bed it is essential first to spade deep.
If the soil is in a poor condition a
good quantity of well rotted stable
manure spaded under is necessary, but
if the soil is a good rich loam it will
not take much manure, for if the soil
is too rich the geraniums will grow too
rank in foliage and will not bloom as
freely. Now when the bed is prepared
if you want it all one solid color, for
such a bed is more attractive than mixed
colors, don't plant any old thing, for
there are lots of geraniums that are
not worth the room they take up. Select
only free blooming ones. If you want
the bed a solid red color take any of
the following sorts: Heteranthe, Pres.
Smith, S. A. Nutt, Bruant, etc. If you
want it pink, any of the following :
Miss Frances Perkins, Emile de Girar-
din; if white, LaFavorite is the best.

After the geraniums ure placed, hav-
ing planted them about 15 inches apart,
if you have chosen red, a good effect
is produced by planting a boarder of
yellow coleus on the edge of the bed
about 15 inches from the outer row of
geraniums and about S inches apart in
the row. If it is a rank growing coleus
you must keep the plants pinched back
so they will not gum higher than the
geraniums, and that thej will branch
out and fill up the gaps between the
plants, so us to make a solid yellow
border.

Now as to a bed of French cannas
and caladiums (or Elephant Ears as
some call them). Both of these to do
very well want a great deal of manure
and water. These thrive best in a
heavy soil well fertilized. In prepar-
ing a bed of'this kind I advise to throw
out two spades' depth of soil, say from
18 to 24 inches deep. Such a bed is
usually made round and wide enough
so as to place the plants 15 to 18 inches

rankest stable manure you can get, put
about, a foot deep in the hole you have
dug and framp as firmly as possible,
then put the soil on top of this.

There are various ways of planting
canna beds, a very effective one is to
plant in the center a tall-growing, red-
blooming sort and around this a more
dwarf kind, blooming yellow, then out-
side of all these a row of Caladium
osciileiituui bulbs. Such a bed is very
inexpensive, say I1.,, dozen well estab-
lished canna plants mid one dozen Cala-
dium esculentum bulbs. These can be
procured for from $1.00 to $1.50 per
dozen, so that for $i.50 to $3.50 you
can have a showy and attractive tropical
effect on your lawn. The roots of these
can be wintered over in a good cellar
and you will have enough to plant two
or more beds another season.

Now I will describe the preparation
and planting of a bed that should adorn
the yard of every home, and that is a
bed of tea roses. Something that, if
properly planted and cared for will give
you roses all summer. These should be
planted ill the spring time as early as
the soil can be worked, say in April.

Prepare the bed about in the same
manner as the canna bed before de-
scribed, with this difference: instead of
using rank, strong manure, use such
as is well rotted to put in the bottom
of the bed. Be sure to select a sunny
spot where the water will not stand
around the plants in winter time. After
you have the bed prepared put your
plants on top of the bed. placing them
so that they are about 15 to 18 inches
apart all around. Now after you have
spared them as you want them, then
plant them just where they stand, dig-
ging a hole large enough so as to re-
ceive the roots without cramping them,
and tramp the soil very firmly around!
the plants, and when all are planted
give them a thorough soaking; by that
I mean not a sprinkling of water with
a watering can, but a thorough water-
ing so that the bed is soaked entirely
through to the bottom of the trench,
and after a few days they will show
by their growth that they have taken
hold of the soil. "Then they want a
thorough soaking every evening during
the summer, especially if the summer
should be a dry one; this is very im-
portant if you want lots of roses during
the season. The soap suds you get on
wash days is a very good thing to throw
on your rose bed. Such a bed is very
inexpensive. You can get the plants for
from 15 to 25 cents each by buying them
of a florist who makes it a business to
grow roses for cut flowers. You can get
large plants from the benches with a
clump of soil about the roots and if
planted at once as I advise, they will
go right on and bloom and never suffer
the least by the transfer to your garden.

The most essential thing in rose cul-
ture is to plant early, firmly, and give
plenty of water. As to the protection
they need during the winter, after the
ground is frozen, cover with dry leaves,
but not enough to cover the entire
plants. Such a bed, if properly planted
and cared for, will thrive for years.
I know of some that have been planted
at different, times during the past six or
eight years, and are yet in good condi-
tion. Of course now and then a plant
dies, but at a small outlay can be re-
placed. The foliage of rose plants is

often injured by mildew and insects.
Mildew usually affects rose plants dur-
ing cold, rainy spells; this can be recog-
nized by the leaves curling, becoming
brown spotted and being covered with
a gray mold. When this first appears
it can be held in check by sprinkling
powdered sulphur on the leaves. This
is more likely to appear on plants that
are planted in a more or less shaded
place, or too close together; in either
case the foliage grows soft and the ex-
cessive moisture cannot dry off as read-
ily as it should. You hardly ever see
this on a rose bed planted in an open
place, subjected to the direct rays of
the sun, for there the foliage grows
more hardy and strong and is therefore
less subject to this trouble.

The most prevalent scourge that tin
roses are subject to in this part of the
state is the little greenish white slug,
that skeletonizes the leaves by eating
off the green substance of the leaf and
leaving only the woody frame, but if
this little fellow is taken in time he
can be gotten rid of. There are two
broods of this pest during the season,
one in June and another in the latter
part of August ; you can detect his first
appearance by some of the leaves show-
ing small white spots and stripes where
the little fellow has been feeding. If
you are watchful to note this, and then
in the evening, for this little pest has
his banquet usually by night, sprinkl*
the plants with powdered hellebore. You
can get entirely rid of this pest by
one or two applications; but you must
not wait until the mischief has been
done and your rose plants have become
unsightly by his ravages. The same
treatment will rid you of the leaf eat-
ing worm on your currant and gooseberry
bushes.

As to the preparation of a bed of
flowers along the north fence as suggest-
ed, any good garden soil will answer
and there are a great many good things

for such a bed. Heliotropes, petunias,
feverfew, lantanas, salvias, ageratums,
I'lirh-das. and an endless variety of an-
nuals which can be raised from lead,
which all add to the appearance of th«
bed and give you a greater variety of
flowers to pick from for a bouquet.

Now as to a bed of eoleus and other
fancy-leaved plants. These are usually
planted so as to represent some design,
fancy ribbon beds, stars, crescents and
various other designs. The soil for such
a bed should be rather a poor soil, for
if the soil is too rich the plants will
grow too rank and thus outgrow the
design and will lose a great deal of
their beautiful coloration. The plants
will have to be pinched back and sheared
so they will grow evenly, and so that
the color lines and the shape of the de-
sign are retained. In the selection of
plants for this bed it is well to take such
varieties as are known to retain their
colors when bedded out, for a great
many sorts that look th« best and have
Ihe brightest colors when grown in pots
lose their beauty, color and markings,
when bedded out.

As to the preparation necessary for
a perennial bed. First select a spot
of good soil where the bed will remain
undisturbed, spade deep and enrich with
well rotted manure, and if a good selec-
tion of plants is made it will give you
flowers the whole season through. Plants
for such a bed are numerous. Various
colored irises, pseonias, phlox, Golden
Glow rudbeckia, columbines, gaillardias,
lilies of different kinds, the yellow day
lily, candidum or St. Joseph 's lily, spe-
ciosum lilies (alba and rubra), chry-
santhemums of different colors, and hun-
dreds of other equally as good things.
When such a bed is once planted you
will have something that needs but lit-
tle attention. You must keep it free
from weeds and in the fall spade up
the soil, as then there is less danger of
injuring the roots, for you can readily

see where the different plants are by
the dry tops that remain from the sum-
mer. After it is spaded give it a top
dressing of rotted stable manure and
leaf mold.

I have now outlined the preparation
and necessary care of a few plant beds
and if there are any of my hearers who
have not already had experience in such
work and who may be inclined to try
their hand at it this coming season, I
would suggest to them to select such
beds as would be best suited to the
surroundings of their homes, for not all
are so fortunate as to have places so
extensive as the home heretofore de-
scribed, but may have room for only
one or two beds which, if well done,
will afford you pleasure at but little
cost. I feel satisfied that it is appa-
rent to every intelligent and unpreju-
diced mind that every improvement and
embellishment made about a home will
not only add to its financial value, but
cultivates a taste for the beauties of na-
ture and have a refining influence upon
both old and young.

There is an impression in the minds
of some of our people throughout the
country that the farmer has no time for
anything but to work his crops. This
may have been the case with our fore-
fathers fifty or seventy-five years ago,
but in these times of advancement and
culture there is no reason why the far-
mer and his family should not spend a
little of their time in pursuit of pleas-
ure. There are various sources of pleas-
ure, one of them is found in thus beau-
tifying the grounds about their homes.
And that this is being done by some is
very apparent.

I could not get along without your
valuable paper. I have read all the
florists' magazines and I must say yours
excels them all. — P. W. Hennessy, Jop-
lin, Mo.

Then, as they

are male and female flowers each year,

they have never borne fruit. Some ■

suggested that they need -alt air and
that I am too far from the sea. but
cannot think that is the reason, as we
have quantities of wild hazel nuts in
the woods here. B. B. B.

In reference to the failure of your
filberts to bear nuts, there are some
points not elucidated by your note,
which have an important hearing on the
solution of the problem. First, how
many are there of your filbert trees?
In the hazel, as you have remarked, the
staminate and pistilate flowers are sep-
arate, and nature, possibly to disfavor
inbreeding, ordains that the staminate
catkins appear considerably in advance
of the female flowers on the same shrub;
hence, if there arc only a limited num-
ber of plants in the group, the chances

eis. _\ like conaiuon occurs in maize,
and experience shows that s few'" stalks
alone generally suffer from de-
ficient pollination. In the cultivation
of the filbert in England it has been
found that in ccriain localities it will
not produce enough catkins for proper
fertilization, and the supplying of po|
len from the catkins of the wild hazel
is advised as a remedy. It would also
be important to know whether the til
liert has borne nuts in your locality.
Because of the structural peculiarity
noted above, there are many strictlj
local conditions which might affect the
result — exposure to winds at the time
of blooming, premature opening
kins, excessive rains oi moistun
of these might hinder the forming of

igh failure of pollen. In
he cutting out of all suckers
louth is found to favor the
of nuts. Perhaps too

CINCINNATI.

Moderate weather is still with us and
business is very much the same as re-
ported last week; that is, it is first-class,
being a tinal deal better than for this
time last year. This seems to be the
general report, for all those whom I have
asked say that, there is a very good in-
■ rease over last year. It. would be a
bard matter to give any special reasons
for this, other than that the florists'
.ii-i ii.- — i~ a growing business and is as
yet only in its infancy.

The supply of stock' is still holding out
remarkably well for the season. Roses,
if anything, are improving in quality,
Maids being especially good in many
cases. La France are much in demand
and there are some fine vines to be had.
Golden Gate and Ivory are doing first-
class. Brides are not extra. The ma-
jority of the shipped ones arrive badly
bruised and almost unsalable. Liberties
and .Meteors are scarce and there are
not enough Beauties to fill all orders.
Those that come in, as a rule, are of
very good quality.

Owing to the cool weather carnations
also are good. There are none that you
can call fancy, but the best grades are
not far behind. The supply is about
equal to the demand, but more* good white
and red could be sold.

Continued rains keep the supply of
sweet, pea- very limited and the demand
for them is very good consequently. Some
g 1 ones are still being cut from in-
door-, and sell readily.

Some longiflorum lilies are still to be
had. but the supply is very limited.
There are but few callas. Alyssums,
candj tuft, stocks, etc.. find a ready
market and at good prices. You can
get anything you want in greens and
it is all good stock.

The Weekly Florists' Review*

SAN FRANCISCO.

The Market.

Business holds on fairly well consider-
ing that June is supposed tu be our quiet
month. The weather has been very cool
for the last two weeks and flowers, par-
ticularly roses, are in better color and
form than for some time past, (ai na-
tions are good, but very cheap. Estelle,
Prosperity, Lawson and most of the
fancy varieties wholesale at $2 per
hundred. Flora Hill. Ethel Crocker,
America, Mrs. Bradt, E. Schwerin, Mrs.
Joost, Win. Scott and such sorts whole-
sale at from $1 to $1.50 per hundred.
American Beauties bring from 75 cents
to $2 per dozen. Brides and Maids fetch
25 to 75 cents and Kaiserin and Liberty
from 25 to 50 ceuts per dozen. Outdoor
stock is very plentiful and is in fair de-
mand, but the bulk of it is disposed of
to the sidewalk merchants, of whom Sau
Francisco has a large share. Outdoor
lu-i- aie somewhat past their prime and
we shall not hstve another good crop until
fall.

Notes.

The California State Floral Society met
June 15, with Professor Emory Smith in
the chair. Theodore llittell read a paper
on "The Acorn and the Oak," and the
preservation of the oaks in California
wa> the principal topic of the day. The
society received a letter from President
Roosevelt, thanking the members for the
".in of golden poppies on the occasion
of his recent visit.

John Gill, of West. Berkeley, well
known as the largest rose grower on the
coast, is at present on a visit to Southern
California.

John Breeu will have charge of the
large greenhouses now in the course of
erection at Burlingame for P. C. Meyer.
They have contracted for a large lot of
field-grown roses for forcing and it is the
intention to force about 20,000 chrysan-
themums for this coming season. G.

KANSAS CITY.

Business is now in the good old sum-
mer way. except for an occasional good
funeral order or a wedding job. Sweet
peas are plentiful and good and sell
well, roses and carnations are off color
and small.

A. F. Barbe will elose his downtown
store for the summer.

Arthur Newell has bought another
horse, which he thinks is Pat's equal or
better.

J. S. Short, of Kansas City, Kans.,
reports that there is always something
doing over at bis place across the Kaw.

Geo. M. Kellogg, of Pleasant Hill, Mo.,
reports the loss of a barn by lightning
and fire Sunday. L. M. S.

Santa Cruz, Cat..— Mr. Luther Bur-
bank, of Santa Rosa, has been here the
past week, recuperating from an attack
of la grippe. He says that among his
nov.hies for next year is an improved
form of the Shasta daisy, with flowers
fully double the size of the original of
the type. He lias also a double form of
this daisy. Among fruits his leading
novelty is a race of plums that have no
stones. On the occasion of the concert

"Thripscide"

Greenhouse Fumigating Powder

Is the newest and best article on the market
to-day for the complete destruction of all
insects that infest cireenhouses or Conserv-
atories, being a special boon to Rose and
Beauty growers and prepared particularly for
the destruction of Sreenfly and Thrips.
There is nothing injurious in it to plant life.
even the most delicate fern. It is especially
recommended for Beauties, Roses, Carna-
tions, Chrysanthemums, Lilies, Smilax.
Asparagus, Palms, Ferns, etc., and we claim
that insects will l><- entirely eradicated when
the houses are thoroughly fumigated with
the powder. It is put up as follows:

1 lb. Tin Can..! S .25

5 lb. Tin Can 1 OO

25 lb. Sealed Box 4 50

100 lb Sealed Box 16 60

MISCELLANEOUS
SEASONABLE HINTS.

Mignonette.
Somewhere about the middle of July
is a good time to sow mignonette for
next winter's crop. We consider it a
profitable crop, and we have a neighbor
who makes a good thing out of it. It is
not much good to mention varieties, as
most likely you will have some -train
selected and saved yourself. When Al-
lan's Defiance was true it was very
good. There i- not so much in varietv
as in the growing. Mignonette is a dif-
ficult plant t<> transplant as you do
asters, etc., therefore you should sow a
dozen seeds where you want the plant
in the bed. or sow three little patches of
seed in 2* -inch pots and when large
enough separate without disturbing the
roots. Whichever waj you do, it is well
to have a plant or two for the green cab-
bage worm, which will be sure to be
around in August and September, and
they are so identically the color of the
foliage that you don't see them until
they have had a good feed. However, a
little Paris green sprayed over them in
time gives the worms acute indigestion
and they are not a serious pest. My
friend who grows mignonette so well ami
profitably plants it on a raised bench in
five or six inches of soil, and that will
grow it well up to Easter. Still, a solid
bed will grow it better and keep the foli-
age a better color. One foot apart is close
enough to plant them if you want good
spikes and a continuous crop. It wants
the fullest light, and 40 degrees at night
is plenty warm enough.

Bermuda Lilies.

It will not be Jong before the earliest
shipments of Bermuda lilies . arrive.
They are a verj important article nowa-
days and from October on arc always in
good demand. ( onsidering the price of
the bulbs, the short time they occupy
the bench and the little space they re-
quire, they are assuredly one of the most
profitable plants we grow. The 5 to 7
bulbs are those usually grown for mid-
winter use. They are nearly all used
cut and there is less waste of unopened
buds. A stalk with three or four flowers
is easier to arrange than one with six or
seven flowers and buds. I once tried a
dozen bulbs in a flat five or six inches
deep. I don't like the plan nearly so
well as growing them in ."i-inch pots.

Don't delay at all in getting the bulbs
potted. It doe- the bulbs no good to he
exposed to the air; it is very unnatural.
Sometimes you may have a shaded bench
where the house is as cool or cooler than
outside. If so. they can be potted and
stood on the bench at once. If you have no
such bench, put them in a frame and
cover with boards to keep the sun from
drying them out. In any case, after pot-
ting and watering lay an inch of sphag-
num moss or refuse hops or some light
material on the surface of the soil and
much less watering will be needed. It
can be shaken off later when growth has
started. As the bulbs are but lately
dug in Bermuda and now is their rest-
ing time, don't expect them to start off

rooting and growing as you do those that
you pot in October. Just keep them
moderately and uniformly moist, but
not wet, and have patience. \\ hen they
are well rooted they can be given a light,
warm house: and to have them in flower
by early November they will want a good
heat in the cool nights of September
and October. Unless you grow for a big

for the holidays, for they are in demand
then for decorations. Don't use any
fresh manure in the soil. A good loam
with a little well rotted manure added
suit- them finely.

How to fumigate is

ligate is not vet settled,
particularly with roses, for burning to-
bacco stems, if strong enough to keep the
flj down, will most assuredly curl up the
petals of the teas. With many of our
plants the old tin pot and tobacco stems
does \ ii \ well, but it gives the flowers
a barbarous odor and we don't always
know how much or little it has crippled
the growth of many plants. So much
for the old-fashioned smoke pot, but let
me say here that in my opinion it is not
the nicotine in the smoke that twists the
petals of roses and burns the leaves of
other plants, but just the smoke itself.
And, finally, it is a very disagreeable
job. There are lots of us so saturated
with nicotine that we can hold our heads
over the fumigating pot and discuss the
weather or Chamberlain's proposed pref-
erential imperial tariff, but at the same
time whenever I say. "You are going to
smoke tonight. Charlie." I have a slight

little pyramids of tobacco dust on the
floor— say about one pint — and the apex
oi i hi' cone is lighted and it smoulders
away for an hour or two. It' it burns as
desired, it is, 1 think, the best and most
effectual of all methods to keep down
IK without injuring flowers or foliage.

But 1 can tell you. or some of you,
of a better way of burning the dust.
The method I have used most satisfac-
torily the past winter in the six rose
houses was given me by our revered and
honored friend of Syracttse, X. Y., he
who went to Philadelphia a few years
ago and "made his mark, you sec." later
of the scarlet Flamingo lame, and any-
one who has seen his carnation flowers
or heard him talk would have to admit
that his method of fumigating is "O. K.,"
for there are no flies on him. Air. llar-
quisee will, I feel sure, have no objection
to my attempting to help a brother flor-
ist. He ma\ have given this to you him-
self, brother florist. If so, I did not no-
tice it.

Mr. Marquisee's Device.

Proline at. the tinware shop some
cake pans. In correspondence I have
called them pie dishes, but my better
half says that pie dishes are round, so we
will call these cake dishes. As I don't
eat pie or cake, she is most, likely right.
Those I am using measure at the bottom
eleven inches long and six and one-half
wide, and the edge, which flares out-
ward, is two inches deep. Size, of course,
is of no consequence, hut I think the
above size is about right. The bottom
of the dish is cut out to within three-
quarters of an inch of the sides of the
dish and then a piece of wire mosquito
netting is cut the size of the bottom of
the dish and laid in place of the tin cut
out. On one end of the dish we have a
strip of tin riveted on beneath, so as
to keep one end up and afford a draught
up through the dust. We fill this dish
about three-quarters of its depth with
the dust. When lighting put a few drops
of kerosene oil at the lowest point, touch
a match to it. and go home. In the six
houses, each 21x150, we have used twen-
ty-four pans, or four to a house. By
doing this faithfully once a week we
have not seen a sign of greenfly or any
other fly. There has not been a vestige
of injury to the roses and it has been
a comfort and pleasure to do the trick.

And if it is good for roses it is good
tor everything else. Looking through
the glass fr utside you would scarce-
ly know anything was going on. but an
hour after the stuff is lighted the effect
on your eyes will quickly let you know
that there is nicotine around. Every
particle of the dust is consumed. And
in the morning don't let the dishes lie
kicking around the paths, but pick them
up and have a place for them. The
whole outfit for these houses costs but
a trifle and after eight months' service
neither the tin nor the netting is the
worse for wear. I think Air. Marquisee
said he got his dust (he gets a good
deal of dust from all over the country)
from tin' local cigar makers. I use reg-
ular fumigating dust from Xew York
City, which costs 2 cents per pound, and
it pays to get the proper article. But I

Km thr next few weeks tin- young sto<

along the sides of the paths. These, it

Attention to these matters, however
small they may appear, should form part
of the daily duties of the grower, for it
will surely bring it- reward. Staking

Tying," when properlj performed, i- a
tedious ami tiresome job ami requires a
lot ,,f patience. Each shoot should in- so
arranged ami tied that the air may cir-
culate among the leaves ami with due re-
gard to giving the bush a symmetrical
form.

The young -hoot-, being -"ft and as
in deficient in woody fiber, will require
lari'fnl handling. Tin- -tring- must be
tied -o that there max be room foi the
-hoot to swell ami develop without inter-
fering with the bark. If tied too tight
t In. bark will overgrow tin- string. This
will interfere with the free flow of sap
ami cause those unsightly protuberances
on the stem which an- a sure evidence of

Disbudding will also claim attention.
Merely nipping oil' tin- bud i- a rather
primitive ami easy way of doing the
Work, but it i- far from attaining the
object desired, viz.: encouraging and
strengthening the eyes which should
be selected for the future stems bj divert-
ing to them the flow of sap, instead of
letting it be used in developing and per-
fecting flowers and leaves which at pres-
ent are not desirable or necessary.

It is a safe plan to cut oil', along with
the bud. three or more of the topmost
eyes, being guided in this number by the
-trength and length of th,- stem operated
on. If this i- done carefully and with
-kill it reduces tin- production of small
blind wood, giving room ami light to the
remaining eyes, which are designed to
furnish the future flowering -tern.

A MALFORMATION.

Thi- malformation is not an uncom,
ini.ii occurrence among the sweet briars,
and sometimes extend- to the mosses and
hybrid teas. It prevails during cold
ami lie i-t weather ami particularly in
shady situations, and hut rarely where
exposed to full sunshine. It is really a di-
version of all the petals, pistils, leaves
of the calyx, etc. into stamens, which
in -nine ea-e- become so crowded a- to
assume the form of a moss. Thi- i- no
teal disease, a- it may be found in bushes
producing an abundance of the finest

It is rarely found in tea- or their hy-
brids, nor' in 11. TV and never under

some insect interfering with' the bud (a

in -pitc of plenty of ventilation. Now
1 would like to 'keep this bed of roses

now. Will it be necessary to drj these
off or can we keep them growing right
along? The varieties are American

Seeing that these roses were planted

close the ventilators so that the powder

keep them closed for half an hour or so.
This should lie done during bright

This should be done twice a week till
the trouble disappears, and nine a week
after that, as a precautionary measure.
When firing becomes necessary, paint-
ing the pipes with a mixture of two
parts sulphur and one part air -hiked
lime will keep mildew away. If steam
i- used, put the sulphur on the- return

ROOTING 'MUMS LATE.
When Ki.li.,4 tiie recent article on
(In \ ■sjni henuuns damping oil'. I thought

hut I cii, hi not get good stems and the
plants were not as strong as those from
earlier culiirgs. So I struck upon the
following plan, which has given me
-ie.it satisfaction for my last hatch of
stock is even bigger and stronger than
the first.

After the stock plants are brought in
from the eold frame they are planted mi

a light bench in good soil: then a- -

ii- tl nttings me about three inches

high they are taken and rooted in -and
in the usual way. Then the stock plants
are covered up with soil until nothing is
seen but a few dead sticks left from last
year's cut. and the label of each sort.
They are then watered and very soon
the shoots begin to break through and
grow very rapidly, making strong
growth. When they are about -i\
inches high they are pulled off, not cut
oil', and are found to he tine plant- ready
for 3-inch pots, with a large bunch of
root- and most of them with two stems,
which are left on if the previous cut
ting was strong when cut. They are
then potted into 3-inch pots and well
watered and shaded until they start
growing.

The cuttings, or I should say plants,
taken this way are very strong and vig-
orous, as there is no drain on their vital-
ity in making roots, for their attach-
ment to the stock plants sustains and
keeps them growing. They verj soon
outstrip the sand-struck plants, for by
the time the sand-struck plants are
ready for 3-inch pots these are ready
for 4-inch, or the bench, if it is ready
for them.

A second crop of cuttings may be taken
baforc the stock plants are coverol op.
i! the stock plants are brought in parly
enough from the frame and if much
stock is wanted. The varieties I have
rooted in this manner are ilajor Bon-
natl'mi. Mrs. Weeks. Ivory. Autumn
Glory, J. E. Lager. Glory 'of Pacific,
Polly Rc-c. i let i, l>cr Sunshine and Mr-.
Jerome Jones. The latter does not root
as readily as tl thers; it has to re-
main longer on the plants. 1 am sure
that anyone who tries this method in
rooting his last hatch of cuttings from
.stock plants will be more than satisfied
with results. Rudolph Fischer.

CARNATION NOTES-EAST.

Stem-Rot in the Field.
Carnation fields in this section are

in most instances -naked to the point of
saturation, making it impossible to cul-
tivate, besides producing condition- con-
ducive to the development of stem-rot.
There are so many conditions beyond
our control that tend toward the de-
velopment of this disease in the field
that it must lie admitted to be one of.
if not the worst enemy with which the
grower has to contend. An advantage
in having its ravages take place in the
field is that less time and space are
wasted, also contamination of valuable
bench soil is avoided. I do not believe
it to he a constitutional disease, hut
broughl on wholly by condition- sur-
rounding the plants. In that case it is
necessary to resort to prevention rather
than cure.

Intelligent preparation of Held soil
a- regards fertility, method of handling,
grade and genera] aspect of the land

had cases of stem-rot mi land enriched

other hoed crop had been grown the
tir-t vear. the land ploughed late in the
fall, 'left exposed to tile action of the
frost, again ploughed in the spring and
with the harrow ine in of a libera] coal
of wood ashes or air-slaked lime, the
result would have hen different.

In the case of depression in the land
allowing the plants to stand in water
for -onic time, the effect cannot In- hi id

would suffer by the rotting of its roots.
We see equally well grown plant- on

so that while moisture has its effect in
aggravating the trouble, it can hardly

can be put down as the cause.

From the time the plant i- set in the

indu-m has assumed uim prop.., was
in recent years. In Bermuda more than
3,000,000 'bulbs are exported annually to
the United States. In Japan, at the
present day millions of bulbs are grown
from seed 'each year, the demand being
so large that enough cannot be grown
from vegetative reproduction. But, un-
fortunately, up to the present time there
lias been no selection from the seedlings.
This i- the reason why with each im-
portation from Japan 'many bulbs are
found which, when the plants begin to
bloom, lack uniformity in size of stem,
foliage, time of flowering and other char-
acteristics. It is owing principally to
the decadence of the Bermuda crop that
the demand for bulbs from Japan has in-
creased so very markedly in recent years.
In 1895 the value of the bulbs export.. I
from that country was $40,000. In 1899
the figures jumped to $130,000 and the
increase during the past three seasons
has doubtless been correspondingly large.
Owing to the frequent and constantly
increasing number of complaints rela-
tive to the diseased condition of the Ber-
muda and Japan grown bulbs, the grow-
ers of this country are confronted with
a condition to which considerable atten-
tion has already been given with a view-
to mitigating the troubles with which
they have to contend in forcing the bulbs
into bloom. When it is considered that
probably over 5.000,000 lily bulbs are
forced each spring, it will be seen that
the crop is of great value; but expei
ences indicate that profits are very much
curtailed by the diseased condition of
the bulbs. During the past year com-
plaints have been received from some of
the largest growers that from 20 to 60

cent of the bulbs were

pose, and, while a few growers use care,
lax methods prevail because of the greater
immediate gain. For instance, in the
growing of bulbs for the American mar-
ket the smaller sizes are planted in the
fall and harvested in July, or befon thi
bulbs have thoroughly ripened. In the
process of handling, many immature
scales .hop from the bulbs. These are
not thrown away, as they should be. but
are carefully saved and planted with a
view to raising small bulbs. These
bulb- ultimately form a large part of the
general crop.

As a result of investigation by the

United States Department of Agriculture,
it has been shown that by the use of
-reds instead of scales, larger bulbs can
be secured in a much shorter time than
by the scale method. If the general crop
were raised from seeds there would be a
saving of at least a year in the produc-
tii n of a marketable bulb. Moreover, it
has been demonstrated that in this wai
plants can be grown which are entirely
free from disease, and, most important
of all, that the seedlings give an oppor-
tunity to select better types than exist
at the present time.

In a large number of seedlings at
least 50 per cent can be counted on to
-how desirable characteristics, which will
be shown the first year following that in
which the seed is sown, by the plants
coming into llowcr. The remainder can

(Showing bulb 18 weeks after germination

be discarded and the good ones grown
on for forcing, the size necessary for
which will lie attained the season fol-
lowing, or within two year- from the
time the seeds are sown. By keeping urj
the process of selection there will de-
velop in a very few years strains from
seed which will be superior to most of
the plants placed upon the market at the
present day.

The beginning of experimental work
along this line has been .allied on with
the utmost care. Several bulbs of the
true Lilium longiflorum and its principal
form- were secured. The bulb- -bowed no
trace of disease" and as orowth developed,
those plants which showed signs of ab-
normal development were removed from
the greenhouse and destroyed. A rigid
process of selection was kept up until
the plants came into flower.

A series of crosses were affected. The
flowers of several plants of L. longiflo-
rum were fecundated with pollen take"
from the flowers of L. Harrisii, and vice
versa. The seedlings from these crosses
have already flowered and the results are
very satisfactory. The progress made

by the lliiui- as a resuli of these

crosses i- somewhat, remarkable in that
they bore flowers in a comparatively
-hint time after germinating. The seed-
lings were in 2-inch pots about five weeks
after making their appearance above the
-oil. Ten weeks after germinating they

had made from two to four character
leaves. From this stage onward the
growth was quite rapid.

The smaller illustration shows a seed-
ling with all the radical leaves showing,
but not fully developed, eighteen weeks
after germination. This is the stage
just previous to the development of the
flower stem. The bulb at this period is
nearly three inches in circumference a".i
is wholly formed of the bases of the
leaves. This particular bulb was in no
way injured by the soil being washed
from the roots; it was repotted and
formed a stem which bore two flowers.
The bulbs shown in the larger illustra-
tion are the largest developed in the ex-
periment. They were of the batch of L.
Harrisii x L. longiflorum and were har-
vested August 15, ten months and four-
teen days after the seed germinated.
These bulbs measure six inches in circum-
ference and each bulb produced three
flowers above the average size. Where
Harrisii was crossed with longiflorum,
the plants in full bloom six months and
thirteen days after germinating, the flow-
ers were almost always longer than with
the reciprocal cross, usually full two
inches longer.

Lily farming in the United States is
so new that one must not be discouraged
if at first partial failure results. But
so easy is it to raise flowering plants
from seed that the writer is inclined to
believe that should the time come when
the disease is more rampant than at pres-
ent, growers will, when the subject is
better understood, be able to raise their
own bulbs by a system of greenhouse
treatment and have the plants from seed
flowering in pots ready to be sold with
a year.

This will probably seem like a fairy
tale to the participants of the lily con-
ference held in London in 1901. One of
the papers read at that time states that
many Bpecies of lilium must have from
ten t.. twelve years to develop a flower-
ing bulb from seed. Elwes. in his Mono-
graph on the Genus Lilium, says of L.
longiflorum, "in three or four "years at
most, flowering bulbs will be produced
from seed if the young plants are prop-
erly treated."

ASTERS AND DAHLIAS.

A reader of the Review modest enough
to sign himself Ignorant sends me an
aster plant and says that I will see that
its roofs are full of lice and "there is
also a white grub," and he wants to
know if there is any way to get rid of
them. I must confess that without the
aid of a microscope I could discover
neither. Perhaps in the few days' trav-
el both had disappeared. The plant
looked fairly thrifty and the roots
healthy. The only remedy I can think
of, and one which, if not too much
trouble, would be effectual, is tobacco.
Dilute the rose leaf extract of tobacco
to seventy-five times its weight or its
measurement in water, or the nicotine
to three hundred times, and give the
plants a watering sufficient to wet the
soil well. I would add that if the same
plot of ground is to be used again next
year for any such crops, a good dressing
of slaked quicklime should" be harrowed
in next spring.

The same reader asks: "Will dahlias

VIOLETS.

We seem to be going to extremes this
season. In my last notes I thought the
most seasonable thing we had was the
much needed rain that we were then en-
joying, but now we want it to stop as,
badly as we wanted to see it commence.
As a result of all this, plants outside
of the houses are in a fair way to get
swamped with weeds; there has been no
opportunity to work them, as it would
ruin the soil and hurt the plants.

As I said before, with the usual kind
of weather the greatest care must be
used for several weeks to come, during
the hot weather, that the red spider gets
no foothold. They want to be watched
sharply and at the first signs of spider.
in fact, frequently before, turn on the
full pressure of your water and give
the under sides of the leaves a thorough
spraying. It has to be done with so
much vigor that when you get done you
can readily see which way the water
struck the plants.

It is also well to go over the houses
about once a week and note all the plants
that are not starting as they should,
not holding their own with the majority
of the house. Weed out such, throwing
them away and planting in good ones
from your surplus stock growing in the
field. You can afford to give these a
little extra care in lifting, so as not to
shake off too much earth, so that they
may not know that they have been re-
moved, and in this way keep right up
with those in the house.

In weeding and trimming the plants
be sure and not throw them down in the
paths, even for a few days, as it is a
plain invitation to the sow bugs, etc.,
to make their home with you. and when
it comes time to pick the violets, you
will be looking for remedies for these
pests that are eating the blooms faster
than they can open. Any decaying mat-
ter of this kind invites sickness and dis-
ease in the plants themselves, so cleanli-
ness is important in more ways than
one, to say nothing about the looks of
the establishment.

CINCINNATI PREMIUMS.
_ The Fall Festival Association of Cin-
cinnati has issued a schedule of liberal
premiums for an exhibition September
10, to be held under the auspices of the
Cincinnati Florists' Society. Competi-
tion is open to all, and it i's hoped that
many growers from a distance will send
exhibits. Kntii,-. -hould be -.cut to John
A. Eingold. 75 Perin building, and where
exhibitors cannot attend, tin- club will
see that careful attention is given all ex-
hibits.

For best general display of plants or
cut flowers premiums of $150, $100, $75
and $50 are offered. For best display of
roses, not less than 100 blooms, the
awards are $15. $10 and $5. The best
vases or displays of carnations, not less
than 400 blooms each, will receive $12.
$8 and $5. The three premiums for
gladioli are $15. $10 and $5. For asters,
not less than 300 in the display, $15, $10

Bulbs of Lilium Harrisii x L. Longiflorum Grown from Seed within Ten Months.

and $5 are offered, with premiums of the

s; amount for tin' best vase or display

of lilies and the best vase or display of
dahlias.

A second exhibition is to be held on
September 17, to be table decorations ex-
clusively. The tables are to be of not
more than 150 square feet and the three
premiums are to be $200. $150 and $100
respectively.' This should serve to call
out sharp competition.

NEW POT HOLDER.

H. C. Chessman, of Chessman &. Schep-
man, and secretary of the Florists' Club
of Bichmond, Ind., has applied for a pat-
ent on a new pot holder or plant stand.
The device consists of a double corru-
gated wire standard, with sufficient an
chorage to- hold the support in a firm
and upright position when placed in the
bench. On this upright are placed at. in-
tervals a corrugated ring so constructed
that it can be adjusted to any desired
height, and when so placed is firmly held
at right angles with the standard. The
corrugated ring is cut opposite the stan-
dard and provided with hooks and loops,
so that the ring can be adjusted to any
desired size, thus accommodating itself
to the plants when small, and as they
grow larger the ring can be made larger
to correspond. The hooks or loops are so
constructed that when properly placed
and locked they cannot come apart until
released and unlocked, which can be done
in an instant. The above invention is
really two in one, as the corrugated rings
are also used as a pot holder and can be
adjusted to any desired size of pot, thus
converting any pot plant, into a hanging
basket. A. hangei is provided that hooks
into the ring and when properly placed
the more weight there i- on the hanger
the tighter the ring becomes locked.

SUBSTITUTE FOR GLASS.

A firm at Jacks,,,). Mich., styled the
flexible (llass Manufacturing Co.. of
which D. P. Sagendorph, an attorney, i-
diie.lor. has secured a patent on a ma-
terial which is offered as a substitute for
e|a-s. If substitute it should prove to
be, it will till a long felt want, for the
material is cheap ami practically un-
breakable. It looks much like mica hut
is flexible like celluloid or rubber and
does not crack or even crease when fold-
ed. Thin samples would seem to show

that if it will not admit as much light
as glass, the lightness will permit of a
considerable reduction of shade by reduc-
ing the number of sash bars required.
The sheets are impervious to water, but
when stretched tight might be punctured
by hail or stones. "The apparent difficulty
t,', 1,,. overcome after the practical nature
of the material ha- been tested, i- its in-
flammable nature. Arrangements are be-
ing made whereby it is expected that the
••flexible glass" will be on exhibition at
the Milwaukee convention.

HAIL LOSSES.

American window glass manufacturers
claim that French and Belgian glass is
lighter than the glass of home produc-
tion. In this connection J. G. Esler.
secretary of the Hail Association of
America, writes that "'the assessments of
the association are. upon single thick
glass, S cents per hundred square feet,
and G cents per hundred square feet
upon double thick, whether it be French
or American glass. The F. H. A. simply
accepts the standard of quality of the
manufact urer."

The Florists' Hail Association has,
from its organization to date, paid losses
amounting to $57,149.60. Losses paid
since May 1. 1903, were:

A Waretown Outing.

The Florists' Yachting Club went down
to Barnegat Bay last Friday as the
guests of i he genial Commodore John
Westcott. There were about twenty in
t lie party, most of whom remained over
until Monday. A glorious -ale before a
-tilt breeze on the "hay marked the first
day i if the visit. The evening was de-
vuted to "allies, with a lot of noise and
fun*. The" Commodore retaliated for the
inroads made on his sleep by his boyish
guests i\\ bursting into their sleeping
room with a cheei ai t:30 on Saturday
morning. A fishing trip followed, which
everyone enjoyed so much that the shy-
ness of the fish was hardly noticed.
Among the Commodore's guests were W.
IT. Westcott, William Westcott, Robert
Craig, John X. May, Walter 1'. Sheridan,
Samuel s. Pennock, A. B. Cartledge, J.
William Colnesh, Geo. Craig, James
Griffin, Richard Lynex, G, C. Watson, of
Dunham; Robert Kifl, David Rust and
others.

The Fordhook Visit.

W. Atlee Burpee & Co. invited the vis-
iting seedsmen and a lew others from
this city, among them several florists,
to their farm at Fordhook. near Doyles-
town. on June 27, to inspect the trial
grounds. A very large parly left the
Reading Terminal on the special train
at 10:50 a. m., reaching their destina-
tion after a beautiful ride of a little
■over an hour. The party were cordially
welcomed by Messrs. Burpee, Karle ami
Darlington and were most hospitably en-
tertained. The farm of probably L50
acres was in perfect condition, freshly
cultivated, not a weed to be seen any-
where. The order and system displayed
everywhere were remarkable, All the la-
bels were under number. A guide with a
book accompanied each group of visi-
tors to explain the names and history of
the varieties of seeds being tested. The
tour of the farm was absorbingly inter-
esting, a day long to be remembered bj
those fortunate enough to be present.

it were not prices would be pretty low.
There are still some fair carnations
and no glut of the lower grades. There
have seldom been -u.li large receipts of
sweet peas. Everybody lias them by the
unsold thousands and the price is more
dependent on the quantity the buyer will

NURSERY NEWS.

West Chester, Pa. — Hoopes Bro. &
Thomas have had a nice sale on their set
of new hardy climbing roses. The stuck
is in i\. mostlj planted in the open ground
and they expect fine plants by fall.

The New England Association of Park
Superintendents held its fifth annual
meeting at Albany, N. "i .. June 23. Of
ficers were elected as follows: Presi-
dent. G. A. Parker, Hartford. I onn ;

WESTERN PROSPECTS.

A. L. Brooke, president of the Western
Lsso iation of Wholesale Nurserymen,
writes from North Topeka, Kan., as fol-
low - :

Trade during the fall of 1902 was
stronger than at any time previous, at
least for years. Buving for spring of
1903 was brisk. Long prices were of
Eered in some instances for apple and
were refused. The holder afterwards
found his market for these same trees

this spring seemed to be reversed and
the market opened weak, but seemed to

ii.ieiii to use up all the surplus. There
i- no -tuck of : 1 1 1 \ kind held over at this
center of trade. Trade on apple seed-
lings was brisk and all stock found buy-
ers Prices on seedlings foi fall will
advance. Apple will be some lowei than
last season. Other ' stock "ill ranee
about as last year.

CINCINNATI.

The Market.
At last the first real hot

llmw

mam I for funeral work, especially out
door stock.

Roses are about the same as last week
the supply being just about equal to Hi
demand. There are quantities of secom
and third grade roses, especially pin!
ones, bui as a rule thej find a good niai

ket.

ud. The supply is about equal to tl
mand and the quality is very goo.
riiations in the field are iloiiiLt Hi
is season. Some growers report tin

their plants at the present time are as
large as thej were when housed last
year. Plenty of rain and cool weathei
did the business.

Sweet peas are now a glut. The out-
door stock is in full blast and the com-
mission houses are full of them. Longi-
florum lilies are about over in this mar-
ket. A few candidum are still to be had

plumosus i- also procurable. Eastern
ferns arrive in fine shape and have al-
most entirely taken the place of the-
southern or so-called western variety,
which is much coarser.
Notes.
The committee appointed by the aoi
ists' society to net rate- to the S. A. F.
convention', reports that the C. II. .V 1).

pass tnrougn ■ incinnau must see mat,
their ticket read- via the C. 11. & D.,
if they wish to join the Cincinnati partv.
The rate «ill be $14.10 for the round
trip, and sleeper S4 extra. Stop-over
will be allowed at Chicago on returning,
which will give the boys a .bance to
take in Chicago's mammoth establish-
ments.

The outing committee is hustling
things in shape for the picnic ai Coney
Island, Julj 23. Many of the boys an
already practicing for the bowling eon-
tests. Do not forget that the lady mak-
ing the best score during the morning
"ill receive a handsome prize. The tick-
ets are now out and can be had at any
of the whob-alc houses. Don't overlook
the fact that the lb lists do nofreceive
credii for ticket- sold by the Coney Isl-
land company. -.. be -tire to bin you]

The Weekly Florists' Review,

July 2, 1903.

BALTIMORE.

The Market.

Except for outdoor operations, the
weather i- \ci\ favorable for work, the
temperature being moderate and the
days cloudy or rainy. There havi been
frequent light showers and one or two
heavy rains within the past week, but
the weather-wise look now for an early
change and an ensuing hot, dry time,
for there seems to be an equilibrium in
these things, though we do not always
know when the ,\, ],■- begin or end. For
the season the trade in cut flowers is
well maintained. Roso> are Munowliat
overabundant in the poorer grades, but
good ones still sell, and carnations are
not sufficient for the demand, especially
for whites.

The Charles street florists whose con-
stituency is perhap.- largeh made up of
the class who leave the city on the
advent of summer, say the duller season
is already on them, but those who cater
to the stay-at-homes report that there is
as much business as is usual at this time
of the year.

The Market.

I he condition of the market is about
as last reported. Roses are holding firm
and finding a readj sale at from $2 to |(3
per LOO. Carnations bring $1.50 to $2
per LOO, sweet peas 30 to 10 cents per
100, and lilies T"> cents to $1 i«'i dozen.
\'iilli'\ i- Miner .ii 4 cents. Maiden-
hair brings 75 cents to $1 per LOO, and
sinihix 15 cents a string. Boses and
carnations are very ".nod considering the
lateness of the season and the facl thai
many of the growersare i>liiiitin^ and al-
to ili. old stock.

The wholesale men are well sal isfied
with the |iast season and all the retail. u-
who have been interviewed report trade

PITTSBURG.

The Market.
Last week the cut flower business was
very active. The general demand was
for weddings and commencements. I In-
demand for stock was considerably heav-
ier than the Bupply. These conditions
have now changed, and at this writing.
June 30, stock is very plentiful and
quantities of inferior roses and carna-
tions are going to waste.

qualitj of tho ffered is very good.

Sweet pea- and other flowers are arriv-
ing mm in quantities.

The month of dune was a good one
and many retailers report it the best
they have bad for many years.

Lakeview Rose Gardens arc skipping
in some tine Brides and Maids.

skipping trade very good.

MISCELLANEOUS
SEASONABLE HINTS.

Summer with the Palms.
You are sure to have some benches to
spare for the next three months and
now is the time to stock up with young
palms for fall and winter sales. There
has for the past few years been a very
slow sale on palms, but they are sure
to return to favor, and the representa-
tive of the largest palm growing es-
tablishment in the country tells me the
demand this summer is three times what
it was a year ago. Plants that you
have had on your own place for a few
months are far more satisfactory to your
customers than those but recently ar-
rived and potted, and they can also be
bought to advantage just now, as the
growers want the room to shift on and
spread out their stock. Palms large
enough for decorations should also be
procured now. It is a well known fact
that large growers of kentias, arecas and
latanias hurry up the growth of the
plants by heat, shade and moisture.
You can't very well blame them; the
quicker they can produce a good-sized
palm, the more profit for them. But they
are not in condition to take out and be
subjected to a low temperature, perhaps
nearly freezing. So if you need them,
get them now and they will have a few
months to become acclimated.

Palms burn easily, either under poor
glass or when allowed to get dry, so
they are always shaded under glass, but
a heavy shade is not what they really
should have. The ideal shading would
be one that you could apply during the
bright, sunny hours of the day and re-

ve, say, at 4 p. m. and not use at all

on dull, rainy days. Few commercial
florists, however, have such conveniences,
and the belt that they can do is
to have just shade enough on the glass
to keep them from burning, with all the
ventilation possible, day and night.
While we have settled warm weather,
and if the water passes freely through
the soil, it is very unlikely that you
will ever over-water them. Plenty of
syringing is both natural to the palms
and keeps the atmosphere humid.
Plants for Decorating.
Anyone who does many decorations in
churches, halls and other places and for
various occasions is sure to find on his
hands at this time of year, a lot of shop-
worn palms. I don't advocate extrava-
gance, but you all know that a kentia
that has only two perfect leaves left and
four or five that are fringed, tattered
and torn is no longer any credit to your
decorations, and with the best of care
and encouragement to grow it will take
two years before it is a plant fit to use
again, and the room it will occupy and
the labor entailed in its care amount to
far more than the cost of a perfect plant.
Also, there is the upsetting of the "piece
of mind." which by no means "passeth
our understanding," for we know full
well the miserable moments we have en-
dured while looking over some scrubs
that should have been on the fire heap.
So I say, don't hesitate to throw away
what is not going to be of use to you

nit-.

Boarders.

To digress a moment, we are not so
much bothered with the care of sickly,
ruined palms as we used to be, simply be-
cause we -peak out more plainly and
are less afraid of losing a customer.
Still, we are bothered (except the retail
storeman) with requests to take home
a palm for a month or two "to bring it
round." If the palm is in a fair condi-
tion and simply needs shifting, do it
well and charge enough for it. And
there are other cases, as where a family
may be shutting up house for a month
or two and must ask the florist to care
for a few plants until they return.
If they are your customers, you can't
refuse, hut charge enough. For plants
in 5. 6 or 7-inch pots we charge 25 cents
each per month. It's worth all of that.
And for larger plants we charge 25
cents per month for every square foot
of bench surface they occupy. That
would pay first-rate if we had them for
a year, but we don't, and the carting
almost always has to be thrown in.

If a palm is brought to us, or we
call for one that is useless, yet which its
owner thinks only needs our care to
quickly convert it into a "lovely plant,"

Shifting Large Plants.
You »ill also have, as well as
worn-out palms. some good-sized
decorative specimens that are too
good in throw away. If they must
have a shift, you ran do it now. Re-
member that the -mailer the pot or the
lull, tlie more handy when the time conies
1.. lug them around town. When they
need a shift over 10-inch pots, by all
means get them into a neat wooden
lull. The plants do as well in them,
they are light and don't break, and if
painted a dark green, need less hiding
by other greens in your decorations than
the red pots; tubs for all large palms
if you please. It is wonderful how
large a kentia will thrive in a compara-
tively -mall tub. so don't shift unless
you are sure they really need it. In
large plants they will make such a
mass of roots at the bottom of the tub
or pot, that the ball of earth and root
i- raised considerably. Then they need
attention. And in shifting, which in
the case of kentias would not be much
of an increase in diameter, you can
take a sharp hatchet and chop off clean
two inches of the bottom roots: they
will soon make more. You can also do
this with latanias. Arecas are perhaps
the most beautiful of all palms for deco-
rating, although they are not nearly so
good a house palm as the kentia and we
-ell nine kentias to one areea. Y'et for
decoration they are fine. They will not
thrive if cramped at the roots, as you
can cramp a kentia or latania, but when
they get crowded with roots must be
shifted or they will soon have a starved
and yellow look. While on the subject
of shifting, let me go back to the small
plants you may be receiving now. Be

don't, when potting them, get the plants

deeply. Once more about any large

ventilators up and dampen the walks
during the day.

Top the plants as they need it, just
the same as you do those in the field.
Mrs. Lawson will not produce a stem
that is worth considering before Octo-
ber, and so it is energy wasted to allow
it to bloom before then. Some other
varieties will throw longer stems, and
these may be allowed to bloom as soon
as vou have a fair sized plant, bul get
your plant first and the bloom will
surely follow.

I do not. like putting on supports this
earlv. nor do I think it at all necessary
if you lock after the topping propel ly.
Every plant ought to be able to stand
up straight while there are no blooming
shoots, and it will. too. if you top it
before the -hoots become long enough
to lie over of their own weight. If yen
do want to put on supports, 1 would
advise usiiej some kind of a wire sup
port. There will yet be needed much
weeding, stirring and mulching, and
other work, and you can get bet i

ers use these to support the body of the
plant and the string n esh to stipporl
the flower stems during winter, and it
is not a bad way, either.

If any of the plants die out from
stem-rot, or some other disease, burn
them up as soon as you see them. Re-
move the soil they were planted in and
refill with fresh soil bef( re yi a set as-
other plant, of which you of course,
saved some after you finished planting.
Do not syringe the plants in the eve-
ning, as that will bring on rust; in fact,
any time when they would not dry off
readily it is ill advised to syringe them.

Lime in Bench Sod.

The value of lime, when intelligently
employed, can hardly be overestimated.
If we could afford to have our soil an-
alyzed, the matter of soil preparation,
as regards the proportion of fertilizing
elements to be added, would perhaps
be much simplified; but even then I
question tbe advantage, as constant
changes take place in the soil, both
ehemidally and mechanically, as soon as
the plants are benched. This would re-
quire an analysis at frequent intervals,
causing much extra labor.

Looking into the lime question, we
find that it has the property of correct-
ing acidity of the soil which may per-
chance occur from the frequent water-
ing necessary in housing early. It has
also the property of rendering stiff soil
more friable, as well as making sandy
-oil more compact, and from this fact I
am inclined to the opinion that where we
see equally well grown plants in heavy,
clayey or light, sandy soils, it is due
to the presence or addition of lime.

When a plant affected by stem-rot

i es at the l.l-t -tai!r of I lie di-casc.

or what I call the point of contauion.
there is present in the -tern at the rot-
ting point a condition of acidity which
can be easiiv proved by test with blue
litmus paper. Whether this acidity has
anything to do with the spreading of the

disease . I an I prepared to state, but

the prompt removal oi such plant- and
tbe immediate use of lime as advised
in my notes of last week, has in my
experience proved an advantage both in
field and bench. It- greatest value in
the bench is its effect on latent or un-
available nitrogen, potash and phosphor-
ic acid present in the soil. It- action
hastens the digestion or transformation

of these ingredients into a form easily
taken up by the plants.

Some soils contain more lime than
others, but with the addition of the
various fertilizers we employ and its
confinement under glass, heated and
watered artificially, the use of lime be-
comes practically an absolute necessity
for the production of up-to-date -lock.
I use the ordinal}- air-slaked lime, sprink-
ling a light coat over the soil as soon as
a bench is filled, afterwards raking it
in thoroughly. I would advise using a
less quantity on sandy than on heavy

If you have not already shaded your
houses preparatory to planting in, try
the plan of using whiting and water
mixed to the consistency of milk and ap-
ply with syringe or brush. It will not
be washed off until you so desire and
then the hose will easily remove it
gradually, which is best for the plants;
it also looks neater and is cleaner than
mud wash besides being more in keep-
ing with present progressive methods.

CHRYSANTHEMUMS.

Novelties.

Some of the new varieties that were
benched early are making very fine
growth, and, from present indications,
some record breaking is under way for
this fall. The cool and moist weather
that we have been experiencing of late
i- very favorable to the rapid growth of
the plants, but it is well to keep the
roots on tbe dry side in such weather,
because a to6 rapid growth is not what
is wanted, but a slower, firmer, harder
growth. Still, we generally get plenty
of sun during July and August, and one
need not worry yet because his plants
are running up long jointed.

It is a striking evidence of the renewed
popularity of the chrysanthemum, from
an exhibition standpoint, that there are
more novelties under trial this year tha"
ever before in the past ten years. It is
always the new things that people crave,
and the man who caters to this craving
is the man who makes the money. We
must keep raising and importing new
varieties anyway, because about two
years seems to be the average life of a
variety nowadays.

Of the novelties disseminated this
spring, Liger, Columbia. Richardson and
Convention Hall are the best looking of
the American varieties. Liger can hard-
ly be called an American, since it was
rai-ed in France, but E. G. Hill .-alls
it an American by adoption, in which
respect it resembles so many of its
growers that we may let it go at that.
I don't know that I ever saw a more
even stand of plants than is a large
batch of this variety at the present time.
Clean, kind and healthy, it looks like
the ideal commercial pink. Columbia
and Richardson, two other new pink-.
are both exceedingly nice, but in growth
they cannot compare with Liger. Ilieh-
ardson is at present a little thin in the
foliage, but will doubtless harden up as
the weather gets hot.

Of the imported novelties F. S. Vallis
is at present one of the best. Ii won
great fame in England last year and if

making a "sky scraper," for it is grow-
ing at the rate of several inches a day.
Personally I do not care for that kind
of variety. Too often the flower lacks
finish and form, but we will not yet
condemn it. Mrs. Geo. Mileham. a love-
ly pink that did nothing much last year,
l- -I far making a vei \ nice growth and
may redeem itself this time. Lord Salis-
bury and Mrs. Thurkell are both making
Hue wood and we have great faith in
them.

Two varieties that are doing nothing
worth -peaking about are Parkside Gem
and Daisy Moore. Still, novelties are a
gamble anyway and they may be doing
better elsewhere. We might get rich if
we had all prizes in our lottery, ami
that would be an unnatural condition
for a florist.

There seem to be complaints from sev-
eral quarters this year that some varie-
ties aie running all to buds, instead of
going up witli a clean, straight shoot.
While this is a nuisance, the plants will,
if treated right, come out of it. In the
case of varieties that are very persist-
ent in bud throwing, the only thing to
do is to cut them right down. Keep the
roots on the dry side until a new growth
appears through the ground, and this
growth will run right along without any
further trouble.

Where the variety is not too badly af-
fected, by keeping the buds closely picked
off and keeping well sprayed with water.
a good growing shoot can eventually be
obtained. Personally I have never had
this trouble to contend with ( saving in
the case of Viviand-Morel. which couldn't
grow kind if it tried), but I have always
argued that it was due to a check the
plants received, either being pot-bound,
or a sudden transition from a warm tem-
perature to a cold one, or else a prema-
ture ripening of the young shoot caused
by lack of water. Right conditions and re-
membering that the mum, like any other
young plant, should be moved along con-
stantly without a check in any form,
will, I believe, obviate troubles of this
kind. Briax Boru.

NAME OF FERN.
I send herewith a specimen frond of
a fern, the name of which I should like
to learn.

The fern frond in question is one of
the adiantums, possibly A. pedatum, but
owing to the fact that the frond is not
entire, a portion of it. having been
broken or cut away, and also because it
is totally without spores, a positive
identification i~ very difficult. There is
frequently a great difference between
the sterile and the fertile fronds of the
same fern, and a specimen for identifi-
cation would better be a full grown fer-
tile frond, for the arrangement of the
spores on the leaf has much to do with
theclassificationof these plants. It would
also be of much assistance to know
something of the history of the plant in
question, as to where it originated and
some of its chief characteristics.

A NEPHROLEPIS.

what value is it to the trade?

Subscriber.

The fern in question is Xephrolepis
cordifolium, also known as N. tuberosa,
and is quite widely distributed through-
out the tropics, not only in the Pacific
region, but also in tropical America. It
is an excellent fern, of free growth and
^ood form, soon making an admirable
pot specimen, but the Boston fern seems
to be more popular, where both have been
offered. Seedlings of N. cordifolium
have been found growing around cycas
stems that were imported from Japan,
thus showing that this fern was suf-
ficiently common there to scatter its
spores freely on the cycas before the lat-
ter were shipped to tins country.

Sufficient, encouragement has not been
given to the florists to compete for
awards in the horticultural department
of our State Fair for a number of years.

not cover cost of material needed for
floral designs, not to mention time and
skill employed in their construction and
transportation.

Treatment of Beauties.

To lay the foundation of youns Beau-
ty stock for fall and winter blooming
the young plants require particular
care and attention during the first two
months after benching. During this
period of growth their wants require

careful studvi

cultural rules can be adhered to. The
attending conditions, such as quality nf
soil, water, aspect and situation of' the

Because of t In— «■ frequent drenchings
the soil will require frequent stirring
in order to keep it open and friable.
If the weather beeoms cloudy and un-
settled, great care will be needed not to
get the foliage too soft, as this may
lead to an attack of black spot. This
car. be obviated to a great extent by
judicious care in watering and ventilat-
ing.

Care in watering consists in a thor-
ough examination of the soil in the
benches before applying the hose, and
watering those spots which are dry be-
fore the general watering, so that the
whole of the bench may be equally moist.
After the bench is satisfactorily wa-
tered the syringe should be applied. Any
effort to perform both of these opera-
tions at one and the same time, as is fre-
quently attempted by the inexperienced
can result in nothing but disaster, as
neither operation can be performed sat-
isfactorily in this manner.

If black spot makes its appearance
the benches should be gone over daily
and all affected leaves picked off and
burned. Neglect or carelessness in this
matter, especially during dark weather,
when the disease spreads most rapidly,
will soon cause a lot of damage if it
does not entirely ruin the stock.

When the young growths have at-
tained a length of fifteen or eighteen
inches, and are forming buds, they
should be cut back, taking off three or
four of the topmost eyes. This will divert
part of the strength into the lower eyes,
causing them to break and form a more
bushy plant.

There being nearly always a demand
for Beauty buds, the temptation to mar-
ket these as early and with as long
steins as possible is frequently the cause
of giving the young plants a stunted
habit, from which it takes them a long
time to recover. Denuding the plant
of so much of its breathing apparatus
causes a check in its growth, the wood
hardens and ripens prematurely and
there it remains till cool weather sets
in. Beauties, to give good results in
winter, should not also be expected to
give a large cut during summer or
early fall. Rtbes.

TROUBLE IN ROSE HOUSE.

Kindly give me information in rela-
tion to a disease or difficulty of some
kind, formed on the buds in my rose
house. The plants are growing nicely.
I have some American Beauties, Brides,
Kaiserins, Maids. Carnots and Perles.
The Beauties' are particularly affected
with a deformity of the bud. The Kais-
erins, 'Brides and Maids do not seem to
be deformed so much, but all have a
fringe of wilted and dry petals as they
come into bloom. I send some samples
under separate cover. W. L.

The specimen buds and leaves give
evidence of having been grown on a
bench with defective drainage. Under
the microscope the buds show that they
have recently been infested with aphis,
some of them containing the bodies of
these insects in their black form. Thrips
also have been at. work. This is what
causes the crumpled appearance of the
Beauty petals. The best remedy at this
season is light and persistent fumigat-
ing early in the morning with tobacco
smoke. " Care in watering and ample
ventilation are also required. For the
mildew which I also observed on the

foliage a remedy will be found in the
Keview of July 2, under reply to L. H.

BEGONIA GLOIRE DE LORRAINE.

H. W. W. recommends cultivators to
pinch out the points of the growth and
afford the plants cold frame treatment,
with a free circulation of air day and
night during the summer and early
autumn. In my experience, I have un-
fortunately found that these begonias
resent such treatment. The constitution
of the plants gets weakened, and they
soon become infested with thrips and
disease. The secret of growing these
plants well is to do so quickly in a
warm moist atmosphere, from the time
the cuttings are put in, until the flower-
ing period. In the first place, procure
healthy cuttings. For very early propaga-
tion, leaves with about an inch of stem
may be dibbled into cocoanut fiber, and
shaded from sunshine: these will soon
emit roots, and each leaf will produce
two or three growths. Insert these when

large enough, as they are better cut-
tings than can be taken from the base
of the old plants during the winter.
Then apply water and plunge the pots
to the rim in cocoanut fiber in a propa-
gating-case, having a bottom heat of
about 75 to SO degrees, in about three
weeks the cuttings will have rooted,
when they may be gradually inured to
a cooler position near the roof glass.

The plants should be shifted on into
three-inch pots before they become pot-
bound, using a compost of three parts
good fibrous loam, one part leaf-soil,
and the remaining part of fine crushed
charcoal and coarse sand. The soil made
use of at the final potting should con-
tain a fair quantity of dried cow-manure
and the loam and charcoal should be
used in a rougher state than in the case
of the earlier potting. Do not pot too
firmly, or the growth will be stunted;
nor use too large pots when repotting,
but afford thorough drainage. Afford
water sparingly until the plants are well
rooted into the fresh soil, then may be
used abundance of stimulants. Clay's
fertilizer, with alternate doses of liquid
cow and sheep manure, and occasional
applications of soot-water, are as good
as any that can be used.

A low span-roofed house or pit. hav-
ing a temperature of about 65 degrees,
allowing the thermometer to run up with
sun-heat, will suit them well ; by closing
the structure early in the afternoon
during summer, very little or no fire heat
will be needed. Freely syringe the plants .
with rain water, and shade them from
strong sunshine. Under such treatment
plants rooted during March and April,
and potted-on to 16 or 24-sized pots, and
kept in such a congenial atmosphere
that not the slightest check to growth is
ever experienced, will by the autumn
produce plants 3 feet in height and 3
feet through. Plants for flowering in
small pots should be propagated during
May and June. I find it more difficult
here to obtain height than width. The
growths should never be stopped, but the
flower buds must be pinched off until the
plants are required to bloom; grown
thus, thrips or mites will never make
their appearance. I have an idea (I .am
aware some readers will say an erroneous
one), but I am writing from close per-
sonal observation and experience, that
these plants and similar subjects, such
as poinsettias for winter-flowering.
grown on this rapid system of cultiva-
tion will keep the plants jn vigorous
growth from first to last, and give them
a strong constitution which will enable
them to survive and last a longer time
in perfection wdien placed in rooms or
in a cold conservatory. It is a question
of constitution, rather than one of af-
fording the plants cool treatment dur-
ing their growing season. — John Flem-

GRAFTING TREE PEONIES.

There are many methods adopted in
the propagation of the tree peony, says
a writer in the Gardening World, but
none prove more satisfactory than that
of grafting, using the herbaceous type
as the stock. The two species best
adapted for stocks are, undoubtedly.
Peony alba and P. officinalis. Those
who intend to propagate their own peo-
nies, and everybody should, should ob-
tain a strong batch of either of the two
above-mentioned species. If old plants
of the herbaceous peony are growing in
the garden they may be divided if only a
few stocks are required, but where a
quantity are to be worked it is better to
sow seed in frames as soon as it is ripe.
The scions being put directly on to the
roots, it is essential to obtain sound,
healthy roots, and therefore careful at-
tention should be given to their prepara-
tion. The soil in which the tubers are
produced should be rich and light in or-
der to induce the production of plump,
fleshy growth. About the first week in
August take up the tubers, and select
the finest pieces for stocks, taking care
to remove all buds that may develop.
The scions should be made from young
shoots that have not flowered. Cut
them off at a joint, and then cut them
to a wedge shape, and having taken a
piece from the tuber, fit in the prepared
scion exactly and carefully, and surround

the union with wax or clay. Be sure to
put in the scion as soon as the wedge is
cut, as if it is allowed to dry even
slightly failure is courted. After the
grafting is complete plant the tubers in
frames, so that the union is just below
the surface. If done carefully the plants
will be fit for removing the following
spring.

AMOUNT OF PIPE.

I have two houses 1Sx52 feet, with no
glass in the side walls, which are four
feet high, f want to grow carnations and
general stock. How many feet of 2-inch
pipe will be required; using a coil boiler
and hot water? The outside tempera-
ture sometimes goes as low as 15 de-

grees below

D. K.

For heating the two houses containing
about 2.2.50 feet of glass exposure, 1,200
lineal feet of 2-inch pipes will be re-
quired, in connection with hot water
heat, for maintaining a 55 degree tem-
perature with the outside temperature
15 degrees below zero.

NEW YORK.

The Market.

The long-delayed hot wave came in
with the club's outing last Wednesday,
and now comes the two weary months of
insufferable humidity and unremunera-
tive business. One might as well yield
cheerfully to the inevitable and be satis-
fied. It was the same last year and
every year since Adam's time, and will
be the same year after year until all of
us join the great majority. There is ab-
solutely nothing but "the departing

steamers and the decrease in population
to relieve the market of its abundant
shipments. The stock sent is excellent
and plentiful, but, as one prominent
wholesaler remarked, "there are no
prices," and "the bottom is knocked out
completely."

The Outing.

The New York Florists' Club's outing
fulfilled all prophesies. The day was
perfect and the affair an unqualified
success. Even the elements were propi-
tious. The day before was wet and the
day after a perfect torrent of rain made
havoc on the picnic grounds, but not a
cloud interferred with the club's festivi-
ties. The attendance was far ahead of
all previous outings, and the athletic
competition was keen, interesting and
well sustained to the very end. Unfor-
tunately there was not time to roll the
ten-frame game for the generous prizes
offered by Mr. Raynor, and doubtless a
special match will be bowled by the club
members for these premiums later in the
season. The dinner was satisfactory, and
the steamer refreshments of every kind
provided by the club committee were
ample and excellent. There was enough
and to spare. The general comment was
to the effect that the club had main-
tained its reputation for generous pro-
vision in every way. The committee
was made up of workers, and many of
them, especially Vice-President Traend-
ly. have given weeks of time to the de-
tails that brought the affair to such a
splendid conclusion. Harry Bunyard
arrived from the west in time to do
grand service, as usual, in the commis-
sary department.

At the present rate of progress an at-
tendance of 500 next rear will have to

The Market.

stock is seldom poorer than at pres-
ent. There are so few good roses that
it is hardly worth while to sort over the
average consignment to get them out.
Beauties are particularly, scarce. On
teas the best goods go out readily on
small shipping orders and the few local
calls, but the top price is $4 to $5 a
hundred and the bulk of the receipts is
sold bv the potful, without counting.
Carnations are overplentiful, and here,
too. the quality is on the down grade.
The selected stock brings a reasonable
price, because there is so little that can
be called good, but the large buyers can
only be interested at from 5 cents to
10 'cents a bunch. Not only are the
flowers very small, but many pinks are
almost devoid of color.

Garden flowers are all too plentiful.
Sweet peas have deteriorated, and are
so abundant that the dump is the only
nutlet for a large part of the receipts.
The peonies are not all gone. Auratum
lilies go slow, perhaps because there are
still so many Easter lilies, and perhaps
because there is very little funeral work.
\ florist and an undertaker were com-
paring notes the other day. and a refer-

There are plenty of greens, including
ferns asparagus, smilax and adiantum.

fact on many items, such as S. A. Nutt
geraniums he was out ten days before
Decoration day. He sold 180.000 pansy-
plants this spring. Mr. Mosbaek dis-
covered a great yet simple truth when
he figured it out that there is no limit
to one's sales if the stock is good
enough, and he grows pansies on that
principle, buying the best strains and
saving much 'of his own seed. He expects
to largely increase his business next

PHILADELPHIA.

The Market.
Summer dullness has settled on our
business. Until the Glorious Fourth
there was activity; since it has been
very quiet. A great quantity of flowers
is coming in, more it is thought than
usual so late in the season. There is no
demand to carry them off, and very
many are wasted, especially sweet peas,
which are now blooming with great free-
dom. Beauties are rather scarce, most
of the growers having stopped cutting
from their old plants. C. W. Cox has
just begun sending S. S. Pennock a few
new crop Beauties, but they are so few,
hardly enough to signify as yet. Kaiser-
ins, Liberties and Meteors are the best
summer blooming roses to be had in
quantity. Carnations are fine for the
season and very plentiful, but there is
little demand, except for white. Valley
is arriving in fair shape, but it sells
slowly. The outdoor flowers hardly
seem to sell at all. Double petunias and
candytuft are used some for funeral
work.

Very little business is done in' this

Bowling.

The fifth series of games was rolled at
the Central alleys last week. Four of
the eighteen competitors, J. P. Haber-
mehl. W. J. Moore. W. Stevens and S.
Dunlap. were absent. The scores were
very close and ran high, nearly all the
competitors securing points. One more
series of three games will be rolled on
neutral alleys this week, which will be
followed by the wind-up on the home
alleys. The following are the scores:

Business was good right up to the last
day and almost the last hour of June,
but July 1 tidd an entirely different
story; everything seemed to stop dead
-till, "nothing doing'' was the general
story and up to the present time there
has been no improvement, and we are
well started on the usual summer dull-
ness. What stock is seen at the whole-
sale houses is poor, the roses open and
small with some mildew. Carnations are
showing the effect of the past few hot
days, but sweet peas are coming in fine
and in large quantities; it is a wonder
where they all go.

The J. M. Gasser Co. has closed the
old store at 101 Euclid avenue, and
moved the force and fixtures into the
other store, at 234 Euclid avenue.

Some very fine Kaiserin roses were
seen last week at the F. R. Williams Co.
store.

Out on the Plymouth and Consho-

ment is an Ericsson hot air engine for
pumping water to a 0,000 gallon tank
from an artesian well 120 feet deep.
Just now there is a fine crop of sweet
peas ami pansies on. the pansies having
remarkably long steins. Mr. Knapper
also expects a nice cut soon from a stock
of roses grown expressly for summer
bloom. Among many novelties, sham-
rocks and Edelweiss are grown. Much of
the stock goes to the Knapper retail
-tore at Fifth and Fail mount avenues,
Philadelphia, but Mr. Knapper also has
a stand at the Market. Twelfth and
Cherry streets. One of Mr. Knapper's
daughters is a forelady at Henry A.
Dreer's.

CONSTRUCTION SPECIALTIES.

The new catalogue of the Lord &Burn-
ham Co., Irvington-on-Hudson, N. Y., is
one of the handsomest of the several ex-
cellent editions put out by that firm. It
has 96 large pages and includes a num-
ber of new specialties as well as new
patterns in heater- and ventilating ap-
paratus. A full line of cast-iron pipe
fittings for calked joints is one of the
additions, also pipe chairs and hangers
for all kind- of greenhouses. This firm
also issues a very attractive catalogue
of greenhouse construction and so ex-
pensive are the two books that it is
found advisable to insure their reaching
the right people by asking that 5 cents
postage for each be sent by the in-
quirer, although as a matter of fact the
postage is 0 cents on the new book. This
is a policy which is being largely adopt-
ed by houses sending out high-class
printed matter and is in line with the
tendency of wholesale plantsmen to
charge for packing stock for shipment.

The Weekly Florists' Review*

July 9, 1903.

ST. LOUIS.

The Market.

The condition of the nil llowcr mar-
ke1 has changed greatly since the last
report. Business with the store men is
verj dull) funeral work being about all
iliat is going on. and all the florists
had i l . • n i \ ol time to spend the glorious
Fourth of July, most of them closing
their stores half a daw Cut flowers of
all kind- have been very plentiful dur-
ing the pasl week, with the exception of
He. nun-. The shortage of long Beauties
was particularly noticeable and only a
few short ones were in. Other roses,
such as Bride, Bridesmaid and Kaiserin,
were in excess of the demand and of
fairly good quality. Golden Gate and

Carnot were also g 1. and Meteor and

Liberty were exceptionally good for the
season. Some good Perle were also in,
but were too soft to sell well.

Carnations were in fair supply, a
great many of them field grown. The
demand for these is always good for the
best stock. Fancies were scarce. There
were a great mam pink carnations in the
market the pasl week. Home grown
stock has the call these warm days and
a great deal of the shipped stuff has
to be dumped, as it does not keep any
length of time. Sweet peas are still
in heavy supply and are not moving
fast since the end of the school closing
and wedding season. The quality is
still very good, but stems are shorter.
The few hot days of the past week
made them suffer somewhat More white
are sold than any other color, as they are
extensively used in funeral work. There
are also some good white asters in the
market, but they are not overplentiful.
Colored stock of these is yet scarce.
Some good valley is in the market.
which has a fairly good call. The best
of this stock comes from A. Berdan.
of Kirkwood. Mo. The market is filled
with out-door stuff, which sells slowly
and at very cheap prices to fill up show
windows. Fine Asparagus plumosus
and Sprengeri sell well and can be had
in extra fine quality.

Notes.

Local growers are now very busy
planting their houses, some having al-
ready finished this work. From the
report there will be no lack of Beau-
ties and other roses the coming sea-
son. The same can be said of carna-
tions. A great many of the best new
varieties will be grown by our local
growers, especially our brothers in Ed-
wardsville, Belleville and Kirkwood.

Mr. Simpkins, of Denver, Col., brother-
in-law to Phil Scott, was in town last
week and called on the trade with Phil's
compliments.

The committees in charge of the picnic
have everything in readiness for the
outing. The invitations have all been

mailed, and should any havi been

overlooked he should let it 'be known
to one of the committee, who will attend
to the matter at once.

Andrew Meyer, Jr., the newly ap-
pointed park superintendent, reports
that he is 28 years old instead of 23,
as stated in the lasi issue of the Re-
view. Mr. Meyer took hold of bis new
office July 1, with plenty of work before
him.

Mrs. Frank M. Ellis and her two
daughters left St. Louis last, week for
■ visit to friend- in the western part
of Missouri, in the mountain-. Frank

is taking a trip among the growers
through Illinois and will pay a visit to
the Chicago boys for a few days.

H. M. Schisler and B. P. Corneli, of
the Schisler-Corneli Seed Co., have re-
turned from Atlantic City, where they
attended the annual meeting of the
American Seed Trade Association. They
report a great time, and are pleased
that the "association has selected St.
Louis as its next meeting place.

In response to an invitation of Wil-
liam Winter, the Florists' Club will hold
its June meeting this week Thursday
in Kirkwood. This meeting will be a
very important one for the members,
ami a big attendance is expected. Talks
on the coming S. A. F. convention and
the annual outing will be in order, and
the nomination of officers will take
place.

BUFFALO.

The bottom dropped out at the end of
last week, just as it was expected to do.
and the Fourth, for which we had a
lovely day, was a floral holiday — the
only day out of the 365 yvhen a "florist
can say that he is sure he won't be want-
ed. I did hear on my wav down town
on Friday afternoon that BUI or Bob or
Hairy was going to keep open, and "if
they do, of course we will have to." I
trust better sense prevailed, and that it
was a close-up all day. There are none
too many holidays, anyway, for the
florists, scarcely one. Six o'clock closing
began on the first. Most of the down-
town stores had more or less patriotic
emblems in their decorations last week.
W. J. Palmer & Son had a well-construct-
ed field gun, about an eight-pounder. It
was made of red and white carnations,
and attracted lots of kids to the window,
but it was not half so pretty or pleasing
as their fine window uptown, filled with
splendid cibotiums. The much-abused
stars and stripes satisfied other retail-
ers. S. A. Anderson has had a splendid
lot of gloxinias in his window for a
week past, and his head man, Mr. Adams,
says they go well. They ought to, for, as
I have often said, they are the very best
of house plants. Jos. Rebstock is get-
ting along well and will soon be out.

We were rather surprised to see
Michael Bloy again so soon. He is man-
ager of the Lyman establishment near
Cleveland. He reports trade good, work
well advanced and prospects very bright.
In fact, he was in the best of spirits,
and when "Mike" is enthusiastic he is
hard to beat.

town la-t week and made his usual pro-

tern round holt.

as there i- no sharp ingle for the roots
to hold to. And. thirdly, in large sizes,
say 5, 6 or 7-inch, the drainage must be
perfect. Harry is all right this time.
The club is 'to meet on Friday of this

week. Picnic, convention and bowling
team are the uppermost subjects. I hope
we do have a bowling team and let the
world see once again how mightily we
can trundle the sphere, as we used to do.
It is not necessary to practice all the
year around; you get stale and weary.
If you are a scientific bowler, one or
two practice games in the year is plenty.
There is good reason to believe that
the old houses, corner of Main and High.
now occupied by Louis II. Rebstock, will
shortly be torn down, and in their place
a tine In id; -tore and office and three or
four up-to-date houses will be built. The
location i- grand, and Louis' ability is
also grand, and when he gets the new
place complete and tunning, why look

PITTSBURG.

Business is holding up very well.
The condition of stock is only ordinary,
and the wholesalers are receiving more
flowers than they know what to do with.
Carnations were offered as low as $5
per 1,000 last Saturday morning. Roses
also sell cheap. Sweet peas are plenti-
ful and the quality is very fine.

Charles Koenig. Pittsburg's largest
bulb forcer, has sold out his entire plant
to Patrick Maier, who will continue on

NURSERY NEWS.

C. W. Ward, of the Cottage Gardens,
reports heavy call for peonies for Sep-
tember delivery. Orders are being

booked lively.

The American Park and Outdoor Art
Association is in session at Buffalo this
week, with a good attendance of those
interested in civic improvement.

Victoria, B. C. — E. L. Cockrell, pro-
prietor of the Invertavish Nursery, is re-
ported missing. Until recently he was
verger of Christ Church cathedral.

E. Runyan, president and manager of
the Elizabeth Nursery Co., Elizabeth, N.
J., is visiting nurseries in Belgium,
France and Holland, picking up stock.

Seymour Nelson, of Chicago, has
drawn plans for the new cemetery at Des
Moines, and is at work on the prelimi-
nary surveys for the improvement of
South Park in the same city.

Wii. A. Peterson, of Chicago, is at
Clifton Springs, N. Y., with Mrs. Peter-
son, going thence to Island Heights, N.
J., for his annual sail, after which he
will visit some of the notable estates in
the east.

Samuel T. Kenyon, the well-known
nurseryman of Portsmouth. 0., died
July 2 as the result of a runaway acci-
dent in which he was injured April 4.
He was born at Sandy Springs, O., De-
cember 24, 1S43.

Olmsted, Bros., Brookline, Mass., have
been given the contract at $4,000 for the
landscape architecture of Grant Park, as
the lake front park at Chicago is now
known and which is to be improved at
an expense of several hundred thousand
dollars.

Prof. Fisher, of the Montana Experi-
ment Station, at Bozeman, recommends
the planting of the elm, oak. white birch,
mountain ash, European larch, and the
white and green ash. among deciduous
trees, and the Colorado blue and Douglas
spruces, among evergreens, to replace
the poplars and cottonwoods.

John W. Duncan, assistant superin-
tendent of the Boston parks, says he has
never seen so many trees and shrubs in-
jured as were winter-killed the past
season Through the whole system such
shrubs as California privet, Cotoneaster

Si nsi and Lonicera fragrantissima

were killed to the ground. The lilacs,
for which the Boston parks are famous,
made a poor showing this spring. Mr.
Duncan lays it to the freeze that came
be i the -w 1 was thoroughly ripened.

ST. LOUIS WORLD'S FAIR.

A visit to the world's fair at St. Louis
at this time, is of interest to the horti-
culturist and landscape gardener, show-
ing what can be done in ornamental
work. An enormous amount of labor has
been performed in clearing the land de-
voted to the exposition, grading down
hills, filling depressions, and creating a
sit. suited to the greatest exposil ii

attempted. Through the courtesy of Prof.
F. W. Taylor, chief of agriculture and
horticulture, and the kindly efforts of J.
H. Hadkinson, in charge of landscape
work on the tract devoted to agriculture
and horticulture, some idea of the great
work in progress in their hands was se-
cured.

Work on the building intended for hor-
ticulture is evidently not yet in progress,
but as fast as the grounds can be turned
over to them by the engineer and grad-
ers, Mr. Hadkinson with a large force of
workmen is planting an immense number
of roses and shrubs on the four acres de-
voted to that work, on the north front of
the building devoted to agriculture. The
ornamentation of this entire tract of for-
ty acres has been turned over to the chief
of the department, F. W. Taylor.

Through his skill in enlisting advertis-
ing competition among the florists and
nurserymen of the country, immense con-
tributions of trees, plants and flowers
are being sent in by the leading nursery-
men and florists of the country. These
trees, plants and shrubs under the care-
ful supervision of J. H. Hadkinson are
planted and cared for at the expense of
the exposition. The nurserymen or flor-
ists contribute trees and plants and pay
the freight on them. We notice that
roses were planted in beds, using from
100 to 500 plants in a single bed; to
mass their bloom and produce desired
effects, they are planted in beds and
borders 1Sx18 inches. A hundred or
several hundred Paul Neyron, or Mag-
na Charta are being planted in single
groups. Beautiful effects will be se-
cured when these come into full bloom.
W. F. Heikes, of Huntsville and Biloxi
contributes over 6,000; more than 50,-
000 plants will be used in this work
about this one building. Other por-
tions of the ground will be suitably
planted and cared for, all at the ex-
pense of the exposition.

To transform vast areas of muddy
clay into grounds of striking beauty re-
quires a vast amount of work, and
gives Mr. Hadkinson ample scope for
his skill in work of this character.
Much has been learned in the handling
of previous expositions. A visit to the
exposition at this time shows as only a
visit can, an idea of the work attempted.
A visit also imparts confidence in the
ability of the manager and workers to
carry out what thev have undertaken.

Lem. W. Bowen, of D. M. Ferry &

growers.

Jas. McHutchison sailed for Europe
on the steamship Motke, leaving New
York July 9.

At present there is a fair demand for
turnip seed, but the expected large de-
mand has not yet materialized.

Louis Goeppinger, of Angers, is on
his annual tour of the United State-.
representing French seed growers.

Theee is a fair acreage of cucumbers
in Nebraska, some replanting having
been done, but the crop will be late.

The potato crop in England and Ire-
land is a flat failure, while that of Scot-
land will not be over 40 per cent of the
expected yield.

Indianapolis now has to be taken
into consideration as an onion set center.
Huntington & Page have over a hundred
acres in sets this year and the crop is
fine.

Theodore Payne, of Los Angeles, Cal.,
formerly with the Germain Seed Co.,
but now in business on his own account
as flower seed grower, passed through
Chicago this week on his way to Eu-
rope.

Some 8,000 trials of various seeds are
being made at Fordhook this year.
There are over 400 trials of sweet peas.
The visit of the seedsmen to Fordhook
June 27 received two-column notices in
the Doylestown newspapers.

The unanimous expression from west-
ern attendants to the seedsmen's conven-
tion at Atlantic City is: "A most suc-
cessful and pleasant meeting; many
thanks to the Philadelphia craftsmen for
the royal entertainments."

The general rise in the wholesale
prices of all the staple garden seeds
does not seem to materially shorten ad-
vance orders. The trade generally real-
izes that seed crops of all kinds are not
likely to be over abundant.

Louisville is four to six weeks earlier
than Chicago on onion sets, and Indian-
apolis ten days to two weeks ahead. In-
spection this week shows the Louisville
crop thick necked and poor ; Indianapolis
fine; Chicago fair quality, but many
fields showing thin spots.

Recent advices from seed growing dis-
tricts in France sav that, owing to un-
favorable weather, "deliveries of 1903
crop of early beets will not be over 50
per cent, celeries from 20 to 30 per cent,
turnips, 25 to 40 per cent, and even this
-mall average is by no means assured.

July 0, 1903.

The Weekly Florists' Review.

249

Thos. J. Wade wishes to call atten-
tion to the fact that the officials in
charge of the government seed distribu-
tion are competent seedsmen, whom he
believes to be friendly to the seed trade.
But has this been questioned? Certainly
the trade does not believe the act of Con-
gress to be friendly.

The warm weather is improving the
general run of seed crops. Peas are
blossoming and some of the extra earlies
are beginning to set. Dwarf beans gen-
erally are showing a good stand. The
green podded sorts, with the exception
of Stringless, so far give the best prom-
ise, some of the wax sorts showing a
trifle thin.

The absence of recent advices on such
important garden seeds as celery, parsley,
carrot, pepper, etc., would indicate that
no serious shortage on deliveries of them
is anticipated. It is yet too early, how-
ever, to say what may develop, as a good
proportion of these seeds come from
European and California sources and re-
liable reports usually arrive late.

Radish seed crops in the Michigan
district are improving. White Vienna
in some instances is going behind. Char-
tier, Cincinnati Market, Woods Frame
and Long Scarlet are up to the average,
but the acreage was shortened by the
sand blow during the early dry spell.
The turnip-shaped sorts are doing fairly
with the exception of Olive Short Leaf.

Late advices from Kentucky are to
the effect that the Kentucky blue grass
crop is estimated about the same as last
year, with prices a little lower; orchard
grass about the same as last year, prices
likely to be as high. The clover pros-
pect is fair; crop doing well. The sea-
son on the whole is unfavorable for
grass seeds. As to onion sets, the crop
prospect at present is fair. No orders
are being booked for future delivery on
account of small acreage and uncertain-
ties as to the outcome of the crop.

Onio?i sets at Louisville are about
ready to harvest. The crop there will
fall much below last year's, and the qual-
ity will not be so uniform. At Indian-
apolis the quality is likely to be uniform,
with a less number of bushels than ex-
pected. Chicago began with a much
shorter acreage than ordinary, and it all
depends upon the weather of the next
two weeks as to what the harvest will
develop. The general opinion is that good
prices must prevail for onion sets, and a
rising market from harvest time on is
looked for.

Philadelphia. — The onion set situa-
tion is really a serious one with the lo-
cal seedsmen. From present indications
the crop cannot be over 25 per cent of
that of 1902. Practically no contracts
were made for 1903 crop delivery and
the farmers who have a few sets in sight.
are fully alive to the situation and re-
fuse offers on yellows at $3 for fall de-
livery. The same is true of turnips and
rutabaga seeds. Farmers whose crops
are not covered by contract talk 25 cents
per pound, but back out when offers are
made to close at this price. Owing to
better weather conditions, the counter
and mail trade of the latter half of
June was very heavy. The demand for
vegetable plants was heavier than in any
previous year.

GRAND RAPIDS.

Excepting a week of excessive heat, we
have had fine weather, warm days and
cool nights. Business has been steady,
without a break, until July 4, and the
growers are still busy with shipping for
the resort trade. It has been the most
prosperous spring the local trade has
ever had. Bedding plants sold out close;
cut flowers were scarce most of the time,
and carnations sold out close all through
June, and at prices unheard of before
for that month, but the weather condi-
tions were favorable for good flowers,
even if they did not yield as many as
might at times have been wished for. Re-
]>l:nitiiig is under way in both roses and
violets.

The florists have held several meetings
in conjunction with the lettuce and veg-
etable growers, with the intention to
form a stock company to buy coal and
other supplies, particularly glass, steam
pipe and fittings. Besides supplying the
florists at cost, a general business is con-
templated with any one who wishes to
patronize the firm. *

several more to plant. Chrysanthemums
are nearly all planted here. Some fine

Is a book of 224 large pages (same size as those
of the Florists' Review j, and contains about 200 ar-
ticles on commercial plants and cultural operations,
each giving " the meat " only, from the personal ex-
perience 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 want to know. The articles
are arranged alphabetically, like those in an ency-
clopaedia, and in an instant one can turn to the sub-
ject upon which light is desired at the moment. The
book is illustrated by over 200 fine half-tone engrav-

The Market.

The hot. dry weather still continues
with no signs of relief. In fact, the
weather prophets say that it will be still
hotter this week, which is not very en-
couraging. Business is now down to a
regular summer basis, and the majority
of stock looks it. There is very little do-
ing with the retail men, but there is
no wood stock going to waste. The
weather has beer so dry that carnations
iu the field are beginning to suffer and
ruin is needed. Sweet "peas are also
showing signs of the dryness and those
that are not treated to the hose quite
frequently will soon be cooked.

The temperature in greenhouses has
about finished roses, and mCst growers
have thrown them oul and have the new
stock well on the way. With others,
though, some fine stock is being cut and
such varieties as Golden Gate. Ivory, La
France and Kaiserin are doing first-
class. Brides and Maids are very poor.
Some fair Meteors are to be had. but
there are very few Liberties. Beauties
are very good and sell well. The supply,
though, is not very large.

Carnations from the north continue
to arrive in good shape and sell very well
and at good prices. Several growers
about here are still cutting some very
good stock in spite of the hot weather.
White carnations are most in demand,
but good red ones find ready sale. Sweet
peas "are a glut. I wish to say that it
is a great mistake to sprinkle them with
water before shipment. This treatment
has been the ruination of thousands
during the past week. Pack them dry
by all means, if you want to get any
returns for your stock.

Notes.

The store men are now having their
troubles trying to make a presentable
window display. Julius Baer had quite
an effective display of various colored
poppies. They were quite a novelty and
very pretty. Pond lilies are also being
used by several stores and are always
attractive, intermingled with ferns.

Max Rudolph is very busy housing his
carnations. He believes in early housing
and claims to get the best results. The
quality of the stock he produces seems
to bear out his views. He is one of the
few growers who has made a success with
Evelina. It is certainly a fine flower
and producer the way he grows it.

Mr. Donnelly, who has been manager
of the Rosebank greenhouses, has re-
signed his position and returned to
Boston. It is his intention to sail for
England shortly and from there to South
Africa, where he will try his luck.

W. Rodgers has gone to Frenchliek
Springs. Ind., to spend a few weeks'
vacation.

H. D. Edwards of Newport. Ky.. left
for Old Point Comfort. He intends to
visit several eastern cities.

The florists' outing is but a little
over two weeks off now, so make your
arransements to come. Date: Thurs-
day, July 23. Place: Coney Island.

A FAULTY INSTALLATION.
We have a house 33x126, one 8x126
and a lean-to 19x1 li. In the wide house
there are three 3-inch hot water flows,
with lj-ineh returns. In the lean-to there
is a 2-inch feed pipe, a coil of li-inch
pipes and a 2-inch return. The flow pipe
from the boiler is a 5-inch, decreasing
as each house is taken off, and the re-
turn increases as it passes from the
lean-to, the narrow house and the wide
house. The lean-to is to the east, and we
call the coils Nos. 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 from

54 West 30th

east to west. There is a rise of three
feet from the top of boiler to end of
flows. The return pipe drops five feet
perpendicularly on entering the boiler
shed. The boiler, a 10-section Magee, is
supposed to have a capacity of '2.975 feet
of radiation. On firing this installation.
using a good grade of soft coal, the only
run which worked was No. 1. in the
lean-to, the return pipe, on leaving the
house, being very nearly as hot as the
flow where it entered. Run No. 2 failed
entirely to heat the returns and Nos.
3. 4 aiid 5 heated the lj-inch coil only
for about 20 feet at the far end of the
house, this when all the flows were so hot
we could hold a hand on them only a
few seconds. There was considerable
pressure on, and no air in the pipes so
far as we know. What do you think i«
the trouble? Could we make the appa-
ratus work by using 2-inch pipes in the
coils? Instead of running the pipes un-
der the benches, should we take our 3-
inch flows at an angle of 45 degrees
until they are 18 inches from the gutters
and then run them upward until at the
far end of the house they are against
the under side of the gutter, then return-
ing to the main with the 2-inch pipes on
the walls or posts? Will the 3-inch flows
supply five 2-inch returns.

D. B.

The slow circulation may be due to a
number of causes which are not indi-
cated in the sketches and description
forwarded. No mention is made of the
grades of the circulating pipes nor the
arrangement of fittings and connections
between the circulating coils and return
mains, whether the coils connect to the
side of the mains at grade or drop to
mains at a lower level and whether they
connect to top or side. These details
may have a close relation to the existing
trouble, and in view of the fact that the
water circulates quickly around coil No.

1 and is hot in the return main until No.

2 coil is reached and backs up coil No. 2
would lead one to look for the cause of
the trouble at some of these points. In
coil No. 2 the flow run of 124 feet of
2-inch pipe is too long to feed the six
lines of lj-ineh pipes. It were better to
make one-third of the pipes in the coils
flows and two-thirds returns. The rear-
rangement proposed would tend to give
better results, but if they will send
sketch and description of the coil con-
nections to the returns and state accu-
rately the direction and extent of the
grades of coil pipes, I will endeavor to
give more detailed advice.

SAN FRANCISCO.

rerv quiet at present,
been one of the dulles
rome tinu-. Most of

.lin- decorations durinjr June, tliat i^

1 ill all we liacl to console us. Funeral

work is chiefly noticeable by it- absence
and the demand for flowers for other
purposes is very poor indeed. Good
loses are scarce. I have not seen any-
thing offered during the last week that
was really first-class. Carnations are
in good supply but the quality is only
fair. Plenty of outside stuff is' seen and
it is bought largely by sidewalk mer-
chants, although some of our first-elass
stores use a good quantify of outdoor
Gen. Jacqueminot roses, which are of
good color and substance, with good stiff
stems.

Notes.

We regret to chronicle the death of
A. J. Johnson, of Astoria. Oregon. Mr.
Johnson was one of the pioneers on this
coast and an authority on forestry. He
conducted a large nursery for many
years and was the first to ship florists'
moss in quantity to San Francisco. This
industry has now assumed large propor-
tions. He was well known to eastern
and European collectors as one of the
most reliable men in the business. Mr.
Johnson was unmarried at the time of

The Weekly Florists' Review.

PORTLAND, ORE.

Tin- mouth of June brought

feast, of roses: The fortunate

w ho were led to the altai . am

,., ,,„

them. Bui everybodj has his own

asequenUy the florists give lit-

■ o1 ion to indooi stoi k of that

kind after June 1. The retail trade for

nth averaged good. Carnations

. large quantities

were used for school commencements.

We will continue to have them until the

middle of August, when we experience

i ur hottest weather.

It. requires very little effort to keep
up an attractive window, as garden
-mh as coreopsis, campanulas.
gaillardias and sweet peas can be had
in great abundance. It might interest
our brother florists in the cast to know
that no refrigerators are used in the
retail stoic- here.

The latest florist to visit us from a
distance was E. G. Hill., of Richmond,
Ind. He traveled from Frisco through
the Sacramento valley, where the heat
was intense. He said' his visit must be
brief, and it was not until we took him
to the top of Willamette Heights, 20,000
feet above sea level, where he said he
could look over into Indiana and see his
mums and carnations doing nicely, that
he could l>e pursuaded to prolong his
stay.

Portland is justly called the rose city.
and Mr. Hill could not have visited us
at a more favorable time. Everybody
has ;l rose show. It. would please the
craft here if Mr. Hill would give his
impression of Portland through the col-
umns of the REVIEW. We have an en-
thusiastic amateur rose society, and
much credit is due its members and the
local press for the extensive cultivation
of the queen of flowers.

Mrs. Frank Crump, of Colorado
Springs, is in Portland, and expects to
i' n ain nit the coast for several weeks.
H. J. M.

Paola, Kax. — Mrs. E. B. Horr has
sold out to a Mr. Bennett.

Sa>-ta Cbuz, Cal.— Miss Jeanette
King, daughter of W. E. King, the flor-
ist, was married June 29 to E. B. Col-
lom, of Los Angeles. The happy couple
have the best wishes of a large circle of
friends.

PIPING.
Have a house 31x50 tee! with threi
even span ridges, and have a quantity
of 2-inch pipe which I wish to use. With
ide wall live feet high, the othet
three, how man> pipes will be needed
to maintain 40 to 15 degrees! Want it

Wl

want to increase the temperature ten
degrees, to about 50 to .">•"> degrees. Will
a 2-ineh or 2'. -inch flow do it?

F. T. W.

As the sketch and description of the
greenhouse sent by F. T. W. do not
clearly indicate whether there is any
glass exposure on the side wall- I ■■.ui-
not advise definitely as to the arrange-
ment of the heating pipe-. In new houses
31x50 feet, he will require one foot of
heating surface to every three and one-
half feet of glass exposure to maintain
40 to 45 degrees. One and six-tenths
lineal feet of 2-inch pipe contain one
square foot of surface. In the old houses
one foot of heating surface to each three
feet of glass exposure will be required
to insure 50 degrees night temperature.
In the 50-foot house when extended to
85 feet one 2-inch flow will comfortably
care for two 2-inch returns. A 4- inch
main should run from the boiler to the
new houses. Henry W. Gibbons.

CAPACITY OF BOILER.

how many feet of 2-inch pipe the boiler
will carry in severe weather, using -team
or hot water. Doubtfll.

The boiler has capacity for heating
about 20,000 square feet of glass to a
temperature of 60 degrees on zero
nights, at five pounds steam pie--uic
using about 3,200 square feet of heat-
ing surface in the heating coils. If hot
water is used the capacity will be about
10.000 square feet of glass in connection
with 10,000 lineal feet of 2-ineh pipe.

Greenhouse Boiler,

OlrA^^lWuriil

Kroeschell Bros. Co., Quakertown, Pa., March io, 1903.

Chicago, 111.

Dear Sirs: — The boiler we purchased from you last fall I believe was the best investment we ever made. It
does the work of two good sized steam boilers. Our coal dealer here says we used one twenty-five ton car-load of
coal less this winter than usual, which is quite an item at the advanced price of coal during the winter. And we
are heating more space than usual. We used all kinds of coal, and I believe if we could have had a good grade of
coal all winter we would have burned still less. I must say we are well pleased.

AN ODD FELLOWS' EMBLEM.

The accompanying ongrav
a photograph of a Moral am
W. E. Kin- East. Santa Cn
the funeral of a member of t
lows' fraternity. The three

ogemenl bj
iz, Cal., for

he Odd rel-
inks are of

stocks, carnations and ferns and are sur-
mounted by a star of carnations fes-
tooned with adiantum ferns. The links
are attached to a wire easel and the
treat incut of the feet of the latter seems
to us to be especially good. The photog-
rapher failed to take in the full length
of the feet. The lilies at the right had
their full length of stem, and they made
an excellent contrast to the campanulas,
asparagus, etc., used at the left. Below
the links but above the lilies is a panel
containing the letters "F. L. T." a
symbol of the order, and the name of
the lodge sending the piece appears on
the ribbon at the right.

Designs of this character are frequent-
ly asked for and nothing will satisfy the
members of fraternal orders except floral
representations of their emblems. Often
the result is grotesque rather than ar-
tistic and it should be the constant effort
of florists to avoid this by a somewhat
free treatment of the subject. In the
arrangement illustrated the emblem is
readily recognized, while rigid lines have
lieen avoided and the graceful treatment
of the easel helps further to relieve the
stiffness of the design.

BACKGROUNDS AND ACCESSORIES.

This is a chapter of "don'ts." Too many
decorative plans do themselves injustice
by their ill settings. It is just as essen-
tial to have harmony between the back-
ground and the floral decoration as to
require a correct blending among the
parts of the decoration itself. Color, of
course, lights and shades, spacing and
union of lines, depth of space and points
of termination, must all be considered in
selecting a plan for a decoration in
front of which a receiving party is to
stand. Suppose it is to be a home wed-
ding. The first essential is to find a
place where the best view can be had
from adjoining rooms. This is the only
thing which should deter the decorator
from selecting the prettiest place in all
the house. Even then it is seldom one
finds a background entirely to his fancy.

A side wall, a corner, a swell window,
mantel, mirror or a lace curtain drapery,
-.ire among the available places. In the
first two, we are apt to run against un-
promising conditions. Too often the
background is a dark, papered wall of
intricate and elaborate design, which dis-
plays green draperies and garlands to no
advantage whatever. Tor most pur
poses, neutral tints in wall decorations
are to be preferred, but not often for
our uses. The soft olive green wall other-
wise so beautiful and desirable throws
a sickly yellow glare over the glossy
smilax foliage.

Most emphatically, in these cases,
<lon't proceed to put up a decoration

without manufacturing a ne
ground. Don't start a new sc
set of line- over the lines of th
nent decoration, unless you fol
elaborate upon the original des
on a wall this is practically in:
The only result of such an attem
be a confusion of short lines wi1
connection and the floral scheme
too. If green is to be used pri
get a good, clear background thl
with the permanent coloring of t
If no suitable material for

is a good framework. It is not necessary
to cover all the wire. It can be gilded
or painted the same color as the foliage
used. Stretch the panel from the pic-
ture moulding to the floor, being careful
to avoid puncturing the front, of the

w Iwork and the plastering, .Much de-

structive w< rk can be sen, ,,„ walls where
tacks and nails have been driven indis-
criminately, where the use of guy wires
from the top and sides of the woodwork
would have saved the surface of the wall.
I.acc curtains are often used as back-

The summer treatment of Meteor,

is ye1 so far different as to require a
few special remarks.

To reap the full advantage of the
growing season thej require very careful
attention as regards ventilation. While
other roses maj thrive and luxuriate in
a temperature which may .vary from 35 to
40 degrees between day and night, and
where the percentage of moisture in the

the buds off until vigorous growth com-
mences

What varieties to plant first is also
nn important question. There is not a
real demand for carnations until
the asters are gone, which means late
September or October, and bj that time
;m to be cutting some blooms.
Some varieties will come into bloom by
that time if the3 are planted by August
20, but sonic ol hers need to be planted
much earlier. Mrs. Lawson will give
longer stems when planted very early.
White Cloud and Lorna will come in by
that time if planted early, while Queen
Louise and Fhua Hill come into bloom
quickly. Dorothj does no1 take near
as long as Ethel Crocker and Crane comes
into good shape quicker than America or
Estelle. Mrs. P. Palmer takes a little
longer, too, to round into form, but
Christmas will usually see it in perfect
condition. However, it you get you]
plants established cm Man benches in
good time you can regulate your crops
easily by pinching back or letting them
come, as the case may be, and so 1 would
advise getting in all your plants early,
and the late bloomers first.

GIGANTIC BAY TREES.

The accompanying illustrations show
what are probably the largest bay trees
in this country. They were imported by
Siebrecht & Son, New York. Thej sold
three pairs of the globular shape, two
pairs of the standard form and ten pairs
of the pyramid form. The illustrations
give a very inadequate idea of the size
of the specimens except by comparison.

height of the trees.

EASTER LILIES FROM SEED.

In his pamphlet on growing Easter
lilies from seed. George W. Oliver says
that there exi-sis i widespread belief
that in raising plants from seed a long

time elapses before they come into
bloom, and it is urged against the seed
method that a certain percentage of the
plants in a batch arc late coming into
flower. It should be remembered, how-
ever, that this is more or less the ease
with all kinds of plants where the meth-
od of vegetative reproduction is sud-
denly changed to that of reproduction
from seed. In all cases this irregularity
of the blooming period lasts only for a
time. But, even were there no possibil-
ities of fixing types Hem seminal repro-
duction, the supposition that this method
of propagation is a drawback because of
late bloomers is erroneous. This point
has been raised against the method
chiefly because it has never been tried
systematically. A batch has been raised
giving only about 75 per cent of bulbs
thai can be depended upon to produce
plants that will open their flowers with-
in, say. a period of ten days; but even
so, with the gain of increased vigor and

duction of a marketable bulb, it will pay

Emasculating and Pollinating.

To raise seedlings of any desired va-
riety of l.ilium longillorum which will
reproduce as nearly as possible the same
characters possessed by the parents, it
is necessary to take precautions against
the possibility of pollen from less desira-
ble forms being deposited upon the stig-
mas of the Mowers selected to bear seed.
In the flower of the Easter lily the an-
thers reach maturity a little in advance
of the period when the stigma is in a
receptive condition. The early ripening
of the pollen and the large size of the
anthers make it easy to remove the sta-
mens at quite an early stage in the life
of the flower.

Emasculation can l>e performed with
a certain degree of safety after the peri-
anth segments expand, but. it is accom-
plished'with greater certainty while the
flower is in the bud stage. When the
operation is performed early it seems to
divert to the pistil the substance which
otherwise would be utilized in the de-
velopment of the stamens. Thus, if the
stamens are allowed to remain and pol-
linate the same flower with its own pol-
len, or that from the flower of another
individual, the resulting capsule of seed
is smaller than that borne by an arti-
liciallv pollinated flower which had pre-
viously been emasculated.

To remove the stamens at an early
stage it is necessary to cut off one or
two divisions of the perianth for at least
one-third of their length. The stamens,
being very large, are then easily removed
with the'aid of a pair of forceps. The
condition of the stigma most favorable
for the reception of the pollen is indi-
cated by its having acquired full size
and by its color changing from a green-
ish wiiite to creamy white. This period
occurs just before the surface of the
stigma is copiously covered with a viscid
secretion. Before the secretion appears
the pollen takes immediate effect. Fe-
cundation, when successful, is indicated
by the rapid withering of the perianth;
also by the ovary, which, in a few clays,
will assume a vertical position instead
of remaining horizontal.

It is of importance that the actual
work of applying pollen from the an-
thers of one flower to the stigma of an-
other is performed during the early part
of the day. choosing a time when the
sun is likely to be unobscured for sev-
eral hours. ' The air should also be dry
and warm. It is not necessary to use
a brush in applying the pollen. With a
pair of forceps an anther may be re-
moved by severing a filament at. about
half an inch below the point of attach-
ment. The pollen grains on a single
anther are sufficient to cover thorough-
ly the surface of the stigma. While held
by the forceps the anther should be
riililicil against the stigma until the lat-
ter is covered with the pollen grains.
This condition is easily observed by the
bright yellow color and copious supply
of pollen.

The pollinated flower should not be
covered with paper bags. These, as a
rule, serve well with other kinds of
(lowers where artificial pollination is re-
sorted to in keeping out insects and pre-
venting pollen being brought by other
agencies, but in the flowers of lilium
they are usually hurtful, because the
atmosphere surrounding the stigma is

279

to a certain extent stagnant on account
of the thick texture of the paper inter-
fering with the free admission of air.
If this condition is present while the
very copious secretion is over the large
stigma, some of the pollen grains decay,
and the result is that a moldy growth
will occur over the entire pollinated sur-
face. Light gauze or cheese-cloth bags
will be found excellent substitutes for
paper hags. There is little probability
of pollen grains being carried about by
a movement of the atmosphere or the vis-
itation of insects, but it is better to
guard against the danger of undesirable
pollen gaining access to the stigma.

In all the varieties the seed vessels
take from eight to ten weeks to reach
maturity. This is indicated by a change
of color from pea-green to a light straw-
colored hue, at first near the apex, then
gradually extending toward the base.
When the basal part changes its color
the seeds are ripe. The seed vessel a I
this stage begins to dehisce, starting at
the apex and splitting into three parts,
each part containing two rows of seed
closely arranged lengthwise. When the
vessels begin to open they should be
gathered and kept in an uncovered re-
ceptacle until most of the moisture in
the walls of the seed vessel has evap-
orated. In a day or two the seeds musi
be removed from the capsules. They arc
then damp to the touch and should noi
be excluded from the air while in this
state, as there is danger of their becom-
ing moldy. They should be spread out
on trays for a day or so to dry. After-
wards they can be kept in jars until
wanted for sowing.

Sowing the Seed.

In places having a similar winter cli-
mate to that of the Bermudas, or where
the minimum temperature docs not fall
below 4."i degrees F., the seedlings may
be raised out of doors without the aid of
greenhouse structures, but with the pro-
tection of sash throughout the germinat-
ing period and until the plants have
made the first three or four leaves.

The plants can be brought to this stage
by the beginning of September and
transferred to convenient distances
apart in beds, where they will make rap-
id growth. The seeds should be sown in
beds in rows from five to six feel wide.
To have the s..il in which the seed i- to

a steady growth, there should be at least
three inches of stable litter and leaves
placed in the bottom of the bed. Loamy
soil, mixed with one-third vegetable hu-
mus, should be placed over the litter to
a depth of at least ~ix in. lies. This

should be well tinned and raked - th.

The seed should be sown quite thickly,
as the seedlings have small, narrow
leaves and occupy but little space until
they are ready for pricking off.

After the surface of the seed bed has
been raked quite smooth the seeds -In. old
be sown evenly over the bed, from six
to ten to each square inch of surface, ac-
cording to the quality of the seed. The
seeds can be pressed' into the soil with
the back part of a spade or a smooth
piece of board and covered with one half
inch of sifted and sterilized -oil com-
posed of loam and leaf soil in equal
parts. The soil, if sterilized, will pre-
vent the disturbance of the surface in
removing weeds. The surface should be
pressed moderately firm and watered
with a fine sprinkler only when the. soil
appears to be on the dry side. The sur-
face of the bed can be kept in excellent

The Market.
The cut flower market is dull and in-

for stock suitable for funeral work. The
quantity of flowers coming into town
continues large. Yen many are wasted.
Especially is this true of sweet peas after

plentiful. So are roses of pretty fair
quality. Asters and dahlias have made
their appearance, rather short in stem

The Weekly Florists' Review.

NEW YORK.

State of Trade.
"The melancholy days have come, the
saddest of t lie year." It is hard to re-
membei that the conditions a twelve-
month ago were the same as now, the
dullness universal and the general busi-
ness on ih.' street the worst ever known.
But it was .-.. and it will be so again.
It seems a- though trade never was so
bad as now, however, and it may safely
be said that it was never worse. Opti-
mistic faces are few and far between.
Wholesalers and retailers alike have
yielded to the inevitable and sails are
trimmed and decks cleared for action in
the early fall. Meantime many have de-
parted for their summer outing at the
seashore and the mountains and lone-
someness prevails in the busy marts
bounded b\ Twenty-sixth and Thirtieth
streets. The supply of outdoor flowers
increases daily. The demand for smilax
and ii-pani"ji- has .eased. Sweet peas
are hen- 03 the million. Imagine 100
bunches selling for a quarter! Asters
are here and selling fairly well. No de-
mand for lily of the valley. Carnations
are abundant, far in excess of require-
ments, and prices last week fell to most
discouraging figures. Many express a
belief that there will be a change for
the better before the end of the week.
Meanwhile, rents continue, expenses are
high, and it would be money in the pock-
ets of the wholesalers if the doors could
be closed and a holiday indulged in until
after the convention.

Convention Matters.
Hard to realize this great annual re-
union is only a month away, and yet,
through the alertness of Pollworth, Hol-
ton and a host of Milwaukee hustlers,
everything is almost in readiness for the
great gathering, which the Cream City
expects to be the largest the society has
ever known. There is good ground for
these anticipations. The desires of the
majority of the members of the society
to visit this wonderful city extend back
to that memorable hour of angelic elo-
quence when the unexpected happened
and the counting of votes took us to the
pretty little town amid the Carolina
hills. After all, ■■whatever is, is best,"
and the pleasure of the present year will
be all the greater for the waiting. More
and more yearly are making the conven-
tion week a holiday trip, and this year
by combining with their Milwaukee visit
a trip through the Great Lakes and a
-week in and around Chicago ana St.
Louis, a delightful inspiration and mem-
ory for a year can be gathered and stored
away to make the coming twelve months
the happiest and most prosperous of your
life. The arrangements for the trip of
the eastern host are about complete and
the attendance promises to be larger
than anticipated. The West Shore ex-
pects to fill two Pullmans fr New

York alone, thus insuring a direct jour-
ney without change of cars, and every
comfort and convenience known to mod-
ern travel.

Mr. Pollworth's suggestion as to an
evening of song and merriment by mem-
bers of the society after the pi- sid. at's
reception meets with general approba-
tion. Nothing could create a greater in-
terest nor serve to foster more rapidly
the friendships and harmony that should
prevail. Everybody wants to hear the
Chicago quintette and Miss Fulmer sing,

and many others of the well known voca-
lists and musicians that the society
claims as its own. No one will leave the
hall while Warren Ewell, Robert Craig
and J. D. Carmody give their orations,
and if Edgar Sanders will sing ''The Lit-
tle Brown Jug" and Edwin Lonsdale "The
Thike of York" and Brother BeneKe will
give some of his far famed recitations,
the programme will be complete.

Various Notes.

The Bermuda and European travel con-
tinues. There has never been a year
when so many of the florists from this
section have gone abroad. Two of the
leading florists of the city are enthusi-
astic yachtsmen and are drinking in
health and happiness with the ocean
breezes and making their handsome
yachts their summer home. James Weir,
of Brooklyn, commodore of the Shelter
Island Yacht Club and formerly vice-
commodore of the Atlantic Yacht Club,
is on his boat, tne "Uncas," with his fam-
ily at Shelter Island. And Alex. McCon-
n.ll live-* in his beautiful yacht, the "Ele-
anor," which is anchored at City Island
harbor. This handsome boat was built
by Inspector Williams and is as complete
and comfortable as money could make it.
Mr. McConnell is a member of the New
Rochelle Yacht Club and a trip with him
on the Sound is not soon forgotten. His
paper to be read at the convention in
Milwaukee on "Modern Methods in Floral
Decoration" will he valuable to the host
of the present generation of florists who
attend. It will he based on over thirty
years of practical experience.

Lecakes & Co. have moved into their
new store on West Twenty ninth street,
formerly occupied by Hicks & ('rawbuck,
where they will have ample room for
their increasing business. They -till re-
tain the basement on Wot Twenty-eighth
street, where they have been so long, and
maintain their stands in the Coogan
building and at the Thirty-fourth street
market. They do an immense business in
galax, ferns and leucothoe .sprays.

The discussion relative to the plant
and flower market will be considered at
the City Hull on Wednesday of this week
and a large number of int. -re-led iMiileii-
ers and plantsmen are expected to be
present.

Recent visitors win- W. W. Lindsay,
of Birmingham. Ala., and \V. Walker
and family, of Louisville, Ky.

The extremely hot wave of last week,
lasting for three days, developed a tem-
perature of over 100 degrees and caused
many deaths and hundreds of prostra-
tions. Cooler weather arrived on Sun-
day and seasonable rains are gladdening
the hearts .-1 the gardeners, for whom the
season has been a strenuous one to date.

C. W. Ward has been ill for several
days but is now convalescing.

J. Austin Siiaw.

PITTSBURG.

The past few days of very ivarai
weather have hurt the quality of stock.
Roses are on the wane. 1 arnations are
still good. Lilies are more plentiful and
sell well. Beauties are the best flowers
obtainable. The supply of outdoor glad-
ioli "is increasing. There is an oversup-
ply of smilax, rather unusual for 11-. as
smilax was very scarce all last season.

The Pittsburg and Allegheny Florists'
and Gardeners' Club expects to send a
large delegation to the S. A. F. conven-
tion at Milwaukee. The committee of

arrangements is E. C. Ludwig and E. C.
Reineman. A rate of $17.40 for the-
round trip has been secured, tickets good
returning August 24.

Wm. Lauch is shipping the Cut Flower
Co. quantities of Scott carnations of
quality hard to beat.

H. P. Joslin was first in the market

"A BRIGHT SPOT."

Are you coming to the convention?
You have but a few weeks to deliberate
on this important question, but you
should not lose a moment's time hesitat-

It is an assured fact that every able-
bodied florist is coming and the florists'
business will be at a standstill all over

ceptionally larsre and our spacious con-

rangements which will take the cares off
your business at least for the time be-
ing. The ladies' day committee will

look after the welfare of the ladies in a
way that will please them. The bowling
committee promises a cool temperature
but a hot time. Tiie Olympia alle/s,
where the bowlers will bold sway, are
perfection. There are twelve alleys, all
under one roof, with plenty of light and
fresh air and sufficient room to accom-
modate a large crowd of spectators.
There will be such a large entrv that

Please stop the advertisements in the

TORONTO.

If we have had it cool this spring we
are now making up for it. Hot weather
lias had its effect on cut flowers gener-
ally. Outdoor stock is coming- in with a
rush ami indoor stuff is going off with
equal celerity. Especially notable are the
great quantities of sweet peas which have
been on the market during the last few
days. The retail men tell us that the
hoi. weather has killed the -ale of cut
flowers and that they are losing more
than they arc selling. Even our great
home-coming festival did not have the
cll'cet of pushing business very much. One
of the features of the event was a floral
parade in connection with the open air
horse show. One of the most elaborately
decorated vehicles was that put up by

W. ,Ta

win

of American Beauties and longiflorum
lilies were used. J. S. Simmons & Suns
captured third prize for delivery wagon
turnout.

H. G. Dillemuth, manager of Dunlop's
store, has gone back to the haunts of his
ehildh 1, near Pittsburg, for vacation.

J. H. Dunlop lias returned home after a
two weeks' trip to New York and the
vicinity.

The Toronto Gardeners' and Florists'
Association is making preparations for
entertaining their brethren when the Ca-
nadian Horticultural Association meets
here. We are certain that everything
that can be done will be done, so far as
Toronto is concerned, to make this the
greatest gathering of the Canadian craft.
In fact, it is hinted that it should be as
big a meeting of florists as was held here
gome years ago when the S. .\. F. met in
Toronto. D. J.

THE HEUCHERAS.

Heuchera sanguinea is known as one
of the easiest plants to accommodate it-
self to the hardy border and is a most
valuable florist's flower, as it may be
used in many ways when cut. In this
connection the following from the Gar-
deners' Chronicle will lie of interest:

The complete revolution in floral fash-
ions that has been experienced during the
last few years has driven many growers
to the verge of despair, as after years
of patient labor, expended in the pro-
duction of massive flowers and striking
effects, fickle fashion has suddenly led
the public to regard them as vulgar;
ami wheic huge flowers were in demand
Eve years ago, the aesthetic taste that
holds the sway today decrees that the
subjects must be light and graceful.
There are. of course. "many plants that
come up to the desired standard of per-
fection at once, hut too many who have
to supply a heavy demand for cut flow-
er-, for dinner tables, etc.. overlook
the heucheras. Being perfectly easy
to manage, there need be no fear of
burdening one-elf with extra work, as
they Unite in the front of any ordinary
herbaceous h< rder; and if protected from
the encroachments of their neighbors,
and given a little liquid manure when
throwing up their (lower-, they will nev-
er fail "to please. One of the best for
general purposes is Heuchera sanguinea
-plemlcns, a brilliant coral-scarlet vari-
ety of the common type. Other good
varieties of sanguinea are grandiflora, a
very useful form, with flowers of a crim-
son-scarlet, and somewhat larger than
those of the other varieties; alba, a pure
white form; and rosea, a variety with

flowers of a soft rose color. Heuchera
macrantha has cream flowers borne on
red stems, and is thus very effective
when cut and mixed with other varie-
ties. H. erubescens is an exceedingly
graceful form, with white flowers pleas-
ingly flushed with pink. H. macro-
phylla anil II. Riehardsoni are grown
chiefly for their foliage; their ruddy
leaves being very effective under arti-
ficial light. By crossing sanguinea with
Riehardsoni. a hybrid has been obtained
that is useful for both flower and foli-
age; it is named bria ides, "the above
an- all quite hardy, and increase rap-
idly; they are also very effective as pot
plants.

HEATING FIVE HOUSES.
Will you kindly tell me which system,
steam or hot water, is the better to heat
live oieeiiliini-e- 15x55 feet, used for bed-
■ ling -lock? Will a return tubular boiler
10 feet long and 42 inches wide heat
these houses? The houses run from
southeast to northwest. How many runs
of pipe will be needed? J. C.F.

For the heating of five greenhouses
each 15x55 feet I would certainly advise
low pressure steam as the best medium.
The boiler mentioned will have capacity
to heat these houses, with a surplus for
doing more than a- many again. The
approximate arrangement of pipes with-
in the houses would be one 2-inch over-
head flow pipe with six lines of 1-inch
pipes for returns. The definite arrange-
ment could better be stated it a sketch
of the houses showing grades of floor
ami arrangement of benches and paths
had accompanied the inquiry.

Dear Sirs:— The boiler we purchased from you last fall I believe was the best investment we ever made. It
does the work of two good sized steam boilers. Our coal dealer here says we used one twenty-five ton car-load of
coal less this winter than usual, which is quite an item at the advanced price of coal during the winter. And we
are heating more space than usual. We used all kinds of coal, and I believe if we could have had a good grade of
coal all winter we would have burned still less. I must say we are well pleased.

Wishing you the best of success, I remain, Yours truly, E. I. Rawlings.

MISCELLANEOUS
SEASONABLE HINTS.

The Aster Beetle.

One of the seasonable visitors of the
midsummer time is the aster bug — prop-
erly, of course, beetle — but the word bug
is sort of a generic name for every in-
sect or worm that attack* the vegetable
kingdom. And further, if you have a
strong and active idea on any subject
your friends say "You have a bug," and
if the ideas are numerous and somewhat
mixed ynu .uc then "bug house." so it's
quite a word. But to the point, or rath-
er the bug. A subscriber, H. A. C, asks
"What remedy is there for destroying
blister beetle, the black bug that destroys
asters, etc., that can be used with no
danger?" I must confess not to know
the aster beetle by the prefix of blister.
We have had some trouble with the beetle
in former years, but this season there is
a full crop and it is doing much damasc.
particularly on Semple's and Yick's
Branching varieties. They seem to go
for them in preference to Boston Market
and Victoria, because they are large
stemmed, meaty and juicy.

It will do no harm to repeat what all
florists should know, yet a few don't,
that there are chewing insects and suck-
ing ditto, and the means to destroy each
are entirely different. Any beetle or
worm that chews the surface of the leaf
can be easily destroyed by poison. Paris
green, London purple, black death, helle-
bore, slug shot and perhaps many other
mixtures will kill the chewers. The suck-
ers, so called, put their beaks through
the surface of the leaf and suck out the
juices of the plant, as do the aphis and
red spider. Poison has no effect on them.
because they don't swallow any of it.
Now, this aster beetle with which we
have the trouble just now, seems to be
half way between' the two. I am open
and glad to receive some expert advice
relative to his extinction. Just let me
say that the beetle we have is about the
size of a small house fly. He flies read-
ily when disturbed and has a little yel-
low spot on each wing and under a mag-
nifying glass is most beautifully marked.
Not being an entomologist, I cannot de-
scribe him further, but like the present
comet, he has two tails and several deli-
cate nose pieces and delicate hair-like
appendages, doubtless most useful when
diving into the stem of the aster. His
attack is mostly on the leading young
growth at the axil of the leaf, where he
just files a hole and then bores into the
stem. That's why I say that this beetle
cannot be classed strictly as either a
chewer or a sucker

Within a few days we have smothered
some aster plants with tobacco dust with
no effect at all. Then we tried Paris
creen and no more beetles have been seen
on the plants. We svrinsed and now we

will give all the plants a sprayim

with

Paris green. The principal thing to ob-
serve is to thoroughly wet the plants
and not to use the solution too strong.
A good sized teaspoonful of the poison to
three gallons of water is strong enough.
If you use it too strong you can easily

burn the aster leaves. Onee more, let's
hear from some large aster grower as to
his method of killing this beautiful little
pest.

Some Useful Plants.

Just a word about a simple little plant
or two. The sweet alyssum, the double,
of course, comes very useful in designs,
and it is a plant that you can grow on
the edge of a carnation bench without
any, or very slight, detriment to the ear-
nations. If you have any old plants in
the house now, put in some cuttings in a
shady, cool house and keep thein well
watered and you will have young plants
to put on the bench by the end of August.

Don't forget some time while the
weather is warm to put in rut tings of
some of the more desirable kinds of al-
ternantheras. A flat three inches deep
and of convenient size, say 24x12 inches,
filled with light, sandy soil, will hold a
lot of them. In a shady place in warm
weather they root like chiekweed, and
the sooner you get them in, the stronger
plants they will be before cold weather
comes and'the better they will endure a
low temperature and rough usage during
winter. Leave them in the flats until
next spring.

It is time to sow pansy seed for those
who grow large quantities and don't pro-
tect them by sash during winter, and I
must confess that the earliest and finest
pansies I saw this spring, about half an
acre of them, had no protection from the
dav the seed was sown, at the end of

and you will have fine, stout plants. It
takes a little longer, but it is more eco-
nomical of seed to sow thinly in drills,
the drills two inches apart. I have noth-
ing to say about the many fine strains
advertised, but be sure to have plenty of
purple and blue and yellow, as people
ask for these in separate colors for filling
vases and beds.

Poinsettias.

Keep on rooting poinsettias. The
plants put in now and for the next
month are just as useful as those rooted
earlier. In fact, cuttings put in the last
of August and early September are just
the thing for pans, and it's all pans that
the people want now as a Christmas
plant. In rooting these, as with chrys-
anthemum cuttings at this season, they
must be soaked twice a day in the sand
it the weather is bright, and have no sun
mi them. With shade and water they
must be kept from wilting, and there is
n.i trouble in rooting them. If you grow
poinsettias just for cutting, by all means
plant them out in six inches or more of
soil, either on a bench or in the ground.
As I have often remarked, it's not al-
ways the low temperature that takes the
leaves off this tropical plant; it's far
oftener that the roots are exhausted.
We had many plants in pots last De-
cember that lost their leaves in a night
temperature of 60 degrees, while a lot
of old plants in a solid bed kept their
foliage green until February and many
rights they were down to 45 degrees.

Young primroses now want the coolest
and at the same time the airiest place
you can give them. A shelf in a shaded
house does very well, or a frame with
the sash shaded and raised a few inches
back and front. Try to get some real
leaf mold when you shift these into 3-
irch pots. It helps them very much, as
it does cyclamen.

Violets.

Perhaps you haven't planted your vio-

July. If sown under shaded glass or
boards the bed is easily kept moist by an
occasional watering, but by this method
the little seedlings quickly draw up.
You can sow them in the broad sun if
you will be sure to keep the bed moist,
and to do this a sprinkling may be nec-
essary four or five times a day. Never
let it" be dry until the plants are well up

lets yet. If so, don't delay if they are in
pots'or flats. Those who still believe in
planting them outdoors for the summer
will, of course, be in no hurry for a
month or two. If you plant on benches
in six inches of soil, you can give them
only that amount of soil, but if you have
the advantage of solid beds you can give
the roots more depth and they will. I

addition to the six or seven inches of
soil which you remove and replenish,
dig down another six inches and work in
a lot of well-rotted manure. The roots

CHRYSANTHEMUMS.

Watering and Syringing.

Planting i- finished with most growers
and the usual routine of work is now in
order. The young plants when they are
established and growing freely will take
lots of water, though at no time should
they have so much that the soil gets
sour and a green scum forms on it. With
some soils that are heavy in texture this
scum forms much more quickly than on
lighter and more porous soil, though it
can be obviated by lightly scratching up
the surface of the beds once a week,
which will keep things sweet and allow
the air to penetrate.

The plants should be sprayed over two
or three times a day during hot weather
and the paths and roof should be sprayed
at the same time, to keep down the tem-
perature. If the weather has been cloudy
for several days, it will be noticed that
the plants will wilt more or less when
the sun comes out again. At such a time
it will pay to syringe frequently, to keep
the foliage from scalding until the plant-
are again accustomed to the bright sun-
light.

Ventilation and Supports.

Always leave the full air on, night as
well as day. Prop the doors open, and if

Running strings up to a wire, strung
along well up over the plants, i- the
method quite generally adopted and it is
a cheap and fairly satisfactory method.
Personally we prefer to use wire stakes,
supporting them by wires running length-
wise of the house, catching the stakes
about half way up. With the stakes tied
to these wire's you have a support that
will not sag with the weight when the
plants get large and heavy, nor will it
get tangled or upset, no matter how
heavy you may syringe. The first cost of
the .stake- is a large item to the average
grower, but once bought they will last
practically for a lifetime if taken care of.

Disbudding.

Many varieties are producing bud-
and these, of course, must be rubbed oil.
When this is done, the plant produces
three or four shoots from the tip, and of
these the best looking shoot may be re-
tained, to continue on, and form the stem.
The others should all be removed. It is
best not to keep the shoot that comes
right next to the bud. as this sometimes
makes a short growth of several joints
and then produces another bud. The sec-
ond shoot will generally make the best
stem, if retained. Do not let the super-
fluous shoots get too long before pinching
them off and pinch them off close; then
the retained shoot comes away clean and
straight, and a slightly thickened joint
is the only indication after the growth
is completed that a bud was produced at
that point.

Side shoots and suckers should be kept
closely removed from the plants. It is
simple work and often neglected, but it
should be remembered that every super-
fluous shoot a plant produces means that
a certain amount of energy has been di-
verted from its proper channel. If this
work is done often it takes little time,
comparatively. The suckers should be
removed as one runs over the bed loosen-
ing the soil and with this, as with any
other job. it pays to keep ahead of your

wirk.

Insects.

Insects are. as usual, putting in an
appearance, and from now on consider-
able watching is necessary to keep every-

you have side or bottom ventilators, and
sit to have them in a chrysanthe-
mum house, leave them open also. The
cool night air is just what the plants
love, as one can tell by the way the leaves
stand out from the stem, and their crisp,
leathery feel to the touch.

Before the plants begin to lay around
they should be supported in some manner
or the stems will get crooked, and it is
a hard job to get them into shape again.

thing in shape. Caterpillars are perhaps
i he wor-t. as they disfigure the foliage so
much. When they are so numerous that
hand picking is too much of a job, Paris
green diluted down to a small teaspoon-
ful in a pail of water may be sprayed on
the undersides of the' leaves. Paris
green is best applied in the evening or
on a dull day, as if applied in the sun-
light it will burn the tender foliage.
Much work can often be avoided if one

keeps a close watch, and where a leaf is
just beginning to get eaten up the young
colony of caterpillars can be removed be-
fore they have scattered over the plant.
There is a green striped bug looking
something like the cucumber beetle that
causes havoc on the young foliage in some
sections. A weak preparation of whale
oil soap sprayed over the tips of the
shoots will make thing- so unpleasant
that this bug will often take his depart-
ure elsewhere. Brian Boru.

CARNATION NOTES-EAST.

Syringing and Watering.

In connection with the housing of
stock, it is well to stud}" the change which
the plants must undergo in getting es-
tablished in their new quarters. Plants
fresh from the field where they have been
subject to heavy rains, dews and more
or less handling in planting have a cer-
tain raw appearance, due to the foliage
lacking that bluish bloom so necessary
to their perfect health.

Syringing and watering play an im-
portant part in reaching the desired end
and these operations must be done intelli-
gently and not in a careless, routine way.
In syringing as a help to the establish-
ment of plants, do not use the amount
or force of water you would to dislodge
red spider, but let it be in the form of
a heavy mist, descending evenly over the
plant. " This leaves undisturbed what
bloom is on the foliage and no plants are
toppled over. Use no more water than
is needed to give the appearance of a
heavy dew having fallen. It is not the
amount of water but the way it is used
that produces the right effect.

The practice of watering a newly-
planted bench to the point of saturation,
or so that water runs through the bot-
tom, is not to be commended any more
than the shifting of plants from 2- inch
to 8-inch pots. Remember the course of
water when applied to soil is not only
downward but by capillary attraction is
carried outward in the natural direction
taken by the roots. Thus it will be seen
it is only the soil immediately surround-
ing the stem of the plant that needs to
be watered, or at most a narrow furrow
across the bench. As soon as signs of
growth appear, the depression or furrow
should be filled in with loose soil from
between the rows.

In the case of varieties known to be
susceptible to stem-rot during this try-
ing period, we have found that when cov-
ering in around the plant with loose soil
it is a good plan to make a furrow be-
tween the rows and water in this only
until the plants are well on their way.

Weather conditions here have some-
what delayed our planting, but those
housed early in July have come along
nicely, especially Enchantress, which with
us has taken hold of the soil very quickly
after benching. Its behavior thus far has
been all that we could ask, but the end
is not yet. Geo. S. Osbor>\

CARNATION NOTES- WEST.

A little experience we had two years
ago, which may be of interest to some
and which may save you some time, hap-
pened about the end of our planting. The
summer had been very dry. as all those
in this vicinity will remember, and many
delayed planting until we might have
some rain to freshen up the plants, which
looked wilted every day. We waited, along

The Weekly Florists' Review*

313

with the rest, for a time, but as it did
not rain one day after another, we decid-
ed to plant our carnations, rain or no
rain. On the suggestion of a friend we
turned the hose into the carnation path
and soaked the ground until it was a
wonder it did not leak through into
China. After it had dried off somewhat
and the plants were nice and fresh, we
began digging and we had all the stock
planted before we had a rain that
amounted to anything. The plants took
hold nicely in the houses and went right
to growing and by winter you would
hardly have known that the summer had
been so dry.

Xow the most interesting part was
that a batch of Ethel Crocker that had
not received the soaking along with the
rest was needed to plant the last bench.
and we decided to find out whether the
soaking was really a help or not. We
got the soil in the bencn in a good moist
condition and the first thing in the morn-
ing, while the plants were yet fresh, we
dug enough to fill the bench. They were,
of course, brought right into the cool
shed and sprinkled and kept covered un-
til they could be planted. You should
have seen those plants! The way they
took hold of that moist soil reminded one
of a half-starved animal, and they were
established in less time than those that
were soaked in the field.

Ever since that time we have preferred
a moderately dry spell just previous to
digging our carnations from the field,
believing that as the growth is more nat-
ural and the roots are less active there
will be less wilting and consequently a
quicker renewal of growth. And in case
of extreme drought, instead of watering
before digging, only dig in the morning
before the plants show signs of wilting.
or in the evening after they straighten
up again. But do not dig while the
plants are in a wilted condition.

I meant to say last week, but forgot
it, that we prefer to mix our bone meal
into the soil a few days or a week before
planting, and give the bed a good water-
ing or two before it is planted. It gives
the bone a chance to become a part of
the soil, and instead of causing the soil
to be dry at planting time, it will be in
shape for the plants to assimilate as soon
as the roots are able to take up food
again. We mix from 25 to 35 pounds
into a bed of 500 square feet and rake it
in well, after which we water and, if
planting is not done within a few days,
we keep the soil in a fair planting con-
dition from that time on by watering
lightly each day.

We use a line stretchedlengthwiseover
the center of the bed to plant by, and a
stick with notches cut into it to regulate
the distance of the plants in the row.
After we have our center row planted
we use our eyes to get the others straight
across the bench as well as lengthwise.
A good planter needs no more, and any
one who needs more than that is not a
good planter, although he may be able
to set the plant into the soil just as per-
fectly as the other. Some growers mark
off the bed like a checkerboard before
planting and, while that may insure
straight rows if the lines are not oblit-
erated, yet we consider it a waste of time
when time is valuable.

There will not be so much dry foliage
on your plants now as there is likely to
be in a month later, and there will be
no need of stopping to pick it off before
planting. You will have plenty of time
a little later. A. F. J. Baue.

WATERING FIELD CARNATIONS.

Much has been written about watering
carnations when in the field, or rather
about not watering them, as it is claimed
that constant or frequent cultivation will
produce good plants, even if there be a
scarcity of rain. The claim is set up
that watering' will induce stem-rot and
therefore should be avoided. I suppose it
will be conceded that cultivation will not
produce moisture. At best, if the culti-
vation be shallow enough, a layer of fine
soil will be secured at the surface which
will prevent rapid evaporation and so aid
in conserving the moisture in the soil. It
also prevents the growth of fungus at or
just below the surface.

Believing, as I do, that stem-rot arises
from the composition of the soil and con-
ditions of the fertilizers used, and not
from moisture. I have always watered my
field carnations as I water them in the
houses, when water is needed, using the
hose to do it, and have never had stem-
rot, either indoors or out. But I am
careful not to use much manure in the
field, and have the ground broken up
at least seven inches deep. Shallow plow-
ing won't do. A sprinkling of wood ashes
I find is a benefit, if it be done just be-
fore cultivation. My soil is high and
well drained and is rather light and in-
clined to be sandv. J. Y. Lambert.

Seasonable Hints.

At this season the grower should keep
a sharp lookout for thrips. so they may
not secure a lodgment among the young
stock. Before the plants begin to bear
a crop these insects give little evidence
of their presence, and it requires a sharp

and trained eye to read tiie signs, but as
soon as the buds l>egin to develop, their
work becomes manifest to even the most
inexperienced.

While infesting all sorts and varieties
of roses, thrips commit their most de-
structive ravages among Beauties, and to
houses containing these the grower should
direct his best efforts and attention.

There are many species of these pests,
some of them natives, and many of them
imported, and they are all inimical to
rose culture under glass. They are all
so nearly alike as to make it hard to dis-
tinguish them, but as their habits are so
much alike, and the methods of treating
them so similar, the grower does not need
to spend his time in determining their
identity.

Prevention being so much better than
cure in this case, rigid precaution against
their increase in. and in proximity to,
rose houses, and their ii
the house among such m
manure, litter, etc.. sho
the whole summer and la
ground near the house- :i
ity of soil piles clear of
the best preventives.

If the weeds have been neglected they
ought to be cut down at once and burned.
It is also a good plan to burn the grass
and ground herbage near the houses dur-
ing a hot spell. Weeds in the houses, on
the paths and underneath the benches,
should be strictly looked after and de-
stroyed, as these afford both feeding
-round and shelter.

During the growing season and while
we are practicing disbudding is the best
time to apply the remedies, as we can use
more radical measures then than we can
apply with either safety or prudence
after we allow a crop to come. The buds

FUMIGATION METHODS.

I have just read an article by Wm.
Scott, in a recent issue of the Review,
and have been very much interested in
hi- description of Mr. Marquisee's
method of burning tobacco dust. We
have given t hi- method a trial for some
months and have found it to lie very
effective in destroying both aphis raid
thrips. It must, however, be systemat-
ically done for we have found that once
these pests get a hold it is hard to rid
the houses of them by this met!, ml. or
in fact, by any method we have tried.

There are a few points in connection
with this method which have not been
touched upon and these may also be of
interest. There is often something
lacking in the dust and we have found
that by moistening the dust slightly with
Rose Leaf, or some other good extract
of tobacco, that the fume- will be more

have not found it necessary to rivet a

this with a hammer, and the extra work
of riveting can he dispensed with.

In connection with both burning and
steaming tobacco stems, the addition

EASTER LILIES IN THE U. S.

In his pamphlet on growing Easter
lilu- from -cc.l. George W. Oliver, the
novel 11 mi 11 1 expert, -ivs that for some
year- efforts have been made to cultivate
the lily in the southeastern states, but it
I, a- not been demonstrated that, with
the methods used, it can be grown to
compete with the foreign product. The
cultivation of the lily in the southern
states 1,;,- evidently been conducted with
a view to producing bulbs which would
ripen in July, or early enough to com-
pete with the Bermuda grown product.
So far, practically nothing has been done
in experimental work with a view to
giving the bulbs the most favorable con-
ditions to develop, leaving out of consid-
eration altogether early ripening for
forcing the following fall. It is the in-
tention of the Department of Agricul-
ture to work with this end in view, not
only in the south, hut in the middle and
northern states and also in the west.
A knowledge of the proper time to plant
the bulbs in the various sections of the
country in order to produce ;, bulb of
maximum size in as short a time a- pos
sible but in a thoroughly ripe condi-
tion before being haivc-ted is most im-
portant and this knowledge is to be
gained only by carefully conducted trials
Every florist who is interested should
experiment in a small way to ascertain
how the bulbs will succeed out of doors
in his section.

soil. During

di\ weather this is found to be an ex-
cellent provision for supplying the grow-
ing roots with moisture until a fresh
supply is received from rains and until
the roots penetrate deeply into the
ground. In trials of this nature the
bulbs should be allowed to stay in the
ground as long as possible after the
tops decay. They should be harvested
just before growth would commence
again, because interference that tends
to cause premature decay near the base
of the bulb provides ready means for the
ingress of fungi and bacteria.

Batches of lilies for experimental
work in ascertaining localities favorable
to the production of bulbs should be
planted late or early, according to the
particular section of the country in
which the experiment is to be conducted.
In the north it may he considered safe
to put them in the ground during the
latter half of September. Farther south
the planting should be delayed so that
there may be no danger of the growth
showing above ground previous to freez-
ing weather.

In the north, as hard freezing weather
approaches, the ground in which the
bulbs are planted should have a heavy
mulch of such a nature as to be easily
removed in spring. The mulch will serve
several purposes; it will help to keep
the soil around the bulb at an equable
temperature and prevent rapid thawing
and freezing at and near the surface of
the soil. Throughout the south, es-
pecially in the districts within the frost
belt, the mulch need not be heavy, and
should consist of half decayed leaves or
very old manure, so that there will ex-
ist no necessity for its removal when
the growths are making their way
through the soil. It should not be ap-
plied too soon, as there is then a danger
of the soil being kept too warm, thus en-
couraging the shoots to push above the
soil before the advent of cold weather.
In all cases a mulch should be spread
over the soil during hot, dry weather.

So far as the requirements of the
lilies are understood, correct conditions
would not be supplied by repeated cul-
tivation between the rows. These con-
ditions could be secured best by a system
of mulching to keep the sun from warm-
ing the soil too much near the surface
or else by the substitution of some kind
of .1 shade crop to protect the soil from
the sun's rays. This crop would, of
course, have to he of such a nature as
not to rob the soil of too much of the
food and moisture necessary for the
growth of the lilies.

Again, the bulbs may be grown in
bed-, a- in the Bermudas, and close
enough together to shade the ground to
a certain extent. In any event, .the cool

and fairh moist condition of the surface
soil is a most essential point to be ob-
served in the cultivation of the lily.
In planting, the depth to which the
bulbs should be placed should range
from four to six inches, according to
the size of one-year-old bulbs.

In this as in every other crop, there
are so many details essential to suc-
cessful cultivation, all differing with the
localities, that the above directions must
be construed merely as suggestions.
Lily farming in the United States is
so new that one must not be discouraged
if at first failure results from treatment
which applied to other crops would mean

ENGLISH MARKET ROSES.

July is generally admitted to be the
month for ruses, and certainly we do ob-
tain our largest supply in the markets
during this month, writes J. B. Riding in
the Gardeners' Magazine, but it must not
be thought for a moment that there is a
special season for these flowers in Covent
Garden. They can be, and are, purchased
there every morning throughout the year.
not by incidental growers, but by a few
large" firms who take them up every
morning. Few pc.pl, ■ realize what this
means, and doubtless would be somewhat
skeptical when thej were told how many
thousands of plant's are required to keep
up this daily supply.

But I am not dealing with this phase
of the subject, but rather with the pop-
ular varieties that one sees in the florists'
windows and in the streets. . These va-
rieties are cultivated in fields in most of
the home counties, Middlesex, Herts, Es-
sex, Surrey, and Kent sending the
largest quantities. This is quite natural,
for the roses grown in these counties can
be gathered bunched, and put on the
market in a very short time, thus en-
suring their freshness, for second-day
ruses always have to be sold cheaper.

Rose growing for market, like all other
sections of commercial gardening, has un-
dergone considerable changes during the
past twenty years, and nowadays the mar-
ket man watches all the new varieties as
they are introduced, and any that are
likely to be useful for the market are
purchased in quantity; in fact, I think it
would be quite safe to say they are the
largest purchasers of new roses at the
present time. The cultivation has also
greatly improved as one result of keen
competition. I remember the time when
a pair of shears was quite good enough
for pruning purposes, and I have also
known a couple of acres operated upon
with a bagging hook, but we should not
meet with such cultivation now, simply
because it pays to do the work better,
and with greater efficiency. There is just
one curious point, however, adopted in
some districts that will strike the rosa-
rian as being strange, that is, the rose
pruning is carried out during the winter
months, at any time when the labor can
be put on to it.

The method of bunching and packing
has also undergone considerable changes.
-At one time all were cut with about four
to six inches of growth, and bunched
tightly in dozens. Now all the best
blooms are sent with long stems, packed
in damp grass, and placed in layers; in
this way they keep almost perfect in
shape, and travel without any bruising.
Magnificent blooms can now be seen in
the market any morning with eighteen
inches of growth, a thing unknown a dec-
ade or so ago. The cheaper trade is also
still catered for. and thousands of bush-

CHANGES IN BANKRUPTCY LAW.

The bankruptcy act of 1898, establish-
ing a uniform system of bankruptcy
throughout the United States, was one of
immen-e importance to the country's com-
mercial interests, and of far-reaching con-
sequences. For five years the country has
been adjusting itself to the new condi-
tions, and the act has been under the
closest judicial scrutiny. Changes and
corrections have been found desirable,
and the past session of congress made
many under the advice of experts.

The bill modifies the existing law in
several important particulars, the prin-
cipal one of which is a provision in re-
gard to preferred creditors. Under the
existing law those who had received pay-
ments from a person who had soon after
been declared a bankrupt could not have
other claims passed without surrendering
the amount received. This provision was
modified so as to allow the creditor to re-
tain the money received unless the previ-
ous payment was fraudulent. This change
is in conformity with a recent decision of
the United States Supreme Court.

Another amendment provides four new
objections to a discharge, intended to
prevent persons from going through bank-
ruptcy, the most important of which are
the giving of false mercantile statement
or the making of a fraudulent transfer of
property. The hill also provides that
it shall be an objection to a discharge
if a voluntary bankrupt seeks to go
through bankruptcy more thai- once in
six years.

\ not Iter amendment provides that the
appointment of a receiver for a corpora-
tion which is insolvent is an act of bank-
ruptcy, entitling the creditors to choose
their own trustee. Another importanl
change is one which gives the federal
courts concurrent jurisdiction of suits to
recover property which has been fraudu-
lently transferred.

Other amendments allow the wives of
bankrupts to testify in the proceedings;
provide for an increase of the fees of ref-
erees and trustees to an average of about
50 per cent over the fees allowed by the
present law. and prohibit the courts' from
allowing greater fees than the law per-
mits in any ease, and add to the list of

debts from which a bankrupt cannot be
relieved by a discharge from bankruptcy.
The new list includes debts to wife and
children, and alimony.

With these amendments, dictated by
wise experience, it is believed that the
United States has a system of bankruptcy
which is most equitable, favoring neither
debtor nor creditor, and is the equal if
not the superior of any bankruptcy law
or system in the world.

DIVISION OF PROFITS, i

The writer has a party who is willing
to furnish capita] sufficient to put up a
modern greenhouse containing about 6,-
0011 square fei-l of glass. On a ten-year
contract, what would be a fair and
equable basis to make a division of the
profits between the capitalist and the
working partner': The latter is to fur-
nish coal. help, stock, make necessary
repairs, market and -ell all stock and to
take entire charge of the plant. Would
be glad of any suggestion on the subject
from any of the readers of the Review.

John I. Raynor started last Saturday
for his annual outing. Mr. Ghormley's
lieutenants, Messrs. Coyle and Baker,
are away for two weeks, and Mr. Miller,
of the Noe forces, is at Pt. Jervis, N. Y.
Mr. Miller, from Sheridan's, will put
on his "coat of tan" during the next two
weeks in Sullivan county, and Mansfield,
of Madison avenue, will try to have a
pleasant time for a month at Point
Pleasant, N. J.

Mackintosh, the Broadway florist, is
rusticating at Long Branch. Last year
he saved a man from drowning as a part
of his summer recreation. This year he
hopes to save a lady. Sullivan county is
a favorite resting place for florists. Miss
Walreich, cashier for Alex. Guttman,
is spending her holidays there.

Various Items.

Mr. and Mrs. Eugene Dailledouze have
the sympathy of their many friends in
the loss of their only daughter, whose
death occurred on July 11, of scarlet
fever. The young lady was only fifteen
years of age and was one of the happiest
and most healthful of the young people
at the club's outing.

The many friends of A. H. Hews, of
Boston, learn with regret of his demise.
He was a man of most charming person-
ality.

The old landmark on Broadway and
Seventy-eighth street, so long occupied
by David Clarke's Sons, has vanished.
No vestige of the greenhouses remains.
Tin- linn is utilizing the old material in
the construction of two new houses on
its property at Fordham Heights and
will ultimately cover a large part of the
two acres there with a modern plant,
the stock from which will find a ready
outlet at the new store on Broadway and
Seventy-fourth streets.

The projected plant and flower market
is still under consideration. Last Wed-
nesday the official board heard argu-
ments in favor of the $250,000 approp-
riation and everything indicates a favor-
able conclusion by "the powers that be."
That every stand in the great building
would be taken is a certainty, and that
a completed enterprise may be an-
nounced before the snow flies is "a con-
summation devoutly to be wished."

The yacht races unfortunately occur
the week of the convention. Some de-
voted water spirits cannot forego the in-
fluence and threaten to cut out the con-
vention in their favor. The opinion of
good horticultural authorities seems to
favor the chances of Sir Thomas. To the
speculative afar off this tip is given
without authority. Ask Davy Mcllis for
particulars.

Convention Matters.

The desire of the St. Louis florists to
entertain the S. A. F. next year will
doubtless be gratified. The majority al-
ways rules, even if it be but a majority
of two. as the Ashevillians demonstrated
in 1902. The desire of the practical for
a convention for "business only" is nat-
ural, but the conventions are becoming
more and more great reunions of old
and new friends, and their real value is
in the opportunities they give for rec-
reation and rest and the inspiration that
comes from the renewal of acquaintances
and the business relations formed. There
will be plenty of time for business at
St. Louis and for the great fair also.

great as was the opposition developed
when the result of the vote was realized.
"Famous City" folks won't be caught
napping again. We all look ahead a
year to our conventions and plan for
them if we can. no matter where thev
are. This Milwaukee gathering will be
a surprise to many. Its trade exhibit
will certainly be "the best ever." The
hotels are up to date and convenient to
exhibition hall, and the majority of
them most reasonable in their rates. The
fare from New York, including special
sleeper all the way through and return,
will cost a lot under $40 by the West
Shore, which has been made the official
route, and which is making special ar-
rangements for its patrons on this occa-
sion, including a practical chaperone
who knows his business.

Preparations are going on quietly by
the leading bowlers, under the coaching
of Messrs. Lang and Traendly, which as-
sures the city a creditable representa-
tion at Milwaukee. The average
strength of the members has been so
well demonstrated in the past that reg-
ular practice for the event is not deemed
necessary.

Visitors.

Among the visitors during the past
week were W. L. Rock and wife, of Kan-
sas City; Julius Neidnagel, Jr., of Ev-
ansville, Ind.; J. K. Farquhar, of Bos-

king, and J. L. Dillon, of Bloomsburg,
Pa. J. Austin Shaw.

ST. LOUIS.

The Market.

There has not been much change in the
market conditions since last report, either
as regards the quality and supply of
stock or the demand. We have had sev-
eral good rains during the past week,
which should do a world of good to out-
door stock. Funeral work has been quite
plentiful all over town, but aside from
this, business is reported as very dull.

Some fairly good stock in roses is in,
Kaiserin and Meteor being in the best
condition. Brides and Maids are the poor-
est, as is usual at this time of the year.
Beauties from the newly planted stock
are in, with short stems, though fair
flowers. There are enough carnations in
to supply the demand ; quality only fair.
White sell the best. Sweet peas are about
over. Very few are coming in and the
stems are short. Asters are not yet over-
plentiful and are not any too good in
quality. White and purple sell the best,
at $1.50 per 100 for the choice. Gladioli
are beginning to be more plentiful and
will soon be seen in large quantities. The
market is stocked with plenty of greens,
such as smilax, asparagus, fancy ferns
and galax. at the usual market prices.

Various Notes.
At Tower Grove Park they have a new,
seedling nymphaea, James Gurney, whose
parents are N. O'Marana and N. Frank
Trelease. It has large bronze leaves, more
fringed than its parents, and large, beau-
tiful pink flowers. Anyone who sees it
can forget all the other varieties. Phil
Gobel, who has charge of the pond, and
James Gurney, the head of the park, arc-
very proud of their new find. Tower

Grove Park is also the home of the grand
new salvia, St. Louis, and the beautiful
Stella Gurney ageratum. The park is
looking better than ever. Mr. Gurney
laid it out in 1863 and has been at its
head ever since. He planted every tree in
the park but three. If able, he will be at
the convention next month to meet his
many friends.

Everybody is talking picnic to-day
(Monday), and if the weather is fine a
record breaking crowd will be present
Thursday at Priester's l'ark. The prizes
are costly and beautiful. Among the
prizes are a beautiful pearl necklace for
the little girls' race, an elegant gold
watch charm, set with a diamond for the
single men's race, a fine ornament for
the married ladies' race, and a silk um-
brella for the ladies' bowling match.
These are the best prizes. By the time
this issue is out the St. Louis florists
will be having a good time.

State Vice-President Charles Juengel,
who has the transportation matter in
hand, has not yet decided by which road
the St. Louis contingent will travel to
Milwaukee. The rate, he says, will be
$13.40 for the round trip. This is the
very best that can be had, all the roads
having the same rate, and it is simply a
matter of choice as to roads. Mr. Juen-
gel says it cannot be definitely stated as
to how many will go until the next meet-
ing of the club. His list to date is twen-
ty-five, including five or six ladies, but
the chances are that we will send in the
neighborhood of thirty or thirty-five. The
present arrangement is for the St. Louis
party to leave Sunday noon, arrive in
Chicago at 7:30 p. m., spend Monday
with our friends in that city and travel
to Milwaukee on their special.

Mr. and Mrs. Carew Sanders did not go
on their western trip last week, as was
stated, owing to the sudden sickness of
Mrs. Sanders, but will start just as soon
as Mrs. Sanders is able to travel.

F. C. Weber has been sick the past
week and not able to attend to business.
Fred will take a short trip to the Springs
this week. He never misses a conven-
tion and hopes to attend this year.

Charles Richter, aged 92, and the old-
est florist in St. Louis, who is now living
out on old Morgan Ford road, is very
sick and his physicians report the chances
for his recovery as very slim. Mr. Rich-
ter has been on the retired list for
the past thirty years.

Bowling.

The bowling club rolled its usual prac-
tice games on Monday night. Carl Beyer
and Will Adels were not able to roll,
owing to late business. Some good
scores were made. The new set of pins
made it hard to get strikes. Kuehn was
iiigh for three games and Beneke for
single game. The convention team, after
next week, will have an extra night for
practice. ( The score:

cept Kaiserin, are a poor lot, and carna-
tions have collapsed the past two weeks.
There should be more of the hybrid per-
petual roses grown — a good, large plant-
ing of Baroness Kothschild, Ulrich Brun-
ner, Paul Neyron, Magna Charta, Ga-
briel Luizet and half a dozen others
but more particularly Ulrich Brunner —
and with attention to disbudding and
good cultivation you could have stems
two feet long of these beautiful flowers,
only you must be up by 5 o'clock in the
morning to cut them before King Sol's
shining face has burst open their petals.
Business is no quieter than we expect.
The passing awayi of old and young
friends is the cause of the heaviest part
of the business.

Convention Matters.
As I did not send you any word last
week, it's rather old news that our club
had a rather well attended meeting.
There was more than the usual interest
shown in the Milwaukee convention.
The route and the railroad to travel by
was left to a committee of which Wil-
liam F. Kasting is chairman. When it
comes to dealing with passenger agents
it takes lots of nerve and diplomacy and
our Billy is blessed with both. There is
no doubt that we shall have a bowling
team at the city that Schlitz made fa-
mous, and Capt. Braik will select his
team. We are to have a picnic before
the convention to work up enthusiasm.
Mr. Keitsch and his committee have full
power to select the spot, but the prevail-
ing sentiment was that we have had
enough of Grand Island for a few years.
I trust the same good crowd will turn
out that we saw last year. Now, boys,
go to the convention. Very few of you
travel. Travel is a great educator, if
not the greatest. Suppose you spend
your little savings on this trip, you
will gain ten times the amount in your
knowledge of the great country in which
we live. It will widen your horoscope
and you will be able to say for years
afterward, "Yes, I know Milwaukee; it's
a great town. I almost fancied I was
in Berlin without the kaiser and the
military." The sidewalks are rather
high above the streets, but after you
have been an hour in the company of
Mr. Whitnall your perceptibility of
grades and levels will have vanished, and
not until you have been steadied up by
the conservative influence of Mr. Poll-
worth will you return to any criticism.
I feel a sort of something that says Mil-
waukee will have a great convention.
There are hundreds of fine men in the
great states of Wisconsin, Minnesota, Il-
linois and Iowa who will be glad to see
and welcome the men from the east and
west. I have no patience with those
men who will tell you they were off on
a fishing excursion that week, and al-
most as bad are those who say they were
too busy. And then again, don't say
that a convention is of no use to you,
that a few "run it." You have just as
much opportunity to be one of the "run-
ners" as anyone else. Its fraternal and
social features are doubtless the most
important and enjoyable to the great
majority, and no harm if it is, but in-
side that it is an organization that has
done much to advance our profession
and guard our interests and it is our
duty to be loyal to this glorious and
good society of the S. A. F. & O. H.

The Weekly Florists' Review.

The Market.

Supplies of stock are at about the
lowest ebb. Very few roses are coming
in and the carnations arc mostly thrown
out preparatory to replanting. As out-
door carnations are not yet largely in
evidence, and asters are only just begin-
ning to make their presence felt, it leaves
the market pretty bare. The demand is
ample to take up all of the better grades
of stock, but thai i- not necessarily say-
in- much. Beauties are very scarce, sev-
eral large growers cutting almost none
at all, and what few there are would be
scarcely identified were it not for the fol-
iage. Some good Kaiserin are offered,
also Meteor and some clean stock from
young plants.

With the decrease in the receipts of
carnations there has come a pronounced
demand for white, and good prices are
obtained wherever the condition of the
stock will warrant. In a few days as-
ters will be in heavily. Gladioli are sell-
ing fairly well and are not in large sup-
ply. Sweet peas are about gone and Har-
risii are not so abundant as a few weeks
ago. There are plenty of auratums.
Galax and cycas leaves are in demand
for hot weather funeral designs.

Various Notes.

Tuesday noon the wholesale district
was alarmed by the heaviest hail storm
in many a day, but a quick resort to the
telephone served to show that no more
than a light shower was falling on the big
greenhouses north of town. Wienhoeber
lost some glass, but no hail fell as far
north as Wittbold's, and on the west and
south sides the storm was within narrow
limits.

Weber Bros, have Meteor roses in the
house the lilies occupied until after
Easter. Ernst Weber is away on a va-
cation.

W. J. Smyth is spending most of his
time at his summer home on Lake Marie.
at Antioch. He has telephone connection
with the store and comes to town only
once or twice a week.

Peter Reinberg recently bought forty
acres of city property just west of Rose
Hill and there are visions of still larger

waukee Monday, buying material for two
carnation houses 2:ix2oi;. Miss Kennedy
accompanied him.

PHILADELPHIA.

The Market.

Business has slightly improved since
last week. There are hardly so many
flowers coming to town and the demand
seems better. The stock of roses has
been reinforced by some really fine
young Beauties. Samuel S. Pennock is
getting some good flowers on fairly long
stems, from Robert Seott & Son, that
bring the top price. Of the other roses,
Kaiserin is the best; a few really fine
flowers may be had. Carnations are be-
coming scarcer, really fine stock being
difficult to obtain. Asters are becoming
more plentiful, but as yet they are small.
Leo Niessen received his first shipment
of tiger lilies on Monday. Lilium au-
ra turn is in evidence. Sweet peas are
on the wane. Valley is hardly up to the
mark. Greens are selling slowly.

Various Notes.

Keller Brothers, of Norristown, Pa.,
makers of flower pots and pans, have
changed their firm into a stock com-
pany, to be known as the Keller Pottery
Company.

George C. Watson, seedsman, has re-
moved from 211 to 259 S. Juniper
street.

Edward Reid left this week for an ex-
tended business trip through the south
and west. He will also visit his home in
Dakota.

Myers & Samtman are beginning to
cut a few nice Beauties from their
young plants. It is understood that they
do not expect to plant Queen of Edgely
this season.

Miss Miles, who so ably conducts the
accounts at the Flower Market, has just
returned from a trip to the Delaware
Water Gap.

Rain caused the postponement of the
baseball game last Saturday.

The street had it that a new assistant

had just been secured at the Flower
Market. This proved, however, to be a
jocose way of saying that Manager
Charles E. Median had welcomed a new
arrival in his family, a little daughter
born on Saturday.

F. & H. Meigenthaler have their place
in unusually fine condition this season.
Their Brides, Maids and Kaiserins, so
successful last year, promise even better
results next winter.

Wm. Graham, formerly with Hugh
Graham, has purchased the seven green-
houses of Julius Reis, at Olney, and is
looking for a suitable store to open for
himself.

George M. Moss is in financial difficul-
ties and his place is closed.

Bowline.

A team average of 102 pins in a series
of twenty-one games rolled on seven dif-
ferent alleys is the proud record of the
bowling team that Philadelphia will send
to Milwaukee next month. The team
will consist of Frank Polites. George M.
Moss, S. Adelberger, Robert Kift. Walter
Yates. Win. Robertson and D. T. Connor,
substitute. Eleven other players en-
tered the competition and all of them
rolled some good games. The contest
was the fairest test that ingenuity could
devise, but, as the schoolboy explained
to his father, ■•Somebody has to be last,"
and they couldn't all be winners.

Phil.

Blufftox. Ixd. — Myers & Co. have
put in a gasoline engine to furnish

Chatjtatjqtja, N. Y— Mrs. H. D. Ir-
win says the season has been very satis-
factory, particularly on bedding plants.
On the Assembly grounds she planted
three large beds of cannas from Conard
& Jones. All bedding plants are looking
fine, with plenty of rain since June 1.

TRADE AND PROSPECTS.

E. W. Kirkpatriek. McKinney, Tex.,
writes: "Stock and trade are rapidly in-
creasing in the southwest. Prices are
also increasing. The season is very favor-
able and the grades promise to be high.
The outlook for trade in both fall and
spring is good; both price and volume
will be increased about 10 per cent."

J. G. Harrison & Sons, Berlin, Md.,
report: "The condition of nursery stock
at this time is all that we could ask for.
While we had it extremely wet in the
early part of the season, later on it was
•dry and at tlii^ time it is quite season-
able. The stock is making most excel-
lent growth. Our principal items plant-
ed last spring were more than three mil-
lion apple grafts and probably about
200.000 apple seedlings and we have more
than a million peach seedlings and a good
stock of cherry, plum and quince. Our
planting of Kicffer pears last spring was
about 200.000. but these have not all
grown; in fact, there has been consider-
able loss all over the country in many
kinds of seedlings and grafts planted and
we look for a scarcity in nursery stock
in certain lines. The prospect for fall
trade looks favorable, although there
have not been many large orders booked
as yet. The feeling seems to be fairly
good all over the country, but a little un-
settled."

SAN FRANCISCO.

The Market.

We have not been bothered by the heat
for several weeks and the chances are
that the cool weather will stay with us.
Flowers are coming in much better of
stem and deeper of color than we have
had the privilege of seeing for some time.
Roses are scarce enough and it will be a
few weeks yet before we have a quantity.
Carnations are good, and cheap as well.
They are selling at about $1.50 per hun-
dred for ordinary sorts and fancy varie-
ties sell at $2 to '$3 per hundred. ' Lilium
longiflorum and valley are plentiful and
good. Business is quiet in all lines ex-

cepl funeral work. Most of our folks
with money to spare are up in the moun-
tains or at the seashore. Quite a few
florists are rusticating, also, and they
have all earned a few weeks' vacation.

Various Notes.

The Pacific Coast Horticultural Soci-
•ty held its annual outing at San Rafael
Park. While the reunion was limited to
members, their families and invited
guests, the attendance was large. The
following constituted the committee of
arrangements: Julius Eppstein, chair-
man; Chas. Baker, F. A. Munro, M.
Borkheim and Max Eisner.

H. M. Sanborn, the well known Oak-
land florist, is on a two weeks' outing in
the northern part of the state, accom-
panied by his daughter, Miss Abbie San-
born.

F. i.uilemann is at present very busy at
his Milbrae nursery. He is budding
about :10.000 roses for next year's trade
ami bis stock is in splendid condition.
His grounds consist of about seventy-five
acres and he carries a general nursery
stock.

We are to have the G. A. E. Encamp-
ment next month and this will stimulate
trade in the line of decorating, but as a
general thing the florists do not have
any particular increase of business in
the stores during any of the big re-
unions of which San Francisco has a
goodly share.

A visit to Sutro Heights, near the
Ocean Beach, shows these popular
grounds in good shape. Many thousands
of plants have been bedded out this
season ami the efi'eet of such a quantity
of blooms is very striking J. T. Mur-
phy is in charge and is one of the
pioneer gardeners of California. He
spent many years as head gardener to
Senator Stanford, founder of Stanford
University, at his mansion on California
street. G.

Murphysboro, III. — Lewis R. Allen
is building a house 19x70 for roses.

Earlville, III. — Charles Hoss. mayor
of Earlville, would like to correspond
with a competent, energetic young green-
house man who would like to go into
business. There is a fine opportunity to
establish a profitable business here.

St. Louis, Mo. — At the World's Fair
work has begun on the Horticulture
building. It will be finished before win-
ter and the conservatories will be used
for lender plant exhibits arriving this
fall. April 30 next is the opening day

Santa Cruz, Cal. — E. Leedham. the
bulb grower, has sold an interest in his
business to Messrs. J. T. Lowry and
Theo. Wust, and it will be continued as
the Leedham Bulb Co. Ten acres of ad-
ditional land will be secured, making six-
teen acres of fine sediment soil for bulb
growing. A new house 30x320 will be
added to the present one. which is
28x150. The company will grow mainly
daffodils, gladioli and dahlias, largely for
the wholesale trade. The gladioli and
dahlias now in bloom show that the col-
lection of varieties has been most wisely
made, and some of Mr. Leedham's seed-
lings are of really great merit.

Philadelphia: — On July 18 this part
of the state was visited by a very heavy
down-pour of rain, accompanied by a high
wind, which did great injury to the to-
mato and fruit crops. Corn looks as
though a roller had passed over it. Many
fine fields of tomatoes had the green
fruit threshed from the vines. Egg plants
likewise suffered. Spinach seed is not
giving more than one-half the expected
yield, rutabagas not more than forty
per cent. We have one thing to encour-
age us, however, and that is the farmer
and market gardener are realizing very
good prices for all their produce. To-
matoes, peas and potatoes have not
brought such uniformly high prices for

ONION CROP PROSPECTS.

The Jerome B. Rice Seed Co., Cam-
bridge, N. Y.. sends out its usual report
on onion seed prospects, from which the
following is summarized:

New York. — Acreage a slight increase
over last year. Drought necessitated
much re-seeding. Maggot doing consid-
erable damage, but except in Orange
county, where there are 1,000 acres of
Red Globes, the conditions are generally
rather more favorable than at this date
last year,

Ohio. — Acreage considerably increased,
Hardin county alone having 700 acres
more than last year. Largely Yellow
Globes. Some loss has occurred, but

crops looking rather better than last
year at same date.

Indiana. — Total acreage about as last
year, about half Red and half Yellow
Globes. Considerable loss by failure to
germinate, floods, wireworms, etc., and
some re-seedin«r necessary. Many stands
thin, but conditions better than a year
ago.

Michigan — Acreage reduced 25 per
cent and crops hardly looking as well as
at this time in 1902/ Conditions in Wis-
consin and Minnesota on a par with last
year, at Chicago a little better, in New
England not so good as a year ago.

BALTIMORE.

Storms of great violence follow each
other every few days, and as a result
outdoor stock does not flourish, although
in the intervals there is delightful
weather. There is general complaint of
the poor quality of the White Cochet
roses, which are the great stand-by in
this section for summer use for design
work. All last week, although the de-
mand was not excessive, the supply of
flowers was not equal to the require-
ments, which were almost exclusively
for funeral purposes. The Elks are in
town this week. Whether it will add
anything to the volume of business re-
mains to be seen.

Various Items.

Mary G. Vincent, the widow of Rich-
ard Vincent, Sr., an old-time florist of
the eastern section of the city, and
mother of Richard Vincent, Jr., the well
known plant grower of White Marsh,
and of Thomas Vincent, the florist on
West Baltimore street, died July 18 at
an advanced age.

Gilbert H. Patterson, who has been
quite ill, is rapidly convalescing. He
has been a pretty regular attendant at
the S. A. F. conventions and. although
well along in years and no longer in
active business, takes a great interest
in all that pertains to the trade. For
many years Mr. Patterson was gardener

to Johns Hopkins, whose estate is now
Clifton Park and who left his millions
to the university and hospital which
bear his name. Mr. Patterson was cel-
ebrated for his skill in grape forcing,
which in his day were a principal prod-
uct on every gentleman's place where
there was a glass structure. Now this
culture seems almost entirely abandoned.

CLEVELAND.

The market reports show about the
same results as last week, the only de-
mand being for funeral work, and not
very much of that. Prices remain about
the same as last reported.

J. W. Wilson has several houses planted
with carnations and is pushing the work
along rapidly. His plants in the field
and those he has already planted are as
fine as any grower could wish for. Mr.
Wilson believes in early planting and it
pays, judging by the quantity and quality
of blooms sent in from his place.

The large brick stack of the F. R. Will-
iams Company seems to be an attraction
for lightning, as it has been struck three
times within the past year, and twice
last month, each time knocking off a
different corner and scattering a few
bricks around on the houses.

Frederick Aul reports his chrysanthem-
ums in fine condition, and he has al-
most finished planting. His carnations
in the field are fine.

Casper Aul is still showing the effect
of his collision with the street car but
thinks he will soon recover the full use
of his leg. His stock looks fine, and
slmws his usual care. E.

We are having a spell of cool, rainy
weather, which has had quite an effect
on the supply of stock. J Jn-i n< — has a--

ties and asters we are able to help our-
selves out very nicely. Carnations are
rather scarce and poor. Roses are some-
what improved and look much better than
a week ago.

The only florists who are really busy
are the ones who are packing valises for
their vacations. The following have al-
ready left the city: John Baldingei and
Win. Hall are at Niagara Falls. George
Marshall is fishing at Conneaut, Ohio.
John Bader and daughter are at Atlantic-
City. Christ Hansen, sale-man for Wm.
Lauch, is at Ocean Beach.

Notes.

■ The Florists' Club picnic, held July 16,
was a success. The attendance was large
and everybody had a good, jolly time.
G. & J. W. Ludwig did nobly; they dosed
up their Allegheny market -land at noon,
which allowed all their employes to at-
tend t he picnic.

H. L. Blind & Bros, are now cutting
some good longiflorum lilies.

Last Wednesday Louis Weigen. a gar-
dener and florist of Murray Hill avenue.
had a narrow escape front burning to
death. Louis had $300 which he kept in
his bureau drawer, and in saving it from
the burning building he was forced to
leap from a window to the ground.

Harry Dillemuth, of Toronto. Ont. is

NEW BEDFORD, MASS.
We have been having all sorts of
weather since last writing, but now it is
all that can be desired. We get showers
enough to keep everything in good shape
and plenty of warm, sunny days. Busi-
ness' has taken a decided drop the past
two weeks. There is. a little funeral work
once in a while, and that is about all.

The Market

There is "something doing" all the time,
so that business is not dead by any
means. Flowers are scarce and each day
finds everything salable closed out. Good
roses are as hard to obtain as at any
time during the year. Very ordinary
stock sells at $4 to* $6 per 100 at whole-
sale, while the retailer still asks $1.50
per dozen, or mid-winter prices. Beau-
ties are particularly scarce. We never
knew the time when the demand for
Beauties was so good in the summer.
Carnations are still of fair quality, but
are decreasing in quantity right along.

Longiflorum and Harrisii lilies come in
very handily for funeral work. Sweet
peas are very late this season and also
scarce. Four dollars per 1,000 is the
present price.

Various Notes.

The growers are busy replanting and
repairing. 'Mums will be more generally
planted than usual, owing to the impetus
given by our little flower show last year.

There are «ot many new buildings be-
ing erected, owing to the high price of

The Market.

The weather continues fine, but rain is
needed badly and outdoor stock is suffer-
ing. Business still holds out very good
for this time of the year. The majority
of the stock goes to make up funeral
work, so white flowers are most in de-
mand. The moderate weather has helped
the quality of stock great h. especially
is it noticeable in roses, which have good
color and larger and more solid buds.
All in all stock of all kinds is scarce.
Of course there is not a great quantity
of stock coming in, but taken all togeth-
er it represents quite a little trade.

Some very good white carnations are.
still to be had and they are nearly al-
ways ordered in advance. Pink ones are
not quite so fortunate, but they nearly
always sell. There is quite a demand
for American Beauties and not nearly
enough to satisfy it. There are no other
red roses to speak of.

Some very good gladioli are now com-
ing in which sell well. Asters will soon
be with us and it looks as if they will
be fine this year. A few of the first arc
already being cut, but they are not very
good. It is yet too soon for the aster
bug to get in its work, but several grow-
ers have met with severe loss through
thrips, which have used up large fields
of them.

Sweet peas are now somewhat scarce
and consequently there is a good demand
for them. Smilax is a little scarce, but
there is plenty of Asparagus plumosus
and Sprengeri; also a fair supply of
adiantum.

Notes.

The month of July is rapidly nearing
a close and business has been very good
so far. The entire past season has been
one of extreme prosperity for the florist,
and now the much needed rest and recre-
ation is near at hand — the trip to the
S. A. F. convention at Milwaukee. It
looks as though there will be quite a
party from this city. Everybody is talk-
ing about it and it's a sure thins that
all those who can possibly get away will
be there.

The Greenhouse Manufacturing Co.,
managed by Mr. Loeber. has discon-
tinued business. Mr. Loeber states that
it was an easy matter to get business,
but the trouble lay with the mills from
which he purchased his supplies. They
seemed unable to turn out the goods.

THE ROSES OF OREGON.
Noticing the request of your Portland

In the tii -t place, it seems to me that

parts of England and central Germany,
where roses grow and luxuriate most
satisfactorily.

Having seen at Benjamin Cant's, in
England, some of as fine La France as
could be desired, I was quite surprised to
find this famous old variety growing and

better than at Mr. Cant's or at any other

imagine that Gruss an Teplitz will be

when it gets disseminated; it. should
prove a fine pillar or porch variety.

Mr. Holman. who is an amateur en-
thusiast, has one of the finest collec-
tions of roses in Portland and it is a
great treat to have the pleasure of in-
specting the large number of all the
latest and best varieties. A great rose
di.-play is being planned in connection
with the Lewis and Clark celebration in
1905; in fact, it is to be the main
feature of the exposition.

It would be well if the florists could
hold our national meeting in Portland
al that time. It would give the profes-

Seasonable Hints.

During this warm weather, and while
we are hkely to have it comparatively
dry also, is the proper season for re-
pairing roofs, etc. A systematic and
thorough going over now will save a
lot of trouble and worry when the cold
fall rains and frosts begin. If the work
is left till September or later it can-
not be done in such an efficient manner,
as the wood is liable to absorb too much
moisture to allow the putty or nias-
tica to take a hold.

Where the roofs are old and the put-
ty rotten, it is sometimes most profitable
t'o strip out the glass, clean and paint
the sash bars and reset. This involves
a little more time and outlay than patch-
ing does, but if the work is done care-
fully the roof will be tight and dry for
a year or two longer, and the better
quality of the cut and the satisfaction
obtained will amply compensate for the
increased outlay, as there are few con-
ditions which prove so unsatisfactory
to a rose grower as a leaky and
draughty roof.

Another and less expensive way to
make an old roof tight is to run either
mastica or soft putty along the sides
of the glass, taking care to fill every
crevice. Soft English putty, with an
addition of one-fifth white lead anu
linseed oil and made thin enough to
run easily from the putty bulb, makes
an excellent and lasting job.

Particular care should be taken to see
that the roofs are tight at the junction
of roof and gutter, as this is where the
cold air is most liable to pour in and
create the conditions most favorable to
the germination of mildew spores.

This class of work is tedious and if
the weather is hot, very tiresome and
trying, and requires patience and care,
and it should be entrusted to none but
careful and painstaking help. Paint-
ing and a general renovating, if neces-
sary, should also be attended to while
the weather is good. Alterations and
repairing of piping, cleaning out boilers
and putting fire boxes in working order
should also have our attention. Ven-
tilators also should be examined and re-
adjusted if necessary.

Having everything in good working
order before the cold weather com-
mences, will simplify the work and re-
duce it to the usual' winter routine with-
out friction. Ribes.

Culture Under Glass.

As soon as your plants are established
and all shade removed, your attention
will be directed towards their culture
under glass. Any attempt at the produc-
tion of flowers should be put aside for
some time if a variety is to be shown at
its best during the period when most in
demand. The object of early housing is
to produce that condition in the plants
whereby they will readily respond to de-
mands made upon them during the win-
ter months; consequently we must handle
them in such a way that no waste of
energy will occur, but rather that more
be added.

In my notes of June 18 my ideas on
size of plants were given. I will further
state that a plant of this size in complet-
ing its growth in the bench gets so firmly
established by blooming time, also gath-

ers unto itself such a supply of energy,
that it is far ahead of one of the same
size housed a month or six weeks later.
By the same size is meant one taken
from the field equal to the size to which
the earlier housed one has grown.

The check received in lifting has the
effect, of inducing buds to form before the
shoots have attained a desirable length
and to allow these buds to develop into
blooms, which arc inacticallv worthless.

d the

and a cluster of weak shoots. So then,
to obtain the best results we must plan
this operation to hit upon the happy
medium.

Go over the beds twice a week, topping
only those shoots on which the buds have
reached a diameter of three-eighths of
an inch, and do not top more than two
shoots on a plant at one time. In about
a month, once a week will answer until
finally, as the blooming time draws near
and the stems grow longer, the operation
will cease.

Each variety must be studied as to its
inclination in producing long shoots, also
judgment must be used by each grower
in meeting his particular needs. Fol-
lowing this system of topping is con-
ducive to the continuous blooming qual-
ity so much desired, while the topping of
every shoot on a plant at one time pro-
duces an opposite effect.

Supports of any kind are best left
off for some time yet, as free access to
the soil should be had in keeping it
broken up. Care must be taken not to
disturb the roots by cultivating too deep-

ly. Any plants showing the least sign
of stem-rot should be removed, together
with a good amount of soil around them.
We pot a quantity of each variety in 5
or 6-inch pots, for use in replanting any
losses. This maintain- an even stand of
plants, which always looks better and
pays better than to allow any vacant
spots in the bench.

CARNATION NOTES-WEST.

Syringing in the House.

The question of how much to syringe
the newly planted carnations, and how
long to keep it up. is of great importance.
You should strive to keep your plafits
in good shape, with just as little syring-
ing as possible and each time you
svriiiL'e vou should use just as little wa-
tei as you can and do the work well.
Mr. Osborn said correctly last week that
you should not shoot the water straight
at the plants. Thnrw it up as high as
the roof will allow, in a Sne spray, and

lei ii col lown in the shape of a mist.

In that way the plants will get the bene-
fit of it and the soil will gradually dry
out enough so that it can be stirred
after a few days, and it should be done
just as soon as it is dry enough. Keep-
ing the soil on the dry side promotes
root action, and the plants should be
watered rather sparingly for a few
weeks, but you must not allow them to
suffer.

I find that the third and fourth days
are usually the most trying on the
plants. After the second day the vitality
stored up in the plant is usually pretty

well used up and the roots, having not
yet taken hold, are made to supply the
plant with nourishment. So it is up to
you to keep the plant fresh by syringing.
Frequent, light syringings are most effec-
tive then. If you get them through the
first four days without much wilting you
i [3 count <>ri good success. After
that time you should gradually diminish
vour -Min'uiiiy a< rapidlv as the plants
will stand it. always noting carefully
that they do not suffer for want of it.

By the end of a week they will usually
be able to get along with only one or
two sprayings a day, and then is when
you should begin to take oil' .-bade. Take
off about, a third al first and if the plants
do not .sutler in a couple of days take
off anothei third, and at the end of a
week you can remove it all. If a rain
should" happen along about the time you
want to begin reducing the shade and it
washes it all oil", don't make the mistake
of thinking that it saved you the job
of taking the shade off. Many a fine
lot of plants has been almost ruined in
that way. The sun comes out after the
rain as strong as ever and the plants are
unable to bear it. You should at once
put back a light shade and then take
that off as the plants become accustomed
to the light.

Watering in the Field.

I read with interest the article written
by Mr. Lambert, which appeared in last
week's issue. He does not agree with
my repeated assertions that frequent cul-
tivation is in most cases preferable to
watering carnations in the field. He also
says that frequent watering or excessive
rains will not cause stem-rot but rather
that the composition of the soil causes it,
etc. Now, as far as the stem-rot is con-
cerned, every carnation grower knows
that he loses many times as many plants
from stem-rot in a wet season as he does
in a dry one, and this alone will prove
that excessive rains or over-watering will
bring it on. I do not claim that the
water makes the fungus or rot, but we
know that so long as the common form
of stem-rot is kept dry it remains inac-
tive, but when it becomes moist it be-
comes active, hence frequent moistening
will be apt to start it into activity, while
only an occasional wetting may not be
enough to do so.

This stem-rot, however, is of far less

importance than is the condition the
growth of your plant- will tie in at lift-
ing time. If you set out good plants early
in May they will make fair-sized plants
by planting time, unless the season is
exceptionally dry, and in, such case a
few good soakings will do more good
than frequent sprinklings. In a moder-
ately dry season the plants will be well
matured and will stand replanting with-
out much suffering, whereas in case of
frequent watering or rain-, the growth
will be soft and transplanting will cause
much suffering. Frequent cultivating
allows the moisture to come up and the
soil does not become so hot that it will
burn the plants, as it will do when al-
lowed to bake.

But if it is large plants that you want,
or blooms in the field, then by all means
supply them with plenty of water.

NOVELTIES FOR J904.

F. Dorner & Sons Co., Lafayette, Ind.,
will distribute two white seedlings next
year. Lady Bountiful and The Belle.
The former is described as a high-grade
commercial variety; large, pure white,
flagrant, a good grower, stem long and
wiry; said to be an exceptional keeper
and shipper; early, free and easy to
propagate. As to The Belle, the orig-
inators say it is the earliest white yet
found among their seedlings, "phenom-
enally so. and not lacking in freedom.
It is bound to supplant that popular
variety, Flora Hill."

The Chicago Carnation Company is to
distribute two Lawson seedlings this sea-
son. Crusader is a scarlet which is said
to do a number of things other carna-
tions cannot be induced to do, among
which is blooming continuously ten
months in the year. It is from Lawson
and Crane, color of the latter, size of the
former. It has good habits, including
tolerance as to temperature, which will
commend it for trial to those who can-
not afford to grow a whole house of a
new variety. Reliance is white, a seed-
ling of Mrs. Higinbotham and a white
sport of Lawson. It has the habit of
Lawson, although the foliage is finer and
the stem more wiry. It needs 52 to 55
degrees to do its best. Mr. Hartshorne
says that if it were not that they ex-
pect to have their hands full in dissemi-

nating Fiancee in 1904-5 they would not
send these two out this season, believing
that it would pay them better to grow
them for cut blooms another year.

WOOD LICE.

H. Schweitzer's Place at Mendota after Tornado, July 17.
■. Schweitzer and Family, (ireenhouses Completely; Destroyed.

I am about to change the soil in my
greenhouse for my new carnations. The
benches need repairing and I thought
you would advise me how to best fight
a certain species of wood louse which
persists in climbing into the beds. I
have been using Paris green and flour
but it does not seem to accomplish
much. I thought you would possibly
advise me as to some preparation 1
could use in strewing around the empty
beds. I think I am right in calling these
insects wood lice. They curl up into a
perfect ball as soon as molested. Is tar
useful in preserving benches?

W. F. B.

The wood lice you complain of are
one of the worst pests we have to get
rid of and. although there are several
ways to fight them, yet I know of no
method by which you can rid your
place of them at a single blow, as it
were. The louse is a ehewer and the
most effective way is to poison him.
We mix sugar ami Paris green and lay
it around on the edge * boards and
wherever he is most likely to find it,
and invariably find a lot of dead ones
the next morning. By repeated appli-
cations you may be able to rid your
place of them, but it will take a long
time to do it. Change off from sugar
to corn meal occasionally. They are
very fond of raw potatoes, and by cut-
ting the potatoes in halves and slightly
hollowing them and laying them around,
the cut side down, the lice will congre-
gate under them and you can catch and
destroy a good many that way. A hot

lime wash on the benches will destroy
those that it comes in contact with, but
that will not be many, and a fumigating
with sulphur will only destroy those
that are out and exposed.

We have had no experience with tar
on greenhouse benches, and so I could
not say whether it would be injurious
to the plants or not, but I imagine that
the odor which arises from it as soon
as it gets warm would do the plants no
good. The fact that it is not used has
led me to think that there must be
some such objection to it. as it is one
of the best wood preservatives I know
of. Carnations and violets especially
would take up the odor and become un-
salable. I have been told that lettuce
grown on benches that were tarred will
taste of it. A. F. J. Baub.

A LITTLE WHITE FLY.

S. W. writes, "Can you tell me of any-
thing that will destroy a little white fly?
They swarm in thousands on pelargoni-
um-', fuchsias and cucumbers."

As the cucumbers are associated with
the greenhouse plants, it is to be pre-
sumed they are all under glass. Tobacco
smoke has doubtless been tried and fount
wanting. Then the hydrocyanic gas will
most assuredly kill them. I noticed the
•other day that someone quoted the eld
formula in the use of this gas, which ne-
cessitates the opening of the sash in half
an hour. As this has to be done from
the outside, it is often most awkward,
and then, again, the five ounces of cya-
nide to 1,000 cubic feet of air space is
pretty strong and I have seen it burn
several different plants.

A safe and easily applied formula is
five ounces of cyanide of potassium, one
quart of sulphuric acid and one quoit of
water. Mix the sulphuric acid and water
in a gallon butter jar. If the jar is even

"VIOLET CULTURE."
There is a sentiment connected with
the violet which causes nearly every
owner of a greenhouse to be not thor-
oughly contented until he has had his
little experience at its culture. Hence
"Commercial Violet Culture," by B. T.
Galloway, is now in its second edition.
In the preface Dr. Galloway says:
"Since the first edition of this little
work was written, four years ago, there
have 1 >< • < ■ 1 1 Mime changes in the methods
of growing violets for market. The
writer has seen a number of formerly
successful growers go out of the busi-
ness and others without any previous
experience succeed astonishingly. This
leads us to repeat what was stated in
our first preface, namely, that because
so many people fail with this crop we
believe it is one of the most promising
for the intelligent and energetic man to
take up. In this edition we have made
certain changes which experience has
taught us and offer it with thanks for
tin- kind reception given the first work."
The book endeavors to give every ne-
cessary detail for handling the soil, erec-
tion of houses and frames, the manage-
ment of the plants, and the marketing of
the flowers. It is eminently practical
and exact in all its advice and admon-
itions and in the closing chapters the
author seeks to show what is wisest for
the beginner, what it costs to grow a
violet plant and what such a plant un-
der fair conditions should yield. The
publishers are the De La Mare Co.. but
the book will be sent postpaid by the
Review to those who send $1.50 with
their order.

PHILADELPHIA.

The Market.

The cut Mower market continues ac-
tive for summer. The choice flowers are
rather scarce and more could be used.

lias begun cutting flowers from his
Queen street place, where his son, George
Burton, has been earning an enviable

abominably scarce. Sweet peas have ta-
ken on a new lease of life, as W. P.
Peacock, of Atco, the great dahlia grow-
er, is sending in quantities of "these
blooms to S. S. Pennoek. How is it
done? A little bird says it is late plant
ing and irrigating.

The Hail Storm.

Last week's hail storm has become a
matter of history. Twenty or more
places lost some glass and had stock dam-
aged, while one firm suffered very se-
verely. The damage inflicted was chiefly
in West Philadelphia and in Lansdowne.
though a number of places in both dis-
tricts escaped injury. Single thick glass
was smashed far more readily than dou-
ble thick. A few of the losers were in-
sured, but unfortunately most of them
were not.

One bright spot in this dark page was
the splendid way in which the Chestnut
Hill firms who escaped injury — John
Burton. Myers & Samtman and Edwin
Lonsdale — pitched in and helped their
less fortunate friends in West Philadel-
phia to reglaze the shattered houses.
Some men from each place were at it the
very next day. Truly this is a city of
brotherly love.

Riverton.

The Henry A. Dreer Company has
recently finished an exceptionally "heavy
shipping season for all kinds of foliage
plants and perennials, as well as for the
general line of soft-wooded plants so
popular in spring time. Since then the
entire place has had its annual overhaul-
ing, every plant being cared for, and
all rubbish removed from the houses,
to say nothing of the work done out-
side. It is hardly possible to realize
the enormous amount of work entailed
by this thorough house-cleaning without
a visit to Riverton. That this work is
so well and quickly done reflects great
credit on the system and push of those
in charge. To me a visit to this place
is an inspiration; the possibilities of
our business appear broader, the diffi-
culties to surmount smaller after an
afternoon spent with Mr. Eisele and Mr.
Clark in looking over what they have
accomplished.

The new range of Dietsch houses, short
span, open between, first occupied by
azaleas, are now entirely filled with
large imported kentias in from 6-inch to
14-inch pots. The larger sizes of this

light cloths; the flowers protected thus
acquire a freshness and delicacy of tint
very remarkable and the flowering season
is prolonged.

"Peonies do not want frequent water-
ings ; it is sufficient to water them co-
piously when the ground is dry. It is
chiefly during the great heat of the
months of July and August, that it is
necessary not to let them suffer of the
dryness, for at this time buds form which
must assure the flowering for the follow-
ing year."

ST. LOUIS WORLD'S FAIR.

Frederick W. Taylor, chief of the de-
partment "I hortieulturo, has just issued
a World's Fair circular of forty pages
which should be in the hands of every
one interested in any branch of the
trade. It will be sent free of charge
upon request. While written primarily
to interest exhibitors, the pamphlet con-
tains much of value in other ways, and
shows the broad scope of the exposition
and the liberal policy of the manage-

palm are said to be scarce, both in this
country and abroad. It was thought
good policy to grow on an extra quan-
tity of these plants for the fall decora-
tive business. Fully three-quarters of
the plants in this range are suitable
for decorations where material of good
size is necessary. All the plants ap-
pear in thrifty condition and are tilling
out nicely. It is expected that the range
will be 'filled with azaleas again next
winter.

Some idea can be formed of the
amount of business necessary to carry
out this plan when it is added that there
are two and a half acres in kentias
alone. There are about 7,000 azaleas
planted in peat outside in frames. These
plants are growing vigorously ami
should make even liner plants than
those imported in the fall. It is inter-
esting to note that while the peat in
which they arc now planted is found to
give good results when used for the fall
potting, it is necessary to have a fresh
supply when preparing the frames for
next spring's planting.

The rate at which the demand for
hardy phlox has increased is remark-
able. Some years ago a few, a thousand
or so, I think, was quite enough to meet
all requirements. This season no less
than 125.000 of these hardy perennials
are being planted out for stock, there
being 53.000 in one bed alone. Two
varieties of special merit were pointed
out by Mr. Eisele. One of these, an in-
tense cherry red. is Von Hochberg. This
is new and will be sent out next spring.
The other is not new, although little
known, having been in cultivation for
four or five years. Its name is F. C.
Von Lassburg. In size and in purity
it is a decided improvement on Pearl,
the leading white variety. These fields
of phlox were a show in themselves, even
after the heavy rains.

Returning to the houses, bench after
bench of kentias. arecas and latanias
were passed, all clean and vigorous. One

table of C - Weddeliana, in 3-inch

pots, was "reserved" for growing into
three-foot specimens. A pretty sighi
was a vow of specimen plants of Cocos
flexuosa, five or six feet high, considered
more decorative than any other palm in
commerce.

In 1889 the first plant of Pandanus
Sanderi made it- appearance. That plant
died, but fortunately a single cutting
survived from it. This cutting was the

parent of the plants, somewhere in the
neighborhood of a thousand, brougnt
over from England by Mr. Eisele in the
spring of .1901. So rapid has been the
increase under Mr. Clark's skillful man-
agement that today there are 11.000
plants, all told, of this variety, tilling
seven houses. It will be distributed
next October and already the advance
orders are far in excess of expectations.
Willi.' no one size is all engaged, it is
more than probable that there will not
be enough to satisfy everyone next fall.
It is gratifying to "find that the enter-
prise displayed in securing this great
novelty is appreciated by our florists.
An experiment made with a plant of
Pandanus Sanderi in a dwelling, under
unfavorable conditions, where it endured

extre s of heat and cold, wet and

drought, proved the plant to have re-
markable- endurance, the plant being not
a whit the worse today for its trials.
There axe two new varieties of aspara-

Thalcher before the ]Vni,-\lvania. Hor-
ticultural Society two years ago. It is
believed to be a hybrid of A. plumosus
nanus, A. deflexus (?) and A. tenuissi-
mus, the latter being the seed parent.
Its peculiarity is that it never climbs,
a plant in a 12-inch pan being as dwarf
as small plants of the parent variety.
This should be a great acquisition for
table ferneries. The other variety can
be found in limited quantities in Eng-
land. It is very beautiful, described as
an aristocratic Sprengeri. Nota Bene H.

Pennisetum maerophyllum is a red-
leaved grass that it is believed has a
great future as a bedding plant. It is of
robusl habit, a free grower and very
graceful. It appears to grow from two
and a half to three feet high. It would
make a fine edging for a bed of tall,
green-leaved cannas or an effective cen
tii for a bed of Coleus Verschaffeltii.
In fact, its rich color would enhance a
variety of effects in bed or border.

Pteris Childsii is said to be to 1 1 . . -
great family Pteris what Farleyense i^
to the family Adiantum; a choice vari-
etv that rannot lie propagated from
seed.

A very pretty bench was formed of
strap-leaved fancy caladiums in small
pots, each variety by itself. The colors
were pretty and' distinct. The leading
varieties were Mrs. Oliver Ames, < ounl
ess of Warwick, L'Ami Schwartz and

Undullatum. Time and space alone pre-
vents the description of many other in-
teresting features of this fine place.

ST. LOUIS.

The Market.
Business conditions remain unchanged.
There is -till a fair demand for good
stock, which is hard to obtain in this
market at present. There seems to be
plenty of poor stock in roses and carna-
tions." The best of the roses are Liberty
and Kaiserin. Brides and Bridesmaids,
as a rule, are very poor. A few fairly
good Beauties from young stock are seen.
Carnations are of poor quality, and un-
less fancy they meet with slow demand.
Whites are an exception, as they are re
quired for funeral work and any grade
ean be used for this when stock is scarce.
Asters are improving in quality and
quantity. The best call is for the large
Semple" white. Good purple and pink
are also in some demand. Tuberose and
gladiolus stalks are selling well for win-
dow decorations. Sweet peas arc over.
The greens market is in a healthy state.
and plenty of everything that is needed.

Florists' Picnic.

The St. Louis florists had a most en-
joyable time last Thursday at their pic-
nic held in Priester's Park. The weather
eould not have been better and 150 flor-
ists including their families, enjoyed a
most pleasant day. all acclaiming this
year's picnic the best the club has yet
given. Our suburban member- were well
represented with their families, as were
also the wholesalers.

The Jubilee singers, who have always
furnished one of the ait i jet inns at our
outings, again entertained the members
with sinyitig and made delightful music
for the dancing, which was kept up until
10 o'clock. The arrangement committee,
consisting of John Steidel. Charles Juen-
gel and F. M. Ellis, assisted by Fred
Ainmann. F. C. Weber, J. W. Dunford
and J. J. Beneke, had everything in read-
iness for the games at 2 o'clock. The
first event was a 50-yard race for little
girls, for which there were twelve en-

tries. Alma Ainmann was the winner
and the prize a handsome pearl neck-
lace. No. 2 was a 75-yard race for boys
under 14 years. Five young florists en-
tered for "this race, the winner being
Julius Beneke, Jr., and the prize a hand-
some pocket knife. No. 3 was a 50-yard
race for young ladies. There were ten
-i ntri and .Miss L. Meinhardt won the
six linen handkerchiefs. Young Sabher
won the 100-yard dash, the prize being
a gold watch charm. The fifth event was
a hopping race of 25 yards for married
ladies, nine ladies taking part. Mrs. F.
M. Ellis won by five yards, the prize
being a fine table ornament. In the 25-
yard jumping race for married men, ten
taking part, Mr. Sehadegger, of Kirk-
wood, proved the best jumper and won a
silver-mounted cane. Little Jessie San-
ders won a fine fan for being the fastesi
eater in the eating contest for little
girls, six taking part. ( >. K. Sanders
and C. Curndet won the three-legged race,
each receiving a pair of suspenders. Six
little fellows entered a walking match
for boys under 10 years. A. Steidel was
first, winning a hammock. Charlie Kuehn,
Jr.. was second and Wilfret Beneke
third.

\e\t came the event of the day, the
tug of war by two teams captained by
Fred Ammann and Ma\ Herzog, referees
F. C. Weber and John Steidel. After a
hard pull of some twenty minutes I ap
tain Ammann's side won with the fol-
lowing florists: W. J. Pileher, J. W.

in charge of Fred C. Weber. All the
events passed off pleasantly and every-
body was well pleased with the results.
After supper each enjoyed himself at his
favorite pastime — fishing, bowling, boat-
ing, shooting or dancing. At 10 o'clock
nearly everybody left for home and all
expressed themselves as having had a
good time. Let us hope that we may
all meet again next year.

to realize that we shall see old friends
again and combine business with the

is quite good enough and better than
most of them deserve. The West Shore
has sent out a very seductive circular
letter to every florist within 100 miles of
New York that ought to swell the at-
tendance from this center to at least 100.
The east should march into the ( ream
City "iini strong, and by the east I mean
Baltimore, Washington, Philadelphia,
Boston and New York, with the suburban
cities that are near them. This would
mean a total of 1,500, at least, at Mil-
waukee, and I know Vice-President Poll-
worth is anticipating a 2,000 record.
Willi the Chicago invasion on Friday in-
cluded, these figures are likely to be ex-
ceeded.

The scheme to add to the number of
bowling prizes is commendable and the
opportunity for all to immortalize them-
selves by sending special prize offers for
the contest to C. C. Pollworth is now
open. Those who desire to do so can
write him immediately what they will
offer and the announcement of these gen-
erous donations will be given in our
later issues. The following prizes in ad-
dition to the regular premiums are need-
ed in the individual games, open to all
who do not take part in the team con-
tests: Prizes for the first, second, third,
fourth and fifth highest scores; special
prize for most strikes; special prize for
most spares; special prize to every man
who bowls over 200; a prize to every
man who bowls over 175. For the great
team contests a special prize for highest
score, prize for every man bowling over
200, prize for largest number of strikes,
special prizes for the six members of the
winning team. These added honors will
greatly increase the general interest and
reduce the tendency to "rattles" and
cause such an interest as will make the
bowling contest whal it should be, the
athletic event of the year among horti-
culturists.

LOUISVILLE, KY.

Business the past week ha- been all
that could he expected; lots of funeral
work and wiiite flowers are becoming
scarce, owing to the dry spell we are hav-
ing. All thing- considered the month of
July was a good one for the florist.
Roses are coming in very small. Asters
arc making their appearance. All that
is just now needed is a good rain, which
would help outdoor stuff considerably.

Some of the florists here have housed
their Lawson carnations.

Jacob Sehulz has moved into his new
store at 041 Fourth avenue and it makes
a beautiful appearance. He is adding to
the rear of bis store a 100-foot green-
house.

Jos. Coenen & Co. have one bench of
Lawson carnations and one of Murphy's
White growing under glass, which are
looking very promising.

E. G. Reimers is rebuilding four houses
at. his place on Baxter avenue.

Henry Fuchs is putting up a green-
house, 32x100. for chrysanthemums.

Sam. Pontrieh, of Twenty-eighth and
Greenwood avenue, is adding three more
houses to his place.

Mrs. T. B. Rudy ami daughter, Violet,
are -pending the summer at Carrollton,
Ky.

Mrs. John Bohrman is spending the
snmnier with relatives in Illinois.

William Walker and his bride are
-[lending their honeymoon in Scotland.

William Mann leaves in a few days to
spend the rest of the summer at Atlantic
City.

The next meeting of the Kentucky So-
ciety of Florists will be held at River-
side Park and a full attendance is ex-

i.u-iiie-s and mailing trade, together with
the warehouses, nurseries and green-
houses on the corner of East Pike and

pleased that the fall in pig iron gives
him a chance to quote favorable prices

Death of Frederick Dillemuth.

Thursday evening. July 23, Frederick
Dillemuth. construction foreman and a
director of the Pittsburg Lose and Car-
nation Co.. at Bakerstown, and a broth-
er in law of Fred Burki, was drowned in
a reservoir on the farm. Mr. Dillemuth
went to the pumping house for the pur-
pose of pumping water into the tank.
Something appeared to be wrong with

was drowned. Mr. Dillemuth was a very
successful man in all his undertakings.
He was in the best of health and full of
vigor. His sudden demise will be much
felt by his partners and employes who
respected him highly.

daughter and three sons, one of whom

is Harry Dillemuth. with -I no. 11. Dun-

GRAND RAPIDS.

The Market.

The weather has been warm, with cool
night-, often so cool as to mildew the
rose-. Business has kept up very satis-
factorily. While the cut of carnations
i- growing continually less, still, as the
growers have thrown out but very few
plants, it is still of good size and at
time- not equal to the demand. Loses
have ueen scarce and unobtainable right
along: prices are about the same as last

repol ted.

Notes.

Mo-t of the florists are behind with
planting; too much to see to. too much
building, too much repairing and rebuild-

Cross has all his violet houses planted.

Schols has planted nothing but violets
this year.

Crabb & Hunter have three of tneir
new range of houses glazed and planted,
two to roses and one to violets. They
have had considerable trouble with get-
ting a water supply. After sinking a
well and finding no supply, they tapped
the lake, 1,750 feet off; after numerous
adventures they at last got a first-class
crib sunk in seven and one-half feet of
clear water, when along came a boat and
put that crib through the propeller
wheel, chawed it all up. the greedy thing;
but the boat was seized with a fit of in-
digestion and laid up for repairs.

Mulick Bros., so report has it, want
to sell out and locate in Greenville, this
state.

Cunningham is hurrying his new houses
along as fast as he can. His dwelling
house is ready for occupancy. When
he vacates his present quarters, near
John Eall park, the owners, Schmidt
Bros., are going to run it themselves.
They will grow geraniums, lettuce and
cucumbers.

Flora] Co. has not. yet planted, but is
rebuilding the two narrow houses into
one large house, as they consider it bet-
ter than a small one for violets.

Bruinslot & Sons have five 100-foot
houses built on their new place and have
them almost glazed.

Henry Smith is rebuilding the houses
ih-troyed by lire. He is discarding three
small boilers and replacing them with
larger ones.

Freyling & Mendals are rebuilding

THE ONION SET CROP.

Harvesting has sufficiently advanced
to give a fairly definite idea as to what
the crop will pan out. At Indianapolis
the quality of the sets harvested confirms
earlier advices a- to excellence, but the
quant in falls l.eh.w expectations. The
crop there is about harvested and the
weather for harvesting was all that could
he desired. At Louisville harvesting is
somewhat later than usual, but the end
of the week will about sec the finish;
expectations all along have been for
about half a crop and the harvest shows
it to be even less, with the quality coar-
ser than usual. At Chilli. utile about an
average crop is being harvested; quality
fair. At Chicago harvesting is under
way in the southern section and just be-
ginning in the northern section, the ter-
ritory covered by sei growing at this

The Market

Trade is fair for this season of the
year and there is just, about enough
good stock on the market to meet the
requirements. Carnations are shorten-
ing up iu supply but asters are making
their appearance to take the place.
There are not as many sweet peas as in
former years. Some gooid lilies, both
longillorum and auratum, are in and
an occasional spurt in funeral work
keeps them cleaned up.

Pollworths are cuttirig some fine
roses, Maid, Gate, Perle and Meteor,
from plants carried over from last sea-
son and have just finished planting up
seven houses in Liberty, Ivory, Maid,
Bride and Meteor and have now two
large houses under way for some of the
newer varieties of carnations. Nic
Zweifel is sending a fine lot of Genevieve
Lord carnations which sell on sight. C.
Johansen is building one additional
house and will grow carnations ex-
clusively for next season. C. Burmeis-
ter is also adding one house for carna-
tions. Heitman & Baerman are erect-
ing three houses on the Dictsch plan for
carnations.

The sale of green goods is somewhat
light but there has been quite a demand
for small palms, asparagus and ferns
for growing on.

Convention Matters.

There was quite a large attendance
at our last club meeting. "The fair sex
were also present at this meeting and
took a lively interest. The work is
pretty well divided among the various
committees and final arrangements arc
being made for the coming visitors. En-
tries for the trade display are excep-
tionally large. Aside from business,
the entertainment provided for the
members of the S. A. F. is an elabor-
ate one. The bowlers are also becom-
ing active and Win. Edlefsen is daily
practicing to bring up his average to
get on the team. His latest score of
234 shows that he is getting into his
New York convention form. W. A.
Kennedy, with his speedy ball, bunches
up a great many strikes in a game.
Holton is claiming a great deal of hard
luck but expects to reverse matters dur-
ing the tournament. Herman Hunkel

St. Joseph, Mo. — L. J. Stuppy has
recently concluded the purchase of six
acres of adjoining property at a cost
of $1,000 an acre. He is in need of
larger supplies of stock and will prob-
ably put up a good sized addition to his
range.

Geneva, III. — The Harvey greenhouses,
until recently operated by the late J. T.
Anthony, have passed into the hands of
Davis Bros., of Morrison, 111., and will
be operated by them in connection with
their home plant, which is also being en-
larged this year. This will give them
splendid facilities, the Geneva place being
in charge of W. B. Davis, who, until
recently has been with George A. Ivuhl,
at Pekin.

I find the Review very valuable, al-
though my greenhouse is very small as
compared with those I read about in the
paper. Put in all you can for begin-
ners, even if it does seem absurd to those
old in the profession. — Sarah Cox., Ho-

The Market.

Nothing doing ! Never more quiet ; no
particular harm being done because only
a few goods are coming in now; the tired
plants are gone on strike. Money is off
mi a vacation, too, with only a stray dol-
lar around now and then. A curious
condition is on at the wholesale market,
wliieh I notice every year, but never quite
so early in the season. If a man really
offers to pay for his small purchase, he
shows up a big bill. On tirst sight you
think all hands are flush, but no; it is
one he has saved up from last winter
for just this purpose. But there is some
one all the time running around trying
to break a big bill.

Expectations are discounted a few
years by a financial explosion down on
Hawley street. Creditors of Geo. A.
Sutherland have their $7,500 of hopes
blown up but now hope to save $4,000.
These affairs are occurring so regularly
growers ought to be getting used to it
and not minding, but on the contrary
they criticise and question savagely. It
seems to be the custom to allow men in
all kinds of business to keep along on* a
claim of money due them from customers
"soon in come in.'' You can do nothing.
This situation hits the flower business
especially because of the perishable na-
ture of the goods and the generosity of
the plants at times. And if those grow-
ers now in the business refuse credits,
new growers spring up like mushrooms in
a night and extend unlimited terms. The
Sutherland creditors have placed their

Park. Some saj thai while there he bit

;i | ■ innocent bear. Others say a bear

bit him, and at In ^t accounts the poor
bear was alive and not expected to sur-
vive Till' most probable account til itn.-i-

who best know Bill's disposition is that
he accommodatingly held his finger be-
tween the bars of the den and let the bear
ehevt upon it. His finger looks that way.

The baseball microbe infests the busi-
ness but not seriously. Elliott's Brigh-
ton team gave the Waban Roses a run of
15 to 11 and his New Hampshire boys
gave a Dover tram instruction to the
tune of 1) to 8. He is soon to match his
two teams together, ami watch the sparks

SYRACUSE, N. Y.

Demise of Henry Burt.

Henry Burt, one of the leading flor-
ists of the city died on the evening of
July 19. Mr. Burt had been in poor
health for a few weeks past, but death
came unexpectedly. He was able to be
up and about the house all day and was
apparently in better spirits than usual.
He had eaten a hearty supper and had
just retired when he was seized by an
attack of heart failure from which be
never rallied. His daughter and a phy-
sician were immediately sent for. but be-
fore they could arrive death had result-
ed.

Mr. Burt, was 78 years of age. was
born in Sanderhurst, England, and came
to this country about fifty-two years

ducted a vegetable farm in the vicinity
of this city and his person and market
earls wen- well known all over town at
that time. A little more than thirty

florist which he continued to conduct up

to the time of his death. In this busi-
ness he became even better known than
before and won a wide reputation, both
as a successful business man and grower.
Mr. Burt is survived by his wife, who
was formerly Miss Harriet Barnes, also
of England, to whom he was married
fifty-two years ago. There are also two
sons, Alfred Burt of this city and Al-
bert Burt of Buffalo, and a daughter,
Mrs. L. Light of this city.

PLAN FOR PIPING.
Where I am building, the temperature
falls to 20 to 30 below zero every win-
ter and cold winds are strong from the
northwest. I want to heat the houses
by hot water, so that it will not be
neessnry for someone to stay up all night.
I enclose sketch of the houses and would
like to know how to pipe and the cost
of a boiler which will do the work.
W. H. Leaking.

I would place the boiler cellar at the
west of the potting shed and from here
run a separate set of 2-inch flow and re-
turn mains to the palm bouse, connect-
ing them In eleven lines of 2-inch pipes
in coils of six (three flow- and three re-
turns': under each of the two side
benches. A 6-inch flow main should start
from the boiler and extend overhead
northward through the palm house till

tion house, taking off a 2i-inch connec-
tion for the plant house, a 3-inch flow to
the rose house, a 3-inch flow for trie
smilax and plant house and continue
3i-inch to the carnation house. The
6-inch main can be reduced proportion-
ately ;i- the several laterals are taken off.
In the plant house twelve lines of 2-
iinli pipes, in addition to the overhead
main, will be needed in the rose house,
seventeen lines of 2 inch pipes, in the
smilax house fourteen lines, in the plant
section of the smilax house twelve lines,

All pipes in these houses will be re-
turn-, and will grade downward toward
the west end where they will connect
to a return main running across the
ends of the houses below the floor line in
a northerly direction to the hoiler in
tin cellar. This main return will be
5-mch at its connection to the boiler and
will reduce proportionately in its run
south as the several laterals are con-
nected. The boiler cellar should be at
least six and one-half feet deep below
the Hour line of the carnation house at
it- western end.

A suitable hot water boiler would cost
approximately $400 in Chicago. I can-
not estimate cost of pipes as I do not

know the prices ruling at the nearest dis-
tributing center. For a range such as
W. H. L. describes I should be inclined to
use steam in preference to water heat;
especially in view of the extremely low
temperatures experienced.

PIPING.

We have a house 16x50, north and
south, new and tight, no side lights but
glass in end. How many runs of 2-inch
pipe, how distributed, will be required
from a six horse-power horizontal boiler?
R. C.

Eleven lines of 2-inch hot water pipes
should be placed in the sixteen feet wide
house, four lines being placed under
each of the outside benches and three
lines under the center bench. The flow
main should be taken from the top of the
hoiler and the return main enter the
boiler at or near the bottom. The top of
the boiler should be below the floor level
of the greenhouse.

Heavy Loss by Hail.
was visited by a v

hea

Denver

hail storm July 24, which did a great
deal of damage, jus! aboul a month
later than the storm which struck us
last year. The stones did not fall very
thickly but in si/,' they were record
breakers. The following is a list of the
losses of greenhouse glass: The I olfas
Avenue Floral Co., 10,000 to 12,000
lights; Park Floral Co., 5.000 lights;
Daniels & Fisher, half their glass; Mrs.
R, \laull'. 5,000 lights at the retail
stand, not much loss at the wholesale
place, while W. C. Walters, not two
blocks away, lost '.1.000 lights, about one-
third of his total. Emil Glauber lost
70 per cent of his glass, there being
only fifteen whole panes left in bis large
Beautj bouse. Joe Esslinger lost every
light, Newlander & Rollin about sixty
per cent and Walters & Richmond 1.750
lights. Fred Hall got off with the loss
of 200 panes, Gallup Floral Co., 150
lights, and the public parks about 250
panes. The losses of others were small.
Outdoor stock was not seriously dam-
aged, although canna beds were cut up
quite a little.

Trade is very light just now, practi-
cally nothing doing but cut flower work.
Roses retail for $1 a dozen, carnations
35 cents to 50 cents. Thorn.

INDIANAPOLIS. IND.

Two more of our younger members of
the craft have joined the ranks of the
benedicts. On July 7 Thos. B. Pritchard,
designer and decorator at Wiegand's,
was married to Miss Mary I.. Meyers.
After a trip through the east they have
returned and are now at home to their
friends at 1515 N. Illinois street. The
other is Clarence R. Green, who was
married to Miss E. C. Stevens. Clarence
has for several years had charge of the
retail department of his brother-in-law's
business, E. A. Nelson. They have gone
to housekeeping at 3507 N. Senate ave-
nue and will be at home to their friends
after September 1. Both of these young
men are very popular with the craft
and all wish them a long and happy
married life. A. B.*

The Weekly Florists' Review,

DES MOINES, IA.

Trade is at it~ midsummer dullness.
The hustle is over with the store man
and at its meridian with the growers.
The latter is getting in soil for his car-
nations and topping them in the Geld
and, in fact, between his 'mums, ..una
1 ions and soil and hi- desire to go to
Milwaukee he finds himself busj
the pouring ray- of Old Sol, and the
store inan'- call ovi r the 'plum.' "to take
a day oil' and on lishinj; with him." Then
there are the u-ual repairs that the ex-
perienced man attends to, which the less
experienced and thoughtless one lets go
until about time to start the fires for
winter.

There i> -une Imilding this year. Chas.
l'.randtman i- Imilding two house- lSxlllll
on East Twenty-fifth and Walnut streets
Julius Liedig is removing his houses
from the ll led distrid to Wesl Seven-
teenth and Grand avenue. I cannol say
i- to whether he expects to enlarge or
not. W. I.. Morris will content himself
with his present range and build early
next year.

J. F. Marshall, who began to drop his
pennies int.. a paint keg after the Ashe-
ville convention, so that he might go to
Milwaukee, -ay- the keg got mislaid and
as an "American beauty" came to their
nome a short time back and. a- they
have five boys and this is a girl, he
claims all this a good and sufficient ex
euse for remaining away from the Cream
City. So in all. I fear our representa-
tion at the convention will be small.

Our park> are looking well, especially
Union Park, where the floral display i-
the finest in the state and Mr. Ftilmer
has many compliments passed on it daily.
The aquatic garden is also good, the
nelumbiums and nymphseas being espe-
cially fine. The "shrubbery that was
planted this spring at Union Park prom
ises well and the park eommis-iunors
are to he commended for their work in
this direction. .T. T. D. F.

NEW BEDFORD, MASS.

The past week there has been quite
Si lot of funeral work but not much
other trade. Sweet peas are more plenti-
ful this week than last. Carnations are
scarce and poor. Roses are coming bet-
ter; Kaiserin is the leader.

The New Bedford Horticultural Club
met July 25. Between fifteen and
twenty members were present. William
Keith presided and said the purpose of
-the meeting was to arrange for the fall
flower show. Dennis Shea submitted a
schedule. It was voted to add fruit to
the list. It is planned to hold the show-
in City Hall. September 17 and IS. When
the matter of judges came up. the mem-
bers suggested that the services of James
Parker, of Boston, be secured, while
others favored selecting judges from their
own members. It was finally voted to
give the executive commitee full power to
select judges. The matter of admission
fee was also left to the committee.

PIPING.

I have a grwnliuu-e lK\-~>. with a
sash in each side wall ami the east gable
glass. There is a bench three feel wide
on each side and a center bench 8x12,
with a solid bed 8x9 in the west end.
Tin- limi-e i- fairh well sheltered "ii the
northwest by a dwelling. Using 2-inch
pipe and hot water 55 degrees is re
quired when the outdoor temperature is
15 to -Jil decrees below zero.

F. i-:. i .

Fourteen lines of 2-inCh pipes will lie
required for the ell'ei-tive heating of the

greenhouse desci

ibed, using hot water.

These should tx

arranged as follows;

Five pipes unde

■ each side bench, two

being Hows and

hre< returns, and four

pipes under the

-.■lit.i bench, two Hows

and two returns

When the solid bed

takes the place

if the center bench the

pipes can be hung on the side of the bed.

in the walk.

Henry W. Gibbons.

NUMBER OF PIPES.

Will you please give us suggestions

to the number of pipes to be used in
a carnation house 18x60; north wall
five feet high without glass ; south wall
si\ and one-half feet, protected by green-
house about three-fourths of the way.
Also an asparagus, smilax and fern
house 11x25, lean-to, adjoining another
greenhouse. Also a rose house 11x38,
lean-to, south gutter six feet from
ground, with two feet of glass in wall.
The thermometer has registered 25 de-
grees below zero, but 14 to 18 degrees is
about the lowest in an average winter.
Jake.

Using hot water as the heating me-
dium, lie will require thirteen lines of 2-
inch pipes in the carnation house, nine
lines in the rose house and seven lines
in the fern house.

The Commercial Florist

JEEDS a manufacturing plant that will produce the largest number of perfect blooms for
the least money. In common with all manufacturers, his advantage lies in economy
of operation. The regulation of heat and ventilating in large ranges must be accom-
plished with the least possible labor; every pound of coal must be utilized to the limit in the
boilers; the construction must be of such quality and style as to reduce the maintenance
account to a minimum, etc. Acres upon acres cultivated under our glass by commercial florists
attest the superiority of our structures for economical production. Our buildings on private
estates are designed and erected with the same requirements of economical operation always in
view. There is perhaps more expense in their ornamental effect, but they are just as practical.

Catalogue of Iron Greenhouse Construction will be mailed from our New York office on receipt of five cents for postage.

EARLY VARIETIES.

If you are growing any of the very
earlj varieties with the idea of cutting
flowers from October 1 onward, it is
high time to be selecting the buds, if
any are yet showing on the plants. To
get flowers early one must, of course,
use the crown buds on these early vari-
eties, or otherwise they will be early
chiefly in name.

Such sorts as Lady Pitzwygram,
Bcrgmann, Marquis de Montmort and
October Sunshine may all have the buds
taken with safety from August 1 on-
ward, and as it takes a bud from forty
to sixty days to develop, according to
variety, you will be able to commence
cutting by the last week in September,
providing you need them so soon. Last
year the early flowers sold very poorly,
owing to the fact that there was such
an abundance of outdoor flowers so
late in the season. This year it may
be the same, or, again, it may happen
that a freeze may cut things down out-
side the first week in October, and in
such a case the early 'mums are profit-
able.

Glory of the Pacific and its sports,
Polly Pose, Cremo, Estelle, etc., should
not have their buds taken before Au-
gust 20. In my experience I have found
that buds taken at an earlier date on
Pacific either did not come good or
blasted and did not come at all. Pa-
cific comes quickly after the bud is
taken, being generally ready to cut the
first week in October.

Two varieties that I spoke highly of
last year, being ready to cut by Octo-
ber 10, were Lady Harriet and Alice
Byron. The buds on these two varie-
ties were taken August 10 to 12 and
they finished splendidly. Following
closely on the two last named was Mrs.
Coombes, which, from buds taken Au-
gust 18, produced very fine flowers by
October 12 to 15. Coombes is one of the
best keeping pink 'mums that I know
of and is planted extensively this year.

Following Coombes the varieties come
in thick and fast and the market fills
up rapidly. It is much too early yet to
be taking the buds on the general run
of the varieties and the ones I have
mentioned are possibly not much grown
except by those growers who want to
get the crop cut out early. The last
week in August is early enough for se-
lecting the buds on such varieties as
Mrs. Eobinson, Eaton, Morel, etc., and
for some varieties even later than that.

Red Spider.

Red spider often gets under the foli-
age at this time of year and is liable
to become numerous in a very short
time if not kept track of. If syringing
is done constantly and properly, spider
should not be troublesome, yet the fact
remains that one seldom sees a house of
chrysanthemums entirely free from it
in August. When syringing one should
endeavor all the time to wash the under
side of the foliage and not worry about
the top. It is a good idea to get a
spraying attachment fixed on the hose

once in a while and with it spray every
plant thoroughly. Caterpillars and
other insects whose presence had pre-
viously not been suspected will be
brought to light by this means. I have
had flowers ruined by red spider before
I noticed it, and if the plants are not
clean before the bud shows color trou-
ble may be looked for when spraying
has to lie discontinued. Brian Boru.

CARNATION NOTES-WEST.

After you have your plants well es-
tablished and before you put on any sup-
ports you will need to give them a
thorough cleaning of all dead foliage,
etc. This is an operation that I have
always hesitated in advocating on account
of the danger to the plants that attends
it. It will try your patience to the ut-
most and only your most careful and
painstaking employes should be put at
it. Not more than one man in a dozen
is really capable of doing this work
properly from morning till night. Our
American people generally have too many
nerves. They want to see some progress
and in order to make a show their work
is often slighted to the detriment of the
object that is supposed to be benefited.

Eemember that the roots are just tak-
ing hold of the soil and they are young
and tender, and if you pull the plant
around you are liable to break off many
of them and thus check the plants ' prog-
ress toward recovery. So handle them
carefully. Don't gather as many leaves
as you can, to be pulled off together, but

p ace for disease to enter the tissues of
the plant.

The best time to do this is when the
plants are dry, as the leaves will break
easier then. Any leaves that are spotted
or diseased in any way should be re-
moved. While you are doing this you
i-.-iii alsii straighten up any plants that
lean to one side after you first watered
them after planting, as often happens.
A. F. J. Batjk.

CARNATION NOTES-EAST.

Care for Foliage.

The foliage of a plant may be said
to be what our lungs are to us." Through
this medium much necessary matter is
absorbed; therefore it is most important
that our attention be directed towards
encouraging its perfect health lest some,
lurking disease obtain a foothold. Not
only must we govern the supply of food
and water, but surround our plants with
those two life-giving agencies, light and
pure air.

The question of light should have re-
ceived your attention at time of house
construction, but pure air may be lack-
ing in the lightest of houses, either ow-
ing to insufficient or improper arrange-
ment of ventilation, or on account of
decaying vegetable matter being allowed
to collect under the benches or elsewhere.

I am a firm believer in side ventila-
tion and, if your houses are not so pro-
vided, would advise that some plan be de-
vised to secure such, at least temporarily ;
then with doors at one or both ends and
ample ventilation at the ridge one can,
by observation, keep the air constantly
changing without subjecting the plants
to sudden changes or unnecessary blasts
of wind.

Air rising from decaying matter, such
as dead leaves, plants, weeds and rotten
wood, can result in nothing but a pollu-

pull off each leaf separately and instead
of pulling straight away from the stem,
give a side-ways pull, which will tear the
leaf crossways right at the stem. The
danger in the other way is that you will
often pull a thread along with it and
thus injure the bark on the stem. You
can readily see that if this happens sev-
eral times on a stem it will seriously
cripple the plant, besides being a good

tic hi of the air, to say nothing of the
breeding ground furnished for wood lice,
snails, etc. Fungous diseases are often
developed in a house where affected
leaves and plants have been carelessly
thrown about and left to await an op-
portunity to start afresh. See to it that
your plants have congenial surroundings
of every possible nature. After a thor-
ough cleaning, give the space under the

The accompanying illustrations are

and i- tilling rose- and carnation houses,
used this season by the Lake View Rose

ratus was built especially for us by
the Engineering & Power Co., of James

The machine is a grand invention and
a success for the purposes it was in-

markable manner. As the pictures show.
the soil is carried in on an endless belt

One of the many good points of this

Another good point is the reversible

houses and ran be reversed in ten min-
utes. Pictures show this in both posi
tions and it is quite important, for, after
the machine is set up in a house, it is
never changed until the house is fin-
ish.'.!, and the quickness in changing the
ohwntor from emptying to refilling keeps
our teams busy till the time, foi
as the last load of soil is out of the
house, they commence bringing the new
soil back, so that not a minute is lost.

The machine is a decided advantage
over wheelbarrows or any other eontriv-
ance in the florists' world today, both in

i my aid as a time saver, besides the

advantages gained in early planting. It
is a twentieth century idea and for large
plants something besides the old-fash-
ioned way must be adopted. Large con-

cerns cannot get along without a ma-
don, of this kind; besides the machine
will sue its cost in one year.

Seasonable Hints.

By reason of the press of work during
carnation benching, roses will be liable
to be somewhat neglected, and as this is
the time when they really demand con-
stant care and attention in such mat-
ters as tying, disbudding and cultivating,
it is well to be on our guard, and to re-
member that neglect at this season means
fewer buds and very likely of an inferior
quality for first cut, and the plants are
likely to lose a part of the best growing
season.

In order to get carnations benched as
quickly as possible all hands are usuallv
called on for aid, but where the rose crop
is of equal importance with carnations.
it is wise to leave a few of the most
experienced hands to at least keep things
straight in the rose section during this

This should be in as fresh .1 condition as
possible, as if it is the least -tale it is of
no effect and this accounts foi the many
complaints as to its ineflieacy. For use
as a dry powder, in which state I con-
sider it 'most effective, it may be diluted
with flour in the proportion of one of the
powder to four 01 flour. Close live
Mutilators and apply with the powder
blower. Twice a week is sufficient.

Helebore administered as a dry powder
is also very effective, as this kills by con-
tact and also by being eaten. Paris green
is the most common remedy used in rose
houses, and is applied in the dry state.
It should be diluted with some tine pow-
der and well mixed. Air slaked lime as a
dilutent answers the purpose admirably ;
the proportion should be lime forty, poi-
son one. Apply with powder blower and
refrain from syringing for twenty-four
hours. Two applications per week will
soon clean them out. Kibes.

MIGNONETTE CULTURE.

English growers of this annual, by a
system of culture peculiarly their own,
convert the plant into a semi-shrub and
perpetuate its life for a period of from
six to eight years. In my last article
on mignonette I described the method
of selecting, harvesting, storing and sow-
ing the seed, and its culture and care
up to its blooming stage.

These methods in this case are perti-
nent up to the stage where training be-
gins by removing the two topmost leaves,
Where it is designed to train the plant
into its tree form, the training must be
deferred till the plant has reached the
length desired for height of stem. _ The
stem must be supported and kept in an
upright position and all the leaves along

the plant in this form, as any approach
towards pinching as resorted to in chrys-
anthemum culture is simply ruin.

When the plant has formed a head
measuring eight or ten inches across, the
leaves and branches along the stem should
be gradually removed, taking off two or
three of these at intervals of four or
five days, beginning from the bottom.
Training should be continued till Novem-
ber, when the flower buds can be allowed
to develop.

A compost of four parts loam to one
of well decomposed cow manure, with
one-sixteenth of the entire bulk of sand
and the same quantity of old lime mor-
tar added suits admirably. The last shift
should be given before the middle of
September, giving ample drainage and
leaving room for a light mulch when re-
quired.

These plants thrive best in a deep
frame or pit, with the back to the south,
and should have a lath shading during
bright weather. Before the nights get
cold they should be brought into a house
having a night temperature not exceed-
ing 54 degrees.

I have frequently seen plants with
three-foot or four-foot stems and with
perfectly symmetrical heads measuring
three feet across and literally covered
with blooms. And many of these speci-
mens were grown by amateurs who did
not possess a foot of glass other than
a sash frame and their window accomo-
dation, and yet they kept them in good
flowering condition for as long as six
and eight years. Bibes.

NEW SWEET PEAS.

At the annual exhibition of the Na-
tional Sweet Pea Society of England,
July 15 and 16, Henry Eckford, of Wem,
was awarded a silver medal for Scarlet
Gem, a very bright red, which was judged
the best novelty of the year. Mr. Eck-

the stem left on. When these eyes break
and send forth a shoot this should be al-
lowed to grow until it has attained five
or six leaves, when the top leaves should
be removed.

Encourage the plant to make a clean
stem of from three to four feet before
taking out the tips, and after that keep
picking out the tips of each shoot after
it has made four or five leaves. This
part of the training is of the utmost
importance in the successful culture of

REMEDY FOR ANTS.

I have been troubled with ants for
some time, there being two large colon-
ies in my garden. I tried to destroy them
in various ways, using sugar and Paris
green on bread and fresh bones, but that
did not ' ' do them up. ' ' I then used

gasoline. After wetting the ground I
made a hole with a stick, about six inches
deep, filled it with gasoline and then
trod the earth down solid. It killed
most of them. I repeated the dose when
any made their appearance and am now
entirely free from the pest. The gaso-
line did not hurt cannas or strawberries.

ADAPTING IDEAS.

A florist who was short of flowers when
making up a pillow remembered having
seen a Japanese curtain with one corner
cut off and finally solved his pillow
difficulty by omitting flowers from one
corner of his design. He was much
praised for the "artistic inspiration."

The plan for the rose garden at the
Chicago World's Fair was taken from
the ornamental casting on top of a radi-
ator in the office of the officials. An im-
print of the radiator was taken by cover-
ing it with shoe blacking and then
smoothly pressing a sheet of paper
against it.

The plan for an odd and especially at-
tractive ribbon bed was taken from the
ornamentation of a seam in a pair of rub-
bers purchased by an observing park su-
perintendent.

CHICAGO.

The Market.

One can gather all sorts of reports as
to the state of the market, but on the
whole it may be said that seldom, if ever,
has there been so little stock in the mar-
ket or rose values so high at this sea-
son, quality of stock, of course, being
considered. But even at that there have
several times lately been too many car-
nations. Koses continue scarce, but more
growers are beginning to cut from young
stock and supplies are sure to increase
steadily from this on. Just the same
Beauties are still hard to get. Kaiserin
is scarce and Meteor is of about the best
average quality.

Some good white carnations, mostly
Flora Hill, are coming in and have
brought fine prices one day and nothing
to brag of the next, according to supply
and demand. It is impossible to carry
them over night and retain their fresh-
ness. Outdoor carnations are coming in
more plentifully and asters are beginning
to pile up. F. W. Timme says this should
be a great year for asters because of the
fine growing weather, but qualities are
not very high and prices are decidedly
low. As a matter of fact, all outdoor
flowers are clogging the market. Aura-
tums are very abundant and of widely
varying quality. Ferns received from the
east are very fine now.

Various Notes.

E. F. Kurowski, of the Moninger Co.,
was at Mendota the other day and says
that Henry Schweitzer was put com-
pletely out of business by the recent
storm. But Mr. Kurowski 's firm is heip
ing him to rebuild and friends in the
trade will largely restock the place.

F. G. Klingel, bookkeeper at Peter
Beinberg's, who has been ill for several
weeks, is at Benton Harbor, keeping
quiet by the doctor's orders.

The George Wittbold Co. will send an
exhibit of specimen plants to the con-
vention.

The younger members of the Wien-
hoeber family are in the mountains, but
George Wienhoeber will be home for the

PHILADELPHIA.

The Market.

The market is decidedly summery
now; there is an air of repose about the
business center, broken only by an occa-
sional ripple. Asters are more plenti-
ful, of better quality and sell fairly,
with prices a trifle lower. Good roses
are wanted occasionally and can gener-
ally be had. Gladiolus are still plenti-
ful, but are not in demand. Eugene
Bernheimer received his first shipment
of outdoor carnations, chiefly Ethel
Crocker. The stores in the center of the
city are evidently doing a little busi-
ness. Their show windows are arranged
with unusual taste and care for mid-
summer, showing that the proprietors
realize that business may be created.

A Change in Name Only.

The firm of Henry F. Michell has
beccine the Henry F. Michell Com-
pany, Incorporated. Henry F. .Michell
is president and secretary, Fred J. Mi-
chell is vice-president and treasurer.
This is a change in name only.

This seed firm, started about a dozen
years ago at 101 South Market street,
is today one of the largest and most
successful in the country. Their busi-
ness this season increased fifty per cent
over that of the year before — a phenom-
enal improvement when the size of their
previous business is considered. They
employ forty-five persons in their va-
rious departments. A visitor is always
impressed with the fact that these em-
ployes all have their duties to perform
and they do them.

Quite a number of extensive improve-
ments are about to be carried out. One-
half of the entire second story is to be
fitted up for a flower seed department in
the most approved modern style, similar
in many respects to the vegetable seed
department put on the third floor a year

ago, found to be a great aid in facilitat-
ing the filling of orders. The offices are
to be moved from the first to the second
floor to give more room for the display
of merchandise. Also a first-class
freight elevator is to be put in the rear
portion of the building.

The success of the brothers is de-
served. They have worked hard, used
good judgment and have dealt fairly by
their customers.

Notes.

Edward Reid has returned from the
south much pleased with his trip. He
found the southern florists in a prosper-
ous condition. At Savannah, Georgia,
he had the pleasure of seeing a box of
his own flowers unpacked in perfect con-
dition. Mr. Reid mentioned that the
Eemew is considered to be the paper in
the south, because it gives cultural notes
and news of interest.

James Heacoek has for some months
been foreman in charge of his father 's
big place at Wyncote. The palms are in
beautiful condition, doing credit to
father and son. The roses are all plant-
ed and growing nicely. The Beauties are
the picture of health. A house of Lib-
erty was in excellent condition.

B. Esehner, of M. Rice & Co., is ar-
ranging for the firm's handsome exhibit
at Milwaukee.

The failure of the Doylestown bank is
a very serious matter for many of the
florists in that neighborhood. The cashier
of the bank believes that the depositors
will be paid in full. It is earnestly
doped that this may be true.

John C. Gracey, of the Woodford
Floral Exchange, 2028 Columbia avenue,
has purchased a property at 2024 Colum-
bia avenue. The lot is thirty feet frort.
with a building on it which he intends

ist shop, with room for preenhouse In

BUFFALO.

The Picn c Spoiled.

This is the "day of our discontent."
We were to have a picnic this afternoon
and Emile Brucker, the amiable and yet
cut*' and industrious right bower of W.
F, Kasting's wholesale emporium, and
who is the chairman of the committee,
says that 150 tickets were sold. If so,
and it is so, what a time we would have
had, but it is raining, not cats and dogs,
but large drops of liquid that annoy the
belated harvester of hay and wheat,
make the ground admirable for lifting
carnations, spoil the track for harness
trotters, do great benefit to the corn
crop and beat down the ripening oats.
All vegetation luxuriates and yet it is
inclement for church and other picnics.
Our picnic was not classed as a church
picnic, and yet I dare to say that there
would have been more sanctity and good
morals displayed in its fulfillment than
at most so called church picnic*;, where
the principal object in view for priest
or pastor is revenue for the institution,
medieval faddist and crankology.

Business is now at its lowest ebb and
it 's no use kicking. We have no ocean
vessel trade, or only an occasional order,
and then it must be wired to New York
with the full confidence that our corre-
spondents will try to fill the order, but
with some trepidation lest there will be a
missing link somewhere. There are more
than ten steamers sailing out of Buffalo
every day, besides schooners, barges and
numerous other craft, and they carry
lots of people, but no flowers are sent
them as they leave the muddy waters of
Buffalo Creek. Their friends know, of
course, that although they cannot get
the equal in quality (?), they can get
common flowers in Erie. Cleveland, De-
troit, Sault Ste. Marie. Milwaukee or
i bdeago if they go to any of those
places, and if they go to the far west-
ern end of the big lake, then Duluth can
supply the simple roses that will be
wanted!

To the Convention.

I had one lone friend ask the water
route he could take in the ride to Mil-
waukee. Some people have the bump of
geography but poorly developed. If
they only have enough to eat and drink
around them, they are not interested in
the point.", of the compass or the relative
positions of big rivers, lakes, states or

cities. They trust to other people's look-
ing out for those things, and they are
below, or above, their consideration. Mil-
waukee is on the west side of Lake Mich-
igan, eighty miles north of Chicago,
which is almost at the foot of the lake.
The big, fine steamers sailing from Buf-
falo go to Cleveland, Detroit and Du-
luth. To get down to Milwaukee from
the big steamers Northland and North-
west, you would have to change or rath-
er take another steamer at the Straits of
Mn-kinac and then sail 200 miles or

more south on Lake Michigan along the
shores of Wisconsin before you reached
the familiar smell of hops. "This would
be lovely with a young bride, likewise
an old one, but it is good only for those
who have nothing else to do, or nothing
but their time to spend. And again, I
take the liberty to say that a really
pleasant way from the east to Milwaukee
is to take the Detroit boat at Buffalo on
Sunday evening at 5:30, arriving at De-
troit at about 8 or 9 o'clock Monday
a. m., join the Detroit boys in thei]
journey across their beautiful state to
the shores of Lake Michigan, and then
another lake ride into Milwaukee, arriv-
ing there early on Tuesday. And possibly
the same steamer calls at Chicago, but if
it does not, you will only have escaped
some temptations "too awful to speak
of." W. S.

KANSAS CITY.

No Show This Year.
Kansas City will not have a flower
show tins fall. The executive committee
of Convention Hall has been considering
the question, but when a number of citi-
zens, who had supported the show liber-
ally in the past, were asked to subscribe
again, the success met with was insig-
nificant compared with that of 1901 and
1902, as they had all been heavy losers
in the flood. The abandonment of the
flower show for this year, according to
Fred S. Doggett, president of the Con-
vention Hall directory, does not mean
thai no flower shows will be held in the
future, as the expectation is that next
year a bigger show than those of 1901
and 1902 will be held. The flower show
will be continued as a permanent affair
and. barring another flood or some other
calamity, it will be held each year in the
big hall, and we will be glad to see all
tli" growers come and win our prizes.

Various Notes.

The stock of roses and carnations is

very poor. Sweet peas are about gone

and gladioli have been of great assist-

~ome good asters are now

there is nothing doing except funeral

The gladiolus time has come and this
flower is "king for a day" and prob-
ably for several weeks, with asters i.nd
dahlias laying claim to sovereignty and
the quantity of shipments growing con-
stantly until the flooding of the market
is inevitable. At the

from Cowee and Childi
A general condition of
hope prevails in both w
tail trades. Of good floi
there is not an oversupply and the out-
look is encouraging.

Newport's season to date is a brilliant
one, and is yet in its infancy. Daily
shipments to this great center of fash-
ion and fads, and artistic competition
among the "400" or "600" are large
and increasing. The best is none too
good for the lavish displav made there,
and Siebrecht & Son, Wadley & Smythe
and J. Hodgson, are reaping a bounteous
harvest. All report the best season to
date of their experience.

Various Notes.

The suggestions made as to bowling
prizes in our last issue meet with general
approbation and I have no doubt Mi.
Pollworth has had many interesting do-
nations from leading firms for the pur-
pose, which he will announce.

Anything that can be suggested look-
ing to a division of the crowd that will
journey from New- York to the conven-
tion, via the West Shore Railroad seems
singularly inopportune at this late date,
when it is realized that the real charm of
the trip is in its associations, and in the
fact that a sufficient number insures
special accommodations clear through to
Milwaukee without change of cars. It
is true the fare and a third can be se-
cured from other roads, but thereby
changes of cars become necessary, and
after the New York Club has officially
selected a road, and after this road has
provided specially for its patrons, even
to the sending of an official chaperon, it
would seem best that all should harmon-
iously unite in making the social feature
of the trip an . assured consummation,
which with a divided delegation will be
an impossibility. The call for berths
made to Mr. Sheridan has been very en-
couraging already, however, and the at-
tendance, as is always the case in our
yearly journevings. will be larger than
anticipated. We left here forty-nine
strong for Asheville last year. We
should certainly double that when the
noses are counted on Sunday, August 16,
at 1 p. m., at which hour our special
leaves for the "City of Inspiration."

The Milwaukee Club's souvenir has
arrived and is a beautiful production,
■ rod it able to the club and to the artistic
publisher, Mr. Pollworth, a brother of
the society's vice-president. The sending
of this work by mail so long in advance
is most unusual and commendable, and
its influence should add largely to the

attendance at the convention, while its
value as an advertising medium is great-
ly enhanced and it cannot fail to be of
service to its patrons. Milwaukee, judg-
ing by its buildings and pleasure resorts
and parks, must be an ideal convention
city and the society will have no cause to
regrel the enthusiastic majority that de-
cided in its favor.

Mr. James, of Bermuda, the Harnsii
lily grower, left on Saturday for his isl-
and home.

The bulb houses here are rejoicing in
the break of the foreign hyacinth market
and the establishing at last of a basis
for prices that makes intelligent quota
tions and sales a possibility. Talking
of "breaks," the smash in the stock
market affected seriously some of the
best patrons of the horticulturists, losses
aggregating millions having fallen upou
some of them, men whose country homes
and estates are marvels of landscape ef-
fects and plantings. It is much to the
credit of the florists themselves that no
wings have been scorched and no invest-
ments made by any of the speculative
among them that have been on the
wrong side of the market. Real estate
seems to be the florists ' specialty any-
way, and several of the leaders have ac-
quired independence thereby, so that their
florist interests have become simply a
pastime.

There will be a fall flower show this
year that promises great things and the
facilities for its accomplishment have
never been equalled. The new Herald
Square Exhibition Hall, when1 the show
is to be held, is on the top floor of the
new Macy building at Thirty-fourth
street ami Broadway, a hall with double
the square feet of space for exhibits
that the immense Madison Square build-
ing afforded. A dozen passenger ele-
vators running directly to the hall, an
acre of glass and a magnificent dome,
with every convenience known to mod-
ern architecture, a superb and contin-
uous lighting system and a perfect loca-
tion all combine in making it the ideal
exhibition hall of the country. Mr. Her-
rington is to be congratulated on the
work he has accomplished and the splen-
did accommodations provided for the so-
ciety of which he has the honor to be
president. Seventy thousand square feet
of space will give ample room for the
greatest palm, and plant exhibit ever
made in America.

The great subway in New York ap-
proaches completion. The demoraliza-
tion of the streets and the destruction
of trees and shrubbery has been com-
plete. Such hopeless desolation can
only be imagined. But before another
year all the former beauty, from a hor-
ticultural standpoint, is to be restored.
The park department will have charge
of the restoration, and we will then
hope to restore to the metropolis its old
time name of "the Paris of tin- New
"World. ' '

In my last I mentioned the fact that
one of the eastern exhibitors at the con-
vention would send a car load of his
wares. I should have said several of
them. It is surprising how many will
be there "with the goods" and' what
quantities are already on the way. Sie-
brecht & Son and Reed & Keller each
have a car load in transit. Everybody is
sending early, much earlier than usual.
It is a good idea. Xow Tuesday morn-
ing in Milwaukee will see everything in
apple pie order and an attentive business
opening is thereby assured.

Henry Siebrecht, Jr., is in Kentucky

on his way via Detroit to Milwaukee,
where he will superintend the exhibit of

the firm. Nearly everybody is, has 1 n,

or will be away for his, or her, annual
rest and recreation. Few will be left in
this generous system of the leading
wholesale and retail houses of the trade.
With coats of tan on the proprietors and
their assistants and new coats of paint
on the stores generally, as is the annual
custom, the first of September should
see everybody ready for what in this
strenuous age will surely be the best
flower season of the century.

The New York Cut Flower Co. is add-
ing to its room and conveniences, and
the "Beauty King" says it will be "the
greatest fall and winter in the flower
business we have ever seen."

All the supply houses here are very
busy and many of them are already in
receipt of their importations. Nearly
all of them will make fine displays at
Milwaukee. Sigmund Geller has a space
of 200 feet secured there and will ex-
hibit many novelties of his European
purchases, among them some unique de-
signs in vases and ornaments of the lat-
est styles. On his trip he visited Italy,
France, Switzerland, Austria and Ger-
many, reaching home on July 9. He has
a variety of waterproof paper that will
surely be popular. As a reward for duty
well done and safe return, Mrs. Geller
presented him last Tuesday with a fine
boy, the first visit of the stork to his
home, and now business is sure to boom.

The Ozone Park nurseries have at
Ozone Park, N. Y., a manager well
known to the trade, Mr. C. B. Knick-
man, and they commence business with
the good wishes of his many friends.
They are devoting forty acres to the
growing .jf fancy nursery stock, making
roses their specialty. The firm has
nearly 100,000 ruses already planted,
ami have contracted for extensive work
in tin laying out of private estates. The
other members of the firm are Charles
Iflinger and Edwin Weber. Long Island

but the field is wide and there is
room for all. The fine nursery already
established at Queens by C. W. Ward,

of the Cottage Gardens, L. I„ is n t-

ing with exceptional encouragement and
the demand for his high-class stock and
specimens is already far in excess of
the supply. Mr. Ward is recuperating at
present in New Hampshire, with his
family, and hopes to be at the i men-
tion.

John Hildebrandt, of John Young's
staff, left on Saturday for his vacation,
as did A. Dacre, of Young & Nugent 's.

Fred J. Bleeher, of the Thomas J.
Young, Jr. 's, forces, has beeu entertain-

departed for Saratoga, Cleveland and
Chicago and will be the guest of Mr. and
Mrs. B. B. Preble while in Cleveland.
Mr. Smith, of Smith & Fetters, of that
city, is now in New York, after a visit
to his old home in Bridgeport, Conn.

Robert Rennison, of Wadley & Smythe,
had a very unique contract on Monday

in Greenv, I, the lining of a grave with

pink and white mses and the complete
covering of the plot with the same flow-
ers, witli a groundwork of Clematis pani-

The Weekly Florists' Review.

The Market.

The good rains of last week ha il a
beneficent effect on all outdoor stock and
livened things up wonderfully. There
was also a welcome change in the tem-
perature, the last few nights being very
cool. The summer trade is about as
usual. The past week it was fairly
good on account of funeral work, which
seemed to be pretty well distributed
among the retailers. The market here
has its ups and downs; one day there is
plenty of everything in the market and
the next day everything seems scarce.
White flowers have the greatest call and
very often all colored stock is left over
for want of demand.

The roses that came in last week
showed the effects of the hot weather
that we have been having, and the bulk
of them are very poor indeed. Of these.
Bride and Kaiserin sell the best, with
Golden Gate and Bridesmaid next in or-
der. There is not much call for red
roses just now. The price is not over
$5 per 100 when good. A few fairly
good American Beauties from young
stock are in the market and sell well.
Asters are becoming more plentiful eaeli
week and will soon rival the sweet peas
of a few weeks ago. The bulk of tliein
are very small and do not sell so well as
the larger ones. Good ones go at $1.50
per 100. Tuberose stalks are coming in
better and are very much in demand at
present. Armstrong's Everblooming arc
the best sellers. There are plenty of
gladioli at the wholesale houses, but the
demand is somewhat slow and a great
many of them are going to waste. A.
Berdan's valley is very fine and the
demand good. Hydrangeas are in at
$4 per 100 for the large heads and $2
and $3 for the smaller ones. Good
smilax has been in good demand rigl r
along, with the supply only fair. This
sells at the regular price.

Various Notes.

"During the past week everybody was
talking of the good time he had at the
club's recent picnic and complimented
the committee on the way it handled
the affair. Those who did not go were
sorry after reading the account and
hearing the compliments passed.

Only two weeks more and we will be
among friends whom we are all glad
to meet. No doubt Brother Pollwortl.
and his colleagues have everything in
readiness to give us a good time. State
Vice President Juengel says St. Louis is
going thirty-five strong. Everybody who
can possibly go should send his or her
name to Mr. Juengel. As St. Louis is
out for the next meeting, during our
great World's Fair, we should have a
large delegation at Milwaukee.

Ionsky's place at Wellston. Take the

The Kalish boys on Delmar boulevard
are making some good improvements on
their place for next fall's trade. Both
of the boys will take in the Milwaukee

Mr. Gorley, on Fifteenth street and

ments on his store. The new show house

Gorley says business has been good with
him the past season.

Henry Berning is making prepara-
tions to move about August. 15 into his
new place at 1402 Pine street, which is
much larger than the old an 1 has a bet-
ter light. This will make the third lime
that this store has been occupied as a
wholesale house, first by William Ellison
and later by F. M. Ellis.

Mrs. The'o. Miller and daughter will
return this week from their six weeks'
stay in Europe, and Theodore is happy,
as he says this bachelor life is not what
it is cracked up to be. Mr. Miller is put-
ting in a large new ice box, which' .-ill
put him in good shape fo- ihe coming
season.

C. C. Sanders has just finished build-
ing a new residence for the help at his
place on the Henly road. Mr. Sanders
has some of the finest young nursery
stock about here, which will make good
this fall when (he big orders come in.

R. J. Mohr has left the employ of the
landscape department at the World's
Fair grounds. Mr. Mohr is out with a
new enterprise. He will take care of
any of the exhibits in plants, trees or
seeds that come to the fair. He can be
addressed in my care.

H. M. Earl, who represents the seed
house of W. Atlee Burpee & Co., Phil-
adelphia, was a visitor last week, as was
young Mr. Siebrecht. of Siebrecht & Son,
of New York. Both of these firms exnect
to make his displays at the World 's Fair
next year and were here selecting space

SAN FRANCISCO.

The Market.

Good flowers are really scarce. I have
not seen any first-class roses or carna-
tions for the last week. Everything
appears to be off crop and there is a
very fair demand for indoor stock.
Prices are about the same as they have
been for the last two months and any-
thing good is very easy to dispose of.
First-class American Beauty roses are
not to be had, and Maid and Testout are
all weak and wobbly. Some fairly good
Kaiseiins are seen and they bring 50
to 75 cents per dozen, which is a very
fair price for summer. I spoke to-day
to one of our most successful carnation
growers and he told me he had not cut
ten dozen good Lawsons in the last ten
weeks. Sievers & Boland have a very
nice showing of fancy carnations; about
the best in town, I think. Shibeley is
exhibiting some very fine Estelle and
Flora Hill. We will have plenty of
long-stemmed asters in a few days, how-
ever, and they will fill a long-felt want.

Various Notes.

Chas. E. Navlet, of the C. E. Navlet
Company, of San Jose, has been sued
by his wife, in the Superior Court here,
to recover property valued at niore than
$25,000. Judge Murasky issued an in-
junction restraining Mr. Navlet from
doing anything further with the prop-
erty pending the trial.

A visit to the nurseries of E. Gill, at
West Berkeley, at this time of the year
is an interesting sight. They are in the
middle of their budding season and one
block of roses covering about thirty-five
acres and containing about a quarter of
a million stocks to be budded is in splen-
did shape. About eight budders are at
work and it will be about the middle of
August before the ground is covered com-
pletely. The demand for budded roses
for forcing purposes is greater than ever
and already a large part of next sea-
son's stock is sold, to be delivered dur-
ing the coming autumn. This firm also
has about thirty acres devoted to orna-
mental and deciduous trees and several
acres to greenhouse and smaller shrub-
bery.

R. P. Jennings, the well-known hor-
ticulturist, has received the following let-
ter from J. H. Bingham, Assistant Sec-
retary of Agriculture: "Appreciating
most highly the itinerary arranged by
you for the German agriculturists, the
Department of Agriculture extends to
you its most cordial thanks for the effi-
cient, successful and hospitable manner
in which as many of the resources of
California in agriculture, horticulture
and forestry as the time would allow
were brought to the attention of this
party. We congratulate you on impress-
ing them with the magnitude, liberality
and hospitality of your state. " G.

WASHINGTON.

Death in a Fire.
Fire I coke out in the home of David

Bissett, the largest violet grower in this
neighborhood, at noon August 2. In the
course of an hour this place ami the ad-
joining residence was totally destroyed,
.Mr. Bissett 'a two-year-old daughter
Florence perishing in the burning house.
Mr. Bissett 's sister-in-law was prepar-
ing dinner, and was lighting the oil
stove, when an explosion occurred, set-
ting the kitchen on fire in an instant.
Mrs. Bissett was lying ill up stairs. As
soon as she heard the screams of her sis-
ter she arose with her infant child in her
arms and made for the lower floor. The
other two children were with her in her
room, but owing to her weak condition,
she was unable to take ;hem with her.
A niece of Mr. Bissett ran to the bed
room, which by that time was filled with
smoke, but could only find the three-
year-old daughter. Choked with smoke
she made for the door, when she heard
the heart-rending appeal : ' ' Lassie, take
me with you ! " It was too late. Over-
eome by the smoke, she had barely time
to escape with the older child. Mr. Bis-
sett and neighbors made several ■>'
tempts to save the other little one, but
were driven back by smoke. The money
loss will amount up to $10,000, and Mr.
Bissett was insured only to the amount
of $2,500. Mrs. Bissett is in a serious
condition. She was moved to a neigh-
bor's house and attended to by Dr.
Lewis, of :vensington. Mr. Bissett lias
the heartfelt sympathy of the craft and

OMAHA.

The

among other

past week saw,
things, the third animal florists' picnic,
held under the auspices of the Nebraska
Florists' Society, at Courtland Beach,
East I taaha. The attendance was large
and the affair successful from every
point of view. Supper was served at
7 p. m.. after which a match game of
ten pins was rolled. The ladies of the
party rolled also, but the pins here did
not fall very rapidly, quite in contrast
to the teams of Henderson and Floth. A
special vaudeville show was given later
in the evening, and by 11:15 the various
parties were home bound.

Trade is very quiet. Carnations, ow-
ing to extreme hot weather, are almost
out of business, but the rose supply keeps
up very well. Outdoor flowers are con-
spicuous only by their absence, a condi-
tion very unusual in Omaha. Prices all
around are a trifle better than a year
ago.

A very severe hail storm passed over
the northern portion of the city July 28.
Hess & Swoboda's plant seemed to re-
ceive the bulk of it. Their loss is about
3,000 feet of glass. The range of A.
Donaghue, about 1,000 feet south of the
former, lost about 1,500 feet.

Paul B. Floth is pushing the erection
of his six new houses.

.J. W. Arnold is confined to his bed
through a stroke of paralysis.

Miss Reba McNamara, of J. W. &
E. E. Arnold, is away on her vacation.

themselves to the lakes for fresh air

It is almost time to get your railroad
tickets for .Milwaukee. Two more weeks
and the great convention will be in full
blast. There is an inner feeling that
t he crowd will be a record breaker. Mil-
waukee, famous for its many products, is
one of the most talked of towns on the
continent. Milwaukee, meaning ' ' gath-
ering by the river,'7 was a favorite spot
for the Indians in the early part of the
last century, but is now a flourishing and
metropolitan city of over 300,000 inhab-
itants. Uigust 18 to 21 it will be ttie
gathering place for the florists to hold
their council and exchange greetings.
The lo.al tribe will open the wigwams
and extend a hearty greeting to the
era ft. The spacious convention hall will
be the center of attraction and exhibits
are already arriving for the great dis-
play. The exhibits in all classes are
numerous, and the great advertising signs
encircling the balcony will always con-
front you. Fred Holton, to whom the
task was alloted of caring for the trade
display, is now busy arranging space
for the exhibitors.

Mayor David S. Rose will welcome the
florists on behalf of the city. The even-
ing of the president's reception will af-
ford an excellent opportunity of renew-
ing acquaintance. An exceptional musi-
cal program is also arranged for that
evening. Wednesday is bowlers' day
and the Olympia alleys are now being put
in the best possible condition for this
special event. Thev are perfect and a
lively time is anticipated during the
tournament. The writer would suggest,
to keep up the friendly spirit that has

and to avoid any possible friction, leave
out the loaded ball. It is the glory of
winning a prize and not its value, so let
all be on an equal footing

TORONTO.

The Market.

Weather and trade during the
wek have been of the average
variety. Carnations, we note, are run-
ning off, while some good roses from
young stock are coming, and asters, sweet
peas and other outdoor flowers are plenti-
ful. Trade, most of the time, has been
such as to clean up the good stuff, yet
we anticipate an oversupply of asters
during the coming week. Some really
fine ones are coming from R. Jennings,
of Brampton. Sweet peas from Frank
Browne, of Barrie; Lawsou and Flora
Hill carnations from E. Crowhurst, of
Mimico; longitlorum lilies from W. J.
Lawrence, of Eglinton; Brides and
Maids from the Toronto Floral Company,
and Kaiserin roses from W. Bowers, are
all good.

Notes.

II. G. Dillemuth, of Duulop's, has re-
turned to duty. The florists' trade of
Toronto extends sympathy to him in the
sudden death of his father.

The florists of the city were to have
taken a little outing by paying a flying
visit to Hamilton last week, but it was
called oft without any explanation.

J. S. Simmons has sold out the Queen
Floral Co., on Queen street, to R. Col-
lins, who has been for the past few years
gardener for Frederick Nicholls of this
city. We wish him every success in the

BOSTON.

Probably no heavier demand, but a
slack in supply, made business fairly

g 1 during the last week of July, es-

peciallv its first half. The latter part
of the week was financially marred for
the grower by the beginning of the an-
nual reunion of the aster (not Astor)
family. This branch of the noted fam-
ily is more noted for wealth of color
than of stocks and bonds. There are
no John Jacobs in this line.

Everything looks serene on the surface
and I- see no signs of any undercurrent,
unless it may be in regard to prepara-
tions for rose traffic for the coming sea-
son, which looks as though it were to be
expanded to the limit by the activity of
Budlong, of Providence, and the en-
trance into the field of the Worcester
Floral Co., with eight houses, each 300
feet in length. But it is reported that
Budlong mav decide to send his crop to
New York.

The vacation disease seems contagious
and is rapidly spreading. Lawrence
Flynn and Bernard McGinty are taking
a few days off, which leaves Welch
Bros.' team just big enough to handle
the summer business. Flynn will pre-
pare for a great rush of fall trade by
bringing back a wife when he returns.
By Messrs. Flynn and McGinty I mean
our old young" friends, Larry and Bar-
ney.

improvements in several city stores
are under way, Wax Bros.' and Calvin's
Baek Bay place particularly.

PITTSBURG.
The Market.

Never had we such a shortage of
flowers in this market as the early part
of last week. The demand was heavy
and all stock was eagerly picked up.
The long drought in the spring and an
almost continuous stretch of rainy and
cold weather of late has had a bad ef-
fect on outdoor stock; very little of
anything good was cut, and outdoor
blooming stock for the market so far
this season is a failure. At this writ-
ing quantities of good asters and glad-
ioli are arriving which can be bought
at one's own figures.

Considerable anxiety prevails as to

inite information about Evergreen and
other late sorts seems to be especially
asked for.

Gems, and some other of the early
wrinkled peas, do not seem to be as

The beneficent results of the govern-
ment free seed distribution are ver\ up

The congressman for the district sends
the bulk of his quota of seeds to a local
politician for distribution "where they
will do the most good." This thrifty in-
dividual holds outthe cabbage and tomato

bage and tomato plants, which are put

Philadelphia, Pa,— The outlook of
some of the seed crops grown in New
Jersey is very discouraging, to say the
least. In Cumberland and Gloucester
counties quite a large acreage is de-
voted to egg plant, tomato, cucumber,
|ie|i|.er, watermelon and iiiiiskniel.oi -eed.
Egg plants show blight to an extent of
twenty-five per cent, with every indica-
tion of its extending still further. Many

ONION SETS AT CHICAGO.
Onion set harvesting continues at
cago. The weather is not as favo]
as it might be, but good progress is
pg made. The crop this yeai si
much variation. There is nol the u
uniformity of the tops drying down
consequently much less i
bushels from a given acres
]y to be a long drawn out harvest and
many fields where a full quantity is ex-
|M-cti'd will disappoint the growers.
Fields that promise to the casual ob-
server an immense crop show by close
inspection a serious defect occasioned l>»
the bulbs not forming. Many patches in
some of the larger fields are wretchedly
thin and in these the yield of sets will
be but a small proportion of the crop.
In other fields the direct opposite is the
case, the stand seemingly having been
too thick to permit more than half the
proper quantity of bulbs to make. It is
of course understood that what have not
now made will be clean waste. The har-
vest thus far gives no promise of the
crop being more than two-thirds of what
is usually harvested at Chicago and it is
more likely to be less than two-thirds of
a normal crop.

BALTIMORE.

There is stillness in the air and the
dullness of trade is nigh absolute. Save
for an occasional funeral order, prac-
tically there is no trade. The early clos-
ing hours of the Charles street florists
are apparently better observed than ever
before. In the past week there have
been further heavy rains, with some hail,
but the weather between is absolutely
perfect.

There is considerable building going
on, besides the customary alterations and
improvements. Julius Tischinger is
building four houses near Grovanstown,
and his old establishment is being ad-
vertised for rent.

The boiler men have been in evidence
lately, and have booked numerous orders,
the Lord & Burnham Co. being very for-
tunate in this regard.

E. Holden, whose skill is eminent as a
grower of forced vegetables, has com-
pleted his dwelling and a mushroom
house on his new place near Paradise.

John Cook, the rose grower and origi-
nator, continues his labor of love, and
has many candidates under observation.
He has a house planted with some 500 of
one of his newer varieties, a bright crim-
son rose, with fine, long stems and pro-
liti- in flowering, a cross between Liberty
a] ' • c of his own pink seedlings.

The contract for hyacinth and tulip
bulbs for the public parks was awarded
to Frederick (!. Berger, who had no com-
petition.

There seems to be little interest so far
in the Milwaukee convention. So far as
known, Charles L. Seybold, superintend-
ent of Patterson Park, is the only one
who has absolutely decided to attend.

The Market.
The prices of cut flowers remain the
same as last quoted, with a slight in-
crease in quantity, and with the quality
improving "ii account of tne cool wea*tner
of the past week. Some nf the growers
are sending in roses from the young
plants, and they are a welcome relief,
being much larger and better than those
cut from the old plants, even if the stems
are shorter. Carnations are things of
the past, asters taking their place, and

some very g I white, pink and lavender

are seen: Sweet peas are getting short

neral work. Auratum lilies have been in
good demand, and are used in almost
every design sent out.

There is a great deal of talk about
going to the convention, and if they all
stick to what they say. we will be well
represented. Among those who will
surely be found there are Mr. and Mrs.
L. Warlike, Mr. and Mrs. A. Sehmitt,
George Smith, of Smith & Son; Isaac
Kennedy. A. Graham, John Merkel and
Carl Hagenburger.

C. M. Wagner has returned from a

THE NEWER ROSES.

In the recent "rose numlier" of the
Gardeners' Magazine the following in-
teresting paragraphs are found:

Taking the newer hybrid teas alpha-
betically, we first have Duchess oi Port-
land, which has flowers of a distinct
shade of sulphur-yellow; they arc also oi
full ~i/c, fine form, and freely produced.
Conrad Strassheim, flesh white, suffused
rose at the margin, appears to be well
deserving of a trial. Frau Peter Lam-
bert is said to be a pink KLuiserin Au-
gusta Victoria, and

to b(

the case it

witb carmine, arc a trio well worth; of
a trial. Mildred Grant is a variety
raised by Messrs. A. Dickson & Sons,
of Newtownards, and lias exceptional
merits. The flowers are very large and
globular, with deep center, full, and
with handsome petals; the color is a
rich cream, suffused with pale rose. It
has received the gold medal of the N.
E. S., and has on several occasions been
selected for the award of a silver medal
aa the best rose in the show. Perle Von
Godesberg should be a valuable addition,
for it is' said to be a golden-yellow sport
from Kaiserin Augusta Victoria. It is
in' German origin, and should be looked
for among new roses.

Foremost among the teas of recent in-
troduction is the exquisitely-colored
Lady Roberts. The flowers are of full
size, finely formed, and the color i~ a
combination of salmon-buff and copper

for indoor decorations. As evidence of
the merit of the variety, it may be men-

gin, the variety i- dese
Souvenir de Pierre Notting is an im-
mense train to the exhibition teas, and
will probably be well represented in
trade collections at the various exhibi-
tions. The blooms are large and of
superb form, and the color is a rich
golden-yellow, suffused with apricot.
Last year the National Rose, Society
awarded a gold medal in favor of this
variety, a distinction which has been
conferred upon it at several French ex-
hibitions. Poadieea is a lovely variety,
the flowers large and full, with high
center; the color peach, shaded with
pink and rose.

The Weekly Florists' Review.

KALAMAZOO. MICH.

During the past month trade has been
quiet, with the exception of funeral
work, which has been fairly plentiful.
Eoses have been of good quality and
have held up wonderfully, even during
the warm spell, but are rather scarce.
This, however, will not be the case in a
week or two, when the young stock be-
gins to give a crop. The young stock <-
looking particularly well, Beauties being
especially fine.

Carnations in the field are healthy
and stocky and are in fine condition for
benching. Planting is being pushed along
vigorously and if the weather continues
favorable the work will be finished much
earlier than in former years.

The Van Bochove Bros, have finished
their new block and are planting it to
carnations. This brings them close to
the 100,000 feet mark.

The Dunkley Floral Co. has just about
finished planting carnations. They con-
template rebuilding and remodeling their
propagating house this fall.

According to present reports there will
be quite a contingent from here to attend
the convention. E.

as low as 20 degrees below zero. We
also have a rose house 18x44, and would
like to know how many 2-inch hot-water
pipes should be painted with sulphur to
keep down mildew ? 1). H. II.

It will be necessary to have more pal
i ii ul. ii - .i- to the glass surface in the
several houses in order thai an intelligent
reply may be given. A sketch should be
made showing arrangement of roofs and
sidrs, showing what is glass and what is
solid wall: also a rough ground plan
showing the relation of the houses to
each other and boiler cellar and arrange-
ment of benches and paths. For ch ickirjg
mildew in rose houses one 2-inch pipe un-
der each bench may lie painted, at first
with the sulphur, and if not found suf-
ficient more can lie painted later. The
prompt effectiveness of the sulphur paint
on hot-water pipes depends upon the
temperature of the pipes; therefore, if
strong firing is being done a less number
of painted pipes will be necessary than
if very slow tiring is being done.

PIPING SMALL HOUSE.

1 have a greenhouse 20x40 feet, having

glass in one end and on side walls. The

heater has four flows and four retur/s,

2-inch. How shall I pipe the house?

For heating the greenhouse described

to a night temperature of liO to 65 de-
grees, seventeen lines of 2-ineli pipes will
be required. The distribution of this
surface would lie five pipes under each
side bench, two flows and three returns
under each, and one eoil of seven pipes
under flu- center bench, three flows run-
ning undeT the east side of tl enter

bed near the edge, and four returns undei
the west side. A 2-inch How and return
main from the boiler to each of the three
coils will be ample.

MISCELLANEOUS
SEASONABLE HINTS.

Firing in Summer.

A seasonable hint, but slightly infring-
ing on the territory so ably niirml by
• ' Ribes, ' ' who, I know, will forgive me,
is the question of firing during the sum-
mer months, particularly for roses. To
be reminiscent a moment, and let my
memory go back fifty years, more or
less, in the salubrious climate of the
south coast of England, between the
South Downs and the English Channel,
where the summer days are seldom so
warm as what we know as " a hot day, ' '
but where the nights in June, July and
August seldom go below 60 degrees, fir-
ing is never dropped in the houses that
contain palms, tropical ferns, orchids,
or in the pineapple house or forcing
graperies. True, perhaps they get more
cloudy days, but what have we had this
year for the past two months? Eain at
least every other day or night, a hot
day very occasionally and within twenty-
four hours a temperature at 10 p. m. of
12 degrees above freezing. It may be
lower in the still grey hours before the
dawn, but we don 't know that, for we
always retire at 10 p. m. promptly (?).

About, the first of June, or during a
spell of a few warm days and nights,
out go the fires in the rose houses and so
they remain until the middle of Septem-
ber. Mildew is the result and it remains
with you until you put on steam again.
Perhaps with good, vigorous young stock
planted in June this is not such a serious
matter, and I have even heard a most
excellent rose grower say that he rather
liked to see a crop of mildew in Septem-
ber. Although good grower that he is,
I scarcely think he is right. But what
about those you have carried over for a
summer crop, Beauties and Brides and
Bridesmaids.' Millions of buds are
spoiled by the mildew. Not only is the
bud a poor apology for a rose, but the
foliage on which so much of the beauty
rests, the setting for the flower, is a
grey, wrinkled, unsightly excuse. There
f may have been summers, and I hope
many more will be, when June, July and
August will be steady, warm weather,
but for the past two seasons it would
have richly paid any rose grower to keep
the fires alight all summer at midnight,
or on dull, cool days to have turned on
one pipe of steam. And for obvious
reasons, the larger the place the better it
would pay.

A little steam heat and the ventilators
open is not raising the temperature but
very little. It is only causing a circu-
lation of air and preventing a stagnant
dampness settling on the foliage. Next
summer, in my small way, the fire will
never go out. The slight cost of fuel
and the fireman 's wages will be paid
back fourfold by the clean, pretty flow-
ers that will result. This may nut apply
to all our northern states so much as it
does to northern New York, Pennsyl-
vania and the lake region. I think I
have quoted before today the remark of
our esteemed friend, J. A. Valentine, of
Denver, who said: "We never let our
fires out the year around." That is sim-

ply because the nights in Denver are
cool. They can't raise corn (maize)
there, and from recent observations I
notice that even young people are mar-
ried two years before they rejoice in
the blessings of a boy or girl, mostly
girl.

Rooting Coleus.

In another column I recommended to
an inquirer to throw away his coleus if
infested with mealy bug, but now is the
time that you can select a few dozen
cuttings of the varieties you want from
out of doors, that are, or should be, per-
fectly clean. They will root in a few
days in a box of sand and before real
cold weather can be bushy little plants
in 4-inch pots. A few dozen of this size
will give you far more cuttings than as
many hundred cuttings put in just before
the frost kills the bedding plants. Gen-
erally speaking, in these truly soft-wood-
ed plants, the larger the plant the lower
the temperature it will endure.
Cyclamen.

I have lately seen more than one very
poor lot of cyclamen, and some not far
from home. It was the old story — per-
manent shade and a long way from the
ventilation. If you have made that mis-
take up to date.'don't do it for the next
two months. Good cyclamen should be
now in 6-inch pots, or perhaps you are
about to shift. Use two-fourths g I

ks and live continually in a cellar

a to expect health in these cyclamen

Seasonable Hints.

To properly prepare young stock to
successfully bear the first crop will now
require some time and care. The stock
must be healthy, vigorous and of a rea-
sonable size before we allow a crop to
develop, otherwise the deprivation of so
much of the foliage necessary in cutting
long stems will weaken their vitality and
cause a growth of blind wood.

Proper care in removing the lateral
shoots is also necessary. When removing
the laterals from young stock prepara-
tory for a first cut it is best not to re-
move those near the base of the stem,
as these will eventually make good flower
stems. This, however, is frequently prac-
ticed to the detriment of the plant in
order to secure a few inches more of
stem and so secure the highest price go-
ing, but the experienced grower knows
that this is poor policy.

As the plants at that time are far
from having attained their full growth,
each flower stem should be cut not with
the object of getting it as long as possi-
ble, but with the definite purpose of im-
proving the size and form of the bush,
and with the view of enhancing its future
productiveness, when the demand will be .
brisker and prices rule higher.

When taking the first cut, to balance
the plants in form those stems which are
longest and strongest should be cut so
that three or four eyes with full devel
oped leaves are left, each one of these
being capable of developing a good
flower stem. On the weaker growth two
eyes will be quite sufficient, they being
only able to maintain and perfect that

loam, one-fourth rotted dairy
one-fourth leaf mold, and if you have it,
add a little old crushed mortar. Plunge
them into tobacco stems on some bench
when- they -get the fullest light in a
small house running east and west that
has plenty of ventilation. If not that,
then a frame with the sash raised back
and front, and spray finely every bright
morning. But the greatest thing of all
is to shade with cheese cloth or lath
during the hot, bright hours and no shade
whatever on dull days, or up to 10 a. m.
and after 4 p. m. on the brightest days.
You may as well expeet to have rosy

number with strength enough to form a
good flower stem. All abortive and mal-
formed flowers should be cut with the
same regard as perfect flowers, leaving
the desired number of eyes on the stem.
Golden Gate and Ivory, having an in-
clination to produce a thicket of small,
weak wood at this season, will benefit
greatly by having it judiciously thinned
out, thus allowing a freer circulation of
air among the foliage and giving more
sunlight to the yet unbroken eyes.

CARNATION NOTES-EAST.

Stem Rot.

It mav be truly said that carnation
growers "in this section have labored un-
der peculiar conditions this summer.
With an extremely dry period at the
start and just the reverse for the greater
part of the real growing period, ;i :

surprising

hear of the

havoc

wrought by stem-rot.

In comparing reports it seems that cer-
tain varieties have suffered badly with
some growers while with others the same
varieties are lifting iu good health, very
few plants being missing. It is obvious
then that it is not the tendency of the
variety to stem-rot, but that the cause
comes from improper handling or the
existence in the field of soil conditions
or matter unsuitable to the health of the
plants.

Having made numerous inquiries as to
the methods pursued by different grow-
ers in handling the young stock previous
to planting out and finding some who
followed one and others another course,
all claiming a good stand of plants when
transferred to the field, I have been led
to make still further inquiries as to meth-
ods of field preparation. As stated in
previous notes, from the results of ob-
servation, I cannot believe stem-rot to be
a constitutional disease; neither can any
variety, in the full sense of the term, be
said to be inclined that way but rather
that some varieties are more susceptible
to it than others.

I cannot credit the romantic theory
that stem-rot has its birthplace in the
cutting bench, clinging to the plant dur-
ing its life in a pot or flat inside, still
lingering about until it is nearly or quite
full grown, then striking a death blow.
Stem-rot may develop in the propagating
sand, but its effect will soon be shown
or healthy conditions repel its advance.

The use of fungus laden soil, or that
too rich in animal manure, for potting
young stock has been known to bring on
"the trouble, but I venture to say few

growers there are

who are not alive

to the importance of proper soil and
quarters for their young stock.

In the field is where the evil effect of
the cause is shown and I believe cause
and effect are not very far apart in the
culture of carnations. The same weather
conditions which produce growth of
plants also promote the growth of fungous
diseases; that is heat and moisture, but
excessive moisture gives to fungi an ad-
vantage, while to plants it acts as a
check. Thus the door is open for disease
to enter.

As fungi are ever present in soil con-
taining decaying vegetable or animal
matter, is it not reasonable to suppose
that stable manure, often obtained from
an unknown source, may contain danger-
uus fungi? I have frequently noticed
stem-rot to be more prevalent on heavily
or recently manured land than on land
that has produced a hoed crop the year
previous.

Mt experience this year has proved to
my satisfaction that the field should if
possible be prepared two years in ad-

vance. Manure and plow in the spring
of the first year, planting to a hoed crop,
such as potatoes, and cultivate thorough-
ly. Plow again in late fall, leaving as
rough as possible. Another plowing in
spring followed by the harrowing or rak-
ing in of a liberal coat of wood ashes
gives the soil ample fertility and reduces
liability of objectionable fungi.

This is the method I have followed and
which was advised in my notes of March
26, with the result of a'loss of less than
five per cent by stem-rot. The results of
indoor culture by the compromise method
explained in previous notes will
attention next week.

MAKING A BEGINNING.

My carnations were planted in the
benches May 1, in new-, unglazed houses,
using about six parts of good blue
grass sod and some subsoil to one part
of well rotted cow manure, with a good

sprinkling of lime worked in. The va-
rieties are Lawson, America, White
Cloud, .loost and Kohinoor. The stock
has been well cultivated and watered
as it needed water. When shall I glaze
the houses and when would a mulch or
feed be desirable? What is a good for-
mula of bone meal to use and at what
intervals? Starter.

I would not be in a hurry to glaze
those new houses if the plants are mak-
ing satisfactory growth. The greatest
trouble with planting carnations on
raised benches outside is that they dry
out too rapidly and the plants suffer for
want of water, but if yours have not
suffered in that way they will likely be
growing rapidly now and from now on
they will be making a strong, sturdy
growth which cannot be improved upon
by glazing the houses. The fact that
we advocate early housing so the plants
will make their fall growth inside does
not apply in this case. It is not that
we want them to be making the growth
under glass, but we want them to make
it on the soil on which they are to re-
main all winter and become so much
better established. Therein lies the ad-
vantage of early planting. You should
have the houses glazed before any real

frosts happen along, and whatever date
you usually have your first frosts in
your locality you know better than I.
Here it is usually the latter part of
September. You can estimate about
how long it will take you to do the job,
and you can get everything ready, so
you can rush it through when you start.
You can give them a light dressing
of bone at this time with good results.
About a 2U-inch pot full to a row five
to six feet across the bench will be
about right, and work it into the soil,
after which water well. I would fol-
low that at once with about a half inch
of half rotten cow manure, to help
keep the soil from drying out too rap-
idly. The mulch might have been ap-
plied six weeks ago with good results.
This will be all the feed they will need
for some time. A. F. J. Baur.

WATERING FIELD CARNATIONS.

Air. Scott, in a recent Review, gives
a "Seasonable Hint" on ''watering vs.
cultivating" carnations in the field,
taking for his text an artiele of mine
in which I stated that I water my car-
nations in the field "when water is
needed. ' ' Unfortunately my article did
not advocate watering as against culti-
vating, for water will not take the place
of cultivation. But cultivating will not
take the place of watering, either,
' ' when water is needed, ' ' for cultiva-
tion will not produce moisture, as the
immense dams and irrigating ditches of
the west abundantly prove. So when
water is needed, as is the case at times
on my soil, I water my carnations and
they grow and do not rot. I hope no
one will think I am trying to establish a
cast iron rule for carnation growers, re-
gardless of differences of climate, soil,

Mr. Scott seems to ignore the fact
that soil dries out by the water in it
sinking from its own gravity downwards,
as well as by evaporation, and if water
were not applied the soil would dry out
down to bedrock. This is why I say
that cultivation will not produce mois-
ture. If it did the "great American
desert ' ' we used to read of could be
made to blossom like Eden. It may be
true that cultivation, and especially deep
cultivation, owes much of its effective-
ness to the fact that the hose or plow
brings moist soil from below and mixes
it with the dry surface soil. If this
be so will it not explain why cultiva-
tion with a horse implement seems to
be more effective than hand hoeing?

Mr. Baur also pays Ms respects to my
modest article, but from the stem-rot
side of the question. He thinks I do
not agree with his repeated assertions
that frequent cultivation is in most
cases preferable to watering carnations
in the field. I do most emphatically
agree with him on that point, but it was
not of ' ' most ' ' cases I was speaking, but
of my own ease. My soil does not bake.
Being high and light, it dries am r.ipi I-
ly. During a dry spell I water ray car-
nations and, as I have said, they grow
and do not rot. I have looked in vain
in my article to find what Mr. Baur as-
serts" I said, that "frequent watering or
excessive rains will not cause stem-rot."
I have an idea that too much water will
rot any plant not an aquatic. I also
have an idea that with healthy plants,
proper fertilizers in quantities not in ex-
cess of what is needed to produce

healthy growth, good drainage and prop-
er cultivation, a scarcity of rainfall can
be met by judicious watering without
danger of stem-rot.

BEGONIA SEMPERFLORENS.
Please tell me the time to sow the
Begonia seniperflorens to have nice
plants for early spring sales. M. G.

Sow it at once, or at the latest in the
early part of .September. We are often
too late in sowing this variety, and also
in sowing Vernon and several of its
type, which are some of our most pleas-
ant flower garden plants. Sow them
early and keep them in a night temper-
ature of 50 degrees, with the fullest
light during winter, and they make bet-
forced along rapidly. All begonias ex-
cept the Rex species want more daylight
than is usually given them.

ASTER TROUBLES.

I have about a thousand aster plants,
Simple's Branching, planted on a piece
of ground which was first broken last
season. At least three-fourths of them
seem to be turning yellow, as if with
disease. The ground seems to be soft
enough and has been kept stirred. I
can discover no parasites on either roots
or leaves, even with a glass. Can you
suggest what may ail them? Had a few
of the same sort last season, so changed
them to a new place and procured new
seed. P. W. J.

As. P. W. J. can discover no "para-
sites," it is hard to say what the
trouble can be. Wire worm, or the larva
of the May bug, is often most trouble-
some in soil that has been lately brok-
en up from sod, but their work on the
roots would be quickly discovered. The
aster beetle, so troublesome this year,
would merely destroy the shoots and
flowers. Xow, in addition to the beetle
trouble, we have lost quite a percentage
of plants of a batch of Truffaut's peony
flowered aster. We pulled up several
plants and found a good bunch of
healthy roots, but on cutting open the

stem it was black in the center for two
or three inches above the ground. The
plants just wilt and die. The trouble
was a mystery until at last we discov-
ered a small worm that had eaten his
way into the very bottom of the stem
beneath the ground. The worm is about
half an inch long and as thick as a pin
or a little stouter. That, of course, is
the trouble, as the worm had destroyed
the tissue of the stem and all above it
soon decayed and the plant quickly-
died. I don't believe that auy remedy
can be applied this year. The ground is
rich and has grown asters two previous
years. Next spring, after plowing, we
will harrow in a good dressing of air-
slaked lime, and that is all I can recom-
mend P. W. J. to do.

William Scott.

A REMEDY FOR ANTS.

Will your correspondent who recom-
mends sugar and arsenic on bread as a
destroyer of ants please state the propor-
tions he uses in this mixture?

A. S.

We did not make a careful
ment of the mixture, but took about
what arsenic could be picked up on the
point of a pen-knife and, after mixing
with a teaspoon of granulated sugar,
spread on a slice of bread.

POINSETTIAS.

Please tell me about the rooting of
poinsettias; all mine rot. The morning
temperature is about 72 degrees, noon
94, night SO. There is lath on the glass
and one-third the roof is open as well as
the sides and ends. The cuttings are
started in 8-ineh pans in washed plaster-
ing sand; no bottom heat. I can root
them in spring with bottom heat.

Florida.

^ The temperature quoted is most as-
suredly higher than we have been ex-
periencing of late, but that, we think,
should make no difference in rooting this
tropical plant. It is true that they root
easily and surely in the spring when wo
have some bottom heat and a lower day
and night temperature. There is little

doubt that the trouble with our friend
in Florida is simply that he doesn't keep
the sand wot enough. Some fifteen years
ago we made the same mistake ourselves.
Keep the bed saturated. If a bright
day, water twice a day and keep well,
shaded and you will have no trouble in
rooting them. The open sides and ends
of the house I think liable to give them
too much draught and that wilts them.
When rooted and potted be sure to keep
them shaded and not exposed to a
draught for the first week.

CHICAGO TO MILWAUKEE.

Arrangements have been completed
with the Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul

tibule cars, including buffet car, to leave
Chicago from Union Passenger Station,
Canal and Adams streets, at 10 o 'clock
Tuesday morning, August 18. The equip-
ment throughout will be the finest that
the road can furnish. Speeial will arrive
at Milwaukee at 11:50 a. m., three hours
before the time set for the opening of the
convention. Special rate of one fare and a
third for the round trip on certificate
plan has been granted all those attend-
ing the convention. The entertainment
committee has arranged for return move-
ment, Milwaukee to Chicago, by steamer
for those wishing to make the lake trip.
When purchasing your ticket to Milwau-
kee, be sure that it reads via the Chi-
cago, Milwaukee & St. Paul railway, also
ask ticket agent to furnish you with a
certificate receipt, as this insures you a
return ticket at one-third fare.
Important Notice.
Those from a distance traveling via
Chicago must bear in mind that, by what-
ever way they may travel from Milwau-
kee to Chicago after the convention, it
will be necessary to buy return tickets at
Milwaukee to get the one-third fare for
the return journey. Tickets home can-
not oe purchased in Chicago except at
full fare. Those who come to Chicago
without having provided themselves with
tickets to their homes will be compelled
to return to Milwaukee to avail them-
selves of the one-third fare.

Chicago, next week. Building
and rebuilding have delayed replanting
operations, but the place is now all
planted; although a good deal of the
.hied off rose stock has not yet been
started up. It is worth noting]
that there are 230,000 rose plants on
the place, as follows: 60,000
Beauty, 30,000 Maid, 25,000 Bride, 12,-

I'.rle, 20,000 Golden Gate, 30,000

Liberty, 30,000 Chatenay, 12,000 Sun-

La France. There are 175,000 carna-
T i i .ii plants, a good many of them
beni bed long enough to have got a good
start in the new soil. Mr. Reinberg
says he never had better plants at this
season.

The whole north end of the place, the
houses in which Golden Gate was grown
the first year they had it, when it was
such a winner', is given to Mrs. Law-
son. It ought to be a sight about
Thanksgiving time. Then comes the
range, which was rebuilt this year.
'Nine old houses were pulled down and
replaced by eight 27^2x136. By build-
ing with the latest pattern of Garland's
iron gutter, with iron posts, it was pos-
sible to economize two feet of space in
each house, making a gain in bench
room of eighteen feet, or a bench lSx
136. With the gutter cast in eight-foot
lengths there is also a saving of one-
third the posts as compared with the
use of the five-foot gutters. The white
carnations are in this range, and be-
yond them is a splendid lot of Mrs. Nel-

The new range put up this season is
mi the other side of Robey street, and
it is a model of the new style construc-
tion, nine houses 271/2x304, eight and
one-half feet to gutters, fifteen feet to
ridge. There are five four and one half
foot benches in the outside houses, and
four five-foot benches in the other sev-
en. There arc fifty-six ventilators, 3x4
feet, in each house, twenty-eight on
each side of each ridge. The Evans
lifter is used throughout the placet The

new style iron gutter in eight-foot
lengths is used in these houses. It is
only four inches wide at the bottom, by
three deep. The picture of the interior
of the houses shows the gutter perfect-
ly, the posts being so high that the
camera caught nearly a full view of the
under side of the gutter. It is notable
that the purlins are about as much ob-
struction to the light as are the gutters.
Mr. Reinberg says that recent heavy
rains show that amide waterway is pro-
vided by outlets every sixty feet,
through the posts and into the sewer.
Belgian glass was used in part this
year, but the saving in price is fully off-
set by the greater breakage.

Mr. Reinberg built his first house
seventeen vears ago, four small struc-
tures glazed with 10x12 glass. The
first two years he grew lettuce, then
tried a bench or two of carnations, and
after two years more built four more
houses 137 feet long. Since then he has
added to the place pretty nearly every
year, but he has always put in a wall
plate, not a gutter, on the last house,
being fully convinced he would never
build again, but the wall plate has gen-
erally had to come out the next spring.
However, it went in as usual this year.

CYCLAMEN.

Please tell me through the Review if
cyclamen should be set with buds this
early in the season, and if they continue
to throw up leaves after the buds begin
to form. Subscriber.

This will depend on when they were

-.mil It tin' s 1 was sown last October,

or even November, and they have been
grown wit li good care, they should now be

in 6-inch pots and would most certainly
show the flowers nestling on the corm. As
they would be expected to flower by No-
vember, this would not be too soon to see
the flower showing. It takes two or
three months from the time you first see
the flower signs until they are fully ex-
panded. If a few stray flowers are
showing up, then it is a bad sign, indi-
cating that the plants have had a check
in some way. The cyclamen makes a few
leaves at the same time that its flower
stems show above the foliage.

I can't resist adding that a continu-
ous shade or too bright sunshine are
both bad for the cyclamen. Shade when
the sun shines and remove it when it
does not shine, and keep tobacco beneath
them and syringe every bright morning.
There is more in growing cyclamen than
orchids. William Scott.

THAT LITTLE WHITE FLY.

Again comes a communication from S.
('. C, asking for some death dealing
blow to that small white fly or moth that
deposits its eggs on the under side of a
leaf; which they soon eat up. This time
it is fuchsias that it is preying on, but
it is often seen in houses where cucum-
bers, melons or tomatoes are forced. To-
bacco has no effect on it. Fortunately it
is many years since we have seen any
of them, but I feel sure that they would
succumb to the hydrocyanic acid gas, the
formula for which has been very recently
published in the pages of the Review.

The same subscriber also asks: "Tell
me the best remedy for mealy bug.
which is so fatal to coleus. ' ' If this
troublesome insect gets on palms, cro-
tons, a fine stephanotis or plants of value,
then syringe, or still better, sponge with
kerosene emulsion. If it badly infests
coleus, then the most expeditious and in-
expensive cure is to throw away the co-
leus, or better still, burn them.

HEATING SURFACE.

We have four houses, 20x80, three In
carnations and one in roses. The boiler
is of the horizontal, return flue, Scotch
marine high-pressure type, but we fear
a defect in piping, as it does not do the
work. We have 2-inch feed pipes, 1-ineh
in the coils and 1%-inch returns, two
going in on one side of the boiler and
one on the other. In all we have 2.500
to 3,000 feet of pipe.

The boiler is twenty-three horse-power
and will carry 100 pounds pressure, but
by the time we turn on all the houses
we don't have more than five pounds of
steam and in cold weather we cannot
leave the boiler any length of time.

f think a part of his trouble lies in a
shortage of heating surface iu the
houses, as if there is glass on the roof
only, there would be about 7,800 square
feet of glass exposure, which would call
t'oi about 1,100 feet of heating surface,
or roughly about 3,300 lineal feel of

we call them, "sun flowers." I was
careful in buying what I thought was
the best seed. One stalk may be all

In my opinion this is a case of the
aster, through some cultural defect, re-
\erting back to its original form, and
it is not at all uncommon. You may
save seed from the very finest double
flowers, but without good culture many
of them will come as our friend de-
scribes. Some five or six years ago we
had about a quarter acre of Semple's.
Thej grew finely until the middle of
July, when no more rain fell for two
months. Our great expectations took
flight and we did not pick one per cent
of good flowers. We had no means of
watering them and they were a complete

house and ranges or greenhouses and
the balance of seventy-eight pages is de-
voted to details of the various ,'y|es of
construction. It is stated that the cata-
logue cost in the neighborhood of SO
cents a copy, but it will be sent free
to any one who is sufficiently interested
to send G cents to pay the postage.

Convention Preparations.

There is not much left to be said in
regard to the coming convention that
has not previously been told. The local
committee has completed its plans for
the reception of the visitors and it is
now up to the good graces of the weath-
er man and a large attendance to make
it a complete success. The trade ex-
hibit will be a great feature at the con-
vention. Our spacious hall is well filled
and it will be a grand display.

Those interested in the bowling will
find hero excellent facilities, and the
prizes are numerous. A gold medal for
each man on the winning team may be
more satisfactory than cups, for every
man in the winning team will have
something to show for his skill. This,
prize is offered by the Milwaukee Flor-
ists' Club. The C. C. Pollwbrth I om-
pany offers six scarf pins for members
of the second high team. Sargeant's
restaurant offers a gold medal each for
the men making greatest number of
strikes and spares. John Evans offers
:i gold medal for high man in the indi-
\ -idu.-il class. J. P. Wilcox offers a fine
umbrella for highest single score made
during the tournament. The Citizens'.
Business League has voted $25 in prizes,
the awards to be designated by the
bowling committee. Henry Webei trill

DETROIT.

Club Election.

The last regular meeting of the club
was the annual one for the election of.
officers and it resulted in the election of
Bobt. Flowerdayas president; Kobt. Wat-
son, vice-president; B. Sehroeter, treas-
urer, and J. F. Sullivan, secretary.
Everything points to a very successful
year under the administration of the two
' ' Bobs. ' '

Detroit will be represented at Milwau-
kee by about forty delegates, who will
go via the Grand Trunk to Grand Haven,
thence by boat to Milwaukee, arriving
on Tuesday morning at 6:30, and leav-
ing here Monday eveuing at 5 o 'clock.
standard time. Geo. A. Backhaul lias the
transportation in charge and has secured
a special ear, etc., and would like all
florists to join us who can do so. If no-
tified any time before L! p. m. of Monday
he will secure berth on steamer. The
fare from Detroit and return, including
berth, is $9.65. Rag.

PHILADELPHIA.

The Market.

The mountain weather which favored
this city during the early part of the
month had a beneficial effect on flowers.
We really need mountain breezes to waft
a little business this way. Alas, it is
chiefly the rider on the white horse who
comes now. Still there is a little activ-
ity at the Flower Market and the com-
mission houses, though many of the em-
ployes are enjoying their vacations. The
latest acquisitions are dahlias from W.
P. Peacock, of At. o. X. J., who is send-
ing in some flowers of Clifford W. Bru-
ton, a fine yellow, a sort of all-the-season
variety. Virtually the entire cut of this
great dahlia specialist goes to S. S.
Pennock.

Coal.

The coal situation showed a marked
change during the past week. The an-
thracite dealers, finding that bituminous
coal was replacing the small sizes of
hard coal to an alarming extent, put
down the prici I that stock af the mines
about 25 cents, m;ikiii_' the price of buck-
wheat, the most popular florists' size,
$1.15 to $1.25 a ton for the commercial
grades. This is from 5 to 15 cents a
ton higher than two years ago. At these
figures most florists will find hard coal,
if of fair quality, cheaper than soft, the
first cost difference being about 90 cents
a ton in favor of the former. Excepting
in excessive cold weather, it is not prob-
able that the soft coal will make up
this difference by the additioual heat
given out. Possibly prices may decline
still more, but in view of the unsettled

policy to buy now.

Some New Ideas.

M. Bice & Co. have been devoting their
energies to makiug certain things that
they are confident will fill long felt wants
of the florists. For this purpose Mr.
Bice postponed his European trip and
he is justly enthusiastic over the results
obtained. The first domestic novelty, one
which seems destined to play an impor-
tant part in the work of the decorator,
was the willow screen. It stands five or
six feet high, about three feet broad.
and comes in either open work or closely
woven. What an acquisition! Every
decorator knows how often he wants to
hide an ugly corner, to conceal an or-
chestra, or what not. Perhaps room is
an object, or it is bitter cold, so that
plants arc not the thing, then here are
these screens. Tie several together, drape
with some graceful green, fasten on a
loose bunch of effective flowers, and
presto! it is done.

The basket stands for plants have been
greatly improved. One of these filled
with a handsome specimen Boston fern
should prove well nigh irresistible. Next
came a collection of dainty little stands.
basket work with wooden top. just the
sort of tasty little thing that finishes off
an effective decoration when used here
and there to support a handsome jardi-
niere tastefully filled.

Then there were urn-shaped baskets of
' ' green straw ' ' made in sizes to fit fiber
i;is-. so that the busy florist can just
drop in one of his store vases, flowers
and all, when he wants to show a cus-
tomer how it will look, a kind device
truly, that means good-by to all frantic
rushing around to find a vase that will
fit. The decorator will be further as-
sisted by combination plant stands hold-
ing a specimen on high with four smaller
plants below; airy hanging baskets, tin
or foil lined: a wonderful reversible
plant stand and pedestal, which must be
seen to be appreciated, and ever so many
other fetching things.

Then there are increased ribbon oases
filled with all styles, from 12-inch sashes
to %-inch showers, also object lessons in
the use of so called Porto Bican mats
and in the once well known immortelle
wreath, revived and adorned in new at-
tire. Mr. Bice is to be congratulated on
the good work his firm is doing for the
advancement of our calling. Rice sv Co.
are preparing a grand catalogue, to be
issued in a month.

Notes.

H. Bayei-sdorfer has returned from
abroad, bringing in his train many in-
teresting novelties which the Review
hopes to describe when they are safely
unpacked. Baul Berkowitz lias gone west
to arrange his firm's large exhibit at
Milwaukee.

Samuel S. Pennock and Mrs. Pennock

sail for Liver] I from this port on the

steamer Haverford, Saturday, August 15.
Mr. Pennock 's many friends wish him a
pleasant vacation.

The fine canna display at the August
meeting of the club was enjoyed among
others by Mr. Seeger, of Hartford, who
is staying in this city. He brought let-
ters of introduction to George Huster.
of Girard College, and. 1 think, to 0. B.
Paul, of Fairmount Park.

George Anderson is rapidly pushing
the work on his new rose house, otic of
the largest in this city. Mr. Anderson
has been very successful with l:n I.-

BUFFALO.

Club Picnic.

"We can't afford much space for busi-
ness this week, as the picnic will take
tip all available room. It did not rain
on Wednesday last, so the adjourned
picnic came off', not with such an at-
tendance as there would have been if
Tuesday had been fair, for all ad-
journed events are sure to suffer; but
still there were about 100, young and
old, and the verdict of all was that it
was the banner affair of all the club's
picnics, and this is due largely to the
well laid plans and most excellent work
of the committee, Charles H. Keitsch,
Rowland P.. Cloudsley, W. A. Adams,
Emile P.rooker and Fred B. Lewis. Gar-
denville is an ideal place for such a
party as ours. There are shady seats
for the old and infirm, a fine hall for
the two-step, a well kept diamond and
field for the young athletes, a bowling
alley, a dining-room, a commodious and
well stocked— well, everything that you
would want at a picnic. The officials of
the sports were W. F. Kasting, starter;
Captain Braik and Prof. Cowell. judges;
Lewis H. Neubeck and R. Cloudsley,
handicappers; W. Scott, announcer; Wil-
lie Donaldson, general utility man, and
William Heuson. chief rooter.

The sports began with a well contest-

ed game of baseball. West Side against
the East. The western men were drawn
from anywhere this side of Erie, Pa.,
and the east extended almost to Syra-
cuse. But if the west did win by one
run. then' was the best of feeling. The
battery for the east was composed of
Mathewison Weise and David Corfu
Scotl ; for the west, W. Belsey Scott and
Robert Burns Scott. The playing was
so brilliant all around that it would be
impossible to speak of anyone in par-
ticular. The umpiring of Wm. Kasting
was perhaps the best feature. The 100-
yards dash was won by Deerfoot Reich-
ert, the prize a house and lot on Dor-
ehester avenue. In the old man's rare
Geo. McClure won first prize, a thou-
sand pieces of ornamental wall paper.
The race on all fours, 50 yards, brought
.iut brilliantly the peculiar talents and
conformation of good old Joe Neubeck,
and he looked so much like one of the
large anthropoids running from one tree

to i ther that a farmer looking over

the fence wanted to shoot at it. The
prize was a copy of Huxley's "Descent
of Man." The quarter-mile race was
won by the same speedy Mr. Reichert
and the prize was ten shares in N. Y. C.
R. R.

The ladies' race of 7.5 yards was a
very close affair and was won by a nose
by Mrs. Bailey. The prize was a cellu-
loid baby carriage. The track, however,
was heavy, and if it had been fast Mrs.
W. F. Kasting would have won. She
was heavily backed for the place, how-
ever, and pulled out her backers. This
race gave the starter much worry, as the
majority of the contestants were maidens
and quite fractious at the post and there
was considerable backing, rearing and
bumping before the barrier rose. Next
year I would advise all starters in the
race to wear blinkers, so that they
wouldn't see who their neighbor was.

The sack race was won by W. B. Scott
with both feet through the bottom of the
sack. The prize was a box of "Green-
house Perfeetos. " The potato race, a
very amusing but exhausting event, again
went to the swift, Mr. Reichert, and the
prize was a bottle of Wilson Family Dis-
turber. The hop, step and jump went

to Wm. Greever, with a fine effort of
thirty-nine feet, the prize being a fine
kodak. The broad jump was won by
David Scott, of Corfu, with nine feet
and ten inches; the prize was a gross of
corn brooms and a week's meal ticket at
Maplelmrst. The three-legged race was
won by Messrs. Weiss and Reichert. The
prize was two bottles of elderberry wine.
The one-legged race was won by Mr.
Slattery, the prize four eases of Dr.
Pierce 's Golden Medical Discovery. Now
I pause to say that Mr. Slattery, late of
New York and now of Byrnes & Slat-
tery, of our city, is an athlete and an
all-around good fellow. Half a dozen
like him make a picnic an assured suc-
cess, and if he had had running shoe3
instead of stockings, he would have given
all his competitors a posterior view of
himself in several events. He is an ac-
quisition to our club.

A shoe race was won by one of W. J.
Palmer & Son's juvenile assistants, name
not given, and this ended the sports, af-
ter which appetites were appeased. Then
the music started the waltz, the rattle of
the pins was heard and a select few took
a vocal exercise. The sentimental singing
of Jake Bailey is alluring— a treat— and
the duets by he and Charlie Kaiviteh are
most enjoyable; but of all the vocal ef-
forts the song by Charlie was the thing.
The words were Peking Chinese and the
air Hiawatha. Finally, there was not an
unpleasant incident during the whole day
to mar the enjoyment and everyone got
home, even if some don 't remember how.
I forgot to mention that there were good
second and third prizes for every event
ami scarcely a contestant but that earned
something. Strange to say that "Old
Hoss" Warring won for second prize in
the old men's race, a beautiful German
stein holding at least a quart. How
touchingly appropriate! And now we
hear frequently the pathetic appeal,
"Kind sir, won't you fill my stein!"
To the Convention.

I don't know that I have mentioned
before that the Buffalo delegation to
Milwaukee will leave here via the Wa-
bash on Sunday at 8 p. m.. arriving in
Chicago on Monday at 10:30 a. m. If

CHICAGO.

The Market.

There are more good Beauties noy
available, several growers getting fair
cuts from young stock, but of course
stems are not yet very long. Brides and
Maids are not increasing in supply as
rapidly as might be expected, possibly
due to the cool weather, and good roses
are still hard to find. Some growers are
getting a second cut of Kaiserin of very
good quality. Golden Gate is the most
plentiful rose. Carnations from the field
are coming in heavier every day. but not
in quantities to seriously affect the mar-
ket,

Asters are in heavy supply, but there
are scarcely any whites, and, on the
whole, the quality is very much below
par. Gladioli are too plentiful, and the
same may be said of rudbeckias. hydran-
geas and all the outdoor flowers; while
large quantities are sold, yet not all the
daily receipts find a buyer. The Easter
lily is about out of the market, but there
are auratums of all degrees of quality.
Valley is very good. Green goods of all
classes aro abundant, except green galas,
which is out.

Convention Entertainment.

The plan is to take the S. A. F. mem-
bers in hand at about 2:30 Friday after-
noon, August 21, ou their return from Mil-
waukee. Headquarters will be established
in the wholesale district and open house
will be kept until 6 o'clock, when the
guests will be escorted to the Auditorium
for supper, after which everybody will
go to the concert at the Coliseum garden.
Plans are being made to entertain not
less than 800 and it is the understanding
that the Milwaukee boys will provide
transportation back to the convention city
for those who must start their return
journey from there, so that everybody can
come down for the Chicago affair.

Various Notes.

Stocks of greenhouse glass are pretty
well cleaned out, but local dealers expect
to have enough to last until new glass is
being made, in September. One of the
leading houses says that 65 per cent of
the calls now are for 16x18. The present
market is about $4.28 on small lots of
D. S. A.; $3.80 on car lots; $4.10 on B.
in small lots; $3.64 by the car.

Coal contracts are being made at an
advance of from 30 to 35 cents a ton
over last year's contract price. This
makes a big difference where from 2,000
to 10,000 tons are burned, but the dealers
say the cost of mining and transportation
has advanced nearly the full amount of
the raise.

O. P. Bassett and Mrs. Bassett are at
Lake Minnetonka.

This has been a great growing season.
The carnations in the field all did splen-
didly, and on being moved indoors took
hold of the soil in fine shape. The chrys-
anthemum plants, too, are making good
growth with all the growers in this neigh-
borhood. It has been a particularly
favorable summer for those who benched

Mrs. Lawson carnations direct from the
pots.

Misses Nell il. Sisler and Lillian Ton-
ner. of E. H. Hunt's, are at Niagara

man.

BOSTON.

Everything is sailing along as smooth
as a button. The output has been de-
preciated by rainy weather, but there
is enough of everything to fill all orders
unless it may be on the colored carna-
tion side of the house.

Negotiations seem to be progressing
better in the Sutherland bankruptcy
matter than in those almost immedi-
ately preceding. At the second meet-
ing of creditors the committee recom-
mended the acceptance of 25 per cent in
cash, a note of nine months for 15 per
cent and another of a year and a half
for 10 per cent, making 50 per cent all
told. This being the best that can be
done in their estimation, and agreed
upon on his part, it is hoped all hands
will sign papers which have been for-
warded to them and push this settle-
ment along to a quick finish.

Jack Minton is out with another busi-
ness card. This time it reads: "Tobin

anything illegal about that, I guess the
"judge" knows it and I presume the
same might have been said in regard
to the affairs of the N. E. Cut Flower
Company. J. S. Mantek.

ST. LOUIS.

The Market

Trade in cut flowers still retains its
summery conditions, and the report from
several of the large retailers is "exceed-
ingly quiet." The recent rains put all
outdoor stock in fair shape. The early
part of last week there was a greater de-
mand for white flowers than at present,
on account of extra funeral work. The
stock in roses continues to come in very
poor, Kaiserin being about the best.
Golden Gate and Meteor are also of fair
quality. Bride and Bridesmaid are very
poor. The best of these bring $5 per
100, while the poor ones hardly bring over
$2. No good Beauties are in the market.
The demand for roses is very good, but

thev must be of the first quality to sell
well.

There are some good field-grown carna-
tions in the market, especially Mrs.
Fisher. The bulk of the carnations that
come in are small and with very short
stems, which do not sell well at any price.
The best long-stemmed ones bring $1.50,
while 50 cents per 100 is all the shorts
bring. Good valley continues to come in
at the usual price. Of the general out-
door stock tuberose stalks and asters sell
the best. The asters that come in are
not of as good quality as they should be
at this season of the year. Tuberose
stalks are selling well at $4 and $5 per
100. Gladioli, hollyhocks, hydrangeas and
candytuft come in by the thousands, and
are having a slow sale at cheap prices.
Some good smilax was offered at $15 the
past week.

Various Notes.

The great wind and hail storm of last
week, Wednesday, caused considerable
damage about town to trees in the parks.
The hail was not large enough todo much
damage to greenhouses. Some damage to
outdoor plants was reported by several
of the florists, and C. Juengel lost a lit-
tle glass.

J. F. Ammann, of Edwardsville, HI.,
reports the loss of about 300 feet of glass
by hail on Tuesday, August 4.

Theo. Biehter, a florist of Kirkwood,
was killed on Wednesday last at the
World 's Fair grounds during the wind
and hail storm. Mr. Biehter was at one
time a member of the club. He leaves a
wife and five children to mourn his loss.
The remains were taken to Washington,
Mo., for burial. The family has the sym-
pathy of the craft.

John Young and family left last
Thursday for Atlantic. City, N. J., for a
month 's recreation. John will visit New
York and Boston before returning home.

Harry Young is away for a week 's
hunting trip in Franklin county. Harry
is one of the crack shots among the flor-
ists and never comes home empty-handed.

George Ostertag was thrown from a
street ear one day last week and received
painful injuries about the head and arms,
from which he is recovering fast. Brother
Fred has taken his place during his ab-
sence.

Charlie Sehnelle, with M. M. Avers, is
on his vacation. After seeing the sights
in East St. Louis and Belleville he will
return and let Will Adels go with the St.
Louis party to Milwaukee. Mrs. Ayers is
reported somewhat better and out of dan-
ger.

Otto Heinecken, who represents Bob-
bink & Atkins, of Rutherford, N. J., is
now stationed out at the World's Fair
grounds. Otto likes St. Louis, and ex-
pects to stay here until after the World's
Fair is over.

Fred C. Weber returned Monday from
French Lick Springs much improved in
health. Mr. Weber will go with us to
Milwaukee, accompanied by his wife,
daughter and niece. Miss Dora Weber.

Mrs. C. C. Sanders and her two daugh-
ters. Misses Laura and Jessie, returned
Saturday from a three weeks' trip down
the Tennessee river. They report a pleas-
ant time.

NEW YORK.

To the Convention.

Four days more and the New Yorkers
and their neighbors will begin. their jour-
ney to the Cream City. Sunday at 1 p.
m. the exodus begins. That it will be
a happy party needs no assurance and
that it may total 100 is our ambition.
Before this issue of the Kkvif.w reaches
your eastern subscribers on Saturday
morning the members who will go will be
definitely known. There will doubtless
be a few stragglers who will get into the
ark at the eleventh hour. It will cer-
tainly be a disappointment if fewer than
100 'materialize when the hour for de-
parture arrives. It is hard to under-
stand why anybody with any love for his
profession and for the grand old Society
of American Florists can possibly stay
away if by any means he can arrange to
go. The fact is that there should never
be a smaller attendance than 2,000 at
any ..f these annual reunions. That this
year may see these figures excelled is the
desire of the generous men of Milwaukee
who are doing so much to make this con-
vention memorable, .lust as I expected,
it was necessary only to make the an-
nouncement of the prize bowling require-
ments to have generous offers from every
part of the country. Mr. Pollworth has
already given a list of donors that in-
cludes many of the best known horticul-
turists, and I lone no doubt that by the
'lay of the bowling competition the num-
ber will be largely augmented. The
evening entertainment to follow thi pres
ident's reception is now assured. Some
of ' the most popular members of the so-
ciety will take part in it. I predict it
will be a erowded house and an appreci-
ative one. The Milwaukee club deserves

all the appreciation and i
it is possible for the society to git
in no more practical way can tl
demonstrated than by a record br<
attendance. The west will do its ,1

ST. PAUL.

The Picnic.

tin Wednesday, Augusl 5, the florists
of the Saintly City held their annual
outing at Wildwood, White Hear Lake,
and prett;; nearly ever^ one belonging
to the craft, male and female, was
then and had the most hilarious time
on record. The committee, composed of
Messrs. <). Olson, Carl Vogt and C. A.
Hanson, worked hard to make it a suc-
cess, and the many races and contests
came off finely, with. mt s hitch or mis-
umli rstamling. The prizes were fair
donations from different firms con
elected with the business, directly and
indirectly, and were all accepted with
grace by t he w inners. The prizes and
the names are too numerous to mention
singly, so we will pass that. Of course
t lie pie e iting contest of t he senior flor-
ists furnished a lot of fun and laughter
Some of the more hairj faces looked
anything but nice.

In the ;ii i. i ii more florists with

their spousi s and fi Lends i and en

joyed the different sports on tin i . 1 . ■ : i !
picnic grounds. At 5 o 'clock a ride on
the steamer across the lake was taken

ments, and it was late, very late, when

GOLD MEDAL FERN.

The following is an extract from the
report of the committe on plants, from
the Transactions of the Massachusetts
Horticultural Society for ItHH.':

By far the most important and re-
markable new plant that has been shown
before the society for many years was
placed on exhibition at the March show
by the F. E. Pierson Company, of far
rytown, X. Y.. ami was shown under
the name of Xephrolepis Piersoni. It
originated with them as a sport from
V eviltatn I Mistoniensis, anil is very
interesting botanically as well as of
greal value commercially. Instead of
the fronds being simply pinnate, as in

il iginal form, the pinntE have lie

come divided, making the fronds twice
pinnate. At the same time, the power
of indefinite extension of the tips of the
fronds, a characteristic peculiar to ue-
phrolepis, seems to have been communi-
cated to the pinna, thereby making the
fronds of great width ami beauty in a
well developed plant. The Pierson va-
riety was so remarkably distinct, and
at the same tin f so inudi commer-
cial value, that we considered the plant
worthy of the highest award offered by
the society; we therefore awarded it the
gold medal.

Seymour Nelson, of Chicago, lias

South Park at Des Moines, a portion of
which will be developed this fall.

P. J. Berckmans has again been
elected president of the Georgia State
Horticultural Society, a position he has
held for more than a quarter of a cen-
tury.

The consensus of opinion is that the
fumigation of nursery stock was by no
means general the past season. There
are only two fumigation houses at l>an-
ville, N. Y., but they have had no San
Jose scale there.

At the session of the Indiana Hor-
ticultural Society, at Anderson, August
4 and 5, E. Y. Teas, of Centerville, read
a paper on "The Catalpa" and C. M.
Bobbs, of Bridgeport, one on "Five of
the Most Promising New Varieties of

Apple. ' '

The Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul
railroad is about to make a practical
experiment in forestry, planting catal-
pas along its right of way, 640 trees to
a mile. It is figured that in sixteen
years these trees will have attained a
size to furnish one telegraph pole or
five eross-ties.

Charles 11. Vice, director of the New
York state horticultural exhibit at the
St. Louis World's Fair, states that the
extensive grounds around the state build-
ing will be largely planted by four Roch
ester nursery firms, Chase Pros. Co., Kll-
wanger & Barry, Charlton & So,, and
Brown Bros. Co.

The losses at Topeka during the
spring flood were: Apple seedlings, SO per
cent; apple grafts, 60 per cent; peach
seedlings, lo ]„] cent; peach coming one
year, 65 per cent, with losses on other
items about iii proportion, according to
figures compiled l.\ Peters & skinner.

The G. M. Bacon Pecan Company, at

lie Witt, Ga., has been organized to take
over the niii'scrx and L65 acres of pecan
groves of <i. M. Bacon. There are 200,-
'"iil pecan trees in the nursery and a
large business is being done in supply-
ing stock to planters, but this depart-
ment is to be greatly enlarged. They
have a icu variety, Georgia Giant, short-
ly to be distributed, the parent tree of
which at five years of age bore nuts
weighing thirty-two to the pound.

TREE PLANTING IN NEBRASKA.

One hundred acres of land in the sand
hills of the Dismal Eiver forest re
serve, Nebraska, were planted this
spring by the Bureau of Forestry. On
eighty acres 100,000 ping seedlings were
set out; the other twenty acres were
sowed with seed. The work will con-
tinue this summer. The nursery will be
enlarged so us to cover two acres, which
will hold 2,000,000 s llings. The bu-
reau intends to increase the size of the
nursery gradually so us to make it grow-
enough seedling trees every year to fur-
nish sufficient stock for the planting.
It is intended ultimately to turn the
whole of the Niobrara and Dismal River
reserves, which are now barren sand
hills, into forest by planting. The Dis-
mal River reserve includes SO, 000 acres,
the Niobrara reserve 126,000. A survey
of the boundaries of the Niobrara re-
serve will be made this summer by E.
T. S. Moore, of the Bureau of Forestry.

Chicopee Palls, Mass.— Field-grown

Jesse E. Northrup, of Minneapolis,
has fully recovered from his recent in-
jury.

' John C. Leonard and his bride are
again at Chicago after a trip to the
Pacific coast.

August Rhotkrt sailed from N.u

Another two weeks should give much
more satisfactory information as to the
outcome of the growing season.

The July issue of Prank B. White's
Class Advertising is devoted to the Seed
Trade convention and to seed advertis-
ing.

Bessemer, Ala. — W. D. Taylor will
open a wholesale and retail seed store in
the building now being erected adjoining
his premises.

Practically all seed crops may be
said to be late and early frost is likely
to be a very large factor in determining
next season's supply in many lines.

The Department of Agriculture is ask-
ing seedsmen for back copies of cata-
logues to complete the department 's files
and aid in the work of tracing the origin
of varieties and giving proper credit. W.
W. Tracey, Jr., is in charge of the work.

The discontinuance of the Landreth
retail department leaves some good men
in the market, among them James Vick,
who had charge of the mail order de-
partment, and Robert f'arpenter, who has
been with the firm upwards of forty
years.

I.'ni Kt'ORD, III. — The insurance on the
II. W. Buekbee seed stock destroyed by
lire some time ago is iu a fair way to
be settled, the companies involved hav-
ing left the matter to a committee rep-
resenting three of their number for ad-
justment.

Annually increasing quantities of
radish seed are being grown in the
United States. The Michigan crop is
short, but rather better than a year ago,
while the silence with regard to condi-
tions in California leads to the belief

lies Co., Chicago, returned August 10
from a trip to the northwest and says
corn is not in an encouraging condition.
Mr. Harries is just back from the Mich-
igan bean and pea districts, where condi-
tions are better, but the critical stage is
not yet passed.

Philadelphia.— Both the hay and
grain crops of New Jersey and Penn-
sylvania are below the average. Corn
and tobacco crops are very backward.
Both wheat and oats are of average
quality. Late planted potatoes are look-
ing thrifty and promise to develop nice-
ly. The cold nights of late are working
great havoc with the tomato and vine

The Market.

The weather continues abnormal: il.o
days are warm, the nights cool (August
7 the mercury stood at 50 degrees after
sun up) and the precipitation is above
the average. Outdoor stuff is plentiful.
Asters are wasting by the thousand, and
Cochet roses are in excess of require-
ments, and their quality is not up to
that of former years. Last week the de-
mand was somewhat better than the pre-
ceding one, but dullness is general.

The White Coehet rose grows con-
stants in favor as a summer variety.

fine condition on his place, and every

the plants in most cases being fair in
quality, though the wet season has re-
sulted in much stem rot.

John J. Perry, the busy and efficient
manayer of the Florists' Exchange, was
absent from his post, for two or three
days last week, visiting his father in
Frederick county, who was quite ill, but
who has recovered in some measure.

Philip B. Welch lost his mother some
days ago, she being a lady advanced
in years, who had been living at Wav-
erly. The new farm of Mr. "Welch is be-
ing rapidly improved, and his business
there will be largely in the line of grow-
ing flowers for the trade.

L. T. Massey, who a year or two ago
sold his place near the York road to
.1. E. Bartell, has joined forces with
the purchaser and the two will hereafter
make a team together. Mr. Bartell, as
heretofore reported, has added several
modern houses and otherwise improved
the plant.

In a short time, under the new city
government, there will be ;i ehangi of
the members of the park commission,
which will involve other changes, un-
questionably, in the employes of the va-
rious parks and wire pulling is being
actively engaged in already by those
who are after the choicest places.

1 being favored with go

ilv, lint a good soaking rain last week
helped outdoor stock s great deal, and a
marked improvement is seen in that 'lass
of stock.

Bus ss is still first-class for this sea-
son of thf year, and is far in advance of
other years. The supply of good stork
of any kind is very scarce and is sold out

sought after and are bought as soon as
they are unpacked at the wholesale
houses. There is a good supply of short
roses of all varieties and they sell
nicely. Bride and Ivory are most in de-
mand, as there is a great deal of funeral
work.

Carnations are very scarce, and those
to be had are of poor quality. Gladioli
are almost a glut. As is always the
case, the spikes of good quality sell read-
ily and at a good price and the poor
ones cannot be moved at any price.
Moral: Grow only good stock. Great

ket. White ones in all grades sell read-
ily and at good prices. ' olored ones do
not do quite so well, unless of first-class
quality. Smilax is scarce, but there is
a fair supply of Sprengeri and plumosus.

Notes.

Saturday evening a meeting of the
Florists' Society was held in the club
rooms. But few members were present
and very little business was transacted.
E. (!. (iillett reported on the final ar-
rangements for attending the conven-
tion at Milwaukee. Everything is in
readiness and it looks as if Cincinnati
will send a large delegation this year.
Berths out of this citv can be reserved
by addressing E. G. GHlett, at 113 East
Third street, stating what you want.

The Ohio Cut Flower Co. has moved
into larger quarters situated at 129 East
Third street.

Louis Kyrk and family and l-'r.-.l Gear
and family are spending their vacations
at the lakes.

The Jabez Elliott Flower Market is
being repainted on the inside and will be
in first-class shape for the fall trade.

I wish to call the attention of growers
everywhere to the two flower shows to be
held in this city during the fall festival
in September. The show days are Sep-
tember 10 and 17. The premiums offered
are sufficiently large to attract growers
from all over the country. The premium
list was published in the Review a few
weeks ago. The books are now open for

There is no change to be reported in
this market. Roses are scarce and poor,
excepting Kaiserins, which are very fine.
Carnations are poor, and almost every one
is planting or has finished. Asters are
plentiful, but small and short-stemmed.
The whites come in very handy for funer-
al work, which keeps up quite steadily
and is well distributed among the differ-
ent stores.

Vacations are still in fashion, and this
week finds F. W. Griffin and wife and
George Bate and wife, with a partj of
friends, camping in the wilds of Canada
on the shores of Georgian Bay. They ex-
pect to be away two weeks, and large fish
stories may be looked for on their re-
turn. E.

PITTSBURG.

The Market.

A very common expression in this sec-
tion is "Business is gescheft," but it
has not held good the past week; the
only thing one can say is that it is dead
in every sense of the word. It looks as
if all the flower buyers had left this part
of the country.

The wholesale houses and the mar-
kets are swamped with gladioli and asters,
about the only good flowers we are get-
ting now. There are a few good roses,
but not enough to go around, if there
was any business.

Notes.

A number of the boys have had their
vacations and are back at work, looking
the better for their trips.

A. T. Lorc-b, of De Haven, Pa., has
built a new carnation house. 40x300,
which is about planted.

T. P. Langhans, of the Pittsburg Cut
Flower Co., left last Monday with his
family for Chautauqua. If his fishing
results compare with his expectations
and preparations, his friends here will
have to save all their spare change to
pay express charges on the fish he will
send them !

The Florist Club met last Tuesday
evening to cuss and discuss gladioli; also
the trip to the convention. The best
rate from here is $17 for the round
trip. A large party expects to attend.

Miss E. B. Maxwell, of Wilkinsburg.
is visiting Chicago and other western
points and will look in at the conven-
tion.

Karl Kliuke, bookkeeper for the Cut
Flower Co., is visiting his brother at
Muncie, Ind.

Ernst Zieger, who has just returned
from a trip through the east, goes to
Cambridge Springs with his wife, for a
ten days' rest. Hoo-Hoo.

nounced success. It was an amateurs'
exhibition, but the florists got some good
advertising out of it.

CAL^NTHE VEITCHII.

In a great many places this orchid is
very much neglected, liut when grown
well, there is nothing to surpass it for
■Christmas decorations, and it may be
freely used for house, conservatory, or
table. We have had many racemes
measuring over 50 inches from the base
to the summit, the flowers of good size
and splendid color. This I attribute to
the pseudo-bulbs not being too large, and
also not being too much hurried into
flower. After finishing their growth,
a lower temperature suffices. The best
time for potting tin* species is the
month of March, when growth has re-
■commenced. The cultivator should never
-cut away all the old roots, but leave
plenty to support the pseudo-bulb in
position at the top of the soil, which
should be quite half or even an inch
above the rims of the flower-pots; in no
«ase should too large ones be used. The

The Review when you wrl

compost should consist of one part turfy-
loam, two parts turfy-peat, one part
sphagnum, with an addition of small
pieces of dry cow-manure, but not using
any sand. Special care should be taken
t.i use no fine material whatever, letting
the roots ramble with as much freedom
as possible. Firm potting should not be
resorted to. the fingers being sufficient.
In finishing off, use a stick and an old
pair of vine-scissors for cutting off the
rough material used.

Then place in a temperature not less
than 00 degrees for the first month, after
that the stove temperature will suit
them, but be most careful in watering
during the first period of their growth :
also avoiding strong sunshine, as it is
apt to burn the foliage. When growth
is completed, which would be in Sep-
tember, a lower temperature is essential.
gradually exposing them to the sun to
ripen the bulbs. During the growing
season, applications of manure-water are
beneficial, but in no case use artificial
manures. Damping between the pots
with manure-water is of great benefit to
the foliage; syringing should not be re- I
sorted to at all, as it often causes that
black spot which is seen on the pseudo- I
bulbs. An occasional sponging of the
foliage is all that is necessary to keep i
in check red-spider and scale. After the
flowering period is over, calanthes should
be rested in a temperature not less than
00 degrees.— W. Fulford, in Gardeners- |
Chronicle.

SAN FRANCISCO.

The Market.
The weather still continues cold. We

see notliing of the sun until the after-
noons, and plenty of wind from the
ocean. Business is about the same ;is
for the last few weeks, considerable
funeral work, and now that the schools
are commencing their sessions again,
many families are coining back to town.
The prices of roses and carnations re-
main the same, but there is some ad-
vancement in the quality. Asters are be-
ginning to be a factor in business and.
although they are not as plentiful as
they will be in a week or two, they
bid fair to be of good quality. They
are raised mainly by Chinese and long-
stemmed flowers bring from $1 to $-
per hundred. E. Sehwerin is cutting

GRAND RAPIDS, MICH.

We have had a dull, cloudy, raw week,
cool enough to wear an overcoat at
night; good carnation growing weather,
but unfavorable for peaches, for which
this sort ion is famous.

Several linns started Monday to plant
carnations, which are, despite the late
frost and unfavorable weather, nice,
bushj plants, better than they were this
time last year. The carnation crop is
about over, and but very few asters are
in as yet. Funeral work and shipping
keeps all greenhouse flowers cleaned up;
outdoor flowers are cheap. One of the
florists had a wagon-load of hardy phlox
and Golden Glow, peddling them on the
si reel :it 75 eents per 100. Then it is
when the storemen are asked why they
charge 25 cents or more per dozen for
the same goods, that they feel pleasant-
ly disposed to the peddler wagon. Prices
of carnations are 25 cents per dozen;
roses $1 ; American Beauties, $1.50 to
$3. Outdoor flowers: prices unmention-
able. Although every one is busy, either
rebuilding or building, there is talk of
going to the Milwaukee convention.
While every one favors conventions and
likes to attend them, it is hard to get
them to offer a positive promise. "I'll
see if I can spare the time," but at least
ten will attend, and will do what they
can to make the convention a success,
and we may carol the busy bees to the
tune of five or six more.

It is now time to turn our attention
to the coal bins, the florists ' ' ' supply
combination" seems to be quietly sleep-
ing, and it now, evidently, is a " go-as-
you-please" race.

The city is trying to purchase 40
acres of land adjoining John Ball Park,

PLAN FOR PIPING.
I will build a house 20x100, even span,
running north ami south, side ventila-
tion. This is to be heated with hot water
but with no pipes under the center
( 'an I run three lines of 4-inch
pipe from the northwest corner clear
around the house to return to the boiler
on the northwest side? "Will it do to
sink the pipes at the door in the south
end of the house, or how would it be
best to get a night temperature of 55
degrees at 15 degrees below zero out-
doors.' Which is the safest plan, to
hinge ventilator sash at ridge or leader.'

i windy place. Boiler will be
under potting shed at north end of
house and both ends of the greenhouse
will be glass. How should the boiler
be placed? A. W.

The pipe arrangement suggested is not
desirable on account of the proposed dip
at the south door. If the sill of the
south door be raised to clear the pipes
when passing around on an oven grade
there is no objection to the pipes being
run from tin- nort hwi-M corner around
the south end to the northeast corner and
back again on same lines, provided that
they lie so graded that they are at least
one foot higher at the northeast cor-
ner than at the northwest. Six lines of
4-inch pipes will not give a night tem-
perature of 55 degrees in a house twenty
feet wide with a 15 below zero tempera-
ture outside. If the house has glass on
the roof only, at least eight lines of
pipes will be necessary and if there be
glass on the side walls more pipe must
be used. Ventilators should be hung
from the ridge, using galvanized
wrought-steei hinges with brass centers.
The boiler cellar should be deep enough

least eighteen inches below the green-
house floor, but a little deeper will be
advantageous. Henry W. Gibbons.

Greenhouse Fumigating Powder

Is the newest and best article on the market
to-day for the complete destruction of all
insects that infest tiieenlnmscs or Conserva-
tories, being a special boon to Rose and
Beautv growers and prepared particularly for
the destruction of Greenfly and Thrips.
There is nothing injurious in it to plant life,
even the most delicate fern. It is especially
recommended for Beauties, Roses. Carna-
tions. Chrysanthemums. Lilies, Smilax.
Asparagus, Palms, Ferns, etc., and we claim
that insects will be entirely eradicated when
the houses are thoroughly fumigated with
the powder. It is put up as follows:

7 YEARS

IN BUSINESS

S NOT A VERY LONG TIME, BUT SEE WHAT WE HAVE ACCOM-

plished ! Starting smaller than most any wholesaler ever did start, we now have
the largest and

Best Equipped Place in the City

What has brought about this almost phenomenal success ?

Careful conservative business management.

We have taken good care of every flower our growers produced and shipped in
and earned their confidence that we are at all times working for their interests.

We have carefully studied the wants of our customers and proved to their satisfac-
tion that we can at all times be relied on to furnish anything that is to be had in this
market and in addition we make special efforts to supply Novelties or Specialties not
always to be had elsewhere.

In short — Fair and Square treatment for both Grower and Buyer.

We Stand on Our Record

We expect to continue as we have done, and push our business harder than ever
this season. We certainly can do better now than ever before. Seven years ago the
work was all done by one man. Now we have five experienced helpers and a wholesale
house equipped second to none.

Those who have not been dealing with us we invite to investigate our Record. Our

Satisfied Growers and Customers

are our recommendation. We can do as much for YOU as we have done for THEM.
Our Mr. Amling is at the Convention this week.
We hope you have all seen him and got
acquainted, or renewed old acquaintance.

Make our place headquarters when passing through Chicago.

Why are We on Top?

HlHE Florists of America say it is because we are the Largest,
] Best Equipped and Most Progressive Florists' Supply
House in the country. Perhaps they are right, the
Florists are a pretty smart crowd. Anyway our stock is a little
Finer than even we ever offered before. Mr. Bayersdorfer has
just ransacked Europe for Novelties of merit. Meanwhile our
own great factory has not been idle. You can depend on us

We Are Ready

to take better care of our customers than ever the coming season. We have
this summer added three large houses to our plant of 225,000
feet of glass and will have the product of considerably more

glass than last year with which to meet demands. And the quality
from all will be high. We shall be especially strong in

Brides, Maids, Meteors,
Beauties and Carnations.

In addition to the cut from our own large place we shall have the
product of several first-class growers of roses. And we shall
have other new consignors who are growers of high-grade
CARNATIONS and Other Stock. We shall be in a position to give
you the best the market affords at fair prices, and would like to add you to

Milwaukee Convention.

THE BANNER MEETING OF THE SOCIETY OF
AMERICAN FLORISTS.

Next Meeting to be held at St. Louis, Mo.

OFFICERS FOR 1904 =

President, PHILIP BREITMEYER, Detroit. Mich.

Vice-President. J. J. BENEKE. St. Louis. Mo.

Secretary, WM. J. STEWART. Boston. Mass.

Treasurer, H. B. BEATTY, Oil City. Pa.

All that Milwaukee promised has
been fulfilled and the nineteenth annual
convention of the Society of American
Florists goes on record as the best yet.
The attendance was large, all the fami-
liar faces being seen, with many for
whom it was a new experience and one
long to be remembered. Many new
names were added to the membership
roll and an impetus given to the grand
old society which will carry it on to
other and yet better things.

The far east turned out strong, New-
York, Bom. .11, Washington and Philadel-
phia having excellent representation,
and Buffalo, Cleveland. Detroit, Cincin-
nati, St. Louis, Denver and Chieago did
themselves proud, while from the towns
of the middle west the craft was present
almost to a man. It was a gathering to
rejoice the hearts of the hospitable men
who have worked so long and arduously
for this successful culmination and it
was a turnout to afford the must ade-
quate compensation to the exhibitors who
had gone to such great pains to put up
the must magnificent exposition of flor-
ists' wares ever staged.

The trade exhibition was a revelation,
not only to those who came to their first
convention, but also to those who have
not missed a meeting, and the elaborate-
ness of the display spoke more eloquently
than words of the marvelous advance in
all departments of our trade in recent
years. Never has so large a hall been
available for the showing of our wares
and never has the space been more com-
pletely occupied. In fact, so extensive
was the display of florists' supplies that
much more room might have been de-
voted to this department to the advan-
tage of all exhibitors. The aisles were
very crowded between sessions. All the
houses were represented and made show-
ings of greater extent than ever before;
good things were on all the stands. In
the end of the building devoted to plants
the space was more nearh adequate
to the needs, but here, too, the display
was far more extensive than usual. The
stock shown was of uniformly high qual-
ity, mostly in the line of decorative

plants, and some very large exhibits
were staged. The general effect of the
exhibition, viewed from whatever point,
could hardlv have 1 n improved noon.

displays, usually more practical than dec-
orative, in very pleasing shape.

When the hour for the opening ses-
sion arrived every seat in the adjoining
audience room was occupied. Vice-Presi-
dent Pollworth called for order and in
a few well chosen phrases presented a
gavel to President Burton, on behalf of
the Milwaukee Florists' Club, and intro-
duee.l Mayor Rose, who straightway won
for himself a place high in the esteem
of his auditors.

Mayor Rose said that the exhibition
spread out in the big hall was a revela-
tion to Milwaukee, an evidence that the
magnitude of the industry it represented
was inadequately appreciated by those
whose daily avocations do not bring them
in touch with the florists' trade. He
said that Milwaukee was famous as a
city of beer, but that it does not deserve
an opprobrious title; a walk in the resi-
dence districts would show it to be a
city of flowers. And flowers are essen-
tial to human happiness. Take the aes-
thetic attributes away from man and
yon have no man left. The Mayor pro-
ceeded to "point with pride," as mayors
do, to the many things for which Mil-
waukee should also be famous. He said
his city had the greatest bowlers in the
country and challenged the best team the
florists could produce. He said that Mil-
waukee is only 85 miles from the wicked-
est city on earth, yet it is the most or-
derly; that it has a splendid police de-
partment but that its duties are more
in line with the good offices of the Red
Cross Society when visitors are in town.

Mr. Pollworth then introduced Adam
Graham, of Cleveland, one of the eleven
ex-presidents of the society who sat in
a semi-circle back of the presiding offi-
cer, to respond. His remarks in response
to the mayor were of witty character,
relating to the extent of the free adver-
tising Milwaukee' gets from having her

name over the doors of so many

houses through the length and breadth of

the land.

Vice-president Pollworth next intro-
duced President Burton, who took this,
the firs! opportunity, to thank the soci-
ety for his re-election under unusual cir-
cumstances at Asheville. He then read
his address, as follows:

President Burton's Address.

klosl of you are aware, I suppose,
that 1 am not a. believer in long ad-
dresses, and it will be my aim in tin-
lew remarks I have to make to you at
this, our nineteenth annual convention,
to say that which I have to say in the
fewest possible words.

From all sections of the country I
hear good news of a prosperous busi-
ness during the past season. The black
cloud which hung over many of us dur-
ing the fall and early winter, the strike
in the hard coal regions of Pennsylvania,
was happily dispelled before it had spelt
absolute ruin to our business. The sub-
sequent good prices and brisk demand
largely compensated for losses sustained
in the majority of cases, but we regret
the misfortune and extend our fullest
sympathy to those who suffered so se-
verely, many of whom were almost ruined

Another black cloud which threatened
our business last season in addition to
the calamity of the coal strike, was the
arbitrary action of the express com-
panies in advancing rates on the ship-
ment of cut flowers, to an exorbitant
and almost prohibitory extent. The trade
was greatly alarmed and a storm of pro-
test arose in all sections of the coun-
try. Florists' clubs, local committees
and private individuals all took an ener-
getic hand in resisting the exactions,
and the national society gives full ac-
knowledgment to till this assistance in
securing the victory which it happily
gained after several' months of energetic
effort. Special acknowledgment is also
due to the valuable and faithful work
performed in this connection by the so-
ciety 's special committee, Messrs. May,
i ) '.Mara and Sheridan.

Expansion in the West.

On the whole, the past year has been
one of progress and prosperity, and there
seems every reason to believe that the
upward tendency will continue. I am
not going to preach to you about the
inevitable reaction which they say is
bound to come sometime, but will con-
tent myself with a word of caution to
hold something in reserve. During a sea-
son of remarkable expansion the excite-
ment is apt to carry us further than is
wise or expedient and in this, as in all
other things, it is best not to be as ex-
pansive as we can, but to stop short
before we reach the extreme of our
ability or endurance. This remark is
inspired by the way things are develop-
ing in the middle west. Glass is being
erected so fast and general business i =
expanding at such a rate in that sec-
tion as almost to make an easterner's
head swim.

I have traveled considerably over the.
western section in the past year and have
to acknowledge that we in the east have
bur the faintest conception of how
things have been developing, especially
in the production of cut flowers. It is
simply astonishing and we must extend
our congratulations and endeavor to sit
as gracefully as we can on the back
seat hereafter. I may remark, however,

The Weekly Florists' Review.

that the development in the culture of
foliage and flowering plants does not
seem to have kept pace with that of
cut flowers. Plants will probably be the
next department taken up by our en-
terprising friends in the west and will
tend to diversify and steady the busi-

Value of the S. A. F.

Looking back over the development of
the pa-t nineteen years, we must all feel
that that progress would have been mil*1-
slower if there had been no Society of
American Florists with its annual con-
ventions, its discussions of timely top-
ics, the swapping of ideas among the
members, each member giving and re-
ceiving inspiration for further progress,
giving and receiving counsel of untold
value and laving the foundations of suc-
cess, not only for themselves, but for
all those of their neighbors who in turn
profited by their good example. Those
pioneeis of progress who attended the
conventions in days gone by, came from
all sections of the country and when
they went home and put their new ideas
into effect, all their neighbors saw it
and went and did likewise. And so the
good work went on all over the land,
quietly and unostentatiously, but none
the less surely until we see the remark-
jl,i, ,-\pai.-iiiii (if the present day. And
yei how lew of those stay-at-homes ever
give the society the credit for all the
priceless benefits they thus received from
it.

Every member of the trade owes a
debt ol gratitude to the society beyond
m J ,v and beyond price, and they i
it to' their piuiessiou to do their share
for the general advancement. One's first
duty is to look after his own interests,
of course, but there are other duties
besides that of one's family and one's
business, one of which is the duty which
ea-h of us owes to his profession. I do
not attribute neglect of this highei duty

'';•'■'

ther to mere selfishness. I think
i great deal of it comes from want of
reflection. If all would reflect on the
£.n-at silent work the society has been
di tnj. for the past nineteen years we
won Id never hear the question: "What
has the society done?" And instead
of grudging the $3 annuai dues they
would put their hands in their pockets
cheerfully to the last mar. for thai
small sum, and also find the time to at-

t 1 conventions, and so pay the debt

to the society at least thai; much. We
have made great strides so far, bu1
there are great questions in front i
us yet and we need the combined
strength of the whole trade to tackle
them.

Industry and Thrift.
While reflecting on my visits among
my compeers in different parts of the
country, there is one point that lias
struck me very forcibly, namely, thai
the place where packing sheds are clean
and tidy and orderly, where the walks
are smooth and free from rubbish, where
the beds are without weeds, where paint
and repairs are in evidence all around,
there is the place where the prosperous
man holds out; showing very clearly that
the old fashioned virtues of indu.-ny and
thrift are not dead letters in this mod-
ern age of improvement and invention
but are still the dirncuH and narrow
paths that lead to success I admire
hard work, aided by brains, bur. I lo
not forget that hard work comes first,
brains after. Brains will never do any-
thing in this world unless there be seme

push behind them. An industrious and
thrifty worker will beat the born-tired
genius every time.

In our business it is not the ge

we want so much as the fellow who will
take hold with a will and do his share
of the daily grubbing, confident that in
the long run that is the way to become
competent and be able to hold his end
up in the race for life. Not that 1
object to genius; about one in 5,00C
perhaps will be a genius and we cau
look on and wonder when he comes
along; what we have to consider now is
that we want the other 4,999 to be com-
petent and industrious hewers of wood
and drawers of water. If the whole
5,000 are aided and abetted by higher
education into thinking themselves gen-
iuses, life will be half over for most
of them before they realize their mis-
take. Let us start them out right.

We heard something recently abou!
the help forming a union which may be
a good thing for the business and then
again it may not. For myself I have
grave doubts about it if the same spirit
of antagonism and selfishness animates
it as seems to be the ruse in other busi-
nesses. I have no objection to any g 1

workman bettering his position if he
can, and I think merit should always I"
promptly recognized, but I cannot see
;nii good in boosting the incompetent
man at the expense of his fellow's. If *
workman's union will devote itself to
improving the quality of our help it will
be doing a good work and if the help
are bound to have a union we ought to
minimize the evil of same by encourag-
ing them along that line. Most of you

have had experience of what a coal
strike means and you can realize the
damage that a body of irresponsible,
bull-headed men could do on a green-
house establishment at a critical time.
For damage of that kind there seems to
be no protection and we will have to
prepare ourselves as best we may against
this threatened trouble. A factory or
mine can shut down without much direct
loss but the florist has to keep going or
be ruined.

.•ominittee. As finally made up tli m

mittee consisted of the following: l':n
riek O'Mara, Carl Cropp, G. C. Watson,
John Farquhar, Edwin Lonsdale, J. T.
Temple, Peter Bisset, S. \l. Meehan
and W. K. Smith.

That committee will no doubt make it-
report to you in doe course. I under-
stand there has been a question raised as
to the committee's power to add to its
number from the omission of that clause
from the motion, although the said mo-
tion was intended -to give • ■ ti « ■> t to iuv
suggestion: "That a committei irith
power to add to its numbers be appoint-
ed." This may have hampered i
mittee but if the society wishes to eon
tinue the work of the euinmiitee the de-
fect can easily be remedied at this meet-
ing. A year will not make a great d.-al
of difference to a committee whose work
will be continuous and permanent. The

difficulty of securing a committei

the peony arose from two reasons, first
because few of the S. A. F. members
had gone into peonies as a specialty,
second because several of the more
prominent peony specialists had already
pledged themselves to another organiza-
tion. While disclaiming all thought of
rivalry we recognize that there is work
of a special nature from the florists '
standpoint, which our organization ran
do for us better than the other, which
seems to be under the wing of the nurs-
eryman 's society.

I would also suggest for consideration
at this meeting, the wisdom of appoint
ing similar committees for the iris and
the phlox. Both of these families have
a future before them and we want till
the information we can get that will
help the florist in extending his business
along these lines.

In regard to nomenclature I would
again suggest the advisability of reviv-
ing that committee. This matter was
recommended by the executive commit-

tee at its meeting in Milwaukee. The
good work accomplished in the past leads
to the belief that such a committee has
a permanent function in our society,
both preventive and remedial, and I
would strongly recommend to the in-
dividual members to call the attention
of this committee (if appointed) to all
instances of duplication or renaming
that come to their knowledge. It is
of very little encouragement to a com-
mittee of this kind tn be told that they
have nut corrected an abuse when the in-
dividuals who suffered never took the
trouble to call their attention to the
matter.

Executive Committee's Work.

The executive committee had several
important matters before it at the an-
nual meeting in Milwaukee whb-li will
come before you in the regular order.
Of special importance I consider the
arrangement instituted for the meeting
of state vice-presidents for the purpose
of getting in closer touch with each
other and with the society. The wishes
of each state as to next incumbent can
be mure readily ascertained by this
means also, and I look for good results
in various ways from this inni.vati.ui
and trust each vice president will be on
hand.

Another important subject discussed
was how to have the business sessions
l.ett.r attended. This resulted in the
appointment of a sergeant-at-arms. who,
with his assistants, is required to see
that all members who can "do so be in-
duced to attend the meetings and post-
pone the discussion of personal or busi-
ness matters to a more opportune time.

This is no new problem, being as old
as civilization. We read of the scheme
whieh the ancient Greeks adopted, a rope
covered with wet paint stretched from
side to side of the street in the bands
of two stalwart officers, to compel the

crowd to attend the public meeting-
and even in more modern times, among
our colonial fathers, the pains and pen-
alties for lounging instead of going to
church were severe, but while we are
not going to be so drastic, perhaps, in
our case we still mean in all serious-
ness to make an earnest effort to do jus-
tice to the able gentlemen who have
come so far and who have pn ■ ai ed
themselves at "Teal pai as •■■ address as.
The executive committei wishes it el. -ar-
il ihibition hall cleared during ses-

-i.iii- is to I"- Btrietlj enforced; that it
is no mere whim of the sergeant-at-arms
but an ironclad rule that must be obei i u
by all, by exhibitors as well as by
visitors.

In conclusion, I take this opportunity
of extending sympathy as official head
of our society to the families and
friends of those of our members who
have been called from among us during
the past year. To feel the loss of their
able assistance and wise counsels in the
work we are now- doing; what they have
done is graven on our memories and in
the records of the society and we will
ever hold them in affectionate remem-
brance.

Secretary Stewart then presented lu^
annual report, as follows:

Our total membership as per the print-
ed list for 1902 was fifty-eight life and
MiO annual, fifty-three less than for
1901. Nine annual members have since
taken out life memberships. Seven have
been taken from us by death since our
last meeting. Deaths are recorded as
follows :

and Massachusetts, three each; Alabama,
California, Maine, New York and Vir
ginia, four each; South Carolina, Ave;
Georgia, seven; Ohio and Illinois, eight

Una, sixteen.

From the foregoing it will be seen
that, notwithstanding the disadvantage
of having moved our renter of activity
from the thronged Pan-American to re-
mote Ashevillc with its scattered con-
stituency, our society is in fairly pros-
perous circumstances as to funds, mem-
bership and general activity along legit-
imate lines. It is especially gratifying
to note that the life membership list is
steadily lengthening and its permanent
fund approaching dimensions where the
accruing annual interest amounts to a
substantial sum.

We should not, however, lose sight of
the fact that, considering the number
of people engaged in horticultural pur-
suits in the United States, our member-
ship is disappointingly small and our
sphere of usefulness consequently limit-
ed. We should have a life membership
of at least 1,000 and an annual list of
twice that number. How shall we at
tain it' Thus far all expedients for
acquiring the consistent allegiance of the
thousands of prosperous llorists of our
country have produced but minor re-
sults and when such services as we have
been able to give this year prove inef-
fectual, whither shall we turn .'

In closing this report permit me to ex-
press the hope that the results of this
convention will justify all the unselfish.

such matters. Mr. Wallace asked if ii
is not a fact that the peonies in ques-
tion are a Japanese set previously dis-
tributed under native names. The secre-
tary replied that if such were known to
be the case when notice of provisional
registration was given, the member
should have given the society the benefit
of his knoweldge at that time, that the
secretary had no option in the matter.
Mr. Wallace said he had no desire to at-
tack the secretary, but that the peonies
were not competent for registration as
they are not, in his opinion, new sorts,
and moved that that part of the report
relating to this subject be laid on the
table until such time as it can be Bhowi

in profuse supply, and a few tripped the

ment neared its end.

The appropriate songs of Miss Pearl
Fulmer, of Des Moines, were especially
appreciated. Altogether it was one of
the happiest evenings in the history of
the society.

It was nearly midnight when the last
of the guests departed.

Wednesday's Proceedings.

Wednesday morning a number of the
judges of trade exhibits reported, but
others had not yet completed their la-
bors and the convention proceeded to
the selection of a meeting place for 1904.
Secretary Stewart read invitations from
hotels and business leagues in •
parts of the country, and F. J. A:
spoke for the St. Louis Florists' Club
to such good effect that the secretary
was instructed to cast the unanimous
ballot of the society for St. Louis in
the world's fair year.

Robert F. Tesson, of St. Louis, was
then introduced and read his paper on
••System of Accounts for Greenhouses

and Forms for Determining Cost of
Production." He illustrated his essay
with large sketches showing his system
in detail.

The next order of business was the
nomination of officers for 1904. Pat-
rick O'Mara, of New York, named Prof.
John F. Cowell in a brief speech, and

William Scott sec- led the nomination.

E. (i. (iillett, of Cincinnati, presented
the name of C. C. Polhvorth, ex-Vice-
President Deake, of Asheville, thai of
John T. Temple, of Davenport, la., and
n. \. Bunyard that of Phil Breitmeyer,
of Detroit. Further nominations not
being forthcoming, the vice-presidency
was taken up, J. J. Beneke, of St. Louis,
being the only nominee'. Secretary
St. •wart and Treasurer Beatty wi
inated for re-election. Adjournment was
then tak.-n to the bowling alleys.

On Wednesday afternoon, while the
bowling was in progress, the ladies, and
there were a goodly number, were taken
out for a ride and shown the beauties of
Milwaukee.

At the evening session Prof. F. W.
Taylor, chief of horticulture at the St.
Louis World's Fair, made one of his
characteristic addresses, briefly outlining

■part

exposition has such liberal provision 1 n

■ ie tor the display of growing stock.
" ;des the sTe-'t building there are
fifty acres of outdoor space, fully two-
thirds of which has already been ap-
plied for. Much work has been done,
10,000 roses having been planted this
spring, and Mr. Taylor stated that men
of the trade who have visited the grounds
recently have all spoken highly of the
facilities for good displays/ He asked
that all growers prepare exhibits. The
owner is asked to plant his own stock, but
after it is established the management
will assume all responsibility for its ear".
Mr. Taylor was given a vote of thanks
for his remarks.

John N. May, of Summit, X". J., was
.■tilled upon for his paper on greenhouse
eonstruction and at its conclusion, on
motion of Mr. Heacoek, he was voted
lice s.i.ietv's thanks. The session closed
with C. P.. Whitnal] 's address on decor-
ating home grounds, illustrated with
utereobticon views from photographs by
the speaker.

Thursday's Proceedings.
At the opening Thursday morning the

remaining reports of judges were pre-
sented and the polls were opened for the
election of officers. H. M. Altick was
then introduced to speak on behalf of
the M.Kiniey Memorial League. He said
that the observance of M.Kiniey day,
January 29, by the wearing of the late
president's favorite flower is of greatest
value to the carnation and till florists
and urged that everyone join the league.
lie said that lie feels sufficient personal
interest to be willing to give the move-
iim ii! all ..t his receipts cm MeKinlcv dav.
1904. W. F. dude, «.t Washington, said
that while he appreciates the business
opportunity presented, he wished to speak
for the sentimental side, and J. D. Car-
modv urged the adoption of the carna-
tion as the national flower.

William Scott read Alex McCo 11 3

paper on "Modern Methods in Floral
Decoration" and on motion of E. II.
('ashman both the author and the reader
nine, I the thanks of the society. Mr.
Scott then called attention to the mil-
lions of money expended by the Depart-
ment of Agriculture for the benefit of
the farmer and contrasted it with the .
meager work done for our trade, repre-
senting a large investment and perplexed
by many problems of which the avi rage
ui o»er has not facilities for solution.
He offered a resolution that the society
petition eongress for sufficient appropria
tions to enable the Department to take
up work for our trade on a scale equal
to its importance. The resolution was
adopted.

George F. Crabb, of Grand Eapids,
read his paper on "Violet Growing in the
West" and received the thanks of the
society. In reply to a question he said
that he prefers benches to solid beds be-
cause the former are more under control
as to moisture.

E. G. Gillett, of Cincinnati; W. F.
Sheridan, of New York, and W. F.

I', of Washington, were named as a

committee on final resolutions.

On motion of E. H. Cushman and I'.
O'Mara, the matter in the secretary's

Prof. L. C. Corbett, of the Departmenl
of Agriculture, told of the efforts madi
by him to collect accurate data «s to the
area of glass in the greenhouses of the
United States and the meager success of
an endeavor to keep track of the increase
in glass and the areas devoted to special
crops. He asked the co-operation of the
society in his work, arguing that the in-
formation would be of large value to the
whole trade. On motion of George C.
Watson the president was given power to
appoint a committee of three to assist
Prof. Corbett.

The exhibitors put themselves on rec-
ord in thanks to F. H. Holton for his
efficiency and courtesy in the manage-
ment of the trades display and later
they presented him with a little token
in further evidence of their appreciation.

In the five-minute talks which fol-
lowed L. H. Foster, of Dorchester,
Mass., spoke for the parcels post. He
urged that the society take action in
support of the movement, which he'be-
lieves of incalculable importance to all
of us and on motion of Mr. Watson the
Postal Progress League was given the
society's indorsement, upon which E. G.
Hill moved the appropriation of a sum
of money to enable the society to join
in the movement.

The opening of the question box
brought up several pertinent topics,

principal i g which was the matter

ut' establishing a standard grade for
plants and other stock, along the lines
"f tin- establishment some years ago of
standard sizes for pots. It was rec-
ognized as a difficult proposition but
after seme debate a motion, offered by
Hugh Wood, of Chicago, prevailed, in-
structing the president to appoint a

■ mittee of five to see what can be

done to fix a uniform grade for plants.
K. II. I'ushmau moved to add to this
■ ut Bowers and bulbs, and this motion

< of election reported the
the result of the ballot for

Jno. I'. Cowell, Buffalo, 52.

Before Mr. Esler could announce the
unanimous election of Vice-President
J. J. Beneke, Secretary Wm. J. Stewart
anil Treasurer H. B. Beatty the friends
of the successful candidate came march-
ing in with the popular Detroiter on
their shoulders and the boys let loose
their voices in glad acclaim. When the
uproar was stilled and Mr. Breitmeyer
had sufficiently recovered bis breath be
thanked his friends for their hearty sup-
port and pledged his best efforts to the
society as an evidence of his apprecia-
tion of the honor conferred upon him.

Thursday afternoon was devoted to-
the shooting tournament and the

session of the convention came that
evening when final resolutions were
adopted and W. E. Beattie, of Washing-
ton, read his paper on ' ' Substitutes fnr
Coal," illustrating his remarks with
stereopticon views of the coal and oil
fields and drawings showing apparatus
for burning petroleum. Mr. Peattie was
followed by J. D. Carmody, who dis-
cussed one side of the florists ' business
in a humorous way.

The Bowling Contest.
The bowling contest was one of the
warmest on record since the pastimes
feature became an institution of the
S. A. F. conventions. Ten cities were
represented and the Olympia alleys
proved in all respects admirable and
adequate to the occasion. The sport
began at 2 o'clock, but it was not until
11 p. m. that the last pin fell in the
individual championship contest that fol-
lowed the team contest. Chicago led
up to the time Philadelphia came into
action, and then gracefully succumbed
to the inevitable. The rooting was loud
and continuous and there was "some-
thing doing" every minute of the aft-
ernoon and evening. Following are the

The Weekly Florists' Review*

Ann st -it, l'.iu::

PRESIDENT-ELECT BREITMEYER.

1864, he received his education in the
public schools of Detroit. la 1.8S2 he
went to Philadelphia to gain .1 fcnowl-

i-h:i

ver business,
nock Bros. Be-
turaing home he went into the store
of his father, the late John Bn

and when he iittui I his twentv-tiist

.is taken into partnership. The
firm in m consists of three brothers.
Philip. Fred and William. They have
a handsomely equipped store at Detroit
and 200,000 i'eet of glass at Mt. Clemens.
Mr. Breitmeyer is also interested in the
Michigan Cut Flower Exchange, at De-
troit. He was vice-president of the
s. A. V. and president of the Detroit
Florists' Club at the time of the su< i
ful convention in that city, in 1S99.

HAIL ASSOCIATION.

There was a meeting of the directors
of the Hail Association Wednesday night
and the annual meeting Thursday. Ac-
cording to the report of Secretary J. G.
Esler on August 1, 1903, the association
insured 18,217, 3S1 square feet of glass.
The losses for the year were $4,623.34,
which was below the average, but at the
date of making the report about fifty-
losses were in course of adjustment.
Since then forty of these claims have
been proved, amounting to $6,300. The
receipts for the year were $13,987.23
and $4,200 on the repayment of loans.
Expenditures were $1,74±.93 for running
expenses and $5,177.50 for investment.
The reserve fund amounts to $11,142.01
and $10,019.25 is on hand for the pay-
ment of losses. Secretary Esler will be
in Chicago next week.

AMERICAN CARNATION SOCIETY.

There was a meeting of the directors
of the American Carnation Society on
Wednesday evening. The premium list
was adopted, the principal change being
the addition of a sweepstakes prize for
the best vase of 100 blooms in the show
at Detroit, March 2. The treasurer was
given a salary of $50 a year and will

hereafter relieve the secretary of the
i-iilli'i-iiiui of dues. The president was
instructed to appoint someone in each
city where there is a sliow this fall to
report on the exhibits in the carnation
elasses". At the Detroit convention in
March the following papers are expected
to he read: "Advisability of having
.Seedlings Kxamined Early, Mid-season
a ml l.ati I lefoi e Committees Appointed
for the Purpose," by William Scott;
"Maintenance of Health, Energy and
Vigor in Carnations," by Robert Craig;
"The .Management of Exhibitions," by
W. N. Eudd.

NEW WATCH FOR OLD.

It is seldom that a man is robbed two
days in succession, but this unique ex-
perience fell to the lot of ex-President
Wm. E. Smith, of Washington, this
week. Mr. Smith and Eobert Craig lost
their purses on the train en route to
Chicago, and at the Hotel Pfister Tues-
day night thieves went through their
rooms, Mr. Smith losing some borrowed
money and the handsome watch given
him by the S. A. F., which was one of
his treasured possessions. In an ad-
joining room were Phil Breitmeyer and
Wm. Dilger, who lost watches and
money. As soon as Mr. Smith's loss be-
came known Eobert Craig fathered a
movement to replace it, and before the
convention adjourned another watch was
presented as a further evidence of the
esteem in which the venerable
tonian is held.

EARLY IMPRESSIONS OF A GREAT
CONVENTION.

Milwaukee is a decidedly northern city.
and yet, strange to say, people from the
crowded eastern cities, the southern
states, and the warm western plains are
gasping and wiping their faces for re-
lief. We struck a hot week, but what
matters. Of all the cities in the coun-
try this is the one in which irrigation of
the throat, can be most pleasantly and
frequently accomplished. The first ses-
sion of the meeting not being called
until 3 p. m. on Tuesday, allowed time
for everyone to get here and be com-
fortably settled before business began,
and, still better, it found at the opening
the immense and attractive ex-

hibit fully staged, the hall cleaned up
and all in perfect order. The trade ex-
hibit has never been surpassed, or per-
haps equalled, in the history of the so-
ciety. In plants, bulbs, heating and ven-
tilating appliances, and above all, in
floral supplies it is a wonderful ex-
hibit. Never before has there been such
an array of baskets, designs of many-
kinds, beautiful vases, and everything
to tempt the eye of those looking for the
new and artistic. Many of the exhib-
tors have brought their wares a thou-
sand miles, showing the faith they have
in the business of this and the still far-
ther western country. I hope to have
something more to say later about the
individual exhibits, for it takes more
than an hour or two to look them over.

The attendance is large. How it will
compare with the past I cannot say, but
the section of the Exposition Building
devoted to the opening session was
scarcely large enough, and but for the
oppressive heat it would have been
much too small. Milwaukee has a mayor
that I bet is a first-class chief magis-
trate, and combined with that he is an
orator, not only eloquent but humorous
withal, and his address of w-elcome was
greatly enjoyed. His assurance that,
excellent as is the police force of Mil-
waukee, in convention week their func-
tions would be more in the line of of-
ficers of the Eed Cross Society, was
highly appreciated, and I noticed ex-Pres-
ident Smith, of Washington, glance signi-
ficantly at several of the boys as much
as to say ' ' You may be thankful for
that." It was a gem of a speech.

Ex-President Adam Graham, respond-
ed to Mayor Eose, and very happily he
did it. Adam is proud of Scotland, the
land of his nativity, and reminded the
mayor that for the Scotchmen in at-
tendance the article that made Milwaukee
famous was not strong enough, if in-
clined that way at all. If a Scotchman
goes to church at all, he goes three times
a clay, for pious reasons partly and in-
cidentally to get Ms money's worth.

President Burton was given a most
cordial reception when he stepped to the
front to deliver his annual address. It
was not lengthy but full of good sense.
At its conclusion the routine business
of the session began, which it is not my
province to report.

A Part of the Exhibit of M. Rice & Co., Philadelphia.

While some of the large eastern cities
might have done much better in attend-
ance, it is compensated for by splendid
delegations from smaller central cities,
and by just what we expected — hundreds
of new members from small towns of
the middle west.

We did not see that Chicago train of
thirteen cars arrive with standing room
only, but if the windows were open, the
hot air escaping must have scorched the
grass on both sides of the track.

We miss several good old familiar
faces, but John Westcott is here with
his bowling enthusiasm and famous
brand of S. A. F. brew, and that con-
vinces you a convention is on.

Detroit has sent a splendid delegation,
and if other towns had done anything
like as well, we should have to have over-
flow meetings.

Vice-President Pollworth is here and
there and everywhere and has more than
fulfilled all he promised, and does it all
with a perennial smile and no worry or
fuss. It is evident that the men of Mil-
waukee have worked hard in making this
a memorable and enjoyable convention.
And Mr. Holton, the superintendent of
exhibits, has had a great chore on his
hands and has succeeded.

Dear Baby Foley is not allowed to
stand too long in one spot, as the Ex-
position Building has been built some
years.

Phil nauswirth is working hard to ar-
range the great bowling match, and what
a game it will be. At least a dozen
teams will compete, and sixteen fine al-
leys In roll on. It was considered un-
fair that Anton Then and Fritz Bahr

One of the most picturesque features
of the convention is six stalwart men
from far off Denver, headed by J. A.
Valentine, a large six shooter in their
belts, a bowie in their boots, but those
are common things on the plains. Their
hats are the feature — soft grey felt,
three feet in diameter. I am afraid if
they do not win on the alleys the Red
Cross officers will have real work to do.

when President Burton spoke of ' ' this,

MODERN METHODS IN FLORAL
DECORATION.

The artistic arrangement of floral dee-
orations for best effect is an important
factor and well deserving the study of
the professional florist, especially the
younger generation, who are ambitious
to become proficient in their chosen pro-
fession.

A progressive movement in the ar-
rangement of floral effect has been man-
ifest to all observing admirers of the
blending of color and the graceful clus-
tering of Nature's most beautiful gifts.

The incongruous massing of flowers
regardless of harmony of color, ignor-
ing surroundings where it is desirous to
produce an artistic effect, is frequently
the cause of failure and disappointing
results.

Church weddings of the present day,
where the decorator has been given
carte blanche, or a liberal remunera-
tion for his material and artistic skill,
are certainly an improvement on the
decorations of auld lang syne; no reflec-
tion on the ability and refined taste of
the operator of the past. Lacking the
material from which to select for pleas-
ing and beautiful effects, set designs of
decapitated flowers entered largely into
the arrangements. Specimens of the
graceful and stately kentia with its
dark, rich foliage, contrasting in color
and characteristic habit, with Areca
lutescens; the expansive foliage of La-
tania borbonica and other natives of
the tropics could not then be obtained
in stately specimens as today.

One of the most important factors
in church wedding embellishment is the
proper grouping of the magnificent
palms, elevated to the proper height,
not in a conglomerated mass. but
grouped to show individuality and grace-
ful habit.

In the floral arrangements cut flow-
ers with long stems are now, and should
be, used wherever most effective. The
sacred altar and chancel decorated with
a tasteful profusion of white flowers
and Asparagus plumosus ; columns or
arches garlanded with the same attrac-
tive green or perhaps, which is more
pleasing in a large hall or church, the
glossy foliage of southern smilax, in-
troduced in the north a few years ago
and now almost indispensable to the
floral decorator.

The lycopodium, or Christmas green
roping, which was considered very es-
sential in days of yore, is almost obso-
lete excepting for the Christmas fes-
tivities.

The decorators should ever bear in
mind to obtain a successful result the
treatment of the church should be as
pleasing and effective on entering the
holy edifice as at the altar.

The decoration of the home for the
wedding festivities has been somewhat
revolutionized. We seldom behold flow-
ers contorted in such emblems as cupid's
darts, bow and arrow, or balls of flow-
ers massed in solids and suspended in
some prominent place in the drawing
rooms. The ancient wedding bell ap-
pears to be the only reminiscence of
' ' Ye olden time ' ' and its apparent fas-
cinating influence on the fair sex justifies
the belief that the old emblem may con-
tinue to ring joyfully for many moons
to come.

In modern treatment of the house the
same conditions may be adhered to as
in the church or hall. The grouping of
the plants, artistically arranged in the
parlors in a selected corner, forms a
bower, giving sufficient space for the
performance of the wedding ceremony
and for the bridal party to receive its
congratulations. The wire frame in the
shape of a canopy, covered with green
and wired flowers, has lost its popular-
ity and is now supplanted by the digni-
fied palm.

The banked mantels of growing adian-
tum, interspersed with long-stemmed
roses of one color, arranged in a loose
and natural habit, are much more attrac-
tive than the ancient formal stereotyped
arrangement, where so much wood and
wire entered into the construction. Gar-
lands of Asparagus plumosus, or smilax,

fective, orchids with stems in water con-

t.iined in small glass tubes, to prevent
wilting, vases of long-stemmed cut flow-
ers of distinct color, harmonizing with
the decorations of the different rooms
to be treated, are more preferable and
artistic than the former everyday bas-
ket arrangement, . even if the durability
of the flowers were the only considera-
tion. It is gratifying to observe there
is less ribbon used in conjunction with
floral decorations than formerly. While
ribbon embellishment is not objection-
able sometimes on floral designs, it is
somewhat out of character garlanded
with flowers and smilas in the draw-
ing room decorations.

The construction or arrangement of
the bridal bouquets of previous years
was formal and compact. I will not
reflect so far to the past as to refer
to the camellia and tube-rose bouquets
of thirty-five years ago, with a border
of bristol board paper surmounted by an
edging of silk fringe, but contrast the
progress in floriculture of later years.
The introduction and growing of im-
proved varieties of roses, orchids and
novelties of every family in flora, all
assist the artist in forming the beauti-
ful and graceful bouquets of the times.
Flowers are never more admired, nor
do they appeal to us more favorably in
decorations of any kind than when ar-
rayed as near as possible to Nature's
handiwork.

The treatment of the residence for re-
ceptions or dinner entertainments is.
somewhat similar to decorations for the
wedding celebration.

Illustrating the decoration for a mod-
ern festivitv, we cannot do better than
describe in detail one of the many
which came under our own consideration.
Groups of palms arranged for best
effect were relieved by cut branches of
Porsythea Fortunii, Spireea prunifolia
and Pyrus japonica, forced for the oc-
casion," loosely arranged in concealed
vases of water. Mantels and mirrors
were banked and treated with the same
flowering shrubs, all producing a very
pleasing effect. Stairways were pro-
fuselv garlanded with Asparagus plum-
osus and forsythea, descending to the
main floor, where the dining room, li-
brarv, parlors and conservatory were
thrown into one great dining room. The
tables, which seated 300 guests, were
constructed to order, the center portion
built separately, six inches below the
outer sides for the placing of growing
orchids in pots. With tubs concealed

under the tables, the trunks coming
through twelve feet apart, specimens of
Kicksonia antartica eight feet in height
were utilized, their tropical and graceful
fronds producing an admirable and
tasteful decoration. Hidden and sus-
pended in the fronds by flexible wires
were many glass tubes of water, each
containing sprays of eattleya orchids.

Growing orchids embellished the man-
tels, festoons of Asparagus plumosus in-
terspersed with eattleya orchids beauti-
fied the mirrors, and the conservatory
in the background, in brilliant colors of
potted azaleas, sheltered, as it were, by
the overhanging branches of tropical
foliage, completed one of the most orig-
inal and elaborate decorations of the
season.

Now, as to the accomplishment of suc-
cess in these "modern methods," it
must be remembered that these results
can be attained, so far as artistic ef-
fects and charming designs are con-
cerned, without any expensive and elab-
orate process and with even limited
means at one's disposal.

If one has the love of flowers and
the soul of the artist within him, as
every florist worthy of the name should
have, the "modern methods" become a
delight and the development of a satis-
factory contract an easy possibility. Any
intelligent florist can succeed, who gives
proper thought and study to his deco-
rative department, and realizes that
therein lie the greatest opportunities for
his own development and the certain
growth of his business.

One must be alert, progressive, am-
bitious and a student to achieve lasting
success in these modern days. With the
growth of capital come greater demands
and larger opportunities, and to fill the
demands of the wealthy, originality,
tact and ability to advise must be con-
tinually cultivated. There is no limi-
tation "to the growth of the taste for,
and elaborateness of, floral decorations.
Its future will be a giant in comparison
with what has been accomplished in the
past. There is no "method" of the
present that does not admit of improve-
ment, and to be "modern" we must live
in the future and grow upward to its in-
evitable demands.

Should time permit, it would be inter-
esting to look at another side of our
subject, and that is the achievements
of our time in the decorations of im-
mense buildings, for national events,
such as the inaguration of a president

or the graceful testimonies of respect
and grief when a hero is buried. But
this opens up a field that our limited
time forbids us to enter. Again, an-
other demonstration of floral decoration
Hashes across our vision, and we behold
what art and nature combined to pro-
duce in the glorious floral effects at the
World's Fair in Chicago. Now comes
another exposition, building at St.
Louis, by ' ' modern methods, ' ' grander
results than were even imagined ten
short years ago, and demonstrating to
all the world, as it will, that Flora is
the American queen, and that in our
devotion to her, and in ability to utilize
her handiwork, we lead the nations.

It would be an interesting study to
consider how, under efficient supervision,
the modern methods will be utilized in
working out the perfected accomplish-
ments in decorative floral and horticul-
tural achievements, that will make our
glorious country in this respect, the ad-
miration of the centuries.

MODERN GREENHOUSE CON-
STRUCTION.

BT JOHN N. MAY, SUMMIT, N. J.

Why I have been chosen to talk to you on
this subject is a conundrum to me. When
Your secretary wrote me some two mouths
iiL'o. asking- me to prepare a paper on this
subject. I told him that I was not in a
position to do justice to it. as I have not
any of the so-called modern lemses of my
own. and have not had time to investigate
them properly in other places and so de-
clined to handle it. One week ago I re-
ceived another letter from him reading
something like this: "I like to see your
name in the program and am going to put it
there, and trust to providence and you. as
I have done more than once before — so fire
awav. Yours, Stewart."

Now the weather is a little too warm to
need fire at the present time, besides I do
not like the stoke hole well enough to go
down there to make fires: coal is also too
expensive to burn it unnecessarily.

Regarding the sentence, "trust to provi-
dence." here he is off bis base and the um-
pire should declare him out : because if he
had given this subject to one of the florists
of that fine old city of Rhode Island you
might have had an interesting and instrue-
tive paper prepared, instead of a running
talk, as must always be the result of any
thing written on a train going at something
less or more than forty miles an hour —
partienlarlv when that train is praeti.allv
full of florists out for a royal good time,
with many of them, though not full in the
common term, yet generally pretty merry. So
under these circumstances I trust you will
not be too severe in your criticisms of my
shortcomings in what I may have to say
about modern greenhouse construction, be-
cause this word "modern" applies to all
sorts and sizes of greenhouses, ranging from
one of 6x8 all the way to others 50 feet

wide by 400 or 500 Or 600 feet long, and
each and all of these have their especial
use and claim to modern construction.

Some are built of practically all iron, or
rather steel ; others a combination of iron
and wood; others again nearly all wood.
Which of these is the most desirable, all
Ihings considered, is yet an open question.

For the general florist, the flrst question
in building a greenhouse to be considered
is the cost, and with many, this is a verv
important matter, as every additional dollar
expended on it means additional yearly cost
in interest on the investment; for no matter
how you figure it. the money put into anv
kind of a business should be charged with
the interest yearly — whether it may be
linn-owed monev. or ready cash on hand.
This brings us face to face with the differ-
ent kinds of greenhouses most desirable to
build.

In deciding this point, the next question
that comes up is that of durability in con-
junction with flrst cost. If a house, say,
of any given size, costing 50 per cent more
when built of the most expensive material--
than another built of a cheaper grade of
material, but with the same quality of
glass in each, if the more expensive' one
can be safely guaranteed to stand in good
order for twice the length of time than
the cheaper one will, then it would be a
safe investment to adopt the higher priced
one as a general rule. But this is another
open question, which I. for one, would not
like to venture an opinion on. Many of
our younger florists will have ample oppor-
tunity to judge of this in a few years.

That there have been improvements made
in modern greenhouse building within the
last twenty years, no one will deny, but
not all the changes made in construction
can. I think, be called improvements. The
adoption of much larger glass, with a cor-
responding lighter grade of woodwork, pro-
ducing, as it does, a much brighter light
in the interior of the greenhouse, is, un-
questionably, an improvement in producing
a better and larger quantity of cut flowers
(luring the dull, cloudy months of winter.
But, are such extra light houses any benefit
for general plant culture — as a general rule.
I think not.

Another point of improvement, consid-
ered so at least by many, is the size of
the greenhouse. It is an undisputed fact
that a large volume of air enclosed in a
greenhouse can be maintained at a more
even temperature much easier than a small
volume can; In other words, a house, s-
.'10x100 f»et, can be kept at a much more
even temperature than two houses each
15x100. The two having the same rela-
tive amount of glass and volume of air as
the one larger one. This is an advantage, es-
pecially as the consumption of coal is less
to maintain an equal heat in the large
house than in the two small ones, hence
the reason why some of our live florists
are building much larger houses than for-

Some will probably ask. what is the best
form or style of house to build? This is
purely a matter of choice with each one
contemplating building, because there are
so many different forms in use, and all
have their advocates, and as far as my
limited observation goes, almost all of them
will produce good flowers in quantity.

The system of ridge and furrow built
house without any partitions, leaving a
clear open space

vords. a large area covered with u
■ertainly has many features to comt
t. In a little trip around among

florists- establishments last winter, I was
particularly struck with the fine, healthy
growth and abundance of bloom (roses)
which I saw in one such a range of green
houses near Chicago. I considered it at
the time the best I saw in my whole trip.
There are also very large establishments.
practically all built in this style, around
Toronto, Canada.

In other sections I saw what is known as
the short-span to-the south style of house.
These never struck me as favorable, for
rose growing especially. In fact, I have
yet to see where any advantage is gamed
for any class of flowers or plants by this
method of construction and it is certainly
tile most expensive to heat of any system
I know of. having much the largest area of
glass exposed to the north.

Another style of house, which is gaining
in favor to a. large degree, is a very wide
house with equal span, each being a sep-
arate structure. These are very light and
have many points of advantage over the
others named above and for certain vari-
eties of roses, such as American Beauties,
they are certainly much better adapted,
when the side walls are made high enough
to allow the walk next to the side wall
and with low benches or raised beds from
the surface of even height all throughout
the house.

Such very wide houses should have a
double row of ventilators at the ridge and
side ventilators, also to give ample circula-
tion of air in hot weather ; and as far as
my observation and experience goes should
have a pitch of the roof of 34 to 3G de-
grees: or. in other words, a fall of from 7 '•■;
to 8 inches to the foot. This applies to
all and every class of greenhouse, whether
large or small, for the production of cut
flowers in winter.

In conclusion I would suggest that those
contemplating adding new- greenhouses to
can-fully investigate ea.-h of the different
classes of buildings before deciding in every
case. I think it would well repay them to
see the houses several times and under dif-
ferent conditions of weather, to enable
them to form a fair and correct opinion of
which particular style of house will best
suit their purpose: and remember that soil
and location of the greenhouse, combined
with proper management, is a very large
factor in producing the best quality of flow-

CHRYSANTHEMUMS.

Buds.

We are once more arriving at an im-
portant period and that is, the time
for the selection of the buds. Many
growers seem afraid to take what is
known as the crown bud, some because
they have happened at some time or
other to take it too early and lost the
flower altogether, and others because
they are unacquainted with the bud and
its possibilities. The grower for exhibi-
tion takes the crown bud on practically
all the varieties. He has to take some
chances by so doing, but he knows that
flowers produced from crown buds are
infinitely superior in size and depth to
the ones produced from terminals.

Many commercial growers have an

idea that if they take buds in August
the flowers will come much earlier. There
may be some difference in the times of
flowering between crowns and terminals
but it is hardly worth considering and
in fact with some varieties the terminal
bud will open first. I have taken buds
on Robinson, for instance, on August
21. These were of course crowns, and
I have taken terminals the 12th of Sep-
tember and had the flower from the
terminal bud cut on October 18, while
the flower from the crown bud was not
ready until October 23.

The flowers from the crown buds were
worth more than double the price of the
others, because while the later growth
had been making stem and foliage the
crown bud had been laying up to itself
treasures of petals so that when the
flowers developed the early bud had
produced a flower more than twice the
size of the others.

An argument against the taking of the
crown bud with some growers is that
the plants make a long, weak neck which
is unable to hold the' flower erect. This
is true in some cases, but it is almost
always the fault of the grower himself.
When a man crowds his plants on the
benches so that the growth is long-
jointed and sappy, he will always get a
long neck to his flowers, but if the
plants are grown right, that is, given a
reasonable space to develop in, with lots
of ventilation so that they will make a
short-jointed, hardy growth, there will
be no trouble about the long, bare neck.
There is a time and place for everything
and while we may admire a long, grace-
ful, swan-like neck when it is attached
to a charming girl in a fashionable ball-
room, we do not like to see Mrs. Robin-
son with a neck so weak that her head
is falling over onto Colonel Appleton's
shoulder when they are growing together
on the greenhouse bench.

Some few varieties do have a weak
stem, but they are kinds that are handled
only by the exhibition grower, such as
Madam Carnot, Durbin's Pride and so
on, and the chief reason they fall over
is because they make such enormous
flowers.

Some wholesale growers catalogue
varieties in what I think is a misleading
manner, thus: Take first crown on such
;i variety. Now it may happen that a
hud will be produced in June or July and
this would certainly be a first crown. 1
have often seen buds taken too early
where the grower was more or less of a
novice and was interpreting the informa-
tion he read literally, whereas had the

and consequently mature slower and bet-
ter. When crown buds and terminal
buds are taken on the same bati b of
plants, the terminal bud will be rushed
too much if the house is kept sufficiently
warm for the proper development of
the crown bud, which requires a night
temperature of 45 to 50 degrees.

How the term of "crown" bud orig-
inated I have never been able to find
out, though it is as good a name as any
so long as it is generally understood.
A crown bud is always known by the
third or fourth growth shoots that ap-
pear around it and which, if not removed
when in a very small state, soon rob the
bud of its sustenance and spoil it. Where
the crown bud is showing too early it is
removed, and the best of these growths
is retained to go on and grow along,
and this in due season produces another
bud, crown or terminal as the case may
be.

The terminal bud is so called because
it is the terminus of growth and instead
of having the growth shoots clustered
round it has several small buds surround-
ing the larger central one. This large
center bud must always be kept because
the plant will not make any further
growth and if the bud be rubbed off as
the previous ones were no others will form
and the crop will be a failure. I have
tried to be explicit in these remarks,
showing how to tell the difference be-
tween the buds, because every year I
get considerable correspondence from
people mi the subject which shows that
there is much confusion in the lay mind
as to which is which. The expert grower
scans these notes on buds and perhaps
wonders who in this twentieth century
doesn't know a bud when he sees it, and
yet many people not so well posted can-
not understand the crown bud, because

the plant if left to itself grows on and
on until the flo.wer is finally produced
from the terminal bud. It is just one
instance where man's interference im-
proves on nature.

The great bulk of the midseason
\arieiies come till right from the first
bud produced after the 20th of August,
that is to say in these northern latitudes
where the plants are grown under glass.
There are seme few exceptions. Colonel
Appleton, for instance, not because the
flower will not develop from an August
crown, but because a later bud to my
mind produces a much more pleasing
Sower, the earlier bud being so crowded
with petals that the flower is rough and
shapeless. The "topknot" so familiar
to growers of Appleton does not appear
when the later bud is used.

It used to be our practice to use a
late bud for all the pinks, but varieties
are changing and such varieties as
Lady Harriet, Mrs. Coombes and Mrs.
Barkley produce just as good colored
flowers on crown as terminals with the
added advantage of coming very much
larger. Many of the varieties of Eu-
ropean and Australian origin are of lit-
tle use taken on any but crown buds.
Nellie Pockett, which is a great favorite,
is useless from the terminal, while the
crown bud produces a lovely flower. The
new- Mrs. T. W. Pockett is much the
same, this being one of the most ex-
quisite varieties ever sent out. On all
of the Australian novelties which created
such a sensation last fall the buds should
be secured now as early as possible.

The operation of disbudding should be
done in the early morning while the
young shoots are soft and brittle. Then
they break off easily without injuring
the tiny bud. Hold the stem close up
to the bud with the one hand and pick
out the shoots with the thumb and fore-
finger of the other. All of these shoots
should bo removed at the earliest pos-
sible moment so that the energies of the
plant tire kept concentrated directly on
the bud.

Personally I always use the thumb nail,
but perhaps there is no need for the aver-
age grower to do such fine work as that.
Seme growers leave a reserve shoot for
a few days to make sure that the bud is
perfect, but ordinarily there is not much
need of this precaution unless grasshop-
pers happen to be plentiful. They de-

light to behead the bud or, in sportive

u 1, "ill playfully nibble away half of

it and then the grower later on finds to
his disgust that his flowers are coming
one-sided.

As the crown bud swells it develops
into a hard, husky-looking lump, that
looks like making anything but a fine
flower, but patience will be richly re-
warded.

Some varieties, like Eaton, open up
and have a cup shaped hollow in the
center. With these varieties spraying
overhead must be discontinued early or
the water will lodge in the bud and cause
it to rot, but common sense only need be
exercised in their management.

CARNATION NOTES-WEST.

Last year I said in these notes that
after you finish planting in your carna-
tions you should pot up from 5 to 10
per cent as many plants as you benched
so that you can replace those that may
die out. I hope you did so last year
and if you did, you likely did the same
this year. No doubt you remember how
unsatisfactory it was when you tried
to replant a plant here and there
direct from the field. They suf-
fer just as much as the whole
bench did when you first planted
and to run around and dot your
beds with sheets of paper every morn-
ing and replace them every few min-
utes on windy days is no pleasant job.
After the plants are in pots from two
to four weeks you plant them into the
beds here and there and they will go
right on growing and never wilt a leaf.
Of some varieties you may not lose 1
per cent, while on others you may lose
as much as 10 per cent, and after you
become acquainted with the varieties
you will be able to tell pretty nearly
what you are likely to need to replant.
Of course it will depend as much on the
soil and the handling in general, but
you will know which varieties trans-
plant easily and which ones usually suf-
fer a great deal.

This has been almost an ideal carna-
tion season with us. The nights have
been cool and the days only moderate-
ly warm. After a rather too dry May
we had a moist June which caused the
young plants to make a good, strong
growth. July was rather dry again,
which caused the growth to mature well
and all during planting time it re-
mained rather dry and the plants grew
slowly and kept in good transplanting
condition up to the present date. We
had practically finished planting by the
10th and never before have our plants
taken hold so quickly and so uniformly.
Here and there a plant is gone, but I
can safely say that not 1 per cent has
gone wrong. Those planted first are be-
ginning to shoot up now and looking
over tin- beds you can see quite a few
buds almost ready to open and unless
the plants happen to be undersized we
will let them come, as there is sale for
them even now.

All the shade has been washed from
the glass over these and all the air pos-
sible is given them to encourage a strong,
sturdy growth. As the roots strike out
they will enjoy a more liberal supply of
water and in fact you can water the
whole bed from now on.

About this time it is a good idea to
stir a light coat of lime or wood ashes
into the soil to help keep it sweet, and

in a week or two a thin mulch of half
rotted manure will help that first crop
of flower shoots to get a start, besides
preventing rapid drying out of the
soil. We aim to water the plants well
in the morning, according to the state
of moisture the soil may be in and right
after noon on warm days we damp down
the walks and syringe lightly overhead
and of course water what dry spots there
may be. On cloudy days the morning
watering usually suffices. From this time
on you handle them just as near like
you do in winter as circumstances will
allow.

Eegular fumigating should commence
in the houses that have been planted four
weeks or more even if you do not see
any greenfly. Yon don't want to wait
until they begin to carry away the plant
before you begin to fight them, but you
should never let them get a foothold on
your place. There are other greenhouse
pests that will likely bother you, but I
will make them the subjects of my notes
in the near future.

I do not see anything in the argument
Mr. Lambert is putting up in defense of
his article on watering carnations in the
field in a recent issue of the Review.
Now he says he waters when water rs
needed, though he does not say what
condition the plants should be in when
the water is needed, but from the tone of
his remarks one would judge that it was
done only when the plants become very
dry and arc really suffering for water.
That is correct and I have never so much
as hinted that in such cases watering
should not be resorted to, but I have al-
ways said and I say it again that such
eases are extremely rare if cultivating is
properly done.

In his first article Mr. Lambert said
that he watered his carnations outside
just as he watered them in the house,
when water was needed, which would
lead any one to believe after reading
his remarks about cultivating that he
watered regularly like you would an
a.ster bed or some other blooming crop.
That is the kind of watering I object to.
I say that as long as you ran touch
moist, soil with the teeth of the culti-
vator you need not water even while the
plants are making their growth and later
on about planting time they can get

drier than that. We have gone through
rainless spells of from four to six week?
without any serious harm, but they are
extremely rare. Of course a sandy soil
that dries out rapidly will not stand a
long spell like that without burning up
the plants. I claim that a moderatelv
dry summer will produce better (not
larger) plants than even a moderately
wet season. Mr. Lambert says he can-
not fin i where he says that frequent
watering or excessive rains do not cause
stem-rot. Here are his words, can you
make anything else out of them? "Be-
lieving as I do that stem-rot arises from
the composition of the soil and condi-
tions of the fertilizers used and not from
moisture, I have always watered my field
carnations as I water them in the houses,
etc. ' ' Mr. Lambert ignored the fact
that stem-rot is caused by a fungus and
that that fungus is very apt to be pres-
ent wherever there is decaying vegetable
matter, and that while it is kept dry it
remains in a dormant state and that
moisture will cause it to become active.
The fact that he uses very little or no
stable manure is one reason why he has

no trouble with stem-rot ;
are other reasons.

His argument that
produce moisture is vc
it does not produce '
that in nine summer!
there is enough rain
carnation . plants

possibly there

ation will not
>ak. Of course
but I claim
of every ten
o grow good
ill manage so
that the plants can have the use of what
water falls. This can be done by fre-
quent cultivating or mulching, the for-
mer being the most practical in the
field. I should like to see Mr. Lambert
take a part of his carnation patch an-
other year and cultivate it every week
■it least once and water only when the
soil dries out deep enough so he can not
turn up moist soil with his cultivator,
and see if he does not have a finer lot
of carnation plants six weeks after
planting them in the house than the ones
he watered all summer. The proof in the
pudding is in the eating thereof.

Seasonable Hints.

The cold damp nights which have pre-
vailed during August and which re-
mind us of late September weather, are
already showing their effects by the ap-
pearance of black spot and mildew.

Where the place is of such dimensions
as to warrant the keeping of a night
watchman these conditions need give us
little or no trouble. He can by keeping
an eye on the outside temperature so
regulate the ventilation that no sud-
den change of temperature inside may
occur. But in the thousands of places
where the extent of glass is below 30,000
feet, and where the space occupied by
roses may not be even the half of that,
keeping a night man during the sum-
mer months appears in most cases too
big a drain on the prospective profits
to be safely indulged in. and the in-
genuity and skill required in overcom-
ing these unfavorable conditions at
small cost, will be the cause of many
anxious hours.

Black spot is usually engendered by
some condition which causes a sudden
cheek to root action, thus lowering the
vitality of the plants, such as overwater-
ing during cold, damp weather, when
evaporation is slow, and which from
now on must be carefully guarded
against.

On the first appearance of spot the
soil in the benches should be allowed
to become moderately dry, and all af-

fected leaves carefully
burned, giving plent

nearly bare of foliage a spraying once
a week with the following mixture will
stop it from spreading and if persisted
in will ultimately overcome it: Car-
bonate of copper, 5 ounces; ammonia,
3 quarts, and CO gallons of water, using
a nozzle that will make a fine spray.
Every part of the leaf should be washed.

If firing has to be resorted to thus
early in the season care will be needed
not to get the foliage too soft, a condi-
tion which is easily acquired, but from
which it is difficult to get extricated be-'
fore the winter begins. This can tie
obviated by careful watering and ample
but judicious ventilation. When neces-
sary to fire up every advantage should
be taken of the opportunity to have the
pipes painted with the sulphur mixture
to hold mildew in check.

I may here take notice of a practice
much in vogue among the less experi-
enced growers, viz., that of shutting
•down for the night at quitting time.
This has often the effect of causing the
temperature to take a sudden jump of
8 or 10 degrees. This is a practice which
ought to be abandoned at once, as it
makes the foliage of a soft and flabby
nature, ill suiting them to withstand the
vicissitudes of forcing. A little extra
time devoted to gradually reducing the
ventilation till after sundown will be
well repaid.

Mr. Scott 's advice anent summer firing
in his last week's notes are timely and
to the point. I entirely agree with him
regarding the September crop of mildew
and think the grower who welcomes such
a visitant must hold a unique position
among rosarians.

A few years ago a firm noted as Beauty
growers, but whose houses were so sit-
uated that the conditions during Sep-
tember invariably induced a crop of
black spot, put out a statement in one of
our contemporaries that they rather liked
this visitor, as it helped to thin out the
too dense foliage. I noticed, however,
that within the year they went to con-
siderable trouble and expense to overcome
these unsatisfactory conditions.

When the foliage is so dense as to
exclude the sun's rays from the surface
of the bench it is a good plan to remove
some of it; but I would rather have it
done under my personal direction than
leave the selection to Mr. Blackspot,
whose questionable industry is frequently
difficult to curb.

Such unqualified statements emanat-
ing from growers of undoubted skill and
ability are dangerous and apt to lead the
less experienced into perilous paths.

NEW YORK.

All Aboard for the Convention.

There were nearly 100 happy excur-
sionists at the West Shore rendezvous
Sunday afternoon, as we predicted, but
not nearly so near 100 as there should
have been by a large majority. In
other words, when the noses were all
counted — and many of the noses shone
with the healthful tan acquired at moun-
tain and seaside resorts — it was found
that the total number of "souls" pres-
ent did not quite reach the figures of
last year, much to our wonderment and
regret. However, a goodly number
started for Milwaukee at earlier dates
and by other routes, so that the "con-
tingent ' ' when reckoned collectively at
the ' ' Cream City ' ' will not be so dis-
creditable after all. The day was ideal
for traveling — cool and cloudy — and the
comfort of all amply provided for by the
West Shore's chaperon, Mr. Louis Haff-
ner, while for the ' ' inner ' ' man and
woman, Mr. Walter Sheridan had
thoughtfully gathered some of the best
the market affords in liquid exhilaration,
the good effects of which manifested
themselves far into the night. It was
a very happy and harmonious family
that filled the Pullmans reserved for the
New York Florists' Club, and as the
journey progressed its numbers increased
until the company was completed by the
addition of the massive delegation from
Boston and the beneficent Peter Crowe,
of Utica. I say "massive" advisedly,
for Fred Mathison was one of ' ' the
old guard ' ' and his charming person-
ality outbalances that of two "ordin-
ary ' ' men.

We missed the pleasant interludes that
characterized our trip last year to Ashe-
ville. There was no Philadelphia fra-
ternizing, no banquet at Washington, no
"angels feet," the novelty of new ter-
ritory was lacking. All of us had sailed
the classie Hudson, had looked upon the
glorious mountains, and revelled in the

exhilarating ozone of the Catskills many
a time before. So we concentrated our
magnetisms and proceeded to become
' ' better acquainted. ' ' It was a gath-
ering always observant of the proprieties
and never forgetful of the day. But
after the hour of midnight a few lovers
of "revelry" indulged in the harmless
pastimes of bridge whist and hearts,
and other and similar orthodox amuse-
ments, while the majority slept "the
sleep of the just" and arose refreshed
amid the quiet and purity of Canadian
environments. At Kingston, Captain
Lang, of the bowling team, joined us,
fresh from his mountain farm, and laden
with fruit from his "own vine and fig
trees. ' ' We picked up a good sized fel-
low at Kingston, Mr. Burgevin, and later
on the ' ' Bostonese. ' ' Our train was a
little late at Detroit, so that the boys
who came to the station to greet us
were disappointed and our stay was brief.
The perfect weather we find as we
journey westward insures a great at-
tendance from towns and cities adjacent
to Milwaukee. It seems a pity we could
not have gathered in the Buffalo and
Detroit hosts, but it was not to be. Each
city was ambitious to have a "special"
and doubtless both have sent delegations
quite equal in size to our own. The
ladies who accompanied us were not num-
erous, but their quality was unsurpassed.
Chatterton Warburton added glory to
his halo by chaperoning Mrs. Fernley, of
Fall Eiver, and his nieces, the Misses
Halford, of Lawrence, Mass. The
young ladies sang sweetly and won all
hearts by their musical contributions. Mr.
( lelschig, of Savannah, Ga., was our only
' ' addenda ' ' from the sunny south.
Father Smith, of Washington, was
among those welcomed at Rotterdam
Junction. Everybody was glad to see
' ' the old man eloquent. ' ' Boston seemed
a little lopsided without Warren Ewell.
John N. May was back from his outing
in much improved health and was remi-
niscent in memories of English exper-
iences of the long ago. C. W. Ward and
Henry Siebrecht were among the missing.

ST. LOUIS.

The Market.

The trade in cut flowers has not im-
proved much since last reports, but the
quality of the stock has, and the whole
sale houses are better supplied with
good roses from young plants than they
have been for some time back. Bride
ind Bridesmaid are much better and so
are Perle. Kaiserin and Meteor are

good in color and foliage. Some g I

Carnot, from Belle Miller. Springfield,
III., are in the market. The best rosea
bring $6 and from that down to $1 per
100. Beauty are also much better than
they have been.

Good carnations are very scarce and
the few that come in are small and short
and not of much use for any kind of
tvork. Asters are not good this year,
although quite plentiful. Good whites
are selling as high at $1.50 to $2, but
the bulk of them are sold at $1 per LOO.
Gladioli are still very plentiful, but
meet with very little sale and are sold
as low at $2 per 100 stalks. Single
tuberose stalks are fine, with quite a de-

mand at $5 per 100 stalks. Other out-
door stock has very little call. The
fine lily of the valley that comes to this
market has not much of a demand at
present. Smilax is very good, with fair
demand. Other greens, such as adian-
tum, asparagus, galax and fancy ferns
are selling well.

Florists' Club Meeting.
August meeting of the Florists'
held August 13 at Brother Jab-

the members are loud in their praise of
the manner in which they were enter-

The very hard rain in the morning did
not seem to lun.- much effect on the at-
tendance, which cumbered nearly thirty.
On arriving at Suburban Park Mr. Jab-
lonsky was in waiting and eseorted the
members to his place a block away.
After inspecting his place, which was
found in first-class shape, well kept and
clean, the meeting was opened by Presi-

going on

There has been ver;
in a business way this week. For some
little time the local retailers have been
complaining that trade was nut up to
last summer and in the last few days
shipping requirements have not been as
heavv as the wholesalers think they
should be. The call is usually for a
few Beauties. Liberties or Meteors, all
scarce items, but good Brides and Maids
are salable at good figures, 6 cents be-
ing paid for some of the best stuff cut
from old plants. The cut from young
stock is steadily improving but is not
yet large. Indoor carnations are pretty
well over but outdoor stock, short-
stemmed, is plentiful. Asters are in
heavy supply, but the quality of most of
the receipts is away below par. The
low grade stuff is hard to sell at any
price but special, long-stemmed stock
with good flowers sells all the way from
$2 to'$M and is in good demand. White
is scarce. The auratum season is near-
ing its end, some growers being already
out, but there is still plenty of stock.
There are some fine gladioli and good
dahlias are at hand, but not selling any
too well.

Various Notes.
Chas. Erickson is still cutting some
very fine Brides and Maids, not haviiy
as yet thrown out his old stock. He is
going into carnations exclusively next
year.

E. C. Amliug says that the supply of
Asparagus plumosus strings was prob-
ably tour times as large the past sea-
aon as the one before. The demand
shows a steady increase and he is look-
ing for good 'business on this specialty
this fall and winter.

plain of.

Business is still very slow, although
some of the stores last week had a
bunch of funeral work. T. M. Flam &
Co. seemed to have a little the best
of it m that line.

The flut of asters and gladioli is still
with us; the wholesale house is crowded
with stock all the time.

The Pittsburg Cut Flower Co. is get-
ting in some very nice Maids, Brides and
Liberties for this time of the year.
Notes.
Last week the common salutation was
"Are you going to Milwaukee?" and
it evidently had some effect, as there
was a delegation of eighteen left Pitts-
burg Sundav at 6 p. m., to arrive at Mil-
waukee at 7 a. m. Tuesday. The route
is P. R. R- lines to Cleveland ; Cleveland
to Detroit by boat; Detroit to Grand
Unven l,» rail; (irand Haven to Mil-
waukee bv boat; fare $17 for the round
trip. This will be much more pleasant
than goine Btraighl through by rail.

J. F. Gibbs. ,,f Allegheny market, has
closed his stand for the summer and his
daughter, who manages his business there
for him, is traveling and enjoying her-
self until business starts in the fall.

John Baldinger is rusticating at Ava-
lon and fishing on the dam. He says.
••It is good fishing, but poor catching. ■
Abraham Hostetter, of Manheim, Pa-
wns one of our visitors this week on his
way to Iowa; but he expected to get to
the convention.

CINCINNATI.

The Market.
Still another week of fine, moderate
summer weather, and now it looks verv
much as if this season would pass with
out any sultry weather at all. There has
been very little rain, but owing to the
moderate temperature, flower beds and
outdoor stock in general, are in very
good condition.

Business is rather quiet. The demand
is very light and white Mowers are about
all for which there is any call. Ship-
ping trade is very good for the season
and this helps out a great deal.

The supply of nearly all varieties of
stock still remains quite good. Boses,
especially short-stemmed ones, are in
large supply. White and light pink sell
well, but Maids are a drug. Good long-
stemmed roses are few and sell out quick
ly. There is quite a demand for Ameri-
can Beauties, but the supply is very lim-
ited.

B. P. Critchell is cutting some of the
finest Brides and Maids that are coming
into this market. They are long-stem
med, with clean foliage and good sized,
well-colored buds. They sell quickly and
at top prices.

Carnations are still very scarce ani

poor in quality. As might 1 xpected,

there is a large demand for them and
notwithstanding their looks, they go at
good figures. Some of the pink ones are
good and bring 2 cents readily.

The supply of asters is diminishing
very rapidly. The early varieties are
very nearly cut out and Sample's Branch-
There are a e 1 many tuberoses and

soli

,l;ol

market. Some first-class spikes are hem^
handled. There is a limited supply oi
lily of the valley which is of very good
quality. Water lilies are seen now and
then, but there is not much sale for
them, except for show window purposes.
There is plenty -of greens of all de-
scription and it sells fairly well.

With the Cincinnati party were many
other florists who joined them here.
Among them were: Mr. and Miss Deake,
of Asheville; -Miss White, of Lexington.
Kv.: Messrs. Papworth, Valdejo and
others, from New Orleans.

C. S. Fu-.l. of Philadelphia. Pa., was
a cm Her. C. J. Ohmek.

The Market.

Although business was very slow dur-
ing the first few days of the month, it
now appears to be picking up and the
cool Heather has had its beneficial effect
upon stock generally. It is the general
comment on all sides that, with the ex-
ception of a few warm days, we have
had a very cool summer. This seems to
have helped everything, with the excep-
tion of Meteor, which is inclined to come
very dark in color where no fire heat
iv being used. Many small weddings have
made considerable demand for pink and
white roses, while the demand for table
cut flowers has kept up well.
Notes.
Toronto is at preseut making special
preparations for the great Dominion Ex-
hibition which is to be held here dur-
ing the first two weeks in September. Tins
should be especially interesting to the
horticultural trade, as the C. H. A. meets
.lining the first week and a special trade
exhibit is to be put up at the exhibition.
We hope to see many of our American
friends with us at that time and can
promise them a "Milwaukee" time.

Sinclair's commission house received
the first shipment the other day of carna-
tion blooms off young stock. They came
from C. Turp, of this city, and consisted
of Lawson and other leading varieties,
cut off indoor grown stock.

For early mums, we believe that E.
Jennings, of Brampton, leads, as he cut
his first this week.

Charles Tidy returned from a month's
fishing trip arid reports lots of bites, but
refrains from making any more definite
statement.

S. MacFadden, foreman for S. Tidy
& Son, is on a two weeks' vacation.

D. J.

Hall & Robinson, of Outremont, are
also building some houses of King con-
st met ion. We are waiting to see the
snow and how they will work then.

Joseph Bennett has housed all his car-
nations. Those from the field are a bit
larger than those planted in benches this
spring. A selected, new variety of munis
are on trial there. His Nephrolepis
Piersoni are just grand.

.1. Doyle is expected at Montreal in
the near future. His place in the dub
has never been filled since he left the
citv. A. Bee.

MONTREAL.

There is no improvement in I he trade,
yet enough is done to keep us alive. The
weather, dull so far. seems to be clear-
ing up a bit. Cut flowers are scarce all
around, excepting outdoor ones. Fine
asters are seen in some localities.

The members of the chili at their last
meeting received with pleasure, a writ-
ten invitation from T. Manton, presi-
dent of the <'. 11. A., to attend the con-
vention at Toronto, September 1'. Many
of the boys have signified their inten-
tion to attend.

The prospects for our chrysanthemum
show are all right so far, and prizes are
promised to be paid ill full. Any vari-
ety not yet disseminated is eagerly
sought for. Mums are making meat
growths; some new varieties are promis-
ing well. A new white delphinium has
been raised here by H. Drennan.

A. T. Copperthwaite, of Outremont,
is now a member of our club, being duly
elected at the last meeting.

William Hazel is on his third honey-
moon. He is well pleased with the
thanks of the chili for his zealous work
in behalf of our picnic.

P. McKenna &Son have torn down
all their old houses and barns and
opened their store at the comer of Guy
and St. Catherine streets.

s. S. Bain is erecting a double car-
nation house. L'niixfn feet, with iron
gutters. His American Realities are
looking fine since they are benched.

CROMWELL, CONN.

One of the most attractive houses on
the place at present is a house of thi
new yellow rose, Frank Deegen. It has
most certainly given every indication
thus far of being a profitable rose from
the commercial standpoint, ami it is a
rose which is popular with the flower
buying public, judging from the call for
it by the retailers. It has shown some
tendency to black spot, but this disease
can be controlled very easily with this
variety and its susceptibility to it is not
great enough to make this weakness a se-
rious defect.

The first Beauties have been cut and
in quality they tire the finest we havi
ever cut at this season of the year and
the house, as a whole, is in excellent con-
dition to produce high grade flowers.
Tins house was planted about the first of
May and has been practically free from
black spot thus far. A second house
0i Beauties, benched earlv in July, will

before December.

The finest rose of the season every-
where seems to be the Kaiserin, and
with us it is a very popular summer rose
and a house of it in full crop is one of
the attractions on the upper place.

On tin' lower place two very line
houses of Aditntum Farleyense attract
the most attention, but the numerous
chrysanthemum houses give promise of
a wealth of beauty in the fall.

Asters are coming in now and meeting

with a ready sale. These have 1 u

grown inside' and are far superior to
those grown in the field.

The Southern Nursery n's Associa-
tion was in session at Winchester, Term.,
August 19.

Silas Wiishx, of Atlantic, will have
charge of the Iowa horticultural exhibit
at St. Louis.

■1. C. Hale. Winchester. Tenn., says he
has four million peach trees for delivery
next fall and spring.

The Mankato Nursery, ('. U. Brooks,
manager, is to be removed from Man-
kato, Minn., to Little Falls. Minn. They
also have a nursery near Darling, Minn.

A nurseryman will have to have a li-
cense to do business in the State of Vir-
ginia after September 1, but the Amer-
ican Association of Nurserymen will test
the legality of the law.

\V. K. Ri ssei.l. of Vermilion, S. D.,
has a nice stock of trees and shrubs but
finds a local market for more than he
can produce and supplies the demand with
material from whole-ale nurseries.

The Ann Arbor railroad is building a
system of big hotels in the northern
M i' ' I- hi summer resort1 region, the sites
including many acre, and requiring mote
or less landscape work.

1'. B. Orton, whose nursery eight
mile- south of Kiowa, Kan., is not - •
Nor.v old, reports business increasing;
largely each year. He expects his total
output next, year will be not far from a
million trees.

Orlando Harrison, of Berlin; Charles
M. Peters, of Snow Hill. Md.; Wesley
Webb, of Dover, and A. W. Slaymaker,
of Camden, Del., were among the nursery-
men present tit the field meeting of the
Maryland state Horticultural Society, at

J. G. Harrison & Sons, Berlin, Aid.,
have budded about 5,000 peach trees
with a variety called Ray for W. F. Al-
len, of Salisbury, who obtained it from
a friend in Mississippi. It does not
seem to I a the market but is espe-
cially suited to a light, stindv soil.

PHILADELPHIA.

The Market.

The cut flower market is very quirt
now. Asters and dahlias are plentiful;
there are a good many gladioli; sweet
peas can still "be had of fair quality; val-
ley is rather poor. Japanese hydrangeas
( Panu-ulata gramlillora) have made
their appearance most decidedly, and in
a way that is very acceptable to makers
of inexpensive designs. Beauties are in-
creasing in number; some of them are
really fine for August. There is quite a
little shipping business to nearby sea-
shore resorts.

The Convention.

Philadelphia has sent a splendid ex-
hibit of plants, supplies, ribbons, etc., to
Milwaukee this week. A fair-sized dele-
gation left Broad Street Station on Mon-
day morning for the convention eity. A
few left earlier and a few more followed
after the main body. Those who went
were President John Burton, Robert
Craig, Leo Niessen, John Westcott, Ed-
ward Keid and familv, Joseph Heacock,
F. J. Michell, Charles D. Ball and wife,
Robert Kift, B. Eschner, Paul Berko-
witz, D. T. Connor, Julius Wolfe, Jr.,
Rupert Kienle, William Robertson, Ed-
ward Fancourt, Walter Yates, John "P
Sibson and wife, Martin Reukauf, Prank
Polites. John Kuhn, George ('. Watson,
Felix Meyers, William Falk and others.
For their success in the hall of debate,
in the exhibition and in the spurts you
must look in another column.
Notes.

C. A. Dunn returned this week from an
extended trip throughout the state.

Mrs. R. C. Smith, of Seeane, is send-
ing in some fine asters to the Flower
Market.

The Steamer Haverford, with S. S.
Pennoek on board, was delayed in the
Delaware river by running on a sand
bank.

R. G. Palmer is sending in so very

nice dahlias to the Flower Market.

One of the growers in the track of
the recent hail storm gives it as his
opinion that 16x24 glass suffered less
than any other size.

A good story is told of a dog recently
imported by Alexander B. Scott, of

isli

on that valuation. A friend was si. much
pleased with the animal that he asked
Mr. Seott to import him a pair like it.
A reply came from Ireland that a pair
could lint be had for less than $500. The
dog in question had been given to Mr.
Dixon by a friend, and the valuation $5
represented the gratuity given a man to
put the dog on the steamer.

Edward Reid will go from Milwaukee
to Ms home in Dakota for a vai-atimi.

AMIRICAN SEED TRADE ASSOCIATION.

Pres., 9. P. Wlllard, Wethersfield. Conn.; First
Vice-Pres., J. Chas MiTnllont'h. Cincinnati. c>;
Sec'y and Treas.. C. E. Kcndel. Cleveland, (i.
Th'' ■-'■-M animal meeting will be hold at St. Louis.

Pole beans are looking well in Cali-
fornia.

The seed trade in the ivest is in
healthy shape, a good season past and
another in prospect.

The prospect for a crop of either field
or sweet corn is not bright, in the opin-
ion of experienced crop inspectors.

A. B. Dicks, of Cooper, Taber & Co.,
London, reached New York, August 15
on his annual visit to American seed
houses.

Beginning August 10 the bureau of
statistics of the Department of Agricul-
ture gives reports on clover seed as well
as on clover for hay.

Seed exports for the twelve months
prior to .Inly 1 were: Clover seed, 15,-
522,527 pounds; flaxseed, 4,128,130
bushels; timothy seed. 18,289,917 pounds,
ami other grass seed valued at $581,773.

The Department of Agriculture has
published in Bulletin No. 42 descriptions
of udo, a new winter salad, and wasabi,
the horseradish of the Japanese, by
David G. Fairchikl, agricultural ex-
plorer.

Advice from Hamburg, Germany, says :
"We are going to have large crops of
timothy and trefoil and prices will range
low. New trefoil has appeared in the
markets. The quality is very good.
Prices are as low as 14 marks, which has
not been the case for years.

Secretary Wilson has ordered Spe-
cial Attorney George McCable, of the
department, to go to Philadelphia with
Special Assistant Attorney General J. A.
Tanner and take the testimony of Bur-
nett Landreth, the secretary ' of the
Wholesale Seedmen's League", to be used
by the government when the Mellis seed
contract comes up before the Court of
Claims next October.

Philadelphia. — Landreth & Sons are
offering all that part of their store

equipment devoted to the retail trade at
very tempting prices to effect quick sale;
this includes hoth stock and store fixtures.
Several outside firms sought to buy up
and continue the business, but upon
learning the rental — $11,000 per annum
— asked by the owners of the building,
thought differently.

Late advices from some of the pea
growing districts of Canada are definite.
Most early smoooth sorts will be de-
livered 100 per cent, must wrinkled sorts
75 per cent and some as low as 60 per
cent.

A small acreage of sugar corn is
grow a in tliis locality . mosl i> of 1 be Ei ei
variety, and at this writing the
outlook for properly matured seed is
very dubious. The weather is unusually
wet, the temperature is low both day
and night and recently a frost was uar-
rowly averted. The outlook for a favor-
able seed harvest in this locality is not
above 50 per cent and some putting it
as low as :',:; i-:; per cent of all varieties.

Death of W. E. Hearne.

William E. Hearne died of tuberculo-
sis, at the home of W. E. Kemble, Tues-
day, August 11, 1903.

Mr. Hearne had been ill for something
more than a year. He sought relief by
going to England and then California,
but all to no avail. He returned to Os-
caloosa this spring and was confined to
his bed soon after.

Mr. Hearne was born in London, Feb-
ruary 11, 1848. He came to this coun-
try with his parents when about four-
teen years of age, residing with an uncle
in New York. He came to Oscaloosa in
1885, and made his home here. He was
an expert florist and was considered an
authority on subjects pertaining to the
work.

The deceased was widely known and
was a prominent Mason as well as Elk.
The Masonic order conducted the serv-

Deceased is survived by his wife here
and a sister living in London.

Rantoul, III. — A 20-foot tower to
support a 60-barrel water tank is being
built on the Morris greenhouses. A hot
air pump was recently installed.

Mason, Mich. — Jesse Beech is build-
ing an addition to his greenhouse on
Maple street.

Everything plentiful but carnations
and sweet peas, and no one seems to miss
these very much with so great an over-
stock of roses, gladioli, asters, etc. There
is some kind of a hitch in the red rose
situation. Large local growers of
American Beauties are out of them, but
smaller producers seem able to supply
the small demand. There are no good
ones. Small Liberty roses are plenti-
ful enough, but larger ones none too
much so. Probably the hospital man
at the market is as busy as anyone in
connection with the business. He took
time last Saturday to make an inven-
tory of the asters entering the finan-
cial race at the Columbus avenue trade
for that day. Forty-one thousand was
the total. They did not all race for
first money. Most of them ran for
any old thing they could see!

"In time of peace prepare for war! "
Also in time of heat prepare for cold.
So it seems the flower market people
believe and are now installing a heat-
ing plant in their ware room under the
management of Iliffe, the veteran heat-
ist from Somerville. It is a business-
looking affair and advertises well for

There is quite a bit of heavy repair-
ing going on among the florists and the
Waban Rose people claim the record on
putting up and planting a 700x40 house
of American Beauties, now just finished,
first rafter put up June 16 and roses
going in July 27. J. S. Mantek.

The Weekly Florists' Review,

Ai'<;i nt 'JO. is»i>:-;

STEAM VS. HOT WATER.
We would like to ask a few questions
through your paper, regarding a heating
apparatus. Which is the more economical
in fuel, steam or hot water? Which
requires the more constant attention?
We have five small houses, the boiler to
be situated in a basement under one of
these. The ground level of this house is
higher than that of the other houses.
Would not overhead mains to these lower
houses be the better? What is the
general opinion regarding overhead
mains? Is it practical to use pipe as
small as 1-ineh, in small houses where
a perfect circulation is insured providing
we use a 4-inch flow and many 1-ineh to
serve as a sort of radiator, and again
conducting the return in a 4-inch to the
boiler ? Kabee.

The relative cost of steam or water
heat depends largely upon the extent and
arrangement of the houses to be heated.
Small to medium ranges of glass are
economically heated, considering cost of
fuel and labor, by water, and larger
ranges by steam. Steam has the ad-
vantage of being more subject to the in-
telligent control of the grower than
water, which is a point greatly in its
favor, but as additional labor is en-
tailed in the use of steam, the cost of
which per square foot of greenhouse de-
creases in direct proportion as the ex-
tent of the houses increases, it will read-
ily be seen that the advantage in the
use of steam is greater on larger ranges.
In the matter of fuel cost, that neces-
sary for water heating is greater than
for steam, but the cost of the extra
labor necessary for steam heating brings
the cost of both nearly to the same
point, with the advantage on the side of
steam that better control is obtained,
and the service of the fireman as night
watchman is secured without additional
cost for this great advantage.

Regarding overhead mains, for water
their necessity or advantage is dependent
entirely upon the arrangement of the sev-
eral houses of a range with relation to
each other, but for steam the overhead
main has in general marked advantage,
but here again local conditions must be
given consideration.

For water coils 1-inch pipes may be
used if the coil is short and the circu-
lation direct, but these conditions can
only be found in short houses. For
steam coils 1-inch pipe may be freely
used in houses up to 200 feet long.

LETTUCE FOR FORCING.

What are the best varieties of lettuce
for winter forcing, also at what time
should the seed be sown to insure a
Christmas crop for market? What
should be the temperature of the lettuce
house! W. S. H.

The best variety of lettuce to grow is
the kind known as Boston Market. This
is a leading lettuce, and is also known
as the Belmont, Hothouse Forcing and
other names, but they are all the same
thing to all intents and purposes. There
is a variety known as the Grand Rapids
which is extensively grown is some sec-
tions, but it does not form a solid head,
as does the Boston lettuce, and markets
accustomed to the heading variety have
no use for the Grand Rapids type.

Seed sown about the last week in Sep-
tember should produce a Christmas crop,
as it takes twelve or thirteen weeks to
mature a crop from seed. If a succes-
sion is desired all through the season,
seed should be sown every week until
February, and in order to keep the house
full, plants should be grown along in
flats ready to plant right into the bed
as soon as the first crop is cut out.

The temperature of the house should
be 40 degrees at night, though on bright
days it may with advantage be run up
to 65 or 70 degrees.

Lettuce growing presents no great dif-
ficulties to the beginner. When you water
the bed, do the job thoroughly, so that
the soil will get wet down to the bot-
tom and do not practice overhead spray-
ing. Use good, new loam and disease
will not be troublesome. Some growers
use quite a little fresh horse droppings
in the soil after the first crop is gath-
ered, claiming that it warms the soil
and starts the new crop away quicker.

color. Does not bleach the
flower in hot weather or burst
calyx in cloudy weather.

Flowers 3 to 31/< inches,
stems stiff and wiry, 18 to 24
inches. Unsurpassing keeping
qualities. Ideal sturdy habit
and of a vigorous, free, clean
growth. A prolific steady pro-
ducer, a money maker, a No. 1
commercial variety. No florist
should be without it. Has been
admired by everyone that has
seen it.

" The 25 plants you sent me last spring: were planted in the field, receiving- the
same treatment as the rest of our plants, and Louise Naumann has proved itself to be
a good grower, lifts well, is a pleasing- shade of dark pink. Its blooming quality up to
Scott and with us has been a first-class all-around carnation. A gjood keeper, and
predict for it, if introduced to the trade, a future as bright as its color."

SAN FRANCISCO.

The Market.

Business has been quiet during the
past week. A few weddings and some
funeral work is all we hare had to eonsole

Flowers are coming in somewhat more
plentiful, and carnations and roses art
in much better color and form than for
the last few weeks. Asters are here in
big supply and of splendid quality. The
whites, light pink and purple are most
in demand and bring from $1 to $2 per
hundred wholesale. Semple's Branching
is the variety almost entirely cultivated
in this section and the quality is fully
up to those of last year. Sweet peas
are still fairly plentiful, but the stems
are getting shorter all the time. Double
dahlias and gladioli still assist in mak-
ing the florists' windows attractive.
Plenty of Lilium album and roseum are
in the market and they are very decora-
tive flowers. Their seasons last about
two months. They are sold by the
growers at $1 to $2 per dozen stems,
ai riling to quality.

Notes.

Geo. C. Koeding, of Fresno, chief of
the department of horticulture for Cali-
fornia at the St. Louis exposition, has
sent out circulars to all the nurserymen
and wholesale florists inviting exhibits
to adorn our state building and grounds
at the coming fair.

John Young of the Dwight Way nur-
sery is taking a well earned vacation of
a couple of weeks.

Win. Eohler, successor to Chas. Hasel-
bacher, has just finished remodeling three
of his large rose houses. His place is
in excellent condition. He has five houses
devoted to roses, seven to carnations
and two to Maidenhair ferns and as-
paragus. GL

Ellwangkb & Bakry, Eochester, are
sending out two new hardy Rambler
roses, Leuehtstern, single, bright rose,
with distinct white eye like a cineraria,
and Rubin, resembling Crimson Rambler
but having larger flowers of a deep red
or ruby color.

TWO GRAND
—NEW

WHITE CARNATIONS

for the Spring of 1904-

Lady Bountiful.

Color — pure glistening white; size — full 3 to 3Jjj inches;
form — perfect, ideal for a high grade commercial carnation;
stem — 24 inches and over, stiff and wiry; fragrance — spicy
clove; substance— of the very best. A very strong feature is
its excellent keeping and shipping qualities. Habit — ideal,
strong, clean, healthy upright growth. Early, lree and con-
tinuous flowering and also an early and easy propagator.
The many exceptional sterling qualities of this variety made
it the most prominent of all white carnations seeking honors
at Kansas City and Chicago Chrysanthemum Shows, Nov.
1902, and the Judges placed it at the head of all new comers.

The Belle.

A companion to Lady Bountiful with equally strong
points to bring it into popular favor with the grower. We
have long been looking for a white carnation possessing
all the good qualities of Flora Hill but entirely eliminating
its weak points. We offer it to you in THE BELLE —
a strong, clean, healthy growth; a long, stiff stem; a large
flower of best form and a non-bursting calyx. It is the
earliest white carnation we have yet found among our
seedlings, phenomenally so and not lacking in freedom.
It is bound to supplant that popular variety, Flora Hill.
This is also an early and very easy propagator.

Our EXTRA LARGE, CLEAN, HEALTHY STOCK and the easy propagation will enable
us to offer GOOD, STRONG CUTTINGS, WELL ROOTED and SURE to please.

$12.00 per 100.
$95.00 per 1000 in lots of 2500.

$100.00 per 1000.
90.00 per 1000 in lots of 5000.

The aggregate number of the two varieties ordered will establish the price.

We are booking orders which will be filled in strict rotation as received. Place your orders NOW
to get in on the early delivery of these two sure to be popular varieties.

ASPARAGUS SCANDENS.

Several members of the asparagus fam-
ily have become wonderfully popular the
last few years as decorative subjects,
partly on account of their graceful habit,
but perhaps even more so through their
quality of keeping fresh and bright for
days, or even weeks, in a cut state. The
one in question i~ rather more 'leafy"
in appearance than most of the family,
and consequently would make a better
and more useful subject for use as a pot

ity in a cut state. The plant before us,
though only from a 3-inch pot. has a
verj attractive appearance, showing that
it will be salable in a young state as well
as in older examples, and we considei the
novelty to be a very promising one for
florists and all engaged in the decora-
tive side of horticulture. It received -a
reward of merit as A. Japonicus, but the
name has now been settled at Kew as

AZALEA FIELDER'S WHITE.

As an admirer of azaleas in general,
I am very glad to notice that there is £
revival of interest in their culture, says
a writer in the Gardener's Chronicle. To
my view, azaleas are by far the most
handsome group of hard-wooded green-
house plants grown. While not look-
ing forward to seeing them cultivated
in the form of giant pyramids, as was the
custom in the '60s and '70s, I still think
that if prizes were offered for groups of
more naturally growns plants, much in-
terest might be added to our late spring
exhibitions. However, I am getting
away from the heading of this note. In
these utilitarian days, I do not think
we can well afford to put on one side
the old Fielder's White. For working
up into wreaths and other forms of
memorial use, no other white azalea can
come up to it; its extended stamens
and pistil give it quite a characteristic
appearance. We find naturally grown
plants, both large and small, to
be most useful and acceptable in
c'cuv«:i decoration at Raster and
other times when required. As
will be known to many of your read-
ers, this old azalea has a good consti-
tution, hence does not suffer from the
changes of temperature, etc., to which
plants used for general decorative pur-
poses are more or less subject. When
repotting, we always use one-third of
the compost in the shape of small nod-
ules of turfy loam to two-thirds of
tough peat, with a good sprinkling of
Bedford sand.

RAISING SEEDLINGS.
The following will be found an excel-
lent method of raising seedlings. It is
very simple, as most valuable things
are. In preparing seed pans or seed
boxes see that they are dry and clean,
and the drainage efficient, over which
should be placed some fibrous loam, then
put down a layer of good sandy loam,
run through a half-inch sieve, and pat-
ted down moderately firm. Over this
place about one-fourth of an inch of dried
sphagnum or common peat moss, sucn
as is used for packing (thoroughly
dried), and run through a wire sieve
about as fine as a mosquito wire gauge,
this powdered moss, about in the condi-
tion of fine sawdust, being evenly spread.
Upon this moss is placed, about three-
fourths of an inch thick, a compost con-
sisting of three-quarters loam and one-
fourth sharp sand, well mixed together.
Make it level, and sow the seed thinly
on the compost, press down with a
smooth board, and sift on sufficient fine
moss to cover the seed, watering the
whole with a fine rose. The top layer
of moss keeps the surface always moist,
preventing all drying and baking, and
allows the young "plants to easily reach
the light. The layer of soil below it af-
fords nourishment to the seedlings,
which, as soon as tlieir roots reach the
layer of fine moss below, form a mass of
fibrous roots. No one familiar with the
raising of seedlings need have the ad-
vantages of this method pointed out to
him.— W. E. E. in the Gardening
World.

A "COMPLETE" FERTILIZER.

In a series of experiments conducted
by the Chrysanthemum Society of
France the "complete" manure uaed
contained: Fish guano, 25 per cent.;
dried blood, 16 per cent.; sulphate of
potash, 24 per cent.; double superphos-

ihorie acid. 20.52. The liquid was used
in the proportion of two grains to one
litre of water, and the other at the rate
of 900 grams to 100 kilograms of
soil. The most successful result, as
tested at the end of the experiments,
was obtained where a double dose of
the manure was employed; the next best
were the plants treated to a single dose
of complete manure; next in descending
order were plants grown without potash,
without nitrogen, and worst of tl! wei i
thus.' plants which had no phosphoric
acid. Nitrogen is most conveniently ap-
plied by means of dried blood, horn
shavings, or guano in the requisite pro-
portions; potash is best applied in the
form of sulphate; and bone phosphate
yields the necessary phosphoric acid.
Soluble manures are requisite in the case
of plants cultivated in pots from the
middle of August.

Mh. John A. Scollav. I want to sava^eed

word for your "Invincible" Boiler. It is the

easiest to ,un of any that I have ever handled,

and is a treed coal saver, We have t n unable

to pet hard eoal this winter and I was uneasy
a hi nt my ability to use soft eoal. bid must say
that the boiler works quite as satisfactorily with
soft eoal as it did ivith hard. 1 like your appa-
ratus and vour business methods so well that,
if in the future I should increase my area of
glass, you will certainly hear from me.

Yours very truly, Robert C. Bancroft.

Did you ever stop to think?

Had you ever noticed that nowhere in the wide world has the greenhouse industry-
developed so marvelously as with the growers north of Chicago? Fact, isn't it?

Had you noticed that these prosperous growers all use one style of construction, a
style you might almost call the "Chicago Style" that these growers all build with

GARLAND'S IRON GUTTER?

Does it follow that using my Gutters brings success, or that, being shrewd successful
business men, these growers want the very best ? Either way, the adoption of my
Gutters by these leaders in the trade is a reason why you should use them, too.

"F. R. Pierson Co., Tarrytown-on-Hudson, N. Y., showed a magnificent
lot of Nephrolepis Piersoni which was awarded the

of this Society at Asheville, last year. As it has already received the
highest award possible in the gift of the Society of American Florists, your
committee can make no further award at this time, but we wish to say that
another year has only further demonstrated its great value commercially
and confirmed the judgment of the committee in awarding it the first and

was given in the pages of the Review
last week, and all I can expect to do is
in mention here what was out of the
ordinary run and what I noticed on en-
tering the hall.

The boilers, ventilating apparatus,
greenhouse construction and many ap-
pliances occupied a iarge space. There
were the I [erendeen Manufactui ing Co.
with a large and greatly improved boiler,
Kroeschell Bros., of Chicago, with their
long tubular boiler, Lord & Burnham
Co. with their very solid looking sec-
tional heater. The John C. Moninger
i'o. had .1 model greenhouse, showing
their construction combined with the
Garland east iron gutter; Foley Manu-
facturing Co., model of green! se

with metal gutter and ventilating ap-
paratus. John A. Evans, of Richmond,
I ml., had a highly polished copper-bot-
tomed exhibit of his well known ventila-
tor; A. Dietsch & Co., model of their
well known greenhouse construction; the
Lord & Burnham Co.. a very finished

There were a great lot of fine plants

valuable qualities and will be heard

The hall was perhaps the besi for the
exhibition we have ever had, but the
portion screened off for the business had
the worst of acoustic qualities. Noth-
ing but a human fog horn could Vie
heard twenty feet from the stage. Pat
O'Mara's clean cut, penetrating basso
was about the only one that could cut
through the heat waves.

St. Louis had no opposition. It did
not even require the persuasive eloquence
of Fred W. Taylor to take us to the
banks of the Mississippi. This is just
as it should be. We all want to see the
World's Fair and many cannot afford
two vacations in one summer.

The election ended with the best of
feeling and I am not sure that the
rivalry ami canvass for votes among the
friends of the candidates did any harm.
Those are fine pictures you have, Mr.
Editor, of the president and the vice-
president, both handsome men in the
very prime 01 life. I mean, of course
that the " primeness " is suited for con-
ducting the affairs of our society. For

that there is a splendid business force.

Things we eat and drink since com-
ing home do not taste right. The diet
we found everywhere in Milwau
in,', and tis for the amber lubricant, it
was superb and without effect unless
you took a bath in it. I sincerely sym-
pathize with those rigid characters who
would not sample Milwaukee product
while they were in th'' city.

The shooting was a very enjoyable
afternoon, after all, and 1 trust, this
feature will not be abandoned. There
were at the convention several crack
shots from Philadelphia and they dis-
played a fine spirit of sportsmanship
when they said to themselves ' ' We could
win the best prizes, we know, but let
the boys have their fun, we have won
enough ; when we meet f oeman worthy
of our steel we will be there again. ' '

The most touching incident of the
convention was the restoration of watch
and ring to ex-President Smith. Who
but Robert Craig, with his classical head
and features and sympathetic voice and
well chosen words, could deliver such
an eloquent little speech? We have only
one, and long may he be with us.

The Chicago men simply did nobly.
That dainty banquet in the grand ban-
quet hall of the Auditorium was never
equaled in the history of our society.
It was dainty, elegant and most won-
derfully served, and broke up all too
soon.

After all the shouting and yelling on
the alleys and almost fighting rivalry,
it ended with the best of good feeling.
The "Phillies" must have surprised
even themselves, and as President
Burton told John Westcott, there was

good playing accompanied by d

good luck. Well, if ever a club deserved
it. Philadelphia does, for it is enthu-
siastic and keeps the game alive. Phil

bowling and other physical exertions
they are, of course, long past. Mr.
Beneke will work like a trojan to pre-
pare for 1904, and as to Mr. Breitmeyer,
it is not taffy to say, for all know it,
that there is not a man, and please,
Mrs. Breitmeyer, believe me, not a wom-
an who knows Phil but that respects
and loves him, and behind his most un-
good nature he has proved

Hauswirth's hard and able work as
manager of sports was handsomely ac-
knowledged by the winning team, and
when you see John Westcott 's and Billy
Easting's noses deep in the loving cup
at the same time it looks well foi an
other hot game next year. Poor Chi-
cago! They played well and defeat came
bitter to them, for the odds were fifty to
that Chicago had the cup. The

championship medal was won on form
for Mr. Foerster is the best bowler of
all the florists in the land. What a
joke, however, if Mr. Wilcox had cap-
tured the medal. He is a dangerous
outsider, always to be feared in any
company.

Many little incidents occurred during
this memorable convention that I made
mental memoranda of, but they have
\anished. As it is, my story is amply
long enough, quality considered, and in
conclusion 1 thank all who did attend
and help to make our gathering in the
line iily of Milwaukee as enjoyable an
event as is recorded in our memory of
our good society. William Scott.

CONVENTION NOTES.
E. F. Winterson prize for the man
; the highest in three games in the
li -ontest, was one of the hand-
as well as the most unique ever
for such an event. It was a silver
g ball, large size, properly in-
d mounted on a polished base.
It was one of the trophies captured by
Joseph Foerster, of Chicago, who also
took the Mussey medal in the champion-
ship contest.

(In Thursday evening Mr. and Mrs.
Phil llauswirth, of Chicago, were pre-
sented with a siher tea set as an evi-
dence of appreciation for Mr. Haus-
wirth's labors in behalf of the pastimes
which are such an enjoyable feature of
the conventions. The presentation

Through an unfortunate oversight the
judges of trade exhibits overlooked the
display of the J. ( '. Moninger Co., Chi-
cago, in preparing their report. It was
an excellent showing and while there Mr.
Rupp took orders for two houses. 30x300
from Davis Bros., Morrison, 111., five
houses for Fred Ponting, Cleveland, and
two houses for H. Kunz. Glenville, O.

Strange, isn 't it, that the Ionia Pot-
tery should be the only pot manufacturer
to take advantage of the opportunity to
make a display. Of course several of
the others had representatives on the
ground.

There was nothing but praise for the
showings of all the florists' supply
houses. Such an exposition of choice
goods was never before seen in this
country. Each and every exhibitor has
every reason to be pleased with what he
did. for each had a bright and well ar-
ranged showing of goods, which would
stand closest inspection. Many new
things attracted favorable attention and
the general lines showed what a truly
wonderful advance has been made in this
industry in the past few years. One of
the most serviceable novelties was the
willow screen shown by M. Rice & Co.
This firm has every reason to be satisfied
with the results of its convention display,
much labor and expense as it entailed.

Following the usual custom, at the clos-
ing session, William Currie, of Mil-
waukee, on behalf of the members pre-
sented President Burton with a gold
watch as an evidence of the affectionate
regard in which he is held.

The fatigues of the week were too
much for several members. G. M. Nau-
mann was obliged to call a physician.

Coming down from Milwaukee to Chi-
eago on the Virginia on Friday, the
Milwaukee Florists' Club had nearly 800
-nests. It was a , jolly party and a de-
lightful ride. Lunch baskets were pro-
\ Mod for all and there was a diversity of
entertainment. It was one of the most
pleasurable features of the convention.

' ' We are only eighty-five "miles from
the wickedest city on God's earth," said
the mayor, "but with us life and prop-
erty are always secure." And that
same evening a Milwaukee hotel thief
robbed one of our most respected ex-
presidents of one of his dearest posses-
sions.

The pot washer exhibited by C. E.
i'inley attracted the attention of the
growers. The machine is simple and af-
fective and seemed to meet with general

approval.

One of the good novelties was a ceme-
tery vase shown by W. F. Easting. It is
made of heavy tin, covered with white
enamel, with a strong wire to go into the
ground. It is a cheap and serviceable
article, yet makes an excellent appear-
ance and will enjoy a huge sale.

Nothing but words of praise are heard
as to the way Milwaukee handled the
convention. Messrs. Pollworth and Hel-
ton make a strong team.

F. E. Dorner, Jr., was elected a direc-
tor of the Florists' Hail Association,
succeeding William F. Dreer.

And they didn 't take us to the brew-
eries.

CONVENTION GUNNERS.

The success of the annual bowling
tournament of the Society of Ameri-
can Florists Wednesday was rivaled on
Thursday by the shooting tournament
held on the South Side Gun Club grounds,
under the able management of F. S.
Schmeling. Two events were held and
both were won by Ohio men.

In the first event, forty birds, H.
M. Altick, of Dayton, was the winner
with 31 birds, while E. Hippard was a
.lose second with 30. James Eadie, of
( leveland, was third with 28. The sec-
ond event was twenty blue rocks, ten
pairs. James Eadie, of Cleveland, was
the winner with 16, while Reid. of Phila-
delphia, was a close second with 15. The
scores Were as f ollows :

DAHLIAS IN CANADA.
G. Herbert Haszard, at Charlottetown,
Prince Edward Island, is growing a col-
lection of over fifty varieties of cactus
dahlias, which are now at their best.
The new yellow, Canary Queen, is a
variety of exceptional beauty, fine long
stems, the flower borne well above the
foliage. Alpha is a striking novelty, a
good white striped and spotted crimson.
Lord Roberts, Mr. Haszard says, is cei
tainly the best white to date. Lucius is
a fine orange scarlet with very long stems.

Mayor Tuppeny is another g 1 sort.

center petals yellow, outer petals orange,
with crimson edge. The habit of growth
is good. Clara J. Stredwick is a bright
salmon shading to yellow, a splendid
bloom with very narrow petals. The
plant grows only about two and one-half
feel tall and is full of perfect Bowers.
Countess of Lonsdale is a rich salmon and
very dwarf. Britannia is salmon pink.
The new dark-colored ones. Night, Uncle
Tom, Aunt Chloe and J. II. Jackson, are
l.eing watched with interest.

DAHLIA NOTES.

The present year has been the most
favorable for dahlias experienced for
years. From all over the country the
most favorable reports have been re-
ceived. The flowers are not only fine,
but the plants have made good growth
and they have been blooming profusely.
If the cool, wei weather continues, the
dahlias will continue to bloom the bal-
ance of the season. It is well, however,
to here sound the note of warning.

The soil should be kept stirred to the
depth of an inch or two and no grass
or weeds allowed to grow. This stirring
of the soil is not only to keep down the
grass and weeds but to keep the soil
from baking. With the large growths
that dahlias have made it would only
take a short drought to give them n
severe set-back.

While all dahlias have been doing
well. Twentieth Century and the newer
cactus dahlias seem to" have given the
greatest success. Many correspondents
express their surprise thai the nev eat
tus dahlias should bloom so early and
so profusely. As a rule, the cactus
are stronger growers than the show
and fancy sorts, but few were prepared
for the immense amount of bloom they
have given this year. The trouble with
the old Juarezi and the varieties im-

the Chicago chrysanthemum show. Our
violets were fine: they were blooming
freely and selling at a good price. Like
many othei florists similarly situated,
we were building air castles as to what
wc would do with the profits of our
promising crop and planning to put
more houses to violets the next season.
The weather during show week was
warm, the thermometer standing from
55 to 65 degrees at night. The wind

What a sigh! I beheld! Eight hands

niliccnt plants that but a few days pre-
vious we were banking on so confident-
ly. They were so checked that it was
not until toward spring that they fully
recovered. Had the ventilators" been
closed the crop would have been saved.
I have mentioned our principal failures,
thinking it might possibly be of value in
preventing others from falling into the
same costly errors.

both require 45 to 50 degrees of night
temperature and a day temperaturi LO
degrees higher. The dark arii tii - re-

er varieties require a steadier tempera-
ture than the dark. Should the latter

would be injured, but in the case of the
former the flowers would be checked.

Pests and Diseases.

Black spot is frequently caused by
overwatering. Wet feet, we call it. Also
in mild weather when the ventilators are
open and a warm rain sets in, before you
are aware of what is going on the wind
swishes the rain over the foliage in tin-
form of mist, which is very distasteful
to the sweet, capricious beauty. Again,

a ch.se, ill-ventilated I se should be

avoided, as it is sine t,, breed spot.

Frequent syringing on bright morn-
ings will serve t.. keep red spider down.
If you have been taking care of your
plants you will have very little trouble
with spider. Eel worms are a rarity in
this vicinity. As soon as a plant stops
growing and ceases to have that bright
gloss characteristic of a healthy plant,
pull it out and replant from stock that
should always be kept on hand in 3 or 4-

RUST ON CHRYSANTHEMUMS.

Will you kindly tell me through the
REVIEW a remedy for chrysanthemum
rust, as 1 think it is; brown, rusty spots
on the under side of the leaves. Can

these affected plants be used as stock

plants for another season.' < '. A. M.

Without a doubt the brown rusty
spots mentioned as being on the under
side of tin- foliage is the rust. These
brown spots, when ripe, burst open and a
brown powder is scattered round and
every grain of this brown powder is a
disease germ, carrying and reproducing
the ili.ee- everywhere where conditions
an- fin. liable for its development. We
have found that sulphide of potassium
dissolved in water in the proportion of
on- ounce of the potassium to two gal-
lons of water and sprayed on the under
side of the foliage will hold the disease
in check and prevent it from spreading
to adjoining plants. Be sure to get the
sulphide and not sulphate of potassium,
as the two tire, I understand, quite dif-
ferent arti.l.-.

The plants may be used for stock next
year and if they are sprayed with the
solution mentioned, a time or two in the
early spring, the rust will not appear
again the following year. We have not
had rust two years on the same variety

put a price on it that enables you to
make a sutlicient profit to .justify the

carried out that enables you to do this
is called cost accounting. Records are
kept of all the items that enter Into
the cost of production, so that the exact
cost of the finished product is known.
These systems vary with different lines
of business; the same principle, however,
underlies them all. They have been
brought to their fullest development in
manufacturing enterprises, where records
are kept of every item that enters into
the cost of production.

The florists' business, that is the grow-
ing end of it. has always impressed me
as being a strictly manufacturing enter-
prise. You have, in the first place, your
Plant or greenhouses; you have the tools
for doing the necessary work; you have
your raw material to work with; you em-
Ploy labor, and lastly you turn out the
finished product, either plants or cut
flowers. Now. what opinion would vou

Seasonable Hints.
During the next month, when, in all
probability, we will have to use more
or less filing at night, it will be well to
keep a -h:n p ey the benches, partic-
ularly where the pipes are directly under
them, as the transition from natural to
artificial heat affects the plants in many
ways. Under natural heat the soil dries
out from the surface downward and
continues to dip until it reaches the
boards or tile. In artificial heating,
where the pipes are under the benches,
these conditions are in a great measure
reversed, and great care will have to be
taken not to let the soil on the boards
get so dry as to injure the roots.

Appearances are very deceptive, espe-
cially where a mulch lias been used, and
nothing but a strict examination of the
soil can be safe. There will also 1 fli-
er portions of the benches which, under
the altered conditions, will demand clos-
er attention. In Meteor houses, where
a higher temperature has to be main-
taine.l, great care is required to keep
the bi in lies all equally moist, for if the
roots are allowed to become over dry
during this change a crop of yellow
foliage »ill be the result, from which
it takes them a long time to recover.
Varieties which are as erratic as Lib-

and most suitable kinds for the less ex-
perienced grower.

Ventilation will require particular care
during this period. The ventilators
should never be closed tight unless to
keep out rain, as this causes sweating,
which soon softens the foliage.

A careful study of each particular
. ase and the attending conditions with
a little reflection will usually keep us
mi the safe side and carrj us safely over
this critical period. Eibes.

made up at Tonawanda. near Buffalo,
and two men with one of those ma-
chines will do us much as a dozen men
with screens and do it better, because
it breaks up till the lumps. Grinding
the manure permits spreading it on the
beds in a thin layer, a half inch in
depth, which is all you want at this
time, besides putting it into better con-
dition for the roots to get at it. Stir
the surfaci of the soil just before putting

the mulch has been pot oil.

All that will be necessary for the pres-

the base of the flower-stem cannot fall

ket and most of them have merits of their
own. The main thing to consider be-
sidi 3 the holding up of the plant is that
the support should not crowd the plant.

Be sure that it has not been ruined with
disinfectants before it was brought to
you. It should lie about half rotten, in
such a state that it can be ei umbled up
when it is put on the benches. I do not
approve of using manure that you will
have to plaster over the bench like you
would put cement on a walk. That
kind will lie too close, keeping the air
away from the soil and causing the whole
to sour.

To get the manure into proper condi-
tion for mulching it should be handled

from three to five ti s at intervals of

about a week. Many growers rub it
through a 1-inch mesh screen before put-
ting it on the benches and this is a
very good practice, but it is a trifle

of wires stretched lengthwise of the
bench between the rows and strings run
straight across between each row of
plants, and be sure you stretch the wires
tight.

I was glad to see in the Eeview that
the A. ('. S. is going to consider the
advisability of examining carnation
seedlings several times in a season be-
fore awarding certificates of merit. This
would be a decided step forward, I think,
and every grower of carnations will be
benefited by it, whether he be a seed-
ling grower or a cut bloom grower.

The A. C. S. has done great work in
raising the standard in quality of the
varieties introduced to the trade and
through its influence the chances of a
variety producing blooms of inferior
quality bring sold in any considerable
quantity have been reduced to a mini-
mum, but we are asking tin- society to
do still more fur us, and we have a right
to do so. A tVw years ago our demands
of the seedling raisers were mostly for
larger blooms, better colors, and better
stems and in fact a general improve-
ment in the quality of the products of
the plants.

In producing this quality in miry in-
stances there was necessarily some sacri-
fice of quantity, and now we are de-
manding the latter in addition to our
former demands. We have as large and
fine blooms as any one could wish for,
but unfortunately most of these varie-
ties are shy or late bloomers. We have
enough of thai kind now and while we
will welcome any improvement in quality,
we are more anxious to have varieties that
will produce large quantities of good

Result of Indoor Culture.

Before giving results obtained by this
method it may not be amiss to say that,
as described in notes of .May 7. n is a
compromise between field culture and
culture entirely under idass.

Our plants were nil from flats late
in April and potted into 3-inch; as soon
as the roots had begun to encircle the
ball, a shift was made to l in, h. The

first week in .lime they were placed put
to pot in frames; no further shift was
necessary, the only attention given being
to top, water as required, and stand over
once, spacing to allow for growth made.
By July 15 we had them all planted ami
growing nicely, no losses having occurred
outside or since housing.

Law-son was the variety most largely
grown on account of its known habit of

giving shell slems early ill the season.

Other varieties were also tried, among
them being Estelle and Enchantress, but

THE FOLIAGE PLANTS.

Rejuvenating the Stock.

From -July to about the end of Octo-
lin is the season of most rapid growth
in this class of plants, the warm nights
keeping them in a state oi continuous

remnants of plants that have been u-

VARIEGATED FERNS.

these, from a decorative point of view, is
P. en-iira albo-lineata, which grows well
in a eool house, and stands the atmos-
phere of a dwelling room a- well as most
ferns. A crested form of the foregoing
is P. Mayi, a very beautiful compact
plant, and most useful in small pots. P.
argyrea, generally known as the silvery
pteris, is a very vigorous plant, and use-
ful in all sizes from small thumb pots to
large specimens. It should receive a heavy
compost, and succeeds best under stove
treatment, when the silvery markings are
more pronounced, it. is a variety .t I'

fronds soon turn brown if too much ex

the foliage. A very pretty pteris is P.
nemoralis variegala. which succeeds well
under the same conditions as described
for tin- foregoing.

Quite distinct to the other pteris is P.
Victoria?, with erect, narrow fertile
fronds; while the barren ones are only a
few inches in length, the fertile ones, in
which the silvery markings are more con-
spicuous, rise a foot or more high. It is

The variegation is very di-tin.-t and pret-
ty, but the foliage is of ,i -oniewhat -oft
texture and does not stand the atmos-
phere of rooms for any length of time.

There are a few variegated ferns re-
quiring cool house treatment, all of which
hail from Japan, and are of very easy
culture. The most beautiful is undoubt-
edly the deciduous Athyrium goringia

The China aster, which has come into
prominence in comparatively recent
years, i- closely related to I he chrj san-
themum, and. as its name implies, is a
native of China. It was originally sin-
gle flowered and of limited range of
color — blue, violet and white — but un-
der cultivation it has been made to as-
sume a gi eat \ ai ietj of foi ms and col-
ors, rivaling the chrysanthemum in
these respects, although the aster has
nol been developed to the size of the
larger varieties of chrysanthemums and
has not yet been made to show the bril-
liant shades of yellow which are so
prominent in certain of the varieties of
the latter flower.

In a bulletin of the Xew York Cornell
Station, L. H. Bailey states that —

The China aster is an -annual and
especially effective in borders. It grows
well in almost any soil, but prefers a
rich, moderately moist, but well drained

The Convention Visitors.
Chicago took the convention visitors in

b I on Friday afternoon. Open house

was kepu at 56 Wabash avenue, with
music and refreshments, until six o'clock,
when supper was served at the Audi-
torium, to about 485, followed by an
evening at the concert at the Coliseum.
The hotel banquet hall and the tables
were very tastefully decorated by Phil
Hauswirth and he is entitled to much
credit for his work throughout the
week. < >n Saturday the \isitors scat-
tered in parties to visit the various green-
houses. Bassett & Washburn report 247
visitors at their place that day. Where-

ever a stranger went he found eatables
and drinkables spread for his refresh-
ment and it was not the least of thi pica
sant features that the consensus of
opinion was that never have the estab
lishnieuts in this vicinity made a Letter
showing. One of the laughable ' \
periences was that of William Currie,
W. R. Smith. E. A. Fetters and Mrs.
Fetter- with i). p. Bassett 's automobile.

PHILADELPHIA.

The Market.
The cut flower market show- change
from last report. Roses are very plenti-
ful and many of them of rather poor
quality, due probably to the cloudy and
warm weather. The good roses are in
fair demand. Beauties are mot-,- plenti
1'ul and lower in price. Kaiserins appear
to be going off crop; they are scarcer
and not so good. Maids are improving
and some pretty fair stuff is seen. As-
ters arc awfully plentiful in common
sorts, white especially. Semple's are dis
placing the others in the orders for choice
stock, and of these and the best Queen
of the Market more could be used. It
is easy to get a fair price for good as-
ters, but poor ones are bad stock. The
Review quotations on asters wen- too
high last week, for which the writer is
to blame. Note present quotations. Val-

ley is impnn ing . - ■ I I ' fini

ful. I do not believe that prevailing
market prices today can possibly pay any-
body not guilty of child labor. Of
dahlias there will be more to say later,
i :n nations are now at h,w water mark:
just a few fine ones can be had. There

A Merchant Prince.
Everybody knows that the term "rob-
ber baron. ' ' as applied to our bus SS,

means a rich grower who waits until
some poor retailer or commission man
is short on an order and then swoops
down upon him. refusing to give up the
desired flowers until he has -, -cured overv
penny tin- poor fellow has except cat
fan- home. Fortunately there are no real
'•robber barons" around the City of

Brotherly Dove grc - i - are not so

cruel — but we have, and we are proud

of it. a genuini ' ' i bant pun,-,-.

By this term is meant one who-.- mer-
chandise may be found in great quanti-
ties on very many steamer- crossing the
ocean today, who has dealings in a large
majority of the cities and towns through-
out this country, and whoso transactions
aggregate so large a sum as to sei m
fabulous to any of us. Yet hard work,
enterprise and sound judgment have
brought all these things to - tod; Is

an example I would give the housi I il.

tesy ,,f Mr. Bayersdorfer I was i nabled

Out Of such a collection of beautiful

plant business are growing more and
more importunate year after year.This is
evidenced by two beautiful crepe papers

ST. LOUIS.

The Market.

On our return home from the conven-
tion we found the cut flower trade still
dragging along the same as when we
left it. We also found first-class stock
still scarce, the best quality finding
ready sale. There is plenty of pocr
stock, which nobody seems to want, even
at the low rates. Good Kaiserin and
Meteor sell well, while Bride and Maid
are still small and sell at a low price.
Of carnations, both under glass and out-
doors, Mrs. Fisher is the best. Some
good Flora Hill are also in the market.
The colored varieties show the effect of
the hot spell. Field-grown stock is be-
coming more abundant. Quite a few
auratum lilies are now in at $1 per doz-
en. Hydrangeas do not sell so well.
Tuberose stalks are in good demand,
with plenty of them in the market. As-
ters that are home-grown are not extra.
The best are being shipped in and the
demand is good when of extra quality.
The growers claim that the outlook for
a better quality of stock in a very short
time is good.

The young rose stock is in a very
promising condition, more so than at any
previous time. The same may be said
of carnations. All are looking fine, es-
pecially the newer varieties. All plants
are now making a fine growth, and par-
ticularly those that are planted on low
ground where there is plenty of moisture.
Out in Kirkwood, where most of the vio-
lets are grown for this market, the plants

are unusually tine. They all claim that
the St. Louis market will be better fixed
for stock the coming season than ever
before, and this will be welcome news
fur the retailers here.

Various Notes.
The St. Louis delegation returned

home Sunday from the Milwaukee conven-
tion. The members expressed themselves
as never having had a better time, and
too much praise cannot be given the Mil-
waukee boys for their entertainment.
They did everything and more than they
promised, and it is up to St. Louis next
year to return the compliment. We are
also under many obligations to the Chi-
cago craft for their entertainment of
Friday and Saturday. The Milwaukee
convention will always remain a bright
spot in our memories.

The bowling contest was about the best
arranged affair yet held at any conven-
tion and much credit is due to our friend,
Phil Hauswirth, of Chicago, for the way
he handled the contest. Philadelphia,
having the best team, won and we offer
our congratulations. We missed the gen-
ial captain, George Moss, but a team
that can win without its captain deserves
much praise. We felt sorry for our
friends from Chicago, but it was their
own fault and they will know better
next year. We will be on our own dung
hill and will also do better.

George McClure, of Buffalo, is in
town, spending a week with his son, who
is at Shaw's Garden, in charge of the
orchid houses. Mr. McClure is an en-
thusiast on bowling and was, of course,
sorry Buffalo did not win out at Mil-
waukee. He also expressed himself as
having a good time at the convention,
and that the Milwaukee boys did them-
selfs proud in every respect.

I will close my letter for this week
by saying that we are all glad to be
"back among the old folks once again"
from the best convention the Society of
American Florists has ever held.

J. J. B.

CINCINNATI.

The Market

There is a slight demand for white
flowers, but otherwise very little busi-
ness is doing. Yet even at that the sales
foot up higher than last year. Hot
weather is using up the outdoor stock in
a hurry. Roses, with the exception of
American Beauty and Liberty, are a
glut. Short-stemmed stock of Bride,
Bridesmaid, date Kaiserin, Ivor} . etc .
can scarcely be sold at any price. There
is a fair demand for the better grades.
Beauties are increasing in quantity and
ire very good.

Carnations are still scarce, but there
are signs of an increase in supply very
soon. Several growers are beginning to
i ut from new stock, and the flowers are
good, with fairly long stem's. During the
past week E. G. Gillett received the first
consignment of carnations from the B.
K. & B. Floral Co., of Richmond, [nil.
Phese ncre the first carnations that this
linn have cut and they were very good.
The variety was Dorothy.

Some very fine asters are now to be
had and there are plenty of buyers for
them at good figures. The supply of
second grade ones is not so large and
they firing more money. Gladioli are
still very good, but the market is get-

ting tired of them. Some very good
dahlias are coming in, but this flower
never takes well in this market. The
store men will not buy them.

Various Notes.

The Cincinnati party has returned
from the convention and all are singing
the praises of the Milwaukee Florists'
Club. Judging from what they say, the
convention was the best ever, and a mark
was reached in attendance and entertain-
ment which will be hard to beat. But
if such a thing is possible, J. J. Beneke,
president of the St. Louis Florists' Club,
will dn the trick. The Chicago boys de-
serve lots of credit for the manner in
which they entertained the visitors.

A visit to the Lockland Lumber Com-
pany plant, at Lockland, O., during the
past week proved to be very interesting.
This firm is in the midst of the largest
business they have ever had in green-
house material. There was almost ready
for shipment a large quantity of material
for six houses, 32x150 for S. Alfred
Baur. of Erie, Pa. This material had
been treated to a preserving process, dis-
covered by the superintendent of this
plant, who is a graduate of the Univer-
sity of Berne, Switzerland, and a man
of many years of practical experience.
This method of preservation is the out-
come of years of study and experiments
and is decidedly a new departure in the
preparation of greenhouse lumber.

The success of the flower shows dur-
ing the fall festival seems assured, judg-
ing by the number of entries already
booked. There will be a committee from
the Florists' Society to see that every one
is treated well, and if you cannot come
with your exhibit your stock will be care-
fully looked after.

Chas. E. Critchell and Miss Bess
Critchell had a narrow escape from death
while returning home from their vaca-
tion. They were in a very bad wreck,
Mi" Critchell being badly used up.
Charlie was more fortunate, a few severe
bruises, but he was still able to attend
the convention at Milwaukee.

K. A. Betz and family are spending
a two weeks' vacation at Wawasee, Ind.

'iias. E. Critchell is in town.

WANAMAKER WISDOM.
"Some one has said if there are ten
bakers in town, the one who gives the
best loaf for six-pence is sure at last to
sell the most bread. That's the bottom
of all trade. The one who furnishes the
best of anything gets the most trade in
that line." — John Wanamaker.

Loomis, Cal. — A. Mitting says that
the way he grows carnation plants in
the field is to plant as shallow as pos-
sible and earth up a little. He has the
rows two' feet apart and runs water be-

out check all summer. By having this
ridge along the rows it keeps the plants
from stem-rot. He cultivates between
the rows and the plants grow so fast
it is a back-breaking job to keep them

SAN FRANCISCO.

The Market.

We have the G. A. E. encampment
with us at present and the city pre-
sents a gala appearance. Miles of ever-
green garland have been used to decorate
tin' principal streets and the use of deco-
rative palms and hardy outside flowers
has been very lavish in the show-win-
dows around town. Gladioli, dahlias,
coreopsis, asters and amaryllises, to-
gether with large quantities of huckle-
berry, brake ferns and oak branches
have been used and made a demand for
this class of stock that will last for
some days to come. Outside of decorat-
ing there is very little doing* Flowers
are very cheap and plentiful. Asters
are at "the height of their season at
present and are of good quality through-
out and very cheap. Roses hold their
own in price and are of better form and
color. Carnations are plentiful enough
for all demands. Tuberoses and amaryl-
lises are seen everywhere and can be
had for any price.

Various Notes.

Many of the carnation growers are
getting ready to plant their greenhouses
at this time and most of them are plant-
ing the usual list of varieties, Flora Hill
for white, Estelle for scarlet, Lawson,
Crocker, Schwerin, Mrs. Joost, Scott and
Triumph for pink, and Pingree and El-
dorado for yellow. Some Prosperity,
Cressbrook, Mrs. Bradt, Genevieve Lord,
America and Jubilee will be planted but
they are not as largely grown in this
section as the varieties first mentioned.

The fact that the California State
Horticultural Society is forging ahead
rapidly was shown by the fact that forty
applications for membership were pre-
sented at the last meeting. Some very
fine specimens of dahlias were exhibited
and a verv enthusiastic meeting was
held.

James Bell, of Dwight Way, Berkeley,
has leased his grounds to a company of
Japanese gardeners.

John Vallance, of the Cox Seed Com-
pany, read a very interesting paper on
' ' Seeds, Their Germination and Pecu-
liarities, ' ' at the last meeting of the
Oakland branch of the California State
Horticultural Society. Mr. Vallance has

ad many years ' experience in this line
f work and his remarks were highly
istructive to the large audience pres-
ut. G.

BALTIMORE.

The Market.

There is surcease of the heavy rains,
there is more sunshine and the thermome-
ter marks a higher temperature. The
thermometer of business, however, went
down last week almost to the zero mark.
Barring a few funeral orders, general
apathy prevailed. The stock of cut flow-
ers is abundant for all calls. Growers
arc busy with repair work, and if any-
one of the craft ventured on a trip to
the Cream City convention, he kept it
hid from scribes as well as pharisees.
Doubtless it is all the worse for the craft.
There is little news to dispense.

Various Items-
Thomas Vincent, who has a store on
West Baltimore street, has rented another
on North Charles, corner of North ave-
nue, a very promising locality. J. Adam
Hitter, whose plaec is in thai immediate
vicinity and who does a handsome busi-
ness, is spending the summer in Atlantic
City.

Alexander Scott, formerly of the Ex-
change here, is engaged in improving and
developing his property on the Hauford
road, a suburb which is increasing rapidly
in value and population.

Mr. Johnson, for several years office
man and bookkeeper with S. Feast &
Sons, has severed his connection with that
concern, finding the conditions unfavor-
able to his health.

Alexander MeCormick, Jr., a florist of
Fullerton, has received the Republican
nomination for commissioner of Balti-
more county, which is the largest, most
populous and wealthy county of our state,
this office corresponding to the mayoralty
of cities. The same gentleman is presi-
dent of the Timorium Fair Association,
which draws great crowds of visitors
and presents many attractions in the
way of stock, farm and garden products,
as well as horse racing, etc. There are
sections with moderate prizes for plants
in pots and tubs, cut flowers and floral de-
signs and., vases. The fair is held from
September 1 to 5.

Another fair in the county is that of
the Prospect Park Association, from Sep-
tember 8 to 12, where premiums are of-
fered for groups of palms, collections
of cut flowers, bouquets and funeral de-
signs.

James Glass, of Erdman avenue, makes
a specialty of ferns and in his house
may be seen an almost countless collec-
tion of many sorts and sizes, the cultiva-
tion of which he follows with great in-
telligence and consequent success.

Messrs. Madsen and Anderson, formerly
partners, and now near neighbors, of
Govanstown, who are recognized as the
champion growers here of American
Beauties, have their respective places in
apple-pie order. The untoward season
denied them as favorable a start as
usual, but they may be expected to turn
out products of the usual high standard
when cutting time comes. Mr. Ander-
son is repiping his houses and has con-
verted his steam boiler into a hot water
one and will heat by that agency here-
after. B.

TORONTO.

Trade during the last week has been
decidedly slow and it is the remark of
many of our retail men that it is the
slowest of the season. With the decrease
of trade, as is often the case, we notice
the increase of supply. Good roses are
coining in abundance. This does not
speak any too well for the chances of
plenty of stock for October, when it is
usually wanted. Asters are in great
quantity and stock keeping very good.

Mr. and Mrs. J. S. Simmons are tak-
ing a tour of the resorts on the Atlantic
coast. They are expected home about the
first of next week.

We are all looking forward to a big
time at the C. H. A. convention to be held
here September 2 and 3. D. J.

Prospects for corn have improved con-
siderably in the past ten days.

Mitciielhill & Co., St. Joseph, Mo..
are building an addition, 40x65 to their
seed warehouse.

John M. Clark, of the Leonai
Co., is in Northern Michigan, crop in-
specting and doing a little fishing mi tin-
side.

Reports as to the condition of clover
seed crops are very good, not only in
Germany and Austria but also in France
ami Russia. Stocks of red clover are,
however, very low on the continent.

Philadelphia. S. B. Dicks, represent
Lng ' '""|" i . Tabor £ I .... and James
Comont, representing James Carter, Dun-

callers recently. Recent advices from the
seed growing districts of France are
more hopeful. A demand for seeds for
the season of 1904 is already quite
marked and is setting in earlier than
usual by at least two months.

Funk Bros. Seed Co., Bloomington,

111., has taken up the matter of breeding
corn for the purpose of not only produc-
ing perfect ears and grain but adding to
the protein, starch or oil content. As
corn groweis in the ^Mississippi valley
are, many of them, growing their crops
for particular purposes, they see a direct
commercial return in proportion to the
success of their experiments. Prof.
Bailey used several photographs, taken in
the course of their experiments, to il-
e an article on plant breeding in
Country Life for June.

MILWAUKEE.

After the Convention.

The Milwaukee convention now goes
into history. It will not be necessary to
tell those who were present that it was
a grand success in every way, but there
should have been a much larger attend-
ance to see the great trade display. The
Society of American Florists does more
than any other trade organization for
its members, and the problem of increas-
ing its membership should be solved. It
seems to take a little more than cold
facts printed in our proceedings to ap-
peal i" the craft to join this valuable
society. The time to act is now. Do
not wait until train time next year and
then find out who is going. Perhaps the
fact is that we feel bo proud of being a
member of the society, and thiuk that
ling our neighbors one better by
being a member, that we do not praise
it half enough on our return home from
tin' conventions. Tell your neighbors
that you have met the shining lights in
■ mi profession. Tell them the knowl'
edge you have gained has 1 n of incal-
culable value. Tell them they can
not conduct their business so as to keep
abreast of these progressive times with-
out i" ing a member. V.\ ery member
should resolve now to appoint himself a

committ f one to solicit memberships

and should have influence enough to
bring in at least one new member, which
would moan the donhlinn of our member-
ship for next year, ami we feel sure we
ought to escort our president-elect, Philip
Breitmeyer, into St. Louis several thou-
sand strong.

The programme mapped out was fol-
lowed successfully without a hitch or the
loss ■ ' moment's time. The opening
address • President Burton was well
and the mayor's welcome start-
ed the ball a rolling. Adam Graham
responded for the society and the con-
as on in full blast. The presi-
dent 's reception was held in an ideal
place and proved a great success. The
bowlers had a grand time, which is say-
ing enough. In addition to the outing
tendered the ladies, they had a knack of
entertaining themselves, which left no
idle moments. The outing on the lake

Utica Florists' Club Outing.

The TJtiea Florists' Club held its out-
ing at Buchanan's Grove Wednesday
afternoon, Aug. 12. The weather was
chilly, which made it unpleasant for
those who were not taking part in the
races.

There were over fifty in the party
which gathered to partake of the fine
spread at about 4 o'clock. Not a man
present would have owned that lie had
not eaten anything in a week, but they

ing feature was the fat man's race.

Besides the members of the Utica
Florists' Club there were present Hakes
and Schesch of Ilion, Graham of Little
Falls, Traudt of Canajoharie, Limrner
of Schenectady and Bryan of Rome, and,
as guests of the club, Quinlan, Bard,

Dutton, Dow, Huller, Ham, Sr., and

they had a baseball game, and, of course,
Utica won. It beat Syracuse 11 to 5.

and Mrs. Lemke remained over to attend

The growers are quite generally
through planting. N. C. Hansen has

but many of them have not bloomed,
owing t,i the cool, wet summer. Holm

Chris. Hansen has a fine lot of carna-
tions benched. Guardian Angel is the
leading variety and considered the most
profitable sort grown here. A bench of
1,000 Enchantress is in fine shape, being
very strong and stocky. A small batch
nf I'irrsoni ferns shows the possibilities
of that grand variety. In roses he has
planted Liberty very largely, as that
variety has always done well at this
place."

The Warrendale greenhouses are in
first-class condition, and well filled with
first-class stuck. Daybreak carnation is
cultivated here quite extensively and is
still considered one of the best and most
profitable. All of the roses at this place
are grown on their own roots and are
certainly in very fine condition. A bench
of Wootton brought back pleasant
memories of that one-time popular
variety.

"Thripscide"

GreenhouseTumlgating Powder

Is the newest and best article on the market
to-day for the complete destruction of all
insects that infest lirrinh. .uses or Conserva-
tories, being a special boon to Rose and
Beauty growers and prepared particularly for
the destruction of Greenfly and Thrips.
There is nothing injurious in it to plant life,
even the most delicate fern. It is especially
recommended for Beauties. Roses, Carna-
tions, Chrysanthemums, Lilies, Smilax,
Asparagus, Palms, Ferns, etc.. and we claim
that insects will be entirely eradicated when
the houses are thoroughly fumigated with
the powder. It is put up as follows:

Chas. T. Siebert:— I must say the Zinc
Points have given great satisfaction. I have
over 100 lbs. on my houses, and feel Justified
in stating that they are the best point on the
market. Yours respectfully.

W. K. PARTRIDGE. Florist.

Chas. T. Siebert:— I take pleasure in express
ing satisfaction in using your Zinc Glazing

therefore are better and cheaper. Their merit

THEO. F. BECKERT, Florist.

Charles T. Siebert:— I can truthfully say your
Zinc Points are the best I ever used. They are
easily driven and withdrawn and are stiff. Being
straight on one side they can be driven accurate-
ly; consequently the breakage of glass is very
small. I have some in use four years and they
are still in their place as good as new.

W. S. ROEBECK.

Chas. T. Siebert:— You no doubt know by the
229 lbs. of Zinc Points we have ordered from
vou that we consider them the best on the mar-
ket. We have four new houses under way, each
2.V, feet in length, and will soon have to place
our order with you for quite a lot of more

MISCELLANEOUS
SEASONABLE HINTS.

Fall Propagating.

An old reminder of this date is that in
early September is a good time to put in
all the cuttings of zoDale geraniums that
you can get. If you have an abundance
of stock to take euttings from, then you
can defer operations until the end of the
month, and the euttings will rout rather
more surely, but it' short of stock, these
euttings taken off now will allow the
old plants to break and give you another
lot of euttings before frost kills them.
Don 't put the euttings in the propagat-
ing bed in sand; it is waste of labor.
Pot them firmly in 2 or 2%-inch pots
and give them a light bench. This has
been with us such a wet summer that the
zonule geraniums have. made a soft growth
and there is growth without much flow-
er; so look out that you don't overwater
or they will rot. A good watering when
first potted will do for several days. In
fact, keep them rather on the dry side
until they make roots. The scented-
li-aved, variegated and bronze section,
and. at course, the ivy-leaved, we i ■ i ■ - t - i
to put in sand. Xo hurry about this,
except That you can't do everything in
one week, and toward the end of Sep-
i. ml,,, sve occasionally get a killing
trust.

This is a month of important work to
the man who caters to the bedding plant
business, and several things must be
propagated, perhaps not important
plants, but to be without them would be
annoying next May. The trailing vincas
should be put in the sand this month.
They don't root quickly, but you need
not lose one. The long growth now
spreading on the ground gives
amount of cuttings without using the
very tender tips of the growth or the
hard, woody end near the base of the
plant. The vinca is perhaps our most
reliable ''vine" or drooping plant for
vases and veranda boxes. Another plant
used as a drooper is Abutilon vexillar-
ium. Take neither the very young
growth nor the hard part of the stem,
and with plenty of water and shading
on bright days they root surely, if not
quickly.

The Cutting Bench Fungus.

-.onetimes during September we get. a
spell of weather as hot as any week of
the year and the "fungus of the cutting
bed" makes its appearance. If condi-
tions are right for the life and growth
of this minute fungus it will appear and
reappear, no matter how often you re-
new the sand. It is most easy to real-
ize that if a cutting bed has once been
infested with it that clearing out the
sand and painting the side boards or tile
with kerosene, lime or sulphur will not
kill all the germs in the house, and after
such precautions with new washed lake
sand I have seen it appear again in a
week. There were plenty of tie spores
roosting around, ready to begin opera-
tions directly conditions were favorable,
and it is where conditions are right for
the life of the fungus and wrong for the

health of the cuttings that we are vexed
and losers by its ravages.

I don't know that there are any more
correct conditions for a propagating bed
than those described by Peter Hen. hi— .11
in his "Practical Floriculture." pub-
lished thirty-six years ago. That chap-
ter dispelled a "lot of fog and myths
and bell glasses. Let me just say hen
that large growers, either of roses, car-
nations or mixed plants, can and do
have a propagating house especially
adapted for the purpose, and there is
no excuse then for failure, but with
the thousands who grow a little of many
things for the local trade the propagat-
ing bed is in most cases a bench in a
house where other things are grown, and
for ; hose I am writing. So the ti mpi

ature of the house should not 1 ret ■

degrees at night. Whether a large or a

the path side, so that on a cold night
when hard firing is necessary, the hinged
board can be opened, letting the heat
into the house and preventing the sand
from getting too warm. To go into the
question of what is the best relative
heat of atmosphere and sand would be
:i long chapter, but I can safely say that
if the temperature of the house at night
is 50 degrees and the sand 60 to
grees, it will suit admirably a whole lot
of our soft-Vi led plants.

Governor Roosevelt will tell you that
hi does not believe in any bottom heal
for carnations, while Governor Wolcott
will tell you that he prefers to keep his
propagating bench for carnations 10 de-
rmer than the temperature of
A. i oleus will certainly be
longer rooting in the sand at 60 and ton
.t 50 degrees than at. SO and 70 degrees,
respectively, but what I quoted above,
60 degrees for sand and 50 degrees for
atmosphere, will root almost anything.
A low temperature, with pure air by
veutilation, is what the fungus won't
thrive in. so choose a house for propagat-
ing where you are sure you won't be put-
ting lilies," Ramblers or azaleas in to
force out for winter.

two steam pipes or three or four hot wa-

That was a verj prai tieal pa

there are as many species of aphis in

have found. Put it on after you have

Feeding the Plants.

With the advent of September and the
taking of the buds comes the necessity
of encouraging the plants by means of
a liquid fertilizer, or in some other man
ner. to help finish off the crop in good
shape. I am aware thai some growers
make the soil rich at planting time .and.
with the possible exception of a light
mulch of rotten manure, the plants get
net hing else. So treated the plants pro
duci very medium-sized flowers as com
pared with plants thai ;nr encouraged
with liquid fertilizer, because by the
time the growth is completed the soil is
I. The eh. \ -anthemum is a

gross f ler when well rooted, and when

the bud is swelling is the time that the

dra i the plant is heaviest and the

feeding most effective.

Liquid made from sheep or covi drop
pings is most generally used. I have
found that about a bushel of sheep man-
ure with a good shovelful of soot placed
in a sack, and soaked in a barrel will
make a satisfactory brew and if not til
lowed to stand too long before being
used the first time can be used for two
or three waterings. Cow manure does
not soak so well through a Back and
should be put right into the water. Soot,
on the other hand, unless it is scattered
over the surface of the bed, should al-
ways be enclosed iu a sack or it will
float on the water and not soak properly.
The soot I am referring to is. of course.
the imported article, called Scotch soot.
which is obtained from burning soft
coal. The native soot contains less am-
monia and is not so beneficial, though
I believe it is sometimes used. Soot has
a wonderful effect on the foliage, mak-
ing it dark and healthy, and has the ad
vantaee of being perf.'.th -. i.

A 4-inch potful in fifty gallons of wa

of thi -. . and their judicious use will

noticeable. Some of the newest of the
new varieties from the same source, Aus-
tralia, are making even a finer record for
growth and appearance than the varie-
ties just named, and some world beaters
will be exhibited this fall, unless I am
greatly mistaken. They will be taken
up later in these notes, as their virtues
and vices become more manifest. It
does certainly seem just at present that
| 'Westward the star of empire takes
its way, ' ' in the case of the chrysan-
themum. Starting in China and Japan
it spread to Europe, then here, and to-
day I believe no varieties can touch the
ones raised by Mr. Pockett in Australia.
Nellie Pockett, T. Carrington and others
of his earlier seedlings are still holding
prominent places with us at the exhibi-
tion tables, which augers well for the
future of the present novelties.

Undoubtedly the Australians are much
favored by their climate, which makes
an outdoor system gf culture possible,
and every variety that I have seen im-
ported from there is strong and healthv.
Now, in this last batch, we are promised
varieties that beat for size anything yet
sent out, and reds that love the sun
instead of having to be shaded from it.
H. J. Jones was really the first satis-
factory red we ever grew that could be
fed to make a large flower and not burn
with the sun. H. J. Jones, after this
year, will be nowhere, if present growth
on new red varieties is any index to their
future greatness. Brian Bortj.

Seasonable Hints.

As the season of steady night firing
approaches there is always a good deal
of anxiety in store for the grower, for
however well he may plan and manage
during the day, he has to give the en-
tire responsibility to the night fireman
during a certain portion of the twenty-
four hours, and to the manner in which
this man performs his duties is due a
good deal of the success or failure of the
establishment.

In selecting a night fireman we must
look for a man who thoroughly under-
stands the art of firing, and who by
study and practice has also mastered the
art of keeping an even temperature by
the intelligent manipulation of valves and
ventilators. He must also be so much
of a mechanic as to be able to do simple
repairs. With these qualifications he
must also combine a cheerful, obliging
disposition, be trustworthy and able to
exercise good common sense. But above
all he must be strictly sober, else all
the other qualities go for naught. Hap-
py is the grower who has the services
of such a man, as he can go to rest with
the confidence that his orders will be
strictly attended to. For the better
guidance of the night man a thermome-
ter should be placed convenient to each
ventilating machine, and a card marked
in plain figures, showing the tempera-
ture required, should be hung where it
can be easily read.

The thermometers should be placed in
neat wooden boxes and ■ the boxes so
placed that the sun cannot shine on the
instrument at any time of tbe day. For
the convenience of the men in charge
during the day a card should be used
showing the temperature desired during
cloudy weather and giving the minimum
and maximum required during sunshine.

Ino. Breitmeyer's Sons' New Pink Seedling Rose.

(Cnuins-s made March 17, Photographed May 30. 1S03.)

This, while giving confidence to the help,
also relieves the grower from a good
deal of uneasy watchfulness.

It should be remembered that a dol-
lar or so more in the week given to se-
cure the services of a real good man is
not thrown away, as a careless, ignorant,
or incompetent night man can quickly
and easily destroy the labor of a season.

The usual work of tying, disbudding,
keeping the houses clean and the surface
of the soil in good order will occupy a
good deal of time.

Now that the nights are longer and
the days cooler a close watch will have
to be kept on greenfly, as these will now
begin to multiply rapidly. Fumigating
once a week will keep them in check
among teas and their hybrids, but in
Beauty houses it is safer to fumigate
lightly twice a week for some time to
come. This is better than to have to re-
sort to heavy smoking, which is at all
times hurtful, both to foliage and buds.

Those who have been forced to carry
over a house or so for summer cutting,
should now, if not already done, rest
them at once. At this late season a very
light pruning will suffice. Bemove all
the thin light wood and cut off the tops
of the stronger growths. During the
first two -weeks after pruning the house
should be kept moist, with night tem-
perature not exceeding 55 degrees if pos-
sible.

Growers alive to their best interests will
now see to the safe storage of their
mulching material and winter potting
soil so that they may have it in hearty
condition when needed, thus doing away
with the necessity of having to use cold,
wet material, which is neither pleasant
nor profitable. Bibes.

orate of the many pretentious floral dec-

CARNATION NOTES-EAST.

Bench Culture.

If the surface soil is not broken up
soon after the plants have become suf-
ficiently established to begin the removal
of shade, a green crust will form in which
even weeds will not flourish. This is ob-
viously a wrong condition and should be
guarded against, else the air and sun
being shut out from exerting their in-
fluence on the soil, it is liable to become
sour.

If, perchance, press of work or other
muses have prevented this operation be-
ing done at the proper time, apply a
light coat of wood ashes between the rows
just previous to breaking up.

Make a special point in cultivating,
that the crack formed by the soil shrink-
ing from the sides of the bench be dis-
posed of by firm tamping. At the same
time straighten up any plants which may
be out of line, also pick off carefully anv
dead or diseased leaves, allowing neither
these nor weeds to remain in the bench
to decompose.

A careless man at this work will do a
great amount of damage by wrenching
the plants, too deep raking, "knocking off
young shoots and branches or plucking
dead leaves as one would feathers from
a hen, so choose men endowed with skill
and patience and take a hand yourself.

The Use of Bone.

The main object in using bone is to
furnish a supply of phosphoric acid,
which is essential to the production of
well developed blooms. It also contains
nitrogen and ammonia, but the bench soil
as brought in should be of such quality
as will carry the plants through the try-
ing period of establishment in new quart-
ers without the addition of bone.

With early blooming sorts giving good-
quality of bloom and length of stem soon
after housing, it is a saving of time and
perhaps, commercially speaking, advisa-

for they are based upon the theoretical

burning coal as reported by the United
States Naval Fuel Board were as an aver-
age for seventeen tests about eight pounds
of water evaporated per pound of coal

efficiency is concerned. The heating effi-
ciency of wood varies with the kind, as
well as with the amount of moisture it
contains. Where an excessive amount of
moisture is present in the wood, a large
amount of heat is consumed in vaporizing
tills moisture. This heat would otherwise
be expended in doing the work for which
the fuel is being burned.

In some parts of the country there are
large beds of peat that might be used as
fuel, especially if put up in the form of
briquettes. The manufacture and sale of
briquettes has become an important indus-
try in some of the foreign countries, where
many kinds of fuel are wanting. Various
materials are used in the manufacture of
these briquettes, among which are lignite,
coal dust and screenings, peat, coal tar
and products, coke, charcoal and crude pe
troleum. Although almost any of the
fuels, except the gaseous, may be made
into briquettes, the principal use for this
method is the transforming of such sub-
stances as peat, coal dust and fine slack
into a form in which it may be readily
burned. Peat usually contains a high per
centage of moisture, 10 per cent when thor-
oughly dried, and 23 per cent when n-'r
dried. About 30 per cent of its available
heat is consumed in evaporating this moist-
ure. Peat also contains a large amount of
ash. 15 per cent on an average, which very
greatly diminishes its fuel value. It is.
however, about equivalent to good wood as
a heat producer, evaporating about six and
one half pounds of water to the pound of
peat fed into the furnace.

If charcoal be burned in ovens, the by-
products of its manufacture make the
process profitable, but owing to the limited
quantity of charcoal produced it can sonroe-

li I nsidered as a regular fuel. There

and it is more economical to burn the wood
itself. Charcoal has about the same heat-
ing efficiency as coke and anthracite coal.

Coke is prepared by the distillation of
bituminous coal in ovens or retorts. Un-
fortunately the same conditions that gov-
ern the output of coal also control the pro-
duction and shipment of coke, and it can
not be depended upon for use as a substi
tute for coal. Coke has about the same
heating value per pound as anthracite mil.
and burns more freely, but does not last
so long in the furnace.

The Weekly Florists' Review,

September 3. 1903.

Coal gas contains only about 20 per cent
beating value of coal, and could not
profitably be used except in an extreme
emergency. Its production, like coke, is
di pendent upon tbe output and d-
coal, so cannot be regarded as a reliable
substitute for coal.

Blast furnace gas Is tbat which is given
oft" by the partial burning of coal in a
blast furnace. This gas usually represents
about 00 per cent of the heating value of the
coal: its composition, however, is irregular
and its use practically limited to the fir-
ing of boilers connected with the blast fur-
nace establishment.

Water gas is produced by passing water
vapor or steam over hot coal : this process
produces a gas containing about 58 per
cent of the heating value of the coal.

Coal Gas.

There is a system of gas production from
coal, now in use in England and two or
three places in this country, known as the
Hand system, by which it is claimed a
great saving of coal is secured. As the
difficulties of securing a sufficient supply of
coal increase, the consumer will learn to
adopt methods whereby greater economy
may be effected. In the production of Mond
gas a very costly plant is necessary and
its use would only be possible in large
communities where the interests were large-
ly In common. It is claimed by this com-
pany that in the production of power .hey
have attained the ideal of "one horse-power,
one hour, one pound of coal." This, how-
ever cannot be realized by burning the gas
under boilers, and may be possible only by
converting the gas directly into power by
means of gas engines.

iiond gas is a highly efficient form of
water gas, containing upwards of SO per
cent of the heating value of the coal. The
gas contains about 140 heat units per cubic
foot, and a gross ton of rough slack coal
produces 1 40.000 cubic feet of gas. or 19,-
600.0(10 heat units to the ton as compared
with ::.. '■>■■'''. 2"0 heat units in a ton of the
best semi-bituminous coal, or 29,120.000
heat units in ordinary bituminous coal.
Although a greater number of heat units
are contained in a ton of coal than in the
gas produced from a ton of coal, the heat
contained in the gas is much more available
than that in the coal, as shown by the
results obtained in the recent tests made
by the Naval Fuel Board, in which only
about half the heating value of coal was
realized. It is intended, however, that this
gas shall be produced from the coal screen-
ings and the waste products, which are
usually sold very cheaply, and it is claimed
that a ton of the poorest slack will pro-
duce as much gas as a ton of lump coal of
the same grade.

By comparing the data already given it
will readily be seen that aside from wood
and natural gas. where it can be obtained,
there is very little among the solid and
gaseous fuels that can be depended upon
as substitutes for coal. We nowT turn our
attention to the liquid fuels, of which there
are but two that are worthy of consid-
eration : these are petroleum, either as it
comes from the well, or some of its prod-
ucts, and alcohol. The present supply and
the methods of the manufacture of alcohol
would not warrant its extensive use as a
fuel, but the time may not be far distant
when it may be produced in great quanti-
ties from plants, perhaps ten to fifteen tons
from an acre of ground. The thermal effi-
ciency of alcohol is not exceptionally high,

being about 12.600 units per pound, or
2,000 units less than the best semi-bitumin-
ous coal. Alcohol is exceptionally efficient
as a fuel owing to the fact that most of
the heat is available and very little is lost
in the process of combustion.

Petroleu

Fuel.

We now come to the consideration of
the most important of all the substitutes
for coal, in fact the only substitute aside
from wood, that reaches any degree of
comparison. During the scarcity of coal
last year there were many attempts made
to replace coal with oil. some few of
which wore rather satisfactory. There is
no longer any doubt regarding the mechan-
ical part of oil burning, but the expense
connected therewith is so much greater than
with the use of coal as to make it imprac-
tical under most circumstances.

Last year an oil burning test was made
at the Bureau of Printing ami F.nsraUng
at Washington, under the direction of the
officials of the Treasury Department. This
test was made under a 250 horse-power
boiler, and the oil was burned by means of
two "Branch" burners. The report upon
this test reads as follows: "The result of
the test shows that 13.8 pounds of water
were evaporated from and at 212° F. per
pound of oil. That the total amount of
oil consumed was 3,323 pounds, which at
320 pounds per barrel, makes the cost, at
SI per barrel. $10.40, and that the amount
of coal necessary to evaporate the same
quantity of water as was evaporated by
the oil, assuming eleven pounds of water
to the pound of coal would be 4.351.3
pounds, which at $4 per ton would make
the corresponding cost of coal $7.76."

In the catalogue issued by the Babcock ,*<
Wilcox Company, we find the following
statement regarding the relative value of
petroleum and coal : "Petroleum has a
heating capacity, when fullv burned, equal
to from 21.000 to 22,000 per pound, or say
50 per cent more than coal. But, owing
to the ability to burn it with less losses,
it has been found, through extended ex-
periments, that under the same boilers and
doing the same work a pound of petroleum
is equal to 1.8 pounds of coal. The experi-
ments on locomotives in Russia have shown
practically the same value, or 1.77. Now, a
gallon of petroleum weighs 6.7 pounds
(though the standard buying and selling
weight is 6.5 pounds), and therefore an
actual gallon of petroleum is equivalent
uuder a boiler to twelve pounds of coal,
and 190 standard gallons are equal to a
gross ton of coal. It is very easy with
these data to determine the relative cost.

"At the wells, if the oil is worth say 2
cents per gallon, the cost is equivalent to
$3.80 per ton for coal at the same place,
while say at 3 cents per gallon, the lowest
price at which it can be delivered in the
vicinity of New York, it costs the same as
coal at $5.70 per ton. The Standard Oil
Company estimates that 173 gallons are
equal to a gross ton of coal, allowing for
incidental savings, as in grate bars, cart-
ing ashes, attendance, etc."

The experiments just completed by the
Naval Fuel Board are the most comprehen-
sive and thorough of any that have ever
been conducted. As an average for four-
teen tests with crude oil as fuel. 11.60
pounds of water were evaporated from
about 120° F.. under a pressure of 279
pounds, to each pound of oil burned. This
is compared with the results of seventeen
coal tests in which the average evaporation

was S.12 pounds of water to each pound
of coal burned. This evaporation, in both
cases, as will be observed, took place at a
very high pressure, and included the heat-
ing of the feed water to the point where It
was evaporated. The equivalent evapora-
tion from and at 212° F. for the oil would
be 13.30 pounds of water per pound of oil,
and for the entire seventeen tests with coal
the equivalent evaporation would be 9.21
pounds of water per pound of coal. In
these coal tests, three grades of coal were
used, Pocahontas run of mine. New River
run of mine, and Pocahontas hand picked
and screened. During the first three tests
with Pocahontas run of mine, having a cal-
orific value of 14.067 heat units per pound
of coal, and 15,391 units per pound of
combustible, there resulted an equivalent
evaporation of 8.65 pounds of water per
pound of coal fed into the furnace. The
second three tests made with the same kind
of coal, but with a slightly higher heating
efficiency, produced an equivalent evapora-
tion of 9.40 pounds of water per pound of
coal fed into the furnace. The following
three tests made with New River run of
mine, having a calorific value of 14.S41
units per pound of coal, and 15.6S4 units
per pound of combustible, yielded an equiv-
alent evaporation of 9.36 pounds of water
per pound of coal fed into the furnace.
The remaining eight tests made with Poca-
hontas coal hand picked and screened, with
a calorific value of 14.992 units per pound
of coal, and 15.475 units per pound of com-
bustible, yielded an equivalent evaporation
of 9.30 pounds of water per pound of coal
fed into the furnace.

Taking the general average equivalent
evaporation, for the seventeen coal tests,
of 9.21 pounds of water per pound of coal
fed into the furnace, we have 20,360.4
pounds of water evaporated from and at
212° F. to each ton of coal consumed.

Calculating the cost of coal at $4.5 r

ton. we have a rate of .0216 of a cent per
pound of water evaporated. To evaporate
the same quantity of water, using oil as
the fuel, as was evaporated by a ton of
coal, would require 1551.1 pounds of oil.
Calculating 320 pounds of oil to a barrel,
we have 4.S5 barrels of oil equaling one
ton of coal. Owing to the fact that oil
can be burned much more economically than
coal, we are safe in assuming that four
ordinary barrels of crude , I are equal to
one ton of the best seini-l. Luminous coal
for heating purposes. With these figures
before us and the price of both coal and
oil at hand, we can very readily calculate
the comparative cost of each.

Crude oil is being successfully burned in
locomotives throughout the southwestern
part of the United States, also in all kinds
of steam generating appliances wherever
near enough the oil fields to warrant a
cheap and plentiful supply. The minimum
amount of attention required to do the
firing adds a factor in favor of petroleum
as fuel : in the case of the steamship Mari-
posa, sailing between San Francisco and
Tahiti, the introduction of oil has reduced
the firing force from twenty-two to three

The use of crude oil is. however, attend-
ed with several difficulties : it kills animaR
'bar take it inwardly, and plants with
which it comes in contact. Crude oil con-
tains all the more volatile elements, includ-
ing the naphtha, and is highly explosive
and care must be taken in handling it"
When burning it in an enclosed furnace
explosions are liable to occur should the
flow of oil become temporarily Interrupted
upon the oils resuming its flow the furnace
becomes filled with gas. which, upon ignit-
ing, produces an explosion. Where artificial
gas is available it is desirable to maintain
a small jet within the furnace and near the
burner to serve as a lighter should tbe
oil gas become extinguished. Broken fire
brick, which become white hot. will serve
to relight the gases.

Appliances for Burning Oil.

There remains no question regarding the
mechanical application of crude oil In gen-
erating heat under boilers, and the only
drawback to its general adoption are the
limitations imposed by the supply and cost.
With a sufficient supply in view, however.
the limitation of cost may be disregarded
during a short emergency period.

During the shortage in the coal supply
last year a great number of devices for
burning oil were placed upon the market.
ami main an "oiled brick" scheme was im-
posed upon the public. The advantages
claimed for many of the so-called oil burn-
ing outfits, by those who had them for sale,
were remarkable, indeed : plenty of heat
with half the cost of coal at ordinary
prices and absolute satisfaction were lib-

that cost perhaps $2 to manufacture was
Installed at a price ranging from $10 to

these were afterward discarded and many
of them are now to be found in the Junli
uliops.

In burning oil it is necessary to either
transform it into a gas and mix with the
required amount of air before it is burned.
or to spray or atomize it as it is fed into
the furnace. The object of a burner, in
the use of oil as fuel, is to get the oil Into
a finely divided state, and to get the par-
ticles in direct contact with the oxygen
of the air. The atomizing may be accom-
plished either by means of steam or com-
pressed air, the steam being the simpler
where the burner is used in connection
with a steam boiler. In a large heating
plant, where low pressure steam is the
method used, it would be necessary to in-
stall a small auxiliary boiler to furnish
high pressure steam with which to feed the
oil burners tised under the low pressure
boilers. Where electric power is available.
a motor-driven air compressor could be
used to furnish the supply of air for
atomizing the oil. The higher the tempera-
ture of the steam or air used for atom-
izing the oil. the greater will be the effi-
ciency of the burner.

The Oil Citv Boiler Works burner, used
by the Naval Fuel Board during the fli
il by mea
burner, used
In test No. 9, employs steam as the atom-
izing agent. The Oil City Boiler Works
burner, used in tests Nos. 10. 11 and 12,
requires steam to spray the oil. The F. M.
Reed burner, used in tests Nos. 13 and 14.
volatilizes the oil by means of steam, after
which a supply of air is added before leav-
ing the burner. The cost of these burners
and the expense of their installation can
be had by addressing the manufacturers.

To Build a Burner.

A very simple and efficient burner can
be constructed in the following manner.
Procure an ordinary flange union, bolt to-
gether with thin iron washers between the
parts in order to hold them separated
about 1-32 of an inch : close one end by
means of a cast iron plug and bush down
the other end to not less than one inch or
more than two inches : this forms the burn-
er and it should be placed in the center,
or perhaps a little toward the front of
the firebox, and upon the grate bars. The
bushing should form the lower end of the
burner and should be screwed to the top
of an elbow attached to a pipe that makes
one or two turns around the firebox. A
steam connection from the top of the boiler
is made to this pipe and the oil is fed into
this sham pipe through a tee to which is
attached the oil supply, the connection be-
ing made just outside the furnace. The oil
supply should be controlled by a needle
valve and the flow accomplished by using a
closed tank for the reservoir and compress-
ing the air in the top of the tank, the oil
being drawn from the bottom. To start
this apparatus, steam is first gotten up on
the boiler by means of a coal or wood fire.
First the steam and then the oil are started
through the burner and the coal fire al-
lowed to burn itself out.

In experiments recently made with an
eight horsepower upright tubular boiler,
burning crude oil. an even flame of yellow
ish color with a blue tint was secured
wiich worked the boiler to about two
thirds of its maximum capacity ; the burn-

er used was made from a - in. h flange
union. In' this test no smoke was given
off. For a larger burner a 3-inch or 4-inch,
or even larger, union may be used, or two
or three smaller unions connected to^.thoi

The greatest difficulty with burning oil
occurs when the installation is under the
smaller class of hot water heaters, such
as are used in the moderately small green-
house plants. In that case it is necessary
to generate the gas by passing the oil
through a heated coil or retort, and then
burning it by the Bunsen method. There
are a number of makes of burners designed
for the direct generation and combustion
of oil, but none of them give a perfect
flame, due as a rule to insufficient air be-
ing mixed with the gas.

The firm of Lord & Burnham are agents
for an apparatus for burning oil which Is
rather simple in construction. A closed
tank is used for containing the supply of
oil, the pipe leading to the retort and burn-
er being taken from the top of the tank.
To the bottom of the tank is attached a
valve connected with the water supply, and
as the oil is drawn from the tank it is re-
placed by the water and a uniform pressure
maintained. The oil and water will not
miugle and the amount of oil in the tank
is determined by means of a gauge-glass
which extends from top to bottom of the
tank. This system might be employed in
connection with the use of any burner.

A fair degree of success has been at-
tained with a Bunsen system of burning
refined kerosene, in which the gas was gen-
erated in a coil placed in the flre-box, the
gas being conducted from the coil, down-
ward to a point below the level of the grate,
where it was liberated through an orifice
Into a mixer, and burned with a clear blue
flame over a wire gauze stretched over the
top of the mixer. This burner is very
efficient, but is liable to produce a vibra-
tion that is sometimes equal to the noise
of a steam whistle. The wire gauze will
last but a short time, and should it be-
come perforated the burner will flash back
to the nozzle of the mixer and burn with
a white flame. The supply tank should be
elevated eight or ten feet above the burner
In order to give pressure, and inlet con-
trolled by a needle valve. This system
would work well if supplied with air from
a pressure blower, as the chief difficulty
arises from the inability to mix sufficient
air with the gas.

Conclusions.

That coal is the cheapest and best fuel
that the market affords, one pound under
ordinary conditions evaporating about
seven and one-half pounds of water at

That the provision for a liber
supply of coal is. under most circi
the safest method of providing for an emer-
gency. This supply need not be stored
near the boilers, and should only be used
when coal cannot be secured from the regu-
lar sources. The interest on the money in-
vested in such reserve supply of coal will
be wisely expended.

That a pound of dry wood will evaporate
about four pounds of water at 212° F.
That wood is in many cases the most effi-
cient substitute for coal during a short
period.

That where crude oil can be secured at
a reasonable price it is the best and most
reliable substitute for coal, and where it
can be purchased as low as $1 per barrel
it is preferable to coal at $3.30 and tin-
wards per ton. That one pound of crude

oil will evaporate 13.3 pounds of water at
212° F„ and that one pound of oil has a
heating efficiency equal to that of about
1.6 pounds of coal. Also that the use of
oil is clean and economical so far as the
flre-room work is concerned, and if prop-
erly burned, no smoke is produced.

That the mechanical part of oil burning
has passed the first experimental stage and
has proved successful. That there are a
number of good burners upon the market,
especially of the sprayer class, using com-
pressed air or steam for volatilizing the oil.

ST. LOUIS WORLD'S FAIR.

Those who visited the Buffalo exposi-
tion, or the one at Omaha, will remem-
ber the representative character of the
florists and nurserymen who exhibited
there. Chief F. W. Taylor, of the
St. Louis World's Fair,- who occu-
pied a similar position in both the
expositions mentioned, reports that
nearly exery exhibitor he has had
heretofore, together with a good
many others, will be in attendance at St.
Louis in 1904. The exhibits already
planted cover as many acres as were
used in' Buffalo for the entire outdoor
exhibit. When the next fall's and next
spring's plantings are added to what has
already been done, there will be at least
fifty acres of outdoor planting of exhib-
its, entirely aside from the landscape
work of the exposition itself. The ma-
terial already planted includes ever-
greens, hardy shrubs, roses, peonies and
other hardy perennials.

A recent letter from the Mexican com-
mission says that they will bring with
them five carloads of plants for a part
of the horticultural exhibit.

THE FLORIST NOT TO BLAME.

On the editorial page in the Septem-
ber issue of the Ladies' Home Journal
appears the editor 's views on the custom
of display at funerals. Of course, the
use of flowers comes in for its share of
criticism ami in till probability, consider-
ing the lii",h standing of the publication,

"those fearful conceptions of the ignor-'
ant florist. ' ' but why make it appear that
the florists as a class are ignorant, When
as a rule they are wholly in the hands
of the relatives or friends of the de-
ceased on these occasions?

The law of supply and demand is pres-
ent in our trade, as in others, but let no
one think the florist so devoid of knowl-

CONVENTION REMINISCENCES.
Everybody is now back from the coi

ance of generous entertainment have aev-
er been equaled in the history of the

S. A. P. The pare set is a hard one to
follow, but Viee-President Ben eke and
the St. Louisiana are already planning
to excel it. New York is proud to have
furnished the mover and seconder of the
unadorned nomination of IVesidoiit
Breitmeyer, Harry Bunyard and J. P..
Nugent and it feels more than phased
with the fine bowling record of Captain
Lang.

The exhibit of handsome fat men at

the convention has never I n equaled.

At St. Louis a fat men's bowling team
would be as attractive as the bowling
of the ladies, and it. could be selected
from those mountains of good nature
and avoirdupois, Messrs. p. J. Foley, of
Chicago; W. .1. fferendeen, of Geneva;
W. I'. Easting, of Buffalo, P. R. Mathi-
son, of Waltham; .1. F. Sullivan, of De
troit; I'.'t.r Crowe, of Utica; Dan Mac-
Rone, of Orange; Julius Kretschmar, of
Brooklyn; E. EGppard, of Sourigstown;
Arnold Ringier, and Anton Then, of Chi-
cago, and Warren Ewell, of Boston, over
3,000 pounds of happiness.

f wonder if Leuly, of Hoboken, will
wheel to San Francisco when the eon
vention goes there about 1919. The dis-
tance wouldn't worry him; he manages
in gel i here every year.

Never were the ladies so generously
eared for as in Milwaukee. The vice-
president may lay claim for all time to
his well won honors as the champion "la-
dies' man," and he nearly absorbed the
top prize, for bowling and the presidency
also. His labors have been persistent,
unselfish and fair in behalf of all and
the society has a good memory. He van
afford to wait patiently for the recog-
nition he deserves.

The Chicago example of large hearted-
ness is an indication of how the windy
city does things. There seems to be no
limit to its purse and its usefulness. The
banquet at the Auditorium and the
"open house" farewell with its musical
accompaniment are memories that will
never fade. There is nothing small about
Chicago. A visit on Sunday last with
Edgar Sanders was most enjoyable, from
the inspection of the famous "den" of
horticulture to the pleasant r

reaching back over the years since the
S. A. I-'. was horn. Thai' Brother Sand-
ers iii.-i% meet us in 1904 al St. Louis.

friends.

The possibility of the society Eui nish-

ing its own program was den si raid

ai the president 's reception by the sing
ing of .Miss Fiilmer and the willingness
of many others to do their share. This
feature, under Brother Ben eke 's super-
vision, can be splendidly amplified at
St. Louis.

If .1. P. WilC0X had won the hie. ling

championship, it would have been a pop-
ular victory. His modesi alon pre

vented him.

The number of prostrations at this
convention was unusual. And the article
that made Milwaukee famous looked
clear and pure, too! Perhaps it was the
water! One has to be so careful when
awav from home.

Two of the most contented souls in
the multitude were Messrs. Craw and
Fiitlieriiighain. of Irvington and Tarry-
low a. No wonder! Both married since
the Asheville convention.

IVm. Dilger, of Detroit, was horn
lucky. The hotel thieves left him all his
money and he was going to buy a uc-w
wateh, anyway, on the first of Septem-
ber.

H. M. Altiek proved himself a good
all-around man. and as a speaker, bow-
ler and shooter he generally hits the
mark. His carnation circular met with
general approval.

.L W. Deake and Mrs. Deake deco-
rated with a badge, in. •lulling the S. A.
P. buttons of many years, came all the
way from Asheville to see if the conven-
tion of 1902 could be excelled; Everj
body had kind words and memories of
their line work last season.

And as we meet and part, and fare-
wells are spoken, and hands wave g I

byes, and happy memories are cherished,
we renew life's battles stronger and Let-
ter for these annual reunions. May not
one of all the happy throng be mission-
when we greet one another at the great
exposition in 1904.

THE YEAR IN COLORADO.

Here is a model report of a state vice-
presidi oi of the S. A. I-'. Its author is
.1. A. Valentine, president of the Park
Floral ' o., of Denver, and the ideas em-
bodied are deserving of serious consider-
ation. The full report follows:

Reports from different growers and re-
tailers indicate that trade in general

has been very satisfactory and that thi

ily from y.-ar t.. year. Retail buyers

show a decided tend. -in -V to lie more crit-
ical as to quality and to appreciate the
value of anything which may be account
ed a novelty. The quality of flowers pro-
duced has been such as to meet this more
critical demand, except in the summer
season. The home trade is almost noth-
ing during- the summer months, but the
state is blessed with a great many .'.in-
ventions and a pretty steady stream of
tourists. The conventions seem to have
no appreciable effect on the flower trade,
but the tourists are often flower buyers
of means, who demand stock of a good
quality. So far the florists of the state
have not given this matter of summer
supply the attention it deserves.

Previous to this year the supply of
Beauties in the Denver market has not
been equal to the demand, a great many
being shipped in from Omaha and from
Chicago, but this summer the Montelair

houses of Mrs. R. Mauff have increased
their area and have devoted t

though

mties. It seems now as
rtage is likely to be more
and an ovorsupply pro-
< also true as regards the
n.se Madame Chatenay, which proved to
be verv popular last season, while it was
comparatively scarce, but it is doubtful
whether the trade will consume all the
stock from the increased planting.

Violets still continue to be the bane of
most florists' existence in this locality.
Mah-r A: Dankworth have been the only
firm in the vicinity of Denver who have
met with uniform success in violets dur-

In carnations there will be heavy plant-
ings of most of the introductions "of 1903.
It remains to be seen whether the flower
buying public will consume all of the
cut from the largo number planted at the
prices which novelties are entitled to
bring.

There have been several unsuccessful
attempts in former years to conduct a
wholesale .ut flower establishment on a
.on, mission basis in Denver. Lyle C.
Waterbury has recently opened an estab-
lishment to be conducted on a commis-
sion basis and announces his intention
of carrying a full line of supplies usually
carried by such concerns. Such an estab-
lishment would be a great convenience
to the retail florists of the city, as well
as to the growers, and it is to be hoped
that the volume of business will be suffi-
cient to justify Mr. Waterbury in con-
tinuing in the business.

The season has been a very backward
one and frost was noted in Denver as
late as July 3. This unseasonable weath-
er interfered very considerably with the
ordinary bedding trade, but when the
end of the season was reached the total
volume appeared to be in excess of last
year. There still continues to be a
marked increase in the demand for orna-
mental shrubbery and hardy herbaceous
plants.

in any other. The behind hand florist is
directly competing with experts in his
own line who are fully up to date and
some of them just a page or two
of the times. For instance Sain I
is the Lou Dillon of the chrysanthemum
business. He breaks his own Xcw Eng-
land record four days this year by bring-
ing in a dozen August 25, and following
it up in a limited manner.

There is some remonstrance against
average prices, but good material is gen-
erally" selling at fair rates. There is,
however, a decided droop on the Sham-
rock and a better movement in may-
flowers, golden rod, columbine and other
distinctly American specialties in which
we can always place our Keliance.

Notes.

Have you noticed that Iliffe evidently
patterned his system of heating the mar-
ket by the elevated railroad? Part of
the time it is overhead and then under-
foot. The first time greenhouse methods
have been introduced in a Boston busi-
ness block. I am told.

A slip of the pen last week gave the
wrong hour for the auction sale of stalls
at the flower market. It comes off Satur-
day, September 12, at 9 a. m., and there
is "much speculation as to the results in
a room big enough to hold all comers.
But the new location seems to be a suc-
cess all right. Can anyone name a cus-
tomer who frequented the old market
and does not come regularly to the new?
J. S. Manter.

ST. LOUIS.

The Market.

Business is reported as having been
pretty good the past week, consisting al-
together of funeral work. There is no
trouble to get stock, as everything is
very plentiful, though mostly of the
poorer grade. First-class stock is still
scarce and will continue so until cooler
weather sets in. We have had a few
good soaking rains of late, which will
help outdoor stock greatly. The opening
of the schools next week and the return
of the summer vacationists should im-
prove business, especially the transient
trade of the downtown stores. Some of
the wholesalers report that shipping trade
is again good and that quite a few ship-
ments were made the past week.

Among the best roses that are in the
market are Bride, Kaiserin, Carnot and
Meteor. The very best of these bring $5
to $6 per 100. Seconds are sold at almost
any price, as there are too. many of them
in the market at present. A few good
Beauties are also seen, but not with
extra long stems. The best sell at $2 per
dozen, and from that they range down to
$4 per 100. Good carnations are still
scarce. Field-grown stock is small and
short-stemmed and not fit for cut flower
work. For these 50 and 75 cents per 100
is considered a big price. A few good
Hills bring $1. No good Daybreak or
reds are in the market. Asters are very
plentiful, with only the long white and
purple in demand, at $1.50 per 100, and
50 cents is all the small ones bring.
Tuberose stalks are plentiful; in fact,
there is an overstock, which is also true
of glad] es ' ' bring $3 and

- and they are still
cheaper in 1000 lots. The demand for
other outdoor stock is poor, with plenty
of everything in the market. There has
been quite a demand for smilax and the
market seems to be well supplied with it.

Various Notes.
During the past week we have had quite
an array of visitors. Among the first
was Col. Paul Berkowitz. of H. Bayers-
dorfer & Co., Philadelphia, with a well-
filled order book. Then came J. Stern,
from the same town, selling wax floral
designs. L. Baumann, of Chicago, was
next, with decorative articles. All re-
port good trade in their lines since the
convention. George Vestal, of Little
Eock, and William Bastien, who is with
George M. Kellogg, at Pleasant Hill, Mo.,
also made friendly calls on the trade.

Robert F. Tesson, who took sick in Chi-
cago after the convention, is up and
around again at his home in Clayton.

The decorations made by Carl and Rob-
ert Beyer at the twenty-first harvest fes-
tival held at Lemps Park were again
the feature of the big display. The affair
lasted two days, Sunday and Mondav.
August 30 and* 31.

Mr. and Mrs. Fred C. Weber are ex-
pected home this week from Michigan,
where they went from the convention.
During their absence Fred, Junior, is
taking good care of everything that
comes in.

C. C. Sanders' places on Delmar ave-
nue and on Henley road are in fine shape
for the coming season and he expects
to be well supplied with fine roses, carna-
tions and chrysanthemums for his home
trade.

At Frank Fillmore's place everything
is in fine shape. His roses and carna-
tions are looking at their best. Frank
had to do jury duty the past week, which
he says is too much bench system for him.
The September meeting of the Florists '
Club will be held next Thursday after-
noon at Fred Ammann 's place in Ed-
wardsville, 111. The meeting will open
promptly at two o 'clock and the mem-
bers are requested to meet at twelve at
the bridge entrance to take the Lans-
down ear. President Dunford expects a
large attendance, as the meeting will be
of great importance to all the mem-
bers. The installation of officers will
take place. An essay will be read by
Frank M. Ellis on ' ' trade in Cut Flow-
ers the Past Season." The convention
delegates will tell of their experiences at
Milwaukee and Chicago, of how they cap-
tured everything except the bowling
match. It is also expected that the new-
officers will put the machine in opera-
tion at once for the convention next
year. Brother Ammann promises a good
time for all, so don 't fail to attend and
take part in the proceedings.
Bowling.
The first bowling since the convention
occurred last Monday night at the Blue
Ribbon alleys, just to show what we can
do at our home alleys:

house and enlarging their carnation
house.

Clyde. O.— W. E. Hall has torn down
two of his old houses and will build one
modern structure in their place.

The hot weather forced out the roses
and resulted in an unwieldy supply of
soft stock, but the few cool, rainy days
changed all that and cut down the crops
to a surprising degree, so that receipts
have been light this week. There are
still enough of the low grade flowers, but
shipping demand has taken a spurt and
the wholesalers have had to do a great
deal of hunting to find satisfactory ma-
terial for their orders and in some in-
stances, it was impossible, to fill them
even in part. Beauties of the 20 and
24-inch lengths are in good demand and
hard to get.

Carnations from indoors are again
coming along and the supply will show
a steady increase. Of course the stems
are short as yet, but the stock is good
for so early, it having been a very favor-
able season. Some excellent Semple's
asters are in and selling fairly well. There
are still quantities of the low grade stuff,
which is hard to get rid of at any price.
Good auratum lilies are still to be had,
but much of the receipts in this line, too,
are poor and hardly salable. Gladioli
continue in heavy supply, but few dahlias
are seen and these few sell slowly. Greens
of .ill kinds are equal to all requirements.

The Market.
The condition of business at the pres-
ent time is an exact counterpart of last
week's report, after one of the worst
fortnights of the year. But the end of
all things discouraging approaches and
before we know it schools will open,
theaters will again demonstrate their
value to the trade and the return of the
"600" from country resorts will begin.
Already signs of autumn appear. Vio-
lets are in the market, chrysanthemums
will soon be with us, and fall shows and
well-stocked retail stores before another
moon. New coats of fresco ornament
the walls and ceilings, and both whole-
salers and retailers are getting ready for
the good times when the discouragements
of the unprofitable summer will be for-
gotten.

Various Items.

Charlie Carlin, of Thorley's, is back
from the mountains and the season may
be safely said to have begun.

Small 's windows are very attractive
this week, one with a fine display of
Nympha»a Devoniensis, and the other
banked with Anna Foster ferns.

The yacht races are about over and
their influence caused hardly a ripple on
the floricultural sea. A good active, ris-

Alex. McConnell, of Fifth avenue, re-
ceived orders for two fine wreaths this
week from J. Ogden Armour, of Chi-
cago, and Lolita Armour, whose recovery
through the agency of Dr. Lorenz made
her famous. The designs were made of
cattleyas, cypripediums and valley and
were- very handsome. This firm had the
decorations for the Allcock wedding at
the Holland House last week, using many
palms, American Beauties, Bridesmaids
and valley, and keeping the display intact
for many days.

A large clock of handsome design, and
abundant fresco work, make the Fifth
avenue store of Thomas Young, Jr., as
good as new.

J. H. Troy, of the Bosary, has many
interesting stories to tell of his trip
abroad, and looks several years youneer
since he visited the scenes of his youth.
He must have some good neighbors near
Ms new store at Thirty-fourth street, as
he has the street decorated with bays,
bamboos and topiary work nearly from
Fifth avenue to Madison.

A communication from Wm. Elliott re-
joices in the wresting of the silver lov-
ing cup from the Boston Club by the
New Jersey Bowling Green Club, of
which he is a member, after a three
years' struggle. The match was played
on the grounds of the Boston Curling
Club, Cambridge. Mass., and he says the

.lii-' viirs made their opponents "look
like 30 cents."

A card from John Nash, dated Paris,
indicates a very happy European trip
and an early return to the activities of
the Coogan building. Mr. Nash will
reach New York early the coming week.

All the European travelers are return-
ing. Mr. and Mrs. Vincent, of "White
Marsh, Md., have already arrived at their
southern home.

Nearly all the wholesalers are now re-
ceiving shipments of violets, and may be
said to be " rushing the season, ' ' as the
demand is very limited. With the open-
ing of many theaters next week a market
will doubtless be provided for all first-
class stock that reaches the city.

H. E. Froment, bookkeeper at W.

The weather for five days has been as
little like the delightful brand furnished
at Milwaukee, as conventionists can im-
agine. From the sunny climate of Chi-
cago, even with its 90 degrees of hu-
midity and heat, the transition to the
storm and cold of the metropolis was
distressing. Five days of chilling rain
and a storm that strewed the shores of
the Sound with wreckage was an unsea-
sonable welcome home to those who tar-
ried by the way. But a delightful Sep-
tember and October are promised in re-
ward for this "ye;u without a summer,"
and no more charming autumns are en-

Death of Frederick Law Olmsted.

Frederick Law Olmsted, the noted land-
scape architect, died here August 28, at
the age of 81. Mr. Olmsted has left
the impress of his genius on many of
the finest park systems of the countrv.
He it was who laid out- the World's
Fair grounds in Chicago in 1892— a
scheme of landscape gardening which
drew forth unstinted praise from ar-
tists of the old and new world. He cre-
ated the schemes for Central park, New
York; the South Park system, Chicaso;
Prospect park, Brooklyn; the Boston
park system, Biltmore, at Asheville, N.
C, and many other important works.
Boston in 1901 perpetuated Mr. Olm-
sted 's name by uniting Lavarett and
Jamaica parks and renaming the new
vista Olmsted park.

Mr. Olmsted was born in Hartford,
Conn., in 1822, and studied engineering
at Yale in 1845 and 1846. After a few
years spent in practical farming Tie
made, in 1850, a pedestrian tour of Great
Britain and the continent of Europe. A
few years afterward he took another
journey through France, Italy and Ger-
many. In 1856 he began the work of
preparing the plans for the building of
Central park, New York. Four years
were devoted to the superintendeney of
the execution of those plans, and Mr.
Olmsted returned to Europe for a brief

For two years the great outdoor artist
worked in California as a member of
the commission having in charge the Na-
tional park of the Yosemite, and on his
return to New York in 1866 he began
to plan Prospect park, Brooklyn, in as-
sociation with Calvert Vaux.

Almost to the time of his death Mr.
Olmsted looked like a man in the prime
of life. His journeyings abroad, his
long rides on horseback through the
south, and his love for outdoor exercise
gave him a constitution like iron. He
had a summer home on Deer Isle, Me.,
which he seldom left before Thanksgiv-
ing. Mr. Olmsted is survived by his
wife, a daughter and his sons, who are
following their father's profession at
Brookline, Mass.

TROUBLE WITH CYCAS.

We have cycas on which the old leaves
turn yellow as soon as a new whorl grows.
They have had plenty of heat and water.
Shall we feed them? J. J. L.

A cycas in good health should hold its
foliage for two years, and if the plants
in question are not newly imported stock
and are well-established, it would seem
as though it were a case of starvation.
Supposing such to be the case, it would
be beneficial to give them some liquid
manure of moderate strength about once
a week, though repotting would be more
permanently helpful. With newly im-
ported cycas stems there is sometimes a
loss of foliage from defective or insuf-
ficient root action, and in the latter con-
dition overwatering might aggravate the
trouble. W. II. Tapltn.

FUNERAL FLOWERS.
A Washington publication, The New
Century, prints the following:

A correspondent asks us "to attack" the
custom of lavishly displaying garlands and
"set pieces" of flowers at funerals. We should
be glad to oblige our correspondent if we
thought "attacks" on this sort of thing ever
did any good.

It Is natural enough that bereaved friends,
kindly acquaintances and sympathetic neighbors
should wish to offer some beautiful tribute to
the dead, and flowers are the most appropriate
pnssibk- symbols of love and hope. It is not
true that the offering of flowers in memory of
the dead is a "Pagan custom," as our friend
says, in an un-Christian sense. Everything la
Paganism was not antagonistic to Christian sen-
timent. If the rose was a symbol of Venus.
C: ristians have made it a symbol of the Blessed
Virgin; and It Is no unusual thing. In
Christian symbolical pictures, to see lilies left
In the tomb of the Immaculate, as she ascends
to Heaven. Whether a man be Pagan or
Christian, the natural desire to reverence the
dead, t* show love for them, springs in his
heart; It must take some form, and, in all
ages, especially In the case of the young, it
has takeu the form of a tribute of flowers.

The oflering of flowers at the grave of the
dead is a beautiful and human custom. It Is
perfunctory, if it becomes a mere matter of
fashion, if it loses its simplicity and taxes

the

Wm. F. Gude states that the editor
published this matter without reference
to any florist and that it nearly escaped
notice, but on being called to the at-
tention of the Washington Florists ' Club
the following resolutions were adopted:

Whereas, the New Century, a weekly paper
published in this city, has given expn-ssion
through its editor favoring the use of tlnwers
at funerals and other memorial occasions, evi-
dencing by his editorials not only his broad-
ness of views, but also his love for the beau-
tiful.

Therefore, be it resolved by the Wash-
ington Florists' Club that the thanks of this
association are due and are hereby tendered
to Hon. D. I. Murphy, the editor of the said
paper. Resolved, that a copy of these reso-
lutions be forwarded to the New Century and
insorilicd on our minutes.

The Market.
Everything in the flower line has giv-
en way to the aster for the past two
weeks. I have never seen them so plen-
tiful or so cheap as they are at pres-
ent. Good flowers, with long stems, can
be bought at from 50 cents to $1 per
hundred and the florists are using them
in vast quantities to fill up their win-
dows. Roses are not very plentiful but
there are just about enough to supply
the demand, which is not heavy. A
good deal of mildew is noticeable on
most of them. Carnations are equal to
all wants and can be bought at a low
figure. All kinds of outdoor stock is
plentiful, including Japanese lilies.
Business is only fair and, although we
had about 25.000 visitors during the last
week, none of the florists seem to have
been enriched to any considerable ex-
tent. What business was done was prin-
cipally in the line of festooning and
window decorating.

Various Notes.

The death of Dr. Charles B. Brigham
removes one of the most enthusiastic
growers of plants on the coast. The
scientific cultivation of flowers, espe-
cially tuberous begonias, gloxinias and
ferns, occupied much of his time. Dr.
Brigham was well known by all the
craft and his demise is universally re-
gretted.

A visit to the greenhouses of E. T.
McLellan, at Burlingame, shows every-
thing in apple-pie order. Fifteen men
are employed on the place and the

pleted. A large batch of valley

was noticeable; this firm has been very
sucessful with this popular flower.
Everything on the grounds has a thrifty
appearance and bespeaks a big harvest
later on.

I saw several large cases of Lilium
Harrisii opened today by a local seed
house. They were in good shape and
were sent out by W. W. Barnard & Co.,
( Chicago.

The Department of Agriculture at
Washington will spend a large sum in
the purchase of land in California for
the cultivation of plants and seeds, and
buildings for their housing. The deter-
mination of the department to provide
for this enterprise became known this
week through the announcement of Pro-
fessor Arnold V. Stubenrauch, of the
horticultural department of the Univer-
sity of California, as one of the
committee of two to select a site for
the proposed station. The appointment
was made by Dr. A. J. Pieters, head of
the division of plant introduction and
seed distribution of the Department of
Agriculture, with whom Professor Stu-
benrauch recently toured the state. P.
II. Dorsett, of Los Angeles, was ap-
pointed the other member of the com-
mittee, who will be called upon to se-
lect a site of loo acres in some fertile
and well irrigated spot. G.

which .1. Breitmeyer's Sons will place on
the market the coming season. All the
fall exhibitions will see it in all its glory.
As you know, this great acquisition origi-
nated at Grand Rapiils live years ago, its
parentage being Bridesmaid and Test-
out. From a stock of 1,900 plants in
1902 the firm has now in grand growth
over 16,000 from which to cut and propa-
gate. This shows the faith the P.reit-
meyers have in the variety. In fact, or-
ders have already been booked for nearly
100,000 plants, and the first year's sales
are expected to total half a million. The
rose is a wonderful propagator, strong,
an easy grower, tree from mildew, makes
no blind wood, has the tea habit, every
blind shoot the same as Beauty, everitu
ally bringing a bud. The rose has not
yet been christened, and $100 in gold
will be offered as a prize to the one who
furnishes the most appropriate name, a
committee of Detroit ladies passing upon

Mr. Dorner, of La Fayette, Mr. Folev,
of Chicago, and Mr. Raekham were
guests with me of the genial Fred, at
Mt. Clemens, on Tuesday. Five miles out
from the city J. F. Sullivan's ranch
looks (bright and prosperous with its
wealth of Golden Glow and asters, and
its greenhouses in apple-pie condition.
Mr. Sullivan is installing a new water
system, which will end anxiety as to the
moisture supply in the future. His store
has been modernized since I saw it a year
ago, and is now "one of the finest."
The business seems to be always boom-
ing there and .Mrs. Sullivan grows young-
er as the ducats increase. Norman is a
chip off the old block, and has completely
outstripped his paternal parent as a
bowler.

B. Schroeter seems to be making sub-
stantial progress, and Mr. Breitmeyer's
corner looks just as superb and the wel-
come of the force is just as warm as it
has been for many a year. There has
been no change in the lieutenants, ladies
and gentlemen, for an age. I don 't see

department intact so long. But the presi-
dent is a good man to tie to! His elec-

the general run of tree planters. He says:
"Bear in mind that the tree has been
disturbed, received a shock, it is very
sick. You do not want plum pudding
and roast the first thing after a long sick-
ness; well, then, do not' give it to your
tree in the shape of strong loam; do not
cover the roots or allow them to touch
it at all. Cover it first with the poorest
material that you dig out in working the
hole, and cover the roots with the same.
Make the tree struggle for a living (on
the same principle as the cutting bench).
Strong loam causes a fungous growth
and decay sets in. ' '

the later kinds are yet uncertain, and
will depend on weather in September.

The Market.

The hot spell is at an end and the
temperature is down as low as 50 degrees
at night. The quality of stock has im-
proved as cuts were reduced. The keep-
ing qualities of roses are especially bene-
fited, and there is much more stock that
will do for the shipping trade. As the
supply of outdoor stock diminishes, the
shipping trade increases and there is
quite an active out-of-town demand. Sev-
eral of the retailers were very busy with
large funeral orders, and the general re-
port is that business is unusually good.
Altogether it turned out to be by far the
best August we have ever known.

Stock, both housed and in the field, is
looking remarkably well this year, and
growers are predicting great things. The
season was very favorable for carna-
tions, and the plants are fine. Boses,
likewise, are in good shape. Chrysanthe-
mums are coming along fast, and it
looks as though several varieties will be
in very early. The present cool spell will
check them somewhat, so that they will
not be in before the market is ready
for them.

Stock quotations are very much the
same as last week, though the supply is
not so large, especially roses. If the

Various Notes.

The forty-eighth annual fair of the
Hamilton County Agricultural Societv
drew out a warm competition for floral
honors between George & Allan and J. T.
Conger. Considering the season of the
year, very creditable displays were made.
Mr. Conger captured most of the prizes
for plants and George & Allan did like-
wise on cut flowers. The display was
the best seen at the fair for many years.

During a heavy windstorm last week
Charles Jones' big plate glass show win-
dow was blown in. The loss was about
$200, but Mr. Jones carried insurance.

The entries for the Fall Festival flow-
er shows are now closed. Every class
will be warmly contested, and I believe
that these shows will bring together the
finest lot of flowers even seen at this time
of year. I would advise all florists who
intend visiting the festival this year to
be sure to be present on flower days.
The first show, September 10, will be
devoted entirely to cut flowers and plants,
the second, September 17, to table dec-
orations. I venture to say that the table
decorations will be the finest ever seen
in this city.

Wm. Murphy is now on his way to
Snow Island, where he will spend several
weeks. He will be joined later by C. C.
Murphy and daughter.

104 So. 13th Street, Philadelphia.

I am in a position to handle any orders for Philadelphia or vicinity, either large or small; would
be pleased to have corespondent!! with the trade in general.

Our facilities for handling orders either for flowers or plants, are of the very best.

U. J. VIRGIN,

NEW ORLEANS, LA.

S. B. Stewart,

No. 16tk Street, OMAHA, NEB.

BALTIMORE.

We have gone back to the old refrain ;
clouds, rain ; rain, clouds. For five days
we have scarcely seen the sun and in one
night there was a rainfall of three and
a half inches. The temperature is low
and at night is suggestive of mildew, and
the impending necessity of early fires.
Flowers outside are greatly damaged by
the excessive moisture.

Trade last week was lamentably short,
but on Saturday there was a little spurt.
Many persons are returning to their city
homes. This will have some effect on
business. The cool summer has been one
of general health; the mortality was
light, and the demand for funeral flow-
ers below the average.

Golden Gate, under the conditions of
moderate temperature, has this season
proved itself a good summer rose, one
of the best paying varieties now grown.

Certain wholesalers in a neighboring
city are sending flowers into this market,
"to be paid for if sold," whereat the in-
dignation of our home growers may be
imagined.

Frank G. Berger and wife are off on
a sea trip to New Foundland, and Kich-
ard Vincent and wife are lately returned
from a European trip.

Henry Pfister, formerly gardener at
the White House and now engaged in
business in Washington, and Charles
Dudley, of Parkersburg, W. Va., were in
town last week.

The Market.

The past week was a verj

dull

one.

Business was at a standstill.

This

Au-

gust was the dullest month

the

ra. 1-

has experienced for many j

ears.

We

are all eager for a reaction in business,
and it is hoped that fall business will
soon make its appearance. Outdoor
flowers, such as asters, gladioli, album
and rubrum lilies and short carnations
continue to be a glut and can be bought
at extremely low figures. Some very
good Kaiserin roses are sent in by Pat-
rick Maier.

Notes.

The Pittsburg Eose and Carnation
Co., at Bakerstown, is beginning to cut
some good American Beauties from the
new plants.

At Blind Bros. ' place everything is in
fine condition. With a greater boiler
capacity than last year they anticipate
good results this season.

B. L. Elliott is shipping the Pittsburg
Cut Flower Co. quantities of Shakes-
peare gladioli, of which the quality is
line.

It is rumored that another new whole-
sale commission house is to be opened
in this city by one of the street Greeks.

The lone fisherman, Phil Langhans, is
back again at his post.

Thos. M. Ulam and wife left Satur-
day for New York.

Hoo-Hoo.

North Wales, Pa. — Charles Kreible is
building an addition to his greenhouses
in the west end.

Owosso, Mich. — Herbert Deal died

was hastened by the tragic death of
Mrs. Deal a year ago.

The Weekly Florists' Review.

September 3, 1903.

CLEVELAND.

The Market

Tin- ileum ml and supply of cut fiowera
have been at odds the past week and nut
satisfactory to anyone. Early in the
week the extreme hot weather brought
on a lot of poor, soft roses that no one
seemed to want at any price, while the
latter part of the week found a shortage
and a very brisk demand for all kinds
of funeral flowers. Carnations are very
scarce and poor. Asters were almost
mined by the heavy rains and hail.
Gladioli are very plentiful, but in poor
demand.

Various Notes.

Our Milwaukee delegation was well
pleased with the trip, and all agree that
it was the very best convention they
ever altended.

Vacations are still in order and seem
to be very popular. C. B. Wilhelmy has
just returned from a two weeks' trip to
New York City, Philadelphia and At-
lantic City, stopping at many cities go-
ing and coming, and visiting as many
florists as time would permit. Mr. Wil-
helmy speaks very highly of the eastern
florists, their places and the many kind-
nesses shown him.

F. K. "Williams and family have re-
turned from a two weeks' lake trip to
West Superior and Duluth. Mr. Will-
iams reports a delightful trip, and rec-
ommends it for anyone desiring a rest.

William Warnke spent his vacation at
Painesville and had a splendid time.
E.

Vancouver. B. C— James Pont, M; J.
Henry. C. Helmer and Mr. Jacobs, ac-
companied by H. H. Page and Ed Tunne-
eliffe. of Henry's forces, are off on their
annual hunting and fishing trip for two
weeks.

Enclosed is another dollar for the Re-
view; I find it one of the things indis-
pensable.— Jas. Harris, Milton, Ore.

NEW BEDFORD, MASS.

We had very cool weather for the
month of August. Old-timers say it is
the coldest August for twenty-two years.
There is plenty of funeral work, but not
much of anything else to do. Asters are
very plentiful. We are getting some very
nice Semples.

A visit to S. S. Peckham's greenhouses
in Fairhaven found him very busy install-
ing a little water works of his own. Mr.
Peckham has had harder work getting a
sufficient supply of water than a man
would have getting a supply of Milwau-
kee beer in a no-license town, but he
thinks he is on easy street now so far as
water is concerned. He is getting his
water from a never failing spring about
a quarter of a mile from his place, pump-
ing it to his greenhouse with a petroleum
engine. Mr. Peckham's stock is looking
fine and his houses are all cleaned up in
good shape for the coming winter.

E. Y. Pierce has just finished a new
house and has it planted in chrysanthe-
mums. .

A. B. Hathaway has not yet finished
his new house, but says he will have it
completed in a few days.

Arthur Ashley, formerly manager of
the Tuxedo Greenhouses, is erecting a
new house, 30x140, on Hillman street. He
intends to fill it with carnations.

The Mann brothers, of Kandolph, have
been the guests of E. H. Chamberlain.

Mr. Munson, of New Haven, Mr. Ring-
er, of Bobbink & Atkins, Mr. Greenlaw,
of N. F. McCarthy & Co., and a new man
from' W. A. Manda 's, whose name we did
not learn, have all been recent visitors.

R. E. Nofftz has returned home from a
visit to his old home in Germany. Dick is
looking fine. He says he is feeling much
better and would like to have staid
longer. Tou will hear something from
the Florists' Club now that Dick has re-
turned. C-

OMAHA.

The past week was an improvement
over the preceding one, but that is not
saving much. Stock is very poor and
scarce, caused by excessive rains. The
heaviest rainfall ever experienced in
Omaha came Wednesday, August 26, al-
most six inches in twelve hours, and in
thirty hours over nine inches of water

wife have returned from their eastern

Impressions of

Western Growing Methods.

BY JOSEPH HEACOCK, WYNCOTE, PA.

mmmmMmm mmmmmiwmm> ;tw^

One of the pleasantest features of the
convention of the S. A. F. is the" oppor-
tunity it gives of meeting our brethren
of distant parts of our great country,
and when time permits to see their places;
to actually shake hands and talk with
the man who has the largest greenhouse
establishment in the world, to compare
notes and then to feel how far these men
of Chicago have passed us of the east.

A party of twenty-five were, on the
Saturday after the convention, piloted
from the center of Chicago to Peter
Reinberg's. A pleasant ride of nearly
an hour by trolley, and it was announced
"we get out here." One of the party
on a rear seat, upon arising and catching
his first view of the houses, the ends of
which, abutting on the street, reached
nearly half a mile along the highway,
raised his hands towards" heaven and ex-
claimed, "Oh! my God!"

I shall never forget the first view, for
it seemed to me that there was nothing
to be seen but glass. Nor shall I forget
the last view, for there stood those ten
immense brick stacks (besides several
belonging to Geo. Beinberg) some sev-
enty-five feet high, standing like sentinels,
as it were, over all that glass.

No time was lost, and we were con-
ducted through house after house of car-
nations and roses, all in fine condition,
until we met and were introduced to
the proprietor. We of the east have
been under the impression that these im-
mense places in and around Chicago have
been developed from the sale of land
that had become immensely valuable as
the city had grown up around them. One
has but to go through them to see that
this is a mistake, and when I told Mr.
Eeinberg of the impression we had, his
answer was characteristic of the man in
frankness. ' ' Twenty years ago I owned
this ground and was in debt $5,000.
Seventeen years ago I built my first
greenhouse with borrowed money and
grew lettuce in it. I have recently
bought forty-five acres two miles from
here so as to get soil in the future." We
were told by another that that crop of
lettuce paid so well that in a few months
Mr. Eeinberg took the money back to his
good friend that had loaned it to build
his first house.

They have over 1,000,000 feet of glass
(nearly as much as all the glass around
Philadelphia) and use over 10,000 tons of
coal per annum under thirty-four steam
boilers. A new block of houses has just
been finished nearly 300 feet square, built
on the ridge and furrow plan, using the
Garland gutter, it being supported on
iron posts about eight feet from the
ground. They have been planted and
everything is promising well. It is a
beautiful house, not a partition of any
kind in it.

We were introduced to Mr. Collins, the
foreman on the place, who has been witli
Mr. Eeinberg since he commenced grow-
ing roses. One of the latter 's strong
points, it is easily to be seen, is to know
a good man and then to keep him.

In the atternoon we went out to West-
ern Springs, where we were served with
a very substantial lunch and were then
treated to a straw ride to Bassett &
Washburn's place at Hinsdale, where
wo saw roses and carnations in such fine
condition that it made at least one east-
ern grower envious. What a magnificent
growth they had! And what quantities
of manure they used! They have a
good soil and brains to use it. But with
all these brains, soil and i
Chicago places owe theii
growth to the railroad facilities that cen-
ter at that place. Their product is
known from Pittsburg on the east to

eled 1,400 miles into the enemy's coun-
try to prove that the best roses were
grown around Philadelphia. He came
home feeling that he was right. If he
ever goes again he will expect to be
licked. Joseph Heacock.

PRESIDENT BREITMEYER.
We note that William Scott was
pleased with the portrait of President
Philip Breitmeyer, of Detroit, which ap-
peared in our Convention Number; not
so the president himself. Not only did
thai portrait show the new executive as
he was in the days which, if they were
nut of the long ago. were certainly seme
years back, but he was there arrayed in
full dress, apparel which should never
be seen before the dinner hour, and Mr.
Breitmeyer observed that so great was
the interest in the Convention Number
and its fresh, clean contents, that not
one subscriber left the wrapper on nis
paper until after dinner; but, quite the
contrary, lost no time in letting the *sun
of morning in upon that portrait of our
president in his evening suit. As we
were partly responsible for this breach

Canada on the north to the Gulf on the
south.

We returned to Chicago much pleased
with our day's outing and regretting
that we had not more days to spend in
the same way, promising ourselves to
take a few days off from our labor and
go again to see more of the great places
around Chicago. The writer once trav-

of the proprieties, in that we did not
give Mr. Breitmeyer 's portrait time to
change its clothes before parading it be-
fore the admiring people that morning
after the convention, we take pleasure in
presenting here a picture which does its
subject better justice.

The Weekly Florists' Review.

CARLSON'S ASTER.

The accompanying illustrations arc
from photographs showing two fields
of Carlson's Improved aster. These
fields are growing northwest of Chicago
and are for E. II. Hunt 's Beed crop. No
blooms are being cut and the plants are
being carefully rogued to eliminate any
not true to type. There is very tittle
disease and no yellows. This variety
originated at Washington Heights, just
outside of Chicago, and was originally
put on the market by the venerable I>.
S. Heffron. It is a vigorous, strong
grower, producing very large flowers on
long stems, and a characteristic is that
very few of the flowers show a yellow
center, which is a quite common fault
this season with many varieties.

CANADIAN FLORISTS' CONVEN-
TION.

President Thos. J
and the associatii
by members fron
bee and a few £
inces. The deleg
the city by Maj
Hubbard, and the reply to the address of
welcome was delivered by Mr. Walsh, of
Montreal, who certainly gave Toronto
great credit for tie- rapid advances she
had made in horticulture.

After these gpening formalities, tin1
president 's address was given.j He dwelt
at some length on the labor question, also
the different experience- by many import-
by the customs officers. In 'his remarks
on the labor question, he said that the
reason that better help can not be se-

in charge by the Steel Briggs Seed Co.,
and entertained at their grounds.

At the afternoon session a paper on
"Floral Art and Value" was given by
II. (I. Dillemuth, manager of Dunlop 's
King street store. In the evening a pa-
per was given by A. Gibb, of Montreal,
on "Public Parks and Squares." B. W.
King, of Toronto, read a paper on
"Greenhouse Construction and Opera-
tion," dealing with heating and ventilat-
ing in a practical way.

E. J. Mepsted gave the association
an invitation to Ottawa for next, year,
which was accepted on motion of Messrs.
Bennett and Bobinson, of Montreal.
Judges were appointed to examine the
trade exhibit and report.

Thursday morning the delegates were
taken in hand by the city council and
after driving around the city, were taken
to High park and entertained to luncheon.
Prom there they went to the trial grounds
of the William Rennie Seed Co. Here
the visitors were photographed. From
there they returned to the exposition
grounds and the concluding session was
held in Directors' hall. Thursday even-
ing a banquet was tendered to the dele-
gates by the Toronto Gardeners' and
Florists ' Association.

At the Thursday afternoon session
much comment was made upon the trade
exhibit and the Toronto delegates re-
ceived some chaff from Hamilton and
other del, 'gates, who considered that the
trade exhibit was not up to the Hamil-
ton exhibit. Especially did the King
Construction Co. and D. J. Sinclair get
the benefit of this, as they put up quite
a large exhibit at Hamilton last year
and were noticeable this year by their
absence.

The election of the officers was held
Thursday evening and results as follows.

cured by the florists is the low wages
being paid to those who are considered
capable men. Mr. Dunlop gave his ex-
e with the late Hardeners' and
Florists' I Inion.

After tin' morning session, which was
coni luded by the secretary's and treasur-
ei - i eports, t he delegates w ere taken

first vice president, Geo. Bobinson, Mon-
treal; second vice president, C. Suckling,
Truro; treasurer, Hermann Simmers,
Toronto ; secretary, A. H. Ewing, Wood-
stock. \V. Gammage, London; J. H.
Dunlop, Toronto, and C. Webster, of
| Hamilton, were elected to the executive
committee. The retiring president, Thos.

Manton, was presented with a beautiful
arm-chair in recognition of his valuable
services to the association during the
past year.

Notes and Comments.
It will be well if Ottawa will take a
practical pointer for next year on the
mistakes that have been made the past
two years in regard to trade exhibits.
Last year the convention met some two
miles from the hall in which the exhibi-
tion was held. This year it was four miles,
and with the program of three sessions a
day, it was impossible for delegates to
visit the trade exhibition for more than
an hour or so during the whole conven-
tion. If Ottawa could make it possible
to hold the convention and trade exhibi-
tion in the same hall many of the large
exhibitors will be inclined to take it up
again. D. J.

We are growing older and wiser, too, it
is to be hoped. Certainly we are grow-
ing in bulk. The sixth annual conven-
tion, just held in Toronto, was decidedly
the most successful in every respect that
has been. (Someone perhaps may tell
you, with the exception of the trade ex-
hibit ; the writer believes, without ex-
ception.) The meetings were well at-
tended, the number of delegates was one-
third larger; the papers were most in-
teresting and instructive; the discussions.
when the boys did get going, were bright
and lively; the president was a general
favorite ; the round of entertainment was
continuous and the utmost sociability and
good will prevailed. What more could
possibly be wanted? The enterprise of
Montreal and Ottawa is especially to be
landed, both cities sending large contin-
gents of "jolly good fellows" and "dais-
ies." Kingston sent a contingent of one,
but he represents his city in a manner en-
titling him to bo called a Timothy Eaton,
chrysanthemum. (The next one sent out,
bigger and better than Timothy Eaton,
should be called Orlando Johnson.) The
champion long distance delegate hailed
from Truro, Nova Scotia. He was re-
warded by being elected second vice
president for the ensuing year. One of
the most pleasing incidents of the con-
vention was the presentation of a roll
top desk to the retiring president, Thos.
Manton. It was the unanimous opinion
of the delegates that he thoroughly de-
served all he got. There are ' ' daisies ' '
and "chrysanthemums" and "jolly good
follows." Tom is all three rolled to-
gether and has a heart as big as a sun-
flower.

Mr. Editor, it is not the intention of
"yours truly" to inflict on your readers
a stilted, conventional report of the pro-
ceedings; perhaps a few short notes will
save time, space and bad language.

Mayor Urquhart charmed the hearts of
everyone in his address of welcome and
also in his speech at the closing banquet.
It is necessary to say "closing" ban-
quet, there were so many of them.

The president's address was as full of
good points as a packet of tacks. Some
of the points are going to stick in, too.

The treasurer reported a considerable
increase in the size of the association 's
bank account.

The paper and practical illustrations
on design work and values by Mr. Dille-
muth revealed the fact that he is a
' ' bird ' ' of the first water.

A good paper may always be expected
of R. W. King, on anything connected
with greenhouse construction. He gave
forty minutes of good, solid, substantial
matter.

The government has got to take tin-
duty off azaleas, and appoint a horticul-
tural expert as appraiser, ' ' and so say
we all of us."

More time is wanted to do business at
the trade exhibit. Certificates and honor-
able mentions should be given to deserv-
ing exhibitors.

The question box was well used. Ot-
tawa next year. E.

CARNATION NOTES-EAST.

Early Blooms.

The early blooming varieties, if housed
in July, will by this time have become
sufficiently established to give fairly
good bloom and stem, making the temp-
tation very strong to allow a crop to
mature, especially at this time, when
carnations are in short supply. If you
are sure of a market at remunerative
prices, it will, perhaps, be good policy
to get into evidence, but do not over-do
the matter, especially with varieties you
know will be in great demand at the
holidays, with prices to correspond.

Pink and white are the colors most
likely to be sought for, and Nelson and
Queen Louise are good ones to depend
upon to furnish these. Crane is the best
scarlet for early, but had best be held
for future high prices. Estelle ought
on no account to be allowed to bloom
early. It is most beautiful in color, but
throws many single flowers if allowed
to bloom before getting exceedingly well
established.

Mrs. Potter Palmer should be handled
with a view to producing a supply at
Christmas and thereafter. It is some-
what impatient of disturbance in lifting
in hot weather, and the blooms being of
very large size it requires a lower tem-
perature than can be had for some time
yet to develop its blooms to perfection.
With all this, it is surprising how well
its color holds under the hot sun of
spring and early summer. We -are grow-
ing it this year in solid beds in a cool
house, and from present appearances, it
will go ahead of last year's fine show-
ing.

Supports.

So much has been written on this mat-
ted, and growers in general being pos-
sessed of inventive brains, I cannot add
much but to advise the use of such as
will not prevent free circulation of air
among the foliage or free access to the
soil for the removal of weeds, applica-
tion of top dressing or liquid food, and
the introduction of water at times when
wetting the foliage is not desirable.

The actual cost of material used in
some systems may be small, while the
labor involved in putting up may over-
balance the total expense incurred by
the use of a method which at first cost
may seem large. Then comes the ques-
tion of how many years the same ma-
terial may be used without additional
outlay. This is our fifth year with the
Model stake, which has given much sat-
isfaction and no repairs have been
needed. Whatever you use the sooner the
supports are put up the better.

Last year I advised the use of aphis
punk for the prevention and destruction
of greenfly, but I find that this handy
and effective insecticide seems to have
gone the way of many other, good ar-
ticles, deteriorated in strength; at least
this was the case with a lot I saw opened

Crop of Carlson's Improved Aster, White, Growing for Seed.

very recently. I am very sorry to make
these remarks, but I feel that I cannot
at present recommend its use. We are
now using tobacco dust, burning it fre-
quently as a preventive, which is far
better than to wait until a cure is needed.
Geo. S. Osbokn.

Seasonable Hints.

Before the opening of the sen-. mi ai
rives, we should have all the arrange
ments made for the successful storagi
and care of the buds between the timi
of cutting and that of dispatching t<
our customers. The care and skill be
stowed on the cut during this period i
iportant factor

of the blooms, ai

^Mr-

far in gaining their good will and
taining their trade.

Arrangements should also be made to
keep a record of all blooms cut duri-
the s.'.-,snn. We start this record-keep-
ing on October 1 and continue up till
Memorial day, which embraces the real
harvest season. By this method we
can, at the end of the season, know defi-
nitely the relative value of each variety
grown, as no amount of guesswork can
in any way give a satisfactory idea of
what has been done. It has frequently
happened in my experience, both with
roses and carnations, that the varieties
which got the most credit from mere
guesswork were not by any means en-
titled to it when the total for the season
was reckoned.

An easy and convenient method of
keeping a true record is to have a sheet
of cardboard tacked up in each house,
with columns for each of the varieties in
the house, and spaced off with lines for
each day of the month. These sheets
can either be filed or the totals copied
into the journal and totaled at the end
of the season. Similar sheets should also
be in use in the sorting room, with col-
umns added to show the numbers of the
different grades.

There are many advantages to be de-
rived from such a system, one of the
most important being" that by a careful
study of the records from day to day

it is a simple matter to find out whether
the crop is on the increase or on the
wane, and to take orders accordingly.
The man in charge of each house or sec-
tion of houses can also at any time find
out just how he stands by comparison
with his neighbor in charge of another
section and naturally tries to emulate his
most successful rival.

Of course, we cannot confine ourselves
to growing only those varieties which are
proved to be the most profitable in our
soils and conditions, as our customers '
wants have also to be considered, but
witli the facts before us when laying
down our future planting plans, while
giving every consideration to the cus-
tomer end of the question, we must have
it so that there will be a generous profit
left for the labor, trouble and anxiety
of the year. Kibes.

"AT BUYER'S RISK."

The following ' ' opinion ' ' should be
of much interest to everyone in the trade
as it was prepared by W. T. Alden, of
the law firm of Alden, Latham & Young.
Chicago, at the solicitation of a whole-
sale florist who iikes to be sure of the
ground upon which he stands. It covers,
in a most explicit way a point which
probably arises more often than any other

of Illinois, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Ne-
braska, Kansas, Missouri, Tennessee,
Kentucky, Indiana, Ohio, Michigan, Mas

there is nothing in the contract of sale
to the contrary, a delivery of goods by

they deteriorate in value while in transit,

FLORAL ART AND VALUES.

The following is a paper by H. G.
Dillemuth, of Toronto, read before the
Canadian Horticultural Association, Sep-
tember 2, 1903:

In the making of vases such as are
used in the stores every day, care should
be taken that the flowers are always
placed so as to make them most present-
able, not only from an artistic, but from
a practical view also. Many of our cus-
tomers shop considerably and they do
not always get the best stock, but that
which has been properly arranged so as
to appeal to them. The goods we handle
are perishable and should be handled ac-
cordingly, which is quite necessary if
flowers are to retain their fresh appear-
ance.

The professional artist is usually a
good colorist, for he will scarcely be
able to reach that position without hav-
ing a good eye for color. This is one
of the main essentials in our business,
for many an otherwise artistic arrange-
ment has been spoiled by colors which
did not harmonize. Another essential is
confidence and the quick grasp of an idea
which a patron will often convey. Try
to keep in harmony with any feasible
suggestion and have confidence enough
in yourself to describe the way in which
details may be carried out. There are
many who remain in the business year
after year, and who are in the best of
positions to learn the technicalities con-
nected with it but who, after years of
struggle, are not much better qualified
than when beginning. Although anyone
with an artistic temperament and some
practice can arrange a design after a
fashion, there are too many who never
take into consideration that an infinitude
of small details always exists.

Design making is probably the most
important part of the retail storeman's
trade, for there is more money made in
this than in any other branch. In plan-

ning or making up a design the artist
should ever keep in mind the effect of
the picture as a whole when viewed from
different points. I have had many op-
portunities of seeing designs made up
by different firms, and have often noticed
that what looked like an artistic piece
of work from a distance, did not appear
so under closer scrutiny. In these days
when galas leaves and hardy ferns are so
cheap there is no reason why standing
designs should be sent out which, when
seen from the opposite side, should con-
front one with patches of moss, tinfoil
and toothpicks all exposed, and not the
faintest pretence made at covering the
back. I have also seen designs that were
filled with moss so water-soaked that
there was a constant drip of water fall-
ing over the sides of the casket and onto
the floor. Although a certain amount
of moisture is required to keep flowers,
yet it is not good to have your designs
in this latter condition. In the arranging
of your designs do not try to use up all
the old available material' in your estab-
lishment ; use two or three kinds of flow-
ers and keep the varieties separate and
a more striking effect will be obtained,
for in grouping your varieties you are
again only copying nature and care
should be taken that all toothpicks and
wire are hidden from view. Avoid over-
crowding; density is not desired. Rather
have your flowers on the spare side and
use plenty of good foliage, the same as
grew with the flowers you are using,
though often some good fern or aspara-
gus adds beauty to the arrangement. So-
ciety emblems, as a rule, are not a credit
to the designer who made them and
many of these designs which are sent
out would be much easier recognized if
a label accompanied them, announcing
what they are. Whatever it is about a
design that is expected to appeal to the
public most forcibly should be arranged
with the details brought out most promi-
nently. The study of ornamental design

trains the eye to recognize and the hand
to execute that beauty of line and pro-
portion necessary in designs of this kind.

Under this same heading of floral art
comes window and store deeorating. How
much better the stores look today with
a few nice baskets or palm leaves dee-
orating the ceiling and walls than they
used to look when covered with a num-
ber of rusty frames of the different de-
signs. The importance of a well dec-
orated store can not be overestimated,
as a particularly well arranged displav
of stock will always attract some atten-
tion and a lasting impression is made
on those a\1io see it. Idle curiosity may
be the feeling with which they view it,
but later on some flowers may be re-
quired and your nicely kept window and
well arranged store will be remembered.

The window display is gradually work-
ing its way to the front and many flor-
ists are today taking advantage of this
method to aid in promoting sales. Many
dollars are expended on worthless adver-
tising in programs, etc., which would be
much better expended on handsome vases
or jardinieres for the window, and if
the possible results are realized you
would not grudingly figure on the ex-
penditure of this money. The chief de-
fect in the decoration of many of the
windows today is overcrowding. A sim-
pler and broader treatment in your dis-
play will give much better results. The
fault of over-decoration comes from
viewing from too close range and not
considering that the public view from
the sidewalk or the other side of the
street.

To decorate the window properly much
depends on the window itself. Width,
height and depth must be taken into
consideration. One pretty effect is tg
take shades of the same color and begin
with the lightest and work back to the
darkest. Large vases or pieces look bet-
ter in the center or background, and
often a vase or large basket of some real
good flower with some nice ferns is
enough for the window. Crape papers
are not as much in demand as
formerly, and though sometimes desir-
able, as a rule have a cheap look. Good,
clean stock, good vases and clean win-
dows are absolutely essential, and it may
be a good plan to try various clerks to see
which can make the best display. Fre-
quent changes are necessary, even though
the next arrangement will not be as good
as the one displaced.

Decorations also demand artistic abil-
ity and some of the commonest forms
such as arches, pillars, scrolls, etc., are
often so badly proportioned as to be
grotesque rather than adding beauty to
the residence or church. Detail is as nec-
essary here as in funeral work, and all
decorations should be carried out with
a view toward lightness instead of try-
ing to get rid of a large quantity of
stock. Harmony of color and concen-
trating your ideas to certain points which
will prove conspicuous will be more ef-
fective than having a few flowers or
plants scattered over a wide space. Try
to have your decorations appear to ad-
vantage when first seen, for it is the
first impression which is usually lasting.

Sometimes a clear space or wall can
be made to look very pretty with fes-
toons of flowers and ribbon, or empire
wreaths. See that all flowers used are
fresh and put as many of the flowers —
possible into vases, for they will retain
their freshness much longer. The most
expensive flowers are not always neces-
sary, for very fine work can be arranged

with wild flowers anil many of the
shrubs and vines which grow on the
usual florists' establishment.

Values usually vary according to the
locality or to the customer. There are
hardly two firms whose system of valuat-
ing is the same, though it is generally
understood that the retailer adds 100
per cent to what the goods cost him. In
some cases this amount is satisfactory
and in others it is too little or too much,
as the case may be. At seasons when
the wholesalers charge their highest
prices there are few stores which get the
recognized 100 per cent. Often on high-
priced stock 50 per cent is sufficient,
while there are, again, times when 400,
500 or even 1,000 per cent are realized
on the cost of the goods. The best value
for flowers is usually derived from
made-up work. By this I mean designs,
bouquets and decorations. Here it is
that the artist has a proper place to dis-
play his talent and the. fewer flowers he
uses in getting the effect desired, helps
to add to the profits.

Where more than one clerk is employed
better satisfaction can be given and bet-
ter prices obtained by having a stated
clerk look after certain patrons who are
accustomed to coming regularly to the
store. The best artist is not always the

best salesman, for he often carries a
look of superiority with him which is
quite necessary when an order is being
given for an elaborate decoration, but
which is often out of place when it
comes down to a mere dozen carnations.
Too many of the smaller retail stores
are run in a haphazard way. There are
many flowers and plants handled in
which there are no profit. You should
know in dollars and cents which of the
specialties are making or losing money.
With this knowledge we would be able
to drop our unprofitable branches.

TROUBLE WITH ROSES.

I see by the Review that all the boys
in the rose line that get into trouble
come to you for advice, so you can add
another victim to the procession. I
took charge of this place on March 24.
My stock was small and weak, yet I
1 1: i \ i • M'en and handled stuff just as poor
before. I planted some in May, then in
June, and some in July, and it has not
behaved at all well. The soil is a good
day loam, with one-fifth cow manure. I
feel it is not the soil to blame, as a
neighbor has good stuff in exactlj the
same soil and same compost. 1 have
six houses 26x125. Four of these are

the continuous house, without walls. In
the north house I have Beauty and
Perie, which have done very nicely, yet
the Beauty is not as strong as might be.
The next two houses are Bride and Maid,
which have not done at all well. They
grow weak and puny, don 't make the
strong healthy wood they should. The
next house is Gate and Ivory, which have
done fairly well. Then comes glass in
that wall south. Then comes a house
with Carnot and Kaiserin, which we call
the summer house. It was planted May
5 and has done splendidly. Everything
was planted out of ' ' threes, ' ' except
Beauty, all or practically so in the same
soil.

Now what I want to know, is it the
fault of the houses, or my fault? I
have had charge and grown roses for the
past twelve or fourteen years, but have
never had such luck before. The houses
have been built three years, good and
clean, and every facility to do good
work. I am the third man in charge, and
my predecessors have had the same ex-
perience. I never had roses in this style

of house before, but have grown g I

carnations in this style. The sixth house
is in Meteor, same soil, but closed like
No. 5, and they have done excellently.
That is what makes me ask if it is the
houses. In your writing you have said,
"A good man will adapt himself to his
houses." Well, I have done everything
I know how, but I cannot start the
Brides and Maids.

If there is anything in the world I
can do to get something out of this stuff.
I wish you would tell me how to go
about it. I know you can tell me if
anybody can. Allow me to take this op-
portunity to thank you for the rose notes
each week in the Review, as I think they
are fine for both the old and young grow-
ers. N. G.

After a careful perusal of this letter,
I cannot find wherein he has gone astray
in his general treatment of his stock,
and as he has been successful using the
same methods in former years, we must
look for some other cause for the failure.
From his description of the houses, they
appear to be in every way suited for
rose growing. I do not think the fault
is there. The soil also appears to be all
right, seeing that his neighbors use the
same kind with success.

Judging from the way the stock be-
haves, the only feasible cause appears to
lie in having used weak and degenerate
stock, and we all know how difficult it is
to get such stock to produce strong, vig-
orous wood in time for fall or early win-
ter cutting.

So long as the foliage retains its color
and freshness, as it appears to do in
this case, the best method of treatment
would be to stimulate root action by ner-
sistent cultivation, using a slight top-
dressing of air-slaked lime before ruf-
fling, alternating this every two weeks
with a light sprinkling of bone, but
never using the two in combination. As
the plants are weakly, it is better not to
attempt any other kind of feeding until
they become stronger.

If the blooms are not required very
badly, it would be advisable to continue
disbudding for some time, but if the
flowers are needed, cut more with a view
to the welfare of the plant than with
the object of securing a long stem. It
would also be well to start night firing,
as the majority of nights are now too
cold to admit of ventilating freely with-

MORE REMINISCENCES.

And everj bright spot vv bicb

e trip to

fuur days

One tiling which impressed us very
much was the cordiality with which we
were met on all sides. Every one seemed
glad to see us. and. like the small boy,
we were glad «<■ had come.

"Ye scribe" enjoyed a trip to the
parks which was not a part of the regu
larly prepared program. We found them
equal to the description given before-
hand, and more, for how can cold type
tell of the beauties of a pansy bed, filled
with hundreds <>f sauc} faces that gaze
into yours, or the brilliant glory of a
bolder .if hardy phloxes?

Our friend from "Posey Kounty" ac-
companied us on the day of the Ladies'
Eide, and told the following doleful
tale while taking in the beauties of Lake
park. It seems that this particular gen-
tleman always i .' ) entries his own drink-
ing cup, and upon leaving one of the
palm gardens, he very carelessly left his
cup at one of the tables. Upon return-
ing for it a few minutes later, he dis-
covered that it was ruined, for as he
told it : "It was full of Schlitz ' ' (slits).
It nearly took a surgical operation to
get the aforesaid into the cranium of a
member from (own.

The day of the shooting tournament
there was one event which was not
given in the returns, and that was the
shooting done by the two school ma'ms
from the west. An empty cartridge box
was badly mutilated, and' both of the la-
dies .allied a i\ ell-marked impression of
Mr. AJ tick's gun for at least two weeks.
Then the trip to Chicago again demon-
strated the thoughtfulness of our hosts
and hostesses. Could anything have been
better planned than the dainty lunches?
The very air was filled with good cheer,
and some were so enthusiastic that they
had to give vent to their feelings by
dancing, even though our friend from
the sunny southland said it was wicked,
simply because he couldn't daiiee.

As a fitting close to the day of pleas-
ure was the dinner at the Auditorium.
And could anything have been prettier
than the dear Scotch song sung by our
favorite orator from Philadelphia? We
surely ought to have more such music,
and we trust that Mr. Craig will be with
us at many more conventions.

The concert must not and will not bo
forgotten. As we wended our way back
to the hotel, the strains of many of the
selections kept repeating themselves
again and again.

Upon our return to Milwauk n Sat-
urday, we could find none of the famil-
iar buttons which had been so numerous
all during the week. When we ten. lied
Chicago on our homeward way, we wen'
accosted by. "There is one of those
buttons now," and were greeted in his

most hearty manner by Mr. Schmeling,
who inquired about Milwaukee as mi-
nutely as though he had been absent a
month.

So it goes. Every day we recall some-
thing that was said or done in Milwau-
kee and the memory of the good time
will linger with us' until we pass the
mile post which shows us the time is
near to go to St. Louis, and then an-
ticipation will be our portion until we
greet old friends and make new acquaint-
ances in the city beside the Father of
Waters. Perle.

THE S. A. F. AT ST. LOUIS.

"At St. Louis next year," said F. \\.
Taylor, chief of horticulture at the
World's Fair, "it should be possible to
more than double the attendance at the
Milwaukee convention, successful as that
meeting was in all its features. It is
understood, of course, that the society
will be invited to hold its business ses-
sions on the exposition grounds, where a
suitable hall for such meetings is now
being built in proximity to the Agricul-
tural and Horticultural buildings. The
use of this hall will be free to the socie-
ty and should the S. A. F. directors and
the St. Louis Florists' Club accept the
offer of the exposition management, pro-
vision will be made for the housing of
the trade exhibition, probably by clear-
ing sufficient space in the Horticultural
building. It should not be difficult to se-
cure a very complete trade exhibition, if
not considerably the largest on record,
for a great variety of the strictly trade
wares will be permanently on display
throughout the fair, and it only remains
to enlist the support of the allied indus-
tries and provide for those enterprising
business getters whose work was the fea-
ture of the Milwaukee show.

• • As to the trade itself, there will be
the largest showing by florists, nursery-
men and seedsmen ever made at any ex-
position. A great deal of stock is al-
ready planted. We are making prepara-
tions for planting very much more, be-
ginning about October 1. and much ten-
der stuff is booked to go in next spring.
Practically every exhibitor who has shown
at previons expositions will be repre-
sented and many more besides. It only
remains for a favorable growing season
to insure a display from which every
member of the trade can gain much that
is valuable as well as much pleasure."

BUTTED GLASS.
From Greenville, Tex., comes the fol-

lowing:

1 Is the leakage greater in

greenhouse where the glass is butted than
in one where it is lapped? Is there any
particular way to butt the glass to pro-
vent leakage .' ' '

I can just imagine the first question be-
ing put to a meeting of the S. A. F. &
O. H. something in this style: "All who
believe there is more leakage in a butted
house than a lapped house will please say

CO. '

A mighty shout would go up.

"Contrary, if any?" And there would
be only half a dozen to say ' ' No ' ' in all
the crowd, but they would be sweet, intel-
ligent voices; conscious that they were
speaking truthfully of what they knew.

The question, as it is put above, would
need a long explanatory answer. It will
entirely depend on the quality of the job
done in both eases. A new house, faith-
fully lapped with the use of putty, should
not 'at first leak a drop. Rut putty will

rot, brads will slip or get loose, and un-
less a thorough painting is annually done
your lapped house will in three or four
years have a good many leaks. If the
glass is butted with the grooved bar and
cap, with no possibility of the bottom
light slipping, and the bars are put on
absolutely square from plate or gutter
and the glass is properly laid, then there
will not be a drop of water in the house
except at the plate or gutter, where it
can be taken care of and will do no
harm.

It is impossible
cut that here and 1
will not be a spac
inch between the

buy glass so truly
I iii the house there
a sixteenth of an
ges when butted.

Water will not drop from these few mis-
tits; it will run to the bottom. Your
butted roof is as tight and sound to-day
as it was ten years ago, and that I have
had occasion to notice very closely within
a few days during the terribly wet spell.
"Charlie", do you see, a drop of water on
your path?" "No, not one." "That's
good, and there's not on my side." T
know, Mr. Editor, you don't want too
long a story on this old question, so I
won't go into the lesser advantages of
the butted system, such as quickness in
laying the glass, no blowing out and lit-
tle breakage, ease in removing or altera-
tions, if necessary. Think what a com-
fort, if overcome with a hail storm, you
could have all the sound lights out in a
few hours and be ready to begin glazing
next day.

As to the last question, there is a par-
ticular way to butt the glass, and it is
the inexperience and failure to persevere
that has led many of our good men to
denounce the system. Briefly, the prin-
cipal rules to follow are: Always let
the thin end of the glass lead up the bar.
There is always a slight bow to all com-
mon glass; let the bow, or convex side, be
up. There must be either a check in the
wood or metal at plate or gutter to pre-
vent the glass from slipping; or if not a
check, then two nails or screws of suffi-
cient strength. If you have to cut a light
to bring in the glass the right length, use
the small light at the plate. Use a,l%-
inch round-headed brass screw and put
them in at every light half way its length.
Screw down moderately firm, but not so
tiiilit as vou would the last resting place
of your mother-in-law. or the light may
crack. Above all, it. is useless to expect

a g I job unless the bars spring from

the plate or gutter at a perfect right
angle, and allow 1-16 of an inch for play
between bars. There are just one or two
dont 's. If you are near a railroad where
the locomotives burn soft coal, or within
the influence of citv smoke, don't butt
the glass, and don't use single thick glass.

TROUBLE WITH PALMS.

the cause and remedy? K. A. W.

This inquiry is so indefinite that it is
a difficult matter to offer a suggestion.

and the conditions under which they are

something upon which to base an opin-
ion. The tips of palm leaves die off

SPIDERS.

Can you tell me how to get rid of
spiders in our greenhouse? They have
very long legs and small bodies and are
harmful to the plants. We should be
very thankful for advice as to how to
dispose of them. E. K.

This must be a different spider from
any we have seen or heard of. E. K.
does not say how they are harmful to the
plants, or what plants suffer, whether
they cut or suck the juices of the plant,
or spin their webs so thickly about the
plants as to prevent growth. The little
red pest we call red spider is, I sup-
pose, a true spider, because he spins a
web, and in syringing the leaves we do
no harm to the spider himself but we
destroy his web and he can't travel with-
out it and so perishes. He is a vegetar-
ian, but all long-legged spiders that we
ever saw are carnivorous. They eat or
suck the juices of flies, wasps, butter-
flies or any insect that is guileless enouch
to ' ' enter my parlor. ' ' Tobacco smoke
has no effect on them. M'e have often,
while watching the fumigating pot, no-
ticed the capers of the spiders whin tin'
smoke rolled their way. They drop down
a few feet, then up again, ami arc quite
busy for a few moments, something as
we are at the commencement of a hail
storm, but after a time they retreat into
the innermost depths of their wonderful
dwelling, shut their eyes and dream of
some good, fat fiy, while we in the hail
storm think of John Esler. The hydro-
cyanic acid gas will kill them, as it
will anything that has lungs. If the
house were empty, strong fumes of sul-
phur would settle them, but no house is
empty just now. Cobwebs in the corner
don 't look very nice, but outside of ap-
pearances I never heard of their doing
any harm.

How many of you have ever read that
delightful little book Flashlights of Na-
ture, by Grant Allen, a man who had the
faculty to notice more of nature 's work
in the fields and woods and in the lowly
things that creep and fly than any natur-
alist, perhaps, of any past century. One
chapter is devoted to the domestic life
and habits of the commonest spider,
name I don 't pretend to remember, but
think it is " Ornithireueum Cannibalen-
sis. ' ' Among other intensely inter-
esting descriptions of forming his web,
etc., Mr. Allen tells us that when Lady
Spider decides to take unto herself a
husband she gives due notice in the
neighborhood, and two suitors promptly
make their appearance, but both at
a respectful distance and at different
angles. After half an hour of close
scrutiny of the charms and other attrac-
tions of the two candidates, her choice
is made, and the rejected one is over-
taken and devoured. The lucky one is
then invited home and housekeeping
commences. After a few days of bliss-
ful honeymoon Mother Spider tires of
hubby, and to save herself a lot of talk
and divorce proceedings, she pounces
on her dear Alphonso and promptly de-
vours him. It is economy in the family
and saves a lot of trouble. I may add
that in the spider world the wife is su-
perior to the husband in size, sagacity,
good looks and utility, and seems to
have much the better time of it in this
world. Many such true stories of flowers
and insects can be found in that wonder-
ful little book, and it is a thousand times
better reading than the latest murder
trial. William Scott.

GREENHOUSE CONSTRUCTION.

The following is a summary of remarks
under this head, by R. W. King, of To-
ronto, before the recent meeting of the
Canadian Horticultural Association:

Outside of the aspect as regards the
sun's rays and the lie of the land for
drainage" purposes, there appear to me
some questions yet to be considered in
chousing a site for greenhouses. Presum-
ing, for instance, that rose-growing is
the purpose of the plant, should the lo-
cation lie high or low? Should the cli-
mate be warm or cold? In fact, loca-
tion generally, and for different purposes,
is a question that I would like to hear
very fully discussed.

I think it would be a good idea to
take a census of all growers, successful
or otherwise, to determine such ques-
tions. For instance, the Dale estate rose
ground is practically table land, having
a cliff on two sides of it, and is consid-
erably elevated above the level of Lake
Ontario. Lawrence, of this city, I think,
will tell you that he had poor success in
growing roses at Mimico, but good suc-
cess when he moved his houses to the very
much higher land of North Toronto. Mr.
Mussen has also had good success at
North Toronto. Mr. Dunlop is at a fair
distance from the damp air of the lake,
and considerably elevated in position. His
prevailing winds blow not from, but to-
wards the lake.

In talking with the late Harry Dale
on the merits of different forms of con-
struction, with a view to selecting a
standard house, he told me what I know
to be true. He had built houses running
north and south; he had built them run-
ning east and west ; he had built them
short-span-to-the-east and short-span-to-
the-west, and he had built them even
span; he had built them divided, and he
had built them under one roof. The sum-
up of his experience as then expressed
was, that he had grown prize flowers in
them all, and to a profit.

In approaching the question of form
for permanent houses on a large scale, I
mentally reasoned as follows: Given an
area of ground suitably located which we
want to cover so we may regulate the
temperature artificially without interfer-
ing with the sun's rays, let us say, for
our argument 's sake, that the roof is one
solid sheet of glass of circular shape, 100
feet in diameter, surrounded by walls
seven feet high. It does not matter how
you face that house; it faces the same
any way you put it, but it does matter
how you plant it. Certain parts will be
shaded by the walls, but make your walls
of glass, and, as far as absence of shade
is concerned, all parts are the same.

Now we will support our roof by posts,
say fifteen feet apart each way. If they
form rows north and south, they will also
form rows half way or diagonally be-
tween either of these two positions. The
shade thrown by these posts will travel
substantially equally over the whole of
the house. 'Following out this argument,
I think you will arrive at the conclusion
that position in regard to sun's rays has
little to do with the form of the house,
the main thing being to give the least
size to all parts of the roof support con-
sistent with safety.

To illustrate the objection to divided
houses from cost of heating standpoint,
we will imagine that roadways are cut
through the circle referred to. Every
roadway necessitates the cost of walls on
either side and subtracts from the grow-
ing space. The walls, even though glazed.

require extra sash and supports, which
add to the shade. To avoid the shade
of wall surface, was the first object aimed
at in raising benches to bring the plants
to the light ; but as soon as you dispense
with your walls this necessity for raised
benches disappears. My own solution of
this question of form of houses is to
keep your blocks square and your roof
supports as few as possible.

There is another question affecting the
block form of building, and that is ven-
tilation. You know the bugbear of the
block system at present is the absence of
opportunity in the center of the block
for side ventilation. It is said this is
not a point in rose growing, but that it
is essential for carnations, although I
have seen excellent carnations growing in
detached houses with no side ventilation,
and I may say that I find it is the grow-
ers advocating this additional ventilation
who are now building very wide houses.
I do not wish to propose a question of
this kind in any partial light, but since
it has become advisable if not impera-
tive for economy in heating, to block
your houses, it is wise to consider first
such improvements in ventilation as will
accord therewith. This I think may be
found in double ventilation, or the plac-
ing of ordinary ventilators on each side
of the ridges.

Another point that might be touched
on is that of drainage. When we come
to build in block, where the rain can-
not get away at the sides of narrow
houses, the disposing of a downfall of
the liquid element becomes a question to
be carefully considered. We do not, in
long runs, " want to make gutters large
enough to carry it off to the ends; and
most of us want to use butted glass,
which has a faculty of leaking badly
when a down]. our of rain fills up the val-
leys beyond the capacity of the gutters
to carry it away.

Where the auxiliary gutters are used
to catch the leakage and drip, being re-
lieved at short intervals so as to empty
into underground drains, we find a dispo-
sition to make these underground drains
too small. Experience seems to dictate
that for a 17-foot house a 2y2-inch tile
may be used for the first 150 feet, a 3-
inc'h for the next 125 feet, and a 4-inch
for the next 125, and 500 feet is as long
as we think it advisable, for several rea-
sons, to run a house on the same grade,
unless specially designed.

TO REMOVE BOILER SCALE.

Kindly let me know what will take the
scale off of boiler tubes and sides. I
bought a second hand boiler and there
is about Yi of an inch of scale all over
the inside. J. R.

There are many preparations sold for
this purpose, but the best I have found
is a careful application of hammer, chisel
and scraper. Henry W. Gibbons.

ABUTILON.

A subscriber sends a leaf of Abutilon
vexillarium and says: "I enclose a leaf

of abutilon maple. It grows about eight-
een inches high and compact. Give me
the name of it and tell me where to get

Instead of a compact grower 1 should
call it a spreading or almost creeping
plant. The pretty orange and green vari-

agation of the foliage made it quite a
favorite some years ago. I have seen-ft
used in tlewer gardening with good effect
and we still use it largely in veranda
boxes and vases. You can buy it of any
catalogue house in the business. Perhaps
a neighbor has some. If so, get some cut-
tings about the middle of September.
Take only the tender tops of the shoots,
put them in the sand and keep wet. They
don't root in the fall as easily as ager-
atums, but they root.

LONGIFLORUMS FOR SUMMER.

I can use some longiflorum lilies during
June and July. Do I have to get them
from cold storage, or can I get bulbs
late this fall, pot them up, keep them
outside in a frame on the north side of
the greenhouses and take inside about
March 1? P. O.

If you took them into the greenhouse
by March 1, they would be in flower by
the end of May. The best you could
do by keeping them in a cold frame all
winter (and that's risky in pots) would
be to have them in flower by the end of
June, their natural flowering season. It
is much better to buy them from a firm
that makes a business of keeping them in
cold storage, and for July and later this
is all you could do. Leave the retarding
to the specialist who has the correct meth-
ods of doing it, and you will save money
and much labor.

DETROIT.

President Gets a Watch.

A most pleasant event occurred on
Thursday evening, September 3, when the
newly elected president of the S. A. F.
was decoyed into taking an auto ride to
the Rusch House at Grosse Pointe, where
he found about forty of his florist friends
in waiting and a table spread with g'^d
things to eat, the decorations consist-
ing entirely of newly cut grass, with
which the table was covered. After en-
joying the ' ' feed ' ' and something to
wash it down, Mr. Breitmeyer was pre-
sented with an elegant gold watch to re-
place the one stolen at Milwaukee. He
was completely surprised, but rallied as
only a Detroit man can and made a verv
good speech. George Reynolds then took
hold as toastmaster and called on C. W.
Ward and F. W. Creighton, who were
visitors, and Rev. Collins, J. P. Sullivan,
R. Plowerday, F. H. Beard and others,
of Detroit, who all helped to make the
occasion one long to be remembered. "

Since the meeting of the directors of
the American Carnation Society at Mil-
waukee the premium lists for the March
meeting have been increased by the ad-
dition of three $25 cups, donated by the
Foley Manufacturing Co., of Chicago,
one of which Mr. Foley wish..] t<> give
to the Michigan grower who will ex-
hibit the best vase of his own seedlings

The other two will be placed later. Now
we may expect some fine seedlings from
(fraud Rapids. Saginaw, Mt. Clemens
and other towns in Michigan. Rag.

NEW YORK.

The Market.

Sir Thomas failed to lift the cup and
the festivities which have attended his
entertainment, the opening of the schools
and the theatrical first nights have so
far failed to lift the market. Still a
slight improvement is already discernible
and every day draws us nearer to the
change in the tide. It will all be sun-
shine soon, and the long experience of
' ' low water ' ' will be forgotten. As was
to be expected, the warm spell put a
quietus on the violet's prematureness,
and it is well. No one wants to wear
violets before October.

These are anxious days for the Broad-
way florists. The Rapid Transit people
want to open the street from Fourteenth
to Forty-second, and a protest that can
be heard from Harlem to the Battery has
already reached the powers that be.
Should the great thoroughfare be torn
up again, it would completely paralyze
that section of the florist business and
entail losses that with many would be
ruinous. The latest scheme is to work
only at night and board over the exposed
section by day, a compromise that does
not meet with much approval. Mean-
time the trade is hoping for the best
and making its window decorations the
finest in the world, a reputation which
floriculture on Broadway has long en-
joyed, and deservedly.

Various Notes.

On September 3 'the most gorgeous
wedding of the year, the Thayer-Brooks,
took place at Newport. Over 3,000 in-
vitations were given. The floral decora-
tions at the church and home were very
elaborate, and the wedding breakfast had
over a thousand guests. The steamboat
companies ran excursions for sight-seers
and altogether it was a strenuous time.
Carte blanche, as is often the case with
the "600," was the florist's order, a
commission that makes the remainder of
the society season ' ' velvet. ' '

The renovating, enlarging and painting
of the wholesale stores continues. Geo.
Saltford now has one of the largest and
most convenient places on the street. The
store is double its former size and is
very neatly arranged and decorated. His
early experiences in the violet business
have borne much fruit. From being a
pioneer in Duchess county he now finds
over seventy growers of the favorite flow-
ers. He predicts an enormous output
for the season. He has returned, fully
recovered from his recent illness, and
ready for the enlarged trade for which
he has prepared.

Fred Atkins and wife have returned
from Europe, after a very successful and
pleasant journey. Now look out for
agricultural and horticultural novelties
and plenty of them.

Patrick O'Mara's indisposition at Mil-
waukee was short lived, though sufficient
to prevent his enjo3'ment of the boat
ride and the Chicago convention festivi-
ties, much to his regret. He feels that
the O. H. section of the society deserves
respectful recognition and predicts the
election of Prof. Cowell in 1904. Mean-
time he agrees with all of us that Presi-
dent Breitmeyer is the right man in the
right place.

W. J. Elliott has returned from North-
port, L. I., where shooting, yachting, fish-
ing and automobiling combined to make
his holiday a healthful one. Next Tues-
day begin the auctions, and with no on-
position the field should prove remunera-
tive.

Emil Schloss has returned from the
west, having called at all the large cities
on his way home from the convention.

The firm of Holton & Hunkel, of Mil-
waukee, was fortunate in securing the
entire exhibit of Reed & Keller at the
convention.

L. J. Kreshover and wife are enjoying
their final outing this week at Atlantic
City.

Scallen's new store on Broadway is
now occupied by the firm, and on the ex-
act site where the old establishment ex-
isted for so many years. It is a hand-
some and commodious spot.

George W. Crawbuck, of Hicks &
Crawbuck, is at Chatham, N. J., with his
family, and Mr. Hicks, of the same firm,
returns the last of the month from his
summer home at Wantaugh, L. I.

J. W. Bebus, with W. J. Elliott & Sons,
and a son of the late Jacob L. Bebus,
one of New York's pioneer florists, has
returned from his summer outing at
Alexandria Bay.

C. \V. Ward is on a western trip. His
article on the peony in the September
number of Floral Life is a most inter-
esting one, splendidly illustrated, and oc-
cupies the place of honor in the issue.

Sigmund Geller has rented a large
storehouse, 15S-160 West Twenty-seventh
street, for the convenience of his over-
flow, and his facilities for his increasing
trade are thus largely provided for.

Values are rising in real estate in the
vicinity of the wholesale district, Twen-
ty-sixth to Thirtieth streets, on account
of the projected building of the new
Pennsylvania depot.

Tuesday of this week Charles L. Al-
len, of Floral Park, gave his lecture on
' ' The Inner Life of Plants, or the Soul
of Nature," at the exhibition of the
Lenox, Mass., Horticultural Society.

HARTFORD, CONN.
The florists' clubs of Hartford, Bridge-
port and New Haven held a meeting and
outing August 27, at Lake Compounce.
About forty members from the three cit-
ies were present. The morning was oc-
cupied with social intercourse. After
dinner there was speaking by members of
the club, the toastmaster being A. C.
Sternberg, of West Hartford. He made
a short speech, after which Theodore
Wirth, president of the Hartford Flor-
ists' Club, made a few remarks. He was
followed by G. X. Amrhyn, president of
the New Haven club. The other speak-
ers were C. E. Keith, president of the
Bridgeport club, J. A. Thomson, of
WeM Hartford, W. E. Reck, of Bridge-
port, 11. E. Ferrier, of New Haven and
o* President McRonald, of the Hartford
eluli. After the speeehmnking the mem-
bers went to the bowling alley and rolled
tenpins for a handsome loving cup.

Various Notes.

S. S. Skidelsky, of Philadelphia, was
in town last week, selling almost every-
thing a florist uses.

Some of that 3,000 pounds of happi-
ness which our friend, J. Austin Shaw,
referred to in last week's issue, was
with us last week in the shape of Arnold
Eingier. who looks after the interests of
W. W. Barnard & Co., of Chicago.
Arnold left for the south Sunday night.

John Young and family returned Sat-
urday from a four weeks' stay at At-
lantic City, X. J. This much needed rest
did John a great deal of good, and he
is ready for a big season's business.

J. L. Irwin, who has charge of the
Philippine Island exhibit at the World's
Fair, is in town with 3,000 orchid plants
and some 200 palms. Mr. Irwin is look-
ing for a suitable place here to house
the plants during the winter.

The Michel Plant and Bulb Co., Septem-
ber 8, held an auction sale of surplus
stock, consisting of ferns, begonias and
pot roses.

A visit to the Missouri Botanical Gar-
den last week found Prof. William Tre-

lease returned from his vacation trip and
looking ever a stack of correspondence
which accumulated during his absence.
When informed by your correspondent
that the S. A. F. would meet with us
ii, ,i ii :n- the professor was very much
pleased and said he and the directors of
the garden would do all in their pow<"
to help entertain the visitors during their
stay. Everybody was busy in the garden
shaping up "things to receive the big Sun-
day crowd, the second of this year.

A visit was also paid to Tower Grove
park, adjoining the garden, and found
our dear old friend, James Gurney, and
his head gardener, Phil Goebel, at the lily

I Is. Both were very much pleased

that the convention will be held here
next year. Mr. Gurney, especially, is de-
lighted with the prospect of seeing many
nl Ins old friends who are members of
the S. A. F. The large houses in the
park are being put in shape to receive all
the outdoor plants of this beautiful park,
and, as Mr. Goebel says, there is plenty
of work ahead from now until frost sets
in.

Some of the flower beds and young
trees in City Hall park are in very bad
condition at the present time, and should
be looked after. The park commissioner
or his superintendent should place com-
petent men in charge. Experience and
not politics should be put in force in
the park department. The great con-
course of people that the World's Fair
wili attract next year, together with the
visit of the Society of American Flor-
ists, should see the parks in the best
possible shape. It's up to Park Com-
missioner Aull and his superintendent,
Andrew Meyer, Jr., to make a reputation
as to their ability to handle the great
parks of our city.

The second open Sunday of this year
at Shaw 's Garden took place September
0. The day was most beautiful, and
some 20,000 persons visited the garden
during the day. Everything about the
garden looks fine and is in apple-pie or-
der.

Business is better but cannot be printed
in large capitals just yet. Good material
is not so plentiful and these two condi-
tions affect prices a bit, but not too
heavily. Roses continue much too plenti-
ful, but carnations are really quite
scarce. Very few first class asters are
seen, but bushels of poor ones.

Edward O'Brien, the Cambridgeport
florist, died very suddenly last week. He
was t.eling as usual and arose at the or-
dinary hour that morning, but was found
dead ' in the bath room a few minutes
later.

As a result of the tearing down of a

Has Elliott's invincible ball team met
a Waterloo? G. W. Hilliard 's men at
Exeter, N. H., have been developing
much muscle in the erection of a new
greenhouse, much agility in cftmteing .rose
bushes to clip off superfluous buds and
much endurance waiting for a rise in
fall business. So they went over to Mad-
bury a week or so ago and rubbed the
baseball situation there right into the
mud to the tune of 14 to 2.

The Market.
The past week was one of considerable

activity for this time of year. All of the
retail florists are busy with large funeral
orders. There is a good deal more of
first-class stock on the market, the few
cool days of last week working wonders,
especially with roses. Outdoor stock is
in a bad way now, first from lack of
rain, and second, the aster bug has de-
scended upon many promising fields. In
several cases the asters were a total loss.
Home-grown gladioli are poor, owing to
the lack of water. The northern asters
and gladioli are now in their prime.
Some Al stock is being handled by the
wholesale houses, and prices are good.
At the present time the market is well
cleaned up of all grades of asters, and
more could be used to advantage.

Carnations continue scarce. Those
from indoors are improving rapidly and
what few are to be had sell readily. Wm.
Rodgers is cutting some fine Flora Hill
from old plants, also some Seotts almost
as good as those cut in winter. Roses
are still in large supply, especially short-
stemmed roses. American Beauties are
the best thing the market affords, good
color and substance, stems ranging from
six to thirty inches. They sell at $1 a
foot per dozen, and more could easily be
disposed of.

Various Notes.

Allen Drake is receiving the congratu-
lations of his many friends. It's a boy.
and I must not fail to add that Grandpa
is also doing nicely.

Not all florists are machinists, but if
you want a job with Fred Gear you must
be one. Last week he made a floral ma-
chine planer. It was full-size and when
you take into consideration the uirticultv
"of such a job it was a very creditable
piece of work.

The Market

Trade conditions are somewhat quiet.
Socially tbere is nothing doing, but a.
few prominent funerals the last week
cleaned up a little stock in light colors.
Shipping trade is also very light. There
is a large supply in the market of nearly
all seasonable flowers. Eoses are more
plentiful at this time than in previous
seasons. Carnations are about equal to
demand, but the quality is poor. Asters
are coming in freely and of good qual-
ity, although many growers are com-
plaining of the continued wet weather
'lamping them off. It has been a bad
season for sweet peas and there were
practically none in the market the entire
season. Gladioli are plentiful, but there
is little call for them.

Various Notes.

Most of the growers are busy housing
carnations and making general repairs1
for winter. There will be quite an in-
crease in the supply of carnations the
coming season. Some growers have built
new additions and many have discarded
certain sorts and are growing more heav-
ily of the best commercial varieties.

The violet crop looks better than it has
for several seasons. Otto Sylvester,
August Schueneman, Robert Zepnick,
Loeffler Bros., and Otto Eggebrecht, who
are the principal growers of violets for
this market, have each benched a fine
looking lot of plants and all appear to be
free from disease.

The cut of chrj-santhemums will also
be equal to, if not larger than that of
former years. Nic Zweifel is growing a
fine lot of single-stem blooms. C. Johan-
sen will also cut a quantity of them.
Currie Bros, have several houses of thenf.
Mrs. A. Middlemass and William Edlef-
sen have each benched a fine lot of Glory
of Pacific. Eaton, Yellow Eaton, Ivory
and Bonnaffon.

H. C. Kruseberg and wife and Mrs.
William Edlefsen have returned from a
trip to Europe. They spent two months
visiting the principal points of interest
on that continent. Mr. Kruseberg, who
is the son-in-law of Mr. Edlefsen, has
interested himself in his establishment
and will assume charge of the down-town
store. Mr. Edlefsen will look after fhe
greenhouse. He has purchased the prop-

erty on which the store is located and
will remodel the latter, making it one
of the finest retail establishments in the
northwest.

C. Johansen has completed one new
house; C. Burmeister has added one
house; Heitman & Baerman, three houses
for carnations; H. Schwebke, one house
for roses; Chas. Kitzerow and F. Kaiser,
one house each for miscellaneous stock;
C. C. Pollworth Co., three large rose
houses and two carnation houses, and are
installing two immense boilers for the
heating of their entire plant.
Convention Topics.

Most of the crotons and the large ken-
tias and Piersoni exhibited by Craig,
Dreer and F. E. Pierson, which were
purchased by the C. C. Pollworth Co.,
have been sold. Otto Speidel, with Mrs.
P. A. Valentine, of Oconomowoc, was a
large purchaser. The huge goat has been
loaned out to exhibit at a state fair. The
special rate of one fare and a fifth,
granted to C. C. Pollworth Co., as mem-
bers of the Manufacturers' Association,
attracted many visitors. Membership
cards were sent *o several hundred in
the trade throughout the west and it was
quite a saving to the craft. The Denver
delegation alone, which came on these
tickets saved about $50. About 250
members from western points took ad-
vantage of this rate.

H. V. Hunkel, secretary of the Mil-
waukee Florists' Club, is distributing the
remainder of the souvenir books to mem-
bers who joined the society while here.
About 200 members were taken in. n
pretty good showing for this convention.

ing orders for the convention photogranh,

Business is still almost at a standstill,
a. small wedding decoration now and
'then and an occasional funeral order.
The number of deaths during the month
of August just past was only thirty-
five and for the same month for 1902,
sixty-three deaths were reported. The
rate this season has been remarkably
low, considering a population of 103,000.

During the theater season of 1902-3 the
demand for flowers for theater use and

florists. A few years ago there were
a great many flowers worn on such oc-

in other places? What can we do to
revive itf

According to a recent issue of the

to be a meeting of committees of the

( iliine and to take drastic action to

stop the government free s 1 distribu-

tion. These propositions are not new i<,
the majority of the seed trade. Consid-
erable space in different periodicals has

Xo official notice of any meeting ■"
committees has been received as yet. 1ml
the paper referred to gives Albert Mc-
Cullough credit for the information it
hands out; consequently there may be
something in it. The trouble heretofore
has been the lack of sympathy between
the different sections when anything hear
ing upon these matters has been dis-
cussed. A close approach to consolida-
tion of interests was knocked some time
back by lack of unanimity, petty ani-
mosities seeming to lie a stronger factor
than good business sense. It is to l -
hoped that if there is anything Qew on
foot in relation to these important mat-
ters a. whole-hearted effort may be put
forth.

CLEVELAND.

The Market.

The cut flowers coming to the Cleve-
land market show a decided improve-
ment, both in quantity aand quality, and
the demand has kept pace with the sup-
ply. Prices are still cm a Bummer basis,
and with but small show of a rise this
month. Outdoor carnation blooms are
coming in quite freely, but it is a little
too early for our growers to be cutting
from inside, as we do not seem to get
our stock planted quite as early as some
of the other growers.

Roses cut from the young plants show
very good flowers, but most of themare
still short of stem. Isaac- Kennedy is
sending in some very nice Maids and
Brides to the F. E. Williams Co. Out-
door asters are a thing of the past, but
those planted inside are ready to cut,
and some very fine ones are being han-
dled by the J. M. Gasser Co.

Notes.

Many of the florists around Cleveland
are laying in a stock of coal at the pres-
ent time, in order not to be placed in
the position so many occupied last year.
and some yards around the boiler rooms
look like coal mines. Graham, Bate
Bros., the F. B. Williams Co., J. W.
Wilson, Kennedy, and the Gasser Co.
are all well stocked with good fuel.

Mr. Jones, of the J. M. Gasser Co.,
spent five short weeks on his vacation,
part of the time being spent on a trip
to the Soo and the balance in the east.
The fact that the weeks were short,
proves that Mr. Jones enjoyed himself.

RuFrALO, N. Y.— At the opening of the
Kenilworth races J. H. Rebstock had as
a window decoration a large floral horse.
The body was made of white asters, the
hoofs of violet asters, the mane and tail
of asparagus and the eyes of chenille.

The Weekly Florists' Review*

The Market
Trade experienced a little dullness the
past week, which was probably due to
our state fair taking the attention of
people to the exclusion of everything
else. Stock is more plentiful First-
class roses are scarce but there is an
abundance of short stemmed stock. A
few carnations are being cut, but not
enough for the demand. Asters are be-
coming scarce, and at best are but poor.

Various Notes.

At the State Fair this week the Minne-
apolis brethren were the only competitors,
Monson, Nagel, Mendenhall and Vasatka
taking the majority of the premiums.

At the recent fall opening of Donald-
son's Glass Block, in Minneapolis, the
floral decorations were most elaborate
and very tastily arranged by Mr. Souden.
Hydrangea paniculata, Golden Glow,
gladioli and dahlias were employed "i
groups and masses with charming effect.

Minn.; Mrs. E. O. Lovell, Grand Forks,
N. D.; W. A. Bastian, with G. M. Kel-
logg, Pleasant Hill, Mo., and E. A. Ton-
quest, with Miss M. Dailey, Kansas Citv,

BRICK BENCHES.
How do you fix the bottom of benches
lined with brick. What do the bricks
rest upon? How many bricks will be
required for two benches each 7x50
feet! K. A. W.

For benches of ordinary width l%x
l^x1^, or 2x2x%-inch tee irons make
good supports for brick bottom, the tees
being laid with the leg of the tee point-
ing upwards. The average size of brick,
assuming that common building bricks
are referred to, is about 4x8 inches, thus
about 1,575 bricks would be needed for
a bench 7x50 feet.

PIPING AND GLAZING.

I am building a house 15x60 to raise
beddiug stock and want to pipe it so thai
it can go several hours without attention.
1 intend to use overhead flows, with the
returns under the benches. I have a
hot water boiler rated at 3,000 feel of
glass. Which will give me better satis-
faction, 4-inch pipe or 2-inch? Will the
large boiler be all right or had I better
get a smaller one.' Which would you
advise, lapped or butted glass?

C. C. G.

I would give a decided preference for
2-ineh pipes for the circulating coils, ten
lines being required for the house fifteen
feet wide, with glass on the roof only.
The large boiler may be used, as with
reasonable eare it will prove economical
in fuel, and no blowing out of the water
need take place. Lapped glass will give
the tightest and best roof.

Henry W. Gibbons.

PIPING A HOUSE.

How much 2-inch pipe will it take to
pipe a greenhouse 21x60, twelve feet to
ridge, glazed on one end and side ven-
tilators? The hot water boiler is at
the west end of the house. Wish a tem-
perature of 55 to 60 degrees when it is
20 below outside. H. M. B.

Sixteen lines of 2-inch pipe will secure
the results sought. The distribution of
the pipes within the house will depend
upon the depth of the boiler pit and the
arrangement of the benches.

Henry W. Gibbons.

AMOUNT OF RADIATION.

How much 2-inch pipe will be required
to heat a house 23x100, three-quarter
span, five-foot walls, glass in both ends
and ventilators at ridge and on south
side? When the thermometer is down to
10 degrees below zero outdoors, 60 de-
grees is required inside. M. D.

Sixteen lines of 2-inch pipe will main-
tain the required temperature with hot
water. Henry W. Gibbons.

MISCELLANEOUS
SEASONABLE HINTS.

Beware of Early Frosts.
Already there are rumors of frost in
tlir northwest and we must expect it to
travel eastward. While our seacoast
cities on the east and south may, and
more often do, escape all frost until
early November, we in northwestern
New York rarely escape a frost at the
end of September or in the early days
of October. And I have known, in this
little village from which I am writing,
a killing frost on September 19, and the
remembrance of all this tells us to be
prepared.

There is nothing gained, in fact, a big
risk is run, by resting easy and leaving
tender plants out of doors until you feel
the cold spell coming, for then they are
hustled indoors in great confusion.
Azaleas, acacias, metrosideros and any
of those hard-wooded plants that ynu
summered over out of doors should be
in by September 25. There is nothing
gained by leaving them out. That use-
ful plant, the sweet stevia. should be
lifted at once and potted firmly and
stood in the shade out of doors. It is
most valuable at Christmas and therefore
should be kept outside as long as pos-
sible, yel it does no1 want a single de-
gree of frost and indoors thrives in 40
I degrees at night. A few plants of the

best kinds of acalypha should be lifted
and put under -lass. They lift well
. and some of them may 1"' use
ful for decorating, and after the holi-
days they can be cut down and will give
you cuttings of the right kind. It
should not be necessary to say that a
few plants of such things as ageratmn.
feverfew, lobelia, and any plant that
you can increase rapidly during winter
and spring, should be potted and taken
care of. A few old plants of these are
far better than propagating just now.
Salvia splendens and its improved dwarf
varieties make a splendid show if lifted.
and the flowers are often found very
useful after frost has cut off everything
outside, and the cut-back plants give you
the best cuttings.

The hydrangeas are best outside for
some time yet, as a few degrees of frost
does not hurt them. It ripens the wood
and prepares them better for forcing.
In mentioning a few degrees o^ frost
it is well to remember that the effect
of, say three degrees of frost depei i al
together on the previous weather. If
we have had a few nights down almost
to freezing, the plant is able to endure
two or three degrees when it does come;
but if there has been no night lower
than, say. 45 degrees, and it has been
moist and the plants are still growing,
then a sudden freeze is most disastrous.
I have seen just such conditions prevail
and have suffered by being "off my
guard. ' '

Propagation.

Perhaps some people still propagate
verbenas and petunias in the fall. Of
course, it is the only way to perpetuate
named varieties of these pretty bedding
plants: yet I do not think it worth do-
ing. You can buy seed of verbenas
equal to any named varieties, save room
and labor and have much healthier
plants; and the same with petunias.

I told you in the spring to pot up a
few plants of lemon verbenas, lantanas
and heliotropes and plunge them outside
in a frame. Hope you have done so,
fur they neither propagate nor lift at all
satisfactorily from plants that have been
in the ground. A partial rest, when
brought in, of a month or two, and then
a shortening back of the wood will give
you cuttings that will easily root, of
both the lemon verbena and the lantana.
The heliotrope must be kept shifted and
growing or it will get rusty.

Li'ies for Early Forcing.

We put our earliest arrival of Ber-
muda lilies in a frame this year and cov-
ered with two inches of loose, decayed
manure, just to keep them from drying
out every day. They don't all start at
once, but as fast as the growth is up
through the manure the latter is shaken
off, and the plants brought into a bright.

warm bench. The man who grows for
retail does not want them all in at once.
A hundred or so, which were brought in
two weeks ago and will be kept at (!0
or 65 degrees when firing is necessary,
should be in flower by the middle of No-
vember. As fast as you can select a
hundred that are well started bring
them in at intervals of two weeks. The
common greenfly is their greatest enemy
and they get so deep down into the
crown of leaves that it is difficult to
fumigate enough to kill them. So a
\< i . . • ik s,,]ntion of some nicotine
preparation must be applied to keep
down the aphis.

The Dutch Bulbs.
The tulips will soon be arriving, and
if you want very early flowers you must
get some into flats as soon as you re-
ceive them. A small proportion of your
import order will do. The bulk can
wait for a month. No better place can
be found for the flats than out of doors,
covered with three or four inches of soil.
I shall have more to say about these
bulbs later on, but will just say now
that as soon as put in the flats they
must be well soaked, and unless the
weather is unusually wet. the soil that
covers the flats must be soaked once a
week. If the soil in the flats be allowed
to remain dry, little root growth is be-
ing made, and without roots you can't
force. "William Scott.

NEW YORK'S GREAT HALL.

The Chrysanthemum Society of Amer-
ica will have the finest exhibition hall in
the United States at its disposal for its
second annual show, to be held at New
York, November 10 to 12 in co-operation
with the American Institute. Arrange-
ments have been made for the use of
Herald Square Exhibition Hall, on the
ninth floor of the magnificent new Macv
building, Broadway and Thirty-fourth
street, where there are nearly 70,000
square feet of space on one level floor,
arched by a beautiful dome of glass.
The location is one of the very best in
the city, as all lines of transportation
converge at this point, and the hall, spe-
cially built for this class of exhibitions,
is reached by a splendid battery of a
dozen express elevators. For the handling
of exhibits there are two immense freight
elevators, each built to carry a loaded
truck and team.

The premium list for the exhibition in-
sures a good display, for the prizes are

Herald Square Exhibition Hall, New York, where the American Chrysanthemum Society's Fall Show will be held.

liberal and much interest is manifest.
President Arthur Herrington is vising his
best endeavors to forward the prepara-
tions. He has secured the co-operation
of many of the horticultural societies in
the east and this will go far toward get-
ting together the great amount of choice
material necessary to fill so vast an area.

ROSES.

Seasonable Hints.

Roses which were planted during June
should now, if they have been properly
handled, require their first mulch. The

£ liny roots should now be so close to

the surface that stirring the surface will
do Hi. in an injury. To receive full and
immediate benefit from the mulch it
should be made fine by passing it through
a :;,-inch screen. In this form it is more
easily assimilated, and does not require
so much material to cover the surface as
if used in a rough state.

One-half inch in depth is quite suffix
cient at this season if the material is

rich enough, as it is better to apply light-
ly and frequently than to run any risk
of souring the soil by putting it on too
thick.

As the season advances and the de-
man. I for Beauty buds increases there is
"it present the desire to cut with as
long stems as possible and a warning to
young growers against this practice is
seasonable. Cutting too close denudes
the plant of too much foliage, bringing
about a check to root action which causes
them to assume a hard and stunted form
which they usually retain till spring
growth commences.

WAn cutting Meteors and Kaiseriu
it is advisable to leave at least three or
four fully (level, .pcd buds on the strong-
er stems, thus assuring a plentiful sun-
pl.v of foliage to keep the roots in activ-
ity and lessen the tendency to take ad-
vantage of a winter's rest. To get an
early supply of long stems on Golden
Gate and Ivory a constant supply of
fresh food in the form of mulch will be
necessary until it is safe to apply liquid
f00d. RlBES.

CARNATION NOTES— WEST.

Seasonable Treatment.

After you have your carnation plants
started to growing in good shape, the
supports in place and, of course, the beds
cleared of all weeds and dead foliage,
and a mulch spread on, there is not a
great deal to do until the next support
is needed and disbudding begins. As I
have said before, we allow some of the
stronger plants to bloom soon after they
are established, only pinching those
plants that are a trifle undersized. Of
course we do not allow all the varieties
to come into bloom so early, as many
sorts will produce only worthless blooms
while the weather is very warm. Flora
Hill and Crocker and, in fact, all the
good summer bloomers, will do all right,
but most of the reds, Mrs. Lawson while
the stem is short, and many others, had
better be kept from blooming for a few
weeks yet.

We do not top the shoots so young
after the plants are housed as we do
out in the field. The growth is naturallv
softer and if you top the young soft
shoots the beaks are apt to come weak.
We allow them to form the bud and grow
until the bud is half grown before ton-
ping. By that time the side shoots usu-
ally have started of their own accord and
they come away strong. Take the shoot
off well down toward the body of the
plant, especially if the variety does not
naturally grow bushy. Always aim to
keep the body of the plant compact,
whether you merely top to prevent
blooming, or when you are cutting the
blooms later on. Allowing the buds to re-
main on the plant so long also gives you
a chance to let them come into bloom
quickly, if the w^eather should turn cool
or the market demand the blooms. Don 't
forget that following the first killing

(rests and up to the chrysanthemum sea-
son there is always a good demand for
carnation blooms, especially white ones.
Be ready to supply that demand when it
comes.

This is a good time to begin preparing
your carnation soil for next season. Car-
nations like a well composted soil. As
has been said before in these notes, the
best way, if you have your own ground
and teams, is to select a niece of good
heavy sod and plow it up to a depth of
six inches, leaving it over winter in a
rough state, just as it was plowed. To-
ward spring, while it is frozen on top
enough to hold up a wagon, haul on it a
covering of two inches of good manure.
Cow manure if you can get it. otherwise
use stable manure with straw bedding.
If the soil is quite heavy, I would prefer
the latter, but ordinarily I prefer the
cow manure. Early next spring this
should be hauled into a pile where it
will be convenient to the houses when you
want to refill them.

Many growers, however, have to de-
pend on getting their supply of soil from
whatever source they can, very often tak-
ing the top soil from a new street that
is being opened up. In such cases you
are obliged to pile it up, and I don't
know but what it is just about as good
as the former. Dump a layer of soil
about eighteen inches deep and spread
four inches of manure over it, after
which alternate with layers of soil twelve
inches deep and manure in layers three
inches deep. Allow this pile to lie until
earlj spring, when it should be turned
over and mixed and again a few weeks be-
fore you begin to use ii.

Now about the old soil you took out
of your houses. There are many growers
who raise nearly all cut flowers and the
disposition of the old soil is almost as
vexations as securing the new. Those
who raise bedding and a general assort-
ment of pot plants can use much of this
soil, but the cut flower specialist can 't
do that. If you have an empty lot where

you can spread it out to a depth of
about one foot you can get this soil back
into a usable condition in about three
years' time, and with not very much
work. ()1 course you did not mix the
old plants in with the soil. We alwavs
take them out first and burn them, to
destroy any red spider, thrips or disease
with which they may be afflicted. After
spreading out the soil sprinkle well with
slaked lime or wood ashes and sow down
in rye and leave until spring, when I
will have more to say about it, I hope.

PRICE FOR CARNATION CROP.

Several readers having inquired as to
equitable terms for a season's contract
for a crop of carnation blooms, one of the
large growers shipping from Chicago
gives us the following ou the subject:

We have often been asked to set a
price on carnation blooms for the entire
season. Seven or eight years ago the
writer did make contracts which he lived
up to, furnishing blooms during Decem-
ber, January and February at only half
the price they would have brought had
they not been contracted for, and as
soon as the spring glut came on t'><-
other parties of the contract commenced
to find fault with every shipment,
wrangled that they were getting the
worst of it, and eventually threw 111.
their hands and refused to pay the
agreed price, thereby breaking the con
tract and teaching us a lesson we shall
not soon forget. If we thoroughly knew
our man, however, we would be willing
to furnish first-class blooms of the fol
lowing varieties for the entire season,
commencing October 1 to July 1, at.
these prices:

Per 100. Per 100.

Prosperity $4. .".ft En. -huntress $4.50

Apollo 3.0ft Est. He 2.75

Qii i I... ulse .... 2.25 N.h-m-.-iv 3.00

Lawson 3.00 Roosevelt 2.75

In years past we could have made a
reasonable profit for a good deal less
figure, but not since the ririce of gla«=.
lumber, real estate, wages, coal, pipe
and all other supplies have advanced so
much, to say nothing of the extra care
and labor now given the plants, and
which we are compelled to give them if
we are to compete with the high grade
quality now being put on the market.

Another way to set a price is as fol-
lows:

1 am inclined to think the latter
method the best. It is understood that
every carnation is a good one, no weak
stemmed, off colored ones or bursted
calyxes. I think any fair minded grow-
er or retailer will agree that the above
prices are very fair to both parties when
only first-class stock is taken into ac
count.

Albert M. Herr, secretary of the Amer-
ican Carnation Society, says that for
such varieties as Apollo, Prosperity, En-
chantress, Estelle. Queen Louise, Nor-
way, Lawson and Roosevelt, at least $4
per 100 should be asked for a contract
price from October 1 to the week after

Easter, if the price is to include the hol-
iday crop, and after Easter the price
should be cut fifty per cent and if car-
ried over Decoration day it should again
be cut fifty per cent, making a flat rate
ef $1 per 100 for summer blooms. Queen
Louise might be grown for about half
these figures, but the others will be losing
ventures for any less money.

CARNATIONS REGISTERED.
Jerome A. Suydam, Flatbush, N. Y.,
registers Carnation Amaze, an A No. 1
commercial scarlet; it will stand the heat
of the sun without losing its brightness,

grown and we have failed to see a burst-
ed calyx. Albert M. Herr, Sec'y.

CHRYSANTHEMUMS.

Watering.

As the days begin to get shorter and
cooler, more attention should be paid to
the watering. The plants have made a
heavy growth of foliage and the sun can
no lunger penetrate to the soil to dry out
the beds, as it did during the earlier
months. Let the soil get somewhat on
the dry side and then water thoroughly
and it will be some days before the op-
eration need be repeated. It is a great
mistake to be giving the beds light sur-
face watering every day or so, because
this method rots the tiny root fibers and
the plants do not keep moving along as
they should.

It will often happen that the sides of
the bench where the sun can reach will
be dry, while the center of the bed is
plenty wet enough. Water along the
sides with a light stream and do not turn
the water on full force; then the bed
will be evenly moist all through. It is
always in the center of the bench where
leaf spot commences when water is in-
discriminately given.

Syringing, also, should be now done
only on bright days, so that the foliage
is always dry before night, or mildew will
make its appearance; in fact, it is al-
ready showing on some varieties because
of the very wet August. Spraying with
the potassium solution, as previously
noted in these columns, will check the
spread of mildew and not disfigure the
foliage to speak of. One cannot afford to
dispense with syringing altogether yet,
on account of the red spider, though I be-
lieve the plants would otherwise be better
ofl without it.

Insects.

A careful examination of the buds will
find some of them infested with black or
greenfly. Blackfly will often be found in
colonies on the under side of the foliage
also, when the grower had thought that
Ms plants were clean and right. Fumi-
gation is the quickest way to kill fly,
and in our experience the tobacco dust
burnt in the house is just as effective and
far safer to use than tobacco stems. If
the young foliage is burnt now it seri-
ously impairs the value of the crop, as
it will show all around the edges when
the leaf is developed. Fumigate at night
and get the house opened up before day-
light so that the smoke is all gone bo-
fore the sun gets up ; then the foliage is
not nearly so likely to be injured.

Where some of the buds are badly in-
fested with greenfly and smoking does

not seem to be effective, get some to-
bacco dust1 and shake it thickly all over
the bud, working it into all the little
crevices of the hard, husky covering. The
dust will smother every fly and I have
always found it effectual, without injur-
ing the bud in the least.

Grasshoppers are few and far between
this year, which is a blessing, for they
have a fondness for cutting the young,
tender bud off from its parent stalk and
leaving profanity in their wake. Get up
at daybreak, if "they are troubling you,
and catch them while they are in a semi-
comatose condition. Later in the day,
when the sun is out, they move too brisk-
ly t.i I .-isih captured. There seems

to be fewer insects on the plants this
year than for some seasons past, and for
this relief we are duly thankful.

NYMPHAEA JAMES GURNEY.

Many good things have emanated from
Tower Grove Park, St. Louis, where they
have a new seedling nymphaea, called
James Ourney, whose parents are N.
O'Marana and N. Frank Trelease. It
has large bronze leaves, more fringe. I
than its parents, and large, beautiful
pink flowers. Anyone who sees it can
1m,-, i nil the other varieties. Phil Go-
bel, who has charge of the pond, and
James Gurney. the head of the park, are
very proud of their new find. Tower
Grove Park is also the home of the grand
new salvia, St. Louis, and the beautiful
Stella Gurney ageratum. The park Is
looking better than ever. Mr. Gurney
laid it out in 1863 and has been at its
head ever since. He planted every tree
in the park but three. J. J. B.

street. He also handles candies.

"AT BUYER'S RISK."

Wo were much interested in the mat-
ter under this heading in the Beview of
last week, for, like a good many others,
we have, we fear, lost standing with cer-
tain wholesale houses because we refused
to pay the bill in full when we were not
satisfied with the stock received. It
seems that legally we were in the wrong,
and should have had to pay if collection
had been pressed, but is it justice to ask
the buyer to stand losses for which he is
in no way responsible? Does he not
suffer enough loss when stock reaches
him in such condition that it cannot be
used? Very likely he loses a customer.

Perhaps it is too much to ask that a
wholesaler admit that he sent, out stuff
not fit to travel; we will grant that the
shipper sent fresh stuff. If the express
messenger puts the box on the steam
pipes and the carnations go to sleep, is
it right that the disappointed buyer be
made to pay the bill and waste as much
more in time trying to get his money
hack from the express company?

We don't suppose that the time will
ever come when the wholesaler can afford
to guarantee the arrival of his goods at
destination, for such a practice would
let down the bars for all sorts of unfair
claims, but it looks to us as though the
wholesaler ought to meet the buyer half
way in these matters. Certainly the
buyer cannot be expected to keep on or-
dering if he finds little but useless stock,
and a bill, when he opens the box, and this
is only a little less true if somebody else
stands the loss. The shipper may not
"guarantee" safe arrivals, but just the
same they have got to arrive safely if
the business is going on.

The introducers of novelties may talk
all they want to about size and color,
calyx and stem, the societies may judge
'em by scale to any figure they please,
but the important thing in a flower now-

State Vice-Presidents' Reports

The reports of the S. A. F. vice-presidents are. in the aggregate, so volum
as to preclmle iheiv publication in full. The following are the salient points i
reports for the states mentioned.

Kansas. — The past year has been very
good for florists of this state, but I have
not been able bo gel manj florists inter-
ested in the S. A. F. — A.'H. Whitcomb.

little oni'ding of greenhouses
has been done. It seems as if all inter-
est in the S. A. F. is centering upon next
year's St. Louis meeting. — C. L. Sey-
BOLD.

Missouri. — Our trade has increased on
an average of twenty-five per cent over
last year, and the prospects are very good
for the coming fall and winter. The
wholesaler, retailer and grower alike say
that the past season was the best they
ever had. There has been much building
to increase facilities. — C. A. Juengel.

Nebraska. — Trade has been steady and
satisfactory in all lines. There has never
been much surplus stock and as a con-
sequence the florists are enlarging their
plants, and others are building up new
fields. Nearly everyone is putting the
money he has made back into new im-
provements and buildings. — Lewis Hen-
derson.

Massachusetts.— There is a steady
demand for summer roses which cannot
be met. Lawson is perhaps the favorite
carnation, with Prosperity, which colors
well here, a close second. Considerable
quantities of the new varieties will be
tried this season, and the stock looks well
in spite of the excessive rains.— A. J.
Loveless.

Kentucky. — The production of iirst-
elass stork is on the increase, but not
nearly enough to supply the demand.
Especially noticeable is the call for hardy
ornamental stock for the many modern
places which are being laid out near
Louisville. Quite a few thousand dollars
still go out of Kentucky for stock that
could readily be grown here. — A. B.
Baumer.

Iowa. — Since the last convention 125-
700 square feet of glass have been added
to floral establishments by those who
have responded to my inquiries, and I
suppose those who have not reported have
been equally prosperous. More than half
of those in the trade report an increased
demand of ten per cent to twenty-five
per cent for hardy perennials and orna-
mental shrubs. — Wesley Greene.

Connecticut. — The general experience
seems to be that the advanced prices
charged did not decrease the demand for
cut flowers and plants, and that there
was quite a scarcity of cut flowers at cer-
tain times. John Eeck, of Bridgeport,
strongly advocates the growing of a
greater variety of bedding plants as a

cent of the stock

nired where they
and for that class
of plants would surely come if florists
would make an earnest effort to grow
and introduce them. — THEODORE WlRTH.

Bhode Island. — Business in general
the past season has been good, with bet-
ter prices and less surplus stock than
in former years. This state still pro-
duces more stock than is needed at home
but a ready market is found in Boston.
Several establishments contemplate build-
ing, and it is interesting to note that the
aim seems to be to erect modern houses,
as it is apparent that fancy stock is in
demand.— L. J. Keuter.

Indiana.— In cut flowers, the demand
for carnations has increased fifty per
rent, while the call for roses remains
about the same, or perhaps on a slight
decrease. The public is always willing
to pay a fair price for first-class flowers
arranged in an artistic manner. The
Boston fern takes the lead among deco-
rative plants, with kentias and rubbers
a close second, but I predict a larger de-
mand for the beautiful Piersoni, when
it can be grown and offered at a reason-
able price. — W. W. Coles.

Georgia. — The past year has been the
best on record. In cut flowers, roses will
always be the leader, carnations next,
with chrysanthemums a close third. The
demand • for decorative stock, such as
palms, ferns, rubbers and fancy-leaved
caladiums is growing enormously, but
summer bedding plants, such as gerani-
ums, heliotropes, lantanas. salvias, coleus,
etc., are losing their popularity. The ma-
jority of the planters when ornamenting
home grounds are using hardy stock,
such as broad-leaved and coniferous ever-,
greens and flowering shrubs. — L. A.
Berckmans.

New York. — What looked like a very
serious matter last fall was the fuel
question. At present the outlook for coal
is brighter, but sooner or later this ques-
tion will become a. problem. Will the
Society of American Florists be able to
solve that problem, or could not some-
thing be done even now to prevent a re-
currence of the conditions we all experi-
enced last fall and winter? Some may
think the influence of the S. A. F. is not
Millirirnt and far-reaching to attack the
forces that control the fuel supply, but
we should remember the splendid results
li:ii w.re achieved by a united and pro-
longed attack on the express companies
when they raised their rates without
warning. — C H. Kietsch.

New Jersey. — This is the most fa-
vored state in the union for the promo-
tion of floriculture and ornamental horti-
culture. Greenhouse building is going
on, especially among the rose growers,
but the high prices of material have lim-
ited the building to a considerable ex-
tent. The general sentiment is to take
good care of what we have, and wait for
expansion until a more favorable time.
The year has been one not without its
difficulties, but on the whole the florists
of the state have been successful finan-
cially.—W. B. DuBie.

New Hampshire. — There is a steadily
increasing volume of business in the old
Granite state. The exceptionally high
price of coal last winter made a few
small places go under, but our live flor-
ists increased the price of stock twenty'
five per cent, which was willingly paid
and more than off-set the extra coal bill.
Win. Elliott, at Madbury, I hear is con-
templating the erection of another 800-
foot house for American Beauties, along-
solo the one already established. A
market gardener in Portsmouth built a
house 40x200, and a New Castle florist
nearby put a handsome addition on to
his place, which represents a good deal
of money, ridge and furrow style, with
iron gutters, iron posts and other mod-
ern improvements. — Bernard Morris.

Ohio. — The local supply of cut flowers
was entirely inadequate last season, and
outside markets had to be drawn upon to
supply the demand, yet in the face of
these prosperous conditions less building

has taken pli than the previous year;

this is probably due to the increase in
the price of material. Carnations are in
high favor and being more largely plant-
ed, most of them benched very early.
Much complaint has been heard from
those who purchased the new and high-
priced varieties and received cuttings
with few if any roots, and covered with
rust or spotted with bacteria. This is
bad practice. In roses, Beauty has taken
a decided jump and more are planted
than ever before. Liberty has proved a
failure. Growers increased their orders
for bulbs on the strength of last season 's
profits. Palms have been slow sale but
it is wonderful how the sale of :
ferns t ps np. — Isaac Kennedy.

THE TORONTO EXHIBITION.

Following close on the heels of the
C. II. A. convention comes the annual
exhibition of plants, flowers and floral
work at Toronto. On account of this
v cur's exhibition being on a more elab-
orate scale than previously, is was ex-
ported that the horticultural exhibit

This can hardly be said to have been the
case, although the exhibit was a good
one, especially in plants. A more com-
modious hall is badly needed, and, as
now buildings are being erected yearly,
it is expected that the florists will get
at hast a ' ' look in ' ' nexl J ear.

and some very close judging was neces-
sary. For the large piece, a floral chair
exhibited by .1. S. Simmons was awarded
first. This w:is a very tine piece and
was freely commented upon by all who
saw it. The flowers used were inexpen-
sive but were used to good advantage
and it was finished off with two doves
and baby ribbon. A large bow of mauve
ribbon hung over the bark, with the
word "vacant" in hand-painting.

The second prize was awarded a piece
made up by H. G. Dillemuth, of Dun-
lop's. This was a standing lyre and
was a magnificent piece, the base being
composed of light gladioli, while lilies
and roses, with a bunch of orchids on the

Third prize was awarded a large brok-
en column exhibited by Geo. Brown.
which was made of asters, lilies and

went to Geo. Brown. It was made of
roses and valley. Second went to J. S.

RETURNING THECONDENSATION.

The following is an extract from an
address by K. W. King, of Toronto, be-
fore the Canadian Horticultural Asso-
ciation, September 2, 1903 :

The heating of greenhouses in our
northern climate is always more or less
a "burning" question, with fuel very
dear. The speaker 'a particular fad at
the present time is boilers above ground.
The placing of greenhouse boilers in a
hole, sometimes called a cellar, is one
of the inherited evils of the hot water
system. You can keep your hot water
boiler in a hole if you will, but place
your steam boilers above ground. To
obtain proper economy from a steam
heating plant extended heating surfaces
are required, with economizers and pip-
ing of more or less complicated nature,
the proper care and preservation of which
requires room to get at it, and a dry
location, if the full life and economy of
the plant is to be obtained. 1 will not
enlarge on this point, but refer brief! v -
means for returning the condensation to
the boilers. I do not personally consider
that steam traps are the most successful.
They require, if the lift is at all high,
considerable pressure to operate the*"
which is not easily available in a low
pressure plant.

In cases where high pressure auxiliary
boilers are used in connection with heat-
ing plants, for the driving of automatic
stokers and coal conveying machinery, as
at the Bale estate at Brampton, a ready
means is at hand for operating an ordi-
nary steam pump to enforce returns;
and this has been utilized for some years
at this establishment with success, thus
removing the only necessity, in that case,
for having placed the original boiler
plant under ground. For a small amount
of power, high pressure is not neeessan .
In plans executed last spring I place in
the main steam pipe just after it leaves
the boilers, a back pressure valve, to be

pump, guaranteed to run at five pounds
and under. This exhausts its waste
steam into the heating pipes, so practic-
ally none of its heat is lost. No mat-
tor what the pressure carried in the
pipes, the pump will always have the
weight placed on the low pressure valve
in its favor, which can be regulated to
requirements. As a proof of the prac-
ticability of operating I"" pro-Min-
pumps, although their arrangement is
not the same, I wrote to two gentlemen
who 1 learned had experimented along
these lines. S. 8. Bain, of Montreal, re-
ferring to his low pressure return punr .
-.i \ s: " Three pounds of steam works this
pump; indeed, we find that whatever
steam is in the boiler works the pump.
It has given me every satisfaction.''
Wm. Gammage, of London, referring to
his low pressure return pump, which has
been in operation since 1898, say- :
"The pump has given us the best of
satisfaction; in fact, it will work most
of the time with from one to three
pounds on the gauge."

Some of the objections that have
hitherto been raised to the method of re-
turning condensation by means of pumps
are reasonable when we consider that in
many steam heating plants, when used
to their full capacity, it is often impos
sible to raise any pressure that could be
relied upon to keep a pump in operation.
For this reason in some instances a small
independent high pressure boiler is used
for the purpose of driving the pump.
This occasions considerable extra care
on the part of an attendant. In other
instances, where the necessary pressure
is maintained on the whole system, the
pump discharges steam into the atmos-
phere, representing so much waste fuel.

In the system now recommended neith-
er of these objections occur. The use of
a back pressure valve causes two pres-
sures to be made. The pressure on the
boilers being always five pounds heavier
than that used on the heating system.
Supposing there was no pressure on the
heating system whatever, there would
still be five pounds on the boilers, or
whatever pressure you may please to set
the valve to carry. In fact, no heating
at. all can be done till this pressure on
the boilers is raised.

PHILADELPHIA.

The Market.
Despite the midsummer weather of mid
September, business has continued to im-
prove. The music of the telephone, the
ring of the hammer and the hum of
voices enliven the commission houses
and the Flower Market. The work of the
decorator has begun in earnest. Hugh

and even fine Beauties w:ere freely used.

There has been a lively demand for
fine roses. Dahlias are seen everywhere
in profusion. The wet weather has made
this a poor aster year for the outdoor-
grown stock, but seems a good one for
the stock that reaches town in fit con-
dition. Carnations are still scarce.
Business Notes.

There are several items of more than
usual interest to the street this week.
One comes from President Heacock and
Manager Meehan, who state that the
Flower Market will make weekly pay-
ments with the beginning of their new
year, October 1. The plan is, wait two
weeks and then send a statement and
check to every grower each week, the
one week 's delay being necessary to
make up the books.

Another item of especial interest is
that Joseph Bevis & Son have just be-
gun supplying Brides, Maids and Liber-
ties to Leo Niessen. This firm has for
several years grown exceptionally fine

roses, which until now they have peddled.
Another item, not new but not gen-
erally known, is that Edward Keid has
secured the stock of William Munro,
now of Lansdowne, who made such a
high reputation for himself with Myers
& Samtman, and with Robert Scott &
Son.

Dahlias at Atco.

I visited Atco last week at the re-
quest of Mr. S. S. Penuock, who re-
ceives quantities of choice dahlias from
there, where I was much impressed with
the seventy-one acres of dahlias, their
vigor and freedom from weeds. The
farm contains four shops and packing
houses, two root cellars, besides pot
sheds, offices, a number of frames, and
15,000 feet of glass, fully equipped and
heated by steam, with two steam pumps,
windmill, etc., between 200 and 300 acres
of land. I cannot give a better descrip-
'tion of the place than that written for
me by the proprietor, Mr. Peacock, at
my earnest request, as follows:

As I stated, we are growing a million
of dahlias on seventy-one acres of land.
We plant generally rows four feet apart,
and one foot in the row, although we
are forced this year for want of land to
plant the rows a little closer, and as
close as six inches apart in the row.

I am very sorry that your time was so
limited that you could not go over the
entire place and note carefully the lead-
ing varieties of the particular types. The
dahlia exhibition to be held September
15 and 16 we expect to be the finest of
the kind ever held in this country, and
I trust to see you there, when you can
get the names of the leading varieties.
I will also be very glad to give you anv
further information at any time through-
out the season, as I believe it would be
a good thing for your paper to push
dahlias along. As I stated, today, they
are practically the only flower at this
time of the year, and owing to the great
diversity of forms and types, as well as
complete ranges of forms and colors in
each of those types, they fill all wants
between summer flowers and chrysanthe-
mums.

At the present time the show, fancy
and pompon dahlias are the most valu-
able, as they will carry better and keep
longer during the hot weather. We will
speak, therefore, of the present need
first; a little later, however, as the
weather becomes cooler, the decorative,
cactus and single dahlias will carry per-
fectly and keep in good condition for
several days. It is impossible to state
which is really the most beautiful or the
most useful, as it depends entirely upon
individual choice, because, as stated
above, there is a complete range of col-
ors in every class. In this way the par-
ties liking the little bouquet, or pompon
dahlias, are treated to fifty to one hun-
dred perfect little gems, embracing every
color, tint or shade, or combination of
shade that is to be found in the large
show. These little fellows have long,
slender stems. They grow dwarf, of
branching habit and are cut in sprays of
full open flowers, half open flowers, buds
and foliage, making them most graceful
and attractive. These are used for ?veiy
purpose, and are the favorites of many.

Then again, the large show dahlia's,
when cut on stems from two to three
feet long, are invaluable for vases and
heavy decorative work. They are also
valuable on account of their wonderful
formation, with their quilled, cupped and
incurved petals. This formation, how-

ever, is very stiff and formal, and out-
side of massing for color effect, etc., are
not admired by many, although they are
the general favorites in many sections
and as a matter of fact outsell any other
class, beeause it is the only class that
is universally known. This is the origi-
nal double dahlia.

The fancy type is similar to the show
dahlia in every way except color. I
would say right here that the show dah-
lia is an all-around full double flower,
of close formation and of solid color or
tipped darker than the ground color;
while the fancy dahlia is either striped,
tipped, margined, or penciled two or
more colors, or tipped lighter than the
ground color.

The cactus dahlia, as soon as it is as
widely known as the show dahlia, will
be the universal favorite. It is an en-
tirely distinct formation. The petals
are long, generally straight, at other
times incurved and presenting the most
irregularly regular appearance imagin-
able, if this term will be allowed. They
embrace a complete range of coloring
and there are now a number of striped,
tipped and blended varieties. The for-
mation of the cactus dahlia is such that
the colors show to a much greater ad-
vantage than in the show or fancy. Up
to the last few years, the cactus dahlias
have been indifferent bloomers, except-
ing in a few varieties which have very
short stems. Lately they have been
blooming much more profusely, blooming
in fact as early and as profusely as the
show dahlias, but their main drawback
has been a weak, drooping stem. This
has been overcome the last year or two
and we now have a few cactus dahlias
with strong stems and the flowers face
up, and at the same time they have such
substance that they will keep as long
as show dahlias after being cut. These
are the most valuable ones, and I pre-
dict inside of five years that the cactus
dahlia will be as widely known as all
other classes combined.

The decorative dahlias are intermedi-
ate in form between the show and the
cactus. They have the loose, open out-
line, in many cases irregular. The pet-
als are sometimes pointed, sometimes in-
curved, and mostly reflexed, although in
some cases, like Wilhelm Miller and
Grand Duke Alexis, they are quilled.
They are of the largest size, especially
in such types as William Agnew and
Clifford W. Bruton. The color is the
grandest. With a very few exceptions
they are all self-colored, but clear and
vivid among the dark varieties and ex-
ceedingly delicate and chaste among the
lighter ones. They are extremely early
and profuse bloomers and continue in
bloom the entire season. As their name
would imply, they are the most valuable
for decorative purposes, as they are
strong, vigorous growers and can be cut
on long stems.

The single dahlias are rapidly gain-
ing a wonderful popularity. The color
of these is marvelous. There is also
as much difference in the color and size
as among the other classes. We have
the single cactus, the stellate, the show,
fancy, orchid-flowered, anemone-flowered,
the gloria, French collarette, and many
other types or sub-divisions which are
generally all classed together as single
dahlias. A collection of a few hundred
varieties of single dahlias in full bloom
is certainly a most beautiful sight. The
plants grow in height from one foot to
ten feet; the flowers in size from one
inch to eight inches in diameter. Im-

provement in the single varieties the
past few years is wonderful. Most of
the older varieties of high growth have
been superceded by dwarf, low branch-
ing, long-stemmed varieties, and these in
turn arc now rapidly being superseded
by the orchid-flowered or Twentieth Cen-
tury class. This last bright colored,
mammoth-flowered single is now found
in all of the colors.

Various Items.

Hydrangeas are about over. C. A.
Dunn & Co. were able to fill an order
for 1,000 heads of this showy flower on
Saturday last.

John Melntyre says that his house
(Edward Reid) had a record-breaking
day on fine roses this week, also that a
shipment made recently to a far distant
point, Niles, Mich., reached its destina-
tion in good order.

W. A. Murray, Atco, N. J., is sending
in some very fine white carnations, Queen
Louise, to Samuel S. Pennock.

William Berger, of Germantown, has
improved his store and enclosed his of-
fice, putting in a Fisher typewriting and
billing machine. This machine is very
popular in the department stores, prov-
ing itself a great labor saver. By its
aid bi is are made out in duplicate as
fast as sales are made, so that bills are
ready at any time for the customer and
work at the en! of each month is greatly
lessened.

The September meeting of the Ger-
mantown Horticultural Society was held
last Monday evening. Peonies and asters
were the subjects for discussion. George
C. Watson spoke on peonies. He was
followed with close attention by those
present.

The Pennsylvania Horticultural So-
ciety held its dahlia show on Tuesday
evening and kept it open all day Wednes-
day. It was the best and most instruc-
tive dahlia show ever seen here, and was
greatly enjoyed by all who saw it.

E. G. Palmer had another of his pleas-
ant parties to Doylestown last week. He
was accompanied by Leo Niessen and
Charles E. Meehan. They report Mr.
Palmer's new houses in fine condition,
well put together and full of good stuff.
While describing John F. Andre's place,
Mr. Niessen said to the writer: "He
has eight houses averaging about 140x20
feet, all in Brides and Maids, except one
in Beauties. Everything looked well ;
tie plants were strong and vigorous, all
neatly tied up, beds and walks clean.
In fact, you should be happy if your
place looks like it; I hope it does." So
do I.

B. Eschner, of the firm of M. Eice &
Co., returned last Saturday from a very
successful business trip through the
south and west. Phil.

Pickelman was 74 years old. In 1854
he came to Buffalo and some time after
opened Orchestrion Hall with a big green-
house adjoining. It was a unique place,
frequented by many of the best people
in Buffalo. The orchestrion which helped
to make it famous cost $5,580. Mr.
Pickelman was born in Bavaria, and

who is an adopted son.

Z. K. Jewett.

The demise of Z. K. Jewett, of Sparta,'
Wis., is announced. He was a pioneer
nurseryman and florist, and was widely

had done a large business in gathering
and shipping sphagnum moss.

CHICAGO.

The Market-
Such a market as we have had this
week the stock exchange reporter would
describe as "ragged" and "spotty."
Some of the houses report nothing do-
ing, but in others, principally those which
do a shipping trade, there are evidences
of considerable activity. Indianapolis
and Cincinnati have been large buyers,
a state fair at one and a fall festival
at the other occasioning the demand.
Small orders from other outside points
have also been numerous, show-
ing conditions in this market to be gen-
eral over a wide territory, for in nearly
every case the call was for something
on which the weather has shortened the
supply. Beauties are wanted, but prin-
cipally good tea roses are called for,
and few are to be had, with simply
wagon loads of the short, soft and open
flowers encumbering the wholesale houses
until jobbed off to the Greeks.

The increase in the orders for asters
is also very noticeable. Not long ago,
when there were plenty of good asters,
the sale was almost entirely local, for all
the country buyers had asters of their
own, but now that the heavy rains have
spoiled the flowers for the out-of-town
grower he wires in for a supply, and
is disappointed at the quality of the
goods he gets, forgetting that it rains
alike on the just and on the unjust.
There are still plenty of asters here,
such as they are, also gladioli. Auratum
lilies are again plentiful and longi-
florums are to be had.

The carnations are pretty good for so
early, good flowers and fair stems, but
there are too many poor ones here also.
The fall openings are taking consider-
able stock, both green goods rnd cut
flowers. If the florists through the
country would look for this work they
would get much more of it and could
handle it at a nice profit, getting their
supplies in this market.

The cold wave which the weather man
has been predicting arrived Wednesday
morning, and will do much to shorten
supplies of undesirable stock. If the
low temperature holds for any length
of time there should be a marked im-
provement in the average quality of
roses, although much mildew may now
be looked for, many growers not having
begun firing in time.

Various Notes.

Peter Reinberg and John Muno will
be of a party to go to Sleepy Eye, Minn.,
next week for two weeks' hunting.

E. C. Amling shipped out 2,000 valley
on a single order on Tuesday.

Geo. Harrer, of Morton Grove, is send-
ing E. H. Hunt small quantities of Queen
of Edgely rose. It is seldom seen in
this market.

There will be a final meeting for the
settlement of convention entertainment

accounts at the Union restaurant this
evening at seven o'clock. All commit-
teemen and subscribers have been noti-
fied to be present.

Wietor Bros.' greenhouses were struck
by lightning in the storm Inst Sunday
night, but only a little damage was
done.

C. L. Washburn says people who star
in town have no idea of the amount of
water that has fallen in the last few
days. The fields along the Burlington
from Chicago to Hinsdale are all flooded
and the rivers as high as during the
spring floods. It has practically drowned
the outdoor flowers.

D. W. Brant, of Brant & Noe, For-

Begonia Gloire de Lorraine this year.

W. N. Budd is making preparations
to distribute his light pink carnation,
Phyllis, this season.

Klehms' Nursery is sending in a big
cut of auratum lilies.

H. F. Halle has returned from a two
months' trip to Germany, but his health
does not show the improvement for
which his friends hoped.

Henry Payne, of Hinsdale, the

The Geo. Wittbold Co. has several
hundred very good chrysanthemum plants
in 6-inch pots, which they are just mov-
ing in from the field, where they have
been plunged all summer.

August Jurgens says there was a great
call for valley beginning last Saturday.
Monday and Tuesday it was impossible
to supply the demand.

E. F. Winterson Co. is handling many
plants. On Tuesday they got in a full
carload of Boston ferns.

J. A. Budlong has 10,000 chrysanthe-

fine shape and many showing color.
The space will be used for propagating
when the flowers are cut.

George W. Wienhoeber says that fall
business is starting in pretty briskly.

Clifford Pruner is back at Winterson 's
fully recovered from his severe i;lness.

The Market.

The long delayed "good old
time" arn\'"l just :is we are reading
of frost and snow in the northwest, but
here it is and the market is glutted as a
result of the hot wave and prices are
receding at an alarming rate. Trade is
fair for the. season, however. The schools
and nearly all of the theaters opened on
Monday and their influence was evident.
Every handsome teacher and actress had
a hand in the floral pie, but the market
supply was enormous and not even a
flurry was created. Asters, dahlias and
gladioli are abundant. Violets arrive
regularly. Chrysanthemums have begun
and there is nothing lacking. Roses
are abundant and were of superb quality
until the hot weather hit them. Carna-
tions increase in quantity and improve
in quality daily and the windows of the
retailers are ablaze with color. All the
autumn outdoor flowers and grasses are
at their best. Hydrangeas and golden
rod are much in evidence. He is only
an apology for a florist who cannot make
his window display gorgeously attractive
now.

Various Items.

We regret to announce the death of
Mrs. Reed, mother of Mr. Reed, of Reed
& Keller.

Mr. Nash is an interesting fellow to
interview these days, with his instructive
stories of "Hold Lunnon, don't cher
know." He says they can't teach us
anything about the flower business but
decries our torpidity in not having an
established market, like Covent Garden,
where every department of the trade
could congregate, and up-town, say at
the corner of Forty-third street and
Sixth avenue, where a splendid site for
a market is obtainable, and where the
very center of the business interests of
the metropolis must ultimately be. In
London they are now building a market,
through private enterprise, for the floral
products of France and the Scilly Is-
lands. The market in London opens at
4 and closes at 9 a. m. in summer; in
winter from 5 to 9. In no other respect
save as to its market conveniences can
floral London compare with New York.
Mr. Nash is much benefitted in health
by his trip abroad. His son, who has
been attending school in England, re-
turned with him.

On September 6 the home of August
Millang was honored by a visit from the
stork, with a baby boy in the basket.
As the "Beauty King" seems to be a

carry the name of Joe, after his uncle,
Joseph Millang, manager of the New
York Cut Flower Co.

Mr. Ford is back from his fishing trip
to Barnegat and his visit to his violet
growers at Rhinebeck. At the latter
place he found over fifty new green-
houses erected since his trip a year ago,
and as an illustration of "the nerve of
some people," as he expressed it, he
cites the case of one man there who has
just built three large houses and benched
22,000 plants, and "he never was in a
greenhouse but twice in his life."

Alex Guttman has about doubled his
ice box capacity and storeroom and is
still handling an average of 4,000 as-
ters and gladioli dailv.

The new firm of Slinn & Hughes should
make considerable stir this winter. B.
S. Slinn, Jr., has been conducting a sue
cessful business for some time, and Wai-
ter Hughes, who has been salesman for
Jerome Kuydani, of Flatbush, is well
and favorably known. They will handle
Mr. Kuydani 's fine carnation stock as
usual and have some other good growers
on their list. Their headquarters will
be with the New York Cut Flower Co.,
in the Coogan building.

The regular board meeting of the
Cut Flower Company was held yester-
day. The company has just installed
a new switch board with numerous trunk
wires, so that each of their many depart-
ments is now connected with the central
office, thereby increasing their conveni-
ences and facilities.

To illustrate the enormous shipments
of asters to this market, Mr. Ghormley
showed me 9,400 from one shipper on
Saturday last, and the same glut pre-
vails in nearly every wholesale estab-
lishment in the city. In several of the
wholesale stores 15,000 to 20,000 asters
are handled daily.

C. W. Ward reports every carnation
plant disposed of already and the same
scarcity prevails all over the east, the
supply nowhere equalling the healthy de-
mand.

\V. C. Mansfield, of Lexington avenue,
has returned from the Thousand Islands
with some big pickerel stories. He was
accompanied by Messrs. Roberts and
Grunewahl, the retailers of Columbus
avenue, and left them there still fish-

John Young reports a continuous de-

C.i it leva labiata.

A. J I. Langjahr, of Brooklyn, who has

The Market.

I '.'i- - !" -ins to show some improve-
ment. The retailers report that they
lirly busy during the past week.
while ,-i great deal of funeral work, with

jump for a few days. The shipping
trade also begins to show improvement
among the wholesalers. The weather is
fine; warm, bright days and cool nights,
which they say is just the kind of

firing in with improved
foliage and blooms. The demand for
high grade stock is good, but supply is
limited as yet. Good Beauties are still
somewhat scarce, but plenty of shorts
are in the market; $2 per dozen is the
top price. .Meteors are also better and
Brides and Carnots are of good quality.
Maids. Perles and Gates are small as
yet, but promise better soon. The best
roses bring $5 per 100 and there seem
to be plenty for the demand. Carna-
tions are fairly plentiful, but cannot be
called choice. They clean up fairly well,
but, like outdoor stock, the stems are
short, although the blooms are fair. The

best grade does not bring over $1.50 per
100, while, some of the ordinary stock is
sold at 50 cents. The supply of fancies
is very limited.

Lily of the valley sold somewhat bet-
ter the past week, owing to the fall wed-
dings. Asters have shortened up, but
enough are shipped in to supply the de-
mand at $1 and $1.50 per 100. Heads
of hydrangea when clean sell well ; so
does Clematis paniculata. The long
sprays of the latter would be effective in
decorations, but very little of that kind
of work is now on hand. Cosmos is com-
ing in. but not in sufficient quantities to
make a quotation on it. Gladioli are
about gone. These, with other outdoor
stock, sell slowly. In the line of green,
adiantum has some demand. Smilax also
moves well. With galas. Sprengeri
and plenty of fancy ferns, the green
market is in good condition at. the pres-
ent time.

Club Meeting.

The Florists' Club held its September
meeting in Edwardsville, 111., at the home
of Fred Ammann. It was the most en-
thusiastic meeting held by the club this
year, and thirty members were in at-
tendance. The members were met at
the Court House square by Mr. Am-
mann and his foreman, Mr. Blixen, and
were escorted to their place. After the
inspection of this well kept establish-
ment all were of the same opinion, that
everything was in fine shape. The young
rose stock, especially the Perles. Beau-
ties, Ivory and Brides, looked fine, and
the short-roof Dietsch houses were voted
a success; the Wolf ventilator was also
vrell spoken of.

The meeting opened up at 3 o'clock,
with President Dunford in the chair.
All committees reported and were dis-
charged with thanks. Mr. Ammann was
requested to read his Milwaukee speech.
Frederick Balthis was elected a member
of the club, and Wm. Bouche, land-
s', made application for
All essays left over will
be read at the next meeting. The instal-
lation of officers took place. With a
few appropriate remarks President Dun-
ford left the chair, which he has so ablv
filled the past year to J. J. Beneke, the
newly elected president. Via President

was brought out on stem-rot in carna-
tions, in which Messrs. Fillmore, liny,
Halstedt, Ammann. Herzog and Dun-

happily and made the meeting quite
interesting-.

attended the convention, and nothing but
good words and praise were heard for
i lie .Milwaukee and Chicago florists for
our entertainment. The hour was grow-
ing late, and, drinking the health of .Mr.
Ainmnnn and his family, tin- members
started for home, voting this one of the
best meetings held by the chili this year.
On the way home the members had lots
of fun at the expense of Frank Fill-
more, the joker of the club.

The next meeting of the elub will be
held on' October 8, at 2 o 'clock, in Odd
Fellows ' building, and the entire mem-
bership is requested to be present, as
convention matters will come up which
will be of interest to every member of
the club.

Various Notes.

Fred Ammann, who is known among
the craft as the ' ' Perle King, ' ' distrib-
uted a fine lot of well grown Perles to
those win. attended the elub meeting
last Thursday, which was much appre-
ciated by numbers.

Mr. Felter, on Lexington avenue, will
have a fine lot of pot chrysanthemums
for the fall trade.

At Berning 's all hands are busy mak-
ing preparations to move to their new
location at 1402 Pine street.

The St. Clair Floral Co., of Belle-
ville, 111., is building five Dietsch houses,
16x100, for roses. These, so Dr. Hal-
stedt, who is the head of the company,
says, will be finished by November 1.

A. L. Vaughan, the representative of
E. H. Hunt, of Chicago, is a visitor this
week. The boys are all glad to see
Lloyd and no traveling man has more
friends here than Mr. Vaughan.

Bowline.

The wives of the florist bowlers are
arranging a bowling club, of which no
one can become a member unless con-
nected with the trade. They will have
their weekly bowling, the same as the
men, only they will have it in the after-
noons. Anyone wishing to join will
please send her name to Mrs. F. C.
Weber, 4326 Olive street, at once. Mrs.
Theo. Miller and Mrs. F. M. Ellis are
fast becoming expert bowlers. The ob-
ject of the ladies' club is to be in trim
for next year's convention.

Current Comment.

We are at present sweltering amidst a

torrid humid spell, hard for : rtherncr

to bear. Business is gradually awaken-
ing from its torpid, midsummer, condi-
tion. I don't know how the retailers
get rid of all the asters and gladioli. bin
I do know from personal observation
taken but a few hours ago, that our very

energetic commission man, Mr. Kasting,
seemed to me to have enough to supply
western New York.

I have not heard of any considerable
addition to our florist establishments
this summer, except the entire rebuild-
ing of Louis H. Neubeck 's place, corner
of Main and High streets. As this is
within a block or two of the very best
residence district, and, of course, with-
in the fire limits, aothing but I lie -'

substantial of material, stone, brick,
iron and glass, will go into it. It will
be one of the best equipped places in
the country, too small to reckon much
as a producing place, but fine as a show
and business place, and Louis knows hew
to nn. it.

A Visit to Toronto.

I was again honored with an invita-
tion to judge the cut flowers and de-
signs at Canada's great fair and prompt
ly accepted and tried to fulfil the po-
sition last week. It would have been

very pleasant to have been in C nto

the week before, for then the Canadian
Horticultural Society met. It was very
pleasant to know that the newly elected
president is our very old friend, Edward
I. Mepsted. The "Toronto fair is the
greatest annual exhibition on the con-
tinent, by long odds. Wliile the New
York State Fair had 30,000, with Presi-
dent Roosevelt as a star attraction, To-
ronto had days of 70,000, 80,000, 90,000,
and on Monday, November 7, 110,000.
While ornamental horticulture is but a
small feature, it is most creditable. I
can remember when, some fifteen years
ago, I thought the Toronto florists be-
hind the times, especially in designs.. No
longer can that be said, for many of the
baskets, etc., were as rich, elaborate,
and withal, as artistic, as I see any-
where. I wish, Mr. Editor, that all your
readers could have seen ' ' The Vacant
Chair." It was truly a work of art.
There were in competition with it sev-
eral most costly and beautiful pieces,
costing much more to build and fine in
every respect, yet the chair had the per-
fection of shading and taste of arrange-
ment. The roses exhibited by John H.
Dunlop were wonderful for this season,
about as perfect as you expect to see in
February.

During the past week, notwithstanding
the very hot weather, our market did qo1
show any decline. Business is still very-
good, and n le about this citj h

cause to complain. Funeral work still

trade are rapidly picking up, as the sum-
met' vacationists return home. Though

I line is still a good supply of stock, with
the exception of carnations, it is not
quite so heavy as a week ago. The fancv
asters sell on sight. Roses are »b-"+
the same as hist week, both as to sup-
ply and price. The hot weather litis been
prettj hard on Beauty. There is a brisk
demand for them, though, and the price
obtained is held well up to quotations.

Flower Show.

The first flower show given at the fall
festival under the direction of the Cin-
cinnati Florists' Society was held Sep-
tember 10 and without doubt it was the
best exhibition of cut flowers and pla-4^
ever held at this time of year. The ar-
rangement of the tables, general ef-
fect and the quality of the stock ex-
hibited could scarcely have been im-
proved upon. Theo. Bock, of Hamilton,
O., was the judge and did good work.

would never have reached the success
that it did.

Various Notes.

J. W. Kodgers has just returned from

This society wel u - outside eompi ti

tion an. I does qoI deduct any percentage
from the winnings of successful competi-
tors, who arc not members, the general
feeling being that if a grower ran win
a prize he is entitled to it. no matter
where he comes from.

Eoses generally are looking well in
this section and good competition can
be looked for in spite of a wet, cold
summer, while as for the chrysanthe-
mums, the Madison show has for years
been famous. The flowers annually set
up by such growers as A. Herrington, of
Florham Farms, and W. Duekham. gard-
ener to D. Willis James, are ample tes-
timony to the fact that Madison can't
be beat in floriculture. Chrysanthemums
this year seem to be even finer than
usual, and this section will be heard
from, as usual, when the New 5Tori
show begins.

Building operations this summer were
not very extensive in this section, al-
though quite a general overhauling can
be noticed around.

Eighter & Barton erected two houses
of the new galvanized construction of
the Pierson-Sefton Co. They are un-
questionably splendid houses, although
expensive for the trade grower. Stock
in these houses is in very fine condi-
tion, the American Beauties particularly,
and taken altogether this is a model
establishment.

A. L. Schultz & Co. put up o
house, 22x300, and modernized their
heating plant somewhat, putting in two
of the largest Hitchings sectional boil-
ers. The boys believe in being up to
date, and are constantly making im-
provements.

Jeff Doremus only started in the busi-
ness last year, but this year he added :i
new house, 20x200 feet, of the best type
of construction, also by the Pierson-
Sefton Co. The stock all through his
place is in good shape, and then' -.'.in-
a prosperous winter ahead of him. The
genial Jeff has a well of very fine wa-
ter on his place, but I venture to predict
that his water will never make him more
famous than has the brand of apple jack
he for venrs manufactured Visitor.

The Market.

been picking up wonderfully and with
the great scarcity of stock it keeps both
retailers un.l wholesalers at their wits'
end to kn.m h..» to till orders. As we

are plunged from a decidedly cool Au-
gust to what would look like a very
warm September and might be classed as
July weather. This, we presume, will

Asters are exceptionally plentiful and
some very fine stock, especially in white:
long stems and blooms all that could be
desired. Carnations are commencing to
come in fair supply. C. Turp is sending
in a nice cut. W. L. Lindsay, of Tif-

sonburg, is also sending in some good
stock.

Notes.

John Milligan. late of Duulop 's, who
has taken over the greenhouse at Mimi-
... Industrial School, loomed up the other
day with his first cut of carnations. He
reports stock looking very promising.

GRAND RAPIDS.

Prices remain the same as at my last
report, except asters, which vary from
25c to 50c, according to quality.

The weather still continues humid. We
have had such an abundance of rain that
it has interfered seriously with housing
carnations; eleven days of continuov.s
rain, and at the present time it is still
raining. Business is quiet, except fun-
eral orders and shipping, which keeps all

flowers cleaned up close. Carnations are
very scarce, but field-grown flowers are
beginning to come in fast, while the
earlier planted stock inside is also be-
ginning to flower, although the stems
are, of course, rather short. This is the
kind of weather that is rough on violets,
and forms the right conditions for biaek
spot. Look sharp after the ventilation
and uon't forget to keep the other eye
on that pesky little rascal, the black fly.
Violet troubles have begun early this
season.

This week will see the balance, or
nearly so, of all carnations planted, and
it is fair week here, too. The floral ex-
hibit will, as usual, be a "help us out"
kind of an affair, when anything, even
the poorest trash, goes, just because of
poor management and leaving things go
till just before fair time, then run around
to see who can be secured to help out.
This year Henry Smith, Grand Eapids
Floral Co., and Bruins-Slot & Sons are
the martyrs, and will do their best to
make that department attractive.

Such a strong opposition has devel-
oped against the city acquiring the
Maenama forty acres, adjoining John
Ball Park, that it has been decided ad-
visable by the council to submit the mat-
ter to a vote of the people.

Pleasant memories cling to us from
the Milwaukee convention, and we should
like to see a gold medal awarded that
man or woman who suggested that de-
lightfully convenient and practical lunch
basket on board boat. G. F. C.

Mueller Bros., St. Joseph, Mo., have
built a fine range of four houses for

Lawrence Becker, 1240 Bryn Mawr

CUCUMBERS.
Please give me a few points on raising
cucumbers under glass, the best variety
to force, time to plant, etc. , M. G.

The variety most generally grown here
under glass fcr the trade is the White
Spine. Why it is preferred to the more
tender English forcing varieties I have
never been able to discover, as it does
not begin to compare with Telegraph or
any of its numerous types, but the fact
remains that the eastern markets want
only the White Spine, and it does not
pay a man to grow what he cannot sell.
Many private growers, however, grow the
English varieties for home consumption,
and it may be that they will some day be
more extensively handled.

Cucumbers may be grown under glass
the year around, the winter, of course,
being the time when they are hardest to
grow and most profitable. For a winter
crop sow the seed now. Put two or three
seeds in a 3-inch pot and thin out to one
before planting out on the benches. Use
new, fibry loam, well enriched with rot-
ten manure. Set out the plants three
feet apart and train up on a wire trellis
near the roof. Some of the large New
England growers set out the plants right
in the soil that forms the floor of the
house, no benches being used. For win-
ter forcing I would prefer to set out
plants on benches, as they would then
get more light and air. To set a crop
of fruit in the winter the White Spine
has to be hand pollinated, a simple mat-
ter when one knows the difference be-
tween the male and female flowers.
Sometimes a hive of bees is put into the
house for the purpose of pollinating flow-
ers and this is perhaps the quickest
way if one has lots of plants.

Greenfly is sometimes troublesome, but
if tobacco stems are kept in the house
from the first the fly will never become
numerous. If they do, a light fumiga-
tion will do no harm to the plants. Mil-
dew sometimes appears in the winter, but
may be controlled by the use of sulphur.
The temperature may be 60 degrees at
night, with a rise of 20 degrees during
the day if the weather is bright. C. T.

RADISH seed promises to be a fairly
good crop in the Michigan sections.

It is stated that the Everett B. Clark
Co., Milford', Conn., is to build a ware-
house at Sister Bay, Wis.

The Albert Dickinson Seed Co., Chi-
cago, is erecting a seed warehouse and
elevator midway between St. Paul and
Minneapolis.

The Minnesota Field Seed Growers'
Association was formed at St. Paul. Sep-
tember 2, with C. C. Thompson, Farm-
ington, president.

Visited Philadelphia : Alfred Em-
erich and Le Gomte d 'Estienne d 'Orves,
of Vilmorin-Andrieux & Co., Paris,

France. They will make a tour of the
southern and western states and return
to New Fork by way of Niagara Falls.

It looks now as though the position of
the French bulb growers was mure or
less warranted by crop conditions. The
market at Toulon and Ollioules is report-
ed well sold out, closing prices on Ro-
mans, 12 centimeters ;nnl up, being about
80 francs. Some American jobbers have
had many cancellations on orders for
early delivery and American consumption
is likely to be considerably reduced if
this season 's prices are maintained.

Alfred J. Brown, Grand Rapids,
Mich., writes, September 5: "The pros-
pect for a crop of beans is not as good
as it was a few weeks ago. We hove
had entirely too much rain and many
crops have been damaged to a large ey.
tent. Even with the most favorable
weather from now until harvest, the cron
will be short, while, on the other hand,
if we should have unfavorable weather
or an early frost, it would be very disa»-
lious. The weather at the present time
is cold arid the prospects are somewhat
gloomy. ' '

A, Le Coq & Co., Darmstadt, Ger-
many, report under date of September 1
that the crops of natural grass seeds,
with the exception of the later sorts,
are now harvested and in most cases
crops have turned out larger than last
year. Prices in general will be about
as last year, but festueas lower. Phala-
ris arundinacea will see. Higher prices be-
cause of small crops, also Agrostis stol-
iiiiil'era ami A. vulgaris, Bromus inermis
and Cynosurus cristatus. Qualities will
differ widely because of recent bad
weather.

cited, the vine seed crops in this locality
are not more than twenty-five percent ,,'f

the expected yield. This coupled with

I he t,ti I that very little or no vine seeds
were carried over makes the outlook for
1904 very dubious. The crops of early
tomatoes are now being cleaned up and
the yield is only from twenty to twontv-
five per cent of that originally provided
for. Pepper ami okra seed will even be
of a lower average than tomato. All
bulb deliveries are much later than usual.

Some of tie Holland houses are refusing
to deliver orders booked at the prices
quoted last March and April, and refuse
to ship unless the revised higher prices
be accepted.

.T. M. Ltjpton, Mattituck, I.. I., writes
that Loug Island seed crops have been

generally light. Spinach was not more
than twenty-five per cent of an average
crop, and deliveries on contract have
been about 25 per cent of orders. Kale,
Siberian, has done fairly well, and is
sufficient for demands, but the surplus
stock is small. The Dwarf Curled Scotch
winter killed badly, and was almost a

plete failure. On cabbage the crops

of si standard sorts will meet the

demand, although not large, and there
is not mu<-li surplus stock in sight. There
are a few varieties which will not be de-
luded m Cull, the deliveries on them
ranging from 50 per cent to 80 per cent.
.Must notable aiming these are Early
Winnigstadt, Early Spring, Danish Ball
Head and Mammoth Bock Bed, none of
which are better than fill per cent of a
crop.

S. M. Pease, of the Cleveland Seed
Co., Bochester, 1ST. Y., writes that they
"have had very unfavorable weather
during the past ten d:
ing of sweet corn and
made but verv little

fur the matnr-
ins. They have
rogress. Some

pretty well ad-
grow from the
3 of rain. The

ery uneven, on

pod, on account o
harvest of beans v.

account of the difference in planting.
The late plantings will doubtless be
caught by frost unless it holds off for a
remarkable length of time; and we fear
that sweet cum will receive the same
treatment, as there are many fields that
are just coming into ear. "We do not
know of any that have passed the dan-
ger point. Field after field of oats cm
be seen, in passing through the country,
some uncut and some in the shuck, and a
large portion of them growing or sprout-
ing. ' '

Everett B. Clark Co., Milford,
Conn., says they cannot report very good
crops this season. The weather has gone
from the one extreme, early, to the other
extreme, late. Early in the season it
was very dry — latterly it has been alto-
gether too wet. The dry weather all
during turnip growing season made that
a very light crop. Kale was fair. Par-
snip, which received rain in time to savo
it from the same fate as that which tur-
nip met, was from eighty per ccnl to a
full crop. The wet season caused beet
to have a very large growth of stalk,
which, if it had seeded out, would have
made a very large crop, and as it was
made a fair crop. Carrot is very light.
Onion, which up to the last looked like
a fine crop, disappeared in the last few
days on account of blast, and some which
happened to escape blast we could not
harvest at the proper time on account of
long continued rains, causing a loss
there. Hence onion will be very light.

seed. Lastly, sweet corn is still in the
balance. A warm September and free-
dom from early frosts will give us a
good crop and, the acreage planted being
so great, the product of this section in
the aggregate would be large. But
weather continuing the same as we have

so far had, a great many pieces ci I

mature at all for seed. An early frosl
would surely bring this result. Only the
very earliest plantings and the best land
would' then produce seed, and the aggre-
gate product would be very light.

The Market.

The market his slightly improved since
my last report; stock is not quite so
plentiful. Good roses are somewhat
scarce but the shortage is not serious, as
asters are so plentiful and they fill iu
any existing shortage. Carnations are
arriving in better condition. Society
folks are returning to their city homes
much earlier this year and an early and
a busy season is looked for.

Various Notes.

Mrs. E. A. Williams reports business
very good. A large decoration at the
Pittsburg Exposition and several wed-
dings opened her season very encourag-
ingly.

and Miss Sadie E. Totten is announced.
Mr. Weaklen is manager of Eandolph &
McClements' retail store.

E. C. Ludwig has been very busy with
funeral work.

T. P. Langhans, of the Pittsburg Cut

the outlook for fall very encouraging.

Bloomington, III. — W. T. Hemp-

carnations seem to be off crop at

selves because of the non-arrival "i tlie
French and Dutch bulbs on schedule
time. Tailby says nothing, but is busy
sticking a lot into the mud that he
was lucky enough to get hold of. Violet
situation not so slow as with the bulbs.

Sam Twombly had a matter of 3

400 of them in his box on the 12th.

And the auction sale of stalls on
Columbus avenue came off! And with
more ' ' eclat ' ' than any other social
function since the latest Vanderbilt
wedding. It far exceeded the expecta-
tions of the most sanguine. (Philadelphia
papers please copy.) First, two at $75
and $80. Then a slow but steady de-
cline all through the long list of 160
stalls, till the last one sold at $12.50.
Nearly $6,300 was realized as premiums
alone, but since buyers get better accom-
modations for less money per stall than
during late years, no complaints are be-
ing registered. However, since there were
stalls enough to go around and but little
choice really as regards location after a
spore or so were sold, it is quite a ques-
tion why growers insisted upon paying sq
much premium. I credit the able auc-
tioneer, who so blithely caroled forth the
business capacities of each stall as it
came under his hammer, with a good
share of the financial results.

Various Notes.

The boys have come back from the
convention in the best of spirits, and
have some of the most astounding stories
to tell.

Wm. Eickeworth has leased the Fre-
mont greenhouses, on Broadway, and is
preparing for an extensive spring trade
in plants.

Claude Hurt has leased his green-
houses to l$g, Work, for growing vege-
tables.

Lyle Waterbury has started a commis-
sion" house, much to the satisfaction of
the florists in general, and expects to do
a large business this winter.

Berry, Lewis and Bushmore report
having' been elegantly entertained lev the
El Paso County Horticultural Society

at Colorado Springs, on th tcasion of

their annual dower Bhow, at which they
acted as judges. In their rounds of the
floral establishments they found that
William Clark had turn down some of
his smaller houses and was rejilarine.
them with structures thirty t'eet wide.
At Evans' new place, with Ed Johnson
in chaige. everything was in fine condi-
tion. The arrangement of the houses,
shed and office is fine. At Crump's
everything is in nice form, and espe-
cially good were the potted chrysanthe-
mums grown by Ernest Flour. Thokn.

The Milwaukee Sentinal of Septem-
ber 6 printed C. C. Pollworth's portrait
and a very interesting account of the
growth of his business, and the flor-
ists' industry in Milwaukee. It notes
that Mr. I'.'.llworth is something of a
"joiner," for he belongs to all the trade
societies, and is also an active Mason,
Knight of Pythias and member of the
Eraternal Alliance.

Japan lilies by Peter Duff, whose veg-
etables secured the highest number of
points in the contest for the silver cups
to be awarded next December. President
George Smith showed a collection of
fruits, among which was the Brighton
grape. John Hayes brought Lawson
carnations which showed skillful growing
for this season of the year. Mr. Wil-
liams' dahlias were not entered for com-
petition, but the exhibition committee
awarded him a certificate of merit. The
judges for the evening were J. C. Wil-
liams, Andrew MacArthur and J. B.
Davis.

Notice was given that Mr. Gardiner,
of Jobstown, will be the speaker for the
October meeting and Professor Britton
will probably visit the society in No-
vember. Professor Apgar, of Newark,
made some remarks upon the habits of
plants, noting the desmodium the flowers
of which have a peculiar movement in
bright sunshine, and the nvmphaMi, which
disappeared for 400 years from Egypt
and then appeared again.

The trade features here are good for
this season. The sale of flowers shows a
marked increase for table use, funerals
and weddings. James Hayes, for sixteen
years in business at Topeka, Kans., has
been visiting his brother in Llewellyn
Park, on his way to Europe for a two
month's vacation. Jos. B. Davis.

We feel that we could not get along
without the Review, as it gives us valu-
able information we need every day in
our business. — Adgate & Son, Warren,

CARNATION NOTES-EAST.

Watering.
There are so many different conditions

tn lie met ami often clillii ulties to over-
come that it is impossible in a short arti-
cle to cover the many points connected'
with this ail-important operation. There
are, however, a few rules which may serve
as a partial guide:

First. — Water only when the plants
require it.

Second. — Supply no more at the root
than is necessary to thoroughly moisten
the soil.

Third. — Choose such a time as will al-
low moisture applied to the foliage to
evaporate before night.

Very elementary rules and easy to fol-
low, would be the opinion of a novice,
and very true this would be were it
not for changes in weather, difference in
soils, requirements of certain sorts and
situation or arrangement of houses and
benches in same. These are matters which

demand 11 ght. observation and sound

judgment at all times. One can certainly
study his soil and know tin- advantages
of his houses, two things out of my power
to touch upon. From your knowledge of
the composition and nature of your soil,
construction of bench as regards provis-
ion made for drainage, whether raised or
solid, you can judge the natural capacity
of a bed to retain moisture.

Daily observance of the rate at which
plants are growing will show those mak-
ing the most rapid strides, and these re-
quire the most water, all things being
equal. This is owing to roots extending
their system in search of food, and a
proportionate consumption of moisture
may be expected.

During the next month we are likely
to have some warm days, accompanied by
wind and with ventilators and doors open
to allow free circulation of air, transpir-
ation is a matter to be considered.

With the above in mind and occasional
examination of the soil to the depth of
three inches, one ought not to go wrong
in deciding whether or not water is
needed. As to quantity, I have already
touched upon that. Any surplus which
must drip or drain away i- a waste of
water, a shiftless maimer of being sure

that at least enough has 1 a supplied,

besides being a means of carrying out
available plant food in solution.

The manner and, in connection, il may
lie said, the exact time of applying water,
depends much upon the state of the
weather. In the early forenoon of a
bright day is the ideal time to water and
it is well at this time of the year to let
the foliage receive its share in the form
of a gentle shower. This is especially
beneficial in case the sun comes out
strong after two or three days rain or
cloudy weather, and should signs of wilt-
ing persist in showing, a second gentle
spraying early in the afternoon is advis-
able.

There will be dark, stormy periods, pre-

eeded by a warm, drying out spell during
whieh the soil has become almost devoid
of moisture. Proceed with caution, watch-
ing the plants closely and, if possible,
delay watering until pleasant weather;
but should the plants give signs of suf-
fering, water sparingly between the rows
without wetting the foliage. Oftentimes
the plants next the side of the bench
are in need of water while the center
ones are not, as is proved by examining
the soil in both places. This condition
is often found in the middle afternoon
of a bright day and should be remedied
by a slow stream from the hose or, in
some cases, a water pot can be used to
advantage.

Care should be taken now that the
paths and space under the benches are not
heavily sprayed or by any means allowed
to become watersoaked. During July and
August, when the newly benched plants
are getting established, this wholesale use
of water is made to cool the atmosphere,
but with the plants under way and the
nights growing cooler and longer it is
not. necessary, besides there is a damp-
ness produced at night which is undesir-
able in many ways. Geo. S. Osborn.

CARNATION NOTES-WEST.

Temperature and Ventilation.

We are having some cool nights now
and occasionally the mercury drops close
to the freezing point. Those who grow
roses or other plants requiring fire these
nights will do well to run a line of pipes
in each carnation house to keep the air
dry towards morning, when the mercury
drops the lowest, and the atmosphere
becomes moisture laden. If the temper-
ature in the house rises above 50 de-
grees on account of the steam pipe you
should open the ventilators enough to
keep it down. In fact, nothing is more
lieintieial tn the carnation than plenty

It is not absolutely neeessary, how-
ever, to have steam around every night
when the temperature drops below 50
degrees, and unless you have to get up
steam for some other stock, I would not
urge you to do so specially for the car-
nations. On our place we do not grow
anything that requires a higher tempera-

never do to allow the temperature, to
drop to 40 degress or lower regularly
every night for a week, yet we do not
consider it harmful to the plants if it
drops to 40 degrees in the houses occa-
sionally, providing there is plenty of ven-
tilation on the houses and it is not rain-

lportant factor
from now until regular hard firing com-
mences, and at every opportunity you
should have the ventilators open, more
or less, according to the weather. Don 't
think on a cool evening after a bright
day that you will close the house tight
and keep in some heat to prevent the

temperature from dropping too low in
the morning. You can make no greater
mistake. Always remember that a pure,
fresh, crisp and dry atmosphere a few
degrees low is always preferable to a
stuffy, moisture laden atmosphere raised
to the proper temperature. I would
rather have my houses at 45 degrees five
nights each week with the ventilators
open than to have them at 50 degrees
with the ventilators closed and no steam
up.

Of course, in case you have a rainy,
wet spell you must turn on the steam to
keep the atmosphere dry, even if it does
not get very cool. A little later on when
your plants are in full crop you would
not risk such a variation in the tempera-
ture, as it would cause too large a per-
centage of split calyxes, but at present
the sun is strong enough to counter-
balance the effect of the variation in
temperature, and if a few do burst the
loss is small as compared with the cost
of firing, etc. Few of your benches are
in full crop, either, at this time. Nor
could I ever see that it harmed the plants
for the future. The carnation enjoys a
cool temperature, and the plants in the
field seem to take on new life as soon as
the nights are cool, after having stood
almost dormant for a couple of months
in the hot, broiling sun, and through the
warm summer nights. You can see it in
the houses, too. As soon as the nights
become cool and the sun is less intense
the blooms open out better and larger,
and the growth becomes heavier and
crisper, and covered with that powdery
bloom whieh covers the foliage and stem
when the plant is in perfect condition.

Close the ventilators at night and al-
low the temperature to run up during the
day, and soon you will see weak stems,
small, sleepy-looking blooms and trans-
parent foliage, and worst of all you will
invite into your place all the ills that the
carnation has fallen heir to. There is
hardly a carnation disease that does not
enjoy a close, stagnant atmosphere to
develop in, and a weakened plant to
attack. With plenty of fresh air, a lib-
eral supply of water and an abundance
of sunshine your plants should make a
fine strong growth, and by the time dark
weather sets in they will be loaded with
buds which will develop slowly into
magnificent blooms. These three things
belong together and when they are to
be had in abundance it is difficult for an
intelligent grower to go wrong, but when
one or the other fails you, then you
must be careful in gauging the one to
conform with the other. During hot
summer days the fresh air is lacking, and
you syringe to freshen it as much as
you can, and you shade the houses to
keep out the strong sun. Pretty soon
you will try to get all the sun you can
and you will be sparing with the water.
Conditions keep changing and your
treatment must continually change with
them. Judgment is needed every day.

PRICE FOR CARNATION CROP.

Eelative to a price for a season con-
tract for a crop of carnations, C. W.
Ward, of Queens, writes: "It is im-
possible to know what would be a fair
price to contract a crop of carnation
flowers for until one is familiar with
the market in which the flowers are to
be sold, and the quality of the flow-
ers grown, as the same varieties pro-
duced by different growers differ very

much in value. Considering the skill
of the grower and the quality of the

which the flowers are to be sold, is the
only true way of getting at the value,

ited price for carnations."

Seasonable Hints.

The very changeable weather we are
having this month will no doubt leave
its mark in rose houses, in the shape
of mildew and black spot, and the great-
est care should be exercised to avoid the
conditions favorable to the germination
and spread of these fungi. With this end
in view we must be extra careful in the
use of water, so that the foliage will be
dry lii-fiirc nightfall, giving ample ven-
tilation on all favorable occasions, more
particularly during the night, while firing
is practiced.

Even when not absolutely necessary to
have fire to keep the temperature up to
the normal, it is essential to have heat to
keep the air in circulation, so that it re-
main in a sweet and healthy state until
sunrise.

Shutting down the ventilators to keep
up the temperature to save a few barrow-
loads of coal results in the moisture in
the house becoming condensed, which will
show in the morning in the form of dew
drops on the foliage. If this is per-
mitted to occur frequently it will so af-
fect the leaves that they will become
susceptible to nearly all the ills the rose
is heir to and induce the very condi-
tions we are trying to avoid.

To keep spider in check we frequently
require more water than is actually

so often to such matters, and if they were
not of the utmost importance to young
growers I would gladly skip them, as
i1n\ seem so much like repetitions. But
even some of the more experienced grow-
ers are the better of such reminders, not
that they are likely to get into trouble
through lack of knowledge; procrastina-
tion is, however, equally fatal.

We may see a few specks of mildew or
a few black spots in the morning, and in-
stead of attending to it at once it is left
till some more convenient time, entirely
forgetting how- rapidly it makes headway
at this season, so that when we do find
time to attend to it we are astonished
to find that instead of a simple matter it
has assumed such serious proportions
that we are likely to have a hard fight to
come out ahead.

By keeping a careful watch for the
first symptoms of trouble and attending
to it at once we may escape much of the
worry, labor and loss attending an attack
of either of these pests. Kibes.

GREENHOUSES BUT NO CHIMNEY

The accompanying illustration is from
a photograph taken by O. A. C. Oehm-
ler at Gregson, Mont. Is there another
greenhouse plant anywhere in the coun-
try which hasn't a smokestack? The
Butte Floral Co. has neither smokestack
nor boiler, the heating medium being
water from springs naturally hot. They
need a little heat at night all the year
around, and the hot springs give them
all they need all the time. In fact they
sometimes have trouble in keeping the
control. Last winter they nearly cooked
the stock when it was 40 degrees below-
zero outside. The greenhouses of the
State Nursery Company at Helena,
Mont., are also heated by water from
hot springs, but the water is not hot
enough in cold weather, so they have to
use boilers also.

black spot. The fight to keep down spider
and keep the houses from getting so wet
as to favor black spot will keep us busy
for a week or two.
It seems almost unnecessary to revert

ruins the entire leaf. They are very nu-
merous, especially on Glory of Pacific,
Fee du Champsaur and Helen Bloodgood.
I have used kerosene emulsion but with-
out effect. What is the remedy?

S. M. H.

This maggot is caused by a fly and is
very similar, if not the same insect that

works in the same way among celery
leaves. Its scientific name, I believe, is
Tephrrtis. It may also be found on the
common burdock, and I have also seen
cinerarias considerably damaged by its
agency. There may be different varie-
ties, but the insects are undoubtedly of
the same species.

As to the question of a cure, the only
remedy I can see is to remove entirely,
and burn, all the leaves that can be
spared and then either squeeze the mag-
gots between the thumb and finger or
pick them out with the point of a knife
on the remaining foliage. This is a
tedious job, but I know of nothing that
can be applied strong enough to kill
the maggot without killing the foliage.
S. M. H. says he has already used kero-
sene without effect, as may be expected,
because the maggot is protected by the
skin that it leaves while eating away the
interior of the leaf. Poisons are useless
unless the leaf be first punctured, which
would be an impossible task. If I were
S. M. H. I would not worry too much
over the matter. With colder weather
coming the operations of most insects
largely cease and I think it will be so in
this case. While I have often seen odd
leaves injured, as were the ones sent, I
have never seen them in sufficient quan-
tity to affect the sale of the crop.

GARDENING tNDCR

GLASS

The English vegetable forcers are con-
tending with a new cucumber scab which
it is feared will prove a very harmful
scourge. It seems that the mycelium
thoroughly permeates the fruit and the
spread is marvelously rapid. Immediate
burning of the fruit is advised where the
infection is detected.

FORCING TOMATOES.

Where a continuous supply of toma-
toes has to be kept up, plants must al-
ready be under way, so that the fruits
will be ready for use when the outdoor
supply has given out. Successional sow-
ings should be made as the supply de-
mands. Although the length of time that
the plants will continue to bear may be
extended by allowing them to keep on
growing and setting fruit, it is better
To stop them after six or eight trusses
)f fruit have been set on each stem, and
jeep all after-growths pinched off as
hey appear. This gives larger and bet-
ter fruit and induces them to ripen up
in a shorter space of time, so that they
;an be got out of the way and re-
placed by fresh plants.

The plants may be set eighteen inches
ipart and trained to a single stem, or
four and a half feet apart and three
rtems taken from each. Of the two sys-
tems of training we prefer the three
items, as it induces the setting of fruit
nearer the bottom of the plants. The
side shoots prevent the center shoot from
growing too gross, inducing it to flower
before it has attained any great length,
whereas in the single-stem system, if
the plants are growing vigorously, two
and sometimes three feet are often lost
at the bottom of the plants before any
fruit can be set. Fruit can usually be
»et on the side shoots from where thev
take the upright turn, thus giving fruit
from top to bottom.

ers prove unsatisfactory, but for a re-
liable, free growing aiKi free setting va-
riety for general use, I have not found
anything to surpass the old. Sterling
Castle is good, though the fruits are not
6o large. It is a free grower and abund-
ant bearer and is not very susceptible to
the attacks of fungous diseases, which
render many otherwise good varieties un-
profitable. W. S. Croydon.

TEMPERATURE OF CUTTING BED.

What method is usually employed to
keep the temperature down in the propa-
gating beds) Ours, although shaded, have
stood from five to ten degrees higher
than the temperature of the soil. We are
losing a high per cent, of the rose cut-
tings put in. B. N.

From an inquiry at this time it is
evident that B. X. is propagating now
and using beds under glass, and also,
presumably, without any lire heat. If the
glass is siuuled with lattice or a white-
wash of some sort, and ventilation is
given, that is about all you can do. The
day temperature will go up in spite of
all you can do and it will affect the tem-
perature of the sand. To explain more
definitely what I mean, if the temperature
of the house ran up to 70 degrees every
day and receded to 50 degrees every
night, the sand would be found to remain
at about 60 degrees. As long as you have
no heat beneath the sand it is impossible
to keep it as warm as the atmosphere on
a warm day. These are not the ideal COD
ditions for propagating, except it be for
some tropical plants. I don't know any-
thing about the climate of Oregon ex-
cept what I read, but I fancy that the
same methods which we follow in the
east would be successful in the mild and
beautiful climate of the north Pacific
coast. In the east August or early Sep-
temberwouldlie considered a very unfavor-
able time for propagating roses, from the
fact that it is too warm. By the middle
of October we can begin fire heat and
warm the sand while the atmosphere of
the house is cool, and then we have the
conditions that give us good results. I
have seen hybrid perpetual roses propa-
gated very "successfully at the end of
June and in early July in hot-beds heav-
ily shaded, just as all the hardy shrubs
will propagate from the young spring
growth. As I don't know whether it is
hybrid perpetual or tea roses that B. N.
is propagating, I had better not enlarge
on that and will conclude by saying that
tea roses from the middle of October un-
til the middle of May are, in the east,
about as sure and easy to root as any
plant we grow. William Scott.

TROUBLE WITH FERNS.
A subscriber, whom we will call "Mr.
Altoona," sends a portion of frond of
Cyrtomium falcatum which was too much
dried up before it reached me to tell
much about it, yet I could see that tin-
edges were more withered and dried up
than the middle portion. Ho <iis ho

says he shades from bright sun and

daily; they water when a plant needs it.
It may be every day and it may be that
they want water only once in three days.
Yet over watering, unless it were car-

A. Kuhl, Pekin,

ried to great excess, would hardly ac-
count for the condition he describes. Al-
toona adds that on examination lie
found "small green bugs the size of a
pin head, ten to fifteen close together on
different leaves, also hundreds of little,
long, narrow, black bugs that cannot fly,
but crawl on the under sides of the
leaves. ' ' These green bugs are not aphis,
he says. He can find none on any of
the. plants except the ferns mentioned.

Now, I am sorry 1 cannot help Mr. Al-
toona, for I know of no crawling crea-
ture that troubles ferns. Scale, which
does not crawl, infests some of the larger
ferns, and the common aphis or greenfly
is sometimes troublesome on the adian-
tums, but I have never seen or heard of
"crawling bugs" on ferns, and the leaf
sent was not injured by anything eating
it. You must look to some other cause.
Is your soil what it should lie.' The
best adiantums I ever saw grown on a
bench were planted in good rose soil, a
heavy loam with a fourth or fifth of cow
manure. A good, fresh loam will grow
almost any ferns.

Mr. Altoona savs he used a formula

he had read that formula carefully he
would have seen that the five ounces of
cyanide, one quart of sulphuric acid and
one quart of water was the quantity for
2,000 cubic feet of atmosphere in the
house. He does not give height of
house, but if it is eighty feet long, twen-
ty feet wide and of ordinary height, side
walls, say four to five feet, this house
would have 12,000 cubic feet and would
need six times that quantity. Measure
the gable end of your house, find out
how many square feet there are in the
end, and then simply multiply by the
length and you have the cubic ail
of your house. And for every 2,000 feet
of air space the formula quoted above
is safe, except it he for such plants as are
easily hint by tobacco smoke. I'm those

A TRIP TO THE GAS BELT.

Having finished planting and estab
lishing our carnations, I had a few days
to spare and I took a living trip up to
the "gas belt" to see how the boys

up there are behaving themselves and
what improvements have been made since
1 last visited that neck of the woods.
My first stop was at Anderson, where
Stuart & Haugli are doing a fine busi-
ness. Both of the proprietors were out
of the city, so their able foreman, Mr.
Hyatt, showed me around. Their stock,
from beginning to end, looked the picture
of health and showed the careful grow-
ing it has received. Their carnations
had just been housed and were taking
hold nicely. The plants are fine. Avon-
dale, which originated on their place, is
their favorite pink variety, although
they grow a bench of Lawson and a few
hundred of several other pink ones. A
couple of hundred plants of McKinley
were in fine shape. They still find a
limited use for those two old varieties,
Daybreak and Lizzie McGowan. The
rose houses were showing some fine
growth, both of young plants and sec-
ond-year stock. Only the teas are grown
here; lack of room forbids the growing
of Beauty. Exhibition 'mums have
been given up, as they did not pay as
well for the room they took up as other
crops do. Not that they do not win any
premiums though; they always won their
lion's share and we shall miss them at
our show this fall. There is, of course,
the usual variety of miscellaneous stock
found on every retail place, which needs
no special mention. This firm believes in
expansion, as is shown by ground they
have leased next to their own place.

From there I moved down to New
Castle, which has been named the "rose
city of the west," and after looking
through the several ranges you can but
say that the name, has been well chosen.
The first place I struck out for was that
of our good friends, the Heller boys, and
a warm welcome is always in store for
any stranger who happens out there.
They take great pleasure in showing

sold too well last spring. Several houses
are planted to Golden Gate and they
think well of Ivory, of which they have
several houses, sunrise also has a house
to itself.

In one of these houses we came across
a bench planted with a red rose which
will interest rose growers pretty soon,
ii ■ j is cot owned by them but is
the property of Storrs & Harrison, who
bought it from the E. G. Hill Co., tne
originators. It is called Gen. McArthur,
and I understand it is to be offered to
the trade next spring. Here is a red
rose you can grow successfully in the
same house with your Brides and Maids
and it needs no expert, either, to grow
it. There are many other interesting
tenures about this place. The large
sheds, the coal cellars, the boilers and
heating system are all interesting, bul
time and 'space forbid. Just now they
are trying to figure out how they van
.1 , with two of their boilers what it now
takes six boilers to do, and do it easier.
as certain heating experts tell them.
Mr. Heller says that greenhouse heating
is to be revolutionized in the near fu-
ture.

After dinner we drove over to the
Benthev place, where we found Otto
Benthey and his force of men engaged
in fiere'e combat with an army of aster
bugs which were determined to devour
the finest batch of asters I have ever
seen. It is a new variety of their own
and these plants are being raised for
seed. The blooms are pure white and
four inches across without any disbud-
ding, and they look like white chrysan-
themums. There is also a pink one just
like the white, save for the color. The
stock in the rose houses is all in full
growth and healthy throughout, show-
high degree of cultivation. The
arrangement of this place is ideal. The
houses are built on a gently rising hill-
side, not steep enough to tire one, and
the boiler shed is on the lower side. No
trouble in getting the water to return to
the boiler on that place. Their pipe
threading machine must have saved them
many a backache while they were fit-
ting' up their heating system.

From here we drove across town to
Reiuberg & Weiland's place, where Peter
W.ii.iml holds the fort. He was get-
ting ready to drive out, so while he was
making his toilet his foreman showed
us through. Here again it was roses,
roses, roses, and roses again, all in tip-
top shape and prospects for a big cut
niter. This place used to grow
quantities of carnations, but roses have
evidently been found more profitable.

Just across from the depot is L.
A. Jennings' place and here we found

Mr. Bender, the grower, busy with his
roses, of course. All looked fine, and
after spending a short half hour I had
to hurry across for the train going down
to Richmond, without having time to go
back to see Win. Dittman's place, where
1 am told he is growing very good Beau-
ties. Oh! yes! 1 saw many interesting
things at Richmond, but this is enough
for this time and I am going over to
Richmond again soon and will perhaps
have something to tell then.

I just want to say one more word,
and that is I was glad to see the genu-
ine friendship that exists between the
boys at New Castle. You do not hnd it
so in all cities whore there are several
establishments competing with one an-
other, although competition in business
does not necessarily need to make per-
sonal enemies. A. F. J. Bauk.

O'MARA TO THE RESCUE.

Ed. Florists' Review: — In
with the rest of your readers I am always
interested, entertained, instructed and
amused by the contributions from "W.
S.," our own "Great Scott." Very sel-
dom, indeed, is there anything in his
writings to criticise or amend. But in
his witty rejoinder, "Mr. Carmody's
Humor. ' ' which appeared in your issue of
September 3, is the following: "Irish-
men, so numerous and prominent now,
have been coming here only for the past
sixty y-ears. There were a few scattering
ones before, but not enough to leave any
mark on the national character." Now,
surely Mr. Scott did not give much
thought to the matter when he made
that statement.

The Irish began emigrating to the
Colonies as soon as they were formed,
but the first great exodus took place when
they were ' ' assisted ' ' out of Ireland by
the late, but not lamented Mr. Oliver
Cromwell. The commissioners appointed
by him in 1652, to get rid of the native
population in Ireland, did their work only
too well. Bruodin estimated that over
100,000 souls were expatriated to the
Colonies. Dr. Lingard estimated the
number at 60,000. Prendergast states
that the total number of Irish trans-
ported to the Colonies from 1651 to 1660
exceeded the total number of inhabi-
tants at that period. The emigration did
not. stop there, but continued through
succeeding reigns. The next great exodus
took place from 1771 to 1773, mostly
from the North of Ireland, owing to
Agrarian troubles, the total number in
these two years being estimated at 25,000.
Spencer estimated the number at 17,350.

The total number of Irish in the
United States in 1790, by birth and de-
scent, is given as 1,141,920. That vast
number must have left and did leave
their mark on the national character.
It would be tiresome to enumerate the
men of the Irish race who took prominent
parts in winning the freedom which we
now enjoy. Twelve of them are signers
of the Declaration of Independence. One
was the "perpetual secretary" of Con-
gress. Famous in the annals of the War
of the Revolution are Sullivan, Wayne,
Hand, Heed, Mo\ Ian,

Barry, Knox, Maxwell, Stark, Montgom-
ery, Jasper. Stewart, I onway, Dooly and
many others, all Irishmen or descendants
of irishmen. The rank and file of the
Continental army was largely Irish. That
fact was settled beyond dispute by the
rations of the committee of the
House of Commons appended to investi-

gate the cause and couduct of the war.
The traitor, Jos. Galloway, who was a
delegate to the first Continental Con-
gress was examined by that committee on
June 16, 1779, and in answer to the ques-
tion: "What were the troops in the
service of Congress chiefly composed of?
Were they natives of America or were
the greatest part of them English, Scotch
or Irish?" Galloway replied: "I can
answer the question with prevision. There
\\vie scarcely one-fourth natives of Amer-
ica, about one-half were Irish, the other
fourth English and Scotch." Major
General Robertson, testifying before the
same committee said: "I remember
General Lee telling me that half the rebel
army was from Ireland. ' ' Lord Mount-
joy, in the House of Commons, told the
ministers: "You have lost America
through the Irish." Even Froudc admits
the same general fact. As early as 1737
a Charitable Irish Society was founded
in Boston. Washington was an honor-
ary member of the ' ' Friendly Sons of St.
Patrick. ' '

I might go on and recite much more
showing that the Irish race was a factor
in forming the government of this coun-
try, but am not writing a history. Suf-
ficient has been said, I hope, to disabuse
Brother Scott's mind of the delusion that
hardly any Irish came here before the
days of Tapscott and Castle Garden.

In the council and on the forum, as
well as on the tented field and watery
main. Irishmen were prominent in the
conflict following "the shot heard round
the world." As a matter of fact Sulli-
van's capture of Fort William and Mary
was the first real act of war, long before
Lexington; and, by the way, Major Bar-
rett, of that immortal day, was of the
Irish race.

Patrick Henry it was who boldly cast
all petty subterfuge and suggestions of
compromise to the winds and demanded
liberty. When the first Continental Con-
gress assembled and the issue was in
doubt, his was the mind and his the
tongue which fused the body into one
mass for independence. Sam Adams,
almost in despair of the result before
Henry spoke, exultantly cried when he
sat down that now the die was cast.
When the infant republic was struggling
with the royalist tendency which threat-
ened to make it a weak imitation of
monarchy it was Matthew Lyon, an Irish-
man born, who began the movement
which ended with Jefferson's election and
made of the republic a true democracy.

A few words more and I have done.
In Saint Paul's church yard, New York
City, the remains of three distinguished
Irishmen are laid, over whose ashes a
grateful country and admiring citizens
have erected monuments, viz: Montgom-
ery, Mac Nevin, Emmett. Speaking of
the latter the late Abram S. Hewitt
said: "Next to Washington and Lafay-
ette I think that Emmett has exercised a
wider influence on the formation of
American character than any other man
with whom our history is at all connected.
His associates who found a refuge in this
country were men of very remarkable
elevation of character ami exercised a
powerful influence in the formation of a
pure democracy.

I will not venture to indicate the source
from which American wit has sprung,
but am satisfied that if it is as stated by
Brother Sett, then undoubtedly it has
been clarified by and derives its pun-
gency from the sons and daughters of
Ireland. PATRICK O 'MARA.

SPARTA. WIS.

Death of Z. K. Jewett.

The announcement of the death of Mr.
Jewett, which occurred at the hospital in
h'ochester, Minn., September It, came
with the force of a shock to the com-
munity, the hope for his recovery haying
been so strong. He was taken to the
hospital in Rochester something over two
weeks before, his ailment, affecting the
intestines, having assumed a phase which
it was thought would necessitate a critical
surgical operation. He underwent a par-
tial operation and rallied at once to so
marked a degree that his certain recovery
was looked for, and he was about to re-
turn home, when all at once his strength
apparently failed and there was hardly
time to notify his friends before the end
came. He passed away peacefully and
without pain.

Mr. Jewett was one of our best and
most substantia] citizens, and more than
that, one so much identified with the life,
the business and society of Sparta that
hardly a resident of the city but feels
his death as a personal loss. He was one
of the older class of citizens, having
come here in 1865. His birthplace was in
Aurora, Portage County, Ohio, but most
of his early life was passed in and around
northern Illinois. He went to California
in 1858, remaining about five years. Com-
ing here, Mr. Jewett located on a farm in
Lafayette at first, but subsequently, in
company with his brother, A. H. Jewett,
established a nursery. He purchased his
lirother's interest in 1S73, and developed
a large and growing business in nursery
stock. His son, Arthur, and daughter,
Miriam, came into the business, the
former managing a branch, dealing in
packing moss, a conspicuous feature,
while extensive greenhouses were estab-
lished in 1897 and developed a large busi-
ness under charge of Miss Miriam Jewett.
The Jewett nursery and greenhouses ac-
quired a wide reputation, and enjoyed a
large trade.

He was married in the spring of 1866
to Miss Eliza Judd, whose home was in
Antio.cn, 111. She survives him, together
with Arthur J., son, and Misses Miriam
and Maude, daughters. His brother, A.
H. Jewett, resides at White Salmon,
Wash., and a sister, Mrs. L. C. More-
house, at San Leandro, Cal.

NEW YORK.

Institute Exhibition.

The seventy-second fair of the Amer-
ican Institute of New York began yes-
terday (Tuesday) afternoon, and will
continue until 10 p. m. on Thursday in
the Berkeley Lyceum building. The
prize list includes flowers and ornamental
plants, fruits and vegetables, farm crops
and implements, and an aggregate
amount of over $S00 will be distributed
in prizes, besides medals and certificates.
This promises to be one of the best ex-
hibitions the society has ever given. The
entries are numerous and the opening
day demonstrated an unusual public in-
terest. The limited space of the Ly-
ceum for exhibition purposes is again
apparent, and the necessity for a horticul-
tural hall in Xew York city becomes
more and more evident every month.
The grand room which will be tested
this fall by the Chrysanthemum Soeietv,
will demonstrate to the satisfaction of
all, I am confident, the necessity for

such a building and the appreciation of
a critical public.

The Market.
Following the summer temperature of
a week ago came one of the greatest
storms of recent years, almost local in
its character, but strenuous to a damag-
ing degree. Following this has come a
period of New York autumnal glory,
with sunny days and chilly mornings that
will fill humanity with hope and ambi-
tion, and make its influence felt in im-
proved quality of flowers and activity in
the business that has been so long de-
layed. The supplies of cut flowers dur-
ing the past week have been enormous,
and there seems to be no end to the
quantity. Everything is abundant aud
the surplus each day would supply al-
most any city in the country with a suf-
ficiency for its regular requirements.
Violets have recovered from the set-back
of summer temperature, and there are
new too many, even of greatly improved
quality. Chrysanthemums grow- in num-
ber and beauty daily. Before the end
of the month the autumn queen will agaiu
be enthroned. Some fine Enchantress
are in the market, and novelties must
again be added to the weekly quotations.

Various Notes.

Langjahr's new store will open about
October 1. He is refurnishing, painting
and making necessary alterations, having
hac possession of the premises since last
July.

Mallon 's, in Brooklyn, under the su-
perintendency of Louis Michel, is receiv-
ing its annual renewing and promises to
look as good as any store in the city of
churches in time for the fall opening next
week. Lou has been summering al lot

iron building.

August Ehotert arrived yesterday from
Europe on the Kaiser Wilhelm, and A.

last week, with a loss of several thou-
sand dollars, av.C Frank Mille:, of l)e
Kalb avenue, Biooklyn, had a fee m his
si ore that ate up the profits of several
Saturdays.

Enchantress carnations and Crowe-
anum ferns at Kaynor's last week, were
much in evidence, the former reaching
the top price for the new season.

The auction business began its season
at Elliott's on Tuesday last, and now
every Tuesday and Friday until the snow
flies the voice of the auctioneer will be
heard in the land. About a dozen of the
wideawake retailers were present and
picked up some palm bargains. The
prices realized were very satisfactory,
and among those who consigned their
goods to the tender mercies of Mr. El-
liott, I find the familiar names of
Louis Schmutz, Siebreeht & Son, George
Lorenz, Pankok & Schumacher, Will Sie-
breeht and Anton Schultheis.

A. Scollay has just completed the
building of two houses for Hession, of
Flatbush, two for Charles Weber, of
Lynbrook, L. I., and his largest contract
of the year, the conservatory at the
private estate of millionaire George A.
Sheldon.

Mackintosh has just installed a hand-
some 200-dollar electric sign over the
doors of his new store, which gives it a
very metropolitan appearance.

Bowe's new wagon is a beauty and in
keeping with his growing business.

John H. Carroll, of Thorley 's, has re-
turned from his two ami one-half months'
stay at Atlantic Highlands, where with
golf, swimming and other outdoor sports
he has had a strenuous time, winning
five out of six swimming races, and the
silver cup in the golf tournament on
July 4. He has some novelties up his
sleeve for Christmas that will throw his
trunks, chariots and automobiles of other
years in the shade.

\V. II. (iunther lias enjoyed an add.l
outing for a few weeks with his family
at Highlands. X. Y. While there he
took a trip among the violet growers
around Poughkeepsie and found an epi-
demic of typhoid fever in the Bahret and
Knauss families, eleven of the growers
being down with the disease, and C. Gr.
Knauss, unfortunately, one of its vic-
tims. These gentlemen have been shin-
ping violets to Mr. Ounther since 1893.
Then he could see his growers in that
section in a day. Now it takes two weeks
to visit all of them. AH the wholesalers
who have visited the violet section of the
Hudson report the stock as never havir"
looked better, and an enormous output is
predicted.

William Sampson, the wholesale florist
of the I '....can building, has decided to
forego the strenuous responsibilities of
the cut flower trade this season and has
arranged to join the forces of Thomas
Young, Jr. Mr. Sampson was with Mr.
Young for nearly ten years, so that it
will be like returning home to get back
to the old duties again.

have been Looked by them for I '. tobei
Some smaller wedding work was done the

stock shortened up considerably. White
roses became very scarce the latter part
of the week, although in colored roses
there were enough for the demand.
Bridesmaids are of better color since the

cool weather began, but some mildew is
noticed on them. .Meteors are showing
better wood and color. The top price for
coo. I stock is about $5 per 100, and $3
for the second grade. Quite a lot of

for these is goo. I, the best always selling
well at any time, Thi i hoicest bring $3,
and from that they grade down to 7-"i

ing every day, with fancies still very
scarce. There is plenty of outdoor stock
coming in, which is very small and sells
slowly. Most of our growers are not cut-
ting much vet from their housed stock.
The best sell ai $1.50 to $2, and the out-
door stock at 50 .cuts per 100. No
chrysanthemum blooms are in, but some
are promised in a week or ten days. A
few violets have been seen, but no regu-
lar shipments are as yet noted. Lily of

is fair tit $4 per 100. Very little outdoor
stuff is coming in. Hydrangeas and as-
ters are good; dahlias are few and poor,
and tuberose stalks are about the only
good outdoor stock that comes in at pres
ent. The green market is in good condi-
tion, plenty of everything to be had at
the usual prices.

Various Notes.

The members of the Florists' Club will
please take notice that owing to the
u. \i regular meeting of the club falling
on Oetober 8, big Thursday of fair week,
it has been decided to hold the meeting
a week later, which will be Thursday-
afternoon, Oetober 15, at 2 o'clock, in
Odd Fellows' building.

Twenty-five years ago last Thursday
the St. Louis Floral and Horticultural
Society was organized, from which sprang
the present St. Louis Florists' Club.
Among the most prominent of the organ-
i/cis at that time were the Hon. Henry
Shaw. Carew Sanders. E. A. Michel, Eli
Foster, .1. M. Jordon, Charles M. Ellerd,
Dr. Kiitiii Sanders, .lohn .1. O 'Fallon, Dr.

maii. Norman .1. Coleman and others.
Most of these have passed beyond, and
the one left, who is now a member of the
St. Louis Florists' Club. Carew Sanders,
is tit the present time enjoying the best
of health, having just returned from a
month's pleasure trip with his wife
through Colorado and Kansas.

R, II. Walker called on the trade last
week, representing the McCray Refriger-
ator Co. Mr. Walker says that their
sales have been big from their adver-
tisement in the Review.

F. W. Maas, of tin Plant S I Co., and

Adolph Corneli, of the Schisler-Corneli
Seed Co.. have returned from their trips
to Chicago. Roth firms are busy with
bulb orders.

Rudolph Win.lt. son of J. F. Windt,
the Bayard avenue florist, will leave tins
nek for New V..rk to accept a position
in one of the huge establishments in
that city. Mr. Windt is an energetic
young man and a willing worker. The
firm which secures In- services will not
regret it.

.1. I.. Irwin, who has charge of the
Philippine Island World's Fair exhibit,
will house his orchids and palms for the
winter at Old Orchard in the house owned
by the Michel Plant and Bulb Co.

The Bentzen Floral Co., on Marcus ave-
nue, reports that it is shipping a great
many plants through its advertisement
in the Review. A fine lot of pot chrys-

anthemums at. this place will soon be
ready for the market.

The St. Louis Fair Association will
open its annual fair on Monday, October
5. Colonel John Ayres, who is superin-
tendent of Floral Hall, says that the
usual prizes will be given for plants, de-
signs and cut flowers, and that quite a
few entries have already been made by
the local florists. Our friend. Max Her-
zog, has again been selected as judge of
1 1 xhibition.

William Lamar is still keeper of Forest
Park and it looks as if he will remain.
Mr. Lamar is a Republican, working un-
der a Democratic administration, and is
perhaps too good a man to dispense with,
and is kept to help out those who know
very little about running a big park like
Forest.

The Connon Floral Co., at Webster
droves, is sending in some good roses and
carnations. John Connon reports that he
is much pleased with the outlook for the
coming season.

Ostertag Bros, furnished the floral
decorations at the opening of the Mis-
souri Athletic club on last Saturday. The
de -ations were elaborate and much ad-
mired. Henry Ostertag reports trade
good in that line.

Charlie Ford, who represents A. Herr-
mann, of New York, is in town booking
supply orders and reports trade very sat-
isfactory in his line.

Bowling.

The Bowling Club had a delightful
night for bowling. Three games were
rolled and most of the scores were good.
Carl Beyer was high man, followed by
Beneke and Kuehn. all being in the
500-elass. The scores:

The ladies of the bowlers will roll their
first games on Wednesday afternoon at
the Blue Ribbon alleys, Jefferson ave-
nue and Locust street, and every Wednes-
day hereafter at 2 o'clock will find the
ladies bowling. J. J. B.

PHILADELPHIA.

The Market.

Business continues to improve in all
branches of our great industry. The
weather has at last been kind, it really
owes us something, bringing in flowers of
a higher grade, which brought advanced
prices. This is especially noticeable in
lleaiitics. Maids and carnations — Queen
Louise and Enchantress ideal. Jacob
Becker's new pink rose has made its ap-
pearance. The first single violets are in,
but are hardly at home yet. Dahlias
are arriving in immense quantities. W.
P. Peacock sent in 5,000 to S. S. Pen-
nock on Monday. The demand for them
is excellent. Valley goes rather slowly
now; it should be different next week.
W. J. Baker is receiving some nice yel-
low daisies. Robert Craig & Son are
bringing some nice Harrisii lilies to
the Flower Market. Greens are selling
better.

East vs. West.

street. For a long time the western
•district has held almost undisputed sway,
but lately the eastern has been gaining
in strength, while today the leading
wholesalers in that section claim that the
business center has shifted and that the
volume of trade done there is even great-
er than on the other side. It is stated
that P. J. Hauswith, of Chicago, who
visited all the principal wholesalers last
Saturday, said there was more business
done about Twelfth street than near Six-
teenth. Whether this is a fact is diffi-
cult to ascertain. At any rate, competi-
tion is the life of trade and both sides
will do their very best to keep up healthy
rivalry.

ity. The principal business is in the
roots. Six thousand dollars worth was
sold in one month, March. Plants
grown from cuttings and seed are al«o
sold in quantity, as well as the cut flow-
ers. Two hundred thousand seedlings
were grown this year, but very few
prove better than standard varieties. In
hybridizing a double cross is always
made, contrary to the method employed
by carnationists. The erect flowers of the
cactus varieties, and the French collar-
ettes seemed to me especially beautiful.
An interesting point is that the tops
mixed with commercial fertilizers are
plowed under each season, so that man-
ure is only needed every third year. Mr.
Peacock 's skill and integrity have won
him the confidence of all our leading
seedsmen, who send to him their varie-
ties to test with certainty that every-
thing possible will be done to develop
them and that their confidence will be
guarded. A force of from twenty to
forty men is at work throughout the year,
and from their intelligent efforts Mr.
Peacock gains excellent support.

Various Notes.

Edward Eeid is just returned from the
west.

C. A. Dunn spent several days this
week in northern New Jersey.

Stephen Mortensen, of South Hamp-
ton, is sending in verv fine Brides and
Maids to S. S. Pennock.

G. C. Watson's address on peonies for
the Germantown Horticultural Society
last week was full of interest. He told
his hearers that fifty-four of the best
varieties had been planted, correctly la-
beled, in Fairmount park, and that he
hoped in time that the tangle of names
would be straightened. He was followed
by Edwin Lonsdale, who gave some cul-
tural ideas. Mr. Lonsdale expressed him-
self greatly pleased with the size and
appreciativeness of his audience.

Last week's dahlia show of the Penn-
sylvania Horticultural Society was well
attended. Besides the magnificent dis-
play of dahlias, the finest ever seen in
this city, there was a perennial exhibit

half his stock of Beauties and Liberties
to Leo Niessen. The balance goes to
Young & Nugent, of New fork. As Mr.
Farenwald has doubled his plant this
season, this city will see as many of his
roses this season as in the past.

Harry Schroyer, of Lancaster, was in
town last week. His buyer followed.

Charles E. Mcehan is greatly encour-
aged by the success of the Flower Mar-
ket. The growers are supporting it in

states that their business
heavy this fall. He has s
violet pins, hampers, and I

Leo Niessen has reason to be proud
of the roses he has secured for the c lin-
ing season. With Beauties from George
Burton, Liberties and Beauties from
Farenwald and Brides and Maids from
Andre and Bcvis, he will have a collec-
tion hard to equal.

William Wunder is cutting some fine

Edwin Lonsdale recently spent a week

It is charged that the horticultural
press of this city is becoming a sort of

chronicling the arrival of "the people

MADISON, N. J.

Current Events.

The Pierson Sefton Co. commenced this
week the erection of a range of green-
houses for Dr. L. D. Ward, of this place,
which will, when the plan is finished,
give a complete series of model houses
for private use. They include rose, car-
nation, fruit and general houses, grape-
ries and melon houses, and are to be all
of the new galvanized " U " bar con-
struction. Dr. Ward is one of our mil-
lionaire residents and has an estate of
several thousand acres which he is con-
stantly adding to. His gardener, W. F.
Ross, lias a fine batch of chrysanthemums
which he is hoping to flower in the new
houses. A series of lakes and water-
courses form a prominent feature of the
landscape effects on this estate.

I called on J. R. Mitchell the other
day and found him busy top dressing his
benches of carried over roses. He is a
firm believer in two-year-old plants, and
certainly his record as an exhibitor and
grower of the highest grade of tea roses
entitles him to speak with authority. A
bench of Ivory was noticed here, and
while on this subject I may mention
that Beauties, Brides and Maids are
almost the only roses grown in this vicin-
ity. The novelties have got to prove
their worth in a very decided manner be-
fore the Madison grower will take them
up. Some few growers have a house of
Meteor, and at the Holmes establish-
ment, where Benjamin Gary holds the
fort, one may see some very fine stock of
President Carnot and Bon Silene, but as
a general thing one sees only Brides
and Maids, with the large growers run-
ning mostly to Beauties.

One not acquainted with the town can
hardly realize the magnitude of the rose

growing business here. There are some
sixty different growers, all shipping
from the Ma. lis,, n depot to New York,
and the scene on a winter's morning is
an animated one. Holiday times the
stock is shipped by the carload and now
there is a wagon express that runs down
by mad.

One cannot see half the establishments
in this vicinity unless he comes here to
stay a few days, and takes a horse and
lots of time. The fertilizer drummers
and members of that fraternity stay for
a week. Visitor.

The Market.

: has taken a brace and
have been the rule. The
at the end of last week,
which i educe, I supplies, may have had
something to do with the skirmishing for
stock, but since summer returned de-
mand has continued brisk. Monday was
a big shipping day and on Tuesday the
market felt the influence of the Jewish
New Year.

There are some good Beauties coming
in, fair stem and large bud, but a little
bleached. Brides are fair, but Maids
off color. Meteor is hard to get in
quantity, and only a few Liberty are
seen. Golden Gate is the most easily
obtainable rose, but with continued
bright days the cuts will increase all
along the line. Carnations are already
coming in heavily, and of fair quality
for the season, but the demand this week
has been equal to all receipts. Asters
are practically out of it. A few chry
santhemums are seen, and a small box
of violets now and then. There is a
brisk call for green goods.

To Rejuvenate the Club.
At a meeting last Thursday evening a
report was made of the financial end
of the S. A. F. entertainment. Approxi-
mately $1,500 was raised and there will
be a rebate of about one-third. Sub-
sequently the matter of the status of
the Florists ' Club and Horticultural So-
ciety was discussed at length, the unani-
mous opinion being that it would be a
misfortune to the craft should the au-
tumn exhibition cease to be an annual
event. It was agreed that the only way
to insure the continuity of our shows is
to have at least one live society to keep
the trade interest up and it was decided
to place the matter in the hands of a
committee of seven of the more than
twenty present, to report at a special
meeting of the Florists' Club. The sup-
per table an, iin, 1 which the discussion
was held was decorated with snme fine
blooms of W. N. Rudd 's light pink car-
nation, Phyllis.

The committee met at the Union on
Monday evening and it was decided to
call a special meeting of the Florists'
Club for Friday evening at the Sher-
man House, and a large attendance is
pledged. All members and those who
have the good of the trade at heart should
be on hand.

The first regular meeting of the club
fur election of officers is on Wednesday,
October 14.

Various Notes.
Among those who are disappointed that
the Kansas City flower show has bee*

tion cannot be held in the event of fail-
ure to find a hall speedily, none are more
seriously affected than H. W. Buckbee,

The Market,

Cold weather arrived with a vengeance
during the past week, the temperature
dropping over 30 degrees in one night.
It was not quite cold enough for frost,
but there was a decided shortening in
stock. This was noticed in all lines,
but in asters the supply seemed to be cut
<en two days. The demand for
them, which had been very good right
along, did not diminish, so there was a
d.ml.d rush for what few were to be
had. The supply of American Beauties
also went down and the quality of the
stock was also affected. Brides are not
sufficient to fill orders. Maids are more
plentiful and some of them are very
good. Ivory also is good and the short-
stemmed ones sell well for funeral work.

Carnations are coming better every day.
The floral world would be a sorry one
without this flower and its return after the
summer months meets a hearty reception.
Some blooms of Enchantress are very I

g I and tin an is in. trouble in disposing

of them. Many other varieties are show-
ing up well and soon will be up to the

standard. Some cosmos is coming in
now and it sells well. The market is still
will supplied with green goods.

Table Decorations.

On September IT the contest for the
prizes oil ered I Festival Asso

eiation for the best decorated table was
decided. This brought forth the finest
examples of the tlorists' art ill this kind
of work ever seen in this city. The ta-
bles w.ae truly beautiful, and the judges,
i t v ladies of tins eity, had all

Id .I h ide which was the

best. As everything on the table was
taken into consideration in judging, there
was some beautiful cut-glass, silver and
china shown. The table winning the first
prize of $200 was decorated by Eardesty
>S. I'... American P.oauty roses and valley
were the flowers used. The winner of the
second prize, $150, Julius Baer, showed
a table of very pretty design. Kaiseiin
roses and valley were the flowers used.
The green and white made a very pretty
effect, and the detail work was well done.
Miss Edith Kyrk and Charles Gardner
won the third prize of $100. Their table
was made up of plants only and was a
model in that class of table decorations.
The plants used were adiantums, pan-
danus, begonias and crotons, with favors
of valley.

There were seven entries competing for
the prizes, and those who, according to
the judges, failed to win, still received
much praise from the public and their
exhibits were truly worthy of it.

PITTSBURG.

The reports from different retailers in-
dicate that fall trade has opened up
quite satisfactorily and that the society
calendar shows many social affairs and
weddings for the next two months. This
looks very encouraging for a good sea-
son's business. Growers in this vicinity
say the stocks of roses, carnations and
Beauties were never so good. A suf-
ficient supply of carnations is now arriv-
ing; the color of the flowers is almost
perfect and the blooms are remarkably
good for so early. Most all the newer
sorts of carnations planted this season
are doing finely. Asters are no more
a glut and in about one more week they
will be done for this season. Gladioli are
still numerous and sell slowly. Some
dahlias are arriving but meet "with poor
sale.

Various Notes.

At the Pittsburg Rose & Carnation
Company's place at Bakerstown the
Beauties, Maids and Brides are looking
good and show promise of an abundant
crop in the near future. Some space is

also devoted to that oldtime rose, Cusin.
With them last year this rose produced
huge cuts of first-class flowers. They are
growing the following varieties of carna-
tions: Boston Market, Queen Louise,
Flora Hill, Lawson, Hector, Nelson,
Joost, Goethe, Adonis, Lillian Pond,
M.nning Glory, Genevieve Lord, Enchan-
tress and Peru. This place is the largest
in this section and the best constructed.
They consign the cut to the Pittsburg
( nt Flower ( 'ompany.

The first chrysanthemums reached this
market September 17. Marquis de Mont-
iimrt was the variety, shipped by Henry

Eiehholz, of Wu.Mle-bnro. 1". P.Ul'ki is

P.. L. Elliott, of Cheswick, is branch-
ing out as a dahlia grower. lie is cutting

Ernest Fisher has opened a flower
stand in the Pittsburg Market.

Frank Faulk has started a new enter-
prise in the Allegheny Market. He is
manufacturing a very good red immortelle
bell.

Breitenbaugh & Brother recently made
a floral freight car, six feet lung, two
feet wide and three feet high. The work
was well executed.

Gustav & J. W. Ludwig are displaying
a very fine pink dahlia which they have
named Ludwigana.

Henry Blind acted as "our host" last
Tuesday. The affair was a ' ' corn roast ' '
and about thirty florists and their wives
enjoyed the fresh, sweet green corn.

E. C. Ludwig entertained his friends at
his home September 17. The affair was
a stag card party and a most enjoyable
evening was spent.

THE INDIAN PIPE.
I forward herewith a plant I found
growing near Detroit, which no one can
identify. There were a number of clumps
in a damp, shady place, the stalks grow-
ing directly out of the ground.

B. H. G.

The plant forwarded is a fine specimen
of the Indian pipe, Monotropa uniflora
L., the type of the fourth sub-order of
the Ericaceae, a singular little plant
which is always something of a pleasant
stir]. rise to the collecting botanist. Its
pure white color and graceful shape and
its waxy texture at once distinguish it
from the rest of nature 's handiwork.
The Indian pipe is a low, fleshy plant
which grows parasitica lly on the roots of
the trees under which it is found, in this
region mostly under lindens, in deep,
rich woods. The stems bear scales in-
stead of leaves, and spring from a dense
mass of gristly-looking, matted fibrous
rootlets. Each stem bears one pendant
flower turned to one side, making, with
the waxy stem, a pretty model of a tiny
calumet, or pipe of peace. This strange
plant has, besides, a host of popular
names. It is called American ice plant.
bird's nest, fit-plant, one flowered wax-
plant, corpse plant, etc. The Indian pipe,
being a root parasite, can hardly be
transplanted, and the chance of growing
it from seed is exceedingly small.

The Market.

In speaking today to one of our
most prominent Sutter street florists, lie
complained that never since he had been
in business had good flowers been so
scarce as they have been during the
past four months. He called my atten-
tion to his windows, in which were dis-
played a half dozen jars of carnations
and about, the same number of roses, and
surely they were a sorry lot. ' ' Now that
the asters are gone and the chrysanthe-
mums will not be plentiful for several
weeks," said he, "we are especially un-

fortunate. They are the best to be had
and there is not a larger display seen
anywhere in town, but there seems to be
something the matter with the growers
for the entire summer and I cannot get
any good stuff. " I found that all our
retailers are of the same mind and many
of them claim they have been utterly
unable to fill the orders sent them by
their regular patrons. It is a fact that
good roses are impossible to get at any
price. They are either covered with
mildew, are "weak and puny or they are
off-color entirely. I have not seen any
fancy Beauties for months and Brides-
tii.i i.i and Testout are of very poor qual-
ity also. With carnations we have had
only fair flowers to offer and some of
our swellest florists have had to fill up
their windows week after week witn as-
ters and other common truck to make
any showing whatever. I am in hopes
that with the cooler weather that will be
here shortly I will be able to say some-
thing more" pleasant about the quality of
flowers grown in and around San Fran-

Notes.

P. McDonnell, of Alden; A. Galloway,
of Fruitvale, and Win. Bennett, of
Tamescal, are all building carnation
houses at present.

One of the largest and most elaborate
wedding decorations ever displayed in
California was that at the Hearst
county seat at Pleasanton. The oc-
casion was the marriage of Miss Apper-
son, a cousin of W. K, Hearst. The
Misses Worn were given carte blanche
regarding material to be used and the
verdict of every one was that it was the
largest and most artistic house decora-
tion ever seen in this neighborhood.

Sievers & Boland have been extremely
busy for the last two days. They have
made almost all the designs for the
funeral of I. Schwartz, the Gautemalan
millionaire, who was buried here. This
firm arranged a pall of orchids and
ferns that was about the finest piece of
work I have seen. » G.

Kindly let me know the safest, quick-

The safest, quickest and most effectual
remedy for scale on these plants is to
sponge them carefully with a solution
of whale-oil soap, or tobacco soap, and
if the leaves are hard and thoroughly
developed the solution may be quite
strong, for example, two to' three ounces
of the soap to a gallon of water, but [
would not use so strong a dose on a
young kentia leaf. Thi
ject to attacks of the large bn

would effect at least a temporal

The freeze at Rocky Ford, Colo., which
cut the melon crop there, is likely to add
to the seed supply of that variety.
Frosted melons do not stand shipping,
but they may make seed.

A. Ringiee returned to Chicago this
week from a trip to Colorado. He re-
ports business west in a very healthy
condition. W. W. Barnard is on an
eastern trip for two weeks.

The fine weather of the present week
will add something to the bean crop. It
will also help late varieties of sweet
com, and may change the situation on
other see. I staple;, which have not been
promising of late.

RECENT reports from Utah point to a
more liberal supply of alfalfa. The ex-
tremely high prices this seed commanded
during last spring causes farmers to ex-
pect good figures this fall and indica-
tions are that they will get them.

It is very late, but in some places the
harvest of onion sets is not yet com-
pleted. (Tp to the middle of the past
week quite an acreage was still unhar-
\este.| ;,t Chicago. Unfavorable weather
i- responsible in part for the delay, but
the variation in the ripening of the sets
is the main reason for the lateness of
the harvest.

On September 20 the Western Seeds-
men's Association issued its crop bul-
letin No. _, which gives a general idea
of the crop situation, and the associa-
tion's judgment as to what seed values
are likely to be the coining season. It
puts sweel corn and cucumber prices
high, and states that the deliveries on
peas will probably fall ten per cent lower

than former estimate on earlies and
from fifteen to twenty-five per cent low-
er on late varieties. In the general sum-
ming up the bulletin advises that dwarf
peas, wax beans, late sweet corn, cucum-
bers and other vine seeds, should be ad-
vanced and prices held firm.

Word was received at Chicago Sen-
tember 23 that the John H. Allen Com-
pany 's plant at Sturgeon Bay, Wis., has
been destroyed by fire. Xo particulars
are at hand, but the loss, if total, may
have considerable effect on the prices of
peas, as quite a quantity of Alaskas and
early wrinkled sorts had been taken in
by them, and it is hardly likely that any
large shipments had been made at this
date.

The cucumber situation has not im-
proved. Present reports from Nebraska,
New York and Michigan make things
look worse. Fields that two weeks ago
gave promise of fairly good yields are
now in such shape as to be almost fail-
ures. The reports at hand cover nearly
all the growing sections, and indicate
that the crop generally will be as short
as last year. With little or no surplus
carried over, the proposition is serious.

Frank T. Emerson, Waterloo, Neb.,
writes September 18 : " We beg to re-
port having experienced a rather severe
frost throughout the vine seed growing
section of Nebraska the night of Sep-
tember 15. We were in hopes the frost
would hold off until at least October 1,
thereby allowing a great many small,
undeveloped fruits on the vines to be-
come matured for seed purposes, but the
frost has checked all growth of small
fruit and it looks to us as though the
general crop will be much shorter than
heretofore estimated, as in making esti-
mates we have figured on the most favor-
able season possible. At the present
moment our estimates are all out of line
and it will be impossible to form any-
thing like a correct idea until we com-
plete another tour of inspection. The
early varieties of seed field and sweet
corn were practically out of danger from
frost, but second early and late varieties
were in a great many instances hard hit.
We cannot say until time has demon-
strated the matter how much these ero"s
have been damaged. A great deal will
depend upon the balance of the season.
If we have a number of heavy frosts in
the near future, quite a large percent-
age of the late varieties will be injured
beyond redemption. ' '

VALUES OF SEEDS.

The New York Commercial of Sep-
tember 16 says: "Judge Waite, of the
Board of United States General Apprais-
ers, gave a hearing todav to representa-
tives of the D. M. Ferry Seed Co., of
Detroit, at which testimony was sub-
mitted purporting to show the values
upon which duties should be estimated by
the customs authorities. The Ferry Co.
imports large quantities of seeds, and
the collector at Detroit levied duties on

price dropped before the time of ship-

much interest to the seed-importing

is being watched by importers. Judge
Waite took considerable testimony in
the case last spring and, with the addi-

hoped a decision may be made soon. It

BOILER SCALE.
In the Florists' Review I see some
one "nuts to know how to remove scale
from a boiler, so I take pleasure in writ-
ing this note. My husband has for
twenty-five years been used to locomo-
tive and stationary boilers. He says if
tie boiler is small use half a pound of
powdered slippery elm bark; if a large
one use a pound. Wei the powder over
night, stir it up in the morning, pour in
the boiler. Run it a week or ten days,
then blow it out and the boiler will be
clean. He has often practiced this him-
self and never knew it to fail. No
pounding or scraping is needed.

RANDOM NOTES.

Binghamton, N. Y.— J. G. Tully is
around after a long siege of illness fol-
lowing a- strained leg, which happened
just at the busiest time. Mrs. Barnes
reports a good season and has prepared
a well-grown stock in anticipation of a
first-class fall business.

Jamestown. N. Y. — Messrs. Roney and
Worden returned from the convention
right side up, and well pleased with what
they saw at the cities by Lake Michigan.
Mr. Worden has a retail business and
learned some new ideas for that branch.
Mr. Boney saw much that interested him
in the mammoth establishments adjacent
to the western metropolis, but was not,
convinced that stock of higher quality was
grown than can be produced right here,
and there is no reason why there should
be, for more favorable conditions than
we have would be hard to get. Stock at
the Lake View Rose Gardens is in ex-
cellent shape. Balms have much im-
proved of late, and are giving entire
satisfaction. Walter Mott has been vis-
iting the craft in Canada and Buffalo.
I understand the bulb business has been
good with his firm and that his second
year showed a flattering increase in busi-
ness over the preceding one.

Bradford, Ba. — G. L. Graham has
been busy during the summer, rebuilding
a range of houses, which will give him
a handy, complete plant. He grows en-

tirely for a first-class retail trade, which
is handled at his down-town store by his
genial manager, Mr. Valentine. W. C.
Rockwell intended giving up the retail
branch and going into wholesale entirely,
but the vexed question of reliable help
has made him change his plans. He has
a handsome store, ably managed by his
wife, a most pleasant" lady. Will" Gra-
ham and wife, of Binghamton, were vis-
iting 6. L. Graham at the time of my
call. They reported a good season.

Olean, N. Y. — D. R. Herron is making
preparations for a busy season; stock is
in excellent shape; considerable whole-
sale business is done. Llewellyn & Son
are growing roses for the first time and
have a promising stock. In fact, many
of these small concerns can give the big
folk pointers when it comes to growing
fine stock. Mrs. F. H. Johnson has one
of the neatest places possible. Her busi-
ness embraces the cream of the trade. I
was shown a fine specimen of lemon and
sampled a cooling drink flavored with
the fruit. It was delicious and fully ap-
preciated with the thermometer at 90
degrees in the shade. We have had a
few days of real hot weather, grand for
the corn, but not just what the florist is
looking for just now.

Hornellsville, N. Y. — W. A. Wettlin
is away for a brief spell, exploring the
wilds of Canada. His stock looks well
and at the time of my visit everyone
was busy rushing out a big order for
funeral work.

Corning, X. Y.— A. H. Woeppel is fin-
ishing a new place which will be the
most complete plant in the section. It
is a Lord & Burnham construction, five
houses, each 20x100 feet, with frontage
of 100 feet. Houses run north and south
with offices about twenty-five feet square
in the northwest corner. The cement

cellar beneath will afford excellent cold
storage. A work shed runs through the
rear of the houses, with ample storage
for coal near the boiler. Four acres of
fine, loamy land adjoins, located directly
opposite one of the largest cemeteries,
with a second close by. The location is
an excellent one and Mr. Woeppel feels
justly proud of this, his latest venture.
The old plant will be kept to grow
green goods for the present. M.

VARIETY OF FERN.
I send a fern frond and would liko-
the name of the variety? G. H. M.

The fern in question is Nephrolepis
rufescens tripinnatifida, a very beautiful
fern that has been in cultivation for
twenty years or more. The fronds of
this fern are divided in a manner slightly
resembling those of the Bierson fern,
but the stems of N. rufescens tripinnati-
fida are more woolly than those of the
above, and it is probable that the Bier-
son fern is somewhat more hardy. This
is, however, a valuable fern, and worthy
of more extended cultivation.

W. H. Taplin.

NEW BEDFORD, MASS.

The first annual fall show of the
New Bedford Horticultural Society was
held September 17 and 18 at the City
Hall. There were several groups of
plants arranged for effect, these in the
center of the hall, and along the side*
were the tables of cut flowers, principally
dahlias. H. F. Burt, of Taunton, winning
most of the firsts, but losing on general
display to J. K. Alexander, of East
Bridgewater. S. S. Peckham had the
best roses, heliotropes and geraniums ; W.
A. Johnson was first for groups of eighty
feet, A. H. Jahn second. R. H. Wood-
house was first for groups covering for-
ty feet. The amateurs contributed large-
ly to the exhibits and success of the
show. Arthur Cowee brought a first-
class lot of gladioli from Berlin, N. T.
Nephrolepis Biersoni, in the group of
J. H. Garthley, gardener to H. H.
Rogers, was given a certificate of merit.
The judges were John Farquhar, of Bos-
ton, and William Winters, of Mansfield.

Huntington, L. I. — Win. O'Hara is
cutting some very good Kaiserin roses.

ORCHIDS AT ST. PAUL.
Dr. Rudolph Schiffmann, of St. Paul,

is an amateur orchid collectoi who is fast
drifting into the commercial end of the
industry, having built up a larger stuck
limn is desirable for merely enthusiastic
reasons. At the time of my last visit he
was potting a late importation of catt-
leyas from Brazil. A collection of phal-
aenopsis brought fr.mi the Philippines
two years ago is said to be the largest
in the United States, if not in the world.
For .1 period of ten years and more he
has been collecting rare varieties from all
quarters of the globe, sparing neither
time nor expense to secure the best and
rarest. Hybridizing is carried on in a
systematic manner, a correcl record be-
ing kept of the date of fertilizing, the
parent plants, the date the seed
matures, the date it germinates,
etc. [f one out of fifty experiments
along litis line produces a promising va-
riety he feels well repaid for Ids work.
As it takes from six to eighteen months
for the seed pud to develop and mature,

and t In' -ami' length uf time fur the seed
tti germinate after sue 1110. and t he plan!
is two years old ur older before blooming
it is readily seen that the work is slow.
Dr. Schiffmann is very enthusiastic
over his "pets," as he considers them,
and in time holies to have the finest col-
li a in the world. Mr. Whatton, an

Kno|ls|i 21""''!' uf null' i'\|i.'i ii'itee, has
charge of the plants, and rarely has a
failure. Knell year I lie weeding out pro-
cess at this place puts a lot of good
commercial varieties on the market at
moderate prices. If an importation of

l.itiio plants this year contains ten plants
of an improved type the proprietor feels
well repaid for his effort. X. Y. Z.

ST. PAUL.

Bright weather has succeeded rain and
1 mid I In llowi rs are putting on re-
newed life and energy, and making up
for lost time. Outside stock is about
all gone. Roses are I. .coining more abun-
dant and of better quality. A few car-
nal ions arc being cut, and the first Fit*
wygram mums were seen the past week.
As usual, they sold very readily,

firing has been a necessity, while mil-
dew and black spot are prevalent

L. I.. .May & Co. 's greenhouses are look -
;ng especially fine and in good shape at
1 his time. All of the older houses have
been renovated and repaired, while the
entire range has been repainted inside
.and out. Beauties are in crop now. Lib-
erties are old plants, which have sent up
a very strong new growth. As grown
hero this is certainly a peerless varietv.
Tho new Ivory seems to verify all the
good words said in its favor. The
glow Hi is strong, while its blooming
qualities are just as good as the old
Golden Gate, The carnations are strong
and thrifty, though, but very few are
showing bloom. Enchantress is the
strongest growing variety and promises
to sustain the reputation it made last

season. It has always I n :i favorite

on this market. One house is devoted to
Adiantum onneutuni and kindred sorts.
Other houses are devoted to the Boston
fern and its improved form, i'iersoni.
Several houses arc planted to ehrysanthe-

The Weekly Florists' Review.

LINCOLN, NEB.

The floral display at the state fair
this season, while perhaps nol so large
as some years, was of fine quality and
filled every inch of the space provided.
l'n-\ & Prey, of Lincoln; \Y. J. Hesser,
-■f I'lallsnii.iitli: Dole & Sons, of Beat-
rice, and C. H. Green, of Fremont, were
represented by fine, displays. In plants
Frej £ Prey were tirsi, (item second and
Hesser third; on general collection of
palms, Prey & Prey. tii'M. (liven second
and Hesser third; on collection of ferns,
Green first, Prey & Prey second and Hes-
ser third, with the lesser premiums pretty
evenly distributed. In cut flowers Green
was firsl and Prey & Frey second; on flor-
al design Prey & Prey were first and
Creen second; on basket of Honors Green
first, Prey & Prey second; on wreath Frey
A- Prey first. Green second. The lesser
premiums were awarded principally to
Frej & Prey, with Green second.

Prof. E. H. Barbour staged a very
interesting collection of eanna blooms
that attracted considerable attention.
Mrs. H. T. Whitlock was represented in
the amateur class by a modest display.
The awards were placed by F. C. Cross,
superintendent of greenhouses and
grounds at the state asylum, and his
■work demonstrated that lie was the right
man in the right place and, for perhaps
the first time in the history of the so-
ciety, evervone was satisfied.

C. H. G.

Remsen, X. Y— Edward S. Pirnie
has started in business with a house
20x100, and an annex 12x30. He will
grow carnations exclusively and the stock
looks good. Mr. Pirnie is also postmas-
ter and justice of the peace.

Long Island City. N. Y.— The green-
houses of John Cassidy & Sons were dam-
aged to the extent of $3,000 by fire

BOSTON.

Poor week ; lots of poor material com-
ing in and a fair supply of quite good
material. Dealers claimed they could
sell neither until the very last part of
the week, when things brightened up
wonderfully. The crop of outdoor lilies
seems to be ended and other outdoor
stock is in rather poor shape.

Jackson Dawson, who lost his wife
only a few weeks ago, is bereaved again
in the loss of his son, Charles, aged
about 32 years. The young man has
been well known in connection with the
trade.

For curiosity drop into the old market
room on Park street. If it does not well
repay you it is my treat. It is the
queerest mixture of old ideas and new
ones I ever saw. The only new ideas,
however, are the difference in goods now
exhibited from what you have been ac-
customed to see, the new manager and
the absence of the crowd and its cos-
mopolitan phases. All the fixtures re-
main unchanged and make fine display
plat forms for a high collection of an-
tiquities. The proprietor makes no ob-
jection to your tour of inspection, but
probably will not act as if he recognized
that you ever had any particular import-
ance in connection with the room. He
may not think florists amount to much,
anyway, you know.

Late improvements in some of the
stores may be noted. Penn keeps up the
general fine appearance of his Brom-
field street place by generous use of
white enamel paint, and Welch Bros,
have given their ice chests a good over-
hauling. It looks like business all around
now.

Timothy Waters has joined the selling
force at Welch Bros, and is to represent
that firm on the road. J. S. Manter.

Aurora, III. — Mrs. W. L. Smith is vis-

Canandaigua, N. Y. — Fred G. Hawlej

The mosl practical decorative back-
grounds are to lie found in the use of

ude of such things as unsightly views of
ild grates, walls or doorways. A

iber of screen frames ready for such

imergencies should be found among our
iccessories. As many kin. Is of material

semi-transparent effect is better. When
covering is to lie retained, a plain (not
figured i goods should be used.

And now for some of the uses of a
low screen, as is shown in the first il-
lustration. Instead of attempting to
lill in a grate with plants— for it really

tnree sections
i is made by a

first section ;--

tracery of wood ferns. The third section
is covered with green burlap, on which
is a design of goldenrod ami asters.
Sheel moss also makes a very good cov-
ering for a screen. The wire frame ami
feet cit the screen are bronzed. ()ut on
the hearth in front of the screen is
where the1 plants should lie grouped, if
USI d at all. so far lich.w the eye line.

Another treatment for such a screen
would l.e tu provide a background of
burlap upon which is spread a design of
autumn leaves ami branches. Oak leaves
and sumac may lie used effectively here.
Tn ml, l tu the eolor effect a group of
auratum lilies maj l"- attached in a
bamboo pocket.

Before studying the design of the smi-
lax screen, let ns consider fur a little
how to prepare the smilax for this kind
of work. Smilax as it is cut in solid
strings is too heavy for any decorative
effect, except I'm- draping in large, high-
eeilinged rooms. The strings should lie
separated to make it soft and light ami
graceful. The effect is nut only better,
but so much more can he accomplished
with the material in hand. To he sure,

it takes time, as does everything else
worth doing. The string, as it hangs
separated, all except a knot, makes a
pretty design unit for the corner of a
table, a mirror or picture frame, etc

There is another niisshm, though it i-
ignoble, for separated smilax. In cuit-

MISCELLANEOUS
SEASONABLE HINTS.

Storing Cannas.

Before the frost destroys the flowers
of your cannas or kills the leaves they
should be looked over for any that are
not under their correct name. It takes
in . spert to distinguish the many vari-
eties in the spring when the plants are
small and not in flower, and it is annoy-
ing to find three or four of the wrong
variety in a bed that is otherwise most
satisfactory. Label them now, while you
know what they are. Cannas are just as
well left in the ground until the tops are
killed, but not so late that frost enters
the ground. Large growers may have
root houses or especially constructed base-
ments for the wintering of these impor-
tant plants. The smaller grower has not.
I have never lost five per eent of the
roots when placed on boards on the floor
beneath a bench where the house was
kept anywhere from 40 to 55 degrees,
provided there was little or no drip from
the bench above. A drip on the roots
will rot them, and don't forget the
boards. They will prevent the clumps of
roots from starting into growth and
save you the trouble of frequently mov-
ing to prevent starting.

Boxing Dutch Bulbs.
Two or three weeks ago I said I would
have more to say about forcing tulips.
etc. There is no particular reason for
putting off the boxing of these bulbs
after the middle of October, and when
any quantity are forced the boxing an. I
labor connected with it should be done
out of doors. I can only repeal whai
I have so often said: Use a box or flat
of uniform size. Twenty-four by twelve
inches and three indies deep »'■ find very
satisfactory. Any old soil will do. Tin'
soil that was used for last year's carna-
tions would be just the thing. Plant
thickly. It is a waste of space and la-
bor not to do so. A box the size des-
cribed above will hold seventy-two La
Reine or sixty or perhaps sixty-six Yelli.w
Prince, or fifty Von Sion. We fill the
flat full of soil without much firming
and then squeeze in the bulbs, which
leaves the top of the bulb only a trifle
above the top of the box. One good
man, with help to bring in his flats tilled
with soil and another to wheel them
away and place them on the ground
where they are to remain for the winter
will box a good many thousand tulips in
a day.

Place strips of board under the flats
in the beds. Thoroughly soak the soil in
the flats and, when the water is soaked
in. shake over the least bit of straw or
or buckwheat husks will do very
well, and then cover with three inches

of earth dug out from between the beds.
I like the beds not over six feet wide
and six feet between the beds. This
gives you soil enough between the beds
to cover the flats. This is all there is to
do for the next two months, except to
soak the soil above the flats every week
if rain is scarce. Remember there is no
natural moisture arising from the earth
beneath; the bottom of the flat prevents
that. While on the subject of watering,
don't neglect the taper Whites and
Romans which you boxed two or three
weeks ago. I have tried cellars, cool
basements and root houses for storing
these flats of tulips, narcissi and hya-
cinths, but they were never so good as
those put on the ground out of doors.

Fre.

Last winter the freesia was in good fa-
vor, and so it may be, for it is a sweet,
delicate flower. Some growers plant
them along the edge of a carnation
bench; others grow them in flats, and
some in pots. The finest, freesia blooms
I ever saw was last winter, and the bulbs,
or properly corms, were not of the lar-
gest size. They were planted across a
five-foot bench in five inches of good,
rich soil, a light loam. The rows were
six inches apart and the bulbs three
inches, and that is the way I shall grow
them in future, and plant, say 200, every
two or three weeks uironghout the fall
and winter. A great number can be
grown in comparatively small space. I
may add that the temperature of house
was about 50 degrees at night.

Carnations for the Border.

There lias been in the past, and always
will be. a good demand for carnation
plants in the spring to plant out in the
border to give the owner a carnation
blossom when he feels like it, and these
plants are seldom to be had in any de-
cent shape. You can root cuttings now.
They root easily and surely in the cold
sand and you can grow them on during
winter and spring and by next May they
can be in 4-inch pots and make good
flowering plants. Another way is to dig
up the plants in tne field that were
not good enough to put on the
benches. Plants of small or me-
dium size are better for this purpose.

Pot firmly in 4 or 5-inch pots and plunge
in a cold frame, well protecting the pots
with leaves, refuse hops or tanbark. Af-
ter ten days with the sash on remove
them and expose to the full sun and air,
and except in heavy rains keep the sash
off until you expect 10 or 15 degrees of
frost. You know the carnation is almost
a hardy plant and if given ventilation on
bright days and double sash or mats in
the most' severe weather, these plants

will come through all right and I xcel

lent plants for the garden. They will
give you more and earlier flowers than
the fall struck cuttings.

If you are a grower of fuchsias and
have had some plunged out during sum-
mer, they wiii now be ripening their
wood and will be all the better for six
weeks' rest in a very cool house, or even
shed, or beneath a bench, before you
shake them out and start up again for
cuttings. The riper the wood the better
cuttings you will get.

Hardy Plants.

The month of October, particularly the
first two weeks, is an ideal time to plant
or move the great majority of herbaceous
plants. I can't very well mention the
exceptions, but one in particular is im-
portant, viz., the beautiful Pyrethrum
roseum. Always transplant or divide
that in the spring. The peonies, so pop-
ular and attracting so much attention
just now, should be moved at once and
they will be far better off than if left
until spring. Remember that with her-
baceous plants you can only surface fer-
tilize for perhaps years, so for a planta-
tion of these the ground should be heav-
ily manured and deeply dug, trenched
or subsoiled. There is always more time
in the beautiiul month of October for
planting than in the busy spring, when
we often jump in a few days from winter
into summer, most times to jump back
again to our great discomfort, and what
can be done with great comfort and
safety in the fall should be done.

We are often asked to plant hardy
roses and vines, such as lonieera, wista-
ria, bignonia, etc., in the fall, and our
invariable answer is: "I should ad-
vise you strongly to wait until spring.
You will have no pleasure from them
this winter and will run a decided risk
of losing them." But if they ask me
to plant a hedge of berberis or privet,
or plant a hundred common hardy shrubs,
I do it, and if properly planted, there
is little risk of losing them. Such
shrubs as lilac, viburnum, spinca, in fact,
all the truly hardy shrubs, can be trans-
planted in October with perfect safety.
Do it early, rub off all the leaves when
lifting, and if the ground is dry, soak
them in. Leave pruning until spring,
as some killing of the shoots will be sure
to occur.

Planting Tulip Beds.
While discoursing on the tulip I meant
to remind you that as soon as the carinas
and geraniums are dead, some of your
customers will want you to fill the beds
with tulips. Don't do it for a month.
I am sure, and I have the opinion of one
of the best men in the country on such
matters, that late planting of tulips and
hyacinths means larger, finer and more
long lasting beds in the spring. Never
mind if the beds are muddy with rain
and snow; the winter will put all that
right, but there is lots of time before
that, condition will exist; don't be in a
hurrv. William Scott.

Wedding Decoration by Joseph M. Smelv, Aurora, III.

WEDDING DECORATION.

The accompanying illustration is from
a photograph taken in the New Eng-
land Congregational church at Aurora,
III., and "shows the decoration put up
by Joseph M. Smely for the wedding
of Miss Fannie Hopkins, daughter of
United States Senator Hopkins. and
David Peffers, the senator's law part-
ner and former private secretary. The
residence was also decorated in the same
lavish manner and the work did Mr.
Smely much credit.

CARNATION NOTES-EAST.

Early Firing.

Last week's reference to the objection-
able dampness produced by excessive use
of water in the paths and under tho
benches at this time of year leads us to
inquire how this dampness is created
in such form as will likely result in in-
jury to the plants, also by what means
can the danger be averted should unex-
pected conditions arise. With ventilators
nearly closed in expectation of a frosty
night, there can be but little chance of a
natural free circulation of air. even when
paths, etc., are in proper condition.

In ease of the excessive use of water in
places mentioned, the air will become
heavily charged with moisture, as is evi-
denced by precipitation on the glass in-
side, and, while perhaps not noticeable,
it is evident the plants are surrounded
with an atmosphere not beneficial to their
health. Having known eases where the
ventilators were tightly closed and pre-
ripitation could be plainly seen on the
foliage. I formed the above conclusion.

One reason for watering early in the
day, other than that the foliage nia\
become dry before night, is that the bench

ble, the air and sun during the day hav-
ing helped to remove any surplus from
the, surface. Sudden changes in weather
may catch us with soil and plants in
such shape as to produce this very condi-
tion we desire to avoid and to make mat-

ters worse, a two or three days ' cold
rain may set in.

In any case be prepared to turn a lit-
tle heat into the houses on short notice,
to keep the air dry and in circulation
through the ventilator at the ridge, the
advantages of which are clearly set forth
by Mr. liaur in last week's issue. Our
four boilers connect with one main and
by means of valves one or more can be

TOPPING FOR CHRISTMAS CROP.

There are varieties that natur-
ally produce their heaviest crop of
blooms during midwinter, beginning at
al«nit November l in I.! and keeping it
up until well into March, when another
crop of sin. ois stai is up and these come

a shorter time than most varieties and
if you can see the young shoots begin to

expect, them to be blooming again by
Christmas.

This is where the larger grower lias the
advantage over the smaller man. He can
grow twenty-five varieties, and each in

Christmas demand with a full supply,
but he can select varieties that are nat-
urally at their best at that time. Other
varieties will be in lull crop early in the
fall or late in the spring, or just when
these varieties arc between crops, etc.

For instance, you may grow Crane
for early fall and winter up to February

THE U. S. CUT FLOWER CO.

1 beg to advise you that the United
states Cut Flower Co. has selected its
location in Klmira. On which they propose
to erect, in the course of two years,
about two million let of glass for the
purpose of growing cut flowers to snpplj
the trade of the United States.

I may state right here that the United
stiites Cut Flower Co. has no connection,
financially or otherwise, with the Dale
estate, of Canada, but hopes to be al-
ways in friendly touch with the same.
The system of construction adopted by
the United States Cut Flower Co. is prac-
tically the same as is used by the Dale
estate, in Brampton and the general busi-
ness will likely be conducted along the
same lines. The excellent railway facili-
ties offered by Klmira, and being con-
venient to the great fuel renl. I of He
United States, naturally makes that city
a desirable location for a plant such as
we contemplate erecting. The general
management of the same will be in the
hands of "yours truly." The principal
stockholders of the United States Cut
Flower Co. are residents of Xew York
state and Xew York city. Believing
that the demand for cut flowers is hkely
to continue for many years the stock-
holders look forward to a very profitable
business in their new venture.

ASCHMANN IN EUROPE.

It was a pleasant summer Sunday.
August 30, when, with my son Howard,

Antwerp. The streets are wide and clean
and shaded, and we came upon a loveh
park, with a splendid band making sweet

surrounding the park were occupied by

I pie enjoying light refreshments and

the florists of Antwerp had set up their
tents along the Btreets and were making
up bouquets and floral designs tit remark-
ably low prices. Chrysanthemums, roses.
carnations, dahlias, gladioli, tuberoses
and the beautiful tuberous rooted be-
gonia were the favorite flowers. A beau-
tiful bouquet, eighteen inches high and
over, made up with roses, carnations and
asters, and filled on the back with ferns
and asparagus, could be bought, for 30
cents in American money. In another
pari of the park the pot plants were ex-
hibited and sold, principally araucarias
ami palms. All were doing a thriving
business and we watched them with much
interest. They were nearly sold out by
night. Tin. .itv of Antwerp grants the
privilege of selling at the park only to
the florists.

nearly all sold. The small growers sell
their goods to the large oucs and to the
exporters. Owing to cold, wet weather
Azalea indiea did not grow much this
year, and therefore prices advanced.

We also traveled through Holland,
Germany, and we are now at Zurich, in
Switzerland. Everywhere we find evi-
dence of the love of flowers among the
people, for every house has its flower
garden, every window its* shelf of pot
plants. They also understand how to
make good use of their pleasure grounds,
for in connection with (lowers many fruit
trees are planted, especially pears.

SAN FRANCISCO.

The Pacific Coast Horticultural So-
ciety gave a complimentary exhibition of
dahlias at the Palace hotel September
18, at which the display of flowers was
really excellent. G. A. Pope, of Burlin-
game, won the prizes tor best and most
complete collection of dahlias, for twelve
cactus varieties, for twelve show sorts.
twelve decorative and twelve pompon.
R. Lichtenberg, San Francisco, won the
silver medal for collection of single
dahlias and certificates of merit for seed-
ling cactus, seedling show, seedling deco-
rative, seedling fancy and seedling sin-
gle.

The Leedham Bulb Co., Santa Cruz,
received a certificate of merit for seed-
ling dahlias. .1. A. Carbone, West Berk-
eley, won a certificate with several vases
of chrysanthemums, including Monrovia.
Mrs. Fred L. Button, Estelle and Glory
of Pacific, and some carnations. J. M.
Halsted, Oakland, won a certificate for
cactus dahlias, and 1*\ Tillman, Fruit-
vale, received a certificate- for carinas.
Golden Gate park made a very large dis-
play of dahlias which received honorable
mention. The same award was giveu to
W. H. Crocker, Burlingame, for dahlias
and flowering shrubs, and to H. Maier,
Burlingame, for lilies. J. H. Sievers &
Co. contributed a handsome central
group of palms and terns.

There was an attractive musical pro-
gram and the room was thronged with
visitors during the afternoon and evening.
No admission was charged.

The Pacific Coast Horticultural So-
ciety certainly seems to be doing its
share toward keeping the profession be-
fore the public.

CHRYSANTHEMUMS.

Seasonable Hints.

Routine work, watering, tying and
feeding, is about all that is to be done
from now on and about all a man can
do is ,to wait for the flowers to develop.
Feeding should be discontinued entirely
as soon as the bud shows color unless
the plants are growing in pots, in which
case liquid can be administered longer
without any bad effects. All growths
should be neatly tied up so that the
stems will be straight and clean. Be
sure that the buds are free from black
and greenfly before they open. Green-
fly is very troublesome this year and is
one of the worst pests to get rid of.

Some of the early varieties are comin"
in and in a week or so the season will be
fairly under way. Mrs. T. W. Poekett
is already open from early buds.
It seems' to me that there should
be money in this variety. It can

evidently be got in as s i as Oc-

tober Sunshine and while about the same
color is a far more beautiful flower. I
shall look for a more extended planting
of this variety next year. The early
flowers will be very welcome if we only
get a good frost to clear away the out-
side crop of asters, dahlias, etc., and I
suppose the dahlia men are hoping just
as fervently that we don't get frost for
a month. Coombs is almost ready to cut
and another week will see several other
varieties in good shape.

The nights are getting vcr\ :

some attention is necessary as regards
ventilation. One thing can be laid down
as a never failing rule and that is, never
close the houses down tight to try and
economize on heat. Always leave a crack
of air on and if the temperature gets
down to 45 degrees run a line of steam
around the house. This keeps the mois-
ture from settling on the petals of the
flowers and spoiling them. A damp,
clammy atmosphere, such as one feels
when a house is shut up close without
heat, is the last thing one should have
when the flowers are opening. A night
temperature of 4.. to 50 degrees is all
right from now on, and if the buds are
mostly good crowns 50 degrees is the bet-
ter of the two.

Spraying overhead must be discontin-
ued as soon as the buds burst open from
the covering, that is to say as soon as
a speck of color can be noticed around
the outer edge of the bud. I have seen
many flowers ruined by the water rotting
the center of the bud, and this will not
occur if spraying is not kept up too
long.

The fall season so far has been very
favorable to the opening buds. Bright
nays and cold, clear nights are ideal con-
ditions for the chrysanthemum, but look
out if the nights aud days are both
warm and the flowers develop rapidly
and get soft. Then some shade will be
necessary or the hot sun will burn the
petti Is. We spray the entire glass with
a coat of whitewash and this will be
t.mnd the easiest way to shade. Under
this covering the flowers will develop
more slowly and give much better satis-
faction. Brian Boru.

TROUBLE WITH METEOR.

Will you kindly let us know through
your valuable paper what is the cause
of Meteor rose foliage turning yellow!
The plants seem to be in vigorous
growth, with perfect root action, al-
though the shed this season has been
something out of the ordinary. In some
instances they act as though they had a
touch of black spot; although not show-
ing any symptoms of that disease. The
foliage keeps shedding as fast as the
new crop is made. We have been grow-
ing this rose ever since it was intro-
duced and had a little trouble last sea-
son, but it did not start quite as early as
this season. Could it be that our stock
has run out, or is there anything in the
soil? We are growing them in a trifle
lie.-i\ iei -ml than previously. C. R.

WHITE SCALE.

In a bench of Brides aud Maids we
have just one Winnie Davis rose. It is
thickly covered with what seems to be
white' scale. Can you tell me why this
is as no others are so affected? What
shall I do for it I C. M. B.

Why the scale should be confined to
this one plant I cannot say; doubtless
there are attending conditions which fa-
vor this which could only be determined
bv local investigation. Probably this
variety is more to their liking than the
others', or possibly they were brought into
the house on this same plant and have not
vet had time to disperse, as they are slow
of movement and take a long time to
crawl from one plant to another, this
being their only mode of progression.

If these are 'the small white scale they
can be easily dislodged by the syringe, if
sufficient force is used. An application
of whale oil soap will quickly destroy
them. This should be applied with a
svringe and is most effective when ap-
plied hot, about 120 degrees. This dogs
the breathing pores along the sides of the
body, literally choking them. Kerosene
emulsion will also destroy them if applied
in the same way. Eibes.

THRIPS.

What is the best remedy to apply for
thrips on roses? Any information will
be appreciated. C. R.

Fumigating lightly and frequently
with tobacco smoke will, if persisted in,
certainly destroy them, but to this prac-
tice there are objections; it bleaches the
petals to such an extent that they are fre-
quentlv unsalable, but where thrips have
a good foothold there must be some
sacrifices before they are cleared out.

Burning cayenne pepper is a most ef-
fective way of destroying them, but this
also must bo practiced frequently to ac-
complish the object. Heat some plates
of iron till they are nearly red and place
them along the paths, then put a table-
spoonful of the pepper on each, begin-
ning at the end of the house farthest
from the door, and get out as quickly as
possible, as the fumes are very disagree-
able, even dangerous. Four such plates
are sufficient to fill a house 25x100 feet.
All affected buds should be picked off
and burned. Keep the paths and floor
clear of weeds and rubbish, as these af-
ford a shelter which it is hard to reach
with any kind of fumes. Eibes.

THE SHASTA DAISY.
What is the proper treatment for
Shasta daisy to have it in bloom for
spring trade in Ohio? T. C. B.

I would say that is a question of what
size plant you desire. Plants that were
grown out of doors in pots this summer.
or those planted out and lifted at this
time and kept cool during winter, will
make a splendid Easter plant. If a smal-
ler plant is desired, then cuttings put in
now and grown on with an occasional
pinching and successive shifts would
make a very neat plant in a 5-inch pot
by next April. These daisies, or properly
chrysanthemums, are most excellent
houBe plants and we have noticed large
plants sold to our customers at Easter
flowering in great profusion in the win-
dows six months later. Not many of our
greenhouse plants will do that. I have
never tried the Shasta daisy in pans, but
the common Paris daisy makes a verv
salable 6 or 8-inch pan for Easter. For
this purpose flowering tips from the
large plants should be put in the sand in
January and when rooted they should be
planted two inches apart in the pan. If
Easter is late, defer propagating until
the middle of February.

William Scott.

AMARYLLIS.

I have quite a lot of Amaryllis vittata,
Jolmsoni, etc., and some bulbs of Crinum
fimbriatum. Some of them are in pots
and others planted out. Will they keep
through the winter if dried and stored
like spotted ealla? I have always kept
them in the cellar in the pots, but I have
not room to store them all that way this
winter. L. M. G.

Supposing these plants flowered the
past summer, it would be poor treat-
ment to shake off all the soil and keep
them dry during winter. Those that
have been planted out must, of course,
be lifted before hard frost, as neither
amaryllis or crinum could be kept out of
doors, even with the greatest protection,
in the state of Vermont. Lift them, pre-
serving all the roots you can, and tread
them in in flats with five or six inches
of soil, and don't dry off too suddenly;
withhold water by degrees, and a month
after lifting the flats can be stored be-
neath a bench. Under a carnation bench
would be an excellent place for them, as
you would be starting them again in the
spring before much water would be drip-
ping through the carnation bed. Those
that are in pots by all means leave in
pots. From October to, say February,
they can be stood beneath a bench in
some cool house. Most of these plants
are evergreen, and although they rest
during winter they by no means want to
be dust dry. William Scott.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR.

To say that I am pleased with your
valuable paper would be saying some-
thing very old. My wife and children
also read the Review; it keeps up their
interest and confidence in the business
I am engaged in, which is of no small
value to me some days when the sun
does not shine. Am much interested
in your articles on seedling longiflorum
lilies, having experimented with them
the last seven years with an aim to
propagation, but with poor results. Am
also in with peonies a little. When
plants are advertised 1 often see the

statement made that the varieties are
not subject to any disease, but this
year I notice a trouble which started at
blooming time. The top leaves would
show little black spots, as though
punctured by a fly, which spots would
grow in size, so that by now the tops
on most are dried up and black. Some
plants of officinalis dried up entirely
shortly after blooming, apparently of
the same trouble, and in consequence
the eyes for next year are very feeble.
Would spraying with Bordeaux mixture
help if done during the growing season?
I see that a four-year-old plant of the
Chinese section has died this summer,
one eye after another, until all the roots
were found to be rotten, while the
plants around it seem all right.

MADISON, N. J.

Current Comment.

I had an interesting chat the other
day with,, a veteran rose grower, and
from him obtained much information con-
cerning the1 early days of the rose grow-
ing industry in this town. It is now
thirty-eight years since roses were first
shipped regularly from here to New
York, Mr. Littlejohn, the gardener for
Judge Lathrop, being the pioneer, the
Bryce place and E. V. Howard coming
next. In those days Cornelia Cook was
the great white and Bon Silene was also
largely grown. The roses were, shipped
in small tin boxes, with a large padlock
attached, a key for which was kept at
each end of the line. Nowadays a 6-foot
box is used and the padlock is no more.

One of the old time places still pro-
uuces roses of — e first class. This is
the old Slaughter place, now leased by
Elwood Brant. There are some seven-
teen houses here, accommodating about
30,000 plants. Beauties are the chief
crop grown, with teas along the front
benches. Two houses of Liberty and
one of Meteor are also grown. The
houses are antiquated compared with the
modern standard, but the stock looks
very good indeed and reflects great credit
on Mr. Brant. He is a shrewd young
man who is forging ahead and is part
lessee with his brother of the immense
rose houses of Peter Crowe, of Utica,
N. Y.

Most of the largest growers here live,
as Mr. Dooley would say, ' ' beyant the
thracks, ' ' or above the railroad. Just
a stone's throw from Mr. Brant is the
handsome range of Henry Hentz, Jr. It
is a modern plant, complete in every par-
ticular, and is of the most enduring con-
struction. Beauties are chiefly grown.
One house that has been changed to
solid beds shows up much finer than the
benched stock. One smaller house of
'mums were fine, as even a lot of stock
as I ever saw, Appleton, Helen Bloodgood
and Bonnaffon being the varieties grown.
Mr. Hentz is a partner of the firm of
Moore, Hentz &. Nash, which is the donor
of the special medals offered at the show
every year by the local horticultural so-
ciety. These* medals are awarded to the
actual growers of the winning flowers
and competition for them has always
beer* close.

Not far from the last named establish-
ments are the plants of Louis M. and
Louis A. Noe, father and son respec-
tively, the Beauty kings of Madison.
Each has some nineteen or twenty houses
200 feet long and the stock can only be

described as splendid. About 100,000
rose plants are accommodated in these
houses and the product has for years
been known far and wide. System, order
and cleanliness are everywhere apparent
and here, as everywhere else, it proves
that the man who keeps his place paint-
ed and up-to-date is the man who makes
the success, of his business. The young
Mr. Noe has a palatial dwelling com-
manding a view of as pretty a piece of
country as can be found in this broad
land. No visitor to this town should miss
seeing this model establishment of the
Noes.

There are several other large places in
this vicinity, but lack of time prevented
any further examination, and one gets
tired seeing house after house, nothing
but ruses. There is no reason why ruses
should grow any better here than else-
where. While the soil is good it is no
better than can be found in any section
of the country, anil the reason why the
business has become so localized is sim-
ply because the early establishments
have served as schools for the later fol-
lows to graduate from. VISITOR.

CHICAGO.

The Market.

The local retailers have been very
much disappointed with the business this
week, having anticipated considerable
increase as the result of the centennial
celebration, which has filled the city with
visitors. Of course, there are a few-
large orders, resulting from the enter
tainment of prominent guests, and 'lee-
orations for store openings, but nothing
in which the trade at large can share.
Shipping trade has been good, however,
and the wholesalers are not complaining.

There has been a large increase in the
receipts of Beauties and all require-
ments can now be met without difficulty
and even with some concession in quoted
rates. Good Brides and .Maids are
scarce, but there is plenty of low-grade
stock. Chatenay is plentiful, but good,
and red roses are also in better supply.
Carnations are very good for the season
and are so plentiful that they leave little
opening for the late asters. A few
chrysanthemums are coming in. and sell

g I and green goods plentiful.

The Market.

Trade during the past two weeks has
been somewhat irregular, yet on the whole
very good. A few large weddings about
tie- mi. Idle of September cleared up stock
and. with small decorations, everything
has been moving nicely. Retail and
wholesale men, with scarcely any excep-

t claim a good margin over last

year's business, while the prospects for
( (ctober are very bright.
Notes.

The decoration put up this week by J.
S. Simmons for the Canadian night at
Masonic lodge was very unique. Maple
leaves and palms were used for banking,
while baskets of dahlias and roses were
used tor floral work. Some baskets in
tho form of ships aud automobiles were
used to good effect.

Geo. Card, of l-'ape avenue, took unto
himself a wife this week. They have
gone on a trip through the eastern states.

H. Endean, of St. Lawrence market,
reports prospects very good for the com-
ing season. The new St. Lawrence mar-
ket has not been a great success financial-
ly for those doing business there. How-
ever, Mr. Endean has stuck faithfully to
it right through and notices a gradual

improvement in business and others give
encouraging reports.

The Market.

Trade among the retailers is reported
as slow in all lines. The cool spell did
not last long enough, the weather having
I.e.-. nne quite warm again, and the cut
flower displays have disappeared from
the show windows of the retailers. The
glowers say that a good, hard frost is

i led to start the business up for good.

There is every evidence that the coming
season will be an improvement over tho
Ias1 from a business standpoint. A look
through the wholesale houses several

(lines the past week showed plenty of Well

grown stock of all kinds, with very littlo
demand, conditions just opposite to those
of the previous week. The cut stock that
is in is of very good quality, especially
the roses, which have good color and foli-
age. Prices on choice Brides, Maids and
Meteors range from $6 down to $2 per
100. Perles sell slowly at this time of the
year. Beauties are selling fairly well,
with a good supply in the market at
present. The choice this week bring $3
per d,,/en and the shorts bring 75 cents.
Carnations are more plentiful than they
have been for some time, but the demand
has been slow. Fancies sell well, but for
common stock there is hardly any de-
man. 1. Short outdoor stock nearly all

cents for short stock. A few chrysanthe-
mums are coming in, but not enough to
quote prices on. A few violets also are
in, but they are not good enough to put
on the market. Valley is of good qual-
ity and the market is fairly well supplied.
Outdoor stock is about over, very little
of it coming in at present. Single tuhe-
roses are still selling well, at $4 per 100
stalks. Smilax is in rather good supply,
but the demand is rather slow. In other
greens the market is in a healthy eondi-

Carnations are increasing in quantity,
all the wholesale houses having more
Sowers this week. The quality is very
fair and their place is ready, asters being

Loss at West Chester.

A severe hail storm passed over West
Chester about four o'clock on Sunday
afternoon, doing great damage at the
greenhouses of Joseph Kift ..v. Son and
Hoopes, Bro. & Thomas. The loss at

tees was great to both glass and
plants. Photographs seen at the city

applies to many thin"-, bowling among
others. This week (Friday, October 2)
a great match is to be started on the
home alleys, wholesalers vs. retailers.

Walter X. Yates, who did such fine work
in his maiden match at Milwaukee, and
the latter, it was expected, by the re-

The Market.

It looks as if all chrysanthemums will
be late about this eity; even the earliest
varieties are very backward and will not
be in much before October 10, if then.
During the past couple of seasons earlv
munis have not been all that could be de-
sired. Last year Estelle was the first of
good quality "and it sold well. This year
the same variety is looking very prom-
ising and will doubtless keep up its rec-
ord.

There, is a lively demand for all kinds
of stock, and. though the supply is some-
what! limited, there is enough good stock
to make the daily sales run up pretty
high. Tie' present weather is good on
all kinds of stock and its continuance will
greatly improve the quality. Beauties of
very good quality are to' be had. The
longest stems inn about thirty inches and
bring $2.50 to $3 per dozen. Medium-

sten I ones always seem to have the

call. Other roses are much the same as
last week as to quality, but the supply
has about doubled. Asters and gladioli
are still holding on and some very fair
stock is to be had. Carnation receipts
are increasing dailv. Thev sell readilv.
The B. K. & B. 'Floral Co., of Rich-
mond, Ind., is sending in some very g 1

blooms of Dorothy, Harry Fenn. Rich-
mond Gem, Gov. Lowndes and Enchant-
ress. Cactus dahlias are seen now and
then and are the only kind that will sell.
Lily of the valley is scarce at present.

Mrs. Herman Sehlachter, while riding
to the city from her home on Spring

The Weekly Florists' Review,

Current Comment.
i we lia\ c escaped frost, and 3 et

outside flowers are on the ragged edge
and will soon be all over. Dahlias are
little grown in this neighborhood. As-
ters are about over. Fine gladioli e,.mo
in from Rochester. That most brilliant,
fine keeping variety, 1900, seems une-
qualled in its class. Cosmos, that most
1 leant i t'ul decorative flower, is about
ready to give us its pretty blossoms
when Jack Frost appears. So we will
soon bo busy again with the same old
reliables that form our stork in trade
year after year. Roses are gaining in
quantity and quality and good ones find
a read} sale. A few violets are seen
occasionally, but they are as yet only an
.aims,- in] the sweei little blue gems.
Some very fair carnations are offered
and find a ready sale. The best we have
seen yet are Boston Market for white,
the Marquis and Joost for pink, and of
course the wonderful Enchantress in its
color. A bunch of this just now re-
minds you of the joyous time when you
first saw developing, day by day, the
vigor, habit and bursting buds of the
immortal Lawson. Later on we expect
to feast our vision on a much larger
bench of Prosperity, and perhaps Harlo-
warden will start us dancing the High-
laud Fling, but that is to come later.

There are a good lot of 'mums in this
neighborhood. C. F. Christensen has a
fine house of useful varieties. J. H. Reb-
Btock, on Elmwood avenue, has several
benches in good order. Mrs. Schoenhut,
on William street, has a new house,
erected last spring, filled with good com-
mercial varieties, and William Eahman,
■who rents the Troup establishment at
Corfu, has 12,000 very promising plants.
David .1. Scott, who runs papa's place at
the above village, has 1.500 single-stemmed
Robert Halliday. This fine yellow seems
very early this year. Buds the size of
silver dollars and showing color should
mean flowers to cut by October 10. D. J.
S. has also a very 'fine dark seedling,
to which he is very attentive and which
he has named Edith. It is his intention
eventually to discard all other varieties'.

It has not been our good luck to meet
many of the visitors who have called o*
late, but we did not miss them all. J.
D. Eisele, of Riverton, and G. P. Clark.
of Henry A. Freer, both found their way
out to Corfu and we felt honored ; also
Mr. Miller and wife, of East New York.
L. I., just on a little holiday trip, and
Edward Fancourt, who talks ribbons -1
glibly and artistically for S. S. Pennock.
These were a feu of the visitors, and
there was another one, whom we are al-
ways glad to see, Phil Hauswirth, of
■ k- since in- was
here, but we still recollect his remarks.
They did not seem to relate to wholesaler,
retailer or the grower. He said: "The
track was fine, especially for mud
horses;" "attenihimo poor;'' "odds
good;" "dope correct;" "talent off"
and much other technical phra-ool,,-\
which was all Sanscrit to me. W. S.

Wiiex a man 's advertising shows that
he is thoroughly interested in his busi-
ness, his business is sure to b.
foresting to others.

Lett

We

LETTUCE,
seed should be sown at reg-

ils, a< ding to requirements.

r begin sowing for the first
indoor crop about the middle of Sep-
tember, so that we can have them ready
to succeed those grown in frames, which
we depend on to supply us until around
the holidays. Though we have had let-
tuce in eight weeks from time of sowing,
it is better to allow them about ten
weeks, as progress so much depends on
the brightness of the weather. Suitabil-
ity of the house and situation must also
have considerable influence on the length
of time required to mature, and the
grower can only judge for himself what
allowance he must make in his individ-
ual case.

In sowing we prefer to use flats about
two inches in depth. This depth gives
the water a chance of quickly draining
off and obviates the danger of the soil
becoming sour. We prefer to use a light,
free soil rather than one that is too re-
tentive; the little plants not only do
better in this, but they are easier taken
out without damaging the roots when
pricking off. It is poor policy when
sowing the seeds to sow too thickly ;
rather sow a flat or two more and sow
thinly, so that there will be no danger
of the plants crowding one another un-
til they are large enough to prick off.
Pricking off should not be neglected,
but should be done just as soon as the
plants are large enough to handle, so
that their progress will receive as little
check as possible. One of the secrets of
lettuce forcing is to keep the plants
growing steadily from start to finish.

A night temperature of from 45 to 50
degrees is quite high euough for young
plants, allowing a rise of about 15 de-
grees by sun heat. A light, airy situa-
tion will keep the plants stocky and
guard against thinness of texture in the
leaves. The most troublesome insect
enemy that the lettuce grower has to
tight is greenfly. This sometimes at-
tacks the plants in a small stage, and as
prevention is better than cure, it is a
good plan to have tobacco stems freely

HEATING LETTUCE HOUSES.

I have two houses 28x125 feet, twelve
feet to ridge, glass on one end only and
three feet in the south wall. Have a tub-
ular boiler with forty-three 3-inch flues
fourteen feet long. I would like to use
hot water without using 4-inch pipes and
the returns would better be on the side
walls as we want to use the houses for
lettuce. What size of chimney is re-
quired ! Can it be arranged to use steam
in severe weather? R. Z.

louse si ill require fourteen lines
of 2-inch pipes to maintain 45 degrees to
50 degrees on the coldest nights, with
water circulation, open system, or if with
a pressure system, the tank being at least
ten or twelve feet above the coils, twelve
lines would answer. The arrangement
of pipes would be two flows and two re-

turns on each side wall, two flows on
top of center column, with two returns
well up on each of the two side columns.
The smoke stack should be eighteen or
twenty inches in diameter and about
thirty to thirty-five feet high above the
top of the boiler. A combination steam
and water system can be arranged, but it
is better to stick to either one or the
other and have it perfectly planned.

NEW ORLEANS.

Horticultural Society Meets.

The New Orleans Horticultural So-
ciety met September IS, President Jo-
seph Steckler occupying the chair. A
communication was received from the
National Nut Growers' Association,
which is to meet in this city, at Audubon
park, October 28-31, requesting the New
Orleans horticulturists to take part in
the proceedings. It was decided to have
the association represented at the con-
vention, and the sum of $25 was voted
for entertainment purposes.

Mr. Newsham, who has charge of the
preparations for the exhibit at the St.
Louis exposition, reported that he is get-
ting along in a very satisfactory manner.
Among the plants already on hand he
has twenty-four varieties of large-sized
palms, and he expects to have altogether
thirty-five to forty varieties. Mrs. Anna
S. Kouns, of No. 1218 St. Andrew street,
was the first non-member of the associa-
tion to send specimens for the exhibit.
She sent two splendid Boston ferns.

Messrs. Valdejo, Chopin and Papworth,
of those who represented the asso-
ciation at the recent convention of
the national association of florists
held in Milwaukee, each gave an
account of his observations and ex-
periences, the gist of which was
that the florists of New Orleans have
much to learn in regard to the profitable
raising of flowers. The men of the north
know how to grow flowers, even if at
considerable expense, and they know just
what kinds to grow for the market, and
they get big prices. New Orleans ought
to control the market for palms, ferns
and even rubber plants, gardenias and'
carnations. The only essentials are
proper houses, proper men and proper
ground. The florists here could, by find-
ing a deboucho for their products, make
a fortune, because they can grow flowers,
palms and ferns fifty per cent cheaper
than the florists in the north.

LAURELBRANCH, N. C.

The trade in galax leaves this season
promises to be of considerable impor-
tance, as the demand is always good and
the season 's crop is above an average
in quality in this locality. But bronze
h-axes are likely to be from two to three
weeks later than usual owing to the ab-
sence of frost, which usually reaches
here by September 15. Were it not for
this trade many of the poorer classes
would suffer, as they depend on the
galax trade largely for a living.

M. L. Henderson has gone out of
business.

Woodruff & Miles, of Cherry Lane,
are preparing for the trade.

Mrs. Alice Bryan has removed to
Trap Hill, where a new branch railroad
will soon be built.

It now looks as if 2,000 cases will go
from this locality during the season.
Vegetation is still as green as in midsum-
mer. B.

A conflict has arisen over the adjust

that they should be held only for the

known seedsman, died September 28 at
his home at 481 Fullerton avenue, Chi-
cago. He was 58 years of age and for

in business for himself. The funeral
services were held at the chapel at Rose
Hill cemetery September 30, Dr. .Tenkin
Lloyd Jones officiating.

C. P. Coy & Son, Waterloo, Xeb., write
that "as yet there has been no frost in

light frost that we have had was rather
a benefit to corn than otherwise, as it

will start it to ripening up. Vine s I

crops are very poor indeed, and there is
now no chance for any improvement
over present conditions. Owing to the
long continued ruins and cold weather
tho vines have died out without maturing
fruit, and returns will be very light.
Early sweet corn promises well .and we
■ In not look for any shortages on such
varieties. The latter kinds require a con-
tinuance of the present good weather for
two weeks or so yet. ' '

The Cox Seed Co., of San Francisco,
is now sacking and shipping the crop of
seeds, and Thos. Cox sivs orders are be-
ing generally filled in ' full. There is
some shortage in onions and lettuce and
sweet, peas are the shortest in years, but
on the whole it is the best all-round de-
livery for many seasons. Culinary peas
were damaged by dry weather, the early
varieties suffering particularly. Mr.
Cox notes no falling off in the demand
for sweet peas, in fact the call seems
larger than ever. The labor problem is
the most serious one the Pacific coast
seed grower has to solve. ' ' Chinese
cheap labor ' ' is now a myth. The Cox
Co. is paying its Chinamen $1.50 a day.
The cost of seed production is constantly
increasing while the general trend of
s'eed prices seems to l>e downward. It
would seem as though the. time had come
for the seed growers to ' ' get together. ' '
The growers are specializing more and
more as to locality and soil for various
seed crops as experience teaches, and
the grower of a general line has his
fields pretty well scattered.

strides since he located here about a
year ago and has a large share of out-of-

Portland. Ore., together with his pic-

softie time, believes there is a great fu-
ture in the greal west for such young men
who adorn our profession.

the majority of first prizes at the county
fair, .dosed this week. It is as good as a
circus, attending seme of these affairs,
but 1 think the florist who stavs out,
either through indifference or other rea-

'limes makes a mistake, owing

to the largo number of country folk
who attend and who remember the florist
as well as the stockman.

J. M. Smelv has built a new office

giving him about 4,500 feet of additional
room.

The C. B. & Q. railroad's green-
houses here are planted, nearly all to
carnations, and Lawson has much the
largest space. The flowers are grown
fur the dining cars.

Stock looks well with all here. Some
carnations are undersized but healthy.
Trade is good. Less bulbous stock than
usual will be grown this season.

Growers Watch for Fraud.

Tin H. A. STOOTHOFF Co,
Gentlemen:- 116 West St., New York City.

I procured through a New York seedsman 200 lbs. of your
FUMIGATING KIND TOBACCO POWDLR and it was not the kind you
ship ; it is more like clay and will not burn at all ; their agent as-
sured me that his firm sold yours. As I am entirely out please
send at once 200 lbs. FUMIGATING KIND. It is superseding tobacco
stems in this neighborhood.

Very truly, Edward W.Clark.

Tlie above Is one of many letters we receive, and we wish to
advise all that THE FUMIGATING KIND TOHACCO POWDER Is
not genuine if our "guarantee tag of satisfaction or money back" is
not attached to every bag. In every case similar to Mr. Clark's no
tags were attached, this alone showing fraud. Buy direct from us.

DRAPERY STUDIES.

I— Drooping.

•■Any old way" is applicable to no
phase of decorative work. A worker in
greens may form his plan long before-
hand, or upon the last rung of the lad-
der, with material in hand, but whenever
lie dees, there must be a plan in mind
of what will be soon growing from his
hands, else the product will be a mean-
ingless jumble. On the spur of the mo-
ment is all right for details, but the
general plan can scarcely be an off hand
product.

According to the circumstances and
surroundings, choose some definite type
of design and let that style be the dom-
inant one of the whole d 'ation, This

does not mean that every drape shall be
like every other one in the who],- plan,
but let most of the material be used in
harmony with this one idea, and the
few variations will serve to emphasize
the main theme. An instance of this
is seen in the illustration herewith, of a
simple wedding decoration in the droop-
ing stvle of drapery.

In nature we find this stvle in straighl
festoons like those of the Florida moss
which grows in the live oak forests of

rupted or caught is the festoon so
largely adopted in conventional design,
as in the upper foreground of our study
illustration.

In the analysis of this decoration ob-
serve that the lines of drapery do not
come from nowhere. They have definite
centers and terminations. This particu-
lar decoration was chosen for this ex-
ample on account of the distinctness of
the lines. It is not an elaborate ar-
rangement, hence the lines of drapery
can be traced easily. There are three
centers or sources of drapery lines. One
is the upper right hand corner of the
mirror. Here are placed about six or
nine strings of separated smilax tied to-
gether at the heavy ends. From this
place as a center the sprays of smilax
form drapery lines extending down and
out in all directions, catching here
and there on another festoon or any
inviting projection, nowhere obscuring
any great portion of the mirror. An-
other cluster of about as many strings
is started from the upper corner of
the door frame partly visible on the
left. A knot of drapery belonging to
this center falls to the top of the seat
below and reaches in a slender spray
to the floor, thus balancing the effect of
the long garland that extends to the base
of the pillar on the right. Another
part from this center is draped along
the ceiling toward this pillar. A third
bunch of strings festoons the pillar,
joins the chandelier several feet behind,
and completes the line of festoons to
the extreme right. The heavy parts of
the drapery are at the center, and the
terminals are never abrupt. The light,
delicate ends naturally belong there.
As should be the case, the bulk of the

decorations are kept well up to be more
easily seen. The lines of the graduated
drapery are distinct and all the centers
of drapery are connected. No matter

heavy or elaborate these same

dm |" lies might be made, these two prin-
ciples should obtain; namely, heavy lines
n the center, gradually becoming lighter
toward the vanishing point, and the
whole scheme connected either in fact or
in attempt.

Were this same corner to be decorated
in autumn colors, a very different pro-
cedure would be followed. Panels and
masses of rich coloring would be used,
both with foliage and flowers. This
style of drapery is the most commonly
used and easiest of execution.

A long line of festoons like that of
the upper foreground serves to lengthen
the space in which it is used. That was
-ii i the purposes of its use here. The

with this variety, that I am forced to
believe there is some truth in the claim
that it is running out. The trouble
most commonly noted is a softening of
the foliage, which gradually increases,
even under the best conditions, until the
leaves begin to drop. There is little
doubt but that the high temperature to
which we are forced to expose it in order
to make it productive during the winter
months must after a time have a baneful
effect on its constitution.

When a variety refuses to do well un-
der the same conditions and treatment
in which it formerly flourished, and when
it shows itself much more susceptible to
all and every trouble there is evidence
to lead to the conclusion that its con-
stitution is being undermined. So far
as I can learn every Meteor grower has
contented himself with wood from stock
forced in this manner, for propagating
purposes, and of course has to use it at
the time when it is nearly the height
of the forcing season, when the wood and
foliage must necessarily be at their soft-
est stage. Under such circumstances it
is astonishing that the symptoms of de-
terioration have not become apparent
before now.

A brother grower made a suggestion
to me recently, that the best way to
overcome this difficulty would be to grow
as many plants as would be required for

space between the pillar and door seemed
almost too contracted for the purpose
until this line of festoons, aided by the
narrowing of the space behind, relieved
that appearance. Gertrude Blaib.

Difficulties with Meteor.

I have recently had so many com-
plaints about Meteors failing to do so
well as in former years, and these in
many instances coming from growers
who used to bo noted for their success

stock raising at a lower temperature in
order to regain the vitality lost by over-
forcing. There might be some value in
this and those who are afflicted and have
the room to spare might find it profitable
to giv« it a trial.

In some notably heavy loam soil the
conditions are the reverse of this. The
plants seem to be increasing in vigor
from year to year and the blooms get-
ting larger and deeper in color. Where
such soils are available and its culture
carefully studied there is no doubt but
that it is one of the most profitable
varieties, and that there is a demand for

MISCELLANEOUS
SEASONABLE HINTS.

Handling the Azaleas.

Very soon the Indian azaleas and other
shrubby plants that we import from
Europe will be here. Sometimes the ball
of earth will be quite dry by the time
they reach you. It is well known that
the ball of roots and soil, if left entire,
would need a pot larger than is neces-
sary for the growth of the plants and too
large for appearance sake. Take a sharp
carving knife and cut cleanly off an inch
or two all around. If you want to put
the plant in a 6, 7 or 8-inch pot, then cut
off the roots until the ball is just a trifle
less than those sizes. It is no advantage
to have an inch of fresh soil all around
the ball. They won't occupy it with
roots in three years and it would be an
actual detriment to the health of the
azalea. You hope to sell the plant in six
months and with 90 per cent of all the
azaleas imported that is the end of them.
After you have the roots trimmed dip the
ball in a tub of water for a few
moments, or long enough to thoroughly
wet it through. If the ball of earth is
dry all the watering you can give it
in the ordinary way will not wet it suffi-
ciently.

You don't see the potting stick used
much nowadays, but here is an operation
where a blunt stick, say an inch broad
and one-fourth of an inch thick, is al-
most a necessity, for you want to get the
new soil down firmly in the space be-
tween the sides of the pot and the ball.
The soil in which these azaleas are
grown, in Belgium at least, seems to be
a dark, decomposed sandy peat, such soil
as few of us have here; and although
the azaleas will often remain in the best
of health two or three years with us
without making much, if any, roots in the
soil we give them, yet I do not think that
the peat is the only soil that will grow
azaleas well. We have seen them root
vigorously in a good, yellow- loam. Two-
thirds of yellow loam and one-third of
leaf mold would do very well, and the
comparatively small shift you give them

mg

ill, if not sold, carry them

over the second winter in good shape,

These newly imported plants, after
being potted, should be stood in a cool,
shaded house. A spraying every bright
morning for two weeks will help them to
get over their sea voyage, after which
they want neither shade nor spraying.
Large importers of these plants place
them in frames, where they have the
means of keeping them above the freez-
ing point, and a good place it is.

For Early and Late Forcing.

Azaleas that you have summered over,
if properly managed, make better Easter
plants than those imported the previous
October, particularly some of the finest
varieties. The flowers may not be so
large individually, but there will be
more of them. In some varieties, notably
the well-known Bernard Andre and B.
Andre alba, and others, the recently
imported will come largely blind, which
they never do on plants summered over
in pots.

Contrary to what might be expected,
the plants you have grown all summer
and which are full of buds, with roots
undisturbed, are not the plants to force
for Christmas. The newly imported
plants are the ones for that purpose. By
the first of November you can select
those you want in flower at the holidays.
How many varieties are useful for this
purpose I don't pretend to know; there
may be some new ones. Three reliable
stand-bys that can easily be had in
flower by Christmas in a night tempera-
ture of 65 degrees are the unequaled
Deutsche Perle, which is all you want in
white, Simon Mardner, dark pink, and
the beautiful Vervaeneana, white and
pink, variegated or mottled. Give you

daily

plenty of water. You have perhaps
noticed that if you let an azalea wilt its
flowers, they will remain wilted and the
sale of your plant is gone. This more
readilv occurs and is more hurtful with

the Christmas plants than with the Eas-
ter lot.

Acacias.

Along now will also come the Acacia
armata and metrosideros (bottle brush).
These are usually from pots and don't
want any root pruning. See that the ball
of roots" is wet before you pot them, and
keep them for the next three months, at
least, in a night temperature of 10 de
grees. The acacias are very apt to be
too early for Easter unless you keep them
very cool.

Rhododendrons.

The rhododendrons seemed to be in
rather better demand last spring than
any previous year, but that was perhaps
only local. A large price should be ob-
tained for them, as they are bulky plants,
but they need not occupy the greenhouse
all winter, as do the Indian azaleas.
Those who are blessed with a root house
and can plunge the ball of roots of these
plants in soil and keep the soil moder-
ately moist have an ideal place to winter
them, better than a greenhouse, for these
evergreen shrubs, as we all know, are
nearly or quite hardy in our nothern
-tales, if you have not the convenience
of a mot house, then a damp frame will
do, and keep out what frost you can.
Son,, varieties force in less time than
others. Two months before selling time
will be early enough to pot up any of
them. Don't make the mistake of letting
the soil they are plunged in get dry. That
would be entirely contrary to their nat-
ural winter condition out of doors.
Shrubs for Forcing.

Hardy shrubs will be forced this win-
ter, perhaps more than ever. Some are
grown here, but the majority are grown
and prepared for forcing in Europe —
lilac, deutzia, viburnum, cydonia, wista-
ria and perhaps others. As these are all
hardy shrubs, a cold frame is all that is
needed for them when received, and pot
them up when you bring them in to force.
If you had the convenience to pot them
now I don't believe it would be the
slightest advantage. They are deciduous
and would make no roots until yon
started them in heat. There is, however,
occasion to be careful of these shrubs,
even if they are hardy under natural
conditions. Remember they are most
likely packed and shipped before any
hard frost occurs on the other side and
they have been in boxes in the hold of a
vessel for ten days, perhaps more. Now.
that is not at all a cold place and when
these shrubs are unpacked they are m
poor order to withstand a sudden severe
freeze. Get the roots plunged and
watered as soon as possible and let frost
appioach them only gradually. I men-
tion this because a few years ago I saw
•200 fine plants of Deutzia gracilis ex-
posed the first night after unpacking to
■JO degrees of frost. It left them useless
and they were never exposed for sale.
William Scott.

ROOT PRUNING PALMS.
I have large latanias and phoenix in
half barrels that were formerly used for
kerosene. The roots are lifting the palms
out of the tubs. The plants are in fine,
healthv condition. Can anything be done
to keep them in the same-sized barrels,
or must they have larger tubs? These
plants have about nine feet spread, but
my emplnver tells me that in some way

in very small tubs. But having 1 n as

far north as Maine, all plants seem to
me to grow equally well with the same
care, either uorth or south. A. B.

Such a condition frequently arises
where these strong-growing palms are
kept in the same tubs t'"i a number of
years, and growers sometimes resort t..
root pruning in order to keep such plants
within bounds. Hut it would be better
to defer such an operation until early
next summer, the season of active growth
being- so nearly over, and in the mean
timo the edges of the tubs could be built
up an inch or so with a strip of wood
to allow more space for watering. The
root pruning simply consists of rutting
away the mass of coarse roots that have
accumulated in the bottom of the tub. a
strong and sharp knife being tin- handi-
est tool for this purpose. Then dig out
as much soil as can 1m- readilj removed
without injury to the remaining roots,
and repot the plant in the same tub.

VIOLETS FROM THE FIELD.

Circumstances are frequently such thai
you cannot do things in the order that
you prefer and think best, and then ''the
next best thing" is to do the very best

doing. One of our \ inlet Ileuses has
been overhauled this season and we
thought to have it in shape to plant
early, but, alas, the wet weather and
various other matters delayed its so that
we have only just finished planting it
with clumps from the field, while we
much prefer to have them grown in the
house.

This is the first time in a number of
years that we have left a house to be
planted from the field in the fall; how-
ever, they are looking ap nicely, despite
the warm, pleasant weather which we are
having now and which we should have
had during the summer.

But the planting now should not be
delayed, as it is getting where we are
liable to have storms that will make it
mussy and bad for lifting the plants
and then, too, if it gets wet and cold
the plants are so brittle that you will
lose much more of the foliage than is
good, and there will be considerable loss
at the best. We consider it best to clean

the pin runners, etc.; ell' thoroughly be
fore planting them, for tun reasons; it
is inueli better for the plants as there is
lint so much te exhaust the roots while
thej are taking new hold, and, again,
it saves much back-aching work a little
later. Of course the weather and other
circumstances may compel you to house
them in a hurry, so thai you rannot do
this, but if not. clean them by all means.

After planting them we find a "Bos-
ten rose" the best spray for the hose
as this does not scatter the water and
veil gel it right where you want it on the
plant, washing it clean of the soil that
will get on it more or less, and settling
the seil nicely about the roots.

We keep the temperature as low as
possible with plenty of ventilation; in
fact, till that we .-an get with. ait draughts
tied currents. The house will also need
.a light shading for a few days until the
plants M' t their new start, when it should
be reimo ed unless it should be an un-
seasonable, warm sunny season, when it
would lie well to hold it till the end of
same.

We have not yet marketed any flowers
from the other houses, as we prefer to
hold them back till later and they are
better. Go over them often and keep a

sharp lookout for everything, keeping
them in the best of shape, remembering
that the most trying part of the violet
season is near at hand. Be sure and
keep them cool. R. E. Shuphelt.

ST. LOUIS WORLD'S FAIR. ' * I
The accompanying illustration shows
a portion of the rose garden at the St.
Louis World's Fair, photographed Sep-
tember 17. This section of the rose
plantation is on the east front of the
Agriculture building. The roses in the
foreground are Magna Charta, planted
May 26, 1903. They average four feet
in height. The bed in the rear is Clio,
75T, plants put in the ground May 19,
1903. They have made a good growth,
the shoot held by the man in the photo-
graph measuring four feet six inches in
length. The bed in the distance, at the
right, are the first roses planted, April
22, 1903, and there the growth is over
six feet on some of the plants. The ter-
race back of the roses was being seeded
the day the photograph was taken and
at the date of writing, September 30,
the new grass quite covers the ground.
The beds on the terrace are to be planted
with bulbs this fall, to be followed by
bedding stock next spring. In the back-
ground is a short section of the Agricul-
ture building, 100 feet from door to
door, just one-fifteenth of the entire
length of the building.

The other illustration shows the Hor-
ticulture building as it appeared Septem-
ber 17, 1903.

THE HARDY PHLOXES.

Given reasonable treatment, phloxes
are grand subjects, either in a bed or
border, alone or among other plants.
Nowadays they are so dwarf in habit as
compared to what they used to be that
many varieties , may be planted close to
the front of the border, and in this way
they are useful to fill up gaps and
give brightness when many of the regu-
lar occupants have passed their beet.
Some say that not more than half a
dozen growths should be allowed to a
root or stool. Perhaps so, if extra large
blooms are needed, but for ordinary
border decoration double that number is
not too many. Two. three and four-year-
old plants make the best display, espe-
cially if the weakly shoots are cut away

wood ashes, road grit, or decayed vege-

when the succulent shoots are showing
well above the soil, -ays E. MoUm "v
the well known writer in the Gardeners
Magazine.

Deeply-dug and well-manured soil is
the first essential to success. Where the
soil is heavy, therefore cold and retentive
of moisture, planting in spring is pref-
erable to any other time. In such a soil
slu<*s are too troublesome when autumn
planum' is practiced. The succulent
crowns~-cem t".. tempting to be passed
over. When dividing old roots a com-
mon'mistake is that of -electing the por-
tion nearest the center for planting,
whereas this is weakened by exhaustion.
The stocky, vigorous growths at the out-
side are much more preferable, as they
quickly grow into plants calculated to
give extra strong flower spikes.

Mr. Molyneux advises everyone to prop-
agate a few plants annually, as he finds
single-stemmed stock most useful for fill-

and are quite effective in every respect.
Such plants, too, are available for taking
the place of those worn out in the mid-
dle or the back of the border, as the case
may be.

This grower has about 100 varieties
but the average man can use but a few.
He places Tapis Blanc at the head of
the white-flowered varieties. The habit
of growth is dwarf— eighteen inches; the
blooms measure quite two inches in diam-
eter, forming a compact, solid spike.
Amazone, three feet, is a charming va-
riety; the flowers are of good form, and
of the purest white, Josephine Gerbaux,
four feet -ix Inches, has a deep crimson
eye, surrounded with white, and is a
striking variety. Pantheon, three feet, is
rosy-salmon, extra large blooms. Eclair-
eur, two feet six inches, has enormous
flowers, compact spike, carmine, suffused
with primrose, the center salmon-rose,
veined carmine. L 'Aiglon is rosy-car-
mine, with carmine eye. Miss Pember-
ton, one foot six inches, sal-
mon-pink, crimson eye, he says,
is quite the best of dwarf-growing
kinds. Flambeau, two feet, orange-scar-
let, has a deeper eye. Gourdan, three
feet, rose, lighter eye, makes a good spike.
Etna, three feet six inches, orange-scarlet,
maroon center, quite one of the best of
bright-colored varieties, better than Co-
cmelieot. Edouard Lockroy is velvety vio-
let, extra large blooms fully one and
three-quarter inches in diameter.

essentia] to a fine carnation as a fine
bloom. If your soil is too light or if
some of your varieties lack a trifle in
stiffness in the stem, give them a light
sprinkling of air-slaked lime or wood
ashes every two weeks, watering it in
cell. Spraying the plants overhead with
salt water will also help to stiffen the
steins a little. About a two and one-fourth
inch j.ot full of table salt to three gal-
lons of water will do. Be sure yon pick

housed early in August or in July and
you muhhed them last month a dose of
bone flour will do them no harm at
this time. We mix it with soil, about
one to eight, and let it lie a couple of
days, turning it over two or three times
to keep it from hooting. A good hand-
ful to a row across a five-foot bench is
enough, and water it in well. We prefer
the fine bone flour, as it dissolves much
quicker than the coarse brands do. We
also find Clay's fertilizer valuable to
use in the same way. Don't do any of
this feeding, though, unless your plants
are in good growing condition and the
roots active and strong. First get your
plants well established and then you ean
push the growth bv extra feeding.

CARNATION NOTES— EAST.
Preparations for Propagation.
It is time well spent and much labor
saved to make preparations for propa-
gation at once, while the weather permits
of handling material to the best advan-

tage, as later, when pressure of business
demands all attention, important details
arc. apt to be left out.

First of all prepare a sufficient quan-
tity of soil to be used expressly for
potting the cuttings as they come from
the sand. Use entirely new soil, discard-
ing that which has at any time been
used in the houses for any crop or upon
which carnations have ever been grown.
Rotted sod, from good grass land, that
has lain in a pile for a year or more, and
to which no animal or chemical manure
has been added is the ideal soil for the
purpose.

The cutting as it comes from the 9and
should be put. on the plainest kind of
diet, the object being to obtain a slow,
sturdy growth, the effect of which will
be to' produce a season of partial rest.
Temperature will, of course, play an im-
portant part, but this subject of rest will
be enlarged upon in due season.

Locate the pile outside within con-
venient reach of the hose in case the
soil should become dry. If you have an
indicated soil shed, so much the better;
if not, cover with straw, as soon as the
frost forms a crust on the surface, to
prevent , further freezing. Later add a
covering of boards, tar paper or other
material to shield from rain or melting
snow. Left in this state it is an easy
matter to get in a supply of perfectly

-■ t -oil when needed.

The propagating sand should be got-
ten on the ground and if necessary

-on e 1 to remove gravel, stones or other

objectionable matter. It will be best to
leave it exposed to the action of several
frosts before putting in the bench.

Last year I described the construction
of a brick-bottomed propagating bench
which we have used with great success
and, while not absolutely necessary, brick
give a great advantage over boards. Be-
sides being indestructible, the drainage
is perfect, preventing the sand from

no in the least soggy. The heat

from the pipes underneath is absorbed
by the brick and imparted to the sand
in a uniform gentle manner very de-
sirable.

Before filling with sand the brick
should^ be coated with lime wash to
which 'pulverized sulphur was added be-
fore boiling ceased, and applied hot.
The action of hot lime on sulphur is
about the only means by which a sulphur-
ous solution ean be obtained and when
applied to a porous surface like brick,
its fungus-destroying qualities are in-
creased or made more available.

By the way, paint some of your heat-
ing pipes with this same lime and sul-
phur wash as soon as regular firing be-
gins. With steam heat less surface need
be coated than if hot water is used.
Cover enough surface to give a faint
odor of sulphur through the house when
the pipes are well warmed.

Prices.

The question of prices on carnation
blooms is a matter which I believe the
average grower has not given the amount
of thought it deserves. Considering the
rapid improvement made in the divine
flower during the past few years, the in-
creased cost of building materials and
fuel, also the extra amount of labor in-
volved in the production of the grade of
stock now demanded, let us see if the
horny-handed grower has come in for his
share.

The latest wholesale New York quota-
tion on roses ranges from $1 for low
grade to $8 for fancy Brides. Carna-

The Weekly Florists' Review,

House of New White Carnations at F. Dorner & Sons Co.'s, La Fayette, Ind.'

tions are quoted from 75 cents for low
grade to $4 for novelties. If the differ-
ence in price is but one-quarter of a
cent between the lowest grade of rose
and carnation, why the wide difference
(100 per cent) between the highest grade
of the same flowers?

From the time a carnation cutting is
rooted to the time salable blooms can be
cut, I venture the statement that more
labor has been expended than in the
period required to bring roses to the
productive point, while the earlier use of
fuel required for roses is offset by earlier
returns.

Since it takes the same amount of
space, soil, coal and practically the same
time to grow inferior stock as it does
high grade, there is no good reason why
such quantities of inferior carnations
should appear on the market, only to
lower the flower in the estimation of the
public, and herein lies the solution of the
problem. Grow the highest grade possi-
ble and those who strive to see how low
a grade can be produced will soon alter
their methods.

Had the wages of greenhouse help in-
creased in proportion to those in other
lines of trade, much less low grade
stock would have reached the market.
However, this is a matter which will pre-
sent itself for solution in the near future
as the demand for more experienced
help is on the increase, which must re-
sult in higher wages, higher grade of
[production and prices consistent with
increased cost of the same.

NEW CARNATIONS.

The accompanying illustration shows a
carnation house at the establishment of
Fred Dorner & Sons Co., Lafayette, Ind.
The varieties are their new whites, de-
scribed in our issue of July 30, 1903.
On the first bench is Ladv Bountiful,
on the further bench The Belle. The
house was planted July 28, 1903, and
photographed September 14. Both vari-
eties are to be distributed this winter.

TROUBLE WITH FERNS.
In the Review of September 24 I note
Mr. Altoona's trouble with ferns. We
had the same difficulty for years. It is
the thrips that make the leaves look as
though burned or scalded. They are the
little black bugs that crawl on the under

side of the leaves. They like ferns and
rubbers better than palms or any other
plant we know. We now use Thripscide
once a week and our ferns are in fine
condition. This was the only remedv
we found to be successful and it is so
easy to use that we now keep our stock
clean and nice. If you will give Mr.
Altoona this advice he will soon be over
his trouble. R. Hoffman.

PACIFIC COAST.

Mexlo Park, Cal. — A trip through
Sidney Clack's establishment, shows he
has lost none of his skill as a rose and
carnation grower. The stock all looks
well and so does Mr. Clack himself. At
Mr. Lynch 's establishment a field of
60,000 chrysanthemums, of which about
half are Bonnaffon, is an interesting
sight, as is also his field of smilax.
Both 'mums and smilax are in the open,
except for some spreading old oak trees.

PLANT NOTES.

September has been, this year as well
;i- lasl, one of our brightest months.
We had considerable cool, cloudy weathi i
in mid-summer and, although the days
.He getting shorter and the nights longer,
everything in the greenhouses is still
growing in good shape. Outside our
asters are about gone and chrysanthe-
mums are about beginning to make them-
selves known. Dahlias are just a little
past their prime, but we will have good
blossoms, although on somewhat shorter
stems, until the frost comes. Roman
hyacinths have arrived this week. The
bulbs are a little above the average in
size and give promise of doing all that
i- required of them.

Violets of the Princess of Wales vari-
ety are beginning to show blooms, but
the weather is too warm at present and
they are weak and flabby and until we
get our first showers, generally about
the first of November, we will not have
much assistance from our violets. By
the way, I do not think that in the
neighborhood of San Francisco there
were over half a dozen growers last sea-
son that had really first class violets. Of
course, they are grown entirely out of
doors here and cultivated much the same

as any vegetable. The fault seemed to
be that growers used the same ground
for several seasons, but experience has
taught us that violets want new soil every
wai to be up to the mark. A great
many more acres have been planted this
year than ever and we hope to see plenty
of good flowers later on.

Sweet peas are getting short of stem
as the nights get longer and we will not
see much of them after a couple of
weeks. There are a few sheltered lo-
calities where sweet peas can be grown
successfully the year around by system-
atic planting, but they are not in' much
demand out of season and are only used
because flowers happen to be scarce.

Our fall crop of outside roses was not
"l1 to the usual standard this season,
and but little use was made of them by
the florists. Between the very drv season
and an unusual supply of "green lady-
birds we did not cut many perfect flow-
ers. ■ G.

CALIFORNIA CARNATIONS.
Hanna Hobart, the remarkable deep
pink carnation that originated with John
H. Sievers & Co., San Francisco, may be
disseminated next year. It has so' far
been retained by Messrs. Sievers & Co.,
who have felt it was too important to
them to have exclusive sale of the flowers
at their store to allow the stock to go
out. But there is a probabiliy that a
program is imminent.

ers are immense in size, color
similar to Lawson and the growth strong
and vigorous. It will be a great acquisi-
tion if disseminated. For years Sievers
& Co. have received regula'rlv the vear
around double the price obtained for'any
other carnation blooms. By the wav,
tic; aow have a red sport from Hobart
which gives them a new color in this
type of carnation.

A. B. Spreckels, their new scarlet, has
much the same habit as Hobart, very
erect and spikey foliage, and evidently
belongs in the same class. Both varie-
ties are now a sea of buds and show
their superiority to the standard sorts
also grown on the place.

Tuberous begonias are grown here and
the cut flowers are largely used in de-
sign work. They find them very useful,
the flowers coming at a time of the year
when other blooms are not plentiful.
The plants are non passing out of bloom.

Ferns are largely grown here and a
considerable number of Adiantum Wil-
liamsii was noted. He likes it better
than Farleyense associated with orchids.
And the writer agrees with him that it
is more graceful and better adapted to
the purpose. The orchids, by the way,
are in prime condition and promise a
splendid crop of flowers later. Cattlevas
predominate in the stock, though other
genera are grown.

BURLINGAME, CAL.

Quite a large new cut flower growing
establishment is being built here bv the
GJenwood Nursery Co., of which Philip
C. Meyer is the head. Thomas W. Breen
is the manager in charge and he has
been making things move. Though build-
ing operations were not begun until Julv.
ten houses, each 25x150, are almost com-
pleted. Two have been planted some
time to chrysanthemums and the stock
looks remarkably well considering the
amount of building that has demanded
the manager's constant attention. Six

Two thousand Brunners are getting

about three feet of glass ventilation in

Field-grown roses are being planted in
some houses and burlap shading is used
on these houses till the roses take hold
of the soil.

A huge water tank is in place and the
space underneath is being closed in and
neatly ceiled, to be used as a dining
room for the men. Barns and other ac-
cessories are being constructed and the
big gang of carpenters and other work-
men are pushing the work at a rapid
gait. Crude oil will be used for fuel
and steam will be the heating medium.
The stock in the large establishment
of E. W. McLellan, located here, is in its
usual fine condition. The replanting of
the carnation houses is now being fin-
ished. Some of the roses were carried
over from last season and are starting
strong new growth in good shape.

Henri De Coulon started in the cu"c
flower-growing line here last year and
has three houses, which are placed in a
rather novel wav. They form almost an
exact triangle. The stock looks well and
results are what count, so maybe a tri-
angular arrangement is a good thing.

BOILER CAPACITY.

I want to put in a boiler to heat a
greenhouse 26x75, with about 2,800
square feet of glass surface. A manu-
facturer tells me that a 16x30 boiler will
■ I I see in a catalogue that this is
just the size for 6,000 cubic feet, only a
small part of the cubic contents of my
greenhouse. How will it work? The
ground is shallow and a deep pit cannot
be dug because of water. How will it do
to put the boiler on the level of the
greenhouse floor and hang the whole pipe
business in the air!

A boiler having a rated capacity for
heating 5,000 cubic feet, presumably a
rating used for dwelling heating, would
not be capable of heating a greenhouse
26x75. containing about 2,800 square
feet of glass exposure. For the heating
of such a greenhouse a boiler having a
.[welling heating capacity of at least 30.-
000 cubic feet should be used. Regard-
ing the shallowness of the boiler cellar
referred to, it will pay to make a water-

tight pit of concrete, sufficiently large to

mmodate the boiler and deep

enough to bring the top of the boiler
level with or below the greenhouse floor,
otherwise he will have to do as he says,
"hang the whole pipe business in the
air." When he has purchased his boiler,
if he will state the exact measurements
of same and give greatest depth he can

make his pit, also s ! particulars as to

bench arrangement of greenhouse, I will
be pleased to give him some points in

ASPARAGUS MYRIOCLADUS.
One of the interesting plant novelties

British writer should t interest

••Attention has been called to the
d rative species of asparagus on sev-
eral occasions, but it apparently takes
a long time to establish a plant firmly
in the affection of cultivators, and es-
pecially those who grow for market pur-
poses. The now well-known Asparagus
Sprengeri was growing luxuriantly in
the French and Belgian nurseries several
years before the British growers would
take it up. Even when one or two tried
it, it did not catch on quickly, but grad-
ually its beauty and usefulness became
more apparent and were at last genera..}
recognized.

"A. myriocladus, the species now
under notice, will probably go through
the same process before it becomes
thoroughly well-known. It is a distinct
and ornamental species, and, like many-
others, a native of South Africa. It
grows three to live feet high, and even
more, perhaps, the stems becoming
woody, and of a soft, pale brown hue.
with sturdy spines at the base, of the
branches. These latter are wiry look-
ing, and from them arise other wiry-
looking, but more slender branchlets,
from the joints of which spring dense
whorls of feathery, slender leaves or
cladodes. In a young state they are of
a soft, bright green and very attractive,
but become of a deeper and more sombre
hue with age. Small plants, in 5-inch
pots, are decidedly ornamental and
should prove useful for the table or con-
sen atorv.

"The' cultivation of Asparagus myrio-
cladus presents no particular dif-
ficulty. It flourishes in a greenhouse
temperature and likes abundance of air
when well established. Sandy loam and
leaf soil, with good drainage, seems to
suit it well. Propagation is effected by-
cuttings of the fairly well ripened side
shoots with a heel of the old wood, in-
serted in a bell glass or under a close
frame. As numerous shoots spring ur>
from the root-stock, this species appar-
ently can also be increased by careful
division just as the season's growth is
about to begin."

THE CYPRESS MARKET.

Chicago dealers in cypress lumber re-
port the demand about as good as it has
been throughout the season. Lately
numerous orders have been received from
boat builders, while other consumers,
such as tank manufacturers, the manu-
facturers of interior finish, greenhouse
men and others, are calling for lumber in
reasonable quantities. Prices remain
about stationary. In fact says the Amer-
ican Lumberman, there is no motive for

making any concessions on Louisiansi
stock, because the mill operators are
selling their product as fast as it is fit
to ship. One feature of demand com-
mented on by a local dealer is the call
for low grade common stock for box
manufacture. Consumers are trying all
kinds of lumber to make up for the lack
of soft pine, and in some instances
they are turning to cypress as a substi-
tute. Aside from greenhouse require-
ments a good deal of cypress is used in
car building and an occasional sizable
order for such material has been re-
ceived this season. Iu all respects the
cypress trade is in good condition, de-
mand and distribution being well ad-
justed to the amount and condition of
supplies at the mills.

TROUBLE WITH CYPERUS.

1 send a stem of an umbrella plant
which is affected by some kind of dis-
ease unknown to me. Please tell me
what it is and the cure for it.

P. J. K.

The specimen of Cyperus alternifolius
forwarded with this ' letter is evidently
suffering from a severe attack of insects
rather than from disease, there being de-
cided evidence of a plentiful crop of
both mealy bugs and red spiders. The
tips of the leaflets have probably turned
brown from the plant having ueen dry
at some time, though they w-ere also
weakened to some extent by the red
spider, it would be best to cut back the
old growths and allow the plants to
come up again from the bottom, giving
an abundance of water at all times. This
plant is a semi aquatic, and consequently
grows better in mud than in dry soil,
the latter condition also favoring the
attacks of red spider.

A LOW PRESSURE TRAP.

Two winters ago I only used one pump
to force the water back to the steam
boilers. Something went wrong and we
were about to be frozen up when luckily
I ueiii about the work myself and found
out what an expert could not and just
saved my place from frost
then that 1 began to rea
was running by having only one steam
pump. So I began to study the matter
and found that the pump I was using
required at least ten pounds of steam
to work it, and that often in fall and
spring we did not require this amount
of steam pressure to heat our place. Why
not get a pump to work with as little
pressure as I required? So it occurred
to my mind that if I reduced the water
plungers one half on the new pump, 1
would increase the power of the pump
one half. So this we had done and the
result is that we can get all the water
pumped into the boilers at less than
three pounds pressure and nothing could
give greater satisfaction. As my fireman
said last winter, "She works like a
watch," and the return water very hot
ai that. The pump is a Northey, but I
am satisfied that any pump can be made
to do the same by simply reducing the
water plungers one half. S. S. Bain.

no flowers develop upon the yel-
low, sickly looking shoots, or only rudi-
ments of them. In numerous cases, how-
ever, blossoms appear upon normal
branches, which are peculiarly affected by
the disease. Some show it in the whole
flower, others only upon one side or in
a small portion. The first noticeable

peculiarity is in th dor, which is of

the same greenish yellow as that of af-
fected leaves, without regard to the nat-
ural color of the variety. Where the whole
flower-head is affected it has a peculiar,
unnatural appearance, while often one
side is perfectly normal while the other
is yellow and diseased. Closer exami-
nation ot' n 11'. in ■•! llorots shows a remark-
able and characteristic change. This is
the greatly increased size and length of
the pistil, which occupies the center of

each floret. A further peculiarity is
shown in the sharp turn upward which
tin- a Ho. -tod pistils take, just as the stem
■ r n plant takes when bent over.

It is natural in a plant disease to look
for some parasitic organism as the cause.
In many respects the appearance and na-
ture of this disease lead one to suspect
some such origin, but it may be said at
once that the most careful search in all
parts of the plant has failed to reveal
anything of the sort. That the trouble
is purely of a physiological nature, due
to some perversion of the normal func-
tions of the plant, can scarcely be doubt-
ed. The trouble is equally prevalent
upon all varieties of asters. Besides the
large amount of evidence on this point
obtained incidentally in the course of
this work from our own plants and those
of many other growers, this matter was
especially tested in the summer of 1900.
Seed was obtained of all the varieties of
any importance obtainable in the coun-
try, over 300 separate lots in all, and the
plants of each kind set out in one long
bed for comparison. The result was that
while naturally some variation in the
amount of disease occurred, no impor-
tant difference could be seen in favor
of or against any variety. It is inter-
esting to note that the alleged "orig-
inal" aster obtained of Heinemann, of
Erfurt, Germany, was one of the worst
affected varieties.

NEW YORK.

The Market.

The big city has maintained its repu-
tation during the last ten days as a pur-
veyor of the most charming fall weather
manufactured on this continent. The
schools and theaters are in full blast and,
best of all, the crop of October weddings
gives abundant promise, and already
every prominent retailer has made many
bookings, one of the leading firms show-
ing eight splendid engagements, and the
month is only in its infancy. Then, too,
the "400" are rapidly occupying their
city palaces, the Newport and Lenox
and other great summer centers of so-
ciety's gaiety are slowly becoming de-
populated and the Wall street outlook,
as we predicted a week ago, has bright-
ened, reassuring the pessimistic as to the
business prospect and creating new hope
and ambition where the clouds seemed
heavy. A good winter 's business is about
as good as guaranteed for the florists
and there is nothing now to merit alarm,
excuse, timidity, distrust or lack of en-
erprise. The plantsmen are decidedly-
busy at present and as a consequence,
everi retail store is a scene of tropical
beauty. Great banks of palms and ferns
already ornament the shelves and win-
dows and a profusion of bloom from
the outdoor gardens gives brilliancy and
interest to the florid decorations. Every
daj adds to the size, beauty and variety
of the chrysanthemums and the autumn
ill soon be regally enthroned.

Various Notes.

The club meeting of the New York
florists Monday night opens the season
and should have a big send off, as mat-
ters of great interest, looking to added
entertainment and numbers, will be dis-
cussed, and among other features there
is a fair prospect that the new Breit-
meyer rose may be on exhibition. Bowl-
ers also are requested to report to Can-
tain Lang, so that there may be no de-

lay in the formation of a representative
club for the winter season.

Alfred Zeller has assumed all the re-
sponsibilities and obligations of the firm
of Chas. Zeller & Son, and the old name
of the house will be continued.

Warrendorff 's fine store at the An-
sonia has a handsome novelty in Pom-
peian jardinieres manufactured on the
premises. An interesting lieutenant here
is an artist who has spent many years in
St. Petersburg and whose work is most
unique. The system of maintaining
several stores in the same city by the
one firm, which begins to prevail here,
is not unusual in that far off capital,
where every day is a saint's day and
where one florist maintains no less than
seven establishments.

Clarke's Sons' huge store on the boule-
vard is none too roomy for the many
banks of plants which the closing of the
greenhouses makes necessary here. The
firm is rejoicing in the completion of
the Rapid Transit road in their neigh-
borhood, and, in fact, all of upper Broad-
way has been handicapped beyond en-
durance for a year while the "big
ditch" has been in process of construc-
tion. A score of florists will breathe
-ily all along the route from
Sixtieth street to Harlem, and the boule-
vard wlnn restored to its former condi-
tion and its wide avenues beautified by
shrubbery and trees will again become
one of the finest streets of the city. No
wonder Broadway from Fourteenth street
to Forty-second made a vigorous protest
against the contemplated opening of the
street and by concerted action prevented
the ruinous project.

Herrmann. on East Thirty-fourth
street, reports a great season. Their
machine-made immortelle bells are going
fast at one- third of last year's prices.
They have new styles of stars in crape
paper and crape and immortelles. Mr.
Herrmann is back from his European
trip with many new ideas and novelties.
Importations are double those of last
season. The demand for immortelles is
constant, their third shipment being al-
ready sold. This firm made a big ship-
ment of goods to Johannesburg, South
Africa, a few weeks ago.

Fritz Dressel's place in Weehawken
might safely be termed a fern and rub-
ber factory. Enormous quantities of
these staples are in evidence. Among
the ferns are some fine specimens of
l'i. is, mi and of Anna Foster. Four new
houses have been added to this plant this
summer and a new office built. A coffee
tree in fruit is an interesting novelty.

F. B. Pierson Company has purchased
from Chas. H. Allen, of Floral Park, the
entire stock of his grand carnation,
White Lawson.

Another immense greenhouse has been
completed at Briarcliff by the Pierson-
Sefton Company, similar to the one de-
i year ago, which Paul M. Pier-
son says is ' ' the finest greenhouse in the
world. ' ' Eight thousand American
Beauty plants in this one house, in grand
condition, will endeavor to pay for it
this winter. In Mr. Pierson 's ranges
of glass are benched altogether over
100,000 Beauties. The growth every-
where is exceptionally fine this season
and the output promises to be enormous.

A part of the estate of the late Chas.
Knick, including the property where
Mr. Knick 's retail establishment stands,
has been sold for $85,000. Mr. Knick
will devote his entire attention to his
wholesale business after May 1.

A. Warrendorff. of Broadway, had a
unique window Monday evening, in
which was a handsome design for the

Maiden, also an immense star of rod and
white dahlias, the emblem of the White
Eats, a theatrical organization.

A good deal of autumn foliage is
being used by the retailers in their win
dows, especially branches of the oak,
which seems to have displayed the first
effects of the fall painting of Dame
Nature. The parks begin to put on
their "coats of many colors" and the
first signs of Indian summer are with
us. After such a summer as we have
endured there is only justice and fair
play in the charming temperature which
now envelops the east. The conse-
quences, however, to the cut flower mar-
ket are disastrous. Eoses. 'mums and
carnations are running a race for supre-
macy that will end in a flood of ship-
ments of every one of these at about the

same time and the consequences to values
can easily be foretold. The end of the
week promises the beginning of the ava-
lanche and it looks as if no power can

prevent the break. Even on M lay

prices declined from Saturday's quota-
tions and the tendency was decidedly
bearish when the market closed. Looks
as though some of the dividends on cut
lower stock would have to be "passed"
in o.-tober. J. Austin Shaw.

PHILADELPHIA.
The Market.

Business in eut flowers is active; more
stock is being sold at fair prices. White
is in brisk demand, carnations of that
color being higher in price than pink or
red. Valley on some days has been
scarce despite increase. I supply. Beau-
ties are going well. The call for early
chrysanthemums is fitful, but so far it
has equaled the supply, prices ruling
firm. A few days will find a great
many more in the market. Cattleyas
are to be had in some quantity, also a
few cypripediums and other orchids.
Dahlias are fine and very plentiful.
Hoses of all sorts tire more plentiful than
a week ago. Tritoma, the red hot poker,
is a novelty, useful for decorations. Vio-
lets, both single' and double, are im-
proving.

Auction Sales.

There have been two auction sales of

es] ial interest in this city lately. The

first took place on Tuesday of last week
a I the Flower .Market, when the delin-
quent stock of the company was sold to
satisfy the second assessment of 25 per
cent due August 1. Only eight shares
were sold in three lots, the prices were
100, 100 and 105, a pretty good showing.
Fred Ilalunan, Edwin Lonsdale and C.
E. Meehan were the successful bidders.
il"- oJ the buyers had to go home
jingling their money in their pockets.

The s id was a great plant sale held

at Forty-ninth and Market streets on
Wednesday and Thursday of this week,
the stock comprising a great variety of
palms, ferns, crotons, liens, cyclamens,
pandanus and many other things in all
sizes from 3-inch pots up to 24-inch tubs,
offered by William K. Harris and Rob-
ert Craig & Son. John P. Cleary, who
has a reputation as a clever plant auc-
tioneer, was brought over from New
York for the occasion. This is the first
auction sale of its kind held in this city
since the very successful sale held by the

s: auctioneer at Pitcher & Manda's

some years ago, when that firm went ou1
of business. A number of New York
growers have held fall plant auctions on
their places to make room for winter.
The leading auctioneers in New York
have also held frequent sales at their
rooms. To these sales both Messrs. Craig
and Harris have occasionally contributed
l.\ sending over a. carload of such fine
stock that the Philadelphia palms be-
came noted for their excellence and were
eagerly looked for by the buyers. This
year Mr. Craig wanted space so badly
that he felt the time had come for this
citj to try a plant auction, so he and
Mr. Harris combined and the result is a
large sale, lots of stuff and lots of
buyers.

The St. Louis World's Fair.

Messrs. Eisele and Clark, of the firm
of Henry A. Dreer, returned some time
ago from a flying trip to St. Louis.

Their objective point was the World's
Pair, where, after carefully going over
the grounds and plans, they decided to
take a space, 275x220 feet, or about one
and a third aires, stretching from the
Horticulture to the Agriculture build-
ing. Also they will fill two lakes with
aquatics, aggregating about one and a
half acres. This will give a rough idea
of the size of this firm 's exhibit at St.
Louis next year. Mr. Eisele was much
impressed with the immense scale on
which everything is being carried out at
the coming exposition.

Florists' Club Meeting.

The annual meeting of the Florists'
Club was held last Tuesday evening.
The election of officers resulted in the
unanimous choiee of President John
Westcoit, Vice President David Eust,
Secretary Ed. Lonsdale, and Treasurer
J. William Colflesh. Edward Eeid read
an interesting paper, giving ideas of the
west. Walter 11. Whetstone gave a prac-
tical talk on vacuum heating, which he
illustrated with air valves, showing how

fuel may lie e, miized. Both speakers

were listened to with close attention.

Notes.

the H. A. Dreer corporation.

anthemums to S. S. Pennock.

George Barnett, of Oxford, Pa., de-
M.tes his place almost entirely to carna-
tions. He does Flora Hill and Joost
very well.

Mrs. R. C. Smith. Secane, Pa., is cut-
ting some of the finest violets that come
into the market.

Edward Eeid had a large order on
Monday for 1,500 each of white carna-
tions and roses and 1,100 valley.

William J. Baker finds the sale of
white carnations exceptionally heavy
lately.

Joseph Kift & Son, West Chester, have
actively pushed their repairs, and,
weather permitting, will have all their
glazing done- this week. The roses were
not much injured, but some of the other
plants weie l.adly .-at up. Mr. Kift was
able to make a very advantageous glass
purchase.

S. S. Pennock 's place is made gor-
geous by the quantities of showy dahlias
displayed there each morning.

Bowling.

The following very interesting account
and BCore of the match played on the
boms alleys last week shows a spirited
contest from start to finish. The names-,
Wholesaler and Retailer, gave waj to
those of Grower and Dealer.

The first games of the series between
the Growers and Dealers, as expected,
proved close and exciting. The first
game went to the former, with a margin
of twenty-seven pins. In the second
game the Dealers braced up and won by
forty-seven pins, leaving them in tin-
lead by twenty. The third game proved
equally exciting until tin- finish, when the
Growers showed their superiority by win
ning the contest by eighty pins. Second

I"he Market,

Since a week ago supplies have in-
creased all along the line and qualities
have improved, but there is warm
weather all around us, north, west and
south, and it looks as if we shall have
a fen warm days to take the crispness
out of the roses and till the markel with
soft stork. Trade is fair bu1 it is largely
out-of-town demand and somewhat er-
ratic.

Beauties are in large supply, but the
.-all t..t them has improved with the
quality, and several times lute orders
could not l"- filled. Brides and Maids,

are showing g I length of si, on. and

with autumn weather would s i supply

all that could In- asked for quality.
Meteors seem to not have developed so
rapidly, and are still small and short.
Liberty is doing better. Chatenay and
Sunrise are plentiful and good. A low
good Kaisorin are still scon. There are
plenty of carnations, all the way from
very poor to remarkably good. I'no-
are fair on good stock, for the demand is
such that the best material goes quickly,
and it is frequently impossible to fill
late orders for special colors. Violets
are better and very good chrysanthe-
mums are seen in liberal quantity, rather
earlier than usual this year. Dahlias are
more numerous than ever before in this
market, and selling pretty well the last
week or two. It looks as though the
supply of greens this year will break all
records.

Notes.

We are to have a (lower show again
this fall and indications point toward a
great show. \b,,ut $2,000 is to be di-
vided up in premiums and some very
liberal ones are offered. Ours is to be
about the only large show in this part
of the country and there should be plenty
of competition to make things lively.
Tli, more the merrier, you know. The
premium list has been revised and is
ready for distribution. Drop I. Berter-
niann a postal and he will send you one.

Sidney Smith, of the firm of Baur &

trip to Texas, his former home. He

says Indianapolis is good enough for
him, both the carnation and the town.

The coal situation promises to be as
interesting to some of our boys this win-
ter as it was last. Those who pushed
the coal company early have their sup-
plies, but those who allowed them to
choose their own time for delivery are
now beginning to feel uneasy. Some
have a few tons, while others have none,
and winter almost here. The railroads
are already unable to transport the coal
fast enough, and what will it be when
actual freezing weather sets in? "With
-I much to lose in a single night without
coal, surely the florist should make
doubly sure of his fuel supply early in
the summer by getting it into his place.

Cloudy weather has been the rule for
the past, week and indoor flowers have
not been plentiful. Carnations are off
crop with most of the growers at pres-
ent, as everyone is in the midst of re-
planting. Outside 'mums are not yet
offered in quantity, but the prospects are
for a very bountiful crop. Roses are
really scarce and cannot be had in quan-
titj at oiu price. A few fair Brides and

Outside flowers are beginning to get

shabby and we. cannot count on much of
anything else in that line except chrys-

where and is of good quality. Maiden-
hair fern is getting somewhat scarce.

The Weekly Florists' Review.

The Market.
Trade in the cut flower Hue was some-
lull the past week, owing to a
spell of warm weather. The outlook for
the month of October is very encourag-
ing, as several of the florists havi

for large decorations. As one

West End florists said, just as
soon as the cooler weather sets in, then
"society" will resume its entertain-

uid we will all be busy. The

Vailed Prophet ball this week will no

doubt make a big demand for Beauties

and other roses of the fancy grades and

es t<> advance somewhat.

of all kinds has been very plenti-
ful and will no doubt continue so if the
warm weather keeps up. In roses some
extra fine grades of Brides, Meteors and
Caraots are seen. Bridesmaids are still
off color and are poor sellers. The best
of these are now $7 per 100, and as low
or shorts. In Beauties selects are
somewhat limited at $3 per dozen; sec-
onds and shorts are somewhat more
plentiful, and the demand fair. Violets
are beginning to come in more plenti-
fully, but are pale and imperfect as yet
and there is little sale for them. They
bring only 25 cents per 100. Carnations
have improved in quality and some very
fine stock has been coming in of all varie-
ties except Daybreak. A big lot of field-
grown flowers'is coming in, but sales on
them are small compared with indoor
stock. Fancies bring $2, but the bulk
is sold at from $1 to $1.50 per 100.
Field-grown are 50 cents. White has the
best demand. Valley is good in quality
and demand, but is not overplentiful at
present. The best brings $4 per 100.
All outdoor flowers are selling slowly ex-
cept tuberose stalks, which have a good
demand at $4. Smilax and other greens
are in fairly good demand.

FOE a reliable, free growing and free
selling variety for general use there is
in. forcing tomato o surpass the old
Lorillard.

Tomato forcing is a considerable in-

dusl i ni Bucks i ■ . Pi ansylvania.

W. W. Allabaugh, of Silverdale, has
just completed a -pan of three new
houses eaeli loxlJ" ami has his whole
ill of tomatoes. Herbert S. Nace.
ol Sellersville, has added two housesj
16x120, trebling his capacity, all in to-
inatoes. At Perkasie there are three
who make this vegetable a specialty. Of
these J. H. Werst has built a large shed
i ■ his fertilizer and D. H. Werst
has Imilr a large brick chimney.

CAULIFLOWER.
This is a very satisfactory crop to
grow, as it is less subject to disease or
insect enemies than any vegetable gener-
ally used for forcing. If this crop is
intended to take the placi of chrysanthe-
mums when these are cleared from the
seed should be got in without
delay, as about seven weeks is required
to get the plants large enough for plant-
ing in the benches. Snowball or Dwarf
Erfurt are the best varieties we have
tried for forcing. Thej an- both dwarf
growers and sun headers. The seeds
should be sown rather thinly in flats and
Hats after the
Srsl rough leal has ed, setting them

al i two es i part each way. They

should be shaded for a few days after
handling, but afterwards kept well ex-
posed i ' light and freely aired. If
raised benches are used for this crop
ample provision should be made for
drainage and the benches should be deep

igh to allow of about six inches of

soil. The soil, good sod earth, moder-
ately enriched with well rotted manure,
should have been got together a few
months before it is intended to be used
and should be turned over two or three
times so as to get it well broken up and
thoroughly mixed. At the last turning
a sprinkling of lime should be worked
in to help destroy worms and insects.
i-tanee apart for the plants in
ich may vary, according to the
head required. In some markets
it has of late been quite a fad to get
small heads, about the size of a tennis
1 1a 1 1 I leing considered best, but other
markets demand larger heads.

To procure small heads one foot apart
would be about the right distance, but if
larger heads are desired fourteen inches
had betti i be allowed. Water should
bi applied sparingly just after planting
and only around the plants until the
roots have taken a good hold of the soil,
ineh a more plentiful supply can
be given, but overwatering should be
guarded against, as the plants are sure
■lie inactive should the soil be-
come in any way soured. A night tem-
perature of from 50 to 55 degrees, and
■ mperature of 70 degrees is about
what ought to be maintained. Air should
he freely admitted on all favorable occa-

- and the atmosphere of the house

is better to be kept moderately dry

rather than moistun li a, as the latter

condition would be apt I" cause soft
growth and be productive of leaves
rather than heads.

CLEVELAND.

The Market.
The past week has shown a decided
improvement in all lines of demand, and
the supply has kept even with it, except-
ing good carnations, which are very hard
to get, as very few of our growers are
cutting any from indoor plants. Asters
are almost done for this season, but will

not be misled, as ilublias coming in

freely, and the best this market has ever
seen. The demand for them
strong and at good prices.

Notes.

On October 1 the Citizens Savings

;:ud Trust Company opened its new sky-
scraper ami banking office on Euclid ave-
nue. This raus. •,! a lug demand for fine
(lowers and gay,, the downtown stores a

He leaves a widow, having been married

and has taken a number of prizes for

The Market.

i nrysanthemums have failed to oiak.
their appearance in this market, and with
the present high temperature it is just
as well that they have not. Trade holds
up remarkably well. Pall openings have

not I n very profitable to the florists,

as but few flowers have been used.

II s a fair lot of funeral work being

dene right along, which helps to use
up the large quantities of short-stemmed

roses that art ming in. The supply of

really good roses is very limited and
not many that bring over 4 cents are
seen. Liberty is in good demand, with
a very limited supply. Beauties are
more plentiful and ,,f very good quality.
A few Sunrise now and then go well.
There are very IV w carnations being cut
at present by growers about this city,
The market is being supplied by out-of-
town growers. Carnations as a whole
are bringing a higher price this year
than last, especially short-stemmed and
field-grown stock. Other outdoor stock
is virtually out of the market.

Notes.

J. W. Bodgers has just finished plant-
ing carnations. He is growing a great
many 'mums this year, but reports a
discoloration of the leaves, caused by a
small worm, which works in the interior

of i he lea i causing it to turn black. It
does not seem to affect the growth of
the plant, but will undoubtedly affect
its value as a cut flower.

RANDOM NOTES.

Warrex, Pa. — W. M". Lott has retired'
from business for the present, being un-
able to secure a renewal of lease for
greenhouses. Dan Offerle is making many
improvements, including the erection of
a handsome store with living rooms
above for his son, who has just returned
from his wedding trip, which included
a visit to liis craftsmen across the line.
He reports stock at Dunlop 's and Dale 's
in splendid shape. Says all eyes are

for this. R. C. Reymlers has no kick
coming either, business being the best
in several years past. He has made
several improvi'int tits during the sum-
mer, including a fine storage shed for
hardy stock. Being located close to the
principal cemeteries, such work is large.
He finds hardy lilies very useful during

MISCELLANEOUS
SEASONABLE HINTS.

Roses for the Garden.

There is nothing you are i i Ere

quently asked for in the spring, and more
rarely well supplied with, than bedding
roses. Our people very properly want
roses in their garden. This is especially
the case with those who have a summer
home by the hike or riverside, somewhere
"far from the maddening crowd." The
desire and liking for a summer home of a
few acres is most properly pervading all
classes, from the multi-millionaire who
has his 1,000 acres and castle cottage, to
the city doctor, who has a pleasant
cottage a few miles out of town. The
eerj rich, even if their tastes do not run
to flowers, will have them for appearance
-nkc. and the dwellers in less pretentious
homes will be sure, by their environment,
to imbibe a love for cultivating plants
and flowers. They will find that many
things they could not get to grow at all

have within a few years acquired summer
homes and are now floricultural enthu-
siasts, who before that barely knew the
distinction between a tea rose and a
hollyhock.

These rural residents seldom go in for
formal flower gardening. Beds of gera-
niums, carpet bedding, or long lines of
coleus they don't care for. They want
beds of roses, borders of herbaceous
plants, clumps of grasses, flowering
shrubs, etc., and that is a taste that is
mosl essentially proper. Hybrid per-
petual roses, the noblest of all the uni-
versal favorites, are sure to hold a prom-
inent place in all such gardens. If you
are asked to supply them now, don't do
it unless you badly want to make a sale.
I usually sav: "Yes. they can be plant-

from them this winter ami would run the
risk of losing many. Better wait until
spring, when, if properly planted, there
is no risk." This advice is invariably
accepted, t am aware this is no! the waj
a tree peddler would talk, but he belongs
to a section of humanity utterly apart
from the responsible nurseryman or
florist.

Reliable Varieties.
In passing I will just say to any of
\ on »ho have a few hundred good plants
of hybrid perpetual roses in the field that
you intend to lift and force for Easter,
don't touch them yet; let a good frost

ripen the w I. Tic- sec 1 week in No

vember is early enough to lift the Ram-
biers and within a week or two I will

hove somethi

about the treat-

ment of these roses from the time of lift-
ing until they are brought into heat that
I think is a very valuable hint to many.
h was very valuable to me, which is
why I think so. Fragrant, large, rich in
color, as are the H. P. roses, it is a mis-
nomer to call them perpetual, and when
the middle of July is here their burst of
bloom is over. Not so with the tea or

are so constantly asked for and, to re-
peat, too often poorly able to supply
and, worse than that, unable to buy. 1
am not competent to give a list of all

tic ,-w-ibl ing summer roses. A man

like E. <i. Hill knows perhaps fifty va-
rieties that would be very satisfactory
and bloom constantly from June until
hard frost puts them to sleep.

A few I do know from having grown
them, anil these belong to several classes.
Ahead of all we must put the pink and
white Aline. Cochet, and then comes
Souv. du President Carnot, Duchess de
Brabant, Admiral Schley, Perle des Jar-
dins. Gomtesse Breteuil, Eloile de Lyon,
Marie Van Houtte, Mme. Joseph
Schwartz, Marie Guillot, Papa Gontier
and Sunset. Years ago we grew out of
doors and cut by the armfull those good
old true tea roses that are so little heard
of now, Bon Silene, Safrano and Isa-
bella Sprunt. One hardly knows how
beautiful is a bud of Safrano unless he
litis seen them growing in the cool month
of October. Then there is the grand La
France, which I suppose is a true hybrid
tea, but is usually treated as a hardy
hybrid perpetual.

A much longer list of summer bloom-
iug roses could be made, but even if you
had but half a dozen of the best, you
could satisfy a great majority of your

customers; and if you wa
your own cutting, then by
a well-cared for bed of the

ts. Bridesmaid

and Bride, are no success

rut of doors.

To Get Good Plants.

Now, there tire more ways than one of
having good plants of these garden roses
in offer in April and May. They cannot
be sold cheap; it takes time and space to
produce them. There is a great distinc-
tion between the tea roses and the H. P.
.lass. The latter lose their foliage in win-
ter and completely .rest, the same as our
hardy deciduous shrubs. The tea roses
may naturally rest partially in winter,
where they are hardy, but they are ever-
green and won't stand to be dug up and
heeled in all winter in a cold frame or
root house. They want light and, al-
though their roots may not be very ac-
tive in winter, some growth is going on.
The cuttings of any of the roses men-
tioned above, taken from plants outside,
will roof readily now. in sand, with or
without bottom heat. When rooted they
should have a house that is from 50 to
55 degrees until the roots are active in
the pot. After that they can be put. into
;i cool house, no matter how cool. A few
degrees of frost will do no harm. But
remember that these tea roses are not
hardy in our northern states. They will
stand 15 or even 20 degrees of frost
without harm, but you don't want to
freeze them. Keep at from 35 to 40 de-
grees on cool nights. Xow, from the time

you put them into the cool house until
the middle of next February or the first
of March they are partially resting. Then
shift them into 4-inch pots and gi\e them
a light bench and a little higher night
temperature, pinching off shoots where
they want to send up a bud, and
by the first of May you have a
splendid bedding plant that will
quickly start to grow and flower.
Don't force them while under glass.
Don't give them your rose house tem-
perature of 56 to 58 degrees, or you will
have a tender plant and mildew. Also
try not to let them be over 50 degrees at
night at any time before planting out.
Xow, this is' no more labor than we put
on zonale geraniums, and, although you
may not sell one-tenth as many as you do
of geraniums, you can get fifty per cent
more for the i"-< - : ■ 1 1 . 1 . I think, get more
to the square foot. And the reason you
don 't sell more is because you don 't have
them and people who buy their gerani-
ums and coleus of you send away to some
catalogue man for their roses.

Lifting Plants in Autumn.
I was told three years ago that Mme.
Cochet did not do so well, that is, flower
so well from plants that had been lifted
in the fall and wintered over as on young
plants treated as I have tried to explain.
This has not been convincing with me
and I have seen two-year-old plants of
Tochet and Carnot do splendidlv. Yiuir
customers, ninety-nine out of 100, are
taken with size and therefore if von have
any roses of the varieties mentioned, lift
them before a hard frost. Now they can
be lifted, and with proper treatment they
will be most captivating plants by next
May. Here is just my experience with a
few hundred Cochet and Carnot last win-
ter, and all the other desirable summer
blooming tea roses want just the same
treatment. They were plants that had
ben put out the end of the previous
May. They were microscopically small,
not quite so small as the bacillus of gen-
erosity, nor yet the size of the germ of
prevarication: that is, 500 would go into
a cigar box. Thev were bought of a firm
that raises 14.000.000 roses in the space
where one-half a million might be, but
they grew and flowered some. Their start
was their handicap.

About the middle of October thev were
lifted, cut back to within four to six
inches of the ground and potted firmly
in 4-inch pots. You see thev were small;
larger plants would need a 5-inch. They
were placed in a violet house where the
ruo-lif temperature was little, if any,
above 40 degrees and sometimes lower.
Thev did not wilt a leaf and soon had
roots ETOwinff. There thev remained with
no shift until the follow-ing May. being
given one or two moves to spread them
out for more room. The warmth of spring
brought them along, and by the first of
May they were full of strong shoots and
flower buds and we could have sold ten
times the quantity. Everyone who saw
them wanted some. Withal, it is a very
simple but sure operation. Those who can
not give them a bench in a very cool
house can do just about as well with a
good, fight cold frame, and' those who
don't happen to have any of these roses
in the ground would do well to buy of
some nurseryman a few hundred plants
now and treat them as T have described.
Tn conclusion, T would like to hear
from Mr. Gurney Hill as to what he
would recommend as the best ten summer
blooming tea hybrid, Bourbon or China
roses. William Scott.

ROSES.

Seasonable Hints.

Those who contemplate using grafted
stock for next season's planting should
now make arrangements for the requi-
site supply of Manetti stocks, as it will
soon be time to begin preparing these
for work. If the stocks are home-grown
they should be lifted and potted before
hard Frost sets in. The imported dor-
mant stocks should be potted as soon as
they arrive, so as to give them ample
time to form good roots without having
to resort to forcing, as they are very
impatient of heat when they are first
potted.

They should be put into 2%-inch pots,
and where the roots are too large a lit-
tle judicious root pruning will do them
no harm. They should then be thor-
oughly watered and placed in a tempera-
ture of from 35 to 40 degrees. They
will require very little watering between
the time of potting and the time they
are wanted for use, .just as much as will
keep the bark in a fresh condition. By
this method they will form nice, fibrous
roots, which will be ready to go to work
on the first application of heat, while
the eyes will yet remain unbroken.

To the manner in which they are cared
for during this period can be attributed
a good deal of the success or failure of
the grafting operation. Rut as few
growers care to begin grafting till after
New Year's, I will reserve my remarks
on this class of work till that season.

Now that the days are getting shorter
and the afternoon sun dips so quickly,
great care should be taken with the ven-
tilation. The ventilators should be raised
with every 5 degrees of raise in the tem-

perature of the house during the fore-
noon, until the maximum is reached, and
they should be lowered with the same
care and patience in the afternoon. Many
a nice house of plants is brought to the
verge of ruin by allowing the tempera
tore to jump from 60 degrees in the
morning to 75 or 80 degrees by neglect-
ing this seemingly trivial detail, and
then allowing them to drop from noon-
day temperature to 60 degrees or below
without any gradation.

Extra care in this matter and in prop-
erly gauging the supply of water neces-
sary during the next few months will, or
should, be one of the most important
duties of the grower, as carelessness, ig-
norance or neglect will most surely lead
to disaster. Exercising sound judgment
in regard to syringing will save us from
many mental worries. This is part of
the work which in many places is con-
sidered part of the daily routine and
which could be in a great measure cur-
tailed. If the houses have been care-
fully attended to and the spider kept out
during the summer months, there will be
much less use for the syringe till the
days begin to lengthen.

A careful examination of each bench
two or three times a week will reveal
the spots where spider has got a foot-
hold and by paying attention to these
spots spider can be kept from spreading.
When it is necessary to syringe a whole
house, or houses, always select a bright,
clear morning and do the work thor-
oughly, keeping the temperature 10 de-
gibes' higher ll.an the normal during the
• >, (ration to prevent chilling, and giv-
ing plenty of ventilation till the foliage
is again dry, even at the expense of an
all-day fire. Ribes.

TWO STERLING NOVELTIES.

There are several of the novelties show-
ing wonderful promise and two of these
that are at this date, October 11. fully
developed from early buds, are Cheltoni
and William Duckham. I have in the
past ten years seen many novelties eoiue
and go, but never have I seen a variety
that showed more promise than do these.
Cheltoni is the yellow spnrt of Nellie
Porkrtt. having the same ideal habit of
growth, and will be largely grown when
it becomes generally distributed.

Nellie Pockett is a great favorite in
the east and its large size and artistic-
ally curled petals always command at-
tention. This yellow sport is a wonder-
ful color. As a general thing when a
white variety sports yellow the color is
very pale and undecided, but Cheltoni is
a clear, shining vellow as deep or deeper
in color than Halliday. "When Mrs. T.
W. Pockett came out last year I thought
it the most beautiful variety I had ever
seen. Placed alongside of Cheltoni. Mrs.
Pockett is poor by comparison and those
who are growing this latter variety this
year will appreciate the fact that this is
a strong statement to make.

If any other growers have Cheltoni 1
hope they will give their experience with
it to the public. One cannot hear too
much about a new variety. Like its

parent, Cheltoni should be taken on the
crown bud. The terminal bud is deficient
in petalage. One bud this year was taken
August 3 and it developed perfectly.
Later crowns are showing just as well,
hut will be somewhat later to finish. A
bud taken before August 20 is apt to be
finished and gone before the exhibitions.

The other variety, William Duckham.
is of Australian birth and is the most
striking advance in its color since the
days of Viviand-Morel. It is an incurv-.
ing pink, showing deeper color inside the
petal and under artificial light has a
finish like the finest satin ribbon. I was
prepared for a fine novelty in this va-
riety, as it took the silver medal in Edin-
burgh last year, for the best novelty not
in commerce, but it has gone away ahead
of all expectations.

Imagine a flower eight inches across,
perfectly shaped, with broad, massive
petals, some of them almost an inch
across, and withal a finish as fine as
Meiza at its best. The habit of the plant
is ideal, a clean, strong grower, perfectly
healthy and not a fault so far as I can
see. One bud was taken early in August
to test it on all kinds of buds and this
hud is now developed. Later buds are
showing up grandly and doubtless many
who read these notes will see this variety
at some of the eastern exhibitions. 1
predict for it in the future a place as the

standard pink for either commercial or
exhibition purposes. I hope presently to
get a photograph of this variety so that
readers can form their own conclusions.
I know of no pink that begins to compare
with this in size and finish and the origi-
nal owner of its name may well be proud
to have such a variety called after him.

Wm. Duckham is a fitting mate for
rinrkell, Lord Salisbury and other Aus-
tralian varieties that were first brought
to the notice of chrysanthemum lovers in
America through these columns.

CHRYSANTHEMUM RUST.
I send herewith some blooms of Tim-
othy Eaton chrysanthemum which are in-
fested with a disease which I call rust.
On the under side of the leaf you will
see a spot which will appear on one leaf
and quickly spread all over the bench. I
tried to stop it by pulling off the leaves
that were affected, but it did no good. I
have not fired at night. Have been very
careful in watering, in fact running
them on the dry side. What is the cause
and remedy? ' F. H. M.

The correspondent is correct in assum-
ing that the spots noticed on the under
side of the leaves submitted, are the
spores of the disease known as rust. The
question as to what causes the rust is not
so easy to answer. I first saw this dis-
ease about six years ago, and I believe
it was imported from Europe on some
varieties about that time. Since then it
has cropped up more or less every year,
but never assumed the seriousness here
that it did in Europe. It seems to be
more in evidence this year than usual,
owing no doubt to the wet summer, as it
spreads very rapidly in a moisture laden
atmosphere.

The best remedy is to keep the atmos-
phere and the foliage of the plants as
dry as possible. Pick off any foliage
that can be easily spared and then spray
with sulphide of potassium, proportions
one ounce to two gallons of water. This
will prevent the rust from spreading if
the spraying is faithfully performed;
that is to say, if every portion of the
under side of the leaf is wet with the
moisture. The sulphide can be obtained
in any good drug store. Be sure to get
the name right, as the sulphate of potas-
sium is a different article.

The rust has often been spoken of in
these notes, and how to keep it in check,
as your correspondent will find if he
look's up his back numbers. After the
crop of flowei« has been cut, look very
carefully over I he plants retained^ for
stock and any time during the winter
that a spot of rust appears spray the
plants over, as now advised. By this
means the rust can be cleaned out before
another growing season.

CARNATIONS FROM POTS.

What advice would you give as to the
benching of carnations out of 2ri-incb

pots

Just what course of procedure the cor-
respondent has in mind is not altogether
clear to me. His letter does not state
clearly just what he wishes to know.
Surely he does not intend to plant car-
nations on his benches taken from 2%-
inch pots at this time of the year, for

winter fir

ig, at least. That would

be wasting room and labor most foolishly,
as he could not possibly expect a decent

to buy good field-grown plants from
some reliable grower, of whom there are
several advertising in the Review. Lose
no time in getting I hem planted, as it is
getting very late and it will take skill-
ful handling to get a fair crop of good
blooms by Christmas. You need not
throw those young plants away, however.
Set them in a cool house or in a pit wher?
they »ill live over winter and in the early
spring plant them out for summer bloom-
ing. Repot into 3-inch if necessary, but
keep them growing slowly and top them
close right along to keep the plants com-
pact. If S. W. C. wants directions re-
garding planting his carnations on the
benches from pots in the spring, he will
likely find them in these articles towards
spring. I would advise him to propagate
and grow his stock along much the same,
at the beginning at least, as he would
for planting in the field. The most up-
to-date method (except for one or two
varieties) is to plant out in open as
early as possible and lift early in July.
This gives the plants that strong, sturdy
growth as a base to work on, while all
the blooming shoots are grown inside
and there is no cheek to the growth after
the rapid fall growth commences.

PROFITABLE BUSINESS.

Do your customers know that you can
execute orders for the prompt delivery
of cut flowers or floral designs for any
occasion, anywhere in the United States?
Why not let them know"? Such business
is easily handled and affords a fair profit.

Many leading retailers display neat
signs in their windows announcing that
they can deliver flowers in any city in
the United States for funerals or any
other purpose. Another way would be to
print such a sentence on bills and let-
ter heads, or a neatly printed card
might be enclosed in each package where
the proprieties would permit, or it might
be mailed to your list of customers in
the form of an announcement. As soon
as it becomes known that you can de-
liver funeral pieces a thousand miles
away at a few hours' notice you will
have a steady call for such service.

The page of "Leading Retail Flor-
ists'" which appears regularly in this
paper affords the means of filling or-
ders in every principal city in the United
States. This page is open only to firms
of known standing and whose equip-
ment is adequate to meet any calls of
this character. Most of them already
do a considerable amount of business
on mail or telegraphic orders.

WORK WITH VIOLETS.

There are several things that are con-
ducive to good violets. In fact, the right
conditions are necessary for success with
all kinds of flowers, but especially so
with violets, as they are more suscepti-
ble to poor surroundings than many
other plants. Ono thing that we refer
to is cleanliness. You may have heard
me mention this before, but there is
nothing aside from unfavorable weather
conditions that is much worse for violets.
A house with more or less weeds, dirt,
rubbish and with only an occasional
clearing out will surely develop diseased

A MUSHROOM INDUSTRY.

The greater portion of St. Paul, Minn.,

is Inlaid with sandstone. This rock

readily pulverizes on being expn-i I to
the wind and air, but hid beneath the
earth'- surface is as enduring as the
everlasting hills. Many years tie,, 1:et
eaves were dug out of this reek, mainly
Eoi the purpose i I Btoring beer. With
modern met!, mi- t'..i -•. ling .and ''aging''
beer, these caves fell into disuse, until
L. F. Lambert, a few years since, con-
ceived the idea of growing mushrooms
in them. He lias rented them in several
sections of the city and now has over
two acres of iloor surface devoted to
the industry, operating as the Minnesota
Mushroom Company.

The caverns for the most part consist
of groups of passages ranging in width
from eight to twelve feet and in length
from fifty to 300 feet, being from six
to ten feet in height. Ventilation holes
from the side or top are put in at con-
venient intervals, so that a proper sup
ply of pure air is maintained in all
parts of the cave.

While there are several hundred varie-
ties of edible mushrooms found growing
wild, but two varieties have yielded to
cultivation and only one is generally

The mushroom requires a very even

temperature for its development, from

55 to 57 degrees. The other cultivated

known as Agmicus subrufeseens

will not thrive under 7- degrees.

is used exclusively for making the beds
into which, after they heat and become
properly decomposed, the spawn is
planted at distances of twelve to fifteen
inches each way and in four or five
weeks after planting the mushrooms ap-
pear. At the proper stage of their de
velopment they are picked and shipped
to market. In shipping light tomato
boxes holding about two and a half
pounds each are used. These are shipped
in refrigerator shipping cases holding
LOO pounds each, the most of them going
to New York City, some to Chicago and
other nearby cities.

Mjr. Lambert informs me that St. Paul
Flops more mushrooms than any city in
the country and also enjoys the distinc-
tion of shipping mushrooms every month
in the year, a distinction unknown in
any other city. He employs seven men
throughout the year and ships one or more
cases daily. Prices vary, but the aver-

SCIENTIFIC SPAWNING.

1 no ago has some of the lagest mush-
room growing establishments in tho

- try. (May and Jackson each had

about 200,000 square feet in bed , and

there are many others, several of whom

were visited last spring by Prof. B. M.
Duggar, of Columbia, Mo., who is pre-
paring an exhibit for the mushroom in-
dustry as a part of the display of the
IT. S. Department of Agriculture at the
St. Louis World's Fair. Prof. Duggar
was particularly impressed with the
methods of Paul Swanson, on West
Forty-seventh street, who was having

g I success by the use of wild spawn,

gathered on the pastures and manufac-
tured into bricks on the place. Some of
this spawn was very prolific, some of it
exactly the opposite. Prof. Duggar told
Mr. Swanson of his experiments with
what he calls pure culture spawn and the
result is that Mr. Swanson is using noth-
ing else this season. This spawn is
grown direct from the best mushrooms,
either from the spores or tissue in glass
tubes in sterilized manure. It grows
rapidly and is very rigorous. It has not
yet been tried on a large scale but Mr.
Swanson was so well pleased with his
first trial that he decided to stake his
season's business on it. One of the ac-
companying illustrations shows the stages
through which the spawn passes, the cul-
tures in the glass tube, the brick and the
crop. The other picture show the first
bed spawned with this material. The
bed was of about 100 square feet and
only four or five inches deep and was
spawned at a very unfavorable season,
Juno 1, when the weather was very
warm. The picture was taken July 18,
and in the next three days of cool
weather forty-six pounds of mushrooms
were picked.

THE POT WASHER.

One man to whom the grower, or at
least the grower's helper, should be
grateful is our old-time friend, (.'. E.
Finley, of Joliet, the lawn rake in-
ventor, who lias recently eome forward
with a pot-washing machine which has
proven a great labor-saver in practical
a. The machine was shown at
the S. A. V. convention at Milwaukee
and probably attracted more attention
from the growers than any other one ex-
hibit in the hall. The machine is simple
m its construction and is built to run
either with foot power or a small, inex-
lec! ric motor.

The pot washer has a hollow brush,
carried on a hollow shaft, and is made to
revolve rapidly; is provided with a hose
connection, the water allowed to pass
down through the hollow shaft and mil
at the end of the brush, while the brush
is in motion. The brush and shaft being
on an incline, the water flows down to
the bottom of the pot, where the brush
can pick ii up to scrub the inside and
butt. mi of the pot while it is held on the
brush by the operator. The outside of
the pot is washed by reversing it. The
pots having been soaked, a small amount
of water is required and there is but
little slop. The brush is made of fiber,
and is cylindrical in shape to fit the pot.
The inventor says in his literature that
with the machine one can easily wash

-'. pots a day; growers who have

have been able to wash 10,000 a
day with a man at the machine and two
boys to bring and carry away the pots.

Another of Mr. l-'inley's devices is a
mulch truck, a three-wheeled deep box
built for use in the narrow walks of a
greenhouse.

PITTSBURG CLUB EXHIBITION.

Md.. and from W. P. Pel k. Atco, X.

tiful blossoms that the club dot. irmined
the proper thing to do on such an ocea-
snui would be to o.i a hall and make a
public exhibition, free to everybody, and

tins is probably what will be done next
year.

In the afternoon the flowers had been
:i 1 1 a nged on long tables around the hall
and each exhibit kept by itself. In the
evening a long table was set in the cen-
ter of the room and on it wore placed all

of the flowers i u exhibitor. Then

the flowers wen- separately examined and
thoroughly ilis.-ussoil. \\ lion finished, this
exhibit was cleared away to one of the
side tables and the next exhibitor's flow-
on the center table, and so on un-
til all were seen and considered. Then,
after the meeting, each newspaper re-
porter got a big bunch of fine flowers to
carry home to his family; so did each
of our visitors, and the remainder were
apportioned among the members. And
going home along the street and in the
cars didn't we make a sensation with our
arms full of dahlias and cannas! On the
ear I had to open my bunch and give a
bloom to every man and woman in the
ear and to the conductor too, and before
long we were all acquainted and all talk-
ing flowers.

Henry A. Dreer 's exhibit came first
upon the table and it was an eye-opener
to mosi of us. It contained sueh subjects
as bloom naturally in the late summer
and fall months and comprised three
colors of Japan anemones, the red, the

m i lharlotte and the white

ya i, I.-. the way, some of our florists, at
the time of the Milwaukee convention,
saw a florist's window in Chicago with
a full decoration of one of the liatrises
and described it at our September meet-
ing as being one of the most striking
things in the flower line they had seen
on the trip. The ageratum-like Cono-
i liniuin ci'lcstinum, one of the tall, blue-
flowered veronicas, V. maritima; the
narrow-leaved Texas ironweed (Vernonia
Lindheimeri), several kinds of rudbeekia,
and a fine form of the elegant little cone-
flower, Lepachys eolumnaris, were also
shown.

cial seed novelty of Stokesia cyanea, a
beautiful thistle-like composite with very
large, bluish-purple flowers. Although

i. i\ i grown this plant for thirty years,

as it was shown at our meeting. Every-
liu.lv was in love with the long, branch-
ing, wand-like, snow white spikes of

over winter, they may be brought into
heat a little later, when they will start
into free growth and then they may be
propagated from cuttings almost as read-
ily as eoleus. They bloom the first year
from seed.

Another of Dreer 's flowers was the
showy, rose-purple Echinacea purpurea.
Henry H. Negley told us that he chewed
some ripe seed of this plant once and his
tongue became partially paralyzed. He
then called the attention of his neighbor,
Dr. Shafer, to the fact and the doctor
tried it, with the same result. A big
bunch of fiery pokers or torch lilies,
interna, or kniphofia, as they are now
called, set the boys agog. They were
mostly Pfitzeri and corollina. Some
urged that they would be of no use in
smoky Pittsburg; the soot in the atmos-
phere would blacken them to unsightli-
ness; whereupon the president took an-
other bunch that had come from Schen-
ley park, which is in one of the sootiest
parts of the city, and at a little distance
the members couldn't tell the difference
in brightness between the torch lilies of
Pittsburg and those of Philadelphia. One
of the prettiest Schenley flowers was the
perennial scabios, Scabiosa eaucasica. It
is nasi I v raised from seed and keeps in
bloom until hard frost stops it.

On account of wet and stormy weather
and the lateness of the season the cannas
throughout the country were in poor con-
dition. We didn't expect to have any,
but we were most agreeably surprised.
Antoino Wintzer, of Conard & Jones,
West Grove, Pa., stopped over here on
his way to the S. A. F. convention and
told us of his success in breeding these
indispensable flowers and promised to
show them to us at our October incline.

whitest known eanna. It is very striking.
And Buttercup is the purest and bright-

in the greenhouse. We saw it in glorious
form in l'iers. m's greenhouses, at Tar-
rytown, last winter. Niagara has full,
bold spikes of rich crimson flowers, broad-
ly edged with gold. This is an excep-
tionally fine eanna. Brandywine has in-
tense crimson-red flowers. Cherokee was
still darker and more vividly glowing.
Duke of York has very large, deep crim-
son petals edged with yellow, throat

as Henderson, Bouvier, Yellow Crozy,
Kate Gray, Florence Vaughan, J. L>.

eral others.

About a hundred varieties of dahlia
were represented in the several collec-
tions and these included cactus-flowered,
large- flowered show sorts, fancy, pom-
pons, single and crested, and all were sur-
prisingly beautiful. Mr. Pierson's lot
was strong in vivid and variegated cac-
tus flowers, the Peacock lot in large show
flowers and the strangely crested beauty,
President Viger. The Vincent group was
the largest and Mr. Vincent came him-
self all the way from Maryland to tell
us how to grow dahlias, held the floor
for half an hour and has promised to
come back again. Gus and Julius Lud-
wig had several vases of fine, showy blos-
soms, especially of their type of A. D.
Livoni, which they call Ludwigiana.

Mr. Vincent mentioned the following
sorts as being extra good: Patrick Henry
and Grand Duke Alexis, white; Mrs. E.

NEW YORK.

The Market.

When I wrote a week ago of October
weather and sunshine we were at the
close of the ten most charming days of
the year. But since last Wednesday we
have had the longest and worst storm
ever known around New York, as you
have seen in the daily papers. The in
jury to the florists is great and the de-
struction in the parks is widespread. On
Monday night it is still raining. Ths
rivers are all above their banks and the
dread of further catastrophe remains.

Many of the growers from Jersey and
up the Hudson were in the city on Sat-
urday hours before their shipments ar-
rived. Xvaek goods were still on the

road at (i p. m. and Dorrencetou roses
were not in at four in the afternoon.
These are only samples of the general
disappointment, and yet enough stock
had arrived to flood the wholesalers and
a general air of depression prevailed.
Prices were at low ebb and the demand
unuoticeable, while on every hand the
chrysanthemum was abundant. What
will it be wHen the autumn queen really
begins to assert Itself? Prices have no
stability. Everything shared lust week
in the genera] slump, with the possible
excepti f the highest grade of Ameri-
can Beauties. Dahlias are now relegated
to the rear and asters are but a memory.
Violets stay at 50 cents for the best in
the market and are abundant. Thousands
of the second and third rate stock are
on the street.

Club Meeting.

The last meeting of the New York
Florists ' Club was held June S, so that
the first meeting of the new season, Oc-
tober 12, was very much like a reunion.
About forty members attended and a
more interesting meeting has seldom been
held. The next meeting occurs Novem-
ber 9, the day before the opening of the
great chrysanthemum exhibition here,
and, as tickets to the flower show will be
distributed to every member present,
timely notice is hereby given, so that

will be disappointed. In addition

the entertainment committee announces
special features for that evening that
should insure an attendance of at least
lf.it of its membership of 230. The new
rooms are perfect and the club has never
been so efficiently housed or conveniently
located.

The outing committee reported a total
expenditure of $888 in providing the
splendid success of the summer holiday,
a considerable excess of receipts over ex-
penses. General satisfaction w\as ex-
pressed and a commendatory speech by
Mr. Sheridan was followed by his own re-
port of the transportation committee,
which Mr. Wallace took occasion to also
commend. In Mr. Weathered 's final re-
port of the flower show of last year it
was announced that almost the entire
guarantee fund had been collected. Four

i inations for membership were made,

and President Troy then called upon
Alex. Wallace for his impressions of the
S. A. F. convention. Mr. Wallace paid a
fitting tribute to its benefits aud accom-
plishments, the important committees that
were appointed, the huge attendance, and
the immensity of its trade exhibits,
which he characterized as the finest that
had ever been seen at any convention in
his experience. He dwelt eloquently
upon the delights of the boat trip and
the generosity of the .Milwaukee and the
Chicago florists, closing with the assur-

i that it will "go down in history

as the finest convention the S. A. F. has
ever enjoyed."

Mr. O'Mara followed in a practical
review of tin mention from the mo-
ment he placed his destiny in the hands
of the efficient transportation committee
until the draughts and bree/es of the
Cream city placed him hors du combat
and forced him to return home minus
the dosing ceremonies and festivities. He
dwelt humorously on the up-to-date char-
acter of .Milwaukee and its ability to
take ■•time" by the forelock, as demon
strated in the theft of so many watches
from the society's members. His disap-
point nts included the club's bowling

record, but he found occasion for com-
fort in the fact that the three highest
scores compared favorably with those of

any team in the tournament, and the
grand record of 3,041 made by the New
lork team some years ago, which still
stands unbeaten and five pins ahead of
all competitors since the society was
born. He was delighted with the Mil-
waukee parks, especially the aquatics and
hardy perennials. He gave an interest-
ing criticism of the president's address
at Milwaukee, referring to labor unions,
the peony committee, and the coal strike.
He also dwelt upon the benefits which
had developed as a result of the Ashe-
ville convention and upon the wonderful
success that had been accomplished by
the Milwaukee florists.

Mr. Du Rie told of the enjoyment
which the convention afforded him, of
the beauty of Milwaukee, the pleasure of
his visit to Joliet, and his surprise at the
changes that had been wrought in Chi-
cngo since his last visit before the fire.

Fred Kelsey gave a very interesting
address on the inside history of the great
coal strike, with which he is thoroughly
conversant. The club moved a vote of
thanks in recognition of the unexcelled
courtesies of the Milwaukee and Chicago
florists, which was unanimously ap-
plauded.

Messrs. Lenker, Scott and Duckham
were appointed a committee to pass upon
an exhibit of seedling dahlias by H.
Beaulieu, of Woodhaven, and accorded
that gentleman a vote of thanks.

Arthur Herrington gave an interest-
ing address concerning the chrysanthe-
mum show to be given jointly by the
American Institute of New York and
the Chrysanthemum Society of America,
November 10, 11 and 12, in the great
hall at the top of the immense Macy
building. He spoke enthusiastically of
the prospects of this, the only flower
show in New York this year, and said its
success was already assured, as the co-
operation of ten regularly organized hor-
ticultural societies had been promised, in-
cluding those of Massachusetts and Penn-
sylvania and every society of importance
near New York city. The premium lists
are large, tickets exceeding 25,000 are
already printed and in his own words:
"it will lie an exhibition of chrysanthe-
mums such as the world has never seen
before. ' '

Mr. O'Mara spoke favorably of the
flower show, the interest which the club
would assuredly take, and the desire that
it would be continued under such aus-
pices for many years to come.

H. Beernaert.'of tin- (hands Etablisse-

nts d 'Horticulture, of Belgium, was a

visitor, chaperoned by Fred Atkins, and
spent at the club his first night in
America. Several of the members who
had visited Europe during the summer
were present, but the modesty of the
president, who was one of them, and the
lateness of the hour, postponed the for-
eign impressions until later in the season.

as a background adding greatly to the

London.
Samuel S. Pennock devoted one morn-
ing to studying the great Covent Gar-
den market during his recent trip abroad.
The quantity of cut flowers offered in
this great London mart was astonishing.
There was good variety. Both quality
ard price were below what we are accus-
tomed to. Most of the outdoor roses
were excellent, though it was September.
He bought at retail one dozen fine Laings
for a shilling and one dozen Jacques for
sixpence, an average of about one cent
and a half apiece. The plants offered in
this market were very fine and at low
prices. Everyone appeared to buy here
without regard to their being florists.
A number of wholesale cut flower houses
were clustered about this market. These
opened at 4 a. m., as early as the market
itself. One dealer said that his three
sons each had charge of a department,
one vegetables, one fruit, and one flow-
ers, and that his business aggregated be-
tween $4.11(10.011(1 and $5, ,000. There

seemed no reason to doubt the accuracy
of this statement. The London cut
flower stores exhibited no especial fea-
tures and were hardly equal to our own.
In Paris, on the contrary, the shops
were very beautiful and full of interest.

Flower Market.

The second annual meeting of the
market will be held next Monday, Octo-
ber 19, at 10 a. m., at 1228 Cherry street.
Besides the report of the business of the
last eleven months, four directors are to
be elected, three to serve for three years
and one for one year. There are also two
pm posed changes in the by-laws on which
the stockholders are to take action. Half

dent Harris will auction off the stalls.

Bowling.

The Review is indebted to Walter N.
Yates for the following interesting ac-
count of the doings of our bowlers:

Recently the boys went to Atlantic City
to try their hand with the seashore craft
at the ''only game," but the salt air had
a peculiar effect, and after an exciting
contest, they lost by eighty pins. A re-
turn match was immediately arranged
and revenge guaranteed, if they would
dare to "enter our back yard." On Oc-
tober 7, our boys emphatically kept their
word, when our five-man team buried the
salt air combination to the tune of 657
pins in three games. Surely this was
vengeance with interest. When the visi-
tors finally came back to terra firma, an-
other trip to the shore was at once ar-
ranged, and all parties interested guar-
anteed the match to be anything but a
tame affair. Messrs. Moss, Yates, Gib-
son, Mooney and Addleburger did the
" slaughtering."

The second contest between the Grow-
ers and Dealers proved even more excit-
ing than the first. The first game result-
ed in favor of the former, with a mar-
gin of thirty-eight. At the end of the
second game the Growers were again on
top. with twenty-three more. With a
''Milwaukee finish," the Dealers woke
up in the third game and won the match
with fiftv-five pins to spare. Yates made
high total of 573, while Moss, with 223,
captured high single game. The third
and deciding match will be played next
week. The following are the scores:

ST. LOUIS.

The Market.

Business for the past week was not
very encouraging to the cut flower deal-
ers, trade being weak and the supply
very much in excess of the demand. The
bright, sunny weather has brought about
an actual glut in roses and carnations.
Chrysanthemums, too, are becoming more
plentiful, but not enough good ones as
yet to go around. Stock of all kinds was
so plentiful that the trade became criti-
cal and would buy nothing but the best
of stock, refusing all that did not come
up to their requirements. In the mean-
time the price of good stock went down
to what short stemmed stock brought the
week previous.

In Brides and Maids the supply was

The Weekly Florists' Review*

835

greater than in any of the other roses,
but still there were plenty of Meteors,
Carnots and Perles. The very choicest of
stock did not bring over $5 per 100, while
good roses sold as low as $2 in 100 lots
and $10 in 1,000 lots. The short-stemmed
stock had no sale at all. In Beauties
fancy grades are not overplentiful, but
of medium and short stock there is more
than enough. Carnations have also de-
clined in price and really good stock sold
at $1.50 per 100. while plenty of good
flowers with short stems sold at $8 per
1,000. Marquis, Enchantress, Wolcott,
Xelson, Lawson and Crane are among the
best that come in. Violets are still very
much off color and small, with the market
well supplied and sales slow. Uwing to
the quality of the stock, 25 cents per
100 is all they bring at present. Cosmos
is also loading down the wholesale houses,
thousands of good quality coming in and
selling at 35 cents per 100. 'Mums of
first quality seem slow in coming in. A
few good white and yellow were seen at
$1.50 per dozen. Snail stuff does not
bring uv.-r 60 cents per dozen. A good.
killing frost is what is needed in this
section to kill off the supply of outdoor
stock which is being dumped in this
market in big quantities. The end of the
week found the market short on fancy
ferns, but other greens, such as smilax,
asparagus and galax are in good supply
at the usual prices.

Various Notes.

Mis. M. S. Vesey, of Fort Wayne, Ind.,
was a guest of the Misses Meiniiardt the
past week. She took a hand at bowling
on ladies' afternoon and did some excel-
lent work.

Wm. Edlefsen, of Milwaukee, accom-
panied by his niece, Mrs. H. V. Huukel,
also of Milwaukee, spent a pleasant week
with us. Mr. Edlefsen was much pleased
with his trip and spoke highly of the
progress of the World's Fair, which he
said was immense.

George E. Legler, representing S. P.
Forest & Co., Chicago, was in town sell-
ing pressed flowers from Palestiue.

F. M. Ellis returnd from his week's
trip much pleased with what he saw and
with the prospects for the coming sea-
son.

James W. Dunford and his father
visited Belleville the past week, calling
on friends in the trade.

F. Carr, better known as "Pap" Carr,
who sold plants for rears at the Union
Market for Wm. Schray & Sons, died
last week. The funeral was held Satur-
day and many of the trade attended.

The St. Louis Agricultural and Me-
chanical Association held a very success-
ful fair the past week. On big Thursday
the crowd was estimated at .".0,000 and
the attendance in Floral Hall was large
during the day, the visitors seeming to
enjoy the display made by the local
florists. Wm. Schray & So'ns were the
largest exhibitors and were awarded $248
in prizes for plants and cut flowers.
Kichard Frow came in for $30 worth and
F. Carr for $3. These men were the
only exhibitors this year, and Mr. Schray
seemed to have everything his own way
as to winning prizes.

The Florists' Bowling Club rolled a
three-man match on Monday night. Carl
Fever was in extra good form, making
an average of 226. Kuehn was second
with an average of 192, and Beneke third
with 183.

The Market.

There is a great deal of complaint at
the results of last week. The aggregate
of the seven days' business was consid-
erably below last year's record and the
averages returned to the growers were
very unsatisfactory. Along in the mid-
dle of the week there was a very large
waste on low grade stuff and this, of
course, pulled down the price on the
belter material and made the figuring of
average prices of roses and much other

-i'l mire a considerable skill in the

use of fractions. However, things
started off better this week, although
there is still little value in the low grade
material. City trade seems very quiet,
except for a few large orders foi store
openings, weddings, etc., but shipping
demand is brisk.

Beauties are the best seller on the list,
but white roses go fairly well ami tin-
store decorations have .leaned up a good
many small chrysanthemums. In general
qualities are showing a steady improve-
ment. This is particularly noticeable in
violets and chrysanthemums. Carnations
have been good" right along, but roses do
not seem to gain strength as rapidly as
might be expected with the very fine
weather. We have as yet had no frost
and there are good dahlias, plenty of
cosmos, some gladioli, a few asters and
other outdoor flowers in the market.

Various Notes.

The committee announces that the first
monthly exhibition of the Chicago Flor-
ists' Club will be held October 24, de-
voted to cut chrysanthemums and carna-
tions, prizes to be awarded for the best
collection of each. Those having seed-
ling chrysanthemums to be judged can
have the same passed upon at this show,
as the judges are the ones selected by the

exhibits will be entitled to registration
by paying the necessary fee. Blooms in-
tended for exhibition should be sent to
E. F. Winterson, 45-49 Wabash avenue,
Chicago, charges prepaid, not later than
1 o'clock, October 24. The club will see
to the staging of all exhibits.

The E. E. Gray mushroom plant near
Hinsdale was totally destroyed by tire
one night last week and the report is
that it will not be rebuilt.

Sharp, Partridge & Co.. say that it
looks favorable for fairly cheap glass for
next season. Prices are now off about 10
per cent as compared with quotations
on greenhouse sizes a year ago. this with
stocks well cleaned out, and with the big
factories only just starting for the sea-
son, certainly the indications would not
point to any advance. On small lots of
16x24 double strength A the present quo-
tation is $4.05 a box, but it is doubtful if
any considerable quantity of this size
could be obtained should need for it
arise today.

John Sterrett has the deepest sympa-
thy of every one in the market in the loss
of his son, Leonard, who was also well

known to the trade. The lad 's body was
found beside the tracks of the Is'orth-
u. -stern railroad on Friday morning, he
having evidently fallen from a moving
train.

Emil Buettner has recently completed
two new houses, one 30x125, the other
30x130, and has them planted to carna-
tions in fine shape.

Mr. and Mrs. Oscar Friedman are the
happy parents of a baby boy.

E. S. Thompson was over from South
Haven on Tuesday with exhibits of fifty-
f dahlias which he put
and P.u. Hong's. He has
his collection, including

seven va
up at Ba
over 100

this market. Mr. Thompson goes to St.
Louis this week to arrange for an ex-
hibit at the World 's Fair next year.

O. J. Friedman had the large order
for the decoration of the new Schlesinger
& Mayer store for the opening this week.

X. J. Wietor's ten-mouths-old boy is
quite seriously ill.

George Scott is now with the F. F.
Winterson Company. John Degnan, of
that firm, is on the road and sending in
nice orders from every town.

A. L. Randall is at home after spend-
ing the summer on lus farm in Michigan.

1'. M. Broadbeck, tit Evanston, has a
banana plant in one of his rose houses
now ripening a bunch of about 200
fruits. The variety is Musa Caven-
dishii.

PACIFIC COAST.

ROSE NOTES.
\l.out everyone who contemplated
changing his rose houses has finished re-
planting by this time. The majority of
the growers in the vicinity of San Fran-
cisco have used the same varieties this
season for forcing that they did last
year, that is, Kaiserin and Bride for

for pink, Liberty and American Beauty
for red and Souvenir du Pres. Carnot

for cream. There has l „ considerable

inquiry for stock of the Ivory but there
are not us yet any rose growers who
have had very much experience with it
and no one has had anything to force ex-
cepl small plants on their own roots.

Liberty has superseded Meteor almost
entirely, but a few growers still plant
Mrs. Laing and TJlrich Brunner. Brides-
maid is still in as great demand as ever
and perfect blooms bring top prices.
Belle Siebrecht and Duchess of Albany
are seen occasionally, but they are not
considered good forcers. Perle des Jar-
dins, by far the finest of our yellow
roses, either inside or in the garden, is
not in much favor with the growers.
Most of the florists seem to be able to
supply the wants of their patrons with-
out handling any yellow roses, and most
of the growers have discarded planting
them. Sunset is not in evidence at all,
although it is really a splendid variety
when properly handled. Niphetos has
not been planted for the last six or
seven years. It makes a beautiful bud,
but a weak and wobbly stem and has

1 n entirely superseded by Bride and

Kaiserin. S,nn- growers tried Queen of
Edgely last Beason, but the flower seems
to be hardly up to color and inclined to
come short stemmed. Cecil Brunner finds
considerable favor with some growers
and the flowers are always in demand.

There has always been more or less

controversj ai g the growers as to

the planting of stock, whether it should
be low buddi d or grow o on if s on n roots.
The majority of the growers are finding
out from experience that they havi ix

lei success fr strong, field-grown,

budded .t. ck. ( ;.

THE PACIFIC NURSERY.

A st interesting place is the Pacific

Nursery, San Francisco, of which F.
Ludemann is proprietor. All sorts of or-
namentals are grown and the s llinos

of different suits coming on run into
the hundreds of thousands.

The major part of these are from out
of door seed beds and the fiats in which
ings ore pricked out are also out
of doors, simply placed close together
on the ground. Such standard Hones
as the blue gum and Monterey cypres
are handled in immense quantities and
thej ore sold by the flat. The choice
ornamentals are potted and are grown
in these pots plunged in the soil to
facilitate planting out at any time of
the year.
Camellias, of which Mr. I udermann car-
" a largi stock in all sizes, and other
similar stock are in hill, I hat ai

ford some shade from thi un. \ new
lath house, erected this season, is abouf
eighty feet square, and , . . .,,, ... il;lj|

'fliers.

In the greenhouses an immense ari
pa ,,, seeds are being germinated

and there is a full line of the more ten-
der palms and decorative plants. The
seedling araucarias are especially numer-
ous, and a bench of young Araucaria
excelsa in 2^-ineh pots, all perfect in
form and of a uniform height, of about
six inches, is a sight to remember.

To even mention all of the interesting
things to be seen here would fill a page
of the Review. The trade visitor to San
Francisco should not fail to see the Pa-
cific Nursery and its genial and well
posted proprietor, Mr. Ludemann.

GLASS

Elgin, III. — Simon Dumser, who for-

that the competition of outdoor stuff

RADISHES.

The radish is one of the easiest sub-
jects to force, and one that gives the
quickest returns of any crop that can
be grown. Though they can be grown
in any ordinary soil and are very ac-
commodating for filling in where a space
occurs, we find that it pays to make a
little special preparation for them when
they are depended on for a crop. We
grow them in raised benches about six
inches deep. In the bottom of the bench
we place about three inches of well
rotted manure, and cover this over to a
depth of about three inches with clean
sand in place of soil,
they come out of the sa:
and nicer than they do
We sow in rows about four inches apart,
scattering the seeds thinly and evenly,
so as to avoid having to do any thinning.

In sowing thus thinly it 'is well to
make sure that the seed is good or to
know just what percentage of it is go-
ing to come up. A simple method of
testing the seeds is to count out fifty
or 100 of them and place them between
folds of thick brown paper in a shallow
vessel, such as a flower pot saucer, and
keep the paper moist but not too wet;
keep in a temperature of about 50 de-
crees, and in about twenty-four hours
it can be seen just how many of the

Of the many varieties we have tried
the one we like best is Xon Plus Ultra.
This has a very dwarf top, is a round,
evenly sized, uniformly well shaped rad-
ish of good quality and flavor; color red.
Where a long shaped radish is wanted
the old French Breakfast is about the
best, but it takes rather longer to ma-
ture than the first named. Xon Plus
Ultra will mature in about three weeks
from time of sowing.

Regarding temperature, we have had
the best success by running the house
at 50 degrees by night, allowing a rea-
sonable rise by sunheat. If the tem-
perature is kept much higher than this
it induces a rank top growth, and de-
tracts from the quality of the radish,
though nmking very little change in the
time of maturing. A large supply of

water is a scessary, as the materials

used are rather retentive, but water
should of course be given when the sand
show s signs of drj uess

The Market.

We are simply having grand weather,
no frost to injure the dahlias, cosmos
and gladioli, which are being cut in
abundance. Roses are very plentiful and
slow sale. Carnations are still a little
scarce and high priced. Chrysanthemums
are arriving in large quantities and meet
with slow sale. Beauties are a little off
crop. In greens, the demand is increas-
ing for asparagus and smilax.
Notes.

Messrs. McClements, Breitenstein, Ged
dis, Blind and Perry, who attended the
Harris-Craig palm sale at Philedalphia
last week, have returned.

Mr. Langhans, of the Pittsburg Cut
Flower Co., reports shipping business
very good.

The meeting of the Florists' Club last
Tuesday e\ening was the best one for
years. Dahlias, cannas and outdoor flow-
ers were discussed. Many out of town
growers contributed to make the meeting
a sucesss. Pres. Win. Falconer deserves
much credit for this enthusiastic meet-
ing. Ice cream and cake were served.

The new flower shop to be opened at
30 Fifth street will be managed by David
Geddis and Henry Blind. The location
is a good one.

tions on a fine baby girl. Mrs. Shoen

One of Luther Burbank 's latest pro-

It has a kernel, but the stone is reduced

right through the center. It is said to be
a heavy cropper and good grower. The

s*y and Treas.,

During the week 43,000 Dutch bulbs
have been received for planting at the
St. Louis exposition.

Currie Bros., Milwaukee, have been
appointed by Gov. Hoard to prepare
Wisconsin's exhibit of seeds, etc., for
the St. Louis World's Fair.

A petition in bankruptcy has been
filed against the Cape Vincent Seed Co.,
wholesale dealers in peas and beans
with office at 260 West Broadway, New
York City.

The Gallia, from Marseilles, due at
New York September 21, reached port
October 6, having been delayed by a
broken shaft. The Gallia carried a total
of 2,167 cases of French bulbs, includ-
ing the principal shipmsnt for many of
the leading seed houses, delivery being
thus delayed fifteen days.

The onion seed crop report of the J.
B. Bice Seed Co., Cambridge, N. Y.,
shows acreage of 12,663 as against 11,-
350 for 1902. The output is considera-
bly less than for 1902 in the states of
Michigan, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Massa-
chusetts, Connecticut and in New York,
but there is a large increase in Ohio,
Indiana and Illinois. Quality averages
seventy-three per cent of perfect. The
varieties average about forty per cent
red, fifty-seven per cent yellow and three
per cent white.

TIME TO "GET TOGETHER."

Ed. Florists' Review: — I desire to
offer a few suggestions and make a
little explanation as to the real situa-
tion of the melon and seed grower of
the south. I believe that through the
columns of the Review it would reach
the class that is looking for such in-
formation, and I respectfully ask for the
publication of these few lines in your
valuable journal for florists and seeds-
men.

I am aware that the conduct and care-
less methods of growing practiced by
some growers have caused some of the
largo eastern and northern dealers to go
west for their supplies; usually the care-
ful grower has to bear the burden equal-
ly with the careless one.

There is no question as to the superi-
ority of the southern grown melon seed,
and if the careful grower would sup-
plv only seed of his own growth and
plant sufficient area to produce, under
usual circumstances, the amount desired,
have contracts subject to inspection and
insist that the crop be inspected, he
would in time control the trade of most
of the reputable dealers.

I know there are some unscrupulous
dealers, and there are also unscrupulous
growers, but the careless method prac-
ticed by the latter class should not be
shifted to the responsibility of the hon-
est, careful grower. Some of the large
wholesalers are continually grinding
down the growers' prices and are willing
to pay only about the cost of producing
good seeds. Then the grower must either
reje.t the order or send out inferior

TROUBLE WITH BOSTONS.

In one of my houses of Boston ferns
I notice a lot of mealy bugs are doing
do mage. I found the bugs in the tips
of the leaves, and it seems as if they
had followed the leaf as it unrolls. How
shall I wage war on the pest? I also
find some stunted leaves in the same
house. It seems as though the plants
got a sudden cheek in growth or the
tips were burned. Did the mealy bug
cause this? L.

One of the best remedies for mealy
bugs on Boston ferns is fumigation with
aphis punk. If this preparation is used
carefully, so as to avoid any blazing of
the paper, no injury will be done to the
ferns, but it is probable that the fumi-
gation may need to be repeated two or
three evenings before the smoke reaches
all the insects. The crippling of the
tips of the fronds may have been caused
by the mealy bugs if the plants are
badly infested, but there are at least
two other possible causes for such an in-
jury. If the plants have been allowed
to get dry once or twice the young
growth would suffer in that way, or if
too much fresh manure was used in the
compost the ammonia therein might
scorch the tender tips of the ferns.

NEW BEDFORD, MASS.
Business has been almost at a stand-
Mill during the past week. Flowers of
all kinds excep! roses are very scarce.
Very few carnations have as yet started
to dower. Growers around here com-
plain of a scarcity of plants this year,
a number of them having to send out of
town for plants i nough to fill their
houses. The outlook for chrysanthe-
mums is very promising and the florists
should be able to get enough here with-

II. Woodhouse and E. E. Nofftz hav«
them planted by the thousands, and fine
looking stock, too.

A. H. Jahn is putting the finishing
touches on a new greenhouse.

The stores are fixing up for the win-
ter's business, E. H. Chamberlin hav-
ing put in a new tile window. William
Peirce is painting inside and outside, and
is also to put in a tile window. C.

CINCINNATI.

The Market.

Chrysanthemums are now beginning
to arrive in large numbers and in a few
days more there will be enough to fill
all orders. White, yellow and pink are

to I e had and - i of the blooms are

extra fine. So far the top price has
been $2 per dozen and from that down
to 75 cents. The demand has been very
good, but the day is past when the re-
tailor will give a fancy price for a
'mum just because it is early. At the
present time the money is to be made
from I he later blooming sorts.

In other lines trade is only medium.
Roses are coming in very heavily and
are slow sale Even the better quality
do not move readily and short-stemmed
ones are very near a glut. American
Beauties, Liberties and Meteors are the
exception. The former seem to be off
crop at present and there are not
enough to fill orders. Brides, Maids and
i;-ii,.s are showing a great deal of im-

good qua

the demand now than

is season. Some very
oms are to be had. A
jaraations are being
snipped into this city, which has helped
greatly to make up the shortage. Gov.
Wolcott is showing up in especially
good form and it looks as if this varie-
ty has come to make its mark. They
readily bring $3 per 100. which is high
mail ]■,„• ear-nations so far. This mar-
ket is fl led with cosmos and it is ex-
ceptionally fine. Violets are plentiful
and very good, with brisk sale.

Canton, Ohio. — Charles J. Lindacher
has not yet returned from Europe, but is
looked for at any time now business is
opening up. Charles Brown is making
haste to complete the range of 35,000
square feet of glass built this season.
He has a splendid location, a short dis-
tance from town, with opportunity to
quadruple the size of the plant If neces-
ary. The fine store built recently has
proved a most successful drawing card,

Cleveland, Ohio. — This city is be-
coming quite a distributing center for
cut flowers, a number of growers having
sprung up quite recently. Chief among;
these is the .1. M. Gasser Co.'b fino plant
at Eocky River, under the management
of Mr. Bartels, a must able grower-
Roses are a specialty. The P. R. Wil-
liams Co. also h;ts a huge place. At
West Park is the new range of Isaac
Kennedy, fast getting into shape for
the coming season. What struck me is
the absence of Beauties, for which friend
Isaac was famed in the Quaker City. I
understand he is figuring on special
houses for this variety. The plant of
the Essex greenhouses is located a few-
miles out of the city, where the atmos-
phere is clearer and soil easier of ac-
cess. M. Bloy. who has had charge of
this place since spring, showed me a
record of figures which makes interest-
ing reading. From March 1 last, from
six houses, each 20x100 feet. 111,000-
roses were cut and disposed of through
one of the commission houses here*
Three houses of Beauty grown for sue-
eosshr crops, Queen of Ivlgely growing;
in one bench with same treatment, two
houses each of Meteor, Brides and Maids
and ten houses of carnations is the ex-
tent of this nourishing establishment.
Enchantress, Bradt, Lillian Pond, Crane,
Apollo, Mrs. Potter Palmer are the-
chief varieties grown, including the up-
to-the-present matchless Lawson, loaded
with bud and bloom. The divine flower
lias made excellent growth in this section
during the summer, which was a rather
dry one. The prospect, for good crops
was never better. Herman A. Hart,
Graham & Son and G. W. Smith have-
every available foot of space occupied
with salable stock. At Glenville August
Schmitt has cut Monrovia, his earliest
yellow chrysanthemum, a fine crop that
finds prompt sale in the market. His
whole stock shows high cultivation.
James Eadie reports a big demand in
connection with the visit of the Knights
Templars. Smith & Fetters have also
some large orders on hand. Altogether
the season promises well. The Grant-
Wilson Co. makes a fine display in its
large handsome show room. The weekly
Monday evening meetings bring together
a huge number of the craft, when for an
hour or two a social time takes the placo
of business. It interested the writer,
listening to the remarks between deals,
to hear Herman Hart describing to>
Adam Graham his experience among the
Highlands of Scotland, Kennedy buz-
zing Bloy how he managed to keep-
iliran mildew this fall, Gordon Gray with
Fred Aid discussing the appearance of
disease in the supposedly perfectly
healthy Harrisii. Charlie Schmitt de-
cided to go to Bermuda, on a tour of
inspection for his wedding trip. The
meeting broke up after arranging to pay
a visit to Robert George, tit Paines-
ville. where the stock of The Storrs &
Harrison Company is in prime shape and

the better quality brings about 20 to
25 cents per dozen, and they are almost
as large as those brought from under
glass. Thej are shorter of stem, of
and the flowers do not have as

fine a texture. In the neighlinrli I nt

San Rafael the climate ins tn suit the

chrysanthemum very well and the yel-
lows, especially Bonnaffon, rannot ' be
beaten anywhere. Carnations are sorne-
wliat scarce, as most of the growers are
throwing out the old stock and the young
plants will not be in bloom for several
works yet. Prices remain about the
- last week. Eoses are not plenti-
ful either, although the quality is some-
what improved. Kaiserins and Testouts
bring from 50 nuts to 75 cents whole-
sale; Brides and Maids about the same
price; American Beauties from .$1 to $2
per dozen and fancy stock very scarce.
Smilax is offered at any price and the
summer crop of maidenhair is getting
well sold out. Cosmos is now in its
prime, and is used in large quantity for
decorating. Violets are scarce and of
poor quality; they bring from 75 nuts
to $1 per dozen bunches. Japanese lilies
are almost out of business, and in a week
or two will have entirely disappeared.

Notes.

H. Ratfisch. of Berkeley, has been very
busy for the last two weeks, replanting
his carnation houses. He had splendid

- ss last season and will force for the

coming year principally Estelle, Cress-
brook and Queen Louise.

A visit to the nurseries of Ferrari
Brothers shows everything in readiness
for another season's hard work. This
firm has an enviable record for forcing
high-class roses and their reports are
that they have been unable to fill half
the orders offered them.

F. Ludemann. of the Pacific Nurseries,
reports splendid business in Japanese lily
bulbs and palm seeds. Although it is
somewhat early regarding nursoM
Mr. Ludemann has splendid prospects for
a good season's business.

CLEVELAND.

The pleasant weather for the past
week has brought lots of good roses and
carnations into market, and whole
loads of dahlias. We haven't had our
usual early frosts, and every oDe has
lots of flowers still blooming outdoors,
which holds back the demand, which is
bound to come after the first frosts.
Prices are still unchanged, and the de-
mand was for good stork the past week
on account of the Knights Templar con-
clave, most of the downtown stores hav-
ing decorations for the eommandery
headquarters. Chrysanthemums are more
plentiful, and are quoted at $10 to $15
per 100.

Some late asters and early mignonette
were seen at the F. R. Williams Co. 's
store Saturday.

DREER'S

Peerless Glazing Point

(Improved Van Reyper Perfect) ^^
has common sense features of practical value that appeal to prac-
tical florists and are possessed by no other point. The only double point with

BOTH BEVELS ON SAME SSDE.

A point made on any other principle will twist in driving and cramp or
crack the glass. Dreer's Peerless Glazing Points will never work out. Drives
true and holds firmly by one blow of hammer or chisel. May be easily re-
moved and used again in case of re-glazing, iooc sufficient for 500 lights.
Box of 1000 points 75c, postpaid. 5000 points by express for £2.75.

MISCELLANEOUS
SEASONABLE HINTS.

Stock to Keep Benches Full.

We are usually very glad of the bench
room that the throwing out of early
'mums affords, and there is always
plenty to fill up with. Five to 7-inch
Bermuda lilies that have been in the
cold frames, and if you have no warm
house the 7 to 9-inch plants may as well
come in; they will not make much more
progress in a cool house for the next
month than they would in a frame with
the glass on.

Japan Lilies.
Those who grow the Japan longiflorum
most successfully, by that I mean those
who get them in in good time for Easter
and get a good height on them, do not
bring them into heat till they are well
rooted in the frames, and then when
they get them in they give them a
strong heat. I have seen Japan longi-
florum brought in as late as the middle
of December, and, with little or no
growth, and they overtook and passed
in height and earliness a batch that had
been brought in the first of November.
Last spring many will remember that
there were fine lots of lilies that flowered
perfectly, both the black-stemmed " gi-
ganteum" and a bulb called "multi-
florum" that gave me seven or eight
flowers, but they had but ten to fifteen-
inch stems. By putting them in pans
and azalea pots they all went, but to
have them as dwarf as that is not de-
sirable. In my own case I think it was
bringing them into a house at the end
of October and keeping them about 50
degrees at night, when they were but
poorly rooted. They were in plenty of
time for Easter; in fact, you might say
that with their dwarfness they flowered
prematurely. Now I don't want to pre-
tend to be an unquestioned authority on
this subject, but 1 do think that the
best way to treat the Japan longiflorum
is to keep them in the cold frame pro-
tected from hard freezing, till the mid-
dle of December, and then, after two
weeks in a cool house, after being
brought in, give them a brisk heat of
60 to 65 degree at night.

Begonia Gloire de Lorraine.
The Lorraine begonia is likely to be
as great a favorite again this winter
as for the past four or rive years. Not
only as a single plant is it desirable,
but for basket and mantel decorations it
is most valuable. Those who have then:
now in a healthy state need fear no
mishap; and froin now till Christmas
they do a lot of growing. Any small
plants that need shifting should be at-
tended to at once. There is no more
shading necessary. Keep them about 55
degrees at night,' and when watering do
not wet the leaves. Plants in 5 and 6-
inch pots might with benefit be raised
up on inverted (3-inch pots. They ran

Poinsettias.

I have often said that you must not

disturb the mots of poinsettias after
the middle of October au.l that I know
from experience, so I hope you have
all the plants in 6-inch pots fixed some
weeks ago. fans of th se are now wlial

in 2%-ineh pots they can still be put
in pans because you need not disturb
the roots and the plants are so small
they will not suffer as a plant two feet
'nigh would. It should not be neeessarv
to say that the poinsettia wants at all
times a high temperature, but 60 de-
grees at night keeps them in excellent
leaf and develops their bracts. The
yellow leaf is more often caused by
starved roots than cold, and if you have
any in 5 or 6-inch pots and 'later on
they begin to show the slightest sign
of the foliage going, give them liquid
manure twice a week.

Cyclamen.

plants is now about a pronounced suc-
cess or a failure. If the cyclamen foli-

away from a market for pot plants, such
is lilies, azaleas, Easter roses, etc., or
bedding plants, then the beautiful 'mums
leave you with a lot of vacant bench
room, more than you need for young
stock of carnations and roses, and there
is sometimes an unprofitable interval of
a few months The antirrhinum is a
plant that will fill up till you need the
bench, in April and May.

Sweet Peas.

I was quite an old man before J
learned how to grow sweet peas, to have
them in flower at the holidays and dur
ing the succeeding dark winter months.
We used to sow them at the posts in a
carnation house in October, or plant
them there from 2 or 3-inch pots. They
would send up a growth which was paid
little attention and we always waited
for the lateral growth which started at
the base of the one or two plants. That
lateral growth came along slowly and
it was April before any flowers were

up, you need have no failure after this.
After good, bad and indifferent success
with these plants, we have about 1,000
in 5, 6 and 7-inch pots that some good
friends have pronounced about perfect.
I still believe in plunging them in a
few inches of tobacco stems and spray-
ing them on bright mornings and giving
them plenty of room on the bench; no
more shade is required. Just now 50
degrees at night will do nicely for them
and after December 1, when the bulk of
the flowers are showins; above the foli-
age. 55 degrees should be given them.

cut. The original growth from the seed
had long ago perished. Now I would
not go at length into this "has been"
story, only I know others have not
flowered sweet peas in any better way.
If you have plants now in 3-inch pots,
two plants is enough in a pot; plant
them now in four or five inches of soil
on a bench. Let the two plants be eight
or nine inches from another two, and
the rows of plants one foot apart; train
them up just as you would smilax. Per-
haps a string for every vine would be
ideal, but the two vines on a string

STOKESIA CYANEA.

Stokesia cyanea is a plant that has
rapidly eonie' to the front the last two
or three years, and deserved!} so, says

Herbert Greensmith, of D r's EUverton

nurseries. Although an American plant
introduced or discovered in 1706, it .loos
not appear to have been generally culti-
vated. In this plant the mosl wonderfu

the size of flower. Nicholson's D I
of Gardening describes it as being one
inch across, few or solitary: some Eng-
lish catalogues say two or three indies
and must be lifted in the fall anc
placed in the greenhouse to see it bloom.
Horsford describes it <"• "a plant of
the aster family, with blue flowers an
inch or so wide';'' and A- Ponx "•''>*•
"A sweetly pretty autumn-flowering
perennial of great merit; habit erect,
two feet, large lavender blue flowers with
a reddish center, fully two inches
across. ' '

A great deal of surprise and rejoicing
has been occasioned the last two or three
years, Mr. Greensmith told the Florists'

Club of Philadelphia, over what is de-
scribed as an early flowering form which
some want to name Praecox in or. lor to

indicate that it is an early flowering
variety. "I have noticed, I believe,

oiler plants again, though full of buds
and in good robust condition, did not

grown on high, sandy ground and were
the admiration of all who saw them
from July to hard frost in November.
A warm, sandy soil is recommended as
bein.r best adapted to their culture, but
two sears ago 1 raised 3,000 or 4,000
plants from seed, which were picked off
into trays as soon as large enough to
handle, one inch apart, and from these
trays they were planted out into the open
ground iii a very moist, damp spot. By
the latter part of July they commenced
to flower and so continued until hard
Hosts in November cut them off. Never
did we have stokesia flower so freely,
but I admit it would have been ruinous
to have left them on this ground for
the winter. The same year good strong
plants from 3-inch pots were planted in
light but well enriched sandy soil, and
they were pale and poor in comparison
to "the seedlings planted on the damp
spot. Its native home appears to be
in wet Dine bogs. The flowers are a

beautiful light lavender blue and three
to four inches across, sometimes showing
a faint tinge of red. If proper precau-
tions are taken to insure it from stand-
ing under water during the winter
months, it is one of the most satisfactory
perennials grown. It is propagated by
both s.ed and division."

Some of the Good New Early Chrysanthemums.

NEW EARLY CHRYSANTHEMUMS.

If there were a mid-October exhibi-
tion this year twelve fine new varieties,
at least, could be entered from abroad.
A few of the sorts described below will
not be of use to the commercial grower
on account of color only, but where
variety is wanted, these sorts would
make a fine collection, while the white,
yellow and pink sorts will prove valua-
ble additions to our October 15 varie-
ties; in fact they are startling novelties
when the date is remembered, as they
are up with the very finest of November
sorts. France has given us the first
seven.

Etienne Bonnefond is a big buff, in-
curved with broad petals, eight and
oue-half inches across; very fine.

Baron Chiseuil is one of the red and
chamois-colored fellows used for "any
other color" at the shows; very large
and showy, especially at this date.

form, a beauty, and a big one.

opens with golden center tinted pink,
which rounds out into a ball of snow

ver, a nice color and pleasing variety
in form.

Salome is a golden yellow with a fine

M lie. Touzet is one in which we think
we have an October Chadwick.

All the above are free growers, with-
out "necks," and handsomely foliaged.

In the English section, Carrie has

yellow; a beauty. And now we have
Miss Olive Miller, a lavender pink,
probably the best of its color and date
vet introduced; a nice, large, showy
flower.

Mrs. A. MeKinley is a buff and
bronzy red, finely rounded in form and
lighting up beautifully at night.

Goacher's Crimson is a red and gold
that does not burn; a formal, dahlia-
like flower that is very popular in Eng-
land this season.

Ethel Fitzroy is an improved and ear-
lv Kate Broomhead, a gorgeous and
beautiful variety, very brilliant in col-
oring, which is 'bound to become popu-
lar.

The later set are expanding their
buds in fine style and each day shows
up something new and wonderfully fine.
Mrs. Longley is opening up a breadth
of light, maroon velvet petal that is
marvelous. S. T. Wright, Lord Hope-
town and Lord Alverston are running
a race in scarlet and gold, and some of
the new yellows look like the rising sun.
Anything more delightful than the new
mums cannot be found today in the
whole world of horticulture.

ROSES.

Grafted Versus Own-Root.

During the past season several in
quiries have reached me regarding the
advantages to be derived from using
grafted stock, and which was the most
suitable stock to use for indoor culture.
As the time is approaching when the
stocks for grafting musl be put through
their preparatory course, a few remarks
along these lines may prove seasonable.

The principal object attained by this
method of propagation is to obtain a bet-
ter root action for those varieties which
are naturally weak cm their own roots,
or which show a tendency to become
sluggish, or which prefer taking a rest
at the season when their services are
most in need.

In the Manetti, a rose of Italian ori-
gin, are combined the qualities of vigor
and robustness, with tine, fibrous roots,
which continue in activity during tin
entire season, a most essentia] requisite
for the ever blooming varieties. An-
other very material qualification pos-
sessed by this stock is its immunity
from the ravages of eel-worms. From
inquiries I have made during the past
few years I have not heard of one au-
thentic case of eel-worms infesting
plants on this stock. Where this pest is
prevalent in the soil it would certainly
appear from up-to-date evidence to be
the safest course to graft all suitable
varieties, such us Bride, Maid, Liberty
and Beauty on this -luck.

I have for years grown grafted stock

these varieties on their own mots, in
both light and heavy soils, and kept a
faithful record of the doings of each
from October I till May 30. These rec-
ords show that grafted Btocls on poor
soil was more productive and the blooms
of better quality than were those on
their own routs in the same class of
soil, though in both respects they fell
behind those same varieties on their
own roots which were planted in the
richer soil.

The grafted stock planted in strong,
fibrous loam certainly made astonishing
growth, being nearly twice the size of
those on their own roots. The first cut
was of about the same quantity, but the
quality of the bud was inferior; during
the winter months the quality im-
proved, particularly in length and wiri-

ness of steam, but frequently, much
more frequently than with those on
their own roots, the buds were off color.

In summing up, at the end of each
season, we came to the conclusion that
taking the extra trouble and expense
involved by this mode of propagation
into consideration, and the difference in
quantity and quality being so imper-
ceptible, especially when grown in
heavy soil, there was little profit in it
and I have practically given up using
grafted stock for our own planting.

Different conditions of soil, climate
and water have a great effect in modi-
fying our ideas, however well fixed we
may deem them to lie, and I confess
that experience along this one line has
radically altered mine. Ribes.

It is hard to get well rotted cow manure.
though if it is thought best will try to
procure it. .1. S.

The most successful method of protect-
ing outdoor roses during the winter is
to cover each bush with straw in the
form of a sheaf, so that it will shed
the water. This should be two and one-

half inches thick around the branches
and tied loosely, allowing the lower ends
of the straw to spread eight inches over
the ground around the neck of each
plant. Then .-over the ground to the depth
of three or four inches with half-rotted
stable manure. Cow manure is too cold
and solid for this purpose. This straw-
ing and mulching should be deferred till
after the ground is frozen hard, so there
will be less danger of heating, which
would be apt to restart root action, caus-
ing the sap to flow, making the wood too
soft to endure the winter changes.

DAHLIAS FOR EASTER.

In sending an exhibit of dahlias to
the October meeting of the Pittsburg
Hardeners' and Florists' Club, L. K.
Peacock forwarded a letter which was
read when the blooms were under exami-
nation. It was, in part, as follows:

We do not try to grow those immense
cabbage-head varieties and we do not try
to grow large flowers primarily. First,
we want bright colors; secondly, good
form; then they must have lasting qual-
ities, so as to keep well after being
cut; and last, but not least, they must
have long, yet strong stems. Every
flower should be supported on its own

Yellow Cactus Dahlia John H. Roach.

stem, and should make a fine appearance
in that form. A flower that will not
hold up its head on its own stem is, from
my standpoint, not suitable or worthy
of general cultivation.

Now thai the dahlia seems destined to
fulfill the prophecy we mado seven years
ago at the first dahlia exhibition in St.
George's hall, Philadelphia, namely, that
the dahlia would be the paramount flower
dining September and October, we be-
lieve that every florist should take ad-
vantage of the great demand and handle
dahlias, and that every grower should
grow only the best and exhibit them in an
easy, graceful, natural form.

I remember very well when we first
brought out Dahlia Nympha?a. It was
surprising the difficulty we had in getting
the florists to take hold of it, but as soon
as the people once saw the rlower its
success was assured. But while the pub-
lie was getting interested in dahlias they
did not stop with dahlias during fall
but demanded them during the winter,
and for several years past we have
grown dahlias under glass for a few par-
ticular customers, until now the demand
for dahlias at Easter has become so large
-that we are advocating every florist to
plant dahlias as a crop to follow chrysan-
themums.

It all depends on the variety and the
date of Easter when they should be
planted. With those conditions in view
I should say that they should be planted
any whore from December 15 to January
20. Varieties like Storm King can be
planted from January 5 to 20 and give
an Easter crop that is early or late. A.
D. Livoni. pink, should be planted about
ten days earlier, while Twentieth Cen-
tury should be planted about two weeks
earlier.

We have been growing dahlias under
glass more or less for the past thirteen
rears, and we have never failed to pro-
duce much finer flowers during the spring
of the year under glass than it was
possible to raise out of doors in the
open ground. When we grew our first
dahlias under glass we had only the
older varieties. Among them were Pene-
lope and Crimson Ball. These flowered
in 6-inch pots were superb. I never in
my life saw roses in pots in the spring
so' beautiful. The flowers were half again
as large as those grown outdoors. Color-
ing was much brighter in every respect
in the case of Crimson Ball, while in
Penelope the lavender shade was much
softer.

Last winter William Falconer had very
little faith in dahlias under glass; in
fact, he so expressed himself to one of
our representatives; but, however, he de-
termined to give them a trial, and I will
herewith ask Mr. Falconer to give you
the rest.

"Being continually on the lookout for
novelties for our Easter exhibitions at
Phipps Conservatories," said Mr. Fal-
coner, "I got on to the dahlias, but I
had very little faith in them. We got
a considerable number of Storm King,
white, and A. D. Livoni. pink, potted
them in ordinary rose soil and started
them in 55 to 60 degrees temperature,
afterwards humoring them as their
strength and stockiness would indicate.
By Easter both varieties were in beau-
tiful bloom; in fact, they were striking-
ly attractive, more especially the pink
one. We had the plants in good bloom
for about a month. We were short on

people never before saw dahlias in pro-
fusion of bloom at Easter. They wen'

OLD TIMES AT HARTFORD.

The following is a portion of an ad-
dress by 1.'. S. Mason, of r'nrmington,
Conn., at a recent meeting of the Hart-
ford Florists' Club.

My coming to Hartford dates back to
about the' year 1850. At that time there
were only two commercial greenhouses
in Hartford. One, the City Gardens, so
called, was situated on the Wethersfield
lane, now avenue, about where Mrs. Colt 's
house now stands. The establishment
consisted of one greenhouse about 18x60
and was run by Ransom Whitmore and
William Poogue in company. The other
was situated on Asylum avenue and was
run by George Aflick. Mr. Whitmore
and Mr. Aflick have long since gone to
their long rest. Mr. Doogue, after leav-
ing the City Gardens hired out as gar-
dener to some one in Middletown, from
there he went to Boston to take care of
the Common and other public grounds
and I believe he is still doing good work
as superintendent of a part of the city's
property. At that time there were only
two private places that had a green-
house, and they were both situate. I on
Farmington avenue. One owned by
George Beach, the other by Henry Beach.
At George Beach 's the gardener was
James Boyce. Henry Beach's place fell
into the hands of F. B. Cooley and I
think the present superintendent of Cedar
Hill Cemetery, Robert Scrivener, grad-
uated from the Cooley place.

The variety of stock grown for bed-
ding out, planting out, I should rather
say, for massing any one variety of

Verbenas, petunias, Phlox Drummondi,
ten-week stocks, some bulbs, mostly hya-

lead. The varieties of roses grown for

almost count them on your fingers. For
hardy roses there were Queen of the Prai-

Hartford and his extensive purchase of
property gave a strong impetus to all
matters pertaining to horticulture. Par-
ticularly were we interested in building,
heating and stocking greenhouses. Among
other houses he built one for stove plants,
others for greenhouse and temperate
plants, one for forcing pineapples, an-
other for strawberries, and so on. Among
other things, he enclosed a space with
glass with a high board fence, in which
were planted peach, cherry, plum, apri-
cot and other fruit, after the manner
of Rivers, the great English orchardist.
I have seen some splendid fruit in this
enclosure. The strawberries grown in
the house were well worth going a dis-
tance to see. And as to the pineapples,
a seven pound Queen was no unusual
thing. One thing that interested me
more than anything else in the Colt
establishment was a very beautiful Bank-
sia rose. It was grown in a cold house
carried up the rafters and was pruned
back much as you would a Black Ham-
burgh grape vine. To see that in full
bloom in the spring n;i> something to
be remembered. The strange part of it
to me »ns that it should flower so freely
with such severe pruning. The spurs

and even the old \\ 1 was covered with

its beautiful clusters of clear white flow-
ers. 1 think the constant pruning given
it to keep it within bounds musl bave
caused it to change its nature and adapt
itself to existing conditions, so to speak.
and so flower anvwav. as we all know

that climbing roses rebel against severe
pruning.

The first gardener at Colt's was
brought from England and he brought
English ideas, methods and material. The
heating apparatus was brought from
Engl I and consisted of a Weeks' up-
right tubular boiler for hot water, which
heated the whole range of houses, and
kept in good working order for several
years. He had a pit in which to plunge
'the tropical plants, using spent tanbark
as a material for plunging the pots in.
Of course he had to have peat and silver
sand for his azaleas, heaths and other
peat-loving subjects. Gardener No. 1
was succeeded by James Stebbins, and
he by Thos. Maltman.

About the time the Colt greenhouses
were built, or rather a few years later,
the Nil es Brothers built places on Farm-
ington avenue. John Niles built quite
an extensive range of houses in connec-
tion with his place, and later Pliney Jew-
ell had unite a nice house in connection
with his place. They were both run
pretty much after the same fashion, a
few nit flowers for the house and ma-
terial for planting out. At the John
Niles place the most notable thing was
a white camellia planted in the ground
in one of the houses used as an entrance.

The camellia was a sight worth see-
ing, being covered with thousands of
beautiful white blooms. Joe Moises was
gardener at the Xiles place and Georgu

PLEA FOR FORCED DAFFODILS.

While admitting the beauty of forced
hyacinths and polyanthus narcissus, I am
convinced that the money lavished on
these would be better spent on some of
the standard varieties of those general
favorites, the daffodils, says a writer in
an English contemporary. They are quite
as easy to grow, are considerably cheaper,
at least, than named hyacinths, are far
superior for cutting, and even for dec-
oration more than hold their own. Of
course, it may be argued that the range
of color is rather limited. This, of
course, is so, but the many beautiful and
varied shades of yellow are admired by
all, while glaring colors are favored only
by the few.

As a rule, daffodils will not stand hard
forcing. It is therefore advisable to
pot up early, so that they may be brought
along quietly, and yet be in their full
beauty long before those in the beds and
borders outside. "Where large quantities
are wanted for cutting, much space can
be saved by planting the bulbs in boxes.
Boxes about five inches deep are excel-
lent for the purpose. Unless the potting
loam is very poor no manure should be
used, for the majority of the daffouiis
resent manure, especially in a fresh state.
If it is absolutely necessary to enrich the
soil, old mushroom-bed dung is the safest.
If good turf is at hand, pull it to pieces
with the hands, add about one-third its
bulk of good leaf-mold, and enough
sharp sand to keep porous. The only
other ingredient needful is fine ground
bone of good quality. The daffodil seems
to greatly appreciate this latter, and it
may be used quite freely if it is known
to be pure. Do not pot in wet, sticky
soil; rather wait till it dries a bit. Five,
six, or seven-inch pots may be used.
Drain carefully, and do not make the
soil too firm, especially below the bulbs.
The pots must be plunged outside for
eight or nine weeks at least, then taken
to a cold frame for a time, and then
gradually admitted to the greenhouse.
At first a temperature below 50 degrees is
best for them, but after the flower-stems
show, if wanted for any special purpose
at any certain date, more heat may be
given.

After the pots are well filled with
roots weak manure water may with ad-
vantage be given them. Also, it will be
found that Iehthemie guano, a dessert-
spoonful to the gallon of water, applied
occasionally, is a great help.

A word about suitable varieties, and
I have done. The bieolors are always
greatly admired, and probably Victoria
forces as well or better than any other.
Horsfieldi, Empress and Grandis. too, are
indispensable. In the self class nothing
could beat Emperor for pot culture.
Henry Irving, Golden Spur and Maximus
are also in the first class for our purpose.
In other sections we have Sir Watkin,
Stella superba, Barrii conspicuus, and
Nelsoni major.

I mention none of the very new varie-
ties, as it would be rather risky to try
to force them. All I name are sure
doers, are fairly cheap, and all very
beautiful.

SOME SIMPLE SNAKE STORIES.

Tommy strolled around the end of the
potting shed, dragging a long blacksnakc.
distinctly dead, which he heaved over the
fence into a vacant lot. Jaggs, who was
re-enforcing his suspenders with a twist
of copper wire, looked up interrogatively.

"It was that fool cat," explained
Tommy. "He's that proud o' catching
snakes that he always takes 'em into the
house to give the missus a treat. Seems
like he mislaid that last one, and went
off to look up his dinner somewheres else.
The ladies wasn't pleased; I think one
of 'em found the snake sittin' on the
sewing machine. ' '

"Beats all how scared women is of
snakes," remarked Jaggs, cutting off an-
other piece of wire. "Not as I'm par-
tial to 'em myself, especially them nasty
tree snakes. I pretty near run right over
one once when I was shinning up a treo
to get away from an ostrich. I 've had
a few narrow squeaks in my time, but
that was about the nearest. ' '

"I suppose you was spendin
afternoon down at the zoo,'
the man from Duluth.

' ' 'Tain 't likely as you ever 'eard o '
South Africa," continued Jaggs, with
deep sarcasm. "If you 'ad gone down
there to free them poor sufferin ' Boers
like you used to talk, you might have
learned somethink about tree snakes, and
ostriches, too, as you don 't know now. ' '

"Never mind him, old man," advised
Tommy; "the only ostrich he ever see
in his life was the sword swallower in a
dime museum."

There was a temporary lull in the con-
versation when Pharaoh, the cat, was
seen to climb the fence, triumphantly
bringing with him the defunct snake.
He dragged his prey past Tommy with
ostentatious defiance, and disappeared in
the direction of the house, stopping occa-
sionally to get a fresh grip on the slip-
pery snake.

' ' I never thought, when I left South
Africa, as a bloomin ' old cuttlefish would
save my life," continued Jaggs, shaking
his head thoughtfully. "It shows as a

cuttlefish 'as some intellect eve
ain 't 'andsome. ' '

"Think so?" queried Tommy, who was
tenderly polishing his venerable meer-
schaum with a ragged silk handkerchief.

"O' course," began Jaggs, "I 'adn't
ought to ha' went to Sarawak. It was
that time as I went eollectin ' for the
Indian Tfajah — him as was death on
pitcher plants. I reckon I told you about
his pet elephant as got an elegant cas*
o' the jim-jams from drinkin' that there
fly-poison in the nepenthes. Talk about
temperance literature! A sight o' that
there bloomin ' old elephant makin ' a
disgraceful spectacle of himself was
enough to sober a Bowery panhandler.
And all along o' them innocent lookin '
pitcher plants, as never ought to be let
into a prohibition state.

"■What's that you say, Jimmy? You
never heard of pitcher plants as was in-
toxicatin ' 1 If you'll just stop and think
how many things you haven't heard vet.
Jimmy, you won 't say nothink about
pitcher plants. I s'pose you know them
there inside kills bluebottle flies — ain't
it reasonable that a nepenthes as the
Rajah had to feed on chickens would in-
toxicate an elephant?

"There's one thing about Polynesia as
I'd jolly well like in Jersey," continued
Jaggs, who was mending his lingerie by
the simple expedient of puckering the
holes up into little knots, and then twist-
ing a bit of wire around to hold the
ragged edges together. "It's the only
place I ever see where shirts grow on
trees. All a chap has to do is hunt up
a tree about his size, take out a buddin '
knife and there you are."

"I suppose, when it's in full bloom,
you wouldn 't know one o ' them trees
from a Troy laundry, ' ' remarked Tommy
frivolously.

"There you go, tryin' to mislead them
as hasn't 'ad our advantages again,"
said Jaggs reproachfully. "There's too
mauy chaps as comes back from their
travels and tells a lot o' fairy tales —
them bloomin ' botanists is always doin '
it. There was one of 'em as up and
told me there wasn't no man-eatin' tree

in New Guinea — a fat lot he knn\ about
it. As for them Polynesian shirts, thi |
was made o' bark, soft as a kid glove —
you just slips off a section o' the right
"size, like a boy shucking a willow twig to
make a whistle, lace it up with a bit o'
railia, and you 've got a full dress cos-
loom. There was one chap I know in
the Solomon Islands — a beachcomber
from Massachusetts with one eye, named
Hopkins, as wouldn't wear one o' them
shirts till he'd sewed sleeves in it, but
the chief that bossed those diggin's had
Hopkins slugged one night — said he
wasn't goin' to have no one corruptin'
his people with the vices o ' civilization. ' '

" I thought what you was startin' out
to till us was about the grateful cuttle-
fish as saved your life," observed the
fireman, with an uninterested yawn.

Jaggs whistled softly for a few min-
utes, until the parrot was discovered in
the act of dropping bits of broken flower
pots upon him, from the rafters above,
apparently with the idea of preventing an
encore.

"Not as you're any judge o' music,
you bilious old pirate," remarked Jaggs,
glaring at the parrot, while he tried to
remove a bit of flower pot that had
slipped inside his collar. "I believe as
even a cuttlefish would be gratefuller
than a parrot, though that one wasn't.
It ain 't nothink much to talk about, any-
way. You know there's heaps o' water
snakes in the East Indies; the gaudiest
mess o' snakes you ever see — purple, red
and yellow, with tufts on their heads like
cockatoos. Talk about bein' poisonous —
why, a rattlesnake is just Mrs. Winslow 's
soothin' syrup compared with 'em.
'Tain't just in the rivers as you find
'em ; they 're sea-goin ' reptiles, and there
ain't no fun in runnin' into a school o'
them venomous beasts, when you're out
on a quiet fishin' trip. Well, I was out
with a bunch o ' Malays, as was gettin '
sea cucumbers— what they calls trepang,
as they dries for them messy Chinamen.
It was a hot day, and I may have been
dosin ' a bit, when one o ' the Malays give
a yell, and there we was runnin' right
into an acre o' them circus-poster ser-
pents. At the same moment, the boat
(it was one o' them outrigger catama-
rans) begins to rock tremendous, and I
see more snakes, as I think, eomin'
aboard. I see right away, though, as
they wasn't snakes — we'd stirred up a
bloomin' big cuttlefish, with arms all of
20 feet long, and there we was, with that
there J. P. Morgan octopus on one side,
and a big mess o' poisonous snakes on
the other, and nothink to fight with but
the paddles!

"I reckon, as I wasn't takin' no
chances with poisonous snakes, anyway,
and 1 made a clip at one pea-green ser-
pent as was makin' straight for me. 1
wasn't quite quick enough, and I feel
its fangs go into my arm, just as the
cuttlefish gets one o' them slimy arms
twisted right around me. Say, maybe
you think I wasn't in a tight place! Sea
just a-boilin ' with poisonous serpents on
one hand, cuttlefish the size of a haystack
on t'other, doin' his little best to snake
me out into the briny, the old catamaran
doin' a regular loop-the-loop, and me
knowin ' as inside o ' ten minutes I 'd be
deader 'n Pharaoh and covered with
bright purple spots from that there snake
bite! It was a bit different from that
time as I rode seven miles through the
Himalayas on the back of a snow leop-
:ird, that confidin' beast thinkin' as he
was goin' to have me for tea, but it

wasn't no pie, I can tell you. Seems
i r I was a bit dazed — sort o ' dotty for
a few minutes — then I comes to myself,
lyin' in the bottom o' the boat. The
Malays was throwin' dead snakes over-
board— more'n a bushel of 'em, and
there was the devilfish, rockin' on top o'
the waves, swollen the size o' two hay-
stacks and covered with big purple
blotches! "

Jaggs yawned ostentatiously, and
strolled over to read the thermometer,
remarking casually that it was about time
to turn in.

"But what happened to the cuttle-
fish?" demanded an insistent chorus.

' ' Why, that really was what you might
call a sing'lar thing," responded Jag?s.
"You see, that there cuttlefish got 'old
o ' me — not as- he 'ad any special use for
me, but just through general cussedness.

on to my arm, o ' course he drew all the
poison out o' the snake bite, and reg'larly
committed suicide!

" 0 ' course, ' ' continued Jaggs, as he
moved to the door, "I ain't recommend-
in' cuttlefish as an antidote to rattle-
snakes, but it just shows as there's a use
for everythink — even sea serpents."

With that Jaggs commandeered the
last pipeful of tobacco left in the jar,
and sauntered off to enjoy a solitary
pipe among the night moths that haunted
the gladiolus borders.

SPANISH IRIS AND GLADIOLUS.

What is the best way to force Span-
ish iris and The Bride gladiolus so as to
get them in bloom for Easter? The
Holland catalogues claim that they can
be forced quite easily. Let me know if
it can be done successfully.

Cornwall.

Forcing Spanish iris is something new
with many of us, but I am trying a few
thousand. We must be guided some-
what by the way they grow and flower
out of doors. They are perfectly hardy
and when planted in beds out of doors
for spring flowering they don 't flower
with us till the middle of June, which
proves they could be forced as we do
early tulips.

Easter is as early as you can expect to
get them. As soon as received in the fall
plant in flats of 3 or 4 inches of soil
and treat as you would your tulips or
narcissus, covering with a few inches of
earth and later a little litter or leaves
to keep out hard freezing. They should
not have higher than a carnation house
temperature when brought in to force
and allow eight weeks from time of
bringing into heat till flowering. Keep
constantly moist; never let them be dry
or they will come blind. I won 't be pos-
itive, yet I believe it would be quite
difficult to get them in flower before
early April.

Gladiolus Colvillei, The Bride is quite
different thing. They want no outside
treatment, as we do with all the so-called
Dutch bulbs, but can be put into soil on
the benches where they are expected to
flower. Like freesia, they can be grown
among carnations or on edges of beds.
Yet this is not the way to grow either
freesia or gladiolus well and they will
repay for a bench of 4 inches of soil in
a perfectly light position. There are few
more delicately beautiful flowers than
this miniature gladiolus, and yet it's
not by any means common.

Plant the gladiolus in small lots every
two weeks so that you will have a suc-
cession. About 55 degrees at night will
suit it, but after you see the spike
formed it would bear more heat if con-
venient. William Scott.

TWO GERMAN NOVELTIES.

Fred. Boemer, of Quedlinburg, Ger-
many, is showing Begonia semperflorens
Golden King. It is described as a varie-
gated sport of the darkest Begonia sem-
perflorens Zulu King, that was intro-
duced in the autumn of 1S97. The
plants of this novelty, as grown under
glass, are of a stout and regular bushy
habit, and branch freely. The leaves
are very small, round, upright, and
bright sulphur-yellow colored, marked
sometimes with spots or blotches of an
orange color. The veins of the leaves
are sometimes of the same yellow color,
but at other times of a lively green. The
flowers are rich crimson, and the seed-
pods crimson-red. When this begonia is
planted out the yellow color becomes
bright caimine or carmine-rose on the
margin of the leaves. Mr. Boemer
states: "All the other yellow-leaved
varieties of B. semperflorens, such as B.
semperflorens atropurpurea foliis aureis,
and also of Begonia semperflorens Gold-
en Ball, are less attractive than Golden
King. ' '

Mr. Boemer also has a variegated
helianthus, of which he states: "Most
of the plants of Harpalium rigidum
foliis aureis, or Helianthus rigidus foliis
aureis, are about five feet in height.
They are vigorous in habit and branah
freely. The rough leaves are bright sul-
phur-yellow colored, sometimes variegated
with green. The flowers are of good size
and of a darker color than the leaves.
I dare say there are few perennials that
have such bright foliage, and I am sure
it will be found valuable for planting in
groups or in beds; but single plants will
also be very effective. The plants are
perfectly hardy and have withstood sev-
eral winters with me in the open ground
without any protection or covering. Last
year about fifty per cent of the seedlings
came true from seed."

CHICAGO.
The Market.

There is a considerable variation in
the reports as to market conditions this
week, some of the houses which usually
are best fixed for orders reporting de-
mand not to their liking. City trade
continues below normal for the season
and shipping orders seem to have fallen
off somewhat since the chrysanthemums
came in, indicating that many buyers
have local supplies of these flowers and
are using them in place of the roses and
carnations for which they must draw on
the wholesale markets. E. E. Pieser, of
Kennicott's, also notes that practically
every order calls for the best grade only,
as though there are plenty of lower
qualities throughout the territory served
by this market, for certainly the call
for funeral and other made up pieces
has not stopped everywhere at once.

Beauties are the one item short of the
demand. Cuts have shortened with most
growers and it is not possible to fill all
orders. Bride and Bridesmaid are eoua
to all requirements, both as to quality
and quantity. Red roses are not so plen-
tiful, but seem little called for just now.
Chatenay is one of the popular items, but
the supply is largely increased this season
and the quality is good, so there is no
difficulty in filling orders.

There is unrest among the carnation
growers because returns are not up to
the averages of the past two seasons.
But it must be remembered that unusual
conditions for those two, seasons put
average prices considerably above any
previous record and that this year we
are back to normal, with larger supplies
than ever. Any grower who has record
of the average price of bis carnations
prior to the two unsual years will find
that by comparison he is doing pretty
well now.

Chrysanthemums, too, are a few points
off from last year's prices, and that
before the cuts have reached full tide.
When the flood is on it is likely to take
a pretty good flower to find what the
producer will call a satisfactory sale.
It is a little too early to say much about
violets. They need a little brisk weather
to give them quality. Outdoor flowers
are still plentiful, but selling slowly.
Green goods are in fair demand. The
weather is fine and warm.

Saturday's Exhibition.

The program committee of the Flor-
ists' Club met last Friday afternoon at
the office of the chairman, C. M. Dickin-
son, and completed arrangements for
the club 's first monthly show, to be held
next Saturday, October 24, opening at
4 o 'clock in the well adapted hall on the
third floor at Handel Hall, 40 Randolph
street. The Foley Manufacturing Co.
has provided premiums for the most mer-
itorious exhibits, both chrysanthemums
and carnations, in addition to the certifi-
cates which will be awarded under the
rules. The judges are J. S. Wilson,
Ernst Weinhoeber and E. A. Kanst. A
good display is assured and a good
attendance, just how good, of course,
cannot be foretold, but upon it
will depend the club's next move.
If sufficient support is forthcom-
ing a much larger show will be given
in November, to which the public will be
invited. Everyone in the trade should
be on hand Saturday afternoon and even-
ing. At the close of the exhibition ad-
journment will be taken to a 50-cent din-
ner, where speech making will be in or-
der.

Wilis N. Rudd, President-Elect of the Chicago Florisls' Club.

The Florists' Club met last evening
with an attendance which taxed the ca-
pacity lit' tlif liall and tin' new era was
inaugurated with a vim which speaks for
the most useful season in the history of
the organization. Much important busi-
ness was transacted and the following
officers elected: President, Willis N.
Rudd; vice-president, P. J. Foley; sec-
retary, Geo. W. Wienhoeber ; treasurer.
Edgar Sanders; financial secretary, Alex.
Henderson; trustees, Geo. Woodward,
Leonard Kill, John Reardon, E. F. Bent-
hey and Robert Johnston.

Various Notes.

The Pacific Express Company, which
operates on the Vanderbilt lines, lias
been tied up this week by a strike of
messengers. A few southwestern ship-
ments wire delayed, but nothing serious.

Several of the' big growers have lately
given their men either a small raise in
wages or reduced the number of hours
which constitute a day's work.

There seems to be no scarcity of help;
Bassett & Washburn advertised in a daily
paper last week and received nearly 100
applications from firemen.

The E. Wienhoeber Co. has mailed to
customers a very handsome ' ' engage-
ment" book, the work of George W.
Wienhoeber.

E. H. Hunt has bought out J. A. Lynn,
of Charlevoix, Mich., and is now the
only manufacturer of the popular birch
bark ware. The new insecticide, To-
bak-ine, is having a great sale.

N. J. Wietor is feeling pretty well
these days, thank you: his little boy is
recovering from a somewhat alarming

illi ess ami they have a nice cut of Beau-
tics just when they need them.

(iuniiar Teilmann, of Marion, Ind., is
sending E. i '. Amling blooms of Robert
Ilalliday chrysanthemum that are a credit
tu the grower and the reputation of that
sterling variety.

E. F. Winterson and his force of as-
sistants are working nights right along
getting out orders for supplies.

Robert Lockyear, of Frank Garland 's,
is on the sick list again this week.

W. N. Rudd entertained a party of ten
congenial craftsmen at dinner at Ladd's,
on Root street, last Saturday night.

Bassett & Washburn are cutting very
good lilies from cold storage bulbs of
Lilium longiflorum giganteum. They have
wholly given up the use of Bermuda-
grown bulbs.

\lichael Eocklin, of Hunt's, and his
brother Morris are to marry two sisters,
the Misses Adelson, on January 23.

Ed. Eisner, of C. A. Samuelson 's staff,
is the proud father of a heavy weight
baby girl, and all doing well.

Will Kyle, of Kennicott's, is doing a
term of two weeks ' jury service.

The daily papers have taken up the
matter of the failure to hold a flower
show this fall; the Chronicle says it is
due to "intestinal strife" in the Hor-
ticultural Society. The shows of the
Florists' Club come in for commenda
tiim.

Bouquet green is arriving and i
mi ".nod quality. The price is abou
$5 in single crate lots.

CARNATIONS.

methods vary but little
iwed in the east. He
sea in July and August

thai prevail on the Pacific coast. And
on account of these same cool (frequent-
ly really cold) nights not many flowers
are produced out of doors. He begins
propagating the young stock about the
middle of October.

The plants on the benches look i s
ceedingly well, being uniformly clean
and vigorous and showing a fine crop of
buds. Nd heal has yet been given, but
ill bcgiu probably the latter pari
of this month. Heavy firing is not neces-
sary at any time, and none at all on
bright days. Each house has liberal side
as Well as top ventilation and the side
ventilators are used every bright winter-
day. This season he will use anthracite
i heating and it costs $13 a ton.
Mr. Thompson retails all his carnation
and the price of first class blooms
has been 50 cents a dozen the year
around. He says, though, that the price
of all supplies, fuel, etc., has so increased
that the price of flowers will have to be
boosted and he will soon elevate his
price for carnation flowers to 75 cents
a dozen.

Lawson is his banner pink variety.
Since the advent of Lawson he has dis-
i rocker, finding that he can cut
three blooms of Lawson to one of
Crocker the season through. But he finds
a good one to sell to customers
as a garden plant. Marquis is also in
this class and is now grown only to sup-
ply wood for propagating plants for sale
to those who wish carnations in the gar-
den.

So far his leading white variety has
been Los Angeles, which originated with
the Redondo Floral Co. It is a good
sized flower and very freely fringed. It
has been very productive and a steady
bloomer with him. He has heard that
the flowers do not ship as well as some
other whites, but as he does not ship
any this lack has not troubled him. He
has now on trial Gov. Wolcott, Lillian
Pond and Murphy's White. So far Wol-
cott and Murphy's White have made the
best showing.

He thinks well of Estelle as a scarlet,
and has a few plants of Adonis on trial.
He grows Roosevelt for crimson and the

good old Kldorado for vel',,w. He has a
full bench of Enchantress and is much
pleased with this now variety. He finds
customers will willingly pa\ lit'n
per cent more for blooms of this variety
than the o

liming the past summer Mr. Thomp-
son added some new glass by extending
one of his lsfoot carnation houses fifty

feet.

PLANT NOTES.

Regarding Shade Trees.

In most of the larger towns on the Pa-
cific coast societies are being formed
with the purpose of beautifying their
respective districts. Many of our cities
have gone beyond the limits of fourth
class villages, and although California
is yet in her infancy we have enough peo-
ple who have a taste for beautifying
the city drives and sidewalks to get to-
gether and organize improvement clubs.
Although palms and acacias are consid-
ered among our most valuable shade trees
there seems to be a disposition among
most planters to use deciduous trees.

First in order is the silver maple, which
makes a very handsome tree and does not
grow so fast but that with judicious
pruning it can be kept within bounds.
This tree is alternated very often with
the American linden, also a vigorous
grower, and a very effective sidewalk tree.
The common cork bark elm was very
largely planted until about two years
ago, but it is not in such favor as it was
formerly on account of its habit of suck-
ering. It plays havoc with well kept
lawns and has the faculty of breaking
eemenl sidewalks anywhere in its imme-
diate vicinity. Carolina poplars have
been discarded for the same reason, and
also the white flowering locust. The
eastern white elm has been planted quite
extensively in nianv localities, and as it
is of slower and more compact growth
than the cork bark it is generally con-
- 1 • I • -i o.l a more beautiful tree.

In evergreen trees the Acacia melonx-
ylon and Acacia mollissima are the most
desirable. The former is the more rapid
grower and stands pruning, better than
the latter variety. The Acacia mollissi-
ma has beautiful fern-like foliage and
bears immense trusses of sweet scented
yellow blooms in the early spring time.
None of the other acacias, except Acacia
linearis and Acacia lopantha. are used
to ; 1 1 1 v extent for sidewalk purposes on
this coast.

Palms make a very satisfactory tree,
and where there is room enough Phoenix
canariensis, Washingtonia robusta and
ISralnea ednlis are extremely ornamental.

1 ■ ■ I ' ' ' ■ | ' - e \

celsa and Dracsena indivisa will be found
very useful. The umbrella tree is very
widely planted in the central and south-
ern portions of California, but it does
not thrive well when located near the
ocean.

Grevillea robusta is a grand sidewalk
tree, but is not well known as yet. When
well started it makes a very effective
growth in a short time and will become
a valuable adjunct to our list of sidewalk
trees. G.

NEW YORK.

Plan for Fall Show.
Leonard Barron, of American Garden
ing, 136 l.ileii. street, New York, is
press agent for the great chrysanthe-
mum show. November 10 and following
davs. and requests that all intending to
exhibit there will kindly forward
promptly descriptions of new plants and
flowers, with photos and particulars as
to the same. The exhibition promises
to be a great success. It appeals to
growers as no other show has done in
that it provides for both large and
small contributors. Its offering of
prizes is characterized by the most,
gratifying liberality. The co-operation
of sister societies is a foundation of
strength, oi wonderful inspiration to
President Hi rington and his associate
officers of the Chrysanthemum Society.
And artistic and financial success is be
yond any question. The exhibition hall
is the finest for the purpose on the con-
tinent, and its 7,000 square feet of space
will be none too great for the crowds
which are anticipated.

Retail Trade Improves.

Ketail windows are beginning to put
on their fall finery, with an abundance
of orchids, chrysanthemums and violets,
and with charming effects produced by
autumn foliage in combination with
these. The retailers seem to have an
abundance of funeral work, many are
still busy with the October weddings.
and all are growing optimistic as to the
coming season. When the smoke of
the elections has cleared and Elijah has
returned to Zion, steadier conditions will
prevail and all will settle down to the
inevitable hustle that never ends till
Easter.

Fred Breitmeyer, of Mt. Clemens, will
be in the city this week and will bring
some sample blooms of his wonderful
new rose, which is still unnamed, and
for the best name for which $100 in
gold is offered by his firm. Fred will
undoubtedly have the $100 with him,
and a warm welcome awaits him and his
pink charmer.

In common with other supply men.
Keed & Keller report one of the best
seasons on record. Christmas is still
some distance away, but in two weeks
they sold over 10,000 of their folding
bell. This is one of their most success
ful novelties; it can be carried in the
pocket and is not injured by usage.
Another good novelty is the chime of
bells and another is the plushine bell of
which they are the originators.

PHILADELPHIA.

The Market.

Chrysanthemums rule now ; everywhere
these gorgeous colors add brilliancy to
the shops. Colonel Appleton, yellow, and
H. Balsley, pink, and Quids are recent
acquisitions. The list of fancies is small
compared with the ordinary sorts; varie-
ties that brought good prices when they
first came into flower, are now offered
at very low figures and are hard to sell
at that. Prices are unsteady now; the
best bring top figures, but they are few
when compared with the army of medium
grade flowers. Cosmos is tremendously
plentiful all at once and "no good,"
commercially speaking. Dahlias are also
plentiful. They still sell, but prices are
steadily receding. Carnations are im-
proving and increasing in numbers; the
best are coming from a distance. Lil-
lian Pond, Floriana, Enchantress, Mrs.
Lawson and other fancy sorts are offered
in some quantity. White is still better
stock than colored sorts in ordinary
grades. Violets are pretty nice now.
Valley is fine. Among roses medium
Beauties are more popular than extras.
Queen of Edgely is coming in more free-
ly. The teas are slowly recovering from
the siege of bad weather. Maids espec-
ially suffered. It is a pretty clever
grower whose stock of this rose is clean
and well colored today. To sum up : It 's
a buyer's market now.

The Flower Mirket.
The first annual meeting of the Flower
.Market — His Grace of York informs me
I am wrong in saying its the second —
was held on Monday last at the Market.
The reports of the officers and the aud-
itor were read. They may be summed
up in that of Secretary Lonsdale. It
was given in one word "Progress."
The election of directors resulted as
follows: For the short term, Alfred
Burton; for the long term, Charles E.
Meehan, R. G. Palmer. J. W. Young.
Two amendments to the by-laws were
proposed :' The first changing the fiscal
year from October 1 to September 30,
to July 1 to June 30, passed without op-
position. President Heacock stating that
it was simply intended to make the mar-
ket year coincide with that of the grow-
ers. The second amendment removing
the clause limiting the number of shares
to be held by a stockholder, now placed

at fifty, met with lively opposition. It
\\;is said that removing this check might
easily result in the Market becoming a
innate concern and unsatisfactory to
the growers who supported it. Aftei
spirited debate a vote was taken, re-
sulting in 285 shares for the amend-
ment and seventy shares against. Numer-
ically the friends of the amendment were
in the minority, but they were the big
stockholders and they held proxies. It

was then ,,ig., I on g I authority that the

amendment was lost, the by-laws provid-
ing thai any alteration required the vote
of two-thirds of the stock. After a
warm discussion the chair decided that
the by-laws bearing on this point meant
two thirds of the stock present, and not
two-thirds of the total number. The
amendment was therefore declared car-
ried. The auction sal< ol stalls, held
Mist before the meeting produced a small
premium, the growers feeling that it
is stuff, not position, that counts.

At Dreer's

The months of August and September
have brought results in the great palm
growing industry precisely similar to
those achieved during the same months
by the now famous Lou Dillon and the
no less famous Major Delmar — old rec-
ords broken, new records made. Yet so
vast is the stock that the various sizes
of each variety remain unbroken, and
whether it is "sixes" or "sevens" that
are ordered, matters not ; they will be
forthcoming and in perfect condition.
One is told that there is nothing new
about the palm business. Perhaps that
is so, still there is always food for
thought gathered in a stroll through
these ranges of houses, — the thrift seen
everywhere, the perfect system, the care-
ful attention to every detail necessary
to command success, always something
new, worth learning if you want to learn.
The novelties of interest are present as
well as the standards. There is the
beautiful green ami gold Selagineila Wat-
soniana, very pleasing to the eye, evi-
dently an acquisition. Then there is a
new- evergreen, a novelty indeed for this
tropical place, of such promise that an
exception had to be made in its favor.
It is Betinospora Sanderii, said to make
perfect specimens, two to two and a half
feet high. Phoenix Boebelenii. a rival of
Oocos Weddeliana in grace and probablv
its superior in durability, is on trial.
These are both imported specimens and
home grown seedlings.

A very bright red alternanthera, con-
sidered better than the so-called A. bril-
liant] sima, grown successfully at Girard
college and at Fairmount park, is on
trial. It seems vigorous, as much brighter
than briliiantissima as the latter is than
A. amoena speetabilis or A. parony-
. hioides major.

The ' ' fernery asparagus ' ' described
before, a hybrid that would climb, has
proved a good subject for propagation
by cuttings, a most desirable attribute
not shared by many of its family.

This week Pandanus Sanderi will be
distributed, or at least the distribution
will commence. The orders for the golden
pandanus have far exceeded expecta-
tions. Growers, retailers, gardeners and
amateurs have shown full appreciation of
its good qualities by ordering freely.

Notes.
W. P. Peacock sent in 13,000 dahlias
in one shipment on Monday last, to S. S.
Pennock. Over 10,000 were disposed of
before 3 o'clock that afternoon.

The Doylestown National Bank re-
opened its doors last week for business
under the new management. It is pleas-
ant to note that the amount deposited
was larger than that withdrawn.

George Farrell started work on Tues-
day with George M. Moss, wholesale
florist, 32 South Seventeenth street.

Edward Reid's paper on the West,
published last week, elicited much favor-
able comment.

C. A. Dunn & Co. are adding the next
door basement to increase their facili-
ties for handling stock.

II. Bingham Myers celebrated the first
anniversary of his assuming control of
the Colonial Flower Shop. Mr. Myers
is pushing the Colonial with a will and
should make it a success.

M. J. Brinton, of Christiana, Pa., is
sending in a nice assortment of carna-
tions to W. J. Baker.

Edward Eeid received about 6,000 nice
carnations one morning lately. This
flower, for which he has a reputation,
is gradually rounding into shape. His
Maids are of good quality, with fine fo-
liage. Kaiserins here are also excellent.
Mr. Reid believes in "turning on the
light" when showing his stock.

The October meeting of the Pennsylva-
nia Horticultural Society was held on
Tuesday evening. Perennials, hardy
chrysanthemums and cosmos were called
for on the schedule.

Eugene Bernheimer reports receiving
nice flowers of Enchantress and Mrs.
Lawson carnations; also Col. Appleton
and G. W. Childs chrysanthemums. The
Floral Exchange is shipping him nice
flowers of Queen of Edgely.

Charles Fox, Broad and Master streets,
had a very large wedding decoration last
week.

George Faulkner is doing a nice busi-
ness at his Fifteenth street store.

It is curious how three truthful writ-
ers can describe the same thing different-
ly. Take the case of early chrysanthe-
mums. Three local writers agreed as to
the grower who produced the first flow-
ers, and the commission merchant who
i...]\,.l them. They probably would
have agreed as to the retailer who bought
them, the swell who ordered them and the
pretty girl who received them, had they
gone so far; but on the question of
varietj there was a startling difference.

BOILER AND PIPING.
I am building a greenhouse 20x100
and would like some information as to
how to pipe it and the adjoining houses.
Two houses I want to run about 50
degrees at night and the other at 65 to
70 degrees. The coldest nights are about
20 to Z5 degrees below zero. I have a
high pressure boiler twelve feet long and
forty-four inches wide, with forty-six
flues. How many runs of pipe will heat
the houses and what sizes are the best ?
How many flows and how many returns.
At what 'part of the boiler should the
returns enter? E. J.

It is not possible to give detailed in-
formation with the scant data furnished.
If the houses have glass on the roof only
one 2-inch overhead flow and ten 1-inch
will answer for the cooler houses, and one
2%-ineh or two 2-inch flews with twelve
1-inch returns for the warmer house. If
there is glass on the sides of the houses
more returns will be necessary and in the
cooler houses the flow must be increased

1'he Market.

Trade tin- past week was exceptionally
good with some of the West find florists.
Social affairs were quite numerous, while
i funeral orders
were put up by the down town florists'.
The usual demand, though, that general-
ly rutin's with the chrysanthemum season
lias tint as yet materialized and the busi-
ness i- qo1 wha( n si Id beat this time

of the year. The mild weather is still
with as and so far no frost of any eon-

report thai the t;in. \ Murk sells well, but
there is too much of the second and third
quality coming in, which has to be sold
for almost nothing. Brides and Brides-
maids are most plentiful, but there are
also plenty of Golden Gates. These are
selling tit 'from $2 to $6 per 100. Fancy
Carnoi are in demand, so are other roses
of this class. Long Beauties are good
sellers, but on other grades the market
is well supplied. Fancy bring $3 per
dozen, and $2 and $1 for the others;
shorts 60 and 75 cents per dozen.

Among the chrysanthemums Glory of
Pacific, Bergmann and Yellow Queen are
best ; really fancy blooms are as yet
limited. Prices run from $1 to $2.50 per
dozen. It is said that by the end of
this week better conditions are expected
in the 'mum market. In carnations in-
door-grown stock is improving in qual-
ity, but nothing very fancy is seen as
yet. There is plenty of second quality
"at. $1 and $1.50 per 100. A good deal of
outdoor stock is still coming in and
with those the market is pretty well sup-
plied with carnations of all kinds.

Violets are becoming somewhat better
in color and a few cool days will see
first-class violets in the market again ; 25
and 35 cents is the price this week.
Cosmos is very plentiful and makes good
window decorations, being very cheap;
25 cents per 100 buys the best. A big
lot of valley was used last week for
weddings and was a little scarce. A good
deal of wild smilax is in and the past
week quite a big lot was used for decora-
tions.

Club Meeting.
The Florists' Club had a very large
attendance at its regular meeting last
Thursday afternoon in Odd follows hall.
The meeting opened nt i'-.:'.<i with all the
new officers present except Vice-Presi
dent Winter. Tie Ini-t.-i- reported that
the list of essays would be ready by the
next meeting. Several important com-
munications were read and filed. Four
applications for membership were read

from S. Silver-inn,, \ ,,i Gorley,

Max Rotter and Walter Hummel. The
first three are retailers and the latti r a
student at Shaw's Garden. Wm. Bonche
whs elected to membership.

J. IT. Hadkinson, of the landscape de-
partment at the World's Pair, was pres-
ent and gave a very interesting talk and
invited all the members to visit the
grounds. Mr. McClure and Mr. Bal

this united the members to visit Shaw's
Garden on Novembei 15 and view the
new rln vsanthemums. which will then
!»■ at their best. Both invitations were
accepted with thanks. A committee con-
sisting of Messrs. Fillmore, Koenig and
Tesson was appointed by the president
to make a collection to help II. Schweit-
zer, of Mendota, 111., who recently lost
everything by storm. All present con-
tributed and any others can send to any
of the committee.

The president handed in a list of the
committees which will have charge of the
1 1 , . m convention of the Society of Ameri-
can Florists. The chairmen of the dif-
ferent committees are as follows: Gen-
eral reception committee, J. F. Ammann;
president's reception. J. .T. Beneke; la-
dies' reception, Fred C. Weber; souvenir
publication, E. F. Tesson; press com-
mittee, A. S. Halstedt ; advertising and
printing, F. .T. Meinhardt; hotels, B. C.
Burchel; finance. Otto G. Koenig; enter-
tainment and sports, Carl Beyer; dec-
orations, Henry C. Ostertag; superin-
tendent of trades display, C. A. Kuehn.
The list of the different committees was
approved by the club. All chairmen
should be present at the next meeting.
The finance committee was instructed to
1 login work at once. Mr. Koenig, the
chairman, promised that by the next
meeting a report would be made.

The following members have promised
essays during the winter: F. J. Fill-
more. J. W. Dunford, J. H. Hadkinson,
Mr. McClure, A. G. Grimier, Geo. Wind-
ier. Messrs. Ammann, Dunford and Hal-
stedt, the trustees, will have the full
list ready by the next meeting, when
a chrysanthemum exhibition will be given
at the club rooms. Three prizes will be
offered for the best ten blooms, $5, $3
and $2 open to local growers only.

The question box brought out several
lively discussions, especially the one con-
demning the crape pullers and the club
will ask the daily papers to help break
up this practice. The meeting then ad-
journed to partake of an elegant lunch
spread in the next room.

The next meeting will be held on
Thursday afternoon, November 12, at 2

0 'clock.

Tesson, of Clayton, spent a very pleas-
ant .afternoon at the club meeting last
week.

Saturday buying supplies. Mr. Guy re-

t i. hi at the Southern hotel. A big lot of
on-hids was used for the occasion.

chrysanthemums. Business at his place
has opened up nicely.

Bowling.

The Ladies' Bowling Club will go in
a body this week Wednesday, to Belle-

of that place in a bowling contest. At

made, which was 145. All the ladies are
improving and are even thinking of chal-

future.

Nine of the bowlers were at the alleys
Monday night and rolled their usual

tin- -lull games, with

scores, as follows:

COVERING PIPES.

What is the best material with which
to cover steam mains, overhead in a
greenhouse, where not all the heat is
wanted, but some would be desirable*
Most of the pipe is 2-inch and expense
is something of an object. F. W.

Hair felt is the cheapest material to
use for such purpose, the thickness de-
pending upon the amount of heat it is
desired to have escape into the house.
One-quarter or one-half inch would be
ample. Another handv wav is to use the
sectional asbestos covering and cover
only portions of the pipe, varying the
amount of covering as circumstances call
for. The asbestos air cell covering made
by F. J. Gast, of New York City, is
very economical and convenient to use.

MADISON, N.J.

A Wonderful Region.
It would take a week of steady visita-
tion and sunshine to do justice to that
modern rose-garden of Eden, Madison
and vicinity. A day and a half, there-
fore, of the wettest of wet weather en-
abled me to only touch the hem of its
garment and left for a more convenient
season the completion of a delightful
visit. Having seen this gem of God's
country only at the yearly Florists' and
Gardeners' Club banquets, and after the
evening shades had fallen, I was not
prepared for the magnificent view that
spread before me in every direction from
twenty to thirty miles.

With the Rose Growers.
Rose growing establishments seem to
emerge from every side, and to tell the
story of one of these rose factories is
to give an epitome of all, for wherever
we go Brides and Maids reign triumph-
ant, and with few exceptions these are
the staple varieties, and form the bulk
of the shipments that make their influ-
ence felt so forcibly every morning in the
busy wholesale marts of New York city.
Some of the establishments visited are
models of neatness, thrift and enter-
prise; all of them should be. Many of
the growers are ' ' old timers ' ' who have
grown gray in the business, and whose
reminiscences are decidedly interesting.
C. H. Totty has the nucleus of a splen-
did range, with an abundance of land,
and every promise of permanency and
progress. His stock of roses and carna-
tions are as good as the best, some ex-
ceptionally grand Lawsons especially giv-
ing evidence of expert culture. A de-
lightful home and family add to his
facilities for extracting a" goodly share
of life's sunshine and his venture into
the responsibilities of independence is
already a pronounced success.

NeiT him is the plant of that veteran
wholesaler, James Hart, of West Thir-
tieth street, a name synonymous with the
wholesale cut flower trade when most of
his present associates were in the nursery
business, and when it took grit anil
money combined to establish a trade and
hold it through the vicissitudes of that
adventurous era. Mr. Hart was strug-
gling with a mildew visitation when I
called and was by no means alone in
his sulphurous atmosphere, the long
damp spell having brought the same af-
fliction to nearly every grower whose es-
tablishment was visited. Pleasant calls
were made upon Schultz Bros., James
Dunlavey, Wm. Mulholland, M. B. Mc-
Guire, Michael Noonan, William Charl-
ton, Bichter & Barton, E. J. Fenton,
Edward McGinnis, Michael Brady and
Benj. Gary. Our old friend Wm. Plumb
also had a warm welcome, as usual, and
surprised us with the finished condition
of his range of glass, every house being
in ship-shape order. There are dozens
remaining whose establishments I hope
to visit shortly.

especially interesting at Mr. Duckham's
and the exhibition in New York in No-
vember will receive some of the grand-
est blooms ever placed before the pub-
lie. A superb white, Miss Florence Moly-
neux, a mauve pink, nearly twelve inches
in diameter; William Duekham, a splen-
did keeper, yellow; Mrs. E. Thurkell,
General Hutton, yellow, and Harrison
Dick, an orange, were especially admired.
In the conservatories about every va-
riety of palm and fern is in evidence
and all are in as perfect condition as it
is possible for them to be. Orchids,
roses and carnations and, in fact, every-
thing that is of value in floriculture is
here, as far as the space at his disposal
will permit. The same perfection pre-
vails in the lawn decoration and the
evergreen garden, and the hand of a mas-
ter artist can be seen on every side.

CINCINNATI.

The Market.

The demand for stock has greatly in-
creased in the last week; general condi-
tions are much improved and everyone
seems to be doing his share. Prices f,re
being gradually boosted and were it not
for the large quantity of stock that
is coming in there would be a decided
rise. Chyrsanthemums are coming in
large numbers and .the price is a trifle
lower than last week, but this is only
for the poorer grades. Pink 'mums do
not seem to sell as well as they might.
White takes the lead, as usual, but there
is a brisk demand for yellow and not
enough good stock to take care of it.
Many growers make the mistake of cut-
ting their blooms before they are much
more than half open, so as to get them
to market a few days sooner. The
blooms, being but half matured, will not
hold up outside of an ice box. Tims
the retail buyer who expects a chrysan-
themum to last four to six days at least,
finds that they wilt down over night and
it is next to impossible to revive them.
It will be money in the grower's pocket
if he will leave his blooms to mature
perfectly.

Short-stemmed roses are still a trifle
over plentiful, but the increased demand
has helped move large quantities of them
that have been finding their way into the
barrel. Longer stemmed ones are selling
out clean and at fairly good prices.
Beauties are scarce and so are Meteors
and Liberties, but there is an abundance
• >f all other kinds. Carnations are com-
ing in much heavier, but still there are
scarcely enough. All varieties have been
showing a decided tendency to go to sleep
very quickly. It is hard to account for
this, but it makes handling them verj
unsatisfactory.

Violets are arriving in much larger
quantities and there are takers for all
ofthem. The quality is very good. The
price still remains about 50 cents. Cos-
mos i^ still in large supply, as we have
had no frost as yet. A few callas and
llarrisii are arriving. Vallev is «-lliiiU
well. Greens are plentiful.

Various Notes.
The B. K. & B. Floral Co., of Rich-
mond, Ind., is sending in a good many
blooms of their new red carnation, Rieh-
m.mcl Com. This variety is improving
very rapidly and the flowers now measure
two to two and one-half inches. Tt has
a beautiful color ami strong perfume,
also g I length of stem mid judging

from the quantity being cut from small
space, it is very prolific. It is hardly a
fancy variety, but looks to be a money
maker, and that is what the average
grower is looking for.

The Queen City Flower Co. has dis-
continued business and the Rosebank
Co. will occupy its store in the near
future. Miss Edith Kyrk, who was man-
ager for the Queen City Flower Co., has
opened a store in Avondali

The retail stores along Fourth street
are filling their show windows with
chrysanthemums and the display is very
beautiful. This will undoubtedly do more
to boom the sale of this flower than
any other method of advertising.

L. A. Jennings, of New Castle, Ind.,
and Mr. Lodder, of Hamilton, Ohio,
were callers. C. J. Ohmer.

THE INDIANAPOLIS SHOW.

With fourteen successful shows in the
past, Indianapolis is to have another
exhibition November 10 to 14, upon a
larger basis. The premium list this
year is heavier and more complete than
for any other show in the United States
for 1903. Extensive preparations are
under way to decorate Tomlinson hall
with thousands of electric lights and
yards of laurel. Tomlinson hall has been
remodeled and will lend itself as never
before for decorating.

A great many of the growers of the
middle west have already signified their
intention of exhibiting, and the request
is made by the manager of the exhibi-
tion that the entries be made early, so
that room may be provided for all. The
show has been extensively advertised
throughout Indiana, Illinois and Ohio,
which will guarantee all exhibitors a
large advertisement on their exhibits.

Two able and well known judges,
Emil Buettner of Chicago, and Theo.
Bock, of Hamilton, O., have been select-
ed. On Thursday evening, November 12,
the State Florists' Association will enter-
tain all visitors to the show, and a
merry time is anticipated in this re-
spect.

Among the more prominent exhibitors
at the show will be John N. May, Sum-
mit, N. J.; E. G. Hill Co., Richmond,
Ind.; W. J. & M. S. Vesey, Fort Wayne,
Ind.; Gunnar Teilmann, Marion, Ind.;
Nathan Smith & Son. A.Irian, Mich.;
P. Dorner & Sons Co., Lafayette, Ind.;
Basset! & Washburn, CI icago, and oth-
ers, besides Baur & Smith, Henry Rie-

i Bertermann Bros., . I. Heidenreich,

F. Huekriede & Son and many others
from Indianapolis.

RENT FOR PALMS.

One question I have never seen an-
swered in the Review is as to the proper
price to ask for the use of palms from
month to month, the proposition being
that a large hotel wants a lot of plants
and wants them changed each month, the
old ones taken away and fresh ones
brought. The house is heated by steam
but. the plants would have to stand bad
treatment at times. Phoenix, latanias
and arecas are wanted. What would be
a fair price say for plants ranging all
the way from 3-inch to 12-inch pots?
Southerner.

Bay City, Mich.— Shepherd & Son
have about completed the season's ad-
dition to their already large greenhouse
plant on Columbus avenue.

like the one which is ruining the cotton.
Be reports that the state of Texas is of-
fering $50,000 to the mini who invents
something that will effectually destroy
the weavil.

Show Prep i ration.

I. Bertermann reports preparations
tor the fall sli.ni progressing favorably;
more premiums than ever before and
more interest among the people. Low
rates are offered by the railways through-
out the state. There is a liberal pre-
mium offered for a new rose not yet in
commerce, nor even named, and we hope
to see an interesting competition for this
prize. Another feature of this show
will be the inspection committee. Each
exhibitor, after setting up his exhibit,
reports to this committee, which will in-
spect his exhibit to see that it conforms
with the requirements of the class it is
entered in. This relieves the judge of
much labor .in counting, etc., besides re-
moving from his shoulders the respon-
sibility of ruling out an exhibit that
does not conform with the requirements.
It has often happened that a visitor broke
a bloom in a vase of several and when
the judge found the vase one short he
was obliged to rule it out. This will not
happen now, as the committee will know
that the required number were put into
the vase by the exhibitor and the judge
will pass judgement on what i
The committee consists of H. W. Rie-
man, H. Junge, E. A. Nelson and A. F.
J. Baur. There will be a banquet given
by the society to its members, and all
those of the craft from out of the state,
so don't forget to make arrangements
before you leave home to stay over
Thursday night.

Notes.

This city is again threatened by the
fakir pest, but all the down-town store-
men have risen in arms against them and
they will be driven out and kept out if
such a thing is possible. None of the
local growers* will sell to them, but they
ship in their stock from Chicago and
other large flower centers. The local
election has just taken place ami when
the new mayor takes his scat the florists
will renew their efforts against the
fakir.

All kinds of stock is improving. Car-
nations are getting better right along
and steady firing i- tilling on the roses.
'Mums are coming in in better quan-
tity and quality, and some good blooms
are now to be had. Trade is picking up
nicely and all good stock is used up right
along. A. B.

A plan and planting list for a new

pared by Samuel Parsons, Jr., New
York. It calls for large quantities of
native stock.

John F. Guenther, of Eochester, died
October 12, aged 76 years. He came
from Germany while yet a young man
and started in the nursery business.
His son, F. Guenther. is now in the
nurserv and florist business at Brighton,
N.Y. '

Within the city of New York'there are
over eighty distinct parks, ranging in
size from one acre to over 1,700 acres,
the largest being Pelham Bay park, near

bv" Van CourUandi park, with 1,132

Brooklyn, 516 acres, and so on to the
smaller breathing spots of the metropo-
lis, making a total altogether of nearly
7,000 acres.

PREPARING FOR PLANTING.

J. A. Pettigrew says that the prepara-
tion of the ground for the planting of
trees or shrubbery is as much a matter
for consideration as the question of
when to plant or what to plant. Due
importance is frequently not given to
this fact. Trees and shrubs often are
crowded into holes that are not large
enough to permit eveu their roots being
extended. Such planting generally is
accompanied by a lack of subsequent
cultivation; and the result is failure.

For single specimen trees, or for
widely spaced trees, holes for planting
should be prepared of not less than
fifteen feet square, and three and a half
feet deep. If the subsoil is good a sim-
ple loosening up, with an admixture of
stable manure or peat, will be sufficient ;
if of sand or sterile gravel, and the best
results are desired, it would be better
to excavate the whole and

A proper preparation of the ground
when intended for mass planting entails
plowing and subsoil plowing, continued
in cross directions until the ground is
thoroughly broken up and reduced t.i :i
mellow condition. Should humus, or
organic matter, be deficient in the soil,
this should be corrected by a dressing of
stable manure, peat, or other organic
matter. This treatment will insure a
condition of the soil which will make
it hold moisture and assimilate fer-
tilizers. In dry, sandy, or gravelly soils
too much importance cannot be given to
the value of surface mulching, or con-
stant cultivation, after planting.

Seed Trade News.

AMERICAN SEED IRADE ASSOCIATION.

The Mann Seed Co. has been incorpo-
rated at Portland, Ore.

The Ford Seed Co., of Eavenna, Ohio,
has filed an involuntary petition in bank-
ruptcy.

California crops are being shipped,
and the invoices show a full delivery in
most cases.

The many changes in postoffice ad-
dresses- occasioned by rural free deliv-
ery require that mail lists be corrected
with great care to avoid duplication.

The government has taken voluminous
testimony in the matter of the claim of
the New York Market Gardeners ' Asso-
ciation. A decision is expected shortly.

As predicted in this column at the
time, the September frost in the Kocky
Ford, Colo., district, while it cut off the
melon crop, increased seed production to
a considerable extent.

The small onion set growers have
come to terms with the buyers, and the
scattered lots which they have held and
which have had a depressing effect on
the market are now out of the way.

SEED CROP SUMMARY.

Onion Sets.

White sets are spoiling considerably
owing to a dry rot that seems to get
worse the longer they are stored. This
is likely to cause high prices for whites
when spring demand starts in. Yellows
and reds are keeping better, but the
quantity of them in storage is not up
to the average of ordinary years. Good
prices will rule before planting begins.

Beans.

The threshing of the garden varieties
is on at most of the growing stations.
Valentines are the sort that promise to
be the shortest. Michigan will produce
about the average quantity from a given
area this year, but in New York and
other eastern sections a considerable fall
down is indicated. The color of the
eastern product will be poor.

Peas.

In most cases the deliveries from the
growers have been made and the situa-
tion appears to be about what has been
expected. The hand picking is well undei
way and the percentages that are to be
delivered on contract orders should be
known shortly.

Cucumber.

There is still much speculation as to
what the final outcome will be. It is
generally conceded that the crop will
be far short of what it should be, and
that last year's values for the seed will
hold good this year.

Sweet Corn.

Notwithstanding the very favorable
fall weather, the growers fear that most
of the late varieties will fail to mature

fully, and that much of the product will
be spoiled in the curing. Present indi-
cations point to a scarcity of all the
standard kite sorts. High prices are
being asked for all the late varieties, and
many of the large growers are at sea as
to the proper values to put upon the
early sorts. It is a case of wait for
developments, and a question as to who
will come out best, the one who waits,
or the one who purchases now.

SOME EUROPEAN NOVELTIES.

Quite a number of noteworthy novel-
ties are offered by European growers
for the season of 1904. SI. Herb, of
Naples, Italy, offers a new coleus of a
dwarf and very compact growth, with
long, narrow and gracefully overhanging
leaves. The colors of the irregularly
curved and undulated, willow-like leaves
are so lively and their shade so mani-
fold, that this decorative plant rivals
many flowering plants. It is well adapt-
ed for planting in beds. He also offers
two dwarf varieties of helianthus, single-
flowered varieties of very compact
growth. Maurandia atroccerulea grandi-
flora is another of his novelties which
will be very interesting to all florists
who grow pot plants for spring sales.
This new maurandia is described as pos-
sessing giant flowers of a beautiful dark
blue. The plant grows very willingly and
vigorously and produces as large a num-
ber of blooms as the old, small-flowered
species. This plant is a splendid, fine-
leaved climber. M. Herb also offers a
very large-flowered, yellow datura under
the botanical name of Datura fastuosa
colossea aurea plenissima. This variety
has large flowers, golden yellow and very
sweet scented. The flowers are double
and are composed of three tube-like
crowns, which are plicated like filtering
papers. This will make a fine plant for
the lawn. Zinnia elegans fl. pi. crispa
is another type of zinnia and is offered
in pure white, carmine, light scarlet,
cream and saffron. Celosia monstrosa
aurea is a new, very tall-growing, yel-
low-flowering coxcomb. Aster Peony
Perfection, with quilled center, is cer-
tainly a striking novelty and is said to
remain double not only during the hot
weather, but even when they begin to
fade.

Messrs. Haage & Schmidt, of Erfurt,
Germauy, are also out with several very
attractive floral novelties. Ageratnm
mexicanum Little Blue Star is described
as making very tiny, bushy plants not
exceeding four to five inches in height.
Aquilegia ecalcarata is a new perennial
from the Japanese island, Yezo, and has
proved to be perfectly hardy in our cli-
mate. A new Aster sinensis, Fairy, is
a type of ray aster. Begonia Schmidtii
rosea, a new pink, is highly recommend-
ed, having a much prettier effect than
the white-flowering type of this plant.
Lobelia Cavanillesi hitea is a very at-
tractive greenhouse plant, blooming the
first year from seed. Phlox Drummondi
nana eompacta Apricot is a new dwarf,
of very uniform growth and height, said

NEW ORLEANS.

Horticultural Society Notes.

At the meeting of the New Orleans
Horticultural Society, held October 15
at 110 St. Charles street, the members
entered into a very extensive discussion
upon this season's crop of chrysanthe-
mums, and it was the unanimous opin-
ion that the flowers this season would
fall decidedly below the accustomed sup-
ply. The meeting was presided over by
Vice-President Eiehling, and Secretary
D. Newsham was also present. After
transacting the regular routine business
of the society, the discussion was opened,
and almost everyone present expressed his
opinion and told his experience. They
found that there would be a fair growth
of the white flowers, but the yellow
flower, which is by far the most popular,
would be far below the standard. This
is due to the fact that there was a great
deal of rain in the summer and a long
spell of dry weather following, which
checked the development of the blooms.
The market, therefore, will be somewhat
short on these popular flowers this win-
ter.

I cannot do without the Keview, as
it is the best guide as to where to buy
stock, and if I have anything to sell I
can 't do better than to advertise in the
Review. — E. O'Neil, Wheeling, W. Va.

Two years ago we wrote you to dis-
continue the Review until such time as
McKinley's prosperity should strike the
south, and as it has reached our corner
now, we hasten to renew our subscrip-
tion to your valued paper. — A. A.
Pantet & Co., Fort Smith, Ark.

I have sold out of carnation plants.
The Review is a wonder-worker. It
reaches everybody and it induces them to
buy. It has brought me orders from the
Atlantic seaboard and all through the
western states, and everyone says, "Saw-
it in the Review," as if that in itself
were a guarantee. — Alfred B. Everett,
Chicago.

CLEVELAND.

The Market,

The early part i of the week favored
us with very fine weather followed on
Saturday by a cold wave, but no frost
as yet, so the cut of dahlias and cosmos,
with a few late gladioli, is still suffi-
cient for all purposes. Roses and carni-
tions can be had in quantities to fill all
orders and white and light pink chrys-
anthemums are seen in all the store win-
dows, also a few yellow. Prices are
still at summer's low water-mark, and

g I mums ran be had at from 6 to

15 cents each.

Notes.

Chas. Brown, of Canton, and W. F.
Kasting, of Buffalo, were here with the
Knights Templars at the conclave.

Fred Witthuhn has been very busy
the past week with funeral work and re-
ports a very good business for the sum-
mer months. He is growing a bench of
very fine Boston ferns and has reason
to be proud of them.

Henry Piggott says that business .at
the new store is far beyond his expec-
He is sending some very nice

mums and carnations to the F. R. Wil-
liams Co.

A new retail store will soon be opened
on Broadway. E.

RANDOM NOTES.

Titusville, Pa. — Thomas Murdoch re-
ports a busy season. He makes a spe-
cialty of outdoor work and has a big
patronage among the secret orders.
William Bay has a snug place and all
the business he can take care of in
design work. He has a good cut-flower
and plant trade. L. J. Rowe is the latest
addition to the trade, having embarked
in the business here about two years ago
and built up a complete range of glass.
Everything is up to date, stock in excel-
lent shape, bright prospects for future

New Castle, Pa.— Fischer & Sons re-
moved their greenhouse plant during the
summer and are busy getting in shape
for fall business, quite a task for
one year, but they did it well. Butz
Bros." are busy getting in fall stock.
They are strong on Asparagus plumosus
in 4-inch pots. This size is rather scarce
in the market just now. J. J. Beck re-
cently entered the ranks as a profes-
sional, having formerly raised a few
flowers for pleasure, being one of the
largest market gardeners in the county.
Carnations were first experimented with,
then roses. Both were very satisfactory.
This year about 25,000 feet of glass is
being devoted 1" cul flowers. I noticed
a pink pompon dahlia flowering m the
house, quite';, novelty. It will be kept
through the winter and will doubtless be
a profitable flower, grown in a cool house.
Lettuce is raised in large quantities, I ,ig
Boston being considered the best variety
for summer n-o. (irand Rapids Forcing
the best winter variety. Air. Beck has a
retail store in town, which gives an out-
let for his varied lines.

Youngstown, Ohio.— Walker & Mc-
Lean have made many changes in the
Hippard place. I found John i W«to
busily engaged pipe fitting, finishing the
heating of a large range lust rebuilt.
One would scarcely recognize the former
plant at Crab Creek. "It has kept us
hustling all summer," remarked Mr
Walker. McLean's health gave way and
compelled him to seek the quiet rest ob-
tained in the City of Brotherly Love
From last reports he was much improved
and expected to return within a few davs
with lots of new ideas and with rejuve-
nated strength. I noticed a bed of the
pink dahlia seen at J. J. Beck s. It
promises to be a popular flower. ex-
periments with solid beds look success-
ful. Roses, carried over, cut back aud
tied down, are making strong breaks.
This method is far more successful than

The Weekly Florists' Review.

FROM OUR ENGLISH EXCHANGES.

The Gardeners' Chronicle.

In a paper on the art of table decora-
tion, Owen Thomas, head gardener to
the late Queen Victoria, says: "Among
bulbs at different seasons of the
to be found many of the most effective
and beautiful subjects for this work,
Commencing with the snowdrop, grown in
shallow pans mossed over, transferred
from these when in bloom, and placed on
small gold or silver or glass plates, and
disposed artistically on the table. The
crocuses are treated in the same way,
rendering an agreeable and pleasant ser-
vice. The hyacinth also, both tho or-
dinary binds and the Koman, may be
used in pots, and when well grown and
flowered make an effective arrangement;
but too ma nj - I thesx must not be placed
on tho table, oi the perfume in many
cases will be objected to. Tulips in pots,
especially the Darwin self-colored ones,
the old English types including the Par-
rot, arc par excellence the most effective
subjects to use for this work. Indeed,
some of the most effective tables I have
ever had the pleasure of ornamenting
have been decorated by tulips, especially
i olored ones."

It is xot only by hindering the loss of
nitrogen that catch crops are useful, but
they also increase the amount of humus
in the soil. The function performed by
humus was long misunderstood, but it is
now known to be the soil's storehouse
of nitrogen, and although not directly
available to crops, it is rendered so by
nitrification. Farmyard manure intro-
duces into the soil these nitrifying organ-
isms in large quantities, a quality not
possessed by chemical fertilizers; a point
of great importance, but which is some-
times overlooked.

New Lily of the Valley. — A Hol-
land grower has a new form of lily of
the valley which has been named Conval-
laria majalis prolificans. Where under
ordinary circumstances there is a solitary
flower-bell pendulous from a short stalk,
there is in the prolific form a close clus-
ter of flowers, of which the terminal one
expands first, and the others in succession
from above downwards, thus forming a
cymose raceme.

A field naturalist concludes, after
years of observation, that the primrose
refutes Darwin's theory that "ever}
known heterostyled plant depends mi in-
sects for fertilization," and that "one
form of primrose must unite with the
other form to produce full fertility."
The flowers which have the stigma al thi
mouth of the corolla are of the ' ' long-
styled" form, and are commonly called
"pin-eyed," and those flowers' which
have the stigma half-way down the tube.
and the anthers at the mouth are the.
"short-styled" form, and are commonly
called ' ' thrum-eyed. ' ' These different
forms grow on different roots. On one
root all the stigmas of the flowers will
be of the "long-styled" form; on an-
other root all will be of the "short-
styled" form.

"Mrs. Marsh" is a variety of Papa-
ver orientalc in which the petals have a
white back ground, heavily striped with
scarlet, and with a purple blotch near
the base. It is one of the finest
in cultivation, has an erect habit, and
bears the flowers on stiff stalks, thus ren-
lering il an acquisition for the back

The Height of

Tree.— ()bt;i

right angle triangle of wood with the
^inpina limb nil. mii three dee! in length,
and with this instrument held with its
base parallel with the horizon, take a
Bighi along the sloping limb, directing
the line of right to the api i of the tree,
and step backwards or forwards as may
be necessary till the base and apes agree
with those of the instrument. Put a peg
in the ground at this point, and a
measurement made thence to the foot
of the tree will be equal to the height of
the latter — four feet being added as
the height of the observer's eye. Another
method is to cut a stick three and one-
half feet long, and insert it in the ground
six inches so as to steady it. This must
be done on a sunny day; measure the
lengths cast by the shadows of tree and
stick, and then ascertain the number
of times the stick-shadow goes into the
tree-shadow, and the result is the height
in yards and fractions of a yard.

INSECTICIDES AND FUNGICIDES.

The following list of the principal
insecticides and fungicides and notes as
to their uses has been prepared by H. A.
Rallou, entomologist on the staff of the
Imperial Department of Agriculture for
the West Indies:

Paris green, London purple and arsen
ate of lead, which are known as ' ' stom-
ach poisons," are adapted for use
against such insects as are able to bite
off portions of their food and swallow the
fine particles. Any poison which may
be applied to such food would there-
fore be swallowed and have an oppor-
tunity of acting upon the insect.

These poisons would have no effect
upon sucking insects, which merely pene-
trate the tissues of the plant or animal
on which they feed, and suck out the
juices from within. In dealing with
them a "contact poison" must be used,
such as soap solution, whale-oil soap,
keroseno oil and kerosene emulsion. To-
bacco, hellebore and pyrethrum may also
be included in this list. These contact
poisons all act in the same general way.
that is, by stopping up the breadline
pores in the sides of the insect'- bodj
and thus causing suffocation. Carbon
bisulphide and potassium cyanide are

used against those insects that are dif-
ficult to reach with either stomach or
contact poisons, such as borers, ants, un-
derground insects, insects in houses, in-
sects in grain bins, etc. These two in-
secticides me, however, poisonous, and
their use, except by an expert or one well
acquainted with them, is attended with
considerable danger. Hellebore, pyre-
thrum, tobacco, lime and sulphur all
have their _ uses both as contact and
stomach poisons, but more especially as
contact poisons for use against soft-
bodied insects, such as grubs, sun-fly
larva?, fleas, plant lice, etc. Of these,
pyrethrum and tobacco are probably the
most valuable.

Lime, sulphuric acid and copper com-
pounds are the principal materials used
as fungicides. The combination most
generally employed is a mixture of lime
and copper sulphate, known as Bordeaux
mixture. The ammoniacal solution of
copper carbonate is also well known as a
fungicide. With the Bordeaux mixture
any of the arsenical poisons may also
be used, in which case one spraying will
serve to destroy both insects and fungi.
With the ammoniacal solution of copper
carbonate, however, only the arsenate of
lead should be used, since the ammonia
has the effect of rendering the arsenic
in Paris green or London purple more
soluble, and the arsenic will be liable to
cause the burning of the foliage of the
plants.

The Bureau of Chemistry of the United
States Department of Agriculture has re-
cently issued a bulletin (No. 68) giving
analyses of a large number of the in-
secticidos and fungicides offered for sale
in America. These analyses show that
great variation occurs in the composition
of even such standard materials as Paris
green and London purple. Bordeaux mix-
ture can be purchased in the form of a
dry powder. It is, however, better to
prepare it as required, since chemical
changes are likely to take place between
the lime and copper sulphate.

I could not get along without your
valuable paper. I have read all the
florists' magazines and I must say yours
excels them all — P. W. He.nnessy, Jop-

'in. Mo.

The greenhouse planl .it' \v. H. Gul-

3ona i- one ol' Dm- [.-(i-^i — t establish-
d the Btate outside of < bicago,
and certainly the largest in central mi-
be business was Founded in 1865,
of the present
a site one block north of the
location, on Logan street. At
Hi \\ ', II. ( hilletl was engaged in
the nursery business. He began with the

erection of a small ^r ilimw, only 16x

in the t :, 1 1 of L865. After two
is house was extended and

room. In 1870 Mr. Gullett erected two
greenhouses I l.\7.".. These narrow and
low-roofed houses n thi style in use
at that time for growing pot plants.
They did service for a few years, but
were replaced about 1SS0 or 1881 by two
longer and wider houses. In 1S79 Walter
Berruinghain, a florist who had learned
his trade under the pioneer florist of this
country, Peter Henderson, entered into a
partnership under the firm name of Gul-
lett & Bermingham. Mr. Bermingham
withdrew from the firm in 1S84, and ac-
cepted a position in the circuit clerk's
office. In the same year Fred Gullett
was admitted to a partnership, and con-
tinued in the business till February, 1889.
At this time a new partnership was
formed under the firm name of W. H.
i uillett. & Sons, the new members of
the firm being C. E. Gullett and Wil-
bur J. Gullett. Contemporaneously with
their association with the business the
firm began the development of a whole-
-.ile trade in cut flowers. The firm
erected its first modern rose house in
1889, following that by putting up a
..n house the next year. Since
1890 they have built new houses or re-
modeled old ones almost, every year. This
season they have built three iron-gutter
rose and carnation houses. Most of their
surplus product goes into the St. Louis
market.

In the advertisement of R. Vincent,
Jr. & Son. White Marsh. Ml., page 859,
issue for October 15, the prices were
quoted per 100 and per 1,000, where it
was apparent that per dozen and per
100 was intended.

The Review does the selling but it
seems strange that this time most of the
orders have come from the east and south.

APHIS PUNK

Is an especially prepared paper
thoroughly saturated with pure
nicotine, making it the most power-
ful insecticide known. The ease with
which it is used and the fact that it
does not injure any tlower or plant

The Weekly Florists' Review,

October 22. 1003.

GLAZING.
I built a greenhouse Inst fall and the
putty is nearly all off on the outside
and much of it is out from under the
glass on the inside. It dries and crum-
bles like marble dust. What is the mat-
ter with the putty, or would candle wick
dipped jn white lead be better?

J. H. H.

The putty was probably of a poor
quality, either some adulterant having
1 ii substituted for whiting or some in-
ferior oils had been used in its make-
up. My plan is to gel the best putty
the local market affords; it need not
necessarily be of the purest grade;
then mix it with one-twelfth its part
by weight of Atlantic white lead, and
work in enough pure whiting to bring
it back to the desired consistency. The
white lead acts as a bond for the putty
and also causes it to adhere better to
both glass and wood. I do not approve
of candle wick dipped in lead, as it be-
comes too hard for general greenhouse
purposes; for ordinary skylights glazed
with very heavy glass it is very useful,
however. Henry TV. Gibbons.

SOCIETY OF AMERICAN FLORISTS.

Department of Plant Registration.
The Conard & Jones Company ask to
withdraw the name Leo XIII. as applied
to a new rose registered by them on July
30, 1903, and to substitute therefor that
of Sir Thomas Lipton, it having been as-
certained that a rose under the name of
Leo XIII was already in existence at the
time of registration. Any one knowing of
any reason against the registration, as
now applied for, under the name of Sir
Thomas Lipton, will please notify
promptly. TVm. J. Stewart, Sec'y.

FIRE INSURANCE.
Ed. Florists' Review: — Is there a
mutual fire insurance company in ex-
istence, operated on plans after the style
of the Florists' Hail Association? We
are asked one and one-half per cent, $15
on $1,000 insurance, on greenhouses
heated by steam and hot water where
the rate on dwellings is $5 per $1,000 of
insurance. We do not see that the risk
on such greenhouses, with a night man
on duty, is so great as on dwellings
heated "by stoves and grates and lighted
by lamps or gas. Warrick Bros.

with

The Market.

The maa ki t is still loaded d<
large quantities of dahlias, cosmos,
hardy chrysanthemums and gladioli.
This has quite a bad effect on the sale
of roses, and particularly on chrysanthe-
mums. At this writing (Monday), one

chrysanthemums of I I
quality at $6 and $8 per 100, and if
in quantity they can be had for
much less. The average price on Pacific
rgmann is $4 per 100. Eoses
are plentiful, but the good grades sell
readily. Carnations are in fine condi-
tions 11 •"• arc producing good flow-
. . s. I ., son i- short -stemmed, but
fine, big blooms. Enchantress is a win-
i sells well. In white the same
conditions exist as last season — a short-
he market price on cosmos, if
bought in quantity, is 10 cents per
bunch. One grower said, this pays for
bunching and the string. Asters of the
-till in evidence. Smi-
las is a glut.

It appears as if all growers have dou-
ble the amount of Glory of Pacific
mums this season. The result is very
ble. The wholesale houses are
erstocked on this variety, while
the white varieties are scarce.
Notes.

Loew & Jones were busy with funeral
work last Thursday. They made up fif-
teen designs which aggregated in value
$250. The emblems were all sent to
Xiles. Ohio.

At the next meeting of the Florists'
Club, November .".. chrysanthemums will
be discussed. All members are asked
to bring specimen blooms.

Eandolph & McClements have a house
of small ferns for dishes which are wor-
thy of mention.

Geddis & Blind will open their new
store at 30 Fifth street, October 31.

Another new wrinkle in the way of a
commission man in this market. He
carries his office in his hat and his store
under his arm. Every day except Mon-
day a messenger makes his calls among
the stores with his box of valley, carna-
tions and violets, which are offered at
low prices. He hails from the east.

OTTAWA, ONT.

This has been a season loug to be re-
membered by all in this part of the
country because of the very unusual
weather conditions with which all crops
have had to contend. There were two
months without a shower, with which to
begin the season; the first rain fell on
Ascension day. Then came the pro-
verbial forty days of downpour, and on
top of that another forty days of heavy
rains, all the way to September. How-
ever, since the first of September the
weather has been all that could be wished
for and the middle of October finds us
with only slight damage done by frost.
But last week saw the end of asters ami
sweet peas. Chrysanthemums are com-
ing in good shape.

The principal glass factories started
up October 15 for the season 's run.

I CHICAGO CLUB'S EXHIBITION. \
i i

The first of the series of exhibitions
planned by the Chicago Florists' Club
was held at Handel hall, 40 Randolph
street, Saturday afternoon, and taxed the
capacity of the room, which was consider-
ably larger than any heretofore used for
the club 's trade shows. The exhibitors
were not numerous, the management
being somewhat disappointed at the fail-
ure of the local growers to be present
with blooms of the standard varieties,
but the Indiana and Illinois growers
came to town in fine style, making not
only large exhibits, but staging flowers
which were a revelation as to the quality
of the early sorts which have recently
appeared in the novelty lists. It was
noted that the great majority of the
chrysanthemums were of European or
Australian origin, and wonderful things
some of the new earlies are, but two ex-
cellent seedlings were shown by C. W.
Johnson, who has named them for his
employer 's wife and his town, respective-
ly, Mrs. H. W. Buckbee, white, and
Rockford, yellow. The judges scored
them above the verv good French sorts
shown by the E. G. Hill Co.

The carnations, while not occupying as
much room as the chrysanthemums, were
of equal quality, the vase of 100 Adonis
shown by Hill attracting particular at-
tention. Fiancee was shown in good
shape and made quite as favorable an
impression as when it was first seen here.
Crusader and others were also shown in
fine shape by the Chicago Carnation Co.
W. N. Rudd staged a nice vase of Phyllis
and F. Dorner & Sons Co.. Lafavette,
showed its two good whites. Lady Boun-
tiful and The Belle, .also two seedlinc-
under number. The Thompson exhibit
was large and included their next sea-
son's offerings, all in good order. The
B. K. & B. Floral Co., of Richmond, sent
Richmond Gem and Gunnar Teilmann, of
Marion, Ind., sent Marion Beauty.

In roses, only two vases were shown,
but one of these was the Breitmeyer seed-
ling of Bridesmaid and Testout. which
although it has been offered in this
market pretty regularly for a couple of
years, is just now beginning to be ap-
preciated at its true worth— which shows
the value of advertising. The other rose
shown was a vellow seedling from Hill,
much like Perle. E. H. Hunt staged twc
fine bunches of violets.

The E. G. Hill Co., Richmond, Ind.
entered four chrysanthemums for cer-
tificates, Cinna, G. Perraud, Ethel
Fitzroy and Lord Hopetoun. In line
with Mr. Hill's remarks at the C. S. A.
convention last year, a vase of Mile.
Cheveraut was staged with the necks
under the enormous blooms reinforced by
wires. Etienne Bomiefond. buff, was very
good, also Mile. Touzet, the early Chad-
wick, and Miss Alice Byron, a commercial
white. Other sorts in the set were F. S.
Vallis, Miss Olive Miller, M. Paul Labbe,
Mrs. T. W. Pockett, Mrs. Tranter, Mrs.
A. McKinley, Mine. Von Andre, Mrs. T.
Longley, Mary Inglis, Rastignac, Mile. E.
Chabanne, Mme. Paul Sahut. Choulet and
C. J. Salter.

Aside from those entered for certifi-
cates, the H. W. Buckbee exhibit included
very fine blooms of the following good
sorts: Matthew Smith, Mme. E. Nieo-
laud, Brutus, Durban 's Pride, Louis
Leroux, Mrs. T. W. Pockett, Mrs. Harry
Emmerton, Viviand-Morel, Matchless,
Mrs. Coombes. Col. Appleton, Alice
Byron, Thos. Humphries, Marie Douillet.
Geo. Carpenter and C. J. Salter, the lat-
ter being particularly good. They also
had a vase of sixteen oddities.

Gunnar Teilmann, Marion, Ind., sent
twelve fine blooms each of Mrs. Coombes,
Alice Byron and Col. Appleton, also one
bloom each of Marie Liger, Mongolian
Prince, Walleroo. Mrs. Robinson, .Teannie
Falconer, Villa de Bordeaux, J. K.
Shaw, Mrs. E. D. Smith. Major Bonn-
affon, G. W. Childs. Robert Ha'lliday and
Charles Davis. His carnations were
Marion Beauty and G. H. Crane.

Nathan Smith & Son, Adrian. Mich,
sent vases of No. 20, a white seedling of
the Mizpah type; No. 26. light pink, and
No. 16, pink, both single; also No. 1, a
pompon, and blooms of Amorita and
Cremo. They also sent a vase of their
scarlet eanna. The Express.

W. N Rudd had some good blooms of
Ivory, white and pink.

Besides Fiancee, the Chicago Carna-
tion Co. showed Crusader, Reliance, Har-
lowarden. Moonlight and No. 822A.

The Thompson Co. had Apollo, Pros-
perity. Mrs. Patten. Boston Market,
Gov. TVolcott, Estelle, Adonis, Lawson,
Nelson Fisher, Harry Fenn and En-
chantress. The Wole'ott impressed the
growers very favorably.

The Dorner novelties, Lady Bountiful
and The Belle, were much admired; they
give every promise of being first-class
commercial varieties. No. 193, pink, is
also a good one. No. 37, variegated
light pink, is a large flower of a some-
what unusual color. It had not traveled
well.

Bassett & Washburn showed a vase of
the California carnation, Hannah Ho-
bart, also ten seedlings raised on their
place by Joseph Kahout. These include
two good reds and a particularly prom-
ising white, the latter the result of a
cross of Prosperity and Morning Glory.

Vaughan sent two plants of the Pier-
son fern, some solanums and a half-
dozen blooms of Mrs. Robinson chrysan-
themum. F. A. Bailer, Bloomington, 111.,
showed six varieties of clematis and the
George Wittbold Co. sent down some
good palms, draesenas, etc.

The judges were James S. Wilson,
Ernst Wienhoeber and E. A. Kanst. They
scored the chrysanthemums as follows:
Hill exhibits, Lord Hopetoun, 87; Ethel
Fitzroy. 86; Cinna, 85. Buckbee ex-
hibits, Mrs. Buckbee. 91; Rockford, 88.
The carnations were scored as follows:
Chicago Carnation Co. exhibits, Fiancee,
91; Reliance, 89; Crusader, 85; No.
S22A, 85. W. N. Rudd exhibit, Phyllis. 90.
Thompson exhibits. Nelson Fisher. 87;
Mrs. M. A. Patten, 85. Dorner exhibits,
Lady Bountiful, 87; The Belle. 86; No.
193, 82; No. 37, 75. Teilmann exhibit,
Marion Beauty. 79. B. K. & B. Floral
Co. exhibit, Richmond Gem. 75 points.

The Folev premiums were given as fol-
lows, for best general display: First,
E. G. Hill Co.; second, Thompson Car-
nation Co. ; third, H. W. Buckbee. Com-
mendatory mention was made of each of
the other exhibits.

The only possible fault to be found
with the exhibition was with the attend-
ance. While the hall was well filled, all
of the time, some of the well known faces
were missing. Only four retailers pre-
sented themselves during the afternoon
and a number of those in the wholesale
market did not so much as look in. Cer-
tainly they would have been well repaid.

Tbe Supper.

After the exhibits had been removed
about fifty adjourned to Becker & Jack-
son's restaurant for dinner. The tables
had been tastefully decorated and every-
one did justice to as good a dinner as
anyone need ever expect for half a dol-
lar. Then the judges were called on for
their report, after which Mr. Thompson
introduced Philip Breitmever. of Detroit,
president-elect of the S. A. F., who com-
mended the show and said he hoped to

be here again soon to see such another.
He was followed by Fred. Dorner. Jr., of
Lafayette; Fred. Lemon, of Richmond;
Geo. F. Crabb, of Grand Rapids; J. F.
Sullivan, of Detroit, and G. W. Johnson,
of Rockford. The last speaker was W.
N. Rudd, who outlined the plans for mak

ing Chicago's the best florists' club in
the country. Winterson and Balluff sang
and the crowd broke up with a vote of
thanks to C. M. Dickinson and E. F.
Winterson, to whose efforts the succ.es
of the afternoon and evening was due.

GOOD COMMERCIAL VARIETIES.

The reproductions from photographs,
pages 920-21, give a good idea of the
flowers of three reliable early 'mums
which are worthy of extended culture.
Miss Alice Byron can be hail in good
shape from October 1 onward to the
end of the month, according as the bud
is taken, early or otherwise. It is a
very pure white, a clean dwarf grower
and very large size, and best of all, is
a fine keeper, not getting spotted or
stained in bad weather.

The two varieties in one picture are
Mrs. Coombes and Lady Harriet, Mrs.
Coombes being the Japanese on the left.
These two sorts can be cut earlv in Oc-
tober; in fact, at the present writing,
October 17. are all cut away. They are
two excellent pinks and will give satis-
faction to any grower. Thev will not
damp and will give 100 per cent of
good flowers.

Neither of these three varieties can
be called new, as they were recom-
mended in tlv-se notes a vear ago and
this year hove fully maintained their
reputations. The photographs were
taken by Mr. Herrington, president of
the Chrysanthemum Society of Ameri-
ca, who grows these varieties exten-
sively and is almost as enthusiastic on
taking pictures as he is on taking
prizes.

Other Varieties.

Other good sorts that are now ready
for cutting are Mrs. Robinson, the "old
standby;" Henry Hurrell, Nellie Pock-
ett, always a beauty and this year finer
than ever; H. J. Jones, Robert Halli-
day and Viviand-Morel. In the nov-
elties, Mrs. Alexander McKinlev is de-
veloped and is a very pretty flower,
reddish salmon in color and dwarf in
habit. Donald McLeod is an ideal grow-
er and while its color, yellow spotted
with crimson, may not appeal so much
to the commercial men who want only
self-colored varieties, it will find a
place with the exhibition grower. Tts
petals are long and drooping and the
foliage and general appearance particu-
larly pleasing.

Harrison Dick is another very
strong grower, easy to handle and will
make a place for itself. The color is
classed as a reddish terra cotta and
probably that describes it as well as
anything. Harrison Dick will un
doubtedly be heard from later.

Of the last year's novelties Mrs. T.
W. Pockett is finished and cut. It is
a beautiful and satisfactory variety,
and if it were not for the 'new Chel-
toni I would say it was the most beau-
tiful yellow Japanese in cultivation.

< '■ J. Slater is open fully and on the
crown bud, taken the middle of August,

very

Smaller, flatter flowers and an extended
trial proves that it will not displace
Appleton, as I thought last year. It
is lighter in color than Appleton and
will not give so large a percentage of
first-class flowers.

Mrs. Thirkell, Millicent Richardson
and Lord Salisbury are showing up
splendidly. The first named, in par-
ticular, will produce a sensation where
it was not exhibited last year.

Why is it, I wonder, that so many
growers are content to drift along with
such varieties as Ivory, Lincoln and
such old-timers, when a choice can be
had of such splendid sorts as are today
exhibited? As well might they try to
keep in the front rank with carnations
by growing Scott, McGowan and Por-
tia!

fount Van der Stegen is now ready
to cut and is a very handsome variety.
Crimson and gold in color, it
striking in appearance.

F. S. Vallis is a Calvat seedling and
one of the very largest in size. The
days of Madame Carnot and its sport,
G. J. Warren, are numbered when we
can get magnificent varieties like this
that are easily grown. Vallis may
easily be taken for a yellow Carnot. al-
most the only difference being that it
is a much stronger grower.

From now on the 'mum lover i= in his
glory. One after another the novelties
are coming out, showing wonderful
progress, and this year is going to be
one of the most notable in the history
of the chrysanthemum. I believe the
New York exhibition of the National
Society will be a revelation to the aver-
age grower who is not posted as to the
very newest varieties and the large
number of classes, covering everv con-
ceivable type, insures an exhibition
that, for magnitude will probably not
again be approached for manv years,
unless got up under similar auspices.
To every grower, large or small, I say,
see that New York show if you have
to walk home afterward.

Brian Bom.

WM. DUCKHAM AND CHELTONI.

We have waited long and expectantly
for a pink chrysanthemum that should be
on an equality with the good white and
yellow ones. The Outcry has been : "Too
much white and yellow ; give us pink. ' '
And in the endeavor to supply the cut
flower market with pink tin- fickle and
uncertain Viviand-Morel has been the
grower's mainstay, but with more vexa-
tion than profit.

We need no longer deplore the paucity
of pinks, for as an early pink variety-
Mrs. Coombes improves with age and is

here to stay. Succeeding it, Mile. Marie
Liger has strengthened the good impres-
sion it created last year. In Wm. Duck-
ham, however, we have the advent of a
peerless beauty, of surpassing merit, vig-
orous in growth, stout in stem, well
clothed with heavy foliage, and crowned
with a flower that may be termed perfec-
tion alike in form, finish and color.

Our English friends gave Wm. Duck-
ham great praise when it won the silver
medal at Edinburgh last year, but some
of their greatest acquisitions have re-
fused to adapt themselves to American
conditions. Here we have one that as-
serts itself at once, attains the zenith of
chrysanthemum beauty in its first sea-
son and apparently deserves the highest
meed of unqualified praise.

Chrysanthemum Wm. Duckham was
raised in England from Australian seed,
and herein probably lies the secret of
its ready adaptability, since the Austral-
ian varieties have already shown a facil-
ity of response more marked than those
entirely of European origin. The flower
on page 919 is from a bud taken early
in August. Those from later buds differ
from this only in showing a greater
breadth of petal. The short neck is no
detriment; in fact, it rather enhances the
beauty of the flower by giving it a
slight elevation above its mantle of lux-
urious foliage, so that the eye can better
appreciate its bold, yet graceful contour.
The color is a clear, uniform light pink.

Cheltoni is a sport from Nellie Pockett.
It is in every respect a counterpart of
its parent in a really good shade of yel-
low, although brighter than is usually
seen in a yellow sport from a white var-
iety. There appears to be a slight varia-
tion in form, the petals more closely in-
folding, giving more solidity to the
flower. Should this prove a constant char-
acteristic it will make Cheltoni much more
amenable to commercial needs, while the
private grower for home use will find it
a gem. A. H.

NOTES ON NOVELTIES.

That this is a boom year for the chrys-
anthemum is evident, and nowhere is it
more evident than in the list of new vari-
itiis that are being tested and are show-
ing slich wonderful advances. Of these,
perhaps the pinks will be the most sought
after. William Duckham is unquestion-
ably the sensation of the year. Every
bud, early and late, is producing an ex-
quisite flower, which shows its ease of
culture, and its immense size and lovely
soft color stamp it as the standard pink
of the future for either commercial use
or exhibition.

Another pink that would, in the ab-
sence of William Duckham, fill a large
place is F. A. Cobbold. It is. however,
deeper in color, and instead of incurv-
ing, as Duckham does, is reflexing as it
finishes and will make a noble flower. It
is one of the strongest varieties I have
ever seen, dwarf and with immense
foliage, and as it is of different forma-
tion is a worthy companion to Duckham.

Leila Filkins'is another beautiful pink,
clean and healthy in growth, and at
present resembles a very much improved
Morel, but as it finishes the petals droop
closer to the stem. The florets are not so
broad and massive as the two preceding
varieties, but it is a variety that will at-
tract any chrysanthemum lover by its
own individuality, and will take the
place of Morel because it is of bo much
better habit.

In dark varieties a wonderful ad-

vanee can be seen. Your correspondent
of last week, S. A. Bill, speaks of two
of them, Lord Alverston and S. T.
Wright. These are both very fine, but i
think Maynell and Henry Barnes superior
to the first named. Lord Alverston is
the deeper colored, but smaller than the
others, and S. T. Wright is rather too in-
curving to show the beautiful velvets
crimson color. As it finishes it may
reflex more, as the description of the
raiser states that when placed in the sun
it reflexes like an enormous cactus
dahlia.

Henry Barnes is a Japanese and shows
its wonderful color to the best advantage
It will become a favorite for exhibiting
in collections, as its color is so telling,
and I do not see why it should not be ex-
tensively grown as a commercial crimson.

Maynell is the largest of the crimson
section, with broad, massive petals, su-
perb stem and foliage and an individu-
ality all its own. Neither of these vari-
eties are liable to burn in the sun; in
fact, they seem to like it. Compared
with the old Childs and similar sorts,
they show at a glance what wonderful
improvement has been effected in thi
crimson section.

Ben Wells is a monster flower, of deli-
cate flesh color, very strong habit and of
the easiest possible culture. Anyone, ap-
parently, can make an exhibition flower
out of this variety.

Another monster is Miss Mildred Ware.
This variety has petals hanging down ten
inches in length and under artificial light
is Lawson pink in color, brilliant and
glistening. It is a great exhibition va-
riety, as large as Carnot, of similar
formation, with fine stem and foliage. In
fact, not one of the novelties of this year
is weak in stem, but without exception
are strong and healthy. Brian Boru.

SPIDERS ON CHRYSANTHEMUMS.
I have a house of chrysanthemums,
exhibition varieties, that show traces of
red spider on the opening blooms. Can
any of your experienced correspondents
tell me if light treatment with hydro-
cyanic acid gas would injure the blooms
and would be effective enough to kill the
spider .' The house is 24x25 feet ; height
at ridgepole 15% feet, at back gutter
nine feet and at front gutter six feet.
H. T.

My experience with hydrocyanic acid

gas is

of a character to recommend L1

to any one. We heard -mne little whi
ago that this was to be the only inseel
tide, but outside of the violel growers
does not appear to find favor. My exp
rience with ii on orchids and simili
stock was disastrous, and 1 have not us<
it since; neither would 1 recommend ai
one else to use it. It is too late now
do much iu the way of getting the n
spider out of the flowers. Pi rsi nallj
would put sulphur on the steam pip

and also paint a little nic I

pipe at night. The fume- from the si
phur will kill spider, but if used ti
strong will bleach the color out of tl
pink varieties. It will be a good lessi
to H. T. to be sure next year that he
free from spider and other insects befo
the buds show color. One often lear:
more by his failures thau by his success(
Brian Boru.

Handling Summer Bloomers.

During the next few weeks, when
'mums will be plentiful and consequent-
ly a slight drop in the demand for roses
may be expected, and as the winter
blooming stock should now be able to sup-
ply the lessened demand, this will be the
proper season to prepare the summer
blooming stock for the winter's rest.

To get the best results from, such va-
rieties as Kaiserin, Ivory, Liberty and
Chatenay, when used for summer work
alone, they should have a long period of
absolute rest. By beginning now to
gradually withhold water and heat they
can be reduced to a dormant condition
in four or five weeks, that is if they
are on benches. If they are planted in
solid beds they will require a few weeks
more.

While putting them through the ripen-
ing process a careful watch must be kept
on red spider, as the gradual lessening of
the moisture in the house will encourage
their increase. Very frequently houses
which are undergoing this process are en-
tirely neglected in this respect, many
growers being under the impression (at
least one would so judge from their ac-
tions) that because they are going to lose
the foliage anyhow, it does .not matter
how quickly or by what means it is re-
moved, and the sooner the leaves are off

tin bushes si. much earlier are they rip-
raid. Xow these leaves are just as es-
sential to the perfect completion of the
ripening process as they are to the plant
in the height of its growth, and any
rapid denudation of the foliage must
have a sen. ms effect on its vitality.

Spider can be held in check under these

c litions l>.\ an intelligent use of the

syringe, using a nozzle isith a fine spray,
which, if directed aright, needs no great

Milan f water. The temperature should

be gradually reduced till by the time the
plants are ripe it should be about 35 de-
grees at night and should be kept at
that figure, or not to exeeed 40 degrees,
till the} are started up again. During
the period of rest the ventilators should
remain opeu as much as possible, only
rinsing them during rain, snow, or when
there is danger of the ground freezing.

After the foliage is all off there is
still need to keep a strict watch on the
house, as after a week's sunshine the
soil on the bench may get too dry, which
may cause the bark to shrivel. A light
mulch of leaves or dried grass is a good
safeguard against this.

By the beginning of February it will
be time to begin preparations for start-
ing them, so that they may be ready to
take the place of the winter bloomers
which we will have to throw out in May
and June. Mulching should now be at-
tended to. It is a great mistake to think
we are saving labor by putting the mulch
on thick at this season, so that we will
not have! to renew so frequently. It is
very easy to bring a check on the most
vigorous stock by this method, a crop of
yellow leaves being one of the first signs
that the roots are suffering from the
exclusion of light and air. Till after the
days begin to lengthen one-half inch in
depth at one application keeps us on the
safe side. Where there is any sign of
weakness or trouble in the stock it is
safer to withhold the mulch till health
again returns. Kibes.

BEST BEDDING ROSES.

Mr. Scott's most timely and instruc-
tive article in your issue for October
15, on bedding roses, their treatment,
care and planting, merits the attention
of all ilorists who would cater to tie-
great number of plant buyers who an-
nually, as spring comes around, seek
for varieties to embellish their lawns
and grounds jn suluirl.au homes.

Complying with Mr. Scott's request,

1 append the na 9 of those sorts that

are suitable for the purpose he names:
President Carnot, Kaiserin Augusta Vic-
toria, Meteor, Balduin, .Mine. Caroline

duce fine individual buds and good flow-
ers.

"Where effect is desired on the lawn
or in the border, and masses of bloom
are required, the following are quite ef-
fective, but lacking in the qualities that
are possessed by tile individual blooms
in the preceding list: Comtesse Eiza

Empress Alex, of Russia, Mrs. R.. B.

varieties, which include Hermosa,

The following recent introductions
are certainly verj promising for the
purpose described by Mr. Scott:

Comte. A. de Poras, a charming tea
variety, bearing variable, high-colored
buds and flowers; the colors shown vary
from crimson to bright yellow.

Souvenir du Pierre Netting, a very
fine citron-colored yellow, with reddish
lues; a tree blooming tea.

Joseph Hill, a hybrid tea variety,
somewhat in the line of Sunrise; a per-
sistent bloomer, and splendid in growth.
This is a good companion plant for
i 'resident Carnot, which it resembles in
all save color.

Pranz Deegeu produces very freely
in the open, and its delightful charm of
color will certainly make it welcome.

Ideal is a charming ' sport of La
France, which will certainly commend
itself to all lovers of fine roses; it dif-
fers from its parent in having stiff,
erect petals, with less of the light sil-

Angela Mull is a fine white tea with
flowers of good size; the petals are of
great substance, and it produces fine,
large double flowers.

Thanksgiving Blooms.

Plants should now bo firmly established,
supports in place, and in the ease of most
varieties a goodly number of buds and
blooms in sight. Attention will neces-
sarily bo directed toward the Thanksgiv-
ing crop, for which there is an increased
demand each year. Lawson, Nelson,
Joost and Floriana for pink, Crane and
Apollo for red, Gov. Roosevelt for crim-
son and Enchantress for delicate pink,
present a good range of color for this
occasion, and ought to be in good evi-
dence at that time.

Plants that are growing vigorously
should now receive a top dressing of bone
dust and fresh soil prepared about a week
in advance, in the proportion of six to
eight parts soil to one of bone. Turn
frequently to prevent excessive heating
and apply at the rate of a handful to a
row of five or six plants," watering imme-
diately.

The turning and heating of the mixture
renders the fertilizing qualities of the
bone soluble; therefore in watering give
a sufficient, quantity to carry these ele-
ments within reach of the roots, but see
to it that none runs through, thereby los-
ing in solution that which is motet valu-
able to the plants. Two weeks later a

Speaking of wood ashes, while they are
a most excellent thing for carnations I
am led by observation to advise against
its use in equal quantities for each color.
Its effect appears to brighten a color,
and, in the case of delicate shades, too
frequent or liberal applications have been
observed to produce streaks, blotches or
flecks. Its need is readily seen in a

lack brilliancy.

The Fall Exhibitions.

The fall exhibitions will be upon us in
a very short time and to many they are
a very interesting time. It is in the fall
show reports that we usually look for
the first information regarding the va-
rieties that we are expected to invest our
cash in tho next spring. If a variety
shows up well at the November shows and
keeps in good shape through the winter
we are usually safe in investing in a few

■when they are offered for sale, but we
usually try to steer clear of the varieties
that keep themselves hidden up to Jan-
uary and then spring forward and cap-
ture high scores, and cups, and medals.
They seldom pay for their keep, to say
nothing of making you any money. So
watch the reports regarding the new va-
rieties, but don 't conceive the idea that
a variety that is shown at all the shows
is better than a variety which makes an
equally good impression at one or two
shows. The fact that a variety is wide-
ly exhibited does not prove it's superi-
ority, but rather the hustling quality of
its owner.

To the seedling raisers and dissem-
inators these shows are just as interest-
ing and important, as they give them an
opportunity to show us just what you
want to know. There are a few firms in
this country who can introduce a variety
successfully on the strength of their own
reputation, and these fall shows are not
a necessity to them, but there are a
great many more who find it necessary to
prove their assertions before you are
willing to invest in their seedlings. To
these the fall shows are a necessity. The
comparatively unknown young seedling
raiser will find that a decisive victory for
his variety at one of these shows will
boost the value of his variety only a lit-
tle less than the same victory at the A. C.
S. convention. If you have a pet seed-
ling and wish to advertise it, you should
take advantage of these opportunities, if
it is in shape to show. All experienced
exhibitors know that it is one thing to
have a fine lot of blooms on the plants
and quite another thing to stage them in
good condition 1000 miles away. Care-
ful handling and expert packing are es-
sential, and to pack carnation blooms so
that they will not become crushed is a
problem that has bothered the very best
growers and packers. A bloom that lies
on its petals twenty-four hours or more
and is shaken around a good deal be-
sides, is not very apt to have a perfectly
round form when it is unpacked. When
simply packed in layers this is apt to be
the result even if you only pack one
layer in a box. I have seen many blooms
packed with cardboard collars around the
calyxes, just below the petals and just a
trifle wider than the blooms, and in most
cases they traveled well. You must fasten
the stems so that the blooms cannot move
the least bit, else the cardboard is liable
to injure the blooms next to it. Some
make use of small pillows, made by roll--
ing tissue paper into rolls thick enough
to hold the blooms up off of the bottom.
This is all right, too, if you fasten the
pillows so they cannot move or weight
down the tiers below.

It seems to me the best way is to tack
a light stick across the box for each row
of blooms to rest on, and you can tie
each bloom in place if you wish to do so.
Drive the nail through the side of the
box and into the end of the stick. This
will make each row of blooms inde-
pendent, of all the others and there can
be no crushing and you can put in row
after row until the box is full to the top.
A slight crushing would not prove very
serious if the blooms could have a few
hours' time to freshen up after being
unpacked, but this is in most cases de-
nied them and they must face the judge
just about in the shape they were in
when unpacked. If the journey is only a
few hours it will be enough if you place
moistened tissue paper between the stems.

being cut. If the journey is long you
should use Kift's little flower bottles.
When packed with the stem stuck into
one of these bottles a bloom is almost as
well off as it was in the vase in your
cellar. A. F. J. Baur.

ERADICATING THE RUST.

Enclosed find some specimen leaves of
Daybreak carnation affected with some
kind of rust. Last year we were trou-
bled by the same thing on the Crane,
but they are clean so far this year. Can
you tell the trouble and advise a rem-
edy? E. S. P.

The sample leaves show clearly that
the carnation plants are infested with
the common carnation rust or Septoria
dianthi. This disease is usually brought
on through too much syringing overhead
and not enough ventilation, resulting in
a stagnant, moisture-laden atmosphere.
To eradicate it is not quite so easy as it
is to bring it onto your plants, but
growers as a rule do not consider it such
a dangerous disease as they did a few
years ago, and if it does not make too
much headway on the place we do not
let it worry us much. Pick off all the
diseased leaves and burn them. Then
dust your plants thoroughly with lime
into which you have mixed about one-
fifth its bulk of sulphur. If you have
some grape dust on the place if will be,
perhaps, a little better than the lime.
After a few days, on a bright morning,
you can syringe it off, and in the even-
ing, after the plants have dried off
again, you should repeat the dusting,
leaving it on again for a few days.
Throw some lime around under the
benches or in the walks and keep the
ground dry, so as to keep a dry atmos-
phere. When you water, run the hose
between the rows and let the water soak
into the soil without wetting the foliage.
Of course the water should run slowly
from the hose so as not to wash the
soil. You will find that some varieties
are very prone to take this disease,
while others seem to be almost entirely
proof against it. Old Daybreak always

ilid seem to be a great favorite with this
disease, and unless it does better with
you than it does with most growers who
still hold on to it, you will do well to
drop it and secure stock of some of the
newer varieties. For instance, En-
chantress has not shown a sign of any
kind of disease with us, and it is far
and away ahead of Daybreak in every
respect. The growth is stronger and
more upright. It comes into bloom
earlier and produces a better bloom in
September than the old variety ever
produced in midwinter. Enchantress is
as far ahead of Daybreak as Daybreak
was ahead of its predecessors of that
color. A. F. .T. Baur.

PACIFIC COAST.

PLANT NOTES.

There is no reason why Dutch bulbs
will not succeed as an ordinary garden
flower in California if a few simple,
common-sense rules are followed. Three
seasons ago 1 planted the remains of
1,000 Eoman hyacinth bulbs in the month
of April out in the open field. The
foliage had all died down and I had
taken them from flats that had received
no water since taken from the forcing
house. In April, bear in mind, every-
thing in California is dry and dusty, and
l 1m Imllis which had shriveled to about
one-third of the size they were when 1
boxed them, although each one had three
or four smaller bulbs clinging to it, were
planted out in rows in the thoroughly dry-
soil.

They did not get a drop of water until
the following November, when the rains
began. The leaves showed themselves in
January and about the middle of Febru-
ary I cut about 1,000 spikes of flowers.
I gave the bulbs no attention whatever
and the following year they produced
about 1,500 good stems of bloom. Last
spring I cut about 4,000 strong spikes
and I dug up the row in July. Where
I h.ol originally planted 1.000 discarded
Roman hyacinth bulbs I found about

4,000 fine large bulbs, fully fifty per
cent larger than anything I have eve)
received from Europe. 1 have planted
for forcing about 3,000 of them and will
report my success with home grown bulbs
later on.

1 have had about the same results
with Dutch hyacinths — that is they have
multiplied in the same proportion. The
only rule I have followed is to keep them
perfectly dry until they " ■' ed theit

I think, why the general run of Custo-

I find the same rule applies to daffo-

and narcissus. I transplant my daffo-
dils about every third year, jonquils, m
lips and crocus every season, and the
anemones once in two years. Later on I

Mr. Peacock tells us he has been grow-
ing dahlias under glass for thirteen years-
ami I have occasionally heard of a few
others doing it. Yet 1 think it is a very,
very small minority of the commercial
florists of tli' country who have given
the dahlia any thought as an Easter
flower. Some of our largest firms have
been making a specialty of supplying the
trade with a half dozen of the finest
decorative varieties for forcing purposes.
So there is no trouble iu procuring plants
in condition for starting in January.
Lifting and Storing.

Only within a very few days have the
dahlias been injured by frost, even in
our northeastern states, and now the tops
are killed it is time to dig the roots. Any
place that will keep potatoes will do for
dahlias. I can remember in the "Auld
Sod ' ' that they were hung up to the sides
of the wall in any cool shed. Beneath
a carnation bench, with some old boards
under them, will winter them first rate,
and the less drip on them the better.
Whether these roots, when divided, would
be the proper thing to force for Easter
is a question I would like to hear about
from a specialist. Perhaps they are. We
treat the dahlia as if it was an herba-
ceous plant, as we do a eanna, but in its
native clime I think it is no more truly
herbaceous than is the eanna. Yet I will
venture an opinion that the best way to
prepare a dahlia for forcing would be to
take spring propagated cuttings and, in-
stead of planting out, grow them along
during summer in 4-inch pots, ripening
them off by the middle of September and
resting till time to force.

Roses for Pot Forcing.

The time is approaching for lifting
hybrid perpetual roses and Eamblers
from the ground for Easter and spring
blooming plants. We heard the other
day from one of the most intelligent gen-
tlemen who travel that a famous Phila-
delphia grower of fine plants grows his
Crimson Eamblers one year in the ground
and the following spring lifts them and
grows them through the summer in pots
and forces them the following winter.
This is indisputably the safest and surest
way to get a well-flowered plant, and I
have advocated that method often. But
this famous grower of fine plants, if he
docs it now, did not do it so a few years
ago, for we saw his plants coming into
the shed from the field about the 10th
of November. The majority of growers
lift tlmm in November and force them
that winter and many are very success-
ful. The critical time with the Rambler
grown in this way is the short period of
two months or less between lifting and
starting into growth in January, because
you do not cut down the Ramblers. You
lift them with more or less loss of roots,
but leave on all the growth to be sup-
ported by an entirely inactive root. With
the hybrid perpetuate it is somewhat dif-
ferent. Those you cut down severely
when brought in to force ; still they often
break poorly and weakly through the loss
of active roots and the drying out which
more or less occurs with the greatest care.
Lifting, Potting and Storing.

It is a great advantage if you have
these roses on your own place, for then

but an hour or so only need elapse from
the lifting till you have them potted and
watered. Now supposing you have them
in your own field, or you have to pur-
chase them, do not be in a hurry to lift
them. Ten degrees of frost will do them
good; it will ripen the wood and denude
them of leaves, which would have to be
pulled off in any event, the same way
that nurserymen scrape off the leaves of
all deciduous shrubs and trees when lift-
ing them in the fall. Save all the roots
you can when digging; with the Ram-
blers you do no pruning at lifting; with
H. P. 's you can eut off one-third of the
growth, which simply makes them more
convenient to handle.

Pot firmly just as soon as you possi-
bly can. and immediately give them a
thorough watering. In a few hours the
soil in the pots will have become dry
enough to be firm and not fall out when
the pots are laid on the side. The next
thing to do is to choose a level, dry spot
convenient to the houses and lay the
plants down, putting the pots as close
together as you can, with the tops of the
plants of one row lying over the pots
of the others; sort of shingle them. Make
the beds of convenient size, say five feet ;
that would hold nine or ten 6-inch pots
lying side by side. Then throw on four
or five inches of soil, either dug from
the side of the bed or any old, light soil
you have on hand. The next thing to do
is to get the hose and very judiciously
give the soil that covers the roses enough
water to about soak through and reach
the stems, but no more. If any shrivel-
ing of the canes has taken place this
will restore them and they keep in this
way far better than in any frame or cool
house or cellar that was ever used for
the purpose.

They will come out in January or what-
ever time you want to start them, with
plump eyes and stems. You might, if
the weather in December gets very severe,
cover the ^oil with a few inches of leaves

or hay, or any such material that is most
readily at hand. Frost that would pene-
trate through the soil would not hurt
them at all, but they might be frozen in
a tight mass just when you wanted to
bring them in, and then it would cause
you trouble, as well as the roses.

I meant to say a little curlier in these
notes that lifting them when the wood is
green is a great mistake, for then it must
ripen prematurely. If the wood is green
and any way soft leave them out till end
of November. When the wood shows
ripeness and the leaves are falling is the
time to dig. William Scott.

NEW YORK.

The Market.

These are strenuous days in Gotham,
with a hot municipal campaign, and
Dowie seeking to reform the town, but
this has no energizing effect upon the
flower business, which, after all, is the
one thing needful, nor will there »«« any
appreciable revival until the killing
frosts have stopped the flood of outdoor
bloom. The theater openings occur
weekly and absorb a goodly quantity of
flowers, and the football enthusiasts make
their existence evident by the creation
of a demand for violets and chrysanthe-
mums far beyond the ordinary. Never

were 'mums at so low an ebb in price
so early in the season, and never was the
supply so much in advance of the de-
mand. Society celebrates again next
week at the dog show, and the v-eek fol-
lowing the equine exhibition, then comes
the greatest 'mum show of the season,
and by that time we hope Wall street
will wake up, and rise, and everybody
will be prosperous again and the florist
will have his share of the general good
times, which are so close at hand.

Various Notes.

In addition to the horticultural exhi-
bitions mentioned in my last, the Suffolk
County Association holds its annual show
this week, at Bay Shore, L. I. The floor
space for the New York show is 70,000
square feet and an attendance of 100,000
visitors is expected.

The new Breitmeyer rose displayed its
beauty and asserted its right to recogni-
tion in the window of Charles Thorley
for several days last week, and on Satur-
day after a week's cutting, and exposure
to heal and air, they still retained their
beauty and fragrance and attracted much
admiration from the passing throng. It
is certainly a rose that has come to stay.
It will be shown at all the fall exhibi-
tions. Fred Breitmeyer accompanied
his rose to New York, and upheld his
trenuosity while in the

Small & Sons had big weddings last
week, at Flushing and Brooklyn. Their
windows were very attractive with elec-
tric lights, vandas, cattleyas, dendro-
biums, cypripediums, with oak leaves and
erotons, while red dahlias, Roosevelt car-
nations and Farleyense made one window
especially beautiful.

Fleisehman had an immense Anna Fos-
ter trimmed with wide mauve ribbon, as
a center the other day, with huge vases
of dollar-a piece 'mums in the fore-
ground that brought even blase prome-
naders to a halt, while at Thorley's
'mums of the Twombly grade of bloom,
and Breitmeyer roses with Farleyense
were enough to attrai I constant lovers of
the artistie.

Mackintosh's new electric did duty last
Saturday for the first time. It is an
illuminator, sure enough. He had a big
politieal wedding last week, when the
daughter of Barney Biglin made her
venture into the sea of matrimony at
the Earlington hotel. White 'mums and
roses, curtains of smilax and autumn
leaves made up the decoration.

The sale of the large plants from the
Biltmoro Estate was continued at Elli-

tendance of prominent retailers absorbed

the balance of 1

MILWAUKEE.

The Market.

Trade the past week was rather un-
steady. Shipping business was light, per-
haps due to most of the country buyers
having a good supply of 'mums on hand.
Carnations sold well but it was difficult
to keep roses moving at respectable fig-
ures. There are plenty 'mums iu the
market to meet all demands and prices
seem to be a shade below former sea-
sons. The increased local supply in near-
ly all lines is now being felt in this mar-
ket and there is almost enough home-
grown stock to meet all ordinary require-
ments. Violets are coming in more freely
and quality is improving.

Notes.

Mr. Zweifel is cutting some very tine
Enchantress carnations which bring top-
notch prices.

Mrs. Ennis has opened a flower depart-
ment at the Boston store and reports
good trade.

Aug. Kellner is about completing two
houses to be used for decorative stock.
Mr. Kellner is making a specialty of dec-
orating and had several big jobs the
past week.

The coal situation is far different from
this time last season. Coal is now being
offered at reasonable figures and most of
the yards are completely filled up. It
was reported that several vessels char-
tered for this port were consigned to
other ports the past month, owing to the
crowded condition of the coal yards and
also the danger of fire, which occurred
in some of the yards, in the immense
piles of soft coal.

The C. C. Pollworth Co. took in a car-
load of azaleas the past week and also
made several large shipments of palms
to Pacific coast points. Incog.

The Market.

The business done in cut flowers is.
not in a satisfactory condition to any
but chrysanthemum growers. There are
entirely too many flowers coming info-
town to be used to advantage. Ivory,
Mrs. Henry Robinson and Timothy
Eaton have been added to the list of
white chrysanthemums. The last named
variety is verj fine, and has brought the
highest price so far obtained, although
the number received is small. The cold-
nights have injured all outdoor stock
excepting cosmos, which is still very
plentiful. The dahlia wound up its sea-
son with a rush, S. S. Pennock filling an,
order for 6,000 of these flower3 one
evening this week. There have been some
\.i\ large orders this week, consuming
great quantities of stock.

The Home of Liberty.

Just think of 12,000 Liberties all on

place, three-quarters of them under

one roof, or, rather, within t lie bounds
of four walls! Such a thing was un-
known here till this season, when A.
Farenwald erected his new range of
eight houses on the Dietseh pattern, with
short roof bars and no partitions. His
Liberties are a beautiful sight, full of
vigor, with quantities of buds giving
promise of fine crops this season. No
stakes are used, the plants being of erect
habit. Both young and carried-over
stock are grown in ground beds chiefly,
although some are in benches. The re-
sources of the place were taxed to pro-
duce enough stock to fill the new range,
a couple of thousand were purchased,
all that several growers could furnish,
but half the last section was planted
with Beauties. Four of the six older
houses are also planted with Beauties,
making about (5,500 plants of this va-
riety. Two of the houses filled with
carried-over stock show remarkable
vigor, the plants being seven or eight
feet high and very bushy after three
months ' growth. There is every reason
to expect a large preponderance of spe-
cials from of these houses, which was

just coining in. Unfortunately, time did
not permit of a visit to Edward Towill's
place, near by. Mr. Towill is also a
Liberty Beauty specialist, and has added
considerable glass this season. His
plants are said to be in fine shape.
Notes.

Joseph Heacock has just completed a
violet house. llxiiO feet, for his daugh-

for Tuesday, November 3, at 1 p. m., at
the Market to decide, first, whether the
beginning of the fiscal year shall be
changed from October 1 to July 1; sec-

stock is necessary to carry each amend-
ment.

Bowling.

The following is an account of the
deciding game between the Growers and
Dealers, furnished by Walter N. Yates:

The Dealers win the deciding contest.
The other contests between the Dealers
and Growers were close and exciting, but
the deciding match was heartrending — to
the Growers. As in the second contest,
the Growers won the first two games
with a good margin and were in the
lead an even 100 pins when the third
game started. This lead was held until
the beginning of the eighth frame, when
the calamity occurred. When the wreck
was cleared away the Dealers were two
pins ahead, thus winning the final and
deciding match by making up over 100
pins in the last three frames. Bather
exciting? Well, just ask the boys ! The

ST. LOUIS.

The Market.

Business conditions were somewhat
better the past week, owing largely to
several important weddings'. An in-
creased demand for funeral work was
also noted, but trade in cut flowers is
slow in opening up. The weather con-
tinues warm during the day, with coo]
nights. The wholesale market is still
stocked with plenty of everything. The
cut of chrysanthemums is increasing and
the blooms are of fair quality. Cooler
weather is wanted to improve the 'mum
market. As to quality, some good Yel-
low Queen and Col. Appleton sold at $3
per dozen. Glory of Pacific and Berg-
mann are not selling so well. Other
varieties are slow in making their ap-
pearance. Mrs. Robinson and Ivory are
promised for this week.

American Beauties are in good de-
mand and are pretty well cleaned up
every day ; $3 per dozen is the top price
for the fancies, which are still limited,
but there seems to be plenty of the other
grades, which sell according to length of
stem. In smaller roses Brides and
Bridesmaids are over-plentiful, but very

few are what can be called fancy stock.
These sell at $2.50 in hundred lots. A
few choice Meteors and Carnots bring
$6 per 100. Perles, Golden Gates and
Ivory bring $4 and $5 for the best and
cheaper in big lots. The rose market,
of course, is suffering from the increas-
ing supply of chrysanthemums. Fancy
stock in carnations is very short at the
present time and the top price is $2 per
100. Of the good common stock there is
enough for the demand. This stock is
good in flower, but very short in stem;

$1 to $1.50 is what these bring. G 1

Daybreak is scarce and very much wanted.
Violets are selling at from 25 to 35
cents in small lots. They are looking
very much better and are coming with
very fine, long stems and good color. The
demand is good a1 the retail stores. Lily
of the valley has met with good sales
the past Meek, owing to many weddings;
$4 and $5 per 100 is asked for the best
and $3 for some poor stuff. Cosmos is
about over, as is all other outdoor stock.
Romans and Paper Whites' are expected
soon; in fact, a few are in now. Callas,
too, are beginning to show up.

Various Notes.

August Selniermnn, of the Schuerman
Floral Co., will begin this week decorat-
ing the large coliseum in the Exposition
building, for the horse show which opens
next week. The decorations, Mr. Schuer-
man says, will be handsomer than ever
and on a much larger scale.

Will Adels has left the employ of Mrs.
M. M. Ayers and reports that he will
open a place of his own at Salisbury and
Blair avenue, North St. Louis.

George Ostertag, who is with his sis-
ter Mary, on Grand avenue, reports a
1 msy week, with party work. A ' ' violet
partv, " which used up some 500 bunches
of violets, was a big affair.

Mrs. Newman, at (due street and
Spring avenue, makes a line show in her
large window, with a choice lot of
cut flowers and plants. Miss Armstrong,
who is with Mrs. Newman, reports busi-
ness very satisfactory.

The Reissen Floral Co. reports a great
deal of funeral work the past week, with
several largo weddings booked for next
month.

Henry Lohrens, of the Park Floral
Co., received last week a big lot of palms
from Joseph Heaeoek. They came in
good condition and Henry says trade has
opened up nicely on them.

Miss Bosa Arata reports that business
in her section is very good. Miss Rosa
keeps a choice lot of cut flowers and
plants in her place at Lafayette and
Jefferson avenues.

C. Young & Sons Co., on Olive street,
are kept very busy in their bulb depart-
ment, in which they have a big shipping
trade. James Arata. at this place, has
fully recovered from his sore hands,
caused by poisoning this summer, Jim
says, by handling balsams.

S. Silverstone, of the St. Louis Palm
& Floral Co.. says that trade is picking
up, with all kinds of work in both fresh
ami artificial flowers.

The Engelmann Botanical Club will

Current Comment.

You might pronounce business as fairly
good and promising to be considerably
better, and everybody is getting a share
of it. The last rose of summer has dis-
appeared and her lovely companions are
gone, so the salvia and dahlia and alas,
the cosmos said, " I '11 not leave you
alone, I'll go, too." When there is
nothing in the garden and fields but the
sear and yellow leaf, and little flakes of
snow find a resting place in your eye,
our 'mums and roses and carnations seem
to take on a much enhanced value, not
alone a money value, but they inspire ad-
miration, fondness, love and perhaps
veneration, and now we are in it again
for the next seven months or until the
"Daffe down dille" unfolds her golden
petals in the spring. The above is rather
an attenuated way of saying that we
have had a killing frost.

Joseph H. Rebstoek has had a few
fasliionableweddingsof late and Joseph's
recently fractured leg is so far pro-
gressed toward its normal condition that
he was able to boss the job. That most
enterprising and energetic young lady,
Miss Rachel Rebstoek, has also had some
huge decorations. Rachel is a hustler, if
it's gallanl to apply such a phrase to a
member of that slight majority of the
world's population, which makes it worth
while for the other slight minority to ex-
ist at all.

Byrne & Slattery are busy seeming
materia] for two aristocratic weddings
that come off the first days of next
month.

We went round the corner a few days
ago and found John Pickleman at home
in his fine store on West Chippewa street.
This is a much frequented street, the out-
let from the fashionable west side to our
Main street, where Mrs. Leathersole
drives down to do her shopping. John,
you have a fine store, and ought to thrive
immensely, which no doubt you will.

Mr. Arthur Beyer keeps up a most at-
tractive window at W. J. Palmer's up-
town store; never two days alike, best
kind of ••adv." Arthur was not edu-
cated "Not Yauak," but he gets there
i -nine. Mr. rainier sticks to the
old stand, where there is always a steady
flow of business.

There is hot rivalry between S. A. An-
derson and J. H. Rebstock over cyclamen.
A few plants are to be competed for and
the loser pays for a supper for the two
judges and the two principals. The bet-
ting is 11 to 8 in favor of Anderson, with
plenty of takers of the odds.

I had the pleasure to call very re-
cently on that really wonderful gardener,
Charlie Sandiford, at the J. J. Albright
place. It is only a miniature place in
size, but it is a little bower of beauty.
ia tt leva labiata a sheet of bloom, but
it was the 'mums we went to see, and
they are indeed well done. Many new

CUCUMBERS.

-1. i. table trouble is sometimes ex-
perienced in starting the seeds of cu-
. umbeis, especially during the short,
dull days, through their damping off
just after germination has taken place.
B careful planting the danger of this
trouble may be considerably lessened.
By a little si adj ... I hi seed it will be
seen that the embryo breaks through
the shell at the pointed or thin end. the
root being first emitted. When
seeds are carelessly sown the
little plant just after germina-
tion, is often so awkwardly
placed that it is unable to extricate
itself and succumbs in the attempt.
But if the seeds are planted so that the
ro.n and top are free to take their nat-
ural course without a n \ handicap, the
danger of their dying off is considera-
bly lessened.

A light, sandy compost should be

used. The s Is planted singly in small

pots, and the pots plunged in a bed
with a good bottom heat. The soil
should be kept moist, but not ..ver wet,
and the atmosphere kept rather close
until the seeds have started, but as
soon as they are well up, removal to
lighter and airier quarters wil] prevent
their becoming drawn. Shade from
strong sunlight will be beneficial for a
few days, until the plants gain strength

to enable them to stand without wilt-
ing. The temperature at which we
have found cucumbers to succeed best
is 65 degrees by night, with a rise of
15 degrees by day.

The most troublesome insect enemy is
red spider and frequent syringings are
necessary to keep this in check, but
care should bo taken not to use too
much force, as the foliage is soft and
. asilj lacerated. Both green and black
fly sometimes put in their appearance,
but if tobacco stems are kept around
and changed occasionally when they be-
gin to lose strength, there should not
be much trouble from this source.
Smoking should never be resorted to if
it can possible be avoided, as it is al-

-1 sure to result in damage to the

foliage. W. S. Croydon.

oighl and also during the following day.
One leaf only was developed with these
buds, which were on opposite sides of the
plant. This is a unique experience in my
cultivation of this glorious aquatic, ex-
tending now over many years. I have
] previously only seen one flower open, al-
though a strong bud has frequently been
above the water while it was in flower,
but this bud would not opi n for two days
after the open flower had withered. Cul-
tivators of the victoria will also know-
that with each flower a new leaf appears,
these young leaves having frequently to

LOOMIS, CAL.

A recent visit to the carnation grow-
ers here found them all very busy. Al.
Pendleton is completing 2,000 square
feet of glass. His carnation plants are
all grown for cuttings, as are those of
all Loomis florists. They are in fine
shape. A call at the Loomis Floral Co.,
S. D. Clap]), proprietor, found him put-
ting tip a cloth house of 2,000 square
feet for transplanting cuttings. He has
100,000 cuttings in the sand, some ready
for transplanting. They are all rooting
nicely and have that healthy green look
the grower likes to see. The next stop
was at the Knoll Nursery of Dr. Wheel-
er. Here there is a coach road 300 feet
long lined on each side with fine palms

The Market

Abundance of stock and very little
business was the general complaint the
last week. Eoses, and Beauties in par-
ticular, were a glut and a very large
in the poorer grades of stock was
the result. Carnations and chrysanthe-
mums were in better demand than the
weel previous. What is needed is goon.
weather to kill the outdoor stuff,
which is still very fine. The chrysan-
themum is her.- in large quantities. Rob-
inson, Henderson, October Sunshine.
I.ady Harriet and Ivory are the fancj

ii ties which, if good, sell at from $1
to $2.50 per dozen. The majority of the
stock sells at from $4 to $6 per 100.
Notes.

Mrs. !■:. A. Williams, at a recent wed-
ding decoration, used bay trees, autumn
leaves, wild smilax and chrysanthemums.
The effect was simply grand and quite
unique.

There is record of a recent sale of
3,000 pounds of cucumber seed at 75
cents spot cash.

Sixty girls employed in the picking
room of tin' Mtnlsi.n Seed Co., Manitowoc,
Wis., struck October 26 for higher wages.

A still hunt for sweet corn is still
being engaged in ; a cute hunt for cucum-
ber may also be mentioned, if it will

I... allowed.

Henry Ntjngesser & Co., New York,
report the red clover market very firm.
Ufalfa is scarce and steadily ad-
yam trig. Bromus inernis is also short.

With the pickle men anxious to buy
cucumber seed, and the .aimers looking
i.i sweet com, the seedsman who is not
satisfied with the outlook must be shy

If onions will go up to where they
should, ami cabbage keep on spoiling,
there may be a chance to make some
money without having till the sweet corn
and cucumber there is.

The "Western Seed and Irrigation Co.,
Frank T. Emerson, manager, expects to
be ready by November 15 to remove
from Waterloo to Fremont, Neb., where
:i mi, building is nearing completion.

There seems to be no great shortage
on anything in the line of seed staples

except sweet corn and cucumber s 1.

There is no oversupply of anything,
either, and from all accounts it looks as
though the Coming season will be one

of n mil good prices, and a general

steady demand as soon as the smaller
buyei ! are convinced that no gold bricks

Parmelee, of Sheboygan, is president,
having n capital stock of $50,000, of
which not more than $55,000 is repre-
sented in Wisconsin, has filed articles I"
operate in that state.

Advance price lists from the east ask
fair values fur ehuiee stocks. Wax lieaus
are u here the old-timers think they ought
to lie, and altogether wholesale price lists
seem to be more in accordance with a
fair margin of profit than they have been
for some time.

The market for clover seed is just be-
ginning to show its annual activity. Con-
tracl grade is now bringing $10.65 to
$10.75 per 100 lbs. at. Chicago. Experts
claim that the crop is going to be consid-
erably smaller than last year, though

some states — and Illinois is o if them

— report, a slightly larger yield.

Among the novelties offered this sea-
son by Vilmorin-Andrieux & Co., Paris,
France, is Cauliflower Incomparable, re-
sembling Autumn Giant, but earlier;
Three-Podded pea, resembling the well
known French pea, Clamart, largely
grown around Paris for canning pur-
poses, early, pods well filled and usually
produced in trebles; Globe Artichoke Per-
petual, so named because in the south of
France it affords heads nearly all the
year around, unusually early in any dis-
trict.

Philadelphia : — The demand for
beans from the south is anile heavy, with
a very light supply. Orders for some of
the most popular varieties have had to be
turned down on account of no stock.
Much inquiry is being made for cucumber
and tomato seed and some of the large
planters are already buying their stock
for spring's planting. This is evidently
a judicious move on their part. Just
what to do for vine seeds is a very per-
plexing question. Really good Colorado
grown Eocky Ford canteloupe seed is
not going to be so chean after all. Much
of the seed gathered from melons spoiled
for fruit by early frost has been found
to have sprouted in the fruit and the
subsequent cleansing process has removed
all traces of the sprout and the seed to
all appearances looks perfect, althougl
valueless for seed. This seed is beim"
offered by some sources as low as 10
cents per pound. A strictly reliable
grade is worth from 200 to 300 per
cent higher. All fields of large and late
maturing melons planted in the vicinity
of Philadelphia were a complete loss. A"
lines of bulbs are moving very rapidly
and it looks as though stocks will be
well cleaned up before the end of the sea-

SAN FRANCISCO.

The Market,

We have the American Association of
Bankers with us this week and there has
been quite a demand for decorative stuff
in consequence. The reception bv the
California state Board of Tr:
Tuesday was a very elaborate affair and
quantity of flowers was used. Bus-
- i i .- fair, i onsidi ring the abund-
ani e of flowers. There have been a good-
ly number of weddings during the past
week and a fair amount of funeral work
has added to the volume of trade. Mums
are in splendid shape and can be had at
almost any price. Bunches containing a
dozen large, perfect flowers nicely mixed
w-ith wild ferns can be bought on any of
the street corners for 10 cents. This is
rather demoralizing to the store trade
but stock is moving fairly well all around
and I do not hear many complaints. Car-
nations are plentiful as most of the grow-
ers are cutting from their new stock.
Many of the flowers, however, come into
the market with very weak stems. I am
inclined to think that a great many of
the young plants have been allowed to
run up and flower during the present
warm spell when it would have been bet-
ter had they been pinched back and only
allowed to bloom when the days and
nights become much cooler. The whole-
sale price of carnations has advanced
from 5 to 10 cents per dozen during the
last week. Eoses are still backward and
command very fair prices. Cosmos, gail-
lardias and marigolds are on the wane
and gladioli have entirely disappeared.
A'iolets are in fair supply but are weak
of stem and small of flower and it is im-
possible to keep them longer than a few
hours after they are picked.

Notes.

It is wonderful, when one stops to con-
sider, the inroads into our pet calling
made by the Japanese gardeners. The
Chinaman have been content to grow put-
side stock exclusively, but the Japs are
devoting themselves to greenhouse work
almost exclusively. One of the largest
plants on this coast is owned by Domoto
Bros., at Fruitvale and Fitchburg. They
have in all about twenty houses devoted
to palms, ferns, 'mums, carnations and
roses. In Elmhurst and Fruitvale an-
other Japanese firm has ten hou
voted to rarnations and 'mums. At
Berkeley two firms have about ten houses
and all of these have been started in the
last few years. The Japs have not as
yet turned their attention 'to roses to
any great extent but we expect to see
them interested in this branch of the
business in another year or two. G.

Jx his work mii "The Colors of Flow-
ers, ' ' Charles Grant Allen says that all
flowers, it would seem, were in their
earliest form yellow ; then some of them
became white; after that, a few of them
grew to be red or purple; and finally. ;i
comparatively small number acquired
various shades of lilac, mauve, violet, or
blue. As a general rule the least devel-
oped flowers are yellow or white; those
which have undergone a little more modi-
fication are usually pink or red; and
those which have been most highly spe-
cialized of any are usually purple, lilac,
or blue. Absolute deep ultramarine
probably marks the highest level of al

INDIANAPOLIS, IND.

Show Preparations.

A trip around to the different growers
shows up some very fine stock, and it
looks as though the standard in the vari-
ous lines is going to be high this season.
Of course just at present the main topic
is the 'mum show, and never before was
the interest so strong as this year; There
will be some good stock from the local
growers to divide the premiums with
those from other cities and states. Mr.
Bertermann is anxious to receive, espe-
cially, the entries in the larger classes
as early as possible, so he can arrange to
make room for all before anything is un-
packed. He is anxious to avoid as much
as possible the customary confusion on
tin- day id' staging, as he will have his
hands full enough anyway. Through an
error elass 13 in section 3 was changed
in the final premium list, and it should
read 25 single-stem plants, any other
color, one variety. There is also an extra
rlass added for'not less than .300 double
violets, for which is offered a first of $7
and a second of $o. The newspapers are
lending a willing hand in getting up en-
thusiasm among the people. Last Satur-
day there was a half page in the News
devoted t . ■ the Smith & Young green-
houses and their great success with vio-
lets. The Saturday before it gave Mrs.
Vesey and Mr. Hasselman each a half
page. In fact, everybody seems to be
helping and everything is being done to
make this show the best we have ever
had.

With the Growers.

.- in fin.- shape at the time of my
\isit. X. Piersoni is here in specimens
as well is ii mall Lzes. Their 'mums
are fine this year. A house of poinset-

tias is in fine shapi ,

was added this summer, and a new boiler.
At A. Wiegand & Son's everything is
hustle and bustle, with dccrntiMiis for
one thing or another. Their houses are
filled with a fine lot of stuck of all kinds,

i-pi-,-iall\ palm- and -] io- iim -n I'll Ms. A

fine new house was built in place of a
pit, which gives them much more room.

John Han je has decidi d to disseminate
his fine white carnation Moonlight this
spring. This is a fine sort and ought
to have a good sale. His place looks
good all through.

E. A. Nelson was a little late in get-
ting planted up, but the plant- are tak-
ing hold nicely and a good crop will soon
be on. He has been busy fighting mil-
dew on his roses lately, but says he has
it down now. He has an improved Nel-
son which he thinks is a comer.

A. Palmil raises bouquets by the thou-
sand; I mean stuff to make bouquets
out of. Being right at the cemetery en-
trance, on bright days it keeps him busy.

Baur & Smith's carnations are in fine
shape, as usual. Their Indianapolis is
proving up to all their claims for it, and

it is having a g 1 sale. They expect to

show it exti-tisi\i-h this winter. Their
'mums are fine; some grand Appleton are
just opening up and Eaton promises to
show some great blooms. They have a
big lot of cyclamens and all in good
shape.

I understand there is some fine stock
over on the south side and I hope to visit
those parts soon. J. Heidenreich and
E. Huckriede & Son are said to have
some fine specimen chrysanthemum
plants. A. B.

NEW BEDFORD, MASS.

We are all looking for a good frost to
take tin- outdoor stock out of the way
and make business what it should be.
There is considerable funeral work, and
a wedding now and then, but other
trade is very poor. Cut flowers of all
kinds are very plentiful.

B. H. Woodhouse has been giving an
exhibition of chrysanthemums in an up-
town store.

The October meeting of the Florists'
('lull was ln-lil at tin- greenhouses of B.
B. Nofftz, and Mrs. Nofftz served a Her-
man lunch that was much appreciated.
Mr. Nofftz gave a very interesting ac-
i-inint nf the things he saw on his trip
abroad this summer, but some of the
boys were a little incredulous about the
fiea stories. The next meeting will be
with W. L. (d. Brown, November 12, so
chalk tin- date down and don't forge! to
be there.

S. J. Donaghy has the sympathy of
the trade in the loss of his son, James,
who was a great help to his father, tak-
ing almost the entire charge of the green-
houses.

Otto Sucher. formerly with ft. H.
Woodhouse, has taken charge of S. S.
Peckham's Fairhavei greenhouses.

E. H. Chanil.erlin and wife spent a few
days last week in New York.

John Kelley, of Geo. A. Sutherland,
Boston, and A. Elleny Briggs. of Digh-
ton, were recent visitors. C.

Asheville, X. C. — The Auditorium,

a small chrysanthemum exhibit will be

was the surest index to the metropolitan

flowers and plants is on a steady increase,
the public demanding high-class flowers

Ziue Points are the best I ever used. They are
easily driven and withdrawn and are stiff. Being
straight on one side they can be driven accurate-

small. I have some in use four years and they
are still in their place us good as new.

The Market.

Business continues much the sani. a -
last week. There is a good supply of
stock, but the wholesale houses are usu-
ally sold out by noon. Funeral work has
used large quantities of short-stemmed
flowers. "There was a killing frost on
Friday niolit. and the effect is felt in
tho upward tend. 'ii. ■> of prices. There is

by B. P. Critchell sell at sight. Good
pink and yellow are still scarce, and it
will be a week before the demand will
be supplied. Medium and small 'mums
also find ready buyers.

Boses are not quite so abundant, and
they are selling at higher figures. The
best stock in Brides. Maids, Gates, etc,
brings $6. Brides, if anything, are hard-
ly equal to the demand, lull short-
stemmed Maids are in oversupply. Lib-
erty, Meteor and Beauties are scarce.
Carnations are much the same as last
week, but they are keeping much better.
Violets are doing better this year than
usual. Good stock now brings 75 cents
per 100, with Princess of Wales at $1.
Some very good smilas is to be had, but
Sprengeri is scarce.

Notes.

The first exhibition of the Cincinnati
Florists ' Society will be held in the club

DREER'S

Peerless Glazing Point

flmproved Van Reyper Terfect) ^^
has common sense features of practical value that appeal to prac-
tical florists and are possessed by no other point. The only double point with

BOTH BEVELS ON SAME SIDE.

A point made on any other principle will twist in driving and cramp or
crack the glass. Dreer's Peerless Glazing Points will never work out. Drives
true and holds firmly by one blow of hammer or chisel. May be easily re-
moved and used again in case of re-glazing. 100c sufficient for 500 lights.
Box of 1000 points 75c, postpaid. 5000 points by express for $2.75.

DRAPERY STUDIES.

II Climbing.

■apery should be more usei

many examples of this
ijority of vines aspire
to elimb. Their methods and habits
form interesting studies for the subject
in hand. How a Virginia creeper begins
the ascent of a tree trunk can be seen
without, two eyes. It sends some long
shoots nearly straight up, others circle
around, and still others steer a midway
course, somewhat like the sketch repro-
duced herewith. How like a tree trunk
a pillar is! How like the creeper on
the tree is our garland on the pillar!

For a variety in this style of drapery
study the climbing habits of clematis,
wistaria, madeira and other vines, com-
iimn or uncommon, the more the better.
Distinguish between the contours formed
by the general outlines of the plants.
A knowledge of as many different forms
of plant life as possible should be ac-
quired, and a little sketch book kept
for rough drafts. By this means of ob-
servation and recording different types
of natural form will be impressed on
the mind for future use as occasion re-
quires. Here and there they will fit
into nooks and comers, panels, arches,
etc., astonishingly easily.

Greenhouse smilax, as it is ordinarily
cultivated, has no character as a climber.
Therefore it is virgin material in our
hands, and will be most commonly used
in this series for illustrations.

A panel of smilax nearly soli. I can be

made like a clematis vii r like a brick.

according to the admixture of "grey
matter'' or its absence. After laying
in the solid part, gel some sprays sepa-
rated from the main body, run them out
in different directions, loosen a tew from
the top, and let the whole plan begin
to smack of the clematis flavor! It will
if it has half a chance.

A wistaria when trained on a flat sur-
face spreads tar out at the top, tree
like. Try this scheme for a wall piece,
and if there are pictures or window
frames, or doors within reach, extend the
upper sprays loosely and gracefully over
them and down a short distance. A
Crimson Eambler will present a similar
outline except that its sprays extend
more generally upward than outward.

As practiced by experts ventilation
consists of gradually raising the venti-

Thus, if the thermometer shows at 7:30

degrees and indicating s tendencv to rise,
the ventilators should be- raised just so

It would seem more
for which th

played in arranging these bunches for
packing. As the item of expense must

this way. but I would put no more than
twenty-five in a bunch and proceed as
follows :

Eemove the foliage for a distance of
about four inches from the end of the
stems : i ... mi ii- .'t' raffia an inch or so
from the base of the bunch; tie moder-

to be spread out in a fan-shape when

SALT FOR CARNATIONS.

In Mr. Baur's nob - in the Review of

'i.i. .li. i Shesays: " Spraying the plants

overhead with salt water will help to
stiffen the stems a little." The writer
remembers when he was a boy his father
sowed salt ..n wheat in the spring to
stiffen the straw and prevent it falling
before ripening, when on strong land.

Acting mi this principle, I have found it
has the same effect on carnations. It not
only stiffens the stems, but as it makes
the grains of wheat larger and more
plump, so it improves the quality and

"l"i "i the carnation bloom.
I ii-e a good handful of salt to two
rows across a five-foot bench and water
it in well, and repeat the dose in three
or four weeks. \ii.t a few days you
will notice the plants taking on that
beautiful blue color we all so much de-
light to see. These two doses I have
found to be sufficient until the weather
gets bright again, toward spring, when
the operation can be repeated.

Our s,.i] i- g limestone, as we are in the
blue gi iss region, and while it acts finely
here, it might not produce the same re-
sults in .liii.i, nt soil, so it might be well
to experiment a little before using much
salt. I hope Mr. Baur will try the salt,
and some time during the winter, or as
soon as he can, give the trade the bene-
fit of his experiment. I always delight
to lead his notes in the Review because
they are so full of that best *of ingredi-
ents, common sense. S. M. Hakbison.

C. S. A. ANNUAL MEETING.

Unless all signs tail, the exhibition of
the Chrysanthemum Society of America
and the American Institute, at New York
next Week. Xo\ ember 10 to 12, will be
all that its promoters have striven to
make it, the greatest t.-ast of chrysanthe-
mums we have ever seen. The Herald
Square Exhibition Hall is certainly the
largest and best lighted hall in New
York to-day. rhere is abundant space to
displaj .ill the exhibits that may be
brought, and undei perfect daylight their
merits can be seen to the best advantage,
and true color values appreciated. It
rests now with those who have the ma-
terial to bring it to the show. Intending
exhibitors who have not already done so
will help the management materially by
at once sending their entries to Dr. F.
M. Hexamer, 52 Lafayette place, New-
York City. The regulations call for ex-
hibits to 'bo in position by noon of Tues-
day, November Id, and judging will be
commenced at 1 p. m. It is the intention
t.i adhere strictly to these regulations,
so that all judging may be completed and
the awards made when the show opens to
the general public at 3 p. m. Thorough-
ly competent judges have been selected
by the executive committee of the C. S.
A. There will be nine judges, working
in groups of three, so there should be no
undue delay in rend, ring decisions, ex-
cept where unavoidable through closeness
of competition demanding prolonged,
careful deliberation.

A meeting of members ..t' the ' S \.
will be held on the second day of the
show, at 3 p. in. Any. me wishing to
join the society can do so previous to
this meeting by paying $1, and partici-
pate in the meeting. In addition to the
regular business, there will be an im-
portant lecture on the diseases of the
ehrvsantlieniuin. delivered by Professor
George E. Stom . ol the Batch Experi-
ment Station, Massachusetts Agricultural
College. This should be a fertile theme
for discussion, and cannot fail to be help-
ful to all growers.

The preparations for the X'ew York

THE TWOMBLY ESTATE.

The enormous 1,400-acre estate of II
M.l\. Twombly, at Madison, X. J., is
one of the triumphs of art over nature,
and infinite patience and toil and unlim-
ited wealth have made it a "garden of
the gods." What will yet be aecom-
plished under the able management of
Arthur Herrington, it would be no easy
thing to say. The possibilities are un-
limited, and the work already accom-
plished compares favorably with any of
the great landscape effects of America.
The grand view from the eminence on
which the palatial residence has been
.re, te I reminds one of Biltmore, and the
mountains alone are lacking to bring
vividly to ones memory the delightful ex-
perience at Asheville, while the artistic
effects and the perfection of detail are
far in advance of what has been accom-
plished there.

The great ranges of glass, conserva-
tories and commercial departments, are
the special domain of Mr. Herrington.

.1 few of the best ones in thesi notes.
We came to one promising variety after

to write down onlj a Ee\i of the best
the list grew until I had just forty names
down, running through every clear shade

that surely must make them sell, and
they don't burn, either. You will sec

no blooms. In the latter ease the bloom
buds appeared by January 1 and were

when imported. The narcissus family,
with this exception, is very much at

average single stems we used to get in

the advertiser states that the plants are
from 2 or 2%-inch pots, we naturally

think that these plants had I n potted

But this is not always the ease, and it
is not only that such fresh-potted plants
are always in poor condition to ship, but

I i packing is also done. Some will

give them a har.l soaking just before
packing, and squeeze the soil so hard it
is impossible to break the ball without
breaking all the ten. lei roots, so that
nothing is left but a rootless stick. Be-
sides, the purchaser has to pay a large
express bill for soil and water. Many oi
these plants are ordered to be used im-
mediately to till orders, and when in

but many were badlj mixed and abso-
lutely worthless to us. Notx if this man
had 'dealt fairly he could undoubtedly
nave sold to us all the geraniums he
could grow afterwards.

Another elass of plant dealers will,
when they receive an order and find that
their stock is hardly lit to send out, sim-
ply lav the order aside without acknowl
edgment and till it perhaps three or four
weeks afterwards. Sometimes such
stock is refused, and the c.d of it is a
great deal of kicking from both sides,
with the usua' "~

nish that both parties

have lost money. Now I do not wish it
understood that there are many who are
making these mistakes, for it is a fact
that the percentage is quite small, and
1 believe that we are fast improving, as
we had much less trouble last year than
ever before, but through a few gentle
Kicks we might take a hint and try to
i inj.i ..\ e still more.

The packing of plants is also of great
importance, for if the plants are packed

I rlv they generally arrive in such a

condition that a man can put one hand
,n bis la-art and i he ether on his pocket-
book and crv: "tih! Lordv Mercy! What
shall 1 do with tin profits.'" The Flor-
ists' Manual is a valuable reference book,
which not only gives one a good idea of
the culture of many plants, but it also
tells you, in very plain language, how
to pack them. Many plants can be
packed lying Hat with' perfect safety if
Laid in the proper way. but all foliage
plants, and those with large leaves, or
plants for immediate use, should be
packed upright. Seme firms pack nearly
everything upright, in boxes or crates,
which is far the better way, but the tops
Of the crates must be strong enough, so
that the expressman can safely put one
on top of the other, or else the express
charges will be something enormous.

Many firms, and especially the large
ones, are ver\ prompt to acknowledge the
order as soon as received, stating about
when the plants will be shipped, and then
send another notice when plants are
shipped. It is always proper to write at
once whether or not you can fill the
order, and it is certainly greatly ap-
preciated by the buyers, as they gener-
ally know 'then what they can depend
upon.

There are now so many different varie-
ties of 'mums on the market that it is
impossible to keep track of them all.
Sometimes it appears to me that it the
advertisers would state the color and
season that it would benefit them. For
carnations it could be done almost in the
same manner, as some varieties are bet-
ter at one time of the year that at other
times.

MONTEREY, CAL.
The accompanying engraving is from
a photograph of a portion of the grounds
of the Hotel del Monte, taken last win-
ter In the view are seen a few of the
ancient pines and oaks that form the
backbone of the landscape effects at this
famous place. When the grove was
cleared out it left most of the pines with
bare trunks, and this was most effeetive-
lv remedied bv covering the trunks with
English ivy, 'which is perfectly hardy
here and has made a prodigious growth.
Tim numerous vistas through the grove
of ivv chid trees, with a soft carpet of
s?reen grass below are really the most
attrnctho features' of the place.

These effects are supplemented by a
liberal use of palms, arancarias and many
conifers, not commonlv seen in the east.

,., side of the hotel is an immense

bed of giant fuchsias that fascinates the
eastern visitor. They are veritable trees.
Nearly all plants reach immense propor-
tions'here though cannas do not seem
to do so well as in the east. Probably
the cool nights account for this, for
while there are no severe frosts at any
time of the year-, the nights tire always
cool and frequently very chilly even in
midsummer. Geraniums are little seen,
but the pelargoniums are fine and make
a splendid display.

Thomas Lee is the gardener in charge.

Midwinter scene on the grounds of the Hotel del Monte, Monterey, Cal.

and in spite of the genial climate he
has his troubles. Borers and beetles have
attacked the old pines, and he must win
in his vigorous campaign against them
or lose the most important factor in the
landscape. Hydrocyanic acid gas is now
being used to kill one borer that works
almost wholly in the lower part of the
trunk. A canvas tent is fastened around
the trunk, made as tight as possible, and
the gas generated beneath it. This plan
seems to promise success with this par-
ticular borer, but there are others that
are more difficult to reach, in addition
to several scales that are very hard to
combat.

And the brown oxalis that was former-
ly used in the carpet bedding has be-
come a serious pest in the lawns. It
does not winterkill here and as the seeds
scatter widely when the pods burst and
it also spreads by runners, it is almost
impossible to eradicate when it has a
start.

Mr. Lee's department includes several
novel items for a gardener. In addition
to looking after the trees and plants he
is propagating frogs and terrapin for
the hotel table. The ponda where these
delicacies are produced are a very inter-
esting feature of the establishment.

There are quite a number of green-
houses for palms and similar decorative
plants, and for the production of cut
flowers, carnations being a leading fea-
ture in the last named. There is also
a house or so of roses. Few if any roses
are seen in the grounds, the soil not
being favorable to their growth, though
the rose does famously in the gardens
across the bay.

The famous Arizona garden, which
contains a remarkable collection of
cacti and other succulents, is very inter-
esting, but seems now to be less of an
attraction to visitors than in past years.

Carpet bedding is less employed* than

in the past, though some excellent ex-
amples are still seen in prominent posi-
tions.

There is a good sized nursery in
which trees and shrubs are being brought
on to carry out new planting or to re-
place specimens that have passed their
best.

A WESTERN GARDENER'S NOTES.

It has become quite the fashion for
eastern craftsmen to tell of what they
have seen in the west. As I recently had
the privilege of taking a trip through
the cast, and of seeing for myself some
of the beautiful places of which I have
read in the Review, perhaps a Brief
sketch of my travels may interest some
of your readers. I am gardener for
Harry (i. Selfridge, at whose country
home, Harrose, at Lake Geneva, Wis'.,
we have some 1,0,000 square feet of glass,
two large houses being devoted exclu-
sively to orchid culture. Mr. Selfridge
is an orchid enthusiast and has estab-
lished a valuable precedent for employers
in that he made this trip possible with-
out expense or loss of time to me. I
left Chicago October 2, going first to
Boston.

My first side trip was to Brookline,
"here, at the home of J. E. Rothwell, I
found probably the largest collection of
cypripediums in America. Mr. Rothwell
makes a specialty of cypripediums and
selenipediums, which are in a condition
to reflect great credit upon his gardener,
Mr. Johansson, former orchid grower at
Garfield park, Chicago.

The estate of the late H. H. Hunne-
well was next visited, and I shall not
soon forget the Italian garden, with one
of the finest collections of conifers that
it lias ever been my pleasure to see.
About one acre of ground is devoted to

rhododendrons, with an extra lattice
house over all and a small observation
tower under the lattice. Rhododendrons
are also planted in the open ground and
umst p resent a charming sight in flower-
ing season. There are twenty green-
'" which are grown fine stove and

hous

decorative plants, graj.es. tigs and
peaches. The orchids were fine, partic-
ularly Odontoghissum crispum and Mil-
toma vexillaria. We often hear it said
that it is impossible to grow .odonto-
glossums in this country, but the degree
of perfection reached at the Hunnewell
place convinces me that with proj.erlv
constructed houses and other right con-
ditions, the time is not far distant when
they can be grown here as well as
abroad. Their eattleyas also are in first
class condition, the result, the gardener
told me, of feeding with different kinds
Of liquid. My own experience with fed
orchids has not been altogether satisfac-
tory, as they flourish and win applause
for their grower for a year or two, then
perish. 1 should like to know the expe-
rience of others in this particular.

The cause of the action of anesthetics

PUBLICITY FOR NURSERYMEN.

The following is an extract from an
address by Frank B. White, delivered ln-
fore the American Association of Xur-
-serymen :

No man who has undertaken advertis-
ing, treated it with the same degree of
intelligence that lie would any other
branch of his business, utih/ed common-

Word of mouth or other announcement,
so we may as well settle one thing here
and now: When well done, advertising
pays.

The nursery business affords a most
excellent opportunity for attractive ad-
vertising, noi only newspaper ad vert isi'
but the auxiliary lines as well. You will
understand that while 1 advocate news-
paper advertising a- the hc-t known -oit
of publicity, it is not all thai is neces-
sary, by anj mean-. Without attractive
ami forceful literature, your newspaper
adverl ising u ould be a Hal failure.

The nursery business affords a most
excellent opportunity because it brings
us near the great heart of nature, and
the advertising should be as tun oral as

be tr

the

lh.it

w.

concern]

admire beauty, therefore, our advertis-
ing should be made beautiful. We ad-
mire sensible argument, a forceful p
sentation of the fact, a harmonious
whole, a composite of art, editorial abil-
ity and mechanical make-up that pleases
and satisfies the eye and lingers in the
mind as something worth remembering.
In your busine-s \ou ha\i> a eomhina-
tion of luxury and beauty. In the ad-
vertising business we should have a com-
bination of attractiveness and forceful-
ness, but all newspaper advertising can
do for you is to present you in a favor-
able light to a possible customer. The

the

that advertising should be

made not onlj as good as the other fel-
low's, but better. Catalogues should be
constructed with the idea of bettering

\ thing that has been sent out. Mai
them so good that it will hurt one to de-
stroy them, that they will find a place
m i lie pa H. i table and be kept as beau
tiful examples of the printer's art, pleas
ing to li hold, easy to read, convincing

and you have won the day, oi you have
beaten the other fellow' by so many
points that ii will be hard for him to
overtaki you.

Some entertain the belief that the
only way to sell nursery stock i- through
agents. I do not agree with them. Ad-
vertising i- your salesman, working
while you sleep; quiet, unobtrusive, readj
to wait until an opportune time comes
before it makes its argument ; offending
no one, but making friends everywhere it
goes, a thing that cannot be said of all
agents or salesmen. I know for an
-olute certainty that many concerns
have lost business because of the lack of
tact • t the agent on the road. If your
advertising i- well done, there will be no
danger from this source. I am not
ready to condemn the agency system, but
I maintain that it is a very expensive
luxury, and that it could be dispensed
with to the improvement of the nursery
business on the whole.

I am not familiar with the commission
allowed nursery agents, I presume that
it is in the neighborhood of 40 per cent.
Somebody has to pay the 40 per cent
Of course it i~ usually the fruit grower.
It is possible that the agents sell si,
000,000 worth of nursery stock a year.
They make $400,000, which may 1
termed an advertising expenditure, as it
i- charged to your sales account.

Is there a man who will tell me the
same expenditure in judicious newspaper,
catalogue and auxiliary advertising
would not do the nursery business and
the country at large more good than
would be possible through this agency
scheme? .

Some say the nursery business does
not permit of advertising to the same
extent as other commercial operations,
a- the season is limited and advertising
must principally be done during the
spring months. I would say in answer
to such an assertion that either lines of
trade are just as limited by seasons and
still are successfully advertised, and
many nurserymen have found it profit-
able and have made a success of it even
though the season is limited.

I quote from one nur-etyman who
wi-ely says: '-The only reason that we
can assign why so many nurserymen do
m t advertise is beeau-e there is a large
1 it eenl who are really only tre<

pective customers to i

dining us. This t- i
or periodical can do.

requisites of a business

papei

nnan

1 the

ssary

to interest the prospective buyer, hold
his attention, gain his confidence and
g.t his order. Our experience is that
newspaper advertising and catalogue
work are necessary adjuncts to success
in this business."

Another correspondent makes refer-
ence to the follow-up system and states

that he is not quite sure that it pays to
write many letters in answer to an in-
quiry. It is my opinion that it d
'fnc present method of producing imita-
tion typewritten letters is so perfect that
it enables one to fill in the name of an
inquirer so nearly like the real thing
I nal id many can detect it . but a genu
ine letter is always better. If 1 were in
the nursery business and should receive

in inquiry that cost -ay oil cents or

■tT in response to im advertisement, I
ui u|. I tx i ill NU to expend al least half
that -im. it necessary in getting a good
attra i i I logue in t he hand- i t my
correspondent, and in following up the
acquaintance made through the inquiry
until I had landed the order or discov-
ered the reason why I did not.

This following up of the inquiry is a
very necessary part of successful 'adver-
tising. When you receive an inquiry in
response to your advertising you should
make it your imperative duty to treat
that inquiry just as you would a new
friend. It costs something to gel
an introduction to that friend. It
is worth your while to pay a
little more for the privilege of doing
business with him. 1 would treat that
individual inquiry just as if there were
no others and as if the success of my
business depended upon making a sale
to that particular individual. The care-
ful following up of tnat new acquaint-
ance may lead to a business friendship
profitable not only in his ease but in
that of hi- friends and his friends'
friends, for advertising has wonderfully
expansive power.

Perhaps you will question my judg-
ment when I -ay to you thai I verily be-
lieve that this as-o.iation could wisely
expend an advertising appropriation
upon general publicity that would induce

I pie to us.- fruit more largely. If you

desire to sell your nursery stock you
must help create a demand for 'the
product of the fruit grower. An appro-
priation of $100,000 for annual expendi-
ture in adverti-ing. advocating the use
of fruit in the home as a health food,
would, in my judgment, make a demand
for nursery stock such as this country
has never dreamed of, and the question
of price would be secondary, the ques-
tion of quality uppermost. Your busi-
ness Or pl'ofe-'-ion Would be elevated to

a higher plane and instead of being re-
garded as a tree grower or a nursery
tanner, you would be recognized in the
commercial world as operator* of one of
the great industries of the country,
which, indeed, you are today although
but few appreciate it. You are all ready
for such a campaign. All that i- needed
is backbone and money. Advertising
will stiffen the backbone, return your
money, bring you peace and plenty and
the world will be the better for it. '

The Market.

There has I a lots of lit', in th< cut

flower market, most . neourugiug with so
mucb stuff about. This activity is trace
able in shipping orders to I lie i omp< I .

v. i he depai tment stori s and

to increased business at the stores. Hal
loween parties, All Saints' day, a few
November weddings, etc., etc. Chrysan
themums have been the chief factor, an I
the small and medium-sized blooms have
ite as well as the fancies; prices,
. specially on the tatter, have receded.

Roses n greatly overd as usual at

this season ; still, a great many are sold
at fair prices. Carnations are not so
plentiful, but are in fair demand. Vio
avi sold v. ell.

Quite a lot of cattleyas have i a i

keted, Pennock, Niessen and Dunn &
Co. .ill ha/v big them. I ) ps are coming
in slowly as yet. Valley is fine and sells
fairly well. Mignonette and sweet pea-
are to be had in small quantities; the
former is very g 1 for so early. As-
paragus has sold well.

This week society will manifest its re-
turn to civilization by the dog show.
Next week it is expected the great 'mum
show- will assert its drawing power amonc
the 100 and th. great horse show the fol-
lowing week will inaugurate the regular
demand for flowers that the retailers} have
been so patiently anticipating. And so,
as is always the case, the gloom will be
dissipated and the sun will shine for
wholesalers and retailers alike, and the
long period of dullness will speedily be
forgotten. Already the retail stores
give evidence of the coming revival. The
decorations in the windows of the lead-
ing florists are gorgeous, and the ohrv-
santhemums in abundance and beauty at

for lack of neatness and beauty in win-

A few of the finest 'mums touched 50
cents last week. Special Beauties, while

Various Notes.

Next Monday the New York Florists'

i 'lull will have President Breitmeyer as

well

the Ta
growe

Tuxedo rose growers to have a look at
it.

Everything moves swimmingly toward
the success of the great flower show in
New York, under the auspices of the
American Institute and the Chrysanthe-
mum Society of America, a W lerfully

diet

a gen

nine Burpnse to tin public and an ex-
hibit of flowers, as President Herrington
aptly puts it, "such as the world has
ne\er seen." The annual convention of
the society promises to I"- of special
value, and a large attendance of mem-
bers is assured. The New York Flor-
ists' Club is taking a hearty interest :

the success of tl xhibition and no small

credit is due its members for their na-

tient and persistent efforts in f a

years, out of which has developed the op-
portunity of the present year. I'm the

ily in the triumph that at last seems a
certainty.

Julius Roehrs, of Rutherford, N. J.,
will entertain horticultural visitors dol-
ing the last days of the 'mum show-. No-
vember 11 and 12, at his auction sale of

palms, orchids, etc. A great att lance

is anticipated. The stock grown by Mr.
Roehrs 1ms a national reputation.

The Manhattan Supply Co., oi S40
Elei en1 li avenui , has gold its business to
S. Jacobs & Suns. ,,f Brooklyn.

The New Jersey i ut Flower Co., of
37 West Thirty-eighth street, has sold its
business to the Kurzman-Dacre Co., which
will conduct a wholesale florist business
there.

John Weir celebrated his fifty-eighth
birthday last week. If he had called it
his thirty -eighth no one would have di-
puted him. He will still be buying flow
ers at 5 a. in. in 1950.

Bradshaw & Hartnian are adding hardy

stock t.i their plant di partn t. i lhas.

Milking also has about everything in the

plant line to offer.

E. L. Perkins is recuperating very
slowly from his serious illness.

Some grand artistic work was d

by the leading retailers last week in fu-
neral wreaths, one valued at $200, of
orchiils and violets, at Bowe's being ex-
ceptionally beautiful.

All the seedsmen, bulbmen and nurs-
erymen have had a grand season and all
are optimistic, and it is an inspiration
to talk with them. Tulips ami mixed
hyacinths are short and the genera] de
maud will leave no surplus when the sea-
son closes. Bulbs arc moving rapidly

since the cold snap of tl arly part of

last week and Elliott's auction draws its

sua! crowd of buyers Tuesdays and l-'ri-

ays.

The reference to gardenias and cattle-
yas last week should have read Young &
Nugent. Eeidel & Spieer are also hand-
ling a goodly quantity of these popu-
lar flowers, and a large stock of Aspara-
gus plnmosus daily.

Roses were a drug at ■ tunc last

week Twenty-ninth street, one lot

of 1,600 going at 60 cents a hundred and
\lrll.a carnations were so sleepy that
one lot nf 200 could not 1"- disposed of
at 25 cuts a hundred.

The plan of making up dollar boxes,
containing a dozen roses, halt' a dozen
'mums and the necessary dressing seems
to find favor on Broadway again, and
Helps materially in disposing of the over
flow.

Scalhni's new- store approaches comple-
tion and will be one of the best in the
city.

The white palace being built by Si. -
brecht & Son. on Fifth avenue, is ready
for the finishing touches, and should 1 e
completed in ample time for the Christ-
mas trade. It will be a revelation "o
many and its situation cannot well be
excelled.

The flower shows at Tarrytown, Mam-
son ami Tuxedo this week promise well,
and the managers are enthusiastic over

the prospect Of grand blooms and ide il
exhibition weather. .1. Austin- Shaw.

The Market.

The business for the month of Oc-
tober, according t.i some nf the leading
slur, ■in, -ii. was much better than they
expected, though mostly work for fu-
nerals and dec, nations. The counter
trade in cut flowers is still somewhat

slow and , -uiilei- weather is led to

stimulate that part of the business.
The horse show, which opens to-night,
for one week should help the nit flower
trad.- greatly, as a great many choice
blooms will be in demand, and a gnat
many orders for this occasion have al
ri-.-i , I \ been placed.

Chrysanthemums, nf course, are the
main flower just at present. They are
much in evidence throughout tin- nu
ami the flower stores an making pretty
decorations of them in their show win-
■ luw-s. Blooms of the first quality are
not over-plentiful, tin demand for these

is g 1 and $3 per dozen is asked Cor

the best. Fairly good home-grown stock
is pl,.„,,f„l. but this stock is moving

these had a bad effect mi the rose mar-
ket, which is at present very much over-
crowded with all kinds nf roses of g

quality. Brides and Maids are still

in the lead, as to quantity, ami g

stock can be bought at $3 and +4
per hundred. There is also a good sup-
ply of other roses, such as Meteor, Gold-
en Gate, I'ai-not, Perle and Sunrise.
American Beauties are -, lling better than
the smaller roses but the supply is equal
to the demand; $2.50 and $3.00 is the

price fur tancv ; ul In-i gi ,,<l,-- i nn trniu

member of the club to be provided with
tickets for distribution where they will
do the most good. The subjects show n
are to include roses, carnations, chrysan-

PITTSBURG.

The Market.

Local trade has improved slightly over
last week. Several large weddings helped
business eoBsiderably and did much to
use up the large surplus of chrysanthe-
mums which were so plentiful last week.
At this writing, .Mem. lay, November 2,
chrysanthemums are Letter sale and no
accumulations. Medium and the smaller
sized flowers are really hard to obtain.
The wholesalers report shipping business
steadily on the increase and say that the
demand for fancy carnations exceeds the
supply. In ruses this is just reversed;
fine stock is very plentiful and the minor
grades hard to move at respectable fig-
ures. Some good longiflorum lilies are
in the market which meet with only or-
di narj sa !• . Single and double \ tolets of
good quality are plentiful. Fine loner
stemmed sweet peas. Blanche Ferry, and
mignonette are among the novelties and
they are eagerly bought up. Smilax is
arriving in large quantities and selling
slowly. Valley and adiantum art mov-
ing out rapidly.

GARDENINGS"1*

LASS

Not long since, in London, there was

an exhibition consisting entirely of a
display of vegetables, mostly produced
private gardeners.

SOIL FOR VEGETABLES.
Suitable soil is oi the utmosl impor-
tance in the growing of anj crop, and

as those growing vegetables under glass

gether. h ts poor policy t,. handle tin-
soil when to., wet, but it is just as bad to

is drj and powdery; hence the fall is the
host time to catch the soil in the right
condition.

We make a compost for our vegetable
benches with just as much care as we

that it pays. We change the soil every
year in tin- raised benches and in the
solid beds remove a few inches of the
old surface soil and replace with Eresh

possible,

we choose, if
to enable the

moisture as

ure. The amount of manure must be
regulated according to the quality of
ii e soil, but as a general rule about one
load of manure to fur of soil will be
al t rich enough for ordinary pur-
poses. Manure from the covi barn is
preferable to that from the horse stable,
as it is less liable to generate fungus.
The heap should be allowed to remain
Lntacl until tie- end of the Eollowing
summer or within a week ot two of the
time it is intended to be used. Then it

should be turned at least 1 \\ ice and well
i hopped up, t" thoroughly mix the in-
gredients. For lei i u e, i anliflower and
such erops additioi - oi artificial ma-
nures »ill be unnecessary, but for
stronger feeders, like tomatoes and cu-
cumbers, the addition of bone meal will
be beneficial. This should be worked
into the soil at the first turning, which
had better be done about three weeks
before it is intended to be used, as the
bone will generate more nr less heat;
hence the necessity of allowing it time
to work oft' before the soil is used.

Teh Peat, Xorwalk. 0., is erecting a

building in Which to start a seed store.

.\ five per cent delivery on contract
orders seems to be the vogue in cucumber
seed.

The coming of the California growers
is being heralded. The advance guard
should reach the east within the month.

Inning already sailed, the field will lie

The sweet eom and cucumbei seed
growers are backward in pushing them
selves forward just now. Things have
not been coming their way recently.

"GIRLS wanted," is a seasonable
sign in front of the war. houses of the
bean and pea growers. With the mills
humming and the picking machines busy

,h |ivi i ies ot peas should be well under

els at '$1.46.

The question of raising cucumber seed
is getting to be serious. There is no like-
lihood that the pickle men will get more

ing therefrom, makes an increased de-
mand for the seed and lessens the oppor-
tunities to secure it. The regulars in
eucumber seed growing have failed to

meet the emergency, being in, better off

this fear than last. Every effort has un
questionably been put forth by them.
and it may be that they will accomplish
something the coming year; as it stands
at present, however, the trad.- is up
againsl a hard proposition.

Burpee & Co., in their advance whole-
sale price list, saj : "It is a most re-
markable coincidence that, owing to ex-
tremely unfavorable climatic conditions,
the shortages in seed crops the past sea-

and many melons have produced only
one-fourth of an average yield, as have
also late varieties of sweel < orn; early

varieties of sweel con have averaged
from 40 to 70 per cenl of a normal
crop. All first-early peas, except AJaskas,
are extremely short, -ev oral v a i ietiesaver
aging only half a crop, while many long-
l„idded late peas are almosl equally as
short. Wax bean- bid fair to rule as
high in price as last year, while of sei
era! green-podded bush beans there are
qoI ciough in sight to meet normal re-

quirements. Tomatoes and sweet | s

are also short, but not to such a distress
ing extent.

IMPORTANT EXPERIMENTS.

onion sets is being investigated at the
Illinois Agricultural College. Professor

l.luvd, ..f that institution, is working on
samples sent to him by S. P. Leonard, ot
Chicago. The outcome of the lnvcstlgn
tion is likely to be quite interesting and
of much value.

Up to the present many ideas have

been advanced and many tl ries given

as to causes for the onion disease men-
tioned, but nothing final as to cause and
nothing definite as to remedy has been
handed out. In connection with the ex-
periment on the bulbs, Professor Lloyd
has also, at the request of Mr. Leonard.
investigated the web like fungus that fro
quently appears when onion seed is being
tested' for germinating power. The seed
trade generally has held to the idea that

this fungus has affected the sprouting
strength of the seed, and, that it proba
bly contained the germ- that caused the
dry rot. Microscopic investigation by

the professor, however, shows that this
fungus does not affect the germination

Of lie- seed, nor has it anything to do
with a dry rot or other disease which
mav develop in a crop. It is o reliable
that a report of these interesting investi-
gations will appear in pamphlet form
when the findings are completed.

Enclosed is a check for another dollar

You buy

ribbons here, the ribbons
which are the RIGHT
RIBBONS for florists to
use, and you save more — you make more.

You save all between profits because you buy direct
from the mill. You make more, for you get perfect rib-
bons, perfect colors, and the same grades always.

Buying from supply houses and jobbers your ribbons
wilf vary, will be different weaves, and colors will not
always be the same. Has not this been your experience ?

PLANTS FOR TABLE USES.
A friend of nun,' on atei ed a com-
petition at a large show for s.\ table
plants. His plants were all first-class,

and he seemed certain of gi ag the

firsl prize, when, lo and behold, the
judges disqualified his .-xhil.il because
he hail included a fern a pretty, well
balanced plant ..I' Pteris cretica all...
iineata. in the regulation "i inch pot, says
:< writer in Hi.' Hardening World. Alter

that one feels inclined t.. ask the qnes

tiun, ' ' What is a table pla ill .' ' ' \\ I'M,

1 maintain that a table plant is a well-
balanced plant in a put of 5 inches or
less in diameter, whether a foliagi ot
flowering plant or fern.

We are all acquainted with the stereo
typed half-dozen table plants of our
shows, which invariably include an Ala-
lia Vciti-hii. Panilaims Veitchii, two
Crotons, ami generally two .lin.-a-nas;

they, however, are hard to beat as Pol:
age plants. The first named is a light
and graceful plant; tin- second, with
green ami u hit.- foliage, is an i.l.-al table
plant. Some of the draceenas an- very
useful, such as -Miss Glendinning, Mr.
Freake, Salmonea, Aurantiaea and
( o.l. li. -ana, which make Dice, well-bal-
anced plants. Tin- eroton, when well
grown to bring out the exquisite ...lor
tng, cannot be surpassed as a table
plant, tin- variety is so great ami the
coloring so rich anil telling. Among
the l.i-st. with narrow, graceful loaves,
may be mentioned (lol.len King (a Sit
perh variety), Golden Gem, Warrenii,
I'ict iii ata, Aigbnrth Gem, Her Ma. j. -sty,

Mrs. Dorman, Mrs. McLeod, Weisn

and Hawkeri.

A splendid table plant is Panax Vic-
toria-, with green and white leaves, mak-
ing a light and elegant plant. Panax
plumosa is a green variety, and makes
a well-balanced plant. Evodia elegans
is another neat green-leaved plant; As-
paragus plumosus nanus. Chirita aspa
ragoides, Maranta major. Maranta

hit. -a. and Cypexus alternifolius varie
gatus ar.- a few more suitable subjects
from the stove. Manj of the palms are

useful in their early stage, the best be

in- < s Wi-d.h-liaiia and plumosa, Kl'll-

tia Belmoreana and Forsteriana, and

some of the caryotas, especially soboli

fera.

Some of the berry-bearing plants are
very effective. Mention may I., made
of Ardisia erennlata, a scarlet-berried
plant which retains its berries all the
year around; Solanum erispum, a well-
known plant, and l.-ilicarpa purpurea,
with long, slendei branches laden with
small purple berries in mid-winter.
Among the hardier green-leaved plants
that do well in a cool greenhouse may
lie inentionc.l -\ralia Si.-liol.lii, lira

csena congests,, I1 Haageana, D. rubra,

I), austi-alis. ('arcs japoni.-a \ ariegata,
Eulalia japonica. Grevillea robusta and
Abutilon Savitzii, all making ni.-e.
evenly balanced plants. One objection
to ferns in. say. 5-inch pots is that they

are usually t lense for table work,

though, of course, there are exceptions,
and tin- varieties of the Pteris cretica,
I't.-ns iremula. Adinntum cuneatum, A.
c. grandiceps and A. c. gracillimum
make good shapely plants, and would
look well on n large table.

Where flowering plants are wauled
during the winter months for tablework
nothing can lie better than the winter
flowering begonias, winch .-an lie flow-
ered in almost any size ..f pot. Some
of the best are Gloire d.- Lorraine, the
white variety. Caledonia, Corallina and
Ideala. Acalypha hispida, Gardenia
radii a us. Euphorbia jacquiniasflora,
Poinsettia pulcherrima, with its bright
scarlet bracts, ericas in variety, Aphel-
an.lra aurantiaea. Boezlii, with a flower
spike much resembling a miniature

Lobelia cardinalis. l.ilanthe Veitchii,

Clerodendron fallax, and nutans, the

white variety, ami Cattleya Bowringeana.

For low-growing plants, for use in

saucers, which are of ten very useful and

effective, some of the sclagiuellas are
well adapted, such as S. apoda, S.

Kraussiana. and S. Kraussiana aurea.
Nertcra depressa, a delightful little
plant when covered with its Scarlet ber-
ries, and I'ani.-um \anegatum, as small
plants in thumb-pots, can be made) into
miniature groups on a huge table. The
ni.i-t suitable subjects for the purpose
are crotons. which will need to be kept
plunged in boxes well up to the light;
tops of well-colored colons, which root
very quickly; Asparagus plumosus and
A. Spieng.-ii seedlings, Pteris serrulata
and cretica, Adinntum cuneatum seed-
lings, I'anux Victoria-, draca-nas in va-
riety, and I'nla.lium argyrites ami I '.
ernbescens minus. When calanthes are
used they should be flanked with as-
paragus or Adiaiitum cuneatum to hi. li-
the bare stems, which combination pro-
duces :. charming effect as a centerpiece
in a silver bow I.

The Largest Florists' Supply House in America,

CHRISTMAS BELLS.

Last week we called your attention to NEW AND RARE BOHEMIAN VASES.

Many florists are profiting by our suggestion.

This week we want to tell you about our CHRISTMAS BELLS. They are not

the common, ordinary bells, but a superior article, combining the best material with perfect

workmanship. They will do you credit anywhere. We have them in five sizes and advise

you to order now and have them ready for next month. You will make no mistake by doing this.

ROCKFORD, ILL.

The exhibit of chrysanthemums at the
Buckbei greenhouse this afternoon, says
tli. star of October 31, will give the
|i.M|ilr (if Kiickt'i inl an opportunity to sit
one of the finest exhibits of those flow-
ers in the United States. The exhibition
is free and this afternoon from 1 to 5
o'clock the greenhouse will be open for

all who wish to look at the assort nt

of blooms before the selections are made
for the exhibit for the New York show.

The Buckbee 'mums last year pretty
nearly swept the deck at the big shows
and this year there is a better assort-
ment than ever. Xearly a carload will
be sent to Xew York and among them
will lie some new varieties that promise
well. One is called the Eockford and
was hybridized here. It scored 89 points
at the recent show in Chicago. It is a
handsome yellow, incurved bloom. An-
other new variety is the Mrs. H. W.
Buckbee that scored 91 points at the
same show. It is a white bloom of great
beauty.

The Buckbees have another new one, a
yellow blossom, which has not yet been
named and which looks like a winner.
It will be shown for the first time at the
New York show.

The Buckbee 'mums will be shown at
the exhibits at Fort Smith, Ark., and
.Toliet November 5 and at New York
and Indianapolis November 9. Viewed
by the experience of last season there
should be a large winning of premiums
on the blooms from the Forest City.

WANTS YOUR BUSINESS.

considerable number of buyers have found that with us they can
depend on getting the most satisfactory service in wholesale cut flowers,
but we would like to impress upon others the fact that we can serve them
also, and serve them well.

In seven years of business-like dealing we have gained and held the loyal
support of some of the very best growers for the Chicago market. We have large
supplies at all times, in all grades wanted.

Beauties, Fine Tea Roses, Carnations,

in fact everything seasonable. Plenty Violets.

Chrysanthemums Jl^SSSJlSS^ the
Best Cattleyas, Choicest Valley.

Adiantum and an unlimited supply of

Asparagus, Smilax and Sprengeri.

While it is business for every day that we seek, we want to call the atten-
tion of the trade to the fact that this is the place to look for anything out of the ordinary
requirements. We have, and always aim to have, besides the stock to be found in the
ordinary commission house, various seasonable specialties to be found nowhere but here.

We cater especially to the shipping trade, finding it to give a steadiness to
demand in times of large supply which compensates for the effort necessary to meet
requirements in time of scarcity. Our space is large, our facilities adequate to all needs
in the line of prompt service and the experience of our employes is a guarantee of care-
ful selection, packing and shipment.

Try our service for Thanksgiving.

THE EXHIBITIONS

NEW YORK.

The second annual exhibition of the
chrysanthemum Society of America,
held in co-operation with the American
Institute, is on this week in New York
city, held in the grandest room which
has ever been available for a flower
show. It is in the new Herald Square
hall, at the top of the Macy building,
Broadway, between Thirty-fourth and
Thirty-fifth streets, and the space of
over 70,000 square feet is well filled.

The doors were opened promptly at
the scheduled hour, and the management
was at once in receipt of congratula-
tions on the complete success of the ex-
hibition, for the general effect was ex-
eellentj the showing of high grade novel-
ties the grandest ever staged in this
country, and the early attendance most
gratifyingly large. All that was needed
from the opening hour was good weather
to insure a most pleasing outcome.

Probably the center of interest was
the contest for the silver cup offered
by the C. S. A. for the best ten blooms
of any variety. It brought out a won-
derful lot of flowers, but none was equal
to the new pink, Wm. Duekham, ex-
hibited by Mr. Duekham himself. The
F. E. Pierson silver cup for best twenty-
five blooms in twenty-five varieties "as
also won by Mr. Duekham, his set in-
cluding many of the new sorts, described
in recent chrysanthemum notes in the
Reyif.w. A. Herrington won the Pierson
cup for twelve blooms of twelve varie-
ties with many of the novelties in his
set. These two were the principal prize
winners, Mr. Herrington capturing four-
teen firsts and four seconds, Mr. Duck-
ham ten firsts and two seconds. F. T,'.
Pierson Co. was first on its new pink
'mum, Dr. Englehardt.

There were fine bush plants of chry-
santhemums from the Boston gardeners.
Lager & Hurrell make a very fine dis-
play of orchids. Pompon chrysanthe-
mums are shown by B. Vincent, Jr. &
Son, White Marsh, Md. .Julius Boehrs
staged a fine group of decorative plants.
John Lewis Childs showed crotons ami
plants. There are evergreens from Sie-
brecht & Son and box trees from Bob-
bink & Atkins.

A good showing of carnations
by such growers as C. H. Allen, J. J.
Hayden, L. H. Marquisee. J. X. May
and Peter Fisher. Violets came from
< J. T. Sehuneman. The rose exhibitors
were Mitchell, Xoc, McArthur, May,
Williams and Adams. Xew roses were
shown by John Breitmeyer 's Sons, J. X.
May and John Cook. H. T. Clinkaberry
shows cypripediumg. Mr. Wells, the
English chrysanthemum grower, sent an
exhibit of twenty novelties.

Among the best blooms shown, taking
the exhibits as a whole, are Wm. Duek-
ham, the grand pink; Eaton, white and
yellow; Col. Appleton in fine form and
F. A. Cobbold, one of the novelties.
Among the exhibitors from a distance
are E. G. Hill Co., Eichmond. Ind. ;
Xathan Smith &■ Son. Adrian. Mii-h.;
H. W. Buckbee, Eoekford, 111.: W. J.
& M. S. Vesey. Fort Wayne, Ind. The
trade visitors include all the principal
chrysanthemum growers in the country.

The judges were: Eugene Dailledouzi .
Prof. Nicholson, Edwin Lonsdale, Win.
Turner and Elmer D. Smith.

PHILADELPHIA.

Beautiful weather greeted the open-
ing of the great Philadelphia flower show
on Tuesday evening, drawing a large
crowd of flower lovers to Horticultural
Hall. They found a grand collection of
plants and cut blooms of ehrysanthi
mums that deserved careful examina-
tion. The larger sized chrysanthemum
plants were numerous. They were, as
a rule, rather stockier than usual, with
an abundance of well-formed flowers of
good substance and size. They nearly
filled the main hall, being grouped about
a Japanese temple, which was arranged
i uli arches and supported by columns,
a temple of chrysanthemums, ferns, au-
tumn leaves and red Japanese lanterns,
put together in William Graham 's best
style. Some fine specimens of Areca
lutescens were along the walls and at
one end two splendid erotons in tubs,
the broad-leaved Queen Victoria yield-
ing the blue ribbon to Superbus. \
specimen Ehapis flabelliformis in a big
tub was much admired. Near
another of Cyeas Siamensis, not often
seen. In ferns John H. Ley had his

dum in good form. Thomas Long has

Those large and gorgeous Australians

The show is very large, many foliage

do not detract from the beauty of the

we do not like to see varieties with good

hown in this way, there is no

doubt that for many varieties this method

is to be preferred. Among the older

varieties we notice Morel and it looms

up better than ever. A vase of this

variety shown by Mrs. Vesey carried off

tinually, while his other plants arc also
fine. The display of plants is also less
extensive than usual. The groups of
single stems are sadly lacking in num-
ber, quality high, however. J. Eartje
has some single-Stemmed plants that are
superb, good foliage and large liiooms.
E. Ilmkreide is also showing fine stock
in these classes.

II. W. Rieman is showing some fine

a nice pink 'mum.

during the past summer and with the

much credit for the arrangement of the
decorations and the displays.

The Smith & Young Co. is showing a
fine lot of violets and there is also a
fine lot from Swan Peterson, of Gibson
City, 111.

The weather is fine and the low rail-
road rates has brought many visitors to
the city and this show will certainly be
a financial success.

The fifth annual exhibition of the Tar-

the Music Hall, Tarrytown, N. Y., JS'ov-
ember 4 to 6 and was quite up to the
high standard of former years. The com-
petition in both plants and cut blooms
was keen and in many of the classes very
close. The only falling off was in bush
chrysanthemum plants and in a number
of groups of chrysanthemum plants. No

In the cut bloom classes the most no-'

Lord Salisbury, Mrs. Thirkell, Chas.
Longley, Durban's Pride, Millicent Rich-
ardson, Queen Alexandra, W. R. Church,
Mrs. G. Mileham and Yellow Eaton.

For the largest bloom in the show, two
Madam Carnot, one Lord Salisbury ami
one Mrs. Thirkell were put up, Lord Sal-
isbury winning out, the overhead meas-
urement being twenty-three inches. The
flower, though a little light in color, was
well finished and full centered.

Some of the older varieties prominent
ly shown were : J. R. Upton, T. Carring-
t.ui, .Mrs. Weeks, Col. D. Appleton, Kate
Broomhead, Merza, Golden Wedding and
Mutual Friend.

Among the commercial exhibitors were
F. R. Pierson Co., of Tarrytown, show-
ing Beauty roses and several promising
seedling chrysanthemums. Main & Fear,
of Gloversville, N. Y., showed a good
vase of assorted carnations, and John E.
Haines, of Bethlehem, Pa., showed a
number of seedling carnations of merit,
prominent among which was a clear yel-
low of good form and stem, named Star
of Bethlehem. In new carnations, the
most prominently shown were Gov. Wol-
eott, Harlowarden, Enchantress and
J. H. Manley, while in the old varieties
Mrs. Lawson and Prosperity were most
in evidence.

The eighth annual show of the Morris
County Gardeners' and Florists' Society
was held here on November 5 and 6 anil
proved to be the most successful yet held
by that society. The attendance on the
second day was gratifying and the qual-
ity and quantity of the exhibits left noth-
ing to be desired. In the chrysanthemum
•classes were seen many of the novelties
and some exceptionally fine varieties were
noted. In the class for thirty-six flowers,
six varieties, the two ancient rivals, Wil-
liam Duckham and Arthur Herrington,
put up a grand competition, the first
named scoring first, with splendid vases
of Mayaell, Ben Wells, Thirkell, P. 8.
Vallis, Mrs. G. Mileham and Mrs. Weeks.
The most conspicuous of Mr. Herring-
ton's lot were the Eatons, H. J. Jones
and Appleton.

For eighteen flowers, three varieties,
Peter Duff, gardener to J. Crosby Brown,
won an easy first with splendid flowers
of Merza, T. Carrington and Nellie Pock-
ett. Mr. Duff also got first for twelve
flowers in four varieties with A. Her-
rington second, and he also won first for
ten white, with Merza.

For ten yellow A. Herrington was first,
with Yellow Eaton, and also first for ten
Appleton and ten Eaton, all splendid
vases. Six flowers any variety first went
to W. F. Thomas and for ten flowers in
five varieties was captured by Peter Duff,
with Mr. Thomas second. Mr. Duff got
another first on six pink, with fine Bal-
four, O. Kock scoring second. Six white
was won by O. Kock, and six yellow by
C. H. Totty, with Lord Salisbury.

Six Appleton gave Peter Duff another
first, as did also six ' ' any other variety, ' '
W. H. Hand running second in each case.
Mr. Hand got first on the vase for effect,
with Geo. Bird second. In the class for
pompons conditions were reversed and
Geo. Bird got first, with Mr. Hand sec-
ond.

The competition in the rose classes was
worthy of the rose city, eight, nine and
ten exhibitors showing in each class, and
the quality was very fine. For eighteen
Beauties and twelve Beauties, L. A. Noe
was first and L. M. Noe was second in
each case.

For twentv-five Maids L. A. Noe was
first, L. M. Noe second, and Mrs. B. B.
Holmes third. For twenty-five Brides
L. A. Noe was first, Henry Hentz second,
and L. M. Noe third. For twelve Maids
Brant Bros., Utica, N. Y., were first, L.
A. Noe second, and Mrs. B. B. Holmes
third. For twelve Brides L. A. Noe was
first, C. G. Cook second and Brant Bros,
third.

One exhibitor, J. T. Wagner, of Chat-
ham, would have been easily first in sev-
eral classes, but owing to the fact that
he staged more flowers in each instance
than the schedule called for, he was dis-
qualified.

In carnations Wm. Duckham got first
with very fine vases of Enchantress, Mrs.
Bradt and Gov. Koosevelt. In violets
W. H. Thomas got first for the doubles
and Peter Duff for the singles.

For the groups of plants H. L. Hand
was first, W. H. Thomas second and S.
Herremans third.

For three specimen chrysanthemum
plants Peter Duff was first, with very
well finished pots of Balfour, Garza and
Molatsch. Mr. Duff was also first for
one specimen plant and for twelve 6-inch
pot plants.

The medals offered by Moore, Hentz &
Nash to the actual growers of the flow-
ers were won this year by Samuel Eed-
stone, foreman for William Duckham,
and Joseph Busicka, foreman for L. A.
Noe. This awarding medals to the ac-
tual growers of the flowers might well
be followed by other societies, offering,
as it does, an incentive to the grower to
do the best he knows how.

In the vegetable classes Messrs.
Coombes and Downing and Herremans
were conspicuous.

A certificate was awarded W. Duckham
for a stand of new mums, some of the
finest being W. Duckham, ( 'heltoni, Mary
Inglis, Maynell, Henry Barnes, Ben
Wells, F. A. Cobbold and Mildred Ware.
This is the first time any of these varie-
ties have been exhibited in the east
and enthusiasts hovered around them note-
book in hand, W. Duckham being a favor-
ite with everyone.

Certificates were awarded to John N.
May for Bride carnation and seedling
No. 45 chrysanthemum. Also to the
Breitmeyer rose, which was very well re-
ceived by the rose men generally.

Wm. Duckham was recognized for a
splendid plant of Ficus pandurata and
Aealypha Sanderiana, and A. Herrington
for a splendid plant of Caryota urens,
two Cocos plumosa (undoubtedly the two
finest plants in the country), and a
grand specimen of Pierson fern.

Mrs. B. B. Holmes set up a vase of
President Carnot rose that was really
splendid. As grown at that establishment
Carnot is a fine paying rose and Mr.
Gary, the foreman, can shake hands with
himself.

Lager & Hurrell were given a certifi-
cate for a table of orchids, among which
were Cypripedium iusigne Sanderse and
other rarities.

M. Tilden made a splendid exhibit of

Beauties and Dr. MeAlpin, of Morris-
town, showed Bridesmaid very well (lone.

John Haines, of Bethlehem, Pa., sent
a half dozen seedling carnations, Star of
Bethlehem being perhaps the best of the

also to F. B. Pierson for carnations Da-
heim and Mrs. M. A. Patten.

E. Jenkins and A. H. Wingett, or
Lenox, Mass., with William Turner, of
Oceanic, N. J., were the judges and then-
work showed careful and accurate judg-
ment.

Taken generally, the show was very
fine and in quality will hardly be equaled
in the country. B.

The second annual flower show, No-
vember 5 to 7, in point of exhibition
and attendance was a great success, and
financially there will be a little surplus
to go into the treasury. The principal
exhibitors were the Chicago Carnation
Company, the J. D. Thompson Carnation
Company, the E. G. Hill Company,
Nathan Smith & Son, H. W. Buckbe'e.
Joseph Labo, Carter, Johnson & Goran-
son, Colonel Lambert, George Kuhl,
Vaughn's greenhouses and George Witt -
bold Company. But there were many
others. We should also mention the
school exhibits, four of them, also the
Illinois State Penitentiary, William Tip-
lady, gardener, put up a fine group of
plants, not for competition.

Nathan Smith & Son captured first
prize for forty varieties of 'mums, with
the Hill company a close second and
Buckbee third. Gunnar Teilmann, of
Marion, Ind., was first on twelve white,
twelve pink and twelve yellow. In plants
Vnughan sent six and got more firsts
than Buckbee. The latter 's were well
grown, large flowered, bushy plants, but
not. large enough to compete against the
other plants, which were also well grown.
Kuhl was first on Piersoni and Boston
ferns.

The carnations were not very strong,
only the two local firms exhibiting.
There were only five classes open to them.
The Chicago Carnation Company was

could not compete with the newer varie-
ties. .

On crimson George Hale was first with

Geo. Hale was second in this class. There
was- a great deal of interest among the
exhibitors as to which of the two gentle-
men above would get first prize in this
,lass. and the judges had a long critical
examination. Mr. Turner got first by two
points. Mr. Hale's White Carnot, with-
out artificial support, could not stand up
with a bloom ten inches in diameter.

There were four entries on the vase of
twentv-five blooms for effect, Geo. Hale
winning first and N. Butterbach second.
For chrysanthemums in pots, a group
of seventy-five square feet, N. Butter-

PITTSBURG.

The last meeting of the Florists' Club
was held on November 3, and, although
it was election night, we had a very
large meeting and a magnificent display
of chrysanthemums. Four new names
were proposed for membership. Christ-
mas plants and flowers and materials
used in Christmas work is to be our
subject for the next meeting. December 1.

One hundred and sixty-three distinct
varieties of named chrysanthemums were
shown at our meeting and of these seventy-
five varieties came from the Phipps con-
servatories, Schenley park. They were
simply grand, with massive blossoms, fat
and perfect foliage and strong, stiff
stems. When we consider that every
one of these flowers was grown in pots
and not one planted out on benches we
appreciate more and more the masterly
hand of John Jones, the conservatory
foreman, as a cultivator. Some of his
round-headed blooms were eleven and
three-fourths inches in diameter and his
extended Eider Haggard flowers were
half an inch larger than that. D. Fraser,
of H. C. Friek's private greenhouses,
sent a number of last year's new var-
ieties, but they showed no marked ad-
vance over older sorts. Blind Brothers
had fine flowers. They grow them on
benches in three inches of soil, and
plant them right out there in June, from
the cutting bed. Goodwin Brothers,
Bridgeville, Pa., had a lot of an extra
vigorous form of Ivory which looked
very good and the cut flower men pro-
nounced it a great advance on the plain
Ivory. The Cut Flower Co. brought
examples of every variety consigned to
their store. And from the railroad
greenhouses at Sewickly and Mr. Wilae.
at Beaver Falls, we had tin.' exhibits.

Our distant friends treated us most
generously. F. B. Pierson Co., Tarry-
town, N. Y., sent a splendid lot of the
finest kind of chrysanthemums, with
beautiful flower heads, stems as stiff as
pokers and luxuriant foliage up to the
necks of the blossoms, and they sent
a letter describing these and their man-
ner of growing them which was read
in meeting. Mr. Clark, the 'mum man
of the Cut Flower Co., spoke up
very ardently in favor of these Pierson
'mums.

Nathan Smith & Son, Adrian, Mich.,
sent numerous varieties of flowers.
One named Vera is a pure white pom-
pon,very full double and of most refined

were F. S. Vallis, pale yellow ; Milliecnl
Richardson, blood crimson, pale re\oiso;
M. Paul Labbe. Mine. Waldeck Eosseau,
Surprise, a splendid yellow seedling of
theirs called Golden Age, and others.

Dr. B. F. Galloway, of the Agricultur-
al Department, Washington, D. C, sent
very interesting flowers. Among the

standard sorts Col. W. J. Bryan was su-
perb. Why don't the people groTi inori
of this variety? It is silverj white,
faintly flushed with pink inside. John
Jones is a Republican but he thinks
the world of Col. W. J. Bryan and grows
it in quantity. Dr. Galloway also sent
a large, full double, silvery white, broad
flower raised by Mr. Byrnes, the head
gardener at the Department. It has
been named Mrs. J. M. Wilson, in com-
pliment to the wife- of the Secretary of
Agriculture.

B. Vincent. Jr. i- Son, of White Marsh,
sent a great variety of pompon sorts
from their outdoor fields, also a lot ot
blooms of seedlings raised by them. They
very kindly sent us son,, not,-- regard-
ing the cultivation .., these Bowers:
"Plant out good stock from two-incl

pots in early spring, in rows wide el gh

apart to be worked by horse-power and
fourteen inches apart in the row. Lift
these in fall, before they come into
bloom, and place them a- close together
as thev can stand on a bench in the

greenhouse for early flowers. For late
blooms plant them in a cold frame, or
anywhere where they can be protected
from severe freezing."

When we opened the boxes from the
E. (i. Hill Company, Richmond, Ind., we
stared in wonder at the beauty of the
contents. They contained fourteen var-

MISCELLANEOUS
SEASONABLE HINTS.

Tulips and Hyacinths.
Most of our patrons, as soon as the
geraniums and cannas are gone, are
anxious to get their tulips planted, and
may think they are neglected if there is
any delay. But really it is a mistake to
plant too early. The best tulips I ever
saw bloom in the spring were nut planted
until the end of November, and, if the
weather remained open, a few weeks later
would be just as well. The reason for
late planting of these hardy bulbs is, 1
flunk, that when they have too long a
time for root growth in the fall they
flower very early in the spring, have few
more roots to make and are soon ex-
hausted, while the late planted bulbs
make roots in the spring and the flowers
are not only finer but continue longer.

Begonia Rex.

This once valued foliage plant seems
to have gone out of favor both as an
indoor decorative plant and as a plant
for veranda boxes and vases in shady
positions. If they still enter into your
business they should be propagated just
as soon as the sand in your propagating
bed is warm from fire heat. If you
don't propagate early you won't have
plants of any size in the spring. Choose
strong, well matured leaves, but not by
any means those that are about to decay.
Slice them up into small pieces, say two
inches long, having at the base of each
piece a mid-rib, and insert in the sand
half their length. In four or five weeks
they will send up a small leaf and will
have a bunch of roofs, when they should
be potted and will grow freely if the soli
is light and the temperature not below
00 degrees at night.

Begonia Vernon is now established as
a good bedding plant. Seed of it can be
sown now or soon. The seed is very
minute, so avoid sowing thickly, or the
little plants will smother before you can
get them transplanted. This class of
begonias is most useful for many pur-
poses.

Lily of the Valley.

"Very shortly the import orders of pips
of this very important florists' flower will
be arriving. The man who grows 50,000
and more knows how to handle the pips,
but there are many who force weekly only
perhaps 500 and have not the conven-
iences or experience. Unpack as soon as
they arrive and stand the bunches in a
box an inch or two deeper than the top
of the pips. If the roots are dry, dip
them in water for a moment. Between
each row of bunches pack some soil and
cover the pips with an inch of soil.
Where to store these boxes is of im-
portance. Whether it is necessary that
the pips be frozen before being brought
in to force is a question I will not ven-
ture to decide, but I hardly believe it
is an essential. Too much moisture in
the condition they are in, with their roots
packed in bunches, is known to be in-
jurious to them: therefore the boxes
should be placed in a frame and covered
•with sash or shutters to keep out the

rains. When very hard freezing begins
four or five inches of leaves or stable
litter can be thrown over them. What-
ever quantity you force weekly, it is
most advisable that you should have that
quantity in one box. so that you know
i n s i what you are bringing in. If they
should be frozen, which certainly does
not hurt them, it is easy to get out a
box, or may be two or three, but it is
not so easy to pick out so many bunches
from a box or bed. It has been ad-
vised, and doubtless is a good plan with
large growers, to sort the roots on ar-
rival, sorting out the strongest pips for
early forcing and the weaker for later
months, but the quality of roots we have
been getting for some years we believe
this would be a waste of labor, as by the
tenth of January we have cut ninety per
cent of good spikes. Don't attempt to
force the fall imported roots before De-
cember 20 ; that is, don 't put them in

the sand until thai date. Although we
have had them in flower by New Year's
ii is better to depend on cold storage
stock until early January.

h i- amusing to recall the many early
theoi about the forcing of this deli-
cate flower. Sphagnum moss, crushed
coke and other mediums had their advo-
cates, with more or less success, but the
correct conditions were not understood.
1 think it. is understood that any old sand
is good enough, provided the conditions
are right, which are, briefly, warm sand
and cool air overhead, but I hope to have
more to say later on.

Forcing Iris.

A week or two ago I had something to
say about Spanish iris and unfortunately
I was made to say that ' ' as they do not
flower out of doors till the middle of
June they would force the same as early
tulips." It is evident that I m.eant to
say they would not force. Possibly I did
say so, "but the printer made the omission.
However, don 't waste any bulbs, even if
they are very cheap, in trying to get
them before Easter, and if Easter is
early even that may be a failure. Planted
now or any time before a freeze up, they
bloom out of doors with us about the
middle, of June and are a beautiful
orchid-like flower.

DRAPERY STUDIES.

Ill— Fabrics and Flowers.

A floral design — we are speaking now
of the word in its broadest sense — is
a picture, and like other pictures needs
its unity of parts and its mountings.
Whatever materials are used as acces-
sories must either become a part of the
picture or a useless encumbrance. In
tying a bunch of flowers with ribbon
make the ribbon as much a part of the
picture as is one of the flowers itself,
or discard it. There are two ways by
which this entire harmony may be se-
cured— the union of coloring and the
union of form.

One of the most unnecessary perplexi-
ties is trying to match flowers and rib-
bon. When I try to do that, I don't.
The difference in texture between a fab-
ric and a flower is accountable for the
difficulty. The same color in each will
appear duller in one than in the other;
therefore, so far as the eye is concerned,
the colors do not match. Get a harmo-
nious color, either deeper or lighter.
Within the color combination of flower
and foliage find a tint or shade that
will be a key to the harmony. Often a
blotch or a streak or a line in either,
or the hue of a stamen or pistil will be
the best suggestion for coloring. It is
especially difficult to find fabrics that
will even harmonize with the more bril-
liant colors, like those found in the
Joost or Lawson carnation, for instance.
Their intensity and depth are unap-

proaehed in fabric coloring. So we turn
to the foliage for help, and find it an
easy task to get a light gray-green re-
sembling the leaves. This green, by the
way, will harmonize with any color of
carnation. With violets the tints are
much the best.

This principle of merely harmonizing,
rather than trying to match colors, is
helpful when the flowers are more or
less off color. A rich tint of American
Beauty ribbon suitable for that rose in
its prime, will kill the colors which suc-
ceed each other in the fading process,
and although it may be profitable finan-
cially for a florist to keep a stock of
ribbon, he can never keep a large enough
stock to make selections for each case.

Next to coloring, sizes and styles of
ribbon ties have much to do with the
appearance of bunches of flowers. As a
rule small, delicate flowers should be
tied with narrow ribbon, from No. 3 to
No. 9. The narrower the ribbon the
more is needed in cluster bows. With
the use of wider ribbon decrease the
number of loops.

Not only union in coloring, but a con-
nection between the tie and the bunch
adds to the taking qualities. Instead of
always placing bows and ties over the
stem ends of a bunch of flowers, let one
long end run up through the bunch, draw
a bud or two through a loop of ribbon
or tie the bow on one side instead of on
top. Tie with twisted bows, irregular
bows, and once in a while no bows at all,
just knotted ends.

Using ribbon as mounting makes a

casket sash. This design calls for about
a yard of sash ribbon with a cluster of
flowers on each end. Lay the sash
along the top of the casket or across, with
the clusters hanging. This design is
illustrated herewith. An ordinary .dus-
ter of small Bowers may be mounted on

ends of the ribbon and let the foliage
reach the fringe.

Another use of ribbon or silk fabric
is that of both tie and background, as
seen in the illustration of the wreath. Us
ing a plain, unfilled win' wreath frame.
secure one end of the silk to the frame
anywhere by a hard knot, and begin
to wrap the frame. After a round or two
of 4the wrapping begin to insert the
stems of tin' dowers. As the wrapping
progresses, catch in more flowers, singly
or in groups, with extra foliage, as in
ordinary arrangements. When finished
the piece shows the flowers growing
from the drapery folds. With the re-
maining end of the silk make a fluffy
bow. Wide soft ribbon, such as Lib-
erty satin, or silk by the yard, is pre-
ferable for this arrangement. Where
silk is used, it will require from two lo
three yards, according to the size of
the wreath. Cut the silk in two length-
wise and gain the advantage of more
wrapping. Gertrude Blair.

VIOLETS.

Seasonable Notes.

In growing violets, as in growing all

other kinds of plants, so much depends

on the houses, on their location and
posure, on the soil, moisture, air.

tering, ventilation and other details, both
great and small, but too numerous to
mention, that no grower, no matter how
expert, can lay down any hard and fast
cultural rules. After making a thor-
ough study of this subject and follow-
ing general principles the grower who is
observing will find that he will be con-
stantly learning new things, little items
of one kind or another, all of which,
closely observed, tend to produce the
well-grown house of violets. The ex-
perience that he gets in this way leads
the grower intuitively to know the needs
of a house when he enters same and
knows how it has been treated. And
yet this may all be hard to express in
words or on paper, as instruction for
others to follow.

Value of Records.
In addition to the above mentioned
things, while it means labor, the more
complete, written records (don't trust
to memory), regarding soil, fertilizers,
size of clumps or crowns, time of plant-
ing, weather, comparison oi houses
treated differently, etc., etc., the grower
makes, the more he learns that is not
guess work, and the better prepared he
is for the next season's labor. And
I would add that he will be astonished
often, in more than one way, on con-
sulting these same records.

One thing we are thoroughly con-
vinced of is that the atmosphere has
much to do with successful violet grow-
ing, despite all our care. Now, if you
keep a daily record of blooms cut, also
of each kind, and if possible of each
house separately, you will probably find,
on looking it over at the end of the
season, that it would pay you better to
grow more of one kind and less of an-
other. You will find that the one kind
viii's you more flowers than the other;
tli.it il likes your soil and general treat-
ment better; that you succeeded in
Inning a larger crop on at holidays, when
you i specially wanted them. All these
things are little items an.1, often seem
like too much bother, and yet it is
just these things, properly done, that
may keep you from earing for a house
from year 'to year that is yielding little
or no profit, but which with corrections
could be made to pay handsomely.
Soft Growth.

Of course there are always some con-
ditions that cannot be entirely overcome,
only modified as far as possible. Take
our weather lately, for instance; while
it was delightful and good in many ways,
yet do your best and you could not keep
your violet houses as cool as you would
ke, with the result that it brought on
the blooms fast when you did not wish
many, and also caused the plants to push
out a new, soft growth, at the expense
of later buds, growth that will not be

operly hardened up when it is sud-

nly overtaken by cold, wet, stormy
fall and winter weather, checking it
quickly and making it extremely sus-
ceptible to disease, if so be there is
anv lurking around. Naturally spot,
etc., is much less liable to be about and
able to spread if, as I have before men-
tioned, the houses are kept scrupulously
clean and well dusted with air-slaked

Sow Bugs.

It is likely that you have been attend-
ing to the poison for the sow bugs. How-
ever, because you have lowered their
census, do not flatter yourself that you

have exterminated them, tor if you look
carefully you will probably find a few
left, enough in a comparatively short
time to make a good showing again. So
it is desirable to hunt up here and there
the spots where t here are some sow bugs

and spread another banquet for their
benefit. It also costs less to feast a few
than it does to have to set a large table.

Inspect the Piping.

It might not be amiss to suggest, if
you have not already attended to it, that
'it is well, while this nice weather lasts,,
to look over your heating arrangements
which yon will have to use later and avoid
finding out when you have to fire up that
the boiler and pipes need some repairs
which may then prove much more ex-
pensive t.'i make. It is well, if the
water has become lowered in the system,
to first fill it full, then go regularly over
every joint in the pipes and boiler and
see that they are perfectly tight and se-
nile in every respect, that there are no
sags or breaks in the supports that have
thus tin-own a strain on joints which, if
they] have not yet yielded, may be
nearly ready to' do so. Take par-
ticular care, if the pipes go through
walls or floors, for here you will

frequently find, even in the best
of buildings, a little settling that may
be throwing a great deal of strain on the
pipes and may cause them to give waj
at a most inconvenient season. Look to
t lie joints entering boilers, as this is
one of the worst places in the system,

es] ially if you use wrought pipe. If

you do don't be afraid to use hammer
and cold chisel freeh here, to see if the

threads are not nearly rusted through.
Even if you find everything secure it is
a'waya well to drain off all the water,
washing out the pipes and boiler thor-
oughly, filling again with fresh water.
You will be astonished, if you have
never had your attention called to it,
how much better fresh, clean water heats
up than old, stale, muddy water.

Seasonable Treatment.
We have had several nights the past

week with the mercury down to 20 de-
grees and for some time we have needed
fire every night to keep up the proper
temperature ■ in the houses. After the
plants come into bloom in good shape it
pavs well to keep up a regular tempera-
ture. While the plants are making their
fall growth and before the buds have at-
tained any size an occainona] drop to
40 degrees does very little if any harm.
But after the crop is en mid yen really
need the blooms (and quality of course
counts) you waut no split calyxes, and
there is also less danger of disease in a
dry atmosphere than if the houses get
damp and stagnant .very night.

The days are getting shorter aud the
sun weaker and there is much more
moisture in the air than there is earlier,
when the sun is^ stronger and the days
longer. Let th<f fireman get up steam
every night and if it is oecessary (to
keep the temperature down) let him
raise the ventilators an inch or two.
There may be some nights when it will
be quite warm and on such occasions
he should at least run the steam around
every hour or two, just to keep the air
dry. But on every possible occasion have
the ventilators up a little.

Perhaps I am somewhat of a crank on
the fresh air question, but I have found
by experience, that yen never injure your
carnations with too much air as long as
the temperature is at the proper point,
while you certainly can make your car-
nations soft and spindling by keeping a
close, damp atmosphere. Especially at
this time of the year you should do all
you possibly can to induce a sturdy
hardy growth.

You must be more careful in your wa-
tering, too, now. Watch for dry spots
wherever the heating pipes come close to
the bench. If the pipes are below, the
soil may dry out at the bottom first and
you must dig down to the bottom occa-
sionally. The south side of the bed is
also apt to dry out quicker on bright
days and more frequent watering will be
needed. In tact, you should exercise the
.are in your watering, as a few
days ei' carelessness are liable to cause
xou much hiss and vexation.

We do not syringe so much from now
on, as we are liable to have a rainy spell
l nv time. If your plants are free from
red spider, which they ought to be, you

will be able to keep them so by syring-
about once each week. If the days
are very warm, and the plants seem to
-ii Her, a very light spraying about eleven
ii 'clock will help them materially. Don't
wet down the walks any more, as they
may not dry out again by nightfall.
When you water, do it as early in the day
as possible, as you are sure to wet the
walks some while watering, and the sur-
face of the beds will also dry off some,
besides giving the plants the benefit of
the water when the sun is the warmest.

Mr. Osborn gave us a good article on
packing carnation blooms, and I want to
say "ditto." Let me also add that it
you can pack all your carnations without
bunching them it will pay you.

CARNATION NOTES-EAST.

Keeping Qualities.

The keeping quality of a carnation
bloom has much to do in determining-
its value and, as stated last week,
it depends on the grower's method of
handling. It is important that thej !"•
taken from the plant with a sharp
knife, making a clean cut. No mangling
or crushing of the stem tissue should
occur, as this seriously affects the stem's
capacity to conduct water. Early morn-
ing is the ideal time, although during
cold weather or on cloudy days, cutting
late in the afternoon cannot be said
to be inadvisable. The main thing to
avoid is cutting when the sun is exert-
ing its direct influence on the plants.

\ ases previously tilled with fresh water
and distributed about the house for im-
mediate reception of the bloom, will save
time and reduce the chances of the cut
ends becoming seared over through dry-
in- of exuding sap. The importance of
getting blooms into water as' soon as
possible after cutting cannot be over-
estimated and to this end 1 would se-
lect grades when cutting rather than cut
everything as it comes ami grade after-
wards. This plan sale- extra handling
and reduces the liability of broken stems
and mussed flowers.

When titty blooms have been cut, place
al once in water and one cause of

Vase- -lii. ul. I 1 1' such depth as will

allow at least two4hirds of the stem
to -mini in water and the vases ought
to be thoroughly washed inside every
week, using a few drops of ammonia
in the water.

It is better to err a little ,,n the side
of cutting somewhat underdeveloped
than to all..,, blooms, to stand until that
tagi i- reached n here tic p. .Men i- ripe

and necessary handling will induce self-
piilloniz.itiiin. A flower cut when three-
quarter- blown and placed in water for
twelve hours will be in prime condition
to ship and reach the ret;

in simp.
a delight

reflect ion

to be a source of profit
to the customer and a
on the grower.

Never cut blooms from plants suffer-
ing from dryness at the root, or that
from any cause appear wilted. In the
vases use water having a temperature of
about 60 degrees and as soon as filled
with bloom place in a room where the
thermometer is not over 55 degrees, but
which will fall not lower than 43 degrees.
By a room is not meant a close, stuffy
cupboard or an artificially cooled recep-
tacle, but a room in which the air is
constantly changed without exposing the
flowers to any strong draughts and where
direct sunlight is shut out, but not so
completely as to produce pitch darkness,
as the flowers favor a certain amount
of light in expanding after being cut
and this leads me to caution against
crowding too many blooms in a vase.

Chemical Manures.

Blooms grown under right conditions
will keep longer than if produced in too
high temperature or on plants overfed or
watered, for as wrong conditions weaken
the plant it must follow that the product,
be it cuttings or bloom, will lie inferior.
The use of prepared chemical manures is
risky business in the hand of the aver-
age grower, not because he is ignorant
of his plants' needs or does not know the
effect of certain chemicals, but, being in
the. dark as to their ingredients, he is
unable to determine the quantity suited
to his particular soil, not only at the
first application, but at the second and
succeeding ones, when perhaps a larger
or smaller quantity is needed to maintain
the proper proportions of nitrogen, potas-
sium and phosphorus. On the whole 1
would class chemical manures as stimu-
lants useful perhaps near the end of the
-eason, when propagation is long past
and circumstances demand quantities of
! low- grade flowers. Geo. S. Osborn. .

As the holidays draw near there is al-
ways more or less nervous anxiety on the
part of the grower, dreading that he will

to the fact that stock at that season can
by a night or two at an increased tem-
perature be so reduced in vitality that
the future crop may be endangered.

Crops which require a little pushing
should have a gentle stimulant in the
form of liquid manure, with a little ni-

THE C. S. A. MEETING.

There was a large and enthusiastic
business meeting of the Chrysanthemum
Societj of America on Wednesday after-
noon. Arthur Herrington was re-
elected to the presidency for the third
time. Elmer D. Smith was elected vice-
president, and Secretary F. H. Lemon
and Treasurer J. N. May were re-
elected. Professor George E. Stone lec-
tured on ' ' The Diseases of the Chry-
santhemum." In the evening a banquet
was tendered to Mr. Herrington.

PRESIDENT HERRINGTON'S
ADDRESS.

The following is the address of Presi-
dent A. Herrington, read at the C. S. A.
meeting in New York Wednesday after-
noon, November 11:

A year ago, in Chicago, in first con-
vention assembled, we reviewed tin-
past so far as it pertained to the work
of the Chrysanthemum Society of Amer-
ica from its inception, took a eareful
survey of our position as a national so-
ciety and imbued with enthusiasm by
the support accorded that meeting, re-
solved that its annual fixity was from
henceforth an assured fact.

\ desire long cherished in the minds
of many had at last been consummated,

and the consummation was justified by
the results attained, as shown then in
the general interest manifested in the

In all undertakings diligence in the
advocacy of aim and object is usually a
stepping stone to recognition, and a
well-directed effort to give a larger na-
tional significance to the work of the
Chrysanthemum Society has already met
with such marked encouragement and
responsive support as to justify the be-
lie! that there is a bright and useful
future assured the society.

The general interest in the chrysan-
themum is well sustained, and there is
no apparent reason for any abatement
thereof in a flower of such inherent.
variability. If "variety is the spice of
life," how richly endowed with this
particular trait is the life and history
and the unknown future development
oi tin (lower for which we stand as
sponsors, endeavoring to obtain for it a
larger measure of popularity, exceeding
even that which it receives today.

Coincident with this, in fact a neces-
sity toward its attainments, is the or-
ganized effort for which the society ex-
ists, and dealing with a subject so com-
prehensive, so rich in latent charm, it
behooves us to rise equal to the exigen-
cies of our day, to pursue our aims dili-
gently and thoroughly, to keep a care-
ful record of what American growers
have done in the past, to see that the
trend of the present efforts are upward-
ly progressive, and to foster future de-
velopment along all possible lines, so
that more and more the chrysanthemum
may become a people's flower, a flower
for the amateur as well as for the pro-
fessional florist and the wealthy owner
of a finely-equipped estate employing a
skilled gardener.

Giving honor to whom honor is due,
we must admit, professional men, flor-
ists and gardeners have been the pio-
neer workers in the chrysanthemum
field, and that they, too, were the or-
ganizers, and are today the main sup-
port of the societv, as they saw con-
certed effort materially enhanced prog-
ress. It jhould lie the ambition of us
all to work for a boader development,
and our society can only be truly na-
tional in its work by taking cognizance
of all types of the flower, of all condi-
tions ot culture, thus centering in itself,
and work, the interest,, and command-
ing the support of chrysanthemum lov-
ers, professional and amateur, of the
greenhouse and the open air.

The thoughts herein expressed are
perhaps a repetition of those uttered a.
year ago, and are intentionally repeated
in the hope that other minds will delib-
erate upon them, as it must in truth be
admitted we cannot ignore any part or
aspect of the work to which we are
committed. Where we lead others will
follow, and a generous co-operation is
assured to us. We have ample evidence
of this, as demonstrated by the united
effort that has culminated in the grand
exhibition amassed to celebrate this oc-
casion. When the invitation of the
American Institute of Xew York was
accepted your president, on behalf of
the Chrysanthemum Society, visited a
number ot' the local societies and in-

it would be well, also, that we should
give some thought to ways and means
toward improving our organization. We
should now be in a position to think and
act intelligently along these lines, as
the constitution and by-laws of the so-
ciety, heretofore only available in the
original typewritten copy, were ordered
to be printed in the proceedings of our
l bicago meeting, and they will be
found on pages 27-8-9 of that publica-
tion, a copy of which has been sent to
all members.

A careful perusal of the constitution
reveals the fact that we have a reserve
of available executive force that has
never yet been brought into action.
Article IV entitles us to have district
vice-presidents for seven specified dis-
-trirts. Let us call out the reserves,
and given men in sympathy with the
cause, what a fertile field of missionary
work these districts should prove! As a
means toward securing a large aggre-
gation of membership probably none
better could be devised.

Some amendments tire needed also to
adapt our laws to present conditions of
the society's work. One instance only
need be cited, that of the committees
that for a long time have been doing
such admirable work annually in pass-
ing judgment upon the novelties sub
mitted to them. These irregularities
could probably be best rectified by the
appointment of a committee to revise
the constitution and by laws and sub-
mit its recommendations in accordance
with Article IX.

flower, enumerate the new ones as they
appear, and describe them in a few
terse but readable articles that would
tell more, and with better effect, than
the conventional catalogue descrip-
tions.' Even work of this character is
directly in line with our object, and
.-an be better done by our society- than
by the .average individual. We extol
the fact that the literature of the
chrysanthemum surpasses that of any
other flower. Do we not, then, owe it
to those who shall come after that the
record of our time shall be handed
down complete and unimpaired .'

Creation of Special Committees.
It is easy to be critical, to say here
and there are vulnerable points* of at-
tack. The defensive pari is the harder
part, and calls for the exercise of a
careful discrimination in laying out an
aggressive policy. We assemble but
once a year, and time is too limited for
great accomplishments involving a
mass of detail. A way suggests itself,
however, in which, if we could agree
upon the desirability of diligently pros-
ecuting certain lines of work, to create
special committees to carry on the work
deputed to them between our annual
sessions. This would conduce to rapid-
ity of progress and show in our annual
reports a larger measure of attained re-
sults.

Retrospective.
In this city in August. 1900, I for the
first time attended a meeting of the
faithful few who for a deeade had held
the society true to active purpose, con-
fident in 'the belief there was a need
for it to be, though general apathy
discouraged their efforts. The election
of officers brought to me the responsi-
bility of directing its affairs. From that
moment one hope was dominant — the
hope that ways and means might be
found to establish a closer community
of interest between the work and the
workers; the hope that the society

NEW YORK.

The Market.

The markets for cut flowers and for
stocks go hand in hand; more and more
is demonstrated the melancholy fact that
Wall street dominates the flower busi-
ness in New York and prosperity in the
financial center means success for the
florists' trade. A killing frost and the
return <d' the "150" may lift a little
of the incubus from the back of the
market, but a recurrence of old time
progress seems an impossibility until the
bears are skinned in the financial district
and public confidence is restored. The
men who spend money for luxuries are
not earning their salt.

Club Meeting.

The best meeting of the New York
Florists ' Club in a decade was held on
Monday evening. An attendance of over
fifty of the leading members attested
the interest in the flower show, the read-
in-- of Alex. Wallace and the fine ex-
hibits of flowers and plants and the
visits of Presidents Breitmeyer and Rack-
ham and other notables. It was a meet-
ing long to be remembered and the ut-
most cordiality and enthusiasm prevailed.

Mr. Traendly's report showed a bal-
ance of $16 profit from the outing last
summer, which the club donated, with
a collection of some $40 or more to H.
Schweitzer, of Mendota, 111. Messrs.
Dugan, Palmer, Muller, Scene and Miller
were elected members of the club, and
Lyman B. Craw, of Lord & Burnham,
was proposed for membership. Mr.
Sheridan read the report of the nominat-
ing committee, and the following names
were suggested for the various offices
in 1904 : For president, J. H. Troy, John
Burnie and W. II. Siebrecht; for vice-
president. F. H. Traendly, W. B. Du
Eie, William Duckham; for secretary.
John Young, L. W. Wheeler, Jos. Manda.
Jr.; for treasurer, C. B. Weathered,
Lawrence Haffner, S. C. Nash; for trus-
tees, John Morris, Alex. Wallace, A. L.
Miller, J. B. Nugent, Theo. Lang, Will-
iam Elliott.

Messrs. Breitmeyer, Eaekham, Crowe
and Smith occupied seats on the rostrum
with the president during the address
and readings of Mr. Wallaee, for which
he received a vote of thanks. The new
roses exhibited by Messrs. Breitmeyer
and May and the new fern Scotti, by
John Scott, were much admired and the
committee on awards rendered most com-
plimentary reports and gave Mr. Scott
a certificate of merit. The rules of the
dub make this impossible with the rose
until :i committee appointed by the club
shall see the roses growing. Mr. Scott's
fern, a sport from the Boston, is re-
markably graceful and compact, and will

The Market.

The market here the pasl week was still
in a very much overcrowded condition.
I'll, weather has been ideal but the de-
mand for cut flowers is very unsteady at
the retail stores. The wholesale florists
are not in the best of humor, as the
abundance of chrysanthemum blooms has
forced prices on everything else down
to the lowest limit. Chrysanthemums
themselves are cheaper than ever before
and good large blooms can be bought
i dozen and $15 in hundred lots.
Appleton, Mrs. Perrin, Robinson and
Ivory are among the best sellers just
now. Some extra fine Timothy Eaton
are promised for this week and a fine
lot of Jerome Jones and Major Bonnaffon
are in today, which are really fine and
bringing top price, $2.50 per dozen.

In roses the same conditions prevail,
except in the case of a little extra fancy
stock, which is selling at what it is
really worth. Brides, Bridesmaids and
Meteors of good quality are selling at 75
cents per 100 and cheaper in 1,000 lots.
American Beauties are not quite so bad
and the price is kept up on first quality
stock. These are not what you would
call over-plentiful, still enough for the
demand.

Carnations are also suffering for want
of demand and some good stock is going
to waste. The street fakir is making his
own price on these and the store men
are Imying only the best at $1 and $1.50
per 100. Gov. Wolcott is the best whiti
and E. Crocker the best pink, with a few
good Crane for red.

Violets the past week had to juffei
from the warm weather and the demand
was light, with the supply fairly plentiful
at 35 cents and 50 rent- per 100. Lily
of the valley is still selling well, with the
supply somewhat limited; $4 and $5
is the price now. A few callas and Paper
While- are in but not enough to quote
prices. All green had a good demand.

plants suffered very muclj from smoke

and heat. Superintendent H. C. Irish
and a large force of men worked hard
to save the other houses, which they final-
ly did.

Ostertag Bros, made a very fine deco-
tion at Eaust 's for ' horse show week.
Henry reports that they used a big lot
of stock of all kinds and it made one of
the prettiest decorations seen for a long
time at a place of this kind.

Some very pretty horse show decora-
tions were made in the show windows of
the local florists. Among the best were
those of the Ellison Floral Co., at Grand
and Olive streets, Miss Newman and
Miss T. Badaraeco. All business houses
down town were decorated with horso
show colors, green and white, in which
a good many white pot chrysanthemums
were used.

Philip Breitmeyer, of Detroit, in a let-
ter has promised the local club an ex-
hibition of the new rose for its meeting
next week. Baur & Smith, of Indianap-
olis, will send a bunch of their new car-
nation, Indianapolis. James Hartshorne
will try to send a few of Fiancee and
all of 'them will be looked for with in-
terest by the members of the club.

INDIANAPOLIS, IND.

Mrs. William Billingsley died of fever
November 8 at her home! The remains
were taken to her former home in New
Fork state for interment. Her death
came as a great surprise to her many
friends in tin- craft, as she had not been
ill long and was supposed to be improv-
ing since the day of the crisis. Several
members of the craft sent floral pieces,
but many heard the sad news too late to
send anything. Mr. Billingsley has the
sympathj of the craft in his bereave-
ment. A. B.

bull-headed, but Liberty is in good shape
and very plentiful, especially short-

Carnations are very good indeed and
there are em. ugh for all needs. Chrys-
anthemums are not coming in so heavily
as a few days ago but there are still
more than ean be moved at -ati-la.ti.i \
figures. It is undoubted that the re-
turns on 'mums this season are less than
ever before in this market and Flint
Kennieott says he thinks it is largely
accounted for by the failure to hold a
flower show to awaken public interest in
the queen of autumn. Violets, valley
and all the miscellaneous items of stock
are abundant, including green goods.

Partnership Dissolved.
Peter Reinberg and Peter Weiland
have dissolved partnership in the busi-
ness at New Castle, Ind., and papers
have been signed which will put the lat-
ter in full possession of the plant July
1, 1904. In the meantime each will op-
erate one-half of the establishment,
which consists of ten houses 300 feet
long, a total of iMI.OIKI feet of glass, half
of which is devoted to Beauties and the
whole place in very good shape. Air.
Weiland will send his cut to E. C. Am-

PHILADELPHIA.

The Market.
There is an awful glut of stuff in the
market, with only fair business. < lux
santhemnms are much overdone also
Beauties; in fact, all roses. Last week
ended badly. Saturday brought a brisk
demand for erimson and red and blue
flowers for the Lie football garni . II. II.
Battles was especially busy for this' oc-
casion. A temporary rush of insanity,
it was aptly styled. Gimbel Bros., con-
tinuing their show this week, helped
matters somewhat. This firm, by the
way, claims that over lno.iinn people
saw thtir slum last Saturday. The fu-
neral of Wm. L. Klkins on Tuesday,
caused considerable demand for choice
Ivory chrysanthemums, valley, etc. The
Pennsylvania Society 's annual fall shov,
had a good effect on the demand for the
queen of autumn.

Notes.

It is my melancholy duty to take a
cipher off the very fine chrysanthemum
order mentioned last week.' It should
have read 1,600. Now, lovelv proof-
reader, it may be nothing to you to
demurely add a naught to my figures
but pray forbear or the town will be too
hot for Phil.

Carl Jurgens, Jr., Newport, R. I., was
in this city last month. This firm ships
great quantities of valley and late, ,,, i he
season many varieties of bulbous flow-
ers to Leo Niessen.

John C. Gracey held an opening on
Friday of last week at his new store,
2034 Columbia avenue. The store is *-»
of the finest in the city, affording ample
opportunity for display. Many visitors
crowded the place and all received sou-
venirs.

Charles H. Fox will open a new store
ar Broad and Sansom streets, it is un-
derstood, on Monday next.

Wm. J. Young, Jr., has turned the
end of a greenhouse adjoining his office,
into a tastefully arranged conservatory,
filled with palms, ferns and flowering
plants. It should prove an object les-
son to his customers.

pandanns. So well has this variety been
propagated that they are still offering
some of each size.

Robert Crawford, Jr.. is at his post
bright and smiling. showing xisit.us
about his beautiful store.

The Florists' Club held a joyous smok-
er last Wednesday and many visitors
were present. By the way, I am in-
formed that plan of prepaying was not
passed last week, but will' be voted on
next month.

Henry F. Miehell Co. has good ex-
hibits at all the local shows this week.

Joseph Heacock has a fine lot of 10-

inch areeas on his palm factory at Wvn-
eote.

The Philadelphia Carnation Co. is
sending in some nice blooms of Enchan-
tress and other fancy carnations. Their
large mushroom plant is expected to be
in crop early next month.

PITTSBURG.

The Market.

The cut flower business last week was
fairly good, but not brisk enough to use
up the supply of stock. Chrysanthe-
mums are very numerous and of course
they are the leading feature in the
market just now. First-class blooms
ean be bought at $8 per hundred, a
few blooms of fancy grade bring $3
per dozen, but they are choice. Weak-
necked stock has no value at all and
is a drug on the market. A less number
of pink chrysanthemums are grown in
this vicinity this season, for what rea-
son I am unable to state, but I am in-
formed there is a demand for more than

the suppU .

American Beauties are more than
abundant and hard to move at fair
prices. Specials and extra grades are
the best sellers. Medium and short-
stemmed are sold as low as $2 per hun-
dred. In tea roses there was no selling
pressure, ami at the same time no aggres-
sive buying; specials and extras find
r.a.h sale, but first and seconds are a
glut. tarnations of the fancy sort, are
more plentiful and are offered at $2
per hundred. Some fancy Lawsons
brought if?.. Violets continue plentiful
a,,. I lim I a light demand.

Club Notes.

I i you were absent from the last
meeting of the Florists' Club you missed
one "t' the best shows of chrysanthemums
ever held here. Our indefatigable presi-
dent. Win. Falconer, secured all the new
and late varieties of chrysanthemums.
Every bloom was taken up singly and its
merits thoroughly discussed. Enthus-
iasm was shown until the last bloom was
inspected. The meeting was the best
attended one we have had for some time
and four new names were proposed. These
meetings, much better called a school of
floriculture and horticulture, with Mr.
Falconer as quiz-master, are invaluable
and not a meeting should be missed. I
hope that every member of the club will
attend the next meeting, December 1,
and bring his friends. Christmas mate-
rial is the subject. Some of the old
time boys. Wm. Clarke, L. I. Xeff.
Samuel McClemonts, Julius Luduig ami

E. B. Ludwig will give practical den

strations- of uses. Hoo-Hoo.

CINCINNATI.

The Market.

The past week brought the largest
l usiness oi the season. The demand
was far above expectations and even
short stemmed roses sold well. This
week is starting off much in the same
fashion. All retailers seem to be doing
a very good business. The demand for
chrysanthemums has continued since All
Saints' day and good prices continue,
although the supply of large blooms has
greatly increased. The sudden cold spell
cut down the supply of roses ami this in
a way helped sustain the mum market.
Col. Appletons are now almost cut out
and w'e are sorry to see this grand sort
go, notwithstanding that a certain per
rent come malformed. Bonnaffon is now
coming well and as yet there is no yellow
to take its place. In whites Silver Wed-
ding has been the best so far. Chad-
wick will soon be coming and if it is in
anything like last year's form, it will be
hard to find a better. It ranks right
up with Appleton. Very few Eatons
have made their appearance, and it is
just as well, as aside from its large size
this mum has very few points that com-
mends itself to the trade. At present
there is a very heavy demand for small
mums suitable for funeral work. Also
tor stock to sell at $6 and $8 per 100,
which is a very good selling size for the
average retailer.

Carnations continue scarce, with very
little sign of an increase in supply. There
are not enough violets to go around.
Callas are beginning to come in large
quantities.

Various Notes.

Saturday will be the annual chrysan-
themum show of the Florists' Society.
Wm. Schuman will have charge of the ex-

hibits. Besides the regular prizes the
society will again award the silver and
bronze S. A. F. medals for most merit-
orious plant or flower of American origin.
These medals will be competed for at this
and subsequent shows given by the so-
ciety, but will not be awarded until the
last show of the- season.

The B. K. & B. Floral Co., of Rich
mond, is sending in some of the finest
Appleton seen in this city. Their Rich-
mond Gem is the best red carnation on
the market so far.

Chas. E. Critchell. manager of the Al
lanta Floral Co. store and greenhouses,
at Atlanta, Ga., formerly a Cincinnati

PLANT NOTES.

Christmas will soon be upon us and
florists will find this a good time to look
over their available stock for the holi-
days. The people of California are very
fond of flowers, and flowering plants at
this time are sure to be in good demand.

Potted bulbous stock is always a good
seller and Dutch and Eoman hyacinths
are the first on the list. We put about
three to five Roman hyacinths in a 5 or
6-inch pot and have no difficulty in re-
tailing them at 50 cents. The Dutch
hyacinths sell about the same price and
one large flower is all that is necessary
for selling it at a handsome profit. Val-
ley is generally transplanted, about half
a dozen in a 5-inch pot, and sells readily
at $1.

Chinese primulas are sold singly in
3 or 4-inch pots and they can be handled
nicely in 8 or 9-inch fern pans, planting
about five of assorted colors in each pot.
We retailed a great many of them dur-
ing last season's holidays at $1.50 to $2
per jar. Freesias and tulips are good
sellers and can be handled very easily at
splendid profits.

VTe received last season large quanti-
ties of poinsettias from Los Angeles that
were outside grown. The only trouble 1
found with them was that they did not
hold their leaves well and although the
flowers kept well enough the si ems

looked verj shabby. Assortments of
small growing ferns planted in fern
dishes and strong pots of maidenhair

good demand.

Iventia Belmoreana and Forsteriana
are our best selling palms, although Cy-
cas revoluta, rhapis and arecas are close
seconds. Phoenix canariensis and many
other palms are perfectly hardy here in
California and are not much used for
interior decorations. Japanese fern bas-
kets had a large sale several years ago
bu1 i lew do not seem to be in much de-
mand this season. Asparagus Sprengeri
in loskets and Asparagus plumosus in
pots must not be overlooked, as they are
about as satisfactory an article as any-
one wants to handle and one of the few
house plants the general public seems to
l.e able to keep alive for any length of
time. G.

SAN FRANCISCO.

The Market.

Business during the past week has

I n quiet enough to suit any one. There

is both a scarcity of funerals and also of
society functions, and most of our flor-
ists have an idea there will be very little
doing until Thanksgiving. The chrysan-
themum is still queen of the market and
the quality of the stock offered is thor-
oughly up to color and form. Prices
nile verj low and the best outside grown
Bonnaffon can be bought for $1.50 per
hundred. We had a heavy downpour of
rain on Tuesday and some of the growers
thought that outdoor stock would suffer,
Inn everything dried up in a few hours
and is now in better shape than ever.
Carnations are good and cheap. I think
ihe\ are twenty-five per cent cheaper
than at this time last year. The rea-

- are, first, our continued warm,

bright weather, and. secondly, the large
amouni of stock offered by new growers.
I think there are not less than twenty
Lew establishments started in the last
year in the neighborhood of San Fran-
cisco.

Roses are plentiful, excepting Beau-
ties. Bridesmaid, Bride, Kaiserin and
Testout can be had at from 50 to 75
cents per dozen wholesale, and they are
of very good quality. Violets are getting
better than they were a week ago, owing
to the rain, but price still remains at $1
per dozen bunches. Outside flowers are
getting scarce. We still have some gail-
lardias and dahlias, but most of the
other stock is out of season.
Notes.

A very well attended flower show was
held in San Mateo last week and some
of our well known growers took most
of the prizes. Wm. Eldred, Wm. Mc-
Donald and Thomas Breen took the first
prizes for chrysanthemum blooms. W.
Kettlewell first prize for dahlias. Fick
& Faber first prizes for carnations and
roses and H. G. Hardv first prize for
ferns. G.

Osage, Ta.— Walter S. Hall has had an
"opening" at his greenhouses this week,
a musical festival and illumination. He
sent out hand bills and as one feature
advertised the Happy Hooligan K. of P.
band, and as another "Old Folks' Day,"
Wednesday afternoon, offering to send a
carriage for any one who would 'phone
or send a postal. An admission of ten
cents was charged in the evening.

A i. ma, Mich. — W. O. Thomas has sold
his greenhouse to Steve Coleman, who is
removing it to- his place.

Grand Rapids, Mich. — Charles Chad-
wick is building :i new greenhouse 450
feet long, which will be used for forcing
lettuce.

FORCING ASPARAGUS.

As Ear a- the Juicing uf iliis vegetable
I n.. I. it is quiti a simple matter,
as it is well adapted as a forcing sub
jeet, requiring only about three weeks
from time of starting until it is fit to
cut if the proper conditions are pro-
vided. The procuring of suitable plants
is often the most troublesome part, un
less the plants are home-grown, and
when it is intended to go into asparagus
forcing to any great extent it will pay
to grow them at home. Here they can
be lifted and placed in the forcing quar-
ters without any check through the
roots being exposed to the drying in-
fluence of the air, but when shipped
from a distance more or less drying and
consequent loss of vitality is bound to
occur through the soil being all shaken
from the roots. We like to get them, if
possible, with soil adhering. We have
used two-year-old crowns where they
were very strong, but find as a general
rule that those three years old are more
profitable, the stalks produced being not
only more numerous but considerably
stronger.

We have seen asparagus foieed under
greenhouse benches and such places, but
in such situations it is hard to pro-
duce a first-class article. We have ob-
tained the best results in pits. Our pits
are about four feet deep and built of
brick, heated by one 4-inch hot water
pipe, which runs right around the pit
about one foot from the top. We begin
operations by putting about two feet of
stable litter in the bottom of the pit.
This we pack as firmly as possible. Clean
sand is then added to a depth of three
inches. As the manure generates more
heat than the roots will stand, time is
allowed for the surplus heat to work

off. ]

When the temperature has fallen to 60
degrees we consider it safe to set the
plants. We set them just as close as the
adhering soil will allow, then cover with
from three to four inches of sand.
Enough water is then given to settle the
sand around the roots, but not enough
to soak the manure. The heat is regu-
lated by air to 75 degrees in the day
time and enough air is left on over night
to allow surplus vapor to escape while
the manure is still fresh. Later on
enough fire heat is supplied to maintain
a top night temperature of from 55 to
60 degrees. Frequent waterings are nec-
essary and should be given whenever
the sand shows signs of dryness. Cut-
ing should begin in from three to four
weeks and should be attended to every
morning after the points begin to ap-
pear. When the crop is over the roots
can be thrown out and replaced by fresh
ones. The same "hotbed will retain heat
long enough to force several batches.

The A. J. Brown Seed Co., of Grand
Rapids, has leased an adjoining double
store and is installing bean picking ma
chines which will give a capacity of two
carloads of beans a day.

Several shipments of s Is in bond

from Europe to Chicago have arrived
this week. It is thought that this year
the importers viiii not have as much trou-
ble clearing seeds as they had last v.ui
and year before.

John Scheepers, of Hillegom, Hol-
land, will exhibit a new tuberous rooted
begonia at the St. Louis World's Fair,
it being his intention to offer it to the
American trade next year. Mr. Sehee-
pers is now in New York.

Five dollars per bushel seems to be
the prevailing value placed upon the
canners' varieties of sweet corn. No
sales of any account have been made at
this price, but some owners of the ar-
ticle .are holding stiff for it.

I\ Chicago the past week some of the
pickle men expressed a willingness to
|.ii -I. r.n per pound for Chicago Pick-
ling cucumber seed; $2.50 per pound was
asked for 200 pounds of this variety,
but the deal was not closed.

It is stated that D. V. Buirell, tho
Rocky Ford, Colo., seedsman who went
t.i Chicago a week or two back to be
i naie. I at the Pasteur Institute for a
bite from a mad dog, has returned home
and that the treatment was successful.

Philadelphia. — There has been quite
a perceptible lull in business the past
week. All lines, with the exception of
bulbs, have been very quiet. Traveling
men report very little doing and some of
ne been as far west as Denver,
Col. With the uncertainties of being
able to secure stock of many kinds of
melons, cucumbers, beans and sweet corn,
together without any definite idea as to
the probable prices that are likely to rule
later, buyers do not seem inclined to. or-
der until the last minute.

C. P. Coy & son, Waterloo, Neb., have
sent out the following: "As our cucum-
ber crops are now being harvested aud
received, we are meeting with serious
disappointments. In fact, some varieties
that promised fairly good results are giv-
ing us very little seed indeed. We had
sufficient fruits in sight on the grouud
to make previous estimates good, or near-
ly so, but are now finding that from one-
half to two-thirds of the seed in the
fruits is of unmerchantable quality, be-
ing light, chaffy, and undeveloped. Some

is that we hoped to make a small

showing on we will not be able to make
any delivery whatever, while indications
cow point to a decrease of thirty to fifty
i .i cent below former estimates all along
the line. The situation at present is
such that it is impossible to make an in-
telligent estimate until the crops are ac-
tually in the warehouse and milled up.
We regret that we cannot give something
definite as to deliveries, but be prepared
for e\t reme shortages.

THE LANDRETH FAILURE.
On November 6 Bayard Henry was ap-
pointed receiver for the firm of D. Land-
reth & Sons, Philadelphia, the oldest seed
house in America. A meeting of the
creditors was held on July 20 and a
committee appointed to investigate the
affairs of the firm in hopes that
a way out of its financial troubles might
be found. This committee found the mi
secured liabilities to be $123,946.64.
I.'.al -Mir i- iiwnod subject to mortgages
of $155,000, which leaves little equity.
The assets were estimated at $134,197.36
as a going concern or at $53,545.98 at
forced' sale. It was recommended that
the creditors accept settlement at fifty
per cent of their claims in notes matur-
ing in installments up to July 15, 1905,
but this was not acceptable to some of
the banks involved, and the bankruptcy
proceedings have resulted. The business
was established in 17S4, by David Land-
reth, and has since been conducted by
members of the family.

Here are made the Ribbons which are so well and so
favorably known to discerning florists. The "Right Rib-
bons" for your use- quality, colors, widths. When you
save all between profits, you get quality— and pay less
than formerly. "Holly" color will be much in demand
for your Thanksgiving and Christmas work. Write for
samples of this or anything else in ribbons.

opening on Wednesday, November 5,
and continuing until .Sunday night. The
weather was not favorable, yet the at-
tendance was good. There was the usual
large display of specimen bush plants,
the Boston show always excelling all
others in this particular. The showing
of cut blooms was also up to the highest
standard, although not many of this sea-
son's novelties were on display. The ex-
hibitors were, as heretofore, principally
the private growers of the vicinity, in-

i hiding .1. S. Bailey, E. S. Converse. H.
Dumaresq, E. A. Clark. Jas. Nicol, Mis.
J. L. Gardner, .1. E. Rothwell, Miss E.

the highest award possible in the gift of this Society, your Committee can make no
further award at this time, but we wish to say that another year has only fuither

You will sell lots of plants for Thanksgiving-. We have a little wrinkle that will help you
sell them and earn your customers' cash and thanks easily. It is a new creation ot our own:

Our CELLULOID, WATERPROOF, EMBOSSED AND ACCORDEON PLAITED j
CREPE PAPERS, in many tints, with which you can produce harmonious effects. It is the •
finest thing of its kind ever offered. We predict this paper will have a great run of popular favo:
this season. Better be in the lead by getting some NOW. You will thank us for this suggestion.

Remember also that we have some new ideas in BASKETS for Thanksgiving dinner table as well as standard kinds.

Up to last week Wednesday evening
we had fine summer weather, with open
cars on all the street car lines. Sinn-
then we have had rain and snow, with
real winter went her. which has caused a
little let-up in the nit .it rosea and car-
nations, and it certainly was welcome
to the larger growers, who have been in
lull crop, and could net move the cut at

The wholesale florists report business
for the past week as being poorer limn
that of last July and August, and good
carnations could be bought for $7. oil per
1,000, and roses from $10 to $15 per
1,000. Chrysanthemums ran from $3 to
$10 per 100 and were slow sellers a1 any
price.

Notes.

Brainier & Sen are well satisfied with
natural gas for fuel, and claim that
they get much better results from it than
they did last year from good coal. They
have been cutting some very nice mums,
and fortunately have had a steady run
of funeral work that has used all of then-
stock as soon as it was fit to cut.

J. Kirsehner has decided not to put
the gas in this year and has piled up a
fine lot of coal that will last him this
winter. He has been doing a nice busi-
ness the past week and has used up all
the cut flowers sent in from his place at
South Euclid.

F. W. Ziechmann has the natural gas
under his boilers and expects to effect a
large saving in his fuel bill. His mums
are a little late this year.

Gordon Gray is cutting some very fine
mums this season and keeps them moving
out on orders. E.

MONTREAL.

It is with pleasure that 1 record the
largest attendance the club has had for
many a day, November 2. The boys also
are really active in securing new candi-
dates; in fact, two new members were
elected, Messrs. Arthur Robertson, su-
perintendent of Westmount park, and
Ernest Beadburry, of Outremont. D.
J. Sinclair, of Toronto, who offers to
make an exhibit of florists' supplies at
our next chrysanthemum show, was re-
ceived with pleasure. A paper from Mr.
Kean, treating on roses, was well appre-
ciated ; it was unfortunate that the gen-
tleman was absent through illness.

We are having ideal weather, and if it
continues for a few days more we will
surely make our chrysanthemum show a
success.

The young but prosperous Lachine
Horticultural Society, at its annual meet-
ing, elected to the presidential chair
T. J. Church. C. A. Smitz was chosen
vice-president and Gabriel Vreugde sec-
retary and treasurer. The society de-
cided to give its annual dinner on De-
cember 12 and all the boys of Montreal
will be present at that event.

PROFITABLE BUSINESS.

Do your customers know that you can
execute orders for the prompt delivery
of cut flowers or floral designs for any
occasion, anywhere in the United States"?
Why not let them know? Such business
is easily handled and affords a fair profit.

Many leading retailers display neat
signs in their windows announcing that
they can deliver flowers in any city in
the United States for funerals or "any
other purpose. Another way would be to
print such a sentence on bills and let-
ter heads, or a neatly printed card
might be enclosed in each package where
the proprieties would permit, or it might
be mailed to your list of customers in
the form of an announcement. As soon
as it becomes known that you can de-
liver funeral pieces a thousand miles
away at a few hours ' notice you will
have a steady call for such service.

The page of "Leading Eetail Flor-
ists" which appears regularly in this
paper affords the means of "filling or-
ders in every principal city in the United
States. This page is open only to firms
of known standing and whose equip-
ment is adequate to meet any calls of
this character. Most of them already
do a considerable amount of business
on mail or telegraphic orders'.

Bushville, Ind. — A good-sized addi-
tion to the City Greenhouses during the

facilities. With a fine lot of 'mums
they find trade good.

he is reported to have lifted a erop writh-

seed .1 W Maiden also topped his
plants when they had grown a few inches
and planted the cuttings just as though
they were pelargoniums. Each eye
served to start a plant, and lie was able
to plant an acre of land with L75 pounds
of seed. The plants were set thirty
inches apart, in rows thirty-two inches
asunder. Of course, to make a success
of this method it is necessary t,. begin
early, not later than March, because the
cuttings must be nice little plants in
pots by the time for planting outdoors.

things are pursuing their usual course,
with no unusual features in the business
situation.

Everett, Wash. — A Seattle florist is
trying to do business here, and the re-
sult is price-cutting, which leaves no
profit for anybody.

I recently saw a copy of Scott's
Manual and don't understand how any
up-to-date florist can afford to do with-
out it; I enclose $5; send me a copy at
once. — A. L. Kaub, Easton, Pa.

We feel that we could not get along
without the Review, as it gives us valu-
able information we need every day in
our business. — Adgate & Son, Warren,
Ohio.

We enclose a dollar for another year
of the Beview. Your paper we consider
the best paper, for both the experienced
and inexperienced, of any of the florists'
papers; we could not think of doing busi-
ness without. — W. J. Miller & Son, Pon-

Following the report of the judges

gressman .1. .1. Feeley spoke entertain

BUFFALO.
The all important event of the week
just elose.l was, of course, the H. A.
Meldrmn show. Sou hear frequently
from In-other florists who never would
give ns support when ,.ur Florists' Club

should have to depend on a department
store to hold a floral exhibition. If t itts-
bure, Cleveland, Detroit and other cities

if they do persist in holding shon - and
putting their hands deep in their pockets
to make up the deficits. The writer be-
lieves public exhibition-, of our products
do help the business all alone' the line,
and if all in the trade would help the
cause the burden would be light. Hut
they do not. so we can see nothing but
;. benefit to us when an enterprising, lib-
eral firm, such as the II. A. Meldrum r ■_
lias proved to be, has t lie pluck and busi-

insight to relieve us from all financial

anxiety and give bettei premiums than
anj Florists'- Club ever hopes to.

It was a sue. -ess iii .-\ erv sen I the

vis

t loin morning to night, ami here i- a \ ei \

g I glace to say that the firm was so

well pleased with results that they will
double the space for exhibits ami double
the amount of premiums in 1904.

\ feature that was very gratifying
was the number of brother florists who
came from many points within a hundred
miles, and some much farther. I know
I missed many, but here are some who
came and were well pleased; Mr. Hill.
Jr., of Richmond, I ml., just like Papa,
inly taller and handsomer; Mr. Baur, of
Erie, Pa.; Mr. Bennett, in charge of
Nathan Smith >y Son's exhibit; A. Krue-
ger, of Meadville, Pa.; John Eudy, of
Elmira; W. C. Rockwell, Bradford,' Pa :
Roderick Camer. . I '• t - Lj ons, I leot -•

& Son, .it Loekpi ri ; Mr. . raig, of Gen
eya; Mr. Michael, of Dansville, besides
the state!} judge, Geo. K. Fancourt, of
Wilkesbarre, and on Friday, much to our
pleasure, turned up I'resident-elo.-t Phil

Br. itmeyer and President Geo. Rackham.

A feature of the exhibit which [.leased
the public much was the dinner tables
set with full equipment of silver, glasses,
linen, favors, etc., with chrysanthemum
I. .nation. Mr. Breitrneyer and other

gentlemen wl ertainly ought to know,

pronounced them equal to any exhibit of

the kind they had ever

I trust it paid them, and supposing if
did, we are still nud. i an obligation to
the E. (i. Hill Co. and Nathan Smith &
s.oi for the splendid displays of cut
blooms they sent. In the class for 100
blooms, not less than twenty-dye varie-
ties, $50, $30 and $20, there wi ire some
great blooms and keen competition. In
the Hill collection we noticed, of great

Calvat, enormous old gold; La Fusion,
flesh pink; Lucy Evans, lavender pink;

H. W. Buckl line yellow ; MeEneroy,

'i' Nathan Smith 's collet tion

noticeable among many fine varieties was
Dr. Oronhyatekha, a' grand large vel-
lo-n (but the name ought to kill the man
and the Bower) ; Col. Baden Powell, old
rose pink; Silver Queen, light oink; Daz
zler, bronze; M. C. Niccolaud, incurved
white, and again. La Fusion. This firm
also exhibited a vase ot Golden ige,
a flower of the Applet. ... tj p.- and the
richest yellow. Mr. Marquisee of Syra-
cuse, was g I enough to ?end a vase

of his famous Flamingo carnation which
showed up in fine form and for this sea-
son a wonderful stem. And then came
frnm iw,.,.;t twenty-five beautiful flow-
ers of Breitrneyer & Sons' nameless pink
lose. ' ' A hundred dollars in gold for a

and I dare saj thought that could be
easih earned. If others can grow this
r..se us Messrs. Breitrneyer do and show
such blooms from plants propagated in
April, then its a great acquisition.

On Friday evening the .-raft gathered
■ it a long table. Most of the visitors had
escaped, except one, a notable one, the
president-elect of the S. A. P., and Phil
made us all feel good, not alone by his
presence; but the good and sensible talk
he gave. As for the rest it was very in-

display of carnations ever seen al anj
of our fall shows. Onh Btandard vari

but nearly all of the new candidates were
shown ni large h.ts. The I-'. Dorner &

seedlings in lesser quantity. E. Witter-

previouslj shown here, both in quantity
and quality. Of course the new ones
w.-ie th. center of attraction and most of
them looked very promising. Breitmeyer's
new pink rose attracted much atten-
tion and the $100 offered for a name
kept the crowds guessing alone that line.
This looks like a good thine and the
judges unhesitatingly declared that it
would 'ill a long felt want, as more vari-
ety is badly needed in roses. K. G. Hill
showed several of his new varieties, one
of them capturing the prize of $50, and
will be named Rosalind Orr English.
This is a beautiful deep but bright pink
sort of great promise, Mr. Hill says it
has a great pedigree. Among the others

Was a fine vase of his yellow seedling.
A fine |iink one captured the prize for
best forcing variety. He also showed
several of his Liberty seedlings and a
vase of Mildred Grant, a beautiful, deli-
cately tinted variety of white and pink
color. E. T. Grave showed a bloom of a
pink sport from Liberty.

Heller Bros, put up a large exhibit Oi
Beauties of various lengths and they
made a grand show. They were ar-
ranged on several tables so that the peo-
ple could walk between them, and there
was always a crowd around them. There

wen- as fine as any the writer has e\ei
seen. The blooms were large and well
colored and the foliage as dean as could

On Thursday evening the State Flor-
ists' Society entertained the visiting
florists at a banquet given at the Ger-
man House. About eighty gentlemen
and one lady sat down and partook of
the entertainment, and that it was heart-
ily enjoyed could be seen on all sides.
Vice-President E. A. Nelson introduced
E. G. Hill as toastmaster and he filled
the position as only he can. The other
speakers were Mrs. Vesey, J. D. Car-
mody, W. N. Rudd, E. Wienhoeber, Theo.
Bock, Phil Hauswirth and "Baby" Fo-
ley, all of whom were full of praise for
the show and its management, Messrs.
Rudd and Hauswirth spoke of the effect
the failure to have a show is having on
the 'mum market in Chicago, while Mr.
Bock kept the assembly laughing by tell-
ing how the judges decide a close race
when there is really no perceptible dif-
ference between two lots of blooms. Mr.
Buettner contracted a severe cold on
Wednesday night and was obliged to re-
main at the hotel, which every one re-

gretted very much indeed. After the
feast there was bowling, etc., which was
kept up until a late hour.

The following visitors attended the
show and many of them the banquet:

The annual flower show was a great
success, opening November 11 in Wind-
sor hall. The space was well occupied
and the quality of the material was ex-
cellent. Among the exhibitors were Na-
than Smith & Son, Adrian, Mich.; F. C.
Smith, A. Pinoteau, W. Aleock, T. Pen-
tress, R. W. Whiting, J. Pidduck, W. G.

PHILADELPHIA.

The second day brought the carna-
tions, roses and violets. All these were
well represented. The feature of the rose
exhibit was the vase of twenty-five spe-
cial blooms of Liberty from Edward
Towillj of Roslyn. They were exceed-
ingly well done. Beauty and Edgely
were shown in good form, also a great
number of smaller roses. This exhibit
was very popular. It was often diffi-
.eult to get near the flowers.

The carnations were varied and full
of interest. Peter Fisher had a fine
new scarlet, showing both plant and
blooms as required by the rules. The
increase in the number of fancy sorts
shown was marked. This exhibit was
creditable for the season.

Very few violets were shown, but those
present were fine.

T. H. Norton had some splendid
white. Mrs. Sarah J. Smith added to
her reputation as a grower of choice
singles. A few additions were made to
the show the remaining days.

John Brietmeyer's Sons of Detroit,
sent a bunch of their new pink rose
which was placed in a vase at the foot
of the main stairway, where every one
might see it. On the vase was a card
offering $100 in gold for a name. It is
said 19,999 names were sent in, here is
the twenty thousandth:

Pray number me amone those

Who enter the golden race;
"Phil" offers your lovely rose
The beautiful name of Grace.

There was an effective mantel decora-
tion arranged with chrysanthemums and
foliage by Joseph Kift & Son.

A dinner table was set for twelve with
depressed center, edged with asparagus
and filled with a variety of orchids. The
corsage bunches and boutonnieres were
of violets. This was the work of the
William Graham Co. and was much ad-
mired.

In an alcove on the first floor was a
large circular bed of tulips in full bloom.

should only be used in case a person

FORT SMITH, ARK.

The Fort Smith chrysanthemum show-
was a most pronounced success, for
which many thanks are due to the trade
exhibitors from a distance. California
was represented by C. E. Needham, who
sent the California pepper tree, the red
berries and fern-like foliage of which
are very enduring. Wild smilax was
supplied by Caldwell the Woodsman.
Over 1,500 chyrsanthemum blooms were
represented, by growers many of whom
have a national reputation. Most of the
stock arrived in fine shape and the
judges had a difficult, task.

For twenty-five blooms, not less than
five of a kind, N. Smith &- Son, Adrian.
Mich., were first. Honorable mention
was made of the exhibits of H. W. Buck-
bee, Roekford, 111.; E. G., Hill Co.,, Rich-
mond, Ind.; J. H. Morton, ' Clarksville,
Tenn., and Vaughan 's .Greenhouses.

J. H. Mortotf was first', on white' var-
iety, with Mrs. H- Robinson, II. W.
Bnckbee received honorable mention. .

The Muskogee . Carnation Co. was first
on yellow, with t Appleton, honorable
mention being made of the exhibits of
H. W. Bnckbee, J. H-' Morton and the
Memphis Floral Co.,

The best, novelties were those of H. W.
Buckbee but honorable mention was
given J. H. Morton, who also had the
best single-stemmed plants. Samuel Mur-
ray, Kansas City, showed the best bush
plants, J. H. Morton second. For best
pink the first premium went to E. G.
Hill Co., Richmond, Ind.

On roses, the premium for Beauties

was divided between J. H. Morton and
the Idlewild Greenhouses of Memphis,
the latter being first on Kaiserin.

The first prize for a novelty in carna-
tions was given to J. H. Morton and first
in the general class to the Thompson
Carnation Co., Joliet, 111.

Among exhibitors not competing were
C. Young & Sons Co., St. Louis; J. W.
Vestal & Son, Little Rock ; Wm. Weaver,
So. McAllister, I. T. : A. A. Pantet &
Co., Fort Smith; Miss Lila Rollston, Fay-

CANANDAIGUA, N. Y.

The first annual exhibition of the
Canandaigua Florists' and Gardeners'
Society was held November 5 and 6. As
a show of blooms I might say it was a
decided success, and a better arrange-
ment of the plants and cut blooms is
seldom seen, which was largely due to
the directions of Robert E. Ballantvne.
gardener to Mrs. F. F. Thompson. Mr.
Ballantvne staged a group of foliage
plants and pot chrysanthemums covering
a space of at least 250 feet that I have
never seen equaled. The officiating
judge was Mr. Ballantyne, Sr., of New
York eitv, and his decisions met with the
approval' of all.

ST. PAUL.

The second annual chrysanthemum ex-
hibition by the Ladies' Auxiliary to the
Northwestern Manufacturers' Association
was held in Mozart hall, St. Paul, No-
vember 10 to 13. The quality of the ex-
hibits surpassed those of a year ago but
the show as a whole was not as pretty,
the chief reason for this being the lack
of room to properly display the entries.
The programme was planned to judge

very detrimental to the judging. How-
ever, the show as a whole was successful,
the greatest regret being the lack of
room.

E. F. Lemke had a good general dis-
play, making entries in nearly all classes.
His 'mum design was an eagle with out-
stretched wings poised upon a globe, all
made of white blooms. A star of carna-
tions received great praise. His prize
winning Timothy Eatons were a revela-
tion to many, measuring eight inches or
more in diameter. In violets he easily
won first honors.

Vogt Bros, had a creditable exhibit.
They won several firsts and a number of
seconds. Their display was not as laro-e
as the others, but was generally admired
as much.

L. L. May & Co. had the largest collec-
tion in the hall, making entries in nearly
till chisses. In 'mum plants they easily
lead all others, winning the majority of
firsts in these classes. Their anemone-
flowered varieties were particularly ad-
mired and will most likely be more largely
grown another season. They showed a
star of white 'mums about five feet
across, with an eagle with outstretched
wings depicted on the same in yellow
'mums. A large basket of Bridesmaid
roses was nicely arranged. They showed
a large number of carnations, many more
than the entries called for.

Holm & Olson won more first prizes
than any one. Their display was large
and handsome, their prize winning stand-
ard 'mums from Chicago being especially
admired. These were fully four feet
high by eight or ten in circumference,
each plant bearing as many as 200 flow-
ers. The vase of Mme. Chatenay roses was
especially good. In design they made a
large, waving American flag, on the field
of which an eagle stood. The stripes
were made of white and red carnations
while the stars were in white 'mums on
a field of blue ageratum. Another design,
their prize winner, was a cornucopia of

chrysanthemum plants and blooms the
first day, roses the second day, carna-
tions and violets the third, and designs
and baskets the fourth. It was also in-
tended to display the cut flowers and de-
signs in a separate room from the plants.
But all these plans were changed at al-
most the last minute, and all exhibits
were placed in one room and all judging
done the same day. This prevented one
exhibitor from competing at all and was

'mums on a scroll of the same flowers.
A large specimen plant of Pandamis
Sanderi took first prize in its class.
Piersoni fern easily captured first place.
Aug. S. Swanson made one of the
handsomest exhibits in the hall, the lead-
ing features of which were his palms and
ferns and his designs, all of which cap-
tured prizes. A basket of orchids, con-
sisting of dendrobiums, vandas, pbalaen-
opsis. cypripedium and cattleyas captured

first prize and the admiration of all who
saw it. A larsre panel picture of a vase
of 'mums occupied a prominent position
in the exhibit. The frame was in yellow,
the background white, from which stood
out in bold relief a vase of delicate pink
filled with dark red, the whole contrast-
ing very beautifully. Another tasty de-
sign was a basket of Chatenay roses and
valley standing on a spread or covering
of roses, making a very unique combina-
tion.

The show was not well advertised and
only fairly well patronized. It was made
a society event, with tea and punch
rooms in connection.

On Friday night the florists donated
their exhibition blooms to the manage-
ment, and they were sold at auction,
realizing about $40. Some of the flowers
were in good shape, but sold at a ridicu-
lous price, way below value. Others were
very poor, but brought good prices.

CHRYSANTHEMUM DISEASES.

The following are the most important
portions of the address of Prof. Geo. E.
Stone, of the Hatch Experiment Station,
before the Chrysanthemum Society of
America at the New York meeting No-
vember 11:

The diseases to -which chrysanthemums
are subject are not especially numerous
and, on the whole, the crop must be con-
sidered a tolerably clean one to grow.
Among those diseases which are more or
less common may be mentioned the fol-
lowing:

Powdery Mildew.

Mildew frequently shows itself to a
slight extent on the lower and more ma-
ture leaves of the chrysanthemum. It is
of little consequence, however, to the
careful grower. The mildew is similar
in appearance to that found on roses and
ean, no doubt, if necessary, be checked
by the same means, namely, the applica-
tion of sulphur.

Kust.

Most growers are familiar with the
chrysanthemum rust, although I have no
doubt some of you have had no personal
experience with it. The rust occurs as
small blisters, usually on the underside
of the leaves. These blisters eventually
break open, thus exposing a brownish,
powdery mass. This powdery substance
constitutes uredospores, which are the
only spores known to be produced by
this fungus in this country.

The first appearance of the chrysanthe-
mum rust in America, so far as known,
occurred in Massachusetts during the fall
of 1896, on which occasion it was dis-
covered doing considerable damage to
the plants of George H. Hastings, of
Fitchburg. This outbreak appears to
have been the only one recognized that
year. The next year, however, the rust
became much more widely distributed
and since that time it has spread over a
considerable portion of the United States,
and some growers have experienced quite
a little difficulty from it. It appears to
have occurred in England in 1895, and
on the continent two years later, where
it became rather common. The first two
or three years of the outbreak, in this
country, proved the worst, and at pres-
ent little is heard from the rust in the
east, especially from our largest and
most efficient growers. Its disappearance
appears to be due to two causes; namely,
the discovery and application of cultural
methods which render rust infection less

The Weekly Florists' Review.

common, and the limitation of the fungus
to a single stage (uredo) of existence.
Prof. Arthur, of the Lafayette Experi-
ment Station, has pointed out that the
latter feature is at least somewhat re-
sponsible for its decline. Upon this
point Prof. Arthur writes as follows:

"Another circumstance much in the
cultivator's favor is the propagation of
the disease without the formation of the
customary teleuto spores, or third stage.
Not only does this render the disease far
less persistent, but without doubt indi-
cates that it is less vigorous in its at-
tacks. In general, when a rust is con-
fined to the uredo forms for a number
of generations, its vitality is much re-
duced, and also its power of injuring the
crop. So long as the teleuto spores do
not make an appearance in this country,
the careful cultivator may feel assured
that a moderate amount of timely effort
will enable him to rid his establishment
of the rust."

That cultural methods have also had a
great deal to do with the disappearance
of the rust is evident from the fact that
our most skillful growers of chrysanthe-
mums have never had it but one or two
years, and some not at all, while less
skillful, and less painstaking growers
have been more or less subject to it everv
year. From the first, we have never ap-
prehended any very serious trouble from
the rust because we believed that some
cultural method could be devised that
would render it less troublesome.

About four years after the rust had
made its appearance in our state, we sent
out a number of circulars to chrysanthe-
mum growers requesting information
upon various points. The answers given
to this circular showed that the rust was
more widely distributed and most de-
structive the second year following its ar-
rival, and from that time it decreased
in vigor and abundance. One-third of the
growers stated that they never had the
rust on their plants, and were familiar
with it only as they had seen it on other
stock, while others had only experienced
a slight infection one year. One florist
who cultivates 40,000 plants, states that
he has not had the rust since 1898, and at
that time he had it only to a very slight
extent. The amount of infection which
has been prevalent varied from one per

cent to fifty per cent, the latter figure
being exceptionally high, for very few
have had even twenty -five per cent as a
maximum amount of infection.

The financial damage is by no means
proportional to the amount of infection,
and in most instances it amounts to noth-
ing.

Most gardeners agree that weak stock
is the most susceptible to rust; and if
weak, infected plants are allowed to re-
main in close proximity to strong, healthy
ones, the latter will subsequently become
infected. The method of preventing rust
consists in handpicking the affected
leaves, selecting clean, strong stock, dis-
carding susceptible varieties, and inside
culture. If these suggestions are carried
out the rust can be practically eliminated.

In regard to inside culture during the
summer, we find that many excellent
growers lay much stress on this practice,
and from our observations we consider it
very essential in order to obtain plants
free from rust. The reason that inside
culture results in less infection is due to
the avoidance of mists and dews on the
foliage, hence furnishing less favorable
opportunity for rust spores to germinate
and cause infection. Care should also be
taken to keep all unnecessary water off
the foliage in cultivation in the green-
house.

Most growers agree that the chrysan-
themum rust is of little consequence, and
others look upon it as a thing of the past.
There are a few, however, who have not
succeeded in subduing it, and who still
think it a serious disease. Some have re-
sorted to spraying, with results that
amount to little more than partial sup-
pression. It appears from our own ob-
servations, as well as from those obtained
from the most successful growers of this
plant, that the proper remedy lies in the
judicious selection of healthy, rust-free
stock, and inside cultivation. Give the
plants plenty of air and keep the soil in
good physical condition. If, however,
any of the leaves become infected, thev
should be removed and burned immedi-
ately; and if a plant is badly affected, it
should be destroyed. In whatever manner
the plants are cultivated, whether in-
doors or out, endeavor to keep the dew
and moisture off the foliage as much as
possible.

Stem-Rot.

More or less trouble from stem-rot has
been experienced by chrysanthemum
growers in the last few years, and it is
considered by some as a serious trouble.
It is characterized by a slow fading and
withering of the leaves, beginning to-
ward the bottom and gradually working
up the stem. The flower develops poorly
or not at all, and the whole plant finallv
dies prematurely. The cause of the dis-
ease is a fungus which grows in the stem
and fills up the large ducts or vessels
through which the water must pass in
coming up from the roots. The fungus
giving rise to this trouble is a species of
fusarium, similar forms of which cause
like diseases iu other species, and there
can be but little doubt that the plant is
first attacked from the soil, whence the
fungus spreads into the stem and on un
through it to a considerable height. As
the pores become more and more clogged
with the fungous threads, the water sup-
ply to the leaves is diminished, and con-
sequently they gradually wither away and
die. It is noticeable that this disease ap-
pears most commonly as a result of con-
ditions favoring damping off. Where
young plants are crowded in flats or beds,
those in the center are generally the ones
to show the trouble. This is likewise
true with the other diseases of this class,
and such conditions should be avoided.
The soil is to be looked upon as the
chief source of infection in all such trou-
bles. There is little danger of contagion
in well-rooted plants by spores in the
air, as with rusts, mildew and similar dis-
eases. Healthy propagating stock, fresh
soil, avoidance of over-crowding to pre-
vent damping off, and hygienic condi-
tions, are the most effectual means of
controlling this trouble.

Other fungous diseases of chrysanthe-
mums have been noted, particularly the
anthracnose and two-leaf spots, but we
have had no experience with them, a hey
are foliage diseases and in some instances
they have been reported as threatening.
Where too close planting occurs, causing
a deficiency in light and air, there is not
infrequently a loss of foliage, especially
of the lower leaves, and fungi occasion-
ally found on such leaves appear to be
mostly of secondary importance.

In conclusion, we will state that the
combating of diseases characteristic of
greenhouse crops should be as a rule,
along cultural lines rather than other
methods of treatment, and we have faith
enough in the skill and knowledge of our
American florists to believe that they
will, by this means, be able to master in
time all difficulties which may occur.

IMPRESSIONS OF INDIANAPOLIS.

The chrysanthemum show held during
the past week at Tomilson hall, Indianap-
olis, took us all by surprise and many
were the complimentary remarks of the
numerous visitors. I shall not attempt,
however, to dwell upon the various fea-
tures of the show, nor do I wish to speak
about the individual exhibitors and their
most meritorious exhibits, leaving that
part to your able correspondent. To me
the general impression of the show seems
worthy of note. And right here I can
scarcely refrain from paying my compli-
ments to the Bertermanns, both father
and son, whose untiring efforts, able
management and executive ability were
responsible for the marvelous success
achieved.

What has impressed us all is the fact
of the process of the management (if I

conditions of the past summer which in
many instances caused more or less loss
of plants to the grower, the supply of
bloom is unusually large for this time
of year. The warm weather of this fall
has worked wonders among plants which
at housing time were considered doubtful,
and if you have practiced judicious top-
ping and given general good treatment,
Thanksgiving will see the carnation in
better demand and giving its accustomed

From the fact that trouble through
stem-rot in the field was so wid.
it would seem that indications point to
weather conditions as contributing largelv
to the development of this disease, rather
than system of planting and cultivating,
that is whether planted moderately close
or widely apart on a level or on ridges
and cultivated either by hand or horse.
I have always advocated and practiced
planting moderately close (sis to eight
inches in the row and rows twelve to
eighteen inches apart) cultivating with
wheel and hand hoes. Close investigation
and repeated inquiries in this section dur-
ing the past two months fail to show

date, I can say the stem and calyx are
the acme of perfection. Tin

colder weather, when I hope to say some-
thing about its blooming and keeping

at the present time cannot be discussed
with justice to what promises to be an
advance in its color.

Richmond Gem.

I have also six plants of Bichmond

scarlet). Since benching the plants have
made rapid growth and bloomed early.

of the richest shade imaginable. The size

tion .lass, but thus far flowers have av-
eraged two ami one-half inches. Its ear-
liness will commend it to those who have

CAUSE OF SHORT STEMS.

Please tell me what to do to make
my carnation stems long. The plants
have lots of buds, but the stems are very
short. I syringe about twice a month,
when the w"eather is bright, and I don't
let them get. very dry before watering. I
trv to give all the air I can. J. J.

Your question sounds like a very sim-
ple one, but you do not give enough data
to work out a very satisfactory answer, 1
fear. There are many reasons why your
carnations might make a lot of short
stems at this time, and possibly I may
mention in this letter the one that really
was the cause in your case. I do not
know what varieties you are growing;
you are growing such varieties
as vli- l.awson, Mrs. Bradt and Glacier,
and it would only be natural for the
stems to be rather short as yet. How
early did you plant them in the houses?
If you did not plant until as late as
September you cannot reasonably expect
i , 1 1 1 - from most varieties. Did
your plants take hold when you planted
them? If they suffered very much they
would not make as long stems on the
first crop of blooms as they would in
case they suffered but little. 1'erhaps
your soil is not rich enough to produce a
strong, luxuriant growth, and of course
that would tell on your stems, too.

To get long stems as well as fine
blooms at this time of the year it is es-
sential that you plant early, in good soil
and see that your plants do not suffer
much from the transplanting. The first
of September should see your planting all
done. Of course varieties differ in the
length of stem they produce, and you will
also find that a very large, bushy plant
will usually throw shorter stems the first
crop than a medium sized plant will. The
reason is obvious. The large number of
shoots drawing upon a crippled root sys-
tem fail to get enough nourishment for
so many shoots to grow to their full size,
in the larger plants usually suffer
more from transplanting and take longer
to fully recover, while all this time the
shoots are making a feeble effort to grow.
If you have ever tried the indoor culture
you will know that the plants that were
grown inside all summer will make longer
stems than those from the field up to
about January 1. In my notes earlier
in the season you will find my reason for
advocating early planting, and I will not
enlarge upon the advantages of it now,
although I have an idea that that is where
you made your mistake.

Seasonable Hints.

As the season for propagating ap-
proaches every preparation should ba
made so that nothing may be wanting
to ensure complete success. The piping
in the propagating house should be
looked over, tested and any defects made
good. The benches should be overhauled
and put into good repair, so that no ac-
cident may occur after the cuttings are
in. Ventilators should be readjusted and
put into good working order and a lib-
eral supply of sand or other propagating
medium secured. Having all these requi-
sites, materially facilitates the real work
of propagating. The stock should now
be looked over and all the mixtures prom-
inently tagged so that the mixture may
not be perpetuated.

In houses containing Brides or Brides-
maids, if the varieties chance to get
mixed, it is impossible to distinguish
them unless they are in bloom, they so
closely resemble each other in habit and
foliage, so that if we want them true to
name we must label them when they are
in bloom. All young stock should be
true to name so that we may know ex-
actly what we are planting and if we
have surplus stock for sale how much
more satisfactory to both buyer and
seller if this is the case.

Such varieties as are wanted for sum-
mer blooming should be propagated now.
There is usually an abundance of good
propagating wood at this season, which
roots easily, and if handled properly will
make nice thrifty plants for benching
in February, which will give them ample
time to get into flowering condition by
Memorial day.

The soil for this planting should now
be under cover so that it may be in good
condition at that time and so give the
young stock a fair chance to start well.
If the soil is left outside it has every
chance to be too wet at that season and
if in that condition the young stock will
get a cheek from which it takes them
a long time to recover, checking their
vigor and curtailing the growing season.

Kaiserin, Golden Gate, Ivory, Libertv
and Chatenay are among the best varie-
ties for this purpose, Ivory being reallv
the finest of all the summer blooming
whites, keeping up size and purity of
color even during the hottest spells.

COVENT GARDEN MARKET.

It is usual to hear growers complain
of dull trade, but we think that during
the past few weeks the ' ' grumble ' ' has
been quite justified, says the Gardeners'
Chronicle, London. At closing time a
few mornings ago many of the stands
were still filled with pot plants, and cut
flowers were as plentiful. Among pot
plants chrysanthemums were those most
in demand. It is remarkable that really
good stuff should be confined to so few
stands. One grower, who does Soleil
d'Octobre well, was making from 2s 6d
to 3s 6d each for his best plants; 12s to
18s per dozen for useful plants appeared
to be the average prices ; of course there
was a good deal of ordinary stuff sold at
considerably less.

Begonia Gloire de Lorraine on several
stands, some of the finest plants I have
ever seen, were making ISs per dozen ;
but it is yet too early for this to go free-
ly; 8s to 10s per dozen was asked for
good plants in 48 's, but there were a good
many remaining unsold. Of heaths, gra-

cilis is the only variety yet in in quan-
tity. Cyclamen and primulas are com-
ing in, but they do not appear to be
much in demand. The same may be said
of bouvardias and marguerites. There
will be little improvement in the plant
trade until frost has cleared off outdoor
flowers.

In cut flowers chrysanthemums are the
most conspicuous, and there has been a
fair trade for these; the blooms of mid-
dle size command the greatest amount of
attention. The early varieties that were
disbudded made good prices. One
grower, Mr. Shawyer, who has been
sending about 300 blooms to market
daily, tells mo that they have made from
Is to 2s 6d per dozen blooms. I may
mention that these were chiefly new va-
rieties of his own raising. Elaine is
still a favorite with the growers for mar-
ket, and though generally coming in later,
some good blooms have already been on
sale. Goacher 'a Crimson seems likely to
take the first place in its class; and
Horace Martin is one of the best of the
yellows. A. Hemslet.

A WESTERN GARDENER'S NOTES.

II.

Continuing my travels as recounted in
my recent notes, I visited Fairmount
park, Philadelphia, where the grounds
are extensive and the Horticultural hall
immense. They have many grand old
plants, which, however, show a lack of
care. Mr. Smith, the foreman, has but
eight men for outside and inside work,
while, in my opinion, he should have that
many for the inside alone.

P. A. B. Widener, of Ogontz, has a
large range of glass and grows every-
thing for home use. One house is devoted
to or'chids and several to chrysanthe-
mums. Two small Italian gardens near
his residence are filled with palms, bay
trees, etc.

The commercial establishment of H. A.
Dreer, Eiverton, N. J., is devoted for the
most part to palms, stove plants and aza-
leas. The palms vary in size from those
in 2-ineh pots to those requiring tubs.
They also have a fine assortment of water
lilies, worthy a visit from anyone who is
interested in their growth. Mr. Eisele,
the manager, extended me every possible
courtesy.

The beds of fine crotons and fancy-
leaved caladiums at Girard College, which
I had the privilege of seeing under the
guidance of Superintendent Huster,
proved very interesting.

At South Orange, N. J., I found Mr.
Manda and Mr. Macrorie very busy hous-
ing their plants in the newly completed
buildings. After dining with Mr. Manda
we walked through his beautiful
grounds. He carries a fine line of nur-
sery stock and is doing much landscape
work. In all his houses he suspends
orchids from the roof, between the other
plants. He is certainly a champion in
growing Dendrobium Wardianum. Al-
though it was raining heavily, Mr.
Manda drove with me to the home of H.
Graves, whose gardener, Mr. Thomas,
makes a specialty of orchids. Several
houses of these beautiful flowers bear
evidence of scientific care.

Messrs. Lager & Hurrell received me
very kindly at their place in Summit, N.
J., and showed me through what seems
to be a model orchid growing establish-
ment. Their plants are all healthy and
are made up of eattleyas and every other
leading variety. Some very scarce va-
rieties are also to be found there.

At Madison, N. J., I had the pleasure
of meeting Mr. Herrington, superin-
tendent of the Twombly place, and of
taking dinner with him. He grows
grapes, chrysanthemums and orchids for
sale, and has some four or five houses
in eattleyas. The latter are i" ^-<skets
attached to the roof. In the middle of
each li.mse is a rail running from end to
end; from this rail and on wheels is a
sort of step-ladder which the men can
move from place to place while water-
ing the plants. One large house is de-
voted to cypripediums and another to
chrysanthemums. Mr. Herrington has
a new yellow carnation, not yet named,
which will be a standard. There are two
houses for Adiantum Farleyense; his
NirniiuMi azaleas are from six to eight
feet in diameter, with stems as thick as
one's arm. Bare conifers, Cedrus ja-
ponica, and the finest bay trees in the
world are seen here. The landscape at
the home of Mr. Twombly is wonderful,
the house is exceptionally fine and the
view over the valley charming.

Mr. Duekham showed me the premises
of D. Willis James, for whom he is gar-
dener. They have orchids in all varieties,
stove plants, new crotons and grapes in
fine condition, and Mr. Duekham has a
beautiful pink chrysanthemum which will
come out under his name.

Julius Eoehrs, of Butherford, N. J.,
has twenty-six houses in orchids. I
found him very busv because of the

floods that had" filled his no11 Mr.

Koehrs has been doing some experiment-
ing with Belgian leaf mold. He told me
that with Dendrobium Phalaenonsis in
fern roots he had no success, but that
those now in leaf mold are exceptionally
fine. I can see no advantage in the use
nf in~t ~,ni,i -with eattleyas. While here
I saw two houses of Ardisia crenulata
that have reached a degree of perfection
not to be surpassed here or abroad.

Mr. Schlegel, Bay Ridge, Brooklyn,
has a collection of eattleyas which his
gardener claims to be the largest in the
country. His several houses of plants
are in splendid condition. One house is
filled with all kinds of phalaenopsis. All
of his flowers are for market. The es-
tate of Hicks Arnold. 84 Central Park,
New York, has the finest lot of cypri-
pediums that I have ever seen.

The Bronx Botanical Garden has a
fine range of glass, and the plants are
fair. A good start has been given them,
and with continual care this should be-
come one of the finest botanical gardens
in the country. They have here a very
fine museum with microscopes for the
use of students.

Lenox, Mass., presents the finest land-
scape planting and scenery with hill sur-
roundings that I saw while away. I vis-
ited several places, among them that of
Mrs. Westinghouse, Mr. Norman, gar-
dener. She has two houses of cypripe-
diums. Her place is like Versailles, with
fountains, etc. ,and an attractive drive,
as hard as rock, through an avenue of
pine trees. At Mr. Cook's place, Mr.
Thompson, gardener, they have some
choice orchids and cut flowers, and grow
fine peaches under glass. The piazza of
the mansion is beautifully decorated
with palms and flowering plants, for
which an immense reserve supply is al-
ways under cultivation. With two sym-
metrical Italian gardens, about 100 bay
trees in all shapes, and carpet beds here
and there, the place must present a beau-
tiful scene in season. The large num-
ber of greenhouses belonging to J. Sloan

NEW YORK.

Meeting of the C. S. A.

Last week's meeting of the C. S. A.t
was held in an improvised room in the
great hall, where over fifty members en-
.jo.nciI the addresses of the president and
experts, and enthusiastically demanded

the lection of Arthur Herrington, a

fitting tribute to the unceasing energy
he has displayed in behalf of the society
throughout the year. All the other offi-
cers were re-elected, except the vice-presi-
dent, this honor falling upon Elmer D.
Smith, whose magnificent gift of the
chrysanthemum records was unanimously
aecorded the hearty thanks of the mem-
bers. The president's address was an
interesting and practical effort, and was
well received. Secretary Lemon 's report
included particulars as to the records
showing among the 2,500 varieties of
'mums, 1,358 American varieties, 1,029
importations distributed in this country,
thirty-three synonyms and eighty-two
sports. These will be fully incorporated
in the published records of the society's
convention.

Prof. Geo. E. Stone, of Hatch Experi-
ment Station, read his essay on "The
Diseases of the Chrysanthemum," and
was followed in the after discussion by
Mr. O'Mara, Prof. Craig and others. F.
W. Taylor's invitation to St. Louis next
year was read and appreciated, but the
general desire to hold the next meeting
in the east was evident, and the execu-
tive committee, in whose hands the de-
cision is placed, will doubtless agree
upon either New York or Boston for
1904.

Mr. O'Mara's interesting criticisms of
the 'mum exhibits and especially of the
varieties Lord Salisbury and Mrs. Thir-
kell, were very interesting. The presi-
dent's address was thoroughly discussed.
Messrs. Eackham, Smith, Wood, Scott
and O'Mara participating. The whole
meeting was particularly harmonious.
The prospects are bright for an in-
creased interest, both in the convention
and exhibition in 1904.

Notes of the Show.

The possibility of a show that will
pay, and draw the crowds and encour-
age the expert plantsmen has been fully
demonstrated. Now that the ice has
been broken there is no good reason why
every recurring show should not see
grander results than its predecessor.

The prize list gives details, but con-
veys no idea of the wonderful blooms
shown. Never have such magnificent
blooms been seen in this country, but at
the head of the procession, it may safely
be said, were Wm. Duckham, Dr. Engle-
hardt and Percy Plumridge.

The flowers from W. Wells, of Eng-
land were in very good condition, con-
sidering their long journey and served to

show the enterprise of this gentleman,
who also sent an exhibit to the 1902
show.

Leonard Barron handled the press de-
partment well. All the daily papers gave
the show much space.

The dinner Wednesday evening was
given by Mr. Herrington to the visitors.
Among those present were Philip Breit-
nd Geo. A. Eackham, Detroit;
Fred Lemon, Richmond; E. D. Smith,
Adrian; C. W. Johnson. Eockford; Judge
Vesey, Fort Wayne; J; E. Fothering-
ham, Tarrytown; Elija Wood, Messrs.
O'Mara, Totty, Troy, Lager, May.
Weathered, Maynard, Manda and oth-
ers most of whom had something to sa\
complimentary to the show and the man
to whose efforts the success was largely
due.

Among the best carnations were Flam-
ingo, White Lawson, Mrs. Patten. Alba-
tross, Bride, Lawson and Enchantress.

Pierson 's 100 Beauties, not for com-
petition, were a grand lot and were at
their best the closing day.

H. T. Clinkaberry 's twenty-five varie-
ties of eypripediums attracted much at-
tention.

The seventeen large plants in H. W.
Bnckbee's exhibit were presented to the
American Institute and his cut blooms
sent to the hospitals.

M. A. Bowe has made the first prize
offer for the show of 1904, a silver cup,

vase of 100
irieties, to be
in to become

value $50, for the

the property of the

Boehr's great bank of palms and flow-
ering plants was a most beautiful groun,
artistically arranged.

The enterprise of such men as Buck-
bee, Smith & Son pjid the E. G. Hill
Co. cannot be too highly commended.
Their exhibits were greatly appreciated
by the management.

The Market.

Society will be in evidence all this
week for the great annual horse show
is on and orchids and violets will now
have their day. May be this week will
inaugurate the cold weather, the end of
the long depression in the market, and
the beginning of better times. Let us
pray for so desirable a consummation.

The quality of the violets now reach-
ing the market is unexcelled. Shipments
to many of the leading wholesalers ag-
gregate 20,000 daily, and are constantly
increasing. The price for specials, in
bunches of 100, all perfect flowers, is
$1.50. Orchids are held at higher prices
again, and valley also has touched $■*
per 100 for the best. It looks as though
the tide was coming in.

Various Notes.

The "Father of Greater New York,"
Andrew H. Green, was murdered by an
insane negro on Saturday. His record
includes the laying out of Central park,
the planning of the great boulevard svs-
tem, and of Morningside and Eiverside
parks, the latter for location one of the
most beautiful in the world, and Niagara
park at the Falls. Mr. Green
years of age, and one of New York 's
grandest citizens. A great public monu-
ment will be erected to his memory.

Geo. Cotton, a member of the New
York Florists' Club and one of the old-
time gardeners, with a host of friends, is

suffering from pleuropneumonia at the
hospital in Yonkers, and is not expected
to recover.

The exhibit of cacti, 350 varieties, at
the flower show, by F. Wienberg, at-
tracted much attention. Some of the
specimens were "fearfully and wonder-
fully made."

Congratulations are due the popular
Scotchman, John Burnie, on rounding his
half century. He looks "vera weel" and
like lasting another fifty years.

The ducal wedding of last week de-
pended for its decorations at the house
on Small & Sons, and at the church on
Thorley. An error in my last attributed
these to Hodgson.

The Ozone Nurseries, of Ozone Park,
L. L, are elated over the rapid develop-
ment of their business, and the exception-
ally large fall trade. Their importa-
tions of forcing azaleas, rhododendrons,
deutzia and roses are immense, and every-
thing indicates a progressive, experi-
enced and ambitious firm that has "come
to stay."

Bradshaw & Hartman 's holly for
Thanksgiving will be ready for delivery
next Monday. J. Austin Shaw.

PHILADELPHIA.

The Market.

There is no improvement iu the cut
flower market. Quite a little business is
going on, with entirely too much stuff
in the market. Priees are weak and no
fair offer is refused. A few rare and
choice blossoms are in demand. S. S.
Pennoek filled some nice orders this
week for white orchids, usiug Dendrobium
formosum, and white violets. Eugene
Bernheimer had some fancy mignonette
and C. A. Dunn & Co. some wonderfully
fine heliotrope that brought high prices.
But these were the oases in the desert,
so to speak, the fakirs having a glad-
some time last Saturday, which was kept
up during the early part of the week.

Indications point to a heavy cut of
chrysanthemums on Thanksgiving. Still
this is a big market. Let us hope that by
the time these notes appear the glut will
be over for the present.

Notes.

George Carpenter, of West Philadel-
phia, is sending in some fine Maud Dean
chrysanthemums to William J. Baker.

Pennoek Bros, are receiving the new
rose, Ideal, daily from Jacob Becker.

Charles Fox has his windows hand-
somely decorated with yellow chrysanthe-
mums in pots, backed by Cibotium
Schiedeii, a most effective decorative-
fern.

The Flower Market is getting some
splendid double violets from Johnson, of
Hightstown, N. J.

E. H. Meehan, the well known rose
grower, now of Anaeostia, D. C, was
among the many visitors last week.

John C. Gracey has his new store ar-
ranged with great taste. The oppor-
tunities for display have been improved
in many ways. Bowls on stands, jardi-
nieres and colored glassware are freelv
used to set off his stock.

Edward Eeid says he "was for the
Eeview when it was as much as a man's
life was worth. "

election to the treasurership of the Flor-

ment.

Eugene Bernheimer is receiving some
natural cycas leaves, rather a rarity in
these days of prepared stock.

Samuel S. Pennoek received the Re-
view's Convention number when in Lon-
don. He was much pleased with it, add-
ing that it was the only trade paper that
reached him while abroad.

A chrysanthemum show has been open
for the past two weeks in the east wing

BOSTON.

The Market.
The month of October and the first
half of November stand at the head of
the advanced class in misery among
the flower growing pupils of the
"Hub." The difficulty roots itself at
the retail end of the business. All
stores report slack trade as compared
with late years, at this time, and give
all sorts of theories therefor, from re-
cent depreciations in values of stocks
and bonds to hard times generally. But
low prices have surely been assisted by
an enormous output of glass-house
goods, which have for the greater part
of this time been altogether too plenti-
ful for the most optimistic view of
good retail business. Good pinks at
times have been none too numerous and
violets were quite scarce just after the
first cold snap which paralyzed the out-
door crop before the indoor article got
fairly rooted. Tables of prices are with-
out much foundation. Reliable buyers
give reliable growers what both may call
fair prices at all times for all or part of
their goods. Irregular buyers have been
getting an advantage they must partly
pay for later on and the street fakirs
have been getting an awful inning at
their own price. It is hoped this condi-
tion is practically over. Perhaps the
warm weather has hurried out the chrys-
anthemums so that Thanksgiving day
will wipe out the remainder as was for-
merly the case instead of letting some
remain away along till after Christmas,
as is getting to be the habit. The rose
men hope so, but deep thinkers on the
subject predict a market full of good
material this winter, a rather slim de-
mand with consequent ;„w prices, hard
collections and tough financial proposi-
tions. May confusion be their lot.

Notes.

A few events are happening. Theo.
Lieburan, so long with Rosenthal, has
bought out the interests of Hambro in
the firm of Hambro & Gomperts, doing
such a trim little traffic in the little niche
in the shade of Galvin 's big store. "Wax
Bros, add some elegant fixtures to their
store, put on rather the most elegant de-
livery team in the city and have a run-
away with their new horse in a carry-all
which lames up the back of Martin 's
head severely and gives all hands a good
physical and mental jolt. They are not
easily "jarred," either!

The stockholders of the co-operative
market held their annual meeting, put in
the same old board of officials, voted not
to charge commission any more on sale of

goods left in their ice chests; voted to
put on free delivery teams, running half-
hourly in the morning to all stores, sta-
tions and express offices; voted to re-
consider a last year's vote against it
and go to supper in a body. Sounds like
strictly a business affair, doesn't it?

The Waban Rose Conservatories held
their annual exhibitory outing and ban-
quet to invited guests who report best
one of its kind in all respects and espe-
cially in display of fine roses.

Patterson, of Wollaston, opens the
bulb season by sending in a few paper
whites.

The bottle of grippe preventive lost
in the market one day last week has not
yet been found; neither have the four or
five men who separately visited a se-
cluded corner of the ice chest soon after,
yet came down with that disease.

The Market.

A slight improvement could be noticed
in the condition of the market the past
week, though there is plenty of stock
and the wholesale market is stOl drag-
ging somewhat. The retail business at
some of the places is exceptionally quiet
for this season. Some of the West End
florists report that they were quite busy
with receptions and weddings, and quite a
bit of funeral work was reported in the
South and North End.

Chrysanthemums are still very much
in evidence, and some of very fancy
quality, for which the wholesale men say
they found very good sale. Timothy
Eaton, Major Bonnaffon and Jerome
Jones had the call the past week at top
prices. A few nice Appleton and Mrs.
Perrin also sold well. Good small Ivory
are always in demand for work. Top
prices on fancy chrysanthemums are $3
per dozen, and from $1 to $2 for good
stock.

Carnations are coming in fine and
some good fancy stock was seen from
Henry Baer, of Peoria, 111., which
brought $3 per hundred. Among them
were Lawson and Bradt. Other grades
of ordinary sorts run from $1 to $2.
Stock is plentiful in all varieties except
good white, which always sells well.

In roses, American Beauties are selling
well; that is, fancy stock, which is not
over-plentiful, but there is a lot of short-
stemmed stock in at present. Three dol-
lars is asked for fancy and from that
down to 75 cents per dozen on the smaller
sorts. It is impossible to clean up the
daily cuts at present. The best grades
of Bride, Bridesmaid, Carnot, Golden
Gate and Meteor run from $5 to $6 per
hundred and from that down to job lots
at $1 per hundred.

Violets are of better quality and are
coming in freelyi These clean up al-
most every day at 50 cents per hundred
for choice, with ordinary grades at 35
cents. Lily of the valley is in fair sup-
ply and the extra select stock is in verv
good demand at $4 and $5 per hundred.
Some ordinary stock is selling at $3.
Bulb stock is slow in coming in. A few
Paper White narcissi are in, also a few
callas. Romans are looked for by the
end of the week.

Club Meeting.

The Florists' Club meeting held No-
vember 12 was well attended and very
interesting, it being our annual chrysan-
themum exhibition. The finance commit-

tee made a very favorable report, which
was accepted. Three applicants were
elected to membership, Walter Hummell,
Max Rotter and Vincent Gorley. Theo-
dore Klockenkemper and John Koenig
made application for membership. E. C.
Buechel resigned as chairman of the ho-
tel committee and Frank M. Ellis was
appointed in his place. Communications
were read from Phil Breitmeyer, Baur
& Smith, Dr. Wm. Trelease and W. J.
Stewart and filed. Six applications were
received by State Vice-President Juengel
for membership in the S. A. F.

The chrysanthemums on exhibition
were very good. A vase of fine Timothy
Eaton, shown by Theodore Klockenkem-
per, took first prize. A vase of Liberty
by Wm. Schray & Sons took second prize
and Bentzen's vase of Pullman, Modesto
and Marie Liger won third prize. The
St. Clair Floral Co. also showed a big
vase of well-grown Eatons and Mayflow-
er. E. G. Hill Co., Richmond, Ind., made
a big display of twenty-seven varieties in
which were Jean Calvat, Wm. Duckham,
Miss Lucy Evans, W. R. Charah, Otaheite,
Miss Agnes Henderson, Mrs. ThirkeU,
Ethel Fitzroy, S. T. Wright, Henry II.,
Ethelyn, H. W. Buckbee, Convention Hall,
Hero of Mafeking, Lidonia, Ida Bar-
wood, Percy Plumridge, and many other
good sorts. These were judged as very
fine flowers and all worthy of mention.
Baur & Smith showed their grand pink
carnation, Indianapolis, which was much
admired, but suffered some from ship-
ment. The St. Clair Floral Co. showed
a fine white seedling from Alaska, No.
10. These looked good. The judges on
chrysanthemums were F. J. Fillmore,
John Steidel and Otto G. Koenig. On
carnations the judges were E. W. Guy,
J. W. Dunford and Wm. Winter. The
new Breitmeyer rose, which should have
been on exhibition, came a day late. This
should have been one of the attractions.
J. A. Evans, of Richmond, Ind., was
present and told us all about the great
Indianapolis flower show.

The question box contained many in-
teresting questions and brought out
spirited discussions. The trustees an-
nounced the essays and discussions for

CINCINNATI.

The Flower Show.

The chrysanthemum show of the Cin-
cinnati florists' society was held Satur-
day, and it proved to be the best ever
seen in the society's club rooms. Both
quality and quantity of blooms were
there. The show had been liberally ad-
vertised by the city papers, and was
viewed by a vast crowd of people in the
short time that it was open to the
public. .

lull! shaped flower, trifli incurved, of a
good medium shade of pink, stem, t'oli
agfi and size right up to the mark. Ii ap-
peared to be a good one and scored
high. It is a French importation.

II. W. Rieman, of Indianapolis, Ind.,
also made a large show, displaying a
great number of varieties. They also
had two seedlings, named Adelia and Ma-
jestic, both white. They were not extra
large sized, but color, stem, foliage, etc.,
1. The latter variety is es-
pecially a good thing and will bear
watching.

The E. ti. Hill Co., of Richmond, Ind.,
showed over forty different varieties, the
majority of them being one bloom to the
\ase. with all forms and colors. It made
a decidedly attractive display and was
greatly admired by everyone.

Gunnar Teilmann, of Marion, Ind.,
showed the largest sized mums in the ex-
hibition. They were truly immense, one
vase of Goldmine being especially no-
ticeable for its size.

J. W. Rodgers staged some nicely
grown Bonnaffon and also Berrin, which
variety is very hard to beat in pink.

R. Witterstaetter made a fine show of
mums and carnations. His Col. D. Ap-
pleton were the finest I have ever seen,
and it is doubtful if they could have
been better grown. One vase containing
a large number of this year's seedling
carnations was very attractive and any
of them would have made the heart of
an ordinary grower happy. A vase of
No. 822A, a beautiful red carnation, was
in fine form for so early.

George & Allan staged a vase of Chad-
wick which were grand, and had it not
been that they were too late in staging
them, to compete, they would undoubted-
ly have carried off first prize for best
vase of white.

S. S. Skidelsky had with him a vase
of the new Breitmeyer rose. They were
the same that had been on exhibition at
Indianapolis, last week, which proves it
to be a good keeper. In other respeets
it would not be fair to criticise it, under
the circumstances.

The awards were as follows: Best
vase white, first, E. G. Hill Co.; second,
Gunnar Teilmann; third, H. W. Rieman.
Best vase pink, first, E. G. Hill Co.; sec-
ond J. W. Rodgers; third, J. W. Rodg-
ers. Best vase yellow, first, R. Witter-
stnotter; second, E. G. Hill Co.; third,
Gunnar Teilmann. Best vase Bonnaf-
fon, first. R. Witterstaetter, second and
third, J. W. Rodgers. Best general dis-
play, E. G. Hill Co.

The judge, Theo. Bock, was unable to
be present, owing to sickness, and Ben
George and Louis Ffeiffer officiated In
his stead.

There was nothing considered for S. A.
F. medals.

After the show the regular meeting
of the society was held. There was no
business of "importance to be brought
up, with the exception of a few details in
regard to the future shows. Elmer
Smith, on his way home from an ex-
tended trip east; Harry Sheppard, of the
E. G. Hill Co.; Mr. Rieman, of Indian-
apolis, Ind., and S. S. Skidelsky were
in attendance at the meeting and all

gave interesting talks regarding the
mum shows they had visited recently.

The Market.

Business is just as good as last week
which is saying a great deal. Mums still
sell well and the supply is heavier than
it has been at any time so far this sea-
son. They are not bringing quite so high
a price, but this is due more to quality
than over-supply.

Carnations are about, the same as last
week. Fancy ones are selling well and
a good cold snap would quickly put them
up to 4 cents. Short-stemmed roses are
still over plentiful, but long ones sell
well and more could be disposed of.
There is a big demand for American
Beauties with not enough to supply it.
The best grade brings $4 per dozen
readily.

Notes.

Saturday evening a horse and wagon
belonging to George & Allan was stolen
from in front of the flower market. The
thief was caught but not uutil he had
disposed of a good lot of palms which
the wagon contained.

Geo. Bayer, of Toledo, O., is sending
some very good mums to E. G. Gillett.
They are Bonnaffon, Ivory, Wana-
maker, Helen Bloodgood, and Viviand-
Morel.

Owing to the carelessness of a night
fireman B. F. Critchell has suffered a
loss of from $200 to $300 in his chrys-
anthemums. Frost entered one of the
houses and they are practically a total
loss.

H. H. Hitter, of Bayton, O., suffered
a severe loss through fire during the past
week. His boilers exploded, the boiler
shed caught fire and before it could be
extinguished the greater portion pf five
houses was consumed. He carried no
insurance.

Those who attended the Indianapolis
show from this city returned home
greatly pleased with what they saw and
loud in their praise of the hospitality or
the Indiana boys. The Cincinnati party
consisted of W. Murphv, W. Schuman,
D. Sunderbruch and wife, J. W. Rodgers,
L. H. Kyrk and W. K. Fartridge. E. G.
Gillett was unable to attend, owing to the
death of a near relative.

Ben Hensley, representing Joy & Son,
of Nashville, Tenn., was a caller.

C. J. Ohmer.

Spokane, Wash. — Hoyt Bros., who
now have 55,000 feet "of glass, have
moved their retail store to 807 Riverside
avenue, where Miss Armstrong has
charge.

Norwalk, O.— Evans & Feat are
building a flower store and conservatory
which will compare favorably with those
in larger cities. They will be ready for
business about December 1.

Winona, Minn. — St. Paul's parish
has had a flower show, each of four
florists occupying and decorating a sepa-
rate room. The exhibitors were the
Central Greenhouses, Woodlawn Green-
houses, the Winona Floral Co. and John
Wunder.

Springfield, Mass.— Alfred J. Buck-
leton is a bankruptcy petitioner, with lia-
bilities of $S,538 and assets of $7,000.

The Market.

With the weather cold, receipts have
shortened a little and trade has taken
some new life, but there is still an abun-
lance of stock for all requirements, with
I 'inspects for plenty for Thanksgiving.
The local retailers say it is remarkable
how trade has gone against roses. They
.say Beauty is the only thing wanted in
the rose line, and the reports at the whole-
sale houses bear out this statement, al-
though there is a good call for special-
ties, .such as choice l.ibil I \ , ( ,hutona\ ami
Sunrise.

There are and have been plenty of car-
nations of very fine grade. At no time
this season has there been any shortage
and it has generally been counted an ex-
ceptionally brisk day when the market is
sold clean. Of course, there is always
seme skirmishing to fill particular needs,
and cold weather may cut production.
Chrysanthemums are selling better now
and C. L. Washburn says it begins to
look as though it was cold weather, not
a flower show, which was needed to en-
liven business in this department.

Violets are going well, prices, of course,
being according to quality and a good
twenty-five per cent below last year's av-
erage at this time. Valley is very plenti-
ful. A few Paper Whites are coming in.
All green goods are plentiful.

The Greek Trade.

Some of the down town retailers are
said to be wondering if there is any
connection between the fact that their
trade is no greater than a year ago,
if it is even up to that, and the absence
of the sidewalk merchants from the
streets. One of those who fought them
hardest is quoted as saying that he has
about concluded the street salesmen were
good advertising for the trade, it being
something like a case of "out of sight
out of mind" with flowers. Moreover,
as most of the Greeks have rented stores,
they are now doing business in direct
competition with the retailers, handling
good stock at close prices. Some of the
boys who were driven off the curb have
located in other cities, with a buyer here
who picks up the job lots and ships them
out, greatly to the disadvantage of the
wholesale trade, for doubtless there is
not a wholesale house which has not
heard from one or more good customers
who were incensed because of this new
form of cheap competition.

Various Notes.

The Florists ' Club will hold its annual
ball at the drill hall in the Masonic Tem-
ple on the evening of December 2. A
large attendance seems assured. The
club held its second November meeting
last night.

0. J. Friedman had a big wedding or-
der for Tuesday, for the nuptials of the
daughter of Otto Young.

Next Tuesday John Mangel will go to
La Porte, Ind., to decorate for the Tav-
lor wedding. The caterer and decorator
will go down with a special car.

E. C. Amling says he could supply
3,000 strings of asparagus on notice suf-
ficient to cut the stock. He says the
sale for this has increased greatly, but
not so fast as the supply. Bunches of
plumosus are selling very well.

George Eeinberg is getting in a big
cut just right for Thanksgiving.

Kennicott Bros, are getting violets
from a Wisconsin grower that are easily
the best coming to town, and the grower

maintains this quality year after year.

Sinner Bros, are beginning to cut
sweet peas. They have boxed up about
70,000 Dutch bulbs and Paper Whites.
The latter will be in in a few days.

E. II. Hunt reports a big business on
wild smilax.

The E. F. Winterson Co. has given the
name "Perfect Shape" to the wire work
they turn out.

Visitors: Fred Dorner, Jr., Lafay-
ette; A. F. J. Baur, Indianapolis; Geo.

MINNEAPOLIS.

A Progressive Concern.

The Minneapolis Floral Co. has added
a new carnation range of 10,000 feet
during the past season and an additional
50,000 feet is projected for next year.
This place, consisting of 100,000 square
feet, is the most extensive in the state.
Twenty thousand roses are planted this
season. Mr. Monson claims own root
stock will produce more good blossoms
during the season than grafted stock.
Grafted stock is stronger and produces
larger and better roses earlier in the sea-
son but this is offset by the larger crop
from own root stock at the holidays and
during the winter when roses are more
in demand. All the standard roses are
grown and two or three good seedlings
from France are very promising, espe-
cially for summer bloom.

In the new range erected the past
summer he has 10,000 carnations, good
strong plants, just now in crop. The
leading varieties here are Enchantress,
Lawson, Queen Louise, Mrs. Nelson,
Crane, Bradt, Prosperity, Apollo, Mrs.
Joost and White Cloud.

In the line of violets Mr. Monson has
been particularly successful. Last season
from two benches of about 2,700 plants
he picked 285,000 blossoms, which netted
him upwards of $3,000. I don't know
whether this would be considered a big
crop among the Eastern growers, but in
.Minnesota it is the record. This season
two houses are planted to violets, with
about 5,500 plants, and they are looking
better than they did a year ago.

A full lino of 'mums is grown, some
very fine blooms and plants being noted.
Bedding plants are also grown, as well
as a large stock of palms, ferns, etc.
Nearly 500,000 bulbs are planted for
early forcing.

Notwithstanding the immense output
of this place, Mr. Monson is obliged to

INDEPENDENCE, IA.

The home of Florist Bland, of the
State Hospital here, was recently the
scene of one of the prettiest weddings
of the season, the occasion being thi
marriage of his oldest daughter, Emily,
to Archer Henderson. The house was
tastefully decorated, the bride and
groom standing in a bower of palms,
while roses and carnations were used
in profuson in the other rooms.

A visit to the greenhouses showed
improvements still being made. A new
palm house. 35x25, is near completion,
being Lord & Bnrnham 's iron frame
construction. In the other houses the

stock was much crowded awaiting the
room which the new house will provide.

Among other things are some magnifi-
cent plants of Adiantum cuneatum and
grandiceps, also Areca luteseens and the
kentias in tubs were very fine. Owing
to crowding rendered unavoidable by
late building, chrysanthemums had lost
some foliage, yet grand blooms were
fast maturing. Roses and carnations
looked fine. The grounds and planta-
tions all show skillful care.

A brief visit to Florist Bissell found
him bright and active for a man of
his years. lie enjoys a good local
trade and has a neat little plant of
about 3,000 feet of glass. His roses
were not quite so good as usual, but in
carnations he would be hard to beat,
every variety being in the best of con-
dition, while his Lawsons were the fin-
est I have ever seen. A nice batch of
mums in a cool house was promising
good returns later, while in a dwarf
late chrysanthemum he has something
he is not talking about, but is awaiting
it to show its true character. Some nice
plants of Nephrolepis Piersoni and Bos-
toniensis were also to be seen. H. S.

GARDENING"*

SETTING TOMATOES.

At the present time, and as long as the
weather continues bright, the setting of
tomatoes is a comparatively easy matter,
the shaking of the vines during the
brightest part of the day being all that
is necessary to distribute the pollen, the
supply of which is usually so plentiful
that some of it will find its way to the
stigmas. But with the arrival of the
dull days the setting operation entails
considerably more trouble. A good deal
depends on the varieties grown and also
on the suitability of the house provided;
the brighter the house the easier the pol-
linating process can be accomplished.
Some varieties supply pollen plentifully,
while others are shy pollen bearers. It is
well when trying new varieties, or varie-
ties that you are not sure of, to grow a
few of Lorillard or some of the old
standard varieties, which under average
conditions produce a plentiful supply of
pollen. It is also a good plan to store
pollen when it is plentiful, in prepara-
tion for the time when it is not so easily
to be had. It is not so much that tl
flowers do not produce pollen during dull
weather, but that the pollen is not set
free for lack of sunlight, the action of
which is necessary to burst the anther
cells in which the pollen is bound. We
find a convenient plan to collect pollen
is to shake the flowers over a piece of
clean glass and lay the glass away in a
close box in a dry, warm place, where it
will keep in good condition for a consid-
erable time. It can then be applied when
wanted by means of a small camel's hair
brush. The brush takes up quite a little
of the pollen at first, but after it is
loaded it will go over a lot of flowers.
A bright day should be chosen for the
operation, as on such days the stigmas
are in better condition to receive the
pollen than on dull, damp days.

ORANGE, N. I.

Society Gives Exhibition.
A "chrysanthemum night" was ob-
served by the New Jersey Floricultural
Society as a feature of the November
meeting. It drew out the full strength
of the society, besides a fine display
of chryanthemum blooms and a suffi-
cient variety of other flowers to pre-
vent monotony. President George Smith
staged his big blooms with his usual
skill in display, setting them off with
crotons and other foliage plants, and
the whole against a bank of palms. His
mingling of his various carnations pro-
duced a finer effect by contrast than
had each individual kind been by itself.
Peter Duff came from Madison, where
he carried off ten firsts. He had re-
served some particularly fine blooms for
this show, however. "Vice President
William Bennett held the place of hon-
or, occupying the entire east end of the
Elks' assembly room with a pyramidal
group set off with Dracaena terminalis
and D. Sanderiana. His Balfour con-
trasted by Garza were particularly ef-
fective. Dieterik Kindsgrab's well-
grown Begonia Gloire de Lorraine in
6-inch pots formed a graceful screen to
the secretary's desk, while the allaman-
da blooms of John Hayes furnished a

fitting mate on the other side to that
of Treasurer Macrorie.

In point of attendance the show ex-
ceeded any ever held in these rooms and
it was found necessary to keep the
crowd moving that all might have op-
portunity of viewing. The only draw-
back was that it was limited to but one
night. It was the most successful in
this very successful series in the con-
test for the four silver cups, of which
the next meeting will be the last.

The new rose General McArthur, with
a generous vase of Bride carnations on
each side, against a miscellaneous back-
ing of new chrysanthemum blooms,
staged by John N. May, and the new
pink chrysanthemum, Dr. Englehardt, of
W. A. Manda, held the admiration of
the crowd throughout the evening.

W. A. Manda has added another range
of glass to his large plant at South
Orange.

George Atkinson 's chrysanthemum
output is 40,000 this year, 'which, with
the exception of only a small number
for local trade, are disposed of among
the New York jobbers.

TARRYTOWN, N. Y.

The F. B. Pierson Co. is still shipping
Piersoni in large quantities to every part
of the country, but the supply remains
unlimited. The 5, 6 and 8-inch pots for
the retail florists seem to be in special
favor and the immense house at Scarboro
devoted to these commercial sizes will be
none too large to meet the increasing de-
mand. The weather east has been speci-
ally favorable for shipping this fall, and
not a fern has been injured by frost to
date.

Among Mr. Pierson 's exhibits at the
flower shows has been his new pink
'mum, Dr. Englehardt, a flower of great
depth and substance, with remarkably
strong stem and foliage, which he con-
siders the best since Appleton. His new
red carnation, Daheim, is striking in its
brilliance of color and strong stem. The
new yellow 'mum, No. 15, which prom-
ises great results will not be sent out
until 1905.

NURSERY NEWS.

AMERICAN ASSOCIATION OF NURSERYMEN.

! held at Atlanta. Ga., June.

Wm. Baxter, for fifty-one years with
W. & T. Smith Co., Geneva, N. Y., died
November 12.

W. F. Schell, manager of the Wichita
Nursery, Wichita, Kans., says they are
doing the largest fall business on rec-
ord, mostly in fruit trees.

F. W. Taylor has visited every state
and territory in the Union, save Okla-
homa, in the interests of agriculture and
horticulture at the St. Louis exposition.

Stark Bros., Louisiana, Mo., have
planted, with cuttings, more than 100
acres of land in the grape belt at Dun-
kirk, N. V. Most of the stock is Con-
cord.

At Omaha two nurserymen, C. H.
Green and L. E. Greene, became involved
in an imbroglio because of mistaken iden-
tity, each repudiating orders taken by the
other.

A. Pinoteau, superintendent of parks
at Montreal, is planting a great many
shrubs this fall, to replace bedding
plants, the use of which has been aban-
doned in many situations.

Proe. H. T. Fernald, entomologist for
the state of Massachusetts, has just com-
pleted the annual inspection of nurser-
ies and reports them very clean. Last
year eighty places were inspected, this
year 110, the increase being mostly flor-
ists' establishments, where some nur-
sery stock is carried.

J. L. Phillips, state entomologist, at
Blacksburg, Va., has issued the follow-
ing circular:

On November 5 I examined a larje lot of

nursery stock in Roanoke

Seed Trade News.

AMERICAN SEED TRADE ASSOCIATION.

Pres., S. F. Wlllard, Wethersfleld. Conn.; First
Vici-Pn-s.. J. Ohaa. McCnlloutrh. Cincinnati, O.;
Sec'y and Treas., C. E. Kend.l, Cleveland, o,
Tlie 32.1 annual meeting will be held at St. Louis.

There seems to be anxiety on the part
of bouquet green jobbers to cover their
sales.

WHAT per cent will be delivered on
contract sweet corn orders is an import-
ant question just now.

Beans are drying slowly; there will
likely be a delay in the delivery of con-
tract orders owing to this.

Work ou the catalogues is being pushed
and there seems to be a shortage of nov-
elties as well as of cucumber seed.

The farmers in the northwest are in-
terested in the macaroni wheats, and
many will sow them for trial next year.

The Livingston Seed Co., Columbus,
O., has an output of some 2,000 barrels
of tomato pulps, which they sell to a
catsup maker.

Visited Chicago: H. W. Jones, of
the Sioux City Seed and Nursery Co.,
Sioux City, la., on his way home from
northern Michigan.

This cold snap has caused a hustle
among the onion set growers to get win-
ter quarters for the scattering lots that
are still left in the open.

J. C. Eobinson, of Waterloo, Neb.,
calls attention to the fact that his cir-
cular on the cucumber seed situation was
wrongly credited in our last issue.

The liabilities of the Cape Vincent
Seed Co. are scheduled at $2S,907 and
assets $40,076. A debt of $25,000 to
the United National Bank is in dispute.

Bogers Bros., of Chaumont, N. Y., are
offering a novelty in the way of a new
pole bean, the Golden Carmine. The
new pea, Dwarf Champion, is another of
their introductions.

E. L. Osborn, formerly manager of
the Blant Seed Co. 's interests at Petos-
key, Mich., is reported as about to en-
gage in seed growing under the name
of the Petoskey Seed Co.

As we go to press the local pickle men
are holding a convention at the Palmer
House, Chicago. Information of value
bearing upon the cucumber seed situa-
tion could probably be picked up from
ill"-' in attendance.

( iwixci to full deliveries in general of
crops from the Pacific coast this year
and a doubt as to what the coming de-
mand for mi.1i seeds will be, makes
rougher sledding than ordinary for the
growers from the coast who are looking
for advance contract orders.

Nothing new has developed the past
week to alter the corn and cucumber sit-
uation. Things remain about as they
have been, and anyone who is well enousrli
posted to give definite figures covering
the probable quantities in sight or the
actual value of either cucumber seed or
sweet corn is in hiding.

STUMPP & WALTER CO., 50 Barclay St., NEW YORK.

BRANCH STORE: 404 EAST 34TB STREET.

The southern and southwestern trade
are eager for part shipments of their
contract orders, and the jobbers are do-
ing their best to make the shipments as
complete as possible.

Ealph M. Ward & Co., 17 Battery
place, New York, opened for business
November 2. Mr. Ward was formerly
with Hagemann & Meyer and later a
partner in Hagemann & Co. With him
are his brother, C. Wayne Ward, travel-
ing salesman, and J. H. Thomas, office
manager.

The Southern Seed Company has been
incorporated at Louisville, Ky., with
$50,000 capital, and indebtedness limited
to $100,000. The "incorporators are
James F. Tinsley, of Bichmond, Va., 195
shares; P. G. Tinsley, of Nashville, 75
shares; A. D. Ladoux, of New York,
30 shares; B. S. Merimee and T. H.
Merimee, of Louisville, 50 shares each,
and Ed. C. Foltz, of Louisville, 100
shares.

When harvesting Dobbie 's Golden Ball
turnip seed this summer at Orpington,
writes Wm. Cuthbertson, in the Garden-
ers' Chronicle, I was struck with the ap-
pearance of a remarkably fine plant.
I had it saved by itself and thrashed out.
the weight of seed was 8*4 ounces. I
counted the seeds in l-16th of an ounce,
and found they numbered 1,120, which
works out 147,840 for the 8% ounces.
Thus a single seed sown in July, 1902,
has reproduced itself 147,840 times in
a twelvemonth.

Many of the jobbers are sceptical as
to the scarcity of sweet corn. They
argue that plenty of the seed will de-
velop later on. The only fear entertained
is that the germination may be poor,
on account of the soft condition of the
ears as they are taken from the shocks.
A great proportion of the chits, when
they are picked out of the cob and ex-
amined, show a blackness which is not
liked by those who are posted. How
much this will affect the sprouting of
the grains is a question, and it will have
an important bearing upon the quantity
of sweet corn available for seed.

Chrysanthemums for Thanksgiving
Dittsburg Cut Flower Co. Ltd.

CHRYSANTHEMUMS, CARNATIONS, JS0,^*!^ fl°rists,

ROSES AND VALLEY. 504 Liberty Ave,, Pittsburg, Pa.

The Markel.

Quantities of all kinds of flowers are
arriving in this market and the demand
is only fair. The mild fall weather is
bringing along large quantities of
chrysanthemums and roses. In fact roses
and chrysanthemums are a glut and hard
to move at respectable figures. So far
mums have not affected the demand for
Beauties in the slightest; the supply is
large and the quality extra fine. In
miscellaneous roses, the fancy varieties
have the call, the minor grades remain-
ing unsold. Some very choice Golden
Gate and Ivory are being received. Car-
nations are not blooming as freely as
other seasons, but it's a good fault just
now, as their scarceness keeps up their
prices a little. Quantities of sweet peas
and California violets are arriving and!
find a good market. Smilax is very
plentiful and Sprengeri scarce.

Notes.

Henry Eichholz, of Waynesboro, is
sending the finest Jerome Jones seen in
this city; in size and quality they will
hardly be equaled in the country.

Blind Bros, are cutting some very fine
Niveus.

The Pittsburg Rose and Carnation Co.,
at Bakerstown, is shipping quantities of
extra fine Maids and Brides to the Cut
Flower Co.

Among the retailers, Randolph & Mc-
Clements, A. W. Smith, Breitenstein &
Flemm, L. I. Neff and T. M. TJlam, re-
port good business with weddings and
other festivities.

Mrs. E. A. Williams furnished the dec-
orations for the Consistory banquet at
Duquesne Garden last Friday; the work
was elaborate and costly.

Geddis & Blind are making a fine win-
dow display with chrysanthemums at
their Fifth street store.

The Pittsburg Cut Flower Co. is re-
ceiving some very choice sweet peas, long-
iflorum lilies and mignonette.

E. C. Ludwig is handling a great va-
riety of very beautiful out-door pompon
chrysanthemums. Hoo-Hoo.

Chicago, O. — John Klink has sold his
greenhouses to George H. Meyers and
will leave for Cuba in a short time.

Watertown, N. T. — Greene & Under-
bill have paid their creditors a first and
final dividend of 75 per cent in. their
bankruptcy case.

Gareettsvtlle, O. — S. C. Temple has
been at Ravenna to judge the flower
show and reports it the best amateur

Take pleasure in calling your attention to their unrivalled collection of Wreaths.
Among them are the new Statice or Scotch Heather Wreath, a beautiful green, I
exquisitely shaded ; the Ruscus Wreath, closely resembling a wreath made of
Smilax; our well-known Magnolia, Beech and Laurel Wreaths in green and
brown foliage, and many others. These Wreaths can be decorated with a bunch
of flowers, tied with a bow of ribbon, or dotted with immortelles to give variety
and finish. You will find them a paying investment. Address

Schmid's Bird Store,

CLEVELAND.

The business situation here shows a
slight change for the better. Cuts are
lighter, and an increased demand is felt
for all lines, but there is still plenty of
stock to fill all orders, and sofne of it
goes at prices that are too low to men-
tion. Most of the stands in Sheriff
street market showed some very fine
mums on Saturday, but sales were slow,
and prices very reasonable.

In the recent death of M. A. Wilhelmy,
Cleveland loses one of its oldest florists,
he having been engaged in this business
for a great many years on Pearl street,
opposite Kiverside cemetery, where he
did a very successful business until about,
three years ago, when he retired, leaving
his sons, C. B. and E. A. Wilhelmy, to
carry on the business. The funeral was
from his late residence on Saturday af-
ternoon and many beautiful floral pieces
were sent by his friends in the trade.

Dayton, O. — The greenhouse establish
ment of H. H. Eitter was practically
destroyed by fire November 8.

Lancaster, N. Y— J. H. Bebstock, of
Buffalo, has bought the S. B. Smiley
greenhouses and will operate them in
connection, with his other business.

Chableroi, Pa. — Theo. J. Allen has
recently lost his wife and has leased his
establishment to W. E. Maebius, of War-
ren, Ohio, who will conduct it while Mr.
Allen spends the winter at Orlando, Pla.
It is an up-to-date range of 14,000 feet
of glass. A house 44x100 is planted in
carnations, one 24x100 to roses, one 18x
100 is given to 'mums and one 12x100 to
palms.

Santa Cruz, Cal. — W. E. King will
have a good cut of asparagus for
Christmas.

Menlo Park, Cal.— M. Lynch has
some very large chrysanthemums, West-
ern King being the largest among the
whites. Outside bloom is early this sea-
son.

Elmhurst, Cal. — A." Massey has just
put in a new heater. His stock is in
extra fine form, carnations especially.
Estelle, Enchantress, Cressbrook, Bill
and Prosperity are the varieties grown.
His Prosperity are grand and sold last
winter at $1.25 per dozen.

San Francisco — Ferrari Bros, have
just completed a new engine house of
concrete and installed three new steam
boilers, in all 200 horse-power, oil bur-
ners. They are now receiving from Eu-
rope large shipments of bulbs and other
stock. At the greenhouses of John H.
Sievers & Co. the orchids are beautiful
now. So are the carnations. Hanna Ho-
bart holds her own, but Adolpli Spreckcl<;
is right after her. Both are aristocrats.
The former will make her debut in 1905.
the latter will be held in subjection lon-
ger. Another new house has just been
completed at this place. Cox & Co. have
a fine lot of Australian tree seedlings in
great varieties. They appear to be very
successful in handling this stock.

SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA.

Carnations.
Eedondo, famed for its fine carnations,
is about to increase its output. A com-
pany is being formed that will put in
thirty acres, so by this time next year
the stores of Los Angeles will be better
supplied than in the past.

The Eedondo Floral Co. has several
acres planted from which blooms are
cut the whole year, which is not possible
anvwhere except in southern California.
This company also has two houses, each
15x200, planted to carnations, and doing
well.

Henry Flieder, who made the carna-
tions of Redondo famous, has his acres
in fine shape, and is cutting fine blooms.
He is still adding to his prosperity and
popularity among the craft.

Mr. TVolfskill, another Eedondo grow-
er, has moved to Los Angeles where-
he has built several houses which he has
planted to carnations that are comiDg
along in grand shape under the skillful
handling of Mr. Joe Watson, which goes
to prove that carnations can be grown
under-glass just as well in Los Angeles
as in San Francisco or New York.

The Ocean Park Floral Co. is another
firm growing out. of door carnations ou
a large scale. Their gardens are located
at Santa Monica, where the climate and
soil is the same as at Eedondo.

The difference in soil is so great that
carnations cannot be as successfully
grown in Los Angeles as in Eedondo in
the open field. The Eedondo soil is hard
to describe and it is harder to under-
stand how it can have the vitality which
it certainly has. It contains no clay, or
even what vou might call loam. It- re-
sembles sea' sand except that it is dark
brown in color. Its value lies in the fact
that it is composed of minute particles

of sea shells. When taken in the hand
it makes one think he is handling corn
meal. But it will grow anything that is
planted in it and it can be worked any
day in the year. It can be flooded with
water and a few hours later can be
spaded, plowed or cultivated. But
around Los Angeles the soils are too
heavy for carnations and need good
stable manure and sand to lighten them
up.

San Diego is another good carnation
growing country, and a good field for
investment in that line. There is prac-
tically no frost and plants grow 3l
in the year. Poinsettia. stephanotis,
Bignonia venusta, bougainvilleas, etc
do as well in the open air in San Diego
as they do in stove houses elsewhere.

The Los Angeles stores are looking
well. Carnations, roses and chrysanthe-
mums are the principal flowers at pres-
ent. Business was never better and the
city never more prosperous. The number
of new buildings in course of construc-
tion is amazing, and the prophecy of a
city of 250,000 by 1910 seems destined
to be realized. H. B.

SAN FRANCISCO.

The Market

We have had a drizzling rain for the
past few days and it is playing havoc
with outside stock, much to the delight
of the rose and carnation growers, who,
by the way, have not fared any too well
the way prices have been for the last
month. Business is quiet all around and
stock is moving very slowly. Chrysan-
themums are still as plentiful as ever
and can be had at the lowest prices imag-
inable. Violets seem at last to be really
plentiful and the wholesale price has
fallen from $1 to 75 cents per dozen
bunches, during the last two days. Car-
nations are selling as follows: Portia.
Joost and Scott, 15 to 20 cents per doz-
en. Flora Hill. Crocker and Estelle 20
to 25 cents per dozen. Lawson and
Prosperity at 25 to 30 cents per dozen
and fancy stock at 3 dozen for $1. I
look for these prices to rise somewhat
during the next week if the weather con-
tinues unfavorable. Boses are getting
somewhat scarcer and good Beauties are
in very short supply at present. They
are bringing from $1.50 to $2 per doz-
en wholesale today and short stems at
about half that price. Brides and Maids
sell at from 50 cents to 75 cents, accord-
ing to quality. Kaiserin and Testout
are holding their own at about the same
price. Souv. du Pres. Carnot are worth
75 cents and Liberty 50 cents per dozen.
The best inside white, chrysanthemums
sell today at from $1 to $1.50 per dozen.
and best yellow varieties at about the
same figure. Outside grown flowers of
the same size, but of course not of as
fine texture or length of stem, can be
had at from 25 cents to 50 cents per
dozen, and smaller flowers at from $1 to
$1.50 per hundred.

Smilax is very plentiful and brake
ferns are getting longer of stem. Val-
ley is not plentiful and is quickly bought
up.

Notes.

It is rumored that Mayor Schmitz will
appoint William J. Dingee, a son of the
founder of the Dingee & Conard Co., a
park commissioner. Mr. Dingee has done a
great deal for horticulture in California,

With plants still in flower in the open
ground and with the greatest crops of in-
door bloom ever known, it is no wonder
that trade has been a little dull and
flowers have gone to waste. The stores
have all been filled to overflowing and.
while sales have been fairly good, they
could easily have been doubled without
exhausting the supply. Eoses are espe-
cially abundant and of fine quality. Car-
nations are also coming in quite freely,
though there is no apparent glut in the
market. Violets have suffered somewhat
from the warm weather. Even 'mums
are hanging their heads.

Last week the annual flower show was
on and every one was busy.

The Weekly Florists' Review.

November 19, 1903.

The Market.

Trade, generally speaking, for the past

eek was verj g I. While everything

sold well, there was a special demand for

I'.e'intics ami chrysanthemums. The week
was marked by the demise of several

pi nut people, and the debut of the

daughters of several equally prominent
unthemums, of course,
are the leader and Omaha has seen some
blooms with plenty more coming.
Nothing in the newer varieties is seen,
i ,, 1 1 n Beems the. ones we have could
scarcely be improved upon.

Roses have been a trifle backward, the
effects of our very wet autumn, but are
dot rounding into excellent shape. Car-
nations, too, are making great advance-
ment, and the indications are the winter
will produce the finest flowers we have
ever seen.

Notes.

Alfred Donaghue, Jr., will open a mod-
ern store at Sixteenth and Faraam
streets, about November 25. Mr. Donag-
hue, having no glass of his own, will
draw on his father, who has greatly in-
creased his plant this summer.

The annual meeting of the Nebraska
Florists' Society was held November 12.
Election of officers was the order for the
evening. Vice-president S. E. Falconer
was elected to succeed J. J. Hess, as

This year .John rather led hi* elder

which were especially fine. Wm. Lppli

and folia*;.' i .i:i nt~. - • 1 1 in- a special
prize. Wm. Hill, private gardener, also
put up a fine showing of foliage ami
cnrysanthemiun plants. There were some
very good roses and carnations shown by
the Messrs. Maria.- also violets. There

were a a I display of fruits, |...-. rv...

jellies and honey. The attend] ■ was

The Market.
Business lias been dull so far this fall.
no large decorations and only a little

funeral work. The tveathei - l.eeu too

balmy for good business. There is a
abundance of all kinds of good flowers.
Plants go slowly. The department store?
iffer sword ferns, rubbers and palms
from 19 to 89 cents, no choice stock,
however; it's a good outlet for such
stock. We look forward to Thanksgiv-
ing for a starting point for g ' busi

ness- for the winter.

The Weekly Florists' Review.

The pa.-t week has been making quite
so far as the floral trade is con-
cerned. Though general sales cannot be
stated as much above the average, yet our
two large department stores made quite
a display during the week. They held
what they called "floral shows," lasting
three days each. Much comment lias I. ecu
made by our retail florists generally, upon
these two shows, and while it is not for

m ..lament upon the respective merits

..t these exhibits, I would say that I be-
lie\o the shows had a good etl'e.-t upon
the trade generally. These two la*ee
concerns, with unlimited means of adver-
tising, did more to bring (lowers generally
before the buying public than the aver
.age retail florist does in a lifetime.

Notes.

The Toronto Horticultural Association
held a chrysanthemum show November
17 and 18, of which, of course, at time
of writing we Can say nothing, but that

preparations look favorable for a g I

exhibit.

We hear that a new flower stoic is *
be opened on King street by a Toronto
lady. The location is in the neighbor-
hood of our two largest cut flower deal
■ers.

J. S. Simmons is sporting another new
wagon, which eclipses anything hitherto
.seen in the trade in Toronto and in
fact it is doubtful if there is a delivery
wagon in any line of business in the city
that will compare with it.

W. .1. Lawrence is now cutting his first
good roses this season. "W. J." kei.t
his houses in late .and supplied the mar-
ket with fine stock during June and July,
consequently he was late in coming in
this fall.
